DURYEA The flood water
came and went, and one mans
prediction held compellingly
true.
I toldthemtomove all the cru-
cifixes from the basement and he

Kathleen Gilmartin recounted as
she pointed to a cross hanging on
the school basement wall. One
worker said he
didnt have to
move it, the wa-
ter wouldnt
rise above it.

Amiracle?
In the Roman
Catholic Church, such a determi-
nation would be far beyond Gil-
martins pay scale, as the saying
goes. But as punctuation to the
reasonmediahadshownupat the
school Tuesday afternoon, youd
behardpressedtofindabetter ex-
clamation point.
Bishop Joseph Bambera had
convened a press conference out-
side the school to unveil diocesan
plans to assist flood relief effort.
Citing the generosity and help-
ful spirit he has seen from the
faithful in recent days, Bambera
said a special collection would be
held in all churches at all Masses
this weekend, with100 percent of
the moneygoingtohelpfloodvic-
timswithinthe11-countydiocese.
A Diocesan Relief Commis-
sion has also been formed to
bring together the resources of
the diocesan offices so the mon-
eycanbecollectedandeffectively
distributedtothoseinneed. Bam-
bera said he hopes the commis-
sion will become a permanent en-
tity that wouldactivate whenever
sucha large relief effort is needed.
Bambera stressed the effort is
intended to augment, not re-
place efforts by other organiza-
tions helping flood victims.
While he obviously couldnt
predict how much money might
be raised, he noted the diocese
garneredmorethan$1millionina
singleweekendforvictimsof Hur-
ricane Katrina, and half as much
for victims of disaster in Haiti.
So far, families in about 30 of
the 130 parishes in the diocese
have been identified as victims of
the flood, he said.
Bambera spoke above the roar
of a trash compacting garbage
truck handling debris from the
basements of Holy Rosary church
and school. The school has been
closed since Thursday because
the water climbed so high in the
basement, leaving mud and a
stench that still lingered when
Bambera invited the media for a
short tour.
Diocesan Superintendent of
Schools KathleenHanlonsaidthe
roughly 280 students, from pre-
kindergarten to eighth grade,
should be able to resume classes
Monday at the former St. Marys
School on Spring Street in Avoca,
provided no unexpected prob-
lems develop. Engineers inspect-
edthe building, closedas a school
in 2004 but still used by the near-
by church for parish activities,
and found no structural prob-
lems.
Gilmartinwasupbeat assheled
the tour. Much of the vital items
stored in the basement had been
moved upstairs before the flood
hit. Tables intheauditoriumwere
cluttered with everything form
potato chips to office equipment.
Downstairs, workershadstripped
out rugs and eliminated most of
the mud and debris.
Whether luck or divine inter-
vention, the unscathed crucifix
clearly offered inspiration amidst
the struggle.

PLAINS TWP. Agricul-
ture Secretary George Greig
said Tuesday that restau-
rants and food service facil-
ities subject to state inspec-
tion and hit by flood waters
must be reviewed by the de-
partments Bureau of
Food Safety before
reopening.
Greig said over-
time hours have
been authorized for
inspectors to help
speed the process.
Our food sanitarians
will be inspecting
restaurants and food
facilities that have
been flooded, Grieg
said at Darlings
Farm in Plains Town-
ship. We want to
work with establish-
ments as quickly as
possible so that they
may resume busi-
ness.
Greig said the sani-
tarians will work ev-
ery day, including
weekends, to get the
inspections done.
More food sanitar-
ians will be employed
in the hardest-hit ar-
eas, but inspections
will occur only after
flood waters have re-
ceded and facilities
are completely
cleaned.
We did close one restau-
rant that reopened under a
boil-water advisory, Greig
said.
Restaurants cannot reopen
when a boil-water advisory is
in effect or before the flood
water has receded. Greig
said vegetables and fruits
that were in the flood must
be destroyed. He said he saw
an oil slick in Tunkhannock
near a farm.
We dont know what was
in the flood waters, Greig
said. Farmers cant sell
their crops and restaurants
cant use any produce that
was in the flood.
Greig said products are
safe to use if they have not
come in contact with flood
water.
He said items that have
been submerged in
floodwaters should
be discarded, such
as:
Foods that have
been canned at
home.
All foods in card-
board boxes, paper,
foil, cellophane or
cloth.
Meat, poultry,
eggs and fish.
Spices, season-
ings, extracts, flour,
sugar, grain, coffee
and other staples in
canisters.
Unopened jars
with waxed card-
board seals, such as
mayonnaise and sal-
ad dressing. Also,
throw away pre-
serves sealed with
paraffin.
Discard fruits
and vegetables that
have not been har-
vested from gardens
and have been sub-
merged in flood wa-
ters.
When in doubt,
throw it out, he
said.

HARRISBURG
Insurance order shot down
T
he requirement in the national
health-care overhaul law that indi-
viduals buy health insurance is uncon-
stitutional, a federal judge in Penn-
sylvania ruled Tuesday in a question
the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to
settle.
The suit decided by Judge Chris-
topher C. Conner in Harrisburg is one
of more than 30 lawsuits nationwide
filed over the 2010 law that is President
Barack Obamas signature initiative.
Conner, who was appointed to the
federal bench in 2002 by President
George W. Bush, said the individual
mandate is an unconstitutional exten-
sion of the Constitutions commerce
clause.
Conner said provisions designed to
guarantee that insurance companies
cannot discriminate against or deny
coverage to the sick or people with
pre-existing conditions must also be
struck down.
CHICAGO
Teen driver side effects
Strong drivers license laws have led
to fewer fatal crashes among 16-year-
olds but with a disturbing side effect
more fatal accidents among 18-year-
olds, a nationwide study found.
Many states require young drivers to
get extensive experience, including
driving with an adult, before getting a
full license. But in most states those
laws only apply to those younger than
18. The new study suggests some teens
are just putting off getting a license
until they turn 18 meaning they
have little experience and higher odds
for a deadly crash.
Theres an incentive right now to
skip out and just wait until youre 18,
said Scott Masten, the studys lead
author and a researcher with Cali-
fornias Department of Motor Vehicles.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Crowd lifts car, saves life
A Utah motorcyclist who was pinned
under a burning car after a collision
expressed his gratitude to the strangers
who lifted the vehicle to rescue him.
Im just very thankful for everyone
that helped me out, Brandon Wright
said Tuesday by telephone from his
hospital bed. They saved my life.
Authorities said Wright, 21, was
riding his motorcycle Monday on U.S.
89 when he collided with a BMW.
Skid marks indicate Wright laid the
bike down and slid, police said. The
bike hit the cars hood while Wright
slid under the car and both vehicles
burst into flames with Wright trapped
beneath the burning car.
A group of about 10 men and women
rushed to help, tilting the car up to free
Wright and pull him to safety.
Wright was taken to a hospital in
critical condition, police said.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Hikers expected to be freed
Irans president predicted Tuesday
that two Americans arrested while
hiking along the Iraq-Iran border and
sentenced to eight years in jail on es-
pionage-related charges could be freed
in a couple of days after a court set
bail of $500,000 each.
The events appeared timed to boost
the image of President Mahmoud Ah-
madinejad before his visit to the U.N.
General Assembly session next week.
Last year, a third American was re-
leased on bail around the same time.

The Great Ape Smokeout
An orangutan called Shirley smokes at
Johor Zoo in Malaysia in 2010. The
orangutan, often spotted smoking
cigarettes given to her by visitors, is
being forced to quit, a wildlife official
said Monday. Authorities seized the
ape last week after she and other
animals at the zoo were deemed to be
living in poor conditions. Shirley is
being quarantined at a zoo in a neigh-
boring state and is expected to be
sent to a wildlife center within weeks.
KABUL, Afghanistan In-
surgents staged a brazen attack
Tuesday in the heart of the Af-
ghan capital, firing rockets ap-
parently aimed at the U.S. Em-
bassy or the nearby headquar-
ters of the NATO force.
Heavy explosions echoed
near a central square, as terri-
fied Afghans fled the sound of
fighting.
Insurgents appeared to have
seized a tall building under
construction as a staging
ground for the attack with
rockets and automatic weap-
ons a tactic used previously
in similar strikes elsewhere in
the country. The targeted area
is dense with diplomatic com-
pounds and other foreign in-
stallations.
The Taliban claimed respon-
sibility for the attacks, which
began in the early afternoon,
saying heavy casualties had
been inflicted.
The strike appeared to cen-
ter on the well-fortified green
zone where the U.S. Embassy
and the headquarters of NA-
TOs International Security As-
sistance force are housed.
Helicopters could be heard
circling overhead.
The capital, and the rest of
Kabul province, are now nomi-
nally under the control of Af-
ghan security forces, in line
with a plan to hand over securi-
ty responsibilities by 2014. But
NATO troops respond whenev-
er an attack of this magnitude
takes place.
Earlier, traffic in the capital
had been paralyzed by a rela-
tively benign event: Afghan
President Hamid Karzai visit-
ing a local school. The strin-
gent precautions, however,
were an indicator of how dan-
gerous it is for the Afghan lead-
er to venture even a mile or
two from his heavily fortified
palace.

WASHINGTON High job-
lessness and the weak economic
recovery pushed the ranks of the
poor in the United States to 46.2
millionin2010thefourthcon-
secutive increase and the largest
number of people living in pov-
erty since record-keeping began
52 years ago, the Census Bureau
reported Tuesday.
The share of all people in the
U.S. who fell below the poverty
line rose to15.1percent last year
from 14.3 percent in 2009. That
matched the poverty rate reac-
hed in 1993 before falling stead-
ily to 11.3 percent in 2000. Since
then the poverty rate has risen,
accelerating af-
ter the reces-
sion began in
late 2007, and
is now ap-
proaching lev-
els not seen
since Lyndon
B. Johnson
launched the
War on Poverty
in 1965.
Last year the
share of chil-
dren under 18
living in pover-
ty jumped to 22
percent, from
20.7 percent
the previous
year.
The Census
Bureaus report
also showed that the number of
people without health care cov-
erage rose to 49.9 million last
year from 49 million in 2009,
though the percentage of unin-
sured was statistically un-
changed. And there was a fur-
ther erosion of incomes at the
middle of the middle class.
Inflation-adjusted median
householdincomeintheU.S. fell
2.3 percent in 2010 from a year
ago, to $49,445.
Taken together, the data all
point to the severe and wide-
spread financial strains of a na-
tioninthe throes of aneconomic
crisis. And the report, coming
shortly after President Barack
Obamas proposed package of
$447 billion in tax cuts and
spending to revive job growth
and the recovery, is almost cer-
tain to intensify the debate over
the governments role in helping
the poor and unemployed at a
time of budget deficits and pain-
ful cutbacks in public services.
Extended federal unemploy-
ment benefits, for example,
helped some people rise above
the poverty line.
By the Census Bureaus latest
measure, the poverty threshold
last year was an income of
$11,139 for one person and
$22,314 for a family of four.

WASHINGTON Its task complicat-
ed by the cost and politics of President
Barack Obamas $447 billion jobs plan, a
special House-Senate deficit-cutting pan-
el worked Tuesday to find a bipartisan
consensus on tackling the governments
financial problems.
The panel got a sobering message
about the budget deficits toxic effect on
the economy over the long term from
economist Douglas Elmendorf, the direc-
tor of the nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office.
The nationcannot continue to sustain
the spending programs and policies of
the past with the tax revenues it has been
accustomed to paying, Elmendorf said
in a statement. Citizens will either have
to pay more for their government, accept
less in government services and benefits,
or both.
Obamas jobs plan calls for the oppo-
site: a temporary boost in spending on
roads, schools and blighted neighbor-
hoods combined with cuts to the Social
Security payroll taxes paid by workers
and their employers. He would pay for
industry and rebuild schools in crum-
bling condition.
The supercommittee is charged with
finding at least $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts
over the coming decade, which would
come on top of about $900 billion in sav-
ings wrung fromthe operating budgets of
Cabinet agencies over the same period.

PLAINS TWP. Harold Go-
lomb told the state secretary of
agriculture exactly why the gov-
ernment should help farmers in
the flood region.
If you dont pro-
tect farmers, this
country is in trou-
ble, Golomb told
Agriculture Secreta-
ry George Greig
during a visit to
Darling Farms along
River Road. Future
generations arent
interested in work-
ing 80 hours a week
for little pay. And without help
during times likes this, their de-
cision to stay out of this busi-
ness is much easier.
A family farmer should be
top priority in this country, Go-
lomb said.
Golombs farm borders Dar-
lings near the Susquehanna
River. They and other farmers,
like Larry OMalia, John Lucas
and Marty OMalia who each
suffered devastating damage to
their farms, crops and machin-
ery wanted to hear what
Greig had to say about financial
aid.
Greig toured Luzerne, Wyom-
ing and Lackawanna counties
and saw firsthand the flood
damage on farms in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania.
He said the de-
struction caused
by remnants of
Tropical Storm
Lee has dealt a
devastating blow
to the states agri-
culture industry.
The remnants
of Tropical Storm
Lee have caused
hardships for
many Pennsylvanians, with
farmers among the hardest hit,
Greig said. Even with wide-
spread crop damage and wet
soil promising to delay harvest,
farmers will weather this storm
just as we have others with
determination and hard work.
Golomb, 73, said he is the
last of a fading generation of
farmers. He told Greig he
knows he wont be around
much longer, but the state and
federal governments need to
make it easier for farmers to
survive devastating events like
the recent flood. At Darlings,
the water level rose to 20-plus
feet, causing severe damage to
buildings and machinery and
wiping out acres of crops that
were near harvest.
Weve done this all of our
lives, Golomb said. We feel
obligated to keep planting and
growing. We keep prices low be-
cause we work for next to noth-
ing here.
Greig said producers covered
by crop insurance may be able
to file a damage claim and re-
ceive federal disaster assistance.
However, the farmers at Dar-
lings said many farmers dont
carry crop insurance because
the policies are expensive and
they dont return adequate pay-
ments when claims are filed.
Its a joke, said Larry OMa-
lia.
Keith Eckel, former president
of the Pennsylvania Farm Bu-
reau, was at Darlings and
agreed that state and federal
farm insurance programs are in-
adequate.
Greig said farmers participa-
ting in a federally sponsored
crop insurance plan must notify
an agent within 72 hours of dis-
covery of crop damage. All re-
sidue and crop damage should
be left intact until insurance
agents can properly assess ex-
tent of damage.
Greig was accompanied by
Bill Wehry, executive director of
the Pennsylvania Farm Service
Agency.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, said the
farmers should assess their
damage and report it to PEMA
and FEMA.
Farmers who are right at
harvest time have been wiped
out, Yudichak said.

PLYMOUTH Not once but
twice, police allege, two men
took advantage of evacuated
homes to plunder.
Police arrested Randy Jones,
35, and Terrance Schell, 28, both
of Franklin Street, Plymouth, on
Monday on charges they burglar-
ized a house on East Railroad
Street at about 10 a.m. Friday
and a house on Downing Street
at about 3 p.m. Saturday.
The two men are among at
least 13 people arrested on suspi-
cion of looting during the man-
datory evacuation that was or-
dered on Thursday. The evacua-
tion was lifted Saturday after-
noon.
Numerous firearms, video
game systems and a laptop com-
puter were stolen fromthe house
on East Railroad Street. Comput-
ers, collections of coins and com-
ic books and a power tool were
stolen from the Downing Street
home.
Police said the two men en-
tered the two houses after
smashing rear windows.
They were arraigned on bur-
glary-related offenses by District
Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanov-
er Township and jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $20,000 bail each.
First Assistant District Attor-
ney Jeffrey Tokach said penal-
ties, if convicted, of certain bur-
glary-related charges are greater
because the offense occurred
during a natural disaster.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Homeowners discovered their
houses had been burglarized
when they returned Saturday af-
ter a mandatory evacuation dur-
ing the flood scare by the Sus-
quehanna River.
Police learned Jones had taken
pictures of the stolen items that
he sent to someones cell phone.
Jones wanted to take the col-
lections of coins and comic
books to Allentown as selling
the property locally would be too
dangerous, the complaints say.
Police found the stolen items,
including the firearms, at their
residence.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Sept. 21before Dis-
trict Judge Donald Whittaker in
Nanticoke.
In an incident not in the flood
zone, Plains Township police ar-
rested William Clark Jr., 49, of
Scranton, and his brother, Albert
M. Clark, 37, of Moosic, on
charges they stole metal ma-
chine parts and excavating buck-
ets from a closed business on
state Route 315 at about 11 a.m.
Saturday.
Township police said the theft
occurred during a federally de-
clared natural disaster due to
flooding, according to the crimi-
nal complaints.
Clark Jr. and his brother were
jailed at the county prison for
lack of $10,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing for the
two brothers is scheduled on
Sept. 20 before District Judge
Diana Malast in Plains Town-
ship.

PITTSTON A man who al-
legedly threatened to kill a juve-
nile fled from police through
the flooded River Front Park
along Kennedy Boulevard and
hid in sewer pipes before he was
captured on Saturday.
Officers chasing Ryan Hart-
man, 20, in the park said they
were at risk of being injured by
debris and could have fallen in-
to the swollen Susquehanna
River, which according to the
Middle Atlantic River Forecast
Center, was at a depth of 30
feet.
Police allege Hartman threat-
ened to kill a 13-year-old boy
with a baseball bat.
Hartman was charged
with six counts of reck-
less endangerment, two
counts of simple assault,
and one count each of
terroristic threats, re-
sisting arrest, escape,
criminal trespass, disor-
derly conduct and ha-
rassment. He remained
jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility on
Tuesday in lieu of $10,000 bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
The teen told police he was
walking with a girl calling each
other names in Sullivan Park.
He said Hartman was in the
park and threatened to kill him
with a baseball bat at about 7
p.m.
Hartman discarded the bat
and ran away when police
showed up at the park. Police
later spotted Hartman standing
in front of a pizza restaurant.
Hartman ap-
proached an officer
and said he was at his
house watching the
Penn State football
game. Hartman turn-
ed around and ran to-
ward South Main
Street and Kennedy
Boulevard.
Police spotted Hart-
man running toward River
Front Park, which at the time
was declared off limits due to
river flooding, the complaint
says.
Six officers were searching for
Hartman, who was spotted hid-
ing in pipes being used for con-
struction of a sewer project.
Hartman continued to flee and
was captured after he was found
hiding in weeds near the closed
Water Street Bridge, police said.
Police said Hartman was
wanted by the Luzerne County
Adult Probation Department.
Cops: Man threatened juvenile with bat
Ryan Hartman, 20, allegedly

Local colleges and universi-
ties may not have felt as big a hit
from the weekend flooding as
some public school districts, but
students lost class time all the
same. Four Luzerne County in-
stitutions have reopenedandare
working through problems cre-
ated by the flood.
None of the four campuses
suffered flood damage, though
Wilkes University and Kings
College sit in the heart of the
Wilkes-Barre flood plain and
were subject to the mandatory
evacuation.
Luzerne County Community
College and Misericordia Uni-
versity both served as evacua-
tion centers over the weekend.
The Anderson Sports and
Health Center on the Misericor-
dia campus hosted about 40 eva-
cuees and a dozen pets. LCCC
hosted 225 people.
Spokespersons said their in-
stitutions are willing to work
with students who may have
found it impossible to get back
to class once schools reopened.
JohnMcAndrewof Kings said
faculty was notified that about
15 students had contacted the
college and said they would not
be able to get back for classes
Monday. Lisa Nelson at LCCC
said President Thomas Leary
had sent a message to students
telling them who to contact if
theyhaveproblems. Paul Krzyw-
icki at Misericordia cited univer-
sity policy that notes it is ulti-
mately the students responsibil-
ity to contact a professor to see
what, if any, requirements will
be needed to fulfill a course.
Krzywicki also noted that
more that 250 students volun-
teered to help at the evacuation
center, and that nursing stu-
dents went to Meadows nursing
home and Mercy Center to help
with clients evacuated from oth-
er nursing homes. Students vol-
unteered at other institutions as
well.

Some shoppers were also able
to share the lighter side of the
storm.
Jim Ballard, who has been in
the area for only three weeks on
a work project, has experienced
a hurricane, an earthquake and
a flood while in the area.
Ballard, of Mississippi, said
that, nonetheless, he was im-
pressed with the positive atti-
tude and perseverance of area
during recent weather related
challenges.
Residents Larry and Cheryl
Coleman, who recently moved
back to the area from Maryland
to be near family, shared their
frustration in finding their way
back to their home because of
area roads that were temporari-
ly closed.
I moved out of the area,
said Cheryl, laughing, right af-
ter Agnes and now here we go
again.

walk outside the building.
The books that had stayed
dry were moved into a makesh-
ift library, a former school on
Luzerne Street where many of
themsit in a large square pile in
the center of a room.
We call it the library cube,
Bramblett-Barr said with a
laugh.
Now Bramblett-Barr travels
between the two buildings on a
bicycle much easier than try-
ing to navigate a car through a
borough crammed with heavy
equipment and debris piles.
Despite their own need for
assistance, the primary goal is
to reopen the library in the old
school as soon as possible, get
some computers and provide
Internet access to those who,
like the library, lost their ac-
cess to the web when the flood
rushed in.
To that end, the library set up
a recovery fund through the Lu-
zerne Foundation, an umbrella
organization that handles nu-
merous charitable and non-
profit efforts.
Cash is the top need right
now, Bramblett-Barr said, to
buy computers and other es-
sential equipment to get a tem-
porary library up and running.
Those willing to donate can
contact the foundation at 570-
714-1570. The library plans to
post information about the
fund drive on its website at
www.wplibrary.org, and on its
Facebook page accessible
through the library site.
Until a temporary facility is
set up, those who have materi-
als on loan and want to return
themcan do so at any facility in
the Luzerne County Library
System. A posting on the West
Pittston Librarys website ad-
vises patrons should not wor-
ry if items were destroyed in
the flood, or if they are return-
ed late.
Bramblett-Barr, who has
been library director for two
and a half years, said she and
childrens program director
Summer Belles had been so ea-
ger to get the library up and
running, they donned boots
and waded to it Friday evening.
We broke curfew, they both
said with a laugh.
The two women praised
their fellow librarians in the
county system and their neigh-
bors for all their help. Seeing
so many people help is amaz-
ing, Bramblett-Barr said.
Did she expect this when she
agreed to become director of a
public library?
It wasnt in the job descrip-
tion, she said with another
laugh, to clean up mud!

River and Solomon Creek.
Alice Matyas, the owner of
Austies, said the restaurant,
which she has owned for 35
years, is a total loss on the in-
side, but she does not believe it
sustained any structural damage.
The water reached about 6 feet
inside, destroying all her equip-
ment and furnishings.
Matyas didnt expect toget any
water after initial reports Thurs-
day that said the river would
crest at around 38 feet. Ive been
here 35 years and it came to the
doors before, but never came into
the restaurant, she said.
Whenthecrest projectionturn-
ed to over 40 feet, she suspected
she might get some water, so she
and employees began to move
things out. They were still in the
process of loading trucks when
water began to surround the res-
taurant. They gave us until 8
p.m. (to evacuate), then they
changed it to 4 p.m. By noon we
were surrounded. It just came up
so fast, she said.
Bob Maley, owner of Dundee
Beverage, Brenda Bartlett, own-
er of Village Pet Supplies, and To-
ny Maninno, owner of Slate Bar
and Lounge, were also stunned
by how fast the river rose.
It came so much faster than it
was supposed to. We didnt finish
loading the truck, Bartlett said.
The water came up to the curb.
We knew at that point we had to
get out.
Bartlett said at a river crest of
38 feet, she expectedthere would
be about 2 feet of water in the
building, never expecting the
crest would actually be 42.66
feet. Who would think it would
be 6 feet? she said.
Fortunately, she was able to re-
move about 95 percent of her
product, she said. Several foster
cats shecares for alsofoundtem-
porary homes, she said.
Maninno was not as fortunate.
He said he was told the area
didnt flood so flood insurance
was unnecessary. The 5 feet of
water that inundated his bar on
Friday made him quickly realize
his mistake. Food, furniture,
equipment and more were either
ruined or damaged, he said.
Maley said he also did not have
insurance. He got most of his in-
ventory out, but decided to leave
his walk-in cooler stocked based
on his experience in two prior
evacuations in 2004 and 2006.
The water never reached his
store in those instances, he said.
All the business owners said
they plan to reopen as soon as
possible.
Matyas said she is waiting for
an insurance adjuster to check
out the restaurant. She has flood
insurance, but doesnt believe the
policy will cover all the damage. .
Maley said the owner of the
shopping center has said he
would try to get the center ready
to open within 30 days.
Bartlett said one of her distrib-
utors will sell pet food from a
truck parked in the lot.

the sides of U.S. Route11into the
West Nanticoke section on Tues-
day as residents continuedthe ar-
duous taskof clearingmud-caked
rooms and discarding their river-
soaked furniture and other be-
longings.
Its just unbelievable, Conrad
said. Everyone in a lower area
any place in the township got hit.
If you dont live up on a hill, you
were affected.
The township, which is unpro-
tected by the levee system, has
been hit by several significant
floods in the past decade. This
one was particularly devastating,
physically and emotionally, she
said.
Every face I see has an empty
look. They just dont know what
they are going to do.
On Tuesday, the Ostopowicz-
es home was leaning noticeably
to the side and appeared to have
sustained extensive structural
damage throughout. The couple
said they believe its a total loss.
The devastation is all the more
difficult to deal with, they said,
because they thought they had
done all they could to protect
themselves after they were de-
nied a buyout.
Afewyears ago they took out a
$30,000 government-sponsored
loan to build an addition that al-
lowed them to move their fur-
nace and water heater to the sec-
ond floor.
Now I have a $30,000 loan,
and I still got flooded anyway,
said Sharon Ostopowicz, 61.
The couple have flood insur-
ance to cover the damage, but, af-
ter enduring15 floods since1969,
theyve decided theyre not com-
ing back this time.
Its just devastating. Every-
thing you worked so hard for all
your life is gone, Sharon Osto-
powicz said. We just cant do it
any more.
Jeff Bankovich, owner of Ban-
kos bar and restaurant at the in-
tersection of routes 11 and 29, al-
so knows what its like to be a re-
peat flood victim.
The high water marks of three
previous floods he endured in
2004, 2005 and 2006 are etched
in black marker on a side wall in
what used to be a second dining
roomof the restaurant. This time
the building was hit with at least
7 feet of water and had to be en-
tirely gutted down to the studs.
Bankovich, 38, said he had fin-
ished a major remodeling project
about six months ago and busi-
ness was booming. He estimates
hes losing $1,000 a day in in-
come.
Still, Bankovich said, he feels
fortunate compared to others.
I feel bad for the people who
live here. I get to leave here and
go home. These people, when
they go to bed, they still have the
smell and dirt downstairs, he
said.
A few hundred yards south on
Route 11, Steve Curtin was as-
sessing the damage done to his
business, the Flamingo Diner
and motel.
Curtin, 50, lives in a home sit-
uated at a higher elevation just
behindthe diner. He andhis wife,
Lisa, watched helplessly as flood
waters inched closer and closer
to the restaurant.
He said he was able to get a lot
of foodout, but there was no time
to remove the restaurant equip-
ment.
We worked right up till it got
on the floor. I shut the power off
and walked away, he said.
President Barack Obama on
Tuesday declared the region a di-
saster area, clearing the way for
residents to receive financial
help.
In addition to homes and busi-
nesses, numerous roads in the
township sustained damage,
Conrad said. Officials are still cal-
culating the dollar amount.
Township officials remain in
close contact with the Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy, whichis inchargeof therecov-
ery efforts, she said. Applications
for assistance are available at the
township municipal building, lo-
cated at 925 W. Main St. and Ply-
mouth Township Fire Company
on East Poplar Street.

Employees of businesses
that were forced to close due
tofloodingwill beeligiblefor
a special disaster unemploy-
ment assistance program of-
fered by the federal govern-
ment, according to informa-
tion provided by the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency.
The program is similar to
unemployment compensa-
tion that is provided for per-
sons who are laid off from
their jobs. Akey difference is
that it provides benefits for
certain persons who ordina-
rily would not be eligible for
unemployment compensa-
tion, according to a docu-
ment on FEMAs website
that details disaster assist-
ance that is available.
Those persons include the
self-employedandthose who
do not have sufficient quar-
ters of worktoqualifyfor oth-
er unemployment compen-
sation.
Numerous businesses
throughout Luzerne and sur-
rounding counties were
forced to close due to severe
damage caused by flooding
of the Susquehanna River,
which reached a record-set-
ting crest of 42.66 feet on Fri-
day.
Locally, two major em-
ployers, Redners Warehouse
Market and Kmart, both in
Edwardsville, have been
closed indefinitely pending
extensive repairs.
Eric White, a spokesman
for Redners, said the compa-
ny is trying to transfer em-
ployees to other stores. Any
employee with questions is
asked to contact the corpo-
rate office at 610-926-3700,
he said.
All persons seeking the di-
saster unemployment bene-
fits must register with the
states Bureau of Labor and

Next door, the first floor of Wendy

home saw 42 inches. Inside, the
woodenfloors were buckling.
The family on Tuesday worked to
remove mud from the basement.
They already tore out the first-floor
carpeting, set it to the curb and pow-
er-washedthe floors.
We just lost one couch and a few
odds and ends. We were able to get
most everything up on the second
floor before finally heeding a mid-
night evacuation order at 5 a.m. Fri-
day, Wendy Vesloski said. I wish
they wouldjust buy us out.
Sandy Walp, emergency manage-
ment coordinator for thetownshipof
about 1,500, said most damage oc-
curred on Main and River streets in
theMocanaquasection, whereabout
440residents live in295households.
Preliminary reports estimated 120
homes were damaged.
In similar-sized Nescopeck, 50

ry Stacie Kachurka said.
After visiting residents, Mayor
Tim Kelchner said he expects the
count to rise to about 75 or 80, with
varying degrees of damage.
Gladys Whitmore, 87, of 2nd
Street, lost appliances, anewfurnace
and water heater because 3 to 4 feet
of water backed up in her basement,
and belongings stored in the garage
in her back yard, said her daughter,
Janet Crouse.
The damage was nowhere near
bad enough to make Whitmore con-

Bear Creek residents raise
water, flooding concerns
BEAR CREEK TWP. The
township is well out of the
flood zone, but issues related to
water and flooding still dom-
inated on Monday as super-
visors fielded complaints about
water runoff and cleared the
way for township road crews
and equipment to be used for
cleanup in flooded parts of the
valley.
Residents of the Forest Park
development appealed to the
supervisors for assistance with
water they said is running
through a culvert under Route
115 and flooding their base-
ments. They also complained
about runoff they said comes
from a water main that is raised
up and diverting ground water
onto their properties. Super-
visors said they were familiar
with the situation and a town-
ship engineer had been on site
after last weeks heavy rain to
see it first-hand. The next step
will be to talk to PennDOT
about the easement and deter-
mine who is legally responsible
for the problem, supervisors
said.
They also promised to send
out the engineer to review the
water situation on a lot on Old
Bear Creek Boulevard.
Also discussed was a deterio-
rated culvert on a loop of road
off of Route 115. The township
received funds from a gaming
grant to repair the culvert and
is awaiting approval from the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection to go ahead
with the work, but recent heavy
rains caused additional deterio-
ration and flooded the roadway,
making it necessary to close it
and use a steel plate to shore it
up. Supervisors discussed
proactive steps to protect mo-
torists, including the possibility
of closing that stretch of road
until repairs are made. Road-
master Ruth Koval said she
monitors the situation and
closes the road as necessary.
Koval also said she has been
in touch with local municipal-
ities affected by flooding last
week and offered the use of the
townships trucks and road crew
to assist. In support of this type
of assistance, the supervisors
unanimously approved a resolu-
tion that will allow crews to be
dispatched when disasters
occur.
The next meeting of the
supervisors is scheduled for
Monday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. in the
municipal building. The agenda
will include the townships Act
537 sewer plan.

Last-minute work going on at
the new Dallas High School
DALLAS TWP. -- The new
Dallas High School will open its
doors to students this week, but
site workers will be very busy
until then tying up all loose
ends before the school can
begin its academic year today.
Bob Nesbit of Crabtree, Rohr-
baugh & Associates, the project
architect, told board members
Monday paving still needs to be
completed, and issues caught
by a site inspector relating to
the buildings compliance with
the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act need to be
resolved.
Nesbit said these ADA issues
cannot be done overnight, and
asked the project inspector for
a 60-day window to perform
these tasks, which include
changes to the chemistry and
art labs and adding handrails to
the auditorium.
If not completed before the
start of school, Superintendent
Frank Galicki said, these chang-
es would have to be performed
after school hours or on week-
ends in order to ensure the
safety of students. Nesbit also
presented about $48,000 in
change orders to the board that
will be voted upon at next
weeks regular meeting.
Galicki said a Connect ED
call will be going out to parents
in the district Tuesday and
today about traffic pattern
changes on campus. Details will
also be available on the dis-
tricts website, www.dallassd-
.com. Parent and student traffic
for the high school, middle
school and Dallas Elementary
will be sent through the access
road off Hildebrandt Road,
while buses will access the
schools from Conyngham Ave-
nue.
Galicki said administrators
and township police officers
will be there today to help vehi-
cles adjust to the traffic chang-
es.
Jack Wega, director of federal
funds, gave the board a report
about the Dallas Middle School
evacuee shelter enacted on
Thursday for those in the flood
plain. He said many district
employees and students volun-
teered their time to help the
effort. The school housed 126
people during the event and
was closed on Saturday.
Due to inclement weather,
the board announced its third
change for the Dallas High
School dedication. It will be at
6:30 p.m. Oct. 3 before the
boards work session.
The board approved a con-
tract for administrators through
June 2016.
Business Manager Grant
Palfey said most administrators
took a pay freeze for the year
2010-11. Two administrators,
middle school principal Tho-
mas Duffy and Dallas Elemen-
tary School Principal Thomas
Traver, will receive their raises
over two years.
Subsequent raises through
2016 will be based on the state-
wide Act 1 Index. Palfey also
said the contract also included
a health care feature that allows
administrators to reimburse

MEETINGS
DALLAS TWP. The Dallas
Township Planning Commission
granted conditional preliminary
approval to Chief Gathering LLC
for its proposed pipeline project.
The company received approval
condition upon several factors, in-
cludingreceipt of permits fromthe
state Department of Environmen-
tal Protection and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
All work is also privy to zoning
requirements. The board of super-
visorswill holdaspecial meetingat
7:30 p.m. today to discuss further
requirements Chief must followas
a result of ongoing negotiations.
The route Chief
planned for its pipe-
line has deviated
sinceits original sub-
mission in May, and
Ted Wurfel, vice
president of Environ-
mental, Safety and
Regulatory Affairs for Chief, could
not specify a reason for these
changes.
The pipeline will take gas from
wells in Susquehanna and Wyom-
ing counties to the Transco inter-
state pipeline at a site located
about 1,300 feet from the Dallas
School District campus.
Residentsaskedquestionsabout
whether a pending lawsuit against
TuulaDAnca, apropertyowner on
Goodleigh Road who signed a
right-of-wayagreement withChief,
would have an effect on the route
Chief has chosen for its gathering
line.
Thomas Brennan, acting as so-
licitor for the planning commis-
sion, said that if the route deviates
from the plans approved by the
commission, Chief would need to
go through the process again.
Chief attorney Ken Komoroski
said he didnt expect the pending
lawsuit against the company
wouldhaveaneffect onthecompa-
nys route.
The approval was alsocondition
upon receiving comments from
the Luzerne County Planning

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge on Tuesday sched-
uled a January trial date for a
man charged in the slaying of a
Pittston woman who was later
found dead on a Susquehanna
River bank in Wilkes-Barre.
Judge William Amesbury said
Arthur Stoss, 49, of Pittston
Township, will stand trial on
Jan. 18 after being charged with
the March death of Lillian Ca-
labro, 48.
Assistant
District Attor-
neys Michael
Vough and
Frank McCabe
said that some
scientific evi-
dence is still
being tested,
while defense attorneys Allyson
Kacmarski and David Lampman
said they are preparing requests
to file in the case.
Amesbury said he wanted to
schedule the trial in January so
that if the upcoming November
election changes any of the at-
torneys statuses Vough is a
candidate for Luzerne County
judge then prosecutors have
enough time to make any ar-
rangements necessary.
Amesbury said another pre-
trial hearing will be held on
Nov. 9, and a hearing on any
motions and requests on Dec.
16.
On March 12, police discov-
ered a stripe of blood and sever-
al of Calabros belongings in
Pittstons Riverfront Park near
the Firefighters Memorial, set-
ting off a week-long search of
the river by authorities.
Calabros body was discov-
ered downstream by a man
walking his dog on the river
bank near Kirby Park, Wilkes-
Barre, on March 21.
According to the criminal
complaint, Stoss daughter, Jen-
nifer Milazzo, of Pittston, turn-
ed him in.
Milazzo told investigators she
spoke to her father at her resi-
dence in the early morning
hours of March 12, and he told
her he murdered someone.
Stoss was wet from the waist
down when he arrived, she said,
and that Stoss told her he was
involved in a drug deal gone bad
that led him into a fist fight with
a black man, Smith said.
She said Stoss told her he hit
the guy with a rock so hard he
heard the skull pop and was
pretty sure the guy did not make
it out and is still floating down
the river.
Stoss said he and Calabro
walked from a friends apart-
ment to Kennedy Boulevard in
Pittston to buy drugs, and while
waiting in the lot, the driver of a
red Mitsubishi Eclipse pulled up
and said to go to the area of Ca-
labros residence at Gabriel
House, a transitional housing fa-
cility for women on William
Street.
Stoss said he and Calabro
walked together through an al-
ley between Gabriel House and
the Joyce Insurance Building
where the Eclipse pulled up. Ca-
labro got in, the car pulled away
and neither returned, Stoss said.
Investigators said a surveil-
lance video of the alley behind
Joyce Insurance did not show
Stoss, Calabro or a vehicle
matching the description given
by Stoss.

Arthur Stoss is charged with
killing Lillian Calabro, whose
body was found in March.

WILKES-BARRE The state
Supreme Court on Monday de-
nied a prosecutors request to ap-
peal a lower courts decision in
the case of a teen charged with
homicide, making it likely the
case can move forward in Lu-
zerne County Court.
The state Supreme Court de-
nied a request by prosecutors to
appeal a March decision by the
Superior Court.
In that decision, the Superior
Court ruled prosecutors cannot
reargue whystatements made by
Cody Lee, 17, who is charged in
the December 2009 shooting
death of his great-grandfather,
Herbert Lee, will not be permit-
ted to be used.
The courts ruling on Monday
makes way for a hearing on
whether homicide charges in
Lees case should be sent to
county juvenile court since Lee
was 16-years-old at the time of
the shooting. Lees case is cur-
rently beingheardinadult court.
Or, prosecutors can decide to
appeal the Supreme Courts deci-
sion to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In April, Senior Judge Joseph
Augello ruled that statements
Lee made to investigators in
2009 will not be permitted to be
used because Lee was suffering
from hypothermia and was un-
able to discern whether talking
to police was the right or wrong
thing to do.
Prosecutors First Assistant
District Attorney Jeff Tokach
and Assistant District Attorney
Richard Hughes argued in a De-
cember 2010 filing that the Supe-
rior Court should reconsider its
decision because Augello ruled
Lee suffered from a moderate
degree of hypothermia, which
prosecutors argued unsuccess-
fully is a minor injury that
couldnot affect Lee frommaking
an informed waiver of his Mi-
randa rights.
Prosecutors had said Augellos
ruling clearly substantially
handicapped their case.
Lees attorneys, Peter Paul
Olszewski, Jr., Melissa Scartelli
and Charles Rado, said in court
papers filed in January that pros-
ecutors misunderstoodAugellos
ruling regarding the hypother-
mia.
The commonwealths argu-
ment can be construed as disin-
genuous, the attorneys wrote.
(Augello) never found that a
moderate degree of hypothermia
equates to a minor injury.
The attorneys also argued that
prosecutors are absolutely and
totally incorrect to argue that
Lees father, Scott, was not an in-
terested adult when his son was
being questioned by police.
Court denies appeal of ruling regarding statements in alleged homicide
Cody Lee unable to discern
whether talking to police was
right thing to do, ruling says.

places where his staff members will help people who have questions
with the federal disaster assistance procedures. Those centers are

9/11 has new meaning
for grateful flood victim
F
or the past 10 years, Sept. 11 has
brought out the most angry, hateful
feelings I never thought I could have.
Sunday, I reclaimed 9/11 for me.
On that day, family, friends and strang-
ers came to my home to help me rebuild.
They worked in horrible, stinky, dangerous
conditions. They carried garbage, furniture
and precious family heirlooms all to the
curb. They did the jobs I couldnt do be-
cause emotionally it tore me apart and
physically I couldnt take down my chil-
drens artwork from the walls and trash it.
They did it for me, because it had to be
done and I didnt have the strength.
They swept, shoveled and schlepped for
hours and hours and then, many of them,
after helping me for all those hours, went
on to my sisters house and to other
friends houses to help as well. They all
smiled and hugged not only me, but also
each other.
A team, thrown together haphazardly
from various facets of my life, seamlessly
got the job done as if it had been practicing
this task for months. This team of people
changed my life.
On Sept. 11, 2001, I stood on 5th Avenue
in Manhattan and watched our world fall
apart. Sunday and every 9/11 anniversary
going forward I always will remember and
honor those who lost their lives back in
2001. But because of what I witnessed on
Sept. 11, 2011, on York Avenue, my emo-
tions on 9/11 will be those of gratitude and
my memories will be of rebuilding.

Valley bands together
to get the job done
I
just wanted to remind the folks of the
Wyoming Valley how in times of need
we all come together.
When the flood evacuations started, and
folks on both sides of the Susquehanna
River were stressed and trying to deter-
mine where they could go and how to get
there, others were trying to figure out how
they could help. One such company was
Mericle Development. Mr. Mericle and his
employees made their way to both Wilkes-
Barre and Forty Fort as soon as they heard
about possible breaches in the levee.
With their trucks and tractors they
helped to bolster the levees to prevent any
catastrophic flooding in those areas and
surrounding communities.
They and all the volunteers, National
Guard, city, county and state workers, etc.,
who helped to prevent even more flooding
as well as neighbors, friends and shelters
who took in people are to be commend-
ed. We truly are the Valley with a heart.

of church attendance
W
e have had an earthquake, a hurri-
cane and now a flood in rapid succes-
sion. I pray we do not get the next
event described in the Bible.
It is a good time for all people to attend
and support your local church of choice.
We all might be able to support each other
in this way.

Dedicated work ensures
well-being of patients
O
n behalf of the Wyoming Valley Health
Care System, I extend our sincere
gratitude to all of the caring individu-
als and organizations that put forth such
extraordinary efforts to ensure the safety
and well-being of our patients during the
recent disaster.
From the physicians and staff who
stayed at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
for the duration of the crisis, to the count-
less other staff members who ensured the
well-being of patients while their own
families and residences were in jeopardy, I
offer my heartfelt thanks. That our conti-
nuity of patient care was never disrupted is
testament to the unwavering commitment
and dedication that Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital physicians, employees and volun-
teers bring to bear each and every day.
I also would like to acknowledge the
dedication and commitment of our Behav-
ioral Health Services staff and physicians,
many of whom left their homes and fam-
ilies to care for their patients at other
organizations that were gracious enough
to accept evacuated patients.
I would be remiss if I did not recognize
the cooperative efforts of those organiza-
tions: Clarks Summit State Hospital,
which accepted and helped care for more
than 80 First Hospital Wyoming Valley
patients transferred to its facility; Berwick
Hospital Center and Retirement Village,
which helped care for the evacuated resi-
dents of our personal care facility, Wyom-
ing Valley Manor; and Special Care Hospi-
tal in Nanticoke, which also helped ensure
a smooth and orderly transfer and return
of patients over the course of a very hectic
72-hour period. We owe the leadership,
physicians and staff of these fine orga-
nizations a serious debt of gratitude and
commend their respective health care
teams for their much-appreciated support.
Its often said that the true test of charac-
ter in an individual or organization is in
the ability to overcome adversity. The fine,
caring individuals of our organization
together with all of the outstanding indi-
viduals and organizations that braved
disastrous conditions and circumstances to
ensure the safety of an entire community
have most certainly passed this test with
flying colors.
Ive never been more proud to be a part
of the WVHCS family and to work for an
organization in a community that so richly
deserves its standing as the Valley with a
heart.
Cornelio Catena

Wyoming Valley Health Care System
Wilkes-Barre
Engineers, Kanjorski
deserve our gratitude
O
ur family experienced the Agnes flood
when the Susquehanna River over-
topped the levee near Hicks Creek in
Exeter. While we received only minor
damage, other areas of the Wyoming Val-
ley sustained heavier damage or were
completely wiped out in June 1972. Dam-
age due to Tropical Storm Agnes was the
most expensive natural disaster in the
history of the United States with nearly
$3 billion in damage in 1972, about $14
billion in todays dollars.
Can anyone really see the Valley recover-
ing from that type of damage today?
Now, in 2011, as we recover from the
highest Susquehanna River levels ever
recorded, its important to take a few mo-
ments to remind ourselves whos respon-
sible for helping to provide the outstand-
ing levee protection that saved much of
the Valley from disaster.
Without the dedicated efforts of U.S.
Rep. Paul Kanjorski who worked
throughout his congressional career to
obtain funding for the Wyoming Valley
Levee-Raising Project and saw it through
from inception in 1986 to completion near-
ly 20 years later and the expertise of the
Army Corps of Engineers without whose
knowledge the levees could not have been
raised the Valley would not have the
outstanding protection that saved it last
week from Agnes big sister Tropical
Storm Lee.
So, while remembering the past, we
wanted to take a few moments to send a
huge thank-you to former Congressman
Kanjorski and the Army Corps of Engi-
neers for a job well done in helping to save
our future. Our familys heartfelt thanks
goes out to you both.

T
HE U.S. POSTAL Ser-
vice, a cumbersome,
complex behemoth
tied down by the re-
straints of Congress, has seen
more changes over its more
than200years thanperhaps any
other governmental or quasi-
federal agency.
The constitutionally mandat-
edservice, for themost part, has
evolvedwiththe times provid-
ing mail delivery by steamboat,
Pony Express, railroad and jet
airplanes. But, in recent years,
the post office has beenhog-tied
by an outdated business model
that has forced it to the edge of
economic disaster.
Last week, Postmaster Gen-
eral Patrick Donahoe warned
congressional leaders that the
USPSis at thebrinkof default.
The reason: the Postal Ser-
vice cant afford to pay the U.S.
Treasury a mandated $5.5 bil-
lion for future retirees health
benefits. Donahoe asked Con-
gress to enact comprehensive
legislation by the end of the
month to prevent a default.
President Barack Obama is
expected to propose a 90-day
extension on the retirement
fund payment, which would
give postal officials, the admin-
istration and Congress time to
consider a more extensive plan
to help stabilize an organization
that, according to Donahoe, is
losing so much money that it
might have to shut down by
next summer.
For the short term, Congress
shouldgrant the 90-day delay in
payment to the retirement fund
andgive the postmaster general
authority toreorganize staff and
refine services.
For the long term, Congress
must decide what essential
communication services the
Postal Service can and should
continue to provide and then
give it the ability make tough,
sensible business decisions.

Biden coming Friday
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
said he received confirmation that Vice
President Joe Biden will be coming to
the area on Friday to tour flood damage.
Bidenwas first saidtobe comingtoWest
Pittston, but according to an update
fromBarlettas office late Tuesday night,
that has changed to a location yet to be
determined. No additional details have
been released yet regarding the time of
Bidens arrival.
Gov. Tom Corbett was pleased that
President Obama acted swiftly on his re-
quest for a declaration of disaster.
This declaration means federal aid
will now be available for our residents
who have sustained significant damage
as a result of last weekends disaster,
Corbett said. As our residents begin the
rebuilding process, the state stands
ready to act as a partner in ensuring effi-
cient and timely assistance for all affect-
ed Pennsylvania residents.
Until the FEMA inspectors arrive,
Sweet said people should not wait to
clean up their properties and discard de-
bris.
I was in Plymouth Township, and I
noticed a lot of people already cleaning
up, he said. They are doing exactly
what everybody shouldbe doing -- clean-
ing their houses, removing contaminat-
ed and destroyed items and putting
them on the curbside.
Sweet advised flood victims to docu-
ment all losses and take as many pic-
tures as possible.
W. Craig Fugate, FEMA administra-
tor, Department of Homeland Security,
namedThomas J. McCool as the Federal
Coordinating Officer for federal recov-
ery operations in the affected area.
Sweet will tour the area andmeet with
officials to get a handle on the scope of
the devastation.
The presidential disaster declaration
was welcome news to Mayor Tony De-
nisco in West Pittston. He said he was
pleased to learn that Biden, a native of
Scranton, will be coming for a tour.
We welcome him with open arms,
Denisco said. We want him to see what
the taxpayers of West Pittston are going
through.
We need protection, whether it be a
levee or a dredging of the river, Denisco
said. But first and foremost, we need
federal funding or West Pittston will be-
come a ghost town.
Denisco said 52 tri-axle trucks have
been brought in to haul flood debris to
landfills.
Weve acted fast on cleaning up, the
mayor said. Were taking the debris out
as fast as we can; were trying to stay one
step ahead of everything.
Deniscosaidthere are other concerns:
his towns infrastructure has been dam-
aged, roads have been torn up and sewer
lines stressed.
We needtoevaluate the entire town,
he said. The first wave is to get every-
thing off the street. We have refrigera-
tors filled with food. Were concerned
about odors and rodents. This cleanup
wont be over in a week or two. We have
to get this stuff out of town.

A front-end loader heads down Susquehanna Avenue in Exeter on Tuesday afternoon to remove an earthen dam between
Schooley Avenue and Lincoln Street built to prevent flooding last Thursday.
Mayor Tony Denisco of West Pittston said
there will be an informational meeting
tonight at 7 at the Wyoming Area High
School, 20 Memorial St., Exeter, for flood-
affected residents to pick up necessary
paperwork to begin the filing process for
state and federal aid.

uated because its a transition
point, he said.
Theres a visible crack in the
wall and other cracks. We were
concerned about the weight and
force of the water with the
ground so soft, so we had to
shore the wall so there would be
no vibration and further cracking
and collapse of the wall, Urban
said.
Parts of the $250 million levee
system that developed boils
must also be ad-
dressed, officials said.
Boils occur when wa-
ter finds a seepage
path under the levee,
jeopardizing the sta-
bility of the levee.
About 1,000 tons of
dirt and rock were
dumped on a large
boil behind the coun-
ty recreational com-
plex near the Wyom-
ing Valley Airport in
Forty Fort, Urban
said.
County flood pro-
tection crews also
dropped about 100
tons of dirt and rock
on another boil at the base of the
levee in Wyoming by the Midway
Shopping Center. Stabilizing ma-
terial was also put on boils at the
levee base behind The Laurels
nursing home in Kingston, at the
end of Fellows Avenue in Hanov-
er Township and at several loca-
tions in Plymouth, Urban said.
The Army Corps also will be
asked to evaluate whether there
are signs of erosion on the river
side that will require stabiliza-
tion, officials said.
The seals at the bottom of the
Market Street Bridge flood gates
on both the Kingston and Wilkes-
Barre sides must also be studied,
Urban said.
These seals are placed be-
tween the roadway and bottom
of the flood gates when they are
installed. Sandbags and plastic
are also placed behind the gates
once theyre erected on the river
side.
Water pressure blew out sec-
tions of the seals on both sides,
Urban said.
We need to see if there is any
type of material that would be
better, Urban said.
The county kept the seals for
evaluation, Gibbons said. He
stressed that the Market Street
flood gates were structurally
sound and
showed no signs
of damage when
they were disas-
sembled and re-
turned to stor-
age.
The flood
gates at both
downtown
Wilkes-Barre
levee portal
openings also
performed ex-
tremely well,
Gibbons said.
Theyre the
lowest closure
structures, so
theyre under
the most pressure, he said. We
got very little seepage from
them.
Several other flood gate clo-
sures, sluice gates, flaps and the
13 pumping stations that are part
of the levee system must also be
inspected by the Army Corps,
Urban said. Each pumping sta-
tion has multiple pumps.
The federal government will
likely fund most of the repairs,
though the state and county may
be required to pay a portion, Ur-
ban said.
The county pays for mainte-
nance of the levee and pumping
stations with a special fee on
14,470 properties in low-lying ar-
eas that were inundated by the
1972 Agnes Flood and are now
protected by the levee.
Though many complained
about the fee when it was insti-

On Friday, officials were dealing with a boil near the Luzerne County Sports Complex. The levee was holding back the still-rising river
at the top of the photo. But near the yellow excavation vehicle, muddy river water flows up from the ground and into the soccer fields.
DAMAGE
Continued from Page 1A
The federal government
will likely fund most of
the repairs, though the
state and county may
be required to pay a
portion, Urban said.
The county pays for
maintenance of the
levee and pumping
stations with a special
fee on 14,470 proper-
ties in low-lying areas
that were inundated by
the 1972 Agnes Flood.

THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2011

THE conven-
tional thinking
goes like this:
Roy Oswalt
should be your
fourth starter
come postsea-
son because
hes a veteran, has pitched suc-
cessfully in October, seems to
be getting stronger as the sea-
son winds down. Roy is your
man because hes more trust-
worthy than any rookie, even
one as good as Vance Worley.
I dont disagree with the rea-
sons. Its the conclusion that I
contest. Worley should be your
fourth starter come playoff time
for all those reasons, and lets
add one more: Oswalt has come
out of the bullpen in the post-
season. Worley has not.
If Im thinking about changing
someones role for the postsea-
son, it makes
better sense to
keep the rookie
in his comfort
zone and have
the veteran
shoring up a
bullpen that
leans heavily
on a tired (self-
proclaimed)
eighth-inning
setup guy
(Antonio Bas-
tardo), a sev-
enth-inning
rookie who has
been knocked
around of late
(Michael
Stutes) and
Brad Lidge,
from whom no
one knows
what to expect.
Solid as he
has been this
season, the
same could be
said of Ryan
Madson, entering his first post-
season as a closer.
Oswalt may be better served
in a role of stabilizing things
back there. Especially if you
think you might get an eight- or
nine-inning effort from one of
the Big 3.
Three-for-three? Youre more
optimistic than me. Earlier this
year, discussing postseason
disappointments during the
Braves long run, John Smoltz
noted that batters get more
picky in the playoffs and per-
haps umpires do, too. Especially
at the start of games. Pitch
counts rise.
Oswalt has pitched in the
postseason three times, with
varying degrees of success. His
numbers this year are solid but
not spectacular, and frankly not
as good as Worleys. Both men
have been able to keep the team
in the game. Pitching against
two potential playoff opponents
in the last week, Worley passed
the test even in his Sunday loss.
Squeezed unmercifully by home
plate umpire Gerry Davis, Vani-
mal continually gathered him-
self behind the mound so as not
to allow the missed pitch to
affect his next one.
I dont know what it is, he
said last week. I dont want to
say I get butterflies, but I defi-
nitely have an adrenaline rush
going out there at the start ...
Eventually Ill slow things down.
I always seem to throw a lot of
pitches in the first inning.
Worleys poise and ability to
wriggle out of trouble has been
a revelation to the entire orga-
nization and particularly those
who had been around him dur-
ing his formative years in the
minors. Sitting next to one such
minor league coach recently, I
listened as he marveled over
what he called a (expletive)-
you mentality that Worley had
found over his last two seasons.
OPINION
S A M D O N N E L L O N
Pen is spot
for Oswalt
in playoffs
If Im
thinking
about
changing
someones
role for
the post-
season, it

fort zone

TIGERS
TUNKHANNOCKTryingtopre-
pare to play football while being tor-
mented by threatening flood waters
turned out to be a pretty tough task.
For Coughlin, it got easier at game
time.
Joe Parsnik ran for 214 yards and
four touchdowns as the Crusaders
crushed Tunkhannock 48-11 in a
showdown between schools featur-
ing players from two towns heavily
affected by last weeks flooding
caused by Tropical Storm Lee.
I think it was important we both
played, said Coughlin coach Ciro
Cinti, whose team consists of many
players from Plains who watched
their business hubs on River Street
get ravaged by flood waters. All you
see (in the news) is about flooding.
This is a good release.
Parsnik released some of his anx-
iety pretty quickly.
He scored on runs of 6, 77 and 18
yards to lead Coughlin to a 35-3 lead
by halftime, then added a 55-yard
touchdown burst to finish the teams
scoring.
We knew it was going to be diffi-
cult, Parsnik said. But our coaches
got us together for practices andthey
prepared us well. My offensive line
played really great today.
So did his fellow Coughlin run-
ning back Zac Evans, who started
the scoring with a 45-yard touch-
down jaunt on the games third play,
then later added a 35-yard scoring

Fridays Lake-Lehman vs. Wyoming Area game will now be played at
Lake-Lehman due to flooding in West Pittston and Exeter near Wyoming
Areas stadium.
Kickoff will be 7 p.m.
Also, Coughlin will host Valley View at 2 p.m. Saturday at Wilkes-Barre
Memorial Stadium. The game was originally set for Friday night.
A few days spent analyzing a
lopsided loss yielded a simple
conclusion for Joe Paterno.
Catchthe ball. Onoffense and
defense.
We gotta catch the ball and
we gotta make some things hap-
pen on defense in a tough ball-
game, the Penn State coach
said. We just havent done that.
Its as simple as that.
Thats the answer Paterno
had for many of the Nittany Li-
ons problems duringhis weekly
press conference on Tuesday.
Coming off of a 27-11loss to Ala-
bama, Penn State isnt planning
any radical changes heading in-
to Saturdays game at Temple.
Including at quarterback.
Despite ranking 118th out of
120 teams in the country in pass
efficiency after two weeks, the
Lions will continue to rotate
quarterbacks Rob Bolden and
Matt McGloin for a third week.

NEWYORKThe long looks
on players faces and the anger in
Deputy Commissioner AdamSil-
vers voice made it obvious:
There was no progress Tuesday
in talks to end the NBA lockout.
And with less than three weeks
until training camps, the latest
setback may be a tough one.
I think com-
ingout of today,
obviously be-
cause of the cal-
endar, we cant
come out of
here feeling as
though training
camps and the
season is going
to start on time
at this point,
players associ-

Derek Fisher of
the Lakers said.
Still divided
over the salary
cap structure,
owners and
players decided
to pass on talk-
ing again today,
and no further
meetings are
scheduled at
this point.
Well, we did
not have a great
day, I think its
fair to say that,
Commissioner
David Stern
said. On the
other hand, we
did say that it is
our collective
task to decide
what we want
onthe one hand
on each side,
and two, what
each side needs
if we choose to work ourselves in
such a way as to have the season
start on time. Thats still our
goal.
Training camps have been ex-
pectedto openOct. 3 andthe reg-
ular seasons opening night is
scheduled for Nov. 1.

couraged at one, the ability to
start on time, and were not so
surethat theremaynot befurther
damages or delay trying to get
the season started, union exec-
utive director Billy Hunter said.
The owners are not inclined at
this stagetomoveoff theposition
where theyve anchored them-
selves.

Coming into the season,
Steve Addazios record as a
head coach was 0-0. That did
not mean he had never been a
head coach.
For a few short weeks in De-
cember of 2009, Addazio was
near the top of the college foot-
ball world. Florida coach Ur-
ban Meyer had abruptly and
shockingly announced his re-
signation because of health is-
sues, and suddenly Addazio,
the offensive coordinator, was
pegged to lead the Gators into
the Sugar Bowl in January.
Meyer, however, eventually
reversed field and was indeed
on the sideline for that game,
eventually returning to coach
one final season in Gainesville.

girls volleyball teamfaceda formidable task
in its quest to return to the district playoffs
for a secondstraight year.
However, the Mohawks took a step in the
right direction with a 3-0 victory over MMI
in Wyoming Valley Conference Division III
action on Tuesday. The scores were 25-15,
25-18, 25-17.
Perhaps just as important, Meyers may
have found a new leader in 5-foot-9 senior
outside hitter Kyra Wolsieffer, who helped
ease the graduation loss of star player Mad-
die Lavery.
Wolseiffer paced the Mohawks (1-1) with
14 kills, six aces and 10 digs She seemed be
everywhere at the right
time while setting the tone
for her teammates.
What stood out most
about Wolseiffers perform-
ance was her service play.
She consistently kept the
Preppers (1-1) on the run
with her accurate serves, especially in the
thirdgame.
The Mohawks took an 11-4 lead on three
straight Wolseiffer service points, and put

HOUSTON Clint Barmes
hit a three-run homer and J.A.
Happ pitched six solid innings
against his former team as the
Houston Astros beat Philadel-
phia 5-2 on Tuesday night,
preventing the Phillies from
wrapping up a playoff spot.
The Phillies needed a win
over Houston or a loss by St.
Louis to clinch at least a wild-
card berth. But the NL East
leaders will have to wait to
secure their place in the post-
season after the Cardinals beat
the Pirates 6-4 on Tuesday
night.
Philadelphia starter Cole
Hamels (14-8) fell to 0-3 in his
last five starts against the As-
tros after going 3-0 in his first
four career starts against them.
The Astros won their second
straight game to avoid setting a
franchise record for losses.
Nationals 3, Mets 2
NEW YORK Craig Stam-
men got his first win and hit in
more than a year, scoring the
go-ahead run on Ryan Zimmer-
mans seventh-inning single to
lead the Washington Nationals
over the New York Mets before
another sparse crowd at Citi
Field.
Stammen (1-1) entered in the
sixth with two on, then got
three straight outs to escape
the trouble. Stammen then
singled off Dale Thayer (0-2)
leading off seventh a .217
hitter coming in, Stammen had
not gotten a hit since July 30
last year.
Ian Desmond singled him to
second with one out, Rick
Ankiel advanced Stammen by
grounding into a forceout
against Tim Bydak, and Zim-
merman lined a single to left off
Bobby Parnell.
Braves 7, Marlins 1
ATLANTA Brian McCann
and Dan Uggla each hit a three-
run homer and the Atlanta
Braves snapped their longest
losing streak of the season,
beating the Florida Marlins to
end a four-game skid.
The Braves, whose lead over
St. Louis in the NL wild-card
standings is down to 4
1
2 games,
held a private meeting before
the game in hopes of shaking
things up.
It finally worked in the sixth.
Uggla drew a one-out walk from
Brad Hand (1-7), Matt Diaz
singled to right and McCann
came through with a towering
shot over the center-field wall
for his 24th homer. Uggla put it
out of reach in the seventh with
his career-best 34th homer, also
a three-run shot.
Peter Moylan (2-1) claimed
the win by getting the final out
in the sixth.
Reds 2, Cubs 1
CINCINNATI Brandon
Phillips homered again, helping
Mike Leake and the Cincinnati
Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1
Tuesday night and end a three-
game losing streak.
Phillips homered for the third
time in two games. He has 15
home runs this year.
Leake (12-9) allowed six hits
and two walks over eight in-
nings in what is expected to be
his final start of the season. The
Reds plan to shut him down in
an effort to prevent arm prob-
lems.
Leake pitched a career-high
nine innings in his previous
start, giving up three hits
against the Cubs at Wrigley
Field.
Cardinals 6, Pirates 4
PITTSBURGH Nick Pun-
to hit a go-ahead double in the
ninth inning and the surging St.
Louis Cardinals overcame three
errors by first baseman Albert
Pujols to beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Trying to stay in the wild
card and NL Central races, the
Cardinals won for the sixth
time in seven games.
The loss dropped the Pirates
to 67-81. In a season that once
had so much hope, they are
stuck with a non-winning sea-
son for the 19th straight year.
N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P
Barmes homer
leads Astros
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE Matt Wie-
ters hit a two-run homer in
the eighth inning and the
Baltimore Orioles blunted the
Tampa Bay Rays playoff
push with a 4-2 comeback
victory Tuesday night.
Evan Longoria homered for
the Rays, whose five-game
winning streak ended. Tampa
Bay began play Tuesday trail-
ing Boston by three games in
the AL wild-card race after
winning eight of nine.
The Rays led 2-1 in the
sixth before the Orioles ral-
lied to snap a three-game
skid.
With the score 2-all, Tampa
Bay reliever J.P. Howell (2-3)
retired the first two batters
in the eighth before Vladimir
Guerrero singled. Adam
Jones entered as a pinch
runner and Howell threw
over to first base five times
including three in a row
before serving up a 1-1
pitch that Wieters drove into
the left-field seats.
Red Sox 18, Blue Jays 6
BOSTON Tim Wakefield
earned his 200th win on his
eighth try, Dustin Pedroia hit
two homers in Bostons high-
est-scoring game of the sea-
son and the Red Sox ended
a five-game losing streak
with a rout of the Toronto
Blue.
The Red Sox needed the
victory badly after their lead
in the AL wild-card race over
Tampa Bay had dropped
from nine games to three
over the previous nine days.
And the 45-year-old knuckle-
baller was eager to end the
long wait 0-3 in seven
outings since his last win
July 24 to become the
108th pitcher with 200 wins.
Royals 4, Twins 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Bruce Chen pitched eight
crisp innings, Alex Gordon
homered and the Kansas City
Royals beat the Minnesota
Twins.
Chen (11-7) allowed two
singles, struck out eight and
walked one. He was 0-2 with
a 7.94 ERA in his previous
two starts.
Chen yielded a leadoff
single to Ben Revere, who
stole second. He was the
only Twin to get past first
base against the left-hander.
Rangers 10, Athletics 4
ARLINGTON, Texas
David Murphy had a pair of
solo home runs among his
four hits and Josh Hamilton
put the AL West-leading Tex-
as Rangers ahead to stay
with his 20th homer in a
victory over the Cleveland
Indians.
Murphy already had both
of his homers, his 10th and
11th of the season, before
Hamilton hit a scorching
liner off Justin Masterson
(11-10) into the right-center
field seats by the Texas bull-
pen for a 4-2 lead in the
fifth.

S P O R T S
That wont go anywhere in
October. But that adrenaline
rush that leads to missed pitch-
es would seem a toxic recipe for
a seventh- or eighth-inning
reliever.
I tend to make things diffi-
cult for myself, Worley said last
week after beating the Braves. I
always seem to figure it out,
slow things down and get my-
self out of jams ... I dont like to
put myself in those situations.
But it seems as though I find
myself in that spot often. I just
know I need to make a pitch and
get myself out of it.
As a starter, Worley has done
that fearlessly. But they are his
messes. Late-inning work will
likely involve inherited runners.
When he balked himself into
trouble Sunday, I couldnt help
but think of October conse-
quences. When he bounced a
pitch with two runners on in
that same game, I thought of
how slim the margin of error is
for those in late-inning jams.
So ... if Vance Worley is going
to make trouble for himself, I
would prefer he do it early in
the game, not late. I would
prefer to give him clean innings
to, as he said, Make a pitch and
get out of it.
And if he doesnt? A short
leash, and Oswalt to the rescue.
That formula might not work
in reverse. Worley replacing
Oswalt or any of the other three
starters, especially with runners
already on? Well, now youre
really talking about pressure on
a rookie.
So Id go Worley as the fourth
starter. Roy to the pen.
Not because I think less of
either.
Really, its because I think the
world of both.

Philadelphia Daily News.

after a few drives.
When asked if he had a time-
line for deciding on a full-time
quarterback say, by the start of
Big Ten play Paterno balked.
I think weve made a decision
that we want to play bothof them
for awhile until we find out exact-
ly which one we think might be
better for the football team and
help them win as opposed to the
other kid, Paterno said. But
right now I think its a toss-up. I
think both of them are doing
well.
Weve got two quarterbacks as
we talk now. Whether we have
two quarterbacks a week from
now, well see.
Paterno again insisted that the
Lions passing numbers a com-
bined 24-of-59 for 258 yards and
no touchdowns are not as ter-
rible as they seem, citing numer-
ous dropped passes.
Its concentration, obviously.
Its a question of confidence, Pa-
terno said. Thats the hard part
sometimes when you watch prac-
tice, a couple of those kids that
didnt make some catches make
some great catches in practice.
I mean, its just something Ive
got to get them over. And we can
play up to our potential. Were
not playing as well as we can
play, I dont think.
Infirmary report
Starting right tackle Chima
Okoli missed much of the Alaba-
ma game with what appeared to
be a right ankle injury. The Lions
responded by sliding DeOntae
Pannell over to Okolis spot and
inserting John Urschel in at right
guard.
Though Paterno wouldnt ad-
dress Okolis situation, fellow
starting tackle Quinn Barham
said he didnt think it was seri-
ous. According to Barham, Okoli
practiced on Monday and should
be good to face the Owls.
Wide receiver Curtis Drake
saw the field for the first time
since the 2009 season on Satur-
day but was not involved much in
the offense.
Paterno said he isnt sure if
that will change any time soon.
I dont think Drakes a
hundred percent yet, Paterno
said. I keep asking the doctors,
Is he getting better, is he getting
better? And he goes out there
and runs, but hes still not (ready
for contact).
Green out indefinitely
Paterno bluntly answered a
question about Stephfon Greens
status with the team.
He wont be with them this
week, Paterno said without
elaborating.
Green wasnt even on the side-
line for the loss to Alabama after
being charged earlier in the week
for furnishing alcohol to minors.
Though the alleged incident hap-
pened in July, Paterno didnt find
out about it until recently.
The senior tailbacks future re-
mains up in the air. Barham said
Tuesday that he hoped Green
would be able to return to the
squad but that he didnt know
any more than that.
Holding pattern
Each week Paterno expresses
optimism about returning to the
sideline, and each week he ends
up coaching the game from up-
stairs in the booth as he recovers
from a hip injury.
So it goes this week.
I hope Im gonna do it this
week, Paterno said. I thought I
could do it Saturday, but I dont
move quick enough to get out of
the way. I can walk without the
cane now, although I have a lot
of pain after I walk awhile. And
then it gets sore.
But Imgetting there. Imhop-
ing Imgonna be able to do it Sat-
urday.
PATERNO

actly as it is before they would
agree to discuss anything else.
Frankly, were having trouble
understanding why the label of a
hard cap is whats breaking apart
these negotiations right now,
and thats what we discussed for
a long time as a committee and
thendiscussedtogether withthe
players, saidSilver, his voice ris-
ing as he spoke.
After three meetings among
small groups in the last two
weeks, full bargaining commit-
tees returned to the table Tues-
day. They could also have met
Wednesday, but Stern said it was
best the two sides step away and
meet with their own member-
ship groups on Thursday.
Thoughowners are seekingan
overhaul of the leagues financial
system after saying they lost
$300 million last season and
hundreds of millions more in
each year of the previous collec-
tive bargaining agreement, the
salary cap appears to have
emerged as the biggest obstacle
to a new deal.
The current system allows
teams to exceed the ceiling
throughthe use of various excep-
tions if they are willing to pay a
luxury tax, giving big-market
teams such as the Lakers who
can take on added payroll an
advantage over the little guys.
But Hunter said a hard cap is
highly untenable, referring to
it as a blood issue to the play-
ers. He added the players were
prepared to make a significant
financial move, but they would
only agree to give on dollars if
they got a win on the system.
For us, if we give on one, we
have to have the other. It cant be
just a total capitulation, he said.
The league said players want-
ed owners to guarantee they
would concede on the cap as a
condition of talking about any-
thing further, but Stern said all
of the owners were completely
unified in the viewthat we need-
ed a systemthat at the end of the
day allowed 30 teams to com-
pete.

Bowl as a swan song Addazio
snagged his first true head
coaching job at Temple after six
seasons with the Gators.
Now 2-0 headed into Satur-
days game against the Nittany
Lions, Addazio credits that brief
time as the Gators coach for
some of his early success.
Those experiences really
helped me, Addazio said. I
didnt come in here as a blank
page. I knew how I wanted to go
about things. So I feel very, very
comfortable.
And I have two very good co-
ordinators. When you surround
yourself with great people, you
can go about your business of
managing a football team.
Those coordinators would al-
so be Gators refugees in Scot
Loeffler and Chuck Heater as
the offensive and defensive coor-
dinators, respectively.
Loefflers name is well-known
among Penn State fans. Aformer
quarterbacks coach at Michigan,
Loeffler was widely credited
with helping sway Wilson High
Schools Chad Henne to the Wol-
verines and away fromthe Lions.
So despite the loss of Al Gold-
en a former Penn State captain
and assistant coach to Miami,
the Owls still have a coaching
staff with strong credentials in
the MAC.
Certainly Temple couldnt
have had a much better start un-
der Addazio. The Owls easily
dispatched a pair of inferior op-
ponents in Villanova and Akron
by the combined score of 83-10.
Combine that with Penn
States 27-11 loss to Alabama this
past week, and the Lions opened
as just 6
1
2-point favorites over
the Owls. This despite Temples
3-36-1 all-time record in the se-
ries.
Addazio is well aware that
Penn State is several levels
above Villanova and Akron. But
he is hopeful that the coaching
staffs big-game experiences will
help the Owls prepare.
I think it will, Addazio said.
Weve been in those games. We
understand how to approach
them. The approach does not
change. You rely on fundamen-
tals, on making sure you dont
overreact one way or the other.
Were just going to have a nor-
mal work week. The emotions of
the game, all of that will take
care of itself.
As for Penn State, Addazio has
the benefit of an extra months
worth of preparation last Decem-
ber in getting ready for the Out-
back Bowl.
Being an offensive coach at
heart, Addazio has spent much
of his time breaking down the Li-
ons defense on film. And he said
that he has already seen signif-
icant differences from last sea-
sons unit.
Obviously its a much im-
proved defense, Addazio said.
Its a defense that has matured
and grown. Those were younger
players that are now veterans. I
think theyre one of the top de-
fenses in country.

run early in the third quarter.
Joe, hes got fantastic vision,
Cinti said. He does things you
cant teach. Zac Evans ran the
ball very well. I thought our line,
overall, blocked better today.
Despite suffering the defeat,
at least Tunkhannock felt a little
better compared to the past
week.
Their students just returned
to school Tuesday after the citys
downtown went under water
through the weekend. The fam-
ily of one player on the teamlost
its home tothe flooding, andtwo
others who play in the freshman
program had homes severely
damaged in the disaster.
So getting back to playing
football seemed like a victory in
itself to Tunkhannocks players.
I think it mattered an awful
lot to the kids, Tunkhannock
coachRodAzar said. It got their
minds off the images theyve
been seeing.
Heres a couple thatll stick
with the Tigers.
They got on the board with
Colton Coolbaughs 28-yard field
goal near the end of the first half,
then got in the end zone with
Josh Robinsons 64-yard touch-
down run with 3:37 to play.
Wed hoped it would be a bet-
ter result, Azar said. Youve got
to look at the upside of being
able to play the game.

were just trying to keep our spir-
its up and play up to our best.
Despite their loss to Wyoming
Area last week, Meyers was sky-
high for Tuesdays match, Wol-
seiffer added. Our whole team
was just on its toes. When we
sticktogether, wecandowhatev-
er it takes to win.
Meyers coach Mary Mushock
said the Mohawks service play
was a total turn around fromlast
week.
We probably hit 30 serves in-
to the net (against Wyoming Ar-
ea.) Today we committed less
than10 service errors.
Wolseiffer played a key role by
playing an outstanding overall
game, added Mushock, a former
All-Star setter for Meyers.
She definitely made an im-
pact. All of our servers were able
to hit the ball over the net, and
were very eager to win.
Meyers also get solid efforts
from senior outside hitter Katie
Flannery and 6-2 junior middle
hitter MacKenzie Winder.
Flannery notched seven kills,
13 digs and six service points.
Shehadtwostraight kills that en-
abled the Mohawks to take con-
trol of game two.
However, Flannery made the
play of the day in game three
when she managed to dig a shot
withher backtothenet, scooped
it up and tossed it backwards
over her head for a kill that gave
Meyers a 14-10 lead.
You have to follow the ball
and never let it drop, said Flan-
nery. I try to always be on my
toes. We were all pumpedup and
played full of energy.
Winder was an imposing force
at the net and also served well.
She wound up with six kills, two
blocks and nine service points.
We stuck together and talked
a lot, Winder said. We pumped
each other up. I tried to look for
open spots, and I hit better when
I was able to jump.
Amy Kowalczyk added 15 as-
sits, two kills and three aces for
Meyers, despite leaving the
match temporarily after taking a
nastyfall inthe game one. Senior
middle hitter Annika Wessel led
MMI with seven kills, two ser-
vice points and two digs. Kirsten
Young notched five kills, four ac-
es and four assists.
According to Wessel, the Prep-
pers didnt play up to their capa-
bility.
There was a gap of 10 feet
from the net we never really de-
fended. Our middle defenders
werent able close it up. We
lacked speed and mobility.

Crestwood posted a 25-17, 25-

KINGSTON Crestwood has
one of the more potent offenses
in the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence.
So Wyoming Valley West
coach Charlie Whited strength-
ened his defense during the
second half of Tuesdays match
against the Comets by moving
one of his starting center-mids
to defense.
When his son, Eric Whited,
was summoned to play stopper,
the junior didnt think he would
have a chance to help his team
out on offense.
Turns out he did when he
was moved back to center-mid
in overtime and Ryan Wisnew-
ski went back to defense.
Whited was then credited
with the lone goal of the game
with just 1:19 remaining in
overtime as the Spartans shut-
out the Comets 1-0 at Spartan
Stadium.
Sophomore Ryan Yushko
took the third corner kick of
the extra session for Valley
West (2-0) and nailed the ball
into the box. Fellow sophomore
Nick Singer then lined a cross
pass to Whited for the score.
I hit it with my outside left
foot into the bottom corner,
Whited said.
Both teams showed signs of
rust. The Spartans only prac-
ticed one day in the last week
and the only time they prac-
ticed at the stadium, there were
no goals.
The Comets (0-1) were slated
to open their season more than
a week ago, but inclement
weather dampened those plans
and Tuesdays action was their
first in the conference this sea-
son for new coach Pat Upton.
The teams were locked in a
defensive battle as neither
offense got many excellent
scoring chances. Thats because
the defenses were swarming to
the ball when opponents drove
into the others zone and only
22 combined shots were taken
in the nearly 90 minutes of play.
Crestwood was a favorite
and Im as shocked as anybody
else, Charlie Whited said. We
really played well and I dont
even know what to say. Im a
little shocked. I really am. But
Im excited for the boys. This
gives us something to build
on.
Many coaches and fans of
WVC soccer picked Crestwood
as one of the teams to beat in
the division and to compete for
the District 2 Class 2A title.
After a down year in 2010,
maybe the Spartans have

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Holy Redeemers Eric Kerr has
has 13 receptions for 196 yards
and two touchdowns this sea-
son.
Fans are not the only ones
who cant wait for those mar-
quee early-season games, like
Ohio States trip to Miami
this weekend.
As a player, man, you love
em, said Ohio State interim
coach Luke Fickell, a former
Buckeyes player. You believe
youre invincible, and thats
what sometimes makes you
good.
Miami has been stricken by
scandal, but winning at Coral
Gables isnt expected to be
easy for Ohio State. So isnt
this a risk, no matter the
recruiting benefits that might
come with a little exposure in
talent-rich Florida?
You want to be able to test
your team, Fickell said.
Some people get too caught
up in, Well, you know weve
got to be smart before you
get into your conference be-
cause if we lose a game we
cant get in the BCS. I dont
think you can think about it
that way.
Said Illinois coach Ron
Zook, whose team hosts
22nd-ranked Arizona State
this Saturday: This is why
you come to the Big Ten, to
play in these kind of games.
Satisfying ticket buyers, at-
tracting recruits and toughen-
ing up players for the confer-
ence-game grind requires a
balancing act by coaches and
administrators.
They must schedule a mini-
mum number of home games
to keep ticket, concession and
parking revenue up. They
have to consider the impor-
tance of overall records for
bowl bids. Theres an aspect
of goodwill, too, with helping
smaller area schools who rel-
ish playing on a bigger stage
and need Big Ten money to
balance their budgets.
Ohio State paid Akron
$850,000 to lose 42-0 in the
season opener in Columbus,
and the Buckeyes are giving
Colorado $1.4 million to
come to the Shoe on Sept.
24.
This is how the matrix be-
gins to fit together: Playing in
Columbus is a thrill for the
Ohio-born players on Akrons
roster. Its greater exposure
for the program. For the
Buckeyes, its a guaranteed
home game and, usually, a
sure win.
Akrons athletics depart-
ment must generate about 25
percent of its own revenue,
according to athletics director
Tom Wistrcill, so taking
home close to $1 million for
playing one tough nonconfer-
ence game is a no-brainer.
Weve got to go play these
money games, Wistrcill said.
Thats life at a mid-major.
Michigan will start next
season against Alabama in
Texas at the home of the Dal-
las Cowboys. The Wolverines
still have two open dates to
fill in 2012. Theyre already
playing Air Force and travel-
ing to Notre Dame.
Weve always played an ag-
gressive schedule where Ive
been, Wolverines coach Bra-
dy Hoke said.
Scheduling
no easy task
for Big 10
Teams must balance a
competitive schedule
against finances.

COL L EGE FOOTBAL L
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame will try to avoid its first
0-3 start since 2007 by patching
up the potholes in its defense
and trying to reduce all those
mistakes whenthe Irishhave the
football.
With No. 15 Michigan State
coming to town Saturday, the
Irish also want to reverse a trend
of losing close games in the final
moments a pattern so far in
coach Brian Kellys second sea-
son in South Bend.
Notre Dame has lost to Michi-
gan two years in a row on last-
second touchdowns, had a
chance to beat Tulsa last season
before Tommy Rees threwa late
end-zone interception and suf-
fered a disheartening setback to
the Spartans a year ago. Thats
when the Irish were beaten in
overtime on a TD pass off a fake
field goal.
Kelly insisted several times
Tuesday that the Irish are head-
ed in the right direction, despite
the start. He said its part of
building a program.
I like our players. I like where
were going. I knowyouve got to
win; I get that, he said. We
should have obviously taken
care of the football better, made
a couple plays here or there,
coached a little bit better. Were
all disappointed. Its not accept-
able to lose, especially at Notre
Dame.
The Irish have averaged 510
yards of offense in losses to
South Florida and Michigan and
receiver Michael Floyd already
has 25 catches. But all those
numbers are diminished by 10
turnovers five lost fumbles
and five interceptions. Throw in
17 penalties, shaky punting and
Notre Dames efficiency has
been short-circuited.
I think if it was a mess the
whole day, and youre just look-
ing at it and going, Oh, my God,
this thing is just out of control,
Kelly said. Its a play here, its a
play there that we can get back,
so they can see the body of work
is there, they just have to be
more attentive to the little de-
tails.
The defense that was sup-
posed to be the teams strength
also had its issues in Saturday
nights crushing 35-31loss at Mi-
chigan. The Wolverines scored
28 points in the fourth quarter,
capped by an 80-yard drive with
half a minute on the clock that
included a 64-yard pass and De-
nard Robinsons TD toss with
two seconds left.
Cornerback Gary Gray had a
rough night and was burned sev-
eral times by big pass plays, in-
cluding the game winner.
Oh, hes got to have a short
memory at that position, you
know, and certainly college foot-
ball, NFL football, youre going
to have a day like that, Kelly
said. Its unfortunate that peo-
ple look at that one position be-
cause its not just Gary Gray that
we put this loss on. Theres a lot
of situations. If we dont turn the
ball over, Gary Grays name is
not even brought up.
Garyis goingtobefine. Hes a
senior. Hell bounce back. He
had a great game last year
against Michigan State, and hes
been really solid for us. So we
need Gary Gray to come up and
play good football this weekend
against Michigan State.
Notre Dame will be facing a
different type of quarterback but
another top-notch one in Kirk
Cousins, whoconnectedon23of
33 passes for 245 yards and two
TDS in MSUs 34-31 win in East
Lansing a year ago.
The Irish will have to tighten
up the defense or the fans at
Notre Dame Stadium will really
get restless after booing their
team when it trailed 16-0 at the
half against South Florida.
Notre Dame started 0-5 in
2007 under Charlie Weis and
was also0-3in2001withBobDa-
vie as coach. Another loss and
the Irishs chances of meeting
their preseason goal of making a
BCS bowl are pretty much
dashed.
Kelly said he planned no dras-
tic lineup changes and that
struggling punter Ben Turk
averaging just under 34 yards
per kick was the best option
the Irish have at this point.
The Irish lost backup tight
endMike Ragone, who will need
surgery on a torn ACL for the
second time in his career.
Known mostly for his blocking
ability, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound
senior has one catch for 10 yards
this season and 11 for his career
for 109 yards.

right direction.

Michigan State
at
Notre Dame
3:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN
COLUMBUS, Ohio Just in
time for their first road game of
the season, No. 17OhioState got
some good news for a change.
The NCAA reinstated three
Buckeyes players on Tuesday
who were suspended for taking
envelopes with $200 cash froma
university booster at a charity
event earlier this year.
Tailback Jordan Hall and cor-
nerback Travis Howard, tabbed
as starters for the Buckeyes in
the preseason, along with back-
up safety Corey Pittsburgh
Brown, were suspended two
games for violating NCAA rules
by taking the improper benefits
at an event in suburban Cleve-
land in February.
Ohio State (2-0) is girding up
to play at Miami on Saturday.
Its always good, because
these are all your brothers, line-
backer Etienne Sabino said soon
after the news spread of the rein-
statements. These guys you go
to camp with, we work out all
year long, we hang out off the
field. Youre happy for them and
youre happy theyre going to be
out there with you. Its exciting.
The NCAAs only additional
stipulation was that the players
pay $200 to another charity.
The university appreciates
the NCAAs expeditious re-
sponse in reinstating these three
student-athletes, Ohio State
athletic director Gene Smith
said in a statement.
The three were suspended
just two days before the opener
against Akron. Last week, inter-
im coach Luke Fickell said they
would be permitted to play in
Ohio States second game
against Toledo, but the NCAA
on Friday afternoon said it still
was looking into the case.
The NCAA confirmed on
Monday that it sent questions to
Ohio State concerning the three
players.
Earlier on Tuesday, Fickell
said his teamwas in limbo when
it came to the status of the three
players.
Right now were just ... wait-
ing. Were not going to make any
jumps to conclusions, Fickell
said. Well wait and see and
hopefully well hear something
soon.
The reinstatement of the
three players adds much-needed
depth to the Buckeyes.

NEW YORK Novak Djokov-
ic wants more.
More of everything, on the ten-
nis court and off.
Hes ranked No. 1and is 64-2 in
2011, and sees room for improve-
ment.
He won three of the four Grand
Slamtitles this year at theAus-
tralian Open, Wimbledon and
U.S. Open and is talking about
adding to his collection.
There is a lot more to prove, a
lot more tournaments to win,
Djokovic told reporters at the
Empire State Building on Tues-
day, a day after he beat Rafael Na-
dal in the final at Flushing Mead-
ows.
And then theres this: Djokovic
gained plenty of attention for his
spot-on impersonations of other
players (Nadal, Andy Roddick
and Maria Sharapova, among
others), andnowhe wants to pur-
sue acting.
Really, Novak? An actor?
Yeah. Why not? I might do
something if I have time soon.
And I would like to. I just think
show business is something that
attracts me, that I really like
watching, that I like being a part
of. Its part of my personality,
Djokovic said after making the
rounds to various morning talk
shows with a couple of days
worth of stubble on his face and
the benefit of about three hours
worth of sleep.
The 24-year-old from Serbia
didnt provide details or indicate
whether hed like to wind up on
TV or in a movie; he did say he
already has a couple of offers to
consider.
This the way I see things off
the court. ... If I embrace them, if I
accept them as something that
can give me energy, that can
make me happy, thenit all goes in
a positive direction, Djokovic
said. Or vice versa: You can say,
Oh, look this is taking my atten-
tion off tennis. This is negative.
It just depends the way you look
at it, and I try always to look at it
in a positive way.
Just in case anyone might won-
der how focused Djokovic is on
his future as a thespian, he was
sure to note: I will not interfere
that with my professional life.
The guy is doing pretty well at
his day job, putting together
what seven-time major champion
John McEnroe called the great-
est year in the history of our
sport, theres no doubt about it.
McEnroe, by the way, went
82-3 in 1984.
As impressive as Djokovics
overall record is, whats even
more indicative of exactly how
well hes playing is that he is 10-1
against Nadal and Roger Federer
this season.
He overcame a two-set deficit,
then two match points at 5-3, 40-
15 in the fifth, to eliminate Feder-
er in the U.S. Open semifinals
Saturday, before dominating Na-
dal for most of the 4 hours, 10
minutes it took to complete their
riveting 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 final.
Its only the second time some-
one beat Federer andNadal at the
same Grand Slam tournament.
Against Nadal, Djokovic was
treatedby a trainer after the third
set and twice more during the
fourth for pain in a muscle be-
tween his ribs, an aching back
and leg cramps.
To be honest, there was
doubts in my mind after the third
set, he said Tuesday, because
physically I wasnt there. I wasnt
fresh.
His serve speeds dropped from
around 120 mph to the 90s
quite weak, Djokovic called it
during the fourth set, which
actually might have thrown off
Nadal.
I guess he was a little con-
fused as well thats what I felt
on his return games because
he was expectingthe ball tocome
faster, Djokovic explained.
He improved to 6-0 against Na-
dal this year, all in tournament fi-
nals, and on three different sur-
faces: hard courts, clay and grass.
Djokovic saidthose victories give
him a psychological advantage
against a player who preceded
him atop the rankings and has 10
Grand Slam titles of his own.
Djokovic is thesixthmaninthe
44-year Openera towinthree ma-
jor titles in a single season. Nadal
did it in 2010; Federer in 2004,
2006 and 2007.
T E N N I S
Djokovic has some big plans
Open winner says he would
like to take a stab at acting
and win more tournaments.

Business inventories
The Commerce Department
reports on how much compa-
nies added to their inventories
during July. The number is
significant for several reasons.
It shows how optimistic busi-
nesses are about the future. It
also is an indicator of demand,
and in turn, how much sales
growth were likely to see from
factories, retailers and whole-
salers in the coming months.
Inventories rose in June, but at
the slowest rate in a year.
Modest inflation?
The Labor Departments
report on inflation at the
wholesale level is expected to
show that companies paid
less last month for raw materi-
als and goods. Prices for oil,
gasoline and other commodi-
ties have been falling, and
economists expect that trend
to stop the surge in inflation
that we saw during the spring
when commodities were still
rising on expectations of a
stronger economy.
Shopped while the market dropped?
Many of the nations big retailers have said August was a good month for
them although consumers were worrying about the economy and the falling
stock market. Todays report from the Commerce Department will give a
broader assessment of consumer spending last month, because it includes
spending at supermarkets and auto dealerships. Economists expect a
modest increase but any increase may be good news.

Shares gain for second day
General Electric Co. and other indus-
trial companies pushed stocks higher
after another choppy session Tuesday,
the second day of gains in a row.
It was the first back-to-back gain
since the last week of August and only
the third time the market has closed
higher this month. On the five days the
market closed lower in September, the
Dow Jones industrial average lost be-
tween 100 and 303 points.
The Dow traded in a range of just
153 points, the narrowest since July 26,
less than half the average daily range
during August.
A weak reading of business senti-
ment kept the markets gains in check.
An index of small business conditions
from the National Federation of Inde-
pendent Business dropped to a 13-
month low in August.
Auto union deal unlikely
The United Auto Workers and De-
troits three car companies are likely to
miss a Wednesday night deadline to
agree on new contracts, three people
briefed on the bargaining said Tuesday.
There are many issues to settle, most
involving pay, before the current four-
year contracts expire at 11:59 p.m.
Wednesday, said the people, who asked
not to be identified because the talks
are private.
Bargainers with Ford Motor Co. and
the union agreed Tuesday to keep
talking indefinitely after the deadline
passes, and workers will stay on the
job. Talks at General Motors Co. and
Chrysler Group LLC also are expected
to go on after the contracts expire,
which is normal procedure in bargain-
ing with the UAW.
Block drops tax loans
H&R Block Inc. said Tuesday that it
wont offer refund anticipation loans
next tax season because its getting
more new clients and the appeal of the
high-cost loans is shrinking.
H&R Block prepared 6.5 percent
more tax returns this year, even though
it lost its bank funding for making
loans based on anticipated federal tax
returns just before tax season.

WASHINGTON Employers hir-
ing plans for the fourth quarter are rel-
atively stable slightly down from
the third quarter, but a tick higher than
in the prior year, according to the Man-
power Employment Outlook survey re-
leased Tuesday.
Aseasonallyadjustednet 7percent of
employers said they plan to add to their
workforce in the fourth quarter, com-
pared with 8 percent in the third quar-
ter, and 6 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2010. Whenthe job market is healthy,
the net level is in the mid-20s. Most
firms expect nochange intheir staff lev-
els.
We are kind of hovering. Our num-
bers have been in positive territory, but
theyve been in the single digits, and
thats reflective of the uncertain eco-
nomic environment, said Melanie
Holmes, a vice president at Manpower,
a Milwaukee-headquartered staffing
company.
The Manpower survey measures the
percentage of firms planning to hire mi-
nus the percentage of those intending
layoffs. Manpower doesnt measure the
number of jobs.
The U.S. Labor Department recently
estimatedthat nonfarmpayroll employ-
ment was unchanged in August, with
private employment up a weak 17,000
that was offset by a decline in govern-
ment payrolls. Net private employment
growth has been positive since March
2010, while government jobs have de-
clined almost every month since June
2010.
On a not-seasonally-adjusted basis,
the net portion of employers who said
they plan to increase their workforce in
the fourth quarter was 5 percent 16
percent planned to increase, 11 percent
planned to decrease, 70 percent expect-
ed no change, and 3 percent didnt
know. In the third quarter, a non-sea-
sonally adjusted net 12 percent planned
anincrease, comparedwith4 percent in
the fourth quarter of 2010.
Looking at the Manpower survey by
industry, 11 of 13 industries showed a
net positive employment outlook for
the fourth quarter. However, for 12 of 13
industries, the level was down fromthe
third quarter.
Jobs outlook weak, but stable
4th quarter hiring plans lower than
3rd quarter but better than for 2010.

MINNEAPOLIS Missoni
madness swept store shelves and
crashedTargets website Tuesday
as the retailer launched its latest
designer partnership. Missoni for
Target includes everything from
cardigans and ballet flats to
sheets and luggage from the Ital-
ian fashion house known for its
bold zig-zag and geometric de-
signs.
And it was gone before you
could say Whats Missoni?
Fashionistas hauled away the
high-style goods in carts as soon
as store doors opened at stores at
8 a.m., and orders jammed and
crashed the companys website,
which was down for three hours
Tuesday morning. Target issued
this statement mid-morning,
shortly before programmers got
the website back up, although
with limited access:
Due to an overwhelming
amount of traffic to Target.com
as a result of the Missoni launch
this morning, guests are unable
to access the site. Providing a
positive shopping experience to
our guests is important to us and
we are working to get the site
back up as soon as possible. We
apologize for the inconvenience.
The line at the Edina, Minn.,
SuperTarget started shortly be-
fore the doors opened at 8 a.m.,
said Haley Sando, executive
team leader at the store.
I think we were a little bit
blown away, Sando said. I just
dont think we were prepared for
howfast things weregoingtogo.
The hottest items: clothing and
accessories, followed by towels
and bedding. By 9:30 a.m., her
store was wiped out, Sando
said. People were shopping
right off the flats (as) we were
bringing it out. The shopping
was congenial, she said, but it left
a lot of people frustrated.
I heardone guest saying to an-
other guest that she should load
up her cart because she could sell
it for twice as much.
Frustrated shoppers flocked to
Twitter and Target Styles Face-
bookpagetocomplainabout peo-
ple grabbing the merchandise
and reselling it on eBay.

NEW YORK Dont ex-
pect much elbow room on
flights this fall.
Planes have never been so
full. There was barely a spare
seat this summer, and the
next few months should be
the same. To the list of things
airlines have taken away
hot meals, blankets, head-
phones you can add per-
sonal space.
For airlines and the people
who invest in them, it makes
sense. Because of consolida-
tion, partnerships and a push
to eliminate unprofitable
routes, airlines can adjust
schedules to match demand
and charge more.
But customer comfort is an
afterthought. Not to mention
space in the overhead bin.
There are some days on
some flights when there are
simply no physical seats left,
says Jim Reichart, vice presi-
dent of marketing and sales
for Frontier, which sold 91
percent of its seats in July and
August. Frontier and US Air-
ways both had their best Au-
gust for percentage of seats
filled.
The figures shouldnt come
as a surprise to anyone who
fought over an armrest this
summer. With 130 million
people flying, little perks like
empty middle seats or flying
standby were hard to come
by.
Airline executives used to
add flights and routes to pro-
tect market share. This often
meant there were more seats
than travelers.
In the past we had the
problem of people operating
airlines based on ego, says
airline consultant Michael
Boyd. Nowtheyre operating
on the basis on how much
money they can make.
Overall, 86.4 percent of
seats were filled by paying
customers inJulyandAugust,
according to an Associated
Press analysis. That edges
last summers record of 86.3
percent.

FRANKFURT The worlds carmak-
ers showed off the next generation of
cleaner, smaller, and higher-mileage ve-
hicles at the Frankfurt auto show Tues-
day, but all the thumping sounds sys-
tems, slick videos and glossy concept
cars could not obscure the anxiety about
Europes financial crisis.
The industrys fortunes have largely
turnedaroundsincearecessionemerged
from the 2007-2009 financial crisis. But
many insiders are keeping close watch
on fallout from Europes debt crisis and
worries about the U.S. economy and
hoping political leaders quickly grasp so-
lutions.
Some executives urged a firmer re-
sponse from Europe. Fiat and Chrysler
CEO Sergio Marchionne called on Ger-
man Chancellor Angela Merkel, who
opens the show to the public Thursday,
to step up.
I think she needs to be part of a per-
manent solution to this problem, Mar-
chionne told The Associated Press on
the sidelines of a Fiat presentation, refer-
ring to the leader of the European
Unions largest economy. She needs to
force a fundamental change in the sys-
tem.
Fears of possible government debt de-
faults are threatening to engulf Fiats key
market of Italy and are sapping buyers
confidence. Auto sales there are forecast
at around1.8 millionthis year, the lowest
level since 1983.
This years 64th International Motor
Show in Frankfurt is nevertheless more
cheerful than its 2009 predecessor,
which took place during the recession.
Organizers say 1,007 exhibitors have
signed up up from 781 last time. Ger-
man car makers like BMW, Daimler,
Volkswagen and Porsche have put up
strong profits, thanks in part to sales in
fast-growing emerging markets that for
now have made up for weaker growth at
home in Europe.

stocks this year. Bank of America is
down 47 percent. Goldman Sachs
is down 38 percent. JPMorgan
Chase is down 23 percent. Thats
far worse than the 7 percent drop in
the S&P 500.
Time to buy? For the most part,
financial analysts say no.
Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz
cut his 2012 and 2013 earnings
estimates for Bank of America,
JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley
and others. He cited the weak
economy and uncertainty about
new regulations the banks face.
Banks are still dealing with the
aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis
whether theyre big commercial
banks or boutique investment firms
like Greenhill. Regulators filed law-
suits against 17 banks this month
over mortgage-backed securities.
Bank of America, hit hard by bad
mortgages, says it will lay off 30,000
workers in the coming years.
Banks look tempting because
theyre cheap. Theyre trading at
8.5 times what theyre expected to
earn per share in the next 12
months. That number, known as
the forward price-to-earnings ratio,
has historically averaged 12.4. The
S&P 500s P/E is 10.8.
Analysts do like JPMorgan
Chase for its strong balance
sheet. Stifel Nicolaus called it a
buy on Tuesday. And its
Horowitzs top pick.

A weak cold
front passed
through early
this morning,
however, today
will be another
relatively warm
day for this time
of the year
under a mix of
clouds and sun
and no rain. But
be advised that
there is a drastic
change in tem-
perature coming
starting
Thursday. A
stronger cold
front will plow
through town at
dawn Thursday.
As northerly
winds behind the
front usher in
colder tempera-
tures during the
day, skies will
remain cloudy
along with a
small amount of
rain. Skies will
clear Thursday
evening as tem-
peratures quick-
ly drop into the
40s. Brrrr!
Gorgeous fall-
like weather will
then last
through the
weekend.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected with a pair of cold
fronts, especially over the nations midsection. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely
across the Southwest into the Rockies. A few scattered thunderstorms will be possible over the
mountains of California.

can at least celebrate the fact that its
football season.
Fall brings us to our couches most
any day of the week to celebrate our
teams victory or groan about its de-
feat.
Fall also brings along many good
flavors: pecans and apples, cinnamon
and cranberries.
Those dead leaves falling from
neighbors trees into your yard.
Rest easy, friends. This recipe is
simple and can be prepped before the
game and put in the oven with about
five minutes left in the second quarter
and then consumed at half-time.
CORNBREAD AND
SAUSAGE
STUFFED CHICKEN
4 chicken breasts, 8 to 10 ounces each,
preferably with skin on, pounded thin
About 2 cups cornbread
1 pound ground sausage
1
2 cup crushed pecans
1
4 cup dried cranberries
1
4 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chicken stock to moisten
4 pats of butter
The sausage you choose is up to
you. Sweet will work best. If you cant
find loose ground sausage, buy one in
the casing and cut the casing off. Start
by heating a pan and cook the sausage
in small chunks over low to medium
heat in a saut pan with a tiny bit of
oil.
Once the sausage is cooked, add the
onion and cook 3-4 additional min-
utes. Put onion and sausage mixture
into a large bowl to cool. Add pecans,
cranberries, cinnamon, honey, vanilla
and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
For the cornbread, Im going to use
two large muffins, but use enough to
give you a yield of about 2 cups. Rip
them into small pieces, as you would
for any stuffing. Add them to the
mixture and moisten the stuffing with
some chicken broth, little by little.
The consistency should be damp. If
it gets too mushy, add some bread-
crumbs.
Take the breasts and butterfly them.
They will also benefit from pounding
them with a meat tenderizer. Just a
couple of taps to even the meat out;
dont go overboard on the tenderizing.
Season breasts with salt and pepper.
Divide the stuffing amongst the chick-
en breasts. Roll them starting with the
thinner side of the chicken.
Place the stuffed chickens with the
seam down on a sheet pan. Season
chicken with more salt and pepper
and place a pat of butter on top of
each. Cook in oven at 375 degrees for
15-20 minutes or until internal tem-
perature reaches 160 to 165 degrees.
Let rest for 5-10 minutes before con-
suming. Pair with a fresh vegetable
and rice for an easy and gourmet
game day meal.
Lets go, Hawks, Nittany Lions and
Bears!

Winning recipe
welcomes us to
football season
An omelet for supper is a
perfect end-of-week meal
when the refrigerator is bare.
All you need are a few eggs
and some leftovers.
And though puffy French
omelets are impressive, and
those incredible breakfast
hulks served in this country
are awesome, I prefer a less
ostentatious Spanish om-
elet.
Even though its called a
Spanish tortilla, theres little
resemblance to Mexicos flat-
breads.
Rather, its a cousin of the
Italian frittata.
Made with potatoes, eggs
and onions, its an integral part
of most tapas menus.
When preparing it as a main
course, amp it up by adding
spinach, chopped mushrooms,
grilled red pepper strips, diced
ham or cooked sausage slices.
Serve with a fresh, uncooked
tomato sauce.
Chopped tomatoes, olive oil,
garlic and fresh basil, a mix
thats allowed to mellow be-
fore serving, is a favorite.
Fill out the meal with a
peppery arugula salad and a
glass of albarino, a crisp white
Spanish wine.

T
he kaleidoscope of tomatoes and
peppers now in season offers an al-
most unlimited color palette for
making salsa. And on the flavor side, the
huge range of heirloom and standard toma-
toes lets you go from expected to subtle to
sweeter, with all kinds of tart or acidic or
fruity notes to be found. Peppers range from
all fruit and no heat in simple bell peppers to
the incendiary habanero.
(Theres an even hotter pepper, the
Bhut Jolokia, which is also known as a
ghost because that sounds so much
better than this might kill you if you
eat it. Use it at your own risk.)
The recipes provided here illustrate
a variety of styles of uncooked salsas.
Use them as is, or do a little experi-
menting by swapping out tomatoes,
peppers or other ingredients to
achieve different looks or flavors.
And if youre feeling really creative,
use our brief list of suggestions for
making your own salsa from the
ground up.
Invent your own recipe
When developing a salsa recipe, try
to achieve balance among these ele-
ments:
Color: The huge variety of heirloom
tomatoes and peppers now available
provides a nearly unlimited palette.
Heat: Check the table to see where
chiles rank on the Scoville scale,
which measures heat. You also can
add heat with hot sauces or ground
spices. For chile flavor without much
heat, use ground spice mixes.
