borhood residents checked on the creek’s rise. A month ago today, the neighborhood around the bridges was evacuated as the creek rose during Tropical Storm Irene. It was evacuated again with the rest of the low-lying areas of the city as the Susquehanna River rose following Tropical Storm Lee. Water in the creek was passing about a foot from the bottom of the bridges at 10 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters said the bridge

Reports of localized flooding kept emergency responders around the area busy during heavy rainfall Tuesday night. Solomon Creek in South Wilkes-Barre rose quickly during the storm, prompting the city fire department to close bridges over the creek. Starting about 10 p.m. crews began closing the flood gates to the bridges on South Franklin Street, Regent Street, Barney Street and Waller Street. As they worked, anxious neigh- See FLOODING, Page 14A

Disaster assistance plan from state eyed

State and local officials discuss how to help those who do not qualify for federal aid. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

HARRISBURG – Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency Director Steve Bekanich on Tuesday told a panel of state lawmakers a fund is needed to help disaster victims when federal damage thresholds are not met. “One of the most difficult things I have to do in my job is tell people that I cannot provide them the financial help that they need when they are faced with “One of their own personal disaster,” the most Bekanich said. difficult “A state program will things I make all of our have to do jobs that much easier,” he told in my job the joint is tell peoHouse-Senate Veterans Af- ple that I fairs and Emer- cannot gency Prepaprovide redness Comthem the mittee.

Baker said legislation will be proposed in late fall. Baker said proposals include dedicating the Johnstown Flood Tax, which is an 18 percent levy on alcohol, or spending some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in surplus created by passage of the state budget this summer. “For victims whose lives have been devastated or severely disrupted by natural disaster, this is not a philosophical question,” she said. “It is a very practical consideration of need and fairness. Those who have seen homes and businesses wiped out should not be penalized because the economy is stagnant.” Those testifying included: Plymouth Borough Council President Frank Coughlin; Plymouth Township Supervisor Joseph See DISASTER, Page 14A

Funding for Luzerne County’s 911 on decline as officials face crunch Decreasing number of landline telephones means less money in fees. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

09815 10011

Luzerne County relies on a fee on phone lines to help cover the cost of providing 911 emergency services to residents and visitors, but that revenue is project-

ed to decrease hundreds of thousands of dollars next year, officials say. Phone customers are Urban charged $1.25 per month for landlines and $1 per cell phone. In 2010, the county’s general fund operating budget received

about $4.2 million in revenue from phone fees, county records show. The revenue decreased to about $3.4 million this year and is expected to dip to slightly under $3 million next year, said county 911 Data/Technical Support Manager Fred Rosencrans. Revenue from the landline fee has been decreasing about $100,000 annually in recent years because more county resi-

dents are doing away with home phones and relying solely on wireless options, Rosencrans said. There are currently 176,629 landline phones in the county -- a reduction of about 27,534 since 2006, according to county statistics. The state decides how much wireless fee funding is awarded to each county, and the allocation is typically higher for coun-

ties that are making improvements to their emergency infrastructure, he said. Luzerne County’s wireless allocation was higher in recent years when it was redoing addresses, enhancing mapping, replacing a computer-aided dispatch system and phone switch and rehabilitating its building, Rosencrans said.

COUNCIL Continued from Page 1A

council: the hiring of a county manager. Association members asked candidates whether they would publicly release manager applicant names, if they prefer local or outof-the-area applicants and what qualifications are important. Here’s a synopsis of some of their responses: • James Bobeck, 31, an attorney from Kingston, said he opposes the release of names because it will deter qualified applicants who don’t want to risk termination from their current employment. He said he wants the most qualified person, which could be someone local or in another state. He wants a strong communicator with financial and legal acumen. • Edward A. Brominski, 71, a former county commissioner and assessment director from Swoyersville, opposes the release of names, saying applicants could be terminated. He supports a national search and selection of someone from outside the area who is “removed from everything.” County council members will ensure the needs of local residents are addressed, he said.

• Elaine Maddon Curry, 63, a health care library services supervisor from Butler Township, said she would not release the names of applicants, though she would consider releasing the names of several finalists after they were offered the opportunity to withdraw if they didn’t want their identities disclosed. She wants a search to be “far and wide” and would consider local applicants if they don’t have “meaningful ties” with anyone currently in county government. The manager should be an independent “free thinker” with lots of ideas, she said. • Kathleen M. Dobash, 51, a part-time therapeutic staff support worker and artist from Hazleton, said she believes the selection of a manager should be transparent and open, and the manager must know how to “live within a budget.” • Joyce Dombroski-Gebhardt, 54, Kingston, who has worked as an executive secretary and stenographer, said names should not be released because manager applicants could lose their livelihood. She wants a manager with experience in a home rule operation and a record of management success and supports a national search. • Harry Haas, 35, a history teacher from Wilkes-

Barre, favors a national search but wouldn’t rule out somebody from the area. The county deserves the “best,” and that person could be from West Virginia or West Nanticoke, he said. He wants a manager with integrity, past experience managing a like-sized operation and someone who is “beyond reproach.” Names should not be released because it will “take people out of the equation” who don’t want to risk losing their current employment, he said. • Charles Hatchko, 66, a retired county prison employee from Jenkins Township, said he wants a national search but wouldn’t rule out qualified local applicants. He believes the names of six to 10 finalists should be publicly released and wants a manager who is accountable, responsible and nonpolitical. • Eugene Kelleher, 67, a retired teacher from Dallas Township, wants a manager with a strong financial background who works well with people and demonstrates character and integrity. He wants to personally interview finalists to see how they answer questions. He would release applications with the names and residencies redacted to allow the public to review credentials. • Michael Lacey, 52, a pharmacy owner from

Barbara L. McNeely August 25, 2011 Barbara L. (Brown) McNeely, 73, died peacefully in the presence of her family on Thursday, August 25, 2011, at York Hospital. She fought well to the end against her heart disease remaining quite active. Mrs. McNeely was born in Ashley on January 15, 1938, daughter of the late Noah and Helen Dorothy (Andreas) Brown. Barb spent most of her life in Pennsylvania, first in the WilkesBarre area and then in Bethlehem. “Skipper” was a graduate of GAR High School, Wilkes-Barre. She moved to York a few years ago to be closer to her son and grandchildren. Her main focus in life was her grandchildren, and she was very actively involved in their lives. She

provided a source of love, encouragement and security to her entire family, and traveled frequently to spend time with her loved ones. Barb was preceded in death by a son, David N. McNeely. Survivors include a son, Michael M. McNeely, and his wife, Susan, York; daughter, Susan C. Moore, and her husband, Thomas, Kingsport, Tenn.; four grandchildren, Ryan P. McNeely, Shannon K.

Friends and family are invited to a memorial service at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Nebo Baptist Church, 75 Prospect St., Nanticoke. Officiating will be the Rev. Tim Hall. Her ashes will be buried at the convenience of the family. Barb would have preferred that instead of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the organization of your choice that fights cancer or heart disease.

Franklin Township, would release the names of the finalists and wants a manager with character and experience balancing budgets, analyzing contracts and motivating people. • Sal Licata, 60, a retired teacher from Pittston, said rejecting local applicants would send a message to other areas that the county doesn’t have qualified residents who could handle the job. He said he wants the best person, regardless of residency. He opposes the release of applicant names. • Tim McGinley, 64, an administration director from Kingston, said the manager must have a record of honesty, integrity, accountability and team leadership. He supports a nationwide search and said he will focus on qualifications – not the names or addresses of the applicants. • Rick Morelli, 39, a strategic customer specialist from Sugarloaf Township, said releasing the names of applicants is necessary to restore public trust. He wants a manager with the vision and experience needed to consolidate county government to make it more efficient and streamlined. The manager must also be independent and willing to stand up to council, he said. • Tim Mullen, 52, a reg-

istered nurse from Kingston Township, wants a nationwide search and believes the names of applicants should be released at some point because people don’t trust the county. He wants a manager with experience in finance, accounting and managing people. He believes the majority of people want a manager from outside the area. • Jeremy Packard, 73, an adjunct, part-time history faculty member from Kingston, said the manager must have experience in finance and administration. He supports a nationwide search and said he is skeptical about finding someone from the area who does not have connections that could inhibit his or her ability to do the best job. The names of applicants should not be released, though he would consider publicly disclosing the names of the top three or four finalists. • John Ruckno, 62, a retired investment professional and business owner from Dallas, said he supports a nationwide search and would only consider a local person who has no familial or other connection to anyone in power in the county. The manager must be nonpolitical. He doesn’t support releasing the names of applicants. • Eileen Sorokas, 63, a

retired factory worker from Wilkes-Barre, wants a manager with integrity, ethics and proven leadership experience. She supports releasing the names of applicants. She would choose the best applicant regardless of residency but expressed concerns about someone from out of the area who would use the position as a stepping stone. • Stephen A. Urban, 58, a county commissioner from Wilkes-Barre, supports a national search but believes there are also many qualified local candidates who should be considered. The names of applicants should be released because the manager will head the county’s executive government branch, and the home rule charter prevents residents from electing a manager, he said. • Rick Williams, 63, an architect from Kingston, said he wants a manager with a proven management record, a thick skin and the confidence to make “tough choices” and stand up to council. He wouldn’t release the names of all applicants. Council should decide if the names of finalists should be released, and if so, how many, with the understanding that the finalists would have the opportunity to withdraw if they don’t want to be identified, he said.

COUNTY CORRUPTION

Ex-commissioner’s Jenkins Twp. townhouse was acquired and sold by FNCB

Bank: Skrepenak owes $57,000

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Dunmore-based First National Community Bank acquired and sold former Luzerne County Commissioner Greg Skrepenak’s Jenkins Township townhouse earlier this year because he defaulted on his mortgage, but the bank says he still owes about $57,000, according to its attorney. The bank recently filed a judgment ordering Skrepenak to pay the difference between what he owes and what

Hiscox, of Hiscox and Musto in Kingston, said this judgSkrepenak ment process is available to lenders who aren’t able to recover their losses by reselling properties acquired at sheriff mortgage foreclosure sales. The townhouse had been listed for

foreclosure at the end of 2010 after Skrepenak failed to make $237,346 in mortgage payments to the bank, records show. Skrepenak bought the property for $278,646 in 2008. The bank acquired the property at a sheriff sale in March and then sold it for $185,000 in May, county property records show. Skrepenak, who is halfway through a two-year federal prison sentence for his guilty plea to corrupt receipt of a reward for an official action,

would have to honor the judgment unless he filed court paperwork contesting it, which he hasn’t done, Hiscox said. The townhouse was at the center of the corruption charge against Skrepenak. The former commissioner acknowledged accepting a $5,000 reduction in closing costs when purchasing the property in exchange for a vote as commissioner to put the townhouse project in a program that used tax revenue to fund infrastructure such as roadways.

Property insurer dropped policy; liability coverage good to Nov. 25, after which it won’t be renewed. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials were under the impression that the Hotel Sterling now has no property or liability insurance, but the building’s insurance agent said Tuesday that only the property insurance has expired without new coverage. Insurance agent Rick Gazenski said Tuesday liability insurance is handled by a different provider and won’t expire until Nov. 25. However, the liability insurance provider – Arizona-based Scottsdale Insurance Co. – has already informed the nonprofit owner of the property, CityVest, that it won’t renew the policy, said Gazenski, vice president and co-owner of J.W. Hoban in Wilkes-Barre. Gazenski said he was unable to find property insurance because of publicity Wilkes-Barre over structural conissued a concerns with the landmark Wilkes-Barre demnation property, and he exnotice on the pects the same probproperty last lem finding a new proweek after vider for liability covtwo engineers erage.

Salisbury, Md.-based Tri-State General Insurance had issued a notice in July indicating it was cancelling its property coverage of the Sterling effective Sept. 27 because of the poor condition of the 113-year-old structure. The property insurance would have covered losses from a fire and certain other types of damage, Gazenski said. Insurance coverage would be a moot point if government officials identify demolition funding and tear down the property before Nov. 25, he said. The existing liability insurance does not cover risks associated with demolition, but contractors handling demolition are typically required to provide liability coverage, Gazenski said. If not, a separate demolition liability policy would be required. Wilkes-Barre issued a condemnation notice on the property last week after two engineers hired by the city concluded the structure was unsafe. The city ordered CityVest to begin demolishing the North River Street building within 30 days. The CityVest board responded by instructing the city to tear down the structure if it’s deemed unsafe, because the nonprofit has no assets. County commissioners have said they would consider using some money from a business loan fund to help pay for the estimated $1 million demolition, but only if the city pays a share of the expense. The city has not yet provided an answer on what, if any, funding it will provide, county officials said.

Church aiding flood victims

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

U.S. Rep. Tom Marino talks to the Crime Clinic of Greater Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday afternoon at the Wyoming Valley Country Club in Hanover Township.

Marino hopes for flood relief

“(FEMA emergency disaster relief) should be distributed immediately and I’m hoping in the next 48 hours or three to four days, the states will have that money and it’s going to be handed down to the county.”

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – U.S. Rep. Tom Marino is hoping municipalities and homeowners affected by the flood three weeks ago will soon receive much-needed federal relief. Marino, R-Lycoming Township, made his remarks during the Crime Clinic of Greater Wilkes-Barre lunch at Wyoming Valley Country Club on Tuesday. The congressman briefly talked about a host of issues, including immigration, national security and tougher federal laws against child pornography. But it was the recent flood that sparked interest from the approximately 40 people in attendance. The U.S. Senate reached a bipartisan deal Monday night preventing a government shutdown after the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared there is enough money for disaster aid until the end of the federal fiscal year, which ends Friday. Before the Senate vote, FEMA warned emergency disaster relief would dry up. “Miraculously, they found hundreds of millions of dollars they said they didn’t have,” Marino said. “It should be distrib-

uted immediately and I’m hoping in the next 48 hours or three to four days, the states will have that money and it’s going to be handed down to the county.” The Susquehanna River in WilkesBarre reached a record crest of 42.6 feet on Sept. 9, severely flooding West Pittston, Exeter, Jenkins Township, Plymouth Township, Shickshinny, parts of Plains Township and other low-lying areas not protected by the Wyoming Valley Levee System. Steve Bekanich, emergency management coordinator for Luzerne County, said there is approximately $4 million in flood-related damage in the county. Earlier this year, Congress eliminated funding for the Susquehanna Flood Forecast and Warning System, which con-

sists of gauges that document water depth, especially in time of high water. The U.S. Geological Survey and the state Department of Environmental Protection picked up the funding to keep the gauges operating through 2012. Marino said he will be requesting a study to review the “entire flood plain on the East Coast.” “We have to let people know this, if you live in a flood plain and you need to be bought out and the federal and state government needs to help in that area,” Marino said. “Or if you decide to stay, you’re not going to be able to get insurance. You’re staying there at your own peril and you can’t expect the taxpayers to bail you out the next time you need help. It’s just common sense.”

W-B man agrees to plead guilty in 2010 gun theft case By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A Luzerne County man has agreed to plead guilty for his alleged role in the theft of a dozen guns during a burglary in Monroe County. Jerome Sharr, 20, of South Empire Street, Wilkes-Barre, filed a plea agreement in federal court on Monday indicating he will plead guilty to stealing a firearm from a licensed dealer. He still faces numerous burglaryand theft-related charges in Luzerne County Court for a crime spree that police alleged targeted homes last year from Bear Creek Township to the Mountain Top region. The maximum penalty for the offense is imprisonment for a period of 10 years and a $250,000 fine. Sharr and David Toney, 20, of Norwood Avenue, Hanover Township,

Sharr

were indicted by a federal grand jury in June for their alleged role in smashing into the American Sport Shooting Club near Brodheadsville and stealing 12 guns on Dec. 29, according to

arrest records. The two men had been charged by state police. State police alleged Sharr and Toney were driving on state Route 209 and decided to burglarize the shooting club after passing the business. Sharr repeatedly rammed a garage door at the rear of the building with his vehicle until the door buckled, arrest records say. Once inside, Sharr and Toney smashed open a display case and stole

12 guns, state police alleged. At the time of the burglary in Monroe County, Sharr was wanted in connection with break-ins in Bear Creek Township and Wright Township and a drive-by shooting in Wilkes-Barre. Sharr was captured when he was found hiding under a grill behind a Wilkes-Barre house on Dec. 30. His capture ended a day-long pursuit that began in Dallas. State police recovered several of the stolen guns at a house on East Beatty Street in Wilkes-Barre, at Toney’s house in Hanover Township and at a residence on Parry Street in Luzerne. Toney’s trial in federal court on charges of stealing a gun from a licensed dealer and receiving stolen property is scheduled in November. A federal judge must first accept Sharr’s guilty plea.

The First United Methodist Church of West Pittston is collecting monetary donations in response to the flooding in the area. Any donations will be used to help neighbors recover from the flood. The church is also collecting cleaning supplies, personal items and non perishable food items. Donations can be sent in care of the church at 408 Wyoming Ave., West Pittston, PA 18643. Anyone who needs help to restore their home or who knows someone who does should call the church at 655-1083. Anyone who would like to volunteer to help will be assigned to a work team. Anyone in need of clothing can also come to the church. WILKES-BARRE

Reporter wins Emmy

WNEP investigative reporter Dave Bohman won an Emmy in the “General Assignment Report Within 24 Hours” category during the 29th Annual MidAtlantic Region Emmy Awards held Saturday in Philadelphia. Bohman’s report, called “Four Loko Overdose,” showed the danger of an alcoholic drink through Bohman the eyes of a mother, whose teenaged son was hospitalized and placed into a medically induced coma after he and some friends drank “Four Loko.” This was Bohman’s fourth Emmy, but first with WNEP.

Gay marrieds counted

Bureau reported TuesT hedayCensus there are 131,729 same-sex

couples in the U.S. who say they’re married — the first-ever government count of this kind. The 2010 results show that about 20 percent of the estimated 646,464 gay couples in the country checked off “husband” or “wife” boxes on their census forms. The census tally of gay married couples is higher than the actual number of legal marriages, civil unions or domestic partnerships in the U.S. Gay marriage is now legal in six states and the District of Columbia, and one Census Bureau consultant put the number of legally recognized partnerships at 100,000. JERUSALEM

Israel OKs settlers homes Israel granted the go-ahead on Tuesday for construction of 1,100 new Jewish housing units in east Jerusalem, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out any freeze in settlement construction, raising already heightened tensions after last week’s Palestinian move to seek U.N. membership. The announcement drew swift condemnation from the Palestinians, who claim east Jerusalem as their future capital. The United States, European Union and United Nations all expressed disappointment with Israel’s decision.

saster aid program wouldn’t run out of money this week; once obtained, Senate leaders jettisoned the disputed money and passed two bare-bones bills to avert a shutdown. The House, on recess this week, appears likely to endorse that plan in two steps: with a voice vote Thursday on a one-week stopgap measure and a recorded vote next week to keep the government running through Nov. 18. The recorded vote would allow conservatives to

register their opposition to the spending rates in the stopgap measure. The White House, in a letter sent to congressional offices Tuesday, said the $2.7 billion for FEMA would be sufficient to last until at least mid-November. More than $400 million worth of longer-term rebuilding projects that had been put on hold last month can be funded, clearing the way to ease a backlog of needed repairs to roads, parks and public buildings dating to Hurricane Katrina.

A protester carries a banner with a caricature of Syrian President Bashar Assad in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday.

BEIRUT — Once-peaceful Syrian protesters are increasingly taking up arms to fight a six-month military crackdown, frustrated that President Bashar Assad remains in control while more than 2,700 demonstrators are dead, analysts and witnesses say. The growing signs of armed resistance may accelerate the

cycle of violence gripping the country by giving the government a pretext to use even greater firepower against its opponents. Authorities have already used tanks, snipers and mafialike gunmen known as “shabiha” who operate as hired guns for the regime. “If peaceful activism on the part of the protesters turns into violent insurgency, the risk of civil war will dramatically increase and the regime will benefit and likely go for the kill,” Bilal Saab, a Middle East expert at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in California, told The AP.

The degree to which Syrian protesters are arming themselves is difficult to quantify because Syria has blocked nearly all outside witnesses to the bloodshed by banning foreign media and restricting coverage. But interviews with a wide group of witnesses, activists and analysts suggest the conflict is becoming more violent. Led by defecting army conscripts and Syrians with access to weapons smuggled in through neighboring Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon, protesters have begun taking up arms to fight back, observers say.

Clinic owner settles suit with Ashley Pennsylvania Care LLC, trading as Miners Medical Center, had sued borough and its zoning officer. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – The owner of a methadone clinic has reached a tentative settlement of a lawsuit filed against Ashley borough that alleged borough officials sought to shut down the facility based on a bias against its clients. Pennsylvania Care LLC, trading as Miners Medical Center, filed suit last

year against the borough and its zoning officer, Mike Collins, claiming Collins had improperly issued a cease and desist order directing the center to close. A judge later dismissed Collins from the suit. Borough officials maintained the action was taken because the clinic did not obtain all necessary approvals and did not meet zoning requirements. John Harrison, attorney for Pennsylvania Care, argued the clinic had met all requirements, and the borough’s action was based solely on prejudice against patients who take methadone, which is used to treat addiction to heroin and other opiates.

WILKES-BARRE – City police rearrested William Gronosky on Tuesday on charges he burglarized a house in an evacuated flood zone. Gronosky, 28, of Carey Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, was arraigned in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges of burglary and criminal trespass. Police allege Gronosky and Kevin Williams Jr., 29, of Philadelphia, forced open a rear door to a house on Brookside Street on Sept. 11. They fled the house when they saw police and were captured in the rear yard, according to arrest records. Gronosky allegedly told police he was asked by a friend to check on the house for flood damage. At the time of the alleged break-in, the Brookside area was evacuated due to flooding. The initial case against Gronosky was dismissed at a preliminary hearing on Sept. 20 when the arresting officer, Stanley Wychock, did not appear. Police said Tuesday that Wychock was never notified of the hearing. The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office approved refiling of the case against Gronosky, who was apprehended by police investigating an unrelated incident on Carey Avenue at about 3:45 a.m. Tuesday. Gronosky was jailed at the county prison for lack of $1,000 bail. Bail on the initial set of charges against Gronosky -- those that were dismissed -- was $10,000. A preliminary hearing for Gronosky is scheduled on Oct. 6 in Central Court. Williams, who remained jailed at the county prison for lack of $10,000 bail on Tuesday, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 4.

SCRANTON – A federal judge has dismissed an age discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a former West Pittston police officer who was convicted of stealing funds from a drug education program. U.S. District Judge John Jones dismissed a lawsuit filed by former officer Joseph Campbell, finding that Campbell had had failed to present sufficient evidence to support his allegations that West Pittston council members retaliated against him because of a prior lawsuit he filed and because of his age.

WILKES-BARRE – Charges against a city man charged with robbing and assaulting another man were dismissed Tuesday at a preliminary hearing. The two charges against David Edward Price Jr., 35, with a last known address of Kidder Street, were dismissed at the request of his attorney, Nanda Palissery. Palissery made a motion for the dismissal after prosecutors could not present testimony from a witness. According to court papers, on Jan. 28, Mark Griffith told police he was assaulted on Kidder Street by Price, who was known to him. Police said Price punched Griffith repeatedly and then took money and cigarettes. The preliminary hearing was scheduled to be heard by county Senior Judge Hugh Mundy after Palissery made a request for the hearing in June. Palissery said in his filing Price could not attend the first scheduled preliminary hearing due to an unrelated incarceration in Lackawanna County. KINGSTON – A child psychiatrist accused with downloading images of nude children waived his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Paul Roberts on Tuesday.

MOOSIC – Providing bulletproof vests to police officers, equine therapy for traumatized children, celebrity for fundraising efforts – these are but a few of the many selfless works for which amazing women in Northeastern Pennsylvania are responsible. Impressions Media, parent company of The Times Leader and numerous other websites and publications, celebrated the accomplishments and commitment to service of 13 of these women with the company’s 2011 Great Women of Northeast Pennsylvania awards, presented at a high tea on Tuesday afternoon at Glenmaura National Golf Club. “It is truly a pleasure to recognize these extraordinary women who are not only contributing to our present, but making our future stronger as well,” Richard L. Connor, editor and publisher of The Times Leader, said in welcoming the women and about 200 guests. Connor said the event is also meant to help build a network of community volunteers and make everyone aware of “the important organizations that women serve and in many cases have built.” BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Connor and Prashant Shitut, president of Impressions Media, Essy Davidowitz, left, Eleanor Ginader and Charie Aponick attend the Great Women of Northeast Pennsylvania 2011 Awards at Glenmaura National Golf Club in Moosic presented the women, one by one, on Tuesday afternoon. with the awards as Helen Lavelle, • Karen Thomas of Scranton – of Lavelle Strategy Group and a 2010 award recipient, read sum- senior vice president/marketing maries of each woman’s accom- manager at Penn Security Bank. • Wendy Wilson of Scranton – plishments and service. vice president of marketing, comHonored were: • Gloria Adonizio Blandina of munications and external affairs Wyoming – director of Care and at Community Medical Center. • Linda Zaneski of EdwardsConcern Free Health Clinic. • Jeanne Bovard of Scranton – ville – nurse, poet, mentor, mom, former councilwoman. director of the Scranton Honoree Dunleavy found Area Foundation. it “very gratifying to be • Denise Vitali Burne of among these exceptional Scranton – president of women, who have given of Matt Burne Honda.

Rogers has maintained focus in bid to serve on bench By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Attorney Jennifer Rogers said she’s not taking anything for granted during her campaign for Luzerne County judge in the November general election. Sheisgratefulsheearnedadouble nomination on the Republican and Democratic tickets, but that doesn’t mean she has pulled back herefforts,thecandidatetoldThe Times Leader’s endorsement board. “I haven’t changed my focus,” Rogers said of serving the residents of Luzerne County as a fair, just and impartial judge on the Court of Common Pleas. Rogers, 44, of Harveys Lake, is one of seven candidates vying for one of six open seats on the bench. For15 years, Rogers has worked locally as an attorney, most recently as a private attorney since 2006 in her own practice, where

she primarily concentrates on family law. Rogers said the work she is most proud of is that she will take on cases other attorneys won’t because a client can’t afford a lawyer, or can pay only a small amount. If elected to the bench, Rogers said, she would support an ethics/personnel policy put in place by an 11-member county council to take office in January. Rogers said she would also support sharing law clerks and tipstaffs with other judges to cut costs for the court system. During her campaign this summer, Rogers said, she visited nearly 40 church picnics to meet people and to let them know about her candidacy.

NEW YORK — With 1,096 essays for “60 Minutes” under his belt, Andy Rooney will deliver his 1,097th on Sunday’s broadcast. And it will be his last as a regular contributor. The 92-year-old Rooney will announce his departure at the end of the program, where he has been featured since 1978, CBS News announced on Tuesday. It will be preceded by a segment in which Rooney looks back on his career with “60 Minutes” correspondent Morley Safer. He was a tender 59 years old, and, that fall, he became a regular contributor, delivering sometimes folksy, sometimes peppery observations on ordinary life under the title, “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney.”

OUR OPINION: FLOODING

Damage control ideas should flow

T THE RISK of sounding glib, here’s a question that more of us should consider: Why don’t we put an end to “flood damage”? The Susquehanna River, which ripped apart pieces of Luzerne County earlier this month, rages over its natural banks with disturbing frequency; it inflicts about $150 million worth of damage on average each year. Some years – 1865, 1936, 1955, 1972, 1975, 1996 and 2011 – the devastation is worse than others. Facing that reality, those of us who live or work near river’s edge – including local and state policymakers – would be wise in this era of global warming (aka increased storm activity) to more seriously debate the issues. Among them: Can we stop or minimize the property damage? And, can we stop or curtail the floods? The latter issue might one day involve something as grandiose as controlling the weather. Inventors, for instance, aim to quash hurricanes with floating gizmos that force cool ocean water to the surface near a developing storm, causing it to fizzle. (See www.preventhurricanes.com.) Imagine if Tropical Storm Lee, or Agnes, had never fully materialized. Closer to home, can we change the way communities and even individual homeowners control storm water runoff? We can delay or reduce the size

of a flood’s peak if less water immediately rushes into the river and its tributaries. But the sensible mantra more trees, less pavement doesn’t seem to be sinking in at the local planning level; witness the area’s continuing sprawl of new homes and shopping centers in previously forested areas. Is this another case of Luzerne County’s 76 municipalities, multiple school districts and other governing bodies not following a cohesive strategy for new development? Until we can “downsize” our floods, we should strive to reduce costly property losses. Does that mean a retreat from the flood plain? For some people, probably so. But our conversations also need to include subjects such as where to find reliable funding for flood forecast and early warning systems and how to encourage more homeowners to adopt floodproofing techniques. At the very least, more riverside residents need to purchase flood insurance. Storms happen. Let’s not allow the next one to wipe us out.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We expect to see price declines again by the autumn but we do not anticipate a renewed collapse.” Ian Shepherdson The chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics assessed Tuesday’s housing report, which showed that home prices rose in July for a fourth consecutive month in most major U.S. cities. Many analysts predict modest declines in prices later this year as the housing market struggles to rebound.

OTHER OPINION: PALESTINIAN AID

Politicians imperil efforts in Mideast

T’S NOT UNUSUAL to see domestic politics play an oversized role in international relations, but that doesn’t make it any easier to stomach. It has been sickening to watch both Republicans and Democrats put their personal election ambitions above everything else as they play a game of “Who Loves You More?” with Israel. Too often, you can’t get a Democrat and Republican to agree on the time of day in Congress, but dozens have joined hands in a misguided effort to punish the Palestinian government for unilaterally seeking recognition as a state by the United Nations. The legislators have threatened to end an annual $500 million subsidy to the Palestinians that President George W. Bush

began. That threat ignores the fact that U.S. aid to the Palestinians has helped Israel by providing funding for Palestinian security forces in the West Bank. Yuval Dishkin, head of Israel’s internal security service, says the funds have helped reduce terror attacks. David Makosvky, a project director with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said Hamas, the terrorist group that adamantly refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist, stands to benefit the most from a cutoff of aid to the Palestinian Authority. That doesn’t matter to the American politicians. What’s dangerous is taking an unnecessary move against the Palestinians that would make it even harder to find a two-state solution in the Middle East. The Philadelphia Inquirer

Investment in care, community paramount to Geisinger WHEN OUR founder Abigail Geisinger first said, “Make my hospital right, make it the best,” she was focused on doing what was best for patients and the Danville community served by Geisinger Medical Center. Nearly a century later, Mrs. Geisinger’s hospital has evolved into an integrated health care delivery organization that stretches across Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania – yet our focus on patients and the community remains the same. Geisinger’s history is rooted in community service and marked by a longstanding commitment to continuously improving health care quality and value. This commitment grows stronger as we further our culture of innovation and doing what is right for our patients, health plan members and area communities. As a not-for-profit organization, we are wise stewards of resources and demonstrate that stewardship in many ways, such as through community support, our considerable positive impact on the economy and our significant reinvestment in our people, facilities and technology. • Supporting the community. Last year, Geisinger invested $265.9 million in community support, which is two times greater than the amount of community service needed to meet Pennsylvania’s standards as a charitable mission. We take seriously our role as a good corporate citizen and benefit the community in many ways including: care for the elderly and the

GLENN STEELE JR. poor not paid by Medicare or Medicaid; the provision of allied health, residency and fellowship educational programs; free, uncompensated care to patients who cannot afford to pay; investment in health care research; community health, education and outreach programs; services provided by volunteers; and community assistance payments to help local municipalities with the cost of providing services. • Economic impact. According to The Hospital and Health System Association of Pennsylvania, Geisinger has an approximate $5.5 billion annual positive impact on Pennsylvania’s economy. Through direct employment, spending and the ripple effect of our utilization of local, regional and state vendors, Geisinger provided nearly 26,000 jobs to the commonwealth’s workforce in 2010. Throughout Geisinger alone, we have added 6,000 new jobs over the last decade. While statewide unemployment is near its highest levels in 25 years, and with most indicators pointing toward a continued period of job scarcity, Geisinger remains a stable, attractive and growing employer and makes an annual investment of about $1.1 billion in salary, benefits, education and training. • Reinvesting in improving health care. Since 2002, Geisinger has reinvested

more than $1 billion in capital expenditures to ensure our health care professionals and support staffs have the necessary equipment, technology and facilities to provide quality care. What’s more, we expect an additional capital investment of nearly $250 million in the coming year. We are able to continue our patient care and charitable mission thanks to the health system’s positive operational performance. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of our more than 14,400 employees, Geisinger is a strong organization able to invest in the most experienced and talented employees, the best technology and facilities close to where our patients live and work. We gladly accept our responsibility to reinvest energy and resources into further strengthening the health care delivery system of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. Dr. Glenn Steele Jr. is president and chief executive officer of Geisinger Health System, based in Danville. For information, visit www.geisinger.org.

he Hotel Sterling is falling! I got the word from Henny Penny, who overheard Ducky Lucky talking to Goosey Loosey. Ducky quacked that he heard it directly from Chicken Little who was hit in the head by a tiny piece of something while strutting down North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, past the Sterling. Chick believes it was a particle from the Sterling’s roof and definitely not pigeon poop. If you ask me, the whole thing is a fairy tale dreamed up by Foxy Loxy and Cocky Lockey at CityVest headquarters. The dear old Sterling, like the now departed Perry block, apparently is worth far more dead than alive. The script seemingly has been written, the starring roles have been cast and all that remains is to scare all the little people by inferring catastrophic consequences if the building is not razed immediately – or as soon as there is a decision on whether federal disaster relief

Meanwhile, engineer George Albert asserts that in his expert opinion the floodwater flow has stressed the foundation walls of the Sterling, which could result in structural failure from the roof down. Inasmuch as Mr. Albert is also a real estate developer, it seems fair to wonder if his interest in speedy demolition of the Sterling might possibly go beyond his concern for public safety.

Why raise pheasants for hunters’ pleasure?

’m writing in response to Tom Venesky’s article (“Flood causes shortage,” Sept. 25) on pheasant loss from flooding. The loss of pheasants that escaped or died because of recent flooding in Lycoming County is sad. It also resurrected thoughts of why we should be spending money to raise this non-native species simply to give hunters the opportunity to kill them. It doesn’t make sense to raise birds incapable of surviving the winter and to turn them loose in the fall to give hunters whatever pleasure they get from killing these beautiful birds.

Toby Creek also reportedly overflowed its banks and spilled onto North Main Street between Franklin Street and Center Street in Dallas Township. WNEP 16 Meteorologist Kurt Aaron said the storm dropped between 1 and 4 inches of rain on parts of northeastern Pennsylvania. It was caused by a low pressure system to the west meeting a high pressure system to the northeast and funneling warm, moist air over the region, Aaron said.

That damage may not add up to eligibility for federal aid, but the repair costs can be equivalent to the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entire budget for the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small towns do not have the

While the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone-fee revenue is shrinking, the 911 departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs and call volume are rising, officials said. County commissioners budgeted slightly more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $4.57 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in 911 expenses this year, and the department has requested $4.9 million for expenses next year. In comparison, the county general fund spent $4.4 million on 911 staffing

tax base to generate enough revenue to cover damage from natural disasters,â&#x20AC;? said state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, a committee member. Baker said with the increasing public pressure to control spending, a disaster assistance fund must be fiscally responsible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the state cannot be the ultimate insurer for all people, it is a core function of government to protect life and property,â&#x20AC;? she said.

and operating expenses in 2010, which was almost entirely offset by revenue that year, county records show. County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said state legislators must update the funding law because landline revenue will continue to decrease while cell phone usage is rising. At minimum, the wireless fee should increase to $1.25 and the 70 percent cap should be raised, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not covering expenses, so the county general fund has to put in more money,â&#x20AC;? Urban said.

Fifty-seven percent, or 120,047, of the emergency calls made to county 911 last year came from wireless phones, according to 911. The percentage of wireless calls to 911 is increasing about 3 percent annually, Rosencrans said. Overall, county 911 calls have been increasing about 15,000 annually, Rosencrans said. Commissioners will adopt a proposed 2012 budget in November, and they started the budget process with a $23.6 million gap between projected revenue and spending requests county-

wide for next year. Urban said commissioners are looking for spending cuts in all departments, including 911. 911 officials said all estimates of 2012 revenue are preliminary because the state operates on a fiscal calendar and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve the allocations until the spring. Though 911 is putting more strain on the county budget, it benefits all county residents and also helped municipalities that no longer have to fund their own dispatching, Urban said.

BALTIMORE — The Boston Red Sox maintained a share of the AL wild-card lead Tuesday night, using four home runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-7 and set up a dramatic conclusion to the regular season. The skidding Red Sox were 6-19 in September before rebounding to edge the last-place Orioles.

Amazin’s balk at club landing in New Jersey By The Associated Press

Injured Lions remain close to team; QB still anyone’s gig Defensive back D’Anton Lynn may begin workouts Thursday, possibly for Penn State’s ‘Coach Mauti.’

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – In the waning minutes of Tuesday’s scrimmage, something strange happened at Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins training camp. It occurred when Chris Barton and Paul Thompson broke down the ice on a two-on-one. Thomspon dished the puck over to Barton, who one-timed it toward the net, forcing goaltender Patrick Killeen to make a pretty nice save. It sounds like a somewhat routine play, but what was different about this two-on-one was that Barton and Thompson spent the last four years as rivals, not teammates. Barton was the captain at Merrimack College, while Thompson was a Hobey Baker finalist at the University of New Hampshire. Both teams played each other several times each season, and Barton and Thompson got to know each other as Hockey East rivals. But that all changed with Tuesday’s two-on-one. “It’s kind of funny when you move up a level and you’re playing with guys you’re used to playing against,” said Thompson, who has an AHL contract with the Penguins. “Chris and I played against each other a lot over the last four years and he was always one of their top players.” For Barton – who is in camp as a tryout, the feeling is mutual.

as Thursday. Mauti, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, went around the locker room on Monday, formally introducing himself to teammates as “Coach Mauti.” The Lions are just happy to see them both around in any capacity. Having Lynn up and about was a particular relief for coaches and players. Though the senior cornerback is listed as doubtful (head/neck) for this week, the long-term outlook is positive. “Lynn, thank goodness, his prognosis is not as severe as we were scared to death of,” coach Joe Paterno said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. “And

Penn State began the week by welcoming an old starter and a new coach. Though neither will suit up for the team this weekend, D’Anton Lynn and Michael Mauti are both still around as the Nittany Lions get ready for Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Indiana. Lynn, who was immobilized and carted off the field against Eastern Michigan after a helmet-to-helmet collision, could resume working with the team as soon See LIONS, Page 5B

TRENTON, N.J. — Newark was the loser in an off-field battle between the Yankees and the Mets. Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo said Tuesday that New York Yankees officials contacted him last month about having its top minor-league team, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, play in Newark’s Eagles & Bears Riverfront Stadium in 2012 while the team’s regular Triple-A field in Moosic undergoes a year of renovations. It was an exciting prospect for New Jersey’s biggest city, DiVencenzo said. Having the Yankees’ top farm team take up a year’s residency could mean an economic boost and a chance for local kids who can’t afford tickets at Yankee See METS, Page 5B

THE TIMES LEADER

Freshman Zach Dutter is making most of his scoring opportunities for the Springfield College men’s soccer team. Dutter (Dallas) has come off the bench in all eight games for the 5-0-3 Pride and has scored two goals – both game-winners. The 5-foot-8 midfielder scored his first college goal in a 1-0 victory over Western New England, then scored in a 3-2 overtime victory over Wheaton. “Zach has fit in really well here at Springfield,” coach Peter Haley said. “We all love the guy for he has character. He’s fun, amiable and light-hearted. And, he’s a good kid.” Dutter is with a group of 11 freshmen and, according to the coach, stands out as one of the team favorites. And he has game. “On the field, Zach is a serious competitor who plays hard, is learning our system and has already scored a couple of key goals for us,” Haley said. NOVAK’S CONFIDENT – Lindsey Wilson College freshman David Novak (Tunkhannock) came up with a big effort in the recent USA Cycling Collegiate Track Championships in Indianapolis. Novak battled for the lead most of the way and settled for fifth place with 26 points. He was just three points out of third place. “David has emerged as one of the hardest working, fearless riders on the team,” coach Dave Grigsby said. “He is a relentless attacker in any bike race, any discipline, and his fearlessness is definitely one of his strengths.” Grigsby said that Novak is also a confident cyclist. “David feels he can win any race he enters and that is something that is impossible to teach,” the coach said. “He was one of our podium riders in a discipline that he had very little experience in before the semester began. We are so proud of David and his attitude and work ethic.” GAGLIARDI IMPROVING – Duke junior Devon Gagliardi (Wyoming Seminary) continues to impress field hockey coach Pam Bustin. “Devon continues to become a stronger and smarter player from day-to-day,” Bustin said. “Her physical improvement from our spring training has been remarkable and now, her skills and on-field awareness puts her amongst the elite in Division I forwards.” Gagliardi, who missed the 2009 season with an injury, had a goal and an assist in 19 games (12 starts) last season. This season, she has four goals – including three game-winners. She scored in a 1-0 victory over Wake Forest, netted the first goal in a 2-0 triumph over Drexel and scored in overtime for a 3-2 victory over Ohio State. “Devon has also become one of our fiercest leaders,” Bustin said. “She demands much from her teammates, but no more than she demands from herself. I enjoy working with Devon

HONOR FOR BULL – Gettysburg sophomore Alex Bull (Berwick) was named Centennial Conference Women’s Runner of the Week after finishing 28th out of 132 runners at the Delaware Invitational. She covered the 6k course in 24:47, the field including many Division I and II runners. “Alex is one of the hardest workers on our team,” coach Aubrey Shenk said. “She is dedicated and committed to her sport and is willing to do whatever is necessary to succeed. Her effort at Delaware was one of grit, determination, fitness, trust and intelligence.” Bull was solid as a freshman according to Shenk but has really stepped it up this season. “A year of hard work, especially during the summer, experience at the college level and a greater self confidence has contributed to her improvement,” the coach said.” I anticipate that the improvement will continue, both for the rest of the season and for the remainder of her college career.” MYERS TACKLES JOB – Sophomore Jake Myers (Nanticoke) has started the season in fine style for the Mansfield sprint football team. Myers, an outside linebacker, leads the 1-1 Mountaineers with 26 tackles. He had 17 in a 37-23 opening-season loss to Cornell and had nine in last weekend’s 40-2 victory over Princeton. “Jake has gotten bigger and stronger since last season and we expect him to be a leader for us on defense,” coach Dan Davis said. According to Davis, Myers was a key to holding Cornell to 21 yards rushing on 32 attempts. The Big Red had averaged more than 250 yards rushing in their four previous games against Mansfield. “Jake is willing to play whatever position is needed and is providing a physical presence to our defense,” the coach said. GOOD MOVE FOR NASTELLI – Sophomore Megan Nastelli (Berwick) is off to a great start with the Marywood women’s tennis team. She’s 5-0 at No. 6 singles and has lost just two games. She’s also 4-1 playing No. 2 and 3 doubles. “Megan played basketball at Marywood last winter and decided to join the tennis team,” first-year coach Dominique Lemire-Ross said. “I was excited when I saw her name on the tryout list because I knew she had played at Berwick and was a solid high school player.” Lemire-Ross figured that Nastelli would be a good addition to the team. “Megan has not disappointed me,” the coach said. “Her record

speaks for itself and she has shown great work ethics and determination. She does the work without complaints and strives to get better. And, she’s open to feedback and is curious about ways that she can improve her game.” Lemire-Ross formerly coached at Dallas High and still lives in Dallas. THIS CAT’S A TOUGH TIGER – Junior Cat Sullivan (Lake-Lehman) is off to a great start with the Rochester Tech women’s volleyball team. The 6-foot middle blocker has a solid 3.09 attack percentage and is second on the team in blocks (35). She has 51 kills, 23 digs and eight service aces. “In a season where we’ve had several injuries or players out with sickness, Cat has provided stability,” coach Jim Lodes said. “She has played in all of our matches, and has started and completed 46 of 47 sets.” The coach feels that Sullivan has improved in many areas. “Cat has committed to becoming a bigger part of our offense,” Lodes said. “She has improved her blocking and transition skills and she is a more versatile attacker this season. She is among our hardest workers and she tends to provide emotional balance with her calm, persistent demeanor. Her serve and defensive skills have also improved.” The Tigers are 6-11 overall and 1-3 in Empire 8 Conference play despite the injuries and illness. OSTRANDER STEPS IN – Keystone’s women’s volleyball team sophomore Lisa Ostrander (Pittston Area) has moved into a starting spot at setter this season. The 5-foot-6 Ostrander leads the team with 92 assists. She also has 15 digs, 12 service aces and four blocks. “We were searching for a new setter and Lisa informed me that she had set in high school and since then she has been working her hardest to brush up on her setting skills for the team,” coach Nina Del Quaglio said. “Setters are put under a lot of pressure which sometimes flusters Lisa, but she is slowing getting better. And, it’s not because of my coaching, it’s because she sincerely wants to.” At Chicago, Roman Karmazin vs. Osumanu Adama, 12, IBF middleweight title eliminator.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Oswalt sharp as Phils bop Braves The Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are doing their best to give away what looked like a certain playoff berth just a few weeks ago. Derek Lowe had another miserable outing, surrendering five runs in four-plus innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies romped to a 7-1 victory Tuesday night that left the Braves on the brink going to the final day of the regular season. Chase Utley, Hunter Pence and Jimmy Rollins homered to back a three-hit outing by Roy Oswalt (9-10), who tuned up for the playoffs with a strong performance in a largely disappointing season. The Braves lost their fourth in a row and eighth in 11 games, sending them to the final day of the regular season assured of no more than a one-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals, who were at Houston. Atlanta had an 81⁄2-game lead just three weeks ago, but it will be no more than one going to the final game — unless a one-game playoff against the Cardinals is needed. That would be Thursday night in St. Louis. Lowe (9-17) has been a $15 million bust for the Braves, losing all five of his September starts and drawing the ire of Atlanta fans. They cheered lustily when manager Fredi Gonzalez popped out of the dugout to make a pitching change after Lowe gave up a leadoff single in the fifth, then showered boos on the highpriced right-hander as he trudged to the dugout — and straight to the showers without so much as a pause. Brewers 6, Pirates 4

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Prince Fielder homered three times in a game for the first time in his career, including a two-run shot in the seventh inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Fielder’s final homer was the least impressive of the three, barely sailing over the wall in right field after he hit monster shots in the third and fifth innings. But it was the last one that made the biggest difference, breaking a 4-4 tie. Marlins 3, Nationals 2

MIAMI — Bryan Petersen homered with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and Javier Vazquez pitched a fivehitter as the Florida Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Tuesday night. Petersen hit the first pitch from reliever Doug Slaten (0-2). The 35-year-old Vazquez (13-11) may have pitched the final game of his career as he is likely to retire at the end of the

the fourth straight for Tampa Bay. Russell Martin hit a solo homer for the Yankees, but also grounded into the triple play that helped Hellickson escape further damage after Nick Swisher’s RBI double gave New York a 3-2 lead in the sixth. The Yankees, who clinched the division title and homefield advantage throughout the AL playoffs last week, rested Derek Jeter and plan to play most — if not all — of their regular lineup again on Wednesday. Manager Joe Girardi remained undecided on a starting pitcher for the finale, but it figures to be a reliever. New York general manager Brian Cashman reiterated how nice it is to be in a position to not have to go down to the wire. “I’m not pulling for anybody. I

season. The Marlins also had only five hits. Nationals starter John Lannan went six innings and gave up two runs and three hits, striking out four. Twins 7, Royals 4

MINNEAPOLIS — Rene Tosoni hit a grand slam and Chris Parmelee also went deep to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 7-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Anthony Swarzak (4-7) gave up two runs on 10 hits with six strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings for the Twins (62-99), who are hoping to avoid becoming just the second team in franchise history to lose 100 games in a season. Sean O’Sullivan (2-6) gave up six runs on nine hits with one strikeout in five innings for the Royals. Johnny Giavotella had two doubles and a triple and Salvador Perez added two hits and an RBI for Kansas City. O’Sullivan gave up three straight singles to start the sixth before leaving. Tosoni hit Vin Mazzaro’s first pitch well into the right field seats for a 7-2 lead. White Sox 2, Blue Jays 1

CHICAGO — Mark Buehrle pitched seven shutout innings in possibly his final start for the White Sox and Tyler Flowers homered to lead Chicago to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The White Sox played their first game since Ozzie Guillen was released from his contract after Monday night’s victory over the Blue Jays. Pitching coach Don Cooper served as interim manager. Buehrle (13-9) allowed six hits, struck out six and walked none. He left to an ovation before throwing a pitch in the top of the eighth. Tigers 9, Indians 6

DETROIT — Wilson Betemit hit a 423-foot home run in his first game back from left knee soreness, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 9-6 on Tuesday night. Betemit hadn’t played since Sept. 16, and manager Jim Leyland said Monday he was concerned about the third baseman. But Betemit was in the lineup Tuesday, and he gave AL Central champion Detroit a 4-0 lead in the second inning with the towering homer to right field. Reds 5, Mets 4, 13 innings

NEW YORK — Jose Reyes hit two solo home runs, putting pop into his bid for the NL batting title, but the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 5-4 on Tuesday night on Drew Stubbs’ squeeze bunt in the 13th inning. know I’m glad that we were able to do what we did,” Cashman said. “I know that both parties involved, Boston and Tampa Bay, are having sleepless nights. They’re hungry. Rather than have to live to through it, I think both want to fast forward it to see what happens. I’ve been there.” Zobrist has homered five times in his last 10 games after going 39 games without hitting one. Martin’s solo homer trimmed the early lead to 2-1, and the Yankees tied it in the fourth when Brett Gardner, who had singled, scored from third as Curtis Granderson grounded into a double play. New York wasted a couple of opportunities to take charge against Hellickson, who allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. Mark Teixeira flied to right field with the bases loaded to end the third, and the Yankees also failed to score with the bases filled in the sixth, when Martin ground into a 5-4-3 triple play. After Swisher’s RBI double,

Jorge Posada drew an intentional walk to load the bases against Hellickson with no outs. The rookie escaped the jam when Martin hit a sharp grounder to third baseman Evan Longoria, who stepped on the bag and threw to second baseman Zobrist for the second out. Zobrist’s relay to first arrived ahead of Martin, who dived head first into the base. Colon allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. Girardi used four relievers — Soriano, Cory Wade, David Robertson and Mariano Rivera — in their final tuneup for the playoffs. NOTES: Rays DH Johnny Damon singled in the second inning, moving past Lou Gehrig into sole possession of 57th place on the career hits list with 2,722. .. Tampa Bay and Boston both are trying to become the first team to start a season 0-6 and make the playoffs. ... Cashman flew to Florida to take part in a postseason organizational meeting with Girardi and his coaching staff.

ting his first two major league homers after being thrust into the lineup because of injuries to catchers Jarrod Saltalamacchia (sore collarbone) and Jason Varitek (knee). Lavarnway, a Yale philosophy major who never played a big league game before August, hit a three-run drive in the fourth inning and added a solo shot for an 8-4 lead in the eighth. Jacoby Ellsbury and Marco Scutaro also connected for Boston, which scored all its runs on home runs. Alfredo Aceves (10-2) pitched 3 2-3 innings of three-hit relief for the Red Sox, who survived homers from Baltimore’s Matt Wieters and Adam Jones. After the Orioles scored twice in the eighth off Daniel Bard to make it 8-6, Jonathan Papelbon survived a hectic ninth for his

31st save. Wieters drove in a run with a grounder and Baltimore had the potential tying run at second with two outs before Jones grounded out on a 3-2 pitch. Pitching at Camden Yards for the first time since being traded by Baltimore to Seattle in February 2008, Boston starter Erik Bedard gave up three runs and five hits in 3 1-3 innings. The left-hander struck out six but needed 84 pitches to get 10 outs. Bedard retired the first two batters without difficulty, then walked Nick Markakis and yielded an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero to fall behind 1-0. Boston took the lead in the third against rookie Zach Britton (11-11) when Scutaro hit a two-out double and Ellsbury followed with his 32nd homer. Ellsbury has hit in 35 straight games against the Orioles, a streak that began on April 17, 2009. Lavarnway connected on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth following sin-

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L Sept. 28 1919 — In the shortest nine-inning game in major league history, 51 minutes, the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1. 1920 — A grand jury indicted eight members of the Chicago White Sox on charges of fixing the 1919 World Series in the “Black Sox Scandal.” 1938 — Gabby Hartnett hit his famous “Homer in the Gloamin’” in the ninth inning against Mace Brown to give the Chicago Cubs a 6-5 victory, their ninth straight, at Wrigley Field. It was a key triumph en route to the Cubs’ NL pennant.

gles by David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez. Wieters answered in the bottom half with his 22nd home run, the second in two nights, to make it 5-3. A triple by Carl Crawford and Scutaro’s homer off Jason Berken made it 7-3 in the sixth. Jones led off the bottom half with a homer off Aceves. NOTES: Boston’s Jed Lowrie started in the cleanup spot for the first time in his career. He went 0 for 5 with two strikeouts. ... Saltalamacchia was available if needed. Before the game he said, “I feel good, I feel like I can perform, but if it takes today to be 100 percent tomorrow, then that’s what we’ll do.” ... Boston manager Terry Francona said RHP Clay Buchholz, who’s on the 60-day DL with a back strain, could find his way onto the postseason roster. ... For the second time in two nights, play was interrupted when a fan ran onto the field. ... Boston starters have a 7.28 ERA in September. ... Alfredo Simon will pitch Wednesday for the Orioles.

Colts bring Jets’ Sanchez will worry about broken nose after season back QB Orlovsky The Associated Press

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts needed a quarterback with knowledge of their offense. Dan Orlovsky needed a job. On Tuesday, Orlovsky rejoined Indianapolis — the team he spent training camp with this summer. A person familiar with the deal confirmed the signing Tuesday night, but requested anonymity because the Colts had not yet announced the move. Injuries forced the Colts (0-3) to add depth at quarterback before Monday night’s game at Tampa Bay. Four-time league MVP Peyton Manning has missed the first three games after having neck surgery Sept. 8. The recovery was expected to take at least two months and could keep him out the entire season, though the Colts are hoping he will return to practice in December. Manning’s replacement, Kerry Collins, missed some practice time last week with a sore throwing shoulder and left Sunday night’s game against Pittsburgh with concussion-like symptoms. Team officials have not yet said whether he was diagnosed with a concussion and there are questions about whether he’ll be able to play this week. The only other active quarterback on the roster is three-year veteran Curtis Painter, who beat out Orlovsky as the No. 3 quarterback. Indy’s backup quarterback is punter Pat McAfee, and team vice chairman Bill Polian told listeners to his weekly radio show Monday night that the Colts would not go into this week’s game with only Painter and McAfee. “Kerry is feeling better today (Monday),” Polian said. “He has to go through a workout protocol, and we know more later in the week. With Kerry a little dinged up we probably would not use Pat in that role (as the backup), we probably would use someone else.” That would be Orlovsky, who was released in the Colts’ final cutdown in September. He was 25 of 54 for 386 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions during the preseason. He also was sacked five times.

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is shown playing against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday in Oakland, Calif.

NEW YORK — Mark Sanchez has no concerns about his broken nose — even if it means a few less magazine covers for now. The Jets quarterback and recent GQ cover boy suffered what the team called a “minor break” in his nose Sunday, but he has already been cleared to practice this week without limitations and play in New York’s next game at Baltimore. “It feels a lot better now, and we’ll just worry about it after the season,” Sanchez said Tuesday during his weekly radio appearance on 1050 ESPN Radio. “It’s no big deal.” It was the first time Sanchez broke his nose and said it “felt

weird for a little bit.” He was hit in the face on a sack by Oakland’s Kamerion Wimbley in the third quarter, had his nose reset on the sideline and finished by wearing a visor on his helmet, something he’ll do for at least the next few games. “We’ll take it game by game,” Sanchez said. “We play in the elements out here, so I don’t know how well a visor holds up. I’ve never even thought about wearing a visor before. We’ll take it game by game, but I’m not worried about it either way.” He’s also not concerned about the cosmetic ramifications of the injury, even after appearing on the cover of the September issue of GQ. The magazine included several photos of the bare-chest-

ed quarterback, who was razzed by his teammates and other players around the league. “I mean, if it’s a cosmetic thing, I don’t really care,” Sanchez said. “I’ll break my nose every game as long as we’re going to win. I don’t care about that. It’s not a big deal.” Sanchez also stood up for his coach after Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath suggested during a radio interview that Rex Ryan is making his team overconfident, which helped lead to its loss Sunday at Oakland. Ryan said Monday that he wouldn’t change who is because of Namath’s opinion, and added that the former Jets star “doesn’t know our team. He’s on the outside.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know a little bit about each other and Paul is a real smart player. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be on the same side now,â&#x20AC;? he said. For Barton, 24, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nice to just be back on the ice after a disappointing finish to his stellar college career. After not missing a game during his four-year college career, Barton suffered a hip injury in the Hockey East playoffs and missed the semifinals. It was only the second time in school history that Merrimack made it that far and Barton could do nothing but watch as his team beat Thompson and New Hampshire to advance to the finals, where they lost to Boston College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time I got hurt in four years and it was very tough to sit in the press box and watch,â&#x20AC;? Barton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fell short and I wish I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped them out.â&#x20AC;? Still, Barton concluded his col-

LIONS Continued from Page 1B

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about he can start working out on Thursday. â&#x20AC;Ś Even though they may let him go Thursday, they tested him again for a concussion (Monday). And a lot of that is medical stuff that probably oughta come from the doctors and the trainers, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerves involved and some different things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the underlying fact is that Lynn is not anywhere near as severe as we were scared to death of.â&#x20AC;? Paterno was reluctant to set a timetable for Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to game action, as he continues to be evaluated by doctors. Senior Chaz Powell and junior Stephon Morris are expected to start at cornerback against the Hoosiers. True freshman Adrian Amos will also play some snaps and sophomore safety Malcolm Willis could also see significant time

lege career posting an impressive 48 goals and 119 points in 141 games. He did get a brief taste of the AHL at the end of last season, suiting up for a game with Bridgeport. Now, Barton is hoping to impress the Penguins enough for a longer stay by being productive on and off the ice. During his college career, the Calgary native was involved with numerous charities and community groups, including the Wounded Warriors program that works with wounded veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to do things to help those guys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the easy stuff we can do to give back to them,â&#x20AC;? Barton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that stuff goes a long way.â&#x20AC;? That includes catching the eye of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coach John Hynes, who regularly preaches the importance of developing both on the ice and away from it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris comes from a great background with not only his playing ability but the type of person he is,â&#x20AC;? Hynes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we want in our organization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; guys that are good players with good character off the ice. That

translates into having good teams.â&#x20AC;? NOTES: During Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice players participated in a 20 minute scrimmage. Alex Grant and Ben Street scored goals for the White team, while Geoff Walker tallied the only goal for the Black squad. â&#x20AC;˘ The intensity level was raised a bit during practice as the Penguins prepare for their first exhibition game tonight in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., against the Adirondack Phantoms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, when your third drill is a two-on-two battle drill, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training camp time,â&#x20AC;? forward Bryan Lerg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach (John) Hynes is stressing that and everyone is playing hard.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Hynes said the lineup for tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will consist of mainly players trying out for the team. The lineup will change, obviously, when the Penguins play three exhibition games in three days beginning at home this Friday against Hershey. The remainder of the preseason features a game at Hershey on Saturday and a home game Sunday against the Phantoms.

out of the nickel on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have three kids ready,â&#x20AC;? Paterno said of his cornerbacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have Lynn, because Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in a lot of big games and Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the experience as opposed to sticking a freshman in there â&#x20AC;Ś (for) Big Ten games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we are. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate that we have a couple of these younger kids that can step in.â&#x20AC;? Mauti, meanwhile, is poised to slip into the role of de facto assistant linebackers coach that Sean Lee occupied in 2008. As a true freshman that season, Mauti got plenty of coaching from Lee, who had torn an ACL in preseason camp and spent the entire year on the sideline with a headset.

The Lions will, however, return Mike Farrell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top reserve at tackle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after he missed three games with a sprained knee. Curtis Drakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status remains difficult to predict. The wideout made his first catch since the end of the 2009 season last Saturday against Eastern Michigan, but his leg continues to bother him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring him along so that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jeopardize his future, and yet keep him close enough so that when he feels really well, he can go in there and be a factor in the football game,â&#x20AC;? Paterno said.

Infirmary report Elsewhere on the team, backup tailback Brandon Beachum will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury he suffered last week in practice.

The song remains the same For the fifth straight Tuesday, Paterno would not commit to a starting quarterback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we talk right now, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna start,â&#x20AC;? Paterno said. Both Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin are expected to rotate drives in some fashion throughout the game.

CMYK Bernanke speaks

How weak was manufacturing?

Any insights on Greece?

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will give a speech at the Cleveland Clinic. His appearance comes a week after the Fed said it would sell shortterm Treasurys and buy longterm ones to try to stimulate the economy. He’ll give his speech after the close of stock trading. If Bernanke has any more insights about where the economy is headed, his remarks may have an impact on financial markets on Thursday.

Orders for durable goods like planes, cars and computers tend to fluctuate sharply from one month to the next. But economists still look at the Commerce Department’s monthly report on durable goods for a sense of how manufacturing is doing. We’ve already had several reports that manufacturing weakened further during August. The durable goods report is expected to echo that assessment.

Investors in the U.S. are likely to pay attention to a speech today from Yves Mersch, the head of Luxembourg’s central bank. Mersch is also a member of the European Central Bank’s governing council, so investors will be listening for any news he can offer about negotiations to help Greece avoid default on its debts next month. And any information he has about the European economy in general.

Survey: Health insurance surges in 2011 By TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — The cost of employer-sponsored health insurance surged this year, snapping a trend toward moderate growth, but experts say these increases may slow again in 2012. Annual premiums for family coverage climbed 9 percent and surpassed $15,000 for the first time, according to a report

released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. Premiums for single coverage rose 8 percent compared to 2010. That compares to increases last year of 3 and 5 percent for family and single coverage, respectively. The study shows that premiums for family and single coverage have more than doubled since 2001, while

worker wages have risen 34 percent. Kaiser CEO Drew Altman said a number of factors may have played a role in this year’s jump. He noted health care costs continue to rise, and insurer profits and the health care overhaul also have some impact. Kaiser said initial provisions of the new health care law contributed between 1 and 2 per-

centage points to this year’s premium hikes, which is about what many insurance analysts and benefits experts expected. Companies and workers split premiums for employersponsored coverage, the most common form of health insurance in the United States, and employers generally pick up 70 percent of the bill or more. Businesses likely reacted to these cost increases by giving a

smaller raise or no wage increase to their workers, said Helen Darling, CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit organization that represents large employers on health care issues. “(Workers) basically are giving their pay raise to the health system,” said Darling, who was not involved with the Kaiser study. “It’s really bad news.”

Best Buy will hire about half as many seasonal staff as last year and increase the hours its regular staffers work as part of its plans for the crucial upcoming holiday season. The largest U.S. electronics retailer also plans to expand services like free tech support and a longer window for product returns during the holidays. It will also promote under-$100 deals to coax shoppers into its stores.

Third day of stock gains

Stocks closed higher Tuesday for the third day in a row on hopes that European leaders are moving closer to a plan to contain that region’s debt crisis. Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel said her country would do whatever it could to help Greece. Greece’s finance minister also said that country would receive the next round of bailout loans in time to avoid default.

Coal country blues

Appalachia facing steep drop in mining activity By DYLAN LOVAN Associated Press

ARRETT, Ky. — When business screeched to a halt at Jerry Howard’s eastern Kentucky mine engineering company two years ago, he decided to call it quits after four decades in the coal industry. “We were sort of forced out,” Howard says of the former company, Walturn, where he was part owner. Business owners like Howard, politicians and miners in the hilly coalfields of Central Appalachia blame the industry decline on tougher regulation from the Obama administration. They aren’t as ready to talk about something a change in administrations cannot fix. The region’s thick, easy-to-reach seams of coal are running out, forcing many operators to shift to cheaper and more destructive mining methods that draw heavier environmental regulation. Coal here is getting harder and costlier to dig — and the region, which includes southern West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, is headed for a huge collapse in coal production.

“The seams of coal that are left in this area are harder and harder to mine, and they’re thinner and thinner and thinner.” Leonard Fleming a retired Kentucky miner

“The seams of coal that are left in this area are harder and harder to mine, and they’re thinner and thinner and thinner,” said Leonard Fleming, a retired Kentucky miner and union leader in Letcher County who worked in the industry for 32 years. The Energy Department’s statistical agency, the Energy Information Administration, says production is expected to drop to 112 million tons by 2015, less than half of the 234 million tons mined three years ago. A collapse of that magnitude would devastate the economies in eastern

Kentucky and southern West Virginia, which produce about 90 percent of Central Appalachian coal. There were about 37,000 coal industry employees in Central Appalachia in 2008, accounting for anywhere from 1 to 40 percent of the labor force in individual counties, according to a report by Downstream Strategies, a consulting firm in Morgantown, W.Va. The report blames the decline on the region’s depleted reserves, environmental regulations as well as competition from regions that have lower operating costs. “We are going to see declines in labor and jobs, and it’s going to happen rapidly” in West Virginia, said Rory McIlmoil, who helped draft the report. McIlmoil said that state is expected to see a decline of over $100 million in the taxes coal operators pay to mine in the state. Industry supporters and political leaders from the coalfields have taken aim at the Environmental Protection Agency under Obama, saying its tough stance on a surface mining method known as mountaintop removal is stifling production and eliminating jobs.

Toys to collect on wish list By MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Most children love to collect things, and this year toy makers are banking on it. Taking a cue from last year’s toy hits, many of this year’s holiday offerings are toy sets or figures that kids can collect. But unlike last year, when Squinkies figures or Cepia’s toy hamster Zhu Zhu pets mostly were collect by girls, this year’s collectible toys are targeting boys. Among this year’s collectibles are Hasbro’s Beyblade Metal Fusion, a battling spinning top game for $5.99 to $39.99; Spin Master’s Redakai, a trading card game, for $5.99 to $19.99; Cepia’s DaGeDar collectible rolling balls for $4.99 to $19.99; and Lego’s Ninjago construction sets for $3.49 to $119.99. Jim Silver, an analyst at Time to Play Magazine, which offers an influential list of hot toys each year, says the wide price range of the collectible toys is important since many families are remaining cautious in their spending because of worries about the global economy. At the same time, he says, toy makers want to be able to offer more expensive toys to parents who can afford it “Take Ninjago, they have $100 sets, but basic sets start at under $10,” Silver said. “It’s important affordable for all families.”

Consumers earned, spent less in 2010, government report says By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Consumers earned less and spent less for a second straight year in 2010. The government report released Tuesday offered a deeper look at how Americans have adjusted their spending after the worst recession since the Great Depression. People spent less last year on food, cut back on entertain-

ment and eating out at restaurants and gave less to charity. At the same time, they paid more for gas and health care — trends that have continued this year. Total spending by consumers fell 2 percent last year, according to the Labor Department’s annual survey of consumer behavior. It’s only the second decrease since the government began the survey in

1984. The first came in 2009. Incomes declined 0.6 percent in 2010, after a 1.1 percent drop in 2009. This year, consumer spending and income have increased only modestly. High unemployment, meager pay increases and a spike in gas prices have slowed both. Weak consumer spending has held back the overall economy, which barely grew in the

first half of the year. Economists had hoped a Social Security tax cut would boost spending this year. It gave most families an extra $1,000 to $2,000 in take-home pay. However, that gain was offset by a sharp spike in global oil prices, which drove gasoline prices higher beginning in January. The average price for a gallon of gas peaked in early May

at nearly $4 — almost a dollar more than the price per gallon at the beginning of the year. Average household income before taxes fell to $62,481 in 2010, according to the report. That’s down from $62,857 in 2009 and $63,563 in 2008. Average annual expenditures dropped to $48,109. The average American household spent $49,067 in 2009 and $50,486 in 2008.

I've now measured 13.3 inches of rain so far this month, and since August 1 I've collected nearly 24 inches of rain, roughly six months worth of rain in just two months. Again today, due to the proximity of a stalled storm, the atmosphere will be ripe for producing more showers and downpours that will last into tonight. Conditions will improve a bit tomorrow and then on Friday cooler temperatures will start to invade ahead of a cold wave that'll bring an eyebrow-raising change in temperature here this weekend. The heavy rain last night brings this year into the top 3 wettest on record.

VANDERLYN’S RESTAURANT

Beef goulash crowd-pleaser on game day I LOVE COOKING for my family, especially when we all get together on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Chicago Bears play football. I know there are some big appetites to fill, and yes, I am a Bears fan. After the normal snacks, we enjoy a big helping of my Beef Goulash. This recipe yields about two gallons, so I usually make it the day before the game. Aren’t some things always better the second day anyway? •••

Ingredients CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

Nancy Brace of Brace’s Orchard in Dallas said honeycrisps are the most popular type of apple this time of year. Brace’s, a family-owned and -operated farm since 1826, offers everything from apple salsa to apple dumplings and cider.

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

he apple. A simple fruit, easily recognizable and most often thought of as a tasty rite of fall. For some local orchards the apple is much more than a lunchtime snack or pie ingredient; it’s a way of life. “It’s so special for us to see kids come here and be in awe of a ride through the orchard,” Nancy Brace of Brace’s Orchard in Dallas said. “We had a little boy that was shaking when he got off the wagon, he was so excited. He’d never seen an apple on a tree before.” Not only do the wagon rides offer people a chance to pick their own apples and indulge in cider, they educate the riders on the various apples found in the orchard. Brace’s grows 35 varieties of apples, starting in August. There are summer, fall and winter apples. Right now fall apples are in the height of the season, the most popular being the honeycrisp.

“It’s the perfect apple for eating,” Brace said. “It’s got a very sweet taste.” As far as baking is concerned, Brace points to Cortland apples as the go-to fruit. “They tend to hold their shape a bit more, and they’re the only apple that stays white.” While McIntoshes also can be used for cooking, Brace said they tend to go the way of applesauce consistency when cooked down and that it’s a taste preference when using them. Ruth Heller, of Heller’s Orchards in Wapwallopen, an orchard that grows 20 different kinds of apples, said the Empire apple, a cross between a McIntosh and Red apple, is ideal for baking. “Texture-wise, they don’t fall apart,” she said. For candy apples, Heller said, Red Delicious, Empire, Gala (all semi-sweet) and McIntosh (a bit more tart) are ideal. Other apple varieties include red delicious, another favorite with a sweet-tart crisp, thick, bitter skin and strong flavor (not

CELEBRATE APPLES

suitable for baking) and golden delicious apples, with a thin skin and juicy texture (and fine for baking). One of the most common ways to think of an apple is in its liquid form, or apple cider, a drink easily equated with fall. Heller’s Orchard has a fall festival each year, and cider is a big selling point. “We make 1,500 gallons just for the festival,” Heller said. “We also make about 500 gallons a week.” The cider is not pasteurized, which both Heller’s and Brace’s said people appreciate. “They want something natural,” Heller said. Brace said the orchard uses “flash pasteurization” to make cider, which means heating it for six seconds to kill any e-coli. “The main thing is that we don’t put preservatives in,” Brace said. “We think it makes the flavor much better.” In the months to come more apple varieties will be picked. “These are the apples that will stay longer,” Brace said, “because they take longer to grow.”

In coming weeks, you can celebrate apples in all their glory at a number of applecentric parties, including: • APPLE FESTIVAL: the 23rd annual event to benefit St. Peter’s and St. John’s churches. With old-time activities and entertainment. Where: Heller Orchards, Route 239, Wapwallopen When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 15 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 16 More info: 379-3516. ••• APPLE HARVEST FESTIVAL: with a flea market, book sale, silent auction, food and apple pie a la mode Where: First United Methodist Church, 408 Wyoming Ave., West Pittston. When: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 29 More info: 655-1083 ••• WAGON RIDES, CIDER, CIDER DOUGHNUTS AND MORE Where: Brace’s Orchards, 444 Brace Road, Dallas Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Sunday More info: 570-333-4236

4 onions, diced 2 carrots, diced 1 tablespoon garlic, diced 1 tablespoon roasted red peppers, diced 5 pounds ground beef 6 pounds whole peeled tomatoes 4 tablespoons Hungarian paprika 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds 3 teaspoons oregano 1/4 teaspoon marjoram 3 ounces all-purpose flour 1 dash Tabasco Sauce Salt and pepper 2 ounces olive oil Chicken stock, as needed Cheddar cheese, as needed Sour cream, as needed ••• Method of Preparation Heat olive oil in a suitable stock or sauce pot. Add onions, carrots and garlic and cook until vegetables are translucent. Add the ground beef and cook thoroughly. Depending on the grade of beef used, you may want to strain off any grease from the top. Add flour and cook for two more minutes. Add whole peeled tomatoes including the liquid. Add roasted red peppers and remaining seasonings (except salt & pepper). Simmer for 20-30 minutes. You may use chicken broth to achieve your desired consistency. Add final seasonings of salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a bowl and garnish with sour cream or my personal favorite: shredded cheddar cheese (and lots of it!) If this recipe is too big for you to handle, feel free to call us at Vanderlyn’s, at 283-6260, and we can let you know when we will be featuring this item. Enjoy!

Homemade butter a delectable family treat By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

For the best-tasting butter, buy the best-quality cream you can find.

Why go to the trouble of making butter at home? After all, that’s why they package it all up neat in little sticks for us at the grocery store. And yet, it is so worth doing. Homemade butter, simply put, is utterly amazing. Plus, it’s neither difficult nor expensive. The process even can double as entertainment for the kids. Butter is a pretty basic food, and so is the making of it. Cream is agitated until the liquid buttermilk separates from the solid fats. The fats are the butter. That’s it. And there are plenty of ways to agitate cream. The most basic is to fill a jar about half full with cream. Tightly screw a lid onto the jar (canning jars are ideal), then shake vigorously. First it will slosh, then it will seem to turn solid (at which point it’s essen-

tially whipped cream), then it will form a lump of butter in liquid. While simple, this method is tiring. You’ll be shaking that jar for a solid five or more minutes. It’s a good project for the kids. But to make butter to serve, it’s better to use either an electric mixer or food processor. It’s faster and far less tiring. For the best-tasting butter, buy the best quality cream you can find. Keep in mind that the amount of cream you use will make roughly half as much butter. So a quart of cream will make about 1 pound of butter. After you’ve made the butter, pour off the buttermilk and add it to your pancakes, muffins or other baked goods. It also makes a great base for salad dressings. •••

HOMEMADE BUTTER Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 1 pound butter 1 quart heavy cream, left at room temperature for 30 minutes Salt, optional To use the food processor, pour the cream into the bowl fitted with either the plastic or metal blade. Process on high. To use an electric mixer, pour the cream into the bowl and beat with the wire whip attachment. Use a deep bowl with a splatter guard if available. Regardless of the method used, the cream will go through the same stages. At first the cream will thicken and be whipped into soft peaks, then firm peaks. Then the cream will begin to get grainy. Finally a liquid will be released so that you have lumps of fat in a milky colored liquid. The entire process should take 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the method used. Rest a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and strain out the buttermilk. Reserve for another recipe. Place the butter in a bowl

and knead with your hand to squeeze out any more buttermilk. It may seem odd to knead butter, but it will hold together and kneads easily. You can use the butter immediately or refrigerate it for later. If storing for later, you’ll want to “wash” the butter. This helps remove even more buttermilk from the butter so it doesn’t sour. Add 1/2 cup of ice water to the butter in the bowl. Continue kneading the butter in the ice water. Pour off the milky liquid. Repeat the ice water wash and kneading process until the liquid remains clear. If you’d like to keep unsalted butter (such as for baking), wrap the butter in parchment paper and then plastic wrap and refrigerate for two weeks or freeze for six months. Otherwise add salt, to taste, then wrap in parchment and plastic wrap. It also can be stored in an airtight container. This is also a good point to add other flavorings, if desired, such as honey and cinnamon for toast and pancakes, or herbs and garlic for bread or meat.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 PAGE 5C

Mom and daughter disagree on whether a man should pay on dates Dear Abby: My mother and I had a debate about who should pay for dates. She thinks the man should pay, especially if sex is involved because “you don’t want to give it away for free.” I disagree. I say the man should pay for the first, and maybe the second date. After that, they can agree to alternate. I have been seeing a wonderful guy for about six months. I’m pretty sure I make more money than he does, but even if I didn’t, I don’t feel the need to be supported. I don’t agree the guy should always have to pay. Times have changed since my mother dated. What’s the general consensus on the

DEAR ABBY ADVICE subject these days? — Independent Woman in Maryland Dear Independent: The consensus is that you’re right. Times HAVE changed since your mother dated, and furthermore, paying for a date does not give the payer any guarantee of sexual favors. While in some regions, cultures and age groups there may be the expectation that the man pays, in today’s world many women expect to pay their fair share after the first couple of dates. In other words, it’s COMMON to split a check or share the cost of an

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

evening’s dinner and entertainment. The idea that a woman should put out for the price of a burger is, thankfully, passe. And that’s for the best, don’t you agree? Dear Abby: I have known “Arthur” for more than 20 years. Since Day One, he has wanted more than friendship, but I made it clear that I never wanted more than a platonic relationship. I care about him, but have never had romantic feelings for him. We spend a lot of time together between relationships with other people. (I was married for eight years out of our 20-year friendship.) Arthur comes over — we hang out, sometimes share a meal or watch a movie, etc. Then we go to sleep in my bed. He SLEEPS in my bed, where

CRYPTOQUOTE

there’s no hanky-panky. I’m content with things as they are. He makes me laugh and I feel good about myself. However, lately I sense he’s becoming too attached. I worry that I might be leading him on even though I’ve made it clear that I don’t want anything romantic or sexual. After 20 years, there are no gray areas left to analyze my intentions. My friends think what I’m doing is wrong, that I might be keeping Arthur from moving forward in his life. Keep in mind that I encourage him to go out with friends and to date. AM I doing anything wrong that may be hurting him in an indirect way? — Platonically Connected in Texas Dear Platonically Connected: You are happy the way things are. Arthur

appears to have accepted the relationship on your terms. While he may secretly hope that one morning you will roll over, open your eyes and realize that he’s Prince Charming, you have been honest with him from the beginning. I see no reason to end a relationship that is rewarding to both of you because your friends are meddling. Your friends should mind their own business.

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.)
