State police at Wyoming allege Yuknavich stole $11,865 from the township fire department’s bank account between October 2008 and August 2010, and used the fire department’s credit card at Sam’s Club in the amount of $3,706 for personal purchases.

Yuknavich stole $11,865 from the township fire department’s bank account between October 2008 and August 2010, and used the fire department’s credit card at Sam’s Club in the amount of $3,706 for personal purchases. Township Mayor Carl Kuren said he hopes there is better accountability of township donations to the fire department in the future. “At our meeting last night (Monday), I made a statement that I want to meet with the new council and administration to establish policies in dealing with the fire department,” Kuren said.

WILKES-BARRE – Immediately after a one-year restraining order was issued against John Paul Yuknavich on Tuesday, state police arrested the Wilkes-Barre Township fire chief on charges he stole thousands of dollars from the public safety bureau he directed. Yuknavich, 48, of East Northampton Street, Wilkes-Barre Township, also is facing a drunken driving charge filed Monday that alleged his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit while he was driving in Plains Township last month.

NANTICOKE – Tom Leary’s contract as president at Luzerne County Community College was renewed by an 11-2 vote at a meeting of the board of trustees Tuesday, showing apparent confidence in the four-year president despite

problems at the college this year. After the vote, Leary thanked the trustees and promised stuLeary dents “the college will continue to provide an education that is both affordable and accessible.” The contract is for two years but automatically renews if no action is taken by trustees in 2013. There

is a termination provision that allows trustees to end the contract with 90 days notice, though Leary would get either the remaining pay due for the length of the contract or 10 months salary, whichever is less. Before voting against the contract, Trustee Michael Tigue said he felt it was a four-year contract being billed as a two-year contract because of the automatic renewal clause.

SHICKSHINNY BOROUGH COUNCIL

$261,000 FEMA grant on way

Council also hears that plans to raze flood-damaged Wells Fargo Bank are still on track. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

SHICKSHINNY – Borough council’s flood recovery effort received some good news on Tuesday night when Councilman Mike Steeber announced he has been told that a $261,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be coming Shickshinny’s way soon after Dec. 14. Steeber said the borough is the first community in the state to be accorded what he termed as upfront funding from FEMA. The money, he added, can be distributed or utilized as council deems appropriate. Steeber’s comments came on the heels of some other good news for borough residents: 2011 tax rates will be maintained in a proposed $501,000 budget that is scheduled to be adopted at a special meeting Dec. 20 at 9 a.m. Income will come from a .9145 mill property tax, .2145 mills for street lights, a $35 local services tax and a 1/2 percent wage tax. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property valuation. Also, after a motion by Councilman Garry Morris, council voted unanimously to apply for a grant from the U.S. Department

of Agriculture that is intended to be disbursed to businesses seeking to recover from the September flooding. Melissa Weber, secretary-treasurer, submitted that USDA will possibly extend $100,000 although it was proposed by Morris that the borough needs $215,000. Weber said she believes $100,000 is an amount allowed by USDA. She added that if the grant is obtained, council in turn can loan the money at a proposed minimal interest rate of 1/2 percent. There was, however, some more bad news on the Wells Fargo Bank Building at Union and Main Street. Rick Harmon, zoning officer, and Solicitor Jeff Malak said that at a meeting conducted Monday, bank officials were adamant in their announced decision to demolish the structure. Harmon said the bank has filed an initial application to have Umbriac Demolition of Hazleton tear the building down. Malak said, “Despite the best efforts” of borough officials, “it is my impression the bank will entertain no other option but demolition.” Council President Rosalie Whitebread has suggested the structure be sustained as a community landmark, thereby also extending a guarantee to Wells Fargo that no other banking institution would be permitted to do business there.

Harmon, however, opined that council can try to prolong the process by proposing other options, but in the long run the “bank wants it torn down.” Well Fargo, after demolition, has a plan to convert the lot into a “green area” containing an automatic teller machine It was also announced that the Shickshinny Long-Term Recovery Team has scheduled a workshop on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Northwest Area High School to receive public input on community renewal. Terry Hughes, committee chairman, said the meeting is “an opportunity for anyone who cares about Shickshinny to come together and share a vision for moving forward.” Council also: • Retained David Lance as solicitor for the zoning hearing board. • Acted to buy 22 tons of road salt and 22 tons of cinders for the street department. • Discussed a surface water problem on West Butler Street that could cause problems during the winter months, but is viewed by council as an issue for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation because Butler Street is a state road. Whitebread offered her thanks to individuals who contributed toward the holiday display at the park adjacent to the borough building.

EXETER BOROUGH COUNCIL

Special meeting ahead on Walmart plans By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER -- What was once a regular point of contention was again discussed at length during Tuesday’s regular Borough Council meeting. The council will hold a special meeting next week to possibly approve Walmart’s plans to make adjustments to Wyoming Avenue in preparation for the big-box store that will soon be built in the borough. The exact date for the meeting has not yet been determined but borough officials hope to hold it on Monday or Tuesday. Representatives from Walmart and Penn Eastern Engineering, formerly Pasonick Engineering, will also have to be at the meeting. Council Member Richard Murawski said the possible changes include a new traffic light at the intersection of Wyoming Avenue and Trayor Street. Other areas of concern are the Wyoming Avenue intersections at Penn Avenue, and Schooley and Lincoln streets going northbound. Several residents said they were concerned about the parking spaces that might be lost within Exeter’s business district. Len Coleman was worried that as many as 22 parking spaces might be lost within the business district. He also asked about what notice the public will be given as to when the meeting will be held and what the specific nature of the changes will be. Coleman said he had earlier attended a similar meeting in Wyoming Borough and noticed that many residents were upset because they felt they were underinformed before Wyoming’s council members approved traffic changes. Murawski confirmed the upcoming meeting will be open to residents and publicly advertised. In response to questions about the objectivity of the traffic study used to determine the traffic changes, Murawski said the changes are being recommended by Walmart, but associates from Penn Eastern Engineering have reviewed and approved of the traffic study. Resident Larry Dellegrotto said the council was rushing to approve the changes and urged other residents to attend the special meeting. In other business, Mayor Cassandra Coleman praised Murawski for his 20 years of service on the council. Tuesday was his last official regular meeting. With 13 of those 20 years being spent as the council chairman, Murawski pointed to the 1991

sewer modernization project as a major accomplishment that allowed the borough to expand and grow. “I might be done with council, but I’m not going anywhere,” Murawski said. “I’m a lifelong member of Exeter Borough and I’m a business owner in the community. I’m going to continue to help (the members of council) as

much as I am able.” In another matter, it was announced that the fire department will host Santa Claus in the Wildflower Development on Saturday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m. Santa will then parade through the town the following say at noon. The next regular meeting of council will be Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m.

Casino fined $80,000

he Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Tuesday fined Mohegan T Sun at Pocono Downs $80,000 for two

incidents of allowing underage patrons to gamble. The fine was the result of a consent agreement between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and Downs Racing L.P., operator of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, and stemmed from two incidents. • On Oct. 28, 2010, a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old man entered the gaming floor and remained for about two hours, during which time they played blackjack at various tables. • On Jan. 2, 2011, a 20-year-old man accessed the gaming floor and remained for about 3 1/2 hours, during which time he played a slot machine and participated in blackjack games. He also was served three bottles of beer. This was the second consent agreement between the gaming control board and Downs Racing involving underage gaming since its Category 1 slot machine operator license was renewed in September 2009. Under that December 2010 consent agreement, Downs Racing was assessed a $47,000 fine for three underage gaming incidents.

New store to open this spring. Previous Wine & Spirits Shop in area closed last April.

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The news was welcomed by one area resident as an early Christmas gift. “We felt like the red-headed stepchild up here in Mountain Top,” joked Joe Zakowski. “We started feeling like we did something wrong to anger the state Liquor Control people and would have to travel down the mountain forever to obtain our favorite wine.” He said for rural, sparsely populated areas to not have a liquor store is one thing, but for a 69-square-mile region like Mountain Top to go without one was something else. “It was so inconvenient. That’s the best word to describe it. It’s not the end of the world, but living in an area like Mountain Top, to not have a wine store was unheard of.” The region known as Mountain Top

Mountain Top to get liquor store WRIGHT TWP. – Residents of Mountain Top will soon be able to buy their wine and spirits without leaving the mountain. The state’s Liquor Control Board voted 3-0 Tuesday to move forward with a lease agreement with Weis Markets to open a liquor store very close to the location of the liquor store that closed in April. A spring of 2012 opening is likely, a board spokeswoman said. Since the closing, which was necessitated by Weis’ expansion of its grocery store, people who live in the Mountain Top area have had to travel to WilkesBarre Township, Hazleton, White Haven or Nanticoke to purchase wine or spirits.

includes the townships of Rice, Wright, Fairview and Dennison, and had a liquor store along Route 309 since the 1970s. Wright Township Supervisor Dan Frascella said residents complained to supervisors when the store closed in April, causing them to travel to a neighboring community to buy spirits, even though that board has no say in the decision. When Weis Markets expanded its Mountain Top store earlier this year, it ended its lease with the state for a 2,300square-foot Wine and Spirits Shop that operated in the Weis Plaza. In its space went the grocer’s dairy department. The Sunbury-based grocer owns the entire 67,165-square-foot plaza where the supermarket is located, and the state continued negotiating with the grocer

City issues $3.9M note

City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance to issue a general obligation note for up to $3.9 million to satisfy several bills that are awaiting federal and/or state reimbursement. City Council members Kathy Kane, Mike Merritt and Rick Cronauer approved the ordinance on second reading. Councilmen Tony Thomas Jr. and Bill Barrett were absent. Marie McCormick, city administrator, said $1 million will be used for expenses from the flood of 2006 and another $1 million for expenses from the flood of 2011. Both will be reimbursed through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, she said. McCormick said $1 million will be used for the Coal Street Park renovation project, with reimbursement to come from the state. Another $800,000 will be used for the Intermodal Transportation Center and will be reimbursed by the state. The additional $100,000 is required for issuance costs, McCormick said. The city expects all funds to be reimbursed before the first interest payment is due next May. SCRANTON

Sterling jury didn’t meet

A federal grand jury that is investigating the Hotel Sterling project and other matters did not meet on Tuesday as expected. The grand jury, which sits in Scranton, generally meets every Tuesday to hear evidence presented by federal prosecutors in a variety of cases. The panel was scheduled to meet on Griffith Tuesday, but the session was postponed for an unknown reason. Luzerne County officials have confirmed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office has subpoenaed all records the county has regarding the project. An agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation picked up the records on Monday. County officials said they do not know what aspect of the project is being investigated. County Controller Walter Griffith said he believes the probe is focusing on $6 million the county loaned CityVest, the non-profit organization that headed the failed efforts to develop the landmark hotel.

for another location in the plaza. Weis spokesman Dennis Curtin said the outcome is a win-win situation. “We’re very pleased that the PLCB will remain a tenant in our Mountain Top center. Their larger store will increase the overall convenience of our shopping plaza.” The sides finalized the deal with Tuesday’s unanimous vote, entering into a five-year lease for the former Movie Gallery location just to the east of where the old liquor store had been located. Even though the new storefront is 1,500 square feet larger than the old one, the expanded floor space will not mean expanded hours or selection. An LCB spokeswoman said the new store would not be a Premium Selections store, meaning no Sunday hours.

SCRANTON – A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged Luzerne County Children and Youth Services thwarted his efforts to gain custody of his daughter due to a bias agency workers have against men as single fathers. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo said Fred Clayworth had failed to present evidence that the caseworkers involved acted with a level of gross negligence or arbitrariness that “shocks the conscience,” which is the legal standard he must meet for the case to proceed. Clayworth, of Edwardsville, filed suit against the agency in February, alleging officials refused to give him custody of his daughter because they had a bias in favor of a foster family -- whom they believed would be better parents -- that wished to adopt her. The child had been placed in foster care by the biological mother, who was separated from Clayworth, without his knowledge shortly after she was born in 2004. Once he learned of the placement, Clayworth sought custody, but was de-

PLYMOUTH – The idea of throwing money to the ceiling really stuck at the VFW Post 1425 home. Clyde Peters started the campaign at the end of September to raise money for the Toys for Tots program. With less than a week remaining in the cam-

paign, Peters said more than $800 has been tacked to the ceiling at the VFW. “We’ll be able to buy a lot of toys this year,” Peters said. “And there are a lot more families in need because of the flooding we had.” Peters said he and other volunteers at the VFW will take the money down from the ceiling starting Sunday.

Woman testifies Pittston man subjected her to 7 years of inappropriate contact By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – For a seven-year period, a now-22-year-old woman testified Tuesday, a Pittston man had inappropriate contact with her, including forcing her to engage in sexual activity. “He would kiss me and he would tell me he was my boyfriend,” the woman testified in the first day of a trial being held in Luzerne County Court for Albert Chase, 33, of Susquehanna Avenue. The woman testified that beginning when she was 8 years old and continuing until she was 15, Chase would at first touch her inappropriately, but that the contact the two had progressed to

where, at one point, the woman said, the two were having sex on an almost daily basis. A Luzerne County jury of nine men and four women, including one alternate, were selected Monday to hear the case. They will be tasked with deciding Chase’s fate on four counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, two counts of rape, two counts of aggravated indecent assault and one count of terroristic threats. Luzerne County Senior Judge Kenneth Brown is presiding over the trial. Assistant District Attorney Jenny Roberts is prosecuting the case, while Chase is represented by attorney Nanda Palissery.

The woman testified she didn’t tell anyone until she was about 15 years old because she didn’t know if the actions were right or wrong and because Chase told her he loved her and would “do anything for” her. The woman said Chase would use protection during sex to ensure she would not become pregnant, and that he often gave her a “Plan B” pill, an emergency contraceptive, if he became “scared.” Chase would get angry and violent if she didn’t do what he asked, she testified, and he had told her he would “put my feet in cement and throw me in the Susquehanna River … so no one would

find me.” Chase gave her gifts, including stuffed animals and jewelry, as well as computer equipment, and controlled the things she did after school and the clothing she wore. Palissery questioned the woman at length Tuesday, saying she had plenty of opportunities to report the alleged abuse, and that even though she accuses Chase of the abuse, she still reached out to him in emergencies before anyone else. Chase was originally charged in October 2009 when the woman reported the abuse to the police.

LEARY Continued from Page 1A

Elaine Cook said she felt the initial raise – $12,660, bringing Leary’s salary to $155,000 – was too high. “We are looking at people who are on Social Security who just got small increases, after getting no increases for a few years,” Cook said, “and we are talking about giving him nearly a 10 percent raise.” Otherwise, Cook said, she felt Leary did deserve the twoyear chance to turn the college around. After the two-year extension, which would keep Leary in office to Dec. 11, 2015, the contract allows an automatic renewal unless the board acts to terminate it each year indefinitely. While the initial raise is large, there are no other built-in raises. Instead, the contract calls for increases “as approved by the board from time to time,” not to exceed 3 percent per year. The contract gives Leary 20 vacation days, three personal days and 18 sick days per year. Personal and sick days cannot be accumulated. The renewal comes in a year when the college was put on probation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the agency that accredits colleges, and when enrollment has dropped by more than 5 percent. The college is also struggling financially thanks to the loss of $1.2 million in federal stimulus money that helped plug budget holes last year.

nied even though he had no history of substance abuse, violence or criminal behavior, according to the lawsuit. Clayworth eventually prevailed in getting a judge to award him custody, but it took 4½ years. That caused significant emotional harm to both him and the child, the suit alleged. In dismissing the suit, Caputo noted the courts have long held that authorities must have “reasonable” evidence to support their suspicion a child is in danger to remove them from a parent.

ford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Peters said the idea of sticking money in the ceiling was well received by the VFW membership. “People really liked the idea,” he said. “They even told their friends to come down and throw some money away. It’s for a great cause.” Peters said he will push the event all week, hoping to reach the $1,000 mark. “There seems to be a lot more families in need this year,” Peters said. “We’re happy to be able to help out in some small way.” Peters, the youngest of 17

children, knows about helping people. On Thanksgiving Day in 1968, Peters saved the life of a fellow soldier who was hit in the chest by an enemy bullet. Peters threw him on his shoulder and headed to safety. While he was running with the wounded soldier on his back, Peters was hit. Peters also spearheaded the drive to erect a Vietnam Memorial in his hometown honoring seven young men from Plymouth who were killed in the war and all those who fought there. The Plymouth VFW was established in 1938.

unless a parent can show the decision was improper and went beyond mere negligence or deliberate indifference. In Clayworth’s case, Caputo said the agency was weighing the interests of the child against Clayworth’s interest in gaining custody of her. In doing so, it had to consider all factors that would affect the child’s best interest. “Whether Clayworth had abused or was likely to abuse his daughter are not the only relevant factors in determining whether he should be awarded custody,” Caputo said. “From the pleadings there are no averments that would suggest that, in declining to award Clayworth custody, any of the caseworkers acted in such an arbitrary manner as to shock the

conscience.” Clayworth’s attorney, Barry Dyller, vowed Tuesday to appeal Caputo’s ruling to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Dyller said he respects Caputo, but believes the judge improperly interpreted the law and acted prematurely in dismissing the case before Clayworth had the opportunity to question caseworkers, which would have provided proof of his allegations of bias. “The question in a motion to dismiss is whether we put forth enough factual allegations to indicate a constitutional violation. I say we did,” Dyller said. “You can’t take children from a perfectly competent parent because you believe a foster parent would be a better parent.”

Preliminary hearing for Sandusky next week

Lawyer reveals new accuser

CHICAGO

Blago lawyers admit guilt

Blagojevich’s attorneys admitted R odTuesday for the first time that the

former Illinois governor is guilty of corruption, saying at his sentencing hearing that he accepts the verdicts against him but the prison term requested by prosecutors is too harsh. Those comments are in stark contrast to Blagojevich’s public statements, in which he adamantly maintained his innocence through two trials since his arrest three years ago. Attorney Sheldon Sorosky told Judge James Zagel that it was illegal for Blagojevich to ask for a job for himself in exchange for his naming of a replacement for President Obama in the U.S. Senate. Zagel, who has said he’ll pronounce a sentence today, said earlier that Blagojevich was clearly the ringleader of the schemes for which he was convicted, and lied about his actions on the witness stand.

STATE COLLEGE — A 19year-old man has filed a complaint with state police alleging he was sexually abused by Jerry Sandusky after the former coach gave him liquor on the Penn State campus in 2004, the accuser’s lawyer said Tuesday. Charles Schmidt said the client, whom he did not identify, came to his law firm about three weeks ago, after Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing eight children over a 15-year period. “He suffered one incident of abuse, to use the legal term — involuntary deviate sexual intercourse — allegedly at the hands of Mr. Sandusky,” Schmidt said. “That occurred on the Penn State campus, we believe in the area of the football facilities.” Joseph Amendola, Sandusky’s lawyer, said he was not familiar with the allegations Schmidt was making. The new claim came the same day a lawyer for a different young man who accused Sandusky of sexual abuse said he expects his client and at least five other alleged victims

to testify at a preliminary hearing next week. The lawyer said he has information that the six young men whose testimony before a grand jury contributed to a report detailing allegations against Sandusky will be called to testify next Tuesday. The attorney spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he said he is trying to ensure his client’s identity isn’t revealed publicly. Sandusky is charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse

and prosecutors allege he met his victims through The Second Mile, a charity he founded in 1977 to help at-risk children. Sandusky, 67, denies being a pedophile and has vowed to fight the charges. In interviews with NBC and The New York Times, he has said he showered and horsed around with boys but never sexually abused them. The existence of Schmidt’s client was first reported by WHP-TV in Harrisburg. Schmidt told The Associated Press that his client was 12-

years old, dealing with the death of his mother and suffering emotional issues at the time of the single, alleged incident on the campus. The lawyer said the two met through The Second Mile and his client claims Sandusky gave him liquor while in the office on campus. The grand jury report did not allege any instances of Sandusky giving boys alcohol. Schmidt said his law firm is conducting its own investigation into the client’s claims. “We hope to have it wrapped up within another week. We believe him to be credible,” Schmidt said. “Everything that we’ve been able to unearth since has corroborated what he told us, but we’ll continue to do our due diligence.” The preliminary hearing next Tuesday, at which a judge would determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to take the case to trial, could last a day or more since the defense has the right to cross-examine the state’s witnesses. The state attorney general’s office would not comment on the evidence authorities plan to offer to show probable cause the crimes occurred.

DEMOCRACY OR THE DARK SIDE IN RUSSIA?

BEIRUT

Bodies in Syrian city Dozens of bodies were dumped in the streets of a Syrian city at the heart of the country’s nearly 9-month-old uprising, a grim sign that sectarian bloodshed is escalating as the country descends further toward civil war. The discovery in the streets of Homs came as the United States stepped up pressure Tuesday on the regime of President Bashar Assad to end its crackdown on the anti-government protests. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met in Geneva with Syrian opposition figures and Washington said it was sending its ambassador back to Damascus. Up to 50 people were killed in Homs on Monday, but details about what happened in Syria’s third-largest city only came to light Tuesday with reports of retaliatory attacks pitting members of the Alawite sect against Sunnis.

All the while, federal authorities say, the couple was collecting tens of thousands of dollars in welfare. Now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is suing David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova, accusing them of filing false claims and demanding that the couple pay back more than $135,000 in federal housing assistance since 2003. Prosecutors are also seeking tens of thousands of dollars in fines. READING, PA.

610 area code tops gripes An eastern Pennsylvania area code leads the state in the number of telemarketing complaints. The Reading Eagle has reported the 610 area code has lodged more complaints with the Federal Trade Commission than any of Pennsylvania’s eight other area codes since 2007. Part of the reason may be that the area code has more numbers registered on the federal Do Not Call list than any other Pennsylvania region. There are 1.6 million Do Not Call registrations in the 610 area code, which includes Allentown, Bethlehem, Reading and parts of the Philadelphia suburbs. Those folks filed 56,000 complaints since 2007. FTC officials said most nuisance calls are made to home phones because the law prevents telemarketers from using automatic dialers to call cellphones.

Obama calls for fairness

President summons memory of Teddy Roosevelt; Bachmann confident she’ll win in Iowa. The Associated Press

OSAWATOMIE, Kan. — President Barack Obama delivered a sweeping indictment of economic inequality in the U.S. on Tuesday as he summoned the memory of President Theodore Roosevelt and pledged to fight for fairness at a “make or break moment for the middle class.” Only a month before Republican voters begin choosing a presidential nominee, Obama traveled to small-town Osawatomie, Kan., where Roosevelt delivered his “New Obama Nationalism” address in 1910, to embrace the progressive reformer’s calls for a “square deal” for regular Americans. Obama warned of the unraveling of the American dream, and called for giving hurting middleclass workers a fair shake and restoring financial security — themes he’s certain to return to throughout the 2012 campaign. Taking aim at Republicans, Obama said: “Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. Well, I’m here to say they are wrong.” In the Republican campaign on Tuesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann said she still thinks she has a good chance of winning the Iowa Republican caucuses, saying presidential campaign rivals Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney “have significant flaws.” Bachmann said in a nationally broadcast interview that she, more than her rivals, personifies the kind of conservative values Iowa Republicans want, and said she believes “we’re going to be shocked on Jan. 3 when we see the results.” Bachmann commented at a time when polls continue to show her in the lower tier of candidates vying to challenge President Obama next year. She accused both Gingrich and Romney of being supporters of “Obamacare,” and said that both backed the government bailout of financial institutions. The Minnesota Republican asserted that Romney had reversed his position on “life” issues and said that both Romney and Gingrich “are flawed candidates.”

Kabul carnage sparks fear of sectarian strife By RAHIM FAIEZ and DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — In Afghanistan’s first major sectarian assault since the fall of the Taliban regime a decade ago, a suicide bomber slaughtered 56 Shiite worshippers and wounded more than 160 others Tuesday outside a Shiite shrine in the capital. The body of a woman, clutching a dead child in each arm, was sprawled along a dirt road littered with shoes, bloodstained clothing, hats and body parts after the blast, which took place as a bombing that killed four Shiites in the northern city of Mazar-iSharif. A loudspeaker at the shrine blasted a recitation of the Quran as ambulances with loud sirens rushed in to carry away the dead and wounded. Outside a hospital in Kabul, a man sobbing with other relatives cried out “Mother! My mother!” The Taliban condemned the attack, which was reminiscent of the wave of sectarian bloodshed that shook Iraq during the height of the war there. Suspicion centered on militant groups based in neighboring Pakistan where Sunni attacks on minority Shiites are common.

New teacher hiring policy repealed

Council addresses blasting during planned project

YATESVILLE – The Pittston Area School Board, in a split vote Tuesday night, repealed the district’s hiring policy for teachers and reverted back to the former policy. The board voted 6-3 on a motion by Dr. Ross Latona to go back to the previous policy after less than a year. In January, school board members voted unanimously to adopt a new policy in which candidates appeared before a selection committee and received grades based on college grade point average, job experience, subject knowledge, communication skills and other criteria. This process was implemented to prevent candidates from being hired based on who they are orwhotheyknew–practicesthat were rumored to have occurred within the school district in years past – but rather on unbiased statistics. Newly named board President Anthony Guariglia, when questioned by board member Robert Linskey as to why the change was necessary, responded, “Because I don’t see that people are following it.” Linskey, Richard Gorzkowski and Marilyn Starna cast the opposing votes. Guariglia entertained a motion to hire attorney John Audi as special counsel for grievances,

The political party controlling a state legislature determines the outlines of each district. Mitchell: Holden helped “Politically, this should help (Holden) enormously,” said Ed Mitchell, a consultant who has helped run campaigns for Democratic politicians, including Tom Leighton and former 13-term Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke. Holden, the dean of the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation, said he’s just “an outside observer.” He said the Republicans are wheeling and dealing and Democrats like himself will “just play the cards I’m dealt.” The 11th District, represented by freshman Barletta, R-Hazleton, currently includes all of Monroe, Carbon and Columbia counties and portions of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. The revised district would stretch to the southwest, picking up suburban Harrisburg counties

needed,” Guariglia said. During the board’s reorganization earlier, District Judge Fred Pierantoni swore in newly elected board members John Donahue, Joseph Kelly and Charles Sciandra and re-elected members Gorzkowski and Guariglia.

Departing members Martin Quinn, attorney Mark Singer and outgoing board President Terrance Best each received plaques for their service on the board. The board then unanimously elected Guariglia board president and Latona vice president.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

gt. Robert Smith and Gunnery Sgt. Dennis Jones collect toys and cash for the Toys for Tots Free Skate on Tuesday at The Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township. The open skating event to support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program ran 6 to 9 p.m. Anyone who brought an unwrapped toy or donated $5 was permitted to skate. Gov. Corbett and the state Senate can move my house, but they will never dampen my spirit or my dedication to doing the right thing for the people of Pennsylvania. I am still looking forward to getting things done in Congress.” Barletta, meanwhile, would pick up parts of a district where no Democrats have challenged Holden for several election cycles. Even though the plan makes sense to political insiders, it doesn’t make sense to Barletta, according to his spokesman, Shawn Kelly. Kelly said Barletta wants to keep all of Luzerne County in the 11th Congressional District. “Why wouldn’t Rep. Barletta want Luzerne County whole?” Kelly asked. “He won it twice, Vinsko’s still in handily – by 4.8 points in 2008 Wilkes-Barre attorney William and by 13.4 points in 2010. It’s his Vinsko, a Democrat, has an- home county. It’s where he’s best nounced a run for the 11th District seat. With Wilkes-Barre out of the district, he could run against Holden or drop out. Vinsko said Tuesday that he will remain in the race even if Wilkes-Barre is moved into Holden’s district. “I remain committed to the people of Northeast and Central Pennsylvania, as the issues do not stop at boundary lines,” Vinsko said. “Congressman Barletta,

including Northumberland, Cumberland, Lebanon, Perry and Juniata. Barletta defeated Kanjorski in 2010 in the 11th, a district that now has more Democrats registered than Republicans. Tom Baldino, a political science professor at Wilkes University, said he can see why party officials would like to solidify Barletta’s district by adding Republicans and would offset that by giving what already are Democrat strongholds like Scranton and Wilkes-Barre to Holden. “The Republicans are trying to ensure Barletta’s re-election,” Baldino said. Baldino said that removing Barletta’s only declared challenger from the race was also a factor.

known. Rep. Barletta wants to keep Luzerne County whole. Period.” Vinsko called on Barletta to publicly ask the state legislature and Corbett to keep all of Luzerne County in the 11th and to “keep the voice of Northeast Pennsylvania strong and united in Washington.” “If Congressman Barletta is afraid to face voters who live in the heart of his own district, then he should work harder to convince them by doing his job,” Vinsko said. “Under this plan it’s downright wrong that Luzerne County will be broken into parts and the voice of our people will be muted in Washington for brazen political reasons.” Taking Wilkes-Barre and Scranton out of the 11th and placing them into the 17th could give the region a stronger voice in Washington since Holden has nearly two decades of experience

STORM DAMAGE?

Majority party factor Baldino said that having a representative with more years under his belt isn’t always better than having a representative who’s in the majority party, which Barletta is. Holden said as “a proud son of the coal region” he understands the heritages of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties and if they become part of his district, he’ll represent them proudly. He said that while he has heard the variations of the maps

being considered, he has yet to hear which ones are the frontrunners. He also added that the maps and the rumors about them “change every day.” The maps are being worked on by Republican leaders in Harrisburg and could be released as early as this week, though next week is more likely, according to Stephen Miskin, spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods. “We are still working with the Senate and governor to finalize a map consistent with Constitutional procedures that is fair and legal,” Miskin said. A public comment period and hearings would be required before final votes would occur. Miskin said the Legislative Reapportionment Commission will meet next week, likely Monday, to vote on final maps for the state House and Senate seats.

and seniority over Barletta, the political observers said. “It would give much of Northeastern PA a more senior member of Congress who has more clout than Barletta,” said Mitchell. But it would also place Luzerne County into three congressional districts, which could be a negative.

Flu shots set for Friday at armory By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The city, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, will conduct a mass influenza vaccination clinic Friday at the 109th National Guard Armory, Market Street. The free flu vaccination clinic will run noon to 6 p.m. as a part of National Influenza Vaccination Week, Dec. 4-10. Ted Kross, the city’s health director, said the Wilkes-Barre Health Department will provide support and assistance to state officials throughout the clinic. Kross said a mass immunization clinic was conducted in 2009 during the H1N1 (Avian Flu) pandemic. Individuals should schedule an appointment at www.padohclinicappt.com, or by calling 877-PAHEALTH (877-724-3258), between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. “The clinic is open to anyone,” Kross said. “There are no residency requirements. Flu season is just around the corner – January and February – and this is a perfect opportunity to get a free vaccine.” He said that on average one out of five people suffer from influenza every year. He said everyone is at risk for contracting influenza. “The impact of influenza can range from missed work or school days to greater ramifications for individuals considered highest risk, such as young children, the elderly and people with certain chronic medical conditions that can lead to hospitalization and even death,” Kross said. The health department director said symptoms of flu can include fever, body aches, fatigue, headache, dry cough, sore throat and runny or stuffy nose. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults. Kross said there are many people who have not received a flu shot for financial reasons or just because they are not thinking about the flu. He said people coming to the clinic can expect to be there around 15 minutes or less. For more information, contact the Wilkes-Barre City Health Department at 208-4268.

Proposed state law opposed Legislation would eliminate local zoning laws, township’s gas regulation amendment. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – A resident urged township officials Tuesday to express opposition to pending state legislation that would eliminate local zoning laws. Resident Diane Dreier asked supervisors if they would continue to let local legislators as well as the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors know Dallas Township is against House Bill 1950 and Senate Bill 1100. Supervisor Phil Walter told Dreier the board has already con-

tacted state Rep. Karen Boback and state Sen. Lisa Baker about the township’s position on the bills. Supervisors recently passed an extensive amendment to a zoning ordinance to regulate oil and natural gas activities and negotiated terms with two natural gas companies that plan to construct pipelines within the township. The state legislation would supersede this amendment. Planning Consultant Jack Varaly said the township worked “in very good faith” on the ordinance to control natural gas development and he felt those who

protested the move were “unfair” to officials. House Bill 1950 passed in the state House and Senate Bill 1100 passed in the state Senate, but Varaly said the legislature must now come to a compromise on the two documents. In other business, the board approved two motions changing the 2012 fee schedule for land development, subdivision and zoning applications to ensure developers are responsible for review fees. The board also announced that bids for the purchase of a 2006 or newer articulated allwheel-drive grader will be accepted until 4 p.m. Dec. 20. The bids will be reviewed at the Dec. 20 supervisors’ meeting. Also, Township Engineer Tom Doughton announced as a mem-

The board announced the 2012 proposed budget is available for public inspection at the municipal building and will be considered for adoption at the next supervisors’ meeting.

Nominated for service academies

Congressman Barletta tabs 22 from his district, including 5 from Luzerne County. Times Leader Staff

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, has announced the names of 22 students from the 11th Congressional District who he is recommending to U.S. service academies. Five of the students are from Luzerne County. Three students were nominated to the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y.: • Rex Aziz Sheikh, son of

Kathleen and Feroz Sheikh of Mountain Top, a student at George Washington University and a graduate of Holy Redeemer High School, WilkesBarre; • James Joseph Chimola Jr., son of Beth and James Chimola Sr. of Plains Township, a student at Coughlin High School; • Nickolas Forsberg, son of Margaret and David Forsberg of Mountain Top, a student at Crestwood High School. Students are not nominated to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, Conn. Barletta provided letters of support to these two students:

• Tyler Marc Gfeller, son of Marc and Cherie Gfeller of Nanticoke, a student at Wyoming Area; • Thomas J. Chirico, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Chirico of Hazleton, a student at Hazleton Area High School. “Rep. Barletta’s office received a few dozen applications to the U.S. service academies. Rep. Barletta was impressed with both the number and the quality of the applicants,” said spokesman Shawn Kelly. Barletta said he was “proud to nominate these students to our nation’s service academies, and I wish them success as

they move on to the next level.” Though they’re nominated, there is no guarantee the students will be accepted by the service academies because they’re now part of a nationwide selection process. The 10th Congressional District Service Academy Nomination Board met and interviewed candidates on Saturday. U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, intends to announce nominations in January and will make those selections known to the public at that time, his spokeswoman said.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: IN THE NEWS

Common sense takes a holiday

ERTAIN NEWS topics make us fuming mad and motivate us to write lengthy opinions. And then there are these: the head-scratchers. They leave us with little to say but much to question, including whether common sense has ceased to exist. ••• Storm grate thefts. Culprits in the region, presumably desperate for cash, recently resorted to stealing metal objects from roadways such as storm-drain covers and even guard rails. In Wilkes-Barre, for example, officials reported the loss of eight drain covers, or grates, each weighing in excess of 100 pounds. Whoever swiped the covers left behind gaping holes that could have killed or crippled unsuspecting pedestrians or motorists. Question: Does the person behind these crimes have a hole in the head? Or a hole in the heart? ••• Chief in hot water. Wilkes-Barre Township’s fire chief, John Paul Yuknavich, was charged Tuesday with stealing money from the department, the latest in a string of troubling allegations. Yuknavich, 48, who works for the township’s road department, previously has been accused of assault, harassment and violating a protection from abuse order; those charges stemmed from separate incidents involving an ex-girlfriend. Question: Is this guy a dependable emergency responder or an accident waiting to happen? And when will he get the help that he apparently needs? ••• Big drips at Sterling. In a welcome development,

an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited Luzerne County government offices Monday and retrieved documents about the Hotel Sterling project. Nearly $6 million in county loans was spent by a nonprofit group presumably to save the Wilkes-Barre landmark. Not only hasn’t the hotel been redeveloped, it reportedly has been ruined by water penetrating through a rotten roof and by September’s river flooding. Question: Couldn’t someone involved have applied for TARP funds? Or maybe just bought a few tarps? ••• Stalled policy at WBA. The newly installed president of the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board said this week that one of her priorities is to – finally – establish a written teacher hiring policy. Until this years-overdue task gets accomplished, the public is likely to assume the worst. Two prior school board members pleaded guilty to corruption charges, because they had been involved in accepting or passing bribes from candidates seeking teaching jobs. Question: For how long does the board expect us to hold our breath? ••• Special delivery? The U.S. Postal Service, already suffering from a cash flow problem and declining mail volume, apparently can’t provide better service, so it instead will cut workers and slow service. Beginning in the spring, a first-class letter won’t stand much chance of reaching its destination in one day. Instead, the norm will be two to three days. Question: Pony Express, anyone?

OTHER OPINION: PA-40 FORM

Online sales tax: It’s on your honor

OME APRIL, THE state Department of Revenue will have a new list, and probably check it twice. They’re hoping more people will be nice than naughty and fill in the new line on the PA-40 income tax regarding their Internet purchases. The new form is a friendly – for now – reminder about a little-known and rarely met sales tax obligation that’s been around for 60 years. It requires buyers in Pennsylvania to report and remit a 6 percent “use tax” when the seller isn’t required to collect the sales tax. In the age of Internet purchases, that amounts to quite a chunk of change. The Revenue Department estimates it will lose about $380 million in sales tax next year because people bought online instead of at instate brick-and-mortar stores. The state is encouraging “voluntary compliance” with EDITORIAL BOARD

the new tax form, recognizing that many people were unaware of the law, according to Revenue Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Brassell, who acknowledged there’s no way to monitor for violations. But that could change. She said, rather ominously, that officials are exploring ways to expand enforcement through new technology and other options – including some methods she’s “not at liberty to discuss.” Hopefully those methods don’t involve invading Pennsylvanians’ privacy, such as somehow tracking their online activities. Any furor over paying taxes on Internet purchases will be nothing compared to the constitutional firestorm such a tactic would surely spark. It would seem the honor system is the only option here – short of forcing the online sellers to collect the sales tax. The York Dispatch

The choice is clear for country’s future: It’s Obama THE CHAIRMAN of the Republican National Committee apparently suffers from amnesia, as he seemingly forgets in his recent commentary (“Obama’s Scranton visit reveals how far he’s fallen,” Dec. 3) how our country found itself in this mess. President Clinton left office with a balanced budget, record budget surplus and decreasing public debt. President Obama took office with the economy on the brink of collapse, two costly wars, expensive and unfunded Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy and rising unemployment. Those are the facts, and we are sure not to forget those facts anytime soon – as they continue to plague our economy and hinder our economic recovery. In the hopes that all of us would suffer from the same sense of amnesia, the RNC chairman’s piece in The Times Leader is a futile, inaccurate and misleading attempt to shift blame to President Obama. Over the last three years, the president has been fighting hard to restore economic security for middle-class Americans, rescuing the economy from the brink of collapse and putting us on a path to sustainable recovery. He has accomplished this despite determined and consistent opposition from Republican leaders in Congress who have made it clear that their top priority is seeing President Obama fail, not seeing America succeed. Having inherited an economy on the brink

COREY D. O’BRIEN of collapse, President Obama took swift action, with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to provide immediate relief and create jobs, while investing in the critical programs and infrastructure America needs to be competitive in the future. He passed sweeping Wall Street reform to protect consumers and end taxpayer-funded bailouts. While in office, he has cut taxes for 95 percent of working families and cut taxes 17 times for small businesses. President Obama made the courageous decision to provide emergency loans to enable the auto industry to restructure, saving more than a million jobs. The companies are now getting stronger, creating new jobs and have paid back nearly all of the taxpayers’ investment. While the work continues, the progress is undeniable. In addition, the president continues to deliver on his foreign policy promises. He said that he would end the Iraq war and that’s what he’s done. Next week the last American troops are scheduled to come home from Iraq. The president said he would pursue Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and that’s exactly what he did. Last week, President Obama came to Scranton to talk about extending and expanding payroll tax cuts for the middle class

LETTERS FROM READERS

Writer urges residents to fight quarry expansion

COMMENTARY

– his plan to save a typical American family $1,500 next year. Republican candidates have disparaged this proposal, with Mitt Romney calling it a “temporary Band-Aid” while proposing a plan of his own that provides only $54 to an average family, extends tax breaks for the wealthy and rolls back regulations to let Wall Street write its own rules – the very same failed policies that caused the most recent recession. President Obama continues to come to the table with common-sense ideas that have historically been supported by Republicans and Democrats alike: tax cuts for small businesses and working Americans, the engine of economic growth; targeted investments in education and infrastructure; college affordability measures; jobs bills to keep teachers in the classrooms and firefighters and emergency responders on the job. Yet time and again, the Republicans have voted no. These are all ideas they once supported but now oppose, with no clear motive other than scoring political points, which they do at the expense of the American people. When faced with the option of continuing the progress that President Obama has made, keeping the country on the path to recovery, or turning back the clock to the policies that created this recession in the first place, the choice is clear. And President Obama should expect to do well in Northeastern Pennsylvania next year.

urge residents of Swoyersville and neighboring boroughs to support efforts to oppose the expansion of the Buck Mountain Quarry/Brdaric Excavating operation in Kingston Township and Swoyersville. As you travel the North Cross-Valley Expressway, from Wilkes-Barre to the Kingston/Forty Fort side, take a good look upward and to the right and pay attention to the unsightly hole in the mountainside. I also urge residents to read very closely the Nov. 15 and Nov. 18 articles in The Times Leader. When asked if the land that already is being mined will be reclaimed (restored) in the future, a state Department of Environmental Protection district mining manager said that “those areas most likely will not be filled in the reclamation process, which may not happen for another 50 years,” according to one newspaper report. (Unbelievable). It is also noted that these mines will be used to pool water and trap sediment as runoff washes down the mountainside

toward the Susquehanna River. The last thing we need is more water runoff into the mines and river, which have caused so much flooding and damage. At a time when most areas in our state seemingly are being cleaned and restored from mining operations, we have one looking to expand and most likely being cleaned (reclaimed/restored) far into the future at taxpayers’ expense. I believe that people see this quarry as a cancer on the face of a once-scenic mountainside that should be stopped rather than expanded. If you agree, then do something about it such as contacting your local, state and federal representatives and letting them know about your objection to this quarry

Flag on ‘Holiday Train’ needs to fly properly

very year the Canadian Pacific Railroad runs its “Holiday Train” from Canada to Scranton and every year it disrespects the flag of our country. It is proper flag protocol (and U.S. law) that the flag of the United States, when displayed on a moving vehicle, is to be flown on the right side – that is the viewer’s left – and that applies to locomotives as well. Realizing that the whole concept of the Holiday Train is most noteworthy in its endeavor to assist those in need along the route of the railroad, in this case the former Lackawanna and Delaware & Hudson lines, it should make a real effort to respect the flag of the country in which it is doing business. From such a professional organization, one should expect no less. Tony Reznak Jr. Nanticoke

YUKNAVICH Continued from Page 1A

“I believe there should be accountability for our donations that we give over there.” He said the township donates about $100,000 to the fire department, which he said is independent from the township. Department members serve without compensation, and it has a board of directors that does not answer directly to elected township officials. “It’s a separate entity over there; they select their own officers,” Kuren said. He said that upon hearing about Yuknavich’s arrest, he made sure there is adequate fire protection in the township.

BUDGET Continued from Page 1A

Commissioners sent all county managers an e-mail Tuesday instructing them to submit budget compliance plans. Departments can’t expect more overall funding for their offices, but they were asked to determine whether they want to shift money from one category to another. Managers also were instructed to submit a list of employees who will be funded with their new salary allocations, which would pinpoint the workers who would be furloughed. Several row officers have already indicated that they won’t comply with the commissioners’ request, Petrilla said. Petrilla said after the work session that the commissioners are trying to give managers a say in how to spend their new allocations to cover essential services. That information will then be incorporated into the final budget and presented to the new council. “They’re not hurting the commissioners if they refuse to provide the information. They’re hurting the new council,” Petrilla said. Urban said department heads who don’t respond are allowing commissioners to make their own judgment call on the structure of allocations and personnel cuts, rather than taking ownership of their own budgets. Petrilla said she can’t assess whether money for computers will be available in the court budget until she sees how the court intends to divvy up its new decreased allocation. County Court of Common Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke has agreed to work through budget issues with the administration, Petrilla said. However, Burke said Monday the budget proposal would fall “woefully short” of complying with a legal requirement to reasonably fund the court system. The courts have the option to sue in an attempt to restore cuts. Petrilla questioned the cost of the computers Tuesday and was informed that they would total about $8,000 because the desktops are around $500 each and the laptops about $1,100 each. She questioned why the new judges can’t use existing computers and laptops in the courts. No court representatives were present at the meeting. County Deputy Court Administrator Peter J. Adonizio said court officials

No one was at the volunteer fire department Tuesday morning or evening to comment about Yuknavich’s arrest or status. The fire chief is the son of longtime township Councilwoman Mary Yuknavich, who lost her seat on council by eight votes last month. A vote recount that she requested confirmed she lost the seat, meaning her tenure ends on Dec. 31. Arrested at courthouse Yuknavich was arrested by state police immediately after he emerged from a courtroom inside the Luzerne County Courthouse. He was at the courthouse for a protection-from-abuse hearing in which Denise Pavlick, his ex-girlfriend, alleged he threatened to put bullets in her head on Nov. 6.

officers submit their budget compliance plans. County Controller Walter Griffith and Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski are among the row officers who said they won’t comply with the commissioners’ directive. Griffith sent an e-mail to the council-elect questioning the commissioners’ authority. County District Attorney-elect Stefanie Salavantis said she is analyzing the budget and will identify

cuts, though she is concerned the budget proposed by commissioners will hamper operations. Commissioners cut $622,828 from the District Attorney’s Office budget, reducing it to $4.18 million. Salavantis said she wants to try to avoid a legal battle over budget cuts that would be costly to taxpayers. “My goal is to be fiscally responsible, but we still need enough money to prosecute cases,” she said.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Dallas’ Jackson shocked by evaluation Coach of the Year appealed negative findings By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

DALLAS – Dallas head football coach Ted Jackson said he was shocked to get an unfavorable performance review from high school principal Jeffrey Shaffer. On Tuesday, Jackson talked about the review, but the school district – through its spokesman, superintendent Frank Galicki, said little.

Jackson has appealed the review and will meet Thursday morning with Galicki, Shaffer and athletic director Nancy Roberts. “I don’t expect anything to change Thursday,” Jackson said. The school district administration will make a recommendation on Jackson’s coaching future that will be considered at the next school board meeting. The Dallas board is scheduled to meet Mon-

Jackson said. “I have never gotten a bad rating before and all of a sudden things change?” Jackson said Shaffer used a numbering system to arrive at the unsatisfactory rating. He said Shaffer offered 17 items that contributed to the rating. “I see this as a personality conflict,” Jackson said. See JACKSON, Page 6B

Earlier thisweek,formerplayersstarted an online petition in support of Bradley’s permanent hiring. As for Sumlin, leading Houston into the national spotlight this season has earned him some renown. And a mention for most every coaching opening other than Penn State’s. “It’s hard to respond every day to things people are saying,” Sumlin said. “Then it comes out 48 hours later that no, that wasn’t true.

DALLAS — Jeffrey Loria quickly marched down the hallway with his team president, trailed by their top aides, and hustled into a meeting room with a labor lawyer from Major League Baseball. Having already made the biggest splash at the winter meetings, the Miami Marlins owner was trying to reel in Albert Pujols and perhaps other big-name free agents with the newfound riches from Pujols their new ballpark. “He’s not the only guy,” Loria said about 20 minutes later before heading back upstairs on an elevator with his delegation. Baseball’s new Big Fish were the talk of the winter meetings Tuesday, with teams wondering how close the Marlins were to an agreement with Pujols on a deal that could be worth $200 million or more over 10 years for the threetime NL MVP. St. Louis said it submitted a new offer Tuesday to keep Pujols with the Cardinals, a team he’s already led to two World Series titles in the last six seasons. Traditional big spenders such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were reduced to spectators. “They have a new stadium. They’re excited about it, and it’s good for baseball,” former Marlins and current Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “They had hoped that they’d get the new stadium

NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Lakers will play games on the first three nights of the NBA season, the first of 42 back-toback-to-back sets teams will face during this lockout-shortened season. The NBA announced the compacted, 66-game schedule on Tuesday night, one that will require every team to play on three consecutive nights at least once. And it will force every team to navigate demanding stretches that are never seen during a full season, such as the nine games in 12 nights the Atlanta Hawks face starting with their Dec. 27 opener. The league’s 66th season begins with five games on Christmas, including the Lakers hosting the Chicago Bulls. Los Angeles then visits Sacramento the next night before returning home to host Utah on Dec. 27. Teams will play 48 conference games and 18 against the opposing conference, meaning they play only three nonconference opponents home and away. The league did preserve its most storied rivalry, with the Lakers traveling to Boston for a Feb. 9 matchup before the Celtics open a stretch of eight road games in13 nights in March with games on back-to-back nights at Staples Center. Dallas and Miami also will play twice, following their Christmas NBA finals rematch with a March 12 game in Miami. The Heat and Lakers also play two games. The 50-game 1999 season featured 64 sets of back-to-back-tobacks and was plagued by sloppy basketball being played on fatigued legs. The NBA faces a similar predicament now after failing to reach a new labor deal in time to save the Nov. 1 start to the season. Instead, a tentative agreement was reached on Nov. 26. Lawyers for the owners and players are still finalizing the rest of the deal, with both sides expected to vote on it Thursday before training camps and free agency open on Friday. Aging teams such as the Celtics, Lakers and NBA champion Mavericks will have to pace themselves, while younger teams such as Oklahoma City figure to be better prepared for the grind. “You’re not going to have those breaks of three or four days that you sometimes got in the old 82game schedule, when it was the normal regular schedule,” former NBA coach and current analyst Mike Fratello said during the schedule announcement on NBA TV. “Now with everything being compacted, games come that much more quickly, you’ve got to gear up back up again, you move onto the next one immediately.”

One coach only has eyes for a specific job. The other can’t escape reports that he is looking into several. Penn State’s Tom Bradley and Houston’s Kevin Sumlin are scheduled to lead their teams against each other in next month’s TicketCity Bowl in Dallas. Whether either will coach at their respective schools again afterward is anyone’s guess.

Wyoming Valley West twosport standout Eugene Lewis made it official Tuesday as he enrolled at Meyers High School. Lewis, who has verbally committed to play football at Penn State, will begin classes today. His family recently moved to a residence a short distance from Meyers, something school officials verified

Tuesday. According to Meyers athletic director Mike Namey, Valley West football coach Pat Keating will still handle any college recruiting issues for Lewis and coordinate his efforts with Meyers. Lewis is also a basketball star and led Division I of the Wyoming Valley Conference in scoring last season by averaging 18.5 points per game. Meyers basketball coach Pat Toole said Lewis didn’t practice with the team Tuesday. “(Today) is his first official school day and he will practice with the team,” Toole said. “We got all his classes

set up (Tuesday).” When Lewis plays for Meyers depends upon Valley West. Namey said the PIAA transfer waiver – necessary for Lewis to play in games for Meyers – was delivered to Valley West on Tuesday afternoon. He said Meyers hopes the waiver will be returned by Valley West today. Valley West has two options with the waiver. If Valley West approves it – meaning the transfer wasn’t for athletic purposes – Lewis will be able to play in games See LEWIS, Page 3B

MLB

Rollins finds little interest as free agent By MATT GELB The Philadelphia Inquirer

DALLAS — When their 75minute meeting with agent Dan Lozano ended Tuesday, Miami Marlins executives raced through the crowded lobby of the Hilton Anatole with reporters chasing and onlookers pointing. The Albert Pujols sweepstakes consumed this day for Lozano, who also represents Jimmy Rollins. And thus, the Phillies’ offseason was put on hold for a day. But that did not keep optimism from seeping through the ranks of Phillies officials. The reason was a much less publicized meeting with Lozano late Monday night after earlier talks that had

soured. “We had a nice meeting,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “There is not really much to Rollins report other than we had a good discussion about some things.” Charlie Manuel, who arrived Tuesday afternoon, went a step further. “There’s a big chance that Jimmy is going to be back with us,” the Phillies manager said. “I feel that way, and I think it’s going to get done.” The sticking point remains the

length of a deal. Rollins has maintained his desire for a five-year contract, and a baseball source said that Jose Reyes’ six-year, $106 million deal inflated Rollins’ value in the shortstop’s eyes. Rollins, 33, is five years older than Reyes. The Rollins camp has publicly kept quiet. Lozano’s priority was negotiating a 10-year deal for Pujols. Rollins tweeted a photo of new Nikes that arrived at his house Tuesday. Manuel said he spoke to Rollins a week ago on two occasions. “I think that he wants to remain a Phillie,” Manuel said. “There’s still some time, and there’s still some thinking, and

he’s probably looking. Jimmy can be a spur-of-the-moment guy sometimes. You know, he’ll wake up one morning and say, ’Hey, I’m staying a Phillie.’ That’s kind of who he is.” It might be Rollins’ best option. There is a limited market for the shortstop and no substantial offers believed to have been made. The Milwaukee Brewers are interested in Rollins, but likely not for five years. If St. Louis loses Pujols, it could turn to Rollins for added offense at shortstop. The Phillies have used these winter meetings to explore alternatives to Rollins, too. They have engaged Aramis Ramirez’s agent.

Acquiring the third baseman would force a trade of Placido Polanco, who is owed $7.25 million in 2012, and a new shortstop. Ramirez’s agent, Paul Kinzer, said Tuesday he had no new talks scheduled with the Phillies. Still, the team’s preference is to avoid that scenario and re-sign Rollins. So, whether it’s because of the player or agent, the Phillies are content to wait with a perceived advantage in negotiations. “Jimmy has every right to feel prideful about what he’s done in his career,” Amaro said. “I absolutely understand. He feels he has great worth, and he should feel that way. It’s a matter of us getting to the right place where we

think the worth is the same.” Amaro said if he is able to resign Rollins, it’s likely the last offensive addition to the club. Amaro and Manuel had dinner Tuesday night with Laynce Nix in Dallas, and the outfielder’s two-year, $2.5 million deal is expected to be finalized this week. The rest of the winter hinges on Rollins’ decision. Amaro would like a resolution sooner rather than later, but he’s in no hurry. “Jimmy wants to be a Phillie,” Amaro said. “The Phillies want Jimmy to be our shortstop.” They just don’t see eye-to-eye on how long the next marriage should last — yet.

for Meyers. The Mohawks open their season Saturday by hosting Scranton Prep. If Valley West rejects the waiver, Lewis can still practice with Meyers but not participate in games. A rejection of the waiver could lead to an eligibility hearing before the District 2 Athletic Committee, the local extension of the PIAA. The District 2 Athletic Committee’s next meeting is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Dec. 21 at the Wilkes-Barre Area Career & Technology Center. However, the athletic committee has the continuation of another eligibility hearing involving the transfer of two athletes from GAR to Hanover Area scheduled for Dec. 14 and could conceivably add a Lewis hearing if necessary. Any decision from a possible District 2 hearing can be appealed to the PIAA Board of Directors. Lewis is expected to miss about a week of the basketball season when he participates in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl football game on New Year’s Eve at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

NHL ROUNDUP

Clarkson’s OT marker topples Leafs The Associated Press

TORONTO — David Clarkson scored twice, including 2:40 into overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Ilya Kovalchuk also scored for the Devils, who got 31 saves from Martin Brodeur. Phil Kessel scored his 17th goal of the season for Toronto, and Matt Frattin also scored for the Leafs. James Reimer made 23 saves. Clarkson scored the winner off the rush after taking a feed from Dainius Zubrus in the slot and beating Reimer through his pads. Kovalchuk and Clarkson scored power-play goals in the first period to give New Jersey a quick 2-0 lead. Kovalchuck wired a one-time shot off the post and in past Reimer at 5:03. Clarkson then took advantage of some suspect defensive zone coverage by the Maple Leafs to beat a helpless Reimer at 8:59. Kessel got the Leafs back in it at 11:29 of the second. Joffrey Lupul threw a puck in front that bounced off Kessel’s skate

and past Brodeur.

John Tavares, Milan Jurcina, David Ullstrom and Matt Moulson — the NHL’s first star of last week — also scored for New York. Ullstrom’s goal was his first in the NHL. Al Montoya made 23 saves. The Islanders are 4-1-2 in their past seven games. Martin St. Louis gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead, but the Islanders led 3-1 before the first period ended. Mathieu Garon stopped 29 saves. Blue Jackets 3, Canadiens 2 MONTREAL — Rick Nash’s shootout goal lifted the Columbus Blue Jackets to a win over the Montreal Canadiens. Curtis Sanford was perfect in the tiebreaker, turning aside David Desharnais, Max Pacioretty and Brian Gionta. Gionta

scored a goal with 1:21 left in regulation to send the game to overtime. Blues 3, Red Wings 2 ST. LOUIS — David Backes got the go-ahead score on the second straight power-play goal of the game for the St. Louis Blues, who ended a 2 for 39 slump with the man advantage in a victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Alex Steen had a power play goal in the second period and Brian Elliott made 27 saves for the Blues, who are 9-2-3 since Ken Hitchcock replaced Davis Payne as coach. The Blues also beat the Red Wings in Hitchcock’s first game on Nov. 15. Coyotes 3, Predators 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Keith Yandle scored with 1:45 remaining to give the Phoenix Coyotes a victory over the Nashville Predators. Phoenix won its second straight game. Nashville has dropped six of eight. Ray Whitney and Taylor Pyatt also scored for Phoenix. Jack Hillen and Shea Weber had the Predators’ goals.

Matt Clemens scored a teamhigh 22 points as PSU WilkesBarre defeated PSU Brandywine. Jacob Bronder and Denzel Mensah each contributed 10 points apiece in the win. For Brandywine, Rasheed Wilkins netted 25 points.

and they would be able to do those types of things. Our roster is pretty set. We have a lot of guys that are on long-term deals. That’s why maybe there’s not a lot happening for us.” Having already reached deals with All-Star closer Heath Bell ($27 million for three years) and All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes ($106 million for six), the Marlins’ interest in Pujols is real. What’s unclear is whether the first baseman is prepared to go to Miami or whether his talks with the Marlins are an attempt to push the Cardinals higher. “I know the ownership group is putting their best foot forward and trying to do everything that they can to make this possible,” new Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, “but I also know it’s a complicated decision on both sides. There’s a lot going on, a lot that I’m not even involved in, but I think it’s clear to say that St. Louis Cardinals would love to have Albert, and we’ll see how it all plays out.”

The Lady Monarchs (6-2) shot just 27 percent from the floor. LCCC 67, Lehigh-Carbon 54

Michele Vowler finished with 22 points to lead PSU WilkesBarre to a win over PSU Brandywine. Catherine Beach followed with 14 points while Tiaira Brathwaite contributed 13 points. For Brandywine, Cashae Hinton scored 15 points and Amanda Congialdi had 13 points.

HIGH SCHOOLS BOYS BOWLING

Hazleton Area 4, Berwick 0

David Shutovich captured high game honors with a 265 as well as high series honors with his 766 (254, 265, 247) to lead Hazleton Area to a season-opening victory over Berwick. Anthony Sidari fired a 245, while Christian Pugliese (226) and Richard Kovacsics (245) contributed to the win.

GIRLS BOWLING

Hazleton Area 4, Berwick 0

Kayla Maselkevich finished with a total of 642 (224, 218, 200) to help Hazleton Area sweep Berwick. Freshman Aleigha Sokolowski scored 182 and 170, and classmate Miranda Rish contributed by bowling a 175. Alyssa Balicki (206, 189) also helped the cause.

Prince Fielder was still in play in the hitters’ market, and C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle were among the available starting pitchers on the second day of the four-day swap session, which has been relatively slow. The Chicago White Sox traded closer Sergio Santos to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitching prospect Nestor Molina, and the Minnesota Twins dealt right-hander Kevin Slowey to the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named. When the meetings reach their last full day Wednesday, roughly two dozen free agents must decide by midnight EST on salary arbitration offers from their former clubs. David Ortiz, who has said he wants to stay with the Boston Red Sox, appeared likely to accept. AL champion Texas planned to meet Tuesday night with Wilson, the chatty left-hander who went 16-7 during the regular season but was 0-3 in October. “We’re just staying in communication, that’s all we’ve agreed to do,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. “We just agreed to stay in touch, keep each other posted and keep a dialogue. We’re not holding him up, and he’s not holding us up.”

NFL

Retired scramblers unsure about ‘Tebow Time’ The answer to that question: Because he’s winning. So says Douglass, the Bears’ scrambling quarterback from 1969-75 who was a career 43 percent passer. “You have to make a decision: Can we put in some of the stuff that he’s real comfortable with plus create all these problems for the defense?” said Douglass. “And then, are we better off sacrificing some of the things that he could be learning if we didn’t do that? Obviously, they have made that decision.” Although they’ve slowed his growth as a passer, they haven’t stunted it, Douglass suggested.

By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Nobody knows what will come of the Tim Tebow experiment, not even those scrambling ramblers who came before him. Yet it seems like everybody wants to talk about it. Retired QBs who made a living with their legs, and who also turned the NFL on its ear in their day, have strong opinions about what’s happening in Denver, where Tebow has led the once lowly Broncos to six wins in his seven starts. Randall Cunningham loves it. Steve Young hates it. Bobby Douglass admires it. While they debate whether Tebow can morph into a prototypical pocket passer, they’re all pulling hard for the Broncos’ quirky quarterback who defies his messy mechanics and flawed footwork with grit and last-minute magic. That’s Tebow Time to some. “I think what we all ought to do is enjoy the circus while it’s in town,” suggests another former NFL quarterback, Joe Theismann. Tebow has brought the option back to the NFL and while he usually struggles for much of the day to move his team downfield, he keeps coming up big in crunch time, guiding the Broncos to second-half comeback wins against the Dolphins, Jets, Raiders, Chargers and Vikings since taking over as the starter two months ago. On Sunday, he won a shootout in Minnesota, propelling the Broncos (7-5) into a first-place tie with Oakland atop the AFC West. “You’ve got Aaron Rodgers, you’ve got Drew Brees, you’ve got Tom Brady that set a standard of excellence in football that we haven’t seen,” said Theismann, now an NFL Network analyst. “What makes 2011 so unique is we have seen quarterback play in this league at such a high extreme and in Tim’s case, the bottom rung when it comes to completions.” And yet the Broncos are also in the playoff hunt in this pass-happy league because of an old-fashioned formula based on stout defense and a strong ground game. Tebow is completing just 48 percent of his passes.

championship football,” Young said. “And so I had to learn the job, and the job is a Ph.D. in studying defenses and the ability — and some of it’s natural — to deliver the football.” There’s the rub. Does Tebow really need to be a great passer? “My first year, I was no more accurate than he was,” said Cunningham, who was a 42 percent passer as a rookie but finished his career at 56.6 percent and was one of the most exciting players of his day. Young said he fears the Broncos will head into the offseason still clueless as to whether Tebow can really throw the ball and thus they’ll decide to draft another quarterback, “and then I’m going to say, ‘Well, why didn’t we spend that time last year seeing if he could really do this job?”’

Winning is key Cunningham, who spent 16 seasons in the NFL, said the results speak for themselves. “The bottom line is the man wins games. I’m probably his biggest fan,” Cunningham said. “When I look at him, I see a large Michael Vick. People tell Tim what he can’t do; he defies the odds. He doesn’t do it in a way that everybody else does it. He doesn’t do it like Tom Brady or my man Drew Brees. But let me tell you something: At the end of the game, it’s always exciting and he comes out ahead.” Eventually, all scramblers are forced to rely more on their arm. Age and injuries catch up. Tebow ran the ball 22 times two weeks ago, more than any NFL quarterback since 1950, prompting Vikings coach Leslie Frazier to crack that he’d like to get his star tailback Adrian Peterson that many touches. The Broncos dispute the notion they’re putting Tebow in harm’s way with so many designed quarterback runs, insisting he’s susceptible to bigger hits in the pocket. Young’s not worried about Tebow’s health. “No, he’s a bull,” Young said. “Physically, he’s as ready to go take that beating as anyone in the league, running backs, anybody. Now, can you transition from running somebody over to then dropping back and reading the zone blitz and drop off the ball to the hot read? I mean, that’s the transition he has to get used to, but I’m not worried about him. The guy’s built for it.”

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow (15) points to the sky after his two-point conversion to tie Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at 29 in the fourth quarter at Mall of America Field.

“And what’s his winning percentage?” retorts Cunningham. It’s 85.7 percent, second only to Rodgers, whose Packers are perfect at 12-0. Still, Broncos boss John Elway won’t publicly commit to Tebow in the future. Coach John Fox, who told NFL.com last month that Tebow would be “screwed” if they were running a conventional offense, is living in the moment. “The guy wins. How can you not be a fan of that?” Fox said. “He does it with his feet, with his arm, just with his competitive greatness, really. That’s what you’re looking for in a quarterback.” The Broncos have decided not to try to fix Tebow’s throwing troubles now but try to accentuate what he already does well, which is running a ball-control, low-risk, no-frills offense heavy on the option while sprinkling in some

downfield passes. “He’s in a sweet spot right now,” said Young, “but I don’t know if it’s developing him to do it long-term in the NFL.” Best game yet Tebow is coming off his best passing performance as a pro — 10 of 15 for 202 yards and two TDs — but Young would like to see him sling it 20-25 times every Sunday. “I learned the hard way what the job in the NFL was,” said Young, who came into the league as a scrambler and left as a pocket passer with a championship and a ticket to the Hall of Fame. “I didn’t know what that job was and it wasn’t natural to me and I like to just run around and make plays. “But it’s not championship football. It can be winning football, but it’s not

PENGUINS

Depleted blueline a concern as team preps for Senators By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins head coach John Hynes wrapped up Tuesday’s practice at Coal Street with a dilemma. With the team ready to drive up to Binghamton today to face the Senators and with three defensemen in Pittsburgh, the Penguins practiced with five blueliners this week. Since Boris Valabik is still not ready to return from his knee injury and the top choice for a call up from Wheeling – Andrew Hotham -- is also out with an injury, Hynes spent Tuesday afternoon searching for a sixth defenseman. Despite the prospect of facing the Senators with only five on defense, Hynes wasn’t panicking. “There’s a couple guys in Wheeling and maybe another in the East Coast,” he said. “If not, we’ll look at different teams that have guys you’re familiar with.” Hynes said that moving a forward back to play defense for a game isn’t an option, and he was confident a sixth defenseman would be in place by this afternoon. “Once you start to see guys getting hurt in Pittsburgh and you know there’s going to be call-ups, you try to be prepared,” he said. Valabik, a veteran of five AHL seasons and 80 NHL games, would’ve been the perfect choice to round out the Penguins defense corps. He is still recovering from a knee injury that has sidelined him since training camp. Hynes said he could return by this weekend or, at the latest, before Christmas. “We don’t want to rush him for our own benefit. We want to make sure we take care of the player first,” Hynes said. Valabik hasn’t played in nine months, but when he does return he shouldn’t face a big adjustment to facing game action. And, more importantly, Valabik has no doubts that he’ll be able to resume his high-

ly physical style when he does return. “Have you seen our practices? That’s a big plus. They’re high tempo and physical,” Valabik said. “They are really close to game situations and the guys don’t hold back in the battling drills.” Valabik said his knee might not be 100 percent this season, but it is feeling better every day. And with the urgent situation on the Penguins thin blueline, Valabik said he has to remain patient and return when his knee is healed enough to allow him to play his game effectively. “I’d love to be out there already, but I need to do what’s smart,” he said. “(To rush it) isn’t going to help me or the team. I want to be ready to play, not just get through a game.” NOTES - When the Penguins have been on the road this season Valabik has stayed behind to log some extra ice time on the rink at Coal Street. Chris Banks, operations manager for the rink, has donned the goalie gear and stood between the pipes to play goaltender for Valabik. Last Tuesday, when they were on the ice, one of Valabik’s shots whistled by Banks and smacked the crossbar, breaking the puck in half. “That was just lucky I guess,” Valabik said. - Hynes said center Zach Sill won’t play tonight against Binghamton.

Ted Ligety reacts on the podium after winning the men’s World Cup giant slalom ski competition in Beaver Creek, Colo., on Tuesday.

Ligety tackles Birds of Prey

United States skier does his homework to triumph in the World Cup giant slalom event. By PAT GRAHAM AP Sports Writer

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — The way Ted Ligety carved into turns looked so easy. The way he glided in between sections of the steep course appeared so elegant. Even when he’s skiing on edge in a giant slalom race, pushing to the brink of his ability — as he insisted he was doing Tuesday — it hardly seemed that way. No wonder some of his rivals have taken to calling him, “Mr. GS.” Ligety turned in a blazing second run in frigid conditions to capture a World Cup giant slalom race on a demanding Birds of Prey course. The three-time overall GS champion flew down the hill in a combined time of 2 minutes, 40.01 seconds to hold off Marcel Hirscher of Austria by 0.69 seconds. Kjetil Jansrud of Norway was third. “I tried to do my best. I had no chance,” Hirscher said. “Ted was unbreakable.” It was Hirscher who lit a fire under Ligety. On Sunday, Hirscher knocked off Ligety in a giant slalom race on this course, finding superior speed where many others, including Ligety, couldn’t. So, Ligety went to the video and studied Hirscher’s amazing run from the weekend and used it against him. “I’m glad to come down and get some redemption,” Ligety said. “(Hirscher) crushed me by quite a bit and a lot of other guys Sunday.” This time, it was Ligety’s turn.

er job.” Texas A&M, Arizona State, Illinois and UCLA have all reportedly had interest in Sumlin to lead their programs. Sumlin denied Sunday night that he has been in contact with other schools. “Everything that’s come out hasbeenpurespeculation,”Sumlin said. “Not only is it made up, it’s not even close to anything. It’s hard for me to comment on any of those things.

Pack closing in At 27, Ligety is the undisputed king of the GS. But he has a couple of youngsters hot on his heels in Hirscher (22 years old) and Pinturault (20). They keep getting better with age, especially Pinturault, who Ligety said is bound to break through for his first win very soon, possibly even this season. “It’s just a matter of time,” Ligety said. “That’s definitely a good motivator for me, knowing there’s somebody 7 years younger than me that probably has more raw speed than I do. That’s something that’s going to make me push hard in the future. I’m hoping (Pinturault) doesn’t get that mental ability and race speed too soon.” Hirscher is already there. His performance this week is evidenceofthat.Secondafterthe first run, Hirscher may have even charged toward another win Tuesday, but he banged his hand on a gate and wasn’t the same in his final trip through the course. “I was a bit not that aggressive like in the first run,” Hirscher said. “I’m pretty happy with my second place. For me, it’s perfect to be here. “It’s an amazing feeling because he is Mr. GS. Hopefully it’s going on the whole season.” Just then, Jansrud playfully interrupted as the three sat at a ta-

ble for a post-race news conference. Something was lost in translation. “You hope (Ligety) wins all races the whole season?” Jansrud asked. Wide-eyed, Hirscher quickly amended his statement. “Not that,” he said. “Hopefully, I can beat him.” Maybe next season the field will have an even better chance to close the gap on Ligety. That’s when the new rules over the shape of the GS skis take effect. Ligety has been frustrated with the International Ski Federation’s decision to alter the hourglass shape. Already so dominant in this discipline, he could lose some of his advantage. Although, he doesn’t believe so. “If the new skis happen, it’s goingtobelessfuntoski.ButIdon’t think I have a big disadvantage,” Ligety said. “I think Hirscher and Pinturault have a much greater disadvantage than I do. Somebody like Aksel (Lund Svindal of Norway) has a bigger advantage on me. “It’s going to affect me less than some of the other guys — guys that are smaller and springier. It’s tough to say how it’s going to play out.” Tim Jitloff had a fast run and momentarily held the lead before the top skiers came down the hill. He wound up 10th. Bode Miller never found his groove and was 29th, 3.58 seconds behind Ligety. This race was moved to Beaver Creek because of a lack of snow in Val d’Isere, France. There’s also a women’s super-G on Wednesday — a homecoming for Lindsey Vonn who lives in nearby Vail — and a men’s slalom on Thursday.

“I am extremely happy at the University of Houston. I’m not lookingforanotherjob.I’mworking very hard at the job I have, and I have a lot of unfinished work with it. I don’t have time to answer every bit of speculation. Because it would be every day and night.” On Tuesday, Sumlin was named Region 5 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association, joining fellow regional winners Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State, Les Miles of LSU, David Shaw of Stanford and Dabo Swinney of Clemson. Sumlin, a Purdue grad who spent eight seasons as an assist-

ant coach in the Big Ten (1993-97 at Minnesota, 1998-2000 at Purdue), knows Bradley a bit from the recruiting trail. “I met Tom a long time ago,” Sumlin said. “Out on the road and recruiting in the spring, that’s where we kind of met. We haven’t talked on the phone in the last couple years – I’ve been very, very busy – but I’ve always respected how he’s a guy who’s worked his way up the ladder from a position coach to a coordinator. “I think how he handled that first press conference (after Paterno was fired), you see the quality of person he is.”

He entered the final run trailing France’s Alexis Pinturault by 0.14 seconds. But Ligety easily made up the time to win his10th World Cup race. Pinturault made an early mistake and never recovered, settling for fourth. “I was pushing super hard,” Ligety said. “If I did that run several times, I don’t know if I’d make it to the finish line with a high percentage.”

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State likely won’t provide the NCAA all the answers it wants by a Dec. 16 deadline for its inquiry into whether the school broke rules with its handling of the scandal that cost Joe Paterno his job. School president Rodney Erickson said Tuesday the university would respond to the NCAA by the deadline as a “work in progress.” A Penn State spokeswoman cited the volume of investigations under way as a potential factor. Investigations began after police arrested former assistant Jerry Sandusky last month. He maintains his innocence on charges he sexually abused eight boys over a 15-year span. Beside the criminal investigation and the NCAA inquiry, the

JACKSON Continued from Page 1B

Jackson has coached high school football for 38 years – the last 27 years as head coach at Dallas. His career record is 227-82-3, including the PIAA Class 2A state title in 1993. Dallas has posted just one losing season under Jackson, who was named Wyoming Valley Conference Coaches Association Big School Coach of the Year after each of the last three seasons. The Mountaineers won 30 games during that period and played for the District 2 Class 3A title twice. “We’ve had great kids and great coaches,” Jackson said. “Like I said, this comes as a complete shock to me.” Nick Zapoticky, president of the Dallas Gridiron Club, said the group met Monday night and unanimously supports Jackson. Zapoticky’s son, Ryan, is a junior at Dallas and was the team’s starting quarterback this year. “Once we became aware of what was going on, we called a meeting,” Zapoticky said. “We’re there for the coaches and the teams. We want to retain our coach and his staff.” Zapoticky said the club is circulating petitions in support of Jackson. He said the group will be “out

Department of Education and university trustees, respectively, are conducting their own, separate probes. “We will make a response, even though our knowledge will not be complete by Dec. 16,” Erickson said Tuesday at a University Faculty Senate meeting. “We will respond as a work in progress to the NCAA.” NCAA president Mark Emmert last month said in a letter to Erickson that the governing body for college sports will look at “Penn State’s exercise of institutional control over its intercollegiate athletics programs” in the case of Sandusky, the retired defensive coordinator expected in court Dec. 13 on charges of 40 counts of child sex abuse. Sandusky maintains his innocence. Emmert has described Penn State and its trustees as being “extremely collaborative,” but also acknowledged Monday that the school may not be able to provide all the answers in time. The information could lead to a formal NCAA investigation of Penn

State, Emmert has said. The university will be open and honest to all investigations, Erickson said Tuesday, “and learn from it. Take the recommendations that come out ... implement them and move forward.” Erickson has vowed to make Penn State a leader in raising awareness of child abuse treatment, intervention and research. On Tuesday, he said the school’s share of Big Ten bowl revenue would now likely top at least $2 million — or $500,000 more than the amount Erickson had promised last week would be donated for programs at the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. The additional revenue will now go toward helping to establish a multi-campus institute that would work in the treatment and prevention, as well as research into child abuse. The first piece to the institute would be a Center for the Protection of Children to be based at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Erickson said.

in force” at Monday’s school board meeting. “We hope it makes a difference,” he said. “We have no idea what the motivation is to remove him. I’m a football parent and from what I’ve seen, Coach Jackson should be retained.” Zapoticky said he is not aware of any controversy surrounding Jackson or the team. “I know of nothing that would justify his removal,” he said. However, there have been issues the past few seasons. The Dallas football team recently completed four years of probation ordered by the District 2 Athletic Committee, the local extension of the PIAA. The team was under probation for the 2008 and 2009 seasons after a bench-clearing brawl in the 2008 season opener against Williamsport. The probation was extended through the 2010 and 2011 seasons after a Sept. 18, 2009, incident at halftime of a game at Tunkhannock in which several Dallas players urinated on the tennis courts. Jackson was suspended for the entire 2010 season by the District 2 Athletic Committee, a penalty later reduced to four games after the decision was appealed to the PIAA board of directors. The Dallas School Board later approved payments totaling $5,324.92 for legal fees for the hearings and

cleaning of the tennis courts. Dallas assistant coach Ted Jackson Jr. was suspended for a game this year after receiving consecutive unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in games against Wyoming Valley West and Crestwood. The Dallas Gridiron Club has between 200 and 300 members, Zapoticky said, including players and parents. He said between 150 and 200 attended the club’s recent meeting Monday. “We’re not just supporting Ted Jackson – we’re supporting all the coaches,” Zapoticky said. “If (Jackson) goes, they all will go. It’s a tragedy; these guys love to coach.” Zapoticky said the issue goes beyond wins and losses. “I’ve talked to a lot of kids who have come through the system,” he said. “Coach Jackson has had a lasting effect on them; he’s made them better men than just football players. He has instilled a lot in them to be successful in life.” The nine-member Dallas School Board consists of Fred Parry, Larry Schuler, Colleen Slocum, Bruce Goeringer, Catherine Wega, Richard Coslett, Charles Preece, Karen Kyle and Maureen Matiska. Jackson said he isn’t certain of the support he has on the school board. John Erzar contributed to this story.

$210M settlement in W.Va. mine blast

B R I E F

Twenty-nine miners were killed in the April 2010 explosion.

By LAWRENCE MESSINA and VICKI SMITH Associated Press

AP PHOTO

A partial view of the 2013 Dodge Dart, due in showrooms during the first half of next year.

BEAVER, W.Va. — The new owners of the West Virginia coal mine where 29 men were killed in an explosion agreed Tuesday to pay a record $210 million in penalties over what the government called an “entirely preventable” tragedy caused by the pursuit of profits ahead of safety. It is the biggest settlement ever reached in a U.S. mining disaster, and the

Dart name will return

Chrysler said Tuesday that it will use the Dart name for a new compact car based on Italian technology that it will introduce in the U.S. next year. The Dart, which is expected to get 40 miles per gallon of gas on the highway, is an extremely important car for Chrysler Group LLC, which currently has outdated offerings in the fast-growing compact car market. The new car is based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a compact sold in Europe, but will be wider and longer

Hours after the settlement was announced, federal regulators released a final report detailing 369 safety violations at the mine, including 12 that it said contributed to the blast. Fines related to those violations account for $10.8 million of the settlement, and the company is required to pay further fines for violations dating back several years. MSHA labeled nine of the contributing violations at the Upper Big Branch mine near Montcoal flagrant, the most serious designation. The flagrant violations include illegal warnings to miners underground that were on site and failure to conduct proper safety inspections.

money will go to compensate grieving families, bankroll cutting-edge safety improvements and pay for years of violations. Under the deal, Alpha Natural Resources — which acquired the mine’s owner, Massey Energy, earlier this year — will not be charged with any crimes in the April 2010 blast at the Upper Big Branch mine as long as the company abides by the settlement, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said. But the agreement does not prevent individual employees from being prosecuted. “No individuals are off the hook,” Goodwin said, adding that federal prosecutors are still investigating.

“Every time Massey sent miners into the UBB Mine, Massey put those miners’ lives at risk,” said MSHA director Joe Main. The agency also said it will conduct an internal review of MSHA’s actions at Upper Big Branch before and after the explosion. Relatives of the victims and officials with the United Mine Workers of America have rebuked the agency for failing to use all the tools it had to shut down a mine it should have known was dangerous. Goodwin, the federal prosecutor, noted that agreeing to the settlement “requires a recognition that there was criminal conduct at play.”

PPL case at Supreme Court

U.S. Supreme Court justices will hear arguments in a dispute over hydroelectric dams sitting on three Montana rivers. PPL Montana is appealing a state court ruling that the company must pay rent for use of land beneath the dams. The eventual Supreme Court ruling could affect property rights beneath streams and rivers nationwide. The case may hinge upon the Meriwether Lewis and William Clark expedition that opened up the West. Montana owned the titles to all navigable rivers at the time of statehood.

NEW YORK — Verizon Wireless is blocking Google’s new flagship phone from supporting Google’s attempt to make the smartphone the credit card of the future. In blocking the Google Wallet software from running on the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Verizon Wireless said Tuesday that it was holding off on providing a wallet application until it can offer “the best security and user experience.” Verizon and rivals AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA are part of a consortium called ISIS that is planning its own payment system. Google confirmed that Verizon had asked it not to include the wallet function in the Galaxy Nexus phone, due out soon. The way Google Wallet is supposed to work, the phone can be used to pay for merchandise in some stores, by communicating with payment terminals. Google calls the payment application a “wallet” because it can be loaded with payment “cards” from multiple sources. Right now, there are only two cards available: Citibank MasterCards and a prepaid card issued by Google. Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson said the company doesn’t block applications, but Google Wallet is different because it accesses a security chip in the phone.

square-foot Court, anchored by Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s. There are hundreds of stores in the two malls. Les Morris, director of corporate public relations at Simon Property Group, Indianapolis, said the project -with no public funding -- is expected to be finished in a couple of years, and that no completion date has been set. “You know it’s already a fabulous property; we’re really excited to enhance it even further,” Morris said. Kraveco Co. built the Plaza in 1963 as a strip mall. In the 1970s, the company built the Court at King of Prussia, correctly guessing that there was a market for upscale shopping near Philadelphia.

CHEF’S CORNER BILL PRICE VANDERLYN’S RESTAURANT

Sea bass and gnocchi a perfect pair

By MICHELE KAYAL

For The Associated Press

verybody knows at least one: a pretentious foodie who insists on froo-froo ingredients, laborious techniques and over-the-top dishes. • Well, this year they’re out of luck. Because 2011 was a year when cookbooks — even those by high-end and celebrity chefs — went all homey and nostalgic. Which is good news for those of us who don’t want to garnish a Wednesday-night dinner with hand-harvested truffle-salmon roe foam. • There were meatball books, tomes of rustic dishes and reminiscences on cooking your way back to childhood. The result? There are plenty of choices for those of us who must blend the joy of cooking with the sometimes crushing need to feed. • And that will make gift shopping for the food lovers in your life much easier. Here are our suggestions:

FOR THE HURRIED AND HARRIED For the busy cook who hates the postdinner cleanup, “EatingWell One-Pot Meals” (Countryman Press, 2011) offers more than 100 recipes for healthy, comforting food done in a single vessel. From classics such as skillet-roasted chicken and gravy to inventive dishes such as fennelspiked barley risotto from the slow cooker and sweet-and-spicy pork in the wok, the book helps families spend more time at the table than at the sink. ••• In many places around the world, a pressure cooker may be the only pot a family owns. And it’s not such a bad idea. “The Easy Pressure Cooker Cookbook” (Chronicle Books, 2011) serves up more than 300 ready-in-minutes recipes, from bacon and potato soup to barbecued brisket and veal stew with 40 cloves of garlic. It even makes dessert — think chocolate marble cheesecake and tasty bread puddings. ••• “Cook This Now” (Hyperion, 2011) by James Beard awardwinning food writer Melissa Clark showcases hearty, easy meals with pairings just unusual enough to keep things interesting. Rosemary-scented white beans meet farro, grilled sausages huddle with celery root and hazelnuts, and in the spring curry and coconut make their way into tomato soup. More than 120 inventive recipes take you from season to season.

FOR THE GROUPIES Glitz and glamour come home this year as celebrity chefs take to nesting. In his remarkably easy-tofollow “Cooking in Everyday English” (Oxmoor House, 2011), Todd English serves up red snapper and melon ceviche, wild mushroom couscous, tequila-braised short ribs, and, yes, chili. An entire chapter on family cooking offers kid-pleasers, such as butternut mac-andcheese and classic pizza. ••• Crab cakes with gingered grapefruit might not sound much like your home cooking, but this is Tuesday night food for Jean-Georges Vongerichten. In “Home cooking with Jean-Georges” (Clarkson Potter, 2011), gorgeous photos illustrate recipes for dishes such as veal scaloppini with broccoli rabe and lavender, and almond caramelized duck breasts with amaretto jus. Maybe not weeknight stuff, but a nice book for leisurely cooking. ••• And what gift season would be complete without Jamie Oliver? The peripatetic British chef’s “Meals in Minutes” (Hyperion, 2011) offers recipes for 50 full meals designed to take no more than a half-hour. Spinach feta pie with two salads and dessert, mustard chicken with scalloped potatoes, greens and a black forest affogato, and roast beef with baby popovers are all engineered to please busy, hungry families. ••• For the real chef groupies on your list —

the ones who don’t even care about the recipes — there’s “My Last Supper: The Next Course” (Rodale, 2011). In this sequel to the 2007 book, fifty chefs including Joel Robuchon, Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and David Chang reveal what they would eat for their last meal on earth. (Spoiler alert: Tom Colicchio wants a clam bake.) FOR WEEKEND WARRIORS It’s cold. It’s damp. Maybe it’s even snowing. “Sunday Roasts: A Year’s Worth of Mouthwatering Roasts” (Chronicle Books, 2011) conjures images of the perfect winter Sunday, with dishes like orangescented pork roast with fennel and potatoes, and lamb shanks with dates and olives. A standing rib roast with porcini mushroom sauce might even impress the in-laws. ••• “The Apple Lover’s Cookbook” (Norton, 2011) may be the best celebration of fall’s fruit that we’ve ever seen. Savory dishes such as pork and apple pie with cheddar sage crust pull together all the flavors of the season, and desserts go from classics like oatmeal-topped apple crisp to spiced apple cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. A primer on 59 varieties of apples and how to use them makes this a must-have for apple lovers. See BOOKS, Page 5C

Rocco DiSpirito rethinks classic (fatty) meatloaf By ROCCO DiSPIRITO For The Associated Press

AP PHOTO

In Rocco DiSpirito’s meatloaf recipe, kamut serves as a flavorful bulking and moistening agent to meatloaf.

I just can’t help but look at ingredients and try to find new and unexpected ways to use them. So when I started thinking about ways to give meatloaf a healthy makeover, I wondered... Could I use kamut cereal in place of high-carb, low-nutrition breadcrumbs? The answer turned out to be a very delicious yes! If you’ve never heard of kamut, let me introduce you. Kamut is one of the so-called ancient grains that has become a popular alternative to wheat.

It has 20 to 40 percent more protein, and is higher in good fats, vitamins and minerals. Plus, it can be tolerated by some with sensitivities to regular wheat. In this recipe, kamut serves as a flavorful bulking and moistening agent to the meatloaf instead of the more traditional breadcrumbs. But I didn’t stop with kamut. I also wanted to try something a little risky with this hearty, stick-to-your- ribs favorite. I wanted to reduce the amount of meat used to cut fat and calories. I know... I know ... It is, after all, meatloaf. Cut

that, and it just isn’t the same, right? Hear me out. I used chopped cremini mushrooms to replace some of the meat. Why mushrooms? They actually have a meaty flavor all their own. And trust me, no one will ever know that this recipe has less meat. You can even use more mushrooms and less meat than I did. It’s a great way to stretch your meatloaf and stretch your dollars. But not your waistline. I also tinkered with the blend of meats. I opted for lean See MEATLOAF, Page 3C

NOW THAT WE are in the heart of pumpkin season, I wanted to offer a dish using this versatile seasonal ingredient. I enjoy making flavored gnocchi and thought how awesome would Chilean Sea Bass be over Pumpkin Gnocchi. After a little experimentation with some Asian ingredients, my suspicions were confirmed once I created this recipe. The delicate sweet flavor of the sea bass is highlighted by the Asian influences used in the preparation of this dish, allowing the characteristics of each ingredient to shine through. The contrast of textures highlights the elegant simplicity of this entrée. If you would rather enjoy my creation without the work, Vanderlyn’s will offer Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass with Asian Coconut Cream over Pumpkin Gnocchi this week during dinner service. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com. •••

BOOKS Continued from Page 1C

FOR ARMCHAIR TRAVELERS For the carb lover on your list, you can’t do better than “The Glorious Pasta of Italy” (Chronicle, 2011), a comprehensive guide to hearty, handmade spaghetti, ravioli, gnocchi and the richly diverse sauces that go with them. Try the ragu all’Abruzzese (a simple meat sauce), and you will never go back to the stuff in the jar. ••• “A New Turn in the South” (Clarkson Potter, 2011) presents chef Hugh Acheson’s inventive take on Southern cuisine. For the cook who’s mastered hoppin’ John and collards, Acheson offers pea, ham hock and mustard green soup with cornbread croutons, butterbraised cabbage with caraway, and short ribs with hominy. ••• Allegra McEvedy’s “Bought, Borrowed and Stolen” (Conran Octopus, 2011) takes cooks on a world tour with recipes such as Portuguese caldo verde, Filipino chili noodles and Venison biltong (jerky) from South Africa. Beautiful photos and a scrapbook feel make the book a nice read. FOR THE KIDS “OMG Pancakes!” (Avery, 2011) pretty much says it all. Little mouths will gobble up green alligators, bees in their hive, puppy-dog faces and unicorns, all captured in pancakes and brought to life by the magic of natural food coloring and squeeze bottles. Perfect for snow days and sleepovers. ••• And if there’s no other way to get your kids into the kitchen, “SpongeBob’s Kitchen Mission Cookbook” (Wiley, 2011) offers a primer on vegetable parfaits, healthy egg dishes and whole-wheat pizzas. FOR THE SPECIALISTS “Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day” (St. Martin’s Press, 2011) will get the baker on your list jumping with glee.

Husband is aging much too well for his worrying wife to deal with Dear Abby: When I married my husband, “Mason,” 30 years ago, I was the only girl he could get. He was a great catch by my standards. But back then nobody else, which was fine with me. Mason is aging gracefully, and there’s something about him now that every woman is suddenly interested in. They all treat him like he’s a new toy. I used to think I wanted to go out more — but now I just want to stay home and hide my husband inside. The real problem is, Mason loves the attention. I don’t know how to handle this without getting my feelings hurt, pouting and being incredibly jealous.

I have asked my husband several times to talk to his dad about these early morning visits. He refuses to say anything. We have two kids who are 4 and 9 months. Sleep is something we cherish. What do I do? — Annoyed Daughter-In-Law in Pennsylvania

DEAR ABBY

ter off both of you will be. If you can’t do it on your own, counseling could help because hiding is not the answer.

Am I crazy? Please help. — Desperate Grandma On the East Coast

ADVICE He gives me no reason to think he’ll be unfaithful, but I worry. Help! — Wife of a Late Bloomer

Dear Abby: My son and daughterin-law live like pigs. I would look the other way or not visit, but now they have four children. Not only are my grandchildren unkempt and dirty but my son and his wife foist their parenting duties off on their daughter, who’s only 10. It’s HER job to get her brothers up and bathed, changed, dressed and fed so Mom and Dad can sleep late. The poor girl is exhausted all the time. My son sees nothing wrong with these “chores,” and I’m afraid to say anything because I know my daughter-in-law will cut me off from the kids. What’s sad is my son allows it.

Dear Desperate Grandma: You’re not crazy; you’re a caring grandmother who can’t stand seeing her grandchildren neglected. Now pick up the phone and call Childhelp. The toll-free number is 800-422-4453. The advocate who answers the call can give you information about agencies that can help, and your confidentiality will be protected.

Dear Daughter-In-Law: Because your husband refuses to stand up and explain to his father that he needs to come at a specific time that task now falls to YOU. Speak up!

Dear Abby: My father-in-law drops by our house nearly every weekend. He arrives so early that we’re usually still in bed. He also rides a motorcycle that sounds like a jet engine and disturbs our neighbors.

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.)

Dear Wife: Congratulations. You are now a member of a “club” comprised of spouses living in the shadows of actors, politicians, moguls, etc. However, your self-esteem issues could create real problems for you and your husband if you don’t learn to deal with them. You weren’t the “only woman mason could get” — you’re the woman Mason chose to spend his life with. The sooner you accept that, the bet-

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you used to give your love so that you could receive love back, but now you give love just because it comes so naturally for you. It’s the easiest thing for you to do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll experience a heightened, joyful feeling, and the best part is that it will be effortless to maintain. It will come over you like the sun and warm you through and through. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do people choose one another, or are they meant for one another? You’re not sure if you believe in destiny, but in certain moments today, it will seem plausible. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be ultra-observant today, and exactitude will be your forte. Peruse important documents, financial statements and contracts for errors. You could catch a mistake in time to save the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wherever possible, you’ll use the resources that you encounter to create opportunities. But you won’t push. Things have to happen naturally for you to be excited. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll tap into an extra jolt of power and will apply it to improving your physical performance, work and/or male relationships. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be motivated by a timeline. Make sure you also know what the rewards are for sticking to each deadline. You’re internally driven, but it also helps to have obvious external accountability and rewards.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone will check in with you on a subject of great import. Don’t worry. You won’t be expected to come up with all the answers. For now, it’s enough that you are open to hearing what the questions are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel confident that you don’t have to control a relationship in order for it to move in a direction that will please you. You’ve chosen the right partners and allies so your common interests will drive the action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have something important to impart. You feel that if you touch even one person with your message, it will have been worthwhile. The reality is that you’ll touch many. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are someone on whom nothing is lost. You don’t always act on what you see. In fact, you usually don’t feel the need. You’ll log today’s observations and wait for the right moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unexpected encounters will get you all charged up. You may run into the one who makes your heart skip a beat or the one who secretly adores you from afar. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 7). You’ll accomplish a physical goal and take actions toward optimum health over the next 10 weeks. In May, you’ll act on something you read or hear and will be wildly successful. The summer will make family memories. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 3, 11, 40 and 19.

The proposed Francis E. Walter Hydroelectric Project would consist of the following: (1) a 600-foot-long, 16-footdiameter steel penstock attached to the existing outlet; (2) a concrete powerhouse 50 feet long by 75 feet wide; (3) two 4.5megawatt (MW) generators for a total installed capacity of 9.0 MW; (4) a tailrace channel to direct flow back to the Lehigh River; (5) a proposed 0.5-mile-long, 12.4kilovolt transmission line interconnecting with an existing Pennsylvania Power and Light Corporation distribution line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 26.0 gigawatt-hours.
