HARRISBURG -- In a striking
example of howsausage is made
under the state Capitol dome, a
lean, three-pagebill fromtheSen-
atehas beenladenwith115pages
of amendments and is being
ramrod through the House, ac-
cording to state Rep. Eddie Day
Pashinski.
The original legislation came
from the Sen-
ate as SB560
and addressed
the appoint-
ment of state
military col-
lege selection
committees
within legisla-
tive districts. The committees
would appoint students to enroll
in state military colleges, two-
year, post-secondary institutions
that would be designed to edu-
cate students in both an academ-
ic andmilitary environment.
But according to Pashinski, D-
Wilkes-Barre, Republicans
tacked on pages of amendments
that have nothing to do with mil-
itary colleges. In fact, Pashinski
said, the amendments essential-
ly turnSB560intoSB1, aneduca-
tion reform package that passed
theSenatebut has lingeredinthe
House Education Committee.
The bill was rejected 105-90 just
minutes before the House was
forcedby its ownrules to halt de-
bate by11p.m. Wednesday.

SCRANTON In a surprise 2-1
vote Wednesday, Lackawanna
County Commissioners reversed
last weeks resolution to create a
Municipal Airport Authority to
oversee the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton International Airport, indefi-
nitely delaying the implementa-
tion of a new oversight body.
Commissioner Mike Washo,
who is leaving office Jan. 2, voted
infavor of the authority last week
and said he still supported its for-
mation, but wanted to be re-
spectful of the new administra-
tions coming in next month.
Im not happy about why Im
not voting for it, but Ill tell you
why. There are far too many con-
tentious issues inour community
right now. There are far toomany
contentious issues in Luzerne
County, and I dont want to do
anything that would appear as if
Im throwing a bomb before I
leave (office), Washo said. I
would rather walk out the door
knowing Im right rather than
walk out this door saying that I
caused a battle.
Currently, a bi-county board of
commissioners oversees the air-
port, but Luzerne County voters
in November chose to change the
form of government to an 11-
member county council. Despite
that, commissioners votedunani-
mously on Dec. 5 to create a new
authority with six members
three from Luzerne County and
three fromLackawanna County
whowouldserve four-year terms.
Luzerne County Councilman-
elect Ed Brominski asked com-
missioners to postpone the for-
mation of the authority until the
newly elected county council can
take office. Luzerne County Con-
troller Walter Griffith expressed
concern to Lackawanna County
commissioners onDec. 7 that the
authoritys formation could be
rushed to put a monkey wrench
in the works for the newgovern-
ment.
Despite these viewpoints,
Lackawanna County commis-
sioners approved creating an au-
thority on Dec. 7 in a 2-1 vote,
with Commissioner Corey
OBrien dissenting.
I think the timing is one issue,
certainly. Doing something as a
new administration is about to
come in I thought that was
something that we shouldnt be
doing at this point, OBrien said
after the meeting.
Commissioner Bruce Small-
acombe, casting the lone vote for
the authority, was prepared to of-
fer suggestions on who should sit
on the board.
The formation of the authority
was expectedto be approveddur-
ing Wednesdays continuation of
the Dec. 7 special commissioners
meeting.
I felt very strongly for the last
10 years that an airport authority
is a good thing, Smallacombe
said.

The Luzerne County home rule
transition committee voted
Wednesday night to conduct in-
personinterviewswithfivemanag-
er applicants, and one of those ap-
plicants was interviewed after the
committee meeting.
The committee interviewed the
man from 9 p.m. until about 10:10
p.m. Theinterviewedapplicant de-
clinedtorelease his name andsaid
it wouldbe upto the committee to
comment on the interview.
The committee has not yet de-
cided howmany applicants will be
officially deemed finalists and
whether theywill bepubliclyinter-
viewed.
Councilman-elect Rick Morelli
brought upthe subject of public in-
terviews during Wednesdays tran-
sition meeting, but the group did
not make a decision.
Morelli has supported releasing
the names of applicants. Several
other council members-elect have
said they would consider support-
ing public interviews of the final-
ists.
The committee, which includes
citizens and home rule charter
drafters in addition to the council-
elect, will recom-
mend a manager to
the council-elect.
The new council
members must ap-
point a manager,
temporaryor perma-
nent, whentheytake
office Jan. 2.
The committee also agreed
Wednesday to conduct a face-to-
face interview with one potential
interim manager. County Chief
Clerk/Manager Doug Pape has in-
formed the committee that he is
not interested in the interim or
permanent manager post.
Several county sources said for-
mer county Budget/Finance Chief
Tom Pribula is being considered
for the interim manager, but com-
mittee members declined com-
ment.
Transition committee Chair-
man Jim Bobeck, a councilman-
elect, said the committee will in-
terviewtheremainingfour manag-
er applicants next week. He said
these applicants are geographical-
ly diverse but he saidhe cant pro-
vide more specifics. A discussion
about how many applicants are
considered finalists and the poten-
tial public interviewing of appli-
cantswill occurafterthefivearein-
terviewed, Bobeck said.
Councilman-elect Eugene Kel-
leher asked if the five people who
have advanced to the next stage
were willingtoremaininthe appli-
cation pool if they would be publi-
cly interviewed.
Committee consultant Ken
Mohr said three did not have a
problem with public interviews.
Another applicant wanted to alert
his current employer in advance,
and another was unsure, Mohr
said.
A source said all five applicants
are men. Councilman-elect Tim
McGinley noted no applicants
shouldbeconsideredfinalists until
a thorough background and refer-
ence check has been completed.
Twolocal veterans spokeduring
the public comment portion of the
meeting to urge the committee to
recommend the hiring of former
city administrator J.J. Murphy.
County Controller Walter Griffith
said he has concerns about the in-
stallation of a city-funded security
systeminMurphyshomewhenhe
workedasadministrator. Local res-
ident Therman Guamp told the
committee the council was elected
to choose the manager, and he
does not believe the names of ap-
plicants should be publicly re-
leased.

WHAT S NEXT?
DALLAS TWP. -- Opponents
testified Wednesday against a
natural gas companys request
to build a metering station off
Lower Demunds Road.
After two hearings this week,
both representatives from Wil-
liams Field Services LLC and
residents wrapped up testimo-
ny, though the record remains
open. Last week, the board ap-
proved a similar request made
by Chief Gathering LLC after
nearly a year of hearings.
Residents made public com-
ments and offered testimony af-
ter representatives from Wil-
liams finished their own testi-
mony, though Williams attor-
ney Shawn Gallagher rested the
companys case on Monday.
A hearing that was scheduled
for today has been canceled.
The metering facility would
be located off lower Demunds
Road about 2,682 feet from the
Dallas School District campus.
Its purpose is to measure the
flow and quantity of natural gas
flowing from wells in Susque-
hanna County via the compa-
nys Springville Gathering Line.
The 33-mile gathering line
will end in the township to tap
into the Transco interstate pipe-
line, allowing the gas to be sent
to market.
Williams and Chief received
approval from the township
planning commission earlier
this year to construct pipelines
within the township.
Primary concerns for resi-
dents included the age and con-
dition of the Transco interstate
pipeline, the companys safety
practices, whether the metering
stationis incompliancewiththe
zoning ordinance and its prox-
imity to nearby houses, schools
and other buildings.
Mike Dickinson, manager of
technical operations in the Ap-
palachian basin for Williams,
said there will be automatic
shut-off valves at the tapsite, be-
tween the Dallas and Northmo-
reland townships metering fa-
cilities and elsewhere along the
pipeline. He said pipeline activ-
ity is remotely monitored 24
hours a day, seven days a week
by Williams employees inTulsa,
Okla.
Resident NormTomchak said
the Transco line, which is own-
ed by the same company as Wil-
liams, should offer testimony
because it will be designing, op-
erating and maintaining the
site. He had numerous ques-
tions about the Transco pipe-
lines condition and operations,
which he said have resulted in a
lot of I dont knows.
The Transco line was built in
the township in 1958, but Wil-
liams officials have saidsome ar-
eas have been replaced since
then.
Williams representatives
were also grilled on the compa-
nys system integrity plan,
which sets a standard for safety
in all Williams midstreamoper-
ations. Williams senior counsel
Raj Basi saidmost of the practic-
es and inspections are federal
and state regulations, but some
reflect the companys best
management practices.
After the opponents testified,
Gallagher presented closing ar-
guments. Residents have until
Dec. 28 to submit findings of
fact and conclusions of law
based on the testimony and will
have until Jan. 4 to respond to
those documents.
Theboardwill meet inmid-Ja-
nuary to deliberate and make a
final decision in the case.

WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-
Barre Area School Boards new
president decided to signal her
intent for change by physically
rearranging the boards public
meeting room for the first time
in memory Wednesday night.
Maryanne Toole decided to
move the tables and chairs used
by the nine members, solicitors
and administrators from a U
shapeat oneendof therectangu-
lar roomtoanL shape, putting
the board members all face to
face with audience members.
The meeting also featured a
performance by the GAR High
School Choir. The changes
made by a woman who sat in a
minority for years ran deeper
than aesthetics. Toole also
formed two newad hoc commit-
tees, one to reinvigorate a long-
delayed promise to devise and
adopt a teacher-hiring policy,
andanother toreviewall district
buildings and determine what
actions the boardshouldtake re-
garding both needed and pre-
ventive maintenance.
Robert Corcoran chairs the
new hiring policy committee
and James Susek leads the facil-
ities committee.
Thedistrict hasnowrittenhir-
ingpolicy, but doesfollowastan-
dard procedure that included
letting board members take
turns recommending a candi-
dateforhiring. Thelackof policy
was revealed when two board
members agreed to plead guilty
to federal corruption charges re-
lated to bribes paid by candi-
dates seeking posts. A newpoli-
cy was promised, but the prom-
ise has gone unfulfilled for two
years.
Recurring repair problems at
the aging buildings particular-
ly the high schools have
prompted repeated recommen-
dations that a full review of the
structures and a plan to deal
with thembe drawn up, but that
also has not happened.
In fact, Superintendent Jeff
Namey advised the board
Wednesday that a number of se-
curitycamerashavebeenfailing,
particularlyinGAR, andsaidthe
district needs to bring someone
in to determine if they can be re-
paired or should be replaced.
The board also awarded
$46,985 worth of sports equip-
ment contracts and a one-year
$36,004 contract to Master
Chemical for custodial paper
supplies and services.

Regional plan is adopted
Lackawanna County commissioners
unanimously adopted the Lackawanna-
Luzerne Regional Plan after a public
hearing and vote on Wednesday.
The first bi-county plan in the com-
monwealth follows prior shared hazard
mitigation, long-range transportation
and comprehensive plans between
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.
It aims to eliminate sprawl and move
shopping centers into existing down-
towns. Transportation plans identify
heavily traveled roadways fit for major
retail outlets and grander plans.
Joint zoning provisions could allow
municipalities to share the legal use of
their land, including places such as
slaughterhouses or landfills.
By having joint zoning somewhere
within that number of municipalities,
you would have to allow for those uses
but you wouldnt have to allow for
them in every municipality, said Steve
Pitoniak, transportation planning man-
ager for Lackawanna County.
The benefits of collaborative plan-
ning have already been shown. If a
hazard mitigation plan was not put into
place, according to Pitoniak, victims of
the fall floods in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania would not have been eligible
for federal or state aid. Luzerne County
commissioners unanimously adopted
the plan in October.

Vehicles hit by thefts
There have been a large number of
thefts from parked vehicles in the areas
of First and Third streets, and borough
police are asking residents to remove
all valuables from their vehicles, keep
vehicle doors locked and call 911 if they
see or hear suspicious activity.
Thefts have been occurring during
late night and early morning hours and
mainly have targeted vehicles that have
valuables inside that are visible from
the street.

A congressional redistrict-
ing bill that drastically alters
the boundaries of federal vot-
ing districts was narrowly ap-
proved on a 6-5 vote Wednes-
day by a Senate committee,
and the full Senate approved it
26-24 late Wednesday night.
The state House then would
vote on it next week. Its not
official until it passes both the
state Senate and House and is
signed by the governor, but
since all three are Republican-
controlled, approval is expect-
ed.
Democratic critics have said
the redistricting maps re-
vealed Tuesday clearly show
the intent of the Republican
majority in the House and
Senate is to ensure GOP victo-
ries in as many congressional
districts as possible.
State Sens.John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, and
John Blake, D-Archbald, crit-
icized the plan and planned to
vote against it.
The raw partisanship
which has governed the 2011
redistricting process now in-
cludes the congressional reap-
portionment process, and it
represents a chilling policy of
divide and diminish, Yudi-
chak said. The congressional
reapportionment plans divides
the people of NEPA among
three congressional districts.
It divides communities of in-

WILKES-BARRE A Pittston man
was convicted Wednesday of several
charges relating to a case in which
prosecutors say he had an inappro-
priate relationship with a young girl
over a seven-year period.
Albert Chase, 33, was convicted of
three counts of involuntary deviate
sexual intercourse, and one count
each of rape of a person less than 13
years old and aggravated indecent as-
sault by a jury that deliberated for
more than eight hours Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Assistant District
Attorney Jenny Ro-
berts said Chase
faces 25 to 50 years
in prison when he is
sentenced.
Chases sentenc-
ing will be delayed
until after a mem-
ber of the state Sex-
ual Offenders As-
sessment Board
evaluates him to de-
termine whether he
is a sexually violent
predator and to de-
termine if Megans
Law registration is
called for.
Luzerne County
Senior Judge Ken-
neth Brown said
Chases sentencing
will be scheduled within 90 days.
The jury deliberated for a short
time Tuesday before being sent
home for the night. The panel contin-
ued deliberations Wednesday morn-
ing, and at around 2:20 p.m. told the
judge they were unable to reach a
verdict.
Brown instructed the jurors to re-
turn to the deliberation room until
they reached a unanimous verdict or
were hopelessly deadlocked. The
verdict came around 4 p.m.
Prosecutors during the eight-day
trial alleged Chase had an inappro-
priate relationship with a now-22-
year-old woman beginning when she
was 8 years old and continuing for
seven years.

HAZLE TWP. One of the
few items Anneliese Noss-
baum brought with her when
she boarded a train headed to
the Auschwitz concentration
camp in Nazi Germany in
1944was a photoof her father.
The young teen had cut out
the image of his face and
smuggled it into the camp af-
ter Nazi soldiers told their
Jewish captives they had to
leave behind all of their be-
longings before entering the
camp.
Nossbaum hid the photo in
her mouth whenever she
stood in line to take a shower
so the soldiers wouldnt con-
fiscate it.
It lasted only a short time,
and I cried bitterly when his
face faded away and all that
was left was the piece of pa-
per, Nossbaum, now 82, told
more than 800 Hazleton Area
High School students
Wednesday as they sat in si-
lence, spellbound by her story
of surviving the Holocaust.
Nossbaum, of Philadelphia,
shared with the students cer-
tain happenings in her life in
Nazi Germany and concentra-
tion camps that either
shaped me or they pulled me
apart.
Crystal Lyons, an English
teacher at the Hazleton Area
Career Center, said her fresh-
men honors English students
had read Night, a book by
Elie Wiesel about his experi-
ence with his father, Shlomo,
in Nazi concentration camps.
Lyons contacted the Holo-
caust Awareness Museum in
Philadelphia and program di-
rector Phil Holtje agreed to
bring a survivor to speak at
the school if there was a siza-
ble audience. Because the
Holocaust is covered in the
U.S. History course taken by
juniors, Principal Rocco Pe-
trone agreed to an assembly
for the entire junior class as
well as Lyons freshmen.
Systematic genocide
Nossbaum told the stu-
dents how her life changed in
her birthplace of Guben, Ger-
many, as theNazis begantheir
systematic genocide of mil-
lions of Jews. For much of her
childhood, Nossbaum said,
shewasabletogoanywhereI
wanted to go.
By 1935, her familys citi-
zenship was revoked. They
were bannedfrompublic plac-
es such as swimming pools.
She was not allowed to go to
school. Still, she could see a
movie nowandthen, she said.
It wasaspecial treat for me. It
felt safe to be there.
Nossbaum also felt safe in
her synagogue, where her fa-
ther was a cantor.
The synagogue had be-
come my second home.
On Nov. 10, 1938, the Nazis
burned down her second
home.
Someone rushed into our
school and shouted that our
synagogue, my synagogue,
my home, was now on fire.
How can I describe the feel-
ings of helplessness, sadness,
as I walked along my fathers
sideneither oneof ussaying
a word. My world was
breaking. I was falling apart,
she said.
When Nossbaum was 12,
the Nazis ordered her family
movedtoa cloister. We could
have escaped so easily. But
where to? Who would have
helpedus? In1941, thecloister
became myprison. 474peo-
ple were interred, seven peo-
ple survived, all women, she
said.

Monroe counties, and it dimin-
ishes the power of the people of
NEPA to have their voices
heard in Washington.
Yudichak said major portions
of the northeast region, includ-
ing the cities of Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Nanti-
coke and Pittston, have been di-
vided. He said neighboring
communities in the Wyoming
Valley, such as Nanticoke and
Wilkes-Barre, will be in two
separate congressional dis-
tricts.
Long-term congressional
seats, historically centered in
the heart of NEPA, can now be
represented by lawmakers who
will potentially hail from Lewis-
town or Mechanicsburg in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania, Yudichak
said.
How does that make sense
for the people of NEPA? he
asked. Blake said the congres-
sional reapportionment map is
a violation of the public trust.
He said it ignores the sensibil-
ities of Pennsylvanias voters
who deserve both transparency
and fairness in the conduct of
the peoples business by elected
officials.
Because Republicans do not
trust their ideas to the judg-
ment of all the people of this
state, they decide rather to use
their majority position to fur-
ther consolidate and sustain
their political power in disre-
gard to the majority opinion of
all voters, Blake said. The
congressional redistricting map
put forth by the majority party
is a travesty.
Calling the plan the ultimate
in political cynicism, Common
Cause/PA Executive Director
Barry Kauffman said the bill
abandons any pretense of main-
taining congressional districts
as communities of interest.
This congressional redis-
tricting plan is breathtakingly
brazen in its defiance of the in-
terests of Pennsylvanias vot-
ers, Kauffman said.

abuse began with Chase inap-
propriately touching her and
progressed to a point where
she says they were having inter-
course on a near-daily basis.
Chase testified Monday and
denied the allegations, saying
several of the witnesses who
testified against him were ly-
ing. They included family
members of the woman and
family friends.
Roberts argued Wednesday
after the verdict that Chase
should be jailed at the county
prison because of the serious-
ness of the charges and because
Chase might be a flight risk.
These are the most serious
(of charges) other than homi-
cide, Roberts said.
Chases attorney, Nanda Pal-
issery, argued Chase is free be-
cause he posted a portion of the
$50,000 bail by using his moth-
ers property as collateral.
Palissery said Chase has no
prior criminal record and
would reside with his mother
until the time of his sentenc-
ing.
Brown agreed to permit
Chase to remain free on bail
but he must hand over his U.S.
passport to the District Attor-
neys Office and have no con-
tact with the victim or her im-
mediate family.
CONVICTED
In July1942, the family was de-
ported to Czechoslovakia. And in
October 1944, Nossbaumwas de-
portedwithher mother toAusch-
witz.
Upon arrival, her head was
shaved and she was selected to
work in the slave labor camp.
Five days later, she and her moth-
er were sent to a factory in Ger-
many, where she was forced to
make airplane parts. She cele-
brated her 16th birthday there. A
scrap of bread was the present
she received from her mother, a
gift she cherished.
In April 1945, Nossbaum and
her mother were deported to the
Mauthausen concentration camp
in Austria. On May 5, the U.S. Ar-
my liberated them. Afflicted with
tuberculosis, her mother died in
a hospital that December.
She described coming to the
UnitedStates in1946andpassing
the Statue of Liberty as a glori-
ous moment shell never forget.
Moving experience
Freshmenhonors students Ma-
ria Trivelpiece and Layne Miller
said they were moved by Noss-
baums stories about saying
goodbye to her father and seeing
his photo fade away day by day.
Larissa Wright said Noss-
baums story gave her a stronger
realization of what actually hap-
pened in the Holocaust.
Benjamin Eboray said hearing
Nossbaumspeak after taking his-
tory classes made it a lot more
personal. The history books can
only tell you so much.
Becky Auman said the experi-
ence was like stepping back in
time. Its like stepping into their
shoes. This taught me a lot.

Doc faces pill mill charges
T
he doctor charged with killing
babies at an abortion clinic in Phila-
delphia is facing new allegations that
he ran a pill mill out of the now-closed
facility.
Federal prosecutors said Kermit
Gosnell, 70, wrote thousands of pre-
scriptions for painkillers and sedatives
for no legitimate medical purpose.
Federal agents raided Gosnells clinic
in February 2010 after receiving reports
that he was running a pill mill. They
reported finding deplorable and unsani-
tary conditions, including fetal parts in
jars.

Syrians retaliate for attack
Violence across Syria killed at least
25 people Wednesday, including eight
soldiers who were gunned down by
army defectors in a retaliatory ambush
after government troops destroyed a
civilian car, activists said.
It was the second day in a row in
which an attack by President Bashar
Assads forces on civilians appears to
have brought a quick and deadly act of
revenge by anti-regime fighters. The
ambush was the latest sign that the
once-peaceful protest movement is
growing into an insurgency.
The brazen midday attack came
hours after troops fired upon a civilian
car traveling through the village of
Khattab in the countryside of the cen-
tral province of Hama, killing all five
passengers inside.
Hours later, he said, gunmen am-
bushed a convoy of four military jeeps
passing through the nearby village of
al-Asharna on the northern outskirts of
the city of Hama, spraying it with bul-
lets.

Egyptians return to polls
Egyptians poured back into polling
stations Wednesday to take part in a
second round of voting that is expected
to boost Islamist parties control over
the soon-to-be-formed parliament.
Many of the nine governorates in-
volved in round two included rural and
conservatives areas where Islamist
parties have long enjoyed strong sup-
port.
Though no preliminary results were
announced late Wednesday, many
predicted that Islamist parties would
consolidate their gains from the first
round. The Muslim Brotherhoods
Freedom and Justice Party led ballot-
ing last month with more than 40 per-
cent of the vote, and the harder-line
Salafi party Al Nour garnered 21 per-
cent.

Probe finds possible fraud
Authorities looking into the death of
a Florida A&M University drum major
opened a new investigation after they
uncovered possible employee fraud and
misconduct at the school, according to
documents released Wednesday.
Meanwhile, there was more fallout in
Georgia. An Atlanta-area school district
suspended all marching band activities
at 21 high schools over concerns of
inappropriate physical activity be-
tween students. Two alleged victims of
hazing at Florida A&M were in the
Southwest DeKalb High marching
band, which was one of those suspend-
ed.
In Florida, state audits found that
some FAMU financial records could
not be verified and there was question-
able contracting. The college also
could not account for millions of dol-
lars in inventory.

State trustee heading the
boards inquiry into child sex
abuse allegations against a re-
tired assistant football coach
says he hopes the probe will be
finished by the end of the aca-
demic year.
Kenneth Frazier leads the
trustees committee that ap-
pointed former FBI director
Louis Freeh to handle the inter-
nal investigation into the crimi-
nal charges against Jerry Sand-
usky. While Frazier said Freeh
will have as much time as he
wants, he added, I would hope
that it wouldbedonebytheend
of the academic year, The Star-
Ledger newspaper of Newark,
N.J., reported Wednesday
Freeh was tapped by trustees
to lead the investigation on
Nov. 21, more than two weeks
after Sandusky was charged.
Sandusky, 67, faces dozens of
criminal counts for what a
grand jury called a series of sex-
ual assaults and abuse of 10
boys datingbacktothe1990s in
hotel swimming pools, in the
basement of his home in State
College, where the university is
based, and in the locker room
showers at Penn State, where
he coached football until his re-
tirement in 1999.
Sandusky waivedhis prelimi-
naryhearingonTuesday, plead-
ing not guilty and requesting a
jurytrial. Hehas acknowledged
he showered with boys but says
he never molested them. His
wife has said hes innocent of
the child sex abuse allegations
against him, and his lawyer has
said his accusers are just trying
to cash in by making up stories.
Sanduskys decision shifts
the focus in the child sex-abuse
scandal to two Penn State ad-
ministrators accused of failing
to properly report suspected
abuse and lying to the grand ju-
ry investigating Sandusky.
TimCurley andGary Schultz
face their own pretrial hearing
on Friday in Harrisburg. Their
cases couldhinge ona manalso
expected to be a prime witness
against Sandusky: assistant
football coach Mike McQueary.
McQueary testified that he
saw Sandusky sexually assault-
ing a boy in the football team
locker room showers in March
2002, according to a grand jury
presentment.
McQueary, then a 28-year-
old graduate assistant, report-
ed what he sawto then-football
coachJoePaterno, thegrandju-
ry said. Paterno called Curley,
the universitys athletic direc-
tor, the next day, and a week
and a half later McQueary met
with Curley and Schultz
who oversaw university police
in his position as a vice presi-
dent.
What precisely was said at
those meetings, and what Curl-
ey and Schultz did or didnt do
afterward is at the heart of the
governments case against
them.
Their lawyers have declined
recent requests for comment,
but previously have said the
two men deny the allegations
and indicated they will contest
thefacts allegedbytheattorney
generals office and dispute
how the particular offenses
have been applied to them.

WASHINGTON Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Chair-
man Gregory Jaczko on Wednes-
day denied claims by fellowcom-
missioners that he has bullied
and intimidated staff members,
and said he has no plans to step
down.
Under fierce questioning from
a House committee, Jaczko re-
fused to name a single thing he
had done wrong in his 2 1/2-year
tenure as NRC chair.
I have no plans to resign, be-
cause I continue to believe under
my leadership the agency has
performed very well, Jaczko
said. We have committed our-
selves to safety,
andI believemy
record shows
that.
Jaczkos com-
ments came af-
ter four of the
five members of
the NRC said
the chairmans
bullying and
intimidation
have damaged
the agencys ef-
fectiveness.
The commis-
sioners two
Democrats and two Republicans
said Jaczko, a Democrat, is re-
sponsible for an increasingly
tense and unsettled work envi-
ronment at the NRC. The four
commissioners sent a letter to
the White House in October ex-
pressing grave concern about
Jaczko s actions.
Commissioner William Mag-
wood, a Democrat, told a House
oversight committee that Jaczko
had bullied and belittled three fe-
male staff members, one of
whom said she was humiliated
by what Magwood called a rag-
ing verbal assault.
Magwood and other commis-
sioners denied claims by some
lawmakers, including Senate Ma-
jority Leader Harry Reid, that the
allegations against Jaczko were
politically motivated. Jaczko
worked for Reid before joining
the NRC.
Commissioner William Osten-
dorff, seated next to Jaczko, said
thereal issueis Jaczkos bullying
andintimidation of NRCstaffers
and even some commissioners,
which Ostendorff said should
not and cannot be tolerated.

ity to lead the commission.

ATLANTA Its a startling number: 1
in 4 women surveyed by the government
say they were violently attacked by their
husbands or boyfriends.
Experts in domestic violence dont find
it too surprising, although some aspects
of the survey may have led to higher num-
bers than are sometimes reported.
Even so, a government official who
oversaw the research called the results
astounding.
Its the first time weve had this kind of
estimate on the prevalence of intimate
partner violence, said Linda Degutis of
the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
vention.
The survey, released by the CDC on
Wednesday, marks the beginningof a new
annual project to look at howmany wom-
en say theyve been abused.
One expert called the new
reports estimate onrape and
attempted rape extremely
high with 1 in 5 women
saying they were victims.
About half of those cases in-
volvedintimate partners. No
documentation was sought
toverify the womens claims,
which were made anony-
mously.
But advocates say the new
rape numbers are plausible.
Its a major problem that
often is underestimated and
overlooked, said Linda
James, director of health for
Futures Without Violence, a
San Francisco-based organization that ad-
vocates against domestic abuse.
The CDC report is based on a rando-
mized telephone survey of about 9,000
women and 7,400 men.
Among the findings:
As many as 29 million women say
they have suffered severe and frightening
physical violence from a boyfriend,
spouse or other intimate
partner. That includes be-
ing choked, beaten,
stabbed, shot, punched,
slammed against some-
thing or hurt by hair-pull-
ing.
That number grows
to 36 million if slapping,
pushing and shoving are
counted.
Almost half of the
women who reported
rape or attempted rape
said it happened when
they were 17 or younger.
As many as 1 in 3
women have experienced
rape, physical violence or
stalking by an intimate partner in their
lifetimes, compared to about 1 in10 men.
Both men and women who had been
menacedor attackedintheseways report-
ed more health problems. Female vic-
tims, in particular, had significantly high-
er rates of irritable bowel syndrome, asth-
ma, frequent headaches and difficulty
sleeping.

Palins Alaska lawyers by
phone are goingtohave to
stand trial.
Federal Judge Timothy
Burgess onWednesday re-
jected a plea deal for
Shawn Christy and his fa-
ther, CraigChristy, andin-
stead ordered the men to
stand trial in early Janu-
ary.
The plea agreement
would have let the two
avoid prison time and six-
figure fines.
Burgess says the plea
agreements prosecutors
had reached with the
Christys were not accept-
able to him. The judge cit-
ed what he described as a
disturbing pattern of
threats.
The Christys were ar-
rested in Pennsylvania in
August. Prosecutors say
the men were upset about
state restraining orders is-
sued on behalf of the for-
mer Alaska governor and
2008 Republican vice
presidential candidate.
The restraining orders
were issued after Palin
left office.

The Pennsylvania Liquor
Control Board has pulled an
advertisement after com-
plaints that the ad depicts
women as being at fault for
date rape.
Stacey Witalec, a spokesper-
son for the Liquor Control
Board, defended the ad, which
is part of the LCBs controlto-
night.com campaign, insisting
that it wasnt meant to blame
victims but just add aware-
ness.
We knew this was going to
be an emotionally charged is-
sue and never intended for it to
be victim blaming, said Sta-
cey.
Another ad that was pulled
showed the same image but
said, She didnt want to do it,
but she couldnt say no.
The Control Board received
hundreds of calls and emails
from across the country that
encouraged them to pull the
ads.
Victims of rape said the ad
was deceiving and upsetting.
People to whom a reporter
showed the ads agreed that the
ads should have been pulled.
They did not feel comfort-
able with the message it was
sending.
They could say it in a differ-
ent way, I dont think its very
tasteful at all and I do think its
offensive, said Jean Gresick-
Schugsta.

HARRISBURG As lawmakers
hurry to wrap up business before their
holiday break, the Corbett administra-
tion issued a strong warning that fail-
ure to authorize $1.7 billion in new
state borrowing could shut down thou-
sands of construction projects across
the state.
In a letter obtained Wednesday by
The Associated Press, Budget Secreta-
ry Charles Zogby said a lack of cash
threatens to idle work onhighways and
bridges, flood-control improvements,
prison construction and similar activ-
ities.
Thousands of construction workers
will be laidoff andthe economy will be-
gin to suffer if the bill is not approved
by the House before its planned ad-
journment next week, Zogby wrote to
Rep. Gordon Denlinger, vice chairman
of the House Finance Committee.
The Senate unanimously approved
the legislation in June.
The bill, known as the Capital Bud-
get Act, usually is approved routinely,
but a provision allocating $270 million
to reimburse contractors and local gov-
ernments for redevelopment projects
has drawn scrutiny this year from
House GOP leader Mike Turzai, R-Al-
legheny, who has suggested tighter
controls may be needed.
Turzai spokesman Steve Miskin said
his boss remains concerned about the
level of borrowing and that House Re-
publicans are expected to discuss the
situation in a caucus meeting Wednes-
day.
Its a lot of money, Miskin said.
Besides that money, distributed
through the Redevelopment Capital
Assistance Program known in Har-
risburg as RCAP the bill would au-
thorize borrowing $935 million for
buildings and structures, $412 million
for transportationandbridges, $10 mil-
lion for furnishings and equipment for
new construction and $35 million for
flood control.
Official: Stalled
state borrowing
could cost jobs
By PETER JACKSON

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Corbett
and his fellow Republicans who control
the state Legislature scrambled at the
state Capitol on Wednesday to wrap up
several major bills and put the best face on
their first year of sharing power in Harris-
burg.
The day was scheduled to be the last in
session this year for state senators before
their traditional holiday break from Har-
risburg, and they waded through a torrent
of votes. However, after months of trying,
an agreement was eluding Republican
leaders of the House and Senate on
Wednesday on two major priorities of Cor-
betts, lawmakers said.
Those priorities include a bill that
would create taxpayer-paid vouchers to
subsidize private school tuition for chil-
dren of lower-income families in strug-
gling public schools, and another that
would impose an impact fee on Pennsyl-
vanias booming natural gas drilling and
update the states regulations over the in-
dustry.
Democrats largely oppose the Republi-
can-sponsoredbills onthe subjects, calling
vouchers a taxpayer-paid gift to Catholic
schools that do nothing to improve public
schools and saying the Marcellus Shale
gas drilling legislation lacks strong envi-
ronmental protections or a meaningful tax
that many other states impose on the lu-
crative and powerful industry.
House Republican leaders spent much
of the day behind closed doors trying to
drum up support for a proposal to test
vouchers in a five-year pilot project that
would be much smaller in scope than envi-
sioned in legislation the Senate passed in
October. But Republicans said by after-
noon it lacked enough votes to pass and
would not surface.
We took a shot. The fact is, right now,
the votes arent there on either side of the
aisle, Steve Miskin, spokesmanfor House
GOP leader Mike Turzai, said Wednesday
night.
The majority caucus proved to be fatally
divided over a late-night attempt by GOP
leaders to shove through a charter-school
reform package.
The proposal would have established a
state commission that would join local
school boards in wielding power to autho-
rize new charter schools and be the only
agency that could authorize new online
cyber-charter schools. It also would have
created a newstate committee to examine
the financing of both and expanded a tax
credit for businesses that finance certain
educational causes.
Republicans said the package would ex-
pand school choice. Democrats countered
that it would create an expensive new
state bureaucracy rather than improve
education.
It was proposed as an amendment to a
bill that would allow each member of the
Legislature to appoint a qualifiedconstitu-
ent to the freshman class of the Valley
Forge Military Academy & College each
year. It was rejected 105-90 just minutes
before the House was forced by its own
rules to halt debate by 11 p.m.
This hasnt evengone throughthe Edu-
cation Committee, said Rep. James R.
Roebuck Jr. of Philadelphia, the ranking
Democrat on the committee.
Without an agreement with the House
on gas drilling legislation, Senate Repub-
lican leaders took a procedural step
Wednesday to move toward a six-person
House-Senate conference committee that
is designed to negotiate a compromise bill
that gets anup-or-downvoteineachcham-
ber, with no amendments allowed.
Waiting until at least January, in all like-
lihood, for an agreement on a gas drilling
bill is just the latest disappointment for
Senate President ProTempore Joe Scarna-
ti, R-Jefferson, who has pressed for the leg-
islation all year.
Also Wednesday, a Republican-de-
signed map of Pennsylvanias 18 new U.S.
House districts that would take effect for a
decade is over a first hurdle.
State senators voted 26-24 on Wednes-
day night to approve the proposed map,
over howls of protest fromDemocrats that
it carves up communities simply to shore
up the re-election chances of Republican
congressmen. The map faces significant
changes because Pennsylvanias congres-
sional delegation must shrink by one seat
beginning in 2012.
The proposed new map was drawn be-
hind closed doors and first unveiled Tues-
day. It stirred criticism immediately.
Among other things, it would force two
Democratic incumbents in southwestern
Pennsylvania to run against each other
while moving Easton, Scranton, Wilkes-
Barre and Harrisburg into new districts.
The bill still requires approval from the
House and Gov. Tom Corbett.

part of a year-end political show-
down over economic priorities
that could also trim unemploy-
ment benefits, freeze federal pay
and reduce entitlement spend-
ing.
Robert Rector, a senior re-
search fellow at the conservative
Heritage Foundation, questioned
whether some people classified
as poor or low-income actually
suffer material hardship. He said
that while safety-net programs
have helped many Americans,
they have gone too far, citing
poor people who live in decent-
size homes, drive cars and own
wide-screen TVs.
Theres no doubt the reces-
sion has thrown a lot of people
out of work and incomes have
fallen, Rector said. As we come
out of recession, it will be impor-
tant that these programs pro-
mote self-sufficiency rather than
dependence and encourage peo-
ple to look for work.
Mayors in 29 cities say more
than 1 in 4 people needing emer-
gency food assistance did not re-
ceive it. Many middle-class
Americans are dropping below
the low-income threshold
roughly $45,000 for a family of
four because of pay cuts, a
forcedreductionof workhours or
a spouse losing a job. Housing
and child-care costs are consum-
inguptohalf of afamilys income.
States in the South and West
had the highest shares of low-in-
come families, including Arizo-
na, New Mexico and South Car-
olina, which have scaled back or
eliminated aid programs for the
needy. By raw numbers, such
families were most numerous in
California and Texas, each with
more than 1 million.
The struggling Americans in-
clude Zenobia Bechtol, 18, in
Austin, Texas, who earns mini-
mum wage as a part-time pizza
delivery driver. Bechtol and her
7-month-old baby were recently
evicted from their bedbug-infest-
edapartment after her boyfriend,
an electrician, lost his job in the
sluggish economy.
After an 18-month job search,
Bechtols boyfriendnowworks as
a waiter and the family of three is
temporarilylivingwithher moth-
er.
Were paying my mom $200 a
month for rent, and after diapers
and formula and gas for work, we
barely have enough money to
spend, said Bechtol, a high
school graduate who wants to go
to college. If it werent for food
stamps and other government
money for families who need
help, we wouldnt have been able
to survive.
About 97.3 million Americans
fall into a low-income category,
commonly defined as those earn-
ing between 100 and 199 percent
of the poverty level, based on a
new supplemental measure by
the Census Bureau that is de-
signed to provide a fuller picture
of poverty. Together withthe 49.1
million who fall below the pover-
ty line and are counted as poor,
they number 146.4 million, or 48
percent of the U.S. population.
Thats up by 4 million from2009,
the earliest numbers for the new-
ly developed poverty measure.
The new measure of poverty
takes into account medical, com-
muting and other living costs.
Doing that helped push the num-
ber of people below 200 percent
of the poverty level up from 104
million, or 1 in 3 Americans, that
was officiallyreportedinSeptem-
ber.
Following the recession that
began in late 2007, the share of
working families who are low in-
come has risen for three straight
years to 31.2 percent, or 10.2 mil-
lion. That proportion is the high-
est in at least a decade, up from
27percent in2002, accordingtoa
new analysis by the Working
Poor Families Project and the
Population Reference Bureau, a
nonprofit research group based
in Washington.
POVERTY
WILKES-BARRE A state police
trooper testified Wednesday in the sec-
ondday of a homicide trial beingheldfor
Izel and Isiah Garrett that one brother
told him their cousin was the trigger-
man in the deadly shooting.
Trooper James Surmick said Isiah
Garrett told himin an interviewthat 30-
year-old Abdul Shabazz came to their fa-
thers West Hazleton apartment in De-
cember 2010 to sell him, Izel and Tyrek
Smith $300 worth of marijuana.
When Shabazz saw the counterfeit
money handed over to pay for the drugs,
he looked at it in a funny way.
Thats when, Isiah Garrett told Sur-
mick, that Smith pulled out a black Colt
revolver and twice shot Shabazz, also
known as the Weed Bull and Weed
Boy.
Testimony is expected to continue
this morning. A jury of 10 men and four
women may hear closing arguments as
early as this afternoon.
Surmick said Isiah Garrett said a .38-
caliber silver Taurus handgun also was
present at the time of the shooting, but
Garrett told him the Colt was the gun
used in the shooting.
Trooper Elwood Spencer also was
called to testify by assistant district at-
torneys Frank McCabe and Jill Mat-
thews Lada. Through ballistics testing,
the trooper testified, investigators deter-
mined the silver Taurus was the murder
weapon.
Another state police trooper, Shawn
Williams, also testified, saying that Izel
Garrett told him that Smith shot Sha-
bazz during the drug deal and robbery.
Investigators said the three men took
the marijuana after the shooting and
smoked it while driving to Smiths home
in Harrisburg.
Last week, Smith pleaded guilty to a
robbery charge related to the homicide
andis scheduledto be sentencedonFeb.
23. He faces a maximum of 20 years in
prison.
Smith testified Tuesday that Izel Gar-
rett was the shooter, and he didnt know
what was going on until after the rob-
bery occurred. He saidhe was shocked
at what had happened.
The bullet recovered from Shabazzs
body passed through six vital organs, fo-
rensic pathologist Gary Ross testified.
The bullet entered Shabazzs left ab-
domen, passed through his spleen, large
and small intestines, stomach, pancreas
and liver and exited the back right chest
area, he said.
Ross said the abdomen shot was the
fatal shot and a second bullet had grazed
Shabazzs left arm.
State trooper: Isiah Garrett said his cousin shot man
Isiah and Izel Garrett on trial in
death of Abdul Shabazz. Tyrek Smith
was also at scene.

A tax advocacy group is urg-
ing legislators to enact state
corporate tax reform based on
its study that showed 265 of the
nations biggest and most prof-
itable companies, including
several that do business in Lu-
zerne County, paid state corpo-
rate taxes on only about half of
their profits the past three
years.
The report, Corporate Tax
Dodging in the Fifty States,
faults overly generous tax in-
centives handed out by states,
coupled with creative use of tax
loopholes by corporations, for
allowing corporations to under-
pay $42.7 billion in state in-
come taxes from 2008 to 2010.
Of the 265 corporations ana-
lyzed, 68 paid no state corpo-
rate income tax in at least one
of the past three years, accord-
ing to the report. Another 20
averaged a tax rate of zero or
less in the same time period.
The analysis included 14 cor-
porations that are headquar-
tered in Pennsylvania. Several
of those firms, including Com-
cast, Air Products & Chemicals
and PNC Financial Services
Group, have locations in Lu-
zerne County.
Pennsylvanias corporate tax
rate is 9.99 percent, but the 14
firms paid nowhere near that
rate after deductions, accord-
ing to the study, which was con-
ducted by the Institute on Taxa-
tion and Economic Policy, a tax
research group, and Citizens
for Tax Justice, a tax advocacy
group, both located in Wash-
ington, D.C.
H.J. Heinz Co. paid the low-
est tax rate of all Pennsylvania-
based corporations. It had near-
ly $1.6 billion in profits from
2008-2010 on which it paid $13
million in taxes, for a rate of 0.8
percent. PNC Financial Group,
which has offices in Luzerne
County, had the second lowest
tax rate, paying $147 million in
taxes on $10.1 billion in profits,
or 1.5 percent.
Its not known what portion,
if any, of the taxes that were
paid went into Pennsylvanias
coffers. The study was not able
to break out payment of taxes
by state because corporations
do not provide that information
on their annual reports, the key
documents utilized in the anal-
ysis.
Fred Solomon, vice president
of corporate communications
for PNC, declined to address is-
sues raised in the report.
PNC pays the taxes it owes.
Beyond that, our practice is not
to comment on reports by other
organizations, Solomon said.
Matthew Gardner, executive
director of the Institute for Tax-
ation and Economic Policy,
said the report should serve as
a wake-up call to the public and
state legislators that major re-
visions are needed to state cor-
porate tax structure.
At a time when states al-
ready face years of harmful bud-
get cuts, every million dollars
of taxes that is not collected
from profitable corporations is
a million dollars that has to be
made up somewhere, said
Gardner, who co-authored the
report.
The biggest issue facing
states are provisions within the
tax codes that allow corpora-
tions that do business in mul-
tiple states to artificially shift
their profits, on paper, to other
states that have a more favor-
able tax rate, Gardner said.
A company headquartered in
Pennsylvania, for instance, can
set up a shell company in Neva-
da, which has no corporate tax
rate. Utilizing creative account-
ing techniques, the companys
profits show up as if they were
earned in Nevada, even though
the sales actually occurred in
Pennsylvania, Gardner said.
That happens because most
states, including Pennsylvania,
treat individual companies in a
multistate corporation as a sep-
arate corporation for tax pur-
poses, Gardner said. States can
close that loophole by changing
the tax code to treat multistate
corporations as a single entity,
then taxing a share of the com-
bined profit.
Twenty-three states have
done that, but Pennsylvania
lawmakers have rejected the
idea thus far.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, said law-
makers are well aware of the is-
sue. Its estimated that 71 per-
cent of the companies subject
to the states corporate income
tax do not pay any tax at all,
costing the state $450 million a
year, he said.
Yudichak said there is cur-
rently a bill before the state
Senate that addresses the is-
sue. He said he supports the
bill, but he doubts it will pass
due to opposition by Republi-
can leaders.
The loophole subsidizes
large multistate companies at
the expense of small Pennsylva-
nia businesses, Yudichak said.
Our budget continues to grow
tighter and tighter. We cannot
allow companies to skirt the
law.

Pennsylvanias corporate tax rate is 9.99 percent, but the 14
firms paid nowhere near that rate after deductions, according to
the study, which was conducted by the Institute on Taxation and
Economic Policy, a tax research group, and Citizens for Tax Jus-
tice, a tax advocacy group, both located in Washington, D.C.

The Securities and Exchange
Commissionhas fileda civil com-
plaint against a Clarks Summit
man, alleging he conspired with
others tobilk13peopleout of $2.1
millionbyofferingabogus invest-
ment opportunity.
Frank Pavlico, 41, is accused of
offering investors an investment
heclaimedwouldprovidereturns
up to 20 times their investment
within45 days.
The problem, regulators say, is
the investment was entirely ficti-
tious. Pavlicoandaco-defendant,
Brynee K. Baylor, a Washington,
D.C., attorney, instead used the
money to pay for lavish purchas-
es, including cars andvacations.
The complaint, filed Nov. 30 in
federal courtinWashington, D.C.,
comes roughly two years after
Pavlico completed serving a 10-
monthfederal prisonsentenceon
charges he helped reputed mob-
ster William Billy DElia, for-
merly of Hughestown, conceal
the source of hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars of drug money.
In a separate matter, Pavlico
was indicted Wednesday by a
grand jury in South Carolina on a
criminal charge of wire fraud re-
lating a bogus investment he of-
feredthere. ItwasnotclearThurs-
day whether the South Carolina
caseisrelatedtothecomplaint fil-
edinWashington, D.C.
The SEC complaint says Pavli-
co, who identified himself to in-
vestors as Frank Lorenzo, offered
the bogus investments through
The Milan Group, a company he
ranout of his home. Baylors firm,
Baylor & Jackson, aided the
scheme by acting as an escrow
agent for the MilanGroup.
Though it alleges misappropri-
ationof funds, theSECcomplaint
is a civil, not a criminal matter. It
wasfiledwiththepurposeof seek-
inganinjunctiontopreclude Pav-
lico and Baylor from continuing
to offer the allegedly fraudulent
investments.
It could not be determined if
the U.S. Attorneys Offices inHar-
risburg or Washington, D.C., are
investigatingwhethertofilecrim-
inal charges. Spokespersons for
the two offices did not return
phone messages Wednesday.
According to the SEC com-
plaint:
Beginning inAugust 2010, Pav-
licoandBaylor fooledunsophisti-
cated investors into giving them
money for investment products
that did not exist by utilizing
vague and complex terms to de-
scribe the investments.
The SEC claims Pavlico and
Baylor never had any intention of
investingthemoneyorpayingthe
promised returns. Instead, Pavli-
co used the funds to buy cars
while Baylor made purchases at
luxurystores andpaidfor atripto
the Bahamas.
Pavlicocouldnotbereachedfor
comment. Baylor didnot returna
phone message left at her office.
A federal judge granted the
SECs motionfor apreliminaryin-
junction. A hearing to determine
whether the injunction will re-
maininplace is set for Dec. 19.
IntheSouthCarolinacase, Pav-
licowas releasedfromcustodyon
Tuesday after posting a $75,000
bail bond. Pavlico must wear an
electronic monitor and make his
employer andclients aware of the
pending charges.

EDWARDSVILLE An officer
poked with a syringe while
searching a vehicle driven by a
heroin user in June is doing OK
and remains on patrol, Police
Chief David Souchick said
Wednesday.
Officer Ryan Mahovich was
stuck with the needle hidden in
the seat of a vehicle operated by
Theodore J. Simko, 24, on U.S.
Route 11 on June 18.
Mahovich on Tuesday charged
Simko with driving under the in-
fluence of heroin and assault in-
volving the syringe.
Mahovich could not be reac-
hed for comment on Wednesday.
Souchick said Mahovich was
treated at Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital after he was stuck with
the needle.
He was tested and treated,
and nothing was found; every-
thing came back OK, Souchick
said.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Mahovich investigated two
people using narcotics in a vehi-
cle in the West Side Mall parking
lot. When Mahovich arrived, he
spotted the unattended vehicle
with numerous syringes and a
heroin packet inside.
Mahovich kept watch and no-
ticedSimko, of Harding, andJean
Daniels, 43, of Larksville, exiting
a store and leaving in the vehicle.
Simkowas stoppedonRoute11
and appeared disoriented and
had a bloody mark on his arm in-
dicating he injected a substance
into his body, the complaint says.
Mahovich searched the vehicle
and was poked in his hand by a
syringe hidden between the driv-
er and passenger seat.
Police said in the complaint
that Daniels told another officer
she was diagnosedwithHepatitis
B.
Simko told police Daniels
called him for a ride to the store
in exchange for heroin, the com-
plaint says.
Simko and Daniels were
charged with simple assault with
a hypodermic needle, criminal
conspiracy to commit simple as-
sault, possession of a controlled
substance, possession with in-
tent to deliver a controlled sub-
stance and possession of drug
paraphernalia. The charges were
filed with District Judge Paul Ro-
berts in Kingston.

WASHINGTON Demo-
crats backed away from their de-
mand for higher taxes on mil-
lionaires as part of legislation to
extend Social Security tax cuts
for most Americans on Wednes-
day as Congress struggled to
clear critical year-end bills with-
out triggering a partial
government shutdown.
Republicans, too, sig-
naled an eagerness to
avoid gridlock and ad-
journ for the holidays.
With a bipartisan $1 tril-
lion funding bill blocked
at the last minute by
Democrats, GOP law-
makers and aides floated
the possibility of a back-
up measure to run the
government for as long
as two months after the
money runs out Friday at
midnight.
With time beginning
to run short, Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., met
with President Barack Obama at
the White House, then returned
to the Capitol and sat down with
the two top Republicans in Con-
gress, Speaker John Boehner
and Sen. Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky.
Taken together, the develop-
ments signaled the end game for
a year of divided government
with a tea party-flavored major-
ity in the House and Obamas al-
lies in the Senate that has
veered from near-catastrophe to
last-minute compromise repeat-
edly since last January.
The rhetoric was biting at
times.
We have fiddled all year long,
all year, McConnell complained
in a less-than-harmonious ex-
change on the Senate floor with
Reid. He accused Democrats of
routinely setting up votes de-
signed to divide us ... to give the
president a talking point out on
the campaign trail.
Reid shot back
that McConnell had
long ago declared
Obamas defeat to
be his top priority.
And he warned that
unless Republicans
show a willingness
to bend, the country
faces a government
shutdown that will
be just as unpop-
ular as the two that
occurred when
Newt Gingrich was
House speaker
more than a decade
ago.
It was a reminder as if
McConnell and current Speaker
John Boehner of Ohio needed
one of the political debacle
that ensued for Republicans
when Gingrich was outmaneu-
vered in a showdown with for-
mer President Bill Clinton.
At issue now are three year-
end bills that Obama and leaders
in both parties in Congress say
they want. One would extend
expiring Social Security payroll
tax cuts and benefits for the
long-term unemployed, provi-
sions at the heart of Obamas
jobs program. Another is the $1
trillion spending measure that
would lock in cuts that Repub-
licans won earlier in the year.
The third measure is a $662 bil-
lion defense bill setting policy
for military personnel, weapons
systems and the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, plus national secu-
rity programs in the Energy De-
partment.
After a two-day silence, the
White House said Obama would
sign the measure despite initial
concern over a provision requir-
ing military custody of certain
terror suspects linked to al-Qai-
da or its affiliates. U.S. citizens
would be exempt.
The measure cleared the
House, 283-136, with a final vote
expected today in the Senate.
Officials said Democrats were
drafting a new proposal to ex-
tend the payroll tax that likely
would not include the million-
aires surtax that Republicans
opposed almost unanimously.
Republicans minimized the
significance of the move.
Theyre not giving up a whole
lot. The tax they wanted to im-
plement on business owners was
something that couldnt pass the
House and couldnt pass the
Senate, McConnell said in a
CNBC interview.
Jettisoning the tax could also
require Democrats to agree to
politically painful savings else-
where in the budget to replace
the estimated $140 billion the
tax would have raised over a dec-
ade.

WASHINGTONThe House
passeda massive $662billion
defense bill Wednesday night after
last-minute changes placatedthe
White House andensuredPresi-
dent BarackObamas ability to
prosecute terrorist
suspects inthe civilian
justice system.
The vote was 283-136
andreflectedthe strong
support for annual legis-
lationthat authorizes
money for the menand
womenof the military as
well as weapons systems
andthe millions of jobs
they generate inlaw-
makers districts.
The House vote came
just hours after the
administrationaban-
doneda vetothreat over
provisions dealingwith
the handlingof terror-
ismsuspects.
Negotiators an-
nouncedthe changes
late Monday, clearing
the way for White House
acceptance.
Ina statement, press secretary
Jay Carney saidthe newbill does
not challenge the presidents
ability tocollect intelligence,
incapacitate dangerous terrorists
andprotect the Americanpeople.
Specifically, the bill would
require that the military take
custody of a suspect deemedtobe
a member of al-Qaida or its affil-
iates andwhois involvedinplot-
tingor committingattacks onthe
UnitedStates. There is anexemp-
tionfor U.S. citizens.
House andSenate negotiators
addedlanguage that says nothing
inthe bill will affect existing
criminal enforcement andnation-
al security authorities of the FBI
or any other domestic lawenforce-
ment agency withregardtoa
capturedsuspect regard-
less of whether such...
personis heldinmilitary
custody.
The bill alsosays the
president canwaive the
provisionbasedonna-
tional security.
Uncertainty was a
major concernof FBI
Director Robert Mueller,
whoexpressedserious
reservations about the
detainee provisions.
Testifyingbefore the
Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee, Mueller saida coor-
dinatedeffort by the
military, intelligence
agencies andlawenforce-
ment has weakenedal-

WILKES-BARRE A city man convicted of
the beating of a Plymouth man in November
2010 was sentenced Wednesday by Luzerne
County Judge David Lupas to 11 to 22 years in
state prison.
Eric R. Hogan, 48, of Hill Street, was sen-
tenced on charges of burglary, aggravated as-
sault, simple assault and reckless endanger-
ment. He was found guilty by a Luzerne County
jury in October.
He has maintained his innocence, Hogans
attorney, Thomas Cometa said, adding Hogan
has said he would not disrespect a person with
such brutal actions, but extended his apologies
to Donald C. Skiff.
I dont know why it happened, Hogan said.
Im sorry.
Prosecutors say Hogan assaulted Skiff, of Ply-
mouth, causing severe head injuries. Shortly af-
ter the attack, Skiff was listed in unstable condi-
tion after his heart had stopped twice.
Police say Hogan encountered Skiff when Ho-
gan was allegedly running away from people
shooting at him in Plymouth, and knocked on
Skiffs door for help.
Cometa said during the trial that his client
was being chased by four men after being relo-
cated to a VISION homeless shelter in Ply-
mouth.
Shots were fired, Cometa said, with one graz-
ing Hogans leg, leading Hogan to try to find
refuge. Hogan went to the home of Skiff, and
told him about the chase.
Shortly after Hogan arrived at Skiffs home,
one of the men chasing him entered the home,
and assaulted Hogan and Skiff.
Cometa said a post-sentence motion and ap-
peal will be filed regarding the conviction and
sentencing.
Skiff did not speak before Hogans sentencing
Wednesday and became emotional and was com-
forted by family members.
Skiffs son, Donald T. Skiff, was found beaten
to death in June 2009 in a secluded area off Sus-
con Road in Jenkins Township.
Michael Simonson, 34, and Elvis Riccardi, 33,
were charged with the younger Skiffs death and
are both serving life sentences in state prison.

State grants announced Wednesday will
give a boost to area parks and trails.
Luzerne County agencies and munici-
palities will get $748,000 of $31.5 million
statewide that targets recreation, conser-
vation and community revitalization pro-
grams. The big winner locally is the An-
thracite Scenic Trails Association, which
nabbed two grants totaling $320,000.
That is wonderful news, association
president Judy Rimple said when told
about the grant. The association has devel-
oped five miles of trail and hopes to soon
connect to the Dallas School District cam-
pus, allowing students to walk and bike to
class via the trail system.
The association won a $300,000 grant
for further development of approximately
three miles of the Back Mountain Trail,
according to a state press release. A sepa-
rate $20,000 grant will help pay for a feasi-
bility study ondeveloping10 more miles as
set out in the master plan, which envisions
a trail stretching to Harveys Lake.
Rimple credited Executive Director Ju-
lie McMonagle for getting the grant.
Other grant recipients in Luzerne Coun-
ty:
Fairview Township, $8,000 to prepare
a Master Site Development Plan for the
16-acre Memorial Park, and a feasibility
study on the idea of connecting the park to
a linear greenway.
Nanticoke city, $60,400 -- for further de-
velopment of Greater Nanticoke Area Rec-
reation Park that calls for a pavilion, park-
ing improvements, pedestrian walkway,
observation area, rain garden, Americans
with Disabilities Act access, removal of in-
vasive plant species, landscaping, signage
and installation of other amenities.
Susquehanna Warrior Trail Council,
$320,000 -- for development of about four
miles of the Susquehanna Warrior Trail
along U.S. Route11fromGarden Drive, Sa-
lem Township and Plymouth Township to
Lower Road, Larksville. The money will
pay for design, construction, information
kiosks, ADA access, landscaping and sig-
nage
West Wyoming Borough, $40,000 for
rehabilitation and further development of
Charney Park, including construction of
pedestrian walkways, installation of play
equipment, fencing, ADAaccess, landscap-
ing and signage.

DALLAS TWP. Without a job
to go to after the September flood-
ing, many of Eric Mays employees
still showed up for work.
Five of the convenience stores,
gas stations and Dunkin Donuts
franchises he and his father, Jay,
and sister, Heather Bower, operate
sustained approximately $1.5 mil-
lion in damage when the Susque-
hanna River reached record levels
and pushed muddy water back in-
to the streams and creeks that feed
it.
But within two months all the
damage was repaired, the shelves
stocked and the Pen Fern Oil Co.
and Pen Mart Inc. stores cleaned
and reopened thanks to the em-
ployees May thanked Wednesday
night with awards at the compa-
nies holiday party at Newberry
Estates.
We always told our em-
ployees we would never
ask you to do a job we
wouldnt do ourselves,
said May, the president of
the companies.
I never asked them to
do anything. They just
kept coming back.
Carol Morris of Ashley
worked for the family for
three years and had been
manager of the West Nan-
ticoke store for only two
weeks when it got hit. Her
store was open after 53
days.
It feeds my kids, Mor-
ris said of her work. She li-
kened the company to a big family.
The Shickshinny store where
Sonja Sprague works took on 5
feet of water. It took19 days to reo-
pen it.
It was amazing what she did in
such a short amount of time, said
May as he handed her one of the
engraved glass awards for leader-
ship.
Sprague, an 11-year employee
from Shickshinny, appreciated the
recognition. Its my
family, she said, ex-
plaining why she put so
much effort into the
clean-up.
May also singled out
Joe Patton, Lorrayne La-
velle and Mary Knolles-
for their work.
Their commitment
and time helped open
the Tunkhannock store
in four days, the West
Pittston store in 38 days
and the Wyalusing store
in 49 days.
In addition to the man-
agers, May recognized
20 other employees and
seven vendors.
You did some of the dirtiest,
filthiest, back-breaking work that
anyone could imagine, said May.
Mays father praised his children
for their guidance in getting the
businesses back in operation. He
also gushed about the employees.
I dont think any company in
Northeastern Pennsylvania could
come close to what we did, he
said.

A bill that sets penalties for
theft of veterans grave mark-
ers has moved out of commit-
tee and will be taken up by the
state House.
The markers are increasingly
being stolen and sold for scrap.
During debate of H.B. 2032
in the House Judiciary Com-
mittee this week, state Rep. Ta-
rah Toohil, R-Butler Township,
managed to include legislation
addressing the thefts of mark-
ers from veterans burial sites.
The Judiciary Committee
passed the measure 24-1, send-
ing the proposal to the full
House for a vote.
The bill, sponsored by state
Rep. Daryl
Metcalfe, R-
Butler County,
establishes pe-
nalties de-
pending on
the value of
stolen sec-
ondary metal
from business-
es. Secondary metal is defined
in the bill as wire and cable
commonly used by communi-
cations and electrical utilities.
Toohil said she included the
veterans grave markers in the
measure during the commit-
tees debate.
The number of thefts cases
involving metal grave markers
has been on the increase re-
cently in Luzerne County and
throughout northeast Pennsyl-
vania, Toohil stated in a news
release. My hope is that harsh-
er penalties will act as a deter-
rent to this despicable crime.
Our veterans have served our
country bravely and died for
us. It is our duty to protect
their final resting places and
make sure their memories are
honored.
Metcalfes bill has 19 co-
sponsors in the state House
and was introduced on Nov. 28.
A similar bill sponsored by
state Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-
Newport Township, has not
moved from the House Judici-
ary Committee since he intro-
duced it on Aug. 10.
Mullerys proposal, H.B.
1809, which has 67 co-spon-
sors, is drafted to make theft of
property from cemeteries a
third-degree. The maximum
penalty under Mullerys mea-
sure is seven years in prison
upon conviction of cemetery
property.
Mullery drafted his bill after
more than 150 veterans grave
makers were discovered stolen
from three cemeteries in New-
port Township earlier this
year.
Grave theft

State measure would penalize
anyone caught stealing
veterans grave markers.

Sugar Notch councilman
criticizes landlord law
I
n 2010, a zoning hearing board in Sugar
Notch ruled that I was running an illegal
boarding house, so I had to evict my two
roommates. The board did this despite a
zoning code clause that allows up to four
unrelated people to share a dwelling unit.
This year, the Sugar Notch council has
been trying to adapt a 22-page copy of a
landlord/tenant ordinance that was recent-
ly passed by Berwick; I helped reduce the
law down to eight pages.
My final suggestion was to include the
clause on page 16 of the Berwick law,
which defines owner-occupied dwelling
units. This section allows up to two pay-
ing roommates per family.
The council would not put it into the
eight-page version, with one council mem-
ber saying that they did not want to give
me an advantage. They also replaced the
short version with the original 22-page
version, still without the owner-occupied
clause in it, for obvious reasons.
Thus, the council apparently is more
concerned in making sure that I will lose
my appeal to Commonwealth Court than
to recognize and regulate the people in
town who live with someone other than
family.
This seems like vengeance along with a
fear of exposing the hearing boards ruling
against my roommates for what it really is:
persecution.

Dallas district taxpayers
ignored by school board
T
he Dallas School Districts taxpayers
got a big slap in the face Monday at the
monthly meeting of the Dallas School
Board.
Taxpayers, football players, former play-
ers and parents voiced their support for
Ted Jackson Sr. to be retained as head
football coach. Also, petitions with more
than 500 signatures in support of Jackson
were given to the board.
All were ignored by the boards mem-
bers, with one exception, Dr. Bruce Goer-
inger.
The board majority sided with the super-
intendent, high school principal and athlet-
ic director, whose salaries are paid by the
taxpayers. It just goes to show that the
taxpayers in the Dallas School District
have no say. Our voices fell on deaf ears.
Maybe its time to take a look at the
administrators and see what is really going
on.

K
AS THE bleary-eyed bloke
who unwisely offered to
work on the legislative
redistricting maps that The
Times Leader published this
week, I confess that scruti-
nizing the new boundaries
left me befuddled.
What is it about the little borough of Ash-
ley that requires slicing Hanover Township
with a julienne mandolin blade so one state
representative can have the borough while
another has the surrounding township?
On what planet does it make sense to have
my hometown of West Hazleton represented
by Newport Townships Gerald Mullery
while Hazleton is in the hands of Butler
Townships Tarah Toohil? The homes of
those two state reps are separated by a
mountain; Hazleton and West Hazleton are
separated by a street called Boundary
any other name, and no one would know
where one municipality ends and the other
begins.
I thought about seeking answers from the
politicians who concocted this mishmash,
but realized that would be like asking cows
why they chew cud. So I invited two experts:
Gerry Mander, a political guru, and Rory
Schach, a famed interpreter of ink blots. Mr.
Mander, Mr. Schach, welcome.
GM: Sorry Im late. I came up from Potts-
ville and had to wind through Carbon, Mon-
roe and Lackawanna counties before turning
south to get to Wilkes-Barre.
Me: But you could have taken Interstate 81
almost all the way straight up. Why the de-
tour?
GM: What detour? I took the most direct
route through U.S. Rep Tim Holdens new
congressional district!
RS: Interesting. I look at a map of that new
district and see a horned centaur with a fat
butt leaping forward while glancing behind!
GM: I dont know what youre talking
about. Its a perfectly logical grouping of
contiguous voting citizens who have the
same local interests and happen to live in all
or parts of six counties.
RS: I see a tipped glass of milk spilt across
half the state.
Me: Can one of you explain the sense in
splitting West Hazleton and Hazleton into
separate districts for the state House of Rep-
resentatives?
GM: Come on, youre a native; you know
the two are worlds apart! Remember those
bitter sports rivalries between the Hazleton
Mountaineers and West Hazleton Wildcats?
They made Potter versus Voldemort look like
a petty squabble!
RS: I think I see Lord Voldemorts face in
these maps
Me: The high schools merged in 1993. In
fact, all the students now go to a building in
Hazle Township a municipality which,
incidentally, was split in two, apparently so
you could connect West Hazleton to Larks-
ville via half of Wright Township.
RS: I see a playful puppy sitting up and
begging happily, although a chunk of its belly
appears to have been sliced away.
GM: That district is the result of fair and
legal reapportionment to assure all residents
have effective representation.
Me: It looks as if youre jiggering the
boundaries to protect Republican incum-
bents in the next election.
RS: I see a butterfly stuffing a ballot box.
Me: I mean, the former map had a sliver of
Hanover Township in District 121 just so
Ashley could be connected to it while the
rest of the township was in District 119. Now
you flipped it, so the township is in 121 ex-
cept for a sliver that connects Ashley to
Plymouth, allowing you to put Ashley in
with 119.
GM: Ashley simply had more in common
with Wilkes-Barre, until it had more in com-
mon with Nanticoke. Why is that so hard to
understand?
RS: No, wait its not Voldemorts face; it
looks more like Senate Majority Leader
Dominic Pileggi . Or is it state Rep. Mike
Turzai I know, its an elephant!
It certainly is, a white one. And taxpayers

get stuck with political chicanery every 10
years.

ASTMARCH, THEEn-
vironmental Protection
Agency offered a plan
toenact thefirst nation-
al controls on mercury and oth-
er airborne toxics generated by
electricutilities. Sincethen, cor-
porate polluters have used stall
tactics and shell games to block
the rules.
The EPA is under a court-or-
dered deadline of this Friday to
make the new rules final. Regu-
lators must hold tight to the sci-
ence behindtheir recommenda-
tions, and keep public health
ahead of politics.
Pennsylvania has the nations
second-largest mercury emis-
sions, after Texas. Two coal-
fired power plants, Keystone in
Armstrong County and Cone-
maugh in Indiana County, are
amongthetop25mercuryemit-
ters in the country, according to
the Environmental Defense
Fund.
The new controls would be
expensive, but soarethehidden
costs that power plants pass on
to those who ingest mercury, a
potent toxin that attacks the
brain and central nervous sys-
tem.
Mercuryis especiallyharmful
to young mothers and children.
As it falls from the sky and set-
tles on large bodies of water,
mercurycontaminates fish. The
newformcreatedinthe water is
many times more acute than
what comesout of smokestacks.
The EPA estimates its new
standards will cut emissions by
91 percent, and prevent 17,000
premature deaths a year.
Pennsylvania officials can
show leadership on this critical
issue by supporting federal
rules that protect public health
over the financial interests of
large corporations.

OTHER OPINION: AIR EMISSIONS
Waiting on EPA

Y
ES, MANY OLDER
drivers are among the
safest motorists on
the road.
And yes, a teenager with a
big engine and an inflated
sense of invulnerability is like-
ly a greater threat behind the
wheel than is your typical se-
nior citizen.
But the facts and plain
common sense suggest that
sooner or later we needto have
this talk. And so will everybo-
dy else. If youlive longenough,
the day will come when you
should no longer drive a car.
Trouble is, while many older
drivers modify their behavior
on the road avoiding night
driving or speedy freeways, for
example too many dont real-
ize theyve reached the point
where they shouldnt be be-
hind the wheel any more.
Older drivers can become
dangerous as their faculties
fade. A 1997 federal study
found that although older peo-
ple made up only 9 percent of
thepopulation, theyaccounted
for 14 percent of traffic fatali-
ties.
Now, there might be other
more general health factors
that account for higher fatali-
ties among older drivers,
Wayne Haper, director of the
Center For Traffic Safety in
York County is quick to cau-
tion. But while hes reluctant to
suggest a problem with older
drivers in general, Harper ac-
knowledges that eventually
hearing and eyesight fade, re-
actiontimes lengthenanddriv-
ers just arent as safe as they
once were.
In Pennsylvania, age isnt a
factor in getting or keeping a
drivers license so its up to in-
dividual drivers to ensure they
are safe on the road. One of the
best ways, the experts say, is to
enroll in older driver classes
that teach changes in the laws
of the roadwayas well as strate-
gies for seniors to help them
cope with changing vision,
hearing and reaction times.
Under state law, medical
providers must notify Penn-
DOT of conditions that im-
pede the ability to drive safely,
and police officers can recom-
mend testing of motorists they
suspect are unable to drive
safely.
But sometimes that sad task
is left to family members, who
can contact the Bureau of Driv-
er Licensing, which will then
investigate the situation.
Yes, reporting a parent un-
der thosecircumstances canbe
difficult. But there was a time
when we all relied on parents
to keep us out of dangerous sit-
uations. It might not be easy,
but sometimes, were called
upon to return the kindness.

OTHER OPINION: OLDER DRIVERS

having conditions that keep
them from driving safely, con-

torepair boththe fire stationand
the spirits of those who have ex-
perienced effects of the flood.
Some of these people just
think, Weve had enough, said
Rinehimer, sittinginhishomeon
Poplar Street surrounded by
building supplies. They need a
reason to move forward.
Personal hardships, too
Of the 25 volunteers, 75 per-
cent have experienced signifi-
cant damagetotheir ownhomes.
Nevertheless, many staffed the
firehouse during the flood, serv-
ing hot meals and providing fel-
lowship to others affected by the
flood.
But the morale of the fire-
fighters is now also becoming a
concern, said volunteer fire-
fighter Lee Beatty of Nanticoke.
He said that because of exten-
sive firehouse damage, volun-
teers are not able to gather so-
cially and provide support for
each other in the face of adversi-
ty.
Beatty, who also served as a
volunteer in New York City dur-
ing the events of Sept. 11, 2001,
compared the experiences of the
victims of both tragedies. Beatty
said although the events of 9/11
were certainly on a larger scale
thanrecent area flooding, the ex-
periences of the victims of the
events were similar.
Victims experience devasta-
tion and are in need of both emo-
tional and financial assistance,
saidBeatty, anativeof NewYork.
Shawn Souder, Nanticoke, a
volunteer at the firehouse, ex-
pressed concern for those who
benefited fromprograms and ac-
tivities that normally took place
at the firehouse.
For example, we have had to
suspend our cadet program,
which provided opportunity for
young people 15 and older to
come to the firehouse and get to
know the firefighters and to be
introduced to basic firefighting
concepts, Souder said.
Cadet training on hold
Souder also indicated the ca-
det program was an opportunity
for the volunteers to instill val-
ues in young men. He said he
hopes the program will be soon
up and running again in order
to provide that service to the
community.
Gale Conrad, chairwoman of
the Plymouth Township Board
of Supervisors, which oversees
the Tilbury firehouse, also said
her heart goes out to residents of
that area who are still working to
repair their homes.
These people have been
working for a long time, said
Conrad, and their homes and
their lives are still not back to
normal. They are tired.
Conrad anticipates that by
springtime, a spirit of hope will
return to the area, as homes will
be repaired and a feeling of nor-
malcy returns. She lauded area
residents for their concern for
others during the flooding, re-
membering residents reached
out to offer others such items as
clothes and toys, despite their
own loss.
Still, the financial needs of the
station remain. The entire first
floor still needs major repairs to
be functional again. Volunteers
want to fully serve their commu-
nity and to be able to utilize the
firehouse to host annual events
andas ahavenfor thevolunteers.
It takes a special sense of ser-
vice, says Beatty, to run into a
fire when others are running
out.
It is with this sense of service
the volunteers look forward to
their firehouse again being com-
plete and fully functional.
The fire station is not going
anywhere, no matter what hap-
pens, said Rinehimer. We will
continue to serve both in the ar-
eas of fire and rescue, and as ser-
vants of our community.
This year especially, saidthe
chief, we could really use some
help.

votes, Pashinski said. Now hes
going to try to ramrod it through
because were into the Christmas
season and the Legislature is set
to recess for the holidays.
SB1 attempts to put into law
major reforms touted by Gov.
Tom Corbett: creation of a state
school voucher program that
wouldallowtaxdollars tobeused
to send students to private
schools, simplification of the ap-
proval process to open charter
schools, which are public schools
free of many state regulations,
and expansion of the Education
Improvement Tax Credit, which
givesbusinessesataxbreakwhen
theycontributemoneytoscholar-
ship funds for private schools.
The amendments to SB560 of-
fer variations on those proposals.
Proponents argue those moves
would create competition for
publicschools, spurringimprove-
ment, and would give students
enrolled in underperforming
schools the chance toattenda dif-
ferent school of their choice.
Critics counter that private
schools receiving public money
wont be held to the same ac-
countability standards as public
districts, and the real solution is
to improve the existing public
schools so all students benefit,
not just those able to transfer out
of the most unsuccessful schools.
The amendments to SB560
added to the criticism. Paul She-
mansky, spokesman for the local
branch of the Pennsylvania State
Education Association, the
states largest teachers union,
said the union believes this is no
way to do school reform, when
you add 100 pages of amend-
ments and legislators dont even
have time to read it before vot-
ing.
Pashinski also criticized the
rush to vote on amendments
barely 24 hours old, contending
the majority of Republicans were
deliberately trying to use the
threat of staying in session next
week as a way to force a vote.
MyvoteisnowhetherImhere
tomorrow or Im here on Christ-
mas Day, he said.
Becausethis wouldhavebeena
Senate bill amended in the
House, if SB560 was approved in
the House with the changes, it
would have had to go back to the
Senate for a newvote.
PSEA released a statement ac-
knowledging the amendments to
SB560 offered some improve-
ments to SB1, but arguing the
changes are still a step in the
wrong direction. Taxpayer-fund-
ed tuition vouchers are unconsti-
tutional, not proventosuccessful-
ly increase student achievement,
and are too costly given the cur-
rent economic environment, the
statement said.
BILL
elsewhere as jobs created, re-
quire decent salary for the new
jobs and offer health care cover-
age for the new employees.
Each program could score up
to 100 points, with another 25
points in extra credit for meet-
ing additional criteria. The
scores were averaged for all the
programs in a state and the aver-
age was translated into a letter
grade with a high of A+ of 97 or
more points.
In Pennsylvania, the study
looked at the Film Production
Tax Credit, which gives tax
breaks of up to 25 percent to film
production companies; the Job
Creation Tax Credit, which gives
a tax break of $1,000 per job for
companies that increase employ-
ment; the Keystone Opportunity
Zone program, which offered a
variety of tax breaks in exchange
for property development; the
Opportunity Grant Program,
which companies could use to
expand in or relocate to the
state, and the Research and De-
velopment Tax Credit worth up
to 20 percent of a companys in-
crease in R&D spending.
The Film Production and Re-
search and Development pro-
grams scored a scant 10 each be-
cause of limited job creation re-
quirements, but have no require-
ments in the other categories.
The Job Creation and Opportu-
nity Grant programs scored 60
and 50 respectively, thanks to
strong rules on how many jobs
must be created and good wage
requirements. The KOZ program
met none of the goals set in the
report.
State Rep Eddie Day Pashin-
ski, D-Wilkes-Barre, agreed that
the KOZ program is too lax in
the requirements for those who
enroll in it. The program ex-
empts companies from property
taxes for years typically a dec-
ade in hopes of enticing devel-
opment.
But Pashinski said there arent
enough strings attached to the
tax break. I always felt we need-
ed to change the requirements so
that anyone who got a KOZ prop-
erty needed to have more defin-
itive timelines.
For example, he said, they
should be required to have clear
plans and construction drawings
approved by the end of the first
year, with construction begun by
the end of the second year.
The KOZ tax credits in many
instances have been misused,
Pashinski said. Not all of them,
but some that have been granted
have not developed a property or
created one job.
Pashinski said the filmproduc-
tion program has generated sub-
stantial business in the Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh areas, likely
proving its worth, and the Re-
search and Development pro-
gram had also been successful.
Statewide, its a lot of money.
The film tax credits will cost $75
million next year, according to
the report, making it the most
expensive of the five programs.
The other costs are $22.5 million
for the Job Creation Tax Credit
program, $18.7 million for the
KOZ program, $25 million for
the Opportunity Grant program,
and $40 million for the Research
and Development program.

Raised by missionary parents, Tebow

And hes sharing his religious beliefs

he yells the cadence at the line of scrim-

when Tebow shared Proverbs 27:17

PLAINS TWP. As the Dis-
trict 2 Athletic Committee ren-
dered a 5-3 decision Wednesday
allowing Eugene Lewis to play
basketball for Meyers after
transferring from Wyoming Val-
ley West, his dad offered his
own conclusion.
Thank you, Jesus, boomed
Rev. Eugene Lewis Sr. from his
seat in front of the committee.
So Lewis will be wearing a
Meyers uniform tonight and
play in the Mohawks game at
Crestwood.
Im just really happy they
granted me eligibility and Im
just ready to start playing, said
Lewis, a Penn State recruit in
football who is also considered
one of the top basketball players
in the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence.
Im glad its done and over

sus Christ for getting my family
and myself through this whole
situation. Im upset it did occur,
but its something you have to
go through in life. This is one of
those things.

Lake-Lehman triumphs
FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
The Black Knights Jared James fends off Wyoming Areas Lou
Vullo during a fast break on Wednesday night at Lake-Lehman.
The Times Leader staff
returning regional qualifier and
one of the top grapplers in the
Wyoming Valley Conference
earned a first-period pin at 285 to
put his team ahead 18-0.
Freshman Bobby Hawkins
(106) and junior Ed Ciprich (120)
sandwiched decisions around a
Honesdale forfeit to take a com-
manding 30-0 advantage.
I though (Ciprich) would get
six for us there but a wins a win.
Its better thanlosing, Stahl said.
Abunch of guys looked good for
us.
But the Hornets were still
mathematicallyinthe dual if they
won the remaining seven bouts
and earned enough bonus points.
Honesdale reeled off three
straight wins totrimthe deficit to
30-17 and make the score inter-
esting.
Mark Meloro, a 145-pounder
for the Crusaders, added the key
victory knocking off Chavez Lill
4-3 to give Coughlin a 33-17 lead
and secure the victory with three
matches left.
Troy Vannucci earned the final
victory of the night for the home
team with a fall in 4:40 at 170.
Although Stahl has a lot of new
faces this season, he still has guys
that were around last year and
have improved. Hes hoping that
the momentum gained from the
win will carry over for the rest of
the season.
Im proud of them. Theres al-
ways room for improvement.
Theres still some basic mistakes,
but thats why were down the
room everyday getting better.

Aday after Pittsburgh star Sid-
ney Crosby sat at his locker stall
in the Consol Energy Center and
told reporters he didnt feel right,
it created a ripple effect that was
felt throughout the organization.
When the news broke on Mon-
day that Crosby would be side-
lined indefinitely and forwards
Jordan Staal and Evgeni Malkin
were questionable to play Tues-
day, Pittsburgh recalled Jason
Williams from Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton to play against the De-
troit Red Wings that night. On
the same day, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton recalled Chris Barton
fromWheeling after he spent the
last two months tearing up the
ECHL.
Williams was returned to
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on
Wednesday, but Barton remains
with the team, anxious for his
first AHL action of the season.
His call-up, he said, wasnt ex-
actly a surprise.
You do keep an eye on things
inthe organizationandobviously
you keep an eye on injuries and
whats happened with Crosby,
Barton said. You have to be
ready to go if you do get that
break.
Barton, 24, came to Penguins
training camp as a tryout and had
an impressive showing. He was
amongthe final cuts whenhe was
sent to Wheeling on Oct. 5.
Since then Barton has been on
a tear. He led the Nailers in scor-
ing as well as all ECHL rookies in
points with 26 (15 goals, 11 as-
sists) in 21 games. The showing
earned Barton ECHL Rookie of
the Month honors for November
after hecompiledsevengoals and
eight assists in 10 games.
I dont know what happened
but everything I touched was just
going in, Barton said after
Wednesdays practice at Coal
Street. It helped that I was play-
ing with some pretty good play-
ers and I really enjoyed having
Stan (Drulia) as the coach down
there. I learned a lot from him.
But while Barton was putting
up the points in Wheeling, he al-
so had a return trip to Wilkes-
Barre in the back of his mind.
I felt like I made an impact
when I was here in training camp
and I knew they would be keep-
ing a close eye on me, he said. I
took a lot of confidence from my
training camp experience and
knewI just hadto work as hardas
I could to get back here.
Nowthat hes back, coach John
Hynes doesnt anticipate asking
Barton to change his game. He
compares Bartons success to
that of former Penguin Nick
Johnson, along withcurrent play-
ers BenStreet andNick Petersen.
All three spent time in Wheeling
early in their careers and put up
tremendous point totals before
replicating that success with the
Penguins.
Can Barton follow a similar
path?
Nowhe has tobringthat same
skill set to a higher level and
grow as a player, Hynes said.
Were not going to ask him to
change his role. What you bring
tothe tableyouwant tosee that
executedconsistently at eachlev-
el you go up.
So far, Barton has proven he
candojust that. After scoringat a
point-per-game pace during his
last two seasons with Merrimack
College, Barton continued the
torrid pace with Wheeling.
I dont knowwhat kind of role
they have in mind for me, but you
just want to play and help the
team, he said. Its basically the
nature of this business you get
called up and you do what youre
asked.
A H L
Rookie hopes to make most of call-up to Pens
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com Penguins notes
The Penguins held a split practice on Wednesday, with forwards
taking the ice first followed by defensemen.
Along with Jason Williams, Pittsburgh also sent down
defenseman Alexandre Picard on Wednesday.
G Brad Thiessens win on Tuesday against Binghamton was his
first victory since Dec. 2 and only the second in his last eight starts.
Thiessen allowed two goals on 24 shots against the Senators and
improved his goals against average to 2.48 and inched his save
percentage up to the .900 mark.
With Scott Munroe winning both of his starts this month, coach
John Hynes was glad to have each of his netminders back on track.
They both have stabilized their game, and now its about getting
to that consistently, Hynes said. Get a consistent game and
rotation going between the two of them.
reputation as a superior high
school athlete in the Wyoming
Valley Conference over the last
four years while verbally accept-
ing an offer to play football for
Penn State.
But hes also a star on the
basketball court, the leading
scorer for a Valley West team
that was favored to capture the
WVC Division I title this season.
Then the two sides fell out of
favor with each other.
Lewis father, the Rev. Eugene
Lewis Sr., left his job as a Valley
West volunteer basketball assist-
ant after a spat with Spartans
head coach George Reimiller
earlier this month. Shortly after
that, the younger Eugene Lewis
moved to Wilkes-Barre with his
dad who was transferred from
the First Baptist Church in
Wilkes-Barre to preside over the
First Church of Christ, right
around the corner from Meyers.
Before you knew it, Eugene
Lewis was enrolling at Meyers
for the final months of his senior
year.
All because Valley West drop-
ped the ball.
A move to a new school dis-
trict automatically meant a
move into a new school for the
kids.
At least, thats what Eugene
Lewis Sr. thought.
Lewis Sr. said when he in-
formed Valley West school offi-
cials he was moving his family
from Kingston to a South
Wilkes-Barre home accompany-
ing his new church, he wasnt
told definitively he could keep
his children enrolled at Valley
West.
He said he never learned the
PIAA allows athletes who began
a year at one school to remain
there participating in sports
until the end of that school year
even if they move out of the
district sometime in between.
We didnt know until we saw
it in the papers, said Lewis Sr.,
pointing out that by that time,
hed already transferred his son
to Meyers. That kind of blew
my mind. I was like, Really?
He was asked if it would have
made a difference in his son
staying at Valley West or leaving
if hed been informed of this
possibility from the start.
If Id have known that he
could stay, I would have said
yes, Lewis Sr. said. If they
would have explained that, I
would have said, Lets stay.
Because there is absolutely no
chance Eugene Lewis the kid
was looking for more fame and
fortune somewhere else.
The younger Lewis certainly
wasnt going to pick Meyers
over Valley West when it comes
to playing basketball. Because
as good as the Mohawks were in
winning the WVC Division II
last season, the Spartans were
everyones preseason pick to
capture Division I this season.
That wasnt even in my
mind, Eugene Lewis said.
Even at Valley West, I had a
great team there. They were just
as good (as Meyers). There was
no reason for me to choose
between the two.
Initially, Lewis never learned
from Valley West he had a
choice. If he did, he may have
never left.

school will appeal to the PIAA
Board of Directors. She referred
all questions to Superintendent
Charles Suppon, who wasnt at
the meeting or available for
comment.
If Valley West appeals and
wins, any games Meyers wins
with Lewis in the lineup will be
forfeited.
District 2 chairman Frank
Majikes said he expects to hear
from Valley West today about a
possible appeal.
Carbondale Principal Joseph
Farrell made a motion to grant
Lewis immediate eligibility and
it was seconded by School
Board Representative Eric Em-
merich. However, not all agreed
with the motion and Majikes
asked for a raise of hands for an
official count.
Farrell and Emmerich were
joined by three superintendents
Dallas Frank Galicki, Scran-
tons Bill King and Montroses
Mike Ognosky in voting in fa-
vor of Lewis.
Casting votes not to grant eli-
gibility were Hanover Area
Principal Chris Gegaris, West-
ern Wayne Principal Pat Shee-
han and Wallenpaupack Princi-
pal Jay Starnes.
Both schools asked for a
closed hearing, meaning the
media and anyone not part of
the proceedings had to leave
the room at Wilkes-Barre Area
Career & Technical Center. Af-
ter about an hour and 20 min-
utes of testimony, the eight
committee members met in ex-
ecutive session for about 45
minutes before coming to a con-
clusion.
Youre nervous and you
think it could go either way,
Lewis said. Im just glad it
went my way. They made the
right decision.
Majikes, Coughlin Principal
Pat Patte and Womens Official
Representative Maureen Wil-
liams didnt vote because they
are employed by the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District, of
which Meyers is a part. Holy
Redeemer Athletic Director Jim
Higgins also didnt vote because
there is a hearing next week for
the transfer of Alexis Lewis, Eu-
genes sister, from Valley West
to Redeemer.
Lewis Sr. said he told the
committee his story of going
from an NBA second-round
draft pick in 1989 (he went by
Junie Lewis then) to crack co-
caine addict. He didnt have Eu-
gene and Alexis in his life at
one point but reconnected after
beating his addiction.
I was ready to speak, Lewis
Sr. said with a broad smile.
Once they said take the floor, I
was like, I want the floor. But
it was tough. At one point, I
told my wife (Amy), Honey, be
prepared. They might not play
at all.
Lewis Sr. moved his family to
Wilkes-Barre on Dec. 1 after he
was appointed as the head pas-
tor at The First Church of
Christ a week earlier. He was
previously the assistant pastor
at the First Baptist Church in
Wilkes-Barre. He said he holds
no animosity toward Valley
West school officials.
I forgive them, Lewis Sr.
said, but its hard, what they
did is difficult because of the
fact of how loyal and dedicated
Eugene has been to them these
past four years. And to see
where God has taken me to and
theyre not recognizing that.
Lewis admitted it was tough
to leave Valley West, but he un-
derstood his fathers decision to
move the family.
I miss the people at Valley
West, I miss the players, Lewis
said. Ive been with them so
long and to make a decision like
this is definitely very, very hard.
After all Ive been though, I still
hope for the best for the Valley
West team because the guys on
that team are my best friends
and Ive been with them since
seventh grade.
Two of Lewis new Meyers
teammates Ryan Krawczeniuk
and Dominic Johnson showed
up and sat outside the hearing
room.
Thats great, Lewis said.
Im glad to have guys to sup-
port me and them coming here
shows you how people could be.
Im glad for the support I have.
LEWIS
going on in sport and our society,
I think its wonderful.
Others cringe.
Former Broncos quarterback
Jake Plummer said he likes Te-
bowbut wouldlike hima lot more
if he would quit reminding every-
body how much he loves Jesus
Christ.
No way, Tebow said, insisting
he isnt just a Christian or a be-
liever at church.
Many an athlete has used his
platform as a pulpit.
Chap Clark, a professor at Full-
er Theological Seminary, apromi-
nent evangelical school based in
California, said Tebows unortho-
dox route to success, after so
many predicted he would fail as a
quarterback, has set him and his
faith apart, even from the many
other athletes who talk about
their religious principles.
Timhas this ferocity as a com-
petitor, but its still a game tohim.
He is consistently saying that
football is not the center of life,
Clark said. His great strength is
that even people who dont agree
with his faith at all play their best
around him.
Tebow recently told The Asso-
ciated Press that he knows his
openness about his religion can
be divisive but he feels compelled
to share his story of salvation re-
gardless of the sensitivity of the
subject, and he relayed one of his
favorite quotes: I dont know
what my future holds, but I know
who holds my future, inshowing
how leans on his faith so he can
focus on football unencumbered
by others opinions.
To get me through? Without a
doubt, 100 percent, Tebow said.
And thats the thing about my
faith: its not just something that
happens when youre at church or
happens when youre praying or
reading the Scripture. Its part of
whoyouare, as aperson, as aplay-
er, in your life and everything.
Teammate Brian Dawkins,
whos equally enthusiastic about
sharing his Christianity, said he
cant fathom why anyone would
haveaproblemwithsomebodyin-
voking his right to free speech or
freedom of religion.
He doesnt pull up a pulpit in
the middle of the locker roomand
say, Hey, everybody, gather
round, let metell yousomething.
Thats nowhowthis thingworks,
Dawkins said. Its individual. If
someone asks a question, well
share our faithandour testimony.
I dont understand why its
such a big deal. Tebow, hes not
the first one, Reggie White, Irving
Fryar, there are many guys who
have lived their lives with outside
faith. But for whatever reason,
Tim gets so much grief now. To
this day, I dont understand it.
Football is what we do, not
who we are.
Amen to that, Tebow said.
The scrambler, whosometimes
sings hymns as he runs onto the
football field to stay calm in
crunch time, said he cant com-
partmentalize his faith because
its suchanintegral part of whohe
is.
Unfortunately, a lot of people
do, but what I feel is living your
faith and being genuine is in ev-
erything you do and thats foot-
ball, thats life, Tebow said.
So, hes not going to stop pray-
ing on the field or praising God in
public even if some find it offen-
sive.
Whether or not his teammates
share in his tenets, theres no de-
nying hes inspiring them.
He had everybody listening
when he spoke about the Pro-
verbs, linebacker Wesley Wood-
yard said. Just to see him get up
there and talk and believe in him-
self, thats somethingthat spreads
throughout the whole team. He
believes in himself, so we believe
in him.
Before a game against the Jets
last month, Tebow approached
Woodyard and cornerback
Champ Bailey, among others, to
share his faith.
He said God just came and
told himto just make sure that he
spreadsthewordandtell everybo-
dy, dont worry about a thing and
at the end of the day give credit to
God, Woodyard recounted.
Probably if anything I said,
Dont worry. Theres a plan for
whatever. Lets go and give our
heart out andbe the same no mat-
ter what. Lets give God the glory
win or lose and go lay our hearts
on the line, Tebow said. Thats
usually what I most often say,
something like that.
Its not like Tebowis proselytiz-
ing, inducing others to convert to
his faith, his teammates say.
The thingabout Tim, I respect
him, because hes never pushed
his religion off on anybody,
Woodyard said. He just goes out
there and believes in God himself
and shows it every day.

SAN FRANCISCO The
largest federal criminal investiga-
tion into sports doping began
more than nine years ago with a
tax agent digging through the
trash of the now notorious Bay
Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
Barring an appeal, the govern-
ments work comes to an anti-cli-
mactic end Friday when Barry
Bonds the probes highest-pro-
file catch is sentenced for ob-
struction of justice.
In between, the federal govern-
ment spent millions of dollars
and untold staff hours obtaining
the convictions of 11 people. Six
of them, including track star Ma-
rion Jones, were ensnared for ly-
ing to grand ju-
rors, federal in-
vestigators or
the court. Five
men, including
Bonds person-
al trainer Greg
Anderson,
pleaded guilty
to steroid distribution charges
stemming from their BALCO
connections.
The investigation in general
and the pursuit of Bonds in par-
ticular ignited a debate over
whether the governments long
involvement was the best use of
public resources.
More than seven years after he
testified before a grand jury in-
vestigating BALCO, Major
League Baseballs all-time home
runs leader was convicted on just
one of four remaining counts
against him. And the jury dead-
locked on whether Bonds lied
about taking performance en-
hancing drugs.
Now, federal sentencing guide-
lines suggest a prison term of be-
tween 15 months and 21 months.
But federal probation officers are
recommending that Bonds re-
ceive no time, citing his charita-
ble work, the nature of the crime
and his otherwise spotless crimi-
nal record. U.S. District JudgeSu-
san Illston has sentenced two
other BALCO figures convicted
of similar crimes to probation
and house arrest.
Was it all worth it?
It absolutely was, said Mac-
Gregor Scott, the former U.S. at-
torney for Sacramento, now in
private practice. It brought a fo-
cus and awareness to the steroids
issue that wasnt there before.
Scott said prosecutors had to
go after Bonds once they con-
cluded he lied to the grand jury
when he denied knowingly using
performance-enhancing drugs
and said he allowed only doctors
to inject him.
There arent two sets of laws,
one for Bonds and one for every-
body else, Scott said. The
grand jury is the bedrock of the
criminal justice system in the
United States.
The probe did lead directly to
former U.S. Sen. George Mitch-
ells in-depth investigation of
drug use in Major League Base-
ball and his seminal Mitchell Re-
port, which in turn prompted
MLB and its players union to
strengthen their steroids policy.
The trial itself ended ambigu-
ously in April about three weeks
after it began.
The jury concluded Bonds pur-
posely evaded responding during
testimony to a grand jury investi-
gating steroids distribution in
sports with a rambling non sequi-
tur to a question about drug in-
jections, and the jurors convicted
him of obstruction of justice.
But they couldnt reach a unan-
imous agreement on the heart of
the case, deadlocking on three
charges alleging Bonds lied to
the grand jury when he denied
knowingly using performance-
enhancing drugs and testifying
that nooneother thanhis doctors
ever injected him.
Despite the mixed verdict,
prosecutors insist Bonds lied.
The evidence at trial demon-
strated that Bonds went into the
grand jury with the intention of
providing false statements and
obstructing the grand jurys ef-
forts to get to the truth in the
BALCO matter, prosecutors
wrote last week seeking a prison
sentence of 15 months for the for-
mer slugger.
Without truthful testimony,
the judicial systemsimply cannot
function properly in its mission-
to get to justice.

BALCO, Bonds saga comes to quiet conclusion

SAN ANTONIO So dom-
inant was Penn State volleyball
that Florida State senior Rachael
Morgan never even heard of an-
other team in her native New
Zealand.
Illinois coach Kevin Hambly
said the Nittany Lions, whose
four consecutive NCAA titles are
unprecedented, deprived an en-
tire generation of college players
outside State College, Pa., the
feeling of being champions.
UCLAs Michael Sealy described
two of Penn States champion
teams as ridiculous.
Each said so Wednesday at the
NCAA semifinals where Penn
State wasnt for the first time
since 2006.
Its good for the NCAA that
possibly someone else could
win, Hambly said.
PennStatesreinof invincibility
ended in the regional finals,
brought down by UCLA for its
first postseasonlossinarecord26
matches. TheBruinsdidnt exact-
ly topple the Nittany Lions in
their prime: they rebuilt this sea-
son with underclassmen, and
evenrivalssayanotherPennState
streak may be on the horizon.
In the meantime, Illinois, Flor-
ida State, UCLA and USC arent
complaining.
Its funny, because Penn State
was the only school I really heard
of in America just because of vol-
leyball, said Morgan, who grew
up in Tauranga, New Zealand. " I
reallydidnt knowalot about any-
thing else. They were always on
that pedestal.
Florida State (28-6) plays
UCLA (28-6) on Thursday, fol-
lowed by USC (29-4) against Illi-
nois (31-4). The championship is
Saturday in the Alamodome.
The Seminoles are making
their national semifinals debut
and are the first ACC school to
make it this far. Illinois is another
relative newcomer, having not
played in the semifinals in 23
years.
I think a lot of us took a risk in
comingtoIllinoisinthat it didnot
have a great history, but we want-
ed to make teamhistory, Illinois
senior Michelle Bartsch said.
This was a good starting block
for the program.
The West Coast teams are an-
other story. Like Penn State, the
Bruins and Trojans are college
volleyball royalty, withsixnation-
al championships between them
since 1981. They are the favorites
to meet in the finals, yet Sealy
would barely let his players even
answer questions about the Tro-
jans on Wednesday.
I just feel like people are al-
readytryingtoset upsomeSouth-
ernCalifornia rivalry, Sealysaid.
It makes a great story, but I was
letting everyone know we came
here to play with one match, and
thats Florida State.

PSU loss gives new

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
The new president of the Ama-
teur Athletic Union said Wednes-
day the organization will give
complete access to two inde-
pendent task forces established
to review child safety protocols,
policies and procedures in the
wake of child sex abuse allega-
tions against the AAUs former
president.
The AAU announced the mea-
sures at its headquarters near Or-
lando, Fla. as Memphis police in-
vestigate decades-old child mo-
lestation allegations against ex-
president Robert Bobby Dodd.
ESPNreported Friday that two
former basketball players have
accused Dodd of molesting them
as children in the 1980s. One of
the players, 43-year-old Ralph
West, told ESPNs Outside the
Lines he was assaulted in Mem-
phis in 1984.
AAU president Louis Stout
said the AAU notified Memphis
police on Nov. 15 about three al-
leged victims after hiring a pri-
vate investigator to look into
anonymous emails andvoicemail
messages received by the AAU a
week earlier.
Weve opened up every proc-
ess to them, Stout said. ...We
did exactly as we were asked to
do.
Memphis police said that in-
vestigators aretryingtofollowup
allegations that Dodd molested
children, but they have not re-
ceiveda formal victimcomplaint.
Stout saidthe AAUhas severed
ties with the 63-year-old Dodd,
with the exception of about
$15,000 still owed him. No phone
number was listedat a Florida ad-
dress for Dodd, and it was not
clear whether he had consulted
an attorney.

allegations against Dodd
TEMPE, Ariz. Running
down a checklist of qualities for
a new football coach, Arizona
Stateathletic director Lisa Love
said she wanted someone who
was energetic, liked to play up-
tempo on offense and prefer-
ably had previous head-coach-
ing experience.
ToddGrahamseems to fit the
bill.
Arizona State plucked Gra-
hamafter oneyear at Pittsburgh
on Wednesday, hiring the 47-
year-old coach to replace Den-
nis Erickson, who was fired af-
ter five mediocre seasons.
Criteria for our head coach
was established, and the word
that was at the forefront of dis-
cussions was energy... energy
towards promoting our pro-
gram in the community and
with former players, Love said
in a statement. Energy to-
wards instilling discipline, lead-
ership and in recruiting. Energy
towards representing our brand
in every facet of the program. In
Todd, we have not only hired a
young and sitting head coach,
but one with a history of suc-
cess on the field and in hiring
top-notch assistant coaches.
Arizona State was looking for
someone to turn its program
around after it failed to live up
toexpectations under Erickson.
A two-time national cham-
pionship coach with Miami, Er-
ickson led the Sun Devils to the
2007 Holiday Bowl and was
named Pac-10 coach of the year.
Arizona State couldnt sustain
the momentum after that, fail-
ing to become bowl eligible the
next three seasons and founder-
ing down the stretch this year,
losing its final four games.
Erickson was fired on Nov.
28, though he will coach the
Sun Devils against Boise State
in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl
on Dec. 22.
After a couple of flirtations
with other established coaches,
Arizona State turned to Gra-
ham, who had been tabbed to
turn around Pitts program just
a year earlier.
Aformer assistant under new
Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez
at West Virginia, Graham had a
successful stint in his first year
as a head coach in 2006, leading
Rice to its first bowl appearance
in 45 years. He left the Owls af-
ter just one season for Tulsa,
where he led the Golden Hurri-
cane to the first back-to-back10-
win seasons in school history.
A defensive player and coach
coming up through the ranks,
Grahammade his mark with an
up-tempo offense that made
Tulsa a perennial Conference-
USA contender. The Golden
Hurricane twice led the nation
in total offense and his 2007
team set 29 school records, 15
conference marks and four
NCAA records, including the
largest margin of victory in a
bowl game, 63-7 over Bowling
Green in the GMAC Bowl.
Graham went 36-17 in four
seasons at Tulsaandledthepro-
gram to three bowl wins before
moving to Pittsburgh.
The Panthers forced Dave
Wannstedt out in 2010 after six
underachieving seasons and re-
placed him with former Miami
(Ohio) coach Mike Haywood,
who was fired less than three
weeks later after being arrested
on a domestic violence charge.
Pittsburgh then brought in
Graham after the bowl game.
Obviously this is not the way
we would have expected Mr.
Graham to handle any possible
departure, Pitt executive vice
chancellor and general counsel
Jerry Cochran said. Beyond
normal expectations with re-
spect to professional conduct,
he has failed to comply with the
terms of his contract.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Char-
lie Weis is guaranteed $2.5 mil-
lion annually over the course of
his five-year
deal with Kan-
sas, along with
incentives that
could push the
total over $3
million.
A copy of the
contract was
obtained
Wednesday by The Associated
Press.
Weis base salary is $230,000,
though he is also in line for an ad-
ditional $2.27 million in profes-
sional services rendered, which
includes educational, promotion-
al and public relations duties.
Last February, Weis signed a
three-year deal worth $2.495 mil-
liontobe Floridas offensive coor-
dinator. He was paid $765,000 in
2011.
The former Notre Dame coach
agreed to take over the Jayhawks
last week following the firing of
Turner Gill, who was 5-19 in two
seasons. Like Gill, who will be
paid the nearly $6 million left on
his contract, Weis will be paid in
full if he is fired before the five-
year term is complete.
Weis contract includes a
$50,000 bonus for winning five
Big 12 games, plus $10,000 for
each additional game, along with
$100,000 for a conference cham-
pionship, $50,000 for appearing
in a bowl game and $25,000 for
winning a bowl game. Hell make
$100,000 for appearing in a BCS
bowl game and $50,000 for win-
ning it, and double those totals if
its the national title game.
Weis will also make $50,000 if
hes voted the Big12 coach of the
year and $75,000 if hes voted AP
national coach of the year.
Weis deal
at Kansas
pays well

could top $3 million annually
on his 5-year contract.

PITTSBURGH Todd Gra-
ham came to Pittsburgh in Janu-
ary promising to revitalize the
Panthers.
No detail went overlooked,
from the mural he wanted paint-
ed in his office to the rope he
hung just inside the doors of the
team facility, the one the players
were required to touch on their
way in and out of the building to
remind them that theyre in this
together.
Eleven months later, the rope
remains, but Grahamis gone and
Pitt must rebuild. Again.
Grahams stunning resigna-
tion on Wednesday to take the
same position at Arizona State
left the administration stunned,
players angry and athletic direc-
tor Steve Pederson on his third
coaching search in a year.
I never imagined that we
would be where we are today at
thisparticular timetalkingabout
what weretalkingabout, Peder-
son said.
Defensive coordinator Keith
Patterson will serve as interim
coach when the Panthers (6-6)
play SMUin the BBVACompass
Bowl onJan. 7, bringingabout an
eerie case of deja vu.
Pitt beat Kentucky 27-10 inthe
same bowl a year ago, with Phil
Bennett serving as interim after
Dave Wannstedt was forced out
and replacement Mike Haywood
was fired after less than three
weeks onthe jobfollowinghis ar-
rest on a domestic violence
charge in Indiana. Graham was
hiredonJan. 10torestoreasense
of sanity to the program. He
preached accountability, speed
and talked relentless about how
the Panthers could contend for a
Big East title right away.
It never happened.
The high-octane offense
Graham brought with him from
Tulsa operated sporadically at
best and the team struggled to
put away opponents. Three
times Pitt let double-digit sec-
ond-half leads slip away, turning
a promising season into a frus-
trating one.
Obviously we have not ac-
complished what we set out to,
Graham said before the regular
season finale against Syracuse.
Less thanthree weeks later, he
was gone.
Grahamcalledtakingthejobat
Arizona State a family decision,
echoing the same words used
during his introductory press
conference with the Panthers.
The schools administration
had other words for his sudden
exit, disappointing being near
the top of the list.
Obviously this is not the way
wewouldhaveexpectedMr. Gra-
ham to handle any possible de-
parture, Pitt executive vice
chancellor and general counsel
JerryCochransaid. Beyondnor-
mal expectations with respect to
professional conduct, he has

16-0. It could happen.
Having won their first 13
games, and with three mediocre
opponents left on the schedule,
the defending Super Bowl cham-
pion Green Bay Packers will try
to do something no other Na-
tional Football League team has
done since the 1972 Miami Dol-
phins. Andthats goingundefeat-
ed, start to finish.
The Dolphins wonevery game
and added the NFL champion-
ship, going 17-0 overall. It took
another 35 years before there
was a true challenger, the 2007
New England Patriots, followed
by the 2009 Indianapolis Colts.
The pursuit of perfection,
however, poses a dilemma fi-
guring out if its worth the chase.
The Packers will need to de-
cide whether to stick with their
stars and other regulars or rest
them to prepare for the playoffs
and, hopefully, another Super
Bowl title.
Even within their own ranks,
there is uncertainty.
Theres risk every time you
take the field, says quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, the favorite to
win the NFLs Most Valuable
Player award. Were going to
keep playing the way were play-
ing.
Yet linebacker Clay Matthews
sees the value of playing it safe.
Were here to win ballgames,
but at the same time you dont
want to compromise peoples
health when it comes down to
trying to remain undefeated
whenyouhave your goals locked
up, he said during a recent in-
terview.
Already, theres a whiff of trou-
ble ahead.
Top receiver Greg Jennings
will miss two to three weeks
with a left knee sprain, but is ex-
pected back for the playoffs, and
two players sustained concus-
sions in last Sundays rout of
Oakland.
Awin Sunday against 5-8 Kan-
sas City, which just fired coach
ToddHaley, will givethePackers
home-field advantage through-
out the NFC playoffs. Although
they lost their most recent post-
season game at Lambeau Field
for the 2007 NFC title against
the Giants, generally the vener-
able stadium is a den of horrors
for visitors. Not having to visit
NewOrleans or San Francisco in
January is highly desirable for
the Pack.
Once theyve guaranteed that
scenario, the Packers challenge
becomes how to approach the
postseason. Their last two oppo-
nents, both at Lambeau, are divi-
sion rivals Chicago and Detroit.
Not only are both desperate to
grab a wild-card playoff spot,
theres likely to be a little more
incentive against the Packers.
Bears-Packers is the oldest ri-
valry in football, and the teams
will meet on Christmas night on
national TV.
Lions defensive tackle Nda-
mukong Suh was suspended two
games for stomping on Packers
guard Evan Dietrich-Smith in
their first meeting.
Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji
sees no benefit in holding back.
I know coach, he said, refer-
ring to Mike McCarthy. You
dont win a Super Bowl by being
scared. You just play. Thats the
message hes preaching. Just
play the game because its the
game. Thats the way youre sup-
posed to play it. Youre not sup-
posed to be playing a game and
looking at all of these scenarios
of whoyouwant toplay. General-
ly, if you do things the right way,
hopefully you get some luck in
the injury thing.
You have to respect the game
of football. Obviously, were in a
great position. Were 13-0. We
have a lot of things wrapped up.
But ultimately you never accom-
plish anything great by being
scared. We have an option to go
either way, but if you want to
make historyanddosome things
that havent been done in a
while, you have to take a
chance.
New England took the chance
in 2007, Indianapolis didnt in
2009. Bothgot totheSuper Bowl
and lost.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick
barely broached the subject of a
perfect season even while his
team was marching through its
schedule. It came up during
news conferences, but only
when he was asked about it. It
did not come up in team meet-
ings or during game-planning
sessions or during flights home
from the road. According to sev-
eral players from the 07 squad
that went 18-0 before being
stunned by the Giants in the Su-
per Bowl, Belichicks approach
never wavered.
Even when we were 12-0 and
14-0, he always preached finish-
ing what we started, finishing
the game, said former safety
Rodney Harrison, a defensive
leader in New England and now
an analyst on NBC.
Bill stressed each week im-
proving and becoming a better
football team, so he never really
discussed16-0. Instead, he point-
ed it out on tape what we can do
to get better.
Actually, the Patriots strug-
gled a bit in the final weeks of
2007, even as they were going
all-out. After routing virtually
everyone in the first half of the
schedule, they won three games
by a field goal down the stretch,
and neither playoff victory was
lopsided.
Still, theyve never questioned
the path they chose.
Pressure is self-inflicted. Its
how you handle it, veteran run-
ning back Kevin Faulk said. Its
what we deal with. Were profes-
sional athletes. Youre going to
be put in pressure situations.
You just did what you had to do
each and every week: go out
there and win a football game.
Wed like to win the Super
Bowl, Matthews said. Soif that
means winningeverygame, then
so be it.

Packers close in
on perfect year
By BARRY WILNER
ATLANTA The guys who
currently play for the Atlanta Fal-
cons findit a little hardtobelieve.
Nine wins used to be a big deal
for this franchise?
Really? I never knew that,
said defensive end Ray Edwards,
who signed with the Falcons be-
fore this season. I guess times
have changed.
Indeed, they have.
The Falcons (8-5) are on the
verge of their fourth straight win-
ning season heading into Thurs-
day nights game against Jackson-
ville (4-9). Not so long ago, that
sort of sustained success
wouldve seemed unimaginable.
Remember, this was a team
that went through its first four
decades inthe NFLwithout back-
to-back winning seasons.
Thats crazy, said defensive
tackle Corey Peters, whos in his
second season with the Falcons.
Since Ive been here, its all
about winning. The attitude is a
winning one.
Arthur Blank brought a level of
professionalism to the Falcons
when he purchased them, but
things really turned around in
2008 when he hired Thomas Di-
mitroff as general manager and
Mike Smith as coach.
Reeling from a dismal season
in which franchise quarterback
Michael Vick went to prison, At-
lanta quickly turned things
around under its new regime
with a surprising run to the play-
offs. After going 9-7 in 2009 but
missing the postseason, the Fal-
cons soared to 13 wins and the
NFC South title a year ago.
Now, anything less than a Su-
per Bowl championshipwouldbe
considered a disappointment.
Quarterback Matt Ryan said
the expectations have changed,
certainly, from where we were
four years ago. Thats what you
want. You want to be moving in
the right direction. You want ex-
pectations to be high.
Smith barely acknowledged
the chance to wrap up another
winning mark. Hes got a bigger
goal.
I havent even thought about
that, the coach said, chuckling.
The significance of this game is
were continuing to be in the con-
versation to be a relevant team
here in December. We want to
have sustainability, and I guess
one of the measuring sticks of
sustainability maybe at the
low end is winning seasons.
But theres other things on the
high end in terms of how you
measure your successes.
In a sign of how much the ex-
pectations have changed, the Fal-
cons actually consider this sea-
son a bit of a disappointment,
even though theyre leading the
NFCwild-card race and can wrap
up another trip to the playoffs by
winning their final three games.
Atlanta came into the season
rated as one of the leading Super
Bowl contenders, especially after
making a trade on draft day to
land receiver Julio Jones.
But the Falcons are unlikely to
win another division title and
have yet to play with the sort of
consistency they showed in 2010.
In a sense, last weeks victory
over Carolina epitomized the en-
tire season.
The Panthers raced to a 23-7
lead, but the Falcons were a dif-
ferent team after halftime. Ryan
threw three touchdown passes,
the defense came up with two
huge interceptions and Atlanta
rallied for a 31-23 victory.
Weve been trying to do that
all season long, Smith said. We
would like to continue to play
with the consistency we played
with in the second half of the
game in Charlotte. It was obvi-
ously much better than the first
half. Thats something weve
been striving for. Unfortunately,
were still having to have a con-
versation about it.
Falcons continue to be
strong NFC contender

PHILADELPHIA Mi-
chael Vick watched practice
from the sideline, still sore
from taking a beating in his
first game back after break-
ing his ribs last month.
Vick participated in a
walkthrough Wednesday
morning, but was a specta-
tor in the afternoon when
the Philadelphia Eagles be-
gan preparations for Sun-
days game against the New
York Jets.
Before practice, coach An-
dy Reid said hes confident
Vick would start against the
Jets (8-5). The Eagles are
still clingingtoplayoff hopes
despite a 5-8 record. Theyll
need Vick to be sharp this
week against one of the
toughest defenses in the
NFL.
He was a little tender
from the game (but) not as
bad as before, Reid said.
He was throwing the ball
out there.
Vick was sacked four
times and took several hard
hits in a 26-10 victory at Mia-
mi. He missed the three pre-
vious games after breaking
two lower ribs in a loss to
Arizona on Nov. 13.
Vick showedplenty of rust
against the Dolphins. He
completed just 15 of 30 pas-
ses and threw another inter-
ception. But he still made
enough plays to help lead
Philadelphia to a win that
temporarily kept them alive
in the NFC East race.
A Pro Bowl starter last
year, Vick has struggled this
season. Hes ranked 22nd
with a 78.9 passer rating,
and his12 interceptions dou-
ble his total fromlast season
and are one shy of his career
worst.
Well you have to give
credit to the defense, partic-
ularly on the tipped balls,
Reid said.
In some
situations,
yeah (hes
forcing the
ball) to get
things go-
ing. He
will tell
you that hes trying to make
things happen, but hes
made a lot of good throws,
too.
Despite Vicks mediocre
stats, Jets coach Rex Ryan,
likeother coaches anddefen-
sive coordinators around the
league, are wary of Vicks
unique skills.
He can throw a battle
ship through a strawberry,
Ryansaid. Thereis onlyone
Michael Vickinthis league, a
dynamic playmaker, can
make all the throws, strong
arm and the way he can
move is second to nobody.
Vick wont have an easy
time against New York. The
Jets have the sixth-ranked
defense andare sixthagainst
the pass. Their secondary
features two-time All-Pro
cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Hes a tremendous cor-
ner, the best corner in foot-
ball. Its not even close,
Ryan said. Nnamdi is an
outstanding corner. Samuel
is an outstanding corner.
They have a lot of talented
guys over there, but theres
only one Darrelle Revis.
On the other side, the Ea-
gles have three cornerbacks
that have failed to live up to
expectations. Nnamdi Aso-
mugha, Asante Samuel and
Dominique Rodgers-Cro-
martie havent exactly been
a shutdown trio.
Revis likely will match up
against DeSean Jackson, but
Ryan wouldnt commit to it.
Whoever we decide to
put himon, itll be a long day
for that individual, Ryan
said.

Turnpike gears for electrics
The state Department of Environ-
mental Protection on Wednesday an-
nounced a $1 million grant to Car
Charging Group LLC to help with
installation of electric vehicle charging
stations at 17 turnpike service plazas.
There will be Level II charging sta-
tions, which can charge a car in about
four hours, and Level III charging sta-
tions, which can charge a car in about
20 minutes.
The first phase of the work will be
incorporated into ongoing service plaza
renovations between Harrisburg and
New Jersey. Later phases will involve
service plazas between Harrisburg and
Ohio, and then along the Northeast
Extension. The project is expected to
be completed by June 2013.
Oil lease bids strong
The federal governments first auc-
tion of offshore petroleum leases in the
Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill disaster in 2010 drew
$337.7 million in winning bids Wednes-
day.
Petroleum explorers bid on 191 tracts
in the western Gulf off the coast of
Texas.
With natural gas prices low and the
U.S. sitting on vast shale deposits of
gas, most of the bidding centered on
deepwater sites targeted for oil explo-
ration.
ConocoPhillips submitted the largest
bid, agreeing to pay for $103.2 million
for a deepwater tract.
The sale total was sharply higher
than during the last western Gulf sale
in 2009, which drew only $115 million
in high bids during a time of economic
recession and increasing production of
natural gas from shale.
Online retail sales on a tear
The surge in online shopping is no
longer reserved for the Monday after

TALKING, TEXT-
ING, tweeting, typ-
ing, driving.
One of these things
just doesnt belong
with the others.
Driving isnt a nice
way to round off any of the other
aforementioned activities.
So says the federal government,
some state governments and a slew of
municipalities.
You can argue all you want about
how much time gets wasted in the
car, or that it doesnt distract you,
personally, but making it illegal to
manipulate a mobile device while
driving (isnt a car technically a mo-
bile device?) is all the rage these
days.
Be honest. How many people ac-
tually pull over to make a phone call?
How many of you refuse to make or
take calls while driving?
How many ever text, tweet, talk or
e-mail while driving? Id bet more
than 50 percent.
Its pretty tough to argue with all of
the studies, which generally indicate
theres a significant risk attached to
doing anything other than driving
while youre behind the wheel.
Even if youre using the phone
hands-free, youre still increasing the
danger to yourself and others.
But.
New cars, even at entry level, are
increasingly equipped with navigation
systems, apps, bells and whistles so
numerous that they would put a caril-
lon to shame.
Some cars have phone systems
built right in.
Granted, they all warn you not to
operate these systems while the vehi-
cle is in motion, but they might as
well put nudge, nudge, wink wink,
were just covering ourselves if you
crash in the disclaimer as well.
Do federal, state, or local govern-
ments intend to ban the use of these
systems as well?
Because if they dont, the slippery
slope principle will apply. Eventually,
more cars will feature things like
Talk to Tweet, or be able to read
incoming messages as the person is
driving.
And if they try, theyll have an up-
roar on their hands.
Might I propose a simple solution?
Allow the use of hands-free devices
built into the vehicle.
Many new cars have systems that
can detect driving conditions -- traffic
around the car, speed, location and
more. If the vehicle is exceeding a
certain speed, road conditions are
unsafe, there is heavy traffic, the area
has a high rate of accidents or driving
becomes erratic, begin disabling fea-
tures, starting with hands-free calling.
Make this function optional, allow
it to be disabled, and work with insur-
ance companies to ensure penalties if
an accident takes place and the sys-
tem is disabled.
If that seems heavy handed, let me
ask you this:
How would you reply if someone
asked you what you thought of letting
anyone above age 16 maintain and
operate a 1-to-2-ton piece of heavy
equipment constructed from steel,
aluminum and carbon fiber that is
capable of traveling in excess of 100
mph and is fueled by highly explosive
liquids?
Still, the impulse to ban or penalize
doesnt work well for technology.
People will just use it anyway.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. When the
Revel mega-casino opens in May, many
of its dealers, beverage servers and oth-
er customer service workers will be
young, attractive and sexy.
And a policy the casino is implement-
ing will probably keep it that way.
Applicants are being told they will
have jobs for as little as four years at a
time, after which they will have to re-
apply. That means competing with
younger, fresher faces a requirement
that has never been made before in the
33-year history of casino gambling in
Atlantic City.
Revel says it is crucial that employ-
ees who most often come into contact
with guests put the best possible face
on the organization.
The defined-termroles are the most
critical in the entertainment and hospi-
tality business, and their engagement
with our guests will help define us,
Revel said Wednesday in a statement.
We want to ensure that these high pro-
file professionals are always engaged
with our guests.
Under the policy, jobs subject to term
limits of four to six years include deal-
ers, valets, cocktail servers, bartenders
and front desk clerks.
Bob McDevitt, president of Local 54
of UNITE HERE, , the citys main casi-
no union, said the casino is engaging in
blatant age discrimination some-
thing the casino denies.
Its job applications dont mention
age.

NEW YORK Ah, the warm feel-
ings of the holidays: Comfort and
joy. Good cheer.
And buyers remorse.
People who rushed to snag dis-
counts on TVs, toys and other gifts
are quickly returning them for
much-needed cash. The shopping
season started out strong for stores,
but it looks like the spending binge
has given way to a holiday hangover.
Return rates spiked when the
Great Recession struck and have
stayed high. For every dollar stores
take in this holiday season, theyll
have to give back 9.9 cents in re-
turns, up from 9.8 cents last year. In
better economic times, its about 7
cents.
This time of year, fractions of a
penny add up. Stores are expected
to take in $453 billion during this
years winter holidays. Merchants
make up to 40 percent of their year-
ly sales in the last two months.
Returns are typically more associ-
ated with January than December.
After all, that hot pink sweater with
yellow stars on the sleeves may not
be exactly what your sister had in
mind. But these days, more is going
back before it ever gets to Santas
sack.
When the bills come in and the
money isnt there, you have to re-
turn, says Jennifer Kersten, 33, of
Miami. She spent $300 the day after
Thanksgiving on books, movies and
clothes for her nephews. Last week
she returned half of it.
Consumer electronics in particu-
lar are being returned at a rapid clip.
Stores and manufacturers are ex-
pected to spend $17 billion rebox-
ing, repairing, restocking and re-
selling electronics this year, up 21
percent from four years ago.
In an industry where profit mar-
gins are thin and competition is bru-
tal, those return rates are unsustain-
able, says Mitch Cline, managing di-
rector of Accentures electronics
and high-tech group.
Liquidation.com, which buys re-
turned merchandise from big stores
like Wal-Mart and auctions it to
small businesses and dollar stores,
says return rates are 12 to 15 per-
cent, up 2 percentage points from
last year and double the rate in bet-
ter times.
Its four warehouses across the
country are packed with thousands
more smartphones, TVs other holi-
day castaways than a year ago, says
Bill Angrick, CEO of the sites par-
ent company, Liquidity Services.

So far weve had
only four days
this month with
below average
temperatures,
and once again,
readings will
remain above
normal with a
small amount of
rain. The chance
for showers will
last up until a
cold front passes
early this
evening, but
temperatures
overnight will
stay above freez-
ing. Sunshine
returns Friday
with a cold gusty
wind.
Temperatures
will drop to near
the freezing
mark Saturday
morning. Expect
good travel
weather over the
weekend with
only a dusting of
snow possible
Sunday morning.
The next chance
for precipitation
will arrive
Wednesday as
rain and maybe
some snow.

NEW YORK Teachers, tu-
tors and baby sitters are among
lifes golden helpers, and at holi-
day time, many of them get
thank-you gifts fromthe kids and
families they serve.
A few may be lucky enough to
get cash tips or pricey group pre-
sents organized by the team or
class mom. In some affluent
communities, in fact, cash or ex-
pensive gift cards for teachers
have become a bit of anethical is-
sue.
But many teachers and care-
givers endupwitha loadof small
gifts bought on the fly things
like scented candles and cutesy
coffee mugs. We asked a few
what theyd rather have.
Selena Yang, 22, in East Brun-
swick, N.J., is a former sitter and
teachers assistant at a pre-
school. Edible arrangements
were fun, she said, but her best
gift was a personalized cover for
her Kindle in a white fleur-de-lis
pattern against a background of
baby blue, her favorite color.
It had my initials on it, she
said. Not only was it thoughtful
but it was unique.
The gift also required the giv-
ers, the family of one of her
charges, to know a little some-
thing about her life outside the
classroom. Thats a goodplace to
start if youre looking to up the
significance factor.
Another of Yangs favorites: A
family with three kids she once
sat for gave her a simple charm
bracelet with a heart, a star and a
ballet slipper, the latter marking
the 17 years she spent dancing.
Some helpers cherish hand-
made gifts, cards and drawings,
keeping themfor years. The sim-
ple gesture means a lot to high-
school teachers, one said, be-
cause it indicates a busy, hor-
monally challenged teen put in
some time.
Does the helper drive a lot?
One baby sitter touted an emer-
gency car kit as THEbest gift ev-
er.
In San Francisco, Juan Bunci,
31, is a part time SAT tutor. His
best ever was a $250 gift cardtoa
website offering harbor cruises,
dinners out anda variety of other
outings in the Bay Area.
Many sites are filled with fun
classes, trips, restaurant deals
and other amusements and ser-
vices aroundthe worldina broad
range of prices, so look around.
I used it to go sailing in the
bay and also took rock-climbing
classes, he said. Im hoping
more of my clients give me these
because I really dont want more
crappy stuff.

NEW YORK Theres fall and
spring, winter andsummer and
theres boot season. For manyfash-
ionfans, thatsthebest timeof year.
Time to break out the cowboy
bootsandjeans, ridingbootsandleg-
gings and maybe your best black
work trousers and those cute high-
heel booties you
bought last year.
Theyre all
easy, almost no-
fail pairings.
Findingtheright
skirt to go with
boots, however,
is more likely to
tripyouup, espe-
cially this partic-
ular season
when it seems
anything goes
withhemlines.
Do long skirts
get tall shafts or
shorter ones?
Whatstheruleon
miniskirts? And
can functional
weather-friendly
bootsmeetafash-
ion-forward mid-
iskirt somewhere
on the middle of
thecalf?
Boots can do
it better than al-
most anything
whenitcomesto
pulling your
look together,
butitalsocancut
you up, says ce-
lebrity stylist
Cristina Ehrlich.
Sheadds: You
have to put your
outfit on. If your
eye goes straight
for the foot, then
something isnt
right. You want a
full look.
Because pro-
portion matters,
she suggests ev-
ery outfit get the mirror test because
whatworksforoneskirtmightnotfor
thenext, evenif theyresimilarstyles.
Its all about lines. Youdont really
want the topof the boot tomeet the
hemline;itcouldbelongerorshorter
and filled in, when needed, with
opaquetights, saysJenFord, fashion
newsdirector at Luckymagazine.
Ehrlich, astylespokeswomanfor
Via Spiga, says the most foolproof
boot choice is a to-the-knee shaft
andawedgeheel, probablyinblack
suede. But, she adds, youd be sur-
prisedhoweasyit is toincorporate
a dark purple, bottle green or gray
suede into an existing wardrobe,
evenonerootedinblack.
With a two- or three-inch heel,
theres really not an outfit you cant
wear with these boots. Shed put
themon in September and not take
themoffuntilAprilandthatstrav-
elingtodifferentplacesandclimates.
With the wedge, you get com-
fort and gain a fewinches. You can
dress it up or dress it down, Ehr-
lichexplains. Its chic andcool.
Ford recommends a workhorse
boot that is just a couple of inches
shorter than the knee, more like
mid-calf. With tights in the same
color, youll still get theillusionof a
longer leg, but theres a chance to
do some trendy colorblocking
here, and, she says, and you can
capture the playfulness that can
come with an ankle bootie, espe-
cially if you go for a lace-up style
andat least a bit of a heel.
Theres some roomfor over-the-
kneebootswithlongorshortskirts
if youre using a very careful eye
about theproportion, but theresal-
most noreasontotry. Shoedesign-
er Stuart Weitzman says over-the-
knee boots already had their run
a fewseasons ago.
The buzz now, he says, is about
the boots that bring you fashion
andfunction.
Helikesthewayfauxfurandoth-
er luxe trim now adorn weather-
friendly boots. It means, he says,
that women dont have to change
their footwear when they get into
the office or to a restaurant if there
is snowor rainoutside.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL - ONLY 9 LEFT!
Candi Wingate, president of
the nanny search site Nan-
nies4hire, said a variety of vari-
ables are at play when consider-
ing holiday cash or other gifts
for sitters, including years with
the family and the number of
children involved.
For JanFogel, 59, inWashing-
ton, D.C., a generous check
meant a lot from one Chevy
Chase, Md., family that hadone
toddler when she began and
three kids by the time she left
seven years later.
It was my first Christmas
with the family, and theyd giv-
en me an envelope just before I
left the house, she said. While
waiting for the metro train
home, I opened the envelope
and found a check for $1,000. I
started to cry. No one had ever
been that generous to me be-
fore.
Wingate suggested tracking
down a caregivers favorite cloth-
ing store for a gift certificate, or
offering tickets to the movies,
theater, opera, ballet, concerts or
sporting events.
She also urged employers to
think seriously about how much
they can afford and howlittle the
caregiver might have.
Are you rolling in it? Then up
the offering to a gym member-
ship or several trips to a day spa
in addition to cash. How about
paid vacations, paid trips home
to a nannys community of origin
or use of your familys summer
cottage?
If that sounds like a lot, consid-
er a cell phone or cell phone up-
grade, anetbook, DVDs or books,
scrapbooking materials, a de-
signer purse or a pair of fancy
boots. Does your sitter like to
bake? Wrap up a high-end elec-
tric mixer.
There may be others in your
life for whoma very personal gift
is not appropriate, but a grand
gesture might be.
Heather Gunn, 30, a fitness
trainer for kids and adults in
NewYork, saida client once gave
her a full work-upfor herself with
a nutritionist she admired. It
was by far my favorite and most
generous gift, she said.
New York family nurse practi-
tioner Noreen Mulvanerty, 50,
used to work in emergency
rooms. She says shes received
plenty of memorable gifts over
the years but theres one shell
never forget. It was from a
young, out-of-town house pain-
ter who had fallen 10 feet from a
scaffold, lacerated his liver and
landed in intensive care with no
friends or family around.
I visited him every day, she
said. Finally he was released,
and a week later he returned
with a dozen red roses and choc-
olate. He came in and picked me
up and said, I love you like my
mother!

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Sad-
dened in New
Jersey (Oct. 2)
complained that her
sisters 4-year-old
daughter put stick-
ers on the hands and
face of her deceased
grandmother during her wake. Per-
haps the childs mother didnt antici-
pate her daughters actions. Children
need to grieve, too. That said, they
also should behave appropriately.
I saw an article about one funeral
home with an excellent solution. Be-
fore the DEARly departed is placed
in the casket, the inside fabric, pillow,
etc. are removed. The children are
then allowed to decorate the uncov-
ered casket walls with farewell mes-
sages and drawings. The interior is
then reupholstered and nothing is
visible. The children are told that it is
to keep their messages private.
One story was particularly touch-
ing a little boy wanted his mommy
to know how much he loved her and
for it to be as close to her as possible.
He wrote I love you, Mommy on
the casket pillow that was placed be-
neath her head. At the service, only
he knew about the secret message he
had left for his mom for all eternity.
A Mom in Texas
Dear Mom: Thank you for sharing a
clever solution. I felt that the childs
placing of stickers on her grand-
mothers body was disrespectful and
the mother was wrong to permit it in
spite of the grandfathers disapproval.
While I viewed it as a desecration of
a corpse, readers felt differently. My
newspaper readers comment:
Dear Abby: Saddened should never
have removed the 4-year-old from
the casket. It was not her place. The
child was giving her grandmother a
goodbye gift. If the woman wanted to
remove the stickers before the casket
was closed, she should have done it
after the child left the room.
I have seen many friends and rela-
tives place things in caskets as gifts
and remembrances. It is not disre-
spectful to the deceased, but gives
closure and a warm memory to those
who are still living.
Putting stickers on Grandma was
the childs way of saying goodbye.
A funeral is a celebration of life and
no matter what their age, people
are entitled to say goodbye in their
own way.
Melody in Nevada
Dear Abby: I own the Wests oldest
funeral firm and I disagree with your
answer. Funerals are about learning
that we are mortal. To stand on cer-
emony when a child is participating
in one of lifes most important lessons
misses the point. Memorials are not
about formality but humanity. Let the
child place those stickers and let ev-
eryone learn something from that.
Dan in San Francisco
Dear Abby: Our grandchildren love
stickers, put them all over themselves
and their clothing, and are thrilled
if they can share them with me to
wear for a while. If any of our
grandkids are still young enough to
want to decorate ME in my casket
when I go, I would hope everyone
around me would appreciate the ges-
ture and smile at the loving relation-
ship I had with that child.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life isnt
a popularity contest, but if it
were, you would win it today. You
seem to have what people are
looking for, and youre willing to
share it in just the right amount.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid
experiencing life in hyperbole.
Discount exaggerations of the
mind and word. When nothing is
the best, worst, nicest or mean-
est, you can see it for what it is.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are
constantly issuing statements
to the world, even when you
dont realize it. Your attitude and
appearance speak for you. Youll
find the response you get in
return a little surprising now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A bur-
den is eased, and the relief you
feel about this will bring about a
surge of self-control. Youll work
for healthy payoffs instead of
settling for unhealthy benefits.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are
highly involved in life, and the
level of attention you give
your interests can be person-
ally demanding and sometimes
downright inconvenient. But the
joy you feel being in the mix of
things makes it all worthwhile.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Everyone shows off when they
want attention. Youll be artful in
your attempts to capture inter-
est, and that will make all the
difference in the quality of atten-
tion you receive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
want to be associated with win-
ners, and yet close contact with
big personalities often breeds
jealousy and discontent. Youll be
sorting through such issues over
the next few days.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
arent born optimistic. You have
to grow into the label by repeat-
ing the tendency to look on the
bright side until its a habit. Youll
take hold of your thoughts and
cultivate good will.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When you hear good news, take
it as a sign. This is just the tip
of the iceberg. From here on
out, things get better and better.
Believe and act in accordance,
and it becomes true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Recruiting is an art. Instead of
merely asking people to join
forces with you, turn it into an
event. People are more seduced
by celebration and ritual.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
see the charm in things that oth-
ers dont want to think about.
This is what sets you apart as
a friendly force and an artistic
influence on the otherwise
ordinary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When
someone says no to you, youll
be wise to take this as a good
sign. A fast no is, after all, so
much better than a maybe
that drags on indefinitely.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 15).
Entertaining and engaging social
happenings will bring several
opportunities to make useful
connections and enjoy different
scenery. Youll dump old bag-
gage in February. In April, youll
be a part of a new team. June
and July feature professional
growth and a greater sense of
community and contribution.
Gemini and Libra people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 30,
1, 24, 39 and 41.
