STATECOLLEGEJimmyCe-
falo had made up his mind. As a
17-year-oldfootball star at Pittston
Area High School, he knewexact-
ly where he was going to play in
college.
And it wasnt Penn State.
Cefalo had eagerly returned
home to tell his
parents, Charles
andGertrude, of
his decision. He
was surprised,
however, to find
them in the
kitchenwhenhe
arrived.
Sitting with Joe Paterno.
As his mother ladled tomato
sauce on Paternos pasta and his
father poured the Penn State
coach some of his homemade
wine, Cefalo never even got the
words out.
At the age of 17, Joe was at my
front door, Cefalo said. Pretty
extraordinary for a kid from Pitt-
ston, Pennsylvania.
I never had that conversation
with my mother or father about
the university I was goingtogoto.
I was a Penn Stater fromthat mo-
ment forward.
It was one of many stories that
stood out in the mind of the Lu-
zerne County legend as he was in-
vited to speak Thursday at AMe-
morial For Joe, one final goodbye

lung cancer at age 85.

POLICE BLOTTER
SAN FRANCISCO A quar-
ter-century after the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration ap-
proved the first prescription
drugs based on the main psy-
choactive ingredient in mari-
juana, additional medicines de-
rived from or inspired by the
cannabis plant itself could
soon be making their way to
pharmacy shelves, according
to drug companies, small bio-
tech firms and university scien-
tists.
A British company, GW
Pharma, is in advanced clinical
trials for the worlds first phar-
maceutical developed fromraw
marijuana instead of synthetic
equivalents a mouth spray it
hopes to market in the U.S. as a
treatment for cancer pain.
And it hopes to see FDA ap-
proval by the end of 2013.
Sativex contains marijuanas
two best known components
delta 9-THC and cannabi-
diol and already has been
approved in Canada, New Zeal-
and and eight European coun-
tries for a different usage, re-
lieving muscle spasms associ-
ated with multiple sclerosis.
FDA approval would repre-
sent an important milestone in
the nations often uneasy rela-
tionship with marijuana, which
16 states and the District of Co-
lumbia already allow residents
to use legally with doctors rec-
ommendations.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration categorizes pot
as a dangerous drug with no
medical value, but the availa-
bility of a chemically similar
prescription drug could in-
crease pressure on the federal
government to revisit its posi-
tion and encourage other drug
companies to follow in GW
Pharmas footsteps.
There is a real disconnect
between what the public seems
to be demanding and what the
states have pushed for and
what the market is providing,
said Aron Lichtman, a Virginia
Commonwealth University
pharmacology professor and
president of the International
Cannabinoid Research Society.
It seems to me a company
with a great deal of vision
would say, If there is this de-
mand and need, we could de-
velop a drug that will help peo-
ple and we will make a lot of
money.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Newt Gingrich cast Mitt Rom-
ney as the most anti-immigrant
candidate of the four contenders
for the Republican presidential
nomination in campaign debate
Thursday night in Hispanic-
heavy Florida.
Thats simply inexcusable,
the former Massachusetts gover-
nor shot back, heatedly denying
the accusation.
Romney quickly added that
Gingrichs campaign had stop-
ped running a radio ad that
made the anti-immigrant
charge after Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio called on him to do so.
Romney said to Gingrich con-
cerning the ad, I think you
should apologize for it.
The exchange came near the
beginning of the second debate
in four days in advance of next
Tuesdays Florida primary.
Opinion polls make the race a
close one, with two other con-
tenders, former Sen. Rick Santo-
rum of Pennsylvania and Texas
Rep. Ron Paul, trailing far be-
hind.
But Santorum drew applause
from the audience when he
called on the two front-runners
to stop attacking one another
and focus on the issues.
Can we set aside that Newt
was a member of Congress ...
and that Mitt Romney is a
wealthy guy? he said in a tone
of exasperation.
That seemed unlikely, given
the stakes in the primary now
five days distant.
Gingrich picked up on the
theme quickly, calling on moder-
ator Wolf Blitzer of CNN to let
the four candidates discuss the
issues.
The audience booed, as if in
agreement with Gingrich, but
Romney jumped in, saying,
Wouldnt it be nice if people
didnt make accusations some-
where else that they werent
willing to defend here.
Moments earlier, Romney and
Gingrich had exchanged jabs
over investments in Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, two mortgage
giants that played a role in the
national foreclosure crisis that
has hit Florida particularly hard.
Gingrich said Romney was
making money from invest-
ments in funds that were fore-
closing on Floridians.
Romney quickly noted that
Gingrich, too, was invested in
mutual funds with Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac.
He then added that the former
House speaker was a spokes-
man for the two. That was a
reference to a contract that one
of Gingrichs businesses had for
consulting services. The firm
was paid $300,000 in 2006.
There were some moments of
levity, including when Paul, 76,
was asked whether he would be
willing to release his
medical records.
He said he was, then
challenged the other
three men on the de-
bate stage to a 25-mile
bike race.
He got no takers.
Romney and Gin-
grich had clashed re-
peatedly in the first de-
bate of the week, held
Monday in Tampa.
Gingrichs unexpect-
ed victory in the South
Carolina primary last
weekend upended the
race to pick a Repub-
lican opponent for
Democratic President
Barack Obama in the
fall, and Romney can ill afford
another setback.
In the days since his loss, he
has tried to seize the initiative,
playing the aggressor in the
Tampa debate and assailing Gin-
grich in campaign speeches and
a TV commercial.
An outside group formed to
support Romney has spent more
than his own campaigns mil-
lions on ads, some of them de-
signed to stop Gingrichs cam-
paign momentum before it is
too late to deny him the nomi-
nation.
Gingrichs performance in a
pair of South Carolina debates
are generally believed to have
helped him to his victory there,
and Romneys aides have ex-
pressed concern that the debate
audience might benefit the for-
mer House speaker.
The issue was clearly on Rom-
neys mind as he campaigned at
a factory several hours before
the debate began.
There may be some give and
take. Thats always entertain-
ing, he said. If you all could
get in there wed love to see you
all there cheering.
A voice from the audience re-
sponded that there were no
more tickets, and Romney re-
plied: No tickets? Just storm
in.
Gingrich seemed far less con-
fident as he campaigned his way
into the debate.
He unleashed an attack remi-
niscent of his rhetoric a month
ago when he was being outspent
heavily on television and falling
sharply in the polls just before
the Iowa caucuses.
He accused Romney and Re-
store Our Future, the
independent group,
of dishonest ads, and
said, This is the des-
perate last stand of
the old order. This is
the kind of gall they
have, to think were
so stupid and were
so timid.
He later told re-
porters he decided to
sharpen his criti-
cisms after Romney
released his tax re-
turns.
Heres a guy who
owns Freddie Mac
and Fannie Mae
stock, Gingrich
said. He owns a
Goldman Sachs subsidiary,
which is foreclosing on Flor-
idians. And on that front he de-
cides to lie about my career?
Theres something about the hy-
pocrisy that should make every
American angry.
Romney released his income
tax returns for 2010 and an esti-
mate for 2011 after declining to
do so in South Carolina.
Gingrich, also under pressure,
disclosed the consulting con-
tract one of his firms had with
Freddie Mac, the government-
backed mortgage giant that
played a role in the foreclosure
crisis that hit Florida especially
hard.
It showed payments of
$300,000 in 2006 for unspecified
consulting services.
Romney has pummeled Gin-
grich in the days since, calling
him an influence peddler and a
lobbyist who was taking money
from the very organization that
was harming Floridians.

WILKES-BARRE
State AG to handle appeal
The state Office of Attorney General
will handle an appeal of a Luzerne
County judges ruling that lowered the
grading of a charge filed against a
local attorney accused of fatally strik-
ing a pedestrian.
Luzerne County District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis said the case in-
volving Megan Panowicz had to be
transferred because Salavantis had
worked for the law firm of Panowiczs
father, Robert, prior
to being elected dis-
trict attorney.
Megan Panowicz
was charged with
leaving the scene of
an accident in the
Aug. 7, 2008, death of
Sharon Shaughnessy.
Shaughnessy was
killed after she was struck on Wyom-
ing Avenue in Kingston by three vehi-
cles, including one allegedly driven by
Panowicz.
Panowicz and one of the other driv-
ers left the scene before police arrived.
Prosecutors are challenging a ruling
issued in April by Senior Judge Char-
les Brown Jr. that lowered the grading
of one of the charge against Panowicz
from a third-degree felony to a first-
degree misdemeanor a decision that
reduces the potential prison sentence
from a mandatory one year in prison
to 90 days in prison.
HARRISBURG
Gas drillers permits eyed
The Susquehanna River Basin Com-
mission will vote a second time on
project applications it first approved
at its December meeting in Wilkes-
Barre Township.
Protesters opposing the use of sur-
face water managed by the commis-
sion in natural gas drilling brought
that meeting to a raucous and abrupt
end.
The commissioners ended the pub-
lic comment portion of the meeting
after about two hours, prompting
protesters to leave their seats and
chant their opposition.
The board of commissioners then
hastily voted to approve 24 withdraw-
al permits, mostly filed by gas drillers.
The commission has decided to
reconsider its December action on
those project applications because the
disruptive behavior of certain individ-
uals prevented interested persons
from offering testimony at the time,
said SRBC Executive Director Paul
Swartz. The commission will hold a
public hearing in February to accept
public comments on water withdrawal
and consumptive-use project applica-
tions scheduled for action by SRBC
prior to its March meeting.
The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 16
from 2:30 to 5 p.m. in the Pennsylva-
nia State Capitol, East Wing, Room
8E-B.
Persons planning to present oral

SHICKSHINNY
Barletta backs post office
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta issued a
press release Thursday saying that the
Shickshinny Post Office should reopen
within 60 days.
Barletta, R-Hazleton, said office
received a letter from the Central
Pennsylvania District of the U.S. Post-
al Service indicating the post office
damaged by Tropical Storm Lee in
September 2011 should be operation-
al in 60 days.
This is great news
for the people of
Shickshinny. As I said
before, a post office is
often the focal point
of small communities
in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, Barlet-
ta said.
Shickshinny officials and citizens
have been concerned about their
towns future because the borough has
had no grocery store, bank or post
office since the flooding.
The Shickshinny post office was
flooded with several feet of standing
water on the first floor, resulting in
heavy damage.

When the state Supreme Court threw
out redistricting plans for state House
and Senate districts, it created confu-
sion and left candidates like Pete Mail-
loux wondering what district he should
be running in or whether hell run at all.
Mailloux, a RepublicanfromFairview
Township, initially entered the race for
the 121st House District shortly after
the new boundaries were approved by
the state Legislative Reapportionment
Commission.
But on Wednesday
the court found the re-
districting plan failed
to meet the standards
required by the state
Constitution and or-
dered new districts be
drawn.
But when that will happen and what
those districts will look like are unclear,
andthat leaves candidates like Mailloux
unsure into what district their home
municipalities will be slotted. He had
lived in the 119th District the past 10
years before Fairview Township was
designated to be part of the new121st.
If the old legislative districts are kept
in place for another election cycle the
court order states that until a valid new
map is approved, the 2001 districts are
in effect then Mailloux and others
would have to make a decision.
Republican Rick Arnold, a home-
builder form Rice Township, has al-
ready announced he would be trying to
unseat Rep. GeraldMullery, D-Newport
Township, in the 119th.
Mailloux said he doubts Republican
Party leadership would want a contest
in the primary, and he would wait for
guidance from the party to determine
if hed move ahead with his campaign.
Casey: Confusion created
Terry Casey, chairman of the Luzerne
County Republican Party, said the
courts action created confusion.
This is quite a mess, Casey said.

When former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Mar-
golies comes to Scranton on Saturday,
James Burke hopes she will be met by
hundreds, maybe thousands of protes-
ters.
Margolies, a womens rights advocate
who represented Pennsylvanias 13th
District in the Philadelphia area for one
term, will speak at the universitys inau-
gural Ready to Run Conference on Sat-
urday. She will speak on how women
with political ambitions should prepare
to run for office, but it is her views on
abortion that have drawn the outrage of
Burke and other pro-life advocates.
Burke, who splits his time between
Bear Creek and Moorestown N.J., said
he and others will pro-
test the University of
Scrantons invitation of
Margolies and others
with pro-choice views
to speak at the confer-
ence.
Burke accused Uni-
versity of Scranton
President the Rev. Ke-
vin Quinn of defying
Bishop Joseph Bambe-
ra, who in a statement
last week called the in-
vitation dismaying
and personally dis-
heartening.
Burke said he wants
Quinns vow to never
again invite a pro-
choice speaker to a uni-
versity event, and if
Quinn is unwilling to
do so, for Bambera to
remove the colleges
Catholic affiliation.
University spokesman Stanley Zyg-
munt said the institution would not re-
spondtothe protest specifically, but that
a statement issued last week by Quinn
still applies.
Speakers for this university event are
experts chosen to provide women with
informationabout the challenges of poli-
tics; they are not chosen to engage in a
discussion of abortion, Quinn said. By
inviting these speakers to campus, the
university is not endorsing their person-
al views. we, like Bishop Bambera,
strongly oppose the pro-abortion views
of Ms. Margolies.
Burkes protest will run fromnoon un-
til 1p.m. in the Prayer Garden next to St.
Peters Cathedral, 315 Wyoming Ave. He
believes hundreds will attend, and be
bolstered in ranks by participants in two
other events the same day.
The American Society for the Defense
of Tradition, Family and Property, a na-
tional group claiming University of
Scranton students among its members,
is planning a demonstration opposing
Margolies presence between11a.m. and
noon at the corner of Mulberry Street
and Jefferson Avenue.
Spokesman John Ritchie said the
Area man
vows mass

Margolies
He says he hopes hundreds, maybe
thousands will oppose pro-choice

WILKES-BARRE Peter Gagliardi
spent his five minutes Thursdayinfront
of City Council asking for decorum at
meetings because he and many other
residents are concerned about the citys
imageandits prospects for abrighter fu-
ture.
Gagliardi, of South Hancock Street,
said council needs to check the behav-
ior at meetings to preserve the citys
reputation. If things dont change, Ga-
gliardi said, council shouldnt expect
people or businesses to locate here.
Andthenit was dj vuall over again,
as Yogi Berra would say.
Gagliardi finished his presentation
about 20 minutes before former city
towing contractor Bob Kadluboski was
gaveled out of order by Council Chair-
man Mike Merritt and two city police
officers came forward to escort himout
of council chambers.
Youre becoming disruptive, Mer-
ritt told Kadluboski.
I talk loud, I knowthat, Kadluboski
said. Im frustrated.
When he couldnt get answers to his
questions questions that
were asked at councils last
meeting two weeks ago Ka-
dluboski got upset.
Youre a bunch of clowns,
he said. This isnt Iraq or Af-
ghanistan. This isnt Russia. Why dont
youhave the police officers take me out-
side and shoot me already?
It was the kind of scene Gagliardi
warned council about.
Weneedcivilityandprofessionalism
at these meetings, he said. When you
serve the public, expect criticism. Its
part of your job. Listen to our concerns
and solve our problems. And dont ever
expect any credit.
Kadluboski again aired his displea-
sure over LAG Towing, the company
that took over when the city fired Ka-
dluboski. He said LAG charges exorbi-
tant towing fees, doesnt keep accurate
records and the city does nothing to
stop it.
Mark Robbins of Forty Fort took it a
step further. He charged that LAG is
towing cars and not returning them to
the owners. He suggested a conspiracy
involvingMayor TomLeighton, city po-
lice and LAG owner Leo A. Glodzik.
Tyler Hammond, who has filed a law-
suit against the city regarding the for-
mer Old River Road Bakery building,
askedcouncil why a portionof the prop-
erty cant be sold separately from the
larger parcel where
thebakerysits. Ham-
mond said there are
three parcels to the
property that were al-
ways listed separate-
ly, but are now being treated as one.
Hammond and his wife want to pur-
chase a strip of property behind their
home where Mrs. Hammond had a gar-
den.
Dont gojust bywhat theadministra-
tion tells you, Hammond admonished
council. Its important council gets in-
volved with this.
Linda Urban of George Avenue asked
Merritt to stop taking benefits offered
to City Council members. Merritt is
paid $28,294 in salary and benefits as
council chairman. Urban said taxpayers
shouldnt pay for Merritts health bene-
fits.
Where is it written that we should
pay for these benefits? Urban said.
You have a job. Why dont you take the
benefits offered there?
Betsy Summers, SouthWelles Street,
askedcouncil toexamine the citys ordi-
nances regarding rental properties. She
recentlywas fined$1,000bythecityand
wants to appeal, but it costs $100 to file,
she said.
This is the kind of stuff that stops
people from fighting City Hall, she
said.

WHAT S NEXT
In his 90 years, Alvin S.
Buddy Rothstein was
many things a war hero, a
successful Realtor and en-
trepreneur, a community
leader and a devoted hus-
band and friend.
Friends recalled Roth-
stein, who passed away
Wednesday after a year-
long fight with cancer, as a
man who always went
above and beyond.
Buddy was larger than
life, said Gene Ross, an
old friend and sometimes
attorney for Rothstein.
He was the kind of guy
that when you spoke to
him you felt like you were
his lifelong friend.

new lines will be drawn and
what rules candidates will be
playing under, he said its pre-
mature to discuss specific
strategies for races or candi-
dates.
Well have to play the cards
were dealt, Casey said.
A three-week period to gath-
er signatures to get on the bal-
lot got under way Tuesday, and
Mailloux will continue circu-
lating his nominating pet-
itions in what was to be the
121st District.
Its an unfortunate situa-
tion that it occurred after nom-
inating petitions are already
out, Mailloux said. A lot of
plans might have to be al-
tered.
Arnold called the news a
kick in the teeth and said he
couldnt foresee a primary bat-
tle with Mailloux.
In the end it will come
down to a coin flip or some-
thing, he said.
But in the meantime, he said
his campaigns plan is to col-
lect signatures from the old
and the proposed 119th dis-
tricts and make sure it has at
least double the 300 required
signatures from each district
to avert dropping below the
minimum.
State Rep. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, said legislators
will have no direction to make
adjustments until the court is-
sues its opinion.
Written opinion coming
According to an Associated
Press story, a spokesman for
the state Supreme Court says
the four-justice majority opin-
ion that lays out why the new
legislative district maps were
invalidated wont be issued be-
fore next week.
Deputy court administrator
Tom Darr said Thursday the
written opinion is at least sev-
eral days away, but the justices
realize its important they re-
lease it quickly.
I said from the start that the
plan unfairly treated many
communities and would have
had a negative impact on their
representation in the General
Assembly, Mullery said. The
court apparently agreed that
the plan didnt meet constitu-
tional requirements. Other
than that, I will reserve addi-
tional comment until Ive had a
chance to look at the courts
opinion once it is issued.

Ritchie said nearly 8,000 peo-

posing the invitation of Margo-

Burke is also hoping members
of the Scranton Chapter of Penn-
sylvanians for Human Life will
attend the meeting following
their annual Prayer Breakfast,
which concludes at noon Satur-
day.
President Helen Goshler said
her group opposes the invitation
of pro-life speakers but that as a
non-sectarian group its point of
view is somewhat different from
Burkes. Goshler said depending
on the nature of the protest, an
announcement about the protest
might be made at the breakfast,
but the group isnt planning on
participating en masse.
I cant anticipate how many
people will go, she said. I imag-
ine some will. Will there be a cou-

But, she appeared to leave the door
open for a possible eventual return, add-
ing to laughter from the crowd that ev-
eryone always says that when they leave
these jobs.
As secretary of state, Clinton is barred
from partisan politics and she acknowl-
edged that it is unusual not to be partici-
pating in this election season. But, she
said she is enjoying being away from the
fray and hasnt watched any of the GOP
debates.
It is a little odd for me to be totally
out of an election season, she said.
But, you know, I didnt watch any of
those debates.
Clinton said she expected the cam-
paign for Novembers election to suck
up a lot of the attention normally devot-
ed to foreign policy issues but she joked
that that might actually help the State
Department.
The good news is maybe we can even
get more done if they are not paying
attention, so just factor that in.

You condition yourself,
Rothstein said, recalling his
wartime experience in a 2002
Times Leader interview. You
have to control the fear. If you
cant control yourself, you
cant control the plane. The

Joseph Brown of Scranton,
a lifelong friend, served in the
same plane as Rothstein, and
the pair hitchhiked back to
London after the plane was

After the war, Rothstein

Rothstein built housing de-

ing active in the company un-
til recently.
He had a real passion for
the real estate profession,
said Carol Leighton Gray, ex-
ecutivedirectorof theGreater
Wilkes-Barre Association of

Rothstein was active in
many community and profes-

serving as board president of
Temple Bnai Brith of King-
ston, the Greater Wilkes-
Barre Association of Realtors
and the Wilkes-Barre Rotary
Club, and holding leadership
roles in the Building Industry
Association of Northeastern
Pennsylvania and the Jewish

Donna Sedor, president of
theWilkes-BarreRotaryClub,
said Rothstein helped orga-
nize a 1989 speaking tour of
Sri Lanka and hosted numer-

over the years.
He was a wonderful man
who did extraordinary things
and always put service above

Rabbi Roger Lerner of Tem-

require an estimated 129 layoffs,
but 23 people have already been
cut this year through retire-
ments, terminations and the
elimination of several elected
posts under the new home rule
government.
He will quickly present each
manager with their overall dol-
lar allocations and allow them
to tailor their department bud-
gets within those amounts.
Though they may have pre-
ferred other options, the follow-
ing council members ultimately
agreed to support the no-tax-
hike budget: Edward Brominski,
Harry Haas, Rick Williams,
Elaine Maddon Curry, Stephen
A. Urban and Stephen J. Urban.
Council members Jim Bo-
beck, Tim McGinley, Linda
McClosky Houck and Eugene
Kelleher were willing to support
a 2 percent hike while using
capital funding to help pay debt,
which would have required 56
layoffs.
McClosky Houck and Kelleh-
er had to leave the meeting be-
fore the straw vote, but Bobeck
believes they will all consider
the no-tax-hike budget because
reverting back to the commis-
sioner-approved budget is the
only other remaining alterna-
tive.
Pribula said the budget inher-
ited from commissioners con-
tains exaggerated revenue, re-
quires 119 layoffs and would
likely lead to litigation from
court branches, the district at-
torney and public defender.
This budget is austere but
extremely honest, Bobeck said
of the plan that has majority
support.
McGinley said he cant vote
for the no-tax option because he
believes 106 layoffs will hamper
services and may still prompt
litigation from the court, dis-
trict attorney and public defend-
er.
Councilman Rick Morelli was
not at the meeting. He said he
does not want a tax increase but
had hoped for other temporary
fixes to reduce layoffs.
However, several alternatives
proposed by Morelli, including
a cash advance on back-tax liens
and a 10-day furlough and in-
creased health care contribu-
tions for non-union workers, did
not receive majority support
from council members in straw
votes Thursday.
Pribula said the courts may
be willing to accept the budget
version accepted by council be-
cause it restored some funding.
Court branches spent a total
$22.6 million in 2011 and will
receive $20.7 million under the
new budget, or $1.9 million less.
The budget adopted by commis-
sioners reduced spending in
court branches to $18.9 million,
or a loss of $3.7 million.
Pribula told council he be-
lieves Chief Public Defender Al
Flora will sue the county no
matter what because none of
the options considered by coun-
cil would provide the funding
hes requesting.
He noted the public defender
is selected by the manager with
council confirmation, leaving
the option to appoint someone
new if theres a lack of cooper-
ation.
Brominski, who had consid-
ered raising taxes but returned
to his original no-hike stance,
said hes not going to put up
with departments holding a
hammer over my head with li-
tigation threats.
The DA, courts and public
defender they dont intimidate
me, Brominski said.
Haas said he cant worry
about litigation.
It is what it is. Were a
strapped county. Frankly, I find
it ridiculous that were suing
ourselves, Haas said.
Haas asked Pribula about the
impact of 106 cuts.
Pribula said he believes it will
hurt the process a little bit as
the new government is imple-
mented. He said the last people
hired are often furloughed. A
good portion of those people
end up being probably the bet-
ter workers, he said.
Pribula continued his advise-
ment to get off the high of
one-time fixes but was unable to
convince enough members to
raise taxes.
He bannered his sheet of bud-
get options with Albert Ein-
steins definition of insanity
doing the same thing over and
over again and expecting differ-
ent results.
Maddon Curry said she
couldnt ask property owners to
pay more until council members
have demonstrated the county
has its house in order.
She repeatedly urged fellow
council members to add $1.4
million in capital funding bor-
rowed with interest to the bud-
get to soften the blow of no tax
hike but couldnt sell the idea.
I know youre not for one-
time fixes, but this one is not
disturbing to anybody, Maddon
Curry said.
Its horrible, Williams said,
with others agreeing.
Williams said he supports
unions but was disappointed
with their unwillingness to con-
sider a freeze on pay raises or a
12-day furlough.
In lieu of that we have to
adopt a serious austerity con-
cept, and thats what were
about to do, and hopefully well
pull through this and come out
of it leaner, stronger, more effi-
cient and will begin a culture of
excellence and best practices
and customer service, Williams
said.
Thats the hope. Its going to
a painful year, he added.
Stephen J. Urban said manag-
ers are replaceable if they dont
rise to the challenge to do more
with less, saying its an employ-
ers market.

Luzerne Countys three assess-
ment appeal board members will
be paid $150 per session, for a
maximum of $8,000 annually, the
county council agreed Thursday.
Appeal board members had been
paid $29,777 to $32,509 annually

county commissioners reduced
the compensation to $15,000
without benefits last year.
Donald Warren, Neil Allen and

ASSESSMENT BOARD PAY SET
WILKES-BARRE A Ha-
zleton man pleaded guilty
Wednesday to two counts of
robbery stemming from two
separate incidents in the Ha-
zleton area.
Leonel Ortiz Colon, 28, of
Alter Street, entered the plea
before Luzerne County Senior
Judge Hugh Mundy, who said
Colon will be sentenced
March 13.
According to court papers,
on Sept. 3, police were called
to Craigs Food Mart on West
Broad Street, where a clerk
said a male with a mask en-
tered the store, displayed a
knife and demanded money.
The clerk said the man fled
with money and a pack of
cigarettes.
on Sept. 5, a clerk at the
Puffs N Pics convenience
store on West 15th Street said
a Hispanic male entered the
store and asked where the
restroom was located.
The same male, according
to court papers, again ap-
proached the counter, bran-
dished a handgun, later deter-
mined to be a BB gun, and
demanded money.
WILKES-BARRE A She-
nandoah woman pleaded
guilty and was sentenced
Wednesday to 18 months
probation in a case in which
the state Attorney Generals
Office says she falsified pay-

ed through the Anthracite
Region Center for Independ-
ent Living.
Sandra Katalenas, 43, of
South Main Street, pleaded
guilty to a charge of Medicaid
fraud and was sentenced by
Luzerne County Senior Judge
Hugh Mundy.
Katalenas was receiving care

her nephew, Thomas Katale-
nas, in early 2009. In August
2010, workers at ARCIL began
noticing pay periods for
which checks were signed by
Thomas Katalenas, but his
signature did not match with
previous payroll checks.
Investigators later learned
that Sandra Katalenas was
submitting falsified payroll
sheets, totaling more than
$2,000, for just under a year.
Thomas Katalenas, 22, of
Tamaqua, is awaiting trial in
Luzerne County Court on
similar charges.
WILKES-BARRE A King-

in four different cases in
which police say she sold
suspected heroin to a police
informant on a number of
occasions.
Morinelli received over 300
days credit for time already
served.
in January, February, April

WASHINGTON
Iran said ready for talks
I
ran is ready to revive talks with the
U.S. and other world powers, Presi-
dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said
Thursday, but suggested that Tehrans
foes will have to make compromises to
prevent negotiations from again col-
lapsing in stalemate.
Irans insistence that it will never
give up uranium enrichment scuttled
negotiations a year ago and still looms
as a potential deal breaker even as
tougher Western sanctions target Irans
critical oil exports.
The European Union recently adopt-
ed its toughest measures yet on Iran
with an oil embargo and freeze of the
countrys central bank assets.
BENGHAZI, LIBYA
Medical group halts work
Doctors Without Borders has sus-
pended its work in prisons the Libyan
city of Misrata because it said torture
was so rampant that some detainees
were brought for care only to make
them fit for further interrogation, the
group said Thursday.
The announcement was compound-
ed by a statement from Amnesty In-
ternational saying it has recorded wide-
spread prisoner abuse in other cities as
well, leading to the death of several
inmates.
The allegations, which come more
than three months after former leader
Moammar Gadhafi was captured and
killed, were an embarrassment to the
governing National Transitional Coun-
cil, which is struggling to establish its
authority in the divided nation.
NEW YORK
NYPD chiefs son charged
The son of New York Citys police
commissioner, Raymond Kelly, also a
co-host of a popular New York City
morning television show, has been
accused of sexually assaulting a wom-
an, a person familiar with the investiga-
tion said Thursday.
Greg Kelly, 43, was absent Thursday
morning from his job as anchor of
Good Day New York and through a
lawyer denied the allegations.
The woman said she had drinks with
him on Oct. 8, then went back to her
office, where she was assaulted, the
person familiar with the case told The
Associated Press.
BALTIMORE
Guilty plea in bomb plot
A Maryland man pleaded guilty
Thursday to trying to detonate what he
thought was a car bomb outside a
military recruiting center in suburban
Baltimore, saying he was motivated by
what he saw as an American war on
Islam.
Antonio Martinez entered the plea to
the charge of attempting to use a weap-
on of mass destruction against federal
property. The plot to bomb the Armed
Forces Recruiting Center in Catonsville
in December 2010 was foiled by an FBI
sting.
The 22-year-old had also faced a
charge of trying to kill U.S. officers and
employees, but prosecutors agreed to
drop the second charge at sentencing.
The deal calls for a 25-year prison
term.
The U.S. citizen born who was born
abroad preferred to be called Muham-
mad Hussain after his conversion to
Islam and signed the plea using both
names.
Public records are unclear about
when Martinez, who was born to a
Nicaraguan father and an African-
American mother, moved to Maryland.

The face of protest in Poland
Lawmakers from the leftist Palikots
Movement cover their faces with
masks Thursday as they protest
against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade
Agreement during a parliament ses-
sion in Warsaw, Poland, after the Pol-
ish government signed the agree-
ment. Polands plans to sign ACTA
sparked attacks on Polish government
websites and street protests in several
Polish cities this week.
CAIRO Egypt banned at least 10
Americans and Europeans fromleaving
the country, including the son of U.S.
Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood,
hiking tensions with Washington over a
campaign by Egypts military against
groups promoting democracy and hu-
man rights.
The United States warned Thursday
that the campaign raised concerns
about Egypts transition to democracy
and could jeopardize American aid that
Egypts battered economy needs badly
after a year of unrest.
The travel ban was part of an Egyp-
tian criminal investigation into foreign-
funded democracy organizations after
soldiers raided the offices of 10 such
groups last month, including those of
two American groups.
The investigation is closely inter-
twined with Egypts political turmoil
since the fall of Hosni Mubarak nearly a
year ago. The generals who took power
have accused foreign hands of being
behind protests against their rule and
they frequently depict the protesters
themselves as receivingforeignfunds in
a plot to destabilize the country.
Egyptian opponents of the military
say the generals are trying to smear the
protesters in the eyes of the public and
silence organizations they fear will un-
dermine their managing of the country.
Also startling is the militarys willing-
ness to clash with its longtime top ally,
the UnitedStates, over the issue, partic-
ularly since the army itself receives
more than $1 billion a year from Wash-
ington. The December raids brought
sharp U.S. criticism, and last week Pres-
ident Barack Obama spoke by tele-
phone with Egyptian military chief
Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi to em-
phasize the role that these organiza-
tions can play in civil society, accord-
ing to State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland on Thursday.
The ban became public after SamLa-
Hood, Egypt director of the Washing-
ton-based International Republican In-
stitute, went to Cairos airport Saturday
to catch a flight and was told by an im-
migration official that he couldnt leave.
I asked her why I was denied, she
said she didnt know. I asked how to fix
it, and she said she didnt know, said
LaHood, 36.

WASHINGTON Pentagon
leaders outlined a plan Thursday
for absorbing $487 billion in de-
fensecuts over thecomingdecade
by shrinking U.S. ground forces,
slowing the purchase of a next-
generation stealth fighter and re-
tiring older planes and ships.
In a bid to pre-empt election-
year Republican criticism, De-
fense Secretary Leon Panetta said
the plan shifts the Pentagons fo-
cus from the
wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan to
future challeng-
es in Asia, the
Mideast and in
cyberspace.
More special
operations
forces like the
Navy SEALs who killed Osama
binLadenwill be available around
the world, he said.
We believe this is a balanced
and complete package, Panetta
told a news conference, with Ar-
my Gen. Martin Dempsey, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at
his side.
Some lawmakers were quick to
dispute him.
Taking us back to a pre-9/11
military force structure places our
country in grave danger, said
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a
member of the Senate ArmedSer-
vices Committee that will hold
hearings on the Pentagon budget
plan.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said
the Panetta plan ignores the les-
sons of history. He said it pro-
vides for a military that is too
small to respond effectively to
events that may unfold over the
next fewyears.
Dempsey, however, said the
militaryis unitedinits support for
the newapproach.
This budget is afirst stepits
a down payment as we transi-
tion from an emphasis on todays
wars to preparing for future chal-
lenges, he said, adding, This
budget does not lead to a military
in decline.
Panetta announced that the ad-
ministration will request a 2013
budget of $525 billion, plus anoth-
er $88 billion for operations in Af-
ghanistan. Combined, those to-
tals are about $33 billion less than
the Pentagon is spending this
year.
Panetta said, however, that the
Pentagons base budget will grow
to $567 billion in 2017.

MOGADISHU, Somalia
A group holding an American
hostage in Somalia moved
him at least three times in the
day since U.S. Navy SEALs
rescued an American and a
Dane and killed their nine kid-
nappers, pirates said Thurs-
day. The abductors said they
would kill the hostage if they
are attacked.
The high-profile rescue
early Wednesday raised ques-
tions about whether the many
other Western hostages held
in Somalia have a greater
chance at release or are in
greater danger.
If they try again we will all
die all together, warned Has-
san Abdi, a Somali pirate con-
nectedtothe gangholdingthe
American. Its difficult to
hold U.S. hostages, because
its agameof chance: dieor get
huge money. But we shall
stick with our plans and will
never release himuntil we get
a ransom.
U.S. Navy SEALs parachut-
ed into Somalia early Wednes-
day and hiked to where cap-
tors were holding American
Jessica Buchanan, 32, and
Poul Hagen Thisted, a 60-
year-old Dane. A shootout en-
sued and nine captors were
killed. Buchanan, Thisted and
the U.S. troops were all un-
harmed. The two aid workers
had been kidnapped by gun-
meninOctober whileworking
on demining projects for the
Danish Refugee Council.
Buchanan and Thisted on
Thursday were at the U.S. Na-
val Air Base at Sigonella, Sici-
lyas part of their reintegration
process, undergoing more
complete medical examin-
ations and debriefing. Offi-
cials could not immediately
say how long they would stay
there before returning home.
The U.S. government said
the raid was prompted by Bu-
chanans deteriorating health.
An ailing Frenchwoman kid-
napped by Somali gunmen
died in captivity last year after
not having access to her medi-
cation.
Holding hostages in one
place is unlikely now because
we are the next target, Abdi
said, referring to the raid.

ATLANTA Lottery officials say a
woman from suburban Atlanta has
claimed the $72 million Mega Millions
jackpot.
Officials said that 33-year-old Marcia
Adams from College Park turned in her
winning ticket at the lotterys Atlanta
headquarters Thursday. Adams selected
the cash option, which gave her $52 mil-
lion.
Adams said she discovered she had
won on her way to work Thursday when
her boyfriend checked the results of
Tuesdays drawing on his cellphone.
Adams said she almost lost my mind
when she heard the news.
She said she and her boyfriend plan to
get married and buy a house with the
money. The accountant said she plans to
keep working.
The winning numbers in the multi-
state lottery were 10-22-24-36-49 and the

SWOYERSVILLE When de-
ciding to run for Congress, Ted
Gumina considered the knocks
against him.
The 34-year-old Democrat has
neither run for nor held political
office. He has no campaign man-
ager or staff, little money and
needs 1,000 signatures to get on
the ballot to challenge Wilkes-
Barre attorney William Vinsko in
the May primary for the seat in
the 11th Congressional District.
But compared to what he and
his family have been through,
hes confident those challenges
can be met to
unseat U.S.
Rep. Lou Bar-
letta, R-Hazle-
ton, in Novem-
ber.
Gumina an-
nounced his candidacy Thursday
night at the dinner table of his
Slocum Street home, while his
wife Natalie and their 2-year-old
daughter Violet and son Leo, 4,
played in the basement.
Weve come to the conclusion
that the only way that people of
the middle class are goingtohave
an opportunity to actually make
an impact is if people from the
middleclass takeaction, hesaid.
The family still struggles to re-
cover from the economic crisis
that put him among the unem-
ployed for a while and it relies on
food stamps to put meals on that
table. Neither Gumina nor his
wifehas healthcarecoverage, but
their children are covered under
the states Childrens Health In-
surance Program.
Weve hadtobuckle down. We
went from solid middle class to
like low middle, he said.
Gumina has returned to the
work force, handling logistics for
Blackstone Healthcare LLC in
Wilkes-Barre and has been at-
tending classes one night a week
for four hours at Misericordia
Universitytoearna degree insec-
ondary education in history.
Knowing how hard it was to
find work, Gumina said job cre-
ationis the mainissue inthe cam-
paign.
There has to be a discussion
between us, the people providing
the government, and corporate
America, he said.
I amall for companies making
money, but there comes a moral
point where we needtostandand
say, OK, at what point is enough
enough?
Acknowledging he sounds like
one of the Occupy Wall Street
protesters, Gumina said some-
times their message is a little
muddled.
His, on the other hand, is clear.
Hes not looking to get elected
just toget a better-payingjob, fed-
eral health care or the perks that
come with the office.
Im looking to run because I
knowI cando this job for the peo-
ple, he said. I am one of them.

Jones said he hopes that by
reaching out to the public hell
find an individual or business
willing to donate space to store
the toys.
Any (funding) we have is for

said. We cant spend money on

WILKES-BARRE A city
woman who was involved in a
string of thefts since Novem-
ber 2010 to support a drug hab-
it was sentenced Thursday to
four years in the countys Inter-
mediate Punishment Program.
Debra Ann Spry, 46, of Hill
Street, was sentenced by Lu-
zerne County Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley on five theft-relat-
ed charges and one count of
criminal use of a communica-
tion facility.
The judge said Spry must
serve the first two years of her
sentence in the Restrictive In-
termediate Punishment pro-
gramand is to participate in in-
patient care for drug abuse.
Spry saidThursday she com-
mitted the crimes because of
her dependencyondrugs, lead-
ing Polachek Gartley to sen-
tence her to programs that
would help her recover and
get her life back.
Polachek Gartley said that,
after completing inpatient
treatment, Spry will then be
moved to a halfway house,
where she will be able to con-
tinue counseling services.
Spry received 92 days credit
for time already served and
must complete 30 hours of
community service.
on Nov. 12, 2010, police were
called to Kmart in Wilkes-
Barre Township, where a loss
prevention officer said a wom-
an, later identified as Spry, at-
tempted to take five pairs of
jeans.
On Jan. 19, 2011, police said
they responded to the Kohls
department store in Wilkes-
Barre Township, where Spry
triedtosteal a $200 waterproof
jacket.
Three months later, on April
7, police were dispatched to
the Turkey Hill on Carey Ave-
nue in Wilkes-Barre for the re-
port of Spry leaving the store
with two bags full of items. Po-
lice said Spry was in posses-
sion of a hypodermic needle.
Spry said she had taken Klo-
nopin, a drug used to control
seizures in epilepsy and for the
treatment of panic disorder,
and police said she had trouble
answering questions and keep-
ing her eyes open.
The following month, police
said, Spry anda confidential in-
formant arranged the purchase
of $140 of heroin in a recorded
conversation.
InJune, police were calledto
the Rite Aid on East North-
ampton Street in Wilkes-Barre
for the report of a woman try-
ing to take a bag of over-the-
counter pharmaceuticals and
makeup.
Police said Spry was later
questioned about the attempt-
ed theft and said she didnt
take anything from there.
Lastly, on Nov. 8, Wilkes-
Barre Township police said
Spry tried to take $266 in mer-
chandise from the Walmart.

MERCED, Calif. When you
think of the final 400-foot ascent
of the Yosemite Valleys Half
Dome Trail, what words come to
mind? Majestic? Breathtak-
ing? Crowded?
How about expensive?
Last year, visitors paidas much
as $100 to hike the famous trail.
Over the past two years, to ad-
dress dangerously overcrowded
conditions, parkofficials have cut
in half the daily number of Half
Dome hikers by instituting an ad-
vance-sales permitting process.
After officials capped Half
Dome hikes at 400 people a day,
some abusedthe systemby scalp-
ing the $4.50 tickets.
This year, the permitting proc-
ess will continue with a few
changes to curb the resale of tick-
ets.
To help make the system fair
and to limit scalping, we are im-
plementing the lottery system,
said Kari Cobb, park spokeswo-
man. "So everyone puts in at one
time, and then in April we send
notification to tell people if they
were successful."
Starting in March, people will
be able to throw their name
and an application for up to six
guests in the digital hat for a
nonrefundable fee of $4.50 online
and $6.50 over the phone. If se-
lected, a$5feeis chargedfor each
person in the group. The per-per-
son fee is refundable if the trip is
canceled two days in advance.
Under the new rules, the "trip
leader" cant sell or give his ticket
to anyone else.
Usingasmartphone, parkrang-
ers, stationed at Subdome, will
check a trip leaders ID and the
approved number of guests he
has before allowing a group to
proceed up the rock.
Rick Deutsch, Yosemite enthu-
siast and author of the "Mr. Half
Dome" blog, has been following
these issues closely. Last year, to
his frustration, his moniker was
used by at least one scalper.
He said he approves of the lot-
tery system but hopes park offi-
cials will continue to work out
the details. "Its hard to assume a
party of six is all going to hold
hands and show their permits at
Subdome," he said. "Some peo-
ple are going to rest more. And
other people are going to want to
go faster."
A limited number of permits
will be available on short notice
throughanonline applicationlot-
tery, which will grant same-day
results two days in advance of the
hiking date.
Hikers applying for backcoun-
try wilderness permits also can
stipulate they would like to in-
clude the Half Dome hike on
their trip. Up to a quarter of the
total day-passes will be reserved
for these multiday backpackers.
You have to have an itinerary
that reasonably includes Half
Dome, Cobb said. And our wil-
derness ranger will look over the
application and determine
whether a permit is appropriate
for the hiking itinerary.
In coming years, competition
for permits could get even steep-
er.
Recently, park officials re-
leased for public review an envi-
ronmental analysis of the effects
of allowing various numbers of
daily hikers on the Half Dome
trail.
Park officials endorsed a draft
proposal to reduce the number of
visitors to 300 per day, stating on
the parks website that the stric-
ter limit provides the optimum
visitor experience while protect-
ing wilderness character along
the trail.
However, officials are consid-
ering several options, including
the current cap of 400 people a
day, Cobb said. The Half Dome
hike is the most popular hike in
the park, she said. Because of
its popularity, weve seen cases of
concern for safety. By imple-
menting a permitting program,
we not only are providing for the
safetyof our visitors, but alsopro-
viding a genuine wilderness ex-
perience.

Yosemite Half Dome Trail Stew-
ardship Plan ends March 15.

BELLEFONTE A busi-

The Second Mile, a charity
founded by the former assistant
football coach at the center of
the Penn State sex abuse scan-
dal, saying he wants $250,000
returned because the project it
was donated for is no longer
planned.
Former board member Lance
Shaner andhis wife suedinCen-
tre County Court this week.
They say they want the money
back now that the recreation
center it was to go toward wont
be built.
The charity was founded by
former Penn State assistant Jer-
ry Sandusky, who is accused of
sexually abusing 10 boys. Au-
thorities say he met them
throughthe charity. He says hes
innocent.
The charity said Thursday it
will review the lawsuit and re-
spondappropriately whenit has
done so.
The lawsuit was first reported
by The Patriot-News of Harris-
burg.

HARRISBURG A Roman
Catholic bishop in Pennsylvania
is drawing criticismfor compar-
ing the public school system to
those under Adolf Hitler and
Benito Mussolini.
Harrisburg Bishop Joseph
McFadden said in an interview
last week with WHTM-TV that
totalitarian governments
would love our system of edu-
cation. He said Hitler and Mus-
solini also tried to set up sys-
tems that would educate chil-
dren in one set of beliefs and
one way of doing things.
McFadden told The Patriot-
News in an email Wednesday he
didnt mean to offend. He said
he was makinga dramatic illus-
tration of how public schools
curtail parental choice during
an interview about school
vouchers.
The American Civil Liberties
Union of Pennsylvania is calling
McFaddens comments inappro-
priate. Legislative director An-
dy Hoover noted the control of
public schools is a democratic
process.

Two Pennsylvania-based non-
profits are warning of the threat
nuclear power poses todrinking
water in light of the ongoing nu-
clear crisis in Japan.
The Pennsylvania Public In-
terest Research Group Educa-
tion Fund and PennEnviron-
ment Research & Policy Center
in a study released Tuesday said
49 million Americans, among
them 6.7 million Pennsylvania
residents, drink water sourced
from within 50 miles of a nucle-
ar power plant.
After the March 11
tsunami, the crippled
Fukushima Daiichi re-
actor released hun-
dreds of times the legal
limit of radioactive iso-
topes into the sea.
The Japanese gov-
ernment required resi-
dents within12.4miles
of the plant to evac-
uate, and encouraged
residents within 18.6
miles to leave, while
the U.S. government
urged its citizens to leave areas
within 50 miles.
Drinking water sources as far
as 130 miles fromthe plant were
found to be contaminated with
radioactive iodine, according to
the study.
The study authors believe the
drinking water of thousands of
Americans could be jeopardized
by an accident, and may already
have been affected on a smaller
scale by releases of tritium, a ra-
dioactive form of hydrogen.
A June report by The Associ-
ated Press found that tritium,
which can cause cancer and
raise the risk of birth defects if
consumed regularly, has leaked
from at least 48 of 65 American
nuclear sites examined.
The PennPIRG study found
that 59 Americannuclear power
plants are located within 50
miles of a reservoir or other site
where surface water is with-
drawn for consumption. Ac-
cording to the study, 848,626
people drink surface water from
within 50 miles of PPLs nuclear
plant in Salem Township, about
17 miles from Wilkes-Barre.
Joseph Scopelliti, spokesman
for the Salem Township plant,
said a groundwater monitoring
system in place at the plant for
30years has never detectedtriti-
um above normally occurring
background levels, and that the
plant has stepped up its
monitoring since The
Associated Press raised
the tritium issue.
All water taken into
the plant and dis-
charged is monitored to
comply with regulatory
standards, Scopelliti
said.
We want to have safe
operation of the plant,
Scopelliti said. We
look at our self as a vital
part of the community
and public safety is a priority for
us, so we want to do everything
to make sure we can operate as
safely as we can, and this water
quality monitoring system is
part of that.
The study authors contend
that inherent risks of nuclear
power should compel the feder-
al government to retire existing
plants at the endof their current
operating licenses at latest,
abandon plans for new nuclear
power plants and adopt policies
to expand energy efficiency and
production from renewable
sources.
In the meantime, the United
States should take policy steps
reduce the risks nuclear power
poses to water supplies, the
study states.

WILKES-BARRE A large
amount of rawheroinandcocaine
including several guns with am-
munition were seized in a coop-
erative undercover drug investi-
gationbycitypolice, Plains Town-
ship police and the state Attorney
Generals Office.
The arrests of three people and
the drug and gun seizures were
announced at a Thursday after-
noon news conference inside
Wilkes-Barre Police Headquar-
ters.
One of the men charged, Ray-
mond Davis, 30, continued to
peddle illegal narcotics after he
was convicted in November in an
unrelated drug case, an undercov-
er drug officer said.
Officials saidLeonEdwardBer-
ry, 40, of Wilkes-Barre, andAntho-
ny Davis, age and address un-
known, were charged in the
sweep.
Mayor Tom Leighton said the
charges are the result of a year-
long investigation.
The drug task force had been
conducting an investigation into
the trafficking of massive quanti-
ties of cocaine and heroin
throughout thecityandsurround-
ing communities, Leighton said
from a prepared statement. The
three individuals were identified
as associates from Long Island,
N.Y., who were conspiring to dis-
tribute controlled substances
throughout the Wyoming Valley.
Leighton and Police Chief Ge-
rard Dessoye said the heroin, co-
caine, ecstasy and oxycodone
with a street value in excess of
$60,000 were seized, along with
$15,000 cash.
I want to thank the Wilkes-
Barre city narcotics unit and
Plains Township police and the
Attorney General Drug Task
Force with the excellent job they
have done, said Luzerne County
District Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis. This is why I ran for dis-
trict attorney to see that all de-
partments work together to fight
crime in Luzerne County.
This is pure heroin and pure
cocaine, which is very rarely
seen, First Assistant District At-
torney Sam Sanguedolce said. It
hasnt been cut. Its 100 percent
pure.
Raymond Davis was arrested
by state police vice and narcotic
troopers in June 2010 on charges
he was peddling heroin and co-
caine froma residence on Dough-
er Lane in Wilkes-Barre, accord-
ing to court records.
Court records indicate a Lu-
zerne County jury on Nov. 18 con-
victed Raymond Davis on several
drug offenses. He was released on
Nov. 23 after posting $100,000
bail and was required to wear an
electronic ankle bracelet.
Raymond Davis continued to
traffic andsell illegal drugs, anun-
dercover officer said, until he was
sentenced on Jan. 18 to five to 10
years in state prison.

April 2011
LAS VEGAS Declaring the
United States the Saudi Arabia
of natural gas, President Barack
Obama began pushing Thursday
for greater use of the fuel re-
source under domestic soil as he
pitched his economic plan on a
tour of two battleground states.
Speaking to a crowd of United
Parcel Service workers at a facil-
ity here, Obama said the govern-
ment shouldencourage U.S. ship-
ping companies and other large
users to reduce reliance on for-
eign oil to power their fleets.
Tapping natural gas sources in
the U.S. could power our cars
and our homes and our factories
in a cleaner and cheaper way,
Obama said. We, it turns out, are
the Saudi Arabia of natural gas.
Weve got a lot of it.
The president rolled out a plan
that offers tax incentives for com-
panies that buy natural gas-pow-
ered trucks. He promoted the
idea ina visit toa UPShub, where
company officials were, he said,
among the first to respond to his
call for increased use of natural
gas vehicles.
Even with the additional oil
production, Obama told the
crowd, Weonlyhaveabout 2per-
cent of theworlds oil reserves. So
weve got tohave anall-out, all-in,
all-of-the-above strategy that de-
velops every source of American
energy.
Obama made his remarks as
part of a five-state tour to pro-
mote the economic blueprint he
unveiled in his State of the Union
address on Tuesday. He is selling
his energy strategy as an all of
the above approach that he says
would promote the use of domes-
tic sources. After visiting Iowa
and Arizona on Wednesday, the
second day of the tour took him
to Nevada andColorado. By days
end he was scheduled to travel to
another battleground state, Mi-
chigan.
Obama is promoting incen-
tives as one of several proposed
changes to the tax code. The
changes would require the ap-
proval of Congress, including the
GOP-controlled House, which
most observers feel is unlikely to
support major initiatives from
the president in an election year.
But the presidents teambelieves
it will be difficult for Republicans
to reject proposals that prove
popular with the public, or at
least that opponents could pay a
political price in November.
Some industry advocates ar-
gue that the Obama administra-
tion hasnt put a high enough pri-
ority on expediting fuel projects.
Obama recently delayed the con-
troversial Keystone XL project
while developers come up with
an alternative route around envi-
ronmentally sensitive areas.
The presidents own jobs coun-
cil recommendeda week ago that
the government act quickly on
energy projects in the interests of
encouraging more of them. Re-
publicans complained this week
that Obama didnt address Keys-
tone in his State of the Union ad-
dress.
On Thursday, Obama an-
nounced that his Interior Depart-
ment is preparing to open up 38
million acres in the Gulf of Mex-
ico for more exploration and de-
velopment. The lease sale is the
final one scheduled as part of a
five-year plan for drilling in the
central gulf. Aides say drilling in
the gulf is rebounding healthily
since the BP oil spill in April
2010.
Some industry advocates have
suggested the administration is
holding back offshore drilling by
taking its time reviewing permit
applications.

A Hazleton attorney is tak-
ing the fight outside the cour-
troom.
John P. Rodgers, an attor-
ney at Caverly, Shea, Phillips
and Rodgers LLC is in the
early stages of an election
process that he hopes will se-
cure him one of three alumni
seats on the Penn State Board
of Trustees in the May elec-
tion.
The board has come under
scrutiny in recent weeks fol-
lowing the fallout from the
Jerry Sandusky child-sex scan-
dal that saw the dismissal of
several prominent university
officials, including head foot-
ball coach Joe Paterno, who
died Sunday.
Rodgers called the high-
light of their mismanage-
ment the boards firing of Pa-
terno just 12 days after he be-
came the winningest coach in
Division I football history.
That didnt sit well with
many former players and
alumni, including Rodgers.
They sent the wrong sig-
nal, he said.
They sacrificed coach Pa-
terno to get rid of the media
scrutiny and cover them-
selves.
If elected, Rodgers says, he
would entertain a motion that
would rename Beaver Stadi-
um Joe Paterno Stadium.
Calling Paternos death tru-
ly upsetting, Rodgers also
said he will seek to posthu-
mously rescind the boards rul-
ing that fired Paterno and in-
stead grant the late coach re-
tirement.
Rodgers said he is seeking a
spot on the board to restore
transparency to the university.
Theyve mismanaged the
university for years, he said,
adding they operate more
like a corporation than a uni-
versity.
The 32-member Board of
Trustees includes nine alumni
seats.
Of those, three become
available each year and are
voted on by the alumni during
spring commencement.
The three candidates receiv-
ing the most votes are elected
to three-year terms.
Im a candidate that will
represent the true-blue Penn
Stater, Rodgers said, citing
his love for the university, his
credibility and his perspective
as qualities that will separate
him from current board mem-
bers.
A lifetime member of the
Penn State Alumni Associ-
ation, Rodgers is a dual-gradu-
ate of the university, with an
undergraduate degree in eco-
nomics and a juris doctorate
from the universitys Dickin-
son School of Law.
He has practiced locally in
several areas of law including
real estate, commercial and
civil litigation since 1997.
He also is head of Northeast
Revenue Service LLC, Lu-
zerne Countys tax-claim oper-
ator.

WILKES-BARREStanley Da-
vis Jr. had a choice to either leave
the apartment or pull the trigger
of a sawed-off shotgun, a Luzerne
County prosecutor said.
Assistant District AttorneyJar-
rett Ferentino alleged Davis, 45,
fired the shotgun that killed his
girlfriend, Carlotta Springer-Ho-
ward, inside their Sterling Street
residence in Wilkes-Barre on
Dec. 16.
The defendant had an oppor-
tunity to walk out the door; he
didnt, Ferentino said.
After an hour of testimony at
Davis preliminary hearing on
Thursday, District Judge Rick
Cronauer determined prosecu-
tors establishedacaseagainst the
Virginian man, sending an open
count of criminal homicide and a
charge of illegal possession of a
firearm to Luzerne County
Court.
City police allege Davis and
Springer-Howard were arguing
before he picked up a shotgun
and fired the weapon in front of
her18-year-oldson, FredLassiter.
Her two younger children also
were in the apartment.
Davis was captured by police
when he was stopped driving a
van on Academy Street minutes
after the shooting.
Springer-Howard died at
Acting County Coroner Bill Lis-
mansaidthe cause was a gunshot
wound to the chest.
Lassiter, now residing in New-
port News, Va., testified his
mother and Davis were arguing
for several hours about her mak-
ing phone calls to another man.
At one point during the argu-
ment, Lassiter said Davis left the
apartment but later returned.
Lassiter said he was sitting
next to his mother on a couch
when she leaned toward himand
said, If anything happens to me,
everything in this house goes to
you.
The argument continued in a
second-floor bedroom, where
Lassiter saidhis mother toldhim,
You know what he got, refer-
ring to a sawed-off shotgun.
City police Detective Ralph El-
ick said Davis admitted to the
shooting, givingfour different de-
scriptions of how it happened.
Elick testified Davis initially
claimed he blacked out and did
not remember the shooting, but
changed his story, saying the
shotgun fired when he picked it
up. Davis also claimed he meant
to shoot at a wall and only fired
theshotguntoscareSpringer-Ho-
ward, Elick said.
Davis lawyer, William Ruzzo,
asked that first- and second-de-
gree murder charges be dismis-
sed, citing the absence of pre-
meditation and no other felony
committed.
Ferentinocounteredthat Davis
held the shotgun for several min-
utes and had an opportunity to
put the weapon down and leave
the apartment.
A conviction of first- and sec-
ond-degree murder can lead to
lifeinprison, whileathird-degree
murder conviction can carry a
prison sentence of 20 to 40 years.
Davis remains jailed at the
county prison without bail.

The authority is currently installing
similar pipelines and drains in Berwick in
a companion project, also funded through
PennVEST. It plans to advertise and bid
this project in the spring.
The authority will have 20 years to pay
back the loan on a fixed-payment schedule
with a variable interest rate. It will accrue
1.007 percent interest over the first five
years. The rate will then increase to 2.013
percent in the final 15 years, according to
PennVEST.
PennVEST also announced funding for
22 other drinking water and wastewater
projects in 19 counties Tuesday, totaling
$71 million in low-interest loans and $27
million in grants.
The Berwick Area Joint Sanitary Au-
thority will receive a $5.3 million state
loan to update storm water drainage sys-
tems and prevent sewage discharges into
the Susquehanna River.
The low-interest loan was part of a $28
million package of grants and loans for wa-
ter-infrastructure projects announced
Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Infrastruc-
ture Investment Authority.
The sanitary authority, which serves
five municipalities in Columbia and Lu-
zerne counties including Berwick and Sa-
lem Township, plans to install approxi-
matelytwomiles of stormwater collection
piping and 151 storm water manholes and
inlet structures, capping off a storm-water
project that has been planned and imple-
mented over a decade.
The project will separate the sewer lines
feeding into the authority treatment plant
from storm water drainage pipes. Older
storm drains drain into the sewage lines
when they become overloaded fromheavy
rainfall. This can force untreated sewage
intotheriver. Numerous direct sewagedis-
charges into the river led the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Protection in 2001
torequiretheauthoritytoseparatethesys-
tems, according to funding application
documents.
State Sen. John Gordner, who aided the
authority in securing the funding, said
completing the drains shouldbring the au-
thority into compliance with environmen-
tal regulations, including federal initia-
tives protecting water quality in the Che-
sapeake Bay.
It also helps during flooding and flash
flooding, Gordner said. This area is so
prone to flash floods, and even flash flood-
ing would create problems for the system,
which would create sewage overflow into
the river.

Money will be used in storm water
project designed to prevent sewage
from getting into the river.

SCRANTONALuzerneCoun-
ty man who sued state police after
he was denied employment for re-
fusingtohaveatattooremovedhas
appealed a federal judges ruling
that dismissed the case.
Ronald Scavone filed a federal
lawsuit in2009after hewas turned
down for a job in the Liquor Con-
trol Enforcement divisionbasedon
atattooof ajester that was onhis
upper arm.
State police have a policy that
states tattoos must be reviewed
and approved by a committee be-
foreanapplicant is offeredemploy-
ment.
Scavones suit, filed by attorney
Cynthia Pollick of Pitt-
ston, said Scavone in-
quired about having the
tattoo removed, but was
told by medical profes-
sionals that it was impos-
sible to completely re-
move it.
The lawsuit claimed
state police violated
Scavones right to free
speech by retaliating
against him by refusing
to hire him because he
spokeout against thepol-
icy.
He also claimed his
rights todueprocess wereviolated
because he was treated differently
thanother applicants whoalsohad
tattoos but were hired.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo dismissed the case in De-
cember. Caputo agreed Scavones
questioning of the tattoo policy
wasconstitutionallyprotected, but
determined there was no
causal link between his
speech and the denial of
his employment.
Caputo noted Scavone
was first informed in June
2008that he wouldnot be
considered for employ-
ment because of the tat-
too. He did not question
the policy until several
months after state police
made that determination,
Caputo said.
The court fails to see
howthe PSPs decision to
deny Mr. Scavone em-
ployment for questioning the tat-
toopolicycouldbe conceptualized
as retaliatory when the decision
was madebeforehequestionedit,
Caputo said.
Caputo also denied Scavones
due process claim, sayingthe state
policehadshowntherewas aratio-
nal basis for its decisionbecause li-
quorcontrol officersoftenworkun-
dercover. Scavones jester tattoo
was so unique that it would make
him readily identifiable, Caputo
said.

peals last week.

Help put end to bullying
by helping out victims
N
ever have I been so abhorred with
bullying. It is a form of aggressive
behavior that is hurtful to any child
who experiences it. No person should ever
feel as if he is trapped or that he is unable
to talk to someone.
Many times I wonder how one person
can have the ability to mistreat another
human being through bullying. What gives
him the right? Why should he be allowed
to take out his anger on someone who is
clearly helpless?
There are kids all over the world who
experience physical bullying, verbal bully-
ing and intimidation.
Diverse individuals who experience
bullying must find any way possible to end
it. One individual can change someones
life at any moment just be speaking out
and providing help when needed.
So why not be that person who makes a
righteous choice today by speaking out
against bullying?

Writer: Court attempting
to intimidate new council
I
would like to comment on Judge Tho-
mas Burkes position (County council
must ensure that court system is ade-
quately funded, Jan. 22) on the Luzerne
County budget.
First, we did not hear from the judiciary
when all the spending was taking place
from the previous government, as he
stated in his commentary.
Second, and I quote from the news arti-
cle titled Confronting tough choices that
appeared on Jan. 18, All county managers
were advised to attend Tuesdays work
session, and (county interim manager
Tom) Pribula and council members ob-
served the absence of court branches.
Also from that article, Chief Public De-
fender Al Flora advised council and Pribula
to encourage judges to address problems
with the court scheduling to prevent un-
necessary delays and continuances, saying
the current system is dysfunctional.
Judge Burke said the law states that
county government must meet the rea-
sonable necessity standard with respect
to funding the courts.
In my heart, my reasonable necessity
standard is to own a new BMW; however,
the reasonable necessity standard of my
wallet says I should own an 8-year-old
Chevy. A reasonable necessity is one that
you can afford, not one that you want.
Finally, Judge Burke said that unless
council takes prompt action regarding his
demands the court will have little re-
course but to pursue a legal remedy. For
those of us who drive 8-year-old Chevys,
that means Judge Burke will sue to get his
money, and we will pay more in taxes.
I encourage the new council not to be
intimidated by the judiciary and to hold
the line on the budget.

Casey says hes working
to keep payroll tax cut
T
his week I took part in the Payroll Tax
Cut Conference Committees first
meeting, as we began our work to
reach agreement on an employee payroll
tax cut for all of 2012.
Before the holidays, the payroll tax cut,
which had been set to expire at the end of
December, was extended for two months
through February. This extension prevent-
ed a tax increase on 6.7 million workers in
Pennsylvania and provided some good
news for families going into Christmas.
The payroll tax cut reduces employees
share of the Social Security payroll tax
from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of earnings.
For the average Pennsylvania family, this
tax cut will boost take-home pay by nearly
$1,000 in 2012.
The additional money in workers wal-
lets and pocketbooks will help families buy
gas, make car payments, pay for housing
and put food on the table. The increased
consumer spending will help sustain the
economic recovery.
According to an independent analysis,
there would be 19,700 fewer jobs in Penn-
sylvania in 2012 without the payroll tax
cut. With almost half a million Pennsylva-
nians out of work, we cannot afford this hit
to our economy.
The conference committee is comprised
of 20 members of Congress four Senate
Democrats, three Senate Republicans, five
House Democrats and eight House Repub-
licans. As the chairman of the Joint Eco-
nomic Committee and author of the Mid-
dle Class Tax Cut Act, I was appointed to
be a Senate conferee.
The task before us is to reach an agree-
ment before the end of February to make
certain that this money stays in the pock-
ets of middle-class Americans.
I initially proposed that these cuts be
paid for by a modest surtax on annual
income exceeding a million dollars be-
cause I believe that is a fair and reasonable
way to make sure we extend these middle-
class cuts without adding to our debt. I
believe it also makes great economic
sense. However, I am open to other ideas.
The key is that we get this done.
The conference committee also will take
up the issue of how to continue unemploy-
ment insurance for those workers who
have been out of work for more than six
months.
Some say that Washington only focuses
when its up against a deadline. Well, we
have until the end of February to figure
this out. Im confident we will.

Candidates should name
cumbersome regulations
S
undays edition of The Times Leader
included an article about two Repub-
licans who want to run for state repre-
sentative. Rick Arnold wants Rep. Gerald
Mullerys job, and Pete Mailloux wants to
unseat Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski.
Mr. Arnold says hed work to lower
Pennsylvanias corporate tax rate; both
men want to reduce cumbersome regu-
lation of business.
Pennsylvania has a pretty high corporate
tax rate compared to most other states and
perhaps it could be trimmed, though its
something that should be thought out very
carefully. But red flags appear when I see
those words cumbersome regulations.
Americas banking system almost melted
down because of bank deregulation, and
Appalachias landscape is being destroyed,
now, by the coal companies that are blow-
ing off the tops of mountains for the easy
coal underneath, seemingly unhindered by
the few regulations still enforced. In Penn-
sylvania, because of Marcellus Shale nat-
ural gas drilling, roads are being ripped up,
accidents at drilling pads seem to be com-
mon, and we might yet find that drilling is
contaminating drinking water in some
cases.
Regulations are enacted to protect peo-
ple and the environment. Yes, they can be
burdensome to business. Black lung dis-
ease was pretty burdensome to the miners
who suffered with it until they died. Asth-
ma aggravated by air pollution is burden-
some, as is the sight of dead fish floating
down the river because of industrial pollu-
tion.
It would be really nice if those people
running for office would be very specific
about the burdensome regulations theyd
like to get rid of. Please be specific and
open, candidates, about the regulations
you feel should be discarded and the rea-
sons why.
It would help us make the choices we
need to consider on Election Day.

HERE IS CAUSE for
optimism, albeit cau-
tious, for U.S. automak-
ers.
Chrysler Group LLC, General
Motors and Ford Motor Co. all
made money in 2011, for the first
time in seven years, helped by
big cuts in labor costs. Chrysler,
which had been the most trou-
bleddomestic automaker, repaid
the federal loans that helped it
survive the recession.
Each of the three boosted its
share of the U.S. light-vehicle
market last year. After years of
cutbacks and layoffs, the revital-
ized companies are hiring again.
Industry analysts predict a sales
increase of more than 6 percent
this year.
Evenastheindustrycontinues
to recover, the bad economy and
thegovernment-sponsoredbank-
ruptcies throughwhichChrysler
and GM have passed appear to
have chastened automakers.
The Detroit 3 insist they are
ready to compete aggressively
for small- andmid-sizedcars that
they largely abandoned to im-
port competitors for the past
generation.
U.S. taxpayers still own more
than one-fourth of GM stock.
The companys pension plan re-
mains badly underfunded. Its
stock price has yet to recover.
Still, the survival of GM, as
well as Chrysler, affirms the wis-
dom of the Obama and George
W. Bush administrations in bail-
ing out the automakers.
This sense that a historic turn-
aroundhasbeenaccomplishedis
palpable.

N E W S
Fifty years went by damn
fast, Mattioli said at the time,
while sitting in a wheelchair and
trying to speak above the roar of
the stock cars racing by just out-
side the infield media center.
Mattioli said age was a factor,
but so too was recognition that
his grandchildren had learned
the business and he felt comfort-
able handing the reins to them.
Mattioli has been good for
NASCAR, credited with intro-
ducing the sport to the North-
eastern United States and grow-
ing its popularity on Wall Street.
The first NASCAR race at Poco-
no was run in 1974, three years
after Indy cars made their debut
at the Long Pond race track. The
sport also was very good for Mat-
tioli.
We started here with $48 in
our account and weve built a
track with a net worth of $600
million, he said when announc-
ing his retirement.
Loss to community
State Rep. Mario Scavello, R-
Mount Pocono, who has known
Mattioli for 28 years, said the
loss to his family and the com-
munity is a big one.
He was a wealthy man but he
was very kind and very generous.
He was always there to help the
community, Scavello said.
Mattiolis generosity away
fromthe track has been notewor-
thy. His contributions in the re-
gion include $1 million for the
trauma center at Lehigh Valley
Hospital in Allentown, $1.5 mil-
lion to Pocono Medical Center
for the Mattioli Emergency
Wing, $1 million to East Strouds-
burg University and $1 million
for the downtown Stroudsburg
beautification project.
He and his wife, Rose, also pro-
vided annual scholarships to top
students at the four Monroe
County high schools.
Honored in Wyoming
On July 4, he and Rose were
honored at the commemoration
ceremonies of the Battle of
Wyoming at the Wyoming Monu-
ment in Wyoming. The Mattio-
lis, who were married for 63
years, donated $100,000 toward
the monument restoration pro-
ject after he heard about the
2009 lightning strike that caused
severe damage to the historic
marker.
Marcella Starr, president of
the Wyoming Monument Associ-
ation, remembers the day she
stood in the Mattiolis kitchen as
Doc and Rose signed the check
for $100,000 to restore the monu-
ment.
He and Mrs. Mattioli are the
saviors of the monument, Starr
said. There was no way we
would have been able to repair
the monument during such diffi-
cult economic times.
When told of Mattiolis pass-
ing, Starr said, What a loss.
What a loss of our community.
Carl Wilgus, president and
chief executive officer of the Po-
cono Mountains Visitors Bureau,
lamented the loss of a Pocono
icon.
Doc believed in the Pocono
Mountains brand and was truly
an advocate for bringing visitors
to the region. He embraced the
community, inspired so many
and philanthropically supported
the entire Pocono Mountains
and NASCAR communities. His
vision and legacy will live on.
In 2009, Mattioli received the
Philanthropic Lifetime Achieve-
ment Award presented by the As-
sociation of Fundraising Profes-
sionals for his contributions to
local civic organizations, hospi-
tals, schools and charities.
The entire NASCAR family is
saddened by the loss of a true
icon in our sport, Dr. Joe Mattio-
li, NASCAR Chairman Brian
France said in a statement.
Docs relationship with my fam-
ily reaches three generations, all
the way back to my grandfather.
His passion for the sport will live
on in the hearts of his family and
our fans.
His contributions to our sport
are widespread. We have lost a
great leader -- and a great person.
NASCAR offers its deepest con-
dolences to his wife, Rose, and
the entire Mattioli family.
Mattioli is survived by his
wife, Dr. Rose Mattioli, daugh-
ters, Louie and Michele, and son,
Joseph Mattioli III, seven grand-
children and three great-grand-
children.
In a feature story in The Times
Leader in July 2010, the Mattio-
lis were asked what they would
want people they have never met
to know about them.
Were just ordinary people,
Rose said. We like people and
we want to help where we can.
Life is so beautiful if you give it a
chance.
Service arrangements for Mat-
tioli were incomplete at press
time.

coach paid tribute to their for-
mer mentor before more than
12,000people at the schools Bryce

Their stories were joined by a
eulogy by the coachs son, Jay Pa-
terno, as well as scathing com-
ments by Nike co-founder and
Chairman Phil Knight toward
state and university administra-
tors in reference to the investiga-
tion into Jerry Sandusky.
Cefalo, astandout at PittstonAr-
ea, PennState andwiththe Miami
Dolphins in the NFL, said he was
honoredtospeakfor anentire dec-
ade of Lions players the 1970s.
Cefalo now hosts a morning news
show on WIOD-AM
in Miami.
Im 55, Cefalo
said. I met himwhen
I was 17. And he still
guides me.
In a speech of
about 13 minutes, Ce-
falo reflected on the
laughs and lessons he
had from Paterno,
pausing at one point
to jokingly ask for the
audiences forgive-
ness if he peeked be-
hind him while talk-
ing.
I was worriedthey
were going to put
Joes picture on the
screens hanging in the back-
ground, he said. And I never did
really well when he was looking
over my shoulder. I was always ve-
ry nervous.
Often, his messagedrewlaughs.
Cefalo talked about how Paterno
famously recruited mothers more
than he did players.
On that trip to his Pittston
home, Cefalo joked that Paterno
ignored him, instead remarking
that his mothers pasta was better
than that of Mrs. Cappelletti
the mother of Penn States 1973
Heisman Trophy winner John.
He spoke of how, in his final se-
mester at Penn State, after his
playing career was over, he inten-
tionally put in for a light class
schedule.
Paterno, he said, summoned
himtohis officeuponseeingit and
chastised him, saying that the
course load was beneath him.
When Paterno preached end-
lessly in practice
about hustle, Ce-
falo said, I only
came to realize lat-
er that he wasnt
talking about foot-
ball. Hustle (in life)
something good
will happen. Keep
going.
That, Cefalosaid,
was the impact Pa-
terno had on him
and the rest of the
state everything
he did off the field.
Hetookthesons
of coal miners, said
Cefalo, pausing to
control his emo-
tions. And he took the sons of
steel mill workers. And of farmers
in rural Pennsylvania. All with the
idea that we could come together
and we would do it the right way.
The Paterno way.
At the end of his speech, Cefalo
cited one of Paternos most well-
worn sayings that You always get
better or worse. Younever stay the
same.
I did today what I do every
day, Cefalo said. I asked myself,
Is today going to be better, or is it
going to be worse? And I answer-
ed, Its going to be a little bit
worse. Because of the sadness of
not having Joe here.
But theworldis awholelot bet-
ter for having known him.

ule. Paterno, he said,
summoned him to his
office upon seeing it

saying that the course
load was beneath

episode two months ago.
This much is clear to me: If
there is a villain in this tragedy, it
lies in that investigation and not
in Joe Paternos response,
Knight said. Paternos widow,
Sue, was among those rising to
their feet.
Later, Paternos son Jay re-
ceived a standing ovation when
he declared: Joe Paterno left
this world with a clear con-
science.
The ceremony at the universi-
ty basketball arena was filled
with lavish praise that probably
would have embarrassed Pater-
no, who died of lung cancer Sun-
day at 85 after racking up more
wins 409 than any other
major-college football coach and
leading his team to two national
championships in his 46 seasons.
He was saluted for his com-
mitment to sportsmanship, loy-
alty, teamwork, character, aca-
demics and winning with hon-
or. He was called a good father,
a good husband, a good neigh-
bor, a good friend, a good teach-
er.
Only one member of the uni-
versity administration dean of
the college of liberal arts and
no one from the Board of Trust-
ees spoke at the memorial, ar-
ranged primarily by the Paterno
family.
Among the speakers were star
athletes from each decade of Pa-
ternos career, including Michael
Robinson, who played from 2002
to 2005, quarterback Todd
Blackledge from the 1980s and
Jimmy Cefalo, a star in the
1970s.
All three went on to play in the
NFL.
Chris Marrone, whose playing
career at Penn State was cut
short by injuries, said Paterno
molded him into a young man
with the strength to overcome
any challenge, any adversity.
Paterno was fired by the trust-
ees Nov. 9 after he was criticized
for not going to police in 2002
when he was told that a former
member of his coaching staff,
Jerry Sandusky, had been seen
sexually assaulting a boy in the
showers at the football complex.
Sandusky was arrested in No-
vember and is awaiting trial on
charges he sexually assaulted 10
boys over a 15-year span.
As the scandal erupted, Penn-
sylvanias state police commis-
sioner said that Paterno may
have met his legal duty but not
his moral one to go to police.
Penn State president Graham
Spanier was also fired in the fal-
lout.
A public viewing for Paterno
was held on campus on Tuesday
and Wednesday, and he was bur-
ied Wednesday afternoon at a
State College cemetery.

He applauded as Federer start-

vestigation are, this much is
clear tome, Knight said. There
was a villain in this tragedy. It
lies in the investigation, not in
Joe Paternos response to it.
The Paterno-partisan crowd
rose to its feet and delivered the
loudest standing ovation at the
Bryce Jordan Center on a day
that featured at least a dozen of
them. Paterno was fired Nov. 9
by the schools board of trustees
in the wake of allegations of sex-
ual abuse of children by Sandus-
ky, his former defensive coordi-
nator.
The next week, Paterno was
diagnosed with lung cancer. He
died two months later.
Knight was not finished, going
on to praise Paterno and ask,
Who is the real trustee at this
university?
After the applause ended,
Knight recounted the grand jury
testimony that stated Paterno,

at an on-campus memorial for
Joe Paterno, the co-founder and
chairman of Nike delivered per-

lic defense of Paterno since his
firing in November.
Knight, a multi-billionaire and

his speech with colorful stories
about the former coach, who

Mattioli, the founder and chair-
manof PoconoRaceway, has died
following a lengthy illness, NAS-
CAR officials announced Thurs-
day duringa preseasonpress con-
ference at the NASCAR Hall of
Fame. He was 86.
Bob Pleban, the vice president
of administration at Pocono
Raceway, confirmed the news to
The Associated Press, saying
family members informed him
Mattioli passed away around 1
p.m. Thursday at Lehigh Valley
Hospital Center inAllentown. He
said Mattiolis family members
were gathered at his side at the
time of his death.
Mattioli, a dentist known as
Doc to friends and associates,
founded Pocono Raceway in the
early1960s andranthe speedway
for more than four decades with
his wife Rose. Under his leader-
ship, the track grew in stature
andhas hosted68very successful
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
events.
Mattioli and his wife, Rose, re-
tired last year, handing over con-
trol of Pocono Raceway to their
eldest three grandchildren.
His passing leaves a void in the
NASCAR community, according
to NASCAR CEO and Chairman
Brian France.
He was a friend from the very
beginning with my grandfather
and Im sad to hear the news,
France said. Im very close with
the Mattioli family. Obviously
our hearts goout tothem. He was
a great man and cared a lot about
this sport.
Added NASCAR president
Mike Helton: Doc was symbolic
of the passion of our sport. When
you say Pocono everybody has
their own different interpreta-
tion. But its certainly shows the
character andpassionandimpact
that Doc and Rose made on our
sport, and that is one that will be
forever engrained in that track.
Im sad to hear of his passing.

LEHMAN TOWNSHIP
After a back-and-forth three
quarters that saw Lake-
Lehman fight for a tight
lead over Nanticoke, the
Black Knights turned on
the defensive pressure
early in the fourth quarter,
held the Trojans to five
points andearneda 50-37 win
at home in Wyoming Valley
Conference Division III contest.
Nikki Sutliff, who finished
with a team-high 17 points,
quickly turned the momen-
tum in Lake-Leh-
mans favor Thurs-
day night.
The senior
guard drilled a
deep three-
point shot to
break a tie, cre-
ated a turnover
on the ensuing
inbounds, and
finished the play
off with an assist
to Emily Sutton
for layup. The
Knights kept a
full-court pressure on Nanticoke
after every score until late in the
quarter, the defense holding the
Trojans without a score for al-
most three minutes of play.
I thought if we saved that
pressure for the end we would be
in good shape, said Lehman
coach Charlie Lavan. I felt that if
we came out with intensity and
got off to a good start that we
would have a good chance. We
kept up the pressure, we made
our shots, and we played togeth-
er defensively as a team.

her 1,000th point
The Times Leader staff
While Lavans change in strategy late
in the game provided a boost, it was his
teams steady defensive play throughout
the first three quarters that kept the
game close after Nanticoke took an early
lead.
Brittany Sugalski and Katie Wolfe ac-
countedfor all of theTrojans 14points in
the first quarter, staking Nanticoke to a
14-9 lead. Much like throughout the en-
tire game, Wolfe did her damage inside
for seven of her game-high19 points and
a handful of her 11 rebounds.
Lehman kept its defensive composure
in the second quarter, though, and re-
ceived some forceful inside play of its
own from Cayle Spencer. The freshman
scored eight of her 16 points as the Black
Knights took back the lead going into
the half.
Wefelt wewereincontrol of thegame
going into the locker room, said Lavan.
And in the second quarter I thought
(Spencer) did an excellent job. We got
her the basketball, she was aggressive
for us. She played a great game for us to-
night.
Wolfe went back to work in the paint
for Nanticoke in the third quarter, add-
inganother eight points that helpedtrim
Lehmans leadtothree for the start of the
fourth quarter. The Knights, however,
kept pace behind a balanced offense be-
fore shutting the Trojans down and run-
ning away with the win.

Awild finish is looming for the
teamportionof theWyomingVal-
ley Conference wrestling season.
It seems fitting that the cam-
paign should conclude wildly be-
cause of the craziness that has al-
ready occurred in the last four
weeks.
All you have to do is look at
conference scores from the last
few weeks to realize the mad-
ness, which has consisted of ev-
erything from upsets to meet-
clinching pins.
And now there is a possibility
Division I could end in a four-way
tie for the championship or one
team could win it outright.
The formula for an unprece-
dented foursome tying for the di-
vision title is fairly simple. Ber-
wick (1-4, D-I) defeats Wyoming
Valley West (4-1) tonight. Hazle-
ton Area (3-2) knocks off Pittston
Area (3-1) tomorrow, followed by
the Patriots putting a loss to
Coughlin (4-1) on Tuesday.
Valley West could settle the
foursome tie with a win over the
Bulldogs in its division finale and
could also secure at least a share
of the division title for the first
time since 1999 while participa-
ting in the West Division prior to
the power realignment in 2005.
While four teams tying for the
division title would be interest-
ing, a more likely scenario is that
the Spartans and either the Cru-
saders or Patriots finish as co-
champions. But the teams are al-
so fighting for the conferences
No. 1 seed in next weekends Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A Duals Tourna-
ment.
If Valley West and Pittston Ar-
ea finish tied, Valley West gets
the tiebreaker and the top seed
based on head-to-head when the
Spartans pulledout the victory. A
Crusaders-Spartans tie goes to
Coughlin, which won the early-
season meeting earlier this
month.
The seeding is significant be-
cause although any team will
likely have to go through defend-
ing champion Delaware Valley,
the No. 2 seed would have to see
DelVal in the semifinals as op-
posed to possibly the finals.
Pittston Area is the defending
divisional champion, while Ha-
zleton Areas last title came in
2010. Coughlin is searching for
its first division title since win-
ning the East Division crown in
2004. All four teams appear to
have a spot locked up for duals.
Crestwood (3-3) also may be in
the running for a district duals
wild card, but its hopes may
hinge on a one-point loss to
Scranton in December. Berwick
and Tunkhannock have been
eliminated.
The battle for Division II and
the seedings for the Class 2A
duals are much simpler, but
could also produce a hectic fin-
ish.
To simplify matters, if Lake-
Lehman wins its final two meets
Saturday vs. Hanover Area and
Wednesday at Wyoming Area
the Black Knights will win their
first Division II title in school his-
tory and first WVC division
crownsince winningthe West Di-
visionin2001. The BlackKnights
(4-0 D-II) will also wrap-up the
conferences top seed for the
duals in that scenario.
But any slipup opens the door
for the Warriors (3-1) or Moun-
taineers (4-1) to slide in as co-
champions. Dallas just won the
D-II title in 2009. One of those
teams will likely be eliminated
from championship contention
this weekend and will battle for
district seeding position as they
face off Saturday at Dallas.
Defendingdivisionanddistrict
duals champ Meyers (3-2) has all
but locked up a spot for the duals
tournament as at least the wild
card. Hanover Area (2-3) has slim
district dual hopes, while Nanti-
coke and GAR have been elimi-
nated.

Pocono Raceway is the only re-
maining family owned and run
track on the NASCARSprint Cup
Series schedule.
A release by Pocono Speedway

the pulse of stock car racing and
read everything printed concern-
ing the sport. He was in the office
daily, until last fall, and oversaw
all aspects of the Pocono Race-
way operations.
At age 83, Mattioli spearhead-
ed an ambitious solar energy pro-
ject. He built a three megawatt
photovoltaic solar energy system
on25acres at PoconoRaceway. It
is the worlds largest solar-power-
ed sports facility, making Pocono
Raceway a leader in the renew-
able energy and environmental
fields.

thropic Lifetime Achievement
Award presented by the Associ-
ation of Fundraising Profession-
als for his generous and contin-
uous contributions to local civic
organizations, hospitals, schools
and charities.
Mattioli served in the Pacific
during World War Two as a Navy
medic.
Using the G.I. bill, he enrolled
in the dentistry program at Tem-
ple University, where he met his
soon to be wife, Rose.
Upon graduation, he devel-
oped his dental practice into a ve-
ry lucrative business by working
extensive hours. He beganinvest-
ing in and developing properties
inPhiladelphia andNortheastern
Pennsylvania where he became
involved in the startup process of
what would become Pocono

GATINEAU, Quebec Da-
niel Alfredsson stuck close to
home both his native Swe-
den and his adopted home of
Ottawa in making his selec-
tions in the NHL All-Star draft
on Thursday night.
His opposing team captain,
defenseman Zdeno Chara, took
a more offensive approach as
the two rosters Team Alf-
redsson and Team Chara
were formed. They will face
each other in the skills competi-
tion on Saturday and the All-
Star game on Sunday.
Chara, the Boston Bruins
captain, earnedthe right topick
first after winning the puck
flip. Leaving two teammates
on the board, Chara went with
Detroit Red Wings forward Pa-
vel Datsyuk.
I love the way he plays the
game, Chara said.
The hulking defensemanalso
acknowledged he would have
consideredpickinganother Red
Wings player, Nicklas Lidstrom,
had the seven-time Norris Tro-
phy winner been an All-Star.
Lidstrom asked the NHL in ad-
vance not to select him.
After picking Bruins goalie
Tim Thomas with his second
pick, Chara thenwent withPen-
guins forward Evgeni Malkin,
the NHL scoring leader.
Alfredsson opened by selec-
ting two Senators teammates,
defenseman Erik Karlsson and
forward Jason Spezza. He even-
tually completed the Senators
sweep by taking forward Milan
Michalek with the 24th pick.
Selecting Karlsson was no
surprise after Alfredsson ac-
knowledged last week that his
children wanted himto pick the
defenseman. Karlsson is a fel-
low Swede, and lived with Alf-
redsson during his rookie sea-
son two years ago, where the
joke was that he babysat Alf-
redssons children.
The distinction of Mr. Irrele-
vant fell to San Jose Sharks for-
ward Logan Couture, who was
the last of the 38 players select-
ed. For being the last man
standing, Couture won a car
and will have $20,000 donated
to a charity of his choice. It was
a homecoming for Couture,
who played junior hockey in Ot-
tawa.
This is the second straight
year the NHLhas had teamcap-
tains draft players.
This years crop of stars is a
watereddowngroupthat is mis-
sing two of the leagues highest
profile players. SidneyCrosbyis
missing his second straight All-
Star game due to a concussion.
Alex Ovechkin pulled out this
week after the NHL suspended
him three games for an illegal
hit.
The draft was held at a hotel
adjoined to a casino in Quebec,
just across the Ottawa River
from Canadas capital.
And there was a loud and rau-
cous Senators crowd of fans on
hand, cheering on Alfredsson,
and booing when both Maple
Leafs players Phil Kessel and
Dion Phaneuf were drafted
by Chara.
ByselectingKessel 15th, Cha-
ra ensured the Maple Leafs for-
ward wouldnt be the final play-
er selected for a second straight
year. It helped that Chara and
Kessel previously played to-
gether in Boston.
This years final pick came
down to either Couture or Dal-
las Stars forward Jamie Benn.
Chara went with Benn after
crediting the player for compet-
ing in the All-Star game after
having an appendectomy.
Alfredsson landed the NHLs
leading goal-scorer, Steven
Stamkos. Alfredsson also swept
the Swedish contingent, pick-
ing the four fellow countrymen
including Vancouvers twins,
Daniel and Henrik Sedin
available in the draft.
Then again, there were ques-
tions whether Chara wouldpick
a Canucks player after the
Bruins beat Vancouver in a
heatedseven-game Stanley Cup
finals series last spring.
Earlier Thursday, Alfredsson
hintedduringaninterviewwith
Gary Bettmanonthe NHLcom-
missioners weekly radio show
that he is interested in return-
ing to play for one more season
After previously avoided
questions about his future, Alf-
redsson said he is pleased with
how his and the Senators sea-
son is going.
If Im healthy, I hope I can
play one more year, he said.
Alfredsson added that he will
make a decision after the sea-
son is over. The 39-year-old for-
ward has one year left on his
contract.

Chara takes Datsyuk No. 1
By JOHN WAWROW
AP Sports Writer
Matt Gorman, a reserve on the
2003 Syracuse University nation-
al championship team, has been
added to the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Steamers roster.
Gorman first practiced with
the team Wednesday and is ex-
pected to see some playing time
Saturday in a 2:05 p.m. Premier
Basketball League home game
against the Dayton AirStrikers. It
will be Gormans first game ac-
tion since May 2010, when the 6-
foot-10 center finished his second
season in the British Basketball
League.
Hes in good shape, Steamers
co-coach and general manager
John Bucci said.
Hes probably a week and a
half away from being in top play-
ing condition.
Besides getting himself physi-
cally ready, Gorman knows he
has some other catchinguptodo.
You could tell I havent been
playing competitively, he said in
a phone interview after practice.
Im coming in in the middle of
the season and these guys have
been going at it for a month.
Gorman, whothought his play-
ing days might be over, knows
many of the players around the
PBL.
This one kind of just came
up, Gorman said. I had been
looking, but I had given up hope
after the fall when nothing hap-
pened.
Gorman was working in his
hometown of Watertown, N.Y.
when Bucci reached him.
A member of the same recruit-
ing class as Carmelo Anthony

SAN DIEGO Spencer
Levin and Kyle Stanley knew
they had to post low scores on
the easier North Course at
Torrey Pines to get off to a good
start Thursday in the Farmers
Insurance Open. It went even
better than they expected.
Stanley made eagle on his
final hole for a 10-under 62, his
best score in two years on the
PGA Tour. Levin shot 29 on the
back nine and had a 62, match-
ing his career best on tour.
I played the pro-am on the
North Course yesterday. There
were just a lot of birdie opportu-
nities out there, so I knew there
was a good score maybe not
10 (under), but Ill take it,
Stanley said.
They were a shot ahead of
FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas,
who had a double bogey on his
15th hole and still managed a
63. The top 12 on the lead-
erboard played the North,
which played slightly more than
3 1/2 strokes easier than the
South Course, which hosted the
U.S. Open four years ago.
The best score from the
South was Marc Turnesa at 66.
Abu Dhabi Golf Championship
ABU DHABI, United Arab
Emirates Rory McIlroy out-
played Tiger Woods in the first
round of the Abu Dhabi Golf
Championship, shooting a 5-
under 67 for a share of the lead
with Robert Karlsson.
Woods shot a 70 in a three-
some with McIlroy and top-
ranked Luke Donald, who fin-
ished with a 71.
Gareth Maybin, Richard
Finch and Jean-Baptiste Gonnet
shot 68.
Woods played bogey-free golf
that produced few momentous
shots and two birdies. He mis-
sed several birdie chances,
including a 6-footer on his
ninth, the 18th hole.
McIlroy, the U.S. Open cham-
pion who has had three top-five
finishes in Abu Dhabi, made
three birdies on his first four
holes but erratic driving led to
two bogeys on the next four. He
steadied himself with three
birdies on his back nine, in-
cluding a chip-in on No. 8 from
just off the green.

TAMPA, Fla. The Bucca-
neers arecountingonGregSchia-
no to lead them back to respect-
ability and transform Tampa Bay
into consistent winners much
in the same way he made Rutgers
matter again.
The 45-year-old former Scarlet
Knights coach was hired Thurs-
day, more than three weeks after
the Bucs fired Raheem Morris
following a 4-12 finish.
The team scheduled a press
conference for Friday to intro-
duce Schiano, who inherits a
team that allowed the most
points in the NFL this season.
CoachSchianois a bright, me-
ticulous teacher who knows how
to get the most out of his play-
ers, general manager Mark Do-
minik said. He built and ran a
pro-style programat Rutgers, and
hes a defensive-minded coach
whose teams have always been
characterizedby toughness anda
physical style of play.
Schiano was at Rutgers for 11
seasons, taking them from col-
lege football laughingstocks to a
programthat has had winning re-
cords in six of the last seven
years. He was an assistant coach
in the NFL with Chicago from
1996-98.
The Scarlet Knights appointed
offensive line coachKyle Floodas
interim head coach while the
school searches for Schianos re-
placement.
The Bucs firedMorris onJan. 2
after Tampa Bay lost 10 straight
games to end the season, most of
them by double-digit margins.
The collapse following a promis-
ing 4-2 start came only a year af-
ter the NFLs youngest teamwent
10-6 and narrowly missed the
playoffs.
The Glazer family that owns
the team interviewed at least 10
candidates for the opening, in-
cluding Oregons Chip Kelly, who
was offered the position before
turning it down earlier this week.
The Bucs also talked to former
NFL head coaches Mike Sher-
man, Brad Childress and Marty
Schottenheimer; Carolina Pan-
thers offensive coordinator Rob
Chudzinski; Tennessee Titans
defensive coordinator Jerry
Gray; Cincinnati Bengals defen-
sive coordinator Mike Zimmer;
Green Bay quarterbacks coach
Tom Clements and former Pack-
ers offensive coordinator Joe
Philbin, who accepted the head
coaching opening with the Mia-
mi Dolphins.
An 11th known candidate, ex-
Dallas Cowboys coach and cur-
rent Houstondefensive coordina-
tor Wade Phillips, canceled a
scheduled interview with the
Bucs that would have taken place
whiletheTexans wereintheplay-
offs.
Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer
said the club was thrilled to en-
trust the teams rebuilding pro-
ject to Schiano.
During our thorough search,
we met with numerous impres-
sive candidates, but coach Schia-
no surely distinguished himself,
Glazer said. Fromhis leadership
skills to his considerable track re-
cord, he is, simply put, the right
man for the job.
Its not the first exhaustive
search the Glazers have conduct-
ed for a coach.
The Bucs pursued Steve Spur-
rier before hiring Tony Dungy in
1996, then tried to lure Bill Par-
cells and Steve Mariucci to Tam-
pa Bay before trading two first-
rounddraft picks, as well as a pair
of second-rounders and $8 mil-
lion cash to the Oakland Raiders
in exchange for the opportunity
to negotiate a contract with Jon
Gruden after the 2001 season.
Gruden led the Bucs to their
only Super Bowl title the follow-
ing season, but Tampa Bay hasnt
won a playoff game since. The
Glazers fired him three weeks af-
ter the Bucs lost the final four
games of 2008 to miss the play-
offs, and promoted Morris as his
successor.
Tampa Bay went 17-31 under
Morris, who served as his own
defensive coordinator. The Bucs
allowed a franchise-record 494
points in 2011, including 31 of
more in seven of the last eight
games.
In addition to fixing a defense
thats been rebuilt over the past
twodrafts, gettingyoungquarter-
back Josh Freeman back on track
with be a priority this offseason.
Freeman threw for 25 touch-
downs and just six interceptions
in 2010, his second year in the
league and his first as a full-time
starter. The 24-year-old passed
for 16 TDs vs. 22 interceptions
this season.
The timing of the move could
put Rutgers in a bind with nation-
al signing day less than a week
away. This is a pivotal time in the
recruiting process, with coaches
locking up commitments from
high school prospects who make
those agreements official by sign-
ingnational letters of intent start-
ing Wednesday.
Schianos contract with Rutg-
ers runs through 2016 and pays
him around $2.35 million per
year.
He played linebacker at Buck-
nell, but never in the NFL. His
first big break in coaching came
at Penn State, where Joe Paterno
hired him to coach defensive
backs in 1991.

whentoldof anallegedassault by
a graduate assistant, took the
matter to two senior school ad-
ministrators.
And yet, for his actions, he
was excoriated by the media and
fired over the telephone by his
university, Knight said. Yet, in
all his subsequent appearances in
the press, on TV, interacting with
students, conversing with hospi-
tal personnel, giving interviews,
he never complained, he never
lashed out.
Every word, every bit of body
language conveyeda single mess-
age: We are Penn State.
Knight was not the only one of
the12speakers tomake reference
to the scandal that led to Pater-
nos downfall duringthe two-and-
a-half-hour memorial, but he was
easily the most outspoken.
Michael Robinson, a former
quarterback who led the Nittany
Lions to a Big Ten title in 2005,
made multiple references to
school administrators he called
sharks who were looking to
get (Joe) out of there.
I didnt understand the pres-
sure he was under, Robinson
said of the tumultuous 7-16
stretch the Lions went through
during his sophomore and junior
seasons.
Robinson spoke of his appre-
ciation for Paterno, and that grat-
itude was reflected by the long
trip he made back to State Col-
lege.
Recently selected as a replace-
ment at the ProBowl, Robinson
nowa fullbackfor the Seattle Sea-
hawks flew11hours fromHono-
lulu to get back to Pennsylvania
in time for the memorial.
Joe actually told me he
thought I would be a Pro Bowl
running back or fullback, an
emotional Robinson said. And
as God as my witness...
He was cut off by applause.
Former Penn State tailback
Charlie Pittman one of Pater-
nos first recruits as a head coach
in the 1960s said he was as im-
pressed by Paterno in the final
months of his life as any other
time.
Despite being pushed away
fromhis beloved game and under
extreme pressure in the past few
months, Joes grace was startling.
I didnt think he had any les-
sons left for me. I was wrong.
I got the call that he passed
away on my birthday. On my
birthday. What anomen. (It said)
our work is not done. We must
continue that grand experiment.
It is needed now more than ever.
Rest in peace, Coach. Well
take it from here.

Jay Paterno was the 12th and
final speaker of a groupthat gath-
ered to say goodbye to the leg-
endary Penn State coach, who
died Sunday and was buried
Wednesday.
Six lettermen one from each
decade that Joe Paterno coached
the Nittany Lions each deliver-
ed speeches along with students
and family friends. Charlie Pitt-
man (1960s), Pittstons Jimmy
Cefalo (70s), Todd Blackledge
(80s), Christian Marrone (90s),
Michael Robinson (2000s) and
Michael Mauti from the current
squad all shared their thoughts
on their longtime coach.
Former Penn State player and
coach Kenny Jackson provided
an introduction. Nike chairman
Phil Knight spoke, as did Susan
Welch, Penn States Dean of Lib-
eral Arts, and two students
Lauren Perrotti of the Paterno
Fellows Scholar program and
Jeff Bast, the first Mayor of Pa-
ternoville.
All 12,000-plus in attendance
stood at the open and applauded
as Joes wife of nearly 50 years,
SuePaterno, walkedout ontothe
Jordan Center floor, linked arm-
in-armwith her son David. Over-
whelmedbytheshowof support,
Sue went and embraced each of
her five children and 17 grand-
children before the ceremony be-
gan with a prayer, an a cappella
rendition of the Penn State alma
mater and a video montage.
He always reflected praise,
Jackson, said of Paterno to begin
the memorial. He never
thought he was the show.
But today, my teacher, you
have no choice. Today we are go-
ing to show you how much we
love you.
That thought was echoed at
the end of the day when Jay Pa-
terno stood up and quoted some
of his fathers favorite authors,
philosophers and historical fig-
ures.
He referenced the Greek play-
wright Sophocles, whom Joe
quoted often.
One must wait until the eve-
ning to truly see how magnifi-
cent the day has been.
My father, Joseph Vincent Pa-
terno, never wanted to look
back, to be seated in the evening
reflecting on the day past, Jay
said. Oncesomethingwas done,
it was on to the next challenge.
Well, Dad, you have no
choice. The evening has arrived,
and whether you like it or not,
there are many here that have
and will continue to reflect on
the magnificent daylight of your
life.
Finally, struggling to hold
back tears, Jay Paterno recount-
edthe final words he sharedwith
his father before his death. This
past Sunday morning at the hos-
pital, when Jay knew Joes hour
was at hand, he kissed his father
and whispered in his ear.
Dad, he said. You won. You
did all you can do. Youve done
enough. We all love you. You
won.
You can go home now.

HARRISBURG Support for
the decision by Penn State trust-
ees to fire the late Joe Paterno is
falling, according to a national
poll released Thursday.
The Seton Hall Sports Poll in-
dicatedthat 42 percent of respon-
dents support thefootball coachs
firing, down from 55 percent in
November.
Forty percent said he should
have been allowed to retire after
decades as coach, up from31per-
cent in November.
Nearly two-thirds said Pater-
nos legacy has been tarnished,
while about 18 percent did not
think so.
The poll also asked which
news story people were paying
most attention to. The economy
was first, at 40 percent; followed
by the Republican race for the
presidential nomination, 32 per-
cent; the Super Bowl, 17 percent;
and problems in the Middle East,
6 percent.
Trustees fired Paterno in No-
vember, citing his failure to go to
police after getting a graduate as-
sistants eyewitness account of al-
leged child sex abuse by former
defensive coordinator Jerry
Sandusky in the football team
showers.
Sandusky awaits trial on 52

ual abuse of 10boys over a15-year

Czech in the Wimbledon final
last year. Azarenka beat defend-
ing champion Kim Clijsters 6-4,
1-6, 6-3.
The latest Grand Slam meet-
ing between Nadal and Federer
whove won 26 majors be-
tween them was a semifinal
worthy of a final.
Nadal didnt excuse his cele-
bration, but explained it as let-
ting off steam.
Its a fantastic victory for me.
Very, very happy playing against
the greatest of the history in
semifinals, big match on Rod La-
ver (court), he said. Its one of
the victories thats going to stay
in my mind forever. Its a fantas-
tic way to start the season. Very
happy for everything.
Apart from the 11 consecutive
points Federer lost after a 10-
minute delay near the end of the
secondset while the Australia
Day fireworks display was inpro-
gress the match was tightly
contested.
Nadal has labored with inju-
ries since losing the U.S. Open fi-
nal, and hed talked about having
time off next month to let his
sore shoulder heal. On the eve of
the tournament, he hurt his knee
while he sat ina chair at his hotel
and thought for a while that
he wouldnt be able to play at the
Australian Open. He has played
with his right knee heavily
strapped, but has still won six
straight matches.
The 10th Grand Slammeeting
between Nadal and Federer
equaled the record for individual
major matchups since the Open
era began in 1968. Ivan Lendl
beat John McEnroe in seven of
their 10 meetings. Nadal now
leads Federer 8-2.
Federer said it feels like Nadal
plays his best tennis against him.
Last time the pair met in Aus-
tralia, Nadal won the 2009 final
infive sets. He hadto console Fe-
derer as he sobbed during the
trophy presentation.
For meit didnt feel anydiffer-
ent, you know, a finals or a semis
against Rafa, Federer said of
Thursdays match. Its always an
occasion ... Yeah, it was the
same.
It was easier tohandlewalking
off the court immediately,
though, and not having his emo-
tions broadcast to millions of
people.
Its nicer, Federer said. I pre-
fer to walk off this way than hav-
ing to go through the trophy cer-
emony after losing.
Nadal has won the last five
Grand Slam matches theyve
played four of them in finals.
Thelast timetheymet inaGrand
Slamsemifinal was at the French
Open in 2005, when Nadal beat
the then No. 1-ranked Federer en
route to his first major title.
We have had good matches
over the years. I enjoy playing
him. The crowd really gets into
it, which is nice, Federer said.
We have a lot of respect for each
other, which is good, too, I
think.
For Nadal, the celebrations
were more about his progress to
the final rather than another win
over Federer.
Thats why, because ... 24
hours to play my first match, I
was in my roomcrying because I
believe I didnt have the chance
to play in Melbourne, he said.
So it was a very, very tough sit-
uation for me, these hours.
Two weeks later I am here in
the finals, he said. Having very
badexpectations 24hours before
the first match, and now two
weeks later I am playing well. I
am in the final.
For his part, Federer, thinks
his rivalry with Nadal is still
good for tennis.
TENNIS
MELBOURNE, Australia
The age gap only two years, the
difference in experience is vast
between Maria Sharapova and
Victoria Azarenka.
Sharapova will play her sixth
Grand Slam final at the Austra-
lian Open on Saturday against
Azarenka, who is making her de-
but. And it isnt just a major title
on the line the winner will
claim the No. 1 ranking.
Four years after winning the
last of her three major titles and
approachingeight years sinceshe
lifted the Wimbledon trophy at
17, Sharapova has another
chance to add to her Grand Slam
haul.
It means somuchtobebackin
a Grand Slam final, Sharapova
said. Its nice toget that far again
after losing quite early in the last
couple of years.
Now24, Sharapova has already
been on tour long enough to ex-
perience the ups and downs of
tennis. After winning the Austra-
lianOpenin2008, sheunderwent
shoulder surgery that took her
out of the game for nine months.
It took much longer for her to
get back to her peak, and she lost
at the Australian Open before the
quarterfinals on her last two vis-
its. She reached the Wimbledon
final last year, but lost to Petra
Kvitova the player she beat in
Thursdays semifinals.
With the shoulder, I knew
some examples of some people
that did not quite recover from
surgery and that was a little
frightening, but I really had no
option, she said. Of course it
tooka longtimeandit was a proc-
ess, but it was just something
that was in my steps that I had to
go through. And I did.

An Eynon Buick GMC Dealership
LONDON The pay isnt
great, the job is temporary and
you could be a target for terror-
ists. But whenMabel Cross heard
that she might be able to work at
the 2012 Summer Olympics, she
rushedtoget toa Londonrecruit-
ment center early.
Immaculate in a navy suit and
pink shirt, Cross painstakingly
filled out forms Thursday in
hopes she could be part of a vast
new Olympic workforce. The
recruitment effort at a school just
outside the Olympic stadium in
East London is the most visible
signal yet that organizers are
ready to stop building arenas and
start delivering sports events.
I wish I could be successful,
the 52-year-oldsaidina voice just
above a whisper. I would be so
interested to work for the Olym-
pics.
Some 10,000 security guards
are needed and organizers have
already received three times that
number in applications from
around the country. The guards
will workalongside Britishpolice
and the military to deliver a ro-
bust andexpensivesecurity
operation involving about 23,700
people.
Planners are also moving to fi-
nalize security, ticketing and
transport plans despite a series of
setbacks that have pushed costs
higher.
Were switching from plan-
ning stuff to really doing it, said
organizing committee chief exec-
utive Paul Deighton.
While Britains total cost for
the event remains at 9.3 billion
pounds ($14.6 billion), auditors
say theres little wiggle room for
the unexpected. The budget for
the games is finely balanced,
with less than 0.4 percent of the
total left to cover unforeseen ex-
penses, the National Audit Office
has said.
If anything unexpected and ex-
pensive happens, Olympic offi-
cials will have to ask British tax-
payers, already struggling in
tough economic times, for more
money. Paying more for the
games would not enhance their
popularity among a public al-
ready angered by a complex,
computerized ticketing system
that was riddled with glitches
andleft manypeople unable toat-
tend.
Part of the reason for the bud-
get worries is that security costs
have continued to rise. British of-
ficials last month doubled the
fundingfor security operations at
venues, raising overall security
costs to more than 1 billion
pounds ($1.6 billion).
London Olympic organizing
committee chief Sebastian Coe
assured The Associated Press in
an interviewthat the games were
ontrackandwill stayintheblack.
Occasionally some things are
slightly more than you expect,
he said, speakingat the WorldEc-
onomic ForuminDavos, Switzer-
land. On a lot of occasions,
theyre slightly less than you ex-
pect, but overall those changes
have taken place within that 9.3
billion-pound envelope.
Coe vowed that glitches in the
ticketing process were being
ironed out before the next batch
go on sale in April. About 1.9 mil-
lion people made 24 million tick-
et applications for the 6 million
tickets available.

Applicants hoping to work as members of security staff at the
2012 London Olympics fill out electronic forms as they go
through a screening and interview process Thursday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Since
the system isnt broken, NAS-
CAR officials have no plans to
change it at least nothing rad-
ical.
The sport enjoyed one of its
most exciting seasons ever last
year, culminating with Tony
Stewart winning his third Sprint
Cup championship in the last
race of the season. NASCAR
Chairman and CEOBrian France
said the sport is in a very good
place as it moves toward anoth-
er season beginning next month
with the Daytona 500.
But France also believes it can
be even better.
So while NASCAR will pretty
much leave well enough alone,
they will make a few minor
tweaks including taking some
measures to address reducing
two-car tandem racing at Dayto-
na and Talladega.
We have had a breathtaking
number of close finishes at those
tracks, but the fans want a mix-
ture of styles including a return
to a more traditional pack rac-
ing and that close side-by-side
competition thats unique to Tal-
ladega and Daytona, France said
Thursday at NASCARs annual
preseason press conference.
NASCAR and the teams are
working hard on this and based
on the test earlier this month,
were encouraged that were mak-
ing progress.
France said the two-car tan-
dem racing evolved into some-
thing that no one saw coming,
and nowwere going to deal with
that.
NASCARs vice president of
competition Robin Pemberton
said some changes will be made
to the cars including adding a
slightly larger restrictor plate, a
smaller spoiler and softer
springs.
Those changes will be made
beginning at Daytona next
month.
All of these combinations will
help the qualifying be more excit-
ing, said Pemberton. ... The
changes we made in the cooling
system and the aero package we
believe will aid in getting back to
the more traditional style pack
drafting that weve come to ex-
pect at Daytona and Talladega."
Pemberton also said NASCAR
will be implementing some simi-
lar adjustments to the Nation-
wide and the Camping World
Truck Series.
We knowthat the fans want to
see more of the traditional style
pack drafting, and so do we, said
Pemberton. We wont be able to
totally eliminate the two car
push. It will be a valuable tool
that the teams will be able to use
from time to time. However, we
do believe that weve come up
with a rules package that will
help it be the exception rather
than the norm.
Pemberton said test results at
Daytona earlier this month were
productive.
Weve receivedgreat feedback
from the teams, and it was un-
precedented, it really was, said
Pemberton. The communica-
tion was second to none.
While the 2012 season will be
one of continuity rather than ma-
jor change, NASCAR will intro-
duce electronic fuel injectioninto
the Sprint Cup Series.
EFI excites the manufacturers
and technology companies, said
France. To attract new compa-
nies (to the sport), weve had to
take a little different view of
that.
France said NASCAR is very
encouraged by increased televi-
sion ratings across its three na-
tional series - the Sprint Cup, Na-
tionwide and Camping World
Truck series.

Taco Bell tests breakfast
Taco Bell, the Mexican-style fast-food
chain that caters to the late-night
snacking crowd with tacos and gordi-
tas, introduced a breakfast menu
Thursday at almost 800 restaurants in
14 states.
If the launch goes well, Taco Bell
plans to begin selling its breakfast
burritos and hash browns in its 5,600
locations nationwide by 2014.
Taco Bell is teaming with such pop-
ular brands as Johnsonville, Cinnabon,
Tropicana and Seattles Best for its
breakfast menu that range in price
from 99 cents to $2.79.
Jobless claims bump up
The number of people seeking unem-
ployment benefits rose last week to a
seasonally adjusted 377,000, up from a
nearly four-year low the previous week.
But the longer-term trend is pointing to
a healthier job market.
Applications have trended down over
the past few months. The four-week
average has declined to 377,500. When
applications fall consistently below
375,000, it tends to signal that hiring is
strong enough to lower the unemploy-
ment rate.
Claims in Pennsylvania fell 11,687,
the second-largest decrease among the
50 states.
Buffett gives millions
Billionaire Warren Buffett donated
stock in his company worth $41.6 mil-
lion to eight unnamed charities during
the second half of 2011.
These gifts are in addition to Buf-
fetts annual gifts to the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation and the four Buffett
family foundations that are slated to
eventually receive most of Buffetts
fortune.
Buffett has said he plans to eventu-
ally donate all of his 350,000 Class A
and 26.2 million Class B shares of Berk-
shire stock worth about $44 billion to
charities.
Record low Treasury yield
The U.S. government is paying re-
cord low interest rates to fund its bor-
rowing needs.
On Thursday, U.S. Treasury paid its
lowest yield ever on a seven-year note
auction, raising $29 billion at a yield of
1.359 percent.
The government was able to sell
debt at the lower yield because of the
Federal Reserves commitment to keep-
ing interest rates near zero until 2014.

ATLANTA Published fares
on carriers such as Delta and
American Airlines appeared to
jump by hundreds of dollars
Thursday for some flights as a
newU.S. rule forces disclosure of
mandatorytaxes andfees inquot-
ed prices.
While total ticket costs wont
change, airlines and travel agen-
cies now must show a number
that combines the base fare with
all required taxes and fees, ac-
cording to the Transportation
Department. Airline charges for
optional services suchas checked
bags or in-flight Wi-Fi arent cov-
ered.
Gone are the teaser fares pro-
moting trans-Atlantic flights for
as little as $150, which can sur-
prise fliers when they discover
the total with all charges is closer
to $800, said Charlie Leocha, a
founder of passenger-rights
group Consumer Travel Alliance
in Springfield, Va.
This is about truthinadvertis-
ing, and it wont be as deceptive
anymore, Leocha said. They
will have to show you the prices
you can actually buy a ticket for.
Theres no such thing as a ticket
to Europe for $150 total.
Airlines such as Delta, Ameri-
can and United Continental, the
worlds biggest carrier, have been
adjusting advertising and data
coding to prepare for the rule, as
has Expedia, the largest online
travel agency, spokesmen said.
The most-visible changes for
passengers may be on interna-
tional tickets, where taxes and
fees passedonbyairlines account
for several hundred dollars of the
price and can be double or triple
the base fare amount.
For example, Deltas website
Wednesday listed a round-trip
coach ticket in May from its
hometown hub in Atlanta to Lon-
don Heathrow with a $338.40
base fare, while taxes and fees
added another $599.20, bringing
the total to $937.60.
DOT has been considering a
policy change on fare advertising
sinceat least 2006, andsaidinthe
final rule issued in April that this
change was toaddress a bait and
switch tactic by travel sellers.
On domestic itineraries, taxes
andfees areoftenless than10per-
cent of the total ticket so the new
disclosure rules may be less no-
ticeable to those passengers, said
Leocha of the Consumer Travel
Alliance.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. U.S. automak-
ersledbyGeneral Motorsmaylosesharein
their home market this year, but still hold
on to some of their gains against disaster-
stricken Japanese rivals in 2011.
GM, FordandChrysler, comingoff ayear
in which all three added share for the first
time since 1988, may drop a combined 1.3
percent of U.S. market share in 2012, ac-
cording to a Bloomberg survey of five anal-
ysts.
Whilefallingunemployment, risingcon-
sumer confidence and the need to replace
aging vehicles will drive demand, in-
creased Japanese output and improved
competition from Korean brands and
Volkswagenwill test Detroits disciplineon
protecting profit rather thansimply selling
products.
Market-share loss is never positive, but
the U.S. automakers are still going to
grow, JesseToprak, ananalyst at TrueCar-
.com, saidinaphoneinterview. Theycant
losesight of their newemphasis, whichhas
beenimproving their cost structures, mak-
ing cars people want to buy and selling the
product instead of the incentive.
Salesmayrisethisyearto13.6millionve-
hicles, theaverageestimateof thefiveanal-
ysts, from12.8 million in 2011, continuing
therecoveryfrom2009s27-yearlowof10.4
million cars and light trucks.
The last time Ford, GMand Chrysler all
lost shareintheir homemarket was 2008, a
year beforethelatter twotumbledintogov-
ernment-backed bankruptcies. A decade
ago, the three automakers controlled 63
percent of the U.S. market, excluding Mer-
cedes-Benz sales by what was then called
DaimlerChrysler.

HANOVER TWP Four months after
it was inundated by floodwaters, a new
and improved Austies Restaurant re-
opened Thursday morning to the delight
of customers.
Dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with
Survived the 2011 flood, owner Alice
Matyas and several employees raced to
keep up with orders frompatrons who fil-
led the completely refurbished eatery
Thursday afternoon.
The scene was a far cry fromthe devas-
tationMatyas encounteredinSeptember,
when she stood inside the gutted-out
space, wondering howshe would rebuild.
The restaurant was among several
businesses in the Dundee Shopping Cen-
ter that were ravaged by flooding that
devastated the region. Austies was hit
with about 6 feet of water that destroyed
the interior, forcing Matyas to replace all
equipment, booths, tables and other con-
tents.
Matyas considered shuttering the busi-
ness she has run for 36 years after learn-
ing insurance payments would fall far
short of paying for all the repairs.
I hadtotake myretirement, the major-
ity of my daughters college fund and all
of our saving to this, she said. It was ve-
ry hard, but it was a family decision My
children said Mom, you cant do without
Austies. We can do without things.
Loyal customers rewarded her by fill-
ing the restaurant throughout the morn-
ing and afternoon.
Its like home, said longtime custom-
er Lorri Vandermark, who stopped by for
lunch with friends Liz Matisko-Walker
and Mike Brown. Its good, home-
cooked food. When you come here, you
know everyone by name.
Brown is especially fond of the early-
morning breakfasts offered at the restau-
rant, which is open 24 hours.
If you want food any hour of the night,
this is it. There are no other places open,
he said.
Matyas said she appreciated the sup-
port she received throughout the ordeal.
Employees frequently came by to help
out with repairs. All but one returned to
work.
It was just so emotional today when I
opened the door for the first time. I dont
have words to describe it. It was just over-
whelming, she said.

The stormsys-
tem that brought
the wintry mix
last night has
actually been
pulling warmer
air over the
region. The tem-
perature has
climbed into the
lower 40s this
morning and
that has
changed the
wintry mix to
plain rain
overnight. Rain
showers will con-
tinue for a few
more hours
before tapering
off. Slightly cold-
er air will spread
over the region
late this after-
noon and
evening, produc-
ing snow show-
ers and urries.
Saturday looks
good for travel
with above nor-
mal tempera-
tures and dry
conditions.
Another cold
front will spread
colder air and
urries Sunday
afternoon and
evening.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will depart much of the Eastern Seaboard today,
but expect snow in parts of New England much of the day. Thunderstorms will develop south through
the Florida peninsula, as well. Expect areas of light rain and snow in the Midwest, with light snow
coming to an end over the Rockies during the morning hours.

All bids shall remain firm for sixty (60) days
following opening of bids.
Each contractor and each sub-contractor
shall be licensed in the community where
the work will occur.
The Contract will be written to retain 10%
for each request for payment. When the
Contract is 50% completed, one-half of
the amount retained shall be returned to
the Contractor. However, the Architect
must approve the Application For
Payment. The Contractor must be making
satisfactory progress and there must be
no specific cause for greater withholding.
The Owner-Contractor Agreement will be
the Standard Form of Agreement Between
Owner and Contractor AIA Document
A101, 2007 edition.
The Owner requires that all Bids shall
comply with the bidding requirements
specified in the Instructions To Bidders.
The Owner may, at its discretion waive
informalities in Bids, but is not obligated to
do so, nor does it represent that it will do
so. The Owner also reserves the right to
reject any and all Bids. Under no circum-
stances will the Owner waive any informal-
ity which, by such waiver, would give one
Bidder a substantial advantage or benefit
not enjoyed by all other Bidders.

Payment Bonds must be listed in the U.S.
Treasury Circular No. 570.
A Bid Bond made payable to the Sullivan
County School District in the amount of

in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as
a guarantee that, if the bid is accepted,
the bidder shall execute the proposed
contract and shall furnish and pay for a
Performance and Payment Bond in the
amount of 100% of the Contract Price as
security for the performance of the
Contract and payment of all costs thereof,
upon execution of Contract. If, after thirty
days the bidder shall fail to execute said
Contract and Bond, the Bid Bond shall be
forfeited to the Owner as liquidated dam-
ages. The Bid Bond of all bidders, except
the three low bidders, will be returned
within ten (10) days after the opening of
the bids.
The Bid Bond of the three low bidders for
this prime contract will be returned within
three days after the executed Contracts
and required bonds have been approved
by the Owner.
The successful Bidder will be required to
