Applicants for two Luzerne
County government boards had
to sit at the head table before an
audience of county council
members and citizens Wednes-
day night to answer questions
about why they should be ap-

Its a complete reversal from
past county practice because for-

licly disclose the names and
qualifications
of all citizens
who were con-
sidered for
board posts.

WILKES-BARRE The presi-
dent of thecityfirefighters union
said a special committee of fire-
fighters wanted the city to pur-
chasethreenewfireenginesfrom
a different company thanthe one
selectedback in2005-06.
Union President Mike Bilski
said this week
he spoke to
some of the
men who
served on the
committee,
andhewas told
they favored
American La-
France of Summerville, S.C., not
KME-Kovatch Organization of
Nesquehoning.
These guys are mechanically
inclined; they knowabout heavy
equipment, Bilski said. They
liked features offered by Ameri-
can LaFrance, like turning radi-
us. But I guess KME offered the
same things.
Since it became known last
week that a $1 million donation
was used to fund the purchase,
Mayor Tom Leighton has stood
by his decision to conceal the
nameof thedonor. Hehasoffered
no explanation of why he did not
reveal the donationitself.
Bilski said the fire department
neverknewtheoriginof themon-
ey usedto purchase the trucks.
We had no clue for years, he
said. It was always mentioned
how much money was being
spent on the new engines. All I
know is the committee made its
recommendation, and some-
bodyafterthat madethedecision
to go withKME.
Citys response
Drew McLaughlin, the citys
administrative coordinator, is-
sued a response on behalf of
Leighton:
Despite any firefighters con-
tention to the contrary, seven
Union head differs over fire trucks
He says committee wanted
different company to build
engines using $1M donation.

WILKES-BARRE City police
arrested a man they allege
robbed an employee of Tin-Tin
Chinese restaurant delivering
food in a garden-style apartment
building in the Sherman Hills
apartment complex.
Jafa Leroy McAllister, 24, a na-
tive of Newark, N.J., was appre-
hended when he left his resi-
dence at 134 Barney St. Wednes-
day afternoon, city police said.
McAllister was charged with
assaulting and robbing the deliv-
eryman inside Building 320 on
Jan. 2.
The robbery was one of five re-
ported muggings of employees
delivering Chinese food within
the 22-acre apartment complex
on North Empire Court.
McAllister was arraigned by
District Judge Martin Kane in
Wilkes-Barre on charges of rob-
bery, simple assault and theft. He
was jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of
$25,000 bail.
In an unrelated case, McAllis-
ter was free on $15,000 bail on
firearm charges filed by state po-
lice in Monroe County in Febru-
ary 2011, according to Monroe
County court records.
State police stopped a vehicle
inwhichMcAllister was apassen-
ger on Interstate 80 on Feb. 13.
Anassault riflewithanalteredse-
rial number and loaded maga-
zines were found in the vehicle,
state police allege.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Ronald Snyder, an employee at
Tin-Tin Chinese restaurant in
Wilkes-Barre Township, told po-
lice he arrivedat the buildingand
called the cellphone number that
placed the food order. Snyder
said a woman instructed him to
enter the building.
Police traced the cell number
to Casey Hughes, a tenant in
Building 320.
Hughes told police that when
she approached the deliveryman
McAllister ran upstairs and
pulled him inside the building.
Police said Hughes stated
McAllister punched Snyder,
banged his head off a wall and
stole money and the food.
Hughes said she did not know
McAllister was going to assault
and rob the deliveryman, the
complaint says.
Police said they are continuing
to investigate the robberies of
food delivery employees in Sher-
man Hills on Dec. 26 in Building
328, Dec. 27 inBuilding316, Dec.
28 in Building 320 and the latest

two Nanticoke men to seven
years in prison each for their

distribute more than 400 grams
of heroin and more than 112
grams of crack cocaine from

cording to federal prosecutors.
The two men also allegedly

EXETER -- Debt refinancing could pro-
vide one way for the Wyoming Area School
District to make up some of the nearly $2
million shortfall in the 2012-13 budget, the
school board learned Tuesday.
Representatives from PNC Financial and
the districts business manager, Tom Mel-
one, explained options for refinancing a
2005 bank note that could net the district
savings of $78,000 to $90,000 or more, de-
pending on market conditions at the time
of the refinancing.
Some additional amounts of savings
could be realized over the remaining term
of the refinanced debt, which would be re-
tired in 2012, the board was told.
The discussion came as part of the latest
in a series of budget meetings for the cash-
strapped district. In this session, Melone
walked the board through the districts non-
salary and benefit expenses, such as suppli-
es, utilities and non-staff professional ser-
vices.
During the 1 -hour budget discussion,
the board members questions centered on
understanding which areas of the budget
are required and rigid and which areas can
be targeted for cuts.
Id like the administration and the staff
to look for areas that can be cut, said board
President Frank Casarella. Where can we
look at alternatives, like reconditioning
sports equipment instead of buying new, or
whatever.
The board also held its regular monthly
work session and discussed revisions to the
hiring policy for professional staff. Several
newly elected board members ran on an
anti-nepotism platform and moved quickly
to rework the hiring procedures and policy
for teachers.
Discussion centered on whether all rela-
tives should be completely excluded or
whether some provision should be made to
hire a relative if they are clearly the best
candidate.
There needs to be enough confidence on
the board that we have a tight enough pol-
icy that nepotism becomes a moot point,
said newly elected board member Carl Yori-
na.
If that person is truly the best person for
the job, I dont care if its (Superintendent
Ray) Bernardis kid, he said, adding that
he personally wont vote for a relative.
Personnel Committee Chairperson Mary
Louise Degnan noted that panel will craft
an actual nepotism policy, but revising the
hiring policy is the first step.
Degnan also said all employment policies
will be reviewed in time and her committee
also intends to create a section on the dis-
tricts website for potential employees to
review openings and complete applications.

If Pennsylvania were a student and
the American Lung Association its
teacher, Pennsylvanias parents would
surely be called in for a meeting about
the states grades.
According to the Lung Associations
State of Tobacco Control 2012 report
card, an annual account that tracks key
tobacco control policies at the state and
federal levels, Pennsylvania earned two
C grades and two Fs.
The C grades were for smokefree
air and cigarette tax categories. The
Fs were given for the states tobacco
prevention and control spending and
cessation coverage. They were the
same grades the state received in the
2011 report.
What theyre saying is that nothing
much has changed since last year, said
Alice Dalla Palu, executive director of
Tobacco Free Northeast, who blamed a
lack of increased state funding for the
stall. But its not just Pennsylvania that
has scaled back on prevention efforts,
the report says.

KINGSTON Edwards-
ville police charged a man
Wednesday with assaulting
his 6-week-old son, leaving
the infant with multiple bro-
ken bones and bruises.
Kevin Lee Getz, 25, of
Herman Street, Edwards-
ville, was arraigned before
District Judge Paul Roberts
Jr., Kingston, on two counts
each of aggravated assault,
endangering the welfare of a
child, simple assault and
recklessly endangering an-
other person.
Getz was remanded to Lu-
zerne County Correctional
Facility in lieu of $50,000
cash bail. A preliminary
hearing has been scheduled
for Jan. 25 at 1:30 p.m. in Ro-
berts court.
Edwardsville police offi-
cer Michael Lehman said
the infant survived the at-
tack and is now 6 months
old. The child is being held
in protective custody by Lu-
zerne County Children and
Youth Services. Police said
the alleged crimes occurred
at 501 Roosevelt St.
According to court docu-
ments: The child was taken
to an area hospital with a
swollen leg on Aug. 25 and
was transferred to Geisinger
Medical Center, Danville,
for treatment. The child suf-
fered multiple fractures to
both legs, multiple broken
ribs and bruises, and a med-
ical professional determined
that the injuries were non-
accidental and the result of
child abuse, police said.
Edwardsville police inter-
viewed Getz on Sept. 1 with
a Luzerne County detective
and a state police corporal.
Police said they planned to
administer a polygraph, or
lie-detector, test during that
interview, but beforethetest
began Getz stated he was
the person who caused inju-
ries.

SCRANTON The owner of a
Wilkes-Barre pizzeria said he got
mixed up with street people when
he knowingly sold stolen merchan-
dise valued in excess of $75,000 on
eBay.com for money to help pay bills
in a struggling economy.
Angelo Ricci Jr., 58, of Ashley,
owner of Riccis Pizza on Park Ave-
nue, apologized for selling $75,000
to $100,000 in stolen goods through
his eBay account.
Federal prosecutors allege Ricci
sold the stolen merchandise from Ja-
nuary 2007 to March 2009. He plead-
ed guilty to a single count of mail
fraud for mailing a drill bit he sold to
a man in Maryland in January 2009.
Ricci was not
charged with steal-
ing the items.
His lawyer, Bill
Ruzzo, said he did
not know if there
were any charges
filed against those
who stole the mer-
chandise.
Prosecutors alleged the merchan-
dise was stolen from Target, The
Home Depot, CVS pharmacies, Wal-
mart, Bon-Ton, Rite Aid Pharmacy,
Kohls and Oreck, according to court
records.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard
P. Conaboy sentenced Ricci to 15
months in prison followed by three
years of supervised release. He was
ordered to pay $55,973 in restitu-
tion.
Ricci could have faced a sentence
of 21 to 27 months in prison. Cona-
boy told Ricci to report to prison by
Feb. 12.
Im guilty, I did get stuff I bought
from illegitimate people, Ricci told
Conaboy before he was sentenced. I
really did make a big misstep here. I
was doing fine until some street peo-
ple got a hold of me. I made a big
mistake when I got tangled up with
these people.
Ricci said he began selling items
on eBay to help pay bills when his
business slowed with the struggling
economy.
Nobody here got you in trouble
except yourself, Conaboy said. You
should have known better than to
get caught up with street people.
These people knew they could come
to you to get rid of this stuff.
He understands his wrongdoing
and he has taken responsibility,
said Ruzzo, who along with attorney
Basil Russin represented Ricci. He
comes from a family of hard-working
people.
Riccis family has been in the pizza
business for 50 years.

theirfailurestoprotect children. If
states completely retreat, it will
result in even more tragic human
consequences across America,
saidCharles D. Connor, American
Lung Association president and
chief executive officer.
Most states failedmiserably to
make progress on key tobacco
control policies in 2011, and too
many states have ceded ground,
accordingtoareleaseaccompany-
ing the 150-page report.
According to the report, Penn-
sylvaniawouldnt betheonlystate
required to visit the principals of-
fice.
The state report cards for 2011
wereawashwithFs.Forty-three
states and the District of Colum-
bia earned an F for failing to
fund tobacco prevention and con-
trol programs at needed levels.
Six states received straight
Fs Alabama, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, South Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia. Only four
states Delaware, Hawaii, Maine
andOklahoma receivedall pass-
ing grades, though none received
straight As.
Pennsylvaniawas singledout in
the report for
being the only
statewithout an
excise tax on to-
bacco products
other than ciga-
rettes.
And the asso-
ciation took
Harrisburg to
taskfor inaction
on several key
tobacco mea-
sures, including
a bill to remove
all the exemp-
tions from the
2009 clean in-
door air law
that banned
smoking in
many public
places andwork
places but al-
lowed some
bars, private
clubs and sec-
tions of casinos
to permit smok-
ing. Thebill was
introduced in
both the state
House of Repre-
sentatives and
Senate in 2011,
but was not released from com-
mittee.
The Lung Association will
continue to work on cleaning up
thecurrent lawtoprotect all work-
ers in Pennsylvania from second-
hand smoke, the report stated.
Leslie Best, the health promo-
tion and risk reduction bureau di-
rector with the state Department
of Health, saidthat whilePennsyl-
vania may have received poor
grades from the American Lung
Association, progress is being
made.
Thegoal of atobaccocessation
and prevention program is to re-
duce the number of smokers,
Best said. Have we gotten to
where we would like to be? The
answer is no. But she said the
state is heading in the right direc-
tion.
Pennsylvanias high school
smoking rate of 18.6 percent ex-
ceeds the states adult smoking
rate of 18.4 percent. And the re-
port showed that 3.4 percent of
middle school students smoke.
All of those percentages are de-
creases fromeight years ago.
And a state Department of
Health report on tobacco issued
last yearshowsthat cigarettesales
are down statewide since 2002.
Between 2002 and 2010, per
capita sales of cigarettes declined
36 percent, the state report
showed.
While the report addresses is-
sues at a state and national level,
said Dalla Palu, of Tobacco Free
Northeast, Luzerne and sur-
rounding counties in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania have dreadful
numbers interms of percentageof
residents who smoke.
About 22percent of residents in
the area that includes Carbon,
Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne,
Monroe, Northampton, Pike, Sus-
quehanna, Wayne and Wyoming
counties smoke, the state Depart-
ment of Health reports, citing a
2006-08 study. Thats the third
highest percentage of any region
of the state, trailing only Philadel-
phia County and Northwestern

ISLAMABAD
Scandal takes odd twist
A
scandal over a secret memo to
Washington that could bring down
the Pakistani president took a strange
turn Wednesday when a music video
surfaced featuring the chief accuser
acting as a commentator for a naked
female wrestling bout.
Opponents of Mansoor Ijaz, an
American of Pakistani origin, said the
clip damaged his credibility ahead of
his scheduled appearance at a Supreme
Court commission in this conservative
Muslim country. The Florida-born
businessman has pledged to provide
damning evidence that the Pakistani
government sent the note seeking U.S.
help preventing a military coup in the
aftermath of the American raid that
killed Osama bin Laden on May 2,
2011.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Dozens killed in blast
Dozens of civilians, NATO coalition
troops and Afghan security forces were
killed and wounded Wednesday when a
suicide attacker blew himself up in a
bazaar, according to the top command-
er of international troops in Afghan-
istan, who alleged that the Talibans
leader had lost all control of his foot-
soldiers.
U.S. Gen. John Allen condemned the
attack in Kajaki district of Helmand
province and said it was evidence that
the insurgents had declared outright
war on the Afghan people. While the
Taliban work to intimidate civilians
and kill anyone aligned with the Af-
ghan government, the U.S.-led coali-
tion emphasizes that civilians deaths
should weaken the Talibans appeal.
Daud Ahmadi, a provincial spokes-
man, said a suicide bomber on a motor-
cycle killed 12 Afghans, including two
policeman, and wounded at least 23
other people.
NEW YORK
Sentenced in stabbing spree
A 24-year-old man who pleaded
guilty to murder and other crimes in a
violent stabbing rampage in New York
City last winter was sentenced Wednes-
day to 200 years in prison during a
hearing in which he hurled epithets at
one of his victims and was told by the
judge that he was a sociopath.
Maksim Gelman, born in Ukraine,
pleaded guilty in November in Brook-
lyn to murder and other charges in the
spree in February 2011, which included
stabbing his stepfather and two others
to death, fatally running down a pedes-
trian, stealing a car and attacking a
subway passenger.
Gelmans deadly spree on Feb. 11
started with a family argument over
whether he could use his mothers car.
DOHA, QATAR
Straits security stressed
Chinas premier is stressing the im-
portance of keeping the Strait of Hor-
muz open after threats by Iran to shut
the strategic waterway.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said
Wednesday in the Qatari capital Doha
that ensuring the security of the strait
is in all nations interests. About a fifth
of the worlds oil supply flows through
the narrow strait.
He added that any extremist action
in this region will go against the will of
all people in the world.
China is a major customer for Irans
oil and gas. It has opposed tighter
sanctions on Iran over Tehrans dis-
puted nuclear program and has called
for a Mideast free of atomic weapons.
The Chinese premiers Gulf tour has
also taken him to Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates.

WINNSBORO, S.C. Re-
publican presidential candi-
dates Newt Gingrich and Mitt
Romney engaged in a harsh
volley of attacks Wednesday,
with Gingrich predicting an
unendingly dirty and dishon-
est end to his rivals cam-
paign and Romney mocking
Gingrichs claim of helping to
create millions of jobs.
Romney said Gingrichs
boast was like Al Gore taking
credit for the Internet.
Gingrich said: I fully ex-
pect the Romney campaign to
be unendingly dirty and dis-
honest for the next four days
because they are desperate.
The increasingly bitter and
personal tone between the
two candidates suggested that
Romney sees the former
House speaker a rising threat
to his front-runners status in
Saturdays South Carolina pri-
mary while Gingrich is scram-
bling to capitalize on his mo-
mentum after a fiery debate
performance Monday night.
Romneys strategy has been
to leave his rivals to fight
among themselves while he
behaves like the nominee and
focuses his rhetoric on Demo-
cratic President Barack Oba-
mas record.
But on Wednesday, Romney
shifted to Gingrich, arguing
that he had overstated his role
in helping President Ronald
Reagan create millions of
jobs.
Hed been in Congress two
years, when Ronald Reagan
came to office, Romney said
during an appearance at Wof-
ford College in Spartanburg.
That would be like saying
435 congressmen were all re-
sponsible for those jobs.
Separately, supporters of
Romney who served with Gin-
grich in Congress labeled him
erratic and unreliable.
They also said he had helped
Democratic President Bill
Clinton win re-election.
They spoke to reporters on
a conference call arranged by
Romneys campaign.
Gingrich called that just
stupid and ticked off his re-
cord of fighting with Demo-
cratic House Speaker Tip
ONeill and engineering the
first House Republican major-
ity in 40 years with the 1994
elections.
My only question is, so
what did Mitt Romney do?
Who did he help elect? What
was he doing during those
years? Gingrich asked.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska A
Russian tanker Wednesday was
nearly finished pumping fuel to
the iced-in city of Nome, having
sent more than half of the1.3 mil-
liongallons of diesel andgasoline
through two hoses snaking
across the ice.
The remote Alaskan coastal
city has beenanticipating its win-
ter fuel delivery since November
when a powerful storm prevent-
ed the delivery by barge. The
tanker left Russia in mid-Decem-
ber and pushed through miles of
ice to begin the high-stakes deliv-
ery on Monday.
By Wednesday, 296,000 gal-
lons of unleaded gasoline and
more than half the amount of die-
sel fuel, or 580,000 gallons, had
been pumped off the ship. Vitus
Marine LLC manager Stacey
Smithsaidall the fuel couldbe off
the ship by the end of the day.
The city has hadenoughfuel to
date, but the winter has been bit-
terly cold, even by Alaska stan-
dards. Wednesdays temper-
atures hovered around minus 6
degrees. The fuels arrival should
eliminate any shortages until a
barge delivery in late spring.
Officials considered flying fuel
in fromKotzebue and Bethel, but
determined that proposal would
be too costly. DEC estimated the
cost of flying fuel to Nome at be-
tween $3.5 million and $4.9 mil-
lion.

WASHINGTON Raising the stakes
onabitter election-year fight withRepub-
licans, President Barack Obama on
Wednesday rejected a Canadian compa-
nys plan to build a U.S.-spanning, 1,700-
mile pipeline to carry oil across six U.S.
states to Texas refineries.
Though the project promises thou-
sands of temporary jobs for the recover-
ingU.S. economy, ObamasaidaFebruary
deadlineset byCongress wouldnot allow
for a proper review of potential harm
from the $7 billion Keystone XL project.
The plan proposed by Calgary-based
TransCanada would carry oil from tar
sands in western Canada to Texas, pass-
ing through Montana, South Dakota, Ne-
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Republicans assailedObamas decision

mentally sensitive areas of Nebraska is

Russ Girling, TransCanadas president

panyplans todoexactlythat. If approved,

BEAR CREEK TWP. Will
Kresge has a passion Penn
State the university and the
football program.
Kresge, 67, of Bear Creek
Township, wants to take his
passion for the Blue & White to
the Penn State University
Board of Trustees. The retired
engineer is running for an
alumni seat on the
board, a position
that is elected by
Penn State alumni.
This recent fias-
co, well, I believe it
rests right with the
board of trustees,
Kresge said. Had
they blown the
whistle on Jerry
Sandusky 10 years
ago and turned him
in, this would have
been a Sandusky
scandal, not a Penn State scan-
dal.
Kresge said he has been ac-
tive with Penn State both local-
ly and at the main campus for
many years.
He said he has been told the
board conducted a group
think before announcing the
firings of former head football
coach Joe Paterno and Presi-
dent Graham Spanier. He said
the board was probably going
to get rid of Paterno anyway
after the football season and
that this gave them an out.
Paterno said he was going to
leave after the season, so why
not let him do that? Kresge
asked. Here is a person (Pater-
no) who dedicated his life to
Penn State and donated much
of his savings. If he sat on his
hands and did nothing, it would
be different, but he reported
what he knew to his bosses.
Kresge said he is actively
campaigning for the seat, one
of three that will go to the high-
est vote getters among alumni.
All declared candidates who
get the required number of
nominating signatures will go
on a ballot that will be distrib-
uted to all PSU alums. The new
board members will be seated
in mid-May.
Kresge graduated
from Penn State in
1966 with a bachelors
degree in electrical
engineering. His first
position was with the
UGI Corp., where he
progressed from an
engineering assistant
to assistant manager
of operations. In
1973, he and a part-
ner formed the con-
sulting engineering
firm Utility Engineers Inc. that
later became the architectural/
engineering firm Quad Three
Group.
Kresge served on the first
board of trustees of the Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege. He sat on an advisory pan-
el to combine three local hospi-
tals into a single new hospital --
Geisinger Wyoming Valley. He
has served on an advisory
board for Penn State Wilkes-
Barre.
He is married to his wife of
47 years, Betty. They have two
daughters and four grandchil-
dren.

Township is
running for Penn

way the board

scandal, in-
cluding the
firing of Joe
Paterno, has
prompted him to
seek the posi-
tion.

WILKES-BARRE A city man
found guilty of drug-related
charges at a November trial was
sentencedWednesdayto6to13
years in state prison.
Raymond Robert Davis, 30, of
Dougher Lane, was sentenced on
one count each of possession
with intent to deliver heroin and
possession with intent to deliver
cocaine and two counts of crimi-
nal conspiracy by Luzerne Coun-
ty Senior Judge Kenneth Brown.
Davis was found guilty after a
one-day trial. The jury was hung
on seven other related charges,
while another seven charges
were withdrawn by prosecutors.
According to court papers, in
April 2010, Davis and three other
people allegedly soldcocaine and
heroin to a police informant on
several different occasions.
Police searched Davis home,
as well as a NorthHancock Street
apartment also involved. Inside
the Dougher Lane residence po-
lice said they found a large
amount of cocaine and heroin, as
well as packaging materials and
scales.
Police said the residence also
had a surveillance system, cell-
phones and a police scanner. Po-
lice also said they located 1,000
bags of heroin under a couch.
Police said the North Hancock
Street home of Tracy Smith, 39,
was used to distribute the drugs,
and the Dougher Lane home was
used as a stash house. Police said
that inside the North Hancock
Street home they found drug par-
aphernalia and cocaine.
Smith pleaded guilty in Febru-
ary to a related charge and was
sentenced in April to eight to 16
months in county prison.
Two others involved who po-
lice said were inside the Dougher
Lane home were also charged.
Bryan Pearl, 32, pleaded guilty
in November to related charges
and was sentenced that day to
five to 10 years in state prison.
Angel Holley, 25, is awaiting
trial on related charges.
Drug charges bring sentence

Wilkes-Barre, linked to

HARVEYS LAKE Council
voted to write letters of opposi-
tion to legislation related to gas
drilling.
The letters, which will be ad-
dressed to state Sen. Lisa Baker
and state Rep. Karen Boback, op-
pose Senate Bill 1100 because it
would take away any rights the
borough has in regards to the gas
zoning laws, borough officials
said.
SB1100 is coupled with House
Bill 1950, which allows the bor-
ough to receive impact fees.
Former council member Diane
Dwyer statedthe twobills should
be voted on separately.
In a letter to Baker, profession-
al geologist Sid Halsor points out
SB1100wouldrequire every mu-
nicipality to allowgas drilling op-
erations inevery zoning district.
Halsor is currently a member of
the Environmental Advisory
Council of Harveys Lake.
Dwyer also said there was an
incorrect statement in the min-
utes of the Dec. 20 council meet-
ing.
The minutes state that all sev-
en members of council along
with Mayor Clarence Hogan had
made the decision to forego their
yearly stipends in order to bal-
ance the boroughs budget.
Dwyer pointed out only the sev-
en council members agreed to
give up their stipends, but the
mayor will still receive his.

G
eorge Prehatin, a resident of
Swoyersville, passed away quiet-
ly on Monday evening, January 16,
2012, at the age of 89.
Raised in Harveys Lake, George
was the youngest and the last of nine
children born on the Farmof the late
Sam and Eva (Jubak) Prehatny.
Those of you who remember the
Union Street Market in Wilkes-Barre,
he and his late wife, Josephine Jo,
workedtirelessly together for over 40
years; George slicing ham, salami
and cheese, and Jo chopping onions,
making the sandwiches and hoagies.
George and Jo were blessed with
over 20 years of good health during
their retirement. Together, they at-
tended senior meetings, went bowl-
ing, traveled and were members of
the Holy Name/ Saint Marys Parish
Community.
In addition, George spent count-
less hours, at the place of his birth,
the Farm he so dearly loved. There,
he found solace, peace and refuge
from an ever changing world. We
once calculated that over the course
of his life, driving to and fro, he accu-
mulated enough miles to circle the
earth over eight times.
He was never the same since the
passing of Jo, his wife, friend and
rockof 63years. He wouldbe quickto
note they dated for two years, so it
was actually 65, as he smiled. We
hope they are united once again and
spend the rest of eternity in happi-
ness.
George is survived by is survived
by his son, George C. Prehatin of
Swoyersville; daughter, Doris A. Ber-
tram-Morin of Northboro, Mass.;
three grandchildren; 13 nieces and
nephews.
Anote of thanks: To the patrons of
the Union Street Market; family and
friends fromSwoyersville who kept a
watchful eye on our parents during
our absence; special thanks to family
and friends on Halowich Road, like
guardian angels, they looked after
our Dad and the Farm. Written in lov-
ing memory of our father, from your
son, George, and daughter, Doris.

DALLAS Borough officials
announced Wednesday they are
pursuing ways to solve water
drainage issues along Toby
Creek.
Borough Manager Tracey Carr
said she and the borough engi-
neer have been conducting re-
search to find funding sources
for a Toby Creek maintenance
project that
would alle-
viate water
drainage
and other is-
sues along
the water-
way.
Residents
told council
about problems with water
drainage at council meetings af-
ter tropical storms Irene and Lee
dumped record amounts of rain
on the Back Mountain within a
two-week period.
Carr said she has contacted
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection officials to
discuss storm water and flood-
ing concerns along Columbia
Avenue, at the American Legion
and at Leggios Restaurant.
She said the consent of all
property owners would be a re-
quirement for the project, and
costs may need to be shared
with property owners as well.
We dont know what were
going to do yet because we dont
want to spend money on engi-
neering fees on a project if we
dont have the funding, said
Carr. The size of the project
will be determined by whether
or not we can secure funding.
She also said Borough Engi-
neer Brent Berger is contacting
officials from the state Depart-
ment of Conservation and Nat-
ural Resources for a partial grant
to complete the work. The grant
would require a 15 percent con-
tribution from the borough and
property owners.
Carr also announced Berger is
working with the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
to ensure the agencys designs
for a roundabout in the center of
the borough would accord with
the flow of Toby Creek, which
flows underneath that area.
In another matter, council will
consider banning all clothing
and furniture donation boxes
within the borough at its next
meeting.
Solicitor Jeff Malak said the
boxes are located in parking lots
and other common areas, and
the overflow of items often
blocked access to traffic.
Funding

Toby Creek
Dallas officials are looking
into ways to fix drainage
problems along the creek.

PITTSTON -- City Council officially
voted to accept the resignation of former
police Sgt. Jeffrey Tayoun during
Wednesday nights regular meeting.
Tayoun made headlines earlier in the
month when he submitted his letter of
resignation and filed a lawsuit against
the city and Mayor Jason Klush.
Formerly a city chief of police, Tayoun
contends he was unfairly demoted and
retaliated against because he reported
former officer Robert Semyon to the At-
torney Generals Office for allegedly tak-
ing sexually explicit photographs of un-
conscious women who were in police
custody.
Semyon was charged and pleaded
guilty last year to three counts of aggra-
vated indecent assault and one count of
invasion of privacy in connection with
the case.
Although Klush did not publicly ad-
dress the lawsuit at Wednesdays meet-
ing, he has in the past denied the allega-
tions levied against him. He has instead
stated his choice to demote Tayoun in
favor of current Chief Robert Powers was
simply his prerogative and right as a new
mayor.
Tayouns resignation was accepted
unanimously. The resignation of part-
time officer Michael Smith was also ac-
cepted on Wednesday, but City Manager
Joseph Moskovitz said the two resigna-
tions were unrelated.
In other personnel matters, Moskovitz
was reappointed to another four-year
term. Samuel Falcone was reappointed
to a four-year term as solicitor, Joseph
Castellino was reappointed as assistant
solicitor and Reilly and Associates was
again selected as the city engineer.
The council also held the first reading
of an ordinance that would regulate how
sidewalks are used for commercial pur-
poses within the city. Falcone said the
ordinance is meant to regulate sidewalk
cafes and sidewalk sales in such a way
that the downtown remains aesthetically
pleasing.
Along similar lines, Councilman Jo-
seph Mclean complained that workers
from the Pennsylvania American Water
Co. have improperly spray-painted por-
tions of brand-new Main Street side-
walks to identify PAWC underground
equipment locations.
Moskovitz suggested that Reilly and
Associates look into ways to update city
regulations relating to returning walks
to their prior condition after work is
done.
Also, Councilman Danny Argo identi-
fied portions of Church, Thistle and Oak
as streets that could be repaved in the
near future. He also acknowledged that
Union Street is in dire need of repaving.
Pittston accepts resignation of ex-chief
Sgt. Jeffrey Tayoun is suing city,
claiming he was demoted for
reporting officers wrongdoing.

WILKES-BARRE A West Pittston
man charged with robbing and as-
saulting a man whose eye had to be
removed after the incident was sen-
tenced Wednesday to 18 to 36 months
in state prison.
Jeremy Asay, 25, of Stanton Street,
was sentenced on a single count of
robbery by Luzerne County Judge Da-
vid Lupas, stemming from the March
2010 incident. Additional charges, in-
cluding aggravated and simple as-
sault, were withdrawn by prosecutors
at Asays July guilty plea.
(The victim) was truly an innocent
victim, who went to pick up (a pack of
beer), and was assaulted, Deputy
District Attorney Alexis Falvello said.
Asays attorney, Joseph Saporito,
said his client has been willing to
cooperate with investigators in the
case, and agreed to testify against his
co-defendant.
Michael Gentner, 28, of Willow
Street, Wilkes-Barre, pleaded not
guilty to a charge of criminal conspir-
acy at a December formal arraign-
ment. He is currently awaiting trial in
relation to the robbery.
According to court papers, on
March 3, 2010, police were dispatched
to South Main Street in Pittston for
the report of a robbery and assault.
Larry Shannon, then 60 years old,
told police he was walking back to his
residence from the South Main Con-
venient store when he was ap-
proached by a male, later identified as
Asay.
Shannon told police the male
lunged at him and struck him in the
face several times.
Police said Asay took $11 from
Shannon and fled, and Gentner later
used that money to buy a 12-pack of
beer.
Shannon was taken to Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital for injuries to his
head and face, and police said his left
eye was removed as a result of the
injuries.
Police said they found a kitchen
knife at the scene. A female later told
police that Asay took the knife from
her residence and said he wanted to
rob someone.

WILKES-BARRE A pediat-
rician testified Wednesday that a
5-month-old boy may never fully
develop functioning skills after
authorities allege the baby was
violently shaken by his father,
17-year-old Kashawn Butler.
Butler, of Old River Road, ap-
peared for a preliminary hearing
in Wilkes-Barre Central Court
on charges of aggravated as-
sault, simple assault, endanger-
ing the welfare of a child and
reckless endangerment.
City police and the Luzerne
County Detective Bureau allege
Butler shook the baby when the
infant spat up after a feeding in-
side his residence on Dec. 4.
Senior Dis-
trict Judge An-
drew Barilla
determined
prosecutors es-
tablished a
case against
Butler, sending
the charges to
Luzerne County Court.
Butler remains jailed at the
county prison for lack of
$100,000 bail.
Dr. Paul Bellino of Geisinger
Medical Center in Danville, tes-
tified the infant, Sincere Butler,
might have suffered permanent
brain injuries and requires as-
sistance from a respirator to
breathe.
Sincere Butler will likely have
neuro-cognitive disorders simi-
lar to being in a vegetative state,
Bellino said.
Authorities allege Butler fed

Butler told authorities he
shook the infant after becoming
upset at the baby for throwing
up and crying, according to the

Authorities allege in the com-

the baby stopped breathing after
throwing up.
City paramedics revived the

breathing.
He was rushed to Wilkes-

Reader echoes desire
for better days ahead
I
agree with Katelyn Pierce in her Jan. 12
letter to the editor titled Student wor-
ried about future job prospects.
Faith is wearing thin with our political
system and its lack of positive response to
the floundering job market. She hopes that
someone will appear who can fix the econ-
omy and bring back jobs.
She particularly mentions jobs for young
people, and, yes, young people do need to
have dreams for a future. Unfortunately,
the light is dim at this time. We need to
crank up the volts, watts and amps of our
job market to bring back the American
dream of work and prosperity.
As a nation, we need hope and a definite
prospect of labor.
I certainly hope that Katelyns wish
comes true, that someone appears to fix
our economic woes. And let us all dream
again in a strong USA.

Sick of nations gridlock?
Make a run for Congress
I
n 2010 less than 38 percent of eligible
voters voted. In that election 88 percent
of incumbents were re-elected. Perhaps
the reason people dont vote is that they
feel they must pick the lesser of two evils
or that their votes will make no difference.
You could give the voters in your district
a better choice.
If you are sick of the gridlock in Wash-
ington, I invite you to make a difference
and run for Congress. You must act now,
as the filing deadlines in many states are
fast approaching.
Find out how you can run for office at
www.goooh.com. GOOOH (pronounced
go) intends to challenge incumbents, in
the primaries, with citizen representatives
chosen by the members of their district.

K
WALL STREET and CEO culture in America
is out of touch, arrogant, condescending, and
those are probably its good qualities. Recent
examples run the gamut, from snooty fi-
nance employees sipping champagne while
mocking Wall Street protesters to a sign
posted in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
proudly stating we are the 1 percent. Its
clear that certain titans of industry are in
dire need of an attitude adjustment.
One of the worst offenders is the energy
industry. Case in point, the CEO for the
Colorado Oil & Gas Association reportedly
said of fracking opponents: These nuts
make up about 90 percent of our population,
so we cant really call them nuts any more.
Theyre the mainstream.
Contrast that with what she could and
should have said: Opposition to fracking is
widespread and accounts for up to 90 per-
cent of the population. As such, we need to
address mainstream concerns and reassure
the public about our industry.
She didnt choose to use that language,
just as the Wall Street examples chose not to
use conciliatory gestures. Instead she re-
vealed what she really thought: that anyone
who opposes her industry must be nuts.
To be fair to the CEO, lets consider the
issue. Whats fracking and why do so many
members of the public oppose it? Heres the
short version. Pressurized fluid is injected in
the ground and used to fracture rock to get
at hard-to-reach fossil fuels.
A variety of toxic chemicals are involved
with the industry, and if methane gas from
the fracking operation seeps into your water
table, then your drinking water can become
flammable.
This problem became so bad in one town
in Pennsylvanias Susquehanna County that
the fracking company had to build a special
pipeline to bring drinking water to residents.
The fracking industry contends that methane
accumulation and flammable tap water have
been a problem for years in some areas.
Residents near fracking operations in
Colorado, Texas and Wyoming report various
negative health effects. Fracking companies
consider these health complaints to be un-
proven coincidences. The debate continues.
Youd think that in a free-market system a
clever corporation would just pursue a less
risky energy strategy. Its not as if we dont
have other alternatives. Why not invest in
renewables and avoid the exploding tap
water debate entirely?
Theres money to be made in these proven,
safe, cost-effective energy technologies.
Capitalists all over the planet have realized
this and are massively investing and building
renewable energy plants. The notable excep-
tion is the United States, which brings us
back to the Wall Street and CEO attitude
problem.
The earlier quoted CEO noted that the
energy industry has a 7 percent approval
rating. Her solution is for the energy indus-
try to use a hipper marketing campaign that
catered to people that like South Park. She
reportedly urged executives to get on Face-
book and get savvy with social media tools.
Her solution, in essence, is to listen to the
public only up to the point of being able to
better sway them to her point of view. Com-
pare this with the customer is always right
mantra, which seemingly was thrown in a
landfill at some point in the 1980s. It was
replaced with a belief that CEOs are infal-
lible.
As such, theyre not interested in changing
their behaviors. Theyre interested only in
changing your behavior to better fit their
business models.
This gets to the heart of our current eco-
nomic and growing social crisis. Wall Street
and the CEOs are too out of touch to know
theyre wrong and too arrogant to admit it.
When an industry has a 7 percent approval
rating and still cant admit its business model
is fundamentally wrong, then it loses the
privilege of dictating the status quo.
They must change, and we must make
them do it since they refuse. The bottom line
is the middle class cant survive another 30
years of Wall Street and CEO mismanage-
ment.

Youd think that in a free-market system a

have other alternatives.
T
HE CORBETT ad-
ministration has sent
the wrong message by
firing the longtime di-
rector of the Citizens Advisory
Council of the Department of
Conservation and Natural Re-
sources.
The public alreadyis onedge
about the potential impact of
expanded natural gas drilling
on public land in Pennsylva-
nias forests and parks, and
pullingthe plugonone conduit
for public accountability adds
to the concerns.
Kurt Leitholf was appointed
to the job in 1996, just after
then-Gov. Tom Ridge signed
legislation splitting what had
been the states Department of
Environmental Resources into
two agencies, one for conserva-
tion (the Department of Con-
servation and Natural Re-
sources) andone for regulatory
functions (the Department of
Environmental Protection).
The same change in law cre-
ated the citizens council and
Leitholf workedfor it, although
he was paid by DCNR. Nowhis
duties will be handled by
DCNRs legislative liaison,
who will become an adviser to
the council.
The change was character-
ized as a cost-saving measure,
but it raises questions about
the administrations commit-
ment to citizen involvement.
The advisory councils next
meeting is scheduled for Jan.
25, and members should make
sure they tell the Corbett ad-
ministration loud and clear
that they are entitled to, and
expect to have, their own, inde-
pendent director. The budget
can be trimmed elsewhere.

DCNR firing
loss for citizens
O
N THE SAME day
voters cast ballots in
South Carolinas
presidential primary,
a related but even more influ-
ential milestone will pass.
Saturday is the second anni-
versary of the Supreme Courts
poisonous Citizens United de-
cision, which allows billio-
naires, corporations, unions
and other special-interest
groups to spend un-
limited amounts on
political advertising.
The two-year-old
decision turned back
decades of cam-
paign-finance re-
forms aimed at re-
ducing the influence
of elites over the gov-
ernment. In essence, the court
weakened the power of all but
the wealthiest to determine
election outcomes.
A once-surging Newt Gin-
grich became the first casualty
of Citizens United in the cur-
rent presidential race after a
Mitt Romney-supporting-su-
per-PAC spent millions on
three weeks of negative adver-
tising that turned Gingrich in-
to a fourth-place loser in the Io-
wa Republican caucuses.
The anti-Gingrich ads said
hehadworkedwithDemocrats
on global-warming solutions,
favored amnesty for illegal im-
migrants, committed ethics vi-
olations and is President Oba-
mas preferred GOP opponent.
The weakened former House
speaker was barely taken seri-
ously in the subsequent New
Hampshire primary.
But Gingrich is determined
to turn the tables Saturday in
South Carolina. This time, he
and the super-PACs that sup-
port him are on a revenge mis-
sion. They already have spent
millions on attack ads and oth-
er tactics.
The real victims are the vot-
ers, whose ability to pick a
president based
on a candidates
merit has been di-
minished. Many
will be confused
by nasty TV ads
that tear candi-
dates reputations
to shreds and ob-
fuscate issues.
Some might not even vote.
Having an outsize impact on
elections are the banking, ener-
gy, legal and health-care indus-
tries, as well as the unions and
lobbyists pumping money into
the super-PACS. Ultimately,
they will further polarize a
country that needs civilized,
centrist leadership.
It doesnt matter to the su-
per- PACs nor the more insid-
ious issues advocacy groups,
which dont even have to di-
vulge their donors whether
Americans are more likely to
rip at each others throats than
seek common ground. More
important to them is that the
public succumb to their power
in elections.

U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, one of
30 co-sponsors of the Stop On-
line Piracy Act, on Wednesday
announced he was withdrawing
his support.
Basedonmy backgroundas a
sheriff, the Stop Online Piracy
Act, commonly referred to as
SOPA, was brought to me as a
law enforcement bill, Holden
said.
At its core, the bills intent to
eliminate theft by foreign web-
sites protects the intellectual
property of American manufac-
turers of all spheres. However,
the possible unintended conse-
quences, such as stifling innova-
tion and limiting free speech on
the Internet, have come to the
forefront of debate. An open In-
ternet requires that wefindabet-
ter approachthat isacceptableto
all sides. Therefore, I withdrew
my co-sponsorship of this bill
and will work to find a solution
that protects both the openness
and innovation of the Internet as
well as intellectual property.
The bills are designedtocrack
down on sales of pirated Ameri-
can products overseas, and they
have the support of the film and
music industry. Among the op-
ponents are many Internet com-
paniessuchasWikipedia, Yahoo,
Google, Facebook, AOL, eBay
and Twitter.
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Ly-
coming Township, is a co-spon-
sor of the bill. And Sen. Bob
Casey, D-Scranton, is a co-spon-
sor of the related bill in the Sen-
ate, called Protect IP Act, or PI-
PA.
Efforts to obtain a comment
fromMarino were unsuccessful.
John Rizzo, Caseys press sec-
retary, issued a statement say-
ing, Sen. Caseyhasheardfroma
number of his constituents on
the issue and looks forward to a
full debateonthelegislation. His
goal is to fight to protect law-
abiding citizens while stopping
criminals who are hurting Penn-
sylvania companies and work-
ers.

sites made their views clear with-
out cutting off services. Google
blacked out the logo on its home

where they could add their names

The one-day outage was timed
to coincide with key House and
Senatecommitteehearingsasthey
prepare to send the bills to the full
floor for debate.
However, sponsor Rep. Lamar
Smith, a Texas Republican, sought
last weektoremoveacontroversial
provision from the House bill that
couldforceInternet serviceprovid-
ers to interfere with the way Web
addresses work for foreign sites
deemed dedicated to piracy. He
postponed work on the measure
until February.
Critics believe such tinkering
with core Internet technology
treads into dangerous territory
that could lead to online censor-
ship. It might also give hackers a
newway towreakhavoc.
The White House raised con-
cernsthatthebillscouldstifleinno-

ma administration reacted to two
online petitions, saying it will not
support legislation that reduces
freedom of expression, increases
cybersecurity risk or undermines
the dynamic, innovative global In-
ternet. At the same time, the ad-
ministration called on all sides to
pass sound legislation this year
that provides prosecutors and
rights holders new legal tools to
combat online piracy originating
beyondU.S. borders.
That nuanced stance is Presi-
dent Barack Obamas attempt at

Jeffrey Silva, a technology policy

inWashington.
Ontheonehand, his administra-
tion has defended a free, open In-

gimes fall in the Middle East with
help from social media such as
Twitter. It has also been a propo-
nent of the concept of net neutral-

tory Week, Albert Brocca will
screen a trailer of the movie at
three venues:
Today at 7 p.m. in Room104
of the McGowan School of Busi-
ness at Kings College after the
Inaugural Msgr. John J. Curran
Memorial Lecture -- The Knox
Mine Disaster: The Anthracite
Mineworker and The Culture of
Corruption -- by professor Rob-
ert P. Wolensky and William A.
Hastie.
On Saturday Brocca and
Wolensky will present the trailer
at the Anthracite Heritage Mu-
seum in Scranton for the 53rd
Anniversary of the Knox disas-
ter.
On Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. at the
Earth Conservancy Building,
Main Street, Ashley, in front of
the Huber Breaker, the trailer
will be screened for the Huber
Breaker Preservation Society.
Attorney F. Charles Petrillo will
speak on: Last Shift: The End of
Deep-Coal Mining in the Wyom-
ing Valley 1959-1974.
Chance meeting
The idea for the documentary
sprang from a chance meeting at
Broccas great grandmothers fu-
neral when his uncle, Bill Best,
the president of the Huber
Breaker Preservation Society, in-
troduced Brocca to Wolensky,
who became a consultant and
backer of the movie.
They talked about anthracite
history and Dave was fascinated,
especially by the 1959 break-
through of the Susquehanna Riv-
er that ended deep mining in the
Wyoming Valley.
The Knox is a fantastic story,
and there are still people around
today to tell it. I read Bobs book
and Jeff Goodells Big Coal and
I was in, he said.
Step one was an interview
with Wolensky.
Bob recommended people
we should interview, and once
we got going, one interview just
led to the next. It was very excit-
ing, kind of like unraveling a
puzzle. We have about 12 hours
of interview footage, Brocca
said.
The Broccas flew home twice
a year with their camera gear to
shoot the interviews.
Among the subjects are the
late Steve Lukasik, the first pho-
tographer on the scene, and his
brother Bill; Jack Scanella, who
filmed the disaster; Bill Hastie, a
mine inspector at the scene; half
brothers John Gadomski, who
died last year, and Bucky Mazar,
who were working in the mine,
and Audrey Calvey.
Story of survivors
Dave Brocca said that while
the movie is the story of a disas-
ter, its also about survival.
Its a story of survivors. Not
just the men who got out alive,
but also the families that had to
cope with the loss of a loved one
and a community that had to
survive the loss of over 10,000
jobs once the mines closed.
Previously unknown film foot-
age has been found since WVIA
produced a documentary on the
Knox in 1984.
Brocca said that while video of
what was happening above
ground exists, he and Albert
want to depict what was happen-
ing down in the mine.
Weve all seen the raging vor-
tex of the Susquehanna. Id like
to show what happened under-
ground. To do the film justice,
wed like to do a re-enactment of
what the miners experienced un-
derground. Were looking to
raise funds to achieve this, he
said.
The cousins have a campaign
going at kickstarter.com, where
anyone can pledge to the project
with a credit card.

years later, these are the facts:
Chief Jacob Lisman organized a
committee to request and review
RFPs (requests for proposal).
Chief Lisman worked with that
committee, and the committee
recommended to the administra-
tiontopurchase the engines from
KME. The city acted on their rec-
ommendation.
At last Thursdays City Council
meeting, City Attorney Bill Vin-
sko read a statement that ad-
dressed the citys decision to pur-
chase the fire engines fromKME-
Kovatch.
Vinsko said bid proposals were
received and KME was selected
for several reasons, including
KME was recommended by the
committee that prepared the
RFPs and that KME owned cer-
tain patents for preferred equip-
ment.
Earlier this week, Vinsko said
other RFPs were solicited and re-
ceived. He said he would provide
copies of those proposals, but he
didnot respondtoinquiriesabout
themWednesday.
KarenCeppaHirko, thewoman
who brought the issue to public
light, said the only patent she is
aware of that KMEholds is for an
on-board system that blends spe-
cial foam with water to aid in
dousing fires.
That featureis not containedin
any of the three fire engines pur-
chased with the donation money,
shesaid. Hirkois marriedtoacity
firefighter.
Sources in the city fire depart-
ment, who requested anonymity,
said the fire engines replaced in
2005-06didhave the foamingsys-
tem, but because of repeatedmal-
functions the equipment was not
asked for in the new trucks. The
city uses an external system to
mix the foam, the sources said.
Mr. Vinsko said at the council
meeting that everything was
donelegally, andheclaimedKME
had a patent that they wanted or
used on the trucks, Hirko said.
But thats not the case.
Lisman, thecityfirechief at the
time and now retired, did not re-
turncalls made to his home.
Steve Cormier, general counsel
for KME, said the company built
the engines to the citys specifica-
tions. He said he had no knowl-
edge of where the funding came
from.
Anonymous donor
Leighton has said he didnt re-
veal the $1million donation used
topurchasethetrucks becausehe
didnt want to risk revealing the
anonymous donors identity.
However, the operations direc-
tor for the Kids for the Kingdom
charityusedtomakethedonation
said donors did not require con-
cealing the donation they just
didnt want their names revealed.
As far as I know, it would have
been perfectly OK for the city to
reveal a $1 million donation was
made, said Tim Dabel, oper-
ations director for Kids for the
Kingdom. I dont knowof any re-
strictions that would have re-
quired the city to conceal the do-
nation was made and the
amount.
When pressed for an explana-
tion, McLaughlin, who routinely
fields questions for Leighton, is-
sueda terse response.
In my two email responses be-
low, as well as the mayors quote
for attribution, Ive answered
your question, McLaughlin
wrote in the email. The mayor
was presented with an option by
the charity/donor and he exer-
cised his judgment and he has
stated why he judged the situa-
tionas he did.
Several people are questioning
the citys decision to conceal the
donationwhenit was given.
In2005-06, thecitywasinfinan-
cial difficulty. The mayor said re-
peatedly it was faced with a $10
million deficit when he assumed
officein2004, andthecityhadlost
its credit rating.
Thats why when Leighton ad-
dressed council at last weeks
work session stating this type
of philanthropy should be cele-
bratedby the community andnot
the subject of persistent gossip
and conspiracy theories he
raised political observers con-
cerns.
I still dont knowwhyhedidnt
celebrate it in 2005-06, Hirko
said.

And the key to the fortunes of each is
wrapped in a simple little intangible
called confidence.
Its clear the Wild dont have much
right now.
A puck hits a skate or a stick and
bounces the wrong way, and misfor-
tune starts steamrolling so fast, the
Wild instantly find themselves in dan-
gers way.
Its extremely frustrating, said
Minnesota right wing Nick Johnson,
who spent last year helping the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins to their win-
ningest AHL season. I think were
ready to go, and then just little things,
they kill you.
This stretch of bad fortune has
snuffed out the excitement over Minne-
sotas fast start under rookie coach
Mike Yeo, a former Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton player and assistant coach.
Instead of sharpening up that North-
west Division lead the Wild once held,
theyve slipped to second in the divi-
sion and are clinging to the eighth and
final playoff slot in the Western Confer-
ence.
All because a rash of injuries caused
a snowball effect that turned into an
avalanche on Minnesota.
Because we had guys trying to cre-
ate goals every time they touch the
puck, said Yeo, who was an assistant
to Dan Bylsma on the Pittsburgh Pen-
guins Stanley Cup championship team
in 2009. Were not the 1980s Edmon-
ton Oilers. But if we try to be, were
going to keep having nights like that.
He meant a Tuesday night when the
Wild melted faster than the fleeting
snowflakes that fell in Philadelphia
during a 5-1 defeat to the Flyers.
It was the 11th consecutive road
defeat for Minnesota, which fell to
2-6-2 over its past 10 games.
Something bad happens, and all of a
sudden, we start losing it, Wild goalie
Josh Harding said. I dont know if its
a mind thing, a confidence thing, I
really dont know.
The Flyers know the feeling.
Their curse wasnt on the road, but
at home, where Philadelphia was skid-
ding along at 7-6-2 after that stunning
defeat in the Winter Classic at Citizens
Bank Park.
Then the Flyers got back to the Wells
Fargo Center and won three straight,
while capturing five of their last seven
games since the Winter Classic on Jan.
2 to pull within four points of the New
York Rangers for the Atlantic Division
lead.
It was a tough December, Flyers
defenseman Kimmo Timonen said.
Our home record is not where we
want it to be. We wanted to really come
out hard.
Its not hard to figure out why the
Flyers arent floundering in their own
building anymore.
We were determined, said Flyers
coach Peter Laviolette, whose team
just went through a stretch of playing
20 of its past 29 games on the road.
We get a chance to come back and
take care of some business at home.
You play 60 minutes, you get the re-
sults.
You play with an unwavering atti-
tude, those results turn out favorable.
When the mindset starts to get shaky,
even the strongest-looking teams start
to collapse.

WILKES-BARRE The Meyers wres-
tling program has produced numerous
memorable nights in its storied history.
Add Wednesday evening to that list.
Not only did five Mohawk seniors
earn victories to help the team defeat
Wyoming Area 42-33 in a key Wyoming
Valley Conference Division II show-
down, but one of those came via fall
from 120-pounder Vito Pasone, who
picked up his 130th career win.
Pasones winties himwithJoe Rovelli
for the most in school history. Rovelli,
currently a Wyoming
Area assistant coach,
saw his friend tie the
mark he set during his
state championship-
winning season in
2004.
For the record-tying
victory, Pasone pinned Carm Mauriello
in 3:43 after running out to a 13-4 lead.
He will look to break the record Satur-
day at the Line Mountain Tournament.

LEHMAN TWP. Northwest ap-
peared to be comfortably ahead when
Alivia Womelsdorf made a layup on an
inbounds play with 3:48 remaining.
But Lake-Lehman turned up the de-
fense, holding the Rangers without a
shot the rest of the way and erasing an
eight-point deficit by scoring the
games final 10 points in a 43-41Wyom-
ing Valley Conference Division III girls
basketball victory Wednesday.
The last two minutes, that effort
was tremendous, Lake-Lehman coach
Charlie Levan said.
Danae (Sutliff) did
anexcellent job defen-
sively. Everyone did.
We got turnovers and
it gave us a chance to
get baskets and get to
the line.
We had two freshmen, two sopho-
mores and a senior on the floor at the
end. Theyre probably our most athlet-
ic players thats why we had themout
there.
Northwest led by as many as nine in
the second half and had12 points from
stickbacks. Kelsey Yustat made her
third three-pointer of the night before
Womelsdorfs shot as the Rangers lead
stood at 41-33.
Northwest shot 67 percent in the
second half and still left the Lake-Leh-
man gym without the win.
Pressure. There was just too much
pressure, Northwest coachChris Piatt
said. We couldnt handle the pressure.
We were up eight with two minutes to
go. This is a tough loss to swallow.

WILKES-BARREWilkes hadnt ex-
pected to see this much zone from
Kings. Fortunately for the Colonels,
Matt Mullins and the backcourt were
ready to go over the top.
Turning in the programs best long-
range shooting performance in a dozen
years, Mullins career-best 30 points and
nine threes lifted the Colonels to a 66-56
win over rival Kings on
Wednesday night at
Scandlon Gymnasium.
Mullins helped
thwart a spirited sec-
ond-half comeback by
the Monarchs, scoring
17 points in the final 13
minutes after Kings
had taken the lead.
The seniors nine
threes were one shy of
the schools single-
game record set by
Chad Fabian in 1999.
A former Division I
recruit at hometown
school Binghamton,
Mullins finished the
game 9-of-16 from be-
hindthe arc. FellowguardTyler Breznit-
sky was 3-for-4 as the Colonels shot 14-
of-31 as a team.
The guys adjusted well to the change
in defense, Wilkes coach Jerry Rick-
rode said. We see some zone (during
the year), but we werent expecting it to-
night, to be honest with you. It got us to
stand around for awhile and kept us
from getting the ball inside.
I thought Matt and Tyler really
stepped it up in the second half.
And because of it, the Colonels (12-3,
5-0) continued on their roll, winning
their sixth straight to remain undefeat-
ed atop the Freedom Conference stand-
ings.
Wilkes hit the first shot of the second
half to go up by 10, but the Monarchs
zone flustered them from there, shut-
ting out the Colonels for the next six
minutes.
But right when the Monarchs took
back the lead at 37-35, capping a 12-0
run, Wilkes regained its shooting touch.
Both sides traded threes with Mullins
leading the charge for the Colonels.
He did what you have to do against
this squad you have to attack and go at
them, Rickrode said. You cant stand.
He even drove it against the zone a little
bit. He had eight boards. Just an all-
around good night.
I thought he was great, Kings coach
J.P. Andrejko said of Mullins. In his last
fewgames, I think hes only made one or
two threes, but the kids a scorer. We
knew that coming in and he caught on
fire early and never cooled off.

trustees firedcoachJoe Paterno as out-
rage boiled up over howschool leaders
handled child sex abuse allegations
against a former assistant coach.
Now its the trustees who are in-
creasingly feeling the heat.
The embattled, 32-member board
meets Friday, its first gathering since
November and the frantic first week af-
ter criminal charges were filed against
Jerry Sandusky, Penn States retired
defensive coordinator.
Paterno was dismissed Nov. 9, the
same day school President Graham
Spanier also departed under pressure.
The trustees pledged to search for the
truth of the Sandusky case, and wheth-
er Penn State officials acted appropri-
ately.
Some alumni and former players are
now wondering whether the trustees
themselves have been up front with
them, and are questioning why Pater-
no was ousted without a full airing of
the facts. Dozens are lining up for a
chance to get on the board.
The unfortunate circumstances
that weve all been living through have
put a spotlight on the leadership of the
university, Maribeth Schmidt, a 1988
Penn State graduate and spokeswo-
man for Penn Staters for Responsible
Stewardship, said Wednesday. The

WILKES-BARRE Eventually,
a shot had to fall.
The Kings and Wilkes women
couldnt get into any kind of flow
offensively in the first half, com-
bining to shoot 28 percent.
Just had to get one to fall. Get
a putback basket. Anything,
Kings coach Brian Donoghue
said.
It finally came after 15 minutes
of play on a Celia Rader three-
pointer, giving the Lady Mon-
archs a spark in a 68-47 win
Wednesday at Scandlon Gymna-
sium.
With the win, Kings (13-3, 5-0)
remains unbeaten atop the Free-
dom Conference standings. It
was the LadyMonarchs 27thwin
in the last 28 games of the series.
Senior Samantha Simcox led
Kings with 19 points against her
former squad while Rader and
Paige Carlin scored 13 and 11 off
the bench, respectively.
Kings had missed its first 11
shots from behind the arc before
Rader knocked down two in a
row, and the Lady Monarchs nev-
er trailed from there.
After Wilkes hadforgeda 29-29
tie early inthe secondhalf, Kings
pulled away with nine straight
points and used a 26-6 run to put
the game away.
The players were very good
about (the early struggles) at
haIftime, and I thought we creat-
ed on offense in the second half,
Donoghue said.
We took more chances (in the
second half), and we didnt want
to, Wilkes coach Chris Heery
said. And when we started tak-
ing more chances, we allowed a
more open shot on the swing.
Because we havent won a
whole lot yet and we will
when its a close game like that
and a teamgoes on a little bit of a
run, I thinkwe play a little bit out-
side of ourselves.
Freshman Elena Stambone
topped Wilkes (4-11, 0-5) with 17
points off the bench. Megan Kaz-
merski scored all 11 of her points
in the second half.
Through seven minutes,
Kings had actually tripled the
number of shots taken by Wilkes
(18-6), but the Lady Colonels
held a 7-6 lead. Wilkes was suc-
cessful in clogging up the paint
and the Lady Monarchs were un-
able to take advantage of their
open looks from the perimeter.
But whenRader finallydrained
one from outside at the 5:07
mark, it was enough to spark the
Lady Monarchs, putting them in
front at 14-12 and giving themthe
lead.
Wilkes used three late buckets
to pull within two before Paige
Carlin hit a shot in traffic at the
buzzer to put Kings up 26-22 at
the break.
Kings collected 55 rebounds,
includinganimpressive 27onthe
offensive glass. But until midway
through the second half, Wilkes
kept the Lady Monarchs from
converting those second-chance
opportunities.
I thought we scoutedthemve-
ry well. I thought we frustrated
them offensively, Heery said.
But then they started hitting a
couple of those shots, and that
was the difference.

BlackKnights points inthe clos-
ing10-0 run, andhadthree steals
during the stretch. A suddenly
potent Lake-Lehman defense
forced13 turnovers in the fourth
quarter to rally.
The Knights (8-5, 5-1 WVC-
III) ledearly after a pair of threes
by Sutliff and three unanswered
field goals by Carol Mosier for a
13-5 advantage. Northwest (8-6,
2-4) scored the next 11 points
and held the lead for most of the
final three quarters.
Northwest reallyplayeda sol-
id basketball game, Levan said.
We pulled one out there.
While Sutliff (19 points, five
steals) did the bulk of the scor-
ing down the stretch, it was
Cayle Spencers jumper fromthe
left wing with 13 seconds re-
maining that stood as the game-
winning basket.
Spencer finished with 15
points and a team-high seven re-
bounds.
Womelsdorf finished with 11
points and 14 rebounds. North-
west also got big games from
Yustat (11 points) and DeAnna
Gill (11 points, 10 rebounds).
Gill also made an impressive
half-court shot, but it came just
after the second quarter horn.
If only it was a split-second
sooner, Piatt said. I just saw it
leave her hand as the buzzer
sounded.

New relay
record set
by Paisley
The Associated Press
great kid and hard worker so he
deserves it, Rovelli said. I
know he personally more than
anything wants that state gold.
And seeing him wrestle, I think
he has a chance at it.
With Rovelli, assistant to first-
year head coach Steve Mytych,
being on hand, it made the win
more unforgettable for Pasone
who grew up watching the for-
mer Mohawk star. When the
teams shook hands after the
match, Rovelli toldPasonegood
luck, you deserve it.
I thought it was amazing. It
worked out well. I couldnt have
asked for a better ending for it,
Pasone said. Hes not one of the
people that feel that its his title
and thats why I always idolized
Joe. He was a hero to me and Im
glad he was here to see it.
I would always watch him
and think Wow, someday I hope
I could be like that.
Pasones senior teammates
Sean Bergold (106 pounds), Jeff
Nealon (145) and Dijon Townes
(182) all notched pins to help the
Mohawks, while senior Darren
Stucker (152) sealed the win
over the Warriors witha decision
over Nick Mazzone in the final
bout of the night.
I think the seniors are realiz-
ing that this is their last run and
its starting to hit home that they
better take it personal and they
better not leave anything on the
mat, Meyers coachRonSwingle
said.
After Wyoming Areas Nick
OBrien opened the dual with a
major decisionover Eric Carty at
160 pounds, Meyers (3-2 Divi-

Kings (8-8, 3-2) had to fight
back from a rocky start, falling
behind by12 and trailing 32-25 at

The Monarchs defense began
to turn things around and seven
different players scored to keep
things close.
I loved our defense I
thought it was set up to do what
we wanted to do, Andrejko said.
But the thing became recogni-

Paul Huch added seven points
and 14 rebounds. Kendall Hinze
finished at eight and 10.

NewYork Giants quarterback Eli
Manning missed part of Wednes-
days practice session with an ill-
ness that coach Tom Coughlin
called a stomach bug, hopefully
a 24-hour deal.
Manning was placed on the Gi-
ants injury report for the first
time this season as a limited par-
ticipant in practice, though he
missed the majority of it. The
teamis preparing to play the San
Francisco 49ers on Sunday for
the NFC championship.
If there is one guy who can
miss a practice Wednesday men-
tally, its No. 10, guard Chris
Snee said of Manning, who has
had his best pro season. He was
probably in here on Monday and
Tuesday looking at film.
Tight end Jake Ballard figured
Manning headed right home to
recuperate and watch film.
Hes probably going to spend
the rest of the day doing that,
Ballard said.
Also limited Wednesday were
defensive ends Justin Tuck
(shoulder) and Osi Umenyiora
(ankle, knee), cornerback Corey
Webster (hamstring) and rookie
linebacker Mark Herzlich (an-
kle).
Missing practice completely
was running back Ahmad Brad-
shaw with a foot problem. Brad-
shaw frequently has sat out prac-
tices or been limited in recent
weeks.
Ballardsaidit was apparent im-
mediately Wednesday morning
that Manning wasnt feeling well.
You could tell he was hurting
bad, Ballard said. He usually
toughs things out like that. You
could tell he was dragging, and
you dont like to see your Pro
Bowl quarterback throwing upor
feeling like that. Hopefully hes
better tomorrow.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.
When addressing his 49ers this
week, JimHarbaugh can point to
the monumental miss in his 15-
year NFL career: He came a Hail
Mary short of making the Super
Bowl. He still has an out-of-
whack right pinkie and notice-
able hitch in his step to show for
his time in the league.
His big brother, John, never
played at footballs highest level
and instead might motivate his
Baltimore Ravens with examples
of sacrifices by military members
in real-life conflicts.
The Harbaughs, separated in
age by all of 15 months, took dif-
ferent paths to the doorstep of
the Super Bowl. Now, theyre
sparking talk of a Superbaugh.
Baltimore plays at New En-
gland in Sundays first game for
the AFCtitle, then San Francisco
hosts the New York Giants for
the NFC crown. Their parents,
Jack and Jackie, plan to watch on
television from home in Wiscon-
sin.
While the brothers have spo-
ken during the playoffs, Jim is
quick to point out they are each
handling business their own way.
Each situation is different,
he said. There are some similar-
ities, there are some differences.
Their situation is similar in some
ways, and different in others.
Were each going to handle it ac-
cordingly.
John Harbaugh began at the
lowest rung of coaching and
worked his way up slowly, a for-
mer college defensive back at
Miami of Ohio whose playing ca-
reer ended there. He has guided
the Ravens staunch, playmaking
defense.
Jim Harbaugh was a star col-
lege quarterback at Michigan, a
first-round draft pick and eventu-
al Pro Bowler who turned to
coaching muchlater. His thick of-
fensive playbook featuring a ver-
sion of the West Coast offense
can be overwhelming, and Har-
baugh has been known to mix in
some twists, such as using David
Akers to throw a pass on a fake
field goal or throwing to a nose
tackle-turned part-time fullback.
In last Saturdays 36-32 last-
second win against Drew Brees
andthe favoredSaints, Harbaugh
even used star defensive tackle
Justin Smith for a few plays on
offense.
He gets a kick out of the game-
planning process and throwing
in some newwrinkles each week.
Really enjoyable. Yeah, its a
fun part of the job, and I think the
thing that makes it fun is that the
players are really stimulated by
that, Jim Harbaugh said. And
weve got smart guys that they
want it, they almost need it. And
really keeps them on a razors
edge.
Throughout the season, the
Harbaughs talk regularly to share
ideas, yet suddenly are in scout-
ing mode with the potential for
another history-making matchup
next month in Indianapolis. On
Thanksgiving night, they be-
came the first brothers to face
each other as NFL head coaches.
Its pretty neat. Im proud of
him, John Harbaugh said. Hes
proud of what were doing.
Jimconsiders himself a Ravens
fan.
Had a chance to watch his
game, and found myself, as al-
ways, pulling very hard for him
and his team. Very happy for his
success, Jimsaid. (I watch) as a
brother, as a fan of his team, and
also as a possible opponent, yes.
One thing neither likes during
game week is anything they con-
sider nonsense a distraction
to the one and only goal of a vic-
tory.
The Harbaughs can be dismis-
sive. Theyre known to sneer or
blow off questions altogether
when it comes to injuries or any
other tidbit that might give an
opponent insight or a possible
advantage perceived or other-
wise.
Jim Harbaugh had a roster full
of playoff first-timers going into
last Saturdays win.
His message: Dont overcook
it. Translation: Stick with what
got you here.

more Ravens coach Jon Harbaugh will coach their teams in the

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Joe Flacco doesnt put up the
numbers, get the respect or
have the three Super Bowl rings
that Tom Brady has. The Balti-
more Ravens quarterback does
have one edge on the Patriots
star.
Flacco is 1-0 against Brady in
postseason games.
He can stay undefeated and
defy the doubters if the Ravens
upset the NewEngland Patriots
in the AFC championship game
on Sunday.
Sure, Flacco was just the18th-
ranked quarterback in the NFL
this season, but hes the only
one since the NFL-AFL merger
in 1970 to reach the playoffs in
each of his first four seasons.
Brady did it in two of his first
four.
A quarterback has to do
what his team needs him to do
to win and Joe has done that,
Patriots coach Bill Belichick
said. Hes been a solid guy
since his rookie year in terms of
managing the game and using
the clock and making good deci-
sions and those types of things.
In Flaccos four years, the
Ravens are 44-20 in the regular
season and 5-3 in the playoffs. In
the same span, although Brady
missed the last 15 games with a
knee injury in 2008, the Patriots
are 48-16 in the regular season
and 1-2 in the playoffs.
And the Patriots defense has
struggled during the regular
season. Only one team allowed
more yards passing during the
regular season.
The defense did have an out-
standing game in last Saturday
nights 45-10 divisional win, giv-
ing up just 252 yards, but that
was against the overmatched
Tim Tebow and the Denver
Broncos.
Last week wont have any-
thing to do with this week, Pa-
triots defensive tackle Vince
Wilfork said. We have to play
better.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins forward Steve MacIntyre
takesthesameapproachtomedia
interviews as he does handling
opponents on the ice: he doesnt
hold back.
MacIntyrespost-practiceinter-
view on Wednesday was a prime
example.
On being sent down by Pitts-
burgh after clearing waivers last
week: It sucks. Ultimately its
their call andI havetocomedown
here witha goodattitude, playfor
the guys and be ready to go.
The parts of his game he needs
to work on while in the AHL: All
the stuff Im not good at. The list
goes on. I guess Ima work in pro-
gress.
On where he is at this stage of
his career: I consider myself an
old classic truck with low miles.
The low miles are used and
abused.
MacIntyre, who is one of the
topenforcersinhockey, participa-
ted in his first practice on
Wednesday since being reas-
signed by Pittsburgh last week.
He was the second to last player
off theiceandmadeit clear hehas
a good attitude and is ready to
work hard to get another NHL
shot.
But one thing MacIntyre, 31,
isnt going to do is change the
styleof playthat has earnedhima
12-year pro career.
You dont want to reinvent the
wheel, go out there and try to be
somebody Im not, MacIntyre
said. Ultimately, thats going to
sit you on the bench.
Still, there are parts of MacIn-
tyres game that he knows he
needs to improve. For example,
he says he can get better at ma-
naging the puck and using his
size, reach and strength in areas
of the game other than fighting.
Those are things I never really
developedcomingupthroughthe
ranks, he said.
But that doesnt mean that Ma-
cIntyre is going to stray away
fromfighting, eventhoughhison-
ly two matches this season came
in November when he was on a
conditioning stint with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton. In 10 games
with Pittsburgh, MacIntyre
didnt drop the gloves once.
It couldve been me being too
honest, he said, adding his style
of play may be better suited for
the game years agowhenfighting
was more commonplace.
Im not going to lie. Theres
days where you kind of wish you
were bornbackinthose days. But
on the other hand, the road Ive
had, I dont think I would change
it.
The AHL could offer MacIn-
tyre more opportunity to be the
enforcer hes been his entire ca-
reer. HeadcoachJohnHynes said
MacIntyre gives the teama major
physical presence that can instill
fear in opponents.
But what makes MacIntyre ef-
fective as a fighter, Hynes said, is
he has the elements that make
himwell-rounded.
He can skate, hes fast andhes
physical. Those are all compo-
nents for being a good player in
his role, Hynes said. Hes here
for two reasons if he gets re-
called he wants to be sharp to be
an enforcer at that level, and hes
here to develop his game.
And while MacIntyre is with
Wilkes-Barre, his presence will
provide a mental boost to the rest
of his teammates.
Center BenStreet saidjust hav-
ing MacIntyres name on the li-
neupcardchanges the mindset of
the opposing team while giving
his own teammates a shot of con-
fidence.
Most people are on their best
behavior when hes playing. He
just carries such a name, Street
said. Hes so big and so strong, it
does give you confidence.
Making his teammates confi-
dent, MacIntyresaid, isyet anoth-
er duty of his role as an enforcer.
If I can do that, Im doing my
job. Itsgoingtomakeguysmaybe
play a little bigger, tougher and
stronger, he said.
Still, it will be tough to match
the strength that the 6-5, 250-
pound MacIntyre himself brings
to the team.
Its a strength that even Hynes
witnessed firsthand during Pitts-
burghs training camp in Septem-
ber whenhesawMacIntyrework-
ing out in the weight room.
He did pull-ups with two fin-
gers. All thewaydown, all theway
up, Hynes said. Two hundred
and fifty pounds on two fingers.
Its true. Andthenherippedoff 15

No holding back for brutally honest Big Mac
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timeslader.com
ing out of what she said was a
common frustration among
members over a lack of due proc-
ess at the school.
Those concerns took center
stage last week when current
President Rodney Erickson
who replaced Spanier hosted
hundreds of alumni at town hall
meetings inPittsburgh, suburban
Philadelphia and New York.
Some questioned why trustees
havent been more accountable,
while others have asked why
Penn State wasnt better pre-
pared froma public relations per-
spective if school leaders knew
about the investigation. They
were told about the case in the
spring.
State authorities arrested the
67-year-old Sandusky on Nov. 5,
and he is now charged with sex-
ually abusing 10 boys over a 15-
year period. He maintains his in-
nocence and remains is out on
$250,000 bail while awaiting
trial.
Some at the alumni meetings
have sought answers specifically
about whyPaternowas firedafter
61years with the Penn State foot-
ball program, the last 46 as head
coach. Paternoledthe Nittany Li-
ons to 409 victories, more than
any other major college football
coach, and two national titles.
Paterno, 85, testified before
the grand jury investigating
Sandusky, and authorities have
said he is not a target of their ef-
forts.
But the states top cop, among
other critics, chastised Paterno
and other school leaders for fail-
ing to report a 2002 allegation of
abuse to authorities outside of
the university.
Against that backdrop, Paterno
announced his retirement effec-
tive the end of the 2011season on
the morning of Nov. 9. That day,
he acknowledged that with the
benefit of hindsight, I wish I had
done more.
The trustees announcedhis fir-
ing 12 hours later in a hastily-
called news conference.
Mainly quiet since then, the
trustees did answer queries
posed at the town hall Jan.11 in
Pittsburgh through a statement
issued the next day, when chair-
man Steve Garban and vice chair-
man John Surma said Paterno
was still a tenured faculty mem-
ber, and that the school would
honor the terms of his contract as
if he had retired at the end of the
season.
Given the nature of the seri-
ous allegations contained in the
grandjury report andthe extraor-
dinary circumstances then facing
the university, the Boards unani-
mous judgment was that Coach
Paterno could not be expected to
continue to effectively perform
his duties and that it was in the
best interests of the university to
make an immediate change in his
status, Garban and Surma said.
Erickson, in New York last
week, reiterated his support for
the trustees decision to fire Pa-
terno.

Oklahoma City, snapping the
Thunders seven-game winning
streak and giving the Wizards
just their second win of the
season.
Oklahoma City lost for only
the third time in 15 games,
getting 69 points from Russell
Westbrook and Kevin Durant.
During one stretch bridging
the second and third quarters,
the duo accounted for 21 of the
Thunders 23 points. Both
slowed down after resting at
the start of the fourth, missing
11 of 17 from the field.
Spurs 85, Magic 83
ORLANDO, Fla. Tony
Parker scored 25 points, in-
cluding 16 in the fourth quarter
and overtime, and San Antonio
held on to beat Orlando in
overtime.
Tim Duncan added 17 points
and 10 rebounds as the Spurs
also snapped a streak of 10
consecutive road losses overall,
dating to last season.
Suns 91, Knicks 88
NEW YORK Steve Nash
had 26 points and 11 assists,
Shannon Brown hit a crucial
3-pointer that was as ugly as
this game, and the Phoenix
Suns snapped a five-game
losing streak with a victory
over the New York Knicks.
Brown and Grant Hill each
scored 14 points for the Suns,
who bounced back from an
embarrassing 118-97 loss to a
Chicago team without Derrick
Rose a night earlier.
Celtics 96, Raptors 73
BOSTON Rajon Rondo
scored 13 of his 21 points in the
first quarter and the Boston
Celtics ended a five-game los-
ing streak with a win over the
reeling Toronto Raptors.
Rondo was knocked out of
the game with a sore right
wrist after being leveled on a
flagrant foul by Linus Kleiza
late in the third quarter, but
the Celtics were just fine with-
out him.
Boston led by at least 20 for
much of the final period while
extending the Raptors losing
streak to six and holding To-
ronto to a season-low point
total.
Nets 107, Warriors 100
NEWARK, N.J. Deron
Williams scored 24 points, 11
coming in crucial stretch of the
fourth quarter, and had 10
assists and eight rebounds,
leading the New Jersey Nets to
their first home win.
The Nets entered the fourth
quarter trailing 83-80, then
took control with a 12-5 run.
Williams had five points in that
stretch, including a 3-pointer
that made it 105-96 with 3:26
remaining.

ARLINGTON, Texas Yu
Darvish is coming to America to
pitch.
Japans best pitcher and the
Texas Rangers agreed before
Wednesdays deadline to a $60
million, six-year contract. In ad-
dition to the salary, the Rangers
will pay a posting fee of
$51,703,411to the Hokkaido Nip-
pon Ham Fighters of Japans Pa-
cific League.
We look at this as really a per-
fect fit, general manager Jon Da-
niels said. Obviously he has yet
to pitch in the major leagues, but
wefeel hehas provenhimself ona
big stage. ... Its all winning.
The deal came at the end of a
30-day negotiating window that
began Dec. 19 when the Rangers
bid to negotiate with the pitcher
was accepted.
Had a deal not been reached by
the 4 p.m. CSTdeadline, Darvish
would have remained with the
Fighters. And Texas, which has
been to consecutive World Series
without winning the title, would
have kept the posting fee that
ends with the jersey numbers of
Rangers President and Hall of
Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan (34)
and Darvish (11).
When the deal was reached in
Texas by his agents Don Nomura
and Arn Tellem, the 25-year-old
Darvish was home in Japan,
where he returned for offseason
training after his first and only
visit to Texas two weeks ago. The
Rangers plan to formally intro-
duce Darvish on Friday night.
Tellem said the Rangers not
only spent more time than any
other team
scouting Dar-
vish, but also
built a personal
relationship
with the pitch-
er while scout-
ing him. He
said the pitcher
is excited about the opportunity
in Texas.
Its a great teamthats been on
the door step, and hopefully with
Yu coming they will finally reach
the goal of winning a World Se-
ries, Tellem said. Yu is excited
about helping a teamthat has not
won achieve that goal. ... Hes re-
ally thrilled to be coming here.
This is where he wanted to be.
Darvish had a 93-38 record
witha1.99 ERAover the past sev-
en seasons in Japan. The 6-foot-5
right-hander was a two-time Pa-
cific League MVP and a five-time
All-Star. He led the league in
strikeouts three times, in ERA
twice and won two Gold Gloves.
Ryan was impressed by Dar-
vishs size and attitude about
wanting to compete when they
met for the first time earlier this
month.
The thing that stoodout prob-
ably is just his passion for the
game and trying to be the best he
can possibly be, Ryan said
Wednesday. One of the motiva-
tions about coming to the major
leagues here is its another chal-
lenge for him, its an opportunity
on a stage that he hasnt been on
to show what hes capable of do-
ing.
The deal surpasses what Dai-
suke Matsuzaka got when he left
Japan and signed with the Bos-
ton Red Sox just more than five
years ago. Dice-K got a $52 mil-
lion, six-year deal and the Red
Sox also had to pay a $51.111 mil-
lion posting fee.

MELBOURNE, Australia
After taking a tumble on the
next-to-last point of the match,
Serena Williams got up and
whipped a backhand winner
down the line to finish off her
second-round match at the Aus-
tralian Open and her 500th ca-
reer win.
With the 6-0, 6-4 victory over
Barbora Zahlavova Strycova on
Thursday, Williams extended
her winningstreakto16matches
at Melbourne Park, where she
won back-to-back titles in 2009
and10but couldnt playlast year
due to injury.
Her participation had been in
doubt again after she badly
sprained her ankle two weeks
ago at a warmup tournament,
which is why the Rod Laver Are-
nawent silent whenWilliams fell
onto the court in the penulti-
mate rally and sat, watching, as
Strycovas shot floated out.
Its fine. I just have wobbly an-
kles, she said in a TV interview
after the match. I wasnt meant
to be a ballerina or anything.
It was the 500th win on tour,
something shed wanted to
achieve since her older sister,
Venus, passed the milestone.
I knew I had to get there too,
because I do everything she
does, she said. Venus Williams,
a seven-time Grand Slamwinner
with career win-loss record of
598-147 as a pro, is skipping the
Australian Open to recover from
illness.
Serena Williams now has 500
wins and104 losses inher career.
After racing through the first
set in 22 minutes, her ankle got a
good workout in the second set.
She was leading 5-2 until the
Czech player held and then
broke back inthe ninthgame. Af-
ter falling behind 40-0 in the last
game, Williams wonfive straight
points to avoid another game.
Maria Sharapova, one of the
other two former champions in
the draw, reached the third
round after just two hours on
court.
The 2008 champion had a 6-0,
6-1 second-round win over U.S.
qualifier Jamie Hampton in 64
minutes, two days after beating
Argentinas Gisela Dulko by the
same margin.
Sharapova did not play in any
warmup events and spent nearly
two weeks in Melbourne ahead
of the seasons first major while
she rested an injured left ankle.
It was more about getting my
feet going ... worrying about my-
self, Sharapova said. Yeah,
started my preparations in the
offseason a little late, took a bit
of extra time in practice instead
of rushing into a tournament.
Shell meet No. 30 Angelique
Kerber, who beat Canadas Ste-
phanie Dubois 7-5, 6-1.
Seventh-seeded Vera Zvonare-
va, a two-time semifinalist at
Melbourne Park, had a 6-1, 7-6
(3) over Lucie Hradecka. No. 21
Ana Ivanovic also advanced,
beating Dutch player Michaella
Krajicek 6-2, 6-3.
Two seeded players were oust-
ed, with Sara Errani beating No.
29Nadia Petrova 6-2, 6-2andNo.
25 Kaia Kanepis strong start to
the season coming to an end in a
6-2, 7-5 loss to Ekaterina Maka-
rova of Russia.
DefendingchampionKimClij-
sters is into the third round on
the other half of the draw.
Top-ranked Caroline Woz-
niacki is aiming for her first ma-
jor tile, and is one of four women
in the draw who can finish the
tournament at No. 1.
After her 6-1, 7-6 (4) second-
round win over Anna Tatishvili
on Wednesday, she asked how
her boyfriend might be able to
help.
She smiled, paused, then re-
layed some of the advice Rory
McIlroy offered that helped him
overcome similar pressure and
win a golf major.
Well, its just about you cant
really do anything about the
past, Wozniacki said. You just
need to look forward. You have a
tournament now, and you want
to do the best you can. Thats it.
Then if it goes well, its great.
If not, you have the next one. Its
like tennis.
McIlroy was considered a ma-
jor golf talent on the cusp of a
breakthrough when he blew a
four-stroke lead and lost last
years Masters. He handled it
with such humility that it didnt
surprise anyone when he re-
bounded to win the U.S. Open
two months later, when he was
22.
Wozniacki is into a third-
round match against No. 31
Monica Niculescu. A win could
put her on course for a quarterfi-
nal match against Clijsters, who
routed Stephanie Foretz Gacon
of France 6-0, 6-1.
Clijsters will face longtime
friend Daniela Hantuchova in
the third round, and a win there
could set up a fourth-round
match against French Open
championLi Na, arematchof the
2011 Australian final.
Third-seeded Victoria Azaren-
ka advanced in a night match
with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Austra-
lian wild card Casey Dellacqua.
Former top-ranked player Jelena
Jankovic stayed alive in the draw
after beating Chang Kai-chen
6-4, 6-2 and could be a fourth-
round rival for Wozniacki.

Mohegan tables gain,
Mount Airys decline
Table games at the Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs casino brought in 32
percent more gross revenue in Decem-
ber than during the same month a year
ago, according to figures released
Wednesday by the state Gaming Con-
trol Board. The casino had 84 tables
both years, and revenue in December
2011 of $4.3 million topped the previ-
ous Decembers $3.2 million.
At Mount Airy Casino Resort near
Mount Pocono, 72 tables were oper-
ated in December 2011, compared to 81
a year earlier. Revenue fell nearly 6
percent, to $2.8 million from $3 mil-
lion.
Mount Airy fined by PGCB
Mount Airy Casino Resort was fined
$20,000 by the state Gaming Control
Board for making payments to North
American Warhorse Inc. for goods and
services during a time when the license
of the principal owner was suspended.
Louis DeNaples, the majority owner
of the Mount Airy Casino, also is the
majority owner of Warhorse, and when
DeNaples was suspended in February
2008, Mount Airy was prohibited from
conducting further business with War-
horse.
Facebook growing globally
In country after country, Facebook is
toppling the incumbent local social
network in what seems like an unstop-
pable march to global dominance.
After overtaking Microsofts Win-
dows Live Profile in Portugal and Mex-
ico in early 2010, Facebook eclipsed
StudiVZ in Germany and Googles
Orkut in India later that year, and soon
unseated Hyves in the Netherlands,
according to metrics firm comScore.
Now comScore is indicating the net-
work is likely to dethrone Orkut in
social media-mad Brazil.
Inside traders charged
Two hedge fund executives, four
financial analysts and a Dell Inc. em-
ployee teamed up in a record-setting
insider trading scheme that netted
more than $61.8 million in illegal prof-
its based on trades of a single stock,
authorities said Wednesday.
The illegal profits in the case were
made after tips were shared among
co-conspirators about upcoming earn-
ings announcements regarding Dell
and Nvidia Corp., according to court
papers.

INANUNPRECE-
DENTEDmove, on
Wednesday nearly
10,000 websites across
the Internet, including
such notable giants as
Wikipedia, Mozilla and
Google, either turned off the lights
(made the sites unavailable for as long
as 24 hours) or made public announce-
ments in protest of the Stop Online
Piracy Act and the PROTECTIP Act.
They intend to demonstrate that an
Internet operating under SOPAand
PIPAguidelines could be easily cen-
sored and controlled by the govern-
ment.
SOPAand PIPAare bills that have
been introduced into the House and
Senate, respectively, that are intended
to fight copyright infringement and
protect intellectual property. The bills
give the Department of Justice the
ability to obtain court orders against
websites and force Internet service
providers and others to suspend or
eliminate their accounts. In theory, this
would be utilized to shut down websites
that were peddling copyrighted (pirat-
ed) content and counterfeit drugs.
So whats the problem?
The bills effectively give the govern-
ment the power to shut down or censor
content frominternational sites that it
doesnt like, which many feel is a direct
violation of the First Amendment. They
also have the potential to create a slip-
pery slope of precedent wherein the
government could censor or shut down
any site. The actual wording of the bills
is so general and unspecific that some
argue they undermine the security
features built into every web browser,
not to mention the Internet itself, it
could be used to curtail normal Internet
operations, and could even impact
internal networks of corporations.
The Chinese government regularly
censors websites that it doesnt care for
a practice that regularly generates an
uproar, in some cases fromthe same
people that are speaking out in support
of these bills.
In my opinion, the measures (as
measures written by lawmakers with
more zeal than expertise are wont to
be) are rather hamfisted and vague
when you take into consideration the
intent.
Websites with contraband content
can simply reopen under a newname
until they can be shut down again,
meaning that a huge amount of time
and money will have been wasted on
procedure, and in the end nothing will
have been accomplished.
This approach could be likened to the
Prohibition movement of the1920s.
Theyll just drive once-legal activity
underground, spawn newer, more effec-
tive ways of hiding illicit activities and
make things more difficult for everyone.
Dont get me wrong: The lawis hope-
lessly out of date when it comes to
protecting both individuals and entities
on the Internet. Reformis needed.
But perhaps the ideas for howto
implement that reformshould originate
fromthe business leaders and tech-
nologists who understand howthese
things work, as opposed to legislators
that were in their 40s when the Internet
was invented.

WASHINGTON U.S. factories are
roaring back from the depths of the re-
cession, cranking out more machinery,
vehicles and energy.
Factory productionhas surged15per-
cent above its lows of 2 years ago and
is helpingdrivetheeconomys recovery.
A jump in manufacturing output last
month coincided with other data sug-
gesting that the economy began 2012
with renewed vigor. Wholesale prices
are tame. Demand for U.S. Treasury
debt should help keep borrowing costs
low. Even homebuilders are more opti-
mistic.
Signs are that manufacturing in the
U.S. is gaining global market share ap-
pearstobegrowing, andthiscouldbean
important dynamic supporting growth
in 2012, said John Ryding of RDQEco-
nomics.
Manufacturing rose 0.9 percent from
November toDecember, theFederal Re-
servesaidWednesday. It wasthebiggest
monthly gain in a year.
Factories benefited in particular in
the second half of 2011 from several
trends: People bought more cars. Busi-
nessesspent moreonindustrial machin-
ery and computers before a tax incen-
tive expired. And companies restocked
their supplies after cutting them last
summer.
The growth has fueled more hiring.
Factories added 23,000 jobs in Decem-
ber, the most since July. That helped re-
duce the unemployment rate to 8.5 per-
cent, the lowest level in nearly three
years.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple has been
selling thousands of iPads to grade
schools since its 2010 debut. Now it
plans to beef up the educational content
available for the tablet so teachers and
students find those purchases worth-
while.
At an event in New York today, Apple
will announce a set of tools that make it
easier to publish interactive textbooks
and other digital educational content,
said two people with knowledge of the
announcement, who requested anonym-
ity because they werent authorized to
speak publicly.
The plans, to be unveiled by Apple In-
ternet software chief Eddy Cue, are
aimed at broadening the educational
materials available for the iPad, especial-
ly for students in kindergarten to 12th
grade, the people said. By setting its
sights on the $10 billion-a-year textbook
industry, Apple is using the tablet to en-
courage students to shun costly tomes
that weigh down backpacks in favor of
less-expensive, interactive digital books
that can be updated anywhere via the
Web.
Apple will raise a lot of awareness
about digital textbooks and how educa-
tion is going digital, said Osman Rash-
id, whose company, Kno Inc., develops
e-textbook software.
Apples newsoftware is designed for a
broad range of authors to be able to pub-
lish the content in a digital format, simi-
lar towhat Amazon.comdoes withits di-
rect publishing tools, said the people.

Our beautiful
sunny morning
will soon fade
into a rather
cloudy afternoon
ahead of an area
of snow arriving
here tonight.
Snow showers
could arrive as
early as 5 p.m.
The snow is
associated with
a fast-moving
cold front so the
amount of snow
we get will be
light, probably
one inch or less,
but enough to
make some
roads slippery.
Sunshine returns
on Friday, with
dry weather last-
ing into early
Friday night. But
any time after
midnight, a
steady snow will
arrive and last
into Saturday.
Snow totals will
probably range
less than 6 inch-
es, but certainly
enough to shov-
el and plow
along with light
winds.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A potent storm system will continue to bring rain and snow to the Pacic
Northwest and the northern Rockies today, with breezy to windy conditions likely, as well. Rain and
higher elevation snow will also spread into northern California, while high pressure will keep sun-
shine in the forecast from southern California to the Southwest and the southern Plains.

P
aula Sokol and some class-
mates tried a fewtimes to ar-
range a 30-year reunion at
the end of last year for their Sacred
Heart High School Class of 1981, but
their attempts fell through. On one
planneddate, only a handful of people
showed up.
Sokol, 47, of Morningside said she
felt disappointed by the lack of her
classmates enthusiasmfor a reunion.
She sensed that peoples involvement
on Facebook, the popular social-net-
working site with more than 800 mil-
lion active users, dampened many
peoples interest because they already
were in touch and caught up with
classmates.
How, she thought, could an online con-
nection replace seeing people in person?
I want to see what you look like ... to sit
down and actually talk, Sokol says. Its
being in the same roomwith somebody. ...
Its a fun night to get together with people
you were friends with 30 years ago.
Facebookhas revolutionizedthe way we
communicate, and class reunions have
changed because of it. Some people keep
in close touch electronically with almost
daily updates online, so they dont feel
compelled to buy a ticket and travel across
town or across the country to see for-
mer classmates. For others, enthusiasm
for an event thats promoted among
friends on Facebook can be the tipping
point in making the decision to attend.
Edith Wagner, editor of Reunions Maga-
zine, has heard both sentiments from her
readers. She doesnt understand why
someone would find Facebook to be a re-
placement for seeing people in person.
You cant do hugs on Facebook, says
Wagner, whose magazine is based in Mil-
waukee. For people who use it as an ex-
cuse not togo, they were probably unlikely
to go anyway.
Wagner has heard that Facebook reduc-
es reunion attendance more with younger
graduates for 10- and15-year reunions. Ol-
der people, who spent a much longer time
in the pre-Facebook era, seem more likely
to approach reunions the old-fashioned
way.
Some reunion organizers thank Face-
book for helping themfind classmates and
plan their events.
CarrieWise, a1991graduateof NorthAl-
legheny High School in McCandless,
helped spearhead a 20-year reunion in Ju-
ly. The two-day event, which offered an
adults-only cocktail evening on Friday and
a family picnic on Saturday, drew a little
more than100 people froma class of more
than 500. Organizers found most of these
people on Facebook, Wise says. The rest
heard through word of mouth.
Wise, 38, didnt get the impression that
people who didnt attend the reunion used
Facebook as a substitute.
The feedback that we got from those
who didnt want to attend was that they
were no longer locals and it wasnt conve-
nient, says Wise, who now lives in the
Harrisburg area.
Facebook buzzed with friending after
the reunion, says Wise, who added more
than 50 friends to her network.
Margie Tardivo, a1976graduate of Apol-
lo-Ridge High School, says her 35-year re-
union this summer at a classmates farm
C M Y K
Life S E C T I O N C
timesleader.com
Time was when graduating from high
school meant leaving many classmates
behind, promising or vowing youd keep
in touch but then conceding the point
that it was tougher than you thought.
Not so anymore, in the age of social-
networking sites such as Facebook,
which have made it possible to keep in
touch with pretty much anyone any
time of day or to know whats going
on in someones life without ever ex-
changing a spoken word.
But the seemingly constant presence,
albeit not physical, of former classmates
has led some to believe the class reunion
is a doomed tradition of the past.
Not so fast, many locals says. If any-
thing, Facebook has helped to bring every-
thing and everyone together.
The Greater Nanticoke Area class of
1987 created a page dedicated to its 25th
reunion.
Every other year we had reunions there
wasnt a very big turnout, JoAnn Gill, 42,
of Nanticoke said. This year, because of
the Internet and Facebook, we were able
to get in touch with a lot of people, and the
response has been great. This will prob-
ably be the biggest one yet.
The GNA Class of 1987 25th Reunion
Facebook page contains information on
the date of the reunion as well as when
planning meetings take place. Classmates
chime in with a click of a mouse or some
keys, providing feedback on time and loca-
tion and throwing out ideas.
The Bishop Hoban class of 1989, for
whom the task of reunion planning wasnt
always easy, also created a Facebook
group to get the word out.
Joann Halbach, 41, of Shavertown was
an organizer for the classs 10-year reunion
in 1999, when Facebook wasnt around.
We took out the yearbook and got a lot
of phone numbers from there, she said.
Most of the peoples parents lived with
the same numbers, so then wed get in
touch with them that way, but we definite-
ly didnt find everyone.
Halbach said by the time the 20th re-
union rolled around, a much bigger por-
tion of the class was accounted for.
For the 10th reunion we had maybe 27

Social-networking sites have brought
former classmates together in many ways. This
photo of a St. Aloysius School class in1994-95, posted
on Facebook, is one of many floating around cyberspace
and likely to generate interest in actual reunions.
I was keeping in
touch with maybe five
or six people steadily
before the reunion
but after the reunion
Id have to say that
number is around 30,
and its because we
communicate through
Facebook.

would not have happened with-
out Facebook. Of the30to40peo-
ple who came, most had been in
contact with each other on Face-
book.
Some couldnt be there for
other reasons ... not because they
got their fill on Facebook, says
Tardivo, who lives inWashington
Township, Westmoreland Coun-
ty. Facebook seemed to bring us
together.
Colleges andtheir alumni asso-
ciations are facing some Face-
book-relatedchanges, too. At Set-
on Hill University in Greensburg,
officials say the websites influen-
ce has been positive. Many grad-
uating classes are forming Face-
book pages to stay connected.
Facebook gives the alumni as-
sociation an opportunity to en-
hance their traditional communi-
cation with graduates, says
Louise Lydon, director of nation-
al alumni relations for Seton Hill.
It becomes a mechanism by
whichwearecomplementingour
efforts to get people to pay atten-
tion to whats going on at the uni-
versity, she says. It gives them
additional reasons to come back.
I absolutely feel like it has been a
real advantage for us.
For high-school andother class
reunions, the companies that tra-
ditionally worked as planners are
facing uncertainty. A key role of
reunion companies has been
tracking down people, but now
many classmates are doing that
for free on Facebook.
Jonathan Miller, owner of Re-
united.com, a reunion company
based in Evergreen, Colo., says
Facebook has cost his 21-year-old
business a lot of clients.
People are saying they dont
need a reunion company because
we have Facebook, Miller says.
Miller is trying to re-form his
business and stay relevant
through the changes by down-
grading the companys involve-
ment. He works as a resource and
partner of the reunioncommittee
and provides special touches
such as name tags with senior
photos, aslideshowor aclass pic-
ture.
The future of the industry, and
the class reunion itself, is uncer-
tain, Wagner, of Reunions Maga-
zine, says.
Everything is going to be dif-
ferent. We just dont know what
its going to be, she says. I think
this is a very fluid situation, and
were learning how to deal with
it.

classmates, but for the 20th we
had 60-some. That was for a
class of just more than 200.
Facebook helped to keep
people united even after the
gathering, and plenty of new
friendships, which formed
long after high school, devel-
oped.
I was keeping in touch with
maybe five or six people stead-
ily before the reunion, Diane
DeFabo, 40, of Stroudsburg
and the Hoban 89 class said,
but after the reunion Id have
to say that number is around
30, and its because we commu-
nicate through Facebook.
The Hoban class of 1989,
whose alma mater has now be-
come Holy Redeemer High
School in Wilkes-Barre, now
tries to get together every oth-
er month, and members use
Facebook to plan and advertise
the gatherings.
Why do they decide to meet
in person so often, despite of-
ten already knowing whats go-
ing on in various lives thanks
to cyberspace?
Youre only really discuss-
ing limited things on Face-
book, DeFabo said. Theyre
just headlines of whats going
on.
I think it actually makes it
easier to meet someone you
havent seen in a while face to
face because you have a start-
ing point of conversation, and
it opens that door of communi-
cation.
Tammy Wenger, 41, of King-
ston and the Hoban class of
89, likes to see the screen
come to life.
Even though we see pic-
tures of their kids, their family,
its nice to see the snapshot in
person. Sometimes they bring
the kids or spouses when we go
out to dinner and you get to
meet them, really see what
your friends life is like now. A
picture online cant beat that.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: May I
respond to Iowa
Reader (Nov. 10),
the older woman
who asked you where
to turn when she
needed to be hugged
and listened to? Im
guessing she was married a long time
and doesnt have any real friends
just people from her married days.
I suggest she get a dog. While dogs
cant hug or hold, they do love un-
conditionally. A dog is always happy
to be with you, and will listen even
though it cant talk back. I would
have died of loneliness had it not
been for mine. Through her, I have
met other older single people on
walks and at the dog park. She has
given me a way to make new friends
and find some company.
Marcy in Oakland, Calif.
Dear Marcy: Thanks for your sug-
gestion. I promised Iowa Reader
that if other readers shared ideas I
would pass them along. Because of
you and other compassionate readers,
I received a wide range of heartfelt,
helpful advice. My newspaper readers
comment:
Dear Abby: I discovered a wonderful
way to receive much-needed human
contact partner dancing. I started
with the Argentine tango, which
might be a bit too much for some
folks, but I have learned to absolutely
love it. Its a safe way to enjoy an in-
timate connection with a member of
the opposite sex, no strings attached.
It takes time to master the skills,
but if you stick with it youll find a
community that shares a passion for a
skill thats challenging and rewarding.
Less-intimate forms of partner dance
include swing, salsa and country
dancing. If you love music and move-
ment, and could use some exercise, I
highly recommend it.
Catherine in Hawaii
Dear Abby: I was faced with the
same situation when my husband
passed away. I joined a Sunday school
and found what I needed. Often, the
only hugs I get are from people in our
group.
I volunteer in the kitchen and
since I like taking pictures, Ive been
appointed the class photographer.
Others have also utilized their hob-
bies to reach out to people. We go on
outings, and I have made many hug-
gable friends. I urge Iowa Reader
to visit places of worship and find
one that has an active senior adult
ministry.
Jo Ann in Arlington, Texas
Dear Abby: Volunteering to rock
and cuddle low-birth-weight babies
puts one in an environment where
personal problems matter less. Brush-
ing and petting dogs and cats at the
SPCA can provide meaningful interac-
tion because socialized animals are
more likely to be adopted. There are
poetry and writing groups, peer-to-
peer counseling at her Area Agency
on Aging, and contact sports like
pingpong.
Abby, I once read in your column,
The best way to have a friend is to
be one. To not overburden any one
friend, some conversations are best
done with God.
Rachel L.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Readers urge woman who needs a hug to start reaching out to others
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). Youll
lead conversations and influence
others strongly with your words.
You have the power to bring a
mood up or down with your cho-
sen topic of conversation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Misunderstandings and losses
will occur if you hurry into any-
thing now. Whats the rush? Take
your time and do your research.
Avoid major financial decisions
and risks for the time being.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). All that
you need to learn is readily avail-
able to you in your current situa-
tion. Maybe you think the energy
will change if you seek a new
position, but it wont. So instead,
work your current scene to the
best of your ability.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hone
your talents by exploring what
captures your interest and quick-
ly move past what doesnt. Youll
find friends and group activities
especially fun tonight.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your social
network could use some atten-
tion. Its an excellent time to
remember those who have sup-
ported you in the past with a
kind gesture. Also, make a list of
potential future supporters.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When
you like something, you often
like it so much that its hard to
keep from selling others on it as
well. Perhaps its about time you
made a commission. Consider
becoming an affiliate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be
very difficult for you to assess
your own situation. You need
a knowledgeable and objective
person to tell you where youre
going right
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Who
you are on the inside will make
a certain reality outside of you
come into being. Feel the energy
of what you want your future to
be, and youll naturally begin to
move toward it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your desire for greater peace on
the subject of relationships will
manifest itself in quiet moments
of reflection. Youll notice your
feelings with great specificity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your mind loves to complicate
things because unraveling the
puzzle keeps you sharp. All the
while, you know that youre play-
ing a game and when you want
to see the situation in an uncom-
plicated way, you will.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There
are many reasons you should
invest in yourself. For one, you
deserve it. Also, the world will be
a better place because you make
personal development a priority.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The dif-
ference between being extraor-
dinary and being ordinary is the
extra. Youll push yourself to
do more than whats expected.
Then suddenly doing more is the
new normal.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 19).
Youll approach life with new
creativity and a gleeful heart.
Potential mates and business
partners find you attractive
in February. March brings the
opportunity to put your faith in
a loved one, and this person will
make you proud. Special train-
ing in the fall will increase your
financial bottom line. Leo and
Pisces adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 20 and 6.

PUBLIC NOTICE
WEST PITTSTON BOROUGH,
LUZERNE COUNTY, PA
West Pittston Borough will be submitting
an application to the Pennsylvania Infra-
structure Investment Authority (PEN-
NVEST) for funding a project to rehabilitate
portions of its combined sewer system
and construct new or rehabilitated storm
water drainage systems. These systems
are located in and along Susquehanna
Avenue, York Avenue, Parke Street, Spring
Street, Washington Street, Luzerne
Avenue, Warren Street, George Street,
and Linden Street, in West Pittston,
Luzerne County, PA.
The proposed project consists of replac-
ing existing combined storm and sanitary
sewers which are undersized and back
sloped as a result of mine subsidence.
The new storm sewers would consist of
approximately 1,845 feet of 18 to 36 inch
pipes, new concrete street inlets and
manholes. The replaced combined sew-
ers would consist of approximately 3,650
feet of 8 to 24 inch pipes, new concrete
manholes, and new lateral connections.
All work will be conducted within existing
roads or Borough Right-of-Ways.
The estimated cost of the project is
$1,550,000. It is the intention of the Bor-
ough to finance the project with a combi-
nation of PENNVEST and/or private bank
loans, and Commonwealth Financing
Authority/Department of Community and
Economic Development grants. The cur-
rent annual residential wastewater collec-
tion system operation and maintenance
fee charged by the Borough to all Borough
property owners connected to the waste-
water collection system is $260/EDU. This
fee is proposed to remain the same as a
result of construction of the proposed
project.
A request is being made to the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Environmental protec-
tion to categorically exclude the project
from the State Environmental Review
Process (SERP). This request is being
made since the proposed project is not
expected to cause any significant, nega-
tive environmental consequences during
or after the projects construction.
Plans and construction costs are available
for review at the West Pittston Borough
building. Written comments on the pro-
posed project may be submitted for a peri-
od of 30 days from the date of this adver-
tisement. All written comments on the
proposed project should be sent to Mr.
Savino Bonita, Borough Manager, West
Pittston Borough, 555 Exeter Avenue,
West Pittston, PA 18643.
