SCRANTON Decrying the wave of
public corruption cases that have eroded
public trust, a federal judge on Monday
largely rejected pleas for leniency from
former Lackawanna County commission-
ers Robert Cordaro and A. J. Munchak,
imposing sentences that were more than
double what attorneys for the men had
suggested.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo
sentenced Cordaro, 50, to11years in pris-
on, while Munchak, 65,
was sentenced to seven
years for their convictions
on multiple corruption
counts. Cordaro also was
ordered to pay $98,856 in
restitution and to forfeit
$355,000.
Cordaro had hoped for a
sentence of not more than
four years, while Munchak
had pushed for a sentence of three years
or less. It could have been much worse,
however, as prosecutors had sought 20
years for Cordaro and 15 years for Mun-
chak.
In imposing the sentence, Caputo
noted both men had taken part in charit-
able events throughout their lives. But
the good they had done was outweighed
by the harm they caused by violating the
public trust, he said.
Electedofficers are supposedto do the
greatest good for the greatest number of
people, not to profit personally, Caputo
said. This is contrary to the system we
live under. That, to me, is an important
factor in considering the sentence.
Munchak bowed his head and leaned
forward on a table as Caputo rendered his
decision after nearly three hours of testi-
mony at the joint sentencing hearing. He
andhis family members showedlittle oth-
er emotion as the sentence was read.

NUANGOLA Borough coun-
cil acted Monday night to ap-
prove a loan guarantee with the
Mountain Top Area Joint Sewer
Authority for $25,000 in funding
that will be used to obtain per-
mits from county and state agen-
cies for its proposedsanitarysew-
er system.
Excavation and construction is
tentatively scheduled to begin in
the spring of 2012.
The guarantee entails a prom-
issory note that the Nuangola
Sewer Authority will enter into
to fund a series of permits that
Quad3engineers must obtainbe-
fore advertising for construction
bids.
Rich Kresge, Quad 3 engineer,
said the cost of these permits in-
clude: $15,800 to the Luzerne
County Conservation District;
$500 to Luzerne County Clean
Water Fund; $2,360 to the Penn-
sylvania Clean Water Fund and
$500 to the Pennsylvania Water
Quality Management Agency.
Kresge saidthere are some oth-
er agencies andmunicipalities in-
volved, which in the end will con-
sume nearly all of the $25,000.
David Pekar, chairman of the
Nuangola authority, said that at
this point the borough has only a
preliminary commitment from
the Mountain Top authority, but
now that council has provided a
guarantee, final approval is antic-
ipated when the Mountain Top
agency meets on Feb. 13.
Repayment of this loan will be
through $6 million in project
funding Nuangola has pending
fromthe Fulton National Bank of
Lancaster. In conjunction with
this loan, council acted to allo-
cate $150 for a financial state-
ment that council Chairwoman
Regina Plodwick said needs to be
prepared and submitted to Ful-
ton before a loan closing.
Besides prevailing financial is-
sues, Plodwick said Nuangola is
waiting for approval from the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection for its revised
Act 537 Plan, which was submit-
ted to DEP on Jan. 11. DEPs ac-
ceptance of the plan is required
before soliciting bids.
In addition, council also:
Approved the purchase of 22
tons of road salt.
Announced that two 25 mph
signs will beerectedonNuangola
Avenue in an attempt to curb
speeding.
Approved a proposal to have

Road conveyed from the Earth
Conservancy group to the bor-
ough.
Approved Plodwick as the
boroughs agent to FEMA and

ter Councilman Joseph Tucker
declined to serve.
Approved a resolution to sub-
mit a letter of intent for a Hazard
Mitigation Grant to repair a sec-
tion of North End Road, which
sustained some flood damage in
September.
Plodwick also announced that

cials, Michael Angerson of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
and Nuangola officials has been
scheduledonFeb. 15at10:30a.m.

NEAR THE TEXAS-LOUI-
SIANALINEEvenintheir Tex-
as hideout, Jim and Donita Clark
are terrified that wildlife agents
from their home state of Louisia-
na will descend on their motor-
home andseize the four Capuchin
monkeys theyve reared for 10
years.
Four months ago, the couple
fled before authorities showed up
at their house for an inspection,
andever sincetheyvebeenhiding
out with their monkeys all of
themcooped up in the recreation-
al vehicle.
Exotic animal owners like them
say wildlife agents have been
cracking down in Louisiana and
aroundthe country after high-pro-
file cases of exotic animals getting
loose or attacking people. At least
six states have also banned the
ownership of wild animals since
2005, and Congress is also mull-
ing tighter restrictions.
The couple fears the monkeys
will be confiscated and sent to a
zoo if they return home to De-
Ridder, La.
Its not what I fought for ... to
be treated like this, said Jim
Clark, a 60-year-old disabled
Vietnamveteran, as tears streak-
edhis face. Its not right tothink
they can come into your house
and do this to you with or with-
out a warrant.
As Clark talked on a recent
day, the adorable monkeys
looked on from their cages.
Hands gripping the cage bars, a
couple of the hyper, super-in-
quisitive furry creatures capa-
ble of lightning-fast vertical
leaps barely movedandcooed
softly. The motorhome is a far
cry from the DeRidder house
that boasts two monkey play-
rooms and a large outdoor enclo-
sure.
To take these guys out of
their home and throw them in a
zoo? Its like taking a little child
out of a mansion and throwing it
into the ghetto, Donita Clark
said. Its that devastating. Its
destroyed us both emotionally.
Well never be the same.
Crackdowns in Louisiana and
elsewhere have gained momen-
tumsince a maninOhioreleased
his personal zoo of lions, tigers,
zebras, bears and monkeys be-
fore killing himself. The 2009
face-mauling of a Connecticut
woman by a chimpanzee also
highlighted the dangers of keep-
ing wild animals in residential
neighborhoods.
It was a wakeup call to the na-
tionthat we shouldnolonger tol-
erate the reckless decision-mak-
ing by a small number of peo-
ple, said Wayne Pacelle, the
head of the Humane Society of
the United States.
Veterinarians and primate ex-
perts generally agree that mon-
keys like all wild animals
shouldnt be adopted as pets.
They are not animated toys.
Theyre so intelligent theyre dif-
ficult to keep in a stimulated en-
vironment long term, said Dr.
Patricia V. Turner, the president
of the Association of Primate
Veterinarians.
She said monkeys kept in
homes often end up obese and
suffering from emotional stress
that takes the formof self-biting.
Monkeys are garrulous social
creatures and need to be around
their own kind, she said.
In Congress, one proposed bill
would ban unlicensed profes-
sionals from buying, selling or
moving primates across state
lines. Meanwhile, 24 states now
ban the ownership of primates
and11others require permits, ac-
cording to the Humane Society.
Hundreds of cities and counties
also have local bans.
Exotic animal lovers feel like
they are under assault.
So many of us want to disap-
pear, and have our own commu-
nity where we can safely keep
our monkeys, said Ann New-
man, the owner of seven mon-
keys in Arkansas and the presi-
dent of the Simian Society of
America, a membership group
for monkey lovers.

There are a number of con-
cerns when buying or owning a
home, but the state Department
of Environmental Protection is
hoping homeowners pay atten-
tion to a specific odorless and ra-
dioactive gas -- radon.
Bob Lewis, the program man-
ager for DEPs Radon Division,
finds that most people dont real-
ly think of radon, even though
Pennsylvania residents should
worry about the levels in their
home.
Pennsylvania could be one of
the worst states in the country,
Lewis said. Theres a handful of
states that showhigh levels of ra-
don, and were up there. I think
about 49 of the 67 counties in the
state are EPA zoned 1 counties.
Its just a characteristic of our ge-
ography. Its easy for gas to mi-
grate through the ground.
The federal Environmental
Protection Agency splits the
country into three zones of radon
levels, with Zone 1 being the
highest and Zone 3 having the
lowest levels. Pennsylvania just
happens to find itself in a Zone 1
hotspot, wherelevels of radonare
most often above the acceptable
limit. Not all of Pennsylvania is
Zone 1.
Radon is a gas that rises from
the soil. Radon levels are low
enoughoutside that noone really
has to worry about the risk being
outside. However, radon can
build up in enclosed spaces, such
as homes, and increase the level
of indoor radon to dangerous lev-
els.
Radon is the second leading
cause of lung cancer, and the
leading cause in non-smokers.
Radonis expectedtobe the cause
of 20,000 lung cancer deaths ev-
ery year, according to the DEP.
Radon affects the lungs, Le-
wis said. Because its a gas, you
breathe it in. The particles lodge
on the lining tissue in the trache-
al/bronchial part of the lung, and
those particles are radioactive. It
gives off radioactive emissions in
the lung, whichaffects the DNA.
There isnt a set exposure level
of radon that means all residents
will get lung cancer. Those who
smoke are much more likely to
get lung cancer when being addi-
tionally exposed to radon, while
it could be hit-and-miss for non-
smokers who live in homes with
high levels of radon, especially
depending on how long a person
has lived in that home.
The best possible thing you
can do is test your house, Lewis
said. Its so easy to do. You can
get a test kit that costs $25 or $30
froma home center and test your
house. We generally test in the
basement, so you get the worst-
case scenario number. People
dont realize they couldtest for it.
Ive been doing this for 25 years,
and that seems to be the biggest
misconception.

WILKES-BARRE A former city
police officer filed a suit in Luzerne
County court late last week against
his former attorney who is now a
county judge alleging he received
no money from a $95,000 settle-
ment in a 2007 injury case.
George Cole, of South Main
Street, said in a lawsuit filed by his
attorney Paul Perl-
stein that Michael
Vough, his former
attorney, was neg-
ligent, fraudulent
and breached a
contract when he
paid the city more
than $60,000, the
amount remaining
after legal fees were taken out.
Vough recently won a 10-year
term as Luzerne County judge on
the Court of Common Pleas.
Vough did not return a message
seeking comment Monday. Typical-
ly, those who serve in a judicial ca-
pacity are barred from commenting
on litigation.
The settlement stems from a
2007 lawsuit Cole filed after an in-
cident on Park Avenue in Wilkes-
Barre.
Cole says in the suit he was in
pursuit of a crime suspect when he
slipped on an icy sidewalk and fell.
Cole sued the property owners
and a settlement for $95,000 in the
case was made in February 2010.
Cole received Heart and Lung Act
benefits from the city as compensa-
tion for his wage losses and pay-
ment of his medical expenses.
Cole says in the suit Vough paid
himself $31,666 as his fee and
$2,379 as reimbursement for costs.
Cole alleges the remaining $60, 954
should have been paid to him, but
instead, Vough negligently, care-
lessly or recklessly paid that mon-
ey to the city of Wilkes-Barre as sat-
isfaction for a lien the city had on
Coles recovery, despite that Cole
was an employee of a political sub-
division of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, (and) enjoys com-
plete immunity from any claim.
Cole now says he should receive
the entire $95,000 from the original
suit, plus damages and costs from
the most recent filings.
Cole cites negligence, conversion,
breach of contract, fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty and unjust enrich-
ment as reasons for filing the suit.
Coles name was recently in the
news this past summer when the
city of Wilkes-Barre filed an appeal
of a court ruling that scuttled its
efforts to recoup part of a $500,000
settlement paid to Cole for injuries
suffered when his cruiser was struck
by another vehicle.

Glen Summit suit halted
A lawsuit filed in late December in
Luzerne County Court against the
Glen Summit Company, several of its
current, former and past officers, and
Luzerne County, was marked dis-
continued Monday.
The discontinuance, though not
detailed, could mean a settlement or
other agreement was reached.
The request for discontinuance
was made by Richard Manning, a
resident of the Glen Summit commu-
nity who filed the lawsuit.
Specifically named in the lawsuit
were former board directors Cathe-
rine Hourigan, David Hourigan, Ruth
Hughes and her husband, a Luzerne
County judge, Richard Hughes, as
well as Luzerne County Director of
Assessments Anthony Alu and Lu-
zerne County, Fairview Township
and the Crestwood School District.
The suit alleges insider trading
and rigging of real estate taxes and
requested that a judge impose an
election of directors so each stock-
holder will have a vote for one of six
directors on the board; that proper-
ties be reassessed by the county; and
that a judgment for money damages
in favor of Glen Summit against the
named defendants be entered, as
well as costs and legal fees.

Barletta urges heating aid
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
has co-authored a letter to President
Barack Obama asking him to main-
tain or increase heating assistance
funding for low-income senior citi-
zens and veterans.
A Jan. 26 letter coauthored by
Barletta and Rep. Edward Markey,
D-Mass., calls on the president to
request at least $4.7 billion for the
Low Income Home Energy Assist-
ance Program in Fiscal Year 2013.
More than 100 House members
Republicans and Democrats signed
the letter.
LIHEAP helps low-income families
pay their heating bills through a cash
grant sent directly to the utility or as
a crisis grant for those in immediate
danger of being without heat.
LIHEAP funding this fiscal year
topped $3.4 billion almost $1 bil-
lion more than Obama had request-
ed. Almost $210 million is allocated
for the Pennsylvania program.
Barletta said many veterans who
might be eligible for LIHEAP are
unaware they might qualify.

The seasonably adjusted unemploy-
ment rate in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
region dipped to 8.9 percent in Decem-
ber, seven-tenths of a percent lower than
in December 2010 and the lowest since
April 2009.
But the rate remained the highest in
Pennsylvania by a half of a percentage
point among the states 14 major labor
markets.
The local data is included in a report
released today by the Department of La-
bor and Industrys Center for Workforce
Information & Analysis.
While the dip in unemployment rates
was viewed as positive by some local
economists, they were cautious about a
reduction in the number of jobs within
the region.
The seasonally adjusted non-farm jobs
total decreased by 400 to 253,600 in De-
cember, making this region one of only
four toshowamonthlydecline. However,
this followed Novembers huge gain of
2,200 jobs, which was the largest single-
month increase since June 2007 for the
region that includes Luzerne, Lackawan-
na and Wyoming counties. Over the year,

the MSAwere downby 200, a decrease of
less than 0.1percent. Still, jobs shrank lo-
cally while they grew statewide.
Tim Kearney, a business professor at
Misericordia University, said that while
its good to see the seasonally adjusted
unemployment rates move lower. My
concerns remain on the question of the
labor force, which is also falling. That
could reflect workers being discouraged
about job prospects. What that means, is
that we are seeing more modest job
growth than the drop in the unemploy-
ment rate would imply. If the economy
turns around, it could mean a higher un-
employment rate -- better prospects
could mean more people returning to the
labor force. Ironically, a better labor mar-
ket could translate into a higher unem-
ployment rate.
Anthony Liuzzo, director of the master
of business administration program at
Wilkes University, agreed that people are
dropping out of the employee pool be-
cause theyre not happy withthe prospec-
ts of being hired. Some people are just
giving up and some people just feel that
this is not a good time, so theyre tempo-
rarily halting their search, Liuzzo said.
That drop in the labor pool is partly re-
sponsible in the drop in the unemploy-
ment rate.
But it doesnt mean things arent get-
ting better.
Were moving in the right direction,
Liuzzo said. Were still in a painfully
slow recovery.
Pennsylvanias unemployment rate de-
creased three-tenths of a point to 7.6 per-
cent from November, while the United
States rate decreased two-tenths to 8.5
percent.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- In a special
session Monday night, township council
passed a code of conduct for all township
employees.
The code includes requirements for per-
sonal conduct and prohibits use of an em-
ployees position for personal or private
gain.
It also prohibits private employment in
conflict with official duties, limits the kind
of gifts anemployeemayreceiveandlimits
gifts from any one donor to a value of $75
within a 12-month period.
It also prohibits the use of township
property and services for personal purpos-
es or gain unless specifically authorized.
Asked after the meeting if the newcode
had any affect on already filed charges
against Volunteer Fire Department Chief
John Yuknavich, solicitor Bruce Phillips
said, No, only forward.
Whenaskedwhy the townshipis adding
this code now, Phillips said, Weve had
some problems here.
Askedabout a recent state police raidon
the fire hall and township building, Mayor
Carl Kurensaid, Wehavenothingtohide.
Phillips, speakingabout Yuknavich, said,
Hes not guilty yet. And we didnt make
himchief.
State police at Wyoming arrested Yuk-
navich in December on charges he stole
thousands of dollars fromthe department.
Yuknavich, 48, also is facing a drunken
drivingcharge inrelationtoa Plains Town-
ship incident in November.
State police allege Yuknavich stole
$11,865 from the township fire depart-
ments bank account between October
2008andAugust 2010, andusedthedepart-
ments credit card at Sams Club in the
amount of $3,706 for personal purchases.
Before the vote, council member Katie
Arnone asked about the section that re-
quires an employee to notify the council if
heorsheischargedwithamisdemeanoror
felony.
Phillips said this would apply only to se-
rious crimes.
The code allows the council to put an
employee charged with a serious crime on
unpaid or paid suspension.
What wouldconstituteapaidor unpaid
suspension? council member Jerry Shinal
asked.
Its up to the council, Phillips said. It
depends on the circumstances of the indi-
vidual case.
All this is in conjunction with collective
bargaining and would apply to all employ-
ees. It will not change the collective bar-
gaining agreement, he said.

PLAINS TWP. A woman
accused of stealing almost
$40,000 from a Pittston
Township eatery while she
was employed as a part-time
waitress waived her right to a
preliminary hearing on Mon-
day.
Meggan Ambrose, 21, of
Mill Street, Pittston, waived
two felony counts of theft to
Luzerne County Court.
Assistant District Attorney
Brian Coleman withdrew a
charge of receiving stolen
property against Ambrose.
Pittston Township police
allege Ambrose stole $39,316
from January 2010 to Novem-
ber while employed as a wait-
ress at Savos Restaurant on
the Pittston By-Pass.
Ambrose was employed at
the restaurant for about five
years.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Restaurant owners on Nov.
9 noticed a receipt handled
by Ambrose had been voided.
When confronted by the own-
ers, Ambrose stated she void-
ed the payment in place of a
credit card.
A review of credit card
sales did not match the re-
ceipt from the customer Am-
brose had waited on, the com-
plaint says.
A review of cash register re-
ceipts and balance reports
that were handled by Am-
brose in 2010 and 2011 alleg-
edly showed she stole $8,754
in 2010 and $30,562 from Ja-
nuary to November 2011, ac-
cording to the complaint.
Ambrose is expected to
plead guilty to the two felony
theft counts.
If she does not enter a plea
agreement, Coleman said,
the receiving stolen property
charge will be reinstated.
Attorney Thomas D. Wil-
liams represents Ambrose.
A formal arraignment is
scheduled on April 5 in coun-
ty court.
Ambrose remains free on
$10,000 bail.

HARRISBURG Long-time
state House Democratic leader
Bill DeWeese acted decisively to
root out illegal activity and tried
to enforce ethics rules in a hyp-
er-political environment, a law-
yer who represented the caucus
in the early stages of the investi-
gation that prompted DeWeeses
corruption trial said Monday.
William G. Chadwick Jr. told
jurors that DeWeese recruitedhis
Washington law firm to get to
the bottom of whatever was go-
ing on in the wake of news re-
ports in early 2007 about legisla-
tive staffers receiving bonuses
that possibly were illegal rewards
of taxpayers money for cam-
paign work. The hiring was rati-
fied by other caucus leaders, he
said.
Based on evidence gathered in
a state grand jury investigation,
DeWeese fired seven senior staff
members in November 2007, in-
cluding his own chief of staff,
Mike Manzo, who pleaded guilty
in 2010 and testified against his
ex-boss.
Asked by defense lawyer Wil-
liamCostopoulos to describe the
meeting with Manzo, Chadwick
said, He turned to Bill and said,
Im sorry I let you down, boss.
He started to cry.
Chadwick, a former Philadel-
phia prosecutor and former
Pennsylvania inspector general,
saidDeWeese directedhis firmto
overhaul ethics rules and insti-
tute a training programto ensure
employees understood they
could not do campaign tasks dur-
ing the work day unless they
were on authorized leave.
It was a very mushy environ-
ment. The (old) rules werent
clear. People werent following
them, he said as the defense
opened its case following four
days of prosecution testimony.
Chadwick suggested it may be
impossible to totally separate
politics from legislative work.
DeWeese may testify in his
own defense as early as today,
Costopoulos said.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS
Heavier trucks may get OK
D
rivers could share the highways
with much heavier trucks if Con-
gress decides that the efficiencies of
larger loads trump concerns about road
damage and safety.
The Safe and Efficient Transporta-
tion Act would raise the maximum
weight for commercial trucks that
routinely travel on highways to 97,000
pounds in most states.
The current threshold in most places
is 80,000 pounds unless the truck has a
permit to be overweight.
Supporters of the proposal, including
many companies that ship household
goods in tractor-trailers, argue that it
would reduce traffic, decrease fuel use
and ultimately keep prices lower for
consumers.
Critics say heavier trucks would
severely damage roads and especially
bridges, many of which are crumbling
and need repairs the nation cant af-
ford.
FALL RIVER, MASS.
Dentist gets 1 year in jail
A former Massachusetts dentist was
sentenced to one year in jail Monday
for using paper clips instead of stain-
less steel posts in root canals.
Dr. Michael Clair pleaded guilty
earlier this month to a list of charges,
including assault and battery, defraud-
ing Medicaid of $130,000, illegally
prescribing medications and witness
intimidation.
Prosecutors said Clair sometimes
used sections of paper clips when per-
forming root canals in an effort to save
money. Some of his patients reported
infections and other problems.
Prosecutors, who asked for a sen-
tence of five to seven years, declined to
comment immediately after the sen-
tence was imposed.
Clair, who had a dental practice in
Fall River, now lives in Crofton, Md.

NATO: Afghan plan remains
NATOs top official said Monday that
the alliance will adhere to its plans to
hand over security to local forces in
Afghanistan by the end of 2014, com-
ments that came after France said it
would push NATO to speed up its
timeline for the handover of combat
operations by a year.
NATO Secretary-General Anders
Fogh Rasmussen acknowledged that
the final transition phase, which in-
volves handing over lead responsibility
for provinces and districts to Afghan
authorities, would start from
mid-2013. A number of areas and
towns already have been handed over
to the Afghan army and police since
the transition started a year ago.
Nonetheless, the overall NATO plan
is still pegged on a 2014 pullout date,
Fogh Rasmussen said.

Islam sister-killer to appeal
One of the three members of an
Afghan family found guilty of killing
three teenage sisters and another wom-
an intends to appeal the conviction.
Prosecutors say the defendants killed
the three teenage sisters because they
dishonored the family by defying its
strict rules on dress, dating, socializing
and using the Internet.
A jury on Sunday found Mohammad
Shafia, 58, his wife, Tooba Yahya, 42,
and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of
murder in what the judge said resulted
from a twisted concept of honor.
Hameds lawyer, Patrick McCann,
said Monday his client will appeal and
he believes the other two will as well.
A Canadian imam says the case gal-
vanized the Muslim community to
address the issue of honor killings.

BEIRUT Syrian forces
heavily shelled the restive city
of Homs on Monday, and
troops pushed back dissident
troops from some suburbs on
the outskirts of Damascus in an
offensive trying to regain con-
trol of the capitals eastern
doorstep, activists said.
President Bashar Assads re-
gime is intensifying its assault
aimed at crushing army defec-
tors and protesters, even as the
West tries to overcome Russian
opposition and win a new U.N.
resolution demanding a halt to
Syrias crackdown on the 10-
month-old uprising. Activists
reported at least 28 civilians
killed on Monday.
With talks on the resolution
due to begin today, a French of-
ficial said at least 10 members
of the Security Council backed
the measure, which includes a
U.N. demand that Assad carry
out an Arab League peace plan.
The plan requires Assad to
handhis powers over tohis vice
president and allow the cre-
ation of a unity government
within two months. Damascus
has rejected the proposal.
A text needs support from
nine nations on the 15-member

ary Rodham Clinton and the
British and French foreign min-
isters were heading to New
York to push for backing of the
measure in todays U.N. talks.
In a statement, Clinton con-

tal.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Fog
and brushfire smoke cleared
enough Monday to reopen all
lanes of a Florida interstate
where10people diedina mass pi-
leup that tossed wreckage across
the asphalt and left rescuers to
search for survivors in the dark
by listening for their screams.
Another 18 people were hospi-
talized after a long line of cars
and trucks collided early Sunday
ona stretchof Interstate 75 south
of Gainesville.
The Florida Highway Patrol
said conditions were clear when
it was decidedtoreopenthe high-
way early Sunday morning short-
ly before the crashes occurred.
Lt. Patrick Riordan said Mon-
day in a news conference that vis-
ibility quickly deteriorated after
they reopened the highway.
About midnight, the highway
patrol closed Interstate 75 near
Gainesvillebecauseof lowvisibil-
ity but reopened it about 3:30
a.m. Pileups began about 15 min-
utes later, with survivors describ-
ing smoke and fog so thick they
couldnt see.
Riordan says troopers did their
due diligence before a sergeant
and lieutenant decided to reopen
the road. He said drivers have to
be alert and be prepared.
The interstate had been closed
for a time before the accidents be-
cause of a mixture of fog and
heavy smoke from a brush fire
that may have been intentionally
set. The decision to reopen it
early Sunday will be a focus of in-
vestigators, as will the question
of how the fire may have started.

OAKLAND, Calif. It
started peacefully enough: A
midday rally at City Hall and a
march. But as the day wore on,
Oakland was hit by the most
turbulent protests in weeks as
Occupy demonstrators
clashed repeatedly with po-
lice, leaving more than 400
people arrested.
The demonstrations in
downtown Oakland broke a
lull that had seen just a smat-
tering of people taking to Oak-
lands streets in recent weeks
for occasional marches that
bore little resemblance to the
headline-grabbing Occupy
demonstrations of last fall.
That all changed Saturday
with clashes punctuated by
rock and bottle throwing by
protesters and volleys of tear
gas from police, and a City
Hall break-in that left glass
cases smashed, graffiti spray-
painted on walls and an Amer-
ican flag burned.
AP photos showing the flag
burning including images
of masked protesters touching
off the blaze, a woman urging
protesters not to burn it, and
another of an officer stomping
out the fire drew attention
on social networking sites.
At least three officers and
one protester were injured.
Police spokesman Sgt. Jeff
Thomason said there were
more than 400 arrests on
charges ranging from failure
to disperse to vandalism,
On Sunday, Oakland offi-
cials vowed to be ready if Oc-
cupy protesters try to mount
another large-scale demon-
stration. Protesters, mean-
while, decried Saturdays po-
lice tactics as illegal and
threatened to sue.
Mayor Jean Quan personal-
ly inspected damage caused
bydozens of people whobroke
into City Hall, which reo-
pened Monday. She said she
wants a court order to keep
Occupy protesters who have
been arrested several times
out of Oakland, which has
been hit repeatedly by demon-
strations that have cost the fi-
nancially troubled city about
$5 million.

CAIROThree American democracy
advocates barred by Egyptian authorities
fromleaving the country have sought ref-
uge at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, officials
said Monday, as tensions between the
two allied nations sharply escalated over
a probe into foreign-funded organiza-
tions.
The unusual step comes amid a row
over an Egyptian crackdown on U.S.-
fundedgroups promotingdemocracyand
human rights that could jeopardize more
than$1billionof crucial U.S. aidtoEgypt,
one of its biggest recipients.
The investigation is closely inter-
twined with Egypts political turmoil
since Hosni Mubaraks fall nearly a year
ago. The generals who took power have
accused foreign hands of being behind
protests against their rule and frequently
depict the protesters as receiving foreign
funds in a plot to destabilize the country.
The White House said it has discussed
the situation with Egypts military au-
thorities and U.S. officials were working
to resolve the matter as quickly as possi-
ble. But aspokesmanwas careful topraise
Egypt for taking important steps toward
transitioning to democracy since Muba-
rak was ousted.
Weve made clear our concerns about
this issue and our disappointment that
these several citizens are not being al-
lowed to depart Egypt, White House
press secretary Jay Carney said.
Egyptian authorities are preventing at
least six Americans and four Europeans
from leaving the country, citing a probe
opened last month when heavily armed
security forces raided the offices of 10 in-
ternational organizations. Egyptian offi-
cials have defended the raid as part of le-
gitimate investigation into the groups
work and funding.
But the State Departments top human
rights official, Michael Posner, told re-
porters such moves could jeopardize U.S.
aid, sayingobviously, anyactionthat cre-
ates tension between our governments
makes the whole package more difficult.
Those facing the travel ban include
Sam LaHood, son of U.S. Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood, but officials
wouldnot say whether he is at the embas-
sy.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman
Kate Starr confirmed the embassy was
housing civilians.

WILKES-BARRE -- Calling it a
new era for the citys recycling
program, Mayor Tom Leighton
on Monday outlined operational
changes in the transition to a sin-
gle-stream recycling program
that begins next week.
Starting on Feb. 6, city resi-
dents will no longer have to recy-
cle newspaper or cardboard as
separate pickups. The mayor said
Wilkes-Barre is among the first
communities in Northeastern
Pennsylvania to offer the service
to residents.
The Dallas Area Municipal Au-
thority began single-stream recy-
cling on Jan. 1 and Kingston
switched to the program on Feb.
1.
Once the program is in oper-
ation, all permitted recyclable
materials will be pickeduponthe
specified Monday recycling day
in the citys two zones. Details
can be found on the citys web-
site, http://wilkesbarrerecy-
cles.com, or in the city calendar
that was distributed to residents
last week.
Leighton said the single-
stream recycling operation will
increase efficiency and save mon-
ey, while making recycling more
convenient for residents.
Angelo Medico of Northeast
Cartage Inc., Hanover Township,
said the program will save Lu-
zerne County municipalities
thousands of dollars, make it eas-
ier to participate and free up mu-
nicipal workers for other tasks.
Leighton said the number of
acceptable recyclable materials
will increase under the program
to include magazines, books,
milk cartons, junk mail and No.
1-7 plastics. A full-list of accept-
able items is available in the 2012
city calendar.
The mayor said single-stream
recycling will save city taxpayers
money as the tonnage of munici-
pal solid waste collected will de-
crease, minimizing landfill costs
and increasing performance-
based state reimbursements for
recycling operations.
But the greatest benefit tocity
residents will be the convenience
factor, Leighton said.
He said in order for the pro-
gram to be beneficial to the city,
residents are going to have to be
precise in what materials they
place curbside for recycling.
Excessive abuse of prohibited
recyclable materials will cause
the DPW workers to leave your
container curbside, he said.
There will be growing pains as
we implement this new system
andwe askfor residents patience
as we execute the newprogram.
The mayor said for the first
month, residents will be notified
why their recyclables were left
curbside.
But after that initial education
period, inspectors will have to
cite violators of the recycling gui-
delines, he said. It is the only
way that this programwill gener-
ate the necessary savings and
help clean up this city even
more.
W-B mayor hails benefits of new recycling system
Single-stream method means
better efficiency and
convenience, Leighton says.

WILKES-BARRE City police
arrested a man they allege
robbed the Turkey Hill at North
Pennsylvania and North Street
on Sunday night.
Christian J. Myers, 26, was
captured when police found him
curled up and hiding his face
with his hands in the basement
of an apartment building where
he lived at 240 N. Main St.,
Wilkes-Barre, minutes after the
heist.
Police allege Myers placed a
beverage on the counter just af-
ter 10 p.m. When the clerk
opened the register, Myers jump-
ed on the counter, pushed the
clerk and grabbed $40, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
The clerk told police he
grabbed Myers, who shouted,
Let me go, let me go, the crimi-
nal complaint says.
A witness spotted Myers run-
ning from the store and into the
North Main Street apartment
building.
Myers live-in girlfriend, Bren-
na Rucker, 24, told police Myers
was not in the apartment.
Police said in the complaint
that two basement doors were
open and appeared to have been
kicked in.
Myers was found hiding in the
basement, according to the com-
plaint.
In an unrelated case, Myers
and Rucker are facing charges of
criminal conspiracy in Luzerne
County Court. Police alleged
they used credit cards stolen
from a house on Union Street,
Pittston, at a store in Pittston
Township on March 31, 2011, ac-
cording to court records.
The records indicate an arrest
warrant was issued for Rucker
on Jan. 24 on allegations she vio-
lated conditions of her bail by
not contacting Luzerne County
Pre-Trial Services.
There was no record of Rucker
jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility on Monday.
Myers was arraigned by Dis-
trict Judge Paul Roberts in King-
ston on a single count of robbery.
He was jailed at the county pris-
on for lack of $15,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Feb. 9 in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court.

WILKES-BARRE A White
Haven woman was sentenced
Monday to three to 23 months
in county prison, and eight
years probation, on several
different charges stemming
from six different cases.
Cassandra Holmberg, 19, of
Erie Street, was sentenced on
charges of possession of a con-
trolled substance, access de-
vice fraud, three counts of theft
by unlawful taking and three
counts of unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle by Luzerne
County Senior Judge Joseph
Augello.
Holmberg received credit for
time served from Oct. 20 and is
eligible to participate in the
countys Day Reporting Center.
According to court papers,
on Nov. 15, 2010, police said
Holmberg took prescription
pills from her parents. In Janu-

POLICE BLOTTER
HARRISBURGThe speaker
of the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives on Monday
asked a federal judge to rule that
the state legislative district maps
in place for the past decade are
unconstitutional and may not be
used for any future elections.
Revisions to the states legisla-
tive map that reflect population
shifts fromthe 2010 census are in
limbo for now after a new map
was rejected by the state Su-
preme Court last week. Aspokes-
man for Speaker Sam Smith said
the federal lawsuit was filed to re-
solve the ensuing chaos the
state courts decision creates for
candidates seeking to run in spe-
cial elections to fill six House va-
cancies.
Smith, R-Jefferson, sued Secre-
tary of State Carol Aichele in Phi-
ladelphia federal court, arguing
that population changes since
2001 mean that the existing map
violates the Equal Protection
Clause of the14thAmendment to
the U.S. Constitution as well as
terms of the state constitution.
As speaker, Smith must sched-
ule the special House elections.
Department of State press sec-
retary Ronald G. Ruman said offi-
cials hadnot seenthelawsuit, but
added that Smith raised a fair
question.
Obviously, population shifts
have occurred since 2001, Ru-
man said.
The state Supreme Courts ma-
jority has not produced a written
opinion to guide the Legislative
Reapportionment Commission
in crafting a new version of the
legislative map after invalidating
the most recent version.
It is unclear when a new map
will be produced, and Smiths
complaint said he was concerned
that candidates for the six vacant
seats may take legal action of
their owninaneffort to force him
to schedule the special elections.
The 2001... plan was based on
2000 year census data, and is no
longer acceptable because the
2010 census documents show
that the populations for the cur-
rent legislative districts vary
widely due to population shifts
over the last decade, according
to Smiths complaint.
Smith spokesman Steve Mis-
kin said the action was taken to
get the ball rolling, because obvi-
ously we want to get these seats
filled as expeditiously as possi-
ble. And right now, theres in a
sense, chaos. People dont know
where to file.

BRIDGEWATER, Pa. Abor-
ough councilman has been
charged with strangling his lover
more than 30 years ago in a case
that ran cold until advances in
DNA technology helped secure
the mans arrest.
Bridgewater Councilman Gre-
gory Scott Hopkins has been
charged with criminal homicide
in the Sept. 1, 1979, death of 23-
year-old Catherine Walsh. She
hadnt shown up for work that
morning and her father went to
her house and found her lying
face down on her bed with her
hands bound and a bandanna
wrapped around her neck, the
criminal complaint said.
Walsh lived in Monaca, just
across the river from Bridgewa-
ter, a western Pennsylvania bor-
ough of about 700 residents
where Hopkins was appointed as
councilman three years ago.
The 65-year-old Hopkins was
arrested Sunday by state police.
He is being held in the Beaver
County Jail.
Hopkins attorney, James Ross,
said he plans to vigorously inves-
tigate and defend the case and
will probably ask for a bond hear-
ing this week.
After Walshs death, police
identified Hopkins as a possible
suspect. He told investigators he
and Walsh had been in a consen-
sual relationship, but he said he
hadnt had sexual conduct with
her at the apartment for a month.
District Attorney Anthony Be-
rosh said advances in DNA tech-
nology helped secure Hopkins
arrest. State police kept the
sheets on the bed, the rope used
to tie Walsh, and the bandanna in
storage, andthey startedtore-ex-
amine the evidence in October
2010.
Police said they obtained a
search warrant to collect DNA
evidence from Hopkins in De-
cember 2011.
Councilman
charged with
1979 killing
By KEVIN BEGOS
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA A retired
Roman Catholic cardinal with
dementia is competent and his
recent deposition testimony can
be used at an upcoming priest
abuse trial, a judge ruled Mon-
day.
A church official charged with
child endangerment and accused
of keeping pedophiles in minis-
try argues that Cardinal Anthony
Bevilacqua can no longer recog-
nize him, even though he served
the cardinal for more than a dec-
ade.
Monsignor William Lynn, 61,
is the first U.S. church official ev-
er charged in the priest abuse cri-
sis over accusations of adminis-
trative failings.
Prosecutors argue that Lynn
and the archdiocese fed preda-
tors a steady streamof young vic-
tims for decades rather than ex-
pose the church to scandal
and costly lawsuits. Lynn served
as secretary of clergy for the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia
from1992 to 2004. He faces up to
28 years in prison if convicted on
all counts.
His lawyers hint that he wont
go down alone. They stress that
Lynn took his marching orders
from Bevilacqua, who was never
charged despite two grand jury
reports that blasted both the car-
dinals leadership and his 10
grand jury appearances.
They say prosecutors are try-
ing to make Lynn the scapegoat
for the dozens of Philadelphia
priests credibly accused of abus-
ing children.
Prosecutors, though, say Lynn
was among the select few who
had access to sex abuse com-
plaints kept in secret archives
at the archdiocese.
No one was charged after the
first grand jury report in 2005
because of legal time limits.
The second report last year
recommended charging Lynn
with child endangerment;
prosecutors later added con-
spiracy charges as well. In
court last week, they called the
archdiocese an unindicted co-
conspirator.
Lynn is set to go on trial in
March with two co-defend-
ants, a priest and a defrocked
priest who are each charged
with sexually assaulting a sin-
gle boy, based on complaints
filed under newly expanded
time limits in Pennsylvania.
Lynns defense lawyers want to
limit the trial to his handling of
those two men alone.
Prosecutors hope to tell ju-
rors how Lynn and other
church officials handled the ca-
reers of 27 other priests cred-
ibly accused, to show a pat-
tern of behavior.
The judge heard details of
those allegations, which range
from grooming to fondling
to rape, for several days last
week. She pledged to rule by
Monday.
Its very, very difficult, and
maybe impossible, for us to de-
fend 27 or 28 cases, which in-
volve disparate elements and
occurred 20, 30, 40 years ago,
Thomas Bergstrom, a lawyer
for Lynn, argued Monday.
Assistant District Attorney
Patrick Blessington debated
the point.
This case is not impossible,
its (just) unprecedented, he
said.
Defense lawyers may call Be-
vilacqua to court if prosecutors
seek to use his recent testimo-
ny. Bevilacqua was deposed in
late November, to preserve his
sworn statements in case he is
unavailable during the month-
slong trial. The retired cardi-
nal suffers fromboth dementia
and an undisclosed form of
cancer, church lawyers have
said.
Lynns co-defendants are for-
mer priest Edward Avery, 69,
and the Rev. James Brennan,
48.
Brennans lawyer also wants
to keep out the uncharged
priest abuse allegations, lest
his client get swept up by the
tide.
Jury selection is scheduled
for Feb. 21. The trial is sched-
uled to start on March 26.
Judge: Cardinals testimony can be used
Testimony from Anthony
Bevilacqua, who has dementia,
can be used at abuse trial.

STATE COLLEGE Joe Pa-
ternos family said theyll be sell-
ing copies of the late coachs me-
morial service and donating the
proceeds to charity.
A statement Monday from
Scott Paterno says numerous
media outlets have expressed an
interest in selling copies of the
emotional public memorial ser-
vice that drew about 12,000 peo-
ple to a campus arena last week.
The family said theyll soon
launch a website where copies
can be purchased on DVD. The
family says any money generated
by the sales would go to charity.
Paterno died Jan. 22 fromlung
cancer, a little more than two
months after he was fired from
Penn State in the wake of a child
sex-abuse scandal filed against a
former assistant.
The service will air in its enti-
rety today at 7 a.m. on the Big
Ten network.

The Associated Press
HARRISBURG Pennsylva-
nias highest-ranking state sen-
ator said Monday he thinks an
agreement on a sweeping bill to
impose a fee on the booming nat-
ural gas drilling industry can be
finished in a week, right before
Gov. TomCorbett unveils his bud-
get plan.
Senate President Pro Tempore
JoeScarnati saidnegotiators from
the House, Senate and governors
office are trying to agree on the
size of the fee andthe distribution
of the money.
Hesaidnegotiatorsareworking
toward a hybrid solution to iron
out differences over whether the
state or the county that hosts the
drilling should enforce the fee.
Scarnati said Senate negotia-
tors are trying to make a final bill
more appealing to advocates of al-
lowing municipalities to regulate
drilling activity than earlier pro-
posals that passed the Senate.

way to make it work for them.
A school nurse had told her
about the Women with Children
Programat Misericordia Univer-
sity. The program, which cele-
bratedits10thanniversaryinDe-
cember, offers women with chil-
dren free housing in one of two
residence halls on campus, as
well as support and guidance.
The student is still responsible
for tuition, food and books.
I hoped and prayed I would
get in, Kates said.
She did.
And when she graduates this
May with a degree in biology,
she said the opportunity the
school gave her is a key reason.
I have a safe home, no rent
and I get to go to college, said
Kates, 22, with a smile as she
spoke from a small meeting
room on the third floor of the
schools Mercy Hall. Her daugh-
ter, now 5, has known almost no
other home.
Babys humble beginnings
Muchof Lissendas first year of
life was spent with members of
the community while Kates at-
tended high school, worked at a
restaurant and found a place to
stay on her own from night to
night.
Kates mother and two sisters
live in Florida. She had a falling
out with them after another sis-
ters death, and though she
keeps in touch with her sisters,
shes not on speaking terms with
her mother.
A brother is in Scranton and
she keeps in touch when she can
with him. Her father, a truck
driver from Glen Lyon, has
changed his life and is staying in
touch with Kates.
The campus community es-
sentially has been her and Lis-
sendas family the past four
years.
All the support on campus
opens your mind and makes you
feel like you have a family, which
I dont have anywhere else,
Kates said.
By the time she set foot on the
Dallas Township campus, Kates
had to deal with more tragedy
and drama than most people go
through in a lifetime. But she
said the experi-
ences have
made her
stronger, more
motivated and
wanting to
make sure her
daughter never
has to suffer
what she went through.
Recalling the hardships of her
senior year of high school and
her decision to go to college, she
said, I sawwhere I came from. I
knew that I had the potential to
be more than I was at the time
and more than my family was,
Kates said. My daughter moti-
vated me. My faith in God kept
me going.
Downward spiral
The pregnancy wasnt the fac-
tor that started the dominoes
falling.
Instead it was a bullet that
struck and killed 21-year-old
Amanda Kates on June 8, 2006.
Jennifer Kates said that night
changedeverything. Her mother
turned to alcohol to soothe the
pain.
The mom that I knew was
gone the day my sister died,
Kates said.
My family kind of fell apart,
Kates said. I did not want to be
in that type of environment with
my daughter.
In the summer before her se-
nior year at Meyers, with her
daughter now a year old, they
left their house on Wood Street
in Wilkes-Barre to stay at Kates
fathers home in Glen Lyon.
Kates said she didnt feel safe
in the home because of her fa-
thers lifestyle, but she had few
options. But her dad made the
decision one day that he wanted
his daughter and granddaughter
out.
I came home one day and my
belongings were in trash bags on
the front porch, Kates said.
She still wears a silver dia-
mond-studded ring that be-
longed to her sister as a constant
reminder of the woman she said
was more of a mother figure to
me than my mom was.
She recalledhowbadly her sis-
ter wanted to know what the
name would be for her daughter,
something Kates wasnt pre-
pared to share until after she
gave birth.
But at Amandas funeral, she
wrote the name Lissenda Leigh
Leigh was Amandas middle
name on a piece of paper and
placed it in her sisters hand so
shed be the first to know what
name she had chosen.
She was my best friend,
Kates said while flashing her
trademark smile.
After graduation Kates plans
to earn a certificate in dental hy-
giene. She then wants to pursue
a masters degree so she can
teach others.
Time for others
Giving back and paying it for-
wardhas beena missionof Kates
since the community helped
care for Lissenda during her se-
nior year of high school.
She spends a few hours a
month volunteering with the
group College Kids for Girls,
helping to build positive self es-
teem in underprivileged girls,
and she traveled to Jamaica for a
school-sponsored trip to help
bring hope and education to the
island nations poorest inhabit-
ants.
Once I was able to help my-
self I realized how much the
community and the people
around me helped me when I
was in need. I wanted to show
my thanks, Kates said. I want
to be a source of hope for peo-
ple.
She said its a facet of her life
she hopes her daughter follows.
I want to teach my daughter
the importance and benefits of
serving, Kates saidwithasmile.
She smiles throughout the
lengthy conversation and later
says that she loves smiles andits
a reason why shes decided to
pursue a career as a dental hygie-
nist.
Sometimes all you can do is
smile and keep going, she said
when asked how shes been able
to get throughall of lifes adversi-
ties. Nothing that I face now in
my life could ever be worse.

The Ruth Matthews Bourger
Women with Children Program
at Misericordia University was
established in 2000 to help single
women with children reach their
full potential through higher
education.
The programprovides sup-
port, services, housing and fi-
nancial aid for academically
qualified single mothers working
to complete their undergraduate
degree.
The programhas grown froma
pilot project to a successful edu-
cation model that features two
homes dedicated to the program
the Pauly House and the
Rasmussen House, both located
on Lake Street in Dallas, just off
of the schools campus. Funding
comes primarily through grants
fromprivate foundations, corpo-
rations, government agencies
and contributions fromcivic
groups and individuals.
(The program) removes
multiple barriers to success that
single mothers attempting to
earn a college degree are faced
with. Safe and convenient hous-
ing and child care drawmoms to
the program, said Vicki L. Aus-
tin, the programs director.
Austin said that while the
degree is the reason students
attend college, its not the pro-
grams only benefit.
Graduates cite growing confi-
dence in their parenting skills,
better communication skills,
increased self confidence and
improvements in getting along
with others. We strive to main-
tain the emphasis on these skills
so that our students graduate
with not only a degree but an
entire set of life skills.
There are10 mothers enrolled
in the program, living with11
children. Since the program
began, 11participants have grad-
uated and two more will be add-
ed this May.
Program removes barriers
By ANDREWM. SEDER
aseder@timesleader.com
I know what the marching orders
are, and Im going to do my best
to make it work in spite of the
union.
Joseph Piazza
Luzerne Countys prison warden late last week learned that, under the
countys proposed 2012 budget, he must reduce the lockups expenses
by about $2.56 million. He indicated union leaders had offered no
concessions, and he likely will be compelled to lay off 20 workers.
Budget cuts will do
disservice to veterans
A
s Americans, we owe a great debt to
the men and women who have served
in the U.S. Armed Forces in the de-
fense of the liberties we enjoy. We have a
profound responsibility to honor that debt
by ensuring our veterans can obtain assist-
ance in applying for the benefits they have
earned.
Luzerne Countys budget proposal
shows a blatant disregard for the debt we
owe to veterans by drastically cutting the
budget for the county Veteran Affairs Of-
fice.
If passed, these cuts will adversely affect
our veterans ability to obtain assistance.
At a time when the needs of our World
War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans are
increasing, we should not be making it
harder for them to get the help they de-
serve. With so many of our young men and
women returning from military service in
Iraq and Afghanistan, as a community, we
should be looking for ways to increase the
assistance we provide as they face the
challenges of transitioning to civilian life.
It is my understanding that the budget
proposal also strips some funding for the
purchase of flags for veteran service posts
that help to decorate veterans graves on
Memorial Day. This shows a misguided
sense of values among the county lead-
ership in how they choose to allocate our
tax dollars. It is completely disrespectful to
the memory of our deceased veterans.
In 2005, the county commissioners vot-
ed to drastically reduce the Veteran Affairs
Office budget. That decision was met with
significant protests. The decision was
ultimately reversed, and the offices former
director, Richard Wren, lobbied hard for
the current staffing level.
The current director, Jim Spagnola, and
his staff have made the most of the re-
sources provided, securing more than $3
million in new federal benefits for our
veterans last year. In the last fiscal year,
county veterans received a total of $59.7
million in federal VA cash benefits the
third-highest VA expenditure among coun-
ties in the state. A majority of that money
is spent here in the county and it provides
a significant benefit to our economy.
As a taxpayer, I understand the financial
difficulties facing our county; but the solu-
tion to these difficulties cant be to simply
cut the assistance we provide to our veter-
ans.
Throughout history, the U.S. military
has faced every challenge presented to it
and found ways to win even when facing
seemingly impossible odds. The county
council needs to take inspiration from that
honored history and find a more creative
and balanced approach to the countys
budget shortfall.

Leadership W-B class
promotes clinics needs
I
m writing on behalf of Team Free Clinic,
a 2012 class project of Leadership
Wilkes-Barre.
Team Free Clinics mission is to improve,
promote and serve the Wilkes-Barre Free
Clinic through collaboration, commitment,
enthusiasm and volunteerism.
The Wilkes-Barre Free Clinic is a cooper-
ative effort of the downtown Wilkes-Barre
congregations of St. Nicholas Roman Ca-
tholic Church, St. Stephens Episcopal
Church and Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church. It occupies space graciously pro-
vided by St. Stephens Episcopal Church.
The clinic is staffed by a group of volun-
teers comprised of physicians, nurses,
pharmacists, dentists and non-professional
personnel and other volunteers from the
Wyoming Valley. Clinic services are for
adults and are offered free of charge, al-
though donations are greatly appreciated.
As our nation faces one of the toughest
economic downfalls in history, the number
of jobless people, homeless individuals and
those without health care has dramatically
increased. All too often, people in our own
backyards are making very tough decisions
that will affect them for the rest of their
lives. Our neighbors should not be forced
to choose whether to eat or to purchase
their maintenance medications.
That said, the Wilkes-Barre Free Clinic
has been here to help the Greater Wyom-
ing Valley by providing medical and dental
exams, prescription medications and other
services at no cost to the patient.
On behalf of Team Free Clinic, I am
asking for the help of our community.
What better gift is there to give than that
of yourself? The Wilkes-Barre Free Clinic is
in desperate need of volunteers. Physi-
cians, specialists, dentists, nurses, pharma-
cists, attorneys, accountants and other
volunteers are needed.
Team Free Clinic is establishing a data-
base of people interested in serving the
clinic. Time and talent is in demand and
would be greatly appreciated. Please keep
in mind that a few hours a month have the
potential to make a difference in the lives
of those in our community.
The clinic also is in need of basic suppli-
es as well as medical supplies and equip-
ment. Monetary donations are welcome.
No amount is too large or too small.
Interested volunteers and those people
wishing to donate can contact our teams
treasurer, Mary Sullivan, at msullivan@lu-
zerne.edu.
Thank you for your consideration. The
kindness of those living in the Valley with
a Heart is greatly appreciated.

Leighton touts benefits
of single-stream recycling
O
ne of the most innovative and exciting
changes residents of Wilkes-Barre can
expect in 2012 will be the start of the
single-stream recycling program.
We will be among the first communities
in Northeastern Pennsylvania to offer this
recycling service to residents. Starting in
February, you will be able to put all permit-
ted recyclable materials (i.e. newspaper,
cans, bottles, etc.) in one container, and
they will all be picked up on your sched-
uled Monday recycling day for either Zone
1 or Zone 2. Residents no longer will have
to wait for a designated week for newspa-
per and cardboard pickup.
The list of permitted recyclable materi-
als also will expand (a full list is printed in
the city calendar that all residents receive
annually as well as available online at
http://wilkesbarrerecycles.com/in-
dex.html).
The single-stream recyclable program
will increase the efficiency of, and maxi-
mize your convenience with, our recycling
operation. There will be inevitable grow-
ing pains as we implement this new pro-
gram, and I ask residents in advance to be
understanding and cooperative. In order
for this program to be beneficial to the
city, residents are going to have to be pre-
cise in what materials they place curbside
for recycling. Excessive abuse of prohib-
ited recyclable materials will cause the
Department of Public Works to leave your
container curbside. This is not meant to be
punitive but to ensure the success of this
recycling program and its stated goal of
keeping the city clean.
The DPW garage will continue to accept
drop-off recyclables between 7 a.m. and 3
p.m. daily.
In the long-run, the city hopes that in-
creases in recycling will decrease the ton-
nage of municipal solid waste collected,
which will save both the city and residents
money in garbage collection costs.
It is a privilege for Wilkes-Barre to be
one of the pioneers of this innovative recy-
cling effort that is both good for the envi-
ronment and improves the quality of ser-
vices that we offer to you.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2012 PAGE 11A
H
IS FANS ARE calling
Gov. Tom Corbett
courageous for ignor-
ing impassioned pleas
to drop his pledge not to raise
taxes.
The governor would show
more courage if he admitted the
states financial situationwithout
newrevenue is becoming unten-
able especially when it comes
to all the public schools across
Pennsylvaniainfinancial trouble.
The Philadelphia School Dis-
tricts plight might get the most
attention. Faced with a $61 mil-
lion deficit for the 2011-12 school
year, it seems to be struggling to
stay afloat.
But rural and suburban dis-
tricts across the state are in simi-
larly dire straits. Despite making
drastic budget cuts, some dis-
tricts, suchasErie, might runout
of money before the end of the
school year and be unable to pay
vendors or creditors.
The Corbett administrations
callousness suggests it has for-
gottenits legal obligationto edu-
cate Pennsylvanias schoolchil-
dren.
Corbetts first budget slashed
$860 million in public-school
funding. Schools are now suffer-
ing tremendously as a result. Yet
the governor adheres to his no-
tax pledge.
Every school district must
workharder tomaintainits fiscal
solvency. But the state must do
more, too.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
OTHER OPINION: FUNDING CRISES
State is failing
public schools
I
T WOULD BE nice to be-
lieve that Northeastern
Pennsylvanias corruption
troubles will disappear as
former Lackawanna County
commissioners Robert Corda-
ro and A.J. Munchak report for
their prison terms of 11 years
and seven years, respectively.
But dont fool yourself.
The duo whose sentences
were handed down Monday in
Scrantons federal court didnt
invent theconcept of extortion,
nor do they hold the patent on
bribery. They probably never
even envisioned themselves as
criminals. Theyre simply the
latest in a long line of
public officeholders
from this region to
succumb to the al-
lure of easy money
stooges who saw a
culture of corruption
and, rather thancom-
bat it, chose to join the antics.
That culture is the source of
our continuing problems, not
Cordaro or Munchak or any of
the 33 people from Luzerne
County charged and/or con-
victed since January 2009 in a
sweeping anticorruption cam-
paign. The probe so far has im-
plicated, among others, several
school board members, a su-
perintendent, prominent busi-
nessmen, state senators and
county judges. Basically, too
many people whoare supposed
to be pillars of our community
have instead proven to be pa-
thetic.
The Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation can round up the sus-
pected offenders, and the
courts can temporarily lock
away the guilty ones. But its
people like you who can who
must chip away at the culture
until it crumbles.
Report suspected wrong-
doing to police or federal au-
thorities. Always.
A website maintained by the
U.S. Attorneys Office for the
Middle District of Pennsylva-
nia supplies updates on the re-
gions ongoing corruption
cases, information for victims
and the phone number for its
tip line. Visit the site at
www.justice.gov/usao/pam/
corruption.html.
Ask the local leadership of
the Democratic and Republi-
can parties how
they intend to am-
plify anticorrup-
tion messages to
their candidates. If
the answer is, we
dont have a plan
for that, pick new
party leaders. Or a new party.
Question chamber of com-
merce officials and influential
members of the areas business
community. Have they done
anything to kick corruption
from within their ranks and to
promote ethical behavior? If
not, why not?
Urge elected officials on
the newly formed Luzerne
County Council, on public
school boards and other gov-
ernment bodies to encourage
dissent from employees. If
something doesnt seem right,
a worker should not be scared
to bring the matter to a superi-
ors attention.
Dont accept corruption as
the way of the world; chal-
lenge it.
Change the culture.
OUR OPINION: CORDARO, MUNCHAK
Keep combating
corrupt culture
Dont accept
corruption as the
way of the world;
challenge it.

Former Luzerne County chief
clerk/manager DougPape has been
hired as the Nanticoke Housing Au-
thority interim manager, a $78,000
position vacated by the termination
of Jean Ditzler.
Authority Solicitor Vito DeLuca,
alsoacountysolicitor, saidherecom-
mended Pape because the U.S. De-
partment of Housing andUrbanDe-
velopment, or HUD, told himit was
imperative for someonetooversee
operations in the interim.
The permanent position must be
filled through the state Civil Service
system, requiringatest. DeLucasaid
he notified the state of the vacancy
but does not know how long it will
taketocompletetheprocesstofinda
replacement.
Pape said he has not decided
whether to apply for the permanent
position.
DeLuca said he suggested Pape
because he has a masters degree in
public administration, oversaw
county government and was availa-
ble.
His education, background and
experience speaks for itself. We cer-
tainlywereinacrisissituation, andit
was the right choice. I stand by it,
DeLuca said.
DeLuca said he knows Pape pro-
fessionally but does not consider
him a close
friend.
I wouldnever
doanythinginap-
propriate to get a
friend or family
member a job,
DeLuca said. In
the best interest
of the authority, he is the best man

family member of Youngs was
hired for a county job while Petrilla
was commissioner.
In a written statement, Kisen-
wether said Petrilla has a solid re-
cord and, withher hire, we have a
solid team in place to move the
township forward.
Petrillassalarywassetat$53,000
thesameas theprevious manager
Steve Hahns. Her salary as county
commissioner chairwoman was
$42,000.
Hahn was taken by surprise by
histerminationat thesupervisor re-
organization meeting Jan. 3, when
Kisenwether andAltmiller alsovot-
ed to terminate Young as road fore-
manapositionheheldfor22years
and Jim Caffray as code enforce-
ment officer.
Hahn said he thought Youngs
and Caffrays terminations were
political payback, given that Caf-
fray ran unsuccessfully for supervi-
sor against Kisenwether in 2009
and against Altmiller last year and
thatYounghadoustedKisenwether
from his supervisor position in
1995.
Young agreed, noting he did not
openly support either Kisenwether
or Altmiller in their election cam-
paigns.
And I think Steve was guilty by
association just because he worked
withus,Youngsaid, addingthat he
thought his defeat of Kisenwether
might have been festering for
years. Youll have this in a small
town.
Youngsaidhewasassurprisedas
Hahn and Caffray by their termina-
tions. He saidKisenwether andAlt-
miller didnt break any laws by dis-
cussing the terminations in private
because Altmiller didnt take office
until the start of the reorganization
meeting, but he thinks they should
have been given prior notice.
Themoral waytodoit wouldbe
to say they were not satisfied (with
us). I think it speaks volumes of
their character, Young said. I still
thinkSteveshouldbecompensated
forthetwoyearsleftonhiscontract.
I think he was done wrong.
Still, Young said Petrilla is well
qualified for the position and had
the most experience out of all the
applicants.
Hahn suspects Petrillas friend-
ship with Kisenwether and Altmill-
er and the fact that she lost her
county position when home rule
went intoeffect factoredintohisjob
loss.
If I was acynical person, I would
say that the timing of these events
reeks of old-time county politics.
But Imanoptimist andI hope But-
ler Townshipwill continuetomove
ahead as it has over the past six
years and continue to grow and
prosper, Hahn said.
I live here, work here and play
here. I have lots of family and
friends here. And on a personal lev-
el, I want to secure some great em-
ployment soI canbringmoneyinto
the household, and Im optimistic
about that as well, he said.
Kisenwether, whose campaign
committee received contributions
fromPetrillascampaigncommittee
and from her husband, declined to
respond to Youngs and Hahns
comments.
Altmiller said he always like Caf-
frayandneverhadill will about the
guy. He praised his volunteerism
and good intentions and said the
only reason that he and Kisenweth-
ervotedfortheterminationsandre-
placement hires was that we felt
wewantedtotakethetownshipina
different direction.
In a written statement, Altmiller
called Petrilla a tough yet fair ad-
ministrator and, while she was
manager, the township was pro-
gressive andwe were the recipients
of millions of dollars in grants that
help us improve the community
without taxing our residents.
Altmiller said he was unaware of
a recent audit that criticized the
countycontrollersofficeforapprov-
ing $856,101 in payments to a con-
tractor above a cap set ina contract
under Petrillas watch and said he
has no doubt Maryanne will do a
good job.

Pribula said he is trying to
complete the thousands of bud-

the spending plan Thursday
night, though the presentation
may have to wait until Monday if
he needs more time.
The budget amendment must
be passed before Feb. 15, with a
public hearingat least sevendays
after the unveiling.
District AttorneyStefanieSala-
vantis said she is still analyzing
the budget and sent a letter to
county council expressing con-
cerns about the impact of
$680,000 in cuts that would re-
duce her budget to $4.1 million.

County judges also may sue
over $3.2 million in cuts project-
ed for court branches, which
would require an estimated 32
layoffs.
County President Judge Tho-
mas Burke could not be reached
for comment Monday.
County 911Executive Director
Dave Parsnik said he submitted
the requested $4.1 million plan
for his department, reducing
spending $456,406 and on paper
laying off nine workers.
Parsnik said hell have to close-

he cant predict bad weather or

would cause sudden spikes in

be very tight, Parsnik said.
He and other managers say
theyll await further instruction
from the administration on exe-
cuting layoffs.
Everybodys wondering
whats going to happen. I told ev-
erybody its business as usual un-
til I hear otherwise, he said.
County Assessment Director
Tony Alu said he cut $297,633
fromhis 2012 budget as required,
resulting in the elimination of
seven positions instead of the es-
timated three.
Juggling will be required to
keeptabs onnewconstructionon
the 168,000 land parcels in the
county, said Alu, who is slated to
receive $1.03 million to run his
department.
Were hoping that some com-
promise can be reached, and if
not, well prepare the best we
can, Alu said.
Sheriff John Gilligan said he
was able to cut the prescribed
$262,525 by eliminating
$183,000earmarkedfor part-time
deputies andthe salary of a depu-
ty who recently resigned.
Without these options, he was
estimated to lose five workers.
Were pinching and squeezing
and hoping to have enough mon-
ey to go around, Gilligan said.
My big concern is that we wont
have enough deputies in cour-
trooms.
Prison Warden Joseph Piazza
said most of his $2.56 million re-
duction must come from person-
nel because he has fixed costs for
utilities and prison food and
needs something for mainte-
nance.
Thisisanoldbuilding, andwe
have to make sure this place is up
and running because the county
is not going to build a new jail,
said Piazza, who is slated to re-
ceive a $26.4 million budget allo-
cation.
Piazza saidhes preparedto en-
act an estimated 20 layoffs,
though a few expected retire-
ments may reduce the number of
forced furloughs.
Veteran Affairs Director James
Spagnola said he came up with
the $80,473 in cuts with one pro-
jectedlayoff andacross-the-board
reductions, including the elimi-
nation of allocations to outside
veterans organizations.
Spagnola said hes already re-
ceiving complaints from veter-
ans.
County Chief Engineer Joe
Gibbons said he reduced spend-
ing in several departments he
oversees, including road and
bridge andbuildingandgrounds,
but he could not meet the desig-
nated spending caps without

Cordaro also showed little re-
action as he learned his fate. Sev-
eral of his children wept as they
embraced him at the conclusion
of the hearing. He was taken into
custody immediately after Capu-
to rejected his request for a 45-
day delay in reporting.
Munchak was permitted to re-
main free until April 3, largely
due to an unspecified medical
condition that led him to be hos-
pitalized for five days last week.
Both men have vowed to ap-
peal the convictions to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals.
In brief comments after the
hearing, Munchak saidhe felt the
sentence was longer than neces-
sary.
But thats our judicial sys-
tem, he said.
U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith
saidhe was satisfiedwiththe sen-
tence, even though it was signif-
icantly lower than what he had
sought and also was lower than
the sentencing guideline range,
which called for roughly eight to
10 years for Munchak and15 to19
years for Cordaro.
We felt this was a very signif-
icant sentence and appropri-
ately sends the proper message
the court indicated it wanted to
send regarding violations of pub-
lic trust, Smith said.
The sentencing brings to a
close a several-year investigation
that resulted in a multicount in-
dictment being filed against Cor-
daro and Munchak in March
2010.
Prosecutors said the men, dur-
ing their terms as majority com-
missioners from 2004 to 2008, ex-
torted tens of thousands of dollars
from companies that did business
with the county.
The case went to trial in June
2011. Cordaro was convicted of 18
counts, including racketeering,
bribery, extortion, tax evasion and
money laundering for extorting
$400,000 from several businesses,
including Acker Associates and
Highland Associates. Munchak
was convicted of eight counts, in-
cluding bribery and extortion and
tax evasion, for demanding
$60,000 from Highland Associ-
ates.
Addressing the court Monday,
both Munchak and Cordaro ac-
knowledged they were convicted
of the crimes. But neither man di-
rectly admitted to committing the
felonies. They apologized to their
families, but not the public.
Munchak spoke of the numer-
ous community activities he has
been involved with throughout his
life, includingarrangingnumerous
fundraisers for various charities.
He said he was deeply saddened
by the fact that he will not be re-
membered for those deeds, but for
his conviction.
My legacy is that of a convicted
felon rather than one who lived
their whole life caring for people,
he said.
Two of Munchaks children,
Joelle Munchak and Anthony
Munchak Jr., also spoke of the nu-
merous good deeds their father
has done.
Joelle told of how her father
cared for his elderly aunt for years,
and how he helped run a friends
business after the person devel-
oped cancer. Anthony spoke of the
numerous fundraisers his father
chaired.
My father is nothing like the
government has portrayed him.
He is not a goodman. He is a great
man, Anthony Munchak said.
Your honor, please dont let my
dadfinishhis life ina cell. Please
have mercy on him.
Cordaros son, Michael, also
pleaded for leniency.
I knowmyfather. I knowhe is a
great man. What bothers me right
now is the world doesnt know
that, Michael Cordaro said. I ask
you to take that into consideration
and for you to give him another
shot. There is too much good in-
side him not to get another shot.
Robert Cordaro began his state-
ment by thanking his support-
ers. He focused his comments
on detailing the amazing ac-
complishments he and Mun-
chak had achieved for the coun-
tyduringtheirtermsascommis-
sioners.
He and Munchak helped turn
around the finances of the coun-
ty, which he said was bank-
rupt whentheytookover. They
also invested in infrastructure
and were responsible for dozens
of projects to protect the envi-
ronment, he said.
Every act is tarnished it
will be forgotten by the stain of
this prosecution, Cordaro said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna
Graham urged Caputo to reject
both mens pleas for leniency,
noting neither man expressed
remorse for their crimes.
They are remorseful for be-
ing here and that what they did
affectedtheir familyandfriends.
They are not remorseful for
committing the crimes, she
said.
Their crimes were particular-
lytroubling, Grahamsaid, given
theyhadrunfor office onanan-
ti-corruption campaign.
The defendants ran on a
platform of cleaning up the
county. They got elected and
went on a corruption spree be-
yond anything that ever hap-
pened before.
SENTENCES

nate ... a liberal Republican.
GOP officials in Florida were
anticipating a big turnout, more
than 2 million voters, up from1.9
millioninthe Republicanprimary
in 2008. Election officials had al-
readyreceivedmore than338,000
absentee ballots, 37,000 more
than the total early ballots cast in
the GOPprimary four years ago.
In the span of a volatile week,
the tables have turned in this po-
tentially pivotal primary state.
Gingrich rode a triumphant
wave into Florida after a South
Carolina victory nine days ago.
But sincethen, Romneyandhisal-
lies have pummeled the former
House speaker on TV and on the
campaigntrail. Romney turnedin
two strong debate performances,
while Gingrich faltered. Now
opinion polls show the former
Massachusetts governor with a
comfortable lead here.
Romney and Gingrich have
been the only two candidates to
compete in Florida in earnest.
Neither former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum nor Texas Rep.
Ron. Paul campaigned much in
thestate, andtheywereelsewhere
on Monday.
Clearly in command, Romney
flew to stops in media markets in
northern Florida and the pop-
ulous swing regions of central
Florida, determined to keep Gin-
grich fromsurging late.
Romneyrenewedattacks onhis
rival as an untrustworthy, Wash-
ington influence peddler at the
outset of two separate appearanc-
es Monday. He claimed that Gin-
grichs ties to federally backed
mortgage giant Freddie Mac have
hurt the former speaker in a state
wracked by the foreclosure crisis.
He made $1.6 million in his
company, theveryinstitutionthat
helped stand behind the huge
housing crisis here in Florida,
Romney said in Dunedin. Gin-
grichs consulting firm received
more than $1.5 million from the
federally backed mortgage giant
over a period after he left Con-
gress in1999.
Gingrich plowed ahead, flying
to stops in northern Florida start-
ing in Jacksonville near his
home state of Georgia before
touching down in conservative
Pensacola and then Tampa.
Along the way, he tried to rally
conservatives by casting Romney
as an imposter and himself as the
true GOP stalwart. His claim to
conservative principles wasnt
limited to economic issues.
No politician, no judge, no bu-
reaucrat can come between you
and God, Gingrich told an audi-
ence in Tampa. Im a little bit
tired of being lectured about re-
specting every other religion on
the planet.
Gingrich, who has sought to
wrap himself in the mantle of Ro-
nald Reagan, campaigned with
the late presidents son Michael.
HewasalsojoinedbyformerGOP
presidential candidate Herman
Cain, who endorsed himSunday.
A win by Romney would again
reset the 2012 GOP race, seen
early this month as his to lose,
then thrown into doubt by Gin-
grichs come-from-behind win in
South Carolina.
Romney easily won the New
Hampshire primary after nearly
winning the in leadoff Iowa. The
South Carolina setback behind
him, Romney sought to aggres-
sively stop Gingrich, aided by a
well-funded political action com-
mittee that supports him and is
run by former political aides.
Together, Romneys campaign
and the supportive group Restore
Our Future have combined to
spend $6.8 million on television
ads inthefinal weekof theFlorida
campaign, about threetimeswhat
Gingrich and a group supporting
himhave spent.

INDIANAPOLIS Unlike
four years ago when they
dressed in black suits as a sym-
bol of unity before facing the
undefeated Patriots, the Giants
returned to the Super Bowl this
time with no sartorial gim-
micks.
Touching down in Indianapo-
lis for their rematch with New
England on Sunday, the Giants
are simply a confident team.
They believe in themselves as
much as they did in 2008 when
they ruined the Patriots per-
fect season with a stunning 17-
14 victory in Arizona.
We had no doubt, guard
Chris Snee said Monday, refer-
ring to the Giants feelings four
years ago. You have to be a
confident team when you get
on the plane. You reach this
game for a reason. Its not by
chance. You have to be confi-
dent coming out here.
The Giants tried to demon-
strate that four years ago with
their all-black attire.
This year, Justin Tuck left his
black suit in the cleaners. At-
tire was a personal choice.
If there is a difference this
time its not the way the Giants
feel. Its the feeling about them.
If they win, no one will be
surprised. They beat the Patri-
ots in the regular season and
they come to Indianapolis with
almost as much momentum as
New England, which won 10 in
a row.
The streak for Eli Manning
and company is only five, but
the Giants seem to be getting
better each week.
Tuck insisted that teams

HANOVERTWP. Meyers coach Chris Gray
was looking for some balance from his squad.
He got that balance Monday,
as three Mohawks hit double
figures in scoring as Meyers
led throughout a 42-25 victory
over Hanover Area in WVCDi-
vision III girls basketball Mon-
day.
We were coming off a 10-
day layoff, Meyers coach
Chris Gray said. I was a little nervous early
while we were shaking off the rust.
Amy Kowalczyk (15 points, six rebounds, five
steals), Salimah Biggs (11 points) and Jazma
Robertson (10 points, six rebounds) powered
the Mohawks, who used a 12-2 run in the first
half and a 9-1run in the second half to break the
game open.
It was the third time this season Meyers had
threeplayers indoublefigures. All threeof those
games were wins, as the Mohawks defeated the
Hawkeyes in December and Northwest on Jan.
9.
If you can get three players in double figures,
you have some balance, Gray said. We are
coming out looking to improve each game.
Thats what we try to do. The first time we
played them, it was a one-point game in over-
time.
Danielle Tuzinski, one of the areas top score-
rs at 19.4 points per game, had a season-low
three points. She did have a game-high 13 re-

the casket of Joseph Doc Mat-
tioli took a last lap around Poco-
no Raceway, Mario Andretti
couldnt help recounting one last
laugh about his long-time friend.
The guy had his way, Andret-
ti, a legendary IndyCar driver,
said with a chuckle. If you were
caught in one of his temper tan-
trums, you had to take it on the
light side. I always said, though,
his bark was much worse than
his bite. We had our run-ins.
That strengthened our
friendship.
The sport of NASCAR, Pocono
Raceway and its neighboring
communities mourned the loss
of a long-time fast friend Mon-
day, when Mattioli was buried
after the man who built his Poco-
no track on old spinach fields
passed away Thursday following
a lengthy illness.
As a final send-off, Mattiolis
casket was driven around the Po-
cono track he built, owned and
operated until just before his
death at the age of 86.
My heart goes out to the fam-
ily, Andretti said.
That family wasnt limited to
immediate relatives.

They asked Dr.
Joseph Mattioli
to take on a
second NASCAR
race at his track,
strategically
located between
big-city markets
New York and Philadelphia.
And Mattioli said yes, mainly
because the big-hearted man
everyone just called Doc really
couldnt say no.
This was back when the sport
of auto racing was little more
than a national afterthought
when the country got to talking
about major sports. And not long
after Mattioli began putting on a
show twice a year at his Pocono
Raceway, a stock car racing that
was struggling for acceptance
began to grow in popularity. Not
only around Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, around the whole north-
eastern part of the country.
I consider him an absolute
icon of the sport, said his good
friend and former Indy car great
Mario Andretti. He showed
passion, he showed resolve.
Mattioli sure showed some
spunk, too.

ing high-speed pushes to buy
away his racetrack a few years

McDonald finished the game with

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
The best team
in the Wyoming
Valley Confer-
ence resides at
Hazleton Area.
That couldnt
be said in the
beginning of the
boys basketball season with:
Wyoming Valley West expect-
ed to be a force with standouts
Eugene Lewis and James
McCann.
Meyers later getting a huge
boost when Lewis transferred
there.
And GAR returning its entire
lineup that had all the pieces of a
championship caliber team.
But it can be said now after
three very impressive perform-
ances that answered a huge
question about the Cougars.
Were they going to settle for
being a team that went 13-10
overall last season or were they
going to mature with the same
players?
The latter happened, making
Hazleton Area in my opinion
the best the WVC has to offer.
Its a really, really good group
of guys, Hazleton Area coach
Mike Joseph said, that since
Jan. 6 theyve really bought into
playing for each other. Its shown
up and given some really good
results for us.
Teams usually have a go-to
guy, a player that helps others
look better and play better. Soph-
omore Sal Biasi is about as close
to one for Hazleton Area. But
shutting himdown doesnt mean
disaster.
A fewdays after Biasi helped
pound Wyoming Valley West
71-43 with a cascade of three-
pointers, he scored a quiet 14
points in a rematch. Travis
Buckner and Frankie Vito
grabbed the reins, leading to
70-46 victory.
Then there is point guard
Tyler Plaksa, who battled the flu
Friday night in a 49-35 victory
over Crestwood. Joseph asked
him to start and play just three
minutes; he played most of the
game. While Plaksa might not be
as flashy as some Cougar point
guards of the past, he plays the
game with a steadiness and
intelligence like them.
Three other seniors starter
AdamHauze and reserves Ricky
Gil and Corey Joseph know
their roles and play themas
expected.
Ideally, Joseph said, his team
would have four guys averaging
in double figures. He has three
Biasi, Buckner and Vito and
Plaksa is knocking on the door to
be the fourth. That combination
had led to the WVC Division I
first-half title and a 13-3 overall
record.
It makes us really tough be-
cause any night it could be one
or two or even three guys step-
ping up and making shots for us
and playing good defense,
Buckner said. Its definitely
something were happy we have,
a lot of guys who can put points
on the board.
BEST THUS FAR
Pittston Areas Steve Stravinski
scored 36 points Friday in a 52-51
loss to Tunkhannock. His points
total was the highest by a player
in WVC play this season.
Ironically, four of the top-six
Division I scoring performances
came against Pittston Area
Valley Wests James McCann
(29), Coughlins Marcus Cobb
(26), Hazleton Areas Sal Biasi
(24) and Tunkhannocks James
Hawk (24).
Stravinski also hung 28 on
Hazleton Area.
ALEXIS MOVING ON
Former Holy Redeemer stand-
out Peter Alexis will be transfer-
ring from Penn State upon the
completion of his freshman sea-
son. The 6-foot-11 center has seen
no action thus far with the Nitta-
ny Lions in his freshman season.
Alexis was recruited to Penn
State by head coach Eddie De-
Chellis, who moved to Navy
before the 2011-12 season. A
possible landing place for Alexis
is James Madison, which recruit-
ed himand where his sister
Meredith was a star.

Crosby skated on the Consol
ice for the first time in more than
six weeks on Monday, joining fel-
low injured teammates Simon
Despres and Jordan Staal for a
brief workout.

PITTSBURGH The Pitts-
burgh Penguins milled quietly
about their dressing room deep
inside Consol Energy Center on
Monday, slowly getting back to
work following a welcomed few
days off for the All-Star break.
As the players chatted about
their current seven-game win-
ning streak, the spectacular play
of center Evgeni Malkin and the
prospects of catching the New
York Rangers for the Eastern
Conference lead, a familiar image
flickered on a nearby TV. More
thanoneplayer stoppedtowatch.
There was Sidney Crosby,
streaking down the ice against
the New York Islanders on Nov.
21, scoring in spectacular fash-
ion.
As solid as the NHLs hottest
teamhas looked over the last two
weeks, the main question head-
backat work, evenina limitedca-
pacity.
At least it gave Crosby a respite
from the latest round of drama
surrounding his comeback. The
team acknowledged on Saturday
that neurological spine specialist
Dr. Robert S. Bray in Los Angeles
discovered an unspecified neck
injury that was fully healed.
An independent physician is
studying the findings before the
team makes any sort of determi-
nation on Crosbys next step.
Though the revelation about
the games most famous player
seemed to overshadow the All-
Star festivities, Crosbys team-
mates took it in stride.
Anything thats progressing
for himto get healthy andgetting
back to 100 percent and feeling
like Sidney Crosby does is a posi-
tive, Pittsburgh forward Chris
Kunitz said. If hes skating and
doing things, thats good for him
as a person and thats what
counts.
Bylsma declined to get into
specifics about Crosbys condi-
tion and prognosis pending a re-
port fromthe independent physi-
cian, saying only Crosby was no-
where close to being cleared for
contact.
Crosby hasnt played since the
concussion-like symptoms resur-
faced following a loss to Boston
on Dec. 5. He skated with his
teammates during a swing
through Florida earlier this
month but hadnt been on his
home ice in 54 days.
Hes spent the last couple
weeks visiting several specialists
hoping for answers, and though
Brays findings were a surprise,
Crosbys teammates dont believe
its a sign Crosby has no faith in
the teams medical staff.

PHILADELPHIA Andre
Iguodala had 14 points and 11
rebounds to lead the Philadel-
phia 76ers to their third
straight win, 74-69 over the
Orlando Magic on Monday
night.
The Sixers raced to their
best start in nearly a decade by
taking advantage of a soft
schedule for the first third of
the season. It gets tough from
here. Orlando was the first
opponent in a long run of
games against winning teams
that includes home games this
week against Chicago and
Miami.
Led by Iguodalas burst in
the third quarter, the Sixers
outlasted the stumbling Magic.
Dwight Howards 17 points and
11 rebounds werent enough in
Orlandos fourth straight loss.
Howard wants out of Orlan-
do and criticized his team-
mates Friday for not playing
hard enough in a loss to New
Orleans.
Heat 109, Hornets 95
MIAMI LeBron James
and Dwyane Wade each scored
22 points, Mike Miller added
14 off the bench and the Miami
Heat shook off a slow start to
run away from the New Or-
leans Hornets.
James added 11 rebounds
and eight assists for Miami,
which won for the eighth time
in nine games and ended up
with six players in double
figures. Chris Bosh and Norris
Cole each scored 12 for the
Heat.
Miami was down 45-33 mid-
way through the second quar-
ter, then outscored New Or-
leans 76-50 the rest of the way.
Spurs 83, Grizzlies 73
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Matt
Bonner scored 15 points, going
5 of 9 from outside the arc, and
Tim Duncan added 14 points as
the San Antonio Spurs sent
Memphis to its fourth straight
loss with a victory over the
Grizzlies.
Rookie Kawhi Leonard had
12 points and 10 rebounds for
the Spurs, who snapped a two-
game skid. Richard Jefferson
scored 13 points, while Danny
Green finished with 11 points.
O.J. Mayo led Memphis with
17 points, shooting 7 of 11.
Mike Conley had 15 points for
Memphis.
Bucks 103, Pistons 82
MILWAUKEE Brandon
Jennings had 21 points, reserve
Mike Dunleavy added a season-
high 20 on 8-of-10 shooting and
the Milwaukee Bucks rolled to
a victory over the skidding
Detroit Pistons.
Drew Gooden shot 7 of 9 and
scored 16 points for Milwau-
kee, including 10 straight early
in the third quarter during a
decisive 12-2 run to open the
second half. Detroit, which has
lost five straight and nine of 10,
never led in falling to 4-18.
Rodney Stuckey led the
Pistons with 19 points, and
Greg Monroe added 16 points
and 10 rebounds.

ton.
Kevin Love had 29 points for
the Timberwolves, who blew
open a close game with 42
points in the third for their
highest scoring quarter this
season. Minnesota shot a sea-
son-best 58 percent (43 of 74)
from the field and eclipsed its
previous high point total for
the season by 14.
Bulls 98, Wizards 88
WASHINGTON Derrick
Rose scored a season-high 35
points, Carlos Boozer had 18
and Kyle Korver added 17 to
lead the Chicago Bulls to a win
over the Washington Wizards.
One day after a four-point
loss in Miami, the Bulls re-
bounded to improve their
Eastern Conference-leading
record to 18-5. They had lost
two of their last three.
Meanwhile, the Wizards
have lost 16 of 20. Washington
won two of its previous three
games both against the
woeful Charlotte Bobcats, who
have the worst record in the
NBA.
Rose, who was 10 for 20 from
the field and 14 of 15 from the
free-throw line, had 34 points
in his previous two games. He
had 13 in the first quarter for
the Bulls, who never trailed.
John Wall led the Wizards with
20 points, while Nick Young

It extended throughout the
Pocono community, across
the Pennsylvania borders and
covered the entire country.
And the passing of Mattioli
resonated heavily through-
out the NASCAR community.
Doc Mattioli is why we
get to do what we do, said
Winston Lakkey, the director
of NASCARs Hall of Fame.
Hes somebody who laid an
incredible foundation here
that we could build on.
Mattioli left his successful
dentistry business in Phila-
delphia to build a grass-roots
auto racing industry at Poco-
no Raceway in the 1960s, and
turned it into what he esti-
mated was a business worth
$600 million before his
death.
But his generosity was just
as big as his booming race
track business.
Mattioli donated millions
to boost hospital care in the
region, build a solar farm
that generates energy for the
community surrounding Po-
cono Raceway and help re-
store the lightning-damaged
Wyoming Monument.
Doc had a personality that
he always wanted to go to
work happy and love what he
was doing, said Pocono
Raceway vice-president Bob
Pallo. I believe he extended
that into the philosophy of
his staff the job itself, being
around Doc, feeling like
youre part of something,
feeling like you belong.
Some say at least part of
the credit of NASCARs
growth into the major sports
scene belongs to Mattioli.
A pioneer, Lakkey called
Mattioli, saying the man
brought auto racing popular-
ity to an area that had not
known NASCAR racing.
From tracks at Charlotte to
Texas, the auto racing indus-
try knew Mattiolis name.
He was very determined
to leave his mark in his own
way. And hes done that,
said NASCAR president
Mike Helton. He knew so
many people in the sport.
And he remembered them
when it was time to remem-
ber them.
Due to his generosity, not
to mention the sterling repu-
tation Mattioli developed
throughout the sport, no-
body in NASCAR forgot him.
At our clubs, our activ-
ities, he was always there, al-
ways representing, Andretti
said. Everywhere you went,
you saw Doc Mattioli it was
expected: auto racing is
here.

remain a family-run business
forever.
When he had to be tough,
Mike Helton, the president of
NASCAR, said of Mattioli, he
had no problem being tough.
It is why Monday was such a
rough day for the sport, with
the burial of Doc Mattioli
feeling like another root ripped
away from an industry that
blossomed from the ground up
because of visionary men like
him.
There arent many left,
Helton said. Were gradually
seeing this transition go from
the pioneers to actually the
next generation.
Actually, Doc was the more
visible one we just lost.
They lost him Thursday,
when Mattioli passed away at
the age of 86 after battling a
lengthy illness.
But he will still win respect,
maybe forever, because of how
healthy he left the sport look-
ing, especially when it pulls
into Pocono Raceway.
The attendance for NASCAR
races there dropped signif-
icantly in a weak economy
over the last few years. It still
draws enough people and
enough interest to warrant two
stops on the Sprint Cup cir-
cuit, even if Poconos familiar
500-mile day drops to 400
miles starting this summer.
I do know in this area,
Pennsylvania and this partic-
ular part of the region, we
have a lot of support and a lot
of fans, Helton said. Docs
involvement in our sport con-
tributed to that.
Doc was a blessing.
Mattioli took a gamble by
leaving his successful dentistry
business in Philadelphia to
invest in a race track built on
old spinach fields back in the
1960s, and took another
chance when he bought out
the rest of Pocono Raceways
investors and started running
the place himself.
Some may have called Mat-
tioli a gambling fool when he
accepted an offer from NAS-
CAR founder Bill France to
take on a second race at Poco-
no at a time when interest in
auto racing was sputtering as
badly as a blown engine.
But Mattioli blew the idea
up big, with his promotion and
attention to detail and his idea
that three different turns and
three different lengths on the
straight-aways would make the
track so unique that Pocono
would become known as The
Tricky Triangle.
The guy had his way, said
Andretti, who was recruited by
Mattioli in the 1960s to help
Pocono Raceway as an advisor.
He was not very tolerant in
the way of mediocrity. He
expected so much out of every-
one.
Mainly, because Doc Mattio-
li gave so much of himself.

season without believing in
themselves.
It can be misunderstood for
cockiness, and whatever else,
Tuck said. But at the end of
the day, when we step on that
football field, we believe we are
going to win that football
game. If you ask any athlete
and he tells you anything dif-
ferent, then there is something
wrong.
Safety Antrel Rolle was his
usual self when asked about be-
ing confident.
I mean, we wouldnt have
boarded the plane if we didnt
expect to win, said Rolle, who
lost a Super Bowl in February,
2009 while playing for Arizona
against the Steelers. I think
that is the bottom line. We
have come here for one thing
and one thing only which is to
win. We are expecting to win
this game come Sunday.
The Patriots (15-3) certainly
understand how the Giants
feel. They feel the same way.
Listen, this is the last game
of the season. Im pretty sure
that the Giants want to win and
we want to win, point blank,
defensive tackle Vince WIlfork
said. You have two good foot-
ball teams who dont want to
walk away with an L. Both
sides are going to have to play
really good football and not
give up anything cheap. Trust
me, were not the only ones
that feel that we want to win
this ballgame. Theyre sitting
over there saying the same
thing. This is the last game,
and the biggest game of your
career. This is what you play
for.
The Giants (12-7) had a
much different send off than
the Patriots, who arrived Sun-
day after attending a rally in
Foxborough, Mass., that drew
25,000 people.
Coach Tom Coughlins Gi-
ants left from team headquar-
ters in the Meadowlands
around11:30 a.m. There was no
rally and only a few extra fans
showed up to wave goodbye.
Before leaving, the team
held what is a normal Saturday
walkthrough and left at the
same time they would normal-
ly leave for a road game.
The short flight was un-
eventful. It was quiet and the
players either watched a movie
or slept, Snee said.
You get off and you know
you are at the Super Bowl,
Snee said. The media is there
and there is a small red carpet.
Its exciting.
Manning said the rest of the
week is a time to focus.
When you feel you have a
good team or players and an
opportunity to go win a cham-
pionship, you dont want to let
those slip away, said Man-
ning, the Super Bowl MVP of
the Giants win over the Patri-
ots four years ago.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. On
Monday morning AHL president
DaveAndrews touchedonanum-
ber of topics during his State of
the League address. Andrews
said the AHL is enjoying one of
its best years in terms of attend-
ance and revenue. He also said
the locations for the next two all-
star games have beenchosen, but
he didnt disclose the cities. An-
drews also spoke about the two-
ref system, the use of replay to re-
view disputed goals and concus-
sions.
Andrews said the replay sys-
tem has been installed in Bridge-
port but has yet to be tested for a
disputed goal through four
games this season. The system
will remain in use in Bridgeport
for the remainder of the season,
and the AHL Board of Governors
will vote in May whether to im-
plement the use of replay around
the league. Andrews did say the
system is expensive to install in
arenas and he doubted it would
be used that often.
Andrews doesnt expect any
major changes next season as far
as team locations and NHL affil-
iations. I really believe we will
be in all the same cities with all
the same affiliations, he said.
The two-referee system will
be used in 35 percent of all regu-
lar season and playoff games this
season, Andrews said, adding
that percentage will increase
next year and in five years he ex-
pects the system to be used in all
games.
Andrews said the AHL has
doubled the amount of suspen-
sions it issued last year, although
not all have been for headshots.
He did say that headshots and
concussions are a major issue in
the league, but the vast majority
of concussions this season
havent resulted from fights or il-
legal hits. The game is fast, the
guys are big and theres so much
contact, Andrews said. A huge
percentage of concussions in our
league have occurred from legal
plays.

President discusses
leagues hot topics

tvenesky@timesleader.com
Palmieri gave the East a 2-0leada
minute later before the West
scored twice to even things up.
In the final 10 minutes of the
opening frame, the East scored
four consecutive goals to gain a
6-2leadat the endof the first peri-
od.
McDonald earned a point
when he assisted on a breakaway
goal by Cory Conacher, who had
two goals on the night.
It was a lot of fun to play with
the best players in the league,
Conacher said.
The offense came to a grinding
halt for most of the second peri-
od. After Chris Terry scored his
second goal for the West at 2:41,
both teams went scoreless for
nearly 15 minutes.
The Wests Tyson Barrie got
things rolling again when he
scored at 17:28, followed by a
goal from Ryan Hamilton to cut
the Easts lead to 6-5.
Yan Danis stopped all 11 shots
he faced in the period to keep the
East off the board.
You dont know what youre
going to get in these games,
McDonaldsaid. Danis inthesec-
ond, to not let up a goal, I was
pretty impressed with that. You
expect each goaltender to let in a
couple.
The East got back on the board
midway through the third period
when Conacher scored his sec-
ond of the game with a shot in
close at 9:56. The play began
when McDonald forced a turn-
over at the blueline, and Conach-
ers subsequent goal gave the
East a 7-5 advantage.
The West battled back in the
second half of the period with a
pair of goals to even things up
and force the shootout.
I knew the goalies would be
outstanding and they saved back
door pass after back door pass,
Conacher said. But it did sur-
prise me that we only scored sev-
en. Theyre the best inthe league,
and it obviously takes a lot more
than a couple nice plays to beat
them.
NOTES
- McDonald now has a two-
game point streak in all-star con-
tests. In last years game he had
an assist. The East beat the West
11-8 in that game.
- The Hershey Bears Boyd
Kane, Keith Aucoin and Chris
Bourque skated on a line togeth-
er for the East and were held
without a point.
- The AHL inducted Joe Cro-
zier, Jack Gordon, John Stevens
and Zellio Toppazzini into the
American Hockey League Hall of
Fame on Monday. Crozier won
three Calder Cups as coach of the
Rochester Americans. He is the
father of former Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguin Greg Crozier.

HOUSTON New Houston
Astros owner Jim Crane says he
wont change the teams name.
Crane said last week he was
considering a switch. But he
emailed a video message to sea-
son-ticket holders on Monday
saying, one thing that we are
not going to change is the
name.
He says he made the decision
after receiving strong feedback
and consensus among season-
ticket holders and many fans.
He then added that the Hous-
ton Astros are here to stay.
The team was established in
1962 as the Colt .45s and has
been called the Astros since
1965 when the name was
changed to coincide with the
move to the Astrodome.
Crane and his staff have been
looking for ways to improve the
team, which finished a fran-
chise-worst 56-106 last season,
and the fan experience since the
sale from Drayton McLane was
completed in late November.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Manny
Pacquiao wont fight Floyd May-
weather Jr. until November at
the earliest, Pacquiaos promo-
ter Bob Arum said Monday.
Arum said Mayweather is try-
ing to stage his next fight May 5
at MGM Grand Garden Arena
in Las Vegas without promising
Pacquiao a 50-50 split of fight
revenue. As a result, Mayweath-
er isnt in the picture as Arum
plans Pacquiaos next fight for
June 9.
They dont want to fight in
late May, Arum said of the
Mayweather camp. Its dead
for May, so we should . . . let
Mayweather fight someone else
May 5 and well fight someone
else June 9, and then lets get a
signed contract for (Mayweath-
er-Pacquiao) in November.
Thats a win-win for everybody.
However, there remains deep
skepticism the super-fight will
ever happen, given the long-
standing animosity among
Arum, Mayweather and the
fighters advisor, Al Haymon.
Richard Schaefer, the Golden
Boy Promotions chief executive
who has helped promote all of
Mayweathers fights since 2007,
was asked about Arums com-
ments that the chance has
slipped away for a Mayweather-
Pacquiao fight this spring. Ev-
erybody moves on. Thats what
were doing. Moving on,
Schaefer said.
Arum on Monday also nar-
rowed the pool of potential
June 9 opponents for Pacquiao
to two: world super-welter-
weight champion Miguel Cotto
and World Boxing Council ju-
nior-welterweight champion
Timothy Bradley of Cathedral
City, Calif.
Bradley (28-0, 12 knockouts)
has said previously he was
hopeful the dominoes would fall
into place to allow him a shot at
the sports top pound-for-pound
fighter.
Arum says he has also struck
a verbal deal to stage a junior-
welterweight title fight between
Juan Manuel Marquez and
champion Lamont Peterson lat-
er this year at Cowboys Stadi-
um outside Dallas. That fight
date will either be in May or
July, Arum said.
So if you eliminate those
two, and Mayweather isnt in
the picture, you can do that
math about Pacquiaos next op-
ponent, Arum said.
Arum wants to announce Pac-
quiaos next opponent by Feb. 7
and have the fighters start a na-
tional publicity tour around the
week of Feb. 20.
Cotto, who defeated Antonio
Margarito by technical knock-
out in December, has expressed
reluctance to fight under 150
pounds. Pacquiao wont fight
above 147 pounds.
In a 147-pound fight in No-
vember 2009, Pacquiao defeat-
ed Cotto by 12th-round TKO.
Im not saying (Cottos) right
or wrong, Arum said of the
weight issue. Its his body. He
has to make the determination.
Plus, Cotto can afford for
now to drive a hard bargain
on that position because he may
emerge as Mayweathers next
opponent.
First, though, Mayweather
must pass the scrutiny Wednes-
day of the Nevada State Athletic
Commission, which has sum-
moned him to explain why he
should be licensed to fight
against someone other than
Pacquiao. Mayweather pleaded
no-contest to domestic-violence
charges involving the mother of
his children, but a judge de-
layed Mayweathers three-
month jail sentence until June 1
so he could have a major fight
in May.

THE WIRES have
been buzzing for days
with solar flare activ-
ity. Literally. This
week, the earth was
hit by the largest
solar storm since
2005 and you prob-
ably didnt notice a thing. Generally
speaking, as long as the sun keeps
shining, nobody really gives it much
thought.
But, according to two agencies that
study these things, sunshine isnt all
thats beamed at us. The sun keeps us
alive, but its basically a giant nuclear
reaction floating in space. Every 12
years or so, the sun gets cranky and
blasts out streams of charged particles.
This happens all the time, but during
these periods of increased activity,
cations outages not an apocalyptic
outcome, but certainly an inconvenient
and costly one.
Its certainly possible that satellites
could malfunction, be damaged or
knocked out altogether and this has
happened several times in the past.
Weve been lucky so far because things
were actually relatively calm during
the previous solar maximum. But as
we continue to increase our reliance
upon high technology, were also in-
creasing our vulnerability to relatively
commonplace solar events.
What can we do about it? Not much.
You might as well ask the sun to stop
shining.
entering one of these solar maxi-
mums at a time when everyday people
are highly dependent on wireless tech-
nology and information beamed from
satellites. According to researchers, the
potential exists for extensive power
outages and communications disrup-
tions.
The charged particles found in solar
wind can scramble satellites, interfere
with radio signals (including Wi-Fi and
cellphone transmissions) and induce
enough current in electrical lines to
cause power disruptions. The particles
also can cause the outer atmosphere to
expand slightly -- a harmless phenom-
enon for those of us on the ground, but
one that can actually cause increased
drag on low-orbiting satellites.
A worst-case scenario could see
widespread blackouts and communi-
known as a solar maximum, these
events occur with increased frequency
and severity, and the earth usually
finds itself in the path of those parti-
cles.
Were well-protected by the earths
natural magnetic field, which deflects
most of the particles harmlessly, with
no side effects other than a few aurora
(which are visible evidence of solar
wind).
But some of that energy makes it
through, and during a solar maximum
it could be enough to cause problems
not just for NASA, but for everyone.
For the first time in history, were

Space, weather and you: Why solar winds are a concern for us
WASHINGTON Americans in-
come rose inDecember bythe most in
nine months, a hopeful sign for the
economy after a year of weak wage
gains. But consumers didnt spend
any more than they had in November.
Americans endedupsavingall their
additional income.
Economists noted that income rose
last month largely because of strong
hiring. The economy added 200,000
jobs in December. More jobs mean
more income available to spend.
Income rose 0.5 percent from No-
vember to December, the Commerce
Department said Monday. It was the
sharpest increase since a similar gain
in March.
The flat spending in December fol-
lowed scant gains of 0.1 percent in
both October and November.
For all of 2011, income barely rose.
And consumers tapped their savings
to spend more.
But in December, Americans boost-
ed their savings. The pace of job
growth in recent months, while still
not satisfactory compared to most
past cycles, at least seems sufficient to
generate enough income growth to
keep consumer spending moving
ahead at a modest pace, said Joshua
Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR,
Inc.
After-tax income adjusted for infla-
tionrose 0.3percent inDecember. For
the year, inflation-adjusted income
rose0.9percent. That was just half the
rise in 2010.
Still, the economy remains weak.
The government said Friday that the
economy grewat an annual rate of 1.7
percent last year roughly half the
growth of 2010.

The auto parts company began in1921

This month will
end up having
an average tem-
perature close to
ve degrees
above normal,
just like the pre-
vious month. So,
if on Thursday,
the groundhog
predicts six
more weeks of
winter, I won't be
too disappoint-
ed, that is,
assuming the
second half of
winter won't be
much different
than the rst
half. At least our
February aver-
age temperature
this year is
expected to be
above average
and that is a
guarantee for
today and
Wednesday with
afternoon tem-
peratures nearly
15 degrees above
normal. Rain and
snow will come
close on
Thursday to our
south. Friday and
Saturday both
look dry.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will bring rain and higher elevation snow to the Pacic
Northwest today, with a few light rain and snow showers possible in the northern Rockies, as well.
Another storm system will bring rain and snow to the Great Lakes and portions of the Northeast,
while showers will extend from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the western Gulf Coast.

IN BRIEF
Q: My husband has
been taking Viagra for
years. As you know, it
is very expensive and
theres no generic
here in the U.S. I
heard on the radio
that theres a much
cheaper Viagra available. It is one-
fourth the price of brand name Viagra.
What I received is Fiagra. It is from
India. When I called the distributor,
they said its exactly the same. Have
you heard of it? Is it safe?
D.N., Cumming, Ga.
A: Viagra is not yet available in a
generic form in the U.S., but is sold in
many other countries including
India and Canada. The problem with
ordering drugs over the Internet, from
a radio ad or from a magazine ad is that
you dont necessarily know what youre
getting. You may receive a perfectly
acceptable generic drug thats manu-
factured to good quality standards, but
you may also receive a counterfeit drug
that is not only lacking in the active
ingredient, but may contain substances
like boric acid or talc that are hazard-
ous to your health. Additionally, you
need to be cautious any time you di-
vulge your personal information and
your credit card information to a third
party distributor.
As far as Fiagra is concerned, it is
produced by Ultratech India, a seem-
ingly reputable pharmaceutical compa-
ny with a wide array of pharmaceu-
ticals that they supply to a worldwide
market. Check out their website:
www.ultratechindia.com. They state on
their website that they meet several
international pharmaceutical stan-
dards. They do not appear to be a
counterfeit drug manufacturer.
Q: I know that there are drugs like
Valtrex that can cut down on the num-
ber of outbreaks of genital herpes once
you have it, but why isnt there a vac-
cine that can prevent someone from
getting herpes altogether?
Anonymous, Inkerman, Pa.
A: Quite simply, the efforts to pro-
duce a vaccine thatll protect against
herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 have
failed. The results of a large study
published in the Jan. 5 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine
showed that while the vaccine was
roughly 60 percent effective in protect-
ing against HSV1 infection (the virus
responsible for cold sores), it was es-
sentially useless in preventing HSV2
infection (leading cause of genital
herpes). The study involved 8,323
uninfected women, unlike prior small
studies which suggested that the vac-
cine protected more than 70 percent of
women against HSV2, but was ineffec-
tive in men.
It is very difficult to develop vaccines
against herpes viruses, many of which
have complex life cycles and can lie
dormant in the body for long periods of
time. Thus far, the only vaccine that
can successfully protect infection by a
member of the herpes family is the
chicken pox vaccine.

Many companies now package
snacks in 100-calorie portions,
but they often dont contain the
nutrients your body needs. I
love the concept of those, but
the majority of them arent the
best options, says Chrissy
Wellington, a nutritionist at
Canyon Ranch health resort in
Lenox, Mass. Some advice:
Read package labels. Plenty of
unhealthy ingredients can go
into a 100-calorie snack. Ideally,
a serving should contain less
than .5 grams of saturated fat
and less than 10 to 12 grams of
sugar the lower the better
along with some fiber and pro-
tein. Pretzels, air-popped pop-
corn and nuts tend to be among
the healthier packages.
Avoid the least healthy packages.
Chocolate chip cookies, candy,
biscuits and crackers such as
Ritz and Cheez-It land on Wel-
lingtons worst list because
theyre high in sugar and/or
artery-clogging fats.
Think outside the bag. Stay close
to 100 calories with 4 to 6 ounc-
es of low-fat yogurt, a hardboiled
egg and a small piece of fruit, an
ounce of cheese look for one
with less than two grams of fat
per serving or a third of a cup
of edamame beans.
Get milk. Drink a cup of low-fat
chocolate milk, which is rich in
protein, or warm a cup of skim
milk with sprinkles of cinnamon
and vanilla extract.
Load up on fruits. A small banana
or medium-sized pear or apple
should run about 100 calories, as
would a cup of berries, half a
large grapefruit or two plums or
apricots. Or pair half a fruit
serving with two teaspoons of
peanut butter or a few dry-
roasted nuts.
Cut up vegetables. Raw leafy
veggies such as broccoli
and cauliflower only con-
tain about 30 calories per
two cups; other easy snacks
such as carrots, celery and
cherry tomatoes have roughly
30 calories per half cup. Hum-
mus, at roughly 80 calories for a
quarter-cup, can be a smart dip.

Molasses the dark, thick syrup that is the byproduct of refining cane
sugar into table sugar is a sweetener with nutrients.
Blackstrap molasses, one of several
types, provides more iron for less
calories than red meat and is fat-free
Molasses is an excellent source
of copper, needed for many of the
bodys functions, including bone
development, and of manganese,
which helps produce energy from
protein and carbohydrates
It is also a very good source
of calcium (needed for strong bones
and teeth), potassium (important for
muscle contraction), and magnesium
(a lack of which can contribute to high
blood pressure and muscle spasms)

Among the risk factors for prostate cancer are age and African-
American descent. Two out of three prostate cancers are diagnosed in
men older than age 65. The rate of diagnosis among African-American
men is 60 percent higher than among white men.
Last year, nearly 220,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer,
and more than 32,000 died from it.
Two complementary tests are used to detect prostate cancer: a blood
test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and a digital rectal exam. The
American Cancer Society recommends that men discuss with their
doctors what is known and unknown about the risks and possible bene-
fits of screening at age 50, or younger if their risk is higher.

FAST FACTS
Dont laugh but there is a so-
cially proper way to have the
flu.
And Anna Post, great-great-
granddaughter of the doyen of
proper etiquette, Emily Post,
has put together the flu eti-
quette ground rules.
As reported last week, the
National Foundation for Infec-
tious Diseases says flu cases
usually peak in January and
February. With only half of
Americans vaccinated against
the flu, there is a good chance
many will get this disease.
The flu is passed off as a
common cold, but up to
40,000 Americans die annual-
ly because of this virus, says
Dr. Susan Rehm, medical di-
rector of the foundation. In ad-
dition, hundreds of thousands
are hospitalized with pneumo-
nia or other problems stem-
ming from the untreated flu
bug, she says.
Dont be That Guy who
spreads the flu to family,
friends or colleagues, says
Anna Post. By following ap-
propriate flu etiquette, we can
all play a role in preventing
the spread of flu virus.
Too many people go about
their daily business instead of
taking care of themselves
which also takes care of oth-
ers, Post says.
This is very inconsiderate
but we see it a lot especially
in this economy. People are
not putting their own health
first, and they dont care about
anyone else.
Here is Posts basic mess-
age:
In the workplace: If you
have flu symptoms at work, let
your boss know right away
that you need to get to the
doctor. Just let him or her
know, I dont feel well I
think I might have the flu.
Better to have others pitch in
at the office than risk others
on our team becoming sick.
In social situations: Nor-
mally it would be rude to can-
cel on a dinner party or a big
event at the last minute, but if
youre sick, call with your re-
grets and instead, go see a
doctor.
Air travel: Its tough to
point out someones behavior
mid-flight with hours left to
go. However, flu is highly con-
tagious. If theres no other
seat available, consider say-
ing, I can see youre not feel-
ing well would you mind
covering your mouth when
you cough? Thanks. Most
people when prompted are ea-
ger to show good manners and
do the right thing.
Posts complete flu eti-
quette tips are available at flu-
facts.com, where you can test
your flu knowledge and take
quizzes. The site is kid friend-
ly to reach a larger audience,
Post says.
No one likes to be the Eti-
quette Police, Post says.
But someone has to fill that
role.
When she travels on air-
planes, Post personally takes
extra tissues and alcohol-
based hand sanitizer. If she
sits next to that guy, she
asks the person to use the
items.
Yes, your tone of voice is
important when you are ask-
ing people to use tissues in-
stead of a skirt hem.
Why have flu etiquette tips?
Post claims I get asked
about the flu all the time for
both business and social situa-
tions. Her flu etiquette cam-
paign is sponsored by Genen-
tech, a member of the Roche
Group.
Post, who says six family
members currently are associ-
ated with the Emily Post In-
stitute, is part of the Are You
That Guy? influenza educa-
tion campaign.
In addition to establishing
flu etiquette standards, the
campaign urges Americans
with flu symptoms to see a
doctor. Symptoms include fe-
ver, achy muscles, severe
chills and unusually severe fa-
tigue.

After the announcement, the
three went through the line with
students and ate turkey tacos with
brownrice, blackbeanandcornsal-
ad and fruit all Rays recipes
with the children in the Parklawn
Elementarylunchroom.
Underthenewrules, pizzawont
disappearfromlunchlines, butwill
be made with healthier ingre-
dients. Entire meals will have calo-
rie caps for the first time and most
trans fats will be banned. Sodium
will gradually decrease over a 10
year period. Milk will have to be
low in fat and flavored milks will
havetobenonfat.
Despite the improvements, the
newrules arent as aggressive as the
Obama administration had hoped.
Congress last year blockedthe Agri-
culture Department from making
someof thedesiredchanges, includ-
inglimitingfrenchfriesandpizzas.
A bill passed in November would
require the department to allow to-
matopasteonpizzastobecountedas
a vegetable, as it is now. The initial
draft of the departments guidelines,
released a year ago, would have pre-
vented that. Congress also blocked
the department from limiting serv-
ings of potatoes to two servings a
week.Thefinalruleshaveincorporat-
edthosedirectionsfromCongress.
Among those who had sought
the changes were potato growers
and food companies that produce
frozen pizzas for schools. Conser-
vatives in Congress called the gui-
delines an overreach and said the
government shouldnt tell children
what to eat. School districts also
objected to some of the require-
ments, saying they go too far and
wouldcost toomuch.
The guidelines apply to lunches
subsidized by the federal govern-
ment. A child nutrition bill signed
byPresidentBarackObamain2010
will help school districts pay for
some of the increased costs. Some
of the changes will take place as
soonas this September; others will
bephasedinover time.
While many schools are improv-
ingmeals already, others still serve
children meals high in fat, salt and
calories. The guidelines are de-
signed to combat childhood obesi-
ty and are based on 2009 recom-
mendations by the Institute of
Medicine, thehealtharmof theNa-
tional Academyof Sciences.
Vilsack said food companies are
reformulating many of the foods
they sell to schools in anticipation
of thechanges.
The food industry is already re-
sponding,hesaid. Thisisamove-
ment that has started, its gaining
momentum.
Diane Pratt-Heavner of the
School Nutrition Association,
which represents school lunch
workers, said that many schools
wont count pizza as a vegetable
even though they can. Students
qualifying for subsidized meals
must haveacertainnumber of veg-
etables and other nutritious foods
ontheir lunchtrays.
Most schools are serving fruit
or vegetables next to their pizza
and some schools are even allow-
ing unlimited servings of fruit or
vegetables, Pratt-Heavner said.
Celebrity chef Ray said she
thinks too much has been made of
the availability of pizza and french
fries. Thenewruleswill makekids
lunch plates much more nutrient
dense, shesaid.
The overall picture is really
good,shesaid. Thisisabigdeal.
The subsidized meals that would
fall under the guidelines are served
as free andlow-cost meals tolow-in-
come children and long have been
subject to government nutrition
standards. The2010lawwill extend,
forthefirst time, nutritionstandards
to other foods sold in schools that
arent subsidized by the federal gov-
ernment. That includes a la carte
foodsonthelunchlineandsnacksin
vendingmachines.
Those standards, while expect-
edtobesimilar, will bewrittensep-
arately and have not yet been pro-
posedbythedepartment.

An early symptomof autism
might be found in a babys
gaze, researchers reported
Thursday.
Diagnosing autism as early
as possible is of critical impor-
tance. Studies showthe earlier
therapybegins, the more likely
the child can overcome the
deficits linked to the brain dis-
order.
The new study, published
online in the journal Current
Biology, examined babies 6
months to 10 months of age
who were at higher risk of de-
veloping autism because they
had an older sibling with autism.
Researchers from Birkbeck Col-
lege, University of London,
placed sensors on the scalp to
register brain activity while the
babies viewed faces. During the
exam, the faces sometimes
looked at the babies and other
times looked away. This was key
because earlier studies showthat
eyecontact inbabies is important
to their social interaction and
that children with autismtend to
avoid eye contact.
The study found that babies
who went on to develop autism
had different brain activity dur-
ing the eye-contact test com-
paredwithbabies whodidnot de-
velop autism. In other words, the
babies destined to develop au-
tism were already processing so-
cial information differently.
At this age, no behavioral
markers of autism are yet evi-
dent, and so measurements of
brainfunctionmaybe a more sen-
sitive indicator of risk, a co-au-
thor of the study, Mark Johnson,
said in a news release.
More studies will be needed to
see if such a test could be widely
used to assist in earlier diagnosis
of children with autism.
Autisms signs may be found in a babys gaze

Fitness experts arealways tell-
ing us that incorporating move-
ment into our day is a good way
to burn calories. But is it effec-
tive? A study finds that walking
in place during commercials
while watching TV actually pro-
vides a pretty good workout.
Researchers from the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, Knoxville
studied a group of 23 men and
women ages 18 to 65 under a
number of conditions tosee how
many calories they burned. The
study participants also repre-
sented a wide range of weights,
from normal to obese.
Their calorie expenditure was
monitored while the participa-
nts were both sedentary and ac-
tive, such as reclining, sitting
and watching television for an
hour, standing, steppinginplace
during commercials while
watching television for an hour
and walking on a treadmill at 3
mph. Steps were countedduring
the walking-in-place scenario.
Stepping in place during com-
mercials burned an average 148
calories and resulted in an aver-
age 2,111 steps in about 25 min-
utes. Walking on a treadmill for
an hour burned an average 304
calories. Being sedentary didnt
provide much activity at all
sitting and watching TV for an
hour burneda whopping81calo-
ries, hardly enough to make a
dent in that bowl of ice cream.
The study authors said that
commercials could serve as a
good cue for people, reminding
themtoget upandbeactivefor a
few minutes. Having environ-
mental cues for regular activity
is helpful in developing new,
healthful habits, a study found,
and is part of making small
changes for better health.
Given the large number of
hours American adults watch
TV, they wrote, we suggest
that TV commercial stepping is
one potential approach for re-
ducing sedentary behavior and
increasing physical activity.
The study appears in the Feb-
ruary issue of the journal Med-
icine & Science in Sports & Ex-
ercise.

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!

Dear Abby: Re-
cently my 80-year-old
mother was admit-
ted to the hospital,
gravely ill. She had
been undergoing
chemotherapy and
caught double pneu-
monia. My 36-year-old niece went to
visit Mama, took pictures of her lying
in her hospital bed and emailed the
photos to everyone.
It was shocking and upsetting see-
ing my mother this way. Many of the
people who received the photos had
not been able to visit her. How should
it have been handled?
Sincerely Upset in Florida
Dear Sincerely Upset: I dont blame
you for being upset. What your niece
did was a gross invasion of privacy.
Is this how your mother would have
wanted people to see her? If the
answer is no, your niece owes your
mother an apology.
If your mother is still hospitalized,
talk to the nurse in charge of the unit
shes in and give her a list of visitors
who should have access to her. Ex-
plain why you want visitation restrict-
ed, and in the future your mothers
privacy will be assured.
Dear Abby: My sisters husband died
suddenly three years ago. Pamela
now says shes in love with a 60-year-
old man Ill call Mickey, whose
company is doing construction work
on her home. She has put on a new
roof, siding and added a deck, and the
jobs are not ending.
Friends and family are concerned
that Pamela is scheduling more jobs
as a way to see Mickey. When I point-
ed out that he hasnt even invited her
out for coffee, she claimed they have
a relationship because he hugged
her, kissed her on the cheek and told
her, Youre my girlfriend.
Pamela has invited Mickey to fam-
ily dinners and events, but he turns
her down because hes visiting
relatives out of town. He has never
invited her to go anywhere.
My sister should be ready to date
now, but no one lives up to this man.
None of us has met him, and were
worried she is just imagining theres a
relationship. What can we do?
Somethings Missing in New Jersey
Dear Somethings Missing: Do you
know the name of Mickeys company?
Start checking him out. Does he have
a contractors license? A Facebook
page? Does anybody in the lumber
or paint business know him? Mickey
may be married and your sister may
be grasping at straws. But when all is
said and done, it is her money.
Dear Abby: I am a 12-year-old girl
who needs your advice. My friend and
I went shopping a while back and she
lent me money to buy a few things.
However, later that day she lost the
bag that had my stuff in it at the mall.
One day she brought up that I have
not paid her back, but I said I dont
think I should have to pay her back
since she lost the stuff she bought for
me. Who do you think is right?
Needs Advice in Oakland, Calif.
Dear Needs Advice: You are.
Shes out the money; youre out the
goods. Youre even. However, from
now on when you buy something,
take responsibility for it and keep it
in your possession. That way, if some-
thing is lost, you will have no one to
blame but yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order
to know whats best for you, you
have to know yourself. Youll
learn the most about yourself
through your conversations with
deeper thinkers.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Intimate encounters and joint
enterprises unfold. As you
cherry pick your activities, youll
appreciate that much is available
to you now that wasnt before.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go into
long-term arrangements with
great caution, especially when
finances are on the line. You
would be wise to look to the per-
son behind the venture rather
than at the venture itself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Negotiations and compromises
are the outward manifestations
of inner security. You know how
safe another person really feels
by the way he or she sorts out
the details of a deal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may
feel a strong pull toward posi-
tions of leadership and power.
You like to be in control and may
even feel that you need to be in
charge or everything will not get
done the detailed way you prefer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will
put aside your need to have
everything unfold as its sup-
posed to, and youll embrace
the spirit of drama that colors
this day. It will feel right to let
your emotions lead you into a
highly creative state of mind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get the
contact info of anyone you find
interesting. Youre likely to come
into contact with a wide array of
characters, most of whom you
may not meet again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have
no fear of failure. If you cant
make something work now it
just means that you were meant
for a different kind of challenge.
Besides, you do a stellar impres-
sion of a glorious phoenix rising.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You feel rich within. Your self-
confidence is deep, and you
know you have much to give.
Youre almost ready to merge
your assets and share your con-
fidences with another person.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Even when you feel you have
enough to survive and be happy,
you will keep working. You hate
to feel idle, and it brings you
personal satisfaction to excel
beyond what is necessary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
contrast between your laid-back
style and the preferences of a
tidy and overly detailed person
may be a source of friction. If
you can find a compromise, what
you accomplish together will be
absolutely brilliant.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will
feel like youve been left in the
dark on a certain topic and the
unknown is daunting. But youre
too courageous to let that stop
you. Shine your mental flashlight
and youll find your way.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). It
will be as though you have the
golden touch. Its not important
to you to win all of the time. You
bring harmony to your family
and other groups. There will be a
happy change in April. Your work
will be prominently featured in
June. Cancer and Virgo adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 40,
25, 1, 12 and 15.
