Prosecutors say a Binghamton cou-

ple, described as white supremacists,
robbed and killed a black man on the
city’s West Side in 2015 after the woman
told her boyfriend the other man had
raped her.
Details of what prosecutors call a
“mixed-motive case” against Ariana
Edwards, 38, were revealed Wednes-
day in Broome County Court, ahead of
her Jan. 30 trial in connection with the
Aug. 22, 2015, death of 38-year-old Mi-
chael C. Thomas inside a Mather Street
apartment. The victim’s body was
found two weeks later, and police say
his death was ruled a homicide.

New Year’s baby comes home

On the first day of the year, the first baby born to
Julie Grover, 29, and Eddie Jones, 42, of Afton, came
into the world at 9:43 a.m. and brought a few sur-
prises with him.
He was ahead of schedule, so Grover and Jones
were forced to nix those New Year’s Eve plans when
at 3:10 p.m. they arrived at UHS Wilson Medical Cen-
ter, Grover said.
His gender was a surprise, too. His parents elected
not to find out the baby’s gender be-
forehand, but they had a feeling it
would be a girl.
At 5 pounds, 7 ounces and 18.5
inches long, the newest member of
the family brought tears of joy to his
parents and an extra surprise for his
great-grandmother, Beverly Anne
Jones.

Cuomo warns Trump on Alleged accomplice, other

effects of Obamacare cuts
JOSEPH SPECTOR
JSPECTOR@PRESSCONNECTS.COM
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo
warned President-elect Donald Trump
on Wednesday of a “dramatic impact”
on New Yorkers if Trump moves ahead
with a repeal and replace of the Afford-
able Care Act.
The meeting at Trump Tower was the
first face-to-face sit down between the
two New Yorkers, who are both Queens
natives, since Trump was elected.
After releasing his proposed state
budget late Tuesday, Cuomo said he
raised concerns about cuts to so-called
Obamacare being planned by Trump
and congressional Republicans.
“We discussed how the Affordable
Care Act affects New York and the pit-
falls of a repeal plan, which would be
dramatic on the state of New York,” Cu-
omo told reporters after the hour-long
meeting.
Cuomo’s office last month said about
2.7 million New Yorkers would lose
health insurance if a repeal moved for-
ward.
That would translate into a $3.7 bil-
lion budget hit to New York, state offi-
cials have warned.
Cuomo said the meeting was “not ad-
versarial,” and Trump was well aware

of the federal proposals being discuss-
ed.
But the Democratic governor said he
wanted to aware Trump of the impact on
New York and other large states if fed-
eral policies are changed.
“We just finished our New York state
budget, and many of the issues that are
being discussed in Washington would
have a profound effect on New York,”

witnesses called to stand
in Clayton murder trial

Michael Beard, the man convicted of
killing Town of Caton resident Kelley
Clayton, traveled to the Clayton home
the week before the murder in a truck
owned by her husband, Thomas, accord-
ing to another former Clayton employee
who testified at his murder trial
Wednesday.
Larry Johnson, who said he worked
at Thomas Clayton's home remediation
franchise, Paul Davis, and later worked
for ServPro, another home remediation
business where Clayton worked, took
the stand Wednesday afternoon.
Johnson was the 10th witness called
by special prosecutor Weeden Wetmore
in Clayton's trial. Clayton, a Bingham-
ton native and former Elmira Jackals
hockey player, is charged with first- and
second-degree murder for what prose-
cutors describe as a murder-for-hire
scheme.
Johnson said he and Beard did some
work for another former ServPro em-
ployee, Kevin Morris of Wellsburg, in
September 2015.

On Sept. 23, less than a week before
Kelley Clayton was bludgeoned to death
in her Ginnan Road home, Johnson said
he and Beard finished work in Wells-
burg late in the evening and that John-
son drove Beard back to his Elmira
Heights apartment.
But when they got there, Beard had
him drive a few blocks away, where he
saw a white pickup truck that he recog-
nized as belonging to Thomas Clayton.
Johnson testified that he and Beard
drove the truck out to a rural road. He
had been to the Clayton residence on
several occasions and said he recog-
nized the location as the road Clayton
lived on.
Beard then took a bicycle out of the
back of the truck and rode off, returning
a short time later, Johnson said. Then

UNIONDALE - Offi-
cials with Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey say
the iconic traveling cir-
cus’ final show at the
newly renovated Nassau
Veterans Memorial Coli-
seum on Long Island is
sold out.
An announcement was
made last week that the
“Greatest Show on
Earth” would be shutting
down this spring after
touring for nearly 150
years.
The circus will be at
the arena in Uniondale
for 16 performances
from May 12-21.
Newsday reports that
seats normally going for
$23.75 in the venue’s up-
per level and $191.75 in
the lower level are priced
on the secondary market
at $245 and $2,000, re-
spectively, for the circus’
last show.
Officials with Feld En-
tertainment, the pro-
ducer of Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey, say
declining ticket sales
coupled with high operat-
ing costs made the circus
an unsustainable busi-
ness.

boyfriend, Bradley
Miles, countered that
Judge Joseph Cawley
should not allow prosecu-
tors to use any prejudi-
cial “white supremacist”
characterization against
her. On Wednesday, Caw-
ley heard arguments on
the issue during a pretrial
hearing.
Assistant District At-
torney Joshua Shapiro
briefly detailed his dual-
motive theory: a robbery
that resulted in the vic-
tim’s death, and evidence
alleging Edwards and
Miles are white suprema-
cists.
“It’s our position that
(Edwards) told Bradley
Miles that Michael Thom-
as raped her ... to manip-
ulate her white suprema-
cist boyfriend to commit
this crime,” Shapiro said
in court Wednesday.
Although Edwards is
not charged with a hate
crime, prosecutors are
using the allegation as a
component of what
sparked the crime. Evi-
dence, including various
racist writings connected
to the defendant, would
be introduced at trial to
help support this argu-
ment, Shapiro said.
Defense lawyer Ron
Lanouette, who is repre-
senting Edwards in court,
said he will make specific
arguments against the
prosecution’s white su-
premacist claims in court
filings ahead of the trial.
Cawley is expected to
review court filings from
both sides and determine
to what extent, if any, the
prosecution will be al-
lowed to pursue that the-
ory once the trial begins.

ter written by Edwards
asking Miles’ wife to “do
something” to a witness
she claimed was a snitch.
This information comes
from a confidential in-
formant who overheard
details about it during a
jailhouse conversation,
Shapiro said.
Circumstances sur-
rounding Thomas’ homi-
cide also involved allega-
tions of heroin use, ac-
cording to prosecutors,
who said the victim’s
throat was slit during the
deadly robbery.
Thomas, a father of
four, had lived in Bing-
hamton for 15 years be-
fore his death, his family
members have said.
Edwards has pleaded
not guilty to felony
counts of second-degree
murder and first-degree
robbery in connection
with Thomas’ death. She
also was indicted sepa-
rately on a felony count of
intimidating a witness,
for allegedly threatening
one of the prosecution’s
witnesses from testifying
against her.

Schools, cities get more Pennsylvania prosecutor

wiggle room under tax cap
State’s new figure gets significant
hike for fiscal year beginning July 1
JOSEPH SPECTOR
JSPECTOR@PRESSCONNECTS.COM
ALBANY — Schools
and the state’s largest cit-
ies will have some more
flexibility when they go
to voters in May for bud-
get approval.
The property-tax cap
will be 1.26 percent for
the fiscal year that starts
July 1, significantly high-
er than it is in the current
year, Comptroller Thom-
as DiNapoli said Wednes-
day.
The new cap figure im-
pacts nearly 700 school
districts in New York and
10 cities, including Cor-
ning and the “big four” of
Buffalo, Rochester, Syra-
cuse and Yonkers —
which also have a July 1
start date.
In the current year,
schools had to grapple
with a 0.12 percent cap on
their tax levies — the low-
est since the cap was in-
stalled in 2011.
The cap is either 2 per-
cent or the rate of infla-
tion, whichever is lower.
So with low inflation in re-
cent years, the cap has
hovered below 2 percent.

State aid fight
starts
Schools have clam-
ored for more state aid to
offset the limits on how
much revenue they can
raise through property
taxes.
Cuomo countered
Tuesday in his budget
presentation that school
aid has soared $6 billion
since he took office, in-
cluding 6.5 percent in the
current fiscal year.
Cuomo is proposing a
$1 billion increase in
school aid for the state’s
fiscal year, which starts
April 1.
Bob Lowry, deputy di-
rector of the Council of
School Superintendents,
said the cap and school
aid both need to be taken
into consideration when
districts are preparing
their budgets, saying Cu-
omo’s proposal offers a
“credible starting point
for negotiations.”
“But combined with
what schools could raise
locally within the tax cap,
that aid increase would
leave most well short of
the revenue they will
need to maintain current
services for students,”
Lowry said.
probing truck sporting
anti-MLK imagery
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - A
truck sporting images
and messages against
slain civil rights leader
Martin Luther King Jr.
has drawn the attention
of western Pennsylvania
authorities.
It was seen around
Johnstown on the King
holiday, featuring a sign
extolling King assassin
James Earl Ray, a Con-
federate flag, a dark
stuffed animal hanging
from a noose and a man-
nequin of a black man.
But the American Civ-
il Liberties Union says
the truck displays are
protected free speech.
“He has a right to say
those things,” the ACLU
said in a statement Tues-
day. “The First Amend-
ment gives you the right
to say things that are ob-
noxious and wrong, and
this is both.”
Still, Johnstown police
and the Cambria County
district attorney’s office
are investigating wheth-
er charges of ethnic in-
timidation might be filed
against the truck’s own-
er, who hasn’t been pub-
licly identified.
At least one picture of
the truck surfaced on
Facebook after it was
seen around Johnstown
on Monday.
A sign on the truck’s
tailgate said, “In Loving
Memory of James Earl
Ray.” A black manne-
quin’s head hung over the
tailgate on one side of the
truck, with the stuffed
animal hanging on the
other side.
“We’re actively work-
ing on this with the
Johnstown Police De-
partment … to determine
whether there is any-
thing more to this than
the photo,” First Assis-
tant District Attorney
Heath Long said.
Among other things,
investigators are trying
to determine whether
other incidents involving
the driver might have
crossed the line from
free speech to criminal
behavior.
Interim police Chief
Jeff Janciga called the
image “in poor taste any
time of the year” but
even more so on the King
holiday. But he reiterated
that hateful speech is of-
ten protected, noting a
Kansas church known
nationwide for picketing
the funerals of gays and
others it opposes.
“Look at the Westboro
Baptist Church and what
they do at funerals,” he
said.

Suspect holds up
Kwik Fill, police say
Binghamton police are
looking for a suspect in
the Jan. 11 armed robbery
of a Kwik Fill gas station.
The suspect, wearing a
dark-colored hoodie and
orange face covering,
walked into the store at 23
Floral Ave. and demanded
money from the cashier,
according to police.
A security video from
the Kwik Fill depicts the
suspect brandishing what
appears to be a handgun.
He was also carrying a
New York Giants bag.
No injuries were re-

Woman arrested at
gas station
A Whitney Point wom-
an is accused of drunken
driving, which state po-
lice say resulted in her ar-
rest at a Town of Triangle
gas station.
Heidi L. Cronin, 42,
was arrested around 4:30
p.m. Saturday after troop-
ers responded to a 911 call
reporting an intoxicated
woman at the Speedway
gas station on Route 8, ac-
cording to troopers.
She drove into the
28 Years Experience
parking lot and stopped,
troopers said, then start-
ed flailing her arms and
kicking at troopers trying
to handcuff her. Her blood
alcohol content at the time
of the incident was 0.18
percent, according to
troopers.
Cronin was charged
with misdemeanor counts
of aggravated driving
while intoxicated and re-
sisting arrest, along with
other traffic tickets. She
was sent to the Broome
County jail and scheduled
to appear in Triangle
Town Court at a later date.

troopers say
An emergency medical
technician was choked
and injured by his ambu-

The incident unfolded
around 1 a.m. Sunday
while a Town of Moravia
EMT was helping trans-
port 48-year-old Christo-
pher Davis, a Moravia
resident who received a
head injury that evening
while at a bar, troopers
choked the EMT, injuring
his throat, according to
troopers.
The EMT was treated
at Cortland Regional
Medical Center, where
troopers also responded
and arrested the combat-
ive patient several hours
later upon release from
the hospital.
Davis was charged
with a felony count of sec-
ond-degree assault and a
misdemeanor count of
criminal obstruction of
breathing or blood circu-
lation. He was sent to the
Cortland County jail with
bail set at $2,500 cash or
$5,000 bond, to await fur-
ther court proceedings.

Probation sentence in
shoving of autistic teen
DAVID ANDREATTA
DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE
The Pittsford man con-
victed of harassing an au-
tistic teenage cross-coun-
try runner in Cobb’s Hill
Park in October was sen-
tenced in Rochester City
Court on Tuesday to three
years of probation and 80
hours of community ser-
vice.
Martin MacDonald,
57, had pleaded guilty to a
charge of second-degree
harassment, which is a vi-
olation, and a charge of
endangering the welfare
of a child, which is a mis-
demeanor punishable by
up to one year in jail.
His sentence was in
line with what the prose-
cution had requested and
included an order barring
him from contacting the
teenager, Chase Coleman,
or his family for five
years. MacDonald’s attor-
ney, Gary Gianforti,
asked that only communi-
ty service be imposed.
Prior to sentencing, a
tearful MacDonald read a
statement in which he
apologized to Coleman
and his family, who were
in the gallery, and said he
had been volunteering
with an autism advocacy
group to learn more about
the condition. MacDonald
said he had no idea that
Coleman was autistic and
revealed that he was once
a high school cross-coun-
try runner whose home
course was in Cobb’s Hill
Park.
“I hope you can find it
in your heart to forgive
me,” MacDonald said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mammograms should be encouraged
I am writing in response to the Jan. 10 article
regarding mammograms. I was quite upset that this
article will now have women questioning whether
they may need a mammogram.
The article describes how many women are being
“overdiagnosed,” and having biopsies and tests that
may not be needed, even though the mammogram
may show suspicious findings. It also refers to the
recommended yearly screening rate going from 40
and older to “45-54, followed by screenings every
other year after that.”
First of all, as a breast cancer survivor as well as
a nurse, I think most women would want to have
further tests done to validate a diagnosis. If I sat on
my mammogram findings at age 41, which showed
increased density in one breast for a year or longer,
I wouldn’t be here at age 61. By having a follow-up
mammogram in seven months, my physician was
able to detect a cancerous tumor, and proceed with
surgery and treatment.
Breast cancer in pre-menopausal women is usu-
ally very aggressive, and time is a huge factor. So I
obviously am not in favor of moving the screening
rates from 40 to 45. I think most women are OK with
ruling out cancer with further tests.
We should continue to encourage women to have
mammograms and not discourage it. Lives are at
stake.

In defense of Meryl Streep

I read with dismay the letter about Meryl Streep
in Friday’s paper. I feel that the writer who charac-
terized Ms. Streep and others in Hollywood as “vic-
tims” entirely missed the point of Ms. Streep’s
speech. The speech was meant for all to see our
future president as the bully that he is.
It does not take anyone long to figure out that his
diatribes are callous, hurtful and disrespectful to
the citizens of our country when they do not fit in his

the unenviable job of covering his mistakes every

her courage to say what she thinks in this free coun-

Treat animals as you would children
Daily, animals are getting abused all over the
country.
Each state has its own laws and regulations re-
garding animal abuse. New York state is ranked
thirty-six out of the 50 states in the United States
(No. 1 having the greatest laws, No. 50 having the
worst).
Animal abuse can range from leaving your pet in
a hot car on a summer day to physically abusing
them. Pit bulls are the most abused animal through-
out the United States of America due to dog fighting.
Dogs are even stolen from their owners’ fenced-in
yards and then sold to other people on the internet.
There is never any excuse for treating your pet that
way, under any circumstance, even if it genuinely is
an accident.
Owning a pet should be a privilege, as it is to own
a child. Adopting a child and adopting an animal
should have the same criteria deciding whether
you’re eligible or not. Not everyone looks at it the
same way, but animals need love and companionship
just as much as us humans do. They’re not meant to
be locked up outside, used for fighting, neglected,
etc. If you wouldn’t treat your child/family members
like this, think twice next time you are treating your
pet this way.

Not enough parking for non-students
Years ago, when Binghamton’s population was
near 80,000 people and the city was vibrant with real
businesses, there wasn’t a parking problem. Now
with half the population, parking is almost impos-
sible.
The city wasted $50,000 on a study. As a result,
parking meters will be replaced, there will be less
angle parking, and the unsafe ramp was torn down.
The problem is the city is oversaturated with
student housing with no requirements for parking,
and they keep approving more. The Press Building
will be occupied by 270 students. Parking where?
The students already pay a monthly fee to park in
the ramps. Where do us non-students park?
Can a downtown survive without any parking and
only one source of income? Time will tell. Mean-
while, the rest of us will shop where there is park-
ing, and it will be free.

JPMorgan settles
mortgage bias
lawsuit for $55M
NEW YORK - JPMor-
gan Chase will pay $55
million to settle federal
charges that independent
brokers working for the
bank discriminated
against minorities seek-
ing home mortgages dur-
ing the housing crisis.
While the settlement is
not a big financial dent to
the giant bank, the cases
illustrate the depth of the
mortgage quagmire that
has trailed the financial
sector for a decade.
A federal suit filed in
Manhattan Wednesday
accused JPMorgan Chase
& Co. of charging black
and Hispanic borrowers
higher interest rates and
fees for mortgages from
2006 to at least 2009. The
lawsuit alleges that dis-
crimination cost at least
53,000 minority borrow-
ers tens of millions in
higher interest payments
and fees, in violation of
the Fair Housing Act.
The New York bank de-
nied wrongdoing, but says
it’s agreed to settle the
claims.
“We’ve agreed to settle
these legacy allegations
that relate to pricing set
by independent brokers,”

BUFFALO - The Buffa-

birth of an ocelot kitten.
Zoo officials say the
ocelot population is doing
well in South America, but
that there may be fewer

golden-haired cats are
found in Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana.
The Buffalo Zoo’s male
ocelot was born in Novem-

nounced on Tuesday,
along with a list of possi-

name the kitten either Ja-

Scott Pruitt is nominated
to lead the EPA, an agency
he has sued several times.
“I do not believe that climate
change is a hoax,” Pruitt said in
response to questions from Sen.

confirmation hearing before
the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee.
When pressed by Sen. Bernie
Sanders, I-Vt., Pruitt would not
say human activity is the pri-
mary cause of climate change.
Most scientists say the burning
of oil, gas and coal to generate
power is the main factor creat-
ing climate change. Oil and nat-
ural gas are major industries in
Oklahoma.
“Science tells us the climate
is changing and human activity
in some matter impacts that
change,” Pruitt said. “The abili-

In Trump, said G. Terry Ma-

Franklin & Marshall College in
Lancaster, Pa., voters — especially
white, working-class ones —
heard an economic and cultural
clarion call they hadn’t heard
since Reagan: Their losses could
be reversed.
Trade deals could be torn up.
Coal could be big again. Manufac-
turing could return.
“These are people whose lives

Trump sign and chanting, “White

“I think we are going back-
wards,” she said, noting she be-
lieves “the whole reason they
thought they could do that” was
because of Trump’s campaign
rhetoric comparing Mexicans to
rapists, criticizing Muslims as not

President calls it a wrap in an optimistic, wide-ranging session
Gregory Korte
@gregorykorte
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON President Obama
brimmed with optimism in an
upbeat final news conference
Wednesday, championing Ameri-
ca’s diversity and encouraging cit-
izens to do more to advance
voting rights.
“I believe in this country. I be-
lieve in the American people,”
Obama said in a warm farewell to
reporters. “I believe that people
are more good than bad. I believe
tragic things happen. I think
there’s evil in the world. But I
think at the end of the day, if we
work hard and if we’re true to
those things in us that feel true
and feel right, that the world gets
a little better each time.
“That’s what this presidency
has tried to be about,” he said.
Obama used his last news con-
ference to defend his decision to
release Army Pvt. Chelsea Man-
ning, convicted of espionage for
leaking secrets to WikiLeaks — as
in the interests of justice. “I
looked at the particulars of this
case the same way I have the oth-
er commutations and pardons
that I’ve done. And I felt that in
light of all the circumstances, that
commuting her sentence was en-
tirely appropriate,” he said.
And he left with some words
for the White House press corps.
“You’re not supposed to be syco-
phants, you’re supposed to be
skeptics. You’re supposed to ask
me tough questions. You’re not
supposed to be complimentary,
but you’re supposed to cast a
critical eye on folks who hold
enormous power and make sure
that we are accountable to the
people who sent us here,” he said.
“And you have done that.”
But in a crowded White House
briefing room, Obama carefully
selected reporters from foreign
and specialty news outlets, all
but ensuring he would answer
“I think at
the end of
the day, if
we work
hard and if
we’re true to
those things
in us that feel
true and feel
right, that the
world gets a
little better
each time.”
President Obama was in an optimistic mood Wednesday for
his final news conference as president.
questions on immigration, the
Middle East, gay rights and race
relations.
In perhaps his strongest lan-
guage, he condemned efforts to
restrict voting and dismissed re-
ports of widespread voter fraud
as “fake news.”
“There’s an ugly history to that
that we should not be shy about
talking about. Yes, I’m talking
about voting rights,” Obama said.
“It traces directly back to Jim
Crow and the legacy of slavery,
and it became acceptable to re-
strict the franchise. That’s not
who we are. That shouldn’t be
who we are. That’s not how
America works best.”
In keeping with an unabashed-
ly optimistic tone, Obama also ac-
knowledged that the country has
made progress on racial and so-
cial issues, and he promised he
won’t be the last black president.
ERIK S. LESSER, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY
“If, in fact, we continue to keep
opportunity open to everybody,
then, yes, we’re going to have a
woman president, we’re going to
have a Latino president, and we’ll
have a Jewish president, a Hindu
president. Who knows who we’re
going to have?”
Obama said he’s particularly
proud of the “transformation” on
gay rights during his presidency,
which saw monumental Supreme
Court decisions on gays in the
military and same-sex marriage.
Obama said his role was mostly to
deliver “a good block downfield to
help the movement advance.”
He said gay and lesbian activ-
ists deserve most of the credit,
and he singled out talk-show host
Ellen DeGeneres, to whom he
awarded the Presidential Medal
of Freedom last year.

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and other
Dow financial shares shot up after
Trump’s win. The idea of less regula-

the prospect of rising interest rates
put banks in the “Trump rally” sweet

stalled since Jan. 6, the same day the
Dow came within a single point of

SPENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES
After closing in on Dow 20,000,
traders on the floor of the New
York Stock Exchange have seen
losses in six of seven sessions.
Goldman Sachs ran up 35% from
Election Day until Jan. 6 and was the
Dow’s top performer in that span. But
since then, it has been among the
Dow’s worst performers, tumbling
more than 4%. In a sign of how the
bank rally has stalled, Goldman shares
fell 0.6% Wednesday despite reporting
quarterly earnings and revenue results
that exceeded analyst expectations.
“The first leg of the ‘Trump trade’ is
largely over,” Jason Trennert of Wall
Street firm Strategas Research Part-
ners said in a note. “The next leg of the
Trump trade will come when we learn
more about specifics of corporate tax
reform and deregulation.”
IMAGINARY CEILING HALTS RISE
Big round numbers such as Dow
20,000 often act like an impenetrable
ceiling that takes time to break

a period.
The best example might be what
happened to the Dow around 1,000,
says Bob Baur, chief global economist
at Principal. He notes the Dow came
within five points of topping 1,000 in
February 1965. But the Dow didn’t
close above 1,000 until Nov. 14, 1972,

His hearing, which was sched-

Kevin McCoy
@kmccoynyc
USA TODAY
The nation’s largest student
loan servicer was hit with a
Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau lawsuit over allegations
it has “systematically and ille-
gally” failed borrowers.
Navient, formerly part of Sal-
lie Mae, created repayment ob-
stacles for tens of thousands of
student borrowers by providing
incorrect payment information,
processing payments incorrect-
ly and failing to act when bor-
rowers complained, according
to the federal lawsuit filed
Wednesday in the middle dis-
trict of Pennsylvania.
The company also cheated
borrowers out of their rights to
lower repayments, according to
the CFPB lawsuit, which seeks
financial relief for student bor-
rowers who were harmed.
“For years, Navient
failed consumers
who counted on
the company to
pay back their
student loans.”
CFPB Director Richard Cordray
“For years, Navient failed
consumers who counted on the
company to pay back their stu-
dent loans,” CFPB Director
Richard Cordray said.
Navient services the loans of
more than 12 million borrow-
ers, including more than six
million accounts under a con-
tract with the U.S. Department
of Education. In all, the compa-
ny services more than $300 bil-
lion in federal and private
student loans.
The CFPB civil action also
targets Navient Solutions, a
company division responsible
for loan servicing, and Pioneer
Credit Recovery, a subsidiary
that specializes in collections
on loans that fall into default.
“The allegations of the Con-
sumer Financial Protection Bu-
reau are unfounded, and the
timing of this lawsuit — mid-
night action filed on the eve of a
new (U.S. presidential) admini-
stration — reflects their politi-
cal motivations,” Navient said
in a statement issued in re-
sponse to the legal action.
According to the CFPB, stu-
dent loans comprise the sec-
ond-largest U.S. consumer debt
market, with consumers collec-
tively owing roughly $1.4 tril-
lion on more than 44 million
federal and private loans.
“I think I’ve probably
had more direct
experience than any
prior Cabinet
nominee has had
with unfair trade.”
Wilbur Ross, nominee for
Commerce secretary
stated plans to re-examine global
trade and bring private-sector ex-
perts to produce more jobs and
favorable trade terms for U.S.
companies. And Ross’ role is ex-
pected to be expanded beyond
the traditional parameters of
Commerce secretary so he can
work with other trade officials.
“I’ve made my livelihood for
over five decades dealing in inter-
national commerce,” Ross said. “I
think I’ve probably had more di-
rect experience than any prior
Cabinet nominee has had with
unfair trade in the steel business,
in the textile business, in the auto
parts business and other sectors.”

Beige book: Economy grew modestly in late 2016

Paul Davidson
@Pdavidsonusat
USA TODAY
The economy expanded mod-
estly in most of the country late
last year, with manufacturing re-
bounding and retail sales increas-
ing, but the holiday shopping
season was generally disappoint-
ing, the Federal Reserve said
Wednesday.
Growth was modest in the
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta,
Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis
and Kansas City, Mo., Fed bank
districts, the Fed said in its beige
book, which provides an anecdot-
al summary of the economy.
Gains were moderate in Rich-
mond, Va., Dallas and San Fran-
cisco; “modest to moderate” in
Boston; and flat in New York.
The report, which covered late
November through December,
was largely similar to previous
versions that tracked a modest
pickup in activity in most areas.
The good news is that manu-
facturers in most regions “report-
ed increased sales with several
citing a turnaround versus earlier

Manufacturing in most re-
gions had increased sales, the
Federal Reserve data showed.
in 2016,” the beige book said. The
rise in oil prices last year spurred
many crude producers to restart
shuttered wells and ramp up or-
ders for steel pipes and other ma-
terials. Although two districts
cited weakness in coal produc-
tion, “others reported improve-
ments in coal, oil or gas activity,”
the report said. That’s consistent
with recent data that show gains
in factory activity and output.
Meanwhile, job growth grew at
a “slight to moderate” pace as
wages rose modestly. But many
regions continued to struggle to
find skilled workers in the tight-
ening labor market, and several
even faced hurdles “recruiting for
less skilled jobs.” Many districts
said they expected the market to
tighten further this year, “with
wage pressures likely to rise and
the pace of hiring to hold steady
or increase.”
Average monthly job growth
slowed last year to 180,000 from
229,000 in 2015, largely because
employers scrambled to find
workers as the unemployment
rate dipped below 5%. Mean-
while, average wage gains
climbed to nearly 3% throughout
2016 from the roughly 2% pace
that prevailed for most of the eco-
nomic recovery.

up the vocal cords of Sabers supporters.
A timeout was called shortly after
Holly Manchester’s fast-break bucket
and subsequent free throw, and SV sum-
marily turned over the basketball out of
that break. To come was the put-away
stretch of basketball.
Strawn bagged two free throws after
being whacked on a shot from near the
top of the key, and 20 seconds thereafter
made a steal and dribbled four-fifths of
the surface for a layup and 55-45 advan-
tage with 2:57 remaining.
Lexi Levy accepted a long feed ahead
and finished for the next points, and the
remaining 2:12 was largely a formality.
Manchester had 15 points to top Sus-
quehanna Valley, three of them created
by a strength-taxing heave ahead of the
halftime buzzer virtually certain to
achieve “most-viewed” status on press-
connects.com.
“The thing I felt we weren’t doing was
playing our game the last time we played
them, we let them dictate play,” said
Saints coach Colleen Jayne. “We fell into
what they wanted us to do instead of
what we do, and part of that is scoring, on
the fast break or just in general, getting
all of our weapons moving.”
And so the visitors did just that in the
rematch, atop fairly well ruling SV in the
rebounding category. Regardless of
what the final tally sheet may read, an
overwhelming majority of meaningful,
possession-deciding rebounds landed in
Saintly clutches.
Strawn stamped her mark on this one
early— in accordance with her coach’s
advice.
Early on came a duck to the rim for
two on her strong side, and next a similar
path down the left side of the lane but
this time accentuated by a catchy little
right-handed scoop. A bit after, she

Ross made the first free throw but
missed the next two.
Annie Ramil finished with a game-
high 33 points and hit six 3-pointers to
pace Binghamton, which received nine
points on three 3s from Lexi Gruss.
Maine-Endwell visits Vestal on Fri-
day.
Norwich 54, Chenango Forks 42:
Norwich went on a 17-10 fourth-quarter
run to secure a STAC road victory. Ma-
kenzie Maynard scored nine of her
game-high 24 points in the final period
and made all four of the Purple Tornado’s
3-pointers. Teammate Meghan Komen-
darek contributed 14 points.
Katie Flynn led the Blue Devils with
13 points and five steals. She scored nine
points in third quarter, helping to cut
Chenango Forks’ deficit to 37-32. The
Blue Devils also got a whopping 15
blocks from Lyndsey Stone, who scored
eight points.
Corning 53, Union-Endicott 42: Tay-
lor Herberger scored a game-high 12
points to lift Corning to a STAC win over
the hosts. The Hawks outscored the Ti-
gers, 17-11, in third quarter to take a 37-28
lead. Herberger made two 3-pointers in
the quarter and finished with four.

Seton Catholic Central guard Hanna Strawn looks for a lane against Susquehanna Valley guard
Trinasia Kennedy on Wednesday.
screened — such as her frame allows —
for Julia Hauer to can one from the el-
bow, next set up Ava McCann for a 3-
point goal from the corner, then fed Ma-
rina Maerkl for a middie from the base-
line.
The Saints’ opening-quarter scoring
was capped by McCann, who flushed her
second threebie aided by a nifty leave
from Hauer. And talk about an eye-pleas-
ing delivery? Watch the flaxen-haired
lass receive, set and launch— and ad-
mire execution even more than result.
This one threatened to get uncomfort-
ably away from SV’s grasp in the second
quarter after Maeve Donnelly’s success-
ful 15-foot offering had SV within a point
midway in.
Strawn, after a short respite brought
on by lunging into mug-to-hardwood con-
“Herberger’s four 3-pointers were
the big difference in the game,” U-E
coach Mike Howell said. “She hit those at
the right time.”
Kristen Coyle’s 10 points paced the Ti-
gers (3-9).
Elmira 50, Horseheads 37: Freshman
point guard Kiara Fisher had 15 points,
nine assists and six steals at Horseheads
Middle School to help Elmira clinch the
STAC West Division title for the second

Zaria DeMember-Shazer finished
with 10 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks
and five steals for Elmira (11-1, 9-0),
which has five conference games left.
Zaria Thomas scored 11 points to move
within 25 of 1,000 at the varsity level for
the Express, who received 11 rebounds
and eight points from Tess Arnold, and
nine points from Alexus Boorse.
Elmira led, 23-18, at the half en route
to a third victory over the Blue Raiders
(4-8, 3-6) in three games this season.
Jenna Richmond had 13 points, in-
cluding three 3-pointers, for Horse-
heads. Abby Clark contributed 10 points

tact, stuck a 3-pointer from high on the
right wing, and came back with another
lefty drive/righty finish — and still an-
other spill to the deck — aided by Levy’s
pass from the backcourt. That made it a
28-22 Seton CC lead.
A closing flurry to the half brought a
mid-range jumper from Levy with 38
seconds left, a left-elbow conversion in
transition by Strawn, and then … Shot of
the Night.
A hurried inbound and rush following
Strawn’s goal led to SV’s Manchester
dribbling smoothly into a launch from
perhaps a stride past the midcourt stripe
that fell as the buzzer sounded to draw
SV within 32-27.
But then came a quick 7-2 Seton CC
burst to open the third.
First came Strawn drilling one from
Olivia Voorhees’ 584 series featured a

the wing courtesy of Levy’s one-handed,
cross-court bounce of a set-up. Next a
corner three from McCann, set in motion
when Hauer stole a baseline inbound
pass and outletted. When Hauer convert-
ed Levy’s feed to the block with 3:34 to
play in the third, Seton CC led by 39-29.
It was a stretch of basketball in which
the Sabers played something other than
tidily.
“Third quarter seems to be our Achil-
les heel, for the last two years, careless,
sloppy, too many turnovers, miss a few
layups_ just not good basketball,” said
SV coach Chad Freije.
After Susquehanna Valley made its fi-
nal surge in the fourth, the Saints con-
verted 10 of 12 free throws.
The rebounding piece of the equation
did not escape Freije’s powers of obser-
vation.
“We did a good job the first time keep-
ing them off the glass, this time we did
not,” SV’s coach said. “A team like that,
you’ve got to limit their second chances.
You let them, they’re going to get put-
backs and kick-outs for threes.”
Nor was Strawn’s considerable influ-
ence on this victory lost on Jayne.
“Last game against them, Hanna did
not play her game, she played backward
instead of forward last time,” Jayne said.
“I had a conversation with her, told her,
they can’t stop you. If you want to play
defense on somebody and lock them
down, you can. If you want to shoot a
three, you can. If you want to get to the
rim, you can. You did none of that last
time.
“This time she attacked, she got ev-
erything she wanted for herself and for
others. It was a difference maker.”
Ahead for these two could be a tie-
breaker to decide STAC Central Division
supremacy, and come March, perhaps a
win-or-pack-it-in contest to see which
represents Section 4 in Class B state
playoffs.
Yeah, stay tuned.

HOROSCOPE
Aries (March 21-April 19). Start with
the most crucial thing. You’ll get to
the end of these 1,440 minutes in a
day and be disappointed, having
missed the whole point.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). You
construct an expectation, and when
the expectation proves to be way
off, there’s nothing left to do but
laugh — at least, that’s your re-
sponse.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). What was
derailed is now popped back on
track. Force usually isn’t the way. It
tends to be more of a wiggle and
snap that puts the pieces back in
line.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Given the
multitude of ideas you generate, of
course there’s not enough time to
act on all of them. But this day will
be an enormously productive one.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s definitely
a work in progress, but every day, in
hundreds of different ways, you’re
acting out the person you want to
be. It’s not perfect.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have
seen the truth without really notic-
ing it. And the truth, not wanting to
intrude on you, let you go on,
knowing you’d be liberated by it in

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The one
you are so fascinated with repre-
sents a whole new world to you.
You’ll breathe the air in that world

as you interact with this person and
get a sense of what a more exten-
sive visit might be like.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No person
who carries his worries with him is
really on break. The only vacation
from worry is to resolve it one way
or another.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The
reason you are able to touch the
hearts of others is because you are
very much in touch with your own
heart and know what makes it puff
up with joy and swell with empathy.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve
gotten used to some pretty unusual DILBERT / Scott Adams
situations because the oddities
evolved so gradually that you
couldn’t even see them as anything
other than ordinary life.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you
want time to go by fast, fall into the
routine. If you want it to go by
slowly, novelty is the ticket.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You
know what you want it to look like,
and from there you’ll extrapolate all
that needs to happen. The Luckily,
your organizational skills will be
amplified all day.
Today’s birthday (Jan. 19). You
alight upon social secrets, charismat-
ic habits and ultimately ways of BLONDIE / Dean Young & John Marshall
bringing out the cleverness in
others; they celebrate you time and
again for it. Your lucky numbers are:
47, 10, 33, 15 and 6.

HOF
Continued from Page 1C
“Anxiety was very, very high,” Bagwell said. “I
wrote it on a ball tonight. It was kind of cool.”
In his 10th and final year of eligibility, Raines was on
380 ballots (86 percent). He started at 24.3 percent in
2008 and jumped from 55 percent in 2015 to 69.8 percent
last year.
“Last night probably the worst night I’ve had out of
the 10 years,” he said. “I knew I was close, but I wasn’t
sure.”
Rodriguez , at 45 the youngest current Hall member,
received 336 votes (76 percent) to join Johnny Bench in
1989 as the only catchers elected on the first ballot.
“”I’ve been having trouble sleeping for three days,”
the popular Pudge said. “Johnny Bench was my favor-
ite player growing up.”
Hoffman was five votes shy and Guerrero 15 short.
“Falling short of this class is disappointing,” Hoff-
man said in a statement. “I am truly humbled to have
come so close. I hope to one day soon share a Hall of
Fame celebration with my family, friends, teammates
and all of San Diego.”
Edgar Martinez was next at 58.6 percent, followed
by Clemens at 54.1 percent, Bonds at 53.8 percent, Mike
Mussina at 51.8 percent, Curt Schilling at 45 percent,
Lee Smith at 34.2 percent and Manny Ramirez at 23.8
percent.
Players will be inducted July 30 during ceremonies
at Cooperstown along with former Commissioner Bud

Selig and retired Kansas City and Atlanta executive
John Schuerholz, both elected last month by a veterans
committee.
Bagwell was a four-time All-Star for Houston, finish-
ing with a .297 batting average, 401 homers and 1,401
RBIs. Among 220 Hall of Fame players, he is the 50th
who spent his entire career with one big league team.
Raines, fifth in career stolen bases, is just the fifth
player elected in his final year of eligibility after Red
Ruffing (1967), Joe Medwick (1968), Ralph Kiner (1975)
and Jim Rice (2009). Raines was a seven-time All-Star
and the 1986 NL batting champion.
Raines hit .294 with a .385 on-base percentage, play-
ing during a time when Rickey Henderson was the
sport’s dominant speedster. He spent 13 of 23 big league
seasons with the Montreal Expos, who left Canada to
become the Washington Nationals for the 2005 season,
and joins Andre Dawson and Gary Carter as the only
players to enter the Hall representing the Expos.
Rodriguez, a 14-time All-Star who hit .296 with 311
homers and 1,332 RBIs, was never disciplined for PEDs
but former Texas teammate Jose Canseco alleged in a
2005 book that he injected the catcher with steroids.
Asked whether he was on the list of players who alleg-
edly tested positive for steroids during baseball’s 2003
survey, Rodriguez said in 2009: “Only God knows.”
Rodriguez displaced Pedro Martinez as the youngest
of the record 74 living Hall members.
Bonds, a seven-time MVP who holds the season and
career home run records, received 36.2 percent in his
initial appearance, in 2013 and jumped from 44.3 per-
cent last year. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award
winner, rose from 45.2 percent last year.
Bonds was indicted on charges he lied to a grand jury

in 2003 when he denied using PEDs, but a jury failed to
reach a verdict on three counts he made false state-
ments and convicted him on one obstruction of justice
count, finding he gave an evasive answer. The convic-
tion was overturned appeal in 2015.
Clemens was acquitted on one count of obstruction
of Congress, three counts of making false statements to
Congress and two counts of perjury, all stemming from
his denials of drug use.
A 12-time All-Star on the ballot for the first time, Ra-
mirez was twice suspended for violating baseball’s
drug agreement. He helped the Boston Red Sox win
World Series titles in 2004 and ‘07, the first for the fran-
chise since 1918, and hit .312 with 555 home runs and
1,831 RBIs in 19 big league seasons.
“Barry Bonds was the best player I played against in
my entire life,” Bagwell said.
Several notable players will join them in the compe-
tition for votes in upcoming years: Chipper Jones and
Jim Thome in 2018, Mariano Rivera and Roy Halladay
in 2019, and Derek Jeter in 2020.
Twelve players have been elected by the BBWAA in
the past four years, the most over a span of that length
since the first four ballots from 1936-39.
Lee Smith, who had 478 saves, got 34 percent in his
final time on the ballot. Jorge Posada, Tim Wakefield
and Magglio Ordonez were among the players who got
under 5 percent and fell off future ballots.
Pete Rose, the career hits leader who has never ap-
peared on a ballot because of a lifetime ban that fol-
lowed an investigation of his gambling, received one
write-in vote.

Anthony trying to keep Knicks focused
Star remains stoic
after unlikely win
STEVE POPPER USA TODAY NETWORK
BOSTON - As usual, with chaos roil-
ing around the Knicks, when the cam-
eras turned on it was Carmelo Anthony
that was left to explain it away, trying to
infuse a sense of stability into a fran-
chise far more comfortable imploding.
So Anthony had to voice his dedica-
tion to the team in the morning and then
when the Knicks took the court against
the Celtics Wednesday night he found
himself surrounded by a starting lineup
that seemed plucked from the summer
league. But with everything around him
falling apart, Anthony insisted he was
just pulling his teammates together. The
result, for one night anyway, was an un-
likely 117-106 win.
This is life for Anthony in New York,
the place where he forced his way to and
where he finds himself having to renew
his vows with. But Anthony, after the lat-
est self-inflicted controversy for the
Knicks, didn’t want to go into the details,
but clearly sounded as if he was tiring of
the other actors in the drama. For the
second time in a just over a month Antho-
ny listened to Jackson, the Knicks’ presi-
dent, in a brief meeting Tuesday before
flying to Boston, and is growing more
weary of the constant pokes and digs di-
rected his way.
“The conversation wasn’t that long,”
Anthony said. “We didn’t break bread.
We didn’t have an hour conversation. It
was a short conversation.
“I’m done asking why. I’m done ask-
ing why. My focus is playing ball at this
point,” adding when asked if he was dis-
appointed, “It is what it is. My focus is
these guys. That’s all I care at this point
and making sure these guys are staying
strong, staying positive and keeping
their head on right and not letting every-
thing else be a distraction to them.”

slumping Knicks
past Celtics
KEN POWTAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON - Derrick Rose matched
his season high with 30 points, and the
slumping New York Knicks beat the
Boston Celtics 117-106 on Wednesday
night.
New York played without injured
starters Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim
Noah, but Mindaugas Kuzminskas and
Willy Hernangomez each scored 17
points to help make up for their ab-
sence. It was just the third win in 14
games for the Knicks.
Isaiah Thomas led Boston with 39
points, his 13th time this season with 30
or more points. Jae Crowder added 21
for the Celtics, who lost for only the
fourth time in 17 games.
Al Horford, Boston’s big free-agent
acquisition during the summer, had
five points on 2-of-14 shooting. He was 1
for 8 on 3-point attempts.
Boston closed to 97-96 on Jaylen
Brown’s two free throws with just un-
der eight minutes to play, but Justin
Holiday and Courtney Lee nailed 3-
pointers 29 seconds apart, pushing
New York’s lead back to seven. Rose
then capped an 8-0 spree by putting in
his own miss after Thomas missed a
jumper — his seventh straight shot that
was off.
Up next: Knicks: Host Washington
on Thursday night for their third game
in four days. The Wizards won the only
other matchup — 119-112 on Nov. 17.
Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony met with team president Phil Jackson on Tuesday regarding
Anthony’s future in New York.
Anthony always is the face of the
franchise and it was no different at the
morning shootaround. He was left to ad-
dress the latest round of the strange rela-
tionship between the Knicks star and the
man who signed him to the contract that
was supposed to secure his future with
the franchise, Jackson.
Asked if he and Jackson where on the
same page now, Anthony said, “We con-
verse when we converse. We talk when
we talk. Leave it at that.”
What you didn’t hear Wednesday
morning is Anthony mouthing the “I be-
lieve in Phil” talk that he spoke when he
signed on for five more years just
months after Jackson took over as team
president. Anthony put his faith in him-
self and in the players on the court with
him.
“I’m committed. I don’t have to prove
that to anybody,” Anthony said. “I don’t
think I have to prove that to anybody. I
don’t think I have to keep saying that. I

Islanders’ interim coach Weight
aims to right ship at mid-season
VIN A. CHERWOO ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST MEADOW - Doug Weight
knows it won’t be easy for the New York
Islanders to get back in the playoff
race, but the interim coach is preach-
ing a simple approach in taking it one
game at a time with half the season re-
maining.
Coming off their second straight
100-point season and the franchise’s
first playoff series win in 23 years, the
Islanders stumbled from the start of
this season. Despite some brief stretch-

first practice since the coaching

on the ice. It’s not like there’s just 20
games left and we have to win 19 of

The Islanders are just eight points

IndyCar drivers eager to keep momentum
MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS - Last fall, James
Hinchcliffe kept dance fans on their
toes.
Now he’s hoping those memorable
moves help the IndyCar Series take an
even bigger step — expanding its audi-
ence.
Less than two months after surpris-
ingly toe-tapping his way to a runner-up
finish on the hit show “Dancing With
The Stars,” the popular Canadian driv-
er returned to Indianapolis to explain
how his performances could drive rat-
ings.
“That was not something I was aspir-
ing to do,” Hinchcliffe said Wednesday
at the series’ annual media day. “For
me, it’s about trying to get fans to tune
into races. A lot of times, people don’t
tune in until they meet someone and
then they turn it on to watch that person
and then maybe they can become a
fan.”

don’t think I have to keep talking about
that. I know for a fact that people see
that.
“Right now my focus is on playing
basketball and staying with these guys
because a lot of these guys never dealt
with all of this stuff before. Especially
being in a market like New York, dealing
with articles. Everybody has a different
opinion on different situations. A lot of
these guys have never dealt with that. So
for me it’s all about being there more so
than ever right now during this time
right now.”
The article that spurred this latest
trouble was one penned by Jackson’s
long-time friend and former assistant
coach, Charley Rosen. Rosen has chron-
icled Jackson’s first two full seasons in
New York online, meeting regularly with
Jackson and then regurgitating his
thoughts after the season is over. In the
latest story, he didn’t quote Jackson, but
ripped Anthony, claiming that he had

change is made, that sends a pretty
strong message of how we haven’t
played up to our standard,” he said. “We
just got to find some more consistency
and build on some of the things Dougie is
preaching and go from there. Just one

outlived his usefulness in New York,
while praising Jackson’s work. Left out
where any of the stumbles and miscues
that Jackson has taken.
While Anthony has steadfastly held to
his intention to stay in New York, Jack-
son has sniped - little different than he
did in his stops collecting 11 champion-
ship rings as a coach - at Anthony with
pokes and prods through the media. It
seemed to culminate earlier this season
when Jackson, who rarely speaks public-
ly at all anymore, went on CBS Sports
and called Anthony a ball stopper, fault-
ing him for some of the failures of the
team’s offense.
Jackson, who has only traveled to Los
Angeles, where he maintains a home,
spoke to Anthony for a moment at prac-
tice there and Anthony’s only takeaway
was to ask Jackson why does his name al-
ways have to come up?
This time Anthony was asked if he
still placed his faith in Jackson and if he
had his say in the talks.
“I don’t think that’s where any of this
is at at this point,” he said. “My say is
what I can do, what I want to do, dealing
with the guys on my team. That’s com-
pletely what I care about at this partic-
ular time. Everything is irrelevant to me.
“I’m numb. It’s water off my back at
this point.”
Anthony may be numb to the constant
trouble that swirls around Madison
Square Garden. But he also is a business-
man as much as he is a basketball player.
When he got the deal from Jackson, se-
curing the no-trade clause, it was like a
young couple in love still signing the pre-
nuptial agreement.
“I think as players you always want to
protect yourself,” Anthony said. “I didn’t
think it would get to this point. I think as a
player if you can get that you have a right
to protect yourself and take care of your-
self when it comes to that. It’s very hard
to get, very difficult to get. I have it and
that’s that.”

his playing career with the Islanders be-
fore retiring in 2011 and joining the team
as an executive and coach. While he ex-
pects there will be some changes to the
Islanders’ system, he doesn’t think they
will be major.
“I’m certainly not going to reinvent
the wheel,” Weight said. “We’re going to
tweak some things in certain systems. …
We’re going to play the right way, we’re
going to win games … We’re going to
have a little more discipline in managing
the puck in certain areas, making some
decisions.”
The 45-year-old Weight said he isn’t
concerned about having the “interim”
tag, choosing to simply focus on the task
at hand.
“I’m going to give everything I have,
whether it’s five games or 40 games or if
it turns into 10 years,” he said.
Part of Weight’s task will be trying to
get more from players such as newcom-
er Andrew Ladd, who has just eight goals
and four assists in 41 games after signing
a seven-year, $38.5 million deal last July.
Ladd and fellow free-agent signee Jason
Chimera were part of the offseason ros-
ter overhaul that saw longtime stars
Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Matt
Martin sign elsewhere. The departed
trio combined for 52 goals and 83 assists
last season, while the two newcomers
have totaled 16 goals and 12 assists so far.
at the 100th Indianapolis 500 or being the
self-proclaimed Mayor of Hinchtown.
The extra publicity comes as IndyCar
appears to be making progress in gener-
ating a larger fan base.
According to Nielsen Media Re-
search, the series averaged 1.28 million
viewers for the 16 races in 2016. That’s a
12 percent increase over 2015 and its
highest average since 2011.
The same research also showed the 11
races televised on NBC Sports Network
and CNBC decreased by almost 30,000
people per race. And after selling out the
series’ biggest event, the 500, few expect
that to happen again in 2017 for the 101st
running of the iconic race.
So after a crucial season, many are
hoping Hinchcliffe’s appearance will
keep fans revved up.
“The good thing about last year is I do
feel we got new, young people watching
the Indy 500,” three-time 500 winner and
former DWTS champion Helio Castro-
neves said.

Mitchell, Timothy P.
Timothy P. Mitchell died
at home in Arlington,
Virginia on Jan. 14 after
a courageous battle with
brain cancer. He was 47.
Tim served 25 years in
the United States Senate
in a variety of staff roles.
Since January 2008, Tim
was the assistant secretary
for the Majority (and later the Minority) and chief
floor assistant to the Democratic Leader. He got his
Senate start as an intern and worked on the Senate
Banking Committee, the Whitewater committee and
for two leaders, Senators Harry Reid (NV) and Tom
Daschle (SD). An expert on the Senate rules, Tim
was known for his grace under pressure and good
humor as well as his collection of baseball ties.
Born in Boston, Tim grew up in Binghamton, New
York and vacationed on Cape Cod. A member of
the Virginia Bar, Tim obtained a law degree from
the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University.
Earlier, he received a degree in political science
from the State University of New York College at
Fredonia.
Tim shared a love of travel with his wife Alicia
visiting places like Paris and Italy but felt most at
home on Cape Cod. Saturdays in the winter were
reserved for skiing with his best buddy, his son Ben;
in the summer, the two enjoyed skim boarding at
the beach. Most Sunday mornings would find Tim
on the baseball diamond shagging fly balls with his
softball team. An avid Red Sox fan, his only regret
in life was not playing second base for his beloved
team. His devotion for the Sox was only surpassed
by that for his family.
He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 23
years Alicia, and son Ben of Arlington, Va., father
Rev. Philip Mitchell of Orleans, Mass., sister Christi
Mitchell Twain (Drew Sell Twain) of Whitefield,
Maine, in-laws Eileen and Gene Nulty of Cary, N.C.,
sister-in-laws Ellen Nulty (Mark Mosley); Michelle
Nulty (Harry McShane); Kristine Kawalec (J.C.
Kawalec) and five nieces and nephews: Shannon,
Nolan, Finn and Caitlin Kawalec and Mary Ellen
Mosley. He is preceded in death by his mother
Barbara. He was deeply loved by family and his
many friends and Senate colleagues.
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on January 23rd
at Rock Spring Congregational Church, 5010 Little
Falls Road, Arlington, Virginia 22207. In lieu of
flowers, the family requests donation be made to

Got a cool talent? EPAC is looking for you
Auditions for contest Saturday
Are you a singer, a mu-
sician, a dancer or a come-
dian? How about a magi-
cian, a juggler, a ventrilo-
quist or an actor? Maybe
you have some other
strange but cool way to
entertain people.
On Saturday, you can
audition at the Endicott
Performing Arts Center for
the first-ever EPAC’s Got
Talent for the chance to win
prizes from local sponsors.
The competition replaces
EPAC Idol, a similar fund-
raiser that ran for seven
years based on the televi-
sion singing competition
“American Idol.” With
EPAC’s Got Talent, though,
the possibilities for those
who want to enter are prac-
tically endless.
“EPAC covers the gamut
of performing arts, so we
have a lot of drummers,
NY-0000792262
guitarists, musicians and
actors,” said EPAC business
manager Joe Foti, who is
organizing the event.
“If an actor wanted to do
a monologue, we wouldn’t
turn it away. That’s talent
and it would be entertain-
ing. I would like to see some
dance groups. There’s also a
lot of comedians and magi-
cians in the area - I’d love to
tap into that.”
Auditions
EPAC’s Got Talent audi-
tions will be held at EPAC
from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Acts should prepare an
audition piece of under two
minutes as well as two com-
plete acts for the semifinal
and final rounds should
they move forward in the
competition. (The audition
piece can be a shortened
version of one of the two
complete acts.)
A CD / device player will
be available for dance acts.
Vocal acts will audition a
cappella.
All acts must be family
friendly and suitable for a
general audience.
Acts are responsible for
supplying their own cos-
tumes and props. Props and
costumes cannot be stored
at EPAC. No props can
leave a mess on the stage,
such as water or paint. The
use of fire is prohibited, and
smoking is not allowed.
All minors coming to the
audition, semifinal and final
performances should be
accompanied by their par-
ent or their legal guardian.
If anyone under 18 wants to
attend the audition without
their parent or legal guard-
ian must have supervision

Peaches and Crime revives

‘Bandit’s Burlesque’ in Owego
Local vaudeville musical
act Peaches and Crime will
revive its theatrical produc-
tion “Bandit’s Burlesque”
on Saturday night at the
Ti-Ahwaga Performing Arts
Center in Owego.
The country-themed
old-timey burlesque show
spans decades of history for
this performance style.
“As with everything we
do, we wanted this to be a
creative development of
what it is we're reviving,”
said Daniel “Danny Black”
Schwartz, the group’s lyr-
icist. “We’ve done vaude-

ville shows before. Bur-
lesque shows, too. But we
wanted to give the audience
a fresh new take on this
classic art form.”
“It excites audiences,”
added Angela “Angie Dia-
mond” Schwartz, the act’s
lead singer and composer.
“They feel like they’re liv-
ing history. People have
usually associated the
‘crime’ in our name with
1920s and 1930s gangsters,
but the Wild West was just
as criminal.”
Along with the Schwartz-
es, Peaches and Crime in-
cludes Julia “Abbigail Pins”
Adams as vocalist and
trumpet player, Cat “Young
Catherine” McDonald as
vocalist and clarinetist,
Greg “Gregor Gregorevich-
"Baker on bass, Tony “the
Greek” Georges on guitar,
Mike “Mikey the Fist” Scla-
fani on keyboard, and AJ
“Fats” Rembert playing
drums.
But for this show they’re

ers Lily “Domino Trixx”
Clark, Jean “Shimmer La-
Rue” Graham, Fae “Ivy

Colin Hay delivers ‘Fierce Mercy’

at his upcoming Homer show
Colin Hay, the former
leader of Men at Work, will
perform a solo show at the
Center for the Arts in Hom-
er at 8 p.m. Friday.
Hay is familiar to mil-
lions as the songwriter and
vocalist on Men at Work
hits from the 1980s such as
“Down Under,” “Overkill”
and “Who Can it Be Now?”
But since moving to Los
Angeles in 1989, he’s made
more than a dozen critically
acclaimed solo albums,
including the highly suc-
cessful “Man at Work.”
Over the past 15 years
Hay has reinvented himself
as a solo artist, regularly
selling out theaters and
listening rooms across the
U.S. and around the world
and introducing himself to a
new generation of fans in
the process.

“It’s the point I started from
and may well be the point I
end with. It’s always what I
return to.”
The frequent use of
Hay’s music in television
and film — including hit
shows such as “Scrubs” (on
which he has made several
cameo appearances),
“Army Wives” and “Modern
Family,” the hit soundtrack
to the film “Garden State”
and the recently released
“Words and Pictures” — has
tive and insightful wit that
define Hay’s work. He has
created a new classic in his
impressive repertoire (this
is his 13th solo release),
using a palette of pop song-
craft, Americana flour-
ishes, and soundtrack-ready
strings. “Fierce Mercy” is
animated by its pensive,
honest, and impassioned
lyrics, and, Hay adds, by a
sense of urgency felt deeply
in the song “The Last to

Christine Lavin, Don White walk on the
‘Funny Side’ at their Oxford concert
Singer/songwriters
Christine Lavin and Don
White return to the region
Saturday for a performance
of music and comedy called
“The Funny Side of the
Street: A Night of Brighter
Laughter” at 6 On The
Square in Oxford.
Since emerging from the
New York City singer/song-
writer scene in the late
1980s (along with Suzanne
Vega, Shawn Colvin and
John Gorka), Lavin has
established herself as quick
on her feet, witty, insightful
and engaging.
Lavin has also been at
the forefront of finding and
promoting new talent, re-
leasing more than 10 compi-
lations CDs as well as more
than 20 of her own.
Her co-conspirator, Don
White, is the latest artist
that Lavin has championed.
“He’s such an original. I
call him sometimes a ‘blue-
collar intellectual,’” Lavin
says. “Don has extremely
high standards when it
comes to what he does on-
stage, and he hits a grand
slam every time. The first
time we worked together he
opened for me and it’s the
only time in my entire ca-
reer that I opened with a
ballad because he was so
funny, the audience was so
laughed out.”
A product of the Boston
arts scene of the 1990s,
White developed his song-
writer/performer chops in
the same Club Passim/Olde
Vienna Kaffehaus scene
that produced Dar Williams,
Martin Sexton, Lori McKen-
na and Vance Gilbert. He
was also a regular come-
dian at the Catch a Rising
Star in Harvard Square in
Cambridge, Mass., honing
his comedic skills alongside
Jimmy Tingle, David Cross,
Wendy Leibman and other
cutting-edge comics.
“It doesn’t sound like a
folk concert, it sounds like a
comedy concert,” White
says of his co-bills with
Lavin. “We rehearse and we

Flamenco Vivo celebrates the spirit of Spain
When she co-founded her
flamenco troupe almost 35
years ago, Carlota Santana
heard plenty of misconcep-
tions. People would call it
“flamingo” dancing or con-
fuse it with Latin cha-chas
and other ballroom dances.
These days, as the na-
tion’s Hispanic population
grows and more folks en-
counter flamenco on the
Internet or elsewhere, San-
tana finds more audiences
not only familiar with her
style of ethnic dance but
also embracing it.
Santana’s dance compa-
ny — Flamenco Vivo Carlo-
ta Santana — will bring its
high-energy show to The
Clemens Center in Elmira
next Thursday (Jan. 26).
“We started this compa-
ny with the idea of using
flamenco to break down
cultural barriers — so let-
ting people know about
other cultures and how they
think and how they feel,
that helps with intercultural
understanding,” she said.
go!

Flamenco draws its influ-

ences from the Andalusia
region of Spain, where
Spaniards lived side by side
in a medieval melting pot
with people of Jewish, Ara-
bic, gypsy and Sephardic
origins.
The tradition is built
from three distinct art
forms: the toque (flamenco
guitar), the cante (singing)

Next week’s perfor-

through the traditions of the
Andalusian provinces, the

differences exist between
the regions, cities and
neighborhoods.

London, talks ‘Star Wars’
HILARY FOX
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - Woody Har-
relson is trying to do some-
thing that’s never been done
before, although he’s start-
ing to realize why his feat
would be a first.
The American actor
plans to spend the early
hours of Friday shooting a
full-length film, called “Lost
In London LIVE,” which
will be broadcast as it hap-
pens in over 550 U.S. thea-
ters.
“Someone was asking me
earlier, ‘Do you think that
people will start doing this
now? Filming a movie and
live-streaming it at the
same time?’ And I said,
‘Well, not if they speak to
me first.’ This is some har-
rowing stuff,” he laughs.
Based on a relentlessly
awful night out he really
had in the British capital,
Harrelson wrote and is
directing the film that com-
bines comedy and drama.
Talking on the movie’s
set in the streets of Lon-
don’s theatre district, where
rehearsals are happening
during the day and at night,
Harrelson says he could do
with three more weeks of
preparation before the ac-
tion unfolds in real time.
Harrelson, 55, was ar-
rested in London after a
night out in 2002. He de-
clined to say whether “Lost
in London” is based on
events from that night, but
the set includes a recreation
of the club he visited before
his arrest.
“Lost In London LIVE” is
an attempt to merge his two
loves, film and theater. And
even though audiences will
be watching on the other
side of the pond when it’s
Thursday evening, Har-
relson is convinced the
event’s live-streamed na-
ture will add an electrifying
element.

“All voices are instru-

most are not,” Marsalis said
in a phone interview from
his home in North Carolina.
“Kurt has the ability to
create color with his voice

A minimalist reworking
of Bobby Vinton’s “Blue

bum’s highlights.
The album also includes
a version of Sting’s “Practi-
cal Arrangement,” taken
from the former Police
frontman’s recent Broad-
way musical, “The Last
Ship.” Marsalis toured with
Sting in the 1980s and has
long been a fan. “He has a

As noted, the concert is a

“This year we tried to book
an artist that would appeal
to a clientele that is more
aware and more willing to
give to a not-for-profit like
the State Theatre. We’re
trying to appeal to a differ-

Marcus King Band returns to Ithaca with fiery tunes
JIM CATALANO
CORRESPONDENT
For the fourth time in
less than a year, the Marcus
King Band will visit Tomp-
kins County to perform at
the Haunt on Sunday night.
Fronted by its eponymous
20-year-old singer-guitarist,
the South Carolina-based
band draws on rock, soul,
funk, jazz and blues influ-
ences to create its fiery
sound.
That musical gumbo is
no accident, King noted in a
recent phone interview.
“I wanted to try to glean
influences from as many
different channels of music
as I could,” he said. “Not
