WILKES-BARRE – Criticizing the city charter as antiquated and tailored over the years to benefit elected officials over citizens, city council candidate Linda Urban on Thursday announced the organization of a WilkesBarre Charter Study Group. Urban said in a press release the charter was Urban purposely designed to be vague and “to confuse citizens.” She wants to form a group of about 20 city residents representing the five city districts who would be willing to examine the charter and make recommendations that could be placed on a future ballot for a referendum vote.

WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth man was arraigned Wednesday on charges stemming from an incident in which police say he robbed and pistol whipped another man over the weekend. Kyrie Wiggins, 18, of East Main Street, was arraigned on charges of robbery, burglary, theft, criminal conspiracy, terroristic threats and criminal trespassing by District Judge Andrew Barilla, Jr. Police said Wiggins held a gun to the head of Chris Emmett after striking him on Oct. 9 and then took a rifle and a pack of Newport 100 cigarettes.

WASHINGTON — Congress approved free trade agreements Wednesday with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, ending a four-year drought in the forming of new trade partnerships and giving the White House and Capitol Hill the opportunity to show they can work together to stimulate the economy and put people back to work. In rapid succession, the House and Senate voted on the three trade pacts, which the administration says could boost exports by $13 billion and support tens of thousands of American jobs. None of the votes were close, despite opposition from labor groups and other critics of free trade agreements who say they result in job losses and ignore labor rights problems in the partner countries. GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville and GOP Reps. Lou Barletta of Hazleton and Tom Marino of Lycoming Township were among the Republicans supporting all three trade pacts, while Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton voted against all three treaties. Barletta said in a statement that, “We not only have to ‘Buy American,’ but we also have to ‘Sell American.’ These agreements give American goods equal access to three growing markets, where consumers want to buy American products.” But Casey said that, “it’s my job

as a United States Senator from Pennsylvania to fight for Pennsylvania jobs. And for too long the needs, concerns and jobs of Pennsylvania workers have been last on the list when it comes to trade agreements. The fact is that past trade agreements have failed Pennsylvania and our workers.” “We don’t do much around here that’s bipartisan these days,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who was U.S. Trade Representative during the George W. Bush administration. “This is an example of where we can come together as Republicans and Democrats realizing that with 14 million Americans out of work, we need to do things to move our economy forward.” President Barack Obama said passage of the agreements was “a major win for American workers and businesses.” “Tonight’s vote, with bipartisan support, will significantly boost exports that bear the proud label ‘Made in America,’ support tens of thousands of good-paying American jobs and protect labor

rights, the environment and intellectual property. ... I look forward to signing these agreements.” The agreements would lower or eliminate tariffs that American exporters face in the three countries. They also take steps to better protect intellectual property and improve access for American investors in those countries. The last free trade agreement completed was with Peru in 2007. The House also passed and sent to Obama for his signature a bill to extend aid to workers displaced by foreign competition. Years in the making, the votes come just a day after Senate Republicans were unified in rejecting Obama’s $447 billion jobs creation initiative The votes were 278-151 for South Korea, 300-129 for Panama and 262-167 for Colombia. The Senate votes were 83-15 for Korea, 77-22 for Panama and 66-33 for Colombia. Times Leader Washington correspondent Jonathan Riskind contributed to this story.

retired trust officer and investment professional, and former business owner, said he was inspired to run when he heard a presentation about the charter before it passed. “This is my first step into the world of politics,” he said. “I like to think that my business experience will be an asset as a county council member, and I really do think I could make a difference.” • Salvatore Licata, 60, Pittston, a former Pittston Area teacher and head football coach, said he has volunteered on many public and private authorities, boards and commissions. “As a member of these organizations, I have always been a strong advocate for the people these boards represent, and if elected, I pledge to be an advocate for all the citizens of Luzerne County.” • Rick Williams, 63, Kingston, an architect, said he is running as an independent because party politics should not be a factor in county-level decisions involving roads, bridges, deeds, parks and other services. “I have no ax to grind. I have no hunger for power. I serve no party. I just want to get the new county government off to a good start,” he said. • Eugene Kelleher, 67, Dallas Township, a retired teacher, said he is an independent, fiscal person who won’t be influenced by politics and wants to focus on re-

ducing county debt. “We need an electorate who will commit to vote for people who are not politicians, but those who are willing to be servants, do their job and not worry about being reelected,” he said. • Michael Lacey, 52, Franklin Township, owner of a pharmacy in Freeland for 17 years, said he was inspired to get involved because corruption is “out of control” locally and nationally, with officials ignoring oaths to serve and protect. “What I see is backwards. They expect to be served, and we need protection against them,” he said. • Jane Walsh-Waitkus, 61, Dorrance Township, an English and American studies professor at Penn State Hazleton, said she has past experience operating a small business and as a Laflin Borough Council member. “I think that’s going to serve me very well if I’m lucky enough to be elected to county council,” she said. • Rick Morelli, 39, Sugarloaf Township, a strategic customer specialist for a biopharmaceutical company, said he has experience in finance and is the only candidate who served on committees to both draft the charter and help with the home rule transition. “I’ve been an independent thinker,” he said. “If you want my vote you have to earn it with facts

and figures.” • Tim McGinley, 64, Kingston, director of administration for the Commission on Economic Opportunity, said he wants to make sure taxpayers understand what’s happening in their government. “I’d be honest and have integrity. Those are two characteristics that I’ve had in my lifetime,” he said. • Kathleen M. Dobash, 51, Hazleton, a part-time therapeutic staff support worker and artist, said she is diligent researching county government and won’t stop until she gets answers to her questions. “I will continue to pursue the truth and not be afraid to challenge others who evade direct questions in regard to budget and personnel,” she said. • Harry Haas, 35, WilkesBarre, a history teacher at Dallas Middle School, said he wants to find the most qualified manager and reduce county debt. “I’ve been to a lot of places around the world, and Luzerne County is the best, but the politics are terrible,” he said. • James Bobeck, 31, Kingston, a member of the county’s Home Rule Transition Committee and attorney, said he wanted to give up his time to help give the new government a strong start. “There will be setbacks initially. There will be mistakes, but I promise you this: We will overcome any of those.”

Anger over flood runs deep in Duryea Councilmembers reluctant to answer some residents’ questions because of a threatened lawsuit. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

DURYEA – The flood waters have long since receded, but the anger level of some residents was still high Wednesday night as they besieged council about the borough’s plan to protect them. At a work session and council meeting, they demanded answers on when the partial levee would be completed and what steps the borough was taking to deal with future flooding.

Some of the questions went unanswered because of the threat of a lawsuit by residents against several council members and Mayor Keith Moss. “I’m not saying anything because of litigation,” said Moss when asked about a dirt wall that was put in place to protect properties, but instead caused flood waters to damage others. PaulaWardsaidsherecalledMosstelling her that some properties have to be sacrificed in order to save others. “It wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t build that wall,” said Ward. “It would have happened no matter what,” said Moss. “We only did what we had to do.” Borough Solicitor Donald Frederick-

son said he has heard rumors of the suit. “At this point it’s just pure speculation,” said Frederickson. Several residents asked about the 5,000 sandbags the borough was to have ready as part of its action plan in case of flooding. Council member Frank Groblewski said approximately 300 sandbags have been filled and stored. Borough employees fill them in addition to doing their other work. “It’s not that we’re not trying,” said Groblewski. Council President Audrey Marcinko told the more than 75 people that packed the council meeting room, that the state Department of Environmental Protec-

tionwouldbemeetingwithboroughofficials in a few weeks about the levee along the Lackawanna River. In 2004 the borough was told the levee would be completed, she said. Water from the Susquehanna River backed up into the Lackawanna River causing flooding in parts of the borough on Sept. 8 and 9. Since then the borough has spent $351,674 on cleanup costs, said Lois Morreale, borough manager. None of them has been paid. Morreale said there is a meeting tonight at the Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke to learn how municipalities affected by the flooding can apply for government aid.

VIEWS FROM ABROAD AT WILKES

Controller says ex-clerk of courts’ conviction would not be factor in decision to stop deal for cleaner. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials may have a technical reason to cancel at least part of a cleaning product contract with former county Clerk of Courts Robert Reilly’s company, and it has nothing to do with his felony conviction, county Controller Walter Griffith said Wednesday. One of the bids awarded to Reilly’s company, Tri-State Chemical, was for floor cleaner, but the company is not providing the exact product required in the county’s bid specifications, Griffith said. The county sought bids for a product called H2Orange2, inReilly dicating that no substitutes were allowed. Reilly, who was convicted of lying to FBI agents who questioned him about money he received from a county contractor, said Wednesday he is providing a product that has a similar name as H2Orange2 and the same chemical composition at a lower price. He said he supplied samples of the product to the county twice as required. After the bid was accepted, the county told him it was rejecting his bid because his product wouldn’t fit into the county’s existing dispensers, which was also required by bid specifications. However, county bid documents also indicate that bidders must furnish new dispensers at their own expense if their product doesn’t fit county dispensers, and Reilly said he will supply new ones. He said he has personally delivered his bids, related documents and samples and can’t understand why county workers are claiming they had no idea he was involved in the company. “I did everything perfectly. I have every right to bid,” Reilly said. The county’s bid specification is also flawed for several reasons, Griffith said. The county stopped using H2Orange2 in 2010 after another vendor – Philip Rosenau Co. Inc. – started supplying a product called Q 256 Cleaner and obtained the contract, Griffith said. Philip Rosenau installed dispensers that are designed to hold Q 256 – not other products, Griffith said. Seven companies that provided bids for other janitorial supplies did not bid on the floor cleaner, likely because they aren’t H2Orange2 distributors and heeded the language that no substitutes were allowed, Griffith said. He said he contacted one of the seven companies, and the representative said the company would have provided a bid if other products could be accepted. County bid specifications for some other janitorial supplies identify a product but indicate that bids for other products of “equal or greater” value will be accepted – though that option was not provided for the floor cleaner. Independent Chemical Corp. submitted a bid for H2Orange2 at $64 a case for a total $768, he said. Philip Rosenau submitted a bid to supply Q 256 at $51.23 a case, for a total $614.76, Griffith said. Tri-State’s $50 a case for a total $600 was accepted as the low bid. County officials were reviewing TriState’s contract and the county bid specifications Wednesday and did not report what, if any, action will be taken.

Simonson focus of extra security By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – As members of the Sheriff’s Department stood watch with rifles at ready and assisted by a K9 officer, Michael Simonson was led into the Lackawanna County Courthouse on Wednesday wearing handcuffs and shackles. An admitted murderer who escaped prison on Sept. 28, he appeared for a hearing on charges stemming from the beating of inmate Nicholas Pinto on Aug. 8, 2010, at the prison in Scranton. Simonson, formerly of Plains Township, is serving a life sentence for the 2009 killing of Donald Skiff of Plymouth, was being held in Lackawanna County at the request of Luzerne County officials. In Lackawanna County, it’s alleged Simonson stomped on Pinto’s head nearly 15 times, causing severe brain damage and leaving Pinto comatose. Simonson withdrew a previous guilty plea in the case, which led to Wednesday’s hearing.

In testimony before Judge Vito Geroulo, two former Lackawanna County inmates testified that they witnessed Simonson’s attack on Pinto and demonstrated the force of the attack. James Oaks, a former block mate with Simonson in the prison’s restricted housing unit, said Simonson made numerous threats toward Pinto. “When I see you, I’m going to (expletive) you over,” Oaks recalled Simonson saying. The evening before the beating, Simonson allegedly expressed his intent to harm Pinto. “I talked to him that night. He said he was going to crush Pinto,” Oaks said. As Pinto returned from the recreation yard, Simonson’s cell was uncharacteristically left open. Simonson, an administrative custody inmate, and Pinto, a protective custody inmate, would otherwise never have crossed paths. Oaks said Simonson punched Pinto, knocking him out. As the attack contin-

FIRED GUARDS

On Wednesday, Lackawanna County officials released the names of the four prison guards fired after the escape of admitted murderer Michael Simonson on Sept. 28. According to information released by Communications Director Lynne Shedlock, Sgt. Brian Cwalinski and corrections officers Richard Pitoniak, Kevin Dolphin and Michael Zemantauski were sent termination letters on Tuesday. Their firing was announced Oct. 7 by Warden Robert McMillan.

ued, Pinto’s body slumped over, and Simonson “started stomping him,” he said. Simonson then returned to his cell and gave items that included a radio, coffee and colored pencils to Oaks for safe keeping. Charges in the attempted homicide case were forwarded to court along with assault charges stemming from an alleged Dec. 23 attack on another inmate.

Starting Monday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin drawing down the pool of the Francis E. Walter Dam to its winter level of 1,300 feet above sea level. The drawdown follows the completion of the recreation season, which included 24 planned whitewater release events and several fishery enhancement releases. The corps is planning a public meeting to gather feedback on the 2011 recreation season at a date to be announced. HARRISBURG

Federal court reinstates deputy’s lawsuit in privacy case By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA – A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit filed by a female Luzerne County deputy sheriff who alleged her right to privacy was violated by a fellow employee who videotaped her taking a decontamination shower. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday said U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo erred when he dismissed the case, because a dispute remains regarding the facts surrounding the videotaping of the woman, who has been identified in court documents only as Jane Doe. The woman, who is represented by attorney Cynthia Pollick of Pittston, filed suit in 2008 against a coworker, Ryan Foy, former Sheriff Barry Stankus and the county in connection with an

incident that occurred on Sept. 27, 2008. The suit alleged Foy violated her right to privacy when, at Stankus’ direction, he videotaped her Stankus while she took a decontamination shower to rid herself of fleas that infested her body after she served a warrant on a home. The county maintained the video was shot as an instructional tape for decontamination showers. The woman later learned that Foy had uploaded a copy of the video to his computer in the Sheriff’s Department and showed it to other employees. Caputo dismissed the case in its entirety last year. In his decision, the judge conceded the video was “ill con-

ceived,” but said he did not believe the recording rose to the level of degradation and humiliation required to sustain a federal claim of invasion of privacy, which requires “shocking degradation or egregious humiliation.” In overturning the ruling, the Third Circuit Court concluded the woman had a reasonable expectation of privacy while in the shower. Whether the degree of the invasion of her privacy meets the standard for a federal claim depends on which parts of her body were exposed. That issue remains in dispute and should be decided by a jury, the court said. The court did uphold Caputo’s ruling that dismissed two other counts in the case. The decision means the case will return to federal court for further proceedings.

Gas well protest planned

Riding the coattails of the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City and elsewhere, a group opposed to natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale is planning an Occupy WELL Street protest 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday near a Williams Production Appalachia LLC natural gas well off state Route 487 in Sugarloaf Township. According to the event’s Facebook page, organizers of the protest are opposed to the process of hydraulic fracturing used to stimulate gas well production and are concerned that Williams is not providing the community enough information about the exploratory well’s production. The well is located about five miles west of the site where Encana Oil & Gas drilled an exploratory gas well in Fairmount Township in Luzerne County in 2010.

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At least a half-dozen poultry plants shut down or scaled back operations Wednesday and many other businesses closed as Hispanics in Alabama skipped work to protest the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law. The work stoppage was aimed at demonstrating the economic contribution of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hispanic immigrants. It was unclear exactly how widespread the protests were, but a poultry company spokesman said officials were reporting unusually high absences at plants in northeast Alabama, where much of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken industry is based. In the northeast Alabama town of Albertville, numerous Hispanic-owned businesses along Main Street had the lights off and signs that said they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be open. Mexican restaurants, a bank that caters to Hispanics, small grocery stores and supermarkets were all shuttered. Jose Contreras owns a restaurant and store on Main Street. He said he was losing about

Eight die in shooting at busy hair salon

A gunman opened fire Wednesday in a busy hair salon, killing eight people and critically wounding another while leaving bodies scattered in the business in a normally sedate beach community. The gunman drove away from Salon Meritage in a truck after opening fire. A suspect was stopped by officers a half-mile away and surrendered without incident while saying he had multiple weapons with him, police Sgt. Steve Bowles said. His name and those of the victims were not immediately released. Friends of the salon owner said the gunman was the exhusband of a stylist who worked there.

Man accused of spying on Syrian dissidents

The United States accused Syrian President Bashar Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government of using an American citizen to spy on anti-Syrian protesters in the U.S., an accusation that further strains relations between Washington and Damascus, which has unleashed a brutal crackdown on dissidents that has killed thousands. Mohamad Anas Haitham Soueid, 47, of Leesburg, a Syrian-born, naturalized U.S. citizen, is accused of sending audio and video recordings of American protesters to Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligence agency and traveling to Syria to meet with Assad. The Syrian embassy issued a statement denying both claims.

Prostate screening at issue

Study by task force finds that routine PSA testing does more harm than good. By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

Donald Weaver was a healthy 74-year-old Kansas farmer until doctors went looking for prostate cancer. A PSA blood test led to a biopsy and surgery, then a heart attack, organ failure and a coma. His grief-stricken wife took him off life support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He died of unnecessary preventive medicine,â&#x20AC;? said his nephew, Dr. Jay Siwek, vice Once a PSA chairman of test suggests family medicine at George- a problem, town Universi- many men ty. canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live with Since Friday, the worry when a task force of inde- they might pendent scien- have cancer. tists said routine PSA testing does more harm than good, urologists who make a living treating prostate cancer have rushed to defend the test, as have patients who believe it saved their lives. Less visible are men who have been harmed by testing, as Weaver was. The harm is not so much from the test itself but from everything it triggers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; biopsies that usually are false alarms, and treatments that leave many men incontinent or impotent for cancers that in most cases were not a threat. Once a PSA test suggests a problem, many men canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live with the worry that they might have cancer. And once cancer is found, most men feel they have to treat it, usually at the urging of their urologist.

employment. The law allows police to detain people indefinitely if they are suspected of being in the country illegally and requires schools to check the status of new students when they enroll. Since a federal judge upheld much of the law two weeks ago, many frightened Hispanics have hid in their homes or fled Alabama. Schools have reported high absentee rates among Hispanic students, and officials said even more students were absent Wednesday, apparently

because of the protest. At Crossville Elementary School in DeKalb County, Principal Ed Burke said about 160 of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 600 students werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We normally would have about 20 or 30 out,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Obama administration is among the critics of the new law and asked a federal appeals court Wednesday to at least temporarily block enforcement, arguing in court documents the statute oversteps the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear when the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will rule on the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a preliminary injunction. The protests were being promoted partly through Facebook and other social media, as well as a Spanish-language radio station in Birmingham. Supporters say they want to show the economic impact of Hispanic people in Alabama and demonstrate solidarity in opposition to the law. There are an estimated 185,000 Hispanics in Alabama. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 70 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hispanic residents are Mexican.

Federal prosecutors said the Botsvynyuks forced their crew to work long hours cleaning stores and offices for little or no pay. A jury also found that Omelyan Botsvynyuk sexually assaulted two women and used violence to intimidate workers. He faces 20 years to life in prison. His younger brother, Stepan, was convicted in the racketeering enterprise but acquitted of extortion. He faces up to 20 years in prison. Defense lawyers had argued that the workers testified only to get special T-visas, set aside for trafficking victims.

located off Route 11 on state game lands. The supervisors, acting on the advice of their planning/zoning committee, approved the project, 3-0. Company officials said the coal will be excavated and transported by truck to a cogeneration plant in McAdoo, Schuylkill County. All that remains, according to attorney Dan Karpowich, counsel for Susquehanna Hauling, is for DEP to approve a permit. The residents complained about the condition of Butler Street, over which 21-ton loads will be hauled. Supervisor Chairman Robert Pearse said PennDOT will be asked to improve the road, known as state Route 404. Surface water runoff was another issue of concern. The supervisors also hired Vicki Moyer as the new township manager. She has been serving as secretary/treasurer of Millville borough and resides in Benton. She will be paid $37,500 per year.

Pashinski backs shared services deal ASHLEY – State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski addressed area residents at the Tuesday night borough council meeting, supporting an intergovernmental agreement for shared services among Warrior Run, Sugar Notch and Ashley boroughs. Police protection was emphasized during a heated discussion, with local residents indicating that relying on the state police for protection was no longer viable. Council discussed the issue in regard to possible shared police and zoning officials and related equipment. Officials from Sugar Notch and Warrior Run who were present at the meeting indicated their willingness to participate in the assessment of the feasibility of implementing a shared services model. Council also announced a special meeting on Nov. 3, at which officials from the state DEP will discuss plans to develop an underground concrete culvert designed to divert flood water from borough creeks away from residential properties. The meeting is open to the public. In other business, Solicitor Bill Vinsko said the borough had settled federal litigation with Pennsylvania Care LLC in the amount of $140,000. Vinsko said this was reasonable when compared to the $2 million originally claimed in the suit. Pennsylvania Care LLC filed suit last year claiming a cease and desist order directing the center to close had improperly been issued. Borough officials said the clinic did not obtain all necessary approvals or meet zoning requirements. John Harrison, attorney for Pennsylvania Care, argued the clinic had met all requirements, and the borough’s action was based solely on prejudice against patients who take methadone. The borough ultimately gave zoning approval to the clinic, which continues to operate. The suit continued on, however, as Pennsylvania Care was seeking monetary damages for lost business.

GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burns eyes U.S. Senate Western Pa. businessman joins large field looking to take spot from Sen. Casey. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

A Western Pennsylvania businessman who twice failed to earn a U.S. House seat last year announced Wednesday that he will seek the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Bob Casey. Tim Burns, of Eighty-Four, Washington County, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eager to take on Casey, D-Scranton, in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senatorial election and put the spotlight on job creation. But before that could happen, he would have to get through what is becoming a very crowded field of Republicans try-

ing to earn their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination. Burns joins Laureen Cummings, of Old Forge, who owns Lorimar Burns Home Care; Marc Scaringi, a Harrisburg-area lawyer and former aide to Rick Santorum; Tom Smith, a former coal company owner from Armstrong County; David Christian, a Bucks County business owner and veteran; John Kensinger, a Bedford County pharmacist; and John Vernon, a retired Army colonel from Mansfield, Tioga County. Chester County businessman Steve Welch has also given indications he is considering a run.

Like other Republicans who have announced, Burns linked Casey to President Barack Obama. He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the country faces significant challenges. We have an opportunity in this next election to begin to take steps to turn things around.â&#x20AC;? He said the Obama administration has failed and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sen. Casey has been there with them every step of the way.â&#x20AC;? He played up his outsider image and his business-based background. In 1992, Burns started a pharmacy software company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TechRx -- in his own basement using his own savings. The business was acquired by a public company in 2003 and since the sale, Burns has invested in and consulted for other businesses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a politician. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a businessman. I want to put my experience of balancing budTo see an extended gets, making payversion of roll and creating this story, jobs to work for visit the people of www.times Pennsylvania,â&#x20AC;? he leader.com said. Burns, 43, has two sons and is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 2010, after U.S. Rep. John Murthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, he was tabbed as the GOP choice to run for Murthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat in a special election. He lost to Democratic candidate Mark Critz. The two faced off once more in the general election and Critz defeated Burns again.

Jury chosen, testimony begins in trial of man accused in brutal beating Eric Hogan is on trial in the November assault on Donald Skiff inside Skiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Luzerne County jury was chosen Wednesday to hear the case of a Wilkes-Barre man charged with brutally assaulting a Plymouth man in November. A jury of six men and six women, as well as two alternates, was selected to hear the case of Eric R. Hogan, 48, of Hill Street, accused of assaulting Donald Charles Skiff inside his Martz Manor home. Testimony began Wednesday afternoon and will continue this morning. Assistant District Attorney Dick Hughes, who is prosecuting the case with fellow ADA Maureen Collins, said in

his opening statement Wednesday the facts of Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case are â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely disturbingâ&#x20AC;? in that Hogan committed a random, violent act with no motive. Police say Hogan assaulted Skiff, causing severe head injuries. Shortly after the attack, Skiff was listed in unstable condition and his heart had stopped twice. Hogan is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, burglary, criminal conspiracy and reckless endangerment. Hughes said Skiff called 911 after Hogan pushed his way into Skiff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door, alleging four black males were chasing him and that he had been shot at. Skiff told Hogan to leave, Hughes said, but Hogan made his way back into the home. Within seconds, Hughes said, Hogan unleashed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;viciousâ&#x20AC;? attack on Skiff, beating him â&#x20AC;&#x153;savagely.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why is the person I tried

Assistant District Attorney Dick Hughes, who is prosecuting the case with fellow ADA Maureen Collins, said in his opening statement Wednesday the facts of Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case are â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely disturbingâ&#x20AC;? in that Hogan committed a random, violent act with no motive. to help doing this to me,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said Skiff asked himself during the beating. Hughes said jurors would hear evidence that blood found on Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing was Skiff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and that Skiff will suffer â&#x20AC;&#x153;long-lasting effectsâ&#x20AC;? from the beating. Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Thomas Cometa, said in his opening statement that his client was being chased by four men after being relocated to a VISION homeless shelter in Plymouth. Shots were fired, Cometa said, with one grazing Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leg, leading Ho-

gan to try to find refuge. Hogan went to the home of Skiff, and told him about the chase. Shortly after Hogan arrived at Skiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, one of the males chasing him entered the home, and assaulted Hogan and Skiff. Skiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Donald T. Skiff, was found beaten to death in June 2009 in a secluded area off Suscon Road in Jenkins Township. Michael Simonson, 34, and Elvis Riccardi, 33, were charged with Donald T. Skiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and are both serving life sentences in state prison.

Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term might impact Selenski trial

Timing an issue for Van Jura, who will preside over case set to start Nov. 14. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hugo Selenski, accused of double murder, is prepared to begin his trial with jury selection on Nov. 14. And, the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office agreed Wednesday. The question is whether Judge Joseph Van Juraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term will expire at the end of the year before the case is finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My commission expires on Jan. 2 (2012),â&#x20AC;? Van Jura said at a pre-trial hearing held Wednesday for Selenski, who also raised doubts as to whether the trial could be completed by Dec. 30. Selenski, 38, of Kingston Township, is charged in the deaths of Tammy Fassett and Michael Kerkowski, both 37, in May2002.Theirbodieswerediscovered in a shallow grave outside Selenskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in June 2003. If convicted of first-degree murder, Selenski could face the death penalty. He is representing himself at the trial, with assistance by stand-by counsel. Selenskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Nov. 14, with testimony beginning Nov. 29. District Attorney Jackie MustoCarroll,DeputyDistrictAttorney David Pedri and assistant districtattorneysJarrettFerentino and Michael Melnick said their side of the case could take

BEL L ES

up to three weeks. Selenski said he expects to present about three days worth of testiSelenski mony. The case would then go to a jury to begin deliberations. If convicted of first-degree murder, a penalty phase would begin in which jurors would decide if Selenski should face the death penalty. That portion of the trial could take up to another week. Van Jura said he has called the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts for guidance on what to do, after both sides agreed they can begin on the scheduled date. Van Jura said he has not yet gotten a response from the office and he scheduled another hearing for Oct. 21to update the caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status. Van Jura was appointed to the LuzerneCountybenchin2010to fill the unexpired term of former Judge Michael Toole, who was charged in the corruption probe. Musto Carroll expressed concerns of the case taking a long time, particularly jury selection, because of media coverage and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Selenski also said jury selection might take longer than expected because he, acting as his own attorney, will be asking jurors questions, and some may have a hard time â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking me in the eye and saying I can vote for death.â&#x20AC;?

QUOTE OF THE DAY “The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right?” Hillary Rodham Clinton The U.S. secretary of state reflected on the Obama administration’s accusation that Iranian government agents had plotted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in the United States. The United States plans to “enlist more countries” in applying pressure on Iran, she said.

OTHER OPINION: CHINA TARIFFS

It’s a bad time for a trade war

HIS WEEK, Congress probably will give some observers whiplash. It is expected to pass long-delayed free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia that will provide billions of dollars in new markets for American products and spur job creation at home. The bad news is that the Senate also is expected to approve an ill-conceived measure that would open the door to massive tariffs on Chinese goods, ostensibly to punish that country for making its exports cheap by artificially keeping its currency low. This move is particularly illtimed. With a Greek default

and a possible European bank meltdown looming – and Americans still worried about the risk of another dip into recession – the Senate is playing with fire. Luckily, the Chinabashing bill probably will die in the House. Given our own interest rate policy, you could make a good case that Washington itself has been a currency manipulator. Also, two years ago, the Obama administration imposed tariffs on Chinese tires. Beijing replied with a stiff tariff on American poultry. Passing a misguided tariff bill would only replicate, on a massive scale, this sort of lose-lose tradeoff. The Kansas City Star

n his 7½ years as mayor, Tom Leighton turned around the city of Wilkes-Barre from an unattractive municipality barely “limping along,” to a more attractive, more vibrant community embracing technology and the future. Sure, the economy of our region, state and nation is challenging, and from all reports will remain so for awhile. But I’m once again proud to say I’m from WilkesBarre, thanks to the efforts of Mayor Leighton. Did the mayor accomplish all of the progress that’s been achieved by himself? Certainly not, and I’m sure he’ll be the first to tell you that. What it has taken are long hours of hard work on his part, reaching out and working with other community leaders who have leveraged and offered their considerable resources and commitment to improve the community we all love. He’s fostered relationships with every government agency and leader to help Wilkes-Barre receive as much funding as possible to secure a better future. Finally, I’d like to commend Mayor Leighton for the leadership he’s shown each time the city has been faced with a natural disaster. In particular, the most recent flooding the city experienced demonstrated once again what this man is made of. His leadership and timeless work on behalf of the community was exemplary. So, too, was the work of the city administration and city employees, including the Department of Public Works employees, police and firefighters. I say all of this as a lifelong resident and a property owner who cares about her community, appreciating all that has been accomplished. Thank you, Mayor Leighton, city council and all those people who have contributed to the progress of the city. Bridget Ryan Wilkes-Barre

Nanticoke writer urges approval of home rule

ov. 8 is a very important date for Nanticoke’s voters. We will decide if we wish to approve the home rule charter for governing Nanticoke. Approval of this charter will help to stabilize our tax base, keeping property taxes reasonable. Disapproval will result in a loss of $1.2 million in revenue when the state removes Nanticoke from Act 47’s “distressed city status.” The Nanticoke budget is $4.2 million a year; of this amount, nearly $3 million goes for police and fire protection. The loss of $1.2 million of revenue would

require large property tax increases and possibly dangerous reductions in our police and fire departments. I urge voters to take advantage of this important opportunity to keep our city revenue stable. Vote “Yes” for the home rule charter proposal.

Writer supports bill affecting abortion centers

hen considering passage of state Senate Bill 732, the “abortion center regulation bill,” we would do well to remember Karnamaya Mongar. This 41-year-old refugee from Nepal lost her life at the Women’s Medical Society in West Philadelphia. In honor of her and all the other women across Pennsylvania who have been hurt in abortion facilities, we must pass this common-sense bill. The fact that the abortion industry is lobbying against it suggests that the abortion lobby is more interested in profit than in women’s health.

A vote for new mayor would help improve city

recently had to make a trip from the East End section of Wilkes-Barre to Hanover Township. This required that I travel through several Wilkes-Barre neighborhoods. I couldn’t help but notice the general rundown look of these areas: broken sidewalks, uneven curbs, sinking and bumpy streets, and traffic lines that looked as if they haven’t been painted in years. I contrast this to my stay in Auburn, N.Y., where I went on vacation. This is a city dominated by well-maintained historical buildings that are mixed with newer architecture. The streets were clean and well-kept. Even the sidewalks were beautiful: a mix of old flagstone walks with the newer-laid concrete walks. The city reminded me of Wilkes-Barre as it was at one time. For a good part of my stay, I wondered why Wilkes-Barre doesn’t look like this. Mayor Tom Leighton, it must be said, did a number of positive things for the city. The preservation of the old buildings around the Movies 14 complex is absolutely beautiful and should be imitated in other areas around town. The new intermodel center is a plus. A few showpieces, however, cannot make up for fewer city services and neglected neighborhood infrastructure. It’s time for the two alternate candidates in the Wilkes-Barre mayoral race to become more vocal about how they will change the city. Mayor Leighton had eight years to make his imprint on the city; now it’s time for change. If you like your city as it has been for the past eight years and don’t think any change is necessary, then you know how to vote.

White Cane Safety Day being celebrated today

hite Cane Safety Day is celebrated throughout the United States on Oct. 15. This day is reserved to recognize the immeasurable achievements of Americans who are blind or visually impaired, and serves as a reminder that the white cane is a symbol of independence, freedom and dignity – in addition to being a practical mobility tool. White Cane Safety Day provides an opportunity to review the state’s driver and pedestrian laws. The Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code states: “The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any totally or partially blind pedestrian carrying a clearly visible white cane or accompanied by a guide dog and shall take such precautions as may be necessary to avoid injuring or endangering the pedestrian.” Among many services, the state Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services provides orientation and mobility instruction by a trained professional in the use of the white cane and intersection negotiation. The bureau provides rehabilitation services to Pennsylvanians of all ages experiencing vision loss. Our mission is to assist those who are blind or visually impaired to maintain independent lives in their homes, communities and at work. Today we will be at Public Square in Wilkes-Barre to commemorate White Cane Day along with our community partners: the Greater Wilkes-Barre Association for the Blind and the Luzerne County Council of the Blind. If you would like to learn more about our services, stop by or call.

CHARTER Continued from Page 1A

Urban said the charter contains “non-enforceable clauses,” entries written in tiny print, hidden salary and benefit increases for city officials and “illogical” information. She said it’s “wide open for violations and does not contain exact ramifications (for) misdeeds” by city officials. Other topics for the study group would be term limits for elected city officials, passage of non-emergency resolutions, timely access to open records, salary and benefit clauses for

elected officials, leases, contracts, equipment and vehicle purchases, gas usage logs, insurance, audits, credit card use and reimbursement, travel reasons, meals, access to the general fund by the mayor, tax- and fee-based program revenue and expenditures, and other taxpayer concerns. “Many citizens are just now realizing via my campaign literature and my discussion-visits to their homes that the root cause of many of their complaints and issues with city government is directly attributed to the vaguely written language (or lack of language) within the charter,” Urban said.

VERDICT Continued from Page 1A

The suit originally also named police Chief Keith Keiper and Kingston as defendants, but they were later dismissed from the case. Niedzwiecki alleged Karasinski had no basis to pull her over, other than she had been traveling with four black friends, two of whom she had dropped off at the club. Karasinski maintained he stopped Niedzwiecki after she squealed her tires while pulling out of a parking lot next to the Cabaret, then noticed a smell of marijuana and a partially smoked marijuana

Authority),” Murray wrote. “The consideration Luzerne County received in exchange for its million dollar expenditure was the conditional right to half of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the franchise. There is no ambiguity in this language. Pennsylvania law is clear: Where ‘the language of the contract is clear and unambiguous, a court is required to give effect to that language.’ ” The Lackawanna County commissioners and the Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority agreed last year to sell the franchise for $14.6 million to a joint venture between Mandalay Baseball Properties LLC and Yankee Global Enterprises LLC.

An unsuccessful Republican candidate for mayor and County Council, Urban is challenging incumbent Democrat Bill Barrett for his seat in the city’s District D in November. Barrett said he doesn’t think the charter is designed to address some of the topics Urban mentioned, but “there’s nothing wrong with reviewing the charter … just as it doesn’t hurt to review any public document periodically.” He said he “would be happy” to be a part of a charter review and offer his insight. “But obviously,” Barrett said, “a candidate doing this three weeks before an election is certainly self-serving.”

cigarette in her vehicle as he spoke to her. While allegations of racial profiling dominated the trial, the all-white jury consisting of six women and two men did not directly rule on that issue. The key issue the panel addressed was whether Karasinski had a reasonable suspicion that Niedzwiecki may have been involved in criminal activity in order to stop her vehicle. Jurors determined he did, therefore there was no violation of Niedzwiecki’s rights. During the two-day trial before Senior U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik, Karasinski testified the area surrounding the Cabaret has a high crime rate. He said he became suspicious of Niedzwiecki after seeing her parked in a lot of a closed business.

been finalized. Luzerne County says it is owed half of the proceeds, less about $345,000 that would be paid to the stadium authority, because it put up $1 million to purchase the franchise in1986. Lackawanna County countersued, saying Luzerne County owes millions for repairs done on the stadium. A portion of the sale proceeds will be added to money coming from other sources to match $20 million the state has approved for stadium renovations. Murray said, in his opinion, the entire agreement clearly and unequivocally states the intention of the parties that Luzerne County guaranteed and paid $1 million to support a professional baseball franchise in Northeastern Pennsylvania. He said Luzerne County made no promises or agreements concerning the Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority and it neither agreed to

Karasinski said he opted to charge Niedzwiecki with disorderly conduct, rather than the drug charge, because he wanted to “cut her a break” given she had no prior record. She was later found not guilty of that charge by a district judge. Police were unable to present the marijuana cigarette Karasinski said he took from her car as evidence at the civil trial because it had been destroyed immediately after it was seized, he said. Karasinski said that was done because he did not believe he needed the evidence because he expected Niedzwiecki would plead guilty to the disorderly conduct charge. By the time he realized she was challenging the charge, the evidence had already been destroyed. Police had no

Attorney Frank Tunis, solicitor for the Lackawanna County MultiPurpose Stadium Authority, said he will not litigate the case in the media, but he did offer comment. “We obviously disagree with (Murray’s opinion),” Tunis said. “That will be decided by the courts. John McGee is doing everything he can to frustrate the sale of the franchise. We’re not going to take the bait, and we won’t discuss it in the press.” Tunis said “coincidentally” that it was McGee who drafted the agreement between the two counties. “Even he couldn’t tell me if it was ambiguous or not,” Tunis

Urban said she has always been active in city politics “and watching what these people are doing. … As for timing, I believe there’s no time like the present, whether it’s election time or Christmastime.” She said the “last straw” that pushed her to form a charter study group was the state Ethics Commission looking into a complaint that Mayor Tom Leighton violated ethics law by hiring his children for summer jobs and council passing a resolution to renew a lease for golf carts “without knowing the cost or stipulations of the lease.” Leighton did not return messages seeking comment left for

city spokesman Drew McLaughlin. City Council President Kathy Kane, who is also the county Democratic Party chairwoman, said she doesn’t think the charter needs to be amended and “it’s fine the way it is.” She also believes Urban’s announcement is politically motivated and she criticized her for running for both county council and city council in this year’s primary election. Regarding the golf cart lease, Kane said: “I have the information I need to have and there is no need to rescind the resolution.” She and Barrett said adequate information was provided at a work session that Urban did not attend.

sure the franchise is not moved. “The commissioners must take the deal with Mandalay and the New York Yankees off the table,” McGee said. “Tell the Yankees they are welcome to stay, but on our terms.” McGee said now is the time “to flush all of this out.” He said the terms of the proposed sale and the lease have not been finalized. “The only reason why the Yankees want to buy the franchise is to be able to move the team some day,” McGee said. Luzerne County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said the county’s position all along has been that it is entitled to 50 percent of the proceeds from a sale of the franchise. He said the litigation is pending before the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas. “The fact that we filed the lawsuit shows that it’s our position that we are entitled to 50 percent,” DeLuca said. “And the only other

Urban disagreed, saying Kane should have been able to provide the information at the council meeting if she had it. Urban said once recommendations for amendments to the charter are agreed upon, a “couple thousand” signatures would be needed to get them on the ballot. She hopes that could be accomplished for the 2012 general election. Leonard Piazza, county Bureau of Elections director, said the process for getting questions on the ballot would be similar to the one used a few years ago for a voter referendum on reducing the size of city council and instituting council elections by districts.

“This case is about a police officer who tried to show some compassion and got burned for it,” Adair said. Speaking after the trial, Adair said the amount of marijuana in question was very small. Karasinski’s decision to discard the marijuana evidence was in line with the police department’s policy at that time. He said the department has since changed its policy. Sklarosky said he suspects the jury sided with Karasinski in part because two of the passengers who were in Niedzwiecki’s car have criminal records for selling drugs. “My client is disappointed with the verdict. The jury listened and chose to believe we didn’t meet our burden of proof. We have to live with that,” he said.

written record that could verify that, however. In his closing statements, Niedzwiecki’s attorney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr., argued the marijuana cigarette never existed and Karasinski made up the story in order to hide that he had engaged in racial profiling. “I submit to you that if he found a marijuana cigarette in that car she would have been arrested for it,” Sklarosky said. “All this was fabricated to cover their tracks about what they did.” Karasinski’s attorney, Andrew Adair, acknowledged Karasinski should have saved the marijuana cigarette as evidence. The fact he didn’t showed only that he made an error in judgment in trying to help Niedzwiecki, he said.

said. “With all due respect to Dr. Murray, his opinions are irrelevant in this case.” Tunis said McGee provided copies of documents on the agreement to Luzerne County to aid in the filing of the lawsuit. “John McGee has been a vocal critic of the sale of the franchise,” Tunis said. McGee said Luzerne County could realize $7 million from the sale or more if the court rules the franchise value is higher. “If that happens, Lackawanna County taxpayers would have to bear the burden to meet the obligation of matching funds for the state grant,” McGee said. “There is no money allocated for those funds if needed.” McGee said Northeastern Baseball and Lackawanna County taxpayers should urge the stadium authority to nullify the sale and then sell the management rights to a local non-profit group to en-

Nathalie Joanlanne and Sheena Syal won the District 2 Class 2A doubles title. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. — As the ball sailed over the net and accounted for the match point, Wyoming Seminary’s Nathalie Joanlanne and Sheena Syal celebrated with a hug on the court at the Birchwood Racquet Club. The Blue Knights doubles team captured the District 2 Class 2A gold medal on Wednesday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Scranton Prep’s Emily Walsh and Grace Reilly as a Seminary team won the title for the second straight year. But it wasn’t easy. The match point was scored after a long tiebreaker in the ninth game when both teams were near the game-winning point several times. Had the Prep team taken the game, the score of the second set would have been 5-4 and it would have been anybody’s set. But strong returns by Joanlanne and Syal netted the final point to erase a few errors made earlier. “There was enough (pressure in the last game) there to shake up my game,” said Syal, a senior. “But eventually I got over it and I was like, ‘You know what – this is my game. I have to do it.’ ” Joanlanne and Syal now advance to the PIAA Doubles Championships on Nov. 4-5 at the Hershey Racquet Club.

Extra-inning blast gives Rangers 3-1 lead

Midseason report card in for Lions

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Penn State is now halfway through the season with a 5-1 record. But the final six games as a whole will be much tougher for the Nittany Lions. The following is a breakdown of the team headed into the second half.

DETROIT — Nelson Cruz made a rocket throw to keep the score tied, then hit a crushing three-run homer in the 11th inning off Jose Valverde that helped send the Texas Rangers over the Detroit Tigers 7-3 Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series. Cruz, whose grand slam in the 11th inning won Game 2, once again starred for the Rangers in a game delayed at the start for more than two hours by rain. With Detroit runners at the corners in

the eighth and the score 3-all, Cruz caught Delmon Young’s fly ball to right field and made a strong peg to catcher Mike Napoli to nail Miguel Cabrera. Napoli blooped a go-ahead single in the 11th and Cruz soon added his fourth home run of the ALCS. Cruz became the first player in major league history to hit a pair of extra-inning homers in the same postseason series. Texas tries for its second consecutive AL pennant on Thursday, sending C.J. Wilson to the mound to face Detroit ace Justin Verlander.

The ALCS has marked quite a turnaround for Cruz. After going just 1 for 15 in the first-round playoff win over Tampa Bay, he’s 5 for 14 with 9 RBIs in only four games against the Tigers — and seven of those RBIs have come in the 11th inning alone. Brandon Inge hit a solo home run in the Detroit seventh that tied it. The Tigers wasted a terrific chance an inning later following some risky Texas strategy. INSIDE: Boxscore, Page 4B

QUARTERBACK: C The overall production from the position probably merits a lower grade. But it’s unfair to heap all of the blame on the quarterbacks themselves when they’ve been put in such a difficult situation by the coaches. As a team, Penn State has completed just 51percent of its passes for 1,273 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions. One imagines the passing game would be sharper with one quarterback running the show day-in and dayout.

Cardinals relief pitcher Fernando Salas throws during Game 3 of the NLCS Wednesday in St. Louis.

Carpenter won his seventh postseason game to tie Bob Gibson’s franchise record, but with none of the brilliance of his three-hit shutout over Roy Halladay and the favored Phillies in the deciding game of the division series. He lasted only five innings, with nearly half of his 89 pitches for balls. The starters’ ineffectiveness was surprising considering their track records. Carpenter has been clutch throughout his career in the postseason, going 7-2 with a 3.14 ERA in 12 games. Gallardo allowed only two runs in 21 innings, a minuscule 0.86 ERA, before Game 3. Kyle Lohse, pitching on 12 days’ rest, starts Game 4 Thursday for the wild-card Cardinals against Randy Wolf.

ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit an RBI double during a four-run first inning and the St. Louis bullpen bailed out Chris Carpenter as the Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 Wednesday night for a 2-1 edge in the NL championship series. In a matchup of aces, neither Carpenter nor 17-game Yovani Gallardo made it past the fifth. The one-run lead Carpenter handed over was just enough, as four relievers combined for four perfect innings. Fernando Salas, Lance Lynn, Marc Rzepczynski and Jason Motte shut down the Brewers to close out the victory. Motte, who had two saves lasting more than inning in September, got four outs for this save and fanned pinch hitter INSIDE: Boxscore, Page 4B Casey McGehee to end it.

he Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will leave PNC Field to play a whole season away from home this summer. They aren’t coming back. At least, not as the Yankees. Suddenly, the New York Yankees are getting stingy with their brand name. You know, the name they so graciously bestowed upon their Triple-A baseball franchise when they moved the team to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2007 and told the local boys to play it up big? Well, in the name of the 27-time world champions, that’s all about to change. “There’s only one team they want as the Yankees,” said Jim Timlin, the chairman of the Lackawanna County Stadium Authority board. “And they live in the Bronx.” According to Timlin, it wasn’t exactly an edict when New York’s minor league affiliates in Tampa, Staten Island and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre were recently told by the New York brass to drop Yankees as their nickname. “It was a recommendation,” Timlin said. “We don’t have to listen to them. But it would be a good idea to go along with them.” Could the Yankees be stringing Scranton/Wilkes-Barre along? It’s fair to wonder these days. Their Triple-A team will spend their summer days in 2012 calling various other International League cities home – including Lehigh Valley, Rochester and Syracuse – while PNC Field undergoes an expected $40 million renovation. Things could change drastically even before that. A published report on baseballdigest.com last month suggested that the New York Yankees intend to bolt the business of minor league baseball, trying to sell off their ownership rights to Staten Island and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. They just sold the Staten Island franchise to another ownership group last week. And the parent Yankees don’t even own Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s franchise yet. But they’re teamed with Mandalay Baseball in a partnership called Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees Inc. – which currently operates the Scranton/WilkesBarre franchise and is trying to buy it from Lackawanna County. See where this is going? If the New York Yankees are partnering up to acquire control of a minor league team, yet want out of minor league ownership, who ends up with the rights to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s team? Why, that mad mover of many minor league franchises Mandalay, of course. This has the mark of a bait and switch. New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman didn’t return phone messages about that possibility Wednesday. And Timlin – who just returned from minor league meetings in Albuquerque, N.M. – said he hadn’t heard of such a scenario. “Why would the Yankees want to get out of the business of minor league baseball?” Timlin asked incredulously. Maybe for the same reasons they want to take back their name. “The Yankees, when they come back (to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) in 2013, may have a different name,” Timlin said. “Scranton/Wilkes-Barre-something. The naming rights are up for grabs.” The hometown where New York’s Triple-A team plays will soon be anybody’s guess, too. Maybe for more than just a year. Because in a New York minute, the name of the game just keeps changing.

H.S. FOOTBALL

Big plays favor Dallas in victory Five plays. Doesn’t sound like much, but in a close football game on any level, they can be the difference between victory and defeat. This is a theory that’s been around for quite some time. Joe Paterno mentioned it a few weeks back. And last Saturday, it was in full force as Dallas edged Wyoming Valley West 28-27 in a battle of the final two Wyoming Valley Conference unbeaten teams. The biggest play came after Valley West pulled within a point with 1:04 remaining. Dallas defensive end Keifer Rogers made it, working free from his block and making the initial hit on Valley West quarterback Eugene Lewis on a failed two-point conversion try. Rogers’ effort gave Dallas a 4-1 advantage in those five plays and ultimately the victory. Here are the other four plays that, in my opinion, were decisive. · Injury to Valley West running back Tashawn Bunch. Bunch came into the week averaging 112 rushing yards per game, but once he injured his shoulder just three carries into the first quarter, the Spartans had to rely heavily on Lewis to run the ball. And Dallas knew it. · Interception by Dallas’ Jason Simonovich at the Dallas 5-yard line. Simonovich’s pick came with 3:58 left in the third quarter and Dallas leading 14-7. Lewis had receiver Lucky Williams open in the left corner of the end zone, but Simonovich stretched his 6-foot-4 frame as high as he could and plucked the ball with one hand. The turnover led to a touchdown drive. · Tackle by Dallas’ Shane Dunn on a punt return by Lewis. Lewis fielded a punt at the Valley West 18, then picked his way to midfield. He was just about to start a sprint to the end zone when Dunn was able to dive and swat the Penn State recruit’s ankles from under him, preventing a sure touchdown. Had Lewis scored – and he

JOHN ERZAR NOTEBOOK would have if not for Dunn – Valley West would have trailed 28-27 with about four minutes left. Instead, the Spartans chewed up nearly three minutes to pull within a point. And perhaps Valley West would have kicked the extra point instead of going for two. · Lewis’ touchdown pass on fourth-and-12 with 1:04 to play. This came so close to being another play to go Dallas’ way. Inside linebacker Jim Roccograndi blitzed, but Lewis was able to sidestep him, roll to his right and toss a pass into a pack of players. Williams emerged with the ball, leading to the biggest play of the game – the failed two-point conversion attempt. HURTING SOME MORE Wyoming Valley West suffered more than just a loss when it fell 28-27 to Dallas on Saturday. Two more starters – running back Tashawn Bunch (shoulder) and lineman Pete Cwalina (leg) – left the game because of injuries. Coach Pat Keating said afterward that seven players who were on the field in the season opener at Scranton weren’t on the field last Saturday.

T I M ES L E A D E R D I ST R I CT 2 TO P 15 Teams are ranked based on performance and not how they would fare against each other. Number before each team is last week’s ranking. NR means not ranked last week. District 4’s Williamsport is including in the rankings since it plays in the WVC. 1. (1) Valley View (6-0) Faces biggest test of the season as it heads to Delaware Valley. 2. (3) Dallas (6-0) Needs to be careful vs. Crestwood after emotional win vs. Valley West. 3. (2) Valley West (5-1) Going for two was the right decision vs. Dallas, but it didn’t work out. 4. (4) Delaware Valley (6-0) Outcome vs. Valley View could determine where it plays in the postseason. 5. (5) Dunmore (6-0) Three of the last four games are on the road vs. quality opponents. 6. (6) GAR (5-1) Gets a surging Lake-Lehman squad on its home turf Friday night. 7. (7) Crestwood (5-1) At Dallas and then at Wyoming Valley West the next two weeks. 8. (9) Wyoming Area (4-1) Schedule gets much tougher after winless Redeemer on Friday night. 9. (8) Lackawanna Trail (5-1) Upset by Mid Valley last week and now travels to Old Forge. 10. (10) Lakeland (4-2) Friday’s Dunmore game could decide whether it travels on Week 11. 11. (11) Old Forge (4-2) Bumping of Trail on Friday could lead to a D2-A home playoff game. 12. (12) Wallenpaupack (5-1) Has won two games by three points or less, including 17-14 vs. Prep last week. 13. (15) Coughlin (3-3) Big victory over 4A Stroudsburg puts it in control of its own destiny. 14. (NR) Western Wayne (3-3) Rollercoaster season appears like it will continue the rest of the way. 15. (14) Riverside (3-3) Losses in two of its last three probably means a road trip come playoffs. Dropped out: West Scranton (2-3). Given consideration: Berwick (3-3); Mid Valley (3-3); Scranton (3-3); Susquehanna (4-2). —John Erzar

T I M E S L E A D E R P L AY E R O F T H E W E E K Sadiq Burkholder QB – Williamsport The quarterback position has lacked consistency this season for Williamsport. Burkholder provided it – and a much-needed victory – last Friday at Pittston Area. Burkholder threw two touchdown passes, including a 7-yarder to Ryan Hostrander in overtime, as the Millionaires snapped a four-game losing streak with a 20-14 victory. Burkholder also ran for a touchdown. His overall statistics were modest – 57 yards on the ground and 73 through the air by connecting on 5-of-11 passes – but getting a win was the biggest stat. Given Consideration Nick Aigeldinger, QB, Crestwood Darrell Crawford, QB/DB/KR, GAR Brian Maslowski, RB, Nanticoke Past Winners Week One Jordan Houseman, WR, Pittston Area Week Two Jim Roccograndi, RB, Dallas Week Three Nick O’Brien, QB/RB, Wyoming Area Week Four Joe Parsnik, RB, Coughlin Week Five Darrell Crawford, QB/DB/KR, GAR

BRACE YOURSELF It was nice to see Dallas standout wingback Paul Brace back on the field after missing four games with a foot injury. Brace scored the first time he touched the ball as he hauled in a short pass and turned up field for a 15-yard touchdown. BIG-MONEY TOSSES Williamsport had quite a passing attack the past two seasons with Marquise Keiser. This year, two quarterbacks haven’t made much of an impact until Sadiq Burkholder threw two TD passes in a 20-14 overtime win at Pittston Area. Those were the first touchdown passes by Williamsport since week 2. Keiser had 27 in his two years as the starter.

THANKS, EUGENE Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti gave an assist to Wyoming Valley West quarterback Eugene Lewis for Saturday night’s 24-21 victory over Stroudsburg. Two week ago, the Crusaders spent Friday night chasing around the elusive Lewis in a 33-19 loss. On Saturday, Stroudsburg’s Robbie Bennie

MISSED ONE A few weeks back, there was an email discussion among high school football writers statewide regarding the last time a team scored 70 points in your area. I missed one that happened not too long ago. Northwest defeated Carson Long, which is just outside Harrisburg, 77-0 in 2007. ALL-CAREER HIGHS Holy Redeemer lost a wild one last Saturday to Nanticoke 52-36, but Royal sophomore quarterback Jimmy Strickland set personal single-game highs for passing attempts (19), competitions (12), completion percentage (63 percent), yards (206) and touchdown passes (3).

But Joanlanne and Syal wrapped up the first set claiming the final two games. “There’s so much momentum when you’re ahead – and even when you’re down – because you know that you can win this and play your best,” said Joanlanne, a freshman. “This is a great year for us, and it’s so exciting for the both of us.” Earlier on Wednesday, the Seminary tandem advanced to the finals with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Holy Redeemer’s Fallyn Boich and Nellie Chmil. The Royals showed some punch in the second set taking a 1-0 lead, but the Seminary girls proved to be too much, winning five of the last six games. The Redeemer duo, which was playing doubles and on an indoor court for the first time this season, will use Wednesday’s showing as a building block heading into next week’s District 2 Class 2A team semifinals. The Royals have a bye until their match on Oct. 20. The Royals (12-1) will likely see Wyoming Seminary in the event having dealt the Knights their lone loss. “To have this experience against tough players – and they had a tough match against Valley View in the quarterfinals – so all four matches they played is just going to help them going forward,” Redeemer coach Paul Gerrity said.

The official, who I didn’t recognize, said it was the second time he’s been knocked over during a game, and both times by Division I recruits. Lewis has made a verbal commitment to Penn State. The other was Williamsport’s Darrell Blackman, who went on to play at North Carolina State. pionships are set to begin next week with four matches hosted by the higher seeds before the remaining teams gather on Oct. 20 for the semifinals and finals at Kirby Park. Ten of the 12 teams are set for the event with three teams vying for the final two Class 3A spots. In 3A, Abington Heights (12-0) and Williamsport (16-0) have locked up the top two seeds and a bye until the semifinals. Crestwood (11-2) and Wallenpaupack (10-2) have secured the No. 3 and 4 seeds respectively. Those two teams are awaiting competitors. Honesdale and Coughlin, both with 8-4 records, and Hazleton Area (7-5) are trying for the last two berths. The Hornets have wrapped up their schedule and the Crusaders will get in with a win over MMI Prep today. A loss to the Preppers will allow the Cougars an opportunity to advance with a win over Tunkhannock on Friday. In Class 2A, the matchups are all set with top-seeded Scranton Prep (12-0) and No. 2 seed Holy Redeemer (12-1) grabbing the byes. In Monday’s quarterfinals, No. 4 seed Dallas (11-2) will host fifth-seeded Valley View (10-2) at 7 p.m. and third-seeded Wyoming Seminary (12-1) will face No. 6 Mid Valley (8-4) at 4 p.m. in Kingston.

Meszaros’ goal in third helps Flyers stay unbeaten

Mormina, Pens support cause with mustaches

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Andrej Meszaros scored the go-ahead goal in the third period to keep the Philadelphia Flyers undefeated with a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. James van Riemsdyk, Claude Giroux, Chris Pronger and Jakub Voracek also scored for the Flyers in their home opener and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov won his third straight start. Daniel Sedin tied it for Vancouver early in the third. Meszaros wasted no time putting the Flyers back in front, this time for good, rushing the ice and snapping a wrister past Roberto Luongo 59 seconds later. Mikael Samuelsson, Henrik Sedin and Chris Higgins also scored for Vancouver.

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Hurricanes 3, Bruins 2 RALEIGH, N.C. — Anthony Stewart and Jiri Tlusty scored third-period goals to help Carolina beat Boston. Joni Pitkanen scored on the power play and Cam Ward made 26 saves for the Hurricanes. They never trailed, claimed their first win and avoided matching their worst start since the lockout. . Avalanche 3, Blue Jackets 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gabriel Landeskog scored his first NHL goal with 40 seconds left and Matt Duchene had the deciding shootout goal in Colorado’s victory over Columbus before 8,986 fans, the smallest crowd to watch a regular-season game at Nationwide Arena. Columbus is 0-3-1 this season.

If you see Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defenseman Joey Mormina walking around town sporting a mustache next month, he’s not doing it to look cool. Mormina does want to attract attention with a hairy upper lip, but it’s not for himself. It’s for a cause. Mormina’s father-in-law, Nels Palm, is battling prostrate cancer. He was diagnosed last year and the cancer recently came back. Palm is undergoing radiation treatment and he’s doing well with his fight. It’s a fight that Mormina and his Penguin teammates are ready to join. To help raise awareness about prostrate cancer along with money to fight it, the Penguins will conduct a unique fundraiser during their home games this Friday and Saturday. Five buckets will be located at the Penguins raffle

table behind section 108. Fans can drop money into the buckets – each one featuring the name of a Penguins player – Brian Strait, Zach Sill, Colin McDonald, Ryan Craig and Eric Tangradi. The player who receives the most donated money during the two games has pledged to grow a mustache for the entire month of November. While the five players are willing to grow a mustache for a worthy cause, Mormina said it’s actually a team effort. “It was actually 25 guys that volunteered,” he said. “The front office chose five to focus on, and the other guys have been asking if there’s anything else they can do. Other guys are going to grow mustaches anyway. “It means a lot to my wife and I that the guys and the community are behind it.” The contest is a fun way to help spread the word about a serious condition. Prostate cancer will affect one in six men during their

lifetimes, and is the second most common form of cancer among men, trailing only skin cancer. Approximately 240,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. All money raised this weekend will be donated to the American Cancer Society, which runs a program called Man to Man to help men cope with prostate cancer by offering community-based education and support for patients and their family members. And in November, as far as the Penguins are concerned, that support will be identified with a mustache. “It’s one of those things you can’t take on or off,” Mormina said. “You might get some funny looks at the grocery store because in today’s society you don’t see too many people with mustaches.” But that may change now that growing a mustache is much

GRADES

more than a fashion statement. Thanks to the Penguins, it’s a show of support. “Prostrate cancer is something I didn’t know much about beforehand, but now I have experience with it because it’s affecting a member of my family.” Mormina said. NOTES The Penguins practiced for a little over an hour on Wednesday before boarding a bus for Rochester, where they will play tonight. Ben Street didn’t practice but assistant coach Alain Nasreddine said the forward doesn’t have a major injury and may return next week. Nick Petersen practiced without a red no contact jersey and Nasreddine said he will continue to work on his conditioning and could return next week. Petersen has yet to play this season after sustaining a concussion before training camp.

ton of room to run, Silas Redd has excelled in his first season as a starter. His 574 rushing yards rank second among Big Ten running backs and he has starred in both of the Lions’ two Big Ten wins. And even though the unit has been hurt by injury (Brandon Beachum) and suspension (Stephfon Green), the next guy has stepped up. Curtis Dukes has been a great complement to Redd so far this month. RECEIVER: B After a shaky start that featured too many drops, Derek Moye and company have been much more reliable in recent weeks. Penn State could use some more diversity here, as Moye and Justin Brown have dominated the stat sheet in receptions. The Lions may be forced to find some starting this week. A report by Fight On State on Wednesday indicated that Moye missed practice with a foot injury and his status for Saturday against Purdue is unknown. OFFENSIVE LINE: C Things greatly improved last week against Iowa but more is still expected from a unit comprised entirely of players who have been with the program for at least four seasons. Pass protection has been solid, giving up just five sacks in six games. Opening consistent holes in the run game will go a long way to a successful season for the Lions. DEFENSIVE LINE: A Though Penn State would still like to see a better pass rush from the perimeter, dominating tackle Devon Still has established himself as one of the best in the nation and was named a midseason All-American by ESPN on Wednesday. Fellow tackle Jordan Hill has also been strong. Of the veteran defensive ends, junior Sean Stanley has made the biggest impact, playing a part in multiple turnovers. LINEBACKER: A Despite missing its best player in Michael Mauti, the unit has not missed a beat. Senior Nate Stupar has made big plays in Mauti’s absence and Gerald Hodges is emerging as a playmaker. Only a sophomore, Glenn Carson has been solid and relatively mistakefree in the middle. Khairi Fortt and Mike Hull both have plenty of promise as well. DEFENSIVE BACK: A Same story here, as a veteran group has played well despite missing top performer D’Anton Lynn. Credit to Tom Bradley, who coaches the cornerbacks directly, for having true freshman Adrian Amos playing so well against Iowa last week. Penn State ranks in the top five in the nation in pass defense and pass efficiency defense. SPECIAL TEAMS: C Up from a full-fledged ‘F’ after the first three weeks, Anthony Fera has been reliable in all three facets of the kicking game. Coverage units have been fine, though the return game has been stagnant since Chaz Powell’s season-opening touchdown. COACHING: C Tempting to go up to a ‘B’ because of the outstanding play of the defense in the face of injuries. But to go six games and still not make a decision on a quarterback is a failure by the staff. Major struggles in the red zone remain a significant problem to solve.

Capital seeks Chapter 9 Harrisburg’s mayor, top lawyer say the bankruptcy filing signed by council member not legal. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s financially distressed capital city is seeking Chapter 9 bankruptcy, citing overwhelming debt, but Harrisburg’s mayor and top city lawyer said the filing signed by a city council member was not legal. The petition docketed by U.S. Middle District bankruptcy court Wednesday listed about $458 million in creditors and claims, and said the city faced “imminent jeopardy” from six pending legal actions by creditors related to a debtsaddled trash incinerator.

“The city does not have the ability to pay those money judgments or any significant portion thereof and still provide health and safety services to its citizens and other essential government services,” wrote attorney Mark D. Schwartz, who did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The filing was signed by Councilwoman Susan Wilson after a 4-3 vote by the council in favor of a resolution to authorize it late Tuesday. A spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson said Wednesday the council lacks the legal authority to seek bankruptcy. The trash incinerator is owned by the Harrisburg Authority, and Schwartz wrote that the principal amount the city has guaranteed is about $242 million, with $65 million past due. “The magnitude of that debt is

sufficiently large that it dwarfs the city’s other liabilities,” Schwartz wrote. “Under the guaranties, the city would need to cover a combined $83 million of past due payments and the 2011 debt service.” The filing said talks with creditors were not likely to produce a solution. “The size of the outstanding bond debt is overwhelming,” it said. “Negotiations are impracticable with one group of creditors where negotiations with another key group have hit an impasse.” The legal move comes the week before the state Senate is expected to take up a House-passed bill to authorize Gov. Tom Corbett or his designee to assume many of the city’s financial functions in response to the stalemate between Thompson and a council majority over how best to resolve the financial crisis.

Peanut prices to rise

Another hot, dry summer in key peanut producing states and competition from more profitable crops like cotton have significantly shrunk the U.S. peanut crop this year. The tight supply means consumers will soon pay more for yet another grocery staple. FOR DAILY STOCKS GO TO: TLGETS./ME /STOCKS

Job openings down, hiring up in August Employers dismissed 1.66 million workers in August, down from 1.69 million in July. By BOB WILLIS Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON -- Job openings fell in August for the first time in four months, signaling a sustained labor market recovery will take time to unfold. The number of positions waiting to be filled dropped by 157,000 to 3.06 million, according to Labor Department figures issued Wednesday. Hiring increased by 38,000 to 4.01 million. Payrolls climbed by 103,000 workers in September, a better- than-forecast outcome that included 45,000 returning Verizon strikers. With unemployment hovering above 9 percent and the economy slowing, employers may be slow to further boost hiring. “Companies don’t want to risk making additional hires with the outlook so uncertain,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in New York. Job openings decreased 4.9 percent in August from a revised 3.21million in July that were smaller than initially reported, the data showed. Employers dismissed 1.66 million workers in August, down from 1.69 million in July, the report also showed. In the 12 months ended in August, the economy created a net 1.2 million jobs, representing about 47.9 million hires and about 46.7 million separations, today’s report showed. Compared with the 14 million Americans who were unemployed in August, Wednesday’s figures indicate there were more than four people vying for every opening, up from about two when the last recession began in December 2007.

Feeling squeeze

By GABRIELE STEINHAUSER AP Business Writer

BRUSSELS — The European Union plans to force the region’s biggest banks to raise billions of euros in capital to better withstand market turmoil over the high debt in several euro countries, the European Commission’s president said Wednesday. Jose Manuel Barroso also warned that key European banks should not be allowed to pay out dividends or bonuses until they have raised their capital buffers to the new standards. The fear gripping the financial sector now is that banks could take big losses on bonds they own from governments with shaky finances, like Greece. That uncertainty is stifling lending — both between

banks and to the wider economy — which threatens to throw the 17-nation eurozone into a new recession. Under the new rules, systemically important banks in Europe will have to implement new international rules on bank capital much earlier than 2019, as was initially foreseen. That means the continent’s biggest banks have to bolster the financial pad they maintain to absorb losses to about 9 percent of their loans, investments and other risky assets, said a person familiar with the matter, compared with the 5 percent to 6 percent they needed to pass this summer’s stress tests, and the 7 percent envisioned in the global accord known as Basel III. The person did not say when the new capital levels would have to be

reached, saying only that it would be “substantially earlier” than 2019. The person was speaking on condition of anonymity because the European Banking Authority won’t disclose the new standards until next week. Barroso presented the proposals on bank capital as part of a broader plan to tackle the currency union’s debt troubles, which has dragged on for close to two years. He also suggested continued support for Greece, a more effective use of the resources of the eurozone bailout fund, and bigger powers for the Commission to control national budgets. The EU’s executive hopes the bloc’s leaders will embrace its suggestions at a crucial summit on Oct. 23.

Retailer will pay $267.5 million for the designer’s bands and Monet brand.

By MARIA HALKIAS The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS, Texas — J.C. Penney Co. said Wednesday it has reached an agreement with Liz Claiborne Inc. to pay $267.5 million for the worldwide rights for the Liz Claiborne brands and the U.S. and Puerto Rico rights for the fashion-jewelry brand Monet. Penney has been the exclusive licensee for all Liz Claiborne and Claiborne-branded merchandise in the U.S. and Puerto Rico since August 2010. The original 10-year agreement allowed Penney to exercise its rights to purchase the brands after the fifth year of the agreement, but the terms were accelerated. The Plano, Texas-based department store chain expects that by August 2012 its stores will begin selling Monet, a staple fashion-jewelry brand at higher-end department stores. Myron “Mike” Ullman, Penney’s chairman and CEO, said the brands acquired have “consistently exceeded our high expectations.” The transaction is expected to close in 30 days, and Penney said it plans to retain the Liz Claiborne design team. The brands included are Liz Claiborne, Claiborne, Liz, Liz & Co., Concepts by Claiborne, LC, Elizabeth, LizGolf, LizSport, Liz Claiborne New York and Lizwear brands. Penney is also paying Liz Claiborne Inc. $20 million to develop exclusive brands for the chain of 1,100 department stores.

Blackberry blackout hits home, but will it leads to conversions? If you’re a Blackberry user, odds are you’re an e-mail junkie – the keypad is the one reason Blackberry users give for resisting a switch to another platform. The other possibility is that your employer distributes the devices, or requires the security that RIM technology offers. But what happens when you take it all away? The data, the email and the security? Imagine if your smartphone was useless for anything but phone calls and text messaging. Blackberry users worldwide are finding out just what that feels like.

TECH TALK NICK DELORENZO The glitch started in Europe, then spread to the Middle East, Africa and Asia. On Wednesday Blackberry maker Research in Motion Ltd. said sporadic outages had hit the United States and Canada. It left Blackberry users without email and web service. Millions of businesspeople clutched their lobotomized devices in fury and frustration as they strug-

gled to communicate and receive critical information from golf fairways and high-end restaurants. They were reduced to Luddites, having to communicate using only the sound of their voice. They could only watch in envy as students and housewives blithely used their iPhones to perform tasks their phones could not. RIM could offer little explanation, other than a “core switch failure” and that a backup also malfunctioned. In the Americas – at least until Wednesday – technophiles watched with mild interest, and Blackberry users

with a vague sense of dismay as their brethren across the Atlantic struggled with the issue. As this column was filed, the problems weren’t particularly widespread in the United States. They might not even materialize as a full-blown outage here. But it must make Blackberry users think that maybe it’s time to make a switch. I’m interested to see what the resolution is, or how long this problem will continue. Blackberry users love to tout the security of the platform. I guess your emails are pretty secure when you can’t even transmit them. Nick DeLorenzo is director of interactive and new media for The Times Leader. E-mail him at ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.

Now that drier air has moved in aloft this morning, the chance for rain has diminished for today. Some thin spots in the overcast may show up for a time, and later today temperatures will once again approach 70. The warm air will remain in town tonight, but more showers will arrive along with more fog. Additional rainfall will be a half inch or less. On Friday, colder air moving aloft will generate more showers that could last into early Friday evening. Expect a colder and windy day on Saturday, then a nicer day on Sunday. - Tom Clark

Counter-clockwise from lower right: David Hergan, RuthAnn Hergan, Alessandro Mannino, Kolby Tuminelli, Athena Mannino, Frances Mannino and Kathleen Hergan. In keeping with national statistics, the family gets together for dinner as often as possible.

“P

ut your phone away, please” might be heard more often than “please pass the peas,” and opinions on the latest reality-show contestants might have replaced chatter about the goings-on down the street, but the fundamentals of the sitdown family dinner have remained in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where plenty of families endeavor to keep this meal an important part of their lives. Kathleen Hergan, 27, of Exeter says she strives to have dinner with her family three to four times a week. Her generation-spanning brood includes: her son Kolby Tuminelli, 4; parents RuthAnn, 62, and Dave, 71; brother David, 28; sister Frances Mannino, 32; and her children Athena, 2, and Alessandro, 7. The dinners are laid-back with the only agreement being the television has to be off. “Eating dinner with the family keeps away societal distractions and allows us to focus on each other for a while,” Frances Mannino explained. With such a large clan, things can get a little out of hand.

“Sometimes it gets hectic and loud, and my mom might say, ‘OK, everyone go home!’ but it’s nice for the hour or two that we get to do it,” Kathleen said. “I’ve had family dinners since I was young, and I kept the tradition alive because I felt it was an important value that I wanted my kids to have,” RuthAnn added. Others echo the sentiment. Susan and Mark Lehman, 38 and 40, of Hanover Township say it’s all about finding a break in an incredibly hectic schedule. The parents work full-time jobs, plus Mark owns Breaker Brewing Co. And daughters Caitlin, 9, and Emily,

7, are involved in softball and swim- planning a wedding and trying to find a house,” Cassie Ninotti said, “but if ming. “It’s a guaranteed half hour out of we can’t make time, even just two the day where we can sit down and hours, to spend with family, where talk about what’s going on,” Susan would we be?

Tradition remains vital for households around the country By JUDY HEVRDEJS Chicago Tribune

BY THE NUMBERS

family dinner can come in many forms. It might bring together a mom, dad, preteen and toddler, a trio of fresh-out-of-college roommates for pizza or a quartet of friends for a potluck, all sharing stories and food. Yet beyond the variations and despite rumors of its demise, the ritual of gathering for a meal is doing quite well, thank you, with many of America’s 310 million-plus people sitting down together several times a week. “In the total U.S. population, some 75 percent of all households that have children under18 have at least five dinners together in the course of a week,” says Harry Balzer, citing data from his just-released 26th annual Eating Patterns in America report. That number is in line with a steady return to the family dinner table since the recession hit three years ago, says Balzer, who has been tracking what America eats for more than 30 years at NPD Group, a market-research firm. “Family dinner in and of itself is this sort of ‘good’ in family life. It’s a way of fostering communication with your family, staying connected with your family no matter how busy and crazy your life’s schedules are,” says Grace Freedman, a New York-based independent public-health researcher who founded eatdinner.org several years ago.

75: percentage of households with children younger than 18 that have at least five dinners together each week. 90: percentage of dinners cooked on the stovetop.

Artists and authors have been portraying “family dinner” for years, of course, since long before Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. Filmmakers and playwrights tackle it regularly, whether it’s “You Can’t Take It With You” or 1977’s “Annie Hall” or 1997’s “Soul Food.” The clothes change. So does the food. But as Balzer says, “I bet the discussion, the activity at the table, is … more Cleaver-like than you would believe, because I don’t think there’s been a mutation in parents’ concern about their children. Your mother, your grandmother, your greatgrandmother were all concerned about children just as much as we are today.” So what’s on the table today? Bottled water,

iced tea and pizza are more likely than a decade ago, while glasses of milk, potatoes and vegetables are less likely, Balzer says. That doesn’t mean we’ve stopped cooking. A generation ago, some 75 percent of all dinners featured a main dish assembled from fresh ingredients or prepared with some labor. Today, it’s 60 percent. “It’s declining, but it’s still 60 percent,” he says. And we’ve trimmed courses. Dinner in 1986 might have included a main dish, two sides, a dessert perhaps and a beverage. Today? Timecrunched lives and a dicey economy have helped put one-dish meals (and slow cookers) in the spotlight.

The word “poncho” can conjure up visions of the Old West or of a garbage bag with a circle cut through the top — a common solution for rainy-day recess or unexpected showers during a marathon. But for fall, ponchos of a more posh variety glided down designer runways looking sleek, elegant and ladylike. The poncho and its cousin, the cape coat, are trickling into stores now. They offer a stylish alternative to the typical fall coat, providing just the right amount of warmth when the weather cools. The terms cape and poncho may seem interchangeable, but they are two different kinds of outerwear. According to the “Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion,” a cape is sleeveless, cut as a circle or half circle with slits for the arms. A poncho is shaped like a square or small oblong with a hole in the center for the wearer’s head to go through. Both have a dramatic, swooping silhouette that makes the wearer look something like a chic superhero. And both could be thrown over something as simple as pajamas and still look great. For something more sophisticated, you could go with the ’70sinspired, camel-colored cape as seen on the Lanvin runway or something straight-up preppy, such as a plaid duffle cape with toggle buttons from Fidelity Sportswear. A solid piece will be more versatile. Punch it up by layering a long-sleeved striped or printed shirt underneath. A patterned cape or poncho, on the other hand, is a statement piece, and everything else with which it is worn should be solid or subdued. For a petite frame, watch the bulk and the length. If the garment is too long, you’ll look like a little igloo with feet. The great thing about a poncho or cape is that it can be dressed up or down and it’s a nice departure from the usual outerwear.

A Fidelity Sportswear plaid duffle cape ($268 at www.stevenalan.com) makes a real fall fashion statement. A cape is a circular garment, while a poncho is square or rectangular.

CHAPTER TWO A Ship!

Abby,” Becky said, “it is such a nice day—shall we stay outside a bit? I think Father would not mind, as long as we get our work done before he comes home. The sky is so blue today!” Becky seemed to know that Abby was afraid, but she did not say so. Abby was glad. She did not want to talk about British ships or British soldiers or the news of war that Father might bring back from town. It was nice just to sit here with her sister, as they did on so many days, with the sun on their backs and the smooth, warm stone of the boulders under their bare feet. “Look at all the seagulls,” Becky said. “They must be hunting for fish,” said Abby. The seagulls flew over the water, diving down and squawking at each other. Below the cliffs, little white waves spread over the sand and slipped slowly back again. Abby put her hand to her eyes and looked at the ocean. There were no ships on it for as far as she could see. It was hard to stay afraid on this bright day! Abby stood up and jumped to the next boulder to look at a tide pool. The ocean made these pools when it sent high waves over the cliffs. Sometimes the waves carried little sea animals onto the rocks and left them behind in the pools. “Look, Becky—a starfish!” she called. The small yellow starfish had five arms. It lay very still. There was not much water in its pool. Becky came to see. “I think this pool is too small to keep the starfish alive,” she said. “The water will dry up in the sun.” “Can we take it to a bigger pool?” Abby

STORY SO FAR: Father has gone to town, leaving Abby and Becky alone at the lighthouse.

said. “I know a good one back there.” She pointed behind them. “If it is not too far,” said Becky. “Then we must go home and get to work. What will Father think if he comes home and there is no supper?” For just a minute, Abby had forgotten that Father was gone and they were alone. She did not want to think about it now. She reached into the pool and picked up the starfish. It lay still in her hand, but she could feel the sticky cups on its arms holding on to her skin. The starfish was alive. “I can find the other pool quickly,” Abby said. “It is not very far.” She held the starfish carefully as she led Becky to the pool. It was hard to walk fast with the starfish in her hand. She was afraid the hot sun would burn it, or that she would drop it before they came to the pool. Abby stepped carefully from one rock to the next. The pool was farther away than she had thought. At last she saw it, in the hollow of a large rock. “Here it is!” she called. She bent down and put the starfish in the water. It moved a bit, so she knew it was alive. Now it would be safe. “Goodbye, starfish,” she said. “Becky, look at all the little bugs on top of the water!” But Becky did not come to look. She was looking out at the ocean. “Abby,” she said. “A ship!” Abby looked up and saw the ship. Its white sails were full of wind. It was far away, but it was sailing straight toward the lighthouse. “Oh, Becky,’’ she cried, “it must be a British ship!”

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2011 PAGE 5C

Youngster’s kidney disease should be a topic for open discussion Dear Abby: I have two sons, 19 and 12. My younger boy has a rare form of kidney disease. His kidney function is currently normal, but his doctor says that in the future he may need a new kidney. At that point, his brother would be high on the list for compatibility and availability. I, sadly, would not. How does one mention the possibility of being a donor to his older brother? Is it even fair to ask? If he doesn’t offer, would I always resent it? Should we wait until there is a real need before asking? — Planning Ahead in California Dear Planning Ahead: All families

DEAR ABBY ADVICE are different, and it’s a credit to yours that you’re thinking ahead regarding some of the difficult aspects related to donation. This subject can sometimes be fraught with the potential for perceived coercion. It can be offset by NOT framing it as a “request” from one family member, but as a general family discussion about the loved one’s health situation. Among the issues that should be raised: What does it mean for your younger son to have this rare kidney disease? What’s the survival rate for an adolescent who receives a living

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

donor transplant? What is involved in the donation process? These questions should be raised as a family in conversation with a physician or other members of the kidney care team. Family members can then talk about how they feel about the issue, NOT as a response to a question. This provides a chance for better education about the condition as well as the process, and reduces fear. The decision to be a living donor is a voluntary one and should be entered into free of pressure. Some people may not want to take the risk — and their rights should be respected. The National Kidney Foundation provides information on its website regarding this subject. Visit kidney. org to learn more.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: I share a small office space with a co-worker, “Tammy,” who is going through a nasty divorce. At first I tried to be supportive and listen to her problems, but now I think it was a mistake. I now dread going to work because I know I’ll have to 1isten to a litany of complaints as soon as I walk through the door. I have tried to encourage Tammy to talk to a priest or a psychologist, but she refuses because she’s embarrassed. Is it time to inform our manager? I don’t want to get Tammy in trouble, but I feel I’m incapable of giving her the kind of support she seems to need. I’m not sure how much longer I can take this. Please help. — Well-Intentioned in Minneapolis

Dear Well-Intentioned: Summon up the courage to tell Tammy that although you care about her, you can no longer listen to her problems because it’s distracting you from your responsibilities at work. Explain again that these are issues she should be sharing with a trained professional. If she persists in bringing her personal problems to you, THEN ask your manager to put a stop to it.

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). Success will have more to do with your winning attitude than anything else. You’ll express yourself in a manner that shows your intent to solve problems, not create them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t try too hard to calculate every aspect of a risk. You couldn’t if you tried, and you would be wasting time and confusing the matter, as well. Use your intuition instead. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re fast arriving at your next incarnation. Something in you wants to cling to the past. The uncertainty of “becoming” can be scary. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will enjoy the thrill of the hunt. As it goes with these things, the idea that you will persist toward your goal until the final pounce is far more important than the prize itself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know how to be happy, and yet you don’t always choose happiness for yourself. It’s a matter of deciding to interpret events as beneficial to you, whether or not they seem inherently positive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The comfort you now experience has a way of lulling you into a kind of sleepwalking state in which you walk around not noticing everything you could be noticing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are in an enviable position as you enjoy the life you have made for yourself. Not only do you have what you want, but you also embody the very rare condition of wanting what you have.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The so-called “higher authority” may not have the power or knowledge you believe he should have. Be careful not to project onto people qualities they do not actually possess. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because you accept your past and deal with the present doesn’t mean you want more of the same in the future. In fact, you’re starting to envision something entirely different. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You rise above the pettiness to which others stoop. You’ll keep the communication lines open because you recognize that it’s the smartest, most honorable and ultimately most effective thing to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Others share knowledge with you. However, it doesn’t always seem at first like the gift it really is. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by too much information. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Aspiring to images of beauty that are something other than what you look like is silly considering you will always be most attractive when you embrace your most authentic self. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 13). Your environment will change to fit the new direction your life is taking. Social fun in November and February is miraculously both luxurious and inexpensive. December brings a financial upturn. You’ll expand your influence in March. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 34, 20 and 13.
