Area state legislators present bills to help get relief, and get it faster. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

HARRISBURG – Responding to constituents who “risk falling through the cracks,” four area state legislators unveiled a package of bills they say would bring relief to thousands of families and businesses affected by recent flooding. “After listening to stories and hearing their concerns, we were compelled to act,” said state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-WilkesBarre. “Many of the flooding victims are not eligible for disaster relief and for those who are eligible, it is taking weeks for them to receive help.” BILL O’BOYLE/THE TIMES LEADER Pashinski was joined at a Capitol news conference by fellow Northeastern Pennsylvania State representatives Eddie Day Pashinski, Phyllis See FLOOD, Page 11A

L-L district to have 5 vacancies The school board takes personnel actions, including appointment of coaches. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

LEHMAN TWP. – The LakeLehman School Board approved several personnel changes at a meeting Monday evening. Five positions will be available within the district as a result of the resignation and dismissal of employees. The board approved the resignations of Mallory Griggs, secondary mathematics teacher, and Michelle Russo, elementary special education teacher, and James Spencer, head girls basketball coach. All three positions will be advertised. Barbara Lamoreaux, part-time custodian, was dismissed due to abandonment of employment. Esther Liuzzi, elementary health assistant, was also released of her duties, but Superintendent James McGovern said he could not reveal any more details. Both positions will be advertised. Other personnel changes included the approval of leaves of absence for Jennifer Loftus, Lehman-Jackson Elementary teacher, from Nov. 7 through Jan. 27, and for Corin Frey, Ross Elementary teacher, from Nov. 16 through March 16. Gina Major-Ackerman was approved as senior play advisor, and Brian Pipech was approved as mentor for Jeffrey Shook. The board also appointed the following coaches for the 2011-12 year: Erin Cooper as assistant swim coach for diving, Kevin Koziol as assistant girls volleyball coach and Adrienne Diffenbacher as volunteer assistant field hockey coach. In other business, McGovern announced that after the recent passing of Lake-Lehman High School alumnus and former football star Joe Lopasky, a historian from Lehighton named Jim Zbick paid a visit to the district to donate memorabilia from the football careers of Joe Lopasky and his brother, Bill Lopasky. McGovern said Joe Lopasky was a standout football player for Lake-Lehman during the 1950s and continued his career at the University of Houston in Texas. He said one of his greatest accomplishments was scoring four touchdowns during the 1962 Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Fla., against Miami University of Ohio, becoming the most valuable player of the game. Zbick offered the district a stadium seat from the Tangerine Bowl signed by Joe Lopasky, as well as a San Francisco 49ers football signed by Bill Lopasky, who played for the team from 1960 until 1962. McGovern said the items will be part of the district’s Knights of the Roundtable program, which supports alumni who have made contributions to the community.

Lehman Twp. moving on drainage Faced with a rate increase, the board agrees to change its insurance supplier.

By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

LEHMAN TWP. -- Resident Brian Dorn asked township supervisors on Monday night about stormwater drainage problems in the Oak Hill section. Dorn said he wanted to know if everything had been done to prevent more flood damage from the swale that lies behind the homes on Oak Drive. “Is the swale defined enough? Can it be upsized to allow more water?” he asked supervisors. Supervisor Doug Ide said the swale should be sufficient but

“The problem is not that Washington taxes too little, the problem is that we’re spending too much,” he said. Some in the audience asked Barletta if he would support President Barack Obama’s jobs bill, and Stephen Jones, of Monroe County, asked Barletta what jobcreating legislation he voted for. Referring to the jobs bill, Barletta said he would not support “another stimulus package.” He handed Jones a list of jobs bills that he voted for in the House but went unaddressed in the Senate. Hazleton resident Antonio Rodriguez asked Barletta why so many newcomers keep moving to the city if there aren’t any jobs there and the unemployment rate is the highest in the state. Barletta cited the education system, better quality of life, cheap housing and lower cost of living. A woman from Allentown who works in Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton asked Barletta what he’s doing about Social Security and Medicare and possibly raising the retirement age. Barletta said he supports a plan to save Medicare in which anyone who is now under age 55 would be allotted a government subsidy to buy a government-approved healthcare policy. “If there were another proposal, I’d be willing to look at it,” he said.

PITTSTON TWP. -- Chairman Supervisor Joseph “Murph” Adams on Monday night informed residents the single-lane bridge on Langans Road has a crack on it. He said it’s safe for regular vehicles to travel on, but he warned that heavier vehicles should avoid the bridge to prevent further damage to the bridge. Adams said he is bringing in engineer Mike Amato to look into this issue and repair it as needed. Adams also said that residents who put up portable basketball hoops on the streets should take them down or put them on their own property by Nov. 1. He said those who do not

that he knew it needed cleaning out. He said the township cannot clean out the swale because it lies completely on private property belonging to Aqua Pennsylvania, a Back Mountain water company. “This swale is a very convenient trash bin,” he said. He said that he knew people use it to dispose of clippings and leaves. After discussion, the supervisors decided that the next step would be to approach Aqua Pennsylvania for permission to clean out the swale to allow better drainage. “We have 55 miles of problems. We’re not caught up from the first storm,” Chairman Dave Sutton reminded Dorn. In another matter, Treasurer Alvin Cragle asked for a resolution allowing the township to Barletta said the president’s health care bill “took $500 billion out of Medicare.” Northeastern Pennsylvania Labor Union coordinator Roxanne Pauline challenged that statistic when she took the podium. Pauline said cuts to entitlements will only hurt Americans who are already suffering. A solution, Pauline said, is to, “at least for a while, tax wealthy people. … They’re holding the money back … for political purposes,” she said, “not to create jobs.” “I know personally a gentleman who went to the Chamber of Commerce in Scranton and wants to pay $19 an hour at a factory. The chamber … said, no, we don’t want to pay that kind of money here in Scranton because everybody’s going to run to these jobs and the other people are going to have to up their salary,” Pauline said. Some people in the audience began to get unruly as Barletta began to address Pauline’s comments. When Barletta said rolling back tax cuts on every American would only pay for 28 minutes of the ever-increasing national debt, one persistent heckler in the back row yelled, “It’s a lie. Show us. Show us.” Sometimes appearing frustrated, Barletta usually remained composed and tried to address questions shouted out of turn. Hazleton Police Chief Robert Ferdinand admonished some audience members who became persistent in their outbursts.

In another matter, supervisors are looking into the retention pond on Oak Street. Supervisor Steve Rinaldi said he is having Solicitor John Finnerty contact the owner of the retention pond and have it excavated to alleviate the flooding that occurs when it rains. Finnerty said he will contact the owner of the pond to take actions that will solve the flooding issues that the residents of Oak Street are putting up with as a result of the pond backing up. Rinaldi also said the four police officers who were recently hired will be able to start patrolling the township streets after their certifications are complete in the next few weeks.

contract for insurance through Benecon. He said that Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Northeast Pennsylvania was going to require a 38 percent increase in premiums due to large claims last year. By joining a consortium through Benecon, the township would retain the same coverage with Blue Cross/Blue Shield with only a 3 percent increase in 2012. Employees would keep the same benefits for health, life insurance and short- and longterm disability, and would receive improved dental coverage. Cragle estimated that the savings to the township would be $25,000 to $30,000 a year. The resolution to change the insurance contract passed unanimously. The supervisors passed two

separate resolutions assigning Ryan Doughton, township engineer, as agent to work with PEMA and FEMA on claims from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Supervisors also passed a resolution authorizing Doughton to prepare an ad for bids for a new salt shed with the bidding to be opened as soon as possible. The supervisors also approved the appointment of Marian DeAngelis as a part-time assistant secretary to aid Township Secretary Jon Rogers. In another matter, Scoutmaster Bob McGuire of Troop 241 received permission for the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to replace the Lehman Township sign. The supervisors agreed to a high school contest to create a new logo for the township.

BROWNSTOWN TWP., Mich. — A Detroit-area man had his 9year-old daughter drive him to the store because he had apparently been drinking, police said Monday, and surveillance video from a gas station shows him telling a clerk that his daughter was his “designated driver.” Brownstown Township Detective Lt.

She drove a couple miles before police pulled her over. The girl told police that her father had been drinking whiskey all night. She said he had allowed her to drive before. The father, who told officers he was teaching his daughter to drive, was arrested and refused a Breathalyzer test, Grant said. He was charged with second- and fourthdegree child abuse during an Oct. 10 arraignment. He was ordered to have no contact with his daughter.

ouster. The code, it was stated at the time by attorney Jack Dean, had been rescinded by a decision of the state Supreme Court in December 2003. When DiRico inquired again on Monday if Hudack had resigned, Melissa Weber, secretary/treasurer, produced a brief hand-written letter from Hudack, in which he outlined his intent to resign. Plodwick said there are at least three people who are interested in succeeding Hudack. She said a special meeting will probably have to be scheduled to select a successor. There was also discussion on the proposed sewer system which, at the recommendation of

the state Department of Environmental Protection, resulted in an amendment to Act 537, which stipulates a change in the engineering plan entailing the installation of a 6-inch line on Blytheburn Road. There was further comment that a pumping station will be situated on North End Road. During the public comment phase of the session, Maureen Kiner of Ridge Street protested that her property is being adversely affected by surface water runoff. She contended the problem is being caused by new construction in her neighborhood as well as a disregard for drains and piping that recently led to her basement being flooded and her land and gardens being inundated. Plodwick said she will ask Stephen Bieryla, zoning officer, to investigate the situation.

Eradicating poverty top goal, activist says Community organizer Willie Baptist brings his message to King’s College speech.

By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE -- “We are trying to make poverty illegal.” Activist and community organizer Willie Baptist’s statement summed up the overall ideal goal that he and his colleagues at the Poverty Initiative are trying to accomplish. Baptist was the guest lecturer Monday night for the Peace and Justice Center’s 14th Annual Barbara Sabol Memorial Lecture at King’s College’s Burke Auditorium. Baptist, who coauthored the

Homicide trial jurors are warned

recently released book “Pedagogy of the Poor” with Jan Rehman, spoke about his experiences in organizing people in the working and impoverished classes and how the eradication of poverty should be the uniting goal behind all social justice movements. One criticism of the recent Occupy protests in New York and elsewhere is the lack of a clear set of demands and stances from the demonstrators. Although Baptist did not offer to articulate the broad array of issues that are being addressed at the demonstrations, he said those involved in the movement are united by their anger about the growing gap between the wealthy and those who are being forced into poverty.

Baptist said that while that anger serves to loosely unify the demonstrators, the fight to end poverty could also be a uniting force because it is at the root of many economic problems such as joblessness, homelessness and student debt. He drew heavily from his experience as a national homeless organizer in illustrating the degree to which poverty has become a life-threatening struggle for many in America’s inner cities. He spoke of the time he came upon a homeless man who had frozen to death in the cold Chicago winter while many homes PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER in the city were vacant.

Juror used web for research during previous trial of Cherry in death of 1-year-old girl. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Jurors selected Monday in the Luzerne County retrial of Lamont Cherry were given a stern warning by the judge in an attempt to avoid another blunder. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley during her instructions warned the six men and six women picked to serve on the jury not to use social media websites or use Internet search engines to conduct their Cherry own inquiry about the case. “The only information you should hear about this case is from this witness chair,” Gartley said, referring to the witness stand in front of the jury box. Cherry, 37, is facing his second trial on charges he caused the death of1-year-old Zalayia McCloe in May 2009. He was acquitted by a jury in January of first-degree murder, which eliminated the death penalty, before Polachek Gartley declared a mistrial on other charges after a juror, Gretchen Black, admitted to using the Internet to conduct research about retinal detachment, an injury that may occur when an infant is violently shaken. Black’s misconduct was brought to Polachek Gartley’s attention by other jurors after the jury had reached a verdict acquitting Cherry of first-degree murder. Black was not charged with any wrongdoing. Assistant District Attorneys Michael T. Vough and Maureen K. Collins are hoping to convince the jury selected Monday to convict Cherry of third-degree murder, a first-degree felony, or involuntary manslaughter, a second-degree felony. A third-degree murder conviction carries a prison sentence of not more than 40 years, while an involuntary manslaughter conviction is not more than 10 years in prison. Attorneys William Ruzzo, Christopher O’Donnell and Michael Kostelaba are defending Cherry on the two charges. Wilkes-Barre police and county detectives allege Cherry caused fatal injuries to McCloe while he was babysitting her inside a Carlisle Street home on May 29, 2009. Cherry denied he caused the injuries to McCloe, stating he fed the girl and cleaned the house while her mother, Christa Smith, was out. Opening statements are expected to begin this morning.

Saturday and a reward is being offered to anyone who can return him alive. Hector is a Madagascar hissing cockroach that has been a part of the learning experience for children at the library for three years. He is popular during story time, when the children take turns holding him, and he has helped children learn about bugs, the values of nutrition (as he is a vegetable eater) and also the importance of being able to care for a pet. Hector is a gentle creature that doesn’t bite and likes to be held. He must be handled with care in this weather, as cold temperatures are not ideal for him. He must also not be put near water. The cockroach was purchased at a Pittston area pet shop three years ago, but since then library director Melissa Szafran said Monday they are difficult to find now.

Local employees and members of the media were taken to view the $26 million dam rehabilitation project by Pennsylvania American Water in Spring Brook Township.

Priority put on prevention By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

SPRING BROOK TWP. – Pennsylvania American Water is in the midst of a $26 million upgrade for its 110-year-old Nesbitt Dam that officials say will ensure it will continue to keep downstream communities and residents safe for at least another century. Crews from ASI Constructors of Boulder, Colo., which was hired to do the work that began earlier this year, are in the process of converting the masonry and earthen embankment dam to a dam that will be “armored” with roller compacted concrete, according to David Kaufman, Pennsylvania American’s vice president of engineering. “This will protect the dam during extreme flood events,” Kaufman said. He noted the current dam has not had any structural issues. During the heavy rainfalls this year that resulted in flood-

ing throughout the region, it held up without issue. But the dam upgrades were mandated by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection to have it meet current dam safety standards. Mike Sames, DEP’s senior civil engineer from the Wilkes-Barre office, said the main issue with the old dam was “spillway capacity.” If water rose too much, it would wash over an earthen embankment. Though it hasn’t caused any problems yet, Sames said the potential exists. “The intent of this project is to make structural improvements so that there’s no chance this dam will ever wash out or fail and cause significant damage or loss of life downstream,” Sames said. “We don’t generally like to see water go over earthen material. We prefer nonerodible material like concrete,” Sames added.

The work got under way in April and should wrap up by June, Kaufman said. The 101-foot-high-dam, which has a 538-foot-long spillway, holds water in the Nesbitt Reservoir, which is the drinking water supply for 75,000 customers in 17 municipalities – 15 in Luzerne County and two in Lackawanna County – including Pittston, Pittston Township, Kingston, Kingston Township, Luzerne, West Wyoming, Wyoming, Edwardsville and Exeter. Other municipalities served are Duryea, Avoca, Forty Fort, Hughestown, Moosic, Old Forge, Swoyersville and West Pittston. In addition to concrete, rock anchors will be installed to reinforce the existing masonry section of the dam. “The dam has served us well over 100 years,” Kaufman said. “We believe these improvements will provide that stability for the next 100 years.”

Poll: 50 percent of Americans favor legal marijuana By DEBORAH NETBURN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Slowly but surely Americans seem to be making peace with the pot pipe. According to a new poll released by Gallup on Monday, 50 percent of Americans say marijuana use should be legal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up from 46 percent last year. This year, 46 percent said it should be illegal. Those numbers mean that, for the first time in the pollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42-yearhistory, Americans who say that marijuana should be legal outnumber those who say it should

be illegal. Societal acceptance of marijuana has come a long way since 1969, when Gallup first posed the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should marijuana use be legal?â&#x20AC;? Back then, only 12 percent of Americans favored legalization of the drug. From the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s through the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, support remained in the 20s, but it has been climbing steadily since 2002. Some interesting facts, according to the most recent poll: â&#x20AC;˘ Men are more likely to support legalizing marijuana than women (55 percent vs 46 per-

The findings come less than six months after the federal government ruled that marijuana should remain classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which means the government considers it as dangerous as heroin.

Yemeni officials say 18 are killed in clashes

lashes between troops loyal to Yemen’s embattled president and his rivals on Monday left at least 18 people killed and 30 wounded in the capital Sanaa and the city of Taiz, according to medical, security and tribal officials. They said eight followers of a powerful tribal leader who defected to the opposition in March were killed in pre-dawn clashes with forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh in the northern sector of the capital. Four civilians caught in the crossfire and two pro-regime soldiers were also killed in the fighting, in which mortars, rockets and heavy machine-guns were used. The city was rocked by the sound of explosions for much of the night, until the fighting ceased at sunrise.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA

Libyan forces seize most of Bani Walid

Libyan revolutionary forces have captured almost all of Bani Walid, one of Moammar Gadhafi’s last remaining strongholds, but still face pockets of resistance as they try to end a weeks-long standoff, officials said Monday. Fierce resistance in Bani Walid and Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte has prevented Libya’s new leaders from declaring full victory and setting a timeline for elections. It has been more than two months since the former rebels gained control of the rest of the oil-rich North African nation. In a step toward normalcy, the transitional leadership council confirmed it has signed an agreement with NATO that partially lifts the no-fly zone imposed in March over the country, allowing resumption of some flights without seeking NATO approval.

By MARIA SUDEKUM FISHER Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Law enforcement officials launched a new round of searches for a missing Kansas City baby on Monday after her mother went on national television and admitted she was drunk when the girl disappeared but insisted she did nothing to harm the child. In a tearful interview on NBC’s “Today” show, Deborah Bradley said she believes she will be arrested in the disappearance

of Lisa Irwin, who was 10 months old when she was reported missing in the early hours of Oct. 4. Security video from a grocery store shows Bradley buying a box of wine and other goods, Irwin and leaving the store with a man the family later said was her brother. Bradley said she bought boxed wine and consumed “enough to be drunk” that night, but denied she did anything to hurt Lisa. “No, no ... I don’t think alcohol changes

a person enough to do something like that,” she said. Bradley also told Fox News in an interview aired Monday that she got drunk and may have blacked out. She said she frequently drinks to intoxication but only after her children are safely in bed. She also said she takes anxiety medication and had taken a dose that day. Asked how she would respond to others who would criticize her heavy drinking while caring for her children, Bradley became defiant. “She was sleeping. You know, I don’t see the problem in me having my grownup time,” she said. “I take good care of my

kids. I keep my house clean, do their laundry. I kiss their boo-boos. I fix them food. I’m involved in their school stuff. I mean, to me, there’s nothing wrong doing what I want to do after dark.” Not long after the interviews aired, local and federal authorities began fresh searches for the girl, including bringing tracking dogs into the family’s home and draining a nearby creek. FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said agents brought the dogs into the house after Lisa’s parents, Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, consented to the search. Dogs were also used to search a next-door neighbors’ house.

Prisoner swap moves ahead between Israel and Hamas The deal proceeds despite criticism and court appeals against the release. By MATTI FRIEDMAN Associated Press

JERUSALEM — The elaborate machinery of a prisoner swap deal between two bitter enemies swung into motion Monday, as hundreds of Palestinians and one Israeli soldier prepared to return home in one of the most dramatic recent developments in the otherwise deadlocked Israel-Palestinian conflict. The Israel-Hamas deal, to take place this morning is going ahead despite criticism and court appeals in Israel against the release of 1,027 Palestinians for a single captured Armored

Corps sergeant, Gilad Schalit, held by militants in Gaza since 2006. The exchange, negotiated through mediators because Israel and Hamas will not talk directly to each other, involves a delicate series of staged releases, each one triggering the next. When it is over, Schalit — 19 years old at the time of his capture, and 25 now — will be free, ending what for Israel has been a prolonged and painful saga. Israel was forced to acknowledge that it had no way of rescuing Schalit in a military operation, though the soldier was held no more than a few miles from its border. Instead, Israel agreed to a lopsided prisoner exchange that Hamas officials have openly said will encourage them to capture more soldiers, and which will free Palestinians convicted of

taken place a number of times since the 1980s. The last one, in 2008, saw the release of five militants in return for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers held by the Lebanese group Hezbollah. In a deal with Hezbollah in 2004, Israel freed about 400 prisoners in return for a former army colonel and the bodies of three soldiers. When today’s exchange is complete, 477 Palestinians held in Israeli jails will have been released, several of them after decades behind bars. Another 550 are set to be released in two months.

The Army ofTwo

Written by Betty Miles • Illustrated by Joan Sandin Father was the lighthouse keeper, and their home was at the base of the lighthouse. At the end of each day, Father climbed up the steep steps to the lamp room at the top. He lit the lamp that helped the fishermen of Scituate keep their boats away from the rocky cliffs near the lighthouse and sail safely into Scituate Harbor. Abby loved to go to the lamp room with Father. Sometimes, after he lit the lamp, he played songs on the fife he kept near it. He was teaching Abby to play “Yankee Doodle,” but she was not very good at it yet. Father kept a spyglass in the lamp room, too. Abby liked to stand by the window with the spyglass and look out at the woods and cliffs and marshes nearby, or at the endless waves of the Atlantic Ocean, which seemed to go on and on, as far as the sky. The ocean could be wild and dangerous. And in this year of 1814, war made the ocean more dangerous. British warships sometimes sailed near towns and sent sailors to shore in small boats to take food and tools from farms and homes. The ships had guns that could fire at the shore. Abby knew that a British ship could come near at any time. A ship could come today! She stood close to her sister and tried to look for Father, but he was already out of sight. Now she and Becky were alone. “Oh, Becky,” Abby said, I am—” She stopped. She did not like to say it out loud. But she was afraid.

[This is a true story. It happened many years ago, near the town of Scituate, Massachusetts. Those are hard names to read! You won’t have to read “Massachusetts” again in this story. But if you see that state on a map of the United States look for the town of Scituate. It’s on the Atlantic coast south of Boston and north of Cape Cod. This is how you say it: SIT-chew-it.]

CHAPTER ONE Alone at the Lighthouse

t was a fine, sunny day. Abby and her sister Becky were sitting on the high round rocks near the lighthouse when their father came out of the door. “They have put up a flag at Scituate Harbor,” Father said. “Maybe there is news of the war. I must go to find out.” News of the war! Abby knew that British ships were fighting with American ships, far out on the ocean. She did not want the fighting to come closer. In the first year of the war, two British ships had sailed into Scituate Harbor at night, burned ten fishing boats and sailed away! Then American soldiers had been sent to guard the harbor. The British had not come back while the soldiers were there. But now the American soldiers had gone to guard another town. Did the British know that they had gone? Would a British ship come here again? Abby did not like to ask. She put her hand to her eyes and looked out over the water. The ocean was bright under the blue sky. Not a ship was in sight. “Will the British come to Scituate again?” Becky asked. Father said, “They surely would not sail into Scituate Harbor in daylight. But I will see if there is news of them in town.” “May we come with you?” Abby asked. It was a long walk to Scituate, over the big rocks and across the marsh. But she did not like to stay here without Father. “Not today,” Father said. “I must go

(To be continued Thursday, Oct. 20) quickly, and I can walk faster alone.” He took Abby’s hand, and Becky’s. “If the British should come back,” he said, “they might sail close to the lighthouse, where they could hide behind the cliffs and not be seen by the people in town,” he said. “If a ship with guns comes this way,” he added, “you must go inside and bolt the door.” “We will, Father,” Becky said, in her strong way. “We will be ﬁne.” Becky was 15.

Abby, who was 10, was not so sure. Mother was away this week, visiting family. Their little brother was with her. Their big brother had gone off with the Army a year ago. Abby did not want Father to go away, too! What if a British ship came near when she and Becky were alone? “Be careful, Father,” she said. “Come back soon!” “If you will make a good supper, I will be home in time to eat it,” Father said as he started off to town.

Scranton teen gets life for ’09 slaying The Associated Press

SCRANTON — A teenager has been sentenced to life in prison plus 351⁄2 to 71 years in the execution-style killing of a man more than two years ago. Lackawanna County Judge Carmen Minora imposed the sentence Monday on 19-year-old Christian Kenyon of Scranton in the July 2009 shooting death of 29-year-old Allen Fernandez. Prosecutors said Kenyon, then 17 years old, and two other men killed the victim in a gang-related dispute. Kenyon testified that he fired after one of the other men threatened him with a gun. He told the victim’s son in court Monday that he fired only after Fernandez was already dead.

LEARNING FIRE SAFETY

By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In an about face, Sen. Rand Paul, one of Congress’ most ardent foes of government regulation, has dropped his “hold” on a bill to toughen federal safety regulation of oil and gas pipelines, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Republican said Monday. Paul agreed to drop his opposition to the measure after winning agreement from its sponsors to add an amendment to the bill to close a gap in regulations that allows older pipelines to escape safety testing requirements, Moira Bagley,

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

Prosecutors make change in charges against lawyer Powell Times Leader staff

Federal prosecutors on Monday filed a court document that makes a technical legal change to charges filed against attorney Robert Powell relating to his role in the “kids-for-cash” scandal. U.S. Attorney Peter Smith amended the charges against Powell to reflect a change in the law that went into effect last year regarding the interpretation of the honest services fraud statute. Powell pleaded guilty in July 2009 to misprision of a felony for helping to conceal the source of payments that were made to Luzerne County judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan. Prosecutors contend Powell and developer Robert Mericle paid the two judges millions in exchange for actions they took that benefited two private juvenile detention facilities co-owned by Powell and built by Mericle. Powell admitted he helped conceal the source of those payments by falsely portraying them as rental fees on a condominium. In court papers filed Monday, Smith said the charge against Po-

COURT BRIEF WILKES-BARRE – A Kingston Township man was sentenced Monday in Luzerne County Court on charges he endangered a teen girl by allowing her to stay inside a residence unfit for human habitation. Senior Judge Joseph Augello sentenced Michael View, 35, to six to 23 months in the county prison on charges of child endangerment and criminal conspiracy. View was given credit for eight weeks time served at the correctional facility.

well needed to be altered based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of United States v. Jeffrey Skilling. In that case, the court said the charge of honest services fraud relates only to public officials who deprived the public of their honest services by accepting a bribe or a kickback. Smith’s motion notes the original information against Powell “referred to the fraud as involving the concealment of payments, making no reference either to bribes or kickbacks,” and that the amended information alleges “honest services wire fraud relating to bribery and extortion.” The motion notes Powell and his attorney have reviewed the proposed change and will acknowledge it at his sentencing, set for Nov. 4 in Scranton. Ciavarella was convicted in February of 12 charges related to the juvenile scandal and was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison. He is appealing his conviction. Conahan pleaded guilty to a charge of racketeering conspiracy and was sentenced on Sept. 23 to 17½ years in prison.

Township police charged View and Dorothy Breen, 80, in May 2010, after finding a teen girl residing in their trailer that was found in deplorable conditions, according to the criminal complaints. A township code enforcement officer condemned the residence as dangerous and unsafe, and unfit for human habitation. The house was vacated and the child was placed in the care of Children and Youth services. Breen was sentenced in July to 36 months probation on child endangerment and criminal conspiracy charges, according to court records.

Senator drops opposition to pipeline safety bill Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is a well-known opponent of new federal regulations.

ilkes-Barre firefighters Rob Smith and Stan Shinko help Sandra Vasquez, Pete Lubinski and Chase Albritton, all Dodson Elementary School third-graders, out of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department Fire Safety Trailer as it filled with simulated smoke in a safety demonstration Friday.

Paul’s spokeswoman, said. Paul has been the lone senator blocking consideration of the bill. Paul, a tea party ally and antitax activist, was elected to the Senate last year in part on the strength of his opposition to new federal regulations. Oil and gas pipeline industry officials and congressional aides told The Associated Press last month that Paul and his staff had explained privately that he was blocking efforts to pass the bill using unanimous consent procedures that avoid a lengthy debate because he is opposed in principle to its expansion of federal regulation. Paul and his staff had told them he had no specific objections related to pipeline safety, but he felt that at a minimum

an expansion of federal regulations should receive a thorough debate by the entire Senate, industry officials and congressional aides said. But as a practical matter, important but lesser measures like pipeline safety regulations that can’t be approved quickly wind up languishing indefinitely because Senate leaders must conserve valuable debate time for other must-pass bills. After his opposition to the measure was publicized, Paul issued a statement saying he wasn’t satisfied with the safety provisions of the bill. His latest statement also said he was dissatisfied that the bill was written before the National Transportation Safety Board had published its report on a natural gas pipeline rupture near San Francisco last year that

killed eight people, injured dozens more and damaged or destroyed more than 100 homes. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee approved the bill in May without opposition. It would authorize more federal safety inspectors, and pipeline companies would have to confirm that their records on how much pressure their pipelines can tolerate are accurate. Under the bill, federal regulators could order that automatic shutoff valves be installed on new pipelines so leaks can be halted sooner. And it directs regulators to determine whether mandatory inspections of aging pipelines in densely populated areas should be expanded to include lines in rural areas. It would be paid for by industry fees.

Ellen Mary Miller

David V. Randall

October 15, 2011

Mary Mundy Miller went E llen home to be with her Lord, Sat-

urday, October 15, 2011. A hymn that we sing has these words, “This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long”. Ellen is doing just that now, praising her Savior in heaven with her beautiful soprano voice. She was born, May 28, 1949, daughter of the late Mark and Stella Krystofolsky Mundy. Ellen graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School, class of 1967. She had been employed for 37 years by the Plymouth National Bank, which later became PNC Bank. She had attended the Pilgrim Congregational Church. Ellen lived her live life showing her hope to others and lived by the principal, “When God says it, she believed it.” The journey of many people’s lives was made easier with Ellen’s kindness and thoughtfulness shown to them when they were in need. While she traveled her pathway of life, Ellen spread cheerfulness and love to others she met. Her quiet, loving deeds in helping others will long be remembered. She truly was a testimony for the Lord. She will be fondly remembered by her family and friends. She endured her illness of Lou Gehrig’s Disease with her special sweetness, a sense of humor and just knowing God had a strong hold on her, despite the disease. Ellen was an avid reader and enjoyed sharing her book adventures with others. Her life was centered around her family and Lord. Playing and reading with her granddaughters was a highlight in her life. She always looked forward to hugging and kissing them and showering them with gifts and treats. She and her husband, her high school sweetheart, Fred Miller, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on April 23rd. In addition to her husband she is survived by her a loving daughter, Shannon, and her boyfriend, Bill

Our family cannot express in words how grateful we are for Ellen’s special, loving care given to her by Dr. Kevin Carey and the staff of the Meadows Nursing Care Center in Dallas and the Sacred Heart Hospice Care of Scranton. To see them giving Ellen gentle care, always with her comfort in mind will long have an impact upon our family. Because of her illness, friendships were formed at this fine facility. We are sure on her lips she is singing that great hymn of faith, “Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee, How great thou, how great thou art.” Sing on, dear Ellen, sing on! We can just hear her singing those high soprano notes. There will be no calling hours or services. Memorial donations may be made to the Plymouth Public Library, 107 W.

In 1952, he ran for Pennsylvania House of Representatives with the campaign motto “I am less interested in the problems of the rich man entering heaven, and more interested in the problems of the poor man here on earth.” Though his campaign was unsuccessful, it lead to his appointment as Executive Secretary to Governor George Leader.

Following law school, Dave joined Ballard, Spahr, Andrews and Ingersoll, where he rose to partner specializing in tax law. During his career at the Ballard firm, he was active in various Philadelphia civic organizations. Among these, he served on the tax advisory board of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, vice president of the West Mount Airy Neighbors, the Citizens Committee on Public Education, and chairman of the Committee of Seventy. In 1972, Randall became the first University Counsel for Temple University, and later head of Government Affairs, from which he retired in 1995. While serving as counsel, he also taught a law school course on state and local taxes. Randall pursued many interests, including writing, self-publishing a series of mystery novels, a two-volume genealogy of the Randall family, a travelogue describing a salmon

In Loving Memory Of

Claire Dunleavy 9/1/28 to 10/18/10

Safely Home I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus’ love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus’ arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth’s shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth You shall rest in Jesus’ land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! Always In Our Hearts. Kathleen, Debbie, Donna, George, Patrick and Michael

Officer’s request for noisy funeral procession honored NEW KENSINGTON — A western Pennsylvania police officer who was shot to death last week once told a fellow officer he didn’t want a silent funeral procession — he wanted the emergency vehicles in it to have their lights flashing and sirens blaring. On Monday, scores of emergency vehicles, including police cars, ambulances and SWAT vehicles, led a noisy six-mile procession to the cemetery in honor of Lower Burrell police officer Derek Kotecki, who was killed by a fugitive gunman outside a Dairy Queen on Oct. 12. Kotecki’s funeral at the stately, marbled-lined Mount St. Peter Church was attended by Gov. Tom Corbett, other lawmakers and hundreds of uniformed officers throughout the close-knit

about 20 miles from Pittsburgh, upriver on the eastern shore of the Allegheny. The manhunt that ended with Kotecki’s death managed to pull the two cities together, in part because the events leading up to the killing began 10 days earlier in New Kensington. That’s when authorities said Charles Post, 33, a heroin addict with a history of mental illness, shot at a contractor’s truck during a dispute with his boss in a motel parking lot on Oct. 2. Post was charged in absentia with attempted homicide and other crimes, though no one was injured. In sporadic cell phone conversations as he eluded police over the next few days, Post threatened the lives of officers in both cities, authorities said — though they didn’t reveal that until after Kotecki’s shooting. Kotecki, 40, was among the first to arrive when police were told they would find Post at a

Post stepped out of the passenDairy Queen on Route 366 in Lower Burrell, just a few hundred ger seat of a Jeep and opened fire yards from the New Kensington on Kotecki, killing him almost instantly, Westmoreland County line.

District Attorney John Peck said. Officer Thomas Babinsack, one of five people to eulogize Kotecki, said they had talked about the aftermath of such a situation while driving to a memorial service in April 2009 for three Pittsburgh officers gunned down in a SWAT siege. They discussed whether it was respectful to use their flashing lights and sirens in a funeral procession, and Babinsack said he’s since learned the protocol is to use lights but no sirens — which police vehicles observed on their way to Kotecki’s funeral. But Babinsack said Kotecki wanted something else. “Tom, I want you to promise me something: If something ever happens to me, I want everybody to know I was here,” Babinsack remembered Kotecki saying. “I want the fire trucks and police and ambulances going with lights on and sirens.”

It was the family, the friends and the community,” said U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, a Democrat who grew up in Lower Burrell and now lives in Pittsburgh’s North Hills suburbs in a neighboring congressional district. “It’s my hometown. It’s a tough day for everybody,” he said after choking up at the two-hour funeral Mass. “We’ve never had anything (happen) like this. To see the community come together was amazing.” Many residents who live near the church or along the funeral route came out well before the first police motorcycles arrived at the church and were still lining the sidewalks or sitting in their yards when the hearse pulled away more than three hours later.

legislators Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, and Mike Carroll, DAvoca. They announced a four-bill package that they say would make disaster assistance available to individuals, businesses and other organizations if enacted by the Legislature. Mundy said damage caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee made communities aware that a 100-year flood could happen at any time. “We need a rapid response,” Mundy said. “This legislation would throw a lifeline to people who need assistance quickly. We as a commonwealth should do everything we can to assist them.” Mullery said his district has been affected by three natural disasters since July 3. He said he has had to tell constituents there is not much they can expect in help from the state. “That is why this package of bills is so critical to the lives and employment of thousands of people,” he said. What’s in legislation • Pashinski’s bill would direct the state’s surplus into a new Flood Damage Minimization Fund. It would provide low-interest loans to businesses for disaster assistance and individuals not eligible for PEMA or FEMA assistance. A loan of up to $40,000 could be used only to move furnaces, hot water heaters, washers, dryers and electrical panels to a higher level than is likely to be flooded in the future. The fund would offer a second loan of up to $80,000 to restore a home or business to pre-disaster conditions. Both loans would have a 1.5 percent interest rate. • The second bill, sponsored by Mundy, would help individuals and families with approved FEMA or PEMA applications but who are still waiting for the assistance. This legislation would allow victims to get an interest-free loan for 60 days and pay only 1 percent interest afterwards, she said.

State Rep. Phyllis Mundy D-Kingston

• Carroll is sponsoring the third bill, which would appropriate a portion of the state surplus to provide additional funding for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. • The fourth bill, sponsored by Mullery, would amend the state Constitution to allow the Legislature to enact laws that would provide special aid to individuals, businesses and nonprofits after the U.S. president had declared a disaster or emergency. Pashinski said the amount of money needed from the surplus fund, estimated to be around $500 million, would have to be negotiated with Gov. Tom Corbett.

nance. However, the authority and future county council members who take office in January will ultimately decide the building’s use. Five train cars, a caboose and a dining car also are on the site, some attached to the station structure. The sale of the cars could generate money for the project, officials said. The county’s community development loan fund provides low-interest loans to area businesses. The allocation for the train station wouldn’t have to be repaid. About $9 million will remain in the loan fund after the earmark, officials said. Commissioners disclosed the allocation during Monday’s work session, and they

are set to vote on the funding Thursday. Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla said she is willing to provide the funding as long as she is assured that it will get the building back into operation. “I need to see a solid plan and a solid timeline,” Petrilla said. Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said the building was purchased with the intent of consolidating county offices in leased space to restore a “beautiful, historic structure.” Visitors to the area often express interest in the train station building, but they are unable to go inside. “This funding will take a dilapidated structure that’s really a piece of history and convert it into an office space and destination,” he said. Quad Three Group, WilkesBarre, has been handling the design, and the company will work with the county engi-

neer’s office to bid the construction, Reilly said. Commissioners also plan to vote Thursday to give the redevelopment authority another decade to repay $3.4 million in loans for the past purchase of 56 miles of railroad and associated property. The county loaned the money in 2001 because the potential loss of track jeopardized businesses that provide tens of millions of dollars in salaries for thousands of employees. The authority is trying to sell unneeded property to repay the county, said Reilly. In other business, commissioners said they plan to approve a $350,000 community development loan to Agolino’s Restaurant in West Pittston. The loan will help finance a $700,000 project to renovate the property, which was heavily damaged by recent flooding.

Hanging billboard will be taken down The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Some black residents of a Pittsburgh community say a Halloween billboard that features a hanging figure is offensive. Station WPXI reports the owners say that was never the intent, but they’ll have it taken down anyway. The billboard is an advertisement for the Haunted Hayloft, a seasonal attraction in Somerset, about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Residents of the Pittsburgh neighborhood say the hanging figure is too prominent. The Haunted Hayloft website says the local story behind the billboard image is that two men were hanged in the 1800s for a murder.

OUR OPINION: CITIZEN INPUT

Lend your talent to a county group

F YOU HAVE untapped skills and knowledge in a subject such as agriculture or aviation, elder issues or higher education, even tourist promotion, apply today to serve on one of Luzerne County’s 30 authorities, boards and commissions. “New blood” is being recruited to fill current and future vacancies on these important groups. Collectively known as the ABCs, these groups help to guide county government, provide services to residents and improve this area’s social and economic outlooks. One group, for instance, explores diversity issues. Another oversees activities at the Luzerne County Convention Center. The work is typically unheralded and often unglamorous. In the best situations, the unpaid participants put aside any grandstanding and simply get to work, lending their expertise for the greater good. Through the decades, hundreds of county residents have served diligently and honorably. Unfortunately, at times, the posts have been abused or used

A P P LY T O A N A B C Visit www.luzernecounty.org and click on “Home Rule Transition.” Then scroll down the page and select this link: “Application for Citizens Interested in Serving on Luzerne County Authorities, Boards and Commissions.”

merely to pad a résumé. And in some instances, appointees seemingly have been picked only for political reasons (as a “reward” for supporting a candidate) rather than for any real aptitude. As Luzerne County prepares to switch to a home rule-style government in January 2012, proponents of the transition hope to inspire confidence in the new system and rally citizen participation. The home rule charter, they emphasize, requires Luzerne County to advertise all ABCs vacancies, something that is not mandated now. If you have the qualifications and the time to serve on an authority, board or commission, don’t stand on the sidelines. Join the effort to make Luzerne County an even more enjoyable – and an equitable – place to live.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “If U.S. officials have some delusions, (they must) know that any unsuitable act, whether political or security, will meet a resolute response from the Iranian nation.” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Iran’s supreme leader warned on state TV that any measures taken by the United States against Tehran over an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington would elicit a “resolute” response.

OTHER OPINION: U.S. ECONOMY

Political posturing has killed jobs bill

T MIGHT BE overly optimistic to expect Republicans and Democrats to agree to individually pass some key elements of President Obama’s defeated jobs legislation. But to accept the alternative perspective, that there’s no way this Democrat running for reelection is ever going to get Republican support, would be demoralizing. The public is desperate for bipartisanship – on anything. Was it a dream, or wasn’t there a time in America when lawmakers who considered themselves statesmen could be counted on to put politics aside to vote in the public’s best interest? If the jobs bill had flaws, there was no serious negotiation to fix them. Instead, Democrats accused Republicans of not wanting the economy to improve because that would help Obama, while Republicans accused Democrats of wanting Republicans to kill the jobs bill so they could be blamed for high unemployment rates. Among the bill’s ideas that deserve reconsideration:

• Workers’ take-home pay would be boosted by cutting the Social Security wage tax to 3.1 percent. • Business taxes would be cut in half on payrolls up to $5 million. • Payroll taxes would be eliminated for new workers or increases in current workers’ pay. • Companies could receive a $4,000 tax credit for hiring a long-term unemployed worker. • A $50 billion investment would be made to modernize highways, transit, rail and aviation. • A $35 billion allocation would prevent the layoffs of 280,000 teachers nationwide. • An additional $25 billion would modernize classrooms. • There was $15 billion to rehabilitate and refurbish vacant properties and foreclosed homes. • The bill also would provide job training, update the unemployment insurance system and extend jobless benefits. People need jobs, preferably without the politics. The Philadelphia Inquirer

Committee sponsoring home rule info meeting

SEND US YOUR OPINION

am writing to inform readers of an informational meeting that the Home Rule Transition Committee will hold from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday on the third floor of the Sheehy-Farmer building, King’s College, in Wilkes-Barre. County employees, candidates for county council and the public at large are encouraged to attend. The following will be presented: 1) a primer on Luzerne County’s home rule charter, 2) issues that the transition committee has been addressing and 3) a question-and-answer period. One only has to read the newspaper or speak with friends to know that there is much trepidation regarding the transition. In order to clarify any misrepresentations or misinformation, we wish to address any issues of concern. All residents of Luzerne County share a common interest in the success of our government. I encourage attendance, as this is an opportunity to know our charter more intimately, to understand the steps taken by the Home Rule Transition Committee and the reasons for such action. Rob Bakewell Vice chairman Luzerne County Home Rule Transition Committee

Writer discourages vote for four council hopefuls

hen going over the list of candidates for our new Luzerne County Council on the ballot this November, voters should be on the lookout for at least four red flags. The red flags should be next to the names of Jane Walsh-Waitkus, Linda McClosky Houck, Theresa Morcavage and Salvatore Licata. These four are the remnants of a team of 11 seemingly put together by county employee unions to try to highjack our county government by monopolizing control of county council. Fortunately, voters had the good sense to reject seven members of that group in the primary. In November, voters should do the same to these remaining four. Government union panderers have no business controlling how our tax dollars are spent. Government employee unions already have more than enough advocates and sympathizers in positions of power at all levels of government. Those people elected for county council should be advocates for taxpayers, period. Only a fox thinks it’s a good idea to put a fox in charge of a courthouse, and the four foxes in the so-called “Working Families for Luzerne County” bunch must be given

sound tax structure, yes, fiscal integrity and a viable budget. Character, credibility and good choices are absolutes for political authority for responsible government and better community. Remember these: pride, passion, purpose. Pride for the community in which I live, meaning Luzerne County. Passion for fostering and promoting humanitarian efforts and programs. Purpose: to extend and expand my commitment to economic development, job creation and tax equity. God bless you. Elect Charlie “Bible Buck” Hatchko to Luzerne County Council.

Council candidate promotes integrity in government Red Barons moniker rinciples over politics is the theme of should return to area my political campaign.

Deceit, deception, falsehood and hypocrisy bring forth crime and corruption. The Bible and the Lord condemn deception. Christ exhorts, “Do not be deceived.” Crime and corruption in Luzerne County must be eliminated for good government. Nepotism, cronyism and political favoritism must be eliminated. Adherence toward Biblical principles would bring forth truth, probity and integrity, which brings forth transparency, good character and fiscal integrity. Political authority must be guided by the moral law and reflect good morals, ethics and values. My goal will be a strong commitment toward a responsible government and dedication to a better community. I won’t be asking, where are we right now? But, rather, where are we heading? I believe a Luzerne County Council can make great strides toward the betterment of the county. If elected, my decisions will be based on the betterment of life and community enhancement, and look to the right way of using financial resources to promote humanitarian efforts, strong and honest community development and more effective public services. The highest use of government capital is not to make more money, but to make the money do more for life values through honest and efficient community development programs and improved social services. I will not merely envision a better community; I will diligently work to help design and create it. Let me ask the voters to please give me this opportunity. I pledge to be sensitive to the needs, wants and concerns of the taxpayers, because understanding human needs is half the job of meeting them. We need a capable administration,

was elated to read in The Times Leader that the New York Yankees are recommending that all of its minor league affiliates using the “Yankees” moniker should change their names. I hope the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees comply with this request. I was very disheartened when I discovered in 2007 that the name of our beloved “Red Barons” was going to be changed to the “Yankees.” Red Barons baseball was a major influence on fueling the flame for my deep passion for the American pastime. I have a great number of fond memories at PNC Field (Lackawanna County Stadium), watching the Red Barons over the years with my family and friends. When I heard the name was being scrapped, I was perturbed. The Red Barons was more than a name. It represented the people of our region, past and present, and it was something that was ours and ours alone. As you probably know, the name originated by combining the region’s rich baseball past: the Scranton Red Sox and the Wilkes-Barre Barons. This was used as the foundation of minor league baseball when our area was chartered a franchise in 1989. I found it hard to believe in 2007 that the team decided to do away with a name that the people of the Wyoming Valley had come to identify with and love. I am pleased that the New York Yankees finally have come to the realization that the “Yankees” name is not something that should become trite and overused; it is part of the pride and culture of the people of New York. Let the “Red Barons” come back home and do the same for the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania again. Michael Walsh Scranton

and he questioned whether this person will be someone chosen by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;majority party.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to have independence because we want to prevent any party majority from interfering with the county manager.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Edward Brominski, 71, Swoyersville, a former teacher and county commissioner, said all party politics must be removed from interactions with the county manager, and he would expose job applicants who attempt to use council members as references. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe we should allow people on council to be going around to various offices or micromanaging.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Jane Walsh-Waitkus, 61, Dorrance Township, an English and American studies professor at Penn State Hazleton, said the county must carefully select a manager who is not political and then support that person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me the answer is very, very simple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find a county manager who will act independently.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Charles "Bible Buck" Hatchko, 66, of Jenkins Township, a retired county employee, said the county manager must be qualified and willing to speak out against corruption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not allow any kind of shenanigans. We need a county manager who will act just and upright.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Jim Bobeck, 31, Kingston, a member of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Rule Transition Committee and attorney, said the new home rule charter prohibits council from interfering in day-to-day county operations, and the new proposed ethics code he has helped draft would impose penalties and protect whistleblowers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is the answer. You need an enforcement mechanism.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Salvatore Licata, 60, Pittston, a former Pittston Area teacher and head football coach, said county council members canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t micromanage the manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can rest assured that I will enforce the roles and responsibil-

ities of the charter and make sure no one interferes with the job of our new county manager.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ John Ruckno, 62, Dallas, a retired trust officer and investment professional and former business owner, said the council must hire a manager who is independent, professional, competent and professional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the true answer lies in the selection of the county manager.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Tim McGinley, 64, Kingston, director of administration for the Commission on Economic Opportunity, said the council must select an independent, strongwilled manager, and council must follow the charter restrictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to build trust and confidence between the county manager and the council members.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Rick Morelli, 39, Sugarloaf Township, who works for a biopharmaceutical company, said the council will have to officially approve an ethics code that contains penalties for council members who exceed their authority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is to ask questions and to hold people accountable, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the jobs of council -- to hold people accountable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Linda McClosky Houck, 53, Kingston, Wyoming Valley West School District teacher, said school board members also have a code of conduct requiring them to stay out of day-to-day operations, and local districts are trying to enforce that. She wants employees to be free to share concerns without fear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The workers who are actually doing the jobs in a workplace see the problems, and they see the problems before anyone else does.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ William Bill James, 66, Exeter Township, a race horse trainer and retired businessman, said he wants to make sure the county manager performs as expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not interfere with day-today operations, but I will take my concerns and the concerns of citizens of Luzerne County to the county manager or to my fellow council members.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Joyce Dombroski-Gebhardt, Kingston, who has worked as a secretary and stenographer, said council members should be there to help the county manager, though it will take her time to

trust the manager and fellow council members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be watching, though, and people who know me my whole life know I am the first one who will come forward when there is something being done wrong.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Harry Haas, 35, WilkesBarre, a history teacher at Dallas Middle School, said councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to find the most capable, professional manager and let that person perform the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job as county council is to really cast the vision. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be visionaries, and my vision is letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shrink this debt.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Elaine Maddon Curry, 63, Butler Township, a library services supervisor for the Greater Hazleton Health Alliance, said she

worries council members will contact the manager and make requests without the knowledge of others on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not aware of, so we need a manager who has courage, who has integrity, who has independence and says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your job,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; when a council member calls them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Blythe Evans III, 37, Plymouth, who owns two businesses in Plymouth, said the county needs honesty, forward thinking, competency, inspiration and intelligence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it all comes down to the manager and what qualities do we need to look for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just in terms of the county manager but in terms of the candidates, too.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;˘ M. Theresa Morcavage, 62, Plymouth, a retired county employee, said she will support an ethics code with teeth and will not interfere with the manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not afraid to speak out if I see something that is going wrong or something that should not be done. I will be your eyes and ears and voice in the county.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Rick Williams, 63, Kingston, an architect, said the manager must have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong backboneâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;gutsâ&#x20AC;? in addition to vision, experience and the ability to communicate well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have a strong, gutsy manager who makes tough decisions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to support them, and if we find thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working out, seven of 11 can fire that person. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it is.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;˘ Kathleen Dobash, 51, Hazleton, a part-time therapeutic staff support worker and artist, said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to rush the selection of the manager and wants a council chairperson who will be trustworthy and share information with all council members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will file a right-to-know request each and every time I suspect I am not receiving adequate information.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Tim Mullen, 52, Kingston Township, a registered nurse, compared the situation to his experience in the military, where the council is like an officer giving orders and the manager is like a sergeant carrying them out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best officers probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t micromanage, but the good officer is always going to check on the progress of his sergeants.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Michael Lacey, 52, Franklin Township, owner of a pharmacy in Freeland for 17 years, illustrated the point with his business, saying he and other small-business owners must deal with waste and make decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that decision is made everybody supports each other in that decision, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I will act.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Stephen A. Urban, 58, Wilkes-Barre, a Luzerne County commissioner since 2000, noted that Wilkes-Barre City Council â&#x20AC;&#x153;said nothingâ&#x20AC;? when Mayor Tom Leighton hired his children and obtained a city-funded security system at his home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council has an obligation to make sure those things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, and if they do happen, they have an obligation to call him to task at the council meetings and to put him in his place or her in her place and to prevent that from occurring again.â&#x20AC;?

tutes the homeless in America. There are many able and educated individuals who cannot afford housing because they cannot find jobs, he said. Margarita Rose, a Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College professor of economics, elaborated on this issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The homeless people you see might look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the fringe, but if you go to a place such as Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find there is much more to the picture,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. She then reiterated Baptistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point that joblessness is forcing people who have never known struggle into extreme poverty. Chris Simkonis, a formerly homeless 21-year-old Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College freshman, commented on the role of youth in the movement to end poverty.

He said he believes tech-savvy youths could utilize modern forms of communication to organize individuals with similar concerns who might not otherwise ever be able to touch base with one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that we can take the movement from his (Baptistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) generation into our hands and try to get everyone involved,â&#x20AC;? Simkonis said.

I got through the line easily and got my hands up.” “We didn’t have a punt block on,” Crestwood coach Greg Myers said. “When he (Morgante) gets going, he’s tough to stop.” Ruckle covered the ball at the Dallas 38, and quarterback Nick Aigeldeinger led the offense onto the field.

HANOVER TWP. – No Wyoming Valley Conference football games were held Monday night. But when Hanover Area hosted Berwick in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division III boys soccer showdown, the teams put out their best effort for a football atmosphere. The teams gathered at Hanover Area’s football stadium, Gayewski Memorial and played under the HANOVER lights. Those weren’t the only simiAREA larities to the Hawkeyes’ football game played Friday night as the school’s cheerleaders were on hand, the players ran through a poster beBERWICK fore the match, and the Bulldogs had to deal with a raucous Hawkeyes crowd. The crowd and atmosphere may have been too much for Berwick as Hanover Area pulled out a 3-2 victory. “It was a great atmosphere and we came out ready to play,” said Hawkeyes senior Austin Bogart. “Especially with the student section up there. It definitely put a little pep in our steps.” The Hawkeyes (9-4-1) will clinch their second straight division title barring a monumental upset at the hands of Nanticoke (0-14) tonight or MMI (3-10) Wednesday.

DALLAS -- For all of the big names on the field Monday at Dallas, the Class 3A showdown between Crestwood and the Mountaineers came down to the biggest player on the field. The Comets’ Tony Morgante blocked a punt with 71 seconds remaining in the first half, which was covered by Brandon Ruckle. Morgante’s play -- an athletic charge by a 6-foot-4, 295-pound tackle -- set up Crestwood’s only score in a 7-6 victory over previously unbeaten Dallas. “I think we’ve got our respect now,” Morgante said. “No one in the papers and no one in our school thought we were going to win this game.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — For a team in turmoil, this was one therapeutic win. It certainly wasn’t pretty or convincing. But it did the job for Rex Ryan and his feuding New York Jets.

Mark Sanchez threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes and ran for another score as the Jets — who called this a “must-win” game — capped a tough week by pulling out a victory and sending the Dolphins to their fifth straight loss. With the losses mounting and the season already on the brink of spinning out of control for the Jets (3-3), they traded wide re-

Hanover Area’s Matt Elmy reacts to scoring the team’s second goal of the game during the first half against Berwick.

n the ride to the biggest regularseason soccer game of his final high school season, Jay Dawsey put on a mix of music to mold his frame of mind. Is it any surprise he went straight for rap? The way Dawsey rapped around Pittston Area’s league championship hopes, it’s clear he took the advice of rap artist Eminem – who encouraged on a 2005 hit to “lose yourself in the music.” Or maybe Dawsey really found himself. The speedy Lake-Lehman senior scored four goals at pivotal times Monday, leading the Black Knights to the Wyoming Valley Conference Division II title with a 6-2 victory over division challenger Pittston Area. “It’s not just me, it’s (about) my team,” Dawsey said. But the team turned to Dawsey at its most critical moments. “Jay’s someone we’re leaning on,” Lehman coach Mike Kostrobala said. The kid welcomed that pressure. In a game where Pittston Area starting keeper Taylor Roberts was stopping everything before leaving with a gash above his eye, Dawsey found a way to get the ball past him twice for a 2-0 Lehman lead. And when that advantage disappeared with a furious two-goal Pittston Area rally in the second half, Dawsey gave Lehman control again with his third and fourth scores for another two-goal Black Knights lead. “Jay’s got a lot of leadership,” Kostrobala said. “He understands the flow of the game. You hear him the whole match, talking to kids, giving them pointers.” That Dawsey was able to keep pointing the Black Knights in the right direction isn’t surprising. He is one of the leading scorers in the conference with 28 goals and 12 assists, the guy who creates opportunities for his teammates and the one who immediately captures the attention of opponents. “I was getting good angles, getting through the defense well,” Dawsey said. Then he smiled, thinking back to all the hard practices he went through, and said, “They paid off for me.” Pittston Area knew he was a bigmoney player, that he was dangerous before the game even began, and made it a point to try and hold Dawsey down. Whoops, there goes gravity. Dawsey seemed to float through Pittston Area’s defense all day, finding openings and creating opportunities as if it was all second-nature to him. “He’s a really nice player,” Pittston Area coach Pat O’Boyle said. It was a nice ride back to Lehman for the Black Knights after Dawsey kept ramming the ball into the back of the net. But it all began on the way up. “I was listening to my music, getting in my zone,” Dawsey said. It’s a state of mind few others can find, where in a make-or-break moment, he owned it.

WORLD SERIES

Surprise NL champs have home-field advantage By R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

UP NEXT

ST. LOUIS — That chant of “Happy Flight! Happy Flight!” has been exceptionally joyful lately for the St. Louis Cardinals. They celebrated in Philadelphia after knocking off the favored Phillies in the National League division series, then hushed a packed crowd in Milwaukee and sprayed champagne in the visitor’s clubhouse after winning the franchise’s 18th pennant. The clinching blowout victory over the Brewers on Sunday night was the 15th consecutive time the Cardinals had won be-

fore heading for the airport, a run they’ll risk against the American League champion Texas Rangers. The wild-card Cardinals have the home-field advantage for the first time, thanks to Prince Fielder’s three-run homer in the National League’s All-Star victory. They’re underdogs against the Rangers, making their second

straight trip to the World Series. It’s nothing new for this lateblooming team that was boosted by several trade deadline pickups. All those getaway victories fueled an improbable surge for a team that trailed Atlanta by 101⁄2 games for the wild card on Aug. 25. Entering the final month, they were in serious danger of finishing out of the postseason for the fourth time in five years since winning the 2006 World Series. The Cardinals were afterthoughts in ’06, too, after winning just 83 games. Albert Pujols, Chris Carpenter, Yadier Mo-

lina, Skip Schumaker and injured pitcher Adam Wainwright, who got the last out in both the NLCS and World Series, are holdovers from that team. “When you get to the postseason anything can happen,” Pujols said. “We got to the postseason and we were riding hot. We’re swinging the bats pretty well and the bullpen has been unbelievable.” The momentum was just enough to overtake the fading Braves on the final day of the season. Fortified by Rafael Furcal, a hit in the leadoff slot and at shortstop, starter Edwin Jackson and relievers Marc Rzepc-

They did well and let’s hope we get another championship.” Bogart gave the Hanover Area fans something to cheer about in the first half when he received a pass from Pat Cook and beat Berwick keeper Alex Buck with a header for his 31st goal of the season to put the team ahead 1-0 at the 19:45 mark. Bogart, a senior, now has 67 points this year. But Berwick, which packs a potent punch on offense, wasn’t going away without a fight. Kyle Venditti (28 goals, 12 assists, 68 points) found the back of the net on a header of his own off

Berwick’s offense, which has scored a WVC-high 92 goals, kept pushing until the final buzzer sounded. The team outshot the Hawks 17-12 and was driving hard into Hanover Area territory in the final minutes, but the defense cleared three balls to ruin any chance of evening the score. Nealon didn’t mark the two Berwick stars, he just played a zone defense marking every player, not just Umana and Venditti and that plan worked well. “I’ve been watching their scores and they’ve been scoring an awful lot of goals so what we did was we stacked up our defense because a tie would’ve been just as good as a win tonight,” Nealon added.

HUGHESTOWN – After watching control suddenly slip away, Jay Dawsey knew it was now or never for his LakeLehman Black Knights. “I was thinking we had to pick up the intensity,” Dawsey said. He made sure the Black Knights picked up a victory, and along with it, another Wyoming Valley Conference Division II championship. Dawsey scored two of his four goals over the game’s final 14 minutes Monday as Lehman staved off Pittston Area and sharp-shooting Jordan Consagra, 6-2 for the division title. “Felt great,” Dawsey said. “We were able to step up and get the win. It was a big opportunity for us to get the division title again.” For the Patriots, it was opportunity lost. They rallied to tie the game at 2-2 after a listless 55 minutes behind a pair of unassisted second-half goals from Consagra, one of the league’s elite strikers who now has 29 goals this season. “He creates opportunities for himself,” Pittston Area coach Pat O’Boyle said of his scoring star. “The kid knows how to score.” But Dawsey took out Pittston Area’s divisional title dreams. The Lehman senior began the game with a pair of goals for a quick 2-0 Black Knights lead, then broke the second half deadlock with goals in the 66th and 69th minutes to get Lehman rolling again. Mike Novak and Austin Harry finished out the scoring, with Dawsey contributing a nice crossing assist on Novak’s goal. “They really took it to us the last 10 minutes,” O’Boyle said. That allowed Lehman to celebrate the league title with a sigh of relief. The 12-3-0 Black Knights entered the day holding a slim lead over 9-5-1 Pittston Area in the Division II standings with one game to play – but that regular season finale promises to be a difficult battle with Crestwood, the WVC Division I runnerup. “It was nice to take care of business (Monday),” Lehman coach Mike Kostrobala said. “It was nice to get it out of the way.” Nothing stood in Dawsey’s way, even on an uncomfortably windy day at the Pittston Area soccer field. He rifled home goals in the 15th minute and the 52nd minute to give Lehman control, 2-0. Consagra nearly wrestled it away, with a score from the corner and a wicked riser in the 59th minute that allowed the Patriots to even things at 2-2. “He did a nice job of getting us back in it,” O’Boyle said. But Dawsey answered with his third and fourth goals of the day, triggering a four-goal

AUTO RACING

Factors converged in crash that killed Wheldon By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

The perfect storm: A high-banked oval crowded with the largest field of the season. Inexperienced or impatient drivers racing at more than 220 mph. Absolutely no room for error. What was supposed to be a seasonending showdown at Las Vegas Motor Speedway became instead a script for disaster Sunday: a fiery 15-car crash that killed popular two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon and left the shaken auto racing community to deal with uncomfortable questions. The drivers knew the Las Vegas race was going to present challenges even before the season began. The sleek, open-wheel machines of IndyCar had not raced at the track since 2000, and the now-defunct Champ Car Series was last there in 2005. Some of the drivers had been there before, but many had not. None had raced an IndyCar there since the track’s 2006 reconfiguration added “progressive banking” designed to increase side-by-side racing. So there was some initial fretting when second-year IndyCar chairman Randy Bernard announced a $5 million payday to any moonlighting driver who could win the race. Bernard had hoped to land a superstar or two from the fender-rubbing NASCAR circuit. Maybe even former Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Mon-

toya. But nobody bit, despite interest from NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne, X-Games star Travis Pastrana and former CART champion Alex Zanardi. “Hopefully they’ll pick someone competent enough to drive those things because it is an IndyCar,” Penske driver Will Power said shortly after the prize was announced. “You can’t rub panels. You rub wheels, and someone’s going flying.” That left only Wheldon, winner of 14 races on ovals in IndyCar, including the Indy 500 in May, to be eligible for the $5 million prize. Bernard made that ruling because the 33-year-old Englishman lost his job at the end of last season, put together a one-race deal for the Indy 500 and had turned down offers from lesscompetitive teams. Wheldon put together a deal with Sam Schmidt Motorsports to race two weeks ago at Kentucky and for the prize on Sunday. “He wanted to do it in the worst way,” an emotional Bernard said Monday. A lot of other drivers wanted to be in the race, too. Interest in the final race, which Bernard had worked tirelessly to create, had risen enough that sponsors wanted to get involved. Because IndyCar is in the final year of racing its current car design, teams had expendable inventory. It led to 34 entries in the field. That’s

one car more than the Indy 500, five more than the race two weeks ago at Kentucky, and eight more than IndyCar had in Japan last month. Who were these new drivers? Men and women without much experience at IndyCar’s top level. It was the fourth start for Wade Cunningham, who was in the thick of the action where the accident started. It was the third career start for Pippa Mann and the 20th for JR Hildebrand, who both spent Sunday night in a Las Vegas hospital recovering from injuries suffered in the accident. At least six drivers didn’t have enough starts to complete a full season, and some of the veterans had raced only a handful of times this season. The drivers had three hours, 15 minutes of practice time over three days to get ready for Las Vegas. They were not on the track at all Saturday. Davey Hamilton alluded to a lack of experience contributing to Sunday’s accident. “You can’t come in here and race with these guys and think you’re going to beat them — ever,” Hamilton said. “I’m a part-time guy now. When I go to Indianapolis, I get weeks of practice,” he said. “But the days of me coming here, the experience I have in these cars, to try to compete against these guys is very, very difficult. These guys are tough, the best in the world. To compete and win,

you need to do it all the time. “And you can’t bring guys that have never raced, especially in IndyCars, to a deal like that,” he added. Not every driver practices the patience and give-and-take approach required to make it unscathed to the finish line. Veterans in every circuit complain about young, aggressive drivers making moves far too early in the race and not understanding the etiquette required on a dangerous track. Dario Franchitti, who won his third consecutive IndyCar title by default Sunday, recognized early that the racing ahead of him was far too intense. He hooked up with Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon, falling to the back of the field and away from danger. That’s a common practice in NASCAR at Daytona and Talladega, where drivers have often laid back — away from the action for 450 miles — before mounting a frantic late charge through the field. “I could see within five laps people were starting to do crazy stuff,” Franchitti said. “I love hard racing, but that to me is not really what it’s about.” The accident that led to Wheldon’s fatal crash began far ahead of him, when one car veered into another. Suddenly, everybody was running into everybody. Wheldon had to start at the back of the field as part of the eligibility rules. By the time he reached the scene, the wreckage was everywhere.

drive, leaving Dallas down 7-6 with 15 minutes still to play. “The bottom line is they made more plays than we did,” Jackson said. “We had our chances. We dropped balls (five of Zapotsky’s first eight passes were incomplete). The blocked punt, the two missed kicks all hurt us.” Dallas put together two long drives after scoring. The first was a 16-play drive that started on the Mountaineers’ 6 and moved to the Crestwood 11 before a third-down touchdown run by Jim Roccograndi was wiped out by a holding penalty and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Dallas sideline. “That changed the whole game,” Jackson said. “Usually, in a game like this, the officials keep the flags in their pockets. Today, they were coming from everywhere. The penalty situation (19 in all, 12 by Crestwood) was bad both ways.” The Mountaineers punted after stalling at the Comets’ 35 with 1:56 left, then forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with 1:28 remaining.

Starting at the Crestwood 41, Zapoticky completed passes to Dunn and Keifer Rogers, and scrambled for an 11-yard gain to the 13 with 34 seconds to play. After a 3-yard run by Roccograndi, Zapoticky spiked the ball to stop the clock with 15 seconds remaining. Napkora came on to try a potentially winning 27-yard field goal, but could not lift the ball over the linemen on his kick.

changed things,” Dallas coach Ted Jackson said. “They only had to go 30-40 yards instead of 70 yards. I said in the preseason that they are the most talented team in our division.” Dallas answered in the third quarter with a 78-yard drive sparked by its passing game. Ryan Zapoticky connected with Jason Simonovich for a 30-yard completion after breaking open on a seam route. Simonovich was tackled low by Aigeldinger at safety. Aigeldinger was injured on the play. “Nick wasn’t able to throw the ball in the fourth quarter because of the shoulder injury,” Myers said. Zapoticky went right back down the seam on the next play, finding an uncovered Dunn for a 33-yard pass. With Aigeldinger off the field, Dunn went unimpeded into the end zone. Aaron Napkora missed the PAT kick, hooking a low line

LEHMAN TWP. – Holy Redeemer scored four goals in 13 minutes to down Coughlin 4-0 in high school field hockey Monday at Lake-Lehman. Marnie Kusakavitch scored twice in four minutes and Melanie Kusakavitch opened the scoring for the Royals (12-3), who won a school-record 12th game. “When we can use everyone on the field, we’re successful,” Royals coach Juliann DeFalco said. “Our speed up front is pretty fast. We have to work to piece together our passes.” One of those passes that came together as DeFalco would like came from Melanie Kusakavitch, who sent the ball across the goal mouth to Steph McCole in the 21st minute. McCole then flipped the ball over Coughlin goalie Paige Tedik to make it 2-0. Marnie Kusavaitch struck 59 seconds later on a rocket during a 4-on-4 rush for a three-goal lead. She scored again four minutes later on a penalty corner. “We’ve been stressing teamwork,” DeFalco said. “We gave the kids the day off yesterday. They’ve played a lot recently, played Saturday, so a day off was good.” Coughlin had a solid second half, earning four of its five corners after halftime. Both teams will be in the District 2 playoffs starting later this week.

ceiver Derrick Mason to Houston and then had to deal with some infighting as Holmes called out the offensive line for not giving Sanchez enough time to throw deep. Right guard Brandon Moore fired back, saying those comments could have a “fragmenting effect” and were not what a captain, which Holmes is, should do. Ryan, who insisted his team’s Super Bowl hopes would not be undone by locker room disharmony, even sent Holmes and Moore out as the captains for the pregame coin toss.

Turns out, this game against the Dolphins (0-5) came at just the right time as the Jets got their season back on track. Next up for New York: the San Diego Chargers (4-1) on Sunday, with a chance to head into the bye on a high note. Sanchez, who has also taken lots of criticism, finished 14 of 25 for 201 yards and the touchdown pass to Holmes, and Shonn Greene ran for 74 yards on 21 carries. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are 0-5 to start a season for the second time in five years, and things are looking an awful lot like 2007 — when Miami went 1-15.

Eagles get to take break Andy Reid gives Eagles the week off after season-saving victory over Redskins.

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA — A seasonsaving win has the Philadelphia Eagles thinking positive heading into their off week. The Eagles (2-4) snapped a four-game losing streak with a 20-13 victory at Washington on Sunday in a game they had to win. The defending NFC East champions are suddenly back in the mix in a jumbled division that lacks a powerhouse team. Coach Andy Reid rewarded his players and coaches with a week off. That’s typical for him during the off week and it’s paid off throughout his tenure. The Eagles are 12-0 after an off week under Reid. “I want them to get away, and you can’t help it,” Reid said Monday. “You’re in the season and there are games going on around

you. You’re not going to forget about that, and I’m not even sure you can do that in the offseason. I want them to get away and take a deep breath, and get their bodies and minds back where they’re able to relax. Then, get them back here and get them to work again. I think the bye comes at a good time. “It’s close enough to the middle of the season where I think it’s a good thing.” A loss to the Redskins, who came in at 3-1 and off a bye, would’ve all but finished Philadelphia’s season. No team has opened a season 1-5 and reached the playoffs since Cincinnati did it in 1970. The Bengals started 1-6 that year before winning their last seven games. Michael Vick made sure the Eagles wouldn’t have to try to climb out of a similar, seemingly insurmountable hole. Vick led a turnover-prone offense to 20 first-half points, and the defense had its best all-around effort in holding off the Redskins. The Eagles blew fourth-quarter leads in three of their four losses.

“It was just one win,” Vick said. “I think if we get the next one, we’ll get that confidence. But we definitely feel good about where we are right now. Obviously, there’s a lot of work to be done. We’re committed to getting that done. I’m excited for the guys. I’m proud of the defense, offense, special teams, my offensive line guys, the receivers made great plays when they needed to. I felt like I made the plays that I needed to make minus a couple.” This season hasn’t gone the way the Eagles expected. They entered with a Super Bowl-orbust mentality. Instead, they’re sitting in last place with November approaching. The consolation is the fact they’re only two games behind the New York Giants, and have a favorable schedule coming up. The Eagles play their next three games at home, starting with a Sunday night matchup against Dallas (2-3) on Oct. 30. They host Chicago and Arizona before playing their next road game at the Giants on Nov. 20.

Campbell, Bradford, coaches land on week’s injured list The Associated Press

It was a rough weekend for quarterbacks — and coaches. Jason Campbell of the Raiders is out indefinitely with a broken collarbone, Sam Bradford of the Rams is questionable with a high left ankle sprain and Matt Schaub of the Texans has a chest bruise but isn’t likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Titans. The coaching ranks were hit, too. New Orleans coach Sean Payton had surgery to repair a torn meniscus and fractured bone in his left leg on Monday, a day after one of his players was tackled into him on the sideline. And Tampa Bay defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake injured his left knee on the sideline while celebrating Tanard Jackson’s interception during the Buccaneers’ win over Payton’s Saints. Campbell was expected to have surgery Monday, and said that if everything goes right he could be back in six weeks. He was injured late in the first half of Oakland’s 24-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday when he landed hard on his shoulder at the end of a scramble. Bradford is in a walking boot, and A.J. Feeley is likely to take most of the snaps when the winless Rams resume practice Wednesday. Bradford’s status for Sunday’s game at Dallas is in question. Bradford has been sacked 21 times the first five games. Also, offensive tackle Rodger Saffold (ankle) and running back Cadillac Williams (thigh) were scheduled to undergo MRI exams. Schaub underwent an MRI exam Monday, and Texans coach Gary Kubiak said his QB is “just beat up,” will probably sit out Wednesday’s practice but “all indications are he’ll be OK.” As for Payton, the coach was expected to remain in the hospital until Tuesday. “The surgery went very well,” Saints orthopedic surgeon Dr. Deryk Jones said in a statement released by the team. Payton should be able to return to work by Wednesday but probably won’t be able to put weight on his left leg for about eight weeks, Jones said, adding that a full recovery could take three to six months. Payton was hurt during New Orleans’

26-20 loss at Tampa Bay on Sunday when Saints tight end Jimmy Graham was tackled into his coach along the sideline. Payton has said he expects to call plays from the booth when the Saints host Indianapolis on Sunday night. Also: • Bears star Devin Hester should be OK after leaving Sunday’s win over Minnesota with a chest injury. Coach Lovie Smith said Monday the injury “shouldn’t be serious” and that it belongs more on the “bumps and bruises” list. • Lions coach Jim Schwartz said running back Jahvid Best started showing “concussion-like symptoms” after the loss to the 49ers. • Browns running back Peyton Hillis has an injured left hamstring, and coach Pat Shurmur does not know how long he will be sidelined. Hillis was injured in the first quarter of Sunday’s 24-17 loss at Oakland. On Monday, Hillis underwent an MRI, which revealed the injury. Shurmur did not provide any specifics on Hillis’ injury. •Texans safety Dominique Barber will go on injured reserve with a foot injury, and safety Danieal Manning (lower leg bruise) and left tackle Duane Brown (knee bruise) are both day to day. There was good news: Kubiak is hopeful WR Andre Johnson will return after missing two games with a right hamstring injury. • Bengals middle linebacker Rey Maualuga wore a cast on his left foot, an indication his ankle injury will sideline him for more than one game. The team said Maualuga sprained his left ankle during practice last Thursday and wasn’t active in Sunday’s win over the Colts. • Cowboys running back Felix Jones has a high ankle sprain and left guard Bill Nagy has a broken ankle and is likely done for the season. • Redskins left guard Kory Lichtensteiger is out for the year with torn ligaments in his right knee. Coach Mike Shanahan also indicated Chris Cooley’s season might be over after the tight end broke the left index finger in Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia. Cooley will have surgery Wednesday. Meanwhile, left tackle Trent Williams is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with a severely sprained right ankle.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

UNC’s Kolojejchick is at the top of her game Junior Kelsey Kolojejchick is having another All-American season with the University of North Carolina field hockey team. Kolojejchick, from Larksville (Wyoming Seminary), is one of the top scorers in the nation this season. She has 15 goals and six assists for 36 points and had an assist in a 7-2 victory over Virginia last Saturday and a goal in a 3-0 triumph over James Madison on Sunday. She had 15 goals and 38 points in both her freshman and sophomore seasons. “I thought the Virginia game was a huge step for us,” Kolojejchick said. “We played at a great level and scored a lot of goals.” And coach Karen Shelton feels that Kolojejchick is leading the way. “Kelsey has matured a lot from last year and is becoming a more complete player,” Shelton said. “She continues to be a scoring threat in any game we play, but she’s also become a more mature player tactically, in both her offensive and defensive play.” Kolojejchick is also becoming a leader on the team according to Shelton. “She leads by doing the little things on the field well, encouraging her teammates and performing well under pressure,” the coach said. “She’s an outstanding player who continues to work hard and improve.” Kolojejchick enjoys her role as a leader. “I try to help the younger players stay calm and composed while still playing with a high level of intensity,” she said. “Sometimes in big games, it’s easy to get flustered, but I try to set an example.” It’s easy to lead by example when you have Kolojejchick’s resume. She became the first Tar Heel freshman to earn AllAmerican honors and repeated that honor last season as a sophomore. She was Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Year and a first-team All-ACC choice. Last season, she was named All-ACC, All-NCAA and South Region Player of the Year. The No. 2-ranked Tar Heels are 14-1-0 overall and 4-0-0 in the ACC and can wrap up the league title against No. 3 Maryland Saturday in Chapel Hill. The team’s final game of the season will be at Old Dominion Sunday, Oct. 30. Old Dominion, ranked No. 1, handed the Tar Heels their only setback (3-1) earlier in the season. “There’s not one easy game or one that we can look past,” Kolojejchick said. “We have to stay focused and maintain a high level of play.” ROSA A STEADY RUNNER – Junior Gabriel Rosa (GAR) has been one of the most consistent runners on the SUNY-Maritime men’s cross country team. He finished 24th out of 102 runners in the recent York, NY, Invitational with an 8k time of 31:49. His best 8k time was 31:31 when he finished 25th in the Knights Invitational at Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh, NY. He’s also had a 30:01 for five miles and an 18:25 for 5k this season. “While Gabriel is one of the best runners we have, he’s also proven himself to be a great leader,” coach William Rueger said. Reuger, who is director of facilities at Maritime, was approached to coach cross country but wasn’t sure he wanted the job. “When I met with Rosa and the rest of the team, I knew it was something I would love to do,” he said. Rosa’s teammate Tom Moskowitz, the team captain, told Rueger that “Gabriel has never failed to come through in the clutch whether it be on the course, practice or in school. And, he can always bring a smile to the team just when we need it most.” Reuger found that his captain’s words ring true. Rosa and the Privateers will compete next in the Skyline Conference Championships Sunday, Oct. 30 at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. SKUDALSKI FITS RIGHT IN – Lauren Skudalski of Wyoming (Wyoming Seminary) is just a freshman but she’s starting on defense for the Columbia field hockey team. She has four de-

ON CAMPUS BILL ARSENAULT fensive saves and helped the Lions sport a 6-6 record with a 3-1 mark in the Ivy League. “Lauren continues to be a dominant presence in our backfield,” coach Marybeth Freeman said. “The strength she has on and off the ball, the execution of her technical skills and her willingness to do for the team are reasons why we have had tremendous success in our deep defense. Her do-or-die attitude is how she has garnered this recognition.” The coach calls Skudalski “a student of the game.” “During the recruiting process, we knew her drive to succeed both in the classroom and on the field was going to make a huge impact and it has,” Freeman said. “If she continues to do what she has been doing, execute the way we need her to execute and stays confident and strong, the opportunities for her and Columbia field hockey are endless.” SWOBODA LEADS THE WAY – It didn’t take long for freshman Jessica Swoboda to adapt to college field hockey. Swoboda, from Hanover Township (Wyoming Seminary), leads Villanova in all three scoring categories – goals (seven), assists (six) and points (20). She has had three gamewinners with the go-ahead goals in a 3-1 victory over Radford and a 2-1 triumph over Penn. The first goal of her college career came in a 3-1 victory over La Salle. “Jess has been fantastic,”

4-4 in the PSAC West. Lee has given up 20 goals and has 36 saves with two shutouts sharing goalkeeper duties. “Courtney has improved immensely since her arrival in August,” coach Julie Zoolkowski said. “She has refined her footwork and strengthened her clears and her confidence which has led to her earning the starting keeper position.” The Rock has four others from the area who have had solid seasons. Freshman Lindsay Brown (Crestwood) has three goals, sophomore Allison Banks (Coughlin) has a goal and three assists and junior Gabrielle Malishchak (Nanticoke) has a goal and three assists. Senior Erin Moran (Wyoming Valley West) has started all 16 games on defense. “Lindsay has a great work ethic and is a reliable sub for us on the forward line,” Zoolkowski said. “Allison has stepped up UNC ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS to be a force in our midfield and Kelsey Kolojejchick shown playing for the University of North Carolina field hockey team against our striker on corners and GaWake Forest University at Henry Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. last month. brielle was recently moved to forward to help us create more coach Joanie Milhous said. “She ranked Louisville last Saturday. important part of our new-look offense.

IBM raises guidance

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

IBM raised its full-year guidance again on Monday, offering fresh evidence of the company’s ability to wring profit from technology services and software contracts. But questions about growth reared up as IBM’s third-quarter revenue fell slightly short of Wall Street’s target — a disappointment for a company that usually exceeds expectations. IBM’s stock fell in extended trading.

Best Western Genetti’s Hotel Manager Sam Wagner points out the new features in a king-size guest room. Along with the new pillow-top mattresses and decor the room has new crown moldings, an HDTV, new furniture and an air conditioning unit that detects when guests are in the room.

Shares drop sharply

ILKES-BARRE — Two Luzerne County Best Western hotels are undergoing multimillion-dollar upgrades to earn the chain’s “Plus” designation. The East Mountain Inn off Route 115 is undergoing a $3 million renovation and the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center in downtown Wilkes-Barre is spending $2 million on its upgrades. Having the “Plus” designation means travelers will find increased levels of comfort in rooms and in public areas. “Best Western has gone to a tiering designation since it is made up with such a diverse property portfolio that’s all individually owned and, until this juncture, individually designed,” said East Mountain Inn General Manager Nadine Howe. “This will allow Best Western customers to have a better understanding of the level of accommodations they’ll experience at this level of hotel.”

Upgrades a ‘Plus’

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

U.S. stocks declined about 2 percent Monday for their worst session in two weeks, retreating from last week’s rise after Germany played down the idea of a quick fix for Europe and an index of regional manufacturing fell short. “The bigger picture is we just had a terrific rally, with the S&P 500 index up about 14 percent in the last two weeks, so investors decided to take a deep breath and lock some profits in,” said Phil Orlando, equity market strategist at Federated Investors. Financial stocks were the hardest hit, leading broad losses for the S&P 500’s 10 industry groups with a 3.3 percent drop. Wells Fargo & Co. fell 8.5 percent after the company reported a thirdquarter revenue decline.

The chain has three tiers — Best Western, Best Western Plus and Best Western Premier — so that guests can get a better idea of the level of accommodations they will experience. “We’ve built 65 years of goodwill with guests worldwide, and we are constantly evolving to better serve our customers. Descriptors enable better navigation of our large and diverse hotel portfolio, making it easier for business and leisure travelers to know which type of Best Western hotel to book,” said David Kong, president and CEO of Best Western International, in a corporate release. Howe said room renovations at her hotel have been undertaken semi-annually, but starting next year, every article in each of the inn’s 152 rooms will be replaced. The project will also include upgrades to the meeting and banquet areas. At Genetti’s, the work is a bit further along. Hotel manager Sam Wagner said the establishment’s 72 hotel rooms have

been equipped with new furniture, shelving, decor and electronics, including 37-inch flat screen LCD televisions. Ballrooms, corridors, the pool and the lobby also have been upgraded, as has the exterior of the building. Wagner said the entire project should be completed by year’s end. “We see progress in Wilkes-Barre being made and moving forward and we wanted to move forward with it,” Wagner said. Still slated for completion are the addition of a fireplace in the lobby and some exterior landscaping. All the work in the guest rooms is complete. Owner Gus Genetti said he’s been hoping for a tiered-system for decades and believes it gives guests a better idea of the level of comfort they can expect. “If I was looking for a roomy, homey, affordable hotel room then I’d stay at a Best Western. If I were looking for all of that plus some more upscale offerings, then I’d look for a Best Western Plus,” Genetti said.

WHEN I FIRST SAW the HTC Rhyme, I thought: Well, this is different. What gave me pause, at first, was the color. If I wanted to wax poetic, I’d describe the Rhyme’s color as tyrian red; most people would call it purple. I was relieved to find that it was also available in white and blue. The Rhyme is not your standard HTC fare. For one, the case, while outwardly resembling most other HTC devices, gives more attention to esthetics, and it’s extremely solid as well, without being heavy. When I turned it on, I was also struck by the interface. It’s a bit of a departure from HTC’s standard Sense interface, with updated effects and a new home screen layout. I like the existing interface, but what I saw on the Rhyme was less overwhelming, while still being straightforward. Another unique feature is the dock. Most phones don’t just come with a docking cradle anymore. The Rhyme does, and it’s not just any dock: it acts as an external speaker set as ONLINE well. It sits the phone at an To see video, angle, so the display is easy scan this QR to see if it’s set on a desk or code into your smartphone or nightstand. I was surprised visit www.tito discover that the Rhyme mesleader.com is a 3G-only phone. Most of Verizon’s new offerings take advantage of the 4G capabilities of its network. The Rhyme also has a 5 megapixel camera, instead of HTC’s usual (of late) 8 megapixel offering, but I did notice that it’s significantly faster than the 8 megapixel camera – almost instantaneous, in fact. Hit the button and you’ve got a picture, just like that. Another interesting feature: There’s an attachable call indicator. It lights up if you get a phone call or a text message. The fact that the indicator is referred to as a Charm, coupled with the marketing that’s gone on around this device, makes me think this phone is directly aimed at a younger, female demographic. Marketing aside, the HTC Rhyme represents an innovative and extremely solid entry, even if it is limited to 3G. Many people won’t notice the difference. I would have the price a touch lower, given the camera and the network speed, but with the accessories, it may be justified. The Rhyme costs $199 with a contract.

It’s getting to that time of the year when I consider any temperatures about 60 to be a bonus. Indeed, today will be one of those days. Despite some morning cloudiness and maybe a stray shower we can expect enough sunshine today to be able to shed our jackets this afternoon. Even tonight temperatures should remain above 50 but a storm along the coast will spread rain our way tomorrow. The amount we get will likely be less than one inch. Yet the storm will be large enough and slow moving so that showers will persist tomorrow night and on through Thursday. - Tom Clark

Cafeteria cooking

New school year features healthier lunch fare

By EILEEN GODIN

rea school districts are making the grade in nutrition by offering a wider selection of fruits, vegetables and increasing whole-grain foods into their menus. Pluots (part plum, part apricot) and blood oranges are not the typical fruits found in a school

cafeteria, but Mallory Rosenberg, nutrition diet technician for the Nutrition Group serving the Wilkes-

Barre Area School District, said the goal is to teach the children the variety of healthy food choices. Gone are the days of having soda, white bread, white flour products, and an assortment of sweet treats in school cafeterias. Today, students are choosing between flavored and white nonfat milk, a selection of fruits, vegetables and cookies made from whole grain. Emphasis to improve the nutrition of school meals by cutting back on unnecessary calories, fat, sodium and sugar is in effort to fight childhood obesity and resulting chronic health problems. David Feller, food service director with the Nutrition Group, serving Wilkes-Barre Area School District, and Lori Mount, food director with Nutrition Inc., servicing Lake-Lehman School District, said

Parents don’t always have the best habits when it comes to packing healthy school lunches. “There are lots of ways to make things more varied, fun and colorful,” says Jennifer Shea, a Boston-based dietitian who works with several grocery chains. Here are some don’ts: • Not involving kids. Let them offer input on new fruits and vegetables they would try and help pack their lunchboxes. • Tossing in chips. As an alternative, have kids create their own bags of trail mix. Possible ingredients: whole-grain pretzels or cereal (anything with at least three grams of fiber and less than nine grams of See LUNCHBOX, Page 2C

Q: What can you tell me about a disorder called “PANDAS”? Our pediatrician believes our son may have it. — D.J. Sugar Hill, Ga. A: “PANDAS” stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus. It’s a rare and controversial condition where certain behavior changes are observed in a previously healthy child within just a few weeks after a streptococcus bacterial condition like strep throat. The most common behavioral changes seen are the abrupt development of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s syndrome with uncontrollable motor and/or vocal tics. One theory linking infection with neurological changes suggests that in these children, their immune systems overreact and not only attack the streptococcal bacterial infection, but parts of the brain responsible for movement and behavior. Treatment of suspected PANDAS is often empiric use of an antibiotic like Augmentin, even though the current belief is that the symptoms of PANDAS are due to an exaggerated immune system response to a recent streptococcus infection and not an active infection itself. For more information, contact the PANDAS Foundation at: www.internationalpandasfoundation.org. Q: I use Primatene spray for my asthma condition. Although it tends to make my heart race a bit, I only need it occasionally. I’m hearing that it will no longer be available after Dec. 31. What do you recommend I use in its place? — G.R., Huntsville, Ala. A: Primatene mist inhalers use a CFC propellant that’s bad for the ozone layer. That’s why it’s being pulled off the shelves — at least until they get FDA approval for the more environmentally friendly HFA propellant in replacement. While the absence of Primatene spray will be temporary, many physicians remain concerned over the safety and appropriateness of using inhaled adrenaline (the active ingredient in Primatene) to manage asthma. Here are the issues with Primatene: 1) Inhaled adrenaline used on an “as needed” basis can lead to inadequate treatment of asthma. Persistent asthma is a disease of underlying inflammation, and adrenaline (or even the prescription albuterol) inhalers do nothing to help that problem; 2) There is a tendency to overuse Primatene since it’s available without a prescription. 3) It can raise blood pressure and is not good for folks with hypertension; and 4) Asthma is a chronic disease that should be under the supervision of a physician.

dents what a balanced meal should look like. Rosenberg explained the new “MyPlate” portions icon to the Heights Elementary Youth Advisory Council. The circle is divided into four roughly equal quadrants indicating how much protein, grain, fruit and vegetables should be on their plates at each meal. A smaller circle outside the plate represents a serving of low-fat dairy. Feller said the new icon is easier for students to understand how much and what types of foods they should be eating. Under the new guidelines, children should be eating half a cup of fruits and vegetables with every meal, Mount said. Even pizza, a longtime lunch favorite, has received a nutritional facelift. Feller said pizza is now made with a whole grain crust and low-fat cheese. Rosenberg said whole grains provide extra fiber to a diet but also help keep children full and focused until their next meal. Whole grain has replaced 51 percent of the breaded products on the menu, Rosenberg said. “Breaded items such as chicken nuggets will be phased out,” she said. “Grilled chicken will be offered instead.” So how do these changes fair to the most desiring food critics?

Elementary School, WilkesBarre, gave the new lunch menu a thumbs-up. “The pizza is way better,” said fifth-grader Malik Burton. Six weeks into the school year, many students did not realize they were drinking skim milk. Jennifer Ajar, 10, and Ashley Dalessandro, 11, both fifthgrade students, said the milk tastes better. Rosenberg added the nonfat milk provides the necessary calcium and vitamins without the extra fat. Providing healthy choices combined with state funding cuts may affect the school lunch program next year, Mount said. Healthier items are more expensive, even in the grocery stores, Feller said. Currently, the cost of a school lunch at Lake-Lehman is $1.75 for a high school student and $1.65 for elementary students. The cost of a school lunch at Wilkes-Barre Area is $1.60 for a high school student and $1.30 for elementary students. “Lunch fees in the WilkesBarre School District have stayed the same for four to five years,” Feller said. He said before any determination is made on next year’s pricing, the district should “wait a year to see how the changes affect it fiscally.” bles or natural peanut butter with 100 percent fruit jam.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2011 PAGE 5C

Friend who often threatens suicide has tragic example in her past Dear Abby: I have a dear friend, “Angie,” who lost her father to suicide several years ago. Whenever life throws her a curveball, she talks about “ending it all.” This bothers me tremendously because I went through the heartache and distress with her when her father took his life. Angie has a loving family — mother, sister, beautiful children and a boyfriend. I, on the other hand, am completely alone, yet I muddle along without threatening suicide at every bump in life. How can I get my friend to stop and realize how lucky she is to have such a wonderful support system

DEAR ABBY ADVICE when there are those of us who have no one — yet we find the strength to carry on? — Not Giving Up in Las Vegas Dear Not Giving Up: You have inner resources that it appears Angie does not. However, if a friend of mine whose relative had committed suicide told me repeatedly that she was considering doing the same, I would report it to her family and urge them to see that she got professional help. That’s what you should do, in case depression and suicidal impulses run in her family, as is sometimes the case.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: I appreciate frugality, especially now that we all have to watch our spending. However, my neighbor is incredibly frugal. She often asks if she can “borrow” something instead of buying whatever it is she needs. Her latest request was for socks — yes, socks! — For her daughter’s dance recital. I put socks in the same category as underwear, something a little too personal to be lending out. Before that, it was leggings, a CD — the list goes on and on. She always returns the items, but enough is enough! I work, she doesn’t. I feel as though I’m expected to provide for them because I have a job. I don’t know if I should say anything to her about her constant borrowing or simply say “no” to all future requests, which, of

CRYPTOQUOTE

course, there will be.

— What Next?

Dear What Next?: If your neighbor isn’t working because she chooses not to, then say no. If she’s not working because she hasn’t been able to find a job then treat her as you would want to be treated if you were in her shoes. Dear Abby: My father, who is happily married to his third wife, recently came across some photos of his first wedding to my mother in 1961. Apparently, the walk down memory lane didn’t stop there for him. He asked his wife, who evidently agreed, if he could have a party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this event. I am appalled and kind of nauseated by the thought. Do you think I’m

overreacting? I have considered refusing the invitation. Should I just suck it up, or tell my father I think the idea is narcissistic, insensitive and foolish? — Sick to My Stomach Dear Sick To My Stomach: While you and I might consider his idea to be ill-conceived, resist the urge to indulge in name-calling. Let him hear from others that the idea is narcissistic, insensitive and foolish. And, by the way, you are not obligated to accept every invitation you receive. 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). Frustration is an energy zapper. But you can avoid the feeling by simply refusing to believe that life should be happening at a different pace. Affirm to yourself: I have all the time in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time you had an imaginary conversation with that wise version of yourself who sits inside the tiny cave of your heart. It will feel good to be completely candid about your feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll enjoy what you do, mostly because you resolve to enjoy it. Your attitude is stellar. You’ll receive invitations and other nifty perks as people respond to your smile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A terrific daydream helps you glimpse your future. You envision yourself having a great time achieving one of your life’s ambitions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have developed solid relationships, and you continue to put in the work to maintain the connection. An out-of-town friend may want to come for a visit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel lucky. Having that feeling and holding on to it automatically makes you luckier. The best part is that you attract good fortune that is extremely useful to others, as well as yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re about to grow your intellect and skill set. There is a strong social aspect to your learning style. You’ll find out more about your area of interest when you join clubs, groups, meet-ups and social networks.

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). You prefer to think the best of people. Sometimes they misbehave, and you give them a “free pass” anyway, assuming they didn’t mean it or didn’t know any better. You’d rather move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You speak words of kindness. You don’t want anything, it’s just that you genuinely notice what’s nice and see what’s remarkable about the people you meet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may realize that you’ve been psychically leaning on someone because you didn’t feel complete in some regard. Now you notice the void and start to fill it with enjoyable activities and entertainments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
