Raises, longevity bonuses, buybacks raise eyebrows

Six-figure deals under fire By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Three Luzerne County detectives each will receive more than $105,000 in pay this year when their raises, longevity bonuses, overtime and other collective-bargaining benefits are factored in. The six-figure payments drew criticism from two county commissioners. The contract expires Dec. 31, and it’s unclear if a new

contract will be approved by the end of the year. The union, the Luzerne County Detectives’ Association, Dessoye has the right to seek binding arbitration. “This contract has reached its peak. We are at a point where some of these people

are among the highest-paid detectives in the state,” said county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, who voted against the pact former commissioners Greg Skrepenak and Todd Vonderheid adopted in 2006. There are 10 detectives, and the contract about to expire granted 3.5 percent annual raises. Detectives also receive a

longevity bonus using a formula based on years of service. The longevity bonuses cost the county a combined $70,299 in 2011, according to a review of records from the county controller’s and district attorney’s offices. “That’s enough to fund one worker, two in some offices,” Commissioner Chairwoman See DETECTIVES, Page 14A

Tobyhanna Army Depot has launched an internal investigation of alleged drug use by employees after the arrest last week

of a recent retiree who told federal authorities he sold drugs for years to friends and co-workers. Jerrold Hahn of Roaring Brook Township, near Moscow, was charged Dec. 1 with one count each of distributing a controlled substance and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. According to a criminal complaint filed by the FBI, Hahn was

questioned in November and admitted he had been selling marijuana for 10 to 15 years. His customers allegedly included a supervisor and a director at the depot, who are not named in the complaint. In a prepared statement issued Friday, Col. Charles Gibson, commander at the depot, said there is “zero tolerance” for drug use by employees.

Charged W-B Twp. fire chief still on job

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich continues to manage the township volunteer fire department despite allegations he stole money from the same department. Joe Naperkowski, a township resident and frequent critic of township Mayor Carl Kuren, answered his own question of why there have been no consequences for Yuknavich. “You know why, because people are Yuknavich afraid of him,” Naperkowski said. “He answers to no one but himself.” Yuknavich, 48, of East Northampton Street, Wilkes-Barre Township, was arrested Tuesday by state police at Wyoming on charges he stole $11,865 from the fire department’s bank account and used the fire department’s credit card at Sam’s Club to rack up $3,706 in charges for personal use, according to the criminal complaint. Yuknavich was released Tuesday after posting $15,000 bail. Yuknavich also faces drunkendriving charges filed by Plains Township police that allege his blood-alcohol level was .16 percent on Nov. 27, the same day he was accused of violating a temporary protection-from-abuse order when he revved the engine of his Ford Mustang near the home of his former girlfriend, Denise Pavlick, according to arrest and court records. Luzerne County Judge Lewis Wetzel on Tuesday issued a permanent restraining order that prohibits Yuknavich from contacting Pavlick for one year. Several attempts to contact Yuknavich and Assistant Fire Chief James Youkoski in person and by telephone were unsuccessful this week. It remained unknown the identities of the board of officers for the fire department. A man who came to the rear door at the fire department chased a reporter away. The state Auditor General’s

Romney critiques rival

Romney said he stood by comments made against Newt Gingrich by former New Hampshire governor. By THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney dived into his campaign’s full-scale critique of rival Newt Gingrich on Friday, standing by top supporters who described the former House speaker as self-serving and mocking some of his ideas about science and technology. In return, top Gingrich backers described Romney’s criticism as a sign of panic less than four weeks until the Iowa caucuses begin the 2012 nominating contest. Gingrich has risen to the top of Iowa polls in the past two weeks and is leading in some other states, too. While Gingrich kept to his pledge not to

Newt’s camp hits back after criticism from former Mass. governor’s campaign. By KASIE HUNT Associated Press

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign hit back at GOP rival Mitt Romney on Friday, saying criticism by the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign seemed desperate. “What we’re seeing from Mitt Romney in Boston is desperation and panic and I think that’s going to be very frustrating to people moving forward,” said Iowa state Rep. Linda Upmeyer, one of Gingrich’s surrogates here, referring to Romney’s campaign headquarters in Massachusetts. “That isn’t what wins you caucuses or elections here in Iowa.” Former Rep. Greg Ganske, who was elected to Congress in 1994 and served

under Gingrich when he was speaker of the House, suggested Romney only wanted to use the caucuses to tear down Gingrich ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Gingrich “Maybe he doesn’t care. Maybe he doesn’t care about winning Iowa. He just wants to tear down the speaker here and then focus on New Hampshire,” Ganske said. Their comments came on a conference call to respond to attacks from Romney’s campaign and his allies — just a day after Gingrich’s campaign maintained that he would stay positive in the face of Romney attacks. On Thursday, Romney surrogates assailed the former House speaker as irrational and unfit to lead, and Romney allies started airing a TV attack ad against Gingrich in Iowa. It’s part of a $3.1 million campaign by Romney supporters.

Last full lunar eclipse of the year this weekend The Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The last total lunar eclipse of the year is Saturday. And there won’t be another one for three years. Viewers in the western half of the United States will have the best views Saturday well before dawn, Pacific and Mountain Standard Time. The farther west the better. The scene from the Pacific — Aus-

tralia and parts of Asia — will be prime. The action will be unfolding there Saturday night, local time. This is the second total lunar eclipse this year, when the entire moon is in Earth’s darkest shadow and will appear red. The first was in June. That’s it now until 2014. Until then, stargazers will have to settle for partial eclipses.

HARRISBURG – On Monday, the state’s Legislative Reapportionment Commission is scheduled to vote on a final plan that sets the boundaries for the state’s 203 state House districts and 50 Senate districts for the next decade. What those House districts will look like is a secret to all but a select few Republicans who have been part of the process. The proposed Senate districts were released on Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi’s website this week. Democrats, government watchdog groups and citizens have decried a perceived lack of transparency in the proc-

ess. They claim state residents are pawns in a numbers game Republicans are playing to ensure their party will keep the seats they have and give themselves a better chance in seats they don’t have. Lisa Scullin, a spokeswoman for Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, said the Republicans have done what they can to protect their majority for as long as possible without concern for residents. “The plan is definitely not in the best interest of the Pennsylvania voters,” she said. Erik Arneson, communications and policy director for Pileggi, said the process has been open and transparent from

the beginning. He said public hearings took place earlier in the year, and an online feedback forum was established months ago for people to review maps and comment to the commission.

It’s a tricky balance between mandated equality of districts by population. Counties, school districts and municipalities find themselves split as neighbors separated by just a few houses in some instances are represented by separate legislators in Harrisburg. The changes also put people who believe they live in one geographic region in with folks in another distinct region. That’s the case in the 14th Senatorial District now represented by John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township. What has long been a Wilkes-Barre/

A federal judge Thursday sentenced Richard Woods of Nanticoke to 20 months in prison for his guilty plea to mail fraud in connection with a mortgage-fraud scheme. Federal authorities investigated the scheme involving First Advantage Mortgage Co. of Lake Ariel and Four Star Mortgage based in Gouldsboro. The companies used false documents and appraisals to qualify customers for inflated mortgages and loans between 1999 and 2005. Woods, 54, admitted he prepared numerous false real-estate appraisals to qualify borrowers for the mortgages. He was the third defendant sentenced in the scheme.

According to acting state Physician General Dr. Stephen Ostroff, Altavilla is making the right choice, not only for herself but for the community. Ostroff held a press conference during the clinic to stress the importance of flu shots and to mark National Influenza Vaccination Week. He said awareness within the elderly population has grown over the past few years, but overall turnout for flu shots is “nowhere near where it needs to be.” The flu clinic was open to all Penn-

Traffic deaths up in state but down in Luzerne County By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

A study released Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports traffic fatalities in Pennsylvania increased more than 5 percent between 2009 and 2010, but Luzerne County appears to be on par with the rest of the country’s reported decrease in vehicular deaths.

State and local police officers attribute the statewide increase to more drivers and more distractions, and many said education is the key to preventing unsafe driving. The study reports traffic fatalities declined nationally by 2.9 percent to the lowest rate in six decades despite more drivers on the road in 2010. Pennsylvania’s highway

deaths increased 5.4 percent, from a record low of 1,256 to 1,324 deaths. In Luzerne County, there were 32 fatal crashes on state roads in 2009, 26 in 2010 and 23 through November of this year. Jim Lardear, a spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic, said Pennsylvania had the highest increase in “unbuckled” crashes, or crashes involving

people not wearing seat belts. Other states in the mid-Atlantic territory, including Delaware and New Jersey, saw a decrease in overall traffic deaths, and Lardear attributes this to both states having laws that deem an unbuckled seat belt a primary offense. Pennsylvania See FATALITIES, Page 4A

Two dozen flood-prone homes in Shickshinny have been approved for federal hazard-mitigation buyouts. The buyouts total $2.1 million, according to U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, whose office announced the grants Friday. Of that amount, $1.59 million will come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the remainder funded by the state or municipality, Barletta’s office said. The homes, which lie within the FEMA-defined flood plain, will be demolished, with the land becoming borough property. All the buyout applications were made before the flooding that devastated Shickshinny in September, Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority Executive Director Jim Brozena said. Shickshinny Borough submitted the applications under an April 2010 disaster declaration stemming from a snowstorm near Pittsburgh in February of the same year. The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Buyout Program allows any municipality to apply when there is a federal disaster declaration in the same state. In November, seven homes in Plymouth Township, including three damaged in localized flash flooding July 3, were approved for buyouts applied for under the same disaster declaration. Brozena said most of the 24 properties involved in the buyouts are on Canal Street and Susquehanna Avenue, near the banks of the Susquehanna River. “Obviously, it’s good to know that 24 more properties will be removed from the flood plain, and we don’t have to worry about them continually flooding,” Brozena said. Any FEMA grant or flood-insurance money awarded after the September flood but not spent on cleanup or repairs, he said, will be deducted from the amount of the buyout. For example, if a homeowner received a $30,000 FEMA grant and spent $10,000 on cleanup, and was then awarded a $60,000 buyout, the remaining $20,000 of the homeowner’s FEMA grant would be deducted from the buyout, leaving the homeowner with $40,000.

Pittston-based seat now stretches into Jim Thorpe in Carbon County and even into a small portion of the Poconos in Monroe County. But the latest released map of the district shows it would lose the Pittston area and Monroe County. To compensate, it would stretch into Lehigh and Northampton counties and become a Carbon County-centralized district. Dilution feared The inclusion of two Lehigh Valley counties into what’s historically been a Luzerne Countybased district has ruffled some feathers. “The representation that flows from Wilkes-Barre certainly will be diluted by the time it reaches Northampton County,” Margaret Ferraro, a Northampton County Councilwoman wrote in a letter to the commission last month. In the past part of Northampton County was in a district that stretched into the Poconos. A request for comment from Yudichak was denied by a spokesman, who said the senator will comment after Monday’s vote. Though negotiations are ongoing to alter the preliminary maps, some changes already have been made in the 14th Senate District since a month ago.

According to the plan released by Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, the portion of the 14th Senatorial District in Luzerne County, now represented by John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, would include the cities of Hazleton, Nanticoke and Wilkes-Barre; the townships of Bear Creek, Buck, Hanover, Hazle, Newport, Plains, Plymouth and WilkesBarre; and the boroughs of Ashley, Bear Creek Village, Edwardsville, Larksville, Laurel Run, Luzerne, Plymouth, Sugar Notch, Swoyersville, Warrior Run, West Hazleton, West Wyoming and Wyoming. Here’s a look at the other districts in the county: • The 20th Senatorial District, now represented by Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, would include all or parts of Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. In Luzerne, the district would incorporate the townships of Conyngham, Dallas, Dennison, Dorrance, Exeter, Fairview, Foster, Franklin, Hollenback, Hunlock, Jackson, Kingston, Lake,

Lehman, Rice, Ross, Slocum, Union and Wright and the boroughs of Courtdale, Dallas, Forty Fort, Freeland, Harveys Lake, Jeddo, Kingston, Nuangola, Penn Lake Park, Pringle, Shickshinny and White Haven. • The 22nd Senatorial District, now represented by John Blake, D-Archbald, would include all of Lackawanna County plus the city of Pittston; the townships of Jenkins and Pittston; and the boroughs of Avoca, Dupont, Duryea, Exeter, Hughestown, Laflin, West Pittston and Yatesville in Luzerne County. • The 27th Senatorial District, now represented by John Gordner, R-Berwick, would include all or parts of Columbia, Dauphin, Luzerne, Montour, Northumberland and Snyder counties. In Luzerne, the district would include the townships of Black Creek, Butler, Fairmount, Huntington, Nescopeck, Salem and Sugarloaf and the boroughs of Conyngham, Nescopeck and New Columbus.

Among the municipalities added to the district that were absent when the first maps were released are Swoyersville, West Wyoming and Wyoming boroughs. “We’re happy changes were made, but we don’t feel they go far enough,” Scullin said. While state districts are being dealt with and progress has been made, The Associated Press reported on Friday that top Republicans have been unable to settle on a new map of Pennsylvania’s 18 congressional districts after weeks of private meetings.

Senate State Government Committee Chairman Charles McIlhinney said he’s hoping for a final Senate vote Wednesday, the chamber’s last scheduled session day this year. It needs House approval after that. Republicans say they’re still working through differences over political and geographic considerations in hopes of reinforcing the re-election chances of their 12 U.S. House members. They say the map absolutely must be finished before Jan. 24, the first day for candidates to circulate nomination petitions.

law lists an unbuckled seatbelt as a secondary offense. Harveys Lake Police Chief Charles Musial said he has seen only two fatal crashes in his 14 years as a police officer, but he believes fatalities could have been prevented in both if the drivers were wearing seat belts. “Statistics show seat belts save lives,” he said, noting that’s “one main thing” the public needs education on. “It’s definitely worth taking a few minutes to buckle your seat belt.” Musial said Harveys Lake has

ment of health provided other types of vaccines, including for pregnant women, infants and the general population. “For many, many people, influenza is more than a nuisance. It can be a major problem,” said Ostroff, who retired from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta in 2005. Ostroff said other groups who have a higher risk of influenza complications include those with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and lung trouble. “(Vaccination) is the single most influential thing we can do

seen a decrease in traffic violations during the past year due to increased enforcement. During the Thanksgiving weekend, the police department did a seat-belt check that resulted in 14 citations for unbuckled drivers. This increase in patrols is what state police use as part of their program to combat unsafe driving habits. Trooper Anthony Manetta, the state-police public information officer, said state police follow the rules of the three E’s: education, enforcement and engineering. Engineering refers to the design of safe roads. The state police work with the state Department of Transportation to record where crashes tend to occur and

what can make those areas safer. Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolley said despite the local decrease in crash-related deaths, unsafe driving is still a major issue for police. He said most fatal vehicular accidents are preventable; drivers just need to change their behavior. “People are just too familiar with the act of driving,” he said. “One crash is one crash too many.”

to prevent the influenza from occurring,” he said. Kross said last year influenza was diagnosed in about 20,000 Pennsylvania residents. About 1,500 were hospitalized, and nearly 100 died. He said there have been 14 flu clinics in Wilkes-Barre this year, and about 1,450 residents took advantage of the free service. This year’s flu vaccine is the same as last year’s, but Ostroff still suggests getting a flu shot every year because protection lasts

an average of six to eight months. Ostroff said there is no reason not to get a flu shot this year. “The more people that get vaccinated, the less flu is around,” he said. The flu cannot be contracted as a result of receiving the vaccine, he said, but some people have a slight negative reaction within the first 24 to 48 hours. Ostroff said those with egg allergies are the only people advised not to receive the flu shot. The vaccine is grown in eggs.

Traffic fatalities declined nationally to the lowest rate in six decades. Pennsylvania highway deaths increased to 1,324 deaths.

Security guards detain activists of Ukraine’s protest group Femen, outside the Christ the Saviour cathedral in Moscow, Russia, Friday.

Patch carries risks A panel of federal health advisers said Friday that a birth control patch from Johnson & Johnson probably carries a higher risk of blood clots than older drugs, but should remain available as an option for women who have trouble taking a daily pill. The Food and Drug Administration’s panel of reproductive health experts voted 19-5 that the benefits of the Ortho Evra patch outweigh its risks, specifically a potentially higher risk of dangerous blood clots in the legs and lungs. Panelists said the patch can be especially useful for younger women who have difficulty sticking to a daily pill regimen. WASHINGTON

NASA loses space stuff Astronauts may have had the ‘right stuff’ to go to the moon, but when it comes to keeping track of what they brought back, NASA seems to have misplaced some of that stuff. In a report issued by the agency’s Inspector General on Thursday, NASA concedes that more than 500 pieces of moon rocks, meteorites, comet chunks and other space material were stolen or have been missing since 1970. That includes 218 moon samples that were stolen and later returned and about two dozen moon rocks and chunks of lunar soil that were reported lost last year. NASA, which has loaned more than 26,000 samples, needs to keep better track of what’s sent to researchers and museums, the report said. The lack of sufficient controls “increases the risk that these unique resources may be lost,” the report concluded. BROOKVILLE

Obituary didn’t ‘work’ Authorities in northwestern Pennsylvania say a man published an obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off from work. Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Brookville after the obit appeared to report the woman was actually alive and well. The woman herself then visited the paper. Brookville police charged 45-year-old Scott Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct. Democrat editor Randy Bartley says he accepted the obituary in good faith after being unable to confirm the funeral arrangements at press time. He told The Derrick newspaper on Friday that the woman was very understanding.

House GOP introduces tax bill

The legislation would extend Social Security payroll tax cut through 2012 and trim unemployment benefits. By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Friday brought forward legislation that would extend the Social Security payroll tax cut through 2012 and trim extra benefits for the long-term unemployed. The measure invites a year-end clash with President Barack Obama and Democrats by including language that would pave the way for construction of a controversial oil pipeline.

WASHINGTON — The family of retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, who vanished years ago in Iran, issued a plea to his kidnappers Friday and, for the first time, released a hostage video they received from his unidentified captors. The video message released on the Levinson family’s website publicly trans- Levinson formed the mysterious disappearance into an international hostage standoff. Despite a lengthy investigation, however, the U.S. government has no evidence of who is holding the 63-year-old father of seven. The video plea represents a sharp change in strategy in a case that, for years, the United States treated as a diplomatic issue rather than a hostage situation. Christine Levinson, who lives in Coral Springs, Fla., has issued many public statements over the years, but she typically directed them to her missing husband or to the government of Iran. In the hostage video, which the family received in November 2010, Levinson pleaded with the U.S. government to meet the demands of the people holding him, whom he did not identify. The Associated Press saw the video soon after it arrived last year but did not immediately report it because the U.S. government said doing so would complicate diplomatic efforts to bring Levinson home. Now, those efforts appear to have stalled.

89 patients perish in hospital fire in India as medical staff flees Firefighters in the city took more than an hour to respond, a witness said. By MANIK BANERJEE Associated Press

KOLKATA, India — Fleeing medical staff abandoned AP PHOTO patients to a fire that killed Someone rescues a patient 89 people Friday as black after fire broke out at hospital smoke poured through the in Kolkata, India, Friday. seven-story hospital in this

city in eastern India, officials said. Six administrators were arrested. Dwellers of a nearby slum who first noticed the smoke and fire rushed to the AMRI Hospital to raise the alarm, but security guards kept them back, saying it was only a small blaze, witnesses said. It took firefighters in the city formerly known as Calcutta more than an hour to respond, said Pradeep Sarkar, a

witness whose uncle was hospitalized but was among those safely evacuated from the private facility. Some of the slum dwellers helped with the rescue. The neighborhood’s narrow streets apparently made it difficult for fire trucks to get close to the building and to bring in big hydraulic ladders. Eventually, they smashed through a main gate to make way for the ladders.

Six hospital directors surrendered to police and were charged with culpable homicide, according to police who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of the state of West Bengal, ordered the hospital’s license withdrawn. The hospital denied that any safety measures were violated.

Sex-trial testimony to resume Monday On the stand, Albert Chase’s father said his son told him the allegations were untrue. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The trial of a man charged with having inappropriate contact with a young girl over a seven-year period will resume with testimony Monday. Jury selection began Monday in the trial of Albert Chase, 33, of Susquehanna Avenue, Pittston, and testimony continued into Friday with Chase’s father, attorney Albert Chase Sr., taking the stand. Luzerne County Senior Judge Kenneth Brown said the trial likely will wrap up Tuesday at the latest and apologized to a jury of nine men and four women for underestimating its length. The woman The jury will testified the be asked to decide Chase’s abuse began fate on four when she was counts of invol- 8 and continuntary deviate ued until she sexual intercourse, two was 15, procounts of rape, gressing to two counts of almost-daily aggravated insex. decent assault and one count of terroristic threats. The woman, now 22, testified Tuesday that the abuse began when she 8 and continued until she was 15. Chase, she said, would at first touch her inappropriately, but the contact progressed to almost-daily sex. The woman testified she didn’t tell anyone until she was about 15 years old because she didn’t know if the actions were right or wrong and because Chase told her he loved her and would “do anything” for her. The woman said Chase would use protection during sex to ensure she would not become pregnant and that he often gave her a “Plan B” pill, an emergency contraceptive, if he became “scared.” Several family members and friends of the woman were called to testify throughout the week by Assistant District Attorney Jenny Roberts, while Chase’s attorney, Nanda Palissery, called several of Chase’s family members to testify Friday. Chase’s father testified at length about confronting the woman and his son about the allegations. The elder Chase, who lives near Allentown, said when he first heard the allegations made against his son, he went to girl’s father in an attempt to learn the truth. Chase said the girl said nothing to him about the allegations and that when he confronted his son, he denied the incidents. “ ‘I didn’t do it. What are you talking about?’ ” the elder Chase said his son told him.

A sign for The Second Mile charity is seen outside the organization’s headquarters in State College. The charity founded by Jerry Sandusky, who was charged with molesting boys, said in a statement Wednesday that it has recently lost significant financial support and that some employees will be laid off during the next several months.

He noted that Raykovitz and Genovese also had formal oversight of contributions, solicitations and financial records. “The combination of those things makes it very unusual for the CEO and the spouse to have that level of control over income and expenditure,” said Wyland, who added that such situations should be avoided. But Wyland said the tendency to blame Second Mile board members may be excessive. “There’s this temptation to say they should have known. Well, not

always,” Wyland added, especially when someone involved with an organization is making extensive efforts to hide the details of their wrongdoing. He also noted that a district attorney didn’t press charges against Sandusky after investigating some complaints, meaning that Raykovitz could have credibly believed that the allegations were unfounded. The Second Mile has hired Lynne Abraham, who served as the top prosecutor in Philadelphia for nearly two decades, to help it conduct an internal investigation to assess policies and make recommendations regarding its future.

PHILADELPHIA — About half of Pennsylvanians surveyed for a poll released Friday support the firing of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, though many say they still have a favorable opinion of him after the child sex-abuse scandal that erupted last month. The poll conducted by Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University found 52 percent of registered Pennsylvania voters surveyed supported the decision of the Penn State Board of Trustees to oust the longtime coach, with 43 percent opposing the move. But 44 percent of those polled still have a favorable opinion of Paterno despite outrage expressed by law enforcement officials who claim he didn’t take strong enough action after a graduate assistant came to him claiming he saw former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in a shower at the school’s football facilities. Seventeen percent said they hadn’t heard enough about Paterno have an opinion. Paterno and school President Graham Spanier lost their jobs after a grand-jury report detailed a series of incidents of sex abuse involving Sandusky and at-risk boys he met through his charity, The Second Mile. Spanier didn’t fare so well in the poll. An overwhelming majority favored his dismissal — 74 percent to 13 percent. “Pennsylvania voters have more love for the legendary football coach than for Graham Spanier, but they agree that Joe must go,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Institute assistant director Tim Malloy. Sandusky is accused of abusing 10 boys, some on campus, over 15 years, allegations that were not immediately brought to the attention of authorities even though highlevel people at Penn State apparently knew about at least some of them. The poll of 1,453 registered voters for the week ending Dec. 5 has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

MEETINGS Council approves tax increase in budget

EDWARDSVILLE – Borough council Thursday night unanimously approved a proposed 2012 budget that includes a .2075-mill, or 5.8 percent, real estate tax increase. The increase would hike property taxes $10.38 for a property assessed at $50,000 and $15.56 for one assessed at $75,000, according to information from the borough. Councilman Gary Mack said the $2.27 million spending plan includes funding for the purchase of a new and "much needed" police vehicle in early spring. Mack also said the borough recently received money from the Luzerne County District Attorney’s drug money impound fund for the purchase of upgraded law enforcement software and to upgrade the current police vehicle. Mack said council is awaiting final word from Kmart official regarding a planned 2012 reopening in the Mark Plaza shopping center, but there is still no word on the fate of Redner’s Supermarket, also in the shopping center on Route 11 in the borough.

plan to purchase and renovate the building if funding is approved in the grant. The inspection will determine if the building, which is for sale, would be suitable for renovation into a borough building. The deadline for filing the grant application is Dec. 31, and the borough will also be consulting with state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca, as to the best approach for the application. Council also has approved moving forward with an application for a $110,000 community development grant from Luzerne County for paving new streets. This application is based on a service area survey completed by the fire department. In other financial matters, council approved ordinances for 2012 authorizing fixing the real estate tax rate at 1.5 mills, setting the wage tax rate at 1 percent, enacting the local services tax of $52, setting the real estate transfer tax at 1 percent for 2012, and enacting a $75 tax on all coin-operated devices in the borough in 2012. Council thanked Councilman Jason Radle for his service to the borough. Radle will be leaving council at the end of the month. William Bell

DURBAN, South Africa — The United States, China and India could scuttle attempts to save the only treaty governing global warming, Europe’s top negotiator said Friday hours before a 194nation U.N. climate conference was to close. After two weeks of negotiations, talks went through the night Thursday with delegates struggling to keep Durban from becoming the graveyard of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on global warming. “If there is no further movement from what I have seen until 4 o’clock this morning, then I must say I don’t think that there will be a deal in Durban,” said Connie Hedegaard, the European commissioner for climate action. Greenpeace director Kumi Naidoo led dozens of activists chanting, “Climate justice now!” and singing outside the main session Friday. U.N. police blocked them from the hall as delegates lined a

staircase and balcony overlooking the protest, snapping pictures with small cameras and mobile phones. The protest was meant to “inject some urgency into the process,” Naidoo told The Associated Press, accusing governments of “playing political poker with the future of our planet.” Greenpeace announced later that Naidoo, who had been an observer at the talks, had been

barred from the conference after leading the largest protest since it opened nearly two weeks ago. Earlier this week, an American college student heckled U.S. delegate Todd Stern as he delivered a speech. She was ejected from the hall and banned from the conference. Six Canadians also had their conference credentials lifted after staging a demonstration during an address by their environment minister, Peter Kent.

On Thursday at a meeting along the sidelines of the summit attended by South African President Jacob Zuma, scuffles broke out between his supporters and environmentalists holding up posters reading, “Zuma stand with Africa, not with USA,” and “Zuma don’t let Africa fry.” At the talks Friday, the proposed package would see the European Union extend its commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, but only if all other countries agree to negotiate a new treaty with legally binding obligations for everyone, not just the wealthy Kyoto group. The EU has said it will not renew its emissions reduction pledges, which expire in one year, without agreement to begin work on a treaty to replace the Kyoto accord that would compel all countries to control their emissions, including the United States and China which are the world’s two largest polluters. The U.S. never ratified the protocol, though it has made voluntary efforts to reduce emissions. The Europeans won critical support late Thursday from an alliance of small islands and the world’s poorest countries.

Ex-trooper receives house arrest for nude dance video The attorney general’s office Douglas Sversko of Lewisburg had sought a sentence within the also gets 5 years probation, is standard range of three to 12 registered as sex offender. months behind bars, spokesman The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A former state trooper was sentenced Friday to six months of house arrest with an electronic monitoring bracelet after he admitted sending a webcam video of himself dancing in the nude to an agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. The former trooper, Douglas Sversko, also will be on probation for five years, registered on the Megan’s Law list of sex offenders for 10 years and barred from having unsupervised contact with minors during probation, a spokesman for the state attorney general’s office said. Sversko received an evaluation that determined that he was not a sexually violent predator, and he sought counseling that determined that no further treatment was necessary, said his lawyer, Nichole A. Collins. “It seemed to be an isolated incident out of character that the doctors don’t feel will happen again,” Collins said. Sversko, of Lewisburg, has a13year-old daughter, Collins said. He was the first trooper to be arrested by the attorney general’s Child Predator Unit since it was created in January 2005.

Nils Frederiksen said. Sversko, 44, sent the video in March 2010 after approaching what he thought was a teenage girl in an online chat, authorities said. He was charged in February and pleaded guilty in September to two felonies, including unlawful contact with a minor and

criminal use of a communication facility. While he was free on bail, he was barred from unsupervised contact with minors, Frederiksen said. Sversko retired from his job at the Milton station in May. Asked why it took 11 months to arrest Sversko after he sent the video, Frederiksen said cases like this often involve extra investigative work, such as determining the person’s identity and working

to determine whether the person is involved in other criminal behavior online. “There’s a lot of investigative work that’s involved in any of our child predator unit investigations, not all of which we can talk about,” he said. “When our agents and investigators have reached the point where they think it’s appropriate to file charges, we do.”

OTHER OPINION: TERROR BILL

Senate imperils basic freedoms

ITH A reckless course charted on antiterrorism policies that would threaten fundamental American freedoms, the Senate is acting as if the smoke were still rising from the ruins of the fallen World Trade Center towers. Broad provisions approved by the Senate last week called for the military, and not civilian authorities, to hold anyone suspected of terrorist involvement – whether U.S. citizen or a foreign national. Terrorism suspects could be detained indefinitely and without trial. And the door would all but be slammed shut on President Obama’s hope of honoring democratic ideals by trying as many terrorism suspects as possible in civilian courts. Certainly, the president is right to threaten a veto of the defense appropriations bill if it contains the antiterrorism proEDITORIAL BOARD

visions that mandate military trials for all domestic terrorism suspects. His hands should not be tied to prevent bringing suspected terrorists to justice in the federal court system, particularly since the civilian courts already have proven they are up to the task. The White House should stand firm against the detention proposals, which it said “would be inconsistent with the fundamental American principle that our military does not patrol our streets.” As U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in her failed effort to block the misguided Senate measure, Washington “should not have the ability to lock away its citizens for years and perhaps decades without charging them.” Even amid the threat from alQaida, core freedoms must prevail.

MAIL BAG

LETTERS FROM READERS

Subsidize mail delivery to retain vital service

he recent dismantling of our U.S. Postal Service seems in line with a continuing plot to destroy the entire fabric of our society. Yes, business models change, but the ability to deliver mail is one of the hallmarks of successful society. The post office could offer the service, for an additional fee, of printing out certain emails that we send to it and then delivering them to relatives and friends who don’t have computers. This would allow people from Europe or opposite sides of our continent to reach family and friends quicker and more efficiently. Why use jet fuel to rush a letter to your aunt 3,000 miles away when it could be printed and delivered from her local post office? I still can’t believe that junk mail is not subsidized off the backs of those who send regular mail. The ability of Americans to mail letters is almost as important as the right to vote and justice. If we as a society can subsidize airports, commuter buses and trains, surely we can do what is necessary to guarantee a bare minimum of postal service. Joseph DuPont Towanda

Act allows U.S. citizens to be unjustly detained

he father of the Constitution, James Madison, once wrote, “The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home.” He could have been writing that very sentence today in response to the Senate’s recent passing of the National Defense Authorization Act. Ninety-three of our U.S. senators, (and 322 representatives, in a similar bill), have seen fit to ignore their constitutional oaths to “support and defend” this crucial foundation of not only liberty, but also the system of checks and balances that ensures the same. The passage of S. 1867 blatantly violates the Sixth Amendment. It allows for indefinite detention of any individual, U.S. citizen or not, who is simply suspected of terrorist activities. The Senate went so far as to defeat several proposed amendments that would have clarified Section 1031, regarding the detainment of U.S. citizens. The supreme power to indefinitely detain, at a whisper of suspicion, has been placed squarely in the hands of the executive branch. No right to a speedy and public trial by a jury of one’s peers, those who fall under suspicion can be whisked away in the night by jack-booted thugs and shipped off to

destinations unknown. Sounds a bit like Stalin’s Russia, nyet? After World War II, even American citizens who acted as Nazi saboteurs were granted a fair trial under constitutional restraints. This bill also essentially declares the entire nation a “battlefield,” effectively allowing for U.S. troops to engage in law enforcement within our borders, and taking one giant leap toward the easy implementation of martial law. I suppose the passage of such legislation should not come as a surprise. It is really just a codification of the parallel legal system that the George W. Bush administration quietly put in place after the attacks on 9/11 in the name of “security.” We have seen a piecemeal dismantling of our basic liberties over the course of the last decade. Do you feel safer being poked, prodded, inspected and observed at every turn? If so, continue on in your belief that the government should coddle you from the cradle to the grave. If not, I urge you to examine the warped ideologies that have brought us here. Read and understand your basic constitutional rights. Then take a stand. Christopher M. Cannon Hazleton

Resident without children feels school tax is unfair

or years I have been hounded by the Berkheimer tax collection agency for nonpayment of the per capita school tax for the Dallas School District. Recently, my wages were garnished to pay for this immoral tax, wherein citizens are forced to pay for other people’s children’s educations. Since I have chosen to not have the responsibility of raising children, it is wrong that I should be forced to pay for other people’s children. To put it simply: It’s communism. On top of that, taxpayers’ names and addresses sometimes are derived from the records of those people who register to vote. I’ve known this for years, because I know other people in my area who are never harassed to pay this tax. That is because they aren’t responsible enough to do their patriotic duty of voting. So, in

effect, the people of Dallas Township are taxed for the right to vote. If this isn’t illegal, it should be. George Brian Ferrell Dallas

Resident applauds races, but has some concerns

udos to the two Swoyersville council candidates for taking the initiative to run in contested races for public office. They provided the needed competition that had been lacking in the past and represented new blood. Although they were not elected, they can take pride not only in the fact that these were close races, but that they made them so without support of the party machine and extended family. Congratulations also to Joe Olejnick Jr. on his re-election. It was nice to see him take the initiative to campaign now that he had some opposition. Competition provides for good government. I had planned on sending him a note of congratulations but have decided to use this forum, particularly since he used the same forum to thank his supporters. I was, however, disenchanted that he referenced me as his opponent’s biggest supporter and source of negative attacks on him. It is unfortunate that Joe interpreted my questions regarding his voting on council issues as negative. After all, he is my council representative, and I am open to meeting with him any time to discuss any issues he might have. At the same time I also would like to discuss the issues I brought to his attention: Brdaric mining expansion, police budget, etc. I would hope that we can establish a line of communication. I have no hidden agenda and supported Steve Nowroski because he is an independent thinker who will act in the best interest of the community. I would not hesitate to support him in any future endeavor. I am not aware of any unscrupulous activities occurring within the borough. I can say, however, that the two items of concern I mentioned to Mr. Olejnick (the purchase of a modular building for a police station located in the northernmost section of town, closer to West Wyoming, and the exchange of 40 acres of property for a water right-of-way) seemingly represented poor bargaining and were not in the best interest of the community or environment. These are not only my concerns, but also the concerns of numerous taxpayers. Finally, congratulations to Christopher Concert on his election as a new councilman. His determination to run again as an independent is admirable, as was his campaign flier. He represents new blood, and if he is able to deliver on any of his campaign promises, Swoyersville residents definitely will benefit. William Coniglio Swoyersville

New DA will bump up assistant, retain top detective A current prosecutor will get first assistant’s job, while Michael Dessoye will keep his $95,532 job.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – District Attorneyelect Stefanie Salavantis said Friday a current assistant district attorney will serve as her first assistant, while the county’s chief detective will remain in her administration.

DETECTIVES Continued from Page 1A

Maryanne Petrilla said of the longevity amount. Chief Detective Michael J. Dessoye, who was hired in 1979 and has the most seniority, received a $13,530 longevity bonus this year in addition to a 3.5 percent raise of $2,700, bringing his base compensation to $95,532. Detectives Gary Sworen and Daniel Yursha, hired in 1984, received longevity bonuses of $11,213 each in addition to their 3.5 percent raises. Petrilla said she never supported longevity bonuses because employees are already rewarded through raises and increasing vacation accruals. “I don’t think there should be a double reward. In these days when people are fortunate enough to have steady employment, that’s reward enough,” Petrilla said. The contract guarantees detectives a minimum four hours of pay when they’re called out after their shifts, and a total $39,644 in overtime has been paid to the detectives this year

Salavantis, 29, said Samuel Sanguedolce of Pittston will serve as first assistant district attorney, while Michael Dessoye will continue as chief of county detectives. Salavantis Sanguedolce said he was “thrilled” Salavantis “asked me to be first assistant and help implement her policies,” which will take effect in January. “I’m happy to still be a part of the pros-

to date. Yursha received the most overtime pay, $6,685. The detectives also are permitted to sell back unused holiday, vacation and personal days, as well as compensatory time based on their rate of pay. The county paid a total $39,232 for these cash-outs, including $8,818 to Dessoye for 24 days, $7,374 to Yursha for 21 days and $7,023 to Sworen for 20 days. Detectives receive 18 sick days, five personal days, 12 holidays and five to 30 vacation days annually, depending on years of service. The contract also provides each detective with a $1,050 clothing and equipment allowance and $1,200 per year to compensate for use of their cell or home phones. These two perks combined will cost the county $22,500 this year. With the raises and other benefits, Dessoye will receive a total of $110,282 this year, followed by Yursha with $107,618 and Sworen with $106,250. The remaining detectives will be paid $56,473 to $99,741, records show. Urban noted that detectives also take home county-owned vehicles, though the district at-

torney’s office has a policy forbidding the vehicles to be used for personal business. Yursha, who heads the detective union, could not be reached for comment Friday but said recently that his group is amicably negotiating with the county’s representatives. County Human Resources Director Andrew Check, who is on the county negotiating team, said both sides continue to negotiate in good faith and have not reached an impasse that would send the contract to binding arbitration. Commissioners have complained that arbitration-awarded contracts favor unions, though unions dispute that. “I feel the detectives are trying to negotiate a fair contract, but at the same time they can go to arbitration knowing their contract will be more generous than what we can offer,” Petrilla said. The new County Council will be responsible for approving union contracts after Jan. 2. County detectives work in the district attorney’s office and assist local police departments investigating crimes and deaths.

Tobyhanna employees, who provide such tremendous support to our Armed Forces,” Gibson said. According to the criminal complaint, federal agents searched Hahn’s home and found approximately two pounds of marijuana and $1,755 in cash. They also confiscated a handgun in proximity to a bag of marijuana. Hahn initially refused to identify the people to whom he sold marijuana, telling an FBI agent he did not want to

spurred the decision. “On the blood side of things, we thought this move would be better for us to get the products for our patients when they need them,” Jolley said. On its website, ITxM says it has been providing blood services in Pittsburgh and Chicago for 20 years and delivers nearly a

He is now prosecuting the homicide case of 29-year-old Joboar Stanley of Hazleton, charged in the February 2011 shooting death of Emmanuel Felix inside the two men’s East Mine Street home after a game of poker. As an assistant district attorney for the past nine years, Sanguedolce has

now a senior judge, and was appointed chief of detectives by then-District Attorney Robert Gillespie. He worked under four subsequent holders of the office. Both Dessoye and Salavantis did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Salavantis has not yet announced who will serve as the office’s deputy district attorney. The current first assistant, Jeff Tokach, receives a salary of $87,100. Dessoye is now paid $95,532 a year.

Kuren said after Yuknavich’s arrest on Tuesday that he would like to see more accountability as regards the annual monetary donation. “There used to be a board, but they don’t have any meetings; they don’t have any minutes of any meetings,” Naperkowski said. “John Yuknavich has full control, and he’s still the fire chief after all that happened in the last two months.” The Pennsylvania Fire Commissioner’s Office has no oversight over volunteer departments, an official

The companies said one of the goals will be to increase the number of blood drives and their convenience. Lynn Miller, Geisinger Clinical Enterprise executive vice president and chief administrative officer, said Geisinger and ITxM will focus on improving the relationship with donors by increasing blood drives, moving

them to convenient locations across the region, increasing time slots to hours convenient for donors and opening a designated blood-donation center in the region. “As a result,” Miller said, “we are pleased to announce we will be adding a minimum of 16 new jobs to our workforce.” Jolley said a regional blood center will be based somewhere in the Geisinger coverage area, likely in Columbia or Luzerne counties.

Slur leads Mountain Hawks to suspend Ryan Spadola for their FCS playoff game.

BETHLEHEM — Lehigh’s top receiver has been suspended for Saturday’s FCS quarterfinal at North Dakota State for forwarding a Twitter message that included a racial slur against members of the Towson University football team. The Division I Football Championship Committee announced Thursday that it had also reprimanded junior Ryan Spadola of Howell, N.J. The committee said in a statement that Spadola used “an inappropriate and repugnant racial reference” in retweeting the offending message, which had been sent to him by a friend before last week’s 40-38 win over Towson. “The football committee was very disappointed with the unsportsmanlike action taken by the student-athlete,” said committee chairman Jim O’Day, athletic director at Montana. “This was a very unfortunate incident, but racially insensitive characterizations are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

The NBA’s amnesty era is under way. Taking advantage of the league’s new get-out-of-a-contract card, the Orlando Magic waived Gilbert Arenas and the $62 million he was owed over the next three seasons as one of the very first moves after the lockout formally ended, and the New York Knicks were preparing to use the clause on Chauncey Billups — a precursor to adding Tyson Chandler as a free agent from the champion Dallas Mavericks. There was Dwight Howard trade talk, widespread reaction over the NBA’s decision to reject a proposed trade of Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, and dozens of moves in short order as teams worked briskly to start filling their rosters for a rapidly approaching season. And finally, rookies could become, well, rookies. Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick this year, signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as did No. 4 pick Tristan Thompson. The biggest news was likely yet to come, and New York was in the epicenter of speculation. Chandler was on his way to New York, though was not yet a member of the Knicks. A person with knowledge of the Knicks’ plans told The Associated Press that the team is planning to use the amnesty clause to waive Billups and possibly make other moves before having the ability to free up space for Chandler and what could be a $58 million deal over four years. In Portland, the news of the day was grim. The Blazers were told guard Brandon Roy will not play this season because of knee problems, and there were widespread reports that Roy is retiring. And while Portland resigned oft-injured center Greg Oden, it did so while saying he has “suffered a setback.” Oden has played in only 82 games in his first four seasons while dealing with major knee issues.

Teachers cash in Toronto teams for $1.3B The deal for the NHL’s Maple Leafs, NBA’s Raptors and Air Canada Centre is one of the richest in history.

By ROB GILLIES Associated Press Writer

TORONTO — Canada’s largest telecommunication companies announced Friday they have agreed to buy the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and NBA’s Toronto Raptors in a billion-dollar deal as the fierce telecom rivals seek content for their sports channels, digital properties and smartphones. Rogers Communications and BCE Inc purchased a majority stake in Maple Leaf

Sports and Entertainment from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan for about $1 billion in one of the richest sports deal in North American history. Rogers and BCE, major competitors in wireless, internet and cable, will each own 37.5 percent of Canada’s largest sports conglomerate while Toronto businessman Larry Tanenbaum upped his minority stake from 20 to 25 percent in a total sale worth $1.32 billion Canadian (US$1.3 billion) The storied Maple Leafs are hockey’s richest club and have long been the most followed hockey team in hockey-mad Canada. In all, the Leafs have won 11 Stanley Cups, but none since 1967. MLSE also owns the Air Canada Centre,

the home of the Maple Leafs and Raptors and a major concert venue in Canada’s largest city. The deal also includes the Toronto FC of Major League Soccer, a minor league hockey team, and the Leafs and Raptors TV stations. Rogers already owns the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team and their stadium, the Rogers Centre, as well as the Canadian sports channel Sportsnet. Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed said the Blue Jays are not a part of the deal. He said he was thrilled to be a part owner of the iconic Maple Leaf brand. BCE and Rogers are the largest wireless, internet and cable companies in Canada. They will share the sports content of MLSE.

Mohamed noted that Rogers and BCE worked together as broadcast partners at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. BCE controls the rival TSN sports channel Mohamed said it will bolster Sportsnet and their digital, print, mobile and radio properties. Mohamed said more people have wireless devices like smartphones and tablets and they want to watch live sports. Advertisers pay a premium for such viewers. “Sports content is king. Let’s face it nobody wants to watch a game two days later,” Mohamed said. “Between the two organizations I can’t think of anybody that can bring live sports to Canadians wherever they are without missing a second.”

George Cope, the president and CEO of BCE, said it delivers on their goal to deliver the best content to what he calls the “new four screen world that we live in.” “We believe, increasingly, that live content is going to be more and more important in the technology world and there is no better live content than the professional sports that we are talking about today,” Cope said. Cope said BCE will continue its minority ownership position in the NHL Montreal Canadiens despite owning part of the rival Maple Leafs. The deal will require regulatory approval and approval by each of the leagues. It’s expected to close next summer.

Ill. hires Beckman for $9M, 5 years D Wideman’s hat

trick carries Caps

Ohio State gets permission to have different staffs for bowl preparation, recruiting.

The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois will pay newly hired football coach Tim Beckman $9 million over five years. Athletic director Mike Thomas says Beckman will make about $1.6 million his first season and about $1.8 million on average for each year of his deal. Thomas said Beckman will be able to earn bonuses for bowl appearances and other benchmarks that are still being worked out. Beckman was introduced as the new Illini coach on Friday. He spent three years as head coach at Toledo. Beckman replaces Ron Zook who was fired last month. The 6-6 Illini will take on UCLA New Year’s Eve in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Zook was paid about $2.6 million to buy out the last two year of his contract — $1.3 million a season. North Carolina CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Larry Fedora sounded undeterred taking over a North Carolina program wounded by an NCAA investigation and facing sanctions. “To be honest with you, it didn’t scare me,” Fedora said Friday. “I’ve got a saying that adversity, it’s going to happen and it brings out the best in all of us. But when it does, you look it in the eye, you grab it by the throat and you choke it.” Earlier Friday, the school’s trustees approved a seven-year contract worth more than $1.7

The existing staff, under Luke Fickell, will prepare the Buckeyes on the field in the days leading up to and including their Gator Bowl game against Florida on Jan. 2. Then there is incoming coach Urban Meyer, who will handle only recruiting while hiring his own assistants. Ohio State requested the waiver permitting the arrangement and it was verbally approved by the NCAA on Nov. 28, the day the university officially introOhio State duced Meyer as its new coach. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Fickell has served as an interim State asked for and received since Jim Tressel was pressured NCAA approval to exceed the to resign on May 30 in the wake

million annually for the Southern Mississippi coach to become the permanent replacement for Butch Davis. The former offensive coordinator at Florida and Oklahoma State went 33-19 in four seasons at Southern Miss. Fedora led the 22nd-ranked Golden Eagles to the Conference USA championship and extended two impressive streaks — 10 straight bowl appearances and 18 consecutive winning seasons — in his final year in Hattiesburg, Miss.

of a scandal involving Buckeyes accepting cash and tattoos for signed memorabilia. The waiver specifies that no more than 10 coaches — and no more than seven at any one time — may be involved in recruiting. Ohio State asked for the waiver because otherwise it would have exceeded the maximum number of allowed coaches under NCAA rules. There have been some rumblings at other schools that the waiver gives Ohio State a competitive advantage because their coaching staffs must deal with bowl preparations and recruiting at the same time — with no additional people.

Plan the trips to the kitchen accordingly — because the clock should run and run and run some more, just as the teams like to do, when the academies reconvene today for the 112th edition of one of the most special rivalries in sports. “Honestly, coming in, when I initially got recruited and found out we were going to be running the triple option, I was kind of a little disappointed,” said Army senior Max Jenkins, one of three

return to Stanford for one more season. He was excellent, passing for 3,170 yards and 35 touchdowns for BCS-bound Cardinal (11-1). But on the way to what seemed like an enviable Heisman victory, RG3 zoomed past Luck with a memorable closing month, highlighted by victories against Oklahoma and Texas.

quarterbacks to start a game for the Black Knights this season, “because I came from a passing offense in high school that threw the ball 30 times a game.” Now he’s a convert. When his brother brought up the topic at Thanksgiving, Jenkins had a ready explanation for his change of heart. “Actually being in it, you learn to appreciate what it does,” Jenkins said. “It’s not just trying to spread the field and throw it to the superior athlete. It really does take a team effort and all 11

guys in this offense, and if one guy messes up, we’re going to get a loss of a couple of yards. “But when everybody’s working together and it’s all clicking, it’s pretty fun to have those 13-, 14-play touchdown drives and wear down defenses.” Army has the top rushing offense in the nation, averaging 350.9 yards per game. Navy is fourth at 313.7. Army has thrown only 91 passes all season, by far the fewest among FBS schools. Navy has the next fewest, having tossed the ball just 132 times. “Once I started to finally understand it, I think this is the coolest offense there is,” Navy fullback Alexander Teich said. “You leave three guys at the

point of attack unblocked, that’s almost unheard of in any other kind of offense. It’s a fast-hit, quick-play, quick-hit, big-play kind of offense. You look at how many plays you have over 30 yards over the course of the season.” The triple option has been an unqualified success for Navy over the years, but a porous defense means the Midshipmen (4-7) won’t be going to a bowl this season, ending a run of eight straight postseason appearances. But the game against Army (3-8) is a bigger deal anyway, and the Mids’ streak of nine consecutive wins over the Black Knights is what really counts.

“After the Oklahoma game all the players on the team realized that if we won out and we did it in style ... we’d be here,” he said. “I say we’d be here because that’s who I’m here for. I am here for those guys. “The Texas game was probably the most pressure we had all year to win a game. And we did it in convincing fashion.” Griffin and the Bears beat Texas 48-24 on Saturday in Waco, Texas, to finish the season 9-3, Baylor’s first nine-win season in 25 years. Lifting Baylor from the

doldrums — along with passing for 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns — is a big part of why Griffin is expected to break a Heisman trend on Saturday night. Seven of the last eight winners, including Reggie Bush who later vacated the title, played in the BCS national championship game, like Mathieu and Richardson will. The Southeastern Conference rivals meet again Jan. 9 in New Orleans. “It was a slugfest out there,” Richardson said about LSU’s 9-6

overtime victory in November. “I can’t wait for this rematch.” The recent exception to the BCS title game-Heisman connection was Tim Tebow, who won it in 2007 playing for a Florida team that finished the regular season 9-3. Griffin has some of that Tebow magnetism: good looks, a bright smile, comfortable in front of the camera and adored by his home fans. He’s not quite Tebow-famous, but he’s no longer just a regional star.

WASHINGTON — Dennis Wideman scored three powerplay goals and added an assist and the Washington Capitals beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Friday night. Wideman finished his first career hat trick and sealed the win with a shot from the point with 1:19 left in the game. Washington got even for its worst loss of the season with a good performance on the power play, which had been a weakness during the Capitals’ recent woes. Washington was 4 for 6 on the power play against Toronto, after going 3 for 51 in the previous 14 games. It was the first time this season the Capitals have scored more than two power-play goals. Nicklas Backstrom also scored and had two assists for Washington. Phil Kessel and Cody Franson scored for the Maple Leafs, who defeated Washington 7-1 in Toronto the last time these

teams met on Nov. 19.

Sabres 2, Panthers 1, OT

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jason Pominville scored at 2:19 of overtime, and Ryan Miller finished with 22 saves to lift the Buffalo Sabres past the Florida Panthers. Derek Roy also scored for the Sabres (15-11-2), who won for just the third time in their past nine games (3-4-2). Buffalo also won for only the second time in its past eight home games. Jason Garrison scored, and Scott Clemmensen finished with 18 saves for the Panthers (16-8-5), who failed to win their fourth straight for the first time since March 2008. Florida also missed an opportunity to climb over idle Philadelphia and into the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers and Panthers both have 37 points, but Philadelphia has played two fewer games. Pominville notched the winner with a wrist shot on a breakaway from the blue line.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari says being the coach of Kentucky is a 24-hour job and one he doesn’t see doing for more than a decade. Calipari is in his third year with the currently top-ranked Wildcats and says he had a recent conversation with former Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall, who mentioned that a long run at Kentucky would be about 10 years. The 52-year-old Calipari says he wants to avoid becoming a “bitter old coach” and wants to have a life after basketball. Calipari says he isn’t in a hurry to leave, but that he’ll know when it’s best to go. Calipari spent eight years at Massachusetts and nine years at Memphis before taking over Kentucky. He also had a 21⁄2-year run with the New Jersey Nets before heading to Memphis. WOMEN Connecticut 70, Seton Hall 37

Nanticoke’s Kayley Schinski (13) pulls up for a jumper as Pittston Area’s Kristen Ferack defends Monday night at Nanticoke.

Several teams built for deep playoff runs Crestwood, Nanticoke and Valley West are the cream of a deep conference crop.

By VAN ROSE For The Times Leader

The battle for supremacy in the Wyoming Valley Conference appears to be a three-team race between Nanticoke, Wyoming Valley West and Crestwood. At least on paper, that is. But you can’t discount perennial power Holy Redeemer and Pittston Area, which could prove to be a dragon slayer. Nanticoke ended last season with a heartbreaking loss to Holy Redeemer in the opening round of the District 2, Class 2A playoffs. This year, the Trojanettes have their sights set much higher—winning the district championship and possibly making a deep run in the state tournament. “We have a lot of potential, no doubt” coach Alan Yendrziewski said. “Our kids are hungry for it. If there was every any doubt we couldn’t take games from the best teams in the area, it has been removed.” Nanticoke is quick, talented and deep. Led by junior forward Kayley Schinski and senior Teresa Kalinay, the Trojanettes have the potential to put up points in droves. Their full-court press makes them terrors on defense. Most importantly, Nanticoke is 10-deep, giving Yendrziewski the luxury of making regular substitutions without losing skilled players. Its game offensively is racehorse basketball. “We’re a perimeter oriented team,” Yendrziewski said. “We like to shoot and put defensive pressure on our opponents. We have a lot of experienced players that play at a high level.” Nanticoke isn’t big. Its starting center is 5-9 senior Katie Wolfe, but the Trojanettes blistering speed is capable of creating chaos. Yendrziewski said Wolfe is the team’s most improved player. “She worked on her jump shot and extended her range,” he said. “She’s a tough kid who is not afraid to bang inside with the biggest players in the league.” Contenders abound Wyoming Valley West also has designs on a possible run in the state tournament. The Spartans have a top-five player in 5-11 senior forward Tara Zdancewicz, a two-year all-star. Zdancewicz is a power forward who goes to the basket with a vengeance. “She’s in the best shape of her career and she’s quicker than she’s ever been,” coach Curt Lloyd said. “She’s totally dedicated. The team looks up to her due to her work ethic.” The Spartans have plenty of experience. Senior guard Kait-

lyn Smicherko is one of the best defensive players in the WVC. “Kaitlyn is like a war horse,” Lloyd said. “She always gets dirty and does the little things.” Senior forward Taylor Reilly is a force on the front line. “She always plays around the rim,” Lloyd added. The Spartans are shooting for a 20-win season and a district title. “Our goals are high,” Lloyd said. “We want to win a state tournament game for the first time in school history.” Crestwood has two exceptional players — 6-foot senior forward Sarah Andrews and 5-11 senior forward Sydney Myers, a transfer from Holy Redeemer. “We’re expecting a lot from Andrews,” coach Isiah Walker said. “She’s a great soccer player who has become a great basketball player. She’s faster and quicker than everybody else, and she attacks the basket.” Myers thrives on offensive rebounds, but also can score from the perimeter. She’s a fierce competitor as well. “She’s a major presence,” Walker said. “This year we can go inside or outside. Teams are going to have to pack it in and respect our shooters.” Teams reloading Holy Redeemer lost eight seniors, but the Royals are still a force. Senior guard Julia Wignot is a do-everything leader, while sharp-shooting guard Shannon Murray is one of the best pure shooters in the league. The Royals have high hopes for freshman for 5-11 freshman forward Alana Wilson, who coach Chris Parker regards as a future star. “This kid is going to be very very good,” Parker said. “She can play any position on the floor, and she’s going to get significant playing time.” Pittston Area has serious potential, thanks mainly to 5-10 junior forward Mia Hopkins, who is a force inside. Hopkins was the league’s second-leading scorer last year (18.1 points) “Mia has improved her range,” coach Kathy Healey said. “She’s very intense. She’s a great shock blocker, great defender and is the vocal leader of our team.” PLAYERS TO WATCH: Mia Hopkins (Pittston Area), Kayley Schinski (Nanticoke), Tara Zdancewicz (Wyoming Valley West), Sarah Andrews (Crestwood), Cayle Spencer (LakeLehman), Sydney Myers (Crestwood), Lisa Kintner (Tunkhannock), Sammy Gow (Nanticoke), Teresa Kalinay (Nanticoke), Alana Wilson (Holy Redeemer), Danielle Tuzinski (Hanover Area), Alivia Womelsdorf (Northwest), Ann Romanowski (Wyoming Seminary), Kaitlyn Smicherko (Wyoming Valley West).

Report: Former players accuse CEO of child sex abuse The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Two former basketball players have accused Amateur Athletic Union president Robert “Bobby” Dodd of molesting them as children, according to an ESPN report. The network reported Friday that the AAU is investigating the claims, which date from the 1980s. One of the players, 43year-old Ralph West, told ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” he was assaulted in Memphis in 1984. Both West and a second unidentified man said news reports about the Penn State child sex abuse case prompted them to independently confront Dodd in November. The player who spoke to ESPN on the con-

dition of anonymity said he called Dodd on Nov. 11 and that Dodd apologized for the alleged abuse. ESPN confirmed an 8-minute call to Dodd by examining telephone records. Memphis police said in a statement that it had been contacted by the AAU and was looking into the allegations. “The Memphis Police Department takes allegations of child sexual abuse very seriously,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said. “Although this case has its challenges due to the amount of time that has passed, it will be thoroughly examined; and if the investigation reveals the law was violated, the person responsible will be held account-

able.” The AAU did not immediately return a call to its Orlando, Fla., headquarters seeking comment. The AAU told ESPN the 63-year-old Dodd has colon cancer and will not return to his post. AAU first vice president Louis Stout will serve as interim president. Both accusers said they never went to police and only recently told their families. West said Dodd fondled him, tried to fondle him or masturbated in front of him at Dodd’s home in Memphis, the AAU Junior Olympics in South Bend, Ind., and tournaments in Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee. He told ESPN there were a half-dozen times from 1983-85

in which Dodd either molested or attempted to molest him and that in each incident Dodd would sneak into his room “in the middle of the night and you don’t hear anything ... and he’s trying to reach his hand in your underwear, basically.” Dodd did not respond to ESPN’s requests for comments. His assistant told the network in an email that he had cancer and had retired from the AAU on Nov. 29 for health reasons. Robin Brown-Beamon, national chairwoman for the AAU athletics executive committee, was surprised by the allegations. “That’s the first I’ve heard of any of it,” Brown-Beamon told ESPN.

in the middle.” Nanticoke also put on a defensive clinic by forcing at least 40 turnovers that led to several fast break baskets. Coughlin struggled mightily with its ball handling. The Crusaders were simply unable to hang on to the ball more than 15 or 20 seconds on most possessions. “We quit counting the turnovers after 40,” Coughlin coach Tony George said. “I thought we played very hard, but we couldn’t handle their defensive pressure.” Kalinay, who paced Nanticoke with 11 points, said the Trojanettes played nearly flawless defense. “We did a good job of pressing and disrupting their shots,” Kalinay said. “We played with great intensity and worked hard.” Nanticoke got a big lift from reserve guard Sara Higgins, who scored seven consecutive points, including the last basket of the second quarter the first two of the third. “I got a lot of help from my teammates,” Higgins said. “We ran a lot of plays and executed well.” Kalinay led Nanticoke in three-pointers with three. Schinski scored 10 points, while Sammy Gow tallied eight points. A total of 10 Trojanettes broke into the scoring column.

European deal sends stocks higher

Driller doubles gas output

Range Resources says that natural gas production from its Marcellus Shale wells has reached the equivalent of 400 million cubic feet per day. The company, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas, says in a release that the daily production from wells in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus region roughly doubled from the end of 2010, and matched its targets. The firm is aiming for 600 million cubic feet per day of Marcellus production by the end of 2012.

MF Global funds released

The judge overseeing the bankruptcy of MF Global has approved releasing roughly $2 billion more in frozen funds to customers of the firm. It’s the third transfer of funds to MF Global customers since the firm filed for bankruptcy protection on Oct. 31. The transfer will bring the total distributed to customers so far to about $4 billion. Once completed, MF Global commodities customers will have recovered about 72 percent of their money, according to the trustee for the liquidation of the brokerage firm. The frozen funds are separate from the $1.2 billion or more that is estimated to be missing from MF Global customer accounts.

its debt crisis. The market will likely remain volatile in the coming weeks, Detrick said, because the Europe plan is “only a minor step” toward a solution. “We’ve seen these agreements before, and they can just as easily deteriorate,” Detrick said.

A deal on tighter fiscal control is considered a crucial step before the European Central Bank will consider committing more money to lower borrowing costs of heavily indebted countries like Italy and Spain by buying their bonds. Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaffer’s Investment Research, cautioned that investors have been disappointed by Europe’s previous efforts to contain

Deficit in trade hits low

STRONG WORDS FOR THE ECONOMY

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

New tire doesn’t need air

WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in October to its lowest point of the year after Americans bought fewer foreign cars and imported less oil. The shrinking trade gap boosted growth over the summer and may do so again in the final three months of the year. But economists worry the trend could reverse next year, especially if Europe’s debt crisis worsens. The Commerce Department said Friday that the trade deficit shrank 1.6 percent to $43.5 billion. It was the fourth straight monthly decline. Overall imports fell 1 percent to $222.6 billion, which largely reflected a 5 percent decline in oil imports. The average price of imported oil fell for the fifth straight month to the lowest level since March. Exports slipped 0.8 percent to $179.2 billion, the first drop after three months of gains. Shipments of industrial supplies, such as natural gas, copper and chemicals, fell. Exports of autos and agricultural goods also dropped. Excluding oil, the trade deficit actually rose to $33.2 billion in October. Imports of consumer goods increased, as retailers stocked up for the holiday shopping season. Pharmaceutical imports also increased.

Major Japanese tire manufacturers have released prototypes of next-generation products with more environmentally friendly features just in time for this year’s Tokyo Motor Show: a tire that does not need air to inflate and another made only of nonpetroleum materials. Bridgestone Corp.’s new “air-free” tire uses a special kind of meshlike resin on the sides of the tire to support a vehicle’s weight. Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. has released a prototype of a new tire that does not use petroleum or any other kinds of fossil fuels by replacing them with plantderived additives.

ALMANAC Recorded at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Int’l Airport River Levels, from 12 p.m. yesterday.

Much colder air is now moving in with some early morning cloudiness and scattered flurries. But northerly winds today will usher in very dry air during the afternoon, turning skies clear and setting the stage for a very cold night, the coldest so far this season. Under a full moon, temperatures will dip down to near 20 in most places. A very high barometer reading on Sunday and Monday will mean sunny skies both days and light winds. With the winter solstice now less than two weeks away, the sun's path across the sky is about as low as it gets all year, being, at most, only 25 degrees above the horizon at noon.

hirteen thousand. • That’s almost half the number of lights that now adorn the tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City. It’s also the precise number of lights a home on George Avenue in the Parsons section of Wilkes-Barre will use to brighten up this holiday season. • The Klimuszka family – parents John and Mary and sons Matthew, 20, and Lucas, 16 – has left behind plastic and inflatable figurines to focus strictly on lights as Christmastime decorations. The preference is becoming more budget-friendly thanks to LED (or light-emitting diode) lights, which save on energy costs. For the Klimuszkas, though, a good portion of their decision comes down to personal taste. “Many of those blow-up or plastic decorations are gaudy,” John said. “We like the lights because they’re cheery and simple.” But just how many lights are right? That also depends on personal taste, as is evident to anyone who traverses the Wyoming Valley – or anywhere else in the country for that matter – this time of year. “Matthew just wanted to make sure our house could be

fence and shed, Matthew designed a Christmas tree and several snowflakes to place on each side of the home with eye hooks through which he strings the lights. They’re a mix of incandescent and LED lights. “We’re slowly introducing the LEDs into it,” John said. “Eventually we’d like to have all LEDs.” All-LED ultimately was the way to go for Donna and Jason Kilgore of Shoemaker Street in Forty Fort. “At first I was very against them,” Donna, 29, said. “I didn’t like how bright they

Holiday lights are exempt from bulb efficiency law By HOLLY RAMER Associated Press

ove to deck the halls with old-fashioned incandescent lights? Don’t worry: Holiday lights are exempt from the new energy-saving standards for light bulbs that will take effect next year. From outdoor icicle lights hanging from eaves to strands of twinkle lights wrapped around a Christmas tree, lights used for holiday decorating are considered “specialty bulbs” and aren’t affected by the standards being phased in starting in January. That was welcome news to holiday light fanatic Chuck Taylor, who said the standards created a stir in the online forum he runs at Planetchristmas.com. “This was a very popular subject last year,” said Taylor, a holiday-light consultant in Franklin, Tenn. Many Christmas lights already are more energy-efficient than the old-fashioned incandescents. Some fans of traditional lights complain that the more energy-efficient LED lights don’t produce the same colorful halo effect as older bulbs. Strands of LEDs also are more expensive than incandescents, though the LEDs are much cheaper to run and are often more durable. The new efficiency standards apply to the familiar household screw-in bulbs, and while they don’t specifically ban traditional incandescents, they require bulbs to have a higher level of efficiency than the classics can pro-

f a whole ’nother year has passed and your same-old artificial tree still leans and your same-old lights still have the same few bulbs out and your house is only 10 percent cooler – not talking temperature – than it was last year at this time (though your goal was a modest 50 percent) does it still count as Christmas? Blame it on the 60-degree days of late or the torturously quick passage of time, but I’d wager a 10th of a day’s pay that someone somewhere has figured out a way in the past 10 years to shave a few days off the 365 we supposedly have between Christmases without any solid evidence we could use to convict. Either that or advancing age is just a cruel, cruel mistress. Last year at this time, as usual, I swore that next year at this time this sad little “slim-line” tree would be history. It’s cute and all and snaps together in three easy pieces. Trouble is by the third piece it gets a little tipsy, and by the 13th ornament you pretty much have to cut it off, lest it topple to the floor, inebriated, so to speak, from one too many decoratives. (Target, you let me down here, friend.) I’d have replaced it already, except somehow I still entertain the fantasy I can go back to the way things once were. Cue the nostalgia crew and rewind the clock only a decade or so. On that Friday called Black, not a speck of shopping would be done. Not by me. No, I’d eagerly await the honk of the horn from the big van ready to transport me, along with other fervent extended family members, to a magical little, almost-private woods, where, in a kind of clearing, sat a painting-worthy white wooden house with a weathered picnic table, atop which rested a small chopping saw. (It’s all prettier than I make it sound, promise.) A hand-carved sign read: “All trees $10.” (If I’m not here, help yourself.) Remember honor systems? We’d leave our 10 bills each, and off we’d go to run through all the requisite steps in that delicious ritual of tracking down the perfect trees. Hours might pass before the anointed ones would get strapped to the top of the van and maybe wedged somehow inside it, and the sheer joy of a mystical, magical season could officially begin. Then one day it rained in sheets, complete with sleet, on the appointed Friday, a substitute date could not be agreed upon (differing schedules, busy lives), and artificial trees were called in as “temps.” You know what they say about anything “temporary,” right? Yeah, I’ll probably have this little Leaning Tower of Christmas as long as I have, say, my kitchen floor, no matter how many showrooms and catalogs I ogle. Some things, maybe, are just meant to hang with us. Others not so much. Into the record I submit a set of shiny icicle ornaments festooned, at least early on, with bright, cheery holly berries. Over time, glue (even the hot stuff) is about as dependable as an overstressed muscle. Pulling out the ornament box each year is like pulling up to the future in a runaway truck: As goes this plastic icicle, so goes this human vessel: Each leaf or berry that wanders astray is another strand of hair, another eyelash, another … But just turn on the radio – so gloriously predictable each December – and let the old sounds bring you back. A personal favorite? Fall on your knees (creaky though they may be). Followed by A long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say … Even if the house is a shambles and the tree a tease, even if the bones are weary and our yokes are killing us … We can deny it all outright. Hark now hear the angels sing, a new king born today … And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day. Reach Sandra Snyder, the editor of At Home, at 831-7383 or ssnyder@timesleader.com.

were. They lacked the warmth of the old lights we had. But then I got our electric bill and, well, I was fine with using LEDs.” “LED lights use anywhere from 80 to 90 percent less electricity than traditional Christmas lights,” said Sandee Shook, a sales associate who works in Christmas Land at Main Hardware on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre. There is a slight increase in cost, but the extra outlay might pay off in the long run, as LEDs last longer than incandescents. Main Hardware sells a set of 100 traditional bulbs for $7.99, while a set of 70 LEDs sells for $12.99. As was the case for Donna Kilgore, some find the blue-brightness of LEDs a turnoff. Now, however, LEDs come in two brightness levels: warm white and cool white. Cool white is the brighter of the two and tends to have the blue tint. Warm white runs more along yellow lines and gives off a softer glow. These lights can be comparable to C7 and C9 bulbs, the traditional incandescents, and are best used when going for a traditional look. Though the Kilgores lean toward a traditional look, they still cover their home’s exterior from bottom to roof with lights. For some, though, a similar aesthetic can be achieved in a simpler design. Tom and Linda McGeehan of Washington Avenue in West Wyoming once went for a coverall approach to holiday decorating, but with age came a need for simpler décor. “I’d rather not have to climb on to the roof and hang lights,” Tom said. “We’re happy with what we’ve got now, the bottom half and some of the bushes out front,” Linda said. “It’s still elegant, without having to do too much work.”

Rules to live by Step 1: Check your attitude. “The most important thing is to view them as members of your family and not as guests,” says David Horgan, co-author of “When Your Parent Moves In: Every Adult Child’s Guide to Living with an Aging Parent” (Adams Media). “When a child spills on your carpet, you might get upset, but you deal with it and move on. When a guest spills on your carpet, you sort of fret, ‘I can’t believe that guy did that.’ You have to accept them and give them unconditional love as a member of the family.” And remember that all parties are making sacrifices in the arrangement. “When my mother-in-law moved in, all I saw was what was happening to my schedule and my family dynamic,” Horgan admits. “I wasn’t thinking about everything she had to give up to live with us. She used to garden every day, and now she was living with us in this tight little spot.”

In her book, “Under One Roof Again: All Grown Up and (Re) learning to Live Together Happily” (Lyons Press), Susan Newman offers handy checklists to prepare families embarking on the cohabitating journey. Here she offers the cardinal rules: ••• Be realistic about what you can expect and how each family member can help. Don’t let money problems cloud personal feelings. Be grateful and make concessions. Keep your boundaries strong and respect those of others. Don’t rehash past negatives. Move on. Use humor to ease sticky situations. Be understanding of the difficult problems a relative may face. Retain a “we’re in this together” attitude while holding on to your separate life. Focus on all the good things you share.

Step 2: Establish ground rules. “Boundaries are the most important part of having a healthy relationship when you have everyone under one roof,” Horgan says. “If you make things up as you go, when you do have a conflict you’re going to be dealing with it during an emotional time.” For starters: When are they most likely to entertain guests? How often will you all be sharing meals? Who handles what chores? What are the financial arrangements? You’ll also want to address how, if at all, the new arrangements will affect grandparenting. Boundaries will preserve the peace ahead of time and protect the relationship for the long haul.

The verbal and emotional jousting of three generations living under one roof is delightful to watch on “Parenthood,” an NBC drama in which Lauren Graham’s character — with two teenagers in tow — moves in with her retired parents. The increased closeness doesn’t have to spell drama and angst, experts say. The living arrangements can actually be a wonderful, enriching experience for all involved, whether an aging parent is moving in with the kids or adult children are crashing with their parents for a spell.

Tips to stay cool the during holidays

duce. Joseph Higbee, a spokesman for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, said there are new halogen incandescent bulbs that meet the standards, and consumers have a choice among those, compact fluorescent and the light-emitting diode, or LED, bulbs, he said. LED holiday lights have been around for years, and sales have increased as new varieties — including some that attempt to mimic the warmer glow of incandescent lights — hit store shelves. The Home Depot, which started selling LED lights in 2006, sold enough strands last year to circle the globe 1.5 times. In Claremont, N.H., Brian Mitchell has set up the 45,000light display he puts up in his yard every year. He spent about $1,200 on LED lights this year, not because he was worried the old lights would disappear from store shelves but because he wants to keep up with the latest in lighting technology. Mitchell, whose obsession started with decorating every room in his house with paper chains when he was a kid, set up his first outdoor display about 20 years ago with one plastic Santa and a single string of lights. Today, his small yard is covered with snowmen, toy soldiers, a miniature carousel and other scenery, all adorned with lights programmed to flash and blink in synch to holiday music. It takes him about 10 hours to program each minute of the 7-minute show he runs every 15 minutes nightly from Nov. 25 until Christmas. “Seeing how much the people enjoy it drives me to get it done every year,” said Mitchell, a grocer who donates the money he collects from his holiday light show to a children’s hospital.

Low-cost ambience with no chimney

Hoen, an Xcel Energy spokes- tric fireplace is much less likely to be overturned than a space heatman. To their credit, electric fire- er. And wood-burning fireplaces Jerry Prokes of Lakeville, Minn., didn’t hold back when he places are safer and greener than can be environmentally and physdescribed an electric fireplace as most space heaters. A large elec- ically harmful. looking like “a piece of junk.” The plastic nodules meant to convey white landscape rocks or whitehot coals looked kitschy at best. But Prokes is no purist who insists on a wood-burning fireplace. He recently bought a different electric model for $400 at Sam’s Club with a cherry mantel that he’s satisfied with. “From a distance, the flames look real,” he LICENSED & INSURED said. Call Now For Free Estimates! Fireplaces feed the need to take the chill off, but adding a gas or wood-burning chimney in a home can easily cost $3,000 or more. Electric models with builtin space heaters supply some of the ambience and as much heat as the real thing — for a fraction of the cost. In these turbulent economic times, “plug and play” fireplaces have become a hot commodity for people who want a looky, lower-cost option to the real thing. Sales at ElectricFireplacesDirect.com have risen 30 percent each year since 2008, said sales manager Lori Stockset. “The low initial price and the zone heating add up to cost savings, but a lot of people just want the ambience,” she said. Electrics solve several issues. Venting is never a problem because a glorified space heater doesn’t require venting. And calling an electrician isn’t necessary. With the illusion of a flame created by a simple incandescent or LED light bulb and the warmth coming from a 1,500-watt heater, only a three-prong plug-in is needed. Plus placement is flexible beRegency Classic cause all models are portable and Wood Stoves fairly shallow in depth (about 12 to 15 inches), whether it’s a small stove heater or a 72-inch-long fireplace media center. While most people buy the electric models for the coziness factor, Stockset said some customers claim they’ve saved money by turning down the house Hitzer Handfired thermostat and warming only the room they’re in. However, Coal Stoves Consumer Reports magazine said turning the thermostat to below 60 degrees and heating only one room isn’t practical for most 2540 SR 29 S, Tunkhannock 298-2150 homeowners because they move www.ﬁreplacegallerynepa.com from room to room frequently.

Woman questions her future with her unaffectionate boyfriend Dear Abby: I am 28 and have dated my boyfriend “Dan” for two years. We have lived together for the past year. I fell for him the moment I laid eyes on him and have always imagined we would spend the rest of our lives together. My problem is Dan shows me almost no affection. He doesn’t tell me he loves me unless I say it first; he never wants to cuddle next to me or hug me when he gets home from work. He insists that he loves me, and says his lack of demonstrativeness is because he didn’t grow up in an affectionate household and it makes him uncomfortable. I feel Dan is an adult and can

DEAR ABBY ADVICE choose to make his household — our household — one filled with love and affection. It’s starting to make me question whether we really have a future together. Am I overreacting? — No Hugs, No Cuddles in Philly Dear No Hugs, No Cuddles: No. You’re an intelligent woman, and you’re asking intelligent questions. Before making up your mind about Dan, make clear to him what your needs are. Demonstrate the kind of affection you need from him, and see if he’s willing to make the effort. If

he’s not up to it, then — face it — he’s not the man for you. To marry someone who can’t show love would be for you to live on an emotional starvation diet. Dear Abby: I live in Japan and love your column. It is informative and helps me stay in touch with America. But I need to get something off my chest. I am beyond tired of the number of women I read about in your column who refer to their wedding day as “my special day.” News flash, ladies: You should be using the term “OUR special day”! If you’re so focused on your dress and hair and any faux pas — real or imagined — your guests may commit that you lose focus on the life you and your husband are be-

ginning, perhaps you should buy a pet rather than get married. Any person who has stayed married for more than a few years knows the marriage ceremony is the easy part. The self-absorption that permeates today’s wedding scene ranges from embarrassing to sickening. — Rob in Tomakomai Dear Rob: Weddings (and funerals) can bring out the worst in people because they are times when emotion sometimes trumps common sense. The majority of American brides are gracious, polite, loving and hardworking. They are also prepared for the realities that come after the fairy tale wedding. (And if they’re not, I hear from them!) Please don’t judge all American brides by the ones you read

about in my column. The weddings that go smoothly I don’t hear about.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll evaluate yourself and others on the basis of character. This has little to do with accomplishment, ownership, attractiveness or popularity. It has to do with feeling well and doing good. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Although you are capable of handling surprises well, you prefer not to have to deal with them. You will be content with what is presented to you from a familiar stance and on known territory. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Social events will catalyze positive movement toward a goal. Once you tell people exactly the change you are looking for, the change will happen quickly. You can afford to be boldly instructive. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t worry too much about what to do. Just pick something you haven’t done before. Your spiritual awareness will be opened. It’s not the activity itself but the novelty of it that will put you in a fresh state of mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may lose your self-discipline for moments; impulse control can be tricky. Preventive measures can be taken, though — for example, slowing down, staying calm and removing yourself from stressful situations and obvious triggers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You never can know for sure what people are going through. Sometimes their smiles are a cover-up for desperation. You’ll give compassion to someone who has had a tough time lately, whether or not you realize this.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You love those you need, and you need those you love. Your choice to spend more time at home and with your family will be rewarded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have moments of doubt and even more moments of excitement. The key is not to resist any of the feelings. See where they take you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll experience a surge of devotion, feelings of loyalty and a willingness to renew your commitments. To love and love well takes time and patience, and you have plenty of both. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have become used to feelings of “been there, done that,” and you crave fresh excitement. You will be inclined to follow an unpredictable path just to see where it leads. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be mindful to create healthy bonds and steer away from the kind of betrayal bonding that comes from two people connecting in shared resentment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll find your company delightful. You have a way of asking the questions that lead to interesting stories and perhaps even shared adventures. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 10). You will be rather driven in the new year. An idea you once thought was wildly unrealistic will come to being because you have faith and focus with great intensity on the goal. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 40, 19 and 38.

Chrysler 300 is powerful and full of poise LARRY PRINTZ WHEELS

SOME IMPORTANT NUMBERS FOR THE CHRYSLER 300:

couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon an issue of Time magazine from 1939 at a flea market in Syracuse, N.Y. On the cover was K.T. Keller, the man who took over Chrysler Corp. from Walter P. Chrysler Sr. As unusual as it was to read about Hitler as breaking news, the magazine’s cover story was a remarkable coincidence; the vehicle I had chosen to make the excursion north from Virginia was the redesigned 2011 Chrysler 300C. For 300 owners, the new model, which will be unchanged for 2012, holds a bit of controversy. Chrysler has softened its tough-guy stance through an extensive facelift. While the overall shape is similar, many details have changed. Up front, the all-new grille features seven horizontal blades. Flanking the grille are revised headlamps with LED-illuminated daytime running lamps, which form a “C” when lit. Revised fenders and distinctive horizontal tail lamps, which take their shape from 300s of the late ’50s and early ’60s, endow the car with a tailored appearance. While the car’s distinctive proportions mimic those of its predecessor, the windshield has been raked back 3 inches and the doors have thinner pillars to improve outward visibility. The styling refinements trade some of the 300’s gangsta look for a sophisticated grace. This same dose of civility can

—Engine: 5.7-liter OHV V8 —Wheelbase: inches

120.1

—Length: 198.6 inches —Weight: 4,513 pounds —Cargo space: 16.3 cubic feet —EPA rating (city/highway): 15/23 mpg —Fuel consumption: 25.5 mpg

For 2012, Chrysler has softened the 300’s “tough guy” stance with an extensive facelift.

found inside the car, as designers reworked the cabin. The cabin is significantly richer in feel, thanks to an abundance of soft-touch materials, real wood trim, Nappa leather seats and French seams. A new instrument cluster features two large gauges with soft blue lighting and chrome accents that would look at home on a chronograph. But the main feature of the cabin is the screen in the center of the instrument panel, which is framed in a shape taken from the grille surround. The screen’s software is

user-friendly and among the easiest I have ever used. But the navigation system graphics seem crude and lack the sophistication of the rest of the car. The cabin is very roomy, both front and rear. Front seats are wide and comfortable, despite the lack of side bolstering. Seat ventilation and heaters are available as options. The rear seat is spacious enough that if someone back there hollers, “Home, James,” you shouldn’t be offended. The trunk isn’t quite as large as you might expect, but still roomy

enough and usefully shaped. The 2011 Chrysler 300 is offered in four trim levels: base 300, 300 Limited, 300C and top-of-the-line 300C All-Wheel-Drive. The 300 and 300 Limited feature Chrysler’s excellent new 292horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine, which returns 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway. The 300C and 300C AWD use Chrysler’s powerful 263-hp 5.7liter Hemi V8, which returns 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway with rear-wheel drive, 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway with all wheel drive.
