KINGSTON – Authorities allege a Lu-
zerne man purchased alcohol that was
consumedby juveniles andadults at a lake
house partyinJulythat endedinthe vehic-
ular homicide of a 16-year-old Wright
Township boy.
Fairview Township police cited Ken-
neth John Rushinski, 21, of Charles Street,
with buying a12-pack of beer, a six-pack of
Four Loko and a six-pack of twisted tea for
three women on July 17.
Rushinski allegedly purchased the alco-
hol at the Convenient Food Mart on Main
Street in Luzerne.
Luzerne County detectives and town-
ship police allege Lauren Fredmund, 18, of
FairviewTownship, andJill M. Klecha, 20,
and Sarah Galante, 18, both from King-
ston, arranged to buy the alcohol through
Rushinski for a party held at a house at
Fountain Lake on Lake Road in Fairview
Township, according to charges filed.
Authorities allege the alcohol was con-
sumed by at least six juveniles, including
Adam Fredmund, 16, of Loop Road, Fair-
view Township, at the lake house. After
the party, Adam Fredmund was allegedly
speeding in a 2004 Kia Optima, which
crashed on Lake Road. Brian Christopher
Madry, 16, a passenger in the car, was
killed.
An autopsy determined Madry, of
Wright Township, died of multiple trau-
matic injuries.
Authorities last week charged Adam
Fredmund in Luzerne County Juvenile
Court with two counts of accidents involv-
ing death, and a single count of homicide
by vehicle, all felonies, and summary
counts of reckless driving, underage

Exhausted residents, contrac-
tors and utility workers attacked
the wreckage of Tropical Storm
Irene on Monday with chain-
saws, rakes and pumps.
“I’m very tired,” said Kingston
Township mother of four Lori
Rollman as she picked up rem-
nants of a neighbor’s roughly150-
year-old oak tree that had
crashed onto her Vine Street
property Sunday morning.
The tree, removed Monday
morning, took out much of Roll-
man’s backyard fence, the ripen-
ing vegetables she was just get-
tingreadytopickandthecover of
her inground pool, damaging the
lining.
She was grateful when power
was restored around 9 a.m. Mon-
day.
“When the power came back
on, we started jumping up and
down,” Rollman said.
The scene in Kingston Town-
ship was repeated throughout
the region Monday after a pound-
ing from Irene, with intense
winds and heavy rain that left
flooding, thousands without
electricity and damaged homes
and properties. The storm also
claimed the life of a Wilkes-Barre

MONTPELIER, Vt. — The
full measure of Hurricane Irene’s
fury came into focus Monday as
the death toll jumped to 40, New
England towns battled epic
floods and millions faced the dis-
piriting prospect of several days
without electricity.
From North Carolina to
Maine, communities cleaned up
andtook stock of the unevenand
hard-to-predict costs of a storm
that spared the nation’s biggest
city a nightmare scenario, only
to deliver a historic wallop to
towns well inland.
In New York City, where peo-
ple had braced for a disaster-mo-
vie scene of water swirling
aroundskyscrapers, the subways
and buses were up and running
again in time for the Monday
morning commute. And to the
surprise of many New Yorkers,
things went pretty smoothly.
But in New England, land-
locked Vermont contended with
what its governor called the
worst flooding in a century.
Streams alsoragedout of control
in upstate New York.
In many cases, the moment of
maximum danger arrived well
after the storm had passed, as
rainwater made its way into riv-
ers andstreams andturnedthem
into torrents. Irene dumped up
to 11 inches of rain on Vermont
and more than13 in parts of New

NEW YORK — Utility crews
are scrambling to restore power
after Hurricane Irene swept
across the East Coast this week-
end, leaving 7.4 million homes
and businesses without electric-
ity. It may be a week or more
before some people get their
power back.
Repair crews struggled Mon-
day with uprooted trees, broken
bridges and flood waters as they
made repairs. Irene smashed
power poles, ripped transmis-
sion wires and flooded electrical
stations over thousands of
square miles as it whipped
north from South Carolina to
Maine. Nearly 5 million power
customers were still without
power as of late Monday night.

LARKSVILLE – A borough
couple received some of the best
news of their lives on Monday as
a result of their recent purchase
of a “quick pick” Cash 5 ticket
worth $1.1 million.
The ticket was purchased at
the UniMart Convenient
Mart,175 E. State St., Larksville.
A copy of the ticket posted in the
front of the store revealed that
those lucky numbers were 03-17-
25-34-38.
It not the first time that area
residents struck lottery gold on
State Street. In October 2006, 40
employees of nearby State Street
Elementary School won
$400,000 in a Powerball drawing,
resulting in each participant in
the pool receiving approximately
$10,000.
In the recent lottery win, the
couple brought the ticket intothe
store on Saturday, shortly after
realizing that the numbers on
their ticket matchedthe numbers
announced by lottery officials.
Today their good fortune was
confirmed when lottery officials
visited the store and validated
the ticket.
“They were very surprised and
excited,” said employee Mary
Nulton, indicating that the cou-
ple bought a ticket at the store “at
least every other day.”
Nultonsaidthe ticket hadbeen
sold by employee Liz Dorris, and
that all store employees were ex-
cited that the couple had won
such a large amount and that the
store had sold it.
“We haven’t had so much activ-
ity and excitement around here
for a while,” said Nulton.
The store will receive $10,000
as a bonus for selling the winning
ticket.
Customers visiting the store
were unanimous in their positive
feelings about area residents win-
ning the jackpot. Many of them
were motivated to buy various
types of lottery tickets, believing
that it was indeed possible to
win.
“I think the lottery owes me
money,” said resident Ralph
Castner, referring to the fact that
he plays frequently and wins only
occasionally.
“I’mgoing to keep playing any-
way,” said Castner, smiling, cash
inhand, waiting to purchase a po-
tentially lucky ticket. “You never
know.”
“I’m very happy for the cou-
ple,” said resident Rosemary
Meininger, even though her part
of the borough hasn’t had power
since early Sunday morning.
Meininger said such good news
“puts things in a better perspec-
tive.”
Customer Elaine Tabit said
that although she doesn’t play
the lottery, she was “thrilled for
the lucky local couple.”
The win has seemingly not on-
ly financially enriched the couple
who will receive $1,141,372.50
before federal taxes, but also lift-
ed the spirit of members of the
community in which it was sold.
Although the couple have yet
to be identified, it is anticipated
that their names will be released
later this week.
Cash 5 is a daily game of the
Pennsylvania Lottery. Proceeds
of the game benefit senior citi-
zens.

PLAINS TWP. -- The Mohegan
Sun at Pocono Downs wrapped
up its third summer of concerts
Monday evening with a mostly
winning performance by old-
school entertainer Tony Orlando.
Orlando, who had his first hits
as a16-year-oldin1961androse to
international stardom in the
1970s as the lead singer of Tony
Orlando & Dawn, seemed in a
hurry totake the stage Monday as
hestrolledout inthemiddleof his
introduction, took the micro-
phone and did an impromptu a
cappella rendition of “Goodbye,
Irene” (bidding good riddance to
the hurricane).
The singer and his six-piece
band then launched into Sam
Cooke’s “Havin’ a Party,” which
was a great way to get the party
started.
Somewhat surprisingly, Orlan-
do then did all of his group’s big-
gest hits – “Tie a Yellow Ribbon
Round the Old Oak Tree,” “Say,
Has Anybody Seen My Sweet
Gypsy Rose,” “He Don’t Love You
(Like I Love You)” and a medley
of “Candida” and “Knock Three
Times” – one right after another,
seemingly before the audience
could get comfortable in its seats.
With all the big hits out of the
way, Orlando then spent the bulk
of the evening doing cover ver-
sions of hits of the 1950s and
1960s, including two by Ben E.
King(andanother Kingsanglead
on by the Drifters) and six (yes,
six!) by The Beatles.
It was a bit disappointing that
he raced through his own hits so
quickly -- andlet his backing band
do lead vocals on about five num-
bers, includingaweird, totallyun-
expected cover of Led Zeppelin’s
“Whole Lotta Love” – but overall,
it was the kind of performance
you would expect at a casino. Or-
lando, the now 67-year-old long-
timeveteranof theLas Vegas casi-
no circuit, made the racetrack in
Plains Township feel like the
showroom at the Sahara, circa
1975.
After 50 years, Orlando is still
working with Toni Wine, the tal-
ented singer and songwriter who
wrote “Candida” and sang back-
up on the hit version of “Knock
ThreeTimes” (beforeTelmaHop-
kins and Joyce Vincent became
the permanent Dawn), and he
spotlighted her talent to good ef-
fect on Monday. She sang a beau-
tiful versionof CaroleKing’s “Will
You Love Me Tomorrow,” with
Orlando chipping in some great
harmony vocals, and a bit of the
Archies’ bubblegum classic “Sug-
ar, Sugar” (Ms. Wine also sup-
plied the voices of Veronica and
Betty on the cartoon).
Orlando did a nice rendition of
another song written by King –
his first hit, “Halfway To Paradi-
se,” which peaked at No. 39 in
1961, nearly a decade before Or-
lando hit the jackpot with his
Dawn tunes. He then did a nice
tribute torecentlydeceasedsong-
writer Jerry Leiber, who wrote
many rock ’n’ roll classics with
Mike Stoller, including “Spanish
Harlem” and “Stand By Me.”
Orlando brought the house
downwitha nice renditionof Neil
Diamond’s “America” as a tribute
to our nation’s troops and veter-
ans before finishing up with half a
dozentunes made famous by The
Beatles, including a medley of
“Let It Be” and “Hey Jude” and a
very fine version of “Something.”
Orlando fine if a bit hit or miss
‘Yellow Ribbon’ singer rushes
through his best-known songs
at beginning of the concert.

The Maslow Family Foundation
Inc. was established in 1994 by Ri-
chard Maslow and his family to serve

meet the needs of the Wyoming
Valley community.
The foundation’s focus is to sup-
port the arts, special-needs children
and social programs for the purpose
of improving quality of life, especial-
ly for the less fortunate.
“The foundation has done so much
for so many over the years and we
are grateful. Our naming them as
this year’s honoree for our annual
meeting is just a small way in which
we can say thank you,” Zimmerman
said.
For further information on the
annual meeting, or to make a reser-
vation to attend, contact FSAWV at

SCRANTON
Man jailed for bank fraud
A Wyoming man was sentenced
Monday to five months in federal
prison by U.S. District Judge Edwin
Kosik for defrauding a number of
banks by opening up fraudulent
credit accounts.
John Kropp, 53, was also ordered
to pay $26,988 in restitution and to
serve two years of supervised release
upon his release from prison, with
the first five months spent on home
confinement.
Kropp pleaded guilty in July 2010
to one count of mail fraud. Federal
prosecutors said Kropp, while oper-
ating under the business name of
Horizon Landscaping, opened up
various credit card accounts in the
name of an unwitting employee of
Horizon.
To effectuate the scheme, Kropp
forged the employee’s signature on
the applications and used the em-
ployee’s personal identifiers such as
date of birth and Social Security
number.
WILKES-BARRE
Restaurant gets sued
A lawsuit was filed Monday
against a local restaurant and its
owner after the restaurant allegedly
defaulted on paying for items sup-
plied to the Wilkes-Barre Township
business.
Reinhart Foodservice LLC filed a
lawsuit in Luzerne County court
Monday against Porta Fino Inc., its
restaurant, and owner Anthony
Trombetta.
The suit alleges $26,377 worth of
goods was not paid for by the compa-
ny or Trombetta, and asks for the
money, as well as interest and costs
of the lawsuit. The suit did not detail
the items not paid for, and alleges
charges of breach of contract, unjust
enrichment and personal guaranty.
Trombetta had been drawn into
the ongoing public corruption probe
through his businesses, including
Terra Firma.
That business allegedly received
assistance through the county’s Tax

WILKES-BARRE–Thefirst 50sleeping
bags handmade by volunteers were deliv-
ered Monday to the Wyoming Valley Res-
cue Mission.
Carla Garrigan, a project coordinator,
said the goal is to make 150 more, but she
said that if enough materials are donated
andtheneedis there, volunteers will make
more than the original goal of 200 bags.
“We made 50 bags inone month,” Garri-
gan said. “It’s nice to have this many ready
so soon. We intend to keep making them.”
The project is called “The Sleeping Bag
Project” and is rooted in the “Ugly Quilts”
effort, named because the blankets are
made from recycled bed linens, blankets
and other items.
Steve and Gail Perillo, of Making a Dif-
ference Ministry in Wilkes-Barre, have
teamed with Carla and Michael Garrigan
of New Life Community Church to head
the committee chargedwithfinding mate-
rials, making the sleeping bags and identi-
fying volunteers to help. The Perillos and
Garrigans are coordinating the project
with Rick Rutter, supervisor of ministries
at the Wyoming Valley Rescue Mission.

A Wilkes-Barre teen was found
deadSaturdayalongaNewJersey
beach, according to police.
The body of Erick McDonald,
17, a GAR student and Wilkes-
Barre resident, was found in the
Cliffwood
Beach section
of Old Bridge
Township early
Saturday morn-
ing.
“A female
found himfloat-
ing inthe water,
and we were
dispatchedthere,” Lt. Paul Moser
of the Old Bridge Township po-
lice department said Monday.
“He was taken to a local hospital
and pronounced (dead) at 7:29
a.m.”
McDonald’s uncle, Thomas
McDonaldof Nanticoke, toldThe
Times Leader his nephew would
have been a senior at GAR High
School.
Times Leader archives indicate
McDonald was a wrestler for the
school’s team and had previously
been a fullback and linebacker for
the Grenadier football team.
Moser said no autopsy has yet
been set, but it will likely occur
withinthe next day or so to deter-
mine the cause of McDonald’s
death.
A New Jersey newspaper re-
ported police do not suspect
McDonald’s death to be suspi-
cious.
“There is a story there. What
was heupto? Whodidhemeet up
with? It’s a standard investiga-
tion,” Moser said.
Police said McDonald was re-
ported missing on Tuesday by his
mother, Doreen McDonald, and
that authorities searched for the
teen for a number of days.
Erick McDonald was found
early Saturday morning, several
hours before Hurricane Irene hit
the coastline.
Thomas McDonald, Erick’s un-
cle, said the teen had been down
inrecent weeks becausetheteen’s
father, Dennis McDonald, passed
away on July 19.
“He took it hard,” Thomas
McDonald said of the effect his
brother’s death had on his neph-
ew.
McDonaldsaidhis nephewhad
been in the custody of his grand-
mother, Catherine McDonald,
and had gone to live with his fa-
ther a month before his father’s
death.

OLD FORGE – Former U.S.
Sen. Rick Santorum met with
some old friends and support-
ers in Luzerne County on Mon-
day night to ask for their help in
his bid for the Republican nomi-
nation for president.
After spending some signifi-
cant time campaigning in states
with the earliest primary elec-
tions and a stop in Florida over
the weekend, the 12-term for-
mer senator fromPittsburgh re-
turned to Pennsylvania for a
meet-and-greet at the Arcara &
Genell restaurant and catering
hall.
“One of the things we wanted
to do was just to get back to
Pennsylvania and visit with
some old friends and let them
know what I’m up to,” Santo-
rum told the media before the
private reception began at 6
p.m.
Before he decided to run,
Santorum said, “It’s not like I
was having throngs of people
saying, ‘Rick, we need you to
run for president.’ It was one of
those things where I just felt I
was out there and involved in
the fray and felt
like I needed to
take on this chal-
lenge.”
Santorum said
he felt like he
needed to run for
president, but he
didn’t want to
seek support
from his former
constituents until he could
show he had a real shot at the
White House. He felt he got that
affirmation by placing fourth in
the straw poll in Ames, Iowa.
“We were outspent by the
three candidates who finished
above me; each spent in excess
of $1million. We spent less than
$100,000. At least two of the
three have had major national
news coverage, we did not,
which is worth even millions
more, andwe came withina few
hundredvotes of the top three. I
think that just speaks volumes
…,” Santorum said.

PLYMOUTH–Plans torepair or replace
the Coal Street Creek Bridge are moving
forward.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth
Township, said Monday the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation and the Lu-
zerne/Lackawanna Metropolitan Plan-
ning Organization still must meet to final-
ize the funding for the bridge work.
He saidthat approval couldcome within
the next two weeks. He said the recent
storm damage may delay the meeting.
The PennDOTfunding is expectedto be
around $300,000 and a local share of
$200,000 will be required, Yudichak said.
HesaidtheMPOdetermines howall feder-
al andstate highway/bridge funds are allo-

Yudichak said PennDOT and the MPO
are pursuing funding for construction of a
new bridge, while Luzerne County has
agreed to discuss releasing $200,000 in
Community Development Block Grant
fundingtocover thedesignanddemolition
portions of a bridge project.
“Since the serious flashflooding onCoal

Hershey protesters backed
A
group that organized a walkout by
some foreign students working at a
plant that serves the Hershey company
said the students have gathered more
than 63,000 signatures from support-
ers.
The National Guestworker Alliance
said Monday the students who pro-
tested working conditions and low
wages at a distribution center run by a
Hershey vendor earlier this month are
demanding a refund of fees they paid
to come to the U.S. on J-1 visas for
work and cultural experiences.
They also want the jobs they filled to
be given to local workers.
The alliance says the students
planned to deliver the petitions Mon-
day to the office of Leroy Zimmerman,
chairman of the Hershey Trust, which
controls the candy company.
ABUJA, NIGERIA
Soldiers police streets
After a series of bombings in Nige-
ria’s capital, bars popular with the
nation’s elite now close by 10 p.m.
Soldiers in flak jackets carrying assault
rifles guard the oil-rich country’s only
Hilton. And every day, nervous citizens
think twice about heading to market or
into the street.
Abuja, Nigeria’s modern city of
paved highways and shining govern-
ment buildings, now looks militarized
as the nation struggles to cope with the
bombings. The latest one, on Friday,
killed 23 people at the headquarters of
the United Nations.
Nigerians say they’re losing faith in
the ability of President Goodluck Jo-
nathan’s administration to stop the
killings, especially those committed by
the radical Muslim sect that claimed
responsibility for the U.N. attack.

Yellowstone bear kills man
Wildlife agents were trying to cap-
ture a grizzly bear in Yellowstone Na-
tional Park after it killed a Michigan
hiker in the second fatal bear attack
this summer in the famed park, author-
ities said Monday.
The body of John Wallace, 59, was
discovered Friday along a trail in an
area of the park known for its high
population of bears. An autopsy con-
cluded he died from injuries sustained
in a bear attack.
Rangers set traps and plan to kill the
bear if they can establish through DNA
analysis that it was the one that at-
tacked Wallace, a park official said.
SANAA, YEMEN
36 killed in fighting
A new round of fierce fighting in
southern Yemen killed 10 soldiers and
26 militants, military officials said
Monday, the latest battle in a govern-
ment campaign to retake territory from
al-Qaida-linked fighters, .
Another 38 militants and about 30
soldiers were wounded in the clashes
that took place near the city of Dufas in
the southern province of Abyan, they
said.
The officials, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity in line with military
regulations, said the fighting took
place over the past 24 hours. Among
the military dead was a colonel.
The U.S. and other Western powers
have looked on with concern as al-
Qaida gains a strong foothold in south-
ern Yemen.
The U.S. considers the Yemen spur
of al-Qaida as one of the most active in
worldwide terror.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Moam-
mar Gadhafi’s wife and three of
his childrenfledLibya to neigh-
boringAlgeria onMonday, firm
evidence the longtime leader
has lost his grip on the country.
Gadhafi’s whereabouts were
still unknown and rebels are
worried that if he remains in Li-
bya, it will stoke more violence.
In Washington, the Obama ad-
ministration said it has no indi-
cation Gadhafi has left the
country.
Rebels also said one of Gad-
hafi’s other sons, elite military
commander Khamis, was prob-
ably killed in battle.
The Algerian Foreign Minis-
try said in a statement that
Gadhafi’s wife, Safia, his sons
Hannibal and Mohammed, and
his daughter, Aisha, entered
the country across the landbor-
der. It said Algerian authorities
have informed the United Na-
tions Secretary General, the
president of the U.N. Security
Council, and the head of the Li-
byan rebels transitional leader-
ship council.
AhmedJibril, anaide to rebel
National Transitional Council
head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said
officials would “demand that
Algerianauthorities handthem
over to Libya to be tried before
Libyan courts.”
Gadhafi’s children played im-
portant roles in Libya’s military
and economic life. Hannibal
headed the maritime transport
company; Mohammed the na-
tional Olympic committee.
Aisha, a lawyer, helped in the
defense of toppled Iraqi dicta-
tor SaddamHussein in the trial
that led to his hanging.
Ahmed Bani, military
spokesman of the council, said
he was not surprisedto hear Al-
geria had welcomed Gadhafi’s
relatives. Throughout the six-
month Libyan uprising, rebels
have accused Algeria of provid-
ing Gadhafi with mercenaries
to repress the revolt.
Over the weekend, the Egyp-
tian news agency MENA, quot-
ing unidentified rebel fighters,
had reported that six armored
Mercedes sedans, possibly car-
rying Gadhafi’s sons or other
top regime figures, had crossed
the border at the southwestern
Libyan town of Ghadamis into
Algeria. Algeria’s Foreign Min-
istry had denied that report.
Rebel military spokesman
Ahmed Bani said Monday that
rebel forces may have killed
Khamis Gadhafi on Saturday.

KABUL, Afghanistan—Direct
U.S. talks with the Taliban had
evolved to a substantive negotia-
tion before Afghan officials, nerv-
ous that the se-
cret and inde-
pendent talks
wouldundercut
President Ha-
mid Karzai,
scuttled them,
Afghan and
U.S. officials
told The Asso-
ciated Press.
Featured
prominently in
the talks was
the where-
abouts and
eventual release
of U.S. Army
Sgt. Bowe Berg-
dahl, who was captured more
than two years ago in eastern Af-
ghanistan, according to a senior
Western diplomat in the region
anda childhoodfriendof the Tali-
ban negotiator, Tayyab Aga.
The U.S. negotiators askedAga
what could be done to gain the
Idaho man’s release. The discus-
sion did not get into specifics but
Aga discussed the release of Af-
ghan prisoners at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba and in Afghanistan at
Bagram Air Field.
Published reports about the
clandestine meetings ended the
talks abruptly, and sent Aga into
hiding.
Collapse of the direct talks be-
tweenAga andU.S. officials prob-
ably spoiled the best chance yet
at reaching Mullah Mohammed
Omar, considered the linchpin to
ending the Taliban fight against
the U.S.-backed government in
Afghanistan. The contacts were
preliminary but had begun to
bear fruit, Afghan and U.S. offi-
cials said.
Perhaps most important they
offered the tantalizing prospect
of a brokeredagreement between
the U.S. and the Taliban — one
that wouldallowthelarger recon-
ciliation of the Taliban into Af-
ghanistan political life to move
forward. The United States has
not committed to any such deal,
but the Talibanwants security as-
surances from Washington.
Sources told the AP that Aga is
hiding in Europe, and is afraid to
return to Pakistan, fearing repri-
sals.
The United States has had no
direct contact with him for
months.
The U.S. acknowledged the
meetings after Karzai confirmed
published accounts about them
in June.

MOSCOW — Russian news agencies
say the country’s space agency is delay-
ingboththe returnof astronauts fromthe
International Space Station and the
launch of the next mission to the orbiting
laboratory.
The announcements came after last
week’s failure of the launch of an un-
manned supply ship to the space station.
The Soyuz rocket sending it into space
failed after launch and crashed and ex-
ploded in a forested area of Siberia.
The news agencies RIANovosti, ITAR-
Tass and Interfax on Monday quoted the
head of Roscosmos’s manned space oper-
ations, Alexei Krasnov, as saying the re-
turn of three astronauts fromthe ISS was
being put off from Sept. 8 to about Sept.
16. He also said the next launch to the
space station, scheduled for Sept. 22,
would be delayed until the end of Octo-
ber or early November.
Roscosmos spokesman Igor Zatulin
said he could not immediately confirm
the reports.
Since the end of the U.S. space shuttle
program, Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft have
been the only vehicle to get crew to or
from the space station.
There are six crew members aboard
the space station. American Ronald Ga-
ran Jr. and Russians Andrey Borisenko
and Alexander Samokutyaev, who have
been in orbit since April, were to return
to Earth on Sept. 8.
The comments reported by the Rus-
sian agencies did not specify why the re-
turn mission was being put off. But they
quotedKrasnovas sayingthenext launch
would be delayed until one or two un-
manned firings could be conducted of
rockets of the type used to launch the
Soyuz space capsule.
Russians AntonShkaplerov andAnato-
ly Ivanishin and American Daniel Ber-
bank are the crew for the next launch.
The failure of the Progress cargo ship
launch was the fourth Russian spacecraft
lost in the past nine months.

HOUSTON — Imprisoned polygamist
leader WarrenJeffs is ina coma ina Texas
hospital after complications fromfasting.
A person familiar with Jeffs’ condition
told The Associated Press on Monday
that the 55-year-old prisoner’s coma was
medically induced and he’s expected to
survive. The person requested anonym-
ity because the person was not autho-
rized to discuss Jeff’s
condition publicly.
Jeffs’ attorney Emily
Detoto says her client
was taken to East Texas
Medical Center inTyler
on Sunday night.
Texas Department of
Criminal Justice spo-
keswoman Michelle Lyons says Jeffs
hasn’t been eating or drinking enough
since being sentenced this month to life
in prison for sexually assaulting under-
age followers. Lyons says Jeffs is in crit-
ical but stable condition. It’s not clear
how long he’ll be hospitalized.
Lyons saidJeffs toldguards he has fast-
ed in the time since his conviction earlier
this month, thoughit was not immediate-
ly clear how long he had gone without
food before being hospitalized.
During Jeffs’ trial, prosecutors used
DNA evidence to show he fathered a
child with a15-year-old and played an au-
dio recording of what they said was him
sexually assaulting a 12-year-old. Both
were among 24 underage wives who
prosecutors said Jeffs collected.
Court documents show Jeffs tried to
hang himself in January 2007 while
awaiting trial on rape charges in Wash-
ington County, Utah. He also threw him-
self against the walls of his cell and
banged his head.

wildlife habitat and maintain-
ing the aesthetic appeal of farm
areas.
There’s also a financial bene-
fit for municipalities.
“Researchhasshownthat it is
cheaper for municipalities to
service farmland than it is to
provide services for housing de-
velopments, thereby keeping
taxes lower,” Snee said.
Joe Gans said some of the
money fromthe preservation of
their farm will be used to im-
prove the property. The rest, he
added, will be set aside to pur-
chase more farmlandandenroll
that in the preservation pro-
gram as well.
The Gans have two more ap-
plications pending to preserve
more blocks of land.
“If you drive to Allentown or
Philadelphia, you’ll see a lot of
verygoodfarmgroundthat was
lost to housing developments,”
he said. “This programis an ex-
cellent way to preserve the his-
tory of an area. I’mproud to say
that wepreservedour farm, and
we hope to preserve more.”
Snee said there are 21 farms
onthe waitinglist andthe dead-
line to apply for the program is
Feb. 1, 2012.
Piece by piece, Joe and Pat
Gans havebeenrebuildingtheir
family’s Black Creek Township
farm.
Once a sprawling operation
covering approximately 800
acres, over the years the proper-
ty was divided among family
members and split from the
farm.
Thirty-five years ago the
Gans made their first purchase
– a house with a fewacres -- and
since then they have been ac-
quiring chunks of property and
slowly reassembling the main
farm.
“We’retryingtoput it backto-
gether,” Joe Gans said. “We’ve
beenfortunate tobe able topur-
chase the farms that we did.”
On Monday, the Gans’ effort
to rebuild the main farm re-
ceived a boost when they were
handed a check for a conserva-
tion easement on140 acres.
The Luzerne County Farm-
land Preservation Program pre-
serves active farms and pre-
vents themfrombeing used for
any purpose other than agricul-
ture and related activities. The
preservation is done through
the purchase of a conservation
easement for which the farmer
is compensated.
TheGansreceived$3,400per
acre for the conservation ease-
ment. With the preservation of
the crop farm, the Luzerne
County Farmland Preservation
Program has now preserved 23
farms, totaling approximately
2,400 acres.
In Black Creek Township
alone six farms have been pre-
served, encompassing 654
acres.
Pat Gans said the program is
helping to save the rural atmo-
sphere of their township and
other areas where farms have
been preserved.
“There are housing develop-
ments in our township, but
they’re on the other side of the
valley. Our side is strictlyfarms,
and that’s the way Black Creek
Townshipwasmeant tobe,” she
said.
Preserving farms that are
close to each other is in accord-
ance with a proposed land-use
planfor LuzerneandLackawan-
na counties, said program ad-
ministrator Nancy Snee.
By preserving farms that are
close together, Snee said, large
tracts of open space are main-
tained while development is fo-
cused in areas where infrastruc-
ture already exists.
The preservation programal-
so benefits communities, she
added, by protecting sources of
locally grown food, providing

McDonald said of the17-year-old.
“I took him to Scouts, Little
League … I needed him to know
there was people there for him.”
McDonald said he isn’t sure if
foul playis involvedinhis nephew
death, but that his passing would
be easier to accept if it was natu-
ral.
“If someonewas involvedinthe
accidental death or intentional
death of my nephew, there is no
secure place for them anywhere.
This kid was my life,” McDonald
said.
McDonald admitted he is an-
gry about his nephew’s passing,
but only because a good kid was
taken so early.
“If they cancome backandtake
me (in his place) they could. I
don’t know how I can survive
without him.”

“We were expecting heavy
rains,” said Bobbi-Jean Jeun of
Clarksville, a hamlet near Alba-
ny, N.Y. “We were expecting
flooding. We weren’t expecting
devastation. It looks like some-
body set a bomb off.”
Meanwhile, the 11-state death
toll, which had stood at 21 as of
Sunday night, rose sharply as
bodies were pulled fromfloodwa-
ters and people were electrocut-
ed by downed power lines.
The tally of Irene’s destruction
mounted, too. An apparently va-
cant home exploded in an evac-
uated, flooded area in Pompton
Lakes, N.J., early Monday, and
firefighters had to battle the
flames froma boat. Inthe Albany,
N.Y., suburb of Guilderland, po-
lice rescued two people Monday
after their car was swept away.
Rescuers found themthree hours
later, clinging to trees along the
swollen creek.
“It’s going to take time to re-
cover froma stormof this magni-
tude,” President Barack Obama
warned as he promised the gov-
ernment would do everything in
its power to help people get back
on their feet.
For many people, the after-
math could prove more painful
than the storm itself.
In North Carolina, where Irene
blew ashore along the Outer
Banks on Saturday before head-
ing for New York and New En-
gland, 1,000 people were still in
emergency shelters, awaiting
word on their homes.
At the same time, nearly 5 mil-
lion homes and businesses in a
dozen states were still without
electricity, and utilities warned it
might be a week or more before
some people got their power
back.
“Once the refrigerator gets
warm, my insulin goes bad. I
could go into diabetic shock. It’s
kind of scary because we don’t
know how long it’s going to be
out for,” said Patricia Dillon, a
partially paralyzed resident of a
home for the disabled in Milford,
Conn., where the electricity was
out and a generator failed. Her
voice cracking, she added: “I’m
very tired, stressed out, aggravat-
ed, scared.”
Russ Furlong of Barrington,
R.I., ruefully remembered the
two weeks he went without pow-
er after Hurricane Bob 20 years
ago.
“Hopefully, we won’t have to
wait that long this time,” he said.
Up and down the Eastern Sea-
board, commuters and vacation-
ers found their travel plans
scrambled. Airlines warned it
would be days before the thou-
sands of passengers stranded by
Irene find their way home. Some
Amtrak service in the Northeast
was suspended. Commuter
trains between New Jersey and
NewYork City were not running.
Trains between the city and its
northern suburbs were also dis-
rupted.
In Vermont, the state’s emer-
gency management headquar-
ters stood empty, evacuated be-
cause of river flooding from
Irene’s heavy rains. Rescuers
used a boat and bucket loaders to
pluck seven people from a
swamped mobile home park in
Lyndonville.
In upstate New York, author-
ities were closely watching major
dams holding back drinking wa-
ter reservoirs.
Throughout the region, hun-
dreds of roads were impassable
because of flooding or fallen
trees, and some bridges had sim-
ply given way, including a 156-
year-old hand-hewn, wooden,
covered bridge across Schoharie
Creek in Blenheim, N.Y. In all,
more than a dozen towns in Ver-
mont and at least three in New
York remained cut off by flooded
roads and bridges.
Still, there were glimmers of
good news. In Pennsylvania, the
Delaware River largely remained
in its banks, cresting several feet
lower than feared. The forecast
for flooding on the Mohawk Riv-
er inNewYorkalsoeasedat Sche-
nectady, N.Y., where officials had
worried that high water might
threatenthe city’s drinking water
and sewage treatment plant.
Early estimates put Irene’s
damage at $7 billion to $10 bil-
lion, much smaller than the im-
pact of monster storms such as
Hurricane Katrina, which did
more than $100 billion in dam-
age.

started, about 12,000 UGI cus-
tomers were without power in
Luzerne County. But even with
a full complement of work
crews out making repairs, that
total actually grew by 1,500 at
one point.
“Despite an entire day of our
efforts, we’re still at 12,000,”
Swope said Monday night.
“This is historic in terms of
damage,” Swope added, noting
he lost power at his home for 17
hours before it was restored.
Approximately 22,000 UGI
Electric customers, including
many of those in the Back
Mountain area, lost power at
some point over the weekend
duetoextensivedamagecaused
by Hurricane Irene. The storm
caused the outage of five trans-
mission feeders, which resulted
in the extensive power outages
throughout UGI’s service area.
Swope said crews were find-
ing it difficult to reach some
customers because of downed
trees blocking roads and that
while many customers should
have power restored by week’s
end, it’s possible some in rural
areas may be waiting a bit long-
er.
“It could go into early next
week,” Swope said.
About 296,000 PPL Electric
Utilities customers lost power
because of the storm, withmore
than 14,000 of them in Luzerne
County.
As of 8 p.m. Monday, service
had been restored to about
221,000 PPLcustomers and was
expectedtobe restoredtoanad-
ditional 10,000to15,000bymid-
night. There were still 2,246
customers in Luzerne County
without power.
Technicians were being dis-
patched to outage work loca-
tions based on the number of
customers affected, with prior-
ity given to any case involving a
public safety or health facility,
according to the PPL website.
Northern East Coast cities,
which were hit last by Irene,
were still surveying the dam-
age. Vermont experienced its
worst floods ina century. Half of
Connecticut Light &Power cus-
tomers were in the dark.
“This is just unprecedented,”
the utility’s spokesman, David
Radanovich, said. “The largest
storm we’ve ever faced.”
As 750,000 of the utility’s cus-
tomers lost power over the
weekend, Connecticut Light re-
quested outside help. About
200 to 300 additional crews are
headed to the state.
Public Service Electric and
Gas Company, New Jersey’s
largest utility, said several thou-
sand homes lost power when
electrical substations were
flooded. Those stations will re-
main offline until crews can
pump out the water and dry all
the equipment.

Crawford appealed her convic-
tion, but it was upheldby the state
Superior Court in June.
On July 27, state police said
Crawford had suspected marijua-
na and drug paraphernalia in her
possession after a crash on Stull WILKES-BARRE – A woman
convictedof crueltytoanimalsina
case in which prosecutors say she
pierced and docked the tails of kit-
tens, hadher previous sentencere-
voked Monday and was resen-
tenced to three to six months in
county jail.
Holly A. Crawford, 36, of Sweet
Valley, appeared before Luzerne
County Judge Tina Polachek Gar-
tley on Monday after violating the
terms of her probation after being
charged with possession of a con-
trolled substance and drug par-
aphernalia in a Wyoming County
case.
“If I revoke, you can be sen-
tenced up to five years in jail,” Po-
lachek Gartley said to Crawford.
“These are serious consequenc-
es.”
Crawford had been convicted in
February 2010 of one misdemean-
or and one summary count of cru-
eltytoanimals, andwas sentenced
to six months of house arrest and
one year, three months probation.
Prosecutors say she pierced the
Road in Noxen Township.
The July arrest resulted in
Crawford’ssecondprobationviola-
tion, andPolachekGartley’s resen-
tencing of her on Monday.
Crawford had previously violat-
edher probationinApril whenshe
allegedly failed to pay costs or res-
titutioninher case. InJune, Craw-
ford’s original house arrest and
probation sentence was rein-
stated.
Crawford’s attorney, Jonathan
Ursiak, toldthejudgeMondaythat
hisclient wantedtoget backtoher
children and out of prison.
Polachek Gartley told Crawford
that she wasn’t taking advantage
of the opportunity given to her
with probationary sentences, and
that because Crawford wasn’t ad-
heringtothejudges rules, a prison
sentence was handed down.
ThejudgesaidCrawfordis eligi-
ble for the county’s Day Reporting
program, and received credit for
time already servedinprisonfrom
July 27 until Monday.
Crawford must undergo a drug-
and-alcohol evaluationandsubmit
to random testing, Polachek Gar-
tley said.

YATESVILLE – When Judge
David Lupas was about 13 years
old, he told a group of educators
at Pittston Area Senior High
School, he worried most about
getting ice creammoney fromhis
mother andriding his bicycle to a
nearby baseball field.
Now, the juvenile court judge
said, times are different, with
children sometimes committing
armed robberies.
Lupas and a panel of Luzerne
Countyofficials presenteda Juve-
nile Justice Task Force confer-
ence to teachers at Pittston Area
on the school’s in-service day be-
fore classes begin on Wednesday.
“We have a shared interest in
dealing with children on a daily
basis,” Lupas said. “We need to
work hand-in-hand.”
The conference was one of two
held Monday – another was at a
Wilkes-Barre Area school – in
which the task force collaborates
with local school districts to tell
themhowthe juvenile justice sys-
tem works and to keep lines of
communication open.
The task force, the first of its
kind in Pennsylvania, will hold
conferences at six local school
districts for more than1,000 edu-
cators at the schools’ first in-ser-
vice days of the year over the next
month.
The next conference will be at
Hanover Area Junior/Senior
High School on Sept. 28.
Lupas detailed the juvenile de-
linquency proceedings he presi-
des over in Luzerne County
Court, including that each juve-
nile is represented by an attorney
and that the outcome of each
child’s proceedings is tailored to
his or her needs
Monday’s presentation includ-
ed county District Attorney Jack-
ie Musto Carroll, who talked
about what happens with a juve-
nile case from the time it is re-
ported to police until it is com-
pleted, either by a judge or by an-
other method, includingthe new-
ly formed Youth Aid Panels that
aimto keep juveniles out of court
while holding them accountable
for the wrongs they’ve done.
“Our goal is to restore the child
to the point where they can be a
functioning member of society,”
Musto Carroll said.
County Judge Tina Polachek
Gartley spoke of the juvenile de-
pendency court she runs along
sidecountySenior JudgeChester
Muroski; she said truancy is the
major issue on her list.
Joe DeVizia, executive director
of theofficeof humanservices, al-
so spoke about truancy.
County Chief Public Defender
Al Flora also was on hand Mon-
day, andhediscussedthejuvenile
unit formed in his office.
Flora said one attorney used to
handle 70 juveniles a year, but
now the unit has expanded to
three attorneys, two social work-
ers and an investigator.

Residentshavetotravel upCoal
Street andover theArchBridgeto
Lee Street to get to andfromtheir
homes. Yudichak said the in-
creased traffic on the Arch Bridge
is also a concern for municipal of-
ficials and PennDOT.
Andy Reilly, Luzerne County
director of Community Develop-
ment, said the county does have
some block grant money that was
not used and must be spent by
Oct. 31or lost. He said the bridge
project might not qualify for that
funding because of the Oct. 31
deadline.
“We are willing to discuss it,”
Reilly said. “But I’mskeptical that
project could be done within the
time frame we have.”
Hesaidif thecountygrant mon-
eycan’t be used, there maybe oth-
er revenue sources to pursue.
“We will do everything we can
to assist in finding a local share,”
Reilly said.
Joe Mazur, Plymouth Borough
manager, said the borough is will-
ingtodo“whatever it takes” toget
the funding and repair or replace
the bridge.
Yudichak said he has also been
working with various agencies on
a Growing Greener Plus applica-
tion for funding of a Coal Creek
Stream Restoration and Flood
Protection Project. The Luzerne
Conservation District submitted
that application last week, Yudi-
chak said.
Letters of support for the appli-
cation have come from U.S. Sen.
Robert Casey, U.S. Sen. Pat Too-
mey, U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, and
state Rep. Gerald Mullery.
“If the application is approved,
the project would help reduce the
risk of any future flash flooding in
the area,” Yudichak said.
The Pennsylvania American
Water Co. has been working in
Coal Creek to cover an exposed
36-inchwater mainline. Yudichak
said work is nearing completion.
Once it’s finished, work can begin
on restoring Coal Street, which
was ripped up by the raging flood
waters.

“We are hoping to gain addi-
tional awareness in the Valley
andbeyondof the project,” Garri-
gan said. “We are in need of addi-
tional supplies to be donated and
want to let the public know how
they can help.”
Garrigan said the sleeping
bags will be waterproofed and
stuffed with Bibles, toiletries and
other items. Rutter said the mis-
sion will assume many services
that were lost to the homeless
community when REACH Inc.
closed July 1.
“Starting Sept. 12, we will be
offering showers, mail service
and other services to the home-
less,” Rutter said. “We will have a
drop-in center, this won’t be a
place where they can hang out
and watch TV all day. We will
help them connect with other
agencies for services they need.”
Rutter said eight men are stay-
ing at the mission – six of them
enrolled in what Rutter calls the
“life changingprogram,” whichis
a one-year discipleship program
that includes Bible study, educa-
tional classes andanexercise pro-
gram. Rutter saidprogrampartic-
ipants are given shelter and
meals and on weekends – Friday
throughSunday – anyone inneed
is served an evening meal. Rutter
said 30 to 40 people usually at-
tend the servings.
Garrigan said the Wyoming
Valley Rescue Mission serves as
the main donation spot for mate-
rials for the sleeping bags. People
can drop off donations Monday
through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A group of volunteers met
Monday night in Mountain Top

An adjudication hearing is
scheduled on Wednesday before
juvenilecourt JudgeDavidW. Lu-
pas.
Rushinski, Klecha, Galante
and Lauren Fredmund could not
be reached for comment on Mon-
day. The citations against Rush-
inski, Klecha and Galante were
filed with District Judge Paul Ro-
berts in Kingston on Friday.
Lauren Fredmund was cited
with purchase and consumption
of alcohol as a minor. Her charge
was filed with District Judge Ro-
nald Swank in Wright Township
on Thursday.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Police responded to a car crash
on Lake Road at about 2 a.m. July
18 and found Madry had been
partially ejectedfromthe vehicle.
There were no other people at
the scene.
Police later learned there were
six juveniles at the party, includ-
ing Adam Fredmund, Lauren
Fredmund and Madry.
Afemale juvenile not named in
the criminal complaint allegedly
told authorities she and Galante
set up the purchase of alcohol
through Rushinski.
Rushinski delivered the alco-
hol to the juvenile and Lauren
Fredmund in a parking lot in Lu-
zerne. Rushinski had earlier been
paid $35 to buy the alcohol, the
complaint says.
Rushinski is scheduled for a
preliminary hearing on Sept. 21
before Roberts.
A summary hearing will be
scheduled for Lauren Fredmund,
Galante and Klecha if they plead
not guilty to the citations.

His advantage over the other
candidates, Santorum said, is
his conservative record and his
accomplishments.
“No one’s been able to ac-
complish in Washington on na-
tional security, on fiscal issues,
ontaxissues, onmoral cultural
issues, no one’s been able to
make the accomplishments
that I have and comes from a
conservative camp. …You look
at their record and they’ve nev-
er accomplished anything. I’ve
proven that I’ve been a consis-
tent conservative,” he said.
After losingthe 2006 general
electiontoU.S. Sen. BobCasey
Jr., Santorum started a media
company and spent time writ-
ing and on the radio. “I feel like
I’ve been out of the beltway …
and can come back with the
perspective of having worked in
theprivatesector andapplysome
of those principles to Washing-
ton,” he said.
Santorum said Pennsylvania
will be animportant state for him
– politically and financially.
On the political side, he said
there’s no way a Democrat will
win the presidency without car-
rying Pennsylvania.
“I think I can say this without
question that if I’m the nominee
and I win Pennsylvania in the
general election, I’ll be president
of the United States, period,” he
said.
Santorum said he’s been able
to raise a lot of money here in the
past, and he’s counting on that
support again in his bid for the
GOP nod.
“Now that we’ve shown that
we’ve got some real footing and
that this is a viable campaign and
one that I believe will be success-
ful, we can come back to the peo-
ple in Pennsylvania and talk
about how they can get in-
volved,” he said.
Santorum said that when it
comes to debates, he’s confident
that he is the clear winner among
Republican candidates.
“No one walks out of that room
with more support than I do.
There maybe others whoget sup-
port, but we do very, very well
when everybody gets a chance to
look at all the candidates and see
what the message is, see who the
messenger is, see what I’ve been
able to accomplish in the past
and what my vision is for the fu-
ture,” he said.
But he acknowledged that win-
ning the primary election comes
down to money.
“As a candidate, we match up
well against anybody and we can
win. The problem is that, you
know, we haven’t been in the
horse race game. The horse race
game tends to look at one thing –
money. And if you have money,
then you’re a viable candidate; if
youdon’t have money, you’re not.
And right now, we don’t,” Santo-
rum said.

READING — Residents in
one eastern Pennsylvania com-
munity are having a remote
mystery.
Remote controls stopped
working for no apparent reason
in Ontelaunee Township’s Wil-
low Glen neighborhood. Now
they’re working again, so resi-
dents are happy but no less con-
fused.
“Two to three weeks ago, I
had to be 6 inches from my ga-
rage door to openit (withthe re-
mote),” said Randy Wails, a
neighborhood resident. “Now I
can open it from a block away.”
The Reading Eagle reported
that at least 10 residents, using
different brands and models,
said their garage door openers
stopped working in July.
John Rohrbach of The Over-
head Door Co. of Reading said
remotes can stop working when
radio waves interfere with the
signal but not on such a large
scale.
“We’ve had pockets in some
developments where we’ve had
issues like this, but it’s usually
one or two houses,” he said.
“Whatever was doing it was
pretty strong.”
Township supervisor William
Klein said officials have been
asking around about what could
have causedthe interference. So
far, nothing’s turned up.

NEW ORLEANS — The Gulf
Coast mixed somber ceremonies
with NewOrleans’ signature flair
to mark the sixth anniversary of
Hurricane Katrina and honor
those killed during the cata-
strophic storm that drowned
much of the region’s dominant
cityanddevastatedcoastal towns
in Mississippi, Alabama and
Louisiana.
Monday marked the passage of
sixdifficult years of rebuildingfor
the region, which is showing
signs of a strong recovery from
the costliest natural disaster in
U.S. history.
The storm killed more than
1,800 people, a majority of them
in New Orleans, where water fil-
ledthe city after levees andflood-
walls built by the Army Corps of
Engineers failed.
Despite the hardships, many
residents were upbeat.
“We’re coming back, one house
at a time, just like the community
was built so many years ago,”
said Ronald Lewis, 60, who lives
in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward
andruns a Mardi Gras Indianmu-
seum called the House of Dance
and Feathers. He was one of the
first residents to build back after
Katrina.
To commemorate those lost in
Katrina, Lewis and his Original
Big 9 Social Aid and Pleasure
Club marched a second-line (a
special brass-band parade) down
one of the only streets rebuilt in
theneighborhood’s worst-hit area
and hung a newwreath on an oak
tree for one member’s mother
andniece killedinthe storm. The
wreath changing has become a
yearly ritual for the anniversary.
It wasn’t an altogether sad
event, with people coming out of
their homes to dance to the mu-
sic and greet friends.
Also Monday, New Orleans
Mayor Mitch Landrieu and his
sister, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu,
D-La., joined hundreds of people
for a walk to the top of a bridge in
the Lower 9th Ward where a bou-
quet of flowers was tossed into
the Industrial Canal.
The floodwalls along the canal
burst open during Katrina and
led to deadly flooding.
Similar events were held else-
where on the Gulf Coast. In Bi-
loxi, Miss., the names of storm
victims were read aloud as about
100 people gathered in prayer at
the Katrina Memorial site on the
Town Green.
At the University of New Or-
leans, the commemoration was
more academic thanemotional at
a symposium to discuss a new
book on the recovery by the
Brookings Institution and the
nonprofit Greater New Orleans
Community Data Center. The
meeting focused on government
and civic improvements driven
by a populace that’s more en-
gaged since the catastrophe.
“The region is well positioned
to be a model of rebirth as long as
it doesn’t let this early progress
slip,” said Amy Liu, of the Brook-
ings Institution, and an editor of
the book “Resiliency and Oppor-
tunity.”
Thereforms inNewOrleans in-
clude the creation and funding of
an inspector general’s office to
oversee city contracting and an
independent police monitor to
help reform a scandal-plagued
police department; a complete
overhaul of the education system
and a proliferation of independ-
ently run charter schools; and an
evacuationsystemthat takes into
account the needs of those with-
out cars or easy access to trans-
portation.
Panelists said Katrina provid-
ed an emotional impetus that al-
lowed reform efforts to gain trac-
tion.
“There’s about a one-letter dif-
ference between an engaged citi-
zenry and an enraged citizenry,”
said Tulane University’s David A.
Marcello, author of a chapter on
ethics. “And rage unquestionably
fueled a considerable amount of
the reform impulse and the en-
gagement that came after Katri-
na.”
“You can’t sustain rage or en-
gagement indefinitely,” Marcelo
added. “You have to use those
moments to create systems that
will endure.”
Despite other troubles that
have beset the region, suchas last
year’s oil spill, it looks like the
Gulf Coast is on the mend.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Bar-
bour said that six years ago it
looked like “the hand of God had
wiped away the coast.” Today, he
continued, visitors to the Missis-
sippi coast “can’t tell anything ev-
er happened because it’s been re-
built.”
“Naysayers predicted our city’s
best days wereover. Weknewbet-
ter,” said U.S. Rep. Cedric Rich-
mond, D-New Orleans.
Still, residents and politicians
alike acknowledged there’s a lot
left to do.
President Barack Obama
promised to help the region
“come backstronger thanbefore”
while praising “the grit and de-
termination” of the Gulf Coast’s
residents.
He said his administration
helped the recovery along by cut-
ting red tape to free up recovery
money and broke “through gri-
dlock” to help thousands of dis-
placed families find homes.
Still, it’s not as rosy in many
neighborhoods like the Lower
9th Ward where the recovery has
been very slow. The neighbor-
hood has lost about 14,000 resi-
dents.
“It’s pretty slow,” said Henry
Holmes, the 77-year-old owner of
Eatin’ At Holmes, a restaurant he
ran before Katrina.
Without floodinsurance for his
business, he saidhe hadspent his
savings to get his restaurant reo-
pened. “Unless it picks up, I’ll
have to close in five, six months.”
Despite the hopeful tone of
many of Monday’s events, statis-
tics released Sunday by Brook-
ings point to numerous long-
standing problems laid bare and
exacerbated by Katrina, includ-
ing high poverty, unaffordable
housing and racial inequities.
And some in the city question
the reforms touted by city lead-
ers.
Mayor Landrieu addressed
some of the prickly issues at the
symposium. Post-Katrina school
changes, he said, have resulted in
increased test scores and a nar-
rowing of the gap in performance
between blacks and whites.
And he touted his administra-
tion’s opening of local healthclin-
ics around the city.
“Collectively, we as a people
have found a way to begin major
systemic change,” he said.
Recovery of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast since 2005 hurricane
has been impressive, many say, but much still needs to be done

Writer amazed by drivers
who disregard roadblocks
A
s my wife and I looked out our window
during the height of Hurricane Irene to
the very obvious roadblock in front of
Liberty Hills, blocking travel on East St.
Mary’s Road traveling toward Ashley, we
witnessed an amazing sight.
Car after car (six by our count in a 5-
minute period) swerved around the road-
block, actually traveling on the shoulder of
the opposing lane, only to return a minute
later when it become apparent to the driv-
er that the road really was closed.
We pondered this sight and wondered
what these drivers were thinking. Perhaps
they thought the roadblock was only for
the faintest of souls or perhaps their luxury
SUVs could surely traverse a pesky flooded
road.
How many times did we hear – over the
past 72 hours, not to mention during every
flooding event in the past – not to drive on
flooded roads and to be prepared for pos-
sible road closures? The arrogance of these
drivers only proves that these types of
messages do little to influence someone
who thinks the rules do not apply to them.
Why would Hanover Township even think
of putting up a roadblock if the road were
not actually closed?
These are the types of accidents in
which the lives of the first responders are
put at risk because a driver does not un-
derstand the significance of a road block-
ade. You always think it only happens to
someone else, but here is a simple truth:
that someone else could be you.

Voters should demand
transparency from panel
B
eware of the deficit-reduction “super
committee.” These 12 members of
Congress will be under intense pres-
sure from lobbyists as they engineer the
future of America.
Will you be represented? Will Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania be represented? Will the
people have a seat at the table? Probably
not, unless you have hired one of these
powerful lobbyists.
Will these six Republicans and six Dem-
ocrats use this super panel as a super fun-
draising opportunity? Historically, the
answer is yes.
For the sake of our democracy, we must
demand from our elected representatives
that they support complete transparency
and a ban on all political fundraising from
the members of the super panel while
deliberating this process.

KEN BURNS talks too fast.
Must be because he’s
learned so much about his
latest exploration of history
that he wants to make sure
you hear enough to get as
excited about it as he is.
Burns recently was introduced to a
packed-house Dallas crowd as the “patron
saint of all history buffs.” And it’s hard to
argue with that description.
Burns’ 1990 epic documentary series “The
Civil War” breathed incredible life into chap-
ters of the past we all assumed we knew –
and he did it through still photographs,
talking-head interviews and the reading of
letters crafted more than a century earlier.
Burns and his teams also have produced
programs about baseball and jazz, Thomas
Jefferson and Huey Long, explorers Lewis
and Clark and women’s-rights pioneers
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Antho-
ny.
He explores history through the lives of
the sometimes-ordinary, sometimes-extraor-
dinary people who made it and shows who
they are but also how they are us. Their
struggles are like our own, and the lessons
of their times can guide us still.
Burns says his latest work could be about
American society today: Single-issue politics
yielding horrible unintended consequences.
Demonization of recent immigrants. Un-
funded congressional mandates. Smear
campaigns during presidential elections.
Not to mention “a whole people who felt
they had lost control of their country and
were desperate to take it back.”
Sounds like “America at this moment,” he
told an audience at the Belo Mansion event
co-sponsored by the Dallas Bar Association
and the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort
Worth.
But it also describes America during
Prohibition, that era during which the 18th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution made
it illegal to make, sell or transport liquor.
Beyond the images of gangsters, flappers
and speakeasies that most of us associate
with that time lies an “extraordinary story”
about how support for the amendment came
together and then fell apart, Burns said.
Titles of the series’ three parts tell it suc-
cinctly: “A Nation of Drunkards,” “A Nation
of Scofflaws” and “A Nation of Hypocrites.”
Before Prohibition, Americans were sots,
drinking an average of 90 bottles of whiskey
per person per year, Burns said. The Anti-
Saloon League fervently campaigned to
counter the scourge of alcohol on families.
And they succeeded.
The series explores the intensity with
which Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the first
female assistant U.S. attorney general, en-
forced the anti-liquor law and the way in
which Prohibition turned neighborhood
thugs into powerful mobsters.
The film, which is scheduled to air Oct.
2-4 on PBS, also looks at the wet-dry debate
during the 1928 presidential election, in
which Democratic nominee Al Smith was
slandered as a drunk and his Catholic faith
was used to scare voters.
The story includes tax policy, corruption,
strange bedfellows, class disparities, pro-
gressives and conservatives, the evolution of
women in American society and overriding
questions about the role of government in
people’s lives. To hear Burns tell it, it is also
about zealotry, rigidity, short-sightedness –
and resilience.
It could be viewed as a “painful cautionary
tale” or optimistically as an example of
when the democratic system worked, he
said.
The states ratified the 18th Amendment
in 1919, 13 months after Congress passed it.
But by 1933, voters were ready to be done
with it. The 21st Amendment, which re-
pealed the 18th, was ratified in less than 10
months.
The United States was “the first govern-
ment on Earth to say we will trust the peo-
ple to govern themselves,” Burns said.
“Sometimes they don’t know best ... then
they get it corrected.”

RESSURE WORKS,
and not just in extract-
ing natural gas from
shale.
One fairly effective argument
opponents of hydraulic fractur-
ing, or fracking, have rolled out
is tospeculate about the amount
of chemicals used in the process
and the impact they are having
on the environment.
Their argument has been
made even more effective be-
cause of the mystery surround-
ing the chemicals being used.
Companies have resisted dis-
closing their exact recipes for
competitive reasons.
The resulting pressure ap-
pears to have gotten to the drill-
ing industry.
The Associated Press reports
that at a recent conference pre-
sented by the Colorado Oil and
Gas Association, Halliburton
Co. CEO Dave Lesar talked
about addressing public con-
cernsabout hydraulicfracturing.
To that end, Halliburton has
developed a new fracking fluid,
which is undergoing field tests,
made from materials derived
from the food industry. To drive
the safety point home, he called
up another company executive
andaskedhimtotakeasipof the
fluid, which he did. (When con-
tactedbyTheAPandaskedhow
that executive is doing now, or
whoheis, thecompanydidn’t re-
spond.)
One sip is not the equivalent
of thousands of gallons of fluid
being pumped into the ground.
In this case, scale does matter.
More field tests and further
study are needed.
Still, if Halliburton is moving
in this direction, other compa-
nies are, too.
They would not be doing this
if the public had not been apply-
ing enormous pressure on them
to do so. Keep it up.

O
N THE FIRST day of
school, you journey
into the big, wide
world, wondering if
you will be OK.
You quickly discover that
you are not alone; most every-
one’s stomach sometimes gets
that fluttery feeling, too, and
they fixate on the same ques-
tions as you. Will I be liked? Do
I have the smarts to succeed?
Can I do this?
Soon, you get familiar with
the foreign places (the play-
ground, the classroom, the
cafeteria) andthe newroutines
(the bus pick-ups, the bells, sin-
gle-file, no running, raise your
hand). You memorize the
schedules. You pass tests. You
speak up. Faster than you real-
ize, you befriend many people
and maybe find a fewnot much
to your liking. Later, you re-
evaluate and realize some who
you thought you didn’t care to
get to know, you really do. And
vice versa.
You learn a lot about colors
and shapes, numbers and
words, politics and people, es-
pecially yourself. You change a
bit along the way. Youhave bad
days and great ones.
Eventually, you figure out
something wonderful: You’ve
been out in the big world and
begun to understand it. You
will be OK.
Many years later, maybe on
the day that you graduate from
high school – or enter a col-
lege, or start a job, or move to a
different city, or remake your
career, or redefine your life or
finally retire – the cycle re-
peats. You again journey into
thebig, wideworld, wondering
if you will be OK.

In the Harding section of Exe-
ter Township, Santa Maria
Niedzwiecki spent her sunny
Monday afternoon removing the
locust tree branches that blanket-
ed her front yard. A large limb
crackedoff Sunday, ripping down
a utility pole and transformer on
Route 92.
New utility poles were in-
stalled, but power had not been
restored as of late Monday after-
noon.
The locust tree was there be-
fore the home was built in the
1950s, said Niedzwiecki, who has
lived there since 1985. A contrac-
tor was scheduled to remove it.
“It’s sad to see the tree go.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and
it went away from the house,”
Niedzwiecki said.
She felt bad that her tree was
causing a disruption along the
stretch and was touched that
neighbors came to her yard to
help cut the tree into smaller
pieces and pile up branches.
“They’re so kind to give their
time. It just shows people are
willing to help in time of need.”
Another section of Route 93,
like many area highways, was
limited to one lane as utility
crews removeddownedtrees and
repaired utility lines.
A sign at the Exeter Township
municipal building near Niedz-
wiecki’s property issued a brief
alert toresidents: “Needdrinking
water go to Mt. ZionFire House.”
Hard-hit Back Mountain
Water buffaloes were set up in
various locations throughout the
region. Residents of the hard-hit
Back Mountain have access to
water at the Jackson Township
municipal building on Huntsville
Road and the Lehman Township
Fire Hall on Firehouse Road.
Jackson Township Supervisor
John Wilkes Jr. said the water is
undrinkable but may be used for
flushingtoilets, cleaningandoth-
er uses. Water safe for drinking
should be available today, he
said.
The Back Mountain Emergen-
cy Operating Center set up a
command center at the Dallas
Fire and Ambulance headquar-
ters on East Center Hill Road in
Dallas, Monday morning. Resi-
dents were invited to come there
for food, beverages and cleaning
kits. The center will open again
at noon today to provide these
items.
Harveys Lake residents Char-
lotte Williams, Amy Williams
and Heather Hules set up an
emergency center at the Harveys
Lake Municipal Building, provid-
ing food, beverages, water and a
20-pound bag of ice for each
home. The American Red Cross
provided cots.
Harveys Lake Mayor Clarence
Hogan said someone will be at
the borough building at all times
to try to help in any way they can.
Stores in the area had run out
of drinking water, the women at
the borough building said.
Harveys Lake resident Bernard
Walter assessed the damage to
his property Monday, reporting
that 13 mature trees on his Lake-
side Drive property – spruces,
pines and maples – had toppled.
Walter had been securing his
boat early Sunday morning when
he heard the first tree cracking.
The others followed, one by one,
throughout the day.
Insurance will provide little
coverage for tree removal, he
said. He was saddenedbythe loss
of trees that have been there for
decades. “It’s just a lot of natural
legacy that’s been lost in this
storm,” he said.
His property is in a section of
the lake known as Point Breeze.
“It definitely fulfilled that
name,” he said.
Fred Ebbecke, owner of Preci-
sion Tree Removal, stopped by
the Walter residence Monday
morning to provide an estimate
to remove the debris.
Ebbecke said he was focusing
first on tree removals that were
“creating a dangerous condi-
tion.”
“We’re swamped,” he said.
Working on downed trees
Chris Myers, of Chris’s Tree
Service in Mountain Top, was
working with his crew at 665
Charles Lane in Kingston on
Monday morning, chopping up a
60-foot-high maple that had up-
rooted and crashed onto a home.
Calls started pouring into his
business around 3 p.m. Sunday
afternoon. Like Ebbecke, he was
concentrating first on safety haz-
ards. “I have 26 customers wait-
ing,” Myers said.
He appreciated the business,
but felt sorry for his customers.
Myers expected tree loss when
he saw the weather predictions.
“I knewwe’dget some damage,
but nothing like this.”
Bob and Sandy Williams, own-
ers of the Charles Lane property,
were working on temporary re-
pairs to their structure after the
tree was removed.
“Fortunately, there were no in-
juries. Property and contents can
be replaced,” Bob Williams said.
In Exeter, Bill Whyte loaded
branches and limbs fromhis Exe-
ter Avenue property into a bor-
rowed dump truck.
A tree limb broke off and land-
edonthepower lineinfront of his
home, knocking out power
around5 a.m. Sunday. Power was
restored around 1:30 p.m. Sun-
day.
He used a chainsaw to cut the
wood into manageable sections,
sweat pouring fromhis forehead.
“What are you going to do? It’s
Mother Nature,” he said.
Fallen trees and branches lit-
tered many area parks and ceme-
teries, including the Hollenback
Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre.
Several residents in Noxen
Township, Wyoming County,
were busy pumping out their
basements Mondayafternoon. At
least two roads hadwashedaway,
and residents had no power.
Bertha Ely, who has lived in a
double-block on Stull Road since
1962, said the Hettis Run creek
overflowed. The same flooding
occurredin2006, but shesaidshe
never hadfloodingonher proper-
ty before that.
Ely had basement pumps on
both sides of the property, but
they stopped working when the
power went out. She watched
helpless as the water filled her
basement. It stopped at her
ground-level kitchen door.
Her grandson’s friend loaned
her a generator Monday.
“We’ve been pumping water
out of the basement the last five
hours,” she said.
Ely worried how she’ll scrape
together money for damages.
She resisted the temptation to
open her freezer, hoping the food
would keep until power was re-
stored. “I’ma widowona fixedin-
come. I don’t know what I’m go-
ing to do,” Ely said.
Tunkhannock resident Brian
Murphy owns two properties in
the township, a rental unit and a
house occupied by his mother.
The basement of the rental unit
on Stull Road was filled with wa-
ter. A tree fell on the porch of his
mother’s house.
Murphy tried to bring a gener-
ator to his tenants Sunday, but
couldn’t get through on two at-
tempts because of road closures
betweenhis home andNoxen. He
delivered the generator Monday
morning and believes govern-
ment officials must dosomething
to clear out Hettis Run so it won’t
flood again.
Corbett weighs in
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Cor-
bett held a press conference in
Wyoming County on Monday
near Mehoopany, to discuss dam-
age he observed in a flyover.
“I am amazed at what water
can do to concrete and to asphalt
and to the bridges we have, and
it’s done quite a job here,” Cor-
bett says.
The state was first concentrat-
ing on reaching residents in iso-
lated areas cut off by hurricane
damage, Corbett said. He praised
volunteers, saying they provided
90 percent of the assistance to
state residents.

SCHOOLS AFFECTED
Two area school districts have
made scheduling changes due
to problems associated with
Hurricane Irene.
The Lake-Lehman School
District has postponed the
start of school, which was
scheduled to begin Monday,
until Sept. 6, High School
Principal Doug Klopp said.
The Dallas School District has
postponed the dedication of
the new high school, which was
supposed to take place Monday
at 6 p.m., until Sept. 11 at 2 p.m.,
Superintendent Frank Galicki
said.
Klopp said Lake-Lehman opted
to postpone the start of school
because many communities
within the district are still
dealing with downed trees,
water damage to homes and
the loss of electricity.
“Because of the storm we don’t
have the ability to get students
in. People are still without
electricity and a lot of homes
have water,” Klopp said.
Galicki said Dallas postponed
the new school dedication out
of concern that some residents
who would like to attend would
not be able to because they are
dealing with storm-related
damage to their homes and
roadways
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta spent
Monday touring portions of his
congressional district and said
he noticed Luzerne County
fared much better than some
neighboring counties.
He alsosaidhe was awestruck
by the different levels of damage
Hurricane Irene brought to the
region Sunday.
Barletta, R-Hazleton, said the
disparity of devastation from
onecountytothenext, onecom-
munity to the next, was stark.
“As I was traveling around,
you had some who were breath-
ing a sigh of relief and others
whose life will never be the
same,” Barletta said during a
stop at the Luzerne County
Emergency Management Agen-
cy in Wilkes-Barre.
At several stops earlier Mon-
day in Monroe County, he said
he heard about a man who was
killedinPoconoTownshipwhen
a tree fell on him. Just seconds
earlier, the man had pushed his
son out of the the toppling tree’s
path.
He also heard about a Pocono
Township woman who was
home typing on her computer
when a tree fell on her house,
landing on the rafters just above
where she sat.
He stood along the Delaware
River in Shawnee-On-Delaware
and saw the river – out of its
banks – inundating the sur-
rounding properties.
Things were so bad in Lu-
zerne County’s eastern neigh-
bor that Barletta wrote to Presi-
dent Barack Obama urging him
to free up federal funds for clea-
nup efforts in Monroe.
“Monroe County bore the
brunt of the inland impact of
Hurricane Irene. Bodies of wa-
ter flooded. High wind toppled
treesandpower lines. Roadsand
bridges first became impassable
and then sustained structural
damage. Homes and vehicles
were flooded, or were crushed
by falling trees and blowing de-
bris,” Barletta wrote. “It is clear
that federal assistance is critical
to the public health and safety,
tohelpthearearecover econom-
ically and to ensure that the re-
gion is adequately prepared for
future disasters.”
Barletta was briefed on Lu-
zerne County’s situation and
learned, in summary, it could
have been a lot worse.
“We didn’t get that much rain
andwe didn’t get the wind,” said
Steve Bekanich, the county’s
EMAdirector.
HesaidtheBackMountainar-
ea saw the most damage in the
county and plenty of power out-
ages. Mountain Top, too, sus-
tained damage fromwinds.
Barletta said he was “super
concerned”about Plymouthand
Plymouth Township, which sus-
tained infrastructure damage
from the heavy rains of July 3,
but Irenecausedlittletonodam-
age in those communities.
Bekanich said power outages
anddownedtreesblockingroad-
ways were the major issues in
Luzerne County.
Barletta said municipal lead-
ers dida goodjobpreparingresi-
dents, who for the most part did
a good job making plans in case
they lost power or needed to
leave their home.
“I was glad to see the flooding
we were expecting to happen
didn’t happen”inLuzerneCoun-
ty, Barletta said. But Barletta
said he feels for municipalities
that did see infrastructure dam-
age, because they likely don’t
have the money to pay for need-
ed repairs.
“This is not in (their munici-
pal) budget,” Barletta said.
Because of the hardship mu-
nicipalities will have paying for
necessary cleanups, state Rep.
Phyllis Mundy wrote to Gov.
Tom Corbett asking for him to
addLuzerneCountytothelist of
counties being considered for a
disaster declaration that would
make them eligible for federal
recovery programs.
Corbett asked Obama to de-
clare a disaster in 11 Pennsylva-
nia counties, but omitted Lu-
zerne from the list. Mundy said
Luzerne shouldbe onthe list be-
cause the county has declared a
stateof emergencyinmanyof its
municipalities, including eight
in her legislative district.
“Much destruction has been
caused by fallen trees and flash
flooding,” Mundy wrote. “As a
result, thousands of residents
are still without power and
manyarewithout water. Ahurri-
cane-related death has even
been reported in our county.”

WILKES-BARRE–Thefiancée
of acitymanwhowas killedwhen
atreecrushedhiscampersaidshe
and the couple’s four children
werestandingjust afewfeet away
and narrowly escaped by fleeing
through a door.
Tina Wydra said Monday nei-
ther she nor Richard Shotwell
heard anything in the moments
before the tree crashed through
the rear sleeping quarters of their
camper at around 9:30 a.m. Sun-
day in the Hidden Lake Camp-
ground in Hunlock Creek.
“It just came out of nowhere,”
Wydra said in
an interview
Monday at the
North Hancock
Street homethe
couple shared.
“The walls
started shak-
ing, He tried to
move, but God was quicker than
he was.”
Shotwell, 41, was pronounced
dead at the scene by the Luzerne
County Coroner’s Office. The
death, which has been ruled acci-
dental, is among five in Pennsyl-
vania that have beenattributedto
Hurricane Irene.
Wydra, 38, saidsheandthechil-
dren had left the camper a short
time before the accident to see if
another tree they heard crash
down had struck any other camp-
ers. They returned to their camp-
er, and Richard told her he want-
ed to take a nap.
“We heard this big crash and
went tocheckit out. That wokeus
up, thankGod, because it was not
long after that the tree came
through,” she said. “I’m just
thankful it didn’t happen in the
middle of the night or the kids
would have lost their mother,
too.”
Wydra said she and her daugh-
ter were walking toward the back
of the camper when they felt the
walls move. Richard was awak-
ened by the movement and tried
toget out of thebed, but it wastoo
late.
“I pushed my daughter out of
the way and tried to grab him to
help himget out of bed faster, but
I couldn’t get to him,” she said.
Fellowcampers grabbed chain-
saws andstartedcuttingawaythe
tree while Wydra andothers tried
to lift debris off of him.
“I was screaming for him and
he wasn’t answering me. I knew
inmy headwhenI was screaming
and he wasn’t answering that he
was gone,” she said.
Wydra said the family had
weathered the storm Saturday
night and believed everything
was OK. The rain had stopped,
and there was only a slight
amount of wind, she said. They
were thinking of leaving earlier
that morning, but decided to stay
to clean up stormdebris.
Wydra said she and Richard
had been together for four years.
The couple have four children,
two 12-year-olds, a 15-year-old
and 9-year-old, from prior rela-
tionships. Richard had worked at
Offset Paperback in Dallas the
past 10 years.
News of Shotwell’s death hit
fellowcampers hard, said Sharon
Kuklewicz, who has a camper at
the site. Kuklewicz said her 6-
year-old grandson, Caden, had
been playing with two of Shot-
well’s children the day before.
Wydrasaidfamilymembersare
doing the best they can to cope
with the loss. She said she is
thankful for the support she has
received from the campgrounds
owners, aswell asfellowcampers.
“Everyone has been so helpful
today and yesterday,” she said.
“It’s just a wonderful camp-
ground.”

H
ow many good guys does it take
to fix a bad deal?
A local businessman is one of
them.
A proposal put forth by Steve Vale
last week would have solved a plethora
of problems for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees.
The Abington area eye doctor round-
ed up a group of local investors in an
attempt to purchase the management
rights to the Triple-A Yankees for $15
million.
That offer promised to generate
more money, more business invest-
ments and more security for Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania’s beleaguered base-
ball franchise.
Lackawanna County commissioners
Corey O’Brien and Mike Washo can do
the math.
But they can’t crack the equation.
As hard as they’ve tried to sweeten a
sour mix, they’re still hamstrung by an
agreement signed into effect by con-
victed felon Bob Cordero, the former
Lackawanna County Commissioner
who gave away our guarantee of host-
ing a Triple-A baseball team.
That was just one of the curveballs
Cordero threw at Scranton-area tax-
payers, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
franchise co-owner Luzerne County
never even saw it coming.
“Luzerne County never wanted to
accept that agreement, either,” Lu-
zerne County commissioner Steve
Urban said.
Talk about a wild pitch.
Now the team’s current operating
partnership between Mandalay and the
New York Yankees is in the process of
purchasing rights the franchise for
$14.6 million, again without the con-
sent of Luzerne County. Which is part-
ly why Luzerne County entered into
litigation to claim what an original
franchise agreement states is its fair
share – nearly half of any franchise sale
price.
That’s almost $7 million Lackawanna
County won’t have for its planned $40
million refurbishment of PNC Field.
Vale’s plan would have stopped Lu-
zerne County’s lawsuit, assured the
franchise remained in local hands and
added more fun to Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre’s games with more giveaway days
and promotions. The idea seemed
smoother than Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
outfielder Greg Golson cruising to
catch fly balls.
But a few flies got caught in the
ointment.
The $20 million in state funding for
PNC Field’s reconstruction is specifical-
ly targeted for the building the New
York Yankees Triple-A team will play
in. Mandalay and the Yankees don’t
want to relinquish management rights
if they purchase the franchise. And
Lackawanna County commissioners
fear the International League would
have grounds to remove Northeastern
Pennsylvania’s franchise if they backed
out of a verbal agreement with Manda-
lay and the New York Yankees now.
It appears we’re backed into a corner.
“If the county backs out of the deal,”
Vale said O’Brien told him, “you have a
problem with the International League,
you have a problem with the Yankees
and you may have a problem with the
state of Pennsylvania.”
Vale got involved to solve problems,
not cause them.
So he backed out, withdrawing the
offer from his management group just
days after presenting it to the Lacka-
wanna County Stadium Authority.
“I don’t want to be responsible for
the Yankees leaving and us losing our
International League franchise,” Vale
said.
He thought he was coming in to save
the day. But he learned how difficult it
is to win after entering a losing battle.
Even when you bring the right stuff.

PITTSBURGH — Pitt line-
backer Brandon Lindsey is no
stranger to high expectations. It
comes with the territory in his
family.
Lindsey’s father, John, played
basketball at Memphis while his
older brother, Willie, was a de-
fensive back at Northwestern.
“I come from an athletic fam-
ily,” said Brandon Lindsey, who
will transition from defensive
end to outside linebacker this
season for the Panthers. “They
tell me all the time, ‘You have to
be the best fromAliquippa to be
the best in the house.’"
Lindsey flourished while re-
placing injured Greg Romeus at
defensive end last fall. His per-
formance didn’t go unnoticed.
He’s on a slew of preseason
award lists and the 6-foot-2, 250-
pound senior hopes to fulfill
such lofty expectations and ce-
ment his status as one of the na-
tion’s top defenders.
The second team All-Big East
pick recorded 51 tackles — 17
1/2for a loss —and10sacks as a
down lineman in the Panthers’
4-3 scheme a season ago. Now,

PHILADELPHIA—Michael Vickis re-
ally back on top now.
Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles
agreed on a six-year contract on Monday
that again makes the Pro Bowl quarter-
backoneof thehighest-paidplayers inthe
NFL.
Asource familiar withthe negotiations
told The Associated Press the deal is
worth $100 million, including about $40
million guaranteed. The person spoke to
the AP on condition of anonymity be-
cause terms weren’t released.
Vick has come a long way since spend-
ing 18 months in federal prison on dog-
fighting charges. He led the Eagles to the
NFC East title last year, was the starting
quarterback in the Pro Bowl and was the
APComeback Player of the Year.
Vickwas duetoearnslightlymorethan
$16 million this season after the
Eagles designated him the fran-
chise player in February. He’ll
makealittleless, possiblygivingthe
Eagles salary cap flexibility to give Pro
Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson an
extension.
The 31-year-old Vick joined the Eagles
in2009, andplayedsparingly as the third-
string QB behind Donovan McNabb and
Kevin Kolb.
He started last year as the backup, but
forced his way into the starting role with
his exceptional performances after Kolb
got hurt in the season opener.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s drive
for a fifth straight International
League North Division champion-
ship came to an end on Monday
night.
The Yankees split a doublehead-
er with Pawtucket on Monday,
winning the first game 3-0, but
when they lost the second game
2-0, they were officially eliminated
from the race for the division
championship. It will mark the
first time in the
team’s five-year
existence that it
will not win the
division crown.
The Yankees
still have a slim
chance of claim-
ing the I.L. Wild
Card berth, but
that could end to-
day if they lose to
Lehigh Valley in
Allentown. Their
elimination num-
ber in that race is
just one, meaning
any total of Iron-
Pigs – or Gwin-
nett wins – or
Yankees losses totaling that num-
ber will result in elimination.
SWB won the first game 3-0 be-
hind a strong pitching perform-
ance from Manny Banuelos, the
organization’s top pitching pros-
pect.
The lefty pitched a complete-
game shutout only allowing one
hit in a seven-inning effort. He
struck out six and only walked
two batters as he evened his re-
cord to 2-2 this season for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre. He didn’t allow
a hit until Jose Iglesias singled to
lead off the top of the sixth. Ba-
nuelos threw 98 pitches, 59 for
strikes.
Banuelos got help offensively
from Jesus Montero, the No. 1
overall prospect for the Yankees.
The catcher, who had two of the
team’s five hits in the first game,
slugged a solo home run – his 18th
of the year – in the bottom of the
first to put the Yankees ahead 1-0.
Greg Golson scored on a wild
pitch in the fifth as the Yankees
extended the lead to 2-0.
Banuelos got another insurance

NEW YORK — Trailing big in
the first round of the U.S. Open,
Maria Sharapova thought —
well, no, she was certain — that
she’d pull through if she could
push her inexperienced oppo-
nent to a third set.
And Sharapova was right.
Shrieking as loudly as ever,
Sharapova came back from a set
anda breakdownagainst 19-year-
old Heather Watson of Britain to
win 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Monday, im-
provingto12-0this year inmatch-
es that went the distance.
“It’s just a matter of belief with-
in myself, that no matter how
well or bad or good I’m playing,
or my opponent is playing, I
know I can tough it out,” the No.
3-seededSharapova saidafter her
2
1
⁄2-hour victory. “No matter what
the situation is, I have the belief.”
That self-confidence comes
not merely from her success in
three-setters this season, but also
from three Grand Slam titles, in-
cluding the 2006 U.S. Open. It’s
the sort of trackrecordthe102nd-
ranked Watson hopes to have one
day; Monday’s match was only
her fifth at a major tournament.
Sharapova wonsixGrandSlam

before losing to Petra Kvitova.

CINCINNATI — Shane
Victorino hit a tiebreaking,
two-run homer in the eighth
inning Monday night, and Cole
Hamels was solid in his return
from the disabled list, leading
the Philadelphia Phillies to a
3-2 victory over the Cincinnati
Reds.
Victorino snapped an 0-for-11
slump with his homer off right-
hander Homer Bailey (7-6),
improving the Phillies to 4-1
against Cincinnati this season.
Hamels held the Reds to two
hits — one a misplayed fly ball
— in six innings. Antonio
Bastardo (6-0) fanned three in
his one inning of relief. Dave
Sappelt’s infield single drove in
a run in the eighth, cutting it
to 3-2
Ryan Madson gave up a hit
in the ninth before finishing it
off for his 24th save in 26
chances.
Mets 2, Marlins 1
Mets 5, Marlins 1
NEW YORK — Dillon Gee
rebounded from a wretched
start and the New York Mets,
back on the field following a
two-day break because of Hur-
ricane Irene, finished off a
doubleheader sweep of the
Florida Marlins with a victory.
R.A. Dickey shut down the
sluggish Marlins in the opener,
pitching seven spotless innings
in a 2-1 victory for his first win
since July 25.
Mets starters had tossed 21
consecutive scoreless innings
before Gee (12-5) gave up a
home run to Greg Dobbs in
the sixth. Jose Reyes scored a
run and committed an error in
his return from the disabled
list.
A boy in the stands got hurt
in the ninth inning of the open-
er when Dobbs hit a line drive
into the right-field seats, just
beyond the New York dugout.
Astros 7, Pirates 4
HOUSTON — Carlos Lee
hit a tiebreaking three-run
homer in the seventh inning,
Wandy Rodriguez struck out a
career-high 13 and the Houston
Astros rallied past the Pitts-
burgh Pirates.
Trailing 3-2 in the seventh, a
fielder’s choice grounder by
J.D. Martinez tied the score
and Lee extended his hitting
streak to 10 games with his
14th homer off Jose Veras,
putting the Astros ahead for
the first time.
Rodriguez struck out six of
the first nine batters he faced
and didn’t allow a hit until
Josh Harrison led off the
fourth with a double and An-
drew McCutchen followed
with his 19th homer.

BALTIMORE — Freddy
Garcia returned from the dis-
abled list to pitch six innings of
two-hit ball, Nick Swisher
homered and the New York
Yankees beat the Baltimore
Orioles 3-2 Monday night earn
a split of the four-game series.
It was New York’s second
straight win without third
baseman Alex Rodriguez and
shortstop Derek Jeter. Rodri-
guez will join the team in Bos-
ton on Tuesday after getting an
MRI on his sore left thumb in
New York, and Jeter rested a
bruised right knee but was
available “in case of an emer-
gency,” manager Joe Girardi
said.
Mark Teixeira doubled in a
run for the Yankees, who
moved within 1
1
⁄2 games of the
first-place Red Sox in the AL
East.
Mark Reynolds and J.J. Har-
dy homered for Baltimore,
which was seeking to win a
four-game series against New
York for the first time since
1997.
Royals 9, Tigers 5
DETROIT — Salvador Perez
and Alcides Escobar hit back-
to-back homers and the Kansas
City Royals beat the first-place
Detroit Tigers.
Alex Gordon also homered
and Johnny Giavotella added a
bases-loaded double for the
Royals, who came in 18
1
⁄2
games behind Central Division
leaders.
Luke Hochevar (9-10) ended
a four-start winless streak. He
gave up five runs on eight hits
in seven innings.
Max Scherzer (13-8) allowed
seven runs on 10 hits and a
walk in three-plus innings to
drop to 2-2 in August. Both
losses were to the Royals.
Indians 2, Athletics 1
CLEVELAND — Carlos
Santana homered and David
Huff and four relievers com-
bined to limit the Oakland
Athletics to five hits in the
Cleveland Indians’ win.
Huff (2-2) gave up three hits
over six scoreless innings to
win for the first time in six
starts, since beating Minnesota
in his season debut on July 18.
Chris Perez worked a perfect
ninth for his 30th save in 34
chances for Cleveland, which
has won three of four.
Santana hit his 20th homer
to give Cleveland a 2-0 lead in
the seventh inning against
Brandon McCarthy (7-7), who
lost for the second time in nine
starts since July 15. It was only
the eighth homer allowed by
the right-hander and seventh
without a runner on base.
Blue Jays 7, Rays 3
TORONTO — Jose Bautista
hit his 38th home run, Ricky
Romero won his sixth straight
decision and the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays
to avoid a four-game sweep.
Adam Lind added a two-run
homer as Toronto snapped a
season-high four-game losing
streak and overcame a two-
homer night from Rays desig-
nated hitter Johnny Damon.
Bautista tied Yankees out-
fielder Curtis Granderson for
the major league lead in home-
rs with a solo drive in the sixth
that hit off the facing of the
third deck in left.
Romero (13-9) allowed three
runs and six hits in six innings.
The left-hander, who walked
four and struck out two, has
not lost since July 16 against
New York.
White Sox 3, Twins 0
CHICAGO — Mark Buehrle
pitched four-hit ball into the
eighth inning and Tyler Flow-
ers drove in two runs as the
Chicago White Sox beat the
Minnesota Twins.
The White Sox have won
four straight and improved to
two games above .500 for the
first time since April 13. They
also moved within five games
of the AL Central-leading De-
troit Tigers.
Buehrle (11-6) pitched
around two walks in 7 2-3 in-
nings and struck out four. He
won his 159th game, tying him
for sixth on the White Sox’s
all-time list.
Buehrle has allowed only
one earned run in 30 2-3 in-
nings this season against the
Twins and has 27 wins in his
career against Minnesota. He
has more wins against the
Twins than any other active
pitcher has against a single
opponent.

BALTIMORE—Yankees third
baseman Alex Rodriguez return-
ed to New York on Monday to
have an MRI on his left thumb,
and the result “came out good,”
according to manager Joe Girar-
di.
Rodriguez sat out Sunday
night’s game against the Balti-
more Orioles after playing in the
first half of the split-doublehead-
er. He was poised to meet the
Yankees inBostononTuesdayfor
the start of a three-game series.
“He’s day to day,” Girardi said.
“I don’t know if he’ll be able to
play (Tuesday). His thumb, we
got to let it heal, so I can’t tell you
exactly when he’s going to be
back. It’s just when he feels bet-
ter.”
Asked if A-Rod would be avail-
able at all in Boston, Girardi re-
plied, “I sure hope so. It just de-
pends on how the thumb respon-
ds to treatment. He came back
andhe seemedtoirritate it a little
bit more, we just have tobe smart
about it. I think it bothers him
probably more hitting.”
Shortstop Derek Jeter was out
of the starting lineup Monday
against the Orioles for a second
straight game. He fouled a ball of
his right knee in the third inning
of the opener Sunday and sus-
tained a bruised kneecap.
The knee swelled up between
games, andalthoughit was better
Monday, Jeter was not ready to
play a full nine innings.
A-Rod sent home
for MRI; Jeter’s
knee still hurts

The Times Leader Staff
NORTON, Mass. — Tiger
Woods will play the Frys.com
Open in California the first week
of October, his first time compet-
ing in the PGA Tour’s Fall Series
as he tries to get his game ready
for the Presidents Cup.
The Frys.com Open is Oct. 6-9
at CordeValle Golf Club, about 45
minutes south of his alma mater
at Stanford.
“I always enjoy competing in
my home state, and this tourna-
ment fits my schedule perfectly,”
Woods said Monday on his web-
site. “I’m looking forward to see-
ing some old friends.”
Woods said a week ago he
might add a
tournament be-
cause of his lim-
ited schedule
this year
brought on by
leg injuries. He
chose a tourna-
ment from the
Fall Series that he has never
played.
The Frys.comOpen, in only its
fifth year, was one of the more ex-
citing tournaments of the Fall Se-
ries last year. Rocco Mediate
holed out for eagle in each of the
four rounds, including the 17th
hole in the final round, for a one-
shot win. It also offers a $5 mil-
lion purse, the richest among
events after the FedEx Cup is
over.
“John Fry and his company
have supported the tour, and I’ve
heard good things about the
event and the golf course,”
Woods said. “Oneof mygoals this
year was to participate in a tour-
nament I hadn’t played before.
And now I will.”
Woods has played only eight
PGA Tour events this year be-
cause of injuries to his left knee
and Achilles’ tendon. He went
four months without completing
a tournament — from the Mas-
ters in April to the Bridgestone
Invitational in August — so he
could make sure his injuries were
fully healed. He said at Firestone
that his legfelt as goodas it hadin
years.
His results raised questions
about his golf, however. He tied
for 37that Firestone, thenmissed
the cut at the PGA Champion-
ship, thefirst timehehadever fin-
ished outside the top100 in a ma-
jor.
When he plays the Frys.com
Open, it will be his first event in
six weeks, although Woods is to
playina one-dayexhibitioninup-
state New York on Wednesday to
support Notah Begay’s charity
work.
“It’s been a long time between
the PGAand Frys, and I’ll be anx-
ious to compete,” Woods said.
Fred Couples said last week he
told Woods he would be a cap-
tain’s pickfor the Presidents Cup,
even though he was 28th in the
standings and had been out of
golf for muchof the summer, mis-
sing two majors. Couples said he
wanted Woods to play more be-
fore the Australian Open in No-
vember, a week before the Presi-
dents Cup.
Even though there was specu-
lation about Woods going to Dis-
ney or Las Vegas — two tourna-
ments he had won as a rookie —
the Frys.com Open had been a
possibility all along.
The tournament consultant is
Duke Butler, a former business
executive with the PGA Tour
who had come out of retirement
in 2007 to help launch the AT&T
National, which supports Woods’
foundation.
“This is a good start,” Butler
said. “We’d like to think that play-
ers and caddies and fans who
have been here have enjoyed it,
and they’ve been spreading the
word.”
It likely will be the only Fall Se-
ries event that Woods plays.
He is hosting the first Tiger
Woods Invitational a week after
the Frys.com Open at Pebble
Beachtoraisemoneyfor his foun-
dation. Proceeds from the three-
dayevent ontheMontereyPenin-
sula will support college-access
programs for underprivileged
youth.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kevin
Harvick has clinched at least a
wild-card berth in the 12-driver
Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship.
Harvick was not listed among
drivers who had clinched after
Saturday night’s race at Bristol
because there are still scenarios
where he could fall outside of the
top 10 in points. Further review
MondaybyNASCARdetermined
his three victories this season
haveearnedhimat minimumone
of the two wild cards.
Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson,
Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards
clinched berths on Saturday
night.
That leaves seven spots open
to be claimed over the next two
races, at Atlanta and Richmond.
Drivers wouldprefer tomake it
intotheChasebybeinginsidethe
top 10 in the standings, which
will award them bonus points
based on their “regular season”
victories.
The two wild cards will be
awarded to the drivers outside
the top10 with the most victories
providing they are ranked inside
the top 20 in points. The wild-
cardpositions will not receive bo-
nus points when the 12 drivers
are re-seeded for the Chase.
After Saturday night’s race,
Brad Keselowski and Denny
Hamlin were in position to claim
the two wild cards. Keselowski is
ranked 11th in points with three
victories, and Hamlin is ranked
13th in points with one win. He
currently would bump12th-place
driver Clint Bowyer, who is win-
less, out of the Chase.
NASCAR said Monday that
Harvick and Jeff Gordon can
guarantee spots in the top10 this
Sunday at Atlanta with a finish of
40th; a finish of 41st and at least
onelapled; or afinishof 42ndand
the most laps led.
Ryan Newman, who is current-
ly 73 points ahead of Keselowski,
can guarantee a spot in the top10
with at least a finish of 20th at At-
lanta; or 21st andleadat least one
lap; or 22nd and lead the most
laps.
Kurt Busch, who is currently
60 points ahead of Keselowski,
can guarantee a top-10 spot with
at least a finish of seventh at At-
lanta; or eighth and lead at least
one lap; or ninth and lead the
most laps.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is 39 points
ahead of Keselowski, and Tony
Stewart is 21 points ahead of Ke-
selowski. Both can clinch a spot
inside the top 10 by widening
their margins to 49 points over
the 11th-place driver. Both are
winless this season and in danger
of being bumped from the Chase
if they fall outside the top 10.
Keselowski, who wants the
three bonus points that are
awarded for each victory in
Chase seeding, wasn’t banking
on passing Stewart for 10th place
in the standings.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
— Texas A&M received a letter
from Big 12 Commissioner Dan
Beebe on Monday outlining the
withdrawal procedure should
the Aggies decide to leave the
league.
University spokesman Jason
Cook said the letter “outlines the
withdrawal procedures accord-
ing to the financial provisions of
the Big 12 bylaws and mutual
waivers of legal claims.”
Cook wouldn’t provide any
other details of the letter or com-
ment on what A&M’s next step
might be.
The Aggies are interested in
joining the Southeastern Confer-
ence and the letter comes less
than a week after they formally
told Beebe they are exploring
their options and asked for the
conference to outline the process
if they decide to leave. The
league’s board of directors ad-
dressed the possible departure of
the Aggies this weekend.
“I certainly appreciate the dis-
cussion among the Big 12 presi-
dents/chancellors and the ex-
pression of their desire for Texas
A&M to remain in the confer-
ence,” Texas A&M President R.
Bowen Loftin said in a state-
ment. “We all agree that Texas
A&M is an extremely valuable
institution; thus, it is incumbent
upon me, as the president of the
university, to ensure that we are
in a position to enhance our na-
tional visibility and future finan-
cial opportunity.”
Loftin added this is a “complex
and long-term decision,” but “it
is not our intent to prolong our
conference exploration for an ex-
tended period of time.”
The SEC said earlier this
month it was happy with its cur-
rent 12-school membership but
left the door open to expansion.
Loftin then received authority
from the board of regents to take
any action he deems necessary
in terms of realignment.
There is concern that a depar-
ture by the Aggies could jeopar-
dize the future of the Big 12,
which is down to 10 teams after
Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colora-
do (Pac-12) left the league last
July. Loftin has said the Aggies
would consider how their depar-
ture would impact the future of
Big 12 before any decision is
made.
The Big 12 would need to find
a team to replace the Aggies if
they exit the conference and
there has been a lot of specula-
tion about possible schools. So
far, the only school to publicly
express interest in moving to the
Big 12 is SMU. Athletic director
Steve Orsini said he’s had infor-
mal talks with Big 12 officials for
some time to inform them of the
school’s improvements and
growth.

IRVING, Texas — Andre Gurode was
warned, just like everyone else on the
Dallas Cowboys. Under first-year coach
Jason Garrett, jobs will be won and lost
based on how players perform in camp
and preseason games, not by what
they’ve done in the past.
Having made the Pro Bowl the last
five years wasn’t enough for Gurode to
keep his roster spot.
The Cowboys cut the veteran center
Monday for a variety of reasons that in-
cluded his age and salary, his decision to
have knee surgery so late in the offsea-
son that it sidelined him for the start of
camp and by the performance by an un-
drafted, unproven second-year player in
Gurode’s absence.
“What we’ve said right fromDay1is it
doesn’t really matter where you came
from or what you’ve done in the past,”
Garrett said. “We’re going to try our best
as coaches and evaluators to see what
you’re doing right nowand see what you
can do for us going forward. We try to do
that individually, wetrytodothat collec-
tively. We’re not in the business of trying
tosenda message tothe rest of the team.
We’re trying to make the best decision
for our team.”
Still, the decision/message was clear
to everyone, fromveterans who may feel
comfortable to rookie free agents still
trying to prove themselves.
“That’s the way it should be,” veteran
linebacker Keith Brooking said. “I think
when you can create that environment
and that message is sent throughout
your team - and it’s not just a message,
there are examples that run through the
team - I think that’s a really good thing
for everyone. That’s what pushes you,
that’s what makes you better. "
The Cowboys already had cut several
other high-priced veterans, including li-
nemen Marc Colombo and Leonard Da-
vis. By adding Gurode to the list, Tony
Romo’s blockers will include three inex-
perienced linemen: Phil Costa at center,
top pick Tyron Smith at right tackle and
seventh-rounder Bill Nagy at left guard.
Costa is the guy whose strong play
pushed Gurode out the door.
A hard worker as a rookie last year, he
playedinfour games andstartedonce, at
left guard. He became the first-teamcen-
ter at the start of camp because Gurode
was on the physically unable to perform
list.
Gurode got a chance toreclaimthe job
once he was healthy, moving straight to
the first team and starting the second
preseason game. But the Cowboys de-
cidedhe wasn’t somuchbetter thanCos-
ta that he was worth keeping, not when
they could also save $5.5 million against
the salary cap by cutting Gurode. They
liked the idea of finding out what they
might have in a 24-year-old instead of re-

“We felt like it was best move for us
right now,” Garrett said. “There’s noth-
ing purposeful in saying, ‘We’ve got to
get rid of all the old guys and sign all the
youngguys.’ That’s not what we’rethink-
ing. We’re just trying to make our team
as good as it can be right now.”

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Nda-
mukong Suh is answering ques-
tions againabout his style of play.
The Detroit Lions defensive end
hasn’t been asked by the one per-
sonwho concerns him.
“I’ll consider myself a dirty
player when my mom calls me a
dirty player,” he
saidMonday.
Suhis backin
the spotlight af-
ter an incident
with Patriots li-
neman Logan
Mankins dur-
ing a post-whis-
tlescuffleinDe-
troit’s 34-10 preseason win Satur-
day night.
Suh pointed out that an official
saw the entire play and that they
had discussed Suh’s attempt to
get Mankins awayfromtheLions’
Lawrence Jackson. Suh was not
called for a penalty, while Man-
kins received a personal foul for
grabbing Jackson’s face mask.
“I don’t regret it at all,” Suh
said. “What I findfunnyabout the
situation is that I wasn’t the one
called for the 15-yard face-mask
penalty, and I also didn’t know
you could get fined for defending
a teammate.”
He said he had a “great talk
about the play with the referee
who was right there.”
“He said in the future, I should
let them handle those situations,
but that he understood exactly
what I was trying to do,” he said.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz saw
the latest incident the same way.
“He was trying to get someone
off one of his teammate’s face
mask,” Schwartz said. “He didn’t
get a flag and the other guy got a
flag.”
Suh might see himself as a
peacemaker when it comes to his
teammates, but his motives are
totally different when it comes to
opposing quarterbacks.
The reigning NFL Defensive
Rookie of the Year was fined
$20,000 this preseason after
roughingupBengals quarterback
Andy Dalton. And he was fined
twice last year for hits on Chica-
go’s Jay Cutler during the regular
season and Cleveland’s Jake Del-
homme ina preseasongame.
This isn’t exactly an image Suh
shies away from, either.
“Last year, we earned respect,
but this year we want fear,” Suh
toldaCBSSports reporter during
Saturday’s broadcast. “We want
quarterbacks to fear us, and we
want offensive lines to fear us.”
Corey Williams plays next to
Suh at defensive tackle, and he
agreed entirely with the senti-
ment.
“We don’t want anyone to get
comfortable against us,” he said.
“We hit Tom Brady a lot of times
Saturday — more than he’s used
togettinghit —andhe didn’t like
it. That’s our goal.”

PITTSBURGH — Charlie
Batch and Dennis Dixon don’t
have to worry about losing their
jobs anymore, even if the Pitts-
burgh Steelers backup quarter-
backs would rather have taken a
different path to a steady pay-
check.
Byron Leftwich’s gruesome
broken left arm suffered in the
third quarter of a 34-16 win over
Atlanta on Saturday potentially
ended the veteran’s season and
gave both Batch and Dixon a re-
prieve from an unforgiving num-
bers game.
The Steelers started training
camp with four quarterbacks on
the roster, with either Batch or
Dixoncertaintobe jettisonedbe-
fore the season opener against
Baltimore on Sept. 11.
The duo has spent the last
month auditioning for the No. 3
spot behind Leftwich and Ben
Roethlisberger. Now they head
into the preseason finale on
Thursday at Carolina looking to
see who will be Roethlisberger’s
understudy.
The anxiety of being cut is
gone, sure, but not the competi-
tion.
“You still have to go out and
prove to Coach (Mike) Tomlin
that you’re capable of being the
next guy to step in and it never
ends,” Batch said. “It’s not going
toendat theendof thisweek... or
through the course of the sea-
son.”
Tomlinis innohurrytochoose
and didn’t rule out Leftwich’s
eventual return. The former first-
round pick underwent surgery
onMondaymorning, lessthan48
hours after his left (non-throw-
ing) arm was pinned awkwardly
to the turf while sliding for extra
yardage against the Falcons.
Batch says it was difficult to
watchhis goodfriendwrithingin
pain as he was taken off the field.
Yet Batchalsoknowsthejobgoes
on, leaving he and Dixon in a fa-
miliar position.
Ayear ago, thetwospent camp
jockeying for position behind
Leftwich, dubbed the starter af-
ter Roethlisberger was suspend-
ed four games for violating the
NFL’s personal conduct policy.
OnlyLeftwichnever madeit to
the regular season after injuring
his knee. Dixonstartedthe open-
er against Atlanta and played
well before going down a week
laterwithakneeinjuryof hisown
that eventually sent him to in-
jured reserve.
In stepped Batch, who turned
back the clock by helping keep
the team afloat until Roethlis-
berger returned.
Ayear later, the twoplayers on
opposite ends of their careers are
still going at it.
The 36-year-old Batch is sim-
ply hoping to hang on while the
25-year-old Dixon is anxious to
prove he’s ready to be a starter
evenif he’s well aware it will have
to happen in someplace other
than Pittsburgh.
Will Batch or Dixon claim the No. 2 spot?

EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J. —
The preseason bragging rights
for the New York metropolitan
area belong to the Jets, although
neither Rex Ryan’s team nor the
Giants have much to be happy
about.
Mark Sanchez threw a 17-yard
touchdown pass to Santonio
Holmes and the Jets capitalized
on two big special teams plays in
17-3 victory Monday night in a
preseason game delayed two
days by Hurricane Irene’s devas-
tating march up the East Coast.
Bilal Powell had a 1-yard TD
run in the fourth quarter and the
Jets defense intercepted Eli
Manning twice in what probably
will be the last major warmupfor
both teams’ starters before the
regular season.
The Jets (2-1) will face the Ea-
gles here Thursday. The Giants
(1-2) finish their preseason at
New England, also on Thursday.
The chippy game featured the
Giants’ Brandon Jacobs and the
Jets’ Muhammad Wilkerson be-
ing ejected for a fight, a lot of pe-
nalties and enough bad plays to
make Ryanandcounterpart Tom
Coughlin concerned with the
regular season less than two
weeks away.
The banged-up Giants also
had defensive end Justin Tuck
(stinger) andlinebacker Mathias
Kiwanuka (groin) leave the
game with injuries.
The Jets didn’t appear to have
any major injuries in the exhibi-
tion. They did have more big
plays in the game that was hyped
as Plaxico Burress’ first meeting
with the Giants since being re-
leased from prison.
Unlike a week ago when he
scored a touchdown, the Super
Bowl hero was shut out. He
didn’t catch any of the three pas-
ses that Sanchez threw in his di-
rection, and he even made the
wrong call in the pregame coin
toss.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —Bron-
cos coach John Fox isn’t reveal-
ing his quarterback rotation for
Thursday night’s preseason fi-
nale at Arizona.
It’s likely Brady Quinn will get
the start with Kyle Orton sitting
this one out. Quinn has outper-
formed Tim Te-
bow all sum-
mer and didn’t
play last week
against Seattle,
when Tebow
finished up
with another
inconsistent
performance.
With Quinn likely having se-
cured the job as Orton’s primary
backup, the bigger question
Thursday is whether he’ll split
snaps with Tebow or if Adam
Weber plays.
Weber, an undrafted free agent
from Minnesota, has been im-
pressive at practice but may not
get his shot to play in the presea-
son because the Broncos would
like to slip him through waivers
onto their practice squad. Play-
ing himcould expose himto oth-
er teams and quash those plans.
Weber said he anticipates
playing a couple of series at
least, but if the Broncos decide
not to expose him, he’s fine with
that.
“You just can’t worry about
that stuff,” Weber said. “My
whole focus is continuing to get
better every day and hopefully
getting a chance to go out there
and play and showthese coaches
and everybody that I can per-
form.
“I only try to focus on what I
can do, and if I don’t get out
there, I don’t get playing time, I
try not to worry about that.”
Weber said he hopes to stay in
Denver, even if that means play-
ing on the practice squad.

Brady Quinn is expected to
start Thursday with Orton
penciled in as No. 1.

2010 Record: 6-4
Key Losses: Kyle Christy
Key Players: Ryan Potuck, Sr.; Brent Christy,
Jr.; Race Sick, Jr.; Jimmy Dewitt, Jr.; Jake
Shaffer, Jr.; Sean Soltysiak, So.; Jimmy Lyons,
So.; Molly Hampsey, Fr.; Meg Wrubel, Fr.;
Brittany Sickler, Fr.; Sam Raposa, So.
Outlook: Only losing one senior from a year ago,
Tunkhannock should improve on last year’s
record. The Tigers have the core to pull some
upsets along the way.
Wyoming Area
Home Course: Fox Hill Country Club (Par 35)
Coach: Gordon Williams, 2nd year
2010 Record: 2-8
Key Losses: Stan Yanick
Key Players: Nick Rydzewski, Sr.; Zach
Mulhern, Jr.; Connor Mangan, Sr.; Jake Wysocki,
Jr.; Courtney Melvin, So.; Mike Carey, Jr.; Colin
Herron, So.
Outlook: One of many teams that have several
players returning from last year, the Warriors are
part of what makes the East Division such a
force. The Warriors’ Rydzewski is a premier
player in the conference and is someone to keep
an eye on in 2011.
Central Division
GAR
Home Course: Hollenback Golf Course (Par 36)
Coach: Chris Buzinkai, 6th year
2010 Record: 0-10
Key Losses: Chris Schiel
Key Players: Ryan Pavone, Sr.; Brian Klapat, Jr.;
Alec Niemiec, Jr.; Jeffrey Chintalla, Jr.; Tyler
Tyson, Sr.; Sean Paul Williamson, Fr.
Outlook: The Grenadiers will be trying for their
first win since 2009. There are only 10 players on
the team, but that’s more than some other teams.
The team is comprised of mostly juniors and
seniors and could help GAR break into the win
column.
Hanover Area
Home Course: Wyoming Valley Country Club
(Par 35)
Coach: Brian McDermott, 2nd year
2010 Record: 2-8
Key Losses: Rob Kost, Eric Killen
Key Players: Chris Jones, Jr., Matt Kocher, Jr.;
Fred Schiel, So.; Mike Steve, So.; Steve Dokas,
Jr.; Matt Kuhl, So.; Kyle Cunard, Jr.; Dominic
Vitale, Fr.
Outlook: McDermott has 18 players on the roster
this season and many of them played throughout
the summer. The Hawkeyes have a young
nucleus with no seniors, but there is much room
for improvement from last year’s season and
that’s very possible.
Holy Redeemer
Home Course: Wilkes-Barre Golf Club (Par 36)
Coach: Art Brunn Jr., 22nd year overall; 5th at
Holy Redeemer
2010 Record: 10-0 (North Division and WVC
Champion)
Key Losses: Mike Napkori, Donny DeRemer
Key Players: Matt Slavoski, So.; Will Fulton, Sr.;
Ryan DeRemer, Sr.; Chase Makowski, So.;
Mariano Medico, So.; Mike Boland, So.; Brian
Banas, So; John Kane, So.; John Yurkosky, So.;
Eric Jones, Sr.; Allie Banks, Sr.; Ryan Crossin,
Fr.
Outlook: Expectations for the team are sky high
both by the Royals themselves and other teams
in the conference. They claimed the league title
last year with just two seniors and have just three
seniors this season. Most of the team is under-
classmen so there’s not much reasoning as to
why Redeemer can’t repeat the 2010 year.
Meyers
Home Course: Wilkes-Barre Golf Club (Par 36)
Coach: Sean McLaughlin, 3rd year
2010 Record: 6-4
Key Losses: Rob Lehnart, Rob Reilly
Key Players: Tony Morrash, Sr.; Will Amesbury,
Jr.; Don Conrad, Jr.; Vito Pasone, Sr.
Outlook: The roster isn’t very big for the
Mohawks, but the players who will compete saw
a lot of time last year on the team that was close
to Holy Redeemer in score for two matches. The
team will be in contention of most of its matches
this season and should come close to or surpass
the 2010 mark for wins
Northern Division
Dallas
Home Course: Irem Temple Country Club (Par
36)
Coach: Tom Kilduff, 22nd year
2010 Record: 8-3
Key Losses: Zach Yursha, Nick Zabriski
Key Players: Austin Smith, Sr.; Rudy Georgetti,
Jr.; Ryan Georgetti, So.; Nigel Stearns; Justin
Brojakowski;
Outlook: Dallas is always near the top of the
division and this season shouldn’t be any
different as they have many returning players
from a year ago.
Lake-Lehman
Home Course: Huntsville Golf Club (Par 36)
Coach: Tom Motovidlak, 4th year
2010 Record: 2-9
Key Losses: Jeff Heath
Key Players: Nathan Rinehouse, Sr.; Robert Ide,
Jr.; John Butler, Jr.; Nicholas Egan, So.; Jeffrey
Carter, Jr.; Michael Murphy, Jr.
Outlook: The Black Knights could be one of
those teams that turn out to surprise some teams
when all is said and done. They play in a tough
division, but an improvement from last year’s
record should be an easy task. At the end of the
season, Lehman should be near the top of the
division.
Wyoming Seminary
Home Course: Huntsville Golf Club and
Applewood Golf Course (both par 36)
Coach: Tim Foran, 6th year
2010 Record: 6-5
Key Losses: Evan Leas, Ronnie Rose, Christian
Santarelli
Key Players: Frank Henry, Jr.; John Zirnheld,
So.; Gabi Coslett, So.
Outlook: According to Foran, the team will have
a rebuilding season with youth and not much
experience.
Wyoming Valley West
Home Course: Irem Temple Country Club (Par
36)
Coach: Gary Mack, 4th year
2010 Record: 10-1 (North Division Champion)
Key Losses: Nick Humphreys, Steve Brand
Key Players: Chris McCue, Jr., Colin Harrison,
Jr.; Ryan Hettes, Sr.; Chris Nixon, Jr.; Andrew
Crossin, So.; Nick Ostroski, Jr.; Leanne Dellarte,
So.; Evan Pirello, Jr.; Adam Merieski, Sr.
Outlook: Most of the team that claimed the
divisional crown in 2010 has returned for another
shot at a championship, including four starters.
The teams in the Spartans’ division have also
improved so the competition should be fun to
watch. Valley West should be around the top of
the division despite getting strong competition.
Brandon Matthews is already
the first three-time champion
of the Tryba Preseason Tourna-
ment.
Today, the Pittston Area star
will try to become the first
four-time winner as the ninth
annual event will be held at
Fox Hill Country Club.
Matthews, who won a PIAA
championship in 2010, is the
favorite for the event. He is
however expected to get chal-
lenged from Holy Redeemer
sophomores Chase Makowski
and Mariano Medico. Cough-
lin’s Shamus Gartley is a re-
turning regional qualifier and
is also expected to be near the
top of the leaderboard.
The Royals are also the fa-
vorite to claim the team title
after winning the champion-
ship last year. Redeemer pulled
out a close victory over Pitt-
ston Area to win the WVC
league title last year as well.
The Patriots should contend
with the Royals once again as
both teams have a slew of
returning talent.
There always seems to be a
few surprises in this tourna-
ment
One of them could come in
the team race from Crestwood
or Wyoming Valley West,
which are both coming off
division championships from a
year ago.
Here’s a closer look at every
team in the Wyoming Valley
Conference participating in
today’s tournament and the
season outlook for the partici-
pants.

Berwick
Home Course: Berwick Country Club (Par 36)
Coach: Joe Nespoli, 11th year
2010 Record: 9-3
Key Losses: Stephen Celli
Key Players: Ben Bower, Sr.; James Gaizick,
Sr.; Mike Gensel, Sr.; Brandon Haydt, Sr.; Gary
Hunt, Sr.; Steve Kuchka, Sr.; Jake Morrison, Sr.;
Brian Bridge, Jr.; Kyle Miller, Jr.; Eric May, Jr.;
Matt Dalo, So.; Ty Morzilla, So.; Ryan Stashko,
So.
Outlook: With a roster of 25 players, Berwick is
coming off a good season and didn’t lose much
from last year’s team. They also play at one of the
most intimidating courses in the WVC. They
should challenge Crestwood for the division title.
Crestwood
Home Course: Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club (Par
36)
Coach: Mark Jarolen, 24th year
2010 Record: 10-2 (Southern Division Cham-
pion)
Key Losses: Scott Lerman, Mark Mentrikoski,
Doug Mazonkey, Ian Richardson
Key Players: Keith Novatnak, Sr.; Joe Legg, Sr.;
Zach Ciavarella, Sr.; Jake Popowycz, Jr.;
Thomas Goyne, Jr.; Dave Supko, Jr.; Drew
Munisteri, Jr, Bill Dombroski, So.; Joe Hurn, So.
Outlook: The Comets had a successful year in
2010 coming off a league title in 2009. They have
many of last year’s young players returning and
could be in line for another division title.
Hazleton Area
Home Course: Sugarloaf Golf Club (Par 36)
Coach: Del Kelshaw, 17th year
2010 Record: 5-7
Key Losses: Josh Bayzick, John Medvecky,
Tom Delahanty
Key Players: Jared Piskorick, Sr.; Rich Gawel,
So.; Matt Alshefski, Sr.; T.J. Chirico, Sr.; Tyler
Rubasky, Sr.; Dave Mehalick, Jr.; Miranda Matz,
Jr.; Dylan French, Jr.; John Yeager, So.
Outlook: Piskorick is one of the top golfers in the
conference and is a three-year letterwinner for
the Cougars. The team also lost a strong senior
group from last year. But with a the experience of
Piskorick and Gawel, Hazleton Area should come
close to being better than last year’s record.
MMI
Home Course: Valley Country Club (Par 35)
Coach: Mike Morrison, 3rd year
2010 Record: 2-10
Key Losses: Ryan Forte
Key Players: Jeff Lotz, Jr.; Casey McCoy, Jr.;
Sean Reap, Jr.; Dominic Maduro, Jr.; Justin
Sheen, Jr.; Cassie Caldwell, Jr.; Sam Harmon,
Fr.; Emily Morrison, Fr.; Lew Dryfoos, Fr.
Outlook: Morrison and assistant coach Jeff Lotz
believe the team is “turning the corner” and that
they are optimistic about improving the record.
The six juniors have been playing together for
three years and are growing in experience. With
that skill, the Preppers could be primed for a
breakout season.
Nanticoke
Home Course: Edgewood in the Pines (Par
36)Coach: Nina Matzoni, 5th year
2010 Record: 0-12
Key Losses: Alex Passetti, Anthony Cardone,
Cael Evans, Jared Bartusek
Key Players: n/a Outlook: The Trojans are
coming off a down year, but with the help of
some up-and-comers, they could improve on that
mark.
Eastern Division
Coughlin
Home Course: Wilkes-Barre Golf Club (Par 36)
Coach: Mike Galli, 5th year
2010 Record: 5-5
Key Losses: Mike Goble
Key Players: Shamus Gartley, Jr.; Michael Post,
Jr.; Corey Hauser, So.; Tom Donato, Sr.; Daulton
Lentini, So.; Alex Grandersen, So.
Outlook: Only one starter was lost from last
year’s .500 record and optimism is running high
for the Crusaders this season. The team is still
fairly young with not many seniors, but the
underclassmen are experienced. Playing in a
tough division, the Crusaders will compete and
be near the top.
Pittston Area
Home Course: Fox Hill Country Club (Par 35)
Coach: Len Benfante, 20th year
2010 Record: 9-1 (East Division Champion)
Key Losses: None
Key Players: Brandon Matthews, Sr.; Ryan
Tracy, Jr.; Matt Carroll, Jr.; Chris Lynch, Jr.;
Calvin O’Boyle, Jr.; Matt Pierantoni, Jr.; Todd
Mitchell Sr.
Outlook: The Patriots have high expectations this
season and for good reason. They had a very
successful campaign in 2010 with haven’t lost
any starters from that squad. They also have a
returning state champion in Matthews. Pittston
Area is the favorite for the division title and a
contender to knock off Holy Redeemer for the
league title.

ham’s 3-4 system, Lindsey has
become the team’s “Panther” li-
nebacker, a defensive end/line-
backer hybridwhoplays the run,
rushes the quarterback and
drops back into pass coverage.
“Brandon will be the main guy
who impacts the quarterback,”
Graham said. “We’ll move him
around and make sure he adapts
comfortably to what he’s doing.”
It’s what’s required of players
from powerful Aliquippa High,
which provided a steady pipe-
line of impact players to the Pan-
thers through the years.
MikeDitka, SeanGilbert, Dar-
relle Revis and Jon Baldwin are
all among former Quips who
have thrived at Pitt before head-
ing to the NFL.
Even Heisman Trophy winner
Tony Dorsett, the school’s all-
time leading rusher, grew up in
Aliquippa, though he graduated
from nearby Hopewell High.
“It’s hard thinking about all
the greats that have come out of
Aliquippa and living up to what
they’ve accomplished,” Lindsey
said. “It’s a lot of pressure, but it
comes with the territory, being
from there. You’re expected to
be a great athlete and make
things happen in college.”
Lindsey had a pin inserted in
his left shoulder after it popped
out prior to a 23-17 loss at Notre
Dame last year, though he never
missed a game because of the in-
jury. After sitting out spring
practice and undergoing rehab
for his shoulder — which Lind-
sey said hasn’t bothered him
whatsoever since camp started
— Lindsey has tackled his new
role head on.
Though he’s still listed in the
team’s media guide as a defen-
sive end, Lindsey will begin ev-
ery play standing up — as op-
posed to firing out of a three-
point stance — and will assume
myriad responsibilities, often
dictated by the flowof the game.
So far, linebackers coach Ran-
dall McCray said Lindsey’s
toughest adjustment has been
dropping into pass coverage,
something he rarely did as a de-
fensive end. McCray also said
that Lindsey has improved sig-
nificantly at reading running
backs and offensive linemen to
decipher an opposing team’s
blocking scheme.
“He’s starting to understand
the intricacies of the position,”
McCray said, “and the role he’s
trying to play.”

Kvitova is the first reigning
Wimbledon women’s champion
to lose her first match at the U.S.

three times had the Wimbledon
winner bowed out as early as the
third round in New York: Shara-
pova in2004, Conchita Martinez
in 1994, and Billie Jean King in
1973.
“This is something new for
me,” Kvitova said about her new
status as Grand Slamchampion.
“I’ve felt a little pressure.”
She was the only seeded wom-
an to exit on Day 1 of the year’s
last major tournament, joined
on the way out by No. 15 Viktor
Troicki of Serbia, a 3-6, 6-3, 4-6,
7-5, 7-5 loser against Alejandro
Falla of Colombia.
At night, 2000-01 U.S. Open
champion Venus Williams
played her first match in two
months and beat 91st-ranked
Vesna Dolonts of Russia 6-4, 6-3.
Williams hit sixaces and28 total

lonts, who left Moscowat 4 a.m.
EDT and arrived at the Billie

ter at 4 p.m., after having flights
canceled Saturday and Sunday
because of Tropical StormIrene.
“Mygameis built onmyserve,
and of course, I like to follow it
up with a lot of aggressive play,”
said Williams, who pulled out of
recent tuneup tournaments be-
cause of a virus. “Andit’s great to
see a lot of those balls land in.”
In the day’s last match in Ar-
thur Ashe Stadium, 16-time ma-
jor winner Roger Federer was to
face 54th-ranked Santiago Giral-
do of Colombia.
Early winners included No. 8

ATLANTA — Former NBA
player Javaris Crittenton, who
was suspended from the league
for having guns in a locker room
with teammate Gilbert Arenas,
plans to surrender to face a mur-
der charge in a deadly Atlanta
shooting, an attorney said Mon-
day.
Crittentonwill flyfromLos An-
geles toAtlanta andshouldarrive
early Tuesday, said lawyer Brian
Steel.
“He offered to turn himself in,”
Steel told The Associated Press.
“He’s not guilty. We look forward
to getting it to the courts.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitu-
tionfirst reportedthat Crittenton
planned to surrender in Atlanta.
Police earlier obtained a mur-
der warrant for Crittenton in the
Aug. 19 shooting of 22-year-old
Jullian Jones, a mother of four
young children. Police say Jones
was walking with two men when
she was shot andthey believe one
of the men with her was the tar-
get.
Police spokesman Carlos Cam-
pos on Friday said the motive ap-
pears to be retaliation for a rob-
bery inApril, inwhichCrittenton
was a victim.
When asked about Steel’s
statement that Crittenton
planned to surrender, Atlanta po-
lice didn’t confirm it.
“Mr. Crittenton is wanted for
murder,” Sgt. Curtis Davenport
said late Monday. “We will be
pleased when he is taken into our
custody in a peaceful manner.”
When he was with the Wash-
ington Wizards in December
2009, Crittenton and Arenas had
a dispute over a card game on a
team flight. Two days later, Are-
nas brought four guns to the lock-
er room and set them in front of
Crittenton’s locker with a sign
telling him to “PICK 1.” Critten-
ton then took out his own gun.
Crittentonpleadedguilty inJa-
nuary 2010 to a misdemeanor
gun charge and received a year of
unsupervised probation. Arenas
entered his guilty plea on Jan. 15.
He served a short time in a half-
way house.
Steel said he was retained by
Crittenton’s family on Monday
morning.

Home prices
Home prices are stuck at 2003
levels. The S&P/Case-Shiller
Home Price Index rose in May for
a second month, but the gains
have been tiny compared with the
drop that began in 2006. June
figures for the index arrive today.
The weak job market means fewer
people can afford homes, and
tough lending requirements are
shrinking the pool of buyers. Sales
of new homes fell in July for a third
month. Sales of previously occu-
pied homes are also weak.
Fed thinking
A lot of questions came out of the Federal Reserve’s Aug. 9
meeting, and economists hope for answers from the minutes
of the meeting. Among the questions: What “range of policy
tools” did the Fed discuss to
help the economy? How did
the Fed come up with the
“mid-2013” date, through
which it pledged to keep inter-
est rates at nearly zero? While
the minutes “won’t provide all
the answers, the report may
include some interesting
details,” Credit Suisse econo-
mists say.
Sagging confidence?
The Conference Board’s monthly
survey of consumers will show how
much damage the stock market’s
plunge this month has done to their
confidence about the economy.
The Dow rose or fell by 400 points
in four straight days for the first
time in its history, and the volatile
market has investors on edge.
That is combining with a weak job
market to make everyone nervous.
Economists expect the Consumer
Confidence Index to fall to its
lowest level since October.

Storm can’t stop stocks
Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by
insurance companies, after it became
clear that Hurricane Irene caused far
less damage than many had feared.
Trading volume, or the number of
shares bought and sold, was the lowest
since July 26 as many traders struggled
to get to work in Lower Manhattan or
were still on vacation.
Utilities companies also rose after it
became clear their storm-related ex-
penses would be lower than earlier
estimates.
An increase in consumer spending
also helped push stocks higher. The
government reported that spending
rose 0.8 percent in July. It was a sharp
turnaround from June, when Amer-
icans spent less for the first time in
nearly two years.
Obama names top adviser
President Barack Obama named
labor economist Alan Krueger to chair
the White House Council of Economic
Advisers Monday as the White House
scrambles for solutions to repair an
ailing economy ahead of the 2012 elec-
tion.
The president said he expected
Krueger, a former Treasury Depart-
ment official and Princeton economist,
to provide him with unvarnished eco-
nomic guidance, not partisan political
advice.
The announcement rounding out the
president’s economic team comes a
week ahead of Obama’s highly antici-
pated announcement on a new jobs
initiative.
Treasury rates stable
The Treasury Department auctioned
$29 billion in three-month bills on
Monday at a discount rate of 0.015
percent, the same as last week. Anoth-
er $27 billion in six-month bills was
auctioned at a discount rate of 0.045
percent, also unchanged from last
week.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said
the average yield for one-year Treasury
bills, a popular index for making chang-
es in adjustable-rate mortgages, fell to
0.10 percent last week from 0.11 per-
cent.

BLACKBERRY MAK-
ER Research In Mo-
tion has been in
trouble for the last
few years – a dwin-
dling user base, an
aging brand and
slumping sales had all come togeth-
er to make a perfect storm.
After several attempts to rectify
the situation – the release of a tablet
device, several slightly more flashy
phones and some tepid marketing
campaigns, Blackberry has finally
decided to throw in the towel and
call in the Droids.
Blackberry has announced that its
Playbook tablet will get a software
update that will allow the devices to
run Android applications – al-
though, in an odd twist, not the
apps intended for tablet devices.
This move is intended to counter a
somewhat tepid app library and a
smaller development community
that may have been holding the
brand back.
Even though the move has been
confirmed only for the Playbook
tablet, it stands to reason they’ll
incorporate the ability into their
smartphones as well.
Blackberry has had a core of dedi-
cated loyalists for years. At one
time, it was the hot high-tech de-
vice.
It offers heavily encrypted mess-
aging and email protocols that can
interface seamlessly with enterprise
email systems. Blackberry’s oper-
ating system is based on QNX, an
extremely secure and stable plat-
form. Many of today’s high-powered
executives came up through the
ranks with a Blackberry clutched in
their hand, and now that they’ve
mastered it, they may be reluctant
to move to a new platform.
Moreover, no Apple devices, and
few that use Android offer a physical
keyboard. Those that do are seldom
as well-developed as a Blackberry.
So how will this work? Blackberry
is going to build an Android em-
ulator – a program that provides an
environment for applications to run
– into the Blackberry operating
system. So your Blackberry will still
have the same old
interface, it will just
be able to run An-
droid apps.
Because the apps
will be running on
an emulator, it’s
certainly possible there will be per-
formance issues, or that some fea-
tures won’t work. But it will go a
long way toward allowing Black-
berry users to have their cake and
eat it, too. At the very least, it
should slow the erosion of Black-
berry market share somewhat.
There are a slew of new Black-
berry devices in the pipeline for
2012, so it shouldn’t be long before
we see whether the strategy pays
off.

Some local economic observers say the
three-tenths of a percentage point in-
crease in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre re-
gion’s unemployment rate from June to
July is not a cause for alarm because the
year-over-yearrateisdownandthefactors
behind the monthly rise are easily ex-
plainable and were expected.
Steven Zellers, an industry and busi-
ness analyst with the state’s Center for
Workforce Information&Analysis, noted
many of the July job losses were seasonal
and related to the operations of schools,
including teaching aides, cafeteria and
support staff, and bus drivers.
“Most everything in (the report) is typ-
ical seasonal movement,” Zellers said.
“Usually it begins to improve in August
when schools go back into session.”
“Any time your unemployment rate
goes up, it’s not good news,” he said, not-
ing this occurs each July. The region’s 9.4
percent unemployment rateinJulyis well
below last July’s 9.8 percent.The region’s
9.4 percent rate is againthe highest inthe
state.
The sluggishjobs picture has one econ-
omist concerned.
Anthony Liuzzo, director of the master
of business administration program at
Wilkes University, said he had believed
that a “double-dip recession” was not in
the cards. But after seeing the unemploy-
ment rate continue to rise locally and
statewide and hover around 9 percent na-
tionally, “I’ma little more concerned now
than I was a fewmonths ago,” he said.
While the rate is better than last year,
it’s not as good as he was hoping for.
Liuzzo said the report tells him “we’ve
got basically a stalled economy at this
point.”
“It’s frustrating and disheartening, es-
peciallyfor thepeoplewhoareunemploy-
ed,” Liuzzo said.
Zellers said June and July often lag be-
cause of the combination of education-re-
lated jobs being lost for the summer cou-
pled with the high school and college stu-
dents and graduates entering the work
force.
Dana Harris, a Keystone College busi-
ness professor, said the report has a big
negative, the increase in the unemploy-
ment rate, but plenty of positives, too.
“Noone likes tosee the unemployment
rate go up,” Harris said, but noted that
looking at the reports month-by-month
only tells a small portion of the story. She
said looking at the “long-run trend” is
what economists do, and when you do
that she said she sees positives.
“Althoughyou’re lookingat anincrease
this month compared to the month be-
fore, if you look at the long-run trend, it is
improvingfromyear-to-year,” Harris said.
She said that although “it’s not as robust
as an improvement, at least it’s an im-
provement.”
The region’s seasonally adjusted total
non-farmjobs remained unchanged in Ju-
ly fromJune at 254,000, but over the past
year, that total is up by 2,000.
Christine Jensen, the executive direc-
tor of the CareerLink in Wilkes-Barre,
said the number of people stopping in to
the CareerLink office the past month or
twohasdecreasedbut saidtheseason, not
a decrease in jobs, is the reason.
She noted there is no shortage of avail-
able jobs inthe county. She saidher office
receives notices of openings daily and
urged those who are searching to stop in.
Analysts: Area jobless rate hike no cause for panic

NEW YORK — Homeowners in the
East are picking up the soggy pieces
and assessing the damage after Irene
swept through.
Thestormtouchedcommunities ina
dozen states and left an estimated $3
billion to $7 billion of mangled siding,
downed trees and worse in its wake.
If youhaddamage, the easiest wayto
begin a claim is by contacting your
agent. Insurers also have toll-free hot-
lines to accept initial filings and most
also will allow customers to start a
claim online. A number of companies
offer smartphone apps that can get the
process rolling, as well.
Start the claims process as soon as
possible.
Check your policy to make sure
you’re covered for hurricane damage,
and what your hurricane deductible is.
Inareas where hurricanes are less com-
mon, deductibles can be high.
Pictures arehelpful, especiallyif they
can be compared with “before” photos.
Don’t throwaway damaged items until
an adjuster sees them. Items that are
unsafe can be photographed and dis-
carded if necessary.
If the house can’t be occupied, make
sure to keep receipts for any hotel
rooms and any associated expenses.
Insurers expect homeowners to pro-
tect their property from further dam-
age whenever possible.
Duringthis process, keepalist of any
steps you’ve taken and a complete list
of the supplies you’ve purchased.
Homeowner’s insurance policies
rarelycover flood-relateddamage. Inal-
most all cases, separatefloodinsurance
is required.
If you don’t have flood insurance,
theremaybefederal disaster assistance
available. All of the states impacted by
Irene declared disasters, many before
the stormhit, which is required for fed-
eral help to kick in. That may come in
the formof grants or low-cost loans.

Help after the storm

WASHINGTON—If you’reangrythat
Wall Street speculators have been driv-
ing up the price you pay for gasoline,
these same big financial investors now
are pushing up the price of your cup of
joe.
Grocery shoppers have seen whop-
ping increases this year in the price of a
can of ordinary coffee, whether it’s a ge-
neric store brand or better-known ones
such as Folgers and Maxwell House.
Since spring, coffee has been selling at
$7 to $8 a can in many parts of the coun-
try, or about twice the price of a gallonof
gas.
Theretail priceof coffeeinJulywas up
20.7 percent over the same month last
year, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, which tracks changes in gro-
cery store prices. Big coffee marketers
have trimmed prices a bit for consumers
in recent weeks, but the price of con-
tracts for future delivery of coffee contin-
ues to rise unabated.
What gives?
Coffee-industry veterans blame finan-
cial speculators. They say they’re taking
advantage of global supply hiccups to
drive up coffee prices by adding volatil-
ity to the trading of contracts for future
delivery of coffee. “It’s definitely not
purely supply and demand; it’s way too
volatile,” said Shawn Hamilton, the vice
president of operations and a veteran
coffee buyer for Java CityinSacramento,
Calif.
Experts say that global consumption
of coffee is up, particularly in China and
coffee-producing Brazil. There’s also
beena weather-relateddipinproduction
from coffee-rich Colombia.

StocksRecap
Christina Rexrode, Elizabeth Gramling • AP
When Zipcar went
public April 14, the stock
in the car sharing
company soared nearly
75 percent from its
offering price of $18. It
traded as high as $31.50
– and then began
backtracking to its
current $19 range as the
stock market went into a
correction. CEO Scott
Griffith doesn’t seem
fazed. He’s focusing on
growth. Zipcar operates
in more than 60 cities in
the U.S., Canada and
Britain and wants to
further expand overseas.
Griffith says he’s also
concerned about
keeping the entrepre-
neurial spirit alive in a
company that has gone
from 15 employees when
he joined it eight years
ago to 700. He spoke
with The Associated
Press recently. Some
excerpts from the
interview:
It’s been four
months since Zipcar
went public. What’s the
main difference it has
made in your job?
I think the big
challenge was, “How do I
add 25 percent to my
day to focus on Wall
Street and investors and
public company things?”
I didn’t exactly have 25
percent of my day free,
but if you have a strong
team you can offload
some of the things that
you used to do. But for
the first few months that
can be a bitter and
unnatural act.
So how do you feel
about the stock price?
The performance of
the stock has been in
lockstep with what we
had hoped for. It’s not a
friendly time to be a
public company. But
we’re a company that
went public for all the
right reasons. It wasn’t
an exit for (the
company’s initial)
investors, it’s to supply
long-term capital for a
market that we thought
was exciting. When
you’re going public for all
the right reasons, you
don’t really have time to
time the market. Good
companies should be
able to go public at any
time.
What was the most
important thing you
told your workers as
the company prepared
to go public?
The biggest message
is that this is the
beginning of something
new, not the end of
something we used to
do. We distributed
options in the company,
so they’re excited by the
opportunity to grow
shareholder value and
they’ve got some skin in
the game. The stock
market is causing some
anxiety and we’re getting
questions about that. We
tell them we need to
focus on the long term
and the rest will work
itself out.

First Full Last New
Sept. 4 Sept. 12 Sept. 20 Sept. 27
This month I’ve
measured just
over 12 inches of
rain here in
Luzerne County,
our wettest
August since
1955, when
hurricanes
Connie and
Diane blew
through. With
the hurricane
season expected
to be more
active than nor-
mal, I suppose
our chances
over the next 3
months of get-
ting hit with
another record
rain event from
the tropics is
above average.
Unfortunately, as
man continues
to develop our
lands, increasing
the acreage of
impervious sur-
face, the amount
of runoff that
causes flash
flooding is
increasing. Year
by year the
danger of flood-
ing is getting
worse.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: The United States will be mostly dry today. High pressure building into the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic will provide much needed drying conditions. Some scattered showers and
thunderstorms will be possible throughout the coastal Southeast. Isolated showers and thunder-
storms will also be possible over parts of the Great Lakes and northern Mississippi Valley.

IN BRIEF
Q: Do youhave
any simple strate-
gies to help me eat
less andto feel less
hungry? I eat the
right foods —I
just eat too much!
—M.A.,
Orlando, Fla.
A: Fromresearchconductedby Dr.
BrianWansink of Cornell University,
what andhowmuchwe eat is influ-
encedby who we’re eating with,
container/bowl/plate size, colors,
smells, shapes, cupboards andsim-
ple distractions suchas TVor con-
versation.
Inone example, Wansink’s re-
searchteamworkedwithtwo groups
of volunteers: one who hadanend-
less bowl of soup, anda second
group who ate froma regular bowl.
Those inthe endless bowl group ate
73 percent more fooduntil they
thought they were full, comparedto
those inthe normal bowl group. This
confirmedWansink’s hypothesis that
our eyes are the mainfactor indeter-
mining whenwe’re full. He calls this
“mindless eating.” Another example
involvedthe use of freshandstale
popcornindifferent size containers.
Inthis study, Wansink foundthat
those withthe extra-large containers
ate 45 percent more freshpopcorn
thanthose withfreshpopcornin
large containers. What’s evenmore
interesting is that the stale popcorn
eaters who ate fromthe extra-large
containers ate 34 percent more than
those who ate freshpopcornfrom
the large containers. Wansink’s re-
searchoffers these additional sug-
gestions to help withportioncontrol:
Use smaller bowls, glasses and
plates; don’t eat withthe TVon
(many will not stop eating until what
they’re watching is over); eat fruit
before snacking; eat a hot breakfast;
andeat veggies andsaladfirst. I can
addtwo more suggestions: drink two
glasses of water before eachmeal;
andengage inpleasant, no-stress
conversationwhile eating to create a
distraction.
Q: My husbandhadrobotic sur-
gery for Stage1prostate cancer. He
canhave orgasms, but he does not
have erections. Will that ever
change? My husbandis 60 years old
andI’m50.
—Anonymous, Philadelphia.
A: It wouldbe helpful for me to
knowwhenyour husbandhadhis
robotic surgery, since sexual side
effects fromrecent surgery often
improve significantly within3 to12
months after robotic prostate remov-
al surgery. Asignificantly lower risk
of permanent impotence is the big-
gest advantage of robotic-assisted
prostate cancer surgery over the
traditional radical prostate cancer
surgery. Still, there’s a chance that
impotence will remain.
It may surprise many folks to learn
that a male orgasmcanoccur inde-
pendently of anerection. Even
thoughwe think of themas sequen-
tial andconnectedevents, they
actually are two separate processes.
If time does not improve the sit-
uation, anddrugs like Viagra or
Cialis are ineffective, there are other
treatment options suchas penile
injections, vacuumerectiondevices
or penile implants.
Keep inmindthat after prostate
cancer surgery, evenif erectioncan
be achieved, ejaculationis impos-
sible due to the removal of the semi-
nal vesicles andthe vas deferens.

Ground turkey could use a good
hug, or one of those spin-
meisters that politicos use
during a personal crisis. In
any event, the recent salm-
onella outbreak that led to
the recall of 36 million

Cargill has turned off many
to this healthy protein option.

N U T R I T I O N Q U I Z Turkey burgers
The spin on arugula
Known as rocket in the U.K., roquette
in France, roka in Turkey and rucola
by Italian immigrants who brought it
to the U.S., this tangy, aromatic green
has fans worldwide.
· Best known for its use in salads,
arugulaҋs peppery taste pairs well
with extra virgin olive oil, aged
balsamic vinegar, cheese shavings
and fresh fruit
· Also good sauteed with garlic and
olive oil, blended with olive oil, pine
nuts and parmesan for a pesto-like
sauce, tossed on pizza before
baking or added to sandwiches
· From the plant family that includes
cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower,
arugula is low in calories, high
in disease-fighting nutrients

The popularity of “toning”
shoes, whose unstable soles re-
quire you to work muscles harder to stay
balanced, suggests consumers are bank-
ingonit.
Sales of toning shoes, which cost from
$70toupwards of $200andhaveenlisted
celebrities like Kim Kardashian and
WayneGretzkytotout their fitness bene-
fits, soared to $736 million in 2010 from
$145milliontheyear beforethankstothe
entry of more than a dozen brands into
themarket, accordingtomarket research
firmNPDGroup.
The ads for many of the shoes, show-
casing women with enviably sculpted
legs (there are toning shoes for men but
the customer base is overwhelmingly fe-
male), say that wearing them will help
youburnmorecalories, tonemusclesand
improve posture. Most manufacturers
compare the experience of wearing their
shoes towalkingonsand.
Foot doctors for years have been pre-
scribingshoeswithunstablesolestohelp
wobbleboard technology in the midsole,
have found they reduce foot pressure by
an average of 25 percent and can absorb
22percent more shockinthe lower legs.
Whether that translates to a better
backside is sketchy.

Seventy percent of kids who
abuse prescription drugs get them
fromfamily and friends, according
to the National Family Partner-
ship, amajor drugpreventionorga-
nization. “The No. 1 mistake par-
ents make is thinking it can’t hap-
pen to their child,” says Peggy
Sapp, president of the partnership.
Some tips:
•Recognizetherisk. Whilemar-
ijuana is the drug most commonly
abused by teenagers, prescription
drugs —includingpainkillers, am-
phetamines and medication for at-
tentiondeficit disorder —are high
on the list. So are over-the-counter
cough medications.
• Explain the risk. Make sure
kids know that using prescription
drugs incorrectly can be just as
dangerous and addictive as taking
illegal drugs; many teens think
they’re “safer.” Start talking early:
the average age of first drug use is
12
1
⁄2 years.
• Store drugs safely. A locked
medicine cabinet is ideal. Also do
regular inventories of your supply
to make sure none is missing, as
well as to toss old prescriptions.
• Dispose of drugs safely. Look
for “take-back” events organized
by local drug stores or police de-
partments. If you put medication
inthetrash, mixit withcat litter or
coffee grounds so kids won’t dig it
out. To protect waterways, don’t
flush pills down the toilet.
•Setagoodexample. Takemed-
icines only as directed, and don’t
shareprescriptionsbetweenfamily
members. Teach kids that medica-
tions are meant for one person at a
certain dose.
•Have family dinners. Ask kids
about the best and worst parts of
their day. Childrenwholearntoex-
press their emotions and solve
their problems are less likely to
turn to drugs.
• Get to know your child’s
friends. Takethetimetomeet their
parents, too. Theycanhelpprotect
your kids and notice symptoms
such as dramatic personality
changes, loss of appetite or blood-
shot eyes.
• Collect information. Go to

How to guard medicine in your home
By ALISON JOHNSON
Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)
Backpack. Notebooks. Whoop-
ingcoughshot?
If you haven’t worried about
back-to-school shots since your
tweenor teenwas enteringkinder-
garten, better put vaccines on the
to-dolist.
Older kids need a few new im-
munizations starting at age 11, in-
cluding a shot to guard against the
worrisome resurgence of whoop-
ing cough. And for the first time
thisyear,16-year-oldsaresupposed
togetaboostershot, too, forascary
type of meningitis.
Many slip through the cracks.
One reason: Schools don’t require
adolescentstocomplywithalist of
national vaccine recommenda-
tions like they dokindergarteners.
Another reason: “Kids this age
go to the doctor much less,” says
Dr. Melinda Wharton of the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, whohadtoscrambletoget
her own daughter that meningitis
shot before she headedtocollege.
“Thiswholeback-to-school push
is a good time for parents to think
about their kids in terms of what
vaccines are recommended.”
But when it comes to whooping
cough, a growingnumber of states
are requiring updated shots as stu-
dents enter middle school and be-
yond. Asidefromanannual fluvac-
cine, herearefederal recommenda-
tions for preteens andteens:
• A Tdap shot between ages 11
and12. It protects against tetanus,
diphtheriaandpertussisorwhoop-
ingcough—andthelatteriskeyas
the cough that’s so strong it can
breaka ribis onthe rise.
Young children get vaccinated
before kindergarten but that pro-
tectionwearsoff, andpertussisout-
breaks in middle or high school no
longer are rare. While older kids
usually recover, whooping cough
can cause weeks of misery — and
worse, they can easily spread the
bacterial infection to not-yet-vacci-
natedinfants, whocandie.
•Afirstdoseof what’scalledme-
ningococcal conjugate vaccine be-
tweenages11and12, withabooster
dose at16.
This fast-moving bacteria can
cause meningitis or a bloodstream
infection. It’sfortunatelyrare, caus-
ing fewer than 2,000 cases a year.
But it can be so aggressive that
someone can feel fine one day and
bedeadthenext—anditsmaintar-
gets are adolescents and college
freshmen. Why? That’s not clear,
but about 10 percent of the popula-
tioncarries thegermharmlesslyin
their noses and throats. Carriers
tendtospreadit by coughing, kiss-
ing and sharing drinking glasses,
especially in crowded conditions
like dormitories.
Infection initially mimics a stom-
achbug, withfeverandvomiting. Up
to15 percent of patients die. One in
fivesurvivors suffers permanent dis-
abilities including brain damage,
deafness or amputatedlimbs.
CDC’s statistics show that 54
percent of 13- to 17-year-olds had
gottenvaccinatedby 2009. But the
booster dose is new advice — sci-
entists only recently learned that
that first dose wears off after five
years. Soif yourchilddidn’tgetvac-
cinated until, say, 13 and nowis 18
and heading for college, Wharton
says don’t forget the booster.
• Finally for girls ages 11 to 12,
there’s the HPVvaccine for strains
of human papillomavirus that can
causecervical cancer. Theideaisto
start the three doses needed early
enough to be fully vaccinated well
beforethegirl becomessexuallyac-
tive. But in2009, only27percent of
girls ages 13 to 17 had gotten all
three doses.
“We were very disappointed in
those numbers,” Whartonsays.
Avaccineversionissoldfor boys
to prevent HPV-caused genital
warts, althoughCDChasn’tyetrec-
ommendedits routine use.
Wharton’s final advice: Adoles-
cence is a goodtime tocatchupon
any shots that were recommended
after your child started kindergar-
ten and thus missed, like the sec-
ond dose of chickenpox vaccine
that became routine for the 5-year-
oldset just a fewyears ago.

San Diego-based consulting
company. He has more than 30
years of experience and is a
nationally known expert on
health care strategies for the
new millennium.
“As we witnessed with the
recent collapse of the tech and
housing bubbles, the health
care bubble will collapse be-
fore 2020,” stated Kaufman.
“It’s simply unsustainable.”
Kaufman said the cost to in-
sure a family of four in the
United States has more than
doubled since 1991 and is pro-
jected to double again in the
next decade.
“The United States has over
$650 million in annual health
care costs which are not corre-
lated by any other peer na-
tion,” Kaufman explained.
“Defensive medicine is respon-
sible for much of that waste
and is unique to the U.S.”
MedicineNet.com defines
defensive medicine as “medi-
cal practices designed to avert
the future possibility of mal-
practice suits.”
“Programs like Geisinger
Healthcare System are stan-
dard bearers for the industry,”
Kaufman added. “Their model
has shown that quality man-
aged care can produce favor-
able results with substantial
cost savings.”
Kaufman praised Geisin-
ger’s Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Glenn D. Steele for his vi-
sion and leadership in the in-
dustry and urged other health
care administrators to follow
Geisinger’s model. He also
said he’s encouraged by some
of the solutions being pro-
posed by legislators such as
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wiscon-
sin, to reign in runaway Medi-
care costs.
“Seventy-five percent of all
Medicare dollars go to only 25
percent of Medicare recip-
ients,” Kaufman explained.
“That disparity alone is alarm-
ing.”
“The bottom line is, every-
one makes too much money in
our current system,” Kaufman
said. “From doctors to nurses
to hospitals. We must work to-
gether to as a nation to im-
prove and health through
proper living and an efficient
and cost-effective health care
delivery system.”

“Seventy-five percent of all Medicare dollars go to
only 25 percent of Medicare recipients. That dis-
parity alone is alarming.”
Nathan S. Kaufman
Managing director and founder of Kaufman Strategic Advisors, LLC, on the
problems with the nation’s current health care system
tivitywas28percent greaterinbut-
tocks muscles and11percent grea-
ter in calf muscles for wearers of
EasyTones versus a regular Ree-
bok walking shoe.
Neither company provides gui-
delines for how long or frequently
people should wear the shoes to
see benefits. They say the shoes
are not meant to replace the gym,
but rather help people “get more
out of everystep,”saidLeonardAr-
mato, president of Skechers Fit-
ness Group.
In search of an independent as-
sessment, the American Council
on Exercise last year sponsored a
study that found that walking in
Sketchers Shape-ups, Reebok
EasyTone Reenspire or MBTs was
no more effective at burning calo-
ries or workingmuscles thanwalk-
ing in a regular New Balance run-
ning shoe. The researchers, from
the Exercise and Health Program
at the University of Wisconsin at
La Crosse, tested muscle activity
in the calves, quadriceps, hamstr-
ings, gluteus, abdominals and low-
er back.
Even if muscles do work harder
at first to overcome the instability,
the effect dissipates as muscles ad-
just, said Cedric Bryant, chief sci-
ence officer for the American
Council on Exercise.
But there could be an indirect
benefit if toning shoes are encou-
raging people to walk more,
Bryant said. Almost all of the test
subjects in the ACE study told the
researchers that the toning shoes
were more comfortable than tradi-
tional running shoes, he said.
Toning shoe companies can cite
thousands of testimonials from
happy customers, but not every-
one’s satisfied.
Several lawsuits claiming mis-
leadingadvertisinghave beenfiled
against toningshoemanufacturers
fromReebok to NewBalance, and
last summer Skechers was named
in a federal class action lawsuit al-
leging Shape-ups offer no health
benefit beyondwhat regularsneak-
ers provide and can cause injury.
This February, an Ohio woman fil-
ed a lawsuit claiming that wearing
Skechers Shape-ups led her to de-
velop hip fractures.
In a review of injury reports on
SaferProducts.gov, a site run by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, Consumer Reports
identified 36 complaints between
March and May associated with
toning shoes. Most of the reported
injuries were minor, including ten-
dinitis and foot, leg, and hip pain,
but 15 involved broken bones from
falls, some requiring surgery.
No studies have suggested that
toning shoes are dangerous or
cause pain, according to an article
this summer put out by the Amer-
ican Orthopaedic Society for
Sports Medicine.
Manufacturers say their shoes
are safe if used properly.
“Just as the millions of pairs of
high-heel shoes that are sold an-
nually aren’t suitable for everyone,
Shape-ups may not be either,” said
Skechers’ Armato. Shape-ups
come with instructions and users
are advised to limit wearing them
to 25 to 45 minutes per day for the
first two weeks, increasing usage
time in 5- to10-minute increments
thereafter only if they’re comfort-
able doing so. They should not be
used for running.
Podiatrist Paul Langerof TwinCi-
ties Orthopedics in Minneapolis
saidthat althoughmuscles likely do
work harder to overcome the insta-
bilityoftheshoes, heisskeptical that
it’s to the extent that it will actually
burn fat and boost muscle tone.
What they can do, Langer said,
is redistributethepressureonyour
foot, alleviating stress and strain
on the joints, which is helpful for
people suffering from arthritis in
the foot. People should treat the
shoes like fitness tools, Langer
said. The most problems he sees
are fromoveruse.

Podiatrist Paul Langer offered
these tips if you plan to buy toning
shoes:
• Don’t wear them if you have
poor balance.
• Try on different kinds to assess
which are most comfortable and
suitable to your needs.
• Avoid cheap knock-offs, which
tend to be flimsy on the sides.
• The shoes can be heavy, some
weighing more than 16 ounces per
shoe. Take that into account when
buying, as heavier shoes can
cause more muscle soreness.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: “Insult-
ed in Ohio” (July 9)
was offended because
she’s being asked
at bridal and baby
showers to address
a blank envelope so
the honoree can send
her a thank-you note. Good heavens,
lady, calm down.
At a shower, you are celebrating a
milestone event in a young woman’s
life. Your gift will help her during the
next phase of her life. These joyous
events can be stressful and require
a lot of preparation. I’m sure the
hostess’s intent in asking guests to
perform this minor task is to ease the
honoree’s responsibilities. It also en-
sures the addresses appear correctly
on the envelopes and everyone is
accounted for on the gift list. Is that
really so “insulting”?
“Ohio,” if you feel so imposed-upon
being asked do do such a simple
thing, may I offer a suggestion? Gift
the honoree with your “regrets” and
leave your judgmental attitude at
home. (I’ll bet you count the days un-
til you’re thanked, too.)
— Gail in Nacogdoches, Texas
Dear Gail: Thank-you notes are a
hot-button issue with my readers, and
frankly, I am surprised more of you
didn’t stick up for “Insulted.” Howev-
er, I stand firm in my conviction that
the more personal the thank-you note
(including the envelope), the better.
My newspaper readers comment:
Dear Abby: With the advent of
email, social networking and online
invitation sites, mailing addresses
are used less often. I’d be hard-
pressed to find the street addresses
of some of my closest friends and
relatives. As part of the younger
generation, I’m more comfortable
with email. If I were hosting one
of these events, I’d have to kindly
ask guests to write down their ad-
dresses for me to use later for thank-
yous. And because it’s being done
on paper, it might as well be on the
envelopes — a practical, time-saving
solution.
— Jenny in Quebec, Canada
Dear Abby: I’m also from Ohio, and
I was insulted, too. It appalled me
being asked to address my own fu-
ture thank-you envelope. And would
you like to know the kicker? I never
received the envelope or a thank-you
after the shower.
— Carla T.
Dear Abby: While the practice does
seem a little over the top, there are
creative alternatives. At a baby show-
er, my sisters gave everyone index
cards and asked them to write down
their name and address and guess
the baby’s birth weight and length.
The guest who came closest would be
mailed a prize. It was a way to ensure
I had everyone’s address for thank-
you cards. At bridal showers, a blank
address book can be passed around
for guests to write their contact infor-
mation. The book is then presented
to the bride for her new home.
— Melanie in the Midwest
Dear Abby: To save a busy bride or
mother-to-be time and effort, address-
ing my envelope is another “gift” I
can give her. All the envelopes could
then be placed in a basket, with one
being drawn for the “door prize.”
— Lynn in Duluth, Minn.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Debate about bridal shower thank-you notes boils over among readers
To receive a collection of Abby’s most
memorable — and most frequently re-
quested — poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll
get the idea that break time is
over. Crack down on self-disci-
pline. The more leeway you give
yourself the further away from
your goals you will stray.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid
making assumptions about
another person — you’re not
likely to assume the right thing.
Instead, ask questions, even if it
means you risk looking foolish.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You see
the light at the end of the tun-
nel, and you keep going toward
it because you know it’s the right
way. Still, there’s no reason not
to enjoy your time and travels
during this contained part of
your journey.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Everything you own needs main-
tenance. You’ll decide whether
or not the time you put into
keeping a certain possession
clean and orderly is really worth
the value of the thing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Human
behavior can be somewhat of a
puzzle. You’re willing to experi-
ment, turning the pieces and try-
ing different arrangements until
something clicks.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want
your loved ones to be enter-
tained in the way they find most
delightful. You’ll observe what
makes them laugh and note
what holds their attention.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be
so worried about giving just as
much as the other person gives.
It may, in fact, be a bad idea to
balance the scales. Someone
wants to be the bigger giver and
will be disappointed if you try to
outdo every gift.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take
a break from trying to improve
yourself. What you need more
than anything is rest. Also,
self-acceptance will carry your
efforts much further than con-
stant internal criticism.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You have interesting and useful
talents now. You will be able to
control your emotions, curb your
cravings and fit into whatever
social situation you happen to
come across.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Political and moral agendas may
be at odds now. Someone needs
your agreement in order to
move forward. However, you may
not be able to give this approval
in good conscience.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
won’t care whether or not you
are the most amazing player
on the scene. You just want to
get into the game and have
some fun.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One
of the most formidable obsta-
cles you will encounter in the
managing of your mood is the
emotional tone of others. Bad
attitudes and crummy moods are
catching.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30).
You want to see different parts
of the world and be able to com-
municate fluently there. You’ll
learn a “new language” — though
it may still be in your native
tongue. Enjoyable work makes
lifestyle upgrades possible.
November brings family addi-
tions. January puts an old battle
to rest. Pisces and Aries people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 3, 14, 31, 29 and 36.
