SCRANTON -- In his first re-
marks as a U.S. District Court
judge, former Scranton attorney
Robert D. Mariani recognized
the weighty responsibility be-
stowed upon him Monday after-
noon.
In the two months that Ive
been here, Ive seen firsthand
the heavy responsibility that
rests on the shoulders of a feder-
al judge. It is unlike practicing
law, I can assure you. The judges
of this court rule on matters tru-
ly of life, liberty and property,
he said. The power and respon-
sibility here is awesome.
Sworn in as a District Court
judge for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania on Nov. 10, the in-
vestiture of Mariani, 61, was
completed with the administra-
tion of the oath of office as his
three children clothed himin his
judicial robes for the first time.
He was lauded at length by
those who knew him personally
and professionally, including
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scran-
ton, who said Marianis life as a
practicing attorney was one of a
great advocate.
I know that youll serve with
integrity, that youll treat the
people who come before you
fairly as a judge, and that youll
live up to the reputation you de-
veloped as a lawyer and as an ad-
vocate.
Mariani is the 22nd judge of
the Middle District since its for-
mation in 1901, Chief U.S. Dis-
trict Court Judge for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania Yvette
Kane said.
The original support of Maria-
nis nomination by Casey and
former Sen. Arlen Specter had
lapsed without a Judiciary Com-
mittee hearing before the close
of 2010, and Sen. Pat Toomey
said he took great care in con-
firming the right candidate for
the lifetime appointment.
Toomey left a rigorous vetting
process including discussions
about and with Mariani im-
pressed with the Scranton na-
tives intellect, unquestioned
integrity, and commitment to
the law.
I have complete confidence
in his ability to administer jus-
tice impartially, Toomey said.
Colleagues shared similar ad-
mirations.
Since November, Mariani said
that he has found that correct ju-
dicial decisions are not always
popular decisions, and that they
must not be impacted by emo-
tions.
You are duty-bound to follow
the law, no matter what else may
be on your mind, he said.
But he left those in the over-
flowing courtroom of the Wil-
liam J. Nealon Federal Building
with a distinct promise.
I will strive for the wisdomto
know the right decision and
have the courage to make it.

WILKES-BARRE The first
Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board work session of the New
Year on Monday covered a lot
issues: A newplan to name on-
ly one valedictorian for each
high school; new rules allow-
ing administrators to coach
sports; a newpromise tofinally
develop and adopt a hiring pol-
icy two years after the board
started working on one; and a
new concern about leaky old
pipes.
Project Manager Gary Salij-
ko of Apollo Group Inc. the
company overseeing district
repair work noted a leak in
water lines at Meyers High
School remains unresolved.
The district has had trouble
pinpointing the problem be-
cause the pipe runs under the
concrete flooring. Board mem-
ber Phil Latinski decided to fo-
cus on where the water was go-
ing, cautioning that it could be
infiltrating the infrastructure
and causing unseen damage.
The board asked Apollo to
find someone with the exper-
tise to determine where the
leak is flowing to.
Supervisor of Curriculum
and Instruction Andrew Kuhl
explained the newgrading sys-
temused by the district for the
past few years. Board Presi-
dent Maryanne Toole said she
wanted the new members to
understand it so the board
could vote on the system,
which gives each student a nu-
meric grade for class work and
for the grade point average at
the end of the year rather than
the old letter-grade system.
The system is in use but has
never been voted on by the
board, Toole noted.
Board member John Quinn
asked why the systemdoes not
give a student a grade below
50, and Kuhl said going lower
meant a student who scored
poorly in the first quarter but
improved enough to pass the
next three could still theoreti-
cally flunk the year. If its too
hard to rebound after one bad
quarter, they may just give up,
he said.
Noting that the board had
voted to have the athletic com-
mittee drawup and implement
a policy allowing administra-
tors to coach sports, Commit-
tee Chairwoman Lynn Evans
said the committee had decid-
ed on three limits: administra-
tors cant leave their job early
for a sports event, cant coach
at the school where they work
and cant coach their own child
or grandchild.
The third restriction evoked
strong disagreement from Di-
noGalella, QuinnandLatinski.
They said they expected to
vote on the policy, but Assist-
ant Solicitor Ray Wendolowski
said the board had given full
power to the committee and it
didnt need a vote. Wendolow-
ski said the board could vote to
change the policy at the regu-
lar meeting Wednesday.
Board member John Corco-
ran ended the meeting by say-
ing the ad hoc committee he
chairs has begun work on a
new teacher hiring policy. It
has been two years since the
board first decided to adopt a
policy it has no written pol-
icy, only a procedure that came
under fire in 2009 when two
board members pleaded guilty
to charges related to bribes
paid by teacher candidates to
board members. Corcoran said
he expects the policy to be
ready for a vote within six
months, if not sooner.

Applicants for three Luzerne
County government boards will
be publicly interviewed, a con-
cept newto county government,
the new county council decided
in a work session Monday.
Council members said they
didnt want to rely solely on re-
sumes for appointments to the
Board of Elections and Registra-
tion, the Accountability, Con-
duct and Ethics Commission
and the Board of Tax Assess-
ment Appeals.
Citizen appointments to all
three boards must be made by
Feb. 1, according to the home
rule charter.
The council will interview on-
ly citizens who apply by noon on
Jan. 17.
To date, council received 25
applications for the ethics com-
mission, about 12 for the elec-
tion board and 10 for the assess-
ment board.
The assessment board, which
will remain three members un-
der home rule, is the only board
providing compensation, and
the pay has not yet been set. Sev-
eral council members said
theyd support a flat rate for
hours worked, as opposed to a
salary. Appeal board members
were previously paid $15,000
each.
The ethics commission will
police the countys yet-to-be-ap-
proved ethics code, which en-
courages workers and officials to
expose questionable activity,
misuse or waste of county funds
and alleged corruption.
Two citizens one Democrat
and one Republican will serve
on the board along with the
county manager, district attor-
ney and controller.
County Election Bureau Di-
rector Leonard Piazza told the
council the four election board
members two Democrats and
two Republicans should be ap-
pointed by Jan. 24, which is the
first day to file nominating pet-
itions in the 2012 election. The
four appointees choose the fifth
election board member.
Interviews will be held Jan. 18
for election and assessment
board applicants and Jan. 23 for
ethics board applicants. Both
meetings will be at 6:01 p.m. in
the county Emergency Manage-
ment Agency building on Water
Street, Wilkes-Barre.
Aretiree must also be selected
for the County Retirement
Board, which oversees the em-
ployee pension fund.
Nominations will be accepted
until noon Jan. 18, and an elec-
tion will be held Jan. 23. Mem-
bers of the retirement system
will vote on county electronic
voting machines or by absentee
ballots.
Information on that process
and howto apply for board seats
will be posted on the county
website at www.luzernecoun-
ty.org.
Three council members are in-
terested in two council seats on
the retirement board: Edward
Brominski, Eugene Kelleher and
Rick Morelli. Council Chairman
Jim Bobeck will select one, and
the council chooses the other.
The council also scheduled a
public work session at 6:01 p.m.
Thursday in the EMA building
with Interim County Manager
Tom Pribula to discuss 2012
budget amendment options.
Pribula said he has analyzed
revenue figures in the budget
passed by former county com-
missioners and believes some of
their projections are aggres-
sive, which means the council
must decide if it supports in-
creasing taxes or the number of
layoffs.
The inherited budget has no
tax hike and would require at
least 150 layoffs, Pribula said.
Council members also dis-
cussed a proposal to urge Lacka-
wanna County officials to re-
verse a plan to sell the Triple-A
baseball franchise co-purchased
with Luzerne County, but coun-
cil members said they must do
more research.
Public interviews set for county boards
Citizen appointments to all
three boards to be filled must
be made by Feb. 1.

NAACP to honor King
The Wilkes-Barre NAACP will
hold a public ceremony observing
the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holi-
day at 6 p.m. Thursday in the First
Presbyterian Church, 97 S. Franklin
St., Wilkes-Barre.
The event was held in the county
courthouse rotunda for 14 years, but
the organization cannot afford to pay
a usage fee, said organization Presi-
dent Ronald Felton.
The county has a policy requiring
non-government organizations to pay
a fee for security coverage and util-
ities if they use the rotunda for eve-
ning events.
Felton said the event must be held
at night for the convenience of peo-
ple who work during the day.

Ruling for CV appealed
Attorneys for an area businessman
who filed a lawsuit against The Citi-
zens Voice newspaper in 2002 said
in court papers Monday that a coun-
ty judge erred when he ruled in favor
of the newspaper last month, revers-
ing a $3.5 million verdict.
Attorneys George Croner and
Timothy Polishan, who represent
Thomas Joseph Sr., his son and sev-
eral of their businesses, said in court
papers Monday the verdict should
have been made in favor of their
clients, because they proved during a
non-jury trial in May that the paper
damaged their reputations.
Croner and Polishan say special
monetary damages should be made
in favor of their clients, or that a new
trial should be held to determine the
amount of damages.
The ruling last month by Judge
Joseph Van Jura negates a $3.5 mil-
lion verdict that was originally en-
tered in 2006 against the newspaper.
The verdict was overturned in 2009
by the state Superior Court.
The Josephs claim their reputa-
tions were damaged by a series of
articles published in 2001. The arti-
cles, the suit says, falsely alleged that
Joseph Sr. was under investigation
for utilizing two of his businesses to
launder money for reputed mobster
William Billy DElia and others.

JudgeFredPierantoni, whowas recent-
ly assigned to Selenskis case, appointed
Shelley Centini to rep-
resent Selenski at his
homicide trial, tenta-
tively scheduled to be-
gin in April.
Selenski, 38, is facing
the death penalty if he
is convicted in the
deaths of Tammy Fas-
sett and Michael Ker-
kowski, both 37.
Investigators allegeSelenski killedFas-
sett and Kerkowski on May 3, 2002.
Their bodies were found on June 5,
2003, buried outside the home on Mount
Olivet Road, Kingston Township, where
Selenski lived.
Pierantoni said Centini, appointed as
an independent contractor as conflict
counsel, will be paid $85 per hour, with-

SCRANTON Taking place
on what would have been his
80th birthday, friends, family
and local officials gathered at
the small park at the intersec-
tion of Washington Avenue and
Woodlawn Street to remember
the life and accomplishments of
former Gov. Robert Patrick
Casey, Sr. during a dedication
ceremony of a state historical
marker in his name Monday af-
ternoon.
Sponsored by the Lackawan-
na County Historical Society,
the blue and yellow aluminum
marker credits Casey for pio-
neering the Childrens Health
Insurance Program (CHIP),
which served as a national mod-
el; landmark environmental
reforms such as the PENN-
VESTclear water program; and
achieving national stature for
his anti-abortion stance.
It joins the more than 2,000
markers administered by the
Pennsylvania Historical and
Museum Commission since
1946, which commemorate the
stories of public officials, com-
munity representatives, and
historical events across the
state.
Serving as the 42nd governor
from1987-95, Casey also served
as state senator from 1962-66,
first vice president of the Penn-
sylvania Constitutional Con-
vention from1967-68, and audi-
tor general from1969-77.
The governor inspired not
only the young people of Green
Ridge, but of Northeastern
Pennsylvania by his dedication
to service, and most important-
ly, by his perseverance, Scran-
ton Mayor Chris Doherty said.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. re-
called that in his late fathers
first interviewoutside his home
after his election, his first state-
ment was to thank his neigh-
bors andfriends inGreenRidge,
which is why his son found the
markers location appropriate.
In any free society, there
will always be people who are
vulnerable, at the mercy of
those with power. In the name
of freedom, we cannot sit back
and let some people be tram-
pled by others. We cannot let
the weak be exploited by the
strong. Only government when
all else fails can safeguard the
venerable and the powerless,
Casey said, quoting his late fa-
ther.
Casey Sr.s wife of 50 years,
Ellen, agreed her husbands
heart remained in the commu-
nity throughout his lifetime.
Casey was diagnosed with the
rare hereditary disease, Appala-
chian familial amyloidosis. He
died May 30, 2000, at the age of
68.

These were necessary appoint-
ments to the personal staff of our six
new judges who have already been as-
signed a significant caseload, Burke
said.
The appointments include full-time
law clerk positions for Judge Michael
Vough, filled by Jeffrey Tokach, who
had previously served as the first as-
sistant district attorney, and for Judge
Fred Pierantoni, filled by former As-
sistant District Attorney Chester Dud-
ick.
Eight part-time law clerk positions
and six full-time secretary positions al-
so were filled.
The appointments Monday did not
include tipstaff for the newjudges, due
in part because the courts have agreed
to create a tipstaff pool, rather than as-
signing one to each judge. A tipstaff
serves a judge in the courtroom when
court is in session.
Approximately five tipstaffs serve
current sitting judges, and would likely
be used interchangeably for each
judge, while other staffing for judges
has beenreducedbecause they have as-
sumed senior status.
The new appointments include an
annual salary plus benefits:
Elizabeth Topolski, Sugarloaf, law
clerk, Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr.,
$32,164
Rebecca L. Madden, Wilkes-Barre,
executive secretary, Judge JosephSkla-
rosky Jr., $42,000
Richard Shiptoski, Shickshinny,
law clerk, Judge Joseph Sklarosky, Jr.,
$32,164
Jeffrey J. Tokach, Mountain Top,
law clerk, Judge Michael Vough,
$64,328
Gina Bowen, Jenkins Township,
executive secretary, Judge Michael
Vough, $42,000
Julie Berry, Luzerne, executive
secretary, Judge Lesa Gelb, $42,000
Christine M. Trottini, Forty Fort,
law clerk, Judge Lesa Gelb, $39,455
Samuel Falcone, law clerk, Judge
Lesa Gelb, $24,872
Thomas J. Mosca, Dallas, law
clerk, Judge Richard Hughes, $24,872
Countys 6 new judges make staff appointments
President judge says appointments
needed due to heavy caseloads.

BAGHDAD
17 killed by car bombs
T
hree car bombs exploded Monday
evening in the Iraqi capital and
killed at least 17 people, authorities
said..
One bomb struck near a police vehi-
cle in a Shiite neighborhood, killing
three policemen and four others, police
said. Earlier, a roadside bomb killed
two Shiite pilgrims in a Baghdad sub-
urb. The attacks were the latest in a
wave of violence primarily targeting
Shiites that has killed more than 90
people in less than a week.
Security discovered a third car bomb
in a predominantly Sunni area in Bagh-
dad later in the evening. It exploded
while sappers were trying to defuse it,
killing a soldier, officials said.
The leaders of Iraqs rival sects have
been locked in a standoff since last
month, when authorities in the Shiite-
dominated government called for Sun-
ni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemis
arrest on terrorism charges just as the
last American troops were withdrawing
from the country. Al-Hashemi is Iraqs
highest ranking Sunni politician.
AKRON, OHIO
Scouts nix cookie sales
Fourteen members of a Girl Scout
troop in Aurora, Ohio, have their own
recipes for making money, and they
dont involve selling cookies.
Unhappy that local leadership has
moved to sell four of their seven
camps, they have decided not to sell
the cookies that help pay for their
program.
They can work at McDonalds or do
baby-sitting to earn money for their
activities, troop leader Marie Cassidy
said. They have options. Its just not
worth their while.
Troop leaders say pockets of girls are
not taking part in the annual cookie
drive in the 18-county North East Ohio
council.
WASHINGTON
EPAs power on trial
The Supreme Court appeared sympa-
thetic Monday to an Idaho couples
fight to build their dream home over
the objections of the Environmental
Protection Agency, in a case that could
have far broader implications and limit
the EPAs ability to regulate developers,
energy companies and others.
Justice Samuel Alito called the EPAs
conduct outrageous. Justice Antonin
Scalia spoke of the agencys highhand-
edness.
The broad issue is whether landown-
ers hit by EPA compliance orders
should be allowed to sue immediately
to overturn those orders, rather than
waiting for the EPA to go to court to
force compliance.
The case could have far-reaching
implications. Environmental groups
say that a victory for Michael and
Chantell Sackett could allow big corpo-
rate polluters to tie up the EPA in court
instead of dealing with the problem.
WASHINGTON
Daley quits as chief of staff
William Daley is stepping down as
White House chief of staff and budget
director Jack Lew is taking over Presi-
dent Barack Obamas team as it heads
into a tough election year.
Daley gave his letter of resignation to
the president last week.
The choice of Lew puts a veteran
staffer of the White House, Capitol Hill
and State Department in a critical
position as the president looks to work
through tough budget and economic
issues with Congress this year despite
fierce opposition from Republicans in
the GOP-led House.

BEIRUT A court in Tehran has sen-
tencedto deathanIranianAmericanwho
was convicted of spying for the CIA, Ira-
nian media reported Monday.
The sentencing of Amir Mirzaei Hek-
mati, 28, is likely to add to the tension be-
tween the United States and Iran, which
has been escalating over the Islamic Re-
publics disputed nuclear program.
Prosecutors accusedHekmati of coop-
eration with an enemy government,
membership in the CIA and attempts to
accuse Iran of supporting terrorism, the
semiofficial Fars news agency reported.
Last month, Iranian state television
broadcast video of a purported confes-
sion by Hekmati in which he said he had
been sent by the CIA to infiltrate Iranian
intelligence services.
Iran alleges Hekmati served at U.S.
bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and re-
ceived specialized training. The Intelli-
gence Ministry said its agents identified
Hekmati at Bagram air base in neighbor-
ing Afghanistan and tracked himas he in-
filtrated Iran.
Fars reported Hekmati repeated the al-
leged confession at a closed-door trial
last month, telling the court that he was
fooled by the CIA and did not want to
strike a blow at Iran.
Hekmatis family said any confessions
would have been made under duress. His
father, Ali Hekmati, a community college
professor inFlint, Mich., toldThe Associ-
ated Press that his son was a former U.S.
military translator who was in Iran to vis-
it his two grandmothers.
The younger Hekmati was born in
Flagstaff, Ariz., and graduated from high
school in Flint.
The U.S. State Department has de-
mandedHekmatis release, saying he was
falsely accused.
We call on the government of Iran to
grant the Swiss protecting power imme-
diate access to himand release himwith-
out delay, the State Departments depu-
ty spokesman, Mark C. Toner, said.
Weve seenthis story before withthe Ira-
nianregime falsely accusing people of be-
ing spies and then holding innocent for-
eigners for political reasons.

STATE COLLEGE Three town hall
meetings planned this week with Penn
State alumni and school President Rod-
ney Erickson have reached full capacity.
There is no room for additional regis-
trants for the events in downtown Pitts-
burgh on Wednesday, the Philadelphia
suburb of King of Prussia on Thursday
and in NewYork on Friday, the university
said.
Erickson has billed the 90-minute
events, sponsored by the Penn State
Alumni Association, as a way for him to
listen to alumni.
During a similar forumwith about 450
students and employees on Nov. 30, Er-
icksonsaidtheschool wouldraisethevis-
ibility of ethics to a new level so that
the university community will learn to
do the right thing the first time, every

Spanier resigned in the wake of allega-
tions that former assistant football coach
Jerry Sandusky molested children and
two high-ranking school administrators

The Penn State Alumni Association
has receivedandrespondedtothousands
of emails and phone calls about the scan-
dal and expressed justifiable concerns
and questions about it, said association
executive director Roger L. Williams.
Sandusky faces 52criminal counts that
involve 10 alleged victims over 15 years.

TAMPA, Fla. A Kosovo-born Mus-
limman was charged with plotting to at-
tack crowded locations around Tampa,
including nightclubs and a sheriffs of-
fice, with a car bomb, assault rifle and
other explosives, federal authorities said
Monday.
According to a federal complaint, 25-
year-old Sami Osmakac recorded an
eight-minute video
shortly before his ar-
rest explaining why he
wanted to bring terror
to his victims hearts
in the Tampa Bay area.
Osmakac is a natural-
ized American citizen
born in Kosovo, a re-
gion of the former Yugoslavia in eastern
Europe.
In the video, Osmakac is seen cross-
legged on the floor with a pistol in his
handandanAK-47behindhim. Osmakac
said in the video that Muslimblood was
morevaluablethanthat of peoplewhodo
not believe in Islam, according to the
complaint. He said he wanted payback
for wrong that was done to Muslims, the
complaint said.
Led by the United States, NATOinter-
vened in1999 to protect the largely Mus-
lim Kosovo region and force Yugoslav
and Serbian forces to withdraw.
Osmakac gave only brief answers to
questions during his first appearance in
federal court Monday. He wore a blue jail
outfit and was shackled at his wrists and
ankles. Hispublicdefender, AlecHall, de-
clined to comment afterward.
U.S. MagistrateJudgeAnthonyPorcel-
li ordered Osmakac held without bail. If
convictedonthe single count of attempt-
ed use of a weapon of mass destruction,
Osmakac could face life in prison.

tack after he allegedly bought explo-

CountySenior JudgeJosephAugel-
lo has barredtestimony andany re-
ports apsychiatrist has madeinthe
homicide case of now-18-year-old
Cody Lee. Augello also removed
himself fromthe case.
In a three-page order, Augello
said any report written by John
OBrien, and any testimony by him
is not permitted at any of the pro-
ceedings in Lees case.
This is another win for Cody
Lee, his attorney Peter Paul Ols-
zewski Jr. said.
Lee is charged in the December
2009 shooting
death of his 80-
year-old great-
grandfather,
Herbert Lee, in
Lake Township.
At ahearingin
November, Au-
gello heard argu-
ments from Lees attorneys and
prosecutors regarding a request by
defense attorneys to have OBriens
testimony and reports thrown out.
Lees attorneys, Olszewski, Me-
lissa Scartelli andCharles Rado, ar-
gued OBriens testimony and re-
ports shouldbedisallowedbecause
he likely based his opinions on evi-
dencethat hadbeenpreviouslysup-
pressedinthecase, includingstate-
ments Lee made to investigators
about the shooting.
The report could be used at a
hearing in which a judge would de-
cide if Lees case should stay in
adult court or be handled in the
countys juvenile system.
That hearing has not yet been
scheduled.
Defense attorneys argued it
would be impossible for OBrien to
disregard or set aside what he has
already read.
Prosecutors said at the Novem-
ber hearing that OBrien said his
opinion about Lee would not
change, whether he read the state-
ments or not.
Augello sided with the defense.
The commonwealth witness
shouldnot bebasingopinionsupon
matters which have been appropri-
ately suppressed, Augello wrote.
For this reason it would be inap-
propriate based upon our reviewof
his report, for Dr. OBrien to testify
at the transfer hearing.
Augelloalsosaidinhis filingthat
because he alsoreviewedevidence,
reports and opinions of experts, he
believedit wouldbeappropriatefor
another judge to conduct the re-
quest to transfer to juvenile court.

WILKES-BARRE Tony
George wants the 2012 ver-
sion of City Council meetings
to feature decorum dignity
or good taste that is appropri-
ate to a specific occasion.
George, 60, is one of three
new council members who
will participate in their first
meeting this week. Maureen
Lavelle, 67, and George
Brown, 60, join returning in-
cumbents Mike Merritt, 50,
and Bill Barrett, 61, on the
five-member panel. All are
Democrats.
First of all, I want to calm
down the meetings, George
said Monday. We have to
bring decorum to council
meetings from both sides of
the desk.
George said that when peo-
ple address council they have
to show constraint and re-
spect, and he expects the
same from his fellow council
members.
Once we get there, then we
canget downto business, Ge-
orge said. It takes two people
to argue; both sides have to be
civil.
Maureen Lavelle, like Ge-
orge, is hopeful meetings are
civil.
I dont want to see the dra-
ma that weve had in the past,
Lavelle said. I will respect
people, and in return, I expect
to be respected.
At councils final meeting of
2011, Santa Claus (former
mayoral candidate Libertar-
ian Betsy Summers), a regular
critic of city officials, arrived
with gifts for council and
Mayor Tom Leighton.
Santa Claus was given
more than five minutes, La-
velle said, referring to the al-
lotted time given for public
comment. Santa should have
been gaveled.
Council meetings have been
volatile in recent months with
shouting and name calling a
regular occurrence. George, a
former city police chief, wants
a representative of the police
department administration to
attend the meetings to re-
spond to public comments,
questions and criticisms.
Ninety percent of the pub-
lic complaints are about the
police department, George
said. Somebody should be
there to explain and to answer
the questions.
Mike Merritt, the newcoun-
cil chairman, said council
members should feel optimis-
tic heading into 2012.
With opportunities come
some challenges, Merritt
said. The sooner we face
those challenges and address
them, the better off we all will
be. We need to measure our
current performance in all ar-
eas and make improvements,
he said. And without costing
the taxpayers any more.
Barrett, who will serve as
vice chairman, said the focus
will be on city neighborhoods.
We will need to further
partner with our residents,
community and civic groups
with the goal of reducing
crime, eradicating blighted
properties and striving to im-
prove the quality of life in all
of our neighborhoods, he
said.
Brown said his goal to see
that residents concerns are
addressed in a timely manner.
Their issues will be taken
seriously, Brown said.

HAZLETON City police said
they closed a tavern on North
Wyoming Street after investigat-
ingseveral altercations at thebusi-
ness on Saturday.
Police said they were called to
Prestigio Bar andRestaurant at 40
N. WyomingSt. at 7:30p.m. and10
p.m. While police were investigat-
ing the latter altercation, a third
fight erupted inside, prompting
police to shut down the business
for the night.
Prestigio advertises itself on
Facebook as a family-style restau-
rant.
Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board lists Daniel C. Batista and
AmadoBatista as officers onthe li-
quor license. They couldnot be re-
ached for comment on Monday.
Ayear ago, two men were killed
outside the establishment in an al-
tercation that began inside anoth-
er tavern at Penn Palace, 44 N.
Wyoming St., according to arrest
and court records.
Police said they first responded
toPrestigioat 7:30p.m., whensev-
eral patrons inside the tavern be-
gan fighting and throwing bottles.
A man standing in the rear of the
tavernwas struckinthe face, caus-
ing a severe injury, police said.
The man was treated at a hospi-
tal. His name was not released.
Police returned to the tavern
more than two hours later when
an altercation that began inside
the tavern spilled out on to Green
Street. Police said one of the peo-
ple in the second fight brandished
ahandgunandspedawayinavehi-
cle.
Police said that while they were
investigating the second fight, a
third altercation erupted inside
the tavern, forcing police to close
the business for the night.
No charges have been filed as a
result of the three fights.
AccordingtoLCBrecords, Pres-
tigio was cited with furnishing al-
cohol to a minor in February 2009
and August 2010. The license
holders were fined $3,500, accord-
ing to LCB records.
Arrest and court records say Ju-
dah Hope, 23, was fatally shot and
Vladimir Ruiz, 21, was gunned
down in the area of 40 and 44 N.
Wyoming St. on Jan. 16, 2011.
Surveillance video from busi-
nesses on North Wyoming Street
allegedly recorded the killings.
Angel Sanchez, 20, and Rodolfo
Perez, 25, both of Hazleton, are
facing trial in March for the hom-
icide of Ruiz.

the Selenski saga.
The other two death-penalty-certified conflict
lawyers, John Pike and Robert Buttner, were per-
mittedby Judge JosephVanJura onNov. 9 to leave
their representation of Selenski when he success-
fully argued they were not agreeing on defense
strategies.
At that time, Van Jura said he would appoint an-
other lawyer for Selenski, but he had not done so
when his term expired at the end of 2011.
Pierantoni must next schedule hearings to pre-
servethetestimonyof twoelderlyprosecutionwit-
nesses.
Prosecutors have sought to videotape the testi-
mony of 85-year-old Paul Benyovszky, an expert in
flex ties, and Kerkowskis estranged wife, Kimber-
ly Kerkowski.
Prosecutors have said the two are ill and their
testimony needs tobe preservedsothat a jury may
eventually hear it.

Kids for the Kingdom is a California-based char-

tion recognized by the IRS. All gifts are tax-deduc-

Tim Dabel, operations director for Kids for the

was spent according to the donors intent.
We dont have any issues with the way the dona-
tionwas used, Dabel said. I cant tell youwhy this
foundationwas usedto disburse the money.
Dabel said the charitys nonprofit status allowed
the donationto be tax deductible for the donor.
Leighton said he was personally very grateful
for the donor stepping forward at a time when the
city was facing serious financial difficulties. The
mayor saidthat whenhe tookoffice in2004the city
was facing a $10 million deficit and it had lost its
credit rating.

MUNICIPAL BRIEF
WILKES-BARRE The
Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA has
moved beyond helping Wyom-
ing Valley residents get and stay
fit well beyond.
The local Yhas been named as
a mentor in an expanding na-
tional program designed to pro-
mote healthier habits in commu-
nities, and in this case the com-
munity is Dubuque, Iowa.
We were one of only three Ys
across the country chosen to do
this, Communication Director
Meghan Davis said.
This is a newidea ina 4-year-
old program called Action Com-
munities for Health, Innovation
and EnVironmental ChangE, or
ACHIEVE. The idea is to help
participating communities build
partnerships and raise public
awareness about the harmful ef-
fects of tobacco use and expo-
sure, poor nutrition and physical
inactivity in schools, work sites
and other community settings,
according to a press release.
ACHIEVEis run collaborative-
ly by five national health organi-
zations with enough letters in
their acronyms to fill a pot of al-
phabet soup, including the YM-
CA of the USA. All five operate
under the umbrella of the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
ventions Healthy Communities
Programs.
The program started in Janu-
ary 2008 with 10 participating
communities using small grants
to implement various programs
to meet healthimprovement and
awareness goals. In 2009, the
Wyoming Valley was one of 43
communities added to the list,
with the local Y spearheading
the effort. By last year, 134 com-
munities nationwide were in-
volved.
On Monday, ACHIEVE an-
nounced 15 more communities
wouldjointhe programthis year,
with a new twist. Each of the
newcomers was assigned a
mentor, one of the communi-
ties that has been in the program
and has a successful track re-
cord. The local program, run by
Carol Hussa froman office in the
Y, was appointed mentor for Du-
buque.
They are new to this pro-
gram, Davis said. If they have
questions or concerns or need
technical assistance, they call
us. Carol will take that on,
though it will be a group effort
with the rest of us helping out.
Becoming a mentor involves a
small grant to cover the expens-
es, though Davis didnt knowthe
amount.

unsafe playground equipment at
the 40-year-old park.
When the project is complete,
the park will serve as a trailhead
for the West Side Trail, council
president Eileen Cipriani said.
Council voted to approve the
borough engineers design rec-

Trent Dilfer
The NFL analyst for ESPN predicted that newly hired Penn State
University football coach Bill OBrien will have much success in
recruiting players for the Nittany Lions, because of his prestige as an
offensive coach with pro footballs New England Patriots.
On PSU matter, senators
swayed far too easily
ART THOU king, and wilt be forced? I

shame to hear thee speak.
So said Margaret of Anjou when her
weak-willed husband Henry VI disinher-
ited their son in favor of the Duke of York,
and the same principle applies to the dis-
missal of Coach Joe Paterno by Penn State
Universitys Board of Trustees in apparent
response to media pressure. A pusillani-
mous display of moral cowardice disqual-
ifies any leader from further tenure in his
or her position, and this applies to Penn-
sylvanias senators as well.
Henry VI lost his right to rule England
when he allowed the Yorkists to order him
to disinherit his son, and Penn States
trustees lost their right to govern the uni-
versity when they seemingly allowed
ESPN and other news media influences to
tell them to fire Coach Paterno. Two trust-
ees admitted in interviews that haste and/
or the need to gratify the media as op-
posed to diligent consideration, responsib-
le stewardship or basic justice were the
primary motives for their decision. Trustee
Vice Chair John Surma, when asked what
Paterno had done wrong, replied: I cant
characterize that. We thought because of
the difficulties that have engulfed our
university, it was necessary to make chang-
es.
This dysfunctional board can no longer
command the respect, trust or confidence
of anybody in the Penn State community
or the commonwealth. The faculty senate
has put forward a resolution to call for
their resignations and a restructuring of
the board.
U.S. Sens. Pat Toomey and Bob Casey,
meanwhile, retracted their support for
Paternos well-deserved Presidential Medal
of Freedom, again without any diligent or
even identifiable effort to discover the
facts. They blew along like leaves with the
prevailing breeze instead of standing like
an oak that roots itself solidly in a founda-
tion of honor, principles, integrity and
common decency. The nice thing about
being an oak is that, when a real storm
comes, you are still standing afterward
instead of being blown all over the coun-
tryside.
Toomey always has come across as a
lightweight; he and his clones are why
Republicans lose elections they should
win.
Meanwhile, Caseys support of cap-and-
trade at the expense of working Pennsylva-
nians shows that his loyalties lie with Wall
Street and other special interests instead
of the people who made the mistake of
electing him. Pennsylvanians must correct
this mistake in 2012, and a moderate or
conservative Democrat should challenge
Casey in the primary in case the Repub-
licans put up another Toomey as the al-
ternative.

K
GO REDEEM your gift
cards!
Thats my takeaway after
a chat with Brian Riley, a
senior research director in
the retail banking and
cards practice at Tower-
Group. He studies the
retail industry and calculates that in this
new year, $2 billion in gift-card purchases
will go unredeemed. Some will be lost.
Others misplaced. And some recipients are
simply not motivated to shop at certain
retailers.
Believe it or not, the $2 billion figure will
represent an improvement. Riley calculates
that since 2005, $41 billion has gone un-
redeemed.
Its not that people have gotten better at
cleaning out the junk drawer. The improve-
ment is attributable to Title IV of the Credit
Card Accountability, Responsibility, and
Disclosure Act of 2009, which eliminated
many junk fees and voided expiration dates
on the cards of less than five years from
purchase date.
At the peak in 2007, 10 percent of all
dollars loaded did not get used, Riley told
me. He said that included $600 million left
in kitchen drawers, $2.6 billion in fees (for
example, being charged 50 cents just to
check the balance on the card) and $3.5
billion in lost value because of expirations.
So where does the money go? The answer
depends on a patchwork of state laws.
Recognizing that some retailers have
moved unredeemed amounts off their bal-
ance sheets and reclaimed the amounts as
revenue, certain states (themselves looking
for new sources of cash) have seized the
value for their general coffers.
That states should reap a windfall when
gift recipients leave money on the counter
doesnt seem fair. Nor does it seem right
that merchants should ring the register
without giving up anything of value. Riley
agrees.
From the way I look at it, its the consum-
ers money, he said. The whole nature of
gift cards is that you are tendering money to
retailers and asking them to hold onto it
until you are ready to use it. Just because
you havent used it doesnt mean its no
longer yours.
Now you know why the gift-card kiosks
have grown larger each year and become
permanent fixtures. Theyre an enormous
profit center.
For guidance in Pennsylvania, the at-
torney generals website says:
Under Pennsylvania law, unused gift
certificates are turned over to the Pennsylva-
nia Department of the Treasury as un-
claimed property. The business must turn
the gift certificate over two years after expi-
ration date. If there is no expiration date,
then it must be turned over five years from
the date of issuance. You may claim certif-
icates from the Department of the Treasury
by calling 1-800-222-2046. Thus far, the
Pennsylvania state treasury has collected
more than $2.7 million in unredeemed gift
certificates and is currently seeking the
rightful owners.
That collection falls under the purview of
state Treasurer Rob McCord, whose solu-
tion is common sense.
When consumers buy a gift card, they do
so with the reasonable expectation that the
recipient will receive something in return;
they dont buy gift cards from a company as
a charitable contribution, McCord told me
in an e-mail. Ultimately, its important for
consumers to use their gift cards sooner
rather than wait and possibly forget them.
Think about it if you got $20 as a gift, you
would spend it as opposed to putting it
away in a drawer.
Go redeem them.

HE LATESTevidence
that America needs to
go on a diet comes
from the U.S. Coast
Guard. Thats right, the Coast
Guard.
Were so fat that the branch
of the U.S. military charged
with safeguarding the nations
maritime interests has had to
change the rules for how many
passengers boats can carry
safely.
No laughing matter, the reg-
ulations have economic conse-
quences. For example, the wa-
ter taxi Miss Pittsburgh could
carry 72 passengers in 1999,
but the number has been cut to
42, which translated into an
$800 loss during three Steelers
games alone for the boats own-
er.
And thats just a ripple in the
water compared with the im-
pact nationwide.
The changes were necessary
because, since 1960, the aver-
age weight of American men
has increased from166 pounds
to 195 pounds, a 17.4 percent
jump, and from 140 to 165 for
women, a 17.8 percent hike.
That rendered the Coast
Guards overall 140-poundstan-
dard too low.

OTHER OPINION: OBESITY
Were supersized
and sinking fast
I
F YOU ARE accused of a
crime and headed to
court, mounting your de-
fense should in no way re-
semble speed dating.
Yet certain people represent-
ed by the Luzerne County Pub-
lic Defenders Office never
meet with their attorneys until
arriving for their preliminary
hearings, at which time, we
imagine, they hastily
shake hands andthen
awkwardly exchange
a few details about
one another before
facing the judge.
The office has be-
come so swamped
withcases, saidChief
Public Defender Al
Flora Jr., that he
sometimes has re-
sorted to helping an
attorney recognize a newclient
by supplying the clients photo.
Rather than effective and im-
passioned counsel, it seems
these clients are getting some-
one to show them where to
hang their coats and grab a cof-
fee.
You should be bothered
about this if you care about (1)
the Constitution (2) justice (3)
the black eye Luzerne County
sustainedover the kids-for-cash
fiasco or (4) any combination
of those things.
By all means, voice your con-
cerns. Askmembers of thenew-
ly formed Luzerne County
Council to explore workloads
and salaries in our Public De-
fenders Office versus those of
similarly sized counties. Also,
implore state lawmakers to be-
gin fixing flaws exposed by the
Joint State Government Com-
mission in its recent report on
the status of Pennsylvanias in-
digent defense system.
Many counties and states
are similarly coping with finan-
cial troubles that threaten to re-
duce the role of public defend-
ers to public pretenders. In
several instances, public de-
fenders actuallyhavedrawnthe
line, refusing cases rather than
further overloading their em-
ployees, according to a report
Sunday in The
Times Leader by
staff writer Terrie
Morgan-Besecker.
Expect prolonged
court challenges
while legal eagles
search for a suita-
ble solution.
Meanwhile, you
and other Luzerne
County residents
can approach the
problem from a more preven-
tive, long-term angle. Provide
volunteer and/or financial sup-
port to the areas organizations
and projects that steer people
away from criminal behavior.
Or that help to rehabilitate
them when they slip.
Champion drug-and-alcohol
treatment centers. Make get-
ting a high school degree, and a
college diploma, a priority for
the children in your life. Pitch
in for parent-teacher groups
and at after-school programs.
Be a booster for mentorship-
style initiatives such as Big
Brothers/Big Sisters and
Scouting.
Alternatively, you could stay
mum on this subject and do
nothing, convincing yourself
that what goes on in your com-
munity even your courthouse
is largely out of your control.
But for that line of thinking,
there truly is no defense.

Gene Stilp, a political activ-
ist known for bringing his in-
flatable pink pig to protest ex-
cessive government spending,
announced Monday he will
seek the Democratic Partys
nomination for Congress from
the newly restructured 11th
Congressional District.
Republican U.S. Rep. Lou
Barletta is the freshman in-
cumbent seeking reelection-
.Stilp has publicly battled
against utilities and legislative
pay raises. A resident of Mid-
dle Paxton Township, Dauphin
County, the 61-year-old said
the recent redrawing of con-
gressional boundaries extend-
ed Barlettas district into much
of areas known to him: Dau-
phin and Cumberland counties
as well as southeastern Perry
County.
My main reason for running
is because I can be productive
as far as producing jobs, jobs,
jobs, Stilp said. I want to as-
sure that nothing is taken away
from the 11th District.
We need a strong voice in
Washington, he said. I want
to go after the abuses in Wash-
ington and focus on strength-
ening the economy.
Stilp said he would encour-
age other candidates to enter
the 11th District race. Wilkes-
Barre attorney WilliamVinsko,
who lives in the 17th District,
has announced he also will
seek the Democratic nomina-
tion.
Former 10 District U.S. Rep.
Democrat Chris Carney of Di-
mock Township is also mulling
a run in the 11th District.
The11th District includes all
or parts of nine counties:
Wyoming, Luzerne, Carbon,
Columbia, Montour, Northum-
berland, Dauphin, Perry and
Cumberland.
Stilp was a leading critic of
the state Legislature, opposing
the 2005 pay raises. He won
part of the state Supreme
Court case against the method
used to award the raises. He is
known for bringing a 25-foot
inflatable pink pig to protests.
I think I might need a big-
ger pig, he said. Harrisburg
has its problems, but Washing-
ton has a lot more.
In 2010, Stilp lost by 314
votes when he ran in the states
largely Republican 104th Leg-
islative District. He also ran
for lieutenant governor in
2006.
He was born and raised in
the Hazleton area and gradu-
ated from Kings College,
Wilkes-Barre. He received his
juris doctorate degree fromthe
George Mason School of Law,
Arlington, Va.
Ive proved my ability
through my activism, Stilp
said. I dont look at the 11th
District as red or blue I look
at it as red, white and blue. I
will fight for all residents of the
district, regardless of party af-
filiation.
Lance Stange, campaign
manager for Barletta, said any-
one who meets both the ballot
access requirements and the
minimum qualifications
spelled out in the U.S. Consti-
tution is able to seek the office
of representative.
Lou Barletta continues to
receive overwhelming support
from Republicans, Democrats
and Independents in both the
current and future 11th Dis-
trict, Stange said, noting Bar-
letta advocates government ef-
ficiency and opposes illegal im-
migration. He is grateful for
that support, and he looks for-
ward to the 2012 election.

Mountain Top. Pashinski easily
defeated Republican James
OMeara in 2010, but his dis-
trict was redrawn since then to
include some of the Republi-
can-heavy townships in the
Mountain Top area.
In the 120th District, Phyl-
lis Mundy, D-Kingston, may
face a challenge from Republi-
can Aaron Kaufer, a 20-some-
thing from Kingston. Mundy,
the longest-serving member of
the House from Luzerne Coun-
ty, turned aside challenges
from Republican Bill Golds-
worthy and Libertarian Tim
Mullen two years ago to secure
her 11th term in Harrisburg. A
message left with Kaufer was
not returned.
No one has expressed an in-
terest to party leaders or The
Times Leader yet about facing
the countys three other incum-
bents. But petitions with the re-
quired number of signatures do
not need to be filed until Feb.
14, so theres plenty of time for
unconfirmed candidates to col-
lect the necessary signatures to
get their names on the April 24
primary ballot.
For state House seats, 300
valid signatures are required.
For state Senate seats, 500 val-
id signatures are required.
Arnold and Mailloux said
they believe change is needed
in Harrisburg and arent happy
with the direction the state has
gone in.
Fairview Township, where
Mailloux resides, had been in
the 119th District, but was re-
districted into the 121st. Mail-
loux said he would have run re-
gardless of what district he
lived in.
As I look at the state, Imjust
not happy with where we are,
he said. Mailloux said he would
bring his knowledge of small
business and municipal hard-
ships to Harrisburg.
Arnold said its a daunting
task to run against an incum-
bent, but he believes his name
recognition from the past elec-
tion will help this time around.
There were unsubstantiated
reports that Republican Tarah
Toohil, a freshman representa-
tive from Butler Township who
scored perhaps the biggest up-
set in the state in 2010 by
knocking off state House Ma-
jority Leader Todd Eachus,
wouldface a challenge fromfor-
mer Luzerne County Commis-
sioner Maryanne Petrilla, a fel-
low Butler Township resident.
But Luzerne County Demo-
cratic Party Chairwoman
Kathy Kane said Petrilla indi-
cated she would not run. Ef-
forts to reach Petrilla were un-
successful.
Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca,
whose 118th district was shift-
ed from Luzerne and Monroe
counties to Luzerne and Lacka-
wanna counties, has yet to have
a Republicansay he or she is go-
ing to wage a challenge. Nei-
ther Lackawanna County GOP
Chairman Lance Stange nor his
counterpart in Luzerne Coun-
ty, Terry Casey, said they had
heard of any candidates ready
to take on Carroll.
And Kane said she hasnt
heard of any Democrats dis-
cussing mounting a campaign
against Rep. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, or State Sen.

trial, and they dont know if they
will ever be compensated. That
matter is being reviewed by a fed-
eral judge, he said.
Flora and Ruzzo are each em-
ployed part-time by the Luzerne
County Public Defenders Office,
Flora as chief and Ruzzo as an as-
sistant public de-
fender. Flora said
work on the Ciava-
rella appeal will be
performed on their
own time.
We will be doing
it on nights and weekends, not
during the day. I still have a pub-
lic defenders office to run, Flora
said.
Ciavarella first filed for indi-
gent status in August, claiming
he had less than $500 cash avail-
able andthat he ownednoreal es-
tate, stock or bonds. His only as-
set at the time was a car, whichhe
said was virtually valueless.
Ciavarella is entitled to recoup
roughly $180,000 in contribu-
tions he made to his judicial pen-
sion, but the State Employees
Retirement System has not yet
released the money pending a fi-
nal determination on his eligibil-
ity, Flora said.
Even if SERS agrees Ciavarella
can recoup the money, the funds
must be placed in an escrow ac-
count until a decision is made
about whether the government
can seize the funds to pay part of
the $2.17 million restitution or-
der issued against him in the
criminal case.
Federal prosecutors haveprevi-
ouslyexpressedconcernthat Cia-
varella diverted money to family
members. They questioned Cia-
varellas transfer of money from
the sale of his Wright Township
home to his daughter, Lauren
Stahl, who used part of the mon-
ey to purchase a townhome in
Kingston. Nocourt actionwas ev-
er taken regarding that matter,
however.
Flora said he expects public out-
cry over the courts decision, but
the Constitution guarantees repre-
sentation to any defendant who
cannot afford to pay an attorney.
Its not going to be popular
withthe public, but inmany ways
the public doesnt believe in the
constitutional right to court-ap-
pointed counsel, Flora said. Its
hard to convince the public that
certain rights exist under the
Constitution.

Marcellus Shaledata havecaused
headaches for Senate and House
staff members whohave beentry-
ing to make accurate projections
about how much revenue an im-
pact fee on wells might generate
for local governments, the news-
paper reported Sunday.
There has been a frustration
over the last six or seven months
that DEP does not have informa-
tion that is always beyond re-
proach, said Drew Crompton,
chief of staff to Senate President
Pro Tem Joe Scarnati, R-Jeffer-
son.
Crompton, who has tried to
make sense of DEPs data as the
Senate began crafting an impact
fee bill last year, said the informa-
tion problems are so befuddling
that it helped delay approval of
the bill. Legislators simply
havent been able to get accurate
projections on the financial im-
pact.
Every time I think Ive got
something locked down, it
changes, said Crompton, who
discovered the same data issues
that the Post-Gazette did.
The paper reportedthat the da-
ta problems span both the Ed
Rendell and Tom Corbett admin-
istrations.
Data collection and reporting
errors were something identi-
fiedthroughthetransitionperiod
in the first few months of Cor-
betts term as governor in early
2011, said DEP spokesman Kevin
Sunday. And its one we hope to
clear up and get more consistent
at.
We acknowledge that there
are issues in both howthe data is
presented and how its coming
in, Sunday told the paper.
Vast stores of natural gas in the
Marcellus Shale formation under
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
and West Virginia have set off a
rush to grab leases and secure
permits to drill using the extrac-
tion technique called hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking.
The DEP says that since 2007
therehavebeenabout 4,200wells
drilled in Pennsylvania, so the
495 missing wells is about a 12
percent error rateondata that are
widely quoted by politicians, en-
vironmentalists and the industry.

Romney is the odds-onfavorite
in New Hampshire, and Hunts-
man as well as other Republicans
who are contesting the state have
generally been content to vie for
second place in hopes of emerg-
ing as his main rival in the South
Carolina primary on Jan. 21.
Secondplacewouldbeadream
come true, said former Pennsyl-
vania Sen. Rick Santorum, who
was a close second in Iowa.
But without money for televi-
sionads he has appearedtostrug-
gle as he seeks to convert that in-
to momentum.
Romney, the former Massa-
chusetts governor, won in Iowa
by eight votes. A victory in New
Hampshire would make him the
first Republican in a contested
presidential nomination battle to
capture the first two races of the
campaign since Iowa began lead-
ing off for the GOP in 1976.
Santorum, Perry and former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich
escalated their attacks on Rom-
neys claim that a background in
business uniquely qualifies him
to help create American jobs.
At the same time, an organiza-
tion that backs Gingrich has
spread the word that it intends to
spend $3.4 million on television
ads in South Carolina that are ex-
pectedtoattackRomney withgus-
to.
Romneys remark about firing
people was the second jarring mo-
ment for the front-runner in the
span of less than 24 hours.
On Sunday afternoon, the mil-
lionaire businessman told an audi-
ence that he understoodthe fear of
being laid off, adding, there were
a couple of times when I was wor-
ried I was going to get pink-
slipped. His aides refused to pro-
vide details.
On Monday morning, address-
ing the Nashua Chamber of Com-
merce, he said he wants individu-
als to be able to choose among dif-
ferent health insurance policies as
they seek coverage.
That means theinsurancecom-
panywill haveanincentivetokeep
you healthy. It also means if you
dont like what they do, you can
fire them, he said.
I like being able to fire people
who provide services to me. If
someone doesnt give me the good
service I need, Im going to go get
somebody else to provide that ser-
vice to me, he added.
Afewhours later, inapreviously
unscheduledappearancebeforere-
porters, Romney emphasized he
had been talking about insurance
companies.
As for once fearing he would be
fired, he said, I came out of
school, and I got an entry-level po-
sition like the other people that
were freshly minted MBAs, and
like anybody that starts at the bot-
tom of an enterprise you wonder,
when you dont do so well, wheth-
er youre going to be able to hang
onto your job.
Romney has said his firm, Bain
Capital, created 100,000 jobs on
balance as it started some firms
while taking over, remaking and
then spinning off others.
Gingrich told one interviewer
during the day that Bain Capital
apparently looted the companies,
left peopletotallyunemployedand
walked off with millions of dol-
lars.
He wasnt asked for details.
Santorum repeated his Iowa
message. Give us an opportunity
tobetheconservativealternative,
he said.
He sidestepped questions about
his proposal toreduce or eliminate
Social Security benefits for
wealthier beneficiaries, sayingef-
forts by reporters to obtain spe-
cifics were gotcha games.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul cam-
paigned lightly in the state. He
unveiled a new television ad in
South Carolina that took aim at
Santorum, calling him another
serial hypocrite who cant be
trusted.

Market Street, Wilkes-Barre.
The video is instate police custo-
dy to be forensically analyzed.
Police said Jennifer Miecz-
kowski, 30, of Nanticoke, was as-
saulted by an unknown female
with a box cutter inside the tav-
ern at about 2 a.m. on Jan. 1.
Mieczkowski suffered several se-
vere slash wounds to her face
and neck.
Mieczkowski said she went in-
to the tavern with her friend,
Ricky Wells, 30, of Mountain
Top, to buy beer to take home.
While she was talking to friends
inside, a fight broke out and a
woman slashed Mieczkowski nu-
merous times in the face and
neck, police said.
Mieczkowski said the slash on
her neck was a half-inch away
from the carotid artery. She un-
derwent emergency surgery at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center, Plains Township,
and will need further medical
procedures on her face.
Shultz said police are actively
investigating the vicious assault.
The District Attorneys Office is
assisting the investigation along
with the state police Bureau of
Liquor Control Enforcement to
determine if the tavern can be
closed as a nuisance bar.
An estimated 20 people who
were inside the tavern have been
questioned by investigators.
Mieczkowski estimated there
were 50 people present, and she
criticized the patrons for not
coming to her aid.
Wells, who Mieczkowski said
did come to her aid, was dragged
outside and beaten with a pool
stick. He suffered a broken jaw,
police said.
According to the search war-
rant affidavit:
A state police liquor enforce-
ment officer conducted an in-
spection inside the tavern on
Jan. 4 andobservedinterior cam-
eras affixed at various locations.
Halliday told the enforcement
officer the surveillance system
was within a roomin the kitchen
area. After the fight on Jan. 1,
Halliday allegedly told the en-
forcement officer he removed
the (surveillance) system and
gave it to his lawyer, Yelen.
The District Attorneys Office
contacted Yelens office on Jan. 4
requesting the surveillance
equipment to have it examined
by the state police computer
crimes unit. Two days after the
request, police and the District
Attorneys Office obtained the
search warrant for Yelens office
after they did not receive a re-
sponse, the search warrant affi-
davit says.
Yelen did not return a message
for comment, and Halliday could
not be reached at the tavern on
Monday.
SEIZED
the district and township officials
last weekabout the completionof
the line, though many were dis-
pleased with the short notice.
Helen Humphreys, senior com-
munications specialist for Wil-
liams, saidnatural gasbeganflow-
ing through to the Transco line
Monday afternoon.
Resident Jane Tolomello re-
peatedly asked Superintendent
Frank Galicki why parents we-
rent notified about the expected
work last week, as Galicki had re-
ceived the letter before most resi-
dents.
Galicki said that at the time
emergency officials had deemed
the work to not be a hazardto stu-
dents. He said he received a call
from Dallas Township Emergen-
cy Management Coordinator
Jack Dodson on Sunday evening
about the continuation of the
work through Monday, and Gal-
icki said he immediately took
steps tocontact all parents within
the district.
Also, Humphreys announced
she and Williams safety expert
Paul Madey would be participa-
ting in a safety task force with
board member Fred Parry, Dod-
son, Dallas Fire Chief Harry Vi-
vian and Dallas Township Police
Chief Robert Jolley.
Parents questioned whether
thedistrict hasanevacuationplan
to deal with natural gas issues.
Galicki said a general plan is in
place, but thesafetytaskforcehas
been established to further devel-
op the emergency response plan.
He said the task force will contin-
ue to meet to further discuss this
plan.
While Galicki told residents
that input will be neededfromthe
township emergency manage-
ment officials, Dodson said the
district must come up with a plan
of its own before emergency re-
sponders can intervene. Well
giveguidelines, but wecant write
your emergency plan, he said. It
starts at the bottom. The faculty
here have to be trained.
Parry also said the emergency
plan involving gas issues needs
time to be researched. You cant
even think about buses, because
buses will be emitting sparks, he
said.
Resident Wendy Cominsky
suggested the board ask for a mo-
ratorium on all activities on the
pipeline until the district can im-
plement andpracticeanemergen-
cy evacuation plan.
Another resident, Kerry Anne
Daley, asked what the board will
do when it can no longer depend
on the information provided by
Williams.
Board President Catherine We-
ga saidthe boardcanonly contact
agenciesonthelocal andstatelev-
els to address the issue. I dont
know how far it goes she said. I
knowyoure frustratedandwe are
too.
Dodson said the township is
planning an up-to-date website
that will notify residents about
routine work on the pipeline, and
thedistrict will alsobepart of that
notification process. Galicki said
that once the district is aware of
routine work, parents will also be
notified in some way.
In other business, parents ad-
dressed the board about its deci-
sion to open the position of head
football coach, whichTedJackson
Sr. has held for 27 years.
JimRoccograndi saidhefelt the
hiringpanel wouldbe biased, as it
is composed of a group of people
who chose to openJacksons posi-
tion. He also questioned Galicki
about howmuchwas spent onthe
advertising campaign for Jack-
sons position.
Business Manager Grant Palfey
said about $6,500 was spent on
the legal advertising of the posi-
tion. Galicki added that inter-
views will be held Thursday and
Saturday for head football coach
and weightlifting coach.
Deb Roccograndi questioned
why the boardhas not openedthe
in-school fitness facility for stu-
dents to work out during the off-
season. Galicki said the facility
will be open next Monday from 3
to 6 p.m. for all students. He said
the field house weight room will
not be open until a weightlifting
coach could be hired.
Another parent, Karen Cooper,
toldtheboardabout asituationin-
volving her 14-year-old son, Sean,
which happened in November.
She said he was beaten and un-
conscious at the high school be-
fore anyone noticed or called 911.
Galicki confirmed the incident.
Cooper said her son now has
frequent migraines and emotion-
al problems. She said her son
heard the student who attacked
him planned to bring a knife to
school and kill him, and she
pleadedwiththeboardtostart us-
ing the brand-new metal detec-
tors at the school and hire extra
staff to man the area in which her
son was assaulted.
Galicki said the detectors will
be in use by the second semester.

O
ne week, hes hurdling Cow-
boys.
The next, hes flattening Fal-
cons.
And it really doesnt matter to Henry
Hynoski which role hes performing for
the New York Giants.
Just as long as hes doing it in the
NFL.
I dont care, as long as we get the
W, Hynoski said. If I have to run the
iso (isolation) block sometimes 50
times a game, Ill do that.
He is a do-it-all fullback for the Gi-
ants now, a guy counted on more to
make crunching blocks than crashing
runs.
He is not the same player who ran
for 7,165 yards and scored 113 touch-
downs at Southern Columbia High
School, although Hynoski can be if
given the chance.
He made four catches out of the
backfield against Dallas during an NFC
East Division-clinching victory. And
one of those receptions included an
athletic leap over embarrassed Cow-
boys cornerback Terence Newman that
went for a 14-yard gain and drew admi-
ration from Hynoskis teammates.
They may have been shocked.
But anyone who watched Hynoski
rush for 2,407 yards and 42 touch-
downs during his fourth and final high
school season as the featured back for
the Tigers barely blinked.
The real wonder isnt what Hynoski
can do with the football in his hands.
The mystery is why he hasnt touched
it more.
Although hes made 12 receptions for
83 yards during his first NFL season,
the Giants havent given Hynoski a
single carry.
No matter to him, hes helped carry
New Yorks Super Bowl hopes in other
ways.
Hynoski made one of those one-on-
one blocks he was talking about down
near the goal line in Sundays NFC wild
card playoff game at MetLife Stadium,
and it gave the Giants life. Especially
when tailback Brandon Jacobs spun
through the huge hole created by Hy-
noskis bruising block on Atlanta safety
James Sanders on a fourth-and-one
play.
The very next play, Hynoski was
blocking a Falcons lineman, making
sure his quarterback Eli Manning had
enough time to find Hakeem Nicks
with a four-yard touchdown toss and
the Giants were off and running to a
24-2 victory that set up a showdown
with Green Bay.
I always wanted to be in the NFL,
said Hynoski, from Elysburg, who
splits time with Bear Pascoe while
leading top running backs Jacobs and
Ahmad Bradshaw through running
lanes. I didnt care how I had to do it. I
had to take a different path (than in
high school) to get here. But thats all
thats important to me.
His path changed when he played
college football a Pitt, where Hynoski
began punishing defenders as a block-
ing fullback for the Panthers.
He was passed up in Aprils NFL
Draft. But given his ability as a batter-
ing ram, and with his soft hands out of
the backfield, the son of Henry and
Kathy Hynoski figured the Giants
would be a perfect fit when he signed
with them as a rookie free agent this
summer.
It was really a no-brainer for me to
sign with the Giants, Hynoski said.
They needed a fullback and their
traditional fullback was always the type
of player I am a hard blocker who can
catch the ball out of the backfield.
Hes hoping to make one more big
catch during his rookie season.
I came here because I believe we
can win championships, Hynoski said.
As the past couple weeks showed,
hell block anything in his path on the
way to one.

Alabama (12-1) had put it away before

ters to make it 15-0, matching an all-bowl

an extra-point attempt.
But this time, the missed kicks didnt
matter to the Tide.
The Tigers (13-1) and Tide met on Nov.
5 in what was dubbed the Game of the
Century, and the Tigers won a touch-
down-less, defensive standoff, 9-6 inover-
time. Alabama went 2 for 6 on field goals
in Tuscaloosa.
Richardson, the Heisman Trophy final-
ist, ran for 96 yards on 20 carries and of-
fensive player of the game A.J. McCarron
passed for 234 yards as the Tide had no
problem moving against LSUs second-
ranked defense in the nation just not
into the end zone.
Alabamas top-ranked defense didnt
need much help. With All-American line-
backer Donta Hightower leading the
way, the Tide held LSU to 92 total yards
and five first downs.
For the Tide, its the second BCS cham-

coach Nick Saban, who also won a title at
LSU in 2003.

Coughlins Kayla Eaton, left, looks to pass out of the corner as Pittston Areas Kristen Fereck
applies pressure in a WVC Division I girls basketball game in Yatesville on Monday night.
Asked to run down his sched-
ule for the next few weeks, Bill
OBrien came to a quick realiza-
tion.
Wont be a lot of sleep, Penn
States new head coach said.
With OBrien splitting time
between the Nittany Lions and
his job as offensive coordinator
of the New England Patriots this
month, there wont be much
time for rest.
But, he said, well get going
with Penn State and recruiting
and making sure we put our staff
in place, where they need to be
to succeed.
First, that means assembling a
staff. And quickly.
Given the time constraints, it
comes as little surprise that
three new coaches set to join
OBrien at Penn State have all
worked with him in the past..
Buffalo Bills wide receivers
coach Stan Hixon, Central Flor-
ida defensive coordinator Ted
Roof and Ball State offensive line
coach John Strollo are expected
to come aboard with the Lions,
according to the Big Ten Net-
work.
That would bring OBriens
roster of assistants to six, joining
holdovers Larry Johnson and
Ron Vanderlinden along with
newcomer Charles London.
A seventh -- former Texas of-
fensive line coach Mac McWhor-
ter -- was said to be considering
his options.
Penn State will not comment
on a potential hire until a con-
tract is finalized.
Until you get things on paper,
Im not going to release any-
thing, acting athletic director
Dave Joyner said.
Titles for the new coaches
have not been confirmed. Hixon
has coached wide receivers for
nearly 20 years. Roof has been a
defensive coordinator in his last
few stops. Strollo has worked
predominately with offensive li-
nemen and tight ends during his
career.
Roof and Hixon both were on
staff with OBrien during his
time at Georgia Tech. OBrien
coached alongside Strollo and
London at Duke when Roof was
the head coach there.
Of the potential new faces,
Roof, 48, is the most well-
known, having served as the de-
fensive coordinator on Auburns
2010 national championship
team. But after three seasons at
Auburn, Roof left before the Ti-
gers bowl game in December to
take the same position at UCF.
Less than a month later, Roof is
set to switch jobs once again.
OBrien laid the groundwork
for it over the weekend, calling
Roof one of my closest friends.
We didnt win many games,
said OBrien, who was part of a
dismal 1-22 record in two sea-
sons with Roof and the Blue
Devils, But we sure fought as
hard as we could.
Strollo, 57, was on that staff
with OBrien at Duke in 2005
and 2006, coaching tight ends,
then the offensive line during
that span.
A New Jersey native, Strollo
was an offensive lineman at Bos-
ton College. He has spent the
last 30 years as a college coach,
but only four at the FBS level --
three at Duke and this past sea-
son at Ball State.
Hixon coached with OBrien
for five seasons at Georgia Tech
(1995-99). The 54-year-old Flor-
ida native has also been a receiv-
ers coach at South Carolina
(1989-92) and LSU (2000-03),
where he helped the Tigers win
a national title in his final sea-
son.
He has spent the past eight
seasons as a receivers coach in
the NFL, working for the Wash-
ington Redskins from 2004-09
and the Bills in 2010 and 2011.
Penn State has made no offi-
cial announcements about in-
coming or outgoing assistant
coaches, other than OBriens se-
lection of Johnson on Saturday.
But as reports of new hires
come in, it means many of the
coaches who comprised Joe Pa-
ternos final staff will be depart-
ing. One of those assistants, safe-
ties coach Kermit Buggs con-
firmed Monday that he will not
be retained. As for the rest of the
group -- including long-time de-
fensive coordinator Tom Bra-
dley, who took over as interim
coach following Paternos firing
-- Joyner said they would all be
given consideration.
Ive made that known to all of
the coaches, Joyner said. Now,
realistically, some may not be
here. Thats the way life is, and
they know that, and weve had
that conversation. I was very
clear that coach OBrien wants
to talk to all of them.

KAPALUA, Hawaii Steve
Stricker always believed experi-
ence would go a long way toward
winning the PGA Tour season
opener at Kapalua.
This wasnt the kind he was
thinking about.
No other player is more accus-
tomed to building a big lead,
blowing a big lead, and then set-
tling down to win. Thats just
what Stricker did Monday in
Maui, when he won the Tourna-
ment of Champions with a final
round that only looked easy on
paper.
Ive been there before. Its not
a great feeling, either, Stricker
said after closing with a 4-under
69 for a three-shot victory over
Martin Laird. Its just the nature
of our game. I realize that, and
Ive gone through it before. It al-
ways seems close, andyoualways
have to perform to get it done.
Ultimately, thats just what he
did.
It took only six holes for himto
see his five-shot lead dwindle to
one. After another mental mis-
take led to bogey, Stricker stood
behind the sixth green staring at
the ground, shakinghis head, dis-
gusted with himself. It was dur-
ing that long walk down the sev-
enth fairway, the Pacific Ocean
on the horizon, when Stricker re-
minded himself that at least he
was still in the lead.
And thats where he stayed.
He buried a 25-foot birdie putt
on the par-3 eighth, hit a pitch to
tap-in range for birdie on the
ninth to build his lead back to
three, and then it was a matter of
hanging on.
It was thefourthtimeinhis last
35 tournaments that he had at
least a four-shot lead at some
point in the final round. At least
they all had the same outcome.
Stricker hit sand wedge to 2 feet
for birdie on the 16th to keep a
two-shot cushion, then birdied
the final hole for the best prize he
could ever imagine.
Along with the winners lei
draped around his neck, his two
daughters 13-year-old Bobbi
Maria and 5-year-old Isabella

committed just 15.
Defense has been our staple
here, Phillips said. (Assistant)
Bob Calarco, thats his baby, nar-
rating our defense. Our kids like
to play defense. Not many high
school players like to do that.
The Warriors scored eight of
the first 10 points in the third
quarter to trim a 20-12 halftime
deficit to 22-20 after Sara Radz-
wilkas 3-pointer from the left
wing. Another driving layup by
Degnan in the final minute of the
third left Wyoming Area a point
behind (23-22).
Thats when Rinehimer took
over. Set up first by Kelly Shep-
tock, then by Ayrin Shortlidge,
the sophomore made consecu-
tive jumpers from the wing. Pa-
lermo added a bucket as the Bull-
dogs scored six unanswered
points to open the final quarter.
Theeffort was there, thats the
big thing, Warriors coach Ryan
Kennedy said. At the half, were
down eight and I asked them to
come out strong and fight back.
We had it to one, but couldnt get
that next basket.
Abby Thornton, who had16 re-
bounds, had a stickback to stem
the tide for the Warriors. Rine-
himer made another jumper with
5:43 remaining to extend Ber-
wicks lead to 31-24, but the Bull-
dogs were held without a field
goal after that.
Thats her second big re-
bounding game, Kennedy said
of Thornton. She was the X-fac-
tor coming into the season, a
sophomore coming into the li-
neup.
The Warriors chipped away,
cutting the lead to three with 12
seconds remaining, but couldnot
complete the comeback.
Palermo had seven rebounds,
and Davenport and Sheptock
each had four steals for Berwick.
Nicole Turner and Blannett
both had eight rebounds, as
Wyoming Area enjoyed a 46-25
edge on the boards.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Going
2-1andstunningthen-undefeated
Green Bay as Kansas Citys inter-
im head coach meant a lot more
than gratification for Romeo
Crennel.
It also persuaded the Kansas
City Chiefs to give the affable de-
fensive specialist a second
chance to be an NFL head coach.
The Chiefs announced Mon-
day that Crennel was the official
replacement for the fired Todd
Haley, removing the interim tag
he bore for the last three weeks of
the season.
The three games had a lot to
do with where we arrived at this
decision, general manager Scott
Pioli said. Some of the things we
saw was a great deal of account-
ability and consistency. There
was also a different energy to the
football team. Alot of it had to do
with those last three games.
Warm and personable, the 64-
year-old Crennel is a sharp depar-
ture from Haley. Often called a
players coach hes been known
to write off mistakes as youthful
indiscretions. Ironically, being
soft with players was a criticism
whenhe was firedafter four years
as headcoachinClevelandwitha
24-40 record.
He was an instant hit with
Chiefs players while serving as
Haleys defensivecoordinator the
past two years. After the Chiefs
beat the Packers 19-14 on Dec. 18
intheir first gamewithCrennel in
charge, the Chiefs chanted his
nickname, RAC! RAC! as they
ran up the tunnel.

the first shortstop to have 30
homers and 30 steals in a season.
In addition to his Little
League, high school and college
coaches, Larkin credited late Mi-
chigan football coach Bo Schem-
bechler, who recruited himout of
Cincinnati and then redshirted
him as a freshman.
I was a better football player
than a baseball player at the
time, Larkin said. I just worked
on my baseball talent, just that
alone. That was an eye-opener
because I got so much better.
Jack Morris was second with
382 votes (67 percent), missing
by 48 votes on his 13th try but up
sharply from54 percent last year.
The pitcher has two chances left
on the BBWAA ballot, and no
player has received such a high
percentage without eventually
gaining election.
Jeff Bagwell was third at 56
percent, followed by Lee Smith
(51percent), TimRaines (49 per-
cent), Alan Trammell (37 per-
cent) and Edgar Martinez (37
percent).
Mark McGwire, 10th on the ca-
reer home run list with 583, re-
ceived 19.5 percent in his sixth
try, down from 19.8 percent last
year and 23.7 percent in 2010
a vote before he admitted using
steroids and human growth hor-
mone.
Bernie Williams received the
most votes (55) among players
who were eligible for the first
time. Bill Mueller got just four
votes and will be dropped in fu-
ture years, along with Juan Gon-
zalez (23) and Vinny Castilla
(six).
Next years ballot figures to be
the most controversial, with Bar-
ry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sam-
my Sosa, Mike Piazza, Craig Big-
gio and Curt Schilling eligible for
the first time.
Larkin got 52 percent when he
appeared on the ballot for the
first time in 2010. He received
the largest single-year percent-
age increase to gain election
since 1948, when pitcher Herb
Pennock was elected with 77.7
percent, a year after finishing
with 53.4 percent.
That was really surprising. I
dont know how things
changed, Larkin said.
He is the 48th Hall of Famer
who spent his entire career with
one major league team and the
third from the Reds, joining
Johnny Bench and Bid McPhee.
Larkin broadcast for MLB Net-
work from 2009-10, then moved
to ESPN last year. Hes a spring
training instructor for the Reds,
and has gone to South Korea and
Brazil as an envoy for Major
League Baseball and the State
Department.

terback for the Denver Broncos
what a great organization, Te-
bow said after his latest shocker
an 80-yard touchdown pass on
the first play of overtime Sunday
to beat Pittsburgh 29-23 in the
wild-card playoffs.
The play, according to Twitter,
spawned a record 9,420 tweets
per second.
Not lost in that flurry was that
Tebow threw for 316 yards and
set an NFL playoff record by av-
eraging 31.6 yards. Thats 316,
as in John 3:16, one of the most-
often cited Bible passages for
Christians, the most widely
searched item on Google for
much of Sunday night into Mon-
day, andthe message Tebowused
to stencil into the eyeblack he
wore when he played college ball
at Florida.
Not that referencing the Bible
or thanking God is anything new
in sports. After NFL games for
years, a small group of athletes
gather around midfield, kneel,
hold hands and pray. That devo-
tion has been largely ignored or
even criticized by media and
fans.
The thing with Tebow is that
he seems more genuinely reli-
gious than most athletes, who
seem to be religious to win
games, said Clifford Putney, au-
thor of the bookMuscular Chris-
tianity: Manhood and Sports in
Protestant America, 1880-1920.
That might help explain why
Tebows gestures are not being
overlooked, but part of an ever-
growing sensation. It started
building when he won the Heis-
man Trophy and two national ti-
tles at Florida, though he was
steepedinstrongreligionwell be-
fore that born in the Philip-
pines to missionary parents.
More recently, he introduced
mass culturetotheart of Tebow-
ing kneeling on one knee, el-
bow perched on the other, fist to
forehead while chaos is erupt-
ing around him. The practice
now has its own website, with
pictures of people Tebowing in a
research lab, in front of the Syd-
ney Opera House, in front of the
Western Wall in Jerusalem, etc.
Entertaining as all that has
been, it has made fans and the
media rethink the way they judge
and cover their sports stars. Re-
porting that a player was includ-
ingtheLordinhis postgameanal-
ysis has long been widely
thought of as trite and inappro-
priate, something to simply skip
over when typing in the quotes.
Tebows five fourth-quarter
comebacks and his four overtime
victories and his steady, genuine,
yet somehow unassuming insist-
ence on bringing God into the
conversation has forced an un-
comfortable question upon those
who want to make it only about
what happens between the lines.
Does God really care about
football?
Not one whit, said Joe Price,
a professor in the religious stud-
ies department at Whittier Col-
lege. But does God care about
people who play football? You be-
tcha.
In a sports season filled with
unsavory stories, Tebow is seen
by many as a sports star who real-
ly could be a role model, contrary
to what Charles Barkley or any-
one else might say.

second-half deficit to beat West
Virginia 64-57 on Monday night.
Andre Drummond added 20
points and 11 boards for UConn
(13-3, 3-2 Big East), which
snapped a a two-game losing
streak.
Kevin Jones, the Big Easts
leading scorer and rebounder,
had 22 points for West Virginia
(12-5, 3-2).
Connecticut, which lost at
Seton Hall and Rutgers last
week, dropped nine spots in the
Top 25 on Monday. The Husk-
ies have not lost three straight
since March 2010.
UConn trailed 46-36 with just
over 11 minutes left before a
dunk by Lamb sparked a Husk-
ies run. A steal and a dunk by
Ryan Boatright tied the score at
48 and Lambs 3-pointer put the
Huskies ahead with just over 5
minutes left.
Lamb had 17 points after
intermission. He had just eight
points in UConns loss to Rutg-
ers, ending a streak of 25 con-
secutive games in double fig-
ures.
A driving dunk from Drum-
mond along the left baseline
made it 53-49 and forced West
Virginia coach Bob Huggins to
call a timeout.
The Mountaineers tied it at
55 on a dunk by Jones.
Lambs jumper with 2 1/2
minutes left put the Huskies up
for good, 57-55. The Huskies
led 58-57 when Drummond
rebounded a miss by Lamb. His
short putback gave the Huskies
a 60-57 lead with 1:18 left.
UConns freshman center hit
nine of his 11 shots.
Connecticut scored the first
six points of the second half to
erase a five-point deficit, but
Jones responded with two put-
back baskets that sparked a 13-2
West Virginia run that gave it a
10-point lead.
Darryl Truck Bryant, who
came in averaging more than 18
points a game, hit just two of
his 13 shots for West Virginia,
which shot 32 percent from the
floor.
UConn shot 55 percent, but
was outrebounded 38-32 as
the Mountaineers grabbed 20
offensive boards.
Lamb had five early points,
and Drummond two dunks as
UConn jumped out to a quick
9-4 lead, but West Virginia re-
sponded by scoring the next
six.
Jones, who came into the
game averaging almost 20
points and 12 rebounds per
game, scored eight straight
points, on two 3s and a layup,
to give the Mountaineers a
21-16 lead. Jones, who was be-
ing guarded much of the time
by Drummond, was able to step
outside on UConns big men.
He hit three of his first five
shots from 3-point range.

With the scored tied 1-1 in
the second, there was a scrum
in front of the Vancouver net
and Luongo ended up on his
back during a flurry of shots.
Goc was finally able to poke in
the puck at 10:52. Kris Ver-
steeg got an assist on the play
to break a season-high four-
game pointless streak.
Wiese gave the Canucks a
1-0 lead at 3:11 of the first
period. Manny Malhotra
brought the puck down along
the boards, then passed from
the left circle to Weise, who
put the puck into an open net
on Clemmensens glove side.
The Panthers tied it at 5:00
of the second on Kulikovs
goal. Goc took a shot from the
right circle that was turned
aside by Luongo. The puck
bounced out to the left circle
and Kulikov took a slap shot
that beat Luongo on the short
side.

Goc scores winner to lift Panthers
In a bowl season filled with
high-scoring games, the top two
defenses in the nation set the
tone at the BCS title game. And
much like the first meeting, spe-
cial teams were pivotal.
The Tides defense was dom-
inant and linebacker C.J. Mosley
had the first takeway of the game
in the third quarter, his last play
of the game as it turned out.
LSUs Jordan Jefferson started
to scramble toward the line, but
at the last second flipped the ball
toward Spencer Ware. Problem
was, Ware had turned to block
and Mosley snagged the ball and
set up Alabama at the Tigers 27.
Mosley was twisted down to
the turf by Jefferson and his left
leg bent awkwardly. The sopho-
more stayed down for several
minutes and as the medical staff
worked on him Alabama fans
chanted his first name. As he was
carted off, sitting up on the back
of a golf cart, he got a huge ova-
tion and pumped his fist.
Alabama couldnt convert the
field position into points as Shel-
ley dropped to 4 for 6 on the day,
missing wide right on a 41-yarder
with 5:38 left in the third.
Thenext timedown, hebooted
a 44-yarder, givinghimmore field
goals than any kicker has ever
had in a college bowl game. His
seven attempts were also a re-
cord.
The Tide faked a 49-yard at-
tempt early in the second quarter
and went with a shovel pass to
backup tight end Chris Under-
wood that gained 4 yards. He re-
ached the first-down marker by
the nose of the football.
The drive didnt last much
longer and Shelleys 42-yard at-
tempt was blocked by LSUdefen-
sive tackle Michael Brockers.
Shelley came back to make one
from34 yards with4:24 left inthe
half, andfrom41yards as time ex-
pired in the first half.
Alabama opened the second
half with another solid drive that
stalled, but Shelley tacked on an-
other 3-pointer from 35 yards.
LSUs offense was shut down
completely. The Tigers managed
two first downs and 66 yards
through three quarters. The
Tide, led by linebackers Court-
ney Upshaw and Mosley, gave
Jefferson no space to run the op-
tionandonlyshort gains whenhe
passes.
It was Alabamas special teams
that struck first in the first BCS
title game to match teams from
the same conference.

Mohegan faces debt crunch
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Au-
thority, which owns casinos in Plains
Township and Connecticut and wants
to expand into Massachusetts, may
have to pay double its current interest
rate to replace a bank credit line matur-
ing in March.
Mohegan, of Uncasville, Conn., was
unable to refinance $1.64 billion of debt
last year and has until March 9 to ad-
dress a $675 million maturity on its
bank line.
Mohegan is rated Caa3 by Moodys
and CCC by Standard & Poors, so
banks would charge it 8 percent to 9
percent interest on new loans, accord-
ing to Susan Berliner, a credit analyst
at JPMorgan in New York.
Consumer borrowing leaps
Americans increased their borrowing
in November by the largest amount in
a decade, taking out more loans to buy
cars and plunking down their credit
cards to purchase holiday gifts.
The Federal Reserve says total con-
sumer borrowing rose $20.4 billion in
November, the largest increase since a
$28 billion gain in November 2001.
A category that measures credit card
debt rose by $5.6 billion, the most
since March 2008.
Another category that tracks auto
loans increased $14.8 billion.
Fiat, Chrysler to merge
Fiat plans to merge with Chrysler
Group by the end of 2014 after reac-
hing an agreement with the United
Auto Workers unions retiree health-
care trust regarding its 41.5 percent
holding in the U.S. automaker.
Chrysler expects to report a profit of
about $600 million for 2011, a forecast
it boosted from a range of $200 million
to $500 million in October. The out-
look excludes costs associated with
paying back U.S. and Canadian govern-
ment loans as part of the companys
2009 bankruptcy.
GM may reclaim sales title
General Motors Co. is on track to
retake the title of worlds top-selling
automaker, riding strong sales in the
U.S. and China to beat Volkswagen and
Toyota.
GM, which lost the crown to Toyota
in 2008 after holding it for more than
seven decades, is on pace to finish 2011
at around 9 million cars and trucks, at
least 800,000 more than its German
and Japanese rivals.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2012

WELL, ACTUALLY,
theyre inNevada, and
youcant have them
yet.
The Consumer
Electronics Showis
just gettingunder way
inLas Vegas. CES, as
its more commonly known, is a show-
case of all the hottest electronics current-
ly under development.
Topelectronics manufacturers from
aroundthe worldshowoff all of their
latest TVs, phones, tablets, computers
andgadgets ingeneral, andwhenven-
dors offer live streams fromtheir booths,
all gadget lovers candois drool with
envy over all of the thinner, lighter,
cooler, more powerful things they cant
get their hands on.
Amongsome of the highlights: a slew
of newTVs fromLG, a gaggle of cameras
fromCanon, andtablets, routers and
laptops galore.
Theres just one bit of dust onthis rosy
picture of electronic intrepidity, andits a
bigone: Microsoft.
Claimingthat its development cycle is
not compatible withthe CESshow, and
notingthat its releases are often
drownedout by a cacophony of other
vendors andproducts at CES, Microsoft
has saidthis year will be its last as a
participatingvendor.
Andits not that it doesnt have any-
thingtotalkabout -- Windows 8, Win-
dows Phone 7.5, a newX-Box-- say what
youwill about the megacorporation, its
got things inthe pipeline that people
want tosee.
It alsohas a point.
I may not be a grizzled, veteranreport-
er, but Ive beenkeepingenoughof an
eye onthe industry toknowthat a sub-
stantial portionof the most buzz-worthy
products tendtodisappear or just plain
dont generate any enthusiasmoutside
the industry. SofromMicrosofts stand-
point, it doesnt make sense torushits
products or invest capital inthe show
whenit canfocus onother methods of
marketing.
Andtheres a really simple reasonthat
this is a goodidea: AlthoughCESis fairly
glamorous, at the endof the day, its still
a trade showproducts are beingre-
viewedandplayedwithby industry
people, andwhat is most impressive to
themmight fall flat withthe consumer.
Maybe Microsoft is goingtouse the
Apple example -- why announce or show
off products at a trade showwhenyou
cangive your products the Steve Jobs
treatment?

CHICAGO -- Surging prices for
oil and gas shales, in at least one
case rising10-fold in five weeks, are
raisingconcernof a bubble as valua-
tions of drilling acreage approach
the peak set before the collapse of
Lehman Brothers Holdings.
Chinese, FrenchandJapaneseen-
ergy explorers committed more
than $8 billion in the past two
weeks to shale-rock formations
from Pennsylvania to Texas after
2011 set records for international
average crude prices and United
States gas demand. As competition
among buyers intensifies, overseas
investors are paying top dollar for
fields where too few wells have
been drilled to assess potential pro-
duction, said Sven Del Pozzo, a se-
nior equity analyst at IHS Inc.
Marubeni Corp., the Japanese
commoditytrader, last weekagreed
to pay as much as $25,000 an acre
for a stake in Hunt Oil Co.s Eagle
Ford shale property in Texas. In the
Utica shale of Ohio and Pennsylva-
nia, deal prices jumped 10-fold in
five weeks to almost $15,000 an
acre, according to IHS figures.
The worlds largest energy pro-
ducers, including Exxon Mobil and
Royal DutchShell, are revisitingon-
shore U.S. prospects passed by in
recent decades in favor of deep-wa-
ter finds inWest Africa andthe Gulf
of Mexico. The buying spree is like-
ly to continue because internation-
al oil producers are eager to amass
reserves in the U.S., which sur-
passed Russia in 2010 as the worlds
largest source of gas, said Christian
ONeill, ananalyst at Bloomberg In-
dustries in Princeton, N.J.

D
ALLAS-- TheFriendlys restaurant
andice creamshopat the intersec-
tionof routes309and415inDallas
closed for business Sunday night and will
not reopen.
Acorporate spokeswomanfor the Mas-
sachusetts-based chain restaurant attri-
buted the closing to underperformance
and a high rent.
Since entering Chapter 11 in October
2011, the Company has sought to work
with our landlords to restructure lease ar-
rangements at locations where we be-
lievedrents didnot reflect current market
conditions and were significantly impact-
ing the viability of underperforming res-
taurants, Maura Tobias said. While we
wereabletosuccessfullyrestructurelease
agreements for a number of locations, un-
fortunately, wewereunabletoreachanac-
ceptable
agreement
for the loca-
tion in Dal-
las, Route
309 &415.
When it
filed for
bankruptcy
protection,
the chain
said it planned to close 63 locations. A
Friendlys in South Abington Township,
Lackawanna County, also closed Sunday.
Tobias said there were about 20 em-
ployeesat thelocation, whichopenedJan.
1, 1986. Prior to being a Friendlys, the
4,053-square-foot building housed an El-
bys restaurant.
We regret that this decision has be-
come necessary, and we appreciate the
hardworkanddedicationof theFriendlys
employeesandintendtoaccommodateas
many as possible at nearby operating res-
taurants, where available.
Dallas Mayor Tim Carroll said he was
surprisedtohear of theclosingandhoped
that the building owner had another ten-
ant lined up.
Its certainly disappointing to see any
business close, Carroll said, noting that
the restaurant occupies a large building
right on the main stretch entering town.
It was such a vital part of the communi-
ty.
Tobias did not offer any details on the
status of the Friendlys locations in
Wilkes-Barre, Hazle Township or Dun-
more.
The building, according to county tax
records, is owned by Friendly Silverman
Holdings of White Plains, N.Y. Efforts to
find a listing for that company were un-
successful.

We're tracking a
stormover Texas
that will move
northeast and
produce a wintry
mix for our
region on
Wednesday
evening followed
by rain on
Thursday. As the
stormpulls away
Thursday night,
it will drag down
colder air, chang-
ing the rain
showers to snow
showers and
urries for
Thursday night
and Friday. At
this point, it
doesn't look like
a lot of snow, but
a coating or a lit-
tle more will be
possible in spots.
Colder air will
remain over the
region right
through the
weekend.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A potent low pressure system will bring showers and thunderstorms from the
southern Plains to the Gulf Coast today, with strong to severe thunderstorms possible from eastern
Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. Rain may be heavy at times, as well. Meanwhile, a passing cold

Whats new for 2012? For nu-
trition professionals our mother
ship has changed its name. As of
Jan. 1, the AmericanDietetic As-
sociation is now the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics. The
new name better represents the
largest food and nutrition sci-
ence organization in the world. I
like it.
I also like to start the New
Year with bits and pieces of nu-
trition news and products I have
learned about in the past year.
Here are some examples:
A daily multivitamin supple-
ment is still good nutrition in-
surance, according to the Har-
vard School of Public Health. It
is true, experts say, that a good
diet can provide most all the nu-
trients we need. But even diet-
itians dont always eat a good
diet. For instance, most (90 per-
cent) of Americans do not con-
sume adequate amounts of vita-
min D or vitamin E from food
sources alone, the government
reports.
No need for mega-vitamin
therapyhowever. Adailysupple-
ment with a balance of recom-
mended daily allowances
(RDA) for vitamins and miner-
als is sufficient for most of us.
And the United States Pharma-
copeia (USP) seal of approval on
the label is good insurance as
well.
Speaking of vitamin D from
food sources, one (3-ounce)
serving of Monterey Mush-
rooms (fromWatsonville, Calif.)
provides as much vitamin D as
most multivitamin supplement-
s...about 400 IUs. Raw or
cooked, the vitamin D in these
mushrooms is retained, say
their producers. Thats good
news.
And heres a newway to enjoy
garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas)
the high protein legumes
used to make hummus. Fresh
green garbanzo beans are low-
er insodiumthanthe cannedva-
riety. Since they are less mature
(thats why they are green) they
have less starch(carbohydrates)
and more vitamin C than the
canned variety.
Marketed by a company in
California called Califresh, fresh
green garbanzos are available at
stores like Ralphs, Walmart and
Mi Pueblo, according to their
website.
News for pasta lovers. I admit
I was skeptical when I first saw
this product at a food and nutri-
tion exhibition 2 years ago. But
from what I have seen, the
claims for Dreamfields brand
pasta seemto be holding up. Its
real pasta; made with semolina
durum wheat. But unlike other
pastas, Dreamfields contains a
blend of protein and a fiber
called inulin that gives it a lower
glycemic index. This means
that some of the carbohydrates
in this product are not digested
fully which causes a lower rise
blood sugars (glucose). Good
news ... if you still pay attention
to smaller portions.
Probiotic gummies. Pro
means good; biotic refers to
bacteria. Gummies are yum-
my chewables that are often eas-
ier to take than pills. When pro-
biotics flourish in the digestive
tract, nutrients are better ab-
sorbed and bad bugs are held at
bay, research suggests. This par-
ticular gummy form (brand
name Sustenex) delivers a pro-
biotic inaformthat is claimedto
better resist digestion through
the stomach. When more pro-
biotics arrive safely in the lower
intestines, all is well with the
world.
As one writer has said, the
NewYear lies ahead like a spot-
less track of snow. Be careful
howyou tread it, for every mark
will show. Happy 2012.

I had neuropathy for 7 years. They said the nerves would die and I would be in
a wheel chair. I couldnt sleep with the covers on my feet as the burning was
so bad from my feet to half way up my calf. I had electric shocks, pulsating
throbbing pains through my toes and intense numbness. At the same time
my feet to touch felt like ice. I had the Neuropathy Centers treatment done
and now I can sleep at night. I would say I have at least 50% of my feeling
back and seldom have stinging in my toes. I cant sing the praises enough for
the people of the Neuropathy Center. They are so positive!

lots! Marzulli, 38, of Barberton,
Ohio, said earlier this month.
The nice thing about the pro-
gram is that we can rely on each
other for support. I needtoget up
to115pounds toget toa healthier
place.
Trinity Trimmers are divided
into teams of three people. Each
team serves as a support group
and comes together to share Bi-
blereadings andpraytohelpwith
spiritual growth. Each participa-
nt alsosolicits sponsors topledge
money for weight lost or gained.
The components of the pro-
gramare designed to attain three
goals: to improve the physical
health of the participants, to im-
prove the spiritual health of the
participants and to improve the
financial health of the church.
Each Sunday morning, partici-
pants weigh themselves on a
scale the hospital has provided.
Weights are recorded, and a bell,
also provided by the hospital, is
sounded to signal weight loss for
Trimmers and weight gain for
Tubbies.
You can hear the bell through-
out the church, even in the sanc-
tuary, saidBobDurr, 58, of Cuya-
hoga Falls, Ohio. Hopefully, the
sound will inspire others to come
and join the effort.
The first round of the program
it kicked off Jan. 16 and ended
April 24included43Trimmers
and four Tubbies. The Tubbies
gained a collective 9 pounds, and
the Trimmers lost a collective
229 pounds. The church collect-
ed nearly $3,000 from sponsors.
The biggest loser in the group
shed 20 pounds. Three participa-
nts lost between 15 and 19.5
pounds; 10 lost between 10 and
14.5 pounds; eight lost between 5
and9.5pounds; sixlost between1
and 4.5 pounds. Five participants
ended the program with no loss
or gain and eight gained between
1 and 11 pounds.
During the first program, rep-
resentatives of Summa Western
Reserve conducted four hour-
long classes to cover health-relat-
ed issues. The topics were hyper-
tension, respiration (allergies
and asthma), nutrition and a ses-
sionthat includedblood-pressure
checks.
Dr. Robert Kent, president and
chief executive of Summa West-
ernReserve, saidthehospital will
continue to support the program
at Trinity. He is hopeful the part-
nership with Trinity will lead to
other opportunities for outreach.
Were about health care, and
we want to support efforts in the
community that impact people in
a way that helps them improve
their lifestyles, Kent said. Our
goal is to find out what the needs
are in the community and to use
our resources, our time and ex-
pertise to help meet those
needs.
During the current round of
Trinity Trimmers, which began
Nov. 6, the hospital is providing
health-related literature and
plans to offer classes to address
such specific issues as diabetes,
nutrition, hypertension and
heart health.
Tenteams of three make upthe
second round of participants at
Trinity. One participant is Larry
Lee, who co-chairs the program.
Lee said the congregation
thought about waiting to start
the second round until next year
to give people a chance to get
through the holiday season. He
said he believes not waiting was
the right choice because it will
help participants make healthier
choices during a time of year
when people typically gain
weight.
I knowthat, on a personal lev-
el, when Im at parties, I think
about having to weigh in on Sun-
day and I watch what I eat, said
Lee, 48, of Akron. Its amazing
that people have been losing
weight during this holiday sea-
son, when its so easy to put on
pounds.
The Rev. Carl P. Wallace, se-
nior pastor at Trinity, said he was
stunned by the number of times
he heard the bell ring, signaling
weight loss, after Thanksgiving.
I thought somebody haddrop-
ped the bell, but people had ac-
tually lost weight, Wallace said.
This has been a great program.
Its helping us spread the word
that the body of Christ needs to
be healthy.

for each pound lost.
is excited about the way audio,
video, text and a journal for the
appuser canall beseamlesslyin-
tegrated.
The first of her apps is aimed
at dispelling negative thoughts,
through a technique that redi-
rects a persons focus.
I call it anattendingexercise.
It will help a person control and
eliminate their own negative
thinking, she said. If I had
someone in my office, I might
askthemtofocus ontheir shoes
or on the temperature in the
room. We havent been focusing
on those things because weve
been talking. Thought stopping
works the same way.
We treat negative thoughts
as things we want to let fall
away.
The Impact of Food on
Mood app will help educate
people about how what theyre
eating affects the way they feel.
Formost people, Mosacksaid,
a diet high in protein and com-
plex carbohdrates, low in sugar,
caffeine and alcohol will help
balance the neurotransmitters
the body is producing and
make you feel your best.
Some people eat a lot of sim-
ple carbs doughnuts, pas-
tries, candies, sodas. Their bod-
ies arebeingfloodedwithalot of
sugar, a lot of glucose, which
triggers the body to produce
more insulin, Mosack said.
Twenty minutes later, they feel
groggy, impatient and irritable.
Theyve lowered their own
blood sugar.
The complex carbohydrates,
things like sweet poatoes, oat-
meal, brown rice and whole-
grain breads lead the body to
produce serotonin, a feel-good
hormone.
Mosacks food app will in-
clude a journal to help people
keep track of what theyre eat-
ing.
The deep-breathing app will
demonstrate diaphragmatic
breathing, which helps people
get more oxygen to their brains.
The progressive relaxation app
will guide people through tight-
ening and then relaxing their
muscles. If I want you to relax
and tell you to think a peaceful
thought, I could get a certain
amount of relaxation. If I have
you tighten your muscles first
and then relax them, I get much
deeper relaxation, Mosack
said.
Each of the apps will be avail-
able for $2.99. The first one to
launch should be available for
Androidusealreadytoday. It can
be found in the app store, if you
search under Flip Head or
Mosack.

THE RIVER VIEW
IS
SPECTACULAR
Is there a
sturgeon
in the house?
There are ninety-eight
selections on our menu.
Many luscious seafood
dishes, steaks, pasta, salads
& sandwiches, two hundred
imported beers and
desserts too sinful to
mention in print. But
unfortunately, no sturgeon.
If one nibbles on our line,
well let you know.
Come for the fun. Dine Coopers
style...

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Friend
of a Lonely Child
(Nov. 7) complained
his wife didnt like
him befriending the
neighbor boy, Don-
ny, whose father is
terminally ill.
Many years ago, I was that child.
My home life was a mess, and the
neighbors ended up raising me and
teaching me about life. I am posi-
tive the only reason I didnt end up
in prison was the concern of those
people.
Mr. and Mrs. P. taught me man-
ners and work ethic, Mr. and Mrs. M.
schooled me in kindness and compas-
sion, and the local store owner, Mr.
R., taught me economics. Hed never
let my credit go over $3, and hed
charge me a quarter a week if I didnt
pay it off! Here I am at 51, having
never made a credit card interest pay-
ment or taken a loan to term, thanks
to him. I loved those neighbors more
than I loved my own family.
Friend, your wife is right. You
CANT save everyone, but a little
kindness and mentoring can change a
childs life. And all it will cost you is a
little time.
Thankful For Ohio Neighbors
Dear Thankful: Like you, many read-
ers encouraged this man to continue
in his role of father figure. My news-
paper readers comment:
Dear Abby: I have two daughters
who are now grown. Many of their
friends spent a lot of time in our
home and at our dinner table. Many
of them were from troubled back-
grounds. Sharing our home with
others never deprived our daughters
of love and attention. Instead, they
learned the importance of giving.
After the friends grew up I was
surprised and touched when they told
me how much the time we shared had
meant to them. I never realized I was
making a difference.
Abby, Friends wife is blessed
to have such a caring husband. Yes,
sometimes we ARE our brothers
keeper.
Chris in Arizona
Dear Abby: As a single mom of a
son, I was fortunate to have men
around who took him under their
wings. They provided friendship,
male bonding and examples of how a
true man treats a woman. I never fail
to express my thanks to their wives
and family members for allowing
their husbands and fathers to spend
time with my son. Because of it, he
has become a better man and future
husband. Maybe Friend and his wife
can set predetermined times at which
Donny can visit for male companion-
ship.
Proud Mom in Pennsylvania
Dear Abby: As the mother of two
daughters, I didnt have a great deal
of interaction with 10-year-old boys
until my nephew came to stay with
us for an entire summer. His father
was gravely ill and succumbed while
the boy was living with us. As his
mom dealt with the issues concern-
ing his fathers death, our nephew
became a member of our household.
It ended up being a tremendous
experience.
Friends wife needs to open her
heart. Shell be given a wonderful gift
and help a child in the process.
Phylis in North Carolina
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Caring neighbors can help fill void left by childs inattentive parents
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Think
big, and everything will go
smoothly. Youll feel powerful
and move swiftly forward with-
out worry, doubt, bickering or
hesitation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Whats
the use in wondering whether
the gray parts of life are mostly
black or mostly white? You see
each color, tone and mood as
uniquely its own.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Instead
of worrying about whether youll
ultimately be happy or disap-
pointed in the outcome of a proj-
ect, youll view it from a stance
of interest and discovery. Youre
a lighthearted genius.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
ones who love you want to show
you just how much. But they
cant. Its too deep to express.
Just know that your loved ones
have your back if you ever need
them, just like you have theirs.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Dont wait
until youre satisfied with all the
uncertainties to present your
project to the world. That day
will never come. There always
will be unanswered questions.
Thats why you need partners.
Show them what you have.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There
are times when looking back is
helpful, but today you will have
better things to do. Instead of
reliving scenes from your child-
hood, youll create some new
traditions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Its called
a relationship because youre
supposed to be relating to one
another. When that fails to hap-
pen, its something to remedy
right away.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be
brave. Stop your participation in
a less than ideal situation so that
you can focus on attracting what
you really want. Once you let go,
new opportunities will rush in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll be in the energy of
gratitude all day, giving thanks
for the kindnesses that others
extend to you. Your heart opens
a little more with every thank
you that passes your lips.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
parachute was invented more
than a century before the air-
plane so people could escape
burning buildings. The same
behavior that once got you out
of a small disaster will now help
you float freely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
usually spend your time helping
others, learning about the world
and having fun. So todays focus
on making a name for yourself
and finding your place in the
material world may feel strange.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
have no problem letting go
of what is holding you back.
Identifying it is a bit trickier. A
wise friend will give you hints.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 10).
An influx of money and assis-
tance signals that youre on the
right track to creating the year
you envisioned. March brings
a wave of invention and inno-
vation. Income sources open
in April. Paying for childrens
teams or lessons is worthwhile,
and all benefit from this in the
end. June is your lucky month
for love. Leo and Pisces people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 21, 22, 35 and 11.
