County officials

CityVest asked the county to take control of the

COURT BRIEFS
WASHINGTONIgnoringa
presidential veto threat, the
Democratic-controlled Senate
on Thursday overwhelmingly
approved a massive, $662 bil-
lion defense bill that would re-
quire the military to hold sus-
pected terrorists linked to al-
Qaida or its affiliates, eventhose
captured on U.S. soil.
The vote was 93-7 for the bill
authorizing money for military
personnel, weapons systems,
national security programs in
theEnergyDepartment, andthe
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in
the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Reflecting a period of austerity
and a winding down of decade-
old conflicts, the bill is $27 bil-
lion less than what President
Barack Obama requested and
$43 billion less than what Con-
gress gave the Pentagon this
year.
Shortly before final passage,
the Senate unanimously backed
crippling sanctions on Iran as
fears about Tehran developing a
nuclear weapon outweighed
concerns about driving up oil
prices that would hit econom-
ically strappedAmericans at the
gas pump. The vote was 100-0.
The Senates version of the
defense bill still must be recon-
ciled with the House-passed
measure inthe final weeks of the
congressional session.
Defense Secretary Leon Pa-
netta and FBI Director Robert
Mueller both oppose the provi-
sions as does the White House.
Late Thursday, a White
House official said the veto
threat still stands.
The bill would require mili-
tary custody of a suspect
deemed to be a member of al-
Qaida or its affiliates and in-
volved in plotting or commit-
ting attacks on the U.S.
Senate defies Obama
on new defense bill
The plan would increase

An attorney for the health trust said
an appeal is in order, which could delay

We dont know where the appeals

firm that represented both districts.
Pittston Area School District Super-
intendent George Cosgrove referred
comment to the districts solicitor, Jo-

We are very pleased with the courts

Saporito said.

WHAT S NEXT
In an annual reminder to taxpayers,
the Internal Revenue Service has an-
nounced it is looking to return $153.3
million in undelivered tax refund
checks.
About $6millionof that amount is due
to 3,087 Pennsylvanians, said state IRS
spokesman David Stewart.
Across the United States, 99,123 tax-
payers are due refund checks this year
that could not be delivered because of
mailing address errors. Undelivered re-
fund checks average $1,547 this year. In
Pennsylvania, theyaverage$1,976, Stew-
art said.
Taxpayers who believe their refund
checkmayhavebeenreturnedtotheIRS
as undelivered should use the Wheres
My Refund? tool on the IRS.gov web-
site. The tool will provide the status of
their refund and, in some cases, instruc-
tions on how to resolve delivery prob-
lems.

A new 30-acre mobile home park to
provide temporary housing for flood
victims is under construction in
Wyoming County.
The park, located on a hilltop off
Wellwood Road near Route 92 in
Tunkhannock Township, is one of on-
ly two such sites being built by the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency and the Army Corps of Engi-
neers in the wake of the September
flood.
The government is also building a
similar park near Sayre, Bradford
County, and expanding a park off
Shoemaker Avenue in Exeter and two
in Columbia County to house flood
victims.
Jack Schuback,
director of Disaster
Recovery for FEMA
Region III, said the
agency hopes to be-
gin moving families
into the Tunkhan-
nock Township fa-
cility by the end of
the month.
We were target-
ing mid-December
as an optimistic
completion date.
The 2 inches or so
of rain last week
and the inch or so of
rain just a couple of days ago set us
back, Schuback said. Were hoping
to get some families in before Christ-
mas, but right now were just unsure.
Constructing a new park site is the
most costly option for housing disas-
ter victims, Schuback said. He esti-
mated the Tunkhan-
nock Township site
will cost between $3
million and $4 million
to build, not counting
the cost of trailers,
which cost up to
$45,000 new.
FEMA prefers the
more economical op-
tions of providing sti-
pends for rental hous-
ing when that hous-
ing is available or
placing trailers on the
property of disaster
victims, as long as
that property is free of
debris and outside the FEMA-defined
flood plain.

WILKES-BARRE
Shackled and handcuffed,
convicted drug dealer Joann
Fonzo identified David
Big Sisk as one of the top
two executives in a violent
street gang that peddled
more than$15millioninher-
oin in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Fonzo, 35, serving a 15-
to-30-month sentence in
state prison on drug charg-
es, testified at Sisks prelimi-
nary hearing in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court on
Thursday.
A onetime buyer turned
seller for Sisk, Fonzo testi-
fied she sold 10 to 12 bricks
of heroin a
week for
the Sex,
Money,
Murder fac-
tion of the
Bloods
street gang
in the area
for nearly
two years.
Eachbrickof
heroin con-
tains 50 her-
oin packets.
Deputy
Attorney
General
Tim Doherty said Sisk was
second in command of the
gang in charge of recruiting
drug sellers and collecting
money.
After more than an hour
of testimony from Fonzo
and two undercover drug
agents, District Judge Mar-
tin Kane determined prose-
cutors established a case
against Sisk, sending11felo-
ny drug offenses to Luzerne
County Court.
Sisk, formerly of Madison
Street, Wilkes-Barre, is serv-
ing a five-year prison sen-
tence in NewJersey on drug
and firearm offenses, ac-
cording to the New Jersey
Department of Corrections
website.
Fonzo testified she began
buying individual heroin
packets from Sisk and mem-
bers of the gang in late 2008.
Her role changed to selling
for Sisk and driving him to
Paterson, N.J., to pick up
heroin to sell in the Wilkes-
Barre area. She said she was
paid $300 and given10 hero-
in packets after each trip.
Sitting several feet away
from one another, Fonzo of-
ten smirked and stared at
Sisk, who was seated next to
his attorney, Joseph Sklaros-
ky Sr.
Sisk was among17 people
charged in Operation Blood-
stain, which targeted the
heroin trafficking ring in-
volving mostly Bloods gang
members in October 2010.
Doherty said the Sex,
Money, Murder faction of
the Bloods was responsible
for distributing 1.5 million
heroin packets on local
streets for nearly three
years.
An undercover drug agent
testifiedthe investigationin-
to the gang members start-
ed when arrests were made
of street-level drug dealers
selling heroin that was
stamped OBAMA 99 in
2008.
Sisk is scheduled for a for-
mal arraignment on Feb. 10
in county court.

that specific month in health
care.
It was a fair decision, said at-
torney Howard Levinson, who
represents the districts. Our
compliments (go) to the school
board members who looked at a
situation they thought was un-
fair and had the courage and for-
titude to pursue a lawsuit on be-
half of the taxpayers to right
what they believed was wrong.
Withdrew in 2007
According to court papers, the
districts withdrew from the trust
in 2007, citing that it had built a
hefty surplus by charging more
than necessary for premiums.
The districts sought and ulti-
mately sued for what they claim
is their share of the surplus.
The trust, formed in 1999, is a
consortium of 11 area districts
formed in an attempt to lower
health insurance costs.
Scott Gartley, an attorney who
represents the health trust, said
his client will be taking full ad-
vantage of its rights in an appeal.
(Wetzel) simply got it
wrong, Gartley said. The real
losers are the taxpayers of Lu-
zerne County because the trust
has saved millions in taxpayer
dollars.
Gartley said in 2011, the dis-
tricts that are members of the
trust had a credit of $3.8 million.
Attorney Robert Mariani had
also represented the health trust,
but he has since been nominated
to serve as a judge on the U.S.
District Court for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania.
Mariani argued at the June
trial that the districts lawsuit
was an attempt at a money
grab and that no one forced the
districts out of the trust.
They are no longer part of the
trust. That money is used for
people in the trust, Mariani said
at the time. The surplus stays in
the trust. The trustees agreed to
that.
In Wetzels 16-page opinion
that accompanied his ruling, he
said the argument that the
health trust surplus is a pool
that various other districts can
take from would be a violation
of public policy.
It is preposterous to ascertain
that (the districts) or any of the
other districts in the health trust
would be agreeable to paying for
another districts health and wel-
fare benefits, Wetzel wrote.
Gartley said Thursday the
trust was formed as a pool and
it will continue to run that way
because that was its original in-
tention.
Because of that, (members)
are guaranteed health care rates
that will remain low, he said.

Base transferred to Iraqis
A
s Iraqi flags were raised in what
was once a giant U.S. military base,
Joe Biden joined Iraqi officials in hon-
oring forces who the vice president
said made it possible to end this war.
The American militarys role here is
nearing an end, but Iraqis still must
contend with the violence that the
nearly nine-year conflict unleashed: 20
people were killed in attacks around
the country Thursday.
Bidens comments came during a
ceremony at Camp Victory, one of the
last American bases that will be hand-
ed over to the Iraqi government before
U.S. troops leave Iraq this month.
The Iraqi government hosted the
ceremony as a way to honor the sacri-
fices of Iraqi and U.S.-led coalition
forces.
WASHINGTON
Cuts, benefits debated
Republicans and Democrats bickered
and blustered Thursday toward eventu-
al compromise legislation extending
expiring Social Security payroll tax
cuts and long-term jobless benefits
through 2012, each seeking political
advantage for elections almost a year
distant.
The White House weighed in with a
written statement opposing the GOP
approach, which presidential press
secretary Jay Carney said includes
window dressing hung by Repub-
licans seeking to cut costs by freezing
federal workers pay through 2015 and
reducing the government bureaucracy.
By contrast, President Barack Oba-
ma and most Democrats in Congress
want to extend and expand the payroll
tax cut and pay for it by slapping a 3.25
percent surtax on incomes of $1 million
or more.
Neither of two rival measures was
expected to gain the 60 votes necessary
for passage, a double-barreled rejection
likely to clear the way for talks on a
compromise.
ISLAMABAD
U.S. hostage is held
Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri
says the group is holding an American
aid expert kidnapped three months ago
in Pakistan.
Al-Zawahri said in a video message
Thursday that Warren Weinstein would
be released if the United States stop-
ped airstrikes in Afghanistan and Pakis-
tan.
The video was posted on militant
websites and released Thursday by
SITE, a group that monitors militant
activity.
Weinstein was abducted by armed
men from his house in the eastern city
of Lahore on Aug. 13.
Police and U.S. officials have not
publicly said who they believe to be
holding him.
WASHINGTON
Election financing opposed
The House on Thursday passed a bill
to end the public financing of presi-
dential campaigns. It would dismantle
a system set up after the Watergate
scandal of the 1970s that has been
overshadowed in recent years by the
huge sums of private money pouring
into elections.
The bill would remove from income
tax forms the check-off box where
taxpayers can voluntarily steer $3 into
a fund for presidential primaries and
general elections. The Republican-
backed measure passed 235-190 on a
nearly party-line vote.
It now goes to the Senate, where the
Democratic majority is unlikely to take
it up.

Despite the governments considera-

juice has few natural nutrients, lots of
calories and, in some cases, more sugar
than soda has. It trains a child to like ve-
ry sweet things, displaces better bever-
ages and foods, and adds to the obesity
problem, its critics say.
Its like sugar water, said Judith

for Weight Watchers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics
says juice can be part of a healthy diet,
but its policy is blunt: Fruit juice offers
no nutritional benefit for infants young-
er than 6 months and no benefits over
whole fruit for older kids.
Kids under 12 consume 28 percent of
all juice and juice drinks, according to
the academy.

BRUSSELS More than ever
before, the European Central
Bank seems willing to consider
bolder action to address the con-
tinents financial crisis.
A month ago, at his first news
conference as ECB President,
Mario Draghi said it was point-
less for European governments
to expect the
bank to rescue
them through
massive bond
purchases. That
had been the
same stance as
his predecessor,
Jean-Claude
Trichet. But on
Thursday,
Draghi hinted
that such expec-
tations might
not be futile af-
ter all.
Draghi
opened the
door to further
ECBintervention ever so slightly
in a speech to the European Par-
liament. He said the bank is pre-
pared to play a bigger, yet limited
role in the resolution of Europes
debt crisis but only after the17
countries that use the euro tether
their economies more tightly.
Confirmation that such a plan
is afoot came later Thursday in a
speech by French President Nico-
las Sarkozy. He said he and Ger-
man Chancellor Angela Merkel
will met Monday in Paris and un-
veil their proposals for European
treaty changes aimed at prevent-
ing a catastrophic breakup of Eu-
ropes 17-nation currency union.
Speculation is mounting that
EUleaders will align their spend-
ing policies more closely to bring
government debt levels under
control in the future.

LOS ANGELES Some of the worst
winds in years blasted the West over-
night, knocking down trees and power
lines in California and toppling trucks
and forcing some schools to close as
gusts reached 102 mph in Utah.
The winds left hundreds of thousands
of people without power, mainly in Cali-
fornia, darkening streets and traffic
lights as commuters made their way in-
to work.
It was a terrifying ride for me, com-
ing here in pitch dark ... and watching
motorists take no notice of lights being
out, saidBob Spencer, a spokesmanfor
the Los Angeles County Department of
Public Works.
What the weather experts are telling
us are that these probably are the worst
windstorms to hit (the area) in more
than a decade, Spencer said, adding
that preliminary reports suggest exten-
sive damage.
The windstorms come as a large, low-
pressure system moved into California.
It promises to bring similar, but less fe-
rocious conditions as far awayas Wyom-
ing and New Mexico, meteorologists
said.
The National Weather Service issued
high wind warnings and advisories for
parts of California, Utah, Nevada,
Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico.
The front will bring blustery weather
to Oklahoma, Missouri and Indiana,
Rorke said.
In Southern California, high winds
blewover at least sixsemitrailers before
dawnonhighways belowthe CajonPass
in San Bernardino County, said Califor-
nia Highway Patrol Officer Mario Lo-
pez.
Northeast of Los Angeles, foothill
communities were hard hit as the winds
swept downtheSanGabriel Mountains.
A 97-mph gust was recorded Wednes-
day night at Whitaker Peak in Los An-
geles County.
High gusts Thursday morning
topped 60 mph.
Pasadena closedschools andlibraries
anddeclareda local emergency, the first
since 2004. Fire officials said 40 people
were evacuated from an apartment
building after a tree collapsed.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A13-year-oldwas
handcuffed and hauled off to a juvenile deten-
tion for burping in class, according to a lawsuit
filed against an Albuquerque school principal,
a teacher and school police officer.
The boy was transportedwithout his parents
beingnotifiedinMayafter he burpedaudibly
in PE class and his teacher called a school re-
source officer to complain he was disrupting
her class. The lawsuit also details a separate
Nov. 8 incident when the same student was
forced to strip to his underwear while five
adults watchedas he was accusedof selling pot
to another student; the boy was never charged.
The suit was one of two filed Wednesday by
civil rights attorney Shannon Kennedy, who
says she has been fighting the district and po-
lice for years over the use of force withproblem
children. In the other case, the parents of a 7-
year-old boy with autism accuse an Albuquer-
que police officer of unlawful arrest for hand-
cuffing the boy to a chair after he became ag-
itated in class.
New Mexico law prohibits officers and
school officials fromrestrainingchildrenunder
11.
The suits come one year after the same at-
torney settleda class-actionlawsuit against the
district that was promptedbythearrest of agirl
who Kennedy said didnt want to sit by the
stinky boy in class. And Kennedy says she has
a number of other cases she is preparing over
treatment of students in Albuquerque by
school officials, school police, city police and
sheriffs officers.
Kennedy said the problem lies with the
schools more than with the police department.
It lands in the lap of the principal. There are
good schools and bad schools. The principals
... who are handling their schools properly
dont needto have childrenarrested. Its ridicu-
lous.
A spokesman for Albuquerque Public
Schools did not immediately return calls and
emails seeking comment on Thursday. A spo-
keswoman for the police said the department
does not comment on pending litigation.

By JERI CLAUSING
Associated Press
Diakon Hospice Saint John, which
operates hospice care at facilities in
Hazleton, Allentown and Wyomiss-
ing, has agreed to resolve its liability
for violations of the False Claims Act
by paying the United States $10.56
million.
The announcement was made
Thursday by the U.S. Attorneys Of-
fice for the Middle District of Penn-
sylvania and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Office of
the Inspector General.
According to those offices, from
Oct. 1, 2004, through Oct. 1, 2010,
Diakon erroneously submitted claims
to Medicare for hospice care provid-
ed to Medicare beneficiaries during
periods of time in which the bene-
ficiaries were not eligible for hospice
benefits under the Medicare regula-
tions.
Earlier this year, Diakon voluntari-
ly disclosed to federal authorities
that it had received improper Medi-
care and Medicaid payments. By vol-
untarily disclosing improper billing
practices, Diakon avoided a govern-
ment lawsuit under the FCA and was
able to negotiate a settlement.
The FCA provides that parties who
voluntarily disclose violations of the
act are liable for double damages, in-
stead of triple damages and civil pe-
nalties between $5,500 and $11,000
for each violation.
Health care providers that make
billing compliance, self-policing and
self-reporting a priority foster trust in
the health care industry said Nick
DiGiulio, special agent in charge for
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services Office of Inspector
General. These actions demonstrate
that Diakon Hospice Saint John cares
about returning money, incorrectly
attained, to our federal health pay-
ment programs.
Mark T. Pile, president of Diakon,
issued a statement in which he apol-
ogized for the mistakes, which he
called unintentional.
We deeply regret that this situa-
tion occurred. While it was uninten-
tional, it does not reflect our commit-
ment to compliance and excellence.
As a result, we have taken and will
continue to take steps within our
hospice program and organization to
reaffirm this commitment, Pile said.
The financial loss will not result in
the closing of any of Diakons facil-
ities, according to company spokes-
man Bill Swanger.
We are a nearly 150-year organiza-
tion with sound financial practices.
When this potential situation came
to light last year, we took gains on
investments and then, later, sold
some additional investments and es-
sentially put those funds aside for the
potential repayment, Swanger said.

PITTSBURGH A re-
cently released study on nat-
ural gas drilling and contam-
ination of water wells, con-
tentious issues as drillers
swarm to a lucrative shale
formation beneath Pennsyl-
vania, had an error, accord-
ing to researchers from Penn
State University.
The researchers reported
that there is far less evidence
of well contamination by bro-
mides, salty mineral com-
pounds that
can combine
with other ele-
ments to cause
health prob-
lems, than first
suggested.
The researchers are re-
viewing the entire study, re-
leased in October, after dis-
covering that results from an
independent water testing
lab contained the error.
One water well, not seven,
showed increased bromide
levels after drilling, the re-
searchers said in a statement
issued last week by The Cen-
ter for Rural Pennsylvania, a
state-funded agency that first
released the study.
One of the Penn State Uni-
versity researchers, Bryan
Swistock, said in an email
that the study didnt go
through an independent sci-
entific peer review process
because of a Center for Rural
Pennsylvania policy that re-
ports must first go to the
General Assembly before
outside publication.
The study is now being
submitted for outside review,
he said.
Patrick Creighton, a
spokesman for the Marcellus
Shale Coalition, a gas indus-
try group, said in an email
that the error was small
and that the key point is still
that nearly 40 percent of the
wells tested failed at least
one water quality standard
even before natural gas drill-
ing started, along with near-
ly 20 percent that showed
traces of methane before
drilling.
The researchers said a cor-
rected version of the study
will be issued.
A gas drilling procedure
called hydraulic fracturing,
or fracking, which involves
blasting chemical-laced wa-
ter into the ground, has been
studied by the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency
and others as drillers flock to
the Marcellus Shale region
primarily beneath Pennsylva-
nia, New York, West Virginia
and Ohio. Pennsylvania is
the center of activity, with
more than 3,000 wells drilled
in the past three years and
thousands more planned.
Environmentalists and oth-
er critics say fracking could
poison water supplies, but
the natural gas industry says
its been used safely for dec-
ades.

W
alter Eugene Pupa peacefully
left this worldfor a better place
on Tuesday evening, November 29,
2011, fromWakeMedHospital inRa-
leigh, N.C.
Walt was a tremendous gentle-
man with a life full of accomplish-
ments. He touched so many people,
but none more than his close family
members and friends. He was an ex-
ceptional father and role model for
his sons and grandchildren. He was
an amazingly strong man in body,
character and will.
From humble beginnings in the
Pittston, Pennsylvania, a coal
mining region during the depres-
sion, he earned a football scholar-
ship to the University of North Car-
olina in Chapel Hill.
During the recruiting process to
UNCby CoachJimTatum, Walts fa-
ther convinced him to attend UNC,
because, as the coach described it,
thestreets must bepavedwithgold
in Chapel Hill.
Walts educationandcollege foot-
ball career was interrupted by his
service in the military during World
War II.
Walt served in the U.S. Navys
Tunney program, which assigned
physical education majors as train-
ers for new recruits.
After the war, Walt returned to
UNC to complete both his under-
graduate and graduate degrees.
He earned All-American status as
the bruising fullback during the Jus-
tice-era, and played in the1946 Sug-
ar Bowl.
He was awarded the prestigious
Patterson Medal, presented to the
senior student-athlete inthe Univer-
sity whois judgedby a committee of
faculty, administrators, and stu-
dents to be most outstanding in ath-
letic ability, sportsmanship, morale,
leadership, and general conduct.
Walt was drafted by the Chicago
Bears to play professionally, but fol-
lowing knee surgery, elected to re-
tire as a player and become an as-
sistant football coach at UNC.
Followingafive-year coachingca-
reer, he began his business career as
a sales engineer at Amoco Oil Com-
pany, where he exemplified his
work-ethic for over 30 years.
He became a very accomplished
amateur golfer in North and South
Carolina, winning many tourna-
ments.
He led a very active retirement
life that included playing golf at Ra-
leigh Country Club, attending UNC
sporting events, serving as an usher
at church and supporting numerous
charitable organizations.
Walt was a lifetime member of
the General Alumni Association
plus a long-timemember of theEdu-
cational Foundation at UNC and
had been inducted into numerous
Halls of Fame.
Walt was precededindeathbyhis
loving wife, Babette (Betty) Rei-
chold Pupa, in 2003. He demon-
strated his devotion and love for her
over the years and now can be with
her again in heaven. How he cared
for her, especially during her last
years of life when she struggled
with Alzheimers, were true exam-
ples of his love for her and the depth
of his character.
He is survived by his three sons
and daughters-in-law, Walter Rei-
chold and Margaret Linda Jones Pu-
pa, Raleigh, N.C.; Edward Reichold
andMaryRuthJones Pupa, Raleigh,
N.C., andThomas ReicholdandLin-
da Sue Clawson Pupa, Hartsville,
S.C. He has seven loving grandchil-
dren, Nicholas, Aaron, Benjamin,
Jordan, Sarah, Jessica andJohn; and
one great-grandchild, Gavin. He is
also survived by his two brothers,
Arthur and Edward Pupa, and many
loving family members in Pennsyl-
vania.
The family will receive vis-
itors from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday,
in Mitchell Funeral Home (783-

J
ust like the seasons that come
and go, when the flowers of
Spring lay buried in snow, God
sends tothe heart inits winters sad-
ness, a springtime awakening of
new hope and gladness.
This wintry day of November
30th, 2011, Marjorie (Margie) Ed-
wards Miller, went to be with her
Lord and Savior with that awaken-
ing of new hope and gladness.
She was born March 19, 1924, a
daughter of the late Issac and Laura
Watkins Edwards. She graduated
from Plymouth High School, class
of 1942.
Margie worked for the Internal
Revenue Service, Camden, N.J., and
the Half-Circle Barb-b-que Restau-
rant, Hanover Township, where she
prepared countless delicious barb-
b-ques.
She was a member of the Cherry
Street Bible Church, Plymouth. She
was the Ladies Aid Societys trea-
surer, and also the treasurer of the
Joy Sunday School Class. She en-
joyed singing in the choir.
Margie demonstrated forbea-
rance and showed an inner beauty.
She had a soothing effect when oth-
ers were troubled by calming their
fears and had compassion when her
neighbors or family were in need.
Neighbors were helped by Mar-
gie as she showed themher warmth
and love. Many great cook-outs
were heldinMargie andFreds back-
yard. She had a certain content-
ment, and not a complaint about
others came from her lips. She al-
ways had a good word about others
which made it so refreshing to be in
her company.
She was delighted to see her
friends and family being blessed by
God. Her acts of kindness will al-
ways be remembered for she lived
by the principle It is far more
blessed to give than to receive.
She appreciated the magnificent
and generous gift of Gods love, Je-
sus her Savior. She endeavored to
live a life of happiness.
It is said, Happiness is a state of
mind, within the reach of everyone
who takes the time to be kind.
Margie was preceded in death by
her husband, Fred, in1994. Alsopre-
ceding her were a sister, Dorothy
Morgan, and her husband, Jack

SCRANTON ABloomsburg
University field hockey player
who was expelled after being
chargedwithassaultinganother
woman filed a federal lawsuit
against the university Wednes-
day, alleging her right to due
process was violated.
Lauren McGinley, 20, of
Wilkes-Barre, claims the
schools disciplinarytribunal de-
prived her of a fair hearing by
having improper, private meet-
ings with her accuser and pre-
cluding her frompresenting evi-
dence or cross-examining wit-
nesses.
Rosalee Rush, spokeswoman
for the university, declined to
comment on the suit.
McGinley was among three
field hockey players who were
charged in October with simple
assault and harassment in con-
nection with an attack on Ash-
ley Carsia, a 2011 Bloomsburg
University graduate and former
member of the swim team.
Police said McGinley and
teammates Nicole Bruce and
Alexis Weber attacked Carsia af-
ter she left a Bloomsburgrestau-
rant with several friends on Oct.
9.
Carsia was knocked uncon-
scious during the assault and
suffered a broken nose and nu-
merous scratches and abra-
sions. McGinley, Bruce and
Weber face a preliminary hear-
ing on the charges Dec. 28.
McGinleys lawsuit, filed by
attorney William Vinsko of
Wilkes-Barre, says the universi-
ty held a disciplinary hearing on
Nov. 2 and voted to expel
McGinley.
Vinskocontends the disciplin-
ary hearing violated McGinleys
due process rights in a number
of ways. McGinley was not per-
mitted to review Carsias medi-
cal records or to cross-examine
witnesses.
The tribunal also met private-
ly with Carsia, which Vinsko
says potentially compromised
its impartiality, and also permit-
tedtestimonyfrompersons who
did not witness the assault.
Vinskoalsoalleges the univer-
sity selectively chose to punish
McGinley whereas other stu-
dent athletes who have come
under criminal investigation
have been permitted to remain
at school.
The suit seeks unspecified
monetary damages on several
counts.
U.S. District Judge Christoph-
er Conner has scheduled a hear-
ing for 2 p.m. today regarding a
temporary restraining order
Vinsko filed that seeks to force
the university to immediately
reinstate McGinley to the
school and field hockey team.

SCRANTON A ruling by a
federal judge on Wednesday
means Luzerne County has now
been dismissed as a defendant in
all of the federal lawsuits that
were filed related to the Luzerne
County juvenile justice scandal.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo granted the countys mo-
tion to dismiss it as a defendant
in a lawsuit filed by Angela Rim-
mer Belanger and Kelly Farmer.
The suit was among a total of
eight lawsuits relating to the
kids for cash scandal that have
been consolidated by the federal
court system for pre-trial mat-
ters. Each of the cases was eval-
uated separately regarding mo-
tions to dismiss that were filedby
defendants.
Caputo had previously issued
rulings dismissing Luzerne
County as a defendant in the oth-
er seven lawsuits. The latest rul-
ing means the county is now out
of the complicated legal case
once and for all, said the coun-
tys attorney, Timothy Myers of
Elliott Greenleaf & Dean.
It is a significant victory for
the taxpayers and citizens of Lu-
zerne County, who could have
been repeatedly victimized in
lawsuits for no fault of their own,
and because of the sins of a small
group of greedy men, Myers
said.
The ruling does not end the
case for the plaintiffs as numer-
ous other defendants still re-
main, however.
Each of the suits has named
multiple defendants, including
former judges Mark Ciavarella
andMichael Conahan; Robert Po-
well, the former co-owner of two
juvenile detention centers at the
heart of the scandal,
and Robert Mericle,
who built the centers.
The allegations in
each of the lawsuits
have varied, but all are
based on the general
premise that Ciavarella
and Conahan conspir-
ed with others to
wrongly incarcerate ju-
veniles at Powells de-
tention centers in or-
der to benefit them-
selves and others financially.
The Belanger suit made addi-
tional allegations against former
county commissioners Greg
Skrepenak and Todd Vonderheid
and former chief clerk SamGues-
to, alleging those officials were
also part of the conspiracy.
Caputo previously found there
was aninsufficient basis for those
claims, saying they were based
onspeculationandinnuendo. Be-
langers attorney, ArnoldLevinof
Philadelphia, still included the
claims inanamend-
ed complaint he fil-
ed, however.
In his ruling
Wednesday, Capu-
to reaffirmedhis or-
der dismissing the
county.
Since, as the
court has already
held, plaintiffs have
failed to state any
claim against (the
county) defend-
ants, their motion to dismiss will
be granted, Caputo said.
Caputos ruling also addressed
motions to dismiss that were fil-
ed by Powell, Mericle and former
juvenile probation official Sandra
Brulo. Caputo dismissed certain
counts of the complaint against
those defendants, but allowed
others to continue.
Myers said Brulos defense is
not being handled by the county
because she was an employee of
the court system, not the county.
County safe from all kids suits
The last of the lawsuits filed
in kids for cash scandal will
not impact Luzerne County.
The latest ruling
means the county is
now out of the
complicated legal
case once and for
all, said the coun-
tys attorney, Tim-
othy Myers of El-
liott Greenleaf &
Dean.
SCRANTON Afederal appel-
late court has upheldthe dismiss-
al of a lawsuit filed by a former
Kingston police officer who al-
leged he was falsely accused of a
crime andfiredinretaliationfor a
discrimination compliant he fil-
ed.
The Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals on Wednesday upheld U.S.
District Judge A. Richard Capu-
tos rulingthat dismissedthe law-
suit filed by Daniel Griffin.
Griffin sued the municipality
of Kingston, police Chief Keith
Keiper, administrator Paul Keat-
ing and others in 2008. The suit
alleged the officials conspired to
file false criminal charges against
Griffin in retaliation for a com-
plaint he filed with a state agency
that alleged he was wrongly de-
nied a promotion because of a
work-related injury.
Griffin was fired in 2007 after
he was charged with illegally al-
tering a receipt he submitted
seeking reimbursement for a gun
he had purchased. He was con-
victed in 2008 of forgery and con-
spiracy to commit theft by decep-
tion.
CaputodismissedGriffins law-
suit inFebruary based, inpart, on
evidence Kingston presented
that refutedhis claims he was dis-
abled. That evidence consistedof
a videotape that showed Griffin
carrying a recliner and doing
yard work.
Caputo also rejected the retal-
iation claim, saying Griffins con-
viction on the criminal charges
supported the municipalitys
claim his firing was justified.
The Third Circuit Court
agreed, noting Griffin failed to
provide any evidence to mea-
ningfully contest the videotape
evidence. The court also found
he presented no evidence to re-
fute Kingstons position that his
firing was justified.
Dismissal of former officers suit upheld
Daniel Griffin had sued
Kingston, saying he was
wrongly terminated.
An area man who pleaded
guilty in 2008 to helping reputed
mobster William Billy DElia
conceal thesourceof drugmoney
has been charged by federal au-
thorities in South Carolina with
operating a scheme to defraud in-
vestors, according to a prosecu-
tor.
Frank Pavlico III was arrested
by Pennsylvania authorities on
Tuesday based on a criminal
complaint filed by the U.S. Attor-
neys Office in Greensville, S.C.
David Stephens, an assistant
U.S. attorney in Greensville, said
Pavlico was charged with one
count of wire fraud. Stephens
said prosecutors allege Pavlico
offered a bogus investment to a
person he thought was an inves-
tor, but who was really an oper-
ative for the FBI.
In the Pennsylvania case, Pav-
lico, of Clarks Green, was sen-
tenced in January 2008 to 10
months in federal prison for his
role in an elaborate money laun-
dering scheme involving DElia
and local coal company heir
Louis Pagnotti III.
Prosecutors said Pavlico,
DElia and another man, Richard
Smallacombe, funneled hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in
drug money through Pagnottis
coal companyandtwoother busi-
nesses in order to make it appear
as thought the money was legiti-
mately earned. They then paid it
out to themselves as bogus con-
sulting fees.
Pavlico hadfacedup to11years
in prison, but was sentenced in
January 2008 to just 10 months
basedonarecommendationfrom
prosecutors, who said Pavlico
was a key witness in their case
against DElia.
DElia was sentenced in No-
vember 2008tonine years inpris-
on for his role in the money laun-
dering scheme and charges relat-
ed his attempt to hire a person to
kill Pavlico.
Details of the South Carolina
charges were not available Thurs-
day as the criminal complaint
against Pavlico was filed under
seal. Stephens saidhe expects ad-
ditional information about the
case will be made available after
he presents the case to a federal
grand jury in December.

stop Wednesday morning.
Township police said Jade C.
Perrillo, 45, Country Club Road,
Dorrance Township, was taken
into custody after the traffic stop
on the Sans Souci Parkway at
about 10 a.m.
Perrillo was wanted by the Lu-
zerne County Sheriffs Depart-
ment on charges he failed to ap-
pear at a formal arraignment in
county court on Nov. 18, accord-
ing to court records.
The Northeast Pennsylvania
Insurance Fraud Task Force
charged Perrillo with theft by de-
ception, theft by false impression
and insurance fraud after he al-
legedly submitted hotel and food
bills to his insurance carrier in
2010.
He was charged on July 13 and
remained free without bail.
Perrillos house on Country
Club RoadinDorrance Township
was damaged by a fire on July 14,
2010. Due to the fire, Perrillo was
unable to stay at his house.
Perrillo allegedly submitted a
$2,799 hotel bill and an $11,659
food bill to his insurance carrier
for reimbursement. Perrillo
claimed he stayed at the Wood-
lands Inn & Resort in Plains
Township, according to the crim-
inal complaint.
Insurance investigators al-
leged the hotel receipts were
forged and Perrillo never stayed
at the Woodlands, the criminal
complaint says.
Perrillo was jailed at the coun-
ty prison.

Flood brings hardship
and fellowship to church
T
he Times Leader finally has been very
informative regarding the efforts of the
businesses and residents of Shickshin-
ny to recover from the flood (Shickshinny
on the mend, Nov. 27).
It is good to read some positive experi-
ences and direction noted in the newspa-
per articles of late. The people of the town
and the assistance given to them are to
be commended for the cleanup and resto-
ration completed to date.
However, as the lay pastor of First Pres-
byterian Church, Shickshinny, the only
downtown church to be fully impacted by
the flood, I still remain concerned about
the coverage by the news media. Where
were the interviews and pictures relative
to the damage to our fellowship hall and
building?
Many people have prayed to God for
comfort and help but have seemed to be
neglectful in their concern for one of his
houses of worship.
I want everyone to know that we are
progressing in our restoration with the
assistance of insurance, professional resto-
ration services, the Shickshinny Fire De-
partment and the planning and manual
labor of many of our members.
We are open for worship each Sunday at
10 a.m. and invite other people in the com-
munity to worship with us.
The flood has brought us all closer to-
gether. Christmas will be even more spe-
cial this year.

Writer urges observance
of solemn hour of grace
I
n November 1946, the Virgin Mary is
believed to have appeared to Sister Pieri-
na, a Catholic nun, at Montichiari, Italy.
The Virgin Mary spoke consoling words
to Sister Pierina, of how she intercedes for
all of us so that God continues to grant his
mercy. The Virgin Mary requested, howev-
er, that we accept our crosses daily with
love.
The Virgin Mary asked the good sister to
inform the people to pray from noon to 1
p.m. each Dec. 8, the feast of the Immac-
ulate Conception of Mary. It can be prayed
alone and anywhere, however, with no
interruptions. She called this the hour of
grace and promised many graces, bless-
ings and cures for those who pray this (if
in accordance with the will of the eternal
father).
Mary instructed to begin the hour of
grace by reciting Psalm 51 three times
while your arms are outstretched. The
remaining hour can be completed with any
prayers.
In this Advent season people of good
will should consider setting time aside on
Dec. 8 for the hour of grace. We all have so
much for which to pray, and so much to
gain.

Education, taxpayers
suffer under governor
I
heard on the news that Pennsylvania is
among a few states whose students have
increased their test scores over the last
decade. What a great gift for their futures.
Hows our new governor helping that
cause? Hes cut funding at all levels of
education by nearly $1 billion. But wait.
The gas industry in our state is experi-
encing tremendous growth in successful
gas wells. Now theres a break for us tax-
payers. Oh, wait. Among states with suc-
cessful gas wells, our state is alone in not
levying a gas severance tax.
We dont deserve such a good governor.
We deserve to be punished by a gover-
nor who supports better education. And
our state deserves to be punished with a
gas severance tax.

Clarks Summit
Legislator seeks accord
on drilling regulation bill
A
fter months of meetings, site visits and
public forums, and thousands of phone
calls, letters and emails, I well under-
stand the conflicting views in our area
regarding the Marcellus Shale, with the
extensive environmental concerns on one
side and the hopes for economic benefits
of natural gas drilling on the other side.
Senate Bill 1100, the Senate version of a
natural gas-drilling regulation bill, con-
tains a number of proposals I have worked
on over the course of the last few years
regarding community and environmental
protections, including:
Establishing deeper setbacks from
wells and water sources, expanding
groundwater monitoring and requiring
notification to the operators of public
drinking water systems: Sections 3215,
3218 and 3218.4. (Senate Bill 1452.)
Giving access to location information
needed by emergency responders: Section
3218.3. (Senate Bill 995.)
Raising the standards for operators of
wastewater treatment facilities: Section
3218(g). (Senate Bill 996.)
Placing gathering lines under Penn-
sylvanias One Call system: Section 3218.6.
(Senate Bill 1228.)
There also is a need to increase state
safety inspection and oversight of gas
pipelines and for a registry of Class 1 rural
gathering lines that are prevalent in our
area and becoming more numerous. This
issue is being treated separately from Sen-
ate Bill 1100. A few weeks ago, my Senate
Bill 325 was added to a similar House bill
that we expect to become law in the near
future.
In recent weeks, one of the more conten-
tious items discussed relates to the pre-
emption of local zoning. During debate on
Senate Bill 1100, I voted in favor of an
amendment that would have preserved
local zoning powers. Unfortunately, that
amendment failed by a vote of 22-27.
The current version of the bill contains
an approach modeled on one used to re-
solve agricultural zoning disputes. An
operator will have to request an attorney
general review to determine if a local ordi-
nance allows for the reasonable devel-
opment of oil and gas based on the state
Municipalities Planning Code and court
cases. I will continue to work with the
various local government organizations to
address any outstanding concerns.
Many people want to see taxes imposed
on drilling companies or a fee structure set
much higher. The problem is that approv-
ing a bill likely to be vetoed by the gover-
nor would delay the receipt of additional
funds for our communities and set back
the implementation of the standards and
protections contained in Senate Bill 1100.
Some have erroneously criticized Senate
Bill 1100 for lack of funding to contiguous
communities impacted by, but not hosting,
drilling. The fact is that money is set aside
for all county conservation districts, which
play a key role in overseeing pipeline de-
velopment. The bill also provides funding
for training for emergency responders
across the state through the Office of the
State Fire Commissioner, as well as the
purchase of specialized equipment for
individual departments. I am pushing for
additional dollars to support other impacts
in these counties.
This proposal is not the final answer.
The House recently approved an entirely
different version. Many of its provisions
are less acceptable to people in our area;
some of its provisions would be preferable
to those contained in the Senate-passed
bill. In the weeks ahead, these differences
will have to be negotiated and a consensus
bill developed. During this time, I will
continue to call for further community and
environmental protections.
There is still a crucial role to be played
by public input, up until the time a bill is
sent to the governor. Constituent views
matter to me, whether they agree or dis-
agree with my vote.

HE LOOMING con-
gressional showdown
over whether to ex-
tend Social Security
payroll tax cuts has both politi-
cal parties playing to their sup-
port bases, ignoring the com-
promises and shared sacrifices
that Americans expect.
Democrats are pushing to ex-
tend tax cuts that keep about
$1,000 a year in the pockets of
middle-class families
earning $50,000 a
year. Theyre propos-
ing to pay for it with a
new tax on those
earning more than $1
million a year.
Republicans are
saying the payroll tax
reduction hasnt pro-
duced the benefits of others
such as the Bush tax cuts. They
note that while the cut should
be extendedonly if paidfor, tax-
ing millionaires is a badidea for
a fragile economy.
Thedebate, of course, dances
around the fact that the payroll
tax is intended to fund Social
Security, and that payouts on
Social Security have now ex-
ceeded revenue from the tax. If
Social Securityis tosurvive and
thrive, it will require commit-
ment and sacrifice from all.
It is disappointing that, once
again, Americans arent hearing
about reasonable compromise.
It is time to think about the
long-term health of the nation,
and not the short-term attrac-
tiveness to voters. Instead of
facing off in a world of either/
or, why not both?
The average family would
have difficulty finding an extra
$1,000 a year in its budget. But
there should be a compromise
level to which the payroll tax
could rise, creating a managea-
ble sacrifice for the middle
class.
At the same
time, some level of
tax increase on the
wealthy certainly
also is necessary,
especiallywithcor-
porate profits at re-
cord levels and
capital gains tax
rates lowenoughtomeansome
of the richest Americans now
pay a lower percentage of their
income in taxes than the mid-
dle class.
Any tax increase, even if only
the rolling back of a tax cut,
damages pocketbooks. But
Washington, for reasons of po-
litical expediency, has beenput-
ting off dealing with some fun-
damental problems for far too
long. Despite what politicians
from both parties think of
Americans, we are not afraid of
sacrifice. We only insist that it
be shared.

FTER REVIEWING
the speech President
Barack Obama deliv-
ered at Scranton
High Schools gymnasium
Wednesday, our analysis
shows he clearlystucktothe is-
sues impacting all Americans
and did not make a pre-emp-
tive appeal for votes in Novem-
ber 2012.
An (only slightly skewed)
summary:
Scranton High rocks!
My vice president and good
buddy Joe Biden once lived in
Scranton, which is why today
hes so hardworking and scrap-
py. Like all of you. Hardwork-
ing and scrappy.
Sen. Bob Casey is from
Scranton. I love Bob Casey.
Bob Casey is on board the
Obama Express.
Ive lowered your taxes.
If anyone tells you during
the months ahead that Ive
raised your taxes, theyre
wrong. Tell them theyre
wrong. Ive lowered taxes for
the middle class. And for small
businesses.
I feel your pain. You have
deep frustration, as do I, with
the economic crunch of the
past decade, brought on by pri-
or administrations and a few
bad apples on Wall Street.
I want tokeepyour taxes low
next year. In fact, I want to
make them even lower. But
those stubborn Republicans
stand in our way.
Tell those stubborn, Grin-
chy-Grinch Republicans to get
out of the way, so I can lower
your taxes. Then we all can
have a Merry Christmas, espe-
cially our veterans.
Im bringing our Iraqi war
veterans home in time for the
holidays. I love veterans.
I love you.
See you later, Scranton. God
bless America.
PS: Now Im headed to New
York City for a fewfundraisers.
Obviously this official visit
to Northeastern Pennsylvania
had nothing to do with Oba-
mas re-election efforts or it
would have been paid for with
Democrats campaign dollars,
not your tax dollars. Right?

andare confident that we made the right
choice. Were very excited for United
Ways future under his leadership.
Jones saidhe is honoredtobe selected
and is eager to get started in his newpo-
sition.
The United Way name is well-recog-
nized, but people dont fully understand
how critical it is to the well-being of the
entire community, Jones said. At one
time, more than $5 million was raised
during the annual campaign, but less is
brought in now. We need to get to work
on that so we can meet the needs in the
community.
The United Way would not release
Jones salary. Soper said its the organi-
zations policy not to release that infor-
mation.
According to Federal Form 990 filed
by the United Way in 2010, former Presi-
dent/CEODavid Lee was paid $125,009
by the organization and he received an
additional estimated $33,644 in other
compensation from the United Way and
other organizations. He resigned early
this year.
Jones said its too early to discuss his
agenda; he said he wants to get in the
agency andmeet withall parties andem-
ployees before formulating a game plan.
I will listen to donors, board mem-
bers, provider agencies, service recip-
ients and employees to gather as much
input as possible, he said.
Established in 1921, United Way of
Wyoming Valley is a volunteer-drivenor-
ganization raising and distributing
funds for community needs. United Way
has 27 partner agencies and last year
funded 46 community programs helping
more than 32,000 community members
in the Wyoming Valley.
Soper said the United Ways board
voted unanimously to accept the Exec-
utive Search Committees recommenda-
tion to hire Jones.
The search process was a true com-
munity effort, Soper said. Our search
committee, under the direction of Wil-
liam E. Sordoni, worked diligently to
find the best person for the position.
Soper said Jones has a long history of
service to the Wyoming Valley and his
workhas impactedthousands of lives for
the better.
Jones said that early in his career he
was working at First Eastern Bank and
became a loaned executive to the United
Way.
I was just 21 years old, and I got the
opportunity to work with community
leaders like Wally Stettler, Harold Ro-
senn, Rick Ross, Chuck Parente and oth-
ers. I knewthenthat the UnitedWay had
a powerful mission and was a key re-
source for community good.
Jones said no decision has been made
at VOA on who will be interim director.
He said he is proud of his work at
VOA, having built several quality pro-
grams.
During his tenure, Jones said, the lo-
cal chapter nearly quadrupled its reve-
nue and now has programs that serve
children and youth, homeless young
adults, individuals with mental illness,
low income and at risk families and the
elderly.
The organization also has opened a
large thrift store and operates more than
50 units of affordable housing in the
Wyoming Valley.
Before joining Volunteers of America,
Jones spent 15 years in the banking in-
dustry and was the VP/Community De-
velopment Manager for PNC Bank. He
was a Summa Cum Laude graduate of
College Misericordia in 1985 and re-
ceived his MBA from Wilkes College in
1989.
Jones lives in Mountain Top with his
wife, Janet, and two daughters, Car-
oline, 15 and Rachel 13.

New head of United Way
that Park had conspired with an-
other inmate to have Luzerne
County Assistant District Attor-
ney Alexis Falvello killed.
Park told the detectives Falvel-
lowastheprosecutingattorneyin
his child sex case, but he denied
he placed a hit on anyone, Kol-
charno said.
Park was told that the penalty
for solicitationtocommit murder
was the same as committing a
murder and that if he had ar-
ranged for the hit, he needed to
re-evaluate his decision and con-
tact whomever he needed to en-
sure a murder didnot occur, Kol-
charno said.
The detectives asked Lacka-
wanna County Prison officials to
place Park in restrictive housing
and have his cell sealed and treat-
edas a crime scene.
Thedetectives alsoonTuesday
interviewedDiegoPerez, another
inmate inParks cell blockDelta
Unit, which is used for prisoners
under administrative segrega-
tion. Perez said most people on
his block are puffers, a slang
termused by inmates to describe
childsex offenders.
Perez toldthe detectives that it
was known on the cell block that
he was not a puffer, but housed
there because prison officials be-
lievedhe was a member of the La-
tinKings street gang.
Perez also said Park had be-
friendedhimandtoldhimhe was
a crack dealer who was there on
an arson-related offense, subse-
quently drawinghima mapof the
locationheburiedevidenceof the
supposedarson. Perez saidhe lat-
er learned Park was incarcerated
for childsex offenses.
Perez said Park asked him to
get someoneoutsideof theprison
to retaliate against those respon-
sibleforhisincarceration, namely
Falvello, Hanover Township po-
lice officer David Lewis and Dis-
trict Judge JosephHalesey.
Perez provided a letter and
notes from Park requesting that
he and inmate Anthony Simpson
secure someone to kill Falvello
any way they want, after initial-
ly requesting that she be shot. He
said Park indicated he had a
$3,000 Social Security check and
would use $1,000 of it to pay for a
hit onFalvello.
Kolcharno said Park, when re-
moved from his cell, told correc-
tionsofficersthat hesuspectedhe
was being moved because of a
conversation he had with Perez
relatedtokillingFalvello, but that
it was Perez who suggested hav-
ing Falvello killed and Perez who
toldhimwhat it wouldcost.
Kolcharno also said Park told
the officers he wanted his private
attorney, JohnPike, killedif Pike
blewthe trial.
Simpson provided detectives
with a hand-drawn map of the lo-
cation of Parks supposed arson
evidence. The map also con-
tained Haleseys address, the ad-
dress of the Falvello Law Offices
and a description of Falvello. Kol-
charno said handwriting on the
map matched handwriting on pa-
pers seizedfromParks cell.
Park was arraigned by Lacka-
wanna County District Judge
Joan L. Snyder and lodged at
Lackawanna County Prisonwith-
out bail. His preliminary hearing
is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednes-
day in Lackawanna County Cen-
tral Court.
Park denied the allegations as
he was led out of court. I had no
part of putting anybody on a hit
list, he said.
Halesey declined comment on
the matter, deferring to the Dis-
trict Attorneys Office.
Luzerne County District Attor-
ney Jacqueline Musto Carroll
called the charges against Park
disturbing. Thankfully, Lacka-
wannaCountyauthorities moved
quickly on this, Musto Carroll
said, declining further comment.
According to court records,
Parkwas chargedinOctober 2010
with sexually assaulting a 4-year-
old boy and a 7-year-old girl. His
preliminary hearing on those
charges was delayed until March
at the request of Parks attorney
because of competency issues.

ever, I do want to emphasize that under
the law, the standard is that the reason-
able needs of operating our court sys-
tem must be funded.
Commissioners have already hinted
the courts would be significantly cut,
though they declined comment on spe-
cific figures until the budget unveiling.
County Councilman-elect Rick Mo-
relli asked the commissioners during a
budget briefing session Wednesday if
they expected county judges to sue the
county in an attempt to stop the reduc-
tions.
The commissioners said a suit is pos-
sible, though they dont believe the
courts would win. The issue of court
cuts has not been tested in the county.
Former county Judge Mark Ciavarella
filed a suit against commissioners in
2008 when they passed a budget with
$1.9 million in court salary cuts, arguing
the courts would not have the resources
to carry out justice.
However, the suit was withdrawn by
Ciavarellas president judge successor,
Chester Muroski, after Ciavarella
stepped down amidst the corruption
probe.
The courts ended up furloughing 25
workers and eliminating 14 vacant posi-
tions in 2009, saving the county $2.1
million in salaries and benefits.
According to the draft budget sup-
plied by county Controller Walter Grif-
fith at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, spend-
ing in court branches is slated to be re-
duced from $23.6 million to $18.07 mil-
lion.
The breakdown: court administra-
tion, $4.74 million to $3.99 million, or
-$744,093; orphans court, $416,632 to
$284,798, or -$131,834; central court/
district judges, $3.6 million to $2.4 mil-
lion, or -$1.26 million; domestic rela-
tions, $4.47 million to $3.8 million, or
-$667,382; court stenographers, $1.08
million to $750,286, or -$333,467; and
probation services, $9.27 million to
$6.87 million, or -$2.4 million.
The countys overall budget is de-
creasing from $125.2 million to $121.1
million, if the draft budget remains un-
changed.
Commissioners have said cuts are the
only option because they wont raise
property taxes to cover revenue short-
falls and a $2.9 million increase in debt
repayments.
The new 11-member county council
members will have 45 days to revise the
2012 budget after they take office on
Jan. 2.
Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, al-
so a councilman-elect, said during the
Wednesday meeting the courts would
have to prove they would be impaired
by cuts to win a court challenge. Urban
said a Carbon County judge lost a suit
over court cuts several years ago, and he
does not believe Ciavarella would have
won the 2008 suit over budget cuts.
Commissioner Chairwoman Ma-
ryanne Petrilla told the council-elect
the courts would have to provide statis-
tics on staffing and caseloads to show
that essential services could not be cov-
ered.
Petrilla said court budgets have been
substantially cut since she became a
commissioner in 2008, and court de-
partments are still functioning.
The courts will also lose one district
judge office based on a state analysis of
census data, Petrilla said.
Petrilla said Burke has agreed to ex-
plore the possibility of increasing court-
related fees to generate more revenue.
The courts have also agreed to create a
tipstaff pool, rather than assigning one
to each judge.
Six new judges will join the county in
2012, and commissioners said they
should not automatically receive four
new staffers based on past county court
practice.
Petrilla said court administration has
traditionally kept many judicial staffers
when judges leave while allowing new
judges to add more.
COURTS
Its the courts intention to carefully review the countys
proposed reductions for the court. However, I do want to em-
phasize that under the law, the standard is that the reason-
able needs of operating our court system must be funded.
Judge Thomas Burke
Luzerne County president judge
demned the property.
Commissioners recently voted
to allocate $1 million in federal
community development fund-
ing to demolish the structure.
The building was not expected
to be knocked down until next
year because a demolition plan
must be developed before a con-
tractor is hired, county officials
have said.
CityVest Executive Director
Alex Rogers could not be reac-
hed for comment Thursday. He
has stressed he is not paid to
serve as director.
Four people serve on the
CityVest Board of Directors:
Judd Shoval, the Rev. Thomas
OHara, attorney Richard Goldb-
erg and Dr. Brian ODonnell.
Three seats on the board are va-
cant.
Grand jury proceedings are
closed to the public to protect
sensitive information involving
ongoing investigations and the
privacy rights of people who are
under investigation but who
have not yet been charged with a
crime.
Grand jury panels consist of 16
to 23 members of the public who
are randomly selected fromvoter
registration rolls within the dis-
trict they live. At least 12 panel
members must agree there is suf-
ficient evidence to support the
filing of charges.
Past complaints
County Commissioner Ste-
phen A. Urban has criticized
CityVests decision to pay a
Maine couple $325,000 of the
county loan money to acquire a
property adjacent to the hotel.
Wilkes-Barre city had a
$303,000 lien against the couple
for expenses to demolish the di-
lapidated structure, and CityVest
paid both the couple and the lien.
Urban said the couple Grego-
ry and Stephanie Lull should
have received only the purchase
price minus the lien.
The CityVest board has said
the lien was paid at Wilkes-
Barres request, with the city
pledging to identify future grants
for the project.
The Lulls, former Wilkes-
Barre residents, bought the prop-
erty for $185,000 in 1997 but
moved out of the area without
transforming the buildings into
commercial space and loft-style
apartments as planned.
Citizens have also complained
that CityVest did not mothball
the structure to ensure its preser-
vation.
CityVest officials have said the
nonprofit relied on project man-
ager Lincoln Property Co.s ex-
pert opinion on what work
should be completed with the
limited funds allocated for the
project. Based in Philadelphia,
Lincoln Property received a total
$520,100.
Urban noted Thursday that
CityVest still owes the county $6
million, though repayment has
been put on hold.

42,000whoappliedafter Tropical
Storm Lee, only about 300 are
slated to receive mobile homes.
About 110 families have received
the trailers so far.
FEMA had to go the route of
new construction in Wyoming
and Bradford counties because of
existing housing shortages in the
areas where parks are under con-
struction, Schuback said.
Wyoming County is a little bit
more rural, he said. And Brad-
ford County has not only the
more rural nature but also the
Marcellus Shale impact, where
essentially the gas companies
have come in in the last two years
and acquired a lot of the existing
housing thats up there.
The first stage of construction
in Tunkhannock Township will
make space for 45 to 50 housing
units situated along a straight
road and an additional loop road;
a setup that allows as many trail-
ers as possible to fit on the prop-
erty. The park will have utility
service and safety features such
as lights and street signs, but will
have compressedgravel roads be-
cause it is intended as a tempo-
rary installation.
We dont build these things to
the extent that we would if it was
a permanent subdivision, Schu-
back said. We dont really go
overboardonluxury items or aes-
thetic features.
Residents may stay up to 18
months in FEMA trailers as they
rebuild their homes or seek alter-
nate housing, though that win-
dow is sometimes extended,
Schuback said.
Both parks are being built on
private property and the lan-
downers are not charging FEMA
to use the property.
We work out some agreement
with those owners, Schuback
said. And oftentimes the agree-
ment is the infrastructure that we
put in place for the temporary fa-
cilityis somethingthat theowner
would like to keep, so that when
we leave even though we will
pull the units out, we will leave
that infrastructure in place, and
that enables that property owner
to proceed with their plans; to go
ahead and build a housing subdi-
vision or something of that na-
ture.
In addition to the two new
sites, FEMAand the Army Corps
of Engineers are expandingspace
at three existing mobile home
parks: Mount Lookout in Exeter,
Country Terrace in Bloomsburg,
Columbia County, and Stony
Brook in Orangeville, Columbia
County. Expansion includes both
building additional pads and re-
moving abandoned, dilapidated
trailers to make space for FEMA-
issued mobile homes. FEMA is
also placing mobile homes in
eight other existing parks in Lu-
zerne County and two in Wyom-
ing County.

While only a small percentage of
checks mailed out by the IRS are return-
ed as undelivered, taxpayers can put an
end to lost, stolen or undelivered checks
by choosing direct deposit when they
file either paper or electronic returns,
the IRS said.
Taxpayers canreceive refunds directly
into their bank account, split a tax re-
fund into two or three financial accounts
or even buy a savings bond.
The IRS also recommends taxpayers
file their returns electronically, because
e-file eliminates the risk of lost paper re-
turns. Nearly eight out of 10 taxpayers
chose e-file last year.
The public should be aware the IRS
does not contact taxpayers by email to
alert them of pending refunds and does
not ask for personal or financial informa-
tion through email. Such messages are
common phishing scams.
The best way for an individual to ver-

Penn State is like the cost-
conscious consumer who pur-
chases a new VW Beetle in
1966 for $2,000 and, being
handy with tools, somehow
keeps it running for 46 years.
But that old, dependable ride
cant carry its driver any fur-
ther, so now he has to go to the
showroom and price newer
models.
Make no mistake, as the Nit-
tany Lions begin the process
of replacing Joe Paterno, they
are about to get a serious case
of sticker shock. The cost of
head coaches, like that of the
kind of luxury vehicles needed
to keep pace in a Football
Bowl Subdivision world,
where performance is expect-
ed to be accompanied by pres-
tige, has gone way, way up.
And if Penn State wants to re-
main in the fast-lane Big Ten
race, it had better be prepared
to pony up.
It might be a coaches mar-
ket this year, as Penn State is
one of a dozen schools looking
for a head coach. Vacancies ex-

State, Illinois, Kansas, Ole
Miss, UCLA and Washington
State.

State will conduct a wide-open
search for a new football coach
and focus on candidates with
characteristics including hon-
esty and integrity, the schools
new president said.
The Nittany Lions need a
new leader after Hall of Famer
Joe Paterno was fired in his
46th season after child sex
abuse charges were filed
against former defensive coor-
dinator Jerry Sandusky.
As we go out to search for a
head football coach, one of the
first and foremost criteria is
how that person would fit into
the value system of Penn State,
which clearly has to be honesty,
integrity and commitment to
excellence in academics, presi-
dent Rod Erickson said Thurs-
day in an interview with The
Associated Press.
Erickson had said Wednes-
day night after a campus town
hall forum that he hoped to
have a new coach in place by
the time No. 23 Penn State
(9-3) plays its bowl game. The
postseason destination should
be announced this weekend.
Erickson cited the schools
success in graduating athletes,
an achievement championed by
Paterno, who has a library
named after him on campus.
But the scandal also tar-
nished the reputation of a foot-
ball program that once proudly
boasted the slogan Success
with Honor.

Chris Paul and Carmelo An-
thony returned to work Thurs-
day and immediately were
asked about working together.
Dallas Mavericks players took
the floor without knowing if
starting center Tyson Chandler
would ever join them, and the
Miami Heat teamthey beat inthe
NBA finals arrived to some bad
injury news.
Finally, NBA players are back.
Owners opened the doors of
their facilities to players for the
first time since locking them out
July 1. Exactly one month after
the regular season was originally
scheduled to begin, players could
workout but their coachingstaffs
couldnt be present because there
isnt a new labor deal yet.
Ive got to be the happiest per-
son in the world right nowjust to
be back in the gym, getting a
chance to work out with a couple
of my teammates, Paul said in
New Orleans. Im just happy to
be back and be back on the court,
as Im sure all the players are.
League officials hope to open
training camps next Friday, and
that stayed on track Thursday
when more than 300 players sub-
mitted signatures authorizing
the re-formation of the players
association. That paves the way
for negotiations to continue on
the remaining issues, and both
sides hope the deal is ratified
sometime next week.
The league planned to return
player content, images and vid-
eos to NBA.com and its other
media byFridaymorningafter re-
moving it when the lockout be-
gan. With the lengthy labor fight
all but over, a sense of excitement
has returned.
Yeah, it was, Milwaukee gen-
eral manager John Hammond
said. Since it was announced
that the potential deal was immi-
nent, it occurred immediately. I
think immediately, you could
kindof feel that inyour gut: Here
we go, were getting ready to get
started again. I think as each
step progresses, that will contin-
ue.
In the meantime, the big news
remained the focus on the head-
liners of the 2012 free agent class,
which also includes Dwight Ho-
ward.
The agent for Deron Williams
told The Record of Bergen, N.J.
that his client would opt for free
agency instead of a contract ex-
tension with the Nets, and Yahoo
Sports reported that Pauls agent
informed the Hornets that he
wanted a trade to the Knicks.

enforcement official familiar
with the case.
Three men, including two for-
mer Syracuse ballboys, have ac-

The official confirmed the
search at the Carmelo K. Antho-

Wednesday. The official, who
spoke to The AssociatedPress on

agents sought or what they reco-

The coaches lockers are onthe
second floor of the facility; play-

Court documents show the
third search warrant was issued
Tuesday and signed by U.S. Ma-

David Hawthorne returned
VinceYoungs thirdinterception
77 yards for a clinching score
with 4:24 remaining as the Seat-
tle Seahawks beat the Philadel-
phia Eagles 31-14 on Thursday
night.
Lynch, Seattles hard-charg-
ing running back, bulled
through Philadelphia for the
second-best running day of his
career. He carried 22 times and
had touchdown runs of 15 and
40 yards.
Golden Tate added an 11-yard
TD reception, but the Sea-
hawks third win in the last four
games wasnt secured until
Hawthorne stepped in front of
Youngs pass intended for Le-
Sean McCoy and raced untou-
ched into the end zone.
Young finished with a career-
high four interceptions. McCoy
had a 1-yard touchdown run in
the first half and caught a 2-yard
shovel pass from Young that
pulled the Eagles (4-8) within
10.
Both teams entered 4-7 and
mathematicallystill alive for the
playoffs in the NFC. Realistical-
ly, they are at the point of hold-
ing auditions for next season as
each would likely need to win
out to have a chance at the post-

USC
Barkley mulls decision
LOS ANGELES Matt Barkley is
checking out his draft status by filing
for an evaluation from the NFLs draft
advisory board.
That doesnt mean the Southern
California quarterback has decided
what hell do next year.
Barkley is reflecting on his remarka-
ble junior season with the No. 9 Tro-
jans, who won seven of their last eight
games to finish off their NCAA postsea-
son ban in style.
Barkleys quantum leap forward
was the biggest reason for USCs
surge. He threw a conference-record
39 touchdown passes, broke USCs
single-season record for completion
percentage and finished strong with
23 TD passes and just two intercep-
tions in USCs final six games.
Draft-eligible juniors who are
considering the NFL jump usually
file for an evaluation from the draft
advisory board. Barkley says hell begin
his decision process next week.
MAC CHAMPIONSHIP
N. Illinois takes on Ohio
DETROIT A year after losing the
Mid-American Conference champion-
ship game in the final minute, North-
ern Illinois is back for another try.
The Huskies (9-3, 7-1 MAC) take on
Ohio (9-3, 6-2) on Friday night at Ford
Field. Northern Illinois faced Miami of
Ohio last season in this game and lost
26-21 on a touchdown with 33 seconds
remaining.
This year, the Huskies edged Toledo
for the right to represent the MAC
West in the title game, beating the
Rockets 63-60 in a Nov. 1 thriller.
Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler
Harnish has thrown for 23 touchdowns
and four interceptions this season.
Ohios Tyler Tettleton has thrown for
26 touchdowns and seven intercep-
tions.
ARIZONA
Rodriguezs pact approved
TUCSON, Ariz. The state Board
of Regents has approved a five-year
contract for new Arizona football coach
Rich Rodriguez.
The move Thursday came nine days
after Rodriguez agreed to the param-
eters of the deal with Athletic Director
Greg Byrne.
Rodriguezs five-year deal starts at
$1.45 million per year in base pay and
ends at $1.8 million with annual in-
centives for academic and athletic
performance, attendance spikes and
coach of the year awards. He will re-
ceive $300,000 per year from Nike.
The Arizona Daily Star says Rodri-
guez could owe the university up to
$100,000 if he violates NCAA or Pac-12
rules.
BAYLOR
Ganaway rushing toward
another school record
WACO, Texas Terrance Ganaway
is setting records while running in the
shadows of a Heisman Trophy hopeful.
If the 6-foot, 240-pound senior run-
ning back with surprising speed wasnt
in the same backfield with Robert
Griffin III, people outside of Baylor
might actually know who is.
Ganaway says thats just OK with
him. Plus, he says he and Griffin are
both team players and that the re-
cord-setting quarterback should have
all the hype.
Ganaway has a Big 12-leading 1,195
yards rushing for the 19th-ranked Bears
(8-3, 5-3 Big 12). He needs only 24
yards in the regular season finale Sat-
urday at home against Texas to set a
new single-season school record. His 14
rushing touchdowns are already a
school record.
Griffin calls Ganaway the most im-
portant piece to the offense.
WASHINGTON STATE
Cougars are preparing
to shed underdog label
SPOKANE, Wash. In spending an
unprecedented $2.25 million to hire
Mike Leach, Washington State is send-
ing a message to its Pac-12 rivals: You
wont have the Cougars to kick around
much longer.
Washington State is using money to
be generated by the leagues new televi-
sion package to hire the big-name
coach, improve its stadium and try to
shed nearly a decade of football irrele-
vance. Each Pac-12 member will even-
tually be receiving nearly $20 million
per year because of the TV deal.
Washington State is in the smallest
market in the league. It has the small-
est football stadium, the lowest average
attendance, smallest athletic budget,
and hasnt had a winning football re-
cord since 2003.
I N B R I E F
The Pac-12 Conferences first cham-
pionship game caps aneventful week
in the league so eventful that the
game itself between No. 8 Oregon
andUCLAseems abit anticlimactic.
The Ducks are so heavily favored
that the attention Friday night
may not be onAutzenStadiums
field, but on the sidelines, where
RickNeuheisel will overseehis fi-
nal game as the Bruins head
coach.
Neuheisel was fired following
last weekends 50-0 loss to No. 9
Southern California. It was part of a
wave of coaching moves in the con-
ference. Around the time Neuheisels
dismissal was announced, Arizona
State let go of Dennis Erickson.
Then Washington State parted
ways with Paul Wulff, and the Cougars
quickly hired former Texas Tech coach
Mike Leach a day later.
Neuheisel said he doesnt want the
Bruins appearance in the title game to
turn into a Win One For Rick crusade.
That sounds like a bad B movie. It
need not be about me. Its always been
about us, he said. Its always been
about the mission and the passion that a
team, if youre really engaged with a
team, canbringabout. Imjust excitedto
be on the teamfor one more try.
For their last practicebeforedeparting
for Eugene, theBruins carriedNeuheisel
off Spaulding Field. Then the coach
teared up while speaking to reporters.
Its meaningful whenyouworktocre-
ate relationships, and you want desper-
atelyfor themtoachievewhat theyreca-
pable of, he said. Despite the fact that
wedidnt winenoughgames, I thinkthey
are achieving as people. Im extremely
proud to be a part of this team, and look-
ing forward to hopefully a grand
finish.
The reality is that UCLA (6-6, 5-4)
faces a major challenge in the Ducks
(10-2, 8-1).
I believe our plan is a good one. Now
the devil will be in the details, making
sure we do all the little things right, be-
causethats what its goingtotaketobeat
a team as accomplished as Oregon,
Neuheisel said. I know theres no such
thing as a perfect game, but were going
to have to get darn close, and thats an
exciting challenge, especially given the
stakes.
The Ducks are playing for their third
straight conference championship and a
spot in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2. Oregon
appeared to be in the running for a shot
at a spot in the BCS championship game
for the second straight season, but the
Ducks also fell victim to USC with a 38-
35 loss at Autzen on Nov. 19.
The Ducks were trying hard this week
not tooverlookthe Bruins onthe roadto
Pasadena.

STILLWATER, Okla. On his left
wrist, Jamie Blatnick wears a reminder
of just how close Oklahoma State came
to finally breaking through against rival
Oklahoma.
Inscribed in orange on a wide, black
wristband are a series of numbers that
refer to what he and his teammates view
as a missed opportu-
nity. With 2:51left in
last years game, the
Cowboys trailed 40-
38 when Oklahoma
got the ball back.
Instead of getting
a stop, Oklahoma
State gave up Lan-
dry Jones 76-yard
touchdown pass to
James Hanna that put the game away.
That close, man, Blatnick said.
For a program thats been over-
matched by Oklahoma in most of their
105 meetings, close doesnt cut it any-
more for No. 3 Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1
Big 12).
The13th-rankedSooners (9-2, 6-2) are
the last ones standing between the Cow-
boys and their first-ever BCS bowl berth
and first Big 12 championship. The
school hasnt won an outright confer-
ence title since 1948, when it only need-
ed wins against Wichita State and Tulsa
to win the Missouri Valley title.
With a convincing win, Oklahoma
State might even be able to wiggle its
way into the national championship
game.
Its not like big OUs coming to town
and theyre way better, Blatnick said. I
thinkwehavethebetter teamandI think
were going to prepare extremely hard
for them and I think that this games go-
ing to be a great game.
Blatnick has worn the special wrist-
band, which says DEFENSE WINS
CHAMPIONSHIPS on the other side,
since safety Markelle Martin got them
for the team. He had been wearing it on
the same wrist as one that reads One
Heart One Family in memory of line-
backers coach Glenn Spencers wife,
who died during the season.
In the run-up to Saturday nights Bed-
lamgame, he switched it to the opposite
side to serve as a more frequent remind-
er of what happened last season.
That was just a rough game for us.
Being so close and not getting it, it just
hurts, Blatnicksaid. It just leaves a bad
taste in your mouth and its been there
all year long. Im just excited for this.
This is my last one, and weve got to get
them. Absolutely have to.
The Cowboys will be the higher-
ranked team in the rivalry for the third
straight year, but thelast twohaveended
in disappointment. Oklahoma ended
11th-ranked OSUs bid for an at-large
BCS berth two years ago with a 27-0
shutout in Norman.
Last year, the Sooners won 47-41 in
Stillwater to earn a share of the Big 12
South title. By virtue of a tiebreaker, Ok-
lahoma went tothe Big12championship
game and won it instead of the
Cowboys.

MADISON, Wis. Wisconsins
Montee Ball was named the Big Tens
offensive player of the year just this
week.
With another big performance
against Michigan State at Saturdays
inaugural Big Ten championship game
in Indianapolis, the Badgers running
back could very well become a Heis-
man Trophy finalist.
Such things are bound to happen
when a player piles up more touch-
downs than29teams intheNCAAs top
division have scored all season.
Ball isnt shying away fromthe atten-
tion.
Youve got to embrace it, Ball said.
Youve got to embrace it because its
something you can never take for
granted. It couldbe the last teamI play,
it could be the last camera I talk to.
Youve just got to embrace it.
Going into Saturdays game, Ball has
scored 34 touchdowns this season.
Thats a Big Ten single-season record,
and only five shy of the NCAA single-
season record 39 touchdowns Barry
Sanders scored for Oklahoma State in
1988.
Between Ball and quarterback Rus-
sell Wilson, the Badgers believe they
have two candidates worthy of Heis-
man consideration.
Those are both really, really good
players who have the numbers to back
it up, Badgers coach Bret Bielema
said. I think in the world of college
football, a lot of it is predetermined by
hype. Obviously, nobody knew a lot
about Russell before this year on the
big stage. I mean, we all knewhe was a
good player, and, Montee, kind of the
same boat. He had really productive
numbers last year, but JohnClay got in-
vited to the Doak Walker over him. So
it is what it is.
Of course, those awards wont mean
as much if Wisconsin falls again to Mi-
chigan State.
Wisconsins shocking last-second
loss on a deflected Hail Mary pass at
MichiganState onOct. 22, alongwitha
surprisingly similar loss at Ohio State
the following week, knocked the Badg-
ers out of the national championship
picture.
After losing to Michigan State, it
stung a little bit, and after losing to
Ohio State, we thought all of our hopes
anddreams were out the window, Ball
said. But thats why Coach B is such a
great coach. He kept us focused and
prettysoonwewerebackinthedrivers
seat again.
Ball acknowledged that Michigan
State deserved to win that game,
rather than dismissing it as a fluke.
We did it to ourselves, Ball said.
We had mistakes in that game. We
were doing stuff that we just dont do.

CLEMSON, S.C. Clemson de-

groups dominant showing the last
time it faced Virginia Tech wont have
much bearing on Saturday nights At-
lantic Coast Conference title game.
He better hope hes wrong.
The 21st-ranked Tigers (9-3) have
rarely looked better this season on de-
fense than they did that chilly October
night in Blacksburg, Va., two months
ago in a 23-3 victory over the Hokies.

Charlotte, N.C. The Hokies are trying
for their fifth ACCcrown in eight years
while the Tigers, back as Atlantic Divi-
sionwinners for the secondtime infive
years, look for their first league cham-
pionship since 1991.
To get it, Clemsons defense must
look more like it did back on Oct. 1 at
Lane Stadium than how its been the
second half of the season.
Clemson held Virginia Tech to a sea-
son-low258 yards andwithout a touch-
down at home for the first time since
1995. That win gained national head-
lines and was part of the Tigers 8-0 run
into the top 10.
In the last six games, though, Clem-
sons defense has given up more than
410yards and35points a game. Andits
no surprise that the Tigers have gone
3-3 during that stretch and enter the
ACC championship losing its last two
in blowout fashion to North Carolina
State37-13andrival SouthCarolina 34-
13.
Its basically, do your job, Steele
said of his units breakdowns. Its
something that we work on and its
simple.
Yet apparently hard to grasp at times
for Clemsons defenders. Gamecocks
quarterback Connor Shaw threw for
210 yards and ran for 107 in his seventh
career start.
The Tigers are 63rd nationally in
yards allowed and 92nd in the country
against the run with more than 186
yards per game.
Next up comes the leagues top rush-
er andACCplayer of the year inHokies
tailback David Wilson. He was about
the only one on offense who didnt
struggle that first game with Clemson,
gaining 123 yards on 20 carries.

Man pleads guilty to assault
on Chicago wide receiver
A
suburban Chicago man has plead-
ed guilty to misdemeanor battery
for assaulting Chicago Bears wide
receiver Devin Hester while he was
visiting a Des Plaines casino.
Daniel Rago of Mount Prospect was
arrested after police said he slapped
Hester in the back of the head on Oct.
14 while the football player was stand-
ing in line at Rivers Casino.
Hester didnt retaliate.
Cook County Assistant States At-
torney Kimberly Przekota called the
incident both insulting and unpro-
voked. Ragos lawyer, Frank Kostou-
ros, called it a complete misunder-
standing, saying Rago thought Hester
was cutting in line in front of an elderly
couple.
Rago was sentenced Thursday to one
year of conditional discharge, and 80
hours of community service. He was
also ordered to pay $315 in court fees
and fines.
PANTHERS
Smith nears milestone
Carolinas Steve Smith looks to join a
list of receiving legends on Sunday by
becoming only the 35th player in NFL
history to reach 10,000 career yards
receiving.
He needs 56 yards to reach that
mark.
Its a milestone not lost on the 32-
year-old Smith.
Smith says reaching the milestone
probably means more to me that it
probably should, adding that its a
moment where time stops and you get
to be selfish.
The veteran says no matter how
many negative things have been writ-
ten about him, the power of public
opinion doesnt win on this one. Smith
says this is a stat that hes earned with
the help of a lot of other people and it
cant be taken away.
Carolina (3-8) plays at Tampa Bay
(4-7) on Sunday.
CARDINALS
Kolb expects to start
Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb says
his injured right foot was sore but he
was able to practice again on Thursday
and still expects to start against Dallas
on Sunday.
It would be Kolbs first action since
he was injured Oct. 30 in Arizonas
30-27 loss at Baltimore. The Cardinals
are 3-1 in Kolbs absence, but his re-
placement, John Skelton, has struggled
in his last two games, throwing five
interceptions and no touchdowns.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt says that
while Kolb got the vast majority of the
first-team reps in practice on Thursday,
some went to Skelton to keep him
prepared either to start or take over if
Kolb is knocked out of the game.
LIONS
Suhs appeal heard by Shell
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nda-
mukong Suh has had his appeal heard
of a two-game suspension for stomping
on an opponent.
Art Shell, jointly appointed by the
league and the players association to
hear such cases, has conducted a con-
ference call Thursday, but set no time-
table for making a decision.
The 2010 Defensive Rookie of the
Year was penalized and ejected from a
Thanksgiving Day loss to Green Bay
for stomping on the arm of Packers
guard Evan Dietrich-Smith. On Tues-
day, the league handed down the two-
game suspension and Suh immediately
appealed.
The Lions are playing Sunday in
New Orleans and the league expedited
Suhs hearing so the team could know
about his availability for that game.
Shells decision could come Friday.
JETS
Tomlinson feeling fresh
LaDainian Tomlinson says he feels
fresh coming off a knee injury that
sidelined him the past two games and
is open for a bigger workload as the
New York Jets make a playoff push.
The running back returned to prac-
tice this week after spraining the
medial collateral ligament in his left
knee against New England on Nov. 13.
The sixth-leading rusher in NFL histo-
ry says Thursday that normally he feels
sore at this point in the season, but a
reduced role and being sidelined a few
weeks might help him be even more
effective down the stretch. The Jets
play at Washington on Sunday. Tom-
linson jokes that Marty Schottenheim-
er, his former coach in San Diego,
recently told him: Im sorry, kid. I just
wore you out when you were young.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. A
miffed Perry Fewell accused some
members of the New York Giants de-
fense of quitting in the blowout loss to
the New Orleans Saints and he vowed
that will not happen again.
The Giants defensive coordinator
could not explain why the Giants (6-5)
played so poorly in the 49-24 thrashing
that knocked New York out of first
place in the NFC East and left many
wondering whether the team was
ready for a third straight second-half of
the season collapse.
It was so disappointing from my
perspective that as I watched it on
Monday and watched it the next day, it
was one of those games that you want
to bury, Fewell said Thursday after
practice. The energy level, what we
did, it baffled me, OK. It baffled me.
Youre supposed to have answers, but
sometimes you cant explain a game
like that.
The numbers were sickening, espe-
cially for a defensive coordinator.
The Saints gained 577 yards in total
offense, the second highest total an op-
ponent has mustered in a single game
in the Giants 87-year history
Fewell gave credit to Drew Brees and
the Saints offense. It was fresh coming
off a bye week and Brees made quick,
accurate throws that the Giants simply
could not cover.
However, Fewell wanted more from
his unit.
We have to play with more passion,
said Fewell, who is in his second sea-
son as the Giants defensive coordina-
tor. That was a game against a playoff
football team. We have aspirations of
being a playoff team and sometimes its
the will, the will to get it done. We
didnt will ourselves to get it done.
Thats what I can explain. Why we
didnt will ourselves to get it done.
Fewell said he let the defense know
just how he felt this week and he
seemed certain it would show up Sun-
day for what is now a crucial game
against the undefeated Green Bay
Packers (11-0).
Speaking after practice Thursday, he
virtually guaranteed that the defense,
which has had only three sacks in the
last three games, would put pressure
on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Were going to get to the quarter-
back period, OK., Fewell said. Were
going to get it done.
When asked how the Giants were go-
ing to do that with two-time Pro Bowl
defensive end Osi Umenyiora nursing
an ankle injury the team wont dis-
close which ankle and fellow Pro
Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck having
a sub-par, injury-plague season, a wry
smile crossed Fewells face.
I am going to coach better, he said,
and they are going to play better,
thats it.
The one thing that Fewell knows
wont happen again is that this team
wont quit. Late in the game, corner-
back Corey Webster seemed to stop in
his tracks when it became obvious that
Pierre Thomas was going to score on a
12-yard, fourth-quarter run with the
Saints already ahead 35-17.
Fewells blood pressure seemed to
spike when asked about pulling up
late in the game.
That was disheartening, no doubt,
Fewell said. Me being the coach and
the leader of the defense, that was dis-
heartening, and when I say it was dis-
heartening, it was disappointing more
so than disheartening because we dont
coach that.
Coordinator irked by defenses effort
Giants assistant Fewell vows there
will be a better performance
against undefeated Green Bay.

NEW YORK Criticizing the NFL
Players Associationfor blockingtests for
human growth hormone, the head of the
World Anti-Doping Agency said Thurs-
day the unions objections are not about
science and have no substance.
Speaking to reporters at an anti-dop-
ing conference hosted at NFL headquar-
ters, WADAdirector general DavidHow-
man added that the NFLPAs stance
couldleadonetobelievethat HGHuseis
a problemin pro football.
The players are making a very good
go of trying to say it is a problem by not
agreeing to be tested. I would have
thought if there wasnt a problem, they
would say, Hey, test us, Howman said.
If youve got nothing to hide, open up.
The newlabor contract that endedthe
NFL lockout in August included a provi-
sion for HGHtesting as soon as this sea-
son but only once the NFLPA ap-
proved the process. That hasnt hap-
pened, inpart because the NFLPAsays it
needs moreinformationabout thetest it-
self.
TheNFLitself areapproachingthisin
a pretty responsible fashion, and its a bit
disappointingwhenyouaredoingthings
to support the clean player that the play-
ers themselves arenot inthesamesort of
mood, Howman said.
Earlier, during his keynote speech at
The Doping Decision: Deterring Dop-
ing in Sport, a conference organized by
the Partnership for Clean Competition,
Howman gave kudos to Major League
Baseball and its players for recently
agreeing to start HGH testing in spring
training and took a jab at the NFLPA,
sayingof that unions hesitancy onthe is-
sue: Its not about science; its about
something else, and that is frustrating.
Howman gave baseball a pass for not
yet adding HGH to its list of substances
being checked in the regular season.
Theyre doing a step which is pretty
significant. ... So I dont have a problem
withthemdoingit astepat atime, How-
man said. Lets wait for the second
step.
Told of Howmans comments about
football, NFLPA spokesman George
Atallah said in a telephone interview:
Theonlyinstitutionthatslackingtrans-
parency in this situation is WADA. The
test is not peer-reviewed by scientists
other than WADA scientists. They dont
reveal information about the population
studies which is the foundation for their
test, and they refuse to allow a fair ap-
peals process as part of their program.
Anti-doping experts have said further
population studies arent needed be-
cause those used to validate the test in-
cluded dozens of athletes who have a
football players body type, including
players in Canada. Many of those same
experts have, however, always said that
an independent appeals process is criti-
cal to running a fair doping program.
Our ability to begin HGH testing is
not going to be determined by any artifi-
cial deadline. Its going tobe determined
bythevalidityandfairnessandreliability
of thetest andthetestingprotocol, Atal-
lah said.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Darrelle
Revis is not invincible after all.
Not against receivers catching pas-
ses against him. And, certainly not
against critics.
It was so rare to see Buffalos Stevie
Johnsonbeat theNewYorkJets corner-
back for catch after catch last Sunday
that some were left wondering: Whats
wrong with Revis?
Well, absolutely nothing.
The standards are so high because
of howjust ridiculously consistent hes
been and how well hes played, defen-
sive coordinator Mike Pettine said. So
when he does give up a couple of com-
pletions, youre like, Wow, this guy is
human. Its hard to play a perfect sea-
son.
However, with Revis, generally re-
garded as the NFLs best cornerback,
perfection is expected.
Thats not to say he doesnt ever give
up a reception, of course. But when
Johnson was beating him on slant
routes over and over again for eight
catches and 75 yards, it was hard not to
notice. Johnson also caught the only
touchdown pass Revis has allowed this
season.
It was by no means Revis best per-
formance, but was it really a bad game
for Revis?
Thats false, safety Brodney Pool
said. Going into the game, we knewas
a team that they like to chip away and
we didnt want to give up the big play. I
think we did a good job of that. He
caught what we gave him. Its not like
Reeve had a bad game. He still played
well.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said Revis was
playing mostly in Cover Zero against
Johnson, meaning the cornerback was
inmostlyman-to-manwithout anysafe-
ty help to make up for any mistakes.
He gave up 75 yards, Ryan said.
And thats if every one of the comple-
tions wereagainst himinzerocoverage
the whole game. Ill sign up for that
eachweek. Thats a great performance.
Youre inzero coverage andyougive up
75 yards? Thats a pretty good perform-
ance.
Pettineaddedthat someof thecover-
ages the Jets were in really put Dar-
relle in a bind.
We were daring them to throw to
that side and they did, Pettine said.
They made some plays. Some of the
slants that were called were in down
and distances where we were more
than willing to give those up. Again,
you just get to that comfort level with
Darrelle where hes giving up some
throws andyourealize that its going to
happenfromtime totime. But still, you
just look at his body of work, its not
even close.
Hes the best corner in football.
Pool added that outsiders focus too
much on statistics, numbers that dont
tell the whole story.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Donovan
McNabb is available again.
The Minnesota Vikings waived the
13-year veteran quarterback on Thurs-
day, giving himthe opportunity to sign
with another team for the stretch run
in a parting coach Leslie Frazier de-
scribed as mutual.
Frazier pushed for the Vikings to
trade a sixth-round draft pick this sum-
mer to the Washington Redskins in ex-
change for McNabb. He wanted stabil-
ity he believed McNabb would bring to
the offense after the NFL lockout kept
rookie Christian Ponder from practic-
ing with the team or working with his
coaches until training camp.
Frazier and McNabb met in 1999,
when the defensive backs coach and
the first-round draft pick spent their
first year with the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Friendly to the end,
Frazier wished
McNabb well and
said part of the rea-
son for the move was
for the players sake.
This was the best
decision for both parties, Frazier said.
He was a great player and has been a
great player for our league for a long,
long time. Have a lot of affection and
love for Donovan.
McNabb went 1-5 as a starter, threw
for only four touchdowns and complet-
ed just five passes of 25-plus yards. Fra-
zier said he didnt regret the trade giv-
enthesituationtheVikings wereinthis
summer, and said he believes McNabb
can still play in the NFL but stopped
short of saying he can be an effective
starter.
Im not certain about that. ... A lot
depends on the team he goes to, if he
goes to another team, Frazier said.
McNabb was benched in favor of
Ponder in the fourth quarter of Minne-
sotas game at Chicago on Oct. 16 and
hasnt played since. Frazier said he was
a help to Ponder and Joe Webb in their
learning process and described as
awesome his attitude over the last
few weeks.
Hes been a true pro in every sense
of the word, Frazier said. Hes a class
guy. Always has been, and hes done a
good job in spite of the fact he wasnt
our starting quarterback.
Improving the teacher-student ratio
at the games most complex position is
what Frazier pointed to when asked
how the move benefited the Vikings.

ATLANTA Dara Torres
climbed to the second step
on the podium.
Its been a while.
With her surgically re-
paired left knee aching a bit,
Torres was second in the 50-
meter freestyle Thursday
night at the U.S. Winter Na-
tionals, her highest finish
since the Beijing Olympics.
Ill take that, she said,
holding young daughter Tes-
sa.
The 44-year-old Torres,
who won three silver medals
in Beijing, is coming back
froma radical operationwith
hopes of making one more
trip to the Olympics. While
her strength and condition-
ing isnt quite where it needs
to be, she took second to Jes-
sica Hardy, who won with a
time of 25.08 seconds.
Torres was next at 25.24.
Im just glad Ive got sev-
en more months of training
until the Olympic trials, she
said. To be competitive, I
needtoget a little faster, a lit-
tle stronger.
Still, this was a good step
especially since Torres
tweaked her knee last week-
end while working on starts.

WASHINGTON Chris
Kunitz scored the tiebreaking
goal at 2:36 of the third period,
and the Pittsburgh Penguins
beat Washington 2-1 Thursday
night to keep the Capitals win-
less under new coach Dale Hun-
ter.
Craig Adams also scored for
the Penguins, who improved to
4-1-1 since captain Sidney Cros-
by returned to the lineup follow-
ing an 11-month absence with a
concussion.
Jason Chimera got his team-
leading 10th goal for the Cap-
itals, who were 11-0-2 against
their bitter rivals in the regular
season since March 8, 2009.
Tomas Vokoun stopped 33
shots, but the Capitals couldnt
back his effort with any firepow-
er on the other end of the ice.
The Capitals took only 17 shots
against Marc-Andre Fleury in
their second straight 2-1 loss
since Hunter, a former Capitals
star, replaced the fired Bruce
Boudreau on Monday.
Crosby was held without a
point for only the second time in
six games since his return. He
received his concussion by tak-
ing two blows to the head last
January, the first of which came
against the Capitals on New
Years Day in the Winter Classic.
Since coming back, the standout
center has two goals and nine
assists.
Crosbys lengthy absence,
along with the ineffectiveness
this season of Washingtons Alex
Ovechkin, has dimmed one of
the NHLs most notable individ-
ual duels. Ovechkin was also
held without a point, and he has
only one goal in his last 10
games.
Kunitz got the game-winner
by skating around a check by
John Erskine and firing a wrist
shot that bounced off Vokoun
and bounded into the net.
Washington has lost four
straight and seven of nine.
The Penguins took a 1-0 lead
at 5:21 of the first period when
Arron Asham gained control of
the puck behind the net, skated
out and sent a pass across the
slot to Adams, who scored from
the left side.
Six seconds later, Asham and
Erskine dropped their gloves
and got into an old-fashioned
hockey fight. Both landed sever-
al good blows before tumbling
to the ice.
The Penguins outshot the
Capitals 13-4 in the opening 20
minutes. Crosby had two shots,
and 11 of his teammates had one
apiece.
Washington pulled even at
1:20 of the second period when
Chimera lifted an up-close back-
hander over Fleurys left shoul-
der.
Rangers 5, Hurricanes 3
RALEIGH, N.C. Ryan
McDonagh, Marian Gaborik and
Sean Avery scored in a 4:53 span
of the second period and the
New York Rangers rallied to
beat the Carolina Hurricanes for
their fourth straight win.
Ryan Callahan and Michael
Sauer had the other goals for
the Rangers, who got points
from14 players and earned their
11th win in 13 games. Martin
Biron made 28 saves as he made
a spot start for No. 1 goalie
Henrik Lundqvist.
New York remained three
points behind Eastern Confer-
ence-leading Pittsburgh, but the
Rangers have played four fewer
games than the Penguins.
Derek Joslin, Jeff Skinner and
Jiri Tlutsy scored goals for Car-
olina, winless in two games
under new coach Kirk Muller.
Stars 3,
Senators 2
DALLAS Eric Nystrom
scored the tiebreaking goal with
2:20 left and the Dallas Stars
rallied for a victory over the
Ottawa Senators.
Nystrom took possession of
the puck behind the Ottawa net,
drifted to the left circle and fired
a shot past goalie Craig An-
derson for his ninth goal of the
season, one short of matching
his career high.
Milan Michalek had given the
Senators a 2-1 advantage at 11:42
of the final period.
Daniel Alfredsson took a shot
from the right point that re-
bounded off goalie Andrew
Raycroft to the left circle. Mi-
chalek beat two Stars to the
puck and then beat Raycroft
with a shot for his team-high
15th goal.
Radek Dvorak and Steve Ott
also scored for Dallas, and Ray-
croft made 33 saves.
Erik Condra had Ottawas
other goal.
Jets 1, Coyotes 0
WINNIPEG, Manitoba
Ondrej Pavelec made 33 saves in
his second shutout of the season
and Bryan Littles first-period
goal held up as the Jets beat
Phoenix in the Coyotes first
game back in Winnipeg since
leaving for the desert in 1996.
Little scored the games only
goal off a rebound while Coyotes
goalie Mike Smith was out of
position.
Winnipeg (10-11-4), the former
Atlanta Thrashers who relocated
before this season, snapped a
two-game losing streak. After
the game, the crowd gave the
new Jets a standing ovation and
saluted them at center ice as the
players raised their sticks.
Smith faced 31 shots as Phoe-
nix (13-8-3) had a two-game
winning streak broken.

LAKELOUISE, Alberta
Kneeing herself in the face,
biting her own tongue, and
even falling on her fanny hasnt
stopped Lindsey Vonn at Lake
Louise.
The American star has won
more World Cup races at the
venue than anywhere else in
her decorated career. Shes won
eight races and stood on the
podium14 times.
Two years ago, Vonn crossed
the finish line with blood drib-
bling fromher mouth. Her knee
connected with her chin during
the race, yet Vonn still raced to
the first of her two downhill
victories that year.
Vonn executed an incredible
piece of skiing last year in a race
she didnt win. She went down
on her left hip entering a sec-
tion of the course named Fall
Away, but made an impressive
recovery on the slopes face and
actually made up time on the
bottomsection.
Vonn finished second in that
downhill to Germanys Maria
Riesch-Hoefl. It was Vonns
second runner-up result to the
German in two days, but Vonn
wasnt leaving Lake Louise
without a victory. She won the
super-Gon the final day.
While rivals such as Riesch-
Hoefl will challenge her this
year in Lake Louise, Vonns
record and the toughness shes
demonstrated at the mountain
resort give her an aura of in-
vincibility.
Shes stood atop the podium
at Lake Louise in at least one
race for seven straight years.
Ive always had a good feel-
ing here, Vonn said Thursday.
I just feel like I dont even need
to inspect. I knowthe hill so
well.
I knowwhat I have to do if I
want to get a good result here
so its just a matter of executing.
I still have a lot of confidence
fromwhat Ive been able to do
here in the past. That always
helps me every year to believe
in myself.
The 27-year-old fromBurns-
ville, Minn., was second to
Switzerlands Dominique Gisin
in the final training run for the
first of two downhills starting
Friday.
Switzerlands Marianne Kauf-
mann-Aberhalden was third.
It remains to be seen if Vonns
personal life intrudes on her
skiing both at Lake Louise and
during the season.

mediately have success, and
compensation hefty enough to
ensure the job will be worth
their while as the cleanup
process is taking place.
Figure on Penn State being
on the hook for a minimum of
$2.5 million a year for its next
coach, and maybe even $3 mil-
lion-plus if it hopes to hit a
grand slam on the public-rela-
tions front instead of just a
bases-empty homer.
Of course, there are critics
who will claim that the image-
smearing Sandusky scandal is
the result of a football cul-
ture that needs to be signif-
icantly dialed back in Happy
Valley, lest the jocks in the hel-
mets and shoulder pads sub-
vert the educational mission of
the university. Paying millions
of dollars to a football coach,
any football coach, flies in the
face of the argument that foot-
ball should be just another as-
pect of campus life.
Any time you have uncer-
tainty in a football program
and youre being asked to take
it over, you have to take that
uncertainty into account,
Barnhart said. Penn State is
one of the great franchises in
the history of college football
and it has a great deal going for
it. Whoever Penn State hires is
going to have to balance the at-
tractiveness of the job and the
wide support from a great fan
base vs. the uncertainty of the
situation.
Football is the engine that
often drives alumni contribu-
tions, and football at Penn
State not only is a self-sustain-
ing enterprise, but one that is
profitable enough to fund an
overall athletic program en-
compassing 31 varsity sports.
Admissions applications invar-
iably tend to rise in correlation
to the on-field success of many
schools football teams.
Thats why Penn State
Joyner heads a seven-person
search committee charged
with the responsibility of iden-
tifying coaches who might be
the right fit needs to make a
boffo hire, and soon, to retain
the verbal commitments of
recruits who could look else-
where if they suspect their fu-
tures will be turned over to a
second-tier field leader. Its
even possible that a charismat-
ic coach with name recogni-
tion could reinvigorate a staid
program some already be-
lieved was regressing under
the leadership of an octogenar-
ian whose declining health was
such that he no longer went on
the road to sweet-talk top pro-
spects and their families.
For the first time since Lyn-
don B. Johnson occupied the
White House, Penn State has
to choose who will represent it
on those football Saturdays.
Its a decision university offi-
cials cant afford to get wrong.
Its also a decision they cant
afford to scrimp on.
$1 million. Those days are
over.
Paterno wasnt the only
Penn State coach to work on
the cheap, relatively speaking.
His nine assistants have
logged 159 years of combined
service because of devotion to
JoePa and to Penn State, and
maybe in part because a dollar
stretches further in State Col-
lege than in a lot of other col-
lege towns. Bradley, the defen-
sive coordinator who became
interim coach Dec. 9, reported-
ly didnt even receive a minor
bump in salary when he was
temporarily promoted to finish
out the 2011 season in Pater-
nos stead.
If, as many suspect, the same
Board of Trustees that took
the bold step of firing Paterno
decides on a total houseclean-
ing of the football coaching
staff, its likely the trustees
will look to an outsider with
no ties to the old master and
the sequestered empire he cre-
ated. Given how long Paterno
ran the show, that would elim-
inate quite a few interested
parties and narrow the field to
those who have yet to become
teary-eyed when the student
section chants We are . . .
Penn State!
While it would obviously do
a lot of good for public percep-
tion, I have a hard time believ-
ing that they will go outside of
the family, Kent said. There
are too many vested interests
in the Penn State family that
would have a hard time with
that. However, if the right per-
son became available, this
might be the only time (given
surrounding circumstances)
where an outside hire would be
tolerable to the base.
At the end of the day, the
next hire is going to have a ve-
ry tough role balancing hon-
oring the past (the Paterno
legend) with the programs
need to break from that very
past. If it were me, Id want to
be the guy after the next guy
(like Meyer was at Florida ...
not Ron Zook).
Candidates without the
Penn State stamp will want to
be satisfied that they have a
chance to win, some guarantee
of job security if they dont im-
tys reputation.
Ohio State athletic director
Gene Smith said Meyer would
receive an annual base salary
of $4 million, plus another $2.4
million in retention pay-
ments spread over the life of
the contract. He can also qual-
ify for supplemental bonuses,
such as for winning conference
and national championships.
Such add-ons can run up to $1
million.
Meyers compensation could
approach $5 million per year if
he meets certain incentives,
putting him in the rarefied
company of Texas Mack
Brown ($5,192,500), Alaba-
mas Nick Saban ($4,683,333)
and Oklahomas Bob Stoops
($4,075,000). He immediately
becomes the Big Tens highest-
paid coach, his base salary
eclipsing the $3,785,000 paid
to Iowas Kirk Ferentz.
Agents for high-profile
coaches who are making, or
might make, themselves avail-
able for a fresh challenge cant
expect all their clients to now
enter the exclusive $4 million
club. But theyll demand, and
get, highly favorable arrange-
ments that only a few years ago
would have been considered
exorbitant. It is no longer un-
usual for a coach with an estab-
lished track record, or even
one who gets hot at the right
time, to command a salary in
excess of $2 million a year, and
sometimes $3 million.
Dr. Aubrey Kent, director of
Temples Sport Industry Re-
search Center, was asked what
impact Meyers salary would
have on the market value for
the next PSU coach.
Generally, I would think not
much, Kent said in an email
response. Unless Penn State
can find another multiple
championship winner and pro-
ven consistent winner who just
happens to be rested and avail-
able. Since Penn State has so
much in common with Ohio
State (size, conference, tradi-
tion), it will be used as a log-
ical comparison, but if I was
asked to predict I would see
their number likely falling in
the $2.5-3.5 million range, ob-
viously depending on who they
target.
Said Tony Barnhart, CBS
Sports analyst and host of
The Tony Barnhart Show on
CBS Sports Network: I dont
know what Penn State is think-
ing, but my experience is that
when somebody gets a big con-
tract like (Meyers), everybody
has to go higher to remain
competitive.
A spokesman for the Amer-
ican Football Coaches Associ-
ation said the organization had
no comment on Meyers con-
tract or what impact it might
have on salaries overall.
According to a USA Today
report on salaries, 58 of 120
FBS head coaches are making
at least $1 million a year, a fig-
ure that presumes seven-figure
salaries for coaches at that lev-
el or higher for private institu-
tions such as Notre Dame,
Southern California, Stanford,
Brigham Young and Vander-
bilt, which arent required to
reveal coaching salaries.
Interestingly, Paterno the
winningest Division I coach of
all time with 409 victories
ranked 11th among the 12 Big
Ten head coaches for the 2011
season with a salary of
$1,022,794. The only Big Ten
coach making less than JoePa
was Purdues Danny Hope, at
$925,000. Even Michigan de-
fensive coordinator Greg Mat-
tison, the highest-paid assist-
ant in the Big Ten, makes
$750,000. While Mattison
might be the exception, assist-
ant-coach salaries throughout
the Big Ten are on the rise as
well.
According to the USA Today
figures, the average salary
went from $1.4 million in 2006
to $2.125 million in 2011,
meaning Paterno was making
almost half of the average.
The nearly 85-year-old Pa-
terno, fired on Nov. 9 in the
wake of the Jerry Sandusky
child sexual abuse scandal,
never gave the impression that
money was the most important
thing in his life. So, for much
of his legendary career, he gave
Penn State a sizable hometown
discount. That wont be the
case as new university presi-
dent Rodney Erickson and act-
ing athletic director David M.
Joyner go about the important
business of selecting a new
coach to oversee a multimil-
lion-dollar football program
that for decades had been syn-
onymous with Paterno.
The quaint notion that Penn
State can cherry-pick Paternos
successor at rock-bottom rates
because well, its Penn State
is as far gone as the days
when Beaver Stadium had a
seating capacity of 48,000 and
had difficulty filling all of
those seats.
Reports indicate that Missis-
sippi State coach Dan Mullen
is the front-runner for the Penn
State job. Mullen signed a four-
year contract worth $10.6 mil-
lion, with a $1.4 million
buyout, after the 2010 season
and a reported flirtation
with the University of Miami.
A raise from his annual salary
of $2.65 million would seem
like a necessity, if he were to
move to Penn State.
Kent was asked if PSU would
have to overpay, given the mes-
sy situation the new coach
would inherit.
It depends, said Kent, who
co-authored a research paper,
Determinants of Coaching
Salaries in FBS Football, that
will be published early next
year in the Journal of Sport
Management. If they hire in-
ternally or within the fam-
ily it will cost them some-
what less.
Logic would dictate that
there would be a premium to
be paid for having to be the
person to come into a very
tough situation, however that
is from the outside looking in.
Within the football-coach-
ing community, Penn State is a
plum job and the fact that ex-
pectations might be a little
lower than usual might actual-
ly be beneficial. Most coaches
(who necessarily live in a rela-
tively isolated world) think Pa-
terno got a raw deal and wont
hesitate to take the job. Over-
all, while I dont think that
PSU will have to pay a premi-
um, they are crazy if they think
they can get anyone good for

The 61-year-old former Mets

a two-year deal with club op-
tions for 2014 and 2015. The
news conference was attended
by owner John Henry and his
wife, by Red Sox CEO Larry
Lucchino, by an entourage of
friends from Stamford, Conn.,
by dozens of team employees
and by about 100 members of
the media, many of them from
New York outlets that covered
Valentine in his days with the
Mets.
There is a buzz, Lucchino
said, acknowledging that Val-
entines personality andhis his-
toryinNewYorkcouldenhance
an already intense AL East ri-
valry withthe Yankees. I think
it does add a little bit of kero-

Valentine, who also guided
the Chiba Lotte Marines to a
2005 championship, greeted
one reporter inJapanese.
Bobbys a big personality,
Henry said. I think thats a

Valentine brings to Boston a
reputation as a polarizing fig-
ure who wasnt afraid to criti-
cize his players publicly
something former Red Sox
manager Terry Francona never
did and who bickered with
his boss at the Mets. But he
takes over a teamwitha bit of a
reputation problem of its own:
After going 7-20 in September
andmissingthe playoffs by one

Outside the Carrier Dome,
more than a dozen students

Huddling against the cold,

plan, a freshman from Ran-
dolph, N.J., called Boeheim

ball.
Earlier Thursday, Syracuse
Chancellor Nancy Cantor said
the school decided to fire Fine
upon hearing an audiotape re-
corded by Bobby Davis, one of
Fines three accusers. ESPN
broadcast the 2002 audiotape,
recorded by Davis, of a conver-
sation between Davis and a
woman ESPN identified as
Fines wife, Laurie, in which
she says she knew everything
that went on.
Cantors comments were ina
published response to a USA
Today editorial Thursday that
calls on Syracuse to release a
full accounting of what it did
and why Fine was kept on the
job.
Fine, who was denied the al-
legations, was fired Sunday.
Federal authorities are not
constrainedbyastatuteof limi-
tations shouldthey turnupevi-
dence Fine molested his latest
accuser, 23-year-old Zach To-
maselli of Lewiston, Maine. He
said he told police that Fine

burgh hotel roomafter a game.
He said Fine touched him
multiple times in that one in-
cident.
Under federal law in 2002,
prosecutions for the sexual or
physical abuse or kidnapping
of a child under 18 could con-
tinue until the victim turned
25. Subsequent amendments
changed that to the life of the
child or 10 years after the of-
fense, whichever is longer.
Tomaselli, who faces sexual
abuse charges in Maine, filed a
claim of sex abuse against his
father, Fred Tomaselli, in June
in New York. Lt. Glenn Miner,
a spokesman for the New York
State Police, confirmed the in-
vestigation was completed in
September and no charges
were brought against Fred To-
maselli.
Fred Tomaselli has said he
thinks his sonis lying about be-
ing abused by Fine.
As the investigation contin-
ues, advocates for sex abuse
victims have said Hall of Fame
coach Jim Boeheim should re-
sign or be fired for adamantly
defending Fine and verbally
disparaging the accusers.
University trustees have
been instructed to refer all
questions back to the universi-
ty but some contacted by The

port for Boeheim and said
there was no indication his job
was in danger.

wind was in the forecast, with
some projections of 60 mph
gusts.
But when the elite field ar-
rived at Sherwood, there was
not even a breeze. Woods and
Stricker birdied the opening two
holes with relative ease. Woods
added another birdie on No. 4
with a 25-foot putt, and then
came his 3-iron from 229 yards
to 18 feet for an eagle attempt
that burned the edge.
He was standing on the sixth
green, 15 feet behind the hole,
when a big gust backed Woods
off his putt and scattered leaves
raced across the fairway behind
him.
On the next hole, Stricker
was staring over an iron shot
that was drawing right at the
flag. A strong gust swatted the
ball out of the sky and dropped
it 20 feet short of the green into
the deep rough.
Watney was motoring along
at 2 under when he had a birdie
putt on the 14th. He addressed
the ball, backed off and watched
it move, costing him a one-shot
penalty. A new rule that would
eliminate the penalty stroke if
deemed that the wind moved
the ball after address is not
effective until Jan. 1.
Watney took a positive out of
that bogey.
I might be the last player in
history to be penalized under
that rule, he said. That could
be a trivia question one day.
Best that he not hold his
breath on that one.
Jason Day was among the
leaders until the wind gobbled
up his approach on the par-5
16th, leading to double bogey.
Then he hit into the trees on
the par-3 17th and injured his
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.
K.J. Choi opened with five
straight birdies. Tiger Woods
looked as good as he did in
Australia, making his fourth
birdie with a 3-iron to an elevat-
ed green on the par-5 fifth that
covered the flag.
And then, without warning,
the wind showed up Thursday
in the foothills of Sherwood
Country Club.
Choi held his own in gusts up
to 30 mph and finished with a
6-under 66, giving him a three-
shot lead over Woods and Steve
Stricker in the Chevron World
Challenge.
They were the only three
players to break 70 in the 18-
man field in the final official
event in America this year.
Anything under par is a good
day today with the wind up,
said Woods, a four-time winner
of this event and the tourna-
ment host. If the wind stayed
down, youre going to have to
shoot probably 68 or below for
it to be a good score.
Five of the six players who
broke par Jim Furyk, Nick
Watney and Rickie Fowler were
at 71 had most recently
played at blustery Royal Mel-
bourne in the Presidents Cup.
Choi figures he had even a
greater advantage. He lives in
Dallas.
I was used to playing in the
windy conditions, not only play-
ing in Melbourne, but also liv-
ing in Dallas, where theres 20-
to 30-mile wind every other
day, Choi said. Im used to

The notorious Santa Ana
right thumb trying to play out
of the mess. He made another
double bogey, and then finished
with a bogey for a 74.
Matt Kuchar, coming off a
World Cup win with Gary
Woodland in China, was 4 under
until he made triple bogey on
the 16th, bogeyed the 17th and
had to settle for a 72.
Woods also made a bogey on
the 16th after popping up a tee
shot and running into trouble
with his attempt to lay up. Earli-
er on the ninth hole, he had a
nasty lie on the side of a hill
with a large branch in his way,
and he moved the ball only
about 10 yards. But those were
the rare mistakes.

LEXINGTON, Ky. Fresh-
man Anthony Davis scored15
points, grabbed15 rebounds
and had eight of a school-record
18 blocks in No. 1Kentuckys
81-59 victory over St. Johns on
Thursday night.
Terrence Jones added 26
points and nine rebounds for
the Wildcats (7-0), who head
into a highly anticipated show-
down with No. 5 North Carolina
on Saturday on a high note after
a stalwart defensive perform-
ance.
Davis blocked four shots
before the first timeout, and
Kentucky set the teamrecord
with Eloy Vargas swat with 2:42
to go. Davis finished one block
short of tying the individual
mark of nine set by SamBowie
in1981and matched by Andre
Riddick in1993.
Godsgift Achiuwa scored18
points and Moe Harkless added
16 for the Red Storm(4-4) in St.
Johns first appearance in Rupp
Arena since the 1985 Final Four
when it lost to then-No. 1Ge-
orgetown.
This game was much differ-
ent than the last time the Wild-
cats took over the No. 1spot in
coach John Caliparis first year
when they lost at South Car-
olina on Jan. 26, 2010.
Davis blocked his sixth shot
early in the second half then
finished an alley-oop on the
other end fromMarquis Teague
that gave Kentucky a 42-27 lead
with16:26 left. He got his sev-
enth a little over a minute later
and his eighth with just over 12
minutes to go.
Kentucky kept extending its
lead by holding St. Johns to 32
percent shooting, and the fans
got a fewfinal thrills when
Doron Lamb threwan18-foot
alley-oop that Darius Miller
slammed with one hand that
made it 74-49 with 3:49 left.
Vargas tied, then broke the
school record for blocks in a
48-second span to surpass the
mark set against Morehead
State on Nov. 20, 1997. Lamb
finished with16 points.
St. Johns was without coach
Steve Lavin, who is recovering
fromprostate cancer surgery
and has missed the Red Storms
last three games. Assistant
coach Mike Dunlap, who won
two NCAAtitles with Division
II Metro State, paced up and
down in the white tennis shoes
Lavin and his staff wear.
His teamplayed well early,
relying on Achiuwa and Hark-
less on both ends and each had
10 rebounds.
Texas Tech 61,
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 54
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
Jaye Crockett scored12 points
to lead a balanced Texas Tech
squad in a win against Texas
A&M-Corpus Christi.

Top-ranked Cats
defeat St. Johns
ulated they wanted to play to-
gether, but Anthony denied try-
ing to recruit his Olympic team-
mate.
As far as me recruiting Chris
Paul, no, not at all, he said at the
Knicks training facility. Were
very close friends. Impretty sure
you guys saw him in New York a
lot due to the player meetings
and stuff like that, but weve nev-
er had any conversation about
him coming to New York. Thats
something that I would leave up
to him, him and his family. Im
staying away from that.
The Anthony trade saga lasted
from the summer of 2010 until
Denver finally dealt him to the
Knicks in February, and he said
he doesnt think the NBAneeds a
repeat of it now. Yet, he also real-
izes that regardless of what Im
saying right here today, that will
be the biggest topic, the biggest
discussion, at the beginning of
the season, the beginning of
training camp.
Paul will do his best to ignore
it.
I dont think about it, to tell
you the truth, he said. Im just
ready to get out here and com-
pete and hoop. This is what I do.
In the meantime, the status of
the current free agents must be
solved. Chandler is one of thebig-
gest, and though he provided the
Mavericks the interior defense
they needed to finally win a title,
they may not spend the money
necessary to bring him back.
You cant see my fingers or
toes, but they are crossed hoping
that Tysons coming back, guard
Jason Terry said. He was a big
part of what we accomplished
here. Weve laid a foundation. To
take a step backward would be
terrible. Im not saying that we
wouldnt have a chance to win
this year if Tyson doesnt come
back, but it definitely puts things
up against us.
Chris Bosh, looking more mus-
cular, arrived at Miamis facility,
where LeBron James and
Dwyane Wade arent expected
until next week. The Heat also
were without Mike Miller, who
has battled injuries since signing
there last summer. He will miss
about eight weeks while recover-
ing from hernia surgery this
week.
There was no guarantee Miller
would return anyway, given the
considerable speculation the
Heat would waive him via the
amnesty clause that will be in the
new CBA.
I know Mike. Hes a strong
guy, hes going to stay positive
andhes going to get back as soon
as he can, said Heat forward
Udonis Haslem, who went to the
University of Florida with Miller
and considers himone of his very
closest friends. The key with
Mike is, weve got to fight him
not to get back too fast. Hes go-
ing to want to be out there. Hes
going to want to play. Hes got to
just pace himself and get
healthy.
NBA
Players authorize
return of union
NEW YORK NBA players
have authorized the return of
the players association, with
more than 300 submitting the
necessary signatures to a
third-party accounting group.
The union must re-form
before players and owners can
continue negotiating a
collective bargaining
agreement. The hope is to
complete the CBA next week so
both sides can ratify it in time
to open training camps Dec. 9.
This is good news and
completes another step in the
process of finalizing our
agreement, NBA spokesman
Tim Frank said.
When talks with the NBA
broke down Nov. 14, the NBPA
disclaimed interest in
representing the players,
paving the way for them to file
an antitrust lawsuit against the
league. But negotiations
continued despite the
litigation, and a tentative
agreement was reached early
last Saturday. The union
needed at least 260 signatures
from players to be received by
the American Accounting
Association by the end of the
day Thursday and had easily
surpassed that number by the
close of business.

Buy a piece of the Packers
The Green Bay Packers, the NFLs
only publicly owned team, announced
details Thursday about their first stock
sale in 14 years and fifth in team histo-
ry.
The money will help pay for $130
million in renovations at historic Lam-
beau Field in Green Bay.
Packers stock isnt like regular stock.
The value doesnt go up, there are no
dividends and it has virtually no resale
value.
There are currently 112,205 share-
holders who own a total of 4.75 million
shares. Another 250,000 shares will go
on sale Tuesday, available by mail or at
packers.com. In either case, the shares
cost $250 plus a handling charge.
Sunoco shuts refinery
Sunoco is idling a refinery in subur-
ban Philadelphia, and the company
says about 490 layoffs are expected.
Sunoco CEO Lynn Elsenhans said
Thursday that deteriorating market
conditions are forcing the move at the
facility in Marcus Hook.
Sunoco says about 100 employees
will be placed elsewhere within the
company.
Ritas Water Ice taken over
Falconhead Capital LLC says it has
taken a controlling stake in Ritas Wa-
ter Ice Franchise Co. LLC, whose Ital-
ian ice treats are sold in 18 states.
The private equity firm did not dis-
close Thursday how much it paid for
the stake from an investment group led
by Jim Rudolph. Rudolph kept a minor-
ity position in the company, which is
based in suburban Philadelphia.
Since its founding in 1984, Ritas has
grown to 550 franchises.
Jail for Rajaratnam
A hedge fund founders long-shot bid
to remain free pending appeals of his
insider trading conviction and 11-year
prison sentence was rejected Thursday
by a federal appeals court.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in Manhattan denied the request
of Raj Rajaratnam after hearing argu-
ments a day earlier. Rajaratnam, a
54-year-old Sri Lanka native, was sen-
tenced in October to the longest prison
sentence ever to result from an insider
trading case. He is scheduled to report
to prison Monday. He had asked for
leniency because of health problems.

THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011

HARRISBURG The state
Department of Revenue is tak-
ing steps to collect some of an
estimated $350 million in an-
nual sales taxes that currently
go unpaid as a result of pur-
chases made online.
On Thursday the depart-
ment issued a clarification of
law regarding what purchases
are subject to sales tax and ad-
vised online retailers and other
out-of-state sellers to review it
to determine if they should be
collecting the 6 percent Penn-
sylvania sales tax. Companies
have until Feb. 1 to obtain a
sales tax license or potentially
face enforcement action.
There may be some (busi-
nesses) that arent as informed
as they should be of the defini-
tion of nexus as applied to
sales tax collection, said Reve-
nue Secretary Dan Meuser.
Thats why we felt it was im-
portant to issue, not a newpol-
icy, not a new law, but a clarifi-
cation.
Previously, it had been gen-
erally accepted that a business
with a physical presence in
Pennsylvania was required to
collect tax on sales made to
state residents. Amazon.com,
which has a distribution center
near Hazleton, has tried to
fight even that requirement,
but recently agreed in Califor-
nia to begin collecting taxes
next year if a hoped-for federal
tax policy is not adopted.
The Pennsylvania clarifica-
tion would seemto touch near-
lyall onlineretailers, sinceit in-
cludes any out-of-state seller
who solicits orders through a
link on a website with its home
base in Pennsylvania.
Meuser emphasized that al-
though he expects the state to
increase collections, the focus
of the clarification is on fair-
ness.
Our primary goal was to en-
force a lawthat exists, he said.
Many local retailers, Meuser
said, have told him they are
getting slaughtered on a daily
basis by e-commerce compa-
nies that use the absence of
sales tax as a competitive ad-
vantage.
We will engage in some ou-
treach to remind companies
they should review the clarifi-
cation and determine if they
should be collecting taxes,
Meuser said.
State law requires purchas-
ers to pay a use tax on items
that were not taxed at the time
of sale, but in a release an-
nouncing the clarification, the
department said, It is more ef-
ficient and much less burden-
some for the tax to be collected
by vendors
State ups effort to collect online sales tax
By RON BARTIZEK

DETROIT People are finally replacing the cars
and trucks they held on to during the economic slump,
giving a big boost to U.S. auto sales in November.
Chrysler, Ford, Nissan and Hyundai were among the
companies reporting double-digit gains from last year,
in what is normally a lackluster month because of col-
der weather and holiday distractions. This November,
buyers were lured by good deals, improving confidence
in the economy and the need to trade in older cars.
An early blitz of holiday advertising helped convince
some people that it was a
good time to buy. Ken Czu-
bay, Fords vice president
for U.S. sales, says dealers
saw the same rise in sales
that other merchants did
on Black Friday and the
Saturday after Thanksgiv-
ing.
Industry sales rose 14
percent to 994,721, accord-
ing to Autodata Corp. It
was the fastest sales pace
since August 2009, when
the government offered big
rebates for drivers to trade
in their gas-guzzling clunkers. U.S. sales would hit 13.6
millionthis year if they stayedat the same pace they did
in November. Thats far better than the 12.6 million in
the first 10 months of this year.
Toyota Motor Corp.s sales rose 7 percent for the
month, the first time the company has seen a year-over-
year increase since April.
But Honda Motor Co. continued to struggle, partly
because of flooding in Thailand that forced the compa-
ny to slow down U.S. production. Honda sales fell 10
percent for the month.
Chryslers sales rose 45 percent from a year earlier.
They were led by the Jeep Compass small SUV, which
hada nearly10-foldincrease insales.At General Motors
Co., sales of the Chevrolet Cruze compact rose 64 per-
cent, while the Silverado pickup, GMs top-selling vehi-
cle, saw sales jump 34 percent.
Fords sales rose13percent, fueledbythenewExplor-
er SUV, whose sales more thantripledover last Novem-
ber.

Volt will miss its sales
target of 10,000 cars this
year, the company said
Thursday. While dealers
sold 1,139 of the plug-in
hybrids last month, the
company is more than
3,800 shy of its 2011 goal.
GM aims to sell 45,000
Volts in the United States
next year and export an-
other 15,000.

A spate of data Thursday showed U.S.
factories grew last month at the fastest pace since
June, construction spending increased for a third
straight month, and both retail sales and auto sales
rose in November.
But the number of people applyingfor unemploy-
ment benefits is still too high to signal strong hir-
ing.
And manufacturers could face strains overseas in
key export markets, especially if Europes debt cri-
sis worsens and leads the continent into another re-
cession.
For now, factories are growing. The Institute for
Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing
managers, said Thursday that its manufacturing in-
dex rose to 52.7 in November, up from50.8 in Octo-
ber. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.
An index that measures neworders rose to a sev-
en-month high.
Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequen-
cy Economics, said the increase in new orders sug-
gested that factory output will expand at an even
faster pace next month.
The economy seems finally to be developing re-
al momentum; growth is accelerating, he said in a
note to clients.
Separately, the Labor Department said the num-
ber of people who applied for unemployment bene-
fits last weekrose above 400,000 for the first time in
four weeks. The increase comes after applications
had drifted lower over the past two months.
A third report showed that U.S. builders spent
more in October on new homes, offices and shop-
pingcenters. Constructionspendingrose for a third
straight month, the Commerce Department said.
Despite the gains, overall constructionspendingre-
mained depressed.
Meanwhile, retailers from Macys to Costco on
Thursday reported monthly revenue at stores open
at least a year an indicator of a merchants health
that beat Wall Street estimates. The overall tally
for the 21 retailers that reported revenue for No-
vember rose 3.2 percent, according to the Interna-
tional Council of Shopping Centers.

It certainly feels
like December
today. A weak
cold front will
move across
the region today,
producing some
clouds but
not much in the
way of rain or
snow. Afternoon
temperatures
will top out in
the middle and
upper 40s .
Another high
pressure air
mass moves in
tonight, bringing
us clear skies
tonight and
tomorrow.
Sunday will
feature morning
sunshine;
however, clouds
develop during
the afternoon as
another cold
front
approaches
from the west.
Have a great
weekend!
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Rain and snow will fall along a frontal boundary over Texas and eastern New
