Barletta backs tax cut, rips Obama WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta said Tuesday he supports extending the Social Security payroll tax cut into 2012, but criticized President Obama’s visit to Scranton today as playing politics with the issue. Obama is to make a pitch for the payroll tax cut extension during his speech this afternoon at Scranton High School.

SYRACUSE 84 E. MICHIGAN 48

Barletta, a Republican from Hazleton, said keeping the payroll tax low for another year is a good idea because “I Obama believe that money is better staying in the pockets of American citizens than it is in the coffers of the federal government.”

But Barletta said Obama would be better served by staying in Washington and working with Senate Democrats to pass “some of the 20-plus job-creating bills that we in the House passed, and that are now sitting in the Senate. The people of Scranton would rather have a job than a visit, especially a visit at taxpayers’ ex-

pense,” Barletta said. Senate Democrats plan to hold a vote this week on the payroll tax cut extension. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., unSee BARLETTA, Page 12A

Robbery victim says W-B not safe

Most recent victim of string of robberies says she was held up at knifepoint at ATM. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Jude Arnone was the most recent victim of a string of reported robberies and attempted robberies in the area. After being threatened with a knife near an automatic teller machine on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre, she feels the area is getting too dangerous to visit even

during the day. “I think people need to know it’s not safe there,” Arnone, of WilkesBarre, said Tuesday about an incident she told police happened Monday night in the 400 block of South Main Street. While the police report and, as a result, the blotter item run in The Times Leader on Tuesday said Arnone was walking near 406 S. Main St. when approached by a young man who tried to steal her purse, Arnone said she was at the ATM at Bank of America. “I had my card in the machine,” Arnone said. “He approached me

“He approached me from behind and pulled out a knife. I struggled, but he pushed me to the ground. He stood there with a knife in his hands and said ‘I am going to kill you if you don’t give me that purse.’ That’s when I gave it to him.” Jude Arnone Wilkes-Barre

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2011

Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Hazleton are among19 communities throughout the state that would be authorized to install red-light cameras under legislation recently passed by the state Senate. The use of the cameras, which snag errant drivers by capturing an image of their license plates as they drive through a red signal, has been highly controversial. Proponents cite various stud-

ies that have shown the cameras reduce red-light violations and resulting side-impact crashes. Opponents cite other studies that show the cameras increase rear-end collisions. There’s also concern that drivers who receive a citation in the mail are robbed of their due process rights since they can’t confront a camera in court, and communities are employing the devices more as a means to raise revenue than to promote traffic safety. Two area legislators are split in their opinion of the bill and the Wilkes-Barre city administration is waiting for more information before deciding whether to install cameras if the bill is approved.

The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, was approved in the Senate by a 35-14 vote in October and is now before a committee in the state House of Representatives. Bill particulars The bill permits third-class cities with populations of at least 18,000 to install the cameras at select locations, which must be approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, voted for the bill, while Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER Township, opposed it.

PSU accuser’s lawyer rips defense Lawyer for alleged abuse victim says tactic puts alleged victims, rather than Sandusky, on trial.

H E A R I N G S F O R C U R L E Y, S C H U L T Z D E L A Y E D

By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A newly hired lawyer for a high school student described by prosecutors as a sexual abuse victim of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky said Tuesday that he has been distressed to hear Sandusky’s attorney dispute the charges. Slade McLaughlin said his client stands by the allegations and sees the strategy by defense attorney Joe Amendola as putting victims on trial instead of Sandusky. The grand jury report, issued Nov. 5 when Sandusky was charged with 40 criminal counts, accused Sandusky of fondling and repeated instances of abuse after they met about five years ago through The Second Mile, a charity for disadvantaged youths Sandusky founded. “I can only say it was emotionally devastating,” said McLaughlin, who also represents the boy’s mother. “It was someone he trusted. It was someone he believed had his best interests at heart. What’s even more distressing to him and his family is Sandusky’s lawyer is out there saying Victim No. 1 is a

liar; he’s made all this up.” Amendola, who did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday, said last week that Sandusky has maintained his innocence and that he has information leading him to conclude he may be innocent. “We’re ready to refute all eight charges in the original presentment,” Amendola has said. “We have evidence to refute all of those.” Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing eight boys over a period of 15 years and faces charges that include involuntary deviate sexual intercourse,

aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault. The case has also led to the departure under pressure of Penn State President Graham Spanier, and the firing of longtime head football coach Joe Paterno. McLaughlin said Amendola’s tactics reminded him of a defense lawyer in a rape case saying the woman “wanted it.” “The proof is going to come out strong and hard, and these people are going to eat their words,” McLaughlin said. He said that Amendola’s comments were not appropriate and that they may be an effort to

LCTA saves big bucks on health care By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

It took more than a 15-minute phone call, but the agency that runs public buses in Luzerne County saved a bundle by switching insurance companies. The Luzerne County Transportation Authority board on Tuesday voted to switch from Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania to Geisinger Health Plan, a move authority Executive Director Stanley Strelish said would save nearly a quarter-million dollars over the next 12 months. Strelish said Blue Cross would have raised the premium for the authority’s First Priority health Staying with plan by 26 perBlue Cross cent upon a Dec. 1 renewal, would have and Blue Cross cost the auwouldn’t budge thority about on the premium hike. $101,730 per Strelish said month to he contacted cover all 65 Geisinger, and company repreemployees; sentatives coverage made presentaunder Geistions on their inger will cost offerings. He about $81,257 said the unions agreed to the per month, a change because savings of it was equal to or better than about the Blue Cross $245,680 plan, a stipulaover 12 tion in the union contract. months. Staying with Blue Cross would have cost the authority about $101,730 per month to cover all 65 employees; coverage under Geisinger will cost about $81,257 per month, a savings of about $245,680 over 12 months. The board also voted to retain Fidelity Bank for all of the authority’s accounts. Three banks responded to requests for proposals, and Fidelity’s 0.5-percent interest rate for checking accounts was the best. In other business, Strelish told the board that this October’s ridership was higher than last October’s by about 2,000 passengers and that paid riders have been steadily increasing over the past five months – a phenomenon he expects to continue because of high gasoline prices. Operations Supervisor Robb Henderson said Luzerne/Wyoming Counties Area Agency on Aging will distribute applications for free bus riding privileges to all area senior citizen centers and will return completed applications to the authority to make the process easier on seniors. Valerie Kepner, of the Public Transportation Advisory Council, asked that a bulletin board be

placed in the James F. Conahan Intermodal Transportation Center as an additional means of alerting bus riders to schedule changes and other transit news. Strelish said it was a great idea and that he would ask for WilkesBarre Mayor Tom Leighton’s OK, as the city owns the center.

Kepner also told the board that because of a recent bus schedule change, a Luzerne County Community College student now has a two-hour layover. She said the council would be happy to try to alert riders to future planned changes and gather feedback.

Court hearings have been delayed for two Penn State administrators charged with lying to a grand jury investigating child sex abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Athletic director Tim Curley is on administrative leave, while Gary Schultz has retired as a vice presi-

dent. They also each face a count of failing to report an allegation involving Sandusky in 2002 to authorities. The Dauphin County Court Administrator’s office said Tuesday the preliminary hearings have been pushed back 10 days to Dec. 16 in Harrisburg. No reason was given for the delay.

influence potential jurors in favor of Sandusky. “I frankly think a lot of his comments have been incendiary,” McLaughlin said. “I think they have been harmful and hurtful to a lot of the victims.” The boy recently changed schools; at his previous high school he was bullied, received threats and did not receive sufficient support, McLaughlin said. The boy and his mother have been overwhelmed with calls from reporters and hired him and another attorney, in part, to help them cope with the media pressure. He declined to go into detail about the family’s home life. The school was closed Tuesday and administrators did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. The grand jury report said Sandusky hosted the boy overnight at his home in State College, took him to restaurants, church and a pool, and gave him gifts that included golf clubs, a computer and cash. Jurors said physical contact began as “back-cracking” and progressed to back rubs and kisses before Sandusky molested him more than 20 times during 2007 and 2008. Sandusky was a volunteer coach at the boy’s high school,

jurors wrote, but he was banned from the district in 2009 after the boy’s mother reported sexual assault allegations. School officials contacted authorities, and the state Attorney General’s Office got the case on referral from the Centre County district attorney at the time, who cited an apparent conflict of interest. Sandusky’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 13 at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte. McLaughlin said he has been in talks with prosecutors about whether his client will testify. McLaughlin said a lawsuit on behalf of his client is a foregone conclusion but will not begin until criminal proceedings are complete. He said potential targets include Sandusky, Penn State, The Second Mile and “some people who should have reported this early on and didn’t.” In State College, student leaders, Penn State President Rodney Erickson and other administrators plan to appear at an event for students regarding the child sex-abuse scandal today in Heritage Hall. The university also is conducting smaller forums, run by its counseling and psychological services center, on Thursday, and next week.

Powell free until Dec. 27

A federal judge has granted attorney Robert Powell’s request to postpone his report date to prison so he can be with his wife while she undergoes surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Powell was scheduled to begin serving his 18-month prison Powell sentence on a corruption charge Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik extended that date until Dec. 27. Powell’s attorney, Joseph D’Andrea, requested the postponement, saying Powell’s wife, Deborah, has been diagnosed with cancer and is scheduled to undergo surgery on Dec. 7. Powell, formerly of Drums, relocated his family to Florida and has no family or friends in their area who can assist him in caring for his wife and two minor children, D’Andrea said. Powell pleaded guilty in July 2009 to charges of failing to report a crime relating to his payment of $772,500 in kickbacks to former Luzerne County judges Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella.

that the Federal Emergency Management Agency needs to publish a “Flooding 101” manual to help municipalities follow necessary actions after a disaster. “Whether there is a presidential disaster declaration or not, FEMA should immediately contact municipalities by phone or email and remind them of their responsibilities to enforce requirements of the flood insurance program,” Brozena said. “Visits to municipal-

ities must occur in a more timely fashion.” He said flood events paralyze small communities and FEMA assistance “is most critical” in responding to residents’ concerns. He said most FEMA visits did not occur until nearly 30 days after the event. Brozena suggested more training for volunteers utilized during the crisis. “Property owners flooded in Septemberwillnotevenknowif their property is possibly in-

cluded for acquisition until the end of January,” Brozena said, adding that the wait could be as long as 1-1/2 to 3 years for a determination. The hearing was held in a response to the damages caused this summer by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. “This is not a fingerpointing or blaming process,” Marino said at the outset. “We want to assess the way the disaster was handled and fix any and all problems that have been identified.”

Brozena said Luzerne County has 76 municipalities and many of them have one person handling all administrative duties. “Typically salaries are low and turnover is high,” he said. “Most do not have the technical expertise or training.” Other issues discussed included ensuring that riverdepth measurement gauges are working, dredging of streams and the availability of temporary housing.

W-B faces possibility of borrowing up to $2.7M to pay flood tab By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The city may need to borrow up to $2.7 million to pay cleanup and labor costs stemming from flooding in 2006 and 2011, as it waits for federal and state reimbursement. At a special session Tuesday morning, City Council members Kathy Kane, Mike Merritt and Bill Barrett approved on first reading an ordinance allowing the city to borrow up to $3.9 million. Councilmen Tony Thomas Jr. and Rick Cronauer were absent. In addition to the flood cleanup reimbursements, the figure includes $1.2 million to pay for outfitting of office space at the Coal Street Ice Rink in antic-

ipation of an approved reimbursement from a state Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program grant. Council will revisit the borrowing request at a meeting sometime next week, city spokesman Drew McLaughlin said. City Administrator Marie McCormick said the city is anticipating aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state to cover the already-paid flood expenses, but will need to borrow what it hasn’t received by the end of the year. “We’re desperately going to try to get that money in here before the end of the year so we don’t have to borrow that amount,” McCormick said. “But right

now we’re just getting an amount not to exceed … We do have up until the time we close the loan to change the figure because it will be a not to exceed.” The cleanup and labor costs stem from the flood earlier this year as well as from a November 2006 flash flood. Council also approved four change orders for construction at the James F. Conahan Intermodal Transportation Center, adding more than $1.56 million to the project’s total cost. McCormick said an amendment adding the same amount to the $10 million Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program grant the city put toward construction of the center was approved by former Gov. Ed Rendell in January 2010, but

payment was stopped by Gov. Tom Corbett, who upon taking office stopped all pending grant dispersals approved by Rendell until he could review them. The city heard from the state Nov. 9 that the amendment had again been approved, and is seeking to reimburse the contractors as quickly as possible now that the funds are forthcoming. “We have to put the money out first (and) seek reimbursement, but I couldn’t amend the budget for these contracts until I knew that we were going to get that money,” McCormick said, adding that some contractors have waited 18 months to be paid. The amendment brings the total cost of the intermodal center to $29.8 million.

Sciences, “but I think what we’re giving them is hope, and if they are HIV positive, we are giving them a better life.” An anthropologist who began traveling to the country on Africa’s east coast about 12 years ago, Winkler spearheads a project raising funds to support and educate children orphaned when AIDS strikes their parents. Much of her work

WILKES-BARRE – It’s an emotionally draining thought: Spend nearly a decade trying to assure the education of a Tanzanian child orphaned when AIDS killed a parent, only to learn the child inherited the virus. “Those things are hard,” said Linda Winkler, Wilkes University dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social See AIDS, Page 4A

Students responded by arranging an evening fundraiser at Arts YOUniverse on South Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre at 6 p.m. Thursday, World AIDS Day. The event includes refreshments, a performance by the Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble and a chance to bid on an autographed copy of The Rolling Stones’ “It’s Only Rock N’ Roll” album. Admission is $15. Organizers hope to raise at least $750, which may not sound like much but can go a long way in the small village of Karagwe, where Winkler does much of her work in Tanzania. About $400 can pay for room and board at a private elementary school for a year. Tanzania has public schools, but children tend to fare much better in the private institutions, Winkler said. Even if a child is placed in a public school, he or she still needs money. “They have to buy uniforms and shoes or they can’t go,” Winkler said. “There

Originally from Ohio, Winkler concedes helping children 7,500 miles away in a sweltering corner of Africa was not in her plans as a youth. She majored in sociology with minors in religion and theater, but an anthropology course “caught me,” and she pursued her

master’s in public health and a doctorate in anthropology. A “study abroad” program at the University of Pittsburgh landed her in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and she began looking for an opportunity to start a program focusing on international disease. When she first had a chance to go to Tanzania, she realized it was the right place to fulfill her dream. There was limited work being done to fight AIDS and help victims. She said their efforts have helped about 35 orphans so far.

WILKES-BARRE – An Exeter couple charged with taking more than $500,000 from the estate of a late labor leader waived their right to an arraignment in Luzerne County Court on Tuesday. Joel Riegel, 73, and Gloria Bartnicki Riegel, 62, of Memorial Street, waived their arraignment on charges of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds and criminal conspiracy through their attorney, Demetrius Fannick. The arraignment was waived

United Way of Wyoming Valley, and that the two began taking the money in 2005 after the death of Anthony Kane in December 2001. The Riegels will now either be scheduled to stand trial or to enter a guilty plea to the charges. Kane, who served as president of the teachers union for the Wyoming Valley West School District, was a devoted supporter of the United Way and left the bulk of his estate to the agency after his death in December 2001. The Riegels served as executors until 2007. The value of the estate plummeted from $1.3 mil-

lion to just $2,425 during their tenure, according to an accounting conducted as part of the civil case involving the United Way. An investigation conducted by the Charitable Trusts Unit, a civil branch of the Attorney General’s Office, and the estate’s new executor alleged the Riegels spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal expenses, including golf memberships, jewelry, lawn care and pest control. The criminal charges are based on an investigation by the criminal unit of the Attorney General’s Office that showed the Riegels wrote more than $150,000 worth of checks to themselves and took roughly $380,000 from the sale of a mortgage that was supposed to be deposited into the estate.

The city property taxes are in penalty. The last day to make payment for the 2011 Nanticoke City property, school district property, and school property installments is Dec. 15. Separate checks must be made for each tax paid. Payments will not be accepted after Dec. 15.

The tax office is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in the municipal building. If a receipt is requested, please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. Mail-in payments will not be accepted by postmark. Call 735-2800 for information.

Alleged armed robber waives case to county court By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – A man accused of shooting another man during a robbery nearly three years ago waived his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Joseph Halesey on Tuesday. Robert Anthony Wiggins, 21, of Wilkes-Barre, waived charges of robbery, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and three counts of criminal conspiracy to Luzerne County Court. Township police allege Wiggins conspired with Jeremy Battle, 21, to rob Muadhahin Sharif, 28, inside a Hanover Village apartment on Jan. 18, 2009. Battle was invited inside Sharif’s apartment after knocking on the door. As the two men sat on a couch, a masked Wiggins entered and aimed a gun at Sharif while demanding money, according to the criminal complaint. Wiggins then allegedly shot Sharif in the leg. Battle pleaded guilty to robbery, aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy for his role. He was sentenced in January 2010 to three to six years in state prison. Wiggins was captured by Wilkes-Barre police on Oct. 1 when search warrants related to a drug investigation were executed at 86 Midland Court. He remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $200,000 bail.

Iran’s British Embassy assailed

B R I E F

The action by Iranian students was reminiscent of when U.S. Embassy compound was seized in 1979. By NASSER KARIMI Associated Press

Military claims credit

military rulers were quick to E gypt’s take credit Tuesday for a strong

turnout in the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a vote that appeared to be the country’s freest and fairest in living memory. The military did not field candidates in the parliamentary vote. But winning bragging rights for a smooth, successful and virtually fraud-free election would significantly boost the ruling generals in their bitter struggle with youthful protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square calling for them to transfer power immediately to a civilian authority.

TEHRAN, Iran — Hard-line Iranian students stormed British diplomatic sites in Tehran on Tuesday, bringing down the Union Jack flag, burning an embassy vehicle and throwing documents from windows in scenes reminiscent of the seizing of the U.S. Embassy compound in 1979. The act drew a sharp rebuke from London. British Prime Minister David Cameron called it “outrageous and indefensible” and warned the Iranian government will face “serious consequences” for “its unacceptable failure” to protect diplomats in line with international law. He said those measures would be consid-

ered in coming days. The mob surged past riot police into the British Embassy complex — which they pelted with petrol bombs and stones — two days after Iran’s parliament approved a bill that reduces diplomatic relations with Britain following London’s support of recently upgraded Western sanctions on Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. A rally had been organized by student groups at universities and seminaries. Demonstrators outside the embassy also burned British flags and clashed with police. Less than two hours later, police appeared to regain control of the site. But about 300 protesters reportedly entered a residential complex for staff in another part of the city and replaced British flags with Iranian ones. The British Foreign Office also harshly denounced the melee. It said a “significant number” of pro-

Iranian protesters break the windows of a British Embassy building in Tehran, Iran, on Tuesday. Dozens of hardline Iranian students stormed the embassy, bringing down the Union Jack flag and throwing documents from windows. AP PHOTO

testers entered the compound and caused vandalism, but gave no other details on damage. Cameron said all embassy staff have been accounted for and praised Britain’s ambassador to Iran for handling a “dangerous situation with calm and professionalism.” He also said Iran’s govern-

ment must immediately secure Britain’s compound and ensure the staff’s safety. In Washington, the White House issued a statement strongly condemning the attacks and saying Iran has an obligation to protect foreign embassies. The U.S. broke off diplomatic relations with Iran during the embassy siege in 1980.

Pakistan criticizes U.S. Pakistan withdrew from an international conference on stabilizing Afghanistan to protest the deadly attack by American forces on its troops, widening a fresh rupture in ties with a nominal ally that is endangering the U.S. plan for gradually ending the war. A top Pakistani army general said Tuesday that the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers were the result of a “deliberate act of aggression.” He said the military has not decided whether to take part in an American investigation into the weekend encounter along the mountainous Afghan border. The hard line was aimed partly at pacifying the country’s anti-American public, most of whom detest their leaders’ close association with Washington. The uncompromising stance of the army was also likely designed to press for more concessions from Washington. OSLO, NORWAY

Mass killer declared insane Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik belongs in psychiatric care instead of prison, Norwegian prosecutors said Tuesday after a mental evaluation declared him legally insane during a bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people. The court-ordered assessment found that the self-styled anti-Muslim militant was psychotic during the July 22 attacks, which would make him mentally unfit to be convicted and imprisoned for the country’s worst peacetime massacre. The report, written by two psychiatrists who spent 36 hours talking to Breivik, will be reviewed by an expert panel before the Oslo district court rules on his mental state. Their conclusions surprised many outside experts and contrasted with earlier comments by the head of the review panel, who told The Associated Press in July that it was unlikely that Breivik would be declared insane because the attacks were so carefully planned and executed.

Suit over ‘jammed’ coffin The family of a 91-year-old woman claims in a lawsuit that workers at a Catholic cemetery near Pittsburgh jumped up and down on top of the woman’s casket and otherwise jammed it into a snug grave by poking it with poles. Theodore Zimmick, his daughter and granddaughter sued the Pittsburgh diocese and its Catholic Cemeteries Association over the burial of his mother, Agnes Zimmick, on Dec. 1, 2009 at St. Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery in Shaler Township. After the funeral service, the family said they went to visit the graves of other family members only to see workers allegedly stomping and walking on the casket and otherwise jamming it into the grave. Annabelle McGannon, executive director of the cemeteries association, says the family’s claims have been thoroughly investigated and are “unfounded.”

LOS ANGELES — The doctor convicted in the overdose death of Michael Jackson was sentenced to the maximum four years behind bars Tuesday by a judge who denounced him as a reckless physician whose actions were a “disgrace to the medical profession.” Dr. Conrad Murray sat stoically with his hands crossed as Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor repeatedly chastised him for what he called a “hor-

Sheriff’s officials later said Murray will serve a little less than two years behind bars while housed in a one-man cell and kept away from other prisoners. “This is going to be a real test of our criminal justice system to see if it’s meaningful at all,” District Attorney Steve Cooley said. Cooley said he was considering asking the judge to modify the sentence to classify the crime as a serious felony war-

Cain tells aides he’s assessing candidacy in wake of accusation By RAY HENRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — Herman Cain told aides Tuesday he is assessing whether the latest allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against him “create too much of a cloud” forhisRepublicanpresidentialcandidacyto go forward. Acknowledging the “firestorm” arising from an accusation of infidelity, Cain only committed to keeping his campaign schedule for the next several days, in a conference call with his senior staff. “If a decision is made, different than to plowahead,youallwillbethefirsttoknow,”

he said, according to a transcript of the call made by the National Review, which listened to the conversation. It was the first time doubts about Cain’s continued candidacy had Cain surfaced from the candidate himself. As recently as Tuesday morning, a campaign spokesman had stated unequivocally that Cain would not quit. Cain denied anew that he had an extramarital affair with a Georgia woman who went public a day earlier with allegations

they had been intimate for 13 years. “It was just a friendship relationship,” he said on the call, according to the transcript. “That being said, obviously, this is a cause for reassessment.” He went on: “With this latest one, we have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth.” Saying the episode had taken an emotional toll on him and his family, Cain told the aides that people will have to decide whether they believe him or the accuser.

BRUSSELS — Eurozone nations called for more IMF resources to help out their embattled currency. The 17 eurozone finance ministers on Tuesday agreed to seek new ways to increase the resources of the International Monetary Fund through bilateral loans that could be used to protect EU nations facing financial trouble.

It came on the third straight day that Italy has taken a beating in the bond markets, with investors growing increasingly wary of the country’s chances of avoiding default. Markets rose for the second day Tuesday on hopes that pressures on the ministers would produce some results. The finance ministers approved the next installment of the Greece’s bailout loan — 8 billion euros ($10.7 billion). Without that money, Greece would have run out of cash before Christmas, unable to pay employees or provide services. Two officials in Brussels reported the development, speaking on condition of anonymity while the meeting was still going on. The installment is part of a 110 billion euro ($150 billion) bailout from eurozone nations and the International Monetary Fund that Greece has been dependent on since May 2010.

oan Lukach, 81, passed away at home in Wilmington, Delaware on Saturday, November 19, 2011, after a courageous battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Joan was born in Wilkes-Barre, an only child of John and Sophia Wojcik. She graduated from Coughlin High School in 1948, and from College Misericordia, Dallas, in 1952 with a bachelor’s of science degree in home economics. She then completed a dietetic internship at the New York Hospital, Cornell Medical Center. After marriage, she worked as a clinical dietitian and taught Nutrition and Diet Therapy to student nurses at Memorial Hospital, South Bend, Ind., while her husband attended graduate school at the University of Notre Dame. At Memorial Hospital, she developed the nutrition curriculum needed for national accreditation of its Nursing School program. Joan was a Registered Dietitian and a member of the American Dietetic Association since 1953. Upon moving to Wilmington, Del., she worked periodically as staff dietitian at the Wilmington General Hospital, and as a volunteer and Chairman of Volunteers for 10 years at the Child Diagnostic and Development Clinic of the A.I. DuPont Institute. She was also a very active member of the Junior Board of the Medical Center of Delaware/Christiana Care since 1983, where she was Patient Services Chairman, worked in the Surgical Lounge and Maternity, and served on the Executive Committee. Her Junior Board activities enriched her life, and her enthusiasm for the work helped convince many others to volunteer. In church-related work, she helped organize the first Parent/ Teachers Association in the Diocese of Wilmington at Christ Our King Church and was elected vice president. Joan helped establish home/ school associations at other parochial schools, and coordinated summer camp programs for disadvantaged primary school students. During the summers of her college years, she attended Alliance College in Cambridge Springs, Pa., to learn the history, art, literature and culture of Poland. She spoke Polish fluently and was proud of her Polish heritage. She lived for three years each in Houston, Texas, and Rouen, France, different exposures which she welcomed. She learned French, trav-

eled extensively in Europe and Asia and made many international friends. With her home economics, nutrition, and experience background, she was an exceptional decorator, gourmet cook, hostess and consultant. She enjoyed entertaining and sharing her knowledge with others. Joan also loved flowers and gardening, and was an avid Notre Dame Football fan. However, her greatest joy was her time spent with family and friends in various activities. She will be deeply missed by her husband, three children, four grandchildren and numerous friends and associates. She is survived by her husband, of 58 years, Carl A. Lukach; sons, Carl J. Lukach and his wife Mary, and Ted Lukach; daughter, Mimi Kramer and husband David; grandchildren, Carl E. Lukach, Mark Lukach and wife Giulia, Matthew Lukach and wife Grace Ann, and Catherine Loupochine and husband Alex. The family would like to express its gratitude to the nurses and nurses aides at Bayada Nurses (especially Lynnette Perry), and those at Compassionate Care Hospice for the exceptional loving care they provided during her illness. Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday in the Chandler Funeral Home, 2506 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday in St. Joseph on the Brandywine Church, 10 Old Church Rd., Greenville, DE.

Law that reduces number of tax collectors cuts firm’s work

Berkheimer closes W-B office In Luzerne County, a coalition of taxing bodies decided to go with for all Pennsylvania local govanother company, so Berkheimer would have no work starting in ernments and school districts, except for Philadelphia.

tion agency, has closed its office at 15 Public Square. Company attorney Dave Gordon said Act 32 was the driving factor behind the decision to leave the office it has occupied for nearly the past decade. Act 32 is a law that streamlines and standardizes the local earned income tax system. Act 32 reduces Pennsylvania’s number of earned income tax collectors from 560 to 21. In Luzerne County, a coalition of taxing bodies decided to go with another company, so Berkheimer would have no work starting in the second

quarter of next year. Residents who pay earned income tax to Berkheimer can still make payments by mail to its Bangor office or online via Berkheimer’s website, www.hab-inc.com. Gordon said customers with questions or concerns can call toll-free at 866-701-7206. The company will continue to collect earned income taxes in Lackawanna County and is in the process of opening an office in Scranton. Gordon said the company also plans to hold sessions at various locations in Lu-

zerne County for customers with tax questions to meet with company employees. Gordon said Berkheimer left its Suite 500 space earlier than planned as a favor to the building’s landlord, Humford Equities. Gordon said the landlord had another tenant lined up and wanting to move in, so Berkheimer agreed to end its lease early. Act 32, which the state legislature passed in 2008 and goes into effect on Jan. 1, provides for a restructuring of the earned income tax collection system

2,900 different local and school district taxing jurisdictions in the state and about 560 different tax collectors using a multitude of different tax forms. Now, all taxing bodies in a county – cities, boroughs, townships and school districts – will use the same tax collector selected by a committee for each county. The earned income tax collector for all taxing bodies in Luzerne County will be Don Wilkinson Agency. Times Leader reporter Steve Mocarsky contributed to this story.

Man sentenced to Intermediate Punishment Program for robbery By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Zion Grove man was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program for his role in the attempted armed robbery of a Hazle Township convenience store. Eric Anthony Straight, 21, was

sentenced on charges of terroristic threats and reckless endangerment by Luzerne County Senior Judge Hugh Mundy. Mundy said the first seven months of Straight’s sentence must be served on house arrest with an electronic monitor and the remainder on probation. Straight pleaded guilty to the charges last month. Straight and Joshua Michael Seiler, 20, of Drums, were charged on May 29 after police said the two decided to rob the Fuel On store in Hazle Township

with a 20-gauge shotgun after they had been drinking and became intoxicated. “I’m extremely sorry,” Straight told Mundy. “Drugs and alcohol will never be a problem again.” Assistant District Attorney Albert Yacoub said that because of the nature of the crime and that Straight used a loaded shotgun, he should receive some sort of incarceration for the offense. Mundy told Straight he was fortunate he was accepted into the IPP and has no prior record. “If you come back before me,

I’ll put you in jail for as long as I can,” Mundy warned Straight. Mundy said Straight must undergo drug-and-alcohol and mental-health evaluations, and must complete 25 hours of community service. Seiler was sentenced on Nov. 15 to six to 18 months in the county’s IPP, with the first six months on house arrest with an electronic monitor. Seiler pleaded guilty to one count of reckless endangerment in September.

Police say Russell William Olson Jr., 30, showed a gun and assaulted a woman. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A city man scheduled to stand trial Tuesday on charges stemming from a road rage incident in which police say he assaulted a woman and displayed a gun pleaded guilty to related charges and was sentenced to five to 10 years in state prison. Russell William Olson Jr., 30, of North Walnut Street, pleaded guilty to one count each of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm, as well as an unrelated charge of possession with intent to deliver. Olson was sentenced by Luzerne County Senior Judge Kenneth Brown. Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake prosecuted the case; Olson was represented by attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr. According to court papers, on Feb. 5, 2010, a vehicle driven by Olson ran a red light and nearly struck a vehicle driven by Jared Belardinelli. Belardinelli had three people in his vehicle, including Carla Valenia, and began following Olson after becoming angry about the near accident. Police said both vehicles stopped on Stevens Lane in Wilkes-Barre and that Olson exited his vehicle with a handgun,

chambering a round. Police said Valenia approached Olson to try to calm him down, and he hit her in the chest with his forearm. Olson then fought with Belardinelli, police said, pushing and shoving him, and continuing to hold the gun in his hand. Belardinelli said he was afraid he was going to be shot because the gun was in a cocked position when Olson ordered him to get his insurance information. When interviewed by police, Olson admitted to having the gun and striking Valenia. In the case with the unrelated drug charge, police said they found Olson in possession of suspected marijuana on Feb. 6, 2010. Olson was ordered to have no contact with anyone involved in the road rage case and to pay $1, 813 in restitution. Olson’s passenger in the vehicle at the time, Timothy Bender, 31, of Hughestown, was also charged in the incident. He pleaded guilty to a single count of simple assault in September 2010, and was sentenced in May to one year in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program. Bender told police he and Olson had been at the Mohegan Sun casino, where they were drinking heavily, and then got into a fight at Club Evolution at the Woodlands Inn & Resort before the crash happened.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “This will be my last flood. If it happens again, I won’t go out of business, but I will move to higher ground.” Joe Agolino The owner of Agolino’s Char-Grill Restaurant in West Pittston, while far from retiring, said that after rebounding from the September flood, he’s not inclined to go through the rebuilding process at the same site if disaster strikes again. Patrons, meanwhile, can enjoy the eatery on Luzerne Avenue, set to reopen on Friday morning.

OTHER OPINION: EDUCATION

Cyber schools must do better

YBER SCHOOLS aren’t for everyone. But for a growing number of Pennsylvania students and their families, it’s an attractive alternative to the traditional classroom setting – students learning from home via computer, at their own pace and around their particular schedules. Across the state, about 30,000 students are enrolled in one of 13 cyber charter schools, double the number from five years ago. But changes need to be made. Students in cyber charters are falling well behind their brickand-mortar peers on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests. Officials at some cyber schools blame the disparEDITORIAL BOARD

ity on the diverse nature of their student bodies, which they say makes it more difficult to hit the state-mandated targets. That might be – but they’re still going to have figure out how to hit them. Continued failure could eventually result in their charters being revoked. Competition is likely to force both cyber charters and districts to focus more on progress and improve their games. And in either case, the students benefit. Other changes have to come from state lawmakers, who need to re-examine the charter school law and make revisions to deal with tuition disparity and lax oversight. The York Dispatch

MALLARD FILLMORE

Lawmakers should freeze salaries, share in sacrifice WITH ALL due respect to state Rep. Phyllis Mundy – and I’ve developed a lot of respect for her over the years – the answer is yes. In an article Tuesday regarding a 3 percent pay raise that legislators will get next month, Mundy harked back to the base pay legislators received in 1995, when the law that set the rate of annual raises was passed. Reporter Andrew Seder of The Times Leader quoted the Kingston Democrat as saying “Do people really think we should be working for $47,000?” The urge to quip is strong: “No. We think you should work for less than that.” According to the U.S. Census, the 2009 median household income in Luzerne County was $39,984 – nearly $10,000 below the state median, and less than half the base pay of state legislators after this raise takes them to $82,026. More important, the 2009 household median here is actually $2,010 less than it was in 1999. It’s pretty hard for any legislator to justify a 75 percent pay increase since 1995 while Luzerne County constituents endure on average a drop of almost 5 percent since 1999. I’m not picking on Mundy. In my dealings she has come across as well-versed in the topics at hand and fair in her stances. She has long championed funding for effective early education, a cause I fully support.

disagree with Tom Venesky’s column (“Trapping helps control safety of furbearers,” Oct. 9.). Inhumane trapping is unjustifiable. Thirty to 40 percent of all furs come from trapped animals. Terrified animals caught in leg-hold traps often chew off their paws to escape and are routinely clubbed to death, stomped to death or strangled. Many three-legged pets in Pennsylvania lost their legs to traps. When domestic dogs, cats, birds, deer, etc., are caught in traps, they are thrown to the side to die because their fur isn’t valuable. The notion that trapping, gutting and skinning an animal to wear its fur reduces rabies is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard!

the problem it claims to solve. After a dramatic reduction in the number of animals killed, the population will bounce back the next year due to more available food. This rebound effect is acknowledged by game commissions and hunters’ and trappers’ associations and is implicit in their core concept of “maximum sustainable yield,” i.e., killing animals this year ensures that there will be even more available to kill the following year.

udos to Mike Martin for his letter to the editor of Nov. 12 concerning the Jerry Sandusky scandal. What, I ask, would have been the reaction of the Penn State University administration if football coach Joe Paterno had bypassed the chain of command and gone directly to the police? Anger, I suspect. And why, having reported the incident to the chain of command, would “JoePa” not have had reason to assume that the matter was being properly handled by the administration and therefore out of his hands? And why, after the fact, is the administration “seeking out the truth,” having already overreacted and fired “JoePa,” instead of at least putting him on administrative leave or allowing him to retire with dignity? What a slap in the face to the man who has done so much for Penn State! I, too, say “shame!” Kayanne Wiener Kingston

Casey, Biden not expected to accompany president Senator’s staff cites timing of key votes. Foe raps Scranton native’s backing of Obama.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Vice President Joe Biden campaigned in 2008 in Northeastern Pennsylvania, touting he was a Scranton native. That same year, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a Scranton resident, sat at

the counter at the Avenue Diner in Wyoming and ate pie with then-Sen. Barack Obama, who was running for presiCasey dent. Neither Biden nor Casey is expected to be at Obama’s side today when the president speaks at Scranton High School about his American Jobs Act.

veiled legislation Monday seeking to extend the current one-year payroll tax cut expiring Dec. 31 and expand the size of the cut for 2012. Barletta is among a group of Republicans who have indicated they are agreeable to extending the payroll tax cut for another year.

“It’s unclear right now whether Sen. Casey will be there,” said April Mellody of Casey’s staff. “It all depends on the timing of votes in the Senate.” Mellody said Casey will remain in Washington if the votes for the defense authorization bill and the payroll tax bill conflict with Obama’s time in Scranton. “Everything is contingent on the times of the votes,” Mellody said. Politico reported Tuesday that it’s “unlikely” that Casey would ap-

But many Republicans oppose how Casey and other Senate Democrats want to pay for the about $250 billion cost of the tax cut – a 3.25 percent surcharge on the income taxes paid by people making more than $1 million a year. The payroll tax cut in effect this year slashed the rate by 2 percent, from 6.2 percent of a person’s earnings to 4.2 percent. That saved a family with $50,000 of income about $1,000. Now, Senate Democrats want to cut the payroll tax further, to 3.1 percent,

pear with Obama today. “The absence is likely to stir up a round of speculation that Casey, who faces re-election next year, isn’t going for other reasons,” the Politico report stated. “Republicans have been working overtime to remind Pennsylvania voters of Casey’s relationship with Obama. Casey was the first high-ranking Pennsylvania elected official to endorse Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary, and has remained an ally ever since, al-

which Casey said would save a family earning $50,000 a year about $1,500 next year and spur the type of spending that can boost the economy. Casey said the tax cut also applies to employers – on the first $5 million of an employer’s payroll – and would encourage more hiring. The tax cut would have a “substantial impact for employers and employees,” Casey said Monday. “We know this works. This is the right thing to do … and we have got to do this by the end of the year.”

Row office cutbacks Several row offices lost funding for deputies. County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski was outraged that funding for her deputy – Art Bobbouine – was eliminated in addition to $107,000 in payroll cuts for union workers. She said Bobbouine has been handling online access to office records and has a law degree that

provides additional expertise. The union cut will equate to about three layoffs of clerical workers, she said. “They’re giving the new council a sham budget. They’re going to throw them into chaos,” Medico Olenginski said. She also criticized the commissioners’ decision to temporarily remove employee access to the draft budget, saying it is “sneaky” and unfair to managers who want to monitor changes. The controller’s office is now the only county office with access to the internal budget draft outside of county Budget/Finance Chief Joan Pusateri because the commissioners informed the financial software company to block departments from seeing

the information, said county Controller Walter Griffith. Griffith said Petrilla also sent an email to the council-elect criticizing him for releasing budget updates, saying commissioners would provide the council with firm numbers. The controller said he had received requests from some council members for the information and didn’t want to pick and choose recipients. Griffith said he asked the council-elect to let him know if the information was unwanted, but nobody contacted him to be removed from his mailings. Several council members-elect say they have lots of questions about the new budget. They will have 45 days to amend the budget after they take office Jan. 2.

She also has concerns about their fairness. Some municipalities in other states that utilize the cameras have been accused of shortening the yellow light signal to increase the number of violations. “Where motorist safety is the emphasis, these cameras often do not produce revenue to cover the costs. Where the light cycles are set with revenue needs in mind, the incidence of driver error and accidents seems to rise,” Baker said. Yudichak said the Pennsylvania legislation includes provisions to protect against possible abuses. “A key provision in the bill is that the (revenue generated) cannot be used for the general fund. It needs to be distributed to traffic safety improvement programs

within the municipality,” he said.

She did not know if revenue will exceed $120.7 million to minimize the need for further cuts. “I don’t know what the final number will come in at. Unfortunately, there will be cuts,” Petrilla said. Some of the staff cuts stem from the new home rule government’s merger of departments, she said. For example, the clerk of courts, prothonotary, recorder of deeds, register of wills and sheriff departments will be consolidated under the new judicial services and records division. “All the staff will be performing judicial records duties, so you won’t need 25 percent of the staff,” Petrilla said. The revenue side was boosted with a projected $5.3 million increase in property tax collection. The county tax base has decreased since November 2010, but Petrilla said commissioners expect an increase because a tax di-

aires, which would be a permanent tax increase while the extension is for one year, would hamper job creation efforts. “The federal government does not tax too little, it spends too much,” Marino said. “This economy will not turn around until we cut federal spending and downsize Washington to reduce the debt while keeping taxes low. I am glad the President acknowledges the positive effects of a tax cut like the payroll tax holiday, but there is not much use to it if it is paid for with a permanent tax increase.”

Barletta said via email this week that he believes Congressional Republicans can find “common ground with the president on this issue and others. But I think President Obama should stay in Washington and work to find that common ground, rather than spend thousands of tax dollars to fly around and campaign.” Northeastern Pennsylvania’s other House member, Rep.

ROBBERY SPREE WEST WYOMING

W-B uncommitted Drew McLaughlin, spokesman for Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton, said city officials have not yet determined whether the cameras would be appropriate for the city should they be approved by the legislature. “We will give a thorough look, but there are many issues that need to be properly examined before the city can make a decision on the installation of these cameras if they are approved by Harrisburg,” McLaughlin said in an email. Yudichak noted the legislation does not require cities to install the cameras. It leaves that decision up to each municipality. “It empowers local governments to make that decision,” he said. “As long as you make sure there are protections to ensure this is about traffic safety and not revenue generation, I think we need to employ this to make sure we protect the public.”

Penguins’ cold slide continues

Mullen arises as possible candidate

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton drops sixth game out of last seven in road setback to Norfolk. By JIM HODGES For The Times Leader

NORFOLK, Va. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had gotten a gift goal and were tied in the second period when double trouble came. First a slashing penalty on Simon Despres. Then, only 21 seconds later, a hooking penalty on Bryan Lerg. Then, a 5on-3 power play goal by Norfolk’s Cory Conacher that send the Admirals sailing toADMIRALS ward a 5-2 win Tuesday at Scope Arena. Conacher PENGUINS added another power-play goal in the second period and Trevor Smith scored into an empty Penguin net for the game’s final goal. Niko Dimitrakos scored a power-play goal for the Pens, who also got a gift goal from Ben Street to tie things at 2-2 in the second period. “We got ourselves into some penalty trouble tonight,” said Pens coach John Hynes, who lost defensemen Alexandre Picard and Robert Bortuzzo to Pittsburgh after the morning skate Tuesday. “That’s such a good offensive team we’re playing – Norfolk leads the AHL in scoring – that is not a recipe for success to take seven minor penalties.” Still, Hynes added, “there was plenty of time left.” Not when you’re getting only nine shots after the first period, only two shots in the third. The Pens have lost six of their last seven, and team captain Ryan Craig – a former Admiral captain – said it’s time for each of the players to look in the mirror. “We’ve got to make a better play on that goal,” said Craig, who was on the ice for Norfolk’s third goal. “That ends up being the game-winner.” The Pens got a good start when Dimitrakos blasted in a power play goal for a 1-0 lead. It ended a workingman’s seg-

Amid reports that he will be a serious candidate for Penn State’s coaching job, Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen declined to address his future on Tuesday. When asked at a press conference whether he or his agent had been in contact with any other schools, including Penn State, Mullen told reporters in Starkville, “We don’t talk about that. You know our policy. We talk about Mississippi State.”

Speculation has ramped up following Penn State’s announcement Monday that the school had formed a Mullen search committee to find a permanent replacement for Joe Paterno. Interim coach Tom Bradley is expected to be one of several people to interview for the position.

Mullen’s name in particular hit national airwaves Tuesday afternoon when an ESPN report said Penn State was interested in Mullen, citing an unidentified source. That came just a few hours before Mullen was set for a regularly scheduled end-of-season sitdown with reporters, who asked the third-year Bulldogs coach about being on Penn State’s list for the job. “Great,” Mullen deadpanned. “I’m sure I’m on everybody’s. Am

I right? Every time a job comes open, doesn’t my name come up? So you know our policy. We talk Mississippi State football. That’s all we ever talk about.” Born in the Philadelphia area, Mullen grew up in New Hampshire and is best known for being a highly successful assistant under Urban Meyer at Bowling Green, Utah and finally at Florida, where he was the offensive coordinator on two national title teams. Meyer was introduced Mon-

day as the new coach at Ohio State. Mullen was hired away from Florida by Mississippi State for his first head coaching job in 2009. He has posted a record of 20-17 with the Bulldogs, highlighted by a 9-4 campaign in 2010 that was capped by a 52-14 win over Michigan in the Gator Bowl. The Bulldogs went 6-6 this season and are bowl eligible. See MULLEN, Page 4B

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Ndamukong Suh is going back to the NFL, this time hoping for some leniency. The league suspended Detroit’s All-Pro defensive tackle without pay for two games on Tuesday, punishing the secondyear player for roughing up a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman after the whistle last week.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning (10) threw for 406 and 2 touchdowns during Monday’s 49-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — While struggling to find answers for his team’s three-game losing streak, Tom Coughlin believes the New York Giants are still as good as they showed in beating the New England Patriots earlier this month. Coughlin insisted Tuesday that the Giants (6-5) are not as bad as they played in a 49-24 loss to the Saints Monday night and that they have the talent to knock off the undefeated Green Bay Packers (11-0) this weekend. But the problem that has beset the Giants in their most recent second-half skid is a failure to play a complete game.

Against the Saints, Eli Manning and the offense played well and the defense didn’t. It was pretty much the opposite the week before in a 17-10 loss against the Eagles and a combination of failures in the 27-20 loss to San Francisco. The skid has put the Giants a game behind the Dallas Cowboys (7-4) in the NFC East with New York facing the prospect of another loss as Green Bay looms Sunday. See GIANTS, Page 5B

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Spartans, Badgers meet again in rematch of thriller By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

EAST LANSING, Mich. — The play helped send Michigan State to a division title and could have ruined Wisconsin’s season. With the score tied on the final snap, Kirk Cousins rolled out to his right and threw the ball deep toward the end zone. Keith Nichol made the catch after a carom and fought to reach the goal line, giving the Spartans a 37-31 victory over the Badgers in one of college football’s best games this season. If the rematch is half as good as that October thriller, the Big Ten should have quite a show in store for its inaugural conference title game. No. 11 Michigan State and

No. 15 Wisconsin meet again Saturday night in Indianapolis. “I don’t think you could draw it up any better than two teams that came down to the last play,” Nichol said. “Winner takes all.” When the Spartans and Badgers met earlier in the season, they were already eyeing a spot in this weekend’s title game. Wisconsin, in fact, was undefeated and averaging over 50 points a game. Although the regular-season clash is best remembered for the stunning finish, it was entertain-

ing throughout, with both teams rallying from two-touchdown deficits. “Michigan State and Wisconsin are the two best teams in this conference,” Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said Tuesday. “That is without question, I believe.” The Spartans were coming off an emotional win over Michigan the first time they played Wisconsin, and Michigan State looked flat at first, falling behind 14-0. Then the Spartans turned the game around in the second quarter with special teams plays that shifted the momentum. After pinning Wisconsin back with a punt, Michigan State forced an intentional grounding

penalty in the end zone for a safety that made it 14-2. Later in the quarter, the Spartans blocked a field goal, and just before halftime, Michigan State scored on a blocked punt to take a 23-14 lead. It was 31-17 when the Badgers finally found their footing. Quarterback Russell Wilson ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the fourth quarter to tie the game. But that only set up a finish that still lingers for Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema. “It’s not like it’s running through my mind 24 hours a day, but it was a great highlight on ESPN for about three weeks there — I swear it was on every commercial,” Bielema said. “So

it’s kind of forced on you in certain ways. But I think if you are a person that takes things personally, you’re going to remember things like that your entire life. It’s kind of what motivates us as coaches.” The play was called “Rocket” — Cousins was able to buy enough time for his receivers to make it down the field. His pass bounced off wide receiver B.J. Cunningham, who was in the end zone, and was caught out of the air by Nichol, who was a few feet away on the other side of the goal line. After making the catch, Nichol struggled to reach the end zone. He was initially ruled short, but Michigan State was awarded the

winning touchdown after a review. “You’ve got to be fortunate, obviously, or blessed if you’re going to get that pass,” Dantonio said. “But at the same time, it’s a play. They all count.” A week after losing to Michigan State, Wisconsin stumbled again, falling at Ohio State on another long pass in the final minute. Since then, the Badgers have been dominant again. Last weekend, with a spot in the title game on the line, Wisconsin (10-2, 6-2) routed Penn State 45-7. That gives the Badgers another chance to face Michigan State (10-2, 7-1) — this time with a Rose Bowl berth on the line.

Scott leads Virginia past No. 14 Michigan

Freedom tips off league play tonight

The Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia’s best opponent to date also brought out the best in the Cavaliers. Mike Scott had 18 points and 11 rebounds Tuesday night and Virginia used a 19-2 run in the second half to take command and beat No. 14 Michigan 70-58 in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. The Cavaliers limited Michigan to 44-percent shooting, won the rebounding battle 36-26 and didn’t get careless with the ball as they had in previous games. They had eight turnovers, two after halftime. “When we play really hard on defense and get stops, that makes our offense run, that makes our offense go,” freshman guard Malcolm Brogdon said after scoring 13 of his 16 points in the decisive second half. “I think we were able to get into a rhythm offensively because of our defense.” Joe Harris added 18 points as the Cavaliers (6-1) went from trailing 39-34 to leading 53-41 with 6:43 remaining. Harris’ floater sparked the burst. Brogdon scored eight points during the run, and Scott had six. Scott hit back-to-back baskets to break a 41-all tie as the Cavaliers held Michigan scoreless for 6 1/2 minutes, running off 15 consecutive points.

second half. Austin Rivers had 22 points and Mason Plumlee 16 for the Blue Devils (7-1), coming off wins over ranked opponents Michigan and Kansas in their previous two games. William Buford scored 20, Deshaun Thomas 18 and Aaron Craft 17 for the Buckeyes, who gave the Big Ten a 4-2 edge in the conference matchups.

Baylor 90, Prairie View 54 WACO, Texas — Perry Jones III scored 27 points with some high-flying plays in his season debut and No. 7 Baylor defeated Prairie View to wrap up its season-opening six-game homestand undefeated. The Bears, after quickly falling behind 11-2, never trailed after Pierre Jackson’s bounce pass to Jones for a one-handed slam dunk that made it 17-16 midway through the first half. That was part of 16 consecutive points by Baylor in a 4-minute spurt when Jones scored nine points. Jones, the 6-foot-11 sophomore forward who was the preseason Big 12 player of the year, had to sit out the first five games to complete an NCAA suspension for accepting improper benefits before he got to Baylor. His six-game penalty included the Bears’ finale last season in the Big 12 tournament.

NHL ROUNDUP

Second-period outburst leads Rangers past Penguins The Associated Press

NEW YORK — John Mitchell and Brad Richards scored 90 seconds apart in New York’s four-goal second period, and the Rangers held on to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Tuesday night for their third consecutive win. Ryan Callahan and Marian Gaborik both had a goal and assist in the period, and Richards added two assists as New York won its seventh straight at home and 10th in 12 games overall. The four goals in the period matched a season high, done three previous times — including twice in three games. Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for his 10th win in 17 outings. Sidney Crosby helped set up James Neal’s first-period goal that gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead and assisted on Pascal Dupuis’

goal that made it 4-3 early in the third. Crosby has at least one point in four of five games since returning from a concussion that sidelined him since January. Crosby, who played at Madison Square Garden for the first time in exactly one year, has two goals and nine assists this season. Crosby wasn’t forgotten by Rangers fans during his long absence, and heard boos nearly every time he touched the puck. Blues 2, Capitals 1 WASHINGTON — Dale Hunter’s NHL coaching career began with a thud as the Capitals struggled again in a loss to St. Louis. T.J. Oshie and Matt D’Agostini scored for the Blues, who won their fourth straight game to improve to 8-1-2 under Ken Hitchcock.

ment last season. The Colonels and Cougars split the regular season series. King’s (1-3), meanwhile, takes on the defending league champion Aggies. For the women, Misericordia (1-3) is looking to return to the conference championship. Wilkes (3-1) is under the direction of new coach Chris Heery. King’s (4-1) returns a full squad from last season’s team that reached the conference semifinals. Freedom Conference play opens with games today and Saturday before resuming in January following semester break.

Nicklas Backstrom got the lone goal for the Capitals, whose attack was as ineffective under Hunter as it had been recently under fired coach Bruce Boudreau. Washington was outshot 30-19 by the stingiest defense in the NHL. Panthers 3, Hurricanes 1 RALEIGH, N.C. — Shawn Matthias scored with 3:19 left to help Florida spoil Kirk Muller’s debut as the Hurricanes’ coach. Tomas Fleischmann also scored and Matthias added an empty-netter for the Southeast Division-leading Panthers. Jose Theodore made 26 saves. Islanders 2, Sabres 1 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Brian Rolston scored the go-ahead goal 9:23 into the third period and Al Montoya stopped 30 shots to send the Islanders to

their second straight road win. Matt Moulson also scored for New York, which opened the season 0-5-2 away from Long Island before starting its fourgame road trip with a 3-2 win at New Jersey on Saturday. Montoya was particularly solid in the third period, when he stopped 14 of the 15 shots he faced. Coyotes 4, Blackhawks 1 CHICAGO — Mike Smith made 24 saves, Ray Whitney had a goal and two assists, and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Chicago Blackhawks. Daymond Langkow, Shane Doan and Radim Vrbata also scored as the Coyotes improved to 7-3-1 on the road. When Whitney scored Phoenix’s second goal in the final period, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville pulled goalie Corey Crawford, who gave up four scores on 21 shots.

Source: Sox STATUS hire Valentine By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

The Boston Red Sox have picked Bobby Valentine to be their next manager and the sides were working to complete a contract, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. Several media Valentine outlets in Boston, citing anonymous sources, reported earlier in the evening that Valentine would be the team’s new manager. The club had no comment, spokesperson Pam Ganley said. Valentine was in Japan this week, where he managed from 2004-09, and said he was about to take off on a flight when he sent the AP a text message at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday saying he had no comment on “the Red Sox situation.” Valentine would succeed Terry Francona, who left after eight seasons following Boston’s record collapse in September. Francona guided the Red Sox to a pair of World Series championships, in 2004 and 2007.

the investigation of child molestation allegations against Fine. Syracuse took charge with an 18-3 run spanning halftime. Southerland scored seven of the points, hitting a fallaway jumper on the baseline, a 3-pointer from the left wing, and converting a resounding slam dunk off a pretty lob pass from Scoop Jardine to give the Orange a 32-24 halftime lead. Jardine started the second half with a jumper from the right wing, then fed Fab Melo with a no-look pass for another dunk. Kris Joseph and Brandon Triche followed with 3-pointers to boost the lead to 42-26 and the Eagles (4-3) were grounded. Triche had 12 points and Joseph 11 for Syracuse. Darrell Lampley led Eastern Michigan (4-2) with 19 points. Some commentators and sex

MULLEN Continued from Page 1B

Growing up, Mullen said he cheered for Penn State and Notre Dame, with his father being a Penn State grad. Mullen himself went to Ursinus College in southeast Pennsylvania, some three hours away from State College. Scheduled to meet with his players later on Tuesday, Mullen said his message to them would be the same.

abuse victims’ advocates had said Boeheim should resign or be fired after three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, accused Fine of molesting them and Boeheim verbally attacked the accusers. After initially saying Fine’s first two accusers were lying to make money in the wake of the Penn State University sexual abuse scandal, Boeheim backed off those comments in a statement Sunday. “What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found,” Boeheim said after the firing of Fine, who has denied the allegations. “I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse.” Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor gave Boeheim a vote of confidence earlier Tuesday after emerging from an eco-

nomic development conference with state officials in Albany. “Coach Boeheim is our coach; he’s getting the team ready tonight,” Cantor said. “We’re very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by it.” Some fans offered their support before Tuesday night’s game. “I feel sorry that he stuck up for a friend,” said 40-year-old Mike Wong of Syracuse. “He was just sticking up for Bernie. He didn’t understand the situation. I think the chancellor did the right thing.” “It’s sad,” added 29-year-old Michael Knowles of Syracuse. “We’ve all stuck up for a friend and then realized we shouldn’t have. He (Boeheim) didn’t do anything wrong.” In its last home game against Colgate 10 days ago, Fine’s customary seat was left vacant and players tapped it as a symbolic gesture in support of Fine. On Tuesday night, there was no empty seat.

“I’m going to tell them the same thing,” Mullen said. “I’m happy here and let’s worry about being here. I’m sure my name’s gonna come up. … Every single job that comes open last year, my name came up with it. “It appears that a lot of them this year… I don’t know, I have people texting me saying someone’s saying this about you or that about you. I’m pretty busy, so I don’t have time to pay much attention.” Mullen’s name was mentioned frequently last offseason when Meyer announced he was step-

ping down at Florida. The Gators eventually hired Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. Mullen was also mentioned in connection with the head job at Miami, which ended up going to former Penn State captain and assistant Al Golden. With that in mind, Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin issued his comment on his Twitter account. “Deja vu ... Everyone take a deep breath and pre-order bowl tickets,” he wrote. “Speculation of this nature is the price of success.”

Lewis paces big school team

By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Wyoming Valley West quarterback Eugene Lewis was selected as the MVP of the Wyoming Valley Conference Football Coaches Association big school all-star team. Lewis, who reaffirmed his verbal commitment to Penn State last week, led WVC Division 4A in rushing with 1,410 yards. His 27 rushing touchdowns led the entire WVC and his 170 points were the second most in the conference. He also rushed and passed for over 1,000 yards each for a second consecutive season. Coughlin running back Joe Parsnik was chosen as the Offensive MVP. Parsnik led WVC Division 3A in rushing with 1,483 yards, the second most in the entire conference. He averaged 8.0 yards per carry and rushed for 18 touchdowns. His 114 points also led Division 3A and were the fifth highest in the WVC. Dallas linebacker Jim Roccograndi was named the Defensive MVP. He led a strong Dallas defense that held eight opponents to 14 points or less. Roccograndi also rushed for over1,000 yards in helping the Mountaineers to a 10-2 record and the Division 3A title. Dallas’ Ted Jackson was selected the big school Coach of the Year by his peers. The team consisted of players from WVC schools that play at either Class 4A or Class 3A.

GAR star selected as small school MVP By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

GAR standout Darrell Crawford led the selections to the Wyoming Valley Conference Football Coaches Association’s small school all-star team. Crawford was selected as the small school MVP after a season where he shined as a quarterback, defensive back and return specialist. Crawford led WVC Division 2A in rushing touchdowns with 24 as he amassed 1,308 yards on the ground despite missing a game. He also threw for 673 yards and nine touchdowns. He also intercepted six passes, returning one for a touchdown, and made 47 tackles. As a returner, he ran back four punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns. Another versatile quarterback, Wyoming Area’s Nick O’Brien, was named the small school Offensive MVP. O’Brien, who also played running back, rushed for 1,204 yards and 23 TDs during the Warriors’ ninegame regular season. He finished with 154 points, second only to Crawford’s 190 WVC-leading total. GAR defensive end Shakir Soto was selected as the Defensive MVP. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound junior, who is already drawing interest from major college programs, led the team with 114 tackles. He also had a team-leading nine sacks and returned an interception for a touchdown. Wyoming Area’s Randy Spencer was named Coach of the Year

Coach let go as Jaguars get sold Del Rio’s 10th season ends early, while team owner announces sale of team. By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are headed in a completely new direction. And Los Angeles doesn’t appear to be the destination. Team owner Wayne Weaver fired longtime coach Jack Del Rio on Tuesday after a 3-8 start and agreed to sell the Jaguars to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan. Weaver named defensive coordinator Mel Tucker the interim coach and gave general manager Gene Smith a threeyear contract extension, putting him in charge of the coaching search. The moves marked the most significant changes for the smallmarket franchise since its inception in 1993. “It’s the right thing at the right time and for the right reasons,” Weaver said. Forbes reported the sale to be worth $760 million. The 77-year-old Weaver had been looking for an “exit strate-

“We can’t have that and we shouldn’t be having that at this time of year,” Coughlin said. “We should be playing much better, much more consistently. We should know who we are. We should be performing much better. That’s the answer I would give. A win would help a lot, no question, and the confidence (would come) and the questions would go away. “Nevertheless, we have to play better. We have to earn that

gy” for years, wanting to find someone to buy the team and keep it in Jacksonville. He had tears in his eyes several times as he announced his impending departure. Khan, 59, believes he is the right choice. “Wayne’s legacy will be lasting, and I will always be grateful for Wayne’s trust and confidence in my commitment to the Jaguars, the NFL and the people of the Jacksonville community,” Khan said in a statement. Born in Pakistan, Khan left home at age 16 to attend the University of Illinois. He graduated in 1971, a year after he started working for Flex-N-Gate Corp. in Urbana, Ill. He purchased the company in 1980. Today, Flex-NGate is a major manufacturer of bumper systems for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles built in North America. Khan tried to purchase controlling interest in the St. Louis Rams last year. His purchase of the Jaguars is subject to NFL approval. League owners will vote to ratify the deal Dec. 14, and if it passes, would become official Jan. 4. The Jaguars could have a new coach in place before then.

Coaches’ spat shows Eagles have some fight

Jaguars interim head coach Mel Tucker, left, listen as general manager Gene Smith answers a question during Tuesday’s news conference. Tucker replaced Jack Del Rio, who was fired Tuesday morning.

“There’s a lot of good things that will happen in the future,” Smith said. Del Rio’s job security had been tenuous since Weaver said the coach needed to make the playoffs to secure a 10th season in Jacksonville. The Jaguars were essentially eliminated with Sunday’s 20-13 loss to AFC Southleading Houston. “It’s the nature of the beast,” tight end Marcedes Lewis said. “Change is good sometimes. Obviously, it’s an unfortunate situation. ... This is the NFL and unfortunate things happen sometimes.” The timing of the move made sense since the Jaguars are struggling to sell tickets and host a Monday night game against San Diego. The team needs to sell about 9,000 tickets to avoid a local television blackout for a prime-time game. Making a coaching change

right.” Coughlin and the coaching staff have pulled highlights from the team’s six wins to show the Giants how well they can play and reminded them that heading into this season they were the NFL’s top road team since 2007. Still, Coughlin said the losing

and the team’s facility while suspended. He did not return messages left with his agent. “As a player, you have to appeal it,” said Detroit defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, the team’s union rep. “I’m sure the NFLPA will be on his side to make sure that he gets a fair hearing.” If the NFL rejects the appeal, Suh will be watching the Lions (7-4) scramble to keep up in the NFC wild-card race after what the league said was his fifth violation of on-field rules in his first two years in the NFL. And everyone saw the latest one. Suh lifted up his right knee and forcibly stepped on Evan Dietrich-Smith’s right arm during the third quarter of the Lions’ 27-15 loss last Thursday in a nationally-televised Thanksgiving Day game. Before the stomp seen from coast to coast, Suh shoved Dietrich-Smith’s helmet toward the turf while separating himself from the Packers player on the ground. It might have hurt Suh’s case when he sounded defiant during his postgame news conference, insisting he didn’t intentionally step on his opponent. After the Lions criticized his conduct Friday, Suh issued an apology to his teammates, organization and fans — not to DietrichSmith — as some around the league said his latest outburst proved he was the NFL’s dirtiest player. “I’ll let him speak for himself when he gets that opportunity, but I’ve had a lot of conversations with him the last two days and I think he is in a different spot,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday. “I think his No. 1 thing is, he didn’t want to be a distraction for the team. He wanted the team to be able to focus on the Saints and he wants to be accountable for his actions.” Earlier this season, the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year requested a meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his play after he drew several penalties and another fine. Suh said he had a better understanding of the rules after that meeting four weeks ago. On Sunday, he called Goodell to apologize but that didn’t appear to help. Lions offensive linemen Dominic Raiola and Rob Sims refused to answer questions about Suh after Tuesday’s practice. Vanden Bosch, though, be-

PHILADELPHIA — Coaches on the Philadelphia Eagles are showing more fight than the players. Defensive line coach Jim Washburn and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg had a heated exchange during Sunday’s loss to New England that required a follow-up talk with head coach Andy Reid. “Things happen. It’s an emotional game,” Reid said Tuesday. “It doesn’t matter if you’re coaches or players, things happen. So you take care of business like grown men. They’ve talked. I’ve talked. They’ve worked it out and we’re fine here.” The Eagles (4-7) have to rebound quickly from a 38-20 loss to the Patriots and get ready for Thursday night’s game at Seattle (4-7). With Philadelphia close to elimination from playoff contention in a season that began with enormous expectations, most of the attention before practice centered on the coaches’ fight. “A couple tempers, you know,” defensive tackle Trevor Laws said. “Jim Washburn’s a fiery guy, no doubt about that. Anybody that’s been following the team all year has probably seen him get in multiple fights, so I don’t know why this thing is such a big deal,

to tell you the truth. “He’s Jim Washburn. He’s a fiery guy with a chip on his shoulder, and he says what’s on his mind. Sometimes he rubs people the wrong way, but to tell you the truth, that attitude is spread down the defensive line and actually improves our play, and I think we’ve kind of been the fiery heart of this team, and I think that’s from Jim Washburn.” Reid dismissed a report that Washburn was angry over Mornhinweg’s playcalling. The argument occurred after the Eagles went three-and-out on three straight passes. “I’m not going to get into it, but that wasn’t the case at all,” Reid said. “It wasn’t an offense versus defense thing.” Washburn is in his first season with the Eagles after working on Jeff Fisher’s staff in Tennessee. Mornhinweg has been with Philadelphia since 2003. Neither coach has spoken to reporters since the incident. “I’d like to tell you it was the first time it’s happened,” Reid said. “This isn’t the first time guys get emotional on the sideline. It’s that type of game. Can it be a good thing? They worked it out, that’s the good thing.” Most players found it amusing. “I think it was blown way out of proportion,” defensive end Jason Babin said.

another collapse in the season’s second half. New York missed the playoffs the past two seasons with dismal performances after eight games and is now 0-3 this year after the midway point. But he is more interested in telling his team what went wrong. “There are reasons why you win and why you don’t,” Coughlin said. “I am trying to get players in better position to win.” And now, here come the punishing Packers, a team that beat the Giants, 45-17, late last season in Green Bay, in what almost was a playoff game for both. “We’re just as interested in taking our best shot as anybody who

gets a chance to play against a very good football team that was world champion a year ago,” Coughlin said. “We are going to prepare as hard as we can and we are going to work as hard as we can. “We do realize the margin is thin and we are going to have to play very well in order to accomplish this. “And we think we can.” NOTES: Defensive end Osi Umenyiora (ankle) and rookie middle linebacker Mark Herzlich (ankle) were both being examined at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City to determine the extent of their injuries.

streak is as frustrating as it is disappointing. “I am struggling to try to answer all the questions in our own minds,” Coughlin said. “We had two outstanding road wins and felt good about our team at that point. We’ve had a couple of setbacks, three setbacks, very dis-

lieves everyone in the locker room supports Suh, who he spoke with on Tuesday. “His biggest regret is the affect it had on the team,” Vanden Bosch said. “It was an unfortunate situation. When you’re on the field, a lot of things happen when you’re playing with so much emotion in such a physical game. It’s difficult to look at the grand scheme of things when you’re in the heat of the moment. “There’s no question he’d like to have the moment back, but he’s dealing with the repercussions of it and we are as well.” The Lions will have a roster exception during Suh’s suspension, meaning they can sign someone to replace him or bolster some other spot on the team. Suh has already been fined three times for roughing up quarterbacks and another time for unsportsmanlike conduct. He leads the league with nine personal fouls since 2010, according to STATS LLC — two more times than teammate Cliff Avril and three more than Philadelphia’s Jason Babin, San Francisco’s Dashon Goldson and Denver’s D.J. Williams. Suh grabbed Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton and threw him to the turf after he had gotten rid of the ball in a preseason game this year. He was docked twice last year for shoving Chicago’s Jay Cutler high in the back and for twisting Cleveland’s Jake Delhomme’s face mask and slamming him to the ground. He also was fined $5,000 during Week 9 in the 2010 season for unsportsmanlike conduct. He has been able to absorb the fines, making $40 million guaranteed with a chance to get paid as much as $68 million in his five-year contract he signed after Detroit drafted the former Nebraska star No. 2 overall in 2010. Suh’s reputation, though, has just taken a big hit and it will cost his team that is clinging to hopes of earning a spot in the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season. “Obviously, it hurts to lose any player for two games much less a player like Ndamukong Suh,” Schwartz said. “But there’s accountability for our actions and that’s a situation where something happened after the whistle. We want to be as tough and physical and play as hard as we can between the snap and whistle, but anything that happens after that we put our team in a bad position and we have to pay the consequences for and that’s the position we’re in right now.”

Weaver gave Del Rio a fouryear extension worth $21 million after Jacksonville won a playoff game following the 2007 season. The team stumbled to a 5-11 finish the following season, and Weaver overhauled the roster but decided to keep Del Rio. Weaver considered firing Del Rio again after last season, but kept him partly because of the uncertainty surrounding the NFL lockout. Weaver refused to give contract extensions to any of Del Rio’s assistants, putting everyone on alert that this was a win-or-else season.

NBA

LeBron excited over basketball, won’t talk details By RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — With hundreds of boxes of food sitting behind them ready to be distributed to Brooklyn families, LeBron James and his famous friends were determined to stay on message. More than two dozen media members crowded around James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul on Tuesday, and question after question came about the NBA with a tentative deal in place to end the lockout. Will Paul leave New Orleans to join Anthony with the Knicks? Are the new rules designed to pre-

vent stars from abandoning smaller-market teams as James and Anthony did? “As far as the ins and outs about the deal, we won’t discuss today,” James said. “We’re going to discuss about how excited I am, how excited we are, about the game of basketball being back and about all the people who have been out of jobs and the fans who have been out of watching basketball for the 140-plus days from the lockout. It’s a great moment for all of us.” Paul can become a free agent after this season, and the new agreement would still allow the

Hornets to send him to another team through a sign-and-trade deal to get something in return if it appears he’s determined to leave. New York has been his long-rumored destination. Paul insisted “my heart is in New Orleans.” “Ah, man, I have no idea about that different type stuff,” he said. “I think right now the thing I’m most focused on is getting all these boxes out of my house in North Carolina and getting everything shipped back to New Orleans so I can get ready for the season.” Paul was in New York — at a

community center in Brooklyn — for this day to help distribute 800 meals to local families through Anthony’s foundation in conjunction with Feed the Children and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “These guys are not even from around here, they don’t even play here, but they came back to somebody else’s community to give back, and I think that should be the topic of discussion today,” Anthony said. No such luck. Anthony was asked about the scandal swirling at his alma mater, Syracuse, where longtime assistant Bernie Fine was fired after

INDIANAPOLIS — Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mack are great friends, but they’ve seen enough of each other. The two ex-Butler stars practiced together at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Tuesday morning, putting in some of their final work before the end of the NBA lockout. Though they have enjoyed working out on their old home court, they are ready for meaningful games. The season is expected to start on Christmas Day. “I’m just excited to get back to work,” Hayward said. “Especially with high schoolers and college guys playing basketball, you

watch it on TV, it makes you want to play.” Hayward and Mack helped Butler reach the national title game in 2010, and Mack helped the Bulldogs reach the national final again in 2011. Hayward averaged 5.4 points per game and shot 47 percent from 3-point range as a rookie for the Utah Jazz last season. Mack, a point guard, was a second-round draft pick by the Washington Wizards in 2011. Both played in the Indy Pro-Am league over the summer. Mack also spent some time practicing with friends in his home state of Kentucky. For the past several weeks, Hayward and Mack have been partners.

“We play a lot of one-on-one games,” Mack said. “It helps my game playing against someone bigger, and it helps his game playing against someone smaller. We’re always pushing each other.” Mack left school early to enter the draft and is happy he’ll have a chance to make the most of that decision. “I’m blessed,” Mack said. “I’m glad I was able to get through this lockout without an injury. This is an opportunity, especially with me not having a contract already. I’m just really excited to get out there.” Mack appreciated the rare time away from basketball.

Dallas. Somebody noted that James’ and Wade’s Heat had longer than normal to stew after losing in the finals. Wade agreed, though Paul interjected: “Not as long as us.” Indeed, the Hornets and Knicks each lost in the first round of the playoffs. “We’re excited about another opportunity,” Wade said of his Miami team that so polarized fans after James and Chris Bosh joined him there. “Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we just get an opportunity to come out every night and put our best team on the court and see what we get.”

molestation allegations and coach Jim Boeheim has heard calls to resign. “My heart goes out to the families. I have no comment about the Fine situation or the Boeheim situation,” Anthony said. “That’s a sensitive situation, a sensitive topic right now that I don’t even want to go into.” NBA players and owners reached a handshake agreement early Saturday, and the four stars said Tuesday they were hopeful their counterparts would vote to approve the deal. Games would start on Christmas, including Boston at New York and Miami at

The merger of Wilkes-Barre-based Penn Millers Holding Corp. into Swissbased ACE American Insurance Co. was approved by shareholders on Tuesday. Penn Millers said in a release that 71.1 percent of outstanding shares were voted at a special meeting and 99.8 percent voted for the merger. Shareholders will receive a cash payment of $20.50 per share; Penn Millers issued stock at $10 per share in October 2009. The merger is expected to close today. In explaining the reasons for seeking a merger, Penn Millers officials noted unexpected claims, difficulty in raising premiums and the expenses associated with being a small public company.

Atlantis resort is sold

By DAVID KOENIG AP Airlines Writer

Global resort company Kerzner International said Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. of Canada to assume ownership of Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and other assets in exchange for taking over $175 million in debt. Brookfield would also take over ownership of the One & Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island and the company’s stake in the One & Only Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. Kerzner would continue to manage Atlantis.

DALLAS, Texas — The parent company of American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday, seeking relief from crushing debt caused by high fuel prices and expensive labor contracts that its competitors shed years ago. The company also replaced its CEO, and the incoming leader said American would probably cut its flight schedule “modestly” while it reorganizes. American said its frequent-flier program would be unaffected. American had discontinued daily flights to Chicago from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International on Nov. 17.

By ALEX KOWALSKI Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Residential real estate prices dropped more than forecast in the year ended September, showing the industry at the center of the 2008 financial crisis continues to struggle. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities dropped 3.6 percent in September from the same month in 2010 after decreasing 3.8 percent in the year ended August, the group said Tuesday in New York. Unemployment at 9 percent, tight lending standards and a looming supply of distressed properties that may drag down home values further will probably keep hurting housing demand into next year. Sliding prices have left some people with loans that exceed the value of their properties, preventing them from boost-

United, which combined with Continental, and Delta, which bought Northwest. In announcing the bankruptcy filing, AMR said that Gerard Arpey, a veteran of the company for almost three decades and CEO since 2003, had stepped down and was replaced by Thomas W. Horton, the company president. With reductions to the flight schedule, Horton said there would probably be corresponding job cuts. For travelers, American said it would continue to operate flights, honor tickets and take reservations. The company will delay the spinoff of its regional airline, American Eagle, which

AMR Corp., which owns American, was one of the last major U.S. airline companies that had avoided bankruptcy. Competitors used bankruptcy to shed costly labor contracts, unburden themselves of debt and start making money again. Delta was the last major airline to file for bankruptcy protection, in 2005. American — the nation’s third-largest airline and proud of an 80-year history that reaches back to the dawn of passenger travel — was stuck with higher costs and had to match its competitors’ lower fares or lose passengers. American was the biggest airline in the world in 2008, but has been surpassed by

CRUDE OIL $99.79

TRENTON, N.J. — Lipitor is so valuable that its maker, Pfizer Inc., is practically paying people to keep taking the blockbuster cholesterol medicine after generic competition hits the U.S. market this week. Pfizer has devised discounts and incentives for patients, insurers and companies that process prescriptions that will, at least for the next six months, make the brand name drug about as cheap as or cheaper than the generics. Pfizer also has spent tens of millions of dollars this year on marketing to keep patients on Lipitor, which loses patent protection today. Normally when a drug’s patent ends, generic rivals grab nearly all its market share in a year or less, and the original maker quietly shifts focus to its newer products. Pfizer, the world’s biggest drugmaker, is not giving up that easily on the best-selling drug in history. Lipitor had peak sales of about $13 billion and still brings in nearly $11 billion a year, about a sixth of Pfizer’s revenue. With no new blockbusters to fill that hole, the company is making an unprecedented push to hang onto Lipitor revenue as long as possible. Pfizer’s strategy is cunning and could become the new norm, as most other drugmakers also face generic competition to top-selling medicines and haven’t been coming up with replacements. While generic medicines work the same as brand drugs for nearly everyone, some patients prefer the brand. Pfizer also is continuing assistance programs that subsidize uninsured patients wanting Lipitor, which costs about $115 to $160 a month, depending on dosage. Generic Lipitor, called atorvastatin, should cost 30 percent to 50 percent less. NATURAL GAS $3.63

Today’s weather will be a wake-up call to remind us that the calendar is correct, and that the weather once again is more appropriate for this time of year. In fact, today will be nearly 20 degrees colder than the past 2 days. Despite this change, November will likely still end up being the 4th warmest on record. There is no evidence to suggest we will soon have to pay for all the warm weather this month, at least not in the near term. Perhaps winter will be delayed this year. But since December has a stormy reputation, winter may be closer than you think. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER RAY FEIST RUSTIC KITCHEN AT MOHEGAN SUN

Trade turkey for this tasty seafood stew SO LAST WEEK everyone consumed the beloved bird, the turkey. I’d like to let ya’ll know that I helped one move from Bradford County into my freezer the other week, before I crossed the Mason-Dixon line to find seawater in the air, dolphins swimming, and sand beneath my feet. I know how much turkey my father can consume but I’m not sure about every one of you. Take a break from the turkey salad, turkey casserole, or turkey leftovers whatever which way. This seafood stew is easy, simple, and filling. The flavor is going to come from cooking the shellfish as well as the sausage you put into it. Barley pilaf is going to accompany it and the mushrooms you choose to add to it will boost its flavor. The size of the scallops, 10-20, means it takes 10 to 20 of them to make up one pound.

ife is sweet, especially considering a batch of home-baked cookies can still make someone’s day. Butter and sugar prices may give some bakers pause this holiday season. Don’t let them. We’ve scoured through the new batch of cookbooks and baked up a selection of cookies with an eye on tight food budgets. One recipe requires no butter, another uses shortening, one is light on sugar, and some don’t skimp at all.

See COOKIES, Page 2C

PETITS FOURS DE NOEL Makes about 100 This recipe, also from “One Sweet Cookie,” is also from Andre Soltner. Ingredients 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 3 ounces candied orange peel (optional) 8 ounces ground almonds Grated zest of 1 lemon 3 small eggs 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface 1 egg beaten with a little cold water

Instructions: Cream butter and sugar. Add cinnamon, candied orange peel, almonds, lemon zest and three eggs and mix thoroughly. Add flour and knead until you have a smooth paste. Enclose dough in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator overnight, or up to two to three days. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a pastry sheet and dust it with flour. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Combine scraps and roll and cut again. Arrange cutouts on the pastry sheet. Brush them with beaten egg. Bake until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

••• Don’t let the higher prices of sugar and butter stop your holiday cookie baking. Shown are, clockwise from back left, petits fours de noel, sweet-surplus-of-chocolate, oatmeal raisin, molasses construction, petits fours a l’anise, triple chocolate cookies (with walnuts) and almond crescents.

For the stew: 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined 20 mussels 8 scallops, 10-20’s 24 littleneck clams 1 pound sausage 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced 1 bulb fennel, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and sliced 2 stalks celery, cleaned and sliced 1 quart chicken stock Finishing Butter: 2 tablespoons chopped basil 2 tablespoons chopped chives 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 ⁄2 pound unsalted butter Don’t let anything in this recipe scare you. When you purchase the seafood, buy frozen shrimp. The ones you see in the counter will most likely be refreshed anyway. The scallops should be fresh and smell sweet and a tiny bit salty. Any strong odors coming from them, just pass them by. The mussels and clams should be tightly closed. The sausage you choose to use is up to you. I recommend either an Andouille sausage that has some spice or anything smoked to add some flavor. The vegetables are all rough-chopped. Just hack away and they will be perfect. Get the chicken stock into a large pot and bring to a boil. Look below to the instructions to begin the barley pilaf and get that going. Once it boils, add the clams and mussels and cover. It will take 3-7 minutes for them to open. Once they do, remove and add the scallops and shrimp. Don’t let them boil. Cook them until 95 percent done, about 4-6 minutes, and remove. Add the vegetables and sausage and let them simmer 15-20 minutes or until tender. Then add the butter and herb mixture plus the seafood back into the pot to reheat.

Barley Pilaf 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄4 cup diced white onion 1 pound mushrooms, preferably shiitake, chopped 1 ⁄4 cup garlic 1 pint stock 2 and 1⁄2 to 3 cups barley Heat large pot and add the butter. Sauté garlic, onion and mushrooms for a few minutes. Add stock and barley. Season with salt and black pepper and cook 16-20 minutes. Barley is a strange creature. It will keep plumping with liquid. I like mine with a tiny bit of a bite, but cook it as you see fit. If it gets dry before its cooked, just add a cup of water at a time until you are satisfied. To serve: Place a scoop of barley into a bowl and divide the seafood into appropriate servings. Ladle the vegetables and broth into the bowl and enjoy.

PETITS FOURS A L’ANISE Makes about 100 cookies This recipe, from “One Sweet Cookie: Celebrated Chefs Share Favorite Recipes,” by Tracey Zabar (Rizzoli, $30), is from Andre Soltner of the French Culinary Institute. When you bake these cookies, they rise a little and look like mushrooms. Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon whole anise seeds 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for flouring pastry sheets Unsalted butter for pastry sheets Instructions: Butter pastry sheets and dust with flour. Put sugar and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix for about 10 minutes on high speed, until a ribbon forms when a whisk is inserted and lifted from the mixture. Add the anise seeds and beat for a few minutes more, until the seeds are blended. By hand, with a spatula, gently fold in the flour. Put this dough in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip. Pipe dough onto the pastry sheets, forming circles 3/4-inch across. Let them dry overnight, or at least four hours, at room temperature. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Bake cookies for about 10 minutes.

— In a Quandary

Dear In a Quandary: May I mention a third reason that marriages break up? It’s when one spouse discovers that the other has been cheating. If your marriage to Raymond, who has endowed you with all the worldly goods he can, is of any importance to you, tell him that all of your needs are not being met. Give him a chance to fulfill the rest of them. Dear Abby: It has been a difficult year. The brother of one of my dear

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

friends had a massive stroke and she is now his caretaker. Another friend’s 15-year-old son recently committed suicide, and a third friend’s 23-yearold daughter is in the late stages of MS. I also have several friends who are dealing with cancer. I always feel lost about what to say or how to reach out and help. How do I respond in these situations? — Hurting For My Friends Dear Hurting: The way to respond is to do for them what you would hope someone would do for you in similar circumstances. Call your friends regularly and keep them informed about what’s going on. Ask how they are doing. If they need to vent, listen.Offer to cook them a meal or give them a few hours to run errands by keeping

their sick relative company. Dear Abby: I am a 20-year-old mother of a 1-year-old boy who means the world to me. I was raped two months ago and recently learned that I am pregnant. I am scared to death of telling my mother. When my son was born, his father left for his tour of duty in Iraq and I moved in with her. She is 57 and has helped me out in every way she can since he was killed on his mission. I don’t know what I would do without her, but I am at a loss about how to tell her about this pregnancy. Your advice would be appreciated. — Scared to Death Dear Scared To Death: Your mother should have been told about the rape

when it happened. You should have also informed the police, and received counseling and emergency contraception and medication to prevent an STD. If you haven’t seen an OB/GYN, schedule an appointment immediately to ensure that the baby you’re carrying will be born healthy. You also need to tell your mother before your pregnancy becomes obvious, so the two of you can decide whether you can afford to raise another child or if you should place the child for adoption. Please don’t wait. 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). You are more or less used to making people fall in love with you, and you will do this yet again. It’s not a conscious effort, to be sure. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re willing to face the truth about a situation, but you’re so close to the scene that you probably won’t be able to see it until another person points it out. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Change means more than wishing a situation were different. Then again, probably nothing will change — and nothing ever has. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll share less than perfect parts of yourself to create rapport. “People who don’t have embarrassing stories are untrustworthy. Or at the very least, they aren’t telling the truth.” — Suzanne Guillette LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many interests, and it will be quite easy to follow them around all over the Internet, in the library or through the city — and perhaps all three. Sooner or later, you have to get down to work, though it will probably be “later.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you feel like you’ve been there and done it all. But you haven’t. So shake off the “jaded” dust, and get willing to see life anew. It just may glitter for you today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Who celebrates you? Someone does. And if no one comes to mind right now, it’s a sign that maybe you should start the trend by celebrating yourself. After all, you’ve done a lot for people lately.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You must remember to follow up on the important details. Of course, the best way is to write them down. You might lose the paper you wrote them on, but you’ll remember the motion of writing and what you wrote. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you have ever wanted to reach out to someone you hardly knew but felt a strong connection to, this is the right time. You have powerful tools at your fingertips, and you’ll use them well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You once tried to avoid smooth talkers, and now you’ll be one. What’s wrong with knowing what you have and selling it to the highest bidder? As long as you strongly believe in the product, your pitch will succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be more proud of yourself for completing a hard job than you’ll be for finishing an easy one. That’s why you’re likely to choose tasks that challenge your ability. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Deep meditation and spiritual practice will inspire the imagination. So will comic books. Your best bet is a blend of “high” and “low.” And who is to say which is which? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 30). You plan well, though your year is dotted by exhilarating and unpredictable circumstances. Next month, something shiny and new replaces what was broken or worn. Spring brings heightened idealism and spirituality. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 31, 24 and 28.
