What we're working on for Jan. 2, 2013

Here's a look at what our reporters are working on for Wednesday:
* PICTURED RIGHT: Caressa Snyder of Bloomsburg holds her new daughter Kinley Snyder Tuesday morning at the Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital in Bloomsburg. Kinley was delivered by Dr. Lozo at 1:48 in the morning and weights in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 inches long. (Jimmy May/Press Enterprise)
* A homeless man tried to hole up in a vacant Berwick house as outside temperatures dropped, but police arrested him on charges of trespassing. Heading to jail will "probably keep you warm and at least give you three meals a day, man," said an officer at his arraignment.
* Police say over the course of a few hours, a Catawissa man assaulted a man, lost a bar fight, and then returned to his debtor's home covered in blood in a second attempt to get his money. The man tells a very different story. "I never touched him," he says of his alleged assault victim.
* Bloomsburg University could cut down on air pollution and save money if it switched heating fuels from coal to a combination of wood and natural gas. The only problem? A decades-old requirement set by the state legislature that requires state agencies to use coal, unless they clear a number of paperwork hurdles.
Look for that and the latest fiscal cliff news in Wednesday's Press Enterprise.
