HARRISBURG — As soon as he walked into the Penn State locker room, Mike McQueary heard running water and rhythmic, slapping sounds of “skin on skin.” He looked in a mirror and saw a naked Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach, holding a young boy by the waist from behind, up against the wall in the

campus shower. “I just saw Coach Sandusky in the showers with a boy and what I saw was wrong and sexual,” McQueary recalled telling his father that night in 2002. He repeated it the next morning to coach Joe Paterno, who slumped deep into his chair at his kitchen table. “He said, ‘I’m sorry you had to see that,”’ McQueary said. McQueary’s testimony

The settlement was made on behalf of the real estate developer only. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Real estate developer Robert Mericle has agreed to pay $17.75 million to settle a series of lawsuits filed against him for his role in the Luzerne County juvenile justice scandal, according to a tentative settlement Mericle agreement filed in federal court Friday. The payout also could include an additional $1.75 million should Mericle prevail in a court dispute he has with one of his insurance companies, according to the agreement. The settlement was made on behalf of Mericle only. It does not impact other defendants who remain in the lawsuits, including attorney Robert Powell, PA Child Care, Western PA Child Care, MidAtlantic Youth Services and former judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan. The settlement comes three years after the first of nine lawsuits were filed in connection with the juvenile justice scandal that resulted in criminal charges against Mericle, Ciavarella, Conahan and Powell. The specific allegations in each of the lawsuits varied, but were based on the general premise that Conahan and Ciavarella conspired with other defendants to improperly

PITTSTON TWP. – Failed votes at the Friday meeting of the bi-county board of the WilkesBarre/Scranton International Airport prove the need for a new body to oversee the airport, Luzerne County commissioners said. Motions to approve pay raises

for non-union employees, provide both Lackawanna and Luzerne counties with contributions toward retirement funds and to repay each county $900,000 in loans all failed, even though a majority voted yes. The board composed of three commissioners from each county requires two positive votes from each county, so because either one or both of the Lackawanna County commissioners in attendance voted no, the votes failed. “What happened here today is a perfect example of why an authority needs to be formed. So

this board can be autonomous,” said Luzerne County Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla. A week ago, plans to form an authority to oversee the airport were all but certain. But a lastminute change of heart by a Lackawanna County commissioner grounded the planned switch. On Friday, during the board’s final meeting of the year – and the last meeting for all five commissioners attending -- the gloves came off on issues regarding the failed effort to create the authorSee AIRPORT, Page 7A

At least two firefighters and an ment’s Sam’s Club credit card in officer of the fire department’s re- the amount of $3,706 for personal lief association told investigators purchases. Assistant Fire Chief they saw no financial records, by- James Youkoski told investigators laws or reviewed minutes of meet- he “has not seen any books, minings among officers of the all-vol- utes or by-laws in more than 12

years,” and Richard Hart, a township firefighter for nearly seven years, claimed he “never seen any bookkeeping ledgers or documents” for the relief association’s account, according to charges filed. Robert Charles, relief association secretary, told investigators he did not see any books, by-laws, ledgers, bills or receipts for the fire department or relief association. Hart claimed Yuknavich “is the only person who controlled the bills, cash and checks.” Yuknavich, Youkoski, Hart and Charles could not be reached for comment on Friday. State police began their investigation when Yuknavich did not comply with a subpoena from the

state Auditor General’s Office in March 2008. The subpoena sought financial records, equipment purchases, bills and receipts. State auditors reviewed the fire department’s bank records that allegedly showed payments to several unknown credit card balances. Yuknavich’s attorney, Barry Dyller, said the criminal complaint affidavit that supports the theft charges against his client is cloudy at the least. “It’s very vague and it doesn’t say any specifics,” Dyller said. “Quite frankly, it does not appear to me that he’s guilty at all. I’d certainly like to see what they have. As I see it, the charges come from a

vague affidavit that does not make any sense.” Yuknavich is free on $15,000 bail on the theft charges. He is also free on $10,000 bail on unrelated assault charges filed by Plains Township police based on allegations from his former girlfriend, Denise Pavlick. Pavlick claimed Yuknavich approached a car she was in with Kenneth Scialpi outside her Oak Street residence on Nov. 7. Yuknavich punched Scialpi in the face and pulled Pavlick from the car, threatening to put bullets in their heads, according to the criminal complaint. A condition of his bail on the assault charges forbids Yuknavich from contacting Pavlick or Scialpi.

Marshals: Man arrested was set to flee from U.S.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

A Salem Township man charged by police with assaulting a woman he held captive in his house was apprehended Friday morning before he fled the country, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Harry Peter Joline, 43, used his child’s identity to apply for a passport with the U.S. Department of State with intentions to fly to Montreal, Canada, the U.S. Marshals Service said. Joline was wanted by Salem Township police after a woman from Virginia claimed he assaulted her and would not allow her to leave his house near Shickshinny for two days in November. She told police she met Joline on the social network site Facebook, and was lured to his house on Nov. 8. Joline abandoned the woman in Nescopeck, where she contacted police. The U.S. Marshal’s Service said Joline was serving a federal probation sentence for fraud. Federal court records say Joline was convicted of altering his Social Security number to apply for a credit card in June 2005.

A federal warrant was issued for Joline on Dec. 7 after he failed to surrender on charges filed by Salem Township police. Joline allegedly applied for a passport on Dec. 15 using his child’s altered information. Federal investigators learned Joline was staying at a house in Bronx, N.Y., while waiting for a flight on Friday from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Montreal. . In a similar incident while Joline was on federal probation on the credit card fraud conviction, Joline was captured by the U.S. Marshals Service on Nov. 3, 2009, when he attempted to flee to Mexico, according to federal court records. Joline was captured on a bus near Waco, Texas, with a forged passport. “This case demonstrates the importance of the U.S. Marshals’ mission to track down violent, repeat offenders before they flee the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts,” U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane said. It remained unknown when Joline will be arraigned on the charges filed by Salem Township police.

UNICO gift will help kids By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Plastic bags filled with toys and clothing covered the entire floor of the gymnasium at the Salvation Army this week. They will soon be delivered to children of families in need at Christmas. As workers and volunteers were busy filling bags for the record number of recipients this year, the Salvation Army received some major help from UNICO – a check for $7,500 given in the name of The Times Leader 2011 Giving Guide. “This is very generous of UNICO,” said Capt. Patty Richwine of the Salvation Army. “This will go a long way to help the people we serve. The donation is very much appreciated and very much needed.” Richwine said more than 1,800 children will have a brighter Christmas thanks to donors like UNICO, the Giving Guide and the efforts of the Salvation Army. “We are seeing a lot more people in need than ever before,” Richwine said. “And we want to thank the community. It shows again that when people realize the need that is out there, they seem to dig a little deeper into their pockets and give.” Richwine said the annual Ket-

tle Drive is “on pace” to reach its $160,000 goal. “The Times Leader Giving Guide tells the stories of need in our community,” said Joe Butkiewicz, executive editor of The Times Leader. “This year we focused the stories on people who were affected by the flooding in September. “Every year, our readers and advertisers respond beyond expectation. That’s certainly the case with the members of UNICO. They’ve made substantial donations in the past and this year the organization made a very generous donation of $7,500 to the Salvation Army to help flood victims. It’s a great group of people that cares about helping the community,” he said. Presenting the check on behalf of UNICO were Dr. William Anzalone, president of the organization; his brother, attorney Jamie Anzalone; attorney John Terrana; Frank Forlin, past UNICO president, and Leo Sperazza. William Anzalone said the money was raised from the 61st annual UNICO football game. He said 100 percent of all ticket sales and 50 percent of all advertising revenue were donated to organizations that are helping victims of the 2011 flooding. He said $7,500 was donated to The Times Leader Giving Guide and

Eatery’s decorations stolen It appears a holiday Grinch of sorts was at the Pizza Perfect restaurant last weekend, after the business said seven turtledove ornaments were stolen from a tree. Tina Richards, a manager at the Carverton Road restaurant, said the ornaments went missing on Dec. 10, and that they have not yet been returned. Richards said the ornaments are of sentimental value to the restaurant. They were taken from a tree inside the ladies rest room. The doves, about the size of a parakeet, are hand-painted glass, with a tail of feathers. Pizza Perfect promises no question asked about the return of the holiday doves, and asks the thief to “have a holiday heart.” The restaurant can be reached at 696-2100.

It links a gathering line collecting gas from Shell Upstream America and Ultra Petroleum wells between Mansfield and Wellsboro, Tioga County, to a portion of UGI’s distribution network serving 15,000 homes in Tioga, Bradford and Potter counties.

Almost wrapped up Catholic Social Services still needs gifts for girls 9-12. By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Christmas brings to mind images of small children and gifts, but this stereotype has left one age group shortchanged, said Diane Colleran, chairman of Catholic Social Services holiday toy drive. “People look mainly to buy for younger children,” she said. “Our 9- to 12-year-old girls group is lacking.”

Ironically, Colleran said, the age group also has the highest number of children. In the basement of Our Lady of Hope church, spread out over several tables, toys, stuffed animals and clothing lay waiting to be chosen for a special child. Walking through, not an empty counter spot could be seen in the toys for young children. But at the 9- to 12year-old girl section, items were less abundant. In an effort to ensure all children can receive a gift, Colleran is seeking lastminute donations. She is suggesting

WASHINGTON — The House has passed a $1 trillionplus catchall budget bill paying for day-to-day budgets of 10 Cabinet departments and averting a government shutdown. The 296-121 vote to approve the measure represented a rare moment of bipartisanship in a polarized Capitol. Lawmakers are also seeking compromise on separate legislation to renew jobless benefits and a cut in payroll taxes. The vote sends the measure to the Senate, which was expected to pass it today. The bill puts in place budget curbs mandated under an Au-

gust pact between President Barack Obama and Congress. It trims spending for most domestic agencies and awards the Pentagon the smallest budget hike in recent memory. It pays for overseas military operations and a slew of programs ranging from border security to flood control to combating AIDS and famine in Africa. Many provisions sought by House Republicans were dropped from the bill before its passage, and Democrats blocked a series of GOP assaults on Environmental Protection Agency regulations, though the agency’s budget absorbed a cut of more than 3 percent. War costs would be $115 bil-

Drum major death homicide

Sex abuse in church is alleged

OFFERING HIS THANKS

he death of a Florida A&M University drum major has been ruled a homicide after an autopsy showed he died of internal bleeding caused by blunt force trauma. Officials in Orlando said Friday that Robert Champion had bruises on his chest, arms, shoulder and back. Officials believe he died following a hazing ritual. The 26-year-old student’s Nov. 19 death revealed a culture of hazing within FAMU’s famed band, the “Marching 100.” It led to the suspension of longtime band director Julian White. Four students suspected of involvement in hazing were briefly expelled after his death but later reinstated.

Radioactive cylinders found

Inspectors at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport found 18 cylinders of radioactive Sodium-22 in luggage bound for Iran on Thursday and were searching for the shipment’s owners. The bag exceeded safe radiation levels by more than 20 times and set off alarms, the Interfax news agency reported. The material had been packed in separate steel cylinders. Sodium-22 is used in medical applications. The material is produced in a cyclotron by artificial particle acceleration, and does not occur in nature. Cyclotrons are normally used for physics research. BEIRUT

Syrian violence continues

Tens of thousands of Syrians, some of them calling for their president’s execution, protested against the authoritarian regime on Friday, as the Arab League indefinitely postponed a meeting on the crisis because of divisions over how to stop the bloodshed. Security forces opened fire during protests and conducted security raids in several places around the country, killing at least 10 people, most of them in Syria’s rebellious central region, activists said. The army also sent reinforcements into a southern area where military defectors recently launched deadly attacks on regime troops. The demonstrators urged Arab leaders to move quickly to try to end the violence, saying the Arab League’s delays were allowing the regime of President Bashar Assad more time to kill. The 22-member League has proposed a peace plan, suspended Syria’s membership and imposed sanctions but has not been able to agree on next steps after Syria refused to allow in monitors to ensure compliance with the peace proposal.

After elections, turmoil

Soldiers stormed an anti-military protest camp outside Egypt’s Cabinet building Friday, beating women with sticks and hurling chunks of concrete and glass onto protesters from the roof of the parliament in a resurgence of turmoil only a day after millions voted in parliamentary elections. At least three protesters were shot to death in the clashes, including a prominent Muslim cleric, activists said. The heavy-handed assault was apparently an attempt to clear out protesters who have been camped out in front of the building for three weeks demanding the ruling military leave power. But the mayhem threatened to spark a new round of violence after deadly clashes between youth revolutionaries and security forces in November that lasted for days and left more than 40 dead.

Mexican city begins countdown

A digital clock will count down the time left before the solstice when some believe world will end. By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — A city in southern Mexico wants to live each moment as if it were the last. Tourism officials in Tapachula have installed a digital clock to count down the time left before the Dec. 21, 2012, solstice, when some believe the world will end. The clock starts Dec. 21, a year before the supposed apocalypse. Chiapas state tourism regional director Manolo Alfonso Pinot said Friday that Mayan priests will perform a ceremony at the nearby archaeological site of Izapa. Maya experts say the doomsday fears are a misreading of Maya stone inscrip-

tions that mention the date, saying the Mayans only considered it the end of one calendar cycle and the beginning of another. Pinot said he doesn’t believe the world will end, but looks at it as a sort of beginning, in the business sense at least. “A lot of people know they can fill their body with energy if they come to these exceptional sites,” he said. “If people are interested, we have to take advantage of this.” Tapachula, best known as a gritty border town crossed by Central American migrants en route to the United States, is not a popular Mayan tourism destination. But nearby Izapa is a place where many stelae have been found, including the “Tree of Life” stone discovered in the 1950s and thought to convey an ancient Mayan tale. At Izapa, close to the Tajumulco volcano, Pinot says a Mesoamerican ball court, a carved stone and the throne of the Izapa ruler face a straight line that on

Dec. 21, 2012 is expected to align with the planets. “It is hard to say what you will be able to see that day,” he said. The doomsday theories stem from a pair of tablets that describe the return of a Mayan god at the end of a 13th period of 400 years, which falls on Dec. 21, 2012. Experts say the date marks the end of a 5,125-year cycle that began in 3113 B.C., and the start of another.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Thousands of children suffered sexual abuse in Dutch Catholic institutions over the past 65 years, and church officials knew about the abuse but failed to stop it or help victims because they feared sparking scandals, according to a long-awaited report released Friday. The report also estimated that one in 10 Dutch children suffered some form of sexual abuse more broadly in society. The findings detailed some of the most widespread abuse yet linked to the Catholic Eijk church, which has been under fire for years over abuse allegations in multiple countries including the United States. The abuse ranged from “unwanted sexual advances” to rape, the report said. Abusers numbered in the hundreds, at least, and included priests, brothers, pastors and lay people who worked in religious orders and congregations. The number of abuse victims who spent some of their youth in church institutions likely lies somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000, according to the probe, which went back as far as 1945. The investigating commission received some 1,800 complaints of abuse at Catholic schools, seminaries and orphanages. Archbishop Wim Eijk said victims would be compensated by a commission the Dutch church set up last month and which has a scale starting at (euro) 5,000 ($6,500) and rising to a maximum of (euro) 100,000 ($130,000) depending on the nature of the abuse.

GOP-led U.S. House delays switch to new high-tech light bulbs by 9 months By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress are flipping the dimmer switch on a law that sets new energysavings standards for light bulbs. They’ve reached a deal to delay until October enforcement of standards that some fear will bring about the end of old-style, 100-watt bulbs. GOP lawmakers say they’re trying to head off more government interference in people’s

lives. Language postponing enforcement of the light bulb law — it was set to take effect Jan. 1 — was included in a massive spending bill that funds the government through September. The House passed the measure on Friday, with approval expected today in the Senate. Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the light bulb delay shows Congress is listening to the American peo-

ple. “We heard the message loud and clear,” said Upton, R-Mich. “Americans don’t want government standards determining how they light their homes.” Jim Presswood, federal energy policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, called the GOP-backed delay dim-witAP PHOTO ted. “It’s just a completely ridiculous General Electric’s 9-watt Energy Smart LED light bulbs are tested. move by Congress,” Presswood said.

Justice costly for county, municipality The Jerry Sandusky hearing was brief, but expenses are starting to mount. By ANNE DANAHY Centre Daily Times

With the Jerry Sandusky preliminary hearing finished, local officials are now paying the bills. The costs to Centre County and Bellefonte add up to $21,700, with the biggest expense being wages. That doesn’t include how much the event will set back the county sheriff, police departments in the Centre Region, Spring Township and state police, all of which assisted Tuesday. Sandusky ended up waiving his

and the entire central Pennsylvania campus. Paterno and the university president have lost their jobs, and officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are accused of lying to a grand jury about what McQueary told them. A Pennsylvania judge on Friday held Curley, the university’s athletic director, and Schultz, a retired senior vice president, for trial after the daylong hearing. Curley said that McQueary never relayed the seriousness of what he saw, and said he was only told that Sandusky was “horsing around” with a boy but that his conduct wasn’t sexual. He said he told the university president about the episode and the top official at a children’s charity that Sandusky founded, but never told university police. “I didn’t see any reason because I didn’t think at the time it was a crime,” he told the grand jury, according to testimony read into the record on Friday. Curley, Schultz and Paterno have been criticized for never telling police about the 2002 charges. Prosecutors say Sandusky continued to abuse boys for six more years. Sandusky has denied having inappropriate sexual contact with boys. In about two hours on the witness stand, McQueary said again and again that what he saw was a sexual act, although he stopped short of saying he was sure that Sandusky, now 67, had raped the boy. “I believe Jerry was sexually molesting him and having some

But county and municipal officials spent days planning to make the logistics, including facilitating an onslaught of media trucks, run smoothly. The small town square became a hub of activity starting Monday night, and by all accounts the planning paid off, with police saying everything went smoothly. That effort - and the costs involved could offer a preview of what’s to come if Sandusky ends up going to trial in Bellefonte on charges that he sexually abused 10 boys. Bellefonte manager Ralph Stewart said the borough’s $4,700 in costs came from about $3,700 in police overtime and about $1,000 in public works overtime. He said officials tried

type of sexual intercourse with him,” McQueary said on Friday. He said later he “can’t say100 percent” that Sandusky and the boy were having intercourse because he was seeing Sandusky from behind. He said after talking to his father, he went over to Paterno’s home the next morning and said that what he had seen “was way over the lines, it was extremely sexual in nature.” He said he would not have used words like sodomy or intercourse with Paterno; he did not get into that much detail out of respect for the coach, he said. Paterno told the grand jury that McQueary said he saw Sandusky doing something of a “sexual nature” with the youngster but that he didn’t press for details. “I didn’t push Mike ... because he was very upset,” Paterno said. “I knew Mike was upset, and I knew some kind of inappropriate action was being taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster.” Paterno told McQueary he would talk to others about what he’d reported. McQueary said he met nine or 10 days later with Curley and Schultz and told them he’d seen Sandusky and a boy, both naked, in the shower after hearing skinon-skin slapping sounds. “I would have described that it was extremely sexual and I thought that some kind of intercourse was going on,” said McQueary. McQueary said he was left with the impression both men took his report seriously. When asked why he didn’t go to police, he referenced Schultz’s position as a vice president at the universi-

The settlement is a master agreement that affects individual plaintiffs who filed suit, as well as all other juveniles who appeared before Ciavarella between Jan. 1, 2003 and May 28, 2008, regardless if they instituted a lawsuit. Attorneys have estimated 2,400 juveniles and their parents are eligible to receive payment. The settlement does not specify how much of the settlement will be earmarked for attorneys fees or how much each plaintiff will receive. The payment to the plaintiffs will be decided by a “claims committee” that will each claim. The amount of money paid to each person will be dependent, in part, on whether they were incarcerated in an out-of-home placement either at PA or Western PA Child Care or some other juvenile facility. Their parents will be entitled to recover money they paid toward the child’s incarceration.

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — One of Jerry Sandusky’s lawyers says he wasn’t allowed in the courtroom to hear testimony at a preliminary hearing for his client’s child sex abuse case. Karl Rominger told The Associated Press that the decision was “a little unfair” even though the judge had the right to bar him. Rominger apparently didn’t participate in the advance process for requesting assigned seats. Rominger says he wasn’t asking to bump anyone else from the courtroom and was also prohibited from sitting in an overflow room. Mike McQueary testified at Friday’s hearing that he saw Sandusky sexually molesting a boy in a locker room. Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to properly report what McQueary allegedly told them. Both men say they are innocent.

ty who had overseen the campus police “I thought I was talking to the head of the police, to be frank with you,” he said. “In my mind it was like speaking to a (district attorney). It was someone who police reported to and would know what to do with it.” The square-jawed, red-haired assistant coach spoke in a steady voice in his first public account of the alleged abuse, sometimes turning his seat and leaning toward defense lawyers to answer questions. His voice rose a few times and he blushed once when describing the sexual encounter in the shower. Defense lawyers for Curley and Schultz argued that a perjury charge should not be based solely on a person’s testimony under oath contradicting someone

Settlement pleases father Jack Van Reeth, the father of Jessica Van Reeth, one of the lead plaintiffs in the case, said he was pleased to learn of the settlement. Jessica was incarcerated for three months at age 16 after she was found to possess a small amount of marijuana, her first offense. Van Reeth said he does not know yet how much he and his daughter, now 20, will recover. That’s not his main focus, he said. “Much more important than the money is the fact these people are finally being held accountable for their actions,” Van Reeth said. “It’s so important for the young people of Luzerne County so see that the rich and powerful are not, in the end, above the law.” Mericle, represented by attorney Eric Kraeutler, does not admit to any wrongdoing, according to the settlement. His attorneys and attorneys for The Juvenile Law Center, which represented the juveniles along with several other attorneys, said they believed the settlement was in the best interest of all parties, given the complexity and uncertainly that surrounded the litigation. “We are pleased to get this settlement and are thrilled for the kids who will re-

else’s testimony. The defense said uncorroborated testimony from McQueary is not enough and sought to pick apart the ways he described the shower scene differently to different people. The defense noted that McQueary admitted changing his description of the shower encounter when speaking with Paterno — enough so that the coach didn’t believe a crime had occurred. McQueary said he had stopped by a campus football locker room to drop off a pair of sneakers in the spring of 2002 when he saw Sandusky with the boy, who he estimated was 10 or 12 years old. McQueary, 37, said he has never described what he saw as anal rape or anal intercourse and couldn’t see Sandusky’s genitals, but that “it was very clear that it

ceive help after all that happened to them,” said attorney Barry Dyller of Wilkes-Barre, who filed suit on behalf of William Conway. In a press release, Marsha Levick of the Juvenile Law Center commended Mericle for approaching the settlement discussion in an “open and honest way.” The center said it would make no comment beyond information contained in the press release.

ultimately changed his mind. “I was told the new (Lackawanna County) commissioners were going to litigate to reverse the creation of the authority,” Washo said. “Taxpayers of Lackawanna County are tired of litigation. I made a decision that I did not want to walk out the door causing more litigation and more contentiousness. I leave feeling greatly disappointed that Lackawanna County was not able to deliver our necessary support to create an authority.” Both Petrilla and Urban, after the meeting, said Washo’s reasoning rang hollow.

looked like there was intercourse going on.” In its report last month, the grand jury summarized McQueary’s testimony as saying he “saw a naked boy ... with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky.” McQueary said he peeked into the shower three times — the first via a mirror, the other two times directly. The last time he looked in, Sandusky and the boy had separated, he said. He said he didn’t say anything, but “I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them.” McQueary said the entire encounter — from when he first entered the locker room to when he retreated to his office — lasted about 45 seconds. Curley told the grand jury that

They are not obligated to agree to the settlement. They can decide to opt-out and seek to file individual lawsuits against Mericle. Judge’s approval needed The settlement must be approved by a judge before it becomes final. It also includes language that would permit Mericle to withdraw from the agreement if he determines that he is an “unacceptably high” financial risk from persons who decided to opt out of the settlement. Under the agreement, Mericle would have to provide evidence to prove he is at risk and that he took reasonable measures to try to mitigate that risk. Should he withdraw from the agreement, attorneys for the plaintiffs would have a right to challenge that decision in court. The civil cases stem from charges that were filed against Ciavarella, Conahan, Powell and Mericle in 2009. Ciavarella was convicted in February of multiple charges related to the scheme, including racketeering and money laundering, and is now serving a 28-year prison sentence.

“I don’t think litigation would have went anywhere,” said Petrilla who also leaves office Jan. 2, along with her fellow Luzerne County commissioners, Washo and Lackawanna County Commissioner Bruce Smallacombe. Only O’Brien, who was absent from Friday’s meeting, ran for another term as commissioner and will be on the airport board next year. Urban said making decisions based on threats isn’t the way to run a government. “They never stop me from doing things,” Urban said of threats. He also said he didn’t believe the

he couldn’t recall his specific conversation with McQueary, but McQueary never reported seeing anal intercourse or other sexual conduct. He said he spoke to Sandusky about it, who first denied having been in the shower with a boy, but later changed his story. Schultz said he remembered McQueary and Paterno describing what the younger coach saw only in a very general way. “I had the impression it was inappropriate,” Schultz told the grand jury. “I had the feeling it was some kind of wrestling activity and maybe Jerry might have grabbed a young boy’s genitals.” Under cross-examination, McQueary said he considered what he saw a crime but didn’t call police because “it was delicate in nature.” “I tried to use my best judgment,” he said. “I was sure the act was over.” He said he never tried to find the boy. Paterno, Schultz and Curley didn’t testify, but District Judge William C. Wenner read their grand jury testimony from January at the Dauphin County hearing. Curley’s attorney, Caroline Roberto, said prosecutors “will never be able to reach their burden of proof at a trial.” Schultz’s attorney, Tom Farrell, predicted his client would be acquitted. He also took a shot at Paterno, saying, “I’m an Italian from Brooklyn, and he may not have called the police but he may have done what I would have done, which is get the boys in the car with a few baseball bats and crowbars and take it to the fellow.”

Conahan pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and was sentenced to 17 ½ years in prison. Powell was sentenced in November to 18 months in prison. Mericle pleaded guilty in September 2009 to withholding information on a crime for his role in the scandal. He has not yet been sentenced. As part of his plea, Mericle agreed to set up a $2.1 million fund to benefit the health and welfare of children in Luzerne County. That fund is separate from the civil suit settlement. Mericle consistently has denied that he had any knowledge of a scheme to improperly incarcerate juveniles. At his guilty plea hearing, Mericle admitted paid $1.8 million in “finder’s fees” to Ciavarella and Conahan for their assistance in helping him obtain the contract to build the two juvenile centers. Federal prosecutors said the payment was a legitimate transaction. The crime, they said, is that Mericle, at Ciavarella’s request, paid the money through Powell. At some point Mericle became aware that the judges made the request so they could disguise the source of the income. Mericle failed to disclose that information to federal agents who questioned him about the deal.

threats of lawsuits to overturn the commissioners’ actions would have panned out. Smallacombe shared a conversation he had with O’Brien before the Wednesday vote, in which O’Brien told Smallacombe “you do what you got to do. I’m going to overturn it in two weeks.” Petrilla said next year’s commissioners would not have had that power. “We have the authority to approve an authority,” Petrilla said. “I don’t think they would have had the authority to overturn it.” Petrilla pointed to three failed motions at Friday’s meeting as

reasons why an authority is needed to oversee the airport. Urban said that thanks to the fear of litigation, it’s likely that real litigation will occur. He said he will seek the support of his fellow commissioners to take legal recourse against the airport to recoup the $900,000 Luzerne County lent the airport to pay its local share of the terminal project. He said he will also seek $300,000 in annual required contributions owed to the county to fund the airport retirees’ pension fund. He said the failed votes Friday left the county with little choice.

Vincent de Paul Kitchen until 2:30 p.m. this weekend, or donors can call Colleran at 287-2012. Monday morning, the doors of the church, at 40 Park Ave., will open and registered families may come in and chose a gift, stocking stuffers, hats scarves, gloves and other clothing. Colleran said this year, with the economy, job market, and flooding, 1,700 families signed up, about 200 more than last year. Every year Catholic Social Services teams up with the U.S. Marines’ Toys for Tots program as well as local parishes to collect toys for the families in need. Donations from local parishes did help and Colleran was appreciative, but with the church consolidations, parish donations were down from last year, she said. “We are very thankful for Gunnery Sgt. Jones from the Wyoming (unit),” she said. The Marines arrived with two truckloads of toys for the drive, Colleran said. “It was one big group effort,” she said.

and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance in March 2010, as well as unrelated counts of possession a small amount of marijuana and public drunkenness in November stemming from a February incident. Deputy Attorney General Tim Doherty prosecuted the case. Ricci was represented by attorney John Donovan. Doherty has said Ricci participated in distributing approximately 1,000 grams of cocaine from July 2008 to March 2009. According to court papers, Ricci, also known as “J Bone,” sold suspected cocaine to a police informant on several occasions. In the unrelated public drunkenness case, Kingston police said Ricci and another man were fighting near James Street. Police said they

searched the two men, and found Ricci in possession of suspected marijuana. Ricci received 45 days credit for time already served in prison and must pay $4,257 in restitution costs. Other members of the motorcycle club have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing in Luzerne County Court, including Kenneth Koonrad, of Wilkes-Barre, who is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 20. Most recently, Michelle Ulitchney, of Wapwallopen, was sentenced to 23 months in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program for her role in the ring, as well as Anthony Manchio, 51, of Wapwallopen, who investigators say was the main cocaine supplier, was sentenced last month to five to 10 years in state prison on 13 related charges he pleaded guilty to in April. Thirteen others have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced.

Ex-professor held in porn case Retired Bloomsburg University instructor and former teacher are charged. By SEAN MURPHY Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma prosecutor said Friday he “fully expects” more young victims to emerge in the case of a former third-grade teacher accused of making child pornography involving her students and sharing it online with a retired college professor in Pennsylvania. Former McLoud school teacher Kimberly Ann Crain, 48, and retired Pennsylvania professor of early childhood development Gary Doby, 65, were charged Thursday in the case in which prosecutors allege Crain took photographs of as many as 14 young girls while they were changing in her

classroom and at her home and shared them with Doby. Crain also is accused of setting up video chats on her school computer between her students and a man named “Uncle G,” who authorities say was Doby. “Any person who has a child that’s been a student of Mrs. Crain has been on pins and needles wondering if their child is a victim,” said Pottawatomie County District Attorney Richard Smothermon. “We’ve had at least three or four more parents contact us. Potentially there are many more victims. “Until we have identified every victim, the investigation will continue.” Crain, who resigned in November, was charged with 23 felony counts, including eight counts of manufacturing juvenile pornography, 10 counts of lewd molestation and aggravated possession of juvenile

pornography. Doby, who was arrested Thursday outside his Bloomsburg home, was charged with eight counts of manufacturing juvenile pornography and one count of conspiracy to manufacture juvenile pornography. Crain and Doby were being held Friday on $1 million each. If convicted on all counts, Crain could be sentenced to life in prison, while Doby could face up to 170 years, Smothermon said. Doby was being held in Columbia County Prison near Bloomsburg University, from which he retired in 2008. Pennsylvania court officials said Friday they have no record of an attorney for Doby and that an extradition hearing hadn’t been scheduled. A not-guilty plea was entered on Crain’s behalf during her arraignment Thursday in Pottawatomie County.

States seek to postpone action on new laws By KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press

AP FILE PHOTOS

In this July 30, 1999 photo, Keeli, a Chimpanzee living at the Ohio State University animal laboratory, looks out from his play room, in Columbus, Ohio. A prestigious scientific group told the U.S. government Thursday that chimpanzees should hardly ever be used for medical research. The Institute of Medicine stopped short of recommending the outright ban that animal rights activists had pushed. Instead, it urged strict limits that would make invasive experiments with chimps essentially a last resort, saying today’s more advanced research tools mean the primates’ use only rarely will be necessary enough to outweigh the moral costs.

ness to humans — the genome is about 99 percent identical to ours — has long caused a quandary, making the animals valuable to medical researchers for nearly a century but also sparking ethical and emotional questions about how they are housed and used. “They are highly intelligent. They live in complex social settings, and they live for a very long time,” said evolutionary anthropologist Anne Pusey of Duke University, who once worked with chimp expert Jane Goodall in Tanzania and manages an archive of Goodall’s field data on the animals. “When you enclose a chimp in a very small cage for 50 years, it really is cruel and unusual, even regardless of whether you’re doing invasive things to them,” she added. The U.S. is one of only two countries known to still conduct medical research with chimpanzees; the other is Gabon, in Africa. The European Union essentially banned such research last year. Thursday’s decision was triggered by an uproar last year over the fate of 186 semiretired research chimps that the NIH, to save money, planned to move from a New Mexico facility to an active research lab in Texas. They are staying put for now. The Institute of Medicine’s investigation found over the past 10 years, the NIH has paid for just 110 projects of any type that involved chimps. Most involved hepatitis C, a liver virus that infects only humans and chimps. Some involved HIV, a disease that scientists now know is better to study in rhesus monkeys. Still others involved comparing the genetics of chimps and humans, or behavioral research examining such things as development and mental health. The institute recommended two different sets of re-

strictions. Biomedical research — testing new drugs or giving chimps a disease — should allow using the apes only if studies could not be done on other animals or people themselves, and if foregoing the work would hinder progress against life-threatening or debilitating conditions. The panel said behavioral and genetic research, while less controversial, nonetheless should be limited to studies that provide insights otherwise unattainable, using techniques that minimize any pain or distress.

of projects would fit those strict criteria — and could come up with only a handful, such as a possible need to test vaccines against hepatitis C in the animals. But the panel concluded chimps aren’t needed to study cancer or a host of other diseases or even to test most drugs. The standards wouldn’t automatically apply to privately funded pharmaceutical research, although the industry, too, is shifting away from use of chimps. One drug company, GlaxoSmithKline, adopted an official policy ending its use of great apes, including chimpanzees, in research.

ATLANTA — After the U.S. Supreme Court this week agreed to rule on Arizona’s controversial law targeting illegal immigrants, some states with similar statutes asked Thursday for delayed legal action on their laws pending the high court’s decision. The Supreme Court said Monday it would review a federal appeals court ruling that blocked parts of the Arizona law. One part requires that police, while enforcing other laws, question a person’s immigration status if officers suspect the person is in the country illegally. The Obama administration challenged the Arizona law, arguing that regulating immigration is the job of the federal government, not states. Similar laws in Alabama, South Carolina and Utah also face lawsuits filed by both the federal government and activist groups. Civil liberties and immigrant rights groups are suing over immigration measures adopted in Georgia and Indiana. Alabama and Georgia on Thursday asked a federal appeals court to delay court hearings on the challenges set for early next year before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals. South Carolina asked that its law be allowed to take effect. “It is clear that the Supreme Court’s ruling in Arizona’s case will be relevant to the 11th Circuit’s consideration of our appeal,” said Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens. Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange echoed his sentiments and added his support for Arizona. “Alabama has supported Arizona in its legal effort from the beginning, and Alabama will continue to vigorously support Arizona as the case moves to the Supreme Court,” he said. Sam Brooke, an attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is one of the parties challenging the law, said the organization’s reaction to the motions by Alabama and Georgia is divided. The law in Alabama “is continuing to cause havoc in our state because several provisions have been permitted to go into effect, and are in effect today. We oppose any request that these harms be permitted to continue, and oppose Alabama’s request for a stay,” he said. “Since the parts we challenged are enjoined in Georgia, we did not oppose the request for a stay by Georgia.” In South Carolina, Attorney General Alan Wilson requested that that state’s law be allowed to go into effect Jan. 1 as scheduled. Opponents have asked a federal judge to halt the law until legal challenges by activist groups and the federal government can be resolved. A hearing for a preliminary injunction blocking the law is set for Monday. “A ruling by the Supreme Court in Arizona is likely to resolve most or all of the issues” in the South Carolina case, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson wrote in the motion. He added it “would be an understatement” to say the issues before the high court are of importance to the South Carolina case. Lawyers involved in the South Carolina case said they opposed delaying action.

EXETER – Melissa McCormick, 32, of Spring Street, West Pittston, was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $2,000 bail. Exeter police arrested McCormick after Shawn Emmert claimed she struck him at a Schooley Street residence at 12:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the criminal complaint. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Dec. 21 before District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston. KINGSTON – A Philadelphia man was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges he sold marijuana in a store’s parking lot. Peter M. Walski, 24, was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal use of communication facility. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $30,000 bail. Police allege Walski intended to sell a half-pound of marijuana for $2,300 in a store’s parking lot on Wyoming Avenue at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the criminal complaint. Marijuana was found inside a milk container in Walski’s vehicle, the criminal complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Dec. 21 before District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston. NANTICOKE – A man was arraigned Thursday in WilkesBarre Central Court for his alleged role in stealing aluminum from a business on August. Joshua George Hallas, 29, of West Ridge Street, Nanticoke, was charged with theft, criminal mischief, defiant trespass and criminal conspiracy to commit theft. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail. Police allege Hallas and Mark Anthony Luczak, 29, of River Street, Nanticoke, stole 4,000 pounds of aluminum from Eclipse Fleet on West Union Street, according to the criminal complaint. Hallas used bolt cutters to cut a fence and drove his pickup truck to the metal that they sold as scrap at a Wilkes-Barre metal recycler, the criminal complaint says.

Luczak is facing charges of receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy in Luzerne County Court. Hallas is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 21 before District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke. WILKES-BARRE – Joseph Jackiel, 55, address listed as homeless, was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on a charge of receiving stolen property. City police allege Jackiel was carrying jewelry that was reported stolen from a residence in the 400 block of McLean Street on Oct. 17, according to the criminal complaint.

o help those in need, Citizens Bank employees put together and provided 60 ‘Stockings of Love’ to be given out at the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen in Wilkes-Barre to men, women and children. Donna Farrell, senior vice president of the bank in WilkesBarre, far right, looked over the stockings at the kitchen Friday with GAR student volunteers, left to right, Sharae Thompson, Paige Thomas and Julissa Parrilla. The stockings were filled with scarves, knit hats, gloves, socks and trial-size toiletries. They were distributed in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Greater Philadelphia areas this week. Over the years the bank has provided the stockings to thousands of homeless men, women and children and families living in transitional housing.

while he resurrected such longdelayed projects as “Smile” (which the Beach Boys also revisited this year with the wellreceived box set, “The Smile Sessions”) and a solo album “That Lucky Old Sun.” Until now. The band, which continued to tour and record as the Beach Boys for decades, confirmed speculation that all surviving members of the mid-’60s lineup — Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks — will reunite with Wilson for the band’s 50th anniversary with a world tour and a new album on Capitol Records in 2012. “This is not the same act that’s been touring 365 days a year for decades,” said Gary Bongiovanni, the president and editor in chief of Pollstar, the concert business trade journal. “Brian’s return makes this much bigger than it otherwise would be.” The band, which formed in Hawthorne in 1961, rose to national prominence as the embodiment of an optimistic, youth-centric surf culture with singles including “Surfin’ Safari” and “I Get Around.” But by the middle of the decade, Brian Wilson had ceased touring, preferring to produce, write and arrange for the group. The surviving members of the group appeared together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Pet Sounds” in 2006. Carl Wilson had died of cancer in 1998, and Dennis Wilson died in a drowning accident in 1983. This tour will mark their first performances together in decades. • Allen Eugene Shotwell Jr. and Kristyna Renee Cohagan • Jared Mark Menghini and Alyssa Diane Kramer • Patrick M.

Globe nods full of snubs, surprises By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

Woody Harrelson said it himself. As one of the stars reading the nominations for the Golden Globes on Thursday morning, the actor jokingly added his own film, “Rampart,” to the list of best dramatic films. “There’s a lot of things left off today, I just want to say,” shrugged Harrelson. There always is. The year in movies has shaped up to be one without many clear heavyweight favorites, but rather a large spectrum of fine, worthy films. That means more deserving movies than normal went unheralded by the Globes. The Golden Globe Awards will be held on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Some snubs and surprises: • EXTREMELY QUIET: The silence for the much anticipated “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” was deafening. Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel has been the biggest question mark of the awards season, having held its screenings later than any other movie did. The film boasts all of the trappings of awards bait, with top-of-the-line talent in director Stephen Daldry ("The Hours”), screenwriter Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump”), cast (Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Max Von Sydow) and producer Scott Rudin ("The Social Network”). But it failed to land any nominations, not even for the score by Alexandre Desplat, who has previously been nominated by the Globes five times. • BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH? Few might have noticed had George Clooney’s political thriller not received any nominations. Instead, “The Ides of March” landed four big ones: best picture (drama); best direc-

tor for Clooney; best actor (drama) for Ryan Gosling; and best screenplay for the script by Clooney, Grant Heslov and Beau Willimon. “Ides” received respectful but tepid reviews on release and is not considered an Oscar favorite. Clooney was nominated for best director over more likely candidates, including Daldry, Steven Spielberg ("War Horse”), David Fincher ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) and Terrence Malick ("Tree of Life”). Also, many would have chosen Gosling’s performance in “Drive” over his in “Ides.” • THE SHUTOUTS: As Harrelson suggested, the most striking thing about the Globes’ picks were how many good films were left out. Maybe there wasn’t room for them, but it’s not every year that a dozen well-crafted movies with realistic awards chances go without nomination. The exceptional family drama/ apocalyptic nightmare “Take Shelter” didn’t receive anything, including the riveting performance by Michael Shannon. Nor did the sleek and stylish Cold War espionage film “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” which some suspected would land an acting nomination for its star, Gary Oldman. Malick’s cosmic-tinged family drama “Tree of Life,” considered a masterpiece by some, failed to gain any notice. Its stars, Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, were nominated for other movies. Neither was there anything for Tom McCarthy’s charming “Win Win,” the financial industry thriller “Margin Call,” Lars von Trier’s operatic “Melancholia” or Ralph Fiennes’ Shakespeare adaptation “Coriolanus.” Even Harry Potter’s swan song, “Harry Pot-

ter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” escaped attention. • THE LAND OF ANGIE: The most predictable “surprise” Thursday was the nomination for Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” The film, in Bosnian/ Croatian/Serbian, earned a best foreign language film nomination. The Globes are well known for odd nominations that will attract stars to their prime-time broadcast awards. • IT’S NOT TIME TO MEET THE MUP-

PETS: Maybe the Hollywood Foreign Press finds the Swedish Chef offensive. Whatever the reason, the largely acclaimed reboot of the “The Muppets” failed to win a nomination. Though the Globes make comedy and musicals a category of its own separate from drama, no musicals were nominated. The tune-filled Muppets” was the only musical with a chance, but didn’t even pull in a nomination for a song. Rowlf the Dog is going to be singing the blues.

MEETINGS Supervisors once again keep taxes the same LAKE TWP. – For 36 years, Lake Township has not raised its taxes, and the supervisors will be holding this pattern one more year. This week, supervisors passed a $496,274 budget that will keep the millage rate at .322, a $5 per capita tax, and a one-half of 1 percent rate for both the earned income and real estate transfer taxes. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 assessed tax value. The budget includes a $20,658 anticipated expenditure for the non-uniform employee pension plan and a loan of $20,000 for a new one ton Dodge dump truck purchased in 2011. Township Secretary/Treasurer Carlene Price is anticipating revenue of $81,530 in liquid fuels money from the state.

Liquid fuels funding is given by the state based on the mileage of roads and population within the municipality. In other news, supervisors applied to FEMA for reimbursement for money spent on cleaning up after Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Supervisor Amy Salansky said the total dollar amount of the reimbursement will not be know until March. She said they need to meet with Barney Dobinick, township’s emergency management coordinator, to determine the exact amount. Eileen Godin

Council OKs ordinance allowing burning

PRINGLE – Borough council Thursday evening passed an ordinance allowing residents to burn certain types of refuse. The new law requires all residents who wish to burn permitted materials such as paper and cardboard to purchase a $15 per year burn permit through the borough. Resi-

dents who purchase a permit will be subject to a safety inspection once every two years by the Pringle Fire Department. "This is something we’re going to try for a year and see how many residents actually do burn in town," said council President Mike Berish. "It’s something we can revisit at council next year." Berish stressed that people must abide by the articles of the new burn ordinance, which bans burning of noxious and toxic materials and any refuse generated outside the borough, and that the law will be strictly enforced with violators facing stiff fines. The council also voted to approve the 2012 budget. The new budget totals $252,475, which is represents a $60,000 decrease over 2011 and does not include a tax hike or increase in garbage removal fees. Officials said the annual budget difference stems from money received through a one-time community development grant in 2011.

In another matter, a number of residents voiced their concern before council regarding the hiring and ongoing employment of current borough secretary Karen Butler on the

grounds that she does not have a GED, or General Educational Development diploma, and does not meet the minimum requirements to hold the position. Butler, a long-time Pringle

volunteer and former emergency dispatcher, confirmed she has not earned her GED but added she has received training as an emergency medical technician. Steven Fondo

OTHER OPINION: ROAD SAFETY

Postpone ban on cellphones in cars

FEDERAL recommendation that use of hand-held devices by motorists be banned makes sense – up to a point. Texting or surfing the Internet while driving are extremely dangerous. But the National Transportation Safety Board also urged bans on any use of hands-free and hand-held cellphones in vehicles except – inexplicably – phone devices installed in some new vehicles by manufacturers. Those restrictions at this point would generate strong resistance from the public and be difficult to enforce. The safety board’s recommendation arose from the investigation of a gruesome August crash near Gray Summit, Mo. In the 13 minutes preceding the wreck, a 19-year-old motorist sent or received 11 text messages while driving on Interstate 44. He crashed into the rear of a slowing tractor-trailer, triggering a chain reaction that EDITORIAL BOARD

killed him and a 15-year-old girl on a school bus. Last year, 3,092 people died in crashes involving distractions. But that came amid an overall drop in fatalities: In 2010, highway deaths hit their lowest point in more than 60 years, even though the 46 million miles traveled was higher than in 2009. Politically, it would be tough to impose a blanket restriction on devices used by so many people even while highway travel, overall, is safer. But distracted driving is an increasing problem, and there are steps lawmakers should take. Some states already have moved in the direction of tougher restrictions. California bans all use of hand-held phones. The federal safety board can’t compel states to pass laws, but it has done a service in jump-starting this debate. The Kansas City Star

Election 2012: Making a case for facts over rhetoric IN CASE you haven’t noticed, there is a presidential election coming up in 2012. And with presidential aspirations and control of the White House at stake, there are plenty of, let’s say, lessthan-truthful accounts of the Obama administration’s performance in handling the nation’s economic recovery. It is true the economy has not recovered robustly from the worst recession since the 1930s. While there might be any number of reasons to find fault with the current administration, its handling of the economy should not be among them based on hard economic data and facts from January 2009 to the present. Several claims about the administration’s poor handling of the economy do not stand up to fact checking. In particular, there are four economic indicators – gross domestic product, the unemployment rate, health care costs and jobs – that suggest the Obama administration has, in fact, done a reasonably good job with the economy. When Obama took office at the beginning of 2009, the GDP declined 6.8 percent in the first quarter of his administration. The declines in GDP diminished gradually throughout the rest of the year and by the fourth quarter of 2009 GDP growth turned positive. Since then, GDP growth has remained positive for every quarter up until the present.

ell, it’s my old friend the Keystone XL Pipeline that’s back in the news. The claims are that it will create tens of thousands of jobs, decrease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and if we don’t do it, the owners will just run a pipeline to the West Coast of Canada and ship it from there. Okay, let’s see about that. The Canadian owner of the pipeline, TransCanada, says about 6,500 jobs will be created. The U.S. State Department, which was about to approve it, agrees. Cornell University’s Global Labor Institute say about 50 permanent jobs would be created. Where’s the tens of thousands? Maybe for cleanup. The pipeline would lead through states and aquifers where the local folks, of both political parties, don’t want it, to Gulf Coast refineries that have contracts that require them to export most of it to foreign countries. How does that help us with independence? It’s the dirtiest type of oil, so when it’s refined, we’ll have a lot more waste that’s a pollutant. Now if you want to store it in your backyard, maybe around the pool, I’ll bet they have a great deal for ya.

Nations. The pretext is the reduction of the availability of small arms used by terrorists, drug cartels, etc. It assumes the `communist Chinese, North Koreans and other assault weapons suppliers will stop arming theses groups. Once the treaty is signed by President Obama, it will be sent to the U.S. Senate for ratification. If 67 votes are obtained, it becomes law. The appointments of Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court suggests the court would likely reject any legal challenge to the treaty. Another justice already has stated that rulings of the court should consider the mandates in the Constitution and “international norms.” Most of the delegates to the United Nations represent authoritarian regimes in which the Bill of Rights is an alien concept. Should the Obama administration successfully place another like-minded justice on the court, the Second Amendment will revert to the status of a quaint, unenforceable part of the Bill of Rights. The concept that citizens shall be secure in their property, papers and possessions will not apply to personal firearms. The restrictions and prohibitions on personal firearms emanating from the U.N. treaty will be draconian. F.J. Keller Hanover Township

Nader taking on big-time sports

The ‘Barefoot Bandit’ pleads guilty in Wash.

Veteran consumer advocate says costs industry is spinning out of control.

State prosecutors are asking for a nine-and-a-half year sentence.

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK — On the wall of Ralph Nader’s office hangs a color portrait of baseball legend Lou Gehrig, an old-fashioned hero who seems to rebuke so much of today’s sports world — the sexabuse and drug scandals, labor strife, rampant commercialization. Gehrig, who set a standard for durability while playing 2,130 consecutive games over 15 seasons, is the only sports idol acknowledged by Nader, himself a kind of “Iron Horse” in his chosen playing field, America’s consumer movement. Since 1965, when he lit into the U.S. auto industry for marketing cars “unsafe at any speed,” Nader has taken on issues ranging from deceptive advertising to water pollution to nursing home fraud. Now, at 77, he’s channeling an increasing share of his attention and anger to problems across the gamut of U.S. sports — the major pro leagues, the NCAA, even youth sports. “It’s spinning out of control,” says Nader. “It’s profit at all costs, win at all costs, and often it’s damaging the health of the athletes.” Throughout his career, which has been punctuated by four presidential campaigns, Nader has helped form scores of public interest groups, including one called the League of Fans that advocates for sweeping changes in the sports world. Items on its agenda include ridding youth sports of tyrannical coaches, discouraging taxpayer funding of stadiums, promoting broader participation in sports at schools and colleges, and outlawing fighting in pro hockey. Many of its concerns are being addressed in a 12-part manifesto that’s on the verge of completion. In a sense, League of Fans is a misnomer. Nader envisions it as a think tank, watchdog and advocacy group, rather than a membership-based organization. “Fans are hard to band together,” says Nader, who gave up on a fan-based initiative in the late 1970s when he could entice only about 1,100 people to pay dues. Fans are better-informed about sports than voters are about public policy, and can become outraged by various slights, Nader said. “But their anger is very abbreviated when it’s kickoff time or the umpire says ‘Play ball.”’ In a phone interview, Nader didn’t sound overly optimistic about forcing the major pro leagues to be less exploitive. “They have anti-trust exemptions — they can engage in collusion,” he said. “They can wine and dine politicians, and give them special seats in their suites, and in the meantime it’s costing a family $300 or $400 to go to a game.” Professor Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economics expert at Smith College, questioned whether a Nader-inspired consumer movement could make much headway in influencing the major leagues’ policies or spreading the concept

Ralph Nader stands next to his poster of Lou Gehrig in his office in Washington Tuesday. Over a five-decade career in America’s consumer movement, Nader has fought against the auto industry over safety and has targeted businesses he blamed for water pollution, nursing home fraud, and more. Now the sports industry is drawing an increasing share of Nader’s attention and anger - it’s ’spinning out of control,’ he says, amid sex-abuse scandals, labor strife and rampant commercialization.

of community-owned teams. “Fans love their sports as they are,” he wrote in an email. “Owners are too well situated politically.” At the college level, Nader has been among the legion of critics of the football Bowl Championship Series system, and believes public pressure could force changes before long to increase fairness and give more teams a chance to gain spots in the most lucrative bowl games. He’s also joined a chorus of calls for the NCCA to adjust its policies on athletic scholarships, so athletes who leave their teams for injury or other reasons could be sure of remaining on scholarship as long as their academic work is adequate. “The NCCA keeps saying, ‘We’re on it’ and it keeps getting worse,” Nader said. “The players have become gladiators in the groves of higher education instead of being students and playing athletics on the side.” Nader had expressed support for the Drake Group, a coalition of college faculty and staff seeking to defend academic integrity as the college sports industry grows ever more powerful. The group’s president-elect, University of New Haven management professor Allen Sack, has suggested that — in the absence of major reforms — the NCAA might face efforts by Congress to end its tax-exempt status. Sack, who played football at Notre Dame, is a fan of Nader. “It always helps to have someone out there shouting in the wind, getting a lot of grief for saying things that make people feel uncomfortable,” Sack said. “They say politics is the art of the possible, and Ralph doesn’t seem bothered by that adage.” Nader believes the League of Fans can make progress with at least some of its agenda by linking up with specific sports and fitness initiatives unfolding across the

country. “The phys-ed and anti-obesity movement can get much stronger — it’s got to be more insistent about getting more people into participatory sports at all ages,” he said. “What pro sports has done is glued millions of people to the TV screen while their weight increases and their cardiovascular system deteriorates.” He also rails against the expansion of high-powered, high-pressure youth leagues in which some boys and girls now practice and play their chosen sport virtually year-round. “It’s become a business,” he said. “They’ve taken the joy out of it.” Nader isn’t an ardent hockey fan, but he was dismayed by the recent series of New York Times articles about Derek Boogaard, the National Hockey League enforcer who died in May of an accidental overdose of alcohol and oxycodone. The Times reported that Boogaard, who’d been groomed since adolescence to be the fistfighter for his teams, suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain ailment related to Alzheimer’s disease that is caused by repeated blows to the head. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says there’s not enough data yet to draw conclusions about the brain ailment, but Nader says the league shouldn’t wait to ban fighting. “It’s got to be stopped,” he said. They’re marketing sadism.” The man recruited by Nader as sports policy director of the League of Fans is Ken Reed, a former sports marketing consultant who became disenchanted with tasks such as helping owners sell stadium suites and club seats. Reed notes that the United States, unlike many other nations, has no sports ministry or other government agency that helps set sports policy. “Our sports policy basically de-

veloped by the sports powers, the owners, and those policies filter down through college, high school, the youth level,” he said. Encouraging activism among fans may be difficult, Reed acknowledges. “We need to increase awareness and even when we do, there’s a lot of pushback,” says Reed. “Fans say, ‘Don’t bring reality into my sports life.”’ While Reed played varsity baseball and basketball at the University of Denver, Nader was a less-accomplished athlete — he played intramural baseball in high school. However, Nader listened to New York Yankees games on the radio while growing up in Winsted, Conn., and follows both baseball and football. His favorite National Football League team is the Green Bay Packers — as much for the fact that they are community-owned as for their current success on the field. But his list of sports heroes is short. “The one sports figure who really had an influence on me is Lou Gehrig,” Nader said. “He represented stamina, he represented working through adversity. He was a very decent guy.”

COUPEVILLE, Wash. — Colton Harris-Moore pleaded guilty Friday to burglary and theft charges in the Barefoot Bandit case that brought him international notoriety and a movie deal for his story. Wearing handcuffs and an orange jail uniform in Coupeville, he softly answered yes Friday when the judge asked if he understood his rights. He said guilty when the judge asked how he wanted to plead. Several victims and a few curious citizens watched in Island County Superior Court, along with Harris-Moore’s aunt. “He was a menace,” prosecutor Greg Banks said. “His burglaries threatened and distressed people ... They didn’t know if they came back from vacation their houses would have been broken into.” He pleaded guilty to a total of 16 counts from Island County, including identity theft, theft of firearm and residential burglary. Then the hearing continued with Harris-Moore pleading guilty to 17 counts from San Juan County. Afterward he sat next to his attorney, John Henry Browne, with his eyes downcast, looking younger than his 20 years Harris-Moore’s daring run from the law earned him international fame and a movie deal to help repay his victims after he flew a stolen plane from Indiana to the Bahamas in July 2010, crash-landed it near a mangrove swamp and was arrested by Bahamian authorities in a hail of bullets. Friday’s proceedings before Judge Vickie Churchill consolidate cases against HarrisMoore in three Washington counties, including Snohomish. He has already pleaded guilty to federal charges in Seattle and will be sentenced for those crimes early next year. He will serve his state and federal sentences at the same time. State prosecutors are asking for a nine-and-a-half year sentence. Browne and attorney

Emma Scanlan, are seeking a six-year term, citing HarrisMoore’s bleak childhood in a Camano Island trailer with an alcoholic mother and a series of her convict boyfriends. They laid out the details of his upbringing in psychiatric and mitigation reports filed with the court. Harris-Moore’s first conviction came at age 12, in 2004, for possession of stolen property, and according to the reports, his first experience with burglary came when he broke into the homes of his classmates to steal food because his mother spent most of her Social Security income on beer and cigarettes — something she has denied. Over the next three years he was convicted of theft, burglary, malicious mischief and assault, among other crimes. At one point he was arrested when a detective posed as a pizza-delivery driver. In 2007, the boy was sentenced to three years in a juvenile lockup after pleading guilty to three burglary counts in Island County. But he fled the minimum-security facility in April 2008 and was soon back to his old tricks, breaking into unoccupied vacation homes, stealing food and sometimes staying there. As red-faced investigators repeatedly failed to catch him, his antics escalated: He began stealing planes from small, rural airports and crash-landing them — at least five in all. Harris-Moore’s final spree came after he stole a pistol in eastern British Columbia and took a plane from a hangar in Idaho, where investigators found bare footprints on the floor and wall. That plane crashed near Granite Falls, Wash., after it ran out of fuel. He made his way to Oregon in a 32-foot boat stolen in southwestern Washington — stopping first to leave $100 at an animal shelter in Raymond, Wash. From Oregon, authorities said, Harris-Moore traveled across the United States, frequently stealing cars from the parking lots of small airports. In Indiana, he stole another plane and made for the Bahamas, more than 1,000 miles away, where authorities finally caught him in a manhunt that spanned multiple islands.

By LINDSAY KRAMER For The Times Leader

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Considering how his last start against the Syracuse Crunch turned out, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton goalie Scott Munroe was happy to get a rematch. It came Friday, and he made sure the decision went the way of the Penguins. Munroe made 34 saves, Brandon DeFazio scored twice and Ryan Craig added another as the Penguins edged East Division rival Syracuse 3-2 at the Onondaga County War Memorial. PENGUINS The last time Munroe stared down the Crunch, on Nov. CRUNCH 23, he was knocked out after giving up three goals on three shots. "I definitely wanted to have a strong showing against these guys. We haven’t played well against them,” Munroe said. "The guys blocked a few shots (in front of him). When they didn’t, I was able to see through a few screens.” Munroe has now won three straight starts, allowing a total of four goals in those games. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has taken five of its last six. The Penguins played without a couple of regulars. Defenseman Alexandre Picard and forward Eric Tangradi were called up to Pittsburgh earlier in the day. Forward Chris Barton, recalled from Wheeling of the ECHL earlier this week, made his WilkesBarre/Scranton debut. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton made up for its personnel loses with a little extra grit. It wasted all six power play chances by the Crunch, which came into the contest ranked second in the AHL in that department with a success rate of 24.5 percent. "The penalty killing was

HAZLETON – Rebuilding a tension-filled city is similar to building a championship baseball team, the way Joe Maddon sees it. So the Tampa Bay Rays manager and Hazleton native made his first pitch toward what he hopes will be a perfect game plan. Flanked by heavy hitters Yogi Berra and Don Zimmer, Maddon hosted a fundraising dinner that drew about 400 people Friday to benefit Maddon’s Hazleton Integration Project – and hopefully make his hometown a more peaceful and understanding

place to live. “It’s like what we did with the Rays,” Maddon said. “That’s all about communication, building relationships and interacting with teammates. That’s how you get to the World Series three years after you got there (to Tampa Bay). That’s how you go to the playoffs three out of the last four years with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. “Because of how you interact with each other.” Actions on the streets of Hazleton have caused alarm over the past decade, as crime rates began rising and former Hazleton mayor and

current congressman Lou Barletta tried to invoke illegal immigration laws. Maddon said he noticed a difference in the attitudes and atmosphere of townspeople during a visit to the area last Christmas. “I think with any growing city, there are going to be things that come up,” said former Hazleton Area baseball and basketball star Russ Canzler, who won the International League’s most valuable player award while playing for Class AAA Durham before getting his first major league action with Tampa Bay under Maddon last season. “I think we’re putting the right foot forward here,” continued Canzler, part of a group of celebrities who See LINEUP, Page 5B

An attorney representing Dallas football coach Ted Jackson has requested a public hearing with the Dallas School District “with respect to his (Jackson’s) termination.” Atty. Kimberly D. Borland – of Borland & Borland, LLP in Wilkes-Barre – sent a letter to Jackson Dallas solicitor Ben Jones on Friday. The letter states that “Mr. Jackson was given no pre-termination due process by the District.” Borland declined to comment any further than what is stated in the letter. He also wrote to Jones that “The circumstances of the termination of his public employment entitle him to procedural due process.” The school board opened Jackson’s position, which he has held for 27 years, at Monday’s meeting by an 8-1 vote. Only board member Dr. Bruce Goeringer voted against opening the position. The school board also passed a motion that the position “be filled in accordance with Dallas School District’s procedures and practices.” Board president Catherine Wega read a statement during the meeting and prior to the vote indicating that the motions, should they pass, “do not refer to a termination or dismissal but the opening of the position.” When asked about the wording of Wega’s statement, Borland again declined comment. He also wouldn’t say when or if he expected to hear back from the school district. The school district posted the varsity football coach position on its website on Wednesday. It set a deadline of Jan. 3 at 3 p.m. for applications. Wega said after MonSee HEARING, Page 5B

Bryant’s wife files for divorce

Ex-Bruin Milbury charged with assaulting youth player

The Associated Press

ORANGE, Calif. — Kobe Bryant’s wife, who stood by her husband when he was charged with sexual assault in 2003, filed for divorce on Friday from the Los Angeles Lakers star, citing irreconcilable differences after a decade of marriage. Vanessa Bryant signed the papers on Dec. 1. Kobe Bryant signed his response on Dec. 7 and it was filed Friday, according to the documents. “The Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012,” according to a statement from a representative for the couple. In the filing, Vanessa Bryant asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s two daughters, Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5. Kobe Bryant asked for the same in his response. Vanessa Bryant also requested spousal support. Bryant met his future wife in 1999 on a music video shoot when Vanessa Laine was 18 years old. Six months later, she and the

then-21-year-old Bryant became engaged. They married on April 18, 2001. The Bryants have been through trying times together. Vanessa Bryant appeared at a news conference with her husband when he was charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman who worked at the exclusive Lodge & Spa at Cordillera near Vail, Colo., in 2003. She held his hand and stroked it ten-

derly as the NBA star admitted he was guilty of adultery — but nothing else. Earlier she had issued her own statement to the media, vowing to stand by her husband. “I know that my husband has made a mistake — the mistake of adultery,” she said in the statement at the time. “He and I will have to deal with that within our marriage, and we will do so. He is not a criminal.”

BOSTON — Police said Friday that they’ve charged former Boston Bruins player and coach Mike Milbury with assaulting a 12-year-old Pee Wee hockey player who was jawing with his son. Brookline police Capt. Tom Keaveney said Milbury, an assistant coach on his son’s team, allegedly grabbed, threatened and shook the opposing player as the teams were shooting around following a Dec. 9 game at a town-owned rink. The boy wasn’t hurt, Keaveney said. Milbury, 59, of Needham will be summoned to court to face misdemeanor charges including assault and battery on a 12-yearold, threats to commit a crime and disorderly conduct, he said. Keaveney said police have video evidence of the alleged attack. But Milbury denied an assault “of any kind,” in a statement from his attorney “He simply intervened in an altercation between his son and an opposing player,” the statement said. “No one was struck, no one was injured and no one was threatened.”

Milbury, a defenseman, played parts of 12 seasons with the Bruins and later served as coach, leading Milbury the team to the Stanley Cup finals in 1990, where they lost to Edmonton. He also was coach and general manager of the New York Islanders. Milbury was well-known as a player for a 1979 incident when he brawled in the stands in New York with fans who had grabbed some teammates’ sticks, whacking one fan in the leg with his own shoe. Milbury is now an NHL analyst with NBC Sports, which said Friday he’d been taken off the air. “We both came to the conclusion that he should remain off the air while focusing on his affairs,” NBC Sports said in a statement. Keaveney said police learned about the alleged assault from a parent who wasn’t there, but heard about it afterward.

Lake-Lehman scored a win in the 400 free relay to propel itself to a victory over West Scranton in the final race. The team of Amelia Jenkins, Amanda Lopez, Symantha Sharon and Sami Sabol legged out a first-place mark over two Invader relays. Brinley Williams picked up the top score in diving for the Black Knights. For West Scranton, Natalie Sederovitz claimed multiple first-place finishes.

Denver forms committee to explore potential 2022 Winter Games bid By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

DENVER — Denver — the only city to be awarded the Olympics, then turn them down — is forming a committee that will look into making a bid for the 2022 Winter Games. The committee will present findings to Gov. John Hickenlooper and Mayor Michael Hancock, who said Friday the idea of a bid is worth taking seriously.

“But first we’re going to ask the right questions and make sure we’re satisfied with the answers,” Hancock said. The International Olympic Committee awarded the 1976 Winter Games to Denver, but the city later decided against hosting the event. The games ended up in Innsbruck, Austria. IOC President Jacques Rogge said earlier this year that the IOC carried no grudge against Denver

for what it did more than three decades ago. Back then, a group of civic leaders persuaded voters to say ‘no,’ to the Olympics, arguing against the massive growth and pollution the games might bring. Richard Lamm, who led that charge and later became governor, said in an interview two years ago that the local organizing committee of the time was in way over its head. He also said he

wasn’t sure turning down the Olympics ultimately prevented the sprawl the leaders were trying to avoid. Of course, both the Olympic experience and the city of Denver have changed drastically since the 1970s. The bid to run those games came in at around $5 million. The Vancouver organizing committee that ran the 2010 Winter Games spent $1.86 billion. Meanwhile, metro Den-

ver’s population has grown from about 1.2 million to 2.7 million and the main highway into the mountains, Interstate 70, has become more and more clogged as the decades have passed. It is, by many accounts, in need of the kind of widening project an Olympics could help spur. Don Elliman, a co-chair of the exploratory committee, said the give-back of the 1976 Olympics “comes up in people’s mind as a

hangover. But it was damn near 50 years ago. You begin to wonder about that. The Games were very different in those days.” The Reno-Tahoe area is also considering making a run at the 2022 Games, though the U.S. Olympic Committee is not committed to backing an American bid; the USOC wants to resolve a revenue-sharing dispute with the IOC before committing to future bids.

Nation’s top rusher collects Hill award

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hurricanes home run reaches 30 The Associated Press

Mars Hill RB Jonas Randolph averaged 197 yards rushing per game this season. By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

FLORENCE, Ala. — Mars Hill College running back Jonas Randolph won the Harlon Hill Trophy as Division II’s top player Friday night, two days after celebrating the birth of his son. Hill received the award on the eve of the national championship game after leading all NCAA diviRandolph sions with a 197-yard rushing average. He collected 120 points in balloting by Division II sports information directors for a three-point edge over Washburn (Kan.) University’ quarterback Dane Simoneau. It’s the slimmest winning margin in the award’s 26-year history. Delta State quarterback Micah Davis was third with 101 points. It was far from the biggest occasion of Randolph’s week. His girlfriend, Jackie Bennison, gave birth to their son Braylen on Wednesday. He checked in with her after his first-ever flight landed in Atlanta to see how she was doing. “She replied, ‘I think my water broke,”’ said Randolph, who quickly jumped on his second-ever flight and got back in time for Braylen’s birth. The week was capped with another success. “It’s flattering just to be here, to have this moment with the other two guys,” Randolph said. “I love the game. I’m so proud that I won this. “Being young and winning the 40-yard dash and getting a medal, I thought that was great, but this is a million times better.” A senior who once played high school ball in Daleville, Ala., Randolph led Mars Hill to its first postseason game as a Division II member. His 5,608 career rushing yards is a South Atlantic Conference record. He rushed for school and league single-season marks of 2,170 yards as a senior. Ten players received at least one first-place vote and Randolph got 19, three more than Davis and four more than Simoneau. Simoneau set eight Washburn records this season while passing for 4,089 yards with 38 touchdowns. Davis led Delta State into the national semifinals after throwing for 3,423 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushing for another 13 scores. He directed four fourthquarter comebacks. The award is named after former North Alabama and Chicago Bears players Harlon Hill.

Warhawks win 3rd straight title Wisconsin-Whitewater and Mount Union have met in the last seven Division III finals. By HANK KURZ Jr. AP Sports Writer

SALEM, Va. — Levell Coppage scored on a 1-yard run and Wisconsin-Whitewater shut down Mount Union until the closing minutes to win its third consecutive Division III national championship, 13-10 on Friday night in the seventh consecutive title game meeting between the schools. The victory was the 45th in a row for the Warhawks (15-0),

who haven’t lost since Mount Union beat them in the 2008 Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. The Purple Raiders finished 14-1. Coppage, the most outstanding player of the past two title games, wasn’t nearly as dominant, but cashed in on his most important opportunity after the Warhawks forced a fumble and recovered it at the Mount Union 1. Coppage took it in on the next play, making it 10-0 with 4:02 left in the third quarter. It was his seventh TD in the last three title games. The Purple Raiders, who had only 77 yards of offense at that point, answered with a 71-yard drive, but had to settle for a 19-

yard field goal when they couldn’t punch it in. Whitewater answered that with Eric Kindler’s 30-yard field goal with 5:34 to play, making it a two-score game again, but the 10-time national champions from Alliance, Ohio, replied again. This time, an eight-play, 72yard drive ended with Matt Piloto’s 8-yard scoring pass to A.J. Claycomb with 3:20 to play, giving the Purple Raiders a chance to hold on defense and score. They held on defense, but then so did the Warhawks, stopping Chris Denton well short of a first down on fourth down, and then finishing off its fourth title

in five years. The 3-point margin was the closest since Mount Union beat Bridgewater 30-27 in 2001. The Warhawks’ defense was clearly the star of the night, setting up Whitewater’s lone TD by sacking Piloto twice in three plays after the Purple Raiders got the ball at their 16. The first sack, by Ryan Cortez, was for minus 11 yards. On the second, Loussaint Minett stripped the ball away as Piloto was in the grasp of two other Warhawks and Cole Klotz recovered at the 1. One the next play, Coppage scored, boosting Whitewater’s lead to 10-0.

NEW YORK — Harlon Hill Trophy finalists Dane Simoneau of Washburn University and Jonas Randolph of Mars Hill College have been selected to The Associated Press Little All-America team. The Little All-America team honors players from Division II, III and NAIA. Simoneau passed for 4,089 yards and 38 touchdowns, leading Washburn in Topeka, Kan., to a 10-3 season and a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Randolph was Division II’s leading rusher at 2,170 yards for

Mars Hill in North Carolina. The Harlon Hill Trophy was presented Friday to Randolph. Joining Randolph in the backfield was running back Levell Coppage of Wisconsin-Whitewater, which played Mount Union for the Division III title Friday night. Defensive back Nick Driskill of Mount Union was selected to the first team. The other running back on the first team was Hillsdale’s Joe Glendening, who is second in Division II in rushing with 1,600 yards and has scored 31 touchdowns, tops in the nation. Wayne State University in Michigan, which plays Pittsburg State in Alabama on Saturday for the Division II championship, placed two players on the firstteam: offensive tackle Joe Long and defensive back Jeremy

Jones. Wayne State receiver Troy Burrell was a third-team selection. Linebacker Nate Dreiling was Pittsburg State’s lone representative in the first team and receiver and kicker returner John Brown was chosen as the all-purpose player on the second team. Trevor Kennedy of Mercyhurst and Trey McVay of Northeastern State, the top two in Division II in receiving yards per game, were the Little All-American receivers. Joining Long on the line were four more 300-pounders: Midwestern State’s Amini Silatolu, Delta State’s Darrell Leopold, Alex Smith of Division III Salisbury and North Alabama’s Kyle Thornton. The kicker was Missouri Western State’s Greg Zuerlein, who converted 23 of 24 field goal at-

tempts. Jonathan Woodson of Texas A&M-Kingsville was the all-purpose player. He led the nation in all-purpose yards at 2,309. Joining Dreiling on defense were linebackers Chad Kilgore of Northwest Missouri State and Jamarkus Gaskins of Albany State. Lincoln University’s Tim Green, who leads Division II in sacks per game at 11⁄2, highlights the defensive line. He is joined by Todd Storm of Michigan Tech, Aston Whiteside of Abilene Christian and Chris Mayes of Division III Wesley. Joining Jones and Driskill in the secondary were Rontez Miles of California University in Pennsylvania and Alton Keaton of Winston Salem State. The punter was Randy Weich of Wayne State College in Nebraska.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Shenise Johnson, Riquna Williams and Krystal Saunders each scored 16 points to lead No. 7 Miami past Louisiana Monroe 103-39 on Friday night. Morgan Stroman added 14 points and Michelle Woods had 13 for the Hurricanes in their 30th straight home win. Johnson scored eight points, including two 3-pointers, during an opening 22-0 run by Miami (9-1), which was never threatened. The Warhawks broke the scoring drought on Larrie Williams’ jumper 4:53 into the game, but Miami scored the next 11 points and took a 33-2 lead on Jessica Capers’ jumper with 9:26 to go in the half. Williams scored 11 points to lead Louisiana Monroe (1-10). The Hurricanes shot 12 of 16 from the field in the first 9 minutes, while the Warhawks converted only one of 13 shots. Miami used mostly reserves over the second 10 minutes of the first half and built a 55-19 lead at halftime. Saunders, in her most extensive playing time of the season, shot 6 of 8 from the field, including 2 of 3 from 3-point range. No. 23 DePaul 73, Arizona State 55 CHICAGO — Freshman Brittany Hrynko scored a careerhigh 25 points and No. 23 DePaul beat Arizona State 73-55 on Friday night. Katherine Harry and Jasmine Penny had 14 points apiece for the Blue Demons (10-2), who have won consecutive games since their 84-61 loss to Tennessee. DePaul opened the game with a 9-0 run.

NFL

Teens in trouble for ‘Tebowing’ By FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press Writer

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Two New York athletes have been suspended by school administrators for organizing several “kneeldowns” in tribute to NFL sensation Tim Tebow, who said Friday that while he appreciates their boldness, the students have to obey their elders. “I think if they had good intentions, then good for them for having the courage to do something different,” the Denver Broncos quarterback said when told of the suspensions this week on New York’s Long Island. The devout Christian, who has led his team to a 7-1 record, often kneels in prayer after a success on the gridiron. Riverhead High School administrators suspended 17-year-old twins Connor and Tyler Carroll this week after they organized several “Tebowing” tributes to the NFL star in their school hallway.

Teen Thompson holds one-shot lead at Dubai At 16 years old, the youngest LPGA Tour winner is 10 under at the Ladies Masters tourney. By MICHAEL CASEY AP Sports Writer

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — American teenager Lexi Thompson has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the Dubai Ladies Masters after making a birdie putt on the18th for a 2-under 70 on Friday. The 16-year-old Thompson, the youngest LPGA Tour winner, is 10 under for the tournament, one shot ahead of Sophie Gustafson (69). Thompson, who led by two

shots going into the third round, bogeyed the 15th. Gustafson made three birdies on the back nine. But the American reclaimed the lead when she reached the green in two on the 18th and made the birdie putt. “I was pretty much like ’let’s just hit it,”’ Thompson said. “You’ve been hitting it pretty good, so just got to be confident.” Lee-Anne Pace (67) and Pernilla Lindberg (68) are two shots back of Thompson in the season-ending Ladies European Tour tournament. MichelleWie(71)isfiveshotsoff the pace at 5 under. Thompson is looking to become the second youngster winner on the European Tour, just three

months after she won her first LPGA event in Alabama to make history on that tour. “Ihititprettywell.Ijustleftafew putts out there,” she said. “But you know,alotofgirlsareincontention so it will be a great day out there. “I’m just going to try and make birdies throughout the whole day, play consistent. Pars, birdies nothing can be worse than that.” Thompson opened with a bogey when she hit a drive behind some trees and failed to make a 4-foot putt. She got a shot back with a birdie on the third but couldn’t pull away from the 38-year-old Gustafson, who closed within a shot with a birdie on six and then tied for the lead with a birdie on 13.

Thompson retook the lead with a birdie on14 only to fall back when she hit a bad drive on 15 and threeputted for her second bogey. Tied coming down the 18th, the big-hitting Thompson unleashed a 3wood, ala Tiger Woods, that cleared the water and landed on the edge of the green. She just missed a 35-foot eagle putt but made a birdie. “Once I saw the drive, I was like ’all right, I probably can go for it’ from there and it was 212 to the pin,” she said. Looking for her first tour win of the year, the 14-time tour winner Gustafson said she was pleased with a round that included five birdies and two bogeys. She missed a 10-foot birdie putt on 18.

great,” Munroe said. "We’ve been really stressing the penalty kill the last few games. We were a little more aggressive.” DeFazio iced the game at the 18:14 mark of the third with a shot from the top of the right point that eluded Crunch goalie Iiro Tarkki far side to make it 3-1. "I didn’t think at that time it would be a game-winner,” DeFazio said. "I kind of got lucky with a knuckleball. It wasn’t anything special.” Syracuse’s J.F. Jacques set the final score with a tally at the 19:30 second mark, but Munroe stopped the damage there. Although Syracuse worked its way to a handful of chances throughout the game, for the most part the Pens bottled up an offense that had pierced it for 15 goals combined in the teams’ three games this season. Patrick Maroon’s score at the 5:37 mark of the third was Syracuse’s only other tally. "We were able to keep the puck more in their zone than we had the past few games,” Munroe said. "If you let their skill come to the forefront, they will hurt you.” Syracuse dominated the early part of the first period, at one point holding a 10-2 edge in shots. But the Penguins woke up late to jolt the hosts with a pair of goals to take a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. DeFazio put the first one on the scoreboard. Teammate Matt Rust ignited the play with a shot from the slot that ticked off Tarkki’s glove and flew behind the net. The Pens’ Geoff Walker grabbed the rebound and flipped it out front, where DeFazio was waiting to chip it in with 2:39 left. The Penguins inflicted more damage about two minutes later. With 38.9 seconds remaining, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s Colin McDonald found a passing lane from behind the net and dished to Craig on the left side of the crease. The captain had easy target practice to double his team’s edge. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s Ryan Schnell gave Syracuse a chance to get back into the game at the 6:57 mark of the second. With a break in play, Schnell, on the bench, attempted to head-butt the Crunch’s Maroon, who was on the ice. That earned Schnell a double-minor, but Munroe and his penalty killing mates frustrated Syracuse during its fourminute manpower edge and kept the Penguins lead at two goals.

Indeed he did, and as a result, Harrison will sit out Monday night’s game against San Francisco. The ruling was made by NFLNFLPA on-field appeals officer Ted Cottrell after a careful review of the hit that drew the original suspension on Tuesday. McCoy, who returned during the Steelers’ win over the Browns on Dec. 8, suffered a concussion. But while Harrison was quiet, his teammates — as expected — were anything but. “I’m not surprised. You’re appealing to the same people who put the suspension in place, so no, I’m not surprised at all,” Steelers safety Ryan Clark said. “I don’t care about the league’s message anymore. It’s about us as a football team playing the type of football that’s going to help us win championships, despite who gets suspended, despite who gets fined. “We’re going to try to play within the rules. We’re going to stop fighting this battle of talking to them. That’s what this is about.” The NFL cited Harrison’s history of flagrant hits — this was his fifth on a quarterback — in making him the first player suspended under stricter guidelines for player safety that were invoked midway through last season. “We have to adjust and play within the rules that they make up and the stuff they’re going to call,” Steelers linebacker James Farrior said. “We have to really be careful about how we approach it. It’s one of those things we’ll have to deal with as we go, and hopefully it’ll work out.” Clark, as often is the case in the Steelers locker room, spoke the loudest. “Like I said on Wednesday, my disappointment is for James,” he said. “He’s been trying really hard to comply with what’s being asked of him. For him to be sus-

turned out for Friday’s dinner at Lobitz Catering. “A couple of generations ago, my grandparents came from a different country and spoke a different language.” Like his Rays, Maddon wants residents of his hometown to get on the same page. “This is an optimistic venture,” Maddon said. “This is the first step. I always dream big. I don’t visualize small.” And why not? He took over a Tampa Bay franchise that was a perennial doormat in the American League East and led it to the American League pennant and into the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008.

Spezza, Sens sink Pens The Associated Press

OTTAWA — Jason Spezza had two goals and two assists, and Jared Cowen also had four points to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night. Daniel Alfredsson scored his 398th NHL goal and added two assists, and Erik Karlsson also had three points. Colin Greening scored 25 seconds into the second, and Zenon Konopka netted Ottawa’s fifth goal of the period with 5.7 seconds left, increasing the Senators’ lead to 5-3 just 4 seconds into a power play. Karlsson recorded his 100th point with his third assist of the period on Konopka’s goal. Pittsburgh’s Steve Sullivan had a goal and two assists as the teams combined for eight goals in the middle period after a scoreless first. Matt Niskanen and Evgeni Malkin scored power-play goals 1:07 apart to draw the Penguins even at 3. Chris Kunitz scored with 1:02 left in the third. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby missed his fourth straight game because of a recurrence of concussion-like symptoms. He is out indefinitely, and the Penguins are 1-3 since he was sidelined again. Alex Auld stopped 32 shots for Ottawa in a matchup of backup goalies. Pittsburgh’s Brent Johnson made 14 saves through the first two periods and then was replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury, surge past the Boston Red Sox and into an AL wild card slot during the season’s final month. That earned Maddon his second AL Manager of the Year award. All he’s hoping for his old hometown is a sense of camaraderie. “It’s no different than the Rays,” Maddon said. “I have the opportunity of working with players from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Mexico and Cuba. I really like these people. They’re wrought with tradition.” Brian Knobbs, better known in professional wrestling circles as Nasty.I.Am, said he saw similar conflicts growing up in Allentown. But he believes Maddon’s idea of acceptance can work in Hazleton. “Everybody needs to get along,” said Knobbs, who attended Friday’s fundraiser with fellow wrestler Sergeant Slaughter. “We’re almost in 2012 now. We’ve got to start standing up and get together.”

who allowed Spezza’s second goal of the game 12:23 into the third. Fleury finished with four saves. Cowen scored the seventh goal of the second, 13:20 into the period, to put Ottawa up 4-3. Devils 6, Stars 3 NEWARK, N.J. — Zach Parise made sure the night the New Jersey Devils honored former captain Scott Niedermayer ended on a winning note by scoring a goal and setting up three others against Dallas. David Clarkson, rookie Adam Henrique, Ilya Kovalchuk, Petr Sykora and Patrik Elias also scored as the Devils won their third straight and snapped the Stars’ and rookie goaltender Richard Backman’s three-game winning streak. Johan Hedberg finished with 33 saves for the Devils. Michael Ryder, Brendan Morrow and Toby Petersen scored for the Pacific Divisionleading Stars, who went 3-2 on a road trip that covered 6.500 miles. Niedermayer, who helped the Devils win the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003 while wearing No. 27, became the third Devils player to have his number retired.

Jose Theodore stopped 24 shots for the Panthers, whose last 11 home games have been decided by one goal. Olli Jokinen and Rene Bourque scored for Calgary, and Leland Irving made 39 saves in his NHL debut, but the Flames dropped their third straight game. Irving, a 2006 first-round pick, was recalled from the minors on Dec. 5. Dmitry Kulikov also scored in the shootout for Florida, and Alex Tanguay scored for the Flames.

Panthers 3, Flames 2, SO SUNRISE, Fla. — Sean Bergenheim’s scored Florida’s two goals in regulation, and Stephen Weiss connected for the shootout winner as the Panthers beat Calgary.

Sabres 5, Maple Leafs 4 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thomas Vanek had two goals and an assist, and Drew Stafford and Tyler Ennis both added a goal and assist to help lift Buffalo over Toronto. Andrej Sekera also scored, and Ryan Miller made 29 saves for the Sabres (16-12-3), who won for the third time in six games. Down by a goal midway through the second period, Buffalo scored three straight times — including two powerplay goals — to take a 4-2 lead. Toronto committed five penalties in the second, and over the final 7:03 of the period the teams played 5-on-5 for just 6 seconds. Nikolai Kulemin scored on a penalty shot in the third period, and Dion Phaneuf, Joffrey Lupul, and Mikhail Grabovski also scored for Toronto (16-12-3), which has dropped three of four (1-2-1).

That’s exactly what Maddon has planned for the Hazleton community. His push for acceptance will continue tonight with a free movie night at the Alice C. Wiltsi Performing Arts Center with a showing of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” that will include Spanish subtitles. From there, Maddon and volunteers will serve his traditional Thanksmas meal at the Hazleton Area Salvation Army Shelter on Broad Street, which serves a diverse group of citizens. And Maddon will sign auto-

graphs at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Monday prior to a WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins home game. Proceeds from the autograph session, which will charge $5 per person, will be used to benefit Maddon’s Hazleton Integration Project. “There are many more similarities than differences that exist between our cultures,” Maddon said. “It’s the diversity that makes it fun. We’re trying to make this thing work. “Our city’s going to thrive again and this is just the beginning.”

forever be seen as tainted records, and his ticket to baseball’s Hall of Fame is in doubt. Bonds declined to speak in court. Well-wishers hugged the 47-year-old in the hallway courtroom after the hearing was over, and a smattering of fans cheered him as he left the courthouse. It was a marked departure from his initial court appearance four years ago, when guards had to clear a path for Bonds to get through dozens of onlookers to his SUV. “Whatever he did or didn’t do, we all lie,” said Esther Picazo, a fan outside the courthouse. “We all make mistakes. But I don’t think he should’ve gotten any kind of punishment at all.” Bonds was sentenced to two years of probation, 250 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and 30 days of home confinement. It will take time to determine whether he serves any of it; his appellate specialist, Dennis Riordan, estimated it would take nearly a year and a half for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella called the sentence a “slap on the wrist” and the fine “almost laughable” for a superstar athlete who made more than $192 million for playing baseball. Parrella had sought 15 months in prison and argued that home confinement wasn’t punishment enough “for a man with a 15,000square-foot house with all the advantages.” Bonds lives in a sixbedroom, 10-bath house with a gym and swimming pool. “The defendant basically lived a double life for decades before this,” Parrella said. He ripped Bonds not only over performance-enhancing drugs but over his personal life: “He had mistresses throughout his marriages.” Parrella said Bonds made lots of money due in part to his use of performance enhancers and that he has been “unrepentant” and “unapologetic” about it. Illston said none of that had any bearing on Bonds’ sentencing. She said she agreed with a probation department report that

Big Ben not at full speed for Steelers The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was limited in practice Friday, while safety Troy Polamalu and center Maurkice Pouncey sat out. Roethlisberger has been nursing a sprained left ankle he injured last week against Cleveland. Coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians both said they’d like Roethlisberger practice at least once before they decide whether he’ll play Monday at San Francisco. He sat out three straight practices before participating Friday. If Roethlisberger can’t play, 37-year-old Charlie Batch will start. Roethlisberger, who has not missed a start due to injury in more than two years, was not available to the media. Along with Polamalu (hamstring) and Pouncey (ankle), linebacker Chris Carter (hamstring) and receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) also did not practice. Polamalu is expected to play vs. the 49ers. pended for this situation, to us, is disheartening. To me, it was a between-the-whistle play. They’re making an example out of him for it this year. I don’t think it’s right. “We have to continue playing and just roll with the punches and try to win games without one of our best players.” Harrison has 53 tackles and eight sacks this season. “They’re definitely is an emphasis on head and head trauma,” Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said. “You’ve got to be careful and that’s just where the game’s at today.” The Steelers (10-3) are locked in a battle for the AFC North Division title with Baltimore (10-3). The Ravens won both games in the season series. called Bonds’ conviction an “aberration” in his life. She said she received dozens of letters in support of Bonds, some discussing how he has given money and time “for decades” to charitable causes. Bonds is the last — and highest-profile — defendant in the government’s investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO, a steroids distribution ring. The ex-slugger has long denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. Illston said she was compelled to give Bonds a sentence similar to the two she meted out to other figures convicted after trial of lying to the grand jury and federal investigators about their connection to steroids. The case against Bonds after he testified before the grand jury Dec. 3, 2003. Prosecutors revised his original 2007 indictment several times and spent a year unsuccessfully appealing a key evidentiary ruling before jurors deadlocked in April on three of the four remaining charges related to his grand jury testimony. On the final charge, the trial jury convicted Bonds of purposely answering questions about steroids with rambling non sequiturs in an attempt to mislead the grand jury. “I think he probably got off a little easy,” said Jessica Wolfram, one of the jurors who convicted Bonds of obstruction. “He was just so clearly guilty, so I actually am happy he got sentenced to something.” Wolfram said she researched the case after the trial and viewed evidence not presented then. After that, she felt even more comfortable that Bonds was guilty. Besides Bonds, 10 people were convicted of various charges in BALCO cases. Six of them, including track star Marion Jones, were ensnared for lying to grand jurors, federal investigators or the court. Others, including Bonds’ personal trainer Greg Anderson, pleaded guilty to steroid distribution charges. Bonds was one of two former baseball superstars to stand trial in doping-related cases this year. The trial of pitcher Roger Clemens was halted after just two days in July because prosecutors used inadmissible evidence. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton has set a new trial for April 17.

two points, 21-19, on Moore’s 5yard pass from quarterback Brad Fegley on the final play of the third quarter. But Boyd’s scoring runs of 78 and 68 yards in the game’s final six minutes secured Clairton’s victory. “The coaches just wanted me to make a play, and the ball was coming my way,” said Boyd. “(Southern Columbia) is a lot like us, coming in undefeated with all of these state championships. But we wanted them to know we weren’t intimidated by their success.”

Clairton compiled 436 yards of offense, including 218 yards rushing on 14 carries by Boyd, a junior. Thompson was 4 of 9 passing for 165 yards. The Clairton defense sacked Fegley eight times for 55 yards. Moore rushed 16 times for 136 yards for Southern Columbia. “This is obviously devastating for our kids,” Southern Columbia head coach Jim Roth said. “But (Clairton) is a very talented team. I’m proud of the way we matched their level of play for most of the game.”

HERSHEY — Two long touchdown passes from Capri Thompson to Terrish Webb and two late touchdown runs by Tyler Boyd led Clairton High School to its third straight PIAA Class A football championship Friday with a 35-19 triumph over Southern Columbia at Hersheypark Stadium. The victory was the 47th straight for Clairton, the longest active high school football winning streak in the nation. Clairton finished the season 16-0 for the second straight season. The Bears lost their seasonopening game in 2009 to Laurel, but won the remaining 15 games that season. Southern Columbia, which won a PIAA record five straight Class A championship games from 2002 through 2006, finished its season at 14-2. Webb opened the scoring with an 88-yard pass from Thompson — a PIAA Class A championship game record — just one play after a Southern Columbia punt with 3:55 to play in the first quarter. The play ignited a scoring battle between the two teams, which have nine PIAA Class A football championships between them. Southern Columbia made it 8-6 on a 5-yard run by Tyler Levan at the 5:57 mark of the second quarter, but Webb responded with 65yard score from Thompson exactly one minute later. Southern Columbia closed to 14-12 on the first of two scores by Matt Moore, a 5-yard run with 1:47 to play. But a 55-yard run by Boyd to the Southern Columbia 1 set up a 1-yard score by Reuben Kelley with 29 seconds left in the half. That enabled Clairton to carry a 21-12 lead into the half. Southern Columbia closed to

the game on Archbishop Wood’s second possession. “The score just made it look that way. They were a good team, a tough team.” Bishop McDevitt made a decision early to abandon the run with leading rusher Andre Robinson, a freshman, hobbled by an ankle injury. Quarterback Alec Werner threw an AAA championship game record 48 passes, completing 21, but was intercepted three times by a swift Wood defense.

“This is the best team I’ve ever been around,” said Archbishop Wood head coach Steve Devlin, who came to the Warminster school after coaching as an assistant at St. Joseph’s Prep. “There was no way I thought the score would be like that.” Bishop McDevitt junior wide receiver Brian Lemelle tied a PIAA playoff record for pass receptions in a game with 11 catches. Lemelle had 127 yards receiving.

HERSHEY — Moments after he helped Archbishop Wood to its first PIAA football championship — a record-setting 52-0 victory over Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt for the Class AAA title — Desmon Peoples had a special visit. Future Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer walked across the field at Hersheypark Stadium, shook Peoples’ hand and, after a quick congratulations said, “Are you still going to Rutgers?” “Wow,” Peoples said. Peoples is still heading for Rutgers next year, but first he and cousin Brandon Peoples had a state championship to celebrate. The cousins combined for five touchdown runs and 322 yards rushing to give Archbishop Wood (14-1) its first PIAA championship win in three trips to the state title game. The 52-0 final was the largest margin of victory in a championship game in the 24-year history of the state playoffs. It was Archbishop Wood’s 14th straight victory after starting the season with a 20-17 loss to Pittsburgh Central Catholic. Bishop McDevitt (13-3) lost in the Class AAA championship game for the second straight year. The Crusaders were beaten 28-27 by Allentown Central Catholic in last year’s final. On Friday, Desmon Peoples scored on a 1-yard and a 54-yard run while rushing for 151 yards. He also had two first-half interceptions. But he was one-upped by his cousin, who rushed for touchdowns of 30-, 67- and 6 yards and finished with a gamehigh 171 yards rushing. “It wasn’t easy,” said Brandon Peoples, who opened the scoring with a 30-yard run just 3:29 into

Winners take more at Downs tables

Inflation holds steady

Consumer prices stayed flat in November, further evidence that inflation has cooled off. Energy costs dropped for the second straight month, which offset higher prices that Americans paid for food, clothes and medical services. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called “core” prices rose 0.2 percent. In the 12 months ending in November, prices rose 3.4 percent, the smallest year-over-year rise since April.

Numbers show decline in table games revenue due some “very lucky” players. By RON BARTIZEK rbartizek@timesleader.com

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs was the only one of Pennsylvania’s 10 casinos to show a decline in table games revenue in November. It wasn’t because there was less gambling.

Delta boosts NYC flights

Delta Air Lines Inc. plans a massive flight expansion out of New York’s LaGuardia airport, hoping to improve its competitive edge against its two biggest rivals. The list of added cities reads like a map of the hubs of competing airlines. Delta is adding Miami and Dallas, both American Airlines hubs. It will also fly to Houston and Denver, which are United hubs, and Charlotte, N.C. — a hub for US Airways.

“There were some big winners in November,” said casino President Bobby Soper. “We actually had 15 percent growth in amount wagered.” Figures released Friday by the state Gaming Control Board showed gross revenue at the casino’s 84 tables in November of $3.6 million, 1.5 percent below November 2010. “The numbers you see aren’t necessarily reflective of volumes,” Soper said. “The table game players in November

were very lucky.” He said the growth in table game wagering was matched elsewhere on the gaming floor. “We had double digit growth in slots,” Soper said. “We were very pleased with November numbers.” Slot machine revenue tends to be larger and more consistent – Mohegan Sun reported $243 million in slots play in November – with casinos paying out 90 percent in jackpots and retaining in the range of 10 per-

cent of the amount wagered. In table games, one lucky gambler, or a few, can dramatically affect the “hold.” “One month you can hold 20 percent and the next you can hold 10 percent,” Soper said. He said no single winner skewed the November winnings. The nearest competitor, Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County, showed a 26 percent increase in table games revenue for the month, even

An appeals court has upheld an Obama administration rule change making it easier for unions to organize airline and railroad workers. The rule approved in May by the National Mediation Board recognizes unions when a simple majority of workers who vote approve organizing. The previous rule in place for 76 years required a majority of the entire workforce to favor unionizing.

WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday brought civil fraud charges against six former top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying they misled investors about risky subprime loans the mortgage giants held when the housing bubble burst. Those charged include the agencies’ two former CEOs, Fannie’s Daniel Mudd and Freddie’s Richard Syron. They are the highest-profile individuals to be charged in connection with the 2008 financial crisis. The federal government has faced criticism for not bringing charges against top executives who may have contributed to the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. Mudd, 53, and Syron, 68, led the mortgage giants in 2007, when home prices began to collapse. The four other top executives also worked for the companies during that time. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York City. “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives told the world that their subprime exposure was substantially smaller than it really was,” said Robert Khuzami, SEC’s enforcement director. “ Fannie and Freddie both entered into agreements with the government on Friday, accepting responsibility for their conduct without admitting or denying the charges. The governmentcontrolled companies also agreed to cooperate with the SEC on the cases against the former executives. The Justice Department has opened up probes into Fannie and Freddie but has not charged anyone with a crime.

Zynga shares slip after IPO

Online game company Zynga Inc. saw its stock drop on Friday, its first day as a public company. It was an unusual turn of events for a closely watched initial public offering seen as a precursor to Facebook’s next year. Zynga priced its stock at $10 on Thursday, at the high end of its expected range. The stock opened at $11, up 10 percent, but quickly fell below its IPO price, trading as low as $9 Friday afternoon before closing at $9.50.

A seasonably cold weekend is upon us with temperatures trending right about normal for this time of year. Expect only a light breeze both days from the northwest and in winter around here that usually means more clouds than sun. But since this wind off the Great Lakes will stay relatively light, up to 5,000 feet snow squalls are not likely to form. Instead, we can expect some ﬂurries with only a dusting in some areas. A storm will approach on Tuesday next week possibly starting as snow Tuesday night. But a change to rain is likely for Wednesday. The winter solstice occurs next Thursday at 12:30 a.m. - Tom Clark

Leaving tech out of the toy bag

By KIM COOK For The Associated Press

Novel tree brings new tradition, business opportunity to family

By KIM ODE

Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

ach December, Dick Babcock’s family would cut down their own Christmas tree, haul it home, wrestle it into a stand — “A little that way. No, too much! Back a little.” — then try to water it without spilling. In short, a lovely tradition nonetheless tinged with tension. Babcock was an architect who built furniture in his spare time, so in 1982, his wife suggested he design and construct a tree of wood. “And make it look Scandinavian.” He did, crafting a tree of wooden slats that required neither ax, nor water, nor the vacuuming of fallen needles. And, in a moment of brilliance, Babcock conceived of suspending it from the ceiling like a plumb line, forever unerringly straight. Years passed. Daughter Pat grew up and married Arne Sorenson. When they built a new home in 1992, it left them with a pile of scrap cedar. “Why don’t I make you your own tree?” her dad offered, and he did. Years passed. No one remembers exactly what prompted the epiphany that Dad’s trees were unique, but someone proposed that they pursue a patent.

“Oh, my dad labored over that process,” Pat Sorenson said. Appearing to be a simple assemblage of slats, closer inspection reveals that each rising tier is subtly thinner than its neighbor, and that the edge of each slat angles diagonally. Babcock measured and remeasured every angle. They got their patent in 2002 and within days got a call from Hammacher Schlemmmer, the huge retail catalog company, inviting them to exhibit their tree in its annual inventors showcase. They knew they were on to something. And still, years passed. “You know, you get busy with life, and we just put it on the back burner,” Sorenson said. Finally See SLATS, Page 2C

In Christmas Past, children would find all sorts of simple games under the tree: Tiddlywinks, pickup sticks and board games could amuse young minds for hours. Batteries and computer chips have made much of kids’ play an electronic spectator sport today, but there are signs of some pushback. Retailers are offering a variety of vintage-style games, and many baby boomers are seeking out the toys they remember fondly — puzzles, board games and the like. Steven Josephson, owner of The Toy Box store in Mamaroneck, N.Y., said board games are always a big seller “but in the last couple of years, they’ve really been popular. People remember the old-fashioned games like Monopoly, Stratego, Sorry, and want their own kids to play them. Parcheesi’s come way back this year.” At the New York International Gift Fair this fall, gift retailer Wild & Wolf drew crowds to its Ridley’s collection of vintagestyle games. The line features many old favorites, including marbles, jacks and tumbling blocks. (Available at Burkedecor.com, among other sites.) The package designs are retro too: cardboard or tin boxes, muted colors, early 20th-century-style lithography. And indeed, the visuals are part of the appeal of these games. There’s something charming about a toy that doesn’t come in a loud, primary-colored box, or a plastic case. Hasbro has teamed up with Target this season to offer classic board games in wooden boxes, including Life, Clue, Risk and Scrabble. “Key words for Christmas 2011 are nostalgia, family, tradition and longevity,” says Riann Henckel, a forecaster for Sphere Trending, in Waterford, Mich. If you’re interested in the actual, original board games you played as a kid, you’ll find sources online. Prices are often surprisingly modest, in the $20 range.

One wreath, two lives: Just a few tweaks required By BARBARA MAHANY Chicago Tribune

MCT PHOTO

After removing the apples from a wreath, Nancy Clifton wires a pick to a bouquet of sprigs of herbs for a wreath.

The idea here is pure and simple: Start with a plain pine wreath, the kind you would pick up at the supermarket or a big-box store (certainly not one you would trek to the woods to haul home on the back of your sleigh). Dress that green ring up for the cheer that stretches straight through December. Then, the very instant you hit Holiday Overload, when you cannot abide one more minute of fa-la-la, give that door hanger a new lease on life. With a few tweaks, a bit of subtraction, a dash of addition — poof! — you’ve extended its lease

through, oh, Groundhog Day. Ah, but can it be done? Lest you waste one breath worrying, the answer is: but of course! We turned to a wizard of natural wonder, a woman who wields a mean glue gun. Her name is Nancy Clifton, and she plies her magic as a horticulturist at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Clifton more than hit the gong, with two breathtaking renditions of au naturel wreaths. The one that’ll work now through the new year has a bit of Colonial Williamsburg deep in its DNA, with apples, nuts and rose hips so zaftig they threatened to burst. For a post-holiday cleansing breath, Clifton borrows from the herbari-

um and nods toward the kitchen. She plucks off the apples and nuts, and tucks in bouquets of rosemary, thyme and sage. Even if you don’t have these botanic offerings at your fingertips, the most this wreath would cost is somewhere south of $50 — and that includes figuring about $25 for the wreath itself. Note: Feel free to fashion your wreath with similar-size but different elements — say, citrus fruit instead of apples, cinnamon sticks instead of the nuts. Whatever you choose, use an odd number of elements, and limit your palette to no more than five. What you’ll need: 1 (24-inch) wreath, with or with-

out pine cones 5 small apples (lady apples are ideal but can be pricey) 6 whole nuts 12 clumps rose hips (available at many florist shops, craft stores and supermarkets) Wired floral picks (online or florist shops, floral supply and craft stores) Glue gun (sold at craft and department stores) Herb bundles (see related story) Directions: Prep first: Assemble all your materials on a large, uncluttered work space. Holiday music in the background is recommended but not essential. Now you’re ready to go. 1. Apples: Poke a floral pick into each apple, inserting it at an angle, See WREATH, Page 3C

Q&A Q: Is it better, or cheaper, to turn the lights and TV off or leave them on when leaving the room for a few minutes? Isn’t it more costly, at some point, to get things fired up again? A: The re-energization required to turn on lights and other electrical devices is so insignificant that it adds almost nothing to the energy draw, said Tom Reddoch, executive director of energy utilization for the Electric Power Research Institute. You’ll always save energy by turning them off, even for short periods, he said. However, Reddoch noted that in the case of compact fluorescent lights, the money you save in energy use could be offset by a shorter bulb life. Research shows that the more a CFL is turned off and on, the shorter its life becomes. The U.S. Energy Star program recommends leaving a CFL on for at least 15 minutes at a time to prevent shortening its lifespan significantly. On the shelf Susan Waggoner loved the homemade Christmas decorations of decades past, but she didn’t want worn and faded relics. She wanted them the way they looked originally. So she figured out how to make them herself. She shares that information in “Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas: Crafts, Decorating Tips, and Recipes, 1920s-1960s.” Waggoner offers instructions for all sorts of vintage decorations, postcards from the ’20s, cellophane candle wreaths from the ’40s and sequined tree ornaments from the ’60s, to name a few. She also included a few easy candy recipes to satisfy a holiday sweet tooth. “Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas” is published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang and sells for $19.95 in hardcover.

The columned porch, cheerful dormers and an unobtrusive side-entry garage gives this home a graceful country exterior.

The open, free-flowing layout of Plan HMAFAPW00763 from Homeplans.com makes spending time with family and visitors simple while also granting privacy to the master suite. The three-bedroom design covers 2,090 square feet of living space on one level. Head inside past the dining room, open on two sides, into the main living areas. Here, a raised hearth and media shelf make the great room cozy and convenient for watching movies or relaxing. The kitchen’s snack bar offers seating for casual meals, with the sunny nook nearby also an option. Step out to the back patio or the sun terrace (ideal for a hot tub), or the covered front porch. The master suite has a garden tub, separate shower and walkin closet. Two additional bedrooms are in back on the opposite side of the home, sharing a full bath with dual vanities. A laundry room with counter space leads to the two-car garage. All over the home, you’ll find thoughtful storage solutions, including a niche, plant shelf and plenty of closets.

in 2005, husband Arne said it was time to act, and possibiliTree was born, with the help of Arne’s sister, Nadja Reubenova of Minneapolis. Today, the sisters-in-law make up the factory assembly, working in the basement of Sorenson’s Golden Valley, Minn., townhouse, which is filled with pallets of slats sawed and finished by a woodworking company in Maine. Weathering the occasional sliver, Sorenson and Reubenova assemble the 6-foot trees, stringing together the slats through graduated dowels, then folding everything into a bundle about the size of a pair of skis. The whole tree weighs 13 pounds. They also sort and pack a 35inch tabletop tree that owners can assemble themselves, stacking the dowels and slats over a metal rod. Reubenova, long involved with arts-related nonprofits, found an

unexpected benefit to this family business. “It’s really nice to work with your hands and deal only with questions of yes or no, or six or seven branches,” she said, laughing. “There’s no analytical decision that has to be weighed, and you get to see the fruits of your labor.” The final touch is wood-burning their logo into the base, a spiny design inspired by Arne’s frequent observation, “We come from the shards of an exploded star,” Sorenson said. “We like to think of it as an angel’s view of a tree.” For the past five years, they’ve made 300 trees available. They saw a “teeny” profit last year, and hope to improve this year. Orders are coming in from around the world. Bloggers are writing about them. So did Harper’s Bazaar Russia. A tree was part of a “Today” show package on alternative trees. But with Dick Babcock’s death in 2006, a year after the business began, possibiliTree has become as much about honoring his inven-

tiveness as it is about providing distinctive home decor, Sorenson said. “He was a quiet, humble man with a great design aesthetic but always thought in terms of practicality,” Sorenson said. “He had this idea of integrity, which I think of as a human quality, but he thought of it as a design element. Form follows function, less is more.” Trees are made of walnut, cherry or birch. The large ones are $350 and custom strung to accommodate a particular ceiling’s height, since they hang 18 inches above the floor. The tabletop trees are $195. Their website is www.possibilitree.com. Originally called artisTree, the business became possibiliTree to convey how the branches can be decorated year-round, such as a monstrosiTree for Halloween, or a cupidiTree for Valentine’s Day. Festooned with family photos, it could be ancesTree. Reubenova said it looks nice even unadorned, thus avoiding anxieTree.

PASQUALE’S

Q: We bought a raised ranch with a full lower level from an owner of 35 years who disclosed that several times, after rains of five inches, the laundry room area took on water and needed to be “broomed out” (the back door opens to the driveway from the laundry room). We find that several times a year — when heavy rains or large winter thaws come — the laundry room does take on one to two inches of water, which appears to come through the concrete basement floor where it meets the cinder-block walls. Only this area of the lower level is affected. The front, slightly more above-grade portion, remains dry. The really frustrating part is removing the water. As fast as we broom it out, the area refills. Over time, often taking several days, the water recedes. We had one contractor look at it, and he told us that given that the water is “percolating from a high water table,” a sump pump was not recommended, and he had nothing else to recommend. Our neighbors on either side do not have sump pumps but also don’t have full lower levels. They both report that their crawl spaces get up to an inch of water in heavy storms. So, maybe we have the full basement and hence the full flood? A: Gee, I have a high water table and I have perimeter drains that take the water to French drains and into the sump and out. No basement is completely dry, but anyone who says that a problem such as yours cannot be mitigated just isn’t interested in the work. Call another contractor. ••• Since we are closing in on the start of the winter, and my weather-expert colleague Anthony Wood began warning us of an early snowfall in October, I thought I should devote the rest of “Your Place” to sharing my annual advice on snow shovels and shoveling. Shovel width matters, since the objective is to cut a path people can navigate safely. Public sidewalks are typically 58 inches wide (private walks, about 48 inches wide), so the ideal shovel is 18 to 20 inches wide — and, of course, you’ll

YOUR PLACE

ALAN J. HEAVENS need to make more than one pass. The edge of the shovel should be sharp enough to loosen and remove packed-down snow that has not yet turned into ice. Some shovels are covered with Teflon, so the snow slides off when you deposit it in a pile or reach the edge of the sidewalk. If that coating has worn off, spray the shovel surface with vegetable oil until you can replace the shovel. Shovel snow while it’s fresh; it’s easier to handle than snow that has partially melted or become packed down. This means you should get to the job sooner rather than later, especially if the forecast is for belowfreezing temperatures for several days after the storm. Push the snow forward, in small amounts at a time, instead of scooping and lifting it. Move the snow to the edge of the sidewalk and remove a few inches of it from any grass abutting the walk. This creates a small barrier between the snow and the sidewalk, and less melting water can travel back and freeze. If you don’t have one, buy an ice chopper so you can chip away at the stubborn stuff. Use the chopper to crack and loosen the ice, and then use the shovel to move it. If you can’t budge the ice, sand can provide traction for foot traffic and car tires. Or you can use something to accelerate the melting process, preferably calcium chloride, which does less damage to grass, shrubbery and sidewalk surfaces than sodium chloride (rock salt) does. Spread ice melt on cleared areas that don’t dry quickly, to prevent ice from forming on wet surfaces when temperatures drop after dark. Don’t forget to shovel around the mailbox and dig access to your trash cans. And try to coordinate your efforts with those of the municipal plows. If they plow after you shovel, you’ll have to do the opening of your driveway all over again. Don’t wait until the night before a storm is forecast to buy snow-removal equipment — selection will be small and supplies lean. If your shovel is broken, buy a replacement now.

WREATH Continued from Page 1C

not straight into the apple’s bottom. Attaching the fruit into the wreath at an angle will help anchor it firmly against the wreath’s underwire. Also, you don’t want the floral stick poking straight through the wreath because it won’t be secure enough, nor will it hang flush against the flat surface (door or wall) where you’ll hang it. 2. Nuts: Here’s where we pull out the glue gun. Trust us, it’s not nearly as scary as it looks. Just plug that pistol in, let the glue stick get hot and ready, then give the trigger a wee tug to produce one fat glue blob on a nut. Now, stop; that’s all you need. Give it a second to set, then insert the floral stick into the glue, pressing against the nutshell; hold tight a minute or two until the glue is dry and the stick is affixed to the nut. Repeat with remaining nuts. (Clifton calls this “the most tedious part of the whole job”; it’s downhill from here, friend.) 3. Rose hips need no prep. Just be sure to leave a few inches of bare stem to poke into the wreath. If you don’t trust that stem to stick where it belongs, stiffen its spine with yet another floral stick wrap. The artsy part: 1. Examine the wreath and decide which is the bottom; if a hanger already is attached, the deciding has been done for you. You want the bottom more heavily fruited — as Clifton wisely put it: “In nature, you’ll find tips at the top and larger, more fully opened flowers and fruits at the bottom, so we’re just following nature here.” 2. Starting with the larger materials, place the apples where you think they look best. Just avoid what Clifton calls the “eye effect,” meaning two apples plopped directly across from each other on the ring, at 10 and 2 o’clock on its

face. If you fall into that trap, your wreath will look like it’s staring at you. Remember to slide the floral pick into the wreath at an angle, so the pick catches in the wire underpinning, into the thick of all the greens, where it won’t slide right out. 3. Move on to the nuts, following the same principles and clustering them with the apples. Don’t forget the magic of tucking in a nut so it’s partially hidden; it’s a design trick that pulls the eye in, adding depth to your wreath. 4. The rose hips will be used as filler; this is your lightest material, and adds a lacier dimension. (If your wreath came with pine cones, note how the bright orange or red of the rose hips play off the cones’ dull brown color.) Clifton uses larger clumps of rose hips at the bottom, where she wants most of her wreath weight, and “onesies” and “twosies” up top, where she wants a lighter feel. 5. Step back from your wreath and take an overall look. (Remember, you are likely your wreath’s toughest critic.) Stop short of wreath overload. Remember, less is more. Wreath for a new year: Yuletide is over. Take a deep breath, and launch the new year. You still need a flat surface, but because your wreath might be a tad dry, covering it with newspaper isn’t a bad idea. Carefully remove the apples and nuts, making way for the herbs. You’ll need a handful each of sage, rosemary and thyme — enough for three mixed bouquets, as well as additional single sprigs, as needed. 1. Prep the herb bundles: Clip a

sprig about 6 inches long (about as long as your outstretched hand, wrist to tip of your middle finger); if you cut longer than that, your herbs will flop forward; cut shorter and they’ll get buried. 2. Now, bundle, starting with one fat sprig of sage at the back of the bunch. Layer a sprig of rosemary, then the thyme with its itty-bitty leaves. Hold by the stems and, with your free hand, wrap the floral-pick wire around the stems to hold the bouquet tight. Set aside; repeat two more times. (You’ll want three herb bundles for a 24-inch wreath.) For single herb sprigs, follow the same routine; you’ll need eight of these or whatever fancies your eye. Attach the herbs to the wreath, following earlier instructions, putting them wherever you subtracted the apples. 3. A final thought: If you think you might snip away at those herbs through the winter months, adding them to soups, stews or even desserts, simply rehang the wreath. If you intend to keep this as a thing of year-round beauty, spritz with an anti-desiccant (a fancy word for stuff that keeps greenery from drying out too quickly). 4. Now relish that wreath for all seasons, from straight through the holidays and on into the depths of bleak February.

aficionado of board games since he was young and rues the day he let his mom get rid of his old ones. Scarpone, author of “Board Games” and “More Board Games” (Schiffer), sells games from the 1940s through the1990s at his website, 4gamesgoneby.com. They include some rare ones like 1951’s “Space Pilot,” 1967’s “The Monkees,” 1939’s “Pinocchio” and a copy of the only Beatles game ever made, “Flip Your Wig.” “There’s been a steady resurgence in vintage-board-game popularity for the last several years. The children of my generation have children of their own, and they want them to feel the same joy and excitement they originally felt when playing these games,” Scarpone says. While today’s game graphics tend to scream for attention,

“People respond to the innocence of the artwork they remember in a vintage game,” he notes. At vintagegameworld.com, there’s a comprehensive array of mid-century games, and browsing can be a visit back in time. There are old faves like Aggravation, Monopoly, Hi-Q and Careers, but also Easy Money, Acquire and Stock Market (“Anyone can make a million!”). Before there were Gears of War or Battlefield, you could play “Tobruk,” a war-strategy game based in World War II North Africa, or “Arab-Israeli Wars,” where you re-enact tank battles, or the classic Risk. The site’s also got games that exploited TV culture of the ’60s and ’70s: Man From U.N.C.L.E., Happy Days, I Spy, Six Million Dollar Man. If you’re lucky enough to still own an old favorite but misplaced some parts, they have a substantial inventory. And if your instructions are long lost, you may find them here too.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2011 PAGE 5C

Underweight college student cannot stomach his father’s insults Dear Abby: I’m an 18-year-old male living on my own in an apartment not far from my parents’ home. They visit me often and take turns driving me to the local college because I don’t have a car. My parents tend to worry about me. I’m rather thin, but I eat healthy. My dad goes over the top with his concern about my weight and it is hurtful. He has called me a “cadaver” in front of friends. And when he drops me off after classes, he often says, “Now go eat something fattening!” I have tried to discuss how his repeated comments affect my selfconfidence, but am always met with, “I’m your father. I have every right to

DEAR ABBY ADVICE be concerned.” Am I wrong to take offense at my dad’s brand of concern? — Twig With Feelings Dear Twig: Your father’s attempt to “help” you by ridiculing you in front of your contemporaries is insensitive. The fact that he is your father does not entitle him to be cruel. If there is a student health center at your college, go there and talk to a medical professional about what is a healthy weight for your height and age, and whether any medical tests might be necessary to verify

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

your health. If not, consult your family physician. This may provide the “proof” you need in discussions with your father. You should also ask your mother to point out to your dad that what he’s doing is counterproductive. Perhaps she can make him see the light. If that doesn’t work, arrange other transportation so you will be less dependent on your father. Dear Abby: A friend and I were talking about how wimpy a lot of guys in our generation are. We’re both in our mid-20s and seldom meet guys who take charge. Several times we have met guys who said they’d call and set up a date. We know they’re interested because they have told our friends they’d like

CRYPTOQUOTE

to date us again. But then they don’t call. I know that traditional dating rules are often discarded, but I don’t want to be the aggressor. Their being “scared” isn’t an acceptable excuse, much less an attractive quality. Why do women so often have to do all the work nowadays or end up alone? — Prefers Traditional Dear Prefers Traditional: Women do not have to do ALL the work in a relationship or risk remaining single for life. But they do have to shoulder a lot more of the responsibility than a generation ago as a result of the women’s movement. (Yes, I know I’ll catch “heck” for saying it.) As women have become more independent and aggressive, the old rules of romance

have started to disappear. Men aren’t stupid. Their view is, “If women are willing to do the courting, why should men do it?” Their passivity hasn’t turned other women off. Sending you messages through your friends instead of being direct and following through on their promises to call is business as usual for them. While their behavior may seem immature, it has worked for them before. There are men who are interested in old-fashioned romance, but they are fewer in number. Be patient, keep looking and you’ll find one. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is astounding what occurs between people who profess to love each other. You’ll hear stories and take them as cautionary tales. You’ll avoid experiencing the kind of hardships you hear about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a fine line between being bossy and taking charge. Bossy people infringe on the instincts and manners of others as they try to control things. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A deal is coming together. You may be able to guide things along, but be careful not to get more involved than is necessary. What will occur naturally and without interference may very well be brilliant. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In the words of Charles M. Schulz’s loveable comic character Charlie Brown, “To get nowhere, follow the crowd.” You have something fresh and offbeat to offer the world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll help someone be brave. You might invent a white lie or look very hard to find the bright silver lining in this person’s dark cloud. You’ll do what’s necessary. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll acknowledge that something is bothering you immediately discover something new you can do to move your life toward a more perfect situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You won’t be content with contentment. If you’re going to put the work into making your life better, you should experience thrilling highs and exhilarating happiness.

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). The pressure of finishing a job might have you feeling uptight, but on some level, you realize that this tense feeling is just what’s needed to get everything wrapped. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You get a high from giving. So you’ll dig deep into your pockets (and encourage others to do the same) in order to reignite the wonderful feeling that warms your heart when you make another person happy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be rewarded in subtle but unmistakable ways for breaking out of your comfort zone. Don’t waste a minute wishing you would have done this years ago. Celebrate where you are now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have moments of clarity that you’ll want to share with others. Hopefully, you won’t take it personally if the others are not quite ready to hear what you have to say. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The best thing to do when you feel that you are personally in a bit of trouble is to help another person out of trouble. All is resolved in generosity and love. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 17). Everything falls into place when you concern yourself with being a good friend. You’re nearly finished with a project, and by the end of January, it will be a feather in your cap. In March, you’ll build or better your business. April is your month to experience adventure. Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 14, 3, 24 and 19.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8: A wolf with manners rear.

BARRY SPYKER

Trunk space is decent, but not great for a full-size car, at 15.4 cubic feet. I recently drove a subcompact with 14. Safety is enhanced with optional blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection system, and cruise control with collision-warning feature. Standard are stability and traction control, ABS, front air bags, driver-side air bags and side-curtain bags. Fear not the big bad wolf. It can behave when you want it to — a cylinder deactivation even cuts back on four of cylinders under light loads to improve mileage. But it also knows how to be bad when you feel like howling at the moon.

WHEELS

ike a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 fooled me at first drive, coming across unexpectedly tame and docile.

Geez, with its cushioned ride and smooth acceleration, this almost feels like a luxury car. But one look at the bulging hood up front reminded me that this may be a wolf trying to conceal his big teeth. Underneath that lovely, sloping hood sits a big, bad 470-hp, 6.4-liter beast that wants to rocket you to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. And switching to sport mode tightens up the ride as though the wolf was ripping off that lousy sheep garb and tossing it into the river with a snarl. Therein lies the beauty of this SRT8: It is one of the few outright muscle cars that gives great fun yet can behave well enough to handle the everyday chores of shopping and soccer games. Not a bad trait. Looking at the SRT8, there’s nothing sheepish about it. It has an aggressive, even nasty front with a tall grille underscored by a blackened bumper. Side panels have carved-out indents. Its stance is enhanced by 20-inch two-tone wheels. Taillights sweep around the entire rear of the car like casino neon. And a trunk-lid spoiler reminds those behind — and there will be plenty behind on a straightaway — that the SRT8 Charger aims to fly. The revised 6.4-liter engine beats the predecessor by three-tenths of a second and it brings a herd of 50 more horses down the trail. The 470 horses kick up 470 foot-pounds of torque, too, which is available in liberal doses across the rpm band. The Charger is quicker than last year, hitting 60 mph in around 4.6 seconds. Acceleration is swift and fun — and it sounds musical on its way up the dial. This rear-wheel-drive muscle requires some fuel, of course. Expect 14 mpg around town, 23 on the open road when

2012 DODGE CHARGER SRT8: —Base price: $46,795 (before destination charge) —Price as tested: Unknown BARRY SPYKER is an automotive writer with McClatchy Newspapers.

The 2012 Dodge Charger is a powerful car that is unexpectedly tame and docile.

respecting the law. Side note to the easier-to-please: The 3.6-liter on the base is amazingly powerful, too, and its 8-speed automatic tranny is a nice companion for improved fuel economy. Still, it’s no SRT8, which is everything a high-performance muscle car should be: lots of power, great sound and acceleration. Steering is right on, offering precise turns thanks to an improved rack-andpinion system. Bilstein shocks at all four wheels assure a comfortable ride in the default setting and, in sport mode, a firm ride with decent handling for twisty roads. That is, it’s rather agile for a full-size sedan. Not ready to take on Porsche among the orange cones, but a real per-

former. Brembo brakes bring the Charger to rest swiftly and cleanly. Only the five-speed transmission is available with the SRT8, and it offers some kick — good for some, not for others seeking an even smoother acceleration. The sharp, racy look continues inside with two-tone colors — two choices are available — and a new flat-bottomed steering wheel, aluminum paddleshifters and foot pedals. Seats are trimmed in perforated leather and suede. The front bucket seats have large bolsters on the sides, which are supportive and comfortable, but the seat cushion is smallish and may be tight for bigger folks. Look behind you, and “SRT” is embroidered into the front seat

backs. The dash and center console are superb to touch and look at, with soft materials and carbon fiber accents. Dials are large and easy to see. Between the tach and speedometer, with its top speed of 180 mph, an info window details recent mileage, temp and race clock for the track. A big 8.4-inch touch screen offers an easy read and operation on the climate and audio, and it’s one of the easiest navigation system I’ve ever encountered. A row of push-button icons at the bottom make using the system a cinch. Overall, the Charger is roomy enough from head to toe except for backseat headroom, which is compromised some by the slanting roof. That also contributes to less than ideal visibility in the
