H
e had once been asked about the perfect ending.
For Joe Paterno, life and football were often the
same thing.
I think the perfect ending is, you drop dead at the end of
the game after you kick the winning field goal, Paterno
joked in 2007 as he prepared for induction into the College
Football Hall of Fame. And they carry you off the field,
and everybodys singing, So long, Joe! Youve been won-
derful!
A perfect ending, by any definition, vanished in Novem-
ber. While uncertainty hangs over his legacy, support has
not abandoned the Penn State coach, who died at 9:25 a.m.
Sunday from lung cancer at age 85.
It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Pa-
terno passed away earlier today. His loss leaves a void in
our lives that will never be filled, his family announced.
He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed
positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded
JOE PATERNO: 1926 - 2012
WE ARE
HEARTBROKEN

Earth Conservancy plans to re-
habilitate another plot of mine-
scarred land in the southern
Wyoming Valley.
The Ashley-based nonprofit
will host a public meeting Feb. 1
at its headquarters to accept pub-
lic comments about its plans to
clean up part of a former strip
mine in Nanticoke.
Earth Conservancy wants to
re-grade and resurface a 20-acre
parcel of a larger, 389-acre tract of
land on the Nanticoke/Hanover
Township border near the inter-
section of Kosciuszko Street and
Middle Road to prevent acid
mine drainage from escaping the
property into surrounding water-
ways.
Properties previously reme-
diated by Earth Conservancy
have beensoldor donatedtopub-
lic and private entities, including
Luzerne County Community
College.
Jacqueline Dickman, director
of public affairs and develop-
ment, said Earth Conservancy
doesnt have any immediate
plans todevelopthe property, but
hopes it will eventually attract
commercial or mixed-use devel-
opment.
The site is near the proposed
terminus of the South Valley
Parkway, a bypass the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Transporta-
tion will build to alleviate traffic
on Middle Road. Dickman said
the land may become more mar-
ketable for development when
the roadway is complete.
Eventually, EarthConservancy
hopes to clean up the entire 389-
acre Nanticoke property, which
the roadway will pass through,
she said.
The nonprofit must hold the
public hearing because the pro-
ject is being funded with a
$200,000 Brownfields Cleanup
Grant from the state Environ-
mental Protection Agency, in ad-
dition to $40,000 from Earth
Conservancy.
Earth Conservancy hopes to
begin cleanup at the site in the
early spring and complete work
within 12 months.

WILKES-BARRE Emergen-
cyfirst responders have anoppor-
tunity to receive training to help
themdeal with mental health pa-
tients, with the ultimate goal of
forming a Crisis Intervention
Team in Luzerne County.
A seminar scheduled for
March 21is designed to teach po-
lice officers, firefighters, para-
medics and 911 call-takers and
dispatchers howtodifferentiate a
mental illness patient froma per-
son under the influence of a con-
trolled substance.
Kelly Petherick, crisis inter-
vention specialist with Commu-
nity Counseling Services, said
police officers spend an enor-
mous amount of time responding
to calls and investigating com-
plaints. If anofficer canrecognize
a combative person is suffering
from a mental illness, Petherick
said, a great deal of time and
money can be saved.
Our hope is to improve the
communication when police
have to interact with a mental
health client, Petherick said. It
can save time in the legal system
andseekout treatment for thecli-
ent.
Statistics show one in five
people suffer mental illness,
said James Davis, mental pro-
gram specialist with Luzerne-
Wyoming Counties Mental
Health Program. He said people
suffering from mental illnesses
are not likely to be aggressive
against another person; they are
more apt to harm themselves.
People who suffer mental ill-
ness are generally not assaul-
tive, Davis said. Its only when
they stop taking their medica-
tion. Our goal is toeducate police
on verbally de-escalating the sit-
uation.
James Kolojejchick, program
coordinator for the Luzerne
County Criminal Justice Adviso-
ry Board, said a police officer
trained in recognizing mental ill-
ness has a greater chance of end-
ing an emergency situation with-
out using force.
Verbal de-escalating is anoth-
er tool for police to calm a situa-
tion involving a patient with
mental illness, Kolojejchick
said. The training is to teach
how to deal with mentally ill cli-
ents with the hopeful outcome
that the situation wont esca-
late.
Paul Radzavicz, executive di-
rector of the National Alliance on
Mental Illness Pennsylvania, said
a Crisis Intervention Team was
formed in Scranton in 2009.
Davis said he hopes there is
enough interest among first re-
sponders to form a CIT in Lu-
zerne County. He is estimating
300 first responders will attend
the seminar.

LOS ANGELES Kate Beck-
insale is back with a vengeance,
withher latest Underworld mo-
vieopeningat No.1thisweekend.
Underworld Awakening
made anestimated$25.4million,
distributor SonyScreenGems re-
ported Sunday.
This is the fourth film in the
vampire action saga. Beckinsale
starred in the first two movies as
the warrior Selene, then bowed
out of part three but returned for
this latest installment. Under-
worldAwakening was shownfor
the first time in 3-D as well as on
IMAX screens, where it made
$3.8 million. Thats 15 percent of
thefilmsweekendgross, whichis
a record for an IMAXdigital-only
run.
Sonyhadhopedthefilmwould
end up in the low-$20 million
range. But Rory Bruer, the stu-
dios president of worldwide dis-
tribution, says the fact that it did
even better despite a snow-
storm that hit much of the Mid-
west and East Coast primarily
has to do with Beckinsales re-
turn.
She is such a force. Her char-
acter you just cant take your
eyes off of her. I knowthe charac-
ter is verydear toher, as well, and
she just kills it, Bruer said. The
3-Daspect of the filmalso brings
something, makes it a fun, viscer-
al ride.
Opening in second place was
Red Tails from executive pro-
ducer George Lucas, about the
Tuskegee Airmen who were the
first black fighter pilots to serve
in World War II. It made an esti-
mated$19.1million, according to
20th Century Fox, which was
well above expectations; the stu-
dio hadhopedto reachdouble di-
gits, said Chris Aronson, execu-
tive vice president of domestic
distribution.
I believe what George Lucas
has statedall along: This is anim-
portant story and a story that
must be told. It is a true story of
American heroism and valor and
audiences have really responded
to this message, Aronson said.
People want to feel good about
themselves, they want to be up-
lifted. We have enough hard crud
going on in this country right
now. Times are tough, and if we
look back and are told a story of
somereallyfantasticdeeds, thats
really compelling moviegoing.
Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian said a grass-roots
effort to get groups of people into
the theaters to see Red Tails,
along with positive word-of-
mouth, helped its strong show-
ing. The film saw an uptick from
about $6 million on Friday to
$8.65 on Saturday.
Overall box office is up 31 per-
cent from the same weekend a
year ago, Dergarabedian said,
thanks to new releases as well as
movies like Extremely Loud &
Incredibly Close, whichhadlim-
ited runs for awards considera-
tion at the end of 2011 and are
now expanding nationwide. The
9/11 drama from Warner Bros.,
starring Tom Hanks and Sandra
Bullock, came in fourth place
with $10.5 million.
Last weeks No. 1film, the Uni-
versal smuggling thriller Con-
traband starring Mark Wahl-
berg, dropped to the No. 3 spot
with $12.2 million. Its nowmade
$46.1millionintwoweeks. Mean-
while, Steven Soderberghs inter-
national action picture Hay-
wire fromRelativityMedia, star-
ring mixed martial arts superstar
Gina Carano in her first filmrole,
opened in fifth place with $9 mil-
lion, which was above expecta-
tions.
This is a great, perfect Janu-
ary weekend. Youve got these
holdover films and newcomers
creating an overall marketplace
that people are really responding
to, Dergarabedian said.

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Casey: Halt Cloud Nine
U
.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
has sent a letter to the Senate
Judiciary Committee asking mem-
bers to work with him to move legis-
lation that would close loopholes in
an existing law that allows the mak-
ers of designer drugs to slightly
change their ingredients and avoid
federal and state bans.
Drug makers latest attempt to
avoid bans on bath salt-like synthetic
drugs has come in the form of a new
drug called Cloud Nine, a variant of
insect repellant that has the same
effects as bath salts.
Casey referenced a recent report
by Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center in Plains Township,
where Sam Saylor, a doctor of emer-
gency medicine, said he has seen an
increase in the number of patients
arriving under the influence of Cloud
Nine.

his grandfather, John Baloga, died that
fateful day.
She was heartbroken at becoming a
widow in her 40s, he said. His father,
Donald, who was inhis early 20s, hadto
step in to his fathers shoes to help the
family get by, Baloga said. Donald Balo-
ga also was in attendance Sunday.
The Baloga family received a small
monetary compensation but nothing
near the costs they incurred after losing
the main breadwinner, he said.
The coal mining companies were
more concerned about the mine than
the miners, he said.
Robert Wolensky, a Knox Mine ex-
pert and professor fromKings College,
addressedthe grouponSunday remind-
ing them to never forget the men who
died.
The remains of those12 menare still
in the mine, he said. We are here to
remember them.
Wolensky said that although no one
was ever found legally guilty in the mat-
ter, speculation about the role of negli-
gent mining practices is common.
Carl Orechovsky, researcher from
Old Forge Coal Mine Inc., said Miners
were a breed their own.
They were tough, smart and had a
strong work ethic, he added. Men wad-
ed through river water up to their waist
inthe darkmine that day toleadmost of
the 81miners who were at risk to safety,
he said.
Sundays ceremony is part of Mining
History Week.
The disaster occurred when the Sus-

he said.

HARRISBURG Its a busy week in
the state House. Among the scheduled
votes are those on a bill that would re-
name an area bridge after a set of broth-
ers killed in separate World War II bat-
tles and one that would lengthen the
mandatory sentence for someone con-
victed of third degree murder involving
a victim younger than 13.
Theres alsoa hearingscheduledTues-
day by the State Government Commit-
tee on reducing the number of districts
in the House of Representatives from
203 to 153.
Heres a lookat some of the bills under
consideration this week in Harrisburg:
House Bill 1847, sponsored by Rep.
Ken Smith, D-Scranton, would desig-
nate the Davis Street Bridge that runs
over I-81 in Moosic the Andrew and Du-
rando Pompey Memorial Bridge.
Staff Sgt. AndrewA. Pompeywas born
onMay1, 1917, inthe Minooka sectionof
Scranton and enlisted in the Army with-
in days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
He was killedby enemy artillery while
leading his squad in an assault of a
bridge spanning the Mussolini Canal
near Sassano, Italy. He is interred in the
Italian American Cemetery adjacent to
Davis Street in Scranton near the Davis
Street Bridge.
His brother, PFC Durando J. Pompey,
was born on Sept. 15, 1921, in Minooka
andalso enlistedinthe Army. Shortly af-
ter landing on Omaha Beach in June
1944, Pompey was killed by enemy artil-
lery. The brothers were posthumously
awarded the Purple Heart.
A vote is scheduled today.
A bill sponsored by Kevin Murphy,
D-Scranton, would mandate a minimum
sentence of 13 years for anyone convict-
ed of third degree murder involving a
victim younger than 13. Currentl law
doesnt specify a minimumsentence tak-
ing age of the victim into account. A
mandatory minimum of six years is on
the books regardless of victims age. The
bill is scheduled for a floor vote on Tues-
day.
If approved, both bills must still be
sent to the state Senate for approval.
A bill sponsored by Speaker of the
House Sam Smith, R-Punxsutawney,
will be the focus of the House State Gov-
ernment Committee at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
House Bill 153 aims to reduce the size
of the General Assembly through a con-
stitutional amendment. It would require
the same bill be debated and passed in
two consecutive sessions, and subse-
quently approved by referendumvote of
the people of Pennsylvania.

JOE PA-
TERNO said
he wished he
would have
done more
when he spoke
about the Jerry
Sandusky scan-
dal.
It was a sincere statement, and
one that speaks to the character
of JoePa.
Paterno never knew the extent
to which Sanduskys alleged
sickness went. Paterno could
never have imagined what his
longtime defensive coordinator
allegedly was doing to young,
innocent boys. It wasnt in Pa-
ternos mind to conjure up the
sick images we now all have
after reading Sanduskys arrest
affidavit.
Paterno was a good man. A
family man. A husband, father,
grandfather, coach, friend, bene-
factor.
Paterno indeed bled Penn
State blue.
He is, was and always will be,
Penn State.
To fire this legend, this icon,
as quickly and unceremoniously
as the Penn State Board of Trust-
ees did was unconscionable.
Better put, it was wrong. And
in so many ways.
Did Paterno stay past his
time? Nobody can argue that. He
decided to leave at the end of the
2011 season, but the board
couldnt wait. It couldnt extend
this man that courtesy. It had a
sense of urgency that was fo-
cused more on opportunity than
justice.
A majority of the board want-
ed Paterno out for some time,
but you just cant remove a leg-
end. Sandusky and his evilness
provided the board with its op-
portunity.
And so a messenger was sent
to the Paterno home late one
night with a note for Paterno to
call someone. He did and he was
told he was fired.
At that moment, the very
foundation of all that is good in
college football not just Penn
State began to crumble.
Media blitz was awful
To remove Paterno after 50-
plus years of dedicated service
that included personal financial
support to the university he so
loved, was, as stated before
wrong.
The media blitz that rushed to
State College on a mission to
pillage and plunder the Penn
State tradition and its beloved
leader was awful. The media
would prefer to celebrate $5
million contracts to coaches who
cheat, headline star athletes who
dont attend classes and worship
underachievers in the name of
television revenues.
Joe Paterno lay in a hospital
with time running out on the
game clock of his life. He wanted
to say goodbye to those he loved
most. Media rushed to be first
to report Paterno had died
even before he did.
What happened here is an
indictment of our society. Pa-
terno deserved much better.
Penn State, as it goes forward,
deserves better as well. Jerry
Sandusky and the acts that have
been charged against him are not
representative of Penn State. Joe
Paterno is representative of Penn
State. Just listen to what his
players have to say. Look at his
graduation record. Examine
what Penn State graduates
athletes and non-athletes have
contributed to the world we live
in.
Yes, Penn State is bigger than
Joe Paterno.
But Penn State is bigger
much bigger because of Joe
Paterno.
May the football program go
on to reach great heights. May
the students attain academic
greatness.
But dont allow the assault on
Paterno and Penn State to con-
tinue.
Be Penn State proud. Always.

Paterno:
Penn State
to the end
STATE COLLEGE Joe Pa-
ternos death from lung cancer
Sunday just two months after his
firing left many Penn State stu-
dents, alumni and community
members numb with grief and a
sense that the legendary coach
deserved better from the univer-
sity after sucha distinguishedca-
reer.
His legacy is without ques-
tion as far as Im concerned,
said 65-year-old Ed Hill of Altoo-
na, a football season ticket-hold-
er for 35 years. The Board of
Trustees threw him to the
wolves. I think Joe was a scape-
goat nationally. ... Im heartbro-
ken.
On Sunday night, thousands
of people, nearly all of them stu-
dents, gathered outside Penn
States administration building
in a solemn candlelight vigil.
Former players were among
those who spoke, including Oak-
land Raiders offensive lineman
Stefen Wisniewski.
When I think back on Joe Pa-
ternos legacy, the events of the
last twomonths wont evencross
my mind, Wisniewski said.
In death, Paterno received the
praise that under normal circum-
stances might have been re-
served for the retirement dinner
he never received.
Gov. Tom Corbett said he had
secured his place in Pennsylva-
nia history and noted that as
both man and coach, Paterno
had confronted adversities,
both past and present, with
grace and forbearance.
Similar tributes were issued
by politicians, university offi-
cials, former players and alumni.
Some expressed hope that Pater-
no would be remembered more
for his accomplishments thanfor
his downfall.
And some wondered whether
his heartbreaking firing some-
how hastened his death.
Paterno, who died at 85, was
fired Nov. 9 by the Penn State
trustees after he was criticized
for not going to the police in
2002 when he was told that for-
mer assistant Jerry Sandusky
had been seen molesting a boy in
the showers at the football com-
plex.
Paterno reported the allega-
tions to university higher-ups,
but it would be nearly a decade
before Sandusky was arrested,
and Paterno said he regretted
having not done more.
Pennsylvanias state police
commissioner said the football
coach may have met his legal du-
ty but not his moral one.
On Sunday, Sandusky ex-
pressed sympathy to Paternos
family in a statement released by
his lawyer as he awaits trial on
charges of sexually abusing 10
boys over a 15-year period.
At an Iowa-Penn State wres-
tling match Sunday afternoon, a
crowdof about 6,500peoplegave
a 30-second standing ovation as
an image of Paterno appeared on
two video boards.
At the universitys Berkey
Creamery, Ginger Colon, of Fair-
fax, Va., was picking up two half-
gallons of Peachy Paterno ice
creamwhen she heard the news.
Colon, whose daughter attends
Penn State, said it was sad that
the scandal would be part of Pa-
ternos legacy.
But from a personal note, it
makes you re-think when things
are reported to you by employ-
ees: Have I taken enough steps?
Colon said.
Andrea Mastro, an immunolo-
gy professor who lives in the
same neighborhood where Pa-
terno lived and raised a family
said the rapid spread of the can-
cer and the shadow of the Sand-
usky investigation made the
whole situation very sad.
I cant help but thinking that
his death is somehowrelated to
the stress of the scandal, she
said.
Mickey Shuler, who playedun-
der Paterno in the mid-70s, said
the coach had been a father fig-
ure.
Its just sad, because I think
he died from other things than
lung cancer, Shuler said. I
dont think that the Penn State
that he helped us to become and
all the principles and values and
things that he taught were car-
ried out in the handling of his sit-
uation.
The trustees and school Presi-
dent Rodney Erickson issued a
statement saying the university
plans tohonor Paternobut is still
working on what form that will
take, and when it will happen.
Paternos death leaves State College grief-stricken
Many events are planned to
commemorate the life and
career of the longtime coach.

Candles on the steps of Old Main on the Penn State University campus spell out Joe in remem-
brance of former football coach Joe Paterno during a memorial service on Sunday in State College.
Without Joe Paterno, Penn
State football wasnt the same,
and without football neither was
he, leading some to blame his
death Sunday on his firing from
theprogramheledfor nearlyhalf
a century.
He died a little more than two
months after the university
Board of Trustees fired him and
president Graham Spanier on
Nov. 9 as a
child sex abuse
scandal involv-
ing former
coach Jerry
Sandusky
stainedthe rep-
utation of Pa-
terno and the
school.
Like every-
body else, I
thinkhe diedof
a broken heart. He just went
downhill after this, said Will
Kresge of Bear Creek Township.
Kresge graduated from Penn
State in 1966, the same year Pa-
terno was named head coach of
the Nittany Lions, and followed
the career of the bespectacled
Paterno over the next 45 years.
I thinkhe didthe right thing,
said Kresge of Paternos hand-
ling of the reported abuse by
Sandusky.
The retired engineer had been
consideringrunningfor a seat on
the board before the firing, but
committed himself to it after-
wards.
The Board of Trustees Im
still blaming for this whole fias-
co, said Kresge.
Without football there was a
major void in the 85-year-old Pa-
ternos life, added JimBrozena, a
1978 graduate, engineer and ex-
ecutive director of the Luzerne
County Flood Protection Au-
thority.
I think thats what kept him
going, said Brozena.
Aboard member of Penn State
Wilkes-Barre in Lehman Town-
ship, Brozena recalled meeting
Paterno and his commitment to
the university.
He was more an educator
than a football coach, said Bro-
zena.
Paternos death is not only a
loss for the football program, but
alsofor the PennState communi-
ty, said1964graduate TomPugh,
retired executive from Allied
Services.
Wethinkhewas a great man,
said Pugh, whose children at-
tended the university.
We think he deserved better
thanthis. We are saddenedbyhis
passing.
Other alumni, students and
fans mourned Paterno while re-
membering him as generous, ac-
cessible and a common sight on
campus.
He was very caring and just a
normal person, said Nicole
Boyle, 29, of Plain Township.
She was part of the Penn State
Cheer Team while she attended
the school from 2001 to 2005.
This man, who probably has
moremoneythanheknows what
to do with, would be driving
somethinglike anearly 90s Audi
duringhomecoming. Hewas just
simple and down to earth.
Michael Hudacek, 50, of Ply-
mouth, got interested in Penn
State football when he was kid
and has attended every bowl
game since the 1975 Cotton
Bowl.
He was invited to the Pater-
nos home after a game for a spa-
ghetti dinner. They cooked the
dinner, said Hudacek.
He was quite a regular, and
very easily accessible, said Hu-
dacek.
David Ridner, 20, of Strouds-
burg, looked up to Paterno. The
sophomore at PennState Wilkes-
Barre credited him with inspir-
ing him to go to school.
I wouldnt be here today if I
didnt have a role model, said
Ridner.
He and approximately 50 oth-
er students gathered in the cold
and snowon a landing in front of
one of the student apartment
buildings on campus for candle-
light vigil.
They stood holding candles
topped with plastic cups to pro-
tect the flames from the wind.
The vigil was silent because it
was the appropriate way to show
respect, said Alex Seasock, 20, a
junior from Plains Township
who organized the event.
Weve been standing out here
for 15 minutes. Im sure that Joe
appreciates that, he said to con-
clude the vigil.
Alumni of university mostly say they remember the man more than the legend

Ship stowaways a worry
U
nregistered passengers might have
been aboard the stricken cruise
liner that capsized off this Tuscan
island, a top rescue official said Sun-
day, raising the possibility that the
number of missing might be higher
than previously announced.
Divers, meanwhile, pulled out a
womans body from the capsized Costa
Concordia on Sunday, raising to 13 the
number of people dead in the Jan. 13
accident.
Civil protection official Francesca
Maffini told reporters the victim was
wearing a life vest and was found in the
rear of a submerged portion of a ship
by a team of fire department divers.
Earlier, Italian authorities raised the
possibility that the real number of the
missing was unknown because some
unregistered passengers might have
been aboard. As of Sunday, 19 people
are listed as missing.

Speech test for Obama
Vilified by the Republicans who want

stand before the nation Tuesday night
determined to frame the election-year
debate on his terms, promising his
State of the Union address will outline
a lasting economic recovery that will
work for everyone, not just a wealthy
few.
As his most powerful chance to make
a case for a second term, the prime-
time speech carries enormous political
stakes for the Democratic incumbent
who presides over a country divided
about his performance and pessimistic
about the nations direction. He will
offer a vision of fairness and opportuni-
ty for everyone.

U.S. envoy visits Kabul
The Taliban must promise to disas-

and affirm their desire to participate in
tentative talks on a political settlement
to the war in Afghanistan, a senior U.S.
official said on Sunday.
Marc Grossman, the U.S. special
envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan,
said during a visit to Kabul that Pakis-
tan also had to play a key role in any
peace talks, but sought to downplay
tensions stemming from Islamabads
decision not to allow Grossman to visit
Pakistan as planned.
Grossman said that once the Pakista-
ni parliament completes a review of
Islamabads badly strained relations
with Washington, I will be glad to
meet them anytime.

Cannabis to hit shelves
A quarter-century after the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration approved the
first prescription drugs based on the
main psychoactive ingredient in mari-
juana, additional medicines derived
from or inspired by the cannabis plant
itself could soon be making their way
to pharmacy shelves, according to drug
companies, small biotech firms and
university scientists.
A British company, GW Pharma, is in
advanced clinical trials for the worlds
first pharmaceutical developed from
raw 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
approval by the end of 2013.

WASHINGTON Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords of Arizona announced Sunday
she intends toresignfromCongress this
week to concentrate on recovering from
wounds suffered in an assassination at-
tempt a little more than a year ago that
shook the country.
I dont remember much from that
horrible day, but I will never forget the
trust youplacedinme to be your voice,
the Democratic lawmaker said on a vid-
eo posted without prior notice on her
Facebook page.
Imgettingbetter. Every day my spir-
it is high, shesaid. I havemoreworkto
do on my recovery. So to do whats best
for Arizona, I will step down this week.
Giffords was shot in the head and
grievously wounded last January as she
was meeting with constituents outside
a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz. Her pro-
gress had seemed remarkable, to the
point that she was able to walk dramat-
ically into the House chamber last Au-
gust to cast a vote.
Her shooting prompted an agonizing
national debate about super-charged
rhetoric in political campaigns, al-
thoughthe manchargedinthe shooting
later turned out to be mentally ill.
In Washington, members of Congress
were told to pay more attention to their
physical security. Legislation was intro-
ducedtobanhigh-capacity ammunition
clips, although it never advanced.
Under state law, Arizona Gov. Jan
Brewer must call a special electiontofill
out the remainder of Giffords term.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, said he saluted Giffords for her
service and for the courage and persev-
erance she has shown in the face of trag-
edy. She will be missed.
In a statement, House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi of California said
that since the tragic events one year
ago, Gabby has been an inspiring sym-
bol of determinationandcouragetomil-
lions of Americans.
Democratic officials had held out
hope for months that the congresswo-
man might recover sufficiently to run
for re-election or even become a candi-
date to replace retiring Republican Sen.
Jon Kyl.
The shooting on Jan. 8, 2011, left six
people dead, a federal judge and a Gif-
fords aide among them. Twelve others
were wounded.
A23-year-oldman, JaredLee Loughn-
er has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges
in the shooting. He has been diagnosed
with bipolar disorder, and is being for-
cibly medicated at a Missouri prison fa-
cility in an effort by authorities to make
him mentally ready for trial.

BEIRUT A clash between
Syrian forces and army defectors
erupted Sunday in a suburb of the
tightly held capital of Damascus,
adding urgency just as the Arab
League was extending an observ-
ers missionthat sofar hasfailedto
end long months of bloody vio-
lence.
Thetwoevents outlinedhowan
uprising against President Bashar
Assad that started with mass pop-
ular protests is moving now to-
ward an armed conflict that could
draw international intervention
an outcome the Arab League is
trying to avoid.
Arab League foreign ministers,
meeting in Cairo, extended the
much-criticizedobserversmission
for another month, according to a
statement fromthe22-member or-
ganization.
The League decided to add
more observers and provide them
with additional resources, the offi-
cials said.
The observer mission is sup-
posed to be the first step toward
implementing an Arab League
plan to end the Syria crisis. Other
points are pulling heavy Syrian
weapons out of cities, stopping at-
tacks on protesters, opening talks
with the opposition and allowing
foreign human rights workers and
journalists in.
There is partial progress in the
implementation of the promises,
Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby
said in Cairo about Syrias imple-
mentation of the plan. Syria did
not carry out all its promises, al-
though there are some implemen-
tation of pledges.
He added that the use of ex-
treme force by Syrian forces has
led to a reaction by the opposition
in what could lead to civil war.
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheik
Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jabr Al
Thani told reporters after the
meeting that the Arab League was
launching a newinitiative to solve
the crisis in which the Syrian gov-
ernment andtheoppositionwould
form a unity government within
two weeks to lead the country
through a transitional period in
whichelections wouldbeheldand
a newconstitution written.
It was seen as highly unlikely
that Syrianauthorities or the lead-
ers of Syrias scattered opposition
would agree to such a plan.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-
Faisal saidhis countrywill pull out
its observers because the Syrian
government did not implement
the Arab plan.

WASHINGTON Stung by a South
Carolina setback that cappeda badweek,
Mitt Romney said he would release his
tax returns Tuesday in hopes of ending a
campaign distraction while revived rival
Newt Gingrich said he was the strongest
Republican to go toe to toe with Presi-
dent Barack Obama.
Rick Santorum, third in the South Car-
olina vote, maintained he was the lone
consistent conservative left in the race
andpledgedtokeepcampaigninginFlor-
ida, next on the calendar with its Jan. 31
primary, and beyond.
The newly scrambledpresidential con-
test shifted to Florida after Gingrich
stopped Romneys sprint to the nomina-
tion with a convincing victory in the first-
in-the South primary. For now, that re-
moved the air of inevitability that sur-
rounded Romneys candidacy. But Flor-
ida is larger, more diverse and more ex-
pensive, and brings new
challenges for Gingrich.
Once again, he must show
he can overcome financial
and organizational disad-
vantages, as he did in
South Carolina.
One of the reasons I think people in
South Carolina voted for me was a belief
that I could debate Obama head to head,
that I could convey conservative values,
saidGingrichas the candidates made the
rounds of the Sunday talk shows.
I think we hadbetter be preparedfor a
toughcampaign, whoever we nominate,
the former House speaker said.
Romney said it was not a good week
for me and cited all the time he had
spent talking about his tax returns as his
rivals pressed him to make them public
before his promised date in April.
After months of resistance, Romney
had said last week that he would release
tax information for 2011, but not until
close to the tax filing deadline. That also
was seen as a time, before the South Car-
olina race, when the GOP nomination
might have been decided.
I thinkwe just made a mistake inhold-
ing off as long as we did. It just was a dis-
traction, said Romney, a former Massa-
chusetts governor and venture capitalist.
Romney disclosed last week that, de-
spite his wealth of hundreds of millions
of dollars, he has been paying in the
neighborhood of 15 percent, far below
the top maximum income tax rate of 35
percent.
Santorum, who beat Romney and Gin-
grich in leadoff Iowa, scoffed at the sug-
gestionhemight leavetheracesoconser-
vatives could rally behind Gingrich
against Romney.
The idea that conservatives have to
coalesce in order to beat Mitt Romney,
well, thats just not true anymore. Con-
servatives actually can have a choice. We
dont have to rush to judgment, he said.

SANAA, YemenYemenspresident left
his battered nation on Sunday, his spokes-
man said, after delivering a farewell speech
inwhichhe askedfor forgiveness andsaidit
was time to hand over power.
But inasignthat Ali AbdullahSalehsrole
as a power broker in Yemeni affairs may be
far fromover, hesaidhewouldseekmedical
care in the United States, then return to Ye-
men before presidential elections next
month to head his ruling
party.
A senior Obama ad-
ministration official says
Yemens outgoing leader
has beenclearedtocome
to the U.S. for a limited
time for medical treat-
ment. The official, who
was not authorized to discuss details and
spokeonconditionof anonymity, didnotsay
whenSalehwouldarrive. Salehrequesteda
visasohecouldtravel totheU.S. last month.
Despite signing a deal last year to pass
powers to his vice president, Saleh has con-
tinued to exercise authority behind the
scenes, sparking accusations he sought to
clingtopower. Meanwhile, al-Qaidahas tak-
en advantage of Yemens political instability
to enlarge its foothold in the Arab worlds
poorest nation.
Presidential spokesman Ahmed al-Soufi
saidSalehleft Sundayfor Oman. He didnot
say howlong Saleh would be in Oman, and
said Saleh would make another stop before
going to the U.S.
Salehsdeparturecouldhelppushforward
a U.S.-backeddeal brokeredby Yemens Per-
sian Gulf neighbors. In the deal, Saleh
agreed to pass power to his deputy in ex-
changeforimmunityfromprosecution. Vice
President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi is to
be rubber-stamped as the countrys new
leader inpresidential elections onFeb. 21in
which he is expected to be the only candi-
date.

He says its time to turn over power,
but plans to return to lead his ruling

that Wielgosz has not been pro-
vided. The city maintains the
statements do not exist because
there was no balance due; there-
fore no statement was generated.
Wielgosz andRauparesuspicious
of the claim, however, because a
review of the documents shows
inconsistenciesinthestatements.
For instance, the city provided
a statement for Murphys card
dated Feb. 4, 2004 that showed a
balance of $432.44. The next
statement provided was for April
4, 2004, which showed a balance
of $0. If there was a payment
made in March as the April
statement indicates -- a statement
should have been generated
showingthat, Wielgosz contends.
The city says the March state-
ment does not exist, however. Nu-
merous other statements show
the same pattern.
As you look at the statements,
there are gaps, said Raup, who
has aided Wielgosz in filing the
Right toKnowappeal. Youknow
if nothing else, the statement
should show a payment re-
ceived.
Wielgosz said he sought infor-
mation on the cards because he
wanted to knowhowthe city was
spending money. In analyzing
charges, he was stunned to learn
that a combined total of more
than $112,000 in travel-related ex-
penses had been charged on the
four cards over the past seven
years
People have a right to know
where their money is going. I
dont care if its $30, he said.
Getting that information has
been a time-consuming and frus-
trating endeavor, he said.
Todays hearing is the latest le-
gal action Wielgosz has taken re-
garding the dispute. He first had
to file an appeal with the states
Office of Open Records, which in
September ordered the city to
contact Bankof Americatoobtain
statements it claimed were not in
its possession, but that might be
held by the bank.
Wielgosz alleges the city has in-
tentionally delayedrespondingto
his requests.
They push everything till the
last day, he said. If you have
nothing to hide, why put resi-
dents through the aggravation?
City Clerk Ryan, the citys
Right to Know officer, said he
works as quickly as possible to re-
spond to requests, but its becom-
ing increasingly difficult because
the office has been inundated
with requests the past few
months. Most of the records be-
ing sought are not electronically
stored.
Records are in storage at the
Department of Public Works and
are in remote locations. I have to
go through boxes, he said. We
take each request seriously. The
public has a right to know. But I
have other responsibilities in the
office. It makes it difficult when
we get inundated with requests.
Wielgosz said he hopes todays
hearingresolves thematter. Inad-
dition to the records, hes seeking
to recoup $140 in court fees and
other expenses he has incurred.

insurance package offered to all
City Hall employees, while La-
velle and Brown take the $200 per
month medical buyout. George
and Barrett dont accept any
health coverage.
Leighton takes health insur-
ance; Kane takes the buyout.
Leighton, Merritt and Lavelle
take dental and vision coverage.
Kane, Brown, George and Barrett
do not.
Barrett, a retired city police
chief, does not participate in the
pension plan offered to council
members. The other council
members doparticipate. Leighton
andKane alsoparticipate ina pen-
sion plan.
Officials elected since 2001 are
eligible to receive a pension after
serving at least 12 years. Prior to
2001, vesting occurred after 10
years of service.
The pension payment is 50 per-
cent of salary after either the 10
years or12 years of service, andre-
cipients must be 62 years of age to
qualify.
All of these benefits are at tax-
payers expense.
The city budget shows the 2012
expenditure for councils medical
coverage jumped from $13,500 in
2011 to $73,116. Drew McLaugh-
lin, the citys administrative coor-
dinator, said the number is for
budgeting purposes only. He said
the budget was prepared in Octo-
ber, before the November elec-
tion, and without knowing who
wouldbeoncouncil andwhat ben-
efits those members would take.
Compensation questioned
The compensation package
along with what critics contend is
excessive travel at the public ex-
pense -- has come under fire in re-
cent months. At council meetings,
several people have questioned
the need for the expenses and
have asked council to eliminate or
at least reduce the compensation
package.
CharlotteRaup, president of the
Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch Coali-
tion and a volunteer with the
groupfor 20years, saideverymea-
sure possible should be taken to
rein in city spending.
Everybody in the country is
tightening their belts, Raup said.
Wehavetoget ridof all nonessen-
tial spending, and city govern-
ment would be a good place to
start.
Raup said an elected official is a
public servant and should not ex-
pect thesamebenefits giveninthe
privatesector. Shesaiditstimefor
council members to help out.
Thats what the city council in
York did.
York is a city almost identical in
population to Wilkes-Barre, with
just over 40,000 residents. The
city has been facing financial diffi-
cultyinrecent years, andthecoun-
cil there took action.
According to Dianna Thomp-
son, Yorks city clerk, city council
approved a resolution effective in
2014 that will eliminate pension
and health care benefits now of-
fered.
It was done as an effort to re-
duce the burden to taxpayers and
to help ease the budget difficul-
ties, Thompson said. Our coun-
cil wants to do what it can to help
out.
The mayor of York receives
$72,500 per year, andeachcouncil
member gets $10,000 that figure
hasnt been increased since 1996.
Thompson said the council presi-
dent had been receiving an extra
$500, but that was stopped.
The York city controller is paid
$20,000 per year, she said.
In Scranton, a city larger than
Wilkes-Barre and in financial dis-
tress, elected officials are paid
less. Scrantons 2012 budget is
around $75 million, compared to
Wilkes-Barres $44.8 million.
No benefits in Scranton
Scranton City Council mem-
bers arepaid$12,500per year each
withnobenefits. InHazleton, coun-
cil members are paid $3,850 per
year with no benefits, and the may-
or receives $57,881.
Scranton Mayor Chris Dohertys
salary is $81,085, about $2,000
more thanLeightons. Leightonhas
not taken a salary increase in five
years.
Wilkes-Barre council members
offered explanations why they
chose to accept benefits.
Merritt works at InterMetro and
he opted to take the citys health in-
surance plan.
Itsabetter plan, hesaidinjusti-
fying his decision. He declined fur-
ther comment.George said he par-
ticipates inthe pensionplan, but he
doesnt expect to serve 12 years on
council to make himeligible to col-
lect.
Imsurprisedhowmuchworkis
involved, George said. I get calls
every day and I respond. But thats
what were supposed to be doing.
Weresupposedtobea voicefor the
people, to listen to their concerns
and to resolve them.
Barrett and Brown declined to
comment on the benefits, and La-
velledidnot returnamessageleft at
her home. Nate Benefield, director
of policy analysis at the Common-
wealth Foundation Public Policy
Center inHarrisburg, saiditsnot so
much an issue of whether munici-
palities should offer these plans to
elected officials.
These are part-time positions,
Benefieldsaid. What is the actual
time commitment?
He said many municipalities
facing financial difficulties should
be looking at their compensation
when making cuts.
Budgets have to be balanced,
he said. Taxes will be raised and
services cut.

Some Luzerne County offi-
cials want toexplore usingValley
Crest Nursing Home in Plains
Township to house non-judicial
offices.
The county put the property
back on the market a year ago af-
ter a buyer pulled out, but no
purchase offers have come in, of-
ficials said.
I think it would be a fantastic
government center, said county
council Chairman Jim Bobeck.
County Controller Walter
Griffith also suggested the reuse
to council during a budget ses-
sionlast week, sayingit wouldbe
easier to sell the Penn Place
building in downtown Wilkes-
Barre if non-court offices in that
building were moved to Valley
Crest.
Renovating Valley Crest for
government offices would cost
money, but it would also yield
savings from centralizing offices
and eliminating unnecessary
overhead, Bobeck said.
If offices in the same division
are not under one roof, there is
no way the efficiencies and con-
solidation could be fully execut-
ed, Bobeck said.
The relocation would also free
up space in the courthouse for ju-
dicial-related offices and cour-
trooms, he said.
For example, the new judicial
services andrecords divisioncre-
ated by home rule will cover ser-
vices performed by several offic-
es that no longer have elected
row officers under home rule:
clerk of courts, coroner, protho-
notary, recorder of deeds, regis-
ter of wills and sheriff.
The sheriff and deeds offices
are in the county-owned cour-
thouse annex on River Street
near the courthouse. The coro-
ner and wills offices are in Penn
Place, also county-owned, at the
corner of Pennsylvania Avenue
and Market Street. The clerk of
courts and prothonotary have
separate offices in the cour-
thouse.
Located together in the cour-
thouse, these judicial-related of-
fices could cross-train staff and
share workloads and supplies,
Bobeck said.
Four courtrooms and the Pub-
lic Defenders Office are in Penn
Place when they should be in the
courthouse, Bobeck said.
Several non-court offices
could be moved out of the cour-
thouse, he said, including the
county administration, treasurer
and assessors.
The budget and finance, trea-
surer and assessment offices
should be located together be-
cause they are in the newbudget
and financial services division,
Bobeck said.
Valley Crest also may have
enough room to hold county re-
cords, which could eliminate the
expense of leasing or purchasing
space, he said.
County Chief Engineer Joe
Gibbons said he would recom-
menda feasibility study to assess
options to renovate the building
and the projected costs and sav-
ings. The structure, built in the
1950s and 60s, has several wings
and is not equipped with central
air conditioning, he said.
The county has about $23 mil-
lion in capital bond funding in
the bank, though it has been ear-
marked for a lengthy list of pro-
jects, including courthouse res-
toration, Gibbons said.
Projects would have to be al-
tered or canceled to free up mon-
ey for Valley Crest work. The
council is also considering tak-
ing $2 million from this pot to
help repay debt and reduce the
number of layoffs in 2012.
Valley Crest was listed for sale
in early 2011 after the Salvation
Army backed out of its plan to
buy the Plains Township proper-
ty for $4.7 million. The organiza-
tion was unable to secure a zon-
ing variance needed to open an
adult rehabilitation center.
Minimum bids for the 62.35-
acre property were set at the
propertys fair market value of
$4.136 million.
The lawrequires the county to
seek the appraised value. If there
are no offers at that amount, a
prospective buyer would have to
obtain an appraisal and then
work with the county appraiser
on a compromise.
The nursing home operator,
Complete Health Care, vacated
Valley Crest in 2010 after build-
ing a new facility nearby.
Past county commissioners
discussed the possibility of turn-
ing the courthouse into a judi-
cial-only building in the past, but
some officials expressedconcern
about removing the presence of
all other county operations from
the historic structure.
The new 11-member county
council has been meeting in the
county Emergency Management
Agency building near the prison
on Water Street in Wilkes-Barre
because the courthouse meeting
room used by the former three-
person commissioner board is
too small.
County looks at Valley Crest property for space
Some officials feel former
nursing home could house
non-judicial offices.

LOS ANGELES Philip
Vannatter, the Los Angeles po-
lice detective who served as a
lead investigator in the 1994
murders of Nicole Brown Simp-
son and Ronald Goldman, has
died in Southern California, ac-
cording to his brother. He was
70.
Vannatter died Friday at a
Santa Clarita hospital of com-
plications from cancer, his
brother Joe Vannatter told The
Associated Press on Sunday.
He was among the first detec-
tives on the scene at former
football star O.J. Simpsons
mansion in June 1994, after the
stabbing deaths of Simpsons
wife, Nicole, and her friend Ron
Goldman. Vannatter testified at
the murder trial, at whichSimp-
son was acquitted.
In1977, Vannatter conducted
the investigation that led to the
arrest of film director Roman
Polanski on charges he drugged
and had unlawful sex with a 13-
year-old girl.
A 28-year veteran with the
LAPD, where he spent most of
his career as a homicide detec-
tive, Vannatter retired from the
force in 1995 but continued on
as a consultant for cold-case
murders.
He was a very devoteddetec-
tive, Joe Vannatter said, add-
ing his brother worked about
250 murder cases in his career.
The last time I sawhimhe had
gotten a call from LAPD that
they solved a homicide he was
involved in 30 years ago. He
took great pride in that.
Vannatter arrested Polanski
in the lobby of the Beverly Wil-
shire hotel in Beverly Hills,
kicking off an
international
legal saga that
escalated
when the di-
rector fled to
France after
he was con-
victed. As he
put the cuffs on, Vannatter said
he found Polanski was clutch-
ing a Quaalude, the drug he was
accused of giving his young vic-
tim.
Vannatter had planned to re-
tire in late 1994 but instead
spent more than a year in the
middle of the Simpson trial.
Along with fellow detective
Mark Furman, Vannatters
name often featured in head-
lines and his face was a com-
monsight oncable news shows.
Defense lawyers took aim at
Vannatters truthfulness, sug-
gesting police set out to get
Simpson as soon as his ex-wife
was found slain.
The defense argued that the
search of Simpsons estate was
illegal and that all evidence
seized including a bloody
glove, bloody socks and bloody
drops should be thrown out.
Onthe witness stand, Vannat-
ter sharply defended the ac-
tions of detectives at the crime
scene. Two judges upheld the
search on the basis of Vannat-
ters and other detectives testi-
mony that they were trying to
inform Simpson of the death
and that it became an emergen-
cy after blood was discovered
on Simpsons Bronco and they
feared people in Simpsons
house might be injured.
Joe Vannatter said his broth-
er took the spotlight and the
criticisms that came withthe
Simpson trial in stride.
He was very upbeat and he
knew he did the right thing,
Joe Vannatter said about his
brothers involvement in the
case. He had such thick skin.

DETROIT The federal gov-
ernment now says a 101-year-old
Detroit womanit promisedcould
move back into her foreclosed
home four months ago cant re-
turn because the buildings un-
sanitary and unsafe.
Texana Hollis was evicted
Sept. 12 and her belongings
placed outside after her 65-year-
old son failed to pay property tax-
es linked to a reverse mortgage
and the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment foreclosed on the home.
Twodays later, the department
said she could return. But now,
HUDsaidit wont let Hollis move
back in because of the houses
condition.
She had lived there about 60
years.
Here I am, 100 years old, and
dont have a home, Hollis said,
rounding off her age. Oh Lord,
help me.
Department spokesman Brian
Sullivan told The Detroit News
that an inspection determined
the house was completely un-
suitable for a person to live in.
We cant allow someone to
live in that (atmosphere) now
that we are essentially the own-
ers of theproperty, Sullivansaid.
The home isnt safe; its not
sanitary. Its certainly not suita-
ble for anyone to live in, especial-
ly not a 101-year-old mother.
HUDdoesnt want to pay to fix
up the house, but Sullivan said
the department is seeking other
agencies that might helpwiththe
work and get Hollis back into her
home.
Were not giving up, Sullivan
said.
Were talking with anybody
and everybody about solutions to
this situation, but the condition
of the property is a challenge.
After hearing about her long-
time friends eviction, Pollian
Cheeks, 68, offered Hollis a room
at her home within a mile of Hol-
lis house.
Hollis, who once taught
Cheeks in Sunday school at St.
Philips Lutheran Church, agreed
to the invitation and has been
staying at Cheeks house in the
meantime.
Pollys just as nice to me as
anybodycouldbe. Shegoes out of
her way to help me, Hollis said,
holding back tears.
Its just likelivingat home, but
its not my home.
Holliss son took out the re-
verse mortgage for the $32,000
assessed value of the property, an
option that HUD permits for the
elderly.
HUD took control of the mort-
gage after the amount paid to the
family exceeded the value of the
house in 2006.
Woman, 101,
told she cant
return home
HUD says home that was
foreclosed on is not suitable
for anyone to live in.

Editorial
The day will come when the
senators who forced this move will
realize they made a knee-jerk
reaction to a monumental
problem.
Patrick Leahy
Vermonts Democratic senator was disappointed congressional leaders
decided Friday to postpone a test vote planned for Tuesday on online
piracy legislation.
HERE IS an experiment
you are guaranteed to
love. Researchers asked
top-notch violinists at an
international competition
to play some instruments
and judge their quality.
But the violinists vision was obscured, so
they couldnt see which violin was a 300-
year-old Stradivarius worth millions and
which were just good contemporary in-
struments.
Thrillingly, the experts thought they
could tell them apart by playing but really
had no idea. In fact, the Strad was their
least preferred instrument.
These results are consistent with find-
ings about wine. In blind tastings, experts
and consumers alike are for the most part
unable to distinguish expensive wines
from cheap ones. Wine specialists, more-
over, repeatedly have shown that their
judgments are susceptible to what theyve
been told about a wines price.
I love these studies, dont you? They
make the experts look like bozos, after all,
and they make me feel better about being
a cheapskate. Theres nothing more up-
lifting than the sight of a naked emperor
revealed in all his foolish glory.
But lets not get carried away. A musi-
cian I know had a viola appraised a few
years back at $40,000, and another valued
at $400,000. When she played them both
for me to see if I could appreciate the
difference, I was skeptical, but it turned
out that I could. The costlier, older in-
strument had a richer sound. But the dif-
ference wasnt huge, and the cost of this
relatively modest improvement (to my tin
ear) was staggering.
My friend is a world-class musician who
can justify the expense. Besides, scarce
old instruments hers is from 1680 have
been good investments over the past 30
years, so ultimately shell probably come
out ahead.
Yet I cant stop focusing on what a small
gain was purchased at 10 times the ex-
pense. Too often we allow ourselves to be
tyrannized by what Freud called the nar-
cissism of small differences, which either
dont exist or arent large enough to justify
their great cost. This applies to much of
what we buy.
We might be happier not obsessing as
much over which is the very best pair of
earbuds or which luxury car has a few
more horsepower. In fact, hunting rest-
lessly for the very best of anything, in-
cluding the absolutely optimal cup of
coffee, violin or even spouse, is usually a
terrible idea. This behavior is known in
the social sciences as maximizing, and
researchers have shown that its a great
way to make yourself miserable. Much
better to find something thats quite good
enough and call it a day.
Its also much cheaper. Leaving aside
the cost of searching, most things are
subject to the 80-20 rule, which states
roughly that 20 percent of inputs account
for 80 percent of outputs. In other words,
beyond a certain point, a relatively small
improvement in anything will cost you
way too much.
You can make a lot of hay by embracing
this rule, which comes to us from an econ-
omist named Vilfredo Pareto. In business,
for example, youd eliminate product lines
that produce only 20 percent of profits yet
consume 80 percent of your effort. And
youd shoo away customers who take up
80 percent of your time in exchange for
just 20 percent of sales.
I find the 80-20 rule quite comforting, in
that it suggests theres no need for great
wealth, just as I find the recent violin
study quite comforting, for it implies that
violinists neednt worry if they cant afford
a Stradivarius.
My friend, incidentally, is skeptical of
the study, arguing that a violin might
sound one way to a player under the ear,
but quite another to the audience in a
concert hall. Maybe. But the more impor-
tant question is whether the difference
even matters.
Cheapskates rejoice: Fancy labels rarely justify the cost

RAN SEEMS INTENT on
pushing forward with its
nuclear programandthere
seems to be no surefire
way of stopping it.
It has been five years since
the United Nations Security
Council first demanded that
Iran cease enriching uranium.
But the Islamic Republic con-
tinues to defy international
pressure.
The imminent openingof the
new enrichment site further
complicates a military option.
Since the new facility is buried
deep underground at a well-de-
fendedmilitary site, it is consid-
ered far more resistant to air
strikes.
And even if a military strike
against Iraniannuclear facilities
succeeded, the geopolitical fal-
lout is liable to be nightmarish,
although the prospect of a nu-
clear Iran is no less of a night-
mare.
Covert actions, in contrast,
carrymuchless of arisk, but are
also less effective. For instance,
the assassination of Mostafa
Ahmadi Roshan, director of the
Natanz uraniumenrichment fa-
cility, undoubtedly dealt a blow
to Irans nuclear program.
Economic sanctions, mean-
while, have so far not changed
Iranian nuclear policy, though
theyhavecausedsomedamage.
Acombinationof covert oper-
ations, economic sanctions and
diplomatic pressure, while at
the same time keeping the mil-
itary option on the table, is
the only way to convince Teh-
ran to back down. And main-
taining a broad coalition of
countries behind the sanctions
is the best way to make themef-

EFUSING A woman
information about
the sex of her fetus is
the wrong way for
Canadatotrytostopatrendto-
wardsex-selectedabortions if
in fact there is such a trend.
But this is precisely the ap-
proachurgedbyRajendraKale,
interim editor of the Canadian
Medical Association Journal.
Citing research that suggests
Asian immigrants to Canada
abort female fetuses, hoping to
instead conceive a boy, Kale
has called for a ban on disclos-
ing the sex of the fetus until 30
weeks intoa pregnancy. At that
point, abortions are harder to
obtain.
The problem behind sex-se-
lected abortions is cultural,
and the solution to it must also
be cultural. Changing beliefs
that denigrate the worth of
women and girls is a difficult
proposition, but it is the only
approach worth trying. Manip-
ulating information so that
people cant act on such belief
is an effort that is doomed to
fail.
Canada places equal value
on men and women. It is op-
posed to practices such as sex-
selected abortion. We need to
make sure that this message is
heard by all Canadians.
Women being coerced to
abort is a real problem. If we
want an end to sex-selected
abortion, helpingwomenresist

far better place to start.

IGURES FOR Decem-

High inflation has raised the

the Consumer Prices Index

The drop is thanks mainly to

President again urged to
approve oil pipeline
T
he price of gasoline has jumped sub-
stantially over the last couple of weeks.
Remarkably, President Obamas re-
sponse has been to again delay the approv-
al of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Once approved and built, this pipeline
will bring Canadian crude oil to our refin-
eries in the Gulf Coast, which will increase
the supply of oil and lower the prices we
pay at the pump. President Obama must
stop delaying this project based on the
protests of a vocal minority. These groups
of anti-exploration activists are demanding
more government reviews of the pipeline
under the pretense of environmental con-
cerns.
The State Department and the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency already have
reviewed and studied this project for years.
Both found that the impacts to the envi-
ronment would be negligible. What is not
negligible is the cost of delay.
Time and again our country allows the
opportunity of energy freedom to slip
between our fingers. We must grasp the
opportunity of energy independence. The
president can do that by finally approving
construction of this pipeline.

Naval expert questions
cruise ship operations
A
s a former naval officer and qualified
marine navigator and instructor, I have
questions concerning the grounding of
the cruise ship Costa Concordia off the
coast of Italy.
Was the captain on the bridge exercising
control of the ship? If so, why was the ship
so close to the rocks? If not, who was on
the bridge conning the ship? What are his
or her qualifications? Was there a maritime
pilot on the bridge? The most dangerous
period in peacetime for a ship under way is
when it is leaving and entering port or
traversing in proximity to land. This is
when you have to be on full alert.
Why did the Costa Concordia reportedly
hold emergency evacuation drills only
once every 15 days? During a 15-day period
the ship would normally visit a number of
ports and embark new passengers. A drill
should be held prior to leaving every port.
The maritime industry should evaluate
the viability of lifeboat systems that fail
when a ship takes on a significant list that
makes it very difficult or impossible to
launch lifeboats.
More attention must be paid to the safe-
ty of passengers and crew.

He died as he lived. He fought
hard until the end, stayed posi-
tive, thought only of others and
constantly reminded everyone
of how blessed his life had
been. His ambitions were far-
reaching, but he never believed
he had to leave this Happy
Valley to achieve them. He was
a man devoted to his family, his
university, his players and his
community. Paterno family.
His legacy as the winningest
coach in major college football
and his generosity to Penn
State as an institution and to
his players, stand as monu-

Whenever you recruited or

will be felt
permanently.
That is the legacy of a great

he taught were carried out in
the handling of his situation.

was a lot more far-reaching

everyone of how blessed his
life had been. His ambitions
were far reaching, but he never
believed he had to leave this
Happy Valley to achieve them.
He was a man devoted to his
family, his university, his players
and his community.
Paterno leaves behind five
children, 17 grandchildren and
thousands of former players
who viewed him as family.
We will always be team-
mates, Paterno told his squad
inhis final meetingwiththemin
November.
His life has ended, but Pater-
nos final chapter remains large-
ly unknown. His six decades of
service to Penn State as a foot-
ball coach, an educator and a
philanthropist stand against a
stunning end in the wake of sex-
ual abusechargesagainst hisfor-
mer top assistant.
The truth is that the full story
isknownonlytoasmall few, and
many were still waiting to hear
more of Paternos side. More, at
least, than the brief few com-
ments he made last weektoThe
Washington Post, saying he
wasnt entirely sure howto han-
dle the situation.
Given that, just 74 days after
he was firedby PennState, opin-
ion on Paterno remains divided.
As he did throughout his Hall
of Fame coaching career, Pater-
no received tremendous sup-
port fromhis former players and
the Penn State football family.
Were the men we are today
because of Joe Paterno all of
us, said Devon Still, the 79th
and final first-team All-Ameri-
can to play for Paterno.
Penn State is one of college
footballs iconic programs be-
cause it was led by an icon in
the coaching profession in Joe
Paterno, said Bill OBrien, the
man tasked with replacing Pa-
terno. There are no words to
express my respect for him as a
man and as a coach. To be fol-
lowing in his footsteps at Penn
State is an honor.
Paterno arrived in State Col-
lege in 1950 after graduating
from Brown University, cajoled
by his college coach, Rip Engle,
to join him as an assistant with
the Nittany Lions.
In1966, Paterno took over for
Engle and helped transform the
university into a household
name on and off the field, win-
ning national championships in
1982 and 1986 and finishing his
career with a Division I record
409 victories.
For the time being, however,
thePennStatenameis still asso-
ciatedwithahorrificchildabuse
scandal. That cloud also lingers
over Paterno as the schools
most famous representative.
He was never charged with a
crime in an investigation that
brought 52 counts of abuse of
children against Jerry Sandusky
and allegations of a cover-up by
top university officials.
Paterno did not fare as well in
the court of public opinion, be-
ginning with the state police
commissioner. Frank Noonan
stated his belief in November
that Paterno and others had a
moral obligation to call police
about an alleged sexual assault
committed by Sandusky in 2002.
That was the beginning of a cir-
cus-like atmosphere that engulfed
PaternoandState College, leading
to the coachannouncing his retire-
ment onNov. 9, effectiveat theend
of the season.
It is one of the great sorrows of
my life, Paterno said in a state-
ment that morning. Withthe ben-
efit of hindsight, I wish I had done
more.
Twelve hours later, he was fired
by the schools board of trustees.
Paterno was prevented from
speaking at his normal press con-
ference the day before and little of
his side of the story is known.
Most dominant is a summary of
a grand jury investigation that
says Paterno was told of the al-
leged 2002 incident by an eyewit-
ness, then-graduate assistant
Mike McQueary.
Paterno, who had said he was
never told specific details about
what exactly McQueary saw,
took the matter to athletic direc-
tor Tim Curley and senior vice
president Gary Schultz, who
oversaw the universitys police
department.
Both men have since pleaded
not guilty to counts of perjury
and failure to report abuse of mi-
nors.
In his last public comments,
made last week to The Washing-
tonPost, Paternosaidhewas hes-
itant to follow up on his meeting
with Curley and Schultz because
he was worriedit wouldbe seenas
exerting his influence.
I didnt knowwhichwaytogo,
Paterno said. And rather than get
in there and make a mistake ...
Paterno finished the interview
the morning of Jan. 13. Later that
day, he was admitted to the hospi-
tal for the final time. His cancer di-
agnosis had been revealed by the
family on Nov. 18 and he returned
to the hospital in December after
breaking his pelvis in a fall at his
home.
The visits for medical care had
beenincreasinginrecent years, be-
causeas thewins kept pilingupfor
Paterno in the following years, so
did the ailments.
From 2005-09, Penn State went
51-13, putting the Lions in the top
10 in the country during that
stretch. But Paterno wasnt on the
sideline for a handful of those vic-
tories.
Asideline collisionat Wisconsin
in 2006 broke his left leg and dam-
aged ligaments in his knee, briefly
forcing him into a wheelchair.
In 2008, he managed to break
his right hip at an early-season
practice while demonstrating, of
all things, an onside kick. Despite
becoming increasingly hobbled
each week, eventually conceding
hisspot onthesidelinetorest upin
the coaches booth, he refused the
inevitable surgery until after the
regular season.
He followed a similar pattern in
2011 after injuring his other hip in
preseason practice when he was
blindsided by a receiver trying to
track down a pass. Though he
tried to work his way back down
ontothesideline, hewouldlast for
just a few quarters before adjourn-
ing upstairs.
Before his cancer diagnosis, he
battled colds and coughs and even
a flu that forced him off the field
during the middle of a game. He
had Lasik surgery performed on
his long-afflicted eyesight.
By the summer of 2010, a gaunt
Paterno appeared at Big Ten
mediadaysinChicagoafter having
to cancel alumni fundraising ap-
pearances because of digestive
problems.
Hewas promptlyaskedif hewas
going to coach until the day he
died.
Well?
People ask me why Ive stayed
here so long, a healthier Paterno
bellowed three months later to a
still-packedBeaver Stadiumcrowd
that was hanging around to cele-
brate his 400th career win. And
you know what? Look around.
Look around.
I stayedhere because I love you
all!
The message was as much for
his players, who had carried him
off the sideline on their shoulders
one final time that October eve-
ning. It was for a loyal group of as-
sistant coaches who had stuck
with him through four out of five
losing seasons from 2000-04.
When school administrators sat
downwithhimafter that 2004sea-
son to gauge his willingness to re-
tire, Paterno responded that he
need only be able to keep his staff
together, and the wins would fol-
low.
As it turned out, he was right.
Paterno was especially proud of
his 2005squadthat put PennState
back in the national spotlight with
an11-1record, a Big Ten title and a
triple-overtime win in the Orange
Bowl.
That team featured the same
coaching staff as the previous sea-
son and a group of dynamic fresh-
men giving an extra spark to some
talented seniors.
It was oneof thoseseniors, Tam-
baHali, whopoppedintoPaternos
head while telling stories before
that 2007 Hall of Fame induction.
A meeting with Hali from two
months earlier was still freshinhis
mind.
Hali had walked into Paternos
Lasch Building office, prompting
a smile and a playful jab from his
old coach.
What the devil are you doing
here? Paterno asked.
Hali, a first-round draft pick of
the Kansas City Chiefs, replied
simply that it was his teams bye
week.
Whaddya want? Paterno
joked. Every time I see you, you
want something.
I dont want anything, Hali
answered. I just want totell youI
miss you.
Paterno finished the story,
pausing to compose himself.
Now, he said finally. Does
that mean something?
His voice cracked. He drifted
off.

After Penn State had four losing seasons in five years from2000-2004, school administrators sat down with Joe Paterno to gauge his willingness to retire. Paterno
said he could still win and in 2005 the Lions went 11-1. Here, Joe Paterno is seen running onto the field at the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, 2006 after that season.

Which was only
fitting.
Because right to the end, Paterno
was a winner.
It was more than his 409 career
victories, 24 bowl victories, five
undefeated seasons and two nation-
al championships that put Paterno
on a pedestal at Penn State Uni-

It was the way he attained them
that made himso revered.
I believe the inspiration comes
fromjust his overall style, said
Harry Hamilton, a former Nanticoke
Area and NFL star defensive back
who played under Paterno at Penn
State from1980-83. His approach
makes you, or causes you, to turn
and push your own buttons.
Even after Penn State pushed him
aside in the wake of the Jerry Sand-
usky scandal, Paterno was still
preaching about doing things the
right way. It is the only way Paterno
believed in, right up until he passed

attention to the small details.
He built young men from the
inside out. Hes famous for say-

Views of Paterno from those who knew him
Former Penn State star Lydell
Mitchell visited Joe Paterno
about a week anda half ago, hop-
ing to get just a moment withhis
ailing coach.
After an emotional hour and a
half, Mitchell said goodbye and
told Paterno that he would al-
ways have the support of his
players.
I said, Hey, man, we love
you. Well fight the fight for
him, Mitchell said Sunday after
Paterno died at age 85.
Joes legacy will always be in-
tact because we wont let Joes
legacy die, said Mitchell, who
played running back at Penn
State from1968-72.
Paterno won more games
(409) than any coach in major
college football history during
46 seasons at Penn State.
I think history will say that
hes one of the greatest, former
Florida State coach Bobby Bow-
den, secondonthe wins list, told
The Associated Press. Whos
coached longer? Whos coached
better? Whos won more games?
Whos been more successful
than Joe? Whos done more for
his university than Joe?
Sports figures by the hun-
dreds, including many Penn
State alumni, and fans by the
thousands paid tribute to Pater-
no after the longtime coach died
from complications of lung can-
cer less than three months after
he was ousted amid a child sex
abuse scandal involving one of
his former assistants.
Its just sadbecause I thinkhe
died fromother things than lung
cancer, former Penn State tight
end Mickey Shuler said.
Before the Penn State wres-
tlingteamfacedIowa at Rec Hall
on the State College campus on
Sunday afternoon, a moment of
silence was observed.
When it was over the capacity
crowd of more than 6,500 gave a
30-second standing ovation
while an image of Paterno
flashed on two video boards.
The screen flashed the words
Joseph Vincent Paterno. 1926-
2012, just below the digitized
picture of a smiling Paterno,
wearing a blue tie and blue
sweater vest with arms crossed
across his chest.
Please recognize now the
passing earlier today of Penn
State educator, philanthropist
and coach, Joe Paterno, the an-
nouncer said.
With coaching milestones
too significant too list and im-
pact too substantial to measure,
JoePa as he is known to Nitta-
ny Lion fans everywhere will
forever be remembered as a man
whose family includes a team, a
university and an entire sport,
the announcer said. Thank you
Coach Paterno.
There also were moments of
silence at Penn State mens and
womens basketball games.
Former Penn State assistant
coach Tom Bradley, who was in-
terim coach for the Nittany Li-
ons after Paterno was pushed
out, called his former boss his
mentor for 37 years.
Coach Paterno never be-
lieved that his role as Coach
ended after practice, or when
the fourth quarter wound down
or when a student-athlete gradu-
ated, Bradley said in a state-
ment. He was a coach for life.
Paterno began his career at
Penn State in 1950 as an assist-
ant coach under Rip Engle.
Thats when Pro Football Hall
of Famer Lenny Moore played
for the Nittany Lions. Moore
joined Mitchell they both
played for the Colts and live in
Baltimore for that trip to
State College a couple weeks
back.
Moore said he, Mitchell, Pa-
terno and Paternos wife, Sue,
sat around the kitchen table and
talked until it got dark and the
visitors needed to get back.
We talkedthe whole time and
he was very together, Moore
said. Didnt look like he was
having any pain. We told himwe
loved him and we left.
Im glad that we had the op-
portunity todoit. AndI was glad
that I told him how I felt about
him.
Mike Guman, who played full-
back for Penn State in the late
1970s, said the Paternos legacy
will be carried on by the many
people whose lives he has tou-
ched.
Footballs a small part of his
legacy, but it goes far beyond
that, he said. You could have
become a good football player at
many places but you wouldnt
have become the man you are if
you didnt go to Penn State.
Guman said he didnt think
Paterno was treated fairly at the
end of his time at Penn State and
Mitchell agreed.
They knew Joe was going to
retire (at the end of last sea-
son), Mitchell said They could
have let that play out but I think
they panicked and jumped the
gun.

JoePa
by the numbers
The standards Joe Paterno
set were impressively and
immeasurably high. For Pa-
ternos football teams and
players at Penn State, winning
was only part of the goal. He
emphasized all the other de-
tails, too: principles like integ-
rity, education and maturity,
the idea of developing well-
rounded adults and doing
good, along with doing well.
It turns out he could not
meet all of his own standards.
The remarkable program that
he built and maintained for 46
years was brought down in his
final weeks by a child sex
abuse scandal that makes his
death Sunday an especially
poignant ending to an incred-
ible career and a wonderful
life.
Maybe history will be kinder
to the legendary coach and
down-to-earth icon than the
harsh light of current reality
is. We wont know for years.
We dont know everything
about what graduate assistant
coach Mike McQueary saw.
We dont know for sure how
McQueary told Paterno about
seeing Paternos trusted assist-
ant Jerry Sandusky in the
shower with that young boy.
We cant tell if future gener-
ations will make the scandal
the first sentence in the Joe
Paterno Story.
For now, though, it is hard
to see past the tarnish. At this
instant, this magnificent Amer-
ican success storyBrooklyn
kid studies hard, works harder
and helps countless lives
has aspects of an American
tragedy.
If it is all true, it is tragic
what happened to Sanduskys
alleged victims. And it is trag-
ic that Paterno did not get to
leave Penn State on his own
terms. Tragic that a robust
man saw his health deteriorate
almost immediately after the
scandal was revealed and trag-
ic that his world collapsed so
suddenly and completely.
Fairness will have its say
eventually. More people recog-
nize the two words "Penn
State" because of Paterno than
because of any other factor in
the universitys history. The
two national championships,
the five unbeaten seasons and
24 bowl game wins are great,
but they seem greater because
of the impact his former play-
ers have made on the people
they have met since they left
JoePa. Players like Franco
Harris, Jack Ham, Lydell
Mitchell, Matt Millen and
Kerry Collins, all of whom
went on to successful NFL
careers.
JoePa: The nickname itself
suggests someone who will
take care of you. Hes more
like Joe Paternal. And who can
measure how much good was
done by the $4 million Pa-
terno and his wife donated to
the school?
His official biography on the
Penn State website includes
this quote from former Penn
State linebacker Greg Buttle,
who went on to play for the
Jets: "Hes putting together
this winning program, but
meanwhile hes teaching 17-,
18-, 19-year olds how not to
screw their lives up, how im-
portant education is, how im-
portant it is to have social
acumen. Forget what hes done
for players. Hes done more for
a single university than anyone
else. It transcends his coach-
ing. No. 1 to him is what hes
done for Penn State University,
No. 2 is what he has done for
players."
In that same document,
LaVar Arrington, a two-time
All-America and first-round
NFL draft pick, said, "If youre
not a man when you get there,
youll be a man before you
leave. Joe has his system so
that youre prepared for life."
There is where it all unrav-
els. Sanduskys alleged victims
lost their chance to grow up
peacefully and naturally.
That is all a mark against
Paterno. Just as the tackles his
linebackers made, the touch-
downs his halfbacks scored,
the schemes his coordinators
designed all reflected well on
the head coach, this scandal is
an indelible part of the head
coachs record.
It is really, really sad, all the
way around.
Winning was just part of equation

Penn State coach Joe Paterno answers a question during media
day for the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 13, 2007.

S P O R T S
Editors note: Joe Paterno, 85,
died Sunday. He was a coach at
Penn State since 1950, becom-
ing head coach in 1966. He led
the Nittany Lions to a Division
I/FBS record 409 victories in
his career, which ended in No-
vember. The Hall of Fame coach
had a record of 409-136-3, won
24 of the 37 bowl games his
teams appeared in, and claimed
two national championships. He
devoted countless hours and
dollars to the university and its
students outside of the venues
of sport.
He was interviewed by The
Times Leaders then-Penn State
beat writer, the late Jerry Kellar,
for an exclusive which was
originally published Aug. 16,
1998.
We wish to share with you
this interview once again.
J
oe Paterno hasnt
achieved his status in
life by adjusting his
busy schedule to the
convenience of others.
So when colleges footballs
winningest living Division I-A
coach (298-77-3) agreed to
spend some rare free time with
sports writer Jerry Kellar at the
recent Big Ten Conference kick-
off festivities -- even though it
was smack dab in the middle of
the mornings press conferences
-- Kellar grabbed his pad, pen
and tape recorder and followed
sports information director Jeff
Nelson to the nearest lounge to
meet the coach.
In an exclusive 25-minute
interview, Penn States 71-year-
old football legend revealed his
thoughts on a number of issues,
including: his approaching
300th victory (actually, hed
rather talk about anything else),
retirement (only grudgingly),
salary (why do you ask?), long-
evity in the game (its more than
luck) and the ever-increasing
demands on his time ("Like
this," he said.)
Paterno, who is beginning his
49th season at Penn State, 33rd
as head coach, also touched on
his relationship with todays
players, family life, political
correctness, the infamous fund-
raising dinner in Wilkes-Barre,
politics, the ills of society and,
of course, his Nittany Lion foot-
ball team.
Though short in time, the
meeting was entertaining, re-
vealing and enlightening.
Hopefully, youll feel the
same.

TIMES LEADER: OK, We
might as well get this out of the
way quick. Eleven years ago,
after career win No. 200, you
said youd never make it to 300.
And here we are, just two away.
JOE PATERNO: (Shaking
head) Im not even thinking
about it. Im just worried about
Southern Mississippi, to be very
honest with you. We lost the last
two and three of the last five
football games we played last
year. We gotta get back to play-
ing better football. And personal
goals really right now are not
very important. Were just try-
ing to be a good football team
again. So what happens hap-
pens.
TL: Your colleagues marvel at
your staying power in the job.
So whats the secret to spending
almost a half-century doing the
same job, at the same place?
PATERNO: Well, I think any-
body when he starts out coach-
ing thinks hes going to be able
to stay in one place as long as
Ive been or stay in coaching as
long as Ive been is a real opti-
mist. But its been fun and its
been enjoyable and Ive been
lucky. Ive had good health, had
some good genes from my par-
ents. I married a wonderful
woman whos made it possible
for me to do it and Ive had good
family support. So all of those
things, the combination of
things have put me in the sit-
uation where I am right now.
And thats one Im thoroughly
enjoying and looking forward to.
TL: Has your retirement be-
come more of an issue with
recruits?
PATERNO: Well, I think its
important that I have some
ideas as to how far along I can
coach, because I dont think its
fair to the university or the staff
or the people who may have
some interest in playing at Penn
State. But right now if you said
to me ` How long you going to
coach? Im going to tell you Im
going to coach four years. Two
years from now, if I feel as
healthy as I do now and as en-
thusiastic about coaching as I
do and Im enjoying it as much,
I may coach another four, five.
But I think right now it be unre-
alistic for me to say Im going to
coach six, seven, eight more
years. Four more years right
now would put me at 75 and Id
have to take a good, tough look
at getting out of it at that time.
But Ill repeat it, if two more
years from now if I feel as good
as I do right now I may til Im
77, 78, I dont know. I have no
real plans, except for the fact
that I do want to make people
understand where Im coming
from.
TL: You said following the
Citrus Bowl loss to Florida that
you were going to get back to
basics with the team. The last
time you said those words was
in 92 after the loss to Stanford
in the Blockbuster Bowl. Are
there any similarities between
those squads and do seasons
like those cause you to reeval-
uate things?
PATERNO: I dont feel that
way so much about last years
team as I did back when Stan-
ford gave us such a bad licking
in the Blockbuster Bowl. We
played hard against Florida. We
went in there with a lot of prob-
lems, we lost probably our two
best offensive players. We
played solid against an out-
standing football team. Michi-
gan State ... I dont know what
happened to us. I dont think its
a question of what weve done
or anything like that, its just a
question or maybe tightening
up some things, re-adjusting and
maybe a little better leadership.
But I dont feel as if were out of
it. We, meaning Joe Paterno.
TL: The age gap obviously
keeps widening between you
and the players. Is it becoming
increasingly more difficult to
adapt to todays kids?
PATERNO: Not really. Un-
fortunately I got married late. I
still have a kid in college. Ive
been around young people all
the time. Even when I was get-
ting older my kids were young-
er. When I was in my 60s, I had
teenagers all over the place.
They had friends in the house.
So I never really lost contact
with whats going on. I dont
really feel that Im out of touch
with them. I think its more of a
challenge because its such a
tougher life for these kids.
Theres so many people that
want to get into their lives. You
really gotta counsel them a little
bit more and youve got to be
aware of the environment
theyre in ... the agents, the girls,
the media hype the minute they
step out of line. Theres no cov-
erup. Years ago, if kids did a
little something you could say,
hey leave it alone. You cant do
that anymore. The slightest
thing now gets blown up. So
those things take more time to
make sure a kid understands
how prominent he is. But other
than that I think Im in fairly
good touch with the kids.
TL: You and Sue have been so
generous with your money over
the years (earlier this year the
Paternos donated $3.5 million
to the university), yet you are
extremely protective of your
salary. It almost seems as if
youre guilty over what you
make. Is that fair to say?
PATERNO: No, I dont feel
guilty about it, but I dont think
its anybodys business. When
we gave the money away, we did
not want to announce it because
we didnt think it was appropri-
ate. But the people in the devel-
opment office thought it would
be helpful to them to go out and
talk to other people about rais-
ing their sights as to what they
would give, so we announced it.
TL: You looked genuinely
uncomfortable at the press
conference that day.
PATERNO: Well, we didnt
want to make a big deal of it.
Ive always said I never got into
coaching to make money, and I
honestly mean that. I have made
more money than I should make
for doing what I love to do. I
just felt like we should give
some of it back.
TL: Im sure it helps that you
have a wife who shares your
values.
PATERNO: You bet. Weve
been very careful. Sue and I
spend very little money. As Ive
said many times, Sue presses all
my clothes ... we never have a
tailor bill, we never have a laun-
dry bill. She cooks all the food. I
mean, she made clothes for the
kids when they were young.
Weve been careful, some people
have given us some good advice
about investments. So all of a
sudden you wake up and youve
got some money. A lot of that is
because the universitys been
good to me, a lot of thats be-
cause weve been very careful.
Weve not been stingy, but weve
been careful. So I dont have any
... Im not embarrassed about
what I make. I dont think its
anybodys business.
TL: Youve cut back dramat-
ically on offseason personal
appearances and engagements
this year. Did you feel you were
losing touch with the squad?
PATERNO: Not necessarily,
but just like this (interview),
people want to talk about 300
wins, how long youre going to
coach. You come to functions
like this and now you end up
doing this, youve gotta do an
ESPN interview. Its always
something. I came here yester-
day, really I didnt have to be
here. They had a coaches meet-
ing yesterday. It was a waste of
time. I mean every day youre
away ... a good friend of ours is
having his 80th birthday on
Saturday, so were flying to New
York. I have kids looking for
jobs that want to make switches,
youre making telephone calls.
Some days youre in the office
and youve got six, seven tele-
phone calls to make -- all of
which you want to make -- but
none of them have anything to
do with football. Not recruiting,
anything.
TL: What kind of requests do
you normally get from former
players and coaches?
PATERNO: So and sos in
Chicago, he wants to move to
New York, he needs to get an
interview with so and so who
knew me. Can you call? I had an
interview with this guy. Would
you sign a picture and send it to
the guy because hes a Penn
State fan? Its those kinds of
things. And the more people
youre associated with over a
period of time, the more those
demands are.
TL: You have a hard time
saying no to people, dont you?
PATERNO: Well, you cant
say no to your players.
TL: People can be pretty
demanding at times, cant they?
PATERNO: (Nods) You like
to do as much as you can, but
its tough. If theres a sick kid or
something like that, or some-
body feels you can do some-
thing to help because of the fact
that people recognize you, well,
I think thats an obligation. But
it does make the job a little
tougher.
TL: In one of the few offsea-
son appearances you did make,
you helped raise more than
$80,000 for the Wyoming Valley
CYC. And you ended up getting
grilled over the coals for telling
an ethnic joke.
PATERNO: (Smiles) Ah, that
didnt bother me. I think that
was just ... a couple people got
carried away. The timing was
bad. I certainly never meant to
offend or hurt anybody. I think
people who know me know that
certainly ... I dont think I have a
biased bone in my body. I hope I
dont.
TL: To my knowledge, the
few people who complained
werent even at the dinner. My
newspaper called you insensi-
tive and implied you were a
hypocrite. Were you hurt by
that?
PATERNO: No. But Im dis-
turbed that our societys gotten
so touchy that you cant have
some fun with each other. I
mean, theres some friends of
mine, Italian-American people,
who are very touchy about any
kind of Mafia jokes and things
like that. And I say, hey, if we
cant make fun of ourselves
weve really lost touch. I sup-
pose its a sign of the tension
that we have in society today. So
it didnt bother me in the sense
that it hurt me, but it makes me
wonder where were going.
TL: Lots of politically in-
correct people think were going
to the dogs. Are we taking our-
selves too seriously these days?
PATERNO: Absolutely. I dont
think theres any question about
that. I think theres too many
people making a living out of
being associated with causes.
We have too many extremes.
Theres people that are trying to
understand what one groups
problem is and understand what
the other ends problem is, and
theyre trying to get people
together and have a little fun
doing it. Humor in the long run
is usually what saves us.
TL: Society is changing for
the worse. Even little State
College isnt immune from so-
called big city problems any-
more.
PATERNO: Yeah, we had the
riots up there (earlier this sum-
mer), which obviously none of
us are very happy about. It was
a very unfortunate incident. But
we dont have a lot of that. And
most of the kids we get come to
Penn State because theyve got a
choice between Penn State and
someplace else where theres a
city life and a subculture and
some of those problems. And
maybe when kids opt to go to
Penn State, theyve got a differ-
ent attitude towards what they
want out of college.
TL: You love to talk politics.
When and if you retire from
coaching, any interest in run-
ning?
PATERNO: I have interest in
politics but not to run. I might
have 20 years ago, but not right
now. I think to go into politics
you really have to know who
youre going to take with you. I
dont have enough ... somebody
would say run for governor.
Sure, OK, run for governor.
Who do I appoint secretary of
education? Who do I appoint
this, who do I pick for that?
Well, well tell you. Yeah, sure
youll tell me. Thats not the way
I would run. Thats not my style.
TL: (Purdue coach) Joe Tiller
called you a phenomenon. How
would you like to be remem-
bered some day?
PATERNO: (Looking oh-so
disinterested) Ah, thats for you
guys to decide.
Jerry Kellars exclusive 98 interview with Paterno
TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO
Times Leader columnist and
Penn State writer Jerry Kellar
caught up with Joe Paterno in
1998.
1926-2012
his battle with lung cancer.
Even when I spoke to him
that Thursday, after the Wednes-
day evening debacle, Hamilton
said, referring to the night Penn
States board of trustees fired
Paterno, he was still playing
mentor, advisor, leader.
A lot of that guidance Paterno
imparted over his 46 seasons as
Penn States head coach had
nothing to do with football.
I look back to my freshman
year, said Lance Hamilton, an
attorney for the U.S. Army and
Harrys brother, when we were
practicing for the national cham-
pionship and we had final exams
coming up.
One of the biggest things that
got me fired up was, continued
Lance Hamilton, who came out
of Meyers High School to play on
Paternos last national champion-
ship team in1986, he was call-
ing people out of practice, start-
ers as well, to give you time to go
shower and study for your ex-
ams. It wasnt just about winning
championships.
He won championships with
dignity and respect.
That everlasting concern and
care Paterno expressed to the
Hamiltons came to be known as
the grand experiment called
Success with honor. It is also
what swayed Harry Hamilton,
now an attorney, to play for Penn
State over numerous offers from
other major college football
programs.
I believe the turning point
and the deciding factor happened
in the kitchen at our home in
Wapwallopen, Hamilton said,
when Joe Paterno and my dad
(the late Stan Hamilton) shook
hands. And Joe Paterno gave his
word that if I changed my mind
about playing football or got
injured in some way, I would
keep my scholarship.
They all knew Paterno would
keep his promises.
The man not only talked the
talk, he honestly walked the
walk, Hamilton said. I didnt
find any particular thing he did
in terms of just the football world
that was any more inspiring than
how he approached life.
That approach Paterno used
was simple, straight-forward and
often termed boring.
He wasnt the kind of guy
who would give you the rah-rah
speech, said Todd Moules,
another Meyers grad who was a
captain on Paternos 1985 Penn
State squad. He wasnt the
Knute Rockne type of guy. He
was more of a renaissance guy.
Hed talk to you about World War
II and things in life, and bringing
it back to what we were doing.
But when he got going with
one of his motivational speeches,
Paternos words could stimulate
a slug. Any player fortunate
enough to hear him as a guest
speaker at the Pennsylvania Big
33 Classic pregame banquet back
in1989 couldnt help getting
geared up to give it their all once
Paterno started talking about
playing for the pride of their
team, their town and most im-
portantly, he said, that which
they had in themselves.
You never wanted to dis-
appoint, said Moules, who now
serves as a regional president for
First Niagara Bank in western
Pennsylvania. I loved the guy.
Theres never going to be any-
body like him.
Paternos fire was doused a bit
by injuries and health issues he
suffered during the last few years
of a historic career that earned
him a rightful place in the Col-
lege Football Hall of Fame. But
Paterno still had enough left,
even in his coaching twilight, to
chase down his quarterbacks on
the practice field and threaten to
deck his hulking defensive play-
ers if they didnt do things right.
All I want to do, Paterno said
a few years ago, is make every-
body out there as good as they
can be.
He went out as his sports
biggest winner, because Joe
Paterno moved people he tou-
ched to do their best.

It is with great sadness
that we announce that Joe
Paterno passed away earlier
today. His loss leaves a void
in our lives that will never
be filled.
He died as he lived. He
fought hard until the end,
stayed positive, thought only
of others and constantly
reminded everyone of how
blessed his life had been. His
ambitions were far reaching,
but he never believed he had
to leave this Happy Valley to
achieve them. He was a man
devoted to his family, his
university, his players and
his community.
He has been many things
in his life - a soldier, scholar,
mentor, coach, friend and
father. To my mother he was
and is her soul mate, and the
last several
weeks have
shown the
strength of
their love. To
his children
and grand-
children he is
a shining
example of how to live a
good, decent and honest life,
a standard to which we as-
pire.
When he decided to fore-
go a career in law and make
coaching his vocation, his
father Angelo had but one
command: make an impact.
As the last 61 years have
shown, Joe made an incred-
ible impact. That impact has
been felt and appreciated by
our family in the form of
thousands of letters and well
wishes along with countless
acts of kindness from people
whose lives he touched. It is
evident also in the thousands
of successful student ath-
letes who have gone on to
multiply that impact as they
spread out across the coun-
try.
And so he leaves us with
a peaceful mind, comforted
by his living legacy of five
kids, 17 grandchildren, and
hundreds of young men
whose lives he changed in
more ways than can begin to
be counted.
In lieu of flowers or gifts,
the family requests that do-
nations be made to the Spe-
cial Olympics of Pennsylva-
nia or the Penn State-THON
(The Penn State IFC/Panhel-
lenic Dance Marathon).
Paterno Family Statement

STATE COLLEGE The
Pennsylvania hospital where
Joe Paterno died confirms that
the cause was a spreading lung
cancer.
Mount Nittany Medical Cen-
ter says in a statement that
Paterno died at 9:25 a.m. Sun-
day of metastatic small cell
carcinoma of the lung. Meta-
static indicates an illness that
has spread from one part of the
body to an unrelated area.
The hospital says Paterno
was surrounded by family
members, who have requested
privacy.
Paternos son had said in No-
vember that his father had
been diagnosed with a treat-
able form of lung cancer dur-
ing a follow-up visit for a bron-
chial illness.
Hospital: Spreading cancer cause of death

S P O R T S
The Hall of Fame Penn State
coach died Sunday morning at
age 85, and those that knew him
shared their thoughts from a life
and career that touched all of
them.
For longtime Dallas coach Ted
Jackson, what always remained
in his mind was a sign he saw at
Penn States facilities on one of
his many trips to the campus.
We pay for your breakfast.
Make sure you get out of bed and
get to breakfast, or youll be un-
happy. JVP
Over the years, Jackson had
spent time with Paterno and oth-
er Penn State coaches at camps
and when they would come to
the area on recruiting trips. That
sign was so memorable for him
because it represented the re-
spect he had fromhis players and
his peers.
The guys an icon, Jackson
said. He would be in front of a
thousand coaches speaking in
Hershey and you could hear a pin
drop. The discipline he had with
his program was unmatched.
The things that people cant en-
force, he enforced.
More programs couldve been
run like his.
That included his famous
ground rules of no jewelry, no
hats on indoors and restrictions
on facial hair no chin whisk-
ers, as he called it.
Those that knew him often
found themselves repeating say-
ings and methods from Paterno
in their own coaching careers.
Jackson at Dallas. Downing at
Bishop Hoban, Kings College
and Meyers.
Keith Olsommer at Delaware
Valley.
Its impossible to spend the
amount of time (with Paterno)
like I did and not be influenced,
said Olsommer, who played tight
end at Penn State after graduat-
ing from North Pocono.
I think sometimes its much
easier to give pre-game speeches
and talks after wins. After a
crushing loss, thats when I find
myself turning to Coach when
my back is against the wall. I can
hear myself echoing all the senti-
ments that he passed on to us.
When my back is really
against it, thats whenI findthat a
lot of characteristics that I
learned from Coach come out.
Even those that were unable to
spendthat muchtime withPater-
no expressed their sorrow.
In August, Eugene Lewis took
a trip to State College and decid-
ed on his visit that Penn State
was the place for him. The for-
mer Wyoming Valley West quar-
terback delivered his pledge to
Paterno personally.
He will instead play for Bill
OBrien when he signs his letter
of intent toPennState next week,
but Lewis said Paterno was one
of the factors in his decision.
Joe Paterno has done so much
for Penn State, said Lewis, who
is slated to play receiver for the
Lions in the fall. Hes definitely
part of the reason why I picked
Penn State. I just hope now hes
in a better place.
I just thank the Lordfor every-
thing hes done for Penn State. I
want to pray for his family and
hope theyll be OK.
GAR coach Paul Wiedlich Jr.
grew up a Penn State fan and got
his chance to meet Paterno brief-
ly this fall whenhe took a tripto a
game with two of his players,
Shakir Soto and Christian Skre-
penak, on an unofficial recruiting
visit.
He was Penn State, Wiedlich
said. A great individual, a great
humanitarian. A great person for
college football who cared for his
players.
All who spoke Sunday voiced
their concernat howPaterno will
be remembered in the wake of
the Jerry Sandusky scandal that
led to his firing. Paterno was nev-
er charged with a crime but was
criticized for not doing more to
bring allegations of child abuse
against his former assistant to
light.
Thats whats been so disturb-
ing, so frustrating about this
whole thing, saidDowning, who
visited Paterno in State College
in November after his ouster.
With his 60 years there and with
his body of work, he was entitled
to due process. Or at least given
the benefit of the doubt until the
facts came out. He deserved
some respect and dignity.
And nowits been tough. We
feel for him. We want people to
know who he was. And thats not
him. Hes not the type of person
who would allow such heinous
things to go on. Its ridiculous.
Since the scandal erupted in
November, Penn State as a uni-
versity has largely been silent
about Paterno. No tributes were
planned during the season and
administrators often chose not to
mention him at all.
That will begin to change now.
Its been just awful. Ive been
sick to my stomach, Jackson
said. It wouldhave beenfitting if
he died in the spring and held a
service at Beaver Stadium for
him at a packed house. I hope
they do something at the (Bryce
Jordan Center) and let people
come through and pay their re-
spects.
I just hope they do it right for
the guy down there.

Sokoloski contributed to this story.
Well, I sucked pretty bad to-
day, but our defense saved us,
Brady said after throwing for 239
yards, with two interceptions
and, for thefirst timein36games,
no TDpasses. Imgoing to try to
goout anddoa better jobina cou-
ple of weeks, but Improudof this
team, my teammates.
Brady waited out the final
tense minutes on the sideline,
and then celebrated with the rest
of his team when Cundiffs at-
tempt went wideleft. TheRavens
looked on in stunned horror.
Cundiff had no excuse.
Its a kick Ive kicked probably
a thousand times in my career,
Cundiff said. I went out there
anddidnt convert. Thatstheway
things go.
Next up as the Patriots (15-3)
chase their fourth Super Bowl
trophy in Bradys and coach Bill
Belichicks tenure in New En-
gland is the winner of Sundays
NFC championship game be-
tween the Giants and 49ers. The
Super Bowl is Feb. 5inIndianapo-
lis.
In their last trip to the big
game, the Patriots had an18-0 re-
cord when they were stunned by
the Giants four years ago. They
won the NFL championship for
the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons.
This time, they head to the Super
Bowl with a 10-game winning
streak.
Before Cundiff missed, the
Ravens had a chance to go ahead
two plays earlier, but wide receiv-
er Lee Evans was stripped of the
ball in the end zone by backup
cornerback Sterling Moore, who
earlier was victimizedfor atouch-
down that gave Baltimore (13-5)
the lead17-16.
On his touchdown, Brady took
a huge hit from Ravens star line-
backer Ray Lewis, then emphati-
cally spiked the ball as he walked
away. Earlier, Brady showed his
fire by barking at Lewis following
a hard tackle on a 4-yard run.
Its a pretty mentally tough
team, said Brady, whose fifth
trip to the Super Bowl will equal
John Elways achievement with
Denver. Theres really some re-
siliency. Weve shownthat all sea-
son. Eveninthegames wevelost,
the three games we lost, we
fought until theend. Werealways
goingtofight tothe end. Its great
to be a part of a team like this.
Baltimore had the touted de-
fense in this matchup, but New
Englands unit, ranked 31st over-
all, was just as powerful.
We stepped up, Pro Bowl
nose tackle Vince Wilfork said.
We all stepped up big time. Be-
ing in this situation is a great mo-
ment. You have to cherish this
moment.
The Patriots shut down Ray
Rice, the leagues total yardage
leader, who was limited to 78
yards. Brandon Spikes made a
fourth-quarter interceptionof Joe
Flacco, who played well before
that and threw for two touch-
downs. And when the Ravens
were threatening to score a late
touchdown to win their first con-
ference title in 11 years, New En-
gland clamped down.
Its two great football teams,
two gladiators, I guess, just kind
of going at each other at the end,
and Im proud of our guys, Har-
baugh said. You know, weve got
53guys, mightymen, as weliketo
call themand they fought, and
we came up a little bit short, as
53. You know, 53 win and 53
lose.
With Rice a nonfactor, Balti-
more had to rely on Flacco, and
he delivered one of his best per-
formances. Flacco has led the
Ravens intotheplayoffs inall four
of his pro seasons, but not to the
Super Bowl. He was 22 for 36 for
306 yards and touchdowns of 6
yards to Dennis Pitta and 29 to
rookie Torrey Smith.
The loss hardly could be
blamed on Flacco.
I dont knowif I ever will prove
anything, he said. I just play the
same way. We lost; someone has
to. But we laid it all out on the
field.
Operatingagainst aporous sec-
ondary missing its top corner-
back, Kyle Arrington, who left in
thesecondquarter withaneyein-
jury, Flacco gave Baltimore its
first lead. His short pass on third
downtoexplosive receiver Smith
turned into a 29-yard scamper
down the right sideline after
Moore completely whiffed on the
tackle.
Danny Woodheads fumble on
the ensuing kickoff set up Balti-
more at the Patriots 28, but a
third-downsackforcedCundiff to
kick a 39-yard field goal, making
it 20-16.

PLYMOUTH The Ray
Wills Invitational may be a
barometer for a teams suc-
cess at the District 2-4 Class
3A championships. But
Wyoming Valley Wests boys
swimming team will have to
wait to see how it matches
up against its top competi-
tion.
Inclement weather post-
poned the meet Saturday,
forcing host Wyoming Valley
West to reschedule it for
Sunday. Williamsport, the
Spartans top competition in
the District 2-4 regional, was
unable to attend due to a dis-
trict policy that forbids its
athletics teams from playing
on Sundays.
In the Millionaires ab-
sence, Wyoming Valley West
glided to a first overall finish
on the boys side, owning a
100-plus point lead over sec-
ond- and third-place Hazle-
ton Area and Tunkhannock.
This has always been a
fast meet, Wyoming Valley
West coach Frank Tribendis
said. It would have been re-
ally nice to have William-
sport and Danville here.
They have some really good
kids that are fast. But Hazle-
ton Area has some fast kids.
Elk Lake came in with a cou-
ple fast kids. Wallenpaupack
and Tunkhannock were also
pretty competitive.
When you look at the fi-
nals, you could really tell
this was a fast meet. Swim-
ming is swimming.
Hazleton Area secured its
highest overall ranking at
the Ray Willis Invitational
with its first team champion-
ship on the girls side. The
Cougars overcame an early
lead by Abington Heights,
which finished in second.
The Spartans finished in
third place.
It was really a team ef-
fort, Hazleton Area coach
Michele Yakubowski said.
We saw a lot of little things
today that we need to work
on. I think we should have a
really nice competitive dis-
trict meet.
The Cougars were led by
Shaina Gregos four first-
place finishes. Grego fin-
ished with the top time in
the 200 free and 500 free,
and was part of Hazleton Ar-
eas 200 medley and 200 free
relay teams that touched the
wall first.
Wyoming Valley Wests
Morgan Hanadel took first in
the 100 free and 100 back.
Baileigh Vanderhoof,
whose Wallenpaupack team
swims as an independent, al-
so became a two-time winner
with victories in the 100 fly
and 100 breast.
The Spartans Ed Zawatski
(50 free, 100 free) and Adin
Greenwald (200 free, 500
free) both locked down two
individual swims.
Six of the first seven boys
events were won by the Spar-
tans. Wyoming Valley West
placed a competitor in the
top three in all 12 competi-
tions.
It was an outstanding per-
formance by all of our boys,
Tribendis said. Theres a
number of guys who had
great days today.
Tunkhannocks Ben Spen-
cer joined the pair of Spar-
tans with firsts in the 100 fly
and 100 back.
The Ray Willis Invitational
begins a difficult second-half
schedule for the Spartans.
Tribendis squads will face
Holy Redeemer on Tuesday
and Hazleton Area on Feb. 14
Its a good thing, Triben-
dis said. Well have faster
times for districts. Its all
about doing well at districts
and qualifying for states.

For The Times Leader
another costly mistake by San
Francisco.
Manning and the Giants
(12-7) will face the New En-
gland Patriots in the Super
Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis.
The last time the teams met for
the NFL title, 2008, the Giants
ended the Patriots bid for a
perfect season.
Tynes got the Giants there
for a second time. He kicked
the game-winning field goal in
overtime at Green Bay in the
2008 NFC title game that put
New York in the Super Bowl on
the way to the franchises third
title.
Devin Thomas put the Gi-
ants in position. He recovered
his second fumble of the game
after Jacquian Williams
stripped the ball from fill-in re-
turn man Kyle Williams, who
also fumbled earlier to set up a
New York touchdown.
Its my second NFC cham-
pionship game, my second
game-winner, Tynes said. Its
amazing. I had dreams about
this last night. It was from 42,
not 31, but I was so nervous to-
day before the game just antici-
pating this kind of game. Im
usually pretty cool, but there
was something about tonight
where I knew I was going to
have to make a kick. Hats off to
Eli, offense, defense. Great
win.
Manning went 32 of 58 for
316 yards and two touchdowns
in his record fifth road playoff
win, New Yorks fifth in a row
overall and fifth out of six.

6:18 p.m. Feb. 5 (NBC)
GIANTS
SAN FRANCISCO Kyle
Williams put his hands on his
helmet and dropped his head in
disgust. A second big mistake
by its backup punt returner did
in San Francisco at the worst
possible time.
Williams fumbled in overtime
to set up Lawrence Tynes 31-
yard field goal, and the 49ers
lost the NFC championship
game to the New York Giants
20-17 on Sunday.
Williams, returning kicks in
place of the injured Ted Ginn
Jr., muffed one punt early in the
fourth quarter to set up a go-
ahead touchdown for NewYork,
then was stripped by Jacquian
Williams in overtime to give the
Giants the ball at the 24.
After three runs and a kneel-
down, Tynes kicked the game-
winner, and Williams slowly
made a dejected walk back to
the locker room as the 49ers
missed out on a prime chance to
go to the Super Bowl.
The fact that turnovers did in
San Francisco was truly surpris-
ing. The 49ers tied an NFL re-
cord with just 10 giveaways all
season including none on
special teams and had a
plus-28 turnover margin in the
regular season. They took ad-
vantage of five New Orleans
turnovers to win 36-32 last
week but were on the wrong
end in this game because of Wil-
liams.
Williams, the son of Chicago
White Sox general manager
Ken Williams, did not look
smooth fielding punts after do-
ing it just twice in the regular
season.
He made a dangerous, sliding
catch on one return and called a
fair catch on another with room
to run. He then made his first
big miscue after San Francisco
forced a punt early in the fourth
quarter while protecting a 14-10
lead.

VANCOUVER, British Colum-
bia The scores look absolute-
ly ridiculous. 14-0. 13-0. The two
most lopsided wins in the histo-
ry of the U.S. womens soccer
team. One of the few lively
things about the second game
was the constant chant of Ju-
das directed at the player who
scored five second-half goals.
The United States took it to
Guatemala 13-0 Sunday to clinch
a berth in the semifinals of the
CONCACAF qualifying tourna-
ment for the London Olympics.
It was a great game for statisti-
cians and for those who think
the Americans need to learn to
chill when they have a big lead.
Nothing doing. Not as long as
the stunning loss to Mexico in a
World Cup qualifier in late 2010
remains fresh on their minds.
We understand that 14-, 13-
goal games can be looked down
upon by some of our viewers,
our fans, by fans of other coun-
tries, said Abby Wambach, who
scored twice in the first half.
But the truth is we didnt get
our job done the last qualifying
tournament, and this is a state-
ment that were making to the
rest of the world, were making
to our region, and we cant take
any game for granted. We have
to play hard, play physical and
respect the game. Thats why the
results are the results youve
seen.
Wambach moved into third on
the career goals list for womens
international soccer with 129,
ahead of Germanys Birgit Prinz
(128) and behind only Mia
Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly
(130). The only active player in
the 31-year-old forwards range is
Canadas Christine Sinclair with
125 including five in this tour-
nament.
On pace to catch her in a hur-
ry if Sunday is any indication
is newcomer Sydney Leroux,
who replaced Wambach at half-
time and scored five goals in just
her second cap with the U.S.
team. Leroux was born and
raised in Vancouver area but has
an American father and has opt-
ed to play for the U.S. over Cana-
da, prompting the boos and the
Judas chants from some of the
locals whenever she touched the
ball.
I know that there are some
people who dont respect my de-
cision, Leroux said. And there
are some people who do. And
not everyones going to like you,
and I feel like you have to have
some enemies in life or else
youre not doing something
right. Im happy where I am. Im
happy to wear this jersey, and
thats how it is.
Lerouxs five-spot ties her
with Wambach, Brandi Chastain,
Michelle Akers, Tiffeny Milbrett
and Amy Rodriguez for the most
goals by a U.S. player in a game.
Rodriguez accomplished the feat
in the 14-0 win over the Domin-
ican Republic on Friday, also as a
second-half substitute.
Lerouxs goals came in the
48th, 51st, 57th, 70th and 87th
minutes. She is the only member
of the roster who didnt play for
the U.S. in last years World Cup.
I heard that some people
were booing me, Leroux said.
But then I think after the fourth
goal they stopped.
When told they didnt, she an-
swered: No? Well, they
shouldve.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The friend-
ly competition between the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton special
teams kept the Penguins rolling
along on Sunday.
With the teams power play
continuing to churn out goals,
the penalty killing unit stepped
upfor a pair of crucial short-hand-
edscores tolift the Penguins over
the Syracuse Crunch 4-3 at the
Onondaga County War Memo-
rial.
Brian Straits shorty at the
14:32 mark of the second period
stood up as the game-winner and
ZachSill poppedina tide-turning
short-handed goal with 4.1 sec-
onds left in the first. That
matched a pair of power-play
markers from teammates Colin
McDonald and Jason Williams.
Williams was sent down by Pitts-
burgh earlier Sunday.
The Pens potted five power
play goals in a win over the
Crunch on Saturday. Sundays
two short-handed scores made
the team the AHL leader in that
category, with 11.
Weve been working on it, try-
ing to have a little competition in
and amongst ourselves, Sill said
of the units.
Its just a lot of preparation.
Both power play and penalty kill
take it to heart, Strait said. Its
about taking your job seriously,
getting it done. We have guys in a
zone on both special teams, and
its helping us win games.
Brad Thiessen made 32 saves
for the Pens, who extended their
road winning streak to eight
games. That matches the longest
in the AHL this year, a mark also
held by Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
We obviously like playing on
the road, Strait said. I dont
know why that is. Its a more re-
laxed atmosphere for us.
Straits short-handed score
snatched away a great chance for
Syracuse to tie the game. With
6:34 left in the second and cling-
ing to a 3-2 lead, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton was looking at 59 sec-
onds of 5-on-3 penalty killing
time. Strait got the first of those
two penalties, called for cross-
checking at 12:25.
But the Penguins wasted that
two-man deficit, and at the expi-
ration of his penalty Strait jump-
edout of the box, tooka longpass
from teammate Ryan Craig and
dismantled Crunch goalie Iiro
Tarkki stick side with 5:28 left.
That never happens to me. I
walked out and picked it up,
Strait said. I knew there was a
guy on me. I wanted to use my
skating to get ahead of him. I
knew he (Tarkki) was giving me
blocker side.
That insurance grew in impor-
tance at the 4:27 mark of the
third, when Syracuses Kyle
Palmieri, sent downbythe Ducks
earlier in the day, scored his sec-
ond of the contest for what turn-
ed out to be the final margin.
Sill sent the Penguins into the
first intermission on a high note
with his shorty with 4.3 seconds
left in the opening period. He
split Syracuse defensemen Math-
ieu Carle and Bryan Rodney on
the right point to get a break
down the left wing. His low shot
eluded Tarkki 5-hole for a 2-1
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton lead.
That was a bad goal. I
shouldve had that one. But you
cant get it back after the game,
Tarkki said.
I was falling down. I was just
trying to put it on net, Sill said.
It was an off-balance shot. It
wasnt asnipeplay, byanymeans.
Any time you get a short-handed
goal its unexpected, it puts a
team on its heels.
Sills crusher answered a goal
by Rodney that tied the game
with 3:51 remaining in the first.
Thiessendidnt get a goodlookat
Rodneys flip from the slot, pri-
marily because Syracuses An-
drew Gordon clogged his sight-
line with a screen out front.

MIAMI Brandon Jennings
scored 23 points, Ersan Ilyasova
added 16 off the bench and the
Milwaukee Bucks held Miami
to 37 percent shooting on the
way to beating the Heat 91-82
on Sunday night.
It was the second straight
road win for Milwaukee, which
started the year 0-8 away from
home. Andrew Bogut scored 13
points for the Bucks, who got
10 apiece from Shaun Living-
ston and Stephen Jackson.
LeBron James finished with
28 points and 13 rebounds for
Miami, which had won three
straight. Chris Bosh scored 23
for the Heat, who got 12 from
Mario Chalmers.
Milwaukee turned 22 Miami
turnovers into 22 points and
the Heat tied an NBA season-
low with nine assists, one shy
of matching the franchise re-
cord.
It was the first time Miami
lost this season in seven games
without Dwyane Wade, out
again with a sprained right
ankle.
Celtics 100, Wizards 94
WASHINGTON Paul
Pierce had season highs with 34
points and 10 assists and tied
his season-best mark with eight
rebounds to lead Boston over
Washington.
The Celtics won for the sec-
ond time in three games de-
spite playing most of the game
without a pair of starting
guards. Point guard Rajon Ron-
do was out for the second
straight game with a sprained
right wrist, and Boston lost
starting guard Ray Allen as well
when he jammed his left ankle
in the first half.
Clippers 103, Raptors 91
LOS ANGELES Mo Wil-
liams scored 19 of his 26 points
in the fourth quarter, Blake
Griffin had 18 points and nine
rebounds, and Los Angeles sent
Toronto to its eighth straight
loss.
DeAndre Jordan had 16
points and 16 rebounds and
Chauncey Billups had 14 assists
for the Clippers, playing their
fifth straight game without
point guard Chris Paul because
of a left hamstring strain.
Nets 97, Bobcats 87
NEWARK N.J. Deron
Williams had 19 points, nine
rebounds and 10 assists to lead
New Jersey over Charlotte.
Williams near triple double
would have been the first of the
season for the Nets, who im-
proved to 5-12 on the season.
MarShon Brooks added 20
points for the Nets, while An-
thony Morrow added 19 points.
Rookie Kemba Walker led the
Bobcats with 16 points, six
rebounds and four assists. Ger-
ald Henderson had 15 points
while Bismack Biyombo and
Derrick Brown had 11 each.

WINTERBERG, Germany
The United States team of
Erin Hamlin and Chris
Mazdzer, combining with
Christian Niccum and Jayson
Terdiman, finished just 0.702
of a second behind the team
from Germany (in 2:27.658)
in the World Cup luge team
relay Sunday.
The Niccum-Terdiman dou-
bles team, after a World Cup
fifth place in the discipline on
Saturday, battled through fall-
ing snow, trying to keep their
sled down the middle of the
Winterberg course while not
over controlling it.
"We were on the edge, espe-
cially down in the labyrinth,"
said Terdiman, of Berwick,
who took a doubles bronze
medal here last season with
Niccum, to usaluge.org. "Liv-
ing on that edge at the bottom
paid off for us. Were still gon-
na do this and ride that edge
as far as we can."
Germany claimed the team
relay event, when Loch,
Wischnewski and the doubles
team of Tobias Arlt and To-
bias Wendl combined to set a
track record of 2 minutes,
26.956 seconds.
Corinna Martini led a Ger-
man sweep of a womens luge
race and claimed her first
World Cup victory in her
hometown.
Martini was fastest in the
first run and had a combined
time of 1 minute, 54.543 sec-
onds, 0.167 seconds ahead of
world and Olympic champion
Tatjana Huefner, who was fas-
test in the second.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
No. 11 Indiana dealt with Penn
States tough defense the only
way it knew how with a
strong second half.
After a poor-shooting first
half, the Hoosiers clamped
down on defense in the second
and shot 65 percent from the
field to rally for a 73-54 victory
Sunday.
Penn State plays as hard as
anyone well face and as hard
as anybody in the country will
face, Hoosiers coach Tom
Crean said. We knew that we
would have to be at a high,
high level of toughness, a high
level of energy and a high level
of getting to the floor first
because thats what they do.
They also had to play at an
emotionally high level to
match the Nittany Lions, who
learned of former football
coach Joe Paternos death on
their way to the game.
Indiana held a moment of
silence in honor of Paterno just
before tipoff, some time that
clearly had the Nittany Lions
thinking about more than
basketball.
Coach Patrick Chambers
bowed his head in deep
thought and some players
tugged at the black ribbons on
their blue road jerseys as they
reflected on the impact that
Paterno had on their universi-
ty. He won an NCAA-record
409 games before getting fired
in November after child sex-
abuse charges were filed
against Jerry Sandusky, his
former defensive coordinator.
A few days after the firing,
Paterno was diagnosed with
lung cancer.
Its very sad on a variety of
levels. Our heart goes out to
his family and the entire Penn
State community, Indiana
athletic director Fred Glass
said before the game.
Virginia Tech 47, Virginia 45
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Erick Green scored 15
points, including the free
throws with 1:52 remaining to
give Virginia Tech the lead, and
Dorenzo Hudson had six
points over the final 2:12 as the
Hokies ended Virginias nine-
game home winning streak.
Hudson, who finished with
12 points, hit a baby hook with
1:11 to go to give Virginia Tech
a 44-41 lead. After a jumper by
Jontel Evans pulled Virginia
within a point, Hudson hit a
3-pointer from the left corner
with 16.5 seconds left for the
Hokies (12-7, 1-4 Atlantic Coast
Conference).
Virginia (15-3, 2-2) needed
several shots to score at the
other end, and when Joe Harris
finally banked in a putback,
only 1 second remained. Virgin-
ia shot 32.6 percent overall and
missed 13 of 14 3-point at-
tempts.
Evans, Harris and Mike Scott
all scored 10 points for the
Cavaliers.
Virginia came in second in
the nation in scoring defense,
allowing just 50.4 points. The
Hokies held the Cavaliers to a
season-low in points.
Wisconsin 67, Illinois 63
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Jordan
Taylor scored 19 points and
Jared Berggren added 18 to
lead Wisconsin.
Taylor drove into the lane
and hit a midrange jumper
with 32 seconds left to give the
Badgers (16-5, 5-3 Big Ten) a
62-57 lead in what had been a
back-and-forth battle.
Wisconsin has won four
straight after dropping three
consecutive conference games.
The Illini (15-5, 4-3) were led
by Meyers Leonards 16 points
and 11 rebounds, while Joseph
Bertrand added 15 points.

Members of the Penn State basketball team, including Holy Redeemer graduate Peter Alexis (far right), pause for a moment of
silence before a game against Indiana on Sunday afternoon in Bloomington, Ind. Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno
died Sunday morning, the family said in a statement.
Big second half lifts Hoosiers over PSU
LA QUINTA, Calif. Mark
Wilson made a 10-foot birdie putt
onthefinal holetowintheHuma-
na Challenge on Sunday, beating
Robert Garrigus, John Mallinger
and Johnson Wagner by two
strokes in a dramatic dusk finish
to the wind-delayed tournament.
Moments after Garrigus barely
missed a 35-foot eagle putt that
would have given him the lead,
Wilson coolly made his birdie try
in the disappearing light, calmly
celebrating his fifth career PGA
Tour victory.
Robert and I, going back and
forth, wereallyenjoyedthat,Wil-
sonsaid. It just came downto18,
and I didnt want to give him a
chance to make that putt to tie
me. ... Thatswhat weplayfor. You
want somebodytowinit, not nec-
essarily to lose it.
Wilson led by three strokes
Sunday morning after finishing
his third round, which was de-
layedbyferocious windSaturday.
Wilsonquicklygaveawaythelead
on the low-scoring Palmer Pri-
vatecourse, but playedbogey-free
over thefinal 15holes whileevery
other competitor dropped back
including Garrigus, who fell
out of theleadwhenhemisseda5
1/2-foot par putt on the17th.
Wilson closed with a 3-under
69tofinishat 24under, takingthe
$1,008,000 winners share of the
$5.6 million purse despite the
growing dark and cold. While
most everybody else pulled on
sweaters for the final holes, the
Wisconsinnative stayedinhis po-
lo shirt out of superstition and fa-
miliarity.
Its a feel thing, Wilson said.
Ive been playing with short
sleeves all day. I didnt just want
to put it on and get a newfeeling,
because everything was going
well.
After wind gusts topping 35
mph caused damage on all three
courses andforcedanearlyendto
Saturdays competition, the final
round stretched well past sunset
in the Coachella Valley.

A light wind off
the ocean
overnight has
brought low stra-
tus clouds and
drizzle across
our areas and in
some spots
freezing drizzle.
Be cautious.
Untreated sur-
faces may be icy
early this morn-
ing, but in most
places, the tem-
perature is just
above freezing
and the pave-
ment is wet.
Temperatures
today will slowly
rise into the 40s
with plain rain
this afternoon.
Dense fog will
also be an issue
for travelers,
especially over
the mountains.
The rain will end
early tonight and
temperatures
will stay above
freezing
overnight.
Sunshine returns
Tuesday with
above-average
temperatures
lasting through
mid-week.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-

For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im
writing this because
I hope you will tell
your readers to learn
the signs of a stroke.
I wish I had known.
I was visiting my
grandma seven years
ago. During dinner she had a stroke.
I knew something was wrong, but
wasnt sure what it was. My sister
and I asked her if she wanted to go to
the hospital, but she said no. We re-
spected her wishes and didnt insist.
We finally took her two days later.
Abby, my grandmother never spoke
again. She spent her last seven years
aware of what she wanted to say, but
unable to say it. The guilt I carry is
hard to live with.
Please tell your readers to make
sure they know the signs of a stroke
and to remember that the first three
hours after a stroke are CRITICAL.
If you suspect that your loved one is
having a stroke, get that person to a
hospital FAST, even if they dont want
to go! You cant take back the damage
a stroke causes.
My grandmother is gone now and
I miss her terribly. She was a loving
grandparent, and I hope shell for-
give me.
Missing Her in Utah
Dear Missing Her: What happened
to your grandmother was tragic, but
you were no more at fault than the
millions of others who are also un-
aware of the signs of stroke. In your
grandmothers memory, Ill describe
them.
The most common stroke symp-
toms are: sudden numbness or
weakness of the face, arm or leg
especially on one side of the body.
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking
or understanding. Sudden trouble
seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden
trouble walking, dizziness, loss of bal-
ance or coordination. Sudden severe
headache with no known cause.
Other important but common
symptoms include: sudden nausea,
fever and vomiting distinguished
from a viral illness by the speed of on-
set (minutes or hours versus several
days), and brief loss of consciousness
such as fainting or convulsions.
If you see or have any of these
symptoms, call 911! Every minute
counts, and treatment can be more ef-
fective if its given quickly.
Dear Abby: My 20-year-old god-
daughter is pregnant. She is beauti-
ful, smart and talented. Her boyfriend
is wonderful to her and they are very
happy together. My problem is people
who frown on her happiness. I am
regularly asked if Im disappointed in
her. My response is: Its unexpected,
but we will make the best of it. She
and her boyfriend both work and have
a great support network.
I think its rude of people to assume
that this is bad news. How do I re-
spond to those who are so oblivious?
Offended Aunt in Scranton, Pa.
Dear Offended: The way you are
answering them is appropriate,
positive and polite. You need no help
from me.
To My Asian Readers: This is the
Year of the Dragon, a symbol of
power and good fortune. Those born
in the Year of the Dragon are confi-
dent, brave and fearless. A symbol of
strength in Asian culture, the dragon
once symbolized the emperor of
China. I wish a healthy, happy and
prosperous New Year to all of you.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Recognizing the signs of a stroke can help save some valuable time
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
believe in what your parents and
peers believe in to some extent.
You also have beliefs that you
dont share often, so its nice
when a like-minded person voic-
es a similar opinion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
persuade a skeptical audience.
Its not so much what you say,
but how you say it. You talk
as though you know that your
words are true and that they
matter.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Getting
yourself to focus may be a chal-
lenge. You know that there is fun
to be had, and your plan for the
day and additional responsibili-
ties dont seem quite as exciting
as the big world outside.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
know what youre going to do.
How youre going to do it is the
big question. You need a guide.
A book or an article will help you
get closer to the person who can
help the most.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll take
on projects that you have no
idea how youre going to com-
plete. But the first step is just
to move. Dont worry about the
end game right now. Just get in
motion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Each day
your experiences teach you and
help you gain greater control
over your state of mind. Youll
align yourself emotionally with
what you want to experience.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are
loved, and you feel it, though
you dont always know where
that love is coming from. Youll
receive love from afar today as
someone dreams of you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
know how to take action, but
its not always as inspired as the
whimsical and brilliant move you
make today. Your passion for life
is strong and growing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Its nice to get an overview of
where youre headed, as long
as you dont let the big picture
overwhelm you. Its not neces-
sary to know every step.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Friendship is something you
can only learn by doing. Each
exchange will teach you some-
thing new. Today a friend will
reach out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
be waiting in a line of sorts.
Instead of getting antsy, try to
read the faces of the people
around you. Take a guess at
what the story is for each per-
son. Youll be inspired by using
your imagination in this way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Fresh
starts and new endeavors will
capture your fancy. You have the
energy to take action. You dont
have to be the leader this time,
but youll definitely be watching
that position and taking notes.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 23).
This year brings a wonderful
epiphany about your vital pur-
pose and place in the world.
Deals in February favor you.
March brings a romantic propos-
al. Through June and July youll
seize the chance to mix things
up, with unplanned travel, spon-
taneous dates and unexpected
deviations from your usual style.
Sagittarius and Virgo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 14, 33, 1 and 20.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Noncoal Surface Mining
Conservation and Reclamation Act No.
1984-219, as amended, and the Clean
Streams Law, notice is hereby given that
Popple Construction, Inc., 215 E. Saylor
Ave, Wilkes Barre, PA 18702, has submit-
ted revisions to the Application for a Large
Noncoal Surface Mining Permit for
Rushville Quarry, Rush Township, Susque-
hanna County, to the PA Department of
Environmental Protection, Pottsville Dis-
trict Office for review and approval. The
proposed quarry floor is above the local
water table, and no groundwater will be
pumped from the mining area. The cur-
rent land use of the site is active quarry-
ing, as well as unmanaged natural habitat.
The proposed permit area is 158.0 acres
and is situated 0.7 miles North along State
Route 858, off PA Route 706. The Lawton,
PA U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute
topographic map contains the area
described, specifically 16 inches West and
9 inches North of the lower right-hand cor-
ner. A total of 95.5 acres is proposed for
mining, with 37.9 acres included as Phase
I of mining and support. The receiving
stream for the proposed permit area is the
North Branch Wyalusing Creek CWF, MF.
The revised application includes a request
for an Individual National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System (NPDES) Per-
mit to address stormwater runoff from the
proposed mine area. Three (3) outfalls
are proposed to wetlands associated with
receiving streams Tributary 29704 and
Tributary 29703 to North Branch Wyalus-
ing Creek. Discharge will occur in
response to precipitation.
The application includes a request to
remove approximately 0.02 acres of wet-
lands in conjunction with mining. The
application also includes requests for vari-
ances to complete the following support
activities within the 100-foot setback of
