Duryea Mayor Keith Moss
cant say enough about the work-
ers hired through a National
Emergency Grant deployed in
the past month to repair damage
to public property caused by the
2011 twin floods of Hurricane
Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
Theyre doing a fantastic job,
Moss said. Theyre hard work-
ers.
The Luzerne/Schuylkill Work-
force Investment Boardsecureda
$1,050,255 grant that temporari-
ly expands the services of a pro-
gram that employs people who
have lost jobs due to large, unex-
pected economic events.
Moss said about eight workers
have been in Duryea cleaning
storm drains and the river bank
where the flooding occurred.
State Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avo-
ca, said the program has many
benefits.
Not onlydidthesefunds allow
for unemployed workers to en-
hance their work skills, their ef-
forts significantly contributed to
the flood recovery efforts in
many communities, including
the outstanding work in Duryea
that I recently witnessed, he
said.
In early December, Moss said,
the work force board hired two
crews with 22 workers in Schuyl-
kill County and three crews with
34 workers in Luzerne County
that have begun projects in four
municipalities.
Plans call for hiring a total 100
workers who will work in munici-
palities that have requested as-
sistance. To date, 11 municipal-
ities in Luzerne County and sev-
en in Schuylkill County submit-
ted multiple projects where help
is needed.
According to Trina Moss, WIB
project coordinator, people who
lost jobs directly because of the
floodreceive priority onthe work
crews. Also eligible are people
who have been unemployed be-
cause their workplace moved
from the region or individuals
who exhausted unemployment
benefits. The grant provides tem-
porary employment up to a maxi-
mum of 1,040 hours or six
months on the job.
Moss said workers can utilize
the services of the Pennsylvania
CareerLink system. Once regis-
tered, participants have access to
workshops that can help them
update resumes, investigate
training programs and search for
employment.
Moss said three of the first 34
participants hired for crews in
Luzerne County already have
found full-time jobs and left the
program. An additional 33 work-
ers have been assigned to pro-
jects in Pittston, Nanticoke and
West Pittston.
In Fairmount Township, work-
ers havehauleddebris fromalong
several streams and reopened
drainage ditches. Crews inButler
Township have cleaned debris
along the banks of the Little and
Big Nescopeck creeks.

NANTICOKE Luzerne
County Community College
Trustee Susan Unvarsky detailed
the steps being taken to restore
the colleges accreditation with
Middle States Commission on
Higher Education at the Board of
Trustees meetings work session
Monday.
The college was put on proba-
tionary status in 2011.
In her presentation, Unvarsky
said there was only a slimchance
the colleges accreditation would
be fully restored.
There is pressure on accred-
itation agencies by the federal
government to be thorough, she
said.
College President Thomas Le-
ary said of Middle States, They
have the best interests of institu-
tions in mind. We will have a fair
assessment from them.
The progress we will make
will only make this a better insti-
tution, Leary said.
Unvarsky saidthe college, with
the help of several consultants,
was working to provide docu-
mentation in the areas that Mid-
dle States said needed improve-
ment.
General education, which in-
cludes courses such as English,
mathematics and history, was an
area in which the college needed
toprovide additional documenta-
tion. Unvarsky said general edu-
cation was being given more
prominence and it was being tied
to the colleges mission.
Other areas that were of con-
cern to Middle States were as-
sessment of students and institu-
tional assessment. In the area of
administration, Unvarsky point-
ed out three administrative posi-
tions had been added.
The college now has a dean of
Nursing and Health Sciences, a
dean of Institutional Effective-
ness and Assessment and a dean
of Enrollment Management and
Student Development.
She saidfive administrative po-
sitions were eliminated. Accord-
ing to Middle States, she said,
We cut expenses. We erred on
the side of keeping tuition low.
She also said the questions
MiddleStates hadwerenot about
the quality of education or the
skills being taught at LCCC.
She said that the colleges final
report to Middle States was due
on March1. Acommittee will vis-
it thecampus onMarch12and13,
and the final outcome will be pro-
vided to the college on June 28.
Unvarsky said there were four
possible outcomes.
A show cause action notice
was the worst possible action,
and in her opinion unlikely. Mid-
dle States could put the college
on continued probation, which
would show progress by the col-
legebut wouldalsoindicatethere
was more work to be done.
The college could be upgraded
to a warning status, which is
better than a continued proba-
tion. This status wouldrecognize
significant progress with work
needed in a few areas.
Chairman Joseph Rymar
praised Unvarsky for her work on
the accreditation review. Were
going in the right direction.
In regular session, the trustees
approved using a portion of the
Plant Fund Restricted Net Assets
for the completionof the Campus
Building Renovations Project.

PRINGLE -- With an eye to-
wards preparingstudents andthe
community for emerging em-
ployment opportunities in the
Marcellus Shale natural gas in-
dustry, the joint operating com-
mittee of the West Side Career &
Technology Center approved an
agreement that could open up
new sources of grant funding.
Administrative Director Nan-
cy Tkatch said the agreement
with the Susquehanna County
Career and Technology Center
will enable West Side to apply for
grant funds that are currently
available only to schools in closer
proximity to the gas field.
As a career and technology
center, we have an obligation to
our students and our local com-
munity to begin preparing not
only our students but also adults
who have been displaced or are
looking for new positions in this
industry that is just in its in-
fancy, Tkatch said, noting that
the partnership opens up the pos-
sibility of grant funding to help
with training that West Side can-
not currently apply for because
Luzerne County schools arent el-
igible.
We think we can help our
community get ready for these
new opportunities, Tkatch said.
Tkatch and the board also rec-
ognized students who qualified
for state-level competition in Fu-
ture Business Leaders of Ameri-
ca. Several of the students and
their parents were present at the
meeting, at which the board also
approved expenses not to exceed
$4,442 for 14 students and their
advisors to go to Hershey for
state FBLA competition in April.
In other business, the board:
Appointed John Sromovsky
as hall monitor effective Jan. 24
at a salary of $10 for 6.5 hours per
day without benefits.
Accepted resignation letters
from guidance counselor Robert
Yatsko and plumbing/pipe fit-
ting instructor Kenneth Scavone.
Accepted the retirement let-
ter of Elizabeth Wesley, accounts
payable secretary, effective June
29.

TAMPA, Fla. Republican
presidential contenders Mitt
Romney and Newt Gingrich
clashed repeatedly in heated,
personal terms Monday night in
a crackling campaign debate,
the former Massachusetts gov-
ernor tagginghis rival as a Wash-
ington influence peddler, only
to be accused in turn of spread-
ing falsehoods over many years
in politics.
Youve been walking around
the state saying things that are
untrue, Gingrich told his rival
in a two-hour debate marked by
occasional interruptions and fin-
ger-pointing.
The event marked the first en-
counter among the four remain-
ing GOP contenders former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santo-
rum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul
shared the stage since Gin-
grich won the South Carolina
primary in an upset last week-
end.
His double-digit victory reset
the race to pick a rival to chal-
lenge Democratic President Ba-
rack Obama this fall, and the
next contest is the Jan. 31 Flor-
ida primary.
It is a state Romney can ill af-
ford to lose, and he was the ag-
gressor from the opening mo-
ments, saying Gingrich had re-
signed in disgrace from Con-
gress after four years as speaker
and then had spent the next 15
years working as an influence
peddler.
In particular, he referred to
the contract Gingrichs consult-
ing firmhad with Freddie Mac, a
government-backed mortgage
giant that he said did a lot of
bad for a lot of people and you
were working there.
Romney also said Gingrich
had lobbied lawmakers to ap-
prove legislation creating a new
prescription drug benefit under
Medicare.
I have never, ever gone and
done any lobbying, Gingrich re-
torted emphatically, adding his
firm had hired an expert to ex-
plain to employees the bright
line between what you can do as
a citizen and what you do as a
lobbyist.
Romney came back with the
$300,000 that Gingrichs con-
sulting firm received in 2006
from Freddie Mac, the govern-
ment-backed mortgage giant.
And when Gingrich sought to
turn the tables by inquiring
about the private equity firm
that Romney founded, the for-
mer Massachusetts governor re-
plied: We didnt do any work
with the government. ...I wasnt
a lobbyist.
As for the Medicare prescrip-
tion drug benefit, Gingrich ex-
pressed pride in having support-
ed it. It has saved lives. Its run
on a free enterprise model, he
said in a state that is home to
millions of seniors.
At times, the other two con-
tenders on stage were reduced
to supporting roles.
Asked if he could envision a
path to the nomination for him-
self, Santorum said the race has
so far been defined by its unpre-
dictability.
He jumped at the chance to
criticize Romney and Gingrich
for having supported the big fed-
eral bailouts of Wall Street in
2008.
He also said both men had
abandoned conservative princi-
ples by supporting elements of
cap and trade legislation to
curb pollution emissions from
industrial sites. When push
came to shove, they were
pushed, he said.
Paul sidestepped when mod-
erator Brian Williams of NBC
asked if he would run as a third-
party candidate in the fall if he
doesnt win the nomination. I
have no intention, he said, but
he didnt rule it out.
Paul has said he will largely
bypass Florida toconcentrate on
states that are holding caucuses.
Hit at the outset with Rom-
ney charge that he had resigned
Congress in disgrace and went
on to a career peddling his own
influence, Gingrich said two
menwhohadrunagainst the for-
mer governor in the 2008 cam-
paign, John McCain and Mike
Huckabee, had said he couldnt
tell the truth.
The polls post-South Carolina
show Gingrich and Romney
leading in the Florida primary.
Romney began airing a harsh-
ly critical new campaign ad and
said the former House speaker
had engaged in potentially
wrongful activity with the con-
sulting work he did after leaving
Congress in the late 1990s.
Gingrich retorted that Rom-
ney was a candidate who was
campaigning on openness yet
has released none of his busi-
ness records.
He followed up two hours be-
fore the debate by arranging the
release of a contract his former
consulting firm had with the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corp. for a retainer of $25,000
per month in 2006, or a total for
the year of $300,000. The agree-
ment called for consulting and
related services.
Despite Romneys attempts to
call Gingrich a lobbyist, the con-
tract makes nomentionof lobby-
ing.

GOSHEN, N.Y. A sex of-
fender suddenly admitted Mon-
day that he suffocated an aspir-
ing dancer fromTexas he met at
a Manhattan nightclub, stuffed
her body into a laundry basket
and dumped her 85 miles away
in the woods near Scranton.
Accepting a manslaughter
conviction in a plea bargain after
three years of non-cooperation,
Michael Mele said that after he
picked up 25-year-old Laura Gar-
za in December 2008, she be-
came upset in his upstate apart-
ment when she saw a picture of
his girlfriend.
She wanted to leave. I didnt
want to drive back, said Mele,
26. She started to get a little
louder. I put my hand over her
mouth and partially her nose,
and shortly after that, she stop-
ped yelling, stopped moving,
and I realized something bad
had happened.
He said he then panicked.
I put her in a laundry basket
and put a blanket over it, before
carrying the body to his Infiniti
SUV and driving to a remote ar-
ea outside Scranton, where he
dumped it, he said.
Garzas remains werent found
for more than two years.
Orange County Judge Nicho-
las De Rosa agreed to sentence
Mele to 23 years in prison for
manslaughter and at least 16
months more for tampering
with evidence Garzas body.

Luzerne County Interim Manager
Tom Pribula presented his third 2012
budget amendment proposal to county
council Monday: a two percent tax hike
with 56 layoffs.
The scenario would also require
council to use $1.4 million in capital
funding borrowed with interest in the
past to help repay debt. The option may
be doomed for a lack of majority votes.
The council will meet tonight with
plans to hire Robert C. Lawton as the
first permanent home rule manager at a
salary of $110,000, according to the
meeting agenda.
Lawton, of Rio Vista,
Calif., will start work-

discussion, that he will reverse his
stance to provide the majority vote. Bro-
minski said he is not pleased and said he
would pay the tax increase for any prop-
erty owners who genuinely cant afford
it.
The increase would amount to about
$10 more on a property assessed at
$100,000. However, Councilman Rick
Williams, whowas not amongthe six, re-
vealed during a straw vote after 11 p.m.
that he wont support the plan because
he doesnt want to use capital funding to
pay debt.
Williams also said he supports union
workers but believes they need to show
more shared sacrifice. He said union
contracts are loaded with benefits that
are offensive to taxpayers.
A solution was not reached by press
time because no options appeared to
have majority vote. Council Chairman
Jim Bobeck said the council is running
out of time because the amendment
must be adopted by Feb. 15, and he said
he has faith in Pribulas recommenda-
tion.
Pribula said the budget adopted by
commissioners would have resulted in a
lawsuit from court branches.
His latest revision restored funding
for court branches to $21.87 million,
which results in cuts of about $1.17 mil-
lion from 2011.

It remains unknown why the
Luzerne County District Attor-
neys Office withdrew firearm of-
fenses against Michael Kozloski,
who Pittston Township police al-
leged fired a round into a tax of-
fice earlier this month.
Felony counts of discharge of a
firearm into an occupied struc-
ture and illegal possession of a
firearm, and a misdemeanor
count of possession of a weapon
were withdrawnagainst Kozloski
during a preliminary hearing on
Friday.
Kozloski, 28, is facing one felo-
ny count of aggravated assault
and two misdemeanor counts of
simple assault, reckless endan-
germent and possession instru-
ments of crime in Luzerne Coun-
ty Court.
Attempts to reach First Assist-
ant District Attorney Sam San-
guedolce and Assistant District
Attorney Mark Makowski were
unsuccessful on Friday and Mon-
day. Makowski withdrew the
charges via speakerphone during
the preliminary hearing.
Township police allege a par-
tially nude Kozloski fired a round
froma rifle that passed into a pri-
vate residence usedas the munic-
ipal tax office on East Oak Street
on Jan. 7. The bullet struck a
medicine cabinet in a bathroom
and became lodged in a wall, ac-
cording to the criminal com-
plaint.
Kozloski aimed the rifle at an
officer and ejected a live round
fromthe gunbefore he was appre-
hended, the criminal complaint
says.
Police said the incident lasted
about 45 minutes.
Kozloskis attorney, Jonathan
Ursiak, saidafter the hearingthat
he believed his client was under
the influence of a controlled sub-
stance, possibly bath salts, a syn-
thetic drug.
Court records indicate Kozlos-
ki has received leniency in the
past from authorities.
A simple assault charge that
was filedagainst Kozloski by Pitt-
ston police in April 2009 for the
beating of a man with a baseball
bat was amended by the District
Attorneys Office to disorderly
conduct in November 2009,
court records say.
Kozloski was sentenced to
three to 12 months in jail in July
2004 on a criminal conspiracy
charge when Pittston police al-
leged he negotiated a sale price

WILKES-BARRE Attorneys in the
case of a woman who claims she stabbed a
man to death in self-defense said Monday
no plea had been worked out in the case.
Sherry AnnCease, 43, of Prospect Lane,
Plymouth, had been scheduled to appear
before Luzerne County Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley, where attorneys had previ-
ously said Cease would enter a plea agree-
ment.
As of Monday, Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello said no plea had been
worked out, and she was ready to proceed
to the trial tentatively scheduled to be-
gin Feb. 6.
Cease was charged with third-degree
murder and voluntary manslaughter in
November 2010 in the stabbing death of
John Wolfe, 59.
Investigators allege Cease stabbed
Wolfe twice in the chest inside his house
on Prospect Street. He died while being
transported by ambulance to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains
Township. The coroners office ruled his
death a homicide.
Investigators were suspicious of Ceases
claims that Wolfe choked her, despite a
witness who saw Wolfes right hand grip-
ping her throat. Photographs of her neck
more than six hours after the argument
did not depict any injuries, trauma, red-
ness or bruises, state police said.
At the time of Ceases arrest, Wolfes
daughters said they were convinced their
father was a murder victim. They de-
scribed him as a kind-hearted, gentle per-
son who wouldnt hurt anyone.
He also suffered from heart and lung
disease and numerous other medical is-
sues that left himbarely able to walk, they
said.
My father did not have a violent bone
in his body, Tanya Wolfe had said at an
April arraignment. He was the type who
wouldgive youthe shirt off his back or the
last dollar in his pocket if you needed it.
According to court papers, Ceases ne-
phew, Charles Jess Arnold, 25, of Ply-
mouth, told investigators he was with
Cease when they arrived at Wolfes house
after 11 p.m. Nov. 30. Arnold said Wolfe
was drunk when an argument erupted
with Cease about boxes and bags inside
the house.
Arnold and Cease walked up the stairs
to the second floor, where Cease noticed
her television on the floor. She went
downstairs to confront Wolfe, and a sec-
ond argument broke out.
Arnold said he heard Cease yell, Get
away fromme, John. Leave me alone. Ar-
nold walked down the stairs and said he
noticed Wolfe had his hand around
Ceases neck, the complaint says. He said
he then sawCease stab Wolfe twice in the
chest.

WILKES-BARRE Asecondlawsuit has
been filed against a Nanticoke bar and its
owner in which a Mountain Top man says
he was injuredina NewYears Eve incident
that alsoresultedinthefaceof his friendbe-
ing severely slashed.
Ricky Wells says Paul Halliday, owner of
the Prospect Street Caf, was negligent the
night of the attacks in that a security guard
was not properlytrainedanda list of barred
patrons was not kept.
The suit, filed by Wells attorney, David
Selingo, on Monday, seeks unspecified
damages on two counts of negligence.
The suit mirrors that of Jennifer Miecz-
kowski, of Nanticoke, whoclaimedina suit
filed Jan. 13 that the bar and Halliday were
negligent for allowing inside a person who
Mieczkowski claims injured her, despite
the fact the person was under the legal
drinking age, and that employees did noth-
ing to stop the attack.
Mieczkowski alleged a woman slashed
her face after Mieczkowski went to the aid
of a friend who fell off a bar stool.
Wells lawsuit says the tavern had been
the site of nine incidents involving disturb-
ances at or adjacent to the bar, and had re-
ceived16citations over anunspecifiedperi-
od of time prior to the incident.
The suit says Halliday entered into an
agreement with the state Liquor Control
Board that called for himto employ a secu-
rity guard, provide training and maintain a
list of persons who were barred from the
tavern.
Wells alleges in the suit that he and
Mieczkowski were at the tavern to pick up
beer to take out when they saw some
friends and decided to sit down with them
and order a drink.
Mieczkowski, the suit says, noticed a fe-
male friend get knocked off a bar stool, and
went to her aid when she was assaulted by
an attacker.
Wells says in the suit that he tried to in-
tervene but was grabbed by a security
guard and dragged outside, where he was
beaten, causing several injuries.
Apolice report of the incident said Wells
was beaten with a pool cue. The suit says
Wellssufferedafracturedjaw, pain, anxiety,
loss of sleep and depression as a result of
the attack.
The suit alleges negligence in that Halli-
day and the bar failed to have a security
guard undergo proper training and wear
proper clothing. The suit also alleges Halli-
day and the bar failed to enforce the barred
patron list, allowed underage patrons into
the bar, served those underage patrons and
failedtokeepthepremises under control.
Nanticoke Detective Capt. William
Shultz said Monday the police are contin-
uing the investigation and there have been
no newdevelopments.
Halliday could not be reached for com-
ment.
Michael Yelen, an attorney who has pre-
viously represented the bar regarding its li-
quor license, said Monday he had no com-
ment onanypersonal injuryactionandwas
unaware of the newest lawsuit.
Second lawsuit filed against Nanticoke bar
Ricky Wells of Mountain Top says he
was badly beaten in incident in which
woman was slashed.

WASHINGTON
Roe v. Wade is marked
T
housands of abortion opponents
marched to the Supreme Court on
Monday in chilly, soggy weather to
mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v.
Wade, the decision legalizing abortion.
The March for Life has been held
every year since 1974, a year after the
landmark Supreme Court ruling. Its
consistently one of the largest protests
of the year in Washington, although
weather likely kept this years numbers
down a bit.
House Speaker John Boehner told
thousands of people gathered on the
muddy National Mall on Monday after-
noon that hes one of 12 children. He
says his anti-abortion views arent
political; theyre part of his identity.
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
McAdoo pair plead guilty
A 20-year-old McAdoo man and his
father have pleaded guilty to federal
charges of harassing Sarah Palins Alas-
ka attorneys by phone.
Shawn Christy and his 48-year-old
father, Craig Christy, appeared in U.S.
District Court in Anchorage Monday to
enter their pleas to one count each of
making harassing telephone calls. A
sentencing date hasnt been set.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess
last week denied a motion by the Chris-
tys to reassign the case to another
judge. Their only options were to go to
trial or plead guilty.
Burgess rejected binding plea deals
in December that would have allowed
the men to avoid prison time.
Prosecutors say the Christys were
upset about state restraining orders
issued on behalf of Palin, who served
as Alaskas governor from 2006 to 2009
and was the 2008 Republican vice
presidential candidate.
TUCSON, ARIZ.
Giffords saying good-bye
On a bittersweet day for Rep. Ga-
brielle Giffords, the outgoing congress-
woman spent her final hours in Tucson
as the citys U.S. representative, fin-
ishing the meeting she started on the
morning she was shot and bidding
farewell to constituents who supported
her through a long recovery.
Giffords, wearing an olive-green
jacket and a bright turquoise scarf,
spent time Monday at her office with
other survivors of the rampage that
killed six people and injured 13. She
hugged and talked with survivors,
including Suzi Hileman, who was shot
three times while trying to save her
young friend and neighbor, 9-year-old
Christina-Taylor Green. The little girl
died from a gunshot wound to the
chest.
Giffords announced Sunday that she
would resign from Congress this week
to focus on her recovery.
OLYMPIA, WASH.
Gay marriage nears OK
Washingtons Legislature has enough
votes to legalize gay marriage with a
statement from Democratic Sen. Mary
Margaret Haugen Monday who said
she will support the measure, becom-
ing the 25th vote needed to pass the
bill out of the Senate. The House al-
ready has enough support, and Gov.
Chris Gregoire has endorsed the plan.
Washington would become the sev-
enth state to legalize same-sex marriag-
es, following New York, Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Vermont.
Washington state has had a domestic
partnership law since 2007, and an
everything but marriage law since
2009.

as fracking. Many people are pushing

WASHINGTON Eager to
commandcenter stage ina year
dominated by Republican in-
fighting, President Barack Oba-
ma is polishing a State of the
Union address that will go to
the heart of Americans eco-
nomic anxiety and try to sway
voters to give him four more
years. Hewill speaktonight toa
nation worried about daily
struggles and unhappy with his
handling of the economy.
Obamas 9 p.m. EST address
before a politically divided
Congress will be built around
ideas meant to appeal to a
squeezed middle class. He is
expected to urge higher taxes
onthewealthy, proposeways to
make college more affordable,
offer new steps
to tackle a debil-
itating housing
crisis and try to
help U.S. manu-
facturers expand
hiring.
Designed as a
way for a presi-
dent to update
the nation and
recommend
ideas to Con-
gress, the State
of the Union ad-
dress has be-
come more than that, especial-
ly during that one window
when the address falls during
the re-election year of an in-
cumbent. It is televised theater
and Obamas biggest, best
chance so far to offer a vision
for a second term.
He will frame the campaign
to come as a fight for fairness
for those who are struggling to
keep a job, a home or college
savings and losing faith in how
the country works.
The speech will be principal-
ly about the economy, featur-
ing the themes of manufactur-
ing, clean energy, education
and American values.
No matter whom Obama
faces in November, the election
is likely to be driven by the
economy, and determined by
which candidate wins voters
trust onhowto fix it. More peo-
ple than not disapprove of Oba-
mas handling of the economy.
The overarching political
goal is to give voters a contrast
between his vision of a govern-
ment that tries tolevel the play-
ing field and those office-seek-
ers who, in his view, would
leave people on their own.
Without naming them, Obama
has in his sights those after his
job, includingRepublicans Mitt
Romney and Newt Gingrich.
The presidential campaign
sets an unmistakable context
for the speech, right down to
the nations income gap be-
tween haves and have-nots.
Obama will speak a few hours
after Romney, a former gover-
nor and businessman whose
wealth is in the hundreds of
millions of dollars, will release
tax records for 2010 and 2011.

CRUISE SHIP TOLL UP TO15

A
firefighter is lowered onto the Costa Concordia cruise ship from an helicopter, off the tiny Giglio island,
Italy, on Monday. Italian officials said two more bodies have been pulled from the wreckage of the liner that
capsized off the Tuscan coast, bringing the number of confirmed dead to 15. The national civil protection agen-
cy official in charge of the search said divers recovered the bodies of two women from the ships Internet cafe.
TEHRAN, Iran Two Iranian
lawmakers on Monday stepped
up threats their country would
shutter the strategic Strait of
Hormuz, through which a fifth of
the worlds crude flows, in retal-
iation for oil sanctions on Teh-
ran.
The warnings came as EU na-
tions agreed in Brussels on an oil
embargo against Iran as part of
sanctions over the countrys con-
troversial nuclear program. The
measure includes an immediate
embargo on new contracts for
Iranian crude and petroleum
products while existing ones are
allowed to run until July.
Iran has repeatedly warned it
would choke off the strait if sanc-
tions affect its oil sales, and two
lawmakers ratcheted up the rhet-
oric on Monday.
Lawmaker Mohammad Ismail
Kowsari, deputy head of Irans in-
fluential committee on national
security, said the strait would
definitely be closed if the sale of
Iranianoil is violatedinany way.
Kowsari claimedthat incase of
the straits closure, the U.S. and
its allies would not be able to reo-
pen the route, and warned Amer-
ica not to attempt any military
adventurism.
Another senior lawmaker,
Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh,
said Iran has the right to shutter
Hormuz in retaliation for oil
sanctions and that the closure
was increasingly probable, ac-
cording to the semiofficial Mehr
news agency.
In case of threat, the closure
of the Strait of Hormuz is one of
Irans rights, Falahatpishehsaid.
So far, Iran has not used this
privilege.
Mondays EU measure also in-
cludes a freeze on the assets of
Irans central bankas part of sanc-
tions meant to pressure Tehran
to resume talks on its uranium
enrichment, a process that can
lead to making nuclear weapons.
Iran insists its nuclear pro-
gram is exclusively for peaceful
purposes.
For its part, the United States
has enacted, but not yet put into
force, sanctions targeting Irans
central bank and, by extension,
the countrys ability tobe paidfor
its oil.
About 80 percent of Irans oil
revenue comes from exports and
any measures or sanctions taken
that affect its ability to export oil
could hit hard at its economy.
With about 4 million barrels
per day, Iranis the second-largest
producer in OPEC.

CLAY, Ala. Violent weather includ-
ing possible tornadoes roared across the
heart of Alabama on Monday, killing two
people and injuring more than 100 oth-
ers. Searchers went door-to-door calling
out to residents, some of whom lived
along a pathnear the deadly twisters that
devastated the area last year.
The storms flattened homes, knocked
down trees and peeled off roofs in the
middle of the night inthe rural communi-
ty of Oak Grove, which was touched by
both storms. The area near Birmingham
has a history of being a tornado alley go-
ing back decades.
In a sign the state has become all too
familiar with severe weather, officials
had to reschedule a meeting Monday to
receive a report on their response to the
spring twisters.
As dawn broke, residents surveyed the
damage and began cleaning up across
several parts of central Alabama. The
governor declared a state of emergency.
Oak Grove was hit hard in April when
tornadoes killed about 240 people state-
wide, though officials said none of the
same neighborhoods was struck again.
The storm his several miles from the
twister in the spring.
Amber Butler and her family hid in her
sisters brick home as the storm ap-
proached about 3:30 a.m.
I just so speechless now, I dont know
what to do, she said.
Butlers own home was destroyed.
God Bless our friends and neighbors
who have come to help. Weve lost every-
thing we had, she said.
Butler lived near 83-year-old Bobby
Frank Sims, who was killed when his
home was leveled by a tree.
The storm system stretched from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, pro-
ducing hail, strong winds and rain. Pos-
sible tornadoes were reported in Arkan-
sas on Sunday night.
Jefferson County, Ala., where Oak
Grove and Clay are located, suffered the
most damage Monday. In April, about 20
people were killed in the county, most of
themclosetoOakGrove, a sprawling, un-
incorporated rural area.

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court on Monday put the brakes on the
governments use of high-tech monitor-
ing devices to track motorists, ruling
unanimously that police and the FBI vio-
lated the Fourth Amendment by attach-
ing a GPS device to a Jeep owned by a
drug suspect.
The justices all agreed that the govern-
ment needs a searchwarrant froma judge
before it seeks to track a suspect by se-
cretly installing a device on his car.
Theyweredivided, however, as towhat
level of tracking would require a search
warrant. Justice AntoninScalia, speaking
for a five-member majority, said the po-
lice erred because they attached the tiny
device to the vehicle. He said the Fourth
Amendment was intended to protect
against government searches on private
property.
We hold that the governments instal-
lation of a GPS device on a targets vehi-
cle, and its use of that device to monitor
the vehicles movements, constitutes a
search, Scalia said. The government
physically occupied private property for
the purpose of obtaining information.
Such a search is unconstitutional un-
less officers obtained a search warrant
from a judge. Chief Justice John G. Ro-
berts Jr. and Justices Anthony Kennedy,
Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor
joined Scalias opinion.
Meanwhile, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
said he would go further and rule that the
long-term monitoring of the vehicle
with a tracking device violated the
Fourth Amendment regardless of wheth-
er the device was attached to a car. He
took the viewthat the government violat-
ed a motorists right to privacy by track-
ing his movements for weeks on end.
Under Alitos approach, police would
need a search warrant for any use of a
tracking device, whether or not it was at-
tached to the car. Justices Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer and Elena
Kagan joined his opinion.
Supreme Court rules police need warrant for GPS
The justices say government needs a

WILKES-BARRE TWP. A
man facing unrelated trespass
and assault charges was ar-
raigned Monday on allegations
he threatened to stab a woman.
Township police arrested
Lee David Antonik, 35, after
Tracy Bogacki said he threat-
ened to stab her Sunday night
with two kitchen knives inside
her residence on Cherokee
Square.
Bogacki told police she
kicked Antonik out of her resi-
dence after an argument about
household chores.
Antonik was arraigned by
District Judge Michael Dotzel
in Wilkes-Barre Township on
charges of simple assault, ter-
roristic threats and harass-
ment. He was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $2,500 bail.
Court records say Antonik is
facing simple assault and ha-
rassment charges filed by Nan-
ticoke police alleging he beat a
man with a pool stick at the
Prospect Street Caf on Dec.
20. The charges were mailed to
Antonik with a preliminary
hearing scheduled on Feb. 1.
Antonik has been free on
$5,000 unsecured bail on
charges filed by Exeter police
on Dec. 11 that allege he
punched out two windows at a
house trailer in Mount Loo-
kout Park, court records indi-
cate.
According to the latest crim-
inal complaint:
Tracy Bogacki told police
she asked Antonik to leave her
residence after an argument
about doing household chores.
Antonik left and later returned
with beer he consumed while
watching television.
Bogacki told Antonik to
leave a second time and he
chased her to a bedroom in
which she barricaded herself.
Bogacki waited several min-
utes and left the bedroom.
When she ran out of the house,
she said, Antonik jumped on
her, pulling a clump of hair
from her head.
Antonik went into the kitch-
en, grabbed two knives and
told Bogacki, Get the (exple-
tive) away from me before I
stab you, according to the
criminal complaint.
Police said Antonik left the
house and allegedly smashed a
lamp against Bogackis car.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Feb. 1before Dot-
zel.

A man who had been practic-
ing as a veterinarian in the
Wyoming Valley pleaded not
guilty in Oklahoma court last
week to a charge of sodomy in a
case where investigators say he
had sex with a horse.
Thomas Barret Lyle Wilson,
28, with a last known address of
Terrace Street, Wilkes-Barre, en-
tered the plea before a district
judge in Tulsa County.
Wilson, who initially had been
charged on Oct. 21, 2010, is next
scheduled to appear in court on
March 26 on the crimes against
nature charge.
An Oklahoma State University
alumni article identified Wilson
as working as an associate small-
animal veterinarian in Dallas.
A call to the Back Mountain
Veterinary Hospital on Monday
about Wilsons employment
there revealed he is no longer
with the animal hospital, the
woman who answered the phone
said.
It was unclear Monday wheth-
er Wilsonstill has any profession-
al veterinary affiliations inNorth-
eastern Pennsylvania.
Investigators alleged in court
papers that in September 2009
Wilson had been working at the
Legacy Equine Centre in Glen-
pool, Okla., while studying at Ok-
lahoma State University.
Court papers indicate a doctor
working at the center onSept. 14,
2009 was checking on horses at
the clinic via a live video feed
froma barn and observed Wilson
having sex with a horse.
The doctor recognized Wilson
andapproachedhimabout the in-
cident.
Im glad you caught me, Wil-
son allegedly told the doctor, ac-
cording to court papers. I need
help.
Investigators say Wilson grad-
uated fromOSUwith a doctorate
of veterinary medicine in July
2010, and that he was most re-
cently licensed to practice veter-
inary medicine in Pennsylvania.
Wilsons attorney, Robert
Wyatt of Oklahoma City, could
not be reached for comment
Monday. Wilson had previously
beenheldat the Tulsa County jail
on $100,000 bail, but his bail was
posted in December.
Court records indicate Wilson
appeared in court last Thursday
and pleaded not guilty.
Wilson obtained his license to
practice veterinary medicine in
Pennsylvania on Oct. 1, 2010.
That license expires in Novem-
ber, according to the state Board
of Veterinary Medicine.
The license lists no disciplin-
ary actions had been taken
against Wilson.
When applying for a license,
the state requires an applicant to
list any criminal charges, and
asks for signatures of two veter-
inarians recommending the ap-
plicant to receive a license.

BUTLERTWP. -- Butler Town-
ship Supervisor Ransom Young,
57, has announced that he will
seek the Democratic nomination
for representativefromthestates
116th legislative district. That
seat is currently held by first-
term Republican Tarah Toohil, a
fellow Butler Township resident.
Young has been a member of
the Butler Township Board of Su-
pervisors for 28 years and previ-
ously served as chairman.
Im proud of the fact that But-
ler Township boasts one of the
lowest property taxes in Luzerne
County. Iveworkedhardover the
years tomake sure weve kept tax-
es low while still providing the
services the citizens of the town-
ship deserve, Young said in a re-
lease. Despite our low taxes
weve managed to build and
maintain a full-time police force,
provided recreational facilities
and maintained good roads and
invested $17.7 million to update
our sewage treatment plant.
Young owns and operates a
fourth-generation family farm.
He is married to the former Deb-
orah Jones.
Without naming Toohil, an at-
torney, he said he is the best
choice for office because I un-
derstand the issues and will rep-
resent the diverse people of the
116th district, from Huntington
Mills to Hazleton. I am a farmer,
worked blue-collar jobs and I
have balanced budgets in local
government.
His announcement brings to
four the number of state House
seats in Luzerne County that will
have competitive races.
Republican Pete Mailloux,
from Fairview Township, an-
nounced a run for the 121st Dis-
trict, currently represented by
Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre. Republican Rick Arnold,
from Rice Township, launched
his campaign for the 119th Dis-
trict, represented now by Gerry
Mullery, D-Newport Township.
And today, Aaron Kaufer will an-
nounce his candidacy for the Re-
publican nod in the 120th Dis-
trict, representedbyPhyllis Mun-
dy, D-Kingston.

HARRISBURG Challengers
to the newdistrict boundaries for
Pennsylvania state senators and
representatives told state Su-
preme Court justices Monday
that mapmakers cannot possibly
justify their reasons for splitting
some counties and towns, but
lawyers for the mapmaking com-
mission responded that tossing
out its planwouldthrowanestab-
lished process into disarray.
The states high court has the
final say on the new state House
and Senate district maps, which
were produced last month by the
five-member Legislative Reap-
portionment Commission in a
once-a-decade exercise that takes
into account population shifts
under the 2010 Census.
Critics of the maps say they
lean too heavily toward political
party considerations or protect-
ing existing officeholders, in-
stead of common-sense districts
that keep counties, municipal-
ities and wards together as the
constitution requires unless it is
absolutely necessary.
They say that alternative maps
they drew have fewer splits than
the map drawn by the reappor-
tionment commission, and that
the high court should not ap-
prove it this time just because it
has turned away each challenge
to the commissions maps in the
last 40 years.
This court has evidence that
the final plan appears to have
more splits than the (state) con-
stitution allows, said lawyer Da-
vid Montgomery, who was repre-
senting a Harrisburg city council-
woman who wants to run for the
state House.
But lawyers for the commis-
sion said their highest priority
was ensuring that the population
of each district is as equal as pos-
sible also required by the con-
stitution and that the court
has agreed with that standard
since the current systembeganin
1971.
This court is being asked to
reject 40years of jurisprudencein
order tosustainthe appeal, com-
mission lawyer Joseph Del Sole
told the seven justices during
three hours of arguments from
nine challengers.
Further, rejecting this map be-
cause it might be possible to
draw boundaries that split fewer
counties, municipalities or wards
wouldupendtheobjectivetest
the maps approved in the past
that the commission uses nowas
guidance, saidDel Sole, whois al-
so a former president judge of the
lower Superior Court.
Justice Max Baer, one of three
Democrats on the court, ques-
tioned that rationale as suggesti-
ng that the court must not re-
verse a commission map because
it has never reversed one in the
past.
Thats a self-fulfilling prophe-
cy, isnt it? Baer asked.
Its not clear when the court
will rule. Today, candidates can
begin circulating nomination
petitions in order to gather
enough signatures to qualify for
the April 24 primary ballot, and
the deadline to file themwith the
state is Feb. 14.
On Dec. 12, the reapportion-
ment commissionvoted4-1toap-
prove a Republican-crafted map
for the 50 Senate districts and a
map of 203 House districts that
carried bipartisan support.
The constitutionally mandat-
ed commission consisted of the
Republican and Democratic floor
leaders in the two chambers and
a judge appointedby the state Su-
preme Court who serves as chair-
man. That judge, StephenJ. McE-
wen Jr., a president judge emer-
itus of the state Superior Court,
is a Republican. The state Su-
preme Court has a 4-3 Republi-
can majority.
The only dissenting vote was
cast by Senate Minority Leader
Jay Costa, D-Allegheny.

Associated Press
sioners reduced spending in
court branches to $18.9 million,
or a loss of $3.7 million.
County Court of Common
Pleas President Judge Thomas
Burke attended Mondays work
session, sayingthe courts didnot
send a representative last week
because of miscommunication.
Burke saidhe believes his admin-
istration will be able to work
withthe council tomake the bud-
get work without resorting to a
lawsuit. He said the reduction in
thecommissioner-approvedbud-
get would have forced the court
to cut $5 million with union-
mandated raises added in.
The staff reduction under the
proposal presented Monday
would actually total 78, but Prib-
ula said 22 positions have al-
ready been eliminated through
retirements and the elimination
of row officer positions.
Council members expressed
their distaste for the tax in-
crease, but some said they sawit
as the only solution. Council
members engaged in emotional
debate with union representa-
tives. Staff reductions would to-
tal about 100 without the tax in-
crease, Pribula said.
The council also spent nearly
three hours Monday publicly in-
terviewing 16 citizen applicants
for two unpaid seats on the new
Accountability, Conduct and
Ethics Commission.
We have a lot of fine candi-
dates, and we have a lot of talk-
ing to do, said council Vice
Chairwoman Linda McClosky
Houck, who served as modera-
tor. The commission will police
the yet-to-be-adopted ethics
code.
The council must choose a Re-
publican and Democrat citizen
representative.
Five Republicans were inter-
viewed: WilliamCech, Kingston;
Nancy DiGiovanni, Wilkes-
Barre; Margaret Hogan, Exeter
Township; Jennifer Johnson,
Harveys Lake; and Diane Sivelly,
Laflin.
The 11 Democrats: Mario Fio-
rucci Jr., Sugar Notch; Ray Gus-
tave, West Wyoming; Vito A. For-
lenza, Hughestown; Frank Ha-
duck, Bear Creek; Richard Hef-
fron, Dallas; Bruce Simpson,
Wilkes-Barre; Renee Taffera,
Larksville; John Castagna, But-
ler Township; Edward Klem,
Plains Township; John Lenahan,
Kingston; and Constantine Way-
da, Ashley.
In the matter of the county
manager, Lawton is expected to
be in the area, though its unclear
if he will attendthe council meet-
ing, which begins at 6:01p.m. to-
day in the county Emergency
Management Agency building,
Water Street, Wilkes-Barre.
The agenda also says council
members plan to make the fol-
lowing appointments to the
county election board: John C.
Ruckno, Republican, four-year
term; Thomas J. Baldino, Demo-
crat, four-year term; John F.
Newman, Republican, two-year
term, and Barbara J. Williams,
Democrat, two -year term. Coun-
cil also plans to appoint the fol-
lowing assessment appeal board
members, the agenda says: Do-
naldWarren, four-year term; Neil
Allen, four -year term; and Pa-
trick Musto, two-year term.

PLAINS TWP. The state
Commonwealth Court has up-
held a Luzerne County judges
rulingthat deniedpayment of un-
used sick leave to the former zon-
ing and code enforcement officer
for Plains Township.
Richard Piekutowski had filed
the appeal, seeking to recoup
$16,865 for roughly 128 days of
unused sick time he had accumu-
lated when he resigned from the
position in April 2005.
An arbitrator originally ruled
in Piekutowskis favor in 2009,
but the township appealed to the
decision to Luzerne County
Court. A judge overturned the
ruling in December 2010, finding
that Piekutowskis employment
contract with the township did
not provide for that benefit.
In his appeal to the Common-
wealth Court, Piekutowski ar-
gued his contract stated he was
entitled to 15 sick days a year,
which he could accumulate up to
150 days. The contract did not
specifically state whether he
could cash in unused days, how-
ever.
Because it was silent on that is-
sue, Piekutowski argued that cre-
ated an ambiguity. Under con-
tract law, any ambiguity must be
interpretedagainst the township,
thus entitling him to the benefit.
The Commonwealth Court
disagreed. The court saidthe fact
there was no agreement regard-
ing payment for unused sick days
meant no payment was offered,
thereforetherewas noambiguity.
Unused sick
leave payment

WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge on Monday
denied the request of a man
sentenced for his role in a $3.6
million cocaine distribution ring
to have his sentence reduced.
Judge Thomas Burke denied
the request of John Ricci, 38,
sentenced in December to seven
to 14 years in state prison.
Prosecutors say Ricci partici-
pated in the drug ring operated
by members of the Outlaws
Motorcycle Club, which distrib-
uted cocaine throughout the
area beginning in July 2008.
In court papers filed shortly
after his sentencing, Ricci said
he should be given a reduced
sentence because he has no
significant criminal history in
that the drug charges are the
first felony charges he has faced;
and because Ricci has testified
for prosecutors on several occa-
sions at local preliminary hear-
ings and before the statewide
grand jury against a number of
his co-defendants.

I think youre going to see the
establishment go crazy in the next
week or two.
Newt Gingrich
The contender for the Republican presidential
nomination predicted Monday that his momentum
after a weekend victory in South Carolinas primary would rankle certain
members of the GOP hierarchy who dont want to see him win.
Only voters have earned
the right to complain
I
am writing this letter in great hope that
it might resonate in the minds of people
who currently are not voting.
Day after day people from all walks of
life come through the doors of my business
and complain. They complain about the
economy, jobs, corruption and our current
elected officials: senators, congressmen
and the president. They say there is no
hope and that our representatives are all a
bunch of thieves and liars.
This might be true of some, but not all.
The people of this great country have a
duty and responsibility to ourselves and
our families to vote. It is not our privilege
to vote; it is our right.
Now consider if all of those people who
dont vote, would. Do you think that would
make a difference? People talk about term
limits; the people have the ability to create
term limits. If you dont like the job your
representative is doing, vote him or her
out of office.
We have allowed our representatives to
gain so much power by not doing our job.
So I urge you: Take the time. Study the
issues. Look at the candidates. Look at
their records, not paid commercials. And
vote your conscience.
Learn about the system and how it
works.
Please dont say my vote doesnt matter.
Of all Americans eligible to vote, 22 per-
cent are not even registered; of those regis-
tered, only 35 percent vote.
The shame is on us. Whether you are a
Democrat, Republican or Independent,
consider your responsibility to vote. Get
involved and exercise your right.

Obamas pipeline action
ignores good of America
O
nce again our president plays the
blame game.
Looking to forward his re-election
bid and overlooking whats best for our
country, he attempted to stall an important
decision until after Novembers elections.
Congress tried to hold his feet to the fire
by asking for a more timely decision. So
now he rejects the Keystone Pipeline, the
jobs it would provide, the energy resources
it would bring, and he blames the Repub-
licans?
Gas prices have doubled during his
administration because President Obama
lacks the courage to do the right thing. In
this instance, he has sacrificed the good of
the American people to gain support of
far-left, radical environmentalists. He does
not deserve re-election, but, mark my
words, this decision will be reversed re-
gardless of who wins.
He is the most spineless politician to
ever occupy the White House.

I AM not sure if his or her
name was Ms. Garmin, Mr.
Tomtom or Sir Magellan,
but I would like to shake
the hand of the person who
invented the GPS naviga-
tion system!
In recent weeks, I have been in Virginia,
Maryland, Pittsburgh, State College and
Philadelphia. Without any problems, thank-
fully, my GPS unit kept me from getting lost
and successfully guided me to my destina-
tions.
All of us, from time to time, need some
guidance and direction.
Sometimes, all we need is a small comput-
er with great satellite mapping software. In
more serious times of conflict, confusion or
trouble, however, many people will seek
directions and advice from their faith, fam-
ily, friends and other professionals, includ-
ing professionals in the nonprofit, social-
services sector.
One critical and meaningful way people
work together to provide direction to and
improve our community is through the
United Way of Wyoming Valley. Through
the United Way, thousands of people give,
volunteer and advocate to provide the sup-
port and direction that improves our quality
of life.
I am honored and humbled to have been
selected by the United Way Board of Direc-
tors in what was a lengthy national search
for new leadership. It truly will be a privi-
lege to serve the United Way, this wonderful
community we call home and the hardwork-
ing agencies that strive every day to advance
the common good.
Locally and throughout the nation, the
United Way is a well-recognized and trusted
name in the nonprofit sector. While many
people associate the United Way with a fall
fundraising campaign supported by employ-
ers of all sizes, the organization is so much
more. The United Way recognizes that we
are all connected with and dependent on
each other we Live United. The impact
in the community, therefore, is much deeper
and more profound than most realize.
Every day in the Wyoming Valley, the
United Way is engaged in recruiting people
and organizations with the passion and
commitment to get things done. Daily, there
are many discussions and a great deal of
planning taking place to address the most
pressing needs we face. We are working to
create lasting change.
This year, across the country, the United
Way movement will celebrate the 125th
anniversary of its founding. Its mission to
improve lives has not changed in all that
time. Today, the organization is focusing its
direction on the critical issues of education,
income and health the most essential
building blocks for a better quality of life.
Locally, the United Way is committed to
being meaningful and ambitious in reaching
our greatest aspirations. I am truly looking
forward to working with the many dedicated
board members, countless volunteers, gen-
erous donors and the hardworking staff in
the efforts to be an agent of positive change
and to advance the common good.
In talking with people all across our com-
munity, I know that we share similar values
and we all want the same things great
schools, a vibrant local economy, strong
stable families, safe neighborhoods, access
to health care, reduction of the poverty
levels, the ability to age without worry, etc.
These are the types of issues and vision
well be working toward every day at United
Way.
In time, I hope to share stories of the
impact the United Way is making in our
community. The stories are powerful.
We are all travelers on the paths and jour-
neys of life. We are traveling together. A
GPS unit can help, but what we really need
is each other.
The United Way invites you to join us.
There is a lot you can do. You can give, you
can advocate and you can volunteer. That is
what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Bill Jones is the president and CEO of the United
Way of Wyoming Valley. He can be reached at
829-671 1 ext. 230.
A united effort will help strengthen our community

OR ALL THE Harris-
burg politicians who
proclaimtheyredoing
the will of the people,
theres a jarring disconnect
with key reforms and policies
that a majority of Pennsylva-
nians favor.
The many issues that voters
say they want state lawmakers
to address, yet which they
havent, include a crackdown
on illegal handgun trafficking,
levying a tax on natural gas
drillers, campaign-finance re-
form and an end to backdoor
tactics in the Legislature.
But now a Carlisle-based ac-
tivist is trying to connect the
dots between state policy and
what the opinion polls say.

Tim Potts, a cofounder of the
grassroots reform group De-
mocracy Rising PA, has
launched a political committee
that, uniquely, will craft its
agenda based solely upon a
consensus of current public
opinion.
While Potts fledgling Major-
ity Party PA group will raise
campaign funds, its greater im-
pact could be as a bully pulpit.
The initiative could serve as
a way to focus Pennsylvanias
leaders on key public concerns
that, with the state capital
overrun by special-interest
groups, simply do not get ad-
dressed. For one thing, Potts
website themajoritypartypa-
.com will serve as a useful
clearinghouse for any issue
that is polling over 60 percent
in two or more reputable polls.
An inherent problem with
Potts idea is that policymakers
could well be whipsawed by
conflicting voter sentiments.
Nor should elected officials
have to march in lockstep with
fickle or misguided majority
opinion if, in their best judg-
ment, the state needs to be led
in another direction. (A good
example would be recent poll-
ing that shows overwhelming
support for a voter IDlawthat,
clearly, would deny the fran-
chise to many.)
Where Potts is on target,
though, is in trying to counter
policy-making that consistent-
ly ignores reforms that most ci-
tizens favor.

T
HE COACH warned
us not to show off.
Yet, apparently in
an effort to be first
and flashy, a young man pre-
maturely and erroneously re-
ported on Saturday night that
the old, cancer-stricken foot-
ball coach had died. Far worse,
several so-called professional
media outlets abandoned the
basic rules of journalism and
fueled the rumor, no doubt
adding to the familys distress.
The coach wanted us to be
patient and to play fair.
Even the coachs bosses
couldnt seem to show re-
straint and to exercise fair play
during early November when
the masses called for a pound
of flesh. Amidblisteringpublic
criticismandample confusion,
these purported leaders
chose first to save face. They
fired the then-84-year-old
coach. Only later, they said,
would they gather the facts.
The coach urged us to stick
with the game plan.
Like another runup the mid-
dle, consistently extending a
legal right such as due proc-
ess to individuals doesnt usu-
ally bring the crowd to its feet.
The bleacher sitters instead
holler for instant results, pref-
erably with high drama. In the
coachs final days on the field,
many people
assigned
guilt and ex-
tended
blame far
and wide.
Certain edi-
torial writers
and talk
show yappers fanned the fren-
zy. A governor and others
obliged the mob, implying
swift action was needed to en-
sure the safety of children.
This week, the morally righ-
teous might be seen backped-
aling as they file past the
coachs coffin.
The coach told us to keep
perspective.
In life, there are many more
important things than games
and scores. But, confronting a
painful loss toward the end of
last season, rioters took to
State Colleges streets, seem-
ingly oblivious to what mat-
tered most: alleged child vic-
tims.
The coachof PennState Uni-
versitys football program for
45 years, a famed and feisty
man imbued with all the usual
human frailties, didnt want us
to be like him, but to work to
become our better selves.
It seems we will need more
practice, Coach. Much more
practice.

lic that McCormick had lied
about the existence of the state-
ments.
The bottom line is they lied.
They said the documents dont
exist. I have them. Thats perju-
ry, Wielgosz said.
Leighton adamantly denied
there was any intent to conceal
the statements from Wielgosz.
Leighton said Bank of America
mistakenly advised McCormick
the statements did not exist. The
city was in contact with the bank
throughout the day Monday to
try to find out what happened,
but had not gotten an explana-
tion as of the close of business.
I cant emphasize enough that
nooneinmyadministrationtried
to hide anything, Leighton said.
Marie McCormick relied on a
letter she receivedfromthe bank.
She would never do anything to
mislead the public.
The dispute centers on an affi-
davit McCormick provided on
Oct. 20 in response to a request
Wielgosz had filed under the
states Right to Know Act.
McCormick had contacted Bank
of America torequest copies of 21
statements Wielgosz had sought,
but were not in the possession of
the city.
Affidavit in question
McCormicks affidavit said she
received a letter from Bank of
America representative Donna
Durkin. The letter, a copy of
which was obtained by The
Times Leader, states that 20 of
the 21 requested statements did
not exist because there were no
balances due, therefore no state-
ment would have been generat-
ed.
Wielgosz and Charlotte Raup,
who reviewed the statements
with Wielgosz, remained suspi-
cious because there were several
instances in which payments
were made oncards, but were not
reflected on any statement.
Those suspicions led Wielgosz
to subpoena FIA Card Services,
which he was permitted to do by
virtue of the petition to compel
he had filed. FIA Card Services
provided him 15 statements that
McCormick, based on the Bank
of America letter, said did not ex-
ist.
Wielgosz never got to present
that portion of the case at Mon-
days hearing, however, because
the hearing was solely to decide
the issue of his motion to compel
the city to provide the state-
ments. Since he already had
them, legally, there was no issue
to resolve.
Leighton said the city had no
idea Wielgosz had obtained the
statements until the start of the
hearing. He said he wished Wiel-
gosz had advised the city of that
beforehand, whichwouldhave al-
lowed it to investigate the matter
to find out why McCormick was
given incorrect information.
We want to know why they
couldnt find(the statements) for
us, but they could find them for
someone else, Leighton said.
Wielgosz and Raup, who at-
tended Mondays hearing, ques-
tioned why the city had to go to
Bank of America at all. It should
have had copies of the state-
ments, Raup said.
Why were so many state-
ments missing in the first place?
Arent they required to maintain
their own records? Raup said.
This is not, nor should it have
ever been, Bank of Americas
place produce city records.
Leighton said he could not ex-
plain why the city did not have
copies of the statements. He said
hes continuing to look into the
matter, but suspects they may
have been misplaced given the
volume of bills the city takes in
annually.
They could have been at-
tached to something else by mis-
take, he said. We get thousands
of vouchers ranging from paving
streets to buying a hammer or a
shovel.
Suspicions raised
Wielgosz had suspected the
city withheld the statements be-
cause officials did not want the
public to knowwhat was charged
to the cards.
A review of the statements
shows total new charges of
$5,218 to Murphys credit card
over five statements. The bulk of
thecharges werefor hotel stays in
Harrisburg, Philadelphia and
New York City. There were no
new charges on Leightons or
McCormicks cards, only pay-
ments.
Wielgosz said the amount of
the charges was not issue. The
fact remained he was told the
statements did not exist.
If they are going to lie about
something that doesnt matter,
what kind of crap are they going
to give me for something that
does matter? he said.

other products are extracted.
That includes Northeastern
Pennsylvania, where the compa-
nyplanstohave12operatingdrill
rigs by the second quarter of
2012, down from 17 now, said
Brian Grove, Chesapeakes se-
nior director-corporate develop-
ment.
In a release announcing the
cutbacks, Chesapeake said it
would defer completion of some
dry gas wells that have been
drilledbut not completed. Grove
saidthat will not bethecasehere,
and the company expects to drill
about 140 wells this year in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
company has 194 producing
wells in the region.
Employment will not be re-
duced, Grove said.
We have more than1,500 em-
ployees in Pennsylvania and
more than a dozen facilities.
Whilesomeemployeeswill bere-
directed in their activities (e.g.
drilling crews), no layoffs are
planned.
Other activities will be adjust-
ed to match the slower pace of
drilling, Grovesaid, but projects
under way will continue as nor-
mal.
Leasing will slowas well.
While we are not actively
seeking large amounts of new
acreage, alimitedamount of leas-
ingactivitywill continueinmany
areas to complete planned drill-
ing units, Grove said.
While Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania wells produce dry gas,
those in southwestern Pennsyl-
vaniaandnorthernWest Virginia
yield other hydrocarbons, such
as propane, ethane and butane,
Grove said.
Other dry gas regions will see
larger cutbacks. Overall, Chesa-
peake will reduce the number of
rigsworkingindrygasregionsby
half, with fields in Arkansas and
Texas losing 60 percent of their
active rigs.
The companys plan also calls
for a cut of 500 million cubic feet
of gas per day, about 8 percent of
its current production, in two
drilling regions in Texas, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana.
The move is designed to re-
ducetheglut of natural gas inthe
country, and therefore increase
prices. But analysts caution that
drillers historically have reneged
onplans tocut output intimes of
low prices, bowing to pressure
from investors to increase pro-
duction.
Extreme weather for two win-
ters and two summers kept natu-
ral gas prices high by boosting
demand for home heating and
power generation. But this sea-
sons mild winter weather, espe-
ciallyintheNortheast andUpper
Midwest, has crimped demand
and led to a glut.
Natural gas futures slipped to
$2.32 per 1,000 cubic feet last
week, their lowest levels since
2002.
Also, evenasdrillersavoiddry-

Novice reporters have longbeen
admonished to double-check a
news tip, evenif the tiphappens to
be that your mother says she loves
you. In the case of Joe Paternos
death, some forgot the basics.
The result was a chain reaction
of misreporting that grew blindly
from a student journalists Twitter
post erroneously suggesting that
Paterno, 85, had succumbed to
lung cancer on Saturday night.
The legendary former Penn State
football coach actually died Sun-
day morning, about 14 hours after
some media sources had already
declared him dead.
Two inaccurate reports oc-
curred locally.
WBRE-TV28 broke into regular
programming just after 9 p.m. Sat-
urday to report Paterno had died.
Dawn Miller, WBRE producer,
said there were three sources re-
porting Paternos death before an-
chor/reporter Eric Deabill went
on air during regular program-
ming.
Miller said CBSSports.com, the
NBC affiliates news wire service
and a tweet from Onward State, a
student run online news organiza-
tion serving the Penn State cam-
pus, were the source of informa-
tion Saturday night.
WBRE retracted the report of
Paternos death after learning it
was inaccurate, Miller said.
GoLackawanna, a weekly news-
paper published by Impressions
Media, the parent company of The
Times Leader, posted on its web-
site that Paterno died Saturday
night.
Loran Lewis, a professor in the
communications studies depart-
ment at Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre, said social media
and the rush to be first creates
problems.
Its always been part of the
media to be the first one with the
scoop, Lewis said. The down-
side of that great rush with new
technologies and social media, ev-
erything happens so quickly.
There are few gate keepers in be-
tween the reporters and the publi-
cation. There used to be two or
three editors that will look at a sto-
ry before it goes out. Nowyou can
send it out unmonitored.
The premature reporting sug-
gests the me-too nature of the
news media in a digital age. It also
says much about the power of
Twitter, a favorite tool of journal-
ists for quickly spreading com-
mentary and news including, it
turns out, the inaccurate kind.
Thedominothat tippedover the
entirelineonSaturdaywas atweet
from a student-run Web site, On-
ward State, that covers the State
College community.
Our sources can now confirm:
Joseph Vincent Paterno has
passed away tonight at the age of
85, the site reported via Twitter
around 8:45 p.m.
Almost immediately, the infor-
mation was picked up and relayed
as fact by a series of Web sites, in-
cluding CBSSports.com, the Huff-
ington Post and the Daily Beast.
Based on these postings, other
journalists jumped in with tweets
of their own.
Except Onward State had got-
ten some seriously bad informa-
tion.
In a posting on the site on Sun-
day, Davis Shaver, Onwards foun-
der, explained that one of his writ-
ers, whom he would not identify,
had received the information
about Paternos death around 8
p.m. He saidthe informationcame
from a source, whom Shaver also
would not identify, who said that
Paternos passing had been con-
firmed in an e-mail sent to Penn
State athletes by a high-ranking
school official.

Lewis contributed to this report.

Erroneous reporting began

The Washington Post
munity loves Joe Paterno and
always will. So its appropri-
ate for the Penn State commu-
nity to honor Joe Paterno in
this service.
Paterno was fired Nov. 9 af-
ter he was criticized over his
handling of child sex-abuse al-
legations leveled against for-
mer assistant Jerry Sandusky
in 2002. Pennsylvanias state
police commissioner said that
in not going to the police, Pa-
terno may have met his legal
duty but not his moral one.
Bitterness over Paternos re-
moval has turned up in many
forms, from online postings to
a note placed next to Pater-
nos statue at the football sta-
dium blaming the trustees for
his death. A newspaper head-
line that read FIRED was
crossed out and made to read,
Killed by Trustees. Lanny
Davis, lawyer for the board,
said threats have been made
against the trustees.
Janice Hume, a journalism
professor at the University of
Georgia, said that staging an
appropriate memorial creates
a dilemma similar to the one
faced by Paternos obituary
writers: how to address the
scandal without letting it ne-
gate his entire career.
But many alumni and stu-
dents say Paterno was treated
shabbily by the Board of
Trustees in November, and
trustees and other members
of the administration might
not be made to feel welcome
at the memorial for the 85-
year-old coach, who died Sun-
day of lung cancer.
I dont think its going to be
heavily laden with administra-
tion and trustees, said trust-
ee Linda Strumpf, who lives in
New York and will not attend.
This is something the family
is putting together and not
the university. I dont think
the university wants to be in a
position to tell them what a
memorial service looks like.
But trustee Al Clemens said
he will be there to honor a
man he described as a good
friend.
This is really a family
thing, and so were just going
to go as individuals, Clemens
said. Joes a great guy. No
matter was the situation was
in the last two months, it
doesnt take away from what
hes done through history for
so many people. Hes just
been tremendous.
The viewing will be held to-
day and Wednesday at a cam-
pus spiritual center, followed
by a private funeral Wednes-
day afternoon. The public me-
morial will be at the Jordan
Center and is expected to
draw thousands.
Michael Day, a 1973 Penn
State graduate from Hager-
stown, Md., whose father
taught there and whose four
children all have Penn State
degrees, said the trustees
were wrong to fire Paterno
and he believes they will ulti-
mately be replaced. He said he
hopes they dont attend.
I think the Penn State com-
munity is separate from the
Penn State Board of Trust-
ees, he said. The Board of
Trustees has separated itself
from the Penn State commu-
nity, and the Penn State com-
I think its probably very
difficult to strike the right bal-
ance, she said.
Clemens said the board will
later consider more lasting
tributes to Paterno, including
scholarships in his name. Be-
cause of his generosity to the
school, his family name is al-
ready on the library and a spir-
itual center.
There has also been a move-
ment over the past few years
to change the name of Beaver
Stadium to Joe Paterno Field
at Beaver Stadium, and on
Monday the man behind it,
Warren W. Armstrong, a 1960
graduate and retired Allen-
town advertising executive,
said he would renew his ef-
forts. Some are suggesting re-
naming the street leading to
the stadium Paterno Way.
A family spokesman said
the Paternos focus this week
is on the viewing and funeral
plans and they do want to
weigh in on any ideas for a
permanent memorial right
now. But I would say the fam-
ily would welcome a conversa-
tion on that, Dan McGinn
said.

Tributes surround a statue of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, outside Beaver Stadium on
the Penn State campus Monday in State College.
Former Penn State coach Joe
Paterno will be buried Wednesday,
and his family has scheduled
three days of public memorial
events this week.
Paterno died Sunday at age 85,
less than three months after
being diagnosed with lung cancer.
In a schedule released by a family
spokesman, the first public view-
ing will be held today, a 10-hour
session starting at 1 p.m. at the
Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on
the Penn State campus.
Another viewing will take place
for four hours Wednesday start-
ing at 8 a.m. A private funeral
service is scheduled for 2 p.m.
that day.
Finally, a memorial service will be
held Thursday at 2 p.m. at the
Jordan Center, the basketball
arena next to Beaver Stadium.
Tickets to A Memorial For Joe
are free, but demand is expected
to be very high. Two tickets per
person will be made available at
10 a.m. today and can be ordered
online (www.GoPSUsports.com/
tickets) or by phone (1-800-NIT-
TANY).
Parking information for all three
days is also available on GoPSUs-
ports.com.

hey say he had nothing to live
for anymore.
They say his spirit broke.
They say being kicked off Penn
States sidelines killed Joe Paterno.
Im not going to say that, said
Harry Hamilton, a former Nanticoke
Area star who played defensive back
for Paterno at Penn State in the early
1980s. (But) Im not going to dis-
agree with that.
There is no medical evidence to
support such supposition.
Dejection is never listed as a cause
of death.
No, said Dr. David Greenwald,
who practices oncology and internal
medicine at Medical Oncology Associ-
ates in Kingston. Patients dont ac-
tually die from a broken heart.
But having one can whittle away at
the will to live. Especially for an 85-
year-old college football icon whos
suddenly an outcast.
Im not a doctor, said Hamilton,
who instead became a lawyer after
playing in the NFL with the New York
Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But
I am a human being. And I would
think from what I know of Joe Pa-
terno, I think there was a profound
disappointment in there that really,
those making the decision did not
handle it in a much better and deserv-
ing fashion.
He means the people on Penn
States board of trustees, who fired
Paterno in the middle of his 46th
season in the wake of the Jerry Sand-
usky scandal that shook the universi-
ty.
That made those who once played
for Paterno shake with anger.
Where was the due process? de-
manded Lance Hamilton, Harrys
brother who starred at Meyers, played
under Paterno and is also currently an
attorney for the U.S. Army. To me, it
seemed some people were reacting a
little quickly and disgruntled. The due
process wasnt there for him.
Even Sandusky, charged with sex-
ually abusing 10 young boys, gets to
defend himself in court.
Paterno didnt even get to debate.
He was handed a piece of paper
with a phone number, and when he
dialed it, Paterno was tersely told his
services were no longer needed as
Penn States football coach.
Was he served a death sentence?
Paterno was dismissed from Penn
State on Nov. 9. Just days afterward,
the man who spent 61 years carving a
legendary, Hall of Fame career as a
head coach and assistant was diag-
nosed with lung cancer.
They called it treatable at the time.
We dont know anything about his
lung cancer, said Greenwald, who
didnt treat Paterno but works with
cancer patients daily. If it is ad-
vanced, you can offer something to
the patient, but you cant cure it. So
yes, its treatable.
Its a different way of saying you
cant cure it.
Certainly, there was no way to heal
Paternos pain over losing the coach-
ing life he loved. He died Sunday,
little more than two months after he
was dismissed.
Joes always been a fighter, Lance
Hamilton said. Could this (firing)
have added to some of the emotional
strain? Could this have added to his
inability to fight cancer?
Undoubtedly.
We see it every day, agreed Green-
wald. Old people just dont want to
try Dont waste energy on me, I
lived long enough. Im not sure its a
broken heart. I think its more indirect
as opposed to direct.
But theres an unequivocal correla-
tion here.
When they told Joe Paterno his
time was up at Penn State, he lost his
life.

DALLAS Is Ted Jackson the rant-
ing, raving, out-of-control coach his su-
periors make him out to be?
Or is he simply the victim of a super-
sensitive Dallas school district?
The Dallas school board will have to
decide during a general purpose meet-
ing at 7 a.m. Wednesday, after both
sides presented distinctly varying de-
scriptions of the events that caused the
Dallas board to open Jacksons job as
head football coach after 28 seasons
leading the Mountaineers.
Only one thing is
certain.
Jackson wants to
continue on for a 29th
season as Dallas head
football coach.
Yes, he answered
firmly.
But his status re-
mains on shaky ground, after the Dallas
school board voted 8-1 to open its head
football job during a regular meeting
last month.
Feeling he didnt get an opportunity
to present his case, Jackson asked for
and received a Loudermill hearing
part of the due process requirement
that must be provided to a government
employee prior to removing or impact-
ing the employment right held Mon-
day at the Dallas Middle School.
My goals were to put Dallas football
on the map, Jackson said at the start of
his testimony.
Theres little question Jackson did
that, with just one losing season during
his tenure to go along with a state title
and two trips to the District 2 cham-
pionship game over the last three sea-
sons.
Hes a very well-respected gentle-
man, Meyers athletic director Mike
Namey who once taught with Jack-
son at Plains Jr. High, testified before
the Dallas board.
But Dallas principal Jeff Shaffer and
the schools athletic director Nancy Ro-
berts painted the picture of a man far
from gentle.
I had concerns about his judgment,
his temperament, Shaffer said.
He listed three major points that
Jacksons camp contends influenced
the boards original vote.
Shaffer contends Jackson publicly
embarrassed a superior athletic direc-
tor Roberts when pregame introduc-
tions were neglected during a home
district playoff game against Scranton
Prep this past season.
He was so upset, he really wasnt
hearing what I was saying, Roberts
told the board, accusing Jackson of
waving his arms in an angry display at
the time. He was saying, Only at Dal-

Today, Bill OBrien will pay his re-
spects to his predecessor. Tomorrow,
the work begins to honor him.
Penn States new head coach is back
in State College and will attend a pub-
lic viewing for Joe Paterno today at the
Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on campus.
OBrien is charged with taking up for
Paterno, who died Sunday morning of
lung cancer at age 85. OBrien was able
to speak with the former coach by
phone before he was admitted to the
hospital for the final time.
On the night OBrien was officially
hired by Penn State, Paterno gave his
fellow Brown University alum, his
blessing.
It means a lot,
OBrien told The Times
Leader on Monday.
Heres a man that was the
coach for 61 years, 46 as
head coach. I cant say
enough of how he did it
here how people feel
about him. Its really im-
portant for us to hold up
that same standard of ex-
cellence.
That begins with a commitment.
The 42-year-old Massachusetts native
still has an old one of those to finish
first. On Wednesday night, he will fly
back to New England and on Thursday
he will begin preparing for Super Bowl
XLVI.
For OBrien it will be one final game
Feb. 5 in Indianapolis against the
New York Giants as the Patriots of-
fensive coordinator. While he will have
two more weeks of splitting time be-
tween two jobs, OBrien was emphatic
that his future lies in Happy Valley.
No question, he said. When I took
the job, I dont believe Penn State was
hiring a coach for the next three years.
I believe they were hiring a coach for a
little bit longer than that.
Obviously you take everything day-
by-day, but I intend to be here a long
time.
Fortunately for OBrien, the Patriots
have been through this before. In De-

Joe Paterno could outtalk anybody in
that Brooklyn beat cops voice of his.
But the lung cancer and the chemo had
left him breathless, and what emerged
in two days of conversations with him,
the last interview he would give, sound-
ed like a series of sighs. Some of them
satisfied, some of them regretful, all of
them aware that his life was drawing to
a close and 85 years were being relent-
lessly and reductively defined.
Paterno studied his own end, and
knew it wasnt going to be storybook.
So much for the old-fashioned narrative
he had built, of bookish yet vigorous
young men filling a stadium in the cen-
ter Pennsylvania, men he had uplifted
such as Franco Harris and Lydell Mitch-
ell and Brandon Short, autumn leaves
swirling softly over their heads.

A t-shirt with the likeness of former Penn State coach Joe Paterno is seen in
front of Bar Tour Shirts Monday in State College. Paterno, a sainted figure at
Penn State for almost half a century but scarred forever by the scandal involving
his longtime assistant, died Sunday at age 85. See JENKINS, Page 5B
BERWICK The crack came a
bit earlier this time. Right at the
end of the second quarter to be
exact.
And once again, Hazleton Area
widened the chasm enough for
Wyoming Valley West to freefall
into Monday
night.
Hazleton Ar-
ea went on a sev-
en-point run to
endthefirst half,
taking the lead
for good as it
captured the
Wyoming Valley
Conference Division I boys bas-
ketball first-half title with a 70-46
victory.
Its huge, Hazleton Area
coach Mike Joseph said of the
special playoff game victory at
the Berwick Middle School. I
told them its something you can
put inyour backpocket andinthe
savings account right now.
But were only halfway there.
We have seven games in the sec-
ond-half that well start preparing
for one at a time.
Hazleton Area (6-1 Div. I, 12-3
overall) defeated Valley West 71-
43 last Tuesday. The Spartans,
though, were without standout
guard James McCann (shoulder
injury) for that game and looked
like a different team early on in
the rematch.
Forward Jaquan Ingram was
strong on the boards and, along

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
Freshman Sara Skammer has
quickly become a key performer
with the Rutgers University wom-
ens gymnastics team.
Skammer (Dallas and the United
Sports Academy) kicked off her
college career by competing in a
season-opening loss to New Hamp-
shire. She totaled 36.975 in All-
Around, third best on her team.
She competed in just the vault and
bars the next two meets, losses to
West Virginia and Penn, but saw
her scores improve in both events
9.550 to 9.745 in the vault and
9.250 to 9.500 on the bars.
Sara is adapting well to college
gymnastics and is continuing to
make improvements each week,
coach Louis Levine said. She has
plenty of potential to be successful
here in multiple events.
The coach feels that Skammer
has dealt with her busy schedule.
Shes learning how to adjust to
the rigorous schedule that is colle-
giate gymnastics, Levine said. She
has to balance practice, classes,
study hall and meets and thats a
big challenge for a freshman.
Levine feels that Skammer fits in
well with the team chemistry.
Our team is tight-knit in and
out of the gym, he said.
Sara fits in the model of what I
am looking for as a Rutgers gym-
nast. Im expecting her to continue
to improve as the season progresses
and push for a spot on the all-
around.
The Scarlet Knights host Temple,
Ursinus and Southern Connecticut
Saturday in New Brunswick, NJ.
ACCORDINO ON A ROLL The
Hofstra wrestling team is 8-0 in
dual meets thus far this season and
red-shirt junior Justin Accordino
(Coughlin) is one of the wrestlers
that is leading the charge.
Accordino had a big weekend in
the Colonial Athletic Association
Duals in Fairfax, VA. The Pride
defeated Old Dominion, George
Mason and Boston University and
Accordino scored victories at 149
pounds in all three matches 8-4
decision against Old Dominion, a
pin in a season-best time of 29
seconds against George Mason and
a 15-0 major decision against Bos-
ton University.
Im very proud of Justin in re-
cent weeks, coach Rob Anspach
said. He seems to be turning the
corner and has become a very con-
sistent wrestler at all three posi-
tions.
Accordino is 16-8 overall and 14-6
since moving back to 149 pounds
after starting the season at 157.
Hes won six straight.
With his winning streak, Justin
is wrestling with more confidence
and is wrestling the way that we
knew he could. With continued
hard-work and improvement, we
think he can reach his goals in
March.
Those goals are the CAA Cham-
pionship Saturday, March 3 in Bing-
hamton, N.Y. and the NCAA Cham-
pionship March 15-17 in St. Louis.
HARDING WAITS HIS TURN
Brandon Harding (Dallas) is a
freshman with the powerful Lehigh
mens swim team which is 7-2 in
dual meets thus far this season. His
main swims are the breaststroke
and butterfly.
Brandon has continued to im-
prove in the 100 breast and 100 fly
as well as investigating new events
like to the 200 breast and 200 fly,
coach Rob Herb said. But with a
strong team, he will need to wait
his turn as he continues to work
hard as a freshman. I do expect big
things from him and our intention
is to see him start next year.
Harding did exceptionally well in
the class room the first semester
(3.5 grade point average).
Brandon brings some strong
character, is a hard worker, coach-
able and enjoys his team, Herb
said.
Those are all of the right in-
gredients for success at Lehigh.
POPPLE LEADS THE WAY
Senior Morgan Popple (Coughlin) is
a member of the womens diving
team at Bucknell. She had her best
scoring effort this season against La
Salle when she finished third in the
1-meter (221.10) and seventh in
3-meter (191.78). She finished third
in both dives against George Wash-
ington but her scores were not as
high.
Morgan has matured a lot over
her time here, diving coach Errol
Carter said. She
has shown some
great leadership
qualities helping
our four freshmen
divers.
Carter calls Pop-
ple the model
student-athlete who
continues to work hard at every-
thing she does both in the pool
and in the class room.
The coach feels that her diving
efforts have been hindered by in-
juries and the need to take time
away from the sport.
Morgan is a very good diver and
a valuable member of the team,
Carter said. Shes a great example
not only for the young divers but
for the team in general.
The Bison will compete in the
Navy Invitational Saturday in Anna-
polis, MD and then return to Anna-
polis for the Patriot League Cham-
pionships Feb. 16-18.
KUHL QUALIFIES Senior
Amanda Kuhl (Hanover Area) is off
to a good start with the Pittsburgh
womens track team. She has al-
ready qualified for the Big East
Championships in the 400 meter
dash.
However veteran coach Alonzo
Webb sees Kuhl helping the Pan-
thers in another way.
I feel that Amanda will be most
helpful to the team on relay duty,
possibly the 4-by-800 or the DMR,
he said. Shes a great team player
and is willing to do whatever is
needed to help the team be suc-
cessful.
Kuhl is doing the job in the class
room as well.
Amanda is actually going to
graduate after only three years and
is already applying to grad schools
for communications, Webb said.
Pittsburgh will compete in the
Penn State Open Friday and Sat-
urday in State College.
STONIER GOING THE DIS-
TANCE Sophomore Jeremy Ston-
ier (Tunkhannock) is planning to
concentrate on distance races for
the Keystone mens track team
according to head coach Michael
Badway.
Stonier kicked off the indoor
season by posting marks of 10:56.39
in the 3,000 and 17:45.73 in the
5,000 at the Orange and Maroon
Classic at Susquehanna.
Jeremy will be focusing on the
distance events this year, Badway
said. Our big goal for him is to
get him the school record in the
10,000 meters during the outdoor
season while also getting his time
in the 5,000 meters into the low
16s. He is extremely focused and
determined to getting his time
down in the 5,000 this season.
The Giants are off until Saturday,
Feb. 4 when they compete in the
East Stroudsburg Invitational.
DUO HELPING RAIDERS Ship-
pensburg sophomore Kayla Mantush
(Hazleton Area) and freshman Cier-
ra Plesner (Dallas) have already
qualified for the PSAC Indoor Track
Championships.
Mantush bettered the PSAC stan-
dard when she posted a 5-1 effort
in the high jump at the Bison
Opener at Bucknell.
Kayla continues to improve,
coach Dave Osanitsch said. She
was a PSAC qualifier indoors and
outdoors as a freshman and is look-
ing to become a conference place
winner this year.
Plesner kicked off her college
career with a PSAC qualifying time
in the 60 meter dash (8.29), also at
the Bison Opener.
Cierra had a nice performance in
her college debut and has a strong
work ethic and that should help
her down the road as she develops
in the short sprints, Osanitsch
said.
The Raiders return to Lewisburg
for the Bucknell Open Friday and
Saturday.
The PSAC Championship is Feb.
25-26 in Edinboro.

Hazleton Area then took control two
minutes into the fourth quarter.
Travis Buckner led Hazleton Area
with 23 points, followed by Sal Biasi

Mike does a great job. He has some
great players there, Valley West coach

probably in the high 20s. And they took

Then came Hazleton Areas 7-0 run
started by an inside basket by Adam
Hauze and ended when he made a steal
and tossed a quick pass to Frankie Vito,
who dropped in a layup at the buzzer. In
between, Vito naileda three-pointer ona

Valley West cut the deficit to 36-32

las. I felt like he was talking about me
directly. After the game, I received
phone calls from people very upset I
had been treated that way.
Gary Steier, who served as a Dallas
assistant this past season, said Jackson
simply offered a shoulder shrug and a
low grumble while perplexed about the
inactivity before the game.
In my humble opinion, said Steier,
who did a dead-on imitation of Jackson
during the proceedings, there wasnt
anything overtly done that would be
constituted embarrassing.
Also, Shaffer said Jackson didnt ac-
cept at least verbally the schools
decision to suspend his son, assistant
football coach Ted Jackson Jr., for un-
sportsmanlike conduct penalties as-
sessed to Dallas multiple times during
the season.
And equally alarming, Shaffer indi-
cated, was Jackson threatening to boy-
cott coaching a game after Ted Jackson
Jr. was forced to give up his position as
Dallas head basketball coach.
I felt I was betrayed in a way there,
said Jackson, who insisted he was told
the one-game suspension of his son
would be the only punishment handed
down by Dallas directors. I said, I ac-
cepted the first one, Im having trouble
accepting this one. I talked to my
coaches, talked to my wife, said I dont
know if I could do this. I dont know if I
could do the kids justice.
Jackson wound up coaching the game
anyway, after his son urged him to do
so, he said.
Now the board will have to sort it all
out.
We have to deliberate (Monday
night) before we decide anything,
board member Dr. Bruce Goeringer,
who cast the only vote in Jacksons favor
during the original vote, said after Mon-
days hearing. We dont have a decision
until we deliberate on what was said.
Whether those words will swing the
game Jacksons way is anyones guess.
Its hard to tell, Jackson said. I
think our guys presented a great case.
Its hard to read. They (board members)
already made the decision to open the
job once, 8-1. Its hard to change their
minds.
I thought we rebutted every negative
thing and turned it into a positive
thing, Jackson continued. All the
things that brought my evaluation
down, I thought we withstood.

CONCORD, N.C. Danica
Patrick became a worldwide sen-
sation as a rookie at the Indiana-
polis 500, challenging for victory
and becoming the first woman to
lead laps in the showcase race.
Those Indy days are fading
fast.
Patricks shift to stock cars is
long under way and her ties to In-
dyCar were cut even further
Monday she said she wont
run in this years Indy 500.
Her focus is
entirely on
NASCAR, and
on May 27
shell race in
the Coca-Cola
600. She said
skipping the In-
dy 500 was a
business decision.
I hope to do it in the future,
the Indy 500 that is, and maybe it
will be a double, she said. But
at this point in time, after a lot of
conversations, its just going to
be the Coke 600 and I think its
going to be a big challenge. Its
just is something that didnt
work out, as far as the business
side of things. ... For this year, it
just didnt happen.
Patrick led 19 laps late and fin-
ished fourth in 2005. She was a
career-best third in 2009.
When she jumped full time to
NASCAR she said the Indy 500
was still under consideration.
Her NASCAR season includes
the full second-tier Nationwide
Series schedule for JR Motor-
sports and 10 races in the elite
Sprint Cup Series for Stewart-
Haas Racing.
Patrick had previously an-
nounced eight of her races. The
Coca-Cola 600 Patrick joking-
ly calledNASCARs longest event
of the season The Coke 6,000,
is the ninth announced race.
The Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola
600 are both May 27.
We didnt tell her she couldnt
run the 500. It was left up to her,
team co-owner Tony Stewart
said. It shows how dedicated
she is to making this transition.
Stewart, Robby Gordon and
John Andretti have all tried to
run both events on the same day.
Stewart, NASCARs three-time
champion, completed the double
twice: In1999, he was ninth at In-
dy and fourth at Charlotte, and in
2001, he was sixth at Indy and
third at Charlotte.
Hes not tried Indianapolis
since, and has let go of his child-
hood dream of winning the 500.
He has twice won the Brickyard
400, NASCARs race at the sto-
ried Indianapolis Motor Speed-
way.
The hard part for me was you
make that decision when you
sign up to do (NASCAR), Stew-
art said. The decision you make,
you have to come to peace with
yourself with saying Im not go-
ing to do this. That was my
childhood dream anyway. It may
be a different scenario and feel-
ing for her. But it was hard know-
ing when I signed that (NAS-
CAR) contract that I was writing
off the opportunity to go race at
Indy.
Its figuring out at the end of
the day what do you really want
to do. I guess thats the part that
even though it was hard to watch
opening day of practice at Indi-
anapolis, Im enjoying what Im
doing, too, and this is what I
want to do at the end of the day,
he continued. It makes youwant
30-hour days and 400-day years
and we always want to do more
than what were capable of doing,
but the reality is you have to pick
at some point and choose your
career path. This is what Ive
done and what shes doing now.
But Stewart said so long as In-
dianapolis Motor Speedway
makes it logistically possible for
Patrick to attempt both races,
she may eventually run the race
again. He said he has no interest
in fielding a car for her, citing
how much hes already doing
with all his other teams.
The IndyCar Series would also
welcome back its most recogniz-
able driver to its biggest event of
the season.

Wyoming
Valley West and
Hazleton Area
played Monday
for the Wyom-
ing Valley Con-
ference Division
I first-half title.
Why? Why does the WVC use
the antiquated scheduling of
splitting the basketball season
into two halves?
Well, there are two main argu-
ments, and neither holds much
weight.
The first is, Its the way weve
always done it. Well, high
school football players used to
wear leather helmets at one
time.
The other is, It gives us
something to play for. Strange,
Ive looked at a lot trophy cases
in high schools and never seen
one for being a WVC divisional
first-half basketball champion.
Consider this: Hazleton Area
and Valley West had already
played during the first-half sea-
son. Then they played for the
first-half title. Then will again in
the second-half season. And if
they tie again, they would play
for the second-half title. And
pending the outcome of that
game, they could play again for
the overall divisional title.
And then possibly again in the
District 2/4 Class 4A playoffs.
And, as remote as the possibility
is, once again in the PIAA Class
4A tournament.
Thats seven times. Seven
times! The two teams could
spend nearly a quarter of their
seasons playing each other.
(And the possibility of being in
a tournament together isnt
included).
The solution is simple and
one the Lackawanna Conference
is considering eliminate play-
ing first-half and second-half
seasons.
As it stands now, WVC half-
season titles can be decided
more on the luck of the draw
that is, who a team plays in
crossover games with the other
division rather than which
team is truly the best.
A13-game season will solve
this problem in Divisions I and
II. Play everybody in your divi-
sion twice and in the other
once. Division III will play its
divisional foes twice for a 14-
game season.
Thus the possibility of a dead
week between the first-half and
second-half seasons is eliminat-
ed or can be used for exhibition
play or as make-up dates.
Then that week between the
end of the regular season and
the District 2 playoffs can be
used for two things any games
needed to break divisional ties
or to determine an overall WVC
championship tournament.
Yep, an overall WVC cham-
pionship tournament. Take the
three divisional champions plus
a wild card, seed them and have
them play for an overall WVC
title at one of the local colleges.
Forget PIAA classifications; its
not that pertinent when it
comes to basketball. GARs
victory over Valley West on Dec.
21 proved it.
Its time to do something
different because the old way,
quiet frankly, is getting old.
SLOW, STEADY PROGRESS
Three wins might not seem
like much, but for Berwick (3-
10) they are. The Dawgs won a
total of three games in the past
two seasons.
Granted, Berwicks wins
arent against top-flight competi-
tion. It has defeated Montours-
ville, Midd-West and Wyoming
Area which were a combined
3-31 entering this past weekend.
But progress has to start some-
where.
SPOILER ROLE
Coughlin (4-11) might be the
team that decides the WVC
Division I second-half title. The
Crusaders lost to Pittston Area
by seven and to Crestwood and
Valley West by eight during the
first-half season. Hazleton Area
was the only divisional team to
blow out the Crusaders, win-
ning 75-47.
The Crusaders lack two
things a big guy to control the
inside and a traditional point
guard to match up with other
main ball handlers in the divi-
sion. They are basically a team
of off-guard and small-forward
type players. But if they can cut
down their turnovers, some-
thing that haunted them in a
65-52 loss to Dallas on Friday,
they could pull off an upset or
two.
First-year coach Mike Day,
who ironically was one of the
best big men to play for Cough-
lin, said after the loss that the
team needs to learn how to win.
It could be a painful lesson at
the expense of a contender.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Three WVC teams will be
switching PIAA classifications
over the next two years.
GAR will move from Class 2A
to 3A, while Holy Redeemer and
Nanticoke will fall from 3A to
2A.

to their third win of the season
against the hapless Wizards.
Jordan Crawford led the
Wizards with 17 points. They
lost their third straight game
and remained the NBAs only
winless road team at 0-7. The
Sixers are one of the leagues
early-season surprises and are
counting on this weeks slate of
home games to fatten their
record. After the Wizards, they
play New Jersey, Charlotte and
Detroit, four of the five worst
teams in the Eastern Confer-
ence.
Celtics 87, Magic 56
BOSTON Paul Pierce and
former Magic forward Brandon
Bass each scored 19 points to
carry the injury-riddled Boston
Celtics to a win over the Orlan-
do Magic on Monday night.
The Magic set franchise lows
for points and field goals (16).
Hawks 97, Bucks 92
MILWAUKEE Joe John-
son scored 15 of his season-
high 28 points in the fourth
quarter, rallying the Atlanta
Hawks to a victory over the
Milwaukee Bucks.
Josh Smith had 19 points and
13 rebounds, and Jeff Teague
added 15 points in the opener
of Atlantas five-game road trip.
Bulls 110, Nets 95
CHICAGO Derrick Rose
and Richard Hamilton each
scored 22 points to lead the
banged-up Chicago Bulls to an
easy victory over the New
Jersey Nets.
Hamilton set season highs in
points and assists (10). Rose
added eight assists and hung
with Deron Williams after
missing four games with a
sprained left big toe.
Thunder 99, Pistons 79
OKLAHOMA CITY Rus-
sell Westbrook and reserve

NEW ORLEANS Tim
Duncan sank a 13-foot running
hook in a lane with 1.4 seconds

MELBOURNE, Australia
Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka
reached the Australian Open
semifinals when she held her
nerve despite trouble with her
serve in a 6-7 (0), 6-0, 6-2 win
over No. 8 Agnieszka Radwan-
ska on Tuesday.
It was only her second win in
six Grand Slam quarterfinals.
Shes never gone further than
the semis, and next meets the
winner of Tuesdays later match
between No. 1-ranked Caroline
Wozniacki and defending cham-
pion Kim Clijsters.
The 22-year-old Belarusian
extended her winning streak
this season to 10 matches, in-
cluding a title at Sydney where
she beat Radwanska inthe semi-
finals.
Im really glad I could stay
toughandfinishthe match, she
said. Imjust really happy to be
inthe semifinals togive it all out
there.
Azarenka lost just 12 games in
the first four rounds. But she
had six double-faults and made
38 unforced errors during her 2-
hour match against Radwanska.
The first set featured eight
service breaks, and there were
15 overall in the match. Azaren-
kas double-fault helped give
Radwanska a 6-0 lead in the tie-
breaker, followed by a wild er-
rant backhand by Azarenka on
set point.
But Azarenka, who can attain
the No. 1 ranking by the end of
the tournament, won the next
seven games to move closer to
the victory as the temperature
increased to 93 at Rod Laver
Arena.
Radwanska is now 0-5 in
Grand Slam quarterfinals.
Five-time champion Serena
Williams is already out of the
tournament. Her 17-match win-
ning streak at the Australian
Open ended in a 6-2, 6-3 loss to
No. 56-ranked Ekaterina Maka-
rova.
The margin equaled the big-
gest Grand Slam defeat of Wil-
liams 17-year career.
Makarova will face three-time
major winner Maria Sharapova
in an all-Russian quarterfinal.
Sharapova rallied past Sabine
Lisicki 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 before de-
fending mens champion Novak
Djokovic fended off a resurgent
Lleyton Hewitt in a dramatic
last match of the day, winning
6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
With Hewitts loss, Australias
chances of celebrating a home
singles winner were over. Amer-
ican hopes had already evapo-
rated with the defeat of Wil-
liams her first in Melbourne
since 2008 and earliest since
2006.
I cant even describe how I
served, to be honest, said Wil-
liams, who finished with seven
double-faults, including four in
one game inthe secondset. My
leftyserveis actuallybetter than
that. Maybe I should have start-
ed serving lefty.
Williams tried not to blame
her left ankle injury from a tu-
neup tournament in Brisbane
two weeks ago. But she didnt
move well and seemed to have
particular difficulty running to
her left. She saidif it hadnt been
a Grand Slam, she wouldnt
have played at all.
Usually I play myself into the
tournament, Williams said.
But I dont have a huge prob-
lem with an injury. So this is a
completely different situation.
Usually its easier for me to play
myself in because Im usually
physically OK.

CINCINNATI Kris Joseph
scored 17 points Monday
night, and No. 3 Syracuse reco-
vered from its first loss of the
season by beating Cincinnati
60-53, giving coach Jim Boe-
heim a notable career win.
The Orange (21-1, 8-1 Big
East) used a late 12-2 run to
pull away from the Bearcats
(15-6, 5-3), who failed to turn
the energy from their first
home sellout into a signature
win.
Instead, Boeheim came away
with career victory No. 877,
moving him ahead of Adolph
Rupp into sole possession of
fourth place on the Division I
coaching list.
Syracuse was coming off a
67-58 loss at Notre Dame on
Saturday that ended the best
start in school history and cost
the Orange their No. 1 ranking.
Joseph had three driving bas-
kets during the 12-2 run mid-
way through the second half
that made sure there would be
no losing streak.

Kentucky back at
No. 1 in AP poll
Kentucky, the only team in
last weeks top four not to
lose over the weekend, is back
on top of The Associated
Press college basketball poll.
The Wildcats, who were
ranked No. 1 for two weeks
earlier this season, moved up
one place Monday after
receiving 61 first-place votes
from the 65-member national
media panel.
Missouri, which got two No.
1 votes, jumped from fifth to
second, while Syracuse, which
was in first place for the last
six weeks, dropped to third
after losing at Notre Dame, its
first loss this season. The
Orange were No. 1 on two
ballots.
Ohio State and Kansas
moved up two places to fourth
and fifth and were followed by
Baylor, which fell three places
after losing two games last
week, North Carolina, Duke,
Georgetown and Michigan
State. Duke dropped four
places after losing to Florida
State at home.

P S U F O O T B A L L
Theres the kind of stories I
wish we could tell, Paterno
whispered.
But a modern grotesquery
intervened, and there were too
many other boys who allegedly
had been damaged.
For most of his 61 years as a
football coach at Penn State,
Paterno built a record of thor-
ough decency and good in-
tention. He loved his wife,
reared five nice children, taught
his students well. He turned
down big money for the role of a
tenured professor, and strolled
every day from his modest
home to his unpretentious of-
fice. He acquired real power and
generally tried not to abuse it,
and if he sometimes he did, he
covered for it by insisting on
paying for his ice cream cones.
He set out to prove that staying
in one place could be as reward-
ing as climbing to the next
rung. He meant to walk away
sooner. He stayed too long.
He stayed so long that he
became more of an ideal to his
followers than a person. Then
the horrific happened, and the
quaint success story in the
peaceful hamlet was destroyed
by allegations that Jerry Sand-
usky, Paternos assistant coach
for 30 years, was a serial child
molester and that Paterno,
when told of an incident in-
volving Sandusky and a small
boy in the Penn State showers,
did his duty but no more, pass-
ing the report to his superiors.
The only way to give the trage-
dy the gravity it deserved was to
topple the icon who behaved so
fallibly.
You got what you got, he
says he told himself, after he
was fired by the board of trust-
ees in November. You did
about as much as you can do, on
the field and off the field.
Yet Paterno also understood
he was the face of a terrible
inaction. He had done more
than some people, yet less than
he should have when he failed
to press his superiors about
Mike McQuearys report of
seeing Sandusky doing some-
thing sexual to a small boy in
the Lasch football building.
I should have said Hey
where are we with this thing?
Paterno said. He described
himself as paralyzed by the
unthinkable subject matter. He
had backed away, he said, and
trusted his bosses to handle it.
I didnt know which way to
go, he said. And rather than
get in there and make a mistake
. . .
A week ago, Paterno invited
this reporter into his home
because he wanted to defend his
record and give his version of
events in the Sandusky case. He
often seemed to be trying to
explain his actions to himself as
much as to others. It was a
difficult conversation because it
was not only his first interview
on the subject of Sandusky but
quite possibly the last interview
he would ever give. His health
was clearly precarious, and his
answers often trailed off or
wandered. Shortly afterward he
failed badly, and slipped in and
out of consciousness over the
next few days.
The enraged who demand
hard answers as to why Paterno
didnt do more will have to wait
until eternity. Why didnt he
follow up? I dont know, he
said.
You will have to decide for
yourself if Paterno could have
reached the age of 85 in modern
society without ever really
knowing what man-boy sodomy
was. I had never heard of, of,
rape and a man, he said.
For what its worth, there was
genuine distress in his voice
when he said it. And its hard to
overstate just how insulated
Paterno was. His home was a
time warp, all old wood and
creaking floorboards. But he
most likely overstated his igno-
rance. He did, after all, belong
to a Catholic Church wracked
by pedophilia scandals.
Still, I thought I understood
what he meant. He seemed to
reflexively recoil from such
deviancy; it baffled him, and to
connect it to a longtime col-
league was almost impossible.
It was shocking for me, and
too, sadness, Paterno said.
Was he sick? I dont know. I
dont even know if hes guilty.
It would be a mistake to think
that Paterno didnt care enough
about the potential victims. Im
sick about it. I think about a
12-year-old boy, a 10-year old
boy. In the shower, a physical
touching, its sickening.
According to Paternos wife
Sue, the two of them spent
agonized hours talking about
whether, if Sandusky is guilty,
they should have noticed some-
thing.
If nothing else, Paterno said,
maybe the Sandusky scandal
would help drag the subject out
of it dark corner. It was one of
the last sentiments he ex-
pressed. On the final morning
he would ever spend at home,
he sat propped in bed and insist-
ed on answering a few more
questions. Thats how important
it was to him to talk. In just a
few hours he would be taken to
the hospital, and remain there
until he died Sunday morning.
Im happy in one sense that
we called attention, throughout
this state, and throughout the
country probably, that this is
going on, he said. Its kind of
been like a hidden thing. So
maybe thats good.
According to a family spo-
kesperson, it was among his last
lucid remarks to anyone outside
of his immediate family.
Paternos critics will say his
inaction in the Sandusky case
ruined his legacy and that he
had the power to do more. But
Paterno denied he was the ulti-
mate moral authority in Happy
Valley. He had always tried to
refrain from flexing his muscle,
he insisted. In all the years Im
here, we went the way the uni-
versity wanted, he said.
One reason I suspect Paterno
decided to talk with me, as
opposed to another writer, was
because it brought his career
full circle. In 1968 a Sports Il-
lustrated writer named Dan
Jenkins went to State College to
do a story on a rising coach who
had turned a cow college into a
national football power, yet who
emphasized academics like an
Ivy Leaguer. No fewer than five
times, Paterno asked, Hows
your father? I replied that my
father is 82 and still typing, and
didnt like the idea of retirement
either.
Back in 1968, Paterno told my
father, Were trying to win
football games; dont misunder-
stand that. But I dont want it to
ruin our lives if we lose. I dont
want us ever to become the kind
of place where an 8-2 season is a
tragedy. Look at that day out-
side. Its clear, its beautiful, the
leaves are turning, the land is
pretty, and its quiet. If losing a
game made me miserable, I
couldnt enjoy such a day.
Had that perspective gotten
lost? Did Paterno feel that some-
where along the line, football
had become too important, and
somehow allowed a real tragedy
to go overlooked?
Well, I dont think it got
lost, he said. I just think there
was a series of situations that
maybe people, a little bit, maybe
they neglected something, and
maybe they got a little bit frus-
trated. Whether they had good
intentions or not, youd have to
ask them.
His record will show that he
was a great, indomitable cham-
pion who amassed a record 409
victories, as well as an intelli-
gent advocate who worked
tirelessly for poor and minority
athletes his whole career. It will
show that he was utterly devot-
ed to his players, regularly grad-
uated more than 75 percent of
them, and had 47 academic
all-Americans. It will show that
he made mistakes and omis-
sions, one of them possibly truly
costly. It will show that he most-
ly maintained his perspective
and remained true to himself.
He didnt preach one thing
and live a different way, Sue
said.
It will show that he was not a
statue made of bronze, and that
he was defined as much by what
he failed to do and say, as by
what he did. Which merely
made him, in the end, human.

STATE COLLEGE Joe
Paterno was upbeat and confi-
dent in his final days and didnt
die broken-hearted over his
firing in November as Penn
States longtime football coach,
his son said Monday.
Scott Paterno said his Dad
was serenely calm, before his
death from lung cancer on
Sunday, antsy to leave the hos-
pital so he could start planning
a vacation with his wife, Sue.
Above all, he didnt die bitter
over his firing in November
after 46 years as Penn States
football coach, an abrupt dis-
missal that came amid a child
sex abuse scandal involving a
former assistant coach.
During a telephone interview
with The Associated Press,
Scott Paterno said his fathers
health had deteriorated by
Friday afternoon, prompting
the family to announce Sat-
urday that the 85-year-old Pa-
terno was in serious condition.
He died the following morning.
He wanted his family in his
room. He wanted to be around
people. He wanted to talk, the
son said. He wanted to have
people, even when he had trou-
ble speaking, he wanted people
around him talking. How are
your kids? It was so natural. It
was like we were having dinner
around the kitchen table. It just
happened to be his hospital
bed.
And, he said: Even at the
end when it was clear that he
passed a line of no return, it
was never a moment of bitter-
ness. It was never a moment of
fear. He was serenely calm,
even right up to the end.
The Paternos would have
been married six decades this
year. Along with their five chil-
dren, Sue Paterno was at her
husbands bedside at Mount
Nittany Medical Center when
he died.
If theres any message I
think my father would pass on
to everybody at this point, its
lets build this thing up. He
was so positive and so confi-
dent at the end of his life that
the things that were important
about this place would endure.
And thats why he was at
peace, Scott Paterno said,
before joking, That, and (that)
my mother was willing to put
up with him all these years.

cember 2004, then-offensive co-
ordinator Charlie Weis was
hired as head coach at Notre
Dame but stayed on staff with
New England throughout the
playoffs.
The Patriots wound up beat-
ing the Eagles in Super Bowl
XXXIX, and the team has essen-
tially followed the same model
with OBrien.
Ive been very fortunate in
New England that I have a guy
who (head coach Bill Belichick)
has assigned to me as a de facto
administrative assistant for
things related to Penn State,
OBrien said. What weve put
together here has been really
good.
Of course, it doesnt leave
much time for sleep. During a
normal work day, OBrien
spends the early morning hours
and late night hours focusing on
Penn State, with time spent on
the Patriots in between.
Thats how it worked for
Weis, who famously said that he
bought an air mattress for his
office in Foxborough during his
stretch of double-duty.
Sadly, the makeshift bed was
not left behind for OBrien.
No, he said with a laugh. I
try to sleep One rule I have, I
absolutely have to get a least
one hour of sleep in my own
bed with my wife.
In his waking hours, OBrien
has been busy making recruit-
ing calls and finalizing details
for his new coaching staff.
Penn State has announced
eight out of nine members of
the staff, and OBrien said a de-
cision on the last spot will be
made after the Super Bowl.
In a hectic media scrum after
his introductory press confer-
ence earlier this month, OBrien
had said he would be calling the
plays on offense in his first year.
Subsequent Penn State releases
said that there would not be an
offensive coordinator named.
On Monday, OBrien said
both of those things were not
necessarily true and that no fi-
nal decisions had been made.
Thats something were go-
ing to discuss what well do full-
time, OBrien said. Yes, Im
going to be very involved with
the offense, but as far as play-
calling, that depends on where I
go with that (last coaching)
spot.
OBrien said there might be
an offensive coordinator named,
but followed it up by saying
that titles dont mean any-
thing.
Whats important on staff is
that each guy on staff under-
stands their roles. Every guy
on staff will know his role. Im
in the process of still defining
some of those roles.
As far as the players he inher-
its from Paterno, OBrien will
head to todays memorial along
with them.
And remember what has
made Penn State so successful
in the past.
He cared so much about his
players, OBrien said of Pater-
no. He cared about them way
more off field than as just foot-
ball players. He knows he had
good football players, but he
taught them how to be men off
the field.
Obviously well try to do the
same.

When I took the job, I
dont believe Penn State
was hiring a coach for
the next three years. I
believe they were hiring
a coach for a little bit
longer than that. Obvi-
ously you take every-
thing day-by-day, but I
intend to be here a long
time.
Bill OBrien
Penn State football coach
A comfortable member of the
BigTenfor morethantwodecades,
its easy to forget that Penn State
wasnt readily welcomed by every-
one in the conference.
Ive been to Penn State, said
Bob Knight, then the coach at Indi-
ana, when Penn State was first in-
vited to join the league in 1990.
And Penn States a camping trip.
Theres nothing for about 100
miles.
Rick Bay, then Minnesotas ath-
letic director, was hoping that the
BigTendidnt expand. Andthat if it
had to, he hoped the addition
wouldnt be Penn State.
I dont thinkits a done deal, he
said. Maybe its some wishful
thinking on my part.
Even Indianas president said he
would vote against bringing Penn
State aboard.
So it wasnt as if all the Big Tens
coaches and administrators sang
We Are The World and offered a
warm hug to the Nittany Lions.
The math didnt work how do
you schedule 11 teams? The travel
wasapainevertrytoget toState
College, Pa.? And there was the
troublesome problem of what to
call the newentity. The Big11? The
Big Misnomer?
The pragmatist in the grand de-
sign was Penn State football coach
Joe Paterno. In 1990, hed already
been in charge of the Nittany Lions
for 24 years and, amazingly,
would remain coach for 22 years
more.
Penn State had been an inde-
pendent for 106 years before it
joined the Big Ten. The Big Ten
hadnt added a school since Michi-
gan State in1949.
Paterno knewthe change would
be difficult on everyone.
The (Big Tens) presidents
made an invitation and we accept-
ed it, Paterno said then. Its not
goingtobeeasy, though. I havealot
of empathyfor coaches andathletic
directors who have to make this
happen. The easy part was done by
thepresidents. Thehardpart has to
be worked out by others.
For the record, not everyone in
Happy Valley was sold on a confer-
ence affiliation, either.
One caller to a radio talk show
said, I thinkPennStatetookastep
down. I see Penn State giving ev-
erything to the Big Tenandgetting
nothing back in return.
For years, PennStatehadtriedto
create an Eastern conference, but
had failed. Most neighboring
schools didnt look at football the
same way Penn State did. Plus,
there were differences in size, aca-
demic goals and geography to ad-
dress. At least theBigTenwascom-
prised of like universities in contig-
uous states.
Still, even Penn State alumni
were lukewarmtothe lackof estab-
lished rivalries and having to travel
over1,000miles towatchthe Nitta-
ny Lions play at Minnesota.
Its been mixed, said Peter
Weiler, then Penn States executive
director of the alumni association.
But the temperature is changing.
This thing has been percolating for
awhile. Whenit first hit thestreets,
the reaction is completely different
than what you have now.

EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J.
The New York Giants are Tom
Coughlins team.
The Maras andTischs ownthe
NFC champions. General man-
ager Jerry Reese built them and
made them Super Bowl ready.
This teamthoughis all Cough-
lin. The expression the players
have used in their recent five-
game run to the title game is all
in, and its all in Toms way.
They have bought in100 percent
with their 65-year-old coach, and
he is enjoying every second of it.
When the Giants (12-7) ended
the Patriots 20-game regular-
season winning streak at home
in November, Coughlin was
hoisted in the air by his players.
He loved it.
When they went through a
four-game losing streak right af-
ter that, he kept them together.
And when they won Sunday,
they hugged.
Speaking on a conference call
Monday, Coughlin said he has a
special feeling and a special vibe
for this team, which has over-
comeinjuries andadversitytore-
ach the Super Bowl.
I talk about an atmosphere
that has been created, the coop-
eration between the players and
the coaches and the harmony
that is a great feeling that exits,
Coughlin said. It has been that
type of feeling that has sustained
us over the course of the year,
but evenmore; that has seenpeo-
ple grow closer together.
Coughlin senses a true bond
among the players, one that has
them all working for a common
goal.
On Saturday night they were
lockedinas well as anyteamthat
I have ever been associated
with, saidthe coachwholedthe
Giants to a Super Bowl win over
the Patriots in 2008, You could
hear a pin drop in the meeting
rooms when I visited. It started
out with special teams, then of-
fense and defense. I walked
around and I listened to the
meetings. You could really feel
and sense the focus and concen-
tration. Those are things I appre-
ciate.
Looking toward the Patriots,
Coughlin said the Giants last
game with New England seems
like it too place a long time ago.
He also noted Tom Brady and
company are riding a 10-game
winning streak.
They are anoutstanding foot-
ball team, Coughlinsaid. With-
out question to be able to play at
home and beat a Ravens team
that was playing so well and so
physical and so on, they are play-
ing very, very well.
Defensive end Justin Tuck
said the Giants came into the
playoffs playing their best foot-
ball, muchlike the Packers a year
ago.
We were a team, I felt, going
into the playoffs, that no one
wanted to play, Tuck said in an
interview with WFAN. We
wanted to play the 49ers. We
wanted to play Green Bay. We
wanted the competition. Thats
who we are. Thats how were
built.
Coughlin says his teamknows
what it wants.
I understand young people
and all that goes with that, but
these guys have beenable toreal-
ly create a very strong business-
like approach to what theyre do-
ing, Coughlin said. Whether
you use the word fellowship or
whatever word you want to use,
theres a strong, strong feeling
among this group. Its been a
great source of pride for all of us
as coaches.
The teamarrived back in New
Jersey early Monday after a loud
and happy flight during which
Coughlin said the players ex-
changed high-fives, shook hands
andshareda lookintoeachother
eyes.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Pa-
triots owner Robert Kraft shud-
dered when he saw Tom Brady
take a crunching hit on a 1-yard
touchdownplunge. He evenwon-
dered if Bradys back was broken.
Such a graceful dive. Such a
powerful blow.
It was scary, Kraft said Mon-
day, his momentary fears quickly
put to rest, but he popped right
up.
Brady shook off the body-bend-
ing force of Ray Lewis helmet to
his lower back, spiked the ball
and punched the air in celebra-
tion. He had just scored the go-
ahead touchdown early in the
fourth quarter of New Englands
23-20 win over the Baltimore
Ravens inthe AFCchampionship
game Sunday.
He was OK and so are the Su-
per Bowl-bound Patriots, who
will face the New York Giants on
Feb. 5.
But at the instant of impact,
there was concern in the owners
box where Kraft was sitting with
friends, family members and for-
mer Patriots.
We all shuddered up in the
box, he said. We thought that
his back might have been bro-
ken.
Another unexpected occur-
rence also caught Krafts atten-
tion the vertical leap of the
lumbering Brady. He soared high
over his offensive line, arcing his
back and reaching the ball over
the goal line while clutching it
with both hands.
I actually didnt know he had
that kind of rise, Kraft said with
a smile.
But as Brady was landing, the
picture wasnt as pretty.
He had his head toward the
ground and his legs up in the air
as if he was about to complete a
somersault. Then Lewis, who
had lined up a few yards behind
the line, barreled in for the blow
and sent Bradys legs back from
where they had come. Both play-
ers got up without jawing as their
teammates preparedfor the extra
point.
Thats the way the game
should be played, physical, Pa-
triots wide receiver Matthew
Slater said. This game is not a
noncontact sport. So theres go-
ingtobehits. Weknewthat going
into the game with those guys.
They play physical football and
weknewwehadtomatchthat go-
ing in.
I didnt see it as a dirty hit at
all.
Two plays earlier, on second-
and-goal at the Ravens 1-yard
line, Brady ran off left guard for
what officials initially ruled a
touchdown. But it was reversed
whenreplays showedhis knee hit
the ground before the ball cross-
ed the goal line. On the next play,
the Ravens stopped BenJarvus
Green-Ellis for no gain.
Trailing 20-16, the Patriots de-
cided to go for a touchdown on
fourth down. They got it on Bra-
dys leap with 11:29 left in the
game that the hard-hitting Lewis
stopped just a split-second
late.
I sawhimget crunched, wide
receiver Julian Edelman said.
Im sure if it was reversed, TB
would do the same. (Theyre)
competitors. Whatever it takes to
win that little play, thats what
guys are going todo, especially in
an AFC championship game.
Brady didnt complain.
Its just the way the game was
played, safety James Ihedigbo
said. Its two teams battling for
the AFC championship. Theres
going to be those type of hits and
its all a part of the game. Tomun-
derstood that. Everyone on the
field knew that. Once you
stepped in between those white
lines, thats the type of game that
was being played.

ALAMEDA, Calif. Chicago
Bears offensive coordinator
Mike Tice will not interview for
the OaklandRaiders vacant head
coaching job as originally
planned.
Tice had been scheduled to
meet with Oakland general man-
ager Reggie McKenzie on Tues-
day at the Senior Bowl in Mo-
bile, Ala. But the Bears said
Monday that interview wont
take place because the Raiders
have moved onto the second
phase of their interview proc-
ess.
McKenzie has been searching
for a replacement for Hue Jack-
son, who was fired Jan. 10 after
going 8-8 in his only season on
the job. McKenzie fired Jackson
on his first day on the job, saying
he wanted his own man as head
coach.
The Raiders have been tight-
lipped about the search, but
McKenzie told Comcast Sports-
Net Bay Area that a hiring could
come this week. McKenzie is at
the Senior Bowl scouting for the
draft.
McKenzie has already inter-
viewed Denver defensive coordi-
nator Dennis Allen, Philadelphia
offensive coordinator Marty
Mornhinweg, former Miami in-
terim coach Todd Bowles, New
Orleans offensive coordinator
Pete Carmichael Jr. and Green
Bay linebackers coach Winston
Moss for the job.
ESPN reported Monday that
Allen would get a second inter-
view, which is expected to be
held this week at the Senior
Bowl.
The Broncos finished 20th in
the league in total defense this
season and were 24th in the
league in scoring defense at 24.4
points per game in his first year
as coordinator in Denver.
Allen has been secondary
coachthe previous three seasons
with the Broncos. He has also
coached for the Atlanta Falcons
and New Orleans Saints.
The Raiders are searching for
their seventh coach since 2003.
Oaklandhas not beentotheplay-
offs or had a winning record
since playing in the Super Bowl
following the 2002 season under
coach Bill Callahan.

WNEP news tops in nation
According to the November 2011
Nielsen survey, WNEP-TV, channel 16,
has the highest-rated local newscast in
the nation for its 5:30 a.m., 6 a.m., 6:30
a.m., 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. news-
casts.
In addition, the Moosic-based station
ranked first among all ABC affiliates for
ratings for its 5 a.m., noon, 4 p.m., 7
p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts.
Nielsen ratings and shares are based
on a percentage of the total households
in a market. These rankings mean that
WNEP has the highest percentage of
viewers in its market in these time
periods, and its numbers beat all other
stations in the country.
Tablet sales skyrocket
Tablets and e-readers were a popular
gift over the holidays, so much so that
the number of people who own them
nearly doubled between mid-December
and January, a new study finds.
A report from the Pew Internet and
American Life Project, released on
Monday, found that 29 percent of
Americans owned at least one tablet or
e-reader as of the beginning of this
month. Thats up from18 percent who
said the same in December.
The percentage of people who own a
tablet jumped to 19 from10 between
mid-December and early January. E-
book reader ownership also rose to 19
percent from10 percent of U.S. adults.
TI plans plant closings
Texas Instruments plans to close
computer-chip factories in Houston
and Japan in a cost-cutting move that
will lay off about 1,000 workers.
The layoffs represent about 3 percent
of the 34,800 workers that Texas In-
struments employed as of Sept. 30.
Closing the factories in Texas and
Hiji, Japan, will save Texas Instru-
ments about $100 million annually. The
closures are scheduled to occur within
the next 18 months.
Buffett: Tax policy wrong
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett
said he doesnt blame Republican presi-
dential candidate Mitt Romney for
paying only about 15 percent of his
income in taxes, saying it was mis-
guided federal law that allowed very
wealthy people who make a living
shoving around money to pay a lower
rate than average Americans.
Its the wrong policy to have, Buf-
fett told Bloomberg TV on Monday.

SUBWAY GRAND OPENING
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
C
ustomers placed orders at the Subway sandwich shop in the Hanover Mall on the
San Souci Parkway, Hanover Township, on Monday. The store held a one-day grand
opening under new ownership.
If you thought
Apple was
satisfied with
its current
hegemony over
consumer
electronics,
youd be
wrong. Its getting into the text-
book market with the launch of
the latest version of its iBooks
software.
Textbooks, especially at the
college and graduate level, are
pretty expensive due both to
their specialized nature and
distribution, and their captive
audience. The markup on text-
books hovers in the 30 percent
range. And what do you get for
the exorbitant fee? In some
cases, not much. I
can recall spending
more than $100 on a
single textbook, only
to have the professor
tell us he wasnt
going to use it for the
class.
With iBooks 2 and
its companion program, iBooks
Author, Apple hopes to change
that equation. iBooks Author is
aimed at educators and small
publishers according to Apple,
and allows them to create inter-
active presentations that can be
uploaded to the iBooks Book-
store in a special textbook
category.
Its not just for college stu-
dents textbooks are available
for the elementary and high
school levels as well. These
e-textbooks are typically priced
at about 20 percent of what you
might expect to pay for a print-
ed version, with the added bene-
fit of having educational re-
sources and interactive features
built into the experience.
According to Apple, within
the first three days of launch,
more than 350,000 textbooks
and almost 100,000 copies of
iBook Author were downloaded.
As with any publication sub-
mitted to iBooks, if
the e-textbook isnt
free, it needs to meet
Apples rigorous
quality guidelines,
and Apple retains
exclusive distribution
rights for the docu-
ment.
Last time I checked iPads
were pretty expensive, but since
theyre generally cheaper than a
semesters worth of college
textbooks, Id say this is a pretty
smart move on Apples part.
If it corners the e-textbook
market, both colleges and stu-
dents might be buying iPads in
huge numbers.
From the standpoint of educa-
tors, its an entirely new way to
reach students, although some
elementary and high schools are
struggling to find enough fund-
ing to keep their buildings main-
tained, to say nothing of hand-
ing out iPads to students.
On the flip side, this could be
an indication that perhaps Ap-
ples vision of a future dom-
inated by iPads isnt coming to
fruition as rapidly as it would
like. When it released the origi-
nal iPad, it was billed as a mag-
ical device, that would replace
books, laptops and newspapers
in just a few years. We heard
about how it would change
everything. But it seldom
works out that way.
At the least, iBooks and
iBooks Author are new tools
that educators can take advan-
tage of, and thats not a bad
thing. Perhaps well soon see the
return of an era when every
teacher has an Apple on the
desk, of one kind or another.

Apple takes aim at the textbook market
TORONTO The new chief executive of Research
in Motion said Monday that drastic change is not need-
ed, even as the once iconic maker of the BlackBerry
smartphone confronts the most difficult period in its
history.
The Canadian company turned the smartphone into
aubiquitousdevicethat manycouldnt livewithout. But
followingthedepartureof JimBalsillieandMikeLazari-
dis, who stepped down as co-CEOs and co-chairmen,
Thorsten Heins assumes the chief executive role at a
timewhenAmericansareabandoningtheir Blackberrys
for flashier touch-screen phones such as Apples iPhone
and various competing models that run Googles An-
droid software.
RIMs U.S. market share of smartphones dropped from
44percent in2009to10percent in2011, accordingtomar-
ket researcher NPDGroup. The company still has 75 mil-
lionactivesubscribers, but manyanalystsbelievethecom-
panywill losemarket shareinternationally, just as it has in
the U.S.
Heins, formerly a little known chief operating officer
who joined RIM four years ago from Siemens AG, re-
places RIMs founders after thecompanyhas lost tens of
billions in market value. Balsillie acknowledged in De-
cember that the last fewquarters have been among the
most challenging times the company has seen.
Even so, Heins said on a conference call on Monday
that he didnt think significant change was needed. He
said the leadership change was not a seismic event.
Heins said hes committed to switching the companys
phones over toanewoperatingsystem, whichis expect-
edlate this year. Thats the same planfavoredby Lazari-
dis and Balsillie, who announced Sunday they would
step down from the top jobs, but serve in other roles.
Heins said RIM has to improve its U.S. marketing to
go beyond the traditional corporate customer.
I want us to have a bit more of an ear towards the
consumer market, understand trends, and not just do
what the Street is telling you, Heins said.
Shares of RIMfell 8 percent, or $1.39 cents to $15.61,
followinghis remarks. The stockhadinitially movedup
almost 4 percent in premarket trading.
Heins topprioritywill betoreleasesmartphonesthat
runthecompanys long-awaitedBlackberry10software.
I will do everything I can to make that happen, but I
cannot commit to a very specific date. But, yes, we will
ship BlackBerry devices later this year on BlackBerry
10, he said.

to stay original

NEW YORK Halliburton cant move away from
natural gas fast enough for investors.
The energy services company, a pioneer in North
Americas shale gas boom, on Monday warned that
more customers will scale back gas production this
year duetolowprices. Theforecast loweredthecompa-
nys stock price by 3 percent.
The shift away from natural gas will have a short-
termimpact on our margins, CEODave Lesar told in-
vestors.
But it also comes with some long-term benefits.
Halliburton, which drills wells and gets them ready
for production, is moving with the industry to focus on
fields that holdmore oil thangas. That shouldgenerate
higher revenues than before since oil production tends
to be more intensive, allowing Halliburton to charge
higher contract rates.

HEALTH S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2012
timesleader.com
Q: What causes my
urine to have a lot of
foam? Is it serious?
A.E., Tapps,
Wash.
A: Have you ever
had lemon meringue
pie? Those tall peaks of
frothy white that make
up meringue are made from two simple
ingredients: sugar and egg whites.
When whipped, egg whites will at
first foam, and then stiffen into white
peaks with continued beating. Thats a
result of the unique properties of the
albumin protein of egg whites.
Its normal to have a trace of protein in
normal standing urine, which foams like
meringue as the urine mixes with the
water in the toilet. Some of that short-
lived foam is just due to aeration, much
like the foam youll get shaking a con-
tainer of orange juice. While you cant
whip up your urine to form meringue,
any protein in your urine does tend to
froth. In a healthy person with normal
kidneys, there shouldnt be much protein
in the urine. If there is, it suggests some
injury to the kidneys filtration screen.
How do you check to see if theres
too much protein spilling into your
urine? Start with asking your doctor to
perform a simple dipstick urine
which will detect any traces of protein
in the urine. Normally, we shouldnt
lose more than 150 mg of protein in 24
hours. While foamy urine is usually
nothing to worry about, it could mean
that youre spilling too much protein. If
you are, youve got a kidney problem
that should be checked out right away.
Q: Can a statin drug cause a PSA
number to rise? When I started one, I
noticed my PSA number jumped and
that led to me needing to see a urologist.
I had a biopsy which was negative for
cancer. The urologist and my primary
care doctor offered no answers.
K.S., Manahawkin, N.J.
A: There is no reason why your cho-
lesterol-lowering statin drug should have
caused your PSA blood level to rise. Id
have to say that the rising PSA occurring
around the same time as starting a statin
drug was purely coincidental, because
there are actually a number of studies
showing that statin drugs can slightly
reduce ones PSA level.
The thought is that statins have a
mild anti-inflammatory effect on pros-
tate tissue, thereby causing a decreased
release of prostate specific antigen
(PSA) from the tissue into the blood-
stream. Non-steroidal anti-inflammato-
ry drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen
also appear to have the ability to pro-
duce lower PSA levels during testing.
The herb saw palmetto, the prescrip-
tion drugs Proscar and Avodart, and
even vitamin D supplementation also
can reduce ones PSA level.
Since you didnt apparently have a
prostate infection based upon the lack of
symptoms and the absence of infection
on your prostate biopsy, I suspect that a
bit of non-specific low-grade inflamma-
tion to the prostate tissue from some
unknown cause caused a mild bump in
your PSA level. Fortunately, it turned
out to be nothing to worry about.

you ride an exercise bike at the
same level for an hour, it may
not be beneficial especially
given the time youre putting in,
Knight says. Your body will get
used to it and start to think its
easy.
Add different elements. Instead of
running at a steady pace for an
hour, you might run for 20 min-
utes, bike for 20 minutes and run
Almost any exercise is good exer-
cise. That said, some people
waste time on routines that
arent best for reaching their
goals, trainers say. Here are
general tips from Shaun Knight,
a certified athletic trainer in
Virginia Beach, Va.:
Think about variety, not just time.
Keeping your body guessing is
the best way to torch calories. If
stairs for another 20. For
strength-training, you could
rotate between push-ups, squats
and rowing machines.
Switch up intensity. Increase your
speed or resistance for short
bursts of time. Even if youre just
walking on a treadmill, you can
make the incline steeper.
Focus on more than one muscle
group. Your abdominal muscles
wont look great from crunches
alone you need a full-body
aerobic workout too. You also
wont effectively tone your legs
just by using sit-down resistance
equipment; instead, try a stand-
ing cable column machine that
requires balance and works
muscles from different angles.
Schedule time with a trainer. Even
if you can afford just one ses-
sion, you can learn correct form
for favorite exercises to prevent
wasted energy and injury.
Understand your goals. If you
want to lose weight, exercises
that isolate one muscle group
biceps curls or calf lifts wont
be much help. But if youre try-
ing to tone your arms or calves,
those curls and lifts are impor-
tant.
Shorten breaks. Resist the urge to
rest for more than a minute or
two between machines during
circuit training. And cut socializ-
ing by putting on headphones
until your workout is done.

Is your backbotheringyou? Re-
search shows that moving can be
the best medicine. Here, Preven-
tion reveals three ways to send
painpacking.
1: Stretching: A recent study
found that stretching is just as ef-
fective as yoga at reducing back
pain. Stretching of any kind,
whetherstatic(youholdthepose)
or dynamic (you move through a
complete range of motion), can
help improve flexibility and de-
crease back-pain risk and symp-
toms.
2: Yoga: Tworecentlypublished
studies found that people who
practiced yoga had less pain and
more mobility than those who
simplyfollowedaself-carebookon
back-pain relief. Yoga combines
stretching with strength and bal-
ance poses, which help shore up
weak muscles and release tight
ones. Its alsoa stress reliever; ten-
sioncanleadtoa tight back.
3: Pilates: A small Canadian
study found that patients with
nonspecific lower-back pain who
didaPilates workout for 4.5hours
a week reported significantly less
pain and disability one year after
starting the program than those
who simply followed a doctors
care. Pilates strengthens the core
musclesthatsupportthespine,de-
creasing your risk of injury. It also
boosts flexibility, making it easier
tomove without pain.

W
hen its workout time at Core Fit-
ness Chicago, out comes the
sledgehammer. And the 80-
pound bag of mulch. And the 2010 Jeep
Grand Cherokee for pushing across a
rooftop parking lot while someone steps
lightlyonthe brake.
As if it even needs to be said: Dont
evenbother lookingfor a treadmill.
If such exercise sounds ambitiously
modern, its not; thosetools aremeant to
imitate the way humans stayed healthy
10,000years ago.
Called Paleo, primal, caveman or
the umbrella termof the moment an-
cestral, the regimen replaces contempo-
rary working out with real-life move-
mentsthatourPaleolithicancestorsused
to survive: pushing, pulling, lifting,
squatting, bending, walking and the oc-
casional high-intensitysprint.
Hence, pushinganSUVandpounding

it, itjustintimidatedme,saidTriciaKell-
er, 22, who has taken the Train Like
Jane class for a year.
Now she drags the weighted sled as
fiercely as anyone. I feel like if I went
back to a regular gym, I wouldnt see
these kinds of results and Id get burned
out, she said
Ancestral exercise, which for many
people includes a diet component heavy
on meats and vegetables and forsaking
dairyandgrain, slowlyhas crept intothe
mainstreaminrecentyears. TheCrossFit
exercise regimen, which includes many
primal philosophies, has developed a
strongnational following, andtherecent-
ly formed Ancestral Health Society held
its first Ancestral Health Symposium

Human tears are thought to be
unique in the animal kingdom, in
that theyre oftentiedtoour emo-
tional state but thats not the
only special property they pos-
sess. Proteins in tears can protect
against harmful bacteria, and
now a team of University of Cali-
fornia-Irvine researchers has
shown how.
Lysozymes are antiseptic pro-
teins found in a number of bodily
fluids, includingtears. Their anti-
bacterial properties were first
identifiedbyNobel laureateAlex-
ander Fleming, discoverer of pen-
icillin, in the1920s, but it was un-
clear how these proteins could
take out bacteria much bigger
than them. The bodys defensive
army of white blood cells, after
all, protects by engulfing and de-
stroying invading bacteria; lyso-
zymes must work by a very differ-
ent mechanism.
Now, ina paper releasedonline
Thursday by the journal Science,
researchers have foundthat these
proteins work by using jaws to
chew through cell walls, destroy-
ing the bacteria in the process.
Figuring this out was no easy
task: As the protein binds with
the molecule its affecting, it un-
dergoes subtle shape changes
that can tell researchers what ex-
actly the protein is doing. The
problemis, this process is hard to
keep track of. The scientists had
to build a tiny transistor and
stuck a single protein molecule
on its carbon-nanotube live wire,
essentially tracking the electron-
ic noise the proteingave off as it
shifted around.
The technique they used will,
they hope, also be useful in de-
tecting cancerous molecules,
long before conventional detec-
tionmethods wouldpickupsigns
of the disease.
Proteins in tears

Los Angeles Times
More than 500 people came
togetherfromacrossthecountry
in Los Angeles for the symposi-
um, which included seminars
suchasOrganicFitness: Howto
Train Like a Hunter-Gatherer.
The next Ancestral HealthSym-
posium will be at Harvard Uni-
versityinAugust.
Theres anatural community
coming together around these
ideas, said Brent Pottenger, a
medical studentwholivesinBal-
timore and is co-founder of the
Ancestral HealthSociety.
No two adherents will agree
exactlyontheideal ancestral ex-
ercise routine. For every person
whoswears by barefoot running
(Paleolithics didnt have shoes
as we know them, after all), a
handful of otherswill call theno-
tionabsurd. Buttherearemostly
commonalities, andat thetopof
thelist isthat themodernnotion
of exercisehas goneastray.
Theargumentisthis: Whenhu-
mans began planting crops and
building societies after nearly 2
millionyears of huntingandgath-
ering,webetrayedourgeneticdis-
positions. And as technology has
improved from elevators to
email weve only done our-
selves a greater disservice by be-
coming more sedentary. Weve
made up for it with a misguided
exercise industry focused on mar-
ketingrather thanhealth.
Forget the concept of cardio,
said Mark Sisson, a former mara-
thonerwhohaswrittenfourbooks,
including The Primal Blueprint,
and who blogs about ancestral liv-
ingat marksdailyapple.com.
Lacing upyour shoes for a 5- to
15-mileruneverydayisantithetical
to health, he said. Its a concept
somepeoplehaveatoughtimeem-
bracing because they think they
havetogotothegymandburn450
caloriesontheelliptical machineor
theyreabadperson.
Instead, hesaid, doas our Paleo-
lithic ancestors did: walk. He sug-
gests walking at least one to three
miles aday, plus maintainingalow
level of activitythroughout theday.
We were borntowalk, migrate,
climb,forageallthesethingsthat
arelow-level aerobicactivities,Sis-
son said. We were not born to be
carbohydrate-munchingsugar bur-
ners.
Ancestral exercise also places
emphasisonshort burstsof weight-
bearing intensity, however, such as
pushing a weighted sled or pound-
ingatirewithasledgehammer. The
most dedicated adherents create
backyardgymsthat caninvolvecar-
rying rocks, lifting tree branches
and using adult monkey bars for
chin-ups, climbinganddips.
Keli Roberts, aspokeswomanfor
San Diego-based American Coun-
cil on Exercise, said many of the
conceptsof ancestral exercise, such
as interval training and natural
body movements, are admirable
but shouldnot comeat theexpense
of cardiovascular exercise.
Youd be hard-pressed to find sci-
entific evidence that supports inter-
val trainingwithout cardio, Roberts
said. ACE recommends low-intensi-
tycardioexercise, suchasbriskwalk-
ing, fivetimes eachweekfor 30min-
utes or high-intensitycardio, suchas
jogging or swimming, three times
eachweekfor 30minutes.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Like
Id Rather Walk in
Houston (Nov. 12),
I learned to drive as
a high school senior.
My father taught me
in a local park. As I
learned to operate
the car, I gained confidence, but I was
still not ready for street traffic. He
said I was a slow learner, but didnt
force me onto the streets. After sev-
eral more rounds in the park, I was
able to face traffic. Yes, I was uneasy,
but having Dad in the passenger seat
boosted my confidence. I drove with
supervision for several months to get
accustomed to the controls.
My solo drive was prom night. By
the time I arrived at my dates home
I felt as if I had showered in my tux!
After the dance, miraculously, I felt
relaxed and comfortable behind the
wheel.
My supervised driving was a big
help. Talking about safe driving and
seeing videos may not have the same
effect as driving with a critic in the
passenger seat.
Driving Since 59 in Clarksville,
Tenn.
Dear Driving: Everyone seems to
have an anecdote about their early
driving experiences. My office was
inundated. My newspaper readers
comments:
Dear Abby: I had many of the same
fears. I was afraid something bad
would happen if I was driving alone
in the car. Even though I was 18, I
didnt feel old enough or responsible
enough to be driving.
Once I got my license, I loved driv-
ing! If I had realized earlier what a
sense of freedom and maturity get-
ting my license would give, I would
have gotten it the day I turned 16.
Also a Late Driver
Dear Abby: Rather has good reason
to fear driving: Motor vehicle crashes
are the leading cause of death among
U.S. teens. In 2009, about 3,000 teens
ages 15 to 19 were killed and 350,000
were treated in emergency rooms.
After graduation she can choose a col-
lege in an urban area with sidewalks,
bicycle lanes and good public transit
and minimize the need to drive.
People who walk are less likely to
experience many health problems.
They are not the ones who should
consider talking to a therapist. Rath-
er, it is those drivers who account for
the 65 percent of trips under a mile
that are taken by car.
Promoting Transportation Safety
Dear Abby: If Rather wants to
drive and just needs to get past the
initial fear that comes along with the
enormous responsibility, then your
advice was on target for how to get
over her insecurity. However, if she
just prefers to walk, I can tell her
from personal experience that a per-
son can function just fine, especially
in a large city.
I took drivers ed when I was 16
and never got comfortable driving,
nor did I feel the need to get my li-
cense. I am now 33, living in a large
city. I walk to my job, the grocery
store and anywhere else I need to go.
If I choose to venture farther, there is
public transportation. I am self-suf-
ficient. I have never yearned to have
my drivers license, and I am totally
comfortable being a pedestrian.
Happy On Foot in Milwaukee
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Fathers patient instruction gave teen confidence behind the wheel
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll be
highly productive, putting out a
stream of quality work. Your cre-
ativity is matched by your mar-
keting skills. Youll present things
in an irresistible light.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
find others who enjoy the same
things as you do. The chance to
talk about the specifics of your
interest doesnt come along
every day, and youll enjoy get-
ting into the deeper levels of
knowledge on this topic.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Give your
curiosity free rein, and youll find
that you have many questions
about those in your network
of acquaintances. Start asking
questions. Theres much to be
mined there.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
be made aware of exciting
options. Maybe the options were
always available to you and you
just didnt realize it before. This
new awareness gives you a fresh
sense of freedom.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll feel
more attuned to a loved one,
and youll be compelled to watch
this person with great attention.
What you observe will increase
your respect for this person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Think
about all of the people who prof-
it from the work you do. Value
your gifts, and they will, too. This
is an excellent time to push for a
much bigger share of the bounty.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
people in your life are a mix of
wonderful and not so wonder-
ful. You wish you could take the
good and leave the bad, but
instead you have to accept the
whole mix.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being
well rested will make it much
easier for you to steer the action
with your higher mind. Get the
sleep you need, and tomorrow
youll have increased powers.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
In order to feel emotionally in
control, you may have to deal
with lingering family issues. This
doesnt have to excite drama.
It can be done privately in your
own journal or meditation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You havent felt compelled to
reach out to certain friends in a
long time, though you do feel a
strong kinship. The spirit of your
love thrives sometimes in spite
of evidence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Remember that other people
dont know what you know. Avoid
slipping into talk that is so spe-
cific to your work or culture that
outsiders wont understand it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It will
be helpful to acknowledge your
own fears relating to security
and your ability to earn. Take
a look at the way youve been
spending your money, and initi-
ate a plan.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 24).
You have a strong instinct for
making money in the first part of
the year. Cut down on expenses
so you can invest in yourself.
Youll have to work harder to
stay on course in May, but in
June, it will actually benefit you
to give in to some of the delight-
ful distractions around you.
Seize the moment! Capricorn
and Sagittarius people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 9,
10, 49, 22 and 19.
