Serena Williams fought off the wind, along with brief flurries of effectiveness from her opponent, to advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open on Monday with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Ana Ivanovic. Williams closed out the match with four straight serves that Ivanovic couldn’t get back in a blustery Arthur Ashe Stadium that had both players fighting with their tosses and topspin. “I didn’t even go for winners at any point,” said Williams, who hit only 16. “I just tried to get it over because it was so windy. It was definitely tough.”

Auditor general urges 7-day, 12-hour policy

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

FREELAND – If you live in Freeland and need a bottle of wine for that last-minute dinner party, you better hope it’s not a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. Or after 6 p.m. on the other days of the week for that matter. The small state Wine and Sprits Shop on Center Street in this southern Luzerne County borough is one of two dozen in

And those sorts of schedules are something Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner said need to be changed for the convenience of the customer and the financial health of the quasi-governmental entity that oversees the state’s nearly $2 billion-ayear liquor industry. In a press release criticizing the Liquor Control Board’s much-maligned wine kiosk pro-

gram, Wagner said, “We agree with (the Liquor Control Board) that innovation should always be a top priority with regard to customer convenience, which was a specific goal of the kiosk program. However, the most fundamental goal that needs to occur within the PLCB and state government – through action by the General Assembly – is greater customer convenience by opening all PLCB stores seven days a week, 12

hours a day.” Of the 18 Wine and Spirits Shops in Luzerne County, only four are open seven days a week. They are the ones in Dallas, Hazle Township, the George Avenue location in Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes-Barre Township. Thirteen others are open Monday through Saturday though hours differ, with some staying open as late as 9 every night and See LIQUOR, Page 10A

Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, the terror network’s No. 2, was killed in a CIA missile strike last month. Pakistan’s unusual public announcement of close cooperation with the U.S. spy agency appeared aimed at reversing the widespread perception that ties between the CIA and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency had been badly damaged by bin Laden’s death. The Pakistanis accused the Americans of violating their sovereignty with the raid, while Washington was angry the terror leader had been found in a house in a military garrison town.

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are ever present in the minds of Americans. But for emergency first responders, including Wilkes-Barre Chief of Police Gerry Dessoye, the awareness of local and international terrorism began several years before 9/11, with that day forever changing how to respond to calls. “It began with Columbine, the

Oklahoma City bombings, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Maryland/Virginia sniper,” Dessoye said. “Sept. 11 was the high point, when law enforcement really began changing. That’s the way I see it in my 30 years (as an officer).” Since 9/11, local police and fire departments have received specialized training and grant money, in an effort to combat terrorism and to bolster safety in general. Dessoye said his department garnered training and money

through the federal Department of Homeland Security, enabling the purchase of anti-terrorism equipment that the chief would not elaborate on. The most significant change Dessoye said his department has seen over the past 10 years is that its personnel interact with federal agencies more than they would in the past.

Catalytic converter thefts appear on rise West Pittston man allegedly caught in act at car dealership. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

EXETER – Police aware of catalytic converter thefts from new cars at a dealership allegedly caught a guy in the act. Nathan Sompel, 28, of Franklin Street, West Pittston, escaped custody when an officer allegedly spotted him under a Ford pickup truck at Barber Ford on Wyoming Avenue on Aug. 21. Sompel left behind a cordless saw, extra batteries and blades,

and a bag of syringes, police allege. Police charged Sompel with 10 counts each of theft, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief, and one count each of loitering and prowling at night and possession of drug paraphernalia. The charges were filed last week with District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston and mailed to Sompel. Sompel was questioned by police the day after the alleged theft at Barber Ford. Thefts of catalytic converters appear to be on the rise again due to the precious metals inside the devices that can return a fair

price at scrap yards. A catalytic converter, which contains palladium, platinum and rhodium, is part of a vehicle’s exhaust system that converts hazardous gases into carbon dioxide and water vapor. The device is required on all vehicles manufactured after 1975. Recently, Wilkes-Barre police received reports that catalytic converters were stolen from three vehicles on New Frederick Street. And, Scranton police recently charged a Throop man of trying to steal a catalytic converter from a vehicle at an auto service station on Olyphant Avenue. Sompel had another reason for

Pa. court upholds homicide sentence Benji Benjamin had appealed the jury’s 2010 verdict for shooting outside W-B bar. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

The state Superior Court has upheld the conviction and sentence of a Wilkes-Barre man who fatally shot another man outside a city bar. Benji Benjamin, 24, was convicted in April 2010 of third degree murder and a related firearms charge for the June 2, 2009, death of Joseph Benson, 38, of Wilkes-Barre. He was sentenced in June 2010 to 16 ½ to 33 years in prison. Police said Benjamin shot Benson outside of Liam’s Tavern on North Washington Street after an altercation broke out inside the bar between Benjamin’s friend, Don Farrell, and a bar employee. Benson had left the bar after the altercation and followed Benjamin and Farrell across the street to a parked vehicle. Benjamin then opened fire, striking Benson four times.

In his appeal, Benjamin, who claimed he acted in self defense, argued the jury’s verdict was Benjamin against the weight of the evidence. A legal brief filed by his attorneys noted the evidence showed that Benson had pursued Benjamin, who was trying to leave the scene. Some witnesses had also testified that Benson was yelling that he had a gun. The District Attorney’s Office argued the jury correctly rejected the self-defense argument. Attorneys noted Benson was unarmed and that he had been shot multiple times in the back. A three-member panel of the Superior Court sided with prosecutors in a ruling issued last week. The court also upheld Benjamin’s sentence, rejecting his argument that Luzerne County Judge Joseph Augello had failed to adequately consider mitigating circumstances.

Flash flood watch out; Susquehanna to rise

Times Leader staff

Goodbye, Irene. Hello, Lee. One week after Tropical Storm Irene drenched the region and knocked out power to thousands, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee is expected to dump 2 or more inches of rain that may lead to flash flooding, according to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y. The weather service issued a flash flood watch effective until 8 a.m. Tuesday for Luzerne and surrounding counties, including Lackawanna and Wyoming. Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches throughout the area is expected into Tuesday morning, with some areas possibly seeing heavi-

er and more persistent bands of rain. The ground was already saturated from Hurricane Irene, increasing the possibility that small creeks and streams may overflow their banks. Rain is predicted through Thursday. Mike Nadolski, a spokesman for the weather service, said the rain is the product of the remnants of Lee, which is interacting with a slow-moving cold front and moving up the northeast. The rain is also expected to impact the Susquehanna River, which is predicted to reach at 28 feet at about 9 p.m. Thursday. Natural flood stage is 22 feet. The dike system protects most of the Wyoming Valley up to 41 feet.

wanting to steal catalytic converters, police said. He allegedly was selling the devices to a man in Scranton for cash to support a heroin addiction, according to charges filed. Sompel could not be reached for comment. According to the criminal complaint: Police stepped up patrols in the area of Barber Ford after a rash of thefts from the business. An officer patrolling the rear of the business at about 9 p.m. Aug. 21 heard a noise and soon spotted a man, identified as Sompel, under a Ford pickup truck near the service bay doors. A cordless saw was next to Sompel.

The officer ordered Sompel to crawl out from under the truck. Sompel allegedly crawled farther under the truck and emerged from the other side and ran into woods, the complaint says. Police chased Sompel who managed to elude capture. Sompel was questioned by police the next day, and he allegedly told officers he was selling catalytic converters to a Scranton man for $50 to $80 per unit, the complaint says. Police said Barber Ford estimated the cost of the stolen catalytic converters and repairs at approximately $24,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Oct. 5 before Carmody.

President Barack Obama speaks after the annual Labor Day parade in Detroit, Monday. It was a dress rehearsal for the jobs address he’s delivering to a joint session of Congress on Thursday.

Obama challenges GOP on jobs President urges Republicans in Congress to put the country before party.

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

DETROIT — President Barack Obama used a boisterous Labor Day rally to put congressional Republicans on the spot, challenging them to place the country’s interests above all else and vote to create jobs and put the economy back on a path toward growth. “Show us what you’ve got,” he said. In a partial preview of the jobs speech he’s delivering to Congress on Thursday night, Obama said roads and bridges nationwide need rebuilding and more than 1 million unemployed construction workers are itching to “get dirty” making the repairs. He portrayed Congress as an obstacle to getting that work done. I’m going to propose ways to

put America back to work that both parties can agree to, because I still believe both parties can work together to solve our problems,” Obama said at an annual Labor Day rally sponsored by the Detroit-area AFLCIO. “Given the urgency of this moment, given the hardship that many people are facing, folks have got to get together. But we’re not going to wait for them.” “We’re going to see if we’ve got some straight shooters in Congress. We’re going to see if congressional Republicans will put country before party,” he said. Congress returns from its summer recess this week and the faltering economy and jobs shortage are expected to be a dominant theme. Besides spending on public works, Obama said he wants pending trade deals passed to open new markets for U.S. goods. He also said he wants Republicans to prove they’ll

fight as hard to cut taxes for the middle class as they do for profitable oil companies and the wealthiest Americans. The president is expected to call for continuing a payroll tax cut for workers and jobless benefits for the unemployed. Some Republicans oppose extending the payroll tax cut, calling it an unproven job creator that will only add to the nation’s massive debt. The tax cut extension is set to expire Jan. 1. Republicans also cite huge federal budget deficits in expressing opposition to vast new spending on jobs programs. But Obama said lawmakers need to act — and act quickly. “The time for Washington games is over. The time for action is now,” he said. Obama could be including himself in that call for action. His remarks came as he’s facing biting criticism from the GOP for presiding over a persistently weak economy and high unemployment.

Amity unlikely when Congress returns Both sides seem securely dug into their beliefs and uncooperative, expert says. By DAVID LIGHTMAN and WILLIAM DOUGLAS McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers in Congress return to Washington today after a monthlong recess, during which the economy continued to stumble, the government’s fiscal crisis deepened and lawmakers’ poll numbers plummeted after the debtceiling debacle of July. Nevertheless, there are few signs that a fresh outbreak of civility will produce quick bipartisan agreements on jobs or fiscal policy. The blowup last week over when President Barack Obama should address a joint session of Congress, resolved after he and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio finally agreed on Thursday night, was further evidence of undiminished partisan and ideological gridlock. “The lessons that should have

been pretty obvious have not been learned,” said Norman Ornstein, a veteran congressional analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right research group. The problem, said Paul Light, professor of government at New York University, is that “members of Congress are ideologically dug in and they can’t see their responsibility for the stalemate. These members seem to be unable to grasp the consequence of their intransigence.” After weeks of partisan sniping, Congress and Obama agreed on a deficit-reduction package that became law Aug. 2, hours before the government’s borrowing authority was to run out. But the war between Republicans and Democrats continues to rage. Last week, House Republicans in the House offered their own jobs plan, which was quickly dismissed by Democrats. Democrats have their own ideas, which Republicans have rejected all year. The Obama-congressional

debt-trimming package aims to cut deficits by $917 billion over the next decade. About $350 billion is to come from defense, with the rest taken from a host of domestic programs. In addition, a new bipartisan “super-committee” of six Democrats and six Republicans has a goal of finding at least $1.5 trillion more in deficit reduction by Thanksgiving. The committee will hold its first meeting on Thursday. The super-committee is considered the best hope for bipartisan agreement this fall. By Nov. 23, it must recommend specifics, and Congress must vote on the recommendations by Dec. 23. If a plan is not approved, $1.2 trillion in automatic across-the-board cuts would be triggered; half from defense, starting in 2013. Social Security, Medicaid, military and civilian pensions, and most low-income programs would be exempt. Medicare reductions would be restricted to payments to providers, and would be limited.

LOCAL Hughestown must repay $15,000

A pension should not have been paid to the widow of a deceased police officer, the state says. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

HUGHESTOWN – Hughestown borough has been ordered to repay nearly $15,000 to the state after an audit showed council improperly approved pension benefits for the wife of a deceased police officer.

Drilling’s economic impact is lessened

“The state came in and there was something there in the wording they weren’t in agreement with.”

The audit, released in January by the state Auditor General’s Office, determined the borough had paid a total of $35,500 from 2003 o 2007 to the surviving spouse of former police chief George DeLucia, but she was not entitled to receive the funds under state pension law. The improper payment resulted in the state, which pays a portion of pension costs of municipalities, overpaying the borough $14,670 from 2004 to 2008, the audit said.

A study sees previous estimates painting too rosy a picture of Marcellus Shale’s value.

A study released last week by two Pennsylvania colleges finds gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale is having a significant economic impact in Pennsylvania but is not making as much of a mark as previous studies suggested. The study, released Monday by Penn State Cooperative Extension and the Pennsylvania College of Technology, estimates Marcellus Shale development created more than 23,000 jobs and induced more than $3.1 billion in direct, indirect and induced economic output in Pennsylvania in 2009. The job figures in the new study account for only 51 percent of those predicted in a study released by Penn State University in 2010 that estimated the industry had created 44,098 jobs in 2009. The study’s authors said the lower numbers are not indicative of lowerthan-anticipated drilling activity but rather reflect an improvement in research methodology. “When you’re able to refine the data that you put into IMPLAN (the statistical analysis tool the study employs), you get better numbers,” said study co-author James Ladlee, director of special initiatives for the Marcellus Shale Education & Training Center at Penn College of Technology in Williamsport. “It doesn’t mean that anyone was lying or wrong in the previous studies.” The main difference between the Penn State Cooperative Extension study and previous economic impact analysis reports is that the new study accounts for “leakage” of dollars paid in gas leases, royalties, wages and contracts.

Tornado touches down

JACKSON, Miss. — A plodding system dumping a torrent of rain across the South turned deadly in Mississippi when a man was swept away by floodwaters after trying to cross a swollen creek, authorities said Monday. The death was the first reported so far that was directly attributed to the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. Forecasters said the storm wasn’t finished yet as it slowly moved east, threatening to spin off more tornadoes and cause flash floods and mudslides along the way. At least 16,000 people were without power in Louisiana and Mississippi as of Monday afternoon. The man who died in Mississippi, 57year-old John Howard Anderson Jr., had been in a car with two other people trying to cross a rain-swollen creek that naturally flows over the entrance to JP Coleman State Park. Anderson had

been staying on a house boat at the park’s marina. Tishomingo County Coroner Mack Wilemon said he was told Anderson was outside of the car and had been thrown a rope to be rescued, At least but he couldn’t hold 16,000 on.

Weeks said a strong storm had come through the area and he and his wife went out looking around when they saw a van crossing the creek. He happened to have a rope in the tool box of his truck. “It all happened so fast. They were in there trying to get out and panicking. The power was out so everything was dark,” Weeks recalled in a phone interview Monday. “We threw them a rope and tied it to a

tree,” Weeks said. “We got two of them to the bank and were trying to help the driver. We had him on the rope and were trying to pull him in, but I don’t think he was able to hold on.” Art Gaines, a 69-year-old retiree who lives near the park, said he and his wife heard their dogs barking at the commotion. “When we looked out the window we saw flashlights and then the next thing we know there was a van going down the creek, which is a misnomer, because once the water gets rolling through

there it’s like a small river, not a creek,” Gaines said. Gaines called 911 and went outside to help. By then, two people had been pulled from the water and others were searching for Anderson. In Texas, a body boarder drowned after being pulled out to sea by heavy surf churned up by Lee, and the Coast Guard was searching for a boy swept away by rough surf off the Alabama coast. Lee came ashore over the weekend in Louisiana, dumping up to a foot of rain in parts of New Orleans and other areas.

violent thunderstorms a week after Tropical Storm Irene brought destructive flooding to the region. The tornado was about a half-mile wide and on the ground for more than 10 minutes Sunday evening, said Steve DiRienzo, a National Weather Service meteorologist who assessed the damage Monday. Amateur video posted online shows a dark funnel cloud crossing the New York Thruway, where it knocked down trees. DiRienzo said the tornado hit around 5:20 p.m. and traveled east about 4 miles along the Mohawk River, from the town of Amsterdam into Schenectady County’s hilly West Glenville.

TARHOUNA, LIBYA

Rebels hold off on attack

Thousands of rebel fighters closed in around one of Libya’s last pro-Gadhafi strongholds Monday, but held back on a final assault in hopes of avoiding a bloody battle for the town of Bani Walid. The standoff came as rebel leaders in Tripoli said Libya’s transition to democratic rule would begin with a “declaration of liberation” that was unlikely to come before Gadhafi’s forces last strongholds were defeated and the fugitive former dictator had been captured. The declaration would mark the start of an eight-month deadline for Libya’s transitional council to arrange the vote for a national assembly, and eventually to a constitution and general elections. Special U.N. envoy Ian Martin, meanwhile, said the United Nations was helping the rebel leadership prepare for its elections, stressing the country faces immense political hurdles after nearly 42 years of dictatorial rule. TOKYO

Typhoon death toll rises

Japan braced for more heavy rain and floods Monday as the death toll from the worst typhoon to hit the country in seven years climbed to 34. Rescuers searched for 55 others who remained missing, and tens of thousands of families struggled without power or telephone service. Typhoon Talas, which was later downgraded to a tropical storm, lashed coastal areas with destructive winds and record-setting rains over the weekend before moving offshore into the Sea of Japan. Thousands were stranded as it washed out bridges, railways and roads. The destruction added more misery to a nation still reeling from a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami six months ago.

Special iPhone lost

San Francisco police officers helped Apple Inc. investigators look for a missing iPhone prototype that was left in a city restaurant in July, the police chief said, the second time in two years the company has lost an unreleased smartphone. Police Chief Greg Suhr told the San Francisco Chronicle that four plainclothes officers accompanied two Apple investigators who searched a San Francisco home for the prototype. Apple employees who contacted the department asking for help finding a lost item conducted the house search after asking the resident’s permission, and the officers did not enter the home, according to police.

Wildfire destroys 300 Texas homes

The fire, southeast of Austin, had blackened more than 17,500 acres since it started on Sunday. By WILL WEISSERT Associated Press

BASTROP, Texas — A wildfire burning southeast of Austin, Texas, destroyed about 300 homes, forced the evacuation of many others and was advancing unchecked on Monday through parched ranchland along a 16-mile front, authorities said. The fire had blackened more than 17,500 acres since it started on Sunday and was the largest of the dozens burning in the drought-stricken state. It was headed away from the state capital, some 30 miles to the northwest, and consuming the water-starved woods and brush with such ferocity that it was deemed unsafe to fight from the ground, Texas Forest

Service spokeswoman Jan Amen said. “It’s a monster and it’s zero percent contained,” Amen said. Instead, the state deployed its firefighting air fleet, including National Guard helicopters and four heavy tanker planes. It also summoned a tanker from South Dakota. Emergency shelters were set up for those forced to evacuate their homes. About 30 people spent the night at a Bastrop church, waiting to learn if they had lost everything. Rick Blakely, 54, said he expected that his home was among those destroyed, but that he was holding out hope nonetheless. From town, the view in several directions was obscured by thick columns of smoke billowing skyward. Texas is enduring its worst drought since the 1950s, and the wildfire threat has been exacerbated by powerful wind gusts cast off by Tropical Storm Lee, hundreds of miles to the east. The blaze near Bastrop among at least 63 that had start-

ed Sunday or Monday. Gov. Rick Perry cut short a visit to South Carolina on Monday and canceled a planned trip to California in order to return to Texas to oversee the firefighting efforts, Ray Sullivan, a spokesman for the Republican’s presidential campaign, said in a statement. There had been no reported injuries linked to the Bastrop County fire. But a fast-moving blaze in the East Texas town of Gladewater on Sunday killed a 20-yearold woman and her 18-month-old daughter, trapping them in their burning home. That fire was eventually extinguished. “Today is just as bad,” Amen said Monday. Nearly half of Bastrop State Park, a 6,000-acre preserve east of Bastrop, was gone, KVUE-TV in Austin reported. The park and several major highways in the area were closed but a handful of people whose RV’s were left overnight in the popular park were being allowed in to retrieve them.

Winter could threaten repairs in wake of Irene By CHRIS HAWLEY Associated Press

NEW YORK — Northeastern states struggling to rebuild hundreds of roads and dozens of bridges in the wake of Hurricane Irene are facing another natural threat: winter. The end of construction season is fast approaching in New England and upstate New York. By November it will be too cold to lay asphalt, and by December snow and ice will cover the mountains, leaving towns dangerously isolated and possibly dissuading tourists during the region’s ski season. Vermont officials said Monday they are renting quickly built, military-style temporary bridges as a stopgap measure. “We’re going to be into winter before we know it,” Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin told reporters last week. “We’ve got a lot of highways to rebuild, bridges to rebuild, before snow starts to fly in Vermont.”

“We’re going to be into winter before we know it.”

Raging floods gouged and closed more than 300 local roads and state routes in Vermont and damaged at least 22 bridges in the state, marooning people for Peter Shumlin days in at least 13 Vermont towns. Irene ripped angovernor other 150 roads in neighboring New York state. Some of the washed-out roads have gaping gullies 30 feet deep. Meanwhile, the White House estimated on Monday that Hurricane Irene will cost federal taxpayers $1.5 billion in disaster relief, further ballooning a government account that was already the focus of fresh partisan friction between President Barack Obama and Congress. The preliminary estimate, released by White House budget director Jacob Lew, is on top of $5.2 billion needed for

other recent disasters, including tornadoes that leveled much of Joplin, Mo. Lew said the $1.5 billion should last through next year. The Obama administration has said last month’s debt ceiling deal with Congress allows the government to pay for disaster spending by borrowing, which increases federal deficits. That is a longtime practice for financing emergencies. The House’s No. 2 Republican, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, has said disaster spending should be offset by cutting other parts of the budget. Commenting on Irene’s damage, road building experts say that if the work isn’t done by mid-November, winter’s cold, ice and snows will prevent any substantial progress until after the spring thaws. Other states wrestling with post-Irene road repairs include New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Famine has spread into one more region of Somalia and more than 4 million Somalis now need aid, the United Nations said Monday. Hundreds of Somalis are dying every day, the U.N. Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia found in its latest surveys. At least half of them are children. About 750,000 more people may die from famine in the next four The top humonths if manitarian there is no ade- official for quate response, the Somalia deU.N. report scribed getsaid, an inting aid to the crease of 66 percent from starving as a July. “race against The top humanitarian of- time” and ficial for Soma- warned the lia described famine would getting aid to the starving as probably a “race against spread before time” and the end of the warned the famine would year. probably spread before the end of the year. “This isn’t a short-term crisis,” said Mark Bowden, who heads the U.N. office coordinating humanitarian aid to Somalia. Bowden said the 4 million Somalis needing aid represent more than half of Somalia’s population. He said it is also an increase from 3.7 million Somalis who needed aid in July. The southern Bay region is the latest area to be declared a famine zone. Nearly 60 percent of people there are acutely malnourished — four times the rate at which an emergency is declared, said Grainne Moloney, head of the food security unit. Famine has now affected six areas, including four southern Somali regions and two settlements of internally displaced people. The U.N. says tens of thousands of people already have died in Somalia due to the severe violence, drought and famine. More than150,000 refugees have sought aid in the last few months. Families in Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti have also been affected. Somalia has been hit hardest, its problems compounded by more than 20 years of civil war and Islamist insurgents that banned many aid agencies, including the U.N.’s World Food Program, from their territory.

Kids return from fair with strain of flu linked to pandemic The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — State officials said Monday three Pennsylvania children who attended an agricultural fair in southwestern Pennsylvania have contracted a new strain of influenza containing the H1N1 virus. Authorities say all three children attended the Washington County Agricultural Fair the week of Aug. 13 to Aug. 20. They say one child has recovered, while two confirmed ill over the weekend are recuperat-

ing. The cases are similar to past human infections with swine-origin H3N2 viruses. But the new strain also contains the H1N1 virus linked to the 2009 flu pandemic. Anyone who attended the

Washington County Fair and has flu-like symptoms should contact their medical provider or call 1877-PA-HEALTH.

But producers promise the screams and fear will be very, very real. Creative director Rob Padden has directed the haunted house every year since it began. On Sunday he was searching for persons to play speaking roles, as well as “poppers,” speechless characters who jump out at you. The production is truly a labor of love for those involved, all of whom volunteer their time to put the month-long show together, said Padden and Rick Markham,

arrests were carried out in the past two weeks, according to a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. The capture of an al-Qaida operative inside Pakistan has become rare in recent years: Most targets of CIA operations in the country have been killed by drone aircraft in a relentless series of operations that started to increase in 2008. His capture is likely to create chaos within alQaida: Even if he does not reveal compromising information, that possibility is almost certain to force the network to alter plans, move operatives and make a variety of other sudden changes, damaging its ability to carry out attacks. “This operation was planned and conducted with technical assistance of United States Intelligence Agencies with whom Inter-Services Intelligence has a strong, historic intelligence relationship. Both Pakistan and United States Intelligence agencies continue to work closely together to enhance security of their respective nations,” the military said in a written statement.

Amy Brown,19, of West Wyoming, has been involved with community theater for several years and knows a thing or two about acting, and dealing with hecklers. She was returning for her fifth year at Gravestone Manor. “You can’t be afraid to get in peoples faces and be ridiculous,” she said. “People will call you out on your acting. You have to have a strong sense of improvisation to deal with the hecklers.” The production has raised more than $200,000 for the United Way over the past 13 years, Markham said. He has been part of the show since it began and is grateful for the support from the cast and crew, all of whom volunteer their time. “It’s nice to be around people who work because they love what they do,” he said.

The statement said al-Mauritani was mainly responsible for al-Qaida’s international operations and was tasked by bin Laden with hitting targets of economic importance in America, Europe and Australia. It said he was planning attacks on gas and oil pipelines, power generating dams and oil tankers that would be hit by explosive-laden speed boats in international waters. It named the other two detai-

nees as Abdul-Ghaffar al-Shami and Messara al-Shami. In its statement, the Pakistani army also described them as senior operatives. “This action has dealt yet another blow to al-Qaida and is an example of the longstanding partnership between the United States and Pakistan in fighting terrorism,” White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said. “We applaud the actions of Pakistan’s intelligence and security services that led to the capture of a senior al-Qaida operative who was involved in planning attacks against the interests of the United States and many other countries.” The U.S. has said it doesn’t know of any specific al-Qaida plot to attack the U.S. ahead of Sept. 11.

Gravestone Manor differs from other area haunted houses in that it strives to tell a story as much as it does to scare you, Markham said. “Halloween is not just about serial killers and chainsaws,” Markham said. “We want to go beyond that and tell a story and bring some of the magic back.” Nina Koons, 19, of Nanticoke, was eager to get a role.

NYC’s top cop on a mission Terrorist attacks

became TV event

Raymond Kelly wins plaudits for reforming the department to fight terrorism.

The Internet Archive put together a television news archive of the day’s coverage.

By TOM HAYS and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

NEW YORK — Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sits at the head of a conference table in a top-floor office that looks like a cross between a Fortune 500 boardroom and a Best Buy sales floor. He’s calling up securitycamera feeds that appear on wall-to-wall flat screens. If he wants, he can produce a military-style aerial map of lower Manhattan, including Wall Street and ground zero. But on this weekday, he zooms in on a homeless man passed out in a bus stop on the Upper West Side, then emails a photo to the neighborhood’s precinct house — prodding commanders there to get the man shelter. The scene put two of the 69year-old commissioner’s trademarks on display: an obsessive attention to detail and an insatiable appetite for the latest technology. He’s also known for an impervious attitude toward questions about the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism tactics, which have raised concerns about civil rights and unchecked power. But Kelly believes his record speaks for itself. Nine years after taking over a department stunned by the events of Sept. 11, there have been no more successful attacks. And New Yorkers, he said, can thank the NYPD. “We’ve done so many things,” he told The Associated Press in an interview in early August. “There’s no guarantees. We live in an unsafe world, but relatively speaking, New York is a very safe place, and it’s palpable.”

In 2009, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, center, briefs New York police and federal officials on events surrounding the alleged plot to bomb New York commuter trains, at Police Headquarters in New York City. Kelly has received high marks for his innovative tactics and use of technology in the battle against terrorism in the city.

His unwavering support from a three-term mayor, Michael Bloomberg, and his unusual longevity add to his influence. Under Kelly’s leadership, New York has seen its homicide rate plummet. In 2009, the city had only 471 killings, the lowest since reliable record-keeping began in 1963, and a stark comparison from a record-high 2,245 in 1990. But it’s his approach to terrorism that has gotten him the most attention. And, said police historian Thomas Reppetto, his track record has set new standards for policing. “Before 9/11, police weren’t judged on their counterterrorism abilities,” he said. “Kelly has created a blueprint for how a police department should respond to counterterrorism. And that’s an original.” Kelly’s aggressive approach to

counterterrorism has been largely lauded. President Barack Obama visited headquarters after the department handled a car bomb that nearly went off in Times Square in May 2010, thanking Kelly for his work defending the city. The New York native began his law enforcement career with the NYPD in 1966 after a tour in Vietnam with the Marine Corps. Over the next four decades, he held every rank in the department. After Bloomberg asked him to return to the NYPD shortly after Sept. 11, Kelly assembled an inner circle of advisers. Among them were a former CIA official who’s still with the department and a retired Marine general. “I believe that we had to bring in different skill sets,” Kelly said. Along with the department’s Intelligence Division, a brand-

new counterterrorism unit would provide protection on streets, in the subways, even the waterways. Both would report directly to him. Today, about 1,000 of the city’s roughly 35,000 officers are assigned each day to counterterrorism operations. The commissioner also pioneered a program to send officers overseas to report on how other cities deal with terrorism. The department also has used informants and undercover officers of Arab and Muslim descent to try to detect homegrown terror threats. That effort thwarted a plot to blow up a subway station in 2004 and resulted in the arrests of two men last year on charges they sought to join a Somali terror group. Critics have likened the program to domestic spying and say it threatens civil rights.

A piece of WTC rubble keeps memories alive Minnesota woman’s rock from tower collapse binds her to the Sept. 11 attacks. By CURT BROWN Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — The rock is the size of a walnut. Granite. Mottled with red and pink, flecks of iridescence sparkling when it’s turned just right. It’s the kind of stone a person might pick up at the lake, a souvenir of a trip up North. But this is a memento from a different kind of journey. It rests like a treasure in a little crystal box on Pam Glenn’s bedroom bookshelf in Inver Grove Heights. The fragment from the World Trade Center in New York binds Glenn to the day when she and Americans everywhere watched the Sept.11, 2001, attacks, “wanting to jump through the TV and somehow stop it” as the planes hit the towers. Many asked questions then, unanswerable in the shock of the moment, about what that day would mean. How far would the reverberations ripple through the country, through our lives? The long road to answers, a decade later, leads from smalltown Iowa to the top of a Chicago skyscraper, from a Michigan mosque through misty Pennsylvania hills and, finally, to a site that has acquired a sacred aura: ground zero.

Pam Glenn of Inver Grove Heights, Minn., holds a piece of rock from the World Trade Center site that was given to her by retired New York City firefighter Karl Van Kasten.

Across more than 1,500 miles, some Americans are still frozen in hate and anger. Many more say the lasting memory of that fateful day inspires them to reach across divides to other people. It begins here, with Minnesotans such as Glenn. Or out at the Mall of America, where a transplanted Israeli and an all-American Muslim are working together to prevent terrorism. Even on the back of a grieving father, tattooed with the image of his fallen soldier son. For weeks, memories of the Sept. 11 attacks hung over Pam Glenn like a haze. Finally, she realized she had to do something. “Sometimes you don’t always know the reason why,” she says. Maybe it was the holiday party a few months later, when she heard a couple say they visit-

ed New York but bypassed ground zero. “That simple comment just stirred me,” Glenn says. She put her career as a nurse-midwife on hold, cashed in her frequent-flier miles and arranged to sleep on a friend-of-a-friend’s couch in New Jersey. Four months after the attacks, she took her first ferry ride to lower Manhattan with volunteers pouring into the city. Fires still burned in the seven stories of rubble left after the 110-story towers collapsed. Exhausted workers picked through debris to salvage remains of the nearly 3,000 people who died there. Glenn served up the comfort of food to the recovery crews, a stew of kindness flowing in from around the country. Firefighters from Maine drove down eight hours with hundreds of lobsters they plucked from traps that morning. From New Orleans came steaming pots of jambalaya. On her last day dropping off food, she met New York firefight-

er Karl Van Kasten. They talked for an hour. Through his clipped New York accent and her flat Midwestern vowels, a friendship was forged. “Everyone was united,” she recalls. “There was a spirit of unity that I so hoped would continue into the future.” She looked out one cold, windy January night and watched a couple from Europe bend over a makeshift memorial to their son. A gust blew out the candle they lit. They tried again and again. “The scene just broke my heart,” she says. Over the next decade, the grim toll of the attacks would deepen. More than 6,000 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Roughly $4 trillion spent on the battlefield as the economy nose-dived. A new generation of veterans — many jobless, injured, haunted. Muslim-Americans enduring suspicious glares from neighbors and worse. Now, where that sense of unity once radiated, Glenn feels a void. “It’s been replaced with mistrust and divisiveness,” she says. “And that really saddens me to no end.” But her chance meeting with Van Kasten grew into lasting friendship. He would take a piece of granite he had salvaged from the smoldering wreckage on Sept. 12, chisel it in two and send half to Glenn back in Minnesota. She would tuck it into a little crystal box and place it on her bookshelf. They still chat and email. During one call, she could sense melancholy in her ground zero buddy. “Karl said: ‘People are forgetting,’ ’’ she recalls. “I tried to reassure him. ‘No, Karl, they are not forgetting. They are moving on with their lives. But they’re not forgetting.’ ’’

NEW YORK— For many in New York and Washington, Sept. 11, 2001, was a personal experience, an attack on their cities. Most everywhere else in the world, it was a television event. TV’s commemoration as the 10th anniversary approaches on Sunday puts that day in many different contexts. There is one place, however, for people to see the Sept. 11 attacks and the week after as they unfolded, without any filters. The Internet Archive, a California-based organization that collects audio, moving images and Web pages for historical purposes, has put together a television news archive of that day’s coverage. More than 20 channels were recorded with more than 3,000 hours of television. Besides major U.S. networks like ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC, the Internet Archive has posted online TV recordings from Moscow, Paris, London, Baghdad, Tokyo, Ottawa and elsewhere. The site is available at http:// www.archive.org/details/911/ day. The material is valuable to researchers, but the Internet Archive wanted to make it easy to use so the general public can go back and see what that day was like, said Brewster Kahle, the organization’s director. “It is one of the top four or five events that have happened on television,” Kahle said. “You can think of putting a man on the moon, the Watergate hearings, the Kennedy as-

sassination. I’m hopeful that people will come to this and make their own decisions about how they want to think about it, as opposed to politicians who have been pushing and pulling the event for years.” The archive begins at 8 a.m. ET, or 46 minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. That alone is interesting for the striking contrast it provides with the last seemingly carefree moments before several tough years. On NBC’s “Today” show, Katie Couric talks brightly of “a beautiful fall morning in Manhattan” and the camera pans to a cheering crowd. Charles Gibson mocks his “Good Morning America” colleague Diane Sawyer for writing notes on her hand, and ABC’s Claire Shipman said the biggest news in Washington was Michael Jordan giving hints he might return to the basketball court. Out of a commercial late in the morning shows, even cutting one commercial short on CNN, suddenly came camera shots of a burning World Trade Center, ones that would dominate screens for several hours. Newscasters were careful before the story became clear. Matt Lauer initially called it an “accident.” Morning shows effectively used phone calls from eyewitnesses adding details beyond the faraway camera shots. Then came one of many unthinkable moments: a second plane darting into pictures and crashing into the second tower, exploding in a fireball and falling debris. CNN’s Aaron Brown responded with the horror most viewers no doubt felt when the second tower fell. “Good lord,” he said. “There are no words.”

BETTER TRAINING FOR RESPONDERS One of the things Karen Flannery found after Sept. 11 was that there was not adequate training facilities available for emergency responders to practice for such occurrences as the 9/11 attacks. Flannery, dean of Luzerne County Community College’s Public Safety Training Institute, said a natural response was to construct a building to make responders better at what they are doing. The school has 4,000 students from a 12-county area taking classes that began in 2004. Flannery said instructors talk about 9/11 and problems responders may have encountered, and instruct students about the use of equipment and radio communication. “If you’re not good at the basics, you can’t do the advanced (training),” Flannery said. The Public Safety Training Institute will hold a remembrance ceremony on Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. at the institute. A piece of steel from the World Trade Center will be dedicated as part of a “Walk of Honor” dedicated to first responders who risk their lives daily to protect the lives of others. Phyllis Carlo, the mother of Michael Scott Carlo, a firefighter with FDNY who lost his life during the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, will participate in a wreath presentation.

RESPONDERS Continued from Page 1A

ceived hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money through FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. Most recently, the program awarded five local fire departments a total of more than $2 million to purchase personal protective equipment and vehicles to aid their work. Dallas Fire and Ambulance Inc. received $85,000 in grant money through the program, allowing the department to purchase breathing apparatus for its firefighters. “They are our lifeline in a fire,” Chief Harry Vivian said. “We got a thermal imaging camera, too, for firefighters to locate victims or fires in the walls,” Vivian said. Since Sept. 11, Vivian said, the department has received more terrorism training and training education on how to handle hazardous materials. Since 9/11, Vivian said, his department has been tasked with being prepared for any type of emergency. Director of the Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency Stephen Bekanich said the county became involved in

anti-terrorism training a few years before 9/11 when the agency became a member of the East Central Task Force. Formed in 1998 in response to the growing threat of the use of weapons of mass destruction and the regional effect of a potential incident, the task force serves seven local counties, including Luzerne, where Bekanich is vice chairman. As part of that task force, Bekanich said, the seven counties were activated after the Sept. 11 attacks to accept patients from New York City if hospitals there became overcrowded. Since then, Bekanich said, the county, through the task force, began receiving “large sums” of grant money on a regular basis. Modern equipment for firefighters, emergency responders and police has been purchased, including chemical-resistant clothing, respirators, command vehicles and a command trailer the county currently utilizes during disasters. The county continues to apply for Homeland Security grant money, and recently garnered funds to implement an emergency alert notification program in which residents can sign up to receive text messages or e-mails about weather alerts or other emergency information.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: The Times Leader published this edition on Sept. 13, 2001. It carried the latest information

about the four airliners that had been hijacked after taking off from eastern airports, with two of the planes flying into the World Trade Center towers in New York, one flying into the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and the other crashing into the ground in Shanksville, Pa. Thousands were killed.

STATE OPINION: EMPLOYMENT

Policy change can lead to more jobs

HE STATE OF Working Pennsylvania is downright depressing. The annual report by the liberal think tank Keystone Research Center shines new light on the state’s job market, and the news is even worse than might be expected. Not only are 7.4 percent of Pennsylvanians unemployed, another 6 percent are underemployed – working part-time when they’d like to have a fulltime job, for instance – and an estimated 11 percent to 14 percent have jobs now but were out of work or underemployed earlier in the year. That makes the competition for jobs even stiffer. For every opening, there are 7.5 unemployed or underemployed people. And holding a college degree no longer provides refuge from economic storms. Pay rates are stagnant, too. College graduates, for instance, saw a 3.1 percent decline in hourly earnings between 2002 and 2010. The only working Pennsylvanians who didn’t see wage stagnation in the period were CEOs, whose

pay increased by an average of 23 percent in 2010 alone. If Pennsylvania is to reach full employment in three years, it would have to create 7,500 jobs a month, a far cry from the 100 that were added in each of the last three months, the study says. All of this bad news buttresses the need for a change in public policy. Politically expedient spending cuts will only feed the cycle of job and wage cuts and a slowing economy. Instead, the study makes a strong case for “a moral economy,” one that invests in infrastructure and school construction, which can put Pennsylvanians back to work; continuing extended federal jobless benefits, which are set to expire in December; and pairing those benefits with more training, which prepares workers for their next job while keeping families afloat. That, the study argues, would produce a Pennsylvania that is both more humane and more productive. We can’t argue with that. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A troubling number of U.S. corporations behave as moocher guests at our national cafeteria. They help themselves to all the taxpayer-funded goods and services we create and pay for together and leave patriotic small businesses and individual taxpayers with the bill. According to a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies that I co-authored, 25 corporations among the top 100 firms paid their CEOs more in compensation than they paid in taxes. Twenty of them spent more on lobbying Congress than they paid in taxes. Twenty of the 25 paid not one dime in federal taxes last year. Many use offshore tax havens to shift their profits overseas to avoid U.S. taxes. In fact, their hands are out, collecting millions in government subsidies. This elite group of super-moochers includes Ford, eBay, Verizon, Boeing, Motorola, Honeywell, Dow Chemical, General Electric, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Prudential Financial, Capital One Financial and International Paper. These companies utilize roads, ports, Internet broadband, weather services – our

s I read about the attempts by our elected officials to get approval for $300,000 for the repair of the Coal Street Creek Bridge in Plymouth, I can’t help but wonder where our priorities lie. It appears that the “approval” of the needed $300,000 is a hard stretch for our state and federal legislators and local officials. Yet we can spend more than $1 billion a day on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. These wars are costing us $300,000 every 26 seconds. Can’t we stop shooting and bombing over there for 26 seconds and bring that money home to fix our bridge? Isn’t it time that we let the rest of the world stand on its own two feet and stop playing policeman of the world? Couldn’t we start spending all these billions of American tax dollars on the citizens of the United States for a change? Don’t the citizens of this country deserve a little aid and consideration at long

Advocate urges support of Pa.’s Growing Greener

DOONESBURY

This is simply not true. Incredibly, Pennsylvania remains the only major drilling state in the nation that has failed to implement a severance tax on natural gas drilling. Due to the destructive and dangerous nature of Marcellus Shale drilling it only makes sense to direct a portion of the funds to the state’s environmental and conservation programs, such as Pennsylvania’s Growing Greener program. This program is one of the state’s most successful environmental-protection programs, working to protect the outdoor spaces that make the state great, and protecting and restoring rivers, lakes and streams. Unfortunately, the Growing Greener program is about to run out of money to do this important work. I hope that concerned citizens will contact their state representatives and senators and ask them to renew Growing Greener. Meredith Meisenheimer Preservation associate, PennEnvironment Philadelphia

Previous studies assumed all dollars from lease and royalty payments remain in Pennsylvania and landowners spend those dollars the same way they spend their regular income, but researchers found landowners may save more of their lease and royalty payments than they would their usual earnings. A survey of 501 Bradford County and Tioga County landowners who had leased land for gas drilling found that they saved an average of 55 percent of leasing dollars and 66 percent of all royalty dollars in the year those payments were received. A significant percentage of gas leases are also likely held by outof-state entities, further dulling impact, though researchers couldn’t say what percentage. “One of the things that concerned me the most was that there was not good information out there on who owns the leases,” said study co-author Tim Kelsey of the Penn State Cooperative Extension. “One of the

When questioned about the payment, the borough was unable to provide any documentation to support the amount of the payment, or the basis for its decision to award her the pension, the audit says. The circumstances surrounding the awarding of the pension benefits were not clear. Neither Mayor Paul Hindmarsh nor the borough’s solicitor, Miriam D’Elia, returned phone messages Friday or Monday.

PROJECT Continued from Page 3A

throughout the 3.5-mile stretch from Washington Avenue in West Hazleton to Arthur Gardner Highway (state Route 424) in Hazleton. A new entrance to Hazleton General Hospital was recently completed and will get one of two new traffic signals in the

spring, Fritsky said. The other new signal will be placed at Broad and Poplar streets. The 15 existing signals will be updated with LED lighting, and all 17 signals along the stretch will be synchronized, meaning they will change in a coordinated fashion so that traffic flows in an orderly manner. Fritsky said the new street lights featuring teardrop light fixtures from arm brackets at the top of the pole shaft are currently being installed and all

should be standing by October or November. The first ones installed can be seen in the Terrace section of the city east of the hospital. Storm drainage work is progressing along that same stretch of roadway. Much curb work is complete on the west side of Broad Street in West Hazleton and the laying of new sidewalk should begin there after Funfest weekend, Fritsky said. The project completion date is projected for the end of 2013.

weaknesses of the study was that we had to assume that leasing and royalty dollars go the same way as land-ownership patterns and we know that’s not true, but there’s no better data that’s out there. … If anything, I think it underestimates the amount of dollars that are going out of state.” About 69 percent of total gas industry spending in 2008 was leasing and royalty payments, so those payments are an important determiner of the gas industry’s economic impact, the study states. But researchers also ventured that landowners saving some lease and royalty payments could help ease the inevitable boom-and-bust cycle inherent in natural resource economics. Researchers also considered how gas industry workers from other states sending money home and gas companies contracting out-of-state businesses for projects could further dull the Marcellus Shale’s economic impact. But Kelsey said that for as scaled back as this study’s assessment of it may be, the industry’s impact remains undeniable.

“Twenty-three thousand is still a large number of jobs,” Kelsey said. “So even though the numbers are smaller, it’s still a lot of activity. I think it would be a mistake for people to look at this and say, there’s no economic impact. One third of all businesses in Bradford County said their business has increased because of this activity. That’s a significant economic impact, especially when you consider that much of this is happening in less-populated areas.” Teri Ooms, executive director of The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development – a partnership of several local colleges and universities, including Wilkes, King’s and Misericordia – also said the importance of the study lies in demonstrating the overall impact the industry is having on Pennsylvania’s economy, rather than in the specifics. “I think (this study’s) importance lies in showing you how vastly a growing industry can impact an area,” she said. “And when I refer to the vastness, I mean there’s impact that ripples through the economy. For every dollar that someone spends, it goes to other industries and gets

moved around. … Their study is telling you that there is impact in other industries across the state as a result of this industry, and I think that’s what we should all take away from that.” Ooms said the study also highlights the need for further research in other areas, some of which the Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development is already pursuing. The institute is working on studies of the industry’s impact on housing prices and on the happiness of families living in areas with significant Marcellus Shale development, she said. The natural gas industry, in the form of the industry-backed gas advocacy group Marcellus Shale Coalition, also applauded the study’s findings. “While the authors admit that their findings offer ‘a preliminary, short-run view,’ we believe that the most important takeaway here is that responsible Marcellus Shale development is continuing to have a cascading economic impact across the entire supply chain that supports our industry,” said Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition.

to reach several council members, including council President Wayne Quick and Councilwoman Marie Griglock, were also unsuccessful. Councilwoman Barbara Gatto on Friday said she believes the problems regarding DeLucia’s pension, which she said is still being paid to his spouse, stemmed from a “glitch” with the state. She said the borough is in the process of resolving the matter. “The state came in and there was something there in the wording they weren’t in agreement with,” she said. Gatto said any decision made was done with the approval of its solicitor at the time, attorney Mark Singer. Singer on Friday said he does not recall council

ever seeking his input on the propriety of the payment to DeLucia’s spouse. Singer said he was unaware of any issues with the DeLucia pension until about two years ago, when a council member contacted him to ask him to provide an affidavit stating that Singer had made the agreement with DeLucia to provide the benefits to his wife. “I was asked to prepare an affidavit as to my meeting with DeLucia. I never met with him with regard to this issue,” Singer said. “I never made an agreement with George. That would not be my place.” As for the issue regarding Judge’s pension, Singer said he believes there is documentation that supports the decision to

award him a disability pension. Singer said the borough had disputed Judge’s claim that the injury he suffered that led to his retirement was related to his service. The dispute went to arbitration, and the arbitrator ruled in Judge’s favor, he said. The audit notes that the borough has stated that it has attempted to obtain the requested documentation from a prior plan administrator, but has been unable to do so. The audit again directs the borough to seek the documentation, warning that failure to do so will result in Judge’s pension being deemed ineligible for funding by the state. That could result the in borough having to repay state aid it receives for his pension in the future.

others turning off the lights at 7 some nights and 9 on others. Statewide, about 25 percent, or 157, of the state’s approximately 622 retail wine and spirits outlets are open seven days a week, according to data compiled by Wagner’s office. None is open 12 hours a day, seven days a week. The data also show that the 22 kiosks were open six days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., excluding Sundays; 419 stores were open five or six days a week; and 24 were open only for limited hours three or four days a week. Like Freeland, they’re mostly in less-populated or rural areas. In Carbon County, the store in Lansford is closed Sunday and Wednesday, and on the other five days, it opens at 11:30. Most liquor stores open between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. In Schuylkill County, three of the 10 liquor and wine shops have similar schedules to the Freeland store. The Frackville, Ashland and Mahanoy City stores are each open three days a week and closed four. And the days they are open their hours are 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. “State-regulated industries like gaming casinos are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Wagner said. “It’s time for the PLCB to modernize its retail operation and expand its daily operations to better serve the residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.” Wagner’s comments come in conjunction with an audit performed by his office of the state’s struggling wine kiosk program. A report showed its findings and offered recommendations to fix the program and boost sales across the state in stores as well as kiosks. One of the report’s recommendations is for the PLCB to “work with the General Assembly to pass legislation that would permit all stores and kiosks to be open seven days a week, 9 a.m. until at least 9 p.m., and all kiosks to be open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to midnight, if they are housed in stores that are open during those hours.” Stacey Witalec, a spokeswoman for the PLCB, said “We are hopeful the legislature will address the issue of our operating hours as well as Sunday sales, giving the board more flexibility to provide service to its customers.” She noted that Sunday is typically the second busiest sales day of the week, even with scaled-back hours.

stores. Previously they were also in Wegmans, including the ones in Wilkes-Barre Township and Dickson City. A deal with Walmart to install 23 kiosks across the state was terminated by Walmart and announced two weeks ago. Malfunctions and glitches harmed the kiosk program, according to Wagner. They led to a shutdown of all kiosks for reprogramming last year, coinciding with the Christmas and New Year holidays – both high alcohol sales holidays. The audit found that poor sales and high operating costs have threatened the kiosk program success. Based on calculations performed by Wagner’s au-

The current liquor code permits sales on Sunday at only 25 percent of Wine and Spirits stores, a level the PLCB is currently at. Any more would require a change to the law. And that may be on the way. A proposal by State Rep. John Taylor, R-Philadelphia, would expand the number of state liquor stores open on Sunday. The bill, which was approved in June by the House Liquor Control Committee, would grant the state Liquor Control Board the authority to open as many stores for Sunday sales as it deems appropriate. House Bill 260 also extends Sunday hours for both state stores and beer distributors from noon to 9 p.m. That’s four hours more than the current law permits. Witalec said it’s the PLCB’s “goal to have the majority of our stores open six days a week from 9 to 9, however there are some areas where there just isn’t enough sales volume to operate a store six days a week.” She said maintaining a store in an area with a customer base but doing it in the “most cost efficient way” is the balance the PLCB tries to strike. According to an unscientific poll conducted by The Times Leader on timesleader.com Thursday and Friday, 46 percent of the 318 people who participated in the survey said they believe state stores should be open expanded hours. Forty-four percent said the current hours are fine and should be left alone. The remaining 10 percent said they believe stores are already open too long and should have fewer hours of operation. ditors from financial data provided by the PLCB, from Jan. 29, 2009, through March 31, 2011, wine kiosk operations showed net income from sales of $206,060, and total operating costs of $1,131,375. Using data collected since the audit was concluded, as of June 30, 2011, the PLCB spent more to operate the kiosks than it took in, resulting in an operating shortfall of $1.12 million, Wagner said. Wagner’s report noted 20 of the 32 kiosks, or 63 percent, that were operational during the audit period failed to meet the minimum weekly sales threshold as determined by the board. The unmet threshold for each kiosk was 210 bottles a week, or 35 a day. Only three of the 32 kiosks had average sales that topped more than 210 bottles a week.

Always on the move Baseball is such a transient sport, half the season is played away from home to begin with. And in the New York Yankees organization, some players who begin a season with Double-A Trenton or in the big leagues with New York ultimately wind up spending some time in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It’s the way the game usually plays out. “That’s not going to affect how we’re going to play,” SWB Yankees pitcher D.J. Mitchell said of next season’s uncertainty, “or how we’re going to approach the game. “Wherever we go, that’s where we’re going to end up.” Still, they’d like to go home every now and then. Spending long stretches on the road wears players down, both mentally and physically, because extended periods of travel from one city to the next can be strength-sapping and distracting to guys accustomed to routines. Two-week road trips seem torturous to most players. Imagine how a fivemonth stretch of traveling will feel. “Hopefully, the guys who are here can deal with it a little bit,” said outfielder Greg Golson, who doesn’t plan to be one of them – he was promoted to the parent New York Yankees following Monday’s Triple-A finale. “I’ve never dealt with it.” You just hope the Lackawanna County commissioners have a backup deal. According to figures they tossed around during the winter, they’d be more than $5 million short of completing a proposed $40 million stadium renovation project if they lose an ongoing lawsuit to franchise co-owner Luzerne County. If Luzerne County, didn’t have a pretty good shot at claiming nearly half of any sale price of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s Triple-A baseball franchise, you tell me why former Gov. Ed Rendell urged Luzerne County to stand down when he was awarding $20 million in state funds for the stadium renovation project. And word is spreading the planned cost of that reconstruction may be rising, even as we speak of lowering the boom on PNC Field’s second level. “I saw the artist’s rendition, what it might look like, it was pretty unique,” Miley said. “It’ll be great for the Yankees and great for the fans around here. If we have to do something a little different as far as next year, you make the adjustment.” That’s still a big if. While the show plans to leave the area for a year, Lacakawanna County taxpayers should be asking the commissioners to “show me the money.” Because with this baseball play, you have to see it to believe it.

their breezy 9-0 win, pushing the second-place Braves 8{ games behind them in the NL East. He collected his sixth shutout of the season while striking out six and holding the Braves to five hits. Even though the rain didn’t become a factor, Lee’s performance had added value because it gave the Phillies’ taxed bullpen a desperately needed rest. And for the time being, at least, it further established him as the best among the Phillies aces. Lee had plenty of support from both the Phillies hitters and Braves fielders as the Phillies avoided their first threegame losing streak since June 1-3-4. Hunter Pence drove in three runs with a single and double while Shane Victorino and Ruiz each knocked in two. Ryan Howard hit his 31st homer, and fourth in his last eight games. The Braves made one costly error and failed to come up with key defensive plays at crucial moments. If they were looking for a confidence boost for a possible postseason matchup against the Phillies, this was not the night to find it. Instead, they were subjected to mock tomahawk-chop chants. But it was Lee who grabbed control of the game from the outset and refused to let go. He retired 16 consecutive batters before Dan Uggla’s hard shot hit off Lee and resulted in an infield single with one out in the seventh. Lee then ended the inning by getting Matt Diaz to ground into a double play. Quickly, of course. Lee has won each of his last seven starts and is tied with Roy Halladay for the club lead with 16 victories. He has allowed no runs in five of those starts. When Lee struck out Alex Gonzalez in the second inning, it was the first 200strikeout season of his career. He became the fourth Phillies lefty to do so. Lee also continued to bring the skills of an everyday player. He snared a hard grounder to begin a 1-6-3 double play in the eighth, and in the bottom of the inning singled and scored. On a night when just about everything went well for the Phillies, Chase Utley showed signs of breaking out of a funk with a single, triple, and two runs scored. Any frustration the Phillies felt from an ugly weekend at Florida began to dissipate early when Pence singled home Placido Polanco and Utley off Derek Lowe in the first. An error by Atlanta shortstop Gonzalez gave Victorino the chance to raise the lead to 4-0 with a fourth-inning single. Ruiz broke open the game with a two-run single in the fifth. By the seventh inning, many in the sellout crowd began filing through the exits, grateful that they could recover from the holiday weekend with eight hours’ sleep, courtesy of Cliff Lee.

whose streak stands second in NFL history to Brett Favre’s among all QBs. Team officials have not said how much longer it could take Manning to recover, leaving that decision to Manning and his doctors. Over the years, life without Manning has been pretty dismal. The only time he missed a regular-season snap because of injury, against Miami in 2001, backup Mark Rypien fumbled. The Dolphins recovered, then drove 59 yards for the winning score. Manning returned on the next series with a bloody mouth. He was later diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his jaw. On the rare occasions when Manning has played sparingly, in the preseason and meaningless late-season games, the Colts have not fared much better. The goal now is to change that trend. “If anything, we want to go out there and step it up,” Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea said. “Of course it will be different (without Manning), but it’s one of those things that if it happens, everybody else has to step up. It’s next man up.” That’s been true at every position but one over the past13 years in Indy. And now the Colts’ longtime mantra will be put to its most challenging test. Manning had surgery to repair a nerve May 23, but the recovery has taken longer than the expected six to eight weeks that would have put back on the field for the start of training camp. Instead, Manning started camp on the physically unable to perform list and wasn’t activated till last Monday. He did limited work at practice last week, which led to complaints about back pain. The team issued a statement Monday saying that team doctors re-evaluated Manning over the weekend and instructed him to stop practicing while he undergoes more tests. No additional surgery has been scheduled. “At the conclusion of the diagnostic process, if there are any new developments in the prognosis which we outlined for Peyton at the start of training camp we will report them,” the statement said. “As of now, Peyton continues to deal with a complicated neurological recovery, the end

world. “I don’t know if I’m the best or not,” she said. “I believe I am and I think a lot of other girls, women in the locker room, believe they are, too, as they should. I don’t think anyone should go out and say that they’re not.” In men’s play, the highestranked American, eighth-seeded Mardy Fish, lost to 11th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-7 (5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. Fish was trying to make it past the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the second time. But his play dipped in the fourth set, and he was treated by a trainer for a right leg problem before the fifth. “Old age, I guess,” said the 29year-old American. The top seed on the men’s side, Novak Djokovic, opened his fourth-round match with a thrilling 16-14 first-set tiebreaker

Maryland gets a late FG to beat a Miami team missing 8 suspended players. By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Nick Ferrara kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:39 left, Danny O’Brien threw for 348 yards and a touchdown, and Maryland beat short-handed Miami 32-24 on Monday night in coach Randy Edsall’s first game with the Terrapins. Miami was playing its initial game under Al Golden without eight suspended players, includMARYLAND ing quarterback Jacory Harris, linebacker Sean MIAMI Spence and defensive linemen Marcus Forston and Adewale Ojomo. Stephen Morris capably filled in for Harris, going 19 for 28 for 195 yards and running for a touchdown. But on a fourthand-4 in the final minute, the sophomore threw an interception that Cameron Chism took 54 yards for the clinching score with 39 seconds remaining. It was the second touchdown by the Maryland defense, both involving Chism. He also forced a fumble that provided the Terps with a 20-14 halftime lead. The Hurricanes, conversely, struggled defensively from the outset in this Atlantic Coast Conference duel. Maryland amassed 311 yards and 19 first downs in the first half alone and finished with 499 yards, including 92 yards on 21 carries by Davin Meggett. But the seesaw game came down to the closing minutes. Soon after O’Brien completed a 52-yard pass to Kevin Dorsey down the right sideline, Ferrera entered only one series after missing from 23 yards out. This one, however, was right down the middle. Chism then provided the clincher. A year ago, O’Brien went 9 for

28 for 134 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Hurricanes. In this one, he was 31 for 44 — including 19 for 26 for 228 yards after only four series. But Maryland couldn’t put the finish on several impressive drives. The Terrapins got to the Miami 11 or closer on six occasions, yet they scored only one touchdown and twice came away with nothing. The Terrapins emerged from the locker room with new white uniforms patterned after the state flag. They wore wild helmets spashed with red and white on the left side and black and yellow on the right, and the pattern continued to the shoulders. As decreed by Edsall, there were no names on the back. Edsall took over for Ralph Friedgen, who was fired in December after a 10-year run. The Hurricanes took a 21-20 lead early in the third quarter on a 5-yard run by Morris. Mary-

land regained the lead when Ferrara kicked his third field goal to end a 14-play drive. The pattern ended when Miami received three penalties, including two straight for delay of game, and had to punt. O’Brien began moving the Terps in a march that bridged the third and fourth quarters. In the middle of the drive, a rain that began at halftime picked up in intensity. Maryland managed to get a first-and-goal at the Miami 5, but could get no closer before Ferrara’s field goal try sailed off to the right. Morris then directed a 67yard march that ended with a 30-yard field goal by Jake Wieclaw for a 24-23 lead with 4:01 remaining. Miami converted a fourth-and-1 on the drive and also benefited from a questionable defensive holding call on Chism. That, however, would be the Hurricanes’ final surge.

win over No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov. Things got easier from there in a 7-6 (14), 6-4, 6-2 victory. “This is one of the longest tiebreaks I ever played,” Djokovic said. “It was certainly exciting to be part of it. But, you know, I knew that I needed to win that set.” Djokovic saved four set points and finally closed out the set on his sixth chance. When Dolgopolov missed a forehand to give Djokovic the set, Djokovic pumped his fist and put his hands to his ears to take in the applause from the fans at Louis Armstrong Stadium, which sees fewer and fewer headliners as the tournament progresses and the big matches move into Ashe. “It was a packed stadium. It was a different experience because I haven’t played on that court for a while,” Djokovic said. In the women’s match, 16thseeded Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open champion and a one-time world No. 1, came in on a rebound after a slide down the

rankings into the 60s. At times against Williams, flashes of the old Ivanovic showed, especially when she drew back to 3-3 in the first set after dropping the first three games in eight minutes. Taking the ball early, unafraid to step inside the baseline to return Williams’ second serves, Ivanovic was the aggressor during that portion and in parts of the second set when she tried, unsuccessfully, to make up the break she lost in the first game. But she couldn’t overcome eight double faults, including three while serving at 3-4 in the first set, and didn’t have an answer for Williams who was less aggressive (16 winners to 20 for Ivanovic), but more consistent (14 unforced errors to 29) and also had more bite on her serve (nine aces). “My serve broke down a little more than hers,” Ivanovic said. “I still created lots of opportunities and I felt I was stepping up a lot and I just felt that was the biggest difference today.” Next up for Williams is No. 17

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who made it to her second Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 win over former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone. The three-set match included 16 service breaks over 31 games and, appropriately enough, ended when Pavlyuchenkova hit a forehand winner on match point to break Schiavone’s serve for the ninth time. The players combined for 21 double-faults. “I’m going to say that I don’t want to go out there and enjoy just being on center court playing against Serena,” Pavlyuchenkova said. “I would like to do well, try to fight, and with my effort, I’ll try to beat her.” In other early play, 20th-seeded Janko Tipsarevic outlasted 2003 French champion Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a match that took 3 hours, 43 minutes. Tipsarevic will play Djokovic in an all-Serb quarterfinal. Playing Monday night were No. 3 Roger Federer and topseeded Caroline Wozniacki.

in the International League North Division and missing the postseason for the first time since the New York Yankees moved their Triple-A affiliate to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2007. But a handful of Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees still have some season remaining. A group of them, most notably outfielder Greg Golson, was promoted to parent New York following the game. The rest will wait for next year to play again. "Unfortunately we didn’t get to the postseason," Miley said, "but a lot of positive things happened." Two of those plusses came through Monday. Vazquez smoked a two-run double to give the Yankees a lead in the first inning, then crushed his franchise-record 32nd home run high over the center field wall in the third. That 3-0 advantage was plenty for Mitchell. He used a reliable sinker and solid command to finish a teambest 13-9 during his first full Triple-A season. "Nobody wants the season to end with the regular season," Mitchell said. "Of course I’d love to pitch in the postseason. (But) this was our last game. "Nobody wants to go out losing." So Mitchell went out and pitched a gem. He held Buffalo scoreless on six hits, and struck out seven while walking two. The biggest Bisons threat against him came in the eighth, when singles by Luis Figueroa and Vaentino Pascucci put runners on first and third with two outs. But Mitchell fanned Mike Baxter to strike out the side, and pretty much end all

GROSSMAN IS REDSKINS’ QB ASHBURN, Va. — It’s Rex. By the proverbial nose of the football. Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan ended the suspense Monday and announced Rex Grossman as the starting quarterback, giving the nine-year veteran the nod over John Beck going into Sunday’s season opener against the New York Giants. “I’ve got a lot of faith in both of them. It was very competitive all the way through,” Shanahan said. “I thought Rex won by an edge.”

date of which is unpredictable.” Losing Manning for any time, even one week, would be a shock to Indy fans. Not only has he never missed a start, he’s rarely missed practice. Manning sat out one week of training camp in1998 before signing his rookie contract. It was a decade later when he missed all of training camp in 2008 because he underwent surgery twice to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. The only other time his playing status was in doubt was 2001 after he was injured at Minnesota in a preseason game. Somehow, he’s always made it back for game day. “I’m sure it’s killing him,” receiver Anthony Gonzalez said. “I’ve not spoken to him, but knowing him, how hard he’s working, how many hours he’s put into it, I’m sure it’s hurting.” The last quarterback other than Manning to start for Indy was Jim Harbaugh, now the San Francisco 49ers coach. Many who know Manning well aren’t counting him out yet. On Monday, coach Jim Caldwell urged caution to those already writing the end of the streak. Former Colts coach Tony Dungy, now an NBC analyst, told viewers recently he expected Manning to play unless he was “dead.” Harbaugh had been thinking the same way before the latest twist in this saga. “Watching Peyton Manning, the pro, the competitor, I’m not going to take your word for it that he’s not going to be in there for the first ballgame,” he told reporters Aug. 25. “So the streak may indeed just rage on.” Still, the Colts are preparing as if the second-longest starting streak by an NFL quarterback will be history after Sunday. Sixteen-year veteran Kerry Collins came out of retirement, presumably to back up Manning in case this happened. suspense. "I thought it was pretty good," Mitchell said of his season. "I had my ups and downs. I’d like to become more consistent at times." But he picked the perfect time to finish up strong while sending Scranton/Wilkes-Barre off on a high note. "It was awesome," Miley said. "I’d say probably our most valuable pitcher and Vazqy, probably our most valuable player (came through). It was nice to get the win at home." The Yankees sealed it when Jordan Parraz belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning for a 5-0 lead. That stood up until a rainy ninth inning, when second baseman Doug Bernier lost his grip on a relay throw to bring home the only Bisons run. "Obviously, with the situation next year, we win our last game, that’s outstanding," Miley said. HOW THEY SCORED YANKEES FIRST: Kevin Russo led off by flaring a single just over shortstop, then Ramiro Pena followed with a looping single to center field. One out later, Jorge Vazquez sent them both home by drilling a two-run double to leftcenter. YANKEES 2, BISONS 0. YANKEES THIRD: Jorge Vazquez belted a booming, two-out homer deep over the center field wall. YANKEES 3, BISONS 0. YANKEES SIXTH: Austin Romine began the inning by grounding a single to left field, and one out later, Jordan Parraz went deep with a ringing shot over the left-center field fence. YANKEES 5, BISONS 0. BISONS NINTH: Luis Hernandez drew a leadoff walk and moved to second base on a sharp single by Saloman Manriquez. Hernandez scored when Yankees second baseman Doug Bernier overthrew first in a hard rain while trying to complete a double play. YANKEES 5, BISONS 1.

to envision a repeat of last year’s undefeated regular season, the returning starters have knowledge of the game and the experience needed to win. Wyoming Valley West: Last year’s District 2-11 Class 3A champions, the Spartans will look to several returning starters to show they can win games again this season and possibly improve on their record from last year. TOP PLAYERS Anna Dessoye, Crestwood: The senior had a great season for the Comets last year on their way to a district championship. The midfielder shows superb offensive skill and will provide solid leadership to a team that graduated seven starters last year. Kirby Szalkowski, Dallas: The senior midfielder/forward returns after a solid 2010 campaign. She is a great leader both on and off the field, and shows the ability to be a very productive player this season. Shannon Glennon, Hanover Area: The senior is one of several returning players for the Hawks this season. A solid defender, Glennon also provides leadership and a sense of stability that could help Hanover Area improve its win total this

season. AshLeigh Sebia, Wyoming Seminary: The senior had a great season in 2010, earning a first-team all-state berth. An elite offensive player, her experience will surely benefit a team that is coming off winning a state championship. Kristian Stefanides, Wyoming Seminary: The senior played well for Wyoming Seminary on its path to a state championship last year. With the large number of players who graduated following last season, her leadership will be all the more important to this team.

Webb Simpson snares victory The Associated Press

NORTON, Mass. — Webb Simpson finished off an amazing comeback with three clutch birdies, the final one on the second extra playoff hole Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship for his second win in three weeks. On a day filled with big crowds and big moments appropriate to the FedEx Cup playoffs, Simpson delivered a stunning conclusion on the TPC Boston. He looked as if he would be the runner-up until knocking in a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 65. That put him into a playoff when Chez Reavie, who had birdied the toughest holes on the back nine, made bogey on the easiest

hole on the course at No. 18 for a 66. The finished regulation at 15-under 269. On the 18th hole in the playoff, Simpson again looked to be out of luck when Reavie chipped to tap-in range for birdie. But Simpson rolled in a 15-foot putt to keep the playoff going, and then won with an 8-foot putt on the 17th hole. Simpson won his first PGA Tour title three weeks ago at the Wyndham Championship, putting him in good shape for the FedEx Cup playoffs and the chase for a $10 million prize. Now, he goes to No. 1 in the standings and is assured of being among the top five when the FedEx Cup concludes at the Tour Championship at the end of the month.

IRVING, Texas — Not even cancer surgery can keep former NFL coach Buddy Ryan from being in the stands when his twin sons coach against each other Sunday night in the prime-time opener between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets. Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said Monday his dad was diagnosed last week with a form of cancer “in his gland that’s right through his neck.” Brother Rex, the Jets coach, said through a team spokesman that it was the parotid gland, the largest of the salivary glands. Having already beaten melanoma in 1968 and ’80, and another form of the disease earlier this year, the 80-year-old Ryan said this was “less serious” except that “whenever you go under anesthesia, you never know what’s going to happen.” So he told doctors to postpone the operation until he returns from the Meadowlands to see Rob and the Cowboys play against Rex and the Jets. He said he’ll fly to New York on Friday and will return to his home in Kentucky on Monday. “They said to go ahead and go,” Ryan said during a telephone interview. “I’ve got to be able to do something” while waiting for the operation. Rob Ryan said his dad’s ap-

proach to fighting the disease is typical. “That’s just the way he is,” he said. “This is a big thing Ryan for him, a big thing for the Ryans. He’s just about the only guy that’s beaten cancer about every time. He’s been through it about four or five times. I’m sure the prognosis is great for him because he always wins.” He said his father’s illness will be more motivation than distraction. “All he taught us is ‘Do the job,”’ Rob said. “Obviously, (we’re) praying a lot for him and things have to go well because that’s what it is. But he raised us to do the job. Whatever we do, we’re going to be the best at it — and that’s what we are.” Buddy Ryan was defensive coordinator of two Super Bowl champions, the Joe Namath-led Jets who pulled off the huge upset in 1969, and the 1985 Bears who ran his 46 defense to perfection. He is also known for throwing a punch at the offensive coordinator while he was running the Oilers’ defense. Ryan also had stints as the head coach of the Eagles and the Cardinals. The brothers have squared off before, and every time is special for the Ryan family, especially the patriarch. “This game’s important to him,” Rob said. “He wants to see these two rams bat heads.”

Under a thick deck of nimbostratus clouds and a north wind, temperatures all day today will hover close to the morning lows. Indeed today, will be our coolest day since back on June 1. Above 8,000 feet the wind will continue to blow from the southwest and the due south by Wednesday and this will sustain a large area of rain along a stalled front up and down the east coast. Additional rainfall here today and tomorrow will range between 1” and 3.” By Thursday drier air aloft will diminish the rain and by the weekend our weather should return to some sense of decency. - Tom Clark

Youth boxing is getting pummeled by pediatricians in a new policy statement opposing such pugilism as too dangerous of an athletic activity for children. The position statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Paediatric Society argues that the high risk of concus-

sion could damage young brains while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still developing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pediatricians should strongly discourage boxing participation among their patients and guide them toward alternative sport and recreational activities that do not encourage intentional head injuries,â&#x20AC;? coauthors Laura Purcell and Claire LeBlanc, both doctors affiliated with

the Canadian Paediatric Society, wrote in the journal Pediatrics. More than 18,000 children younger than 19 were registered with USA Boxing, according to the paper. This may not sound like a huge number when compared with the number of school-age kids involved in sports like football or baseball. But for disadvantaged

Promoting positive image Black Male Engagement program in Philadelphia raising awareness of HIV/AIDS through barber shops By VERNON CLARK The Philadelphia Inquirer

hawn White reaches out to Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black community by organizing barbers to help raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. White, 39, a research technician at the University of Pennsylvania, said he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;trying to build on the relationships that barbers have with young people. ... Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we chose barbers.â&#x20AC;? Wendell Dingle, 23, a student at Temple University, helps others in the black community by offering free income tax preparation and assistance to families filling out federal student aid forms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get the personal satisfaction of making someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life a little easier in some sort of way,â&#x20AC;? Dingle said. White and Dingle are among more than 180 black men in Philadelphia and about 100 in Detroit who since the beginning of August have posted their stories in an online video project spotlighting black men who are leading the way in boosting their communities.

New CD aims to make healthy eating groovy By JULIE DEARDORFF Chicago Tribune

In Tom Chapinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ultimate Lunchroom,â&#x20AC;? the school lunches are nutritious â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and free â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because the students grow the food themselves in the garden. Meals are served on real dishes, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less plastic and no Styrofoam. And when lunch is over, the children head to the compost bin, a practice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cool they also do it See MUSIC, Page 2C

The project is focused on Philadelphia and Detroit because they are cities where the Knight brothers once owned newspapers, including The Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News. If the pilot program succeeds, Shorters said, it will be expanded to other places. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was inspired by the recognition that black men and boys in a lot of our comSee PROJECT, Page 3C

ings? A: Outside of the hospital setting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty unlikely for anyone to develop anemia just from having periodically blood draws. While those tubes may seem like a lot in number, the average amount of blood collected per tube is only about 5 or 6cc â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or about a teaspoon of blood per tube. However, frequent blood collection in hospitalized patients is a potentially serious issue. Repeated blood draws over many days in the hospital, particularly in a very sick patient whose bone marrow isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working well enough to replace lost red blood cells, can lead to anemia or a worsening of pre-existing anemia. This is of particular importance in folks who have an underlying cardiac condition like a recent heart attack or congestive heart failure, where providing adequate oxygenation to injured heart tissue is critical. Anemia can stress the body, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good thing. To prevent this from happening, doctors should be more judicious in their ordering of daily blood work for their hospitalized patients. Also, switching to smaller pediatric blood collection tubes will cut the amount of blood removed in half. Q: According to the patient information I received from Medco pertaining to those taking levothyroxine, they advise taking the (thyroid) tablet with a full glass of water because it can dissolve very quickly and swell in the throat and cause choking. Given the small size of the tablet, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hard pressed to believe there is any real danger of swelling to any appreciable size to cause choking. Is there a real risk of choking? A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a physician for more than 21 years and have never heard about a person choking directly as a result of a thyroid tablet rapidly dissolving and swelling in the throat. The Physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Desk Reference does not mention any potential tablet swelling issues with Synthroid (brand name levothyroxine); rather, that taking Synthroid at the same time as calcium, antacids, iron, Questran and Xenical/ Alli can affect its absorption and decrease its effectiveness. I agree with you that there are much larger tablets and capsules out there in Pharmacyland capable of getting lodged in the throat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in folks who have any esophageal narrowing or motility problems. That said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to take pills with a tall glass of water to help them go down smoothly, reduce the risk of GI upset and move them more easily through the stomach.

Music for Free-Range Earthlings,” serves up 14 nutritionally and environmentally conscious songs that tackle a wide range of nationally debated food issues. In addition to school lunches, Chapin comments on several of his longtime interests: hunger, local and sustainable farming practices, good food choices, slow food, family meals and positive self-image. He also introduces his listeners to a spunky little beanstalk that’s growing in the first lady’s garden. Though the songs are meant for entertainment, he also hopes that “Give PEAS a Chance” will be used as an educational tool. Teachers and parents can download teaching materials related to

The song “The Junk Food Pyramid” is a funny, cautionary tale of a junk food binge and crash. Here’s how Chapin suggests using it as an educational tool: • Label reading 101: Explain the difference between fresh food and processed foods. Point out the list of ingredients and then teach kids how to read the nutrition label. Go to www.fda.gov and type “nutrition label” into the search engine. • Treasure hunt: Ask your child to raid the

cupboards in search of the product with the most ingredients and the one with the least. Copy down the list of ingredients and see if your child can tell which ones are from the earth and which are created artificially. • Serve up a Food Plate: The government’s “Food Pyramid” recently morphed into the “Food Plate.” But no worries — the updated choosemyplate.gov has tips and resources for parents on how to eat a balanced diet.

listening to the song says, ’What’s a carnivore?’ it could spark a conversation,” said Chapin. “The Ultimate Lunchroom,” a happy and upbeat school-lunch anthem, was inspired by Jan Poppendieck’s book, “Free for All: Fixing School Food in America.” Poppendieck, a board member of the nonprofit organization WhyHunger, now starts all her speeches

compelling argument. I think it’s very, very tough (to ignore the benefits of boxing),” said Dr. Danelle Fisher, vice chair of pediatrics at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., who was not involved in the paper. “Some of these kids, just by getting them off the street, are so much safer.” “But while you’re getting them out of the neighborhood where there are gangs, drugs and other dangers,” she added, “you want to make sure you’re not also putting them at risk.” Even though other sports, like football or soccer, may have higher overall injury risk, boxing specifically targets the head and torso — meaning injuries to the head are much more frequent. Repeated concussions, Fisher said, can lead to seizures, dementia and corrupt the brain’s information processing abilities. And as the paper’s authors point out, younger brains may be more at risk of damage. “The adolescent brain is still a developing organism. There’s even some evidence that the brain continues to develop into the early 20s,” Fisher said. The paper recommends that pediatricians steer their patients away from boxing to other sports, like swimming or basketball, and that doctors educate patients, parents and coaches about the medical risks.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

Animal hair loss can be normal to problematic ALLISON first noticed clumps of hair around the house about four weeks ago. Those clumps have begun to multiply, and now Cali is visibly naked, especially on her back. Allison, while tired of cleaning up the hair, is more concerned with what might be causing her mixed-breed dog’s hair loss. I must admit that there are simply too many possibilities to address when we consider a possible cause for Cali’s hair loss. Instead, I will approach her case using a flow-chart technique to narrow the choices. At the top of the chart is the problem/symptom — hair loss. First, we need to determine whether Cali’s hair loss is simply a matter of shedding, and therefore normal, or if it is excessive. Since Allison reports areas of bare skin on Cali’s body, I am going to assume her hair loss is pathologic. From there, we need to decide whether the hair is being lost because of traumatic removal (I made that phrase up) or falling out of its own accord. To determine whether the hair loss is traumatic, especially if you do not see your pet chewing out or otherwise removing its hair, simply look at the skin where the hair is missing. Are the hairs broken or is the skin devoid of any remnants of hair? If they’re broken, there is trauma involved. If there are no remaining hairs, it has fallen out. Hair loss is most commonly because of animals scratching, rubbing or biting at themselves to relieve an itch. This results in

YOUR PET JEFF KAHLER, D.V.M. the loss of hair. Hair falling out without apparent cause is much less common. The causes for non-traumarelated hair loss are usually hormonal. Diseases such as hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease and diabetes can lead to hair loss. These diseases usually have other symptoms associated with them, and hair loss is not one of the early symptoms, but it sometimes is the first symptom noticed by pet owners. To diagnose hormonal causes for hair loss, we usually use one or more blood tests. Treatment can be initiated, and over time, the hair may grow back. It may, however, be a different color. Hair loss due to trauma usually occurs as a result of pruritus. These patients itch. What might cause the itching? I could write a book on that subject. We start with the most common stuff and work our way down. In Cali’s case, we are not sure what type of hair loss she is experiencing, but odds are it’s traumatic. Maybe Cali has something simple, such as fleas. Perhaps she has an allergic condition. She might have mange. That’s only a start. One thing’s for sure, there is an underlying cause, and Cali needs that answer. She needs to be examined.

cial and other support for their projects in the program’s second phase, which runs through November. “This is about guys who figure out ways to help make their communities strong and to go above and beyond the typical,” Shorter said. He said images associated with black males often are “absent, problem, or threat -- all of those connoting a population that ends up being less engaged in the issues that matter.” Shorter said challenging stereotypes was “not the objective, although I am sure we will challenge them along the way.” White, whose work with barbers is called Shape Up, Barbers Building Better Brothers, said he had been with the project, conducted by the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, since 2009,

spreading the word about safe sex. “We’re trying to see if interventions will work through barbershops,” White said. “We’re trying to increase condom use and reduce multiple partnerships among 18-to-21-year-old heterosexual African-American males around the city.” Dingle said he was working to increase the number of black students in colleges by helping families apply for financial aid. “I go into the schools and I meet with students and counselors,” Dingle said. “I get them to dedi-

cate a night and I send out fliers so they can invite parents and students to come in and fill out their” forms. Shorters said the hope of the Black Male Engagement project was to present hundreds of stories of black men and boys of all economic backgrounds working to improve their communities. What makes this project special, Shorters said, “is the assumption that black men are assets to our communities, how they are helping others rather than how others can help them.”

Aunt who heard minister’s confession should keep her vow of silence Dear Abby: My nephew, “Charles,” a minister in his 50s, confided to me that he is unhappy in his marriage and is attracted to someone else. He asked me to keep this confidential, and I have. Charles’ wife and I are together a few hours per week on a regular basis. She is concerned because he seems depressed and spends most of his time at home sleeping. She knows Charles considers me a mother figure now that both his parents are deceased. She is suggesting that perhaps he has shared with me some of the reasons for his depression. I feel horrible. If this comes out — and it will — Charles’ wife will feel

DEAR ABBY ADVICE betrayed on many levels. I don’t know what to do. Can you help? — In Too Deep in Michigan Dear In Too Deep: Your nephew’s wife is on a fishing expedition. That’s why she’s “suggesting” he might have shared confidences with you. Do not betray them. Instead, tell her that if she’s concerned about her husband’s state of mind, the person she should be asking is HIM. It’s the truth. Dear Abby: Before my husband’s 30th birthday, I worked hard planning a surprise party for him. Family mem-

bers came from other states, and I had housing available for all of them. I hid the food and other supplies at friends’ homes. Things went well, and my husband was thrilled to see his family and friends. My milestone birthday was last year, and my husband didn’t do anything special. I didn’t mind because I had told him I was “done aging.” However, I accidentally discovered he’s planning something this year. While on vacation at my in-laws’, I saw his mother had reserved the date of the party on her calendar. When I visited his sister, the invitation was open on the dining room table. I was able to see all the details of my “surprise.” When I went to our mailbox, I found two invitations to my party that were undeliverable. I pretended

I’d forgotten to pick up the mail and asked him to get it. Should I tell my husband I know about the party or continue to play “dumb”? I feel guilty for knowing. — Not So Surprised

what do I do? How long should I remain standing, waiting for him or her to sit down? I have experienced this issue with the baby-boomer generation — people in their 50s and 60s who refuse to take the seat. Any help you can offer would be great. — Minding My Manners in New York

Dear Not So Surprised: Stop feeling guilty — you did nothing wrong. Keep your mouth shut and act surprised. Your husband is going to a lot of trouble to give you a special gift, and you should accept it in the spirit in which it is being given.

Dear Minding Your Manners: (And beautiful manners they are.) If one of the eternally young refuses your generous offer, the appropriate thing to do is sit back down. No harm, no foul.

Dear Abby: I’m a 31-year-old woman who was taught growing up that if a person older than I doesn’t have a seat, to give mine up. I now have a few questions about this practice. If someone refuses the seat I offer,

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though some have said you have nerves of steel, when you are tired, you can get spooked easily. For instance, tonight you’ll get a glimpse of a red flag and run the other way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone is talking an interesting talk to you, and you wonder whether this person can put action behind these words. Test the waters in some small way before jumping in. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When someone has a problem, you feel a responsibility to help. That’s why you won’t deal with it when it’s convenient for you — you’ll handle it in the moment of need. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll take pride in a job well done, even though you didn’t technically do the work yourself. Cultivating a winning team is a commendable talent, though. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The most dramatic change will also be the simplest one. Instead of trying to get yourself to change in a million ways at once, pick one small, easy-to-follow rule. For instance, don’t go online while you’re supposed to be working! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You won’t let go of an idea. You’ll work through it, examining it from every angle to figure out what it’s really about and, more importantly, how useful it really is to you now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stress will act as your friend. It will be an alarm clock, letting you know that it’s time to rise to the occasion and be your best self. Stress is making you strong.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to project a more glamorous image. Gearing up to do this will put you in touch with what exactly it is you have to offer and why you do it like no one else could. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are genuinely curious about your leaders. Because of your interest, you will become aligned in some powerful way. You’ll make an impression. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your passion for music and art will bring you together with fellow enthusiasts. You’ll share information and gain more than knowledge — you’ll have a sense of belonging. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be dealing with an ever-evolving set of rules and regulations. It’s not the bureaucracy that makes things complicated; it’s the way you think about it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The body can’t help but give in to the passage of time. But the mind can be eternally young. You’ll revel in your youth without regard to the number of years you’ve been on the earth. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 6). People relate easily to you, and there are many who feel that you are one of their own. You’ll thrive this month as you provide well for others. In October, you’ll win a kind of competition. Commitments and deals will be inked in December. In the new year, you’ll cultivate talents such as cooking, photography or sports. Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 50, 41, 37 and 45.
