WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2011

HARRISBURG — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s status as a free man could change if more accusers surface and police file new charges, as his lawyer fears. Sandusky, now awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused eight boys over 15 years, could then find himself with a high bail he might not be able to pay, criminal defense lawyers said Tuesday.

Going to mat for kids By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – Towering over pretty much everyone and boasting biceps the size of tree trunks, pro wrestler Sheamus O’Shaunessy isn’t immediately believable when he says he was bullied as a boy. Of course, he notes, “I wasn’t always 6 foot 6 and 270 pounds.” The “Irish Curse” with the

Erin-go-Bragh brogue may be all machismo on the mat, but he proved the gentle giant while chatting with students about bullying at Solomon/Plains Memorial Junior High School on Tuesday afternoon. When Reiley McDonald told Sheamus the kids “call me stupid,” the nattily dressed wrestler wrapped an arm around the 12year-old and told him firmly,

“You’re as smart and bright as anyone else in this school. You’re as smart and bright as anyone else in this country. “Do you believe you can be anything you want to be?” Sheamus asked, prompting a mild “yes” from Reiley. Sheamus asked a second time, prodding for a more positive re-

Scranton post office backers state case

Efficiency, effectiveness cited as reasons to keep processing operations from moving. By GERARD HETMAN For The Times Leader

SCRANTON -- As the U.S. Postal Service aims to adapt to a changing business climate, post office officials are studying the impact of consolidating a number of mail processing facilities in Pennsylvania, including the one in Scranton. For the approximately 300 employees who work at the facility, Tuesday evening offered not only a chance to voice their opinions and concerns about the move, but also to tout the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the Scranton facili- “The closty. ing of this Approximately 400 peo- facility ple were at could cripScranton High School as repre- ple the sentatives from fragile lothe Central cal econoPennsylvania District of the my of U.S. Postal Service held a re- Northeastquired public ern Pennmeeting on the proposed clos- sylvania. … ing of the We should Scranton mail processing fa- be relocatcility.

Former Immigration and Naturalization Service special agent Michael Cutler and Congressman Lou Barletta answer questions at a forum Tuesday evening at Wilkes University.

Immigration in spotlight By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Congressman Lou Barletta stumped for one bill purporting to crack down on illegal immigration and condemned another at an illegal immigration forum Tuesday at Wilkes University. The first bill was Barletta’s own, which he unveiled in June and dubbed the Mobilizing against Sanctuary Cities Act. It would strip federal aid from socalled sanctuary cities that forbid local police officers from asking questions about a person’s immigration status, which Barletta numbers at more than 100 nationwide. The second, titled the Legal Workforce Act, recently made it out of committee despite Barletta’s opposition. It would require employers check the immigration status of new hires by using the federal government’s E-Verify system, but in doing so it would

also forbid states and municipalities from checking an individual’s immigration status using the same system unless the federal government had already done so, Barletta said. “What it states is that this law; this bill will pre-empt any city from enforcing E-Verify if the government doesn’t do it first,” Barletta said. Barletta, R-Hazleton, said the bill would negate the advances in the rights of states and municipalities to enforce the law even though the Supreme Court has upheld their right to do so. Arizona’s illegal immigration law was recently declared constitutional by the court, and the Illegal Immigration Relief Act Barletta enacted as mayor of Hazleton, which was initially struck down but on appeal made it to the Supreme Court, was sent back to the 3rd Circuit Court. The forum was organized by Brian McElwee, a Swoyersville

resident who writes about immigration for Examiner.com. He said he believes the area has “serious immigration issues that we need to deal with.” “What I want to do is provoke some thoughts,” McElwee said. Sharing the stage with Barletta was Michael Cutler, a former Immigration and Naturalization Service special agent who testified in the lawsuit over Hazleton’s immigration law. He characterized the federal government’s inability to enforce the immigration laws currently on the books as a threat to national security but said the solution to that problem is not as simple as building more fences along America’s borders. Better interior enforcement, including deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes and cracking down on employers who hire illegal workers, is a more effective approach, he said.

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A Wapwallopen man investigators say was the main cocaine supplier in a drug ring has appealed his case to the state Superior Court. Anthony Manchio, 51, was sentenced last month to five to 10 years in state prison on 13 related charges he pleaded guilty to in April. Investigators said Manchio and 22 other members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club were charged in the ongoing investigation known as Operation Avalanche. Manchio appealed his sentence to the state Superior Court with the assistance of his attorney, Brian Corcoran. According to court records, the investigation began in July 2008 when agents with the Bureau of Narcotics Investigation unit received information that the group was selling large quantities of cocaine in the WilkesBarre area. Undercover agents raided the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, based in a clubhouse at 115 N. Main St., Ashley. Thousands of calls were intercepted through court-authorize wiretaps that led agents to identify Manchio as the Outlaws’ main cocaine supplier.

LOCAL BEAR KILL

Bruin that wandered through borough earlier this month weighed 660 pounds

Edwardsville ‘visitor’ meets end By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

When state Wildlife Conservation Officer Jerry Kapral saw the black bear that wandered through Edwardsville on Nov. 1, he estimated the large bruin weighed 600 pounds. Turns out he was close. The bear was harvested by a Warrior Run hunter on Monday – the second day of the four-day bear season. Pennsylvania Game Commission officials at the agency’s regional office in Dallas checked the bear and estimated its live weight to be 660 pounds. According to the PGC, the male bruin was harvested by Dale Kobal on Earth Conservancy property in Nanticoke. The bear was identified via tags placed in its ears when it was trapped and relocated by the PGC. It was 7 years

old, according to the agency. Kapral last trapped the bear in October near the K.M. Smith Elementary School in Sheatown, Newport Township. It was released on State Game Lands 57 along the border of Sullivan and Wyoming counties and traveled through Edwardsville as it made its way back toward Nanticoke, Kapral said. “It was killed less than a mile from the school, so it did exactly what we thought it would do,” Kapral said, adding he was happy to see the bear harvested by a hunter. “It eliminates a problem for people, and the bear is utilized by a hunter. It’s a win-win,” he said. The bear was the second largest taken to the Dallas check station as of Tuesday afternoon. PGC biologist Kevin Wenner said the

Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, said the loss of the anchor institution Boback would “severely erode confidence other employers and residents have in a healthy economic future of Shickshinny” and that demolishing the building would “take away from the community a unique structure that should be a target for historic preservation.” SCRANTON

Yuknavich loses out as W-B Twp. council vote reaffirmed Democrat Michael P. Wildes won by eight votes. Recount was first under electronic voting. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A recount of votes for a Wilkes-Barre Township council seat showed no change in winners in the general election, the Luzerne County Bureau of Elections director said Tuesday. Director Len Piazza said after an hour-long recount Tuesday that another tally of votes requested by longtime Councilwoman Mary Yuknavich showed Michael P. Wildes won by eight votes. Yuknavich requested the recount in court papers late last week. Her request was granted Monday by county

Judge William Amesbury. Neither Yuknavich nor her attorney, Bruce Phillips, could be reached for comment Tuesday. Wildes, a councilYuknavich man for the past eight years, said that with the election so close, and his win coming by only eight votes, he expected a recount. “I would have done the same myself,” Wildes said. “It was a pleasure working with Mary. It’s sad to see her go … someone had to win and someone had to lose.” In Yuknavich’s filing, she said 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 bal-

lots. 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...” According to certified election results, Yuknavich, a Republican, garnered 489 votes. Wildes, a Democrat, garnered 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. Piazza said Monday this recount was the first the county has conducted for a municipal race since electronic voting machines were put in place in 2006.

They were sold by Hogan for $789. On Friday, police said they met with Hogan and he told them he was a subcontractor responsible for prep work, which includes laying the padding and track strips down for carpeting to be installed. Hogan said that after he completed that work, he went into another bedroom to begin working and saw a square, wooden box in the closet. He said he noticed jewelry and a gold coin inside the box, and that he took a gold ring with diamonds, a silver ring with a blue stone and a gold, $5 coin that was in a casing so that it can be worn as a necklace. Police said Hogan told them he went to Rainbow Jewelers and sold the two rings and coin, and received $789. He said he used the money to pay for food and bills. Police said Hogan apologized for stealing the items. According to court papers, Hogan pleaded guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor drug-related charge. He was ordered to pay a fine and other costs. In September, Hogan pleaded guilty to a summary charge of criminal mischief and was ordered to pay a fine and other costs, as well as to a public drunkenness charge in October. Hogan is also awaiting trial in Luzerne County Court on driving under the influence charges. Court records indicate he was referred to the Luzerne County Alcohol Highway Safety Program on Nov. 3.

The power of saying ‘thanks’ Giving thanks helps your psychological outlook, the experts say.

G R AT I T U D E T I P S

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Count your blessings this Thanksgiving. It’s good for you. While it seems pretty obvious that gratitude is a positive emotion, psychologists for decades rarely delved into the science of giving thanks. But in the last several years they have, learning in many experiments that it is one of humanity’s most powerful emotions. It makes you happier and can change your attitude about life, like an emotional reset button. Especially in hard times, like these. Beyond proving that being grateful helps you, psychologists also are trying to figure out the brain chemistry behind gratitude and the best ways of showing it. “Oprah was right,” said University of Miami psychology professor Michael McCullough, who has studied people who are asked to be regularly thankful. “When AP FILE PHOTO you are stopping and counting your blessings, you are sort of hi- Frank Gipson prays before having dinner at the 31st annual jacking your emotional system.” Thanksgiving dinner put on by the Orleans Parish Sheriffs Office And he means hijacking it from in New Orleans, La. out of a funk into a good place.

ry harvest stood at 2,709 bears after two days. Last year, 2,542 bears were brought to Game Commission check stations after the first two days. The highest total after the first two days is 2,875 bears in 2005. At the Dallas check station, Wenner reported 107 bears brought in as of Tuesday after-

“Well, we’re taught to always have a look of business as usual,” he said. “Do we smile? Yes, you all make me smile.” Medvec told the students to look to their left and right. He said that in the military, soldiers depend on who is at their side. “It’s a team effort,” he said. “We protect each other; we count on each other.” Students also asked if Medvec ever jumped out of an airplane, if he ever fired a weapon, where does he sleep and eat, does he

like his job. A young boy asked how many die in war. Medvec didn’t have that number, but said as few as possible. Medvec told the class to honor the American flag; to be quiet when the Pledge of Allegiance is being recited. “It’s our flag,” he said. “We have fought for it; for this country. We fought to preserve our freedom so all of you can live a free life and choose every day what you want to do.”

noon, surpassing last year’s mark of 79. In Luzerne County, 46 bears were harvested after the first two days. Kapral said the bear harvested by Kobal was trapped and relocated several times from the Nanticoke area. The bear was feeding from trash receptacles, he said, and likely would’ve been the source of more complaints in the future. “He didn’t get that big eating acorns and blueberries,” Kapral said. “He was putting on 100

pounds a year, which isn’t unusual for a healthy bear in an area with abundant food sources.” Those abundant food sources – mainly Dumpsters and garbage cans -- is likely what drew the bear back to the area after it was released in State Game Lands 57. Wenner wasn’t surprised that the bear returned to the area where it was trapped so quickly. “Bears captured for nuisance reasons oftentimes are back within a week,” Wenner said. “They have a strong desire to get back.”

Psychologists who have studied gratitude give the following tips for giving thanks in a way that improves your emotional wellbeing: ❏ Keep a gratitude journal. Regularly write down at night the good things that happened to you that day or that week. Don’t let this become rote; but put a lot of thought into being grateful when you count your blessings. If it gets to be too routine, vary your schedule and do it only a few times a week. ❏ Put the "you" in "thank you." The personal part of gratitude is what works well. So be more thankful for people and how they help instead of things. When thanking someone, emphasize the person instead of the action. ❏ Think about how you would be without the people close to you and remember that when you are thankful. ❏ Find something that may have gone wrong in your day or your life and think of something good from that time that helped you. Remember how that helped you survive the bad times. ❏ Don’t minimize the power of "you’re welcome." It is important to acknowledge someone thanking you and not slough it off by saying it’s nothing. It is something — that’s why someone thanked you.

someone who had been especially kind to them, but was never thanked. That emotional health boost was large, but it didn’t last over the weeks and months to come. Peterson also asked people to write down nightly three things that went well that day and why that went well. That took longer to show any difference in happiness scores over control groups, but after one month the results were significantly better and they stayed better through six months. “In order to be grateful for something, we have to remember that something good happened,” Peterson said. “It’s important to remind ourselves that the world doesn’t always suck.”

Some postal prices rising

he cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service is raising rates for its more profitable express mail and priority mail shipping next year, part of its efforts to stave off bankruptcy. The new prices take effect Jan. 22 and include the introduction of a new flat rate of $39.95 for express mail boxes, with separate increases for letters. Previously, prices were $13.25 or higher based on package weight and distance. The Post Office said the rate hikes still make its shipping the best value compared to private companies such as UPS and FedEx. The new prices amount to a roughly 5 percent increase. They are in addition to a previously announced 1-cent hike in first-class mail to 45 cents. The independent Postal Regulatory Commission will review the proposed hikes before they take effect.

CAIRO — Egypt’s military leader promised to speed the transition to civilian rule, saying Tuesday that presidential elections will be held by the end of June 2012. But the major concession was immediately rejected by tens of thousands of protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, who responded with chants of “Leave, leave!” now. Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi vowed that landmark parliaTantawi mentary elections will start on schedule on Monday, the first vote since longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak was ousted in an uprising nine months ago. And he said the military was prepared to hold a referendum on immediately transferring power to a civilian authority if people demand it. Tantawi said he has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Essam Sharaf’s civilian government and politicians who attended a 5-hour crisis meeting with the ruling generals said the military intended to replace Sharaf’s cabinet with a “national salvation” government. It was not clear who might head the new Cabinet, but names of a couple presidential hopefuls were mentioned. “Our demands are clear,” said Khaled El-Sayed, a protester from the Youth Rev-

olution Coalition and a candidate in the upcoming parliamentary election. “We want the military council to step down and hand over authority to a national salvation government with full authority.” He also demanded that the commander of the military police and the Interior Minister, who is in charge of the police, be tried for the “horrific crimes” of the past few days, when 29 people were killed in clashes, most of them in Cairo. The standoff culminated four days of clashes and demonstrations around the

country that have constituted the most sustained challenge so far to nine months of military rule. It plunges the country deeper into a crisis that may only hamper the democratic transition the protesters are fighting for. In Tahrir Square, the atmosphere was reminiscent of the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak, with jubilation over the large turnout mixed with the seething anger directed at the military. On Tuesday, the protesters had called for a million people to turn out and drew a massive crowd of tens of thousands.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA

Gadhafi’s son to be tried The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor on Tuesday said Moammar Gadahfi’s captured son and onetime heir apparent can be tried in Libya, provided that international standards are met. ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo was in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, to confer with the country’s transitional leaders about the handling of Seif Islam Gadhafi, who was captured Saturday in the southern Saharan hinterlands and is being held in the western town of Zintan. The international court has charged the younger Gadhafi with crimes against humanity committed during attempts to suppress the uprising that toppled his father, who was slain last month while in the custody of his captors during the fall of his hometown, Sirte. But the country’s transitional leaders want Gadhafi to face justice in Libya. DENVER

Air Force probes standoff The Air Force is investigating how an airman managed to get his own handgun onto a sensitive air base in Colorado where he barricaded himself in a building for 10 hours before surrendering, officials said Tuesday. Nico Cruz Santos, 21, was taken into custody at Schriever Air Force Base at about 8 p.m. Monday, officials said. No injuries were reported. The base controls more than 60 military satellites, including those used for GPS. The Air Force said satellite operations weren’t disrupted. Officials said Santos barricaded himself in a building where personnel prepare for deployment. The satellite control rooms are in a separate, heavily guarded area. SPRINGFIELD, MO.

Apology to disbelievers A Missouri gelato shop owner has apologized for briefly posting a sign in his store window informing those in town for a convention of religious skeptics that they were not welcome at his Christian business. Andy Drennen apologized in a letter posted Monday on the website Reddit. He says he posted the hastily drawn sign in his Springfield shop, Gelato Mio, on Saturday after seeing someone attending Skepticon delivering a mock sermon and cursing the Bible. The sign read: “Skepticism is NOT welcomed to my Christian Business.” Drennen says his response was impulsive and “was completely wrong and unacceptable.”

Students accused in SAT scandal

MINEOLA, N.Y. — Thirteen more current and former high school students from an affluent community on New York’s Long Island were charged Tuesday in a widening college entrance exam cheating scandal, bringing the total to 20. Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said four of the new defendants are accused of taking payments of $500 to $3,600 to stand in for students on SAT or ACT exams. The other nine are accused of paying the alleged impostors to stand in for them. In total, prosecutors allege that 15 high school students got five others to take tests for them. Rice said prosecutors actually suspect 40 students were involved in cheating but the twoyear statute of limitation had expired for many. “Honest hard-working students are taking a back seat to the cheaters,” she said at a news conference. “This is a system begging for security enhancements.” Tuesday’s announcement follows the arrests of seven people in September. The scandal prompted New York State Sen. Kenneth Lavalle to convene a hearing on test security, and a firm run by former FBI Director Louis Freeh was retained to review security on standardized testing procedures.

Debt panel’s failure sets up battle between Obama, Congress Focus of fight on renewing payroll tax cut, jobless benefits for millions. By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The failure of a special deficit-reduction supercommittee sets up a year-end battle between President Barack Obama and a dysfunctional Congress over renewing a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for millions. At the same time, the debt panel’s failure triggers deep, automatic cuts to the Pentagon budget, beginning in 2013, that defense hawks already are dedicated to unwinding. Domestic programs would bear cuts as well. And the panel’s failure puts taxes and out-of-control deficits front and center in next year’s presidential and congressional campaigns. The

election’s outcome is likely to determine whether Bush-era tax cuts that expire in December 2012 will be fully renewed or whether Obama can force Republicans to make concessions on taxes. Obama supports renewing most of the Bush tax cuts but wants to allow tax rates for wealthier earners to go up. “He won’t sign a full extension,” said a senior administration official, requiring anonymity to discuss White House strategy. “We’re going to be in the position at the end of next year where the president is saying: ‘I’m not going to sign a full extension, but send me the middle-class tax cuts.”’ The panel’s failure to reach agreement on how to cut deficits by $1.2 trillion or more over 10 years was not unex- hound lawmakers through pected but grew out of intrac- 2012 elections that could sort table divisions over spending it all out. and taxes that promise to Stock prices plummeted at

Turkey’s prime minister says Assad should step down for good of country and region. The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Turkey’s prime minister said Tuesday that Syria’s president must step down over the country’s crackdown on dissent, ratcheting up the pressure on the increasingly isolated Bashar Assad. Turkey’s call came as Syrian activists reported that five people — including four children — were killed Tuesday. “For the welfare of your own people and the region, just leave that seat,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey said in a televised speech. He reminded Assad of the bloody end of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and those of past dictators, including Adolf Hitler. “If you want to see someone who has fought until death against his own people, just look at Nazi Germany, just look at Hitler, at Mussolini, at Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania,” he said. World leaders are turning on Assad in quick succession. The military crackdown on an 8month-old uprising against Assad’s regime has killed nearly 4,000 people.

Mount Carmel Parish, Dunmore, died on Monday, November 21, 2011. Father Flynn, son of the late John Joseph and Pauline C. Rampe Flynn, was born in Scranton on January 13, 1924. He received his early education at Holy Rosary School in Scranton. He attended the University of Scranton and received his bachelor of art from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, in 1945. Father completed his studies for the priesthood at Saint Peter’s Seminary, London, Ontario, Canada, and was ordained to the priesthood on June 4, 1949, in Saint Peter’s Cathedral, Scranton, by the Most Reverend William J. Hafey, D.D., late Bishop of Scranton.

Gas firm, residents settle suit over line

NUANGOLA

Borough council talks flood relief funds By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NUANGOLA –After a sometimes contentious debate, borough council unanimously voted Monday night to appoint Councilman Joseph Tucker to serve as “mediator” to the Federal Emergency Management Agency in dealing with the federal agency in obtaining whatever federal funding might be available to the borough after flooding in September. The action was taken after Melissa Weber, secretary-treasurer, reiterated that Nuangola, under the flood emergency declared by FEMA encompassing all of Luzerne County, might be eligible for relief funding, even though the borough is not in a flood zone. She originally made that proposal at the October meet-

ing. When it was stated that Mayor Norman Rule and council President Regina Plodwick had previously met with FEMA officials, Councilman John Kochan asked “Where is a list of damages?” When Rule said damages were articulated verbally and nothing as yet had been laid out in writing, Kochan questioned the validity of that and debated that hearsay is that the borough is seeking up to $450,000. Siding with Kochan, Tucker said he thought Nuangola didn’t sustain $10,000 in damage. “I don’t want to be part of anything that’s not truthful and 100 percent honest,” he said. When Weber said FEMA personnel will come in and do an assessment before any funding is earmarked and that it is FEMA

policy is to work with only one specifically designated official, Tucker was nominated and elected. In subsequent discussion, it was submitted that flood damage in the borough is confined to areas of North End Road, 10th Street and the municipal building. There was also debate on borough’s 2012 budget, which led to council scheduling a special meeting on Dec. 2 at 4:30 p.m. to review a spending plan that is being prepared by Kochan, finance and budget chairman. Because the borough has to have a budget

in place by Dec. 31, Plodwick pressed Kochan about the lack of progress. “When I get all the stuff, I can go to work, but that hasn’t happened yet, “ he said. He said he needed financial information from the other department heads, as well as from Weber. When Weber submitted a summary of accounts, which she said was computer generated through Quick Books, Kochan responded that he now had a large part of the information he needed and agreed to a Dec. 2 meeting. Plodwick proposed that adop-

tion be at the monthly public meeting on Dec. 19. Under the threat of legal action, and at the initiative of Tucker, council acted to move the proposed “staging area” for the sanitary sewer system to a location near the recycling center instead of having it at the community recreation area. This action followed a protest by Nuangola resident Ronald Walsh, who argued in a letter authored by attorney Paul Pugliese that water runoff, as well as possible oil and gasoline seepage, presented a threat to his property, which is located adjacent to the recreation site. Tucker concurred that in his view, a threat existed. Council also retained Bonita and Rainey of Plains Township as auditors at a reported cost of $3,050.

Chief Gathering LLC agrees to drop countersuit against residents of development.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Texasbased natural gas company has come to an agreement with Dallas Township residents who sued to stop installation of a pipeline near their properties. As a result, construction of the pipeline will begin early next year, the company said. Chief Gathering LLC, through its spokeswoman Kristi Gittins, said that because an agreement has been reached, the company is withdrawing its counter lawsuit filed in September against the residents, Patrick and Patricia Dougherty, William and Patricia Watkins, Scott and Kelley Watkins, and Jeffrey and Jo Ann Dickson. In Sep- Chief Gathertember, the residents of ing, a subsidiGoodleigh ary of Chief Estates filed Oil and Gas, a lawsuit against Tuu- plans to build la D’Anca, a pipeline who they al- that will carry leged improperly gave gas to the Transco pipepermission to the gas line. company to construct the pipeline on or near their property. Chief filed a counter claim seeking close to $20 million in damages that included the cost of construction delays, permits and lost business. Chief also alleged the families were using the lawsuit to delay and eventually halt the pipeline project. Gittins said Tuesday that with the withdrawal of the company’s lawsuit, the landowners have mutually agreed to withdraw their suit. She said the pipeline project will proceed as planned on the properties, and construction is expected to begin in January. No other details about the agreement were released Tuesday. The residents’ suit said Chief should not be permitted to construct a pipeline because plaintiffs who purchased land from D’Anca were not aware of an existing contract for the pipeline right-of-way. The residents said covenants in the development prohibit underground pipelines. Chief Gathering, a subsidiary of Chief Oil and Gas, plans to build a pipeline that will carry natural gas that will be extracted from wells in Susquehanna County to the large Transco distribution pipeline, connecting at a point near the Dallas School District campus in Dallas Township.

PITTSTON TOWNSHIP

2012 budget comes with temporary tax By JIM MORRISSEY Times Leader Correspondent

PITTSTON TWP – The township’s preliminary $2.1 million budget for 2012 includes no increase in taxes for general fund purposes. However, the supervisors passed a motion to enact a temporary emergency services tax of a quarter mill to raise $83,200 for fire and ambulance vehicles. A mill is a $1tax on every $1,000 of assessed property valuation. The tentative spending plan, which supervisors approved Monday night, includes upgrades to police equipment and a 3.5 percent salary increase for employees, not including supervisors. Township Secretary John Bonita said the supervisors wanted to increase the caliber of emergency equipment. Bonita also told residents that recycling is paying off for the township. The township is reimbursed on tonnage and received a $37,746 recycling grant from the state for 2009. More is expected for 2010 and 2011. Supervisor Ron Marcellini recognized the fire and ambulance departments for doing such an outstanding job for the township. Supervisor Steve Rinaldi requested that Oriole Park close at 6 p.m. daily, effective Nov.1and until March 31. The supervisors approved the motion. Rinaldi said that the move was necessary because of vandalism, darkness and the safety of residents. In new business, supervisors plan to open bids Nov. 30 for contracts for 2012 for trash bags and refuse and recycling services. The township will advertise for the bids. Current service contracts for bags, refuse and recycling will expire on March 31, 2012. Solicitor John Finnerty, reporting updates on the Oak Street and Norman Street railroad crossings, said repairs were made on Oak Street, and Norman Street is in the process of being repaired.

Hazleton leaders propose 10 percent tax increase for 2012 By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

HAZLETON – The proposed 2012 city budget includes a 10 percent increase in taxes for city property owners, city officials said at Monday night’s council meeting. The proposed $4,060,000 spending plan – about $100,000 bigger than this year’s budget – includes an increase in the real estate tax rate from 2.83 mills to 3.23 mills, which would mean about a 10 percent increase for property owners.

Mary Ellen Lieb, director of administration, said the increase amounted to about $20 more annually for the owner of a property assessed at $100,000. The meeting that was generally well attended by city residents centered on a review of income and expenditures by the city government. “We cannot increase our burden on the taxpayer,” said Councilman Jack Mundie, who cast the lone dissenting vote a 3-1 decision. “Many simply do not have enough money to pay

more taxes.” Lieb indicated the budget presented reflected an increase of 24 percent in the area of health care costs, which would be shared between city employees and the city according to union contracts. Mundie also questioned whether recent increases in certain union contracts might result in other unions also requesting increased benefits. Mayor Joseph Yannuzzi responded by saying that “any union can ask for an increase,

but that doesn’t mean that they would necessarily receive it.” Mundie said any increase would burden the taxpayer. He also said that 2012 is the last year that the city will get approximately $600,000 from the mine reclamation project and that this would mean that the citywouldneedtoeitherreduce expenses or increase revenue in the near future. The second reading of the budget is set for Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m. at council’s regular meeting.

Most GOP contenders back Patriot Act extension Ron Paul breaks with field over anti-terrorism law as candidates debate security.

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul of Texas speaks as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney listen at a presidential debate Tuesday in Washington. The debate focused primarily on questions of national security, whereas previous encounters were mostly about the economy.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopefuls spoke up strongly for the anti-terror Patriot Act in campaign debate Tuesday night, saying it should be extended or perhaps strengthened to help identify and capture those who would attack the United States. Only Rep. Ron Paul of Texas among eight presidential hopefuls dissented, arguing that the law is “unpatriotic because it undermines our liberties.” In a debate on national security, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said President Barack Obama has “essentially handed over our investigation of terrorists to the” American Civil Liberties Union. “Our CIA has no ability to investigate,” she said. Bachmann did not cite any examples to buttress either of her claims.

The debate unfolded six weeks to the day before the Iowa caucuses inaugurate the competition for delegates to the Republican National Convention. The venerable DAR Constitution Hall was the site — a few blocks from the White House and as close as most if not all of the GOP hopefuls are likely to get. The Patriot Act is one of the nation’s principal tools in ferreting out terrorist threats but has often provoked dissents from both lib-

erals and conservatives who argue that in the name of national security it erodes constitutional protections. Paul made that point, and said other investigative techniques captured Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Gingrich jumped at that. “That’s the whole point. Timothy McVeigh killed a lot of Americans,” the former House speaker said. “I don’t want a law that says after we lose a major American

city, we’re sure going to come and find you. I want a law that says, you try to take out an American city, we’re going to stop you.” Neither Gingrich nor any other Republican mentioned that Obama, like President George W. Bush before him, signed legislation extending the Patriot Act

last May. In a race that is constantly in flux, Gingrich has emerged as Romney’s principal rival atop the public opinion polls. As he looked around him, he saw other rivals who once held that position — Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and businessman Herman Cain among them. The debate ranged widely over foreign policy issues, but neither the format nor the moderator permitted all eight candidates to answer any one question. That produced a somewhat disjoined event in which there was relatively little back-and-forth among the rivals. Asked if he would support an Israel attack on Iran to prevent the Islamic regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon, Cain said he would want to know what the plan was and have an understanding of its chance of success. Gingrich said he would bomb Iran only as a last resort and with a goal of bringing about the

downfall of the government. There was more disagreement when it came to the war in Afghanistan. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said it was time for the United States to withdraw nearly all its troops. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said top generals disagreed with that and asked Huntsman if he was talking about a withdrawal beginning immediately. “Did you hear what I said?” Huntsman asked across the debate stage, noting that under the Constitution the president is commander in chief. A few moments later, referring to Vietnam, he said a president had listened to the generals in 1967, and the outcome was not in the interests of the United States. Also on the debate stage were businessman Herman Cain and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

Former county prison guard agrees to settle federal lawsuit By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A former Luzerne County prison guard who alleged she was sexually harassed by a supervisor has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit she filed against the prison, according to court records. Angela Sweet of East Main Street, Glen Lyon, filed suit against the prison in March, alleging officials failed to address her complaints that she was being ha-

rassed by Robert Turner, a former lieutenant at the prison. Details of the settlement, which was reached Tuesday, were not immediately available. Sweet alleged Turner, who was fired in July 2008, placed his hands on her shoulder and asked her to participate in a sexual orgy with him and another woman. Sweet said she reported the incident to prison officials, but they took no action. The lawsuit was one of two

suits that were filed against the prison relating to alleged sexual harassment by Turner. The other suit, filed by Leah Beckley of Benton, remains pending in federal court. Turner also filed a federal lawsuit against the prison, alleging prison officials used the sexual harassment allegation against him, which he denies, as an excuse to fire him. He maintains he was actually fired for political reasons. That suit also remains pending.

Employees and local officials want the Scranton facility to stay open and jobs at the Lehigh Valley center moved to Scranton. “Our service is excellent, our delays are nonexistent, and our overtime is minimal,” said Kevin Gallagher, president of the Scranton Local of the American Postal Workers Union. “The closing of this facility could cripple the fragile local economy of Northeastern Pennsylvania,” Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien added. “We should be relocating jobs

from the Lehigh Valley to Scranton, not the other way around.” Tom Gavin, president of National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 17 in Scranton, took aim at a congressionally mandated payment that takes nearly $6 billion of revenue out of the postal service as a reason behind the proposed consolidations. “Yes, the postal service is in financial trouble, but that’s because of a $5.8 billion payment we have to make every year for our future retirees’ benefits,” Gavin said. Postal officials stressed that the proposals are still under review, and that a decision is not expected until late December or January.

If we were a Fortune 500 company, we would be forced to declare bankruptcy.” Scranton facility employees -some of whom previously worked at a similar facility in Wilkes-Barre that was closed in 2009 – turned out in force to defend work that they said is more efficient and cost-effective than that which is done in Allentown.

OTHER OPINION: COLLEGE PROBE

PSU trustees pick right man for role

N TAPPING FORMER FBI Director Louis J. Freeh to head the in-house probe of the Jerry Sandusky child-sex-assault scandal, Pennsylvania State University officials have turned to a veteran investigator with impressive credentials and a national profile. There’s little doubt that Freeh, 61, has the experience and expertise to peel back the layers of the Penn State bureaucracy where – according to a grand jury indictment – a child predator was sheltered from scrutiny for years. Freeh’s charge to “leave no stone unturned” in an internal investigation that will cover a nearly 35-year period is a strong statement that the Penn State trustee committee headed by Merck & Co. boss Ken Frazier intends to expose the scandal’s roots. Can the Freeh investigation satisfy critics in the Penn State faculty senate who, on Friday, rightly questioned the trustees’ EDITORIAL BOARD

ability to offer an objective and fair look at the scandal? That will be determined, in part, by whether the inquiry proves to be truly arm’s-length. Freeh must not allow his former business relationship with Penn State while a credit-card company executive to cloud his ability to conduct an objective probe. One good measure of the effort will be Freeh’s eventual recommendations for policy changes to safeguard students and others against predators, and whether they’re strong enough to reassure the public. At the same time, it’s important that other reviews go forward as planned. First and foremost, authorities need to determine whether there are other alleged abuse victims. Legislators need to toughen reporting laws on suspected abuse and enact measures to give long-ago abuse victims a day in court. The Philadelphia Inquirer

ormer British prime minister Winston Churchill once said: “I’m an optimist. It doesn’t seem much use being anything else.” I’m hoping there are great things ahead for Luzerne County, as January will usher in the first change in county government structure since rocks were soft. Although the past few years have been unsettling for many people, and there are bound to be some glitches moving forward, the new county council seems well-balanced and capable, giving us every reason to remain optimistic. Looking back, it’s important to thank the three sitting commissioners, Maryanne Petrilla in particular, for getting us through the hard times to the threshold of this new beginning. Current county employees deserve our gratitude, too, for their ability to keep calm and carry on – true professionals all. Criticism is one thing there’s unlikely to be a shortage of, at least in the early going. To that end, I’ve decided to refrain, for the foreseeable future, from writing letters to the editor on political topics. This, for two reasons: to make room for newer, smarter voices and to underscore my firm belief that most people in government, elected or appointed, are not in it for themselves. Given the opportunity to perform successfully in the public interest, they will. Rob Burnside Swoyersville

Worker: Holiday policies compromise my religion

work at an area hospital and an email listing the acceptable “neutral seasonal holiday decorations” was sent to employees to make sure they complied with the guidelines. Snowmen, holly, sleighs, etc., are acceptable; but Santa, angels and menorahs are not acceptable. I am a Christian and never had a problem seeing the menorah placed near the large Christmas tree in the hospital lobby to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. I have seen the faces of sick children break into smiles when they heard Santa’s “Ho, ho, ho” and bells jingling as he made his rounds giving each child a small gift. Not any longer – we are not allowed to have Santa as a decoration, as he is a derivative of Saint Nicholas. When my children were in school, the minute of silence in the morning after they saluted the flag was stopped. I am aware of the American Civil Liberties Union and for what it stands. What I would like to know is who will speak for the Christians? Everyone is so worried about offending others, what about our feelings? Why is it OK to take what we hold holy away from us? People came to this country seeking religious freedom. I fear that in years to

come our religious freedom will be so oppressed that it will resemble that period of time that caused our forefathers to seek out a country that would allow them to pray to their own God without reprisal. We used to have a chapel at the hospital where people could pray for their loved ones. It had a crucifix and it simulated a church altar. Not any longer; we now have a spiritual center with a few votive candles, two kneeling benches, a soft whooshing sound resembling a brook, but no cross. How has this happened in this country? People fought for religious freedom and now our religious freedom is being taken away. Who will help us keep our religious beliefs alive? It saddens me to see how so much has been taken from so many by so few and no one seems to care. Before long, Christians will be able to pray only in the confines of their own homes. I am proud of being a Christian and I am very tired of having my religious freedom challenged. Maria Thubbron Nanticoke

There’s no truth to ‘news’ of IBC, Highmark merger

am writing in response to inaccurate information that appeared briefly on The Times Leader’s website; a caption with a photograph of the Independence Blue Cross building falsely stated that IBC plans to merge with Highmark Inc. Nothing could be further from the truth. I want to set the record straight. Nearly five years ago, IBC and Highmark proposed merging, but we withdrew our application for that transaction in 2009. Since then, IBC and Highmark have operated as separate, independent companies, and will continue to do so. IBC is flourishing. We have strengthened performance in our health insurance business, streamlined through technology, and introduced innovative, cost-effective products and services for our customers. At the heart of our strategy to continue to thrive is partnering with other forwardthinking Blue and non-Blue health care leaders. For example, we recently collaborated with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to purchase AmeriHealth Mercy, one of the nation’s five largest Medicaid managed-care companies, and we are evaluating other progressive partnerships. This fall, we proudly introduced the Inde-

Awareness can prevent diabetic eye disease

ith Thanksgiving right around the corner, the thought of what to eat and how much to eat can often create unwanted anxiety for those people struggling with diabetes. Traditionally, Thanksgiving consists of high-fat and high-carbohydrate meals, which can lead to poor control of blood sugar levels. Elevated levels of glucose in the blood, over time, can lead to a number of damaging complications. During this holiday of smorgasbord dining, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Association for the Blind is creating awareness of the leading source of blindness in individuals between the ages of 20 and 74 – diabetic retinopathy. Nearly half of all diabetics have some form of diabetic retinopathy, which occurs when blood vessels to the retina become blocked or leak fluid or blood, causing vision loss. All individuals with diabetes, type 1 and type 2, are at risk for diabetic eye diseases and are more susceptible to them the longer they live with diabetes. In the early stages of diabetes, you might not notice any change in vision, but it can lead to sight-threatening forms of disease if not detected. Anyone experiencing blurry or clouded vision, “floaters” or dark spots in vision, waviness when looking at straight lines (such as flag poles or street lights), difficulty seeing in dim light or tunnel vision should immediately see an eye doctor. Most vision loss due to diabetes can be prevented, but it is vital that it is diagnosed early. Don’t let your diabetes dampen your holiday. Here are a few healthy choices you can make to ensure many more celebrations with your family and friends: Get an annual eye exam that includes dilating the pupils. Lower your blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Don’t smoke. Maintain a healthy diet. And exercise regularly. For more information on how you can protect your vision, contact the Association for the Blind at (570) 693-3555, or visit www.wilkesbarreblind.com.

Report: Ex-official questioned player treatment Former student disciplinarian says PSU football players treated more favorably. The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Former Penn State student disciplinarian Vicky Triponey tells The Wall Street Journal that football players were treated “more favorably than other students accused of violating the community standards as defined by the student code of conduct.” Triponey, who resigned her post as the university’s standards

and conduct officer in 2007, spoke to the newspaper after it obtained a 2005 email from her to then-president Triponey Graham Spanier and others in which Triponey expressed her concerns about the disciplinary process as it pertained to football players. Coach Joe Paterno “is insistent he knows best how to discipline his players ... and their status as a student when they commit violations of our standards should

All four common pleas judges in Centre County, where Penn State is located, removed themselves from potentially presiding over the case and were replaced Tuesday by outside jurists, the Pennsylvania court system announced.

The anti-bullying rally came courtesy of a joint effort by WWE and The Creative Coalition.

NOT be our concern ... and I think he was saying we should treat football players different from other students in this regard,” Triponey wrote in a Aug. 12, 2005, email obtained by the newspaper. “Coach Paterno would rather we NOT inform the public when a football player is found responsible for committing a serious violation of the law and/or our student code,” she wrote in the email, “despite any moral or legal obligation to do so.” Triponey’s email was written the day after a meeting in which Paterno criticized Triponey for

connections” to Sandusky, the university or the charity for at-risk children Sandusky founded. John M. Cleland, a senior judge from McKean County, was appointed to take over the case, though another judge, Kathy A. Morrow, was named to handle matters until Cleland can assume jurisdiction. Cleland chaired the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice, established in the wake of the “kidsfor-cash” courthouse scandal in which Luzerne County judges were accused of sending children to private detention centers for kickbacks. Morrow immediately signed an order to prevent people involved in the case from disclosing the name of an individual described by his lawyers as a victim of and witness to child sexual abuse. The Centre County clerk’s office was told to seal any portion of the record that refers to him by name, and the motion seeking the order was itself sealed. Messages seeking

comment from his lawyers weren’t immediately returned. Also Tuesday, Sandusky’s preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Dec. 13 at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte. It will be handled by an out-of-county jurist, Westmoreland County Senior District Judge Robert E. Scott. Scott replaced the district judge who set bail for Sandusky, Leslie Dutchcot of State College, who had ties to The Second Mile, Sandusky’s charity. If Scott has to make new decisions about bail, they would come in the context of public outrage over the allegations, which include charges that Sandusky found victims among boys being helped by The Second Mile. “The more charges, the more serious it becomes, and of course I’ve heard public outcry that his bail is unsecured and it’s too low,” said Tunkhannock defense attorney Gerald Grimaud, who isn’t involved in the case.

can fight bullying by banding together and being willing to talk to adults, he spent most of his roughly 30 minutes fielding questions from those who admitted they had been victims. Paige Malinoski asked “How bad were you bullied,” and Sheamus lowered his voice. “Pretty bad … Pretty bad.” He paused, then told an unusually hushed crowd of tweens “Bullying hurts. It hurts.” Despite his WWE persona as a tough guy, body-slamming foes, Sheamus stressed the response to bullying is to “talk to a teacher or a trusted adult” and have fellow students “back you up.” Asked if he had fought back in his youth, he admitted “I tried,” but regretted the effort. “Physicality isn’t the right thing to do,” he

said. “Nobody comes out on top.” Malinoski beamed after chatting with her favorite pro wrestler, saying she was sure his appearance would help curb bullying, and showing confidence she can fulfill her dreams. After all, if Sheamus can go from bullied redheaded boy to red-headed wrestler claiming proudly that “I’m bringing the ginger back,” she figures she can be an artist. Reiley voiced equal confidence in his hope of becoming a herpetologist – “That’s the study of lizards” – and that bullying took a hit at the school thanks to Sheamus. “Probably now everyone is going to think ‘If I mess with Reiley, Sheamus will come!’ ” he beamed, evoking laughs from nearby classmates.

Powerball, Cash 5 and Mega Ball, Tom Connell said he would “give it away” if he won the jackpot. Why? “Because money complicates your life and it’s the root of all evil,” said Connell, 59, of Exeter. “I have no use for the money. I would give it away to the hungry and the sick.” Margo Harvey, 46, of Shavertown, said she would “share it with everybody” if she won the jackpot. “I would help family and friends and probably organizations to help children,” said Harvey, who played The Daily Number, Big 4 and Cash 5.

Asked if there was nothing she’d buy for herself, Harvey gave it a moment’s thought. “Probably a new house,” she said. Jeff Murphy’s plans were a bit more ambitious. “I would probably take the cash, take care of the family and then give $1 million to those people trying to lower our taxes or eliminate them,” the 52-year-old Wyoming resident said. “Those poor buggers up in Lackawanna County are going to go through hell next year. The whole economy’s crummy,” he said. Murphy added two more items to his wishful plans.

In a response to her note, Athletic Director Tim Curley wrote Paterno felt “it should be his call if someone should practice and play in athletics.” In a statement Monday to the Journal Triponey said: “There were numerous meetings and discussions about specific and pending student discipline cases that involved football players,” which included “demands” to adjust the process for players resulting in them being treated “more favorably than other students accused of violating the community

standards as defined by the student code of conduct.” Triponey’s comments come as Penn State is reeling in the aftermath of criminal charges filed this month against Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach accused of molesting eight boys over a 15-year period. Paterno and Spanier were ousted from their jobs in the wake of the scandal. Curley was indicted for perjury in the case and has been placed on administrative leave. He has denied any wrongdoing. Paterno’s lawyer, Wick Sollers, told the Journal through a

Until the preliminary hearing, prosecutors can seek to have bail modified by the district judge, said Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin. After that hearing, bail changes would have to be pursued by a county court petition, he said. An attorney general’s office spokesman declined to comment on the Centre County judges’ recusal or about potential new charges against Sandusky. The scandal has resulted in the ouster of Penn State President Graham Spanier and head football coach Joe Paterno and has cast a dark shadow over one of college football’s most legendary programs. Athletic Director Tim Curley has been placed on leave, and Vice President Gary Schultz, who oversaw the university’s police department, has stepped down. Schultz and Curley are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to properly report suspected abuse to authorities. Like Sandusky, they have denied the allegations.

spokesman that “the allegations that have been described are out of context, misleading and filled with inaccuracies. ... Penn State’s record of producing successful student athletes under coach Paterno’s guidance is unquestioned.” Spanier didn’t respond to the Journal’s requests for comment, and a Penn State spokesman also declined to comment to the newspaper. A representative for Curley told the newspaper that “he tried to make sure all student athletes were treated equally with regard to the code of conduct.”

PITTSBURGH—Calls to the state’s child abuse hotline soared right after the Penn State child sex abuse scandal broke and then started to drop back. Butexpertsworrythatthe existing system may not be up to handling even normal demands. In Pennsylvania, there are usually about 460 calls to a child abuse hotline per day, or 2,300 per fiveday week, state Department Public Welfare spokeswoman Carey Miller said. Calls jumped to almost 1,000 per day after the news of abuse allegations against former Penn State

assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, she said. There were 4,832 calls for the week of Nov. 5-11. Then the number dropped to 2,866 the following week. Yet the hotline, called ChildLine, already had staffing and technology problems even before the Penn State scandal, said Cathleen Palm, executive director of the Protect Our Children Committee. She worries about whether those investigating the calls have the proper training and whether the increase has more to do with Penn State than concern about child abuse.

However, this year proceeds collected from ticket sales and the gamebook advertising will benefit the flood victims of the Wyoming Valley. Last Year: The West defeated the East 42-7. The 35-point margin of victory was the largest in the game since 1957 when the West won 39-0. The 42 points were the most scored by a team in the game, which was first played in 1952. Last Year’s MVP: Tunkhannock running back Mike Baldwin, who rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries.

ed to elation in the California sun. The 28-year-old Braun shared the news with his brother and girlfriend, who were at the house. He called his parents, then rang good friend Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, and exchanged text messages with Kemp, the runner-up. “This really is a dream,” Braun said. “This is beyond my wildest dreams to be in this position at this point in my career.” Kemp earned 10 first-place

NEW YORK — Ryan Braun sat alone on a balcony in his Malibu home that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, uneasy about his chances of winning the NL Most Valuable Player award. With the season Los Angeles’ Matt Kemp had, he wasn’t sure the call would come at all. The phone rang all right, and Braun has been smiling ever since. Braun was voted the NL MVP after helping the Mil-

waukee Brewers win their first division title in nearly 30 years. “I’m not going to pretend like I wasn’t anxious or nervous because I was,” Braun said. “It’s honestly difficult to put into words how much this means to me.” The left fielder received 20 of 32 first-place votes and 388 points in voting announced Tuesday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. A nerve-racking morning that began with a solitary drive turn- See BRAUN, Page 6B

Halfway through Tuesday’s practice at Coal Street, Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins head coach John Hynes blew UP NEXT his whistle Syracuse and brought Crunch things to an at abrupt halt. WBS Penguins For the 7:05 p.m. next two today minutes, he directed a hard stare at his players while the rink stood silent. Then, without mincing words, Hynes pointed out that while the veterans on the team showed up to practice and work hard, the players that didn’t will find themselves in Wheeling if they don’t pick it up. Hynes wasn’t only referring to Tuesday’s practice, but last weekend when the Penguins dropped three straight games during a swing through New England. Center Bryan Lerg said the team needed the wakeup call from its coach. “You have to be doing what he wants. You can’t just come in and have one good day and then the next day just go through the motions,” Lerg said. “You’re not going to get away with that here. It can be frustrating at times but you have to be a big boy and work through it because, at the end of the day, it’s about winning.” The Penguins hope to put an end to their three-game skid when they host the Syracuse Crunch tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena. On Tuesday, Hynes ran the team through a lengthy practice full of competition drills, puck battles, different line combinations and a bit of a hard talk. It was more about getting his players ready to play mentally, he said. “We have to be better and be more detailed. It’s not different than any other day,” Hynes said. “We just have to get better performances from a lot of the guys.” Hynes indicated there could be several lineup changes for tonight’s game. Alexandre Picard returned from Pittsburgh on Tuesday to add another defenseman to the mix, for starters. “We don’t like the results we’ve had,” Hynes said. “We have a lot of guys that can play and are hunSee PENGUINS, Page 4B

Rookie was top local runner at D2, WVC meets

DeLuca dominates By JIMMY FISHER For The Times Leader

Chris Ehret

Dallas The senior placed 97th overall at the PIAA Class 3A Championships, breaking the tape in a time of 17:21. Ehret placed fifth overall at the District 2 Class 3A Meet in 17:14. He was also third overall at the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet with a time of 16:54.

Jacob Fetterman

Hazleton Area The junior was 73rd overall at the PIAA state meet, finishing in 17:07. He qualified for states by finishing eighth overall in the District 2 Class 3A meet with a time of 17:23. At the WVC Coaches Meet in Meshoppen, Fetterman was sixth in a time of 17:12.

Mitchell Ford

Holy Redeemer The junior placed 44th overall at state Class 2A championship meet in Hershey with a time of 17:29. He finished third overall at the District 2 Class 2A Meet in a time of 17:25. He was seventh, with a time of 17:20, at the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet.

DALLAS --- Not many first-year runners can say that they’ve accomplished as much in one season as Dominic DeLuca has. Dominic DeLuca, a sophomore at Dallas High School, added one more accomplishment, as he has been named The Times Leader MVP for boys cross country this season. A first-year runner, DeLuca already has accomplished much in such a short career. “As a first-year runner I felt I did really well.” DeLuca said. “My teammates pushed me and I was happy with my end results.” DeLuca’s end results involved participating in the PIAA State Meet in Hershey earlier this month, placing in the mid-40s overall. His 48th place finish, in 16:51, was the third sub-17minute time in three postseason meets. While his states place finish may not be what one would expect, to get there DeLuca finished first overall in the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet in a time of 16:37. He also placed third overall in the District 2 Class 3A Meet in 16:53. Both the District 2 and Coaches meets gave DeLuca a bit of an advantage, for he sees his strength as a runner being his abilities as a hill runner. “Districts was one of my best races of the year.” DeLuca said. “That course fit me well because there were a lot of hills.” The Coaches Meet was an exceptional effort as well. DeLuca fell on the first hill of the race in Meshoppen, but was able to regain his feet – and his pace – to win the race by six seconds. The sophomore was also honored by coaches from the Wyoming Valley Conference during the postseason, as he was named to the Division II boys first team. After a season with so much accomplished, DeLuca knows that there is always room for improvement for next season. “I want to improve my 800-meters for each race.” he said. “I would also like to work on getting my stamina back up.” DeLuca is not a one-sport student, for he also participates in golf, and with the track and field squad in the spring. He also participates in soccer and golf as hobbies outside of the competitive environment of varsity sports. With all of these activities going on, how does a high school sophomore manage his time? DeLuca knows exactly how to.

Vinay Murthy

Holy Redeemer The sophomore placed 41st overall at the state Class 2A meet in a time of 17:27. He placed fourth overall at the District 2 Championships in a time of 17:37. Murthy also finished 11th overall at the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet with a time of 17:39.

Jake Siegel

Tunkhannock The senior finished 47th overall at states in a time of 16:50. He also placed fourth overall in the District 2 Class 3A meet, crossing the finish line in 17:02. Siegel was fifth at the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet, finishing in 17:03.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Dominic DeLuca finishes first in the boys race at the Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Meet on Oct. 18 in Meshoppen.

“I play soccer outside of school,” DeLuca said. “I participate in cross country and golf in school, and I get my homework done in between practices. Golf, I like to stick to it in the summer also. It’s more of a recreational thing.” When he’s not doing schoolwork or sports, DeLuca likes to be a normal high school teenager and hang out with his friends. He also likes to play

his Xbox, or sometimes grab a book to read. Multi-sport athletes run in the DeLuca family, for Dominic’s younger brothers also participate in various sports as well. His brother Anthony, an eighth grader, plays soccer, basketball, baseball, and he also wrestles. Nico, a seventh grade, also like to play soccer, basketball and baseball.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Irish hoping to get a little bit of Luck The Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly yells to his team during the second half against the Boston College in South Bend, Ind., on Saturday. Notre Dame defeated Boston College 16-14.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly knows bottling up Stanford’s offense is unlikely. He just wants his defense to keep points off the board so the 22nd-ranked Fighting Irish don’t have to play from behind. That will be the challenge Saturday when Notre Dame visits No. 4 Stanford, taking on a Cardinal attack led by quarterback Andrew Luck that is averaging 45 points per game. “We know they’re going to get their yardage, they’re going to run the football, they’re an outstanding football team, they’re well coached,” Kelly said. “But keep the points down and give us an opportunity offensively to run our offense and not get into a state where we have to play catch up. Anybody that’s got to play a lot of catch up against them is in for a tough day.” Most teams have been playing from behind against Stanford (10-1), which has trailed in only three games all season. Kelly said the Irish (8-3) need to limit Stan-

ford on early downs to get Luck into passing situations. “It’s a matter of us doing a really good job in play-action and knowing when he’s going to throw it. Putting him in those positions when he has to throw the football is the most important thing,” Kelly said. “First and second down are very crucial for us.” Getting the ball back from the Stanford offense as soon as possible will help the Irish offense dictate the flow of the game. However, the Cardinal offense has only had 10 three-and-outs all season. In the past few weeks, Kelly has occasionally employed a defensive look that has no defensive linemen in a three-point stance. This is done in hopes of causing confusion among the offensive line and running backs on which players they’re responsible for in pass protection, Kelly said. Kelly doesn’t think his defense

can confuse Luck, praising the quarterback’s poise under pressure. A strong running attack averaging 209 yards per game supports Luck and prevents him from facing difficult down-anddistance situations. When Luck does see pressure, Kelly said he still tends to make the right decisions. “He has the ability to make the throws when he’s under duress as well,” Kelly said. “To have that you’ve got to have the skill, but you also have to have the utmost confidence in your ability, and he has all of those intrinsic things necessary to be a great quarterback.” Defensive coordinator Bob Diaco said Stanford has a number of offensive units that are as good or better than any the Irish have faced, mentioning the line, tight ends and running backs. And then there’s their Heisman candidate quarterback. “He’s the driver out there and gets them in the right plays and makes the right reads,” Diaco said. “He’s going to find your little

void area and the receivers and him are in coordination nicely. ... He’s got a strong, accurate arm that can make all the throws. He’s a special player.” Senior safety and captain Harrison Smith said Stanford’s offense is similar to an option attack in that the Cardinal keep running their plays, hoping you make a mistake. “Our unit on defense, everybody fills their role and does their job,” Smith said. “I think when you turn on the tape and watch Stanford you’ll see a lot of teams doing that for most of the game, but then there will be however many plays where one guy’s out of his fit or one guy’s not reading his key and they’ll gash you.” Last year, Stanford defeated the Irish 37-14 in South Bend, shoving the Irish around most of the game. Kelly believes his team has developed since then and is better able to handle a team like Stanford. When the Cardinal bring an extra tight end or offensive lineman into the game, the Irish will rely on their base personnel to match up.

Andre Dawkins added 14 points and the Blue Devils hit 11 of 21 3-pointers while shooting 56 percent overall to earn a spot in Wednesday night’s title game against the winner between No. 14 Kansas and UCLA. Michigan (4-1) struggled early, falling behind by 16, and fought its way back by hitting 21 of 34 shots in the second half. The Wolverines never made it all the way back, unable to slow down the sureshooting Blue Devils to slip into the third-place game.

South Carolina 61, Mississippi Valley State 57 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Malik Cooke scored 18 points and spearheaded a late rally as South Carolina escaped the upset bid of Mississippi Valley State with a victory.

The Gamecocks trailed by 11 points with just over six minutes remaining but closed the game on a 22-7 run to avoid losing their third straight to a smaller conference foe. Eric Smith gave South Carolina (2-2) the lead for good on a jumper with just less than two minutes remaining to help South Carolina snap a twogame losing streak. Cooke scored 12 of his 18 points during that span, including South Carolina’s final seven points.

Mitchell has winner in Kings’ victory over Blues

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Mike Richards had a goal and an assist, and Willie Mitchell scored the winner on his first goal of the season to help the Los Angeles Kings slip past the St. Louis Blues 3-2 Tuesday night. The Kings got a team-leading 10th goal from Anze Kopitar, and Jonathan Bernier stopped 23 shots in only his fourth start of the season as the Kings won in St. Louis for only the third time in 11 tries. Alex Steen and Vladimir Sobotka scored for the Blues,

who only lost for the second time in regulation in 10 home games. Jaroslav Halak stopped 25 shots.

Maple Leafs 7, Lightning 1 TAMPA, Fla. — Tyler Bozak scored two goals and added an assist and Tim Connolly had a goal and two assists to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Clarke MacArthur, Joe Colborne, Joffrey Lupul and Joey Crabbe also scored for the Maple Leafs, who had lost four of

five. Vincent Lecavalier scored for Tampa Bay, which has lost four of five. Toronto went ahead 3-1 when Connolly (17:56) and Bozak (19:22) scored first-period power-play goals. Connolly scored after Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman received a four-minute penalty after his high-stick struck MacArthur in the face. Bozak and Lupul scored 1:21 apart early in third as Toronto took a 6-1 lead. Crabbe had a goal later in the period. Lupul has two goals and five

assists during a four-game point streak. Oilers 6, Predators 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jordan Eberle had two goals and an assist and Shawn Horcoff scored twice to send the Edmonton Oilers to a victory over the Nashville Predators. Ales Hemsky and Jeff Petry also scored, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Ryan Smyth each added a pair of assists and Devan Dubnyk made 30 saves for Edmonton.

King’s Quinones named All-American The Times Leader staff

CHANDLER, Ariz. – Meyers alum Jenera Quinones received second-team AllAmerican honors from the National Field Hockey Coaches Association, officials announced Tuesday. The King’s senior becomes the first field hockey player in school history to claim All-American honors. The Wilkes-Barre native was a three-time All-Freedom Conference selection, and the 2010 and 2011 Freedom Conference Player of the Year. In addition, she was selected to the 2009, 2010, and 2011 NFHCA South Atlantic AllRegional Team, becoming the first player in the history of the program to earn three all-region berths. She capped her outstanding career with a spectacular senior year, repeating as Freedom Conference scoring champion with a career highs of 56 points on 22 goals and 12 assists. Quinones easily outdistanced fellow All-American Yvonne Herbstern, of Eastern, the conference’s second leading scorer, by 19 points, despite playing three less games. With 12 assists in her senior year, Quinones set a new Monarchs’ single-season record. Her 56 points rank as the fourth-highest season total in school history. In addition, Quinones wrapped up her career with 157 points – good for second on King’s all-time list. Her 63 goals and 31 assists are also second in King’s history.

Lerg said the game has extra meaning after dropping three in a row on the road. “It’s a statement game. Sunday (a 3-1 loss at Worcester) was a test for our team and we didn’t ante up.

Hynes said he will be back in the lineup tonight. Alexandre Picard will also be ready to play after arriving back from Pittsburgh on Tuesday. - D Boris Valabik practiced in full but won’t be ready to play this week, Hynes said.

Parcells, Bettis are among 26 Hall semifinalists The Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio — Former coach Bill Parcells, running backs Jerome Bettis and Curtis Martin and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue are among 26 modern-era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The list was announced Tuesday by the Hall of Fame following a vote by its selection committee, which chose the group from a list of 105 preliminary nominees. Kansas City Chiefs guard Will Shields is the only firstyear eligible player to make the list. Parcells also is considered a first-year candidate under new requirements that were put in place in 2008, after he had been a nominee in 2001, 2002 and 2003. The new rule makes it mandatory for coaches, like players, to be retired for five consecutive seasons. Before that, coaches were eligible immediately upon retirement. Parcells won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants in 1987 and 1991, then coached the Patriots and Jets before retiring in 1999. He returned to coach the Cowboys in 2003. Among other semifinalists for the Class of 2012 are wide receivers Tim Brown, Cris Carter and Andre Reed, along with former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. Bettis ranks fifth on the NFL rushing list with 13,662 yards in 13 seasons, three for the Rams and a decade with the Steelers, with whom he won the 2006 Super Bowl in

Harbaughs proud coaching parents

By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jack Harbaugh has watched his sons go at it for nearly five decades. From pounding football games on their bedroom floor to timed races up the stairs from the basement and many, many bumps and bruises in between. That’s why he sees no need to be there in person for Thursday’s matchup — an NFL first — between brothers John and Jim Harbaugh when the coaches face off from opposite sidelines with their division-leading teams. Jack and Jackie Harbaugh plan to swing by the stadium for a quick visit and photo with their sons, then go to John’s house to watch the game on TV — in private. All they want to do is allow the stage to be John and Jim’s, Jack said. The love of competition was bred into the brothers. Sons of a football coach, living room couches were rearranged so they could dive over the coffee table and use cushions for tackling practice. Coat hangers were bent to become basketball hoops and yarn transformed into home-

special tripleheader? Consider: —The six teams are 42-18, which translates to a .700 winning percentage. The last time the holiday’s NFL participants boasted that strong a combined win-loss record was 1975 (also .700). —It’s the first Thanksgiving since 1998 — when there were only two games — that each club in action won its previous game. —The Packers are the first unbeaten team to play on the fourth Thursday in November since the 1962 Packers also were 10-0, before losing to Detroit. Including the playoffs, Green Bay has won its last 16 games in a row. —San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh will match wits with his older brother, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, in a game for family bragging rights — and with significant playoff-seeding implications. —Even the game that was shaping up as a dud, Miami at Dallas, now becomes worth watching, because the Dolphins are the only team in NFL history to go from 0-7 to 3-7 and present a real challenge to the recently resurgent Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo (who, by the way, is 18-2 with 49 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions for his career in November). Give the Lions credit for helping boost the anticipation for this year’s Thanksgiving games, because they sure deserve a lot of the blame for the holiday’s NFL blandness of late. “Heck, there even was talk about moving that game out of Detroit — I thought it was sacrilegious talk — because Detroit hadn’t been very competitive on those days on national TV. So the thinking was, ‘Hey, let’s spread it around to other cities,”’ said NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci, who coached the Lions from 2003-05. Only two other times in the past 50 years — yes, 50 years! — did the Lions arrive at Thanksgiving at 7-3, in 1993 and 1969. You have to go all the way back to 1962 to find them with a better record (8-2) at this point in the season.

We should have made some T-shirts, too. I think it’s really cool.” Aside from the game, there’s another special moment the family will celebrate: Jack and Jackie’s 50th wedding anniversary on Friday. Everything has come together in one special, whirlwind week for this sportscrazed family.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Five more years of labor peace for MLB

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and union head Michael Weiner smiled and exchanged handshakes while others in the room dug into knishes and pigs in a blanket. Not exactly the kind of scene that played out in sports labor talks this year. Baseball ensured itself of 21 consecutive years of peace at a time the NBA season might be canceled because of a lockout and the NFL still is recovering from its CBA negotiations. “We’ve learned,” Selig said Tuesday after players and owners signed an agreement for a fiveyear contract running until December 2016. “Nobody back in the ’70s, ’80s and the early ’90s, 1994, would ever believe that we would have 21 years of labor peace.” The agreement makes MLB the first pro major league in North America to conduct blood tests for human growth hormone, allowing it during spring training and future offseasons but for now only studying whether it will be implemented during

in the playoffs.” Nonetheless, the East is championing on with a group that has less skill stars but will be very good in the trenches. Hummer has three of his linemen at his disposal – Anthony Dennis, Tyler Edwards and 6foot-7, 300-pound Martin Steve. Coughlin’s John Karazia (6-3, 305) and Crestwood’s Tony Morgante (6-4, 295) are considered two of the best in the Wyoming Valley Conference. The East will miss not having GAR’s multi-threat quarterback Darrell Crawford, but its two signal-callers are very good ones. Crestwood’s Nick Aigeldinger started four years and led the WVC in yards per attempt and touchdown percentage. Hazleton Area’s Chad Hoffman is a dual threat as a runner and thrower. Coughlin’s Joe Parsnik, who led WVC Division 3A in rushing, is the top back available. Nanticoke’s Brian Maslowski also topped 1,000 yards this season. There is also a strong contingent of players from Crestwood at every skill spot. Hummer also spoke highly of a couple players – Holy Redeemer’s David Gawlas and Hazleton Area’s Yousef Guzman. Gawlas played just about every skill position for a winless Redeemer team. Guzman has impressed the coach as a linebacker. “They’re a fun bunch of players, I can tell you that. And talented,” Hummer said. “I was talking to a couple other guys that you tell them one time what you want and they remember it from then on. It’s a pretty unique situation. “Theoretically, we all run the

against Sandusky in 1998 and 2002. But with the university’s image crumbling, it figures to be tough for anyone with previous ties to the program to be picked to lead the team for 2012 and beyond. Though he likely faces long odds to earn that position, Bradley won’t be backing down. “I’m not concerned about what other people think,” said Bradley, who was named interim coach when Joe Paterno was fired Nov. 9. “I’m worried about what our administration thinks and what the people that are going to make that decision think.” Though Penn State is forming a search committee to discuss potential candidates for the permanent job, the final decision will be made between university president Rod Erickson and acting

the regular season. “MLB and the players union should be applauded for taking the strong step to implement the HGH test at the major league level to protect clean athletes,” said Travis Tygart, chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. “This is great progress in MLB’s effort to protect the integrity of baseball at every level.” The deal, which must be ratified by both sides and drafted into a formal contract, expands the playoffs from eight to 10 teams by 2013, lessens draft-pick compensation for free agents, expands salary arbitration by a few players and for the first time allows teams to trade some draft selections. It also adds unprecedented restraints on signing bonuses for amateur players coming to the major leagues from high school, college and overseas, perhaps hurting MLB as it competes with the NFL and NBA for multisport talent. “If I’ve got a great athlete, why am I going to go to baseball? I’m going to focus on the other sports,” said agent Scott Boras, who has negotiated baseball’s

highest signing bonuses. Following eight work stoppages from 1972-95, baseball reached its third consecutive agreement without an interruption of play. The agreement was signed three weeks before the current deal was to expire Dec. 11, the second straight time the sides reached a deal early. Baseball seems to have learned the lessons of the 1994-95 strike, which wiped out the World Series for the first time in nine decades. “I think our history is more important than what’s happening in other sports,” said Michael Weiner, who took over from Donald Fehr as union head last year. “It took a while for the owners to appreciate that the union is not only

athletic director Dave Joyner. Joyner said Saturday he would have no objection to hiring someone who is currently on staff or had been in the past. “Whoever is the best person is going to get the job,” Joyner said. “People that know me know I’m going to do the right thing, no matter what it is. … It’s more about what’s inside the person than what’s going on outside.” One possible candidate with Penn State ties, Miami coach Al Golden, said Tuesday on the ACC coaches teleconference that he would not be leaving the Hurricanes. “The (Penn State) question has been posed the last couple of weeks, and as I’ve said over and over again, I’m happy here,” said Golden, a former tight end, captain and assistant coach for the Lions. “I’m excited about what we’re doing with our program. I’m excited about the recruiting class that we’re putting together, and clearly excited about what

our team has done. “I believe I’m going to be the head coach of Miami in 2012. That’s correct.” Penn State closes out the regular season Saturday at Wisconsin. The winner will earn the Leaders Division title and advance to the inaugural Big Ten championship game against Michigan State on Dec. 3 in Indianapolis. Regardless of how things work out the rest of the way for the Lions, Bradley said he wants to make the most out his time at the helm. “I only worry about the things I can control,” Bradley said. “And right now I’m worried about making sure I do the best job for these players. “So if I don’t end up getting the job, I can look back and say I gave everything I had to help those guys win a championship. And someday down the road, no matter how many years down the road, they’ll say, ‘Hey – Coach worked for us until the end.’ ”

here to stay, but that the union and its members can contribute positively to a discussion about the game — about its economics, about the nature of the competition, about how it’s marketed in every way.” Owners hope the changes will lessen the difference in spending by high- and low-revenue teams, much as the payroll luxury tax that began after the 2002 season. “We feel that competitive balance is crucial to the product that we put on the field,” said Rob Manfred, MLB’s executive vice president for labor relations. “Every time I took a proposal back to the commissioner, his bellwether on whether that proposal was good, bad or indifferent is what it did for competitive balance.”

votes and 332 points after coming close to winning the first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Braun’s teammate Prince Fielder finished third with 229 points, and Arizona’s Justin Upton finished fourth with 214 points. Fielder and Upton each received one first-place vote. St. Louis’ Albert Pujols finished fifth. It was the 11th straight year the three-time MVP was in the top 10 in balloting. NL Cy Young Award winner Los Angeles’ Clayton Kershaw was 12th in the voting a day after Detroit’s Justin Verlander added the AL MVP to his Cy Young. “I think he was the single most dominant player in baseball this year,” Braun said of Verlander. “As a position player I’m biased to the fact that I think position players should be at the forefront of the award, but if you honestly look at what he accomplished, how much he meant to that team and how dominant he truly was you cannot make any argument against him winning that award.” In his fifth year in the big leagues, Braun led the NL with a .597 slugging percentage and had a chance to overtake Jose Reyes for the batting title on the last day of the season but finished second with a .332 average. The four-time All-Star had

this weekend. “I didn’t play my normal self,” Still said. “I felt I was productive but not as far as statswise. I was dealing with the flu, but I decided to play through that because I knew my presence on the team would help.” That it did. With Still and Hill forcing double teams throughout the game, it opened up things up for middle linebacker Glenn Carson, who finished with a career-high 11 tackles and forced a second-half fumble that the Nittany Lions recovered. Still, a senior captain for the Lions, remains tied for first in the Big Ten in solo tackles for loss (15.0) and is tied for third overall in the conference (16.5). He also has 53 tackles, four sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on the season. “He’s been playing great,” interim coach Tom Bradley said. “But I’m going to remember him and thank him for his great leadership off the field with the players, the way he’s handled the team, the way he’s been tak-

ARLINGTON, Texas — Backto-back AL championships got the Texas Rangers another prize in veteran Joe Nathan. The Rangers’ new closer was formally introduced by the team on Tuesday, his 37th birthday, with a $14.5 million, two-year deal that includes an option for a third season. Nathan said knowing what kind of team the Rangers have and their recent success were significant factors in his decision. A meeting with team officials, including team president and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, also helped. With the acquisition of the four-time All-Star closer who spent the last eight years in Minnesota, the Rangers will move hard-throwing right-hander Neftali Feliz to the rotation. Feliz was primarily a starter in the minor leagues. “Not always do we get to announce one move that impacts the bullpen, the rotation and also the clubhouse, and strengthens all three,” general manager Jon Daniels said. “What we talked about if we were going to

move Neftali to the rotation, we wanted a big-time guy at the back end, and we feel really good that we’ve accom-

plished that.” Moving Feliz to the rotation would help offset the loss of free agent C.J. Wilson if the lefthanded starter signs elsewhere. Nathan has worn No. 36 throughout his 11 seasons in the major leagues, the same number Wilson has worn with the Rangers. The Rangers presented Nathan with a No. 63 jersey Tuesday. Nathan will get $7 million for each of the next two seasons. There is a $9 million option for 2014. Nathan missed the 2010 season following Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow and struggled to find his form with Minnesota this year. He went 2-1 with a 4.84 ERA and 14 saves in 48 appearances. In 581 major league games, Nathan has a 48-23 record with a 2.87 ERA and 261 saves.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS Lead the league in slugging (.597), on-base plus slugging (.994) and extra-base hits (77) Second in batting average (.332) and runs (109) Fourth in RBIs (111) and sixth in home runs (33) Seventh in stolen bases (33) SOURCE: Major League Baseball

33 homers, 111 RBIs, 109 runs scored and stole 33 bases as Milwaukee won a franchise-best 96 games. His 77 extra-base hits was tops in the league. Kemp led the NL with 39 homers, 126 RBIs and was third in average (.324), but played for the NL West’s third-place Dodgers. He also won a Gold Glove. “Matt’s one of the best players in the game. No question about it. The season he had will go down as one of the greatest in Dodgers history,” said Braun, who grew up in California rooting for the Dodgers. “If he had won the MVP I certainly couldn’t have argued with him winning. He had a phenomenal year.” Although Braun and Kemp had similar statistics, Kemp was hindered by the Dodgers’ 82-79

third-place finish in the NL West. The Brewers won the NL Central title, their first division crown since winning the AL East in 1982. “Without a doubt I think it’s a drastically different experience playing meaningful games down the stretch,” said Braun, the 2007 NL Rookie of the Year. Braun, in fact, was convinced the Brewers’ first-place finish is what put him over the top with voters. “If you honestly assess both of our seasons individually I think his numbers are probably better than mine, and I just feel fortunate to have been on the better team,” Braun said. “It’s an individual award, but it’s a result of being part of a special team, a special organization.”

ing those guys under his wing and making sure that everybody does the right thing. “And what happens is nobody gets to see that side of it. They just see him on the field. He spends a lot of time in that locker room off the field communicating, making sure we’re on the right page.” In the 16-year existence of the Bednarik Award, Penn State players have won four times – LaVar Arrington (1999), Paul Posluszny (2005, 2006) and Dan Connor (2007). Mike Reid (1969) is the only Penn State player to win the Outland. The school has never had a Nagurski winner. “It’s a great accomplishment to me,” Still said of being a finalist for the three awards. “It means everything. Ever since I’ve been here I’ve seen other guys who’ve won these types of awards. I stayed focused on it, and it paid off.” Wisconsin, famed for producing plenty of tough offensive linemen, could be shorthanded against Still on Saturday. Starting center Peter Konz suffered a dislocated ankle two weeks ago and likely won’t be available. The Badgers started Ryan Groy at center last week

against Illinois but struggled and switched over to left guard. Groy or Travis Frederick would start against Penn State if Konz remains out. “Still does jump out” on film, Badgers coach Bret Bielema said. “They use him in a variety of different fashions. He’s a big guy that can move extremely well. He’s got a very quick first step. I always admire that in defensive linemen, how fast they can penetrate the line of scrimmage.” Infirmary report While Still said he is 100 percent for the Wisconsin game, Silas Redd still isn’t back to that point yet. The tailback is still recovering from a sprained SC joint suffered against Nebraska. Though he played vs. Ohio State, he had just eight carries and was on the field for just 14 plays. As was the case last week, Redd will be held out of contact drills in practice to keep him in better shape for Saturday’s game. “We plan on not hitting him again this week,” Bradley said. “We will not hit Silas again this week. Hopefully we can get him healed up a little bit.”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

No changes on horizon in WVC All members will remain in their current classifications for the next two seasons. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

All Wyoming Valley Conference football teams will remain at the same classifications for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The PIAA sent letters to all schools this week indicating what classifications their teams in all sports will be for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. The closest call in football was for Northwest, which remained in Class A by landing right on the 185 male enrollment cutoff point between Class A and 2A. There was speculation that Lake-Lehman and Wyoming Area might move from 2A to 3A in

football with the addition of male students they send to West Side Tech. Once Tech dropped all its sports programs, those students get figured into the enrollment numbers of their sending schools, where they can play sports if desired. However, neither was affected. The WVC classifications for the next two football seasons will be: Class A: Northwest. Class 2A: GAR, Hanover Area, Holy Redeemer, Lake-Lehman, Meyers, Nanticoke and Wyoming Area. Class 3A: Berwick, Coughlin, Crestwood, Dallas, Pittston Area and Tunkhannock. Class 4A: Hazleton Area, Williamsport and Wyoming Valley West. The only District 2 team changing classification was Wal-

lenpaupack from the Lackawanna Conference. The Buckhorns will play at 3A after being 4A the past two seasons. Schools have until Dec. 16 to inform the PIAA if any of their sports teams desire to play at a higher classification. Teams can voluntarily move up in classification, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move down. About a dozen schools played higher than their PIAA classification during the 2010 and 2011 football seasons. However, they were all involved in cooperative agreements with another high school where they combined to form a team. Susquehanna in the Lackawanna Conference has a co-operative agreement with Blue Ridge in football. Montrose, also from the Lackawanna Conference, will do the same with Elk Lake in time for next season.

Edwards runs into MU history Mansfield grad student Brenae Edwards (Hazleton Area) finished eighth in the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships last Saturday in Spokane, Wash., to earn All-American honors. Edwards covered the 6k course in 21:32.6. The meet took place in freezing temperatures on a snow-covered course. It was the best finish for a Mansfield women’s runner in history and the third All-American honor for Edwards, who finished seventh in the indoor 5k last winter and fifth in the 5k outdoors in 2010. “I was really nervous coming into the race because of the weather forecast,” she said. “I’m extremely happy with the result.” BIG SEASON FOR WIGNOT – Sophomore Monica Wignot (Holy Redeemer) is wrapping up a solid season with the Pittsburgh women’s volleyball team. The 6-foot-2 outside hitter is second on the team in kills (354), service aces (42) and points (414.0). She also has 204 digs and 31 blocks. The Panthers are 18-13 after losing 3-1 to Louisville in the first round of the Big East Tournament. The team will wrap up the season in the Aztec Turkey Time Tournament this Saturday and Sunday in San Diego, Calif. HONOR FOR BIERBACH – Senior Ray Bierbach (Northwest) was named to the Middle Atlantic Conference first team after a standout season with the Lycoming football team. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound defensive back finished with 33 tackles, five interceptions, five pass breakups and a forced fumble to help the Warriors post an 8-2 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the MAC.

Federer easily rolls over Nadal By CAROLINE CHEESE AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Roger Federer raced to one of his easiest wins over rival Rafael Nadal on Tuesday, routing the Spaniard 6-3, 6-0 to earn a semifinal berth at the ATP World Tour Finals. From 3-2 in the first set, Federer ran away with it and not even Nadal’s trademark defensive abilities could handle the pace and accuracy of the 16-time Grand Slam champion’s forehand. The 26th match between the former No. 1s was over in exactly 1 hour. Federer finished with 28 winners to Nadal’s four. “I’ve definitely seen Rafa play better, but I’ve also definitely played worse,” Federer said in an interview on court. With one match to play in Group B, Federer is assured of a place in the semifinals as he targets a record sixth title at the season-ending event. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga earlier kept alive his hopes of reaching the last four by beating Mardy Fish of the United States 7-6 (4), 6-1. Federer’s win means Fish cannot advance. The winner of the match between Tsonga and Nadal will claim the other semifinal place from Group B. The 30-year-old Federer extended his winning streak to 14 matches following titles in Basel and Paris in the run-up to the ATP Finals. He underlined his status as the top player in London with a dominating performance against Nadal, who lost 10 of the last 11 games. Federer trails 17-9 in the headto-head series, but has won all four of their matches indoors. “Clay goes his way,” Federer said. “At least I have one surface that goes my way.”

Netflix shares pounded

The latest sell-off came after Netflix Inc. raised $400 million by taking on more debt and selling more stock. That move intensified concerns about the public relations and competitive pressures facing the video subscription service. Netflix shares dropped by $4.02, or 5.4 percent, to $70.45. It sagged as low as $69 earlier in the session. That’s the lowest it’s been since March 2010. Netflix shares have been in free fall since the company angered subscribers by raising its U.S. prices by as much as 60 percent. Shares hit a peak of nearly $305 a share around the same time that the higher prices were announced in July.

$950M Merck settlement

The Department of Justice says Merck will pay $950 million to resolve investigations into its marketing of the painkiller Vioxx. The agency says Merck will pay $321.6 million in criminal fines and $628.4 million as a civil settlement agreement. It will also plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge that it marketed Vioxx as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis before getting Food and Drug Administration approval. Merck stopped selling Vioxx in 2004 after evidence showed the drug doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke. In 2007 the company paid $4.85 billion to settle around 50,000 Vioxx-related lawsuits.

Ed Vnuk, seen here in his Plymouth sporting goods store, is retiring and the store is closing for good on Saturday.

Sport-JES is closing By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH – After 30 years, SportJES Sporting Goods Store in Plymouth is shutting down. Ed Vnuk, the 68-year-old owner of the store and the man who conceived Plymouth’s Kielbasi Festival, is retiring. The store’s last day of business will be Saturday. Fleet Decal and Graphics, operated by Vnuk’s three sons – Eddie, Mark and Brian – will expand its operation into the Sport-JES space. Vnuk, a former industrial engineer at Lady Manhattan in Scranton, will become “a snowbird” – splitting his retirement between Pennsylvania and Florida. He serves as president of Fleet Decal, but will phase out of that role as well. “We had a good run,” Vnuk said. “We

GDP growth lowered

The U.S. economy grew at a slower pace than originally estimated in the third quarter, mainly because companies reduced inventories and did not invest as much. The Commerce Department cut its calculation of gross domestic product to 2.0 percent growth in the July-toSeptember period from an initial reading of 2.5 percent.

Jobless rates fall in states

Unemployment rates fell in threequarters of U.S. states last month. The Labor Department says unemployment rates fell in 36 states in October and rose in only five. Rates were unchanged in nine states. That’s the best showing since April, when rates fell in 39 states. Pennsylvania’s jobless rate fell to 8.1 percent in October. The national rate was 9 percent.

PARADISE TWP. – Since it opened for business in Oct. 22, 2007, Mount Airy Casino Resort has received state approval to reduce its slot machine complement by nearly 18 percent. With state gaming board approval Tuesday to cut another 200 machines from its gaming floor, the Monroe County casino will soon rank near the bottom of the state’s 10 operating casinos in terms of number of units. In its application to the board, Mount Airy attorneys argued that the reduction in slot machines will not reduce tax revenue but will save the casino money

Street. They moved to a larger store on East Main Street shortly after, then to their current site – the former Home Furniture Store – a few years later. Vnuk and his late wife, Barbara – who died in 2003 – kept the store going. Vnuk also got involved with the community. He was a founding member of Plymouth Alive – a group of business people who work to improve the business climate in the borough. The Kielbasi Festival is held the last Friday and Saturday in August. Vnuk said times have changed. There aren’t as many Little League teams or softball teams around. Merchandise with logos of sports teams is found in the big chain stores and at lower prices. “There aren’t as many kids involved in athletics,” Vnuk said. “They prefer to play video games and stay inside.”

were the first store to carry NFL merchandise, everything from lamps to jerseys to jackets. And we were known as the Notre Dame bookstore of the east.” Vnuk said people would come from all over to purchase Notre Dame and Penn State clothing and gift items. Vnuk and two of his friends – Jerry Mullery Sr. and Steve Gavrish – decided to open the store in 1982. Mullery has since died and Gavrish decided to leave the business years ago. “I got tired of going to Old Forge to buy sporting goods for my Teeners’ League team,” Vnuk said. “It seemed all teams from Wyoming Valley were going up there.” So Vnuk got a catalog from Empire Sporting Goods and started taking orders. He, Mullery and Gavrish then opened a small store on West Main

WASHINGTON — Bank earnings rose over the summer to their highest level in more than four years, while the number of troubled banks fell for the second straight quarter, federal regulators reported Tuesday. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said the banking industry earned $35.3 billion in the JulySeptember quarter. That’s up from $23.8 billion in the same period last year. More than 60 percent of banks reported improved earnings. The better earnings and fewer troubled banks suggest that the industry is steadily improving from the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. “Bank balance sheets are stronger in a number of ways, and the industry is generally profitable, but the recovery is by no means complete,” said Martin Gruenberg, FDIC’s acting chairman. The FDIC also said there were 844 banks on its confidential “problem” list in the quarter, or roughly11.5 percent of all federally insured banks. That was down from 865 the April-June period, which was first quarter in five years to show a decline. Banks with assets exceeding $10 billion drove the bulk of the earnings growth. They made up 1.4 percent of all banks but accounted for about $29.8 billion of the industry’s earnings in the third quarter. FDIC officials say the bulk of the gains were because banks, especially credit card companies, set aside less money for potential losses. In the July-September period, banks put aside $18.6 billion. That’s the lowest amount in four years.

Rainfall totals from last night range from 1” to 2” in most places and with a cold front passing through this morning, the steady rain is ending. Scattered showers and drizzle will linger into the afternoon and northerly winds will turn gusty, sending in much colder air tonight. Clearing early tonight will lead the way for a very sunny day on Thursday and on Friday. Indeed a remarkable improvement after today! The weather will remain dry through Saturday and possibly even Sunday with a warming trend. Wet and windy weather could return Monday and Tuesday. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER THOMAS COOK RAMADA HOTEL

A stuffing that’s both sweet, savory THANKSGIVING,

though it can be overwhelming for the household chef, is a holiday on which families get together to enjoy each other’s company and eat various types of food. Traditional dishes such as turkey, potatoes, vegetables and, of course, stuffing, can all be part of a memorable meal. Stuffing is a dish that can be used to literally stuff the bird, or it can be roasted in a baking dish to be savored by itself for its wonderful flavors. Like any dish, you can prepare stuffing with different seasonings, meats, nuts or fruits. I personally enjoy stuffing with sausage, bacon, chestnuts and apples. This combination of ingredients boasts a flavor that is both sweet and savory. •••

Dave Fetch Jr. holds rings of smoked kielbasa, a.k.a. kielbassi, destined for sale in his shop in Wyoming.

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

mbiebel@timesleader.com

hile millions of Americans are thinking turkey, talking turkey and eating turkey this week, some local folks are making room on their tables for a garlicky, specialty meat. “I’ll get two rings for Thanksgiving,” said Pauline Yankay of Pittston, who intends to complement her potatoes, corn and turkey with kielbasa from her favorite sausage maker, Dave Fetch Jr. of Fetch’s Kielbassi Market in Wyoming.

“Turkey without kielbasa? No way!” said Fetch, whose store proudly displays the trophy and “Kielbasa King” banner he won for first place in the smoked division of the 2011 Plymouth Kielbasa Festival competition. Throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, makers of the Eastern European-style treat have been getting in gear for a rush of business that starts before Thanksgiving. “We’ll be going 20 hours a day” in December, said Fetch, who estimates his shop will sell between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds of kielbasa before the end of the year. “We’ll be here until 4 or 4:30 in the morning and come back at 8:30.” When the holidays roll around, Brenda

Sepelyak of Komensky’s Market in Duryea said, “We’re talking tons” of kielbasa. One reason, she said, is because people come from out of the area “and get some for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.” When tradition-hungry visitors return to their hometown, after all, it could be their only chance to stock up on a year’s supply. Orders of 30 or 40 rings of kielbasa are not uncommon, said Michael Ell of Park Market in Nanticoke. If you want a large quantity, it’s best to place an order. Komensky’s, for example, takes orders of 20 rings or more; Fetch’s takes orders of 10 rings or more. At Park Market in Nanticoke, you can order even smaller quantities.

IF YOU GO Ready for some kielbasa shopping? Here are some local experts to consult. ••• Fetch’s Kielbassi Market, 180 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming. 570-693-3069. ••• Bosak’s Choice Meats, 524 Burke Bypass, Olyphant. 570-383-5260. ••• Komensky’s, 412 Main St., Duryea. 570-4573261. ••• Park Market, 30 E. Broad St., Nanticoke. 735-2400. ••• Leonard’s Kielbasa Market, 64 Kado St., Wilkes-Barre. 822-4406.

SAUSAGE, BACON, CHESTNUT AND APPLE STUFFING Ingredients: 1 loaf Italian bread 2 eggs 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped, or 2 tablespoons ground sage 1/2 tablespoon poultry seasoning 1/4 pound butter 4 ounces onions, finely chopped 2 stalks celery, cut lengthwise, then chopped 1/8 inch thick 2 cans (14.5 ounce each) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 Granny Smith or Roma apple, cored, cut into 8 wedges, then chopped 1/4 inch thick 4 ounces bacon, finely chopped 1 pound pan-searing sweet sausage 9 ounces chestnuts Yield: 10-12 servings ••• Pre-heat oven to 375. If using pre-packaged chestnuts, lay them on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until lightly brown. If using fresh chestnuts, cut 1⁄2 inch into the shell, make sure the chestnut is sturdy while on the surface. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. Let cool and peel when soft. Fry sausage and bacon in sauté pan until crisp and brown, then add butter, onions, celery and apples. Cook on medium heat for an extra five minutes. Pour mixture from sauté pan over bread cubes and let cool for five minutes. Add slightly beaten eggs, sage , poultry seasoning and chicken broth. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, uncover and bake 5 to 10 minutes if desired.

And if you only want a few rings, you can always just stop by. Perhaps speaking for many customers, an Exeter woman named Georgeann said she appreciates family businesses that make kielbasa from scratch and smoke it with cherry or hickory wood. “A small-town butcher is what I love,” she said as Fetch dished out a container of coleslaw for her last week. “They get to know you personally, and they give you what you want.” AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Add some sweetness to Thanksgiving By JOE BONWICH St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Versatile. Nutritious. Sweet! The versatile sweet potato can show up from soup to nuts — or at least in a nutty dessert — during your Thanksgiving meal. For the soup, elegant Sweet Potato Chowder is one of ’scape restaurant chef Eric Kelly’s signature dishes. Instead of traditional biscuits, try Sweet Potato Biscuits. A Sweet Potato Puff is a fluffy, showy side dish, and Southern Sweet Potato Pecan Bread-Pudding Pie is a

decadent dessert. Winter Vegetable Stew can do double-duty as a side dish and as an entree when vegetarians are among the guests. (Thicken it with cornstarch instead of a butter-flour mix, and the stew will also please vegans.) Although the sweet potato is used in many similar ways to “regular” potatoes, it isn’t a potato at all — it belongs to a different botanical family. And although it’s often called a yam, especially in the South, true yams are botanically distinct. Microwaving is an easy shortcut if you want to shorten the cooking time for whole sweet

potatoes, but we’ve found that baking them results in better caramelization and sweetness. In either case, cook until a syrupy liquid starts to ooze from under the skin. And don’t limit your use of sweet potatoes to the holiday season. All year round, they’re remarkably nutritious, high in vitamin C and extremely high in vitamin A. They’re also antioxidant-rich, a good source of fiber and have anti-inflammatory and blood-sugar-regulating properties. •••

Yield: about 16 biscuits 2 medium sweet potatoes 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 1/3 cup low-fat or whole milk 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake or microwave the potatoes until soft and tender, about 45 minutes in the oven or about 10 minutes in the microwave. 2. When potatoes are cool enough to touch, peel, then mash until smooth with an old-fashioned potato masher or in a food proc-

Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough ¾ inch thick.

Pumpkin pie for 100 calories and less than a gram of fat? Believe it By ROCCO DiSPIRITO For The Associated Press

No matter how stuffed we feel after Thanksgiving dinner, we still feel compelled to wrap up with a slice of pumpkin pie. Trouble is one slice packs tons of extra fat and calories. I came up with a healthier version: just 100 calories and less than 1 gram of fat per slice. You’ll be surprised at how great just a few healthy substitutions taste. Stevia, agave syrup and coconut nectar stand in for sugar. Nonfat Greek-style yogurt subs for whole milk. Gelatin thickens the pie filling and the “whipped cream.” The bulk of the calories and fat in pies comes from the crust. I’ve used sheets of stacked phyllo dough, which eliminates most

of the fat and makes a great crispy, crunchy crust. About the “whipped cream” — Gelatin mixed with fat-free milk, stevia and coconut nectar helps the mixture truly whip. There’s zero fat and very few calories. ••• PUMPKIN PIE WITH WHIPPED CREAM Start to finish: 45 minutes (plus 4 hours chilling) Servings: 10 For the pie: Butter-flavored cooking spray 6 sheets (14-by-9-inch sheets) frozen phyllo dough, thawed 1/4 cup cold water 1 envelope unflavored gelatin powder 2 3/4 cups canned pumpkin (one-and-a-half 15-ounce cans) 1 cup fat-free plain Greek-style

POTATO Continued from Page 3C

baked or microwaved until soft 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 3 large eggs, separated 1/3 cup heavy cream Kosher or sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 2-quart gratin dish or smaller souffle dishes. 2. Peel the sweet potatoes and mash them coarsely with a fork in a mixing bowl. Add thyme, vinegar, egg yolks, cream and salt and pepper to taste. Beat until well combined. 3. In another bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt to stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the sweet-potato mixture gently but thoroughly; spoon into the baking dish or dishes. Bake about 30 minutes (22 to 25 minutes for smaller dishes), until puffed but set and golden in spots. 4. For the best presentation, serve immediately; puff will deflate slightly as it cools.

••• SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO PECAN BREAD-PUDDING PIE Yield: 8 servings For the crust:

yogurt 1/4 cup agave syrup 4 packets stevia sweetener powder 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt For the whipped cream: 1 cup fat-free milk, divided 1 1/8 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder 1/2 tablespoon coconut nectar 3 packets stevia sweetener 1 vanilla bean, split Heat the oven to 350. Coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray. Unroll the phyllo dough, then cover with plastic wrap. Lay 1 sheet of the phyllo on counter. Lightly mist it with cooking spray. Set a second sheet of phyllo over the first, rotating it slightly. Mist the second sheet of phyllo, then repeat this process with remaining phyllo sheets, rotating each time a sheet is added. Mist the final sheet of phyllo. 8 ounces challah, brioche or other similar fluffy, thick bread, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg For the filling: 12 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2/3 cup granulated sugar 4 large eggs 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons bourbon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup pecans, chopped For the topping: 1/2 cup heavy cream 3 tablespoons turbinado or dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1. Make the crust. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bread slices directly on the oven rack and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer slices to a plate. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. 2. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Microwave butter in a shallow dish until melted, about 2

Rocco DiSpirito’s pumpkin pie can be made a day in advance. Use a knife to carefully trim the stack of phyllo into a 12-inch circle. Discard the scraps. Carefully lift the stack and set into the prepared pie dish, gently pressing the phyllo against the bottom and sides of the dish. Bake the phyllo crust for 10 to 12 minutes or until it is lightly browned and crisp. Set aside to cool while preparing the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the minutes. Combine 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg in a second dish. Coat one side of toast with melted butter, then dredge the buttered side in the sugar mixture. 3. Arrange toast, sugared side down, in the bottom of the pie plate. The top crusts should point up to create a decorative edge. Trim and gently pack the slices so that no open spaces remain. 4. Make the filling. Combine potatoes and ¼ cup water in a microwavable bowl. Cover and microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a food processor. Add 2/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, cream cheese and salt. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. 5. Transfer sweet-potato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in milk, ½ cup cream, bourbon and vanilla. Pour mixture into bread-lined pie plate, smooth the top and sprinkle with pecans. 6. Bake until center is set and pie is golden brown on top, 60 to 70 minutes. Let pie cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. 7. Make the topping. Whip ½ cup cream with turbinado sugar and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg in a large bowl with an electric mixture on medium-low speed until frothy, about 1

cold water and envelope of gelatin. Set aside for 5 minutes. Set the saucepan over medium and heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin, yogurt, agave, 4 packets of stevia, pumpkin-pie spice, vanilla extract and salt. Stir in the gelatin mixture, mixing well. Pour pie filling into the cooled phyllo crust. Chill in fridge 4 to 6 hours before serving. When ready to serve, prepare the whipped cream. In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of milk and the gelatin. Set aside for 5 minutes. In a small saucepan over medium, combine the remaining milk, coconut nectar and 3 packets of stevia. With the tip of a small knife, slice open the vanilla bean, then scrape the seeds into the pot. Discard the vanilla pod. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the nectar. Add the gelatin

mixture to the hot milk and whisk to dissolve. Pour the mixture into a medium stainless-steel bowl or into the bowl of a stand mixer. Place a larger bowl half-filled with ice water beneath the bowl of milk mixture (if using a stand mixer, put small zip-close bags of ice around the bottom of the mixer bowl). Beat the milk mixture with the whisk attachment on high for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened to a whipped cream consistency. The volume of the mixture will grow as it cools and whips. To serve, cut the pie into 10 wedges. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the whipped cream over each.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2011 PAGE 9C

Young couple considering sex should first explore their feelings Dear Abby: I’m a freshman in college and have the sweetest boyfriend in the world. We’ve always been close and trusted each other, never pushing the other

too far. Last weekend, though, things got a little heavy between us. We stopped before anything happened, but I felt dirty afterward. As I thought about it, I realized that, to me, it had seemed OK that our relationship was starting to take a more intimate turn. I don’t know how to bring up the “sex talk” with him without seeming desperate or like I’m rushing things. What should I do? — Needs to Know in Virginia

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Needs To Know: If this is the first time you and a young man have gotten “a little heavy,” then it’s not surprising that you felt conflicted, depending upon how you were raised to think about premarital relations. However, because you have now progressed to the point of physical intimacy, it is important that you and your boyfriend talk about last weekend and what may happen in the future. Share your feelings and ask how HE feels about what happened and what he would like to happen going forward. That’s not desperate or rushing things — that is communication.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: A few weeks ago, my wife returned from a business meeting out of town. After unpacking, she took a bath. I happened into the bathroom just as she finished drying off. When she saw me, she grabbed a towel and held it over her shoulder and breast, but not before I spotted a hickey and bruise on her chest. When I asked her about the hickey, she said she had no idea what had caused it. After that, she refused to discuss the matter. Yesterday she agreed to take a polygraph test, but how do we go about arranging one? Your thoughts? —Troubled Husband in Texas Dear Troubled Husband: If your marriage is on such thin ice that you need a lie detector test to determine

CRYPTOQUOTE

if your wife is telling the truth, you may need the services of a family law specialist. You asked my opinion, and here it is: From my perspective, you and your wife could benefit more from some truth sessions with a marriage counselor than with a polygraph examiner. However, one way to find a polygraph examiner would be to Google “polygraph examiners in Texas.” Another would be to consult an attorney about a referral. And now, Dear Readers, allow me to again share the traditional Thanksgiving Prayer that was penned by my dear mother, Pauline Phillips. No Thanksgiving would be complete for me without it: Oh, Heavenly Father, We thank Thee for food and re-

member the hungry. We thank Thee for health and remember the sick. We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved. May these remembrances stir us to service, That Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, everyone! — Love, Abby

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your desire to attain a personal goal is strong and growing. If you want something badly enough, you’ll do what it takes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your confidence wavers. It’s understandable. No one can be 100 percent all of the time. When you feel uncertain about your abilities, don’t let it show. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like a pesky child on a car trip who asks, “Are we there yet?” Learning new skills takes time. Start down the path and stay determined. You’ll be there when you get there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll put yourself out there and get a mixed bag of results. The statistics will be confusing. Whether the action was a success or a failure can only be determined by you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know how you feel at any given time. Your high emotional intelligence will allow you to maintain your personal integrity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Cleanup is a creative process. It gives you control over more than just your immediate environment. You’ll eliminate the excess so that you can focus your attention on the most important elements. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been settling for less attention and respect than you deserve. Your sharp intuition will now pull you toward situations in which your talents are needed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll learn most from someone who tunes in to what you’re doing and gives you extremely specific

advice. Those who try to lump you in with the crowd won’t be able to get to the heart of what you need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You realize that you can delegate the tasks that eat away your time without challenging you. Once you focus on what you want, you’ll get something even better than that. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes it’s the little things that provoke a big reaction. You’ll add sparkling details to your work that excite people and get them talking about you in a favorable way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll experience many different emotional tones today. Your real brilliance will be your ability to bring yourself back to a peaceful state of mind regardless of what happens to rattle your Zen. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In some way, you are learning to walk again. Missteps are still steps. They are actions that seem to zig and zag or move you backward instead of forward — but this still can be considered progress. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 23). Your cosmic birthday gift is a sign from the universe that you are on the right track. You’ll appreciate the lifestyle upgrade that comes in December. In 2012, you try a new approach with loved ones and finally get the tenderness and respect you deserve. There’s a professional breakthrough in May. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 22, 40 and 31.

LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS November 23, 2011 County of Luzerne c/o Office of Community Development 54 West Union Street Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711 (570) 824-7214 (570) 693-3800 (570) 459-1814 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the County of Luzerne. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about December 9, 2011 the County of Luzerne will submit a request to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships Programs Funds under TITLE II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as the St. Hedwig’s Veterans Village Apartments. A portion of the project involves demolition to the rectory and convent for adequate parking spaces. The school will then be converted into 12 apartments, four two bedroom apartments and eight single bed apartments to home homeless veterans and their families. Project is located in Kingston Borough, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Total estimated project costs are $2,000,000. Of that amount, $400,000 is HOME allocation monies. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The County of Luzerne has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Luzerne County Office of Community Development, 54 West Union Street, Wilkes-Barre PA 18711, and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the County of Luzerne at the Luzerne County Office of Community Development, 54 West Union Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. All comments received by December 8, 2011 will be considered by the County of Luzerne prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The County of Luzerne certifies to HUD that Maryanne C. Petrilla, in her capacity as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the County of Luzerne, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the County of Luzerne to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will consider objections to its release of funds and the County of Luzerne’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later), only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the County of Luzerne; (b) the County of Luzerne has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient, or other participants in the development process, have committed funds, incurred costs, or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD, Director, Office of Community Planning and Development at its Pennsylvania State Office Building, 100 Penn Square East, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 191073380. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Maryanne C.
