The landmark must be demolished, but no one wants to pick up $1 million pricetag

WILKES-BARRE – Engineers say recent flood waters damaged the former Hotel Sterling beyond repair and the historic structure must be razed before it collapses, and no local officials have disagreed. What remains a point of contention is who should pay for the job. CityVest, the owner of the building, has little to no money in

its coffers, according to county officials who have seen the non-profit corporation’s financials. And the city Urban of Wilkes-Barre, which paid for engineers to inspect the 113-year-old building a week ago, doesn’t have funds to cover the estimated $1 million demolition cost available either.

Engineers say the Sterling Hotel at the corner of North River Street and West Market Street in WilkesBarre has to be demolished. Area officials, however, disagree on who should pay for it.

Butch Frati, the city’s director of operations, has said the city is looking into whether any portion of the demolition costs might be covered by federal disaster funds, given that the already deteriorating structure was further damaged by flooding. That application would have to be made by CityVest, he said. Alex Rogers, director of CityVest, could not be reached for comSee STERLING, Page 12A

WASHINGTON – Republican Reps. Lou Barletta and Tom Marino split Wednesday over a $3.7 billion disaster relief bill, a measure that was backed by House GOP leaders but went down to defeat 195-230.

Barletta, of Hazleton, voted against the measure, saying he favors a Senate bill that offers nearly $7 billion in disaster relief funding nationally. Marino, of Lycoming Township, voted in favor, saying the

House bill included $1 billion in relief funds that would go out to communities before the Sept. 30 end of the 2011federal fiscal year. The disaster relief funding was part of an overarching shortterm spending measure that

NEW YORK — Facebook is at it again. The social network is tweaking the home pages of its 750 million users, much to the chagrin of some very vocal folks.

Pittston flood figures on way City will have ‘considerable’ tally of damage and costs for Luzerne County officials. By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

PITTSTON -- The city intends to formally submit its official flood damage assessment claims to Luzerne County by the end of the business day today. City Manager Joe Moskovitz avoided mentioning any figures associated with cost but noted some of the claims add up to “considerable amounts.” He acknowledged the city’s damage is far less than that of neighboring municipalities Duryea Borough and Jenkins Township, but he said many businesses and homes were severely affected. Pictures of the area around Cooper’s Seafood Restaurant on Kennedy Boulevard quickly became some of the most haunting images of the early September flooding. Today’s assessment will include claims for emergency worker overtime hours, equipment used and lent to other flood-affected communities and damage to the city’s infrastructure. In other business, city firefighter Walter Knowles was awarded a medal for locating and helping rescue Rusty Root from a fire at the city’s South Main Street Apollo Apartment complex. After locating and treating Root, Knowles was aided by other firefighters in evacuating

Knowles, a nine-year veteran with the fire department, recalled the incident as the most intense he had experienced in his career. He was joined by fellow firefighters for a photograph before the start of Wednesday night’s regular council meeting. Mayor Jason Klush took the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of the city’s emergency personnel as well as all who came together in response the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee. Klush noted seeing the river rise as quickly as it did and said he recalled with pride the manner in which the city’s workers and volunteers were able to react quickly and responsibly to the natural disaster. In other business, it was announced that the Pittston City Library will be applying for $500,000 in grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and $30,000 in grant funding from the state Department of Education. Although the city owns the library building, it charges no rent to the library and takes no control over its operations. The library’s intentions to improve and expand do however fall in line with the city’s overall renovation and renewal plans.

WILKES-BARRE – Jeremy Packard is a student of history – he holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in the field – and believes political parties have caused problems that are going on at the local, state and national levels. He said an independent voice is needed to serve as a check and balance on the two major parties and he wants to be that voice on the new Luzerne County Council in January. So the retired president of Wyoming Seminary formally announced on Wednesday his intention to run in November for the council. There are 11 seats, and 11 Republicans, 11 Democrats, three Libertarians, two Independents and one American Independent Party candidate have filed paperwork to appear on the Nov. 8 general election ballot. Packard, 73, of Kingston, said the decision to have 11 seats on the council was made by the Government Study Commission that drafted the home rule charter to give a majority to one party over another. He said if that were to happen, the county’s residents would lose. “We need to have independent voices,” Packard told a crowd of nearly 30 gathered in the Foundation Room at Genetti Hotel & Conference Center in downtown Wilkes-Barre. He said the first council that is seated next year will have a hand in making the most important decision that anybody will make in its first year, and that is hiring the nonelected county manager.

Retired Wyoming Seminary president Jeremy Packard announces his run for Luzerne County Council as an Independent.

J E R E M Y PA C K A R D Age: 73 Resides: Kingston Political Party: Independent Family: Married to wife Ingrid Cronin. The couple have three children. Packard also has two children from a previous marriage. Education: Graduated from the Choate School in Wallingford, Conn., in 1955; earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., in

1959 and a master’s in history from Columbia University in Manhattan, N.Y., in 1964. Career: Served as president at Wyoming Seminary from 19902007 before retiring. He’s currently an adjunct, part-time history faculty member at Misericordia University. Contact: www.packard-for-council.com

If political parties get involved and start pushing council members to support their choice, he said the county may be in no better shape than it has been in recent years as dozens of elected officials, including judges and a county commissioner, have been indicted on corruption-related charges. Many in the audience liked what they heard, including Andrew Bigda of Forty Fort. Bigda, a former county assistant district attorney, is registered as a Democrat but agreed with Packard that an independent voice is needed on council to help turn the county around. “I think highly of Jere Ri-

chard,” Bigda said. “I think that the dangers he brings up are appropriate. We’re in this mess because of the old-school political machine.” Packard was a lifelong Republican but became disenfranchised with what’s been going on in recent years. He said he got involved with the crafting of the Home Rule Charter, including serving on the “Home Rule Yes” steering committee, because government is an interest of his. Packard said he knows more about the charter and “the way it’s supposed to work than most do,” and he wants to bring that knowledge and his independence to the council.

More rain will fall, but record may stand

A new air quality study by a Pennsylvania environmental advocacy group found the commonwealth has the sixth-most smog-ridden air in the nation. The air quality in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton region is not as bad as other metropolitan areas around the state and the country, but the

advent of natural gas drilling could contribute to a worsening of air quality in the long run, a spokeswoman for the environmental group said Wednesday. The report, titled “Danger in the Air: Unhealthy Days in 2010 and 2011,” was published by Philadelphia-based citizens environmental advocacy organization PennEnvironment Re-

search and Policy Center. It ranked American metropolitan areas by the number of days when the air quality exceeded the national health standard for smog pollution set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency in 2008. Overall, Pennsylvania cities ranked sixth on the list, with See SMOG, Page 7A

If the forecast stays true, the WilkesBarre/Scranton area may jump into fourth place for rainfall in 2011. Clark said there is a good chance most of the rain will stay farther east of WilkesBarre/Scranton. “We’re going to get more rain later on in the week, but it’s not going to be an excessive rainfall,” Clark said. “A majority of that rain will stay to the east of us. It doesn’t seem to be enough rain to raise some flooding concerns.” The Susquehanna River in WilkesBarre, which reached a record crest of 42.6 feet on Sept. 9, is expected to stay well within its natural flood stage of 22 feet, according to the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center. “We’ve had some heavy rainfall events,” Clark said about 2011. “Of course, we had Hurricane Irene come by and we recently had Tropical Storm Lee opening up that tropical connection. We’ve had a number of heavy rainfall events and we had a wet spring on top of it all.” There have been 44 days with periods of heavy rain since February, NWS records say.

Flooding may wash away all of Wyoming Area’s snow days Unless state deems otherwise, the district could lose all its built-in days, plus one more. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WYOMING – Depending on what the state Department of Education does, area school districts could be forced to use several of their snow make-up days before the temperature even dips below freezing. But Wyoming Area has the biggest potential loss: A bad state ruling could wipe out all built-in snow days, plus one. The downpours and widespread evacuations of lowlands prompted all Luzerne County school districts to close for at least the two heaviest days of rain. A few remained closed a day or two beyond that. But flood devastation for many residents in Wyoming Area’s

boundaries prompted that district to remain closed for five days after the storm subsided and the Susquehanna River receded. Most district superintendents expect the Bernardi state Department of Education to allow them to write off the two days of closure during the deluge – Gov. Tom Corbett had already declared a state of emergency before the closings occurred, and there is precedence for such exemptions to the legal mandate for 180 school days in a year. Essentially, districts could then run their calendars unaltered, having 178 school days instead. But Wyoming Area lost those first two days plus five others the following week. Superintendent Ray Bernardi said the district has asked the state to exempt the district from making up any of those

days, but conceded that may be less likely than getting a waiver for the first two days. If the state doesn’t exempt the district for the five additional days, it would all but wipe out six snow days built into the calendar, less than a month into the school year. Bernardi said the district has one snow day built into April 10, a vacation/ snow make-up day. Otherwise, the plan was to make up potential snow days in June. The last day of classes is set for June1, but graduation is slated for June 8. If school is canceled because of snow, the district would hold classes on the five weekdays from June 4 through 8. As of Wednesday afternoon, the state had not made any decision on how many, if any, days would be waived from the 180-day mandate for area districts. “We just have to wait and hope,” Bernardi said.

U.S. has vowed to veto effort opposed by Israel

Palestinians to press statehood By TAREK EL-TABLAWY and STEVEN R. HURST Associated Press

It’s the end of the world for R.E.M.

Rock band R.E.M. with singer Michael Stipe, left, and guitarist Peter Buck, right, seen performing in Germany in 2008, on Wednesday announced it has ‘decided to call it a day as a band.’ The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group, which also includes bassist Mike Mills, came out of the indie-rock scene in the Athens, Ga., region. It’s credited for helping launch college radio. Later, the band became chart-topping rockers, selling millions of albums with hits like “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine),” “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts.”

UNITED NATIONS — A top Palestinian official said Wednesday that President Mahmoud Abbas had no plans to agree to a delayed vote on his bid for membership in the United Nations, rejecting mounting pressure from the United States and France. The Palestinians plan to submit their letter of application on Friday when Abbas is to speak to the U.N. General Assembly, but he faced a withering lack of support as the world body opened its annual meeting. President Barack Obama said there could be no “shortcuts” in the quest for Middle East peace, a

message that was echoed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. “We will not allow any political maneuvering on this issue,” Asaid Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to Abbas and former chief of negotiations. Erekat said Abbas had made that plain in discussions with all parties involved over the last three days of meetings in the lead-up to the annual UN global gathering of presidents, heads of state and ruling royalty. Sarkozy proposed a oneyear timetable Wednesday for Israel and the Palestinians to reach a peace accord, part of a concerted push with the United States to steer the Palestinians away from an applica-

tion for U.N. membership. Sarkozy spoke shortly after Obama warned against action on the Palestinian bid before there was a peace agreement. He said negotiations, not U.N. declarations, were essential to a lasting peace. While Obama stopped short of calling directly for the Palestinians to drop their bid for full membership — an effort the U.S. has vowed to veto in the Security Council — Sarkozy sounded a more compromising tone. “Let us cease our endless debates on the parameters and let us begin negotiations AP PHOTO and adopt a precise and ambitious timetable,” Sarkozy told President Barack Obama addresses the 66th session of the the leaders and officials gath- U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday. Obama said there could be no ‘shortcuts’ in the quest for Middle East peace. ered at the U.N.

‘FRAUDULENT POURING’ CLAIMED AT OKTOBERFEST

RENO, NEV.

Experts: Pilot likely out

he veteran aviator whose plane slammed into a crowd of Nevada T air race spectators at 400 mph had no

chance to save his ill-fated flight after likely losing consciousness from acceleration more abrupt and extreme than even what most fighter pilots endure, flying experts said. Jimmy Leeward’s aircraft shot skyward like a rocket Friday before plunging into spectators at what appeared to be full throttle. Federal investigators continue to look for a cause of the crash at the National Championship Air Races that killed 11 people, including Leeward, and injured dozens. “He’s not there. He’s unconscious,” said Ernie Christensen, a retired rear admiral and former Vietnam fighter pilot who commanded the Navy’s Top Gun fighter school for a time in the 1980s. LONDON

Libya air mission extended

Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization authorized a 90-day extension of the alliance’s aerial mission over Libya on Wednesday, raising the prospect that U.S. and allied troops could be involved in the North African nation until Christmas. But NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stressed the alliance could call home its forces “at any time” if international authorities and the new Libyan government determine that NATO’s help is no longer necessary. NATO took over enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libya in March, with an initial deadline for the mission at the end of June. A three-month extension was set to expire next week.

Islam site opens to public

The developer of an Islamic cultural center near ground zero says the “biggest mistake” on the project was not involving the families of 9/11 victims from the start. “We made incredible mistakes,” Sharif El-Gamal said. The Park51 Islamic community center — at 51 Park Place, two blocks from the World Trade Center site — opened to the public Wednesday night with a photo exhibit of New York children representing 160 ethnicities. The project has drawn criticism from opponents who say they don’t want a Muslim prayer space near the site of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. LOS ANGELES

Study: More dialysis needed

A major study challenges the way diabetics and others with failing kidneys have been treated for half a century, finding that three-times-a-week dialysis to cleanse the blood of toxins may not be enough. Deaths, heart attacks and hospitalizations were much higher on the day after the two-day interval between treatments each week than at other times, the study found. The president of the National Kidney Foundation said she was “very troubled” by the results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. “We could be doing a better job for our dialysis patients” and that might mean doing it more often, said Dr. Lynda Szczech, a Duke University kidney specialist who had no role in the study.

Delaware dredging to continue

Pedestrians make their way through strong winds and rains from Typhoon Roke in Tokyo on Wednesday.

TOKYO — A powerful typhoon slammed into Japan on Wednesday, halting trains and leaving 13 people dead or missing in south-central regions before grazing a crippled nuclear plant and heaping rain on the tsunami-ravaged northeast. Officials at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, where engineers are still struggling with small radiation leaks due to tsunami damage, expressed

relief that Typhoon Roke’s driving winds and rain caused no immediate problems there other than a broken security camera. “The worst seems to be over,” said Takeo Iwamoto, spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., after the storm passed just west of the plant on its way north. But the typhoon brought new misery to the northeastern region already slammed by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, dumping up to 17 inches of rain in some areas. Authorities warned of a high risk of mudslides in that region.

PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Tom Corbett released $15 million Wednesday to continue the controversial Delaware River dredging project, which he contends will create jobs and economic development but opponents say will damage the environment. The funds will allow the Army Corps of Engineers to begin deepening a second segment of the river next month from 40 feet to 45 feet, according to Philadel- Some enviphia port offi- ronmental cials. The extra depth will en- groups, along sure the city can with the compete global- states of New ly by accommo- Jersey and dating bigger, more modern Delaware, ships, they said. have opposed Some envi- the dredging. ronmental groups, along with the states of New Jersey and Delaware, have opposed the dredging, arguing that it could stir up toxic sediment, endanger drinking water supplies and hurt fisheries. But a federal judge in Delaware ruled last year that the project could go forward, and the digging began in March 2010. When it’s finished, the fiveyear project will have cost about $305 million and deepened a 103mile stretch of the river. The federal government is supposed to fund 65 percent of costs; so far, Pennsylvania has spent $45 million.

American hikers freed from Iran prison begin their trek home By SAEED AL-NAHDY and BRIAN MURPHY Associated Press

MUSCAT, Oman — After more than two years in Iranian custody, two Americans convicted as spies took their first steps toward home Wednesday as they bounded down the steps of a private jet and into the arms of family for a joyful reunion in the Gulf State of Oman. The families called this “the best day of our lives” and President Barack Obama said their release was “wonderful news.” In Washington, the release capped complicated diplomatic maneuvers over a week of confusing signals by Iran’s leadership on the fate of Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer. Finally, a $1million

bail-for-freedom deal was struck and the two were free. Although the fate of the two gripped America, it was on the periphery of the larger showdowns between Washington and Tehran that include Iran’s nuclear program and its ambitions to widen military and political influence in the Middle East and beyond. But — for a moment at the United Nations at least — U.S. officials may be adding words of thanks in addition to their calls for alarm over Iran. For Tehran, it was a chance to court some goodwill after sending a message of defiance with hard-line justice in the July 2009 arrests of the Americans along the Iran-Iraq border.

U.S. hikers Shane Bauer, left, and Josh Fattal attend their trial in February in Iran. The lawyer for two Americans jailed as spies says a $1 million bail-forfreedom deal was approved by the courts, clearing the way for the release of the men after more than two years in custody.

Coal St. Park contract on agenda WILKES-BARRE – City Council will vote tonight to approve a contract with Panzitta Enterprises to complete work on Phase II of the nearly $15 million Coal Street Park renovation project. Council was to vote on the matter on Sept. 8, but the meeting was canceled due to the recent flooding. In a press conference on the project on Sept. 6, Mayor Tom Leighton said the work to be done includes upgrading the softball fields, redoing the rear park-

ing and resurfacing of the multipurpose field to accommodate football, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse. Panzitta was the low bidder for the remaining work at $238,872. New lighting and electrical infrastructure will be installed as well as new fencing and netting encircling the field. The playing surface will be resurfaced and leveled out. Phase I of the project is nearly complete and included new basketball courts, a new playground, pavilion and a splash pad. Both phases of the project total nearly

$1 million in recreational improvements and were funded by a federal appropriation. Council will also vote today on a change-order for the splash pad, which was scheduled to open in the summer but was delayed and the original sub-contractor replaced. The change order is for $6,500 and was needed to pay for additional drawing,

said Marie McCormick, city administrator. Also, council will vote to approve, on first reading, the 2012 Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program budget at nearly $2.2 million. McCormick said the city received about $2 million in 2011 and could face losing as much as $157,000 heading into 2012 due to federal cuts. The CDBG money that comes to the city is used to pave streets, get rid of blight and for other public services.

metropolitan areas in the state experiencing unacceptably high smog levels on 35 days. It found two Pennsylvania cities ranked in the top 20 large metropolitan areas in terms of smog; Philadelphia at fifth with 29 “smog days” Pittsburgh at 19th with 13 smog days. Five other medium-sized metropolitan areas also ranked in the top 30 in smog days, but this area was not among them. With three smog days in 2010, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/ Hazleton ranked in 104th place, about halfway down the list of metropolitan areas the survey examined. The survey also found the region has already had three “smog days” this year. “Actually, the environment in Scranton isn’t as bad as many cities in Pennsylvania,” PennEnvironment spokeswoman Meredith Meisenheimer said Wednesday. “But we need to make sure that every day is a safe day to breathe.” Meisenheimer said smog can exacerbate respiratory problems in children and adults, and contribute to adverse health in at-risk populations. Therefore her group believes pollution levels should never exceed government health standards. Also, her group is pressing for the EPA to strengthen clean air protections in the federal Clean Air Act, which would cut smog emissions by 25 percent. Earlier in September, President Barack Obama rejected new standards proposed by the EPA that would have reduced emissions of smog-causing chemicals, explaining it could burden industry under trying economic conditions. According to the PennEnvironment study, smog levels exceeded the upgraded standards on five additional days in 2010. Meisenheimer said air quality in Pennsylvania has improved gradually over the years, but the impact of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale could worsen air quality in the state. “Gas and oil drilling across the country and our state also contribute to smog formation,” Meisenheimer said. “We know that oil and gas drilling causes air pollution, so the last thing we want to do is roll back air pollution standards and let it get worse.” “We are now in the early stages of the Marcellus Shale era,” state Rep. Ken Smith, DDunmore, said Wednesday, “and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but we have these companies here extracting our resources, and we in return must make sure we have the proper oversight to make sure they do not compromise our environment.”

ings along Sedlar Lane at a meeting Tuesday. Resident Chuck Borland wanted to know whether the state Department of Environmental Protection was watching the work being completed by Williams Field Services LLC. Resident Kim Jacobs asked what permits Williams has received to do work and what the company is allowed to do in the township. The company is clearing right-of-ways for its 33½-mile pipeline project, five miles of which will be located in the township. The pipeline will end at a site 1,800 feet away from the Dallas School District campus and will be accessed through an entrance off Lower Demunds Road. Solicitor Thomas Brennan

said Williams is performing work the company is entitled to do, as an agreement between the township and Williams was approved by the board in August. That agreement contained stipulations Williams must follow for its pipeline project. The company also received land development approval from the township’s planning commission, which requires Williams to show proof of all federal, state and local permits for the construction. Supervisor Frank Wagner said he saw state DEP trucks driving through the area, but he wasn’t sure if they were assigned to the Williams work.

The board announced there will be a public hearing on Oct. 13 and a special meeting on Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building to discuss a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance related to natural gas activities. In other news, Brennan announced Pear Tree Lane, which connects the Dallas School District campus with New Goss Manor, will be closed starting on Sept. 26. Township officials met with district administrators to observe the traffic pattern of the four-way intersection near Pear Tree Lane and deemed the area to be dangerous to motorists.

Wyoming Area officials stand behind school’s safety

Pittston Area moves to replace IU representative

By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER -- Students and staff in the Montgomery Avenue Elementary School are safe and all appropriate precautions are being taken. That was the message from school officials to concerned parents at Tuesday’s meeting of the Wyoming Area School Board. About a dozen parents raised questions about the safety of the school, which took on a few inches of water in the lower level after storm drains backed up into the building during the flooding earlier this month. The water destroyed the maple gym floor and the carpeting in lower-level classrooms. The carpeting was removed

Board makes Anthony Guariglia its new rep for Intermediate Unit. By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

YATESVILLE – An old controversy was the topic once again Tuesday night at a Pittston Area School District combined work session/ board meeting. After board member Robert Linskey announced he had resigned his position as the board’s representative to the Luzerne County Tax Committee because of his time commitment as the board’s Intermediate Unit representative, board member Martin Quinn moved to replace Linskey as the IU representative. Solicitor Joseph SaGuariglia porito said it was still his resigned as position that representaan appointtive to the ment as IU Wilkes-Barre representative is for a Area Career of and Technical term three years, Center. and that anyone appointed and then replaced as the appointed representative could challenge the decision to name a new representative. After Saporito’s explanation, the board voted 5-4 to replace Linskey with board member Anthony Guariglia. The yes votes were cast by Guariglia, Bruce Knick, Dr. Ross Latona, Martin Quinn and Mark Singer. Opposed were Richard Gorzkowski, Linskey, Marilyn Starna and Terrance Best. Immediately after the vote, Guariglia resigned as the board’s representative to the Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center. He was then replaced by Knick with an 8-1 vote by the board with Linskey opposed. In other business, the board heard a presentation by Environmental Control Systems to act as the district’s environmental consultant and engineer. Action on the proposed contract was tabled subject to board review. Also, the AMVETS made a presentation to student Joseph Walsh for placing first in the state in a citizen competition and to Catherine Dietrick as Educator of the Year for the same project. The board’s next meeting is Oct. 18.

but the work on the gym floor is awaiting completion of a bid process, school officials said. In the meantime, the lower level is quarantined from the rest of the school with a negative air system similar to the one used in active hospitals during mold and asbestos abatement, according to experts from Quad 3 and occupational environmental and safety consultants from J. Miller and Sons Inc. Tempers flared and questioning grew heated at times as parents demanded to know how often the school is tested for mold and bacteria, whether it is safe for students to use a music room that is in an area between the flooded lower level and the first floor, and whether air vented

from the negative air system could cause concerns for children on the playground. Superintendent Ray Bernardi and Facilities Director Dave Amico as well as representatives from Quad 3 and J. Miller repeatedly assured parents that all appropriate steps are being taken to ensure the safety of students and staff. In response to the continued questioning, board members suggested that air quality and mold testing be done on a weekly basis. “It costs $600 or $700 a test, but I’m not concerned about the money, I’m concerned about the safety of the students,” said board member Frank Casarella. Amico said he would also take the additional precaution of clos-

ing the music room until air quality and mold testing is done. The air vented from the negative air system was intentionally directed away from the playground, he said, and posed no risk. Bernardi repeatedly said the school is safe and every possible precaution is being taken to en-

sure student and staff safety. While it is early in the process, Bernardi estimated it could cost up to $300,000 to repair damage to Montgomery Avenue. He said he has submitted an estimate to Emergency Management and expects to receive government disaster relief to mitigate the costs.

Stone testifies in own defense in woman’s slaying By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Since about 2006, John Stone and Catherine Tabit dated off and on. Their relationship began with a conversation at a local McDonald’s restaurant about fishing and shooting BB guns, Stone testified Wednesday at his trial. The relationship ended with Tabit’s death in October 2010, allegedly at the hands of Stone using a 13-inch hatchet. Stone testiStone fied in his own defense after prosecutors completed calling witnesses in their case. Stone’s attorneys, Erik Dingle and Joseph Albert, will continue calling witnesses this morning. Stone said he and Tabit, 37, were living together until August 2010, when she left him. He said it was because he would not continue to buy her things. Stone tried to rekindle the relationship, he said, but those attempts were unsuccessful, until Oct. 22, when Tabit agreed to spend the weekend with Stone. Stone, 59, said he and Tabit got pizza in Wilkes-Barre and went shopping, and she stayed the night. Stone brought Tabit, 37, to her Kingston home the next day and returned to pick her up later that night. On their way back to Stone’s North Canal Street home in Shickshinny, Tabit made a phone call to purchase crack cocaine, Stone testified. They each smoked some cocaine, Stone said, and he went to watch the movie “The Rock” while Tabit played cards on the computer. A conversation began, Stone said, with Tabit asking to borrow $2,000. “I was shocked. She never asked for that much before,” Stone said, adding that Tabit

wanted to use the money for tattoos and marijuana. Stone said he ignored Tabit’s request, and Tabit went to make dinner – shrimp and beans. Stone said he told Tabit to “ask one of her other boyfriends” for the money, and Tabit answered with a slap to Stone’s face.

“She said, ‘You wanna fight me?’ ” Stone said. “I remember (her) standing there … and then she was down.” The details of what occurred after Tabit slapped him, Stone said, are vague and he didn’t remember exactly what happened, only that he must have hit Tabit.

“Tell me the next thing you remember,” Albert asked Stone. “Getting cold from the water,” Stone replied, stating he intended to commit suicide by jumping into the Susquehanna River but then changed his mind. Stone said he vaguely remembers going to a neighbor’s house

and speaking to a 911 operator, and that the next thing he recalls is being at the state police barracks in Shickshinny. “I remember bits and pieces,” he said. Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino said what he didn’t understand is that Stone could re-

member what movie he was watching, what was made for dinner and how many puffs of cocaine he took, but that he couldn’t remember the grisly details to Tabit’s death. “You expect us to believe (all of that) … but nothing after you got slapped?” Ferentino said.

OTHER OPINION: DEBT REDUCTION

Obama’s plan: Share the pain

RESIDENT BARACK Obama’s plan to use $1.5 trillion in new taxes to help eliminate $3.2 trillion in debt over the next decade makes a lot of sense. The Republican response – largely a pledge to block it in Congress – could make the proposal dead on arrival. This latest example of party-based gridlock also increases the heat on the congressional super-committee on debt to produce something useful. The Republican idea that balancing the budget and reducing the debt must come entirely from cuts – and not also from increasing revenue, closing tax loopholes and raising taxes on the rich – is irresponsible. It can be based only on the fact that the Republicans’ campaign contributors are the rich, whom they have pledged to protect from taxes. This approach places the debt-cutting burden squarely on the middle class and the poor.

The trend since President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the rich and two unfunded wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has been for more of America’s wealth to be concentrated near the top 1 percent of the population while more Americans are forced to live below the poverty line. It is inconsistent with American ideals of fairness and justice that a Wall Street hedgefund manager pay 15 percent tax on what he extracts from the system because his income is capital gains, while other working Americans are taxed a much higher percentage of their wages and salaries. The bipartisan committee on reducing the debt should ignore the partisan rhetoric and be open to Obama’s proposals. If Republicans on or off the supercommittee are not willing to be evenhanded in attacking the nation’s red ink, voters will strike back hard at the polls next year – as they should.

Memories remain, but security was washed away LIVING THROUGH the Agnes Flood of 1972 was and still is, in a word, humbling. Just 21 years old and with a bright future ahead, I was living with my dad in an apartment on West Main Street, Plymouth, when the Susquehanna River entered our home, as it did for an estimated 25,000 others. Still reeling from the death of my mother, Elizabeth Kraszewski O’Boyle, in May 1968, my dad and I decided a couple of years later to leave our home and all of its memories on Reynolds Street – high on a hill the river would never reach – and move into an apartment. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Life was good for a while. And then we heard the sirens. Men on bullhorns were imploring everyone to get to high ground. The river was rising. The levees were breaking. Our lives were changing – forever. We went to my Aunt Betty’s house on East Shawnee Avenue. We often visited there, but now it was home. The river eventually receded, leaving behind mud, stink and devastation. Everything we had was lost – including many sentimental, invaluable items such as photographs, diplomas, recipes, letters, my 1960s record albums and baseball cards from the 1950s and ’60s. It was fun at Aunt Betty’s house, but it wasn’t really home. Home was gone. My dad

COMMENTARY spent much of his time with his companion, whose name ironically was Agnes, a lovely woman who cared for my dad for many years. We were given use of a mobile home and parked it behind Aunt Betty’s house. I still remember them hauling it up Henderson Street and resting it on cinder blocks. It was quite the pad: a couple of bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was the scene of several parties that we still talk about today. Here we were, my daddy and me, living in a trailer and faced with the task of putting our already broken lives back together. Never did we miss 210 Reynolds St. as much as we did in the aftermath of Hurricane Agnes. If we had not moved off the hill, I’d still have all those pictures of my mom and our family and all of those other things that were washed downstream when the river raged through Wyoming Valley. Since then, family members have given me some pictures that I treasure. And as for the other stuff, well, my letterman’s jacket from 1966 sure wouldn’t fit me today, anyway. But what I will never get back is that feeling of security, the feeling of safety found in a mother’s arms. The feeling that no matter

what, everything will be okay. That’s what I lost in June 1972. That’s what many victims of Agnes lost. That’s what the flooded-out people of 2011 have lost, too. No matter how high they build the levees, there can be no assurance that it won’t happen again. We are forever at risk of losing our homes, our belongings, our keepsakes. We can cope with most of those losses. We can replace some things. We can remember. But we, at least I, can’t feel like I did before Agnes. The experience of being a flood victim encompasses much more than the loss of material and sentimental items. More than the tireless effort to clean up, rebuild and remain to wait for the next river watch. It’s the loss of that feeling – of being able to go to bed without the worry of hearing those sirens and those men on bullhorns. The flood of 1972 humbled me, humbled us all. It stripped away the carefree attitude. I’m older now. There are many more worries in my life and the lives of all flood victims. But the summer of 1972 took away all of my naïveté. The brown, muddy, smelly river water clearly showed me the reality of loss. And it left an ever-present dread every time that damn river rises.

udgeting for education is a recurring nightmare in which school officials guess at dollar figures in advance of real data while also battling homeowners who envision gross increases in property taxation that most consider unfair and unconstitutional. The resulting tug-of-war wastes resources. But there is a solution; get rid of the school property tax! The Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations (with 64 member groups statewide) has been working for eight years, supporting a plan to fully replace the school property tax funding of education with an equitable tax – the current 6 percent sales tax imposed on an expanded list of goods and services, but not including life necessities. The PCTA’s plan calls for fully funding the schools and controlling costs. The replacement tax would be phased in over a two-year period to quickly lessen the burden on homeowners and give school directors a clear and definitive picture of their expected revenues. With a formidable coalition supporting the PCTA plan in the House, this year we

evident during the two recent storms. In the Back Mountain alone, countless homes were saved because of the many volunteers who worked around the clock to pump water from basements. Many of these same volunteers assisted in setting up the evacuation centers for our neighbors from the Wyoming Valley and then assisted in cleanup operations. These men and women volunteer their time, and they do it with little recognition, no pay and even without reimbursement for their gas and other expenses. They certainly deserve our appreciation. And to all of the volunteers from the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the area churches, to those people cooking meals for the flood victims, lending a hand to their neighbors in cleanup and debris removal efforts, and simply pitching in and going about it because it is the right thing to do, thank you for restoring our faith in human nature! As we read about heroism and offer thanks to some people who were more highly visible during the two recent natural disasters, let us not forget the real unsung, unrecognized and unpaid heroes who always are there to help – and for all of the right reasons.

spending bills. Many Democrats were upset because the legislation offsets some of the additional emergency funding for communities in Northeast Pennsylvania and elsewhere struck by recent storms and flooding with spending cuts of $1.5 billion to a federal loan program that aids car companies making fuel-efficient vehicles. A number of conservative Republicans thought the legislation still was overly

$134.5 million in spending requests for 2012 but only $110.9 million in expected revenue. An updated dollar estimate on the budget gap will be available next week after managers enter their revised budget requests in the county’s computerized financial program, said county Budget/Finance Chief Joan Pusateri. County Assessment Director To-

ny Alu warned commissioners Wednesday that he will need more certified evaluators to stay on top of new construction and property additions, particularly if the real estate market picks up. Assessment standards recommend one certified evaluator for every 10,000 properties. Alu said he should have about 16 evaluators to monitor the county’s 168,000 properties, but he has eight. Commissioners said they can’t provide any additional staff and lowered his spending requests in several areas.

ment on Wednesday. But at least two Luzerne County officials don’t believe federal funds should be used for the demolition. “Because the building was reported as being in danger of collapse before the flood, it was a pre-existing condition,” said Commissioner Steve Urban. Urban said the commissioners would be willing to contribute to the cost of the demolition but would not foot the entire bill because the county is cash-strapped

meanwhile, there’s something called a “ticker,” a live feed of all the ongoing activity that also appears in users’ news feeds. It’s a kind of Facebook inside Facebook, if you will. By mid-morning, the words “new Facebook” quickly became one of the most discussed topics on Twitter. Many comments were

costly. Barletta said in a statement Wednesday after the vote that he had joined 76 Democrats who sent a letter to House leadership “saying that we support the Senate version of the bill because it includes more funding for disaster relief.” Barletta noted Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton and GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville support the Senate version, which garnered enough support from Republican senators to pass a 60vote procedural hurdle. The House bill, “does not do enough to rebuild the lives of people who lost everything they own,” Barletta said. “It doesn’t

negative, though some pointed out that Facebook makes many changes to its site and people eventually get used to it. Then there were the jokes. John Kovalic from Madison, Wis., poked fun at Netflix’s recent public relations fiasco, tweeting: “On the plus side, at least the new Facebook isn’t calling itself ‘Qwikface.’ ” (Netflix, for those who missed it, is facing a big backlash from its subscribers because it raised prices and renamed its popular DVD-by-mail service

“Qwikster.”) Another online critic likened Facebook to a pop star who’s addicted to cosmetic surgery. For its part, Facebook has long asserted that it makes changes to keep users engaged, and that those alterations are often based on user requests. Other tweaks derive from the company’s study of activity on Facebook and what it thinks people will enjoy using. Privacy advocates, meanwhile, have contended that Facebook changes its site in order to get peo-

Commissioners may also meet again with departments that still require significant budget revisions. The proposed budget will be adopted in November and finalized in December. The new county council members will have the option to amend the budget after they take office in January.

“We’re not going to raise taxes, so government’s going to have to be smaller. That’s the bottom line,” Petrilla said, noting she won’t leave the new home rule government with a budget that contains padding.

He said the House bill provided $774 million by Sept. 30 to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and $226 million to the Army Corps of Engineers. “This measure would have provided timely help, and that is what is important to me, getting resources to affected families, businesses and local governments immediately,” Marino said. “This was a good start.” The Senate disaster relief bill is $6.9 billion, including $804 million that would go out before the end of the month.

county money should be used to demolish a building that should have been razed months ago. And he wrote to federal officials to drive home his concerns. Griffith wrote that many people are concerned that the reason for “the declaration of danger of the Hotel Sterling” is that the building is in a disaster area and that funding would be made available to CityVest to allow for the demolition “at taxpayers’ expense.” “The CityVest report that was recently completed and funded by the taxpayers clearly stated the building was unsafe and in need of demolition (and a) determination by the insurance underwriters just as recent as a month ago has stated

Underdog Ogilvy still in contention By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ATLANTA — Just being among the 30 players at the Tour Championship should be enough for Geoff Ogilvy. Only 16 days ago, Ogilvy was on the verge of being eliminated from the FedEx Cup playoffs. Needing a par-birdie finish at the TPC Boston, his tee shot on the17th hole finished in a crevice behind a rock and he had

to take a penalty drop. What followed is still hard to fathom. Ogilvy rolled in a 20-footer for par, then holed a 6-foot birdie putt to narrowly advance to the next playoff event outside Chicago. Then, he finished alone in third at Cog Hill — a two-way tie for third would not have been enough — to book a trip to East Lake. “I definitely wasn’t thinking of be-

ing here when I was in that hole,” Ogilvy said Wednesday. “So the fact that I am is pretty nice.” He is No. 24 among the 30 players who reached the Tour Championship,andwhilemathematicallythey all have a shot at the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup, the higher seeds have the greater odds. Webb Simpson is the top seed, followed by Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Matt Ku-

char. If any of them win, they are assured golf’s richest prize. Ogilvy’s hopes require a little more math. It starts with him winning, and the odds got even longer the more he studied the other scenarios that must unfold. “Webb Simpson must finish 17th or worse, which is probably not going to happen, you wouldn’t think,” See OGILVY, Page 3B

Dawgs dealing with a tough road to recovery There have been worse days in Berwick football history. Not many, but there have been times worse than Saturday’s 53-30 loss at Dallas. Heck, there’s a possibility one can come this Friday night as Wyoming Valley West pays a visit to Crispin Field. The Spartans are rolling and the Dawgs have been reeling. “The next two weeks are huge,” Berwick coach Gary Campbell said. “We have Valley West, our rival, coming into town and they’re riding high, 3-0. They have arguably one of the

JOHN ERZAR H.S. FOOTBALL NOTES best players in eastern Pennsylvania (Eugene Lewis). “We’ll regroup. I’m positive with that. That’s something we’ve always done.” The recovery needs to be hastened. Valley West brings just as many weapons, just as strong of a line and even more overall speed than Dallas. “Number one, you have to identify the problem … whether it’s personnel, whether it’s schematic,” said Campbell, whose team is 1-2. “Whether it’s

any of those things. From there, we have to get back to what we do positive.” Berwick has been fairly successful running the ball except for the Dallas game. But in the two games I’ve seen – against Crestwood and Dallas – there were two glaring weaknesses. First, the passing game is out of sync, as the quarterback and receivers don’t seem to be on the same page all the time. Plus, there are too many dropped passes to make it successful on a consistent basis. Then there is Berwick’s overall See ERZAR, Page 3B

e could feel his self-certainty buckle while his knees began to quiver, as if someone took that baseball bat he was holding and used it to belt him in back of the legs. He wondered why this strange feeling of anxiety started to overtake him like a tidal wave, just as Russ Canzler was about to step into a big-league batters box for the first time. Wasn’t this the moment he’d been fantasizing about since he was a boy? The completion of the quest he began as a baseball star for Hazleton Area High School? The destination Canzler always believed he would reach, even when his old organization kept telling him he was only halfway there? Yet, when he entered a game for the Tampa Bay Rays as a pinch hitter in Boston last week, Canzler couldn’t help feeling frantic. “My heart was racing,” Canzler said. He knew he had nothing to fear. The Tampa Bay organization gave him the chance the Chicago Cubs wouldn’t, promoting Canzler to the Triple-A level, and he ran with it. “My first year in Triple-A,” Canzler said, “I kind of set my sights on proving I was worthy of all the at-bats they were giving me.” He has nothing more to prove. Not after hitting .314, hammering 18 homers, leading the International League with 40 doubles and driving in 83 runs during his debut Triple-A season. Not after a year that’s already exceeded his wildest expectations, where Canzler left behind his Double-A days with the Cubs and was selected most valuable player of both the Triple-A All-Star Game and the whole International League while leading the Durham Bulls to the IL playoffs. Now he has joined a Rays team fighting to make the American League playoffs. “I would be lying to you to say I was expecting that,” Canzler, 25, said. Tampa Bay isn’t expecting much from him right now. His all-star game home run? That grand slam he hit down in Lehigh Valley with his first swing upon returning to Pennsylvania as a professional player? They don’t mean much to a team depending on veterans to reach the major league postseason. Canzler was a September call-up to a red-hot Rays team ready to make a playoff push, after whittling a 10-game deficit to just two in the wildcard standings during the past three weeks. So Canzler didn’t get on the field for Tuesday’s loss at Yankee Stadium, and spends most of his time talking to Rays veteran outfielder Johnny Damon and watching from the bench as Tampa Bay stars Evan Longoria and B.J. Upton try carry the team’s postseason hopes. “It’s definitely tough,” Canzler said. “There’s that competitor within you that wants to be out on the field. At the same time, I understand what my role is here. I’m extremely fortunate and blessed to be in this position right now. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity.” His chance to bat came in Fenway Park, where Canzler overcame his sudden case of the jitters when he came back from a two-strike count to work a walk. “It was awesome,” Canzler said. “To do it in a historic ballpark like Fenway, that was something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” He’ll remember how the magic of the moment made his faith start to shake. And Russ Canzler will know how much getting through it made him feel like he belongs.

team speed, which is the worst I’ve seen in a long time. There’s not one player who can match up with any of Valley West’s starting skill players. There doesn’t appear to be enough time to fix the problems by the time the Spartans arrive. But the schedule is a bit easier after Friday, so the opportunity is there to make repairs and save the season. Two-point confusion Dallas’ final points against Berwick came on a two-point conversion with 38 seconds remaining that wasn’t supposed to be attempted. Dallas coach Ted Jackson instructed his backup quarterback to take the snap and kneel down. When the quarterback told the referee of his intentions, somehow everything got jumbled up and he believed Dallas had to run a play. So the backup called a running play that resulted in the two points. “I apologize to the end of the world,” Jackson said. “I would never do anything like that because I’ve been on the other side of the fence. … Coach Campbell is a great guy. I would never do that.” Why no touchdown Crestwood running back Roger Legg had a nice 9-yard run for a touchdown in the third quarter Friday against Pittston Area. But instead of getting six points, the ball was put back at the 9-yard line and the score was disallowed despite no penalty. What happen was a Pittston Area player, apparently shaken up on the previous play, went down on the field on the sideline farthest from the home bleachers. An official blew the play dead a split-second before the snap.

right. True freshman Sam Ficken tried a 49-yarder at the end of the first half, only to have his low, line-drive attempt swatted down at the line. Penn State’s only made field goal of the season came from 43 yards out against Alabama by Lewis. “I’m very concerned about the kicking game, obviously,” Paterno said. “And we are trying to get better at it. A couple of those kids do verywellinpractice,andtheygetin theballgameandgetalittleuptight or I don’t know what. Sometimes you gotta expect some of that.” But it got worse on Saturday, as theOwlsevenmanagedtoblockan Anthony Fera punt. “That was just absolute carelessness on the part of one person who justhadnothadanyproblemsprior to that. “Ithinkwejustgotalittlebitnonchalant about it and that kid came up and blocked it. I thought on the blocked field goal we might have been just a little bit slow.” One thing that didn’t help the Lions in this first month was the delayed introduction of Fera to the field. A full-time punter and kickoff man last season, Fera was also a candidate to take over on field goals this season with the departure of Collin Wagner. Fera was originally recruited as a placekicker out of high school in Houston, Texas. But after redshirtingin2009,hecouldn’tbeatoutthe incumbent Wagner in 2010. Paterno banned Fera from preseason camp after the kicker picked up the second alcohol-related charge of his Penn State career.

he said, reading from a chart. “Dustin Johnson has to finish sixth or worse. Justin and Luke have to finish fourth or worse, which isn’t going to happen because Luke doesn’t finish out of thetopthreeanymore,doeshe?” That’s when he shifted to a prize that might be just as meaningful. “I’d love to win this golf tournament,” Ogilvy said. “That would be nice because people are forgetting this one of the tour’s special golf tournaments — The Players Championship, the Tour Championship, the Tournament of Champions. It’s still the Tour Championship, and it would be pretty special to have a Tour Championship on your mantle. “I guess I’ll view it like that and try to win,” he said. “And if the right things happen, that would be great.” The FedEx Cup is finishing up its fifth year, and while some promotional bluster created more skeptics than supporters in the early going, it is hard to find fault with what the playoffs have produced — four straight tournaments with the strongest fields, with only the best walking away with the $10 million prize. Tiger Woods has won twice, with Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk the other cup champions. “I think the system has been validated because it’s had the biggest names in golf as its champions,” Kuchar said. The leading five candidates this year all are among the top 20 in the world, including topranked Donald. There is reason for others to hope, however, and all that requires is a chat with Nick Watney. A year ago, Watney narrowly got into the Tour Championship at No. 28 and was 12 shots behind going into the weekend. In the final hour, he was one shot off the lead and had a legitimate chance to win the FedEx Cup until a bogey on the 16th hole. “I was thinking I had no chance,” Watney said. “Kuchar was leading the FedEx Cup, and he was playing so consistently. They said I had to win and he had to finish worse than 25th or something. There were so many mathematical scenarios. It was like the BCS.” His message for the guys ranked toward the bottom of the FedEx Cup list was to think about winning — not the FedEx Cup, but a season-ending tournament that still packs some prestige. Fera was then held out of the opening game and didn’t reclaim his spot at punter until the second half against Alabama. Fera has averaged 44.6 yards on eight punts, a sizable bump from backup Alex Butterworth’s 38.7yard average. With Fera back in full capacity andtheLionsdesperatetoimprove on field goals, it’s not out of the question the sophomore could get a shot there as well. “Fera has got a chance to come back now and hopefully he’ll get in thegroove,”Paternosaid.“Feradid not practice with us in preseason in some places because of some offthe-field antics. So he’s now getting back in the groove. “Hopefullyhe’llstarttoputsome of that stuff behind him and he’ll be maybe more productive than he’s been. And maybe he can beat out the kid that’s ahead of him right now (Lewis). I don’t know.” The situation isn’t as dire in the return game, though coaches and players both acknowledge there is room for improvement. The Lions rank 53rd in the country in kick returns (22.55 ypr) thanks in large part to Chaz Powell’s 95-yard score to open the Indiana State game. In punt returns, Penn State ranks 59th (7.69 ypr) which is actually a bit improved from recent years. Powell and Devon Smith are the topoptionsonkickoffswhileJustin Brown and Smith often both line up for punt returns. Senior Derek Moye has also appeared there this season. For now, however, the focus remains on field goals and punts. “Our kicking game needs to get better,” Paterno repeated. “And we’re working on it and hopefully we can improve. But the proof is in the pudding.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Posada’s hit lifts Yanks to crown

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jorge Posada came off the bench and helped the Yankees to yet another first-place finish with a goahead single in the eighth inning, and New York swept the Tampa Bay Rays by identical 4-2 scores in a day-night doubleheader Wednesday to win the AL East. Accomplishing most of their regular-season goals with a week to spare, the Yankees earned their 16th playoff berth in 17 seasons by winning the day game behind Robinson Cano’s tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth. They didn’t bother celebrating after that one — Yankees blase at its best — but vowed to let loose when they ensured the division crown. They made good on that promise, donning goggles and spraying the bubbly in the clubhouse. For the Rays, it was a damaging day as they missed a chance to move up on Boston in the AL wild-card race. The Red Sox lost to Baltimore 6-4, but still extended their lead over Tampa Bay to 21⁄2 games. The Los Angeles Angels also are 21⁄2 games behind. The Yankees’ clincher fell into place after a 62-minute rain delay. A month past his 40th birthday and his role reduced, Posada pinch-hit with the bases loaded and two outs with the score 2-all. He hit a hard, two-run single to right off Brandon Gomes and pumped a fist as he ran up the first-base line. Posada’s hit propelled New York to its 12th AL East title in 16 years and came about 50 minutes after the second-place Red Sox blew a three-run lead and lost.

Orioles 6, Red Sox 4

BOSTON — The reeling Boston Red Sox blew another late lead and lost for the 14th time in 18 games, beaten when Vladimir Guerrero and the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a win . Boston began the day with a two-game edge over Tampa Bay for the AL wild-card spot. The Rays lost the opener of a day-night doubleheader to the New York Yankees 4-2. Angels 7, Blue Jays 2

TORONTO — Dan Haren’s outing ended after he was hit by a line drive on the final out of the eighth inning, Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells homered, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 on Wednesday night. White Sox 8, Indians 4

CLEVELAND — Mark Buehrle bounced back from a poor outing and pitched six effective innings, leading the Chicago White Sox past the Cleveland Indians. Mariners 5, Twins 4

MINNEAPOLIS — Ichiro Suzuki stopped Kevin Slowey’s no-hitter with a two-out infield single in the sixth inning and added an RBI double in the seventh, spurring the Seattle Mariners to a victory in Minnesota, the 11th straight defeat for the Twins. Tigers 6, Royals 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ramon Santiago drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Don Kelly added a two-run homer and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals.

Nationals hand Phils fifth straight defeat The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Danny Espinosa and Wilson Ramos each hit two-run home runs to help the Washington Nationals beat Philadelphia 7-5 on Wednesday, sending the NL East-champion Phillies to their season-worst fifth straight loss. The Phillies have been in a funk since they clinched their fifth straight division title on Saturday. They’ve lost five straight games for the first time since May 22-27, 2010. All of the losses have come at home, where the Phillies are tied for the major league lead with 52 victories. Diamondbacks 8, Pirates 5

PHOENIX — Miguel Montero had a two-run homer among his three hits and the Arizona Diamondbacks jumped on the Pittsburgh Pirates early in a win that cut their magic number for clinching the NL West to two. Cubs 7, Brewers 1

CHICAGO — Matt Garza pitched a six-hitter, Marlon Byrd hit a three-run homer and the Chicago Cubs prolonged Milwaukee’s drive to clinch the NL Central, beating the Brewers in the final game at Wrigley Field this season. Reds 2, Astros 0

CINCINNATI — Bronson

Arroyo pitched a six-hitter and the Cincinnati Reds wrapped up their home schedule with a win over the Houston Astros. Padres 4, Rockies 0

DENVER — Rookie Anthony Bass pitched five solid innings to help the San Diego Padres complete a rare threegame sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a win in the last game of the season at Coors Field. Marlins 4, Braves 0

MIAMI — Struggling to secure a postseason berth, the Atlanta Braves were thwarted by a playoff-caliber pitching performance. Javier Vazquez allowed only two hits in seven innings Wednesday against his former team, and the Florida Marlins played the spoiler’s role by beating Atlanta 4-0. Cardinals 6, Mets 5

ST. LOUIS — David Freese drove in five runs with a triple and a three-run homer, and the surging St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets. The Cardinals have won four straight and 12 of 14 to move within 11⁄2 games of Atlanta in the National League wild-card race. St. Louis, a season-high 17 over .500 (86-69), has seven games left and will go for a sweep of the Mets on Thursday.

No decision on SWB plans for 2012 The Times Leader staff

Multiple outlets are reporting that the Sept. 20 deadline set by the International League to approve the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees’ action plan for the 2012 season has passed without a decision. The team’s plan was expected to be approved at the IL Board of Directors meeting in Albuquerque. The Yankees will not play the 2012 season at PNC Field in Moosic because of renovations to the stadium. Allentown (Lehigh Valley) and Rochester, N.Y., appear to be frontrunners for hosting the Yankees. The Ottawa Citizen reported Monday that Ottawa was out apparently of the equation, and several outlets reported that the New York Mets are blocking a potential season in Staten Island, home of the Class A New York-Penn League Yankees. Last month, the Syracuse PostStandard reported that the Yankees’ home games against the Syracuse Chiefs would likely be played in Syracuse, and maybe others. “I don’t know if we’ll get four, eight, six (more). It’s hard to say how many,” Chiefs GM John Simone said to the Post-Standard. “They have to play somewhere. Unless they get another city to take the team for 72 games, they will have to split it up.” The Yankees are expected to return to Moosic in 2013.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick holds a football during practice in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Vick still might play vs. Giants

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick took a small step toward returning from a concussion. Vick took part in a morning walkthrough on Wednesday, but didn’t practice in the afternoon. There is a chance he will play against the Giants (1-1) on Sunday. “It’s hard to give you the future because you have to do things the right way and go through the process,” coach Andy Reid said. Vick was injured in Philadelphia’s 35-31 loss to the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday night, and was forced to leave the game in the second half. Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said Vick doesn’t have “a whole lot of concussion symptoms,” and would undergo further testing, including seeing an independent neurologist in the next day or two. “Just because he doesn’t have symptoms today doesn’t mean he won’t have symptoms tomorrow,” Burkholder said. “You can’t predict.” Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns for the Eagles (1-1), but couldn’t continue after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into one of his teammates, right tackle Todd Herremans. He was replaced by Mike Kafka. Vince Young, who was signed to be the backup, has missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. He’s close to returning.

QB Sanchez feeling fine for Week 3 By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Mark Sanchez was unsure what all the fuss was about. The New York Jets quarterback’s bangedup right arm feels fine, and so does his elbow. So, hearing that his name was on the team’s injury report Wednesday surprised him a bit. “They feel good,” Sanchez said of his arm and elbow. “Our training staff, they’re the best. “They got me ready to roll. I took every rep in practice, so I feel good.” Sanchez hit his arm on the helmet of Jacksonville’s Matt Roth late in New York’s 32-3 rout last Sunday. It was his last throw of the game, a pass intended to try to get Plaxico Burress a catch. “I just banged it a little bit on the helmet,” he said. “You get your throwing motion and momentum going at a helmet, and then you hit something. It makes it hurt a little more and it freaks everybody out because it’s your throwing shoulder and stuff, but honestly, it feels great.” Coach Rex Ryan acknowledged that Sanchez is “fine” and the notation on the injury report was purely a procedural thing. “All we do there is we recognize that he’s getting treatment,” Ryan said. “He gets ice and all that stuff.”

The scores were 25-23, 15-25, 25-19, 25-16 to extend the Royals’ streak to 81. “It definitely served as a wakeup call,” said Griswold, who turned in an overpowering performance with 27 kills. “We knew we had to step up in game three. “Delaware Valley is a hard-hitting team and just did a great job of hitting their spots.” The 5-foot-10 Griswold stepped up in the final two games. She hit with power and accuracy and proved to be a main factor. “Griswold was amazing,” Holy Redeemer coach Jack Kablick said. “She made a big difference. Delaware Valley played good and we didn’t have an answer for their hitters.” The Warriors (4-1) got solid performances from 6-2 senior middle hitter Carissa Dube and 511 sophomore outside hitter Taylor Braunnagle. Dube was dominant at the net, notching eight kills and six ser-

vice points. The high-jumping Braunnagle post 12 kills, including several spikes that enabled Delaware Valley to take control of game two. “Dube is an outstanding player,” Kablick said. “We knew that going in and we were prepared for her. But No. 18 (Braunnagle) took us by complete surprise. We weren’t ready for her.” Delaware Valley had a chance to win game one. The Warriors took a 19-18 lead on a Dube kill but couldn’t seal the deal. The Royals went on a 7-4 run to post the 25-23 win. The Warriors took a 14-5 lead in game two on two straight kills by Braunnagle, and stretched the lead to17-6 on a monster block by Cassidy Cohen, who wound up with eight kills, two blocks and four service points. After falling behind 7-0 in game three, the Royals took control at 18-12 on a Griswold kill en route to a 25-19 win. The Royals were never seriously threatened in game four. “I think the major difference was their service play,” said Braunnagle. “We didn’t handle their serves and they handled ours well. We could have done much better if we converted our serves.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR tweaked two rules for next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Talladega Superspeedway, apparently in an effort to limit the two-car tandem racing that has dominated at its two fastest tracks. The first change ordered Wednesday was an increase in the size of the restrictor plate that will be used in the Oct. 23 race. Larger holes in the carburetor plates should lead to an increase of horsepower that could make the cars 2 to 3 mph faster. NASCAR also ordered an adjustment on the pop-off valve in the cooling system that should lower the maximum water temperature in engines. A threat of overheating could prevent cars from staying hooked together for too long. Drivers discovered over the last year that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faster to run at Daytona and Talladega in twocar tandems. That style has replaced the popular two- and three-wide packs, and fans have been lukewarm about the tandem racing. Now, two cars hook up bumper-to-bumper, one clearly pushing the other until the potential for overheating forces them to separate and then swap. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for record lead changes and exciting finishes, but is a totally different style than the white-knuckle pack racing fans loved. Drivers, meanwhile, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to see anything when they are pushing another car and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular driver, has repeatedly railed against tandem racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of move can you make in racing like this?â&#x20AC;? he asked in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no move you can make. You just hold it on the mat and try not to wreck into each other.â&#x20AC;? NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton

made no mention of tandem racing in explaining the changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the last few superspeedway races, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard many drivers express their desire to open up the size of the restrictor plate some and we thought the time was right to do that,â&#x20AC;? Pemberton said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We

CMYK An economic reading from FedEx

$100

Today

FedEx’s fiscal first-quarter earnings report will reveal more than how it’s doing. The package delivery company is seen as a good barometer of the global economy because the number of shipments it handles rises and falls with business activity. It generally issues an economic forecast along with its results. At least two financial analysts have lowered their earnings expectations for FedEx because of the slower economy.

Nike’s take on the consumer Nike’s earnings are also an indicator – of consumer’s willingness to spend on things that aren’t necessities. The world’s largest maker of athletic shoes and clothes has had rising revenue around the world in the last year. Its fiscal first-quarter report will show whether revenue was hurt by the slowing global economy. Nike has warned that rising prices for raw materials could hurt profit margins. Analysts still expect it to report an earnings gain.

Fed’s steps to boost economy

Google books deal delayed

Lawyers for authors, publishers and Google have bought themselves more time in their New York copyright case as they try to reach a new deal that could create the world’s largest digital library. The lawyers told federal Judge Denny Chin in Manhattan on Thursday that they are still negotiating. In March, the judge rejected a $125 million deal. That agreement had drawn hundreds of objections from Google rivals, consumer watchdogs, academic experts, literary agents and even foreign governments. A lawyer for Google said the current negotiations are making substantial progress. Still, the judge agreed to a court schedule that extends through the next year, with no trial date set. Google already has scanned more than 15 million books for the project. The lawsuit was filed in 2005.

The Associated Press

Home sales signs mixed

The number of Americans who bought previously occupied homes rose in August. But sales were driven by an increase in foreclosures, a sign that home prices could fall further next year and slow a housing recovery. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that home sales rose 7.7 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.03 million homes. That’s below the 6 million that economists say is consistent with a healthy housing market. Last month’s pace was slightly ahead of the 4.91 million sold in 2010, the worst sales level in 13 years. Homes at risk of foreclosure made up 31 percent of sales. That’s up from 29 percent in July. Many are being bought by investors. WALL STREET DOW 11,124.84 —283.82

Local business people meet with international trade representatives during the Where In The World trade show at the Woodlands Inn & Resort in Plains Township on Wednesday to discuss local businesses dealing in international trade. The event was organized by NEPA and Pennsylvania Center for Trade Development.

LAINS TWP. -- The French love pizza. When you go to the grocery store in France, there is a freezer stocked with frozen pizzas, trade adviser Romain Balluais said. So why can’t one of those pizza pies be manufactured here in Northeastern Pennsylvania? That was the question Vincent Nardone and Joe Bevevino of Wilkes-Barre-based pizza maker Nardone Bros. brought to the Where in the World, Bringing the World to Northeastern Pennsylvania trade show at the Woodlands Inn on Wednesday. “We’re in 40 states here,” Bevevino said. “With the national acceptance that we’ve had with our products, because of our capability to adapt to fit certain markets, we’re looking to see if we can’t expand into Europe.” The annual show brings companies from seven counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania together with trade advisers specializing in 38 international markets. Thirty-two companies attended the show Wednesday. In the United States, Nardone Bros. sells a lot of its products to school districts, but Balluais, trade adviser for France and Spain, said French schools may not be interested. But other buyers, including universities, large corporate offices and stadiums might be, he advised the Nardone representatives. In particular, Balluais found the company’s pizza in oven-able boxes particularly intriguing. “That’s great; we don’t have that I think,” Balluais said. “That’s a great product.” The trade advisers at the show are not diplomats, but private contractors hired by the state to provide guidance and as-

sistance to companies in developing products that fit international markets and coordinating meetings with potential buyers in other countries. Cam Koons, of Deer Park Lumber in Tunkhannock, said he traveled to China after meeting with a trade adviser at last year’s show. “We went over to China and they had a taxi ready for us when we got off the airplane, because we don’t know how to do that; we don’t speak the language,” he said. “And from that trip we picked up a lot of business and a lot of new customers, and it started out at a trade show like this.” Throughout the week they are traveling to 10 different regions around the state to meet with Pennsylvania companies as part of Pennsylvania International Business Week. The free program was funded by the state Department of Community and Economic Development’s

Office of International Business Development and sponsored locally by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance. Wilfred H. Muskens, deputy secretary for international business development for DCED, said that international markets have become increasingly important for Pennsylvania companies as domestic sales have declined in many sectors. Expanding abroad also allows companies to ride out recessions more easily by spreading their sales among multiple markets. In the past decade, Muskens said, Pennsylvania has doubled the value of products it exports, and DCED’s international business development program last year helped generate more than $525 million in export sales, producing $64 million in state tax revenues, at the cost of a $6 million state investment in the program.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has taken many unprecedented steps in the past three years to try to boost the economy and counter the effects of a financial crisis that triggered a painful recession. It’s kept the short-term interest rate it controls at a record low near zero since December 2008. And it’s bought about $2 trillion in U.S. Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities to try to hold down longer-term rates. That’s caused the Fed’s portfolio to hit nearly $2.9 trillion, from less than $1 trillion in 2007. Some steps the Fed has taken: • Dec. 15-16, 2008: The Fed creates a target range for interest rates and cuts its key federal funds rate to between zero and 0.25 percent. That’s a record low. • Jan. 27-28-2009: The central bank signals it’s prepared to buy longer-term Treasuries and expand other programs. • March 17-18, 2009: The Fed says it will start buying up to $300 billion in government bonds over six months. It also decides to boost purchases of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities and debt. • Aug. 27, 2010: Chairman Ben Bernanke lists several options to boost the economy, including the purchase of additional government bonds. • Nov. 3, 2010: The Fed announces it will buy $600 billion more in Treasury bonds to try to hold down longer-term rates. • June 22, 2011: The Fed confirms it will complete its purchases of $600 billion in Treasury bonds by the end of the month. • Aug. 9, 2011: It pledges to keep its benchmark short-term rate at nearly zero until mid-2013. • Aug. 26, 2011: Bernanke proposes no new steps to boost the economy. But he signals that Congress should do more to promote hiring and growth, or risk delaying the economy’s return to full health. He also says the Fed’s September policy meeting will last two days instead of one. • Sept. 21, 2011: The Fed announces that it will sell $400 billion of its shorter-term securities to buy longer-term holdings to try to lower Treasury yields further. The Fed also says it will reinvest its holdings of mortgagebacked securities.

Taking Motorola’s Droid Bionic from Verizon for a test drive I GUESS I ALWAYS considered Motorola the middle-of-theroad brand, as far as Android-based smartphones go. The ubiquitous Droid, the Droid X, the Droid 2, and all of the others — all fine, topnotch phones — seemed to lack the flair of Samsung, or the nice touches that made HTC phones more appealing, in my opinion. So, despite all the hype, I was somewhat skeptical of the Droid Bionic — I expected it to be “just another evolution” of the Droid product line. I was wrong. The design leaves no doubt that it’s from the same lineage as the Droid X and Droid 2 — the shape and size all clearly point to it’s origins. But there was something different about it. The gleaming finish and softly

NICK DELORENZO TECH TALK curved corners lend an air of sophistication, for one. The choice of colors and material, for another, give the impression of quality. But the real magic starts when you hit the power button. One thing I have always liked about the Motorola-manufactured Android phones is their boot animation. Once you arrive at the “Home” page and start using the phone, one thing becomes clear: This phone is something special. I would characterize it as one of the most responsive smartphones I’ve seen to date — the interface is slick, smooth and easy to use. The Dual Core processors, GeForce GPU, and 4G LTE transmission capability all

equal aplomb. The display features a superior 256 pixel-perinch density, and was one of the most clear I’ve seen to date. The cameras (there are two, one forward facing, one rear) were excellent quality — the main camera is an 8 Megapixel model with dual flash – it can also shoot HD video — as is now standard of most high-end smartphones.

The latest estimate is that the satellite will re-enter the atmosphere sometime during the afternoon, then break apart. The pieces are not expected to be passing over North America at that time. So there is a slim chance to none at all of being able to see it over our area. Chances are it will crash somewhere into an ocean in a path expected to be about 500 miles long. I'm hoping the location can be determined to find out just how big the pieces were that hit the earth. - Tom Clark

Middle ground key to cosmetics

By ERIN HILL PERRY

Detroit Free Press

ETROIT — No question, looks matter. • Pretty girls win prom queen. Gorgeous women get promoted. • That’s why you’ll never catch some women in public without makeup. • “The message, in general, from the cosmetics industry is that you’ve got to look beautiful, you have to be thin, you have to have this body type and that body type,” says Joyce Pearlman, a clinical social worker and therapist based in Huntington Woods, Mich. • “If that’s the message, you think you have to have the most expensive things, and you think ‘He won’t love me unless I’m a size 4 and I have a perfect face.’ ”

On average, U.S. women spend $10 billion on cosmetics, beauty supplies and perfumes annually, according to Hoovers Inc. And for some guys, a woman with a perfect face — or at least one with impeccable makeup — opens the dialogue. Pedro Villarreal, 31, prefers a woman who puts some effort into her appearance. The quality analyst who works in Dearborn, Mich., says a woman in makeup definitely would catch his interest much faster than one not wearing makeup. “Maybe it’s just because I’m so used to seeing women in makeup,” the single Woodhaven, Mich., man says. “A woman not wearing makeup would be more noticeable, but wearing makeup would get my attention.” Overdoing it also gets his attention. “When I go to the gym, and I see women in makeup, that’s weird,” he says. But, experts say, makeup firms target flaws to get people to buy their products. Paula Begoun, who has her own beauty line called Paula’s Choice and calls herself the Cosmetics Cop, isn’t so sure about that. She says women are less influenced than studies would lead us to believe. “If I have a pimple, I don’t need an advertisement to tell me to cover it up,” Begoun says. “I understand the advertisement has to assert a negative, but let’s say I have wrinkles — even if they tell me, I know I got wrinkles.” It’s far more important for a woman

to express confidence in her looks, Begoun says. Michele Lockley, 34, says she has had more dating success without heavy makeup and that no one needs it on a regular basis. “You can be pretty without it,” says Lockley of Redford, adding that her boyfriend prefers her natural look. “I’ve had the same foundation for a year,” says the nursing assistant. “If I’m having a really bad day, and my face is really, really red, I’ll wear a water-based sensitive-skin foundation just to lighten the red.” Then there are folks like Rashida Williams, who wear cosmetics almost every day. A makeup artist with more than 10 years’ experience, Williams says she wears makeup regularly because it makes her feel good and her goal is to make her clients feel the same way. “It enhances all of this natural God-given beauty,” says the married mother of one who lives in Romulus, Mich. “When I don’t have on makeup, I can admit that I do not feel that pretty,” she says. “I know that sounds silly, but makeup allows me to feel a lot better about me.” While looking good bolsters self-confidence, Pearlman says makeup should never trump quality interactions with people. Sometimes cosmetics can put up a barrier when it comes to intimacy because women aren’t revealing their true selves. That is, until the makeup comes off at night. “It’s got to be some middle ground,” Pearlman says.

Punctuation a thing of the past?

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

id you know, that its National Punctuation Day on “Saturday”! If you immediately caught everything wrong with that sentence (which should have read, “Did you know it’s National Punctuation Day on Saturday?”) you might especially appreciate this quasi-holiday.

If you’ve never heard of National Punctuation Day, maybe that’s because in this, its eighth year, the founders are trying to draw more attention to what they see as a national problem.

Widespread misuse of punctuation has become evident on a plethora of business signs – Employee’s Only instead of Employees Only; Todays specials instead of Today’s specials – and in social media – “Does anyone know the schedule for the center city bus’s” instead of “center city buses” or “Friends, I need you’re help” instead of “your” help. Even nationally recognized clothing brand Old Navy made a highly publicized mistake last month, printing a whole collection of collegiate Tshirts cheering on various teams with “Lets Go!” instead of “Let’s Go!” Why the lack of love for punctuation? Is it laziness or just forgetfulness of the basic rules we learned way back when? Sherri Yeninas, a fifth-grade teacher at State Street Elemen-

tary in Larksville, thinks technology plays a part. “I don’t know that punctuation is no longer important, but it might be that people don’t think about it as much in everyday life because of texting and Internet language,” she said. Though the abbreviated, acronym-heavy online style of writing is becoming increasingly prevalent, this doesn’t mean schools aren’t stressing traditional writing. Yeninas teaches Pennsylvania System of School Assessment writing as part of her curriculum. She said punctuation plays a big part not only in the testing See PUNCTUATION, Page 5C

‘You’re’ is a contraction that means ‘you are;’ ‘your’ is the possessive form of ‘you.’

A colon should follow ‘IE,’ and commas would come in handy after ‘exposed’ and ‘change.’

If we use our noodles, we’ll realize apostrophes don’t pluralize.

MARKS TO LIVE BY Save the apostrophes from extinction; don’t throw them around willy-nilly. Go easy on the commas, too, but don’t forget them when warranted. And please reserve the quotation marks for direct quotes or works titles or at least sarcasm. • Apostrophe: Indicates the possessive case, as in woman’s coat or man’s hat, but don’t forget that certain words that do not become plural by adding an s still take the apostrophe in the same place, as in women’s coats. An apostrophe also indicates plurals of acronyms and symbols (several M.D.’s). The most common modern-day mistake? Apostrophes used to pluralize nouns, as in, “She has several notebook’s” or “My teacher’s are all nice this year.” • Colon: Indicates a distinct division in a sentence to show that what follows is an elaboration or summation of what comes before. Example: We need to bring plenty of camping supplies: food, water, a tent and flashlights. (If you’d like to see a comma after

“tent,” don’t be offended but read on. The Oxford, or serial, comma is a matter of style rather than hardand-fast rule. Journalists most often omit serial commas; lawyers rarely do. To quote Theodore Bernstein: “Grave issues of law have hung on commas.” • Comma: Indicates the briefest pause of all punctuation marks. One basic rule: Use a comma in a compound sentence with two subjects, two verbs and a conjunction: “I like salt, but I don’t like pepper.” Ditch the comma in “I like salt but don’t like pepper.” • Semicolon: Almost equal to a full stop, it mainly separates clauses not linked by a conjunction: “Rudeness to the teacher will not be tolerated; do not talk back.” • Quotation marks: A sign reading “Fresh” Fish can mean something’s really fishy about the fish. • Hyphen: A hyphen can erase ambiguity. A man-eating shark is different from a man eating shark. Source: www.nationalpunctuationday.com; Theodore Bernstein’s “The Careful Writer.”

PUNCTUATION Continued from Page 1C

but in everyday life. “When you talk to someone, you can use inflection, tone, facial and body movements,” she said. “You can’t do that in writing. You need to use punctuation to stress those moments, just like you would when you’re talking to someone.” No matter the reason for misplaced or missing commas, extraneous apostrophes – which don’t make a word plural – and abundance of quotation marks, punctuation faux pas are everywhere. Former newspaper reporter Jeff Rubin founded National Punctuation Day, and this year educators across the nation are getting involved. Some are challenging students to hit the streets with their smartphones and photo-

graph all the errors they can find. The results will become part of educational videos on YouTube. “It’s sad to say, but writing skills, punctuation skills, communication skills in general, have just deteriorated over the years,” Rubin said in a press release. “You see it in newspapers, magazines and even books — misspelled words, words used incorrectly. It’s extremely frustrating. I want National Punctuation Day to bring this to the forefront of the American consciousness in a fun, silly way.” We took to area streets to help the cause and, just so you know, we played fair and even photographed our own slips.

Readers differ on the role of cemeteries as places to pray and to play Dear Abby: I am writing in response to the letter you printed from “Respectful in Ohio” (July 25). I am so glad you addressed the subject of proper etiquette in cemeteries. The cemetery where my family members are buried has become a playground for the neighbors in the area. When I visit, I see people walking their dogs on and off leashes even though they are aware of the “No Dogs Allowed” signs. Children are bicycling, rollerblading and skateboarding, along with joggers and walkers. I come to the cemetery to visit with my lost loved ones and tend

DEAR ABBY ADVICE to their graves. I find it disgusting and disturbing that these folks are using our sacred place for their personal pleasures. Abby, thank you so much for your wisdom on this matter. — Jean C. in Massachusetts Dear Jean: Thank you for agreeing with me. However, some readers felt differently, believing that cemeteries are for the living as well as the dead. My newspaper readers comment: Dear Abby: You should know that

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

there is a trend where groups of dog walkers are taking over the care of deteriorating cemeteries. In return for cleaning up, restoring and maintaining graveyards, dog walkers are given permission to walk and run their dogs there. Some readers may find this practice disrespectful, but it has resulted in many cemeteries being restored to the beauty and dignity its occupants deserve. — Carla in Virginia Dear Abby: When I read the letter from “Respectful,” it took me back a few years. As I was mowing in the town cemetery, I went around a gravestone into some tall grass and my mower stalled. When I

CRYPTOQUOTE

turned it over to see what I had hit, I found a pair of pantyhose wrapped around the blade of the mower. Apparently, cemeteries are sometimes used as a lover’s lane. I agree with you about practicing good behavior in places like these. But I’ll always laugh recalling what happened to me. I wonder if the lady who forgot her hose that night caught a cold. — Groundskeeper Dear Abby: Several years ago in a nearby church cemetery, a young couple and their 4-year-old were putting flowers on a relative’s grave. The child got a bit antsy and climbed on a headstone. The stone was loose and tipped over onto the child and

killed him. No one should let children play in a cemetery. — Jan in Sartell, Minn. Dear Abby: I want children to play on my grave. What could be better than spending eternity listening to the laughter of children? As for dogs, unless you are going to diaper all the pigeons, dogs are the least of my worries! — Alanson in New Jersey To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will feel as though you are getting reacquainted with the real you after being out of touch for a while. You never really abandoned yourself completely. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will let loose and enjoy yourself. Your playfulness is so attractive to people of all ages. You’ll revel in the attention you receive from people of several different generations. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may stray outside your realm of expertise, but you’ll be amazed at what you can do with very little practice. It’s because you gravitate toward what matches your natural talents and abilities. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be inspired to make subtle changes in your physiology. You’ll use your body to great effect. With a stronger posture and a greater physical presence, you’ll command the kind of respect you deserve. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll learn quickly and apply what you discover right away. The problem is, if you don’t use this knowledge over and over, you’ll forget the steps. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll try something new that seems suspiciously like something you’ve tried a dozen times before. Alas, snake oil sold in different packaging is still snake oil. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People put on their best clothes when they plan to see you — at least figuratively. But you can bet that when they primp in the mirror, they are thinking about what you’ll see.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you want to become good at, you will become good at. You have to apply yourself, though. That is normally not a problem for you, but today comes with extra-fascinating temptations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your philosophy will lead you to other people who think along similar lines. It will be as though you are sending out a radio signal that only certain other receivers can hear. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be a choice. Should you be strong, or should you be weak? It will be important for you to take a dominant position regardless of whether you are actually feeling that way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes you wonder if the exciting days are all behind you. Well, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Your interesting past will lead to an even more interesting future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You simply cannot make the sacrifices and compromises you were once willing to make. It would be unwise, inconvenient and possibly physically impossible. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 22). You claim your space and expand your territory this year. A partner will help you, working and negotiating on your behalf. Your bold move in October yields results. January brings the start of an exciting project that will shape your year. Loving words will be featured in the spring. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 34, 20, 1 and 32.
