officials reaction to the need for further cuts
Luzerne County Interim
Manager Tom Pribula suggest-
ed a 3.93 percent property tax
increase in the amended 2012
county budget, but county
council members did not em-
brace the suggestion.
The increase would raise
taxes from 5.215 mills to 5.4
mills and amount to $20.50
more on a $100,000 property,
increase, and nobody raised a
hand in support.
Some council members said
they may be willing to support
a reduced tax increase, but on-

nificantly participated in sacri-
fices.

Ceppa Hirko asked City Council
on Thursday to request an out-
side agency to investigate the
purchase of three fire engines in
2005-06 and account for the
money.
Hirko also asked Mayor Tom
Leighton to resign immediately
over the handling of the pur-
chase that was made possible
through an anonymous dona-
tion.
With two former police chiefs
present (council members Bill
Barrett and Tony George), I
would like to remind all present
that if you suspect wrongdoing,
it is a crime to not report crimi-
nal or suspected criminal activ-
ity, Hirko said. Did council
take any action in 2005 or 2006
regarding these fire trucks?
Of the five council members
Barrett, George, Chairman Mike
Merritt, Maureen Lavelle and
George Brown none responded
to Hirkos comments. No council
member would comment publi-
cly about the fire engines, the
donation or the secrecy of the

SHICKSHINNY In a small
step in the crawl back to life as
usual, another business has reo-

The Subway franchise on Main
Street, openedby owner Hina Pa-

flood soaked it in nearly10 feet of
water, resumed selling $5 foot-
longs and other sandwiches
Thursday.
But residents will continue to
face challenges. One of those
challenges may be getting used
to driving across the river to do
their banking and more than 10
miles to buy groceries.
Wells Fargo, operator of the

Shickshinny branch but keep an
ATM machine at the site, and
Mayor Beverly Moore and Coun-

said Thursday that 5 Mountain

Moore said she understands
owner John Morgans decision,
but the market will be missed by

DALLAS TWP. Offset Paper-
back Manufacturers, one of the
Back Mountains largest employ-
ers, has announced it will be lay-
ing off 69 employees Jan. 27.
The staff reduction was neces-
sitated by a poor 2011 due to an
increase in use of eReaders and
other online and digital offerings
to read books.
Andy Meltzer, who works with
Matter Communications, a Prov-
idence, R.I., firm hired by Offset
to handle public relations, issued
a lengthy statement detailing the
decision, which was announced
to employees at the plant along
Route 309 on Thursday.
The company, a subsidiary of
Bertelsmann AG, headquartered
in Germany, prints and binds
mass-market books. According
to the companys website, one of
the largest manufacturers of
mass-market paperback books in
the world, Offset Paperback
Manufacturers produces approx-
imately 350 million mass-market
and digest book products a year.
But over the past few years,
fewer books are being sold as dig-
ital versions increase in popular-
ity.
While the company has avoid-
ed significant losses to its em-
ployee count over the past sever-
al years, the rapidly evolving pub-
lishing market and the continued
popularity of eReaders and other
devices impacted the companys
output in 2011, Meltzer said.
As a result, OPM is forced to
cut its operating costs in order to
remain competitive and viable
while sustaining its current
workforce of approximately 515
full time employers. In 2005, ac-
cording to Times Leader ar-
chives, the company employed
800.
Earlier this month the compa-
ny placed help wanted advertise-
ments seeking part-time workers
for up to 22.5 hours per week, of-
fering pay rates of $10 to $10.46
per hour.
Recognizing that the printing
industry is being redefined on a
daily basis, OPM continues to
diligently measure the market
demands for paperback titles
while also taking steps to pursue
alternative products such as col-
oring books, desk calendars and
other opportunities, Meltzer
said.
In addition, OPM has made
investments in new technologies
and product lines that will enable
it to produce paperback offerings
fewother facilities canreplicate,
Meltzer concluded.

COURT BRIEFS
DURYEA State Sen. John
Blake, state Rep. Mike Carroll
and officials from the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection and Department of Gen-
eral Services met at the Duryea
municipal building to discuss
flood protection on Thursday
night.
The focus of the meeting was
the completion of an 1,100-foot
stretch of levee along the Lacka-
wanna River from the Stephen-
son Street Bridge to the Holy
Rosary Cemetery.
In 2002, $1.5 million was allo-
cated to fill in this gap of the lev-
ee system. State officials de-
scribed the planning phase of
the project as 80 percent com-
plete. Blake and Carroll felt it
would be beneficial to elaborate
on the progress in a public fo-
rum.
While the project is being wel-
comed by community members,
it did little to assuage their fears
of future flooding. Nor did it an-
swer a lot of the questions resi-
dents had regarding monetary
reimbursement and the ultimate
causes of the full severity of the
September flooding.
This particular levee was con-
structed during the 1950s. Dur-
ing that time, several homeown-
ers refused to sign on to have the
levee constructed on their prop-
erty. The gap has remained ever
since.
At the behest of Mayor Keith
Moss, a makeshift dike was con-
structed in 2006 but it was not
sufficient to stop the floodwaters
that resulted from Tropical
Storm Lee in September.
The project discussed on
Thursday would use a combina-
tion of concrete and vinyl to fully
fill the gap in the levee.
Last September, the makeshift
levee was breached, which
caused flooding in the cemetery
and in the vicinity of River, Lack-
awanna and Church streets.
While it is hoped the new
stretch of levee will alleviate
flooding concerns in that area, it
will do nothing to help the areas
of Duryea that were hardest hit
during the September flooding.
The lower end of town, includ-
ing the areas of Main and Crit-
tenden streets, were severely
flooded when water from the
Susquehanna River backed into
the Lackawanna. The area where
this occurred is not protected by
any stretch of the levee.
Many in attendance on Thurs-
day stated the levee also should
be raised.
Carroll agreed, and said a con-
versation between Duryea and
its neighboring municipalities
needed to take place regarding
what could be done to prevent
future flooding. He said, howev-
er, that this project will be com-
pleted because funding was ap-
proved back in 2002.
While there is $1.5 million in
state funding set aside for the
portion of the levees construc-
tion, Duryea will be responsible
for the costs associated with ob-
taining easements and relocat-
ing utilities.
Michael Bedrin, DEP regional
director, identified a roughly 18-
month period from planning to
bidding out the construction, be-
fore the physical portion of the
project is under way.
One major area of concern for
the DEP is that of the portion of
the cemetery that will house the
stretch of levee. While initial ra-
diographic tests showed that no
unmarked graves were in the ar-
ea where the wall will be con-
structed, archeological excava-
tion found human remains.
After the meeting, Colleen
Connolly, a DEP regional spo-
keswoman, said DEP is coordi-
nating efforts with the Scranton
Diocese to make certain that all
bodies found are properly rebu-
ried.
Moss advised everyone to at-
tend a meeting that will be held
for Duryea and Jenkins Town-
ship at the Pittston Area High
School on Jan. 19 at 6 p.m.
Moss hopes that meeting will
lead to answers for questions re-
garding insurance claims, liabil-
ity and reimbursements. He also
said that while Duryea is no
longer making general flood de-
bris pickups, individuals who
were never serviced by the bor-
ough could call to make special
appointments to have municipal
workers collect their flood-dam-
aged debris.
DURYEA F LOOD RECOVERY
Levee completion is in works
Many people in attendance at
borough meeting stated the
levee also should be raised.
By B. GARRET ROGAN
Times Leader Correspondent
Blake Carroll
DURYEA -- The Duryea Bor-
ough Council voted Tuesday
night to reopen negotiations
with borough police to discuss
wages and contract expiration
dates.
Council members Frank Gro-
blewski and Michael McGlynn
voted against the motion. Both
stated preferences the motion
be delayed.
Although McGlynn refused to
elaborate on his statements,
Groblewski stated that he did
not want to enter into any fi-
nancial discussions before pay-
ments from the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency
have been received.
While he did not mention the
exact amount owed, he did state
his fear the borough would not
be able to afford any pay raise
that might result from the salary
negotiations without FEMA
payments.
He said the payments were
expected by the end of Decem-
ber, but as of Tuesday, still have
not been received. He did not
feel that the negotiations were
so urgent they had to be voted
on during Tuesdays meeting.
Despite the reservations of
Groblewski and McGlynn, and
the absence of council member
Al Akulonis, the motion passed
4-2.
Also on Tuesday, Duryea
resident Amy Hughes com-
plained the Duryea Community
Park has been closed for the
past few months.
Duryea Municipal Recreation
Board member Ellen Velehoski
said the decision to close the
park for the five typically cold
weather months of the year was
made due to concerns over
liability over ice on the side-
walks and vandalism fears.
The bulk of Hughes com-
plaints centered on the unsea-
sonably high temperatures that
have been experienced over the
past few weeks. While Velehoski
acknowledged this winter has
been atypical, she was backed
by several council members in
citing the need for consistency
in keeping the park regularly
closed during the winter. She
and the several council mem-
bers felt it would be difficult for
the police to patrol the park
based on weather trends.
McGlynn disagreed, saying he
felt the lighting in the park
combined with the weather
should allow the park to remain
open. He suggested the police
could handle the extra workload
and made a motion to keep the
park hours at 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
during cold weather months
and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the
warmer months.
His motion failed to gain a
second and it was not voted on
by the council.

WILKES-BARRE New statewide
rules regarding legal representation of
juveniles in court were sparked by the
judicial scandals that first rocked Lu-
zerne County three years ago.
The state Supreme Court, which
originally put into place rules regarding
juvenile court procedure in October
2005, amended the report Wednesday
to include guidelines for when juve-
niles cannot waive their right to coun-
sel.
The corruption connected to the ju-
venile justice system that occurred in
Luzerne County, the high court said in
a report, is the reason the counsel issue
was brought to its attention.
Even though waiv-
er of counsel is rarely
occurring across
(Pennsylvania), the
unfortunate circum-
stances that came to
light in Luzerne Coun-
ty brought this subject
to the forefront more
recently, the court
said.
Its a good move in
the right direction, but
I dont think it goes far
enough, said Cheryl
Sobeski-Reedy, an as-
sistant public defend-
er who heads the of-
fices Juvenile Defend-
er Unit.
Sobeski Reedy said
she would have liked to see the high
court prohibit the waiver of counsel.
Research shows that juveniles cant
understand the complexity of juvenile
court. In order to ensure juveniles
rights are protected, it would have been
better to prohibit the waiver, she said.
The Public Defenders Office, in
2010, formed a Juvenile Defenders
Unit that includes three attorneys, an
investigator, a secretary and two social
workers.
Sobeski-Reedy said Thursday that its
her offices policy to represent juveniles
in every court proceeding and that at-
torneys are involved from the time
written allegations are filed.
My concern is that other (public de-
fenders offices) might decide they will
cut corners (because the amendment
says representation is needed only in
specific hearings), she said. We are
not going to encourage self-representa-
tion.
The rules originally said a juvenile
could not waive the right to counsel
unless the waiver is knowingly, intelli-
gently and voluntarily made, and the
court conducts a questionnaire with
the juvenile on the record.

WILKES-BARRE Wherever Ron
Felton is invited to speak, he doesnt
change his message about Martin
Luther King Jr.
Thursday night the president of the
Wilkes-Barre NAACP spoke to approx-
imately 40 people at a program the or-
ganization presented at the First Pres-
byterian Church on South Franklin
Street, a few days in advance of the
83rd anniversary of the birth of the
slain civil rights leader.
Over the next couple of days before
Kings observed birth date on Monday,
Felton will be speaking at other public
events.
Ive been invited out to Sams
Club, he told the audience before
launching into a reading of a speech
King gave nearly 55 years ago at the
Lincoln Memorial in Wash-
ington, D.C., calling for vot-
ing rights for African-Amer-
icans.
So long as I do not firmly
and irrevocably possess the
right to vote, I do not pos-
sess myself, read Felton. I
cannot make up my mind
it is made up for me.
Over and over he repeat-
ed Kings plea of Give us the ballot
and his urging for leadership from the
federal government, whites and
blacks.
Felton acknowledged that many
people are looking for someone of
Kings stature to appear and thats un-
likely. Instead, they should heed his
words and put theminto practice. Ev-
erybody has to have a little bit of Dr.
King in him, said Felton.
Other speakers at the 45-minute pro-
gram put on by the local branch of the
National Association for the Advance-
ment of ColoredPeople offeredsimilar
comments.
Lydia Parham, president of the
Wilkes-Barre NAACP
youth council, said King
set an example for her
through his perseverance
and determination to help
all people. When she
thinks of him, she said, I
think of everything I can
do to excel in life.
Thomas Leary, presi-
dent of Luzerne County
Community College, recalled how
King made an impression on him as a
high school student in the 1960s. He
endedhis comments witha quote from
King: Our lives begin to end the day
we become silent about things that
matter.
The courage to speak up and act was
also calledfor by a historianof the Hol-
ocaust, added Luzerne County Judge
Tina Polachek-Gartley.
She said professor Yehuda Bauer
proposed three additional command-
ments tothe10observedinJewishand
Christian religions. One of the three,
she said, was Thou shall never, but
never be a bystander.

DALLAS TWP. Williams Field Ser-
vices LLC was granted approval with
several conditions from the zoning
hearing board Thursday night for its
application to build a natural gas me-
tering station off Lower Demunds
Road about 2,600 feet from the Dallas
schools.
The conditions are similar to those
stipulated upon another company,
Chief Gathering LLC, which received
approval last month to build a meter-
ing station off Hildebrandt Road about
500 feet away from the Williams site.
The metering facility
was approved provided
Williams abides by the
following conditions:
Install a fast-acting
shut-off valve upstream
of the facility and a valve
to prevent the backflow of natural gas
downstreamfromthemeteringstation
to minimize the effects of a potential
leak.
Provide certification that the
valves have been installed to the town-
ship engineer.
Construct a 6-foot-high fence with
barbed wire to be no less than 50 feet
away from ground equipment at all
points.
Post warning signs around the pe-
rimeter of the property.
Meet with local emergency re-
sponders and officials from the Dallas
School District to developanappropri-
ate emergency response plan.
Maintain a system integrity plan
for the metering facility applicable to
federal and national industry guide-
lines.
Do not store any hazardous mate-
rials at the site.

The amendments made this
month, which go into effect
March1, further detail whenjuve-
niles cannot waive their right to
have anattorney represent them.
Those instances include: A de-
tention hearing; a transfer hear-
ing (whether a case should be
heard in adult or juvenile court);
an adjudication hearing (where a
juvenile may be found to be a de-
linquent), including the accept-
ance of an admission (equivalent
toaguiltypleainadult court); dis-
positional hearing (similar to a
sentencing hearing in adult
court); andahearingtomodifyor
revoke probation.
Becauseof theramificationsof
a juvenile record, it is important
that every safeguard is taken to
ensure that all constitutional and
procedural guarantees and rights
are preserved, the rules state.
The amendment says that if a
judge determines a juvenile has
not made a knowingly, intelli-
gently and voluntary waiver of
counsel, a judgemust immediate-
lyappoint anattorneyforthejuve-
nile. If a juvenile has made an ac-
ceptablewaiver, thejudgemayap-
point a stand-by attorney for all
proceedings.
Once an attorney is appointed
toa juveniles case, the highcourt
says, that attorney must repre-
sent that juvenile until the final
judgment is complete, including
any appeals.
In an explanatory report, the
high court states that in August
2009, the Interbranch Commis-
sion on Juvenile Justice made
suggestions onhowtorestorejus-
tice and prevent similar events
fromhappeninginLuzerneCoun-
ty again.
One of the primary issues con-
cerned unrepresented juveniles
sent to placements facilities for
minor infractions, the report
says. One method of protecting
juveniles is ensuring that all juve-
niles have anattorney.

A former Hazleton area man
convicted more than 12 years
ago of sexually assaulting two
children has been granted a
new trial after the state Superi-
or Court determined his attor-
ney was ineffective for failing
to object to faulty jury instruc-
tions.
The ruling in the case of Ger-
ald John Delbridge is the latest
twist to the convoluted case
that has worked its way
through several appellate
courts over the past decade.
Delbridge, 50, was convicted
in May 1999 of aggravated in-
decent assault and other of-
fenses related to the alleged as-
saults of a 6-year-old girl and 4-
year-old boy who are related to
him.
The state Supreme Court in
2003 ordered that a new com-
petency hearing known as a
taint hearing be held for the
children based on evidence
their testimony had been influ-
enced by improper interview-
ing techniques.
That hearing was held in
2004 and a county judge deter-
mined there was no improper
influence. But that decision
was overturned in 2010 by then-
Judge Michael Toole, who de-
termined Delbridges attorney
at the time, Thomas Pavlinic,
had been ineffective for failing
to call certain witnesses.
Toole granted Delbridges
motion seeking a second taint
hearing, but did not grant him
a new trial. That led prosecu-
tors and Delbridge to file cross
appeals to the state Superior
Court. Prosecutors sought to
overturn the ruling granting
the new taint hearing, while
Delbridge sought to overturn
Tooles denial of a new trial.
The Superior Court, in a rul-
ing issued Dec. 29, found in
Delbridges favor on both is-
sues.
In addition to upholding a
new taint hearing, the court
granted Delbridge a new trial
based on Pavlinics failure to
adequately challenge improper
instructions that
were given to jurors
in the 1999 trial.
The improper in-
struction related to
how much weight
jurors could give al-
legations made by
one of the children
that Delbridge had
previously sexually
assaulted her. Del-
bridge was never
charged for that incident,
meaning jurors had to limit
how they utilized that informa-
tion in reaching their verdict.
The trial judge failed to inform
them of that, however.
First Assistant District Attor-
ney Sam Sanguedolce said
Thursday the office will appeal
the Superior Court decision to
the state Supreme Court.
If the high court upholds the
retrial order, Sanguedolce con-
ceded prosecutors would face a
difficult task to re-try the case
given the length of time that
has passed. The alleged victims
are now ages 18 and 20.
That certainly is an issue. If
we are required, we will make
every effort (to retry the case),
but it would be
extremely dif-
ficult, San-
guedolce said.
Memories
fade, even
with traumatic
events.
Delbridge
has already
served 12
years of his 10-
to-22-year
prison sentence, which means
he is eligible for parole. He has
twice been denied parole, in
part, because he has failed to
accept responsibility for his
crimes, according to the Parole
Board.
Delbridges current attorney,
Kelly Bray of Wilkes-Barre, said
Delbridge will not admit to the
crimes because he continues to
adamantly maintain his inno-
cence.
Delbridge is incarcerated at
the State Correctional Institu-
tion at Huntington. Bray said
she plans to file a court motion
seeking to have him released
on bail pending the resolution
of the prosecutions planned ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.

EDWARDSVILLE Released
from the Luzerne County Cor-
rectional Facility on Monday,
Kyle Morgan Newman was back
behind bars Wednesday night.
Police in Edwardsville and
Kingston said they arrested
Newman, 22, on charges he was
peddling marijuana.
Newman was arraigned
Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Cen-
tral Court on three counts of pos-
session with intent to deliver a
controlled substance, two counts
each of possession of a con-
trolled substance and possession
of drug paraphernalia, and a sin-
gle count of criminal use of a cell
phone.
He was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $100,000 bail.
Police allege they found a
large amount of marijuana,
scales, cellphones, contraband
and cash inside his apartment on
Beverly Drive, where Newman
was arrested.
He was released on Monday
from the county prison after a
hearing before President Judge
Thomas F. Burke Jr. on a charge
he failed to appear for a prelimi-
nary hearing on Jan. 4. Burke set
bail at $1,000 unsecured, allow-
ing Newmans release, according
to court records.
Court records indicate New-
man skipped the preliminary
hearing on charges he tres-
passed on property owned by
Hilltop Apartments in Edwards-
ville, and was driving a Lincoln
Navigator with an expired regis-
tration sticker on Nov. 30.
According to the criminal
complaints, police set up to pur-
chase marijuana from Newman
on Wednesday. He was spotted
by officers leaving his apartment
and driving the Lincoln to a pre-
arranged meeting place in King-
ston to sell the marijuana for
money, the criminal complaints
say.
Newman allegedly told police
that he sells marijuana on a dai-
ly basis to numerous custom-
ers.
In an unrelated case, Newman
was sentenced by a county judge
on Aug. 30 to 30 days probation
after he pleaded guilty to pos-
sessing marijuana during a traf-
fic stop on Main Street, King-
ston, on Nov. 11, 2010, according
to court records.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Jan. 18 before Dis-
trict Judge Paul Roberts in King-
ston.

increase in the nations debt limit.
The request is largely a formality. Its
the third and final request the presi-
dent is allowed under a deal the White
House and lawmakers reached in Au-
gust to prevent a government default.
But Republicans are likely to use the
election-year request as an opportunity
to criticize the presidents spending

A senior U.N. nuclear agency team

saying it is ready after years of refusal
to discuss allegations that it was in-

diplomats said Thursday.
Diplomats have previously said that
International Atomic Energy Agency
officials were discussing such a trip
with their Iranian counterparts. But
before the diplomats comments Thurs-
day, no date or indication that Iran
was ready to talk about the allegations
had been mentioned.
Any follow-through on the part of
Iran on its reported pledge to discuss

Warming cheap fix offered
An international team of scientists
says its figured out how to slow global
warming in the short run and prevent
millions of deaths from dirty air. And
they say their proposals would save
more money than it would cost.
These experts say the key is cutting
emissions of two powerful causes of
global warming methane and soot.
Methane is produced by landfills, farms
and energy production. Soot comes
from burning coal, wood and other
fuels. Reducing soot would save lives.
Most governments have focused on
curbing carbon dioxide, the most sig-
nificant greenhouse gas, which comes
from using fossil fuels. The study is
published online in the journal Science.

Principal used hypnosis
A Florida high school principal ac-

entered a written plea of not guilty to
two misdemeanor charges on Thurs-
day.
George Kenney, 52, was charged
earlier this week with two counts of
unlawful practice of hypnosis.
Officials say George Kenney hyp-
notized two North Port High students
before the two, independently of one
another, committed suicide last year.
Officials say Kenney had been warned
by his boss to stop using such one-on-
one hypnosis with students.
But Kenneys attorney, Mark Zim-
merman, said that the principals super-
visor only expressed concern and never
gave him a written directive to stop the
hypnosis.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Weary
Alaskans woke up to another big dump
of snowon Thursday, adding to what al-
ready has been the snowiest period on
record in Anchorage and causing more
headaches in coastal areas struggling to
dig out.
The snow started falling shortly be-
fore midnight, and meteorologists
warned Anchorage residents the heavi-
est snowfall up to16 inches could
come later Thursday.
About 150 miles to the southeast, the
Prince William Sound community of
Cordova, whichhas alreadybeenburied
under 172 inches of snow since Novem-
ber, could get another 7 inches Thurs-
day, meteorologist Shaun Baines said.
The picturesque fishingcommunity has
had so much snow, National Guard
troops helping clear roads are running
out of shovels.
In nearby Valdez, another coastal
community thats seen 318 inches of
snow, veterinarian Kathryn Hawkins
said its been difficult to keep up with
the shoveling, and 8-foot walls of snow
line either side of her driveway.
After snow fell off her roof, she cant
see out either the front or back of her
house.
I look out and go, Oh my gosh,
where can it all go? Hawkins said.
The scary part is, we still have three
more months to go, she said.
The record snowfall is the result of
two atmospheric patterns that are con-
spiring to send an unending series of
storms into Alaska, said Jeff Masters, a
meteorologist who runs Weather Un-
derground, a meteorology service that
tracks strange and extreme weather.
For thesecondwinter inarow, thePa-
cific weather phenomenon known as La
Nina is affecting the weather. But in-
stead of plentiful snowin the Lower 48,
Alaska is getting slammed because of
the second weather pattern.
Thats called the Arctic Oscillation,

ing air patterns to the south and keep-
ing the coldest winter air locked up in

DETROIT Fighting crime is a 24-
hour job, but Detroit police stations will
be sticking to business hours.
The department is rolling out a plan to
close precincts and district headquarters
to the public after 4 p.m. Its an effort to
put more officers on patrol, especially in
the most besieged neighborhoods, with-
out adding to the citys $200 million bud-
get deficit.
The policy took effect this week in an
especially tough area on the citys east
side. Over the next month, the practice
will spread to the six other stations.
At the first precinct to adopt the new
system, Michael Morris stopped by to
make an accident report. He said he
would reserve judgment.
Lets see the response time on the
street, Morris said. Then
hell be able to say if its work-
ing.
Officers are still inside the
building around the clock,
but at night public access is
limited to a phone in the
foyer linked to a 24-hour
crime-reporting unit.
Smaller communities have
adopted the same approach,
but Detroit will be the largest
American city to try it. Police
Chief Ralph Godbee said the
idea would re-engineer
how the department operates.
Closing precincts to the public by late
afternoon is not expected to save money.
It just reassigns officers and their duties.
Two clerks have typically staffed the
midnight shift at each precinct, and a re-
cent survey by the chiefs office showed
they take an average of only two reports
each night, Godbee said.
Like many police departments, De-
troits force is under severe financial con-
straints. The city has about 2,700 offi-
cers, down from 4,000 a dec-
ade ago. Another 100 officers
could be laid off by next
month without federal grant
money.
There are few areas to
make cuts other than jobs,
something the police chief
and Mayor Dave Bing are
loath to do, particularly in
light of the citys violent
crime rate, one of the highest
in the country, and a spike in
murders.
Compounding matters is
Detroits size: 139 square miles. Al-
though the population has fallen from
1.8 million in 1950 to 700,000 today, offi-
cers must still patrol a large area.
We have done a disservice to our
community by spreading ourselves thin,
giving citizens the belief that we will re-
spond to things that are not an emergen-
cy, Godbee said. The changes are main-
ly for those brave men and women that
are overtaxed out there answering calls
for service.

headquarters to the public after 4
p.m. puts more officers on patrol.

Like many police
departments,
Detroits force is
under severe fi-
nancial con-
straints. The city
has about 2,700
officers, down
from 4,000 a dec-
ade ago.
LAGOS, Nigeria A major
union threatened Thursday to
stop the beating heart of Nige-
rias economy crude oil pro-
duction as part of a nation-
wide strike and protests grip-
ping Africas most populous na-
tion.
World oil prices climbed on
the news. Nigeria is the fifth-
largest oil exporter to the U.S.,
and a shutdown would force
American refineries to replace
630,000 barrels per day of
crude.
The unions ability to enforce
a shutdown, beginningSunday,
across the swamps of Nigerias
southern delta to its massive
offshore oil fields, remains in
question. But the threat of a
strike caused jitters on global
oil markets as traders world-
wide worriedabout supply.
Nigeria has been paralyzed
by a strike that began Monday
after President Goodluck Jo-
nathans government aban-
doned subsidies that kept gaso-
line prices low. Overnight, pric-
es at the pump more than dou-
bled, from$1.70 per gallonto at
least $3.50pergallon. Thecosts
of food and transportation also
doubledina nationwhere most
peopleliveonlessthan$2aday.
Anger over losing one of the
few benefits average Nigerians
see frombeing an oil-rich coun-
try, as well as disgust over gov-
ernment corruption, haveledto
demonstrations across this na-
tionof160millionpeopleandvi-
olence that has killedat least 12
people.
The Petroleum and Natural
Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria, which represents
about 20,000 workers, said it
would be forced to apply the
bitter option of closing down
all oil and gas production if the
government refused to rein-
state the gasoline subsidies.

Both of Luzerne Countys
representatives in the U.S.
House have come out with
endorsements for former U.S.
senator from Pennsylvania,
Rick Santorum, for president.
In statements issued this
week, Rep. Tom Marino, R-
Lycoming Township, and Rep.
Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, both
cited their longtime friendship
with Santorum, who is trying
to secure the Republican nomi-
nation for president, as partial
reasons for their commitment.
He has been a tireless ad-
vocate for common-sense con-
servative values his entire
career. He is one of the hardest-
working candidates that I have
ever met; his showing in (the
Jan. 3) Iowa Caucus is evi-
dence of that, said Marino.
Santorum finished second in
Iowa, trailing only former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney, by eight votes. In Tues-
days New Hampshire primary,
Santorum didnt fare as well,
finishing fifth and receiving
just 10 percent of the votes
cast. Next up in the primary
schedule is South Carolina on
Jan. 21. Santorum is viewed by
many as a strong contender,
like he was in Iowa, because of
a strong Christian conservative
base of voters.
Marino said he shares Santo-
rums vision of lower taxes,
less spending, private-sector
job creation, a strong national
defense and traditional family
values. But when campaign
spokesman Jason Fitzgerald
was asked if the congressman
supported Santorums views
that abortion should be illegal
even in cases of rape, or if he
agreed with the former sen-
ators well known use of ear-
marks, he clarified the repre-
sentatives support.
Congressman Marino does
not necessarily agree with Sen.
Santorum on every issue; how-
ever, he does believe that the
senator is right about the most
important issues that face our
nation today. The senator has a
plan to help the private sector
create family sustaining jobs,
cut taxes, trim spending, elim-
inate unneeded government
regulation and keep our nation
safe, Fitzgerald said.
In addition to Romney and
Santorum, the GOP field in-
cludes former Utah Gov. John
Huntsman, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul
of Texas, Texas Gov. Rick Per-
ry and former Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich. Barletta
said Santorum was always
supportive, especially when I
was mayor of Hazleton and
during my campaigns. He is a
great leader and an incredibly
hard worker.

ments:
Young voters in the Repub-
lican presidential race are flock-
ing to a 76-year-old great-grand-
father who gives eye-glazing
speeches on monetary policy and
disappears from the campaign
trail for days at a time to rest.
Texas Rep. Ron Pauls libertar-
ian message of less government
and personal liberty is clicking
with young people. And its
young people who are supplying
oomph for Pauls stronger-than-
expected presidential campaign.
Nearly half of all voters under 30
went for Paul in New Hampshire
and Iowa, the first two states to
vote.
Pauls campaign events are
charged with an energy that any
politician would love, attracting
youthful activists ranging from
preppy college students to blue
collar workers and artists. Their
lopsided support has made Paul
a force to be reckoned with in the
2012 campaign.
Republican presidential can-
didate Rick Santorum is facing a
double-barreled challenge in
South Carolina. He has to build a
strong campaign organization
and rebut an expected onslaught
of attacks on his fiscal record
from his time representing Penn-
sylvania in Congress.
And he has just 10 days to do it.
Santorum is popular with so-
cial conservatives who fill the
eral bailout of the financial indus-
try to see who got the money and
why.
When you have crony-capital-
ismand politicians taking care of
their friends, thats not free-en-
terprise. Thats back-door social-
ism, Gingrich said during re-
marks to older voters at a senior
citizens expo.
During a morning TV inter-
view, Gingrich said his questions
about Romney were not the cen-
terpiece of his campaign in
South Carolina. Still, he said it
was important to question Rom-
neys record because the former
Massachusetts governor has
based his campaign on the argu-
ment that he has the
necessary business ex-
perience to restore the
economy.
The former House
speaker predicted that a
win in the first-in-the-
South primary would
pave a path to the presi-
dency.
Meanwhile, speaking to about
30 people at a restaurant north of
Columbia, Texas Gov. Rick Perry
left out his vulture capitalist at-
tack onRomneys work withBain
Capital. But in an interview with
Fox News that came afterward
and played on the restaurants
big-screen TVs, he repeatedly de-
fended his criticism.
Perry insisted he was not tak-
ing on all venture capitalists, but
was specifically assailing Bain
Capital, the firm that the former
Massachusetts governor co-
founded.
Were trying to lure more ven-
ture capitalists into my home
state every day, the Texas gover-
nor said, but the idea that you
get private equity companies to
come in and, you know, take
companies apart so they can
make quick profits and then peo-
ple lose their jobs, I dont think
thats what Americas looking for.
I hope thats not what the Repub-
lican Partys about.
In other election develop-
COLUMBIA, S.C. Under
pressure from some in his own
party, Republican presidential
candidate Newt Gingrich pulled
back his public attacks on front-
runner Mitt Romney at least
for now.
Gingrich stuck to a largely sub-
dued stump speech during two
events Thursday in South Caroli-
nas capital, focusing instead on
his plans for saving Social Securi-
ty, creating jobs and boosting do-
mestic energy production.
The often-combative Gingrich
made no references to Romney,
nor did he repeat his criticism of
the former Massachusetts gover-
nors record as a ven-
ture capitalist. A pro-
Gingrich political ac-
tion committee also
has railed against
Romneys tenure at
the helmof Bain Cap-
ital with the release
this week of a 28-min-
ute film assailing Romney for
reaping massive rewards as
head of the private equity firm.
That line of attack has some
Republicans worried that Gin-
grich is trying to save his falter-
ing campaign at the partys ex-
pense. Gingrich is grasping for a
campaign lifeline in South Car-
olina, which holds its primary
Jan. 21, after a pair of disappoint-
ing fourth-place finishes in the
contests in Iowa and NewHamp-
shire.
The U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce entered the debate Thurs-
day, saying it was foolish for
Republicans to bash Romney for
his work as a venture capitalist. A
top South Carolina support of
GOP contender Rick Perry, who
had taken to calling Romney a
vulture capitalist, said Thurs-
day he was joining Romneys
camp out of irritation over Per-
rys attacks.
Gingrich acknowledged draw-
ing the ire of some conservatives.
But he insisted their anger was
over his calls for auditing the fed-
state but up until now he had fo-
cused almost exclusively on Io-
wa. That means he enters the
campaign for South Carolinas
GOPprimary witha weaker orga-
nization than some of his rivals,
including front-runner Mitt Rom-
ney.
Santorum and his team have
spent the past week working to
build up a grass-roots network
statewide.
He recently asked one of his
audiences to please pray for us.

If Shell Oil Co. picks Penn-
sylvania for the site of a job-
producing petrochemical
plant as state officials hope, it
likely will be located near
Pittsburgh about a 300-mile
drive from Northeastern
Pennsylvania, where unem-
ployment ranks highest.
U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey, D-
Scranton, this
week wrote a
letter to Shell
President
Mark Quar-
termain urg-
ing him to
choose the
Keystone State as the destina-
tion for the $2 billion project.
Shells plans are driven by
the vast natural gas reserves
in the Marcellus Shale, a deep
formation that lies beneath
New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia and parts
of other states.
The main product in the
proposed Shell plant is ethy-
lene, which is used to produce
chemicals that go into every-
thing from plastics to tires
and antifreeze.
Such plants are called crack-
er plants because they break
apart the molecules of the eth-
ane gas harvested from the
shale to produce various prod-
ucts.
In addition to being the ep-
icenter of the growing Mar-
cellus Shale natural gas indus-
try, Casey wrote, Pennsylvania
has the skilled workers, nat-
ural resources and innovative
research network needed to
support this plant and boost
Pennsylvanias economy.
It has been reported that
Shell is considering locations
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
Shell spokeswoman Kayla
Macke said the project will
create up to 10,000 construc-
tion jobs, several hundred full-
time jobs at the plant and
about 5.5 indirect jobs for
each of those jobs. She said
site requirements for the plant
include good access to: areas
with the highest concentra-
tions of ethane, water and rail
infrastructure, power grids,
underground storage facilities,
a skilled and cost-effective lo-
cal work force, conducive reg-
ulatory requirements, and
enough land to accommodate
the facility and allow for fu-
ture growth.
Macke would not say what
part of Pennsylvania was be-
ing considered, but only the
Pittsburgh area has the water-
ways that would support ship-
ping in the Marcellus Shale re-
gion. She said the location
would be announced early this
year.
Regardless of the Pennsyl-
vania locale, the project would
benefit all state residents, said
Casey spokesman John Rizzo.
And despite a report in an
Ohio newspaper on Wednes-
day that cited unnamed ex-
perts who expect the plant
will be located in Southeast
Ohio, Rizzo said Casey contin-
ues working to attract it to the
Keystone State.

could bring
10,000 jobs

WILKES-BARRE A former
Luzerne County Correctional Fa-
cility guard was sentenced
Thursday to18months probation
on charges he purchased drugs
from another prison guard.
JohnM. Carey, 38, of Kingston,
was sentenced on a single count
of possession of a controlled sub-
stance.
Carey, who pleaded guilty to
the charge in November, was
chargedinMarchafter aninvesti-
gation by the state attorney gen-
eral.
Deputy Attorney General Tim
Doherty prosecuted the case. Ca-
rey was represented by attorney
Ferris Webby.
According to court papers, Ca-
rey and three other prison work-
ers were charged in a 13-month
investigation.
InMay2010, Careytestifiedbe-
fore a grand jury that he began re-
ceiving cocaine fromJohnGonda
in 2008, and that Gonda would
deliver the cocaine toCareyat his
apartment.
Carey further testified that
Gonda, a former guard, provided
him with half grams of cocaine
approximately 10 to15 times, un-
til Gonda was arrested in March
2009 in another case.
Gonda, 40, of White Haven,
was sentencedinNovember 2010
toone totwoyears incounty pris-
on on charges relating to a $3.6
million cocaine distribution ring
based in Ashley and run by mem-
bers of the Outlaws Motorcycle
Club.
Gonda was released from pris-
on in July 2011, according to
court papers, and paroled to the
countys Day Reporting Center.
Others charged in the investi-
gation included prison nursing
supervisor, Kevin Warman, 51.
Two prison guards, Jason Fier-
man, 36, and Christopher Walsh,
29, were also charged and are
awaiting trial.
Court papers indicate Warman
and Fierman provided drugs to
inmates and other guards, while
Walsh is accused of selling drugs
to another guard, but not in-
mates.
Warman and Carey had previ-
ously been terminated fromtheir
jobs at the prison, while Fierman
and Walsh are suspended with-
out pay pending the outcome of
the criminal charges, prison War-
denJosephPiazza saidThursday.

SCRANTON A Wilkes-Barre
man was captured at his resi-
dence Thursday on charges he
ambushed and attacked an ex-
girlfriend before stealing her ve-
hicle in Scranton.
Darrin M. Battle, 25, was ap-
prehended by Wilkes-Barre po-
lice at his residence at 165 N.
Sherman St. early Thursday
morning.
Scranton police allege Battle
was waiting outside a house on
Prospect Avenue for Lauren
Rushton to arrive. When Rush-
ton pulled into the driveway just
before 10:30 Wednesday night,
Battle yelled obscenities and
punched her
several times in
the head, caus-
ing her to fall to
the ground.
Rushton
stated she
passed out a
fewtimes when
Battle choked her. She also said
Battle threatened to kill her be-
fore stealing her vehicle, accord-
ing to charges filed.
Scranton police said Rushton
provided a possible address in
Wilkes-Barre where Battle may
have fled. Wilkes-Barre police de-
tained Battle at his residence for
Scranton police.
Rushtons vehicle was parked
in front of Battles residence,
Scranton police said.
Rushton was treated for facial
injuries at the Community Med-
ical Center in Scranton.
Battle was charged with aggra-
vated assault, simple assault, ter-
roristic threats, disorderly con-
duct and harassment. He was
jailed at the Lackawanna County

MARLENE DWYER, 78, of
White Haven, passed away in her
home on Monday, January 2, 2012.
She was predeceased by the true
love of her life, her husband, Da-
niel Dwyer. She is survived by her
brother, two daughters and their
respective families, including a re-
cently born great-grandson whom
she couldnt stop talking about.
Born in Danzig, Germany, in 1933
(Poland at the time), she was a
fighter, overcoming many difficul-
ties in her life. This is perhaps the
reason that she had such a desire
to live life to its fullest, traveling,
opening a restaurant in the Philip-
pines, and starting a computer
business in Barbados for example.
She had won awards for her craft-
making and late in life became a
jewelry enthusiast, designing and
making several items. An outspo-
ken woman who was always will-
ing to tell you what she thought,
she had a heart of gold and was
willing to help anyone that needed
it.
She will be missed by many.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge on Wednesday ap-
proved a request by prosecutors
to name as a material witness the
brother of a man charged with
homicideintheshootingdeathof
a 20-year-old Hazleton woman.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
set $10,000 unsecured bail for
Darrell Westbrooks, 20, of Brook-
lyn, N.Y., after prosecutors made
the request to do so in court pa-
pers after being unable to locate
him.
Darrell Westbrooks is the
brother of 22-year-old Benjamin
Tyrell Westbrooks, who faces a
Jan. 30 trial on a single count of
homicide in the November 2010
shooting death of Alicia Weaver.
Prosecutors said in court pa-
pers they had not been able to lo-
cate Darrell Westbrooks and
noted his DNA was on a bullet
casing found at the crime scene.
Darrell Westbrooks was taken
into custody Tuesday in New
York and brought to Luzerne
County to appear before Pola-
chek Gartley on Wednesday.
The judge told Westbrooks he
was not under arrest, but if he did
not comply with the conditions
that go along with his unsecured
bail, he may be incarcerated.
Polachek Gartley said West-
brooks must check in with inves-
tigators once a week until the
trial begins, and that he must ap-
pear at the trial to offer truthful
testimony.
Westbrooks said Wednesday
he had not received any notice
that he needed to be in Luzerne
County to testify.
Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks
trial is tentatively scheduled to
beginJan. 30, anda pre-trial hear-
ing is scheduled before Polachek
Gartley next week.
State police at Hazleton said
Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks and
another man approached Weaver
while she was talking with a
friend, Christopher Gonzalez, on
Wyoming Street in downtown
Hazleton on Nov. 13, 2010.
Gonzalez told police West-
brooks took a very aggressive
tone with Weaver, asking where
his money was, and Weaver and
Westbrooks disappeared short-
ly afterward.
A witness, Daniel Smith, told
police he was with Westbrooks
when he drove Weaver from
Wyoming Street to his apartment
and then to a dirt road in Foster
Township, where they all got out
of an SUV.
Smith told police he heard a
gunshot, turned and saw Weaver
fall to the ground. He saw West-
brooks fire about four more
rounds at Weaver as she lay on
the ground.
Request for
witness is
approved in
homicide

WILKES-BARRE A man
who pleaded guilty Thursday to
a month-long crime spree that
ranged from theft of a $2.49
hoagie to holding up a Luzerne
convenience store at gunpoint
is facing up to 10 years in pris-
on.
Eric Lee Jasiulewicz, 30, with
a last known address of Hanov-
er Village, Hanover Township,
entered the plea to three theft-
related charges and one count
of robbery before Luzerne
County Senior Judge Joseph
Augello.
Jasiulewicz, who has had five
previous convictions on retail
theft charges, will be sentenced
on March 2.
According to court papers,
the crime spree be-
gan on Sept. 5,
2010 when Luzerne
Borough police
were called to the
Fuel On store on
Main Street for an
armed robbery. Two
store clerks said a
man, later identi-
fied as Jasiulewicz,
entered the store,
approached the counter with a
coffee, demanded money and
displayed a hand gun.
Jasiulewicz fled with an un-
determined amount of money.
Four days later, police said
Jasiulewicz entered Gerritys
Supermarket on Union Street in
Pringle and put a $2.49 hoagie
into his back pocket. Police said
Jasiulewicz tried to leave the
store without paying for the
hoagie when two loss-preven-
tion officers approached him.
Then, on Sept.
24, police said Ja-
siulewicz and two
other people con-
spired to take
$220 worth of lob-
ster, steak, paper
towels and toilet
paper from the
Weis Markets in
Dallas.
Three days lat-
er, police said, Jasiulewicz was
living in a home on West Lu-
zerne Avenue in Larksville
when he moved out without
any notification. A landlord told
police Jasiulewicz took with
him a new washer and dryer,
valued at $634, that the land-
lord purchased for the unit, and
that Jasiulewicz was not autho-
rized to take.
Man charged in spree could face 10 years in prison
Eric Lee Jasiulewicz has had
five previous convictions on
retail theft charges.

College students need
lessons on keeping pets
I
live in College Town, USA, aka down-
town Wilkes-Barre, in the backyards of
students living in off-campus housing. I
miss you kids when you graduate or leave
for the semester, and hope you arent wor-
rying too much about the cats you threw
out like the old furniture you left on the
curb.
Theyre starving right about now and
looking a little scruffy. Theyre scared and
cold and constantly are being chased by
your neighbors, who are tired of them
fighting or begging for food and comfort.
Maybe you think these beautiful cats
just disappear.
Next time, drop off your previous pet at
the SPCA before you go.
And next semester, do all your neigh-
bors a favor and dont get another one.
This goes for everyone, not just students.
Kudos to those people who love, enjoy
and do take care of their pets; so sorry
were all burdened by those who dont.

Barletta gets backing
on balanced budget view
A
mericans have been forced to make
serious financial decisions at home,
and finally our government will be
forced to show a little bit of that same type
of fiscal responsibility.
Thanks to Congressman Lou Barlettas
support of a Balanced Budget Amend-
ment, a system could soon be in place to
keep massive government spending in
check. With our governments habit of
spending at unprecedented levels, this
kind of legislation is necessary.
The amendment would force our presi-
dent and Congress to spend only what our
nation has. Im glad Congressman Barletta
recognizes its time that Capitol Hill kicks
its multitrillion-dollar spending addiction.

Writer: Adults can curb
childhood obesity trend
T
here are so many children in this world
who are obese. We need to find a way
to stop this, because it is becoming a
serious problem. Child obesity can lead to
depression, low self-esteem and medical
problems such as diabetes.
One out of every three children in the
United States is now considered obese.
Kids are spending way too much time
playing video games, going on the comput-
er and watching television. They are
spending less time exercising.
I think the fast-food restaurants should
put a healthier selection on their menus
because these restaurants are, in part,
making children obese. Also, parents
should start caring what their children are
eating and doing, because every day more
and more children are becoming obese.

THIS YEAR will be a cru-
cial year for the natural gas
drillers in the Marcellus
Shale and their environ-
mentalist opponents.
Chesapeake Energy,
Anadarko Petroleum, Exco
Resources and Cabot Oil & Gas, among
other companies, already have made great
strides and profits in expanding the
natural gas industry by persuading the legis-
lators in Harrisburg that drilling is not only
a lucrative but necessary means of address-
ing the nations energy needs.
On the other hand, environmental groups
and certain homeowners in the affected
region insist on greater regulation of the
industry by appealing to various state agen-
cies. Until now, their arguments have been
based on water rights, environmental pollu-
tion, the safe disposal of used fracking fluid
and full disclosure of chemicals used in the
drilling process issues that seemingly have
been either circumvented or ignored by the
gas companies while Harrisburg looks the
other way.
If they are to be successful, environmental
groups and other watchdog organizations
must emphasize the economics of the drill-
ing process; its the only issue the gas com-
panies understand.
The London Mining Network an alli-
ance of human rights, development and
environmental groups committed to expos-
ing companies engaged in destructive
mining projects around the world offers an
effective blueprint for opponents of Marcel-
lus Shale drilling.
Mining is one of the most polluting indus-
tries in the world. Use of coal in energy
generation is a major contributor to de-
structive climate change. Similarly, the use
of uranium produces radioactivity that
threatens both human health and the nat-
ural environment.
In addition, mining has a disproportion-
ately negative impact on land-based commu-
nities, especially indigenous peoples, and is
frequently associated with forced evictions,
military conflict and human rights abuses.
These activities violate the United Na-
tions Declaration on the Rights of Indige-
nous Peoples, which establishes their right
to free, prior and informed consent before
projects affecting their lands or resources
are allowed to proceed.
London is the worlds biggest center for
investment in the minerals industry. British
investment banks, pension funds and insur-
ance companies invest hundreds of millions
of pounds a year in scores of mining projects
around the globe. Most of the worlds big-
gest mining companies are listed on the
London Stock Exchange and on its Alterna-
tive Investment Market.
The London Mining Network monitors
and exposes the finances and destructive
activities of mining companies listed on the
London Stock Exchange as well as the Lon-
don-based funders and the British govern-
ment, which support those destructive
mining projects.
It achieves these goals in a variety of
ways, but the most effective method has
been through economic intervention, in-
cluding:
Researching the finances of mining
companies and making them available to
the public through published and online
reports.
Completing its own cost analysis of a
mining project based on the overall cost to
the environment and land-based communi-
ties and the profit/loss potential, and then
making that information available to the
public.
Ensuring that mining projects are not
allowed to proceed without recognition of
land title for mining-affected communities.
Participating as dissident sharehol-
ders in company meetings.
Organizing boycotts of the businesses
and investment institutions that fund the
offending mining companies.
Opponents of natural gas drilling can
strengthen their case for more stringent
regulation of the industry by employing
such methods. Ultimately, they will be mak-
ing the natural gas companies accountable
to the bottom line the only line they
understand.

an, community college professor and writer. He can

URNS OUT THOSE
emotionally draining
disputes parents
sometimes have with
their teenagers really do help
the kids, which is terribly reaf-
firming. After all, isnt our pas-
sion for our teens welfare the
reasonwe wander intothose ar-
guments in the first place?
University of Virginia re-
searchers, in a study published
recently in the journal Child
Development, concluded that
parent-teen spats prove to be
somethingof apositivetraining
ground for teens. Particularly
whenconductedwithina realm
of relative calm, such face-offs
can equip youngsters with the
requisite confidence to buck
the group trend when drugs or
drinkingor other dangers arise.
Researchers interviewed 137
13-year-olds, then returned to
interview them again when
they were 15 and 16.
The teens wholearnedtobe
calmand confident and persua-
sive with their parents acted
the same way when they were
with their peers, psychologist
Joseph P. Allen, who headed
the study, told National Public
Radio.
Those kids whoarguedopen-
ly with their parents felt more
comfortable taking contrary
positions with friends. They
were 40 percent more likely to
say no to drugs or alcohol than
teens who didnt engage in
heated debates with mom or
dad.
Theresearchers stressedthat
parents must listen as well as
pound home their own points
when arguing with teens; that
they should indulge their kids
only when the teen is behaving
calmly and talking respectfully;
that screaming, pouting,
threatening or name-calling is
not among the tactics that ben-
efit the child either later in the
teen years or later in life.
So please respect and hear
your teens. But goaheadandar-
gue with them. It might just
save them someday.

OTHER OPINION: PARENTING
Some disputes

DIVERSITY ISNT A
dirty word, yet it gets
treatedby toomany peo-
pleinLuzerneCountyas
if it were taboo. They dont
mention it, maybe dont even
stop to think about it.
Or they distort its meaning,
for instance, in conversations
about this areas mostly all-
white public school faculty,
equating calls for more diversi-
ty in the teaching ranks as de-
mands for hiring quotas.
Diversity will be celebrat-
ed locally during a smattering
of events this holidayweekend,
as part of Martin Luther King
Jr. Day commemorations. But
by Tuesday, itll be back to
business as usual: minimal
meaningful interaction be-
tween Asians, blacks, Hispan-
ics and whites, or, for that mat-
ter, Muslim, ChristianandJew.
Our civic leaders can, if they
choose, do more throughout
the year to champion diversity.
And they certainly should, if
not out of principle, thenout of
practicality; ours needs to be a
more welcoming, tolerant
community if it is to grow and
thrive.
Members of the newly
formed Luzerne County Coun-
cil can do their parts by striv-
ing for diversity when appoint-
ing area residents to the coun-
tys many authorities, boards
and commissions. Ditto for fu-
ture hiring decisions at the
courthouse.
Luzerne Countys college
campuses shouldnot betheon-
ly forums in which people hear
about homophobia. Or Islamo-
phobia. Or the irrational fears
of other differences that tend
to foster mistrust and frag-
ment our society.
In recent months, Major
League Baseball manager Joe
Maddon, a Hazleton native, re-
turned to that city to spear-
head what he calls the Hazle-
ton Integration Project. It
aims to bridge gaps between
longtime residents and new-
comers, including Latinos.
Separately, attorney and for-
mer pro football player Harry
Hamilton last year spotlighted
the under-representation of
people of color working in
the county court system.
Their voices should be
joined by those of other people
who dont accept the status
quo as the way things need to
be, or should be. Question why
certain city councils and
school boards always are pre-
dominantly male. Askwhy par-
ticular municipalities remain
lily-white. Stand up for diversi-
ty.
And talk about it. All year.

a social hub for the town, Moore
said.
(Now) you have to think
about what you need before you
go out or before you go to work,
because once youget home its an
hour to get there and back Not
only did people in town rely on
the store, but our elderly in the
high rise, a lot of them dont
drive.
Subway is the 10th of 28 busi-
nesses affected by the flood to re-
open. Others that have come
back include a hardware store, a
gas station, a pharmacy, a fitness
center, a coffee shop and a bar.
Shickshinny residents now can
do more close to their homes
than they could in the aftermath
of the historic flood.
As part of a special long-term
recovery program, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
has held weekly meetings with
business owners and other com-
munity members, who have iden-
tified several core challenges in-
hibiting their recovery.
The markets departure is one
of them, as business owners fear
that if residents leave Shickshin-
ny to buy basic necessities such
as groceries, they will buy other
products they could purchase in
town while they are away.
They also have concerns about
attracting residents from other
areas to shop in Shickshinny, im-
proving the towns aesthetic ap-
peal and protecting businesses
from future floods.
Jim Bach owns Bachs Fitness
Center on Main Street, home of
Shickshinnys iconic gorilla man-
nequin.
He said the decision to reopen
the gym was an easy one; it is his
livelihood and a tribute to his de-
ceased father, who for decades
ran a furniture store in the same
building.
Address flood causes
But Bach said he fears the gov-
ernment is only treating symp-
toms of the flood and not the
causes that made the waters
higher than ever before.
He points to a picture on the
gym wall of the Susquehanna
River taken in the 19th century.
Anislandwithonly seventrees in
the photo now has more than
1,000andhas doubledinsize, and
the mouth of the creek that flows
through the town has been re-
shaped by sedimentation so that
its water now flows out against
the current of the river, he said.
No one wants to address the
problemsothat it doesnt happen
again, Bach said. And youre
wiping people out; youre wiping
out their livelihood, and then
whos going to pay the taxes.
Bach said he has rebuilt twice,
after the 1972 and 2011 floods,
but he is resolute that he will not
do it again.
Next to Bachs Fitness Center,
the Miss Ashleys Beach House
preschool will reopen Monday.
Owner Ashley Holmes said wait-
ing months for her flood insur-
ance check as she rebuilt was a
struggle.
Unless you wanted to take a 4
percent (Small Business Admin-
istration) loan, there is no help
for businesses, she said matter-
of-factly.
Chance to reorganize
But rebuilding after the flood
provided a chance to pare down
to the core business she began
seven years ago, which had ex-
panded so much she felt more
like a debt collector and human
resources person than a teacher.
I knewthat I wanted to down-
size, Holmes said. I had 40 fam-
ilies, I employed seven people
and I was working 60 hours a
week. When I had the flood I de-
cided this was my chance to start
over and do it the way I always
wanted to do it.

cutting the ribbon
celebrating the
official reopening
of the Subway
sandwich shop on
Main Street in
Shickshinny. The
shop was sub-
merged in the
September flood
just three weeks
after it opened.
Subway is the
10th of 28 busi-
nesses affected
by the flood to
reopen.
a battalion officer confirmed to investi-
gators on Thursday, based on his exam-
ination of the video, that the four men
depicted urinating had been members of
the battalion. Two have since moved on
to other units.
As the video spread across the Inter-
net in postings and re-postings, U.S. offi-
cials joined with Afghans in calling it
shocking, deplorable, inhumane and a
breach of military standards of conduct.
It shows men in Marine combat gear
standing in a semicircle urinating on the
bodies of three men in standard Afghan
clothing, one whose chest was covered
in blood.
Its not certain who the dead were.
The incident will likely further hurt
ties with Karzais government and com-
plicatenegotiations over astrategic part-
nership arrangement meant to govern
the presence of U.S. troops and advisers
in Afghanistan after most international
combat troops withdraw by the end of
2014.
The U.S. is trying to foster peace talks
between the Karzai government and the
Pakistan-based Taliban high command,
and has made unprecedented offers to
build trust with the insurgents, includ-
ing the planned opening of a Taliban po-
litical office to oversee talks.
Anti-American sentiment is already
on the rise in Afghanistan, especially
among Afghans who have not seen im-
provements to their daily lives despite
billions of dollars in international aid.
They also have deplored the accidental
killing of civilians during NATO air-
strikes and argue that foreign troops
have culturally offended the Afghan peo-
ple, mostly when it comes to activities
involving women and the Quran, the
Muslim holy book.
Pentagon officials said the criminal in-
vestigationwouldlikelylookintowheth-
er the Marines violated laws of war. It al-
so appeared to violate the U.S. Uniform
Code of Military Justice, which governs
conduct.
Karzai calledthe videocompletelyin-
humane. The Afghan Defense Ministry
called it shocking. And the Taliban is-
sued a statement accusing U.S. forces of
committing numerous indignities
against the Afghan people.
U.S. officials said a military criminal
investigation was being led by the Naval
Criminal Investigative Service, the law
enforcement arm of the Navy. The Ma-
rines will do their own internal investi-
gation.
Panetta said the actions depicted in
the brief video were inexcusable.
I have seen the footage, and I find the
behavior depicted in it utterly deplora-
ble. I condemn it in the strongest possi-
ble terms, Panettas statement said.
Those found to have engaged in such
conduct will be held accountable to the
fullest extent.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said
hewas deeplydisturbedbythevideoand
worried that it would erode the reputa-
tion of the entire military, not just the
Marine Corps.
Aveterans group, the IraqandAfghan-
istan Veterans of America, noted the vid-
eo was the act of a small number of Ma-
rines andsaidit didnot reflect thebehav-
ior of the millions who have served hon-
orably.
Asked howthe development might af-
fect U.S.-Afghan-Taliban peace efforts,
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clin-
ton did not directly reply.
The United States remains strongly
committed to helping build a secure,
peaceful, prosperous, democratic future
for the people of Afghanistan, she said.
And we will continue to support efforts
that will be Afghan-led and Afghan-own-
ed to pursue the possibility of reconcil-
iation and peace.
On the streets of Afghanistan, the re-
action was cool.
If these actions continue, people will
not like them (the Americans) anymore
and there will be uprising against them,
Mohammad Qayum said in Kabul.

entire matter.
It is unusual for someone to donate
$1 million to the city, Barrett said after
the meeting. The fact that it was con-
cealed raises suspicions.
He said council can request an in-
vestigation of the matter, but he did not
say of he would support that course of
action. At this point, I
dont see any reason to
(investigate), Barrett
said.
He could not explain
why he didnt question
the purchase of the three
fire engines five years ago.
He did not say why he or
any council member at
the time had not asked or
wondered where the mon-
ey came from to buy the
vehicles. The three trucks
were purchased from
KME-Kovach Corp. of Nesquehoning
after a committee composed of city fire-
fighters reviewed proposals and then
recommended the company.
Hirko, who is married to a city fire-
fighter and who lost her bid for city
controller in November to Kathy Kane,
said she has submitted several right-to-
know requests to the city for docu-
ments and information regarding the
purchases. She said a member of the
city administration and the city attor-
neys office told her that no specifica-
tions, bids, contracts or invoices for the
$860,000 cost of the fire engines ex-
ists.
And further, even if they do exist, I
was told I have no right to see them as
the money came from an anonymous
source, Hirko said. So what laws have
you chosen to violate the right-to-
know law, or the city charter?
William Vinsko, assistant city attor-
ney, reading a statement before public
comment was taken at the meeting,
said City Council was not legally re-
quired to vote on the
purchases and the proc-
ess was exempt from bid-
ding. He said council
had no discretionary au-
thority over the pur-
chase of the fire engines.
Council did, Vinsko said,
did vote on the expendi-
ture of the $140,000 bal-
ance of the donation.
Leighton said that
money was used for work
done to the Hollenback
Fire Station. The mayor
said the donation was specific in that
the money could be used only for the
fire department.
Nothing illegal was done here, Vin-
sko said.
Bob Kadluboski, the citys former
towing contractor, tried to ask Vinsko a
question, but he was told to wait to be
called for his turn during the public
comment portion of the meeting. When
that time came, Vinsko had already left
City Hall.
On Wednesday, Melissa Melewsky,
media law counsel for the Pennsylvania
Newspaper Publishers Association, said
the city should have acknowledged the
donation when it was received, and
City Council should have voted on the
disbursement of the money. She said
council may not have been required to
vote on it, but the matter should have
been discussed in public and council
should have been made aware of the
donation and how it would be used.
Mark Robbins of Forty Fort and Ka-
dluboski again raised concerns about
the citys contract with Leo Glodzik and
LAG Towing. Both said LAG charges
exorbitant prices with the blessing of
Leighton and city police Chief Gerard
Dessoye.
Donations are celebrated, Robbins
said of the fire engine issue. Bribes are
kept secret. We know whats going on,
Mr. Mayor.
Sam Troy of Joseph Lane also ques-
tioned the donation and how it was
kept secret.
How could Mr. Barrett have not
known? Troy asked. I agree that an
investigation is called for. Call the audi-
tor general or the FBI.

cuts are expected.
Pribula also presented an op-
tion to use money borrowed in
the past to repay debt, which
would have provided a little
more than $2 million.
The council could also re-
ceive a percentage of up-front
cash in exchange for selling
2011 back-tax liens -- a practice
known as monetization that
has been tapped in the past -- to
generate an additional $2 mil-
lion, Pribula said.
Pribula said he does support
monetization or the use of
bond money because they are
temporary fixes. He has de-
scribed monetization as a cash
advance that comes with fees.
Council agreed with him in a
straw vote, with only two mem-
bers supporting the one-time
options.
Pribula prepares the budget,
but it requires a majority vote
of council to pass. The council
has until Feb. 15 to amend the
budget, though the plan must
be presented sooner because
the countys new home rule
charter requires a public hear-
ing at least seven days after the
amended budget is unveiled.
The council agreed to change
Tuesdays council meeting to
another budget work session
with Pribula.
Pribula gave council a report
breaking down the 56 projected
staff cuts that would have been
expected with the tax increase
option.
The total staff cuts: council/
administration, two; election
bureau, one; assessors, two;
treasurer, one; prison, eight;
probation services, five; deeds,
one; clerk of courts, one; proth-
onotary, one; register of wills,
one; sheriff, three; building and
grounds, two; security, two;
911, three; road and bridge,
two; public defenders, two;
court administration, eight;
magistrate, three; domestic re-
lations, three; court stenogra-
phers, two; and district attor-
ney, three.
Pribula said roughly 25 ter-
minations and resignations are
pending, but layoffs would still
total about 112 without a tax in-
crease.
Revenue in the commission-
er-approved $121.7 million bud-
get had to be reduced $2.8 mil-
lion, Pribula said. That largely
stemmed from the removal of
$2 million commissioners ex-
pected from an expiring
Wilkes-Barre Township tax di-
version program. Pribula said
he has researched relevant doc-
uments and doesnt expect the
county to receive that amount,
and the revenue may not come
in until the start of 2013.
Councilman Stephen A. Ur-
ban did not attend the work ses-
sion.
Council Chairman Jim Bo-
beck did not participate in the
straw poll because he is still re-
searching whether he must ab-
stain from voting on the budget
in light of his fathers employ-
ment at Step By Step Inc.,
which receives county funding.
Council members told Pribu-
la departments should take him
seriously because he has all the
rights of a permanent manager
and may end up acting as man-
ager for up to six months, may-
be permanently.
Councilman Tim McGinley
said departments will have to
live with the budgets they are
given if they dont cut every-
thing nonessential.
Pribula said he told court
branch officials that they had to
reduce expenses, and he got
squat.
They did not play nice,
Pribula said of the courts.
Councilwoman Elaine Mad-
don Curry said council mem-
bers respect the judges and the
services they provide, but they
must propose cuts.
Pribula also presented an op-
tion to handle all tax collection
in-house rather than paying
elected tax collectors about
$800,000. Council members
did not vote on that option, say-
ing they did not believe they
could stop using the 69 elected
tax collectors until their terms
expire.
Several employees attended
the meeting. Budget delibera-
tions were conducted in private
under the commissioner gov-
ernment system, but council
members scheduled the public
work session so everyone had
an opportunity to hear options
presented by Pribula.

Old and young, pro and college, famil-
iar faces and new names Bill OBriens
coaching staff at Penn State has a little
bit of everything.
The program formally announced the
hiring of six members of OBriens staff
on Thursday, with contract details still
being finalized for the last three posi-
tions.
Six days after OBrien was formally
hired to replace Joe Paterno, Penn State
has tabbed Stan Hixon, Larry Johnson,
Charles London, Mac McWhorter, John
Strollo and Ron Vanderlinden to help re-
build the Nittany Lions.
Johnson and Vanderlinden are the on-
ly holdovers from Paternos former staff
and both men will continue to coach de-
fensive linemen and linebackers, respec-
tively.
Hixon was named assistant head
coachandwill work withwide receivers.
London (running backs), McWhorter
(offensive line) and Strollo (tight ends)
will all serve as position coaches.
I said last weekend we were going to
put together thebest staff for PennState,
and I firmly believe we have done that,
OBrien said. It was crucial to get an ex-
perienced, passionate and enthusiastic
staff together quickly so they can hit the
ground running.
Penn State said contract details for a
defensive coordinator, quarterbacks
coachanddefensive backs coachare still
being worked out. Ted Roof, George
Godsey and John Butler are expected to
fill those respective positions.
The Lions will not have a full-time of-
fensive coordinator in 2012, as OBrien
said he will call plays on offense for the
first year.
Full-time staffers being replaced in-
clude Dick Anderson (guards/centers),
Tom Bradley (defensive coordinator/
cornerbacks), Kermit Buggs (safeties),
Galen Hall (offensive coordinator/run-
ning backs), Bill Kavanaugh (wide re-
ceivers), Bill Kenney (tackles/tight
ends), Jay Paterno (quarterbacks) and
Elijah Robinson (assistant defensive
line).
Former receivers coach Mike McQue-
ary remains on indefinite leave. Though
he is still employed by the university, he
does not count towardthe NCAAlimit of
nine assistant coaches.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Se-
lig says he couldnt resist the
pleas of team owners for him to
stay on the job. His wife Sue has
said all along there was no way
her husband would walk away
from the game.
In the end, she was right.
Owners voted 29-1 on Thurs-
day to give Se-
lig a two-year
contract exten-
sion through
the 2014 sea-
son.
Selig has
held the posi-
tion since 1992,
first as interim
commissioner and then as com-
missioner since 1998. He will
turn 80 in July 2014.
If he stays until September
2016, he would surpass Kenesaw
Mountain Landis (1920-44) as
the longest-serving baseball
commissioner.
Ive often said, and I believe
this, for me personally in my life
theres no higher honor than be-
ing the commissioner of base-
ball, Selig said.
Seligs contract had been due
to expire this Dec. 31 and he had
talked of doing some teaching af-
ter leaving the job. But he said he
began hearing lately from own-
ers who wanted him to stay on.
I started hearing a couple of
weeks ago that there was a
groundswell movement to do
this, he said. You cant leave
now. Id hear from various own-
ers.
He said he reached the deci-
sion after thinking about it over
the holidays, although he ac-
knowledged his wife had been
right when she said all along that
he wouldnt be stepping down
this year.
In the end, doing whats in the
best interest of baseball if this
many people believe that and
feel that is something that I
felt I should do, he said.
Asked how he felt to have so
many want him to stay on the
job, Selig said, You cant pay a
human being a better compli-
ment than that. If they really be-
lieve that, Im just grateful. Very,
very grateful.
Owners deferred a vote on the
proposed transfer of the San Die-
go Padres from John Moores to
Jeff Moorad, saying they need
clarification on some financial in-
formation.
Because Seligs extension
wasnt on the agenda for the
meeting, owners took a unani-
mous consent vote to allow its
approval. Moores, upset that the
Padres sale was not approved,
voted no, a person in the room
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because the details
were supposed to remain confi-
dential.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Muham-
mad Alis fists made himfamous,
but his plight as a social activist
was perhaps his biggest fight.
At the Muhammad Ali Center,
visitors see the three-time world
heavyweight champion railing
against war, segregation and
poverty. They also see the softer
sideof amanembracingspiritual
growth.
OnSaturday, the center will be
in the limelight when Ali is sur-
rounded by friends for a private
party celebrating his 70th birth-
day. Having spent more than a
decade raising money to create
and operate the six-story center
in downtown Louisville, Ali and
his wife, Lonnie, are using the
champs latest personal mile-
stone to benefit the 6-year-old
complex.
The party, in a banquet room
offering a sweeping view of the
Ohio River, will double as a
$1,000-per-person fundraiser for
Alis beloved center, where the
boxers words are inscribed
throughout the exhibits.
Australian Ben Physick, who
toured the center with his wife
recently, said he was especially
moved by Alis pronouncement
that he was put on the planet not
to be a great boxer but to fight in-
justice and racism.
It isnt just about boxing, its
about being a better person,
Physick said.
The center traces Alis remark-
able life and the turbulent times
that helped shape one of the
worlds most recognizable fig-
ures. Ali, who is battling Parkin-
sons disease, turns 70 on Tues-

WILKES-BARRE In a game
that was circled on some play-
ers schedules for several weeks,
Alexis Lewis took victory away
from her former teammates.
Lewis stole two passes in the
final 30 seconds and made two
late free throws to cap a15-point
night, giving Holy Redeemer a
57-53 victory in overtime
against Wyoming Valley West in
Wyoming Valley Conference
girls basketball Thursday.
There were a lot of emotions
running high in this game, Re-
deemer coach
Chris Parker
said. I told
them they had
to leave it all
out of the floor
tonight.
In a game
featuring 14 lead changes and
five ties, every play seemed big-
ger than the last. Lewis saved
her best for the final minute,
where she also forced a jump
ball and change of possession
before her late steals. She also
set up Shannon Murrays 3-
pointer with 1:39 remaining in
OT with a nifty kickout pass.
Murrays shot stood as the
winner for the Royals.
To be a freshman, I cant say
enough about that kid, Parker
said of Lewis, who transferred
from Valley West in December
and had to endure a hearing
with the PIAA District 2 Athlet-
ic Committee before she could
play for Redeemer. This game
was very important toher, andit
was very important tothe Valley
West kids.
They all really put on a great
show.
The teams stayed within five
points of each other throughout
thefirst threequarters. But Holy
Redeemer went a 16-6 run in a
four-minute span of the second
half to break the game open.
Julia Wignot sparked the out-
burst witha pair of 3s, andAlana
Wilson (five assists) and Alyssa
Platko (13 points) combined to
set each other up on a trio of
field goals. Platkos little run-
ning hook gave the Royals a 48-
39 lead with five minutes re-
maining.

INDIANAPOLIS NCAA
President Mark Emmert would
like to erase all the tawdry tales
from his first full year in office.
On Thursday, Emmert asked
university leaders to help him
turnthepageona disastrous 2011
that included a child sex abuse
scandal at Penn State that over-
shadowed NCAA violations at a
handful of major football pro-
grams.
Emmert wants to restore some
of college sports core principles
-- choosing education over mon-
ey, amateurism over profession-
alism and abiding by the rules
rather than ignoring them.
What we have todois workto-
gether to act on those values, to
let the world know which fork in
the road weve taken so we dont
have the same story line this year
that we had last year, he told
about 2,000 delegates at the an-
nual convention, just a fewblocks
from the NCAA headquarters. I
knowwe candoit. We candoit in
2012.
For roughly 30 minutes, Em-
mert again expressed frustration
withthe rashof infractions charg-
es, alleged ethical breaches and
possible criminal conduct in
2011.
And Emmert made it perfectly
clear how upset he was by strik-
ing a far different tone Thursday
than he did in his first state of the
association address last year in
San Antonio, Texas.
There, Emmert paraded mod-
el student-athletes across the
stage, a production that even in-
cludedeventual HeismanTrophy
winner Robert Griffin III.
This time, speaking sternly
and with few laugh lines, Em-
mert broadly recounted some of
the most damaging phrases hed
heard: College sports is about

cherko and Cheyenne Reese
willed the Spartans back into
the game. Zdancewicz, who fin-
ished with a game-high 17
points and nine rebounds, had a
layup and a stickback of her
own miss after a steal and hur-
ried shot.
Smicherko drained a 3 from
the right wing to cap an 8-0 Val-
ley West run, and after Redeem-
er extended its lead to 51-47,
she shook Lewis and soared
past two more Royals for a lay-
up with 90 seconds left in the
fourth quarter.
Still down by two, Smicherko
put up a 3 that went in and out.
Reesewonthebattleinthelane,
but missed the stickback in traf-
fic. Her perseverance paid off as
she grabbed her own rebound
and tied the game with 23 sec-
onds in regulation.
We were down but we
didnt fold, Spartans coach
Curt Lloyd said. We calmed
down a little bit (after their
run). The recipe is to get stops
and make some shots. We did
and got back into the game.
The game might have gone
differently if Valley West could
have taken a shot to close the
first half. After a 3-pointer by
Murray, the Spartans led 22-20
and held the ball for the final
shot of the second quarter. As
the clock wound down, the ball
remained on the perimeter and
no shot was ever attempted.
It looked like a couple of
their players lost track of the
clock, Parker said. It just
shows that, in a game like this,
every possession counts.
KateSmicherkohad15points
and five assists for Valley West.
Paige Makowski led Holy Re-
deemer with eight rebounds.

Vest sets record
for Valley West
The Times Leader staff
winning at all costs, its all about
the money, everybody cheats and
the termstudent-athlete is an ox-
ymoron.
Ive heard people say that
there are noethics andnointegri-
ty incollege sports andthe whole
system is broken. But heres the
really bad news. Theres truth in
some of those criticisms, Em-
mert said. What parts of those
stories are true? Sometimes we
have seen behaviors that dont
match our values. We do have
some people that want to win at
all costs. We have some student-
athletes that dont care about get-
ting an education and some that
simply dont get the education
they deserve. The worst thing to
me is that they completely over-
shadowall of thegoodthings that
are going on in intercollegiate
athletics.
The push for change has al-
ready begun.
In October, the Division I
Board of Directors approved
rules giving conferences the op-
tion of paying an additional
$2,000 toward athletes living ex-
penses and multi-year scholar-
ships that could end the practice
of coaches stripping away finan-
cial aid based solely on athletic
performance.
Both rules have become tar-
gets of override measures, and
the board is scheduled to consid-
er modifications Saturday. Em-
mert expects both rules to with-
stand the challenges, though the
stipend could face some modifi-
cations.
The NCAA also has approved
tougher academic standards,
which could lead to postseason
ineligibility. Under the new gui-
delines, last years mens basket-
ball national championConnecti-
cut would have missed the tour-
nament and also is likely to miss
the tourney next year.
Some say the academic re-
forms still are not tough enough.
I dont believe the academic
reforms are anything more than a
P.R. move because there are too
many loopholes in it, said Ohio
University professor David Rid-
path, past president of an NCAA
watchdog called The Drake
Group.
On Wednesday, the Legislative
Council also passed a proposal
that would tighten the definition
of an agent to include third par-
ties. That would eliminate the
loophole that allowed Cam New-
ton to retain his eligibility even
after the NCAAdeterminedNew-
tons father attemptedto shophis
sons services.
The rule could be approved
Saturday.
I think its a great start, he
said. It will gotothe board, andI
think theyll put in place, and
well see if we get the change we
want. If not, well change it.
Its only a start.
On Friday, the NCAA has
carved out a three-hour session
to brief delegates about tougher
penalties for infractions, a three-
tiered new penalty structure, a
quicker enforcement process and
the rewriting of the massive 400-
plus page rulebook.

Austin Hollins scored a career-
high 18 points to help Minneso-
ta beat No. 7 Indiana 77-74 on
Thursday night.
Indianas Christian Watford
could have tied the score but he
missed a 3-pointer in the closing
seconds.
Rodney Williams scored 14
points and Julian Welch added
10 for the Golden Gophers (13-5,
1-4 Big Ten), who had lost four
straight. Minnesota shot 6 of 13
on 3-pointers in the first half to
take the lead, then maintained it
by scoring in the paint and
grabbing 12 offensive rebounds
in the second half.
Indiana freshman Cody Zeller
matched a season high with 23
points for the Hoosiers (15-2,
3-2). Jordan Hulls scored 13,
Will Sheehey 12 and Victor
Oladipo 10 for Indiana, which
had won three straight.
The Hoosiers were 11-0 at
home, including victories over
then-No. 1 Kentucky and then-
No. 2 Ohio State.
Minnesota had been close in
three of its four Big Ten losses.
The Gophers lost in overtime at
Illinois, by five at Michigan and
by two at home against Iowa.
Minnesota seemingly had
Thursdays game under control
with a six-point lead and the ball
in the final minute. But Zeller
stole the inbounds pass, and a
three-point play by Oladipo cut
Minnesotas lead to 71-68 with
40 seconds to play.
Minnesotas Joe Coleman
calmly sank two free throws
with 39 seconds remaining
before Sheehey drained a 3-
pointer at the other end to cut
Minnesotas lead to 73-71 with
30 seconds left.
Coleman was fouled with 28.6

both foul shots.

State is one of three undefeated
teams in Division I, joining No.
1 Syracuse and No. 4 Baylor.
Brian Williams led Jackson-

The Gamecocks (6-13, 1-5)
never led in the first half and
Murray State went into the
break up by three after shooting
34.8 percent.
With 5 minutes remaining,
Murray State opened a 13-point
margin and pulled away. Fans
began chanting Undefeated!

The Ali Center is a vessel
for sharing Muhammads lega-
cy and championing his social
significance, Lonnie Ali said
Thursday in a statement to
The Associated Press. The
center empowers people es-
pecially youth to create
transformational change in the
world.
Born as Cassius Marcellus
Clay Jr. on Jan. 17, 1942, he
grew up in a predominantly
black West End neighborhood
of Louisville.
He took up boxing at age 12,
later becoming a top amateur
boxer and Olympic gold med-
alist.
Ali, raisedinaBaptist family,
announced his conversion to
the Muslimfaith soon after de-
feating Sonny Liston in1964 to
win the heavyweight crown for
the first time. He moved to
Miami in the early 1960s but
kept his close ties toLouisville,
where he has a home today.
The Alis also have homes in
Michigan and Arizona.
The center showcases Alis
grace and power as a boxer
with video replays of his most
famous bouts and plenty of
memorabilia, including a
rhinestone-studded boxing
robe, a gift from Elvis Presley.
Visitors canalso shadowbox,
punch a speed bag and lean in-
to a heavy bag that lets them
feel the power of an Ali punch.
The center focuses on Alis
causes outside boxing with a
series of video, photograph
and text displays. Ali envisions
the center as a place to pro-
mote world understanding and
peace.
His legacy reaches so far be-
yond the ring, said Jeanie
Kahnke, a center spokeswo-
man.
Though largely absent from
the public eye now, Ali remains
a powerful symbolic figure.
Last year, Ali, along with other
high-profile political dignitar-
ies, backed efforts to free two
American hikers held captive
for more than two years in an
Iranianprison. Thehikers were
eventually released.
The center, built around the
accomplishments of someone
who calledhimself The Great-
est, encourages visitors to re-
ach their own potential by pro-
moting six core values: re-
spect, confidence, conviction,
dedication, giving and spiritu-
ality.
That message still resonates
today, Alis wife said.
Muhammad and I always
envisioned an organization
that would use Muhammads
life as a model to encourage
people everywhere to keep
their eyes onthe prize, towork
hard to reach their potential
and to achieve their dreams,
Lonnie Ali said.
MuhammadAlis social com-
mentary is woven into the dis-
plays.
There are lots of moments
when you sort of get chills,
said Physick, the Australian.
One display revives painful
memories of segregation. It
features a lunch counter and a
gruff voice tomimic the experi-
ence of blacks who were de-
nied seats. Ali was refused ser-
vice at a Louisville restaurant
after he returned home as a
gold medal winner in the 1960
Olympics.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Na-
tional champion Alabama will
once again try to keep rolling af-
ter losingthreeunderclassmento
the NFL draft.
All-Americans Trent Richard-
son, Donta Hightower and Dre
Kirkpatrick said Thursday
theyre leaving school to start pro
careers, three days after helping
the Crimson Tide to its second
national title of their careers.
To leave a legacy like me and
Dre have left here, tohave twona-
tional championships in three
years, I think thats pretty big for
us and our family and for the Uni-
versity of Alabama, said Ri-
chardson, a Heisman Trophy fi-
nalist and Doak Walker Award
winner as the nations top run-
ning back.
Richardson and Kirkpatrick, a
cornerback, attendeda news con-
ference announcing their deci-
sions, while middle linebacker
Hightower issued a statement af-
terward.
Richardson and Kirkpatrick
are both projected as potential
top 10 picks and Hightower is al-
so regarded as a potential first-
rounder.
Alabama had a school-record
four first-round selections last
year, including underclassmen
Marcell Dareus, Julio Jones and
Mark Ingram. The Tide came
back and went 12-1, moving to
36-4 over the past three years.
Richardson set school single-
season rushing records with
1,679 yards and21touchdowns in
his lone seasonas a fulltime start-
er after running behind the 2009
Heisman winner Ingram.
He and Hightower were first-
team AP All-America selections
while Kirkpatrick was a second-
teamer.
The Tide beat LSU 21-0 in
Monday nights national title
game when the nations top de-
fense yielded only 92 total yards.
Richardson ran for 96 yards
andscoredthegames onlytouch-
down in the fourth quarter after
topping 100 as a freshman in the
first title game against Texas.
Richardson said he wanted to
be able to take care of his mother
who he says has Lupus and
still works at a seafoodrestaurant
and two young daughters.
It really took a toll on me to
make sure my momma doesnt
have to work anymore or my
grandma, said Richardson, who
lost two aunts to cancer in the
last year. His grandmother had
retired, but returned to driving a
school bus.
Richardson said he made the
decision Wednesday night after
sitting down with his uncle and
brothers. He went home to Pen-
sacola, Fla., from the national
championship game in New Or-
leans to discuss his future with
family.
Richardson said he received
motivation from a childhood in a
tough neighborhood where he
lost quite a few friends to early
deaths, drugs or prison.
This place has changed my
life, Richardson said. It really
turned me from a teenager to a
man, and a grown man at that.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. Sergei
Bobrovsky stopped 33 shots,
and the Philadelphia Flyers
beat the New York Islanders for
the 26th time in 28 games, 3-2
on Thursday night.
Scott Hartnell, Wayne Sim-
monds and Sean Couturier
scored for the Flyers (26-12-4),
who moved within two points
of the Atlantic Division-leading
New York Rangers. Kyle Ok-
poso and John Tavares scored
for the Islanders.
The Flyers (26-12-4) have
won 12 of 13 on Long Island
during their dominant run
against the Islanders. New York
(15-20-6) had won three
straight at home, including a
5-1 victory over Detroit on
Tuesday.
Bobrovsky stopped Michael
Grabner on a penalty shot 2:49
in and made a spectacular glove
save on the Islanders right wing
late in the second. The 23-year-
old Russian has tormented the
Islanders since joining the
Flyers before last season. Bo-
brovsky (10-3-1) is 7-0 against
New York.
Hartnells power-play goal at
17:20 of the first period put
Philadelphia ahead after Islan-
ders goalie Evgeni Nabokov was
whistled for tripping. Hartnells
19th of the season came on a
pass from Jaromir Jagr, who
has more points against the
Islanders than any team during
his 19-year NHL career.
Simmonds banked a shot off
of Nabokovs skate at 13:08 of
the second for his 11th of the
season after Nabokov fumbled
the puck behind the net and
had trouble getting back into
position in the crease. Nabokov
is still one win shy of 300 in the
NHL.
Okposo ruined Bobrovskys
bid for his first career shutout
22 seconds into the third when
he knocked in the rebound of a
shot by Andrew MacDonald for
his 10th goal.
Tavares scored with 17 sec-
onds left to make it 3-2 after
Couturier netted his eighth of
the season to give Philadelphia
a two-goal lead with 1:30 re-
maining.
Tavares assist on Okposos
goal extended his point streak
to a career-best seven games.
Tavares, selected earlier Thurs-
day to play in his first NHL
All-Star game, has four goals
and 10 assists during the spurt.
Bruins 2, Canadiens 1
BOSTON Jordan Caron
and Milan Lucic scored, and
Tim Thomas stopped 33 shots
to lead the Boston Bruins to a
2-1 victory over the Montreal
Canadiens.
Carey Price made 28 saves
for Montreal, which lost to
Boston for the third straight
time and fell to 3-8 since Randy
Cunneyworth took over as
coach.
Yannick Weber scored for the
Canadiens.
Montreal won the first two
matchups against the defending
Stanley Cup champions, win-
ning home-and-home games at
the end of October. But since
then the Bruins have won 25 of
30 games.
The game lacked the usual
intensity of a matchup between
the Original Six rivals to the
point where the crowd decided
to entertain itself in the third
period with derogatory chants
about Tim Tebow, the Denver
Broncos quarterback who will
face the New England Patriots
on Saturday.
Senators 3, Rangers 0
NEW YORK Craig An-
derson made 34 saves for his
first shutout of the season,
Jason Spezza scored twice, and
the Ottawa Senators beat the
surging New York Rangers.
Milan Michalek also scored
for the Senators, who have won
five straight at Madison Square
Garden and seven of eight there
(7-0-1).
New York (27-10-4), which
entered with the most points in
the NHL, had won five straight
and 10 of 11.
Hurricanes 5, Lightning 2
TAMPA, Fla. Jiri Tlusty
had two goals and an assist,
Tuomo Ruutu added a goal and
two assists, and the Carolina
Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Tlusty scored twice during
Carolinas four-goal first, help-
ing the Hurricanes take a 4-1
lead.
Red Wings 3, Coyotes 2
DETROIT Pavel Datsyuk
and Henrik Zetterberg scored
in the shootout, and the Detroit
Red Wings beat the Phoenix
Coyotes for their 13th straight
home win.
Valtteri Filppula, Johan Fran-
zen scored in regulation for
Detroit, which moved within
one home of matching the
teams best streak. Jimmy Ho-
ward stopped 25 shots to earn
his 100th career NHL win.
Canucks 3, Blues 2
ST. LOUIS Daniel Sedin
scored a power-play goal 46
seconds into overtime to give
the Vancouver Canucks a victo-
ry over the St. Louis Blues in a
matchup for first place in the
Western Conference.
Alexandre Burrows had two
goals and drew the decisive
penalty for the Canucks, who
have an NHL-best 59 points
three more than St. Louis.
David Backes was whistled for
boarding with 19.9 seconds to
go in regulation, and the Blues
were in disarray in overtime
after defenseman Roman Polak
broke his stick shortly before
Sedin beat Brian Elliott from
the right faceoff dot..
Jason Arnott scored both
goals for the Blues, who lead
the Central Division by a point
despite the end of a four-game
winning streak.
Snow and icy conditions
likely prevented a sellout with
attendance of 18,231 less than
1,000 shy of capacity.
Predators 3, Avalanche 2
NASHVILLE, Tenn. David
Legwand scored his second
goal of the game at 4:26 of
overtime, and the Nashville
Predators rallied from a two-
goal first-period deficit in beat-
ing the Colorado Avalanche.
Legwand scored the winner
on a rebound of his own shot.
The Predators have won
seven straight over Colorado
and nine of 10 overall in the
series dating back to Feb. 4,
2010.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Rudy
Gay scored a season-high 26
points and the Memphis Griz-
zlies beat New York 94-83 on
Thursday night to end the
Knicks winning streak at four
games.
The Knicks played most of
the second half without scoring
leader Carmelo Anthony after
he sprained his right ankle early
in the third period. He didnt
return and X-rays were negative.
Gay made 11 of 16 shots to
help the Grizzlies snap a three-
game losing streak and improve
to 4-6. O.J. Mayo scored 18
points, also a season high, on
7-of-12 shooting and had eight
rebounds. Tony Allen added 12
points, and Marc Gasol had 10
points and 12 rebounds.
Anthony and Bill Walker each
scored 14 points to lead the
Knicks (6-5). Rookie guard Iman
Shumpert had 12 points, but
was 5 of 20 from the field.
Amare Stoudemire, saddled
with foul problems early, scored
a season-low six points, convert-
ing only one of his seven shots.
New York set a season low with
its 83 points.
Bucks 102, Pistons 93
MILWAUKEE Brandon
Jennings scored 27 points and
Stephen Jackson added 25 to
help the Milwaukee Bucks beat
the Detroit Pistons.
The Bucks improved to 4-0 at
home and 4-6 overall, while the
Pistons dropped to 2-9 with
their sixth straight loss and fifth
in a row on the road. Detroit last
lost six straight from March
13-April 3, 2010.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles
became the 39th coach in NBA
history to reach 400 victories.
He is 400-388.
A game after scoring a season-
high 34 points, Jackson was 9 of
17 from the field, and had six
rebounds and six assists. Rookie
Jon Leuer, making his first start
for the Bucks, added 15 points
and six rebounds.
Hawks 111, Bobcats 81
ATLANTA Josh Smith
scored 30 points, Joe Johnson
added 23 and the Atlanta Hawks
won their first game without
All-Star center Al Horford, rout-
ing the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Hawks learned earlier in
the day that Horford, a leader
on and off the court, will miss at
least three months after tearing
the pectoral muscle in his left
shoulder going for a rebound
the previous night at Indiana.
Knowing theyll be expected
to take on an even larger load
without Horford, Smith and
Johnson came through big time
against the hapless Bobcats,
who lost their fifth in a row and
dropped to 2-9. The Hawks
dominated on the boards, ou-
trebounding Charlotte 55-30.

Pittsburgh mayor selling
Tebow jersey for charity
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh Mayor
Luke Ravenstahl is trying to turn the
Steelers playoff loss to the Denver
Broncos into a win for city school stu-
dents.
Ravenstahl is selling a Tim Tebow
jersey he wore Tuesday while striking a
prayerful, one-kneed pose known as
Tebowing made popular by the
Broncos quarterback. Ravenstahl Te-
bowed in front of news photographers
to settle a bet with Denver Mayor Mi-
chael Hancock on Sundays playoff
game, which the Broncos won 29-23.
Ravenstahl has signed the jersey and
any money raised by the eBay auction
will be donated to the Pittsburgh Prom-

JETS
Owner defends QB,
understands frustrations
NEW YORK Jets owner Woody
Johnson defends embattled quarter-
back Mark Sanchezs work ethic and
says he thinks everybodys a little
frustrated after the team failed to
make the playoffs.
Johnson, appearing on MSNBC on
Thursday to discuss his support of Mitt
Romneys presidential campaign, says a
Daily News report in which an anony-
mous player said Sanchez was lazy is
off base. Hes the first guy in the build-
ing every morning, he said, and the
last guy to leave.
Its the first time Johnson has com-
mented publicly since Rex Ryans team
finished 8-8 and out of the postseason
for the first time in three years.
There is frustration, Johnson said,
and thats what you want. He adds
that the Jets have a lot of work to do
to turn things around next season.
LIONS
GM set for most
challenging offseason
ALLEN PARK, Mich. Detroit
Lions general manager Martin Mayhew
says this offseason will probably be his
most challenging since he started mak-
ing football decisions for the franchise.
Mayhew met with reporters Thurs-
day, less than a week after Detroits
season ended with a loss at New Or-
leans in an NFC wild-card game.
His hopes to sign All-Pro receiver
Calvin Johnson and coach Jim
Schwartz to contract extensions. He
also wants to re-sign offensive tackle
Jeff Backus, defensive end Cliff Avril,
linebacker Stephen Tulloch and backup
quarterback Shaun Hill.
The Lions won 10 games in May-
hews third full season after winning
eight games combined the previous
two years.
TEXANS
Raven linebacker Lewis is
a fan of RB Foster
HOUSTON Arian Foster was in
his first season as a starter for Houston
in 2010 when the Texans hosted the
Ravens.
When Baltimore linebacker Ray
Lewis grabbed the running back after a
play, he didnt know what to expect.
Turns out Lewis had become a fan and
told Foster he loved the way he played.
Then he told him he had a very, very
bright future.
Since then the pair have become
friends, though that bond will be put
aside Sunday when the Ravens and
Texans meet in an AFC divisional play-
off game. The 36-year-old Lewis says
he likes to help out young players and
he will do whatever I can for the
25-year-old Foster.

wild card playoff game.
GREEN BAY, Wis. For the Green
Bay Packers, Sundays playoff game
against the New York Giants brings up
not-so-fond memories of Brett Favres
interception in overtime that led to an
NFC title game loss four years ago.
With Aaron Rodgers under center for
the Packers ever since, that deflating
feeling of watching a quarterback give
away the game with a bad decision or
wildthrowremains just that a memo-
ry.
Much is made of the idea that Rodg-
ers had three years on the bench behind
Favre to learn how to play quarterback
in the NFL. For all of Favres brilliant
plays and big moments, wide receiver
Greg Jennings thinks its possible that
Rodgers spent some of that time learn-
ing what not to do.
Its like, Im not going to do that
when I get in that position, Jennings
said. Without him ever even saying
that, you know that crosses your mind:
Im going to make that play when I get
my opportunity. Im not going to make
THAT play when I get my chance.
Rodgers doesnt trace his distaste for
turnovers back to that frigid NFCcham-
pionship game against the Giants
That game, I was just trying to stay
warm most of the time, he joked or
any other moment he spent behind
Favre.
Instead, Rodgers said it goes back to
his days at Pleasant Valley High School
in Chico, Calif.
I mean, thats No. 1, it really is re-
ally going back to my freshman year of
highschool, whenI actually threwmore
interceptions than touchdowns, Rodg-
ers said. Just making a conscious deci-
sion to be smart with the football. Since
then, I havent had any of those years.
Four years into his tenure as the Pack-
ers starter, Rodgers has established
himself as an elite quarterback, a Super
Bowl MVPwhocanmakeall thethrows,
dodge pressure with his feet and gener-
ally light up scoreboards.
His most impressivetrait might behis
uncanny knack for avoiding big mis-
takes.
In 502 passing attempts this season,
Rodgers completed 68.3 percent of his
passes for 4,643 yards with 45 touch-
downs and six six! interceptions.
His decision-making is second to
none, Jennings said. Hes sosmart and
hes so aware of the situation, down and
distance, where we are in the game,
what play he needs to try to make
andwhat play, Hmm, I dont needto try
to force this.
After watching Rodgers march the
Packers to a game-winning field goal in
a 38-35 victory on Dec. 4, the Giants
know what theyre in for Sunday.
He has great velocity on the ball, he
has great accuracy and good vision, Gi-
ants coach TomCoughlin said. He sees
people from the corner of his eye. He
moves theball aroundandhas largecon-
tributions from a whole bunch of play-
ers so the distribution of the ball is han-
dled very, very well.
Withwinter finally makinganappear-
ance in Green Bay this week, Rodgers
said he doesnt expect cold or snow to
hurt his game.
I dont know what everybody else is
feeling, Im kind of hoping for 10 or 15
degrees on Sunday, Rodgers said.
Rodgers packs plenty of poise
Green Bay quarterback learned the
importance of limiting mistakes as a
freshman in high school.

SANTACLARA, Calif. Cen-
ter Jonathan Goodwin has been
going around San Franciscos
locker room offering bits of vet-
eraninsight here andthere. Play-
off knowledge, Saints knowl-
edge.
The NFC West champion
49ers have eight players who
have been to
the postsea-
son previ-
ously. The
New Or-
leans
Saints? A
whopping
39 before
their victory
over Detroit
last weekend.
I think some of the guys who
didnt get a chance to go to the
playoffs in the past, theyre hun-
gry, 49ers tight end Vernon Da-
vis said. Theyrereallyhungry. I
dont know what its going to be
like, I just know Im playing in
the playoffs. I try not to get too
excited because I want to keep
myself under control.
Thats where Goodwin comes
in.
Among the key offseason ac-
quisitions for San Francisco,
Goodwin is one of those playoff-
testedguys for the Niners (13-3).
He won a Super Bowl ring with
the Saints two years ago.
Should be pretty fun, Good-
win said. Hopefully my experi-
ences seeing that defense a lot
during training camp and some-
times during the season will be
valuable.
When the 49ers head into
their first postseason appear-
ance in nine years Saturday af-
ternoon against Drew Brees and
the high-powered Saints (14-3),
quarterback and2005 No. 1draft
pick Alex Smith will be just one
of many San Francisco regulars
making postseason debuts and
taking their most significant
steps yet onto the NFLs big
stage.
Of the eight 49ers who have
been to the postseason before,
one is little-used wide receiver
Brett Swain, another is long
snapper Brian Jennings and also
record-setting kicker David Ak-
ers.
Jennings is the only player
still around fromthe 49ers 2002
playoff season, when San Fran-
cisco rallied to stun the New
York Giants 39-38 in their NFC
wild-card game.
What a difference from the
dominating Saints, with almost
anentire roster of menwho have
played such important games
before this year.

(FOX)
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady
is on his usual late-season roll. Hed just
like to stop his recent playoff slide.
The quarterback with tunnel vision, fo-
cusing on the next practice and the next
game, is on an eight-game winning
streak. That may be a better sign of how
his next one will go than his three-game
postseason losing streak.
A win on Saturday night would send
Brady and the New England Patriots to
the AFCchampionship game and end the
Tebowmania season of the Denver Bron-
cos.
Preparing for the upcoming game is all
Brady cares about.
I havent thought about anything
about last year or last week, he said be-
fore practice this week. Im trying to
think about today.
Before last weeks bye, the Patriots
(13-3) scored 49 straight points and beat
the Buffalo Bills 49-21. During the win-
ning streak, Brady has thrown for 19
touchdowns and just two interceptions.
An acknowledged plodder, hes even run
for three touchdowns in his last three
games.
In the last four regular-season games
over his 10 seasons as a starter, he is 34-6.
Bradys success has made an impres-
sion on Tebow.
He can learn, Tebow said, from being
able to watch a quarterback like that
howhe handles himself, the emotionthat
he plays with but at the same time the
calmness that heplays with, theaccuracy,
the leadership, the way he motivates his
players, the way he gets in and out of
great plays, the way hes able to handle
any situation.
Except, lately, the playoffs.
Brady won his first 10 postseason
games and three Super Bowls. He was
14-2 before having a drastic reversal with
three consecutive losses 17-14 to the
NewYork Giants inthe Super Bowl of the
2007 season, 33-14 to the Baltimore Rav-
ens two years ago and 28-21 to the New
York Jets last year. Those last two were at
home.
Howlong did it take for himto get over
the loss to the Jets?
I dont know, Brady said. I dont re-
member.
Other Patriots havent forgotten the
post-season slide.
It sits in all of our minds for the guys
that have been here and been a part of
that, tackle Matt Light said. You work
that much, you put that much time into a
season, you have success to a degree dur-
ing the regular season and then you go
out and you cant get it done in the post-
season. Thats a difficult thing to swal-
low.
The Broncos (9-8) want to make that
even tougher.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. Matt Birk
made his debut in the NFL as part of a
Minnesota Vikings team that went 15-1.
Minnesota reached the playoffs in each of
the next two seasons, too.
Although the Vikings never made it to
the Super Bowl during that span, Birk fig-
uredit was onlya matter of timebeforehe
would be fitted for a Super Bowl ring.
Now the starting center for the Balti-
more Ravens, Birk is 35 years old and in
15th NFL season. Hes still waiting for a
chance to part of pro footballs biggest
spectacle.
Two out of my first three years in the
league I went to the NFC championship
game, Birksaid. At that time, I probably
didnt know what it meant or just how
precious is was. And I havent been back
since.
Birk is one of 35 players on Baltimores
53-man roster to have participated in an
NFL playoff game. Only one, middle line-
backer Ray Lewis, owns a Super Bowl
ring.
For many of the Ravens veterans, this
postseason run could represent their last
chance to win a championship. Although
Baltimore has reached the playoffs in
each of the last four seasons, this team
just might be the best of them all.
After winning the AFC North and go-
ing12-4, the Ravens enter Sundays home
game against Houston (11-6) as the No. 2
seed in the conference. With a victory,
Baltimore will move withinone victoryof
booking a trip to Indianapolis for the Su-
per Bowl.
This is probably my best shot at it,
Birk said. My first year we were 15-1.
That teamand this teamare the two best
Ive ever been on. The last three years
weve beenkindof buildingtothis point. I
think weve gotten better each year.
Somebody my age, I realize this is prob-
ably my last and best shot at it.
Ravens safety Ed Reed joined the Rav-
ens in 2002. Hes received eight Pro Bowl
nominations includingone this season
and has played in nine postseason
games. But hes still waiting to experi-
ence the thrill of playing in the Super
Bowl.
He isnt getting younger, either. Reed
no longer finds the trip to Hawaii for the
leagues all-star game to be worth the
bother.
I couldnt tell you the last time Ive
been to the Pro Bowl, he said.
Lewis has the ring. Mostly, though, he
wants his teammates to understand just
how special it is to own one.
Thats what its all about. You see
these young kids that come in this busi-
ness, and they dont really understand
how hard it is to win a Super Bowl, Le-
wis said.

Drew Hixon suffered a
life-threatening injury as
a receiver at Tennessee
Tech following a collision
in a game with South
Florida in 2004, leaving
him in a coma for nearly
a month. Coached five
seasons with OBrien at
Georgia Tech.
In-depth: Hixon gives
the Lions something
they havent had in sev-
eral years a receivers
coach who actually
played receiver. Hixon
wasnt a star in his play-
ing days (49 catches for
821 yards and three
touchdowns at Iowa
State), but he is well-
respected as a coach. At
the height of his career
in the college ranks, he
was an associate head
coach under Nick Saban
at LSU. He placed eight
receivers into the pros,
including 2001 Biletnikoff
winner Josh Reed, and
helped the Tigers win
the national champion-
ship in 2003. That led to
opportunities in the NFL,
where he spent the past
eight years. In Washing-
ton, Santana Moss went
to the Pro Bowl in his
first season with the
Redskins under Hixon. In
Buffalo, Hixon has been
lauded for his devel-
opment of a group of
wideouts with low pedi-
grees, including Stevie
Johnson (seventh

(undrafted) and Donald
Jones (undrafted).

yards in the 2002 sea-
son, finishing third in
Heisman voting and
having a brief reign as
one of the NFLs top
running backs with the
Kansas City Chiefs.
In-depth: Bill OBrien
was upstaged at his own
introductory press con-
ference. The applause
from alumni and donors
on that day was loudest
when it was announced
Johnson would be stay-
ing with the Lions. And
for good reason. Needi-
ng a bridge between the
old and new staff, John-
son was the slam-dunk
choice for OBrien to
interview first and offer
a job. Known as PSUs
top recruiter in recent
years, Johnson also has
produced NFL-caliber
linemen. Nine of his
charges have been draft-
ed, with six going in the
first round. Devon Still
has a good shot to be
the seventh this spring.
So its no surprise John-
son is beloved by his
players. When asked
what Penn State would
lose if Johnson were not
retained, Still replied
simply, Everything.

(2004-05)
Playing experience: RB,
Duke (1994-96)
Personal: Native of

Coached with OBrien at
Duke in 2005-06.
Most recently worked for
another potential Penn
State coaching candi-
date with the Titans in
Scranton legend and
PSU alum Mike Munchak.
Also was a sprinter on
the Blue Devils track
team in college.
Worked for the Patriots
before OBrien arrived
there as director of sta-
dium operations.
In-depth: Arguably the
biggest unknown on the
new staff, Londons ca-
reer got a boost through
the NFLs minority in-
ternship program, get-
ting to work with the
Patriots in 2005. That
got the former Blue
Devil his foot in the door
to work with the Bears,
Eagles and finally, Mun-
chak and the Titans. This
will certainly be his high-
est-profile job, and the
drop-off in experience
from his predecessor,
Galen Hall who had
coached Emmitt Smith
at Florida and Heisman
winner Billy Sims at
Oklahoma is sizable.

Coached with OBrien at
Georgia Tech in 2000-01.
Served as head coach
for Tech for one game,
winning the 2001 Seattle
Bowl following the de-
parture of George OLe-
ary.
In-depth: An intriguing
and experienced hire,
McWhorter has a deco-
rated 31-year career as a
coach, highlighted by his
stint as Mack Browns
top aide at Texas. He
won the 2005 national
title with the Longhorns
and was named national
assistant coach of the
year by his peers in
2008. But when the
Longhorns stumbled to a
5-7 record in 2010,
McWhorter retired and
was one of a handful of
assistants to leave the
program on a low note.
He spent 2011 out of
coaching before being
brought back by OBrien.
Though his accomplish-
ments tailed off toward
the end of his tenure,
McWhorter is a highly
respected coach who
has worked for many of
the countrys most
prominent programs.
JOHN STROLLO

sive coordinator/offen-
sive line (2001-03); La-
fayette, offensive line/

Massachusetts, offen-
sive line/tight ends (1991-
95); Northeastern,

(1985-90), offensive line
(1984), offensive assist-
ant (1981-82); Washburn,
offensive assistant
(1983); Springfield,
graduate assistant
(1980); Middletown
South (N.J.) H.S., as-
sistant coach (1977-79)
Boston College (1972-75)
Personal: Native of Long
Branch, N.J. Wife,
Janet; Daughters, Katie,
Emily. Coached with
OBrien at Duke in 2006,
with both serving under
head coach Ted Roof, the
prospective new defen-
sive coordinator for the
Lions. Random local
tie-in: Strollo coached
with long-time former
Kings coach Rich Man-
nello at Northeastern in
1989 and 1990.
In-depth: Another life-
long coach, Strollo has
spent 31 seasons in the
profession, though only
four of them have been
at the FBS level three
at Duke and this past
season at Ball State.
Working almost exclu-
sively with offensive
linemen and tight ends
in that time, Strollo will
take over for Bill Kenney,
who had worked with
tackles and tight ends
for the past dozen sea-
sons. A hallmark of the
Patriots offense this
season with OBrien as
the coordinator has
been an emphasis on
tight ends as receivers,
so its understandable
OBrien would dedicate a
coach solely to the posi-
tion.
RON
VANDERLINDEN
Linebackers coach
Age: 56
Coaching resume: Penn
State, co-defensive
coordinator (2011), line-
backers (2001-11); Mary-
land, head coach (1997-
2000); Northwestern,
assistant head coach/
defensive coordinator/
linebackers (1992-96);
Colorado, defensive
tackles (1983-91); Ball
State, offensive line
(1981-83); Michigan,

80); Bowling Green,
graduate assistant (1978)
Albion College (1974-77)
Personal: Native of
Livonia, Mich. Wife,
Lisa; Daughter, Chelsea;
Son, Reid. Won a na-
tional title as an assist-
ant at Colorado in 1990.
Coached current
Northwestern coach Pat
Fitzgerald to two Bed-
narik Awards.
In-depth: Though Larry
Johnson was the first to
interview with OBrien to
stay on staff, Vanderlin-
den was a close second.
The former Terrapins
head coach has over-
seen a continued high
level of play at Line-
backer U and, like John-
son, thoroughly enjoys
his job as a position
coach. Penn State line-
backers have enjoyed a
renaissance in the NFL
as of late with Vanderlin-
den protgs like Sean
Lee, Navorro Bowman
and Paul Posluszny mak-
ing impacts as starters.
What will be interesting
to see is how he meshes
with prospective new
defensive coordinator
Ted Roof, who runs a
more aggressive scheme
than his predecessor,
Tom Bradley. At some of
Roofs previous stops as
a defensive coordinator,
he favored much more
blitzing than the Lions
are used to. While there
will necessarily be some
adjustments to be made,
Vanderlindens long and
successful history as a
defensive coach sug-
gests he will be up to the
task.
PENN STATE ASSI STANT COACHES
Sixty-four days after Penn
States board of trustees voted to
fire Joe Paterno, the group re-
leased a statement Thursday ex-
plaining its actions.
Paterno, inthemidst of his 46th
season as head football coach and
62nd overall at the school, was
fired Nov. 9 as Penn State became
embroiled in the Jerry Sandusky
scandal.
Giventhe nature of the serious
allegations contained in the
Grand Jury Report and the ex-
traordinary circumstances then
facing the University, the Boards
unanimous judgment was that
Coach Paterno could not be ex-
pected to continue to effectively
performhis duties and that it was
in the best interests of the Univer-
sitytomakeanimmediatechange
in his status, the board said in a
statement from
chair Steve Gar-
ban and vice-
chairman John
Surma.
The state-
ment came less
than 24 hours
after Penn State
President Rodney Erickson host-
ed a town hall meeting in Pitts-
burgh that generated several
questions from alumni and do-
nors about Paternos firing.
Surma hadfieldedquestions on
the night of Nov. 9 at a chaotic,
hastily assembled news confer-
ence, announcing the ousting of
Paterno and Graham Spanier, the
university president.
When asked multiple times for
rationale behind the removal of
Paterno, Surma responded that it
was in the best interest of the
university, but did not elaborate.
Thursdays statement provided
fewother details.
According to the board, Pater-
no is being treated as if he retired
at the end of 2011 season and re-
mains employedby the university
as a tenured faculty member. The
school will publicize the details of
hisretirement whentheyarefinal-
ized.
Paternos son Scott responded
Thursday, speakingonhis fathers
behalf.
As has become apparent, the
termination on November 9, with
no notice or hearing, was not han-
dled well, Scott Paterno said in a
statement to The Associated
Press. Joe Paterno has reiterated
from the beginning that the first
priorityinthis crisis is toservethe
best interests of the victims. He
believes stronglythat everyonein-
volved is entitled to due process.
Since being fired, Joe Paterno
has spoken only through state-
ments issued by his family and at-
torney. It was revealed a week lat-
er that Paterno, 85, hadbeendiag-
nosed with lung cancer.
The controversy began Nov. 5
with the arrest of Sandusky. The
long-time Paterno assistant was
initially chargedwith40 counts of
sexual abuse of children. The for-
mer defensive coordinator now
faces52chargesagainst12alleged
victims.
Sandusky pleaded not guilty to
all counts in December, waiving
his preliminary hearing.
According to the grand jury re-
port, one of the alleged assaults
occurred at the football teams
Lasch Building headquarters in
2002 and was witnessed by for-
merPennStateaideMikeMcQue-
ary. Then a graduate assistant,
McQuearytalkedtoPaterno, who
in turn met with two senior Penn
State administrators, Tim Curley
and Gary Schultz.
Curley and Schultz are charged
withlyingtothegrandjury, which
deemed their testimonies were
not credible against McQuearys.
Both men pleaded not guilty to
counts of perjury and failure to re-
port abuse of minors in Decem-
ber.
Paternohadbeenset toaddress
the situation on Nov. 8, but his
regularly scheduled weekly press
conference was abruptly can-
celed.
With public scrutiny intensify-
ing, Paterno announced the next
morning he would retire at the
end of the season, saying that, in
hindsight, he wished he had done
more to bring allegations against
Sanduskytolight. Healsosaidthe
board of trustees should not
waste one minute discussing his
fate as the university was beset by
scandal.
Nearly12 hours later, the board
fired him, appointing Tom Bra-
dley interimhead coach. NewEn-
gland Patriots assistant Bill
OBrien was hired as the full-time
replacement last week after a
lengthy search.
Scott Paternosaidhis father be-
lieves that theensuingwholesale
attack on the football program
and Penn States academic record
is unjustified.
This is a crisis that deserves
thoughtful and thorough review,
Scott Paterno said. In the course
of that review and analysis, how-
ever, the legitimate achievements
of this University and the many
good people who worked so hard
to build it into a world class insti-
tutionshouldnot bedisrespected.
My parents are unwavering in
their loyalty and dedication to
Penn State.

KING OF PRUSSIA A plan
designed to soothe angry Penn
State University alumni may in-
stead be sowing seeds of outrage.
School President Rodney Er-
ickson appeared Thursday night
at a hotel near Philadelphia for
the second of three town hall
events aimed at repairing the
schools image, but the 650 alum-
ni in attendance for the some-
times heated 90-minute session
didnt receive himwell.
Erickson said it grieves him
when people refer to the Penn
State scandal because he thinks
it centers on just one person
former football assistant coach
Jerry Sandusky, whos accused of
molestingboys, someoncampus.
Hesaidhebelieves peopleshould
call it the Sandusky scandal.
Most of Thursdays questions,
however, involved concerns over
the firing of Sanduskys former
boss, legendary football coach
Joe Paterno. Erickson said he
hasnt had time to sit down with
Paterno and his wife but hopes to
when the scandal dies down.
Former Penn State and pro
football star Franco Harris sched-
uled a competing event at the
King of Prussia hotel after broad
dissatisfaction with Ericksons
first talk in Pittsburgh on
Wednesday. Athird alumni meet-
ingis scheduledfor FridayinNew
York.
But evensomecriticssayErick-
son shouldnt be getting all the
blame for what many view as a
floundering public relations ef-
fort. Erickson is trying to repair
the schools image more thantwo
months after Sanduskys arrest
on sexual abuse charges.

App developer gets funds
Appalachian Apps, the Wilkes-Barre-
based developer of smartphone applica-
tions, received a $35,000 investment
from Ben Franklin Technology Partners
to help it complete a revised business
plan and investor presentation materi-
als.
Co-founder Bob Scocozzo said
Thursday the company has a number
of apps completed, and now its on the
marketing side; you have to market
your application.
Appalachian Apps was founded in
2009 and moved into the Innovation
Center @ Wilkes-Barre last fall.
Pa. jobless claims leap
Unemployment benefit applications
jumped last week, largely because
companies let go of thousands of tem-
porary employees after the holiday
season. Weekly applications rose by
24,000 to 399,000, the highest level in
six weeks. Economists said such a
jump is typical in early January and
downplayed the increase.
Pennsylvania showed 8,135 job cuts,
the third-highest number among the 50
states. The layoffs were most pro-
nounced in the transportation, con-
struction, wood products and metal
industries.
Foreclosures fell in 2011
About 1.9 million homes entered the
foreclosure process in 2011, the lowest
level since 2007 when the recession
began, according to a report Thursday
by the foreclosure listing firm Real-
tyTrac Inc.
The firm cautioned that the decline
does not necessarily indicate that the
housing market is getting better, as
many foreclosures have been delayed
due to confusion over documentation
and legal issues involved in the proc-
ess.
The listing firm anticipates that
2012s foreclosure rate will be higher
than last years, but will remain below
the peak of 2010.
CVS settles price complaint
CVS Caremark Corp. will pay $5
million to resolve allegations that one
of its subsidiaries understated the price
of several drugs, including medications
that treat epilepsy and symptoms of
breast cancer.
The payment will be used to reim-
burse Medicare prescription drug bene-
ficiaries who paid more than they ex-
pected for the drugs, and it ends a
two-year investigation by the Federal
Trade Commission. CVS Caremark said
its Rx America business accidentally
published incorrect drug price informa-
tion on a site maintained by Medicare.

boost Thursday as they suc-
cessfullyraisednearly(euro)
22 billion ($27.98 billion) in
two keenly watched debt
auctions that showed renew-
ed investor confidence in the
countries attempts to get a
grip on their debt problems.
Spainsoldnearly (euro)10
billion in auctions of bonds
maturing in 2015 and 2016,
with demand strong and the
amount solddouble the max-

Italy saw its borrowing
costs drop sharply as it sold
(euro) 12 billion in what was
also its first test of market
sentiment this year.
Both debt-laden countries
have been the focus of wor-
ries that they might be
dragged further into the cri-
sis threatening the 17 coun-
tries that use the euro as
their currency that has al-
ready forced Greece, Ireland
and Italy to seek billions in
bailout money.
Buyers also took (euro)
8.5 billion in 12-month Ital-
ian bonds at a yield of 2.735
percent, sharply down from
last months rate of 5.95 per-
cent. They also bought (eu-
ro) 3.5 billion in bonds ma-
turing in May at 1.644 per-
cent interest, down from
3.251 percent last time.

WILKES-BARRE A new restau-
rant opening downtown will feature
homemade recipes, free wireless In-
ternet, a jukebox and eating con-
tests.
Maers BBQOff the Square, owned
and operated by Eric Wagner, 29,
brothers Rob, 29, and Mike Burns,
25, and their mom, Anita Burns, will
hold its grand opening at noon Sat-
urday at 50-52 S. Main St. Soft open-
ings were held during the week for
nearby businesses, friends and fam-
ily.
We havent had time to be nerv-
ous, Wagner said Thursday. Weve
had so much to do to get ready.
The interior of the former Tony
Thomas Deli has been completely
transformed.
Weve been here every day for the
last sixweeks, Wagner said. We did
all the work ourselves with a lot of
helpfromfriends andfamily. We usu-
ally worked 12-hour days.
There is seating for 70 people.
The name Maers is a combina-
tion of the first names of the owners:
Mike, Anita, Eric and Rob. The res-
taurant will be open Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7
a.m. to 10 p.m.; Fridays and Satur-
days, 7 a.m. to 3 a.m.; and Sundays, 7
a.m. to noon. It will be closed on
Mondays. About 14 people will be
employed at the restaurant, Wagner
said.
Maers BBQ will offer barbecue-
themed meals including smoked
pork, brisket and ribs cooked with
homemade recipes of sauces and
rubs, as well as homemade flat-
breads, overstuffed burgers and
sandwiches, plus a full breakfast me-
nu and special late-night fare.
Eatingcontests will befeaturedev-
ery month with prizes of gift certif-
icates and T-shirts to the winners.
The first contest will be the Burger
Stack Challenge.
We looking to put some fun and
competition into the dining experi-
ence, Wagner said. We want to tar-
get customers of all ages, but the
challenge will probably be most pop-
ular with the college crowd.
Tony Thomas Deli closed Oct. 31.
It was owned and operated by the
Thomas family for 25 years. Their
first deli opened in 1986 on George
Avenue in the Parsons section. The
deli moved to South Main Street in
1994.
Maers BBQs grand opening is on Saturday

A request to increase monthly
rates for some Aqua Pennsylvania
water customers is being considered
by the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission.
The commission voted 5-0 on
Thursday during its regular meeting
to investigate the request from the
company for an annual increase of
$38.6 million, or 9.4 percent. The re-
quest has been suspended for up to
sevenmonths andwill be assignedto
the Office of Administrative Law
Judge for a recommended decision
or settlement.
Aqua Pa. presently serves more
than 404,000 customers in portions
of 27 counties, including Luzerne,
Lackawanna and Wyoming.
Under the companys proposal, the
average residential customer resid-
ing in the utilitys Main Division us-
ing 4,000 gallons per month would
see a 9.6 percent monthly increase of
$5.08, from $52.86 to $57.94. For a
customer of the companys White
Haven Division, which is what local
customers primarily fall under, the
monthly rate would jump $8.72 per
month, or 18.7 percent, from $46.69
to $55.41.
In 2010, the commission approved
a lower than requested increase for
Aqua, resulting in a 5.2 percent rate
hike. That equaled about $2.52 per
month for the average residential us-
er and generated an additional $23.6
million for the company. Bryn Mawr-
based Aqua had requested an in-
crease of 11.4 percent.
Aqua President Karl Kyriss said
the primary reason for the latest rate
request is the approximately $450
million that the company has invest-
edsinceits last rateincreaseininfras-
tructure, including upgrades to its
distribution and treatment systems
to improve drinking water quality
and service reliability.
Jennifer R. Kocher, a PUC spokes-
woman, said customers in favor of or
against the proposal are urged to
make their opinions known to the
PUC.
She saidtheyll alsoget a chance to
beheardat public input hearings that
will be scheduled in the companys
service area in the near future.

For a change
today, the
weather will
finally agree
with the calen-
dar. An incoming
blast of much
colder air is
plowing through
town early this
morning, chang-
ing the rain to
snow. A quick
coating of snow
today could
make some
roads icy or just
wet, and the
wind will turn
angry and gust
up to 35 mph.
Temperatures
will hover in the
30s all day then
drop down into
the 20s tonight,
but wind chill
temperatures
will drop into the
teens. This cold
wave will not
break any
records over the
weekend, but,
indeed, it'll be
some of the
coldest we've
had so far this
winter. Grin and
bear it.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Intense low pressure passing near northern New England will produce gusty
winds and heavy snow throughout the interior Northeast. Snowfall will also be heavy downwind of
the Great Lakes. Expect morning showers in coastal New England, which will give way to a windy and
colder afternoon. Quiet conditions are expected in the remainder of the country.
