It was as upbeat as Joe Paterno has been all season. “I don’t do a lot of play-calling anymore – I’m a cheerleader,” the Penn State coach said with a laugh at his weekly press conference. “Somebody called up and said I’m shrugging my shoulders or something, that I should be … ‘swaggering.’ “Pretty tough to swagger on a cane. But I’m good now. I’m gonna be swaggering all over the place.

HANOVER TWP. -- Hanover Township taxpayers are on the hook for “excess benefits” paid to several retired police officers, according an audit by the state Auditor General’s Office.

A letter prefacing the audit report noted “we are extremely concerned about the funded status of the plan,” which has been classified as being in “moderate distress.” The state regularly audits municipal pension plans for compliance with laws and regulations, usually every two years. The latest audit covers 2008 and 2009, and there were two “findings”: • An improper “length-of-service increment” was granted to one retiree. While

Experts: Probe to have impact Incident on pipeline stirs residents’ fears D A L L A S T W P.

Professors: Probe likely will carry some consequences for Mayor Leighton’s campaign.

By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Concerned residents questioned the board of supervisors and natural gas representatives Tuesday about an incident involving the Transco interstate pipeline located near the Dallas School District campus. Fairgrounds Road resident Sonia Maslowski said her husband, John, heard a loud noise on Sept. 22 coming from the area where the Springville Gathering Line being constructed by Williams Field Services LLC will tap into the Transco line. She said he also smelled odorized natural gas in the air, and she called 911 as a result. Maslowski was told Luzerne County 911 was notified via fax the company would vent gas from the pipeline that day, and emergency vehicles were dispatched to her home as a precaution. Upon learning the information, neighbor Jane Tolomello said she contacted Dallas School District Superintendent Frank Galicki about the situation. She said he then contacted the township and a representative said he or she was not notified of any natural gas ventilation at the site. Tolomello said her main concern was that the school is prepared in the event such an emergency did occur because the tapin site is located about 1,800 feet from the school district campus, which houses approximately 2,800 students.

W H AT ’ S N E X T

The next board of supervisors meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 in the municipal building.

She repeatedly asked whether the township found her to be credible as a neighbor of the construction, because she felt her urgency of the situation wasn’t taken seriously. Mike Dickinson, manager of operations and technical operations in the Appalachian Basin for Williams, said the company went through standard operating procures to perform the work, but the company is searching for more ways to improve communication and increase awareness. Transco spokesperson Chris Stockton said earlier Tuesday the incident occurred at a location about nine miles away from the site off Hildebrandt Road. He said the act is called purging, when air is forced out of a blocked pipeline because a larger pipe is being connected to a smaller one. At the meeting, Jack Dodson, emergency management coordinator for Dallas Township, said the fax sent to the Dallas Township fire station stated the incident took place at the site off Hildebrandt Road. He said he plans to call the appropriate officials today to ensure all neighboring properties and the township are notified in the event of a natural gas release in the future.

WEST PITTSTON

Council looking at ways to mitigate flood damage By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

WEST PITTSTON – In its first regular meeting since the heavy flooding that hit the community, borough council on Tuesday night heard some good news. Council President Brian Thornton said that after a meeting with state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Twp., the borough would be proceeding with a sewer improvement project to alleviate some of the problems affecting the York Avenue area of the borough. The area was one of the hardest hit in the borough, where 900plus homes were affected by the flood. The project would consist of a $1.5 million redo of the storm sewers to be funded by a planned restructuring of the borough’s current PennVest loan. Thornton said it was his intention not to raise the current sewer fees, but rather to work with the restructuring and potential grants. The plan, as explained by Borough Engineer Tom Reilly, would be for the initial project to be bid in the winter and actual construction to start in April. The overall project cost could total $3.8 million, but the phase beyond the initial $1.5 million

W H AT ’ S N E X T Council’s next regular meeting will be Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

would be contingent upon additional grant funding from the state and possibly the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The York Avenue and Park Street areas were severely damaged by the flood waters and subsequent street flooding due to a storm drainage problem that can be traced back to mine settlements in the York Avenue area. The settlements were caused by improper mining practices and the capping of mine boreholes back in the 1970s, officials said. Reilly also addressed the problem of numerous sink holes in the borough. He said that because of the mainly sand-and-gravel soil composition in West Pittston, the flood had raised groundwater tables to levels not seen in the past. The high groundwater is what has been causing sinkholes, cellar foundation failures and water infiltration into cellars. Reilly said that even though the flood water had dropped, he expected the sink holes and other problems to continue for a while.

Supervisors OK police contract Times Leader staff

FAIRVIEW TWP. – Township supervisors on Monday unanimously approved a new contract for police officers. Under the new four-year contract the township’s five full-time police officers will receive a 3 percent salary increase in each of the next two contract years and a 4 percent raise in the following two years. There will be no changes to benefits. The contract will take effect Jan. 1; the old contract was set to expire Dec. 31. Supervisors said the police department saved the borough about $12,000 by negotiating the contract without arbitration. The township also employs two part-time officers not covered by the contract, Township Secretary Barbara Wasiakowski

Marhold said he will have the township engineer look into what is creating the problems. Also, an ordinance implementing the local taxpayers’ bill of rights, which includes rules and regulations, a disclosure statement, a form of taxpayer petition and the adoption of administrative appeal procedures was accepted by the board.

WILKES-BARRE – The status of an ethics probe – real or rumored – will have lasting effects on the re-election chances of Mayor Tom Leighton, two local political science professors said. David Sosar of King’s College and Tom Baldino of Wilkes University said voters will be influenced by the possible ethics probe. The state Ethics Commission has informed Leighton and two unnamed complainants that a preliminary inquiry into the mayor’s hiring practices is in the hands of the commission’s investigative division. The commission said it erred when it sent letters to the complainants that indicated a full-scale investigation of Leighton was under way. Leighton has come under fire

for hiring his children and other relatives to city summer positions during his first two terms. He is running for a Leighton third term against Republican Lisa Cope and Libertarian Betsy Summers. “Does the story affect the race in November? Sure it does, but more from the framework of those who might be on the edge of voting or not for Leighton,” Sosar said. Sosar said those solidly behind Leighton will vote for him anyway, and those strongly opposed to his policies weren’t going to vote for him anyway. “It would appear to me at the present time that the Republican and Libertarian would make as much of this situation as they can, but I’m not sure it will be enough on its own to make the difference,” Sosar said. Baldino said that at this point

in the campaign a revelation such as this will raise serious questions about the mayor’s judgment. “Even if the commission finds no ethical violations, Leighton’s opponents will raise the hiring of his family and friends as a serious breach of public trust because such acts appear to be nepotism and cronyism, respectively,” Baldino said. Baldino said a mayor should avoid all appearances of impropriety. “And failing this basic rule of thumb leaves the mayor open to attack by his opponents,” Baldino said. Sosar said if it really is a preliminary investigation, there won’t be much that the Ethics Commission will report on. Sosar said the commission usually doesn’t comment unless it has finished an investigation and there is something wrong that it needs to report on. Baldino said whether this issue will be a significant factor for the voters as they go to the polls remains to be seen.

Residents told flood help available SHICKSHINNY – A standingroom-only crowd of more than 100 flood-hit residents were told Tuesday night that federal and state agencies stand ready to help them financially to rebuild their houses and their lives. The borough council session featured representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Small Business Administration and Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. Tom Hughes, a state hazard mitigation officer for PEMA, said the agency will provide a 25 percent share to recovery funds that will be coming from FEMA. Last week, council was told by Scott R. Morris of the Cowbell Consulting Firm that FEMA will provide only a 75 percent share of

damage costs; Shickshinny was to be responsible for the other 25 percent. Morris has preliminarily estimated the borough sustained almost $2.2 million in damage to its public buildings and streets. Hughes said funding needs exceeding what is provided by FEMA “will be picked up by the state.” Council voted 5-2 to retain Cowbell as consultant to deal with flood recovery issues. Councilwoman Francene Tearpock-Martini expressed reservations about Cowbell and voted against retaining the firm. It was stated that Morris’ services will be paid through a percentage of total funds received from FEMA. Council also decided to table until a special meeting Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. the awarding of a bid for

removal of flood debris. Bids were received from six companies,butbecausetheyweresodetailed, containing over 50 categories, solicitor Jeff Malak advised council to table action until the bids can be thoroughly reviewed. Council also voted to rescind an application charge for building permits and reduced the amount for the permit from $35 to $15. Representatives from SBA, FEMA and PEMA said money is available, but flood victims have to file appropriate applications, keep detailed records on damage and have information available at the FEMA disaster center at Luzerne County Community College. Hughes said PEMA forms for assistance are also available from Weber at a temporary office situated adjacent to the municipal building on West Union St.

EXETER BOROUGH

Flood issues dominate council meeting By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

W H AT ’ S N E X T

EXETER – Discussions of flood damage and debris cleanup dominated Exeter’s regular council meeting on Tuesday. While the borough received praise for the 6-foot temporary flood-prevention wall that was erected on Susquehanna Avenue, questions remained about future intentions to stop flooding for portions of the street that were not protected by it. Council President Richard Murawski was unsure as to specific measures that could be taken by the borough on private property. He said he intends to have that as well as other issues addressed at a FEMA meeting on Oct. 11 at LCCC.

Borough Council will hold its next regular meeting Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.

He reminded all flood-affected residents to fill out damage survey forms that are available at the municipal building. The borough currently estimates municipal damage from the September flood is around $250,000.Officials do not yet have an estimate of the damage to private property. The council also heard complaints from several residents from the vicinity of the corner of Anthracite and Lehigh streets in the Exeter Park section.

Flooding complaints from residents in that area have long been common, but this summer’s heavy rains compounded their problems. Murawski told the residents their debris will likely be cleaned up in the coming days. He referred to the cleanup of mud on Anthracite Street as a top priority. In other business, a Flood 2011 Fund was established to pay for costs associated with the flood. The council also voted to transfer $200,000 to the new fund from its refuse and sewer funds. The money transferred will be reimbursed by the state and federal emergency management agencies, officials said. Also, N&B Enterprises was awarded a contract for flood debris removal.

Officials still dealing with damage from 2 storms By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

ROSS TWP. – Supervisors talked Tuesday about how they are still putting their municipality back together after damage sustained from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. A portion of Green Valley Road is still closed due to a washout from a tributary from Huntington Creek. Supervisor Stan Davis said debris is blocking the creek from flowing under a bridge and water has diverted itself through a wooded area and across the road. Davis said initially an agreement was reached with the landowner to allow the township and a contractor to enter the property and clean out the debris. But when work crews arrived with a permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection and the contractor, they were stopped by the landowner and Shawn Rybka, watershed coordinator with the Luzerne Conservation District. Davis said the landowner changed his mind after talking with the conservation district. Davis said that to reach the debris, the contractor had to enter the landowner’s property. The landowner’s name was not released. Davis said that in order to get the water back

into the creek bed, the debris has to be removed. Supervisor David Williams suggested having a meeting with the Luzerne Conservation District to work out a solution to the problem. The two storms left the municipality with about $300,000 in damage, Davis said. The township filed an emergency declaration for Hurricane Irene on Aug. 28, and for Tropical Storm Lee on Sept. 7.

LOCAL Coal Street to get more parking Despite the change, some residents are unhappy about the availability of spaces on the remodeled street.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – There will be parking spaces along Coal Street – 53 in fact – eight more than before the $12 million widening project began. But some residents along the key route into the city are not satisfied and they let Mayor Tom Leighton know how they felt Tuesday evening at Coal Street

Park. Butch Frati, the city’s director of operations, said the parking spaces will be the final part of the project. Some residents said they still will be without available parking in front of their buildings, causing property values to decline. “My neighbor has been trying to sell his house and had it listed at $45,000,” said Tim Finley, who owns property at 123 Coal St. “He can’t give it away for $16,000 now.” Frati said the city, PennDOT and Pennoni & Associates will look at the situation again. Frati said a bus lane in front of Finley’s property could be changed.

Frati said that when the project had reached the final design stage in 2009, federal regulations called for wider lanes and wider sidewalks. The regulations changed shortly after, but Frati said rather than delay the project for a year or two, the city went ahead with the plan, intending to modify it to reduce the lane and sidewalk widths and add parking. He said the federal design criteria changed shortly after the plan was approved. The lanes on Coal Street will be 10 feet wide, not 12 feet as originally planned, Frati said. The sidewalks will be 8 to 12 feet wide as originally

planned, he said. The parking lane will be 7 feet wide. “When we first saw the plans, we weren’t happy,” said Leighton of the elimination of parking. “We told PennDOT that we needed to provide parking on the west side of Coal Street. “We’ve improved parking on Coal Street.” Jack Jones, 91, lives at 119 Coal St. He said he won’t have parking in front of his house even with the proposed changes. “I just put a new roof on my house,” Jones said, indicating he isn’t planning See PARKING, Page 12A

Attorneys in the case also presented their opening statements Tuesday. Assistant District Attorney Alexis Falvello asked the jury to consider a first-degree murder conviction because Zola’s actions were “premeditated and deliberate.” Zola’s attorney, Joseph Yeager, said there is no question his client is responsible for Cave’s death, but the jury will find his client guilty of the appropriate charge – voluntary manslaughter.

The listing was announced in the Chronicle’s Almanac of Higher Education 2011. Total enrollment grew from 4,364 in the fall of 2004 to 6,239 in the fall of 2009 – an increase of 43 percent. Wilkes was ranked 19th overall among private nonprofit master’s degreegranting institutions. The listing was based on total student enrollment, including full- and part-time students in undergraduate and graduate programs. Helping the bump in attendance was the record undergraduate enrollment set in 2007, when Wilkes accepted its largest class with 625 freshmen stu-

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – Hugo Selenski, accused in a 2002 double murder, has asked a county judge to order his standby counsel to hand over documents relating to his case so that he can prepare for his Nov. 29 trial. Selenski, 38, of Kingston Township, wrote to Judge Joseph Van Jura requesting specific documents he has not yet received to prepare for his trial on charges in the deaths of Tammy Fassett and Michael Kerkowski, both 37, in May 2002. Their bodies were discovered in a shallow grave outside Selenski’s home in June 2003. If convicted of first-degree murder, Selenski could face the

death penalty. He is representing himself at the trial after asking to be allowed to do so. Selenski said in the letter that one of his standby attorneys had not provided him with documents and that he has “real concerns and problems” and he doesn’t want to walk into Van Jura’s courtroom next week for a conference unprepared. Selenski said attorney John Pike was not communicating with him, and said that Pike has visited him only three times in five years, that he has an extensive list of Pike’s neglect, and that Selenski has been “cautious” on voicing his “true disgust.” Van Jura ordered another of Selenski’s standby attorneys, Robert Buttner, to provide Selenski with the needed docu-

Christie: ’Now is not my time’ for ’12 bid

NEW YORK

3 win Nobel for universe discovery Three U.S.-born scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for discovering that the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace, a stunning revelation that suggests the cosmos could be headed for a colder, bleaker future, nearly devoid of light. In 1998, Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt and Adam Riess presented findings that overturned the conventional idea that the expansion was slowing 13.7 billion years after the big bang. Working in two teams, they had raced to measure the universe’s expansion by analyzing light from dozens of exploding stars called supernovas. They found the light was weaker than expected, signaling that the expansion of the universe was accelerating.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday announced he would not run for president, refusing to bow to pressure from GOP donors, fans and luminaries clamoring for another option in the search for a strong Republican to challenge President Barack Obama next fall. “Now is not my time,” Christie told reporters at the New Jersey Statehouse. His decision means that three months before voting is set to begin, the Republican race remains focused on two men — former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The famously blunt, budgetcutting governor in office not even two years had spent the past few days reconsidering his long-time refusals to run for the GOP presidential nomination in light of encouragement from GOP leaders.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Islamist militants detonated a truck bomb Tuesday in front of the education ministry in Somalia’s capital as students and parents crowded around to learn about scholarships, killing at least 70 people and wounding dozens, officials said. It was the deadliest It was the bomb attack in Somalia by deadliest al-Shabab, an al-Qaidabomb attack linked group that began in Somalia by its insurgency five years ago. It also was the first al-Shabab. significant attack in the capital since al-Shabab withdrew most of its gunmen in August amid an offensive by African Union forces, which are protecting the weak U.N.-backed government. The truck blew up at a security checkpoint at the entrance to the Ministry of Education, said Ali Hussein, a police officer in Mogadishu. After the thunderous blast, blackened corpses were sprawled on the debris-strewn street amid burning vehicles. One woman used a blue plastic bucket to pour water on a smoldering body.

Al-Shabab immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on a website it uses. Suicide bombings were unheard of in Somalia before 2007 but have become increasingly frequent. Al-Shabab claims allegiance to al-Qaida, which often uses car bombs and appears bent on gaining a greater foothold in the Horn of Africa.

Amanda Knox and family head home to U.S. after acquittal The Associated Press

LONDON — After Italian prisoners gave her a boisterous goodbye, Amanda Knox made her way home to America on Tuesday, holing up with family on the upper deck of a jetliner to Seattle as she enjoyed her first full day of freedom since her murder conviction was reversed. Reporters on board the British Airways flight hoping to talk to Knox, now a tabloid staple on two continents, were blocked on the stairs by a flight attendant who politely informed them that the family would speak publicly only after the plane touched down at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It was unclear whether Knox herself would speak then. Knox’s life, spent in prison for the last

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvanians who knowingly hire illegal immigrants would lose their professional licenses under a bill that passed out of a state House committee on a party-line vote Tuesday. The Republican-majority State Government Committee approved the Professional Licensees Illegal Employment Act, which would cover anyone licensed by the Bureau of Occupational and Professional Affairs. Its penalties would apply to firstoffense violations. Supporters said the proposed law would help prevent people who are in the United States illegally from holding jobs that legal residents could otherwise have. Democrats said they worried the bill could lead to large institutions going out of business because of a single hire, and that the standards by which someone would be subject to a complaint and investigation were not spelled out. The bill is among more than a dozen in the “National Security Begins at Home” package that has been developed by the committee’s chairman, Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler. Among Metcalfe’s top priorities is a Senate-passed bill that would make most people who seek welfare or other public benefits show a driver’s license or similar ID and sign a form swearing they are in the country legally.

Higher-reading river gauge to be installed today Man free on bail arrested By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Installation of a new gauge for the Susquehanna River capable of higher readings is set to begin today. The U.S. Geological Survey is replacing the current gauge that was inundated by the river when it reached a record crest of 42.6 feet on Sept. 9. Once installed, the new gauge will transmit data by the end of the week and will

operate to a stage of 48 feet. At the time of last month’s flooding, Luzerne County officials were unaware the current gauge had a capacity to document the river up to only 38.6 feet, leading to misconceptions by the National Weather Service that the river had crested much lower and earlier in the day. “Elevating the Wilkes-Barre stream gauge became our center’s top priority once we completed our emergency operations after the flooding, brought that gauge back online and repaired other damaged stream gauges within the Susquehanna River Basin to a point

that they also were functional,” said Robert Hainly, assistant director for the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center. County commissioners Stephen Urban, Maryann Petrilla and Thomas Cooney sought answers from the USGS as to why the gauge was programmed to document a river up to 38.6 feet when levees protect most of the Wyoming Valley up to 41 feet. Commissioners also requested a new gauge to record river levels in Wilkes-Barre. Hainly said the new gauge will be elevated so that its phone booth-size structure won’t flood, which happened on Sept. 9.

Many residents who experienced flooding blamed officials and weather forecasters for providing an inaccurate river crest. When the river reached 38.6 feet, the current gauge continued to record that height even though the river kept rising. “We commend the employees of the local, state and federal emergency management agencies who were on duty that night and quickly recognized what was happening when gauges up and down the river continued to rise while a nearly constant 38.5 feet river stage was reported by the Wilkes-Barre stream gauge,” Hainly said.

Hearing on River Street project to let residents raise questions

WILKES-BARRE – A public hearing Thursday will give residents a second chance to raise questions about the proposed River Street Corridor Improvement Project. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has scheduled the hearing for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at

meeting to discuss the project. Most people at the August meeting said they expected to hear a presentation on the estimated $2.8 million project that will calm traffic on the busy downtown street. Instead they found minimal displays and had no opportunity to ask questions. PennDOT spokesman James May said Thursday’s meeting, “unlike the first one,” will be more of a formal presentation. Jim Brozena, executive director of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority, and Stephen Sartori of Pennoni Associates,

project manager, are presenting. “If anyone has any questions or feedback regarding the specifics of this project, we encourage them to attend this meeting on Thursday evening,” May said. According to PennDOT and Brozena, the project will reduce the number of lanes on River Street between Ross and North streets from four to two. Brozena said there might be a raised median installed and maybe trees and flowers down the center of River Street.

Police say they tried to stop John T. Olszyk, 34, who was driving a car reported stolen. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – A man free on bail on four unrelated arrests is accused of initiating a police chase that ended in a crash near the Luzerne County Courthouse early Tuesday morning. Police filed charges of aggravated assault, receiving stolen property, fleeing or attempting to elude police, reckless endangerment and driving with a suspended license against John T. Olszyk, 34, with District Judge Paul Roberts. Kingston Police Chief Keith Keiper said police tried to stop Olszyk, last known address as North Diamond Avenue, WilkesBarre, after learning he was driving a stolen Subaru on Market Street. Police followed Olszyk across the Market Street Bridge where they attempted a traffic stop. Olszyk turned left onto North River Street and sped toward the courthouse, where he nearly struck a Kingston police cruiser at North and North River streets, Keiper

said. Olszyk turned onto North Street and lost control of the Subaru when he tried to turn onto Water Street. Keiper said the Subaru crashed down a small embankment and Olszyk allegedly fled the vehicle. The Subaru was reported stolen to the Wilkes-Barre Police Department, Keiper said. Olszyk has not been captured on the arrest warrant that was issued Tuesday by Roberts. Olszyk has been free on bail on four unrelated arrests, recently for a burglary at Malacari’s Market on Wilkes-Barre Township Boulevard, Wilkes-Barre, on Sept. 2. City police allege Olszyk was one of three people who forced their way into the market and stole food, cash registers and tools, according to the criminal complaint. Olszyk’s bail on the burglary charge was modified from $30,000 straight to unsecured at his preliminary hearing on Sept. 22. Olszyk is also facing two separate drunken-driving cases in Luzerne County, and charges that he stole items from parked vehicles on North Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, according to court records.

(Jenkins Township), died Sunday, October 2, 2011. Born in Catasauqua on March 13, 1927, he was a son of the late Howard Elias Laubach Sr., and Annie Kurtz Laubach. He was a graduate of Catasauqua High School, Muhlenberg College, class of 1947, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (Mt. Airy). Rev. Laubach was ordained in Atlantic City, N.J., May 1950. He served multiple parishes over the course of his 41-year ministry. His first duties consisted of a four-parish assignment in Monroe County that included St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Kunkletown; St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Kresgeville; St. John’s Lutheran Church, Effort; and Salem Lutheran Church, Gilbert. Rev. Laubach also served St. Paul’s Third Lutheran Church, Easton, and ultimately Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Palmerton, retiring in 1991. Born and raised in Catasauqua, he and his two older brothers, who were also Lutheran ministers, called St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Catasauqua, their home parish. Rev. Laubach recently celebrated his 61st anniversary of ordination. Among his many accomplishments within the church was his leadership role in two building projects in Easton and Palmerton; membership on the Board of Directors of Northeast Pennsylvania Lutheran Welfare Services, which founded Diakon Hospice; and his pivotal role in the founding of the Christian Action Council of Palmerton Area Churches (CACPAC). Always community-minded, Rev. Laubach helped to establish the Bomberger Fund, which distributed coats and food to children and families in need during the holidays. When it came to his attention that a member of the community required dialysis, Rev. Laubach was instrumental in raising funds that allowed Palmerton Hospital to acquire its first dialysis machine. He also at one time ran the amusements for the Palmerton Hospital Festival. Among other firsts to his credit was testimony given in court in his capacity as pastor in Kunkletown. Being an amateur photographer, Rev. Laubach submitted color pictures he had taken relating to the case at hand. After being authenti-

cated by experts from Kodak, these Kodachrome slides were allowed into evidence. This was the first time color photographs had been allowed into evidence in a Pennsylvania courtroom. Rev. Laubach’s ministry was served in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Preceding him in death, in addition to his parents, were his wife of 54 years, the former Doris Elaine Rudert; brothers, Rev. Howard E. Laubach Jr., Rev. Robert A. Laubach, and infant brother, Franklin Laubach. Surviving are his sons, James R. Laubach Jr. and wife Katharine, Bethlehem; Robert A. Laubach, Manassas, Va.; and Canon Mark E. Laubach, Shavertown; grandchildren, Rachel Meck, Caitlin Laubach, Joshua Laubach, Jordan Laubach, Cpl. Rebecca Laubach, USMC; Abigail Laubach, and Emily Laubach; great-grandson Ian Douglas Meck; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday in St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 417 Howertown Road, Catasauqua. Officiants will include the Rev. Gary Walbert, pastor of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Rev. Deborah Scheffey and the Rev. George Spieker. A private interment will be made in Springtown Cemetery, Bucks County. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations, if desired, may be made to the Music Program at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 35 S. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, where his son, Canon Mark E.

Ex-deputy assault case goes to court

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sheila Sult testified she opened the front door at her house on South Regent Street â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a crackâ&#x20AC;? to see who had knocked. Seconds later, Sult said, the door was pushed open and she was shoved over a love seat while being punched in the face and head by former Luzerne County Sheriff Deputy Jennifer Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many times I was struck, but it was multiple times,â&#x20AC;? Sult testified Tuesday at Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. City police allege the assault on July 22 was a loversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarrel involving Sult, Roberts and Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; former partner, Mary Jean Farrell, also a county deputy sheriff. Farrell testified she began dating Sult in June after a relationship with Roberts ended in February. After 90 minutes of testimony, District Judge Martin Kane determined prosecutors established a case against Roberts, sending charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, burglary and harassment to county court. State Deputy Attorney General George Zaiser is prosecuting due to a potential conflict of interest with the county District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Farrell testified Roberts called her late in the day on July 21 to complain about comments Sult had posted on Facebook. Farrell said she went to Sultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence to ask her to delete the comments. When she was leaving, Roberts and Joleen Lesho showed up at Sultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence. Lesho knocked on the door and when Sult opened it â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a crackâ&#x20AC;? Roberts stormed up the steps and pushed the door open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immediately when Jen Roberts entered my residence, she put her hands on me,â&#x20AC;? Sult said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She continued to strike me until Mary Jean came in and told Jen to stop.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how may punches were thrown,â&#x20AC;? Farrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did see two or three when I was in there.â&#x20AC;? Farrell said she got between Roberts and Sult, who was bent over the love seat blocking her face with her hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Sheila lifted her face and Jen realized what she did to her face, she bolted,â&#x20AC;? Farrell said about Roberts. Sult said she suffered a herniated disk in her neck that requires surgery, swollen eyes and bruises on her head. The alleged assault occurred after Farrell and Roberts â&#x20AC;&#x153;exchanged wordsâ&#x20AC;? outside the Wyoming Valley Mall on July 21. Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, Allyson Kacmarski, said the real story has not been told. County commissioners voted unanimously to fire Roberts on Aug. 23.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: OCCUPY WALL ST.

Getting fed up with the fat cats

ALL STREET nearly wrecked this nation a few years ago, and although its financial lunacy and flawed leadership became exposed during the recession, Congress failed to duly fix the problems or penalize the culprits. Average Americans paid a heavy price – through job losses and home foreclosures – rarely raising a public fuss, much less showing their fury, about the unfairness of it all. Until Sept. 17. Some demonstrators in Manhattan tried to pitch tents last month in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Soon, others of a similar mindset joined them at a nearby park in an effort called Occupy Wall Street. As of this week, the revolution – yes, we’ll call it that – had attracted hundreds more participants and spawned copycat protests from Portland, Maine, to Los Angeles and possibly Wilkes-Barre. Billed as a “leaderless resistance movement,” its participants rely on the Internet, a newspaper called the “Occupied Wall Street Journal” and other techniques to build momentum and air their concerns, particularly about “corporate greed.” They have called for a “national student walkout” today, urging collegians to rally against “unforgivable student debt and soaring tuition rates.” Certain observers have said the demonstrators lack focus,

scratching their heads as to the method and meaning. What’s not to get? As with populist uprisings that morphed into the Arab Spring, or for that matter the U.S. women’s suffrage or antiwar movements, a significant number of people feel as if their voices are not being heard by the decision-makers, their viewpoints ignored. With little left to lose, the individually powerless take to the streets and flex their collective muscle. In this case, the masses are tired of corporate tyranny. They’re frustrated by fat cats who write, rewrite and then bend rules in their favor. They’re disgusted by corporate lobbyists who seem to manipulate federal lawmakers, exercising so much influence in Washington that in some cases the major distinction between candidates from opposing parties is only the color of their neckties. They’re sick of executives focused on driving up quarterly earnings no matter the consequences or the human costs. In short, Occupy Wall Street’s participants are saying they’re not going to take it anymore. And – if the United States is to continue to be the land of opportunity – they shouldn’t have to.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I knew it wasn’t Ikea.” Adam Riess The Johns Hopkins University astronomy professor joked Tuesday about the early morning phone call he received from The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, confirming that he and two others had been awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics. The trio was honored for discovering that the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate, contrary to science’s conventional wisdom.

OTHER OPINION: AMANDA KNOX

Implausible case has sensible end

HE CASE AGAINST former University of Washington student Amanda Knox was always just too far-fetched. A seemingly normal college girl turned she-devil. Drug-fueled sex games gone bad. Her DNA nowhere in the room where her roommate, Meredith Kercher, was killed. An Italian jury Monday concluded what many people have long suspected: Knox was guilty of goofy, insensitive behavior and pot use. But there was never sufficient evidence to prove she murdered her roommate. A lot has been written about the Italian justice system, much of it negative about the overzealous prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini. But say this, the Italian courts allow for two automatic appeals and the first one freed Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. Both consis-

tently denied involvement in the case. The 2007 murder case is a tragedy on many fronts. KerchKnox er’s family has every right to want justice. The family has ached deeply for four years. The family was not satisfied that there was only one person involved in the killing, a local drifter, Rudy Guede, who admitted to being at the cottage the night of the murder and whose DNA was found all over Kercher’s room, on her clothes and body. But the other tragedy is for a Seattle family and Knox, who has spent more than 1,000 days of her young life behind bars. The Seattle Times

LETTERS FROM READERS

Voters and non-voters called ‘lazy’ by writer

always felt it was interesting that in the past a person who was voting could pull a lever that would record straight Democrat or straight Republican choices. They might as well print on those levers: “I’m too lazy to think about it.” They could do the same with the new setup. They could label the computer buttons for straight Republican or straight Democrat “I’m too lazy to think about it.” And that goes for the 35 percent of voters who do show up out of the 100 percent of eligible voters. Gregory M. Suda Nanticoke

Mayoral hopeful outlines how she would run city

am running for the office of mayor of Wilkes-Barre. I’ve lived in Wilkes-Barre my whole life and my two children, Jessica and Ross McGlynn, are graduates of GAR High School. Jessica is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Ross a graduate of Wilkes University. I have two sisters: Barbara Unrue and Suzanne Curley. My maiden name is Graziano. My parents, Tom and Julie Graziano, also live in Wilkes-Barre. I have been employed by Lord & Taylor for the past 19 years. While this short background tells a little more about my personal life, I want to emphasize what I will do if elected mayor. I do not intend to sit behind a desk and isolate myself from the people of the city. I will be accessible. I will put a rein on spending and work from a balanced budget. Borrowing money means paying interest, and paying interest means flushing money – your money – down the drain. Our federal and state governments are broke. The days of governors going city to city with multimillion-dollar checks, as did former Gov. Ed Rendell, are over, and well they should be. I will run a 100 percent honest administration; anyone who cannot work under this condition will be gone. City projects, wherever possible, will be done in-house, any others that must be bid out will be awarded to the person or company giving the city the most “bang for the buck.” High priority will be given to infrastructure, with emphasis on roads and sewers. Many millions of dollars have been spent on center city, but far too many buildings are empty, and many former buildings are empty lots. I believe no more money should be spent in this area until the structures we now have are fully occupied. As mom used to say, “Finish what’s on your plate, then you can have more.” Wilkes-Barre is not, and will not be-

come, a city of refuge for criminals. Absentee landlords and their drug-dealing tenants will be “cracked down on.” City council meetings will be conducted in a respectful manner, and all are welcome to attend and will be heard. All applicants qualified for city jobs will be considered. I don’t believe in the term “most qualified” – these people are usually someone’s relative. How can we be fair if 20 people qualify for five jobs? How about a lottery with the applicants present? Drop 20 names in a hat; the first five picked go to work – just a thought. The point I want to make is this: My term as mayor will be honest, open, fair to all and fiscally responsible. If a structure has a fire, you don’t start re-building until the damaged part has been removed and hauled away; then you re-build. There are many points I haven’t touched on such as fringe benefits, clutter cleanup and volunteerism, etc. I have set up a website: CopeforMayor.com. I also can be reached on Facebook at “Lisa Cope for Mayor,” and any questions you have will be answered there. If you believe that I deserve your vote in November, cut out this letter for future reference. Remember this: The money a mayor spends while in office is yours. I keep a tight hold on my personal purse strings, and I will do the same for you, my neighbors and friends of Wilkes-Barre.

while their houses were flooded. Many of the firefighters were affected, too. It has been wonderful to dwell in West Pittston with my dear, old buddy Mr. Ron Dietrich as our neighbor; Ron recently passed away. He also was a great fire chief and fireman who gave his all to the borough. He was the civil defense director for a number of years. What a great teacher and leader. The department certainly has been passed down to the right hands. I am sure that former chief Dietrich would be extremely proud of all of you. Please accept my thank-you to each and every one of you very special people, volunteer firefighters. Neil Sharp West Pittston

Coverage of man’s death upsets family members

onald Kelly was my family. Yes, years ago he did wrong but, yes, he served his time. He was an asset to our community, a good uncle, brother and son. Most of his family is deceased, but, yes, he has some family left. And we do not approve of the way The Times Leader published information about his death (“Noxen man dies in crash,” Sept. 27). This is not acceptable. He was a terrific person. He would help anyone in need and anyone down on their luck. He owned his own home. He had many health problems this past year. The coroner said he suffered a heart attack. My heart is very saddened by this. Our family and the whole community will feel this loss. Do you know what “rest in peace” means? Leave his name alone. He is gone. Is that not enough? We, his family and friends, will miss him. Vanessa Burkhardt Noxen

A coffee container with no lid landed on the business floor, and those keys were amazingly still there. A lidded container that held 35 keys was gone. Limongelli spent hours that Sunday, Sept. 11, navigating slippery muck on neighboring properties along River Street, hoping to spot the blue Maxwell House coffee container in the wreckage, trying not to think of it as a needle in the haystack. He spotted one container and eagerly pried open the lid to find some bolts from his shop. Limongelli located his Dumpster washed down the road and manuals to a Mercedes he was repairing. Some of his business plaques ended up behind a church about three-quarters of a mile away, but no keys were found. He alerted township police and local businesses and residents to

As a result, the township got $6,256 more in state aid than it should have, and was asked to pay it back. The audit also noted that the township had used the $6,256 overpayment to meet its statemandated “minimum municipal obligation” payment into the pension fund, which meant the township either had to repay the money to the state from its own coffers, or take it from the pen-

She wasn’t inside the trailer Tuesday afternoon because it still had to be hooked up to electricity and her property’s sewage and water systems. The trailers, officially called “temporary housing units,” are 34 feet by 12 feet, with two bedrooms to accommodate a family of four. They come furnished and also contain pots, pans, dishes and silverware. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has also set up another trailer in front of a River Street home next to Solovey’s Service Station, and Plains Township Emergency Management Coordinator Charlie Krommes said he is aware of one or two more that were in the process of being delivered. Krommes said he does not know the total number that will be provided for township residents. Flood victims may remain

in the trailers for 18 months. FEMA officials have said the trailers may not be placed in a flood plain. Krommes said FEMA is defining a flood plain, an area defined as a high-risk zone on its federal flood maps. Properties in high-risk zones are required to carry flood insurance if the owners have an outstanding mortgage. No trailers are being placed at any locations that FEMA has identified as high-risk zones in the township, Krommes said.

FEMA spokesman Mike Sweet said Tuesday he has no statistics on the number of outstanding requests for temporary housing units in the county. The units are provided to flood victims with uninhabitable homes who can’t find a house or apartment to rent. Sweet has said FEMA cannot publicly release specific locations of trailers because of federal privacy laws. Flis said she had no flood insurance because she never had “a drop of water” in her home in

sion fund and then replace it. Municipalities are given the chance to read and respond to audits before they are released to the public, and the audit notes township officials “agreed with the findings without exception.” Township Manager John Sipper said Tuesday that all the issues had been resolved. Sipper said the officer received the larger increment because it was in the contract, and that the problem noted by the audit occurred because the township ordinance had not been updated to match the contract. Sipper said the ordinance has since been changed, but the retiree continues to receive the higher amount. State Auditor General Jack Wagner’s concern about the health of the police pension fund

stems from the township’s “funded ratio,” the percentage of total liabilities that can be covered by existing assets. The latest audit notes Hanover Township’s funded ratio was 61.8 percent. The previous audit of 200607 reported a ratio of 65.8 percent, which means the township is going in the wrong direction. Pension funds are considered in minimal distress if the ratio is between 70 percent and 89 percent, moderate distress between 50 percent and 69 percent, and severe distress below 50 percent. This is the third consecutive township state audit in which excess benefit payments were found. The 2006-07 and 2004-05 audits determined that some retirees had received cost-of-living increases that were higher than

She ended up with 5 feet on the first floor in the recent flood and lost many belongings, including a washer and a dryer that were moved to a building on higher ground that locals call the “club house.” That property also flooded, destroying the property of many families in the Plainsville section, she said. Flis said she felt like walking away for good when she saw the damage but has forced herself to clean up. “When I first came back, it looked like Armageddon,” she said, speaking above a humming generator. She is waiting to learn what grants and loans she may receive from the federal government. Her property needs new wiring, insulation, drywall, ceilings, a furnace, hot water heater and appliances, she said. Flis mourns the loss of tools and other sentimental items that belonged to her late husband, “Ziggy.” “You just function -- either that or you curl up in a ball,” she said.

allowed. The 2006-07 audit also found that some pension payments had been calculated by including lump-sum payments for accumulated unused sick days, which should not be considered as salary when computing a pension payment. Hanover Township police pension amounts are based on salary from the employee’s last three years. The latest audit notes the township has taken steps to prevent such errors in the future – by no longer including lumpsum payments in pension calculations, for example – but that “excess benefits are still being paid to existing retirees,” and the township doesn’t get any state aid toward those excess benefits.

PITTSTON TWP. – The township volunteer fire department and supervisors will hold a community drop-off to aid the flood victims of the Wyoming Valley from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Bryden Street Park.

LUZERNE COUNTY – The National Emergency Fund is set up to help current members of the American Legion and Sons of the American Legion in times of a declared natural disaster such as the recent flooding in the valley. Applicants must have been displaced from their primary residence, and the fund is only to meet immediate needs such as temporary housing, food, water, clothing, diapers, etc. Membership in the American Legion must be active at the time of the disaster and time of the application.

Residents are asked to register for assistance by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or via website www.DisasterAssistance.com. Businesses should also register for Small Business Administration loans by the same method. Assistance is also available for those affected through a local Disaster Recovery Center set up by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management (PEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

It was as upbeat as Joe Paterno has been all season. Never mind the much-too-close 16-10 win at Indiana over the weekend. The Penn State coach was looking to liven things up a bit on Tuesday, taking a few jabs at reporters and himself as well. “I don’t do a lot of play-calling anymore – I’m a cheerleader,” Paterno said with a laugh at his weekly press NEXT conference. GAME “Somebody IOWA (3-1) at called up and PENN STATE said I’m shrug(4-1) ging my shoulWhen: 3:30 ders or somep.m., Saturday thing, that I TV: ABC, should be … WNEP-16 ‘swaggering.’ “Pretty tough to swagger on a cane. But I’m good now. I’m gonna be swaggering all over the place. Don’t get in my way.” The 84-year-old coach will look to give it a go on the sideline for the entire game as the Nittany Lions host Iowa. He tried to set the tone Tuesday by being talkative and responsive to each question – even the ones about the team’s never-ending drama at quarterback. No, that doesn’t look to be changing this week, either. Penn State players said reps in practice on Monday were split as they had been in the first five weeks of the season. “I’ve got a reluctance to say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna play one just because everybody says to play one,’ ” Paterno said. “You’re talking to a guy that’s always been a one-quarterback guy. I always have been fortunate enough that we’ve had one guy that I could feel comfortable was the guy. This year we have two.” Though the rotation continues, Paterno wouldn’t say if the Lions would try and switch things up by starting Matt McGloin and bringing Rob Bolden in off the bench. “Yeah, I think that’s a good point, but I don’t think that I’m worried about that right now, See LIONS, Page 3B

ST. LOUIS — Charlie Manuel guessed right, twice. Tony La Russa, well, he wound up getting second-guessed. And on his 67th birthday. Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made their manager’s moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series. “To steal a game here, if worse comes to worst, we come back home and we’ve got another game with Doc (Halladay) on the mound,” Phillies slugger Ryan Howard said. “We put ourselves in a great situation.” Francisco batted for Cole Hamels and broke open a scoreless game with a two-out, three-run homer off Jaime Garcia in the seventh inning. The Cardinals stuck with Garcia instead of opting for a pinch-hitter with two on and two outs in the sixth. Garcia struck out, then lost his pitching touch. “Well, it didn’t work, so that’s See PHILLIES, Page 5B

The Yankees are likely to start rookie Ivan Nova against Doug Fister.

whether I start Bolden or McGloin,” Paterno said. “I don’t even know who is gonna start this week. You guys are gonna say, ‘He’s a big phony.’ But honest to goodness, I don’t know.” Infirmary report Cornerback D’Anton Lynn was listed as “possible” on the team’s injury report this week, but it sounds as though the three-year starter will sit again as a precaution. “Lynn, they gave him another test yesterday and they’re not sure yet whether he’s gonna be OK,” Paterno said. “He really wants to play this weekend. But I think the doctors are a little bit leery about pushing him too soon. They’re gonna give him another test (Wednesday) and see. But I think he’d be doubtful.” Lynn was taken to the hospital two weeks ago after suffering stingers down both of his arms because of a helmet-tohelmet collision. He has rejoined the team but has been monitored closely for concussion symptoms for the past week. His replacement, junior Stephon Morris, missed parts of the Indiana game with an ankle injury but should be ready to

smoked into the glass,” Mormina said. “It’s an unnecessary risk for the players to take.” Highlighting that risk was an icing play that occurred in a preseason game last Friday between the Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Wild. On the play, Oilers defenseman Taylor Fedun was in a foot race with Wild forward Eric Nystrom to touch the puck for an icing call. As the two players cross the goal line at full speed, Nystrom’s stick got tangled in Fedun’s skates, sending him violently into the boards. Fedun suffered a broken leg, had a rod inserted in his femur and faces a long recovery. It’s a play that Mormina said didn’t need to happen. “The (icing) rule needs to be changed. The way its set up now it’s really dangerous for the defensemen going back there,” he said. “You have two guys flying down the ice to touch the puck and there’s really nothing to stop them from hitting the wall. There’s no give in the boards.” Penguins captain Ryan Craig also leans toward doing away with the icing rule as it’s written. He read about the Fedun incident and said it (wasn’t pretty). Craig also played with another victim of an icing play – Kurtis

go against the Hawkeyes. Wide receivers Curtis Drake and Bill Belton did not make the trip to Indiana and Paterno said he did not expect either “to be a factor this week.” Drake is still not 100 percent comfortable coming off of a broken leg suffered in the offseason. Paterno said Belton had been unhappy with his playing time and missed a day of practice last week. He practiced with the squad on Monday. Back in the lineup Paterno said right tackle Chima Okoli will keep his starting job despite being replaced in the second quarter by Mike Farrell last week. “Chima will start,” Paterno said. “He’s been playing hurt. We put Farrell in there because we want to bring him along. He’s gonna be a pretty good football player. “Chima should be one of the better tackles around, but he’s really playing hurt. That’s to his credit. We put Farrell in there to give him a blow. I think Farrell did a pretty good job when he was in there.” Fellow senior Stephfon Green is moving on up. The tailback had been suspended twice since August before rejoining the squad working with the scout team. Paterno said Green is now practicing with the second-team and thirdteam offense.

ROSTER MOVES The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins trimmed their roster by eight players on Tuesday. Goaltenders Alex Kangas and Patrick Killeen, defensemen Andrew Hotham, Chad Langlais, and Nick Plastino and forwards Denver Manderson, Martin Moucha and Zack Torquato have been assigned to the Wheeling Nailers (ECHL). The Penguin’s active roster currently stands at 27 players, containing 18 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.

Foster, while the two were in Tampa Bay’s training camp in 2009. The year before, Foster missed most of the season after he broke his leg going into the boards on an icing call. “I remember how much struggle he had,” Craig said. “He did come back, but it’s a scary play. “For how many puck races there really are in a game, we don’t want to see anybody’s career end or be put in that situation.” To take away the touch-icing plays, however, would take away some of the offensive opportunities in the game, according to Penguins head coach John Hynes. Beating a defenseman to the puck and keeping the play alive leads to more valuable minutes in the offensive zone, he said. But the dangers that come

Matthews on course for a title

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Last year, Brandon Matthews broke a long drought for the Wyoming Valley Conference when he claimed the District 2 golf championship. Today, the Pittston Area senior and defending state champion will attempt to become a repeat champion of the tournament when he tees off at Elmhurst Country Club. Matthews has been playing his best golf of the season recently, despite a rough score early last week during the Wyoming Valley Conference Pre-District Tournament. He came back from that to shatter the course record at Fox Hill Country Club firing an 8-under par 63 in his next tournament. “I’m ready (for districts),” Matthews said last week after his record-breaking round. “To break the course record here by two, you can’t ask for much more going into districts.” Eighty-two golfers will participate in today’s event with Coughlin’s Shamus Gartley joining Matthews as the conference’s returning regional qualifier from a year ago. The participants will be trying to earn a medal by finishing in the top 10. They are also attempting to advance to the East Regional Championships Oct. 17 at Golden Oaks Golf Club in Fleetwood. Holy Redeemer’s Mariano Medico, who won the Pre-District event and his teammate Chase Makowski, who took second to Matthews in the Tryba Preseason Tournament, are two more of the top golfers from the WVC expected to challenge for a medal and a spot in regionals. Those golfers are expected to get strong competition from North Pocono’s Kenny Sames. Sames, a senior like Matthews, is also one of the top golfers in the state like the Pittston Area standout. Last year, Sames tied for third at the PIAA Championships. Earlier this year, he finished fourth in the Pennsylvania Junior Amateur and followed that with the 2010 Lackawanna County Amateur championship, a tournament consisting mainly of much older competition. In addition to the 34 male participants from the Wyoming Valley Conference in today’s tournament, will be joined by a pair of WVC females vying for the girls championship in Wyoming Area’s Courtney Melvin and Wyoming Valley West’s Leanne Dellarte. with the play aren’t overlooked by Hynes. “When there’s a race for the puck, the referees have to make sure the players going into that battle clearly know what it’s going to be,” Hynes said. “You have to have some respect, especially if the guy’s back is turned while going full-speed into the boards. “I think the touch icing is OK. It just has to be respected.” Mormina has another suggestion to replace the touch-icing but keep the benefits of the play in place. Rather than have a foot race to the boards, he said, use the top of the face-off circles instead. If the defenseman beats the forward to the top of the circles, the play is dead and icing is called. If the forward wins the race, then it’s a live play, Mormina said. “If the defenseman beats him back to the top of the circles, at least you have 15 feet to stop instead of touching the back wall and getting crushed,” he said. “You take enough hits in the game. That’s an unnecessary hit to take.” Craig said a change in the touch-icing play is long overdue, just like the rule changes that were made to eliminate hits to the head. “It’s sad that an incident like this (Fedun) is what takes it to the forefront and makes people look at things,” he said.

Gryskiewicz kills the comeback

Dallas hitter pounds down wicked blast that seals 3-2 victory over gritty Coughlin. By VAN ROSE For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE—Dallas threatened to make quick work of Coughlin on Monday in a battle of two teams that were desperately seeking a victory. The Mountaineers captured the first two games of the match, and appeared to be in control. However, Coughlin turned in a gritty performance, winning the next two games before falling just short of completing the comeback. With senior middle hitter Aubrey Gryskiewicz leading the way, Dallas eked out a 3-2 victory over the Crusaders in Wyoming Valley Conference girls volleyball action. The scores were 25-15, 25-20, 20-25, 23-25, 15-13. Dallas sealed the deal on a wicked blast by Gryskiewicz, who hit the ball past a Coughlin defender on the final play of the match. Gryskiewicz towered above the far left side of the net to notch the kill. “It felt great to hit the ball and see it deflect off the defender’s hands,” said Gryskiewicz, who was perfectly positioned for the deciding hit. “We worked so hard together. To have it all come down to the final play was a thrill.” Gryskiewicz turned in a stel-

to have her blast from 15-yards out gloved away. Casey Cole’s reverse-stick shot on a penalty corner with 11 minutes to play was kicked aside, as was another Newak rocket four minutes later. “They just beat us to the ball,” Wyoming Seminary (82-1) coach Karen Klassner said. “They took it to us in the second half.” Dessoye’s effort – on Crestwood’s 10th corner of the game – was the difference. She took the injection pass from Chandler Ackers, dribbled in from the top of the circle, deked to her left and flicked a shot. The ball squeezed between McDougal’s left arm and body, and fell into the goal. After the goal, Crestwood continued its attack. Marissa Surdi started a great rush with Maury Cronauer, Lindsay Hischak and Newak that ended with a shot just missing the far post. And Newak got free on a breakaway with three minutes remaining, but McDougal came out and made a sliding save. “She really kept us in the game,” Klassner said of her senior keeper. “She spent a good part of the day with the school nurse. She was not feeling well, and we didn’t know if she could play. But you couldn’t tell once the game started.” The Crestwood defense limit-

lar performance. She led the Mountaineers (2-6) with eight kills and a pair of blocks. She played well on both sides of the net, and seemed to be involved on most of the key plays for the winners. “I believe we lost games three and four due to a lack of communication,” Gryskiewicz said. “We weren’t really talking, but we did a good job when we had to. We played together (in game five) and that proved to be the difference.” Dallas took a 3-1 lead in game five, but Coughlin (1-7) drew even at 4-4 on a kill by Katie Rocker. The Mountaineers forged ahead, 13-8, on a kill by Marlee Nelston. However, Coughlin tied the match at 13-13 on an unforced error by Dallas. But then Gryskiewicz took things into her own hands. She notched a kill that gave Dallas a 14-13 lead, and followed up with the game winning spike. “Aubrey had an all around excellent game,” said Dallas coach Meredith Ohl. “She really stepped up in game five.” Dallas also got a superb effort from outside hitter Marlee Nelson, who had five service points, four aces and three kills. Nelson’s serving was a key factor in the Mountaineers wins in the first two games. “I just felt like I was in a zone when I was serving,” Nelson said. “It’s something that I’ve really concentrated on. I think

the difference in the match was we wanted it more.” Tanner Englehart had six kills and eight blocks for the Mountaineers, and Kelly Monaghan added two kills and three blocks. Julie Hughes led Coughlin with eight kills, five service points and seven digs. Danielle Georgetti had 14 assists and three blocks, while Kayla Eaton notched four kills, two blocks and six aces. Rocker had six kills and three aces. “We came together as a team and helped each other,” Hughes said. “We just had some bad luck, but I’m proud of how well pulled together.” Delaware Valley 3, Pittston Area 0

The Warriors cruised to a 25-6, 25-9, 25-7 sweep of the Patriots at home. Taylor Braunagel (six kills, three blocks), Carissa Dube (four kills, six service points, two blocks) and Jessica Balcarcel (25 service points, eight digs) led the way. Alexandra Kochis topped Pittston Area with six digs. Holy Redeemer 3, Hazleton Area 0

Sydney Kotch recorded 19 service points and five digs to lead the Royals to a 25-16, 2517, 25-11 victory. Allie Griswold contributed with 25 kills and seven blocks, while Julia Wignot finished with six kills, four digs and five points. Biz Eaton

Meg Baranko had two points, seven kills and 10 digs, and Monica Baranko finished with three points, three kills and seven digs. Wyoming Valley West 3, Berwick 1

The Spartans picked up a victory 25-22, 21-25, 25-19, 25-16 over Berwick. Jocelyn Amico had 17 assists, 14 points, eight digs, two kills and two aces for Valley West.

She made just four saves, but two came against Seminary freshman Alexis Quick in the first half. Quick got separation in front and took a set-up from Molly Turner for a scoring chance. After DeSpirito’s save, Quick pounded the rebound back at the cage, but DeSpirito was ready.

bad managing,” La Russa said. “I’m watching him pitch and was really pleased. I thought he was the guy to continue pitching and I knew the matchups were in our favor. ... It didn’t work.” Madson earned his first multi-inning save of the year. He got Allen Craig to ground sharply into a double play with the bases loaded to escape in the eighth, then worked around Yadier Molina’s RBI single in the ninth. Manuel’s reasoning: “I figured the game was on the line, and we had to stop them.” The Phillies, favored to win it all after a franchise-record 102-win season, can finish off the wild-card Cardinals in Game 4 on Wednesday, with Roy Oswalt opposing Edwin Jackson. The Cardinals are all too familiar with the win-or-else proposition. They won the NL wild card on the final day of the season, erasing a 10 ½-game deficit on Aug. 25 to overtake the Braves. “Listen, we flip the page and come back ready to play with the same energy we’ve been having the last six weeks,” said Albert Pujols, who had four hits. “We’ve been in this situation before.” Francisco’s shot on a 1-0 fastball from Garcia was only his second hit in 19 postseason at-bats. He hit six homers this season, the last on May 25 against the Reds. Francisco had been preparing for that moment against a lefty, and Manuel said after the game that he might have stuck with Francisco even if the Cardinals had changed pitchers. “I didn’t know it was a homer, I knew I hit it good,” Francisco said. “I saw it

bounce over the fence and just pure excitement, pure joy.” Hamels struck out eight in six scoreless innings and reversed a disturbing trend after allowing nine homers in September, with a pair of doubles by Pujols the only extra-base hits. He’s a franchisebest 7-4 in the postseason with a 3.09 ERA. “You don’t want to make mistakes, you don’t want to leave the ball over the plate,” Hamels said. “Every pitch mattered, every inning mattered. I knew I couldn’t let it get out of hand.” The Cardinals frustrated a seasonhigh crowd of 46,914 by stranding 14 runners. They set a National League record with 169 double-play balls this season. “Sometimes you’re going to get a bunch of hits, sometimes you’re going to get no hits with men on base,” Pujols said. “I don’t think Allen hit a ball that hard all season like he did with the bases loaded.” Ryan Theriot also had four hits for St. Louis, a heavy underdog in this series. The Cardinals had runners in scoring position in six innings but came up empty despite three hits in the eighth, including a pinch-hit single by Matt Holliday in only his second appearance of the series. The Cardinals’ decision to let Garcia bat with two on and two outs in the sixth backfired in a big way. Garcia struck out on Hamels’ 117th pitch and wasn’t the same in the seventh. The Phillies, held to three hits to that point, doubled that total in the seventh. Shane Victorino led off with a single and moved up on a passed ball before Carlos Ruiz was intentionally walked with two outs. Francisco, who had been 1 for 9 against Garcia, deposited a 1-0 fastball in the visitors’ bullpen in left-center.

playoffs. The Rangers finished with just six hits in the clincher. Texas reached the World Series for the first time last year, but lost to San Francisco. Down 2-0 early, the Rays literally rammed their way back into the game. Sean Rodriguez drew a one-out walk in the second and took off when Matt Joyce lined a two-out double to the gap in right-center field. Rodriguez barreled around third base and plowed into catcher Mike Napoli, jarring the ball loose. Rodriguez knocked Napoli backward, scrambled to his feet and touched the plate with his hand. Manager Ron Washington and the Rangers trainer left the dugout to check on the woozy Napoli, who remained in the game. Napoli got more attention inbetween innings and stayed in the lineup.

RANGERS Ian Kinsler led off the game for Texas by homering on the second pitch from rookie Jeremy Hellickson. Then it was Beltre’s turn. He came into the game in an 1-for-11 slump in this series before breaking loose. Maybe Beltre’s best day as a pro. “I think besides my first big league hit, this is right up there,” said the slugger, who spent last season with the Boston Red Sox. He’s back in the postseason for the first time since 2004, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Beltre became just the seventh player to homer three times in a postseason game, and the first since Adam Kennedy of the Angels in 2002. Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and George Brett also are on the list. Beltre connected in his first three atbats. Given a chance to tie the big league record of four homers in a game, he hit a routine flyout in the eighth against Wade Davis. “I was just trying to get a run there. Hit a line drive somewhere, maybe in the gap because they were trying to come back. ... Winning the game was more important for me than to hit the (fourth) homer,” Beltre said. Neftali Feliz gave up a run in the ninth inning before closing for his third save of the series, preserving the victory for Matt Harrison. Texas won for the fifth straight time on the road overall — all at Tropicana Field — in the opening round. The Rangers eliminated Tampa Bay in five games last year, winning three times in the Rays’ home stadium. Beltre hit solo shots off Hellickson in the second and fourth innings, and added another solo drive against Game 1 winner Matt Moore in the seventh. The Rays weren’t the only ones who had trouble keeping up with Beltre — a television cameraman trying to run alongside Beltre to capture the image as the star jogged home did a face-first pratfall. Beltre and Kinsler tied for the team lead with 32 homers, and Beltre had been on a late-season tear going into the

He owed the impressive line in large part to centerfielder Curtis Granderson, who made two terrific catches, and the one that ended the sixth inning was off the charts. Joe Girardi came to get Burnett after Don Kelly’s two-out single in the sixth. Rafael Soriano, who allowed Delmon Young’s go-ahead homer in Game 3, replaced Burnett. Jhonny Peralta, who doubled earlier off Burnett, sent a sinking liner toward the gap in left-center. Sprinting all out to his right, Granderson fully extended himself horizontally to make a diving catch. He also saved at least three runs in the first on Kelly’s bases-loaded liner, a ball Granderson initially misread. Burnett left with a 4-1 lead, and the Yankees blew it open with a six-run eighth, highlighted by run-scoring singles from pinch hitter Jesus Mon-

Turning into a state of turmoil Super Bowl dreams of Pennsylvania’s Eagles, Steelers getting sacked early. By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

AP FILE PHOTO

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles were in the middle of another fourth-quarter meltdown when the chant began echoing through the Linc: “Let’s Go Phillies!” The best team money can buy may have been overhyped. Michael Vick and Co. are off to a 1-3 start, drawing the ire of fans who’ve put all their hopes on the Phillies to win the World Series. Football has long been No. 1 in Philadelphia, but the City of Brotherly Love is a baseball town nowadays. So, when the Eagles blew a 20point lead and lost 24-23 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, fans didn’t boo as much as usual. Instead, they started cheering for the Phillies, who played Game 2 of the NL division series later that night a few blocks down the road. Across the state, fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have the same luxury. The Pirates haven’t reached the postseason since 1992, so there’s no October baseball in the Steel City to take attention away from the struggling Steelers. The defending AFC champions are 2-2, and don’t look like a team that could make another deep playoff run. It’s been 12 years since the Keystone State didn’t have a winning NFL team. With three-quarters of the season remaining, it’s still too early to panic. “We’ve got some work to do,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after a 17-10 loss at Houston on Sunday. “It’s not anything mystical.”

The Philadelphia Flyers’ hope winger Jaromir Jagr’s game remains the same.

Houston Texans’ Mario Williams (90) grabs Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) for a sack during the fourth quarter Sunday in Houston.

The Eagles have bigger problems. They’ve blown leads in the fourth quarter in three straight losses. “We’ve got to make sure we fix it. I obviously don’t like what I’m seeing, and I’m a part of that problem, so we’ve got to try to fix it,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “Each guy needs to take a close look at himself and I’ve got to make sure I’m looking at it even closer, because we’re not finishing games the way we’re supposed to finish games. That’s the bottom line.” At least the Steelers are undefeated at home. They beat Seattle 24-0 in Week 2 in their only game at Heinz Field. The Tennessee Titans (3-1) will visit Pittsburgh this Sunday. The Eagles are 0-2 at home after losing to the Giants and 49ers

in consecutive weeks. They’ll be on the road for the next two games, starting with a trip to Buffalo (3-1) this week. “I think right now we just have to figure it all out,” Vick said. “You know, you take the coaches out of the equation and you rely on the players, my teammates, to figure out what needs to be done. Our coaches can only give us so much. We have to take into consideration ourselves, that we go out and make it happen and that’s about it. They can’t come on the field and play for us. We have to go out and make it work. How we’ve got to get it done is how we’ve got to get it done.” Both teams are having trouble on defense. The Steelers are ranked 22nd overall against the run, allowing

4.8 yards per carry and 119.5 yards rushing per game. Arian Foster had 155 yards rushing against them in Houston’s win. “We are not tackling right now, but it’s all things we can fix,” cornerback William Gay said. “You look at the film and that is all you see — we just missed tackles. We have to correct that. That is a must for our defense. That is what we are going to do starting on Wednesday.” It’s not that simple for the Eagles. Poor tackling is just one of the problems for a defense that looks completely lost. Overall, the Eagles are ranked 16th in total defense and only two teams are worse against the run. Defensive coordinator Juan Castillo is taking much of the blame for the troubles.

No longer are Flyers fans whistling at him, mockingly, like they did when his mullet flapped in the chilled wind during his visits with Pittsburgh, Washington and the Rangers. No longer is he Public Enemy No. 1, like he was in parts of two decades. After scoring a total of four goals in three preseason games, the one-time villain -- right winger Jaromir Jagr, the Flyers’ new elder statesman – has become accepted. With open arms. Jagr – his locks trimmed, his smile effervescent, his scoring touch still intact after all these years – received rousing cheers during preseason games at the Wells Fargo Center. “I don’t think anyone expected him to come back and be as good as he has shown so far in camp,” said Danny Briere, who spent some preseason time on the power play with Jagr. “It’s very exciting for everyone. It’s exciting for me to have the chance to skate with him and to play with him." Jagr has played in 17 NHL seasons, won five league scoring titles and an MVP award, and he is the league’s active leader in career points (1,599, ninth in histo-

ry), goals (646, 12th) and assists (953, 14th). But at 39, and after playing the last three seasons in Russia, there were questions about how he would adjust to returning to the smaller NHL rinks. And while he downplays his preseason success, others don’t. “He’s clearly still got it,” Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. He also has a different attitude. He is more comfortable with himself than in his younger years, more mature than the guy who, in 1992, had been on two Stanley Cup champions in his first two seasons with Pittsburgh. That prompted Jagr, then 20 and in a contract squabble, to proclaim: “I have two Stanley Cup rings. I don’t need more rings. I just need money and beaches and girls.” Nearly two decades later, he laughs at those words. “Maybe when I was 20, I had an ego . . . when I said that,” said a grinning Jagr, adding he has been living with the same woman for the last six years. “I was dumb” back then. Jagr, whose presence should invigorate a power play that was 19th in the 30-team NHL last season, is content to play a supporting role. In fact, he relishes the role. “I’m here to help the younger guys,” he said.

Slot revenue rises

Revenue generated through the play of slot machines at Pennsylvania casinos during September rose 7.4 percent over the amount generated a year ago, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said Tuesday. According to the report, September gross slot revenue at the 10 operating casinos was $200.1 million, compared to $186.4 million a year earlier. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino in Plains Township reported a 4.9 percent revenue gain on its slot machines, to $18.9 million. It was the fourth largest percentage increase among the state’s 10 casinos, trailing The Rivers in Pittsburgh, The Sands in Bethlehem, and Mount Airy near Mount Pocono, which showed a 6.9 percent increase.

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke warned lawmakers Tuesday against cutting the budget too sharply with the U.S. economy still weak and facing new stresses from the European debt crisis. And the central bank chief expressed some empathy with protesters who have marched on Wall Street and in other cities in recent days complaining of the role of big financial

institutions in creating the current economic mess. “Very generally I think people are Bernanke quite unhappy with the state of the economy and what’s happening. They blame, with some justification, the problems in the financial sector for getting us into this mess and they’re dissatisfied with the policy response here in Washington,” Ber-

nanke told Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. Bernanke noted the difficulty for Congress to rein in the long-term federal budget deficit while trying “to avoid fiscal actions that could impede the ongoing economic recovery.” But he said that one factor weighing down the U.S. recovery is “the increasing drag” from cutbacks in government spending. The Fed has determined that U.S. banks do not have a large direct exposure to debt

from troubled nations such as Greece, Portugal and Ireland, he said. But a disorderly default by any of those countries or others in the eurozone “would create a huge amount of financial volatility globally” that would damage the U.S. economy. In that case, the Fed is prepared to act. “We would stand ready to provide as much liquidity against collateral as needed as lender of last resort to our banking system,” he said.

Stocks closed with a late afternoon rally on reports that European officials were working on a plan to prop up the region’s struggling banks. The jump erased earlier losses that put the S&P 500 index through the threshold indicating a bear market. Concerns about Greece’s debt sent the market down in early trading.

Many Republicans have criticized the Fed for its actions to try to boost economic growth, arguing they’ve been ineffective and have increased inflation. Sen. Robert Casey, DScranton, the committee’s chairman, defended the Fed. “Unemployment is stuck above 9 percent, and longterm unemployment remains at near-record levels,” Casey said. “We need to use every weapon in our arsenal to support a stronger economic recovery.”

Some of the investors bilked by Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff will soon be receiving some money back. The trustee charged with recovering funds for customers of the jailed financier says some $312 million will be distributed staring Wednesday on claims relating to 1,230 accounts. Trustee Irving Picard has recovered about $8.7 billion from investors who were paid fictitious profits by Madoff above the amount they invested. That’s about half the roughly $17.3 billion lost by Madoff customers who have filed claims.

Improved iPhone unveiled By RACHEL METZ and JORDAN ROBERTSON AP Technology Writers

UPERTINO, Calif. — Apple Inc. unveiled a new iPhone on Tuesday that is faster and more powerful but stops short of a more radical upgrade. It said Sprint customers will now be able to use one. The new iPhone 4S has an improved camera with a higher-resolution sensor. The processor is faster, which helps run smoother, more realistic action games. It’s also a “world phone,” which means that Verizon iPhones will be useable overseas, just as AT&T iPhones already are. There had been speculation that Apple would reveal a more radical revision of the phone, an “iPhone 5.” The noshow leaves room for speculation that Apple will reveal a new model in less than a year, perhaps one equipped to take advantage of Verizon’s and AT&T’s new high-speed data networks. Apple is including a “personal assistant” application called Siri in the iPhone 4S.

An advertisement about iPhone is shown before an announcement at Apple headquarters.

It responds to spoken questions and commands such as “Do I need an umbrella today?” It’s an advanced version of speech-recognition apps found on other phones. The new iPhone also comes with new mobile software that includes such features as the ability to sync content wirelessly, without having to plug the device to a Mac or Windows machine. The iPhone announcement came during Apple’s first major product event in years without Steve Jobs presiding.

New CEO Tim Cook led the show after Jobs, who has been battling health problems, resigned from the post in August. Cook said the latest iPhone, which came out in June 2010, sold more quickly than previous models, but the iPhone still has just 5 percent of the worldwide handset market. Apple is hoping to grow that with the new model. Apple said the new phone will come in black or white. It will cost $199 for a 16 gigabyte-version, $299 for 32 GB and $399 for 64 GB — all with a two-year service contract requirement. It will now be available through Sprint Nextel Corp., besides the existing carriers, AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless. Pre-orders will begin Friday with availability on Oct. 14. The event took place in Apple’s Town Hall room, where the first iPod was launched a decade ago. Cook said Apple has sold more than 300 million iPods worldwide so far. After falling $17.15 to $357.45 in afternoon trading, Apple stock closed at $372.50 Tuesday, down $2.10.

UAW, Ford OK pact hiking wages, boosting jobs The Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — The tentative agreement between the United Auto Workers union and Ford Motor Co. creates or retains 5,750 newly announced U.S. jobs, raises entry-level workers’ wages, redefines profit-sharing and gives most workers a $6,000 signing bonus, sweetening some of the gains negotiated for General Motors’ workers last month. The agreement will ultimately raise the hourly wage from $15.50 to $19.28 for workers hired after 2007, the UAW said Tuesday in a contract summary released to reporters. Ford will also offer buyouts of $50,000 to pro-

duction workers and $100,000 to skilled-trades workers, in an attempt to open jobs for more entry-level employees. Under the new profit-sharing formula, Ford workers would receive an average payout of $3,752 for Ford’s North American pre-tax profits of $3.752 billion in the first half of the year, the UAW said. The UAW and Ford reached the agreement early Tuesday morning after 10 weeks of bargaining, making Ford the second automaker, after General Motors Co., to reach a new deal with the union. GM ratified its deal last week, but the UAW may have a challenge selling the

LONDON – Airline profits forecast to total $28 billion in the three years through 2012 may be unsustainable as overcapacity and looming regulatory costs weigh on margins, the head of the IATA industry association says. Airlines will generate net income equal to 0.8 percent of revenue next year, a margin that may shrink further if economic growth slows to less than 2.4 percent, Tony Tyler, chief executive officer of the International Air Transport Association since July 1, said in an interview in London. “The natural condition of the airline industry is crisis,” Tyler said. “Occasionally, we’ve had short periods where the conditions are quite benign and everything goes quite well, and the danger is to believe that’s normal – and that’s wrong.” Cargo demand, IATA’s which is usually prediction tracked by the for airline passenger mar- earnings to drop almost ket, dropped 30 percent 3.8 percent in to $4.9 bilthe month com- lion in 2012 may prove pared with a too optimisyear earlier, tic should more than dou- the global ble the pace of economy slow furJuly’s slide. ther, said Tyler, who was CEO at Cathay Pacific Airways, Asia’s No. 1 international carrier, for almost four years. The industry has lost money in seven of the past 10 years, even as sales doubled to almost $550 billion. Figures released Monday show growth in passenger traffic at IATA’s 230 member airlines slowed to 4.5 percent in August from 6 percent in July, including a 0.3 percent slump in U.S. domestic travel. Cargo demand, which is usually tracked by the passenger market, dropped 3.8 percent in the month compared with a year earlier, more than double the pace of July’s slide. “We are in a time now of declining profitability,” Tyler said. “The latest traffic figures would reinforce this and possibly point to risks, if anything, being on the downside.” The industry’s precarious position is illustrated by a predicted net margin of just 1.2 percent this year, even after seat occupancy reached 81 percent in August and premium traffic rose 8.2 percent over the first seven months, allowing many carriers to raise business fares, Tyler said.

Despite some morning cloudiness bone-dry air will arrive from the northwest this afternoon, and this will serve to clear the sky and deliver another cold Canadian air mass into town for tonight. Under a clear, moonlit sky, frost could form in spots by dawn tomorrow. With a zone of high pressure dropping anchor later this week the weather will remain sunny with a warming trend into the weekend. Life is good once again!

CHEF’S CORNER RUTH CORCORAN

CORK BAR & RESTAURANT

Autumn brings a bumper crop of pumpkin treats

CORN AND ZUCCHINI SALAD Serves 6-8 5 ears corn, shucked 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 cups zucchini, cut in 1/4-inch dice 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 1 and 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or basil 1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn to the boiling water, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 3-5 minutes. Drain and immerse the corn in the ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, cut the kernels from the cob, cutting close to the cob. Place the kernels in a large bowl. 2. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the zucchini and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini to the bowl with the corn. 3. Add the red onion, vinegar, oil, remaining salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the herbs. Taste, adjust the seasoning as needed, and serve cold or at room temperature. — Eva Longoria, “Eva’s Kitchen” (Clarkson Potter, 224 pages, $29.99)

NOTHING SAYS fall like pumpkin, especially here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This time of year, I use pumpkin in recipes for everything from bisque to pasta and an array of wonderful desserts and drinks. I hope you will enjoy this wonderful pumpkin Bundt cake and pumpkin pie martini as much as we do! •••

PUMPKIN CAKE WITH MAPLE GLAZE

By JACKIE BURRELL

San Jose Mercury News

he calendar may call for autumnal fare, but in many places, Indian summer has a different agenda. And our dinner tables seek a compromise. We’re not quite ready for the heartier fare of fall, but simple greens don’t cut it either. What we need is something transitional, salads that celebrate the harvest but offer a little more heft — arugula tossed with heirloom melon slices, prosciutto and ripe figs, for example, or last-of-the-season nectarines with haricots verts, cured ham and watermelon radishes. Salads are perfect seasonal dinner fodder any time of year, says Oakland, Calif., food writer and pastry chef Romney Steele, author of two cookbook-memoirs about life at Big Sur and Nepenthe, the iconic restaurant owned by her family. This is peak time for melons, late-season figs and wild greens. Tomatoes are bursting off the vine, and fresh herbs are abundant. Steele, who has a visual-arts background, brings an artist’s eye to her newest book, “Plum Gorgeous” (Andrews McMeel, 178 pages, $25). Many of her edible masterpieces — and their recipes — were composed on the plate, where colorful fruits, salads

and even cured meats come together. There’s also an artistic element to the sweet summer corn and diced zucchini salad favored by restaurateur Eva Longoria. The “Desperate Housewives” star — and author of the new “Eva’s Kitchen” (Clarkson Potter, 224 pages, $29.99) — took a series of classes at Los Angeles’ ArtBites recently that combined culinary inspiration with art history. Each class began at a museum and finished in the kitchen, with a dish inspired by, in this case, an exhibit on the Aztec culture, for whom corn and squash were dietary staples. This Aztec-inspired salad bridges the seasons with colorful flair. Add some crumbled feta or queso fresco, or serve it with crostini, spread with fresh ricotta and drizzled with olive oil, and that corn-zucchini salad can play an entree role, too.

NECTARINE SALAD WITH HARICOTS VERTS AND CURED HAM Serves 3-4 1/2 pound haricots verts 1 small shallot, finely chopped 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 2 teaspoons Champagne or rice wine vinegar Few leaves each of basil and mint, finely slivered Salt, pepper Pinch sugar, optional 1 bunch watercress, rinsed and trimmed 2-3 nectarines, pitted and sliced into wedges 2 watermelon radishes, halved and thinly sliced Several thin slices cured ham, such as serrano or Niman Ranch’s Jambon Royale 1/4 cup Marcona almonds 1. Blanch the haricots verts in boiling salted water until tender to the bite, 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water, then spread on a plate to cool. 2. Whisk together the shallot, olive oil and vinegars; add the herbs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of sugar, if needed, to soften the vinaigrette. 3. Place the green beans in a bowl with the watercress, nectarines and radishes; gently toss with the vinaigrette. Arrange the salad on plates, tucking a couple of slices of ham into each. Scatter the almonds on top and serve. — Romney Steele, “Plum Gorgeous” (Andrews McMeel, 178 pages, $25)

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2011 PAGE 5C

Wife’s past experience looms large for husband in present marriage Dear Abby: I met my husband, “Jerome,” two years ago. During our courtship, he helped me to find faith. Because of that, I wanted a completely honest relationship with him and confessed to a “less than moral” experience that occurred several years before I met him. Apparently he was able to accept it, because he proposed and we have been married for several months. Recently, however, Jerome has been saying it’s bothering him and he doesn’t know how to let it go. I’m angry and hurt that something that happened long ago is now causing problems in my marriage. I’m afraid Jerome will never forgive

DEAR ABBY ADVICE me. He says he feels as though he has to compete with my past and doesn’t feel he can live up to it. How do I tackle this problem? I can’t change my past, I can’t take back what I told him, and I can’t do anything to change my husband. Please help. — Haunted by the Past Dear Haunted: First, stop apologizing. You are the sum total of all your experiences, and that’s the woman he married. Tell your husband you will not accept anything less than marriage counseling NOW. He knows about your “experience” because you

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

leveled with him. Make it clear that this isn’t a contest, and he’s all you want in a man. If he can’t accept it, there is no basis for a marriage, and little hope for a future together. Dear Abby: I have been invited to a wedding. The invitation included explicit instructions on what is appropriate attire. Ladies are “not to wear anything tight or revealing, or that doesn’t cover chest, back, knees and shoulders.” One of my friends said she wouldn’t go to such a wedding. Another said, “I don’t own anything that meets their dress code.” We are all three mature women who have always dressed conservatively. What’s your take on this? Am I right to feel insulted? — Clothing-Challenged in Oregon

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Clothing-Challenged: Not necessarily. It’s possible that the house of worship where the wedding will be heldmay be conservative or orthodox, which is why the women are being asked to cover themselves. If you feel the dress code is too much of an imposition, you should politely decline the invitation. Dear Abby: My granddaughter, who is 18, had a child last year. She kept the baby and dropped out of school. She is now working and has returned to school to get her GED. My husband has always loved her and helps her financially. My problem is she has twice stolen from a fund I keep for our church. My husband refuses to believe it. I think she gets an adrenaline rush

from stealing. What can I do about this? — At a Loss in South Carolina Dear At A Loss: Where are your granddaughter’s parents? Are they aware of what has been going on? If not, please inform them because if she’s stealing from you for the adrenaline rush, she is probably also doing it elsewhere. Someone needs to see that the girl receives counseling before her behavior lands her in serious trouble. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your observations are astute, especially in regard to a certain colleague. You might not like what you surmise from watching this person; however, you can use the information to your advantage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll express the creativity inside of you. You probably don’t even realize it’s there, but once you get in motion, you are suddenly amazed at the results. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the courage to move forward in spite of your fear. It’s not something you have to develop. There is bravery in you, and all you have to do is remember it’s there. It powers you ever forward. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your tendency toward perfectionism will be prominent. You’ll find that it’s not enough to do a fine job. You’ll keep going with the job until you reach the stellar result to which you are accustomed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be suddenly struck with the impulse to give yourself something you really, really want. The feeling is similar to the way you realize that if you don’t transfer money into your account, you could bounce a check. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll trace a zigzag course through this day. There’s a logic to this. Perhaps it hardly makes sense, but trust that you have your reasons. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your ego hardly ever needs as much attention as the other guy’s. That’s why you usually wind up doing the stroking instead of get-

ting stroked. Well, it’s your turn, and you should take it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will feel compelled on some very deep level to study a person. This isn’t someone you would typically think of as a role model, but he or she embodies a quality you want to obtain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An average person who focuses intently can become superhuman. That’s because focus is power. You will be increasingly mindful of where you put your attention. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You simply cannot force yourself to do what you don’t want to do. On a different day, under other circumstances, you would be able to do it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps your professional dealings are not as profitable as they could be because you have reasons other than financial for doing business. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be dealing with certain recurring and unhelpful thought processes. The best way is to ignore them. Tend to something else. Read a book. Look at pretty pictures. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 5). Widely diversified interests lead to exciting friendships and/or professional developments. Partnerships stabilize in November, and you could embark on a joint project that will be many years in the making. Your industrious nature will net you an award in December. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 24, 37 and 31.
