PITTSTONTWP. Apartially
nude manwas takeninto custody
Friday afternoon after he alleged-
ly discharged two rounds from a
rifle, striking a residence used as
the municipal tax office, town-
ship police said.
The man identified by neigh-
bors as Michael Kozloski, 28, was
wearing only a T-shirt when he
was apprehended by police near
his apartment at 14A E. Oak St.
around 2:30
p.m.
Police Sgt.
Lena Angelella
saidat least two
rounds passed
through the tax
office of Rita
Timonte at 12
E. Oak St. A driveway separates
the tax office from Kozloskis
apartment.
Police do not believe the tax of-
fice was targeted, calling the
shooting an isolated incident.
Timonte and other people
were inside the tax office when
the shots were fired.
As far as her being in danger,
she was in the house and the bul-
let went through the house, An-
gelella said. Everybody in the
house was in danger.
Police said they recovered a ri-
fle from Kozloski.
Kozloski was transported to
the township police department,
where he was evaluated by para-
medics.
Angelella said it appeared the
gunman was under the influence
of an unknown substance.
Thats probably going to be a
factor in this situation, Angelel-
la said.
Angelella said it remains un-
known why Kozloski was partial-
ly nude and fired the shots.

WASHINGTON The na-
tion added 200,000 jobs in De-
cember in a burst of hiring that
drove the unemployment rate
to its lowest in almost three
years. The figures raised hopes
that the economy might finally
be healthy enough to power an
even stronger job market.
Four long years after the start
of a Great Re-
cession that
wiped out 8.7
million jobs, a
Labor Depart-
ment report
Friday showed
that the past
six months
have been the
strongest for
job creation in
the United
States since
2006.
The Decem-
ber gains,
spread in in-
dustries
throughout the
economy and
far better than
economists
had expected, sent the unem-
ployment rate to 8.5 percent,
the lowest since February 2009.
It has fallen four months in a
row.
There is more horsepower
to this economy than most be-
lieve, said Sung Won Sohn, an
economics professor at Califor-
nia State University, Channel
Islands. The stars are aligned
right for a meaningful econom-
ic recovery.
It means the economy may be
at the start of what is known as
the virtuous cycle a self-sus-
taining, steadily improving pat-
tern of hiring and spending.
When more Americans are
hired, they have more money to
spend. And when more money
courses through the economy,

SALEM TWP. A nuclear
watchdogsays a minor safety vio-
lationat alocal power plant is just
another in a string of incidents
that demonstrate the plant isnt
committed to safety and that fed-
eral oversight is too lenient.
Neil Epstein, of Three Mile Is-
land Alert, pointed to a Jan. 3 ac-
knowledgment letter theNuclear
Regulatory Commissionsent to a
PPL Susquehanna Steam Elec-
tric Station official indicating
PPLs response to a Nov. 8 notice
of violation was acceptable.
The NRC discovered that PPL
failed to inform it more than two
years ago that a reactor operator
needed to wear eyeglasses and
failed to request an amended li-
cense for the operator.
PPLresponded, stating that its
medical examprocess and proce-
dures were fragmented and
lacked sufficient levels of review.
The utility laid out a correction
plan.
Epstein said it might seemlike
a minor issue and that the NRCs
plan to reviewimplementation of
PPLs corrective actions on a fu-
ture inspection was a reasonable
response, but not considering
that theNRCitself notedthat this
was a repetitive issue.
Following a March 2010 in-
spection, the NRCissueda report
noting the failure of two senior
reactor operators tomeet specific
medical requirements for per-
forming their duties. PPL sub-
mitted a response describing its
action to restore compliance and
prevent recurrence, andtheNRC,
again, was satisfied.
There are two trends that dis-
turb me, Epstein said. One is
that PPL cant follow rules, and
the other is that the NRC is un-
willing to enforce its regulations.
The rules are there for a reason
to protect public health and safe-
ty. Onthe surface, it doesnt seem
that bad. But the systematic
problem here is PPLs inability to
pay attention to detail.
Epstein provided a chronology
of incidents at the plant over the
past two years that he says point
to a pattern of non-compliance.
PPL Susquehanna spokesman
Joe Scopelliti said he thinks Ep-
stein is demonstrating the oppo-
site point that even issues of
low safety significance are be-
ing addressed. He said the plant
has two onsite inspectors and
other inspectors audit the plant
throughout the year.
NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan
said the medical/licensing viola-
tions are considered to be the
lowest of four levels under our
traditional enforcement process,
and the company therefore has
an opportunity to place them in
its corrective action program.
SheehansaidtheNRCmadeits
decision after considering that
the operator was wearing correc-
tive lenses since the first failed
test in April 2009 and that an
amended license for a condition
of (wearing eyeglasses) likely
would have been approved.

ON THE NET
The Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
sion issued a notice of violation to
Gerald Rinehart, a former senior
reactor operator at PPL Susque-
hanna Steam Electric Station, for
willful failure to promptly report
an arrest in July 2010.
Rineharts first day back at work
after the arrest was July 18, 2010,
but he did not report the arrest to
his supervisors until July 21, 2010.
The NRC is not taking enforce-
ment action against PPL, the
plants owner.
When a nuclear power plant em-
ployee or contractor has a legal
action taken against them, he or
she is required to promptly report
it to company supervisors so that
they can evaluate whether it
should affect the granting of
unescorted access to the individu-
al or if it would affect the individu-
als mental and physical fitness for
duty.

POLICE BLOTTER
SCRANTON -- David Toney,
20, of Hanover Township, has
entered a guilty plea and ad-
mitted his involvement in the
theft of 12 guns from a federally
licensed firearms dealer in the
Poconos in 2010. A federal
judge then sentenced him to
one year plus one day in prison.
According to the U.S. At-
torneys Office, Toney and Je-
rome Sharr, 21, of Wilkes-Barre,
were previously indicted by a
federal grand jury in June 2011
and charged with the theft of
the weapons from American
Sport Shooting in Monroe
County.
Senior District Court Judge
Richard P. Conaboy accepted
the plea and handed down the
sentence Thursday.
Conaboy also ordered Toney
to serve three years of super-

The City of Wilkes-Barres newest

vices fleet Friday. The ambulance will
cover citywide, but its primary cov-
erage area will be from Public Square/
Market Street to the Hanover Town-
ship line and to back up Medic 5. The
ambulance will be based out of the

with funding from the Office of Com-
munity Development.
This ambulance will significantly
upgrade the quality of our emergency

Barre have nothing less than the high-
est quality equipment and trained EMS
personnel to provide the best medical
care in their time of need.

Fatal accident reconstructed
State police at Shickshinny closed a
section of Route 11 Friday to recon-
struct an accident that claimed the life
of 84-year-old Rachel Wolfe of Berwick
on Wednesday.
Wolfe was driving a vehicle that was
struck head-on by a pickup truck oper-
ated by Theodore Luciw, 50, of Ber-
wick, Salem Township police said.
Police believe Luciw was speeding
and passed another vehicle illegally
when he struck Wolfes vehicle.
Alcohol may have played a role in
the crash, police said.
No charges have been filed.

District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
said Friday her first week in office is
what she expected it to be visiting
crime scenes, speaking with the state
Attorney Generals Office and dealing
with a proposed budget cut of more
than $600,000.
So far, its been a great experience,
Salavantis said, adding she has been
pulled in 20 different directions over
the last few days, focusing mainly on
the budget.
Salavantis said her office is still in
its transition phase, during which
shes meeting with staff, assistant dis-

Shes made few changes, she said,
but did appoint a deputy district attor-

Falvello, who has worked in the of-
fice for about four years, will take on
administrative tasks in addition to
prosecuting cases, and will be third in

WILKES-BARRE An attorney rep-
resenting the two centers at the heart
of the county corruption scandal told a
federal judgeFridaythat what heneeds
to consider in a $17.75 million pro-
posed settlement is that each juvenile
involved is different.
You cant treat 2,400 kids equally,
attorney Bernard Schneider said.
Schneider, an attorney for the PA
Child Care and Western PAChild Care
facilities, said that blanket agreements
in the settlement cannot apply to each
case, because each case is different, in-
cluding that juveniles committed vari-
ous different crimes and were sen-
tenced differently.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard Capu-
to also heard arguments from attor-
neys who represent the estimated
2,400 juveniles and their parents who
are eligible toreceive payments that re-
al estate developer Robert Mericle has
agreed to pay for his role in the corrup-
tion.
Caputo, whodidnot rule whether he
will allowa preliminary approval of the
settlement, said he will accept addi-
tional court papers to aid himin his de-
cision.
Attorney William Caroselli said the
next court hearing, a fairness hearing,
would likely not occur until August or
September.
The settlement involves juveniles
who appeared before former Judge
Mark Ciavarella betweenJanuary 2003
and May 2008, and sets up four funds
that provide for varying payments de-
pending on individual circumstances.

PLAINS TWP. Alcohol intoxication had nothing
to do with a towing accident that claimed the life of a
woman last March, a lawyer for Robert Wickhamsaid
after a preliminary hearing on Friday.
Attorney Thomas Marsilio acknowledged Wick-
ham, 55, had an alcohol level of .114 percent. But he
blamed a defective vehicle he was towing that led to
fatal injuries suffered by Denise Polinchak.
Polinchak, 55, of Wilkes-Barre, was having her vehi-
cle towedby Wickhambecause of brake problems out-
side the Social Security Administration building on
East Mountain Road on March 7.
Wickham was in the drivers seat of Polinchaks car
withthe door openwhenthe vehicle suddenlyacceler-
ated. The open door struck Polinchak, knocking her
to the pavement.
Polinchak died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center later that day. Her death was ruled a hom-
icide, said Luzerne County Acting Coroner William
Lisman.
Prosecutors allegedWickhamdrankthree 24-ounce

McAdoo men get trial date
A
new trial date was set Friday for a
Pennsylvania father and son ac-
cused of making harassing telephone
calls to Sarah Palins lawyers.
Craig Christy and his son Shawn, of
McAdoo, were expected in federal
court in Anchorage for change-of-plea
hearings but they also wanted a new
judge. That request resulted in the
hearing being vacated and a new trial
date set for Jan. 26.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess
in December rejected plea deals the
Christys had reached with prosecutors
and ordered them to stand trial.
The Christys were arrested in Au-
gust and charged with making harass-
ing telephone calls.
Prosecutor Retta-Rae Randall said
that she will be filing a response by
next Wednesday opposing a change of
judge. In the meantime, the Christys
remained held in an Anchorage jail.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Six children, 5 troops killed
Explosives hidden in a trash heap
killed six children in southern Afghan-
istan Friday, police said, and five NATO
troops were killed in roadside bomb-
ings in the volatile region.
The children were rummaging
through the trash for food scraps and
bottles in the southern province of
Uruzgon when the blast killed them,
police spokesman Farid Ayal said. A
civilian man also died in the blast.
Four other children were wounded
by the explosion in Trinkot, the pro-
vincial capital about 250 miles south-
west of Kabul.
BAGHDAD
New party has link to Iran
A Shiite militias decision to trans-
form itself from an armed, anti-Amer-
ican movement into a viable political
force could complicate Iraqs political
crisis and strengthen Irans clout in this
country as U.S. influence wanes.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis
government has welcomed the recent
decision by Asaib Ahl al-Haq to lay
down its arms and join the political
process. But bringing the former mil-
itants into the fold may alienate the
Sunni minority and increase tensions
between competing Shiite groups.
Al-Maliki may now gain an impor-
tant ally that could also lessen his
dependence on radical Shiite cleric
Muqtada al-Sadrs political bloc. Al-
Sadr considers Asaib Ahl al-Haq a
disloyal faction that broke away from
his anti-American militia years ago.
The group is thought to have fewer
than 1,000 armed militiamen, backed
by tens of thousands of supporters.
An Iraqi close to Asaib Ahl al-Haq
said last year that it relies on Iran for
roughly $5 million in cash and weap-
ons each month.
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
11 die in balloon crash
A hot air balloon crashed and killed
all 11 people aboard near a rural town
some 94 miles north of the capital,
Wellington, officials said Saturday.
Police confirmed there were mul-
tiple deaths when the balloon crashed.
Witnesses told local media of seeing
32-foot-high flames rising from the
balloons basket before it plummeted to
the ground. I was watering the garden
and heard a noise, the noise of the gas
to raise the balloon. I looked over and I
couldnt believe it one side of the
basket was on fire, said local resident
David McKinlay.
The stricken balloon hit power lines
as it fell, causing electricity cuts in the
local area for about 20 minutes, offi-
cials said.
Police said they have no details yet
of what caused the early morning
crash.

BEIRUT A bomb exploded Friday
at a busy Damascus intersection, killing
25 people and wounding dozens in the
second major attack in the Syrian cap-
ital in as many weeks, officials said,
vowing to respond to further security
threats with an iron fist.
The government blamed terrorists,
sayinga suicide bomber hadblownhim-
self up in the crowded Midan district.
But the countrys opposition demanded
an independent investigation, accusing
forces loyal to the Syrian regime of be-
ing behind the bombing to tarnish a 10-
month-old uprising against President
Bashar Assad.
It was impossibletodeterminetheex-
act target of the blast, but a police bus
was riddled with shrapnel and blood
was splattered on its seats, according to
Syrian TV video and a government offi-
cial. Bloodalsostainedthestreet, which
was littered with shattered glass.
The bomber detonated himself with
the aim of killing the largest number of
people, Interior Minister Mohammed
Shaar told reporters. State media said
most of the deadwere civilians but secu-
rity forces were also among them.
Midan is one of several Damascus
neighborhoods that have seen frequent
anti-Assad protests on Fridays since the
uprising began in March, inspired by
the revolutions around the Arab world.
The violence marks a dramatic esca-
lation of bloodshed in Syria as Arab
League observers tour the country toin-
vestigate Assads bloody crackdown on
dissent. The monitoring mission will is-
sueits first findings Sundayat ameeting
in Cairo.
In a statement, the Interior Ministry
vowed to respond to any security
threats with an iron fist.
Syrias state media, SANA, put the ini-
tial death toll at 25 and more than 60
wounded. The death toll included 10
confirmed dead and the remains of an
estimated 15 others whose bodies had
yet to be identified.
More protests continued Friday
around the country, and security forces
killed at least eight people, according to
the British-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights.

KEENE, N.H. Risking the wrath of
older voters, Republican presidential
candidate Rick Santorum is calling for
immediate cuts to Social Security bene-
fits and says the country cant wait to
phase in reductions as the majority of
his rivals have advocated.
We cant wait 10 years, even though
everybody wants to, Santorum told a
crowd while campaigning in New
Hampshire Friday, breaking with oppo-
nents who say immediate cuts would be
too big a shock to current and soon-to-
be retirees.
Calling for cuts in Social Security of-
ten triggers strong opposition, and poli-
ticians typically suggest phase-in peri-
ods of up to a decade when broaching
the topic.
Santorum, who was trying to lever-
age his strong Iowa showing in New
Hampshire, argued that everyone must
sacrifice now because the nations
house is on fire with soaring federal
debt. He argued that he is being coura-
geous and honest by telling Americans
they cant afford to wait to rein in Social
Securitys growingcosts. Andhe saidhe
anticipated possible attack ads on his
position, four days ahead of NewHamp-
shires GOP primary.
He made a similar pitch last week in
Fort Dodge, Iowa, when he was getting
little attention in the GOP race and
before he came from the back of the
pack to nearly win the Iowa caucuses.
Santorum, a former senator from
Pennsylvania, says changes should in-
clude a higher eligibility age to qualify
for Social Security benefits, and tighter
restrictions on benefits for upper-in-
come people.
Social Security pays proportionately
higher benefits to low-income people.
But Santorum says wealthy retirees
proportionate benefits should be
trimmed further.
Trim Social Security now even if its painful, Santorum says

about the firing of football coach
Joe Paterno said Friday it hopes
to field a slate of candidates to
serve on the Board of Trustees.
Penn Staters for Responsible

dorse people to run in the spring

board that are reserved for alum-
ni. The group has a website and
about 2,000 members on a Face-

the board.
Group spokeswoman Mari-
beth Roman Schmidt says mem-
bers believe the board mishan-
dled the November firing of Pa-
terno and the ouster of president
Graham Spanier after the Nov. 5
arrest of former assistant coach
Jerry Sandusky on child sex-
abuse charges.
It just bubbledupas a result of
alumni who wanted to feel they
were making a positive contribu-
tion toward moving the universi-
ty forward, and a group of people
who shared a common observa-
tion that it seemed like there was
a rush to judgment, said
Schmidt, who graduated from
the university in 1988.
Alumni trustee David Jones
said Friday he will not run for a
sixth three-year term, while
alumni trustee Anne Riley said
she had not decided whether to
run for re-election. The other
alumni seat that will open this

ing athletic director.

and driving under the influence
to Luzerne County Court.
The cause of this accident was
infact a defective vehicle withde-
fective brakes, Marsilio said af-
ter the hearing. The drinking
did not play a role in this partic-
ular case. Lets face it, he had a
.114percent withintwohours and
again I have to reiterate that his
state of intoxication, if any, had
no bearing whatsoever on the ac-
cident itself.
Assistant district attorneys
Shannon Crake and Rebecca Rei-
miller strongly disagreed.
(Wickhams) blood-alcohol
level was over the legal limit,
Crake said. They want to say it
doesnt matter and wasnt re-
sponsible for the accident, but in
Pennsylvania, the law says you
cant drink and drive, and he was
by all standards drunk when he
arrived to towMr. Polinchaks ve-
hicle. Its our firm belief thats
what led to her death.
An adult driver in Pennsylva-
nia is considered intoxicated
with a BAC of .08 percent.
Township police Officers Wil-
liamPoulus and Robert Kelly tes-
tified Wickham claimed he told
Polinchak to stand away fromthe
vehicle that suddenly accelerat-
ed, striking her with an open
door. Kelly said an inspection of
the vehicle found a blown brake
line and no problems with the ac-
celerator.
Polinchaks estate, through the
Anzalone Law Firm of Wilkes-
Barre, has filed a wrongful death
lawsuit against Wickham, Herb-
erts Towing and AAAMid-Atlan-
tic. Wickham remains free on
$25,000 unsecured bail.
WICKHAM
Continued from Page 3A
cide case of Robert Zola, charged
in the December 2009 stabbing
death of Rosemarie Cave inside
her Plymouth home.
Zola was found guilty of a
third-degree murder charge and
sentenced to 12 to 40 years in
state prison.
Salavantis said she is in the
process of instituting policies
and procedure manuals, and
making her staff feel as comfort-
able as possible.
I want them to know they can
come to me, Salvantis said.
Salavantis said she has been
reviewing suggestions to make
to the court system that might
cut down on costs and wasted
time in court, but said Friday she
could not elaborate on details.
Shes already been to the scene
of a deadly crash along Route 11
in Salem Township that resulted
in the death of an 84-year-old
woman.
And, shes collaborated with
the Attorney Generals Office
about a Nanticoke bar where a
woman was slashed in the face
with a box cutter.
But, Salavantis said she also
has been tasked with reviewing a
proposed budget cut of $622,828
in her office.
Its an area that gets me heat-
ed, Salavantis said, adding she
fears her office wont be able to
function properly if a 15 percent
cut occurs. It would hurt the of-
fice. Its a scary feeling, she
said.
Salavantis said she will be
meeting with interim county
manager Tom Pribula next week
to review the proposed cuts, and
that she has back-to-back meet-
ings the rest of the month until
Luzerne County Council mem-
bers amend the budget.
Each one of the (assistant dis-
trict attorneys) has such a large
caseload, it would hurt the office
if we lost one, Salavantis said,
adding there are still open ADA
spots that need to be filled to
handle the caseload.
Were already spread thin,
Salavantis said.
SALAVANTIS
Stefanie Salavantis said Friday shes still in the transition phase and
is in the process of instituting policies and procedure manuals.
Its an area that gets me
heated. It would hurt the
office. Its a scary feel-
ing.
District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
On proposed budget cuts
the two facilities would re-
ceive $5,000; those incarcer-
ated at other facilities would
receive $1,000; while those
who were adjudicated delin-
quent but not incarcerated
would receive $500.
Some juveniles would be
able to seek additional com-
pensation based on several
factors, including the num-
ber of times and length of
their incarceration and de-
gree of emotional, physical
and education damage they
suffered.
Schneider argued Friday
that the agreement unfairly
favors certain juvenile plain-
tiffs over others, and that
some of the juveniles dont
deserve the enhanced bene-
fit because they may have
committed more serious
crimes.
Caroselli said each of the
juveniles cases would go to a
settlement master.
That settlement master, if
approved by Caputo, would
be a retired New Jersey
judge, Mariana Corodemus,
a special master handling
class-actions andother litiga-
tion.
Caputo said he was con-
cerned with the appoint-
ment of a special master be-
cause whatever her ruling
might be, it would be the fi-
nal say in that juveniles case.
Attorneys for the juveniles
said that any authorization
of payment would be submit-
ted to Caputo for final deter-
mination, givinghimtheulti-
mate say.
The settlement agreement
would also call for a media-
tor to be appointed to handle
any juvenile plaintiff who de-
cided to opt out of the class
action and seek to file indi-
vidual lawsuits.
That mediator, suggested
to be an attorney fromScran-
ton, wouldhandlethat suit in
a non-binding way, Caro-
selli said.
MERICLE
growingtensionbetweenen-
ergy companies and locals in
shaleregions. If theEPAcon-
ducts more testing, it will be
a victory for residents, who
have complained that their
concerns have been ignored.
Federal officials told af-
fected residents, some of
whom have been without
fresh drinking water since
drilling began there three
years ago, that they may be-
gin testing their water with-
in two weeks, the report
stated.
Residents began com-
plaining of cloudy, ill-smell-
ingwater in2008after Cabot
Oil & Gas began fracking, a
technique that involves in-
jecting chemical-laced water
andsandintowellstorelease
gas in shale rock deep below
the surface. Cabot had
trucked water to a dozen Di-
mock households for three
years until November when
state regulators said tap wa-
ter standards were good
enough for themto stop.
DIMOCK
HARRISBURG Three men
from Luzerne County were among
the 45 graduates of the State Po-
lice Academy who joined the
ranks of the Pennsylvania State
Police on Friday.
Michael J. Foux of Nanticoke,
Joseph P. Urban of Nanticoke and
James A. Gilhooley Jr. of Yates-
ville participated in the ceremony
at Central Dauphin High School.
Urban was honored during the cer-
emonies with the Commissioner
Daniel F. Dunn High Scholastic
Award.
I congratulate each and every
one of you, the 133rd class of the
Pennsylvania State Police. Today,
you become the ultimate protec-
tors of the citizens of the common-
wealth and we thank you for your
dedication and service, State Po-
lice Commissioner Frank Noonan
said. As you broach your new as-
signments, I am confident you will
uphold the traditions of honor, ser-
vice, integrity, respect, trust, cour-
age and duty of this great law en-
forcement organization.
The graduates have been as-
signed to stations within 10 troop
areas across the state.
Locally, Troop N, headquartered
in Hazleton, and Troop R, in Dun-
more, will receive some of the
graduates. Troop P, based in
Wyoming, will not.
Four graduates are assigned to
Troop N. They are: Foux and Ur-
ban, Marvin S. Shair of Hawley,
and Michael R. Sofranko of Jim
Thorpe. The two graduates as-
signed to Troop R are Gilhooley
and Michael A. Oakes of New
Hope.

Luzerne County family court
services Director Michael Shu-
cosky has been hired as a county
deputy court administrator, ac-
cording to officials.
The hiring took effect Dec. 30,
and Shucosky will be paid
$73,000, said Art Heinz, spokes-
man for the Administrative Of-
fice of Pennsylvania Courts, or
AOPC.
Shucosky will continue to
work in the county court, but his
management position is among a
handful funded by the state.
County judges recommend
someone for hire, but the states
chief justice makes the appoint-
ment.
The county is still without a
permanent chief administrator
since WilliamSharkey was termi-
nated on Feb. 24, 2009, just days
after his guilty plea to stealing
$70,000 in seized illegal gam-
bling proceeds.
County President Judge Tho-
mas Burke said John Mulroy con-
tinues to serve as acting court ad-
ministrator. The court has two
other state-funded deputy ad-
ministrators Peter J. Adonizio
and Kathleen Hubbard, Burke
said.
Court administrators and dep-
uties oversee the management of
cases, personnel and budgets for
several court branches.
Shucosky previously received
$73,245 as family court director.
County judges recently ap-
pointed Romilda Crocamo, who
previously served as Judge Tina
Polacheck Gartleys law clerk, to
serve as interim master of juve-
nile delinquency and dependen-
cy court.
Burke said Crocamo will pre-
side over juvenile dependency
cases previously heard by Shu-
cosky as part of his family court
position.
The court did not have time to
publicly advertise the position,
Burke said, noting that a public
advertisement will be issued for
the permanent master job.
The annual salary is $54,000
plus benefits, and Crocamo will
receive half of that during the six-
month assignment, Burke said.
Crocamo must give up the law
clerk job, and Burke expects Po-
lacheck Gartley will fill that posi-
tion.
Luzerne County has new deputy court administrator

Disciplinary actions were tak-
en by state departments against
104 licensed or commissioned
professionals and organizations
across the state in December.
Several of the measures were le-
vied against area professionals.
The state Board of Cosmetol-
ogy took the following actions:
Professional Hair Design of
Scranton Inc., doing business as
Pro Hair Design, had its license
suspended for nonpayment of a
previously imposed civil penalty.
Sports Page, of Forty Fort,
had its license suspended for
nonpayment of a previously im-
posed civil penalty.
Kevin Phuong Vo, individu-
ally and doing business as Beau-
ty Nail in Tunkhannock, was or-
dered to pay a civil penalty of
$1,600 and investigation costs of
$44.63 because the business em-
ployed an unlicensed employee,
did not have a wet sterilizer pre-
sent and performed waxing ser-
vices when individuals were not
licensed to do so.
Several notaries public were
cited, including:
Eric R. Weber of Harveys
Lake, who was suspended for
nine months, which was immedi-
ately stayed in favor of proba-
tion; ordered to pay a civil penal-
ty of $500 and an assessment of
$450 for the costs of continued
monitoring; and ordered to at-
tend a six-hour notary education
class because he did not submit
documents in a timely manner.
A civil penalty of $1,500 was
assessed against Sandra L. Da-
vis, notary public. Davis was
barred from appointment and
commission as a notary public
until the civil penalty is paid.
This action was based on her fail-
ure to promptly tender customer
documents to the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
and her failure to maintain and
produce upon request a notary
register. Daviss registered busi-
ness address was in West Nanti-
coke.
The state Board of Nursing re-
ports that:
Nancy L. Karpowich, of Pitt-
ston Township, voluntarily sur-
rendered her license to practice
as a practical nurse in the state
because she violated a lawful dis-
ciplinary order of the board.
The state Board of Osteopath-
ic Medicine reports that:
Mark Gonsky, of Luzerne
County, was ordered to attend a
course in prescribing controlled
substances in 2012, institute con-
tracts for the management of any
chronic pain patients and engage
a professional office manage-
ment company to reviewhis doc-
umentation practices and then
re-evaluate the documentation
practices six months later be-
cause he failed to maintain com-
plete records for his patient.

He was born in Kingston, the son
of the late Mitchell and Louise (Mah-
le) Sieminski. He resided in Edison,
N.J., for 31 years. In 1992, he moved
to North Brunswick. Bill was a mod-
est and strong man devoted to his
family.

kowski) Sieminski, of 51 years and
his daughter, Paula Devansky and
her husband, James Devansky, of
Monroe, N.J.

RAYMOND P. ZIOMEK, of
Wilkes-Barre, passed away Thurs-
day, January 5, 2012, at his home.
Born in Newport Township, he
was asonof thelateJohnandMary
Mazur Ziomek. He was a 1946
graduate of Newport Township
High School and was last employ-
ed at Topps, Duryea. He was a Na-
vy veteran of World War II. He was
preceded in death by brothers,
Chester, Edwin, Walter, Eugene
and Joseph; sisters, Amelia and

wife of 57 years, the former Jeral-
dine Benjamin; sons, Raymond
and John of Wilkes-Barre; daugh-
ter, JudithFarrell andher husband,
Jack, of Bear Creek; and grandson,
Vincent Farrell and wife, Tiffany of
Maricopa, Ariz.
Private funeral services were
held by the Jendrzejewski Funeral
Home. The family would like to
thank Dr. John Kish and his staff
for their compassionate care.
The combination of old-fash-
ioned, hand-shaking, baby-kissing
campaigning and a big dose of luck
worked for him in Iowa. But I think
Iowa will be Santorums high water
mark.
Brian Carso
The Misericordia University assistant history professor predicted limited
success for presidential candidate Rick Santorum despite a strong
showing in the Iowa caucus.
Only show from Urban
has been no, no, no
I
t seems the home rule charter that I was
so enthusiastic about has gotten off to a
bumpy start.
One of the biggest roadblocks to success
is Stephen A. Urban. Why someone
wouldnt show up to the swearing-in cere-
mony and show some form of unity is
beyond me.
Stephen A. Urban has displayed that he
is nothing more than the kid who didnt
get to pick teams, so he grabbed his foot-
ball and took it home. It shouldnt have
come as a surprise to many of us, since for
years he seemed to never want the major-
ity. It wouldnt give him the power to say
no to everything worse than a child go-
ing through the terrible twos.
He apparently felt slighted when he lost
to state Sen. John Yudichak. He didnt get
the support; he was going to change par-
ties. It never occurred to him that Yud-
ichak is a very well-respected lawmaker
who didnt keep yelling no, no, no!
Now Urban is displaying signs of a man
losing grip of power he once had. He has
been weakened by the home rule charter.
He has been diluted, and I dont think he
very much cares for it. My only hope is
that people remember this four years from
now.
I think many of us thought there would
be bumps in the road, but his behavior is
downright pothole-like. And as we all
know, we have enough potholes in this
area.
Now, Councilman Urban, is your time to
prove whether youre a team player or
naysayer.
I hope you prove me wrong and make
me question down the road if I made the
wrong choice when I chose Sen. Yudichak
that day. But right now its like choosing
between flannel-lined jeans and shorts on a
95-degree day. It was a no-brainer.

K
KEENE, N.H. For seven
months, Jon Huntsman has
assiduously courted New
Hampshire voters to posi-
tion himself for a major run
at Republican front-runner
Mitt Romney when the
primary spotlight falls this week on the
Granite State.
The former Utah governor has taken a
more low-key, less confrontational approach
than his GOP rivals, attracting praise from
conservative newspapers such as The Wall
Street Journal and liberal ones including
this states Concord Monitor and Keene
Sentinel.
Polls show Huntsman still trails both
Romney and Rep. Ron Paul, and an incident
Tuesday suggested he has a way to go to
penetrate the consciousness of enough
voters to justify his controversial decision
to bypass the Iowa caucuses and the enor-
mous publicity they produced this week.
Whos the guy? several workers asked
plant officials, as Huntsman toured the
Tidland Co.s small machine parts plant
here, one official related later.
Huntsman said later that he didnt think
it was a problem that he still needs to in-
troduce himself after 150 appearances in
New Hampshire.
How well do they know any candi-
dates? he asked in an interview, while
conceding that prior bids helped both Rom-
ney and Paul.
Thats not the challenge, he added.
Our challenge is to keep focused on our
message and keep working in New Hamp-
shire.
Huntsman insisted Iowa wont have an
impact on his New Hampshire campaign,
telling an enthusiastic rally in nearby Peter-
borough his message to Iowas winner was:
Welcome to New Hampshire. Nobody
cares.
That will be tested in the next few days
by Rick Santorums boost from his unex-
pected near tie with Romney and Newt
Gingrichs vow to challenge Romneys con-
servative credentials. Interestingly, any
success they have might help Huntsman by
hurting Romney.
Meanwhile, some Republicans here
echoed Iowa Gov. Terry Branstads com-
ment that Huntsman messed up big time
in trying to match Sen. John McCains 2008
feat in skipping Iowa to saturate New
Hampshire.
No one can really be like McCain, given
his bio as a war hero and his character,
said Mike Dennehy, a top 2000 and 2008
McCain operative who is neutral this year.
Ironically, McCain came here Wednesday to
endorse Romney.
Huntsman also made a major strategic
error by dropping his moderate image to
portray himself as a consistent conserva-
tive, Dennehy said.
He has a very good image among moder-
ates, and he is trying to play to the conser-
vatives, he added, estimating GOP moder-
ates and independents could make up 40
percent of next Tuesdays voters.
Huntsman denied changing his message.
Its been the same all the way from the
beginning, he said. Were talking about
revitalizing the economy. Were talking
about the trust deficit and the budget
deficit.
Huntsmans earnest approach invariably
impresses undecided voters.
My inclination is to go with Romney
because hes electable, retired business
executive Emily Morgan, 64, said before
Huntsmans Peterborough appearance.
Afterward, she said, He certainly merits
being looked into further.
A night earlier in Dover, Joyce Bowden,
65, a retired insurance adjuster, said she
was impressed with Huntsmans economic
proposals.
I dont know why Mr. Huntsman hasnt
caught on, she said.
The next few days will show if he can yet
do so.

chief of the Dallas Morning News. Readers may

Can Huntsman catch on in New Hampshire primary?
COMMENTARY
C A R L P . L E U B S D O R F
The former Utah governor has taken a
more low-key, less confrontational
approach than his GOP rivals
T
HIS YEAR, THE U.S.
Supreme Court will
take up three issues
that would be impor-
tant at any time in the nations
history: health care reform, im-
migration enforcement and de-
terminations of geographical
boundaries of legislative dis-
tricts.
But, because all three issues
are politically volatile, the
cases could be particularly im-
portant in an election year.
Oral arguments in a Texas
case involving legislative dis-
tricts are scheduled for Mon-
day. The court has allotted
three days in March for argu-
ments on the federal health
care reformlaw. The challenge
to Arizonas immigration law
of 2010 probably will
come up in April.
The courts rulings
could have far-rang-
ing effects on the
lives of Americans
and alter the division
of power between
the federal govern-
ment and the states.
All threeissues could
indicate whether the
court the branch of
government that
should stand above
politics has succumbed to
partisan squabbling.
Challenges to the Patient
ProtectionandAffordableCare
Act of 2010 received heavy
scrutiny as they worked their
way to the Supreme Court
from district and appellate
courts. The overriding ques-
tion is whether two parts of Ar-
ticle1, Section 8, of the Consti-
tution the commerce clause
and the necessary-and-proper
clause give Congress the
power to require Americans to
purchase health insurance.
Opponents say this exceeds
that authority. A related ques-
tion is whether the rest of the
law remains valid if the man-
date is ruled unconstitutional.
In Texas 2011 redistricting
case, the Republican-dominat-
ed Texas legislature revised
maps of legislative districts to
match the results of the 2010
Census.
Texas is among nine states
(along with parts of seven oth-
er states) with a history of vot-
ing discrimination against ra-
cial minorities. By law, it must
get proposed voting-related
changes approved by the De-
partment of Justice or a three-
judge federal court panel in
Washington. Texas chose to
submit its maps to the panel.
The judges found problems
with the legislatures minority
standards and decided a trial
was neededtoassess the maps.
A federal court in San Antonio
then drew up interim maps to
use until the trial.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and
other officials filed an emer-
gency petition
with the Supreme
Court, asking it to
freeze the interim
maps and decide
whether the Texas
legislature or a
federal court is the
proper body to
draw the districts.
The uncertain-
ty has cast confu-
sion over a state
primary election
set for March 6.
Arizonas 2010 immigration
lawincludeda controversial re-
quirement that state law en-
forcement officers detain peo-
ple stopped for any reason if
they cannot prove they are in
the country legally. A federal
appeals court ruled that four
provisions of the lawimproper-
ly preempt federal law.
In both the immigration and
redistricting cases, the court
could choose to rule broadly
giving all states the guidance
theyneedor impose a narrow
judgment that applies only in
specific instances.
There is no shortage of pre-
dictions. But until oral argu-
ments provide solid clues to
the inclinations of swing Jus-
tice Anthony Kennedy, every-
thing is mere guesswork.

OTHER OPINION: SUPREME COURT
The courts rulings
could have
far-ranging effects
on the lives of
Americans and
alter the division
of power between
the federal
government and
the states.

Council cant wait until Feb. 15
to unveil the proposed amended
budget. The new home rule char-
ter requires council toholdat least
one public hearing on the amend-
ments, and this hearing must be
held after the plan has been publi-
cly displayed for at least seven
days.
Pribula said he has reached out
to several departments to discuss
budget options but still needs to
complete more analysis, including
researching the accuracy of reve-
nue projections plugged in by the
former commissioners. He wants
to present several budget scena-
rios to council in two weeks.
Inquiries to Pribula range from
problemswithassessment appeals
to unpaid bills from 2010. Pribula
saidhedoesnt want tostopreturn-
ing messages, but is suddenly per-
forming constituent and staff ser-
vices that werepreviouslyhandled
bytheformer manager/chief clerk
and three elected commissioners.
The11-member, part-time coun-
ty council does not have daytime
office hours and cannot intervene
in day-to-day operations.
I want tomakesureinternal de-
partments and the public are ser-
viced without interruption, Prib-
ula said.
The processingof some matters
also has been slowed by debate
over whether particular decisions
must be made by council or the
managerunderthenewcharter, he
said.
County solicitor Vito DeLuca,
who did not apply for the home
rule chief solicitor position, has
been eager to help with a variety
of things, but Pribula saidhe may
requiretemporaryconsultinglegal
assistance from attorney Jeff Ma-
lak, who served as solicitor for the
home rule charter drafters and
transition committee.

through some of the pressing non-
budget transitional issues that
havecroppedup, Pribula said, not-
ing that he is seeking proposals
fromboth men.
Pribula said he does not believe
the home rule transition commit-
tee anticipated the mountain of
home rule conversion issues that
must be handled in the first few
weeks.
There really wasnt a detailed
successionplangoingfromtheold
form of government to the new,
Pribula said.
He doesnt plan to make recom-
mendations for divisionchief posi-
tions, sayingthat shouldbe left for
the permanent manager, who has
not yet been hired.
Imnot goingtoput upperman-
agement in place that the new
managers got to live with or mis-
lead individuals that theyre going
to be permanent division heads,
Pribula said.
He said he had to temporarily
put someone in charge of human
service branches because Joe De-
Vizia retired fromthe position. He
assigned Mary Dysleski to the po-
sition, effective Friday.
Dysleski has worked under De-
Vizia and is currently human ser-
vices fiscal officer.
Pribula has designated existing
deputies to oversee the duties of
row offices that were run by elect-
ed officials eliminated by home
rule.
Thefollowingdeputies will han-
dle these duties: Clerk of Courts,
TomPizano; Coroner, WilliamLis-
man; Recorder of Deeds, Joan
Hoggarth; and Treasurer, Domin-
ick DePolo.
Sheriff JohnGilliganwill contin-
ue to oversee that office because
Deputy Carl Zawatski retired,
Pribula said.
PRIBULA
businesses can justify hiring more peo-
ple. That leads tomorejobs andmorede-
mand.
Another pattern, knownas the vicious
cycle, took hold to devastating effect
during the Great Recession. People lost
jobs and spent less money, so businesses
rang up less sales and were forced to lay
off more people.
Finally, the reverse may be happening.
The labor market is healing, said
Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesi-
row Financial. She cautioned that we
still have a long way to go years to
recoup the losses we have endured.
Indeed, the economy added 1.6 mil-
lion jobs for all of 2011. That is better
thanthe 940,000it addedduring2010
and far better than the 5 million it lost
during 2009, the most bruising year of
the Great Recession.
But the nation still has 6 million fewer
jobs than it did in December 2007, when
the recession began. Economists fore-
cast the nation will add 2.1 million jobs
this year.
The unemployment report was the
first to be released since Republicans
across thecountrybeganvotingtodeter-
mine a candidate to face President Ba-
rack Obama this fall in an election that
will turn on the economy.
Obama appears bound to face voters
with the highest unemployment rate of
any president running for re-election
since World War II. Unemployment was
7.8 percent when Obama took office.
But the presidents re-election chanc-
es mayhingemoreonthedirectionof the
unemployment rate. It was 7.2 percent
when Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mon-
dale in 1984, but it had fallen from 10.8
percent two years before the election.
Alan Krueger, Obamas chief econom-
ic adviser, said the report provides fur-
ther evidence that the economy is con-
tinuing to heal fromthe worst economic
downturn since the Great Depression.
Campaigning in New Hampshire for
Obamas job, former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum claimed credit for Re-
publicans, suggesting the gains were
tied to voter optimismthat a Republican
would take the White House.
Another candidate, former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich, dismissed the
job gains as inadequate.
The report painted a picture of a
broadly improving job market. Average
hourly pay rose, providing people more
money tospend. The average workweek
lengthened, a signbusiness is pickingup
and companies may soon need to hire.
The private sector added 212,000 jobs
in December. Those gains were offset by
12,000 layoffs by governments.
Hiring increased across industries.
Manufacturingadded23,000 jobs, as did
the health care industry. Transportation
and warehousing added 50,000 jobs. Re-
tailers added 28,000. Even the construc-
tion industry added 17,000.
Economists cautioned that some of
the gains reflected temporary hiring for
the holiday season. The government ad-
justs the figures to try to account for
those seasonal factors, but doesnt al-
ways get it exactly right.
The gains in transportation and ware-
housing, for example, reflected a strong
increase in hiring for couriers and mess-
engers. That could be because of the
jump in online shopping over the holi-
days, the Labor Department said.
And the economy still faces many
challenges, including a likely recession
in Europe exacerbated by the debt crisis
there.
While Decembers data represent
good news, there is no guarantee that Ja-
nuary will follow a similar path, said
Joshua Shapiro, chief economist at MFR
Inc., in a note to clients.

said.
Michael Grady, 23, wholives in
the neighborhood, said his 5-
year-old son and former girl-
friendresidewithKozloski inside
the East Oak Street apartment.
Grady said he was pleased to
learn his son was not home at the
time of the gunfire.
Police suspect Kozloski fired a
round inside his apartment that
passed through a windowand in-
to the tax collectors office. The
second round was fired from the
street, police said.
Police seized a Chevrolet Lu-
mina that Kozloski frequently
drove. The car was parked in a
dirt lot about 100 feet from the
apartment.
A state police forensic services
unit was expected to process the
scene.
Charges are expected upon the
completion of the investigation.
No injuries were reported.
Luzerne County Court records
indicate Kozloski was twice
found guilty of harassment in
2010, and pleaded guilty and was

by the slashing.

While she spoke to friends a fight
broke out and a woman slashed
Mieczkowski in the face and
neck multiple times with a box
cutter. Wells was dragged out of
the bar and beaten, suffering a
broken jaw.
Wells was the only one who
came to her aid, she said.
If it wasnt for him, I wouldnt
be right here in front of you be-
cause I would have been killed,
said Mieczkowski.
She thanked her family, rela-
tives, friends and strangers for at-
tending.
They werent coming out to
look at my face, she said. In-
stead they came to offer support
and demand that the person who
wounded her be held account-
able.
Let Jen get justice for whats
been done to her, said her cou-
sin Denise Pearson of Nanticoke
before leading the crowd in The
Lords Prayer.
Mieczkowskis 25-year-old sis-
ter Ashlee organized the vigil
and said she was planning a ben-
efit to be held at the Pennsylva-
nia Army National Guard armory
in Nanticoke.
My family is ridiculously
close, said the younger sister.
She and her sister were raised
by a single mother who imparted
a lasting piece of advice: She
said, At the end of the day, all
you have is each other.
The younger Mieczkowski ex-
pressed frustration with the lack
of an arrest.
My sister identified someone
Monday night and still nothing
has been done, she said.

HOUSTON Year after agonizing year,
Andre Johnson was asked about his goals for the
season and his answer never changed.
I want to get this team to the playoffs, he
would say.
Now, after years of often terrible seasons,
Johnson and the Texans have reached that goal.
They will face Cincinnati onSaturday inthe fran-
chises first playoff game.
This is Houstons 10th season, and Johnson
has been there for all but Year 1. That makes him
the longest-tenured player on the roster and the
only one whos been in Houston longer than
coach Gary Kubiak.
The receiver is the face of the franchise. When
NEWORLEANS Sean
Payton cautioned against
assuming that a game featur-
ing prolific quarterbacks Drew
Brees and Matt Stafford would
escalate into a shootout.
If Payton really believes
that, it is only because coach-

U P N E X T
WILKES-BARRE TWP. Af-
ter losing his last three starts and
giving up 14 goals in the process,
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins goaltender Brad Thiessen
made a play that wouldve
doomed most
netminders.
It occurred
during a Pen-
guins power
play in the third
period of Fri-
days 4-3 win
against the
Rochester
Americans.
With the game
tied 2-2, Thies-
senhadthe puck
stripped from
him as he tried
to play it in the
corner. Roches-
ter scored a
shorthanded
goal to go up 3-2, but amazingly
Thiessen wasnt rattled.
Maybe it was a good test for
me, he said.
Thiessen came up big later in
the night when he stopped Roch-
esters Mark Voakes in the eighth
round of a shootout to give the
Penguins the victory.
The win improves the Pen-
guins to 19-11-1-4 and provides a
much-needed confidence boost
after Wednesdays 5-1loss to Nor-
folk.
Aside fromthe actual win itself
and Thiessens strong play, Fri-
days game provided a boost in
another area that had been lack-

Everyone from Joe Paterno to Tom Brady had
heard the news. Some 24 hours after the word had
first spread, Penn State finally acknowledged it,
too.
Bill OBrienis officiallythenewleader of theNit-
tany Lions.
I am thrilled to be the head coach of the Penn
State football program, OBrien said Friday night
in a school release. I cannot tell you howexcited I
amto get started, meet the team, meet the football
alumni and meet all of the people that make this
university so special.
As head coach of this special football program,
it is my responsibility to ensure that this program
represents the highest level of character, respect
and integrity in everything we do. That includes
my coaching staff, our players and everyone in-
volved in the football program. There is tremen-
dous pride inPennState football and(I) will never,
ever take that for granted.
OBrien, the NewEngland Patriots offensive co-
ordinator, arrived in State College shortly before 7
p.m. Friday on a university plane and was taken to
the athletic departments offices at the Bryce Jor-
dan Center to finalize the deal. Terms were not im-
mediately available.
An introductory press conference is scheduled
for11:30 a.m. today at the Nittany LionInninState

into the game Friday night and
PittstonArea hadmore turnovers
three than points one.
And the Patriots were in a 14-
point hole as well.
Yet throughit all, PittstonArea
had a last-second opportunity to
force overtime that ended in a
physical battle under the basket
and some jeers for the officiating
crew.
Instead, Crestwood hung on
for a 52-50 Wyoming Valley Con-
ference DivisionI boys basketball
victory.
Pittston is a very good team
and good teams will make a run,
especially in their own gym,
Crestwood coach Mark Atherton
said. We expected themto make
a run. What I liked about tonight
is they made a run and we didnt
back down and came back.
Pittston Area (1-1 Div. I, 8-2
overall) trailed 15-1 at the 2:21
mark of the first quarter. The Pa-
triots, though, jabbed their way
back to a 44-44 tie with 4:39 to
play. Crestwood (1-1, 4-7) then
took the lead for good, 46-44,
when John Fazzini hit a spinning
drive.
The Comets had the lead up to
four when Pittston Areas Steve
Stravinski dropped in a three-
pointer with 26 seconds remain-
ing, a shot fromthe top of the key
that looked short at first. After a

Austin Daye (5), Greg Monroe (10) and Tayshaun Prince (22).
pected except maybe at 120 with
(Tyler) Lutecki losing to (Cough-
lins) Ed Ciprich, Woodall said.
Pittston Area was outdone in
the semifinalist category and
team points race by Wyoming
Valley West, which advanced
sevengrapplers tothesemis and
leads the Patriots in the team
scoring by 5.5 points, 70-64.50.
Coughlin is third with 59 points,
while Lake-Lehman (57.50),
Meyers and Hazleton Area (54)
round out the top five.
Valley West may have scored
morepoints if Derrick Simms and
Brandon Baird, both top seeds,
werent scratched on Thursday
due to injuries.
Obviously were missing two
good guys here with injuries, but
its nice to see other guys step-
ping up, Spartans coach Steve
Barber said. Right now, we just
got tohopethat wecameaway on
top in the semis and if we do
that again maybe we can make a
run at (the team championship).
The Spartans semifinalists
are James Wright (106), Travis
Roper (120), Kyle Krasavage
(126), Nathan Cheek (132), Brian
Dwyer (160), Tom Smulowitz
(170) and Trey Cowman (182).
Wright, a freshman, was cred-
ited with a win over the only No. 1
seedtofall onFridaywhenhede-
feated Meyers Sean Bergold 7-1
in the quarters.
Hes a freshman and came up
with a lot of heart and doesnt
give up, Barber said of Wright.
Crestwoods Jake Geroski
(145) pulled off an upset of his
own when he knocked off No. 2
seed Zach Macosky of Dallas in
the quarters when he scored two
points for an overtime win. Every
other No. 1 and No. 2 seed got
through to the final four of their
respective brackets.
Every team advanced at least
two wrestlers to the semis, which
means every team will go home
with a minimum of two medals.

Dallas takes down Hazleton Area
The Times Leader staff
Crestwoodfoul shot andtwofree
throw misses, Pittston Area got
one last crack to tie.
Steve Sklanka, who had a
team-high 17 points, drove the
lane only to find it clogged. He
forcedupanoff-balanceshot that
Stravinski rebounded. But Stra-
vinski fell backward over a play-
er while trying to toss in the re-
bound.
The ball went to 6-foot-4 soph-
omore Mason Gross, who was
too far underneath the basket
and being harassed by a few
Comets to the point where many
Patriot fans thought he was be-
ing fouled prior to the buzzer
sounding.
Eachquarter was goingdown
and going down, said Fazzini,
who scored a game-high 19
points. We were getting to the
foul line, a couple makes and a
couple misses so it made it real
interesting. Definitely, that last
play of the game was really
nerve-wracking.
The game marked the fourth
consecutive time the teams
played games decided by three
points or less. Crestwood has
won three of them.
Stravinski finished with11and
Jordan Houseman scored 10 for
Pittston Area.
Theyre a lot of good things
to take out of this, Pittston Ar-
ea coachAl Kiesinger said. The
last time we were down we
looked like deer in the head-
lights. Tonight, instead of hav-
ing that look again we battled
back.
We went possession by pos-
sessionandmade some big plays
to get back into the game.

The Dallas School Board has
its monthly meeting on Monday,
but appointing a head football
coach wont be on the agenda.
Dallas Superintendent Frank
Galicki said Friday that the
school district hasnt even begun
interviewing candidates for the
position that has been held by
Ted Jackson for the past 27 years.
The school board voted 9-1 dur-
ing its Dec. 12 meeting to open
the position.
Galicki said 14 people, includ-
ing Jackson, applied for the posi-
tion. Deadline for applying was
Monday. He said the school dis-
tricts goal is to interview all 14
next week. All have been contact-
ed, but interviews havent been
set up for each candidate.
Alot depends on the availabil-
ity of all the people, Galicki said.
The interviews will be con-
ducted by Galicki, high school
principal Jeffrey Shaffer, athletic
director Nancy Roberts and
board member Dr. Richard Cos-
lett. Coslett is the chairman of
the boards student activities
committee. Any of the eight oth-
er board members can also at-
tend the interviews.
After Monday, the school
boardwont meet againuntil Feb.
6 for a work session and Feb. 13
for its regular board meeting.
However, that wont preclude
having a coach in place before-
hand.
Galicki said an interim ap-
pointment can be made before
the choice is finalized at the
board meeting.
Dallas had a similar situation
in appointing its boys basketball
coach this season. The board ac-
cepted the resignation of Ted
Jackson Jr., Jacksons son, at its
Nov. 14, four days before the offi-
cial start of basketball practice.
Doug Miller was hired for the po-
sition before being officially ap-
provedat theDecember meeting.
Jackson has a 227-83-3 record
at Dallas. His team finished its
third consecutive 10-win season
as he earned Wyoming Valley
Conference Big School Coach of
the Year honors from his peers.
However, Dallas has spent the
past four years on probation by
the District 2 Athletic Commit-
tee, the local extension of the
PIAA. The first two were for a
bench-clearing fight in the 2008
season opener against William-
sport. The probation was extend-
ed for 2010 and 2011 for an inci-
dent in a 2010 game at Tunkhan-
nock where some Dallas players
urinated on tennis courts at half-
time.
Jackson was suspended by the
athletic committee for the entire
2010seasonfor the Tunkhannock
incident, a penalty later reduced
to four weeks during an appeal
hearing in front of the PIAA
Board of Directors.

PITTSBURGH Brandon
Dubinsky had a goal and an
assist, Henrik Lundqvist made
37 saves and the surging New
York Rangers beat slumping
Pittsburgh 3-1 on Friday night.
Brad Richards scored his 15th
goal of the season for New York
and Derek Stepan took ad-
vantage an embarrassing gaffe
by Penguins goalie Marc-Andre
Fleury to notch his ninth goal
as the Rangers won their fourth
straight.
New York improved its posi-
tion atop the Eastern Confer-
ence by riding Lundqvist, who
has won six straight starts. He
held the Penguins in check with
a series of flashy glove saves
and dug in when Pittsburgh
turned the pressure up late.
Devils 5, Panthers 2
NEWARK, N.J. Ilya Ko-
valchuk had two third-period
goals to lead the New Jersey
Devils to a 5-2 victory over the
Florida Panthers Friday night.
The win enabled the Devils
to snap a two-game losing
streak, while the Panthers lost
for the second straight night,
after falling in overtime to the
New York Rangers on Thurs-
day.
Kovalchuk broke a 2-2 tie at
11:40, when he made a nice
rush up the ice and took a re-
turn pass from Patrik Elias,
who was playing in the 1,000th
game.
Kovalchuk added an empty-
net goal in the closing minute,
his 14th goal of the season.
Hurricanes 4, Sabres 2
RALEIGH, N.C. Eric Staal
had a goal and two assists to
lead the Carolina Hurricanes
past the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 on
Friday night.
Chad LaRose scored the
go-ahead goal with 11:50 left,
Justin Faulk also scored and
Brandon Sutter added an emp-
ty-net goal for the Hurricanes.
They never trailed in winning
for the fourth time in seven
games. They have earned
points in three of four in their
attempt to escape the Eastern
Conference cellar.
Jason Pominville was cred-
ited with a bizarre goal and
added an assist, and Thomas
Vanek also scored for Buffalo.
The Sabres have lost nine of 12.
Cam Ward made 31 saves.

ing for the Penguins the power
play. In the last 10 games coming
in, the Penguins power play con-
nected only twice in 39 chances.
On Friday they scored twice in
six power play chances.
Its been a difficult task of
late, said Eric Tangradi, whose
power play goal late in the third
tied the game and forced over-
time. It felt good tonight and
now we have to get it going con-
sistently.
After falling behind 1-0 late in
the first period, the Penguins
took a 2-1 lead into the third on
goals from Jason Williams and
Alex Grant, who connected with
a slapshot from the point on the
power play.
Tangradi said the 1-0 Roches-
ter lead at the end of the first pe-
rioddidnt shake the Penguins as
they headed into the locker
room.
We had 21 believers in the
room that we could win, he
said.
The Americans took the lead
back in the third period with a
shorthanded tally that occurred
after Igor Gongalsky stole the
puck from Thiessen as he tried
to play it in the corner. Gongal-
sky dished across ice to Maxime
Legault who put home the shot
from the slot to make it 3-2.
It seemed to be a pivotal play
for the Americans, but it was ac-
tually Thiessen who turned the
mistake into a positive.
Whatever happened I had to
put behind me, he said. I had
to focus on the next shift, the
next shot.
With less than seven minutes
remaining, the Penguins turned
to their power play once again.
During a scrum in front of the
Rochester net, the puck rolled
into the slot where Williams
raced in and blasted it on net.
Tangradi, who was posted in
front, deflected the shot past
Americans goaltender Drew
MacIntyre to make it 3-3 and
force overtime.
After a scoreless overtime
that saw Thiessen stop the only
three shots of the period, the
Penguins outscored Rochester
3-2inashootout togaintheextra
point.
Geoff Walker and Bryan Lerg
scored in the opening two
rounds, followed by Tangradis
goal to start the eighth.
It was the second shootout of
my career, Tangradi said. Guys
said go five-hole, but I saw
glove.
Then it was up to Thiessen,
who stopped backhander from
Voakes to give the Penguins the
win. On the night Thiessen stop-
ped 27 of 30 shots and turned in
the type of performance that his
teammates have grown accus-
tomed to.
For three years hes saved us
in a lot of hockey games, Tan-
gradi said. Its great to see him
get a win like this.
Even Thiessen was visibly re-
lieved in the locker room after
the game, cracking a smile as he
spoke about the teams perform-
ance.
It was nice to get a win, thats
for sure, he said. I was able to
give the guys a chance to win,
thats my job.
I was more in control of my
game and seeing the pucks bet-
ter. It felt good.
The Penguins and Thiessen
will get another test tonight
when they host the Syracuse
Crunch.

ached an agreement with
OBrien on Thursday night.
The school, however, did not
announce the hiring until 9:46
p.m. Friday, hours after the rest
of the sports community had
confirmed it including
OBriens Hall of Fame predeces-
sor.
I understand Bill OBrien has
been named head coach and I
want to congratulate him on his
appointment, Paterno said in a
statement to The Associated
Press provided by his family. I
dont know Bill, but I respect his
coaching record, and I ampartic-
ularly pleasedwe share a connec-
tion to my alma mater, Brown.
Despite recent commentary
to the contrary, Penn State foot-
ball has always been about more
than winning, said Paterno,
who has been battling lung can-
cer since he was fired by Penn
State onNov. 9 inthe wake of the
Jerry Sandusky scandal. I am
hopeful this traditionwill contin-
ue.
Beyond the coincidence of
OBrien and Paterno both grad-
uating from Brown University,
Paterno famously backed out of
an agreement to coach the Patri-
ots in 1972, choosing to remain
at Penn State. He stayed on as
headcoachuntil he was removed
by the universitys board of trust-
ees in the middle of his 46th sea-
son.
Tom Bradley took over as in-
terim coach of the Lions for the
rest of the season. He and the
rest of Paternos staff remained
in limbo as of Friday night.
Acting athletic director Dave
Joyner met with the coaching
staff at the teams LaschBuilding
head quarters on Friday after-
noon. After meeting for roughly
half an hour, coaches began to
file out, saying they could not
comment on the situation.
Not now, an emotional Jay
Paterno told reporters before
getting into his car. Let me just
get rolling and get home see
mydog, mywife, mykids. Thank
you guys. Have a good weekend.
Im sure youll be busy.
Official confirmation from
Penn State came after a full day
of reports of OBriens impend-
ing hire.
Imsad to lose him. I told him
that, Patriots owner Robert
Kraft told the Boston Herald Fri-
day morning. We have a philos-
ophy in our company, that if any-
one has an opportunity and we
cant match it we did have the
ability to deny him under our
contract, but this is one of the
great college coaching positions.
Billy is a very high-quality
guy. Hes got integrity, hes hon-
est andImsadtosee himgo. But
I think (Penn State has) chosen
wisely.
Kraft said he expects OBrien
to remain on staff with the Patri-
ots until the end of their season.
New England is the AFCs top
seed in the NFL playoffs and has
a first-round bye this weekend.
The Patriots divisional round
game is Jan. 14, the same week-
end Penn State is scheduled to
host a majority of its 2012
recruiting class on campus.
If the Patriots were to make it
to the Super Bowl, OBrien
would be working both jobs
through Feb. 5. National signing
day is Feb. 1.
Recruiting is one of many hur-
dles facing OBrien as he takes
over for Paterno, who won an
NCAA Division I record 409
games.
A few high-profile Penn State
lettermen are not pleased with
the two-month process that ulti-
mately selected OBrien, who
has no head coaching experi-
ence.
One of those former players,
star linebacker LaVar Arrington,
directed his displeasure at the
universitys boardof trustees and
general leadership.
Alums, I will always love you
and the Penn State I knew, Ar-
rington posted Friday on his
Twitter account. But until
theres a new board and new
leadership they can have their
corrupt/disgusting school that
theyve created.
Im done. All my PSU stuff
will be down before OBriens in-
troduction! We are! No more for
me!
Later in the day, Arrington
backpedaled a bit on his Wash-
ington, D.C., area radio show,
saying that he had been writing
out of frustration.
Despite a high-profile job with
one of the NFLs most successful
franchises, OBrien was not a
well-known name before accept-
ing the Penn State job. Indeed,
the most visible moment of his
career came last month when he
was involvedinashoutingmatch
with Brady, the Patriots future
Hall of Fame quarterback, on the
sideline after an interception.
Hes been a great coach and
friend, Brady said Sunday after
the Patriots final regular season
game, when reports first sur-
faced that OBrien was a serious
candidate for the Penn State job.
We have a great relationship
probably a very unique relation-
ship in that we communicate all
the time.
I always enjoy working with
him and hes done an incredible
job with this team and this of-
fense. He expects nothing less
than our best.
OBrien has spent the past five
seasons with the Patriots, also
coaching the teams wide receiv-
ers and quarterbacks before be-
ing appointed offensive coordi-
nator in 2011.
Before that, he spent the first
14 years of his coaching career in
the college ranks 12 in the ACC
with Georgia Tech, Maryland
and Duke.
In addition to his model char-
acteristics as a man and a teach-
er, hes all about producing win-
ners, anddoingsothe right way,
said Joyner, who led the search
committee that selected
OBrien. He will embrace tradi-
tion, demand excellence and
pursue success with honor in
every phase of our program.

Chicago police are investigat-
ing an allegation that Cubs short-
stop Starlin Castro sexually as-
saulted a woman last fall.
The 21-year-old Castro has not
been charged with a crime, and
police otherwise declined com-
ment.
Its an ongoing investigation,
Officer John Mirabelli said Fri-
day.
Castro was unavailable for
comment, but his attorneys said
the allegation is false.
We are aware of certainallega-
tions that have been made
against our client, Starlin Castro.
We have thoroughly investigated
this matter, and we are confident
that these allegations are base-
less, attorneys Jay Reisinger and
Michael Gillespie said in an
emailed statement. Given the
sensitivenatureof this matter, we
cannot comment any further.
Cubs general manager Jed
Hoyer declined to discuss the al-
legation in any detail.
While an allegation like this is
something we take very serious-
ly, dont have enough informa-
tion to make any further com-
ment or answer any questions at
this time, he said.
It is a very much in a fact-find-
ing mode onthis whole thing and
really to comment on any part of
this matter involving Starlin
would be really inappropriate be-
cause the investigation is incom-
plete, Hoyer added.
Castro was chosen to the All-
Star teamlast year in his first full
major league seasonwhenhe bat-

MIAMI Don Carter, the
bowling great with the unortho-
dox style who flourished as a
genuine sports celebrity during
the games goldenage onTV, has
died. He was 85.
Carter died at his home in
Miami on Thursday night, the
Professional Bowlers Associ-
ation said Friday. He recently
was hospitalized with pneumo-
nia complicated by emphysema.
Carter, known as Mr. Bowl-
ing, was the games original su-
perstar. He became his sports
most recognizable name at a
time when alleys were thriving
across the country and bowling
was starting to assert itself as a
fixture on television. Carter was
a leading force in the formation
of the PBAin1958 and became a
charter member of the PBAHall
of Fame in 1975.
He hada style all his ownas he
took his steps to the line. With
his stooped shoulders and
cocked elbow, he made a deep
knee bend as he unleashed the
ball, pushing it toward the pins.
Carter helped transform a
sport that had been a blue-collar
recreational activity. He ruled
the lanes with the likes of Dick
Weber, Ray Bluth, Pat Patterson,
Carmen Salvino and Billy Welu.
But Carter was clearly at anoth-
er level. His name might not cast
quite the light as such sports lu-
minaries thenas MickeyMantle,
Johnny Unitas or Arnold Palm-
er, but it was close.
Don was the greatest bowler
of his era, Bluth said. There
was no one like him.
He also did something that no
one in baseball, football or golf
ever did. He became the first ath-
lete in American sports history
to sign a $1 million marketing
endorsement contract, with
bowling ball manufacturer Ebo-
nite in 1964.
It is impossible to put into
words what Don Carter meant
tothe PBAandthe sport of bowl-
ing, PBA Commissioner Tom
Clark said. He was a pioneer, a
champion and will never be for-
gotten.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Carter
bowledfive800series, 13perfect
games and six 299s in sanc-
tioned play. He practically held a
monopoly on bowling honors.
He was voted Bowler of the Year
six times (1953, 1954, 1957,
1958, 1960, 1962).
He served as the PBAs first
president. He was inducted into
the AmericanBowling Congress
Hall of Fame in1970. Carter was
selected as the greats bowler in
history in a 1970 Bowling Maga-
zine poll. He ranked second to
Earl Anthony in the magazines
poll in 2000 of the 20 greatest
bowlers of the 20th century.
Don was one of the greatest
bowlers who ever lived, but he
had some other things that
made him great, Salvino said.
He was a great athlete. He won
two 100-game tournaments in
one year and I dont know how
many other bowlers could take
that kind of punishment.

LAS VEGAS A judge
agreed Friday to postpone a jail
sentence against Floyd May-
weather Jr. in a Las Vegas do-
mestic violence case, allowing
the undefeated boxer to make a
Cinco de Mayo fight against an
as-yet unnamed opponent.
The ruling by Justice of the
Peace Melissa Saragosa to allow
Mayweather to begin his 90-day
stint on June 1 came with the
fighters manager and support-
ers in the courtroom as a de-
fense lawyer cited the economic
boost that Las Vegas could get
from the bout.
Mayweather, meanwhile,
waited in the lobby of a nearby
building to hear whether Sara-
gosa would make him immedi-
ately begin serving the three-
month sentence she imposed
when the boxing champion
pleaded guilty last month to a
charge that he attacked his ex-
girlfriendwhile twoof their chil-
dren watched in September
2010.
Saragosa said she was swayed
by the last-minute plea from
Mayweathers lawyer, Richard
Wright, to let Mayweather post-
pone jail time so he can train to
fight on the May 5 date his pro-
moters promised months ago to
pay-per-view television and the
MGM Grand Garden Arena in
Las Vegas.
Wright said Mayweather
wasnt trying to avoid the sen-
tence, and emphasized the po-
tential economic benefit of at-
tracting fight fans and hotel
guests to Las Vegas for a May-
weather fight. The lawyer esti-
mated that Mayweathers last
seven fights in Las Vegas gener-
ated a combined $1 billion in
business to the community. He
projected the economic boost
from a May 5 fight at more than
$100 million.

theTexans wereat their worst, he
was one of the only recognizable
names on the team.
Johnson was long considered
one of the NFLs top receivers,
and many questioned why he
chose to remain with the Texans
when they were never even close
to reaching the postseason.
Some also wondered if this
team would ever make the play-
offs. Johnson wasnt among
them, thoughhe never thought it
would take this long.
I always thought positive
about it, he said. Its been some
frustrating times and Ive had
people ask me why didnt I leave?
WhydidI stay?I just wantedtobe
a part of something special. I
wanted to be here when the Tex-
ans got in the first playoff game.
Johnson had chances to leave,
but signed two contract exten-
sions. The second one will keep
himwith the teamthrough 2016.
Everyone in the organization is
happy the 30-year-old receiver is
finally getting his playoff shot.
Think about how long hes
stuck it out here in Houston,
said Kubiak, who was hired in
2006. Alot of guysinthisdayand
time move along, go somewhere
else, lose their patience. Andre
has never done that. Hes been a
rock around here.
Johnson has had a tough sea-
son, dealing with injuries to both
hamstrings. The seven games
hes played this season are a ca-
reer low. He finished with more
than 1,200 yards receiving the
each of the past three seasons, in-
cluding a career-high 1,575 in
2008, but had a career-worst 492
this season.
He played for the first time
since Dec. 4 last week against the
Titans, but was limited to about
15plays. Kubiaksaidhell beback
at full speed Saturday and ex-
pects himto be key in the game.
It all worked out, Johnson
said. I didnt get to play much
this year, but tobe able tobe back
healthyandget readyfor theplay-
offs is pretty exciting. So Im go-
ing to go out there and give it all
Ive got.
Bothquarterbacks inthis game
share none of Johnsons history.
Houstons T.J. Yates and Cincin-
natis Andy Dalton are both roo-
kies, the first time two rookies
QBs have faced each other in a
playoff game.
Yates, the former third-strin-
ger, was thrust into the job after
season-ending injuries to Matt
Schaub and Matt Leinart.
That makes it even more im-
portant for the guys that have put
in the work on this team, the
Andre Johnsons that have been
here for forever and stuck with
this organizationandwaitedfor a
moment like this, Yates said. It
makes you want to work harder
for them just so it can make the
moment for themmore special.
Cincinnati last reached the
playoffs in 2009, but has been to
the postseasonjust three times in
the last 21 years. Their last post-
season victory came at the end of
the 1990 season with a 41-14 win
over the Oilers.
AFC
for an NFL playoff game likely
because no game has ever in-
volved two quarterbacks coming
off seasons quite so good.
Brees set single-seasonNFLre-
cords for yards passing (5,476)
and completion percentage
(71.2) this season, while Stafford
joined Brees among two of only
four quarterbacks ever to pass for
more than 5,000 yards in a sea-
son.
Moreover, Brees and Stafford
will be in ideal passing condi-
tions inside the Superdome.
Brees saidhecouldunderstand
why an offensive feast could be
expected when the Lions return
to the Crescent City for the sec-
ond time this season, but he also
agreed with his coach that as-
suming how a game will play out
can be risky.
Obviously I know how explo-
sive Detroit is offensively, Brees
said. I also know that I think we
feel like were playing (good)
football as a team and as an of-
fense.
But you know, it seems like,
typically, when you get weeks
like this where everybodys hyp-
ing up one side of the ball ... and
kind of predicting it to be a shoo-
tout or whatever, the defenses
are off kind of quietly in the cor-
ner making sure they come out
with their best performance.
The previous high over-under
was 57whenBrees Saints hosted
Arizona in the 2009-10 divisional
round, andit was the over that hit
by 2 when the Saints rolled to a
45-14 victory.
The record for points scored in
aplayoff gameis 96a51-45Ari-
zona victory over Green Bay, also
in the 2009-10 season, the week
before that same Arizona team
took its Big Easy beating.
Statistically, there are plenty of
reasons to anticipate the Saints
and Lions racking up loads of
yards, if not points. When these
two quarterbacks last shared the
field in a Sunday night game on
Dec. 4, Stafford completed 31 of
41 passes for 408 yards, while
Brees connected on 26 of 36 for
342 yards. New Orleans won 31-
17, but Detroit might have scored
more if not for a rash of penalties,
including several offensive pass
interference calls and a personal
foul. Stafford threw an intercep-
tion and was sacked three times
and the Lions also had one field
goal blocked.
We cant shoot ourselves in
the foot. We cant hurt ourselves
in penalties, Stafford said this
week. We had over 100 yards of
offense called back. Those yards
would have led to points. ... We
did some things that were really
unfortunate. You do that against
another teamthat is playinggood
football, its going to be tough to
win.
After that game, Brees contin-
ued on his record-smashing pace,
while Stafford finished with
5,038 yards, behind only Brees
and Brady (5,235).
The defenses of both clubs fin-
ished near the bottom of the
league in yards allowed De-
troit 23rd and the Saints 27th.
REMATCH
PITTSBURGH Steelers
running backs coach Kirby Wil-
son was hospitalized after sus-
taining burns to his arms and
legs in a house fire early Friday
morning.
Authorities say the fire broke
out around 3 a.m. in Wilsons
home in Seven Fields, a north-
ern Pittsburgh
suburb. Fire-
fighters told
borough man-
ager Tom
Smith the blaze
started in the
kitchen and
Wilson suffered
moderate to
severe burns.
Wilson, 50, was taken to a
Pittsburgh hospital for treat-
ment. His condition was not
immediately known but the
injuries were not thought to be
life-threatening. He will not
travel with the team for Sundays
wild-card game in Denver.
Wilson is in his fifth season as
running backs coach, joining the
staff when head coach Mike
Tomlin was hired in 2007. Wil-
son has been instrumental in the
development of running back
Rashard Mendenhall, who
gained over 1,100 yards in both
the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Roethlisberger to start
A sprained left ankle wont
keep Steelers quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger out of Sundays
AFC wild card game in Denver,
but one could sideline starting
center Maurkice Pouncey.
Pouncey was listed as ques-
tionable on the Steelers injury
report and was unlikely to play
after missing practice Thursday
and Friday because of increased
soreness in his left ankle. The
Pro Bowl center played in the
regular season finale against
Cleveland last week after mis-
sing two games but complained
of problems with the ankle fol-
lowing Wednesdays practice.
Doug Legursky likely will
start in Pounceys place as he did
in last years Super Bowl when
Pouncey was sidelined with an
injury to the same ankle. Legur-
sky, who missed last weeks
game at Cleveland with a left
shoulder injury, practiced at
center this week in Pounceys
place.
Legursky has started three
games this year at right guard,
five at left guard and two at
center.
Its no different for me, he
said. I practice each week as if
Ill play multiple positions any-
way, so its not a problem.
Broncos S Dawkins out
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Brian
Dawkins biggest contribution in
the playoffs will be with his
talking and not his tackling.
Hampered by a neck injury,
the Denver Broncos emotional
leader hasnt practiced in weeks
and was ruled out Friday for the
first-round game against the
Pittsburgh Steelers this week-
end.
Still, Dawkins will be heard,
even if its screaming from the
sideline instead of barking out
plays inside the huddle.
His voice has already ener-
gized the Broncos (8-8) after
Dawkins delivered a rare speech
following a 7-3 loss to Kansas
City. He emphatically urged his
teammates to forget about back-
ing into the AFC West crown
and focus on the Steelers (12-4).
Hell be effective, one way or
another, Pro Bowl cornerback
Champ Bailey said. Hes the
leader of this team.
Oakland raids Packers for GM
OAKLAND, Calif. The
Oakland Raiders have reached
an agreement with Green Bay
Packers director of football oper-
ations Reggie McKenzie to be-
come the Raiders general man-
ager.
The Raiders will hold a news
conference on Tuesday to dis-
cuss the hiring.
ESPN first reported the deal.
Raiders owner Al Davis had
effectively served as the teams
general manager until his death
in October.
McKenzie played linebacker
for the Raiders from1985-88. He
joined the Packers as a pro per-
sonnel assistant in 1994.
Tice to head Bears offense
Bears LAKE FOREST, Ill.
The Chicago Bears have promot-
ed offensive line coach Mike
Tice to offensive coordinator,
replacing the departed Mike
Martz.
The move on Friday comes
less than a week after the Bears
completed a disappointing 8-8
season. They parted with Martz,
who had an expiring contract,
on the same day general manag-
er Jerry Angelo was fired.
This will be the first coor-
dinator job for Tice, who just
completed his second season as
the Bears line coach. He spent
the previous four seasons as an
assistant in Jacksonville and was
the head coach in Minnesota for
four years after serving as the
Vikings offensive line and tight
ends coach.
The Bears will look for a new
offensive line coach, although
Tice will continue to have a
heavy hand in that area.
NFL to use video for injuries
NEW YORK The NFL will
begin using video monitors on
each teams sideline this week-
end to help treat injuries.
In a memo sent to the 32
teams and obtained by The
Associated Press, the league said
the monitors would be used to
allow the medical staff to re-
view the network video of any
play during which a player was
injured.
Only video of a play during
which a player was injured or
appears to be hurt can be
viewed. A league official must be
notified when the monitor is
used.

NEW YORK Calvin John-
son took one look at the voting
and smiled broadly.
Thats sweet, he said, as he
studied The Associated Press
2011 NFL All-Pro Team. Thats
one of the best honors you can
have other than being a Super
Bowl champion. To be anAll-Pro
is a tremendous honor.
Johnson and Vikings defen-
sive end Jared Allen were the
leading vote getters, each just
one vote shy of being a unani-
mous pick.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers
made the team for the first time,
easily beating Drew Brees of the
New Orleans Saints, 47
1
2 to 2

2.
Rodgers led Green Bay to a
league-best 15-1 record this sea-
son, after taking the Packers to
the Super Bowl title last Febru-
ary.
I am a competitor, Rodgers
said. I care desperately about
winning and doing everything I
can to contribute.
But personally, speaking for
my own self, you learn exactly
what you need to do to be able to
balance the pressure from the
outside with the pressure from
within, that you put on yourself
to be successful.
Johnson and Allen received 49
votes Friday from a nationwide
panel of 50 media members who
regularly cover the NFL. It was
the fourth All-Pro Team for Al-
len, who led the league with 22
sacks, one-half short of the re-
cord. Johnson made it for the
first time after hauling in 96
catches for a 17.5-yard average
and scoring 16 touchdowns.
One rookie made the squad:
Arizonas Patrick Peterson was
selected as the kick returner. Pe-
terson tied an NFL mark when
he ran back four punts for touch-
downs, including a 99-yarder in
overtime to beat the Rams.
Another cornerback, Darrelle
Revis of the Jets, was behind
Johnson and Allen with 48 selec-
tions. Ravens outside linebacker
Terrell Suggs got 47.
One oddity: Both first-team
guards, Carl Nicks and Jahri
Evans, were from the Saints.
That hasnt happened since
1953, with Detroits Lou Creek-
mur and Dick Stanfel.
Inthe All-Probackfieldjoining
Rodgers, whose quarterback rat-
ing of 122.5 broke Peyton Man-
nings single-season mark, were
Maurice Jones-Drew of Jackson-
ville, LeSean McCoy of Philadel-
phia, andfullbackVonta Leachof
Baltimore.
Record-setter Rob Gronkow-
ski was thetight end. ThePatriot
set the single-season mark at his
position with 1,327 yards receiv-
ing. Teammate Wes Welker
(league-high 122 catches) was
the other receiver.
Pittsburghs Maurkice Poun-
cey was the center, with Phila-
delphias Jason Peters and Cleve-
lands Joe Thomas at tackle.
Joining Allen on the defensive
line were ends Jason Pierre-Paul
of the Giants, and tackles Haloti
Ngata of the Ravens and Justin
Smith of the 49ers who also
placed third at DE; the 49ers
used him at both spots.
The linebackers were Suggs
and DeMarcus Ware of Dallas on
the outside, Patrick Willis and
NaVorro Bowman of the 49ers
and Derrick Johnson of the
Chiefs on the inside. Bowman
and Johnson tied with 16 votes,
half of Willis total.
Revis and Charles Woodson of
the Packers were the corner-
backs, with Troy Polamalu of the
Steelers and Eric Weddle of the
Chargers at safety.
Both kickers were 49ers: pla-
cekicker David Akers and punter
Andy Lee.

Some jobless benefits cut
A revamped law governing Penn-
sylvania unemployment benefits may
come as a surprise to the newly laid off
-- severance payments above about
$18,000 will offset unemployment
benefits until the severance is used up.
The law will affect those being laid
off this year.
The changes, signed by Gov. Corbett
on June 17, are designed to shore up
the states unemployment-benefit trust
fund, now nearly $3 billion in the hole.
The law aimed to cut unemployment
spending by $140 million a year by
curtailing eligibility, reducing the num-
ber of weeks of benefits and making
people use severances before they get
benefits.
IRS: 17% of taxes unpaid
The Internal Revenue Service is
estimating that people and businesses
underpaid their taxes by $450 billion in
the most recent year studied.
That means they failed to send in 17
percent of the taxes they actually owed.
The data is for 2006, the most recent
tax year for which data is available.
The IRS estimates it was owed nearly
$2.7 trillion in taxes that year.
After IRS audits and other enforce-
ment efforts, non-compliance shrank to
14 percent, leaving the final amount of
unpaid taxes at $385 billion.
House loses in Nevada
Nevadas largest casinos suffered a
combined $4 billion loss in 2011.
A report released Friday by the state
Gaming Control Board shows 256
casinos grossed $1 million or more in
gambling revenue for the fiscal year
that ended June 30.
Combined, they had total revenue of
$22 billion and posted a net loss of $3.9
billion from the previous year.
In 2010, the largest casinos had a net
loss of $3.4 billion on total revenues of
almost $20.9 billion.
Total revenue includes money spent
by patrons on gambling, rooms, food,
beverages and attractions.
Markets end week mixed
Stocks closed mixed Friday despite a
surge in hiring last month that pulled
the unemployment rate to its lowest
level in nearly three years.
Prices were mixed all day as traders
fretted about Europes ongoing debt
drama.
Falling stocks slightly outnumbered
rising ones on the New York Stock
Exchange.

WILKES-BARRE The Greater
Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business
and Industry laid off three more em-
ployees Friday as part of what its
calling a reorganization.
Gone are Senior Director of Eco-
nomic Development John Augus-
tine, Membership Services Coordi-
nator John Maday and an adminis-
trative assistant who was not identi-
fied by a source who spoke on the
condition of anonymity.
Augustine confirmed he was let
go Friday morning and said he was
proud of what he accomplished in
his 10 years at the chamber.
I appreciated the time I had at
the chamber and Im happy with
what Ive been able to accomplish
for both the chamber and the com-
munity. I look forward to staying
here, raising my family here and
finding future employment in the
valley in which I grew up.
Trish Wilk, an administrative as-
sistant, answered the phone at the
chamber office but directed all calls
to Conrad Schintz, the chairman of
the chambers board of directors. A
message left with Schintz and an-
other left for Maday were not re-
turned on Friday.
In a release sent late Friday after-
noon, Schintz said the reorganiza-
tionwas a recommendationof a spe-
cial committee and approved by the
full board.
In addition to the job cuts, the
panel recommendeda change inthe
organizations structure and a com-
prehensive overview of its financial
situation.
We believe this new structure
most appropriately positions the or-
ganization for a much stronger fu-
ture, Schintz said.
Just four years ago, the chambers
staff numbered over 30. The organi-
zation is nowdown to fewer than10
employees and still operating with-
out a president. Todd Vonderheid
left the chamber in November after
giving the board nearly a full years
notice to find a replacement.
Schintz saidthesearchis ongoingto
replace Vonderheid, who was paid
$184,847 and received $29,143 in
other compensation, according to
the Chamber of Business andIndus-
trys 990 Formfiled with the IRS for
2009.
Recently Schintz said there were
six finalists, including two from
within. He also said he doesnt ex-
pect anyone to be hireduntil at least
February.

reorganizes,

SAN JOSE, Calif. As
millions of Americans des-
peratelysearchfor jobs, Tesla
Motors Arnnon Geshuri is
racing to fill some. Hes the
point manfor a company ona
hiring spree, looking for top-
flight engineers, vehicletech-
nicians, sales experts and
even an executive chef.
Tesla is ramping up to
manufacture its all-electric
Model S sedan at the former
NUMMI au-
to plant,
now re-
named the
Tesla Facto-
ry, in Fre-
mont, Calif.
It currently
has 1,400 employees world-
wide, a figure expected to
roughly double by the end of
2012 and double again by the
end of 2013.
But landinga jobat Tesla is
not easy its looking for
the best of the best.
Geshuri, 42, has a track re-
cord for assembling great
teams and putting people to
work. His reputation as a Sil-
icon Valley legend in the
realm of staffing and recruit-
ing was cemented at Google,
where he oversaw a recruit-
ing staff of 900 that fielded
2.5 million job applications
in one year.
Most of the 217 jobs cur-
rently listed on Teslas web-
site are for design and manu-
facturing engineers based in
Palo Alto and Fremont. But
the company is also looking
for an assistant store manag-
er in Newport Beach, Calif.;
an intern in Zurich; vehicle
technicians in Paris, Hong
KongandTokyo; andanexec-
utive chef. As Teslas brand
has grown in the wake of its
successful IPO in June 2010,
resumes have poured in. On
average, Tesla receives 300
applications for every job
opening.
Tesla ups hiring even as manufacturing slumps
By DANA HULL
San Jose Mercury News

W
ASHINGTONMost of the jobgrowthin2011was
concentratedinindustries that tendtopaylowwag-
es and skimpy benefits. But toward the end of the year,
andespecially inDecember, hiringbecame broader-based
and included more higher-paying jobs.
That trend bodes well for the economy if it holds up.
Its clear that the skilled end of
the labor market has heated up,
said Paul Ballew, chief economist
at Nationwide.
Two-thirds of the1.6 million jobs
created last year were in five indus-
tries: healthcare; hotels andrestau-
rants; retail; manufacturing; and
temporary help. Except for manu-
facturing, most of the jobs in those
sectors dont pay a lot.
Average hourly wages in the lei-
sure andhospitality industry, made
up mostly of hotel and restaurant
workers, was $13.31 in December,
for example. That compares with
$23.93 in manufacturing. Average
hourly retail pay was $15.97.
In a healthy sign for the econo-
my, job creation picked up in the
second half of the year in a few in-
dustries that generally pay higher
wages, including: oil and gas drill-
ing; information technology; and
professional services such as ac-
counting, architecture and consult-
ing.
Oil and gas extraction added
25,000 jobs last year. Accounting
and bookkeeping services added
61,000 jobs.
Throughout 2011, hiring was
weakest in financial services, infor-
mation and government. Govern-
ments cut 280,000 jobs. The infor-
mation industry shed 36,000.
The information category is a
hodgepodge that includes publish-
ing, the movie industry, broadcast-
ing, telecommunications and some
online companies such as Web
search engines.
LABOR FORCE Continuing hiring trend includes positions that pay higher wages

Workers continue the ongoing construction of the new Gateway Center subway station in downtown Pitts-
burgh. A burst of hiring in December pushed the unemployment rate to its lowest level in nearly three
years, giving the economy a boost at the end of 2011.

Yes, I know it's
January and
we're supposed
to be building
snowmen and
having snowball
ghts in cold
blustery winds.
Instead, there's a
list of tee times
today at the golf
course and busi-
ness is slow at
the car wash. So
what the heck is
going on this
winter? One fac-
tor at play is La
Nina, a cold
water phase in
the Pacic.
Another is hav-
ing a negative
phase with what
is called the
Arctic
Oscillation, when
the jet stream
blows more west
to east. Both
tend to favor
warmer winters
with below aver-
age snowfall. It
will be interest-
ing to see how
much longer this
can go on, but,
remember, we
might have to
pay for this later.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible along a frontal boundary
from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the southern Appalachians. Another frontal boundary will pro-
duce some light snow from the Upper Midwest, through the northern Great Lakes and east to north-
ern New England. Snow showers and a little rain will be possible over the Central Rockies.

ime and tastes are funny things,
rather like the iconic Baby New
Year himself, daffy and dapper in
top hat and pinned cloth diaper. No
time like clean-calendar season for us
to reflect upon the timeless domestic
decisions we made five or 10 years ago
that suddenly have us questioning our
own sensibilities. Or very sanity.
Humble piece of advice: If youre
hanging at home while simultaneously
staring forlornly into the face of the
future and lamenting some silly call
you made in the past, dont act rashly.
Wait it out. Your time will come.
Welcome, 2012. Im proud to let yall
know my time finally has. Patience has
paid off, my pals, just when I thought
Id never see the day.
Which day is that? (You might ask.)
Well, none other than that glorious one
on which my stars or actually my
colors have aligned with what the
leading authorities have decreed in
and it, and suddenly I can credibly
say it: Yeah, thats right. Im cool. On
trend. My house is hot, baby.
Today, I am most pleased to an-
nounce that my almost-famous orange
countertops they that have many
times over nearly been traded for gran-
ite or soapstone or whatever budget-
minded imitation had captured my
imagination for a spell, usually after Id
returned from someone elses kitchen
are officially in.
At least I think I can safely conclude
as much.
Except dont call them orange.
Say Tangerine Tango.
Thats the reddish orange our
friends at Pantone, the worlds leading
authority on color, have decreed is the
Color of the Year for 2012. How can
this be? (You also might ask.) When
2012 has only just begun? Well, thats
just how it works, you see. Not for us to
ask why but merely to get on board.
The brains behind highly revered
institutions such as Pantone dont ride
out a year, watch what were doing and
then say what the hot color is. Hardly.
Instead, they pre-declare said hot color,
even before the ball drops, daring any-
one to speak differently. The goal, near
as I can tell, is to work us all into a
frenzy for new stuff in a new year.
Genius, right?
Remember how robins-egg blue
paired with luxe brown was all the rage
what? six or seven years ago? Well,
if we bought in (or bought out the
store), we now have some work to do
and dough to drop, not only on Tanger-
ine Tango canister sets, cups and sau-
cers and creamers but on toaster ovens
and, of course, Kitchen-Aid stand mix-
ers. (Because it makes much economic
sense to replace that monstrously ex-
pensive countertop appliance every
time a color whim changes, right?)
Scalawags.
Not I. No way. This year I rest on my
laurels. I sit back and stare proudly at
my orange-and-red kitchen yes, those
two can play well together and credit
myself for prudence and prescience.
And not only that, but a similar author-
ity on color, The Paint Quality Insti-
tute, has placed green pretty much
any form of it among the top two
trendy colors, too. Darned if Green
Energy isnt the color I last year
picked to color over my sunny-yellow
walls. (Not that I actually believe yel-
low equals yesterday, but that was
the bill of sale.)
Read it and weep, ye who chose
differently.
Oh wait. I think I might weep. My
time might be now, but next year, and
long after, Ill be living in house over-
board. I have a mere 51 weeks to bask.
Then again, were all on the same
ship this year, destination doomsday,
arent we? Nothing like hurling yourself
into the chic part of the bow just as the
gangway is lifting.
Happy new year/last year, everyone.
Make it a wildly colorful one.

When should
you repair and
when should
you replace?
With the
economic
downturn keep-
ing people in their homes longer
and money ever tighter, it is a
choice more homeowners are
considering these days.
For example, with winter
coming, and concerns about
energy costs mounting, many
cash-strapped homeowners are
trying to figure out howto re-
duce the $1,900 per year the
Department of Energy says the
typical family spends on util-
ities.
Anewfurnace or energy-
efficient windows, though both
very obvious ways to lower
heating costs, may not be in the
budget.
In the meantime, caulking
around windows and doors
doesnt cost that much and can
significantly reduce the flowof
cold air into the house. Opening
the curtains, shades or blinds on
a sunny winters day can add
warmth to a room.
The Home Builders Institute
of the National Association of
Home Builders suggests a few
other inexpensive ways, in-
cluding applying weather strip-
ping around windows and doors,
changing the filter in the fur-
nace, using draft dodgers inside
exterior doors, and installing
programmable thermostats to
control when the furnace goes
on and off.
After surveying thousands of
its readers on the matter, Con-
sumer Reports maintains that if
your appliance is eight or more
years old, usually it makes sense
to buy a newone.
If you have a favorite high-end,
older appliance, you may want
to repair it. Consider replacing a
newer model if it has been re-
pair-prone. But skip any repair
that costs more than half the
price of a newproduct, the mag-
azine staff recommends.
The magazine found that its
readers sometimes began the
repair process but stopped in
midstreamin frustration. That,
too, can be a costly process,
because a repair shop will still
charge you even if you change
your mind and decide to buy a
newwhatever.
AARP has millions of older
members on fixed incomes. It
recommends considering the
50 percent rule, which finan-
cial experts have long advocated
as a gauge when determining
the cost-effectiveness of replace-
ment versus repair.
Those experts say that if a
repair was estimated to cost 50
percent or less than the amount
you paid for the item, it was
usually better to have it repaired.
AARP, however, suggests that
the 50 percent rule should be
based on replacement value, not
original purchase price, since
many consumer items have
dropped in price over the years.
For major items such as auto-
mobiles, consumers should first
calculate the estimated current
market value or resale value
instead of the original purchase
price.
If your mechanic says the car
will cost $6,500 to repair, and its
trade-in value after that is
$1,000, the choice is obvious.
Take the cost of the repair and
put it down on a newcar.
Always check each and every
product you own for a warranty.
Conventional wisdommaintains
that a product usually starts
causing problems the day after
the warranty expires, but just in
case something is covered, you
should knowit in advance.
Consumer Reports also rec-
ommends that unless youve
bought a pricey, high-end model,
it might not pay to professional-
ly repair many out-of-warranty
products that are more than
three years old.
Regular maintenance extends
the life of just about anything.
When dust and dirt clog furnace
filters, the air flowis constricted
and the furnace must work har-
der. Afurnace that does not
work efficiently will cost you
more in energy, and its parts are
more likely to wear out quickly.
One of the factors governing
the decision to repair or replace
is life expectancy of the product.
Most refrigerators last 15 to19
years. Unless the fridge has been
a lemon since the day it came
into the house, the newer it is,
the more consideration should
be given to repairing it.
Freezers, which last 20 years
or so, should be given the same
consideration.
An important consideration is
energy-efficiency, however.
Energy Star-rated refrigerators
produced after 2001use 40 per-
cent less energy than those
manufactured before that date,
and that might have a bearing on
your decision.
Saving $100 a year might not
be enough to justify spending
the kind of money that you
would spend for a refrigerator
that would meet your familys
needs.
It all comes down to what you
can afford and what meets your
needs, meaning both tests need
to be satisfied, not one or the
other.
The same applies to windows,
which weve just caulked and
weather-stripped to help reduce
heating and cooling costs.
Adding insulation to the
weight pockets and repairing the
sash, as well as a stormwindow,
can help without breaking the
bank.
The experts seemto agree
that it is probably wiser to re-
place electronics than to repair
them.
Technology changes rapidly,
and the DVDplayer you bought
when they first came out may
cost many times more than ones
selling today, and parts and even
repair people may no longer be
readily be available.

Look for old hardcovers. They
have sturdier outer cases and,
usually, high-quality pages.
Outdated textbooks have lots of
photos and illustrations.
Look for books with supple,
non-brittle pages, with no mold,
mildew or musty odor.
Library sales are a good source
of old books, especially nonfiction

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

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: A few
days ago, my mom
told me that if it
wasnt for me, she
and my dad would
be divorced. I feel
so guilty about this,
knowing that Im the
reason my parents are unhappy.
I barely slept the night my mom
told me this, but actually, it all makes
sense. Now I know why my parents
yell at me for no reason. Abby, please
help me. How do I tell my mom how
it made me feel?
Feels Guilty in Georgia
Dear Feels Guilty: Your mother
was wrong to say that you are the
only reason she and your father have
stayed married. They are together for
reasons of their own that have little
or nothing to do with you.
Before discussing this with your
mother, it might help to talk about
what happened with another adult
relative you trust. However, if there is
no one else, clip this letter, show it to
your mother and tell her you wrote it.
Dear Abby: I am a 20-year-old wom-
an with a problem Im not sure how
to solve. I am 30 pounds overweight.
My mom and I have been walking to-
gether for years, talking and enjoying
each others company as we go.
For a while, we were both losing
weight consistently as a result of our
walks. But since my parents divorce
three years ago, Mom has had to
work full-time and isnt able to walk
with me as often.
I want to continue walking to lose
weight so I can be healthier and feel
better about myself. But I feel I will
be betraying my mom by not includ-
ing her. I dont know how shell feel if
I continue to walk without her. What
should I do?
Stepping Lightly
Dear Stepping Lightly: Get out
there and continue walking. Exercise
with your mother on weekends if
shes available, and encourage her to
do some walking on her own during
her lunch hour. The only thing you
should NOT do is quit walking be-
cause you feel guilty.
Dear Abby: I have been married to
Daryl for 10 years. He has never
really hit the mark in what I want
someone who is mature, stable, pre-
dictable and has an appropriate per-
spective on life. Daryl depends on the
outside world to make him feel good
about himself, and when that doesnt
happen, he drinks and smokes pot.
I love exercise and the outdoors.
He doesnt like hiking. In fact, hes
afraid to challenge himself physically
in even the smallest way.
I have to decide whether to stay
and make do or move on. How do I
make that choice? (Im over 40.)
Looking For Better, Laguna Hills,
Calif.
Dear Looking: Tell your husband
what you have told me. That
will give him a chance to shape
up and at least try to be more of
the man you thought you married.
(Im giving you the benefit of the
doubt and not assuming you felt
you were compromising when you
accepted his proposal.) Daryl
deserves to spend his life with
someone who values him for who
he is, not someone who feels shes
making do. If it doesnt work,
then you should BOTH move on.
DEAR ABBY

rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When
you were younger, you would
have fits of fatalism in which you
started feeling that things would
never go your way again. Now
youre optimistic, and your faith
will increase daily.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
deal with information well. Youll
glean what is essential to you
and move on, letting what you
have learned filter down on its
own into your subconscious,
where it begins to grow roots.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
means to travel may not be
available now, but you can still
travel with your mind through
books, movies and your own fan-
tasies. Your own imagination will
bring you the most luck.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
are committed to turning what-
ever happens to you into some-
thing positive. And what already
seems pretty good will be even
better when you go forward with
this intention.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Need and
love are entirely different reali-
ties. When you want a person
but dont need that person, the
relationship will be more func-
tional and loving.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
drop everything to help some-
one. Your love makes it easy
for you to think of the other
persons needs without worrying
about what youll get out of the
deal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
stressors in your life will come
to bear on your ability to resist
temptation. The best way to stick
to your plans for yourself is to
reduce your stress.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
cure your doldrums by diving
into new fields. You are apt to
delve into esoteric subjects off
the beaten path of your day-to-
day business.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You know better than to try to
be reasonable when one of your
passionate whims takes hold.
Creative impulses have led you
to much more interesting places
than any accurate road map ever
could have.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You look forward to spending
time with a certain someone.
Your interaction is becoming an
important part of your day. You
sense theres something valuable
in every exchange.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have no intention of keeping
your excellent taste to yourself.
Youll express yourself and let
your style be known. Someone
may imitate you, which is the
highest form of flattery.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
mood can be as changeable
as the sea, though only a fel-
low Pisces would be able to tell,
because youre so good at hiding
the way youre really feeling.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 7).
Youll get bored of always seeing
exactly where youre headed.
The path will wind, and youll
enjoy the adventurous ride in
this. A handsome paycheck
comes this month. Youll find
Februarys new alliance both
pleasing and motivating. March
and April bring good fortune to
your family that will eventually
rub off on you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 20, 1, 22, 49 and 19.

HE TIMES LEADER
This may come as a surprise to some
motorists, but Chevrolet, a company cele-
brating its 100th anniversary this year, has
only now figured out how to make a good
subcompact.
Just as frustrating that it took the com-
pany an entire century to bring us this new
car called the Sonic is that it wasnt even
a gradual effort.
The Sonics predecessor, the Aveo, was
so hastily conceived and executed, it was
like the forgotten book report written on
the bus to school. And the small Chevys
before it are more noteworthy for the
pockmarks of chronic failure than the few
and negligible triumphs.
So thank the confluence of a post-bank-
ruptcy General Motors Co. and the tight-
ening of fuel economy regulations that
forced the company to make a small car
that people might actually want to spend
money on.
But be careful how you spend that
money, as it seems not all Sonics are cre-
ated equal.
Like its competitors, which include
Hyundai Motor Co.s Accent and Ford
Motor Co.s Fiesta, the Sonic comes in
both sedan and hatchback configurations.
The darling of the two styles is the
sedan. Its better largely because it feels
quieter and more refined than its spunkier
hatchback sibling and compares well
even beyond this cheap-seats segment of
vehicles. Its degree of quiet motoring is
worthy of a larger and more expensive
class.
The Sonic sedan also wears the tidy
proportions of a subcompact car better
than the hatchback. Both Sonics are the
same from the front doors forward; the
look is chunky-handsome and offsets the
cars diminutive nature.
But the Sonic hatchbacks design is
curt when viewed from the rear. Like an
Angry Bird that was transmogrified
into a little car, the five-door model has
squat proportions that seem a bit off when
compared with the more rakish yet ovoid
dimensions of peers such as the Fiesta and
Accent.
Inside, the Sonic is a little inconsis-
tent in layout but excellent in craftsman-
ship. The plastics are nicely textured to
offset what could have been an otherwise
cheap look. The buttons and switch gear
on the center console are well-organized
and provide an excellent tactile feedback
when operated.
The seats, especially the heated
leatherette units that come on the loaded
$18,555 Sonic LTZ sedan I tested, are
nicely padded and bolstered. Interior
space is about the same as in Hyundais
Accent and greater than what the Ford
Fiesta offers. The only place things get
tight is rear legroom, but only if the front
and rear passengers are all 6 feet tall.
Although most of the cabin is laudable,
the Sonics oddly packaged instrument
cluster became a focal point of ire during
my time with the car.
The cluster is dominated by a large
analog tachometer (largely useless in Son-
ics with the automatic transmission), to
the right of which sits a small digital clus-
ter. Crammed into that smaller space is
the speedometer, fuel gauge, compass,
odometer, trip computer and gear indica-
tor.
Chevy cites the design of a motorcy-
cles cluster as the inspiration, which
frankly seems a bit silly. Its like design-
ing a great laptop computer and then giv-
ing it an iPhone keyboard as inspira-
tion.
Next time use a cars layout as inspira-
tion. The Sonic comes with computer,
power windows and locks, air condition-
ing, a solid stereo with CD, auxiliary jack
and three months of free XM satellite
radio, split fold

ing rear seats and heated side-view

Powering the base Sonics is a 1.8-
liter, four-cylinder unit that makes
138 horsepower and 125 pound-feet
of torque. Its a solid motor and does
its job without drama or complaint,
though gas mileage for Sonics with
the base five-speed manual transmis-
sion is an unimpressive 26 miles per
gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the
highway.
A six-speed automatic will run you
about $1,100 more and its mileage is
worse, getting only 25 mpg in the city
and 35 on the highway. The Sonic LTZ
I tested had the automatic, and over
326 miles I averaged 26 mpg.
The transmission certainly tried to
get the best mileage though, some-
times to a fault. Upshifts would come
too soon and subsequent downshifts
would lag until the last possible
moment.
Buyers with a little more change in
their pocket can spring for the optional
turbocharged engine. An extra $700
gets you a sedan or hatchback with a
1.4-liter, turbo four-cylinder unit.
Horsepower stays the same at 138, but
torque jumps 23 pound-feet to 148,
giving you more mid-range power to
play with when you need it.
This engine also gets better gas
mileage, with the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency rating the six-speed
manual transmission that comes with
the turbo engine at 29 mpg in the city
and 40 on the highway. Do yourself a
favor and spring for this turbo option;
more fun and better gas mileage is like
bacon that reduces cholesterol.
A six-speed automatic will be avail-
able on the turbo next spring, and at
the risk of having my car-guy member-
ship revoked, Id say consider waiting
for that one. The manual that Chevy
paired with the turbo just isnt fun to
drive; the clutch has a high release
point and the shifter is imprecise and
sloppy.
Shifting issues aside, either Sonic
handles the road well. The suspension
is nicely tuned, the steering provides
great feedback and the brakes are firm.
The hatchback cant dance like a Ford
Fiesta or Honda Fit, but its certainly
more lively than the Hyundai Accent.
Yet as an overall product, a means of
pure conveyance, Id still lean toward
the Accent as the most complete hatch-
back in the segment. It may not shine
in a particular category, but it just does
everything well.
The conversation changes a bit
when considering subcompact sedans.
Its here that the Sonics quiet cabin
and stout exterior design combine with
its relative enthusiasm for the road,
especially the turbo, to push it above
the Accent and Fiesta sedans.
Chevy finally has a tiny winner. And it
only took a century.
