WILKES-BARRE A million
dollar donation to the city and
subsequent purchases of fire-
fighting equipment were not ex-
empt frompublic voting, bidding
and purchasing rules, a media
law expert said Wednesday.
The city should have acknowl-
edged the donation when it was
received, and City Council
should have voted on the disbur-
sement of the money, said Melis-
sa Melewsky, media law counsel
for the Pennsylvania Newspaper
Publishers Association.
Mayor TomLeighton said City
Council did not need to
authorize the purchases
because council and
the administration had
nodiscretionary author-
ity of the disbursement
of the funding since it
was a private donation
held in trust by the city
that was earmarked for
the specific purpose of
purchasing fire en-
gines.
The three engines cost
$860,000, and the mayor said the
remaining balance of $140,000
was spent on completion of the
construction of Hollenback Fire
House on North Washington
Street.
The receipt of the donation
and the procurement
of the fire engines was
compliant with the
city charter, city poli-
cies, applicable state
law, and most impor-
tantly, the terms and
conditions of thedona-
tion, Leighton said.
Melewsky dis-
agreed.
Any official action
has to be approved or mentioned
at a public meeting of council,
she said. Just because money

CITY NEEDS SOME BRIDGE WORK
A
small section of one of the decorative columns of the Market Street Bridge fell to
the ground recently, closing part of the sidewalk to pedestrian traffic. Mike Taluto,
spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said PennDOT work-
ers will be at the site this morning to evaluate the situation.
MOCANAQUA A fire erupt-
ed in the basement of a double-
block house on Hill Street where
state drug agents later shut
down a methamphetamine lab,
authorities said.
Agents
watched Brian
Engle Jr., 26,
leave 19 Hill
St., where the
lab was alleg-

get a fire extin-

blaze before it caused much
damage.
Engle, of 212 Bilby Hill Road,
Shickshinny, later left the resi-
dence and was arrested in Nanti-

There was a fire last night,
apparently, it started before
agents hit the place with a
search warrant, said state Depu-

Engle was arraigned twice on
Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre Cen-

WILKES-BARRE If John J.
Butch McDevitt were alive
today, he would probably be
called a performance artist.
On a bizarre 1912 trip to New
York City, where he ostenta-
tiously threw around the money
he had acquired as a political
bribe, he quipped after turning
down an offer to go on stage:
This stunt is the extreme of
high art and must not be tainted
with commercialism.
In his own time, the Wilkes-
Barre resident was seen as a
character, a man whose effu-
sive personality and wildly over-
the-top stunts were good enter-
tainment. In his later years he
even became a popular speaker
at banquets, making new gener-
ations laugh at the exploits of
his youth.
This month is the 100th anni-
versary of McDevitts million-
aire for a day visit to Manhat-

into the areas folklore, amus-

Wal-Mart presents
plan to Wyoming
WYOMING Borough coun-
cil heard a presentation from
representatives of Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. regarding their
request for a highway occu-
pancy permit for their pro-
posed Exeter store.
The Wal-Mart representa-
tives, led by attorney Neil
Sklaroff of Ballard Spahr, ex-
plained to council some revi-
sions to their traffic plan and
some possible revisions to
traffic plans in the borough.
They explained the recon-
struction work for the 8th
Street intersection would be
the same as previously ap-
proved by Wyoming with Wal-
Mart paying all of the estimat-
ed $500,000 in costs. Second,
they detailed that based on
need, and at no cost to the
borough, Wal-Mart would sync
the lights at 6th Street and 8th
Street. Third, again at no cost
to the borough, Wal-Mart
would restripe Wyoming Ave-
nue at 1st Street to provide
better traffic flow and a turning
lane. Finally, the representa-
tives presented three possible
options to deal with traffic at
6th Street.
The Wal-Mart representa-
tives said this improvement
was not part of their resolu-
tion, and was simply presented
to council.
Two of the solutions for 6th
Street would eliminate more
than 30 parking spaces, and
the third, which would save
parking, would cost more than
$500,000 to implement. Wal-
Marts representatives stated
they were not willing to pay for
improvements at 6th Street
due to the cost and the fact
that they believed the traffic
problem was not significantly
increased by their planned
store.
They requested council
approve a revised resolution
covering the 8th Street recon-
struction, the light work at 6th
and 8th streets, and the restrip-
ing at 1st Street. Following a
discussion and questions,
council tabled any action until
their next meeting.
Council passed an ordinance
adopting a sewer fee and im-
plementing a $200-per-year
per-household sewer fee.
Council also entered into an
intergovernmental agreement
with Forty Fort Borough for
code enforcement services.
Finally council approved a
collective bargaining agree-
ment with the police for 2011
through 2013. The borough has
three full-time police officers
and also uses part-time officers
who are paid $12.50 an hour
but are not covered by the
agreement.
The agreement calls for a
$500 raise for each full-timer in
2012 and a $1,000 raise for each
in 2013. Salaries were frozen
last year.
Also, the police went from
30 sick days to 25, and new
hires will be required to pay 10
percent of their health care
insurance cost, up to a maxi-
mum of $1,200.
Mayor Robert Boyer also
noted the 2012 waste and recy-
cling schedules are available at
the borough office.
Earlier in the meeting, Boyer
administered the oath of office
to the three re-elected council-
men Stephen Nalewajko,
Frank Yurek and William Starr.
Nalewajko was re-elected
council president, Marcella
Starr was named borough
treasurer and secretary, and
attorney Jarrett Ferentino was
named borough solicitor. Penn
Eastern (formally Pasonick
Engineering) was appointed as
borough engineer. Prociak and
Associates was named auditor
for 2012. M&T Bank, UFCW,
and PLIGIT were all named as
depositories for borough funds.

mittee.
Jeff Tudgay was reappointed

arantz was appointed as deputy
fire chief. Robert Williams and
Dwayne Taggart were selected
as battalion chiefs and Dan
Wegrzynowicz will serve as
safety officer while Mike Yod-
snukis is assistant safety offi-
cer.
Newly elected commissioner
Frank Ciavarella questioned
why the commissioners didnt
fight harder against paying for
the installation of sewers in
Truesdale Terrace and Witin-
skis Villa. He said the state
should have been responsible,
and at the very least, the com-
missioners should have taken
the matter to court.
Bowers and Solicitor Robert
Davison said the state mandat-
ed the installation and that the
township pay for it.
Davison said Bear Creek
Township was forced by the
state to install sewers. They
fought it and ended up paying
three times of what Hanover
Township is paying. Commis-
sioners said they received
several grants to offset the cost
and will pay it off in 20 years.
Commissioners also agreed
to buy a 2012 Chevrolet Silve-
rado 3500HD 4x4 for the road
department for $59,206.

Warrior Run adopts
two uniform codes
WARRIOR RUN Borough
Council adopted two uniform
codes on Monday night.
The adoption of the 2006
edition of the International
Property Maintenance Code
repeals all other property main-
tenance ordinances presently
in force in the borough.
The borough had opted out
of the Uniform Construction
Code in 1994, but readopted it
Monday night.
The boroughs newly ap-
pointed Code Officer, Greg
Gulick of G & R Consulting,
will enforce the building codes
and will respond to property
maintenance complaints filed
by residents.
Pyrah said Gulick will be
compensated from fines and
permits and will also be paid
$25 an hour.
Pyrah said he had received
several phone calls from resi-
dents about these hourly fees.
He said, It is important to
make clear that there would be
discretion exercised in the
amount of hours worked.
Gulick said the council will
have control over which com-
plaints he will act upon. He
said complaints would be filed
by the borough and not by the
person filling out the com-
plaint form. The complaint
filer would remain confidential.
Pyrah reminded the council
that a three-member board of
appeals would be required in
case there was ever a dispute
over Gulicks findings.
In other business, the coun-
cil enacted an ordinance autho-
rizing a stop sign at the in-
tersection of Beaumont and
Chestnut.
Jim Davis, the boroughs
insurance agent, went over this
years coverage with the board,
explaining there would be a
$900 increase in charges for
workers compensation.
Discussions with residents
continued over the storm wa-
ter drainage problems in the
borough. Gulick said no grants
could be filed to repair the
storm water system until the
legal issues ofproperty own-
ership were cleared up.
Pyrah said that he would
research the agreement signed
by the borough with Reilly
Associates, which is managing
the project.

WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board voted
unanimously Wednesday to keep
any tax increase within a state
limit, meaning taxes cant go up
by more than 0.3688 mills. Amill
is a one dollar tax onevery $1,000
of assessed value; the maximum
increase for a home assessed at
$100,000 would be $36.88.
The state sets annual limits on
how much each district can raise
taxes. The limit can be exceeded
only through a voter referendum
or if the state grants exemptions
for specific needs such as special
educationcosts. If a district plans
to stay within the limit, it must
pass a resolution saying so early
in the year.
Wilkes-Barre Areas limit is 2.4
percent, which Business Manag-
er Leonard Przywara said would
raise about $1.15 million. The
vote does not mean taxes will go
up that much.

Act 32, whichrequires all munici-
palities and school districts with-
in a county to use one agency for
income tax collection. The mon-
ey must go into the Trust before
the district can access it.
The move is designed to save
money, but board member John
Quinn warned that some larger
municipalities in southeastern
Pennsylvania made the switch
earlyandhadproblemsretrieving
money from the Trust. We have
to be vigilant, Quinn said.
A motion to appoint Quinn as
volunteer coach for Coughlin Ju-
nior High School basketball
sparked some confusion and con-
troversy. The initial vote was 4-3
in favor with one abstention:
Christine Katsock left the meet-
ing early but voted no by proxy
through Robert Corcoran.
Corcoranaskedif Quinnshould
abstain, and Quinn seemed to
change his vote but didnt ex-
pressly say he abstained. There
was some discussion about what
thevotewas, andwhetherthemo-
tionhadpassed. Withone absten-
tion, a 4-3 vote would be a plural-
itybut not amajority; withtwoab-

Wendolowski said he would re-
search the issue and listen to the
recording of the meeting.
Quinn noted he would be vol-

SCRANTON Former Pitt-
ston Police Chief Jeff Tayoun has
filed a federal lawsuit against the
city and its mayor, alleging he
was demoted in retaliation for re-
porting a fellowofficer had taken
nude photos of an unconscious
woman.
The lawsuit, filed by attorney
Cynthia Pollick of Pittston,
claims Mayor Jason Klush took
various employment actions
against Tayoun after he reported
that officer Robert Semyon had
taken 46 photos of himself per-
forming sex acts on an uncon-
scious woman. Tayoun discov-
ered the images on a police de-
partment computer in October
2009.
Semyon was charged and
pleaded guilty last year to three
counts of aggravated indecent as-
sault and one count of invasion of
privacy in connection with the
case.
According to the suit, instead
of being commended for his ac-
tions, Tayoun was stripped of his
position as chief when Klush
took office in January 2010.
The suit alleges Klush contin-
ued to harass Tayoun by requir-
ing him to complete daily logs
when no other officer was re-
quired to do so, refusing to allow
other officers to donate sick time
to himand by failing to issue him
a commendation.
Klush could not be reached for
comment Wednesday night.
F EDERAL COURT
Ex-Pittston police chief sues city, mayor
Times Leader Staff
DALLAS TWP. The town-
ship zoning hearing board ap-
proved a request from Chief
Gathering LLC on Wednesday to
modify one of the conditions the
board stipulated upon its approv-
al of the companys application
for a natural gas metering station
last month.
The company received approv-
al Dec. 7 for the construction of a
metering facility to be located off
Hildebrandt Road about 1,300
feet from the Dallas School Dis-
trict.
The facility would measure the
quantity of gas flowing through a
not yet built Chief gathering line
that will tap into the Transco in-
terstate pipeline.
The condition Chief appealed,
which was one of seven posed to
the companys project, involved
the construction and mainte-
nance of a 6-foot-high fence with
barbedwire tobe noless than315
feet at all points surrounding the
metering facility.
The condition also stated if
Chief could not build the fence,
the company would need to de-
sign and construct a structure or
mechanism that would reduce
the maximum potential impact
radius for a large leak.
Jim Scott, senior vice presi-
dent of the Dallas, Texas-based
company, testified the construc-
tion of such a fence would inter-
fere with nearby wetlands sur-
rounding the property and abut
neighboring property owners
land as well as the Transco line
right-of-way.
He said Transco would not al-
lowthe constructionof a fence on
its right-of-way due to safety con-
cerns.
Based on testimony offered in
previous hearings by explosives
expert Ali Reza, Scott said build-
ing a fence would not reduce the
impact of a large leak. He said
natural gas is lighter than air and
it would rise as it traveled out-
ward. By the time the gas trav-
eled 315 feet, it would rise to a
minimum height of about 220
feet above ground.
Scott said the flammability of
the gas would also decrease by
the time it rose to that level be-
cause natural gas needs to be at a
certain concentration for it to
combust with an ignition source.
Zoning hearing board member
Bob Bayer also said in rendering
the decision and conditions, the
board did not consider a graph
Reza provided with the distance-
height ratios that would result in
a gas leak.
Scott told the board that in-
steadof fence construction, Chief
will install a fast-acting automat-
ic shutdownvalve upstreamfrom
the metering station and a check
valve to prevent the backflow of
natural gas downstreamfromthe
facility.

this August.
The reason Imexcited about this
and Ive been a physician for 51years
is I feel compelled to leave the medical
profession better than it is, Dudrick
said Tuesday. Were hoping our PAs
will beleaders of thefuture. Wewant to
make sure they have the tools in their
tool kit to do anything in the field.
Dudrick joined newly named pro-
gramDirector Scott Massey andDirec-
tor of Clinical Education Darci Brown
to tout the new program, which will
competewithestablishedphysicianas-
sistant programs in other area colleg-
es.
Having been a physician assistant
for 25 years, I can attest to the need for
PAs, Massey said. The country is ex-
pected to suffer a growing doctor
shortage, hitting its worst in 2020, he
said.
Physician assistants will not re-
place, but complement doctors, Mas-
sey said. A physician must supervise a
PA, though what the PA is allowed to
do can grow as the doctor gains confi-
dence in the assistants expertise.
The doctors have a powerful reason
to supervise wisely: Its their license
on the line, Brown said.
The newprogramwill accept 20 stu-
dents into a two-year masters degree
programnext year, andanother 20 into
a five-year masters program that al-
lows a student to start the masters
classes in his senior year.
Dudrick said he feels the Misericor-
dia program will rival others, in part
because Masseys expertise has made

Grant set for Coal Creek
State Rep. Gerald Mullery announced
today that Plymouth Borough will re-
ceive a $35,000 grant to stabilize two
sections of Coal Creek damaged by
flooding this summer.
The storm that brought 9 inches of
rain to the Plymouth area on July 3
caused flooding that ripped apart two
sections of Coal Creeks channel, said
Mullery, D-Newport Township. The
finances of local gov-
ernment are strained,
and federal help is
unavailable for this
project, so this state
grant is vital.
Joe Mazur, Ply-
mouth Borough man-
ager, said any amount
of funding is welcome
to help fix damage caused by the flood-
ing.
We will be meeting with officials to
discuss how we will use the money,
Mazur said. This wont go too far, but
we will take what we can get to fix the
creek.
Mullery said the state Department of
Environmental Protection is providing
the grant. The money will be used to
place riprap along the stream.
The damage brought visits the follow-
ing days from U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta,
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and State Sen.

Med school in vet study
The Commonwealth Medical College

PETA: Go veg, Geisinger
On the heels of the news that Dan-
ville-based Geisinger Health System is
now requiring that new hires test nega-
tive for nicotine, PETA sent a letter to
Geisinger CEO Glenn Steele with a
suggestion that the organization says
would aid the hospital in its mission to
cut health-care costs and create a
healthier work environment: Require
that all new employees be vegetarian.
In the letter, PETA explains that
vegetarians are less prone to heart dis-
ease, diabetes, obesity and cancer than
meat-eaters are and suggests that Geis-
inger encourage current employees to
embrace a healthy vegetarian lifestyle.
Eating an apple a day can keep the
doctor away, and that goes for hospital
staff too, says PETA Executive Vice
President Tracy Reiman. Its a win-win
decision. By promoting a vegetarian
work environment, Geisinger will send
an important message about healthy
eating, reduce health-care costs, and
save the lives of thousands of animals.

of appreciation during Wednesday

When emergency personnel were
called out for a fire at the corner of
Main and Buckingham streets in the
early morning hours of Jan. 2, Trans-

At the scene, only one person was
injured. An additional 12 people, four
dogs and one cat, however, were
stranded outdoors with temperatures
hovering around zero. Trans-Med
workers distributed blankets to those
in need and ultimately housed them at
the Trans-Med facility until Red Cross
was able to make other arrangements.
Once rooms were booked, the dis-
placed residents were transported by
Trans-Med to a local hotel.

WHAT S NEXT
The Luzerne County Council made its
first council member appointments to
boards and authorities Tuesday.
Tim McGinley was appointed to the
Joint Airport Authority overseeing the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International
Airport.
The county manager and council
chairman, or their designees, will also
serve on the board. Council Chairman
Jim Bobeck said he will soon choose a
council member to serve in his place.
The board, which includes the three
Lackawanna County commissioners, is
scheduled to meet at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 19.
The council chose Rick Williams to
serve on the Luzerne Conservation Dis-
trict board.
Votes were divided for the county Re-
tirement Board council representative
because three councilmen were nomi-
nated for the slot Eugene Kelleher,
Rick Morelli and
Edward Bromin-
ski. The board
oversees the em-
ployee pension
fund, and all three
nominees cited
their investment
experience.
Morelli received
three votes, while
Kelleher and Bro-
minski were tied
with four each.
The council voted
again, and Kelleh-
er received nine
votes. Councilmen
Stephen J. Urban
and Stephen A. Ur-
ban did not vote
for Kelleher.
Stephen A. Ur-
ban, a former com-
missioner, said the appointment should
go to a council member elected to a four-
year term for stability, and Kelleher was
elected to a two-year term.
The county manager, budget/finance
director, council chair and a member of
the retirement system also will serve on
the board. Bobeck said he will select
someone to fill his seat.
The county council will post informa-
tion on the county website, www.luzer-
necounty.org, detailing the nomination
and voting process for members of the
retirement system to select their repre-
sentative.
In other business, Councilman Ste-
phen A. Urban and former county com-
missioner Maryanne Petrilla will contin-
ue to serve on the county Flood Protec-
tion Authority because they didnt relin-
quish their seats.
Former commissioner Tom Cooney
resigned from his seat on the five-mem-
ber board, which oversees the Wyoming
Valley levee and flood mitigation pro-
grams. The other members of the board
are county Planning/Zoning Director
Adrian Merolli and county residents
William Falls and Doug Ayers. Falls and
Ayers were selected by the commission-
ers last month.
The authority will meet at 11 a.m.
Tuesday in the county EMA building on
Water Street, Wilkes-Barre.

City firefighters battled the
blaze at 241-243 Coal St. for sev-
eral hours, hampered by a nar-
row street due to a road widen-
ing construction project.
Most of the fire damage was
inside 243 Coal St, which has
been vacant for about a week
since Riveras parents, Robin and
Minerva Rivera, owners of the
property, evicted tenants after a
reported stabbing inside the resi-
dence.
The property was the scene of
at least two other stabbings
since May, according to court re-
cords and a police news release.
An investigation found the
blaze was set.
The fire investigator (Assist-
ant Fire Chief Bill Sharksnas)
has determined that it was inten-
tionally set and the investigation
has been turned over to the
Wilkes-Barre Police Department
Detective Bureau, said city
spokesman Drew McLaughlin.
Rivera said she has lived in 241
Coal St. for about four months.
After the tenants next door
were evicted last week, Rivera
believed they returned to re-
trieve belongings.
I thought it was people who
lived there picking up some of
their stuff, Rivera said. I didnt
think anything of it. Im upset
whoever did this.
Police said a man, whose
name has not been released, was
stabbed inside 243 Coal St. on
Jan. 4. The victim was found
with multiple stab wounds in-
side a vehicle in a parking lot on
North Wilkes-Barre Boulevard.
No charges have been filed.
A man suffered injuries to his
arm and leg in a stabbing inside
243 Coal St. on Sept. 23. Police
said the man claimed he was
stabbed during an argument
about $60, and did not want to
pursue charges.
Police charged Jesse Geasey,
31, with slashing six people in a
brawl outside 241 Coal St. on
May 6, prior to Rivera moving in-
to the residence.
Geasey is facing multiple
charges of aggravated assault
and simple assault in Luzerne
County Court.
Rivera said she does not know
if she will be permitted to move
back inside her residence.
I have to be scared to live in
my own house, she said.

Jan. 2.
Prohoska responded that it
was much easier to house the
victims on Jan. 2 than it would
have been in the past due to a
new facility.
Trans-Med has been in a com-
pletely upgraded headquarters
at 14 Marion St. for the past five
weeks. Prohoska noted that an
official grand opening is yet to
be scheduled but invited those
in attendance at Wednesdays
meeting to tour the new facility
at their leisure.
In other news, Luzerne resi-
dent Jeff Lafrance complained
about the garbage collection ser-
vice provided to the borough by
United Sanitation.
He claimed that his garbage
was not collected for 13 of 52
weeks during 2011. He also
claimed that United Sanitation
workers gave him conflicting in-
formation regarding how the re-
cyclables collected were actually
recycled.
Borough officials informed
Lafrance that the contract with
United Sanitation expires at the
end of 2012 and that they are
looking into alternatives for
2013 and beyond. Jancuska ad-
vised Lafrance to contact him
personally the next time United
Santitation failed to pick up his
garbage.
When Lafrance pointed out
that the borough could be mak-
ing money on the recyclables
being collected, he was assured
that those options are being ex-
plored as well.
Council member Judy Gober
acknowledged the complaints
about United Sanitation but
pointed out that United Sanita-
tion currently costs Luzerne
$30,000 less than their closest
competitors.
She went on to point out that
while many in the community
were concerned with recycling,
others were concerned with
cost.
Along similar lines, council
member Bill Turcan stated that
the profitability of recycling
would have to be considered be-
fore any changes were made.
Lafrance then responded that,
in his opinion, the health of the
environment trumped cost con-
cerns. His sentiments were
echoed by several audience
members.

A Pennsylvania man who admitted

must spend a weekend in jail after
having his probation revoked because
he told a counselor hed done it again.
Prosecutors say 44-year-old Paul
Ganter was nearly finished with court
supervision when he was ordered Tues-
day by a Columbia County judge to
serve time instead.
Ganter was sentenced to a year of
probation last January when he plead-
ed guilty to disorderly conduct. The

Ganter was charged after having sex
with the animals and filming some of

Marines investigating video
The Marine Corps said Wednesday it
is investigating a video depicting what
appears to be four Marines urinating
on the corpses of Taliban fighters.
In a statement, the Marine Corps
said it has not verified the origin or
authenticity of the YouTube video. But
it also said the actions portrayed are
not consistent with Marine values.
If verified the video could create a
strong backlash in the Muslim world
and beyond for the disrespectful ac-
tions it portrays.
A defense official, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity, said the case will be
referred to the Naval Criminal Investi-
gative Service, the Navys worldwide
law enforcement organization.
The Council on Islamic-American
Relations, a prominent Muslim civil
rights and advocacy group, quickly
condemned the video.
We condemn this apparent dese-
cration of the dead as a violation of our
nations military regulations and of
international laws of war prohibiting
such disgusting and immoral actions,
the group wrote in a letter faxed to
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
If verified as authentic, the video
shows behavior that is totally unbe-
coming of American military personnel
and that could ultimately endanger
other soldiers and civilians, the letter
said.

HARRISBURG Former U.S.
Rep. Patrick Murphy, who is seek-
ing the Democratic nomination for
state attorney general, has ac-
knowledged he never took the
Pennsylvania bar examination and
has not tried a case in the states
courts. Murphy said this week he
tookMinnesotas
bar exam after
graduating from
Widener Univer-
sity Law School
in Harrisburg in
1999. He said he
was entering the
Army Judge Ad-
vocate General
Corps anddecidedto take the Min-
nesota test because fellow officers
told him he would get the results
sooner.
Murphy, who lives in suburban
Philadelphia, graduated from
Kings College and his brother, J.J.
Murphy, served as Wilkes-Barre
city administrator under Mayor
TomLeighton, resigning in 2010.
He was admitted to the Pennsyl-
vania bar in2004basedonhis pass-
ing the Minnesota exam and five
years as an Army lawyer. The only
professional qualification the Penn-
sylvania Constitution requires for
the attorney general is that he or
she be a member of the state bar.
In the Army, he said he has tried
cases in federal, military and for-
eign courts in the United States
as well as IraqandBosnia but so
far not in Pennsylvanias civilian
courts. Since leaving the Army in
2004, he has worked for the Phila-
delphia law firms of Cozen OCon-

TEHRAN, Iran It seemed a clock-
work killing: Motorcycle riders flashed
by and attached a magnetic bomb onto a
car carrying a nuclear scientist working
at Irans main uranium enrichment facil-
ity. By the time the blast tore apart the
silver Peugeot, the bike was blocks away,
weaving through Tehran traffic after
what Irancalls the latest strike inanesca-
lating covert war.
The attack which instantly killed
the scientist and fatally wounded his
driver on Wednesday was at least the
fourth targeted hit against a member of
Irans nuclear brain trust in two years.
Tehran quickly blamed Israeli-linked
agents backed by the U.S. and Britain.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton denied any U.S. role in the slay-
ing, and the Obama administration con-
demned the attack. However, provoca-
tive hints from Jerusalem reinforced the
perception of an organized and clandes-
tine campaign to set back Irans nuclear
ambitions. The day before the attack, Is-
raeli military chief Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz
was quoted as telling a parliamentary
panel that 2012 would be a critical year
for Iran in part because of things that
happen to it unnaturally.
The blast killedMostafa Ahmadi Rosh-
an, a chemistry expert and a director of
the Natanz uranium enrichment facility,
the centerpiece of Irans expanding pro-
gram to make nuclear fuel. Roshan, 32,
had planned to attend a memorial later
Wednesday for another nuclear research-
er who was killed in a similar pinpoint
blast two years ago, Iranian media said.
The state news agency IRNA said
Roshan had organizational links to
Irans nuclear agency, which suggests a
direct role in key aspects of the program.
Another news agency, the semiofficial
Mehr, said Roshan had been interviewed
by inspectors from the U.N. nuclear
watchdog agency which Iran has ac-
cused of placing its scientists in peril by
including their names in public reports.

ISLAMABAD Pakistans prime
minister fired the defense secretary
Wednesday in a dispute over a memo
sent toWashingtonthat has enragedthe
army, escalatinga crisis pittingthe civil-
ian government against the powerful
military leadership.
The army warned darkly of grievous
consequences as a result of the stand-
off, whichishamperingU.S. effortstore-
build shattered ties with the nuclear-
armed nation that are needed to nego-
tiate an end to the war in neighboring
Afghanistan. The tensions have con-
sumed the ruling elite in a country that
is struggling to overcome economic tur-
moil and a bloody al-Qaida fueled insur-
gency.
The developments were a
sign of near-open conflict be-
tweenthearmy, whichhas of-
ten seized power in the coun-
trys six-decade history, and
the government. Relations
between President Asif Ali
Zardari andthegenerals have
never been good, but have
soureddramatically inrecent
months.
Instability has dogged the
government since it took office in 2008
after a 10-year army dictatorship, and
there have been frequent, wrong predic-
tions of its demise. Whileunpopular, the
government has a solid majority in par-
liament and its unclear whether the ar-
myor theSupremeCourt havethestom-
ach to unseat it.
The unsigned memo sent to
Washingtonasks for its helpinre-
ining in the power of the military
in exchange for favorable securi-
ty policies. It was allegedly mas-
terminded by Pakistan envoy to
Washington, who resigned in a
failedattempt tostemthefallout.
Acting under army pressure,
the Supreme Court ordered a
probe to establish whether the
memo had been sanctioned by
Zardari, aprospect that couldleadtoim-
peachment hearings. As part of the in-
vestigation, armychief Gen. AshfaqPer-
vez Kayani and the head of the main spy
agency, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha,
said in statements submitted to the
court that the memo was genuine and
part of a conspiracy against the army.

STATE COLLEGE The pre-
siding judge in the criminal case
of JerrySanduskysaidarguments
would be heard in less than three
months onpretrial issues.
The two-page order by Judge
John M. Cleland required the at-
torney generals office to turn
over informal discovery materi-
al to Sanduskys lawyers by next
Monday and set a Feb. 6 deadline
for the defense team to file any
discovery-relatedmotions.
Sanduskywas givenuntil Feb. 1
to ask if he wants a trial outside
Centre County or to request
bringing in a jury from another
county. Other pretrial motions
are due by March 1, with argu-
ment scheduledfor April 5inBel-
lefonte.
Prosecutors have already com-
plied with Clelands order that
they file a formal restatement of
the charges.
SanduskyattorneyKarl Romin-
ger called Clelands order a stan-
dard legal procedure designed to
keep the case moving.
The67-year-oldSandusky, who
was a longtime assistant football
coach at Penn State, is charged
with52criminal counts relatedto
theallegedsexual abuseof10boys
over a 15-year period. He has de-
nied the charges and remains out
on $250,000 bail while awaiting
trial.
Meanwhile, investigators with
the Pennsylvania attorney gener-
als office are re-interviewing cur-
rent and former employees of
Penn States athletic department
aspartof thecriminal caseagainst
Sandusky, a person familiar with
the case saidWednesday.
The person said current or ex-
staffers of the football program
were among those to be inter-
viewed. A spokesman for the at-
torney generals office in Harris-
burg declinedto comment.

STATE COLLEGE A
Penn State administrator
charged with failing to report
an allegation of child sex abuse
involving former defensive co-
ordinator Jerry Sandusky has
been diagnosed with a recur-
rence of lung cancer.
Athletic Director Tim Curl-
eys wife says doctors are mon-
itoring his condition after the
illness first diagnosed in June
2010 flared up again.
Melinda Curley said in a
statement Wednesday doctors
had removed half of one lung
after discovering a malignant
tumor, but neither chemother-
apy nor radiationwas required.
She thanked well-wishers
and requested privacy.
Tim Curleys lawyer Car-
oline Roberto said her client
doesnt want his healthtomini-
mize the serious legal issues.
Curley is on administrative
leave.
He is also charged with per-
jury and is awaiting trial.

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH Penn State
University President Rodney Er-
icksonwas grilledWednesdayby
alumni unhappy about how the
school handled a child sex abuse
scandal, the firing of longtime
football coach Joe Paterno and a
lack of trans-
parency over
the case.
Erickson is
attempting to
repair the
schools image
with alumni,
faculty, staff
and students
more than two months since for-
mer football assistant coach Jer-
ry Sanduskys arrest brought
controversy, criticism and con-
templation to the school.
Some alumni have criticized
the universitys failure to con-
duct acompleteinvestigationbe-
fore firing Paterno and ousting
Ericksons predecessor, Graham
Spanier, while decrying the lead-
ership as secretive and slow to
act.
Erickson, who was greeted by
politeapplause, toldthecrowdat
the start of Wednesday nights 1
1/2-hour meeting in Pittsburgh
that openness and communica-
tion are his guiding principles.
He said critics have accused the
school of having problems in
those areas recently and the
school will do better in the fu-
ture.
When he said he wont allow
the scandal to define the univer-
sity nor our outstanding foot-
ball program, the audience of
about 600 people burst into ap-
plause.
But the first questioner called
thetreatment of Paternouncon-
scionable, drawing some ap-
plause and a fewboos.
We will certainlywant tohon-
or Joe as the future unfolds, Er-
ickson replied.
And there was passionate and
prolonged applause for another
persons suggestion the board of
trustees step down.
I think the board will have to
make those decisions, Erickson
replied to some groans from the
crowd.
Erickson, who said an investi-
gation into what the trustees
knew and when is ongoing, de-
clined to answer several ques-
tions, such as why the school
fired Paterno when the coach
had already announced that he
wouldretire at the endof the sea-
son.
Asked for how many defend-
ants Penn State is paying legal
fees, Ericksonrepliedthat was a
difficult question to answer. He
said the school will start posting
details of what the crisis has cost
inlegal andother fees next week.
The alumni meeting came as
investigators re-interview cur-
rent and former employees of
Penn States athletic department
as part of the case against the 67-
year-old Sandusky, whos
chargedwithsexuallyabusing10
boys over a15-year period. Sand-
usky has denied the charges and
remains out on $250,000 bail
while awaiting trial.
The alumni meeting in Pitts-
burghis thefirst of three; theoth-
ers areplannedincomingdays in
suburban Philadelphia and New
York. They are being sponsored
bythePennStateAlumni Associ-
ation, which has received thou-
sands of emails and phone calls
about the scandal, association
president Roger Williams said.
Two Penn State administra-
tors are facing charges they lied
to a grand jury investigating
Sandusky and failed to properly
report suspectedchildabuse. Ga-
ry Schultz, a former vice presi-
dent, and TimCurley, the athlet-
ic director, have both denied the
allegations and await trial.
Paterno, a legendary figure in
sports, was fired and was re-
placedlast weekbyNewEngland
Patriots offensive coordinator
Bill OBrien. He has described
the scandal as one of the great
sorrows of his life and has said
that in hindsight he wishes he
had done more after allegations
against Sandusky were raised.

WILKES-BARRE A Pitt-
ston man was convicted by a
Luzerne County jury
Wednesday of threatening
another man with a gun.
Jeremy Ribaudo, 20, of
Rock Street, was found
guilty of charges of terror-
istic threats, simple assault
and disorderly conduct after
a two-day trial. A jury of
seven men and five women
deliberated for approximate-
ly six hours Wednesday be-
fore delivering their verdict.
Luzerne County Judge
Tina Polachek Gartley said
Ribaudo will be sentenced
on March 30.
Assistant District Attorney
Shannon Crake said Ribaudo
may receive a stiffer sen-
tence because he used a
deadly weapon during the
crime. Ribaudo was repre-
sented by attorney Charles
Ross.
According to court papers,
on October 11, 2010, police
said, Ribaudo and another
man got into an argument
and Ribaudo pulled a gun
and pointed it at the other
man. Court papers say Ri-
baudo discharged the gun
into the air, and the other
man ran away, fearing for
his life.
WILKES-BARRE A Har-
veys Lake man who prosecu-
tors say made threatening
phone calls to a deputy war-
den at a local state prison
was found not guilty
Wednesday of a related
charge.
David Andrew Hoover, 30,
of Noxen Road, was found
not guilty by a Luzerne
County jury of a single mis-
demeanor count of terror-
istic threats.
Luzerne County Senior
Judge Kenneth Brown dis-
missed a misdemeanor
charge of harassment.
A jury deliberated approxi-
mately one hour before de-
livering their verdict after a
two-day trial.
According to court papers,
Hoover, a corrections officer,
was charged in March 2010
after a deputy warden of the
State Correctional Institu-
tion at Dallas told state
police he was receiving
threatening phone calls.
After an investigation,
police said they learned
Hoover was allegedly mak-
ing the phone calls.

ing and with dignity. Words could
never express howproud we are of
himas we always were.
He was born in Kingston, son of
the late Edward and Irene Walter
Baranousky.
John was a devoted family man
who especially enjoyed spending
time with his granddaughter, Jes-
sika. They enjoyed hunting and
fishing together (fire hydrant!) We
will miss his many stories, espe-
cially the ones with his best friend,
Frank Catman Pisonick, who he
was friends with for almost 50
years. He loved his family very
much and we loved him just as
much right back.
John was well known for his
many years of workingat Pepsi Co-
la Bottling Company, and there
wasnt a place we went where
someone didnt knowhim. He was
also employed by Ward Truckload
Express, Altoona.
He had a great love of the out-
doors andanimals andwill be sore-
ly missed by his beloved German
shepherd and best bud, Jake.
He had an enormous amount of
respect for the U.S. Marine Corps,
which he enlisted in voluntarily
and served with pride.
He was preceded in death by his
brother, Edward, whom he loved
dearly.
He is survived by his wife, Eliza-
beth; daughter, Suzie; and his fa-
vorite granddaughter, Jessika,
whohe was soproudof; alongwith
aunts; nieces; nephews; cousins;
his mother-in-law, Lilo, whose
company he enjoyed very much;
and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-
law.
We always knew how strong he
was, but the confirmation came
from his courageous battle with
cancer. Although ultimately it
won, in his own way he beat it. He
never had pain and he never com-
plained. Jack, Dad, Grandpa. We
love youandour lives will never be
the same without you, but we will
beokaywelearnedfromthebest.
Family and friends may call
from6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the
George A. Strish Inc. Funeral
Home, 105 N. Main St., Ashley. A
Mass of Christian Burial will be at
10 a.m. Saturday in St. Judes
Church, Mountain Top. Interment
will be private and at a later date.
We would like to thank the doc-
tors, nurses and the many friends
he made at the Henry Cancer Cen-
ter, but would especially like to
mention Connie Bogimul, who
showed such kindness and caring.
We could never thank you enough.
We would also like to thank Dr.
Henry Smith Sr., who is not only a
doctor but his concern for John
and his family was deeply appre-
ciated.

Youre in pretty serious trou-
ble here, Mr. Engle, District
Judge John Hasay told him dur-
ing the second arraignment.
Engle was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $120,000 bail.
He was also charged with
stealing an air pistol from the
Walmart Supercenter in
Wilkes-Barre Township and
possessing heroin, according to
charges filed.
Engle allegedly told author-
ities he was making metham-
phetamine because he had no
job and needed money to buy
heroin.
Doherty said the investiga-
tion is continuing, and more ar-
rests are pending.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Agents said Engle was at the
Hill Street house Tuesday man-
ufacturing methamphetamine
in the basement of 19 Hill St.
while babysitting the 10-year-
old boy inside 21 Hill St.
After his arrest, Engle told
authorities he acquired the in-
gredients to make methamphe-
tamine by purchasing the items
himself or having other people
obtain the materials, the crimi-
nal complaints say.
Kevin Hall, who resides at 21
Hill St. with his child, told au-
thorities Engle had been com-
ing to the house to manufac-
ture methamphetamine for sev-
eral months. Hall claimed En-
gle gave him
methamphetamine to continue
to use the basement of 19 Hill
St. as a lab, according to the
criminal complaints.
No charges have been filed
against Hall.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Jan. 18.
Brian Engle is led from his arraignment Wednesday on charges
he operated a methamphetamine lab.

District judge
WILKES-BARRE The own-
ers of University Corners and its
anchor tenant R/C Theatres
Corp. have filed claims against
one another over the amount of
real estate taxes owed.
The dispute centers on the
commercial space exempt from
certain taxes due to a Keystone
Opportunity Zone designation.
The owner of the downtown
complex, South Main Street Re-
development LLC, claims at least
$226,282 is owed by the operator
of Wilkes-Barre Movies 14 as a re-
sult of the expiration of the KOZ
status at the end of 2010.
South Main Street Redevelop-
ment originally filed the suit in
Luzerne County Court last De-
cember. On Jan. 5 it was moved
to U.S. District Court, Scranton
because of the amount of money
indisputeandthelocations of the
parties.
University Corners LLC, the
majority owner of South Main
Street Redevelopment, is a cor-
poration established in Delaware
and managed by William Geary
Jr. of Los Angeles, Calif. The
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Business and Industry has a
one-quarter interest in South
Main Street Redevelopment.
R/C Theatres Management
LLLPandR/CTheatres Manage-
ment Corp are based in Reister-
stown, Md.
The complex owner claims
R/C Theatres breached the
terms of the lease by failing to
pay the 2011 taxes owed to
Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes-Barre Area
School District and Luzerne
County.
The owner is asking the court
for a judgment against R/Cinthe
amount of the taxes owed, plus
interest and penalties as well as
expenses.
But R/CTheatres filed a coun-
ter claim on Jan. 6 challenging
the owners figure.
Under the terms of the lease,
the theater is to pay a pro rata
share determined by the ratio of
the theaters leasable floor area
over the complexs leasable floor
area and multiplying that per-
centage by the real estate tax.
According to South Main
Street Redevelopment, the thea-
ters leasable floor area was
56,630 square feet and the com-
plexs gross leasable area was
85,474 for a ratio of 0.6625
The taxes owed in 2011 were:
$120,014 to Wilkes-Barre;
$56,981 to the county; and
$164,562 to the school district.
The amounts totaled $341,558
and when multiplied by the ratio
of 0.6625 the taxes owed was
$226,282.
R/C Theatres claims the
amount calculated by South
Main Street Redevelopment was
inaccurate due to an extension of
the KOZ status through 2011.
The theater owner said the ex-
tension reduced the city tax by
approximately 42 percent to
$69,400. The owner said it is en-
titled to an equivalent reduction
in school and county taxes.
Now playing in downtown: Tax spat
KOZ status an issue as R/C
Theatres and its landlord file
claims against each other.

WASHINGTON Federal au-
thorities on Wednesday an-
nounced the arrest of 50 people
on charges related to an alleged
identity fraud ring that operated
in numerous cities throughout
the United States, including Ha-
zleton and Philadelphia.
The indictment says the de-
fendants sold birth certificates,
Social Security cards and other
identifying documents of U.S.
Puerto Rican citizens to undocu-
mented aliens residing in the
U.S.
Authorities say that from
April 2009 to December 2011,
the defendants conspired to sell
the documents in 15 states and
Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory.
The documents sold for prices
ranging from $700 to $2,500.
A grand jury in Puerto Rico
issued the indictment on Dec.
29, but it remained sealed until
Wednesday. Defendants were ar-
rested in multiple districts
throughout the U.S. and Puerto
Rico.
The investigation is the culmi-
nation of an extensive investiga-
tion by the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcements Home-
land Security Investigations unit
and other state, federal and local
law enforcement agencies, said
John Morton, director of the
unit.
In the Hazleton case, three de-
fendants, Rafael Joaquin Beltre,
Paulina Pineda-Castillo and Or-
lando Guzman Garcia are ac-
cused of conspiring to sell two
Puerto Rican birth certificates
that were delivered to a Hazle-
ton address in May 2011. The in-
dictment does not list the ad-
dresses of the defendants.
In a prepared statement, U.S.
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
said he has been trying to draw
attention to problem of fraudu-
lent document rings for six
years.
Barletta, formerly Hazleton
mayor, said he had testified be-
fore a Senate judicial committee,
detailing howillegal aliens travel
to Puerto Rico to buy identities
of Puerto Rican citizens, then
utilize those documents to enter
the U.S. and obtain drivers li-
censes and other documents
that allow them access to state
and federal benefits.
Most of the illegal aliens we
arrested for committing serious
and violent crimes in Hazleton
didnt cross the southern border
they came into an East Coast
airport or seaport using fraudu-
lent documents, Barletta said.

The right thing to do
is to cut county spending
A
mazing! The first thing that interim
Luzerne County Manager Tom Pribula
mentions is an option to raise the
property tax rate 4 percent. Stop it with
that kind of thinking.
Spending too much? No problem. Raise
taxes. And people laugh at the Tea Party.
Taxed enough already is its cry, yet no
one in authority listens.
I always wished I could get a glimpse of
politicians household budgets and com-
pare them to the budgets they oversee as
government officials. Cant spend more
than you take in at home, can you? Why
not apply the same principle to govern-
ment spending?
Can we look forward to county cost-
cutting by reducing the county payroll, or
are we going to perpetuate the party by
laying off no one but raising taxes?
Members of the Luzerne County Coun-
cil, if you opt to raise taxes, you are noth-
ing but a bunch of political hacks. How
about doing the right thing for the tax-
payers of Luzerne County for a change?

Dems need to wake up
and get in the game
H
ow dumb are we?
Has anyone taken notice of how the
voting in Iowas caucuses was done?
You didnt have to register; just show up,
they give you a paper ballot and you mark
in for whom you are voting. Then they
hand-count the ballots.
Did anyone notice that the Republicans
wont allow electronic voting machines for
voting in the primaries? Did you also no-
tice how anyone could walk in and vote?
But when it comes to voting in the general
election, you have to have proper ID, and it
has to be a certain type of ID. That is the
new law passed in a lot of key battleground
states.
These states are controlled by the Re-
publicans, because in the 2010 elections
the Democrats were too lazy to get out to
vote. Now we are paying the price.
No matter what Fox News says, there is
no voter fraud and thats a fact you can
look up. Fox seemingly doesnt give facts;
it gives propaganda.
If you want President Obama to do what
he says, then get out and vote for the peo-
ple who will support his agenda. We need
to get rid of the blue dogs and put in
some true Democrats.
It took President Bush and Vice Presi-
dent Dick Cheney eight years to almost
sink this ship; lets give Obama a decent
shot at making it respectful again. If they
get in, the Republicans will finish the di-
saster Bush started.
All Im asking is this: Stop watching Fox

Taxpayers should not
have to pay for appeal
W
ill someone beam me up?
A few years ago corrupt Luzerne
County Judge Mark Ciavarella was a
millionaire. One would think the appellate
court judges who ruled that the taxpayers
will pay for his appeal would ask these
questions: Where is the money? Did you
transfer it to loved ones?
If he gave all his assets to his family,
then the judges should have ruled that
those who reaped the benefits pay for his
appeal. Mr. Ciavarella has cost the tax-
payers enough money.
Chief Public Defender Al Flora, who
over and over has expressed frustration
about the backlog in his office, will find
the time to appeal the Ciavarella case. If
Mr. Flora were alive during Jesus era, he
could have saved him from the death pen-
alty.
The rich and powerful use the judicial
system to their advantages; none of this
makes any sense.

Marino, Barletta take
steps to cut spending
I
have a responsibility to provide for my
family, just as our elected officials have a
responsibility to provide for their con-
stituents. Im happy to be able to say that
Congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Mari-
no are standing up for my interests.
Our federal government has developed a
serious habit of spending more money
than it can truly account for. It has dug
itself a multi-trillion-dollar hole that is
going to take a lot of time to get out of,
and our administrations plan of spending
its way out isnt the right plan. We have to
cut spending, and we have to do it as soon
as possible.
A Balanced Budget Amendment, which
Congressmen Barletta and Marino and a
large part of Congress support, would
force our government to spend only what
it has. In a time of economic uncertainty,
our elected officials must use extreme care
with our tax dollars.
Thanks must go to Congressmen Barlet-
ta and Marino for making sure that care is
taken.

For Republican Party,
its anybody but Obama
I
am hardily surprised at the lead of Mr.
Mitt Romney. The part that puzzles me
is how, for most of the time, it was Any-
body but Mitt.
These were not the words of the Demo-
cratic Party. These were the words of the
party of no, the party that now wants us
to forget that cry and adopt Anybody but
Obama.
They want us to forget about the years
of their opposing everything the president
tried to do, or not do. It didnt matter if it
was a GOP idea or that of a mule; if he
supported it, it was attacked as wrong for
the country and wrong for the people.
If it was all that wrong, why not let him
do it and laugh at him as it became a flop?
They could have come off looking like
geniuses, but instead they look like a polit-
ical party that doesnt care if the country
falls off the cliff as long as Obama looks
bad and is a one-term president.
Now, after months of trying to find
someone to run against Obama who looks
like a new mind in the GOP, they come up
with nothing better than the only person
they themselves did not want.

Student worried about
future job prospects
I
am frightened for my future. It is ex-
tremely hard to find a job in todays
economy, and I think it is only going to
get harder. I am afraid that after spending
thousands of dollars and all of my time and
hard work in college, that it will not have
been worth going.
Unless you want to be a doctor or a
nurse, the demand for jobs in almost every
field is in decline. No matter how hard I
try to complete all homework and get a
100 percent on every test, there might not
be a job for me.
I do not want to emigrate to China or
Japan to get a job that I want or spend
thousands of dollars on an education for
nothing. So, I hope someone can fix the
economy and get teens, like me, dreaming
of the future again.

ITH THE econo-
my stuck on glum
and the states job-
less rate at 7.9 per-
cent, this might look like the
wrong time for the welfare de-
partment totell Pennsylvanians
that their financial assets could
make them ineligible for food
stamps.
But since the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program
is designed to serve the needy,
its hardtofault thestatefor rou-
tinely certifying need. Howelse
does government ensure that
food stamps are legitimately is-
sued and public dollars are
properly spent?
The Department of Public
Welfare already requires a food
stamp applicant to have income
under 160 percent of the federal
poverty level to be eligible
($22,350 is poverty level for a
familyof four). Accordingtothe
Philadelphia Inquirer, DPW al-
so will mandate, beginning in
May, that recipients younger
than 60 have no more than
$2,000 in savings or other as-
sets and those older than 60
have no more than $3,250. A
persons home, retirement ben-
efits and one vehicle will be ex-
empt from the asset count; any
additional vehicle worth less
than$4,650alsowill beexempt.
Pennsylvania used an asset
test up until three years ago
whenit was discontinuedbythe
Rendell administration. Now
the state will join10 others that
alsoimposea$2,000asset limit.
The number is where we dis-
agree with DPW. The U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture said
the $2,000 cutoff used by vari-
ous states was set in 1980. If it
had risen with inflation, it
would be about $5,491 today.
Its no surprise that in recent
years four states have raised
their asset ceilings to $5,000 or
more. Pennsylvania should do
the same, anda thresholdinthe
neighborhood of $8,000 would
not be out of line.

Check assets,
but raise limits
W
ITHAfirst-year re-
cord like Gov. Tom
Corbetts, its a
good thing he still
has three more years to go. Or
maybe not.
Another three years could
give Corbett time to make some
progress, at least, toward press-
ingissues facingthe state such
as fixing roads and bridges, or
making natural gas drillers pay
their fair share. There even
might be time to do something
about handgun violence that
tragically ends hundreds of
Pennsylvanians lives annually
(were the governor not such a
gun-rights stalwart).
At the same time, there could
be ample time in a first-termad-
ministration for more mischief
and wrongheaded policy push-
es. That could mean further en-
ergy wasted on the governors
top-of-agenda school voucher
plan, or a poll-tax-like mandate
that voters must produce gov-
ernment-issued photo ID.
With a new state budget def-
icit of $500 million looming,
more painful spending cuts
seem assured because of Cor-
betts unworkable no-taxpledge.
Fromthispoint then, thehope
is that Corbett focuses laser-like
onthereal priorities, whilefinal-
ly breaking free from his ideo-
logical straitjacket on taxes.
Atop the agenda should be
those two big-ticket items that
eluded Corbett last year:
Finding the projected$3.5 bil-
lion that is needed yearly to re-
pair Pennsyl-
vanias more
than 5,000
structurally
deficient
bridges, as
well as crum-
bling high-
ways.
And finally levying a fair ex-
traction tax on Marcellus Shale
gas explorationwhileimproving
environmental oversight, as
done in other drilling states.
Both issues will require more
leadership from the governor,
especially since both could
bring in additional revenue that
might take some of the pressure
off other areas of the state bud-
get.
While the hallmark of Cor-
betts first year has been the on-
time balancing of the budget
without a tax increase, it has
come at the price of cuts to edu-
cation and the social-welfare
safety net.
With the new year, though,
Pennsylvania has a governor re-
garded favorably for what his
supporters describe as calm
leadership. He offers a reassur-
ing presence, demonstrated
most clearly by the impressive
preparations for Hurricane
Irene. And, yes, Corbetts watch
finally brought motorists a text-
ing-and-driving ban.
Yet this governor still has a
mighty long way to go before
crafting a worthy legacy.

brought to Wilkes-Barre by his
parents.
Early on he managed several
traveling baseball teams. If he ev-
er workedwhenhe was young, he
kept that fact a secret, once he be-
came known as an eccentric.
Local legend
Hisstuntsbecamelocal legend.
In 1914 he had a Plaster of Paris
statueof himself madeandtookit
to Washington, D.C., to try to get
it into the national Hall of Fame.
In Washington the tall red-haired
man with a cigar displayed an
amazingabilitytoget otherstogo
alongwithhisantics. Uponarriv-
al in Washington with some
friends and newspapermen, the
party was met by 21 members of
the famous U.S. Marine Band,
said The Times Leader years lat-
er. McDevitt was allowed to ad-
dress the House of Representa-
tives and Speaker Champ Clark
told McDevitt he would consider
Butchs request that Congress ac-
cept the statue.
Of course the statue never
madeit intoanyhall of fame, but if
McDevitts real goal was a day in
the national limelight, that was
accomplished.
Two years later he traveled to
Boston, sayinghewantedtofinda
wife.
Thousands turned out to
greet him in that city, said The
Times Leader account. Howev-
er, after meeting scores of appli-
cants, McDevitt returned to
Wilkes-Barre minus a missus af-
ter rejecting all candidates for his
hand.
But he did return knowing that
onceagainhehadbeenthecenter
of attention, somethingfewif any
others could have pulled off.
Supreme moment
McDevitts supreme achieve-
ment, one that he would milk for
all it was worth on the local ban-
quet circuit for decades, was his
1912 visit to New York City to
spend a political bribe. His goal,
hesaidinamockeryof theoldbig-
time spenders like Diamond Jim
Brady, was to live like a million-
aire for a day.
Always fascinated by politics
and politicians, McDevitt used
chicanery, suchasposingashisri-
valsmanagerandangeringvoters
to win the Democratic nomina-
tionforLuzerneCountytreasurer
in the primary election of 1912.
Theparty, alarmedbyhis unex-
pected presence on the ticket,
then paid hima sumvariously es-
timatedat $1,000or moretowith-
draw, which he did.
Said McDevitt after the event,
My sell-out was profitable, andif
I receive the nomination for Con-
gressI will repeat thetransaction.
It pays me to be in politics.
That money, though slight by
todays standards, was a princely
sumacenturyago, andit financed
the high point of his performance
art.
Onthemorningof Jan.12,1912,
McDevitt boarded a Lehigh Val-
ley train he had chartered -- ac-
tually an engine and three coach-
es. Accompanied by local news-
paper reporters anda fewfriends,
he headed to New York City to
spend a day that would bring him
his greatest fame.
George M. Cohan connection
Afterlunchat theWaldorf Asto-
riaHotel, McDevitt enjoyedabox
seat for a performance of the Ge-
orge M. Cohan show, The Little
Millionaire. GettingCohantogo
along with his gag, he gave a
speech to the audience and got
Cohan to throw a few references
to Wilkes-Barre into the show.
Backat thehotel, hetookabath
in milk and wine, explaining that
he understood this was common
practice for millionaires.
Even breakfast the next day
was a performance. Said McDe-
vitt later, It cost me $13.60 to re-
ach something I could eat. I am
deficient in knowledge of Greek,
Latin and French so that I could
not read what was on the bill-of-
fare. So I ordered everything on
the list until I got something I
couldeat, meanwhile slipping ev-
erything under the table.
Using the last bit of money he
had, McDevitt returned to
Wilkes-Barre as a passenger on a
scheduled train. Back home, the
millionaire for a day went intoa
restaurant near the train station,
downed a big breakfast and walk-
ed out without paying.
Apart from his grandiose
stunts, McDevitts life appears to
have been largely one of hanging
around politicians and business-
men, attending free dinners and
self-publishinghis views onwhat-
ever topic struckhis fancy. Living
with a sister in South Wilkes-
Barre, he evidently had little in
the way of personal expenses, of-
tenrelyingonotherpeopletopick
up his dining tabs.
ApowerintheareasDemocrat-
ic Party in the 1920s and long af-
terward was James Law, who
chaired election campaigns and
served as Wilkes-Barre postmas-
ter. When the Democrats would
meet at the Hotel Redington,
McDevitt would invariably be
there apparently more for food
than strategizing.
Somebody would buy dinner
andhedsit downandeat it. Law
reflected many years later. He
never paid for anything. Many a
meal I bought for himthere.
Took act on the road
Local people seemed never to
tire of McDevitts stories of his
free-spending trip to Manhattan,
andhefoundmanyvenuesfortell-
ingit over andover. He evenwent
ontour, witharrangements made
byNewYorkvaudevillepromoter
B.F. Keith.
He got the full treatment from
Keith and packed them in at all
the theatres, said Tom Phillips,
publisher of a Sunday paper The
Wilkes-Barre Telegram, reflect-
ingonMcDevitt manyyears later.
All he did was walk out on stage
with a cane and a straw skimmer
andtell his storyof millionairefor
a day.
McDevitt seemed to age grace-
fully. In the1930s he participated
in the Federal Writers Project, a
government program that paid
writers to produce their work. He
also kept his name in print with
letterstotheeditorsof local news-
papers.
In1946, at age 70, he displayed
his old wit when he reflected on
his chosen way of life. If I recall
rightly, youwill findthat theLord
atsometimeorotherpromisedus
eternal rest. That sounded good
to me.
McDevitt died on Feb. 2, 1951.

John Butch McDevitt is in the back seat of a car in Washington
during a 1914 trip there to present a statue of himself to Congress.
On his own fame: I knew the
people of Wilkes-Barre would
awaken to the fact that a genius is
in their midst.
On what makes an ideal wife: I
would also seek the more essential
qualities, such as being able to
take in washing.
On why he fled town after being
accused of election fraud: The
evidence was too convincing.
On why he embezzled money
while working as a newspaper ad
salesman: I was a little short. So I
borrowed it.
To a man who forgave him half of
the $60 McDevitt owed: And
just to show you that Im not out-
done by anybody, not even you, Ill
knock off the other thirty.
On why he had a statue of him-
self made: I did not want to take
chances on the people not know-
ing who McDevitt was.
MCDEVI TT I N HI S OWN WORDS:

doesnt remove the public voting re-
quirements of theSunshineAct. Asignif-
icant amount of money was being spent.
The vote should have been public.
Melewsky said even if there was a vio-
lation of the Sunshine Act, the one-year
statute of limitations has long expired.
Well-kept secret
Leighton said the $1 million anony-
mous donation given the city for the fire
department in 2005 should be celebrat-
ed.
But the gift was never made public un-
til a resident Karen Ceppa submitted
a right-to-know request regarding the
purchase of the fire engines.
This should have been celebrated in
2006, not five years later, said Ceppa,
who continues to question the purchas-
es. To me, the mayor did this illegally.
He handled it without anybodys knowl-
edge. Everybody knew they needed fire
trucks, but why the secrecy?
The city should have acknowledged
the donation when it was received, Me-
lewsky said. That it was not revealed,
well thats unusual.
Ceppa, who lost her bid for city con-
troller in November to Kathy Kane, said
there is nothing in the city charter that
allows for purchases like the fire engines
to be kept from the publics eye.
Why wasnt the purchase put out for
bid? Ceppa asked. It makes you ques-
tion who the donor is and why the do-
nors name has been withheld.
Melewskysaidthe citycannot be com-
pelled to reveal the name of the donor,
but can do so if it chooses.
It seems that there are a lot more
questions for the city to answer, she
said.
Ceppa said the issue will not go
away. She said Leightons handling of
the purchase and his refusal five years
later to provide details and answers will
make it difficult for himto keep the trust
of the taxpayers.
Leightonvigorouslydefendedthe pur-
chases Tuesday night when he read a
prepared statement to City Council.
Any attempt to misconstrue this act
of generosity is misguided, he said. I
am personally very grateful for the do-
nor stepping forward to aid the City of
Wilkes-Barre at a time whenour city just
started to recover fromserious financial
difficulties.
This type of philanthropy should be
celebrated by the community and not
the subject of persistent gossip and con-
spiracy theories.
Leighton said he respected the re-
quest of the donor to keep the donation
private.
It was given for use in the fire depart-
ment and thats howwe used it, he said.
Documents sought
The Times Leader has submitted a
right-to-knowrequest related to the pur-
chase.
JimRyan, city clerk, said his office has
been inundated with right-to-know re-
quests, and they will be handled one by
one, based on their dates of submission.
Asked if council approved the pur-
chases, Ryan said, I honestly dont
know. We are looking through our re-
cords.
Council Vice Chairman Bill Barrett
was on council in 2005 and 2006, and he
said he was not aware of the $1 million
donation until the other day.
We should have been in the loop, but
we werent, Barrett said. Everything
may have been done appropriately, but
this does cast a shadow.
GIFT
has been passed to county Inter-
im Manager Tom Pribula.
Nine of the countys 11 collec-
tive bargaining agreements are
locked in until the end of 2013 or
2014. Newer employees would be
the first furloughed, sosupport to
reopen contracts must also come
from those with more seniority.
Paula Schnelly, whorepresents
more than 500 employees in
three countys unions, said the
members would have to vote to
reopen contracts.
It wouldnt beadecisionmade
by me, said Schnelly, of the
American Federation of State,
County & Municipal Employees,
or AFSCME.
Schnelly said she cant recall a
contract reopening in her 18
years with AFSCME.
Binding arbitration sought
One of the three AFSCMEcon-
tracts covering 113 court-related
workers is upfor renewal because
it expired Dec. 31. Union mem-
bers already decided to seek
binding arbitration because they
reached an impasse with the for-
mer administration, Schnelly
said.
Expired contracts continue un-
der the same terms without pro-
viding raises.
A contract covering 10 county
detectives also expired Dec. 31,
and this self-represented bargain-
ing unit also has the option to
seek binding arbitration.
Tony Seiwell, who represents
more than 300 prison workers
through the Public Service Em-
ployee Union Local 1300, said he
would seek input from workers
on contract reopening but does
not support the concept.
On the surface, Im not inter-
ested in opening up collective
bargaining agreements until they
expire, Seiwell said.
The prison contract expires at
the end of 2013. This union con-
tract includes binding arbitra-
tion, and members are guaran-
teed 3-percent raises this year
and next year. Unionized prison
workers wont start paying to-
ward health care until the start of
2013, when they will contribute
$60 per month.
Seiwell said prison workers
provide essential services pro-
tecting the public, and a contrac-
tual minimum manning require-
ment should help insulate mem-
bers from layoffs.
Im quite certain there will be
discussions about what can and
cant be done, but the prison is
unique, Seiwell said.
Voluntary layoffs
Seiwell said he supports a pro-
posal from Schnelly to see if any
union workers are interested in
voluntary layoffs.
Schnelly said she proposed the
voluntary layoff idea to Pribula
because at least two AFSCME
members offered to be fur-
loughed and collect unemploy-
ment during layoffs in 2008. Prib-
ula asked county managers to
seek interest in voluntary layoffs
this week.
Schnelly also suggested to
Pribula the possibility of provid-
ing extended health care to en-
courage older workers to leave.
Coverage could be provided until
these workers are eligible for
Medicare at age 65, she said.
There are quite a few people
between the ages of 60 and 65
hangingonbecause they couldnt
afford health care. It would be a
lot cheaper to pay their health
benefits four or five years than to
pay their salary and benefits on
top of it, Schnelly said.
Representatives of Teamsters
Local Union401andthe court-ap-
pointed professional union could
not be reached for comment
Wednesday.
Pribula said he will propose all
feasible budget options to the
council, though a cost-and-sav-
ings analysis would be required
for the extended health care pro-
posal. The council has until Feb.
15 to amend the budget, and the
new home rule charter requires
council to unveil the budget sev-
en days before a mandatory pub-
lic hearing on the changes.
Ataxincreasewill beoneof the
options presented to council.
Nothing is off the table to
make a budget work and to make
things more financially sound go-
ingforward, Pribula said. Every
option will be looked at to make
the right fiscal decisions.
$15M bill for health care
The county pays roughly $15
million for health care annually,
with about $1.2 million contrib-
uted by employees, county offi-
cials have said.
Bobeck said the short time
window limits budget options
that may be explored, though
hes interested in all viable op-
tions.
Councilman Tim McGinley,
who has been designated as the
councils budget and council
clerk liaison, said council wel-
comes input from employees,
though ideas must be concrete,
doable and ready for implemen-
tation to affect the 2012 budget.
We want to keep as many ser-
vices as we can for the people of
the county. Its a dilemma withno
easy solutions, McGinley said.
UNIONS
Paula Schnelly, Luzerne County AFSCME union head, does not
know if union workers would be willing to reopen contracts.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 2012
timesleader.com
T
he expression on his face might
indicate hes always in a fog, or
furious with himself or some-
body else over a play that turns into a
mistake.
Thats the wrong way to read Eli
Manning.
Hes not only viewed as the other
quarterback in just about every big
game he plays, Eli isnt even the most
favored quarterback in his family.
The New York Jets are getting goog-
ly eyes over the prospect they may be
able to land Peyton Manning as their
quarterback for next year. Even though
Peyton Manning is still property of the
Indianapolis Colts, missed all of last
season and still hasnt been cleared to
play after undergoing two operations
for nerve damage in his neck.
Sometimes, even the experts brush
off Eli Manning as damaged goods.
But he was good enough to win a
Super Bowl for the New York Giants
once and is very much in play to do it
again.
Hes so smart, Giants running
back Ahmad Bradshaw said, and he
puts us in the right position. And we
run away from the safeties and from a
lot of pressure.
People dont realize how much
stress Eli Manning takes off his team-
mates as the quarterback of the Gi-
ants.
It is more than his ability to handle
playoff pressure by making the right
reads and coming up aces during diffi-
cult, snap decisions. Eli Manning can
throw the ball a little bit, too.
He threw it for three touchdowns
and 277 yards Sunday in a Wild Card
playoff game against Atlanta, never
giving the Falcons a chance as the
Giants rolled away with a 24-2 victory.
He was amazing, said Giants wide
receiver Victor Cruz. It was fun to
watch.
It is not the first time we watched
this kind of big playoff performance
from Manning.
He went up against the great Brett
Favre in the ice box of Green Bay, and
made all the throws in an NFC cham-
pionship game of 2008 that got the
Giants an overtime victory and into
the Super Bowl.
Of course, that is where a Manning
miracle showed up.
It was his most memorable play, a
34-yard pass former Giants wide re-
ceiver David Tyree after Manning
avoided a sack to set up a Super Bowl
victory over the unbeatable Patriots.
But the real wonder now is why
Manning doesnt get more credit.
He will take the Giants into Green
Bay again for an NFC Divisional Play-
off game Sunday, when Manning will
get lost before the game begins.
They will start off the story lines for
that game with Green Bays red-hot
quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who led
the Packers to a 15-1 record.
From there, they will talk about the
defensive line of the Giants and New
Yorks resurgent running game.
Nobody seems to see Eli Manning
as a difference maker.
But hes 5-1 in his last six previous
postseason games, and just became
the Giants all-time leader with a post-
season completion percentage of 60.44
percent and 11 touchdown passes.
Yet Giants fans still debate whether
or not Eli Manning truly is great.
Even after he nearly threw for 5,000
yards this season, then flustered the
Falcons with a 14-yard scramble for a
first down Sunday.
I dont think anyone is game plan-
ning for me to run the ball, Manning
said with a laugh.
Sometimes, it seems like they dont
plan on Manning beating teams at all.
At least, until Giants receivers start
dancing in the end zone after their
underappreciated quarterback gets
them the ball.

said of getting another
crack at the Aggies. I
dont like to focus in on
a single game, but, you
know. In practice I
didnt even have to say anything. Then
after practice I told them, I dont even
have to talk about it.

Bill OBriens staff is nearly complete.
South Carolina assistant John Butler
is set to join Penn States new head
coach in State College, according to
multiple published reports out of the
Palmetto State.
Butler is the eighth reported member
of the Nittany Lions assistant coaching
staff, one short of the NCAA limit of
nine.
Penn State is expected to announce
the entire staff at once, likely some time
this week and perhaps as soon as today.
CoachOBrienhas identifiedmost of
his coaching staff and the university is
proceeding with employment proto-
col, the program said in a statement
Wednesdayevening. PennState will of-
ficially announce Coach OBriens staff
once all university employment proce-
dures have been completed.
The latest name, Butler, has spent
much of his career as a special teams co-
ordinator. The 38-year-old Philadelphia
native most recently coached special
teams and spurs -- a hybrid lineback-
er/safety position -- for the Gamecocks.
Butler is notable in that he would be

GREEN BAY, Wis. Mike
McCarthy called it a punch in
the heart.
Then the typically stoic
Green Bay Packers coach brief-
ly lost his com-
posure, paus-
ing for several
seconds as he
choked up
with emotion.
It was anoth-
er sign of how
hard the team
has been hit by
the death of Michael Philbin,
the son of Packers offensive co-
ordinator Joe Philbin.
With Sundays playoff game
against the New York Giants to
prepare for and a Super Bowl
repeat to strive for real life
has knocked the Packers back.
I think the reality of this just
gave everybody a punch in the
heart to let you know the real-
ity, McCarthy said, pausing
and looking downward as he
gathered his emotions. How
fortunate to be where we are.
Philbin wasnt with the team
Wednesday and will be away in-
definitely as he and his family
deal with the loss of Michael,
whose body was recovered
from an icy Wisconsin river on
Monday.
McCarthy said he and the
rest of his offensive assistant
coaches are dividing up Phil-
bins responsibilities, and will
continue to do so as long as
they need to.
Joe Philbin is where hes sup-
posed to be, McCarthy said.
Frankly, Joe and I havent even
talked about his responsibility
and will not. Hes

PLYMOUTH With an important dual
looming against Pittston Area, Wyoming
Valley West showed its championship in
the Wyoming Valley Conference Tourna-
ment last weekend was not a fluke.
The Spartans won nine of the 12 con-
tested bouts Wednesday night to take
care of a much-improved Hazleton Area
team 48-30 in a WVC Division I meet
against the Cougars, whoplacedfourthat
the tournament last weekend.
Valley West (1-1, DivisionI) nowawaits
a Saturday match with the Patriots, who
are the defending division champions
andhavent lost a divisional dual innearly
two years. But Pittston Areas meet with
Coughlin on Wednesday was postponed
due to a health issue and
the status for Saturdays
dual has yet to be deter-
mined.
All nine of the Spar-
tans wins gave the team
bonus points, some-
thing coach Steve Bar-
ber hopes will help the team in tougher
duals, like when they face Pittston Area.
You got to go out there first and just
get your win. Then as you get going out
there and you feel you can control the
match you can start going for the bonus
points, the coach said.
Obviously, when you get into those
tight matches the bonus points are going
to make a big difference on the score-
board, so you have to look for themwhen
you can. But you dont want to put your-
self in a bad situation and put yourself in
trouble looking for something you
shouldnt be looking for.
The Spartans got off to a quick start
against the Cougars, jumping out to a
20-0 lead. Freshman 145-pounder Cody
Cordes and 152-pound senior Nick Pal-
kovic set the tone with back-to-back ma-
jor decisions to put WVW up 8-0. Brian
Dwyer and Trey Cowman picked up con-
secutive pins at 160 and170, respectively
to give the Spartans a nice cushion.
That was good, thats what we needed
to set the tone for the bigger guys head-
ing into the lower weights, Barber said
about Cordes and Palkovic starting the

AdamTaliaferro, theformer PennStatefootball player whoovercamespinal
cord injuries that were expected to paralyze him, is running for a seat on the
universitys board of trustees.
"Penn State has been a blessing in my life and has helped
to make me the person I am today," Taliaferro said in an e-
mail. "I feel like there is no better time than nowto give back
to the school that has given me so much."
Taliaferro suffered the injury as a freshman football player
in a game against Ohio State in 2000. He was given only a
small chance of being able to walk, but regained the ability to
walk. He went on to become an assistant to the team and
graduate in 2005.
Currently a lawyer in New Jersey, Taliaferro also sits on the Gloucester
County board of freeholders.

S P O R T S
WILKES-BARRE Lake-
Lehman won seven consec-
utive matches in a Wyoming
Valley Conference Division II
contest at Meyers on Wednes-
day night to earn a 44-27 win.
With the victory, Lake-Lehman
stays undefeated on the season
and remains in good position
to contend for the division
title.
Theyve been working aw-
fully hard and Im glad to see it
pay off for them, Lake-Leh-
man head coach Tom Williams
said. Were one step closer
after this win.
Lake-Lehman, now 2-0 in its
division and 9-0 overall, is tied
with Dallas (2-0). With the
loss, Meyers drops to 1-2 in the
division and 5-5 overall.
Despite the difference in
records coming into the meet,
Meyers, the defending Division
II and District 2 Class 2A duals
champions, took a 15-6 lead
after the first four matches. Jeff
Nealon opened up the bout at
138 with a win by decision, and
Darren Stucker and Johntea
Nelson both scored wins by pin
at 145 and 160, respectively.
From there, however, it was
entirely Lake-Lehmans meet.
Nick Shelley got the Black
Knights started with an 8-0
major decision of Dijon
Townes to pull Lehman within
five points. From there, fresh-
man Derek Dragons 19-6 major
decision over Adrian Brito
came between pins at 182 from
Brady Butler who muscled
Miles Davis onto his back with
56 seconds left in the first
period and Curtis Barbacci,
who was just too strong at 220
for Bryan Velez.
By the time the referee
raised Barbaccis hand, Lehman
had pushed the lead to 26-15.
That really seemed to get
us going, said Williams of his
teams run in the upperweight
classes. I think were pretty
strong from top to bottom and
we were able to rely on some
depth (in the upper-weights).
Lake-Lehmans string of wins
continued with a Meyers forfeit
at the heavyweight class, a
decision win from John Tomas-
ura at 106 and a victory by fall
from Jimmy Stuart. As such,
the outcome of the meet took a
back seat to whether or not
there would be a showdown
between Meyers three-time
District 2 Class 2A champion
and state qualifier Vito Pasone
and Lake-Lehmans regional
runner-up and state qualifier
Austin Harry.
The potential matchup of
the night was not to be, howev-
er, as Pasone needed just 1:10
to pin Zeb MacMillan and
Harry rode out a 5-2 decision
over Sharif Alston to close out
the meet.

meet off on the right track.
Hazleton Area, which only
had one divisional victory last
season, moved to within 20-18
after the midway point of the
dual with a pair of falls by Tom
Biesadesky (182) and Taylor
Schermerhorn (220) sand-
wiched around a forfeit win by
Chad Hoffman.
But Valley West took control
winning five of the last seven
bouts, with three pins, a major
decision and a forfeit to secure
the victory.
James Wright (106), Travis
Roper (120) and Kyle Krasavage
(126) had the falls for WVW,
while Nathan Cheek earned the
major at 132.
Larry Romanchik (113), who
won a gold medal at the WVC
Tournament last weekend,
picked up a fall for the Cougars,
while teammate Kody Masters
won by pin at 138 in the last dual
of the evening.

and is hoping to be where Dela-
ware Valley was last year. The
Aggies captured their first Free-
domConferencetitleinprogram
history last February, outlasting
Wilkes in the semifinals along
the way.
But that Aggies squad had
dangerous scoring guard James
Jones, who made life miserable
for the Colonels during his ca-
reer especially last season.
Rickrode said that Jones had
called him before this season on
anunrelatedmatter, andthe Col-
onels boss joked, What, are you
calling to haunt me or some-
thing?
Not any more. Without Jones
anda handful of other graduated
players, Delaware Valley is just
2-10 and 0-3 in league play after
Wednesdays loss.
It wasnt close.
Wilkes openedupanearly12-4
leadandnever trailed. The Colo-
nels held a 37-24 edge by half-
time andproceededtoshoot bet-
ter than 65 percent from the
floor in the second half to make
sure there would not be another
high-blood-pressure finish.
We wanted to push it, mainly
because we wanted to wear
them out a little bit because of
our depth, Rickrode said. We
wanted an up-tempo game.
Four Colonels finished in dou-
ble figures, ledbysenior bigman
Kendall Hinze, who finished
with team-highs in points (18)
and rebounds (eight).
Jourdon Wilson followed with
16 points, followed by 15 from
Paul Huch and 10 from Jeremy
Hartman.
I think were playing more as
a group, Rickrode said. Alot of
guys. And its a different kind of
team that way.

After the Lady Colonels tied
the game coming out of the lock-

on the next possession and took
control from there, earning an

Waiters looked sharp in the
second half after an awkward
landing moments before half-

0.3 seconds remaining. He
missed the first of his three free

second, he had to intentionally
miss the third. Northwestern
(11-5, 1-3 Big Ten) was unable to

fifth straight loss, the longest
losing streak in coach Jamie
Dixons nine years on the bench.
Rutgers, coming off a 67-60

Dez Wells dunked his way to 16

wins for the first time since a
brawl against Cincinnati on
Dec. 10 resulted in suspensions
and left a formerly No. 8 team
struggling. The Musketeers
regained their defensive tough-
ness at the Cintas Center, where
theyve won a league-record 41
straight A-10 games.
Xavier pulled ahead 44-16 by
halftime, the Musketeers stin-

WASHINGTON With Pen-
guins captain Sidney Crosby
watching from the press box,
Washingtons Jason Chimera
scored off a turnover in the first
period and Tomas Vokoun made
30 saves, giving the Capitals a1-0
victory on Wednesday night,
Pittsburghs sixth consecutive
loss.
Vokoun handed Pittsburgh its
first shutout this season. The
Penguins have scored only six
goals in the skid.
Chimera gave Washington the
only offense it needed at 15:25,
finishing a 3-on-1 rush right in
front of goalie Marc-Andre Fleu-
rys net. Capitals defenseman
Joel Ward stole the puck in his
own end and sent it to Jeff Hal-
pern along the right boards. Hal-
pern centered to Chimera, who
easily scored his 14th goal, sec-
ond on the Capitals to Alex
Ovechkin.
TheCapitals havewonsevenof
eight at home.
There wasnt a whole lot of ex-
citement, other than the lone
goal and a fight less than 2
1
2 min-
utes in between Washingtons
Matt Hendricks and Pittsburghs
Craig Adams. The Capitals man-
agedonly one shot inthe opening
11minutes, andthere were a total
of two power plays all evening.
The drabness was sort of fit-
ting. This game was hardly the
glamorous, all-eyes-on-this-one
event that Penguins vs. Capitals
and, more to the point, Sid the
Kid vs. Alex the Great had
been for quite some time.
No longer are these teams
and those star players con-
tending for supremacy in the
Eastern Conference and the en-
tire NHL. Halfway through the
season, the Penguins entered
Wednesday eighth in the15-team
East, two spots ahead of the Cap-
itals.
Pittsburgh is on its longest los-
ing skid since a 10-game drought

from a hit in the Winter Classic

The Penguins also are without
injured defenseman Kris Letang

NEW YORK Carmelo
Anthony had 27 points and the
nine rebounds, and the New
York Knicks snapped the Phila-
delphia 76ers six-game winning
streak with an 85-79 victory on
Wednesday night.
Amare Stoudemire added 20
points and 10 rebounds, and
rookie Josh Harrellson contrib-
uted 13 desperately needed
points from the bench as the
Knicks won their fourth in a row
and improved to two games over
.500 for the first time this sea-
son.
Andre Iguodala and Evan
Turner each scored 16 points for
the 76ers, who were playing
from behind nearly the entire
way while trying to become the
second team this season to win
three games in three nights.
They had been outscoring oppo-
nents by 16 points per game
during their 7-2 start, but they
trailed by as many as 17 in this
one.
Still, the Knicks could never
put it away until Anthonys free
throws with 16 seconds left.
They have now beaten the 76ers
six of the last eight times after
losing the previous six. New
York visits Memphis on Thurs-
day night.
Jrue Holiday scored 13 points
and Thaddeus Young had 12 for
the Sixers, who played without
starting center Spencer Hawes,
who strained his lower back
Tuesday night and shot just 39.5
percent from the field
Kings 98, Raptors 91
TORONTO Tyreke Evans
scored a season-high 29 points,
DeMarcus Cousins had 21
points and a career-high 19 re-
bounds and the Sacramento
Kings snapped a seven-game
losing streak in Toronto by
beating the Raptors.
Isaiah Thomas scored 12 of
his 20 points in the fourth quar-
ter and Jimmer Fredette had 10
for the Kings, who had not win
in Toronto since Feb. 22, 2004.
Sacramento had lost two
straight and four of five coming
in, but held on to record their
first road victory in five tries this
season.
Leandro Barbosa came off the
bench to score a season-high 24
points while DeMar DeRozan
and Jose Calderon each had 13
for the Raptors, who have lost
four of five.
Pacers 96, Hawks 84
INDIANAPOLIS Danny
Granger scored 24 points to
break out of a shooting slump in
the Indiana Pacers victory over
the Atlanta Hawks.
Roy Hibbert added 12 points
and 11 rebounds, and David
West and Lance Stephenson also
had 12 points each to help the
Pacers improve to 7-3. Indiana
won for just the second time in
its last 11 games against the
Hawks.
Josh Smith led Atlanta with
16 points, Joe Johnson had 15,
Zaza Pachulia 11 and Willie
Green 10. The Hawks dropped
to 7-4.
Granger was 9 of 16 from the
field, including 3-of-5 shooting
from 3-point range.
Granger and Hibbert scored
all the points as the Pacers, up
53-50 at the half, put together a
16-2 run in the third quarter for
a 71-54 cushion with 5:07 to go
in the period.
Bulls 78, Wizards 64
CHICAGO John Lucas III
scored a career-high 25 points
filling in for injured Derrick
Rose and the Chicago Bulls beat
the Washington Wizards for
their third victory in three
nights.
Lucas, starting for the first
time in his 70-game NBA career,
was at the point in place of MVP
Rose, who was out with a
sprained big left toe. Lucas
played 45 minutes, had eight
assists, eight rebounds and hit
11 of 28 shots.
Kyle Korver added 14 points,
seven in the final quarter, and
Luol Deng had 12 points and 15
rebounds.
Jordan Crawford paced Wash-
ington, 1-9 and coming off its
first win a night earlier against
Toronto, with 14 points.
Mavericks 90, Celtics 85
BOSTON Dirk Nowitzki
scored 16 points, driving past
Kevin Garnett for the go-ahead
layup with 5.1 seconds left and
leading the Dallas Mavericks to
a victory over the Boston Cel-
tics.
Dallas led most of the game,
but Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer
just his second basket of the
night to tie it at 85 with 25
seconds to play. Former Celtic
Delonte West dribbled the clock
down to about 10 seconds before
giving it to Nowitzki. The NBA
Finals MVP cut to the basket
past Garnett and picked up a
foul from Brandon Bass while
floating the ball into the basket.
Rajon Rondo scored 24 points
for Boston and Garnett had 16
points with 10 rebounds. The
Celtics have lost two straight
since winning four in a row.
Thunder 95, Hornets 85
NEW ORLEANS Kevin
Durant had 29 points and 10
rebounds and the Oklahoma
City Thunder beat the New
Orleans Hornets.
Durant hit 11 of his last 14
shots after missing his first
three. He took over in the third
quarter, scoring 11 points in the
first eight minutes as the Thun-
der extended a two-point half-
time lead to 12 points. The
Hornets pulled within four early
in the fourth, but never threat-
ened after that.
Russell Westbrook had 22
points and seven assists, and
James Harden added 14 points
for Oklahoma City, which won
its fifth in a row.
Chris Kaman and Carl Landry
had 17 points for New Orleans,
which lost for the seventh time
in eight games. The Hornets
outscored the Thunder 42-32 in
the paint but connected on only
1 of 16 3-pointers, missing their
last 12.

F O O T B A L L
WACO, Texas Heisman
Trophy winner Robert Griffin III
is headed to the NFL.
Griffin made it official
Wednesday, announcing that he
would skip his senior season to
enter the NFL draft after a re-
cord-breaking college career.
The announcement comes a
month and a day after the dual-
threat quarterback became the
first Baylor player to win college
footballs highest individual hon-
or.
It was a tough decision, I love
the people at this university, love
my coach for
giving me a
chance to be a
quarterback,
Griffin said.
Stanfords
Andrew Luck,
the Heisman
runner-up, and
Griffin are likely to be the first
two quarterbacks selected next
April.
Griffin arrived at Baylor along
with coach Art Briles before the
2008 season. Briles was at Grif-
fins side Wednesday, both still
basking in a season that ended
with the Bears ranked No. 13 --
the first time since1986that they
were in the final poll of the year.
I talkedtocoach, neither of us
broke down, surprisingly, said
Griffin, though Briles broke in to
add: Not on the outside.
Small wonder. Losing a talent
like Griffin would be a blow for
any coach.
Griffin set or tied 54 school re-
cords while playing 41 games at
Baylor over the past four sea-
sons. The fourth-year junior has
another season of eligibility re-
mainingat Baylor because he got
a medical redshirt after he tore
the ACL in his right knee in the
third game of the 2009 season.
The Bears tied a school record
with 10 wins this season, includ-
ing a six-game winning streak to
end the year. They finished with
a record-setting 67-56 victory
over Washington in the Alamo
Bowl, their first bowl victory
since 1992.
Griffin is Baylors career pass-
ing leader. He completed 800 of
1,192 passes (67 percent) for
10,366 yards with 78 touch-
downs and 17 interceptions. His
2,254 yards and 33 TDs rushing
are records for a Bears quarter-
back.
He completed 291 of 402 pas-
ses (72 percent) for 4,293 yards
and 37 TDs with only six inter-
ceptions this season, when he al-
so ran for 699 yards and 10 more
touchdowns. He was the nations
second-most efficient passer
with a 189.48 rating, just behind
Wisconsins Russell Wilson,
whose 191.78 rating came with
93 fewer pass attempts.
Griffin arrived at Waco as a17-
year-old freshman in January
2008 after graduating from high
school a semester early. He com-
pleted an undergraduate degree
in political science in December
2010 and has been working on
masters degree in communica-
tions.

COLTS
Colts hire Eagles
executive as GM
INDIANAPOLIS The Indi-
anapolis Colts have hired Eagles
executive Ryan Grigson as their
new general
manager.
The team
announced the
hiring Wednes-
day. The 40-
year-old Grig-
son has spent
the past nine
years with
Philadelphia, where he was
named director of player person-
nel in 2010 after four years as
college scouting director.
Colts owner Jim Irsay last
week fired vice chairman Bill
Polian and his son, Chris, the
Colts GM, after a 2-14 season. A
former player for the Detroit
Lions, Grigson retired because
of a back injury after spending
the 1997 season in the Canadian
Football league. He is an Indi-
ana native who played college
ball at Purdue.
RAIDERS
McKenzie brings
Packers experience
ALAMEDA, Calif. Reggie
McKenzie began his playing
career as a linebacker with the
Los Angeles Raiders in the
1980s.
He returns to the franchise as
general manager after having
been schooled for nearly two
decades in the ways of the
Green Bay Packers. Its that
model that he will try to repli-
cate in Oakland as he aims to
restore the Raiders to a level
they havent reached during a
nine-year playoff drought.
McKenzie signed his contract
with the Raiders on Tuesday
and immediately fired coach
Hue Jackson. His next task will
be to bring in a new coach that
he hopes he can work with in a
fashion similar to the relation-
ships between Ron Wolf and
Mike Holmgren and Ted
Thompson and Mike McCarthy
that led to Super Bowl titles in
Green Bay.
JETS
Sparano hired as OC
NEW YORK The New York
Jets have hired Tony Sparano as
their offensive coordinator to
replace Brian Schottenheimer.
The former Miami Dolphins
coach takes over an offense that
struggled mightily this season.
The team announced the
hiring of Sparano on Wednes-
day, just over 12 hours after
announcing that Schottenheim-
er told the Jets he wouldnt
return next season despite hav-
ing two years left on his con-
tract.
Schottenheimer spent six
seasons as the Jets offensive
coordinator.
The 50-year-old Sparano will
be charged with improving an
offense that finished 25th over-
all and further developing quar-
terback Mark Sanchez, who has
been heavily criticized for not
progressing as expected in his
third season.
It is the first offensive coor-
dinator job for Sparano, who
was fired by the Dolphins last
month after going 29-32 in
three-plus seasons.

Fletcher wins Bart
Starr Award
ASHBURN, Va. Washing-
ton Redskins linebacker London
Fletcher is the recipient of the
Bart Starr Award, which honors
an NFL player for outstanding
character and leadership in the
home, on the field and in the
community.
Fletcher will get the award in
Indianapolis on Feb. 4, the day
before the Super Bowl is played
in that city.
The Bart Starr Award is voted
on by the leagues players. Other
finalists were Philadelphia Ea-
gles cornerback Nnamdi Aso-
mugha and Dallas Cowboys
tight end Jason Witten.
Fletcher started the Londons
Bridge Foundation in 2003 to
help underprivileged children in
his hometown of Cleveland and
other cities, including Washing-
ton. He is also involved in other
charitable projects.

NEW YORK Just how
many television viewers tuned
into Sundays Steelers-Broncos
game solely because of Tim Te-
bow?
Consider the wild-card play-
off matchup in the same time
slot last year for a rough esti-
mate.
In 2011, Packers-Eagles at-
tracted what at the time
seemed like a massive audi-
ence. It averaged 39.3 million
viewers and earned the highest
rating for a wild-card game in a
dozen years, an especially im-
pressive feat considering most
shows on TV draw far fewer
people than they did a decade
ago.
The game seemed to have all
the elements to pull in lots of
eyeballs. A nationally popular
team in Green Bay. A large mar-
ket in Philadelphia. A lightning-
rod quarterback of its own in
Michael Vick. A close score.
Awild-card matchup couldnt
bring in many more viewers
than that in this era, right? Well,
Denvers overtime win Sunday
averaged 42.4 million viewers,
an 8 percent increase. It was the
highest-rated wild-card game in
18 years.
Next, Tebowand the Broncos
face the New England Patriots,
a highly popular team in their
own right. The clubs regular-
season meeting last month
drew a huge audience.
CBS Sports Chairman Sean
McManus figures some people
who dont normally care about
football turned on his network
Sunday hoping to catch 60
Minutes. Instead, they saw a
close NFL playoff game fea-
turing that Tebow guy everybo-
dy is talking about. No way they
changed the channel, he said.
Not many stories travel so
quickly fromthe sports pages to
the front pages, McManus said
Wednesday.
Tebow reminds him a bit of a
pre-scandal Tiger Woods, who
inspired non-golf fans to tune in
just with his aura.
Speaking of Tiger, Tebow ac-
complished a feat in popularity
even Woods couldnt match.
The monthly ESPN Sports Poll
found that the Broncos quarter-
back was Americas favorite ac-
tive pro athlete for December.
In the polls 18 years, only 11
different athletes have earned
that distinction. Nobody as-
cended to the top as quickly as
Tebow, in his second pro sea-
son; Woods needed three years.
The poll was compiled from
1,502 interviews from a nation-
ally representative sample of
Americans 12 and older. Tebow
was picked by 3 percent, ahead
of Kobe Bryant (2 percent), Aa-
ron Rodgers (1.9 percent), Pey-
ton Manning (1.8 percent) and
Tom Brady (1.5 percent).
Masses tune in to see Tebows latest miracle

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
The New York Giants secondary
has a message for Aaron Rodgers
and the Green Bay Packers this
time around:
Its not goingtobeas easyas last
time.
The com-
munication
problems and
blown assign-
ments that al-
lowed Rodg-
ers to hit a
wide-open
Donald Driv-
er in the first
half and lead a last-minute, game-
winning field goal drive in a 38-35
victory in early December have
beenfixed, andeverybody is seem-
ingly healthy.
Aaron Ross, who had to leave
Sundays 24-2 win over Atlanta in
the NFC wild-card game with a
head injury, practiced on a limited
basis Wednesday and said he
wouldplaySundayinGreenBayin
the NFCdivisional round.
Whats more is there is a sense a
confidence and a belief that the
Packers canbe beaten.
To me, its another game, safe-
tyAntrel Rollesaid. I dontputany
opponent ona pedestal.
The Giants (10-7) have evolved
over thepast monthfromanincon-
sistent defense that gave up big
playsbothonthegroundandinthe
air to one that suddenly has found
itself. The last three opponents
the Jets, Cowboys and Falcons
have combined for 30 points, with
the Giants offense contributing
two to that total with a safety last
week.
Abig part of the transformation
has been getting the defensive line
back. Osi Umenyiora has returned
from an ankle injury. Justin Tuck
has overcome neck, groin, ankle
andtoes woes. Combinethosetwo
with Jason Pierre-Paul and the
front line is harassing opposing
quarterbacks.
Whats also different is the play
of the back seven, particularly the
secondary. The talent has been
therewithRoss, Rolle, cornerbacks
Corey Webster and Prince Amu-
kamara, and safeties Kenny Phil-
lips andDeonGrant.
However, getting them and the
linebackers on the same page in
pass coverage has been a yearlong
effort that finally has everyone
reading the same lines.
GrantsaidtheGiantswerentdo-
ing that the day they played the
Packers for a number of reasons.
Umenyiora didnt play that
game. Tuckwaslimitedbyinjuries.
Linebacker Michael Boleywas just
coming back from a hamstring in-
jury and was only 70 percent. Phil-
lips spraineda knee inthe first half
and Amukamara, who was still
workinghiswaybackintoshapeaf-
ter breaking his foot in training
camp, ran out of gas, and was re-
placedinthesecondhalf byrecent-
ly signedWill Blackmon.
Rodgers threwfour touchdowns
inthatgame, hitting28of 46passes
for 369 yards. He also ran four
times for 32 yards to keep a couple
of drives alive.

Playing with confidence, the

SANTACLARA, Calif. Attheendof last
season, Doug Smith never imagined his son
would play for the San Francisco 49ers
again, not after hearing the quarterback get
booedout of CandlestickParkandyet anoth-
er coaching change on the way.
Alex Smith sat down with his father to
seek advice ahead of free agency. The 2005
No. 1 overall pick was intrigued by new
coach Jim Harbaugh, an offensive guru at
StanfordandaformerNFLquarterbackwho
embraced Smith instantly.
Still, the quarterback had his apprehen-
sions about staying in San Francisco.
Itseasiertosay, Well, thegrasshasgotto
be greener somewhere else, Doug Smith
saidbyphone this weekfromhis home inLa
Mesa, Calif. AsI remindedAlex, if hedhave
turned the clock back two years to the post-
Mike Nolan era, If theyd have hired Har-
baugh instead of (Mike) Singletary, youd
have been doing backflips at that point,
Alex. You wouldnt have had any qualms.
You would have been anxious. You would
have been eager.
So I said, OK, you had some bad years
therethat went nowhere. But hereit is. What
do you do? You could try it somewhere else.
Heres a guy thats finally offensively orient-
ed.
Everystepsincehasbeenmoresurprising
than the next.
Smithhas startedtoshedhis draft-bust la-
bel andturnedaroundhis career under Har-
baugh, leading the 49ers (13-3) to the play-
offs for the first time in nine years. Theyll
host the New Orleans Saints (13-3) in the
NFC divisional round Saturday at Candles-
tick, aplacefanssmotheredSmithwithboos
so often in the past.
Therearesomanyquarterbacks but they
dont have that it factor. Imstarting to see a
lot moreof that inhimright nowandit prob-
ably has a lot to do with Jim Harbaugh be-
cause he played that position, said former
49ers receiver and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
Smithhas beenby far the most surprising
player for the NFCWest champions.
The former Utah quarterback threwfor a
career-best 3,144 yards and 17 touchdowns
with only five interceptions, anchoring Har-
baughs version of the West Coast offense
with record-tying efficiency. San Francisco
finished with 10 total turnovers, equaling
the 2010 New England Patriots for the few-
est in NFLhistory.
Smith, who has played under a different
coordinator eachseasonandonly one previ-
ous offensive-mindedcoachinNorv Turner,
has even started to sound like Harbaugh
refusing to relish any vindication and de-
flecting attention back to the team.
I had a great season up to this point, but
likeI said, just got usaticket tothedancelike
everybody else, Smith said.

NEW YORK Jim Rome,
with his 2 million radio listen-
ers, is bringing a well-establish-
ed attraction to CBSs networks.
The sports talkshowhost will
have a half-hour weekday show
on cable channel CBS Sports
Network called Rome starting
in April, CBS said Wednesday.
Thousands of people do in-
terviews on television every
day, but Jimis aninstantaneous-
ly recognizable and unique per-
sonality, CBS Sports Chairman
Sean McManus said. There
arent that many unique person-
alities like that in our business.
Rome will also host a sports
and entertainment series on
Showtime beginning late this
year and contribute to CBSs
coverage of the NFL, NCAAbas-
ketball and U.S. Open tennis.
Rome called Showtime a cre-
ative, dynamic network allow-
ing me to host and create some-
thing completely original and
fresh. The CBS appearances
will be a realizationof a lifelong
dream.
McManus anticipated Romes
role with CBSs major event cov-
erage to include in-depth inter-
views withhigh-profile subjects.
An example off the top of his
head: Someday a network will
do the definitive Brett Favre
post-retirement sit-down, and
thats exactly the sort of assign-
ment Rome will draw.
Romes addition brings edgy
opinions on all sports to a chan-
nel that less than a year ago was
knownas CBSCollege Sports. It
was renamed in April with the
goal of adding other program-
ming to its college offerings.
Formerly known as CSTV, the
network was acquiredby CBSin
2006 and is in close to 40 per-
cent of American homes with
televisions.
Romes combative style may
be best known for a confronta-
tion 18 years ago with former
NFL quarterback Jim Everett.
After Rome repeatedly called
him Chris in reference to
womens tennis star Chris Evert
on a live ESPN2 broadcast in
1994, Everett flipped over a ta-
ble andknockedRome out of his
seat.
After hosting The Last Word
with Jim Rome on Fox Sports
Net, Rome returned to ESPN in
2003 with Rome is Burning.
Rome will continue to host his
nationally syndicated radio
show.
Rome, which will air at 6
p.m., will premiere April 3 after
he takes part inCBSs Final Four
coverage.
S P O R T S R A D I O
Unique Rome taking
his game to CBS net
the first newcomer to the staff
who has not previously worked
with OBrien at another school.
Butler did however spend one
year with new Lions assistant
Ted Roof at Minnesota.
Roof, whomOBriencalledone
of his closest friends, is expected
to be named defensive coordina-
tor. Roof spent the 2008 season
with the Golden Gophers, where
Butler was the special teams and
linebackers coach for four sea-
sons (2007-10).
If Butler were to be put in
charge of special teams at Penn
State, it would be the first time
the Lions would have one man
heading the job since 1999. For
the past 12 seasons, Penn State
has split up special teams duties,
witha different assistant working
with kickers, punters, return
units and coverage units.
Given staff-size limits, howev-
er, it is extremely rare for a col-
lege coach to be dedicated solely
to special teams. Penn State ap-
pears to have an opening for a de-
fensive backs coach, the position
Butler first manned when he be-
ganhis coachingcareer at Cathol-
ic University, his alma mater.
Butler was secondary coach at
Division III Catholic in 1995 be-
fore being promoted to defensive
coordinator the following year.
After two seasons as a graduate
assistant at Texas, Butler was a
full-time staffer at Division II
Midwestern State (1999-2000)
and FCS programs Texas State
(2001-02) and Harvard (2003-06)
before heading to Minnesota and
the Big Ten.
He briefly joined the Houston
Texans as a defensive assistant in
early 2011 before accepting a job
on Steve Spurriers staff at South
Carolina.
Butler would join holdovers
Larry Johnson and Ron Vander-
linden as well as new faces Stan
Hixon, Charles London, Mac
McWhorter, Roof and John Strol-
lo on OBriens staff.
I believethat inasituationlike
this, that the more you can sur-
round yourself with strong peo-
ple that have either been head
coaches or been in prominent po-
sitions in organizations or foot-
ball programs, I think that you
cant go wrong doing it that way,
OBrien said.
Im a fast learner and I have
some really good ideas of howwe
want to do things. But again, I
will have a lot of really good peo-
ple around me to help me, too.
A ninth and final assistant
would likely be on offense, work-
ing directly with OBrien as ei-
ther an offensive coordinator or a
quarterbacks coach.
OBrien -- who still serves in
both of those roles for the New
England Patriots -- has said he
will call plays on offense in the
first year.
Given that, one possibility for
the final slot could be George
Godsey, anoffensiveassistant un-
der OBrien with the Patriots
who also played quarterback for
him at Georgia Tech.
Johnson and Vanderlinden are
almost certainly the only mem-
bers of Joe Paternos former staff
who will be retained. Jay Paterno
and Kermit Buggs have con-
firmed they will not be on the
new staff, and potential Penn
State recruits have said Bill Ken-
ney has told themhe also will not
return.
Interim coach and long-time
defensive coordinator Tom Bra-
dley is not expected to be back
along with fellow veteran assist-
ants Galen Hall and Dick Ander-
son.

with his family and hell return
when he feels hes ready to re-
turn.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin
passed along his condolences.
Our heart goes out to the
Philbin family, Coughlin said.
When we first heard this the
other night, the whole coach-
ing staff, the room went abso-
lutely silent. Many guys know
Joe Philbin. You have tremen-
dous empathy, but you cant
(have) anywhere near the feel-
ing that his familys going
through. Just tragic. The sym-
pathy of the Giants organiza-
tion goes out to the Philbin
family.
Although police didnt publi-
cly confirm Michael Philbins
death until Tuesday morning,
players were told Monday after-
noon.
After a day off Tuesday,
McCarthy talked to the team
Wednesday about separating
their personal challenges from
their professional challenges.
It really goes in line with the
family-first philosophy,
McCarthy said. Everybodys
feeling it. Theres no question
on what level. Thats really for
the individual (players) to
speak on. But professionally,
Ive been very pleased with
what weve been able to accom-
plish. We had a very productive
day Monday with everything
going on on Monday. And today
just a ton of energy.
The Philbin family will hold a
visitation Thursday and the fu-
neral is Friday afternoon. Wide
receiver Greg Jennings hopes
hell be able to attend.
Definitely, Jennings said.
Obviously, hes a part of us,
hes a part of our family and
were a part of their family.
When you work with a guy ev-
ery single day from morning
until late night, its like you be-
come a part of them and they
become a part of you. So we def-
initely want to support (them)
if that will allow us.
Aaron Rodgers also wants to
attend the funeral some-
thing he apparently hasnt done
before.
I dont know the right words
to say to him to try and comfort
him, Rodgers said of Philbin.
I have zero experience and
have never really dealt with
anything like this before. I have
never been to a funeral in my
life, knock on wood. So this is a
tough time.
This week is especially tough
for Packers offensive lineman
T.J. Lang, who already was
dealing with the recent death of
his father.
Today I think was definitely
tough, being the first day back,
but I think it will get better,
Lang said. With everything go-
ing on around the organization,
its been pretty rough. I think
times like these, when guys are
going through some personal
struggles, that guys really rally
up and get behind you. Ive had
a lot of support, and I know ev-
eryones shown a lot of support
for Coach Philbin as well.
But while players are taking
the Philbin situation hard,
theyre also using it as a rallying
cry for Sunday.
I think this will only make us
tougher as a group and even
more family-oriented, Lang
said. Weve always had a great
family feel to this team. I think
when people go through some
things like this, I think it will
only strengthen it. Nothings
ever going to heal it, but if we
accomplish our last goal, I
think that will take a little of
the pain away. Its good to be
back with the guys.
Players know that winning a
game in Philbins honor wont
really do anything to take away
the familys loss but at least
its doing something.
Being in the team meeting,
when everything was relayed to
us, you could just sense that,
OK, weve got to do this for
Joe, Jennings said.
If he cant be with us to expe-
rience it, hes with the people
he should be with, which is his
family. We need to make sure
that he knows that were think-
ing about him and the one way
we can definitely show that is
going out there and performing
and executing the way he
would want us to perform and
execute.

ADM cutting 1,000 jobs
Agribusiness conglomerate Archer
Daniels Midland, which opened a co-
coa processing plant in the Humboldt
Industrial Park, Hazle Township, in
2008 that was expected to employ 200,
announced plans Wednesday to cut
1,000 jobs, or about 3 percent of its
total workforce, with the majority of
the positions being salaried staff.
Most of the people who work at a
plant are going to be hourly work-
force, said David Weintraub, an ADM
spokesman, implying those workers
would not be subject to cutbacks.
The move will reduce the Decatur,
Ill.-based companys corporate staff by
about 15 percent, CEO Patricia Woertz
said in statement.
NYSE merger stymied
European regulators will push to
block the planned $10 billion merger of
the New York Stock Exchange and its
German counterpart, two people close
to the merger said Tuesday.
Antitrust regulators fear that the
combined company, which would be
the largest operator of stock exchanges
in the world, would unfairly dominate
trading of financial tools called deriv-
atives in Europe, one of the people
said.
The two exchanges are believed to
control more than 90 percent of the
trading of some of the most popular
derivatives products in Europe.
Beige Book is rosy
The final weeks of 2011 were among
the economys strongest as Americans
shopped and traveled more, ending the
year with a shot of optimism for 2012.
Thats the bright picture the Federal
Reserve sketched in a survey released
Wednesday. It said all but one of its 12
banking districts experienced some
growth from late November through
the end of the year.
The one district that didnt experi-
ence growth was Richmond, Va.
Hostess files Chapter 1 1
Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of
Twinkies and Wonder Bread, is seeking
bankruptcy protection, blaming its
pension and medical benefits obliga-
tions, increased competition and tough
economic conditions.
The Chapter 11 filing on Wednesday
comes just two years after a prede-
cessor company emerged from bank-
ruptcy proceedings.
That company, Interstate Bakeries,
filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004.
It emerged in February 2009.

Once a
hallmark of
science fic-
tion, 3-D
printing has
started to
come into its
own. Increasingly affordable
and easy to use, the applica-
tions for the technology are
astonishing. At this years
Consumer Electronics Show,
Casio demonstrated a new
spin on 3D printing.
3-D Printing is a relatively
new technology that allows
users to create three dimen-
sional models from computer
software, in a variety of mate-
rials.
3-D printers use different
techniques for producing a
3-D model, including ink jets
that spray plaster or powder
resins in layers until the final
shape is achieved, and faster
methods that use molten
polymer or lasers to etch out
the final design.
Typically, 3-D printing is
used to generate scale models
of objects and rapidly generate
prototypes of components, or
in a more artistic application,
by sculptors that use comput-
er aided design software to
produce their art.
Casio is quite ready to start
selling these things to the
general public, it probably
wont be long before this sort
of thing makes its way into an
electronics store near you.
Typically, a 3-D printer
costs around $2,000, but its
possible to find kits that you
can assemble for a quarter of
the price.
Aside from making photos
look cool, once 3-D printers
enter widespread use, they
could potentially be used by
the general public lets say
you buy a model airplane or a
mug online instead of hav-
ing to wait for it to be ship-
ped, youd be able to just click
Print or if youre more
enterprising, just design and
print it yourself, having to pay
only for the materials.
Some models of 3-D print-
ers are able to produce circuit-
boards, meaning that in the
future, it might be possible to
print complex electronics
from scratch some assembly
required.
Given the relative availabil-
ity of this technology, it has
the ability to transform as-
sembly-line processes into
cottage industries that any-
one can do from home lead-
ing some to label the tech-
nology as disruptive and
likely to have a massive long-
term impact. In short keep
your eye on this one.
3-D printers may have huge long-term impact

Now, Casio is showing off
another option: a technology
that can take a 2-D photo,
extrapolate a 3-D image from
it, and print a 3-dimensional
version that pops. That is to
say, the image sticks out from
the background, giving the
appearance of depth.
While the results are down-
right creepy when taken to an
extreme, this represents a new
take on what has before been
a primarily industrial or artis-
tic technology.
While it doesnt look like
MUMBAI, India Askyscrap-
er buildingboominChina andIn-
dia may signal an impending eco-
nomic correction in two of Asias
largest economies, a report says.
Barclays Capital has mapped
an unhealthy correlation be-
tween construction of the worlds
tallest buildings and financial cri-
ses over the last 140 years.
Today, China is home to half of
the worlds skyscrapers de-
fined as over 787 feet tall cur-
rently under construction.
India is seeing its first sky-
scraper building boom, with 14
under construction, including
the worlds second-tallest tower.
Historically, skyscraper con-
struction has been characterized
by bursts of sporadic, but intense
activity that coincide with easy
credit, rising land prices and ex-
cessive optimism, but often by
the time skyscrapers are finished,
the economy has slipped into re-
cession, Lawrence said.
The Great Depression coinci-
ded with the completion of three
New York skyscrapers: 40 Wall
Street, the Chrysler Building and
the Empire State Building, Bar-
clays noted. The economic and
oil crises of the 1970s coincided
with the completion of the World
Trade Center towers in 1972 and
1973, and Chicagos Sears Tower
in 1974.
The Asian financial crisis hit as
Kuala Lumpurs Petronas Towers
were finished in 1997.
As Dubais $4.1 billion Burj
Khalifa, now the worlds tallest
building, was being built, Dubai
nearly went bust and the world
slid into the Great Recession.

That bottle of Crown Royal will soon
cost you more. Same goes for Captain
Morgans Spiced Rum, Kahlua Coffee li-
queur and about 300 other bottles of
wine and spirits.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board voted 3-0 Wednesday to approve
an increase in prices on hundreds of li-
quor and wine brands of various sizes.
The hikes will take effect ina monthor
two and are as lowas 50 cents for dozens
of bottles to as much as $240 for a 750 ml
bottle of Hennessy Cognac Paradis. Pric-
es will be raised on 313 items in all.
The price hike, said board spokeswo-
man Stacey Witalec, would create about
an additional $3.9 million annually in
profit and $2 million in tax revenue for
the state. And, she noted, the increases
were requested by vendors, not board-
spurred changes.
Vendors are permittedtoaskthe board
toraise prices four times a year, but Wita-
lec, said there have been no raises grant-
ed for 18 months. She cited the poor
economy as a reason the board refrained
from raising prices, even going so far as
setting a moratoriumon vendor price in-
creases in November 2010.
But after a year and a half, vendors, cit-
ing the higher costs to make, market and
ship their products, sought approval for
increases. In December, more than three
dozenvendors requestedprice hikes, Wi-
talec said. Over the course of the last
few years, we have all seen the costs of
goods and services increase exponential-
ly across all industries and the beverage
alcohol industry is not immune to those
increases, Witalec said.
Board Chairman P.J. Stapleton said
had the board not agreed to the increas-
es, some products could have disap-
peared from the shelves.
The reality is that vendors could have
decided not to sell us their products be-
cause without a price increase, they we-
rent able to be profitable in this state,

tunity for up to a
foot of snow has
been nullied by
a stormthat has
come with
enough warm air
to allow for all
rain. The heavi-

move through
this morning,
totaling a half
inch to one inch.
Temperatures
will remain well

through the
night tonight.
More rain mov-

change to snow
Friday morning,

Winds gusting to

While most chefs have a tendency to
hang back in the kitchen, Dave Ciminelli
always makes his rounds on the floor of
AuRants in Duryea, gathering feedback
from customers.
The 33-year-old West Pittston resident
has amemorableface, tobesure, but peo-
ple are equally likely to zero in on his
right arm, which is covered in tattoos.
This colorful appendage
is decorated with fire, stars
and a demonic face, among
other inky adornments.
Ciminellis knuckles also
are tattooed, both with the
words No Regrets and, as
an homage to his passion,
Food Slut.
Ciminelli is responsible
for such memorable Au-
Rants menu items as duck
Gouda cheesesteakandcrab
grilled cheese. He considers
cooking an art, much like
the tattoos on his skin. His
interest in both linked up
years ago.
Ciminelli got his first tat-
too when he was14. He then
worked in a tattoo parlor as
a shop hand, using the time
to sketch his own creations
but never actually tattooing.
At the exact time he left the
shop, in search of a newjob, he began his
foray into the restaurant business 12
years ago.
How did that first restaurant job go?

I started as a dishwasher, but before I
knew it, I was plating things. Wed be short-
staffed, and waitresses would be panicked
because there was no one to plate, so I start-
ed to do it, and everyone just really enjoyed
what I did. I worked with a couple kids who
actually went to culinary school, and I was
platingina way they couldnt. Because of be-
ing involved with doing artwork as well, I
think I just had an eye for it.
You have quite an interesting menu.
How do you come up with this stuff?
Its funny because sometimes its just out
of a need to use a certain food. Say I got a
large case of broccoli that I knowImnot go-
ing to get through. Ill end up just building a
dish around that. Sometimes its also the
need to replicate something, like a Philly
cheesesteak, and to try and do it better.
Whats your favorite thing to cook
with?
It changes all the time, honestly. But I do
have to say Immore onthe carnivore side of
things. We get a lot of different meats here,
like buffalo, yak, antelope, duck. I like work-
ing with those.
Where did you get your ink done?
I hadtheoutlineof my half sleevejust sit-
ting there for a couple of years, but the guy
who colored it in and did the detail was Elijah
from Electric City Tattoo.
Do people often comment on your tat-
toos?
Every now and again Ill get someone
thatll grab my armand say Oh, whatve you
got there? but really I think as time goes on
tattoos are becoming more accepted, and a
normal thing, so people arent as fazed by
them.
Any plans for more tattoos?
Ive got my whole body blueprinted out.
Actually, I have an entire sleeve for my other
arm planned out thats culinary-themed. Its
going to be fun stuff, like an escargot craw-
ling across my hand with a fork stuck in its
head or a lobster being lowered into a pot
with a blindfold on, smoking a cigar. Theyre
things Ive drawn up over time.

drawing on her wrist. Roll up

toonish flying pigs.

Izard, the first and only woman
to win Bravos Top Chef. No,
we just happen to have lot of
themcovered in them.
Once considered the province
of sailors, bikers, ex-cons and, of
course, college hipsters, tattoos
have become standard attire in
professional kitchens, a symbol
of culinary culture as surely as a
tall white toque. Whether the
drawings are egg beaters, lem-

tribal motifs, body art in the
kitchen is now so mainstream

en rats to celebrity chefs proudly

magazine covers, high-end cata-
logs andinthepages of their cook-
books, making culinistas ever
more like rock stars.
It used to be those cockama-
mie chef hats that denoted an ex-
pertisewithaspatula, saysRocky
Rakovic, editor of Inked maga-
zine, dedicated to tattoo culture.
But nowtimeinmanykitchens is
represented by the amount of tat-
toos one has.
Meat-cutting diagrams and
kitchen knives done like daggers
are popular with chefs, tattoo art-
ists say. Cupcakes, hot dogs, pies,
equipment astandmixer show-
ing a reflection in the stainless-
steel bowl receives raves fromtat-
too connoisseurs are standard
when youre talking food tattoos.
Food Network chef Duff Gold-
man, also known as The Ace of
Cakes, has a whisk.
Hugh Acheson, chef-partner of
three acclaimed Georgia restau-
rants, who has four tattoos him-
self, including the names of his
wifeandchildren, aswell asaMay-
an god he got during a trip to the
Yucatanpeninsulawhenhewas16

voriteis theradishontheinsideof
hisleft forearm, whichcommemo-
rates the first plant he grew at his
house more than a decade ago,
andwhichgets the spotlight inhis
newcookbooks food photos.
But lots of chefs make little or
noreferencetotheir profession. In
thosecases, theinkisasindividual
as the chef.
Bryan Voltaggio, the 35-year-
old chef-owner of Volt Restaurant
in Frederick, Md., and a finalist
(with brother Michael) on season
6of TopChef, has sixtattoos, in-
cluding a nautical star to guide
him. The names of his children
andtheir Chinesezodiacsigns cel-
ebrate their births. And his light-
ning bolt a tattoo he shares
with even more heavily tattooed
Michael celebrates their friend-
shipwithchildhoodbuddies(who
also have the same tattoo).
Marc Forgiones eight tattoos
represent turning points: the Na-
vajo art that inspired him to open
his own restaurant; the 1621 on
both biceps documenting his re-
creationof the first Thanksgiving,
themeal that cinchedhis2010win
on the Food Networks The Next
Iron Chef; the tribal infinity sym-
bol his parents gave him on his
18th birthday.
I use them almost like a road-
map of my life, says the 32-year-
old chef-owner of Restaurant
Marc Forgione. They all have
theirownlittlestory. Itsabadgeof
memory.
Chefs with tattoos are nothing
new, Rakovic says. What is newis
their emergence from the bowels
of restaurant life onto television
and into the spotlight. But indus-
trywatchers likeDanaCowin, edi-
tor-in-chief of Food &Wine maga-
zine, saythevolumeof inkhas def-
initely increased during the past
five years or so.
If you look at a chef with beau-
tiful tatsyoumight alsobelooking
at a chef that presents very beauti-
fully plated food, says Cowin,
whose July 2009 cover featured
the elaborately inscribed arms of
chefs Nate Appleman and Vinny
Dotolo and drew fire from a few
readers who thought it was in
poor taste. So the opposite con-
clusioncanbedrawn: not Theyre
heathens, but, They must be ap-
preciators of art.
Which is exactly why chefs like
them. Chefs are artistic people
who get inspired by things, and
that has a lot to do with tattoos,
Forgionesays. Werekindof artis-
tic, rebellious, a little crazy.
Tattoos also fit nicely into the
late-night lifestylechefs lead, with
the blazing lights of tattoo parlors
offering diversion when other
places are closed. And for those
who enjoy adornment, tattoos are
earrings and bracelets. You cant
wear jewelry in the kitchen, but
you can wear tattoos, Izard says.
The current trend also may be
partly generational. Over the
years, kitchen culture in general
has relaxed, chefs say. As thestrict
French model of the brigade be-
came dated, Voltaggio says,
toques came off and sleeves were
rolled up showing off tattoos that
already were there. By the early
2000s, more ink than ever was ex-
posed, inspiring others to get tat-
toos and reinforcing body arts
place in the kitchen culture.
But tattoos arent for everyone.
Imtattooed on the inside, jokes
Spike Mendelsohn, owner of two
Washington eateries known not
for his tattoos hehas nonebut
for the fedora he wore when he
won Season 4 of Top Chef. I
wanted to stand out, so I became
that fedora-wearing chef, he
says. But it comes time toevolve,
and thats the great thing about
having signatures that arent per-
manent.
Cowin sees things swinging
backinMendelsohns direction. I
think were going to see it ebb,
she says. Theres beenanincreas-
ing amount of ink over time, and
chefs, who always want to be at
the vanguard, will feel like, Oh
thats somethingeverybody does.
And they dont want to be one of
everybody.

Chef Stephanie Izard is owner of Chicagos acclaimed Girl and the
Goat restaurant. People come into our restaurant and say, Do
you only hire line chefs with tattoos? says Izard, the first and
only woman to win Bravos Top Chef. No, we just happen to have
lot of them covered in them.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
a very feminine
23-year-old woman
who lives at home
with my father. I am
completely uninter-
ested in getting mar-
ried or having chil-
dren. My dad and my grandmother
act as though Im abnormal. Dad says
he blames himself for failing to raise
me right.
He also blames himself for the fact
that Im not interested in guys. The
thought of being intimate with a
guy is disgusting to me. I identify as
mostly asexual, although I have had
passing infatuations with women.
Dad takes this personally like HE is
responsible for my desires. Grandma
is worse. She constantly makes ex-
cuses to my male friends about how
Im just not ready yet and that they
should be patient.
Abby, I know nothing I say will
change their minds, but is there
something I can do to make them un-
derstand they didnt fail? This is who
I AM. How can I end the guilt trip
and keep the peace?
Born This Way in North Carolina
Dear Born This Way: People who
have no sexual feelings are asexual.
People who are attracted to members
of the same sex are gay, and they, too,
are born that way.
You cannot live your life trying to
please your father and grandmother,
and you have nothing to apologize
for. If you need help explaining
why you are the way you are, con-
tact PFLAG (Parents, Families and
Friends of Lesbians and Gays), an
organization that can provide you
with literature that will explain it to
them. You can find more information
at www.pflag.org.
Dear Abby: Im a 37-year-old wife
and mother of three. My mother
visits us when shes in town during
work-related trips. When shes here
she constantly corrects my children
(ages 8, 14 and 18) and instructs
my husband and me how we should
spend our money. She also doesnt
like it when I swear or mention what
I think of people she has sent my way
who have burned me.
By the time she leaves usually
four days I am so stressed and
emotional that I cry at the drop of
a hat. I cannot, nor do I want to,
continue to have her here when she
doesnt respect my rules. I respect her
rules when I visit her home.
Obviously, there is much more, but
Im stressed to the max and nearly
at the point of being done. Abby, can
you give me any pointers to deal with
this?
Visit Or Not?
Dear Visit Or Not?: After you
have calmed down, and before your
mothers next raid, write her a let-
ter. Explain that while you love her,
her visits are taking a significant
emotional toll on you. Say she is wel-
come as long as she refrains from cor-
recting your children because thats
YOUR job. Say also that she must
stop telling you what to do with your
money and correcting your language
because youre an adult now. Remind
her not to send any more people your
way, and why. If she can accept those
terms, shell be welcomed with open
arms. Some people need ground rules
spelled out for them, and your moth-
er appears to be one of them.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman whos uninterested in marriage gets pressure from her family
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). Decide
what you want to accomplish.
Your full attention will be neces-
sary to accomplish anything of
note. Multitasking will lead to
diminished productivity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youve
seen a lot. Time with children
or less experienced people will
restore your youthful exuber-
ance while making you glad for
all youve been through.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You cant
stand the thought of getting into
a rut. People watch you because
youre bound to do something
entertaining. Youll surprise your
public with unexpected moves.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). In
everything you do, youll bring
a soulfulness of expression that
comes from the heart. There are
those few who will be uneasy
with your level of feeling, and
yet theyll be better for it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll be
inclined to go along with whats
happening, but not all the way.
There will be finer points that
you cant abide by, and you also
cant help but voice your dis-
agreement. Youll make people
think.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have
a lightness about you. Everyone
who comes to you will leave
feeling lifted. For some, the dif-
ference will be slight, and others
will experience great buoyancy
of spirit just being around you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seeing
the potential in things is a help-
ful life skill, and you use it all the
time. It doesnt necessarily mean
youre dissatisfied with the way
things are. Its just that you love
the idea of growth.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
youre in the majority, its easy to
be bold. But the one who shows
courage even when the numbers
are against him is truly brave.
Youll be such a person today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll be the one to set the pace
for those around you, many of
whom will have to run to keep
up with you. Slow down tonight,
and notice the one who needs to
connect with you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youre not sure that youre
exactly where you want to be,
but you can see definite benefits
to your position. Youll notice
what you have to leverage, and
youll use it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your
sign mate Ellen DeGeneres said,
Stay true to yourself. Never fol-
low someone elses path, unless
youre in the woods and youre
lost and you see a path. By all
means, you should follow that.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
need bigger reserves of patience,
especially where the opposite
sex is concerned. If you can stay
a bit detached, it will be easier.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12).
You will feel as though you are
divinely guided to do whats right
not only for you, but for future
generations. To some degree,
this will rectify the injustices
borne by your ancestors. March
brings a ticket to fun. Youll
love the people you meet. June
features flirtation and intrigue.
August is your best travel
month. Love signs are Scorpio
and Sagittarius. Your lucky num-
bers are: 20, 14, 33, 17, 9 and 40.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
January 12, 2012
CITY OF WILKES-BARRE
40 EAST MARKET STREET
WILKES-BARRE, PA 18711
PHONE: (570) 208-4132
These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural
requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of
Wilkes-Barre.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about January 30, 2012 the City of Wilkes-Barre will sub-
mit a request to the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development for the release of Community Development
Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project
known as Demolition of the structure located at 307 North River
Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Wilkes-Barre has determined that the projects will
have no significant impact on the human environment. There-
fore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Addi-
tional project information is contained in each Environmental
Review Record (ERR) on file at the Office of Economic & Com-
munity Development, 40 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA
18711, and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M. to
4:30 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments
on the ERRs to the Office of Economic & Community Develop-
ment. All comments received by January 28, 2012 will be con-
sidered by the City of Wilkes-Barre prior to authorizing submis-
sion of a request for release of funds. Comments should speci-
fy which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Wilkes-Barre certifies to HUD Thomas M. Leighton in
his capacity as Mayor of the City of Wilkes-Barre consents to
accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is
brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmen-
tal review process and that these responsibilities have been sat-
isfied. HUDs States approval of the certification satisfies its
responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and
allows the City of Wilkes-Barre to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of
Wilkes-Barres certification for a period of fifteen days following
the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the
request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the follow-
ing bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certify-
ing Officer of the City of Wilkes-Barre; (b) the City of Wilkes-
Barre has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding
required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant
recipient or other participants in the development process have
committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not
authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of
funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to
40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the proj-
ect is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quali-
ty. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance
with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and
shall be addressed to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, HUD Pennsylvania State Office, The Wanamaker
Building, 100 Penn Square East, Philadelphia, PA 19107-3380.
Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last
day of the objection period.

City of Wilkes-Barre
