WILKES-BARRE – A Kingston woman charged with taking more than $100,000 from her elderly aunt was sentenced Monday to at least one year in county prison and must repay the stolen money. Marisa Harlen, 30, was sentenced on a charge of receiving stolen property by Judge Tina Polachek Gartley, after police said she took the money when she held power of attorney for 79-year-old

audit of Olenik’s bank account showed Harlen used her aunt’s money to pay for gifts, homeowner insurance, utility bills, airline tickets and service at an animal hospital. Harlen made multiple withdrawals, sometimes daily, totaling $10,475 at Mohegan Sun casino. Harlen, who pleaded guilty in September, said Monday she spent 30 days in rehabilitation in Arizona for her gambling addiction, as well as continued counseling, including for drug and alcohol abuse. Polachek Gartley said Harlen is eligible for work release so she can continue to pay restitution to Olenik. Harlen’s attorney, Joseph Yeager, said his client will pay $10,000 toward the total by the

Harlen has no prior record. She was taken to the county prison after sentencing. Soon after being granted power of attorney, police say, Harlen began stealing money in July 2008. Police said an

Olenik, who attended Monday’s hearing, said she didn’t feel that $10,000 was a good enough repayment and that it was a “slap in the face.” She said it was among her husband’s last wishes when he passed away in December that Harlen receive the appropriate punishment for taking the money they worked their entire lives for. Olenik has had to sell all her belongings and put her home up for sale because of the theft, and is currently living with family members at Harveys Lake.

housing is demonstrated by a waiting list to get into the existing units. But before dirt can be moved, the group must receiveapprovalforvariancestotheLehman Township zoning laws. The requests will be heard tonight.

The two proposed 12-unit buildings are a half-story too high under township zoning laws. But the developer still hopes to construct the buildings as proposed. At the hearing before the township’s

zoning board, the developer will seek a variance to permit the three-story buildings to be built along Nittany Drive. The apartment/dormitory type building is permitted in the township’s R-2 (multifamily residential) district but as a special exception. That means a second variance will be sought. . Zoning Officer Mike Sholtis said he sees no reason for either variance request to be denied. This project, dubbed Nittany Commons Phase II, is being developed by Apple Alley Associates LP, of Schuylkill Haven. Leandri, of Shavertown, is affiliated with the project. Tonight’s public hearing starts at 7 at the township’s municipal building on Old Route 115. A school spokeswoman said the university “is not involved in the housing at all.” The existing Nittany Commons, which opened in 1985 as two eight-unit apartment buildings, was purchased by Apple Alley in 2007 and renovated. A thirdbuilding,witheightunits,wasbuilt in 2009 and a fourth opened last year.

Former Wilkes-Barre city towing contractor Bob Kadluboski has filed a civil complaint against Mayor Tom Leighton regarding the city’s purchase of security systems for the mayor’s home and the home of former city administrator J.J. Murphy. The complaint was filed with Magisterial District Judge AnKadluboski drew Barilla, 100 Hazle St., WilkesBarre. The complaint was not available at Barilla’s office, but Kadluboski provided a copy of the filing. In two separate filings, Kadluboski seeks the return of $14,500 to the city’s general fund – the total expenditure by the city for the two systems. Kadluboski only seeks he be reimbursed for the cost of filing the civil suit and copies of several documents related to the purchases. WYOMING VALLEY

Parade route is altered

The route for the 66th annual Wyoming Valley Veterans Day Parade on Nov. 6 has been altered because of a traffic detour related to the former Hotel Sterling. The parade, which begins at 2 p.m. at Kingston Corners, will proceed down Market Street and, upon crossing the Market Street Bridge, will turn right onto South River Street. The parade will then turn left onto East Northampton Street, left again onto South Main Street and proceed to Public Square. Sponsored by the American Legion District 12, the parade will include all branches of the military, floats, high school bands and various organizations. Maj. Gen. Randall A. Marchi, commander of the 28th Infantry Division, Pennsylvania National Guard, will serve as the parade’s reviewing officer. LUZERNE COUNTY

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A Dallas Township man was sentenced Friday to six to 12 years in state prison for sexually assaulting a girl. Luzerne County Senior Judge Hugh Mundy sentenced Jesse L. Rhodes, 28, of Dallas Mobile Home Park, on charges of unlawful contact with a minor and an unrelated charge of criminal trespass. Dallas Township police said Rhodes sexually assaulted a girl inside a trailer at the mobile home park in October 2010. Police said Rhodes also entered a garage on Tunkhannock Highway in July, according to the criminal complaints. Rhodes was found to be a sexually violent predator and is required to register his residence with authorities for life upon his release from prison. WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello last week sentenced Nico Botch, 41, of East Fourth Street, Hazleton, to one year probation on three counts of harassment and a single count of making false reports. Wyoming police accused Botch of making several obscene phone calls to a woman

in July 2010 and making a prank call to Northeast Counseling Services in Wilkes-Barre in July 2010 claiming he physically and sexually assaulted a sister he does not have, according to the criminal complaint. WILKES-BARRE – A Hazleton man pleaded guilty Monday to a charge of corruption of minors after being charged in June 2010 with having inappropriate contact with a 16-yearold girl. Angel Solano-Martinez, 32, of West Hemlock Street, entered the plea before county Senior Judge Joseph Augello. One count each of unlawful contact with a minor and disseminating explicit material to a minor were withdrawn. Solano-Martinez will be sentenced on the charge on Nov. 14. According to court papers, a then-16-year-old told police she met Solano-Martinez at a Hazleton playground and exchanged phone numbers. The two began having intercourse and he supplied her with drugs. WILKES-BARRE – A Hazleton man was sentenced Monday to 14 to 28 months in state prison on a drug-related charge stemming from a November 2010 incident. Jose Rafael Medina Colon, 42, of West Hemlock Street,

pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal conspiracy and was sentenced by county Senior Judge Joseph Augello. Additional charges of possession with intent to deliver heroin and possession of heroin were withdrawn. According to court papers, on Nov. 15, police said a confidential informant purchased suspected heroin from Medina Colon. WILKES-BARRE – A Nanticoke man was sentenced Monday to three to 12 months in county prison on charges relating to his involvement in a fight outside a local bar. James Michael Hughes, Jr., 23, of State Street, was sentenced on one count each of simple assault and reckless endangerment by county Judge David Lupas. Hughes entered a guilty plea to the charges Monday. Additional charges of harassment and disorderly conduct were withdrawn. According to court papers, on Jan. 8, police were dispatched to the Prospect Street Café for a fight outside. Police later learned a man had been hit with a beer mug and needed stitches to repair the injury. Hughes was later identified as the person who hit the man with the mug.

Bureau of Communicable Diseases Division of HIV/AIDS. Ted Kross, the city’s director of health, said the gift cards were and still are used as incentives to get residents to submit to testing for HIV/AIDS. Kross said that when people return to the health department to get their test results, they are given a choice of a $10 gift card from one of the four businesses. The gas station used was Phil’s Sunoco on South Main Street, Kross said. So far, Kross said 37 gift cards have been distributed: 19 for Schiel’s, nine for CVS, five for Phil’s Sunoco and four for Rite Aid. “The gift cards have no expiration dates,” Kross said. “We continue to distribute them to residents who are tested for HIV/ AIDS.” The suggestion that the gift cards were used as Christmas pre-

Butch Frati, the city’s director of operations, said the May 2005, charge was for repairs and parts for the fountain on Public Square. “They were the only company that had the parts,” Frati said. Ceppa also questioned a $302 charge to Bakery Delite in Plains Township. “That was for three cakes for the ‘I Believe’ speech on Public Square in 2005,” McCormick said, adding that other restaurants donated food for the event. A $199.99 charge in May 2009 to Guitar Center, Moosic, was for a rack to store files in the police station, Leighton said. “If I would have put in a right-toknow request with the city, it would be 30 days or longer before I got answers,” Ceppa said in justifying her release of the statements to the media.

In other business Monday, the board voted to return $96,359 in pension payments made by former county probation employee Sandra Brulo, who was charged as part of the federal corruption

probe. The law prohibits the payment of a county pension to someone who pleads guilty to a federal offense if the offense somehow relates to the county office. However, county officials say they must reimburse funds paid by Brulo after receiving documentation that no restitution is owed in connection with the federal charge. County officials noted that Brulo lost $30,543 in interest in addition to her claim on a county pension.

sents to city employees had Leighton and McCormick bristling. “These are more baseless accusations from people with political motivations,” McCormick said. “This is all getting old,” Leighton said. “Who dreamed this up that we gave them out as Christmas presents to city employees?” Holly Senior, spokeswoman for the Department of Health in Harrisburg, said the city’s use of the grant money was “totally appropriate.” Senior said Wilkes-Barre and other jurisdictions were awarded the “one-time only” mini-grants that were made available as supplemental grant funds through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The grants were to be used specifically for incentives to encourage testing and the subsequent return for results,” Senior said. Ceppa said she “found it ironic” that the gift cards were purchased during the holiday season. Ceppa also questioned a charge to L.I. Irrigation Co. of New York

Insurer decides to pay Joplin tornado hero

Mark Lindquist, whose against-the-odds story of survival and heroism in the Joplin tornado touched people around the world, got some good news Monday: The insurance company that initially denied his medical claim agreed to pay. Lindquist, 51, was hurt while trying to protect group home residents during the May 22 twister. The group home residents died and Lindquist was in a coma for nearly two months. Lindquist’s job paid little and he couldn’t afford medical insurance.

Search continues for earthquake victims Emergency crews work Monday to rescue people from the debris and rubble of collapsed buildings in Ercis, eastern Turkey. Dozens of people were trapped in mounds of concrete and debris.

By SELCAN HACAOGLU and SUZAN FRASER Associated Press

ERCIS, Turkey — Distraught Turkish families mourned outside a mosque or sought to identify loved ones among rows of bodies Monday as rescue workers scoured debris for survivors after a 7.2-magnitude quake that killed at least 279 people. Rescue teams with generatorpowered floodlights worked into the night in the worst-hit city of Ercis, where running water and electricity were cut by the quake that rocked eastern Turkey on Sunday. Unnerved by more than 200 aftershocks, many residents slept outside their homes, making campfires to ward off the cold, as aid organizations rushed to erect tents for the homeless. Victims were trapped in mounds of concrete, twisted steel and construction debris after over a hundred buildings in two cities and mud-brick homes

in nearby villages pancaked or partially collapsed in Sunday’s earthquake. About 80 multistory buildings collapsed in Ercis, a city of 75,000 close to the Iranian border that lies in one of Turkey’s most earthquakeprone zones. Cranes and other heavy equipment lifted slabs of con-

crete, allowing residents to dig for the missing with shovels. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said the quake killed 279 people and injured 1,300, though search-and-rescue efforts could end as early as Tuesday. Authorities said 10 of the dead were students learning about the Quran at a religious

school that collapsed. Bodies were still being pulled from the rubble late Monday. Dozens were placed in body bags or covered by blankets, laid in rows so people could search for their missing relatives. The city of Van, about 55 miles south of Ercis, also sustained substantial damage.

Obama offers mortgage relief plan that doesn’t need Congress By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — The Obama administration offered mortgage relief on Monday to hundreds of thousands of Americans in the latest attempt to ease the economic and political fallout of a housing crisis that has bedeviled President Barack

Obama as he seeks a second term. The housing effort represents a new emphasis on executive steps he can take to address economic ills and other domestic challenges while circumventing Republican lawmakers, who have been blocking most of his proposals.

Under Obama’s proposal, homeowners who are still current on their mortgages would be able to refinance no matter how much their home value has dropped below what they still owe. In spelling out the plan to homeowners in in a Las Vegas neighborhood, Obama has cho-

sen a state that provides the starkest example of the toll the housing crisis has exacted from Americans. One in every 118 homes in the state of Nevada received a foreclosure notice in September, the highest ratio in the country, according to the foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac.

Ambassador leaves Syria after threats By PAUL RICHTER Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has temporarily removed its ambassador to Syria, who has drawn worldwide attention to the regime’s harsh domestic crackdown, citing “credible threats against his personal safety.” Ambassador Robert S. Ford departed over the weekend, U.S. officials said Monday, adding that he would not return to Damascus until the security situation improves. Ford, a veteran U.S. diplomat in the Middle East, has traveled through Syria this year to meet with opposition figures who are demonstrating against the government of President Bashar Assad. His travels have encouraged domestic opponents, but they have also stirred a violent reaction the administration believes is encouraged by the regime. Earlier this month, an angry group of Syrians trapped Ford for several hours in a building where he was meeting with a Syrian opposition figure. The demonstrators attacked a group of embassy vehicles with crowbars and bricks. Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman, accused Assad’s regime of conducting an “incitement campaign” against Ford.

faiths were extraordinary in its scope and depth of subject. The Novena at St. Ann’s Monastery was, for the first time, humanized in her interviews with actual attendees. These were page 1 stories, never told before. One of her priority missions was Haiti. In 2000, Marita and Times photographer Rich Banick accompanied Bishop James C. Timlin and others from the Diocese of Scranton on a week-long mission to povertystricken Haiti. They visited the worst of the island country’s slums and some of the best projects missionaries had undertaken there. It was her mission of love. That mission led to subsequent trips to Haiti and to her running in the Race for the Cure and the Steamtown Marathon. She served as an usher at the Cathedral Church. Marita’s greatest tragedy was the loss of her son, Brian. She never got over it. He was very special and dear to her as only a mother can know. She loved time spent with him at their Lake Ariel cottage and the trips to the village and rowing to Dumman’s Island for blueberries. Until her illness, she ran at Lake Ariel with Guito, her loving dog, and took time there from her busy schedule to catch up with cousins and friends. Marita was a remarkable and special woman. Her mission continued through her illness. Those who cared for her in her final months at Mountain View Care Center all echo the same sentiments: “Marita kept her smile. There was no anger. There was no bitterness. She died with dignity.” Surviving Marita are a granddaughter, Essence Gibson; sister, Mary Jo Cannon, and her husband, Michael; nephew, Mark Cannon; niece, Colleen Cannon; and several cousins. The family would also like to thank the staff at Mountain View Care Center and Hospice of the Sacred Heart for the wonderful care they provided. Funeral services were held Monday, October 24, 2011, by the Carlucci-Golden-DeSantis Funeral Home, 318 E. Drinker St., Dunmore. The interment was in St. Catherine’s Cemetery, Moscow. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mountain View Care Center, 2309 Stafford Ave., Scranton, PA 18505; or to Hospice of the Sacred Heart, 600 Baltimore Drive, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702.

October 21, 2011 arita Dempsey Lowman, 60, of Scranton, a prize-winning reporter and editor for the Scranton Times/Sunday Times and WilkesBarre Times Leader newspapers, died Friday, October 21, 2011 in the Mountain View Care Center, Scranton, after a lengthy illness. Born in Dunmore, she was a daughter of the late Joseph and Carmel Sandone Dempsey. She attended Christ the King grade school and graduated from Cathedral High School on a full diocesan piano scholarship. Marita earned her degree in journalism from East Stroudsburg University. A prolific writer with a fine, inquiring mind, Marita began her career in journalism after college with a small Carbondale weekly. A quick learner, she signed on just months later with The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, as a general assignment reporter from 1981 to 1985. Her beat included news, features and investigative pieces on city, county government, politics, crime, social services and health care. She covered a presidential inauguration, the George Banks mass murder (for which she received national attention, including a New York Times article), and a child abuse case series that prompted local and state reforms and for which she won an award. In 1985, Marita was named a court reporter covering Luzerne County Common Pleas Court. Two years later, she was named Times Leader city editor, supervising a 21member news staff. Although Marita was a fine manager, she took the opportunity to leave the city desk and return to staff writing as she became The Times Leader principal investigative reporter in 1990. Her stories during this period were legendary, including the Wolsieffer murder case as well as investigations into city, county and public agency spending practices. Marita joined the staff of the Intelligencer, Doylestown, as an editor in 1993, where she planned, assigned and edited daily local news stories and special projects. She came home and joined the staff of the Scranton Times/Sunday Times four years later, where her reporting style re-energized the local paper. Her journalism awards over the years were numerous and included first place, Keystone Press Award, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1993, and the U.S. Postal Service outstanding contributions to journalism, 2003. She also won, among other honors, first place in the health and medical reporting category of the 2001 Spotlight Contest conducted by the Keystone Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. By training and experience, Marita was an aggressive and accurate reporter who always got answers to her questions. She started her day with a strong cup of coffee and a list of prospects for stories. But, Marita had an extraordinary soft, sweet side to her, too. Marita had a spiritual side. She had a mission. Marita’s coverage of Scranton Diocesan and other religious happenings of people of all

with an officer and refused to submit to a blood alcohol test at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Police said Brocious yelled profanities in the emergency room in close proximity to a 2-year-old. Court records indicate Brocious was sentenced in December to three days to six months in jail on two unrelated counts of driving under the influence in Kingston Township on April 1, 2010, and in Dallas on June 19, 2010. Her license was suspended for two years, according to court records. Brocious violated her probation when she failed to attend court-ordered drug-and-alcohol counseling as part of her sentence. A county judge on Sept. 22 told Brocious to complete counseling within four months. A preliminary hearing on the latest charges is scheduled on Thursday before District Judge James Tupper in Kingston Township.

Yeager said Monday he and Harlen expected to see jail time, but not the amount handed down. “(Marisa) never asked for mercy,” Yeager said, noting that his client accepted responsibility for the crime.

OUR OPINION: HELPING OUT

Some good news about good deeds

UR IDOLS DON’T star in singing competitions or even seek the limelight. They simply serve this community with their unique gifts, helping to make the Greater Wyoming Valley a more hospitable, enjoyable place. A handful of these extraordinary doers of good deeds have appeared in The Times Leader’s pages in only the past five days. Here’s a summary of their noteworthy efforts, presented with dual purpose: to perhaps inspire similar actions on your part and to offer readers a dose of that much talked about but seemingly elusive “good news.” ❏ High school football player Christian Stevenson, 17, a lineman on Greater Nanticoke Area’s team, recently delivered a winning, off-the-field performance. He raised about $4,000 to promote cancer awareness. Generated through T-shirt sales, the money will go to a program jointly promoted by the National Football League and the American Cancer Society called “A Crucial Catch.” ❏ The New Story School in Wyoming supplied a boost to September’s flood victims by providing a free spaghetti dinner and “shopping” event, during which participants could stock up on canned goods, household items and clothing, including winter coats. Material goods and money had been collected at each of the organization’s 11 campuses in the state. ❏ Flood relief in the wake of Tropical Storm Lee continues to take many forms – as it should – and involve thousands of compassionate area residents – as it must. In West Pittston, for example, backers of the community’s

library have succeeded in relocating its services and certain materials to a temporary site at the Insalaco’s Shopping Center. The Professional Chefs of Northeastern Pennsylvania, meanwhile, served a free dinner to flood victims who registered for Monday night’s meal. An invitation also was extended to community residents who had pitched in during the disaster. A benefit concert to aid area flood victims, organized by Making A Difference Ministries and businessman Gus Genetti, is set for Saturday night at Genetti’s downtown Wilkes-Barre hotel. (For discounted tickets, call 899-2264.) ❏ About 40 students from the West Side Career and Technology Center in Pringle plan to rehabilitate a flood-ravaged West Pittston home in time for the residents to return by Christmas. If successful, that’s a precious gift for one family lacking flood insurance. ❏ Supporters of the annual Tom Engle / Kris Kringle toy drive, named in honor of the late Ashley police chief, already have begun to collect goodies for distribution to the borough’s less fortunate children. This effort appeals to the “secret Santa” in all of us. ❏ Harveys Lake resident Dr. Susan Sordoni, who established the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilkes-Barre, recently was honored as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania. She and others were recognized at the governor’s residence in Harrisburg for their society-enhancing efforts. ❏ So, what’s your volunteer mission? And for what are you waiting? Your community could use another hero today.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Finding out how they died matters. It will set the tone for whether the new Libya will be ruled by law or by summary violence.” Sarah Leah Whitson The official with New York-based Human Rights Watch speculated on the possibility that Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi and his son Muatassim might have been executed after they were detained last week by Libyan fighters.

OTHER OPINION: LAX LAWS

Ohio’s needless animal tragedy

ILD ANIMALS have a place, and that place is in the wild. Had Ohio followed this simple principle, it might have been spared the tragic spectacle of 56 exotic creatures, including lions and rare Bengal tigers, on the loose in rural Zanesville, where their deranged owner, who had been charged several times with animal cruelty, set them free before killing himself.

Unfortunately, Ohio is one of a few states with America’s laxest laws on owning wild animals. Ohio’s anything-goes approach makes it a magnet for wild-animal dealers and commerce. That must change. Since there always will be people who put their own misguided desires above the welfare of their neighbors and creatures, strict laws are needed to protect all parties. Newsday

Foundation makes sure we remember our mining roots MOST OF us have vivid memories of our childhoods. Many of them are happy, and we typically look forward to reunions with family and friends to recall those stories, laugh about them and find comfort in reliving them with the people to whom we are closest. One of my most vivid memories is that of a man walking every day on Reynolds Street in Plymouth, carrying a lunch bucket and wearing a helmet with a light. The man would walk down the street early each morning before most of us were awake to go to work. He would return late in the day – usually well after sundown – and he would be black as the coal that he worked with for the past 10-plus hours. His name was Anthony Balita. His son, Christopher, was a childhood friend of mine. Mr. Balita, as we always referred to him, was a quiet man with a purpose – to work and earn money to support his wife and three boys. Mr. Balita was a coal miner. At the end of each day, Mr. Balita would scrub himself of all of the black coal dust and his natural skin tone would again be seen. Only to have him repeat the process the next day. Never did I hear him complain. He went about his daily business with determination and pride. This was the type of man whom anthracite historian and Wyoming Valley native Jim Burke talked about last week at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre during the first gathering of the Anthracite Heritage Foundation. The program not only provided great entertainment value, but also was full of information that we all should know and, more important, appreciate. Burke, head of the foundation’s board, is a passionate man and he wears that enthusiasm for preserving our region’s rich, coal

BILL O’BOYLE mining history on his sleeve. He wants to ensure that we, and future generations, never forget our roots – beginnings that for the most part grew from the patch towns of the anthracite coal industry. Watching the slide presentation while listening to Burke’s compelling words was extremely moving. It brought back memories of Mr. Balita and his daily walks to and from the mines. When coal was king, Burke said, more than 500,000 miners toiled in the coal patches of Pennsylvania. They came to those coal towns from dozens of nations, seeking a better life. As Luzerne County became the epicenter of the anthracite industry, more than 35,000 miners died in mining accidents, thousands more were injured or maimed, and still thousands more would die later in life of black lung disease. Burke asked us to imagine ourselves as one of our ancestors – to imagine a life in which for five months every year, November to March, we never would see daylight, except on Sundays. Burke’s words: “Up each morning before dawn, down into the black pit, up 10 weary hours later, again, into the dark. Young sons in the breaker working 10 hours, fingers bleeding, breathing coal dust, beaten by the stickman. Such were the lives of our ancestors in the coal patches of Pennsylvania.” Burke, with the passion of a true Irishman and a seasoned defense attorney, barked out the facts of what coal mining meant to this region. How our ancestors’ nickels and dimes built our churches and synagogues, hospitals, bridges, roads and schools. “Their enviable courage, faith, work ethic and perseverance have since defined this

community’s character – its very DNA,” Burke said. He couldn’t be more right. Burke pointed to the city’s lone historical marker in East End that commemorates Father John Curran – known as the “labor priest.” A former breaker boy, Father Curran championed “the workers’ cause.” Burke notes that the breakers are all gone, the Coal Exchange Building is gone and the statue of Ellen Webster Palmer and the breaker boys is at least temporarily gone from sight. On Thanksgiving Day, the Anthracite Heritage Foundation will launch its website and blog. In the future there also will be coal mining programs at King’s College and area schools will offer programs on our rich heritage. People will be able to access the website, enter their coal-mining ancestors’ names and all known information and even post photographs. Anyone will be able to read the stories and learn the history. Bravo, Mr. Burke and all of your associates! We all need to possess this “attitude of gratitude” to our coal mining history, said Burke, to ensure our ancestors’ legacies are passed on to future generations, while at the same time earn a deserved appreciation for what they did for us. I’m a convert. But then again, I knew Mr. Balita. Bill O’Boyle, a Times Leader staff writer, can be reached via email, at boboyle@timesleader.com, or by calling 829-7281.

Casey advocates replacing aging iron pipes Proposal included in Senate legislation that passed and is pending in the House.

By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington correspondent

WASHINGON – A Senate-approved pipeline safety bill includes a proposal by Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton to replace aging cast iron pipes like the one that ruptured in Allentown in February, causing an explosion that killed five people.

SHALE

The legislation passed the Senate last week by voice vote. A similar measure is pending in the House. The AllenCasey town incident was one of several recent around the country, prompting lawmakers to focus on the need to upgrade the nation’s more than 2 million miles of oil and gas pipelines. The legislation includes heightened penalties for pipelines explosions and spills,

and a series of safety steps, including a requirement that newly built pipelines come with valves that will automatically shut down the line in case of trouble. Casey’s provision requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to regularly check on whether pipelines around the country need to be replaced and survey how they are being managed, according to Casey’s office. The lawmaker maintains that will make industry more accountable and speed the replacement of cast iron pipelines. Casey said some of the pipelines in

Pennsylvania are more than 100 years old. “Addressing our aging pipeline system is critical to the safety of our communities,” he said in a statement. “I am pleased that this bill includes a provision I supported that will help to protect thousands of Pennsylvanians and citizens across the country who live near pipelines. I will continue to push for sufficient resources to conduct inspections, speed up replacement and ensure repairs are made.” U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazle-

SEE THE REPORT

John Trallo, a commission member from Sullivan County, said what he heard from those who attended the hearings was a feeling that drilling companies were getting away with looser regulations. “Hold them to the same standards you would hold any other industry,” Trallo said. Barrett and other commissioners who spoke on Monday said the next step is to present findings in the report to members of the state Legislature and the governor to try to work on legislation addressing the issues the report raised. Chad Saylor, a spokesman for Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley, said the report will be reviewed and considered. “The more input we have, the better the outcome will be,” Saylor said. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, DKingston, said she agrees with many of the recommendations included in Monday’s report. Many of them have been the basis of bills she has introduced and, in some cases, reintro-

the comments of more than 116 people who spoke at one of the five public hearings held across the state in September. Surra said that while there were opinions on a range of topics, from water and air quality to lack of governmental oversight, the call for a moratorium was not strong enough to include in its final recommendations. “Was there some support for it? Yes,” Surra said. “Was it overwhelming? I would say not.” Duke Barrett, a member of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition of Luzerne County, served on the commission. The Dallas Township resident said that while he supports a moratorium, he realizes it would “be politically unrealistic.” “I think in a lot of ways, it may be a good idea,” Barrett said. But he speculated that a report that included a recommendation for a full moratorium would

draw attention to that one recommendation and prevent the others from getting the attention they too deserve. Barrett said he believes strongly that “slowing things down” would be wise and there is little to lose by doing so. He believes some government officials and gas companies are trying to rush development before restrictive regulations are enacted. “The rush is on to get ahead of the regulations that could be put in place,” Barrett said. The report and its findings took issue with multiple recommendations by the governor-created commission. And Surra took a chance during a conference call on Monday to point out that “people have very serious concerns that the regulatory agencies there to protect them don’t have their back.”

The resulting document includes regulation for natural gas activities, which are allowed only as a conditional use in the agricultural district. The A-1 zone consists of 70 to 80 percent of township land, but stipulations include mandatory setbacks from public and religious institutions that could be from 3,000 to 5,000 feet, required environmental impact studies and bonds for road damage incurred during development. Varaly said after examining the zoning map that the required distances from public buildings and residences are likely to be farther than the stated distances in the amendment, depending on where a structure is located. “There’s already a 75-foot buffer for adjacent property lines, and no one’s home is directly on their property line,” he said.

After the meeting, resident Duke Barrett said he thought the passage of the amendment was “predictable.” “In Luzerne County, a very small percentage of people, probably three to five percent of residents, have leased to the gas companies … ,” he said. “This is a situation where the minority and corporations outside the area mainly funded by foreign capital are going to do projects within our community, maybe against the majority’s vote.” Brennan said the township is legally obligated to provide adequate space for natural gas development. He said the ordinance will put more control in the hands of the supervisors. “We’re mindful of the opposition, but we have to make our judgments as best as we can,” he said. He said the passage of the amendment does not mean the issue will no longer be discussed. Case law, state law and continued discussions with residents will dictate whether changes to the ordinance are necessary in the future, Brennan said. “This is not the end of the process,” he said. The amendment will not have any impact on natural gas-related development currently occurring. Williams Field Services LLC is preparing for the installa-

Resident Wendy Cominsky commented before the meeting that she had concerns about whether leaseholders’ decisions would hurt the ability for neighbors to sell their homes in the future. She said she didn’t believe it was right for three supervisors to make a decision on behalf of thousands of residents in the township. “The decision is left to three old men who each have a foot in the grave,” she said.

Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, is “supportive of the Senate legislation regarding pipeline safety and agrees aging pipes should be replaced,” said spokeswoman Renita Fennick. The Senate bill passed after GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky dropped a procedural objection to the measure, a so-called “hold” that is the prerogative of senators wishing to keep bills from the floor.

Among the recommendations made by The Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission are: • Establish an office of consumer environmental advocate in the Office of Attorney General to provide a transparent forum in which public complaints can be heard and investigated. • The PUC should have the authority to regulate all pipelines, including gathering lines, for safety. • Institute a drilling tax on gas producers comparable to that in West Virginia and restore local governments’ ability to assess property taxes on the value of oil and gas reserves. Ensure proper bonding and cleanup requirements are in place for well sites, with an escrow fund established to protect public health and the environment from unintended consequences. • Demonstrate that no hydraulic connection is present along fracture pathways between planned gas wells and homeowner wells within a radial distance of at least 3,000 feet. Require similar testing for any well planned to be drilled below the base of freshwater aquifers. • Immediately create a health registry and data base to track illnesses in drilling communities; use preexisting data gathered in other states where appropriate.

As an example, she cited House Bill 230, which would prohibit companies that use fracking or horizontal drilling from constructing wells within 2,500 feet of a primary source for a community water system, such as a lake or reservoir. The commission recommends a setback of 3,000 feet. “I particularly support the

commission’s recommendation to enact a meaningful drilling tax without restricting the ability of municipalities to pass ordinances to protect their citizens, as well as its recommendations to strengthen protections for property owners and to protect public lands and waters from impacts of drilling,” Mundy said.

AG gets criminal complaints

Council candidate files private complaints against W-B mayor, former administrator. Times Leader Staff

WILKES-BARRE -- The state Attorney General will determine whether private criminal complaints that city council candidate Linda Urban filed against Mayor Tom Leighton and former city administrator A.J. Murphy should be prosecuted. Urban filed complaints on Oct.14 with District Judge Andrew Barilla accusing Leighton Urban of misappropriation of taxpayer funds by an electedcityofficial,unlawfultaking,illegal disposition of funds and criminalconspiracytocommitacrimeof larceny. Against Murphy she filed charges of larceny, criminal conspiracy illegal disposition of public funds and theft by unlawful taking. The charges were in response to the spending of more than $15,000 of public money to equip the men’s homes with security systems. As per standard procedure, the charges were forwarded to the Luzerne County District Attorney to decide whether the case should be prosecuted. On Monday, Luzerne County First Assistant District Attorney Jeff Tokash confirmed the complaints were forwarded to the Attorney General to make that determination “to avoid any potential conflict of interest.” There is a potential conflict, Tokash said, because Urban’s husband is county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban and city police Chief Gerald Dessoye, who Leighton has said recommended that the systems be installed, is the brother of Luzerne County Chief of Detectives Mike Dessoye.

Jacksonville kicker Scobee gives Baltimore the boot in upset

Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee reacts after kicking a 54-yard, second-quarter field goal against the Baltimore Ravens Monday in Jacksonville, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 105 yards against the NFL’s best run defense, Josh Scobee kicked four field goals and the Jacksonville Jaguars snapped a five-game slide with a 12-7 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Stepping into the national spotlight for one night, the Jaguars used their best defensive effort in five years to slow down Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and Co. Jacksonville (2-5) didn’t allow a first down until the 5:26 mark of the third quarter, a mix of stout defense and inept offense. Flacco finally got the Ravens (4-2) on the scoreboard with a little more than two minutes remaining.

JAGUARS

RAVENS

Baltimore had a final possession, but Drew Coleman stepped in front of Ed Dickson and intercepted Flacco’s pass. The game did not feature a lot of offense. The Ravens were shut out in the first half — not only in points, but in first downs. It was the first time the Jaguars did not allow a first down in a half.

t’s way too early for the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins to call Saturday’s victory over arch-rival Hershey a season-saving win. But it may help them save face. Brad Thiessen made all the saves the Penguins needed him to make in a 3-1 victory over the Bears. And someone needs to tell Bryan Lerg he’s in the AHL now, not Juniors – the way he’s been scoring at will. Mainly, though, the Penguins simply willed themselves to play better. “Back to back nights, we thought we had consistent effort,” Penguins coach John Hynes said. It used to be like that every night for him when he was the rookie head coach of the Penguins. That was last season, when the Penguins stormed out of the first puck drop to nine consecutive victories, on their way to setting a franchise record by winning 58 games. But a new year means new faces, and sometimes, new results. Gone are many of the old reliables who made Wilkes-Barre/Scranton so dominant in 2010-11, replaced by different names with different abilities in their games. So it really wasn’t surprising when the Penguins skidded out of the gates this season with a 2-2-1-1 record during an early-season adjustment period. Yet they resolved to rearrange those mediocre results rather quickly, starting with a couple guys who starred for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season. “For me, personally, I knew I had to be better,” said Thiessen, coming off the AHL’s goaltender of the year award. “The first few games were just kind of up and down.” He knew it was time to get down to business. And when high-powered Hershey flooded the crease with 17 shots in the first period Saturday night, Thiessen stopped every one of them. “He challenged himself,” Hynes said. “He’s a very driven guy. He’s motivated.” It’s not so much the awards that inspire Thiessen, but desire to take his team to the top. “I wanted to be able to be there for the guys and step up,” Thiessen said. Lerg’s already standing at the top. The lightning-fast forward registered his fifth-straight multi-point game Saturday, using a goal and an assist to boost his season totals to six goals and four assists in seven games. “Right now, I have a lot of chemistry with my line mates. Gotta give them credit,” Lerg said. A modest man by nature, Lerg is always uncomfortable taking acclaim. Yet, he has to go all the way back to college to find a similar scoring spree he’s started a season with. “I’m not reading too much into it,” Lerg shrugged, “just take it game by game.” The game may be changing for the better for this group of Penguins, who took a giant step at the Giant Center by improving to 3-2-1-1. They shrugged off a 3-2 home loss against Hershey one week and came back to beat the Bears in their own building the next. What’s next for them, another shot season of record-breaking excitement?

The four-year old gelded son of Rambaran has been very good since joining the Ron Burke stable, winning three of his last five races. His most recent start, just last week at Pocono Downs, was indeed impressive. Reined by Matt Kakaley, Andy Baran took the lead early from post four and never looked back, cruising to an easy victory in a sharp mile timed in 1:52.

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. — An official with direct knowledge of the plan says Formula One is coming to New Jersey in June 2013 with a race on the Hudson River shoreline just minutes from New York City. The person says the Grand Prix event will take place in Weehawken and West New York, with the Manhattan skyline as a

backdrop. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Monday because the race has yet to be announced. A press conference is scheduled in Weehawken on Tuesday, and will likely be attended by New Jersey governor Chris Christie. The U.S. hasn’t hosted a Formula One race since 2007 in Indianapolis, an event won by Lewis Hamilton.

A race is scheduled for Austin, Texas, in 2012. The race could mean a big boost to the economy in North Jersey, which typically benefits from national and international events at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, where the NFL’s New York Giants and Jets play. But although the Super Bowl is coming to MetLife Stadium there in 2014, the complex has sagged a bit economically

with the loss of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and NBA’s New Jersey Nets to the nearby Prudential Center in Newark. The tentative name for the race is the Formula 1 Grand Prix of America. The area is not foreign to motorsports, though it has been awhile. The Meadowlands Grand Prix was a CART IndyCar race held in East Rutherford from 1984-1991.

PLYMOUTH – For the second straight year Dallas finished the regular season undefeated and grabbed the No. 1 overall seed for the District Class 2A Championships. The Mountaineers (14-0) and Holy Cross (12-0) from Class A are the only unbeaten teams in all of District 2, the rest of the district learned on Monday at the seeding meeting. Every quarterfinal game in all three classifications will be held on Wednesday. The Class 2A semifinals are slated for Nov. 1 at neutral sites and the semis in 3A and A are scheduled for Monday, Oct. 31. Class 3A and A finals will be held Nov. 2 and the Class 2A championship is set to take place on Nov. 3. Dallas will open its tournament on Wednesday at 3:30 when it faces Berwick (10-5-1) at Berwick. The game was moved to a turf field at Berwick to avoid grass and possible soggy conditions. Also in Class 2A, Lake-Lehman (13-3) will host winless North Pocono (0-12-2). The Trojans advanced by winning a play-in game. Wyoming Valley Conference Division III champion Hanover Area (11-4-1) will take to the road to face the top seed from the Lackawanna League, Scranton Prep (103-1). Crestwood (9-5), another 2A team from the WVC will also play a road match when it travels to Honesdale (4-10). In Class A, Meyers defeated Carbondale 3-0 on Monday at Spartan Stadium in a play-in game to advance to the tournament and will travel to Forest City (13-1) for the quarterfinals. The Mohawks join Wyoming Seminary (8-6-2) as the only two WVC teams in the bracket. The Blue Knights will host Elk Lake (6-6) at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The Class 3A bracket consists of four games featuring WVC teams with Tunkhannock (9-7) traveling to face topseeded Abington Heights (121-1), Wyoming Valley West (8-6) going all the way to Delaware Valley (9-5) and Pittston Area (10-5-1) making the long haul to Williamsport (10-3-1). Coughlin (11-3) is the only WVC team hosting a firstround match when Wallenpaupack (5-8-1) travels to the Bog. Also mentioned at the meeting is that in the event of overtime, two 20-minute periods will be held before penalty kicks begin if necessary. In previous years, the overtime was 10 minutes. The cost of admission for quarterfinals is up to the hosting teams. The cost for semifinals and finals is $6 for adults and $4 for students. Coaches All-Stars picked The Wyoming Valley Conference coaches named the allstars for the 2011 season with Coughlin forward Justin Okun, Dallas defender Dave Miller and Hanover Area midfielder Austin Bogart leading the way being named as All-State. The top three teams in Division I – Dallas, Coughlin and Crestwood – received the most recognition for the D-I first team with those teams each getting four representatives on the squad. Joining Miller from the Mountaineers are midfielders A.J. Nardone and Danny Saba and forward Dante DeAngelo. In addition to Okun on the team from the Crusaders are midfielders Travis Keil and Pat Malone and defender Josh Tarnalicki. From the Comets, keeper Steve Rerick, forward A.J.

Suchoski hitting a stride with Lehigh

Brian Suchoski is starting to find the range with the Lehigh men’s soccer team. Suchoski (Coughlin) has scored a goal in each of his last two games for the Mountain Hawks. He collected his first college goal in a 2-0 triumph over Albany in a non-league game and came back last Saturday to score the eventual game-winner in a 4-1 triumph over Holy Cross in a key Patriot League contest. “Brian has been really pushing to try to get that first goal and I’m really pleased for him,” coach Dean Koski said. Suchoski also thought that that first goal was big in his season. “It took a lot of pressure off my shoulders after going the first 12 games without a goal, but hopefully I can use it as a confidence booster going into the last part of the season,” he said. Suchoski, a 5-foot-10 forward, has started every game for Lehigh, which is 7-2-5 overall and 3-1-1 in the Patriot. “For Brian to come in and earn a starting position in a very competitive program and playing as well as he has is great for us and great for him,” Koski said. “He’s very coachable and has a terrific attitude. I see no reason he can’t score three or four more goals this year and six to 10 every year. He has that kind of ability.” Suchoski feels that he has adjusted well to college life and college soccer. “A major thing is time management and I think I’ve been doing well with that,” he said. “So far it’s been a great year.” The Mountain Hawks have a big game Saturday when they play American University (4-0 in league play) in Washington, DC. RECORD FOR GIARRATANO – Senior Nick Giarratano (Crestwood) is the new career touchdown reception leader with the Ursinus football team. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound wide receiver caught three touchdown passes in last Saturday’s 49-19 victory over Susquehanna and now has 20 for his career. His touchdown receptions last Saturday covered 64, 56 and 22 yards. “Nick has had an outstanding career for us,” coach Peter Gallagher said. Giarratano has 20 receptions for 310 yards (a 15.5 average) this season. Coming into this year, he had 80 receptions for 1,264 yards. Seniors Jason Walton (Coughlin), Chris Decker (Wyoming Valley West) and Joe Kost (Hazleton Area) are also on the squad. Walton, a fullback, is used mostly as a blocker. Decker, a nose tackle, has eight tackles and Kost, an all-around ath-

confidence” in Rodriguez. Carr did not respond to Bacon’s interview requests for the book that will be released Tuesday. Messages were left by The Associated Press with Carr and Rodriguez. Through a CBS Sports Network spokesman, Rodriguez declined to comment about the book. Martin and current athletic director Dave Brandon also declined comment. Bacon’s behind-the-scenes access started during the 2008 season, Rodriguez’s first of three, with the intent of writing a few magazine pieces. Those articles were never written, but three years of access and reporting gave Bacon enough material to write a book he’s proud of even if he has burned bridges in Ann Arbor and within the athletic department. He had carved out a niche as Michigan sports historian of sorts, co-writing “Bo Lasting Lessons” with the late Bo Schembechler. After a book tour this fall, he is scheduled to be a lecturer on campus in January for a class focusing on the history of college athletics. “Will the book cost me? It already has and probably will in

BILL ARSENAULT lete, was a defensive back and a special team standout before suffering a season-ending injury. “Joe had an outstanding career,” Gallagher said. “His three touchdowns against Dickinson helped us earn a postseason bid last year. Despite being sidelined, he is still with the team and helping the coaching staff.” The Bears (5-2 overall and 5-1 in the Centennial Conference) have a big game Saturday when they travel to Baltimore to face league-leading Johns Hopkins (7-0, 6-0). ADAMS LEADS THE WAY – The Bloomsburg women’s soccer team is 8-7-1 overall (6-6-1 in the PSAC) and a key performer on the squad is senior Natalie Adams. Adams (Holy Redeemer) has three goals and two assists for eight points and has a gamewinner. But according to coach Paul Huckett, she means more to the team than just scoring goals. “Natalie is a true leader,” the coach said. “Her work ethic and determination to do well for her team injects spirit within the team every day at practice and during every game.” The coach feels that her attitude is the key. “People enjoy being around her,” Huckett said. “She has progressed as a player and a leader each year she’s been here. And, this season, she has realized that she can compete with the best players in the league and now she cherishes the opportunity to show her abilities. She is trustworthy, passionate, dedicated and joyful and will do very well in any profession she enters.” RYAN’S COMING ON – Junior Michael Ryan (Lake-Lehman) got off to a slow start this season but he’s moving up the position ladder for the New Hampshire men’s cross country team. Ryan finished 33rd out of 145 runners at the recent Albany Invitational in Albany, NY. His 8k time was 26:29. “Michael is currently running in the six and seven spots for the team,” coach Jim Boulanger said. “He recently finished as our fourth runner in a meet so he will be competing for the Wildcats at the league (America East Conference) meet. He is the consummate hard worker and continually tries to improve himself.” The league meet, slated for Saturday, will also be held on the Albany course. JOHNSON A STARTER – Nikole Johnson (Holy Redeemer) is just a freshman but she’s ways I’m not anticipating,” said Bacon, declining to give specifics. “But my options in 2011, when I had the facts I did, was to turn into a PR man or be a journalist. My job was clear. It was not fun, but it was clear. Whatever it costs me will not outweigh how much I would’ve been disgusted with myself if in five or 10 years I looked back and didn’t report the truth.” Rodriguez was fired in January with a15-22 record over three seasons and problems with the NCAA, and was replaced with Brady Hoke. Rodriguez moved his family out of the area and is working as an analyst for the CBS Sports. Bacon writes that before Rodriguez was hired in 2007, LSU’s Les Miles had two conference calls with Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman at his alma mater. Miles, according to the book, told Coleman he wouldn’t meet in person with her until after coaching the Tigers in the national championship game. “I would never say no to Michigan,” the book quotes Miles as saying to Coleman in both conference calls. LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette said Miles has been made aware of what was written about him in the book and declined comment on Monday.

starting at libero for the Cedar Crest women’s volleyball team. Johnson leads the Falcons in digs (381), is second in service aces (25) and has 28 kills. “Nikki is the anchor for our defense and has a great understanding of the game,” coach Kristin Maile said. “She plays like a seasoned collegiate player and is a real leader on the court. The improvement in our defense from last year to this year is largely due to her consistency and determination.” The Falcons are currently 8-15 overall and 2-6 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. TRIO HELPED MANSFIELD – The Mansfield field hockey team finished the season with a 6-12 overall record and a 4-6 mark in the PSAC West but the Mountaineers won their final two games and got big efforts from sophomore Kristie Rollman (Wyoming Valley West), junior Kristy Tutorow (Northeast Area) and freshman Jessi Swingle (Lake-Lehman). Rollman was in the goal for both victories and had nine saves in a 3-2 victory over Slippery Rock and 16 saves in a double-overtime triumph over Mercyhurst. She finished with a 2-6 record giving up 30 goals and collecting 73 saves. “Kristie has had some spectacular games for us,” coach Diane Monkiewicz said. “She worked well with our defense and came up big when we needed her to.” Tutorow finished with four goals and seven assists for 15 points. She had two assists in both victories last weekend. “Kristy is one of the fastest

players in Division II and she really has improved her stick skills and was more of a threat than ever,” Monkiewicz said. “We have relied on her defensively as well and she has come through for us.” Swingle is a defender and had four defensive saves including one against Slippery Rock. “Jessi was one of the biggest surprises of the season,” Monkiewicz said. “She has been our flyer on corners and has come up big on more than one occasion. Experience will only give her more weapons back there.” AYERS BOUNCES BACK – After being slowed by injuries, freshman Reece Ayers (Tunkhannock) is starting to contribute to the High Point men’s cross country team. He recently finished 41st out of 201 runners at the Blue Ridge Open in Boone, N.C. His 8k time was 26:22.1. “Reece has been an excellent addition,” coach Mike Esposito said. “After struggling with injuries, he is really starting to come around.” Esposito feels that Ayers is in the running for Freshman of the Year honors in the Big South Conference and he will have a chance to show his stuff when the Panthers compete in the Big South Championship this Saturday in Conway, S.C. “I am very excited about Reece’s future here and see him as an excellent 10k runner on the track,” the coach said. “He loves to work, is extremely coachable and has fit in with our team very well. The key is for him to remain healthy and build his mileage over time.”

PHILADELHPIA — Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger left the game after taking a vicious stick to the face, leaving Philadelphia concerned over the health of their captain after a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Pronger and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski sprinted for a loose puck in the circle after a rebound off Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on Monday night. Grabovski slapped at the puck, but his stick connected with Pronger’s and the blade shot straight up into the defenseman’s face. Pronger screamed in agony and instantly clutched his face. Hunched over, he skated straight to the bench, his hands over his eyes, and went to the dressing room with 8:02 left in the first period. Jaromir Jagr and Scott Hartnell each scored their first two goals of the season for the Flyers. Pronger did return after the blow that hushed the crowd. Between periods, Danny Briere said the Flyers hoped Pronger would be OK. Hartnell called Pronger one of the “biggest warriors” in the NHL. Pronger may have been struck in the right eye. He does not wear a visor. The protective piece is not required in the

But the ball appeared to glance off Rzepczynski’s knee and trickled harmlessly away for a single that loaded the bases. In the dugout, La Russa immediately threw his hands to his head, a true “Oh, no!” moment. La Russa elected to let his lefty stay in to face the right-handed Napoli, and it didn’t work. Napoli, who came close to a three-run homer in his previous at-bat, sent a drive up the alley against the pitcher with the nickname “Scrabble.” The double off Rzepczynski sure spelled good things for Texas, with excitable manager Ron Washington waving the runners around from the dugout. Darren Oliver earned the win and Neftali Feliz closed for his second save of the Series and sixth of the postseason. After a travel day, the Series will resume at Busch Stadium with Colby Lewis facing Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia. The weather forecast in St. Louis is daunting, calling for rain and temperatures around 50. Adrian Beltre and Mitch Moreland hit solo home runs off

NHL, though several players have had their careers prematurely end after blows to the face. Grabovski was not penalized for the play because it came on a shot. He was whistled for high-sticking only 28 seconds into the game when he nailed Claude Giroux in the face on a faceoff. “It seems like they’re swinging their sticks like crazy,” Hartnell said. Pronger’s injury overshadowed Jagr’s first NHL goal since April 6, 2008. Jagr left to play three seasons in Russia before signing a one-year deal with the Flyers. He split defenders on a breakaway, courtesy of a sweet feed from Giroux, and flipped the puck past Jonas Gustavsson late in the first for the power-play goal. Panthers 2, Canadiens 1 MONTREAL — Jacob Markstrom got his first NHL victory and Scottie Upshall scored 5:02 into the third period to help the Florida Panthers extend Montreal’s losing streak to six with a 2-1 win over the Canadiens on Monday night. Markstrom made 40 saves in his second career start. Tomas Fleischmann scored a powerplay goal in the first for the Panthers, who won their second in a row to improve to 5-3.

Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, helping Texas come back from an early 2-0 deficit. Later, it became a battle of the bullpens and Texas prevailed. Octavio Dotel gave up a leadoff double to Michael Young in the eighth, struck out Beltre and intentionally walked Nelson Cruz. That left it up to Rzepczynski, and the game quickly slipped away.

Phillies decline options for pitchers Oswalt, Lidge The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies have declined the 2012 options for pitchers Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge. Oswalt gets a $2 million buyout instead of $16 million next season. Lidge receives a $1.5 million buyout instead of $12.5

million next year. Oswalt was 9-10 with a 3.69 ERA in 23 starts for the Phillies this past season. The three-time All-Star right-hander was acquired in a trade with Houston on July 29, 2010. He was 16-11 with a 2.96 ERA in 35 starts for Philadelphia.

Lidge went 0-2 with one save and a 1.40 ERA in 25 appearances for the Phillies in 2011. In four seasons with Philadelphia, Lidge was 3-11 with 100 saves and a 3.73 ERA. He was 1-1 with 12 saves in 12 opportunities and a 1.77 ERA in the postseason. Lidge was 48 for 48 in save

chances, including postseason, in helping the Phillies win the 2008 World Series. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team will consider re-signing both players. The fivetime defending NL East champions lost to St. Louis in five games in the division round.

Steelers bracing for two ‘Prove it’ weeks By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers’ lengthy preseason is over. Finally. True, the defending AFC champions improved to 5-2 after a 32-20 win over Arizona on Sunday. Yet even they admit they haven’t exactly been dominant against a largely mediocre schedule. For an organization that lives by the mantra, “the standard is the standard,” there is a definite sense the Steelers aren’t quite the Steelers yet. “It’s good to get the wins, especially going on the road like this and to win, but for us on offense specifically, we want to continue improving,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said after throwing for 361 yards and three scores. “We are not satisfied with where we are at. We feel like we can still improve and that’s good. We need to have that mentality.” They better. Pittsburgh begins a daunting twoweek stretch on Sunday against rested New England (5-1), which is 6-1 against the Steelers when Tom Brady is under center. For an organization that likes to save its best football for December and beyond, there’s a sense of urgency in lateOctober. “I’ve been here for most of those losses, (Brady) has had our number,” linebacker Larry Foote said Monday. “We have to try and correct that this Sunday.” Particularly if the Steelers want to put to rest the “old, slow ... over” mantra that’s dogged them since a season-opening loss to Baltimore, who comes to Heinz Field on Nov. 6. Pittsburgh has righted itself with solid if not always spectacular play. And while they’re hardly complaining about a threegame winning streak, they also know the next two weeks are a significant step up in quality. New England and Baltimore have combined for nine wins. The five teams the Steelers have beaten have combined for just six victories entering Monday. It’s why coach Mike Tomlin didn’t get too high even after watching his team take command late in the third quarter after the Cardinals closed to within 17-14.

Pittsburgh scored the game’s next 15 points to put the game away. Roethlisberger hit Emmanuel Sanders for a 4-yard touchdown pass, the defense forced a safety when LaMarr Woodley pressured Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb into intentional grounding and Shaun Suisham kicked a couple of field goals as the Steelers finished with the kind of flair they’ve lacked at times. “Hopefully that is a window to what we are capable of as a 53-man unit,” Tomlin said. It was as close as the Steelers have come to excelling in all three phases all season. The defense kept Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald in check, the offense moved the ball with ease behind the play of Roethlisberger and wide receiver Mike Wallace — who teamed up with Roethlisberger for a team-record 95-yard touchdown pass — and Antonio Brown nearly returned a punt for a late touchdown. All positive signs, to be sure. All of which will be meaningless if Brady comes in and has his way with the Steelers again. The 2007 NFL MVP has carved up Pittsburgh’s vaunted defense during his career, completing nearly 68 percent of his passes for 2,008 yards and 14 touchdowns against just three interceptions. The Steelers are wary but not in awe. Woodley is playing arguably the best football of his five-year career, recording sacks in three straight games and solidifying a Pittsburgh run defense that has been suspect against quality opponents. The Patriots, however, present a unique challenge, one the Steelers know they must answer. Yes, the season isn’t quite at its halfway point yet, but Pittsburgh knows beating the Patriots now could pay off down the road. “You’ve got to stack the wins if you want to get invited to the dance,” Foote said. Then again, Heinz Field hasn’t particularly been an advantage for the Steelers when Brady plays. He’s won a pair of AFC championships on Pittsburgh’s home field and is on pace to set an NFL records for passing yards in a season.

Quick!” Becky took Abby’s hand. “We must go home!” The sisters climbed off the big rock together. Abby tried not to look at the ship in the water, or to think about the sailors who were on it. Becky began to jump from boulder to boulder, and Abby followed her. It was hard to go so fast! The wind blew their hair into their eyes and blew their long dresses out like sails. Abby was afraid she would step on her dress and fall. On most days, she and Becky loved to race each other over these rocks, or to see who could jump farther from one to the other. But they were not playing now. They had to get home as fast as they could. Father had told them to go inside the lighthouse and bolt the door if they saw a British ship come near. And this ship must be British. An American ship would go to sandy Scituate Harbor, not to these cliffs, where a ship could break on the rocks. Abby stepped carefully, trying to keep up with Becky. Some of the boulders were wet and slippery. It was dangerous to jump across them this fast. You could cut your foot on a sharp shell. You could slip and fall and break a bone— “Becky, wait!” she cried out. “I can’t jump so fast!” “You must!” Becky said. But she stopped for just a minute, to wait for Abby. Abby took a quick look at the ocean. The ship was still there, and it looked bigger now. It was coming closer! She could not see if it had guns. Becky took her hand again and they went on. It was easy to climb over some of the boulders, but in other places they had to pull themselves up by their hands. The sun was so bright that it hurt her eyes. The

STORY SO FAR: Abby and Becky are far from the lighthouse when they see a ship sailing toward it!

boulders were hot under Abby’s bare feet, and there were sharp little stones on top of some of them. Her long dress got in the way when she tried to jump. Abby tried hard to keep up with her sister. But Becky had longer legs. It was hard to go as fast as she did. “You are doing well, Abby.” Becky helped her up on the next big rock with a little push. “Just a bit farther,” she said, “and we will be home.” They had come to the rock where Abby had found the starfish before. Abby wished they had just left it here. Now the starfish was safe, but she and Becky were not! The British ship was sailing closer every minute. If only Father had not gone to town today! If the ship dropped anchor behind the cliffs, Father would not be able to see it from Scituate Harbor. No one in town would see it. Abby kept her eyes on her feet and tried not to look at the ocean as she followed Becky back across the rocks. The sun was so hot! She was almost out of breath, and her foot hurt where she had stepped on some little stones. Becky grabbed her hand again and pulled her on. Just then she stepped into a little tide pool and slipped on the wet rock. “Oh!” she cried out. Becky held her tightly and did not let her fall down. Becky was so strong! Abby always felt safe with her sister. But now she badly wanted Father to be here too. “Here we are!” Becky said. They had reached the wide, flat rocks around the lighthouse. Without a word, the two girls dropped hands, held their dresses up and ran straight across the rocks to the door. The tall white lighthouse rose high above their heads, into the blue sky. Now they were standing so close that they could not see around it. But Abby knew that right behind the lighthouse, close to the cliffs, the British ship would be there.

DEP offers flood funding The state Department of Environmental Protection is offering emergency funding to flood-affected small businesses in 33 counties to make energy efficiency and pollution prevention improvements. Projects eligible for 50 percent reimbursement grants of up to $9,500 could include high-efficiency lighting systems, building insulation, air sealing, recycling and reuse systems, and new water-conservation technologies. Grants are available to for-profit small-business owners whose facilities are in counties that were declared eligible for disaster relief by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. About $400,000 total is available and comes from the state’s Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. Costs incurred between Aug. 26 and Dec. 31, 2011, are eligible for grant consideration. More information and eligibility requirements are available by calling 717-772-8909. Applications are available at www.dep.state.pa.us.

Municipalities and authorities can issue bonds for educational institutions, which get tax-free funding at a low interest rate. The schools themselves cannot obtain such loans directly. By going through the authority, rather than on its own, the school will pay interest over the 25-year life of the loan at 3.37 percent. A private loan would have meant interest of 3.9 percent. While it doesn’t sound like much, the savings on the interest payments will be about $750,000. Thomas A. O’Connor, the authority’s solicitor, said the practice is not uncommon and both the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority and the Dallas Area Municipal Authority have in the past helped the university obtain lower interest loans.

BEFORE encountering the “Breakout” I didn’t give Pantech products a second thought. I’d heard of the company, but I didn’t know much about it. It turns out that it’s South Korea’s third largest mobile phone producer – just behind Samsung and LG, names that are widely known and wellrespected. I didn’t have any expectations one way or another when I cracked open the box and powered up the phone. I noted that it was extremely light, compared to my HTC Thunderbolt. From a style perspective the Breakout bears a passing resemblance to some Samsung devices – muted chrome trim, tapered edges, etc. It does have some physical buttons on the front, bucking the trend of integrated, touch sensitive hardkeys. The underside of the case is rubberized and feels sturdy. It’s textured, not just for decoration, but, as I later noticed,

FedEx expects to handle 9 percent more packages on its busiest day of the year — now projected for Dec. 12. The world’s second-largest package delivery company thinks it could move 17 million packages that day, nearly double what it normally ships, as online holiday shopping continues to rise and the company benefits from a partnership with the U.S. Postal Service. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FedEx Corp. expects more than 260 million shipments. That’s a 12 percent increase from 2010.

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

The bucolic Misericordia University campus in Dallas Township, is undergoing dramatic construction upheaval as new sports fields are laid down and a new residence hall is completed.

Entities such as hospitals, schools and other not-for-profit groups can use the authority’s lower interest loan powers to fund projects. There is no risk to a municipal authority for acting as the conduit, O’Connor said. “We simply lend our name.” He said there’s no cost for the authority at all. In fact, university spokesman Paul Krzywicki said, the college actually pays for all the authority’s legal fees associated with the loan and pays the authority $10,000. Other than the financial gift, O’Connor said the benefit to the authority is minimal. “It’s just a spirit of goodwill throughout the Back Mountain,” the attorney said.

The college plans to use the money to pay for myriad projects planned for the campus including a new baseball field, an athletic field house, student housing, classroom space and other upgrades. A public hearing will be held on the issue in O’Connor’s 398 Wyoming Ave., Exeter, law office on Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. O’Connor said the public is permitted to ask questions, raise objections or give general input in support of the loan backing. Krzywicki said the Dallas Area Municipal Authority may be asked next year to serve as a conduit for a $3 million loan. The state permits authorities to back up to only $10 million in loans each year.

ALLAS TWP. -- With more than $13 million worth of construction projects under way or planned for its campus, Misericordia University has found a way to borrow millions of dollars while saving hundreds of thousands in interest payments. The not-for-profit university has asked the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority to act as a “conduit issuer” to help it secure a $10 million loan from PNC

Harley-Davidson Inc. is recalling about 308,000 motorcycles to fix a switch problem that can cause failure of the brake lights and possibly even the rear brakes themselves. The problem affects Touring, CVO Touring and Trike motorcycles from the 2009 through 2012 model years. They were built between June 6, 2008, and Sept. 16, 2011. Harley says it will notify owners of the recall. Dealers will install a rear brake light switch kit free of charge. The recall affects about 251,000 motorcycles in the U.S. alone, with the balance in other countries.

WASHINGTON — Crippled by plunging tax revenues, state and local governments have shed over a half million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. And, after adding jobs early in the downturn, the federal government is cutting too. States cut 49,000 jobs over the past year and localities 210,000, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics. There are 30,000 fewer federal workers now than a year ago — including 5,300 Postal Service jobs canceled last month. By contrast, private-sector jobs have increased by1.6 million over the past 12 months. But the state, local and federal job losses have become a drag on efforts to nudge the nation’s unemployment rate down from 9.1 percent. State and local governments are usually engines of job growth during recoveries. But not now, said economist Heidi Shierholz of the labor-aligned Economic Policy Institute. “State governments are not allowed to run deficits. So the private sector is expanding while the public sector is shedding jobs — to the tune of 35,000 jobs a month,” she said. President Barack Obama sought to ease the crunch by including $35 billion to prevent layoffs of police, firefighters and teachers in his $447 billion jobs package. But that big bill hit a GOP wall in Congress. The recession-forced shrinkage of state, local and federal workforces — even as the federal debt continues to swell — is not exactly what tea party activists and other fiscal conservatives had in mind. Cities and counties are hampered by lower property tax revenue because of collapsing real estate values. States are hurt by lower income and sales tax revenue because of the deep recession and stubborn unemployment. Absent a federal helping hand, “the states will certainly continue to lose jobs,” Shapiro said Rob Shapiro, a former undersecretary of commerce in the Clinton administration and now chairman of Sonecon, an economic consulting firm.

Today will be the nicest day of the next ﬁve as very active weather patterns develop this week to guarantee us more rain. Indeed, we are getting to that time of year when jet stream winds are increasing, moving the weather from west to east at a much faster rate. Therefore, clear skies tend to last only 12 to 24 hours. In fact, skies will go from clear to cloudy tonight and showers will arrive tomorrow morning as warmer air makes a quick run at us. On Thursday, colder air will start to trickle in with rain and then maybe a little snow by evening before clearing sets in for Friday. -Tom Clark

Erin Carr-Jordan of Arizona is crusading against bacteria laden play areas at fast food restaurants across the United States. Her activism began this spring after she followed her toddler through an Arizona McDonald’s playground and was shocked by the filth.

Fast-food playgrounds fail

THE YUCK TEST By MONICA ENG & JARED S. HOPKINS

n a humid Monday morning Erin Carr-Jordan was crawling through the tubey slides of a McDonald’s PlayPlace on the West Side of Chicago. When she got to the top of the colorful structure, she peered through a cloudy plastic window and mouthed the words: “This is bad. This is really bad.” Since this spring, the 36-year-old mom and developmental psychologist from Arizona said she has visited and videotaped more than 50 such playlands as well as sent swabs for microbial testing. “Without a doubt this was one of the worst and definitely in the top five,” she said after climbing out of the tubes. “There was food everywhere.” A reporter crawled through a few

vacation, says she’s seen similar conditions in many restaurants across the country. She’s found that some fast food companies regularly clean their playlands and are happy to provide customers with their cleaning protocols — she singles out Chick-fil-A — but representatives of Burger King, Chuck E. Cheese and McDonald’s were slow to respond. Her activism began after she followed her toddler through an Arizona McDonald’s playground and was shocked by the filth. Several calls to the manager yielded no action, she said, so Carr-Jordan posted a video tour of the food- and graffiti-tainted structure on YouTube.

Minorities face increased risk of breast cancer Breast cancer unites women of all color and creed under a common banner of hope. But not all breasts are created equal. Different minority populations, as well as subgroups within those populations, face distinct challenges and risk factors when it comes to breast health. “We tend to (group) everything in terms that ‘one size fits all’ as opposed to looking at the disease as it impacts different populations,” said Lovell Jones, director of the Center for Research on Minority Health at the

women have the highest rates of pre-menopausal breast cancer and are more likely to die from the disease at any age. Socioeconomic status and inadequate access to quality health care are partly to blame for higher morbidity among black women, but genes also play an important role, especially in the younger set, Jones said. African-American women are more than twice as likely as white women to be diagnosed African-Americans with early-onset, virulent tuThough Caucasians have the mors called triple-negatives, so highest incidence of breast cancer overall, African-American See MINORITIES, Page 2C

There’s been a push in recent years to personalize medicine and policy to address the specific social, environmental and genetic risk factors of those subgroups for more effective screening and treatment. Until that happens on an institutional level, it’s up to individuals and their doctors to understand individual risks.

Q: What do the “BUN” and “creatinine” lab tests mean? — R.W., Philadelphia A: BUN stands for “Blood Urea Nitrogen,” and represents a breakdown product of protein digestion. Protein is digested into amino acids. Amino acids contain nitrogen, which is split off to form ammonia waste, while the rest of the amino acid is used to provide calories (fuel) for your body. The liver helps in this protein breakdown, eventually combining the ammonia waste to form the main waste product of protein breakdown: urea. Urea is released by the liver into the blood stream as blood urea nitrogen (BUN). It’s then filtered and removed by the kidneys, ending up in our urine. Creatinine has to do with muscle. With use, muscle cells constantly die and are replaced with new ones. Under normal situations, muscle cells die at a pretty constant and predictable rate. When muscle cells break down, creatinine is the end waste product. Under normal conditions, creatinine formation and its blood concentration are actually pretty constant. Doctors use these BUN and serum creatinine numbers to evaluate kidney function. The BUN level can rise or fall independent of how well the kidneys are functioning, so doctors look not only at the BUN and creatinine values, but also the ratio of BUN to creatinine. BUN elevation out of proportion to the creatinine level might indicate a dehydrated state; gastrointestinal bleeding; heart attack; urinary tract obstruction from prostate tumor or kidney stone; shock; excessive protein intake; excessive protein breakdown from starvation; or congestive heart failure. Lower than normal BUN values are seen in liver failure, malnutrition; low protein diet; and overhydration. Creatinine is produced at a fairly constant rate, so a sudden rise in its level indicates a large decline in kidney function. The normal serum creatinine level can vary depending upon how muscular a person is. A creatinine level of 1.4 in a bodybuilder may be normal, but may represent markedly decreased kidney function in a petite elderly woman who might be expected to have a creatinine level of 1.0 or less. Because kidneys try their best to get rid of waste when kidney function declines over time, a lot of kidney function can be lost before you’ll see a rise in the creatinine and BUN levels.

named because they are not fueled by estrogen, progesterone or the HER2neu protein and therefore do not respond to current therapies that block or eliminate those hormones. Women in West Africa are similarly afflicted, Jones said. Triple-negatives can be removed through surgery if caught early. Trouble is, young women and African-American women tend to have particularly dense breast tissue, making it hard for even a mammogram to catch some tumors. “It’s like trying to find a polar bear in a snow bank,” said Elizabeth Thompson, president of Susan G.

Asians and Pacific Islanders At the other end of the spectrum, Asian and Pacific Islander women have the lowest rates of breast cancer and morbidity of all the ethnic groups in the U.S. But those statistics are dangerously misleading because they can give Asian women a false sense of security, said Scarlett Lin Gomez, research scientist at the Cancer Prevention Institute of California. The subpopulations tell a very different story. Women of Japanese descent have as high a breast cancer rate as white women, perhaps because they’ve been in the U.S. longest and are exposed to the same environmental and lifestyle risks, Gomez said. Filipina women have the lowest five-year survival rate of any other ethnic group, for reasons unknown. American-born Asians and immigrants living in the U.S. for a while get breast cancer up to 50

What can women do with this information? As a general rule, women should get a clinical breast exam every three years starting at age 20 and a mammogram and clinical breast exam every year starting at 40, Thompson said. But populations at higher risk should be more vigilant.

A key is breast self-awareness, Thompson said. Women should know their family history, calculate their risk and determine with their doctor a screening schedule. They also should become familiar with their breasts so that they’ll notice an unusual lump, hard knot, swelling or skin change. Healthy lifestyle choices also are crucial, Thompson said. They include limiting alcohol consumption and hormone use, watching what you eat, exercising and, if possible, breast-feeding.

PLAY Continued from Page 1C

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was unacceptable, completely unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? said McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman Danya Proud, who said the video caught the attention of the restaurantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; corporate offices in Oak Brook, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is not reflective of our business and our restaurants. As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned it was an isolated matter. And we took immediate corrective action to thoroughly sanitize the PlayPlace.â&#x20AC;? McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s says it requires the facilities to be thoroughly cleaned each day and the area kept free of debris and soiled surfaces. Burger King said its standards require â&#x20AC;&#x153;daily, weekly and monthly cleaning of playground equipment, pads and foams,â&#x20AC;? as well as professional cleaning on a quarterly basis. Chick-fil-A corporate spokesman Don Perry said there are regular cleaning schedules for the establishments that offer play areas.

And Chuck E. Cheese said it has eliminated ball pits, requires that â&#x20AC;&#x153;all existing play equipment is cleaned with sanitizerâ&#x20AC;? and removes graffiti. Both of these companies noted that hand sanitizer is available at the playlands. Carr-Jordan is videotaping and swabbing playlands in between visits to museums and friends as she travels cross-country with her husband and four children. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found alarming conditions in rich and poor areas alike. Joan Rose, a co-director of the Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment at Michigan State University, said she is not familiar with Carr-Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings but stresses that places that serve children need disinfection policies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids often are exposed more (they put their hands in the mouth more often) and are also more vulnerable to more severe illness,â&#x20AC;? Rose wrote in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is extremely important that the industry (like McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), facilities themselves and states have good public health policies around

cleaning and disinfection. These can be evaluated and monitored so we know we are achieving a safe environment for our kids.â&#x20AC;? Carr-Jordan has been sending her swab samples to a lab that she said found Staphylococcus and other bacteria. Arizona microbiology professor Annissa Furr is working with her to collect and analyze the data to spur legislators to act on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the ultimate goals is to put regulations in place that would require cleaning these places once a week or month or whatever comes back as necessary,â&#x20AC;? Furr said. Public health departments currently inspect restaurants with food safety, not playground safety, in mind. Jose Munoz of the Chicago Department of Public Health said a city restaurant inspector could not cite a restaurant for a dirty playland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our inspectors do monitor for insect and rodent activity throughout the facility,â&#x20AC;? Munoz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if it happens to be in that area, the establishment would be cited.â&#x20AC;?

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 PAGE 5C

Families may not be thrilled to learn about different relationships Dear Abby: I read with interest your excellent advice to “Nowhere and Everywhere” (Aug. 17), who asked about letting family members know about her polyamorous relationship. As a counselor, nurse and consulting hypnotist in private practice, I counsel people every day in developing healthy, happy, open relationships. Polyamory and other forms of non-monogamous relationships are becoming more widely practiced and accepted, as many individuals and couples find the limits of traditional marriage do not meet their needs. It is not realistic to expect family members to immediately accept this

DEAR ABBY ADVICE lifestyle if they were raised with different beliefs about sexual exclusivity in marriage. I advise couples to “test the waters” first with the most openminded family member by bringing up the subject of a “friend” who is in an open relationship. If the relative reacts in a neutral or positive way, it may be safe to disclose the truth. Ask this person how the rest of the family might respond to the news. Couples should carefully assess whether their relationship is strong enough to withstand potential rejection. There is a price to pay for being open, and one for staying secretive.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

The latter requires lying to family members and excluding one partner from family events, causing pain for everyone. (The cornerstone of polyamorous relationships is HONESTY.) Families do become more accepting over time if they see that the couple’s marriage is not threatened by the polyamory and that everyone seems happy. I advise couples to expect drama and disapproval at first, but to be patient and keep reaching out to family members to give them time to get used to this new situation. — Kathy in Berkeley Dear Kathy: Thank you for writing. Responses to that controversial letter were passionate and numerous. My newspaper readers comment:

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: In response to “N and E’s” request for a tip on how to let her boyfriend’s conservative family know about their illicit, immoral polyamorous relationship, my advice is to say nothing. If she’s asked directly, only then should she defer to the boyfriend to explain their unorthodox lifestyle to his parents. Why does she feel the need to flaunt her private sexual relations? If she loves the two men, her actions will speak for themselves without having to offend the family’s ingrained sensibilities. — On Higher Ground in Salem, Mass. Dear Abby: My husband and I have

been non-monogamously married for many years. My lover joined the household four years ago. Some members of my family welcome all three of us, some don’t. One, who doesn’t otherwise identify as conservative, has cut me off. I’m sad that my happy family life offends them, but my household is my primary family unit, and I don’t lie or cover it up. Different family styles work for different people. Why is this hard to grasp? — Jean in Providence 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). There’s no way around it. No matter how attractive and aligned with the universe you are, at some point getting what you want will require effort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You no longer feel the need to put in your two cents about another person’s life. You can tell that this person is going to work things out in his or her own unique way, and you’re content to quietly watch. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The truth packs a powerful punch. Like a strong drink, it takes some getting used to. Not everyone can handle a full glass of it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Increasing your self-reliance will not push a loved one away. It will, in fact, make your relationship stronger. You are growing toward a less dependent but more bonded arrangement with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whereas many around you seem dissatisfied, you tune in to your environment and notice much that is good in it. You can be a quiet leader in this regard, influencing others with nothing more than your manner of being. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Out of these snatches of things seen, heard or otherwise perceived, you form some unique conclusions. Your point of view is a rare one, and with a little creativity, you can turn it into great art. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Punctuality is important to you, though today you may find it stressful to accomplish. One way

not to be late is to have nowhere to be. Consider clearing your schedule for a few days. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone can benefit from objective feedback. But not everyone can take it. You’ll be among the emotionally strong ones. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be emotionally resilient and strong. You will find out what people think about you, and you’ll use the information to hone your image and work to create a maximum effect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a friendly person who realizes that not everyone can be as outgoing as you. A happygo-lucky mood makes it easier for you to put yourself out there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be an excellent negotiator because you won’t get caught up in matters of pride. There’s little that would hurt your feelings about the deal anyhow; it’s just business. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your creed is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You enter into new situations, ready to think on your feet. Don’t pressure yourself to take things too far, though. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 25). Your star qualities will be recognized, in part because you sense what your best ideas are and push forward until you see them in reality. There’s a career breakthrough in December. January offers new excitement on a personal level. You’ll see new parts of the world in March and June. Love signs are Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 20, 40 and 13.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Never known to fail Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me here in you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to help me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me here in you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who had recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goals, You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evils against me, and in all instances of my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in spite of all illusions, and pray to be with you someday in your eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. To be said three consecutive days, after the third day, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. S.A.S.
