Shooting suspect’s Facebook stirs raid

Military veteran William Allabaugh was treated for PTSD, papers show.

ORIOLES 9 RAYS 2

SATURDAY’S GAME was disheartening for Sam Ficken and Penn State. What came afterward was what really bothered the Nittany Lions. Students, fans and random strangers took to social media and deluged Ficken with criticism and insults after the kicker missed four field goals – including the potential game-winner on the final play – and had an extra point blocked in a 17-16 loss to Virginia. Speaking Tuesday at his weekly press conference, Penn State coach Bill O’Brien defended Ficken. “Well, obviously I think it’s absolutely ridiculous,” O’Brien said. “Not just because it’s a 19-yearold college kid. But at the end of the day, you know, these guys are really playing hard, giving great effort for us.” SPORTS, 1B

Wyoming Valley marks 11th anniversary By BILL O’BOYLE

State police at Wyoming seized ammunition and computers from the Plymouth apartment of William Allabaugh after discovering pictures on his Facebook page illustrating him holding four shotguns, assault rifles and wearing a gas mask. One picture shows a hollow tree stump concealing a military ammunition box, which state police also referenced in a search warrant affidavit. Allabaugh Allabaugh, 25, is suspected of shooting two men at Bonnie’s Bar on East Main Street in Plymouth early Sunday morning, killing Scott Luzetsky, 39, of Edwardsville, and critically injuring Stephen Hollman, 29, of Plymouth. In another development Tuesday, medical papers indicate the U.S. Air Force veteran had been treated for post traumatic stress disorder in 2010. PTSD is a psychoSee SHOOTING, Page 12A

ILKES-BARRE – Lisa Serrano wanted to be a part of a 9/11 remembrance ceremony somewhere. Serrano, 37, of Forty Fort, was unable to be with her family in New York City, where her father, William Valcarcel, died 11 years ago while working in the World Trade Center. Valcarcel, 55, was one of nearly 3,000 victims of the terrorist attacks that day. He worked for the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. “Everybody died a hero that day,” Serrano said while attending a ceremony at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Plains Township on Tuesday. “And heroes should always be remembered.” The ceremony was one of several held in the Wyoming Valley to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the attacks and to remember the lives lost that day. A wreath was placed at a Callery pear tree on the VAMC campus. The tree mirrors a severely damaged Callery pear tree that was recovered from the rubble at the World Trade Center site in October 2001. It was replanted and nursed back to health and still stands at the site. Serrano’s husband, Alex, said he and his wife remained near home Tuesday because their three children

are in school. “We’re here because you should never forget what happened,” he said. “The day you forget is when it could happen all over again.” Lisa Serrano said her father was the only 9/11 victim she knew, but all of the victims will remain in her heart forever. “Ceremonies like this need to be held every year,” she said. “Not to just shed light on the tragedy of that day, but to always remember all who lost their lives.” James J. Farsetta, former director at the Manhattan veterans center, was the featured speaker. He wasn’t in New York City on 9/11, but he said the memories of that day will never go away.

Ritual fades, but grief goes on By JENNIFER PELTZ and MEGHAN BARR Associated Press

NEW YORK — There were still the tearful messages to loved ones, clutches of photos and flowers, and moments of silence. But 11 years after Sept. 11, Americans appeared to enter a new, scaled-back chapter of collective mourning for the worst terror attack in U.S history. Crowds gathered, as always, at the World Trade Center site in New York, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania memorial Tuesday to mourn the nearly 3,000 victims of the 2001 terror attacks, reciting their names and remembering with music, tolling bells and prayer. But they came in fewer numbers, ceremonies were less elaborate and some cities

President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney pulled negative campaign ads and avoided rallies, with the president laying a wreath at the Pentagon ceremony and visiting wounded soldiers at a Maryland hospital. And beyond the victims of the 2001 attacks, attention was paid to the wars that followed in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Middletown, N.J., a bedroom community that lost 37

PLYMOUTH – Drawing applause from a standing-room-only crowd packed into their chambers, borough council on Tuesday unanimously approved a rental unit inspection ordinance and hired another part-time police officer. The votes came after council heard residents express concerns about crime and public safety and after the police chief was publicly questioned by the brother of a man who was fatally shot outside a borough bar two days prior. Council President Frank Coughlin opened the work session that preceded the council meeting by acknowledging “another tragedy in town” on Sunday, referring to the shootings at Bonnie’s Food and Spirits on East Main Street. He assured the residents officials are working “feverishly” to find ways of addressing crime problems in the borough, but reminded them “things don’t happen overnight.” Coughlin then addressed the renter’s See COUNCIL, Page 12A

OSHA proposes P&G pay $11,900 in fines Agency inspectors uncovered safety violations at plant after death of worker.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

MEHOOPANY – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed $11,900 in fines against the Procter & Gamble plant in connection with safety violations uncovered after the death of a worker in March. OSHA on Friday issued eight citations against the firm, including five that were deemed “serious,” based on inspections conducted after the March 24 industrial accident that killed Jason Slavish of Wilkes-Barre. The citations indicate Slavish, 36, of Charles Street, was killed while servicing a paper machine. Four of the five serious citations relate to inadequate procedures that were in place to ensure “potentially hazardous energy” was not released to the paper machine.

The inspectors determined employees failed to affix a lockout device, which would disable a machine from starting up unexpectedly, prior to beginning work on the machine. Inspectors also said procedures were not developed to control the release of energy to the machine, and that a circuit breaker control needed to control the release of energy was not operated in a manner to isolate the equipment from the energy source. The company was issued a fifth serious violation for failing to have machine guards on “scrap pad upenders” to protect employees. That violation, which was noted on April 25, was not directly related to the Slavish industrial accident. The citations note Procter & Gamble immediately addressed and corrected the issues identified. The report proposes fines of $8,500 for the paper machine citations, and $3,400 for the scrap pad upender citation. Alex Fried, spokesman for Procter & Gamble, said the company

has acknowledged errors were made. “The fatality in March was a tragic event. Our investigation concluded the fatality was caused by human error,” Fried said. “OSHA concluded additional procedures may have helped prevent the error. It’s common for OSHA to levy penalties when it determines improvement is warranted.” Under OSHA regulations, a company has the right to seek an informal conference to discuss the citations. Fried said Procter & Gamble has requested that conference. “There are no attorneys and no attempt to litigate. It’s to ask questions and work through some items,” Fried said. Fried said the plant has had a strong safety record over its 46year history and remains committed to taking steps necessary to prevent accidents. “We agree this one fatality is one too many,” Fried said. “Our focus is on the prevention of a similar incident at the facility.”

County mulls outside tax firm

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – Luzerne County Councilman Jim Bobeck said the county should publicly seek cost proposals from outside companies interested in handling its tax collection to help identify the most affordable option. Under home rule, council has the power to stop using 69 elected tax collectors or reduce their pay. Elected tax collectors are paid $3.50 per bill. County Treasurer’s Office Manager/Tax Administrator Laura Beers has estimated the county could save several hundred thousand dollars annually by allowing her office to handle the service. Bobeck said during Tuesday’s on-the-road council meeting in Hazleton the outside proposals would set a cost benchmark. If the elected tax collectors and treasurer’s office options are significantly higher, both could be expected to reduce their costs if they want to remain under consideration, he said. “That way, we will have three choices at hand and have real data,” Bobeck said, adding that council doesn’t have much time to make a decision. Alterations in the duties and compensation of elected tax collectors must be made before February because the posts will be on the 2013 ballot. Bobeck said

County council will hold its next public meeting Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the county’s Emergency Management Agency Building, Water Street, Wilkes-Barre.

he will call for a vote on outside proposals at council’s Sept. 25 meeting. Councilman Rick Morelli said he wants council members to spend more time discussing tax collection options and expressed frustration that council members wouldn’t vote to schedule another meeting on the topic. Morelli also asked county Manager Robert Lawton for an update on the search for new outside legal counsel to handle litigation over the county’s stake in the Triple-A baseball franchise jointly purchased with Lackawanna County. A judge disqualified the county’s Pittsburgh-based law firm because it previously represented Lackawanna County as a bond counsel. Luzerne County has a pending lawsuit arguing Lackawanna County is legally required to give Luzerne half of the $14.6 million received from selling the franchise. Lackawanna filed a countersuit arguing Luzerne County isn’t entitled to any proceeds and owes Lackawanna millions of dollars for past stadium repairs. Lawton said the county has re-

ceived several applications from law firms in response to its advertisements, and he will present a recommendation to council. Councilman Rick Williams pressed Lawton Tuesday for an update on the Sterling Hotel. One development proposal was submitted to Wilkes-Barre and the building’s nonprofit owner, CityVest. The city and CityVest have asked the county to help fund demolition of the 114-yearold former landmark hotel because the developer wants a clean site. CityVest is out of funds and spent most of a $6 million county loan to expand the parcel, tear down an attached high-rise and remove hazardous material from the original hotel at the corner of River and Market streets. The city is contributing $270,000 toward demolition. Council had agreed to Lawton’s recommendation to cancel up to $1.5 million in funding for demolition, but the county contribution would be less now because fresh bids peg demolition as low as $486,000. Lawton nodded his head when Williams asked if meetings with the unidentified lone developer are “encouraging,” but he declined to elaborate. Lawton said he will make a demolition funding request to council if he believes the development project is credible and will create jobs.

Police arrest juvenile in W-B shooting By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A juvenile was arrested Tuesday in connection with a shooting on WilkesBarre’s Hutson Street on Monday night. In a news release, Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie J. Salavantis said the name and age of the juvenile are not being released because of state law. Court records are prohibited from being disclosed to the public unless the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent, Salavantis stated in the news release. However, the law permits the next hearing related to the incident to be open to the public and the media, Salavantis said. That hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Luzerne County Courthouse. Salavantis said the victim, whose name was not released, is 20 years old and is in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. No one was home when a reporter on Tuesday stopped by 86 Hutson St. – the address to which

police were dispatched at 7:30 p.m. Monday. Neighbors declined comment. Salavantis said that detectives from her office and Wilkes-Barre police took the suspect into custody within 10 hours of that dispatch. Salavantis thanked WilkesBarre Mayor Tom Leighton and state police Troop P in Wyoming “for providing all the resources required to apprehend the alleged shooter in such a quick and efficient manner.” In a written statement, Leighton said the call he dreads most is one from Chief of Police Gerry Dessoye informing him that a child in the city was critically injured or killed by a bullet. “That call has come twice this past year. I urge residents of the city and the media to refrain from unofficial speculation about last night’s incident. Given the ages of those involved we cannot release more info than we already have by law. I hope that people can understand and respect that,” Leighton said. However, Leighton said he could assure city residents that they are safe in their homes and

on their streets, and that there is no risk to the general public from the Monday night shooting. “As a community, we need to do more to educate our children in our schools and in our homes about the dangers and risks of guns. This is not a game. Even legally owned weapons can injure and kill and our children need to respect the inherent dangers involved and stay away from weapons,” he said. Parents and guardians must keep dangerous weapons away from their children, Leighton said, adding that children also need to exercise responsibility “and understand that guns or any dangerous weapons will lead to permanent consequences that cannot be reset like popular video games that dominate our culture.” “Every community faces public safety challenges. But from the first day I took office, our police department has had every resource to combat crime on our streets, and my resolve has not wavered to win this fight for our neighborhoods, our homes and our children,” he said.

Worker dies in accident Times Leader staff

PITTSTON – A 38-year-old Duryeamanwaskilledinanindustrial accident at the Maui Cup plant on Monday after a piece of machinery fell on him, Acting Luzerne County Coroner Bill Lisman said. The death of Shailesh Patel marks the third time this year, and second this month, that a person has been killed in a work-related accident in the county. On Sept. 2, Charles Kratz of Plymouth died after an accident involving a forklift at Core-Mark in Hanover Township. In March, Jason Slavish of Wilkes-Barre was killed while servicing a piece of machinery at the Procter & Gamble plant in Mehoopany. In the latest case, authorities were called to the Maui Cup plant in the Grimes Industrial Park, a division of Letica

Corp., around 2 p.m. An autopsy performed Tuesday by forensic pathologist Dr. Mary Pascucci determined Patel died of multiple traumatic injuries. The death was ruled accidental. Lisman said a piece of machinery fell on Patel, but declined to provide further details. Scott Daulton, a spokesman for Letica Corp., said the company was declining to comment “out of respect for the family.” The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has opened an investigation into the death, said Mark Stelmack, spokesman for OSHA’s regionalofficeinWilkes-Barre. Stelmack said he had not spoken to the field investigators yet and could not provide further information regarding the accident.

Duryea studies renter registration law By AMANDA MYRKALO Times Leader Correspondent

DURYEA – In order to deal with absentee landlords and gain an accurate account of who is living in Duryea for tax records, borough council introduced a motion at Tuesday’s meeting to establish a registration program for residential rental properties. Out-of-town landlords will be required to appoint an agent and the program will prescribe duties for owners and occupants. Annually, owners will be required to register apartments and tenants for a fee. The borough will then know who owns any problem properties, who lives there and would be able to

act with that information. Mayor Keith Moss said it is a start by the council in the process to prevent nuisance properties. So far the ordinance has only been introduced. Council will not vote on its adoption until next council meeting. During that time, the ordinance can still be “tweaked” if anyone offers a concern. In other business: · Council adopted an ordinance to increase fines and penalties for parking violations in the borough, such as an increase from a $15 to a $30 fine for parking near a fire hydrant and from a $25 to a $50 fine for parking in a fire lane.

Impressions Media part of newly formed company PHILADELPHIA – Versa Capital Management LLC, a private equity investment firm, today announced the creation of Civitas Media LLC, a new community news media company. Civitas, Latin for “community” or “citizen,” combines four media entities owned by Versa: Freedom Central, Heartland Publications, Impressions Media and Ohio Community Media. The Wilkes-Barre-based Impressions Media includes The Times Leader, Sunday Dispatch, Dallas Post, Abington Journal, Go Lackawanna, The Weekender and Local Mantra, a digital product marketing and services company. “We have assembled an excellent group of community news publishers over the past 15 months and combining them together under the Civitas umbrella is a logical and value-enhancing result,” stated Versa’s CEO Gregory L. Segall. “Community-based media has remained profitable and largely avoided the level of financial pres-

sure experienced by large daily metros in recent years. They are the principal source of information and news content as well as the primary advertising vehicles for their communities, whether in print or online, and we see a more stable and resilient future for this sector.” Civitas, which now employs 1,650 people at 99 locations across 12 states in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South, serves its communities through its dedication to the delivery of local information, including news and advertising solutions, across a variety of platforms. These communities are served by 35 local daily newspapers, including 28 with weekend editions as well as 63 weekly products. These papers have a combined average weekly circulation of 1.6 million. Civitas also serves these communities with numerous free, advertisement supported publications and a growing online presence. In addition, Civitas publishes specialty products such as local communi-

ty directories, wine magazines, regional agricultural publications, realty publications, local entertainment guides and online magazines and SEO solutions. “This signals an exciting opportunity to extend our growth and success,” said Prashant Shitut, the president and CEO of Impressions Media. “The new company shares our values of providing community news and excellent customer service to our customers and clients.” The merged organization is led by CEO Michael Bush, formerly the CEO of group member Heartland Publications, and COO Scott Champion, formerly the CEO of group member Ohio Community Media. The capitalization and working capital requirements of the businesses are supported by a new $62.5 million multi-bank senior term loan and revolving credit facility led by RBS Citizens, N.A. Bush commented, “I am very excited to be working with Versa Capital, which has assembled a valuable collection of community media

A former employee at the Tobyhanna Army Depot was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison on drug charges. Jerrold Hahn, 62, of Moscow, was charged in December with one count each of distributing a controlled substance and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. According to a criminal complaint filed by the FBI, Hahn was questioned in November and admitted he had been selling marijuana for 10 to 15 years. His customers allegedly included a supervisor and a director at the depot, who are not named in the complaint. Hahn was immediately sentenced after entering a guilty plea to a charge of distributing cocaine and marijuana before U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy. In addition to the prison sentence, Conaboy ordered Hahn to pay a $1,000 fine. He was immediately taken into custody following the sentencing hearing.

Versa Capital announces the formation of Civitas Media LLC; combines four media entities for growth, best practice. Name shows community focus to continue.

assets and has a reputation for supporting its companies both financially and operationally. Civitas has a promising future as a media company, and is well positioned to further benefit from the eventual recovery of U.S. economic activity.” Bush further noted “There are many opportunities for serving the local communities as we realize synergies from our combined strength. At Heartland we successfully implemented similar programs, and I look forward to working with the entire Civitas organization to explore best-in-class practices that can be utilized across many platforms. We have many excellent editorial and advertising professionals with valuable, local community ties. Our emphasis will always be on the communities we serve.” Segall concluded, “While operational improvements are anticipated in the near-term, we plan to leave day-to-day control of editorial content in the hands of the people who know the local markets best.”

Janene Holter of the state Attorney General’s Office rattled off real-world examples of how impulsive Internet postings can change lives, and kept stressing one point to Coughlin High School students Tuesday. “Words mean something,” the senior supervisory special agent told the crowd of students. “It depends on the content, it depends on who reads them.” And in the age of texting and social media, the person who posts often can’t control who reads it and how they perceive it. Holter is presenting similar assemblies at all three Wilkes-Barre high schools and at Solomon/Plains Memorial Junior High throughout the week.

Holter uses visual aids during her program.

She said the presentations are a free service from the Attorney General’s Office, and urged other districts interested in hosting such assemblies to email her at jholter@attorneygeneral.gov. “How do you represent yourself on Facebook?” she asked the students. “If a total stranger looked at your page, what kind of image are you presenting.” Holter recounted the story of a high school graduate who had a college scholarship locked up, enjoyed a game of basketball with friends and some

strangers, and then decided to post insults aimed at one of those strangers on his Facebook page. College officials saw it, called him in, and told him the scholarship was canceled. “If you wouldn’t want it said about you or written about you, don’t say it or write it,” Holter said. “Facebook will follow you for the rest of your life.” Holter played videos of a girl who, at age 13, was mercilessly bullied online by others. Rather than tell adults, she and a friend tried to bully back, ultimately posting an online threat to bring a gun to school. “She thought it would scare them,” Holter said. A parent saw the post and told police, who came to school and arrested the girl for making terroristic threats. Holter played a video of a mother and close friend of a boy who was bullied so much online he hanged himself in his bedroom closet late one night. Five close friends knew of the bullying but never told an adult. “His mother said he needed a hero,” Holter said. “I say he needed a voice, someone to speak up for him.”

Unlicensed docs’ home searched in fraud claim By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – A team of detectives from Luzerne County and Kingston on Tuesday searched the residence of two unlicensed physicians who are suspected of defrauding a man seeking an expert opinion for a medical malpractice case out of roughly $20,000. First Assistant Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said detectives were contacted about a month ago by a man who claims David A. Ri-

gle and Deborah J. McMenamin promised to provide him with an expert report, but never produced the document despite repeated demands. According to Sanguedolce, the alleged victim, whom he did not identify, was seeking a medical expert to evaluate a malpractice claim the man was considering filing in connection with the death of his mother at a health care facility. Sanguedolce explained that, See FRAUD, Page 6A

WILKES-BARRE – Property owners who are delinquent in paying the 2012 levee protection fee will get a big break on collection costs through a contract approved Tuesday by the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority. By a 4-0 vote, the five-member authority awarded the contract to Northeast Revenue Services, rejecting two other lower-cost proposals, including one submitted by the Luzerne County Treasurer’s Office. Northeast’s price of $30,550 is $5,175 more than the second lowest proposal, from the treasurer’s office. The board opted for the firm based on expected efficiencies and consumer-friendly services it offers that the others could not provide. Jim Brozena, the authority’s executive director, said Northeast Revenue, which already handles delinquent property taxes for the county, has a computer system in place that would allow it to easily add delinquent levee fees. That will help ensure the fees are paid when a property is sold – an area that’s been a problem. Northeast also can accept levee fee payments online, as well as at several branches of Landmark Community Bank. None of the other proposals offered those services. The board was also swayed by the significantly lower collection costs that will be charged to ratepayers who don’t pay on time. Northeast will charge no more than $37 in total fees, compared to $55 proposed by the treasurer’s office and $110 proposed by two firms – Keystone Collections Group and e-Collect. Even though the collection fees are paid by the property owner, they concerned some authority board members, who believed fees charged by the prior collection agency, Centax-Don Wilkinson, and those proposed by the two private firms were too high. Board member Stephen A. Urban said he believes the fees, which included a $30 delinquency notice, $30 pre-lien notice and $50 for filing of a lien, were excessive given levee fees range from $46.85 to $93.70 for residential properties and $93.70 to $676.44 for commercial, industrial and tax-exempt. Northeast will charge just $2 for the delinquency notice. The pre-lien notice will cost $5, and the filing of a lien $30. Board member Adrian Merolli, who abstained from the vote approving Northeast, questioned whether the collection fees should be a consideration in deciding the contract. “We are protecting people who aren’t paying the fee who should be,” he said. “We’re not protecting people, we’re just providing them less cost,” Urban responded.

Wyoming awards project contract to Popple company By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

WYOMING – Borough officials Monday said the contract for the Sharpe Street Community Development project was awarded to Popple Construction in the amount of $88,013. Work on the project is scheduled to begin immediately. In other business: • Bids were opened for the Abraham’s Creek Project with Hadley Construction being low bidder at $107,200. Further action on awarding the contract was tabled as all bids were 20 percent higher than previously budgeted for the project. • The hourly wage for borough school crossing guards will be increased from $7.25 per hour to $8 per hour, effective immediately. • Council voted unanimously to authorize the borough engineer to begin the bid process for the proposed Butler Street Stormwater project. • Council agreed to accept the resignation of Tamara Smith as CAO of the borough’s police pension fund and appoint Marcela Starr to assume that duty.

FEES Continued from Page 3A

The treasurer’s office’s proposal also significantly reduced collection fees, charging $20 for the delinquency notice, $10 for the pre-lien notice and $25 for the filing of a lien. The board rejected the proposal, citing concerns over whether the office, which collects taxes for three municipalities, could handle the extra work load. Brozena said the treasurer’s office handles about 22,000 property bills. The levee fee would add another 14,000 bills, increasing its workload by 67 percent. The office said it would not hire additional personnel. “I’m concerned if the county treasurer’s office could pull this off,” said board member Doug Ayers. “Is it reasonable to expect it to handle a 67 percent increase in workload?” The board noted the Northeast contract is for one year. It will reconsider the treasurer’s office proposal and others when the contract is up for renewal.

Teacher strike continues

WASHINGTON — Looking to win voters even as they swore off negative attacks, the presidential candidates clashed over whether the country is a safer place on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. President Barack Obama pointed to gains in the war on terror under his time as commander in chief to make the case that Americans are better protected. “Al-Qaida’s leadership has been devastated and Osama bin Laden will never threaten us again. Our country is safer and our people are resilient,” the president said at a Pentagon memorial service. But Republican nominee Mitt Romney disagreed in a speech to the National Guard convention in Reno, Nev. While he won applause for thanking the Navy SEALs who killed bin Laden — without mentioning Obama — he

added: “I wish I could say the world is less dangerous now.” Obama and Romney pulled their negative ads and avoided appearing at campaign rallies, but the politicking didn’t stop. Obama did an interview with Miami radio DJ Laz on 106.7 FM without mentioning the somber anniversary. He discussed campaign issues and criticized Romney’s position on taxes and education funding. The president’s campaign also dispatched former President Bill Clinton to rally voters in Miami and first lady Michelle Obama encouraged supporters by email to commit to voting for her husband and recruiting others to do the same. The day offered Romney a chance before the National Guard to address criticism that he didn’t include a salute to the troops or reference the war in Afghanistan in his GOP convention

speech last week. “With less than two months to go before Election Day, I would normally speak to a gathering like this about the differences between my and my opponent’s plans for our military and for our national security,” Romney told thousands packed convention hall. “There is a time and a place for that, but this day is not it.” But Romney still delivered a political speech — criticizing defense cuts scheduled to take place early next year and suggesting an end to the war in Afghanistan lacks a clear mission, even though his strategy is similar to Obama’s. Obama’s goal is to end all U.S. combat there by the end of 2014, while Romney says he wants to hand over security responsibility to the Afghans at a pace that does not risk the country’s collapse and al-Qaida’s return, without specifics about troop numbers.

“We can all agree that our men and women in the field deserve a clear mission, that they deserve the resources and resolute leadership they need to complete that mission, and that they deserve a country that will provide for their needs when they come home,” Romney said. The president and first lady observed the anniversary with moments of silence on the White House South Lawn and at the Pentagon, the target of one of the four planes hijacked by al-Qaida operatives. Afterward, Obama shook hands with the Pentagon crowd, including a man in a Romney hat who got his autograph. The president then went to Arlington National Cemetery, where he visited the graves of recent war dead from Afghanistan and Iraq and placed presidential challenge coins in front of their headstones. He later planned to visit wounded soldiers and their families at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Court eyes redistricting Architects of Pennsylvania’s latest legislative redistricting plan face more than a dozen challengers, including Democrats in the state Senate, as they try to convince Pennsylvania’s highest court this week that the new maps comply with constitutional requirements. Republicans who control the panel in charge of redistricting said the plan addresses concerns that persuaded four of the seven justices on the state Supreme Court to reject the first plan in January, forcing this year’s elections to be based on maps drawn in 2001. Critics contend among other things that, while the new plan reduces the number of split counties, municipalities and other political subdivisions, it still contains twice as many splits as necessary.

Lawmakers in both parties agreed this week to come up with more money to help the Veterans Administration reduce a disability claims backlog. BOSTON

Alzheimer’s drug promising An experimental drug that failed to stop mental decline in Alzheimer’s patients also showed some potential benefit, fuller results of two major studies now show. Some patients on the drug had stable levels of brain plaque and less evidence of nerve damage compared to others who were given a dummy treatment, researchers reported Tuesday. The drug is called bapineuzumab (bap-ih-NOOZ-uh-mab), made by Pfizer Inc. and Johnson & Johnson. The new results suggest it might work if given earlier in the course of the disease, before so much damage and memory loss have occurred that it might not be possible to reverse, experts say. About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer’s is the most common type. In the U.S., about 5 million have Alzheimer’s. Current medicines such as Aricept and Namenda just temporarily ease symptoms. There is no known cure.

1 American dead in attacks By SARAH EL DEEB and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

CAIRO — A movie attacking Islam’s prophet Muhammad sparked assaults on U.S. diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday. A Libyan security official reported an American was shot to death as protesters burned the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and in Cairo, protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy walls and replaced an American flag with an Islamic banner. It was the first such assaults on U.S. diplomatic facilities in either country, at a time when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to overcome the turmoil following the ouster of their longtime leaders, Moammar Gadhafi and Hosni Mubarak in uprisings last year. The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. In the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, a large mob stormed the U.S. Consulate, with gunmen firing their weapons, said Wanis al-Sharef, an Interior Ministry official in Bengazi. A witness said attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the consulate they clashed with Libyans hired to guard the

facility. Outnumbered by the crowd, Libyan security forces did little to stop them, alSharef said. The crowd overwhelmed the facility and set fire to it, burning most of it and looting the contents, witnesses said. One American was shot to death and a second was wounded in the hand, al-Sharef said. He did not give further details, and there was no immediate U.S. confir-

mation of the death. Hours before the Benghazi attack, hundreds of mainly ultraconservative Islamist protesters in Egypt marched to the U.S. Embassy in downtown Cairo, gathering outside its walls and chanting against the movie and the U.S. Most of the embassy staff had left the compound earlier because of warnings of the upcoming demonstration. “Say it, don’t fear: Their ambassador must leave,” the crowd chanted. Dozens of protesters then scaled the embassy walls, and several went into the courtyard and took down the American flag from a pole. They brought it back to the crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but failing that tore it apart. The protesters on the wall then raised on the flagpole a black flag with a Muslim declaration of faith, “There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet.” The flag, similar to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly used by ultraconservatives around the region. The crowd grew throughout the evening with thousands standing outside the embassy. Dozens of riot police lined up but did not stop protesters as they continued to climb and stand on the wall though it appeared no more went into the compound.

Bullied bus monitor gets $700K raised by Canadian The Associated Press

TORONTO — A New York bus monitor who was relentlessly bullied by four middle school students has received more than $700,000 raised by a Canadian man. Sixty-eight-year-old Karen Klein received the check at a ceremony Tuesday in Toronto. A spokeswoman for the fundraising site Indiegogo said more than 30,000 people from 84 countries contributed to the fund. Their sympathies were stirred by a cellphone video of

the June taunting uploaded to YouTube by a student on the bus. The amount far Klein exceeded the expectations of Max Sidorov, who started the drive with the goal of raising $5,000 to send Klein on vacation. The video shows Klein trying to ignore a stream of profanity, insults and threats from the seventh-grade boys, who have been

suspended. The Greece, N.Y., grandmother has since retired. The taunting generated international outrage and an outpouring of support for the woman. After the incident, she told police she didn’t want the boys involved to face criminal charges. Klein told police she was happy with the swift and strong community response against the verbal attack aboard a Greece Central School District bus.

Criminally charging the boys, all seventh-graders, would have required their conduct to rise to the level of a crime, Greece Police Capt. Steve Chatterton said. The online crowd-funding site quickly raised more than $225,000 after video became viral. Klein said she hoped the boys’ parents would view the video of the attack and talk to their children about being "a little more respectful." In the video, Klein at one point is seen to break down in tears.

JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister, ratcheting up a public feud with the U.S. over Iran, made it clear Tuesday that he was dissatisfied with Washington’s refusal to spell out what would provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Washington wants to give diplomacy and bruising sanctions more time to try to pressure Tehran to abandon its suspect nuclear work. In a message aimed at Israel, it said several times this week that deadlines or “red lines” are counterproductive. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says peaceful methods are not working, and has warned repeatedly that Iran is getting perilously close to acquiring a nuclear bomb. His remarks have generated speculation Israel is readying to strike on its own to prevent that from happening. “The world tells Israel, ‘Wait. There’s still time,’ ” Netanyahu said Tuesday. “And I say: ‘Wait for what? Wait until when?’ Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don’t have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.” Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful. Although the United States has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapon capability under the cover of a peaceful program, the Obama administration has said it does not believe Iran has yet decided whether to build an atomic bomb — if it in fact develops the ability to do so. Israel has not publicly defined its own red lines, which might include a deadline for Iran to open its facilities to U.N. inspectors or a conclusion that Iran has begun enriching uranium, a key component in bombmaking, to weapons-grade level. Israel sees a nuclear Iran as a threat to its survival, and judging by Netanyahu’s rhetoric, he is not convinced the U.S. will stop Iran. Israel is worried that Iran will soon move key nuclear technology to heavily fortified underground bunkers that would be impervious to Israeli bombs. Should Israel decide to act on its own, it would have less time to strike than the U.S. would because its firepower is more limited. Some Israeli officials have suggested that an attack would have to be carried out by fall. Senior American officials, however, have made it clear they oppose any Israeli military action at this time.

Judge Fred Pierantoni denied the Post Conviction Relief Act petition of Jabbar Wallace, 37, sentenced in May 2009 to the prison term on a third-degree murder charge. Wallace asked in his petition that his conviction be vacated and that he be granted a new trial for a number of reasons, including that he had ineffective counsel and that he acted in self-defense in the shooting after he was attacked by the victim in the bathroom.

Local costs up 12 cents in week

DON CAREY / THE TIMES LEADER

Gas was selling for $4.09 per gallon of regular at the Shell station in Sugarloaf Township near Route 93 on Tuesday. Gas prices have jumped in the region by 12 cents since Labor Day and may still go up before they start coming down.

Gas prices defying history By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

At a time of year when gasoline prices have historically dropped, they instead have jumped 12 cents locally since Labor Day, pushing and in some cases exceeding $4 per gallon for regular. According to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service, it’s likely we’ll see the “highest prices of the year in the next few days. Don’t be surprised to see more increases and the highest prices we’ve seen since May 2011,” Kloza added. Some gas stations in Luzerne County posted prices for regular of $3.999 per gallon Tuesday, opting not to cross the $4 threshold. Others, like the Shell station along Route 93 near I-81 in Sugarloaf Township, were beyond the $4 level. The average price in the region was $3.90, two cents higher than the state average and six cents above the national average, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. AAA says the national average

· Switch to winter-blend gasoline – although less expensive, winter-blend gasoline usually creates a short-term hiccup in prices as refineries partially shut down to make the switch or to do maintenance work; the requirement for summer-blend gasoline expires Saturday, so prices are likely to drop in the second half of September. “AAA expects prices at the pump will begin to decline midway through September and continue for the last few months of the year as demand decreases and the switch to less expensive winter-blended gasoline begins,” said Jenny M. Robinson, manager of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

price rose 1.5 cents to $3.843 per gallon. That’s up 15 cents from a month ago. The last time the average price per gallon in the region was at or above $4 was July 22, 2008 when it was $4.01. AAA does not expect the average to reach that level in the coming days, though some individual stations could get there. According to a AAA analysis, the rare September jump in prices is caused by a series of factors: · Refineries – two major Midwest refineries are being upgraded to handle heavy Canadian crude oil (Marathon Petroleum Co. in Detroit and BP in Whiting, Ind.), which requires partial shutdowns over the next few months. · Hurricanes – oil companies in the Gulf of Mexico have been slow to restart after shutting down for Hurricane Isaac; the impact of these precautionary shutdowns is being felt at the pumps now.

WILKES-BARRE – After first denying he had been drinking alcohol before arriving to tow the vehicle of 55-year-old Denise Polinchak on March 7, 2011, Robert Wickham admitted he had had some drinks, a Plains Township fire captain testified Tuesday. Polinchak, of Wilkes-Barre, was having her vehicle towed from the area of the Social Security Administration building on East Mountain Road because of brake problems. Wickham was in the driver’s seat of Polinchak’s car with the door open when the vehicle accelerated. The open door struck Polinchak, according to prosecutors, knocking her to the pavement. Polinchak died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center later that day. Her death was ruled a homicide. Prosecutors allege Wickham drank three 24-ounce cans of beer before being dispatched by his employer, Herbert’s Towing, through AAA Mid-Atlantic to Polinchak’s vehicle. Russell Howell said he was speaking at the scene with Wickham, 56, of Dallas, and smelled alcohol on his breath. “I asked if he was drinking and he said no,” Howell testified in the first day of Wickham’s trial on two counts of driving under the influence and a charge of homicide by motor vehicle while DUI. “I said, ‘Just tell me the truth,’ ” That’s when, Howell said, Wickham admitted he had been drinking prior to responding to tow Polinchak’s vehicle. A jury of six men and six women was selected Monday to hear the case. Prosecutors will continue calling witnesses this morning.

Wickham’s attorney, Larry Kansky, said in his opening statement Tuesday there are four holes in the prosecutors’ case: • Polinchak’s 1999 Buick Century was a “nightmare to drive” in a number of ways, including defective brakes, a fast idle, “inadequate steering” and the wrong size tires, all of which contributed to the car accelerating and striking Polinchak. • Wickham’s blood-alcohol level of .114 percent was voluntarily given and Wickham was cooperative with police, but a blood analysis was performed only once. Kansky challenged jurors to decide if that was valid. An adult driver in Pennsylvania is considered intoxicated with a BAC of .08 percent. • Polinchak put herself in harm’s way. Kansky said Wickham told Polinchak to back away from her car at least two times. • State law calls for those charged with DUI to be “in control” of the vehicle they were driving at the time of the alleged incident. Kansky argued his client was not in control of the Buick because it was defective. Kansky acknowledged his client drank at least three beers, but is not responsible for Polinchak’s death. Jurors will hear Wickham’s version of events, Kansky said, noting his client has indicated he wants to testify in his own defense, which he is not required to do. Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Reimiller said in her opening statement that Wickham is responsible for Polinchak’s death and about 14 witnesses will be called to prove that to jurors.

Broad budget cutting ended support for debate team Wilkes-Barre Area receives complaints over end to the usual $20,000. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Two countervailing questions remained largely unanswered after Monday night’s marathon WilkesBarre Area School Board meeting consumed by discussion of the Meyers High School Speech and Debate Club funding: How and why did the school board cut a $20,000 annual contribution to the team this year, and how does the team spend the money? On the first question, board President Maryanne Toole said Tuesday the money was actually cut from last year’s budget as well, but was reinstated after attorney Kim Borland – who cofounded and coaches the team with his wife, Ruth – urged the board to reconsider. Toole said the same cut was on the table at the start of the budgeting process this year, along with a slew of other ideas, and got discussed intermittently as the board tried to close a budget gap that started at more than $5 mil-

lion. Toole could not pinpoint the date when the board agreed to cut the money out of the budget, but did note that there would not have been a public vote expressly on that cut. “There was no specific vote taken on any item that we didn’t fund,” Toole said. “It was just part and parcel of the budget.” Business Manager Leonard Przywara said there would be no obvious clue in the budget paperwork that the team’s funding had been cut because it was part of a single line item in the general fund – $1.4 million this year – that covers district spending on student activities from sports to clubs. That could explain why the Borlands did not learn of the cut until Monday afternoon, a fact Toole found disturbing. “Somebody dropped the ball,” she said. Second question To the second question, on Tuesday Ruth Borland offered a rundown of much of last year’s expenses, stressing that the district’s $20,000 is less than a third of the team’s budget; the rest comes from fundraising and private sources.

The team competes in three leagues, and membership fees were nearly $3,500. About $2,500 went toward supplies and research aids – online subscriptions to research services needed to compete at the state and national levels, Ruth Borland said. The team participated in about 11 regional tournaments that did not require overnight stays but do require two meals for up to 40 students – all students interested get to go along. Those can run up to $500 each. The team also competes in high-profile, multi-day tournaments. State championships cost about $3,500 last year. The Villiger tournament at St.

Joseph’s University in Philadelphia cost more than $7,000. Nationals cost about $8,000, while the annual competition at Harvard in Boston topped $11,600. “It’s almost $2,000 just to register there,” Ruth Borland said. The team also stages a local tournament that cost about $5,000 to put on last year, though typically it makes more than is spent thanks to registration fees and advertising in the printed program. While more than two dozen supporters urge the school board to reinstate the $20,000, no action was taken. Toole said a 2 p.m. special meeting has been scheduled for Friday.

There weren’t nearly enough seats in the conference room, so Meyers High School Speech and Debate team coach attorney Kim Borland stood outside the room through much of Monday night’s Wilkes-Barre Area School Board meeting, working his way in just far enough to urge the board to restore $20,000 for the team.

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN MONEY

Track donor bucks on state website

HE NONPROFIT Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania has established a website that lists the campaign contributions from labor unions to members of the state Senate and House. It’s an effective strategy for an organization that advocates for non-union and anti-union positions. But the website, paunionmoney.com, doesn’t come close to giving a complete picture of campaign contributions to Pennsylvania lawmakers. A website run by Pennsylvania’s Department of State provides far more information, although it is more complicated EDITORIAL BOARD

to navigate. The portal, at www.campaignfinanceonline.state.pa.us, covers state elective office holders and candidates. Its reports include names and contributions from all donors, those who gave as little as $100 to high-rollers who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is a far better resource for anyone who wants to know who is behind candidates for office. The research takes longer than glancing at the list compiled by the Citizens Alliance, but it is time well spent because it tells the whole story. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

s I see on television and read in the newspaper, the Republicans are calling for cuts in Social Security and other programs to cut the deficit. I have an idea for all congressmen and congresswomen. To lead by example, first cut your salaries by 10 percent and get rid of a lot of your perks. Also, get rid of the Bush-era tax cuts. They were instituted more than 10 years ago so the wealthy and corporations could use the money they would have paid in taxes to create jobs. It’s been more than 10 years now; where are all the jobs? An example: the Boeing Corp. reportedly received a $600 million tax refund last year, yet paid its CEO almost $20 million and earlier this year announced thousands of layoffs. Something is wrong here. Is this President Obama’s fault, too? Leonard Gorto Dallas

GOP chairman confident of ID law implementation

he unorthodox method of “testing” the ease of obtaining a photo ID card, as reported in Mark Guydish’s Aug. 14 article, in no way indicates the willingness and ability of our commonwealth to assist every voter in acquiring a valid photo ID. Nor is this legislation a “burden on the state,” as is asserted by Sharon Ward, executive director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center. The passage of this law is part of the commonwealth’s responsibility to ensure the integrity of the electoral process, and the state has both the willingness and ability to effectively implement this law, just as other states across the nation have. Despite erroneous and sensational media reports, the new voter ID law is not a means to disenfranchise voters. The ongoing reporting of how this legislation will keep people from the polls is both factually and morally wrong. Worse, the fear it has created among voters actually might keep them away from the polls because they are ill-informed as to how to comply with the law. Rather than pointing a finger at one Pennsylvania Department of Transportation center out of nearly 1,700 sites statewide, it would be more productive to focus on what the commonwealth is doing holistically to provide every voter the necessary means to obtain a photo identification card. Although publicly derided for its efforts, the Department of State has done admi-

rable work to educate citizens about this new legislation. Attending more than 100 neighborhood events statewide, offering free photo ID cards for voting purposes and making necessary adjustments to the system, when needed, so that voters can efficiently obtain identification – these are just a few of the ways the Department of State is serving as the solution, not the problem, for the people of Pennsylvania. With nearly two months until Election Day, and through the continued support of the state’s efforts to educate Pennsylvanians about this new legislation, I am confident that all voters will be well-prepared and able to cast their ballots Nov. 6. Rob Gleason Chairman Republican Party of Pennsylvania Harrisburg

No need for roundabout at Dallas intersection

t is said that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Who decided that the intersection in Dallas is broken? The intersection works. It is safe. If you ever have driven a roundabout, you know that all traffic from each intersecting road must enter the roundabout and travel in one direction until you reach the road you want; there are no left turns. For example, in the proposed roundabout you could not turn left from Church Street onto state Route 415; you would have to turn right into the roundabout, which vehicles from five other roads are entering, until you could finally head south on 415. Can you imagine what that will be like at peak traffic hours? Six main roads come into the roundabout, including business exits – that is, if any of the businesses survive after this year-long construction is completed. A roundabout is not safe. There are no traffic lights to guide you, and getting into the roundabout depends on the courtesy of other drivers. During construction, traffic will be diverted to other roads that were not built for the traffic increase, and while I am on the subject, why not use the money to repair our roads and bridges?

DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK

Pennsylvania seemingly has the worst bridges and roads in the country, and if you don’t believe me, just drive across Pennsylvania’s borders. Spending millions on a roundabout that is not necessary instead of on roads and bridges that are falling apart is outrageous. Vesta Fountain Dallas

Writer believes speeches show Obama as apologizer

n John Watson’s column “And the Oscar for hype goes to GOP convention” (Sept. 2), he stated “(Mitt) Romney criticized (President) Obama ‘for apologizing for America’ – which he hasn’t.” The following 10 apologies from President Obama in his first four months of office regarding foreign policy and national security issues clearly contradict Mr. Watson’s statement. 1. To the Muslim world, Jan. 27, 2009: “We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.” 2. To the G-20 Summit, April 2, 2009: “You’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.” 3. To France and Europe, April 3, 2009: “There have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” 4. To France, April 3, 2009: “When you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.” 5. To the Turkish parliament, April 6, 2009: “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history.” 6. To the Americas, April 16, 2009: “The United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors.” 7. To the Summit of the Americas, April 17, 2009: “We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.” 8. For CIA mistakes, April 20, 2009: “We have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.” 9. For the war on terror, May 21, 2009: “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight; that all too often our government trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions. In other words, we went off course.” 10. In Washington, D.C., May 21, 2009: “Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies.” Bill Ostrowski Exeter

ordinance, noting the borough has experienced problems for the past several years with code violations at nuisance rental properties, and the ordinance was designed to help eliminate those problems, making landlords and tenants more accountable. After other council members addressed issues of some problem properties and flood plain issues, they heard from Police Chief Myles Collins, who expressed his sorrow to the families affected by the Sunday shooting. Police allege borough resident William Allabaugh shot another patron at the bar – Stephen Hollman – in the head, critically injuring him, and went outside, where he allegedly fired more shots. Police allege that Allabaugh shot and killed Scott Luzetsky and that another bar patron, Mark Ktytor, then shot and critically injured Allabaugh. State police charged Allabaugh with criminal homicide and criminal attempt to commit homicide. He underwent sur-

At Tuesday’s meeting, Collins called the shootings “an isolated incident.” “We’re going to work to try to stop these kinds of things,” Collins said, “and hopefully, we can make Plymouth a safer place.” During public comment, Steve Luzetsky, Scott Luzetsky’s brother, asked council why Ktytor wasn’t charged in the incident.

pursue someone and shoot them if their life is no longer in danger. Collins walked to the front of council chambers near where Steve Luzetsky was standing and spoke with him calmly and quietly, suggesting that Luzetsky pose his questions to the investigating officer with state police and/or the Luzerne County District Attorney. After the meeting, Mayor Dorothy Petrosky agreed the shootings amounted to an isolated incident. Although Plymouth has the second-highest number of bars of any West Side community –19

THE TIMES LEADER

– and 313 borough residents for every active liquor license in the borough, Petrosky said she didn’t believe taverns in the borough presented any significant source of crime since the Bull Run Tavern was closed as a nuisance bar in 2009. Petrosky said council’s hire Tuesday of William Acuff as a part-time police officer at a rate of $12.40 per hour is expected to help increase the police presence on borough streets. Some residents expressed concern about council removing benches allegedly being damaged by youths at night because senior citizens used them during the day. Matthew Hornick said there is nothing for teenagers to do in town, and Adam Morehart suggested council and residents work to try to come up with a plan to turn the former PNC Bank building that the borough acquired into a youth center. Morehart, president of the Plymouth Citizens Action Committee, said positive change will only occur in town if citizens become involved. He invited any and all borough residents to attend the group’s meetings at 7 p.m. on every first Tuesday at the municipal building.

Shootings in Plymouth draw school’s concern By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Gunfire in Plymouth over the past two months that left four people dead and three others wounded has officials at Wyoming Valley West High School on edge. “It’s a concern to us the number of shootings and incidents going on in Plymouth. It’s scary the number of firearms that are out there,” said Charles Suppon, superintendent of the Wyoming Valley West School District, whose high school is in Plymouth. Suppon said he met with the Plymouth police chief and the school resource officer after a July 7 shooting inside an apartment building at First and Orchard streets where three people were killed and a fourth wounded. That shooting was about a mile from the high school. Security strategies and response plans were hashed out at the time,

though Suppon declined to be specific other than to say they included pro-active planning and implementing a response if the school had to be reactive. The latest incident, which occurred early Sunday morning at Bonnie’s Bar on Main Street and left one person dead and two wounded, took place about a halfmile from the high school. Suppon said even though no parents or staff members have approached him about the shootings, he’s sure there is apprehension in the school community. “I’m assuming there’s concern because of the increase in violence occurring in the area around the high school,” Suppon said. He said it should be noted that neither incident involved a district student or a district facility, but with students walking to and from school each day, there is a concern about safety in the vicinity of the school.

residents in the attacks, town officials laid a wreath at the entrance to the park in a small, silent ceremony. Last year, 3,700 people attended a remembrance with speeches, music and names read. “This year,” said Deputy Mayor Stephen Massell, “I think less is more.” Some worried that moving on would mean Sept. 11 will fade from memory. “It’s been 11 years already,” said Michael Reneo, whose sister-in-law, Daniela Notaro, was killed at the trade center. “And unfortunately for some, the reality of this day seems to be fading as the years go by. ... I hope we never lose focus on what really happened here.” Thousands had attended the ceremony in New York in previous years, including last year’s milestone 10th anniversary. In New York, a crowd of fewer than 200 swelled to

about 1,000 by late Tuesday morning, as family members laid roses and made paper rubbings of their loved ones’ names etched onto the Sept. 11 memorial. A few hundred attended ceremonies at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa., fewer than in years past. As bagpipes played at the year-old Sept. 11 memorial in New York, families holding balloons, flowers and photos of their loved ones bowed their heads in silence at 8:46 a.m., the moment that the first hijacked jetliner crashed into the trade center’s north tower. Bells tolled to mark the moments that planes crashed into the second tower, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, and the moments that each tower collapsed. President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama laid a white floral wreath at the Pentagon, above a concrete slab that said “Sept. 11, 2001 — 937 am.” Obama later recalled the horror of the attacks, declaring, “Our country is safer and our people are resilient.” Vice President Joe Biden remembered the 40 victims of the plane that crashed in a field south of Pittsburgh, saying he understood 11 years haven’t diminished memories.

“Today is just as monumental a day for all of you, for each of your families, as any Sept. 11 has ever been,” he said. Other ceremonies were held across the country — from New York’s Long Island, where hundreds wrote messages to their loved ones on a memorial, to Boston, where more than 200 people with ties to Massachusetts were remembered. Two of the hijacked airliners took off from Boston’s Logan Airport. But other cities changed the way they remembered. The New York City suburb of Glen Rock, N.J., where 11 victims lived, did not hold an organized memorial for the first time in a decade. Past commemorations often ran for several hours, with family laying roses in front of a granite memorial built with remnants of the twin towers’ steel. “It was appropriate for this year — not that the losses will ever be forgotten,” said Brad Jordan, chairman of a Glen Rock community group that helps victims’ families. “But we felt it was right to shift the balance a bit from the observance of loss to a commemoration of how the community came together to heal.”

“There’s a scab over the wound,” he said. “But the wound will always be there.” Farsetta told the crowd of just over 100 to respect all police, emergency and firefighting personnel. He said everyone should thank them for their work and public dedication. Howie Cooper, of Allentown, was at the VAMC for a doctor’s appointment and stopped to attend the ceremony. Cooper, who will be 46 next week, served with the U.S. Marines in Desert Storm and in Panama. “How can you not remember that day?” he said. “Everybody should attend a ceremony like this and listen and remember so the memories of the victims don’t die out.” West Side service Earlier Tuesday, the law enforcement class at the West Side Career and Technology Center

held a flag-raising ceremony to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks. The students marched out of the school under the direction of William Bevan, a former Marine and Pennsylvania state trooper, hoisted the flag to half mast and then bowed their heads in remembrance.

“These students have chosen law enforcement as their future career,” Bevan said. “They recognize the potential consequences of the job. They decided to take time today to remember those who lost their lives on 9/ 11, especially those who worked in the field they are about to em-

bark on.” David McTague, a 16-year-old junior from Swoyersville, said law enforcement has always interested him. “This ceremony should be held every year so we don’t forget those who died for our country,” he said. In 2002, the school’s law enforcement students presented a statue made of coal to the New York City Police Department, thanking members for their service, especially on 9/11. Lyndsey Fuches, 17, of Pringle, is a senior at the school who wants to work in animal enforcement. “We should always remember the many people who lost their lives so we can live free today,” she said. Nancy Tkach, administrative director at the school, said all classes were asked to plan something to remember 9/11. She said one class did readings of stories of 9/11 and a music class heard songs with lyrics that are symbolic of 9/11.

logical condition brought on by experiencing a traumatic event characterized by depression, fear Facebook photo taken in Wilof crowds, hyper-alertness, agita- liam Allabaugh’s backyard. tion, nightmares and flashbacks. It is unclear whether PTSD was a factor in Sunday’s shooting. A medical report from the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Plains Township stated Allabaugh was evaluated in July 2010 for post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. He voluntarily committed himself to the VA. Interest in guns While in the armed service, Allabaugh became interested in guns and weapons and was stationed in Alaska, where he performed search-and-recovery missions, two family members said during an interview outside a coffee house in Kingston on Tuesday. The family members, who asked for anonymity because they fear retribution from the victims, said Allabaugh became depressed while in the Air Force and was “released” from the service in May 2010 after he was accused of smoking synthetic marijuana with other servicemen. He had enlisted in the U.S. Air Force while he was in high school at Wyoming Valley West, where he graduated in 2006. Allabaugh was licensed to carry a gun. Allabaugh remained in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley where he underwent a third surgery on Tuesday, according to the two family members. Hollman also was listed in critical condition Tuesday at Geisinger Wyoming Valley. Gun possession permitted No law or regulation prohibited Allabaugh from owning a gun. State gun laws permit ownership if a person has been voluntarily committed to a mental health facility. Gun ownership is prohibited if a person is involuntarily committed, said Luzerne County Sheriff Jack Robshaw. Robshaw said Tuesday that when people apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon, they are given a “Reminder on Firearms Responsibility,” a piece of paper listing 12 recommendations about gun ownership. One of the recommendations says, “Do not carry your firearm when consuming alcoholic beverages or taking prescription medi-

cations that may affect your abilities and/or judgment.” Incidents before shooting Investigators allege Allabaugh was at Bonnie’s Bar with his brother, Jared Allabaugh, 26, and Kevin Farrell, arriving at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Soon after they arrived, a bar patron complained about Allabaugh making racial slurs. Allabaugh was told to stop or he would be thrown out, according to the criminal complaint. Family members said Allabaugh was not a drinker and was probably celebrating Farrell’s 26th birthday. Jared Allabaugh told investigators he was “escorted out of the bar” by the manager, Bob Wallace, at 9:30 p.m. when he was accused of not paying for beer he had consumed. Several hours later, patrons complained about Allabaugh carrying a gun. When confronted by Wallace, witnesses told investigators, Allabaugh pulled out a gun and fired a shot, the complaint says. Witnesses saw Hollman, who is black, fall to the floor and Allabaugh run outside where multiple gunshots were heard, according to the complaint. Luzetsky was found outside on the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Another patron, Mark Ktytor, 35, of Plymouth, told investigators he went outside and was confronted by Allabaugh aiming a gun at him. Ktytor said he drew his own weapon and fired at least four shots, striking Allabaugh in a parking lot, the complaint says. State police said Ktytor also had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. He is not expected to be charged.

And very cowardly, to be honest with you. “If people really knew these kids and understood the effort that they put forth, and how hard they play, and how hard they train and how much it means to them … I don’t know. I just don’t know what type of people do that.” O’Brien said the kicking job has been open ever since Anthony Fera transferred to Texas, and that Ficken continues to come out on top in practice. “It’s not like it’s just been that See FICKEN, Page 4B

Yanks tied at the top after a late Red Sox rally By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Jacoby Ellsbury singled in the winning run with his fourth hit of the game in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox beat New York 4-3 on Tuesday night, dropping the Yankees into a tie for first place in the AL East. Pedro Ciriaco, who started the rally with a single, slid in to beat the throw from right fielder Ichiro Suzuki to give Boston its

second win in 13 games. The loss left the Yankees and Orioles tied with 79-62 records. Baltimore beat Tampa Bay 9-2 on Tuesday night. The Rays are two back in the division. Andrew Bailey (1-0) got the win after allowing one hit in one RED SOX YANKEES inning.

standing performance on his 29th birthday with a sharp single to right. The Red Sox wasted a chance in the seventh when they loaded the bases with one out and couldn’t score. But they got outstanding work from their bullpen, which allowed just a hit and a walk with four strikeouts in 3 2-3 innings. Dustin Pedroia tied the game See TIED, Page 5B

It wasn’t until the plane ride when Joe Morrow realized what he had just accomplished. A couple months after being drafted in the first round of the 2011 NHL Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Morrow, who was 18 at the time, attended his first training camp with the big club. As a rookie with four seasons of junior hockey under his belt, the young defenseman was anxious to practice on NHL ice with some of the biggest Morrow stars in the game before heading back to juniors. But the exit didn’t occur that quickly. Morrow impressed the Penguins’ coaches with his skating ability, defense and overall poise on the ice to earn an extended stay at training camp, remaining with the big club until Oct. 3, just days before the season opener. “It may not have sunk in while I was there, but I thought a lot about it on the plane ride home,” Morrow said last week at Coal Street Ice Rink before meeting fans at PensFest. “Being able to play in exhibition games and pair with Kris Letang, it opened my eyes to what’s ahead of me.” Morrow spent all of last season in juniors with the Portland Winterhawks, and he parlayed his training camp success into a career year. In 62 games, Morrow posted 17 goals and 64 points. “It’s not every day that you see a point-per-game defenseman,” he said. “But with the minutes I got and the time on the power play, I had that opportunity.” As a 19-year-old, Morrow is old enough to play in the AHL and figures to spend at least part of the season with Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton. Despite nearly making Pittsburgh’s roster last year, Morrow won’t be disappointed if he begins the season in the AHL. It’s a great opportunity to continue developing while the NHL sorts out it’s contract impasse – a situation that may lead to a lockout. “I don’t know what’s going to See MORROW, Page 4B

Rodgers ran five times for 27 yards. Nobody else, including promising second-year back Alex Green, got a touch in the running game as the Packers (0-1) found themselves playing from behind.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — For the Green Bay Packers, the hope was that Cedric Benson quickly would add a new dimension to the offense and help revive a running game that often has seemed like an afterthought under See RUN, Page 3B

NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ association will resume negotiations on Wednesday in an effort to avoid a lockout this weekend. After not meeting face to face since last Friday, the sides planned to get together at the league office in New York before the NHLPA holds player meetings later Wednesday.

ed to have a good day.” After becoming a free agent at the end of last season, the Packers signed Benson early in camp. It’s safe to say the Packers won’t give Benson anything approaching 37 carries Thursday — expect Rodgers to test Brian Urlacher’s injured knee in the middle of the field — but when Benson does get the ball, he needs to do more. Benson said his timing with the offensive line is coming around. “I think we’re there now,” Benson said. “I think you’re going to see a lot of progression.” Bensonhardlytookalltheblame this week, as Packers offensive linemen acknowledged that they have to do a better job up front.

and players were both to blame for their failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement before the current deal expires on Saturday. Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he hoped both sides would meet before Saturday, but didn’t sound optimistic it would happen. “To this point, we have received no indication that the union has anything new to say to us. And right now, we have nothing new to say to them,” he wrote Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s the reality of the situation.” That changed Tuesday night. Whether the restart of talks will

lead to a quick resolution remains to be seen. The NHL’s labor contract expires at midnight Saturday night, and a lockout seems likely. It would be the league’s fourth work stoppage since 1992. “Ultimately, we just want to negotiate a fair deal that will give all our clubs an ability to be stable and healthy,” Daly wrote. “We hoped (and still hope) we can do that without causing any interruption to the upcoming season. Logic would have suggested we would have been able to. The fact that we haven’t yet is extremely disappointing, and is a failure for which we both must share blame.” Several hundred players are set to attend the NHLPA meetings Wednesday and Thursday to discuss the current state of CBA negotiations.

happen, but it’s nice to be here and get to see the rink and get to know the fans,” he said. And even when the NHL season gets underway, Morrow knows it won’t be easy to crack the big club’s roster, which is stockpiled with blueliners. After the Pittsburgh organization traded for, drafted or signed defensemen to bolster the system, Morrow took the added competition for roster spots in stride. “You have to understand that hockey is a business. Pittsburgh wanted to build a good defensive corps and everyone is going to have to fight for their position,” he said. “But one thing I learned from last year’s training camp – it’s important to make a good showing. That will be the case even more the second time around.”

Sam Ficken’s been our kicker no matter what,” O’Brien said. “We open it up every week, and he’s won the job every week. That’s what we’ve been doing from day one.” In other words, expect Ficken to be right back out there on Saturday against Navy. Penn State’s other options – Matt Marcincin, Kevin DiSanto or even receiver Evan Lewis, who opened last season as the starting kicker – haven’t distinguished themselves. Not that Ficken doesn’t have some work to do. O’Brien said the biggest thing for him was to be more consistent with the direction of his plant foot on field goals, which would help his accuracy. “Sam, obviously he’s gotta do better in his technique,” O’Brien said. “And he’s really working on it. I mean, he must have kicked 300 kicks (Monday) in practice.

McGloin did not throw in practice on Monday to rest his right arm, but O’Brien said he will be “ready to go this week. … He’s a tough kid. He looks all right to me.” Still making the switch Backup Paul Jones will continue to work a bit with the quarterbacks, but when he makes his college debut this weekend, O’Brien again said it would come at the Ftight end spot. “The ‘F’ position is not really a true tight end,” O’Brien said. “It’s somebody that can play out wide as a wide receiver. It’s somebody that can play in a wing position in the formation. It’s somebody that’s a ‘move guy,’ somebody that can line up in the backfield. And Paul came out (Monday) and played that position. “He’s also still a quarterback. So we’re asking him to do a lot of different things. He’s got a package of plays at quarterback, so if

we needed him, he can do that, too. We’re just trying to get our best players on the field, and he’s certainly a guy that we’ve got to play. And that’s on me to get him into the game.”

WILKES-BARRE -- Samantha Swire scored both goals, including the game-winner with 29:54 left in the contest as the Muhlenberg College field hockey team edged King’s College 2-1 Tuesday at McCarthy Stadium. With the win, Muhlenberg improved to 3-1 on the year while King’s slipped to 2-2.King’s missed out on a chance to take the lead with 12:46 remaining in the opening stanza when Abby McManus’ penalty corner was stopped by Muhlenberg keeper Kristen Dornenburg. The Mules eventually took a 1-0 lead at the half when Swire scored unassisted with 7:54 left on the clock. King’s tied the game 2:31 into the second half when Alyssa Monaghan scored off an assist by Abby McManus. Muhlenberg answered a few minutes later when Swire converted a feed to the front of the net off the stick of Kayleigh Theis to score what proved to be the game-winning goal. King’s out-shot Muhlenberg 12-10 and held a 17-8 lead in penalty corners. Megan Withrow made five saves in net for the Lady Monarchs while Dornenburg posted six stops, including the first-half penalty corner.

Hardy homered twice, doubled and drove in five runs, and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 9-2 Tuesday night to move into a tie for the AL East lead. Hardy went 4 for 5 to help Baltimore pull even atop the division with the New York Yankees, who lost 4-3 at Boston. The Rays are two games behind the co-leaders. Chris Davis homered and Matt Wieters had three hits and two RBIs for Baltimore. Hardy hit a two-run homer in the third inning, doubled and scored in the fifth, singled in a run in the sixth and added his 21st homer with a runner on in the eighth. Baltimore starter Jason Hammel retired 11 of 13 Tampa Bay batters before leaving in the fourth inning with an injured right knee. Tigers 5, White Sox 3

CHICAGO — Doug Fister pitched seven innings of twohit ball, Austin Jackson hit a tying two-run homer and Miguel Cabrera delivered a go-ahead solo shot as Detroit reduced Chicago’s AL Central lead to two games. Jackson’s 14th homer followed a single by Omar Infante in the top of the fifth off Jake Peavy. One batter later, Cabrera hit his 36th of the season to put the Tigers up

3-2. The only two hits Fister (9-8) gave up were solo homers to Dewayne Wise and Gordon Beckham. Rangers 6, Indians 4

ARLINGTON, Texas — Adrian Beltre homered, Matt Harrison worked into the sixth inning for his 16th victory and AL West-leading Texas beat Cleveland. Harrison (16-9) struck out six over 5 2-3 innings while becoming the fourth AL pitcher to reach 16 wins. The lefthander allowed five hits and walked three. Texas scored four times in the second, which started with Beltre reaching on an error that led to three unearned runs. One of those runs scored on the 16th wild pitch by Ubaldo Jimenez (916), who has the most losses and wild pitches in the majors. Mariners 4, Blue Jays 3

TORONTO — Kyle Seager homered and came within a triple of the cycle, and Erasmo Ramirez pitched seven innings for his first major league win to lead Seattle over Toronto. Royals 9, Twins 1

Harper and Moore spoil Dickey’s bid for 19th The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bryce Harper had his first four-hit game and pinch-hitter Tyler Moore launched a go-ahead homer off R.A. Dickey in the seventh inning, powering Washington to the victory. Harper doubled and singled twice off Dickey after the teen star entered 0 for 10 with six strikeouts against the knuckleballer. Leadoff batter Jayson Werth reached base all five times for the NL East leaders, who have won seven straight and 11 of 12 at Citi Field. Looking for a win over baseball’s top team to boost his Cy Young Award resume, Dickey (18-5) mostly pitched out of trouble for seven solid innings. But he gave up a two-run shot to Moore that made it 3-2 in the seventh. Tom Gorzelanny (4-2) got the win and Tyler Clippard allowed a solo homer to Scott Hairston in the ninth before securing his 31st save in 34 attempts.

HOUSTON (AP) — Jimmy Paredes singled and scored an unearned run in the third inning, lifting Houston to the victory in the matchup of the worst teams in baseball.

scoreless ninth for his 33rd save in 37 chances. He was the last of 12 pitchers used in the game, with each team sending six to the mound. The Phillies jumped in front 3-0 in the first inning, highlighted by RBI singles from Carlos Ruiz and Domonic Brown. Miami closed within 3-2 in the third on an RBI single by Justin Ruggiano and a sacrifice fly by Jose Reyes. Philadelphia got a run back in the bottom of the frame on Utley’s RBI single, and then took a 5-2 lead in the fifth on Pierre’s

RBI single off Nathan Eovaldi (412), who gave up five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings. Stanton launched Halladay’s first pitch of the sixth inning deep into the seats in left to bring the Marlins within 5-3. It was Stanton’s 34th homer, tying his career-high set last season. Halladay got that run back himself in the bottom of the frame, lining a single up the middle off Chris Hatcher to drive in Michael Martinez, who had doubled. It was the second RBI of the season for the light-hitting Halladay, who entered batting .152.

And Rollins followed by blasting a two-run homer to right to put Philadelphia ahead 8-3. Rollins shouldn’t have gotten the chance, as Marlins catcher Rob Brantly dropped a routine foul pop and was charged an error on the pitch before the homer. That looked to be plenty of runs for the Phillies, but the Marlins scored four runs against four Philadelphia pitchers in the seventh. Halladay departed after facing three batters, culminating when Bryan Petersen doubled home Brantly.

walking three in the first when the Yankees took a 1-0 lead. Jeter led off with a walk, took third on a double by Nick Swisher and scored on a groundout by Robinson Cano. Russell Martin and Steve Pearce also walked but were stranded. Lester walked the first two batters in the third and the leadoff hitter in the fourth but retired the next three batters in each inning. Then he struck out the side in the fifth, giving him 1,045 career strikeouts, the most by a Red Sox lefty. Bruce Hurst had the old

mark of 1,044. The Red Sox took a 2-1 lead in the third on a double by Ciriaco and RBI singles by Ellsbury and Pedroia. Ciriaco went 2 for 3 and is17 for 35 in nine career games against the Yankees, all this season with the Red Sox. NOTES: Lester’s previous career high was five walks on nine different occasions, most recently on July 22 in a15-7 loss to Toronto in which he allowed 11 runs. ... Yankees LHP Andy Pettitte is scheduled to throw in a simulated

game Wednesday. He’s trying to work his way back into the rotation after breaking his ankle June 28. Pettitte hopes to throw about 60 pitches. ... Injured 1B Mark Teixeira also was with the club even though he is sidelined for up to two weeks with a strained left calf, an injury he aggravated Saturday. “I think we can get plenty of work done here. There’s really not that much I can do anyway. It’s a lot of ice and a lot of ultrasound and stuff like that,” Teixeira said. ... Swisher snapped an 0-for-28 slump with his double in the first.

IRS pays whistleblower $104 million

B R I E F

Job openings decline U.S. employers posted a seasonally adjusted 3.67 million jobs in July, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s down from 3.72 million in June, adding to evidence that the job market has weakened. Nearly 3.5 unemployed people on average were competing for each open position. While that’s down from nearly 7 to 1 in July 2009, in a healthy economy the ratio is usually 2 to 1. Job openings have increased 68 percent over the past three years. But companies aren’t filling them quickly. Total hiring has increased only 11 percent in that stretch.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service has awarded an exbanker $104 million for providing information about overseas tax cheats — the largest amount ever awarded by the agency, lawyers for the whistleblower announced Tuesday. Former Swiss banker Bradley Birkenfeld is credited with exposing widespread tax evasion at Swiss bank UBS AG. Birkenfeld himself served roughly two and-a-half years in prison for a fraud conspiracy conviction related to the case, which resulted in a $780 million fine against the bank and an unprecedented agreement requiring UBS to turn over thousands of names of suspected American tax dodgers to the IRS. “The IRS today sent 104 million messages to whistleblowers around the world — that there is now a safe and secure way to report tax fraud and that the IRS is now paying awards,” Birkenfeld’s lawyers, Stephen M. Kohn and Dean A. Zerbe, said in a statement. “The IRS also sent 104 million messages to banks around the world — stop enabling tax cheats or you will get caught.” The IRS, which doesn’t usually confirm individual award payments, said Birkenfeld signed a disclosure waiver, allowing the agency to confirm his award. In a summary of the award provided by Birkenfeld’s lawyers, the IRS said, “The comprehensive information provided by the whistleblower was exceptional in both its breadth and depth.” In 2006, Congress strengthened whistleblower rewards. The 2006 law targets high-income tax dodgers, guaranteeing rewards for qualified whistleblowers if the company in question owes a least $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

Insurance costs rise 4% Annual premiums for job-based family health insurance went up just 4 percent this year, but that’s no comfort with the price tag approaching $16,000 and rising more than twice as fast as wages. The annual survey released Tuesday by two major research groups served as a reminder that the nation’s problem of unaffordable medical care is not solved. Premiums for a family plan are averaging $15,745, with employees paying more than $4,300 of that. And lower wage workers are paying more for skimpier coverage than their counterparts at upscale firms.

County fees changing The Luzerne County Planning Commission has proposed new fee schedules for zoning and subdivision/land development applications. Most fees are unchanged. The commission is expected to adopt the new fees at its meeting at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Council Meeting Room at the county courthouse. The fee schedules can be viewed at www.luzernecounty.org. Click “Departments & Agencies” and select “Planning Commission.”

Retailers balk at card deal The National Retail Federation is opposing a proposed $7.25 billion settlement that Visa Inc., MasterCard Inc. and major banks have agreed to pay retailers for alleged fee fixing. The NRF says it believes the proposed settlement will not stop swipe fees from continuing to rise, which will hurt both retailers and shoppers, and that it will prevent any future legal challenges.

Larry, left, and Daisy Wilson, of Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, both over 50, search for jobs on their laptops. More older workers are staying in the workforce, reducing opportunities for younger job seekers.

More seniors stay on job WASHINGTON -- Millions of workers in their prime have dropped out of the labor market in recent years, but many older Americans are delaying retirement and being added to the workforce in record numbers. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans ages 65 and older are working or looking for jobs -the highest in almost half a century. The labor participation rates for other age groups have slid since the recession began at the end of 2007, most sharply for younger adults but also for people in their prime working years, their 30s to 50s. The contrasting employment paths of seniors and other age groups reflect a long-term population and lifestyle shift intensified by the recession. And

NEW YORK — The U.S. government’s debt rating could be heading for the “fiscal cliff” along with the federal budget. Moody’s Investors Service on Tuesday said it would likely cut its “Aaa” rating on U.S. government debt, probably by one notch, if budget negotiations fail. If Congress and the White House don’t reach a budget deal, about $1.2 trillion in spending cuts and tax inDOW 13,323.36

start families, send children to school and buy the latest gadgets. Consumer spending accounts for about twothirds of the economy, and it has been sluggish during this recovery. Seniors still make up a relatively small share of the total workers in America. But senior employment has jumped 27 percent in the past five years, surpassing 7 million in July, while adults ages 35 to 54 with jobs has fallen 8 percent during the same period. It isn’t just finances that are keeping many seniors in the workforce. Research shows many of the 78 million or so baby boomers, the oldest of whom is turning 66 this year, see working as a healthy way to stay active and productive.

the trend has significant implications for the broader economy. Having more older workers in the job market helps the country’s precarious fiscal situation; by working, they’re paying Social Security and other taxes rather than drawing public retirement and Medicare funds. The share of seniors claiming Social Security benefits fell last year to the lowest level since 1976. But there is a tradeoff: In this lackluster economy, the increasing employment of seniors means fewer jobs for their younger counterparts. Apart from the direct financial hit to individuals, the shift represents a big collective loss of purchasing power. Young adults and prime-age workers spend comparatively more money because they are more apt to move,

creases will automatically kick in starting Jan. 2, a scenario that’s been dubbed the “fiscal cliff,” because it is likely to send the economy back into recession and drive up unemployment. A year ago, Moody’s cut its outlook on U.S. debt to “negative,” which acts as a warning that it might downgrade the rating, after partisan wrangling over raising the U.S. debt limit led the nation to the brink of default.

to keep paying its bills. Despite the rating cut last year from S&P and the warnings from Moody’s and Fitch, the U.S. has been able to continue borrowing at very low rates. That’s because investors are still buying U.S. government bonds, as economic turmoil in Europe and uncertainty in other parts of the globe have left U.S. debt and U.S. dollars looking like safe bets. In contrast, bond investors demand high rates from troubled countries like Spain and Italy.

There’s a laidback atmosphere in the weather ofﬁce this morning as we sit back and continue to observe a sprawling zone of high pressure over the eastern United States. Indeed this will guarantee for us another stunning day with warm afternoon temperatures. tomorrow will be almost a carbon copy of today with dry weather lasting into Friday night. However, by then a cold front will be approaching from the west and this could bring some showers into our area during the day Saturday. Up to this date last year, I had measured an astounding 60.49” of rain. So far this year, the total is 25,99 or 34.5” less.

Veal Napoleon has three layers of fresh flavors

Hillside Farms Farm to Table dinner will benefit educational programs

he chickens were roaming, the cows were grazing, and Pat Greenfield was on a scouting mission –

searching out food for Saturday’s Farm to Table dinner at

the Lands at Hillside Farms. “When you do farm to table, you base it on what’s available,” she said. “It’s not as easy as it sounds. It depends on time and temperature. It depends on rain.” See FRESHNESS, Page 2C

Armenian cucumbers, which are actually a melon, star in this salad.

We all know the dark green slicing cucumber with its thick skin and large seeds. It’s the most common type of cucumber sold at grocery stores and is usually found coated with food-safe wax to help it stay fresh. Smaller pickling cucumbers, often the “Kirby” variety, are becoming more widely available. Slightly warty and mottled light and dark green, these are the cucumbers that grow up to become kosher dills. English cucumbers, long and slender and often sold in a tight

The crunchy flesh is never bitter, and, unlike its cucumber cousins, this variety has a long shelf life in the refrigerator. plastic wrapper, have thin skins and small seeds, so they’re often the cucumber of choice for salads. But they’re expensive. At farmers’ markets, you’ll have even more choices. Some farmers offer lemon cucumbers, an heirloom variety. These small, round, lemon-colored

cucumbers have large seeds, and their sweet flavor seldom carries the bitterness that sometimes plagues slicing cucumbers. Shoppers stopping by Farmer Jeff’s booth at the Saturday morning Peachtree Road Farmers Market in Atlanta may be among those lucky enough to find one more choice, the Armenian cucumber. This pale green ridged cucumber is sometimes called a snake cucumber in recognition of its long, curving shape. Although it looks and tastes like a cucumber, botanically it’s a melon. The pale green See CUCUMBERS, Page 2C

EVEN THOUGH MY favorite season of summer is coming to a close, I can’t help thinking of the beautiful colors fall brings to our foliage. The layers of yellow, orange, red and brown are just so warm and inviting. They complement each other beautifully. Speaking of layers, I them in food, too. What’s better than vanilla/chocolate/strawberry ice cream or a European pastry called a Napoleon? This delicacy is layers of flavored cream separated by flaky puff pastry, but when you take a bite and those flavors become one, it is amazing. So that got me to thinking … What could Chef John do with some of my favorite foods: veal, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and portabella mushrooms? Hmm, imagine these wonderful flavors layered together. With that in mind, he came up with Veal Napoleon. This dish looks and smells as great as it tastes. A versatile feature about this entrée is that you can use chicken or a meaty fish like swordfish in place of the veal for a different combination of flavors if you desire. If you are like me and prefer someone else to do the cooking, we will offer the Veal Napoleon at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning Thursday evening. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com. •••

VEAL NAPOLEON Yield: 1 serving Ingredients 3 veal medallions, seasoned and seared (6-8 ounces) 3 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, 1⁄4-inch thick, seasoned with salt and black pepper 2 slices locally grown tomatoes, 1⁄2-inches thick, seasoned with salt and black pepper 1 Portabella mushroom, roasted and cut the same diameter as tomatoes. (Brush the mushroom with extra virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper. Roast in 400 degree oven for eight minutes.) 1 ⁄4 ounce garlic, chopped 1 ⁄4 ounce shallots, small dice 1 ⁄2 ounce scallions, chopped 2 ounces wild mushrooms 2 ounces Chianti 4 ounces veal stock, reduced 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chiffonade (ribbon-like cut) Whole butter, as needed Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) as needed Parsley, chopped, as needed Salt and pepper, to taste Method of preparation 1.

Place the Napoleon on a baking pan that has been sprayed with pan coating and into a preheated 400 F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the Napoleon is heated thoroughly and the cheese is melted. 3. While the Napoleon is heating, begin the sauce by sautéing the garlic, shallots and mushrooms in EVOO in a suitable-size sauce pan. 4. Remove the pan from the stove and add Chianti, return to heat and reduce by half; add veal stock and reduce by half again. 5. Finish by swirling butter and basil into sauce.

For example, Greenfield said, if growing conditions provide a bumper crop of carrots, you’d be able to offer a hefty portion of that particular root veggie to a great number of guests. If the growing conditions were less favorable, you might have just enough to grate a few golden shreds on top of the salads. But, have no fear. As she searched the greenhouses and fields at The Lands last week, Greenfield spotted an abundance of potential ingredients, from the rainbow chard she plans to pair with smoked cheese in a quiche to the “tons of tomatoes” that are destined to be baked with eggplant and black olives. Eggs from the chickens as well as milk and cream contributed by the cows at The Lands at Hillside Farms will find their way onto the menu as part of a crème brulee dessert. And, the chicken and beef entrees will come from free-range, grass-fed animals from other area farms. Greenfield hesitates to reveal more details about the menu for the $100-per-person dinner that benefits the “Green Guides” educational programs at the Lands. “I want there to be some surprises,” she said. Naturally, she promises, it will all be delicious. “Everything from the farm tastes so much better than from the market.” And, the dinner helps a good cause, said Suzanne Kelly, development director at The Lands.

color is echoed in the flesh, and the seeds are tiny. The crunchy flesh is never bitter, and, unlike its cucumber cousins, this variety has a long shelf life in the refrigerator, up to two weeks. And there’s no need to peel them before serving. This year’s unusual weather has wreaked havoc on many farmers’ squash and cucumber crops. Jeff Collins, who sells his produce as Farmer Jeff, had Armenian cucumbers available in June and hopes to have them again this month. •••

What: Farm to Table dinner When: 5:30 p.m. Saturday Where: Begins with cocktails and silent auction at The Cottage on the Lands at Hillside Farms, Hillside Road, Shavertown. Tickets: $100 More info: thelandsathillsidefarms.org

“Close to 4,500 students from all over Northeastern Pennsylvania came here for education last year,” she said, “and 43 percent were considered ‘at risk’ or had physical, mental, emotional or development challenges.” At The Lands, where animals are considered co-educators, children from the Wilkes-Barre Association for the Blind can touch and smell flowers and vegetables and pet some animals. Interns from Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 get a chance to tend, harvest and sell vegetables on their 1.5-acre “Dream Green Farm.” And children from Head Start experience all sorts of things. “They actually partake in the milking process,” Kelly said. “They feel the temperature of the milk. They learn about liters and gallons. They learn about inches and feet by measuring the cow’s tail.” The dinner also will allow guests a chance to explore a recently “sculpted” area outside The Cottage that is suitable for all sorts of gatherings, from local parties to meetings of people from larger metropolitan areas who, Kelly predicts, will be excited to experience the farm. “It can accommodate up to 250 people,” she said.

we’ve named this one in honor of its cucumber star, though the recipe will work fine with any variety of cucumber. Chilling the sliced onion in cold water cuts its bite, a good tip for those who find fresh onions too pungent to eat raw. 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed 8 ounces cherry-size fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine), rinsed and drained 1 large Armenian cucumber, about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch pieces 3 medium tomatoes, cored and seeded, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives 1/4 cup roughly chopped mint In a small bowl, combine red onion with water to cover. Set aside or refrigerate until remainder of salad is ready. May be prepared and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.

Flowers as well as food come from The Lands at Hillside Farms. You may see some of them adorning the tables at Saturday’s dinner.

Nothing tastes quite as good as food fresh from the farm, Pat Greenfield said.

‘Tons of tomatoes’ are destined to be baked with eggplant and black olives in one of the many dishes to be served at the Farm to Table dinner.

If you visit The Lands at Hillside Farms, you might see this chicken. And if you attend a dinner there on Saturday, you may eat some of her eggs – perhaps in the crème-brulee dessert.

To make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic and pepper. Arrange chicken breasts in a plastic bag or bowl. Cover with half the vinaigrette. Turn to coat evenly, cover container and refrigerate at least 1 hour. May be done up to 1 day ahead. Pour remaining vinaigrette over mozzarella balls and refrigerate. When ready to serve, preheat grill to very hot. Lightly oil grate. Remove mozzarella balls from refrigerator. Grill chicken about 3 minutes per side or just until done. Do not overcook. Remove chicken from grill and allow to rest. On serving platter, arrange cucumber, tomatoes and olives. Dice chicken and sprinkle over salad. Add mozzarella balls and drizzle salad with marinade in container. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 PAGE 7C

A good conversationalist allows others to speak their minds as well Dear Abby: I’m really bad when it comes to speaking. It’s hard for me to squeak out the few words I can. I am shy and not very sociable, so when I’m with people, even my two friends, I feel like I come across as rude. I never have the right things to say. When I’m with my family, I don’t usually have this problem. In public, it seems like everyone else is so much more interesting than I am. Making conversation is a lot of trouble. I know this sounds silly, but do you know if there is anything that can be done about it? I heard you had a booklet about being more social. Is it still published? If so,

DEAR ABBY ADVICE how can I get one? — Victoria in South Carolina Dear Victoria: Making conversation may seem like “a lot of trouble” to you because making conversation is a SKILL that you haven’t yet mastered. A surefire way to contribute in social situations is to become informed about what is going on in the world by reading books, magazines, the Dear Abby column (of course) and going on the Internet. The more informed you are about the world, the better you will be.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

You don’t have to be an “authority” on everything. A good conversationalist is interested in what other people have to say instead of feeling pressured to fill the air with the sound of his or her own voice. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions about how to polish one’s social skills. It isn’t meant to be read just once and then put aside. Read it often because it covers a variety of social situations. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips not only for what to say, but also what NOT to say, which is one of the keys for

becoming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to know better. If parents, teachers and clergy know people who need help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of their lives. Most people can concentrate on only one thing at a time. One of the best cures for shyness is to forget about yourself and concentrate on the OTHER person by asking about what he or she is interested in. Try it, and you’ll find it works. Dear Abby: I have this little boy I tutor. He is 7 and says he loves me. I’m 18. I try to tell him I’m way too old and he isn’t my type, but all he says is, “Age ain’t nothing but a

number.” Help! I need to know what to do. — Alex in New Jersey Dear Alex: Start by telling him that the word “ain’t” isn’t appropriate — that what he should be saying is, “Age isn’t anything but a number.” Then tell him that while you are complimented, he is there to study — so you’ll revisit the subject when HE is 18.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most people value what they work hard to get. Where hard work is not necessary, the perceived value drops. Keeping this in mind, make someone work for your attention. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you stumble upon joy; other times you have to create it. Today brings a mixed bag. Initially, you won’t have to look for happiness; it will find you, which will inspire you to hunt down more of it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You look for the good in every situation. Usually, you can find it, but sometimes the good is just not there. That’s when you know it’s up to you to inject some. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll share what you know, and others will educate you, as well. Note that friendly sharing is always gentle. You’re mindful to gift information, not bludgeon people with it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Spotlight stealers abound. They just don’t realize that the show is where you are. But everyone else does. Eventually, the attention returns to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The day is rife with sticky situations, innuendo and dicey exchanges. Surrender the management of relationships to the universe, and believe that you were meant for the goodness that will follow. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No matter how it may seem, the one in charge of your destiny is still you. When others appear to hold all of the cards, grab the dice and run. Start your own game.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to excel professionally. However, home and family take priority over your other interests. Work can wait. The time constraints and stressors are illusory. Don’t buy in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s normal, but not helpful, to come at financial issues from an emotional place. Pay what you can really afford and not a penny more. Finding the right number will require thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a boisterous quality to the day. Loved ones bombard you when you want peace. But it’s nice to know that you’re needed, and ultimately, it feels good to help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). An active social life involves choices. Which invitations should you accept? Though you can think of excellent reasons to accept certain offers, in the end, you’ll go where you’re likely to have the most fun. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You go into an arrangement with an idealistic notion of what to expect. But just because a scenario isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it won’t be of value to you. Consider saying “yes” just for the experience. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 12). After years of struggle, your life is shaping into the life you want. You’ll be more able to command yourself, and you’ll establish new patterns over the next 10 weeks. A joint effort brings praise and money in October. Aries and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 2, 39, 20 and 12.
