FLOOD CLEANUP

Classroom learning put to use in West Pittston

Students take on a real test By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – Jennifer Confletti’s walls were stripped to the studs, wire and ancient sub-flooring exposed. The flood mud and most of its stench was gone, but as nearly 40 West Side Career and Technology students stepped in for the first time, the amazement was audible. “Wow,” several said. “They got hit The fate of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Wilkes-Barre is in the hands of the Supreme Apostolic Signatora Tribunal in Rome – the “supreme court” of the Roman Catholic Church – which has agreed to hear the case for keeping the historic church open.

Preparing to repair and remodel it in time for Jennifer’s 10-month-old baby to celebrate Christmas back in the family’s own home. “What they do in school, they’ll be

Most of the 28 Luzerne County Council candidates are citing the county’s mountain of debt as a major issue, which raises questions about the exact amount owed and what may be done to pay it down faster. Under the current repayment schedule, the county owes $415.04 million in principal and interest from 2012 through 2027, county records show. This figure does not count portions of bond debt under the county’s name that will be funded by Petrilla the state for projects at Luzerne County Community College. County Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla said county officials are in the process of setting up a meeting with Moody’s Investors Service in New York to try to obtain a credit rating that could allow the county to refinance some of the debt. Petrilla said the county’s presentation to Moody’s, prepared with assistance from advisor Public Financial Management, will focus on the county’s success reducing spending and staff in recent years. Borrowing restrictions Commissioners also passed a debt management policy last year prohibiting the county from borrowing more money or restructuring debt to cover operating expenses – a past practice that contributed to the county’s debt load.

ZANESVILLE, Ohio — Sheriff’s deputies shot nearly 50 wild animals — including 18 rare Bengal tigers and 17 lions — in a biggame hunt across the Ohio coun-

tryside Wednesday after the owner of an exotic-animal park threw their cages open and committed suicide in what may have been one last act of spite against his neighbors and police. As homeowners nervously hid indoors, officers armed with high-powered rifles and shoot-tokill orders fanned out through fields and woods to hunt down 56 animals that had been turned loose from the Muskingum County Animal Farm by owner

Terry Thompson before he shot himself to death Tuesday. After an all-night hunt that extended into Wednesday afternoon, 48 animals were killed. Six others — three leopards, a grizzly bear and two monkeys — were captured and taken to the Columbus Zoo. A wolf was later found dead, leaving a monkey as the only animal still on the loose. Those destroyed included six See ANIMALS, Page 12A

NW Area picks Grevera as superintendent By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

UNION TWP. – The Northwest Area School Board voted 7-1 Wednesday night to offer its superintendent’s position to Ronald Grevera, who currently is the ele-

mentary school principal in the Crestwood School District. The school board earlier this month had narrowed the field to two candidates: Grevera and Joseph Gorham, elementary principal in the Northwest district.

Grevera and Gorham appeared at a public interview session at which district residents had the chance to question the candidates. After that session, the board decided upon Grevera. “They’re are both outstanding

men,” said board member Peter Lanza, who was the lone dissenting vote. “Overall, I thought they are even in qualifications and professionalism, but in my view, since Gorham is already in the health care and retirement pro-

grams, I thought we could better do financially with Gorham.” Lanza said that because of the fiscal pinch districts are facing, finances are an important issue and “that is the only reason for my vote.”. It is estimated that Grevera will be offered a salary of around $90,000 per year, plus benefits. According to his resume, Grevera is a graduate of the former Bishop O’Reilly High School, Kingston, and Wilkes University. He has done graduate work at Marywood University and Indiana University of Pa.. He has a master’s degree in education from Wilkes. He will succeed Gary Powlus, who has been serving as interim superintendent. Asked about a potential timeline for Grevera to officially assume the post, Powlus estimated that it will probably take 30 days after Grevera notifies Crestwood and is able to obtain a contractual release from his current position. Besides Crestwood, Grevera has served as a middle school principal in the Panther Valley District and assistant principal in the North Schuylkill District. Before the vote, Gorham offered a presentation on an antibullying program that he said has been implemented this term. He said the district “has taken a proactive” stance in attempt to head off bullying, and in conjunction with this endeavor, he said Northwest Area has obtained the Olewus Bullying Prevention Program, at an estimated cost of $18,000, which specifically outlines the causes of bullying and measures teachers and administrators can take to forestall it. The board also approved John Sotelo as junior varsity basketball coach, succeeding Jeff Kreidler, whose resignation became effective Wednesday. The board announced vacant coaching positions in baseball and track & field will be advertised. The board also voted to grant a tax refund of $661.2 to Genevieve Kuczynski, based upon an assessment change, and accepted a bid of $8,650 from Jeremy Kishbaugh for excavation work at the intermediate school parking lot. Revisions in the school calendar were made, including designating Dec. 7 as an in-service day with classes reduced to a halfday, and April 2, 3, 4 as flood make-up days.

Clerks’ ID leads to arrest of suspect By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

LARKSVILLE – Two store clerks who identified a thief as having bad teeth led police to arrest a woman on charges she held up a business that sells adult-oriented merchandise. Christina A. Shulde, 33, of Moss Street, Plymouth, was arraigned Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on a robbery charge. She was jailed at the county prison for lack of $5,000 bail.

Police allege Shulde robbed Adult World on East Main Street on Oct. 11. According to the criminal complaint: A clerk at Adult World told police a Shulde woman, later identified as Shulde, entered the store on Oct. 11. When the clerk approached Shulde to verify her age, she placed her hand in a pocket, gesturing she had a

The state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Scranton’s status as a “distressed” city under a state program does not prevent it from having to pay arbitration awards to police and fire union members. The high court ruled 6-to-1 against the city in a case that was closely watched by public-sector unions and Pennsylvania municipalities. The decision overturned previous decisions in the city’s favor in county court and in the state Commonwealth Court. The city had challenged the right of an arbitration panel to award benefits to police officer and firefighters that went above the terms of the city’s financial recovery plan under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act, often referred to as Act 47.

HARRISBURG--Dr.SusanFortSordoni,the founder of the Volunteers in Medicine clinic on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilkes-Barre, was honored Wednesday for her contributions to society. At a luncheon at the governor’s residence in Harrisburg, Sordoni, 65, of Harveys Lake, was named a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania. She and eight other women were presented with medals and citations for their achievements from Gov. Tom Corbett. He was not present but his wife, first lady Susan Corbett, was. So too were three former first ladies. Since the first group was named in1949, fewer than 500 women have been recognized as Distinguished Daughters of Pennsylvania. “The women honored today show great commitment and dedication to improving the world around them,” the governor said Wednesday. “The leadership shown by each of them is impressive, and they represent Pennsylvania with great distinction.” Former King’s College President Thomas J. O’Hara nominated Sordoni for the honor. In his nomination letter, O’Hara said, “A mother of five children, Susan has been an inspiration to women in Northeastern Pennsylvania for four decades. Since the early 1970s, she has been a tireless community volunteer having served as a board member and community volunteer and activist for many organizations and causes.” She not only founded Volunteers in Medicine, a free medical and dental clinic for the underinsured, which opened its doors in WilkesBarre in spring 2007, but she is also a hands-on practitioner. She volunteers her professional services at the clinic every Tuesday evening. The honor is the latest for Sordoni. Several organizations have bestowed recognition on her in recent years. Earlier this year she was honored with the Anti-Defamation League’s Distinguished Community Service Award. She said sitting in a room with more than100 former recipients, former first ladies and the new honorees was “an honor and a privilege.” “It’s even more important to be associated with women whose ideals and principles are so high and who go to work every day to make the world a better place,” Sordoni said.

Scranton must pay awards

Police said they questioned Shulde’s husband, John A. Shulde, and he said his wife admitted to him that she robbed Adult World and used money to buy drugs.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Michael Nelsen was yawning at breakfast Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre. Nelsen has good reason to be a bit weary. He, Edwin Bond and Bulla “Eli” Lepen have been walking 20 to 30 miles each day, starting in San Francisco on March 7. Their trek

will end in New York City by Halloween. If you do the math, you will see that the three men – Bond, 28, Lepen, 29, and Nelsen, 25 – have logged more than 3,000 miles on their crooked trek across the U.S. With Wilkes-Barre in the rearview mirror, the trio headed to the Poconos Wednesday, and the NYC skyline is

just a week or so away. Bond, the group’s spokesman, describes himself and his co-walkers as “three magicians walking across the country.” They said they worked in Hawaii as street performers -- magicians, jugglers, and balloon artists --

Township supervisors George Venesky and Ann Kijek were ordered by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke not to have any contact with one another except at township meetings. Whittaker issued the order on Tuesday in response to a private criminal complaint Venesky had filed against Kijek in April accusing her with harassment. Venesky claimed Kijek pinned his wrist between a door and door jamb when he attempted to keep her from entering a private meeting at the township municipal building on April 13. The meeting was with an attorney regarding a civil lawsuit in which Kijek is not involved. Venesky filed the complaint with District Judge Ronald Swank, but the hearing was transferred before Whittaker due to a conflict of interest. WILKES-BARRE

Ward 17 voting at Meyers By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Voters in Ward 17 in Wilkes-Barre will cast ballots at Meyers High School instead of at St. Clement & St Peter’s Church next month. The Luzerne County Election Board made the change during a Tuesday meeting because the church has opened up a day care center, Bureau of Elections Director Leonard Piazza said. The high school is one-tenth of a mile west from the church on Hanover Street, at the intersection with Carey Avenue. Piazza said the county is also hoping to move the voting location for one of two wards currently set up at nearby Kistler Elementary to Meyers, but that can’t happen before the spring primaries. The board also approved the 2011 municipal notice of elec-

tion, which lists all candidates and offices they seek, judges up for retention, as well as referenda on the ballot in Nanticoke, Pittston and the townships of Plymouth and Rice, and polling locations. Piazza noted information is available on the county website, www.luzerncounty.org, including locator maps showing ward boundary lines. And the board amended the bipartisan election assistance team, adding Paul Stebbins as the Republican, and Arron Mark Granoski as municipal election warehouse assistant. Piazza said logic and accuracy tests of the electronic voting machines will begin today and continue “up to and including election day.” “Everything is moving along swimmingly,” Piazza said, joking that he worried the bureau must be doing something wrong for it all to seem so right.

County hopefuls’ absence noted Home rule transition team urges council candidates to help in the switchover. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County’s Home Rule Transition Committee has been hard at work preparing for the switch to home rule government that will begin in January, members said Wednesday. Members have drafted an ethics code for inclusion in the overarching administrative code they are also piecing together. They have written an application form for seats on boards, authorities and commissions, and are in the process of composing job descriptions for county positions. And they have collected 70 appli-

Former county budget/finance chief Tom Pribula, who worked extensively with county debt and bonds, said Wednesday a credit rating is a positive step, though much of the outstanding debt won’t be eligible for refinancing for several years. Bonds usually have “call protection” that guarantees investors a percentage of return for a specific period of time, preventing the bonds from being “called back” or refinanced at lower interest rates until the protection expires, Pribula said. The county provided call protection

cations for the county manager position, though they won’t be able to read those applications until after the election. But they are hoping that candidates contending to run the county government next year would make more of an effort to participate in the process and learn about home rule. “It’s a little disheartening that a lot of the candidates are not coming to our meetings,” committee Vice Chairman Rob Bakewell said. “It’s important if we’re going to transition to understand what’s going on in our county during that transition.” The committee held a special meeting Wednesday at King’s College to provide an overview of the home rule government that will take effect Jan. 2 and to clear up misconceptions about home rule. Members said they hoped

to insure investors would be willing to take the risk of buying its bonds, Pribula said. These investors wouldn’t release the county from this interest repayment early because they’d miss out on investment income, he said. The county and investors also must honor the call protection because it’s a legal obligation on both sides of the transaction based on the official bond offering statement, he said. For example, the county owes $107.5 million in principal and interest on four bonds issued in 2008, and the investors’ call protection is locked in until middle

He encouraged the 11 council members elected in November to prepare to take office by participating in the transition process, though they have no binding obligation to do so before January. He added the current committee members hope to “turn over the reins” to the elected council members. He also encouraged them to

pay close attention to the budget the present county commissioners pass and council will inherit to ensure it is “truly fair and balanced.” In a question-and-answer session about the transition, committee members also addressed home rule’s effect on county employees. Committee member Rick Heffron said the county’s home rule charter addresses only the positions of row officers and the county commissioners, which will be eliminated, but the way union contracts and at-will employees are handled by the county will not change. Committee member C.J. Kersey added there will be no change to the county’s employee pension obligations other than a change in the make-up of the county retirement board.

County taxpayers must pay roughly $25 million annually through 2026, wrapping up with a final payment of around $21.3 million in 2027 under the current repayment schedule. Pribula resigned in December 2010 after clashes with the administration over budgeting philosophies after more than two years as budget finance chief.

Bond said people often ask why they are walking; if they are doing it for a cause or charity. While they are not personally contributing financially to any specific groups, they list four charities on their website that they urge people to support: Surf2Cure.org, Relay for Life, Woontanara Aid and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

They have seen Yellowstone Na-

They have received media coverage and have met many people from all walks of life. At journey’s end they will have walked more than 3,400 miles. As they left the Econo Lodge on Route 309 Wednesday morning they had about130 miles to go to New York -about eight days more of walking.

Cyberbullying bill passes in Pa. Senate

A bill that would create the criminal offense of cyberbullying by minors and change the law in response to the “kids for cash” scandal in Luzerne County has the approval of the state Senate. Senators voted unanimously Wednesday to send the bill to the House. The changes would make it easier for juvenile offenders to get the least restrictive punishment, and it would create a presumption of indigency that entitles them to a court-appointed lawyer. As for cyberbullying, the bill would create a third-degree misdemeanor for those under 18 who 18 films or photographs someone else without their knowledge in a state of nudity, or distributes such an image without their permission for hurtful purposes.

U.S. secretary of state is trying to rekindle peace process after 10 years of war

Clinton makes an unannounced visit

By LAURA KING Los Angeles Times

KABUL, Afghanistan — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Afghanistan on Wednesday night on an unannounced visit aimed at restarting a peace process left in tatters by the assassination last month of the country’s chief peace negotiator. Clinton was to meet today with President Hamid Karzai, senior Afghan officials and others. Security was extremely tight for the visit, which comes less than six weeks after a sustained attack on the U.S. Embassy compound by insurgents. Afghanistan’s already tenuous peace process was plunged into disarray with the Sept. 21 killing of Burhanuddin Rabbani, head of the country’s High Peace Council, which was given the responsibility of bringing the Tali-

ban insurgents to the bargaining table. After Rabbani was slain by an assailant who had posed as a Taliban peace envoy, Karzai said he saw little point in trying to hold direct talks with the Taliban. He asserted that negotiations could only resume with the cooperation of Pakistan, which has long served as a haven for insurgent leaders. Some members of the Karzai administration said there was evidence that Pakistan’s main spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, was complicit in Rabbani’s assassination, but Karzai stopped short of making such an accusation. Clinton’s visit coincides with a thaw in what had been chilly relations between the Obama administration and Karzai. A new civilian-military team, headed by U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crock-

er and Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John Allen, who now commands Western troops in Afghanistan, has taken a more conciliatory tone toward the Afghan leader, who in turn has lately backed

away from anti-U.S. statements. Prior to Rabbani’s assassination, Clinton had signaled that the administration placed a high priority on initiating negotiations with the Taliban and other

insurgent groups. Even in the wake of the killing, she has indicated that talks with the Haqqani network — a virulent Taliban offshoot — might still be possible.

Poll: Most Americans unsettled on Republican challenger to Obama

Sheriff’s deputies in southwest Florida said a convenience store manager shot a robber in the leg before he scooped up her 1-year-old child and tried to carry her out. Thirty-two-year-old 32-yearold Daniel Ramont Hernandez died at a hospital after the Tuesday afternoon shooting in Naples.

But about half of those questioned think president does not deserve re-election.

Store clerk shoots, kills would-be robber

By CHARLES BABINGTON and JENNIFER AGIESTA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans have yet to find a Republican they’d clearly prefer over President Barack Obama, although half say the president does not deserve re-election. Among Republicans, the

desire to oust Obama is clear, according to a new AP-GfK poll. But it has not resolved divisions over the choice of a nominee. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is reasonably popular, but he has not pulled away from the field. Former pizza company executive Herman Cain

runs close to Romney as the candidate Republicans would most like to see on the ballot, but many Republicans are reluctant to back a man who has never held office. Texas Gov. Rick Perry lags in the poll, which was conducted before Tuesday night’s combative debate in

Las Vegas. In that two-hour forum, several candidates sharply criticized Cain’s tax proposals, and a newly energized Perry hit Romney hard on immigration. In the poll, Romney was the choice of 30 percent of Republicans, with Cain about even at 26 percent.

Perry was preferred by 13 percent, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas topped the list of those in single digits. Among all adults surveyed, half said Obama should not be re-elected, and 46 percent said he should be. That continues his gradual slide since May.

WASHINGTON – After the Senate voted 82-17 Wednesday to approve the nomination of Robert Mariani to be a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the Scranton labor attorney reacted with a mixture of relief and happiness. But after briefly relishing the realization that the long nominating process – he was nominated by President Barack Obama in December 2010 for the alreadyvacant seat – was finally over, Mariani started thinking ahead to what he hopes to accomplish when he takes the bench, probably later this year. “What I want to make sure is that I do the kind of job that makes everyone understand that I am a fair man and that I will make the best decision I can” about the cases and litigants before him “without reference to who they are and what is their status in life,” said the 61-year-old Mariani.

THE TIMES LEADER

“No matter who you are, you will be treated fairly, and if the law entitles you to relief you will get it.” Robert Mariani New federal judge

He added he is grateful for the support he received from both Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton and GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville. “No matter who you are, you will be treated fairly, and if the law entitles you to relief you will get it. I understand that my role is to apply the law, not to make the law,” he said. The outcome of the confirmation vote was not in doubt, but 17 Republicans voted against Mariani’s nomination without explanation. Mariani’s nomination was approved in July by the Senate Judi-

ciary Committee in a unanimous voice vote, with 10 of the 18 committee members present, including four Republicans. Casey spoke on the floor before the vote on Mariani, urging lawmakers to vote for both Pennsylvania nominees. Both understand the value and obligations of public service, Casey said, and both would make excellent federal judges. Also among those voting against Mariani was the Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Messages left for those and several other Republican senators who voted against Mariani’s nomination were not returned Wednesday. It is possible that Mariani’s status as a longtime attorney for labor unions played a role in the Republican no votes, but it is hard to know because none spoke on the floor about their reasons, said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond Law School and an expert on judicial nominations.

Judge rules Bonner not entitled to county pension By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge has determined former county jury commissioner Jerry Bonner is not entitled to collect a pension based on his federal conviction related to his service in another public office. Senior Judge Kenneth Brown on Wednesday granted the county retirement board’s motion to dismiss Bonner’s challenge of its decision to deny Bonner pension benefits he accumulated during his tenure as jury commissioner from 1998 to January 2010. The board determined Bonner was not entitled to the benefits, which equaled $132 a month, based on his guilty plea in December 2009 to corrupt receipt of a reward for official action. Prosecutors said Bonner, who was a member of the Luzerne County Housing Authority, passed a $1,400 bribe from a contractor to fellow housing authority member William Maguire.

Under state pension law, a person convicted of a crime related to their public employment is precluded from collecting a pension. Bonner’s attorney, Stefanie Salavantis, had argued the law did not apply to Bonner because the criminal activity was related to his position on the housing authority, not as jury commissioner. The county argued the pension law did not specifically require that the criminal activity be connected to the office for which a person had earned the retirement

benefits. The housing authority is a public office, therefore Bonner’s conviction would trigger the forfeiture law, the county said. Brown agreed with the county. “The plain language of (the law) … contains no requirement that the pension benefits that are forfeited be necessarily connected to the public employment related to the crime the public employee committed,” Brown said in a 10-page opinion. Salavantis said Wednesday she had not yet seen the ruling and would need to discuss the matter with Bonner before determining whether to appeal the decision.

MEETINGS Dallas Twp. to alter gas amendment DALLAS TWP. – Officials announced Tuesday a few tweaks will be made to a zoning amendment related to natural gas development before it is voted on next week. A public hearing was held on the proposed zoning change last week at which residents and attorneys weighed in on the document designed to define rules for natural gas development. The proposed amendment sets limitations on various natural gas facilities, from pipelines to wastewater treatment facilities, and allows most activities to occur within the agricultural district under several conditions. Resident Diane Dreier said she was able to attend the public hearing, but was concerned that a final draft of the amendment would not be available for public review before it was voted on. Solicitor Thomas Brennan told her some of the comments and suggestions were received the day of the hearing, and therefore he could not get them in the draft in time for public review. However, he insisted the changes are only minor ones that will make the document more concise and straightforward. He also said there will be some adjustments in setback distances to ensure spacing is coordinated. Brennan said he didn’t know when a final copy of the amendment would be available to the public, but said he would be sure to alert residents if any substantive changes were made. The board will vote on the proposed zoning amendment at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24 in the municipal building. Sarah Hite

sources from natural gas drilling. The ordinance limits mineral extraction, including gas and oil drilling, ancillary facilities, hydraulic fracturing water treatment and withdrawal facilities, and water reuse storage facilities to the borough’s manufacturing district. However, oil and gas pipelines will be permitted in residential districts, the highway commercial district and the recreational commercial districts. Under the ordinance, an environmental impact statement must be completed, outlining what the environmental consequences may be from the activity. Resident Michelle Boice strongly urged council members to work with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Fish Commission to protect the lake waters from being used for fracking. Fracking is a process in which a combination of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into the ground under high pressure to crack the layers of shale deposits, releasing the natural gas.

Linskey expressed concern that since the agreement was finalized Wesley Village has expanded greatly including homes and townhouses. Linskey also announced he is considering legal action against the district for his removal by the board as Luzerne Intermediate Unit representative. He said that if a person feels his rights have been violated it is the only course of action open to him. Superintendent George Cosgrove reported the latest direction from the state Department of Education is that the district treat the days closed due to the flood as snow days. He said the department might reconsider this decision later in the year depending on future actual snow days. William Bell

Wilkes gets city’s OK for new science building The Zoning Hearing Board approves one day care center while rejecting a second. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The city Zoning Hearing Board on Wednesday unanimously gave Wilkes University the go-ahead to construct a new four-story sci-

POLICE BLOTTER WILKES-BARRE – City police reported the following: • Rocco’s Tire at 533 Hazle Ave. reported a break-in Wednesday in which a vehicle was damaged and mechanic’s tools were stolen from the garage. • Wayne Minott of 117 Prospect St. reported Wednesday that he was assaulted in his residence by an intruder. Minott said he was struck with a bat and cut his hand trying to take a knife away from his attacker. Minott fled to a neighbor’s home to call police around 3 a.m. The intruder was described as a black male, approximately 30, wearing black clothing and a dark baseball hat. Police said they searched the area and did not find anyone matching that description. EDWARDSVILLE – A man was arraigned Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on evidence of drunken driving. Peter A. Broody, 32, of Hoyt Street, Pringle, was charged with two counts of driving under the influence, and one count each of fleeing or attempting to

ence building along South River Street. The four-member board heard a short presentation by school officials, attorney Mark Van Loon of Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald and Chad Lello, an engineer with Pennoni Associates, on the project. Construction is expected to begin in the spring on the 74,250square-foot building that will house classrooms, offices and

laboratories for science, health and engineering students. The building will be on the school campus and will be located next to the Stark Learning Center. The board also voted on separate requests for the operation of a day care center at 780 S. Main St. and a child care center at 18 Forrest St. It granted a special exception to Michelle O’Brien to set up A Place to Grow child care in an of-

fice building on Forrest Street. She would be able to accept up to 45 children and employ 15 people. “I have no problem with it,” said Susan Lewis, a neighbor. The neighborhood is quiet and parking is not a problem, she said. O’Brien said there would be off-street parking and the children would not have deal with traffic to get to the play area.

Police allege Broody was spotted leaving Joey’s Joint on Plymouth Street and refused to stop for an officer at about 9:20 p.m. Monday. Police pursued Broody until he was blocked in by a police cruiser at Main Street and Hillside Avenue. Police said Broody had a strong odor of alcoholic beverages and refused to submit to a blood test at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Nov. 2 before District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston.

Police stopped Altieri when he was spotted driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee with expired registration and inspection stickers on Shoemaker Street at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.

SWOYERSVILLE – A man was arraigned Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges he attempted to swallow prescription tablets and was driving a vehicle with expired registration and inspection stickers. Anthony M. Altieri, 26, of South Sprague Avenue, Kingston, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, tampering

But in voting against the request for the Shining Stars day care center in the lower section of the New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church, traffic was an issue. A main worry was that the vehicles traveling south on the street would back up traffic while waiting to turn left into the center’s lot. “We’re only starting off with 12 children,” said Theresa TylerSmith, the operator of the

planned day care center. Further increases would be dependent upon whether the center meets standards for the development of the children, she added. She said she would advise parents to turn onto Division Street and then onto Beech Street. That would bring them back to South Main Street, where they would be able to make a right turn into the lot without having to cross the oncoming traffic lane.

Man charged in DUI homicide Dodge Neon that broke down on the interstate, stopping on the shoulder near Exit 141 at about 11:30 p.m. Paisley said Bahrey volunteered to push the Dodge, and after a short while, she became tired and they decided to wait and call for assistance. Gorbea-Lespier told state police he was returning home after attending a picnic in Albrightsville. He admitted to drinking alcohol at the picnic, according to the criminal complaint. Paisley suffered injuries in the crash and was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Gorbea-Lespier was not injured. An adult driver in Pennsylvania is considered legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Oct. 26 before Sharkey.

Williams garners support as candidate for council

believe the voters of Luzerne County have an opportunity that has not existed in decades. That is the ability to elect 11 Luzerne County Council members for our new county government on Nov. 8. It may well be the most important local election of our lifetimes. I hope we do not suffer the greatest malady of many local elections: voter apathy. Please vote. And consider the candidates carefully. Our future depends on it. Please consider Rick Williams as one of those candidates. Rick has a master’s degree in architecture and a master’s degree in business administration. He is smart, honest and exhibits strong ethical values. Rick is a small-business owner, not a politician. Rick is running because he believes that everyone should give back to their community. He has served on many nonprofit boards. Simply put, Rick and his family live here and he wants to make it better for all of us. As an Independent candidate, Rick could not run in the primary election. So look for Rick’s name toward the end of the Luzerne County Council ballot. Phil Decker Dallas Township

OTHER OPINION: FOOD GUIDELINES

Industry has duty to fight obesity

N THE FACE of strong pushback from the food industry, government officials are making concessions instead of forging ahead with a multi-pronged effort to battle childhood obesity. Earlier this year, new guidelines for marketing food to children were announced, a collaboration of the Federal Trade Commission, the Agriculture Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The voluntary standards set maximum levels for sugar, fat and sodium content and asked companies not to market foods that exceed them to children ages 2 through 17. The guidelines would apply to ads on television, in stores, on the Internet and in other venues. Originally, they also would have applied to food packag-

ing, but Tony the Tiger roared and officials backed off. Although the guidelines are voluntary, food producers complained that they are too broad and could limit marketing of almost all of the nation’s favorite foods. The companies ramped up the rhetoric with claims that failure to comply would trigger some sort of retaliation. About 17 percent of the nation’s children are obese, a rate that is three times higher than it was in 1980. This shouldn’t be a fight about marketing and advertising, focusing on the outside of food containers. It should be about their contents. Cutting down on the consumption of fat, sugar and salt would be good for America’s children, and the grownups, too. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

efficiency and integrity in county government, to keep government transparent and to hold those in government responsible and accountable. If elected, Kathleen Dobash will do so. She has pledged that she will: 1) Spend whatever time is necessary to be able to make informed decisions. 2) Object when government attempts to spend more money than it receives. 3) Report to the news media any violation of the home rule charter. 4) Make all decisions based on what is in the best interest of taxpayers’ money. 5) Work to eliminate waste from county government. I am voting for Kathy Dobash, and for candidates with her political philosophy, for Luzerne County Council; I urge voters on Nov. 8 to do the same. Dr. Frank C. Polidora Drums

Writer believes Dobash Reader blames Obama will govern with integrity for widening racial divide

o change and to improve are two different things. Whether the upcoming experiment in Luzerne County government will be an improvement is yet to be seen. It will be a change though. Professor of political science Edward Erler has said that it is an intrinsic feature of a system in which administration and regulation replace politics as the ordinary means of making policy that the administrative state always seeks to extend its reach and magnify its power. A non-elected, full-time administrator will replace three, full-time elected commissioners in running Luzerne County’s government. Politics will be replaced by administration and regulation, democracy by bureaucracy, presumably in the interest of efficiency and integrity. But bureaucracy is notable for its inefficiency and administration for acting in its own self-interest. It will be the duty of the 11 elected parttime county council members to look out for the interests of the voters and taxpayers in Luzerne County by overseeing the county manager and the county bureaucracy. Only they can rein in attempts to expand administrative power. It is our duty as voters to elect county council members who will do this and who will work to produce and protect value,

s I finished reading a book about Martin Luther King Jr., I wondered if President Barack Obama is the dream of which he spoke? My opinion: not a chance. Obama continually promotes a racial divide with his segregating comments. He makes a point to separate races when speaking of jobs (unemployment rate highest since 1984 for black Americans) and education. King did not envision a future of a continually growing welfare state for America or a racial divide. He was not looking for handouts for the black community or separate buses. His vision for the future of our country was, as he put it, “… that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” He stood not only for blacks, but poor whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Obama continually pits Americans against each other instead of trying to bring this country together. I’d have to say, if anything, he’d be viewed by Dr. King in the same way that King viewed Malcolm X – respectfully, but as a dangerous radical doing more harm than good to his own race and country.

Government needs to balance its checkbook

ow long would a business successfully operate if it burned through money with the same reckless abandon as does our presidential administration? Months? Days? The mountains of debt from needless spending would put the business under in no time. A profitable business operates efficiently while spending money wisely. Unfortunately, we can’t expect our current administration to behave the same way. While millions of people face unemployment and job growth is stagnant, President Obama continues to pump out proposals for billions in new spending and debt. A balanced budget amendment would force Washington to learn how to balance its checkbook. Failed stimulus programs aren’t what we need right now. I fully support Congressmen Tom Marino and Lou Barletta and their stances on the balanced budget amendment. Our nation should stick to the same standards under which profitable and efficient private businesses thrive. Devin Day East Stroudsburg

Pro-life candidates should receive votes

fter recently watching a program on public television that featured the Aztecs being sacrificed to appease the gods, I could not help but make the connection between the horror of this practice and the human sacrifice of today’s world – namely, abortion. When will the killing stop? Please, inform yourself before voting. Is the candidate in favor of abortion or not? Claire Carr Kingston

It’s time for lawmakers to join in the sacrifice

hen are you guys in Washington going to start to help? You want everyone from a kid fresh out of college to senior citizens and the disabled to take cutbacks, and you aren’t doing a thing. You’re not even talking about it. Why not? When are you going to step up and help this country get back on its feet? Look at all the salaries and do some math; the entire Senate could cut its salaries by a third and still make a great salary. Senators make more than $174,000 a year, plus benefits.

Hard work and generosity put library back on track WEST PITTSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Libraries, businesses and volunteers from near and far stepped up to help the flooded-out West Pittston Library reopen in a new temporary location. The library on Wednesday welcomed patrons to its short-term home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the former Blockbuster Video store in Insalacoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shopping Center at Wyoming and Boston avenues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with coffee and donuts at a low-key grand opening. Floodwaters inundated the 2,400-square-foot, 1920s-era library building on Exeter Avenue along with most other buildings and homes in low-lying parts of the borough when the Susquehanna River crested at a record 42.66 feet on Sept. 9. About 15,000 books and all furnishings were destroyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flood insurance wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover our losses. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have enough to get the building back in shape, but in terms of furnishing it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no money for that.

So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asking people for used furniture in the meantime,â&#x20AC;? said library director Anne Bramblett Barr. The library received that and much more. During the two and a half weeks staff and volunteers spent cleaning out the damaged building and moving about 11,500 books that were saved to dry storage space donated by Cliff and Ruth Melberger, Barr noticed the vacant video store and showed it to library board president John Panzitta, who agreed it was perfect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really designed exactly how a library should be, with an outdoor slot for returns, a big, beautiful circulation desk. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for a better location. We called Sandy Insalaco Sr. and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Anything for the library.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting this rent-free, all the utilities are covered. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a perfect opportunity to get us back on our feet,â&#x20AC;? Barr said. Barr thought the hard part would be furnishing the space.

HOW TO HELP

Sandra Panzitta, of West Pittston, a self-described avid reader, pages through a volume from the stacks of the newly reopened West Pittston Library in its temporary location at Insalacoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shopping Center in West Pittston on Wednesday afternoon. The libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Exeter Avenue site was badly damaged in the September flooding, with books, computers and furniture lost. The Insalaco family provided space in the shopping center off Wyoming Avenue, where the library will remain until January. The libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reopening took place Wednesday.

Anyone who can donate a muchneeded copier or laminator to the West Pittston Library should call 654-9847. Monetary donations can be made to the West Pittston Library Recovery Fund of the Luzerne Foundation, 140 Main St., Luzerne, PA 18709. The temporary library in Insalacoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shopping Center is open noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; noon to 6 p.m. Fridays; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

Not so much. Allied Services provided 20 computers, a printer and a technician to install it all. After staff sent emails to all Pennsylvania libraries asking for furniture, the library got invitations to send a moving van to Millersville University and Bucks County Public Library for bookshelves and computer tables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just sent out a request â&#x20AC;Ś and we were overwhelmed with the response.

Barbara Frankovich, a library regular who was browsing through the fiction section on Wednesday, called the temporary space â&#x20AC;&#x153;fabulous. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very impressed. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like

the old building â&#x20AC;Ś the oldness, the quaintness,â&#x20AC;? she said. Barr expects renovations at the permanent site to be complete by the end of the year and to be back in sometime in January.

STUDENTS

Dec. 22. After an initial look at the house, Harrison told his students the scope of the work: Tear down remaining ceiling plaster and level the ceiling; replace a curved bottom on a narrow stairway with a landing and two steps so a removable banister can be put in to make it easier to move furniture upstairs; replace one wall with a beam so two front rooms become one; install a bathroom in the area that houses the kitchen, and build a laundry room onto what is currently the back porch. If time allows, they may build a new back porch. Walls will be insulated and new sheetrock and flooring installed. Asked if they could get the work done in time, students Robert Schrack and Robert Lewis answered with a confident

yes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big job, Schrack, of Edwardsville, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get real experience.â&#x20AC;? In a phone interview, Jennifer Confletti said the small residence was a first home for her and her husband, bought about three years ago. She said that when approached with the idea, her first reaction was shock that the school would do the work for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I was so moved by the compassion of the school and students, offering to help,â&#x20AC;? she said. The flood may have been a tragedy for the young family just starting out, but the new mother saw only the positive: The modifications would make it a better home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything happens for a reason,â&#x20AC;? the West Pittston native said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look at the bright side.â&#x20AC;?

nounced in 2008 that Sacred Heart would close as part of a diocesanwide church consolidation plan. The foundation launched the appeals process, beginning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as required by church law â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by asking Martino to reverse his decision. He declined. The foundation climbed up the hierarchy ladder, appealing to the Apostolic Nuncio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative in the U.S. -- then to various departments in the Vatican. Each time an appeal was rejected, the group moved to the next level. The Apostolic Signatora Tribunal, essentially the Supreme Court of the church, was the last chance for a reversal, and the foundation knew the odds were historically slim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the requests to be heard are stopped at the doorstep,â&#x20AC;? foundation spokeswoman Mary Jean Tarantini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited about this chance to be heard by the supreme court of the church.â&#x20AC;? The foundation had made two

Hanna defended the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to kill the animals but said the deaths of the Bengal tigers were especially tragic. There are only about 1,400 of the endangered cats left in the world, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard 18 I was still in disbelief,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most magnificent creature in the entire world, the tiger is.â&#x20AC;?

separate appeals. The first was to reverse the â&#x20AC;&#x153;suppressionâ&#x20AC;? of Sacred Heart Parish, a necessary step under church law when two or more parishes are merged. The second was to reverse the closing of the building itself and to stop what the Catholic Church calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;the reduction to the profane use of the church.â&#x20AC;? Translation: Ending the use of the church for sacred rites and purposes, and opening it to use for secular purposes or by other religions. A letter sent to the foundation from the Apostolic Signatora notes the appeal regarding the suppression has â&#x20AC;&#x153;expired,â&#x20AC;? meaning the appeal can go no further and the suppression stands. But the last sentence of the one-page letter says the appeal â&#x20AC;&#x153;regarding the Church of The Sacred Heart is proceeding.â&#x20AC;? Foti said the next step will be made by the Vatican, which will set a date for a hearing. Incidentally, she added, she will not be allowed into the hearing. The foundation is represented by two â&#x20AC;&#x153;advocates,â&#x20AC;? or church law attorneys. Sacred Heart was officially closed this summer, celebrating its final Mass June 19. Foti and

other members had considered a full-time vigil, taking turns sitting in the church to prevent the diocese from closing it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a tactic that has worked in Boston â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but decided against it. Foti said the diocese had agreed to keep all church property and assets frozen until the appeals are resolved. Asked about the news regarding the appeal, Diocese of Scranton spokesman Bill Genello issued a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the appeal was filed Bishop (Joseph) Bambera expressed respect for the process and is committed to implementing the decision that is rendered by the Apostolic Signatora with regard to this matter.â&#x20AC;? In the meantime, the Sacred Heart Foundation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting idle. Foti said the foundation plans a â&#x20AC;&#x153;family-style dinnerâ&#x20AC;? Nov. 26 at 5 p.m. at the Ramada Inn on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. Cost is $25 per person and reservations must be sent with payment by Nov. 12 to Mary Ann Petrenchak, 25 Parkview Drive, Plains, PA, 18705. The event is open to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just to remind people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still here and still fighting,â&#x20AC;? Foti said.

told motorists, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caution exotic animalsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay in vehicle.â&#x20AC;? Officers were ordered to kill the animals instead of trying to bring them down with tranquilizers for fear that those hit with darts would escape in the darkness before they dropped and would later regain consciousness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These animals were on the move, they were showing aggressive behavior,â&#x20AC;? Sheriff Matt Lutz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the nightfall hit, our biggest concern was having these animals roaming.â&#x20AC;? The sheriff would not speculate why Thompson killed himself and why he left open the cages and fences at his 73-acre preserve, dooming the animals he seemed to love so much. Thompson, 62, had had repeated run-ins with the law and his neighbors. Lutz said the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office had received numerous complaints since 2004 about animals escaping onto neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property. The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office also said Thompson had been charged over the years with ani-

mal cruelty, animal neglect and allowing animals to roam. He had gotten out of federal prison just last month after serving a year for possessing unregistered guns. John Ellenberger, a neighbor, speculated Thompson freed the animals to get back at neighbors and police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody much cared for him,â&#x20AC;? Ellenberger said. Angie McElfresh, who lives in an apartment near the farm and hunkered down with her family in fear, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it could have been an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;f-youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to everybody around him.â&#x20AC;? Thompson had rescued some of the animals at his preserve and purchased many others, said Columbus Zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters. It was not immediately clear how Thompson managed to support the preserve and for what purpose it was operated, since it was not open to the public. But Thompson had appeared on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rachael Ray Showâ&#x20AC;? in 2008 as an animal handler for a zoologist guest, said show spokeswoman Lauren Nowell.

Great for openers

By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — NBA owners and players ended negotiations Wednesday after more than eight hours. Federal mediator George Cohen said the two sides would resume bargaining Thursday afternoon. Owners had to leave to attend board of governors meetings Wednesday evening through midday Thursday. “The discussions have been directandconstructive,andasfaras we are concerned, we are here to continue to help assist the parties to endeavor to reach an agreement,” Cohen said. The two sides met for more than 24 hours in a 32-hour span. Without a deal this week, Commissioner David Stern might have to decide when a next round of cancellations would be necessary. The season was supposed to begin Nov. 1, but all games through Nov. 14 have been scrapped, costing players about $170 million in salaries. Cohen said players and owners met in a variety of settings during mediation, sometimes in subcommittees, other times in groups as large as 40 people. “Everyoneisextremelyfocused on the core issues, the difficult issues that confront them,” he said. Stern left after talks surpassed the seven-hour mark to attend an owners’ planning committee meeting at another hotel. He departed with Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, the planning committee chairman, and NBA president of league and basketball operations Joel Litvin. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, the league’s lead negotiator, and Spurs owner Peter Holt, who heads the labor relations committee, remained to lead the talks with players. Stern hoped to bring a deal to his owners during their two days of board meetings; otherwise, he warned more games might be canceled. Already100 games have been lost. It was unclear whether the two sides were closing the divide between them on two main issues, the division of revenues and the structure of the salary cap system. See NBA, Page 3B

Cardinals grind out Game 1 win vs. Texas By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Pinch-hitter Allen Craig singled in the go-ahead run off reliever Alexi Ogando in the sixth on a sinking line drive that dropped just in front of right fielder Nelson Cruz, and the St. Louis Cardinals led the Texas Rangers 3-2 after six innings Wednesday night in a chilly World Series opener. On a night when all the runs were driven in with opposite-field hits to right, Lance Berkman put St. Louis ahead with a two-run single in the fourth against C.J.

Persa, Northwestern offense still offer quite a challenge By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

he drive through flood-ravaged Shickshinny is so demoralizing, it’s a wonder anyone around town can still smile. Ever-present reminders of businesses lost, houses destroyed and lives shattered run down Route 11, line Canal Street and smother Susquehanna Ave.. They are remnants of wood, carpeting and furniture that once beautified buildings but became eyesores once Tropical Storm Lee rolled the Susquehanna River over its banks last month. “How do people get their lives back when you see that every day?” wondered Northwest field hockey coach Pete Malischak. “It’s depressing, it’s frustrating.” It’s inspiring, then, to see what is happening away from downtown Shickshinny, at the athletic fields of Northwest High School. It is where a group of field hockey players who lost their home field – and some who lost their actual homes – are reminding everyone how to rebuild through spirit. The Rangers weren’t supposed to win much this season, after graduating their top five goal scorers and a goalie among the nation’s leaders in shutouts. They not only secured a place in next week’s District 2 playoffs while leading the Wyoming Valley Conference Division III. They did it while locking up a spot in their town’s heart. “We play really well as a team,” said senior Colleen McCoy, who transferred to Northwest from Lake-Lehman this year. “We work together.” It couldn’t have been easy for the Rangers to stay together. “We have girls who had their homes shredded,” Malischak said, “some who missed a practice or two early on. Some girls had water on their first floor, who were staying with other relatives. Our girls are trying to get their lives in order.” The Rangers also had to sort out where to play. They normally use the field at Crary Park for home games, but that facility is located down by the Susquehanna River and was destroyed by the flood. “It’s horrible,” Northwest senior Taylor Perlis said. “Our goals got shredded, the field had to be sanitized. I’m used to playing on that field. Our girls miss it.” Now the Rangers settle for playing on any field they can find. They tried to expand their tiny practice field at the school to meet national standards, but that effort got bogged down. “The practice field, that became inundated with water,” Malischak said. “It squishes every time you walk on it.” And using the football field between football practices has been hit or miss. “We’ve been really fighting the elements,” Malischak said. None of that took the fight out of the Rangers. They went into Wednesday with a 13-0 overall record and 11-0 mark in league play, then battled a more-talented Wyoming Valley West team to a 1-0 halftime score before falling 6-0 at Spartan Stadium. That was just the third league loss for Northwest over the past four seasons. “We usually win,” Perlis said. “We’re not used to losing.” Because no matter how difficult the hardship, winners never accept defeat.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

A surprise game of the year candidate

Te’o, Irish anxiously await USC

The best game of the season, at least from the ones I’ve seen, was played recently. No, it wasn’t Dallas’ 28-27 victory over Wyoming Valley West. Or Crestwood’s 7-6 win over Dallas on Monday, a game I unfortunately had to miss. How about Northwest at Nanticoke last Saturday night? As innocuous as the game looked on the schedule, the Rangers and Trojans put on a heck of a show Saturday night. Northwest won 34-30 when Gunner Majer threw a 32-yard TD pass to Christian Foley with 1:37 to play. It was the sixth lead change of a game played in ankle-deep mud that was the consistency of chocolate icing in the middle of the field. Even Foley’s catch on a slant pattern had a dramatic flair to it. He still had about 20 yard to run to get to the end zone and two Trojan defenders well down field. But the instant Foley turned on the jets, their efforts were obviously in vain. Simply a great finish to a great game that featured different heroes at different times on both teams. The Rangers and Trojans should be commended for an incredibly entertaining 48 minutes of football.

JOHN ERZAR NOTEBOOK season total of 1,121 last year. Bennett went over 1,000 for the first time. Nine players rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2010. Seven are on pace to do so this year. RECORD SETTER Holy Redeemer’s Tom Cosgrove returned an interception 86 yards for a touchdown against Wyoming Area last weekend, setting the school record for the longest interception returned for a score. Only one other time has a Royal brought a pick to the end zone in the school’s five-year history. Anh Le had a 24-yard interception return for a TD in 2009. FOUND ANOTHER Yes, another WVC team scored 70 points in a game not too long ago. Lake-Lehman defeated Holy Cross 74-6 in the second week of the 2008 season.

T I M ES L E A D E R D I ST R I CT 2 TO P 15 Teams are ranked based on performance and not how they would fare against each other. Number before each team is last week’s ranking. NR means not ranked last week. District 4’s Williamsport is including in the rankings since it plays in the WVC. 1. (1) Valley View (7-0) 2. (5) Dunmore (7-0) 3. (2) Dallas (6-1) 4. (3) Valley West (6-1) 5. (7) Crestwood (6-1) 6. (4) Delaware Valley (6-1) 7. (6) GAR (6-1) 8. (8) Wyoming Area (5-1) 9. (11) Old Forge (5-2) 10. (9) Lackawanna Trail (5-2) 11. (10) Lakeland (4-3) 12. (12) Wallenpaupack (6-1) 13. (13) Coughlin (4-3) 14. (NR) Berwick (4-3) 15. (15) Riverside (4-3)

Looks like a lock for home field advantage throughout the D2-3A playoffs. Getting past Lakeland last week could mean an undefeated regular season. Still holds second spot in D2-3A standings despite one-point loss to Crestwood. Rebounded from one-point loss and scored season-high 66 vs. Hazleton Area. Has to answer the bell quickly after Dallas win as it heads to Valley West. Loss to Valley View has it clinging to a home game in D2/4-11 Class 4A playoffs. Defense had two picks for TDs vs. Lehman, but run defense wasn’t up to par. Rides a five-game win streak as it head to GAR for WVC Division 2A showdown. Travels to play Mid Valley, which has a knack for crushing opponents’ momentum. Injury to its starting quarterback has slowed down the offense quite a bit. Only 20 state points behind Wyoming Area for a D2-2A home playoff game. The final two weeks will decide whether it makes the D2/4-11 Class 4A playoffs. Every game has been a playoff game since the start of October. Three losses have come to Crestwood, Dallas and Wyoming Valley West. Gets a Carbondale team that is coming off a big win vs. Western Wayne.

Dropped out: Western Wayne (3-4). Given consideration: Mid Valley (4-3); Northwest (4-3); Scranton (4-3); Susquehanna (5-2).

T I M E S L E A D E R P L AY E R O F T H E W E E K

—John Erzar

hind the Rangers, but well off the pace. Berwick is still much in the hunt for a D2-3A spot. Next week’s game with Coughlin will have a big say in which playoff bracket the Dawgs end up. Worst case scenario is not making either depending on how Crestwood, Coughlin and Scranton Prep finish out.

Christian Foley WR – Northwest Foley played a huge part in the Rangers’ 34-30 victory over Nanticoke, catching four passes for a careerhigh 149 yards and three touchdowns. His last TD catch was a 32-yard score with 1:37 to play that ended up being the game-winning score. Foley also caught TD passes of 60 and 40 yards in the first quarter, grabbed a two-point conversion pass in the third quarter and kicked two extra points. Given Consideration

CAN’T MAKE THIS UP Weather has been a factor in postponements and cancellations of games this season, but here’s a new one. A game in South Carolina a few weeks ago was postponed due to an infestation of fire ants. Calhoun County’s game at Hunter-Kinard-Tyler was postponed three days after the referee found 15-20 large fire ant pile just before kickoff, according to a story from the Associated Press. The home team tried digging up the piles and pouring salt on them, but it wasn’t enough. Neither was the home team’s effort on the field as Calhoun won 19-8.

PERSA Continued from Page 1B

against the Lions last year, Northwestern has found other ways to compensate. Backup Kain Colter, who started the first three games of the season while Persa recuperated, is still seeing plenty of time now that the team’s senior starter is back. Colter will occasionally replace Persa to run some of the Wildcats’ traditional zone-read plays, but he will also join Persa on the field at times, lining up in the backfield or even split out wide as a receiver. The most tenured member at each level of the Penn State defense spent the week raving about Persa, Colter and Northwestern’s pesky spread offense in general.

All three seniors have been preparing as if Persa will still be able to take off and run as he gets healthier this week. “It’s real challenging,” defensive tackle Devon Still said. “That’s why you’ve got to get your conditioning level up, so you can contain them, work on chasing the quarterback and getting after those short passes.” “Northwestern gives you a lot of challenges,” linebacker Nate Stupar said. “I played with Persa in the Big 33 a few years ago, and he’s a heck of a quarterback. … You just have to be aware of the pass and run. You have to be aware at all times where he is and where the ball is.” “Persa’s been doing this his entire career, just making plays,” safety Drew Astorino said. “He really is a great QB. He gets out of the pocket, and the wide receivers, instead of running routes are basically running everywhere to

find a zone. Which makes it so hard on us (in the secondary).” In the three games he has played, Persa has gained just 52 yards and hasn’t come up with a running score. Combined with sacks, his net rushing total is actually minus-16 yards on 28 carries. Not helping matters was the shot he took to his surgically repaired right leg late in his first game back against Illinois, sending him to the bench. Though he retuned the next week, Persa said the area was stiff and it has continued to hamper him in games. That’s where Colter comes in. With Persa missing time and the Wildcats’ tailback situation again in disarray, Colter leads the team in rushing with 370 yards and five touchdowns. The sophomore also has 475 yards passing and even nine catches for 121 yards.

“We’re going to have to know where he is at all times,” Astorino said of Colter. “They like to get the ball in his hands whether it’s at quarterback or receiver. We’ve got to stop him because he’s a great player.” And of course the Lions can’t overlook Persa as a passer. The Bethlehem native has completed 72 percent of his passes for his career and had the most accurate season in Big Ten history in 2010. On the season, Persa – who was not recruited by the home state Lions – is 72-of-97 for 696 yards and five touchdowns. “He’s not the biggest kid in the world. He’s just one of those guys that’s tough to evaluate because he makes things happen,” Penn State’s Joe Paterno said. “He’s smart, he’s tough. … Our loss was Northwestern’s gain because he sure is a good football player. He makes things happen.”

Players believe owners’ attempts to make the luxury tax more punitive and limit the use of exceptions will effectively create a hard salary cap, which they say they will refuse to accept. Each side has proposed receiving 53 percent of basketball-related income after players were guaranteed 57 percent under the previous CBA. Talks originally weren’t planned Wednesday, the 111th day of the lockout, because owners had previously scheduled meetings. But the labor relations committee returned about 10 a.m. to resume negotiations with the players’ executive committee, just eight hours after the sides wrapped up a marathon16hour session with Cohen on

The star linebacker for Notre Dame grew up as a Trojans fan and nearly played there. By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer

Manti Te’o grew up rooting for Southern California, and when it was time for him to choose a college, he was ready to join the Trojans. Late in the process, he decided it was best for him to go to Notre Dame. Choosing South Bend over L.A. turned out to be a good move for both him and the Irish. Now as one of the naUP NEXT tion’s best liUSC nebackers, at Te’o will lead Notre Dame Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. (4-2) against Saturday USC (5-1) on TV: NBC Saturday night in a meeting of two teams who hope to break into the Top 25 with a victory. Te’o said the excitement of playing against the school he almost attended and one he always watched has pretty much disappeared. “My first two years, I’d say, ‘OK, this is USC, I almost went there.’ I grew up a USC fan. I used to have those kind of emotions mixing in with all the anxiety and excitement,” Te’o said. “But going into this year, I don’t have that feeling anymore. I’m happy to play another game.” Te’o, a Mormon, said his faith guided him in picking a college. “I was going to go to USC. I prayed about it,” Te’o said Wednesday. “I was directed here. I think that was the only thing that could persuade me to come here. I was all sold on USC. I grew up a USC fan, you know what I mean? But I prayed about it and everything pointed this way.” After his freshman season, when he emerged as a starter for 10 games under coach Charlie Weis, Te’o decided to stick with football instead of going on a Mormon mission. The last two seasons, he has developed in coach Brian Kelly’s 3-4 defense as an impact player whose talents could lead him to the NFL as soon as next year. “Manti didn’t come here to go to the NFL. He would have gone on a Mormon mission,” Kelly said earlier this season. “He came here to be at Notre Dame.” Te’o had 133 tackles last season, the most by an Irish player since Tony Furjanic had 147 in 1983. And he’s picked his game up this season: Te’o has 59 total tackles and leads the Irish with four sacks and 81⁄2 tackles for loss. That’s twice his number of sacks from his first two seasons. “His game is up a level. I’d say that he’s continued to improve,” defensive coordinator Bob Diaco said. “Some of those tackles that were in the backfield or opportunities that he missed, he’s not missing them. He’s picked his game up fundamentally. He worked very hard on it and continues to work very hard on it.” Tuesday night. Owners then postponed the planning committee meeting that was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Wednesday so they could keep talking with players. That meeting was to feature a presentation on the league’s plans for expanded revenue sharing among teams, which Stern said will be introduced after the CBA has been completed. Unable to make any real headway in recent weeks on the divisionofrevenueandthecapstructure, both sides welcomed the presence of Cohen, who also spent 16 days trying to resolve the NFL’s labor dispute in February and March. Their first day together produced a bargaining session that was more than twice as long as any previous one since owners locked out players when the old collective bargaining agreement expired June 30.

Kessel stays hot as Leafs rally by Jets The Associated Press

TORONTO — Phil Kessel had a goal and two assists to help the Toronto Maple Leafs rally for a 4-3 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night. Kessel extended his NHL lead in goals and points on a night where Toronto appeared headed for its first regulation loss after falling behind 3-1 midway through the second period. He has seven goals and 12 points in five games. Joffrey Lupul scored twice in regulation for Toronto (4-0-1), which starts its first trip of the season in Boston on Thursday night. Kessel failed to score in the shootout, but Joffrey Lupul and Matt Frattin made sure it didn’t matter by beating Ondrej Pave-

lec. Mark Scheifele, with his first NHL goal, and Tobias Enstrom and Alexander Burmistrov scored in regulation for Winnipeg (1-3-1). The Maple Leafs struggled in the first two periods, managing just 12 shots while getting serenaded with boos during disorganized stretches with the man advantage. That changed quickly with power-play goals 27 seconds apart early in the third period. Lupul’s shot deflected off Enstrom’s stick and past Pavelec at 7:28, and Kessel one-timed Dion Phaneuf’s pass to tie it at 3 at 7:55. Toronto has received almost all of its offense from the line of Kessel, Lupul and Tyler Bozak while earning nine points to start.

LSU suspends two top starters The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU has suspended star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, defensive back Tharold Simon and running back Spencer Ware for this Saturday’s home game against Auburn because they’ve run afoul of the team’s drug policy, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person told The Associated Press about the suspensions on condition of anonymity because they have not been announced. The person did not specify the drug for which players tested positive. LSU coach Les Miles declined to confirm any punishment for members of his No.1 Tigers on Wednesday. “I understand the interest which surrounds what seems to be news. There is internal discipline and internal news,” Miles said. “I have a process I go through. ... It’s a procedure I’m true to. There is no real information about any player that I’ll address at this point.” Mathieu has been one of the stars of the first half of the col-

lege football season. He has forced four fumbles, recovering three and returning two for scores. He also has two interceptions and 42 tackles, including 11⁄2 sacks. Mathieu has made so many big plays in nationally televised games that a grass-roots Heisman Trophy campaign has sprouted for the hard-hitting 5foot-9 defensive back nicknamed “Honey Badger,” after the YouTube sensation about a small but fearless animal by the same name. Ware is the leading rusher for the unbeaten Tigers with 512 yards and six touchdowns. Simon has one interception and 29 tackles. LSU is deep at running back and should be able to cope with Ware’s absence. Michael Ford, who has rushed for 359 yards and six touchdowns, and Alfred Blue, who has 235 yards rushing and four TDs, likely will be LSU’s top two running backs against Auburn. In the defensive backfield, senior Ron Brooks would be the likely candidate to step in at

cornerback for Mathieu, while fellow senior Derrick Bryant could play nickel back. When LSU fields six defensive backs, sophomore Craig Loston or redshirt freshman Ronnie Vinson could take the field. The Tigers have a week off after Saturday’s game, and play No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 5 in what could be the biggest game of the regular season. LSU (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) has already managed to stay unbeaten while dealing with early season suspensions. “This football team understands what distraction is,” Miles said. “I haven’t seen a change in their get-along. I expect the team to take the field ably manned at all positions.” Quarterback Jordan Jefferson missed the first four games of the season, including matchups against Oregon and West Virginia, after he was involved in a bar fight. Receiver Russell Shepard missed the first three games because of an NCAA rules violation.

LEHMAN TWP. — Jay Dawsey scored his second goal of the match with 6:09 left in the second overtime to lead LakeLehman to a 4-3 victory over Crestwood on Wednesday in a Wyoming Valley Conference crossover game at Lake-Lehman High School. With the win, Division II Lehman wraps up its regular season with a 13-3 record and likely has surpassed the Division I Comets (9-5) for the conference’s No. 2 seed in the upcoming District 2 Class 2A Tournament which begins next week. Dawsey’s first goal broke a 1-1 tie in the second half, but Crestwood’s Alex Mahalick evened the score at 2-2 a minute later. Chris Edkins, who gave the Black Knights an early 1-0 lead, gave them a 3-2 lead later in the second half. A Devin Stein tally about a minute later for Crestwood forced overtime. Dawsey assisted on both Edkins’ goals and Edkins had helpers on Dawsey’s two tallies. Danny Ceonzo also struck the back of the net for Crestwood.

Crestwood ............................................... 1 2 0 0 — 3 Lake-Lehman .......................................... 1 2 0 1 — 4 First half: 1. LL, Chris Edkins (Jay Dawsey), 36:30; 2.

Pittston Area 3, Meyers 1 Jordan Consagra picked up a goal and an assist as both teams closed out the regular season and will prepare for the postseason. Pietro Colella and Ian Tracy also scored for the Patriots, who will wait to hear who their first round opponent in the District 2 Class 3A Tournament will be next week. Cal Lisman notched Meyers’ only score on an assist from Caleb Simpson. The Mohawks will participate in a play-in game for the District 2 Class A Tournament on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Lake-Lehman against an opponent to be determined from the Lackawanna League.

Play-in game today Last year around this time, Holy Redeemer and Berwick met for the right to participate in the District 2 Class 2A tournament. The teams will do so again tonight when they meet at 6:30 at Lake-Lehman. The winner will most likely face undefeated Dallas (14-0) in the first round of the bracket next week. The Royals were victorious in 2010 before pulling off one of the biggest upsets in some time when it defeated top-seeded Dallas on penalty kicks. A Class 3A play-in game will be held at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Lake-Lehman when Tunkhannock takes on either Scranton or West Scranton.

Penguins’ Guerin moving behind the bench for USA Hockey

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — As a player during his 19-year pro career, Bill Guerin represented the United States in seven international events, including the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and the World Cup of Hockey in 1996. Next month, the Massachusetts native will represent his country in a different way: behind the bench. Guerin, who is the player development coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was recently named as an assistant coach for the USA Hockey Men’s National Select Team that will compete in the Deutschland Cup on Nov. 1113 in Germany. Guerin, who is in town working with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, joins fellow assistant coach Chris Chelios and head coach Don Waddell behind the U.S. bench.

Guerin will have a few familiar faces on the U.S. bench during next month’s Deutschland Cup. He said former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins John Curry, Andrew Hutchinson, Steve Wagner and Chris Collins have been added to the roster.

After years of representing his country on the ice, the chance to do that same thing as a coach means a lot to Guerin. “It’s a big honor,” he said after Wednesday’s practice at Coal Street. “It’s another way to represent your country.” As a player, Guerin was a member of the U.S. team that won the silver medal in the 2002 Olympics and the squad that captured the first-ever World Cup of Hockey crown in 1996.

er players.” One of Guerin’s responsibilities could be overseeing the team’s power play. Considering that 130 of Guerin’s 429 career goals were scored on the power play, coaching the man-advantage seems like a perfect fit. Among American-born players, Guerin ranks seventh alltime in goals and 13th in points with 856. And now, after 18 seasons as a player, Guerin is taking his career full circle by taking a spot behind the bench with USA Hockey. “I think this is what guys should do,” he said. “We were lucky enough to play and it’s important for guys like myself, Chelios, (Keith) Tkachuk, (Mike) Modano and (Doug) Weight – all of us who have had success with USA Hockey to get back involved. “It did a lot of good for us and we have to give back and try and make the program even better.”

SERIES

Coleman’s career game earns him special honor

Continued from Page 1B

ALCS MVP, tried for a sliding catch, but the ball bounced just in front of his glove for a single as Freese scored. Texas was lucky that the ball struck Cruz on a foot; otherwise, it would have rolled to the fence. Carpenter became the first St. Louis starter to reach the sixth inning since the division series. He allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked one. Wilson, who has a 7.17 postseason ERA, gave up three runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings with a career-high six walks — two intentional — and four strikeouts. After limiting the Cardinals to one hit in the first three innings and preventing any runners from getting past first, Wilson was hurt by three misfired pitches during a four-pitch span in the fourth. After falling behind Pujols 2-0 in the count, Wilson bounced a 2-1 pitch that hit the three-time NL MVP on the left foot. He tried to go inside on Holliday but left the next pitch over the plate, and Holliday hit an opposite-field double into the right-field corner as Pujols took third. Then, with the count 1-0 to Berkman, Wilson tried to go inside again but allowed the ball to drift over the plate. Berkman went the other way and chopped the ball over first base and into right field as the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead. Wilson shook his head back and fourth as he walked back to the mound. The lead was short-lived. Adrian Beltre singled leading off the fifth and, one out later, Napoli turned on a high pitch and sent it about 10 rows deep into the right-field seats for his second home run of the postseason.

Texas’ Mike Napoli is greeted by Adrian Beltre after Napoli’s two-run home run off the Cardinals’ Chris Carpenter during the fifth inning of Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday in St. Louis.

fired up Carpenter had escaped a two-on, no-outs jam in the second inning when Napoli hit into an inning-ending double play. The starters entered with differing October results. Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, was 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA and helped the wild-card Cardinals avoid first-round elimination

with a three-hitter than beat Philadelphia 1-0 to win the division series. A sellout crowd of 46,406 filled the ballpark for a game with a temperature of 49 degrees at the start, tied for the third-coldest for a Series opener since Major League Baseball started keeping records in 1975. All the Cardinals’

starters wore long-sleeve undershirts, but Cruz, Young and David Murphy of the Rangers were in short sleeves. The three infield umpires all wore dark gloves. The World Series had not been played in St. Louis since 2006, when the Cardinals won the title in the first year of new Busch Stadium.

PHILADELPHIA — Kurt Coleman earned a seat on the bench after allowing a short catch to become a long touchdown by missing a tackle twice on the same play. The second-year safety didn’t whiff on his second chance to start. Coleman had three interceptions to help the Philadelphia Eagles to a 20-13 victory at Washington on Sunday. His performance earned him NFC defensive player of the week honors. “I thank the Lord that I was able to make the plays, but my goal is to have three interceptions every game,” Coleman said after the underachieving Eagles (2-4) snapped a fourgame losing streak. “I want to continue to build on that. This team needs to build on this and continue to get better and better. We will take this one game at a time. We know we have a long road to go but if we continue to play like we did, things will start rolling our way.” Coleman became the 11th player in club history to have three interceptions in a game and the first since 1966. He also had six tackles, helping the Eagles shut down the run for the first time this season. “We realized that we were 30th in league in stopping the run and everybody put an emphasis on doing their part, stopping the run and making plays,” Coleman said. “I did spend more time in the film room because it needed to be right. And we needed to put in the extra work.”

Coleman, a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State, earned a roster spot last year after returning two fumbles for touchdowns in the final preseason game. He started two games in his rookie season and intercepted his first pass against former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb during Philadelphia’s 59-28 win at Washington on Nov. 15. He began this season as the starting free safety while Nate Allen recovered from a knee injury. But Coleman was banished to the sidelines after New York’s Victor Cruz caught a 74-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning in the first quarter of the Giants’ 29-16 win in Philadelphia in Week 3. On that play, Coleman missed tackling Cruz after an 8-yard gain. He recovered to chase Cruz only to collide with teammate Nnamdi Asomugha, allowing Cruz to sprint the final 46 yards untouched into the end zone. Fox analyst Darryl Johnston was highly critical of Coleman after the miscue. “I really don’t know what Kurt Coleman is thinking on that play. It was such a bad attempt at a tackle,” Johnston said during the telecast. Coleman was bummed about getting benched, but he didn’t sulk. “It is tough,” Coleman said. “I’m a competitor and I know what I’m capable of doing out there, but the first three games I wasn’t getting it done and that was apparent. And I think it was a humbling experience. God taught me a lesson and I just worked my butt off the last couple weeks, so now I have the opportunity to make the best of it.”

Construction of homes up in September

Sunday hunting lucrative

Pennsylvania could generate up to $804 million in economic activity by allowing Sunday hunting, according to a bipartisan legislative study. The report says Sunday hunting could support nearly 7,500 jobs and bring in almost $57 million in state and local taxes. Hunting is worth nearly $3 billion to the state’s economy, with deer hunting accounting for about $1.7 billion of it, the report found.

The former Roller King on Third Avenue in Kingston is being converted into a spa, exercise and sporting goods facility.

Most areas of the country reported slight economic improvement in September and early October, according to a Federal Reserve survey of its 12 bank regions. But several regions said a hazier economic outlook is making businesses more cautious and holding back their spending. The Fed said Wednesday that consumer spending rose slightly in most districts. Three of the regions — Philadelphia, Richmond, and Chicago — indicated that many retailers were reluctant to build up their stockpiles ahead of the holiday season because of sliding consumer confidence.

Rolling into new use By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

INGSTON — Another blighted property along Kingston’s bank of the Susquehanna River will find new life as a commercial venture.

Zoning Officer Davida Roberts said Kevin and Diane McAliney of Pittston have submitted a zoning application for expansion work at the former Roller King roller skating rink off Third Avenue. The owners plan to turn the building into a high-end health spa with room to house other business, including sports rehabilitation medical offices and stores selling sporting goods and sportswear, Roberts said. The project is the third major revitalization project bordering

UAW contracts advance

Union workers at Ford Motor Co. overwhelmingly approved a new fouryear contract with the company in voting that lasted two weeks. More than 22,000 workers, or 63 percent of those who cast ballots, voted in favor of the pact, while almost 13,000, or 37 percent, opposed it, the United Auto Workers said in a statement Wednesday. New contracts have been approved at Ford and General Motors; workers at Chrysler’s largest UAW local have voted in favor of a new four-year contract, a sign that the deal will be approved when voting ends next week.

“QUANTUM levitation” sounds like a piece of pseudoscientific mumbojumbo if ever there was one. But it’s a reality, you can see it in action and it’s pretty slick. It won’t get you “Jetsons”-style flying cars, that’s for sure. But it just might produce a levitating limousine in a few decades. Just about everyone has seen examples of magnetic levitation. You put two magnets together, they push one another apart. Some desktop knickknacks take advantage of this effect. Quantum levitation is utterly unlike this, in terms of both visual impact and how it works (although it does involve magnetism). In a well-publicized demonstration, a disc-shaped piece of sapphire with a special coating is placed over a metal

Citigroup has agreed to pay $285 million to settle civil fraud charges that it misled buyers of complex mortgage investment just as the housing market was starting to collapse. The Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday that the big Wall Street bank bet against the investment in 2007 and made $160 million in fees and profits. Investors lost millions.

the Wyoming Valley levee in Kingston in recent months. In April, a partnership of local Jewish businessmen and their families purchased the vacant Kingston Plaza shopping center off Third Avenue with plans to convert the complex into medical offices, senior citizens apartments and possibly a new home for the Jewish Community Center. The municipality also is partnering with Charles Reilly of Wyoming to develop a multiuse luxury townhouse and re-

tail complex at the site of a blighted building near the Market Street Bridge. Kingston Mayor Jim Haggerty said the revitalization of Kingston’s riverfront is an offshoot of the revitalization of neighboring Wilkes-Barre’s downtown. “With the progress that’s been made in downtown Wilkes-Barre with the completion of the riverfront project, more and more people, more and more businesses want to be close to the downtown, in the Valley, closer to where things are happening,” Haggerty said. The site of the new business was formerly a roller skating rink that also played host to an all-ages club and music concerts in later years.

According to county property records, the building and the surrounding 2.4 acres were purchased by MCM Partners LP of Pittston for $555,000 from JDG Realty Associates of Kingston. Roberts said MCM’s owners, the McAlineys, plan to remove an addition on the front of the 22,877-square-foot building and add a new, 2,625-squarefoot addition to the building’s front and a 2,100-square-foot addition to the rear. She said the zoning application has not been approved, but she expects it will be approved in a few days. Kevin and Diane McAliney did not respond by press time to a request for comment made through a representative Wednesday.

WASHINGTON — Homes were built in September at the fastest pace in 17 months, a hopeful sign for the economy. Most of the gain was driven by a surge in volatile apartment construction. That should help create jobs and boost economic growth, but it doesn’t signal a comeback for the depressed housing market. Single-family home construction, which represents nearly 70 percent of homes built, rose only slightly. And building permits, a gauge of future construction, fell to a five-month low. Overall, builders began work in September on a seasonally adjusted 658,000 homes, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. While that’s a 15 percent increase from August, it’s roughly half the 1.2 million that economists say is consistent with healthy housing markets. “The overall result is favorable,” said Pierre Ellis, an analyst at Decision Economics. “But greater optimism would have been prompted if single-family starts had increased — suggesting that builders were seeing a better market ahead.” A separate report showed that consumers paid more for food and gas in September, although inflation outside those volatile categories was tame. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3 percent last month, the Labor Department said.

Quantum levitation is an example of what’s called the Meissner effect.

with no resistance at all -- and it will force any magnetic effects away from itself. But the coating is so thin that some magnetic effects are felt. These are confined to what is known as a “flux tube” – areas where the superconductor effect is less powerful. Because these flux tubes don’t move, the disc is basically stuck in place. I’ll add a disclaimer; that explanation was grossly simplified, since it is quantum physics, which is about as 10-YR T-NOTE 2.16%

REGIONAL FORECAST Today’s high/ Tonight’s low

NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers will continue to affect areas from the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes into the Northeast today as a potent storm system gradually weakens and exits into Canada. Strong and gusty winds will persist much of the day, however. Meanwhile, high pressure will promote sunny skies from much of the West, through the Plains and into the Southeast.

We are now getting well beyond the average date of when we get our first freezing temperature of the fall season. Still, there is little chance of having 32 degrees occur anytime soon. The next best chance is Sunday morning this weekend, but the odds favor 37 instead. In many gardens the perennials are still blooming and the grass is still growing. Perhaps winter will be delayed a bit this year. There is a La Nina going on now in the tropical Paciﬁc with colder waters. This slightly favors a warmer and drier winter for our area and especially for the southern states. - Tom Clark

The hottest homemade costumes By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

By SUE MANNING

Retailers offer walls upon walls of potential Halloween costumes, but some people will always prefer the non-traditional, homemade, make-them-figure-you-out route. Melanie Marino, 37, of Dallas hosts an annual Halloween party and aims to get creative on a budget. “I’m pretty frugal, and I don’t like to spend a lot of money on something I am going to wear for one night,” she said, explaining she lookstocostumeideazone.comasa resource for quick, homemade outfits but finds her best come from buying single items and expanding upon them. “MyfavoritewasCarmenMiranda,” she said of her samba-singer outfit. “I found the felt fruit hat at South of the Border one summer on vacation and knew it would be “I’m pretty the start of a perfrugal, and I fect Halloween don’t like to costume.Iadded a colorful skirt spend a lot of from eBay, bead necklaces from money on mygrandmaand something I candy-filled am going to fruits to complete the look.” wear for one Some outfits might take a night.” while to figure Melanie Marino, out. All-blue 37, of Dallas clothing with glued-on cotton balls complemented by a carry-along spray bottle? “Cloudy with a chance of showers.” Others are instantly recognizable. Silver garbage bag with a hula hoop at the bottom, cone hat covered with tin foil and a Hershey Kiss ribbon attached? You got it. Marino and other readers share some of their favorite ideas: ••• • Someone you can count on, from Marino: Glue numbers all over your body, and, voila, a trusted friend. • Pigs in a blanket, also from Marino:Dressinall-pink,popona pig nose and swaddle yourself in a blanket. Pick up a stuffed pig or two to carry around.

OS ANGELES — Halloween’s coming up, and with a little DIY ingenuity, you can turn your dog or cat into a bee, bear or badger. Whether you are planning for a parade, party, photo session, contest or trick-or-treating, a homemade costume for your pet can make it more fun for both of you. You can start from scratch or go halfscratch, adding bling, attitude or accessories to human hand-me-downs or garagesale or thrift-store finds. The McCall Pattern Co. even sells several patterns for pets. Lisa Woodruff of Huntington Beach, Calif., builds whole floats around costume concepts so her pugs, stepsisters Olive and Mochi, can take part in the Haute Dog Howl’oween Parade and Costume Contest in Long Beach, Calif. They’ve attended the event, on the last Sunday in October, for seven years. The pugs have been geisha girls, fish, sushi, surfers, flowers, “pupcakes” and amateur movers. “The costumes have to be comfortable and dog friendly,” Woodruff said. “They can’t be completely indestructible, but they are dogs so they (the costumes) have to be durable.” She shops on Craigslist and carves a lot of Styrofoam. The year Olive and Mochi were pupcakes, she started with inverted, pleated lampshades and painted them. There was a slight hitch, though: Both dogs couldn’t fit in their pupcake wagon sitting down, so her husband had See PETS, Page 2C

and a red tie with hamburgers on it. ••• Other ideas to consider: • Operation game man: Wear pale-pink orflesh-coloredclothing,a red clown nose and short brown wig. Attach game pieces made of felt (butterflies in the stomach, broken heart, etc.) to the appropriate body location with Velcro. Bring the game to life by carrying tweezers so people can reEARLY

move parts and carry a hidden hand buzzer if the tweezers go awry. • Monopoly man: Wear white dress pants, a gray vest, black tuxedo jacket,redbowtieandablacktophat. Attach a fake white mustache to your face and carry a cane. Use poster board to make Monopoly property cardsandhandoutMonopolymoney. • Titanic passenger: Wear an olddressorsuit.Getanoldlifevest or life preserver and write “Titanic” on it. Dust clothes and hair with white powder and apply blue-tinted make-up to skin. Attach fake icicles to your body for bonus appeal. • Bubble bath: Attachpink,white and blue balloons to an all-blue outfit and top off with a bath cap, also festooned with balloons. Carry a rubber ducky, soap or a back scrubber for the ultimate effect.

to carry one down the parade route. “We had technical difficulties. But that’s what homemade is all about,” she said. AmyJo Casner, of Harrisville, Pa., dresses her ferrets up for Halloween. “Ferrets don’t really have shoulders,” so the hardest part of designing clothes for them is making sure they can’t slip out of them, she said.

THE TIMES LEADER “The second hardest part is sewing the smallest seams on the hats. I am still improving each design and will do so until I have come up with one I can’t improve on,” she said. Her pets, Manny, a 2-year-old therapy ferret, and Marcuz, a year-old deaf ferret, dress when they go out. They have matching red silky shirts, commando shirts and PJs. A few months ago, they won first place in the pet pocket category at the local Fourth of July parade. Casner also sells her designs on Etsy.com, an online homemade marketplace.

The McCall Pattern Co. has several pet patterns to choose from, and they’re not just for Halloween. The busy season for pet pattern sales lasts from October to December, said Carolyne Cafaro, director of merchandising at McCall’s headquarters in New York City. One of the most popular patterns is Santa Claus, which many buyers build their Christmas cards around, she said. Other hot sellers include a holiday apron, a doggie bathrobe and a tuxedo collar that can be used for Halloween, Christmas, weddings or any formal occasion, she said.

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

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

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

Woman struggling to put happy face on Facebook profile is not alone Dear Abby: “Unsure Out West” (July 26) felt inadequate because she had no upbeat messages to send to her friends on Facebook. Please tell her she’s not

alone. I attended a prestigious college, but 35 years later I also find myself with no job, in debt, battling depression and dealing with a host of phobias. I read the school’s quarterly magazine and see my peers have great jobs, travel extensively and are happily married. I once sent in “news” that not everyone is so lucky and that I am neither successful nor wealthy. Needless to say, it wasn’t published.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE When my FB friends ask how I am, I reply that it’s a difficult question to answer. I then ask about THEM and let them know I’m glad they’re doing well. And when times get bad, I know I can deactivate my Facebook account until I feel better. — Understanding “Friend” in Massachusetts Dear “Friend”: Thank you for writing to support “Unsure.” Many people identified with her feelings. My newspaper readers comment: Dear Abby: As a recovering survivor

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

of severe childhood trauma, I can relate to “Unsure’s” situation. I have college degrees, am married to a wonderful man and have two grown children. All my energy went into recovering from what happened to me. For years I felt ashamed that I hadn’t lived up to my potential, but it takes courage to recover from abuse or addiction. People who understand this view individuals like “Unsure” and me as SUCCESSES in the things that really matter. She should be honest, and as discreet as she wishes. When I have opened up, others have learned the realities of recovery and seen me as proof that it’s possible. Too many suffer in silence. They need to know others have sought help and are

healing. I reconnected with a popular, successful high school friend over the Internet and discovered that her adult path was similar to mine. We have been a source of support and encouragement to each other ever since. — Wendy in Texas Dear Abby: I, too, was well-liked, active and graduated with honors. After college I became sick with a debilitating chronic illness that leaves me mostly homebound. When an old friend reaches out on Facebook, I ask how she’s doing, we discuss common interests and I reveal my health struggles. If she wants to know more, she’ll ask.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a friend I hadn’t been in touch with for 17 years until Facebook reunited us. She accepted my limitations and showed incredible compassion and empathy. We caught up on mutual friends, hobbies AND my health. While not everyone will respond that way, it’s worth finding those who will. — Emily in Pennsylvania

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re an oracle of sorts. You can see where a situation is going and predict the outcome. Be forewarned, though: The oracle’s message is not always so welcome. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who works and reworks a project is quite remarkable in your book. You appreciate the effort, as well as the selflessness involved. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t always feel the need to embrace your loved ones. After all, they already know how much you love them, right? They know, but they need reminding. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Keep in mind that the best discourse has a flow to it. Don’t let your social scene get sticky. Excessive talking is bad news for both the speaker and the listener. Know when enough is enough. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Thoughts become words, words become actions, and before you know it, your thoughts have created your habits and character. Controlling them is really hard right now, but you can definitely rein them in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know you’re important to another person when that person starts introducing you to family and friends. You’ll come off well in such encounters, as long as you don’t try too hard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You enjoy people who are good conversationalists, but not people who talk on and on about themselves and don’t ask you questions or listen to what you have to say. Avoid those types today.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You discover a need and fill it for fun and profit. It’s so simple for you to make money today that you wonder what held you back before. People pay you to solve a problem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the span of the day, you go from being fierce and intense to reserved and mysterious. People don’t know what to expect from you, and you have a great time keeping them guessing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of course you’d rather be respected than feared. However, when a person hops to attention to get a job done for you because he or she is afraid of what will happen otherwise, you can’t help but feel secretly pleased. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You decide ahead of time that you’re going to have fun and find something to like about the people with whom you share your time. It’s easy for you to find words that are true and kind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll meet a new person and have a strong reaction. You may feel repelled or attracted; you could convey rejection or acceptance. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). You’ll enjoy the attention and respect you get this year. When love is the furthest thing from your mind, it comes rushing into your life. November will challenge your old way of thinking and force you to come up with new habits. Your openhearted generosity will make a difference in the world. Cancer and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 29 and 16.
