Luzerne County’s new home rule government must get by on $3.5 million less next year if the proposed 2012 budget unveiled Friday stands. Spending would be reduced from $125.2 million to $121.7 million next year, requiring widespread staffing cuts, particularly in court branches. In addition to the loss of
$3.5 million, the new budget must absorb about $4.2 million in increases for debt repayments and costs associated with workers’ compensation, for a total $7.7 million hit. The county uses a $50,000 estimate per employee to calculate how many workers would have to be laid off, and it would amount to about 150 with reductions totaling $7.7 million. Court branches would

WILKES-BARRE – A rash of thefts in the Wyoming Valley and nearby is creating a hazard for drivers and walkers. Storm-drain covers have recently been stolen in Hanover
Township, Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes-Barre Township, and guard rails have been swiped from their posts along Oak Street in Old Forge and state Route 347 from Dunmore to Scott Township in Lackawanna County. No guard rails have been reported stolen along state owned roads in Luzerne County, said James May, a PennDOT regional spokesman. Replacing the covers and rails
has cost money. Drew McLaughlin, WilkesBarre spokesman, said it cost the city $1,650 to replace eight drain covers that were stolen last weekend. Five covers were stolen in the Pine Ridge area of the city and three were stolen in South Wilkes-Barre. “They are not stockpiled but purchased on an as-needed basis to replace due to normal mainteSee STORM GRATES, Page 12A

Joke goes up in smoke for customer The Associated Press
DELTONA, Fla. — Authorities say a central Florida man was arrested after jokingly trying to buy drugs at a Burger King drive-thru. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reports that 32-year-old Shawn Porter and a friend placed an order for “blunt and some herbs” at a Deltona Burger King Thursday night. A cashier smelled marijuana coming from their car and jotted
down the license plate of the car, and then a supervisor called 911. A deputy located Porter’s house by running the tag number and was waiting when Porter arrived home with a Burger King bag in his hand. The deputy reported finding 28 grams of marijuana in the car. Porter was charged with drug possession. He was being held on $1,000 bond. It’s not immediately known if he has an attorney.

"We’ve come a long way with getting our home back together," said Callahan, who had 3 feet of water on her first floor in the recent flooding. "But we’ve still got a long way to go. I’m grateful to the league for putting this together. It means so much." Organizers thanked the many sponsors and volunteers who donated goods, time and services to make the fundraiser a success.

Motor company presents new technology for cars to media, public
Ford revs up Power of Choice By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com
PLAINS TWP. – Hoping to show it leads the industry in electric-vehicle technology and offers consumers a variety of choices, Ford Motor Co. brought its Power of Choice Tour to the Wyoming Valley on Friday. Following a presentation to the media and some in the community who deal with fleets of vehicles or electric vehicle technology, electric vehicle test drives were offered to people who happened by the parking lot of The Café: An American Bistro on state Route 315. Anthony Della Zanna, a power train technology specialist with Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn, Mich., said Ford offers vehicles that deliver the best bang for the buck for every driving type – mainly city, mostly highway or an even mix of both. He said customers need to be educated on what type vehicle would be best for them, and Ford dealers that sell electric models are being trained on how to help customers make that choice as well as how to service the vehicles. “Power of Choice is customer choice,
it’s technology, innovation, lower costs, less environmental impact,” he said. On display were five of Ford’s fuel-efficient models, including the Transit Connect Electric van that gets 80 miles to a charge and is targeted to small businesses; the Focus Electric, which gets 100 miles to a charge and costs $2-$3 to fully charge; the Fusion Hybrid, which uses gasoline and electricity to get 41/36 mpg city/highway; the Explorer, an SUV with an EcoBoost engine that gets 20/28 mpg city/highway; and the Fiesta, with a gasoline engine that gets 29/ 40 mpg city/highway. Della Zanna said Ford has partnered with big box electronics chain Best Buy to sell Ford’s charging stations and install them at customers’ homes. The cost is about $1,500, he said. Della Zanna said some vehicles have “eco mode,” which gives drivers feedback on their driving while they’re driving. “Testing has shown that eco-mode driving … can result in up to 24 percent better fuel economy,” he said.

Lead Poisoning Program, said her company has a fleet of vehicles that travel across the state to test children for lead poisoning and, because the program is state-funded, it has a tight budget. “Fuel efficiency is a very important
factor” when buying a vehicle for the fleet, she said, adding that she was impressed with her test drive in the Explorer. “It has four cylinders but ran more like a six-cylinder. It was very solid,” she said.

Calling all angels for help People needed to take children’s tags from “Angel Trees” and buy presents. Others needed to organize, sort gifts. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – The Salvation Army needs a few hundred angels to help make children’s Christmas wishes come true. Capt. Patty Richwine, a Wilkes-Barre command officer, said the Wilkes-Barre corps has more than1,800 children registered for its Angel Tree program, in HOW TO which community HELP businesses, Angel Tree tags and can be adopted at: churches, schools place “An• Schiel’s Markets, gel Trees” at their 30 Hanover St. or 7 George Ave., location and ask Wilkes-Barre members or the • Sam’s Club, 441 public to choose a Wilkes-Barre tag for a child and Township Boulepurchase one or vard, or Wal-Mart, more gifts. 2150 Wilkes-Barre Township Market“Right now we place, Wilkes-Barre have over 400 chilTownship dren’s angel tree • The Salvation tags that have not Army, 17 S.

Pennsylvania Ave. and buying gifts for that child.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Maggie Richwine, 14, sorts gifts into boxes for particular families at the Salvation Army in Wilkes-Barre as part of the Angel Tree program. Many of the boxes remain empty and donations have not been returned to the organization.
An angel tag contains the first name, age, sex and clothing size of a child registered for the program and two or three items the child wants for Christmas. Donors who have a preference can choose a child to help based on their age and/or sex and even the kinds of gifts a child would like. And any gift suggestion on a tag is just that – a suggestion. Donors can buy any age-appropriate item they think a child will like. Despite the Dec. 5 deadline, angel tags can be adopted and items can be do-
nated through Dec. 19 – the day before distribution. The deadline might seem far in advance of Christmas, but Richwine said volunteers need time to sort and organize the thousands of gifts received so that they are age- and size-appropriate for the children. The volunteers also try their best to ensure that gifts for multi-child families are distributed as evenly and fairly as possible between the children in each family, especially if not every child in the family had their angel tag adopted or if someone bought more gifts for one child
than someone else bought for another. If some angel tree tags are not adopted, the Salvation Army will substitute gifts to children whose tags were not adopted as best it can with general donations of items and Toys for Tots donations from the U.S. Marine Corps, Richwine said.

Suit dropped as Bloomsburg U. reverses decision to expel field hockey player Lauren McGinley allowed to finish semester and will transfer to another school. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Bloomsburg University agreed Friday to reverse its decision to expel a field hockey player who is accused of assaulting a fellow student, ending a federal lawsuit the woman filed that alleged violations of her due process rights. William Vinsko, attorney for Lauren McGinley, said the parties amicably resolved the case following a hearing before U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner.
Conner had called the hearing to rule on a temporary restraining order Vinsko sought that would have forced the university to reinstate McGinley pending resolution of the dispute regarding her expulsion. McGinley, 20, of WilkesBarre, filed suit against the university on Wednesday, claiming the school’s disciplinary tribunal denied her a fair hearing on allegations she and two other field hockey players had assaulted a woman with whom McGinley had a dispute. The disciplinary hearing was based on criminal charges of simple assault and harassment that were filed against McGinley and the other wom-
en in connection with the Oct. 9 assault of Ashley Carsia, a graduate student at the university. McGinley faces a preliminary hearing on the charges on Dec. 28. Vinsko claimed the university violated McGinley’s due process rights in several ways, including refusing to allow her to cross examine her co-defendants, who testified at her disciplinary hearing outside of her presence. Jennifer Raup, the chairwoman of the disciplinary tribunal, testified the panel’s decision was based largely on the fact that McGinley’s version of events differed from that given by her three teammates and Carsia. McGinley was permitted to question Carsia, but not
her teammates, Raup acknowledged. Raup explained that, in cases in which more than one student is charged, the university questions them separately because it’s believed they will be more truthful. Conner expressed concern regarding that issue during Friday’s hearing. “Raup indicated it’s a credibility situation. Cross examination is a critical point in determining credibility,” Conner said. Under the agreement, McGinley can return to finish out the semester. She has voluntarily decided to transfer to another school next semester, Vinsko said. The university’s attorney Pa-
trick Cawley said Bloomsburg was happy to settle the matter given McGinley’s decision. “The university stands by its disciplinary procedures and its commitment to having a safe and secure campus environment,” Cawley said. “But the practical reality was that Ms. McGinley’s decided to leave the university at the end of the year, so the university was happy to part ways amicably.” Vinsko said he believed strongly in his client’s position. He commended the university for being willing to take a second look at its decision and resolve the matter. “All parties want to move forward. We believe justice was served,” he said.

STATE COLLEGE — Lawyers for a young man described in a grand jury report as a victim of sexual abuse by former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky said Thursday they settled a legal action regarding a charity’s assets. Harrisburg attorneys Ben Andreozzi and Jeffrey Fritz said the settlement protected the claim their client plans to assert to the assets of The Second Mile, a nonprofit for at-risk children Sandusky founded in 1977. “We intend to initiate a civil lawsuit seeking damages from the organizations and individuals responsible for the sexual assaults upon our clients,” the lawyers said in a release. “However, our priority at this time is to support our clients, including Victim No. 4, who will be testifying against Mr. Sandusky at the preliminary hearing.” Sandusky, 67, has been charged with sexual abuse of eight boys over a 15-year period. His preliminary hearing on 40 criminal counts is scheduled for Dec. 13 at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte. Andreozzi and Fritz said that under terms of the settlement, The Second Mile has agreed to obtain court approval before transferring assets or closing and give their client the ability to weigh in before a judge regarding any distribution of assets. The Second Mile released a statement calling the agreement a reiteration of its existing legal liabilities and saying it does not include a finding of liability. The Second Mile said earlier

STATE COLLEGE — The executive committee of Penn State University’s trustees met for four minutes Friday to publicly reaffirm a top-level staff shake-up that was approved in private three weeks ago amid the unfolding child sex-abuse scandal surrounding former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. None of the eight committee members who participated in the brief teleconference actually attended the public session at the Nittany Lion Inn. Instead, their voices were audible over a loudspeaker placed on a table surrounded by empty chairs. They unanimously approved resolutions stating that the removal of Joe Paterno as football coach was “in the best interest of Penn State;” that the trustees determined and former Penn State President Graham Spanier concurred that he should step down; and that Rodney Erickson has been appointed as his successor. All three actions were effective Nov. 9 — the date that the full board initially voted on them behind closed doors and subsequently announced publicly. Some critics said the initial meeting violated the state Sunshine Law, which governs public access to meetings of public agencies. Without acknowledging any such violation, university spokesman Bill Mahon char-

tions and await a preliminary hearing in Harrisburg Dec. 16. Penn State’s trustees held a four-minute meeting Friday to formally approve decisions made in the immediate aftermath of the arrests of Sandusky, Curley and Schultz. The board scheduled the meeting after criticism that the trustees violated the state open-meetings law by taking its initial votes behind closed doors last month. Erickson said the university will donate $1.5 million in bowl proceeds to a pair of sex-crime advocacy organizations in the wake of shocking sex-abuse allegations levied against a once-revered assistant football coach. He said Big Ten bowl revenue, which usually goes back to the athletic department, will go instead to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

PSU trustees publicly reaffirm removal of Paterno and Spanier
this week that its donors should consider giving money to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, the latest sign that the charity may not be a going concern much longer. The Second Mile said its December programs would go on as scheduled, however. Prosecutors said Sandusky found his alleged victims through The Second Mile, which is based in State College. Also Thursday, state Rep. Ronald Waters, D-Philadelphia, asked the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare — the agency that licenses programs dealing with youth and children — to provide him with detailed information about The Second Mile’s activities. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said Thursday the school would conduct a wideopen search for a new football coach, following the dismissal of head coach Joe Paterno shortly after Sandusky was arrested. Paterno has not been charged with any crime, although two other high-ranking administrators, former athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz, have been charged with lying to a grand jury and failure to properly report suspected child abuse.

Muslim Brotherhood political arm and Islamist Nour Party do well in 1st round of voting
Ultraconservative Islamists gain

Every little thing is not all right
Bob Marley performs in 1980 in Paris. Marley’s widow, Rita Marley, and nine children are suing his half brother, Richard Booker. The lawsuit contends Booker and affiliated firms are violating copyright and trademark laws by using Marley’s nameand other intellectual property without authorization. The suit says people could be deceived into thinking those uses are endorsed by Rita and the children.
CAIRO — Egypt’s ultraconservative Islamist party said Friday it plans to push for a stricter religious code in Egypt after claiming surprisingly strong gains in this week’s initial round of voting for parliament, the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. Egypt’s election commission announced only a trickle of results Friday and said 62 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the highest turnout in Egypt’s modern history. Preliminary counts leaked by judges and individual political groups indicated that the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm took the largest share of votes. Following closely behind, was the ultraconservative Islamist Nour Party and a coalition of liberal parties called the Egyptian bloc, according to those unof-
ficial counts. That trend — if confirmed and if extended over more rounds of voting — would give the religious parties a popular mandate in the struggle to win control from the ruling military that took over from Mubarak. The Islamist Nour Party expects to get 30 percent of the vote, party spokesman Yousseri Hamad said. A strong showing would put them in a position to influence policy, although it’s unclear how much power the new parliament will have with the ruling generals still in overall control. For example, the military, which is not keen to see Egypt delivered to radical Islamists, maintains that it — not the largest bloc in parliament — will choose the prime minister and Cabinet once all parliamentary voting rounds are completed. It is also poised to closely oversee the

drafting of a new constitution. The Nour Party’s purist pursuit of strict Shariah, or Islamic law, would also face tough opposition from a diverse array of youth activists in the streets, Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority, as well as liberal and secular political par-
ties pushing for more social and political freedoms. The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has described its election platform as civil but with an Islamic background.

Drought worst on record
The northern states of Mexico are suffering under the worst drought since the government began recording rainfall 70 years ago. Crops of corn, beans and oats are withering in the fields. About 1.7 million cattle have died of starvation and thirst. The region is being parched by the same drought that has dried out the southwest United States. The government is trucking water to 1,500 villages and sending food to poor farmers who have lost all their crops. The next rainy season isn’t due until June, and there’s no guarantee normal rains will come then. SEATTLE
One whale of a lawsuit
Over the years there have been campaigns and $1 million has been offered to free Lolita, a killer whale captured from Puget Sound waters in 1970 and who has been performing at Miami Seaquarium for the past four decades. Activists are now suing the federal government in federal court in Seattle, saying it should have protected Lolita when it listed other Southern Resident orcas as an endangered species in 2005. The suit filed in November alleges the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s fisheries service allows the Miami Seaquarium to keep Lolita in conditions that shouldn’t be allowed under the Endangered Species Act. The agency is still reviewing the suit, a spokeswoman said. Lolita is the last surviving orca captured from the Southern Resident orca population during the 1970s.

Cain to announce plans today
GOP presidential hopeful’s support has plunged since allegations this week of 13-year extramarital affair. By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press
ROCK HILL, S.C. — His once-surging presidential campaign all but over, Herman Cain told supporters Friday he would make an announcement today about the future of his Republican White House bid. Cain, who was heading home to Atlanta to talk with his wife, didn’t disclose whether he would drop out of the race for
tions already banked if he dropped out of the race. It’s hard to see how he goes forward. His poll numbers have dropped dramatically, backers are fleeing and even the candidate himself has acknowledged that fundraising has suffered since Ginger White publicly contended the two had a long-running affair. A Des Moines Register poll released Friday showed Cain’s support plummeting, with backing from 8 percent of Republican caucusgoers in Iowa, down from 23 percent a month ago. The embattled candidate was meeting with his wife face to face for the first time since White stepped forward this week.

Suit filed over ‘memories’
The memories were so horrific that Lisa Nasseff says she tried to kill herself: she had been raped several times, had multiple personalities and took part in satanic rituals involving unthinkable acts. She says she only got better when she realized they weren’t real. Nasseff, 31, is suing a St. Louis treatment center where she spent 15 months being treated for anorexia, claiming one of its psychologists implanted the false memories during hypnosis sessions in order to keep her there long-term and run up a bill that reached $650,000. The claims seem unbelievable, but her lawyer, Kenneth Vuylsteke, says other patients have come forward to say they, too, were brainwashed and are considering suing. Castlewood Treatment Center’s director, Nancy Albus, and the psychologist, Mark Schwartz, deny the allegations. The suit seeks the repayment of medical expenses and punitive damages.

ONLINE:
HARTFORD, Conn. — Robert Spiegel’s passion for Russian literature, the New York Mets, ethnic cooking and beagles endeared him to generations of students and colleagues at Central Connecticut State University. Now, through the power of social media, the 77-year-old former English professor’s obituary is charming strangers, as well. Spiegel, a resident of the Hartford suburb of Berlin and a native of New York City, died Wednesday after a struggle with cardiac disease and dementia. He was eulogized in a quirky obituary written by his son that appeared Friday in central Connecticut newspapers.
The obituary written by Robert Spiegel’s son: http://bit.ly/vVDtdB
It quickly started spreading on strangers’ Facebook pages and Twitter feeds, usually accompanied by the readers’ admissions they did not know him — but wished they had, based on the richly detailed obituary. “Whereas the disease did thankfully erase most memories of the ‘62 Mets season, it eventually also claimed his life,” his obituary read, referring to his beloved team’s 40-120 record in a year that took 10 games just to get their first win.

On Friday, the base that at its height was home to 46,000 people was handed over to the Iraqi government as America looks to move all U.S. troops out of the country by the end of the year. “The base is no longer under U.S. control and is under the full authority of the government of Iraq,” said U.S. military spokesman Col. Barry Johnson. The Iraqi government has not yet announced plans for the complex, prime real estate in a country sorely lacking in parks and public spaces. The Iraqi military is already using some parts, and there is talk of turning Saddam’s jail cell into a museum.

Probing crimes at issue
State hearing local case that could affect how police can use text messaging, Internet. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com
The state Supreme Court heard arguments this week in a Luzerne County case that could significantly impact the ability of police officers to use text messaging and the Internet to investigate crimes. The appeal, filed by the District Attorney’s Office, seeks to overturn lower court rulings that suppressed the evidence in the case of Jeffrey Cruttenden and Stephen Lanier, who were charged in Wilkes-Barre in 2007 with conspiring to deliver 35 pounds of marijuana. Cruttenden is from Breesport, N.Y. and Lanier of Tucson, Ariz. The outcome of the case reaches far beyond Luzerne County, however, as the court’s ruling will set a legal precedent that will dictate the grounds under which police statewide can utilize text messaging, said the prosecutor and defense attorney who argued
the case. It could also impact techniques of police to utilize a computer to investigate child sexual predators, said Hugh Burns, an assistant district attorney with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, who argued the case on behalf of Luzerne County. The dispute centers on the interpretation of the state’s wiretap law, which sets conditions police must follow in order to intercept communications of two or more people. In the Cruttenden and Lanier case, a county judge ruled a police officer violated the wiretap law when he utilized the cell phone of a third suspect, Michael Amodeo, who was transporting the marijuana, to communicate with Lanier via text messaging. The Superior Court later upheld that decision. Under state law, police can intercept communications between suspects if both persons involved in the communication consent. Burns argued the officer who was impersonating Amodeo was a party to the conversation and, as such, he had given his consent. Lanier consented by virtue of en-
gaging in the text messaging. That meant there was no “interception” of a conversation; therefore the wiretap did not apply, Burns said. First Assistant Public Defender Demetrius Fannick, who argued the case for Lanier and Cruttenden, maintained that there was an interception because the officer took on the role as the accomplice in the case. “A police officer cannot be a party to a conversation because he intercepted the conversation,” Fannick said. “The defendant intended his text to be received not by the police officer, but the codefendant.” Burns and Fannick said the court’s decision will also have significant impact on child Internet predator cases in which an officer goes online and pretends to be a minor because the legal principle as stake is very similar. “The officer pretended to be someone he was not and the suspect believed him and communicated with the officer,” Burns said. “If that is not allowed in this situation, it’s not allowed in (child predator) situations either,” Burns said.
Charges of assaulting Nanticoke mayor forwarded By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Three men accused of assaulting Nanticoke Mayor Joseph Dougherty and burglarizing several stores waived their rights to formal arraignments in Luzerne County Court on more than 30 charges each. Steven Brannigan, 21, Daniel Banks, 25, and Thomas Owens, 21, all of Wilkes-Barre, waived their arraignments scheduled for Friday via video from the Luzerne County prison. The three men are charged with assaulting Dougherty by pulling him out of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze on June 25, striking him with a club and using the vehicle to commit burglaries in three different municipalities.
Police said the men then burned the car in a wooded area in Huntington Township. All three men entered pleas of not guilty and are now awaiting trial. Dougherty, 44, an automotive paint salesman for Colours Inc., said he was sitting in his company car that was idling in the 300 block of East Green Street, Nanticoke, just after 11 p.m. The headlights and an interior dome light were turned on when, Dougherty said, he was pulled from the vehicle by three men in their late teens or early 20s. Nanticoke police said Dougherty reported he was beaten with a club or a stick. He was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains
Township. Police said the three men then used the vehicle in the commission of robberies at the Sunoco service station on the Sans Souci Parkway and Don’s Deli on West End Road, both in Hanover Township. They also are suspects in an attempted burglary at the Variety Shop on East Main Street, Newport Township and a burglary at the Countryside Market on Main Road in Hunlock Township. State police recovered the car, which was torched in woods near Zachery Road and state Route 239 in Huntington Township on June 26. Banks told investigators he used gasoline to set the vehicle on fire, according to the complaints.

WILKES-BARRE – A Kingston womanchargedinadeadlyhit-andrun accident in June waived her righttoaformalarraignmentinLuzerne County Court. Karen McCann, 33, of Lackawanna Lane, waived her arraignment scheduled for Friday on charges of homicide by motor vehicle while driving under the influence, accidents involving death, driving under the influence, driving withasuspendedlicenseandseveral traffic violations. McCann entered a plea of not
guiltyandisnowawaitingtrial.She is represented by attorney Peter Moses. Luzerne County Judge William Amesbury scheduled a pre-trial hearing for Feb. 3. According to court papers, police said that on June 30 McCann was driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer that struck and killed Aloysius McLaughin, 64, a landscaper working in front of a home at 173 Third Ave., Kingston. Prosecutors said McCann had cocaine and prescription medications in her system when the accident happened. Police said McCann turned from Pierce Street onto Third Avenue when her vehicle jumped a curb and struck McLaughlin, who witnesses said was kneeling down near the end of the driveway and

hadhisbacktoMcCann’svehicle.A co-worker of McLaughlin’s said he saw the vehicle strike McLaughlin, and that he ran after McCann’s vehicle attempting to have her stop. McCann drove away, police said, but was spotted on Market Street, crossing into oncoming traffic, nearly colliding with other vehicles. When McCann spoke with police a short time after the accident, she told police she did not believe she was in an accident, and that damage on her vehicle was from a previous incident. At the time of the accident,
McCann’s license was under suspension for a drunken-driving sentence imposed in February, according to court records. The morning of the accident, police said they cited McCann for driving with a suspended license after she was stopped in the area of Pierce Street and First Avenue. She was later found guilty of driving with a suspended license by a district judge and not guilty of speeding and driving a vehicle without a valid inspection. McCann was sentenced to two months in jail on the summary conviction.

Nuangola to keep taxes at current levels NUANGOLA – With a minimum of debate, borough council took initial steps Friday to approve a proposed 2012 budget that would keep taxes at their current levels. Councilman John Kochan, chairman of budget and finance, drafted the $230,075 spending plan. Council voted unanimously to keep tax rates at 2011 levels, including: .0444 mills on real estate, one-half of 1 percent on earned income, a $52 local servic-

them to Kochan so that council can advertise and place the proposed budget on public display starting Monday. Besides a general fund plan, Kochan also submitted a “Highway Aid Fund Budget” that lists expenditures of about $40,868. He said a major source of funding in this proposal is $22,531 in 2011 state liquid fuels grants. Weber contended that liquid fuels money could not be carried over from year-to-year. But Kochan said that past practice had been to include liquid fuels balances in a succeeding year’s budget.
One area of spending that Kochan stated is a major increase is in basic street and road maintenance. He projected an allocation of $18,000 because there is a need for the road crew to “go out every week to fix potholes and clean drainage ditches.” Kochan has argued in the past that borough streets were in a major state of disrepair. Only Regina Plodwick, chairman, voted against the budget. She said she wanted to “see all the changes” before voting to advertise the plan. Council plans to adopt the budget Dec.19.

WARRIOR RUN – In Wednesday night’s budget meeting, the Warrior Run Borough Council worked to keep expenditures as low as possible and to make few changes from this year’s budget. The real estate tax will remain at 1.9 mills, borough officials said. One mill equals $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value. The yearly trash collection fee will remain at $180.

OTHER OPINION: WINE, SPIRITS
Delivering LCB from stately past
L
ET’S GIVE CREDIT where credit is due. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s decision to allow delivery of certain wines and liquors to homes and businesses is progress of a sort. This small move is really large by the standards of the change-resistant monopoly. It removes the irritation for customers of having to order their choices from the system’s inventory and then being required to pick them up at a state store. Now, for a fee of $14 for one to three bottles and $1 for each additional bottle, a measure of convenience comes to the transaction, with deliveries by UPS to customers at homes or businesses. But, as always with the stateowned system, convenience comes belatedly and in small proportions. Only 1,500 to EDITORIAL BOARD
2,000 items from the LCB’s 30,000 products are available, including niche items and special orders as well as some “Chairman’s Select” wines. A spokeswoman said the LCB debated making this change for several years but held back for fear of enabling underage drinkers to buy alcohol. That’s a legitimate concern and curbing illegal drinking is one of the board’s statutory responsibilities. But in the end it was done in a sensible way; in making deliveries, UPS drivers will require a signature and valid ID from buyers. That raises the question of why the delivery, with the simple safeguard against underage purchasers, was not allowed years ago. Every Pennsylvanian knows the answer: The government monopoly moves slowly. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

MALLARD FILLMORE
Obama’s Scranton visit reveals how far he’s fallen THE CROWD was thin on Wednesday in Scranton. President Obama just can’t attract the audiences he once did. Even Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, seemingly didn’t care to join him. It is an all-too-telling sign of Obama’s plummeting popularity in a state that he once won by 10 points. President Obama knows he’s in trouble. He’s made 11 trips to Pennsylvania since January. But countless campaign stops cannot paper over the reason for his unpopularity: the litany of broken promises he’s made to Pennsylvanians and Americans. Some of the boldest promises were made in Scranton on his last trip to the vice president’s hometown in 2008. So did he return triumphantly to tout their fulfillment? Hardly. For President Obama a promise made is rarely a promise kept. On that 2008 trip he proclaimed that job creation would result from government spending on green energy, saying it would “lower gas prices and create millions of jobs.” Billions of dollars in spending later, unemployment, like gas prices, remains painfully high. Just a few months ago, the California solarenergy company Solyndra went bankrupt, becoming the prime example of stimulus money gone bad. Pushing a political agenda, the administration wasted $535 million in taxpayer money on a company that destroyed jobs – 1,100 of them – instead of creating them. Then there’s the housing crisis. Again, in
MAIL BAG
REINCE PRIEBUS 2008, the president said in Scranton that “I have a plan to stabilize the housing market.” But that plan, the Home Affordable Refinance Program, “hasn’t worked,” according to White House economist James Parrott. Millions of homeowners have underwater mortgages, and at least 5 million more foreclosures are expected in the coming years. But the biggest promise of the Obama candidacy was never a specific policy. He promised to fundamentally change the way politics was done – to change the way Washington works. That was the basis of “hope and change.” And in many ways that was the basis of his election. Back to Scranton in 2008: Obama declared he would be “a president who is not playing the usual political games.” Since taking office, he hasn’t stopped playing political games. He’s been on a nonstop campaign tour of 2012 swing states – making more visits than the last two presidents in the same period of time. On top of that, he’s managed to hold 69 fundraisers so far this year. He’s relentlessly attacked Republicans even though, as a candidate, he claimed, “I don’t try and demonize my opponents.” In 2008, he was supposed to be post-partisan. Today, he’s become hyper-partisan. On everything from deficit spending to the stimulus, from health care to regulatory

COMMENTARY
reform, the president’s promises have yet to come true. Pennsylvanians have witnessed his abysmal economic record firsthand. The Keystone State has lost 37,900 manufacturing jobs, and 189,000 more people are living in poverty since he took office. Voters have taken note. This week, his approval rating fell below that of Jimmy Carter’s at the same stage in his presidency. And in Pennsylvania, only 42 percent approve of the job he’s doing, compared to 53 percent who disapprove. While the president continued campaigning, Republicans have worked nonstop to promote policies that would accelerate economic growth. In Washington, the Republicans in the House of Representatives have passed more than 20 bipartisan bills that would directly spur job creation. But for political reasons, the president and Senate Democrats are uninterested. In Harrisburg, Gov. Tom Corbett and Republicans in the General Assembly are dedicated to getting Pennsylvania back on track. But Washington Democrats are standing in their way. Their burdensome mandates, onerous regulations and reckless spending are serious obstacles to job creation. By now, it’s no secret that the 2012 election will be a referendum on President Obama. In November, voters will decide whether or not he has fulfilled his promises; if not, he’ll be a one-term president. And in Scranton, it looks like voters already have made up their minds – they want to change direction.

was watching a taped “State of Pennsylvania” broadcast when the subject of Marcellus Shale came up. The guest, a congressman, said, “It’s going to kick in,” referring to eminent domain for natural gas pipelines. Did my neighbors know that I would have to give up my land for pipes to transport their gas? Did my neighbors know that the natural gas industry lobbies the government to prevent me from saying no or from even setting the price? Now the gas/pipeline industry will be able to take my land at the price that it and the government say is fair compensation. Did my neighbors know that their freedom to use their land would take away my freedom?

Second, repeated rhetoric-brainwashing of how clean natural gas is makes me question the gas industry’s opinion of the general public’s common sense. The comparison of natural gas to coal infers that gas is clean. Natural gas pollutes. It is a fossil fuel; it pollutes. Third, is energy independence justification for taking my land and/or my land’s gas? The cost of that “justification” will be the burden of all my neighbors – of all Americans.

Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke has said he will review the proposed budget and discuss it with fellow judges. The courts have the option to sue over cuts. Further action The budget, which must be formally adopted by the end of the month, may also be amended by the new 11-member County Council before Feb. 15. Outgoing commissioners say they’ve scraped together all attainable revenue, leaving a property tax increase as the only means for the new council to avoid cuts. Commissioners Maryanne Petrilla and Stephen A. Urban adopted the budget. Commissioner Thomas Cooney abstained as a precaution because his business, A&E Group Inc., had completed work at the Luzerne County Community College, which receives county funding. The commissioners said it will beuptocountydepartmentheads and the new manager and council to determine which employees are furloughed to comply with the new budget. “This is a tough economy – not only for the people in this building

happened since April 2006, well before the Great Recession. “Something good is stirring in the U.S. economy,” Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency Economics, said in a note to clients. The stock market rallied at the opening bell, after the report came out, but finished flat for the day. It was still up 787 points for the week. The only bigger point gain in a week was in October 2008, when stocks lurched higher and lower during the financial crisis. The report showed that September and October were stronger months for the job market than first estimated. For four months in a row, the government has revised job growth figures higher for previous months. September was revised up by 52,000 jobs, for a gain of 210,000. October was revised up by 20,000, for a gain of 100,000. Unemployment peaked at10.1percent
WEATHER
in October 2009, four months after the Great Recession ended. It dipped to 8.9 percent last February and 8.8 percent last March but otherwise was at or above 9 percent. The rate fell not just because people found jobs. About 300,000 people simply gave up looking for work, and were no longer counted as unemployed. People routinely enter and leave the work force, though 300,000 is more than usual. Obama, who faces a re-election vote in less than a year and a presidential campaign that will turn on the economy, seized on the decline to argue for expanding a cut in the tax that workers pay toward Social Security. The tax cut affects 160 million Americans. It lowers a worker’s Social Security tax by up to $2,136 a year. Someone earning $50,000 a year saves $1,000 with the tax cut. It will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress acts. Republicans and Democrats have supported an extension but differ on how to pay for it. The Senate on Thursday defeated plans from both parties. Republicans had proposed paying for the cut by freezing the pay of federal workers

Right now it’s time to step on the gas,” Obama said Friday. Inside the unemployment report, one of the most closely watched indicators of the economy’s health, were signs of improvement for small businesses, which employ 500 or fewer people and account for half the jobs in the private sector. The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate. The household survey picks up hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses and companies just getting off the ground. It also includes farm workers and the self-employed, who aren’t included in the survey of companies. The household survey has shown an average of 321,000 jobs created per month since July, compared with an av-
would have to live within the confines of the budget, so I’m not dropping anything on anybody’s lap.” Getting by with millions of dollars in cuts will be “tough,” she acknowledged. “I’m very worried about this budget. It’s as lean as lean can be, but the taxpayers can’t afford another tax increase,” Petrilla said. Taxes would remain at 5.215 mills under the proposal. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value, which means county taxes are $521on a property assessed at $100,000. Nearly 87,000 property owners would continue to have $52 knocked off their county tax bills due to a homestead tax break on primary residences, commissioners said. Urban told Chesnovitch commissioners have reduced the county workforce in recent years. The county had a $140 million budget and 2,100 employees in 2004, compared to the current 1,700 workers. The proposed budget does not include millions of dollars in revenue that may come in from the potential sale of the former Valley Crest Nursing Home and a Triple-A baseball franchise co-owned with Lackawanna County, which could generate a “windfall” for the new administration, he said.

Commissioners understand what may be cut because they’re working full time in the county, said Urban, a county councilmanelect. He said the part-time council members could vote on “whatever somebody shoves in front of them.” He said he would “feel sorry for this county in the future” if the new council raises taxes and increases the budget based on unjustified arguments from managers that they need their funding restored. County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski blasted Urban and Petrilla after the meeting for cutting $419,000 out of her budget, saying the loss would reduce the revenue generated by the office and “sabotage the new government.” “In my opinion, they are vindictive, evil people and are taking their last shot at me because I stood up to them and could not be compromised to stoop to their level of bad government,” Medico Olenginski said. Councilmen-elect Rick Morelli and Tim McGinley attended Friday’s budget unveiling. They said the new county manager and division chiefs will be accountable for ensuring that services are provided within budget, whether it’s the budget adopted by commissioners or one amended by council.

erage of 13,000 the first seven months of the year. When the economy is either improving or slipping into recession, many economists say, the household survey does the better job of picking up the shift because it detects small business hiring. “We might finally be seeing new business creation expand again, which is critical to the sustainability of the recov-

Appeal denied for Lions’ DT Suh
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Ducks top Bruins for Pac-12 title
Oregon will likely take on the Big Ten champion in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.
The Detroit lineman will still be suspended for the team’s next two games.
By ANNE. PETERSON AP Sports Writer
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The suspension stands, and that means Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will sit out the next two games for stomping an opponent during a loss to the Green Bay Packers. Suh’s appeal of a suspension was denied Friday by Art Shell, jointly appointed by the NFL and the players’ association to hear such cases. Suh will miss Sunday’s game at New Orleans and a Dec. 11 home game against Minnesota. He can return for practice Dec. 12. The 2010 Defensive Rookie of the Year was penalized and ejected from the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers for stomping on the arm of guard Evan Dietrich-Smith. On Tuesday, the league suspended Suh and the player appealed. Shell, however, saw no merits to the appeal during a conference call with Suh on Thursday. Lions president Tom Lewand issued a statement saying the club respects the disciplinary process and added “obviously, today’s ruling does not impact our preparations for this week’s game. We remain exclusively focused on the New Orleans Saints.” Usually, a hearing is held within 10 days of an appeal, but the league expedited Suh’s high-profile case so a decision could be made before Sunday’s game. Suh is barred from practice and the team’s facility while suspended. Early last month, Suh request-

EUGENE, Ore. — LaMichael James ran for 219 yards and three touchdowns and No. 8 Oregon beat UCLA 49-31 in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game Friday night for the Ducks’ third straight conference title and a likely berth in the Rose Bowl. Rick Neuheisel tipped his hat to the UCLA fans in his last game as coach. The former Bruins quarterback was fired this week after OREGEON four seasons with his alma mater. While the UCLA Bruins (6-7) played with passion for their outgoing coach and kept it closer than many thought they would, it was not enough to overcome the Ducks (11-2), who head to a BCS bowl for the third straight season. Darron Thomas threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns, becoming Oregon’s career leader with 63 TD passes.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins found the perfect way to break out of their recent rut. They simply turned on the power. Joey Mormina and Eric Tangradi both scored power play
goals Friday night and the Penguins tightened their defense enough to push past Portland, 4-1 at Mohegan Sun Arena. “I thought it was a pretty complete effort for each period, in all phases of the game,” said Penguins coach John Hynes, whose team improved to 12-6-1-4 overall. It was complete domination by the Penguins, from nearly start to finish. After Brett MacLean gave Portland a 1-0 lead on an obscured shot less than four min-

who notched his first goal since returning from parent Pittsburgh on Nov. 11. “Tonight was our first 60-minute effort.” The effort was there all the way through. Ben Street rifled home a goal midway through the first period and Mormina scored on the power play with less than four minutes to play in the period, giving Wilkes-Barre/Scranton a 2-1 lead. Then Tangradi got involved, whipping home a wide-angled power play chance early in the

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A contrite Jim Boeheim apologized again Friday night after another big victory. The beleaguered Syracuse basketball coach said he had talked to some people in the commu-
nity and wanted to make three points clear after the No. 4 Orange defeated No. 10 Florida, 7268. “I believe I misspoke very badly in my response to the allegations that have been made. I shouldn’t have questioned what the accusers expressed or their motives. I am really sorry that I did that, and I regret any harm that I caused,” he said. “It was insensitive for the individuals involved and especially to the overall issue of child
abuse.” He also said it was important that he get involved in terms of raising awareness. “They need to get the message out,” he said. “I’m going to do everything I can to do that, whether I’m coaching or not coaching.” This was the second game since the firing of longtime associate head coach Bernie Fine, who has been accused by three men — including two former SySee SYRACUSE, Page 4B

Led by an infusion of local talent, the King’s wrestling team is hoping to turn things around during the 2011-12 season.
Wilkes is on a mission this season. The Colonels, who are currently ranked11th in the nation in the NWCA Poll, want to finish ranked in the top 10 for the first time in coach Jon Laudenslager’s nine-year tenure. The team appears to be in good shape early to accomplish the feat with all but one starter returning from last year’s squad which finished ranked 13th last year despite a15-10-2 record. The Colonels could also be on course to claim the Metropolitan Conference championship. “Whether they’re fifth string See WILKES, Page 3B

second period for a 3-1 Penguins lead. “To go out and score on the power play, that’s a huge momentum swing,” Tangradi said. Those special teams shots even turned the tide on WilkesBarre/Scranton’s home woes. Boosted by those power play scores, the Penguins played nothing like the team that brought a 2-4-1-2 home record into Friday night. “We’ve had trouble on home ice,” Tangradi said. Not Friday. Missing the regular top defensemen Robert Bortuzzo and Simon Despres – both called up to Pittsburgh this week – the Penguins finally found smooth skating while trying to stop the other team’s offense. Alex Grant, playing in just his ninth game for Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton as one of the newer faces in the Penguins lineup, was one of the guys who helped the team overcome its struggles of November. The Penguins went 6-4-0-3 last month, but when the calendar changed, apparently so did Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. “You know you have to step up because there are guys up there

finished atop the South, but because of NCAA sanctions the Trojans weren’t eligible to play in the championship. That paved the way for the Bruins, who finished the regular season at 6-6 overall. UCLA was a 31-point underdog going into Friday night’s game. To make matters worse, UCLA dismissed coach Rick Neuheisel earlier this week after a 50-0 loss to the Trojans in the regular-season finale. The title game was his last with the Bruins, even if they go to a bowl game. The perceived lack of drama in the game appeared to have impacted interest in tickets: UCLA returned some of its allotment, and tickets available on StubHub! were listed at below market value this week. “Certainly had it not been for the postseason ban for USC, we would have had two top-10 teams in this game, so of course it’s dis-

If you look back whenever we’ve been talented we’ve been talented from District 2.” With Reilly being one of just two seniors, the Monarchs boast a youthful club. But don’t say the team is rebuilding. That was the 2010-11 season after five starting seniors graduated. “Now we just have to build on that one more year and I hopefully we’ll be back,” McGinley said. “We’ve laid the foundation. Now it’s time to be putting up the structure. “My idea is second semester we will be a little stronger for the tough part of the schedule. That’s my goal to have us ready for that.” Reilly, who is a three-time Metropolitan Conference champion, is coming off a sixth-place finish at nationals last season after losing in the semifinals.

Pens release Dimitrakos The Times Leader staff
WILKES-BARRE TWP. — The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced Friday that they have released forward Niko Dimitrakos from his 25-game professional tryout agreement. Dimitrakos recorded six goals and four assists for 10 points in 21 games with the Penguins. He was on a five-game (two goals, three assists) points streak at the time of his release. The 32-year old Boston native skated overseas from 2008-11, splitting last year in Sweden and Germany, posting 11 goals and nine assists in 42 games. A former fifth-round draft pick of the San Jose Sharks in 1999,
Dimitrakos has appeared in 158 NHL games with the Sharks and Philadelphia Flyers. His NHL stats include 24 goals and 38 assists. He appeared in 20 playoff games, posting a goal and eight assists. Dimitrakos was a four-year player at the University of Maine, where he posted 50 goals and 80 assists for 130 points in 139 games. His AHL career includes stints with the Cleveland Barons (2002-04), Philadelphia Phantoms (2006-07), Chicago Wolves (2006-07), Binghamton Senators (2007-08) and the Penguins.

M U L L E N D E N I E S M O R E P E N N S TAT E R E P O R T S STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen insists he hasn’t been approached by Penn State about its coaching vacancy. Mullen released a statement through the university, saying: “Neither I, my agent nor the administration at Mississippi State University have been contacted.” The statement also said that he is “very happy” with the progress at Mississippi State and that he
would not comment over any other job speculation. The 39-year-old Mullen is in his third year at Mississippi State, where he has a 20-17 overall record, including a 6-6 mark this season. He led the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record last season and just their second bowl berth in a decade. Mullen was Urban Meyer’s offensive coordinator at Florida before coming to Mississippi State.
appointing when such a strong team is not allowed to participate. It’s not something we control,” Scott said in a pregame news conference. “Obviously, we and USC are abiding by other decisions by the NCAA. Therefore, UCLA is in a very good spot here. Of course, people will be disappointed that the team that finishes first in its division can’t participate, but that’s the nature of it.” HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE?: Oregon holds a tremendous home-field advantage at Autzen Stadium, but for the Pac-12 championship, some of its Duckiness was neutralized to make it more
hospitable for UCLA. Advertising covered the sidelines, including Oregon’s trademark “WTD” logos — short for coach Chip Kelly’s rallying cry “Win the Day” — in the four corners. The Ducks had an 18-1 record at Autzen in three seasons under Kelly. For the first time in memory, Autzen public address announcer Doug Essig was not on the microphone for the game. His duties went to Paul Olden, the public address announcer for the New York Yankees who has announced 12 Super Bowls.
ogize. In the game against the Packers, Suh lifted up his right knee and forcibly stepped on DietrichSmith’s right arm during the third quarter of the Lions’ 27-15 loss. Before the stomp, Suh shoved Dietrich-Smith’s helmet toward the turf while separating himself from the Packers player on the ground. He was penalized and ejected. Asked about the incident after the game, Suh sounded defiant, insisting he didn’t intentionally
step on Dietrich-Smith. A day later, following criticism from the Lions, Suh apologized to his teammates, organization and fans — not to Dietrich-Smith. His actions prompted more criticism around the league, with some calling Suh the NFL’s dirtiest player. Suh can afford any fines — he is making $40 million guaranteed with a chance to get paid as much as $68 million in a five-year contract he signed after Detroit drafted him No. 2 overall in 2010.

I wouldn’t want to wrestle him one-on-one in the finals. He’s won the conference three times and hasn’t been seeded first yet so he’s a tough character.” Stark is notable for three district championships with Lehman and a third-place finish at the PIAA Class 2A Championships in 2010. He was redshirted for Division I Lehigh last year before transferring to King’s. “He’s a very hard worker in the room and has a wonderful attitude,” said McGinley. “He’s in terrific shape and he brought with him Jordan Juinta, who was in pre-med and just didn’t think he had time to wrestle until this year.” Juinta (157 pounds) and Stark (174) have combined for a 16-3 mark this season. Scranton grad Tommy Desir (157) is 4-0 so far in the early going for the Monarchs, while West Scranton alum Frank Marinucci (174) is 4-4 with 30 career wins.

NHL
Minnesota in first after win The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild scored three goals on their first four shots and sent New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur to the bench in the first period of a 4-2 win over the Devils on Friday night. Dany Heatley, Kyle Brodziak and Casey Wellman scored in a 3:03 span of the first period to turn an early deficit into a 3-1 lead and knock Brodeur out of the game just 8:17 in. Brodziak sealed the win with another goal in the third period. Niklas Backstrom made seven saves in the first period, and Josh Harding, who played the final two periods, stopped all 22 shots he faced for Minnesota. Zach Parise had a goal and an assist, and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored for the Devils. Johan Hedberg made 11 saves in relief of Brodeur. Minnesota (16-7-3) leads the NHL with 35 points, one more than Pittsburgh. After Parise scored 2:54 in to give the Devils the lead, the Wild broke out. Just 20 seconds after Parise’s tip-in goal, Heatley skated down the right side of the ice and beat Brodeur to tie it 1-1. Brodziak gave Minnesota the lead when he knocked in the rebound of his shot over a sprawled Brodeur (5-7) at 6:55. Only 1:22 later, Wellman tipped Matt Cullen’s shot past Brodeur to make it 3-1. First-year Devils coach Pete DeBoer had seen enough and yanked Brodeur for the first time this season. Brodeur has

Brodeur went immediately to the locker room and did not return to the bench. Red Wings 4, Sabres 1 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jimmy Howard made 27 saves, and the
Detroit Red Wings stretched their winning streak to seven with a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night. Jakub Kindl, Johan Franzen, and Valtteri Filppula scored first-period goals for Detroit (16-7-1), which last won seven in a row in March 2010. Pavel Datsyuk pushed the lead to 4-1 by scoring into an empty net with 1:17 left.

If we don’t crack the top10, so what we gave it our best shot and as coaches that’s all we’re looking for.” Year in and year out, Laudenslager provides a brutal schedule for his wrestlers. That was evident last year as the majority of the team’s losses were to higherranked squads. That trend has continued again early this season. Wilkes has a 4-2 record with one loss coming to Division II East Stroudsburg and the other against No. 9 Cortland State. “You learn more from losing than you do from winning,” Laudenslager said. “And we were ranked in the final dual meet pool and we were 15-10-2, so that’s pretty good for a team with 10 losses to get that kind of respect.” The Colonels season is expected to be paced by senior captains Anthony Dattolo – an All-American from a year ago – Ben Marich and Ryan Wilson. Dattolo, who claimed a Metropolitan Conference championship with a 29-5 mark and an eighth-place finish at nationals, entered Friday’s Messiah Petrofes Invitational with an unblemished mark of 9-0 this sea-

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA — Given little chance to knock off the nation’s top-ranked team, Georgia doesn’t have a lot to lose in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Then again, No. 1 LSU probably doesn’t either. In all likelihood, the Tigers have already put together a resume that’s impressive enough to get them to New Orleans for the BCS title game — even if the 12th-ranked Bulldogs pull off a
play for the national championship, whether they win or lose to his team. He can certainly read a schedule, noting the Tigers have already beaten three teams among the top eight in the AP poll, No. 2 Alabama, No. 6 Arkansas and No. 8 Oregon, as well as 22nd-ranked West Virginia. “If you look at all the one-loss teams and if, in fact, they became a one-loss team, just look at who they played,” Richt said Friday. “I would think they’d be a shoe-in to play (for the national title). I know that’s not what they’re focusing on, because you don’t go 12-0 unless you can focus on ev-

fore they get on with their rematch against SEC rival Alabama for an even bigger crown. Miles doesn’t see if that way. “I do know that’s an issue for other folks,” he said. “It’s not one for us. We’re very, very focused on the next game and a very quality Georgia opponent.” There’s a sense this team wants a national title that includes no doubts. In 2003, LSU defeated Oklahoma for the BCS title but Southern Cal was voted No. 1 in the AP poll. Four years later, the Tigers became the first two-loss team to win it all, getting plenty of help from other schools along the way. This time, it’s all in their hands. “We’ve talked about it several times, but not about the what

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Marcus Denmon scored a career-high 31 points and No. 13 Missouri went on a pair of big runs in a 90-56 rout of Northwestern State on Friday night. Michael Dixon also set a career high with 19 points and Ricardo Ratliffe matched his personal best with 22. The Tigers (7-0) are off to their best start since winning their first nine games during the 2006-07 season. Missouri used runs of 18-0 and 24-8 to take control. Denmon became the first Tigers player to score 30 points in a game since 2009. Missouri coach Frank Haith said Wednesday his team planned to attack Northwestern State forward William Mosley, who led the nation last season with 154 blocks and was third this season with 26 through seven games. Despite starting four guards, the Tigers did just that, outscoring the Demons 50-22 in the paint and outrebounding Northwestern State 40-31.

Northwestern’s lead peaked at 41. The Wildcats tied the school record for 3-pointers in a game, hitting 20. They also made 20 against North Carolina AT&T on Dec. 13, 2009. The game was lopsided in every respect. Northwestern’s John Shurna, whose 21.8-point scoring average entering the game was the highest of any player in a BCS conference, hit three first-half 3-pointers but didn’t play in the second half and finished with nine points.

Syracuse (8-0) breezed to its first seven wins with an average margin of victory of 26 points, but the Gators (5-2), whose only previous loss was by seven at No. 2 Ohio State, figured to provide a stiff challenge and they did in a game that seemed like a midseason encounter in the Big East. But, once again, the game was
then dropping its first two games, Richt and his staff have engineered an impressive turnaround that bodes well for the future, given the youth of the team (only five starters are seniors). “We’ve had a lot of really special times with this team,” Richt said. “I’ve enjoyed it maybe as much as any team I’ve coached.” For Georgia, every SEC contest was, in essence, an elimination game. The Bulldogs passed every test, most notably rallying from a 14-point deficit to beat perennial nemesis Florida. “From there on out, we were a team that felt, hey, no matter what goes on, no matter what happens, we’re going to keep fighting and win out,” quarterback Aaron Murray said.

ifs,” Miles said. “It’s all about what we’ve accomplished to this point. We’ve put ourselves in position to play a championship game. That’s this Saturday against a very, very talented Georgia team. I promise you, our football team understands that.” Georgia (10-2, 7-1) might be the hottest team in the country outside of LSU. The Bulldogs have bounced back from an 0-2 start with their longest in-season winning streak since 1982, removing any doubt about Richt’s coaching future. But their schedule hasn’t been nearly as tough, missing all three of the top teams in the SEC West. Still, given the pressure his program was under coming off its first losing mark in 14 years and
April Sykes and Monique Oliver added 12 points each, and Betnijah Laney had 10 for the Scarlet Knights, who are off to their first 8-0 start since 2005. Florida (6-2) had won six straight after an opening threepoint loss to Michigan. No. 25 Vanderbilt 77, Denver 56 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Christina Foggie scored 18 of her 23 points in the first half to lead secondary on the first Friday of December. Some sex abuse victims’ advocates have said Boeheim should resign or be fired after the accusations, as well as Boeheim’s disparaging comments regarding the accusers in defense of his longtime friend. After initially saying Fine’s first two accusers were lying to make money in the wake of the Penn State sex abuse scandal, Boeheim backed off those comments in a statement after Fine’s firing was announced Sunday. Two days later, Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor supported Boeheim’s new
No. 25 Vanderbilt to a 77-56 victory over Denver on Friday night. Foggie eclipsed 20 points for the third straight game, knocking down a career-high six 3-pointers for the Commodores (8-0). She drilled three 3-pointers during a 15-0 run that allowed Vandy to pull away from the Pioneers (5-2) midway through the first half. Tiffany Clarke’s layup with 8:11 left capped the spurt for a 30-10 lead. stance. “Coach Boeheim is our coach. ... We’re very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by it.” Boeheim, in his 36th season as head coach, said after Tuesday night’s game that he’s never been worried about his job throughout his tenure at his alma mater and has not considered resigning. Against the Gators, Boeheim’s players responded again. Brandon Triche had 20 points and Scoop Jardine finished with 16 and seven assists for the Orange. Kenny Boynton led Florida with 22 points and Erving Walker had 17.
INDIANAPOLIS — When Mark Dantonio took the Michigan State job in 2007, he had a simple plan — follow Wisconsin. He wanted a tough, physical offense. He expected the Spartans to win with defense and special teams. He hoped to shed the image of a periodic Big Ten contender and become a regular powerhouse, just like Wisconsin. All No. 11 Michigan State has to do now is win the conference crown by beating No. 15 Wisconsin on Saturday night. “They wanted to build good teams on defense, they wanted to play hard on special teams, they wanted to play in packed houses and win Big Ten titles and really they were doing that, probably in the ‘90s, the late ‘90s and the 2000s and they’ve continued on,” Dantonio said. “That’s hopefully what we’re doing.” League foes would be hardpressed to find major distinctions between the two programs, which look more like twins than budding rivals. A year ago, the Badgers and Spartans both finished 7-1 in league play and wound up in a three-way tie for the conference title. Wisconsin won the tiebreaker and went to the Rose Bowl. This year, both went 10-2, won division crowns and will face one another in the Big Ten’s inaugural championship game. The matchup features the league’s top two quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins, two top-five defenses and two powerful offenses. Michigan State has won three of the past four, all in East Lansing, and the home team has won each of the past seven games in this series. This year’s first matchup wasn’t even decided until a replay review overturned the officials’ call after time expired, giving the Spartans a 37-31 win.
NEXT GAME BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Michigan St. vs. Wisconsin TV: 8 p.m., FOX-56
It doesn’t get closer than that. “I really respect and admire everything about what we have done here at Wisconsin, and the same thing could be said there at Michigan State. I’ve known Mark a long time, a tremendous football coach,” Badgers coach Bret Bielema said. “I think there are common things that have played into our success, but I think we’re a lot different, too.” Wisconsin’s football resurgence began when Barry Alvarez brought his version of smashmouth football to Madison. He recruited massive offensive linemen, big backs and when things got tough, the Badgers simply reverted back to oldschool power football. Alvarez used that philosophy to win three Rose Bowl games in seven years. “I love to play Wisconsin because this is how football is,” Spartans defensive back Trent Robinson said. “We know what they’re going to do and they know what we’re going to do. If you don’t come ready to play, it’s going to be a blowout or something bad is going to happen.” The oddsmakers have installed Wisconsin as a heavy favorite again, giving the Spartans plenty of motivation to prove they’re better than the Badgers. “I feel like no matter how much success we’ve had here, people doubt us,” Cousins said. “We take it in stride. We enjoy being underdogs, we enjoy being able to battle and prove people wrong, but the fact of the matter is, there will always be people doubting us, there will always be people pointing fingers saying we can’t do the next thing. We’ve made it a habit lately of proving them wrong.”
NBA
League unwraps more Christmas games The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Oklahoma City will host Orlando before Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers visit Golden State on Christmas night, running the NBA’s planned opening-day schedule to five games. Those games were added Friday to the three that were already set when the 2011-12 schedule was originally unveiled: Boston at New York, Miami at Dallas, and Chicago at the Los Angeles Lakers. Commissioner David Stern said the league hoped to open the season with that tripleheader after announcing a tentative agreement on a new labor deal with the players last Saturday. But the league
decided to add two later games, with the nightcap featuring Mark Jackson’s debut as Warriors coach. The revised 66-game schedule will be released Tuesday night during an NBA TV special. TNT will televise the opener, while ABC gets the NBA finals rematch and the matchup between MVP Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant, whose Lakers will be playing their first game under former Cleveland coach Mike Brown. The final two contests will air on ESPN. The Thunder reached the Western Conference finals last season behind league scoring champion Kevin Durant, while the Magic face the uncertainty of Dwight Howard’s future with the team.

Progress still steady for Manning Marlins set to sign
All-Star closer Bell
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning could soon be throwing footballs to his teammates, the best news Colts fans have heard since this miserable season began. While the Colts and the fourtime league MVP are still trying to find out what the next part of his rehabilitation program entails, lifting weights and throwing balls are apparently going to be part of it. “Throwing will be part of the next progression,” Manning said Friday before heading back to the team’s weight room. “I will be doing some throwing and I have been doing some throwing. But now we’re going to ramp it up a little more.” Manning called the news encouraging and said he would like to practice or even play this season if he’s cleared. It was welcome news in a winless season that began with Manning underdoing his third neck surgery in 19 months back on Sept. 8. He has not practiced since having a single-level spinal fusion that doctors hope will not only alleviate pressure on a damaged nerve that had caused weakness in Manning’s throwing arm but allow the 35-year-old quarterback to return to his perennial Pro Bowl status. Indy (0-11) has kept Manning on the active roster all season with the hope that he may start throwing at practice before the Jan. 1 season-finale at Jacksonville. He just might. On Thursday night, the team issued a statement from Dr. Robert Watkins who said the fusion had healed firmly enough for Manning to increase the intensity of his workouts. Those at the team complex are still trying to figure out what Manning can do. “I don’t know. I really don’t know,” coach Jim Caldwell said

San Francisco 49ers SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Frank Gore has been chasing rushing records since he first stepped on the field with the San Francisco 49ers six seasons ago. He can catch up with one of the most significant in franchise history on Sunday. Gore needs 22 yards rushing against the St. Louis Rams to become San Francisco’s all-time leading rusher. The two-time Pro Bowl running back ranks sixth among the NFL’s leading rushers this year with 909 yards, averaging 82.6 per game.
MIAMI — All-Star closer Heath Bell has agreed to a $27 million, three-year contract with the Miami Marlins, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press The person spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced. The agreement, Bell which is subject to a physical, is the first free-agent deal for the Marlins since they began courtships last month with several top players. The deal was first reported by ESPN. Bell had more than 40 saves each of the past three seasons for the San Diego Padres. This year he had 43 in 48 chances with a 2.44 ERA. The Marlins are uncertain of the availability of their closer this year, Leo Nunez. He’s on the restricted list after he admitted to playing under an assumed name. New York Yankees STAMFORD, Conn. — New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is practicing for his role as Santa’s helper. Next year, he wants Bobby Valentine at his side. Cashman spent Friday morning rappelling down the 22-story Landmark Building in Stamford, Conn. It’s a dry run for Sunday, when he’ll join Santa during the “Heights & Lights” event. It will be the second straight year that Cashman has climbed down the 350-foot building. Last year, he dressed as an elf. “I publicly challenge Bobby Valentine to join me on the building, Landmark Square, first week of December 2012. Be
there,” Cashman said. Always up for a challenge, Valentine accepted. “Anytime. Anywhere,” the newly hired Boston Red Sox manager wrote in a text to The Associated Press. At this time last year, Cashman had just finished re-signing closer Mariano Rivera, was negotiating with Derek Jeter on a new contract and was trying to sign Cliff Lee. This offseason has been quieter. “We’re making the calls,” Cashman said. “We’re talking to the agents. We’re talking trades and stuff like that, but for the most part nothing has transpired yet.” The only Yankee offseason moves have been adding $30 million and another year to CC Sabathia’s contract and agreeing to a $4 million, one-year contract with Freddy Garcia, a deal subject to a physical. Los Angeles Dodgers LOS ANGELES — Magic Johnson has joined a group bidding to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. The former Los Angeles Lakers superstar and former partowner said Friday he’s partnering with former Atlanta Braves executive Stan Kasten and wealthy investor Mark Walter to join the auction for the team, which will be sold by Frank McCourt. Johnson sold his equity stake in the Lakers in October 2010. The former point guard became a successful businessman after his career ended, and was widely rumored to be looking for a larger ownership stake in another pro sports franchise after parting amicably with the Lakers. Also on Friday, the Dodgers agreed to a $10 million, two-year contract with left-hander Chris Capuano.

Vonn captures World Cup downhill The star cruised to victory by nearly two full seconds – the largest margin of her career.
JAGUAR 94 XJS CONVERTIBLE
The Associated Press
LAKE LOUISE, Alberta — Lindsey Vonn won the World Cup women’s downhill Friday at Lake Louise for her ninth career victory at the resort. The American star finished in 1 minute, 53.19 seconds to beat Liechtenstein’s Tina Weirather by 1.95 seconds — the largest victory margin in Vonn’s downhill career. Switzerland’s Dominique Gisin was third in 1:55.29. “I mean, 2 seconds, that’s crazy,” Gisin said. “We will try to be a little bit closer to Lindsey tomorrow. That’s probably the only thing you can hope for.” Vonn has won at least one race at Lake Louise in eight straight years. “I just have always had such a good feeling here,” said Vonn, fourth on the women’s career list with 43 World Cup victories. “That track suits me so well. I feel at home. It can’t be more peaceful and amazing with the mountains here. I would prefer to have every race here in Lake Louise, but I don’t think they’ll let me.” Alice McKennis of Glenwood Springs, Colo., was eighth in her return from a knee injury. “It’s been such a long road for me and to be fast in my first race back is just an incredible feeling,” McKennis said. “I felt so much more comfortable today than I have in any of the training runs. I felt like I was skiing well, but I no idea that I’d come down in a decent position. I’m so pumped up for another day of downhill tomorrow.” After the second downhill Saturday, a super-G is set for Sunday. Vonn, the reigning Olympic downhill champion, recently announced that she and her husband of four years, Thomas Vonn,

are divorcing. Thomas Vonn had overseen many aspects of her career. “Right now, skiing is the best thing for me,” Vonn said Friday. “When I’m on my skis and on the mountain, I feel calm and feel comfortable. “I love skiing. I love going fast. I love downhill. Today, even if I didn’t win, I think just racing and being on the mountain is what I need.” The 27-year-old star from Burnsville, Minn., credited her U.S. teammates and her rivals on the World Cup circuit for rallying around her, singling out Germany’s Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who beat Vonn by three points for the overall title last season. “That’s helped me so much through this time,” Vonn said. Hoefl-Riesch was ninth Friday. World downhill and super-G champion Elisabeth Goergl of
Austria finished in a three-way tie for 20th with teammate Anna Fenninger and France’s Marlon Rolland. Bode Miller won the men’s downhill in Beaver Creek, Colo., on Friday to mark the first time since Dec. 3, 2004, that an American man and woman won downhills on the same day. That also was Vonn’s first World Cup victory, when she competed as Lindsey Kildow. Vonn has won eight downhills and a super-G at Lake Louise. Hoefl-Riesch edged her off the top of the podium in both downhills in 2010, but Vonn took the super-G. A lack of snow in Val d’Isere, France, has forced the world governing body of skiing to move men’s and women’s races scheduled for Dec. 10-11 to Beaver Creek. The women will race a super-G there Wednesday.

FNCB restates 2009 earnings to show larger loss By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
DUNMORE – First National Community Bankcorp, the parent company of First National Community Bank, has filed amended financial documents for 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission showing a net loss four times what was originally reported.

Mohegan slots up in Nov.
Gross revenue at the slot machines at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs rose by nearly twice the average among 10 Pennyslvania casinos in November. The local gaming hall saw revenue rise to $19.3 million, a 12.2 percent increase from November 2010. Statewide slot revenue was up 6.5 percent. Mount Airy Casino Resort recorded the lowest November slot revenue in the state, $11.4 million. That was 1.4 percent below the year earlier. Overall state slot revenue was $191.9 million this November, compared to $180.2 million last year, despite a decline of 369 machines in operation.

WILKES-BARRE – Come for the windows, stay for the caroling. On the heels of a new window decoration project that painted a wide array of holiday imagery on storefront panes, the Downtown WilkesBarre Business Association plans to add live Christmas carol singing. Bridget Giunta Husted, Wilkes University alumni relations director, invited other association members to add their voices on Dec. 9 and 16 beginning at 11:45 a.m. “Everybody loves to hear this, no matter what we sound like,” Husted said. “And we always sound good.” Husted announced the plans, which include a possible 5 p.m. caroling session on Dec. 9 and16 if enough singers can find the time to join in, at the association’s monthly breakfast Friday. The breakfast was held in the Wyoming Valley Art League’s newly acquired home, the former Luzerne County Medical Society Building in the rear of 130 S. Franklin St. Art League First Vice President Don Armstrong told the association the odd location wasn’t so unusual when the round structure was built in 1913 as a meeting place, book repository and research hub for doctors throughout the county. “This used to be a street,” he said, gesturing to the driveway alongside the building that provides access to Franklin Street. Meghan Davis, the new marketing and communications director for the Wilkes-Barre YMCA, told the association about an open house planned for Jan. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will include the unveiling of the new wellness center at noon, the capstone of a sweeping, $5 million renovation project. The open house will include free day camps for children and free demonstration classes for adults in core abs, Zumba, tai chi, weight training, Silver Sneakers and yoga. There also will be free swim classes. Space is limited, so Davis urged those interested to preregister by calling the YMCA at 823-2191. As host of the breakfast, Armstrong took the opportunity to encourage membership in the Art League, at a cost of $30 a year. The league offers art lessons and provides exhibit space. “And you don’t have to be an artist to be a member,” Armstrong added.

Airlines have a difficult time staying aloft By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ and JOSHUA FREED AP Airlines Writers
NEW YORK — When American Airlines sought bankruptcy protection this week, it marked the 189th time a U.S. airline has done so since the government deregulated the industry in 1978. Most lived to fly again, as American probably will. Some were grounded forever. Expensive labor contracts, erratic fuel prices and passengers used to cheap cross-coun-

It was the third airline that week to fail. In the past decade, U.S. airlines have lost a combined $54.5 billion and failed to make

money in seven of 10 years. Besides all of that, airlines have to worry about what their competition does. If one carrier cuts fares, everybody else usually matches — even if it cuts into profits — because they know fliers will go for the airline that’s $10 cheaper. U.S. airlines came of age at a time when the government dictated who could fly where and how much they could charge. Flying was expensive but airlines generated healthy profits.

How lucky can we get? Today marks our fifth sunny Saturday in a row. Now I'm not so sure that we'll make six, but I can predict that next weekend will be much colder than this. Despite the fact another cold front passed through last night and that the sun is only as strong now as it is on January 9, being outdoors today will be tolerable with light winds. That is certainly a bonus for outdoor decorating. In fact, Sunday looks dry and a little warmer, but not nearly as sunny. Mild temperatures will last through Monday. More rain will arrive Tuesday. Next week marks the earliest sunset time of the year at 4:33 p.m. - Tom Clark

Keep the holidays natural By KIM COOK

leaves. Freeze-dried fruit or flowers can look beautiful for years; just keep wreaths made of these delicate materials out of direct weather. Richard Waite, author of the new “Decorating with Evergreens” (Gibbs-Smith, 2011), twins wreaths on double doors, or stacks them on single doors. He also fits a smaller, store-bought wreath inside a larger evergreen one. Glam up the greenery with metallic ribbon — copper and pewter are on trend. Add some flair for free by entwining an old necklace through the boughs or affixing an old brooch. Wreaths don’t have to be round. Find square and star forms at nurseries and craft stores, or use old picture frames. Take apart a supermarket bundle of evergreens, and get creative with jute, hemp, wire or a glue
The holidays give us an excuse to jazz up the house with stuff we don’t normally “wear” — essentially, it’s dress-up time for our living spaces. Colors that pop and finishes that sparkle help set an exuberant tone for parties, while a softly glowing tree or table display is a quiet, often ethereal delight. They enhance the conviviality of the holidays, whether your home is embracing revelers and peppermint mojitos, or just the dog and a cup of hot chocolate. Mercury glass, once relegated to the high shelves at antiques stores, is now mass market, and that’s great news. The finish is a little more understated than silverplate, so it mixes well with both rustic and refined accessories. At Target, find copper and glass-etched candle pillars. Crate & Barrel has jewel-toned mercury-glass candleholders. Amp up your tree’s “wow” fac-

here’s nothing quite like a winter walk through snowy woods. This holiday season, trend watchers are encouraging us to bring some of those evocative, forest-y elements home to decorate our outdoor and indoor spaces.
It’s a look that’s soothing and seasonal, and easy to attain without spending tons of money. Simple and natural are where it’s at this year; spiked if you wish with a bit of bling or a festive bow. You can buy or scrounge your greenery locally, and add a few found or inexpensive elements. Even a traditional cedar, pine or boxwood wreath can be given a contemporary tweak if you dispense with the usual embellishments. There’s something elegant about a spare, unadorned circle of green. Add a few small apples, oranges, pomegranates or pepperberries for a natural color touch. Wrap or bow-tie the wreath with burlap for a rustic vibe or use velvet ribbon in an unexpected hue such as persimmon, purple or mustard. Wreaths made completely out of cushion moss look striking, as do those made of bay, sage or magnolia

gun. Collect lichen-covered twigs, lashing them together in a geometric shape. Dress with dried hydrangea or roses, tiny pinecones or white lights. Coastal Living magazine suggests tying shells and starfish to wreaths and garlands — great for seaside holiday homes. The design team at Country Living magazine fills a flat-sided fisherman’s basket with greens and berries to hang on the door. And Executive Editor Shelley Ridenour says that while white pine and fir are traditional, “we love the chic, free-spirited look of boxwood. Eucalyptus leaves look fantastic with blue spruce when twisted into a garland or wreath. The key is to keep it simple, so the beauty of the greenery isn’t overwhelmed.� Sunset magazine’s website offers instructions for creating a fragrant snowflake using fir boughs and floral wire. Swags are easy; ramp up the glamour by tying a handful of boughs together with wire and adding creamy ribbon, clusters of glitter-dusted cones or stars.

IN BRIEF What’s new A new outlet saves energy by cutting the power to electronic devices automatically when you don’t need them. The Modlet — short for modern outlet — works a little like a power strip, except you don’t have to flip a switch manually. The two-receptacle device communicates wirelessly with a computer via a USB receiver, allowing you to use Web-based software to monitor your energy consumption and schedule when you want the power to your devices turned on or off. For example, you can tell it to cut the power to your TV or computer printer every day while you’re at work. That stops the device from consuming standby power even when it’s turned off. A single Modlet can be no more than a room away from the computer. But because Modlets communicate with one another, setting up a network of them can give you wider coverage.

ished look to porch rails and fences. Fragrant cedar and long needled pine are attractively shaggy; boxwood and short-needled evergreens work well for a formal front entrance. Mini lights look great in either, as do simple silver, ruby or sapphire ornaments; keep the frippery like ribbons and bows to a minimum for a clean, contemporary look. If you’re lucky enough to have a big front stoop, fill urns with fir boughs, eucalyptus, ilex berries and branches — birch, dogwood and even salvaged twigs from around your neighborhood give height and texture to a pot. Add some spray-painted white ones for contrast. Apartment dwellers might consider a slim florist’s bucket, weighted with a heavy rock and filled with good-smelling cedar. Or splurge on a faux-boxwood topiary, which will last for years, and add a lush bow. Don’t forget the backyard. Place a wreath or garland on patio fences and enclosures, and fill empty planters with greens, unbreakable ornaments, a tangle of lights — or all three. Continue the nature vibe indoors by keeping the palette muted — white, cream, mocha — and go for texture to create interest. Make a trail of ivy along the center of a table, mixing in hurricane lights and glass votive hold-
ers, Ridenour suggests. “Fill terrariums or glass cloches with evergreens or beautiful winter objects, like pinecones or acorns, and display them on a dining table, mantel or bookcase. Hanging a wreath atop a mirror gives it the refined look of framed art,� she says. West Elm has a wreath studded with white felt balls that look like snowballs. It’s available in green or red, too, but the white makes an especially striking statement. The retailer also offers an ethereal feather wreath in white or a gentle dove brown. Pair with copper mercury glass or bisque candle holders, some polished pebbles or a twist of shell pink ribbon and you have an elegant holiday mantelpiece. Whether you’re going with a bundle of bare branches in a pretty pot or a full-size evergreen as your holiday tree, think about decorating it with simple snowflakes made of different materials, such as laser-cut wood or felt. Choose winsome bottlebrush natural-fiber ornaments, in animal shapes such as foxes, bears, owls and raccoons. A tree full of little birds, perhaps, or a garland of paper snowballs and white jingle bells can be charming. A home that’s warmly dressed with outdoor elements says “Happy Holidays� all season long.
tage saris. For a nice old-world look, Restoration Hardware has hand-blown, antiqued-glass, onion-shaped ornaments, and beaded snowflakes, while Garnet Hill offers a set of creamy glass bead and pearl stars. No space for a bushy evergreen? Try Target’s slim-profile tinsel tree, perfect for apartments or entryways. Glitter-crusted tree cones lining the middle of your dining table on a puddle of Epsom salt snow are a chic alternative to traditional centerpieces. Finish the table with blingy chargers and faceted, ornament-shaped place-card holders from Target. If you’re going to go festive,
go all in: Homegoods has a peacock feather wreath that could dress the sideboard, along with little silver dusted birds and white feathered balls. When the dishes are done and peace and quiet reign again, curl up with Restoration Hardware’s faux lynx or coyote fur throw, or Wayfair’s chinchilla or mink throw. Pottery Barn’s faux sheepskin throw is fluffy luxury, and there’s a matching pillow. Overstock.com’s got washable faux cashmere throws that are soft and snuggle-worthy. With the lights turned low and the decorations providing shimmer and shine, the season’s magic is right at home.

On the shelf It’s a rare do-it-yourself book that combines instructions for both homemade potholders and Tantric sex. But “The Bust DIY Guide to Life� isn’t your typical how-to manual. The book, by Bust magazine co-founders Laurie Henzel and Debbie Stoller, is an irreverent yet informative guide to much of what life throws your way — removing laundry stains, lubricating a bicycle chain, even planning a wedding on the cheap. Its wide-ranging topics include craft and sewing pro-
jects, gardening tips, beauty tricks, home maintenance, recipes, travel pointers, party planning, money management and more. The book is geared for a younger audience, or at least for readers who won’t be offended by a little profanity or adult subjects. The “Bust DIY Guide to Life: Making Your Way Through Every Day� is published by STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books and sells for $29.95 in hardcover. Q&A Q: I have a small oval rug that needs cleaning. Who can do that kind of work? The rug is 55 percent wool, 30 percent rayon and 15 percent miscellaneous. The instructions say I can use any good powder cleaner.

A: Stay clear of any kind of dry-cleaning method or product, including powder cleaners, said Ted Arslanian of Arslanian Bros., a carpet- and furniturecleaning company in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, that specializes in cleaning Oriental rugs. He recommended taking the rug to a professional cleaner that will use a process that allows the rug to lie flat while it is submerged in water. Your rug should come through such a cleaning just fine, he said. -- McClatchy-Tribune Newspapers

Security systems Find the source of a leak before dealing with damage can get pricey YOUR PLACE By ALAN HEAVENS The Philadelphia Inquirer
More and more American homes are being burglarized, the Associated Press reports — all in pursuit of gold, whose prices have hit record levels. The New York-based Insurance Information Institute says burglars won’t find your home an “easy mark” if they are forced to work in the light, have to take a lot of time breaking in, or can’t enter without making a lot of noise. Research shows that if it takes more than four or five minutes to break into a house, the intruder will go elsewhere. Eighty percent of homeowners with burglar alarms — in a recent, nationally representative survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center — rated their systems effective at protecting their homes. Consumer Reports magazine says homeowners should expect to pay $1 to $2 per square foot for a complete system, and about $25 per month for monitoring. If you buy a system, the website Homesecurity.org says, costs start at $400 to $500 for a 1,200square-foot home. If you lease a system, start-up expenses range from zero to $99, plus the costs of a monitoring package. The insurance company State Farm describes monitored systems as those in which a private company keeps watch 24 hours a
day, every day, alerting police if something goes wrong and you cannot be contacted. Monitoring subscriptions can run from month to month or up to 36 months, Homesecurity.org says, adding that you should obtain multiple quotes “to ensure you are getting the best value.” The website offers tips for assessing the type of system that’s best for your house, as well as for comparing prices of alarm companies. If you sign a contract, make sure you know the financial costs of early cancellation if you are not happy. Many security companies place limits on their liability if a break-in occurs, even through their negligence. Unmonitored security systems have on-site sirens and flashing lights that alert your neighbors of a break-in, meaning that you’ll be relying on them instead of an alarm company to contact police if you aren’t home. State Farm recommends contacting your local police department before you talk to securitysystem providers, to find out how long it takes to respond to a call and to discuss fines for false alarms, which, after two or three freebies, can start to add up. “Fool burglars by making your home look occupied all the time,” says State Farm, including putting your lights on timers.
Q: We’ve lived in our house for 18 years (it was built in 1985). Over that time, we’ve had water in the basement four times, but only in extreme weather conditions, such as the hurricane in August. The water each time is about five gallons total but enough to damage carpeting, cause a musty smell and possibly cause mold to grow behind the walls. The water seeps through two walls in the same area, so it is a limited area of exposure. I’ve had two waterproofing contractors tell me that I need a sump pump and drainage ditch installed around the perimeter. They also indicated that once they dig down through the foundation, we will probably have water come from under the house on a regular basis. Is this true? Are there alternatives to a sump pump that you can suggest? A: So what they are saying is that the cure they recommend will cause a permanent problem bigger than the one you started with. Doesn’t sound like a cure at all. Four times in 18 years, five gallons of water, same place, damaged carpeting. If the water is coming in the same place, you need to figure
ALAN J. HEAVENS out what is on the surface above those walls that might be leading water in heavy rainstorms to find its way into the walls. Is it poor drainage, with water not going far enough away from the house? If you don’t clean gutters and downspouts regularly, or if you have gutter guards that are covered with sticky pine needles, the water may come pouring over the drain in buckets. This may have resulted in hydrostatic pressure, causing a crack below the surface around the foundation where the water is seeping in. Did the water problem begin immediately after you moved in, or did it appear a few years after? The builder probably graded the area around the foundation properly, but you may have allowed shrubbery along the perimeter to root too close to the foundation, and the water follows its way down. It seems to me that the problem may not be as severe as you are being led to believe. I can tell you, too, that though I have perimeter drains and french drains in my basement that take 99.99 percent of the groundwater into the sump, the
pressure from the high water table cracks the floor in places. It’s a fact of life. The water has to go somewhere, but it would be worth your while, before you start paying a king’s ransom to further mess up your basement, to find the source of those five gallons of water.
••• Q: If memory serves me, some time ago you answered a reader’s question concerning cleaning the grout between ceramic floor tiles. I believe you said after years of trying different methods/products you had finally decided there was only one tried-and-true method. A: Start every grout-cleaning exercise by vacuuming the floor, using the tool that allows you to get into narrow places. To remove stains, you can try a household cleaner, such as Mr. Clean, Lysol, or baking soda mixed with water, and let it sit
for a while to work. (No chlorine bleach on colored grout.) If these cleaners don’t work, try OxiClean, which has oxygenated bleach. Scrub the grout with a brush that is stiffer than a toothbrush but softer than a metal one, and do it periodically. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from getting bigger. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a subsequent e-mail from a reader, who suggested Comet cleanser as a wonderful cleaner for grout lines. Good luck and remember regular maintenance. Things get worse if you let them go, and that applies to everything, including grout lines. Questions? E-mail Alan J. Heavens at aheavens@phillynews.com or write him at The Inquirer, Box 8263, Philadelphia PA 19101.

He is a regular service musician at the Orange United Methodist Church and the Huntsville United Methodist Church, his family’s parish. Pall is a student of Ed Loch, organist and choir director at St. Nicholas Church in WilkesBarre. Pall has had the opportunity to play renowned organs up and down the East Coast including the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia; the Fiske Tracker organ in Boston and most recently the Naval Academy Chapel organ in Annapolis, Md. A free-will offering will be taken to benefit the American Red Cross flood relief. Refreshments will follow.

Monsignor Joseph Rauscher and Samuel Bosch were this year’s recipients of Wyoming Valley Interfaith Council’s annual “Citation of Distinction” award. The award ceremony was held at the East Mountain Inn on Rauscher Nov. 21. Monsignor Rauscher was one of the founders of the “Living a New Life” support group for the widowed. He helped found the Scranton chapter of the “Beginning Experience,” a weekend program for separated, divorced and widowed individuals and also was moderator for several monthly support groups for the Separated and Divorced in the Diocese. Monsignor Rauscher was also involved with the formation of “Faith Speaking With One Voice” a congregation-centered community organization formed by the clergy leaders of congregations in the Wilkes-Barre region. The group seeks to help congregations discover ways to bring about positive change needed in significant local community issues and to inspire members to take responsibility for establishing justice and building relationships to strengthen the quality of life in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera, bishop of Scranton, gave the invocation at the ceremony to honor Rauscher. Bosch, a graduate of GAR Memorial High School and a World War II veteran, is a member of Temple B’nai B’rith, where he has served in various capacities, including president. He is recognized in the community for his participation in interfaith programs and service projects throughout the years. A retired accountant, he founded the Continuing Education Seminars for accountant license credit at Wilkes University. His list of accomplishments is long and well-known, touching the lives of enormous numbers of people throughout the Wyoming Valley. Bosch, who is a patient at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, was unable to attend the awards ceremony. Rabbi Roger Lerner accepted the award on his behalf.

Hard-working girl disappointed by her mother’s lack of gratitude Dear Abby: I’m a 12-year-old girl who has a problem with my mom. Once a week we clean the house, which is fairly large. Even when I do a good job on every room my mom never says, “Nice job,” “Good work,” or even a simple “Thanks.” It hurts my feelings because I thank her for all the things she does for me. Am I wrong to want or expect compliments in return? — Never Thanked in Oregon Dear Never Thanked: No, you’re not wrong. I don’t know anyone of any age who doesn’t crave positive reinforcement. Have you mentioned to your mother how this makes you
DEAR ABBY ADVICE feel? Because if you haven’t, you’re expressing your disappointment to the wrong person. Dear Abby: I’m 15 and my parents have decided they want to have another kid. Shouldn’t parents talk to their other children about this? None of us was asked for our opinion. Mom has had health problems almost my entire life, so I had to grow up extremely fast. I watched her have a seizure while we were out shopping, and she was often in the hospital. I don’t want another child to go
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
through this, too. When I say something I’m told I’m being selfish and rude. This new baby is already loved more because my dad hopes she will be better than me. Am I wrong to feel this is unfair? — Unhappy Teen in Southern California Dear Unhappy Teen: Fairness may not enter into it at all. The reason you and your siblings were not asked for input about your mother having another child may be that the baby was as much a surprise to your parents as it is to all of you. Your complaining won’t improve the situation, which may be why you’ve been told you need an attitude adjustment. You say you grew up fast. Well, it’s time to accelerate the process even

more. This isn’t a competition for your parents’ love. I’m sure they love all of you and they’d show it if you stopped being self-centered. Dear Abby: Every year we send a holiday letter along with our greeting cards. The letter usually highlights events of immediate family members from the past year. This year there is a problem. Our 22-year-old son, “Dexter,” is in jail on burglary charges related to a drug problem. Many of our friends and relatives already know about this, but others are not aware. Our son’s siblings are doing well and we like to report on their activities. However, we are confused concerning Dexter. We really cannot send the holiday letter and leave him
out, but neither can we fabricate a story concerning his status. Telling the truth would be informational but also awkward. We would appreciate your advice. — Holiday Letter Writer Dear Letter Writer: Write the letter as you usually would, and when you get to your incarcerated son, say: “Dexter has taken some time to rethink his future. He sends you all his love.” You do not have to go into any more detail. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If only you could process information without attaching emotional meaning to everything. But it turns out all those feelings are what make you irresistible to a certain someone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t be upset and have hope and optimism at the same time. Let yourself feel the upset and move through it — it won’t last long. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll come to a juncture you’ve seen before. You’ll make a choice that’s better for you this time. It won’t be easier, but it will make everything lighter and brighter. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peer pressure isn’t just for schoolchildren. It will appear that many around you share the same beliefs and attitudes — or do they? Some are merely succumbing to suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes it’s OK to stop striving to live up to your potential. You won’t be able to relax for too long, but whatever comfort you can manage will give you much needed perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be given a lot of raw ingredients and not too much instruction as to how they should all go together. This is good news. You’re free to create. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You respect your elders; you always have. You may not always have had the proper manners, attention and awareness to express your respect like you do now, though. In some way, you’ll feel like you’re making up for that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a giver. But you also know that if you give too much up front, no one will be interested. And people would rather pay something than get it for free. So you’ll make people work a little. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll follow through with a thankless job. You know that no one will give you money, a trophy or even a cookie for this. But you don’t care. You’re doing it for personal reasons, and the reward will be significant, if only to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are some behaviors you repeat that just don’t make sense. But you’re about to get to the bottom of this, and you’ll soon exercise greater control over the matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Aquarius musician and composer Snuffy Walden said, “Music is the answer. Does the question really matter?” Today you’ll use music to get into the optimum mood and solve your problem. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need attention, and you’ll get it. Realizing that you need it (instead of denying this fact because you think you shouldn’t) will help you work in positive and constructive ways for attention. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 3). There will be a fantastic addition to your home life. You’ll shoot for a particular aim, and it will feel so right. Someone falls in love with your winning ways this spring. You’ll love how your work is presented in May. Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 1, 29 and 19.

Mazda MX-55 Convertible looks great -- top up or down quick-shifting six-speed gearbox in which the firstand sixth-gear slots seem separated by only an inch or two. If your body is as bulky and rickety as mine – or longer than 6-foot from scalp to toenails – you might want to seek your four-wheel fun elsewhere. The cabin is tight vertically and horizontally, and entering it when the top is up requires the kind of deep knee bends my eighth-grade gym teacher used to demand. But once inside the Miata Special Edition – especially when the weather permits top-down motoring – you’ll discover more driving fun per square inch and dollar than in just about any other four-wheel conveyance on the planet.
SCOTT WASSER WHEELS “April is the cruelest month,” proclaimed T.S. Eliot in his epic 1922 poem, The Waste Land. Eliot apparently never lived in Pennsylvania, where November is unquestionably the cruelest month. November strikes the final deathblow to Pennsylvania’s startlingly brilliant fall foliage, leaving only the skeletal remains of bare trees. November means Pennsylvanians have to dress for work before sunrise and drive home in the dark. November changes Pennsylvania’s moderate and often lovely early fall weather into at least one ice, sleet or snowstorm. It turns balmy days and cool nights into a piercing chill that mocks sweaters and light jackets. Sounds like the worst possible time to test-drive a convertible, right? That’s what I thought when I learned my next test car was going to be a 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition. No, that’s not what I thought. But because this is a general-interest publication with readers of all ages and sensibilities, I can’t print my real feelings. Suffice it to say I wasn’t a happy camper. Then something strange happened…. Some call it global warming. November came and went into the record books as one of the warmest on record. Daytime temperatures were generally in the 50s and even 60s during my week with the Miata (sorry, Mazda, but I still can’t get used to calling it an MX-5). The diminutive, rearwheel drive roadster never saw a snowflake and didn’t even breathe a frosty breath while in my possession. Who knew November could be so kind? I was able to relish the Miata rather than revile it. I was able to put its top down instead of pulling the collar and hood on my coat up. What a treat! I’ve been one of its biggest fans ever since the Miata debuted in 1989 as a 1990 model. In a bold stroke of marketing genius and
NUTS AND BOLTS What is it? 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition, a decked-out, limited edition, two-seat roadster. What's it cost? $23,905 for the least expensive model; $31,720 for a Special Edition like the one tested. What I liked best: Fun, fun, fun and just 12 seconds from coupe to convertible. What I liked least: Being too fat and weak-kneed to get in or out easily. Important numbers: 2.0-liter, 16-valve inline 4-cyl. produces 167 hp, 140 lbsft of torque. 6-speed manual. 91.7-inch wheelbase. 2,593-lb curb weight. 21 city/28 highway mpg (EPA). 0-60 in 7.2 seconds (stopwatch). 5.3 cu.ft. trunk
Payback time on owning a hybrid depends on the price of fuel, as well as where and how you drive.
automotive engineering, Mazda introduced a new generation to the sheer joy of driving an affordable two-seat roadster. The Special Edition MX-5 Miata celebrates that success. Mazda starts with a top-of-the-line Grand Touring model with retractable hardtop, endows it with all available options and then covers the inside with distinctive gray leather and the outside with one of two exclusive paint shades. At $31,720 for the six-speed manual transmission version I tested (add $600 for the automatic), the Special Edition Miata isn’t nearly as affordable as the $24,000, entry level Sport model. But there’s always a premium
for exclusivity, and only 750 Special Editions were built. You may still be able to find one because the 2012 Miatas haven’t reached dealers (and will essentially be the same as the 2011 models when they do arrive).
