Property tax revenue can’t be more than 8 percent higher

Charter limits tax options By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County’s home rule charter caps property tax revenue increases, which will limit options if the new county council wants to raise taxes to avoid or minimize inherited staff cuts for 2012. The 2012 budget proposed by outgoing commissioners re-

quires mass layoffs because it reduces overall spending by $3.5 million while covering millions of dollars in rising costs for workers’ compensation, debt and union-negotiated raises. The charter says budgeted property tax revenue can’t be

more than 8 percent higher than the previous year unless county council convinces a county judge that a higher increase is warranted. The county budgeted $89.37 million in property tax revenue this year. An 8 percent increase would allow the council to budget up to $7.15 million more, or $96.52 million, next year.

However, the outgoing commissioners already factored in a 6 percent, or $5.3 million, property tax revenue increase in the proposed 2012 budget without raising taxes. Commissioners said this projected growth is realistic because of an expiring tax diversion pro-

DALLAS TWP. – Embattled Dallas High School football coach Ted Jackson will reapply for the position he has held for 27 years. The Dallas School Board voted 8-1 on Dec 12 to open the position, stating Jackson could reapply for the post. “I’ve decided to reapply,” he said Tuesday. “It’s a right I have, and after 27 years, I feel I deserve a shot.” Jackson, 60, “I’ve desaid he consulted with cided to his attorney, reapply.

Wega said Dallas has opened positions in the past, an option she said the board has available to decide if it wants to retain an employee or look for other candidates. Wega said she would be “surprised” if Jackson is the only candidate to apply for the football position. She said that has never happened at Dallas in the past. “If there is only one applicant, we will cross that bridge when we get there,” Wega said. “But we have always had several applicants in the past when positions were opened.”

WASHINGTON — The House Tuesday rejected legislation to extend a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for two months, drawing a swift rebuke from President Barack Obama that Republicans were threatening higher

taxes on 160 million workers on Jan. 1. Obama, in an appearance in the White House briefing room after the House vote, said the twomonth compromise is the only way to stop payroll taxes from going up by two percentage points. “Now let’s be clear,” Obama said in a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. “The bipartisan compromise that was reached on Saturday is the only viable way to prevent a tax hike on January 1st.

Cops: Pot sold out of ex-Selenski home Michael David Dompkosky, 19, of Wyoming, charged with the sale of marijuana. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

KINGSTON TWP. – Dallas Township police and the Luzerne County Drug Task Force charged a man with selling marijuana from a house connected to a double homicide. Michael David Dompkosky,

19, of Wyoming, was identified by township police as the man who was seen exchanging marijuana for cash at 479 Mount Olivet Road in Kingston Township on Nov. 24, 2010, according to charges filed. Authorities searched the house on Jan. 8 after conducting several marijuana purchases from the house and learning there were juveniles in a bedroom with a large amount of marijuana, according to the search warrant affidavit.

An inventory receipt to the search warrant alleged authorities found $6,000 in cash, a pound of marijuana and contraband to weigh, package and deliver illegal drugs inside the house. Dompkosky was charged with two counts each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy, and one count each of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The charges were filed with District Judge James Tupper and mailed to Dompkosky on Monday. Authorities also arrested Ali Abualburak, 19, on charges he sold marijuana from the house on Nov. 24, Dec. 30 and Jan. 7. His trial on multiple drug offenses is scheduled next month before Senior Judge Joseph Augello. Abualburak admitted to authorities that he sold marijuana from the house mostly to high

school and college students in the Back Mountain and earning $400 a day in sales, according to arrest records. The Mount Olivet Road house was formerly a residence of Hugo Selenski, who is accused in killing two people and burying their bodies on the property in May 2002. Selenski is facing a capital murder trial for the homicides. A preliminary hearing for Dompkosky is scheduled on Jan. 12.

YATESVILLE -- Pittston Area School District Superintendent George Cosgrove on Tuesday night addressed the controversy that has sprung up around the district’s hiring policy as a result of action taken at a meeting earlier this month. Cosgrove said he will be consulting with district administrative officials to research the standards and hiring practices of other districts before developing a comprehensive policy that he

Under the new policy, candidates appeared before a selection committee and received grades based on college grade-point average, job experience, subject knowledge, communication skills and other criteria. On Tuesday, Cosgrove said there had been a popular misconception the new policy was strictly an anti-nepotism policy. He said the anti-nepotism language

cally stated the top three candidates from a pool of potential hires will be considered. Those candidates are determined from a specific scoring regimen that includes experience, state-administered Praxis test scores and whether the candidate is a district resident, among other indicators. The former policy, in place since 1996, placed a greater emphasis on the role of the superintendent in recommending possible new hires. There was no specific scoring process.

Harveys Lake council gives up pay to erase deficit Members will forgo their monthly stipends for the year to help cut $13,606 shortfall. By SUSAN BETTINGER Times Leader Correspondent

HARVEYS LAKE – Borough Council on Tuesday night adopted a $1,313,525 budget for 2012 without raising taxes. Instead, council members will forgo their monthly stipends for the year to help eliminate a deficit. The seven council members are paid a total of $13,105 a year. The expected expenses for 2012 are $1,327,131, leaving a $13,606 deficit. Last year’s budget was $1,336,675. Council President Francis Kopko noted the council members would not take any pay for the year, and the budget itself notes there is no money under council’s pay. According to Kopko, residents who are delinquent with their real estate taxes and/or trash collection fees are a major reason for the deficit.

Mericle hearing set for Jan. federal judge has scheduled a A hearing for Jan. 6 regarding the proposed $17.75 million settlement of

the “kids for cash” lawsuits filed against real estate developer Robert Mericle. The tentative settlement, reached last week, must be approved by U.S. District Judge A. Richard Mericle Caputo, who directed attorneys in the case to appear at 10:30 a.m. at the federal courthouse in Wilkes-Barre to discuss legal matters relating to the case. The settlement calls for payments to juveniles ranging from $500 to $5,000, dependent upon various factors, including whether they were incarcerated at the PA Child Care or Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers. Parents will also be able to recoup costs they paid toward their child’s incarceration. Attorneys have estimated that 2,400 juveniles are eligible to receive payment.

Flood estate sues board The estate of former Luzerne County controller Steve Flood has filed a lawsuit against the Luzerne County Retirement Board seeking payment of legal fees to fight a defamation suit. The defamation suit, filed by former county pension fund money manager ASCO Financial Group Inc. over statements made by Flood on a November 2002 radio program, was disconFlood tinued in November, four months after Flood’s death. The Philadelphia-based Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis sued Flood and his partner and guardian, Heather Paulhamus, in 2010, seeking $205,696 in legal fees for representing him in the defamation suit. The county Retirement Board had initially voted to pay for Flood’s legal defense in the libel suit but reversed the decision shortly after Flood lost his bid for re-election in 2005. The latest suit, filed by lawyers at Brady & Grabowski, P.C., argues that the Retirement Board owed Flood a defense and representation.

LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT

Three county agencies to use former train station in Wilkes-Barre

Market St. Square plans on track By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – The project to renovate the former Central Railroad of New Jersey train station at Market Street Square has begun chugging along. The board of the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday authorized Executive Director Andy Reilly to negotiate a contract with Quad3 to prepare specifications for site development, selective demolition and renovation of the entireinteriorandexteriorofthe143-yearold structure in Wilkes-Barre. Reilly said county commissioners in October approved $2 million in funding through the Office of Community Development’s revolving loan program. Reilly also is director of that office. The authority vote appears to have

been a formality, as Quad3 has a standing contract with the county to provide engineering services for such projects. Reilly said Quad3 is already in the process of developing Reilly plans and Luzerne County Engineer Joe Gibbons is overseeing the project. Gibbons said he has met with Quad3 representatives and they scoped out a designplanthatis50to75percentcomplete, but physical work won’t begin until a project manual is finished and he’s confident the county is adequately protected. He said the authority will submit a zoning/subdivision and land development application to the city of Wilkes-Barre

shortly, and he hopes the Pennsylvania Historic & Museum Commission will approve the project by February. Then the county can advertise for construction bids. PHMC approval is necessary because the structure is on the National Register of Historic Places and public money is being used. “If everything goes well, we could see work beginning in early to mid-spring,” Gibbons said. The plan is to renovate the property for county agencies that lease space in buildings not owned by the county. Those offices – the Convention and Visitors Bureau, CharlesT.AdamsSeniorCenterandPenn State Extension – pay a combined $134,000 annually in rent that could be used to maintain the train station property.

Foundation brings Christmas joy to kids at Kirby Family House

Gifts unlock smiles By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Kaiyira Alston’s smile beamed from ear-to-ear as she climbed aboard her new, purple bicycle. The 9-year-old already knew how to ride without training wheels, but this was the first she could call her own. She gripped the handlebars with anticipation. “It’s great,” she said. “It’s nice and big.” Kiayira’s sister, Kamirah, 7, and brother Zahir, 5, wore smiles too as they looked over their new bikes Tuesday night. The children are residents of the Salvation Army’s Kirby Health Center Family House, a transitional living facility for homeless families in Wilkes-Barre. The bikes they received Tuesday were an early Christmas present from the Jenni Sunshine Foundation and founder Frank Kearney. “It’s a gigantic thing for the kids,” Kearney said as he bounced between kids in a pair of rabbit ears. “Did you see the smiles? That’s the best part of the whole thing. … It’s worth a million bucks to see that smile on the kids’ faces.” The foundation, named for Kearney’s fiancée Jennifer Riley, who passed away three years ago, has the dual aims of bringing art to children and helping the homeless.

In other business, the board approved the 2012 operating budget, which shrank from $470,000 to $432,000.

The authority had only drawn $110,000 of that loan for an environmental study, but loan payments are based on the entire amount borrowed, and a review by the state Department of Environmental Protection is delaying the project.

Supervisor resigns at meeting

out at the giveaway. Lisa Caruthers, a case worker at the shelter, said the gifts are greatly appreciated. “It makes a big difference because a lot of

these children never had bicycles before, and they’re 9, 10, 11 years old,” she said. “So in my opinion it’s very important. It’s a stepping stone in life.”

DALLAS TWP. – Two supervisors postponed appointing a replacement Tuesday night after one supervisor abruptly resigned and residents accused the officials of violating the Sunshine Act. After a seven-minute meeting, Chairman Phil Walter announced his resignation to residents in the packed municipal building. The remaining supervisors, Glenn Howell, who will be replaced by Liz Martin on Jan. 3, and Frank Wagner attempted to appoint township emergency management coordinator Jack Dodson to the position. Residents accused the supervisors of violating the Sunshine Act, or open meetings law. Martin said she felt the supervisors had deliberated outside of a public forum because she heard from District Judge James Tupper that Dodson had contacted the judge about the process of swearing into an elected office. “For someone to plan his swearing-in, there had to have been discussion and a decision made,” she said. Martin urged the supervisors to postpone the decision until January, when she and Wagner could make the decision together. Wagner has two years left on the board, and Martin will serve for six years. Both Howell and Wagner admitted they had Dodson in mind for the position but never spoke together about the issue. Wagner said he had a list of five residents he had in mind for the position and he questioned Dodson at length about his previous experiences serving the township. Dodson also serves on the township planning commission and ran for the position of supervisor against Wagner in 1976. Howell told residents he didn’t like the fact that many have said the supervisors See SUPERVISOR, Page 14A

U.S. House map OK’d in Pa. House

Legislation redrawing districts now goes to Gov. Corbett for approval. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Races for Pennsylvania’s U.S. House seats in 2012 are beginning to take shape as a bill redrawing the districts to try to ensure the majority are represented by Republicans headed to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk on Tuesday. The state House of Representatives approved the proposed new map, 136-61. The Republican governor is expected to sign it into law. Jan. 24 is the first day for candidates to circulate nomination petitions. Top Republicans drew the plan in secret and unveiled it a week before it passed both the House and Senate on its way to becoming law. Speculation has centered on whether state House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, who helped draw the districts and lives in the new 12th District, was planning to run. Asked about it Tuesday, Turzai would not say yes or no, only that he’s working hard in his current job. Democrat Manan Trivedi, an Iraq war veteran and physician who last year unsuccessfully challenged U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, a suburban Philadelphia Republican, plans to run for the seat again next year. A new congressional map is required every decade to reflect population shifts. Because Pennsylvania grew more slowly than the rest of the nation, it lost a U.S. House seat, dropping from 19 to 18 in the 2012 election and ensuring significant changes. Those once-a-decade changes are being controlled this time around by Republicans, since they control the state Legislature and the governor’s office. To shrink Pennsylvania to 18 districts, the proposed new map would eliminate the suburban Pittsburgh 4th District and combine it with the 12th District seat. Meanwhile, the redrawn map shifts tracts of Democratic-leaning voters, such as the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, from swing districts to districts where they are less likely to defeat Republican incumbents. In addition, it would stretch districts held by Republicans in increasingly liberal areas of eastern Pennsylvania deep into central Pennsylvania to pick up more conservative voters. Republicans defended the map as meeting stringent legal and constitutional guidelines, and say the map serves the will of voters by protecting the incumbents they’ve already picked. Democrats criticized it as a map in which politicians pick their voters, not the other way around.

Shortfall could hit $500 million by end of fiscal year

State may freeze spending By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett’s top budget adviser on Tuesday warned that Pennsylvania’s tax collections will continue to suffer from economic weakness and said he is developing a plan to freeze some state spending to ease a shortfall that he expects will reach at least $500 million by the end of the fiscal year in six months. Budget Secretary Charles Zogby would not give details about the kind or amount of spending that could be frozen, but said he expects Corbett, a Republican, to act by the end of December on a set of options given to him by Zogby. He also warned of another painful budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year beginning July 1 in which Corbett would balance spending without raising taxes. But the state will have to find a way to pay for a projected $1 billion in growing health care, pension and debt costs, Zogby said. “We want to make very clear that these are very difficult times, with very difficult choices in front of us,” Zogby told reporters in a traditional mid-year budget briefing in the Capitol. Zogby said while many thought the cur-

Gov. Tom Corbett, seen delivering his budget address in March for the fiscal year 20112012 to a joint session of the state House and Senate, might be faced with ordering spending freezes to cope with revenue shortfalls before the end of the fiscal year. The governor’s budget adviser warned of the shortfall on Tuesday. AP FILE PHOTO

rent budget was difficult to balance, he said that “in many respects, 2012-13 is going to be an even more difficult challenge.” The current $27.2 billion budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year made deep cuts to education aid, held the line on human services costs despite rising demand for services, and did not raise taxes to cope with a drop in state revenues and the loss of federal stimulus money. It cut spending by 3 percent, lowered business taxes and carried

$1 billion over into the new fiscal year. Other than saying that tax increases are not under consideration, Zogby would not reveal what the Corbett administration will propose in the governor’s February budget plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Through Nov. 30, collections for the state’s main bank account, called the general fund, totaled $9.4 billion, which was $345.3 million, or 3.6 percent, below estimate, according to the state Department of Revenue.

Pa. gets $420M in disaster aid, total should rise The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The federal government has approved $420 million in disaster aid for Pennsylvanians hit by the one-two punch of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Updated figures from federal and state emergency management officials say more than 94,000 people registered for disaster assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A total of $134 million in assistance grants have been approved along with $122 million in housing assistance including repairs and temporary housing. The National Flood Insurance Program has settled $196 million in insurance claims and the Small Business Administration has handed out $82 million in low-interest loans. The deadline to apply for aid was Dec. 14. Officials say applications are still being processed and the final figures for total aid are expected to rise.

Four accusers say Philadelphia baseball writer molested them in the 1970s

Conlin accused of sexual abuse

PHILADELPHIA — Three women and a man say they were molested as children by Bill Conlin, a Hall of Fame baseball writer and Philadelphia Daily News columnist. In vivid accounts, the four say Conlin groped and fondled them, and touched their genitals, in assaults in the 1970s, when they were from 7 to 12 years old. “This is a tragedy,” said Kelley Blanchet, a niece of Conlin’s who said he molested her when she was a child. “People have kept his secret. It’s not just the victims, it’s the victims’ families. There were so many people who knew about this and did nothing.” Conlin retired Tuesday from the Daily

Conlin

News, where he had worked for more than four decades. His columns have moved on the McClatchy-Tribune News Service sports wire.Through his lawyer, George Bochetto, Conlin declined to

comment. “Mr. Conlin is obviously floored by these accusations, which supposedly happened 40 years ago,” Bochetto said. “He has engaged me to do everything possible to bring the facts forward to vindicate his name.” Blanchet, now a prosecutor in Atlantic City, N.J., and the others said they were speaking out now because the alleged sex-

ual assaults and cover-up at Penn State brought back painful memories, and reminded them of the secrecy that shrouded their own assaults. Prosecutors in Gloucester County, N.J., who took videotaped statements from the four last year say there is nothing they can do because assaults that occurred before 1996 fall under the statute of limitations. Conlin, 77, was the recipient of the 2011 J.G. Taylor Spink Award, named for a publisher of the Sporting News and presented at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. “I can’t even begin to express the shock, sadness, and outrage I feel by what Bill Conlin is alleged to have done,” said Daily News editor Larry Platt, who immediately accepted Conlin’s offer to retire.

Conlin joined the Daily News in 1965 and was its Phillies beat writer from 1966 until 1987, when he became a columnist. He gained a national profile as a commentator on the ESPN program The Sports Reporters. He is the author of two baseball-related books, the Rutledge Book of Baseball and Batting Cleanup, Bill Conlin. In a recent column, “Tough Guys Are Talking About Sandusky,” Conlin questioned people who said they would have intervened had they seen Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant coach, abusing a child: “Everybody says he will do the right thing, get involved, put his own ass on the line before or after the fact. But the moment itself has a cruel way of suspending our fearless intentions.”

Iraq VP denies charge

herd of deer cross a snow-covered gravel road Tuesday near Prairie City, Iowa. While that part of the country has received some snow, the state is not in the path of the deadly storm that halted travel throughout the Great Plains.

Sunni vice president denied I raq’s Shiite accusations that he organized

death squads, describing the charges Tuesday as a trumped-up case brought only after the departure of U.S. troops about assassinations allegedly committed five years ago. The arrest warrant issued against the highest-ranking Sunni politician threatens to tear apart Iraq’s coalition government and perhaps kick-start another Sunni insurgency. It raised suspicions that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, ordered the arrest of Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi as part of a campaign to consolidate his hold on power out of a fear that Sunnis in and out of Iraq are plotting against him.

Syrian state television showed pictures of military maneuvers and said they were meant to show its forces are ready to “repulse any aggression the enemies of our nations might think about.” Activist groups said about 100 people were killed on Monday, the same day Syria agreed to the monitors after weeks of stalling. About 70 of the dead were said to be army defectors. The groups said Tuesday’s toll was at least 47 and possibly as high as 62. ROME

Nations to pressure Iran The U.S. and other nations meeting Tuesday in Rome to discuss sanctions against Iran for its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons have resolved to boost pressure on Tehran to restart negotiations, Italian foreign ministry officials said. The closed-door meeting brought together officials of what the ministry described as “like-minded countries.” The group included the United States and EU nations, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and possibly a Gulf country, diplomats said. Exact participants were not identified. The Wall Street Journal, citing unidentified U.S., European and Arab diplomats, reported that Iran’s oil exports and global energy prices were key issues on the table. Iran denies that it is pursuing nuclear weapons, saying its nuclear program is entirely peaceful. MORRIS TWP., N.J.

Plane crash on road kills 5 Investigators for the National Transportation Safety Board say the pilot of a plane that crashed on a New Jersey highway talked with an air traffic controller about icing shortly beforehand. They say it was only a seven-second call. They are not yet sure if it was to report icing had occurred or to question the location of possible icing conditions. The plane crashed Tuesday morning on Interstate 287 in northern New Jersey. All five people aboard were killed, but no one on the ground was injured. Federal investigators say the plane departed Teterboro Airport at 9:50 a.m. and crashed 14 minutes later. It was headed for Georgia was carrying two New York investment bankers and the wife and two children of one of them.

Late leader’s son leads mourning

Anointed heir of North Korea Kim Jong Un at front of procession at funeral for his father, Kim Jong Il.

Change applies to homeless and out-of-state offenders, institutional assault offense.

The Associated Press

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea’s anointed heir Kim Jong Un led a solemn procession of mourners Tuesday to the glass coffin of his father and longtime ruler — a strong indication that a smooth leadership transition was under way in the country known for secrecy and unpredictability. Weeping members of North Korea’s elite filed past the body of Kim Jong Il, which was draped in red cloth and surrounded by stony-faced honor guards and dozens of red and white flowers. State media fed a budding personality cult around his youngest known son, hailing him as a “lighthouse of hope” as the country was awash in a “sea of tears and grief.” Kim’s coffin appeared to float on a raft of “kimjongilia” — the flowers named after him — with his head and shoulders bathed in a spotlight as solemn music played. Various medals and honors were displayed at his feet.

AP PHOTO

The body of late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il lies in state Tuesday in a memorial palace in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The bier was located in a hall of the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, a mausoleum where the embalmed body of Kim Jong Il’s father and North Korean founder Kim Il Sung has been on view in a glass sarcophagus since his death in 1994. Kim Jong Il’s 27-year-old son and heir, Kim Jong Un, wore a black Mao-style suit, his hair cropped closely on the sides but longer on top, as he walked with much older officials in suits and military uniforms. Stepping away from the group, Kim Jong Un bowed deeply, his expression serious, before circling the bier with other

officials. The announcement Monday of Kim’s death over the weekend raised acute worries in the region over the possibility of a power struggle between the untested son and rivals in an impoverished and reclusive country with a nuclear program. But there have been no signs of unrest or discord in Pyongyang. With the country in an 11-day period of official mourning, flags were at half-staff at all military units, factories, businesses, farms and public buildings. The streets of Pyongyang were quiet, but throngs gathered at landmarks honoring Kim.

issued an unusually strong statement of regret for what it called “violations” against women — a quick turnaround after days of dismissing the significance of the abuse.

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — More than a month after Jerry Sandusky was arrested on child molestation charges, a new law went on the books in Pennsylvania on Tuesday expanding the state’s institutional sexual assault offense. Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill to revise the state’s version of Megan’s Law and bring Pennsylvania into compliance with feder- Corbett al sex-offender registration standards. “We can hope that by making our laws tougher, we can spare others the pain and grief that has visited too many families,” Corbett said in the Capitol. The law gives state prosecutors changes they had long sought to enforce Megan’s Law registration requirements for homeless people and those convicted in other states. It also expands the crime of institutional sexual assault so that it applies to employees, volunteers and other adults who work with children in schools or other centers. That change was proposed in separate legislation months before the arrest of Sandusky, although a committee vote to amend it into the bill occurred earlier this month, said Karen Dalton, a lawyer for the Republican majority in the House Judiciary Committee.

Man sentenced in beating

Ricardo A. Sanchez, 23, of Hazleton, gets 6 to 12 years for assaulting off-duty cop. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

The McGowan, Morris and Atkins families stand behind Mayor Tom Leighton on Tuesday during the dedication ceremony.

former mayor of Wilkes-Barre and former owner of the John V. Morris Funeral Home. • Atkins Lane: J.D. Atkins, New York businessman who came to Wilkes-Barre to help foster the lace industry. The lace mill was located on the land on which the new housing development was built. • Lace Mill Lane: In recognition of the significant role that the lace industry played in the city and the North End as well as honoring the former industrial site. Representatives of the Morris and McGowan families were pre-

sent for the ceremony, as well as Luzerne County Commissioner Thomas Cooney and Gene Brady of the Housing Development Corp., the city’s partners in the project. “On behalf of my family, we are pleased, honored and humbled by the naming of this street in honor of my uncle,” said Gert McGowan. She was flanked by her brothers Daniel and Leo and sister-in-law Michelle McGowan. Cecelia Morris, widow of John V. Morris, thanked Leighton. Brady said nine people are residing in seven of the 12 senior cottages. Six houses are built and one is under contract, Leighton said. Bob Moss, a resident of Courtright Street, welcomed the new neighborhood.

“Compared to what was here before, this is a miracle,” he said. Fire destroyed most of the old lace mill complex in 2007, and the city took ownership in 2008 after a four-year legal battle. Shortly after, all buildings on the 11.2-acre site were razed. The buildings once made up the former Wilkes-Barre Lace Manufacturing Co. The cost for Phase I is $2.4 million, and Phase II is expected to cost an additional $1.55 million. Drew McLaughlin, assistant to Leighton, said funding for Phase II is being sought through a federal grant administered by HUD.

WILKES-BARRE – A Hazleton man convicted of the May 2010 assault of an off-duty police officer was sentenced Tuesday to six to 12 years in state prison. Ricardo A. Sanchez, 23, of North Wyoming Street, was sentenced on charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. “This was a vicious attack, a needless attack and an act of stupidity,” Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said before sentencing Sanchez. Sanchez was convicted of the crimes after a jury trial in September. According to court records, Michael Colasurdo, who was offduty at the time, and several friends left Two Guys Pizza, West Diamond Avenue, after eating. Colasurdo asked a group of people to move their vehicle so that Colasurdo and his friends could drive away. Sanchez approached and shoved Colasurdo’s friend, Greg Miller, to the ground. Colasurdo grabbed Sanchez and told him to calm

Paralyzing snowstorm loosens grip on Great Plains Some roads reopened after the storm, which left 15 inches of snow in some places.

By JOHN HANNA Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. — A deadly storm that halted travel throughout the Great Plains weakened Tuesday as it headed east into Missouri and toward the Great Lakes, and officials reopened interstates in areas where motorists had been forced to adjust holiday plans mid-trip. Authorities still were reporting snow drifts of up to 10 feet high in southeast Colorado, and Texas

officials warned drivers to stay off the road in the Panhandle so crews would have a clear path to remove ice and snow. Major highways in the western half of the Oklahoma Panhandle remained closed. Still, officials reopened Interstate 40 in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico, and portions of Interstate 70 in western Kansas that had been closed. New Mexico reopened a closed section of Interstate 25, the main highway from Santa Fe to the Colorado line after crews cleared drifts as high as 5 feet. The storm dumped as much as 15 inches of snow as it hit parts of five states. In Boise City, Okla., at least 40

The storm isn’t expected to hamper the Northeast. The National Weather Service at Binghamton, N.Y., predicts a 100 percent chance of precipitation today and tonight, but temperatures will remain in the 40s and low 50s. Temperatures are expected to remain above freezing through the week.

About 200 flooded properties proposed for federal buyouts Municipalities must submit applications requesting buyouts by Dec. 30. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

About 200 flood-damaged residential properties in 15 Luzerne County municipalities have been proposed for the first wave of government buyouts, county Flood Protection Authority Executive Director Jim Brozena said during Tuesday’s authority meeting. The first round of proposals is for “substantially damaged structures,” which are properties that lost at least half of their value due to flooding. Municipalities must submit detailed formal applications requesting buyouts of the 200 properties by Dec. 30, Brozena said. Seven municipalities have accepted the county’s offer to prepare the applications, which must include property appraisals, he said. They are: Conyngham, Nescopeck, Jenkins, Plains and Exeter townships, and West Pittston and Shickshinny boroughs. Brozena said the other municipalities are submitting appli-

cations on their own: Salem, Plymouth, Hunlock and Wright townships, the city of Nanticoke, and NescoBrozena peck, Plymouth and West Wyoming boroughs. The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides 75 percent of the funding, and the remaining 25 percent typically comes from the state. The decision on which properties are approved for buyouts is made by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, or PEMA. Brozena said some of the 200 properties will be eliminated through the formal application process. Municipalities should learn which properties are approved in April or May, he said. Though property owners decide if they want to participate, municipal officials must apply because the local government has to agree to own and maintain the sites after the properties are demolished. These parcels may never be developed again. Dec. 30 is also the deadline for municipalities to propose other less-damaged residential

Municipalities should learn which properties are approved in April or May, he said. properties for buyouts, though the formal applications for those structures aren’t due until the end of February, he said. The state advises the buyout purchase prices be based on the pre-flood value of a property as determined by a state-certified appraiser. In other business Tuesday, authority members accepted an award from 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania President Jack M. Machek honoring the River Common project for providing flood protection, recreational opportunities and reconnecting residents to the Susquehanna River. The authority also agreed to keep the Wyoming Valley Levee fee the same in 2012. The fee, imposed on 14,470 properties in low-lying, levee-protected areas, ranges from $46.85 to $93.70 for residential properties and $225.48 to $676.44 for commercial sites.

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge said Tuesday he will rule before his term expires at the end of next week on an appeal request by the Northeastern Pennsylvania School Districts Health Trust to set aside a judgment that would require the trust to pay more than $5 million to two local school districts. Judge Lewis Wetzel, whose last day on the bench is Dec. 30, recently ruled the health trust should pay $2.8 million to the Dallas School District and $2.3 million to the Pittston Area School District. The districts argued they were entitled to millions they had paid in premiums that had helped the trust build up a large cash reserve. Attorneys for the health trust argue that the agree-

ment signed by all members upon joining required money paid into the trust stay there unless Wetzel the consortium is dissolved. Shortly after the judge’s ruling, attorneys for the health trust filed motions requesting the verdict be reversed and returned in favor of the health trust, claming that the judge had erred in several aspects of his ruling, including that a new trial should be held. The health trust board voted unanimously Monday to appeal the court’s ruling. No appeal had been filed as of Tuesday. Attorney Howard Bashman told the trust board it would have 30 days to file an appeal after a ruling on those motions, but warned that it may be wise to act sooner to prevent the two districts from trying to seize or freeze trust accounts in an effort to secure the money.

Judge Lewis Wetzel recently ruled the health trust should pay $2.8 million to the Dallas School District and $2.3 million to the Pittston Area School District.

The board authorized Bashman and other attorneys working on the case to file notice of an appeal and “take all action necessary to protect the interests of the trust.” Attorney Cynthia Vullo, who represents the health trust, said Tuesday there is approximately $10 million in surplus in the trust. A total of around $7 million will ultimately have to be paid to the districts, collectively, because of interest and attorney fees, said attorney Howard Levinson, who represents the districts. Wetzel said he would give attorneys time to respond to recently filed court papers regarding the attorney and interest fees, before he issues a ruling on all the requests made by attorneys.

OTHER OPINION: NORTH KOREA

Resume food aid during transition

HE DEATH OF North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il speeds up the choreography of despotic succession as the youngest son of the “Dear Leader” is installed to run the family business. Kim Jong Un is hustling to secure his position of power. Reports suggest he already was shuffling the upper ranks of the military with younger officers, who now owe their allegiance to him. The concern is the transition of power to an unknown twenty-something will inspire irrational acts by the North Korean military, so the new leader appears tough. Two North Korean attacks in fall 2010 – the sinking of a South Korean naval ship and the shelling of an island – have been seen as an early introduction of Kim Jong Un by his ailing father, according to University of Washington professor Clark Sorensen, director of the Center for Korean Studies at the Jackson School. EDITORIAL BOARD

Kim Jong Un

What happens next? Safe to say the essential puzzlement is subject to great speculation at the highest diplo-

matic levels. The northern half of the peninsula remains a murky, chaotic place. Sorensen points out the Dear Leader presided with iron-fisted rule through a famine in 1990s that claimed 600,000 lives. Severe food shortages persist. Another round of humanitarian food aid is under consideration by the United States via five American nongovernmental organizations. The United Nations also might be involved. The food aid should proceed. Resumption of food aid by the United States sends its own message of an openness to change, by all sides. The Seattle Times

Safety, jobs and regulation priorities of pipeline bill SUPPORTING OUR nation’s infrastructure is critical to maintaining a strong economy, keeping the public safe, creating jobs and spurring economic development. As a senior member of the Transportation Committee and the chairman of the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials, safety and job creation are my highest priorities. I am extremely proud that the House of Representatives and the Senate unanimously approved my pipeline safety bill, the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011. Getting this landmark legislation through Congress was a monumental accomplishment and underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of our pipeline infrastructure. This important legislation builds on our strong commitment to ensuring the continued safety and reliability of our nation’s pipeline system and supports the creation of American jobs. This legislation is vitally important because it provides the regulatory certainty necessary for industry to make investments and create American jobs. Ensuring a sen-

This is especially true in Pennsylvania, where the development of the Marcellus Shale presents a historic opportunity for our state to reinvigorate our economy. In crafting this bipartisan bill that recently gained the support of every member of the House and Senate, as well as the backing of both the pipeline industry and safety advocates, we worked hard to strengthen the enforcement of current laws and to fill gaps in existing laws where necessary. We also focused on addressing National Transportation Safety Board recommendations resulting from recent pipeline incidents with balanced and reasonable responses, including addressing high-profile incidents in California, Michigan, Montana and here in Pennsylvania. At a pipeline safety hearing I held earlier this year outside of Philadelphia, I highlighted the importance of doing “more with less”

COMMENTARY

in this time of tight federal budgets. An idea raised at that hearing became an important provision in my bill to utilize state and local government personnel as a force multiplier to supplement federal pipeline inspectors at no cost to the federal government. I worked closely with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in developing this language, and the PUC is pushing forward with my support to position Pennsylvania as the nation’s leader in establishing a regional pipeline safety training center. The Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act will improve upon America’s already safe national pipeline infrastructure. Less than 2 percent of the bills introduced in the congested 112th Congress have become law, which makes passage of my legislation even more significant. I am extremely proud to have authored this major legislative accomplishment that strengthens America’s energy infrastructure, creates jobs and reduces our dependence on foreign energy.

he council-manager form of government in Luzerne County officially begins Jan. 2. It’s patterned after a corporate business model in which the council acts as the board of directors and the manager acts as the chief executive officer (CEO). Council’s role is to provide vision, policy and overall guidance. The manager’s role is to run the day-to-day operations in accordance with the direction provided for by the elected council. As council members eagerly await the arrival of the new manager, the temptation will arise to jump in with both feet and begin tackling day-to-day management issues. Doing so, even with good intentions, might prove to be problematic. Council’s role is not to meddle in the dayto-day operations or review every detail. Council does not supervise the manager or prepare the general budget. Developing a positive working relationship between council and the executive manager is essential. Trust, honesty, good communication and understanding of each other’s roles must be established and reinforced.

When council evaluates the new manager, the only consideration should be how well the manager is implementing the vision adopted by council. The manager’s job is to make that vision a reality. Without a clear vision we might never achieve greatness. Having a clear sense of where Luzerne County is going and where we need to be 10 years down the road is the work of council. Focusing on jobs, prosperity, the economy, entrepreneurship, governance, education, health, safety and social connectivity is the key to our future. It is important for council to not devote all its attention on internal problems while neglecting the big picture. Also, it might not be fun or exciting, but without citizen involvement, government can lose focus on what is important and

Writer disputes quotes of space heater costs

want to point out some misleading advertising I have seen in The Times Leader. I have seen a number of ads for electric space heaters that say they can heat your home for very little cost. Some say “pennies a day.” One says “5 cents an hour.” Our residential electric rates are around 11.5 cents/kilowatt-hour. These space heaters use 1,500 watts of power at full power, which is 1.5 kw. At 11.5 cents/kwh, a heater running for an hour will cost 17.25 cents an hour. This sure is a lot more than “5 cents an hour” or “pennies a day.” Most heaters have a high and low setting with the low setting for most being 1,000 watts, which equates to 11.5 cents per hour, still more than double some of these claims. Consumers should be aware of these dubious claims. Larry Peterson Wilkes-Barre

stopgap measure. “President Obama needs to call on Senate Democrats to go back into session ... and resolve this bill as soon as possible,” said House Speaker Boehner, R-Ohio. “I need the president to help out.” If Congress doesn’t break the stalemate and pass a bill by the end of the year, payroll taxes will go up by 2 percentage points for 160 million workers on Jan. 1. Almost 2 million people could lose unemployment benefits in January as well, and doctors would bear big cuts in Medicare payments. The House vote, 229-193, kicks the measure back to the Senate, where the bipartisan two-month measure passed on Saturday by a sweeping 89-10 vote. The Senate then promptly left Washington for the holidays. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says he won’t allow bargaining until the House approves the Senate’s short-term measure. A “yes” vote is a vote to reject the bill. Area Reps. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, and Tom Marino, RLycoming Township, voted to reject the bill. Rep. Tim Holden, DSt. Clair, voted not to reject the bill. “I have been trying to negotiate a yearlong extension with Repub-

licans for weeks, and I am happy to continue doing so as soon as the House of Representatives passes the bipartisan compromise to protect middle-class families, but not before then,” said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The House vote caps a partisan debate on Obama’s jobs agenda, which has featured numerous campaign-style appearances but little real bipartisan negotiation, other than Senate talks last week that produced the two-month extension. The Senate’s short-term, lowest-common-denominator approach would renew a 2 percentage point cut in the Social Security payroll tax, plus jobless benefits averaging about $300 a week for the long-term unemployed, and would prevent a 27 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors. The $33 billion cost would be financed by a .10 percentage point hike in home loan guarantee fees charged by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which the administration says would raise the monthly payment on a typical $210,000 loan by about $15 a month. The House passed a separate plan last week that would have extended the payroll tax cut for one year. But that version also contained spending cuts opposed by Democrats and tighter rules for jobless benefits. The House and Senate bills included a provision designed to force Obama to make a decision

on construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would deliver up to 700,000 barrels of oil daily from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Texas. The provision requires him to issue the needed permit unless he declares the pipeline would not serve the national interest. Democrats and the White

House had reversed course and accepted GOP demands on Keystone, which contributed to sweeping GOP support for the Senate measure. The White House signaled that Obama would block the project.

Many viewed the property tax cap as one of the key selling points to convince voters to choose the switch to home rule. Home rule transition solicitor Jeff Malak said specifics on calculating caps would have to be studied by the interim or permanent county manager and chief solicitor after the council is seated Jan. 2. The council has until Feb. 15 to exercise its power to amend the commissioners’ 2012 budget. “There will be questions.

Zapoticky’s son, Ryan, is a junior at Dallas and was the team’s quarterback. The school district posted the varsity football coach position on its website on Dec. 15 and set a deadline of Jan. 3 at 3 p.m. for applications. The position of head weightlifting coach, also held by Jackson, was posted on the website on Dec. 16. The deadline for that position is also Jan. 3. Jackson made $7,208 as football coach, according to the school board minutes from the April 2011 meeting. He was paid $1,075 as head weightlifting coach for the 2010-11 school year, the same salary listed on the school’s website posting for the open position. Wega said Dr. Rick Coslett, chair-

Also driving their frustration was that the Senate, as it so often does, appeared intent on leaving the House holding the bag — pressuring House lawmakers to go along with its plan. Tuesday’s vote technically puts the onus back on the Senate — but also invites a full-blown battle with Obama, whose poll numbers have inched up during the battling over his jobs initiative. Both sides were eager to position themselves as the strongest advocates of the payroll tax cut, with House Republicans accusing the Senate of lollygagging on vacation and Senate Democrats countering that the House was seeking a partisan battle rather than taking the obvious route of approving the stopgap bill to buy more time for negotiations. “If you say you want to do this for a year, put your vote where your rhetoric is,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, a member of the House GOP leadership. “If you’re not willing to work over the holidays, admit to the American people that you’re not willing to work over the holidays.” “Right now Americans want two things from their Congress: middle class tax relief and compromise,” said Rep.

Wambach named AP Female Athlete of the Year

Penn State is telling verbal commitments to keep options open until coach is hired.

LSU head coach Les Miles was selected as The Associated Press college football coach of the year on Tuesday.

Miles gets selected top coach

By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s current message to prospective recruits sounds a bit unusual: Keep your options open until the school finally settles on a replacement for ousted Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno. It could hurt the quality of Penn State’s next recruiting class. But interim coach Tom Bradley wants to maintain transparency with potential Nittany Lions following child sexabuse charges against a former assistant We’ve been coach that left transpar- the program in ent about turmoil. “We’ve been everything. honest and open with I think them.

On the other hand, few searches have ever occurred under such extraordinary circumstances. School trustees fired Paterno on Nov. 9, four days after authorities filed the first set of charges against Jerry Sandusky. The assistant, who retired in 1999, is awaiting a jury trial after pleading not guilty to allegations that span from 1994 to 2009. Besides the ongoing criminal investigation, the NCAA and the Big Ten — among other organizations — have announced they are looking into the scandal. Paterno isn’t a target of the criminal investigation, but was dismissed anyway amid mounting pressure that school leaders should have done more to stop alleged abuse. Paterno, who turns 85 on Wednesday, was released from the hospital Sunday following a weeklong stay to make it easier for doctors to tend to his fractured pelvis while also treating him for lung cancer. “Saw boatloads of birthday See PSU, Page 5B

Kicking to the top By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

CHICAGO — With the final seconds ticking down and the Americans on the verge of their earliest exit ever from the Women’s World Cup, Abby Wambach kept waving her index finger at her teammates. One chance, she screamed, all they needed was one chance. When it came in the form of a leftfooted cross from Megan Rapinoe, Wambach pounced. With one vicious whip of her head, she changed the course of this year’s World Cup and sparked a frenzy rarely seen for women’s sports in the United States. Wambach’s performance at the World Cup made her the clear choice for the 2011 Female Athlete of the Year in the United States, selected by members of The Associated Press. The U.S. forward received 65 of the 214 votes cast, while teammate Hope Solo (38) was a distant second and basketball player Maya Moore (35) was third. Wambach is the first individual football player — man or woman — to win one of the AP’s annual sports awards, which began in 1931. The U.S. women’s team won in 1999, when their

World Cup triumph at the Rose Bowl transfixed the nation. “We, as a team, did something that no team since Mia Hamm was able to do,” Wambach told the AP. “Even the team that won the (Olympic) gold medal in 2008 wasn’t able to inspire

and get people excited about women’s soccer. It goes to show you the impact drama can bring.” Wambach’s four goals in Germany give her 13 in three World Cup appearances. That’s the most by an American, topping Michelle Akers by one, and puts her third on the all-time World Cup scoring list behind Brazil forward Marta and Germany striker Birgit Prinz. The 31-year-old American ranks third on the U.S. career scoring list with 125 goals, trailing only Mia Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly (130). “When she’s on top of her game,” United States coach Pia Sundhage said, “she’s one of the best in the world.” Wambach was certainly at her best at the World Cup, leading the Americans to the final, where they lost to Japan on penalty kicks. “I’m not a person who cares much about (individual) awards, but I really appreciate you guys recognizing this team,” Wambach said. The Americans are the defending Olympic champions, and Wambach and her teammates are currently training for next month’s regional qualifying tournament.

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU’s 2011 season will be remembered for challenging Les Miles’ crisis-management skills over and over again. It could also go down as the greatest season in the history of a program that has been around since 1893. Now within one more victory of an unbeaten season and a BCS national title, Miles has been voted The Associated Press Coach of the Year. Thirty of 56 votes cast went to Miles. Bill Snyder of Kansas State was second with 16, Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State had six, Brady Hoke of Michigan got three and Lane Kiffin of Southern California had one. As Miles reflected on the various trials he dealt with this season in an interview with the AP this week, he spoke in a hushed tone and recounted a talk he had long ago with his father in the kitchen of his childhood home. When Miles was around 12 years old, he See COACH, Page 5B

Ohio State is penalized

Buckeyes banned from bowls in 2012 and have scholarship numbers reduced. By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer’s first Ohio State team won’t be bowl-bound. The NCAA hit Ohio State with a one-year bowl ban and other penalties on Tuesday for a scandal that involved eight players taking a total of $14,000 in cash and tattoos in exchange for jerseys, rings and other Buckeyes memorabilia. Tipped to the violations, thencoach Jim Tressel failed to speak up. The university had previously offered to vacate the 2010 season, return bowl money, go on two years of NCAA probation and use five fewer football scholarships over the next three years. But the NCAA countered with a bowl ban in Meyer’s first year as head coach in 2012, further reduced the number of scholarships See OSU, Page 5B

Power outages ignite talk of 49ers’ move By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The blackouts that left Candlestick Park in the gloom during a much-anticipated Monday Night Football matchup also dimmed the spotlight that would have otherwise been shining on the 49ers after their 20-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rather than focusing on the team’s success, talk turned Tuesday to the many failings of the 51-year-old stadium and the 49ers’ plan to move outside of the city limits and build a new stadium in nearby Santa Clara. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee called the incident a “national embarrassment.” The outages even gave the hated

cross-town rivals an opportunity to be magnanimous. The Oakland Raiders told the 49ers and the NFL they were prepared to make their stadium available to finish the game Monday night — or whenever they may have deemed appropriate. The San Francisco Police Department said it never discussed evacuating the sold-out stadium even though the blackouts conjured nationally televised images of World Series fans streaming out of Candlestick immediately after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. “Any decision to end the game would’ve come from the NFL,” said Sgt. Mike Andraychak. He said officers were investigating an unrelated bomb threat

when the first blackout occurred at 5:20 PST, delaying the start of the game. He said three people who ran onto the field during the second blackout were arrested. There were also a handful of public intoxication and battery arrests that are usual for games. In the end, the NFL let the game play on at Candlestick Monday night. But the questions over the 49ers’ future home intensified. For the immediate future, the NFL and 49ers say they are confident the problem won’t recur and that CandlesAP PHOTO tick can host a playoff game next month. “We’re not concerned,” said 49ers The Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers wait on the field during a See POWER, Page 4B

MAJOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL

No. 1 Syracuse beats Bucknell into 25 turnovers, 18 of which were steals. The Knights also shot just 28 percent from the field.

The Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Kris Joseph had 17 points, Scoop Jardine added 14 and No. 1 Syracuse cruised past Bucknell 80-61 on Tuesday night. The Orange (12-0), who retained the No. 1 ranking for the second straight week after an 88-72 road win over North Carolina State on Saturday, won their 30th straight nonconference home game. It was only the second time Bucknell (7-5) has played the No. 1 team in the nation. The Bison lost to Duke, 84-50, on Jan. 2, 2006. Bucknell entered the game 1-8 against Syracuse, but that lone win, a 74-69 triumph over the 17th-ranked Orange, came in the Bison’s last visit to the Carrier Dome in November 2005.

Purdue 81, IPFW 56

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Anthony Johnson and D.J. Byrd each scored 11 points to help Purdue defeat IPFW. Robbie Hummel added 10 points and a season-high 10 rebounds for his first doubledouble of the year. Kelsey Barlow, Lewis Jackson and Ryne Smith also had 10 points apiece for the Boilermakers (10-3). Purdue bounced back from a last-second loss to Butler on Saturday and increased its home winning streak to 25 games. The Boilermakers made 9 of 12 free throws, an improvement over their previous 63 percent shooting. Joe Edwards scored 12 points and Trey McCorkle added 10 for IPFW (7-4), which had won five straight. Frank Gaines, who entered the game averaging 21.4 points, finished with nine on 2 for 11 shooting. Purdue shot 53 percent from the field and held the Mastodons to 34 percent shooting. The Boilermakers never trailed, and their largest lead was 34 points.

Kentucky 82, Samford 50

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Doron Lamb scored 26 points and Darius Miller added 17 to lead No. 3 Kentucky in a rout over Samford to extend the Wildcats’ home winning streak to 41 games. Kentucky (10-1) played without Terrence Jones, who missed the first game in his collegiate career after dislocating the pinky on his left, shooting hand on Saturday. The Wildcats hardly missed a beat early against Samford (3-7) without him, scoring the first 11 points of the game, pushing the lead to 45-22 at halftime and by as many as 34 late. Drew Windler and Tyler Hood scored 11 points apiece for the Bulldogs. Pittsburgh 71, St. Francis (Pa.) 47

PITTSBURGH — J.J. Moore scored 15 points, Dante Taylor added 14 points and eight rebounds as No. 15 Pittsburgh crushed St. Francis (Pa.) 71-45 on Tuesday night. The Panthers (11-1) won their ninth straight by holding the Red Flash (3-8) to 35 percent shooting and continuing their dominance on the glass. Pitt came in leading the nation in rebounding margin — grabbing 12 more a game than the opponent — and added to those numbers by outrebounding St. Francis 42-21.

Malkin has 3 assists in Penguins’ victory The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin had three assists to move into a tie for the NHL scoring lead and the Pittsburgh Penguins snapped the Chicago Blackhawks’ five-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. Malkin assisted on goals by Chris Kunitz, James Neal and Tyler Kennedy, giving him points in all six games since Penguins captain Sidney Crosby left the lineup again because of concussion symptoms. Malkin has six goals and nine assists in that stretch in which the Penguins lost three of the first four before Malkin had a hat trick in an 8-3 victory over Buffalo on Saturday. Jonathan Toews and Viktor Stalberg had third-period goals for Chicago (21-9-4), which entered with the most points in the NHL. The Blackhawks had won five straight on the road. Coming off a career hightying five-point game, Malkin matched the season high for assists he set Saturday. During a first-period power play, Malkin slid a deft pass to Kunitz to spring him into the Blackhawks’ zone. Kunitz beat goalie Ray Emery between the pads to score for the third straight game, netting his 12th of the season. The power play resulted from an instigating penalty given to John Scott, who reacted after Deryk Engelland led with his forearm in delivering a hit to Marcus Kruger’s head. Kruger played the remainder of the period but didn’t play after that. Engelland wasn’t penalized. Malkin set up Neal for his 19th of the season — 13th at home — 2:45 into the second. Neal has a six-game point streak. Defenseman Matt Niskanen assisted on each the game’s first two goals of the game to give him 100 career points and nine points in eight games. Kennedy made it 3-0 with 3:27 left in the second with his fourth of the season and first since Nov. 25 off a nifty setup from defenseman Ben Lovejoy, who played his first game since Nov. 3 due to a broken wrist. The Penguins were 11-0-2 when leading after two periods, but the Blackhawks had rallied for at least a point in five of 13 games they trailed heading into the third. Rangers 4, Devils 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Marian Gaborik snapped a third-period tie with the first of his two goals and then sealed New

York’s win with an empty-netter as the Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils. Gaborik, who reached 600 NHL points with his first goal, also helped set up Artem Anisimov’s second-period tally that tied the game 1-1. New York (20-9-4) won its second straight and broke the Devils’ four-game winning streak in the first of six meetings between Atlantic Division rivals. Anisimov also had an assist, Carl Hagelin added a shorthanded goal, and Derek Stepan chipped in two assists for the Rangers. Travis Zajac’s first goal of the season gave the Devils a 1-0 lead in the first period. Capitals 4, Predators 1 WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom scored first period goals, Alexander Semin added a thirdperiod goal, and Michal Neuvirth stopped 20 shots as the Washington Capitals beat the Nashville Predators. Nashville lost for the first time in six games, and for the first time in 11 contests, had a game decided by more than one goal. The quirky 10-game streak was two shy of an NHL record, according to STATS LLC. Washington improved to 5-5 under new coach Dale Hunter. The Capitals are 6-1 in their last seven games against the Predators. Senators 4, Sabres 1 OTTAWA — Erik Condra combined with newly acquired Ottawa center Kyle Turris on the first of Condra’s two goals and lifted the Senators on to a win over the Buffalo Sabres. Turris, acquired from Phoenix on Saturday, forced a turnover in the neutral zone as Condra raced in with the puck. He dropped a pass to Turris, whose shot from the right side was stopped by goalie Ryan Miller. Turris batted the rebound across to Condra, who put the puck into the open net to give Ottawa its second lead. Coyotes 2, Panthers 1 SUNRISE, Fla. — Radim Vrbata and Ray Whitney scored goals to lift the Phoenix Coyotes to a victory over the Florida Panthers. The Coyotes won for just the second time in six games. Mike Smith stopped 19 shots before leaving with 16:31 left in the third period because of a non-contact injury. Jason LaBarbera relieved Smith and made six saves, including one on a penalty shot.

Cato’s 2 TD passes lead Marshall past FIU The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rakeem Cato threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns to help Marshall beat Florida International 20-10 in the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl on Tuesday night. Tyler Warner kicked a pair of field goals and Cato threw TD passes of 31 and 35 yards to Aaron Dobson, the latter putting the game away in the closing seconds. Warner’s 39-yard field goal

set up by a blocked punt snapped a 10-10 tie with 5:16 remaining. Marshall (7-6) overcame a slow start to win five of its last seven games and avoid a losing record in its second season under coach Doc Holliday. FIU (8-5) was denied a schoolrecord ninth victory amid speculation that coach Mario Cristobal may be a leading candidate to fill a job opening at Pittsburgh.

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles should ditch those pregame “Rocky” videos for another Sylvester Stallone movie that sums up their season. Given up for dead just a few weeks ago along with several other teams, the underachieving Eagles are somehow still in the NFL playoff race. So instead of showing inspirational clips of Rocky Balboa fighting Apollo Creed, maybe it would be more fitting to have a video montage from the “Saturday Night Fever” sequel directed by Stallone, “Staying Alive.” With two weeks left in the regular season, 15 teams are in the hunt for the five remaining playoff spots. There are seven teams battling for two openings in the AFC and eight teams in contention for three berths in the NFC. Four division titles are still up for grabs. The wackiest races are in the AFC West and NFC East, where 8-8 might be enough to win either division. Green Bay, San Francisco, New Orleans, New England, Houston, Baltimore and Pittsburgh have clinched playoff spots. Dallas (8-6), Atlanta (9-5), Detroit (9-5), Denver (8-6) and the New York Jets (8-6) and Giants (7-7) control their own destiny. Philadelphia (6-8), Chicago (7-7), Arizona (7-7), Seattle (7-7), Tennessee (7-7), Cincinnati (7-7), Oakland (7-7), San Diego (7-7) and Kansas City (6-8) all need to win and get help to play beyond New Year’s Day. The fact that the Eagles haven’t been mathematically eliminated yet is perhaps most surprising. A team that many picked to reach the Super Bowl started 1-4 and was 4-8 following consecutive lopsided losses to the Patriots and Seahawks. But two straight wins over Miami and the Jets coupled with losses by Dallas and the Giants kept Philadelphia alive. Now it wouldn’t even take big upsets for the Eagles to win the NFC Least, er, East. First, the Jets have to beat the Giants in the battle of North Jersey on Saturday. Then, later that afternoon, the Eagles must beat Dallas. The Jets are 3-point favorites over the Giants. The Eagles are just 3-point underdogs, and they whipped the Cowboys 34-7 on Oct. 30. If that happens, the Eagles would win the division for the second straight year if they beat Washington at home on Jan. 1 and the Giants beat Dallas in the Meadowlands. The Giants already defeated the Cowboys on the road last week. “You can’t control all that,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “The thing you can control is going out there (Tuesday) and practicing, and Wednesday practicing, and Thursday practicing, and Friday, and playing the game. Those are the things that you can control. So take care of that business. I tell myself the same thing, take care of that business, don’t worry about the other things. Take care of what you can control.”

Former PSU players show support for JoePa By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — More than 340 players once coached by Joe Paterno have shown support for their former Penn State coach through a letter released in time for his 85th birthday Wednesday. Hall of Famer Lydell Mitchell, a standout Nittany Lions running back from1969-71, helped organize the effort and hoped to get more signatures in the coming days. It’s believed to be the largest such effort by former players since school trustees fired Paterno last

cards for Joe at the house & realized I’d better get him one before tomorrow,” son Jay Paterno, the quarterbacks coach, posted Tuesday on Twitter. A six-person search committee headed by acting athletic director David Joyner was named Nov. 28. School president Rodney Erickson has said he hoped to have Paterno’s replacement in place before No. 24 Penn State plays No. 20 Houston in the TicketCity Bowl on Jan. 2 in Dallas. Speculation has swirled for weeks on potential candidates. Bradley has confirmed he wants to remove the “interim” tag from his title after saying at the team’s bowl media day Monday that he interviewed on Friday. A person familiar with the search process said Tuesday that defensive line coach Larry Johnson has also interviewed. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported Friday about Johnson’s interview. The person confirming the report to The Associated Press requested anonymity because no one was authorized to speak about the search. Joyner hasn’t spoken publicly, but has said in an interview conducted by Penn State athletics posted on the department’s website last week that the school was being “very methodical and precise” about the search. “We may be conducting our search a little different than other people,” Joyn-

was worried about his dad, Hope “Bubba” Miles, who’d been passed over for a promotion and subsequently laid off, all while dealing with the death of his own father. “We’ll be fine,” the LSU coach recalled his father telling him. “It’s the reaction to the difficult times; it’s always those days when something does not come your way and you have to make the best move — that’s what’s going to make your life rich.” However LSU’s season ends in the BCS title game against No. 2 Alabama on Jan. 9 in the Superdome, it will go down as one of the more memorable chapters in the history of Louisiana’s most storied college football program. The events that could have derailed the 2011 campaign were numerous and diverse, yet the Tigers dominated just about every team they faced.

and tacked on a year of probation. “It is still my goal to hire excellent coaches, recruit great student-athletes who want to be a part of this program and to win on and off the field,” Meyer said in a statement. The stiffer penalties — including a finding of a “failure to monitor” of Ohio State’s athletic programs — came because of additional problems which followed the tattoo-related violations revealed a year ago, almost to the day. It was a sobering blow to Ohio State and athletic director Gene Smith, who through a lengthy NCAA investigation had maintained there was no way the Buckeyes would be banned from a bowl game. “We are surprised and disappointed with the NCAA’s decision,” Smith said in a statement. “However, we have decided not to appeal the decision because we need to move forward as an institution. We recognize that

month in the aftermath of child sexabuse charges against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Since then, Paterno has been diagnosed with what his family has called a treatable form of lung cancer. He is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. “He is not aware of (the letter),” Mitchell said Tuesday night in a phone interview. “It is so important that he keeps his health up and stays strong ... We’re in the fight with him.” Paterno, like Mitchell is in the College Football Hall of Fame. The letter posted online addressed

from “The Penn State Football Family” is entitled “We Stand in Support of Joe and Penn State.” Besides Mitchell, other notable signees include Greg Buttle, Shane Conlan, LaVar Arrington and KiJana Carter. “As members of the Penn State community, we are deeply saddened by the allegations against Jerry Sandusky, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Given the allegations against Sandusky, we understand the public’s outrage because we share it,” the letter begins.

er said. Still, it’s a precarious time for a search given its less than two months from the date when high school seniors can formally announce their intentions to play college ball. And Penn State already had its own challenge even before the scandal given longstanding rumors of Paterno’s impending retirement. Paterno stressed to prospects to consider the campus as a whole, including the program’s academic success, a message his assistants continue to use now. Bradley said the coaching uncertainty has affected the team’s recruiting “a little bit,” especially now since the recruiting calendar has flipped over into a period of limited contact. But Bradley did share part of his pitch to recruits when he did speak to them. “This place is not going to change,” Bradley said Monday. “We have great facilities, great support and great academics. We have a lot of great things going for us that have nothing to do with the head coach.” Some critics have said Penn State’s next coach shouldn’t have any ties with the program, though Erickson has maintained the search is “wide open.” Among those with NFL connections, former Steelers coach Bill Cowher and ex-Colts coach Tony Dungy have both said they have no interest in leaving their current positions as TV analysts. Nebraska’s Bo Pelini was the latest name to emerge on the seemingly endless rumored list of potential collegelevel prospects. “First of all, the irresponsible reports

that are going on out there aren’t true. I haven’t interviewed for Penn State. I’m not saying any more on that,” Pelini said after practice Tuesday in Lincoln. Asked if he wanted to affirm his commitment to the Cornhuskers given recent rumors, Pelini said, “I’m not addressing every single situation. I mean, I don’t do it. I shouldn’t have to do it.” Players are just as anxious as fans to find out who might be the next coach. The team is scheduled to practice through Wednesday before taking a break for the Christmas holiday. They are slated to regroup Dec. 26 in Dallas. As of Monday, about 3,000 of the school’s reported allotment of 6,500 tickets had been sold, according to associate athletic director Greg Myford. He said it was difficult to characterize sales as slow given the school had no previous comparisons — the TicketCity Bowl is a new destination for Penn State. Praising the bowl officials and Dallas, Myford said that “While total advance sales numbers are short of what we might normally see for a Penn State bowl, we need to be honest and acknowledge that this is anything but a normal year.” Bowl executive director Tom Starr said Tuesday they hoped to draw 45,000 fans to the 92,000-seat Cotton Bowl, where the game is played. He was optimistic that Penn State could draw from a roughly 9,000-member alumni and fan club based in Texas, and that the game could attract many of the 8,000 Houston alumni in the DallasFort Worth area.

There was a preseason bar fight that led to starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson’s early season suspension. There was preseason coaching shuffle brought on by former offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe’s Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. Starting receiver Russell Shepard was suspended three games because he talked out of turn about an NCAA probe of a scouting service. Then there were the midseason, onegame suspensions of three key players — star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, starting running back Spencer Ware and nickel back Tharold Simon — for failing school administered drug tests. Through it all, the Tigers won big, starting with a season-opening 13-point triumph over then No. 3 Oregon on a neutral field in Dallas, barely more than a week after learning they’d be without Jefferson or Shepard. Of their 13 victories, 12 have come by double digits and seven by 30 or more points. The lone exception was a tense 9-6 overtime triumph at Alabama high-

lighted by spectacular defensive plays. LSU won its first eight games with pocket passer Jarrett Lee taking most of the snaps, and the rest with Jefferson getting the bulk of the work, often running option plays. Miles said he was proud of his staff for being adaptable enough to design game plans around different styles of quarterbacks, and proud of his players for their “noexcuses” approach to every game. “They didn’t see (the suspensions) as something they could not overcome in any way,” Miles said. “They recognized that we’ve got two veteran quarterbacks and some guys that can step in for anybody if they happen to miss their start, and that we were not going to let those things that were on the perimeter of this program affect us.” Miles and LSU entered 2011 sensing they would be among the best in the nation following an 11-2 2010 campaign capped by a dominant Cotton Bowl victory.

this is a challenging time in intercollegiate athletics. Institutions of higher education must move to higher ground, and Ohio State embraces its leadership responsibilities and affirms its long-standing commitment to excellence in education and integrity in all it does.” As shocking as the Ohio State case was when it broke, it has since been overshadowed by three other scandals in college sports. Former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with more than 50 criminal counts related to child sex abuse, an ex-Syracuse basketball assistant coach was fired after being accused of fondling boys and young men, and a University of Miami booster caught masterminding a Ponzi scheme claimed he provided money, cars and even prostitutes to Hurricanes athletes. Ohio State might have done better in its meetings with the NCAA but, after the initial tattoo scandal, the school and the NCAA discovered two additional problems. Three players were suspended just before the start of the season for accepting $200 from booster Bobby DiGeroni-

mo, and midway through the Buckeyes’ 6-6 season it was revealed that several players had been paid too much for too little work on summer jobs — supplied by the same booster. He has been disassociated from the program. Tressel, forced out in the wake of the scandal, was hit with a five-year “show-cause” order which all but prevents him from being a college coach during that time. “Of great concern to the committee was the fact that the former head coach became aware of these violations and decided not to report the violations,” the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions wrote in its report. Greg Sankey, associate commissioner of the Southeastern Conference and a committee member, said in a teleconference that Tressel’s failure to act was, “considered very serious and, frankly, very disappointing.” Tressel is now on the staff of the Indianapolis Colts as a videoreview coordinator. Under a show-cause order, any school that hired Tressel would have to present its case for why it needed to employ him.

WBS PENGUINS

Strait overcomes injury

WBS defenseman is ready to go after being sidelined for nearly three months. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

This season Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins defenseman Brian Strait experienced something for the first time in his career: an injury that forced him out of the lineup for an extended period. Strait, 23, suffered a hyperextended left elbow on Oct. 18 during his first game of the season with Pittsburgh. The timing couldn’t have been worse. After a strong training camp with Pittsburgh, Strait began the season with Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton and went on a tear. He posted a goal and four points in his first five games before being summoned to Pittsburgh. But the stretch came to an abrupt when, playing in the fourth NHL game of his career and first this season, Strait injured his elbow and wasn’t able to finish the game. For the next two-and-a-half months, Strait watched while the Pittsburgh defense was devastated with injuries, creating opportunities for playing time for other blueliners in the system. He missed the next 25 games before being reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last weekend, where he saw his first action in Monday’s contest against Albany.

Roster moves The Penguins made several roster moves on Tuesday. Forward Chris Barton and defenseman Peter Merth were returned to Wheeling while defenseman Dan Henningson will head back to the Chicago Express (ECHL). The reigning ECHL Rookie of the Month, Barton was held scoreless in three appearances with the Penguins. The 24-year old native of Calgary has registered 26 points (15 goals, 11aassists) over 21 games during his rookie season with the Nailers. Merth appeared in four games with the Penguins and had an assist and was a plus-3. Henningson also had an assist in five games with the Penguins and was a plus-2.

“It was tough,” Strait said of the missed opportunity to log some NHL games. “But there’s nothing you can do. You just have to concentrate on the future and progress now, get my game back and help this team win and help Pittsburgh win.” Dating back to his college career in 2006 with Boston University, the most time Strait ever missed in a season was a few weeks due to a strained MCL. During his first two years as a pro from 2009 to 2011, Strait played in 78 games each season, including three last year with Pittsburgh. Missing almost three months wasn’t easy. “It was a long time,” Strait said. “It’s definitely different. At this point in the season every-

one’s going and you’re kind of playing catch up.” Strait made it through his first game action on Monday unscathed. He played a regular shift and tested the elbow by not shying away from contact. It was a good first test, both physically and mentally. “I was a little hesitant, a little nervous at first. I felt it a little bit,” Strait said. “But it was nothing serious and everything went away. “I think the fact I went through a game and came out healthy, mindset wise it was good that way. I know my arm isn’t made of glass and it’s not going to fall apart.” Strait’s game didn’t fall apart either during the long layoff. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach John Hynes said Strait looked confident on Monday. “He made some good decisions with the puck and in the harder areas of the game he looked pretty good,” Hynes said. The Penguins went on a sixday Christmas break beginning Tuesday, but Strait has had enough with being away. He’s going to spend the week skating and sharpening up his game because, as Strait sees it, there is at least one advantage that resulted from the injury. “The season wears on you and I’m going to be playing 50 games or so this year, so I might have a little more jump,” he said. “You have to take the positives and try to block out the negatives and move forward.”

There are adjustments to make as Dennis Mishko and John Bucci go from being college and high school coaches to guiding the new Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Steamers. Mishko and Bucci, the cocoaches, need to make sure the Steamers players who are fresh out of college prepare along with them for the Premier Basketball League’s use of NBA rules, such as the defensive 3-second call. The 24-second clock, however, is not expected to present a problem. “The 24-second clock when I coached at (Bishop) Hannan never would have been an issue,” said Bucci, who serves as general manager of the team that debuts in Rochester, N.Y., on New Year’s Eve and plays its home opener Jan. 6 at the Lackawanna College Student Union. “It never would have been an issue for Dennis at Keystone.” Bucci’s Bishop Hannan teams won a state title and played in two other state championship games. He was named Associated Press Small School Coach of the Year after his 2002 championship. Mishko led Keystone College to a 520-160 record and two national tournament appearances in 25 years.

Both led teams that were known for their up-tempo style. “It’s interesting running practice with that clock running all the time,” Mishko said. “We have five basic sets. You have about eight seconds to get up court and get into the offense. Then, you have 14-16 seconds left. You need to get into it quickly. “The first pass may not be for a shot, but your second or third better be.” Mishko said there is no sense building a “continuity offense” that teams run over and over to work through for shots. The Steamers practiced twice-a-day throughout the week before taking a holiday break. The team has 11 players on the roster and can still add one more before the opener. “It’s pretty neat,” Mishko said. “The learning curve is tremendous. Some of the kids are right out of college.” Bucci emphasized that unlike past semi-pro basketball ventures in the area, the PBL is a professional league in which the players settle into their host city for 3½ months, practicing together all week, rather than gathering for weekend games. “People think of semi-professional where they have another job,” Bucci said. “That’s not what this is. These guys came here from all over the country to play basketball. It’s a true professional league.” The Steamers do have one local player in point guard Ste-

phon Draper, who went from Scranton High School and Lackawanna College to Division II Shippensburg University. Draper is one of four players from Pennsylvania colleges. Rob Robinson, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Robert Morris, is one of the early bright spots. Jabril Bailey is a forward from Slippery Rock and Daniel Miller is a swingman from Eastern University. Chris Commons, who the team drafted out of South Carolina-Aiken, was impressive in the first intrasquad scrimmage, according to Bucci. Draper, point guard Brandon Tunnell from Hampton University and guard Tyler Bullock from Nebraska-Omaha also got off to strong starts in training camp. Tunnell is one of two guards from Hampton. The other is Vincent Simpson. The rest of the roster is: swingman Darrion Griffin from Jackson State; forward Nemanja Jokic from C.W. Post; and post player K.C. Robbins from Illinois-Chicago. The Steamers will compete in the Eastern Conference with the Charleston Gunners, Dayton Air Strikes, Lake Michigan Admirals and Rochester RazorSharks, their opponent in the first two games. The Central Conference features the Central Illinois Drive, Chicago Muscle, Indiana Diesels, Northwest Indiana Stars, Sauk Valley Predators and St. Louis Phoenix.

Sex-for-tickets conviction overturned The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — An appeals court has overturned the attempted prostitution conviction of a Philadelphia woman who was accused of offering sexual favors for World Series tickets. Authorities had alleged that Susan Finkelstein posted a racy online ad, then met with an undercover Bensalem police officer in October 2009 and offered to perform sexual acts in exchange for tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees.

Finkelstein acknowledged placing a “goofy” ad on Craigslist and hoping to use her “feminine wiles” to get tickets, but denied offering favors and said she wasn’t a prostitute. At trial last year, Finkelstein was acquitted of prostitution but convicted of attempted prostitution. The state Superior Court ruled Tuesday that since Finkelstein was cleared of the more serious prostitution count, she could not be convicted of attempt because the proof required to sustain both charges

was the same. Also, the court noted, Finkelstein was not engaged in “sexual activity as a business” and said the crime of prostitution was not intended to “criminalize private illicit sexual relations.” Finkelstein’s attorney, William Brennan, said his client was elated by the decision. Stephen Harris, chief of appeals for the Bucks County district attorney, said prosecutors disagree with the court’s reasoning but that no decision has been made on whether to appeal.

Wyoming Seminary graduate Jacob Baker is having a strong freshman season for Marist College.

Baker makes splash at Marist

It didn’t take Jacob Baker long to make a name for himself with the Marist College men’s swim team. Freshman Baker, from Shavertown (Wyoming Seminary), and sophomore Sean Molloy have formed a solid one-two punch on the diving team. In every meet thus far, Baker or Molloy has finished first with the other right behind. Baker captured the 3-meter dive with a season-best total of 238.30 at the Hounds Invitational in Baltimore, Md. The total was ninth best in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference this season, second best by a freshman. Molloy won the 1meter and Baker was second (225.70). In a league match against Canisius, Baker captured the 1-meter with 256.12 points which is sixth best in the MAAC this season, best by a freshman. He was named MAAC Diver of the Week for his effort. “Jacob has been a very pleasant surprise,” said diving coach Melanie Bolstad, who recruited Baker. “He has a great work ethic and he’s definitely a diamond in the rough.” Baker has been spending a lot of time in the weight room and learning new dives in practice. “We want him to gain strength and learn harder dives,” Bolstad said. “The 3meter is new to him, so the degree of difficulty is important.” Bolstad believes Baker has the ability to be a standout diver with his strong points jumping, spinning and twisting. “Jacob is an eager learner,” the coach said. “I’m looking forward to working with him the next four years.” The Red Foxes return to action in a non-league meet with Lehigh on Jan. 7 in Bethlehem. YAGLOSKI MAY BE NEXT – The Johns Hopkins wrestling team has an NCAA All-American wall that has a sign on it which asks “Who’s next?” Wrestling coach Keith Norris feels that sophomore Ray Yagloski (Tunkhannock) has a good chance to get his name on the list before he graduates. Yagloski had a solid freshman season with the Blue Jays, posting a 22-13 record at 125 pounds and finishing third in the Centennial Conference Championship. This season, wrestling mostly at 133, he’s 10-6 with four pins, with the fastest fall coming in 1:31. “Ray came back to campus bigger and stronger this year,” Norris said. “He continues to improve in all aspects of his wrestling. I expect Ray to be my starting 133 pounder and help the team improve its secondplace finish in the league championship. I believe we will see Ray Yagloski written on the All-American wall before his career is over.”

ON CAMPUS BILL ARSENAULT RAVA MORE VERSATILE – As a freshman, Kacee Rava (Coughlin) finished second on the Baptist Bible women’s basketball team in scoring with a 16.4 average. She also led the Defenders in rebounding (11.2) and blocked shots (23). This season, the 6-foot-2 center is third in scoring (12.6), first in rebounds (8.9) with seven blocked shots. She also has 10 steals and seven assists. “Kacee committed herself over the off-season to working out and improving her skills,” coach Amber Jacobs said. “It is showing this season. She is certainly an asset to our team in the inside and she is developing more versatility in her game with moves and reading the defense.” Because Rava is a force inside, opponents are starting to double team her making it tough for her to get more involved with the offense. Still, she had 23 points and 12 rebounds in a 79-61 victory over Susquehanna, 17 points and nine rebounds in an 84-64 triumph over Cedar Crest and 15 points and 13 rebounds in a 68-58 victory over Drew. “If they double team her I expect her to get a lot of ‘garbage points’ off missed shots,” the coach said. “Kacee is a force both offensively and defensively on the boards and she is a great defender and does a great job helping to change shooters shots coming into the lane.” The Defenders are 6-3 overall and 3-0 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. MARTIN SEEING ACTION – Freshman Samantha Martin (Dallas) has played in all 10 games off the bench for the 3-7 Albright women’s basketball team. The 5-foot-8 guard is averaging 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.3 minutes of action a game, but she recently had six points and three rebounds in a 63-57 victory over Cabrini, 6 points and five rebounds in an 85-57 triumph over PSU-Berks and seven points and five rebounds in a 72-41 triumph over Mitchell. “Samantha is a true team player,” coach Janice Luck said. “She provides consistency for us off the bench. She is the type of player that does all of the little things and she’s a pleasure to coach.” Martin was a shooting guard at Dallas but is playing guard/ small forward for the Lions. “She has picked it up faster than expected,” Luck said. “She is a hard worker and it shows when she’s on the court.” Allison Hardwick (Dallas) is also a freshman on the squad but has played in just one game to date.

“Allison had an early injury that held her out for over a month,” Luck said. “She has lots of potential and we are Baker excited to see her grow as a player over the next few months.” HONORS FOR BOGIMIL – The Rhode Island football team had its awards banquet last weekend and senior lineman Kyle Bogumil (Crestwood) walked away with a pair of honors. Bogumil was presented with the Bob Griffin Award and the Captains Award. The Griffin Award is given to a member of the team who displays high character and exemplary leadership skills. Bogumil, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound left guard on offense wrapped up his career with the Rams by starting 33 straight games. Rhode Island was 3-8 this season. MCDANIELS LEARNING THE ROPES – Freshman Janelle McDaniels (Wyoming Valley West) is competing and scoring points in the 50 freestyle, the 100 and 200 breaststroke and with three relay teams for the Gannon women’s swim team. “Janelle’s transition to college swimming was one that surprised even her,” coach Nathan Walters said. “She came in from a smaller program and was used to being the anchor leg to a place where she realizes that every yard of every day of training is important and she, along with the rest of her teammates, are in constant competition with each other.” McDaniels has already earned a spot in the PSAC Championship in the 100 breaststroke along with a couple of relays. “Despite the fact that it has taken some time for Janelle to adjust to everything – class schedule and the difficulty of practice – she has done a very nice job of being coachable,” Walters said. “The experiences she is gaining in meets and in practice will prove vital come championship season.” MCGUINESS NAMED – Scranton sophomore Bill McGuiness (Wyoming Valley West) was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Mid-Atlantic third team. The 5-foot-9 junior (sophomore eligibility) earlier was named to the Landmark Conference first team. He played in just 10 of 17 games and started six but scored two goals and had three assists for the Royals, who finished 6-8-3 overall and 3-3-1 in league play. All of his goals and assists came in games Scranton either won or tied. A transfer from Villanova, he was a second-team All-Landmark choice as a freshman.

Home building rise suggests turning point

COUNTING ON CHRISTMAS

B R I E F

U.S. markets gain 3% United States stock markets surged 3 percent Tuesday following encouraging signs out of Europe and a jump in apartment construction in the U.S. It was the best day for U.S. stocks this month. The Spanish government pulled off a successful debt auction Tuesday and gauges of business and consumer confidence in Germany increased. Both helped ease worries about Europe’s debt crisis. Only six stocks on the S&P 500 index fell. Trading volume was light at 3.8 billion.

By DEREK KRAVITZ AP Real Estate Writer

WASHINGTON — A surge in apartment construction gave home builders more work in November. And permits, a gauge of future construction, rose largely because of a jump in apartment permits. Some analysts say the gains, though coming off extremely low levels, suggest the depressed housing industry may have reached a turning point. Economists now say 2011 will be the first year since the Great Recession began in 2007 that home construction will have helped the economy grow. Before this year, the industry endured two of the worst years ever. “Homebuilding is through the worst and is now steadily improving,” said Paul Diggle, a property economist at Capital Economics. Builders broke ground on a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 685,000 homes in November, a 9.3 percent jump from October, the government said Tuesday. It’s the highest level since April 2010. Still, the rate is far below the 1.2 million homes that economists say would be built each year in a healthy housing market. Construction of single-family homes rose 2.3 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 447,000. Apartment construction jumped 32 percent to a rate of 238,000 units. Singlefamily homes historically account for about 70 percent of homebuilding. For the year, work is expected to have begun on 430,000 single-family homes and 185,000 apartments. Those figures remain far below the roughly 840,000 single-family homes and 360,000 apartments that would be started in a healthy economy. Patrick Newport and Michelle Valverde, U.S. economists at IHS Global Insight, said the better-than-expected figures show that the housing industry is “finally getting off the mat.” Permits rose 5.7 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 681,000, boosted by a 16 percent jump in permits for apartment buildings, to 246,000.

State unemployment falls Unemployment rates fell in 43 states in November, the highest number of states to report such declines in eight years. The falling state rates reflect the brightening jobs picture nationally. The U.S. unemployment rate fell sharply in November to 8.6 percent, the lowest since March 2009. The economy has generated 100,000 or more jobs five months in a row — the first time that’s happened since 2006, before the Great Recession. Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in November, down from 8.1 percent in October.

Shoppers return to stores Sales at stores opened at least a year rose 3.4 percent for the week ended Saturday compared with the previous week, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index, released Tuesday. That follows two consecutive weekly declines, compared with the previous weeks, as shoppers took a break after a discount-fueled spending spree over the Thanksgiving weekend, the official start of the holiday shopping season.

Stanford now competent A forensic psychologist testified Tuesday that jailed Texas financier R. Allen Stanford is mentally stable and competent to be tried next month on charges he bilked investors out of $7 billion in a massive Ponzi scheme Stanford had been declared incompetent in January due to an addiction to an anti-anxiety drug he developed while jailed in Houston. He spent more than eight months being treated at a federal prison hospital in Butner, N.C.

Holiday season flying to fall slightly this year, trade group says percent decline from a year earlier. That works out to about 20,000 fewer people per day. The trade group attributes the decline to “lingering economic concerns” and high energy prices that are limiting would-be travelers’ disposable income. About 1.6 million to 2.3 million people are forecast to fly each day between Wednesday and the first week of January.

Today’s wet weather is a consequence of being on the warm side of the same storm that brought blizzard conditions to the Midwest earlier this week. As temperatures rise into the 40s, the rain will persist into the afternoon, then come to an end early tonight. Rainfall will be 3to 6-tenths of an inch. On Thursday, the ﬁrst day of winter, readings will once again rise well into the 40s with some sunshine. Expect more rain Thursday night into Friday morning that might change to snow. The amounts should be relatively light. The weather looks dry Saturday, but there remains a chance for snow by Sunday night. - Tom Clark

Beautiful frosted cake for Christmas

With the rush of the holiday season upon us, we have two easy yet festive appetizers sure to wow your holiday guests. Neither needs to be cooked, except for the baking or deep-frying of the prosciutto in the Fresh Mozzarella Stack, which will cut down on your kitchen time and allow you to enjoy your guests. •••

CRAB APPLE MARTINI 6 martini glasses, chilled in the freezer 1-pound can of jumbo lump crab 2 cups mixed field greens 1 and 1/2 cups chopped apples (approximate) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 apple, thinly sliced Apple Vinaigrette - see below

By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

When we started dreaming up ideas for holiday cakes, we knew we wanted three things: warm spices, sweet-tart fruit and a moist crumb. This holiday cranberry-pear layer cake delivers. We combined ginger, cinnamon and cardamom for rich, warm flavors that not only are baked into the cake but are repeated in the thick cream cheese frosting slathered over it. To balance those spices, we turned to fruit. Dried cranberries are in the cake, while grated orange zest is added to the frosting. Additional strips of orange zest can be scattered over the top for a marmaladelike contrast to the creamy frosting. ••• CRANBERRY PEAR CAKE Start to finish: 1 hour (plus cooling) Servings: 16 For the cake: 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 3 pears (or one 28-ounce can pear halves, drained), finely chopped (2 cups total) 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups chopped dried cranberries For the frosting: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups powdered sugar Zest of 1 orange 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese Strips of orange zest (optional) Dried cranberries, to decorate (optional) Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with baking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, butter, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla until creamy smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl between additions. Add the pears and flour and mix until combined. Stir in the cranberries. Divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted at the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely. When the cake is completely cooled, make the frosting. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, orange zest, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon until creamy smooth. Add the cream cheese and mix until completely incorporated. To assemble the cake, place 1 cake on a serving plate, spread about 3/4 cup of the frosting evenly over the top of it. Place the second cake over it. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, swirling the frosting. Decorate with strips of orange zest and dried cranberries, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Divide the field greens among the six chilled martini glasses. Divide the jumbo lump crab into six portions and top the field-green mixture with the jumbo lump crab. Top each martini with two heaping tablespoons of chopped apples. Top each martini with two or three tablespoons of the prepared vinaigrette to taste. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Fan out a few apple slices along edge of martini glass. Serve immediately.

••• FRESH MOZZARELLA STACK

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

For The Associated Press

he key to a great holiday party is a relaxed host. And that is easier than it sounds. All it takes is a little planning. When I entertain, I make sure all the food can be prepared and served or set out on a buffet with very little effort. At the very most, I include only one menu item that has to be cooked just before serving. For that reason, I find beef tenderloin to be my entertaining slam dunk.

Everyone loves beef tenderloin, and it is good served chilled, at room temperature or warm. If you are serving it chilled or at room temperature, it can be made the day before, making it even more convenient. It also is economical because you can slice it thin and get 20 to 25 portions out of a single tenderloin. If you like, you can splurge and buy prime tenderloin. Or if you plan in advance you can employ my trick and “wet age” it yourself in the refrigerator, resulting in a tenderloin with great depth of flavor.

Home wet-aging is effortless and especially handy because you can buy the tenderloin when it is on sale and save it for a future party or parties. Make sure you purchase a tenderloin that has been shrink-sealed (no air in the packaging). Once the meat is exposed to air, you have to cook it or it will go bad. But in airtight packaging, you can let the meat “age” in your refrigerator for up to six weeks. Many restaurants do this, and you can really tell the difference in the end product. I place a couple of tenderloins in

the back of my meat drawer and turn them every couple of days. I then schedule an alert on my calendar for two, four and six weeks to remind me that they are in my refrigerator waiting to be cooked. If I am feeling ambitious, I smoke the tenderloins with a combination of pecan and cherry wood and serve them chilled the next day. If I don’t have that much time, I sear them on the outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan and finish roasting them with See BEEF, Page 3C

12 slices fresh mozzarella (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick) 12 slices prosciutto 12 pieces roasted red pepper, approximate size of the cheese (fresh roasted or jarred) Balsamic reduction or balsamic glaze Fresh basil Deep fry or bake prosciutto until crispy. Stack fresh mozzarella, roasted red pepper and prosciutto in two layers on top of each other. Sprinkle with balsamic reduction and top with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Cinnamon-bun bread pudding a sweet start By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor

AP PHOTO

Cinnamon-bun bread pudding, dessert for breakfast, looks especially lovely served in a clear glass.

As though the candy canes on the tree and the presents under it aren’t enough, here’s an excuse to have an even sweeter start to Christmas. Cinnamon buns were the inspiration. And while on their own they make a delicious breakfast, I wanted to take them a little further. So I chopped them up, drenched them in eggs and milk, then baked them into an insanely delicious (and simple) bread pudding. To keep this recipe from becoming entirely heart stopping, I used fat-free half-and-half (skim milk is

fine, too). If you wanted, you also could use liquid egg substitute (egg whites) to cut the fat even further. And to help keep you focused on what really matters on Christmas morning (the presents!), this bread pudding can be assembled the night before, then covered and refrigerated. Bake as directed the next morning. ••• CINNAMON BUN BREAD PUDDING This recipe calls for 12 fully baked cinnamon buns. Get them at the bakery or in the grocer’s baking section. If you get raw cinnamon buns, bake

them according to package directions, let them cool, then use them as directed in this recipe. Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 12 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half or skim milk 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided Pinch salt 12 large glazed cinnamon buns 1 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a blender or large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of See CINNAMON, Page 7C

indirect heat, either in the grill or in the oven. The key to a perfect beef tenderloin is to season it simply and not overcook it. I take the meat out when the internal temperature reaches 130 F and let it rest for a minimum of 15 minutes, the longer the better so that the juices redistribute and every slice is rosy pink with a soft, tender and buttery texture. Beef tenderloin itself is a crowd-pleaser, but I always have a couple of options to dress it up. My favorite is this very simple but light and tangy horseradish cream. I make it just before my guests arrive and set it out with the meat and a small selection of dinner rolls. Pumpernickel is my favorite, but seeded hard rolls, soft brioche and/or a crusty baguette also are good choices. Your guests can make their own sandwiches or eat the tenderloin simply with a dollop of the fluffy horseradish cream. ••• HOLIDAY BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HORSERADISH CREAM Start to finish: 2 hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 20 For the meat: 5-pound whole beef tenderloin 2 tablespoons olive oil For the rub: 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon coarsely ground

Elizabeth Karmel’s holiday beef tenderloin is served with a simple but light and tangy horseradish cream. black pepper 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper For the horseradish cream: 1 pint heavy cream 1 to 2 tablespoons refrigerated, white prepared horseradish (not horseradish cream) Juice of 1/2 lemon Fine-grain sea salt Dinner rolls Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 1 hour. When the meat is ready, use paper towels to dry it. Brush the meat all over with a thin coat of olive oil. Set aside. Heat a grill to high. To prepare the rub, in a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, garlic and cayenne. Sprinkle the rub evenly over the tenderloin.

Place the tenderloin directly on the cooking grate and sear for 2 minutes on each side over direct high heat. After all the sides are seared, reduce one side of the grill to medium and the other side to the lowest possible heat. Set the meat over the cooler side and grill for another 30 to 40 minutes for medium-rare, or until a thermometer inserted at the thickest spot reads 130 F. Alternatively, the tenderloin can be seared in a large skillet on the stovetop, then set on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet and roasted at 350 F. When the tenderloin is done, transfer it to a platter, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. While the beef rests, pour the

cream into a large stainless-steel bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on high until it forms soft peaks. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish. Taste and adjust, adding more horseradish if you like it stronger. Season to taste with lemon juice and salt. Thinly slice the beef and serve with horseradish cream and dinner rolls.

the cinnamon and the salt. Puree or whisk until smooth. Set aside. Cut each cinnamon bun into 1- to 2-inch chunks. Arrange the chunks in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the pieces of cinnamon buns. As you pour, use a fork to gently press on the bun pieces to help them absorb the liquid. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly puffed and starting to brown. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. To serve, drizzle the bread pudding with the glaze, then cut it into 12 squares.

Man dreads family holiday events that aren’t likely to be very merry Dear Abby: I’m a 25-year-old guy with a unique problem. My father has been dating a woman since I was 16 who has a daughter my age named “Emma.” Over the years Emma and I became good friends — then more than that. About a year ago, I told her I had developed feelings for her, which drove her off. We haven’t talked since. She now lives in another state with her boyfriend, and I’m happy for her. With the holidays here, Dad expects me to go to all of the events and get-togethers. I made up excuses last year to avoid them, but don’t think I can do that again. I want to escape the awkward interaction with Emma

DEAR ABBY ADVICE and her boyfriend because I still have feelings for her. I don’t know how to handle this. Help, please. — Running From the Holidays Dear Running: You don’t have to attend “all” the events and gettogethers, but you should attend a few. When you do, consider bringing a friend with you and minimizing the contact you have with Emma and her boyfriend. Observe the social amenities, keep the conversation brief and casual, and concentrate on the rest of the family. While the initial contact may be

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

painful, this is no different than any other romance that didn’t work out. The awkwardness will pass if you concentrate on something else. Dear Abby: I have been living with my daughter and her family for two years because I lost my job. I don’t pay rent, but help out with the utilities and buy my own groceries. I also baby-sit for them several days a week. The only money I have is an inheritance my father left me to live on, and it is dissipating quickly. I have met a man and have fallen in love with him. I plan to move in with him soon. The problem is my daughter and son-in-law owe me money. They promised it would be repaid, but when I ask when, they give me the run-around. (They always

CRYPTOQUOTE

have money for tattoos, movies and concerts, though.) They also expect me to baby-sit for them on weekends, but that’s the only time I can see my boyfriend. How do I tell them I want to live my own life? I want to be free and not have to worry about them needing me to baby-sit and making me feel guilty about it. I’m afraid they’ll say that because I lived with them, they no longer owe me the money. Any suggestions would be appreciated. — Frustrated in K.C., Mo.

Be pleasant, but firm, and don’t let it escalate into an argument. If they say they don’t have it, ask them to sign (and date) a note promising to repay it at a later date. That will be your proof that a loan was extended. If they refuse, with no proof that you loaned them money, you won’t have leverage to force them to pay up. As for the baby-sitting, do it when it’s convenient for you. If they want “freedom” on some weekends, let them pay you instead of a sitter and work off their obligation that way.

Dear Frustrated: I presume your daughter and son-in-law have met your boyfriend? Announce the good news that you will be living with him; it shouldn’t be shocking. Ask again for the money that they owe you.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It used to be a “you or me” world. Now it’s a “you and me world,” and you find it easy to include others in your plans and find ways to help each other and mutually benefit from the effort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll provide excellent conversation and entertainment for anyone lucky enough to be around you today. You’re not trying to be funny, but your natural humor will shine through. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a strange predicament you’re in today. You’ll walk the fine line, deciding what to reveal and what to keep to yourself. You’ll do this with commendable grace. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wish you could tell everyone to “just behave.” Whether or not they listen is another story. But you can be very convincing, especially when you get that serious look in your eye. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Because of your sophisticated mind, you can respect the other person’s point of view even when you don’t share it. You treat the other person with dignity and set a tone of behavior for both of you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll make a goal, fully knowing that it may be futile. That part really doesn’t matter. That you have the heart and conviction is what matters most. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). How can you speak convincingly about something you know little about? You can’t. That’s why you’ll dive in and try to learn everything there is to know about your subject of interest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see life as a privilege. And you’ll help someone who takes life for granted. You won’t have to do anything special to provide this help. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ask friends for advice and help. Whatever is going on inside their heads, they will share with you. You have the kind of demeanor that makes people want to give you everything. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You won’t mind giving extra care to children, the elderly and/or other needy individuals in your life. Someone has to, and it just so happens that right now you have more to give. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your willingness to treat people the way they want to be treated will be most appreciated. What about you? Don’t you deserve some special treatment, too? Well, you do, and you will get it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Somehow you’ll manage to charm people without even trying. It’s not entirely a blessing. Still, you might be uncertain of what to do with all the attention. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 21). When you reflect back on this year, you’ll do so with a feeling of deep satisfaction. In January, you will learn a new language or assimilate with an interesting subculture. February brings intriguing social opportunities. There’s a shot at the “big time” in March. Changes in your family will favorably affect you in March. Gemini and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 7, 1, 24 and 28.

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