WILKES-BARRE -- Mayor Thomas M. Leighton said he received information Monday that the state Ethics Commission is conducting a preliminary inquiry of his hiring practices, but he strongly denied a full investigation is under way. Leighton provided a copy of a letter from the Pennsylvania

Ethics Commission’s Executive Director John Contino that states, “The Investigative Division is currently unLeighton dertaking a preliminary inquiry” into a complaint filed against the two-term mayor.

The complaint allegedly was filed in objection to Leighton hiring his children and other relatives to city summer positions during his first two terms. According to a release from Leighton, the Contino letter states, “You will be notified of subsequent actions once the preliminary inquiry is completed.” The mayor contends a Sept.

The young American woman had been found guilty of killing her roommate in Italy.

“We’re thankful that Amanda’s nightmare is over,” her younger sister, Deanna Knox, told reporters outside the courthouse. “She suffered for four years for a crime she did not commit.” The eight-member jury acquitted both Knox and Sollecito of murder after a court-ordered review of the DNA evidence cast serious doubts over the main DNA evidence linking the two to the crime. The discrediting of the DNA evidence was believed to have been the fatal blow to the prosecution’s case in the absence of a clear motive.

Gov. Corbett proposes a plan applying only to counties with gas-drilling wells.

Luzerne County wouldn’t be permitted to collect a natural gas impact fee proposed by the governor because it has no active drilling sites. Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposal, unveiled Monday, would allow counties to charge a fee of up to $160,000 spread over 10 years on each active well. The fee would generate revenue for counties and municipalities “experiencing the actual impacts of the drilling,” a release said. The state would receive 25 percent of the revenue, with 70 percent of that going to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to maintain and repair roads in counties hosting drilling sites. The fee won’t generate money for other counties or municipalities to repair roads that have increased wear and tear from heavy truck traffic related to drilling ac-

DORRANCE TOWNSHIP

DETAILS

Firm lacks permits, zoning officer says

At issue is a planned storage area for propane near an I-81 interchange. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP.— In his report to the township supervisors on Monday night, Alan Snelson, zoning officer, said he has sent an enforcement notice to Button Oil Co. of Mountain Top, in regard to the company failing to obtain appropriate permits for construction work under way at a proposed propane storage facility near the Dorrance interchange of I-81. Snelson said Button is building foundations for two storage tanks without having made application to him for required zoning and construction permits. This has been an ongoing issue that Snelson said had been scheduled for a hearing before District Judge Ronald Swank in early September but was continued and has yet to be re-scheduled. Snelson said he wants Button to cease until all the permits have been secured and the project given formal township approval. Button’s stated intention is to create a storage site in order to supply delivery trucks for an expanding propane business. In another matter, the board of

supervisors was presented with a multi-page preliminary injunction that Kevin Casey, Small Mountain Road, has filed in Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas against the supervisors, Pennsy Supply Inc. and Solicitor James Schneider. William Higgs of Mountain Top, counsel for Casey, said a civil action has been submitted to the court over what he described as the supervisors conducting non-public meetings on the proposed expansion of Pennsy’s quarry operation. Casey’s property is located near the quarry; and he opposes the expansion. Higgs said he and his client have video evidence of a non-public meeting between Pennsy officials and the supervisors. The attorney said that Casey believes the supervisors are trying to circumvent public challenges in order to secure approval by the state Department of Environmental for the project over Casey’s objections. Casey declined to comment about the injunction, deferring instead to Higgs. In regular business, the supervisors approved subdivision permits for Harold and Marie Levine and announced that meetings on the 2012 budget have been scheduled on Oct. 11 and Nov. 1 at 6 p.m.

On probation for drugs, woman sees new charge Kimberly Lykon was arrested Monday after police stopped her on a vehicle check. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

SWOYERSVILLE – A woman sentenced in August to probation for drug offenses and for leaving her children unsupervised was arrested early Monday morning after police alleged they found crack cocaine inside her car. Kimberly Lykon, 31, of Scott Street, Swoyersville, was stopped by police when they spotted her driving a vehicle with a faulty brake light on Shoemaker Street at about 12:15 a.m. Police said Lykon made several movements inside the vehicle that caused the officer to become suspicious. Police allege Lykon surrendered a pipe and crack cocaine she tried to hide in the vehicle after being advised a dog would be used to search the car.

Lykon was arraigned by District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston on charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $7,500 bail. In unrelated cases, Lykon was sentenced by a Luzerne County judge to 1-year probation in August on charges Wilkes-Barre police found her with a crack pipe in a parked vehicle on Prospect Street on Aug. 24, 2010. Swoyersville police charged Lykon with leaving three children, ages 8, 5 and 3, unsupervised inside her residence on Sept. 22, 2010. Police also charged Lykon with possessing a crack pipe during a traffic stop for a headlight violation on Slocum Street on Oct. 9, 2010, according to court records. A preliminary hearing on the latest charges is scheduled on Oct. 13 before District Judge David Barilla in Swoyersville.

Cordaro lawyer denounces FBI, prosecutors in bribe conviction Times Leader staff

The attorney for former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro leveled a new round of accusations against U.S. prosecutors and FBI agents in Cordaro’s June conviction on bribery and related charges. In a reply to post-trial motions, attorney William Costopoulos repeated prior statements that a key witness, Al Hughes, lied under oath about his gambling habits. He also stated the FBI had intimidated “potential defense witnesses” such as Glen Gress, who could have testified to the unreliability of Hughes’ state-

COURT BRIEF SCRANTON -- Kyle Leslie, 25, of Edwardsville, has been sentenced by a federal judge to five years in prison for trafficking in more than 50 grams of crack cocaine in Luzerne County in 2009. Senior U.S. District Court Judge A. Richard Caputo sentenced Leslie on Sept. 30.

ments. The brief states Gress told a private investigator that the FBI visited him and said he shouldn’t testify because that would bring his family into the case and “you don’t want that to happen.” Costopoulos stated Cordaro had a large amount of cash at home because he often saved about half his income. The brief includes a sheet showing that, from 2004 through 2007, Cordaro made about $143,000 to $189,000 in his law practice and $23,000 to $81,000 in rental income, saving $502,005 in that span. Leslie was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2009 as a result of an investigation by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and Kingston police. Leslie pleaded guilty to the charge. Caputo also ordered that Leslie serve four years of supervised release after his prison sentence and pay a $1,000 fine and a $100 special assessment.

Eileen Kenyon, Pat Parks and Judy Barr, members of the Downtown Wilkes-Barre Residents Association, are planning an Oct. 17 forum for the Luzerne County Council candidates.

DRA will host voters forum

Wilkes-Barre group wants residents to get to know county council candidates. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Downtown Residents Association will host a forum so that voters can “get to know” the 28 candidates for Luzerne County Council. Organizer Pat Parks said the county council election is historic because of the change in form of government to home rule, eliminating commissioners and putting leadership and policy making in the hands of the council and a hired manager. “We want residents and voters from throughout the county to attend,” Parks said. “This election affects each and every one of us.” Parks, coordinator of the association, Eileen Kenyon and Judy Barr are serving as a three-person committee for the event set for Oct. 17, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at

Wilkes University. “With 28 candidates, it’s difficult to decide who to vote for,” Parks said. “This forum will give county residents the opportunity to get a look at the candidates, listen to their platforms and ask questions.” The Times Leader will co-sponsor the event. “This is a pivotal election for Luzerne County,” said Joe Butkiewicz, Times Leader vice president and executive editor. “We’re proud to work with the downtown residents to provide all voters an opportunity to meet these candidates.” Wes Parks, Pat’s husband, will serve as moderator. Parks said the DRA has about 110 members. She said the group meets regularly and provides informational programs for downtown residents as well as forums on topics that are of interest countywide. Last October, the DRA held a forum on home rule government.

I F YO U P L A N TO G O What: Forum for candidates for Luzerne County Council When: Oct. 17, 6 p.m. Where: Henry Student Center, 84 W. South St., 2nd-floor ballroom. Parking will be available. More information: Call 826-0410; e-mail pparks2@verizon.net

Parks said 15 candidates have committed to attending the forum. She said candidates can still call and confirm their participation. Each candidate will be given 2 to 3 minutes to state their case why voters should choose them, Parks said. After the presentations, questions will be asked and each candidate will respond. “We want to be fair to all candidates,” Parks said. “We may ask each candidate a different question, or we may ask them all the same question. That’s for the committee to decide.”

HARRISBURG – Two players matched all five winning numbers drawn in Monday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game so the jackpot will be worth $125,000. Lottery officials said 86 players matched four numbers and won $286 each; 3,082 players matched three numbers and won $13.50 each; and 41,339 players matched two numbers and won $1 each. Thursday’s “Pennsylvania Match 6 Lotto” jackpot will be worth at least $3.4 million because no player holds a ticket with one row that matches all six winning numbers drawn in Monday’s game.

1 officer promoted; another is sworn in Borough Council member Gary Mack attended to thank Kingston officials for the part they played in coordinating an effort to share resources in maintaining security in the two towns during the evacuation stage of September’s flooding. “Edwardsville was forgotten by the National Guard but not by our neighbors in Kingston,” Mack said. After the meeting, Haggerty said that at a Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency meeting on Sept. 16, National Guard deployment was announced for Plymouth, Kingston, Forty Fort and Swoyersville. Edwardsville officials who were present at the meeting were upset that their borough had been excluded. After that meeting, Haggerty

and the other Kingston officials approached Edwardsville officials to plan a joint effort to ensure the safety of persons and property during and after the evacuation. “A lot more can be done in regionalization then when you stand alone,” Mack said. Also in regard to the flood, Municipal Administrator Paul Keating said that despite the intense planning and preparation drills that Kingston undertakes, the municipality may have ended up being woefully unprepared if the levees had failed. At a post-action review meeting after the flooding, officials identified the need for boats and a mobile communications center in case a disaster like the one experienced in September should ever devolve into a fullblown catastrophe. Kingston officials now plan to coordinate with several other West Side communities, including Forty Fort and Pringle, in order to apply for grant funding for the needed equipment.

LOCAL Wife gets 12-24 for killing spouse Josephine Werkheiser had pleaded guilty but mentally ill to 3rd-degree murder in 2007 shooting. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Ross Township woman charged in the 2007 shooting death of her husband was sentenced Monday to 12 to 24 years in state prison. “I loved him and I’m sorry,” Josephine Werkheiser told her husband’s family. “I didn’t mean to hurt him.” Werkheiser, 56, of Creekside Lane, had been charged with the shooting death of her husband of 15 years sometime between July 23 and

Werkheiser

July 29, 2007. Investigators said Werkheiser shot her husband, Charles Werkheiser, 53, once in the head while he was sleeping because she suspected he was having an af-

fair. Police said Werkheiser also shot herself in the head with a .22-caliber handgun while in the home. In July, Werkheiser pleaded guilty but mentally ill to a third-degree murder charge, leading to her sentencing Monday by county Judge William Amesbury. Werkheiser received more than three years credit for time served.

Political flyer irks mayor of W-B Twp.

Amesbury said he took Charles Werkheiser’s death, as well as his wife’s mental health status, into consideration in handing down his sentence, and that a balance in sentencing was needed to give the Werkheiser family closure and to help rehabilitate and address Josephine Werkheiser’s mental health needs. “I did think about this a long, long time,” Amesbury said. Assistant District Attorney Molly Hanlon Mirabito, who prosecuted the case with fellow ADA Michelle Hardik, said she had asked for the maximum allowable sentence of 20 to 40 years, but that she accepts the judge’s sentencing. Charles Werkheiser’s only child, Margy Werkheiser, said she felt Jo-

sephine Werkheiser should have received the maximum sentence for taking her father’s life. “I’m not happy; I wanted more,” Margy Werkheiser said, adding it’s hard for her and her 10-year-old son to accept their father and grandfather is gone. Josephine Werkheiser’s attorneys, William Ruzzo and Cheryl SobeskiReedy, said they believed their client’s mental health status has improved thanks to medication and therapy. The extent of Werkheiser’s condition has not been made public. “With the proper treatment, she will be deterred from future crimes,” Ruzzo said, asking the judge for the lowest allowable sentence.

Alleged shooter captured A man wanted on charges he shot another man in the leg during a robbery in Hanover Township more than two years ago was captured Saturday. Robert Anthony Wiggins, 21, of Wilkes-Barre, was one of three men arrested when city police and agents with the state Office of Attorney General’s Drug Task Force executed search warrants at two apartments at 146 Midland Court and 86 Midland Wiggins Court. Wiggins was captured inside 86 Midland Court, police said. Authorities allege they found cocaine, marijuana, scales and packaging materials inside the apartments. Phillip Swartely, 18, and Talin Wade, 23, both of Wilkes-Barre, were charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Swartely also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Swartely and Wade remained jailed Monday at the county prison for lack of $7,500 bail each. Wiggins remained jailed for lack of $200,000 bail on six counts of criminal conspiracy, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count each of robbery, burglary, reckless endangerment and terroristic threats. Township police filed those charges against Wiggins on Feb. 26, 2009, alleging he shot Muadhahin Sharif, 28, in the leg inside a residence at Hanover Village apartments on Jan. 18, 2009. PLYMOUTH

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- Mayor Carl Kuren on Monday night addressed a flyer that had been circulating in the township, which stated that he had engaged in “questionable practices” in regard to the use of township property. Specifically, the flyer accused Kuren of utilizing the township bus to transport political supporters to various events. The flyer indicated that it represented the views of the “Democrat W H A T ’ S N E X T team.” The next meeting of Replying to the council will be Nov. accusations, Ku7 at 7:30 p.m. ren said the bus was used for the benefit of township residents in general and that preference in regard to use of the bus had never been given to his political supporters. “What do you know about this?” Kuren, a Republican, asked Democratic council member Michael Wildes. “I know nothing about this,” said Wildes. “I certainly did not write it.” Several in the audience at the council meeting indicated they supported the use of the bus for such activities as senior citizen field trips, church CCD trips to sporting activities, Scouting outings and transportation to day camp for township children. Kuren said he believed that he would be vindicated in the next election, citing his continued service to the community. In another matter, township Administrator Mike Revitt said the township needs to remove a 10,000-gallon fuel tank on a property on Shannon Street. Although the township had demolished a factory on the property in 2008, officials did not know that the tank was there until neighbors reported that recent flooding on the property had contained “a strange film.” Investigation by township officials revealed the presence of the tank. “This was not the fault of the township,” said council President Mary Yuknavich, indicating the state Department of Environmental Protection had a record of the tank being there but did not share the information with the township during the original demolition of the structure at the site. She said she hoped that the township could recoup some of the costs of removing the tank from the property. Revitt said the soil will need to be tested for toxicity at further cost to the township. “We have been in touch with state officials,” said Yuknavich, “but have not yet heard back.” Yuknavich said she would share any further information on cleanup on the Shannon Street property at the next township council meeting.

Opening statements begin in Zola trial Mountain Top man charged in 2009 stabbing death of Rosemarie Cave, 35, in her Plymouth home. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County jury was selected Monday to hear the homicide trial of Robert George Zola. A jury of six men and six women, as well as two alternate jurors – one woman and one man, will hear opening statements and testimony set to begin this morning. Zola, 46, of Mountain Top, is charged in the Dec. 14, 2009, stabbing death of 35-year-old Rosemarie Cave in her Plymouth home. County Judge Joseph Cosgrove is

presiding over the case. Assistant District Attorneys Chester Dudick and Alexis Falvello are prosecuting. Zola is represented by attorneys Zola Ferris Webby and Joseph Yeager. Zola has previously asked Cosgrove a number of times for new attorneys or to to be allowed to represent himself in the case. All of those requests were denied by the judge, most recently last week. The trial is expected to last into late this week. According to court papers, Zola pulled Cave into the kitchen at a residence at 132 Nottingham St., Plymouth, and stabbed her multiple times with a kitchen knife as her then-17-

year-old daughter slept in a secondfloor bedroom around 2:30 a.m. Zola allegedly told investigators he went to Cave’s apartment to pick up his belongings around midnight. He said he saw Cave sitting in a pickup talking to another man around 1:15 a.m. As Cave opened the door to her apartment, Zola pulled her inside and attacked her, the criminal complaint says. Jeffrey Walter Roberts told investigators he met Cave at a tavern in Wright Township and gave her a ride home. Roberts was behind Cave when Zola allegedly stabbed her, the complaint says. Roberts drove away and called 911 when he reached Main Street. Investigators said a broken 8-inch kitchen knife was found next to Cave’s body.

Foundation gives grants to flood-hit nonprofits The largest amount, $175,000, will to the Wyoming Valley chapter of the Red Cross. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

The Luzerne Foundation has presented grants totaling $310,000 to area nonprofit organizations to help with flood recovery efforts. Because of the generosity of caring friends and donors, said foundation President and CEO Charles Barber, the foundation awarded the following grants: • $175,000 to the American Red Cross of Wyoming Valley. • $25,000 to the American Red Cross of Greater Hazleton. • $20,000 to the Salvation Army of Wyoming Valley. • $10,000 to Catholic Social Services. • $10,000 to Volunteers of Amer-

employ workers and re-establish themselves.” The grant to the Recovery Fund for Business designates $20,000 for immediate needs and the remainder for a challenge grant program that will match donations on a one-toone basis up to $50,000. Bill Jones, chief operating officer of Volunteers of America, said Barber was the first person to visit the organization’s flooded downtown Wilkes-Barre building and offer help. Barber said the foundation has no specific disaster recovery fund, and recovery grants could have come from new donations or donor requests for distribution of existing funds. He thanked donors and friends of the foundation who made the grants possible, but noted unmet needs still exist and encouraged more donations.

Man charged after capture A man jumped through a second floor window in an attempt to elude capture after police allege he assaulted a former girlfriend in front of her child, according to charges filed. Alfonzo Glenn, 39, of Green Street, Ashley, was arraigned Monday by District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston on charges of simple assault, reckless endangerment, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail. Police allege Glenn threatened and assaulted the woman inside her car because she refused to give him a ride to a residence on Sambourne Street to buy drugs on Sunday. At the time of the alleged assault, Glenn was free on $2,500 bail on charges he dropped a bag of crack inside the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino on Feb. 18, 2010. Glenn is facing a trial in Luzerne County Court on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, court records indicate.

Health care law looms as issue for high court

Wall Street protesters dress as zombies

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The nine justices of the Supreme Court, who serve without seeking election, soon will have to decide whether to insert themselves into the center of the presidential campaign next year. The high court began its new term Monday, and President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which affects almost everyone in the country, is squarely in its sights. The Obama administration’s request last week that the justices resolve whether the health care law is constitutional makes it more likely than not that they will deliver their verdict by June 2012, just as Obama and his Republican opponent charge toward the fall campaign. Other high-profile cases on the horizon concern immigration and affirmative action, hotbutton issues at any time and only more so in an election year.

giving up their campaign Monday, with organizers urging participants to dress up as what they called corporate zombies and to take part in a rally against police brutality. Group spokesman Patrick Bruner urged protesters to dress up as zombies and eat Monopoly money to let financial workers “see us reflecting the metaphor of their actions.” As the encampment slowly began waking up Monday morning, several dozen police officers stood in formation across the street.

Scientist wins posthumous Nobel

A pioneering researcher was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday, three days after dying of pancreatic cancer without ever knowing he was about to be honored for his immune system work that he had used to try to prolong his own life. The Nobel committee said it was unaware Canadian-born cell biologist Ralph Steinman had already died when it awarded the prize to him, American Bruce Beutler and French scientist Jules Hoffmann. Since the committee is only supposed to consider living scientists, the Nobel Foundation held an emergency meeting Monday and said the decision on the $1.5 million prize will remain unchanged.

Less likely, though still with a chance to make it to the court this year are cases involving gay marriage and the landmark Voting Rights Act that some Southern states argue has outlived its usefulness. Just over a third of the 48 cases the court has so far agreed to hear are of interest to the business sector, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But that list includes few big-ticket cases, unlike last term’s victories for business interests in major cases seeking to limit consumer and employee access to the courts. Foremost among those was the decision to throw out a class-action lawsuit on behalf of up to 1.6 million female Wal-Mart employees. The court is beginning its second year with the same complement of justices after consecutive terms of welcoming new members, Sonia Sotomayor and then Elena Kagan.

New H.S. change orders discussed Total cost of change orders for the building could amount to more than $1 million. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. -- The Dallas School Board on Monday night discussed construction change orders for the new high school project at a meeting just before the board celebrated W H A T ’ S N E X T at a dedication of the The next School new build- Board meeting will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 10 ing. in the adminisBob tration building. Nesbit, of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, told board members four change orders will be on the agenda for next week’s regular session, including those for issues relating to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Those change orders included adding handrails to areas on the roof and in the auditorium, adding maximum occupancy signs to certain spaces and fees for the rental of dehumidifiers to reduce moisture in the auditorium so flooring could be installed. The total cost of the proposed change orders is about $21,248, bringing the total cost of construction change orders to about $952,000. Nesbit also said there is a pending construction bill from Charles Corby & Sons for the cost of asphalt and other services, which totaled about $158,264. Board member Russell Bigus wanted to know whether the school board could seek damages because this additional cost would bring the total of change orders to more than $1 million. Nesbit said this cost was foreseen in the beginning of the construction process, and it is covered in a clause in the construction contract.

Approximately $13 million sewer plan unveiled By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent

W H AT ’ S N E X T ?

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- A standing-room-only crowd of about150 people crammed the township building Monday night to hear about a sewer plan that is nearing reality almost 40 years after it was first discussed. Board of Supervisors Chairman Gary Zingaretti detailed the history of the plan, which started when Act 537, a state law governing sanitary disposal of sewage, was passed in 1968. In 1973, the township adopted its first Act 537 plan. Four engineering companies and several appeals later, Zingaretti said, the state Department of Environmental Resources ordered the township to adopt a plan that called for sewers to be installed in Llewellyn Corners, Forest Park, Country Club Estates and Trailwood. The last appeal was in 2008, Zingaretti said, and since then the township has been proceeding with the many steps of implementing what is now known as the DEP’s ruling. Five plans were reviewed, ranging in cost from $13 million to $21 million, he said, and supervisors decided to proceed with the least expensive plan. It calls for the township to connect to the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Author-

ity through the Plains Township lines. If the DEP approves that plan, Zingaretti said, current estimates are that each of the approximately 480 units that will be required to connect will pay a one-time $500 connection fee, plus the cost of running the lines and connections, plus an estimated $91.50 a month. He stressed these are only estimates and actual construction costs and grant availability could affect the estimates. Before fielding more than 45 minutes of questions, Zingaretti said it will be at least late 2013 or early 2014 before work starts on the sewers. He said the first step is to get the plan in to DEP for approval so the township can seek bids and get a firm cost for the project, and begin pursuing grant money. “If there’s one thing you leave here with tonight, it’s that until we have an approved plan, we

Zingaretti answered questions clarifyingpointsraisedduringthe presentation, as well as some raised by residents concerned about their own specific situations. Some asked about shared access right of way issues and other unique situations that Zingaretti said would have to be reviewed individually. Others wanted to know about issues such as what would happen if sewer project work affected fresh springs and cut off the water supply. They also wanted to know what would happen if the sewer’s path ran through a lot of rock. Zingaretti said many questions will need to be answered at a later time. In Loving Memory

OTHER OPINION: ROONEY RETIRES

Andy ‘everyman’ has the last word

ID YOU EVER notice that Andy Rooney was the TV equivalent of the cracker-barrel philosopher? The longtime “60 Minutes” essayist, who is stepping down at the age of 92, was a sophisticated former war correspondent, but in his brief commentaries he increasingly played the role of the curmudgeon whose crankiness concealed homespun wisdom. That put him in the company of Will Rogers and Mark Twain, but there also was a little Jerry Seinfeld in him. Or the other way around: Seinfeld’s observational humor was part of the Rooney repertoire first. The cracker-barrel philosopher is a familiar figure in American culture. Long before the “tea party” declared war on outof-touch elites, there was a cult of the common man who didn’t need book learnin’ to get to the heart of things and who expressed bafflement at the idiocies of the people who run things. That was Andy Rooney. But Rooney was also the aging ev-

eryman who finds himself bewildered by bizarre popular culture, ever-more-complicated consumer goods and other unsettling aspects of contemporary life. Like other icons, Rooney encouraged parody, and in his later years, he arguably parodied himself. Late in his run the objects of his observational humor often weren’t worth observing. Overall, however, Rooney was pithy, amusing and, yes, philosophical. Had he retired 10 years ago, there would no doubt have been a search for a new crackerbarrel philosopher to dispense down-home insights. But today there are thousands, maybe millions, of Rooneys, except that they hold forth not on network television but in cyberspace. Sometimes encouraged by traditional broadcasters, Americans have taken to the electronic ether to express opinions that are often, like Rooney’s riffs, short and sarcastic. To which Rooney might reply: What’s the deal with all these blogs and tweets? Los Angeles Times

Attorney partnership helps Luzerne County kids, families FOR ONE year, North Penn Legal Services has been engaged in a relationship with the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas and the county’s Children and Youth Services that has produced nothing but positive results for children. Through a contract with the county, NPLS employs two attorneys to serve as “guardians ad litem.” These attorneys focus all their energy on preserving the legal rights of children to live in a safe and secure environment, where their developmental and emotional needs can be met, no matter whether those children are living at home, in foster care or in an institutional setting. These guardians are appointed by the court to represent children in a civil process called “dependency proceedings.” (This is not the criminal process in which juvenile offenders are charged with breaking the law). In this process, there is a lawyer for the Office of Children and Youth and a lawyer for the parents. It follows that the child, whose safety is at issue, should have a lawyer to advocate for what is in that child’s best interest, a standard that is required by law in the Juvenile Act. Megan Anderson and Amanda Young, the court-appointed guardians, have improved security and developmental op-

Their job is not to rubber stamp the recommendations of Children and Youth, nor to push the child’s point of view. They take an objective position based on what their research leads them to believe is the child’s best interests, which includes the legal interests. This can easily put them at odds with the court, Children and Youth, the child or some combination of all three. To do their jobs effectively, the guardians engage in much background investigation, which consists of getting to know their clients, attending meetings and case reviews with Children and Youth caseworkers and parents, and following up with other people who are involved in their clients’ lives, such as therapists, teachers and other family members. They then appear before the court three days each week, advocating for a court order that takes into account the needs of the child. The NPLS guardians handled 285 cases. Each child was provided with strong advocacy and an objective voice with which to be heard. Attorneys Anderson and Young’s effectiveness is apparent in the outcomes of

their cases. Many of these children have been safely returned to their families, are secure in a new family with adoptive parents or have had services provided for needs that were previously unidentified. Recently, a guardian represented a teenage client in her choice to be adopted. This young client finally found what she referred to as her “forever family” after many years in different foster cares. The guardian was there to make sure the teen’s voice was heard and that her choice was considered. The guardians couldn’t possibly have been this effective on their own. This project owes its success to the fact that Children and Youth identified the need for children to have strong advocates and the Court of Common Pleas, specifically Judge Tina Polachek Gartley, agreed. What resulted is a collaboration of concerned individuals committed to holding each other accountable in order to ensure the safety and security of the children whose lives have been threatened with so much instability. This might not be a unique partnership, but it is caring and effective, and NPLS is grateful to be a part of it. Victoria A. Coyle is executive director of Bethlehem-based North Penn Legal Services, which maintains offices in communities such as Hazleton, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.

e in Luzerne County have a second chance at good government, but much depends on whom we select in the upcoming elections for county council. We have many individuals running for those 11 seats, and it is imperative we elect honest, dedicated and honorable men and women. I know and am proud to call one of these individuals my friend: Harry Haas. Harry is a teacher in the Dallas School District. He has served on community and church boards, is a member of the WilkesBarre Downtown Residents Association and the Luzerne County Historical Society and teaches a citizenship class in the community. One of Harry’s largest concerns is the size of the debt that Luzerne County has incurred – almost a half billion dollars. That debt will hinder county programs and plans and drain resources until it is reduced. Harry believes that one of the most important functions the new council will have is the selection of a county manager. The manager will oversee the day-to-day running of county government with oversight from county council. This man or woman must be apolitical and experi-

enced, or we might well find we have merely rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. Harry will work across the political spectrum to ensure that we hire the right individual for that position and that – in this first and most critical term for our county council – the standards and expectations are set high to ensure an honest and honorable governing body.

terizations to the contrary, the state ethics commission has already found reasonable cause to authorize a full-scale investigation” into the complaint.” Larry Holeva, managing editor at The Citizens’ Voice, said the paper’s reports were based on a letter from the Ethics Commission. “The Ethics Commission sent letters to two independent sources saying that a full investigation had been launched. Both of those complainants received subsequent letters this past weekend saying that the earlier letter advising a full investigation was being initiated was sent in error.” Holeva would not disclose to

tivity in neighboring counties. However, the governor’s spokesman, Eric Shirk, said counties and municipalities have the power to impose weight limits on their roads. Special permits could be required for heavier vehicles, and the government entity may require bonds to cover road damage as part of the permitting process, Shirk said. The proposal could also provide some benefits related to two natural gas pipelines – one under construction and the other planned – in Dallas Township, Shirk said. The state’s share of the fee would provide up to $2 million for the Public Utility Commission to inspect and enforce natural gas pipeline standards, he said. Corbett’s proposal increases the dollar amount of bonds that must be posted by natural gas drillers from $25,000 up to $250,000. It also increases the

Michak said it’s important to note the high court’s refusal to hear the case “doesn’t mean the petition had no merit. It simply means it wasn’t a case the court was going to take. The U.S. Supreme Court can’t fix every mistake and every error made by a lower court.” Michak also speculated that Lokuta’s petition was filed at a particularly bad time: The court was not in session and such petitions piled up dramatically. “I’m

whom that letter was sent. Holeva would not provide copies of the letter to The Times Leader. He said it was “too early to say” whether the paper would print a retraction. “We are not in a position to comment on this matter as yet,” Holeva said. “We are still gathering our information.” On Sept. 29, Leighton said, a Citizens’ Voice reporter showed him a copy of a letter that indicated the Ethics Commission is investigating his practice of hiring family members for summer work. He said the name of the person the letter was addressed to was blacked out. Leighton 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. He is

opposed by Republican Lisa Cope and Libertarian Betsy Summers. Leighton came under fire earlier this year 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. Robin Hittie, spokeswoman for the state Ethics Commission, said complainants and subjects are not bound by confidentiality and can reveal the infor-

mation if they so desire. Leighton said last week he doesn’t think the ethics review will adversely affect his candidacy. He said voters will look at his record and look at how the city has improved in the last sevenplus years since taking office. “As I stated last week, the Ethics Commission must investigate all complaints frivolous or otherwise, and a preliminary inquiry has not yet established that it will progress beyond that,” Leighton said Monday. “I think it is essential for the voters of the city of Wilkes-Barre to have the confidence that when they read information from a reputable media source that they can be assured that the information is factual. I have every expectation that when confronted with proof of inaccurate reporting that they will print the appropriate corrections.”

The allocation of revenue to only some areas would create a “fragmented patch work of ‘have and have-not’ communities across Pennsylvania,” said Yudichak, who believes the state should handle the fee collection and revenue disbursement. “How can you develop secondary markets for natural gas in Pennsylvania like power genera-

tion and natural gas vehicles if the bulk of the money only goes to those counties that host a Marcellus Shale rig?” Yudichak said. He said he and other senators from both parties have been working on natural gas legislationsinceJanuary,hopingtopass a plan by the end of the year. Senators have agreed on the need for bond and setback increases, but he expects a lot of debate over the impact fee. Dr. Tom Jiunta, spokesman for the local Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition, said he was less than thrilled with several aspects of the proposal, saying the fee should be volume-based rather than flat, that more money should go to the DEP to hire inspectors and that counties that don’t have wells but are still impacted should get a cut. He’s concerned there is no mention of funding for the state Growing Greener program and no moratorium on drilling in state forests and parks is included. And he wanted to see bigger setbacks from water sources. Jiunta also said provisions are

needed for wells that are re-stimulated. “If an operator comes back five years later to re-stimulate a well, they would need the sameamountoftruckstocomein re-frack it,” Jiunta said, referring to the hydraulic fracturing that stimulates the release of gas from the shale.

She said she was pleased the governor increased drilling setbacks, though she expects debate over “what distance is sufficient to prevent damage to streams and lakes when spills occur.” Times Leader staff writer Steve Mocarsky contributed to this story.

not willing to say that being stuck in that large pool means they do less scrutiny” in deciding which courses to hear, but the huge number of petitions that were denied Monday “certainly demonstrates the difficulty of presenting to the court something that is compelling enough that warrants their attention.” Lokuta was removed from the bench Dec. 8, 2008, after several weeks of testimony at a trial prosecuted by the state Judicial Conduct Board. Witnesses portrayed her as a courtroom bully; the court determined she had violated courtroom rules. Lokuta argued she was the victim of an orchestrated revenge from then-judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan. Lokuta, the first woman on the Luzerne County bench, said the pair

wanted to oust her after she had reported their wrongdoings to the state. Conahan and Ciavarella have since been convicted on federal corruption charges and are serving long prison sentences. In the petition to have the Supreme Court take the case, Michak argued the judge in Lokuta’s trial had a conflict of interest because he had done legal work as an attorney for Robert Powell, a co-owner of the private juvenile detention center that was at the heart of the cases against Ciavarella and Conahan. He also argued Lokuta was denied due process in her trial, and that key information was withheld from her before and during the trial. “We’re still confident the grounds we raised in the petition were solid grounds for an appeal,” Michak said. “We’re still

confident Judge Lokuta was not afforded a fair trial, and at the very least she should have been given that opportunity before being removed from the bench. Lokuta, 57, is in the process of opening her own law office, and Michak predicted she “will be very successful.”

So, with the blessing of township commissioners, Sabol began publicizing a toy drive with the municipal building as a drop-off and distribution point. “We have already helped over 20 families, and appointments for the smallest victims of the flood to shop – at no charge, of course – can still be made,” Sabol said. Distribution of the toys will continue through the month of October, although the collection phase is over. “This project kind of took on a life of its own. I’d give a play kitchen set away and I’d get two more donated. Now, we’re at capacity,” Sabol said. There are board games, bicycles, play kitchens and play work benches, about 20 boxes full of electronic baby toys, rocking horses, dolls, cars and trucks – just about everything imaginable.

Even if prosecutors appeal the acquittal to Italy’s highest court, nothing in Italian law would prevent her from returning home to Seattle. An Italian lawmaker who has championed her case, Rocco Girlanda, said she was due to fly out today from Rome. The jury upheld Knox’s conviction on a charge of slander for accusing bar owner Diya “Patrick” Lumumba of carrying out the killing. But he set the sentence at three years, meaning for time served.

Sabol said she, like her firefighter husband, Paul, would have been out helping flood victims directly if she weren’t busy caring for her two children – Amy, 4, and Paul, 5 – during the day. With long-distance clerical help from Piccolotti, Sabol takes care of the leg work in the township with the help of a few other volunteers, she said. She chose to coordinate a toy drive because she realizes how important play is to a child’s learning and development “and I know how my kids would feel if they lost all their toys,” Sabol said. ed,” the Kercher family said in a statement. “We still trust the Italian justice system and hope that the truth will eventually emerge.” Also convicted in separately was Rudy Hermann Guede. Guede saw his sentence cut to 16 years in his final appeal. Lawyers for Knox and Sollecito charged that Guede was the sole killer, which the prosecution and a lawyer for the Kercher family rejected. Prosecutors maintain that Knox’s DNA was found on the handle of a kitchen knife believed to be the murder weapon. They said Sollecito’s DNA was on the clasp of Kercher’s bra as part of a mix of evidence that also included the victim’s genetic profile. But two defense experts found police had made errors in evidence-collecting and that belowstandard testing and possible contamination raised doubts over the attribution of DNA traces collected from the crime scene 46 days after the murder.

TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Freeman threw for 287 yards and a touchdown, LeGarrette Blount ran for 127 yards and a score, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-17 on Monday night. Freeman, who ran for a touchdown early in the game, scrambled for a huge first down BUCCANEERS on the winning drive as the Buccaneers (3-1) won their third COLTS consecutive game. The Colts fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1998, Peyton Manning’s rookie season. Manning has watched all four games, unable to play because of a neck injury. Curtis Painter started this one, filling in for injured backup Kerry Collins and played better than most expected. Painter threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns, both long ones to Pierre Garcon. He wasn’t nearly as effective down the stretch. Garcon, who had 12 catches for 149 yards in the first three games, had 146 yards receiving on two touches against Tampa Bay. Painter completed 9 of 20 passes for 225 yards, starting in place of Kerry Collins, who has concussion symptoms. His 87-yard pass to Garcon was the team’s longest play this season, the fifth-longest pass play in team history and longer than anything Manning has thrown in his NFL career. The longest play before this game for the team playing without Manning had been 36 yards. Freeman kept the Buccaneers in it. He had a1-yard plunge in the second quarter and a 13-yard TD pass to Preston Parker late in the third. Freeman was 23 of 37 passing for 269 yards. Tampa Bay’s biggest problem — aside from the two long TD passes — was penalties. The Buccaneers were flagged 10 times for 75 yards in three quarters. Indianapolis’ Dwight Freeney had a costly one, too. He was flagged for being offside on a third-and-19 play. The Buccaneers converted on the ensuing

While Sabathia didn’t make it through the sixth Monday, Verlander was still hitting 100 mph on the stadium radar gun in the eighth. Valverde took over in the ninth — and another dramatic ending See TIGERS, Page 4B

Napoli’s blast leads Rangers past Rays Texas’ bullpen has just enough to hold off Tampa Bay comeback effort. By By FRED GOODALL AP Baseball Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Back on the road in the playoffs, the Texas Rangers won again. Colby Lewis outpitched AllStar David Price, Mike Napoli hit a go-ahead two-run homer and the defending AL champions survived a shaky night from the bullpen to hold off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Monday night in Game 3 of their postseason series.

Dallas’ defense shows its pride

Dallas defender Dave Miller runs to the ball during a game with Coughlin on Monday.

Even with new faces in the lineup, the Mountaineers continue their tradition of being a stingy powerhouse in WVC Division I. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

You have to go back more than a year -- to the first regular season game between the Mountaineers and Crusaders in 2010 -- to find a goal scored against Dallas that wasn’t on a penalty kick. That includes a loss last year in the District 2 Class 2A playoffs to Holy Redeemer. The Mountaineers (6-0) also ran their conference winning streak to 22, with their last setback coming neatly two years ago to Wyoming Valley West in October 2009. “It was unfortunate we gave up a goal and we didn’t think we should have but those are the breaks,” Dallas coach Chris Scharff said. “We weren’t happy giving up the goal, but what are you gonna do?” In 2010, the Mountaineers’ defense was led by Zach Dutter, Christian Pyros and Bryan Brown. Those three graduated and but the team reloaded,

DALLAS – Teams in the Wyoming Valley Conference might want to start referring to Dallas’ defense as a blue and white curtain. The stingy Mountaineers lost a strong trio from that stifling unit in 2010, which only allowed two goals. But the team has reloaded and once again is the top force in the WVC’s Division I, entering Monday’s match versus Coughlin having not allowed up a tally in five games. Dallas’ defense only gave up six shots on goal to the always explosive Crusaders offense in a 3-1 victory. Coughlin’s lone goal came on a penalty kick. See DALLAS, Page 3B

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Eagles have issues they must tackle

A 2-YARD PASS wound up in the arms of San Francisco rookie running back Kendall Hunter, who immediately turned the play into an 18-yard gain. He did it by faking a few Philadelphia Eagles here and by bouncing off a couple more there. And if you are searching for answers about why the Eagles are suddenly being bounced around, just look at that second play of Sunday’s game. Or any of the big plays the 49ers fired off against the Eagles. They can’t tackle and have nobody to take charge, which is why the Eagles have lost three straight games while their Super Bowl hopes sunk to the bottom of the NFC East. The old warriors like linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and safety Brian Dawkins would never have let things go so low. Those guys are long gone. And so is the fear of Philadelphia’s ferociousness on defense. The 49ers hit 16 plays for 10 yards or more, and five of them went for 25 yards of more. And they stormed back from a 20point deficit by scoring three unanswered touchdowns in the second half to beat the Eagles 24-23. That’s embarrassing to an Eagles team that once prided itself on stopping the other team’s big plays. “Nobody’s going out there to make it happen,” said Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins. He was a starter on Green Bay’s Super Bowl championship team last season, and one of those prime offseason acquisitions stacking the Eagles lineup. In search of an ‘attitude’ Only now, people are starting to wonder if the Eagles didn’t stack the deck against themselves by bringing in so many new faces while the league’s offseason lockout prevented them from practice time to get acquainted. “The biggest thing we’re missing here is attitude,” Jenkins said. “When things are going bad, you look around and see there’s not that fire.” Somebody should be fired for this. Start with new defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, whose linebackers and defensive backs play with the techniques of those offensive linemen he used to coach. The Eagles defenders are pushing and body blocking the guys with the ball, but they’re not bringing people to the ground. It’s enough to bring Eagles fans to their knees with anguish. The Eagles have Pro Bowl players at just about every position, with so many game-changers now after trades and their free agent signing frenzy that caused them to start calling themselves a “Dream Team.” Keep dreaming. Those Super Bowl tickets the Eagles were trying to sell you seem more like a sham. “We’re going to keep pounding,” said Eagles defensive end Jason Babin, whose three sacks were wasted in Sunday’s defeat. “I guarantee there’s not going to be one person in the locker room quitting. “We’ve got to just figure out a way to get it done.” While they’re standing around figuring things out, a kid receiver named Victor Cruz comes up from the New York Giants practice squad to score two touchSee EAGLES, Page 3B

ON THE MARK By Mark Dudek Times Leader Correspondent

I am taking a stab with Sleek Hunter in tonight’s featured $24,000 Claiming Handicap Pace. The four-year old Four Starzzz Shark gelding has had a rough couple trips the last several weeks, with only limited success. This evening he’s in a race not loaded with early speed, which should play into the hands of driver Andrew McCarthy. Plus add in the factor that B Lo Zero is finally taking a week off, after winning three straight at this level, and with any kind of racing luck we can get Sleek Hunter home at a great price.

All-American Bierbach leads trio of local standouts at Lyco EDITOR’S NOTE: Bill Arsenault writes a weekly column about former local student-athletes who are competing on the college level. If you know a local graduate who is playing collegiate sports, e-mail the athlete’s name, hometown, college, and high school to billarsenault70@msn.com. THE LYCOMING FOOTBALL team will face King’s College on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre, and it will be a homecoming for three members of the team. Senior Ray Bierbach (Northwest), junior Roger Jayne (LakeLehman) and senior Chris Kish (GAR) will be on the defensive side of the ball for the Warriors, who are 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the Middle Bierbach Atlantic Conference. Bierbach, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound back, has 15 tackles, an interception, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. He had four tackles and an interception in Lycoming’s 35-13 victory over previously unbeaten Albright last Saturday. Bierbach was named to the USA College Football Network pre-season All-American team. “Ray is an outstanding player,” coach Mike Clark said. “He’s off to a great start and played his best game of the year against Albright as we shut down the leading passer in the country. He is a super-smart player.” Jayne, 5-foot-11, 240-pound tackle, has 12 tackles. He was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week after recording 3.5 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in a 41-3 triumph over Westminster. “Roger is doing a great job for us as a junior,” Clark said. “He is very disruptive against both the pass and

He has a chance to be an allleague player again.” Kish, a 5-foot-11, 218-pound linebacker, has 10 tackles and two sacks. “Chris splits time between a couple of positions,” Clark said. “His versatility and football intelligence are really assets to the team.” Next weekend, the Warriors will host Wilkes in Williamsport. EDWARDS RUNNING AGAIN – After missing all of last season with an injury and student teaching, grad student Brenae Edwards (Hazleton Area) is once again doing a great job with the Mansfield women’s cross country team. Edwards finished fourth out of 301 runners in last weekend’s Brown Division of the annual Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh in Bethlehem. She was the top Division II finisher with a 6k time of 21:51. Edwards opened the season by winning the Hamilton Short Course Invitational in Clinton, N.Y. in a course record 14:51.7 over a muddy 4k course. She then finished fifth (21:18 for 6k) at the Spiked Shoe Invitational at Penn State. “Brenae has continued her improvement and at this point is about two minutes faster than she was two years ago (6k) at this same point in the season,” coach Mike Rohl said. Edwards, an All-American in both indoor and outdoor track, just missed making the NCAA cross country championships in 2009. “The goal this fall is a top 15 finish at the NCAA and earn All-American in indoor and outdoors, and maybe even get on the United States list for the Olympic Trials,” Rohl said. Edwards has a big race coming up when Mansfield competes in the National Invitational on Oct. 14 at

Penn State. TRIO KEYS HUSKIES – Sisters Jenna and Cassie DiSabatino and Lauren McGinley, all juniors, are members of the Bloomsburg field hockey team, which is 10-0 (4-0 in the PSAC East) and ranked No. 1 in Division II. The DiSabatinos are former Crestwood standouts while McGinley competed at Coughlin. Jenna DiSabatino has five goals and two assists for 12 points with a game-winner. “Jenna has matured every day and has turned into a very strong collegiate player,” coach Nicole Rhoads said. “She has natural skill, fantastic stick work and a phenomenal presence on the field. She is a strong force of our attack and a threat inside the offensive circle.” Cassie DiSabatino has two goals and an assist for the Huskies. “Cassie continues to improve every day working in our midfield,” Rhoads said. “She has the ability to read the defense and transition into our attack very nicely. She sees the field and distributes the ball with a presence.” McGinley is a super sub who has come off the bench to score three goals. She had two of her goals in a 5-0 victory over Mercyhurst. “Lauren is another added force in our attack,” Rhoads said. “Her work ethic and determination to improve each day show her passion for the game. Inside the circle she has the ability to capitalize and finish making her a true threat on our attack.” CAPONE DOING THE JOB – Sophomore Mike Capone (Pittston Area) is starting at fullback for the Dickinson football team. The 5-foot-9, 180-pounder has carried the ball 41 times for 164 yards, second best on the squad. He also leads the Red Devils with three touchdowns. He has caught two passes for seven yards and returned three kickoffs for 66 yards. Capone had two touchdowns, including the game-winner on a

2-yard run with 1:20 left to help Dickinson defeat Franklin & Marshall 31-24 last Saturday. “Mike has become a very effective fullback – running, blocking and catching the ball,” coach Darwin Breaux said. Sophomore linebacker Shane Mitchell (Crestwood) has played in four games and has nine tackles, two for losses. “Shane is finally back from a hamstring injury and is playing well,” Breaux said. WYSOCKI STARTING – Rachel Wysocki (Hazleton Area) is starting as a freshman for the DeSales field hockey team. She has two goals including the game-winner in a 1-0 overtime triumph over Misericordia. “Rachel has been a wonderful addition to our program,” coach Sarah Fosdick said. “She brings a wealth of technical skill to our team along with enthusiasm and eagerness to learn.” Wysocki started the season as a midfielder but Fosdick moved her to a high forward position. “This is quite an accomplishment since Rachel came in as a defender,” the coach said. “She has shown much interest in learning the position by coming in early and staying late at practices. She is adapting well to the team and the level of play.” RUPERT ON THE RUN – Freshman Josey Rupert of Shickshinny (home schooled) is already making a name for herself as a member of the Eastern women’s cross country team. Rupert finished 137th, second best on her team, at last weekend’s Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem. Competing in a field of 258 in the White Division, her 6k time was 26:21. Prior to that, she finished 21st at the Messiah Invitational (26:52) and 20th in the season-opening Bryn Mawr Invitational (24:46 for 5k). “Josey logged a lot of miles this summer which set her up very nicely

for the season,” coach Mike Wilson said. “She is a quiet young lady, but a strong competitor who puts 100 percent into her races and her workouts. I anticipate that over her running career at Eastern she will become not only a major contender in the conference but potentially in the NCAA Regionals as well.” STONIER COMING ON – Keystone sophomore Jeremy Stonier (Tunkhannock) finished eighth in the recent Keystone Invitational with an 8k time of 31:39. A week earlier, he had a season-best 31:02 with a 39thplace finish in the Cougar Classic at Misericordia. “Jeremy had a rough start to the beginning of the season but is starting to come back to where he was at the end of last year,” coach Michael Badway said. “He is the type of guy who gives the team everything he has every day, and the team sees this and is starting to follow his example.” The Giants have a young team and, although he’s just a sophomore, Stonier is one of the leaders. “We need the type of leadership by example that Jeremy gives to us,” Badway said. “We are expecting him to be back at the top of our team and near the top of the conference come the end of the season.” The Giants will be competing in the DeSales Invitational on Saturday in Center Valley.

C O LT S DT H O S P I TA L I Z E D A F T E R I N J U RY TAMPA, Fla. — Indianapolis defensive tackle Eric Foster is spending Monday night in the hospital for observation after injuring his right ankle in the first half of the Colts’ matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Foster was carted off the field after injuring the ankle in the second quarter of the Colts’ Monday night matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The injury occurred with 52 seconds remaining in the half and the Colts leading 10-7. Foster got tangled up with the pile while trying to assist on a tackle and remained down after the play. He was immediately attended to by the training staff and fitted with an air cast. He could be seen waving briefly to the crowd as the cart drove into the tunnel. Foster, out of Rutgers, is in his fourth season and entered the game with 12 tackles.

paced by the play of a new trio consisting of Dave Miller, Blake Pertl and Brandon Scharff. The new triple threat is also helped by a rotation of Zach Goodwin and Brian Stepniak going along with keeper Ryan Koslozki. The scary part for the opposition is that Miller is the only senior in that group. “It was nice having that historic defense from last year, but everyone’s stepping up, whoever we need to put there steps up to the game and performs,” said Miller, one of the team’s captains. “It was nice to see how they (last year’s defenders) played the game and just how they set the tone for this year for us. It’s a new team every year, but we pride ourselves on winning games, and a lot of that is on defense and not allowing goals in.”

This week is a vital part of the schedule for the Mountaineers, who will host Crestwood today and play Division II foe Pittston Area on Friday. Dallas got off to a good start on Monday getting a goal just 3:09 into the contest when Josh Shilanski got a pass from A.J. Nardone and beat Coughlin keeper Teddy Mykulyn for a 1-0 lead. Danny Saba added the next two goals for Dallas. The first one was unassisted and came at the opening of the second half, with only 1:06 off the clock. The final tally put the team up 3-0 at the 33:04 mark, as Nardone was credited with another assist. The Crusaders (5-2) couldn’t get much going Monday against their division foe on the slippery, muddy field. And whenever they would come close to a scoring opportunity, a player couldn’t complete the chance. The penalty kick by Justin Okun came with 21:27 left. In the last 20 minutes, the Crusaders tallied four of their

NEW YORK — After a lockout that has lasted more than three months, whether the NBA season starts on time could come down to one “very huge day” in labor talks. Owners and players will be back today for a full bargaining session, knowing if they fail to produce results, there may not be enough time left to avoid canceling regular-season games. “A lot of signs point to tomorrow being a very huge day,” players’ association president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said. “There will be a lot of pressure on all of us in the room, and we’ll accept that responsibility and go in and see what we can get worked out.” The sides met in small groups Monday for about five hours, a session that Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said was mainly about “setting the table” for today. While careful not to put too much pressure on today’s talks, he and Commissioner David Stern made clear there had to be signs of compromise. “Each side understands exactly what’s at stake and where potentially there is movement in order to try to get a deal done,” Silver said. “I mean, we can only say we’re running out of time so many times. “We both understand that if we don’t make our best offers in the next few days, we’re going to be at the point where we’re going to be causing damage to the game, to ourselves, and they’re going to be out paychecks,” he added. The regular season is sched-

uled to open Nov. 1. Players would have reported to training camps Monday, but those were postponed and 43 preseason games scheduled for Oct. 9-15 were canceled last month. “We still are in the same position that we all wish we were starting training camp today and we know a lot of our fans in respective markets feel the same way,” Fisher said. “So we’re going to continue to work at this until we can either figure it out in a way that will spare us all a lot of collateral damage and games missed, or not, but we’re going to put the effort and the time in as we have been doing and see if we can come to a resolution.” The league locked out players on July 1 after the expiration of the old collective bargaining agreement. Seeking significant changes after saying they lost $300 million last season, owners want a new salary cap structure and are seeking to reduce the players’ guarantee of basketball revenues from 57 percent, to perhaps 50 percent or below. Fisher, who didn’t take questions, said the sides still weren’t close enough to be able to talk about major progress, but were aware of the calendar. “We know that our backs are against the wall in terms of regular-season games and what those consequences will be,” he added, “but we still have to be respectful to the process, not rush through this, realizing that there are great deal of ramifications for years to come. So we have to be responsible in that regard.” Celtics All-Star Paul Pierce was the only other player to take part. Though not a member of the union executive committee, he participated in meetings over the weekend and Silver had singled him out as a player who had said meaningful things.

He eluded several defenders while crisscrossing the field, and may have been aided by a block in the back. There were no flags, though. Garcon’s first one was nearly as good. He turned up the sideline and outran everyone to the end zone, giving the Colts a 10-0 lead. Freeman responded by driving the Bucs down the field, then sneaked the ball across the goal line.

PHILADELPHIA – The heavily-favored Philadelphia Phillies have a message for anyone frustrated by their first loss of the National League division series. Don’t panic -- because they cer-

aces the Phillies have in hand. “We still have Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt, Doc (Roy Halladay) again. Everyone still feels good about our chances.” Those odds swung a little more toward St. Louis when the Cardinals clubbed Phillies fan favorite Cliff Lee for 12 hits and five runs while leveling the series with a 5-4 victory Sunday.

And quiet. “Oh man, you could hear a pin drop out there,” Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. “You usually don’t get that at Citizens Bank Park.” Fans aren’t used to feeling this fidgety about their team’s chances, either. Their Phillies led baseball with 102 victories during the regular season. And experts pre-

dicted Philadelphia’s starting rotation of Halladay, Lee, Hamels and Oswalt would dominate the postseason, making the Phillies the popular choice to win the World Series. For now, at least, St. Louis put a little doubt into those plans. But not in the minds of the Phillies. “Turn the page,” Phillies right fielder Hunter Pence said. “We’re a very confident ballclub. Confidence doesn’t win the ballgame. You’ve got to go out and win the

Jeter hit Verlander’s first pitch right back up the middle for a single, then Curtis Granderson’s drive sailed over the head of Austin Jackson in left-center for an RBI triple. Alex Rodriguez made it 2-0 with an RBI groundout. Sabathia had even more problems, walking four of the first six hitters he faced, but Detroit grounded into double plays in each of the first two innings and didn’t score. Brandon Inge doubled to leftcenter in the third for Detroit’s first hit, and Jackson walked. Ramon Santiago failed to get a bunt down but made up for it by lining an RBI single to left.

Cabrera — who homered in drove in three runs in Game 2 — came to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out. With the crowd on its feet waving white towels, Cabrera grounded into Detroit’s third double play in three innings — but this one tied the game at 2. Verlander found his groove during the middle innings. He struck out Nick Swisher for the third out of the fourth, then struck out the side on 10 pitches in the fifth, leaving the New York hitters looking helpless as his sweeping breaking ball dropped over the plate. Tigers manager Jim Leyland altered his lineup slightly from Game 1 against Sabathia, putting Santiago at second base instead of Ryan Raburn and batting him second. Santiago has hit .292

Rays. Tampa Bay kept it interesting by scoring twice off Rangers relievers before Neftali Feliz got four outs for his second save of the series. “It was three of the toughest innings that we experienced all year,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said of the late-game drama. Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre, playing deep and guarding the line to prevent a double in the ninth, started an around-thehorn double play on Kelly Shoppach’s grounder to end it. Price was the losing pitcher in two of Tampa Bay’s playoff losses in 2010 and welcomed the opportunity to try to redeem himself against the only AL opponent he’s yet to beat in his career. The left-hander shrugged off a poor outing in his last regular season start to take a1-0 lead into the seventh, thanks to Desmond Jennings’ fourth-inning homer off Lewis. Beltre singled leading off the seventh against Price and took second a wild pitch. A crowd of 32,828 fell silent when Napoli lifted a 2-2 pitch into the seats in leftcenter for a 2-1 advantage. Josh Hamilton extended the lead with a two-run single off reliever J.P. Howell. “Napoli has just been — this is the year of the Napoli, man,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “He is just hot. And he got a pitch.” As good as Price was early, Le-

runs scored. “It’s an even series now,” Lee said. “I don’t think by any means we’re defeated. Nobody’s going to hand us anything. We’ve got to go out there and earn it.”

Time with Triple-A helped motivate Nova

TIGERS followed. The All-Star closer, who was perfect in 49 save chances this season, walked two and got a warning-track flyout before striking out Jeter to end it. Trailing by four in the ninth on Sunday, the Yankees scored twice against Valverde before he got Robinson Cano to ground out with two on to close out a 5-3 victory in Game 2. After two games in New York that took three rainy days to finish, Comerica Park was dry on Monday, with the exception of the fountains beyond center field. The Yankees managed two quick runs off Verlander in the first, but the 24-game winner settled down. He appeared to be laboring at times, allowing four runs, six hits and three walks, but he stayed in for 120 pitches and Detroit produced just enough offense. Brett Gardner tied it for the Yankees with a two-run double in the seventh, but Young answered with a line drive that barely cleared the wall in right field to give the Tigers a 5-4 lead. It was reminiscent of Young’s homer in Game 1 at Yankee Stadium — which came before a downpour Friday night that forced that game to be suspended and knocked both Verlander and Sabathia out for a couple of days. Valverde, who threw 34 pitches in a non-save situation Sunday, was back for the ninth a day later. He had playfully declared the series was “over” after Game 2, and the Yankees nearly made him eat his words, but Jeter struck out swinging with runners at first and second. Sabathia allowed four runs and seven hits with six walks in 5 1-3 innings.

wis was better in limiting the Rays to one hit over six innings. Jennings’ first homer was the only hit off the right-hander, who had worked 16 consecutive scoreless innings against the Rays up to that point — a stretch that began with a five-inning stint in last year’s ALDS and continued with an eight-inning performance to beat Price and the Rays on June1. But the Rangers bullpen nearly let a three-run lead slip away. Johnny Damon, Ben Zobrist and Casey Kotchman singled to load the bases against reliever Darren Oliver in the seventh. Damon scored when pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez grounded out, and the Rangers escaped further damage when the second pitcher of the inning, Alexi Ogando, induced pinch-hitter Sam Fuld to

hit a roller to second base. The Rays weren’t finished. Jennings led off eighth with his second homer, trimming Texas’ lead to 4-3. Mike Adams walked B.J. Upton, who was caught stealing, and then walked Evan Longoria and Matt Joyce to get himself into trouble again. The Rangers wiggled off the hook when Michael Gonzales struck out Damon. Feliz came on to fan Zobrist with the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position. Price lost at home to Cliff Lee and the Rangers twice in last year’s ALDS and was coming off a disappointing outing against the Yankees in which he allowed six runs in four innings of a game that the Rays needed to win to ensure they stayed alive for the

against Sabathia (7 for 24) in the regular season, while Raburn is 4 for 23 against the New York ace. Sure enough, in the bottom of the fifth, with one out and a man on second, Santiago hit an RBI double to left-center to make it 3-2. Detroit added another run off Sabathia in the sixth. Jhonny Peralta followed Don Kelly’s bunt single with a double to left that appeared to bounce off a pole in the fence, caroming strangely to the left while the runner came around to score. After walking Jorge Posada with two outs in the seventh, Verlander stood behind the mound briefly to gather himself. It didn’t work — he then hit Russell Martin in the ribs with one of his triple-digit fastballs, putting runners on first and second. wild-card berth on the final night. Tampa Bay rallied from a seven-run deficit to grab the playoff spot on Longoria’s homer, but that didn’t stop questions about whether the Rays could count on him in a big game. The 26-year-old lefty was 0-5 with a 5.40 ERA in eight career starts against Texas before Monday, yet insisted he didn’t lack confidence to get the job done in Game 3. The Rangers had chances against him early, stranding runners in scoring position in the first, second and sixth innings. Michael Young lined to first baseman Kotchman, who made a diving catch to end the first. Nelson Cruz and Mitch Moreland grounded out after Napoli singled and stole second base in the second. Price escaped the sixth by retiring Hamilton and Young on groundballs. With Lewis pitching, Maddon tinkered with the bottom of his batting order, stacking six consecutive left-handers behind righty-hitting Jennings, Upton and Longoria, who went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts against the Rangers starter — once with Upton in scoring position after walking and stealing second in the fourth. NOTES: Only two teams have won more than four consecutive LDS road games. The Atlanta Braves won eight straight from 1995-99. The Yankees won five in a row from 2003-05. ... Lewis allowed an AL-leading 38 home runs during the regular season. The Rays have outhomered the Rangers 7-2 in the first three games of the series.

If the New York Yankees get to a fifth and deciding game of their American League division series, their fortunes may rest in the hands of Ivan Nova. And if he winds up handing the Yankees a spot in the league championship series, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees deserve a hand. Not for what you think. When Nova spent a short stint pitching for the Triple-A Yankees this season, it wasn’t anything he learned there that straightened him out. It was really the fear of going back. “It was a huge part of my process,” Nova said. “I came here with another mindset – ‘I don’t want to go back to the minor leagues.’ I was making sure to do everything possible not to go back to the minors again.” He’s already had a major impact on the Yankees playoff hopes. After a sparkling 16-4 rookie

season, Nova was selected to follow C.C. Sabathia as New York’s No. 2 starter against Detroit in the ALDS. “I mean, I wasn’t thinking at the beginning (of the year) I was going to be the second starter in the playoffs,” Nova said. It turned out Nova was the first reliever, though. He picked up in the third inning of Game 1 against the Tigers when Sabathia was lost to Friday’s rain. And Nova responded with 6 1/3 innings of four-hit ball while earning the win in New York’s 9-3 victory. In leading the Yankees to a split of the first two games at Yankee Stadium, the 24-year-old righthander pitched with the same cool that he displayed after returning to New York following three starts for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre from July 7-19. “I think I was more aggressive,” Nova said. “I was getting ahead on everybody every time I could. It was a huge part of my process after I came here.”

D’Backs fans still hold derby grudge with Fielder By The Associated Press

Arizona’s fans let Milwaukee slugger Prince Fielder have it during this year’s All-Star game, relentlessly booing him for selecting teammate Rickie Weeks over Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton for the Home Run Derby. Headed back to Chase Field for Game 3 of the NL division series, Fielder will likely hear it again, but the Brewers are well past it. “I’m sure they’ll boo him and it seems to motivate him and get him fired up,” Milwaukee left fielder Ryan Braun said. “But from our perspective, we understand why they felt the way they did. They should want Justin Upton in the derby. He’s a stud, he’s a great player and he’s a lot of fun to watch, so it’s certainly understandable.” Fielder didn’t have any problem with the boos during the All-Star game; he ended up hitting a three-run homer that lifted the National League to a 5-1 victory and home-field advantage for the World Series. “They (Arizona’s fans) and we should be thanking him,” Braun said. “Prince was MVP of the All-Star game and whoever wins gets home-field advantage, but aside from that I think it’s probably over with.” ROOKIES RULE : When Tampa Bay’s Jeremy Hellickson starts Game 4 on Tuesday, it will mark just the 10th time since 1900 that a team has used two rookie starters in the postseason. If the right-hander gets the victory, Tampa Bay will join the 1927 World Series champion New York Yankees as the only teams to get a pair of victories from its rookie starters. George Pipgras and Wilcy Moore were the winners of Game 2 and 4 in the Yankees’ four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tampa Bay rookie left-hander

MLB PLAYOFFS NOTEBOOK Matt Moore beat the Rangers in Game 1. “Kind of an unusual thought,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said before Tampa Bay lost 4-3 to Texas in Game 3. Hellickson went 13-10 in the regular season. “I have be to reminded that he is a rookie,” Maddon said. “He’s different. ... The way he pitched for us. He handles the moment extremely well.” HOT BOX : Albert Pujols is well known for his offensive feats. The three-time NL MVP does the little things, too. In Game 2 against the Philadelphia on Sunday, Pujols stayed in a rundown between third and home long enough for runners behind him to advance to second and third. It was a carbon copy of elusive footwork against the Cubs in the final homestand of the regular season. Despite playing with a sore heel and ankle, Pujols flummoxed the Phillies. “That’s a really good example of how outstanding a baserunner he is,” manager Tony La Russa said. “It takes a real good feel for when the throw is going to come and he has the quickness of a Michael Bourn or somebody, the way he looks, the number of throws that he generates.” Picking his spots carefully, Pujols was second on the Cardinals with nine steals in 10 attempts. Pujols has been criticized for jogging to first base on automatic outs, but his manager doesn’t mind. “He plays the game, that’s why he’s got to save himself at times which gets some comments from fans,” La Russa said. “You’ve got to save yourself some.”

PITTSBURGH — If Ben Roethlisberger is going to help turn the Pittsburgh Steelers around, he’s going to have to do it on one foot. Again. The quarterback underwent an MRI on his left foot Monday following a 17-10 loss to Houston. His status for Sunday’s game against surprising Tennessee (3-1) remains uncertain. Roethlisberger injured the foot in the fourth quarter but stayed on the field until the final seconds. He wore a protective boot while gingerly making his way out of the locker room. If he plays — and Roethlisberger insists he will do everything in his power to be on the field — it won’t be the first time he’s given it a go with a bad wheel. He played the second half of the 2010 season with a broken bone in his right foot and managed to lead Pittsburgh to the AFC title. “We saw I had to do that last year, I casted up my foot for the last half of the year,” he said. “If we have to do it, I’ll do it.” Pittsburgh (2-2) certainly needs him under center. If Roethlisberger can’t start then 36-yearold Charlie Batch would get the nod against the Titans. While Batch helped the Steelers to a 3-1 record at the beginning of last season — including a 19-11 win over Tennessee — while Roethlisberger served a suspension for violating the

NFL NOTEBOOK league’s personal conduct policy, he did it behind an offensive line with some semblance of stability. Houston Texans Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson is nursing an injured right hamstring and his availability for Sunday’s game against Oakland is uncertain as the team seeks other medical opinions. Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that Johnson will “miss some time,” though he said that could range from 3-4 days to a “few weeks.” Johnson went down without getting touched in the second quarter of Houston’s 17-10 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday. He had tests after the game and Kubiak says the team evaluating the injury. Cleveland Browns BEREA, Ohio — Browns Pro Bowl center Alex Mack underwent surgery to have his appendix removed, one day after he felt sick but played all 87 snaps in Cleveland’s loss to Tennessee. Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur said Mack came to the team’s facility on Monday showing appendicitis symptoms. Mack had “soreness and the tenderness that would point to that,” Shurmur said.

Pens’ Crosby will start the season on injured list PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby’s return to the ice will have to wait a little longer. The team placed the former MVP on the injured list Monday, meaning he’ll have to miss at least the first week of the season. Crosby is continuing to recover from concussion-like symptoms sustained last January. He has been skating with the Penguins since training camp opened but has not yet been cleared for contact. The Penguins open the season on Thursday at Vancouver. Under the rules the earliest Crosby could be activated is Oct. 13, when Pittsburgh hosts Washington. Washington Capitals ARLINGTON, Va. — Alex Ovechkin is leaving the Washington Capitals for a few days following a death in his family. The Capitals said Monday that Ovechkin would be traveling to his home in Moscow after learning of the death of a close relative. Team spokesman Sergey Kocharov says the Capitals are hopeful the two-time league MVP will be back in time for the regular season opener Saturday against Carolina. Washington wrapped up its exhibition schedule Sunday. Chicago Blackhawks CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to a one-year contract with goaltender Ray Emery. The Blackhawks also assigned goaltender Alexander Salak to Rockford in the American Hockey League on Monday.

NHL NOTEBOOK The 29-year-old Emery has played for Ottawa, Philadelphia and Anaheim in seven seasons in the NHL. He spent last season with the Ducks, going 7-2-0 during the regular season with a 2.28 goals against average in 10 games.

Monday Night Football BRISTOL, Conn. — ESPN is pulling Hank Williams’ classic intro song from Monday night’s broadcast of the game between Tampa Bay and Indianapolis after the country singer used an analogy to Adolf Hitler in discussing President Barack Obama. In an interview Monday morning on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Williams said of Obama’s outing on the links with House Speaker John Boehner: “It’d be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.” Asked to clarify, Williams said: “They’re the enemy,” adding that by “they” he meant Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. The network didn’t say its statement whether Williams’ song, which features the line “Are you ready for some football?” would be pulled beyond the Buccaneers-Colts game.

U.S. auto sales up 10%

U.S. buyers shrugged off economic worries and snapped up SUVs and pickups last month, surprising the auto industry and raising hopes that a bumpy year will end on a high note. U.S. vehicle sales rose 10 percent from last September, according to Autodata Corp. September saw the fastest sales pace since April, and automakers expect that pace to stay steady for the rest of this year. GM’s September sales rose 20 percent, led by a 34 percent rise in sales of full-size pickups and SUVs. Chrysler’s sales rose 27 percent, while Ford’s were up 9 percent. Honda and Toyota continued to struggle with product shortages. Toyota’s September sales were down 17.5 percent, while Honda’s fell 8 percent.

Economy up slightly, but threats remain By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writers

WASHINGTON — The nation’s economy is managing to grow modestly, reports Monday showed, despite high U.S. unemployment and growing alarm about Europe’s debt crisis. Manufacturing expanded in September more than in August, though the pace of growth remains weak, according to a survey by the Institute for Supply Management. The ISM said its manufacturing index rose for the first time in three months. And construction spending increased in August, the government said. The gain was due mostly to a pickup in state

and local government projects. In addition, U.S. auto sales rose in September, largely because consumers bought more pickups and SUVs, U.S. automakers said. Collectively, the reports suggested the U.S. economy may be able to avoid another recession but will continue to struggle. Economists said the manufacturing and construction reports are consistent with an annual growth rate of about 2 percent to 2.5 percent for the July-September quarter. That would be an improvement from growth of about 0.9 percent in the first six months of the year. But it wouldn’t be enough to reduce the unemployment

rate, which is 9.1 percent. The reports are “mildly encouraging,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics. “But even if the U.S. avoids a recession, economic growth is going to remain lackluster.” One sign that it will came from the manufacturing report. Manufacturing executives said their volume of U.S. orders shrank for the third straight month. That doesn’t bode well for future production. Export orders did grow at a faster pace last month than in August, the report found. But some reports Monday suggested the global economy is slowing. A purchasing managers’ report for

the 17 countries that use the euro showed manufacturing is contracting in that region. And the auto industry’s gains may be temporary, economists said. Sales and production slowed over the summer after the March 11 earthquake in Japan. Recent increases likely reflect the end of supply disruptions stemming from that disaster. Twelve of the 18 manufacturing industries tracked by the ISM reported growth in September. They include food and beverages; clothing; autos and other transportation equipment; and chemicals. Furniture, paper products, and electrical equipment were among those that contracted.

The minister said he hopes the appointment is made next month when the current head of the Financial Stability Board, Italy’s Mario Draghi, moves to the European Central Bank.Carney has been a strong advocate of new, stringent regulations for banks.

Markets fell worldwide after Greece said it will miss deficit reduction targets it agreed to as part of its bailout deal. The concerns overshadowed a stronger reading on U.S. manufacturing.

A new iPhone is expected to have a number of changes, including the inclusion of Apple’s latest iOS mobile software, iOS 5 and Apple’s forthcoming iCloud service, which will store content such as music, documents, apps and photos on Apple’s servers for access wirelessly on numerous devices.

Senators: Home care companies overbooked The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate investigators are accusing three of the nation’s biggest home care providers of deliberately increasing their visits to patients to get higher payments from the government’s Medicare program. A report released Monday by the Senate Finance committee lays out more than a half-dozen strategies used by executives at Amedisys, LHC Group and Gentiva to increase home care, even when patients may not have required extra attention. Staffers for senators Max Baucus, DMont., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, reviewed internal documents by the companies. “Elderly patients in the Medicare sys-

tem should not be used as pawns to increase a company’s profits,” Baucus said in a statement. “Especially in these tough economic times, taxpayers simply cannot afford for their dollars to be wasted on unnecessary care.” Grassley said the government must “fix the policy that lets Medicare money flow down the drain.” The company records show caregivers targeted their number of visits to trigger bonus payments from Medicare. In one case, a company tasked a special team of workers to develop the most profitable treatment regimens possible. The government program provides health coverage to more than 47 million

seniors. The program spends $19 billion on home care annually, according to the report. Baton Rouge, La.-based Amedisys Inc. said in a statement it was “disappointed with the committee’s conclusions” and stands by its “integrity, ethics and patient care practices.” On Friday, Lafayette, La.-based LHC Group Inc. announced it would pay $65 million to settle a civil inquiry with the federal government over whether some government-reimbursed patient care was medically necessary. Under the agreement, LHC did not admit wrongdoing and said it still disputes the claims.

Watching online rep important to your business THE INTERNET IS a big place. Sites like Facebook and Twitter have given people the ability to voice their opinion to thousands, or even millions of people. If you’re a business owner, you should be paying attention to what they say. The right phrase or nifty gimmick could make you famous. But increasingly, people are finding that the wrong word, or even just a general negative impression, can make a big impact, in a bad way. If you’re a business owner, even a small one, you know that word of mouth is one of the most important ways to get feet in the door. Having a good reputation is key. The same is true online – even more so. Let’s say that you happen to own a coffee shop. A customer is having a bad day and

TECH TALK NICK DELORENZO they spill your coffee all over themselves. Out of anger, they make an irate Facebook post – “The Coffee from Calhoune’s Coffee Cavalcade is crap, and it ruined my day” – or something similar. They might say the same thing to their friends, and that might not be a big deal. But when they post it on Facebook, Twitter, or any one of a hundred other social media sites, that message has the potential to spread to thousands of people – true or not. And bad reviews or negative comments can have an impact on how a business shows up in a Google search. The worst part is that a business owner may not even be aware of the complaint, until it materializes as a

drop in business, or hears about it from another source. So, if you’re a business, it’s important to have a presence on Facebook and Twitter at least. Not only can you push your brand, but you can offer promotions to your customers and interact with them. More important, you have a forum to respond to address situations like the one suggested above. There also are tools created specifically to help businesses to monitor what’s being said about them, and how well they’re getting the word out about their products. These tools are collectively referred to as “Reputation Intelligence,” and they’re typically quite inexpensive and can make a world of difference in marketing efforts online.

Yahoo, ABC join forces for news By BARBARA ORTUTAY AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — ABC News and Yahoo Inc. are joining to deliver more online news to their audiences. With the deal, ABC News content will be prominently featured on Yahoo News, the most visited news website in the world. It will also show up on Yahoo’s popular front page. The two news organizations have a combined online audience of more than 100 million users per month in the U.S. — something ABC News president Ben Sherwood noted was “the size of the Super Bowl audience.” While, the deal helps ABC grow its online reach, Yahoo News can drive further traffic to its own site by featuring original, made-for-online content. For the first time, ABC is launching Web-only news series, starting with a live interview with President Barack Obama by George Stephanopoulos Monday afternoon. That launches a series, “Newsmakers,” with online interviews conducted by the likes of Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Robin Roberts and others. Both companies will maintain editorial control of their own content. Though the quality of its journalism is well-regarded, ABC News has suffered from a business standpoint during the past decade because it doesn’t have a regular cable partner, the way NBC News has MSNBC and CNBC. The tight relationship with Yahoo could give the network a chance to step beyond that weakness. ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. As part of the deal, ABC and Yahoo will work together to sell advertising. ABC will sell online ads during the spring “upfront” season, when advertisers bid on commercial time for next fall’s TV season. Yahoo will take care of sales during the rest of the year. Executives would not disclose how the companies would share revenues created by the venture. Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo’s executive vice president of Americas, said Yahoo has already heard from advertisers and agencies looking to be part of new programming created for the Web.

The storm that is to blame for our miserable weather lately will remain close enough today to keep skies mostly cloudy with chilly temperatures and maybe a sprinkle. But there’s plenty of optimism in the weather ofﬁce this morning where we see strong evidence of having a dramatic improvement in the weather. As the stubborn storm slowly drifts away tonight, drier air will move in to set the stage for the return of sunshine tomorrow. So dry, in fact, that frost is possible Thursday morning under clear skies. A formidable ridge of high pressure will bathe our region into the weekend with more sunshine. - Tom Clark

Losing their glory MAIN CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

By LYNN LA McClatchy Newspapers

hirley Berger holds a photo of herself taken at Venice Beach, Calif., in1960. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 20 in the picture and looks like Elizabeth Taylor: the same thick eyebrows and upturned nose. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on her stomach, holding a cigarette. A layer of her dark curly hair covers her head.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hair was so thick, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see through it at all,â&#x20AC;? Berger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a ton of hair.â&#x20AC;? At 58, 10 years after she hit menopause, her hair started to thin and fall out. She bought a wig, but she hated how it felt. She goes to the hairdresser once a week now for help hiding the thin spots. At restaurants, she maneuvers herself out of the way when waiters come to the table so they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the top of her head. And she sleeps on satin pillowcases to avoid snagging her hair.

Mouth guards an important part of sports safety By ALISON JOHNSON Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Mouth guards arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only important in high-contact sports such as football and soccer, according to the American Dental Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safer we can be in a wide range of activities, the better,â&#x20AC;? says Ruchi K. Sahota, a California-based dentist and ADA adviser. Her tips: â&#x20AC;˘ Assess your risk. Mouth guards are a good idea in any activity that might cause a blow to the face, including many sports and recreational activities such as biking, skateboarding and rollerblading. â&#x20AC;˘ Look beyond the teeth. In addition to preventing tooth loss or chipping, mouth guards can guard against serious cuts to the mouth, tongue and lips, facial fractures and

some head, jaw and neck injuries. â&#x20AC;˘ Check the fit. Mouth guards should feel comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without interfering with talking or breathing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and stay securely in place. Dentists can custom-fit them; off-the-shelf types tend to be less effective but are less expensive and still offer some protection. Have a dentist check the fit at least once a year. â&#x20AC;˘ Protect them from damage. Keep mouth guards out of the hot sun and hot water, which can change their shape, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chew on them. Store them in a cool location, preferably in a case that allows for some airflow. â&#x20AC;˘ Clean them regularly. Sahota recommends using a soft toothbrush and antibacterial soap followed by a thorough rinse, ideally after each use. Note: Toothpaste can be too abrasive and scratch the plastic. â&#x20AC;˘ Replace as needed. Watch for signs of damage such as thinning, fraying, roughness or tears.

Spray may make swallowing pills a little easier Q: I never had a problem when swallowing pills until I was treated with radiation for esophageal cancer. Now, any pills I take seem to almost get trapped in the upper part of my throat. When it happens, water hardly helps but swallowing a piece of bread seems to dislodge the pills. Is this from a Schatzkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring? Would stretching my esophagus help? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; G.S., Nanticoke, Pa. A: Radiation to the esophagus and neck can cause irritation and scarring to the tissues, as well as damage to the salivary glands that causes dry mouth. An upper endoscopy procedure done by a gastroenterologist would be helpful to visualize the esophagus lining, and a barium swallow study would be useful to examine the swallowing reflex and identify any areas of thickening/narrowing. Schatzkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rings of esophageal tissue cause focal points of narrowing in the esophagus and are usually seen in the setting of acid reflux, rather than esophageal radiation. An upper endoscopy could determine if you have one. Beyond the usual suggestions like crushing your pills or using pudding or applesauce to help get your pills down, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an over-the-counter lubricating spray that you may find helpful. Available online, Sprayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Swallow is made from coconut and palm oils, and natural flavorings like wintergreen and cherry to eliminate bitter taste. You just spray both sides of your pill to make it slippery and then give it a swallow. Check out the website www.spraynswallow.com. Q: Would you please comment on â&#x20AC;&#x153;livedo reticularisâ&#x20AC;? (mottled skin on legs), which I believe is a side effect of some medications. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taking Lipitor, Norvasc and Ziac for several years and I feel that one of those drugs is causing it. If the offending medication is stopped or changed to another medication, will the mottled skin disappear? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A.S., Alpharetta, Ga. A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Livedo reticularisâ&#x20AC;? is when the skin of the arms or legs develops a finely mottled, lace-like purplish discoloration due to abnormal swelling of the veins. It is different from varicose or spider veins, which are dilations of the veins due to defective valves. Livedo reticularis can sometimes be triggered by exposure to cold temperatures, but it can also be triggered by an autoimmune condition like lupus, polyarteritis nodosa or rheumatoid arthritis where, for reasons that are not understood, the body attacks the blood vessel lining as though it were like a foreign invader. It can also be caused by abnormal antibodies (proteins) in the blood which can make the blood flow through veins sluggish. In many cases, the exact cause of livedo reticularis is never found. The diagnosis of livedo reticularis can be made either by its appearance or by biopsy. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re correct that certain medications have been occasionally associated with livedo reticularis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drugs like amantadine, adrenaline, quinidine and hydroxyurea. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not aware of an association between livedo reticularis and any of the medications youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking. In fact, folks who develop this as a result of exposure to cold temperatures may actually be helped by the blood vessel dilating properties of the blood pressure drug Norvasc.

JEFF KAHLER, D.V.M. on, they are very difficult to see and all that is usually noted is an itchy rabbit. Treatment for fur mites is relatively straightforward. There are a number of shampoos available through a veterinarian and there is also an injectable treatment used two to three times over a two-week period. Even in very severe infestations, this treatment regimen works very well. Rabbits can get fleas, the same types as we see in dogs and cats. Fleas are bloodsuckers and do, as a result, cause skin irritation, which itches. Large numbers of fleas on a rabbit can lead to more severe, even life-threatening problems versus pruritis. This is precisely because of the blood loss. Incidentally, this can occur in dogs and cats as well. There are other external parasites, but they are far rarer than Cheyletiella or fleas. There are other types of fur mites, though I have never seen them, and burrowing mites as well. Burrowing mites, called Sarcoptes, are extremely pruritic and we are fortunate they are rare in rabbits. They are, however, treatable. As an aside, Sarcoptes mites are communicable to dogs cats and ... humans. Once Pepe sees his veterinarian, diagnosis of his pruritic condition should be fairly straightforward. Simple microscopic examination of skin scrapings will show Cheyletiella and careful combing and visual examination should demonstrate fleas or at the very least flea feces.

Bunny’s itching could be a case of mites or fleas IF YOU ARE not familiar with a French lop bunny, think of it as a small- to medium-sized longer-haired dog with a rabbit’s face. They are fabulous pets, quite bright and interactive while being fairly mellow. Pepe would fit that description well, according to Chase. Pepe lives mostly indoors, with supervised time in the back yard. He is litter-box trained, allowing him relatively free rein in the house. Pepe has recently begun to scratch and chew at himself to the point where Chase is finding clumps of hair. Chase has not been able to find an underlying cause, but the itchiness is to the point where something must be done. Chase beat me to the punch when he wrote that he realizes it’s time for Pepe to visit the veterinarian; he thought he’d ask for my opinion as well. Pruritis (itchiness) in rabbits is similar to pruritis in dogs and cats in that there are several possible causes. There are "bugs" that can cause rabbits to scratch, along with certain conditions in the skin which can lead to pruritis. The key is to find out what specifically is causing the itch in order to formulate a treatment plan. In my two-plus decades of experience, I’ve found pruritis most commonly involves some type of parasite. I do not mean to ignore other possible causes, but the odds heavily favor more common possibilities. The two most common external parasites in pet rabbits are Cheyletiella mites and fleas. Cheyletiella mites are often referred to as fur mites. They cause pruritis and, if left unchecked, they can take over a rabbit’s entire hair coat. Earlier

Reflective older wife yearns to be loved and appreciated by family Dear Abby: I spent the best years of my life married to an abuser and cheater, raising three children who were my world. Now, as I approach my twilight years, I have a sick husband who needs my care and three children who are selfsufficient, successful and self-serving. I feel used by all of them. I hear from them only when they need me to baby-sit, provide a shoulder to cry on during breakups, etc. My husband is a sick old man who appears to be headed toward dementia, and I can’t find the courage to walk away. I don’t know what you can do for me because I know I’m only one of millions of women in

DEAR ABBY ADVICE the same position: We can’t afford a divorce; we want to remain a part of our children’s lives; yet we yearn to give our love to those who can return it and appreciate the loving, competent women we are. What are your thoughts on this? — Left Behind Dear Left Behind: Your family is not going to change. If you want change in your life, you will have to create it for yourself. Accept that you have been partly to blame for your current situation. You tolerated the abuse and cheating and focused so much atten-

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

tion on your children that they grew up thinking you would jump when they snapped their fingers. If you want to be appreciated, stop acting like a martyr and make yourself less available to all of them. Use the time to carve out an identity of your own before it’s too late. Donate some of that “empty” time to charities you believe in or causes you care about, and you will be appreciated. And while you’re at it, talk to a lawyer and find out what your options are. You may find you’re not as trapped as you think. Dear Abby: Our three grandchildren have come to live with us because their mother got mixed up with drugs and their father died. The middle boy, “Clay,” is such a picky eater, it

CRYPTOQUOTE

borders on an eating disorder. He is 11, weighs 60 pounds and is skeletal to look at. He is the smallest child in his grade. He will eat chicken, potatoes, rice, some cereal and peanut butter sandwiches. One day he will like something, the next he won’t. We have caught him making himself vomit after we have insisted he eat something. We have tried not making a big issue about it, saving his plate for the next meal, making him sit at the table until he has eaten everything and had him see a psychologist for a year. Clay is a sweet, engaging child who has convinced two psychologists there is nothing wrong. We know this is the way he has some control over his life, but we are fearful for his health and happi-

ness. We have tried counseling in this community of limited mental health resources. Any suggestions? — In a Food Fight in Arkansas Dear In A Food Fight: Yes. Stop turning mealtime into a battleground. Take Clay back to his pediatrician and find out whether or not his physical development falls into the range of normal. Explain that the boy is living on protein, starches and carbs and ask what supplemental vitamins he should take for his health. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have questions about so many things, and you’re eager to learn. In the right environment, you do so quickly, but the information is heavy and the distractions are numerous now, so it might take longer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The noise and activity around you may put you a bit on edge. Take measures to calm yourself. Also, there is financial luck in store for you — perhaps in the form of insurance money, refunds or royalties. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Before you make your move, consult the other people involved. Colleagues, friends and family members will have input. Everything will be easier for you if you take the time to get them on board first. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may think you’re eating too much, too little or all wrong. Either way, all your thoughts about your diet are starting to annoy you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Believe in your own good luck. You don’t need any talisman to make it so — it’s your birthright. There are strains of good fortune in your DNA. You’ll make the most of all your opportunities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think you could have done better, but you’re wrong. Consider the forces that were weighing on you at the time. Next time, you’ll do it differently, but for now, take peace in the knowledge that you did the best you could. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you are unaware, you are at

the mercy of your behavioral patterns. But the moment you become aware, you gain control. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be empowered because you achieve a level of detachment you have not been able to reach until now. You’ll monitor your own emotions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t waste a moment’s thought punishing yourself for what you weren’t able to do before. That was then. This is a new day, and you have fresh powers to employ. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ask yourself constantly what you are thinking and feeling. It matters. You have been conditioned to tune out your own thoughts and emotions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll change a belief because you will realize for the first time its inaccuracy. Don’t worry about replacing the belief just yet. Your open mind will lift your awareness, and the journey toward truth will be exciting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Without awareness, you are at the mercy of a situation. That’s why you take the time to observe things and understand them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). Your stellar attitude and positive interpretation of events carry you into a new, exciting era. Business takes off in November. You go forward with great gusto, and you’ll have the momentum to succeed. December and June bring travel. Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 24, 15, 45 and 26.
