Officials say broker Joseph J. Joyce Associates didn’t have required $5M in errors-and-omissions coverage

Insurer’s discrepancies being probed By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials are investigating discrepancies in information provided by the county’s insurance broker, Pittstonbased Joseph J. Joyce Associates Inc. Companies that bid on county insurance must carry at least $5 million per claim in errors-and-

omissions coverage. The county underlines the word “minimum” before the $5 million requirement to emphasize the point in specifications provided to prospective bidders. The Joyce firm supplied the county with a certificate of liability insurance last year and this year stating that it had the $5 million coverage through Darwin Se-

lect Insurance Co., but county Controller Walter Griffith said he obtained documents from Darwin that indicate Joyce Associates never purchased that much coverage. Griffith said Darwin provided paperwork showing that Joyce Associates had $1 million in errors-and-omissions liability insurance per claim from Jan. 15,

2010, to Jan. 15, 2011, and $3 million in coverage from Jan. 15, 2011, to Jan. 15, 2012. Darwin provided the paperwork after Griffith threatened the company with a subpoena, he said. “It appears that the amount of insurance they’re carrying does not coincide with the amount requested by the county,” Griffith

WILKES-BARRE – To the chagrin of the Republican mayoral candidate, the Libertarian Party candidate’s campaign is suggesting the GOP’s Lisa Cope abandon her challenge to oust incumbent Tom Leighton. The idea wasn’t well-received. Libertarian Party candidate Betsy Summers, 54, and Cope, 45, are challenging the Cope 51-year-old Democrat’s bid for a third fouryear term. “Maybe I look at things a little differently,” said Lou Ja- Summers sikoff, chairman of the Libertarian Party in Pennsylvania. “I thought, if both women were able to discuss together without interference from campaign staff, a common solution might be reached. At the very least, they would walk away with a clear understanding of each other, knowing they could work together for a common vision.” Cope’s manager, Frank Sorick, does see it differently. “This whole idea is ridiculous,” Sorick said. “Sounds to me like a Leighton initiative. I’m now wondering who is running the Summers campaign.”

Trial in shooting death of woman delayed The trial of Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks, 22, will now begin on Jan. 30. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The trial of a West Hazleton man scheduled to begin Monday in the shooting death of a 20-year-old woman has been continued until next year. The trial of Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks, 22, will now begin on Jan. 30 after a request to continue

the trial was made by attorneys in the case. Defense attorneys in the homicide case are awaiting test results on Westbrooks DNA evidence and have until Dec. 31 to have that testing completed. The term of Judge Joseph Van Jura, who had been presiding over the trial, expires at the end of the year, and a new judge will likely be assigned to the case.

Teen boy admits to role in taxi robbery Adult charges were decertified against Anthony Dedes after his admission. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A 15-yearold boy on Monday admitted to his role in an armed robbery of a taxi driver in August. Anthony Robert Dedes, of North Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, made an admission to a single count of robbery in Luzerne County Juvenile Court, minutes after adult charges against him were decertified. City police allege Dedes, a 13year-old boy and Travis Matthews, 24, both of Wilkes-Barre, robbed and pistol whipped Burgit City Taxi driver Dennis McCann on Arch Street on Aug. 2. Dedes told police he brandished a knife during the robbery, according to the criminal complaint. After the robbery, Burgit Taxi owner Robbie Burgit pledged to pursue prosecution, telling those responsible to “kiss their moms and girlfriends goodbye. I’m taking it all the way.” Burgit could not be reached for comment on Monday. Assistant District Attorney

Mamie Phillips told Judge David Lupas she was unable to reach Burgit after a series of messages were left at his business last week. Police had charged Dedes with three felony counts each of robbery and criminal conspiracy and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault and criminal conspiracy. The charges were filed after McCann said he was pistol whipped and robbed by three men on Arch Street. Dedes’ attorney, William Watt, filed a motion seeking to transfer the case from adult to juvenile court. Judge William Amesbury granted that request Monday before Dedes pleaded guilty to a single count of robbery before Lupas. Prosecutors withdrew the other charges against Dedes. Dedes remains jailed and was expected to be transferred from the county prison to a juvenile detention center in Northampton County. Matthews is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Nov. 9 in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. The 13-year-old boy faced related charges in juvenile court. Dedes will be sentenced at a later date.

EPA: Source of Nanticoke mercury spill is unknown Teenage girl discovered the metal beneath a bridge and brought it into school.

Times Leader Staff

NANTICOKE -- The federal Environmental Protection Agency issued a report Monday regarding a spill of the element mercury that was discovered last month beneath a bridge near Allen and Poplar streets in Nanticoke. According to the report, a teenage girl discovered the mercury, a liquid metal known to be toxic, on Sept. 15. She placed some of the mercury in a salt shaker and took it to her science teacher in Greater Nanticoke Area School District, who notified environmental

POLICE BLOTTER WILKES-BARRE – City police reported the following: • Raul Sosa, of West River Street, reported Monday a windshield on his vehicle was smashed on West River Street. • Elwood Rosengrant, of Oak Street, reported Monday a windshield on his vehicle was smashed on Oak Street. • Francis Collis, of Grove Street, reported Friday his credit card was used to make an unauthorized purchase. • Police said Geraldo George Langlois, 28, of Jackson Street, Edwardsville, was alleged in possession of heroin during a traffic stop at Parish and Brown streets on Sunday. • Police said they cited David Kratzer, 20, of New Jersey, with public drunkenness and underage consumption of alcohol after he was allegedly found intoxicated on Carey Avenue at 2:27 a.m. Monday.

officials. The report does not indicate how much mercury was present and the source of the spill remains unknown, the report said. The EPA investigated the incident and conducted tests at the spill site, as well as the home and school locker of the girl who found the substance. Elevated levels of mercury vapor were detected in her locker and carpeting at her home. The locker was cleaned and carpet has been removed, negating any danger to the public. The report recommends that further action be taken to decontaminate the site where the mercury was found. The estimated cost of the clean up is $18,000, the report said.

HAZLE TWP. – Kazimiesz Pulawski Political Club, 608 North St., was recently cited by the state police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement with failing to maintain complete and truthful records for two years.

Assistant District Attorneys William Finnegan and Mark Makowski are prosecuting. Westbrooks is represented by attorneys John Pike and Allyson Kacmarski. Westbrooks is charged in the November 2010 shooting death of Alicia Weaver, of Hazleton. An alleged eyewitness to the shooting, Daniel Smith, 23, of Brooklyn, N.Y., testified at a January preliminary hearing that he saw Westbrooks holding a gun when Weaver was killed. Smith said Westbrooks and Weaver were arguing about money that West-

brooks suspected she stole. In court papers, state police at Hazleton said Westbrooks and another man approached Weaver while she was talking with a friend, Christopher Gonzalez, on Wyoming Street in downtown Hazleton on Nov. 13. Gonzalez told police Westbrooks took a “very aggressive tone” with Weaver, asking where his money was, and Weaver and Westbrooks “disappeared” shortly afterward. Weaver was found in the same clothing she was wearing when

last seen with Westbrooks, police said. Smith told police he was with Westbrooks when he drove Weaver from Wyoming Street to his apartment and then to a dirt road in Foster Township, where they all got out of the SUV. He told police he heard a gunshot, turned and saw Weaver fall to the ground. He saw Westbrooks fire about four more rounds at Weaver as she lay on the ground. Westbrooks then returned to the SUV, put the gun in his waistband then drove to New York City.

County hires retirement fund firm Morgan Stanley Smith Barney will oversee employee pensions for three years. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney was hired Monday to oversee Luzerne County’s employee pension fund for another three years. County Retirement Board members -- the three county commissioners and Controller Walter Griffith -- said they are pleased with the company’s performance. The fifth board member, Treasurer Mike Morreale, was absent. The pension fund was valued at $191 million Monday -- a $33 million increase since Smith Barney took over as pension advisor in September 2008, replacing Merrill Lynch. The fund paid about $42 million in benefits to retirees during that period, and taxpayers and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer against Roblero. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Nov. 9 before District Judge Joseph Zola in Hazleton.

LOCAL Attorney wants info from Leighton Attorney for Denise Carey intends to file a writ of execution to seize assets for $195,000 in fees.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The attorney for city firehouse activist Denise Carey said the city’s reported payment of a nearly $70,000 judgment Carey obtained does not relieve Mayor Tom Leighton from having to provide personal financial information she requested. Attorney Cynthia Pollick said she believes Leighton must still provide the information since she intends to file a

writ of execution to seize his assets to satisfy a separate judgment of roughly $195,000 Pollick is due in attorney fees. John Dean, the city’s attorney, filed a Carey motion Friday that sought to vacate a court order that directed him and Pollick to file a joint confidentiality agreement relating to the release of Leighton’s financial data. Pollick is seeking data regarding the value of certain assets Leighton holds. She contends she needs the information so that she can file the writ to attempt to seize the assets. Dean said the issue is moot because

the city’s insurance carrier has issued a check to Carey for $69,214, which satisfies a jury verdict Carey obtained in November 2008, plus interest. The jury issued the award after determining Leighton had retaliated against Carey by seeking attorney fees related to her challenge of the closure of a city fire station. Pollick said Monday that neither she nor Carey had yet received the check. Assuming it is received, that doesn’t preclude Pollick from filing a writ of execution so that she can seize assets to satisfy the judgment for her fees, she said. “Regardless of the check, we are still moving forward and the financial information is needed,” Pollick said. “You

can’t get out of it just because you think you’ve paid part of the judgment.” Dean said Pollick is not entitled to collect on the judgment for the attorney fees because there is an outstanding appeal, filed by Pollick, regarding that matter. Pollick had sought roughly $240,000 in attorney fees and costs, but a federal judge cut that to $195,710. She appealed that ruling to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. “When you appeal a judgment there is a stay in place,” Dean said. “Because we are a municipality, we don’t have to post a bond.” Dean said the issue will have to be decided by U.S. District Judge Sylvia Rambo, who is presiding over the case.

WWII vet receives medals

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, presented long-overdue medals to 86-year-old World War II veteran Albert Everett Jr. of Berwick on Monday. While in the U.S. Navy, Everett served nearly four years on the USS Bache, DD-470, from its commissioning in 1942, during which time the Bache earned eight battle stars. After World War II, Everett stayed with the Navy in the reserves until 1948. Everett contacted Barletta’s office because he believed he was eligible for a medal he did not receive. The Navy determined he was not eligible for that particular medal, but discovered that he was eligible for four other medals he had not received. The medals Everett received for the first time are the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Discharge Button, the Honorable Service Lapel Pin and the Philippine Liberation Medal. Everett was also re-awarded the World War II Victory Medal and the Asiatic Campaign Medal. WILKES-BARRE

WILKES-BARRE – After months of anticipation, today was supposed to mark the debut of the Tribute Site Sculpture on the River Common Park.

Dryfoos, an artist from Sugarloaf, sketched an idea after he visited the park along the Susquehanna River and made a miniature model that Preby has been referring to since March as he fabricates a 24-foot-high stainless sculpture at his Apple Street Welding & Manufacturing shop in Larksville. Preby said that when he undertook the project, he was unsure what he was getting into and said the work has been more difficult than anticipated because it grew in size from the initial vision. “I’m glad I have the extra time to get it quite right,” Preby said. This is not the first time the debut date has been delayed. In July, Barber indicated the piece

order scheduling a specific date for the trial, but that it was expected to begin in the new year. Cometa said he would need the extended time to also try to obtain experts

to testify. Assistant district attorneys Frank McCabe and Mamie Phillips are prosecuting the case. According to court papers, on May 1, police said, Beamer shot and killed Samantha Claudio. Police said Beamer was at a West Shawnee Avenue residence with his brother, John Bogdon, and Claudio, when Bogdon asked if Claudio was leaving around midnight. An argument began between the siblings, police said. Beamer asked Bog-

don to leave and placed a live round into a 9 mm pistol. Court papers say Beamer said he held the gun in one hand while grabbing Bogdon’s shirt with his other as Bogdon threw punches. The gun discharged, police said, and Claudio screamed and ran into a nearby kitchen and collapsed. Beamer’s mother came up from a second-floor apartment and he asked her to call 911. “I’m sorry; I accidentally pulled the trigger,” Beamer told police when they asked where the shooter was. Beamer told police the gun was in a room on a couch, where it was later found wrapped in a shirt with what appeared to be blood, court papers say. Beamer told police he found the gun two months earlier along a trail in the Plymouth Flats area of Plymouth Township.

A special Dallas School Board meeting scheduled for Monday evening was canceled and has not been rescheduled. Superintendent Frank Galicki said he could not comment further because the planned meeting involved a personnel issue. Galicki said the meeting may be rescheduled. But the regular work session is set for Nov. 7 with the regular meeting set for Nov. 14, so the board may opt to wait until one of those meetings. WASHINGTON, D.C.

Casey backs drug ban bill

U.S. Senator Bob Casey, D-Scranton, sent a letter Monday to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urging a vote on a bill that would effectively ban dangerous designer drugs known as K2 and bath salts.

WASHINGTON

Cain calls harassment accusation ‘witch hunt’

enying he sexually harassed anyone, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Monday he was falsely accused in the 1990s while he was head of the National Restaurant Association, and he branded revelation of the allegations a “witch hunt.” The former pizza company executive was responding to a Politico report that said the trade group gave financial settlements to at least two female employees who had accused Cain of inappropriate sexual behavior. He said he had no knowledge of whether the association provided any such settlements, and he declined to address specifics of the accusations or the resolution. Cain said an investigation into accusations of impropriety while he was the head of the restaurant group determined they were baseless. KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN

Suicide bombers kill 5 near U.N. center

Insurgents driving a suicide truck bomb and attacking on foot killed five people, including three United Nations employees, near the offices of the U.N.’s refugee agency in the southern city of Kandahar on Monday, officials said. Afghan forces and the militants exchanged fire for nearly seven hours before the militants were killed. One insurgent slammed an explosives-rigged pickup into a checkpoint near the UNHCR’s offices at about 6:10 a.m., and immediately afterward, three insurgents rushed into area, which houses several international aid organizations, the Interior Ministry said. UNITED NATIONS

U.N. urges Libya to control weapons

The U.N. Security Council is urging Libyan authorities to prevent shoulder-fired missiles and other arms purchased by Moammar Gadhafi from getting into the outside hands. The Russian-drafted resolution adopted unanimously by the council on Monday also calls on the Libyan government to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles in coordination with international authorities. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro said earlier this month that Libya was believed to have about 20,000 such missiles in its arsenals before civil war began in March. Meanwhile, NATO’s top official praised the alliance’s 7month sea and air campaign in Libya — key in ousting Gadhafi — saying the mission’s end Monday marks the close of a “successful chapter in NATO’s history.”

Northeast faces days without power

High winds and wet, heavy snow brought down trees, branches and wires. By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press

WAYLAND, Mass. — Hundreds of thousands of people across the Northeast shivered at the prospect of days without heat or lights after a freak October snowstorm over the weekend, and many towns postponed trick-or-treating Monday in what seemed like a mean Halloween prank to some children. Families huddled under blankets and winter coats at home or waited out the crisis in shelters as utility crews struggled to fix power lines brought down by the storm. Hundreds of schools closed, giving youngsters one of the earliest snow days on record. “Such a small storm, but such a big disaster,” said Marina Shen, who spent Sunday night with her husband and dog at a middle school in Wayland, a Boston suburb of 13,000 where half the homes lost power. Just a few inches fell in Wayland, and most of it had melted by Monday, but overnight temperatures fell below freezing. “The house is really, really cold. You cannot do anything. It’s

so dark, cold,” Shen said. “Here they give us a hot shower.” From Maryland to Maine, high winds and wet, heavy snow brought down trees, branches and wires Saturday and Sunday. Snowfall amounts ranged from less than inch in some places to 32 inches in the small town of Peru, Mass., in the Berkshire

Mountains. The storm was blamed for at least 12 deaths, mostly caused by falling trees, traffic accidents or electrocutions from downed wires. Six people died in Pennsylvania alone. More than 3 million homes and businesses in the Northeast lost power at the height of the

storm. By midday Monday, that number was still above 2 million. Some of the same areas were hit hard by the rainy remnants of Hurricane Irene just two months ago, but in many places the utility damage was worse this time. The trees had yet to lose their leaves and captured all too much of the snow.

“The leaves on the trees have made whole trees and huge branches come down and taken down more wires,” said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. “It’s a huge challenge for everybody.” With the temperature rising again, the storm’s effects will probably outlast the snow itself. Christie said he expected 95 percent of the 375,000 customers in New Jersey without power to have it back by Thursday, though he knew that would be little comfort to people shivering in the dark. “I know if you are without power today, Thursday seems like a long time from now,” he said. Companies brought in crews from other states to help, but with lights out and live wires down all over the place, many communities urged children to skip trick-or-treating or at least postpone it until later in the week. “I was upset because I really wanted to go trick-and-treating and get candy,” said 12-year-old McKenzie Gallasso of South Windsor, Conn., who was deciding whether to be a witch or a werewolf when the phone rang with the bad news that town officials were advising families to call off trick-or-treating. “This year I’ll have to eat candy from my mom.”

World population hits 7 billion Palestine becomes a

member of UNESCO

U.N. marks milestone, but there are fears about how the planet will cope.

The U.S. and others fear the action could harm renewed Mideast peace efforts.

By JON GAMBRELL Associated Press

LAGOS, Nigeria — One South African mother, just 19, named her newborn “Enough” and shrugged off a nurse who questioned whether she was old enough to know how many children she wanted. In Nigeria, newborn twins have to share a bassinet in a crowded public hospital that doesn’t have enough electricity. “Where there is life, there is hope,” their mother said. But as the world’s population surpasses 7 billion, fears were stirred anew about how the planet will cope with the needs of so many humans. The United Nations marked the milestone Monday, even though it is impossible to pinpoint the arrival of the globe’s 7 billionth occupant because millions are born and die each day. At Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, the strain of caring for a burgeoning population was evident. The droning roar of a generator could be heard throughout one hot ward, where it powered ceiling fans and incubators. While Nigeria is oil-rich, it does not produce nearly enough power for its more than 160 million people.

Nurses hold newborn babies Monday in Sidon, Lebanon, Monday, when the world’s population was to have hit 7 billion.

Seun Dupe, a 32-year-old hairdresser who gave birth to the twins on Oct. 23, remained an optimist despite the staggering burden facing Africa’s most populous nation and other developing countries. Her babies spent Monday squirming beneath a bundled-up mosquito net. She has yet to decide on their names. Dupe was confident that new lives will ensure Nigeria’s future as “a great nation.” Nigeria’s megacity of Lagos is expected someday to surpass Cairo as the continent’s most populous. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the day was “not about one newborn or even one generation” but “about our en-

tire human family.” At a news conference in New York, he noted “a world of contradictions” — famine in the Horn of Africa, fighting in Syria and elsewhere and widespread protests against economic inequality. “Seven billion population is a challenge,” he said, and “at the same time, an opportunity, depending upon how the international community prepares for that challenge.” The U.N. estimates the world population will reach 8 billion by 2025 and 10 billion by 2083. But the numbers could vary widely, depending on life expectancy, access to birth control, infant mortality rates and other factors.

PARIS — Palestine became a full member of UNESCO on Monday in a highly divisive breakthrough that will cost the agency a fifth of its budget and that the U.S. and other opponents say could harm renewed Mideast peace efforts. Soon after the vote, the United States cut funding to the organization because of a U.S. law that bars funding an organization that has Palestine as a member before an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is reached. That decision will have an immediate effect: The United States won’t make a $60 million payment scheduled for November, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. UNESCO depends heavily on U.S. funding — Washington provides 22 percent of its budget or about $80 million a year — but has survived without it in the past: The United States pulled out of UNESCO under President Ronald Reagan, rejoining two decades later under President George W. Bush. Monday’s vote is a grand symbolic victory for the Palestinians, but it alone won’t make Palestine into a

state. The issues of borders for an eventual Palestinian state, security troubles and other disputes that have thwarted Middle East peace for decades remain unresolved. Huge cheers went up in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization after delegates approved the membership in a vote of 107-14 with 52 abstentions. Eightyone votes were The United needed for apStates won’t proval in a hall make a $60 with 173 UNESmillion payCO member delegations prement schedsent. In a suruled for Noprise, France vember. voted “yes” — and the room erupted in cheers and applause — while the “no” votes included the United States, Israel, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. “Long live Palestine!” someone shouted in the hall, in French, at the unusually tense and dramatic meeting of UNESCO’s General Conference. Even if the vote’s impact isn’t felt right away in the Mideast, it will be quickly felt at UNESCO, which protects historic heritage sites and works to improve world literacy, access to schooling for girls and cultural understanding, but it also has in the past been a forum for anti-Israel sentiment.

HARRISBURG — A panel charged with drawing new district lines for the state House and Senate divided along partisan lines Monday as a Republicanwritten proposal that shifted seats from west to east gained preliminary approval by a 3-2 vote. The Legislative Reapportionment Commission voted to move the seat of freshman Sen. Jim Brewster from Allegheny and Westmoreland counties to fastgrowing Monroe County in the Pocono Mountains. The plan also would add House seats in Allentown, Berks County, Chester County and York County, while cutting out existing districts in Erie and Philadelphia and two in Allegheny County. Democrats called the proposals highly partisan and said they hoped the details will change before a final plan is adopted. The floor leaders in the two chambers split, leaving the deciding vote to the fifth member of the commission, Stephen J. McEwen Jr., president judge emeritus of the state Superior Court. McEwen, a Republican, was appointed to the committee by the state Supreme Court, which currently has a 4-3 GOP majority.

Though construction, contractor and other jobs were likely created by the flooding, the unemployment rate decline would likely have been greater had the flood event not occurred, said Anthony Liuzzo, director of the master of business administration program at Wilkes University. Liuzzo said the flooding led to even more people in the area becoming financially strapped and that their lack of available spending power will likely lead to a more pessimistic view of the economy locally. Once again the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton region had the highest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania, registering the only rate at or above 9 percent. But the region bucked the overall state trend in September. The state’s unemployment rate increased one-tenth of a percentage point to 8.3 percent, while the nation’s rate remained unchanged at 9.1 percent.

OUR OPINION: TACKLING POVERTY

Please help feed people in need

OHN AND TINA Dowd could have kept their money, simply squirreled it away for retirement or, like so many other people apparently have decided, until Wall Street roars back and the fear finally disappears. Instead, they chose to give. Generously. The couple who own Sundance Vacations in Wilkes-Barre Township donated $50,000 worth of stock to the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen – a program in Wilkes-Barre providing free meals to the area’s needy for nearly three decades. The kitchen also operates a food bank, which before a call for contributions went out this summer was all but bare. Thank you, Dowds, for hearing that call and heeding the human impulse to help others. Yours is the single-largest donation ever made to the kitchen – and it couldn’t have come at a more meaningful time. Poverty rates in Luzerne County, like much of the nation, continue to inch up as persistent joblessness takes its toll on family incomes. In turn, more people from “working families” and other households find themselves in line at area food banks and so-called soup kitchens. Lately, St. Vincent de Paul, on Jackson Street near the city’s central business district, has been serving meals to between 400 and 500 people a day, including lots of children, according to the program’s organizers

at Catholic Social Services. This charitable undertaking relies largely on volunteer laborers and foodstuffs provided by area businesses, restaurants, growers and residents. For financially struggling families, the place allows them to fuel up while also stretching their dollars and dimes to pay for other necessities. That’s especially critical this November, as home-heating season kicks in across the Northeast and the costs of some staples, such as peanut butter, are predicted to rise. During a presentation last week, Tina Dowd said she and her husband hoped their public largesse toward the kitchen would make the program “more visible” and spur other people to chip in, too. In this endeavor, there is no such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen. Please support your community food bank.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I’ve never sexually harassed anyone.” Herman Cain The Republican presidential candidate said Monday he was “falsely accused” of sexual harassment while he led the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. An investigation into the complaints found them to be “baseless,” he said.

OTHER OPINION: TRANSPORTATION

Corbett stalling state road plan

IX MONTHS AGO, Gov. Tom Corbett put together a 40-member, well-qualified advisory group to study how to finance Pennsylvania’s transportation and transit needs. Three months ago, his Transportation Funding Advisory Commission presented a comprehensive plan that could raise $2.7 billion through a combination of measures – lifting a cap on a tax paid by fuel wholesalers and hiking the fees for driver licenses and auto registration. Since then, legislative leaders have been waiting to learn the governor’s reaction to the plan, because both Republicans and Democrats are eager to get moving and they want to adopt a measure that Mr. Corbett will sign. In part, they are motivated by political expediency – it will be much more difficult to pass any

increase in fees on motorists next year, when most members are running for re-election. But lawmakers also are motivated by the deteriorating state of Pennsylvania’s 5,000 structurally deficient bridges, 8,000 crumbling miles of highway and a severely diminished ability to provide efficient mass transit. That sure sounds like a crisis, yet the governor’s most recent statements suggest that he doesn’t understand why anybody would expect him to do something about it. The governor has said, “Sure there’s a problem. There’s been a problem there for 25 years. Where has everybody been for 25 years?” The better question is why isn’t Gov. Corbett eager to solve it now.

Writer urges support for Leighton re-election

ith the local elections only a week away, I felt it necessary to encourage my fellow residents of Wilkes-Barre to vote for the re-election of Mayor Thomas Leighton. Over the past seven-plus years, he has helped turn around the finances of our great city; the 2012 budget unveiled recently had no tax increases. This is no small feat, given the state of the economy and ever-increasing expenses. In addition, the leadership exhibited by Mayor Leighton and his team during the recent flood provided many of us with comfort in the face of a potential disaster. During the recent mayoral candidates’ forum hosted by Wilkes University, it was readily apparent to anyone in attendance that he is the only candidate capable of leading our city and making the hard decisions expected of a chief executive officer. It’s not about “picking names out of a hat” or “picking straws” to determine who gets hired, but using your judgment to make those decisions. Mayor Leighton has made those decisions, and darn good ones at that! We have the best-run police, fire and public works departments in the commonwealth. It’s also not about making empty promises of “lowering the wage tax” with no concrete answers as to how to make up the loss of $9 million in revenue. It’s about making our downtown stronger, our neigh-

borhoods safer and our city a model for other cities. It is for these reasons that I am voting for Mayor Leighton and encourage all the voters of the city to do the same. Theodore B. Wampole Jr. Wilkes-Barre

Urban says recent letter made false statements

am writing in response to a letter to the editor written by Edd Brominski (“Urban is criticized by council candidate,” Oct. 28), which contains many false statements. Mr. Brominski has campaigned for a seat on Luzerne County Council by writing negative letters to the editor. Throughout this campaign, Mr. Brominski seemingly has not offered one positive suggestion to improve county government. I will not be voting for Mr. Brominski on Nov. 8, and I ask all county voters to not vote for him. As a former county commissioner, Mr. Brominski served one four-year term, 28-years ago, before he was booted from office. During Mr. Brominski’s tenure no action was taken to raise the Wyoming Valley levees. Thanks to recent federal, state and county cooperation that took place during my tenure, 15 miles of levee in the Wyoming Valley were raised and now provide flood protection to more than 18,000 homes and businesses. Also, 25 homes were purchased and removed from the floodway, and those families are now living in safer locations. Tropical Storm Lee stressed the levee system; however, the levees performed extremely well thanks to many individuals who worked tirelessly during this disaster and helped to protect more than $5 billion worth of property. For the families impacted by the flooding, we will continue to work to help you recover from this disaster. Mr. Brominski’s comments regarding my remarks at a recent Downtown Residence Association meeting also are false. I urge Mr. Brominski to contact one of the reporters who was in attendance and obtain a recording of my remarks. Mr. Brominski, after you review my remarks, please apologize to the voters of Luzerne County for your reckless statements. Mr. Brominski, the minutes of the Lu-

DOONESBURY

zerne County Commissioners meetings are online at www.luzernecounty.org. A casual review of those meeting minutes would show that I did not vote to borrow or bond county funds in 2006, 2007 and 2008, nor did I vote to delay the reassessment, as you stated in your letter. Who taught and encouraged you to spread these falsehoods? During my tenure as county commissioner, I exposed corruption in Luzerne County. However, during Mr. Brominski’s employment with Luzerne County, he pled the Fifth and remained silent about the corruption that took place on his watch. Mr. Brominski also remained silent during the “kids-for-cash” fiasco. The two most vocal opponents of the $58 million detention center lease were then-Controller Steve Flood and myself. We strongly opposed the juvenile facility lease and we went to federal authorities and sought their help to clean up the corruption in Luzerne County. Mr. Brominski did nothing! Stephen A. Urban Commissioner, Luzerne County Wilkes-Barre

Reader believes Dems are best candidates

his question arose the other day: “Why are you a Democrat?” My response is always, “Because the Democratic Party is the party that stands up for the middle and working class, fights for education and health care, and advances Social Security and Medicare.” For these reasons, on Election Day, I vote straight Democrat. The six Democratic judicial candidates are the six most qualified people for the job of judge of Luzerne County’s Court of Common Pleas. Having gotten to know them all, I strongly believe that every day they will work to be fair and honest – yet tough when necessary. Jackie Musto Carroll, candidate for district attorney, has been stalwart at the helm at the DA’s Office. Musto Carroll successfully has prosecuted murderers, drug dealers and rapists, all while starting initiatives such as the Luzerne County Child Advocacy Center and Youth Aid Panel Program. I believe the Democratic slate of Luzerne County Council candidates is best suited for the position based on their ideals and their ability to work together to make Luzerne County a better place and to make our new system of home rule government a success. I encourage all voters on Nov. 8 to vote straight Democrat. Thomas M. Shubilla President Luzerne County Young Democrats and Member Democratic State Committee Plains Township

Debate performance Jasikoff said anyone who attended last week’s mayoral forum “clearly saw that Lisa Cope is incapable of making decisions required of a mayor.” He said Cope takes direction from Sorick. “If you cannot make decisions without getting answers from Frank Sorick, how can you be an effective independent-thinking mayor?” Jasikoff asked. “Do we go from a secretive, corrupt, entitled administration to one that is filtered by Frank Sorick?” Leighton has a decided edge in voter registration numbers and his campaign war chest dwarfs Cope’s and Summers’. The election is Nov. 8, and there isn’t time for names to be removed from the ballot. Cope said Summers called her

Griffith said he contacted Joyce Associates late last week to obtain information, and the company did not return his message until late Monday afternoon. He said a company official informed him that two other companies affiliated with Joyce Associates – Joyce Jackman & Bell LLC and Joyce Haggerty Bell Insurance Group LLC – carry an additional $8 million in errors-and-omissions insurance that could be tapped by the county. Griffith said the county did not hire these other companies to provide insurance, and the additional policies and companies were not specified in documentation supplied to the county when the company received insurance awards.

on Friday and the two had a discussion. “Nobody is stepping aside,” Cope said. “There are three names on the ballot and it will stay that way. It is what it is.” Cope said the issue of either candidate stepping aside and supporting the other never really came up. “But it was kind of implied,” Cope said. “I think they are trying to intimidate me, but I won’t be intimidated.” David Sosar, political science professor at King’s College, said as the election nears both challengers are getting worried about splitting the vote. “They both know and understand that they are taking votes from each other and giving Mayor Leighton an easier path to victory,” Sosar said. “It’s funny that each through campaign managers or other third parties has called for the other to drop out to help the remaining candidate. They had to know this would happen from the very beginning.” Sosar said all candidates won-

der how their campaign is progressing and what could be done to garner more votes. “We’ve all seen this a lot of times in the past and I’m sure we’ll see it again in the future,” he said.

Maryanne Petrilla had contacted him to investigate. Petrilla said the documents obtained by Griffith are “raising some questions.” Commissioners will likely take action if Joseph J. Joyce Associates did not carry the required coverage, she said. “I’d like to think there’s a logical explanation for this. I’m anxious to hear from the insurance company as to what may have happened,” Petrilla said. County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said he and the administration have discussed the matter, and he is also reviewing documents involving Joyce Associates’ insurance coverage from prior years. The administration will take the appropriate action, DeLuca said. “Before we’ll take any action, we’ll make sure we have a full picture of what happened. We’ll lay out options to the administration and decide together how to proceed,” DeLuca said. Griffith said the county wanted the $5 million as protection

in case it has to go after the broker for problems with any claims or with the handling of insurance. “If one company is carrying less insurance, it gives them the ability to bid lower than somebody else who is following the rules, cutting other companies out of the process,” Griffith said. “It makes it unfair for people who follow the rules.” Joseph J. Joyce Associates was hired by the county last December to provide most of the county’s insurance, including property and numerous categories of liability coverage. The agent’s fee was $40,000 on one package of insurance totaling $430,000. Another group of coverage totaling $274,070 provided an agent’s fee of $22,000. The fee was not specified for another insurance package totaling $399,465. Various Joyce companies have supplied insurance to the county for at least 13 years, according to Times Leader archives.

Fragmented opposition Thomas Baldino, a Wilkes University political science professor, said Jasikoff’s logic is compelling. “The only way that either of (Leighton’s) opponents has any chance of winning is if they join forces and one of them resigns from the race while simultaneously throwing her support to the other,” Baldino said. “Two opponents fragment the vote of those who are unhappy with Leighton’s performance as mayor. With only one opponent to coalesce behind, there is somewhat of a better chance to defeat the incumbent mayor. It does not, however, guarantee Leighton’s defeat; rather, it improves the chances of his opponent,” he said.

Chiefs lose lead late, win in overtime

Dramatic victory over San Diego moves Kansas City into tie for first place in AFC West. By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ryan Succop kicked a 30-yard field goal in overtime, giving the Kansas City a stunning 23-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night and moving the Chiefs into an improbable tie atop the AFC West. The Chargers, who CHIEFS had trailed the whole game, were on the verge of winning it in regulation when they CHARGERS marched to the Kansas City 15. With firstand-10 and 48 seconds left on the clock, Philip Rivers fumbled the snap and the Chiefs’ Andy Studebaker clawed under the pile and pulled the ball out. Kansas City moved down the field for its own chance to win the game, but Matt Cassel badly overthrew his intended receiver and Eric Weddle’s second interception sent the game to overtime. The victory vaults the Chiefs into a three-way tie for first place in the AFC West with the Chargers and the Raiders.

McCoy making Eagles change their ways

ust watching his star running back whip and whirl his way downfield is making Andy Reid’s head spin. Could the football philosophy of the Philadelphia Eagles head coach be turning all the way around, too? “I really haven’t changed,” Reid insisted. “Whatever works, you’re going to do.” But what LeSean McCoy is doing right now is giving the Eagles a whole new look. The third-year running back turned and twisted his way to a career-high 185-yards rushing Sunday night, and McCoy did that against a Dallas rushing defense that was ranked as the NFL’s best. Did someone say you can’t run on the Cowboys? McCoy ran roughshod over, around, under and through them. Dallas came into Lincoln Financial Field surrendering an average of just 69.7 yards rushing to opposing teams. McCoy managed more than that total after his first six carries. And that was before he scored two touchdowns in Philadelphia’s 34-7 victory. “Really man, right now I’m hot,” McCoy said, downplaying his personal success by insisting the Eagles have an array of other weapons for defenses to worry about. “Two weeks from now, DeSean (Jackson) will be hot. You never know.” But Eagles fans know this: their team has a completely different look now. For too many years, they’ve watched Reid try to jam his passhappy offense down everyone’s throats so much, sometimes it made the Eagles choke. Not lately. McCoy, the third-year dynamo out of the University of Pittsburgh, got to carry the ball 28 times against the Washington Redskins last week. He got 30 carries against the Cowboys this week. The increased workload is working. The Eagles won both games. And suddenly, that nightmare of a 1-4 start for Philadelphia has transformed into a two-game winning streak as the Eagles are beginning to look like that dream team they were projected to be in the preseason. And thanks to an unpredictable shift in offensive philosophy, they are running right back into the NFC East race. But McCoy never asked for that. “I just want to go out and prove myself,” he shrugged. “I would think it would be selfish for a player in this offense to ask for the ball so many times.” He pointed to his fellow teammates with big-play ability, guys like Jackson and quarterback Michael Vick and tight end Brent Celek and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. But they don’t have the ability to burst through the line, stop on a dime, shift the opposite way, then juke two defensive backs out of their shoes on a 22-yard run, the way McCoy in the third quarter against the Cowboys. “There are not a lot of guys who can stop and then go sideways,” Reid said. “He’ll stop, put it down, then boom!” McCoy, who already has 754 yards rushing less than halfway through the season, isn’t just changing direction on his runs. The smooth running back they call “Shady” is altering the course of victory for the Eagles. “He’s the one doing all the jumping around in the locker room afterwards,” Reid said. “He’s riding a bike with a minute-30 left on the clock. “He’s got a lot of energy.” And finally, the Eagles have a lot to look forward to by finally putting their fate in a running back’s hands.

Shamrocks, defenseman Lade agree to contract

Cleveland acquires Lowe; Sabathia stays with Yanks By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

The Times Leader staff

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Shamrocks announced today that they have signed on John Lade of Syracuse for the 2012 season. Lade was named the nation’s most outstanding defensemen as a senior at Syracuse. He was named a first team All-American the past two seasons. Lade transferred to Syracuse from Villanova after his freshman year. He started all 45 games from 2009-11. He was the Shamrocks final pick in the college entry draft. Women’s volleyball Misericordia 3, Rosemont 0

The Misericordia University women’s volleyball season ended with a 3-0 sweep at Rosemont 25-9, 25-9, 25-18. Cailin McCullion, Krystal Burford and Kat LaBri each had nine kills while Molly Harleman and Nicole Korgeski had eight and seven, respectively. Kristin Hoffman had 38 assists and Harleman added four aces. The Cougars won their final five matches to finish 13-12. Men’s soccer Eastern 4, Wilkes 0

Visiting Eastern University scored three goals in the opening stanza and added one more insurance goal in the second to grab the final playoff spot in this week’s Freedom Conference tournament with a 4-0 win over host Wilkes on Monday afternoon at Schmidt Stadium. With the loss, Wilkes ends its season at 6-11 overall and 2-5 in Freedom play.

start Monday, looking sluggish in a 25-17 loss to the Black Knights in game one. Lake-Lehman was in command from the outset, taking 20-10 lead on two consecutive kills and an ace by Laura Casterline. However, the Comets turned the tables by cruising to easy victories in games two and three. Klug played a key role in the game two win. She posted two impressive blocks, including one that gave Crestwood a 2-12 lead. The Comets widened their lead to 2413 on an ace by Klug, and put the game out of reach at 24-14 on a Klug spike.

career. “I think this just feels like it’s time to end it,” he said Monday. “When I look in the mirror, I know I’d come back for the wrong reasons, and I didn’t want to do that.” La Russa said he told general manager John Mozeliak of his decision in August — before the Cards rallied from a 101⁄2-game deficit in the NL wild-card race to upset Philadelphia and Milwaukee in the playoffs. They won the thrilling sevengame Series after twice coming within a strike of elimination in Game 6. The player meeting was short and emotional. “Some grown men cried,” La Russa said, joking that, “I kind of liked that because they made me cry a few times. La Russa won the World Series with Oakland in 1989, and St. Louis in 2006 and this year,

D2 crowns champions tonight The Times Leader staff

After a wild doubleheader in the Class 2A brackets, District 2 completes its field hockey tournament tonight with two games. Crestwood (18-2-0) faces Wyoming Seminary (13-5-2) in the Class 2A championship game at 7 p.m. at Wyoming Valley West’s Spartan Stadium. In the Class 3A final, Wyoming Valley West (16-3-0) will play Coughlin (11-5-1) at Crestwood at 7 p.m. The Spartans and Crusaders have had a few days off since earning berths in the Class 3A championship. Wyoming Valley West enters the match on a six-game winning streak. The Spartans have scored 89 goals and allowed just 12 – half of which came in their three losses. They defeated Coughlin 2-0 on Oct. 6 behind a goal and an assist by Maura Anistranski and a four-save shutout by Kait Smicherko. Coughlin came out of a three-game tailspin to win four of its last five. In the Class 2A final, Crestwood and Wyoming Seminary are coming off dramatic wins Sunday. The Blue Knights won on

son, had a breakout performance in game three with her pinpoint serving. She notched eight consecutive service points, including three aces, to give the Comets a 24-5 lead. “I just focused very hard and tried to concentrate of hitting the ball to the right spots,” Jankowski said. “I tried to serve in the area of the weakest passers.” According to junior setter Carina Mazzoni, Jankowski’s serving helped raised the confidence level of her teammates. “I think the run that she went on in game three was the turning point of the match,” Mazzoni said. “In game one, we weren’t focused and were out of rhythm. We really weren’t talking, but we put things together after that.” Lake-Lehman led in the early going of game four, but Crestwood drew even at 18. There were two lead changes, but the Comets

sealed the deal 26-24 on a rocket slam by Klug. Klug paced Crestwood with 13 kills, six service points and three blocks. Mazzoni had seven kills, six service points and 25 assists, and Jankowski notched 13 service points, five aces and six digs. Katie Nork pitched in with 20 service points, six aces and five digs. Casterline led the Black Knights (11-3) with nine kills, 14 service points, six aces and nine digs. Tiffany Oplinger notched nine kills, 12 digs and two blocks. “We just didn’t play up to our capability after game one,” Casterline said. “When it came down to the last point (of the match), they were up to it and we weren’t.” Holy Redeemer made quick work of Berwick (5-11), thanks to a strong performance by Allie Griswold, who paced the Royals with 16 kills and six service points.

joining Sparky Anderson as the only manager to win with clubs in both leagues. During 33 seasons with the Chicago White Sox (1979-86), Oakland (1986-95) and St. Louis (1996-11), La Russa compiled a 2,728-2,365 regular-season record. He trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763) for wins. And his 70 postseason victories are behind only Joe Torre’s 84. A rare manager with a law degree, La Russa was voted AL Manager of the Year three times, and NL Manager of the Year in 2002. He will be up for consideration for the Hall of Fame in December 2013, at the same time as Torre and Bobby Cox. “I think you can make a case for him as best of all-time. Absolutely,” said Detroit manager Jim Leyland, who coached for La Russa with the White Sox after managing against him in the minors. Leyland said La Russa was the “total package” as a manager, obsessing over the lineup card,

outfoxing opponents during games and refusing to bend to public opinion. “Terry Francona used to say ’If you manage for the guys in the seats, pretty soon you’ll be sitting with ’em.’ Tony never worried about that stuff,” Leyland said. “It’s a good lesson for managers.” La Russa revolutionized the sport during his time with Oakland, making Dennis Eckersley a one-inning closer. Now, it’s common for all 30 big league teams. “He’s been an outstanding leader of many different teams under many different circumstances, and that’s hard to do,” said New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, La Russa’s GM with the Athletics. La Russa had unusual strategies: He started a game with the pitcher batting eighth 432 times. He was renowned for his use of batter-pitcher matchups in determining which reliever to bring in, but also ridiculed “Moneyball” and its emphasis on statistics over human scouting and observation.

Wignot had seven kills and 10 kills, respectively. Becky Bodwalk tallied five service points and seven assists for the Bulldogs, while Margaret Bridge had three kills and five service points. “We didn’t play that well,” Redeemer coach Jack Kablick said. “I think we may have been looking ahead.” CLASS 3A SEMIFINALS

NEW YORK — Three days before the opening of the free-agent market, the Cleveland Indians acquired pitcher Derek Lowe from the Atlanta Braves for minor league left-hander Chris Jones on Monday in the first significant trade of the offseason. Rather than become a free agent, CC Sabathia agreed to a new deal with the New York Yankees that adds an additional season and $30 million in guaranteed money, bringing the lefthander’s total over the next five years to $122 million. Several teams exercised contract options on pitchers, among them Tampa Bay on James Shields ($7.5 million), Texas on Colby Lewis ($4 million), Kansas City on Joakim Soria ($6 million) and the Chicago White Sox on Jason Frasor ($3.75 million). Cincinnati exercised a $12 million option on second baseman Brandon Phillips, and the Colorado Rockies elected to keep former AL MVP Jason Giambi ($1 million). The World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals exercised a $7 million option on catcher Yadier Molina and declined options on right-hander Octavio Dotel ($3.5 million), shortstop Rafael Furcal ($12 million) and outfielder Co-

We play team ball one way and team ball the other way and it’s worked for us so far.” Then on offense, the Eagles spread the field wide all the way to break up the Blue Knight defense, which was trying to contain the middle of the field. Colby Thomas gave MV a 1-0 lead at the 25:19 mark of the first half. About three minutes later, he struck again off a pass from Zeb Cross for a 2-0 lead with 22:09 left before halftime. That’s all the Eagles needed. Cross added a tally later in the first half then Izzy Cross finished three digs) and Elisa Cadman (four kills, four points) lead the effort for Abington Heights. Delaware Valley moves on to face North Pocono in the district championship.

rey Patterson ($1.1 million). Cleveland will have to pay Lowe $5 million of his $15 million salary next year, with the Braves responsible for the rest. The 38year-old was 9-17 with a 5.05 ERA in 34 starts last season, leading the NL in losses. He’ll join Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Masterson, Josh Tomlin and Fausto Carmona in the starting rotation. “He’s a quality pitcher with durability, pitching 180 innings or more every year since 2002,” Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said. “The last time he was on the disabled list was 1995. In addition to his durability, there’s some leadership potential. His experience will complement a very young rotation.” Cleveland also exercised Carmona’s $7 million option and declined an $8.5 million option on outfielder Grady Sizemore, who gets a $500,000 buyout. Sabathia had until midnight Monday to opt out of the $161 million, seven-year contract he agreed to before the 2009 season, a deal that calls for $23 million annual salaries in the next four seasons. The new deal adds a $25 million salary for 2016 and gives the Yankees a $25 million option for 2017 with a $5 million buyout. Sabathia has gone 59-23 with a 3.18 ERA during the regular season for New York. out the scoring with just 11:18 remaining in the match. The Blue Knights, who end their season with a 9-7-2 mark, allowed 15 shots on goal to Mountain View and three corner kicks. Seminary keeper Frank Henry made eight saves, the majority of them leaping or sprawled out on the ground. They reached the district semifinals for the second straight year after early exits the previous two years. But not many starters are graduating this year so the Blue Knights will be ready for another run in 2012.

Mansfield’s Edwards earns trip to D-II Regionals Brenae Edwards is heading to the NCAA Division II Regionals on a confident note. Edwards (Hazleton Area) is a grad student at Mansfield who came up with a big effort in the recent PSAC Women’s Cross Country Championships at Lock Haven. Edwards finished third out of 152 runners in a time of 20:45.8. It was her best effort ever in the 6K and the second best in Mansfield history. “Brenae and I were very pleased with her effort,” coach Michael Rohl said. “It’s the first time she has been under 21 minutes.” Edwards, a medical redshirt last season, finished sixth in the PSAC in 2009 and went on to finish sixth in the NCAA Atlantic Regionals with a thenpersonal best of 21:04. “Now we are just focused on replicating the PSAC performance at the regionals,” Rohl said. “It’s a race she has a good track record for.” The Atlantic Regional is set for Saturday in Slippery Rock. The NCAA Division II Championships are Nov. 20 in Spokane, Wash. SNOW NO PROBLEM FOR ORTH – Bucknell senior Drew Orth had to do his placekicking in the snow and cold last Saturday, but he kicked two field goals and three of four extra points as the Bison defeated Lafayette 39-13 for the first triumph over the Leopards since 2001. Orth (Hazleton Area) leads Bucknell in scoring with 43 points, on 10 of 11 field goals and 13 of 14 extra points. His field goals against Lafayette were from 28 and 20 yards. “I feel that Drew has done a great job overcoming adversity and has become a very important member of our team,” coach Joe Susan said. “He has had to deal with injuries and a change in the depth chart which would have had players of lesser character step back

ON CAMPUS BILL ARSENAULT and accept the role of a back up. Instead, he worked his way through both issues and took advantage of an opportunity and never looked back.” During his four-year career, Orth has kicked 19 field goals and converted 46 extra points. “Drew has always been very quick in terms of snap to kick,” Susan said. “He elevates the ball which is another important factor. His accuracy is what has improved the most. As someone who does not know too much about the fundamentals of kicking, I do know when they kick them through the uprights it’s a good thing.” RUGBY HAS TO WAIT – The unbeaten West Chester rugby team was scheduled to face national power Penn State this weekend but the weather put a damper on the matchup and no date has been set for the contest. That means that senior Jess Narvid (Wyoming Valley West) and junior Ariel Johnson (Coughlin) will have to wait to face the Nittany Lions. Narvid and Johnson are key members on the 4-0 Golden Rams squad. Narvid is in her fourth season playing with the squad. She has a try this season (five points).

Mets bringing in the walls at Citi Field By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — While not exactly tearing down this wall, the New York Mets are putting up a new fence at Citi Field that’s shorter and closer to home plate. In an effort to boost scoring at the pitcher-friendly ballpark, the Mets announced Monday they are cutting the field dimensions by as much as 12 feet next season, lowering the fence height to 8 feet all around and changing the fence color to blue with an orange line at the top. “We’re targeting to try to fit in, to be more normal or more on average with everybody,” Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said. At their first offseason comments, the Mets said it was too soon to tell whether they would

be competitive to re-sign free agent Jose Reyes. General manager Sandy Alderson said he expected David Wright will remain with the Mets next season. The new fence will be erected in front of the ballpark’s daunting 16-foot black fence, which became known as “The Great Wall of Flushing.” “You just keep looking at that thing, and that left-field wall kept getting higher and higher,” Alderson said. According to STATS LLC, Citi Field was last in the major leagues in home runs during its first three seasons with an average of 1.43 per game. The ballpark’s 3.78 ERA was the sixthlowest in the major leagues. Right-center field is being brought in from 415 feet to 398, although the new sign doesn’t

match up with the same angle as the old one. Left field comes in from 371 to 358 — with about 100 seats being added behind the new fence in left. The “Mo’s Zone” fence in right field is being pulled in. About 40 additional seats will be in that area. Alderson, hired a year ago, revised the dimensions recommended by his predecessor, Omar Minaya. “We didn’t want to completely alter the ballpark and make it into the proverbial bandbox,” Alderson said. “So that required looking at various dimensions and coming up with something based on home-run rates and park factors and so forth that was more or less neutral as between pitching and hitting, somewhere in the middle of all the ballparks.”

CHAPTER FIVE A Dangerous Plan

“

But what can we do?” Abby asked. How could they keep the British sailors from coming ashore? Just the two of them, alone? The British had put two small boats into the water. The sailors in them were starting to row. Abby counted fast. “There are twenty sailors in the first boat!” she said, “and as many in the next one. And they have guns! How can we stop them?” “We must make them afraid to come ashore,” said Becky. She turned to Abby. “Think quickly! What would they be most afraid of?” Surely not of us! Abby thought, but she did not say it. “They would be afraid of an army!” she said, instead. “They would be afraid if they thought that hundreds of American soldiers were in the woods, waiting to fight with them.” “But there is no army,” Becky said. “If the British knew that we are here alone— She looked at Abby. “We must make them think that we are an army!” Abby said. “How can we do that?” asked Becky. Abby tried to think quickly. She looked around the lamp room and saw Father’s fife lying on the table. I can play Father’s fife!” she said. “He has been showing me some notes. I can play part of ‘Yankee Doodle.’ Listen!” She blew into the fife. A few squeaky notes came out. “Wait!” Abby tried again. This time, it sounded right. Yankee Doodle went to town! “If I played it over and over,” she said, “the British might think an army was

marching to meet them! “A real army would have a drummer,” Becky said quickly, “and we have no drum.” “A cooking pot could be a drum!” she said. “And spoons could be the drumsticks! We can take them from the kitchen.” “It is a good plan, Abby” Becky said. “But it is dangerous. We will have to go outside for the sailors to hear us—and we must not let them see us!” “We can go into the woods!” said Abby. “They would not see us there.” As soon as she said it, she was afraid. Out in the woods, with the sailors so close!

“But do you think we should go out?” she asked. “Father said—” “I think Father would want us to try,” Becky said. She patted Abby’s arm. “Come!” she said. She started down the stairs, almost running. Holding on to the ﬁfe, Abby came down the stairs as fast as her sister. When they reached the bottom, Becky opened the door to the kitchen. She went inside and came back holding a black cooking pot and two wooden spoons. “I hope I can play well,” she said with a smile. “I have never had a lesson on how to play a pot!”

STORY SO FAR: Becky and Abby, alone at the lighthouse, must ﬁnd a way to keep the British sailors from coming ashore.

Abby laughed. She was very tired from running over rocks and up and down stairs, and she was afraid of the sailors and their guns, and she did not know if she and Becky could sound at all like an army, and she wanted Father to come home. But it felt good to laugh with Becky. Together, they unbolted the lighthouse door, opened it slowly and looked out. From here, they could not see the ocean—only the rocks and the woods. If they ran straight across the rocks and into the woods, no sailors could see them. For just a minute, Abby wished they could stay inside the lighthouse, with the door bolted, as Father had told them to. But no one in Scituate would be safe unless the British went away. And only she and Becky could make them go. Becky said, “Now!” and started to run with the pot in her arms. Abby ran after her, holding the ﬁfe. When they reached the woods, they leaned against a tree to catch their breath. It seemed almost safe in here, under the trees, with leafy branches all around them. But when Abby looked out through the leaves, she saw a boat. The sailors had rowed very close to the shore. Becky held up her wooden spoons. “Ready?” she asked. Abby did not feel ready. She did not want to make a sound! But she put the ﬁfe to her mouth and took a breath. Becky hit the pot, hard, with the spoons. “Now!” she said to Abby. “Play!”

Callahan leads NYR to first home win The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Ryan Callahan scored twice in New York’s three-goal second period, and New York shook of a blown lead and raced past the surging San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Monday night. The Rangers (4-3-3) led 2-0 in the first period but squandered it to the Sharks, who were trying to complete a sweep of a six-game road trip. Artem Anisimov also scored in the second after Ryan McDonagh and Derek Stepan had goals in the first. Martin Biron made 24 saves to improve to 2-0 as Henrik Lundqvist’s backup. Callahan added an assist, and Dan Girardi, Erik Christensen and Brandon Dubinsky all had two assists. All that, and fan favorite Sean Avery could be back in the lineup Thursday if he clears waivers Tuesday. Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture had goals for the Sharks (6-4), and Antti Niemi stopped 26 shots. Callahan put New York ahead 3-2, just as a Rangers power play ended, and capped the second-period spurt by pushing the lead to three goals when he scored again with 47.7 seconds left. Callahan, in his first season as Rangers captain, also had the primary assist on McDonagh’s opening goal. Stepan made it 2-0 later in the first, but just like in Saturday’s 5-4 shootout loss to Ottawa, New York couldn’t hold it. Pavelski started the Sharks’ comeback when he cut the deficit to 2-1 with 2:10 left in the first, and San Jose used a dominant shift in the second to get even when Couture took advantage of exhausted defensemen. Just as Madison Square Garden was about to turn on the home team, the Rangers regained the lead and built on it uncharacteristically. The Rangers were 0-1-1 at home, and the pain of Sat-

urday’s loss in which New York blew a 4-1 lead in the third period was still fresh for the frustrated fans. Callahan took a crisp pass from Christensen and slammed a shot in from the left post with 6 minutes left in the second — just as Colin White’s delay-of-game penalty ended. That was the beginning of the gameturning surge that brightened the costume-clad Halloween crowd yearning to see the Rangers win at home. Christensen struck again moments later when he nudged the puck ahead to Anisimov, who bounced back from being shaken up on Saturday and scored his first of the season with a nifty backhanded shot that seemed to fool Niemi at 16:42. Callahan finished things with 47.7 seconds left after he started the scoring play with a forced turnover back in the New York end. Callahan raced up ice, got the puck to Brad Richards and continued skating behind the net. Richards fired a shot as teammate Brandon Dubinsky was dumped in front. The rebound bounced free, and no one picked up Callahan as he came out from behind the net and swept a shot inside the left post to make it 5-2. Jets 4, Panthers 3 SUNRISE, Fla. —Andrew Ladd and Kyle Wellwood each scored goals in a shootout and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Florida Panthers. Evander Kane scored two goals and Wellwood also scored in regulation for Winnipeg. Ondrej Pavelec had a season-high 40 saves for the Panthers. Tomas Fleischmann scored two goals in the third period for the Panthers and Jason Garrison also scored for Florida, while Jose Theodore made 28 saves. Each team scored a goal in the game’s final minutes of regulation.

AUTO RACING

Plane carrying NASCAR owner crash lands KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — A small jet carrying the owner of NASCAR’s top team and his wife lost its brakes and crash landed at a Key West, Fla., airport Monday evening, and the couple suffered minor injuries, officials said. The Gulfstream 150 aircraft ran off the runway at the Key West International Airport Monday at 7:45 p.m. Rick and Linda Hendrick, a pilot and co-pilot were all taken to Lower Keys Medical Centers. The Hendricks had minor injuries and the pilot and co-pilot were taken in as a precaution, said county airport director Peter Horton. The plane is registered to Jimmie Johnson Racing II Incorporated in Charlotte, N.C. Johnson is a five-time

defending NASCAR champion and drives for Hendrick Motorsports, which Rick Hendrick owns. Besides Johnson, Hendrick also fields cars for fourtime champion Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Mark Martin. The team recently celebrated its 199th career victory in the Sprint Cup Series. “It was a real big scare. Very frightening to hear,” Earnhardt told reporters in Las Vegas, where he was attending the annual SEMA show, which showcases automotive specialty-equipment. “I’m very glad that he and everybody appears to be OK.” In 2004, a plane Hendrick owned crashed en route to a race in Martinsville, Va., killing all 10 onboard.

STATE COLLEGE — Much has happened at Penn State since March, when the Nittany Lions won the school’s first NCAA wrestling championship since 1953. For starters, how about the good? Coach Cael Sanderson, an Olympic gold medalist, stepped back onto the mat after a sevenyear hiatus. The coach won regional and U.S. titles and finished fifth at the world championships. And now, the bad. Three of Sanderson’s wrestlers made news off the mats after brushes with the law. But Sanderson said Monday at the team’s media day that he and the Nittany Lions are only looking ahead. And that means defending their national championship after being ranked the No. 1 team in the country in preseason polls. “We had a couple off-the-mat incidents but, luckily, time keeps moving,” he said. “We’re moving

forward. We’re about to start this next season (that we’re) we’re fired up about.” On July 4, Bryan Pearsall was charged with two counts of selling or furnishing liquor or malt brewed beverages to three underaged teammates. On Aug. 6, Ed Ruth, who finished third at 174 pounds at the NCAA tournament, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of assaulting a police officer and one misdemeanor count of simple assault when he tried to gain admittance into a bar after hours in Washington, D.C. And, on Aug. 12, Andrew Long, who placed third at 133 pounds at the NCAA tournament, was charged with attempted rape, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault of the 55-year-old mother of a Penn State student. A week later, Long left the team and decided not to enroll in classes for fall semester.

Indeed, it was not the summer the Nittany Lions were expecting and it took the luster off Sanderson’s journey. A four-time NCAA champion, he won a regional freestyle title in March. And then, in June, he won the USA Freestyle World Team Trial 84-kilogram title. Finally, in September, he placed fifth at the world championships. And he’s been able to build off the success. Penn State, in fact, is ranked No. 1 in a preseason InterMat poll. And Sanderson added two of the nation’s top recruits, as well. Morgan McIntosh from Santa Ana, Calif., was rated No. 1 overall. And Nico Megaludis, from Murrysville, Pa., was the No. 5 rated overall recruit. “They’re very talented kids with a tough mentality and a belief in themselves that is rare this early in their career. I have a lot of confidence in both of those guys,” Sand-

erson said. “There’s a good chance we’ll see them in the lineup.” McIntosh is projected at 197 pounds, Megaludis at 125. They will be welcomed additions to a roster that will include four returning All-Americans and two other NCAA qualifiers. Junior two-time All-American Quentin Wright won the NCAA title at 184 pounds. Senior threetime All-American, and 149-pounder, Frank Molinaro and sophomore David Taylor, at 165, were both NCAA runner-ups a year ago. Taylor moves up a weight class. Ruth placed third at 174. In addition, heavyweight Cameron Wade fell one win short of AllAmerica status. Sophomore Andrew Alton, who also finished one win short of AllAmerica status at 141, will redshirt, Sanderson said. Pearsall and freshman Sam Sherlock are battling for Alton’s spot. 953 Houses for Rent

Entertainment spending up Spending on home entertainment totaled $3.9 billion in the third quarter, up 5 percent from a year earlier, marking the first increase since the recession took hold in 2008. Purchases of recorded movies fell to $1.7 billion in the latest period, down 4 percent from the third quarter of 2010, a new report from Digital Entertainment Group shows. Sales of Blu-ray discs, an increasingly popular format, were up 58 percent, but that wasn’t enough to offset a decline in DVD sales. The video rental market also was soft, staying relatively flat at $1.8 billion. Spending on online rentals and purchases jumped 56 percent to $811 million as subscription streaming services such as those offered by Netflix and Amazon.com gained popularity.

WASHINGTON — JetBlue Airways and American Airlines could face huge U.S. fines after their passengers sat for hours in jets stranded on a snow-covered tarmac at Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Conn., this weekend. The U.S. Transportation Department is investigating the JetBlue reports and “several other possible delays,” but couldn’t comment immediately on American Airlines. Under rules in place since April, 2010, most tarmac delays at U.S. airports are limited to three hours for domestic flights and four hours for international flights, the agency said. Exceptions are allowed only for safety and security, or if air-traffic control advises pilots that returning to the terminal would disrupt airport operations. If the airlines are charged with breaking the tarmac-delay rule, they face fines of $27,000 for each stranded passenger. Heavy snow on Saturday disrupted thousands of flights over the weekend and led to 1,261 cancellations, according to FlightAware.com, which monitors air traffic. The severe weather also may have caused malfunctions in equipment used to land planes during periods of low visibility at New York City’s JFK

Honda cuts production Parts shortages from three months of catastrophic flooding in Thailand have forced Honda to cut U.S. and Canadian factory production by 50 percent for the second time this year, the automaker said Monday. The cuts, which come as Honda was recovering from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, will run at least through Nov. 10.

That number included six JetBlue flights carrying about 700 passengers and one American Airlines international flight that potentially carried nearly 200 people. After landing, the planes reportedly sat on the tarmac for up to seven hours as snow piled up and the airport struggled with intermittent power outages, according to JetBlue.

Bradley International said it did everything it could to accommodate the additional 1,000 to 1,500 fliers, but its resources were “stretched to the limit.” Normally, the airport sees about 17,000 people a day along with 300 commercial, freight and general-aviation flights, according to Bradley International Airport spokesperson John Wallace. American Airlines said its diverted flight from Paris waited on the tarmac for seven hours before U.S. Customs officers arrived and allowed the passengers to depart.

Securities firm MF Global Holdings Ltd. filed for bankruptcy protection Monday after the company posted a big quarterly loss and was downgraded by credit rating agencies. Investors were concerned about its holdings of European sovereign debt. It appears to be the first big U.S. casualty of the European debt crisis. MF Global is the eight-largest U.S. corporate bankruptcy, based on the $41.05 billion in assets and liabilities of $39.68 billion listed in its court filings.

At first, expect thinner, more sturdy, impact resistant devices. Instead of shattering when struck, the display can simply distort a bit and survive. A bit later, paper-thin, rollable or bendable displays might become the norm. Televisions and computer monitors will eventually inherit the technology and it could potentially revolutionize the tablet PC and e-reader markets. Imagine an iPad that’s as thin as a sheet of paper, or a Kindle that allows you to simply fold a page corner when you want to create a bookmark. Classrooms could be equipped with monitors that rolled away like a projector screen when not in use. Bendable, flexible, or twistable displays have huge potential. But they might also be hugely expensive, and there’s no word yet on any specific products or an exact release date as yet. As always, time will tell. 10-YR T-NOTE 2.12%

WILKES-BARRE – Key executives and directors of Penn Millers Holding Co. stand to gain a windfall if the sale of the city insurance company to a subsidiary of ACE American Insurance Co. goes through as planned. According to a notice and proxy statement sent to Penn Millers shareholders, 16 officers and directors will receiveacceleratedvestingof previously granted stock opGaudet tions with a total value of $443,226. In addition, seven officers will be paid a combined $2.2 million for 105,838 restricted shares granted through the company’s incentive plans. The merger plan also grants additional compensation to the company’s top officers in the event of their termination as a result of a change in control at the company. Under this “golden parachute” award, President and CEO Douglas A. Gaudet would receive a total of just over $2.9 million. The value of the payout to Michael O. Banks, executive vice president, would total nearly $1.6 million; Senior Vice President Harold W. Roberts would receive just over $1.2 million. Other officers would receive between $370,000 and $1.1 million, depending on the terms of their employment contracts. All told, eight officers would share $8.1million in payments. Gaudet, Banks and Roberts also would receive health insurance for two years. Other officers would receive smaller payouts and health care for one or two years. Penn Millers became a publicly traded company two years ago, with an initial offering of up to 6 million shares at $10 per share. Banks said the offering was oversubscribed, but the company sold only enough shares to raise the capital needed to support its growth strategies. The sale to ACE is valued at approximately $107 million. ACE has said it will keep operations in Wilkes-Barre. “A lot of this company is going to remain here,” Banks said. At the end of 2010 Penn Millers reported 114 employees, all but 20 of them at its headquarters on North Franklin Street. He said it has not been decided whether any of the officers would continue with the new company. Shareholder voting on the proposed merger will close at a meeting on Nov. 29. Shareholders of record as of Oct. 14 can vote.

Now that November has arrived, I feel even more fortunate to be able to predict sunshine. Indeed, our percentage of available sunshine this month decreases dramatically due to stronger contrasts in temperatures and faster jet stream winds aloft. But for sure there can be times when for a few days the atmosphere remains settled, sponsoring above average amounts of sunshine and dry weather. Such is the case this week, with no stormy weather in sight and little in the way of any rain and, certainly, no snow. Last November, we had only 3 tenths of an inch of snow. This time around we may not be so lucky. - Tom Clark

A two-for-one workout

World of fusion exercise classes is expanding By JEANNINE STEIN

Los Angeles Times

ost people wouldn’t think of combining seemingly polar opposite pursuits such as Pilates and boxing. But the odd pairing makes perfect sense to one fitness instructor. Former dancer and certified Pilates teacher Viveca Jensen thought the mindful core-strengthening properties of Pilates would complement and counterbalance the quick cardio-heavy pace of noncontact boxing with weighted gloves. The class she created, called Piloxing, is a prime example of a fusion fitness class, one that melds two often disparate disciplines and throws in an element of fun to create a comprehensive, challenging workout. “These combination classes are really popular right now,” says Pat Soley, group exercise director at

The Sports Club/LA. That gym offers a class called “The Barre Code,” which combines ballet moves, Pilates and core conditioning. “Some people found that they didn’t need a whole Pilates mat class, or they didn’t want to stretch for an hour. They want to gain the benefits of different disciplines, but they want to compress it.” Jensen, whose main studio is in Piloxing is a prime example of a Toluca Lake, came up with Piloxing fusion fitness class, one that because she wanted to offer a class melds two often disparate disthat featured cardio, core strength,

ciplines and throws in an element of fun to create a comprehensive, challenging workout.

Expectations, attitude affect aging process By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ Chicago Tribune

Those of us lucky enough to grow old must contend with the miserable stereotypes of what it’s like: the frailty, the forgetfulness, the early bird specials. But in aging, as in many things, attitude can make all the difference. Research has shown that how people feel inside, and their expectations of their capabilities, can have a greater impact on health, happiness and even longevity than the date on their birth certificates. In her seminal “counterclockwise” study, in 1979, Harvard University psychologist Ellen Langer brought men in their 70s and 80s to a weeklong retreat that was retrofitted, from the music to the newspapers, to look and feel like1959. One group of men was told to reminisSee AGING, Page 2C

Q: Besides watching salt in my diet, are there any foods I can eat that can help reduce my blood pressure and risk of stroke? — A.Y., Philadelphia A: It’s really true that an apple a day can keep the doctor away — at least when it comes to strokes. Eating fruit with white edible portions, such as apples and pears, can reduce the risk of stroke by 52 percent, according to researchers from Wageningen University in the Netherlands (source: Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association). Their 10year study involved 20,069 adults, with an average age of 41 years. None of the participants had any cardiovascular disease at the onset. The researchers documented 233 strokes during the 10 year follow up period. They found that although stroke incidence was not affected by the consumption of orange/yellow fruits like oranges or grapefruit or red/ purple fruits/veggies, they found that a high intake of white fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, cauliflower, banana and cucumber was associated with a 52 percent lower risk of developing stroke. Potatoes are not part of this white veggie group. There was a 9 percent reduced risk of stroke for every 25 gram increase in daily white fruits/veggies. An average sized apple weighs about 100 grams. Also, increasing one’s consumption of potassium (found in bananas, orange juice and tomatoes) may help lower blood pressure and regulate heart rhythm which may, in turn, lower stroke risk. Q: What is the difference between vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty? Do you recommend either of these procedures? My mother has bad osteoporosis and recently broke two vertebrae in her back and I’m wondering if they might help. — M.A., Lima, Ohio A: Both are minimally invasive procedures to fuse and repair broken vertebral (spinal) bones using special cement. The intent is to provide rapid and dramatic pain relief and restorative function in the setting of a recent vertebral fracture. In fact, in just one hour after the procedure, a treated patient can walk. While vertebroplasty involves injection of the cement into the fractured area, kyphoplasty employs a special balloon to prop up the collapsed area of spine before filling in the deformed area with cement. Neither procedure is appropriate for a herniated disc or for a healed (chronic) vertebral fracture. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine.

Walk faster, live longer, remember more

“People try all these insane diets,” then give up when they don’t lose weight and don’t feel any better, says Vik Khanna, executive director of Health and Wellness for Mercy Health Ministry in Chesterfield, Mo. Instead, Khanna recommends baby steps to fitness — as in walking. “It’s one of the things that is very underrated,” Khanna says. “Walking is the universal best exercise. It’s accessible. Most of us

can do it into our 80s and 90s.” Not only will you feel better, you can also improve your memory and maybe even live longer. How’s that for multitasking? A study published earlier this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that regular walking improved older people’s ability to remember things. Also, says Khanna, “studies show that older adults who walk faster live longer.”

So, once you get up and start putting one foot in front of the other, then pick up your speed. “The problem is, most of us stroll,” Khanna says. Going faster will make you feel even better, and you might lose weight. Walking at 2 mph, a150-pound person burns about 171 calories, taking more than 20 hours to lose a pound. At 3 mph, it would take 15 hours to lose a pound.

Just one hour of walking at 3 mph, and you’ll burn off the effects of a 99-cent bag of M&M’s.

kit,” says Peerenboom, a certified Pilates mat instructor, “and I was drumming while squatting over my kit. I realized all the muscles in my core and my body were working at once.” That light bulb moment became the class, now offered at Crunch Fitness in Los Angeles. While doing core moves — either standing or sitting on mats — students keep the beat with lightly weighted drumsticks. Drumming not only adds some enjoyment to the exercise, but moving the arms with the sticks also forces the body to work harder to keep the core stabilized. “I’ve been running marathons and doing Pilates for a while, and to be honest I was completely burned out,” Peerenboom says. “I thought, if I could make this a clever workout, you could get even better benefits than normal Pilates without having an obsessive workout. You really get into the music while you’re working out.” As discretionary time becomes more and more scarce for many people, a one-hour class that offers various elements such as stretching, resistance training and cardio becomes more appealing. It’s also a good way to dip a toe into a workout that might be intimidating for first-

timers, such as yoga or boxing. “If (a fusion class) can get someone to do boxing when they’ve never tried something like that before, great,” says Neal Pire, president of New Jerseybased Inspire Training Systems and a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. “Or maybe they’ve done Pilates before but private classes are too expensive. A Pilates/boxing class might be a good answer, and it might turn them on to doing more activity.” But for purists, combining disciplines may not be such a good thing if basic principles and techniques get watered down. Some fear that the tenets of yoga might be lost, traditional ballet positions could turn sloppy and a mean right hook could lose its sting. “If someone is looking for a pure Pilates experience, then they should take a pure Pilates class,” says Shirley Archer, a Florida-based former IDEA Health & Fitness Association instructor of the year and author of “Fitness 9 to 5: Easy Exercises for the Working Week.” “But if you’re just interested in experiencing a new kind of class, then it’s great to do something that combines things you may be interested in.”

Fusion classes, Archer adds, “tend to be developed by fitness professionals who understand and design movements in a responsible way. People should be able to get a good workout even though it may not be a pure discipline.” A good teacher should correct a bad plie to prevent an injury, she says, but not whack someone’s calf with a yardstick for an imperfect turnout. How does a prospective student know whether a fusion class achieves the right blend of fitness, fun and technique? Instructors should have a reputable certification or solid teacher training. Pire recommends asking current students what they like about a class. Felicia Linksy has lost 30 pounds and 14 inches since starting Piloxing last August. The L.A. hair and makeup artist has tried traditional boxing and Pilates but was looking for something more affordable that would fit into her hectic schedule. Mixing the workouts provides gains, she says. “The boxing moves incorporate the elongation of the body from Pilates. When you go to do a jab, your follow-through is more extended. By getting those extensions you get that much more benefit.”

alignment and balance. She even threw a little dance into the mix. “I wanted to incorporate it all in an hour,” she says. “Those disciplines may seem like they’re disconnected from each other, but they really do go together.” The class is divided into blocks of high-intensity cardio (the boxing) with more moderate core work and dance. The world of fusion classes has expanded to include increasingly popular core training combined with group cycling; ones that fuse Pilates, yoga and calisthenics; hybrids that incorporate ballet barre work with boot camp; and sessions that combine high-intensity cardio with vinyasa yoga. Other types of fusion classes blend a workout with something completely unrelated, such as a class called “Pound” — Pilates with drumming. Creators Cristina Peerenboom and Kirsten Potenza wanted to combine the best aspects of Pilates with something that added a more exciting element. “My stool was broken on my drum

ce about the era. The other group was told to let themselves be who they were 20 years earlier. By the end of experiment, both groups of men, who upon entering had been highly reliant on relatives to do things for them, were functioning independently, actively completing chores, and showed significant improvements in hearing, memory, strength and intelligence tests. The group told to behave like they were 20 years younger also showed better dexterity, flexibility and looked younger, according to outside observers who judged photos of the participants taken before and after the retreat. Expectation, not biology, leads many elderly people to set physical limits on themselves, Langer concluded; they assume they’ll fall apart, so they let it happen. “What we want to do is not get older people to think of themselves as young, but to change their mindsets about what it means to be older,” Langer said.

And being older doesn’t have to equal decay. Take memory. Thirty-year-olds forget lots of things, but they don’t blame dementia. Older people jump to the conclusion that memory failures are part of their inevitable decline, when in fact it could be that their values change about what’s meaningful enough to remember, Langer said. Rather than declare failure when they aren’t as nimble on the tennis court or spry on the stairs as they used to be, older people should recognize that anything is still possible; they just may have to try a few different strategies, Langer says. Internalizing negative stereotypes about aging can have dire health consequences, even among the young, some studies suggest. Men and women older than 50

with more positive self-perceptions of aging lived 7.6 years longer than those with negative perceptions, according to a 2002 study led by Yale University epidemiology and psychology professor Becca Levy. Young, healthy people younger than 50 who held negative attitudes toward the elderly were more likely to experience a cardiovascular disorder over the next four decades than their peers who had more positive view of the elderly, a 2006 study by Levy found. Pessimism about elderly decline, the researchers suggest, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Other studies that look at age identity — also known as subjective, or felt, age — have found that feeling younger than you really are is linked to better health, life satisfaction and cognitive abilities.

Are vitamins dangerous for older women? By MAURA LERNER Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

As a nutritional scientist, Jaakko Mursu had his doubts that vitamin supplements make people healthier. But even Mursu, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, was surprised by the results of his latest study: that dietary supplements actually increased the risk of death for older women. The study, published Oct. 10, found that women who took multivitamins were 6 percent more likely to die than others. Vitamin B6 and iron supplements were associated with a 10 percent increase in death. Folic acid: 15 percent. Only calcium appeared to lower the risk of death, according to the report published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. “Any compound, even water, is harmful if the dose is high enough,” Mursu, the study’s lead researcher, said in an interview. Vitamins may be essential for the human body, he notes, but until now, there’s been little research on “the long-term consequences of these supplements.” The results instantly prompted a backlash from supporters of the $27-billion-a-year supplement industry. “These researchers would rather wait till we all get scurvy before acknowledging any need for supplemental nutrients,” said Duffy MacKay, vice president for scientific and regulatory affairs at the Council for Responsible Nutrition. The study, he said, “may make for interesting scientific water cooler discussion, but certainly does not warrant sweeping, overstated concerns for elderly women.” Mursu, 38, said he was prepared for the backlash. “They don’t like our findings,” he said. “They honestly feel that they’re doing good.” But the long-term research, he said, suggests otherwise. “We felt it was our obligation to speak up.” Mursu and his team studied more than 38,000 women, aged 55 or older, who took part in the Iowa Women’s Health Study from 1986 to 2008. The study found that the wom-

en who took supplements, in general, had healthier lifestyles than those who didn’t. They were less likely to smoke, have diabetes and be overweight, and more likely to eat fruits and vegetables and stay physically active. So the fact that the more healthconscious group had higher death rates was particularly surprising, Mursu said. By 2004, 85 percent of the women in the study were taking nutritional supplements, the researchers found. “If we look at the numbers ... the effect is still not that dramatic,” Mursu said. “It doesn’t cut several years out of your life. It’s more likely months.” Still, that goes beyond what previous studies have found, Mursu said. In their report, the researchers concluded: “Although we cannot rule out benefits of supplements, such as improved quality of life, our study raises a concern regarding their long-term safety.” A commentary piece, published alongside the study, suggested that consumers have been misled about the value of supplements. “We think the paradigm ‘the more the better’ is wrong,” wrote Dr. Goran Bjelakovic and Dr. Christian Gluud, two European physicians. Too few vitamins may result in vitamin deficiency, they wrote, but too many may “increase the risk of toxic effects and disease.” But MacKay, of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, said the study did not prove that supplements were dangerous. “It’s important to keep in mind that this is an associative — not a cause and effect — study,” he wrote in a prepared statement. He said that “reasonable use” of dietary supplements is just one part of a healthy lifestyle, and that “dietary supplements should not be expected, in and of themselves ... to prevent chronic disease.” Mursu agrees that the study doesn’t prove the supplements were to blame. But it does show that they don’t prevent heart disease or cancer or extend life, he said. “I would just advise people to put more into (an) improved diet.”

It’s not clear what comes first: If identifying as younger makes you vital and sharp, or if people who feel vital and sharp associate that with feeling younger, said Markus Schafer, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Toronto, who last year published a study on age identity while a graduate student at Purdue University. His study, in which people on average felt12 years younger than their actual age, found subjective age was more important than chronological age in predicting performance on memorization and other mental tasks 10 years later. The cognitive benefits of feeling young were slightly more pronounced among women, he said, perhaps because of greater pressure on women to maintain youthfulness. Regardless of what causes the correlation, he said, there’s benefit to staying engaged. “Learning new things, reading in a new area, at least trying to become connected with new technologies and platforms: Those are ways people can feel connected with the ebb and flow of the world,” Schafer said.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2011 PAGE 5C

Tippling cousin’s home is no place to stay on yearly family vacation Dear Abby: When my family and I visit relatives out of state, we usually spend half the week with one of my cousins and the rest with another. One cousin, “Deborah,” has a drinking problem. Not only is it painful to watch her drink, but I noticed that her husband will hardly look at her or speak to her because he is so angry. They have a young son. Perhaps this is selfish, but I don’t intend to have our vacations subjected to that kind of stress. I love Deborah and don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I can’t stay there and expose my family to her drinking. My husband and kids understand that she

DEAR ABBY ADVICE has a problem and support me in not wanting to spend several days at her house. Is there a way to tell her this gently? I believe my other cousin would be happy to have us for the entire week. I don’t intend to stay away from Deborah completely. What can I do? — Standing Firm in Green Bay Dear Standing Firm: Make other arrangements for lodging this year. And after they are made, have a talk with Deborah’s husband and tell him why. Because you are so close to your

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

cousin and you will be there, and because her husband’s anger is obvious, it might be an opportune time for an intervention. Of course, this should be done with the help of a professional who can help Deborah get the treatment she so obviously needs. Her husband should seek guidance from the people at Al-Anon or Alcoholics Anonymous. The websites are www. al-anonfamilygroups.org and www. aa.org. Dear Abby: I have seen many letters in your column from men who are conflicted about being attracted to a person other than their spouse. I handle it by calling it “art appreciation.” In a museum you can’t touch the art but only admire it from a dis-

better way of handling this. You always know what to say. — Tongue-Tied in Florida

Dear “Museum-Goer”: While this technique may work for you, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone because many wives pick up on those “art appreciation” vibes and feel disrespected or threatened when their husbands stare at other women.

Dear Tongue-Tied: If someone who was obese stated that she (or he) was fat, I would either let the comment hang there in silence or I’d say, “What do you intend to do about it?” And if someone with a weight problem asked me if he or she was fat, instead of denying the obvious, I would respond, “What I think isn’t nearly as important as what YOU think.”

Dear Abby: What do you say if someone who is overweight says she’s fat or asks you if she’s fat? It’s always such an awkward situation, and I usually end up saying, “Of course you’re not fat!” I’d like to know if there’s a

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). Someone will suggest that your presentation was close but not quite right. This person may have some insights you can use. Then again, this person isn’t the final word that can put you through to the next level. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just because it has never been done before doesn’t mean you can’t do it. By the same token, just because it has been done before doesn’t mean you won’t be the one to do it different and better. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll close the gap between two friends who don’t know how to get along. You’ll hold the space between them and act as a buffer. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are so loyal to the terms of your friendships, spoken and unspoken. The only trouble is that the unspoken terms may not be mutually understood. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You refuse to let things get too complicated. You may have felt the need to impress someone before, but you no longer care. You let go of self-consciousness. You have fun, and you are fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You understand what it’s like to be too close to a situation to have a perspective on it. What looks like a no-brainer to you may be far from obvious to the person dealing with the situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask yourself what it would take to make big things happen in your world. One idea leads to another. Acting boldly now will save you from tedious, boring work later.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A puzzle needs solving. Take time to list all of the elements. As with jigsaw puzzles, it helps if you first lay out all the pieces on the table, picture side up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be paying for a service. A 12 percent to 20 percent tip may be customary, but use your feelings instead of a calculator to figure the amount that’s perfect for you. Give what you feel like giving — no more, no less. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is an opportunity to travel coming up. As long as it is in line with your other goals and purposes and doesn’t cut too far into your budget, you will gladly take it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not sure you have the energy to dive into a project, but dive you will. It’s because you trust the process of life. You have a feeling that your adrenaline reserves will kick in when you need them most — and you’re right. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is no need to struggle. When you feel yourself losing your even temper and grounded manner, step back and look at the problem from another angle. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1). You’ll re-examine your relationship with someone you’ve known a long time. A new point of view will set you free in some way. Perhaps you’ll develop strong ties with an old flame. 2012 brings fun and laughter. Love signs are Cancer and Virgo. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 37, 28, 52 and 17.

PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Emergency Management Agency Draft Environmental Assessment Highlands Temporary Community Housing Site Tunkhannock Township, Wyoming County, PA The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and FEMA’s implementing regulations. The Draft EA has been prepared for a proposed temporary community housing site for residents displaced by flooding in Wyoming County. Section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act authorizes FEMA to provide emergency and temporary housing for eligible disaster victims whose homes are uninhabitable or destroyed as a result of a declared disaster event (FEMA-4030-DRPA). From September 3, 2011 through September 15, 2011, heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Lee caused flooding in eastern and central Pennsylvania. Rainfall for this period ranged from 5.5 to 15 inches in a 48-hour period. Major rivers and their tributaries overflowed their banks inundating hundreds of communities in the Susquehanna and Delaware River watersheds for nearly a week. Direct housing assistance includes the provision of a manufactured housing unit on an available private, commercial park or community site location. Most of this demand will be met by placing a mobile home on an applicant’s private site if the site is located outside a floodplain, or providing a mobile home on an available pad leased in a commercial park. However, once these options are exhausted, FEMA estimates many applicants will still require housing, resulting in the need to develop a temporary (up to 18 months) community housing site. The Draft EA evaluates project alternatives and compliance with applicable environmental laws and Executive Orders #11990 (Protection of Wetlands), #11988 (Floodplain Management), and #12898 (Environmental Justice). The proposed temporary community housing site is approximately 8 acres in size, and is currently an agricultural field located on Wellwood Drive (east of Jeffstone Drive), Tunkhannock Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania (Latitude 41.5145, Longitude -75.9340). Due to the emergency nature of this action, the public comment period will be brief, from November 1, 2011 to November 3, 2011.
