UNION TWP. – In a county where the hiring process of top-level administrators usually takes place behind closed doors with little if any public input, Northwest Area School District once again rose above the norm. The public on Monday night had the opportunity to hear from the two top candidates for superintendent about their qualifications for Gorham the job, goals for the district and why they believe they should be hired. Joseph Gorham, an elementary principal at Northwest Area, and Ron Grevera, an elementary principal at Crest- Grevera wood School District, each gave presentations to an audience of about 20 people in the high school library.

Traveling clown ambassadors Dave and Sherry showed them just what Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey is all about -- juggling, dancing and of course, laughing. “That is what we do best,” said Dave, a clown with the show for nearly 12 years. To the delight of audiences, the two clowns – married for nearly 20 years – put on several shows Sunday and Monday as part of a program, “Discovering the Circus, the History of The Greatest Show on Earth,” to highlight the 141-year-old circus that began in 1870 with P.T. Barnum’s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Circus. The show will perform at the arena beginning Oct. 27. The circus stopped coming to the Wilkes-Barre area in the 1950s after the circus discontinued use of canvas tents and performed only in sporting arenas.

JUDICIAL RACE

THE TIMES LEADER

Veteran district judge emphasizes ethical standards, independence in campaign for Luzerne County bench

Pierantoni wants to help restore the courts FRED PIERANTONI

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas needs to be put back on track and moving in the right direction, and Fred Pierantoni said he’s the right candidate to help restore a broken system. Pierantoni, 53, of Dupont, is one of seven candidates vying for six open seats on the county bench. For the past 20 years Pierantoni has been a district judge based in Pittston. He told The Times Leader’s endorsement board his experience in that post -- as well in his private civil practice and years as an assistant district attorney -have prepared him for the job. If elected to the bench, Pierantoni said he would work with members of county council who will be elected in November to work on budget constraints, ethics and personnel policies in county court. “As a district judge, every member of my staff already follows (a judicial conduct

He also has spoken about various aspects of the law and the legal system at local colleges, high schools and senior centers. If elected to preside over county court

matters, Pierantoni said, he will remind jurors of their obligation to serve, as well as the different aspects of a jury trial, which for most is a new experience for each juror who walks into a courtroom. “I would encourage them to keep an open mind … and listen to all evidence,” he said. Attorneys who conduct themselves in an unfavorable way, Pierantoni said, will be given a caution first. If an attorney does not correct behavior, Pierantoni said the appropriate measures will be taken, which can include being held in contempt. “You can’t lose control of the courtroom. If you do, you have a problem,” he said. For the November general election, Pierantoni said he expects to spend $50,000, approximately 80 percent of that coming from his and his wife’s own savings. Pierantoni said he is still accepting contributions from anyone willing to support him, and that he will disclose his campaign finance reports to anyone who appears in his courtroom. “Contributions would have no (weight

Paoloni said several area businesses have donated refreshments, and many people have committed to attend. Faith’s diagnosis came this July when her broken leg was not healing. It took her parents, Danielle and Andy Stoshak and her twin sister, Tiffany, by surprise and put their lives on hold.

Nancy Tkatch, whose contract the board decided not to renew because members thought “it was time to move in a different direction,” said Gina Swartz, one of five school board members who attended the presentation. Gorham, 40, outlined his major goals – evaluating and improving student safety, student progress and district policy and procedures. He pointed out some things he said needed improvement in the district and provided specific ways in which he would go about making those improvements. Grevera’s goals include student progress, accountability for students, teachers and principals, and establishing partnerships with various groups in the community. Expanding technology in teaching and learning is also key, he said, as is ensuring a “safe and supportive environment” in the schools. District resident Gerald Bau, who preceded Tkatch as superintendent, asked the first audience questions of the candidates – why they should be hired instead of the other candidate and about their administrative shortcomings. “If you have someone new that comes into a situation,” Gorham said, “no matter what their academic background is, no matter

what their experiences are in other areas, they’re not experienced in Northwest. … The bottom line is the learning curve, and developing that relationship is something I won’t have to go through.” “I know all of the people in this organization and, to get these things done, you have to have a relationship with these people. If you don’t have that relationship, you’re going to have to work on that first, which is going to delay progress,” he said. Gorham said his lack of patience is his shortcoming. “Although my Irish temper might flare and I might get very passionate about something, I’m quick to move on because I don’t hold a grudge,” he said. Grevera, 38, said he has a “history of working with people and working with teachers and trying to improve student achievement,” a proven record of working with people in the community, and administrative experience at the elementary, middle and high school levels. “I have a good understanding of what needs to happen at all three levels of instruction and education,” Grevera said. Regarding shortcomings, Grevera said no one is perfect and he has made mistakes over the years and doesn’t have all the answers. “But I’m here to listen …

Residents continue to point out potential problems with Chief Gathering’s proposal.

By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Residents continued to testify at a zoning hearing Monday against Chief Gathering LLC’s application to build a natural gas metering station off Hildebrandt Road. The company is proposing to construct a metering station about 1,300 feet away from the Dallas School District campus. The facility would measure gas flowing through a gathering line from wells in Susquehanna and Wyoming counties to the Transco interstate pipeline. Hearings have been ongoing since Febru-

Area counties OK’d for storm repair cash The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The federal government has approved aid for three Northeastern Pennsylvania counties to help repair roads and bridges damaged by Tropical Storm Lee last month. The White House confirmed Monday that President Obama approved public assistance for Luzerne, Susquehanna and Wyoming counties. A dozen counties in the commonwealth were approved earlier for public assistance as an addition to the Sept. 12 disaster declaration for individual assistance. collect data and information and work with the board,” he said. Bau gave Gorham credit for recognizing that building expansion was needed and a plan must be put in place, especially if the president’s jobs bill is passed with $45 billion allocated for modernizing old rural schools. He also appreciated that Grevera has experience as a principal dealing with PlanCon, a process initiated for a construction project and seeks state reimbursement. “Either one of them would be a good positive influence on the district,” Bau said. Interim Superintendent Gary Powlus provided the audience with forms to provide comments on the candidates and recommendations for the board. He said teachers and staff already met with the top candidates and have provided recommendations to the board. Board member Randy Tomasacci said transparency in the hiring process was very important to the board “so everyone knows there’s no back-room deals going on here, so they know it’s not a done deal, especially with everything going on in Luzerne County,” he said, referring to the county corruption probe. The board hired Tkatch in the same manner, with input from the public and other district employees, which is typical in government and school district hiring in neighboring Columbia County, Tomasacci said.

ary in the matter. Resident Jim DeMichele said he felt the gas industry has exhibited arrogance to the township and its citizens, and he cited editorials from local newspapers to show he wasn’t the only one who thought so. “I feel the industry is on the pace and has been able to do what they want, when they want, how they want, basically starting on the management of the state – Gov. (Tom) Corbett,” he said. Fairgrounds Road resident Wayne Dottor, who lives about 800 feet from the tap-in site on the Transco line, used a slideshow presentation to show his bad feelings about the project. He said the proposed facility can be moved away from its current location to a less-populated area. “I still don’t understand why it has to be there, next to the schools, next to my house,” he said. “The Luzerne County Fair-

grounds, where the Transco pipelines goes right through, very few people are there, very few houses … I can’t imagine that there’s not a route that can go around to get to the Luzerne County Fairgrounds, away from people and with a lot less risk.” Dottor also provided a description of his neighbors’ claim there was a natural gas release at the nearby site on Sept. 22 that he said has been denied by the Williams Co., which owns the Transco line. Williams Field Services LLC, a subsidiary of Williams Co., is currently building a pipeline to connect to the Transco line. Dottor said that because of this incident, he is worried the companies will pin the blame on each other in similar situations. “The nonsense has already started,” he said. A final witness on the opponents’ side will testify at the next hearing, and Chief may offer a rebuttal. Both parties will offer closing arguments and present findings of fact to the zoning hearing board before it can make a decision.

Banko’s serves up welcome reopening West Nanticoke restaurant back in business one month after flood. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH TWP. – Jeff Bankovich stood inside his flood ravaged restaurant the afternoon of Sept. 13 and vowed he’d reopen within a month. On Monday, he made good on that promise. Bankovich, owner of J.J. Banko’s Seafood, opened the doors to the popular restaurant and tavern at noon – exactly one month and a day after the business was flooded to the roof by the Susquehanna River. The restaurant, located at the intersection of routes 11 and 29, had to be gutted down to the wall studs. But customers who returned Monday said they were not surprised Bankovich was able to regroup and open so quickly. “We didn’t expect anything less,” said Karen Danilowicz, who was among the

first handful of customers to be served Monday. Danilowicz, whose daughter works as a bartender, stopped by to help with some last-minute cleanup. Banko’s is her favorite restaurant and she was thrilled that it’s back in business, she said. She was anxiously awaiting dinner time, when she would have her favorite dish, buffalo shrimp. “We’ve been waiting for this for so long,” Danilowicz said. “We were lost. We didn’t know where to go.” That sentiment was echoed by Kathy Bartkiewicz and Jason Sirak, who also stopped by Monday afternoon. “We came down to see what he did to get back into it,” Bartkiewicz said. “It’s very nice. He had quite a crew working with him.” Except for the workers who were putting finishing touches on an interior door and walls, evidence of the raging water and mud that filled the restaurant was nowhere to be found. “When I first came down here, it was

so sad. The water was to the top of the roof,” said bartender Kristen Kochanski. “I came here today and it’s like, ‘Oh my God!’ I’m so happy to get back in action and ready to roll.” Bankovich credited numerous friends and customers who assisted in the cleanup and reconstruction that helped him get the business up and running once again. “We couldn’t have done it without them,” he said. “There are so many good people out there who came down to help every day for a month.” Bankovich has endured three other floods since he has owned the business, but the September flood was by far the worst. Bar manager Paul Bankovich said he was looking forward to doing some cooking, which would be a nice change of pace from the past month. “I’m tried of hanging ceiling tiles and insulation,” he said. “It feels wonderful to be back cooking for friends.”

Civil trial to start today for W-B woman who was stopped by Kingston police in 2008. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Jury selection is set to begin today in the civil trial of a Wilkes-Barre woman who says a Kingston police officer improperly stopped and interrogated her after she dropped off two black friends at a strip club. Nicole Lee Niedzwiecki of Plymouth Avenue filed suit in 2010, alleging officer Jonathan Karasinski falsely charged her with disorderly conduct in order to justify his illegal traffic stop of her vehicle on May 14, 2008. According to the suit filed by attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr.: Niedzwiecki was traveling with several black friends when she dropped off two of the friends in a parking lot next to the Cabaret Lounge on Market Street at around 11 p.m. She and two other friends then pulled out of the lot en route to a convenience store. Karasinski immediately stopped Niedzwiecki’s vehicle and ordered her and her friends to get out of the car. Karasinski then advised Niedzwiecki there was an outstanding warrant for her arrest, which proved not to be true, the suit says. Niedzwiecki was taken into custody and Karasinski proceeded to search the vehicle based on his suspicion there were drugs inside, but no drugs were found, according to the suit. Prior to her arrival at the Kingston police station, Niedzwiecki was advised there was no warrant for her arrest, but she was being charged with disorderly conduct, a summary offense. She was later found not guilty of the charge by a district judge. In a pre-trial memorandum, Andrew Adair, attorney for Kingston, contends Karasinski did have sufficient legal reason to stop Niedzwiecki because she “screeched” her tires as she pulled out of the parking lot. Adair said Karasinski detected an odor of marijuana in the vehicle after he stopped the car and observed a marijuana cigarette next to Niedzwiecki. After learning Niedzwiecki had no prior involvement with law enforcement, Karasinski opted to charge her with disorderly conduct, rather than drug possession, “out of sympathy ... in order to avoid the appearance of any charges on (her) criminal record,” Adair said in court records. The case is set to go to trial today before U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik.

WILKES-BARRE – At opposite ends of Public Square, two rallies were being held Monday – one to urge U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta to vote for the American Jobs Act and the other to urge people to vote. Roxanne Pauline, a local labor activist, said a group of about 10 local unemployed workers came out to again urge Barletta, R-Hazleton, to vote for the Jobs Act, which Pauline said would create about 2,500 jobs in Barletta’s 11th Congressional District. Steve Simko, 63, of Harding, said he has been “bird dogging” Barletta for over a year to get a meeting. He said he was told he could meet with him in January. “Congress was back in session in Sep-

Simko said the economic climate in Northeastern Pennsylvania is grim. He said he made more money in 1968 than he can earn now. “What kind of jobs are we getting here? Warehouse jobs that pay $10 per hour?” Simko asked. “Yes, they are jobs, but when you take out taxes and health benefits, what are you left with? Not enough to raise a family. We need better paying jobs to keep our young people here after college.” In response, Shawn M. Kelly, Barletta’s communications director, said after the rally that just last week Senate Democrats refused to vote on the president’s bill. “So far this year, Rep. Barletta voted for at least 16 serious and substantial bills that would create jobs and grow the economy. Most of those bills are still sitting in

It didn’t matter what party, he said, just that they register and exercise their right. Monday was the last day to register to vote in the November General Election. “Most of the people I’ve talked to have said they want to see a change in WilkesBarre,” Jasikoff said.

‘Working Families’ county slate makes pitch Four candidates for the new Luzerne County Council announce agenda. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Four of the 28 Luzerne County Council candidates set up a podium outside the county courthouse Monday to announce their platform as members of the unionendorsed “Working Families for Luzerne County” slate. Facing an audience of supporters, the team – Democrats Linda McClosky Houck, Jane Walsh-Waitkus, Salvatore Licata and M. Theresa Morcavage -- pledged to help senior citizens, improve the climate for economic development, provide an open and transparent government and focus on reducing substance abuse. Such promises aren’t new in county government campaigns, but the four say they’re determined to make progress in these areas.

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry is reminding residents in 27 eligible Pennsylvania counties – including Luzerne and Wyoming counties -- of upcoming deadlines for filing Disaster Unemployment Assistance claims. The deadlines vary by county. An Oct. 14 deadline applies to residents unemployed due to the effects of Hurricane Irene in Luzerne, Monroe, Sullivan and Wyoming counties. An Oct. 14 deadline applies to residents unemployed due to the effects of Tropical Storm Lee in Columbia, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Sullivan, and Wyoming counties. Disaster unemployment assistance is intended to help individuals who are not eligible for benefits under the state’s regular unemployment insurance program. Those living or working in counties under the disaster declaration may be eligible for 26 weeks of assistance if they are out of work because of August and September’s flooding. Farmers and self-employed individuals may also be eligible. To apply, call 1-877-FILE DUA from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Individuals using a text telephone (TTY) may call toll free at 888-344-4046. PITTSTON

Two Americans share Nobel for economics

Thomas Sargent A mericans and Christopher Sims won

the Nobel economics prize on Monday for research that sheds light on the cause-and-effect relationship between the economy and policy instruments such as interest rates and government spending. Sargent and Sims — both 68 — carried out their research independently in the 1970s and ’80s, but it is highly relevant today as world governments and central banks seek ways to steer their economies away from another recession.

BAGHDAD

String of explosions in capital kill at least 10 A string of explosions targeting security officials — and people who rushed to the scene to help the injured — killed at least 10 people in western Baghdad Monday evening, officials said. The first explosion came from a roadside bomb in a Shiite neighborhood, targeting an Iraqi army patrol, a police official said. Minutes later, a second bomb exploded nearby, targeting a passing police patrol. As firefighters arrived on the scene of the first blast, the third bomb went off, an official said. TOLEDO, OHIO

A suspected Gadhafi loyalist is detained by revolutionary fighters Monday in Sirte, Libya. A representative of Libya’s ethnic Tuareg group says he believes Moammar Gadhafi is hiding in the desert.

Fighters celebrate gains Libyan rebel forces continue fight in Gadhafi’s hometown expecting fierce battle.

By CHRISTOPHER GILLETTE Associated Press

SIRTE, Libya — Jubilant revolutionary forces raised their tricolor flag Monday over a convention center in Sirte that served as a base for Moammar Gadhafi’s loyalists there, but fighting surged elsewhere in the fugitive leader’s hometown. Col. Younis al-Abdally, a commander in Sirte, said his troops have surrounded pro-Gadhafi fighters in a small area in the upscale Dollar Street. He conceded the final battle is likely to be a fierce one, saying he has information one of Gadhafi’s sons and a number of top officials from the ousted leader’s regime are holed up in villas in Sirte. He spoke as tank, rocket and machine-gun fire echoed through the streets around the

Ouagadougou Convention Center, an ornate complex that Gadhafi frequently used for international summit meetings. The capture of the walled complex was a symbolic victory because Gadhafi fighters have used it as a base and stronghold throughout a weekslong siege of the Mediterranean coastal city by forces of the new government. Revolutionary forces also claimed significant gains in the inland enclave of Bani Walid, after weeks of faltering advances that resulted in part from the challenging terrain of desert hills and steep valleys. Bani Walid is believed to be harboring high level figures from the Gadhafi regime. Libya’s de facto leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, head of the governing National Transitional Council, said Sunday he expected both cities to be seized within a week. Similar predictions in the past have not been fulfilled. Heavy fighting raged in Sirte

on Monday as fighters pushed through residential areas that have been used as cover for the former regime’s snipers. The transitional leadership, eager to move forward with efforts to hold elections and establish a democracy, has said it will declare that Libya has been liberated after Sirte falls. A team from the International Committee of the Red Cross entered Sirte’s Ibn Sina Hospital Monday to evacuate wounded people left behind after three weeks of fighting. Abdallah Etbiga, a doctor there, said more than 100 patients, including several wounded children and their families, were trapped in the hospital. Sirte is key to the physical unity of the nation of some 6 million people, since it lies roughly in the center of the coastal plain where most Libyans live, blocking the easiest routes between east and west.

MIAMI — Seven people, including a 4-year-old girl, survived 20 hours at sea by clinging to their capsized boat and a small blue cooler after their vessel flipped during a fishing trip off the Florida Keys, officials said Monday. An 80-year-old woman who was with the group is missing and presumed drowned. Three other women on board told rescuers they didn’t have time to grab life jackets for anyone except the girl when two waves suddenly flipped the boat off Long Key in choppy, rainy waters Saturday afternoon, Seaman Kendra Graves said. Three men on board tried to help the 80-year-old woman, but she went under the water within minutes of the 22-foot-long boat capsizing, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Spokesman Robert Dube. “She was one of men’s mother — he could not hold onto his mother and she went under,” Dube said. At some point, the boaters drifted apart — three women and the girl hanging on to the cooler; three men holding on to the boat. A commercial fisherman spotted the capsized boat Sunday morning, Dube said, and rescued the men clinging to its bow. The women and girl were soon picked up by the Coast Guard, several miles from where the boat had capsized. The group of women started waving and yelling for help when they saw the Coast Guard vessel, Graves said. “They were hanging onto the cooler. It was afloat, but its main

purpose was to keep them together,” Graves said. Once aboard, the women asked about the men. The identities and conditions of the survivors had not been released as of Monday afternoon. All the boaters were family members who had left Layton, in the Middle Keys, to go fishing early Saturday, Dube said. The women said they had been fishing from their anchored boat about 3.5 miles off the Middle Keys when the boat flipped. The Coast Guard met the commercial fishing boat to bring the men ashore for medical attention. The boaters were wrapped in blankets and treated for shock and hypothermia. It wasn’t clear if the boaters were aware of a small craft advisory that had been posted early Saturday warning of wind speeds of 23-38 mph and seas 7 feet or higher as torrential rains poured over the Keys and South Florida.

OUR OPINION: FIRE SAFETY

Prevention week falls at ideal time

HE GREAT Chicago Fire erupted 140 years ago this month, leaving behind a deadly legacy and a persistent rumor that the multi-day conflagration was sparked by a lantern-kicking cow. The episode’s more beneficial and fact-based offshoot, however, is this: National Fire Prevention Week. The annual observance in early October reminds all Americans of the common-sense safety measures that each of us should take around our homes and businesses to prevent an unwanted brush with danger or an all-out disaster. Area fire companies, including those from Dupont and Avoca that plan a mock accident Sunday, will do their best to snag residents’ attention if only for a few minutes of safety-related dos and don’ts. Although many preventionweek publications and activities are aimed at children, adults need to get the message, too. That’s evident by this year’s theme: Protect Your Family from Fire. Does your family have a home-fire escape plan and

know what to do, including where to safely rendezvous outside your house or apartment? Do you practice your escape drill at least twice a year? Is your home or apartment adequately equipped with smoke detectors? Are those detectors working properly? Do you realize most home fires start in the kitchen? Do you and your family members recognize the hazards posed in the home by burning cigarettes, unattended candles and certain heating equipment? Take a few minutes this week to talk with your loved ones about fire safety. October is the ideal time in Northeastern Pennsylvania to have these conversations: Temperatures are dropping, daylight hours lessening and holidays looming, meaning more people will be lighting fireplaces, furnaces and potentially candles – all of which require attentiveness and care. Do your part to prevent fires and avoid a catastrophe.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “They want more cabins, more bathrooms, more electrical access and they want Wi-Fi.” Rick Allan The secretary of the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, who is a former Wilkes-Barre resident, said today’s state park users expect modern conveniences when they visit the natural areas, many of which have buildings that were constructed in the 1930s and ’40s.

OTHER OPINION: SHALE DRILLING

Gas ‘impact fee’ well short of fair

LTHOUGH Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has called for counties and local municipalities to impose an impact fee on firms extracting natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation, it doesn’t go far enough and virtually gives away a Pennsylvania resource. Corbett called for an impact fee of up to $160,000 per well paid over 10 years to help pay for the cost to regulate the drilling and fix any environmental damage. If Corbett’s proposal were to clear the Legislature intact, 75 percent of the funds collected would be split by counties and municipalities that are home to the drilling for a wide range of uses, including improvements to roads, bridges and water and sewer systems. The revenue also could be used for social services and emergency responders. The remaining 25 percent would go to the state for environmental protection, road and bridge improvements, health studies, emergency response and pipeline safety. Corbett estimates that the

plan would generate up to $120 million in the first year and up to $195 million by the sixth year, which hardly would register in a state budget of $27.15 billion. It is substantially less than the proposals put forth by many in the Legislature, including some in the governor’s own Republican Party. Nevertheless, legislative leaders generally offered early support for the governor’s impact-fee proposal. But as we have said before, Pennsylvania is the largest gasand oil-producing state in the nation that does not impose an extraction tax. Concerns that a tax would kill the industry, as Corbett reiterated, are unfounded. If the gas deposits in the Marcellus Shale are going to be tapped, the drillers are going to have to do business in Pennsylvania. The drillers are not going anywhere. The jobs will be created. State officials owe it to the people they represent to extract a fair price from the companies doing business in Pennsylvania, and that means more than $160,000 per well over 10 years. Reading Eagle

MARK E. JONES Editorial Page Editor PRASHANT SHITUT President/Impressions Media

Misguided attack of Obama prevents honest critique ARE YOU ready for some fallout? The most recent poster boy for political incivility is country singer Hank Williams Jr. During a frequently awkward “Fox and Friends” last week, Williams said President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner’s “golf summit” last summer was analogous to a pairing of Adolf Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I think we all know who was supposed to be the Hitler figure in Williams’ mind. His comment is yet another reminder that Hitler references never work. I cringed every time someone likened George W. Bush’s America to Nazi Germany, and the offensive comparisons have grown only more common since Obama’s election in 2008. And as I’ve written in the past, their prevalence threatens to cheapen the unimaginable tragedy of the Holocaust. In Williams’ case, the irony is that his empty reference to one of the most reprehensible criminals in history only served to obscure several legitimate criticisms of the president. In fact, as I read about the ill-fated interview, my quick scan of newspaper front pages found several valid points of disapproval that Williams – a frequent critic who once said then-Sen. Obama was “not real crazy about” the national anthem – could have highlighted. He could have talked about newly released emails showing that the adminis-

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY MICHAEL SMERCONISH tration had overlooked written concerns about Solyndra, the solar-equipment manufacturer that was the beneficiary of a $528 million government loan and is now in bankruptcy. The emails show that the White House was so eager to orchestrate a presidential visit to the company’s California factory that caution was thrown to the wind. Speaking of emails, another batch shows that the Department of Justice was aware that operatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had lost track of roughly 2,000 guns whose illegal purchase and transport to Mexico were being monitored as part of the “Fast and Furious” program. The weapons have since started turning up at crime scenes – including the site at which a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed. Third, Williams could have raised constitutional questions about the killing of U.S.born terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki. Fourth, he could have highlighted reports that Pakistan’s military had engaged in several firefights with U.S. and Afghani troops patrolling the Afghan-Pakistan border over the last year, and wondered why our government continues to send billions of dollars to the Pakistanis. And surely he could have found fault in

some aspect of the president’s $447 billion American Jobs Act. My point is that there is plenty of room for legitimate debate about the direction of the country. But sometimes substance doesn’t sell. What does? Openly wishing for the president to fail. Saying he has a deep-seated hatred of white people. Or now, a misguided Hitler reference. What always amazes me is when such cheap shots are offered by observers anxious to proclaim their own patriotism. No, you can’t have it both ways. There is nothing patriotic about calling the commander in chief the enemy, which Williams also managed to do. Whether the occupier of the Oval Office is George W. Bush or Barack Obama, that sort of commentary is un-American. Williams’ “apology,” meanwhile, was unconvincing. After initially calling the comparison “extreme – but it was to make a point,” Williams said in a statement last Tuesday that he was “very sorry if it offended anyone.” Then added: “This was not written by some publicist.” We know, Hank, because a professional would have told you to take out the qualifier. Clearly, you did say something offensive – and the rest of us are recoiling in disgust with good reason. Michael Smerconish writes a weekly column for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

hank you to The Times Leader for reprinting the Chicago Tribune article about pain and posture (“Improve posture, prevent pain,” Oct. 4). In addition to the exercises listed in the piece, I also would recommend yoga as a great practice for those people suffering from poor posture and back pain. As a yoga instructor and owner of Balance Yoga and Wellness in Forty Fort, I have seen many students overcome pain and poor posture through yoga. Yoga – which is a series of exercises linked to breath work – strengthens the core and muscles throughout the body, alleviating stress on the back and enabling yoga students to walk taller and stronger. One of our students even “grew” an inch from steady practice. There are yoga classes throughout our community and many with beginners classes or classes for those suffering from pain and injury. Our studio even offers a class called “Align Your Spine,” taught by a certified yoga instructor and physical therapist who alleviated her back pain through

yoga. Those people new to yoga and/or those suffering from back pain should simply alert the instructor to this concern. Jennifer Ciarimboli Owner, Balance Yoga and Wellness Forty Fort

City council candidate promises accountability

am a candidate for council in the city of Wilkes-Barre, District D, which includes parts of the Parsons, Miners Mills, East End and Heights neighborhoods. One of the reasons I’m running is that there is a lack of accountability in our city government.

DOONESBURY

Wilkes-Barre’s home rule charter is written to allow the mayor to hire and terminate most city employees. It recently was reported in both local newspapers that Mayor Tom Leighton hired his children for seasonal city jobs for the last eight years. The Pennsylvania Ethics Act prohibits elected officials from hiring their immediate family members. Similar laws also exist at the federal level. A newspaper noted that Mayor Leighton hired his children by signing an executive order and that Councilman Bill Barrett admitted to seeing the executive order and apparently failed to initiate action to stop the ongoing practice. There is clearly a lack of oversight and accountability by Councilman Barrett and the other four council members. If elected to council, you have my guarantee that when an apparent violation of a law is discovered I will take all necessary action to end the unlawful practice. This is one of my reasons for running for city council.

she was pregnant anyway, but started to grow desperate as what would be her due date approached. She told investigators she planned for two weeks to find a pregnant woman, take the baby and make it hers, the complaint said. Morales-Rodriguez drove around on Wednesday searching for a pregnant woman, but found none, authorities said. On Thursday she drove around a nonprofit organization that provides Hispanics with health care and found Ramirez-Cruz. The 23-year-old had moved from Puerto Rico to join her childhood sweetheart, Christian Mercado, said Mercadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Carlos Mercado. They already had three children together and Ramirez-Cruz was carrying their fourth. Morales-Rodriguez told detectives she thought about telling her boyfriend the truth, but decided against it and offered Ramirez-Cruz a ride. Telling Ramirez-Cruz she needed to change her shoes, she drove them to her weathered two-story house on Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south side. Ramirez-Cruz went inside to use the bath-

room. When she emerged, Morales-Rodriguez was waiting for her with a baseball bat. She hit Ramirez-Cruz and choked her until Ramirez-Cruz passed out. She then used the knife to cut out the fetus, but the baby wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathing, Morales-Rodriguez said. Then she called 911 and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d given birth to a stillborn. She was taken to a hospital, but left before she was fully examined, the complaint said. An autopsy the next day revealed that the baby wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the product of a natural birth. Police returned to Morales-Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house that day and took her back to the hospital. An examination verified she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given birth and officers arrested her. Morales-Rodriguez is due back in court Oct. 19 for a preliminary hearing. Similar cases of women taking an unborn child from a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb were reported in Massachusetts and Oregon in 2009, in Pennsylvania in 2007, in Illinois in 2006 and Missouri in 2004. Garcia said she was convinced Morales-Ramirez was pregnant, saying she even rubbed her belly. The last time Garcia saw her, on Oct. 3, Morales-Ramirez told her she was going to have a Cesarean section in two weeks.

Rangers in Cruz control

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

DETROIT — Matthew Stafford’s second touchdown pass put Detroit ahead in the third and Jahvid Best’s 88-yard run later in the quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead in a 24-13 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday night. The Lions (5-0) are undefeated through five games for the first time since 1956 — the year before their last NFL title. The defending NFC North champion Bears LIONS (2-3) are off to their worst start since 2007. They are three BEARS games behind Detroit and defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay in the division. Detroit and its fans were clearly fired up for the franchise’s first Monday night game in a decade. The Lions had their largest crowd at Ford Field and the 67,861 fans created enough noise to rattle the Bears into nine false starts. Best’s touchdown was the second-longest run in franchise history behind Bob Hoernschemeyer’s 96-yard scoring run in 1950. Stafford threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson in the second quarter. The Bears looked unnerved at times by the raucous Ford Field crowd. Chicago committed six false start penalties in the first half — an NFL season-high for a game, according to STATS, LLC. The Bears were able to move the ball when they weren’t making mistakes before the snap. Matt Forte ran for 111 yards through three quarters, and Jay Cutler was 16 of 21 for 129 yards. Bears quarterback Jake Cutler threw a 9yard touchdown pass to Kellen Davis with 1:11 left in the second quarter to give the Bears a 10-7 lead. Johnson’s touchdown catch was his ninth this season. In Detroit’s previous game, he became the first NFL player to catch more than one touchdown pass in each of the first four games of a season.

Texas Rangers’ Nelson Cruz, center, and teammates celebrate after he hit a grand slam in the 11th inning of Game 2 of the American League championship series to beat the Detroit Tigers 7-3 on Monday in Arlington, Texas.

Historic grand slam gives Texas 2-0 lead By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas — Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, lifting the Texas Rangers over the Detroit Tigers 7-3 in 11 innings Monday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series. Cruz also hit a tying home run in Albert the seventh Pujols inning. His second homer of

and Robinson Cano of the Yankees also hit them. STATS LLC confirmed that Cruz’s shot was the first slam to end a postseason game — with a postscript. Robin Ventura sent a tiebreaking drive over the fence to finish a New York Mets victory against Atlanta in the 1999 NLCS, but was swarmed by teammates between first and second. Ventura never made it around the bases and was officially credited with a single. His 15th-inning drive for a 4-3

Pujols powers Cards past Brewers By DAVID LENNON Newsday

With so much talk about the animosity between these two teams, it was Pujols who seemed to play Monday’s game with malicious intent. Even when Pujols made his only out of the night — grounding to second in the eighth inning — the bat shattered into pieces. What remained of the usually raucous crowd mustered a sarcastic cheer. Game 1 was all about Milwaukee’s muscle, with Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder entertaining the crowd with tape-measure home runs to

t was supposed to be a pitching staff for the ages, an unbeatable team, an automatic parade down Broad Street after another World Series win. But the Philadelphia Phillies forgot one thing. “There’s no team,” Phillies ace Roy Halladay said, “where you’re guaranteed to win anything.” Were the Phillies supposed to be a sure thing? Were they supposed to be at home for Game 2 of the National League championship series Monday night instead of heading home for the winter? That’s what everybody figured when the Phillies added their old ace Cliff Lee to a premier pitching staff that already included All-Stars Halladay, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. It was supposed to make the Phillies a dynasty, not a first-round playoff disappointment. “It’s hard to go home early,” outfielder Raul Ibanez said in a somber Phillies clubhouse after Philadelphia was defeated in the National League division playoffs by St. Louis. “Everybody in here thought we were going to be playing. We expected to play, we expected to be out there.” You know why the Phillies were left out? They didn’t play hungry. They didn’t press for enough big hits, didn’t steal bases, didn’t manufacture runs the way the Cardinals did. The Phillies thought they already had their big payoff with their starting pitching. They were unconcerned about losing the five-game division series to St. Louis, putting it on their superior pitching to carry them through the postseason the way it did during a baseball-best 102-victory regular season. Instead, it became a regular funeral procession as Philadelphia’s World Series plans were carried out the door. “This one might hurt more,” said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, whose team fell short of a world championship for the third straight postseason after winning the 2008 World Series. “This is the most pitching I ever had, depth-wise. Right now, I’ve got some anger. “I just feel very empty.” The Phillies should feel foolish. They tried to buy another championship by adding big names – Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, right fielder Hunter Pence – through trades and free agency over the past couple of years. Go ask the Yankees how well that works, after all their wheeling and dealing brought them exactly one world championship over the last 11 seasons. The 2008 season was special for the Phillies because they played hard, they played with passion, and they played to win every night. “Sometimes things go your way,” said Halladay, who was out-pitched during a 1-0 loss in Game 5 against St. Louis. “Sometimes you’ve got to fight.” Maybe the Phillies forgot how. Instead, they played with a Yankeestype arrogance, downplaying the importance of team work while daring teams to try and beat their pitching. Guess what? St. Louis did. “I think we’re every bit as good as, or better than, the teams we’ve been playing, overall,” Manuel said. He’s probably right. But the best talent isn’t always a sure thing. Sometimes, it’s the team that plays the best together that wins. “It’s crushing,” Ibanez said. “Very difficult. It’s a hard pill to swallow.” It’s called a dose of reality.

DISTRICT 2 TENNIS: DOUBLES TOURNAMENT

Seminary’s Joanlanne, Syal top seed in Class 2A By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timelseader.com

Coming off impressive showings in the singles tournament last week, Nathalie Joanlanne and Sheena Syal of Wyoming Seminary earned the top Class 2A seed in the District 2 Doubles Tournament, which begins today at Kirby Park. Each was a top-5 seed in singles, with Joanlanne reaching the finals. Syal was eliminated in the quarterfinals. “The competition is different,”

Joanlanne said last week. “Kendra (Croker, the District 2 Class 2A champ from Scranton Prep) won’t be there, so that defeats one of the competition. But there’s still plenty of others out there that will be a challenge.” The freshman impressed fans throughout last week’s singles tourney with the smoothness in her game. Joanlanne made difficult shots look effortless as she won 48 of the first 53 games she played in the tournament. “I’ve been playing ever since I

could pick up a racket,” Joanlanne said. “The game just comes to me naturally. You can’t be really good at something unless you are happy doing it. And I just love playing.” Joanlanne’s mother, Allison, founded and heads the Misericordia tennis teams, topping her distinguished list of tennis accomplishments. She has been a guiding force in her daughter’s development. The top WVC pairing in Class 3A features Kristi Bowman and

Brittany Stanton of Crestwood, who have a first-round bye as the No. 3 seed. Bowman reached the quarterfinals of the singles tournament, where she lost in three sets. Stanton advanced to the second round in singles. Another Wyoming Seminary team, Emma Spath and Jane Henry, is the No. 3 seed in Class 2A. In all, six of the eight seeds were awarded to WVC teams. The Crestwood duo is the lone seeded pairing from the WVC in the Class 3A bracket. Class 2A draw

Koziol’s eight aces lift Knights

Nanticoke blanks Wyoming Area

The Lake-Lehman senior has a big night in an important WVC Division 3 showdown.

EXETER -- Serra Degman scored the game’s only goal as Nanticoke defeated Wyoming Area 1-0 in a WVC Division 2 matchup Monday. Brianna Murray added an assist for Nanticoke. Alexa Gorski posted five saves in the shutout.

By VAN ROSE For The Times Leader

LEHMAN TWP.—Wyoming Area did a good job of keeping Lake-Lehman heavy hitter Tiffany Oplinger from going on a tear Monday. However, the Warriors had no answer for Kayla Koziol. The 5-foot-7 senior outside hitter had a breakout performance to lead the Black Knights to a 3-1 victory over Wyoming Area in Wyoming Valley Conference volleyball action. The scores were 25-15, 21-25, 25-23, 25-13. Koziol had an outstanding overall match, but it was her serving that proved to be the difference in the fourth game. She notched three consecutive aces that gave the Black Knights a 19-8 lead. Koziol finished with 16 service points, eight aces, 20 digs and two kills. She consistently kept the Warriors’ defense on the run with her pinpoint serves. “I felt really good,” Koziol said. “I was bummed when I hit the ball into the net (twice), but I was able to get back on track. They (Wyoming Area) played really good, but in the fourth game we played like we know we can.” Wyoming Area outside hitter Kate Kross said that Koziol caused her team problems, especially at crucial times in the match. “”No. 7 (Koziol) was their biggest threat. Her serves were outstanding.” Koziol also was a major factor in Lake-Lehman’s 25-15 win in game one. The Black Knights (6-1) forged a 14-13 lead on a kill by Casterline, but stretched the margin to 22-13 on two aces

by Koziol. However, the Warriors (2-7) fought back to post a 25-21 win in game two. They were led by Kross, who had four kills, including a spike that put Wyoming Area ahead to stay at 19-18. Lake-Lehman had the upper hand throughout most of game three, forging an 18-12 lead en route to a 25-23 win. Casterline said the Black Knights underestimated the Warriors. “We haven’t had a close game against them, and we weren’t ready in game two. However, we showed how we can play in game four.” Casterline posted six kills and 12 service points, while Oplinger had 11 kills and eight digs. Carol Mosier dished out 22 assits. Kross led the Warriors with eight kills, six service points

and three digs. Gabby Bohan had seven kills, while Audrey Hiedacavage had 22 assists and 10 service points. “We played really well, probably our best match of the season, but we kind of lost focus in game four,” said Wyoming Area coach Noah Pickett. “Our intensity slipped a bit in the end.” Nanticoke 3, GAR 0 Nanticoke swept GAR 25-2, 25-11, 25-8. Nicole Novakaski had 13 service points with 11 aces and eight assists, while Taylor Briggs had 18 service points to go with 13 aces and three kills, and Kayley Schinski had seven kills and four service points. GAR’S Brittany Stephenson lead with four service points, three digs, and one kill.

MMI Prep 3, Meyers 1 Houston Young had 25 service points and nine aces as host MMI Prep took three straight games after dropping the first. Young also had 18 digs and eight kills.

Hedberg, Martin Brodeur’s backup, drew an early start after not making his first start last year until the eighth game. He improved to 4-0 over the last two seasons against the Hurricanes. Islanders 2, Wild 1 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Andrew MacDonald and Frans Nielsen scored first-period goals and the New York Islanders hung on to beat Minnesota. Al Montoya made 20 saves in his second straight start over Rick DiPietro. Unlike his outing in the season-opening 2-0 loss to Florida on Saturday, Montoya got some offense and held off the Wild to give the Islanders their first win of the season.

Montoya lost his shutout bid 1:13 into the third period when Matt Cullen scored his second goal in two games. Minnesota lost its first road game of the season after opening with a 4-2 home win over Columbus on Saturday. Blues 5, Flames 2 ST. LOUIS — Alex Pietrangelo had a goal and an assist to lead St. Louis to its first win of the season. Alex Steen, Chris Stewart, Kevin Shattenkirk and Jason Arnott also scored, and Andy McDonald added a pair of assists for the Blues, who got 15 saves from Jaroslav Halak. Stars 2, Coyotes 1 DALLAS — Mike Ribeiro beat Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith with the final shot of the first shootout round,

giving the Dallas Stars a victory. Canucks 3, Blue Jackets 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Alexandre Burrows’ power-play goal midway through the third period capped the Canucks’ comeback victory that sent the Blue Jackets to their first 0-3 start in franchise history. Chris Higgins and Cody Hodgson also scored for the Canucks. Cory Schneider had 23 saves, almost half of which came in the opening period. Capitals 6, Lightning 5 WASHINGTON — Matt Hendricks and Alexander Semin scored shootout goals to give Washington the victory in the teams’ first meeting since the Lightning swept the Capitals in four games in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season.

TCU accepts invitation to join Big 12

FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU has accepted an invitation to join the Big 12 Conference. Athletic director Chris Del Conte says the opportunity is “living proof that dreams do come true.” Monday’s move could provide some much-needed stability to the Big 12, which lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12) over the summer and will lose Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference next year. Missouri is also exploring a move to the SEC. TCU currently competes in the Mountain West Conference and was set to join the Big East next July. Instead, the Big 12 went public with its interest in TCU last week. Del Conte says TCU will pay an exit fee, but declined to confirm it was the $5 million required by the Big East policy.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Coach Mike Stoops has been fired halfway through his eighth season at Arizona. Athletic director Greg Byrne announced Stoops’ dismissal at a news conference Monday evening, two days after the Wildcats lost their fifth straight game, 37-27 at previously winless Oregon State. Dating to last season, Arizona has lost 10 of 11 games, the lone victory this season’s opener over Northern Arizona, a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) school. Stoops had a 41-50 record with the Wildcats. He was codefensive coordinator on his brother Bob’s staff at Oklahoma before he was hired at Arizona. His 2010 team started the season 7-1 but lost its last five, including a 36-10 blowout to Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl. NFL

Fox won’t commit to QB until today

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Fox is going to wait a day to announce his starting quarterback. The Denver Broncos coach gave his players the day off Monday and didn’t want to let everyone else know before Tim Tebow or Kyle Orton finds out. Tebow replaced Orton and energized the Broncos and their fans before coming up short in a 29-24 loss to San Diego on Sunday. Despite his flawed footwork and trouble handling the snaps from center J.D. Walton, Tebow threw for a touchdown and ran for another in nearly erasing a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit. Fox insisted he didn’t even know himself who his quarterback will be. He said he’ll meet with his staff and review the film Monday, then reveal his decision when his players reconvene Tuesday. NBA

First two weeks of season canceled

NEW YORK — NBA Commissioner David Stern has canceled the first two weeks of the season after owners and players were unable to reach a new labor deal and end the lockout. Top negotiators for both sides met for more than seven hours Monday, returning to bargaining about 14 hours after ending talks Sunday night. Stern says both sides are “very far apart on virtually all issues. ... We just have a gulf that separates us.” Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, owners Peter Holt of San Antonio, Glen Taylor of Minnesota and James Dolan of New York, and senior vice president and deputy general counsel Dan Rube met with union executive director Billy Hunter, president Derek Fisher of the Lakers and vice president Maurice Evans of the Wizards, and attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Ron Klempner. Owners locked out the players July 1 when they couldn’t reach a deal before the expiration of the old collective bargaining agreement. Opening night was scheduled for Nov. 1.

Another KO for Patriots By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

HUGHESTOWN – Not many teams in the Wyoming Valley Conference can throw a powerful one-two punch at its opponents. Pittston Area is one team that can. That was proven again Monday, as the Patriots knocked off Tunkhannock 4-0 -- getting two goals and assist from Jordan Consagra, and a goal and assist from Pietro Colella. The duo has combined for 122 points, with Consagra’s 62 and Colella’s 60 ranking first and second in the conference. “We have a beautiful connection,” Consagra said about his relationship with Colella on the field. “We read each other. He knows what I’m thinking. I know what he’s thinking. He’s feeding me the ball. I’m feeding him the ball. We’re all doing great out there.” Consagra, who has 27 goals and eight assists this season, got the scoring started for the Patriots, who improved to 9-3 in the WVC’s Division II. Consagra took a pass from Ian Tracy and beat Tunkhannock keeper Zac Daniels just 30 seconds into the match for a quick 1-0 lead. Getting a fast start is something Pittston Area has started doing recently and did the same thing last week against Dallas. “I think we have speed that you’re not expecting up front,” Pittston Area coach Pat O’Boyle said. “Piet and Jordan, those kids can fly so we seem to be getting one of those early and a little bit of momentum, and just kind of building off of it.” Consagra, a sophomore, received a pass from Colella to give his team a 2-0 lead late in the first half. Consagra dished a pass to Matt Tavaglione, who found the back of the net about a minute later for a 3-0 lead heading into halftime. Colella, a senior, put the finishing touches on the victory with a tally in the second

half assisted by Chris Musto. Colella ended the afternoon with 25 goals and 10 assists on the season. Those staggering team numbers for the Patriots have catapulted them near the top of the Division II standings, trailing just Lake-Lehman (10-2). In the race for the three seeds in the District 2 Class 3A tournament, the Patriots are behind Coughlin (7-3) and they host Wyoming Valley West (7-3) this afternoon. Tunkhannock (8-5), also 3A, would be the No. 4 seed if the playoffs started today and would have to win a play-in game against a Lackawanna League team. “We’re doing phenomenal. I can’t complain,” Consagra added. “Actions speak louder than words and we’re playing up to our standards right now. We’re going to try to give it all we got.” After amassing 34 goals in their last five matches, the Tigers were shutout for just the second time this season. Senior Ryan Karnopp, who has 60 points this season (27 goals, 6 assists) was held scoreless by a stifling Patriots defense despite taking four of Tunkhannock’s nine shots.

each power alley. Monday night, Pujols got into the act with a two-run rocket off Shaun Marcum in the first inning. Pujols, who had only one RBI in his first six playoff games, knew in an instant that it was gone, yet he lingered near the batter’s box until the ball clanged off the facade of the second deck in leftfield — just to the right of the Brewers’ 1982 pennant. It was his 14th career postseason homer, moving him ahead of Jim Edmonds for the franchise record. Up to that point, Pujols had been relatively quiet this October. At times, he limped from heel and ankle problems, but Pujols looked fine circling the bases. Not that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa had been especially worried about his threetime MVP heading into a pivotal Game 2. “I think Albert goes in every game and he works his stroke,” La Russa said Monday afternoon. “If he’s a little bit off, he’s good. And if it’s right on, he’s great. I think he could be the hitting star today and nobody should be surprised.” La Russa’s words turned out to be prophetic as Pujols continued his assault against Marcum and whoever followed him on the mound. In the third inning, with two on, Pujols drilled another liner that sailed over the head of a leaping centerfielder Nyjer Morgan. That allowed Pujols to easily cruise into second base with a two-run double. Once he got there, Pujols pointed to the sky, clapped his hands and then pointed to the dugout with his arms outstretched. Was Pujols rubbing it in the face of the Brewers with his own celebratory gesture? Maybe.

RANGERS Continued from Page 1B

Mets win in Game 5 came to be known as “the grand slam-single.” The Tigers and Rangers both blew bases-loaded chances in the ninth. Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus made a juggling, overthe-shoulder catch in shallow center field on a flare by Victor Martinez, cradling the ball against his chest to end the inning. Andrus and Texas partowner Nolan Ryan each flashed a sheepish smile. In the Texas ninth, Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera started and ended a nifty double play on Mitch Moreland’s sharp grounder. David Murphy hit a flyball to shallow left for the first out, keeping the bases loaded. Texas relievers combined for 81⁄3 scoreless innings, starting the string shortly after Ryan Raburn’s three-run homer off starter Derek Holland put the Tigers ahead 3-2 in the third. Game 3 is tonight in Detroit. Colby Lewis, 4-0 in five career postseason starts, pitches for the defending AL champion Rangers against Doug Fister. Michael Young, the Rangers’ career hits leader, snapped an 0-for-15 postseason slide when he led off the 11th with a single off Perry, the fifth Detroit pitcher. Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli followed with singles, the latter on a liner to right-center that looked as though it would be caught. Instead, right fielder Andy Dirks let the ball glance off his

That certainly wouldn’t be out of place in this rivalry. But he wasn’t finished yet, either. After the Brewers closed to within 5-2 on a two-run homer by Rickie Weeks in the fourth inning, manager Ron Roenicke called on Marco Estrada to replace Marcum for the fifth. Apparently, Estrada hadn’t been watching the game before his arrival. After a leadoff double by Jon Jay, Estrada fell behind 2-and-0 to Pujols before throwing him a 91-mph fastball that should not have been anywhere near the plate. But it was, and Pujols smacked an RBI double to rightfield. Not only that, once Pujols made it to third on a groundout, he even scored on a wild pitch. The ball wound up only a few feet behind Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy, but Marcum wasn’t too enthusiastic about standing on the plate with Pujols bearing down on him.

By DAVE CARPENTER AP Personal Finance Writer

CHICAGO — Americans have been forced to take a crash course in money management, and class is still in session. One economic challenge after another has tested the financial strength of most everyone in recent years, and more hurdles loom ahead as signs of an economic slowdown mount. Although results are mixed, many families have shown they are up to the task. By necessity, they’ve toughened up and become more disciplined about their finances. They’re saving more, paying down debt and charging less on their credit cards. For the fourth straight year, on average, individuals are saving more than 5 percent of their after-tax income. Back in 2007, they were setting aside less than half that. Such changes in behavior may not be permanent. But they’re a noteworthy development following years when so many overspent, overborrowed and

INCOMES FELL SINCE RECESSION END

A new analysis of Census data by Gordon Green and John Coder, economists who both worked at the Census Bureau for more than 25 years, estimates that the median household income is now $49,909, down $3,609 – or 6.7 percent – in the two years since the recession ended. The figure reached as high as $55,309 in December 2007, at the beginning of the recession. A separate analysis by state found Pennsylvania at No. 22, with a median household income of $49,288.

were neglectful if not downright oblivious about basic finances. “Each succeeding generation since the Depression has gotten further and further away from financial discipline,” says financial planner Mark Balasa. “Some (people) are getting religion now — having it forced upon them.” Indeed, Balasa says his clients at Itasca, Ill.-based Balasa Dinverno Foltz,

which manages about $1 billion in assets, are focusing more than ever on controlling spending, savings and tax liabilities. It won’t be easy. Couples, families and single people are all facing disheartening trends. Among them: • Median household income has fallen for three straight years, declining 6.4 percent from $52,823 in 2007 to $49,445 in 2010. • The portion of households living in poverty grew to15.1percent last year, encompassing a record 46.2 million people. For a family of four, that meant income of less than $22,314. • More families are “doubling up” because of the economy. The number of combined households rose to 21.8 million this spring, up from 19.7 million in 2007. • The faltering housing market is squeezing homeowners. On average they have just 38.6 percent equity in their homes, down from 61 percent a decade ago.

The announcement by Central Huijin Investment Ltd., an arm of the sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp., came after the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index closed at its lowest level in more than two years, losing 0.6 percent to 2,344.79.

Bears on the run?

By CHIP CUTTER and FRANCESCA LEVY AP Business Writers

EW YORK — What bear market? Stocks surged on the latest positivenewsoutofEuropeon Monday, the fourth sharp increase in the last five days. It’s a dramatic turnaround from last Tuesday, when the S&P 500 index nearly fell enough to meet the definition of a bear market. Since then the widelyusedindexhassoared8.7percent. Indexes soared in the U.S. and Europe after French and German leaders promised to strengthen European banks. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy

said they would finalize a “comprehensive response” to the debt crisis by the end of the month, including a plan to make sure European banks have adequate capital. Investors have been worried that European leaders weren’t moving quickly enough to contain the fallout from a default by Greece’s government. “The more we can put our arms around the problem with a little more detail, the better, and time frames usually help,” said Michael Sansoterra, a portfolio manager at Silvant Capital Management in Atlanta. Investors have been worried that a default by Greece could cause the value of Greek bonds held by those banks to

plunge,hurtingtheirbalancesheets.U.S. banks could also be affected if Greece goes through a messy default, since they own Greek bonds and also have close ties to European banks. Apple Inc. rose 5.1 percent to $388.81 after reporting that first-day orders for its new iPhone topped 1 million. Alcoa Inc. willbecomethefirstmajorU.S.company to report third-quarter results after the closing bell Tuesday. The aluminum maker’s stock rose 3.9 percent to $10.09. Bond trading was closed for the Columbus Day holiday. Ten stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading volume was light at 3.8 billion.

Voice command: Addressing the silent feature IF YOU’VE GOT a modern-ish cell phone (and it doesn’t have to be a smartphone), odds are it supports voice command of some sort. If you have a smartphone, it’s likely that the speech recognition features are quite good. Yet, outside of Bluetooth communications, how many of us actually use the voice command feature? My phone, for example, allows me to dictate text and e-mail messages, make Google searches, dial out, play music or videos, enter a URL or contact information, or run virtually any app with the sound of my voice. How often have I actually used any of that? I can’t remember the last time. Perhaps part of the reason is that I’ve tried with many other devices and it just hasn’t worked well. I’d say "Call home,” the phone would reply “Calling Rome” and then proceed to place a $150 international call. My current device is actually quite good with speech recognition, but

TECH TALK

NICK DELORENZO there’s still some reluctance on my part based upon past experience. But more important, if you try to use voice command in any environment where there are other people around, they’ll think you’re talking to them (which is confusing) or to yourself (also not a good thing). It doesn’t matter if they see you using your phone; we’re either wired from birth or conditioned by society to react when a person begins speaking, and if they’re speaking at an inanimate object, well, they’re just weird. Apple’s new Siri app allows users to make casual conversation with their devices – in order to request information. It’s certainly a bit more natural than bellowing “Call Five-Five-FiveOne-Two-One-Two” or “Greek restaurants” into our devices – and it would raise less of an eyebrow if you suddenly said “I could go for some food.” It’s a more natural statement, and it doesn’t

require a response from the other person. Maybe small tweaks like this will help ease interaction with mobile devices. In my view, what’s really missing here is etiquette. When is it appropriate to address technology vocally? Should there be some distinct way you start the conversation? In Star Trek, for example, they always began each request with “Computer…” and proceeded to stare up at the ceiling expectantly while Majel Barrett presumably ran a Google search backstage. Granted, our computers are a great deal less advanced (and a great deal less fictional), but maybe it’s time to take a page from sci-fi. Will voice command ever really catch on? Maybe, but only in specific situations. It would be pretty annoying if everyone in the office was gabbing away with their computers all day.

Netflix will cancel split services By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Netflix has been generating more head-scratching plot twists than a cheap B-movie. On Monday, the company said it would reverse a previously announced decision to put its DVD-by-mail and Internet streaming services on separate websites, a plan that was widely derided by Netflix subscribers. People will be able to use both services under one account and one password, CEO Reed Hastings said Monday in a blog post. Netflix Inc., however, plans to stick to pricing plans introduced in June, which means subscribers are now paying separately for streaming service and mailed DVDs. That change amounted to a price increase for most subscribers. Investors sent Netflix stock on a roller coaster ride after the announcement; after rising as high as $128.50 shares closedat$111.62,downnearly5percent. Less than a month ago, Netflix said it would split the DVD rental business off to a new website, to be called Qwikster. Subscribers howled at the move, saying they saw Netflix as a destination for movies in general and didn’t want to manage two accounts. Netflix’s decision to stay one website is likely to please subscribers. But its turbulent relationship with subscribers over the last three months raises questions about the company’s management, as it attempts the transition from a DVD-by-mail business to one that largely delivers movies streamed over the Internet.

Trade pacts move forward By JIM SPENCER Minneapolis Star Tribune

WASHINGTON — Years of legislative gridlock on three U.S. trade agreements has given way to a rare bipartisan push in recent days, leading to a growing belief that the deals will be approved and, proponents say, provide a boost to the U.S. economy. Trade pacts with South Korea, Panama and Colombia are expected to be approved by the House as early as Wednesday, and the Senate should take action within the next few weeks, according to sources in Congress and within the Obama administration. If the three trade pacts are approved, tariffs would be eliminated or reduced on a variety of U.S. goods and services, which is expected to increase U.S. exports by more than $13 billion and create tens of thousands of jobs, according to the International Trade Commission. The recent political momentum for the trade agreements is somewhat surprising, given the polarized nature of Congress in the past several months and worries that the pacts will cost the U.S. more jobs than they create. The trade deals were negotiated as far back as 2006. As political pressure mounts to boost the economy, the trade deals have emerged as the only major economic legislation that can get through the GOPcontrolled House and that has the support of President Barack Obama, said Norman Ornstein, a congressional analyst for the American Enterprise Institute. Both sides have plenty of incentive to get the trade package approved, Ornstein said, since there’s so little agreement elsewhere.

Mastectomy not only option By ANDREA WALKER The Baltimore Sun

If you’re young with early-stage breast cancer, a mastectomy isn’t your only option for treatment, according to a study by the University of Maryland. Researchers found that a lumpectomy and radiation is just as viable. The results of the analysis of nearly 15,000 patients listed in a nationwide cancer registry were being presented at the recent 2011 Breast Cancer Symposium in San Francisco. The researchers said that mastectomies have been on the rise among young women because of concerns regarding cancer recurrence.

“We believe these findings are very significant for young women with early-stage breast cancer who might choose to have a mastectomy in the hope of improving their outcome,” Steven J. Feigenberg, a radiation oncologist at the University of Maryland and lead author of the study, said in a statement. “This study confirms that breast-conservation therapy is a safe, effective treatment option and will not have a detrimental effect on survival.” Previous studies have suggested that young women have higher local recurrences of their cancer with breast-conservation therapy, but these studies did not demonstrate an effect on survival, Feigenberg said.

The mammogram decision

onflicting information from credible medical authorities can make the decision about when to have a mammogram confusing. GuidelinesestablishedbytheU.S.Preventive Services Task Force in 2009 suggest women ages 50 to 74 years old should have an annual mammogram. They also advised physicians against teaching self-examinations. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists along with the American Cancer Society recommends that women start receiving annual or biannual mammograms at age 40, and annually starting at age 50. Dr. Satish Patel, chairman of the Radiology Department at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Wilkes-Barre, and Jamey Powell, clinical manager of the Women’s Imaging Center at the Thomas P. Saxton Medical Pavilion, Edwardsville, agree with the American Cancer

Societyguidelines.Theyciteearlydetectionofbreastcancerincreasesthesurvival rate of the patient. “Survival rates have improved by 70 percent,” Patel said. “There has been no change in the amount of cases diagnosis.” Breastcanceraffectsmenandwomen. Patel said nationwide, 230,480 women and 2,140 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Powell and Patel advise women to discuss their individual risk factors with their physicians to determine when to begin mammography. Although breast cancer can have a hereditary component, the National Cancer Institute states it also can be caused by such environmental factors as poor nutrition, low physical activity and excessive drinking. “Just because there is not a family history of breast cancer, does not mean you See MAMMOGRAM, Page 3C

Once her treatments ended, Swank visited the class often. The children were excited to see her light brown hair slowly growing back. “This reminds me of a statistic, one in eight will develop breast cancer, which means two of those little girls will develop breast cancer,” she said. “Hopefully, by making them aware at such a young age will help them.” In September 1996, Wojnar lost her mother, Judy, at age 54,

On her road to recovery, Swank recalled receiving a letter from a little girl in her son’s second-grade class. It was one of many letters, Swank said. She wrote, “Mrs. Swank I think you are the only person I ever known to have cancer.” “I thought, I probably am, so I have to set an example,” she said. See SURVIVE, Page 5C

Tending to special needs By HOLLY VAN LEUVEN For The Times Leader

reast cancer knows no boundaries. It affects unexpected people: men and women, teenagers and the elderly. No matter who breast cancer touches, it seems unlikely that anyone can ever be truly prepared for it. Thankfully, the effort in the Wyoming Valley by an inspiring network of businesses, services and survivors working to ensure support for patients knows no boundaries, either. Eva Ofcharsky worked for several retailers that offered products for breast cancer patients before opening That Special Woman, a women’s health care boutique in Edwardsville, in 1996. Ofcharsky says, “When patients are going through chemo and not feeling well, or after surgery, going from place to place for the products they need is tiring. Women had to go here, there and everywhere. I wanted to create a place where clients could get all of the services they need in one place.” Ofcharsky offers products such as breast prostheses, bras and postsurgical camisoles as well as hair loss products such as human hair, synthetics and integration pieces. She is also a certified Reiki Master and offers the therapy at the boutique. “Reiki promotes relaxation and calming during the treatment process and helps with emotional and mental healing,” she says. At That Special Woman, clients can schedule appointments in a one-to-one private setting. Fifteen years after the boutique’s opening, Ofcharsky has created “a foundation of friendship” for her clients

teaching tools available at the Thomas P. Saxton Medical Pavilion to teach women what a healthy breast should look and feel like. Powell advises self examinations should be done the same time every month about 7 to 10 days after menstruation. She said hormone changes occur during menstruation which will affect the way breasts feel. Another fact Patel said is the risk of breast cancer increases with age. Powell has seen situations where older women in the 65 to 70 age range stop coming in for mammograms thinking it was a risk they had grew out of. “The risk of developing breast cancer increases with age,” Patel

are free and clear,” Powell said. Patel advises women with a family history of breast cancer to start having annual mammograms beginning at age 35. Self-examinations do play a preventive role in finding breast cancer early, if done correctly. Patel, said 60 to 70 percent of cases of breast cancer are found through self-examination. Women should be taught the proper procedure and how a healthy breast should feel, he said. Normal fatty deposits can feel like a lump, but does not indicate cancer. Patel said there are See MAMMOGRAM, Page 4C

Partial irradiation called effective SPECIAL

By HOLLY VAN LEUVEN

For The Times Leader

artial Breast Irradiation (PBI) is not only a less taxing and more convenient alternative to traditional radiation therapy for breast cancer patients, but research suggests it is just as effective. Approved by the FDA in 2002, PBI slashes treatment time from the traditional five to seven weeks to just five to seven days. This alternative radiation is available locally through Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, and the service is expected to arrive at Geisinger Wyoming Valley within a calendar year.

Dr. Thomas Gergel, director of the radio oncology stereotactic radio surgery program at Geisinger Health System, discussed why PBI proves a more viable option than conventional treatments for some patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients best suited to receiving partial breast irradiation are those in the early stages of breast cancer who have undergone breast-conserving surgery and whose tumors are 2 to 3 cm or less with negative lymph nodes,â&#x20AC;? said Gergel. He explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partial breast irradiation involves treatment of only the portion of the breast that includes the lumpectomy cavity, plus a limited amount of surrounding tissue. Because a smaller volume of breast tissue is irradiated, treatment times are significantly shorter than conventional treatment.â&#x20AC;? Whereas radiation methods that target the entire breast require daily treatment for an average of six weeks, PBI is administered twice daily for one week as an outpatient procedure. Gergel explained the typical process for a breast cancer patient undergoing PBI. Once a patient receives breastconserving surgery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either a lumpectomy or a partial mastectomy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a clear pathology report, imaging is used to study the cavity of the breast where the tumor was

removed. The patient undergoes a very simple outpatient surgery to have a balloon placed in the cavity. During treatGergel ment, a small radioactive source at the end of a wire sends radiation to the balloon for 10 minutes, ensuring that radiation is concentrated precisely to the targeted tissue. Patients do not remain radioactive after treatments and the balloon is easily removed after the week through a hole in the skin. Gergel estimates that each treatment takes 1 hour and notes daily treatments must be received 6 hours apart. The cons against receiving PBI remain few. The main one that Gergel points out is that the amount of research data available for the procedureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness is comparatively low when measured against older treatment methods. He says data about PBI is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not as robust or comprehensive. We have10 to15 or 20 years of data on typical radiation. We are just starting to get 8- to 10-year data (for PBI). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of data for 40- to 50-year-olds or younger. But what data there is says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as effective as traditional radiation.â&#x20AC;? A large ongoing study is being

conducted by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) to assure that PBI is equivalent to other forms of treatment. With more than 4,000 women participating, Gergel says that more nuanced data â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as whether a certain age group benefits more from PBI, or if a patient can receive PBI with one positive lymph node â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be forthcoming in a few years. In the meantime, radiation and breast study institutions have worked to create the established criteria for the procedure. Gergel said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five years ago when this was brand new, doctors had a hard time getting the procedure accepted by insurance. But as data has matured, it has become much easier.â&#x20AC;? While Gergel did not provide exact costs of PBI at this point in time, his research just a few years back indicated that the costs of PBI and traditional radiation were â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty comparable, with PBI perhaps costing a bit less.â&#x20AC;? While not all patients may be candidates for this type of treatment, the Geisinger staff agrees it represents a great step forward toward continuing the evolution of breast cancer treatment.

from liver failure possibly caused by the bone marrow transplant she had received to combat breast cancer. Using their own experiences, Swank and Wojnar are trying to raise awareness of breast cancer. Knowing early detection is key, Wojnar has been getting mammograms for 6 years due to her gynecologist’s recommendation. “Most health insurance companies will not cover mammograms under the age of 40, unless a family history of breast cancer is established,” she said. Swank, with no family history of breast cancer, discovered a lump in her left breast while showering. She immediately made a doctor’s appointment. The doctor found a tumor, six centimeters in diameter in her left breast. “The doctor said it was not good,” she said. “On a scale

from 1 to 10, of it being cancer, it was high. She told her husband, Randy. Then the couple broke the news to their two sons, Garrett, 7, and Jason, 4. Swank recalled Randy taking Garrett out to the garage to tell him mommy has cancer. “I can still hear him screaming, No, no, no,” she said. Jason did not fully grasp the meaning of what was happening, Swank said. Later, she asked him what his memory was when the word cancer came into their house. “His answer was, ‘do you re-

member when we went to the doctor’s office and you were crying,’” Swank said. “I thought it was over conversations we had with him. I completely forgot he came with me because I did not have a babysitter.” The next big step was deciding whether or not to tell her family and friends. “I had to decide if this is

something to keep inside and fight this cancer alone,” Swank said. Being open about it was her choice. Family and friends offered support in anyway possible, from taking care of the boys, to helping with chores and accompanying her to treatments. Wojnar voluntarily took on

the role of a communication coordinator. She developed a page on carepages.com, keeping everyone informed on treatments and Swank’s progress. “Anything I could do to reduce the stress on her, I did,” Wojnar said. Randy juggled caring for the boys, his wife and taking care of meals. “If anything I fell more in love with him during this,” Swank said. “I say this with tears in my eyes. He never missed one appointment.” The severity of the cancer was determined after a nine-hour surgery where both breasts were removed and reconstructed with muscle tissue from Swank’s abdomen. It was breast cancer Stage II

B. The cancer did not spread to the lymph nodes in the breast. In the following months, she had 16 rounds of chemotherapy, and 25 radiation treatments. The year passed, earmarked by different anniversaries, Swank said. “The day I was diagnosed, the day of my surgery, the day I ended chemo, the day I ended radiation,” she said. Friends since eighth grade, Wojnar watched her friend push through the recovery process and the emotional turmoil it caused. “Some people can sit back and hurt and not do anything, “Wojnar said. “Lael hurt, but you have to deal with it. It is what it is -there is no changing it, you have to deal with it.”

Singles needing volunteer help for rides have many options to choose Dear Abby: I read the letter from “On My Own in Bloomington, Ind.” (Aug. 5), who needed a ride to her colonoscopy appointment but didn’t have transportation. Your suggestions were admirable, but there is another service you should be aware of. Many states have a 2-1-1 Information and Referral Service, often sponsored by the local United Way. It has trained information and referral specialists available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to listen to individuals’ needs or questions, help callers make informed decisions, and link them to a variety of community resources that fit their needs.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Those needs could be anything from a volunteer driver for a medical appointment to help caring for an aging relative, consumer help, child-care services, finding a local food shelf, domestic abuse shelter or chemical dependency treatment. When you don’t know whom to call, call 2-1-1. It is available to help you find answers confidentially. — Lynetta in Duluth, Minn. Dear Lynetta: My readers never cease to amaze me. You always come through with all kinds of suggestions for any situation, as you did again.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Thanks to all of you. I’m sure the information will be appreciated. My newspaper readers’ comments: Dear Abby: I have a few suggestions for “On My Own.” She should contact a social worker at the hospital where her doctor works. As you pointed out, many people have this problem, and I bet the social worker will have some solutions. Second, there is probably a nursing school nearby. She should contact the dean of students to find out whether a nursing student would be available and would like to earn some extra money in this useful way. — Jacqueline, R.N., New York

jobs home-health care aides are hired and trained for. My mother has worked for an agency and has accompanied many clients — seniors and younger people — on doctor and hospital visits. Many businesses that advertise “senior care” also provide services to non-seniors with disabilities, temporary health issues, and people who just need a “friend” for a few hours. There are also volunteer organizations that provide similar services, although some may not have training or appropriate insurance or be bonded by the organization, as many home-health care businesses do. — Alexandra in Pittsburgh

Dear Abby: This is one of the many

offer this service for medical appointments and procedures. The drivers are covered by insurance and are trained on customer service techniques. My husband has taken many people for this procedure. He typically leaves his number with the medical staff, who call him when the patient is ready to be picked up. Rarely do patients need someone at home with them afterward as long as they stay quiet. — Happy to Help in Irvine, Calif. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re still not sure whether to attend an upcoming event. Sure, your friends will be there — and so will your “frenemies.” You may be worried about how to bridge the divide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Once you give someone a special place in your heart, you’re not likely to get the space back. It will be like a tenant who never leaves — and maybe he or she is so solid that you don’t ever want that tenant to go. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is always something inconvenient about morality. Yet, if you really believe in the rightness or wrongness of an action, there will certainly be consequences for following through with it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it comes down to presenting ideas, you’ll have the winning delivery. Whether it’s about where to go for lunch or how to invest money, your way of stating things will heavily influence others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a day to follow your own interests. Talk to people who stir your curiosity, and take pictures of the things you find beautiful. As you honor your preferences and inclinations, everything falls in line. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be excited to go further into an area of study. You sense that what you know already is just the tip of the iceberg. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pretty things you want also happen to be expensive. Can you address practical matters such as your budget and still uphold

your aesthetic ideals? If anyone can, it’s you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Staying balanced requires flexibility. Your level of grace depends on just how quickly you can make adjustments. It takes the right combination of strength and fluidity to dance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are times when you feel like you’re just pretending to be yourself. Usually, this state reflects a change in your identity that you haven’t quite caught up with yet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A situation is causing you more worry than you had anticipated. It’s nobody’s fault that you feel the way you do. You are the only one who can move yourself into a new emotional tone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like so many things about your life these days. One of the things you like most is that you recognize your own power to change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your extremely high expectations sometimes benefit you, though these expectations may cause you and others more stress than they’re worth. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). Your active pursuit of a new goal will release an inner well of strength in you. Family dynamics improve in November. You’ll pick up a fun new habit or interest in December. It is so impressive the way you remain focused through conflict in January, and you will be promoted to a position of leadership. Sagittarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 39 and 18.
