PLAINS TWP. – The Social Security Administration Thursday issued a response to claims of a local businessman who contended the federal agency’s delay in allowing him to clean out his floodravaged building where SSA records were stored resulted in mold growth, making the building toxic. “These paper records contained the names, Social Security numbers and other personal information of people who were receiving or had applied for Social Security benefits,” said Kia S. Green at the SSA National Press Office. “Social Security could not allow just any contractor inside to review or remove this material. SSA and GSA worked with the building owner to determine an

the 230,300-square-foot building has caused mold to form in the space leased to the General Services Administration and it will take millions of dollars to remediate it. GSA leases 130,000 square feet of the building to store records for SSA, Bell said. The water-damaged records were removed by Royal Plus Disaster Kleenup Inc. based in Maryland, the company hired by SSA. Bell said there were 280,000 boxes of SSA records kept in the building; 80,000 boxes of records sustained water damage. “When the flood waters receded, SSA and GSA assessed the safety and condition of the building,” SSA’s Green said. “SSA also took immediate steps to ensure the security of the records within the building. SSA is also taking steps to ensure that the records housed in the building remain se-

but the SSA security guards arrived on Sept. 15. Bell said he was told not to enter the SSA-leased space. Bell hired First General Services to clean up the other sections of the building. He said that cleanup has gone well, with no mold found. Bell said there are extensive rules and regulations to remediate mold and the process is extremely costly, possible into the millions of dollars. Flood insurance will cover Bell’s cleanup, but not the additional damage and mold remediation. Bell had an industrial hygienist from Quad Three Group assess the building last week and was told that since the building was dark and damp for an extended period of time, the conditions were “a perfect recipe for mold growth.”

Former Bishop Hafey sale cost set Public input sought on possible purchase by Hazleton Area district. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – Hazleton Area School District has negotiated a tentative price for the purchase of the former Bishop Hafey High School from the Diocese of Scranton and has scheduled a state-mandated meeting for public comment on the deal. Coupled with the purchase of a Butler Township property, the move may allow the district to eliminate the use of 24 trailer classrooms, Acting Superintendent Francis Antonelli said. A PlanCon C meeting is set for 6 p.m. Oct 6 at

the Hazleton Area Career Center. PlanCon is a multi-step system the district must follow to get state reimbursement for the project. Diocese of Scranton spokesman Bill Genello said he couldn’t comment because negotiations are ongoing. Antonelli said he could not give the price until it is finalized. The diocese built Bishop Hafey in 1972 and closed it in 2007 as part of massive restructuring of the diocesan school system by thenBishop Joseph Martino. Hafey was reopened as an elementary school, but enrollment was less than one-third the roughly 800-student capacity, and earlier this year the diocese decided to relocate the students

to the smaller former St. Joseph School closed years earlier. Antonelli said plans for the building are not set, but the Hazleton Area district still needs room for a rapidly growing population. “About 270 new students have enrolled since the start of this year alone,” Antonelli said. Options include moving ninth-grade students from the nearby ninth-grade center and converting that school to an elementary/middle school, or to move high school students into the former Hafey building. Antonelli noted the district is also in the process of buying a building in the Can Do Corporate Center in Butler Township, which

could house about 650 students. Combined with the Hafey property, that would allow the district to eliminate 24 trailer classrooms peppered throughout the district and holding roughly 600 students. The two purchases would also take pressure off all district buildings, at least for the moment, Antonelli said, meeting current needs. “As of today, absolutely,” Antonelli said, noting the district continues to grow at a record rate, hitting 10,700 student this year. Those who want to speak at the public meeting can contact Antonelli’s office until noon, Oct. 5, to be put on the list. The meeting will also include time for additional comments.

Area tech school explains disputed hiring Christine Menichini challenged utive session and emerged to insist the hiring was legal. the employment of a woman The state Department of Eduwithout her certification. cation confirmed Menichini’s By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – State records back up claims by a woman who said she was certified for a job given to an uncertified applicant at Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center. But the center’s administrative director said it’s a complicated issue and the hiring was legitimate. When the Joint Operating Committee that runs the center voted last week to hire Michelle Egidio-Oko as a cosmetology instructor, Christine Menichini told the board she had applied and had proper state certification that Egidio-Oko lacked. She asked how the JOC could hire someone who would need emergency certification when the state school code generally only grants that option when no certified person is available. The committee went into exec-

contention regarding certifications. Spokesman Timothy Eller said Menichini has “Vocational Instructional Level I in Cosmetology” certification, effective Feb. 2, 2006, while there is no record of state certifications for EgidioOko. Asked about the discrepancy, Administrative Director Peter Halesey said Egidio-Oko is licensed in cosmetology by the state and is qualified to teach. He said she does not have a Vocational Instructional Level I certification, but she can teach while doing the college work needed to get one. Cosmetology licenses are issued by the Department of State, not the Department of Education, which is why the latter had no record of certifications for Egidio-Oko. The Department of Education issues two teaching certifications: Level I, which is temporary and cannot be renewed, and Level II, which is permanent. To advance from Level I to Level II, a

teacher must take a state-specified number of additional college courses within a set number of years. Otherwise, the Level I certification lapses. Halesey said it is common for teachers at a career and technology center to land a teaching job before earning their Level I and II certifications. He said qualified people with years of experience in a specific field may decide to teach but can’t afford to quit work and go back to school. They are allowed to teach while earning the teaching certificate because they already have on-the-job training. Those planning to teach academic subjects, on the other hand, typically get a degree in education and earn their teaching certificate essentially as a single process, then look for a teaching job. Halesey said he has applied for emergency certification for Egidio-Oko, even though the state had already given a green light to her getting the job. “I didn’t have to,” he said, “I’m just covering all the bases.”

Prisoner’s drug-related death investigated One jailed, 17 sought for failing to pay support By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A female inmate who died at a hospital after being found unresponsive at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in June died from a drug overdose, according to the Luzerne County Coroner’s office. Carrie Ann Costigan, 27, of WilkesBare, was found unresponsive on June 27 and was transported to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, where she died. The death was ruled an accidental drug overdose, the coroner’s office said Thursday. Costigan was jailed at the prison on a probation violation on a retail theft charge after she tested positive for heroin, according to court records.

Prison Warden Joseph Piazza said Costigan was admitted to the facility on the same day that she was found unresponsive. The prison is continuing to investigate how she obtained the drugs that led to the overdose. “She could have gotten them on the inside or she could have brought them in,” he said. Piazza said officials “have an idea” of what happened, but he could not disclose that information as the investigation is continuing. He stressed officials do not believe any prison guards played a role in supplying the drugs to Costigan. “I’m 100 percent sure that did not occur,” he said.

SCRANTON JAILBREAK

Michael Simonson had pleaded guilty in killing of Plymouth man

Guards suspended over escape

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – An internal investigation at Lackawanna County Prison after the escape of murderer Michael Simonson has resulted in the suspension of four employees. In a press conference Thursday, Lackawanna County Prison Warden Robert McMillan said he placed four security staff members on unpaid suspension. “An escape from Lackawanna County Prison is totally unacceptable, and I am incensed that inmate Simonson would be able to breach the secure perimeter of our prison,” he said. The prison, he said, will remain in lockdown while the investigation into the es-

cape continues. Simonson pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court last year to killing Donald Skiff of Plymouth in April 2009 and was sentenced to life in prison McMillan without parole. He was being held at the Lackawanna County Prison while he awaited trial on charges of attempted homicide in the beating of inmate Nicholas Pinto in the Lackawanna County Prison on Aug. 8, 2010. The affidavit says Simonson was left unsupervised in an exercise yard at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, accord-

ing to an affidavit obtained Thursday. Twenty-four minutes later, the admitted murderer who was considered an escape risk was standing on a roof adjacent to the correctional facility. The affidavit says the 34-year-old murderer used a homemade stainless steel shank that he said he smuggled into the Lackawanna County Prison earlier this month to cut out a section of chain link fence. From there, he allegedly used a tightly braided bed sheet to separate a section of razor wire from a second fence, climbed into the prison’s sally port, and scaled a third fence before leaping over more razor wire, landing on the roof of the Medical Mall at 1360 Wyoming Ave.

Scranton police apprehended Simonson in the 100 block of Forest Court after Simonson allegedly carjacked a Pennsylvania American Water vehicle and later abandonedthatvehicleasitcrashedintoa car parked on North Washington Avenue. Simonson now is being held in a state correctional institution, but McMillan did not disclose where. Despite “numerous security precautions” in place, Simonson was allegedly left alone Wednesday afternoon for the one hour of daily exercise time he was allotted, the warden said. “Any individual found to have failed to performhisorherjobdutiesinpreventing this escape will be held accountable,” McMillan added.

Powell sentencing Nov. 4

An attorney who admitted paying kickbacks to two county judges as part of the “kids for cash” scandal will be sentenced in federal court on Nov. 4. Robert J. Powell, who formerly coowned the PA and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers, has admitted he paid $772,500 in kickbacks to former Luzerne County judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan out of fear they would stop sending juveniles to his detention facilities if he refused. He pleaded guilty in July 2009 to Powell failing to report a crime and being an accessory after the fact to tax evasion. Ciavarella, who was convicted of 12 charges related to the scandal, was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison. Conahan, who pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, was sentenced last week to 17 ½ years in prison for his role in the scheme. SCRANTON

Lackawanna gets $3 million

Gov. Tom Corbett sent a letter to Lackawanna County Commissioners on Wednesday announcing that a $3 million state reimbursement for the county’s courthouse renovation project has been approved and released. The funds come from the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Project, the same fund that will be tapped to help fund a portion of the $40 million PNC Field renovation project next year. The county intends to use the $3 million as part of its local match required to receive the $20 million state grant for the stadium work.

Tom Leighton says he’s seen a letter about an investigation, but has not received formal notice.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Mayor Tom Leighton said he was shown a copy of a letter that indicated the state Ethics Commission is investigating his practice of hiring family members for summer work. Leighton said the name of the person the letter was addressed to was blacked out. He said he did not know who filed the complaint. The two-term mayor seeking his third term in November said he has not received any notification from the Ethics Commission of a pending probe. Leighton came under fire earlier this year Leighton for hiring his daughter, niece and nephew to city summer positions. When the hirings became public, the three Leighton relatives resigned their positions. Leighton has hired his other children for similar jobs in the past. Former city towing contractor Bob Kadluboski said he did not file the complaint with the Ethics Commission. Former Democratic mayoral candidate and the city’s Crime Watch Coordinator Charlotte Raup said she did not file a complaint, either. Raup said she knows who did, but she would not reveal that person’s identity. Raup said complainants are bound by confidentiality and could be fined or imprisoned if they reveal information about an ethics probe. However, Robin Hittie, spokeswoman for the state Ethics Commission, said complainants and subjects are not bound by confidentiality and can reveal the information if they so desire. Hittie said a recent court case filed and won by activist Gene Stilp against the Ethics Commission removed the confidentiality of complainants and subjects. In that case – Gene Stilp vs. John J. Contino, Executive Director of the State Ethics Commission, in his official capacity only; and Thomas W. Corbett, Jr., Attorney General of Pennsylvania, in his official capacity only – the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that when Stilp publicly disclosed his filing of an Ethics Act complaint in November 2007, his disclosure was protected under the First Amendment. “If I get a letter I will disclose it,” Leighton said. “I don’t think this will adversely affect my candidacy. I think voters will look at my record and look at how the city has improved in the last seven-plus years since I’ve been mayor.” Leighton said he has never hidden the fact that he hired his children and other relatives for summer positions. “I was criticized because somebody said 4 percent of the summer hires were from my neighborhood in South WilkesBarre,” Leighton said. “That means 96 percent of those hires were from all other parts of the city. “It’s my understanding that whenever the Ethics Commission receives a complaint, they must look into it,” he said.

PLYMOUTH – Clyde Peters is looking for generous people to throw their money away. Well, at least a dollar. Peters, a Vietnam veteran, is chairing a drive to raise money for Toys for Tots. Peters calls the drive “Tacks for Toys for Tots.” He hopes more establishments follow the lead of Plymouth’s VFW Post 1425. The fundraising effort is novel, Peters said. People take a dollar bill – or a 5, 10, 20 or higher if desired – stick a tack through it, fold the bill and tape it. Then the donor flings the package to the ceiling, where it sticks in the ceiling block. So far, Peters, 61, said close to $200 has been raised and he expects more. “People throw money away all the time,” Peters said with a smile. “Now

they can throw it away for a great cause.” Founded in 1947, the Toys for Tots program is run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, which Peters donates toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. “We thought that the need this year will be bigger because of the recent flooding,” Peters said. Peters said the idea of sticking money in the ceiling came from a soldier who was visiting Plymouth from Philadelphia. “He told us that they do this all year round down there and give the money to various charities,” Peters said. “Our members love it. They’ve been throwing money up there like it’s going out of style.” Peters said the drive has been going on for about two weeks at the Plymouth VFW. Peters said the Plymouth VFW partic-

ipates in the Toys for Tots program every year. He expects to far exceed past donations. “We will take the money we raise and go and buy toys and deliver them to Toys for Tots,” Peters said. Peters, a U.S. Army veteran and the youngest of 17 children, knows about helping people. On Thanksgiving Day in 1968, Peters saved the life of a fellow soldier – Sam Pugh – who was hit in the chest by an enemy bullet. Peters threw him on his shoulder and headed to safety. While he was running with Pugh on his back, Peters was hit. Peters spearheaded the drive to erect a Vietnam Memorial in his hometown honoring seven young men from Plymouth who were killed in the war and all those who fought there. A couple years ago Peters traveled to Nashville, Tenn., in May, to reunite with men from his unit and he met Pugh and his wife and learned about Pugh’s children. Peters said the reunion was an emotional one. “It was great to see him again after 40 years,” Peters said of the visit.

Murray site owner awaits word on appeal of citations Fines have been levied against Daniel Siniawa over the state of a property on Pennsylvania Avenue. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Lackawanna County developer who has been fined $1,000 per day since July 12 will now wait to see if his appeal will be upheld. Representatives of Daniel Siniawa & Associates appeared before the city’s Board of Appeals Thursday to as that the $17,000 in fines levied in July be reduced or eliminated. The board will review the testimony offered and notify Siniawa of its decision via mail. The fines levied against Siniawa’s

property near Hazle Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue are a result of the city’s contention the developer is in violation of its Code of Ordinances. The city alleges “the site continues to be a nuisance property and in its current condition deemed unsafe and has been declared dangerous and unsafe.” The city has been fining the Murray complex developer $1,000 a day since July 12. Thursday’s hearing was an appeal of the fines levied from July 12-28. Robert Sakosky, Siniawa vice president, said the company has not been notified of fines since. Michael Simonson, the city’s assistant director of operations, said the site presents a danger to the public. Debris from the demolition of buildings on the site remains and is fenced in. Simonson said gates are often left

open, allowing access by the public and vehicles. Sakosky said a contractor hired to remove the debris left the job once all salvageable material was removed. Another contractor has been hired, but Sakosky said the site won’t be cleared until next year. Sakosky said he will make sure the gates are locked when nobody is working on the site. “I was at the site today and all gates were open and no work was being done,” Simonson said. “There were no vehicles and no action being taken.” Siniawa has said the state approved a $1.5 million grant for site development in 2008. The estimated $20 million project would include 55 loft-style condominiums, restaurants and 50,000-60,000 square feet of retail space.

WBRE-TV earned an Emmy award for its “Gas Rush: The Marcellus Shale Project” in the environment/science program or special category. The anchors for the broadcast were Drew Speier and Candice Kelly, the producer was Fred Vito and Jeremy Settle served as news director. The Emmy was announced during the 29th Annual Mid-Atlantic Region Emmy Awards held Saturday in Philadelphia. KINGSTON

LCTA bus accidents probed

Two recent accidents – one of them fatal – involving Luzerne County Transportation Authority buses remain under investigation, LCTA Executive Director Stan Strelish said on Wednesday. The state Public Utility Commission inspected the bus that backed over 86-year-old Edward Rehill of WilkesBarre at the James F. Conahan Intermodal Center on Sept. 22 and cleared it to return to service on Tuesday, Strelish said. The bus driver, Donna Smith, remains on paid leave. Wilkes-Barre city spokesman Drew McLaughlin said police are also still investigating a collision between an LCTA bus and an SUV at East Union and North Washington streets in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. He said police would not release the names of the drivers or any details until the investigation is complete. Since the incidents, the LCTA has welcomed three new board members: William Joseph of Mountain Top, Anthony Baldo of Laflin and Patrick Conway of Plains Township. They replace Antoinette Valenti, Dan McCormick and Dan Fraschella, whose terms expired. Rosemary Lombardo, of Wyoming, was reappointed to another five-year term. BUTLER TOWNSHIP

WASHINGTON

House passes stop-gap bill

WASHINGTON — Congress gave final approval Thursday to a stop-gap measure to fund the government and disaster aid for the next few days, averting for now the threat of a weekend government shutdown. The House approved the measure without opposition in a voice vote, which required only a few lawmakers to return from the Rosh Hashanah recess for the procedural step. The Senate agreed to the legislation this week. The legislation will fund the government beginning Saturday, start of the new fiscal year, through Tuesday. It will also replenish disaster accounts, which were about to run dry after the many natural disasters this year. Congress had again brought the nation to the brink of a shutdown in a dispute over federal budgets. Funding for disaster aid became a lightning rod, as Republicans insisted any additional aid for victims of the recent disasters be paid for with spending cuts elsewhere. Democrats refused this approach, leading to a days-long impasse. That ended once FEMA said it had enough aid to last through the week, relinquishing the need for supplemental funds this fiscal year. This week, the Senate passed a funding bill to keep the government and disaster aid running through Nov. 18. The House will return Tuesday to consider the broader measure.

SYRIAN UPRISING

A new Quinnipiac Poll says Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett’s job approval rating is on the rise. The poll out Thursday said the Republican had a 50 percent favorable rating, his best so far, thanks partly to stronger support among women. The poll says 62 percent of voters feel the economic boost from natural gas drilling outweighs the environmental problems, and 64 percent support imposing a tax on gas extraction. Voters are 2-to-1 in favor of privatizing the state liquor store system, but oppose privatizing state parks by a slightly wider margin. U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s job approval rating is 43 percent, basically level. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,370 voters over six days last week. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

U.S. believes Assad regime trying to intimidate American diplomats in country

Government backers pelt U.S. envoy By BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BEIRUT — Angry supporters of President Bashar Assad’s regime hurled tomatoes and eggs at the U.S. ambassador to Syria on Thursday as he entered the office of a leading opposition figure and then tried to break into the building, trapping him inside for three hours. The Obama administration blamed the Syrian government for the attack, saying it was part of an ongoing, orchestrated campaign to intimidate American diplomats in the country. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned the attack as “wholly unjustified.” Ambassador Robert Ford, an outspoken critic of Assad’s crackdown on the 6-month-old revolt against the regime, has angered Syrian authorities before by showing support for the uprising. The latest incident promises to raise tensions even

further. Ford came under attack by about 100 Assad supporters who hurled rocks at his convoy as he arrived for the meeting with Hassan Abdul-Azim, who heads the outlawed Arab Socialist Democratic Union party. Abdul-Azim is a strong critic of Assad’s regime and was briefly detained by authorities earlier this year. Such incidents are usually not spontaneous in Syria, and Thursday’s attack came amid high tension between the two nations, as well as accusations by Damascus that Washington is inciting violence in the country. The protesters were ready with eggs and tomatoes when the delegation arrived and threw them at the Americans as they entered the building. In Washington, the State Department said a rowdy, violent mob tried to attack Ford and

several American embassy workers in Damascus. Spokesman Mark Toner said Ford and his colleagues were unharmed and are now safe. However, several vehicles in the convoy transporting the

Americans were seriously damaged by the demonstrators, Toner said. Other department officials said the crowd pelted Ford’s motorcade with rocks as well as eggs and tomatoes. White House spokesman Jay

Carney called the attack “unwarranted and unjustifiable,” but said the U.S. had no plans to recall Ford from Damascus. Syria’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that as soon as it was contacted by the U.S. Embassy regarding Ford, it called in security authorities, who “took all measures needed to protect the ambassador and his team and secured their return to their work in accordance with Syria’s international commitments.” Speaking to The Associated Press while Ford was still trapped in his office, AbdulAzim said: “Now that security forces are here, I believe his life is not in danger.” Scores of angry Syrians stood outside the building ready to pelt Ford again if stepped outside. Smashed eggs could be seen at the entrance as several policemen guarded the gate.

Jackson’s doc told me to collect vials before making 911 call, bodyguard testifies

HARRISBURG

Poll: Ratings up for Corbett

Alberto Alvarez said at first he thought he was bagging the items in preparation for a trip to the hospital.

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — The first bodyguard to reach Michael Jackson’s bedroom after the singer’s doctor called for help testified Thursday that he was told by the physician to gather medicine vials before calling 911. Alberto Alvarez said Dr. Conrad Murray grabbed the vials from a nightstand next to Jackson, who was still in his bed.

“He said ‘Here, put these in a bag.”’ Alvarez said of Murray. Alvarez said at first he thought he was bagging the Murray items in preparation for a trip to the hospital. He said he trusted Murray because he was a doctor. “In my personal experience, I

believed Dr. Murray had the best intentions for Mr. Jackson,” Alvarez said. “I didn’t question his authority.” Deputy District Attorney David Walgren showed Alvarez and jurors a vial of propofol while the bodyguard was on the stand at the third day of Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial. Murray has pleaded not guilty. Jurors intently looked at the bottle, which appeared to still contain

some liquid. Prosecutors are calling key witnesses in an attempt to show Murray delayed calling authorities on the day the King of Pop was found lifeless and was intent on concealing indications that he had been giving the singer doses of the surgical anesthetic. Authorities accuse Murray of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom.

FLOODING Continued from Page 1A

teorologist Mike Nadolski, depositing 11.36 inches of rain. The previous record was 9.79 inches in 1999. And more rain is forecast through Sunday. Over the last few days, flash flooding in the county has affected areas from Harveys Lake to Hazleton, mostly causing damage to roads, but also forcing evacuations from homes, Bekanich said. Bekanich spent most of Tuesday in Butler Township, where about 40 homes were flooded or surrounded by water and the Germania and Hanover Township fire companies performed about 25 rapid-water rescues. Those rescued were brought to an American Red Cross shelter at the township community center, where some spent the night, said township manager Steve Hahn. Roads damaged Hahn said eight roads were closed in the township on Tuesday, including heavily traveled state Route 309, because of high water and then for cleanup. Township supervisors declared a local emergency Wednesday

morning so crews could work on cleanup and maintenance. “There was a lot of road edge erosion and damage, a lot of washout. … It might not seem like much, but it’s necessary to fix so that the roads aren’t undermined, and that’s costly. It’s probably easily hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs,” Hahn said. “That’s why we’re hoping this event is included with the declarations for Lee and Irene, so maybe we can seek some federal funding,” he said. FEMA spokesman Mike Sweet said municipalities can apply for public assistance for infrastructure repair under the Tropical Storm Lee Federal Disaster Declaration. Hahn said it seems that flash flooding is becoming a more frequent problem in the township. Township officials are working to arrange a town hall meeting with state Department of Environmental Protection officials and engineers from the Beech Mountain Lakes development because of rumors and suspicions that problems with the dam and lakes are contributing to flooding. Some rumors, such as one that flood gates at the dam added to flooding problems, are unfounded, Hahn said, noting that there

The Disaster Recovery Center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Road closures As of 2 p.m. Thursday, Luzerne County roads closed because of flash flooding problems include: • Eighth Street between Shoemaker Avenue in West Wyoming and Carverton Road in Kingston

too muddy to accommodate the market. The reopening has been moved to Oct. 9. Bekanich said the recent rains have pushed a predicted river crest for Friday up to 21 feet – just below the 22-foot natural flood stage – this morning. He doesn’t expect homes will be impacted by flooding, but recommended residents living near the river remain alert to river levels.

Saturation point A major contributor to flooding is that the rain water has nowhere to go because the ground has been saturated from all the rain, Hahn and Bekanich agreed. The situation is hampering recovery for river flooding victims. For example, the flea market at the Garden Drive-In in Hunlock Township was scheduled to reopen this Sunday, but the recent rains delayed river flooding cleanup efforts and made the ground

QUOTE OF THE DAY “With those parts that were upheld, we have the strongest immigration law in the country.” Robert Bentley Alabama’s governor said police in his state would immediately begin enforcing new laws, upheld by a federal judge earlier this week, aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. Authorities there can question people suspected of being in the country illegally and hold them without bond.

OTHER OPINION: RIGHT TO CARRY

Put safety catch on gun permit bill

UPPORTERS OF the National Rifle Association have long repeated the slogan, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” If one takes the absurdist logic at face value, it follows that the nation should pay great attention to who can possess firearms. That’s exactly what the NRAbacked National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act doesn’t do. In fact, HR 822 would do the reverse if enacted. It would force states such as Pennsylvania to honor other states’ permits to carry a concealed gun, even if those states have permit standards that are more lax. Pennsylvania already has seen its requirements for gun permits mocked by applicants who turn to Florida and other states because they fear they will not pass

muster here. If HR 822 passed, the Florida loophole would become applicable to every state that allows such permits, which is almost all of them. Pennsylvania’s idea of what is good for Pennsylvania would not count because of a federal mandate. Mayors and law enforcement officials across the country oppose the bill because of the mischief and misery they know it will cause, but a majority of House members have signed on as co-sponsors – all hail the power of the NRA! Americans will need the good sense of the Senate to shoot down the bill. Will Democrat Bob Casey, who voted for a previous version, wake up? Will Republican Pat Toomey really protect this state’s rights? Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Post office should open the door for coal miner stamp AS IT works to adjust to operations in the 21st century, the U.S. Postal Service has been seeking ways to re-connect with customers across America. An initiative along those lines, announced this week, is to allow – for the first time – living people to be honored on U.S. postage stamps. According to The Associated Press, U.S. citizens previously would not be considered for the honor of gracing parcels and stamp collections until they had been deceased for at least five years. An exception traditionally was made for former presidents. But in an effort to appeal to crowds more in tune with email and instant messaging, the post office and its Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee intend to honor citizens who themselves are still able to mail a letter. While I am sure that the names of entertainers, athletes and politicians will be submitted, I know of one group of Americans whose time for their own stamp is long overdue. Coal miners. Efforts to have a stamp dedicated to coal miners are nothing new, and such initiatives have been well-documented in the pages of The Times Leader over the years. Only weeks ago, state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, detailed recent efforts by the Coal Miners Stamp Committee of Northeastern Pennsylvania and the state

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY House of Representatives to persuade the post office to honor coal miners. What makes the issue relevant to the new postal legislation is that while the heyday for coal mining in Northeastern Pennsylvania might have passed, the mining industry is still alive and well in many places across the United States. That means, under the new rules, thousands of living coal miners should be eligible for consideration. As Rep. Pashinski points out, 29 miners died just last year after a mining accident and subsequent explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. Other accidents, including the 2002 Quecreek Mine rescue in Pennsylvania’s Somerset County, illustrate that many of the dangers faced by our ancestors in the anthracite fields of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties are still present for thousands of hardworking miners. A quick glance at the U.S. Postal Service website reveals stamps for sale that are dedicated to everything from wild birds to jewelry, actors to national parks, Sunday comics to Disney characters. All of these stamps pay tribute to some segment of American culture and lifestyle, and I am happy to see all of them being published and offered for sale.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Please consider helping area volunteer program

GERARD HETMAN

What disappoints me is that there has not yet been a stamp commissioned to honor those people who have worked, and continue to work, in an industry that embodies so many of the values that have made our nation great. When I think of coal mining in Northeastern Pennsylvania, I think of an engine of multiculturalism, where workers from many nationalities labored shoulder-to-shoulder to provide the fuel that powered America. I think of the dedication displayed by so many hard-working Americans who took care of their families by venturing deep below ground, sometimes never seeing the light of day during their shifts. Many of these brave workers never came back up from the mines, while countless others were scarred for life by black lung disease and other job-related aliments. The sacrifices made by these early generations of coal miners are reflected in the miners of today, who still venture below ground to work with picks and shovels. While safety and working conditions have improved a great deal, dangers still remain. That’s why the U.S. Postal Service should consider American coal miners – living and deceased – for a commemorative stamp. After all that these men and women have given – and continue to give – to our nation, it is the least we can do to say thanks.

n these times of great economic need, it is critical that we all step up to address the issues that are directly affecting our communities. For this reason, President Obama has launched the “United We Serve” initiative to provide us with tools to volunteer efficiently and effectively in our communities, whether we donate a few hours of our vacation to a soup kitchen or a few hours each week to mentoring a child. Here in Falls, a group of us from the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program for Luzerne/Wyoming Counties has been assisting with flood-recovery efforts. RSVP volunteers John and Darlene Headley are among those who responded, providing relief packages, cleaning kits, referrals and hot meals to those people displaced by the flooding. Together with the American Red Cross, Lions Club International and Emergency Management Agency, the volunteers staffed donation centers, helped to open and sometimes to evacuate assistance centers, provided respite for the weary at the Falls Senior

Center and greeted residents with a “how can we help you” attitude. Mr. and Mrs. Headley have worked tirelessly at the Falls Senior Center, where they have hot lunch and dinner for those in the effected area. They even have taken meals to people unable to get to the center. Many people in Wyoming County lost their homes to the floods. Many are still residing in shelters. On average, the center served meals to 65 families and since Sept. 10 has given more than 300 cleaning kits. The recovery is ongoing. Volunteers are helping, but the suffering is widespread and only beginning. In addition, RSVP member Elaine Pendelton stated, “The Falls Senior Center has become a clearinghouse of referrals for

West Pittston youngster feels effects of flooding

am 11 years old and live in West Pittston. In case you haven’t heard, there was a bad flood on Sept. 8. Many people’s homes were destroyed. And only down the street from where my sister goes to school, a gasoline tank leaked and went into the water. Not only was the gas in the water, so was mud, oil and things from the river. Also, water entered the basement where my sister attends school, where there had been kindergarten classes, an art room, music room and gym. I just wish I could help. Logan Nicole Cook West Pittston

LUZERNE COUNTY

Infrastructure damage listed at $13.5 million

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has recognized at least $13.5 million in flood damage to public infrastructure in Luzerne County, county Emergency Management Agency Director Steve Bekanich said on Thursday. County EMA staffers accompanied three teams of FEMA officials on inspections of 13 sites this week, including the boroughs of West Pittston, Duryea, Shickshinny and Kingston; the townships of Plymouth, Conyngham, Plains and Exeter;

the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Pittston; the county levee system and county buildings; and a sewer authority project in lower Lackawanna County and Jenkins Township. The greatest damage totals were found in Wilkes-Barre, Shickshinny and Plymouth Township, totaling about $2.1 million in each. Other municipalities averaged about $700,000 in damage, with West Pittston hitting about $1 million, Bekanich said, adding that he expects that $13.5 million figure will grow. Bekanich said the inspections were done primarily to determine whether the county met its $1.05 million minimum

Several volunteers have helped Yudkowitz, 52, almost every night, removing water-soaked drywall, insulation, ceiling blocks, carpets and mud, bucket-by-bucket, hand-carried from the basement. Yudkowitz said his health limits what he can do. His doctors warned him not to go inside his house without wearing a mask due to an abundance of mold growing on walls and not to lift anything heavier than 20 pounds. He estimates he still has three to four weeks left of debris removal before he can begin rebuilding. When Yudkowitz heard Plains Township will stop picking up flood debris today, he was left wondering how he will fully recover. He has already spent

Math results were better, with 25 schools missing the goal of 67 percent scoring proficient or better. Schools can still make AYP when they miss these goals because the state considers other factors when analyzing test re-

Filippini said crews from Stell Enterprises and Frank Kelly Utility Contractors, both in Plains Township, have been working nearly non-stop since Sept. 12 removing debris. The decision to end daily debris removal came down to the amount of damaged property being left at the

sults. • Meeting the proficiency goals with special education students continues to be the biggest challenge for school districts. The goals must be met by all students and by subgroups such as special education, minority and economically disadvantaged students.

in special education than in any other subgroup. • Three local districts missed the goals as well: Wilkes-Barre Area, Hazleton Area, and Scranton. All three made AYP last year. Districts can and often do make the goals even when some of their schools miss them. The annual release of data by the state is done in compliance with the federal law known as No Child Left Behind. That law required state standardized math and reading tests yearly in grades three through eight and

11. The percentage of students scoring proficient or better must increase steadily until it hits 100 percent in 2014. Though there are numerous exceptions and complications in Pennsylvania, the goals must be met at the district, school and grade level, and by each of various subgroups of students who statistically score poorly on standardized tests, such as minorities and special education.

Each state sets its own annual goals. In Pennsylvania, the goals rose this year to 67 percent proficient or better in math and 72 percent in reading. That’s up from 56 percent and 63 percent, respectively, last year. Despite the increase in schools missing AYP, the majority still made the grade, and some posted exceptional scores or gains. Wycallis Elementary in Dallas School District had 97.8

percent score proficient or better in math. Kennedy Elementary in Wyoming Area hit 97.5 percent in both math and reading. Heights-Murray in WilkesBarre Area had the biggest single gain in math, from 58.5 percent proficient or better to 70.5 percent. Pittston Area Senior High School improved reading results from 66.9 percent to 79.4 percent.

Spotlight on hitting

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Third-and-1 this time, and the whistle blew again. Another false start penalty. Another drive stalled. Joe Paterno, on the sideline during a game for the first time all season, didn’t hide his displeasure at his offensive line last Saturday against Eastern Michigan, yelling as his team failed to convert after the penalty and settled for a field goal. The careless penalties were bad enough. Watching the film afterward was worse, as the Penn State coach saw his team struggle to run the ball against a low-caliber opponent. Heading into Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Indiana, the running game is a significant problem for the Nittany Lions, who rank dead last in the conference at 137 yards on the ground per game. “No, I’m not satisfied with our running game,” Paterno said. “We have to do a much better job running the football, particularly in this league. You can’t play touch football. You gotta be able to knock somebody off the ball. The backs have to make a couple things happen. “We’re not a good running team See PSU, Page 2B

Lake-Lehman and Meyers square off after picking up first wins last weekend. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

After 0-3 starts, Lake-Lehman and Meyers gained some momentum last weekend by posting victories. Now one of them is certain to lose it as they meet at 7 p.m. today at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2A-A football game. Lehman (1-3) was the surprise team of 2010. Under first-year coach Jerry Gilsky, the Black Knights won seven of their first eight games to qualify for the District 2 Class 2A playoffs. It was only the second time in the last12 years the program advanced to the postseason. The tail end of last season, though, didn’t go well. Lehman lost its last three, including a 4115 trouncing by GAR in the D2-2A first round. The losing streak carried over to the first three games of this season as the Black Knights fell to three quality opponents. See FOOTBALL, Page 5B

led the American League with 222 home runs and scored 867 runs - more than any other team in the postseason. The bulk of that production came from second baseman Robinson Cano, who’s an MVP candidate with 28 homers, 118 RBI, 104 runs scored and a .302 batting average. Despite batting just .248, first baseman Mark Teixiera slugged 39 homers and drove home 111 runs, while center fielder Curtis Granderson blasted 41 homers on the season. They’ll be difficult to dump if that type of production continues in the postseason. “This is why you play, to get in the playoffs,” said Jeter, who overcame his earlyseason struggles to reach the 150-hit mark for the 16th consecutive season and join Hank Aaron and Pete Rose as the only players to accomplish that. “The excitement starts (tonight).” More like the drama.

NEW YORK – Indignant and defiant, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland did everything but stomp his feet and pound his fists while insisting his team has a chance to advance past the American League Division Series. “I feel we’re a good opponent,” Leyland said. “We have a right to play these guys.” He doesn’t have to convince the New York Yankees. They’re already prepared for a dogfight when the Tigers come to Yankee Stadium to open a best-of-five series at 8:37 tonight. “It’s going to be tough,” said Yankees ace CC Sabathia, who will take his 19-8 record and 3.00 ERA to the mound for Game 1 of the series. “That lineup, they have great lineup.” New York’s isn’t bad, either. The Yankees won the American League East with a league-best 97-65 record, with cleanup hitter Alex Rodriguez and star shortstop Derek Jeter injured for long stretches of the season. Jeter’s back and hitting as well as ever with a .327 batting average over the second half of the season, while A-Rod proclaimed himself healthy enough to make an impact on the playoffs.

yet. We have the potential to be, but we’re not there now.” Granted, the entire offense has struggled as the Lions continue to rotate two quarterbacks, making it tough for the team to get into rhythm. But the veteran offensive line has underachieved as well. Senior left tackle Quinn Barham was guilty of a third-down false start. A snap from junior center Matt Stankiewitch has hit the ground in each of the last two games. Senior right tackle Chima Okoli has battled an ankle injury and was flagged for holding against Temple, wiping out a 52yard touchdown pass. Against Eastern Michigan, Stankiewitch said the early procedure penalties were due in part to the Eagles defense illegally shouting out cadences to try and get the Lions to move early. Okoli said it wasn’t the first game where that has happened, and it won’t be the last, so the unit can’t make excuses. Things will only get tougher as

Penn State enters conference play, but the offensive line remains confident. “We’re definitely ready for Big Ten defensive lines,” Stankiewitch said. “We have to keep getting better, of course. But (between) last year and this year, we definitely have been playing together for a long time, definitely with the seniors up front and myself. “The jelling has definitely come along better that way in the spring and definitely now into our fifth game.” Fortunately for the Lions, they open Big Ten play against a weak run defense. The Hoosiers are allowing 189.75 rushing yards per game, which has them lingering at 11th in the conference and 95th in the nation. Penn State remains thin at tailback, however, with Brandon Beachum out for another week because of a sprained ankle and Stephfon Green still deep in Paterno’s doghouse. Starter Silas Redd (303 yards) remains ready to go despite missing time at the end of the Temple game with cramps. Fellow sophomore Curtis Dukes appears to be

in line to be the top backup for another week. For Paterno, it all starts up front. “We have a ways to go,” Paterno said. “We’re not consistent. We had two penalties that were really uncalled for. We had a lousy snap from the center. “The offensive line has not been as physical or as consistent assignment-wise as it has to be for us to be better.” Brief Lynn update Penn State play-by-play man Steve Jones gave a positive update on recovering cornerback D’Anton Lynn after speaking to him on Thursday evening. “He’s feeling so much better,” Jones said on the team’s weekly radio show, which he hosts. “He will have another test (today) and will go from there.” Lynn continues to get periodic checks for symptoms of a concussion after being immobilized and carted off the field last Saturday after a helmet-to-helmet collision. He is not expected to play against Indiana.

Coughlin (2-2) at Wyoming Valley West (4-0) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Coughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ciro Cinti (31-28, 6th year); Valley Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pat Keating (17-9, 3rd year) Last Meeting: Valley West 27-13 in 2010 Scouting Coughlin: After a poor performance against powerful Valley View, Coughlin rebounded by defeating Williamsport 28-0. The game wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as close as the score indicated as the Crusaders dominated from the onset despite Williamsport running 41 first-half plays to Coughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16. RBs Joe Parsnik and Zac Evans each went over 100 yards and put away the game with three third-quarter TD runs. The defense recorded four sacks, although it could have doubled that if not for some escapes by the Williamsport QBs. It also forced eight fumbles, but recovered only one. Williamsport finished with 76 yards of offense. Scouting Valley West: After tussling early with rival Berwick, the Spartans pulled away in the second quarter for a 46-22 victory. QB Eugene Lewis had four rushing TDs and RB Tashawn Bunch had two in the second quarter as Valley West built a 33-9 halftime lead. DB Dylan Flayhart returned an interception for a touchdown, giving the Spartans their second defensive score in as many weeks. The defense has been allowing some points after surrendering just one TD in the first two games. However, some of the TDs in the last two games were after the Spartans built a comfortable lead. What To Expect: Coughlin needs to use its running game to work the clock and keep Valley Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense off the field. It will be an incredibly difficult task and appears doubtful it will be accomplished.

Dallas (4-0) at Williamsport (1-3) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Dallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ted Jackson (221-80-3, 27th year); Williamsportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Gravish (62-68, 12th year) Last Meeting: Dallas 52-43 in 2010 Scouting Dallas: Dallas escaped with a win over Pittston Area for a second consecutive year, as a 31-yard pass from Ryan Zapoticky to Brett Wanek with 50 seconds left gave the Mountaineers a 21-14 victory. RB Jim Roccograndi was cooled off a bit, rushing for 67 yards and no TDs after having 550 and six TDs through three games. While the offense had a season-low 253 yards, the defense held its second consecutive opponent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and third this season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to under 200 yards of total offense. Scouting Williamsport: After two heartbreaking losses, Williamsport came out incredibly flat in a 28-0 loss to Coughlin. It was the first time in the last 26 games that the Millionaires were shut out. Standout RB Devin Miller was held to 32 yards on 11 carries. They tried to run with QB Shadiq Burkholder, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. The biggest problem was the line play. Coughlin shredded Williamsport on both sides of the ball. Burkholder and fellow QB Jordan Whaley were under relentless pressure. Meanwhile, the defensive line allowed a pair of 100-yard rushers. What To Expect: Even with Dallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hiccup last week, both teams are heading in opposite directions. There seems to be little chance that trend with end tonight.

Hanover Area (2-2) at Northwest (2-2) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Hanover Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Hummer (33-26, 6th year); Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carl Majer (24-14, 4th year) Last Meeting: Hanover Area 38-14 in 2010 Scouting Hanover Area: The Hawkeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 48-0 loss to Wyoming Area was the worst during Hummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure as coach. The game was ugly for Hanover Area from the get-go. Hanover Area finished with 113 yards of offense, much coming against the reserves. The Hawkeyes fumbled eight times. QB Joe Ksiazkiewicz was constantly harassed and was sacked four times. RB Parrish Bennett had no running room. And field position was terrible. Really, the best thing would be to forget last Saturday and moved on to Northwest. Scouting Northwest: After giving up a couple first-quarter scores, Northwest played GAR tough in a 21-6 loss. RB Tony Politz got back on track, rushing for 162 yards on the sloppy field. The passing offense netted no yards, but that could have been from the poor playing conditions. The defense was bitten by some big plays once again and had trouble for a second consecutive week controlling an elusive quarterback. That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a big concern tonight, although Northwest QB Gunner Majer is one of the bigger signal callers in the WVC. What To Expect: Both team are on two-game losing streaks after 2-0 starts. Hanover Area canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly play any worse than last week because if it does it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come home with a victory.

Pittston Area (2-2) at Hazleton Area (2-2) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Pittston Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Barrett (2-2, 1st year); Hazleton Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Drumheller (2-2, 1st year) Last Meeting: Hazleton Area 14-7 in 2010 Scouting Pittston Area: The Patriots nearly pulled off the upset of the season last week, falling 21-14 to unbeaten Dallas on a touchdown pass with 50 seconds remaining. Despite the loss, they are definitely a better team than last season. QB Anthony Schwab appears to be settling in in his first year starting. Same goes for RBs Mark Romanczuk and Justin Wilk, newcomers to the lineup who have rushed for nine TDs this season. Pittston Area had five rushing touchdowns the entire 2010 season. Scouting Hazleton Area: While Pittston Area was losing late, Hazleton Area was winning late. A 97-yard TD drive allowed the Cougars to edge winless Tunkhannock 35-28. RB Brian Campbell rushed for 131 yards and Hazleton Area totaled a season-high 334 yards on the ground. The defense, though, continues to give up too much yardage via the air. The unit is allowing an average of 150.3 yards vs. the pass. The run defense has been solid against opponents who like to pound the ball. What To Expect: With three District 2 Class 4A teams unbeaten, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely Hazleton Area can get back into the playoff picture. Pittston Area can stay in the D2-3A race with a win. This one seems too close to call.

John Erzar

Selinsgrove (1-3) at Berwick (1-3) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Selinsgroveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Hess (37-10, 4th year); Berwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gary Campbell (121-47-1, 13th year) Last Meeting: Selinsgrove 14-13 in 2010 Scouting Selinsgrove: The Seals picked up their first win of the season last week, defeating Shamokin 14-7. QB Tyler Grein threw for 121 yards, but has one TD against eight interceptions thus far. WR Tyler Gemberling is the top pass catcher with 10 receptions. RBs Mike Ede and Nick Kratzer got the running game going for the first time this season. The Seals are off to their worst start under Hess, who coached them to a 16-0 record and the PIAA Class 3A championship in 2009. Scouting Berwick: Berwick finds itself in the same place where it was last year before going on a late-season run to salvage an Eastern Conference playoff berth. The Dawgs played the WVCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two best teams in consecutive weeks and the results werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 53-20 loss to Dallas and a 46-22 loss to Wyoming Valley West. On both occasions, some Berwick touchdowns came when the outcome was well in hand. On a positive note, Berwick RB Jeremy Freeman is running the ball well for the most part. What To Expect: Many of the previous 25 meetings were classic matchups of two powers. Not so this time. Still, it should be a good game, although Selinsgrove will definitely need more offense, something lacking through four games.

John Erzar

Lake-Lehman (1-3) at Meyers (1-3) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jerry Gilsky (8-7, 2nd year); Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Corry Hanson (1-3, 1st year) Last Meeting: Lake-Lehman 14-0 in 2010 Scouting Lehman: The Black Knights snapped a six-game losing streak that started at the end of the 2010 season, routing Holy Redeemer 56-6. They were up 35-0 midway through the second quarter. Although the victory came against a team with 15 consecutive losses, Lehman really needed to break out of its offensive stupor. RB/WR Nick Shelley and RB Dustin Jones combined for 300 yards on just 17 carries. QB Jared Novitski ran and threw the ball well. The defense surrendered just 107 yards, although Redeemer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the weapons of Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three previous opponents. Neither does Meyers, so another solid defensive effort is possible. Scouting Meyers: The Mohawks were also stuck in a losing streak, dropping four in a row and being outscored 165-28 in those games before defeating Nanticoke 14-8 last week. The running game showed some promise against a veteran Nanticoke team as RB Fabian Smith rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns. The passing game is a work in progress. The Mohawks, though, turned over the ball four times and had 105 yards in penalties. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that tonight if they expect to win. Nor can the defense revert to how it played in the first three games. What To Expect: Although both teams have the same record, Lehman is well ahead of Meyers in several categories. It will take a huge effort for Meyers to win two in a row for the first time since the 2009 season.

Holy Redeemer (0-4) at GAR (3-1) 7 p.m. Saturday The Coaches: Redeemerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Ostrowski (0-4, 1st year); Paul Wiedlich Jr. (14-3, 2nd year) Last Meeting: GAR 55-0 in 2010 Scouting Redeemer: After making some progress in three losses, the Royals took a step back in a 56-6 loss to Lake-Lehman. QB David Gawlas had just 25 rushing yards after having 112 against a good Holy Cross team two weeks earlier. The ground game finished with a net of 7 yards. The defense continues to struggle against the run and allowed 468 rushing yards. And it also continues to give up too many big plays to keep games close into the third quarter. Scouting GAR: The Grenadiers rebounded from a loss to Lakeland with a workman-like 21-6 victory over Northwest in the slop. QB Darrell Crawford returned from injury to rush for 111 yards and a touchdown on just nine carries. WR Lucas Benton has done a nice job since moving to running back. And WR Shaliek Powell keeps coming up with big plays. No opponent has thrown the ball well on GAR, but none brought much of a passing game. Redeemer will certainly toss the ball since it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to run it at all. What To Expect: GAR scored on four of its first five plays in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. A similar outburst isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely, but the Grenadiers should be able to salt away this one within a reasonable amount of time.

Tunkhannock (0-4) at Crestwood (3-1) 7 p.m. Saturday The Coaches: Tunkhannockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rod Azar (0-4, 1st year); Crestwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greg Myers (36-42, 7th year) Last Meeting: Tunkhannock 25-7 in 2010 Scouting Tunkhannock: After being manhandled in their first three games, the Tigers played much better in a 35-28 loss to Hazleton Area. The defense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Hazleton Area late, allowing a 97yard scoring drive that proved to be the difference. Still, QB Luke Seaberg is improving while RBs Zach Edmundson and Josh Robinson provided some solid running. WR Josh Colley leads the WVC with 301 receiving yards despite only eight catches. The Tigers are allowing 42 points per game and could have trouble with a balanced Crestwood attack. Scouting Crestwood: Crestwood was upset by East Stroudsburg North 26-21, ending a four-game winning streak. While WR Kota Kishel had a big game (6 rec., 160 yds., 2 TDs), the rest of the offense was pedestrian. RB Roger Legg had his streak of three consecutive 100yard games snapped. The defense had another rough time stopping the run. It has allowed 480 yards on the ground in its last two games after surrendering 307 in its first two. Nor was it able to hold the lead after Crestwood went ahead early in the fourth quarter. What To Expect: Crestwood to bounce back, but if Tunkhannock plays like it did last week it will make it a tough task.

John Erzar

Nanticoke (1-2) at Wyoming Area (2-1) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Nanticokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Bruza (5-8, 2nd year); Wyoming Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Randy Spencer (16-19, 4th year) Last Meeting: Wyoming Area 35-6 in 2010 Scouting Nanticoke: The Trojans were hoping to make some noise this season with a veteran crew returning. Instead, things have sputtered the past two weeks. The offense relies on the running game, but after an impressive opener RB Brian Maslowski has found little running room. Last week, Meyers, which gave up big chunks of yardage on the ground previously, held Nanticoke to 54 yards on 30 carries to win 14-8. Moreover, the offense hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored the last two weeks. Nanticokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two TDs have come via kick return and a blocked punt. Scouting Wyoming Area: Except for a couple untimely penalties and a botched extra-point attempt, Wyoming Area did very little else wrong in thrashing Hanover Area 48-0. QB Nick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien was excellent once again and RBs Matt Kintz and Jeff Skursky showed power running between the tackles. The Warriors also pulled out a double reverse and halfback option pass for touchdowns. The defense was relentless. The line was particularly impressive. It spent as much time in Hanover Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backfield as the Hanover Area running backs. It was a second consecutive impressive performance from the unit. What To Expect: Speed was a huge difference in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game and will be once again. Wyoming Area has too much as stake to slip up now on what appears to be an Oct. 22 showdown at GAR.

AL DIVISION SERIES

Six teams shooting for WVC title By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

At the end of most seasons, the Wyoming Valley Conference holds a playoff consisting of four teams. This year, however, six teams will be involved due to a pair of ties atop two divisions. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. today at Fox Hill Country Club in Exeter, division winners Pittston Area (East) and Holy Redeemer (Central) will be joined by North Division co-champions Dallas (10-1) and Wyoming Valley West (10-1) and South Division co-titlists Crestwood and Berwick, which both have a record of 9-3. The Royals (10-0) are coming off a win last week against the Pa-

triots (9-1) that had to be decided by the fifth golfer and the match was still decided by just one stroke. The teams have been battling all season for the top spot in the conference since the preseason Tryba Tournament, which was also won by the Royals by three shots over Pittston Area. The winner advances to the District 2 Team Championships on Oct. 7 at Fox Hill Country Club against the Lackawanna League winner. Today, the league from up north is playing its quarterfinals with Lakeland (9-1-1) at North Pocono (10-1), Honesdale (8-2) at Abington Heights (10-1), Holy Cross (9-2-1) at Montrose (9-1) and Scranton Prep (10-2) at Wallenpaupack (8-1-1). The play-

offs are expected to continue and conclude next week. Pittston Area is led by defending PIAA champion Brandon Matthews, who was hit with his first WVC loss in nearly two years earlier in the week during the Pre-District Tournament. The Patriots also have much more depth with C.J. Lynch, Matt Carroll and Ryan Tracy, all of whom qualified for the District 2 Individual Tournament on Oct. 5 at Elmhurst Country Club. Mariano Medico, a Redeemer sophomore, won the event earlier this week and is one of six Royals advancing to districts, being joined by Matt Slavoski, Will Fulton, Eric Jones, John Kane and Chase Makowski.

Wyoming Valley West leads all WVC teams with seven participants in the district tournament led by Evan Pirillo, who took third at Pre-Districts, and followed by Chris McCue, Chris Nixon, Andrew Crossin, Colin Harrison, Ryan Hettes and Leanne Dellarte. Finishing second to Medico at districts was Dallas’ John Dougherty. He’s one of five Mounts to move on along with Justin Brojakowski, Rudy Georgetti, Ryan Georgetti and Austin Smith. Crestwood’s top golfers moving on to districts are Jake Popowycz, Joe Hurn and Bill Dombroski. Berwick’s two district qualifiers are Ty Morzilla and Ben Bower.

Lehman, though, bounced back last week against Holy Redeemer for a 56-6 victory. Granted the win came against a winless opponent, but just tasting victory was important. “We finally got that losing monkey off our back,” Gilsky said. “Think about it. It started with that Hanover game last year. … To go against Redeemer and have a win like we did, it made practice more interesting.” The same goes for Meyers (1-3). The Mohawks had won just once in their last 12 games before defeating Nanticoke 14-8 last weekend. “It lifted the team morale,”

tent lineup by pitching ace Justin Verlander, whose 24-5 record and 2.40 ERA make him a frontrunner for the Cy Young Award and may put him in the running for American League MVP. “I don’t really care,” Yankees right fielder Nick Swisher said during Thursday’s workouts at Yankee Stadium. “He’s going to have to get on the mound, he’s going to have to throw it across the plate.” The Tigers certainly aren’t throwing in the towel. They have former Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre star Austin Jackson kick-starting things at the top of the lineup, with some big bats behind him. Miguel Cabrera hit .344 with 20 homers and 105 RBI, while Victor Martinez put up a .330 batting average with 103 RBI. And All-Star break acquisition Delmon Young has been a big boost, with eight home runs and 40 RBI in 40 games since joining the Tigers. “It’s a complete team,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “They’re very good fundamentally, their starting rotation is good, their bullpen is good, their lineup is very good and it’s deep. We know how tough our opponent is. “And it’s going to be a tough series.” Not to mention an interesting one for Scranton/WilkesBarre fans. New York will carry six for-

WEEK 5 SCHEDULE Today’s Games (7 p.m.) Coughlin at Wyoming Valley West Dallas at Williamsport Hanover Area at Northwest Lake-Lehman at Meyers Nanticoke at Wyoming Area Pittston Area at Hazleton Area Selinsgrove at Berwick Saturday’s Games Holy Redeemer at GAR, 7 p.m. Tunkhannock at Crestwood, 7 p.m.

Meyers first-year coach Corry Hanson said. “The boys saw that we worked really hard through August and September and it really paid off.” The Mohawks certainly needed a boost after opening with a 37-14 loss to Holy Cross and following with two more setbacks against a pair of unbeatens – 45-0 mer prominent Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees on its Division Series roster, led by starting left fielder Brett Gardner and All-Star setup man David Robertson in the bullpen. Ivan Nova, Scranton/WilkesBarre’s winningest pitcher at 12-3 in 2010, will get the Game 2 start for the Yankees on Saturday. Meanwhile regular starting pitcher Phil Hughes will work out of the bullpen as the Yankees decided to go with a three-man rotation this series. Utility man Eduardo Nunez will be available for defensive or pinch-hitting duty, while catcher/dh Jesus Montero bashed his way into New York’s playoff plans with a .328 batting average, four homers and 12 RBI since being promoted from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in early September. Girardi said he’ll be bruised after taking a foul tip off his fingers in Wednesday’s regular season finale. Both those players represented Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the 2010 International League AllStar Game. Nova, who went 16-4 for New York this season, will face Doug Fister (11-13, 2.83 ERA) in Game 2 at Yankee Stadium. Freddy Garcia will take his 12-8 record against Detroit’s Max Scherzer (15-9) when the series shifts to Detroit’s Comerica Park on Monday. “You’ve got to make the routine plays, you do what you can in the moment,” Swisher said. “This is what you play for. We’re excited about it. I feel great. Why wouldn’t you feel great? “Best record in the American League.”

Four games postponed

Four games were postponed Friday due to field conditions and inclement weather. Elk Lake at GAR has been rescheduled for 3:30 p.m. today. No make-up dates were set for Montrose at Pittston Area, Tunkhannock at Berwick and Lackawanna Trail at Wyoming Area.

Brittany Porreca totaled 21 digs. Alyssa Triano led MMI, which won games two and three 25-22 and 25-21, with 34 assists and 11 service points. Kirsten Young (14 kills, 19 digs), Ashley Bains (14 service points, 12 digs), Kirsten Purcell (16 digs, 10 service points) and Monica Wessel (15 kills) all contributed for MMI.

H.S. VOLLEYBALL

Lake-Lehman 3, Wyoming Area 0

Hazleton Area outlasted MMI, winning the first, fourth and fifth game by the scores of 25-19, 25-11 and 15-13 to earn a win on the road. Meghan Baranko notched 24 digs and 10 kills for the winners, while Catherine LaBuz added 19 assists and 13 service points and

Lake-Lehman swept Wyoming Area by the game scores of 25-15, 25-7 and 25-21. Carol Mosier led the Warriors with 23 assists and 10 service points, while Laura Casterline registered 19 service points and Tiffany Olinger chipped in with eight kills and three aces.

to Dunmore and 55-7 to Lackawanna Trail. “As a staff we saw definite progress,” Hanson said. “If we played Holy Cross again, I think we’d have a chance to beat them. Those other two teams were very good teams. But as a coaching staff watching films, we saw a lot of progress in those two games.” Meyers passing offense once again struggled against Nanticoke. The Mohawks have completed just 13-of-65 passes for 99 yards and one touchdown against seven interceptions through four games. The running game, though, finally showed progress as Fabian Smith gained 108 yards and scored twice on 28 carries against Nanticoke. “Lehman is a tough team,” Hanson said. “Talking to coach Gilsky, both teams are dealing

with some injuries. But we’re both coming off wins, so we’ll see what happens Friday night.” Lehman has more balance than Meyers on offense. Quarterback Jared Novitski threw the ball better against Redeemer and can also run when need be. But carrying the ball is the job of Dustin Jones and Nick Shelley, who have combined for 681 yards and six rushing touchdowns. Lehman is 10th in the D2-2A standings, a spot behind Meyers. But if the Black Knights can win tonight and next Saturday afternoon against Northwest, they can get back into the playoff hunt with a little help elsewhere. “We look at these three games, and we don’t take anyone lightly,” Gilsky said. “But we want to be 3-3 going into the GAR game.”

Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon, a Hazleton native, ponders a reporter’s question Thursday.

Rays’ fantastic finish creates confidence By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers had to win their last six games in the regular season to earn home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs this time. Just to get into the postseason, Tampa Bay had to overcome a nine-game deficit in the final month and a seven-run deficit in the final game. “Right now there’s nothing that we don’t think that we can’t do. ... We believe,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said Thursday, a day before the opener of a rematch of last year’s AL division series. “We definitely have a strong belief system going on right now, regardless of how we can look at these other teams that we have to play, and maybe there’s areas that they appear to be stronger than we, and probably are.” A tired Tampa Bay team arrived last Thursday at Rangers Ballpark, where the defending AL champion Rangers were already working out after getting to fly home from Los Angeles rather than having to go to Yankee Stadium.

game. That’s the only time that has ever happened in the major leagues. “You’re talking about two teams that don’t really care where they play,” Rangers designated hitter Michael Young said. “It should be a fun series. You’re talking about two teams that are playing extremely well heading into the postseason.” Game 1 is Friday, when C.J. Wilson (16-7) pitches for the Rangers, who have won 14 of 16 games and set a franchise record with 96 victories. Wilson has known for more than a week that he’d be starting the playoff opener, and fellow left-hander Derek Holland (16-5) is set to start Game 2 on Saturday night. Maddon, whose team went 16-8 while having to play every day like an elimination game for the past few weeks, said Rays coaches were still discussing their playoff rotation. The only question for the Rangers over the last few days was whether they’d hold off Detroit for the American League’s second-best mark.

Pressure is piled on the Phillies for the playoffs By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — No team enters this postseason under more pressure than the Philadelphia Phillies. Expectations are so high in the City of Brotherly Love that anything less than a World Series title will be considered a failure by fans, players and management. Yes, it’s boom or bust for these Phillies, who are a long way removed from being known for losing more games than any franchise in professional sports. “Our main goal is to get to the World Series and win it,” pitcher Roy Oswalt said. Their road begins Saturday against the wild-card St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. Led by their Four Aces, the Phillies cruised to their fifth straight NL East title and led the majors in wins for the second straight season. They set a franchise record for wins in a season, and achieved several accomplishments along

the way. None of that matters. All they care about is having a victory parade down Broad Street for the second time in four years. “Our ultimate goal is to win the World Series,” starter Cliff Lee said. “We still have a lot of business to take care of.” Lee’s arrival in Philadelphia raised expectations to all-or-nothing proportions. The All-Star lefty stunned the baseball world last winter when he spurned the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers and took less money to return to the Phillies, who traded him away in December 2009. Lee joined reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels and Oswalt to form one of the best starting rotations in recent history. They didn’t disappoint. Lee was 17-8 with a 2.40 ERA and a major-league leading six shutouts, twice falling one out shy of another shutout. Halladay went 19-6 with a 2.35 ERA and a majors-best eight complete games.

Two SWB Yanks awarded Gold Gloves The Times Leader staff

A pair of Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees were selected as 2011 Minor League Rawlings Gold Glove Award recipients. Brandon Laird and Austin Krum claimed the awards representing the New York organization. Laird, primarily a third baseman, and Krum, an outfielder, were selected among qualifying players from the 10 domestic-based, full-season Minor Leagues. The duo join seven other minor leaguers in receiving their own Rawlings Gold Glove Award, which is modeled after the same award given to Major League Baseball’s top defensive players. Laird, who played the entire season for Scranton/Wilkes-

Barre and spent some time in New York, also saw time in the outfield and first base for SWB. Krum, who split time between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Trenton, made numerous outstanding defensive plays for both teams this season. The rest of the recipients and their Major League affiliates are: Craig Westcott, pitcher, San Francisco; Tucker Barnhardt, catcher, Cincinnati; Efren Navarro, first base, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim; Steve Lombardozzi, second baseman, Washington; Darwin Perez, shortstop, Los Angeles Dodgers; Jordan Danks, center field, Chicago White Sox; Cole Gillespie, right field, Arizona.

Stupar prepared to make the most

Fifth-year senior takes over for injured LB Mauti By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

There was nothing dramatic about it. Nate Stupar simply showed up for practice and saw that his name was not listed with the rest of the defensive starters. The message that he would begin this season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his fifth and final one at Penn State â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a backup at linebacker was understated. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it sting any less. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously I was very disappointed at the beginning of the year. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be?â&#x20AC;? Stupar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I took every day as it was and trusted God had a plan for me. My dad told me to keep my head up and be ready to answer the call.â&#x20AC;? It came last week. Michael Mautiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second fluky ACL injury in three years has again put him out for the season, pushing Stupar into the starting role he thought he would have all along. Stupar had expected to be the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting strongside linebacker in 2011 with Mauti in the middle and

Gerald Hodges in the weakside spot. When preseason camp opened, Stupar however, Stupar found that Penn State coaches had promoted sophomore Glenn Carson, placing him at middle linebacker and shifting Mauti back to the strongside position he started at in 2010. That left Stupar stuck behind the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dynamic linebacker on the depth chart, one who would rarely be coming off the field in big games. During the non-conference schedule, Stupar still saw plenty of snaps as the Lions rotated linebackers in and out against weaker competition. He was expecting another decent workload last Saturday against Eastern Michigan. Everything changed at the end of the first quarter against the Eagles when

Mautiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left knee inexplicably buckled on a light plant into the grass. The junior seemed to know immediately what had happened, having torn the ACL in his other knee two years earlier. Stupar went in immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadly Mike Mauti had a season-ending injury, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it came that it was my turn to be called upon,â&#x20AC;? Stupar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about how you react to that situation. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just gotta keep on going and keep on getting better â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake and my sake.â&#x20AC;? As a fifth-year senior, Stupar has been in this situation before. As a sophomore in 2009, Stupar was pressed into firstteam duty when Navorro Bowman was injured early in the opener against Akron. Stupar stayed in with the starters the rest of the game and then made his first two career starts in the following weeks against Syracuse and Temple. Last season he made seven

starts as an outside linebacker, finishing third on the team with 73 tackles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stupar has played well when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in there, and he has to rise to the occasion,â&#x20AC;? coach Joe Paterno said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As will the other kids. Hodges has been a kid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played well at times. Other times, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a little bit â&#x20AC;Ś just hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been as intense as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to look at the situation and realize they have to come to the front.â&#x20AC;? The Lions couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for much more of an experienced replacement for Mauti. Stupar made an impact right away last week against the Eagles, posting a team-high seven tackles and recording a sack and three tackles for loss. Pure production shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an issue. But it will be much tougher to reproduce plays like Mautiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-saving, diving interception against Temple. It will be just as difficult to replace his loud, emotional leadership style out on the field.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought about par said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously no one like Mike â&#x20AC;&#x201C; own person. And he leader on the defense the team. As a fifthnior, I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a l well. I know everyone telligent. I know all t and everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta step in li ing happened and kee one in line. Keep peo sionate. Keep everyon ing along and keep o ing the defense as go can be.â&#x20AC;? And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it as N par. Not as an impers of Michael Mauti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard a lot of say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the craziest on the field,â&#x20AC;? Stup â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the crazy, guy yelling everythi more controlled, mo lectual. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more schemes and Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how to do if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the person face yelling at you. hooting and hollerin worked, though, and ly this will work too.

THE TIMES LEADER

WBS PENGUINS

Prepared to dismiss the critics Tangradi is ready to handle the pressure of being one of Pittsburgh’s top prospects. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Eric Tangradi has read what is being written about him in the media. Entering his third season as a pro, he is aware that some people are calling this a “make or break” year. And Tangradi, 22, knows that the pressure for him to live up to the expectations that come with being a highly UP NEXT touted prospect Hershey are greater than evat er. WBS Penguins 7:05 p.m. His response: tonight Bring it on. Tangradi was one of seven players cut from Pittsburgh’s training camp on Wednesday. He arrived in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday with a hunger and motivation fed by his critics. “Looking over the last couple of weeks, people writing crazy articles about make or break, this and that – that kind of stuff fuels me to do better,” Tangradi said. “I’ve received a whole lot more negative from the media than the positive in my career. You just put it in the back of your mind to motivate you.” After making Pittsburgh’s opening day roster out of training camp last season, Tangradi saw a promising season spiral downhill when he was sent down after a handful of games. After rediscovered his scoring touch with WilkesBarre/Scranton, Tangradi was recalled to Pittsburgh before his season was dealt another blow. On Feb. 11, he sustained a concussion against the New York Islanders and missed almost two months. This season Tangradi came to Pittsburgh’s camp healthy and rejuvenated, only to be sent down again. “It’s never easy,” he said, adding that the road to the NHL has been harder than he though. “It’s tough when you look at guys on other teams that you feel like you’re better than or do things better than. It’s definitely a tough process.” But that’s not to say Tangradi hasn’t come to Wilkes-Barre with a plan. He knows he’s capable of playing the NHL, and he just has to take things day-byday until the next opportunity arises. To make sure that opportunity comes sooner rather than later, Tangradi said there are things he can do while in Wilkes-Barre. Be consistent by bringing all elements of his game every night. That’s something head coach John Hynes would like to see as well. “He’s right on the edge. He has to become a more consistent player and find the things he’s good at that make him an NHL caliber player,” Hynes said. “We’re going to lean on him a lot to be a key player for us.” Challenge him more, maybe? “It’s all going to depend on Eric. Sometimes you have to do that with guys,” Hynes said. That doesn’t mean that time is running out on Tangradi’s chance to become an NHL star for Pittsburgh. Sure, Tangradi does have the skills and size to do it, Hynes said, but there are other aspects that come into play – such as consistency and mental toughness. “Sometimes expectations get raised so much that is becomes unfair to the player,” Hynes said. “Eric’s a young guy. He’s got plenty of time.” Mental toughness is one area where Tangradi believes he has made strides. Coming into the league two years ago, Tangradi admits he was weak mentally. But after enduring the ups and downs that he encountered last year, Tangradi feels he has progressed when it comes to handling adversity. “I’ve been through it all that most 22year-olds can’t say they’ve been through,” he said. “I feel confident enough that I can get through anything.”

WILD CLAIMS JOHNSON Nick Johnson, who was sent down by Pittsburgh on Wednesday, was one of four players – Ryan Craig, Colin McDonald and Scott Munroe being the others – who had to clear waivers before reporting to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He didn’t. Johnson was claimed by the Minnesota Wild before the waiver deadline expired at noon on Thursday. Hynes said Minnesota, whose general manager is former Pittsburgh assistant GM Chuck Fletcher, represents a great opportunity for Johnson.

Stock info being added

The Times Leader is making some changes to the business pages in response to reader complaints about the removal of the daily stock listing page. A summary strip of important stock, bond and commodity prices now appears at the top of the business page on Tuesday through Saturday. The Money & Markets page will return on Sundays, starting this week. It will contain comprehensive information about stocks of local interest, more complete data on fixed-income securities and a summary of the performance of the most popular mutual funds. The page also includes the Insider Q&A column and the Stock Screener feature. There are improvements at www.timesleader.com as well. Readers are now able to easily construct a list of stocks they want to follow and get detailed investing information on any listed company. There are listings of index and most-active stock prices, and key commodities, such as gold and oil. To see the new setup, go to www.timesleader.com and click on “Stock Quotes” or on “Stocks” under the “News” button.

By E. SCOTT RECKARD Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Most Bank of America Corp. customers will soon see a new charge on their statements — $5 for any month in which they use a Bank of America debit card to make a purchase. Consumers should prepare for more such charges,

analysts say, as big banks strive to recover revenue they have lost to financial reforms adopted in the aftermath of the economic meltdown. The new Bank of America fee will be phased in early next year, said Anne Pace, a spokeswoman for the nation’s largest retail bank. Customers will still be

able to use their cards at the bank’s automated teller machines without being charged, the bank said Thursday. They also can make debit purchases free if they have a mortgage from Bank of America or if they have a total of $20,000 on deposit at Bank of America and in certain accounts at subsidiary

Chesapeake Energy said a well in eastern Ohio’s Harrison County produced up to 9.5 million cubic feet of natural gas and more than 1,400 barrels of natural-gas and oil liquids per day. Two wells in Carroll County, Ohio, and one in Beaver County, Pa., also had strong results.

Posten Cab Company has installed credit card machines that allow passengers to use their credit cards instead of cash.

Posten taking credit cards By ANDREW M. SEDER

aseder@timesleader.com

ILKES-BARRE – For years, the only question Posten Taxi Cab Co. drivers had to ask a fare was “where to?” Now “cash or charge?” can be added to their customer query. Sometime over the next two weeks, the South Wilkes-Barre business will become the first taxi company in the area to accept credit card payments in addition to cash fares. Company President John Katorkas said the 15-cab fleet of Ford Crown Victorias and Dodge Caravans is being equipped with credit card readers over the next week. The investment, which Katorkas would only say was in the thousands, is “worth every penny and then some.” “This represents a serious competitive edge,” Katorkas said. He said data from other cab companies that have installed the devices indicate revenue could quadruple thanks to the devices. Driver tips also should increase. Katorkas said once word gets out that Posten has a credit card pay option, he expects to get more calls for

service. In addition to customer convenience, Katorkas said the safety of drivers factored into the decision to purchase the machines from Creative Mobile Technologies, LLC of New York City. With a rash of delivery and cab drivers being attacked and robbed in recent months, Katorkas said these devices should help lower those occurrences from happening because drivers will be carrying much less money than they do now. Cabbie Leo Yerashunas, of Kingston, looks forward to offering the credit card pay option to passengers. “A lot of people use credit cards to-

day. They don’t even carry cash,” Yerashunas said. He said one out of every three fares needs to stop at an ATM on their route to get money to pay for the ride. In addition to the credit card reader, the company is also set to roll out reloadable gift cards in November. They can be purchased on the company’s website or at its 777 S. Franklin St. office and then can be reloaded with additional funds by holders. Katorkas said it’s a good thing for parents to get for their children at local colleges or for people to get their elderly parents. Katorkas said that while it was briefly considered, the company has decided not to seek a rate hike with the Public Utility Commission to offset the cost of installing the credit card readers. He said the company should offset the costs with increased fares. The technological improvement reminded Katorkas of how the company, in 1947, became the first local taxi company to install two-way radios. He said this latest addition will reshape the company and better prepare it for the future.

WASHINGTON—- A privacyrights group said Thursday it is asking the Federal Trade Commission to examine Facebook’s tracking of Internet users after they log off the world’s most popular social-networking service. The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a letter with the FTC Thursday, according to Marc Rotenberg, the Washington-based group’s executive director. The group is also asking the agency to examine whether Facebook’s new Ticker and Timeline features boost privacy risks for users by combining biographical information in an easily accessible format, said David Jacobs, consumer protection fellow for EPIC. “We would like the FTC to investigate the extent to which Facebook’s recent changes and its secret tracking of users after they have logged out constitute unfair or deceptive business practice,” Jacobs said in a telephone interview. Facebook is adding features to entice users to spend more time on the site and avoid losing them to Apple and Google, which also offer video and music services. Last week, Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg unveiled new ways for members to use the social network to share music, movies, television shows, news and activities such as cooking and exercising. The letter to the FTC references a Sept. 25 blog posting by Australian blogger Nik Cubrilovic, who wrote that Facebook placed so-called “cookies” on users’ browsers that tracked their Internet activity even after they logged out of Facebook. Although Facebook moved to resolve the issue, “it’s unclear how complete the fix is,” Jacobs said. “There was no security or privacy breach,” Andrew Noyes, a Facebook spokesman, said in an email. “Facebook did not store or use any information it should not have.”

Rare earths fall; Toyota seeks alternatives Economy shows incremental improvement By SONJA ELMQUIST Bloomberg News

NEW YORK -- Rare-earth prices are set to extend their decline from records this year as buyers including Toyota and General Electric scale back using the materials in their cars and windmills. Prices for cerium and lanthanum, the most abundant rare-earth elements, will drop by 50 percent in 12 months, Christopher Ecclestone, an analyst at Hallgarten & Co. in New York, has forecast. Neodymium and praseodymium, metals used in permanent rare-earth magnets, may fall as much as 15 percent, he said. Makers of electric cars, wind turbines and oil-refining catalysts have sought to reduce use of the metals after China, which supplies more than 90 percent of the market, said in July 2010 that it would cut exports and clamp down on the industry. That boosted prices, encouraging mining companies to develop new prospects and buyers to find alternatives. “If you think you can keep raising the prices for those materials and still keep

your customers, you’re crazy,” Jack Lifton, co-founder of Technology Metals Research, said in a telephone interview. “The principal customer for rare-earth metals is a global automotive industry using rareearth permanent magnets. That industry will engineer this stuff out.” Declines in August and September pared a five-month, fourfold surge that brought the average price for eight of the most widely used rare-earth oxides to a record $62,068 a metric ton in July, data from consultant Shanghai Steelhome Information show. The average price declined 13 percent from its July peak as of Sept. 27. The 17-member Bloomberg Rare Earth Mineral Resources Index has dropped about 41 percent in the last three months, led by a 60-percent decline in Montrealbased Quest Rare Minerals. While rare-earth prices have fallen, demand will outpace supplies even with new mines in California and Australia expected to come online in 2014, said Mark Smith, CEO of Molycorp Inc., owner of the largest rare-earth deposit outside China.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writers

WASHINGTON — The economy is showing signs of modest improvement — not enough to reduce high unemployment but enough to ease fears that another recession might be near. Fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week, though some of that was due to technical factors. And the economy grew slightly more in the April-June quarter than previously estimated. Growth is also expected to tick up in coming months. Some of the news Thursday wasn’t encouraging. Chief executives of the nation’s largest companies are more pessimistic than they were just three months ago, according to a survey by a trade group, the Business Roundtable. Onlyaboutone-thirdoftheCEOs said they plan to hire or boost spending in the next six months.

The economy expanded at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the AprilJune quarter, up from an estimate of 1 percent a month ago, the Commerce Department said. The improvement reflected modestly higher consumer spending and a bigger boost from trade.

This is now the second-wettest year on record. Now, an additional 4.23 inches will be necessary to break the all-time record set back in 1948. I presume that will happen. For today, we can expect a break from the rain with some sunshine, but today's weather map is showing a strong surge of colder air sinking south out of Canada. This will carve out another zone of low pressure nearby this weekend. The result will be cloudy skies, a chilly north wind and more showers. The additional rainfall will be relatively light. Incidentally, since August 1, I've measured 28.6 inches of rain. Insane! - Tom Clark
