WEST PITTSTON The
streets in this flood-ravaged West
Side community are lined with
piles of mud-covered, water-
soaked memories.
One of several towns unpro-
tected by the Luzerne County
flood protection system, West
Pittston residents and business
owners are cleaning out fromwa-
ter levels that far surpassed
Agnes Flood levels.
Faced with the task of cleaning
out their properties and assess-
ing damage, these resilient peo-
ple are determined to come back
and even more determined to re-
newthe fight to build a levee sys-
tem along the Susquehanna Riv-
er.
The river reached a record
high water mark of 42.66 feet
early Friday, causing it to flow
well beyond its banks and into
the homes and businesses well
past Wyoming Avenue, reaching
points Agnes never touched in

WASHINGTON Some So-
cial Security advocates fear that
President Barack Obamas desire
to cut taxes supporting the pro-
gramwill undermine its vaunted
stature as a self-financing pen-
sion systemthat provides checks
to retirees based on contribu-
tions they made while working.
For now, though, the adminis-
tration insists and many ex-
perts agree that the proposal
wouldhave no impact onthe pro-
grams financial soundness or
ability to pay benefits averaging
$1,077 a month to 55 million re-
cipients.
Cutting Social Security taxes
is the keystone of Obamas $447
billion plan to create jobs and
leave more cash in peoples pock-
ets, an effort by the president to
bolster the ailing economy and
his own 2012 re-election pro-
spects.
The payroll tax cut an en-
largement of one already in ef-
fect this year would take a
$240 billion bite out of Social Se-
curity revenues in 2012. Obama
would replenish the lost FICA
(Federal Insurance Contribution
Act) taxes with money from the
overall federal budget keep-
ing Social Security whole but
forcing the government to bor-
row more and further swelling
the federal debt..
The problem with Obamas
proposal, critics say, is that prop-
ping up Social Security with gen-
eral funds from the Treasury
erodes its revered status as a self-
funded insurance program in
which payroll taxes collected
from workers pay benefits for re-
tirees, the disabled and their sur-
vivors. The proposal would put
Social Security into competition
for scarce federal dollars with
other programs, leaving it more
exposed to budget-cutters.
As long as we could say its
self-funded, we have the high
ground in defending the pro-
Obamas tax plans worry Social Securitys allies
Administration insists tax cut
proposal would not impact
ability to pay benefits.

E
linor C. Aufiero, formerlyof Ash-
ley, passed away peacefully at
the age of 99 surrounded by her
daughter, son, and son-in-law on
Sunday, September 11, 2011, in
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.
Born on May 21, 1912, to the late
Christopher Justin Chicknosky and
Agatha Markosky Chicknosky in
Breslau, Hanover Township, Elinor
graduated from Hanover Township
High School in 1929.
Always adventurous and inde-
pendent, Elinor set out on her own
to obtain a position as a typist in
New York City and live with family
friends in New Jersey.
Upon returning to the Wyoming
Valley, Elinor married Frank H. Au-
fiero on June 21, 1934, and they
raised three children, Dominick,
Marlene and Joseph.
Franks sudden death in 1944 left
Elinor a widow responsible for rais-
ing their three children, one only an
infant, on her own. Focused on her
children, she sought employment
and demonstrated the resilience
and tenacity that characterized her
life.
After working at Spencer Surgi-
cal Supports, she secured a position
as a bookkeeper and sewing teacher
in 1950 at Singer Sewing Machine
Company until she retired in 1975.
A master seamstress, she taught
many her art while employing her
talents tocraft beautiful promdress-
es for her daughter. Elinor prudent-
lymanagedher moneytoensureher
family trips vacations to New York
City, Atlantic City, and the Pocono
Mountains.
When her grandchildren were
born, she designed their clothes,
neatly stitching in their personal la-
bel ineach. Shedelightedthemwith
homemade baked goods, from Tur-
key Cookies at Thanksgiving to
Easter Pie to beautifully decorated
Italian, Anise, and a host of other
cookies at Christmas. Elinor estab-
lished holiday traditions that rival
all.
As much as Elinor did for her
family, shedidfor others. Elinor was
a devoted member of the Holy Ros-
ary Church in Wilkes-Barre, often a
daily attendee of Mass, with deep
faith in the prayers she said every
morning and night. She was a mem-
ber and officer of the Holy Rosary
Church, The Sacred Heart and Ros-
ary Society, Holy Rosary Federal
Credit Union, and St. Nicholas Se-
nior Citizens. With the Senior Citi-
zens, she traveledtocultural events,
Hawaii, and various other resorts
throughout the United States.
Her faithwas deeplytestedtwice,
after her husband died; during the
Flood of 1972, when she lost all of
her possessions and home; and in
1998 when her youngest son, Jo-
seph, died. Just as when she was a
young widow, Elinor summoned an
inner strength that belied her petite
persona. She showed her family
how to revel in the good memories
and endure the sadness of his ab-
sence.
Fiercely independent, Elinor
drove until she was 96 and lived on
her own until she was 97. She loved
to garden, wear high heels, and re-
gale her family with stories of her
youth. Whenshe joinedthe commu-
nity at Heritage House in Wilkes-
Barre, she won over the nurses with
her sweet disposition and her ever-
present smile.
In addition to the loss of her par-
ents, husband, Frank, and son Jo-
seph, she was preceded in death by
her brother, JosephChicknosky; sis-
ters, Mary Bolka, Sallie Filgueria,
Victoria Gilsky, and most recently
Louise Gomez on September 2,
2011.
Surviving are her children, Do-
minick Aufiero and his wife, Marti-
na, Mountain Top; daughter, Mar-
lene Mason, and her husband, Rob-
ert, Kingston; daughter-in-law, Ani-
ta Michel; seven grandchildren; and
12 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at
9 a.m. on Thursday in the Nat &
Gawlas Funeral Home, 89 Park
Ave., Wilkes-Barre, with a Mass of
Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. in St.
Ignatius of Loyola Church, 339 N.

nover Township. Family and friends

Picking up where the last Re-
publican presidential debate left
off, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney
scuffled Monday night over So-
cial Security, trading barbs inthe
state with the most crucial elder-
ly constituency in the country.
The prickly tone of the nation-
ally televised session was set
with the first question from the
studio audience in Tampa, Fla.,
asking howthe government pen-
sion plan could be reformed
without scaring off senior citi-
zens.
Perry, the Texas governor, so-
berly promised a slam-dunk
guarantee that program is going
to be in place for todays elderly
recipients and those moving to-
ward receiving Social Security.
He did not, however, back
away from his provocative sug-
gestion that Social Security was
a Ponzi scheme.
Romney seized on that lan-
guage calling it over the top, un-
necessary and frightful to peo-
ple.
While the financing of Social
Security merits discussion, the
former Massachusetts governor
said, Perry has gone much fur-
ther, suggesting dismantlement
of the program by turning con-
trol over to individual states, to
operate as they choose. That,
Romney said, is likewise fright-
ening to senior citizens.
Perry ignored the specifics
and said simply that it was time
for a thoughtful conversation
about reformingthe government
pension system, rather than en-
gaging in demagoguery a re-
mark that drew a roar from the
supportive crowd of tea party
faithful.
He then sought to turn the is-
sue around and attack Romney,
saying he had once character-
ized the Social Security program
as criminal.
Thedebateat theFloridaState
Fairgrounds was sponsored by
CNN, the Tea Party Express and
dozens of tea party chapters
around the country.
Like the Southern California
meeting, the session Monday
night felt early on like a two-per-
son debate, with the other six
candidates standing sidelined
until the moderator, CNNs Wolf
Blitzer, asked them to react to
Perry and Romney.
Former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum said he has been
talking about Social Security re-
form for well over a decade, dis-
playing the courage to tell the
truth in another state with a
large elderly population.
Rep. Ron Paul said he would
like to see young people given a
chance to opt out and invest
their money where they choose.
Businessman Herman Cain de-
clined to endorse or reject Per-
rys language, saying, I dont
care what you call it, its broken.
Former House Speaker Newt
Gingrichdrewanappreciateroar
from the audience when he said
he was not especially worried
about Perry or Romney frighten-
ing voters when Obama scares
them every single day.

punches at GOP presidential

HOW TO HELP
WILKES-BARRE -- An other-
wise routine Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board work session Mon-
day may have provideda hint of a
looming debate on the fate of
Meyers High School.
During a brief update of con-
struction and repair projects, the
ongoing effort to find a water
leak sparked a discussion about
the school itself.
Board member Phil Latinski,
who has pushed for a major re-
evaluation of how the district
spends money on building main-
tenance, questioned the value of
constant repairs to the turn-of-
the-century building. In June,
Latinski moved to have the
building closed, but the board
voted instead to authorize an in-
ternal reviewon the feasibility of
shifting roughly 1,000 students
into remaining buildings.
Dr. Mark Schiowitz, who was
appointed to finish one year left
in the term of Teresa McGuire
when she resigned in December,
said he previously would have
voted for closing the school, but
has reconsidered his position as
he researched the topic.
Schiowitz noted closing the
school would require the district
to bus more students, eliminate
a community center in south
Wilkes-Barre and increase the
student population in other
schools. He also noted one plan
being discussed is to build a new
senior high school and renovate
one of the other twohighschools
to accommodate junior high
and/or middle school students
an expensive proposition.
Keeping three high schools
could also give the district the
option of creating a school that
focuses on one aspect of educa-
tion, such as arts or science.
Schiowitz, whose appointed
term expires in December and
who did not seek election to a
full term, saidhewas not arguing
for or against closing Meyers,
but wantedthe boardtoconsider
those factors.
The boardhas debatedthe fate
of Meyers for more than a dec-
ade, as enrollment shifted and
new structural problems were
discovered. The new study will
look at the pros and cons of clos-
ing Meyers by the start of next
school year, and must be com-
pleted by January.

Fate of aging high school has

WEST PITTSTON
Testing in death continues
T
he state Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection said Mon-
day it is awaiting testing on the air
quality of a West Pittston home to
determine the
cause of an Exeter
womans death.
County Coroner
John Corcoran said
Saturday Carol
Mikols, 62, died
while house sitting
for her sister.
Mikols was
found inside a house at Susquehan-
na Avenue and Second Street in
West Pittston.
The state DEP and federal Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency have
been testing the air quality near the
home since Friday.
Kevin Sunday, a spokesman for
the DEP, said Monday that oxygen
levels in all other homes were nor-
mal, and the oxygen in the house
Mikols was found in has half the
normal level, mixed with an organic
compound.
That organic compound can be
anything from carbon dioxide to
methane, Sunday said, and EPA
testing is still incomplete on what
the compound is.
Sunday said the DEP is contin-
uing to monitor all houses in the
development and trying to discern
the compound and where it came
from.

Volunteers of Americas Manna
House Transitional Living Facility
on River Street in Wilkes-Barre
continues to be challenged by recent
flooding.
The basement of the facility flood-
ed by seepage in that area. CEO
William Jones said the eight previ-
ously homeless youths housed by
the facility would not be able to
return until the electrical system,
compromised by flood water, was
fixed and then inspected.
In the meantime, options for tem-
porary housing were being investi-
gated, which would allow the youths
to continue their efforts to reach
goals such as employment and
school attendance.

WASHINGTON The Wilkes-Barre
river gauge knocked out of commission
by a roiling Susquehanna River on
Thursday night will soon be replaced,
and at a higher height.
But the future of federal funding re-
mains in doubt for the $2.4 million flood
forecasting and warning system in New
York andPennsylvania andpoints south,
which includes $1 million for the river
gauges that track what is happening at
the moment and the rain gauges that
help predict future water levels.
The systems funding was eliminated
by Congress for 2011, the victim of a
pushfor spending cuts anddeficit reduc-
tion.
That left the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Environmental Protection and
the U.S. Geological Survey to pay
$270,000 to maintain the river gauges in
the state for the remainder of the year,
said James Campbell, director of the
U.S. Geological Surveys Pennsylvania
Water Science Center, which participa-
tes in running the system. The geolog-
ical survey also contributes to keeping
the system going.
Thestatehas committedtopickingup
that cost again for 2012, because it looks
like pending federal spending bills for
the federal fiscal year that begins Oct. 1
again wont pay for the river gauges,
Campbell said.
Future uncertain
But Campbell said he is not sure what
the long-term future holds for the river
gauge system.
That long-term funding picture could
be a topic of discussion at the next meet-
ing of the Susquehanna River Basin
Commission, scheduled for Thursday.
Susan Obleski, the basin commis-
sions spokeswoman, said that system-
wide, from New York to Pennsylvania
andpoints south, money was cobbledto-
gether by the commission, other state
agencies and the National Weather Ser-
vice to keep the river and rain gauges
and other parts of the flood warning and
forecasting system together for 2011.
Evenif Pennsylvania provides funding
for 2012, We donot knowwhere the rest
of the system stands for 2012, said
Obleski.
She noted that its important, for the
Wilkes-Barre area, for instance, to know
whats coming from the north when it
comes to rainfall and river levels.
While congressional earmarks
which involve lawmakers directing fed-
eral money for specific projects are
seemingly gone for the foreseeable fu-
ture, an attempt will be made to per-
suade the White House to include fund-
ing for the system in President Obamas
proposed 2013 budget, which will be re-
leased in February.
The river and rain gauge system has
rarely in recent years been included in
any administrations budget, leaving it
to Congress to appropriate the money.
With higher and higher hurdles in-
volved in obtaining federal funding spe-
cifically approved by Congress, river
gauge system proponents will continue
to look for other sources of funding, in-
cludingfromfederal agencies that might
be able to find money in their budgets
even if they arent directed to by individ-
ual lawmakers.
Obleski saidshehopes federal officials
can be persuaded that the flood warning
and forecasting systemsaves more mon-
ey than it costs. But state agencies, too,
are feeling the pinch of budget con-
straints and having to make up for feder-
al funding cuts.
Its painful to think that a cost-effec-
tive programthat protects public health,
safety and welfare could be a part of this
(federal) funding cut, Obleski said.
Funding supporters
Despite their zeal for cutting federal
spending, GOPReps. LouBarletta of Ha-
zleton and Tom Marino of Lycoming
Township have said the river gauge sys-
tem is a good use of federal funds. Sen.
Bob Casey, D-Scranton, also supports
federal funding for the system.
When the river gauge in Wilkes-Barre
was lost Thursday night, the river crest
height was forecast incorrectly in Lu-
zerne County.

PLAINS TWP. -- Michele Mleczynski
had just opened her business, Sugar
Artist Emporium, on River Street in
Plains Township on April 2.
Her shelves were filled with hun-
dreds of products for bakers, and new
merchandise for Halloween and Christ-
mas had recently arrived. She also had
equipment in the storage space for the
coffee shop her son, Jeff, was about to
open next door.
On Monday morning, every bit of it
was piled in a heap in front of the store
inthe Tuft-Tex Complex. Six other busi-
nesses in the strip center were also
wiped out by Susquehanna River flood-
ing that went up to the ceiling.
Welcome to our disaster, said Mlec-
zynski, as she surveyed the pile, which
included a collection of lollipop molds
filled with river mud instead of choco-
late.
Mleczynski lost an estimated
$65,000 in inventory and displays and
said she was unable to obtain flood in-
surance as a renter. Federal assistance
will be her only hope of reopening, she
said.
Otherwise I will be out of business,
Mleczynski said, her voice cracking.
Im trying not to think about how up-
setting this is.
John Zavada Jr., owner of County Op-
tical, estimated that he lost at least
$400,000 in equipment, including a
lens-cutting machine that cost
$100,000. He also rents space in the
Tuft-Tex Complex and said he was de-
nied flood insurance because the gov-
ernment claimed he was not in a flood
zone.
I wanted to buy it just in case, he
said.
Precautions failed
He elevated one of his optical ma-
chines on cinderblocks 2 feet off the
ground, but the water rose to the top of
his business, knocking down ceiling
tiles that were nowpart of the mudmix-
ture coating his floor.
Everythings gone Im talking ev-
erything, he said. Forty years down
the drain in one day. At this point, I
dont know if were going to be able to
come back.
Mike Musto, who owns the complex
with several family members, said he
has already hired five contractors to re-
pair the building, hoping to have it
ready for occupation in a month.
He estimated the building and con-
tents of his familys business, Tuft-Tex
Carpet, sustained about a million dol-

SHICKSHINNY Resi-
dents emotions in this bor-
ough of less than 1,000 ran
the gamut Monday as they
began recovery fromFridays
flood devastation.
One was resentment.
Imgoing to go to the dike
(in the Wyoming Valley) and
put a big sign on it that says
Happy 150th Anniversary,
Shickshinny. Heres your
gift. I dont care what the
politicians say. These people
knowwhat that dike is doing
to them. Its killing this
town, Shickshinny Fire
Chief/Emergency Manage-
ment Coordinator Kevin
Morris said.
Mayor Beverly Moore esti-
mated80 percent of the town
was affected by flood waters
that in lower-lying areas rose
to the roofs of houses when
the Susquehanna River crest-
ed at 42.66 feet.
Morris and others believe
the Wyoming Valley Levee
System north of them did its
job keeping the water with-
in the river banks.
That is, until the waters
pass through the system and
hit downstream communi-
ties suchas Shickshinnywith
greater force than ever be-
cause they can no longer
spread out upstream.
This may be the death of
the town and its mainly due
to that dike, Morris said.
If its suggested that the
Wyoming Valley would have
beenfloodedwithout the lev-
ee, Morris believes fair is fair.
Let them share the pain.
Why is Mrs. Smith on Main
Street in Wilkes-Barre any
better than Mrs. Smith on
MainStreet inShickshinny?
I think this is the end of
the line. I hope not and Im
trying to be optimistic, but
there are a lot of homeown-
ers who just said, Ive had
enough, Morris said.
Cynthia Beach, 53, has
lived with her husband,
Doug, 54, at their 10 N. Sus-
quehanna Ave. home for
about 30years, but theydont
plan on staying there much
longer. Hit by flood waters
five times before, the past
weekends disaster was the fi-
nal straw.
Weve been through it
enough. Were just tired.
Were not getting any young-
er, Cynthia said. The
neighbors next door are leav-
ing. Theyre tired too.
The Beaches and their
children, Andrew, 22, and Jo-
seph, 19, were able to get
some belongings moved out
before the midnight evacua-
tion, but they still lost a lot.
The government keeps
promising this and promis-
ing that, and theyre never
going to do anything, Doug
Beachsaid. Theydont want
to raise (a levee), so were
just going to leave.
Or let them tear (the
house) down and give us the
money, Cynthia Beach said.
A couple blocks north, Lil-
lian Kresge, 85, sat in a lawn
chair across the street from
her home of 45 years watch-
ing her nephew, Aaron Jones
and his son, Aaron Jr., wash
her porch with a high-pres-
sure sprayer.
As she looked at her mud-
covered belongings on the
sidewalk, her voice cracked

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge on Monday made
several rulings regarding the up-
coming capital murder trial of
Hugo Selenski, including that his
stand-by attorneys will remainon
the case.
Judge Joseph Van Jura made
the rulings after attorneys last
week made several requests in
the trial scheduled to begin Sept.
19.
Selenski, 38, of Kingston
Township, faces two counts of
homicide and several other relat-
ed charges in the deaths of Tam-
my Fassett and Michael Kerkow-
ski, both 37, in May 2002. Their
bodies were discovered in a shal-
low grave outside Selenskis
home in June 2003.
If convictedof first-degreemur-
der, Selenski faces either the
death penalty or life in prison
without parole.
One request was made by Se-
lenskis stand-by counsel, attor-
neys John Pike, Robert Buttner
and David Lampman, who asked
that substitute attorneys be ap-
pointed to Selenskis case.
The attorneys said that be-
cause Selenski had expressed
displeasure with them and re-
fused to discuss his case with
them, substitute counsel should
be appointed even if it requires a
continuance (of the trial), and
that Selenski said he wishes to
have new counsel.
Van Jura denied that request
Monday, when he also denied
several requests made by prose-
cutors.
District Attorney Jackie Musto
Carroll, Deputy Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney David Pedri and
Assistant District Attorneys Jar-
rett Ferentino and Michael Mel-
nick requested that jurors be per-
mitted to see the property of Ker-
kowski, which Van Jura denied
Monday.
Van Jura also denied a request
byprosecutors not toallowSelen-
ski to introduce any evidence of
analibi at the time of the trial and
a request to conduct a neuro-psy-
chiatric evaluation of Selenski.
Prosecutors also asked for a
pre-trial hearing to be scheduled,
which Van Jura granted, and set a
hearing for Thursday. Earlier this
month, VanJuraallowedSelenski
to represent himself at his trial,
with the assistance of stand-by
counsel.
Selenskis stand-by counsel can
answer questions Selenski has
throughout jury selection and
trial but cannot activelyparticipa-
te in the case.
Judge rules Selenskis attorneys must stay on case

CONYNGHAMTWP. A man
was arrested on charges he
threatened a volunteer during
the Susquehanna River flood
with a sword.
Scott A. Slominski, 27, of Italy
Street, Mocanaqua, was charged
with terroristic threats, dis-
orderly conduct and public
drunkenness. He was arraigned
Friday and jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $2,500 bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Glenn Walp told state police
at Shickshinny he was volun-
teering for the state Department
of Environmental Protection
taking pictures of flooded
homes on Italy Street when
Slominski approached his vehi-
cle.
Slominski was screaming at
Walp and his wife to do some-
thing about the flood.
Walp told Slominski to leave
his wife alone.
Township Supervisor Edward
Whitebread told state police
Walp was volunteering to take
pictures of flooded homes and
he witnessed Slominski arguing
with Walp. Whitebread said he
saw Slominski grab a sword
from a shed and heard him say
he was going to get Walp, the
criminal complaint says.
State police said in the com-
plaint Slominski returned to the
area with Walp holding a metal
rake.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Wednesday before
District Judge John Hasay in
Shickshinny.

health authorities warned residents in

The wildfire burning about 10 miles
north of Goldendale was 50 percent
contained, despite hot, dry weather in
the region. The fire has burned about 6
square miles, or more than 4,200 acres.
A lack of wind has aided firefighters,
but those light winds also mean smoke
tends to hang over the region.

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Barack Obama bluntly
challenged Congress Monday
to act immediately on his new
jobs plan, brandishing a copy
of the legislation in the Rose
Garden and demanding: No
games, no politics, no delays.
Surrounded by police offi-
cers, firefighters, teachers,
construction workers and oth-
ers he said would be helped by
the $447 billion package, the
president said the only thing
that would block its passage
would be lawmakers deciding
it wasnt good politics to work
with him. We cant afford
these same political games,
not now, Obama said.
The president sent the
package to Congress later
Monday, after unveiling it last
week in a speech to a joint ses-
sion of Congress. Then hes
heading out to try to sell it to
the public, today in Ohio
home state of House Speaker
John Boehner and Wednes-
day in North Carolina.
At the same time, the Dem-
ocratic National Committee
is backing up the effort with a
new ad campaign in political-
ly key states from Nevada to
New Hampshire.
The centerpiece of the plan
cuts payroll taxes that pay for
Social Security, giving a tax
break to workers and busi-
nesses. Theres also new
spending for teachers and
school construction, and an
extension of jobless benefits,
among other elements. Re-
publican lawmakers who con-
trol the House have promised
quick reviewof the legislation
and seem open to the tax-cut-
ting elements, but some have
already rejected new spend-
ing.
Obama has said the plan
could be passed without add-
ing to the nations deficit, and
on Monday, the White House
detailed the specifics of how
the legislation would be paid
for. It would rely on a series of
tax hikes that have all previ-
ously been proposed by the
White House and rejected by
Republicans. They are:
$400 billion from limiting
the itemized deductions for
charitable contributions and
other deductions that can be
taken by individuals making
over $200,000 a year and fam-
ilies making over $250,000;
$40 billion from closing
loopholes for oil and gas com-
panies;
$18 billion from requiring
fund managers to pay higher
taxes on certain income;
$3 billion from changing
the tax treatment of corporate
jets.

NAIROBI, Kenya A leak-
ing gasoline pipeline in Ke-
nyas capital exploded on
Monday, turning part of a
slum into an inferno in which
at least 75 people were killed
and more than 100 hurt.
Flames leapt out from the
pipeline in a radius of some
300 yards, setting shacks
ablaze and incinerating scores
of people. Reporters later saw
clusters of charred bodies and
blackened bones at the site.
Some burned bodies floated
in a nearby river filled with
sewage. Homes had been built
right up to the pipeline, the
residents said.
Ive lost count of the num-
ber of bodies, said Wilfred
Mbithi, the policeman in
charge of operations in Nairo-
bi as he stood at the scene.
Many had dived into the riv-
er trying to put out their
flames.
Red Cross official Pamela
Indiaka said the Red Cross is
providing body bags and has
dealt with 75 bodies so far.
The death toll from the blast
may still rise.
Nearby, a young woman
clawed through smoldering
timbers, screaming in grief.
Others wandered by the re-
mains of the inferno, frantical-
ly dialing phone numbers that
didnt go through or staring
around in disbelief.
Fires still smoldered among
the twisted wreckage of corru-
gated iron sheets and scat-
tered possessions. Visibility
was poor because of rain and
smoke.
Resident Joseph Mwangi,
34, said he was feeding his
cow when people went run-
ning past him, calling out that
there was a leak in the pipe-
line. He said others started
drawing fuel and that he was
going to go and get a bucket
andget fuel toowhenhe heard
an explosion around 9 a.m. By
then fuel had leaked into the
river and parts of the river had
also caught fire. People in
flames were jumping into the
fiery, stinking mess, he said.
Moments after speaking to
the AP, Mwangi discovered
two small charred bodies in
the burnt wreckage of his
home.
Those were my children,
he said blankly, before collaps-
ing on the ground sobbing.

stronghold by fighters believed
led by the former Libyan rulers
son.
The back-to-back strikes at the
Ras Lanouf oil facilitykillingat
least 15 anti-Gadhafi forces
showed that blows can still be in-
flicted deep within territory held
by the Western-backed opposi-
tion, which is struggling to break
throughthelast Gadhafi bastions.
Opposition reinforcements, in-
cluding convoys of pickup trucks
mounted with machine guns,
converged outside the loyalist-
held town of Bani Walid for a pos-
sible intensified assault after sev-
eral failed attempts to drive out
pro-Gadhafi forces. One opposi-
tion commander claimed Gadha-
fis son Seif al-Islamis leading loy-
alist forces massed in the town,
about 90miles southeast of Tripo-
li.
Its unlikely that pro-Gadhafi
fighters can withstand a sus-
tained siege on the town. But its
unclear whether the showdowns
in the last loyalist strongholds
including Gadhafis hometown of
Sirte will mark a crippling end
or open a new phase of an under-
ground insurgency and hit-and-
run attacks against Libyas new
leadership.
We will not be ruled after we
were the masters, said the brief
statement attributed to Gadhafi
that was readonSyrias Al-Rai TV
by its owner Mishan al-Jabouri, a
former Iraqi lawmaker and Gad-
hafi supporter.
The message described Libyas
new leaders as traitors who are
willing to turn over the countrys
oil riches to foreign interests.
Wewill not handLibyatocolo-
nialism, onceagain, as thetraitors
want, said the statement, which
pledged to fight against the
coup.
The firebrand words fromGad-
hafi contrast sharply with the
staggeringlosses for his regimein
recent weeks, includingbeingdri-
ven from the capital Tripoli and
left with only a handful of strong-
holds.
Gadhafis whereabouts are un-
known, but his followers claimhe
is still inLibya. Some of his family
members have fled to neighbor-
ing Algeria and others to Niger,
most recently his son al-Saadi.

NEW YORK To gauge how politically weak-
ened President Barack Obama has become, look to
the 9th Congressional District in New York City,
where voters unhappy with the president may elect a
Republican for the first time.
Todays special election to replace former Demo-
cratic Rep. Anthony Weiner has become too close to
call, with public opinion polling showing a slight
edge for Republican Bob Turner, a retired media
executive with no prior political experience.
Panicked at the prospect of an embarrassing loss,
Democrats have poured cash into the race and sent
in their stars to try to save the partys candidate,
state Assemblyman David Weprin. He has been
forced to defend Obamas economic policies even as
he tries to stress his own independence and close
ties to the community.
Republicans are working to frame the race as a
referendum on Obama, even though turnout is usu-
ally low in a special congressional election.
On Monday, House Republican Leader Eric Can-
tor argued that a Turner victory would be an un-
precedented win and the latest evidence of voter
dissatisfaction with Obama.
That district is not unlike the rest of the country.
People are very unhappy with the economy tight
now and, frankly, I would say unhappy with the lack
of leadership on the part of this White House, Can-
tor, of Virginia, told reporters in the Capitol.
Back in the district that spans parts of Queens and
Brooklyn, Turner campaigned with Rudy Giuliani,
the popular former New York City Republican may-
or.
A Siena Poll released Friday showed Turner lead-
ing Weprin among likely voters, with 50-44 percent
margin. The same poll found just 43 percent of vot-
ers approving of Obamas job performance, while 54
percent said they disapproved.
Election for Weiners seat too close to call

ed of a burglary-related offense
during a state of emergency, such
as a mandatory evacuation.
There is no looting crime per
say inthe crimes code, but it does
sayatheft is asecond-degreefelo-
ny if the offense happens duringa
natural disaster, Tokach said.
Its a much more severe penalty,
with maximum penalties of 10
years in prison and a $25,000
fine.
Tokach said the grading of a
theft charge depends onthe value
of property stolen.
Almost all thefts are misde-
meanors, but it all depends on
the value of the stolen property,
Tokach noted. If the value ex-
ceeds more than $2,000 or if its a
vehicle, its a third-degree felo-
ny.
Police charged Brenda Lee
Wolfe, 29, of Eley Street, and two
others with burglarizing a house
on Eley Street on Friday.
Sara Chicallo told police Wolfe
had a key to her house to care for
her dog while she evacuated.

ticedatelevision, acomputer and

Police allege they found the
items inthe Eley Street residence
of Christopher Wilson, 40, and
Marie Zuccaro, 32. Wolfe, Wilson
and Zuccaro remained jailed at
the county correctional facility
for lack of $30,000 bail each.
A second incident in Kingston
occurred on Penn Street at about
8:45 p.m. Thursday.
Police Chief Keith Keiper said
two men entered a house and
were confronted by the home-
owner.
The owner got a gooddescrip-
tion of the two and our guys
caught them a short time later,
Keiper said.
Police charged Charles Wickis-
er III, 21, of Kingston, and Justin
Todd Haden, 20, of Wilkes-Barre,
with felony criminal trespass.
They remainedjailedat the coun-
ty correctional facility for lack of
$20,000 bail.
Guard spots vehicle
Two Pennsylvania National
Guard members on patrol in
South Wilkes-Barre during the
evacuation on Friday spotted a
suspicious vehicle dropping peo-
ple off in the area of Plymouth
Avenue just before 1 p.m.
City police said they captured
Maurice Hassan Barnes, 19, of
High Street, Wilkes-Barre, and a
17-year-old boy hiding behind a
shed on Diebel Avenue. Police
said Barnes and the juvenile had
gloves and knives, and tried to
hide a bag containing money,
computers and other items, ac-
cording to charges filed.
The items were takenfromsev-
eral houses in the evacuated area
of South Wilkes-Barre, police
said.
Barnes was charged with bur-
glary related offenses and re-
mainedthecountyprisonfor lack
of $50,000bail. Thejuvenileis ex-
pected to be charged in juvenile
court.
City police said they also ar-
rested William Gronosky, 22, of
Carey Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, and
Kevin Williams Jr., 29, of Phila-
delphia, for allegedly entering a
house on Brookside Street, an
evacuated area hit by flooding, at
about 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
Gronosky and Williams
claimed they were checking on
the house for a friend, police said.
Police said the homeowner
confronted the two men, who
were captured when they ran out
the rear door.
Gronosky and Williams were
charged with burglary-related of-
fenses and jailed at the county
prison for lack of $10,000 bail
each.
At least two more people were
arrested in Plymouth, but there
were no names or details availa-
ble as of presstime.

Manor Care VIP Grand Opening scheduled for this Wednesday, September 14th
and Community Grand Opening scheduled for Thursday, September 15th
have been postponed.
Please look for our future date announcement!
EDWARDSVILLE After
more than 20 years as a medical
assistant, Diane Cowman and
her husband, Shawn, were excit-
ed to open their own day care
center.
They workedfor months tose-
cure the required certification
and approvals fromthe state. Af-
ter a month in business, they
were just beginning to turn the
corner, Diane Cowman said.
In a matter of hours last
Thursday, their business and
livelihood were gone.
Their center, the Play Care
Drop in Center, was among sev-
en businesses in the Mark Plaza
in Edwardsville that were inun-
datedwithanestimated8 feet or
more of floodwater Thursday in-
to Friday.
Their loss wont come close in
dollars to that suffered by the
plazas two flagship tenants,
Redners Warehouse Market and
Kmart, both of which sustained
extensive interior damage and
loss of product. But the emotion-
al and financial strain is almost
incalculable, Cowman said.
We were in there today, and
its 50 times worse than I antici-
pated, Cowman said Monday.
The one side of the wall is total-
ly caved in. Light fixtures in the
ceiling collapsed and came
down.
Both she and Shawn left their
jobs to start the day care, which
openedonAug. 15. Theycant re-
open at another site without go-
ing through the certification
process again, meaning they
now have no income, she said.
We had developed a custom-
er base. Everything was falling
into place, she said.
Spokespersons for Redners
and Kmart said they do not have
damage estimates yet, but both
stores suffered extensive loss of
product and significant interior
damage as water topped the
flood doors that have protected
both structures in the past.
Kmarts flood gate could pro-
tect it from a 34-foot river crest,
said spokeswoman Kim Freely,
while Redners flood gate pro-
tected it up to 37 feet, said
spokesman Eric White. The
doors were no match for Fridays
42.66 crest of the Susquehanna
River.
White said employees cleared
the store of all perishable goods,
including meat, and boxed and
canned products on shelves up
to 3 feet from the floor.
We did get some product out,
but that was in the early stages
when we were still looking at a
33-to-35-foot crest. Once it went
over that, it got over the flood
doors and everything was affect-
ed, White said.
John Grisham, chief account-
ingofficer for Arcadia Realty, the
plazas owner, saidthe four other
businesses Dollar General,
That Bounce Place, Payless
Shoes andLongJohnSilvers -- al-
so sustained significant damage.
All will be closed until further
notice.
I saw pictures of Long John
Silvers. Water was up to the
drive-through. It was more like a
float-through lane, Grisham
said.
He said its not known yet
whether any of the buildings in
the plaza, which has been hit by
at least two other serious floods
inthe past decade, sustainedany
structural damage. He said the
buildings will be checked by a
structural engineer.
Its going to be a lot of clea-
nup. As soon as we can we will
assess the situation, Grisham
said.

Area public schools were large-
ly unscathed physically by last
weeks flood, but calendars may
have to be revamped just days in-
to the new school year.
Some districts face significant
reworking of school bus routes to
get arounddamagedroads. Anda
handful of students in many dis-
tricts displacedbysevere damage
to their homes may get an unex-
pected mini-vacation.
The good news: In every dis-
trict contacted, administrators
praised community members,
teachers and other employees for
volunteering to help during the
crisis.
On our Facebook page, we put
out a call for volunteers to help at
the high school evacuation cen-
ter, Lake-Lehman Superintend-
ent James McGovernsaid. With-
in 15 minutes after posting, we
had 50 volunteers.
Schools in many districts
served as evacuation centers, one
reason some districts didnt open
their doors yet. While Lake-Leh-
man High had only about 20 eva-
cuees and was able to resume
classes Monday, Dallas Middle
School hosted about 170 people
seeking refuge from the floods,
and officials opted to postpone
the first day of school until
Wednesday. The district had
planned a late start on Sept. 12 so
the new high school could be
completed.
We hadthe custodians inearly
today and will again tomorrow,
Dallas Superintendent FrankGal-
icki said Monday as the staff
cleaned up the middle school in
preparation of the return of stu-
dents.
Most schools-turned-refuge
had been emptied by Sunday,
though Wilkes-Barre Area Super-
intendent Jeff Namey said there
were still some individuals at
GAR High School, which had
hostedmorethan300evacuees at
the peak of the crisis.
Wilkes-Barre Area had about
150 additional evacuees inthe So-
lomon/Plains building, and
about 100 at Heights/Murray
Elementary, but those centers
had been closed by Sunday.
The district decided to resume
classes Monday because the GAR
center is in the gym, which is eas-
ily segregated from the students.
Wyoming Area delay
The two districts in areas most
deeply inundated reacted differ-
ently to the flooding. Wyoming
Area, which includes heavily hit
West Pittston, opted to close all
schools until Monday, Sept. 19.
Tunkhannock Area in Wyoming
County, where floods inundated
the Mehoopany and Evans-Falls
areas, plans to open today.
Its extensive road damage
that will necessitatealternatebus
routes and bus stops, Tunkhan-
nock Superintendent Michael
Healey said.
The Tunkhannock Area High
School is still hosting about 40
evacuees and will continue to do
soas longas there is a need, Hea-
leysaid. Transportationbecamea
problem for Greater Nanticoke
Area and Northwest Area as well.
Greater Nanticoke opted to open
school Monday but warned on its
website that there would be no
transportations for students liv-
ing in Hunlock Creek, West Nan-
ticoke, Plymouth Mountain, Ply-
mouth Flats area and The Muh-
lenburg Christian Academy.
Most of those kids arent even
staying where they were, Super-
intendent Tony Perrone said.
School principals arescrutinizing
enrollment lists to see which stu-
dents have beendisplaced. I told
the principals were not marking
them absent, Perrone said.
Decision being delayed
Northwest Area is delaying a
decision on reopening schools
until roads and bridges are in-
spected in the rural district, Act-
ing Superintendent Gary Powlus
said.
Weve have our bus contrac-
tors check every route, to see if
roads are passable, Powlus said.
The district has set up a phone
line to provide more information
for students or families with
transportation issues: 542-4126,
ext. 1005.
Hanover Area and Pittston Ar-
ea, where the high schools also
housed evacuees, were in good
enough shape to reopen quickly.
Hanover Area resumed classes
Monday. Pittston Area was set to
start today, with a two-hour de-
lay.
Wyoming Valley West, where
State Street Elementary hosted
about 285 evacuees during the
flooding, plans to open today.
The district kept buildings closed
Monday partly to clean up State
Street after evacuees left, but also
to allow time for staff to return
hightech and valuable items of
irreplaceable files to lower levels.
Muchof it hadbeenmovedtosec-
ond floors as a precaution.
We only have one school thats
not in the flood plain, Superin-
tendent Chuck Suppon said.
Thats State Street.
Officials at all districts said
they should get full reimburse-
ment either from The Red Cross
or from government emergency
relief funds for any foodor suppli-
es used in evacuation centers.
The impact on school calen-
dars is up in the air. All those in-
terviewedsaidtheyarewaitingto
see if the state Department of
Education grants a waiver to the
180-dayschool year inthewakeof
the disaster, something that has
been done in the past. If so, the
districts wont have to make up
any lost day that has been waived
by the state.
Diocese schools
Three Diocese of Scranton
schools were closed. Holy Rosary
in Duryea sustained damage and
closed.
The diocese announed Mon-
daynight that classes will resume
on Sept. 19 at the former St. Ma-
rys Elementary School , 742
Spring St., Avoca. All parents
fromHoly Rosary are invited to a
parent meeting today at 7 p.m. at
Sacred Heart of Jesus Church,
529 Stephenson St., Duryea, the
diocese said.
Good Shepherd Academy in
Kingston and Wyoming Area Ca-
tholicwerecloseduntil thepublic
districts in which they reside reo-
pen. By state law, school districts
provide transportation for non-
public school students in their
district.
In the case of Good Shepherd,
which is in Wyoming Valley West
School District, that means
school begins today. For Wyom-
ing Area Catholic, which sits in
Wyoming Area School District,
school will resume Monday.

lars in damage. He said he has
flood insurance on the proper-
ty, but it doesnt cover the con-
tents of renters.
About $100,000 in hospital
beds, scooters and other equip-
ment was ruined at Flexible
Mobility, also in the Tuft-Tex
building, said owner, Joe Kobi.
He, his workers and family
members used vans to haul out
some merchandise Thursday
morning but had to stop as the
water rapidly approached his
business. He stayed until the
last moment possible, loading
patient files into a van, the wa-
ter rising dangerously high as
he floored it to higher ground.
But Kobi didnt stop there.
He and workers hitched a boat
back to the business and lifted
merchandise up the business-
es spiral staircase to the sec-
ond floor, where it appeared to
be untouched.
Kobi is now running the
business from his home and
looking for a temporary site for
his showroom.
Businesses take hit
Several other businesses in
that stretch of River Street sus-
tained extensive flood dam-
age, including the River Road
Self Service Car Wash, Curry
Donuts, the Sunoco and Plains
Food Store, the Auto Lodge
Sales and Service, Randys
Southern Barbeque, the Birch-
wood Garden Center and Solo-
veys Service.
The foundation of Andys
Family Restaurant was washed
out.
The Rydzewski family lost
everything in the Academy of
Golf Center, though the water
didnt reach their second floor
dwelling.
My dads shop is de-
stroyed, said Jessica Rydzew-
ski as she picked through the
flood carnage hauled out of the
business. She was trying to dry
newspaper clippings, photos
and scrapbook pages in the
sun.
Im trying to salvage some
sentimentals from my high
school golf career, she said as
her brother, Nick, paused from
his clean-up work to see if she
was having any success.
Chris Mays family members
tried to polish mud-caked
tools and parts from his busi-
ness, the Lawn Doctor. He
raised everything in the busi-
ness at least 60 inches on
shelves, but the water even re-
ached fertilizer placed 10 feet
high.
The building never had more
than 28 inches of water, so he
thought hed be in the clear.
Insurance will cover some,
but not all, May said.

as she fought back tears. You
think youre all right until you
sit down, and then you fall
apart.
Kresge has been hit by small-
er floods before and has reco-
vered. Can she do it again?
I dont want to. I love my
house. I hate the thoughts of
having to leave it. But at this
point, Im going to have to, I
guess. Well see, she said.
Kresge, too, thinks Shickshin-
ny deserves a levee. She and
other residents feel slighted, ig-
nored, even in TV news cover-
age, Kresge said. You never see
anything much about Shickshin-
ny. Its like we dont exist.
Morris, the fire chief, said he
and other officials began assess-
ing the damage on Monday.
Normally that happens a lot
quicker because the fire hall and
the borough building arent af-
fected, Morris said. But both
took on 4 to 6 feet of water.
The borough set up an emer-
gency command center a few
lots up from the fire hall on
West Union Street in the garage
of Bob McDaniels. American
Red Cross representatives made
their first appearance in Shick-
shinny on Monday. Everything
we got up to this point has been
private donations. Shickshinny
area takes care of Shickshinny
when it comes to something
like this, Morris said.
Holly Morris, fire company
president, said there would be
food and supplies at the com-
mand center and the Methodist
church on South Main Street.
Mayor Moore, a nurse at Ber-
wick Hospital, said she expect-
ed a tetanus clinic would be set
up in the borough this week.
As far as relief in the form of a
levee, Moore said she doubts
Shickshinny will ever see one. I
honestly think they would buy
out the town before they would
put a dike down here, she said.

J
oseph Michael Haberski, 58,
Walkersville, Md., passed away
suddenly on Thursday, September
8, 2011, in his home.
Born April 2, 1953 in Wilkes-
Barre and raised in the George-
town section of Wilkes-Barre
Township, he was a son of the late
Stanley and Grace Walsh Haber-
ski.
Joe was a 1971 graduate of
Wilkes-Barre Area School District
and attended Wilkes College.
Joe moved to Maryland 35 years
ago and worked as a talented
heavy-equipment diesel mechanic
his entire career.
He held certification frommany
heavy-equipment training centers
including Terex, Howard County
Vocational Technical School, and
General Motors.
Joe was an avid NASCAR fan
and his favorite driver was Dale
Earnhardt Sr. He was most proud
to have been on an exclusive list of
invitees to attend the Dale Earn-

C o nfidentia lO ffers
Some might think the horror
experienced by those who lived
within sight of the World Trade
Center onSept. 11, 2001, wouldbe
motivation enough to move
somewhere farther away, some-
place safer.
Aquick glance at migration da-
ta certainly might suggest just
that.
More than 10,000 New Yorkers
moved to Luzerne County be-
tween1990and2008, nearlythree
quarters of them between 2001
and2008, accordingtoa report by
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton-based
Institute for Public Policy and Ec-
onomic Development.
Over the same 18-year period,
nearly9,200NewJerseyresidents
moved to Lu-
zerne County,
and 61 percent
of them came
here between
2000 and 2008,
the report
states.
Some former
New York resi-
dents inter-
viewed over the
last several
years have told
Times Leader
reporters that
9/11 was a fac-
tor in their deci-
sion to move to
Luzerne County. Many others
pointed to other factors.
Teri Ooms, executive director
of the institute, believes it was
those other factors that brought
people here.
What we believe caused the
movement was not 9/11, but
more what the institute calls the
westward migration, Ooms said
in a recent interview.
Ooms concedes there is no spe-
cific research into reasons for the
migration of which she is aware.
But a closer look at the migration
trends suggests that it was really
the cost of living that drove New
Yorkers and NewJersey residents
to uproot and move west, she
said.
People started leaving New
York in the early 90s and moving
to New Jersey. The impetus was
the cost of living specifically
housing, Ooms said.
But then as housing prices be-
gan to rise in New Jersey, both
New York and New Jersey resi-
dents began moving to the outer
rings of Pennsylvania the Poco-
nos in the late 1990s and early
2000s, Ooms said.
By 2002, those outer rings ex-
pandedandmoreof Northeastern
Pennsylvaniabecamehometothe
migrating Easterners through
2008.
Then the recession hit. And
whilemigrationherewas still pos-
itive, it was not as great, Ooms
said.
Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties are now on that outer
rim of migration that Ooms
doesnt expect to extend much if
any farther west, given the two-
hour or longer commute for peo-
ple who live here but still work in
New York or New Jersey.
Ooms said data from the Inter-
nal Revenue Service shows that
those migrating here were mostly
fromtwo economic classes low-
to moderate-income people who
usuallyrent homes andmiddle- to
upper middle-income earners,
who can buy homes here in the
$300,000 range that would sell in
New York and New Jersey for $1
million or more.
Those who rent usually end up
taking jobs here in the retail and
manufacturing industries. But for
the higher-income migrants,
Ooms said, the area is seeing
sales leakage.
There are folks here who con-
tinue to commute and earn very
good wages there, Ooms said,
but buying gasoline and food on
their journey to and from work
takes money from Northeastern
Pennsylvanias economy. They
alsodont have the free time toen-
gage in the community because
theyre spending 12, 14, 16 hours
between work and their com-
mute.
One of the goals of the institute
is toprovide data that will helpar-
ea economic and educational
leaders develop strategies to pro-
motethecreationof better-paying
jobs that will attract those former
out-of-state residents to work lo-
cally. Over time, the commute
will get tiring, sopeople are going
to look for work closer to home,
she said.
Ooms saidsheandothers at the
institute were excited last year af-
ter completing their reports on
the migration trends.
From the moment the insti-
tute opened (in 2004), there had
just been talk about people leav-
ing the area. Why stay here? Its a
dying region, people would say. I
didnt think it was so. This area
has weathered a lot of storms
the decline of coal, the decline of
textiles. So its definitely been a
region that has been able to sus-
tain itself. We didnt think the
region was shrinking and we set
out to prove it, Ooms said.
The migration data from the
IRSas well as 2010Census figures
gave Ooms and her staff the proof
they were looking for.
There are more people migrat-
ing in than leaving. Even when
factoring in birth rate and death
rate, migration is more impor-
tant. Webelievedthereweremore
peoplemigratinginthanout andI
think we proved it, Ooms said.
County gets migration boost
Data show other factors more
responsible for N.Y. and N.J.
resident moves than 9/11.

NEW YORK The sun cast
its light on the glistening water-
falls and metal surfaces of the 9/
11 Memorial, which opened for
the first time to the public Mon-
day a permanent tribute to
the nearly 3,000 people killed
one decade and a day ago.
Under tight security, a long
line of visitors of a diverse range
of ages andnationalities, manyof
them children, filed in to shake
hands withNewYorkCityMayor
Michael Bloomberg, memorial
president Joe Daniels, Council
Speaker Christine Quinn and
other officials.
Memorial officials said vis-
itors who reserved passes Mon-
day represented 46 of the United
States and 30 countries.
I love it, saidJelena Watkins,
who, accompanied by her hus-
band, her parents and her two
young children, was the first per-
son into the memorial Monday.
Watkins had come fromLondon.
Her brother, Vladimir Pomasev-
ic, was killed at the World Trade
Center.
It was a huge relief to see that
its actually beautiful, she said.
Its the right feel. Its just so
right. Its so spacious.
Another visitor, Eileen Cristi-
na, 64, of Lititz, Pa., said she had
volunteered in the aftermath of
the 9/11 attacks, working as a
massage therapist for workers at
the Fresh Kills landfill site on
Staten Island.
She had first seen the memo-
rial fromthe windowof her hotel
room and said: There are no
words ... I just said, I cant be-
lieve it. The enormity of the loss
was veryevident all over again. ...
The enormity of the loss, the
enormityof humankindness, the
enormity of the suffering.
Before the official opening,
Anthoula Katsimatides, wholost
her 31-year-oldbrother at ground
zero on Sept. 11, 2001, said the
soundof thewaterfall dulledthat
of the active construction sites
that surround the memorial
and called seeing it emotional.
Hearing it. Being able to
touch it. Seeing it
dance in the wind,
said Katsimatides,
an actress who
served as the liaison
to the family mem-
bers of those killed
in the1993 and 2001
attacks on the Trade
Center. Water is a
life-giving element.
Andseeingit insuch
massive quantities is emotion-
al.
The nationgot its first glimpse
of the memorial Sunday, as cere-
monies from the site of the top-
pled World Trade Center towers
gave the world a look at those
names etched into the bronze.
The memorial features 2,983
names of those lost in the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks on the Twin
Towers, the Pentagon and the
crash of United Flight 93 near
Shanksville, Pa., as well as those
of the six victims killed in the
World Trade Center bombing of
Feb. 23, 1993.
Yesterday (Sunday) was an
emotionally charged day, said
Michael Arad, architect of the 9/
11memorial. Today, were start-
ing to bring the site back to the
life of New York.
Preparing for that opening,
Christine Corday, 40, a Manhat-
tan artist, wiped down the
bronze parapets noting how,
over time, the oil fromthe hands
of visitors will actually change
the color of the memorial, leav-
ing a lasting imprint.
Certainly, the memorial has al-
ready become a fixture and,
focal point of bustling lower
Manhattan. Official signs direct-
ing visitors tothe memorial have
been placed in nearby subway
stations, an arrow pointing the
way to the site.
For all those years there was
nothing there, nowtheres some-
thing that people can go to and
see and visit fromaround the na-
tion and world, said David By-
rne, of Atlanta, who
grewup in Fairfield,
N.J., and lost his
firefighter cousin,
Andrew Desperito,
44, of East Patch-
ogue, N.Y., in the at-
tacks.
Katsimatides,
who has served on
the memorials
board of directors,
said being at the memorial made
her feel overcome with emo-
tion.
Its soemotional that its final-
ly open, she said.
Officials have said more than
400,000 people have already
made reservations to tour the
memorial and museum.
Visitors to the memorial must
make reservations for advance
passes, either online at
www.911memorial.orgor bycall-
ing 212-266-5200. Access to the
memorial is free, but visitors are
urged to make a donation to de-
velop and sustain the National
September11Memorial andMu-
seum, the website said.
Groups of 10 or more should
call 212-266-5200 or email

Cristina said the entire experi-
ence taught her one thing.
There is really nothing stron-
ger than the goodness of our fel-
low human beings, she said. A
fewbad people cannot outweigh
that goodness.

NANTICOKE A Loomis
Street resident is questioning
why the J.P. Mascaro recycling
center on East Main Street failed
to take action to prevent recycla-
bles fromescaping fromthe facil-
ity after it was hit by flooding on
Thursday.
John Bienick said he and other
neighbors are upset that Mascaro
left the front gate of the facility
open during the flood, which al-
lowed recyclables, including
plastic jugs and bottles, to float
away and accumulate along sec-
tions of their street.
It seems to be negligence,
Bienick said. They left the gates
open and the recyclables floated
out and are strewn all over the
place.
Areporter who toured the area
Monday saw a small number of
bottles and jugs deposited along
the rail road tracks. The worst ar-
ea was an embankment near the
entrance of Loomis Street off the
Sans Souci Parkway, which had
several dozens bottles and jugs.
Mike Mascaro, director of op-
erations for the facility, saidMon-
day said he was unaware that the
gate had been left open during
the flood. Workers were dis-
patched to clean up the area in
question.
Mascaro said flooding caught
thefacility, whichaccepts onlyre-
cyclables, by surprise as it was
not impacted by flooding that oc-
curred in 2006. The water came
up fast, leaving workers little
time to react.
I had drivers who hardly got
backintimetoget their cars out,
he said. People were fending for
their lives, trying to get home to
their families.
Mascaro said he believes Bien-
ick was making too much out of
the situation, given the devasta-
tionexperiencedby homeowners
and businesses, including his
company.
He estimated the facility sus-
tained about $1 million in dam-
agecausedbytheflooding. Seven
garbage trucks, which were
parkedfor repairs, are a total loss,
he said. He said the maintenance
area got 4 feet of water andis also
a total loss.
You have a tragedy here, and
he wants to make a drama out of
it, Mascaro said.
Bienick said the company
knows it is in the flood plain and
should have had a better contin-
gency plan in place.
Why didnt they have a flood
preparedness plan? he said.
Mascaro employees were pick-
ing up the recyclables they could
see, but Bienick said hes con-
cerned about others that are in
the woods.

through a hazard mitigation
program. He believes the raised
Wyoming Valley Levee on the
Susquehanna River caused
more water to back up into his
community.
We could deal with cellar
flooding, but not this, said his
wife, Marion.
The Cerneras had moved
most of their first-floor furniture
and appliances to the curb by
Monday morning and were cut-
ting up the rugs. Their floating
refrigerator and dryer banged
up against the drop ceiling,
causing more damage.
I just feel like forgetting
about it and going. Were not
spring chickens, me and him,
she said, notingthat her sonand
his friends took the day off of
work to help them.
Milazzo Industries
Floodwaters plowed through
Milazzo Industries on River
Road, which makes Qik Joe Ice
Melt. The water damaged sup-
plies andequipment inthe main
office, manufacturing facility,
product storage area and ga-
rage. Several residential rental
properties at the complex were
also flooded.
Its devastating, said one of
the companys family members,
Tom Allardyce.
The roughly 24 employees of
the family-ownedbusiness were
busy hauling out damaged
items.
This is the companys busy
time producing Qik Joe, said
company controller, Paul Hind-
marsh. The company will assess
the damage and come up with a
recovery plan to resume oper-
JENKINS TWP. -- While
many other Susquehanna River
flood victims were busy lugging
everythingwet out of their prop-
erties Monday morning, a tiny
neighborhood in Jenkins Town-
ship was still underwater.
About a dozen homes in the
Miller Street section known as
the patch were still immersed
in Susquehanna River water be-
cause the neighborhood is
shaped like a bowl and doesnt
easily drain. Emergency crews
were furiously operating pumps
and hoses to shoot the water
back to the river Monday.
Miller Street resident Chris
Fritz stood on a bank above the
neighborhood watching the
pumping.
Instead of calling it the
patch, they should call it the ba-
sin, Fritz said. He was trying to
force himself into a jovial mood,
saying he can offer a package
deal on the giant propane tank,
wood pallets and boat dock that
the flood deposited in his yard.
The rental property he owns
was beyond repair. He walked
along the elevated railroad
tracks that runpast the property
to find the home off its founda-
tion and in a mangled state. He
said he did not have flood insur-
ance.
He was eager to get into prop-
erties owned by his grandmoth-
er and father to assess the dam-
age because both had second-
floor flooding. He was thankful
hewas abletotakeacanoetohis
grandmothers home Saturday
to rescue her cat.
Miller Street resident Mary
AnnYatko embracedFritz when
she spotted him, wiping the
tears from her eyes.
It was a cute little house,
she said of her property, which
still had water on the first floor
Monday. She had moved her be-
longings to the second floor,
which was also flooded.
Changing topography
Yatko said she bought the
Miller Street property about six
years agobut has struggledwith
basement floodingwhenit rains
since nearby culm banks were
removed, changing the topogra-
phy. She has three pumps in her
basement.
Its an amazing neighbor-
hood. You can leave your doors
open. Everybody watches out
for one another, Yatko said.
A section of nearby River
Road was also blocked off in the
township Monday as residents
cleared out debris.
Pittston Township resident
Ron Panuski and his son, Mi-
chael, a Pittston Area High
School senior, were at a River
Road property Monday morn-
ing helping a friend.
Panuski brought a generator
and pressure washers to the
home of Jason Herron, which
had about 6 feet of water on the
first floor. Panuski and his son
spent Sunday helping another
friend in Duryea.
Herron said he bought the
home in 2007 and was told by
the sellers that only the base-
ment had flooded in the past.
He has flood insurance on the
structure but was informed that
it wont cover the drywall that
must be replaced on the entire
first floor. He spent Sunday
hauling almost all the contents
of the first floor to the curb. He
ripped up the soggy carpets and
discovered the floors beneath
had already started to bow.
I dont ever want to go
through this again, he said.
Herrons wife, Trish, and two
childrenare staying at the home
of his cousin, Bill Horrocks, who
was helping with the cleanup.
Trish is really upset because
a lot of these things belonged to
her grandmother, who passed
away, Horrocks said.
River Road resident Joe Cer-
nera said he has lived in his
home for 60 years, and this was
the most severe flooding to hit
his property, withabout 8feet of
water on the first floor.
Cernera said he has begged
township and Luzerne County
officials to buy his property
ations, he said.
I want people to know that
we will be back to business,
said company family member
Nadine Milazzo Wesolowski.
Milazzo plant manager Louis
Degnan said the flood formed
an eddy, or circular current,
around the Milazzo property
that knocked out a garage and
the foundation of two houses on
the property.
Every time it came around, it
picked up more of our stuff, he
said. It wasnt the flow of the
river. It was the backwater that
came around.
Peter Mangione, owner of
Mangiones Service Station on
River Road, struggled to force
open the warped wood door to
his business andfounda mess of
parts and equipment. He didnt
know when he would reopen
and was in the process of work-
ing with his flood insurance ad-
justors.
Pittston battered
In neighboring Pittston, the
CVS Pharmacy on Kennedy
Boulevard remained closed
from flooding Monday.
Coopers Seafood House sus-
tained basement flooding, but
the owners and workers ran sev-
eral pumps to keep the water
fromrising to the first floor. The
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture was at the business
Monday and gave approval for it
to reopen, said owners Angela
and Jack Cooper.
The Coopers were not sure
when they would reopen.
Were sleep deprived, but we
were very lucky, Angela Coop-
er said.

Plea for flooding help
gets speedy response
I
volunteered with the American Red
Cross on Thursday, the day of the Val-
leys mandatory flood evacuation, at the
Luzerne County Community College shel-
ter. Because many people there volun-
teers included werent familiar with
Nanticoke, I began to place calls to area
businesses, restaurants, hospitals and
churches, asking for donations of food.
Father James Nash, of St. Faustinas
Roman Catholic Church, and the Rev. Tim
Hall, of Nebo Baptist Church, responded
immediately. Their congregants respon-
ded, too. It was a wonderful and holy thing
to see.
When contacting the Nanticoke Pizza
Bella, I didnt even ask for donations. I
called only to see if it would deliver, if
evacuees could afford a pizza. The next
thing I saw, boxes of pizza were on the
lunch counter that had been totally empty.
I stayed only four hours, so Im sure this
is not a full list of churches and businesses
that rapidly responded. The point is that in
emergencies, immediate response is the
kind that grabs your heart.
As written in 2 Corinthians 1:4, (God)
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that
we may be able to comfort them which are
in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith
we ourselves are comforted of God.
I think you can measure the quality of
charity by its speed, and St. Faustinas,
Nebo Baptist and Pizza Bella must have
been given A+ grades by heaven on Thurs-
day.

K
FOR THOSE of us who lived
through the Agnes flood of
1972, Thursday provided a
sickening sense of dj vu.
Days and days of rain sat-
urated the ground in advance
of a hurricane pulling mois-
ture from the Gulf of Mexico, which dumped
even more rainfall. Small streams became
raging torrents, and the Susquehanna River
rose rapidly.
As the Wyoming Valley faced catastrophe
last week, unlike in 1972, the federal govern-
ment is now a full partner with local emergen-
cy officials. It is worth noting how the federal
government helped us avoid a great deal more
loss of life and property, and how it will con-
tinue to help in the aftermath of unpreceden-
ted flooding. It is especially timely to consider
the value of these government services as we
are engaged in a national debate about gov-
ernment spending and reducing the federal
deficit.
The National Weather Service predicted the
effect of rainfall in the entire Susquehanna
River Basin for our local emergency officials,
giving them time to evacuate those areas at
greatest risk. When the Weather Service pre-
dicted that the river would rise to close to the
level of protection afforded by the levee sys-
tem, officials wisely ordered the evacuation of
the levee-protected areas. Because of the
advance notice provided by the National
Weather Service, many residents had the time
to move their belongings out of harms way
before evacuating in an orderly manner.
In 2002, the Army Corps of Engineers com-
pleted strengthening the levee system that
protects much of the Wyoming Valley (at a
cost of more than $200 million). The levee did
its job beautifully. Potential weak spots were
discovered and corrected quickly by the corps
and county officials working together.
The Federal Emergency Management Agen-
cy arrived in advance of the storm with suppli-
es. The agency also provided solace to those
homeowners who took advantage of its flood
insurance program that they would recover
some of the costs of their property damage,
which is rarely covered by private homeown-
ers insurance. In the weeks and months after
the floodwaters have receded, FEMA also will
provide assistance to area officials faced with
reconstructing millions of dollars of public
infrastructure.
Although the federal government is our
partner, the partnership is not designed to
provide total compensation for the damages
suffered by this devastating flood. Before we
forget the devastation we just experienced, we
should take advantage of the programs offered
by the federal government to strengthen our
homes and communities against future disas-
ters. Under its hazard mitigation program,
FEMA provides grants to homeowners living
in flood plains to sell their homes or raise
their homes to a higher elevation.
The Army Corps of Engineers provides
structural flood protection to entire communi-
ties, but projects such as the Wyoming Valley
Levee System are undertaken only when they
can be done in a cost-effective manner. The
corps is required to conduct a benefit/cost
analysis before constructing any new flood-
protection project; there must be more than
one dollar of benefit for every dollar expend-
ed. Unfortunately, in some communities the
cost of protecting the structures in the flood
plain does not justify the cost of constructing
levees. As the federal budget continues to
shrink, the corps will have fewer resources for
new projects.
Your federal tax dollars pay for the oper-
ations of the National Weather Service, the
Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Had we not
spent hundreds of millions of federal dollars
on monitoring the river, building a levee and
subsidizing flood insurance premiums, the
people of Northeastern and Central Penn-
sylvania would be spending tens of billions to
clean up and rebuild from this devastating
flood.
Clearly the funds that helped our region
prepare for the unprecedented rainfall we
endured were wisely spent.
Getting the federal budget under control for
the first time since President Clinton left
office is an important priority for the country.
But when you hear politicians calling for cuts
in spending, remember how that spending
will affect you. Remember the National
Weather Service, the Army Corps of Engi-
neers and FEMA.
Paul E. Kanjorski, of Nanticoke, is a former U.S.
congressman who represented the 11th District,
which includes parts of Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties and all of three contiguous counties.

Your federal tax dollars pay for the

Service, the Army Corps of Engineers and

Agency.
F
INALLY, President
Obama is talking about
the jobs crisis with the
urgency it deserves, al-
though his plan to address it,
whilebolder thanexpected, falls
short of whats needed.
Of course, there is no bill yet,
just the outlines of legislation
that would put $450 billion into
the economy.
As outlined by the White
House, it was heavy on tax cuts.
The Social Security payroll tax,
reduced from 6.2 percent of in-
come to 4.2 percent last year,
would go down further, to 3.1
percent, meaning an extra
$1,500 per year for a worker
making$50,000. Employersalso
wouldget taxcredits tohirenew
employees, especially those
who have been unemployed for
more than six months.
The bill, if passed, would ex-
tend unemployment benefits
and spend $25 billion to mod-
ernize at least 35,000 public
schools. It includes$35billionto
save the jobs of at least 280,000
teachers while hiring more. And
the bill finally would get going
ontheinfrastructurebank that
the administration has been
talking about for years, provid-
ing $10 billion in seed money to
leverage private investment.
Many economists say Oba-
masjobsplanisnt bigenoughto
cure our economic morass, but
its better than nothing.
So we urge President Obama
to make good on his threat to
take his message to every cor-
ner of this country. The voters
might start to notice who wants
to do something about jobs and
who doesnt.

HANK YOU.
If you reacted to the
Wyoming Valleys
flood emergency with
grace and goodness, thank you.
If you arrived from a distant
state or from across the street
as part of an American Red
Cross disaster relief team and
tended to people at an evacua-
tion center, thank you. If you
called over the backyard fence
to check on a neighbor, thank
you.
Our gratitude gushes this
week in ways unmatched by a
raging river. We, like many of
our readers in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, are counting our
blessings even amid a heart-
wrenching and for many resi-
dents, life-altering natural di-
saster.
We are grateful it was not
worse; and in those places
where homes have been devas-
tated in block after block, we
are grateful that so many lives
were spared. We are grateful
that the people facedwithmon-
umental losses are being
helpedbypeoplewithseeming-
ly limitless kindness.
The one and perhaps the
only good thing to emerge
fromthe wreckage spawned by
the tropical storm-aided flood-
ing of September 2011 is this:
We again have witnessed the
greatness of which people are
capable when guided by collab-
oration and compassion.
We saw it in the faces of fa-
tigued but unflappable emer-
gency management agency
workers. Wecaught glimpses of
it as rescuers danglingfromhel-
icopters andboats pluckedhap-
less victims from the current.
We sense it daily, each time we
get a newreport of a gallant act
or selfless giving.
We knowthe names of only a
fraction of the heroes of this ca-
lamity. We thank each of you
who played a role, major or mi-
nor.
We thank the meteorologists
who issued warnings, the may-
ors who planned appropriately,
the military personnel who re-

WEST PITTSTON Michelle
Valdez came to the West Pittston
Borough Building on Monday to
ask about help to recover from
flood damage. But at least one re-
sponse she got was wrong and
the application she hoped to file
was not available.
Valdez and many others want-
ed to find out how to apply for
funding to help pay for the losses
that the Susquehanna River
flood waters caused to their
homes, businesses and proper-
ties.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Ha-
zleton, established several con-
stituent recovery centers plac-
es where his staff members will
help people who have questions
with the federal disaster assist-
ance procedures. One is at the
borough building here.
I heard Barletta say on the ra-
dio that we can come here for ap-
plications for federal aid, Valdez
said.
Those forms were not availa-
ble Monday.
Two Barletta staffers Megan
G. Perez from his Washington,
D.C., office, and Marisa Semen-
za, a caseworker from the Taylor
Borough district office were on
hand to assist flood victims. Pe-
rez and Semenza told them that
President Barack Obama had de-
clared Pennsylvania a disaster ar-
ea and federal funding would be
forthcoming.
As of late Monday, the presi-
dent had not made such a decla-
ration, though it is expected.
Our people might have mis-
understood some of the informa-
tion they were provided, said
Shawn Kelly, Barlettas commu-
nications director.
Kelly said the congressman
was inWest Pittstonlate Monday
touring the flood-ravaged town
with Mayor Tony Denisco to as-
sess the extensive damage there.
The scale of this disaster is
unprecedented, and it can be
frustrating and confusing, Bar-
letta said. Rest assured that my
office is going to be here to help
you, every step of the way. I
will do everything I can and I will
fight to make sure the people re-
ceive the help they clearly de-
serve.
Valdez lives on Wyoming Ave-
nue with her fianc and their
three children. She said the
flooding has placed a lot of stress
on her and her family.
We didnt have time to move
anything, she said. Weve been
cleaning out our home for the
last two days. We werent expect-
ingtoget any water were not in
the flood zone.
Valdez said her neighborhood
was issued a mandatory evacua-
tion notice Thursday night.
We should have levees here
like they doinWilkes-Barre, Val-
dez said, becoming emotional.
But we dont have thembecause
somepeoplewanteda viewof the
river. Their view cost us our
homes.
Valdez said she couldnt qual-
ify for flood insurance because
she doesnt live in the flood zone.
She said her renters insurance
policy doesnt cover flooding.
Were all here just looking for
some help, she said.
Perez and Semenza said peo-
ple came with a lot of questions.
They advised flood victims to
take pictures of their damaged
property and compile a detailed
list of everything lost. They said
FEMA and PEMA teams will be
in the area later this week to be-
gin assessments.
Doris Sorick of Park Street re-
placed her furnace three weeks
ago. Her basement, with the fur-
nace, received5feet of water. She
also lost a freezer and a refriger-
ator and her husband, Joseph,
lost his prized NASCAR memor-
abilia collection.
We didnt get water in 1972,
Sorick said. Weve lived there
for 43years. I tooka lot of photos.
I have my list. Now we wait for
help.
Marisa Semenza and Megan C. Perez of U.S. Rep. Lou Barlettas
office advise flood victims looking for information Monday at the
West Pittston Borough Building.

centers hit hurdles

1972.
It should be mandated, said
Francesca Carannante, of Anto-
nios Pizza on Wyoming Avenue.
We need protection. Who cares
about a river view? Look around
the river is right here and its
not a nice view.
Jim Brozena, executive direc-
tor of the Luzerne County Flood
Protection Authority, was the
county engineer during the deci-
sion-making process with the
U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers on
the proposed improvements to
the levee system.
I cantell youthat the decision
to not build new levees in West
Pittston and other areas was not
because some of the residents
there wanted to keep their view
of the river, Brozena said. The
mitigation process was exten-
sive and the Army Corps ulti-
mately decided to raise the levee
and not add on.
Brozenas home flooded
Brozena is also a flood victim.
The water filled the basement at
his home in West Pittston, com-
ing within one inch of his first
floor. His heatingsystem, electri-
cal system, air conditioning, wa-
ter heater and more were dam-
aged.
Back in1991or so, we needed
to come up with a plan that was
most equitable to all, Brozena
said. My answer today would
probably be much different. But
it never made financial sense to
build levees in West Pittston.
Brozena will get an argument
onthat point today as people like
Carannante and others work to
gut their properties and begin
the long road to recovery. Anto-
nios had 2 feet of water in 1972;
the water level hit nearly 7 feet
this time.
Weve lost everything here,
Carannante, 28, said. Thankful-
ly, we have a second location at
353 Wyoming Ave. so we can
have some income.
She praised the efforts of her
neighbors who are coming to-
gether to rebuild and continue.
But if we dont get some pro-
tection, people will start tomove
out, Carannante said. You
dont want to lose an entire town
because of a river view.
Mike LaNunziata and his fa-
ther own all the buildings in the
blockbetweenWyomingAvenue
and Linden Street. His buildings
receivedas muchas10feet of wa-
ter.
I guess a levee would have
saved all of us, LaNunziata, 52,
said. One thing for sure, were
not alone. I heard that houses
got washed off their foundations
in Bloomsburg.
LaNunziata, owner of Crest
Cleaner, said he, his family,
workers and volunteers are
cleaning out the buildings they
own. He said he is preparing an
itemized list to give to FEMA
and PEMA. He has taken photos
of the damage and kept all re-
ceipts.
Somebody came by and said
they found a wedding dress in
one of our boxes seven blocks
away, he said. This is unbeliev-
able.
Just down the street, Joe Ago-
lino was sitting infront of his res-
taurant puffing on a cigar, taking
a break from cleaning out his
building. Agolino, 66, runs the
popular restaurant that his fa-
ther openedin1962. He has been
through floods before; in1972 he
had 4
1
2 feet of water and now he
had more than 10 feet.
I had a feeling this might hap-
pen, he said. If they put up a
levee like the one down in Forty
Fort where people could walk
and use it as a recreational spot,
whats wrong with that?
Agolino said he wanted to
thank the Wyoming Area foot-
ball team and coaching staff for
coming down and helping re-
move all the debris from his
building.
I think everybody is doing a
great job helping out the flood
victims, he said.
Agolino owns Pazzos on
Route 315 outside Pittston, and
he said lunch will be served
there starting Monday, Sept. 19,
from11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Brozena said that before the
$150 million levee-raising pro-
ject was finalized, the Army
Corps did look at constructing
dikes alongthe river inWest Pitt-
ston, Jenkins Township (Port
Blanchard) and Plains Town-
ship. He said the estimated pro-
ject in 1991 was about $70 mil-
lion and the Corps ultimately de-
cided during the mitigation
process not to go for that option.
The levee system was ulti-
mately raised from 36 feet to 41
feet, and that project, Brozena
said, saved between $3 billion
and $4 billion in potential dam-
age had the project not been
completed.
Former West Pittston Mayor
Bill Goldsworthy, who now
works for Gov. TomCorbett, said
he favoredbuildingdikes inWest
Pittston in 1991 and he remains
in favor of a project now. Golds-
worthys Montgomery Avenue
home receivedupto5feet onthe
first floor.
The reason for not doing the
project, we were told, was that it
would cost too much money to
build and wouldnt save enough
property value, Goldsworthy
said. Many residents along Sus-
quehanna Avenue and other
streets near the river were
against building the levee be-
cause they wanted to keep the
aesthetic valueof theriver view.
Questions raised
Goldsworthy said he didnt re-
ceive water at his house in 1972
and he wants to know why he
and other West Pittston resi-
dents got so much water this
time.
Is it because they raised the
levees downstream? Goldswor-
thy asked. Was it because of the
new Eighth Street Bridge that
created a damming effect? We
deserve those answers.
People working Monday were
wearing surgical masks and rub-
ber gloves. Their feet were cov-
ered with mud, and the stench of
the river was ever-present.
Bobby OConnell lives at 302
Wyoming Ave., next to Anto-
nios. He and his wife, Sharon,
have a Down syndrome son, Ian,
who has special needs. OCon-
nell said they started to move
furniture and other items to
higher ground, but the water
came up so fast they had to evac-
uate.
I think its terrible that there
arent any levees here, OCon-
nell said. I cant understand it. I
really cant believe it; it doesnt
make any sense.
FIGHT
Workers gut Antonios Pizza at Wyoming Avenue and Luzerne Avenue in West Pittston. The res-
taurant was swamped by the Susquehanna last week.

Vice President Joe Biden is
expected to visit Northeastern
Pennsylvania on Friday to
assess flood damage in the
region, sources said.
Biden, a native of Scranton,
will visit the greater Pittston
area as part of his tour,
sources said, adding details
are still being worked out
regarding the itinerary.
As of right now, Vice
President Biden will be here
Friday, one source said.
Schedules could change.
Residents and property
owners in the region that have
incurred damage from the
recent flooding are hopeful
that President Barack Obama
will declare Pennsylvania a
disaster area. If that happens,
federal funding would be
available to help the victims.
devastation.
If thepresident approvesthedi-
saster declaration request, Sweet
said FEMAwill bring in a mobile
disaster recovery unit and begin
meeting with affected property
owners and residents.
Insteadof waiting for the presi-
dential pen to be used, everyone
should operate as if the declara-
tion will be made, Sweet said.
Start the cleanup process as
soon as you can. Dont wait,
Sweet added.
And, Bekanich said, the clea-
nup procedure should run con-
currently with the documenta-
tion and reporting process.
That process should work like
this:
Residents report damages to
their municipal emergency man-
agement coordinators who in
turn feed the information to
county EMA staff. They compile
the data and send it to the Penn-
sylvania Emergency Manage-
ment Agency, which will then re-
port to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency office in
Philadelphia. The information
will be reviewed there and if rec-
ommended for approval, will be
forwarded to FEMA headquar-
ters in Washington where it will
be reviewed once more. The di-
saster request will thenbe denied
or recommended for approval by
the president.
Pennsylvanias damage thresh-
old for federal assistance is $16.5
million. That issuretobereached
in just two or three counties, and
Gov. TomCorbett declared emer-
gencies in 42 counties. The
threshold for Luzerne County
alone is $1,049,402, and its
$92,463 in Wyoming County.
Though damage data are still
being compiled millions of dol-
lars in damage to hundreds of
structures -- Bekanich sent a re-
quest to the governor Sunday
night with a strong belief the
county was safely above the
threshold.
Apresidential disaster declara-
tion could result in millions of
funds beingallocatedfor areas hit
hardest by the flooding to help
cover repairs not covered by in-
surance, such as medical costs,
clothing, temporary housing and
cleanup materials. Materials and
equipment purchased before the
declaration is signed would be
covered, if they are documented.
Sweet said anyone buying
bleach, masks, mops, garbage
bags and other clean-up items
shouldsavetheir receiptstobefil-
ed with their claim.
Home and business owners al-
somaybeeligiblefor low-interest
loans to cover some repairs or re-
placements.
Tabulatingtheexpenses canbe
tedious, but vital if residentswant
to get reimbursed.
Its very important for resi-
dents to file preliminary damage
reports as soon as possible with
their local governments, said
Pennsylvania Emergency Man-
agement Agency Director Glenn
Cannon. Local, county, stateand
federal staffers will conduct pre-
liminary damage assessments
but its not possiblefor themtoin-
spect every damaged property.
Homeowners, renters, and
business owners should docu-
ment damage with photographs
and detailed information on the
losses they have sustained, Can-
non said. He added even those
who dont anticipate asking for
federal assistance should provide
information, as it couldhelplocal
communities get money.
People with flood insurance
shouldcall their insuranceagents
or the National Flood Insurance
Program at 1-800-427-4661.
Documentation is even more
important for those without in-
surance to ensure they get ade-
quate financial help.
Without a major disaster dec-
laration, the federal government
and FEMA can only assist the
state on meeting the highest pri-
ority emergency needs, Sweet
said. Examples include providing
generators for critical infrastruc-
ture such as hospitals and key
government offices, but not for
individual homes or businesses,
and providing water and food to
nonprofit agencies such as the
Red Cross to distribute as need-
ed.
A major disaster declaration
for individual assistance is grant-
ed by the Obama administration
would allow FEMA to provide
housing assistance to homeown-
ers and renters, as well as emer-
gencygrants andlow-interest fed-
eral loans, he said.
The priority is to help people
who have beenpushedfromtheir
homes by flooding maintain as
much normalcy as possible, and
that means trying to place them
in houses or apartments. Mobile
homes are provided if no other
housing is available in the area,
Sweet said.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scran-
ton, sent a letter to President
Obama onMonday urging himto
quickly approve Pennsylvanias
request for amajor disaster decla-
ration.
Tropical StormLee has result-
ed in the deaths of 13 Pennsylva-
nians and is the worst flooding in
the regionsince Hurricane Agnes
in1972, wrote Casey. Time is of
the essence and we must move
quickly to ensure that the affect-
ed communities receive immedi-
ate relief and long-term assist-
ance to begin rebuilding.

gram from efforts to trim bene-
fits, said Max Richtman, presi-
dent of the nonprofit National
Committee to Preserve Social
Security and Medicare. This
will make it much harder to
make this case.
Last year, Social Securitys ex-
penditures were $49 billion
more than it collected in taxes,
the first time it ran a deficit since
1983. Back then, the deficit
prompted a bipartisan commis-
sion headed by Alan Greenspan
to curb benefits, increase FICA
taxes and gradually raise the re-
tirement age to push the system
back into the black and create a
huge reserve for covering bene-
fits of baby boomers who are
starting to retire now.
The 2008 recession, with a net
loss of 6.8 million jobs, and some
workers decisions to retire early
amid the economys stubborn
softness have reduced the sys-
tems revenues.
Social Security, created in
1935, pays its beneficiaries from
payroll taxes collected from
workers and companies and
frominterest earned by the trust
fund where those taxes are de-
posited. The government col-
lected $638 billion in payroll tax-
es last year and its trust fund is
worth around $2.5 trillion.
That $2.5 trillion, though, is
not sitting in a government
vault. The government has bor-
rowed it, and its one big compo-
nent of the nations $14.3 trillion
federal debt..
By law, the money is invested
in special Treasury bonds in
effect a promise that the govern-
ment will repay the Social Secu-
rity system when the money is
needed, plus interest. Mean-
while, with the federal budget
running annual deficits exceed-
ing $1 trillion, the government
uses the trust fund cash to help
pay for all its other programs.
This has long fueled a debate
over Social Securitys sound-
ness.
Critics say the programs trust
fund is nothing more than a
mountain of IOUs, money the
cash-strapped government
would be hard pressed to repay.
Others counter that a federal
promise to provide Social Secu-
rity with cash has always been as
good as gold and any politician
hedging on the bonds owned by
the deeply popular program
would do so at his own risk.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2011

T
he one thing Joe Paterno looks
for in his starting quarterbacks
is the one thing Penn State
doesnt have.
A guy who can put the team on his
shoulders and carry it through ad-
versity.
Paterno, Penn States legendary
84-year-old coach, always points to
that famous length-of-the-field drive
Kerry Collins put together against
Illinois to save an unbeaten 1994 sea-
son as his current measuring stick.
The guys he has throwing the ball
now dont come close to measuring
up.
Not against national title contenders
like Alabama, anyway, because Rob
Bolden didnt make enough plays to
give the Nittany Lions a chance Sat-
urday and Matt McGloin didnt make
any.
We did OK, Bolden said. But it
wasnt enough to win this game.
It should be enough to make the
Nittany Lions scrap their quarterback
merry-go-round once and for all.
Bolden has the ability to sustain
drives, but too many times he cant
finish them. Alabama cruelly finished
McGloins magical mystique of being
some sort of comeback kid.
The Lions are kidding themselves if
they believe running two quarterbacks
in and out of the huddle is going to
work for them against the better teams
in the country. Or their conference.
If I was running things, I would be
the only guy out there, Bolden said.
He has a lot of support with that,
especially from the Penn State fans
who let out a cheer when McGloin left
the field after a couple of three-and-
outs and Bolden came back to the
huddle.
Except Bolden didnt exactly light
up Beaver Stadium himself.
He had a solid opening and a splen-
did finish while leading both scoring
drives of Penn States 27-11 defeat.
But between those two series, Bol-
den was just another quarterback who
was washed away in the Tide.
He had a chance to really make a
difference Saturday, to get Penn State
right back in the game early in the
second half of a game they trailed 17-3.
Bolden found Justin Brown running
free down the left sideline with a cou-
ple steps on his defender. He not only
overthrew Brown, Bolden threw the
ball out of bounds.
The next big completion Bolden
makes to pull the Lions out of a rut
will be his first.
McGloins the guy for that.
But even after the way he came off
the bench and rallied the Lions to an
Outback Bowl berth last season, he
hasnt been a clutch player for Penn
State when the spotlight shines bright-
est.
You look at his woeful 1-for-10 pass-
ing performance against Alabama and
think back to the five interceptions he
threw against Florida in an Outback
Bowl loss, and its fair to wonder if
McGloin has enough game for Penn
States biggest games.
I thought the quarterbacks played a
pretty good football game, Paterno
insisted. There were a couple of big-
time throws out there that we didnt
come up with.
Maybe those drops will stop when
Penn State drops the two-quarterback
rotation and the teams top receivers
can get accustomed to catching balls
coming out of the hand of just one.
The problem is, neither one has
given the Lions a clear advantage, or
obvious disadvantage when hes in
there. Neither has determined the
starting job.
Its time for the Lions coaching staff
to do that, to make a decision on one
or the other and stick with it. Before
the Big Ten season becomes as big of
a bust for Penn State as Alabama.

lengthy, mesmerizing points to
earn his first U.S. Open title and

Djokovic improved to 64-2

just didnt end its three-game losing
streak to Abington Heights on Monday
night. The Spartans stomped it into
oblivion.
Scoringonits first sevenpossessions of
the first half, Valley West went on to
pound its long-distance rival 51-0 at Spar-
tan Stadium in a non-conference game.
We just had to keep the ball moving,
keep scoring and do everything flawless-

Reams, one of several seniors who never
celebrated a victory over the Comets.
And we did. We didnt commit many pe-
nalties at all. We wanted to keep sharp
and keep the momentum moving.
Valley West (2-0) did all that, handing
Abington (1-1) its worst loss in the seven
years Joe Repshis has coached the two-
time defending District 2 Class 3Acham-
pion. By halftime, Valley West led 45-0,
scoring eight more points than in its last
four games combined with the Comets.
I didnt imagine it at all, Valley West
quarterback Eugene Lewis said. We had
a lot of things going onthis week withthe
flood. Our whole team stuck together
with what happened this week and we
came out here and showed were a real
team.
The Spartans hadnt practiced since
last Wednesday except for a walk-though
Sunday because of the evacuation of sev-
eral communities which are part of the
school district. They didnt miss a beat.
Lewis had three rushing touchdowns
and running back Tashawn Bunch added
another as Valley West built a 28-0 lead at
10:03 of the second quarter. Lewis fol-
lowed with a pair of 18-yard TD passes
one to Derrick Simms and the other to
Dylan Flayhart.
Kicker Nick Singer made it 45-0 with a
38-yard field goal at 2:24 of the second
quarter. The Spartans took two knees on
their final possession of the first half.
Valley West is very explosive offen-

MIAMI Tom Brady threw
his first interceptionsince Octo-
ber, so he wasnt perfect in the
New England Patriots opener.
He was close, though.
Brady threw for a team-re-
cord 517 yards and four touch-
downs, including a 99-yarder to
Wes Welker, and the reigning
AFC East champions started
with a victory for the eighth
consecutive season Monday
night by beating the Miami Dol-
phins 38-24.
Defensive end Jared Odrick
pickedoff a deflectedpass to set
up a Miami touchdown and end Bradys
NFL-record streak of 358 passes with-
out an interception. Otherwise Brady
and the Patriots picked up where they
left off last season, when he threwfor 36
TDs and his teamled the league in scor-
ing.
New England totaled 622 yards, the
most in franchise history and
the most allowed by Miami.
Brady, whowent 32for 48, be-
came the 11th quarterback to
throw for at least 500 yards.
Norm Van Brocklin set the re-
cord of 554 yards in 1951.
The capper came with 5:44
left and the Patriots leading 31-
17. After theystoppedMiami on
downs at the 1-foot line, Brady
lined up in the shotgun on first
down and threw from his end
zonetoWelker, whohadslipped
behind Benny Sapp near the 30-
yard line.
Welker caught the pass in
stride and sprinted untouched
for the score to complete the longest
play in Patriots history.
Brady also threw touchdown passes
on consecutive plays. He hit Aaron Her-
nandez for a 31-yard score, and when a
replay review determined the receiver
was down at the 1, Brady threw to him
again for a TD on the next play.

The Phillies are trying to make
the playoffs for the fifth straight
year.

seasons for the Astros, faced his
former teammates for the first
time at Minute Maid Park since
he was traded to the Phillies in
July 2010.
Right fielder Hunter Pence,
traded by Houston to the Phil-
lies in July, also returned for the
first time and got two hits off
Brett Myers (5-13).

ing in the go-ahead run in the

in early, each giving up one hit
through four innings that took
just 52 minutes. The Nationals
took a1-0 lead in the fifth with
help fromMets third baseman

three games.

ington, winners of two straight.

road trip, have lost four straight
and nine of 12. They still lead
St. Louis by 41/2 games in the
NL wild-card race.
Braves rookie right-hander
Anthony Varvaro (0-2) walked

Rays 5, Orioles 2
BALTIMOREB.J. Upton
doubled twice and took two
walks to set a Tampa Bay re-
cord by reaching base in nine
straight plate appearances, and
the resurgent Rays beat the
Baltimore Orioles for their fifth
straight victory.
Ben Zobrist had three hits
and three RBIs for the Rays,
who have won eight of nine to

race. Tampa Bay trailed the Red
Sox by nine games on Sept. 2.
Upton went 4 for 4 with a
walk on Sunday against Boston,
then reached base four succes-
sive times against the Orioles

streak since they won11in a

ries that year.
Raburn finished the game
with four hits and three RBIs
and Peralta added two hits and
three RBIs for the Tigers, who

Washington Nationals in the first inning of a game on Monday in
New York.
Russ Canzler is in another pen-
nant race.
After helping the Durham re-
ach the International League
Governors Cup playoffs, the Ha-
zleton Area grad is now trying to
help the Tampa Bay Rays do the
same.
On Sunday, the 25-year-old got
the call to the Majors for the first
time in his career for manager
Joe Maddon, another Hazleton
native. The move on Sunday put
Canzler in the middle of another
pennant race, this time for the
American League East and Wild
Card. Through two days, Canzler
has yet to see action for Tampa
Bay.
After Mondays win over Balti-
more, the Rays are 6.5 games be-
hind New York in third place in
the A.L. East. Tampa is also now
just three games behind Boston
in the chase for the Wild Card.
Tampa, which is riding a five-
game winning streak, has been
hot lately winning eight of its last
11to trimthe Red Sox lead in the
Wild Card by six games in 10
days. That includes a three-game
sweep of the Sox last weekend.
On Sept. 2, Tampa was nine
games behind Boston. The siz-
zling Rays still have 16 games re-
maining this season, consisting
of two more in Baltimore then
four at Boston. They also have
seven games with the Yankees
sandwiched around a three-game
series at home against Toronto.
They head to Boston this week-
end for a four-game set begin-
ning Thursday. After an off-day
Sept. 19, Tampa Bay starts a four-
game stint in New York on Sept.
20.
Canzler, who won the Interna-
tional Leagues Most Valuable
Player award last month, helped
Durham reach the postseason
winning the I.L. South before be-
ing dispatched by Columbus in
the best-of-five series last week.
Canzler had a phenomenal
season for the Bulls leading the
league in doubles with 40, slug-
ging percentage at .530 and on
base plus slugging percentage
with a mark of .930.
He was also second in the I.L.
in runs scored (78), total bases
(251) and on base percentage
(.401) to go along with the
fourth-highest batting average in
the league hitting at a .314 clip
and was third in hits with149. He
also blasted18 home runs good
for 11th in the I.L. and drove in
the fifth-most RBI in the league
with 83.
He got hot in July after being
named to the Triple-A All-Star
game and accounted for the
games lone runs with a three-run
home run. He became just the
second player in Top Star honors
in the Triple-AAll-Star game and
the I.L. MVP in the same season.
After the mid-summer game
for the Bulls, he hit .358 in July
and .353 in August to get into
contention for the leagues MVP
award. Over the last two months
and four September games he
batted .362 with 10 home runs
and 36 RBI in 56 games.
Canzler, who graduated from
Hazleton Area in 2004, joined
the Rays organization last offsea-
son as a minor league free agent
after not being signed by the Chi-
cago Cubs, who drafted him out
of high school.

1925 Brooklyns Dazzy Vance threw a no-hitter
against the Philadelphia Phillies in the first game of
a doubleheader to give the Dodgers a 10-1 win.
1932 The NewYork Yankees beat Cleveland 9-3
and clinched the American League pennant. Joe
McCarthy became the first manager to win flags in
both leagues.
1936BobFeller, 17, beat thePhiladelphiaAs 5-2
on two hits. The Cleveland youngster fanned17 bat-
ters for an American League record.
1965 Willie Mays hit his 500th career home run
off Houstons Don Nottebart in a 5-1 San Francisco
victory.
1971 Frank Robinson hit his 500th career home
run off Detroits Fred Scherman. The ninth-inning
shot gave the Baltimore Orioles a split in a double-
header against the Tigers.
1978 The NewYork Yankees beat the Tigers 7-3
at Detroit to move into sole possession of first place
for the first time after being14 games out on July19.
1986 Texas hit a club record seven home runs,
including two each by Darrell Porter and Ruben
Sierra, as the Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins
14-1. The Rangers rocked starter Bert Blyleven for
five home runs, raising his season total to 44 and
breaking an American League record.
1995 Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, the mid-
dle infield of the Detroit Tigers, set an American
League record when they played in their 1,915th
game together.
2004 Eric Chavez singled in the winning run in
the bottom of the 10th inning, leading Oakland to a
wild 7-6 win over the Rangers in a game that was
delayed in the ninth after Texas reliever Frank Fran-
cisco hurled a chair and hit two fans. Texas reliever
Doug Brocail was screaming at a male fan and had
to be restrained by his teammates and bullpen
coach Mark Connor. Francisco then tossed a chair
at a fan in a lower box to the left of the Rangers bull-
pen along the right-field line. The chair hit a man in
the head and broke a womans nose.
2008 Francisco Rodriguez set the major league
record with his 58th save this season, closing out
theLos Angeles Angels 5-2winover Seattle. Rodri-
guez broke the mark of 57 set by Bobby Thigpen
with the Chicago White Sox in 1990.
2008 Hanley Ramirez and Jorge Cantu homered
to help Florida beat Washington 4-2 and the Marlins
became the second major league team to have
three infielders with 30 homers. Ramirezs homer
was his 30th, and he joined first baseman Mike Ja-
cobs (32) and second baseman Dan Uggla (30) for
Florida this season. The Marlins joined the 2001
Oakland Athletics, who reached the mark with first
baseman Jason Giambi (38), third baseman Eric
Chavez (32) and shortstop Miguel Tejada (31).
2009 Seattles Ichiro Suzuki became the first
player in major league history with at least 200 hits
in nine straight seasons. In the nightcap of double-
header against the Texas, Suzuki beat out a slow
roller to shortstop Elvis Andrus to break a tie with
Willie Keeler. Keeler did it for eight consecutive
seasons (1894-1901).
WESTON, Fla. Former
World Series MVP Manny Rami-
rez was arrested Monday after a
domestic dispute at his South
Florida home and charged with
battery, police said.
Ramirez, 39, and his wife were
arguing in their bedroom when
he slapped her face, causing her
to hit her head on their beds
headboard, according to a police
report. She told the deputy she
was afraid the situation would
escalate and called police.
Ramirez denied hitting his
wife, according to the report,
telling a deputy she hit her head
after he shrugged her. Ramirezs
wife had injuries consistent with
her story, but did not want med-
ical treatment.
Ramirez retired in April from
the Tampa Bay Rays after he
tested positive for a perform-
ance-enhancing substance. Rath-
er than face a 100-game suspen-
sion for a second violation of Ma-
jor League Baseballs drug poli-
cy, the 12-time All-Star left the
game.
Ramirez previously served a
50-game ban in 2009 with the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Second-
time offenders get double that
penalty.
One of the games great slug-
gers, Ramirez was named MVP
of the World Series in 2004 and
helped Boston end an 86-year ti-
tle drought.
He was selected 13th overall
by the Cleveland Indians in the
1991 amateur draft and rose
quickly through the minor
leagues with a youthful exuber-
ance and natural charisma.
He broke into the majors in
1993 and played his first full sea-
son the following year, when he
finished second to the Royals
Bob Hamlin in voting for Rookie
of the Year. Ramirez went on to
establish himself as one of the
games most feared hitters,
adopting a dreadlock hairdo that
seemed to mirror his happy-go-
lucky demeanor.
He signed with the Red Sox as
a free agent in December 2000,
helping the long-suffering fran-
chise win the World Series a few
years later, then doing it again in
2007.
The Red Sox traded himto the
Dodgers in July 2008. He instant-
ly became a fan favorite on the
West Coast, with Mannywood
signs popping up around town,
as he led Los Angeles to the NL
West title and a sweep of the Chi-
cago Cubs in the playoffs. The
clutch performances earned Ra-
mirez a $45 million, two-year
contract.

SUSQUEHANNA Susque-
hanna used the huge disparity
in running attacks to repeated-
ly build what appeared to be
comfortable leads in Mondays
non-league high school foot-
ball game.
The throwing of David Gaw-
las and Jimmy Strickland,
alongwiththe receivingof Eric
Kerr, formed a passing attack
that allowedHoly Redeemer to
keep coming back before ulti-
mately falling short.
TheSabers madethemost of
eight sacks to help overcome
Kerrs nine catches for 215
yards and hold on for a 32-22
victory.
Jesse Pruitt ran for 131 yards
and a touchdown on just nine
carries to lead Susquehanna.
Quarterback Sean Stanley add-
ed 77 yards and James Mur-
nock 60 while each scored a
touchdown.
The defending Lackawanna
Football Conference Division3
champion Sabers piled up 297
yards on the ground while
holding the Royals to a net of
minus-45.
Susquehanna opened leads
of 14-0 in the first quarter, 26-8
inthethirdquarter and32-14in
the fourth quarter.
Holy Redeemer, which has
dropped 13 straight dating
back to late in the 2009 season,
made one last surge after Sus-
quehanna turned primarily to
reserves late in the game.
The Royals scored with 1:09
left, forcing the Sabers to suc-
cessfully handle an onside kick
attempt to finally put away
their first win of the season.
David Gawlas ran 6 yards for
the last score and passed to
Kurt Jones for the two-pointer.
Earlier, Gawlas threwa 40-yard
touchdown pass to Thomas
Cosgrove, who he also hit with
a two-point conversion pass.
Gawlas finished 9-for-12 for

WILKES-BARRE It could
have been the break Old Forge
was looking for in an otherwise
evenly played game between the
Blue Devils and GARon Monday
night at Wilkes-Barre Memorial
Stadium.
Insteadit turnedintoanoppor-
tunity for the Grenadiers unher-
aldeddefense toassert itself. And
when opportunity knocked, the
GAR defense answered.
The Grenadiers forced four
second-half turnovers anddidnot
allow a touchdown in the second
half until eight minutes were left
on their way to a 29-14 win over
Old Forge.
Leading 9-7 at the half after
Old Forge punter Dave Argust
kicked a wayward snap out of the
endzone for a safety withunder a
minute to play in the second
quarter, GAR opened the third
quarter on its own 43 following a
nice return by Shaliek Powell.
But disaster struck when a
fumbled snap was recovered by
the Blue Devils, turning the ball
back and momentum - over to
the Old Forge offense.
Two rushes by Blue Devils
quarterback Colin Carey and an-
other by tailback Lou Febbo set
Old Forge up at the GAR 23 with
second-and-8.
Dropping back to pass, Carey
was hurriedinto anincompletion
by pressure from defensive line-
men Shakir Soto and Elijah
Greshman. The GARduo did the
sameonthirddown, andas Carey
tried to set up a screen for Febbo
on fourth down, Greshman again
was there to force a third straight
incompletion. The junior defen-
sive lineman finished the night
with eight tackles for GAR.
The defensive stand was the
turning point as the Grenadiers
rattled off 20 straight points on
its next three possessions to take
command of the game.
Dwayne Wright carried for 20
yards on two carries after GAR
took over, and on third-and-5
from the Grenadiers 45, quarter-
back Darrell Crawford hooked up
with Powell for a 38-yard comple-
tion to give GAR first down from
the Old Forge 12.
On the next snap, Wright car-
ried up the middle before sprint-
ing to the corner for the touch-
down. Luke Heights extra-point
was good, and GARled, 16-7 with
8:42 left in the third quarter.
Old Forge was on the move
again before the GAR defense
made another play.
Carey had rushed for 19 yards
and a first down into Grenadiers
territory, but while fighting for
extra yards, Powell stripped the
ball from the senior signal-caller
and Ivan Jackson fell on the loose
pigskin to regain possession.
On third-and-1, Crawford
scampered for 35 yards down the
home sideline before hooking up
with Powell two downs later for
17 yards to set up first-and-goal
from the Old Forge 6. The senior
then called his own number on a
keeper to put GAR ahead, 22-7.
The two-point pass failed.
The Blue Devils tried to an-
swer on their ensuing posses-
sion, driving to the GAR15 on10
plays, but Max Gates caused and
recovered a fumble on an option
play togive the ball back toCraw-
ford and the Grenadiers.
Wright had 67 yards on nine
carries for the Grenadiers, and
Powell hauledinfour passes from
Crawford for 74 yards. Crawford
finished 6-for-11 passing for 83
yards, and scored GARs first
touchdown, a 14-yard scramble
from pressure on a pass play.
Carey rushed for 161 yards on
16 carries for the Blue Devils but
was intercepted three times by
GAR. Febbo added 85 yards and
Old Forges first touchdown.

LAKE ARIEL Taking an
early three-touchdown lead
seemed to make the Hanover Ar-
ea Hawkeyes relax a little bit.
Fortunately for them, Parish
Bennett never did.
Bennetts third rushing touch-
down of the night Monday gave
Hanover Area the lead to keep as
the Hawkeyes held off deter-
mined Western Wayne, 36-34 at
Western Wayne High School.
I think we just lost disci-
pline, Bennett said. We got it
back.
At least he did.
Bennett carried 12 times on a
63-yard drive that chewed nearly
seven minutes off the clock to
open the second half, capping it
with a 2-yard touchdown run
that broke a 21-21 halftime tie.
The sleek junior running back
finished the job by carrying the
ball eight straight times before
breaking the tie while breaking
the goal line, boosting the Haw-
keyes back into a 28-21 lead.
Compared to the rest of his
night, that was light work.
Bennett finished with 230
yards on 33 carries and caught
five passes for 58yards, touching
the ball on nearly 90 percent of
Hanover Areas running plays.
If touching the ball that much
tired out Bennett, it never
showed.
He polished off his big night
with a 40-yard burst during Ha-
nover Areas final series, and
capped it by sprinting to the end
zone with a conversion run that
left the Hawkeyes with a 36-27
lead.
Bennett began the game with
a couple more big runs a 27-
yard dash to the end zone and a
38-yard sprint for a touchdown
to give Hanover Area a quick
14-0 lead within the first two
minutes of the first quarter.
That advantage grew to 21-0
when quarterback Joe Ksiaz-
kiewicz found Sinclair Saunders
with a 23-yard touchdown pass.
But Western Wayne tied it by
intermission.
Nathan Sosa got the Wildcats
on the board with a four-yard
touchdown run; Nikolai Pritch-
yk scored on another four-yard
blast; and Chris Bergers leaping
41-yard touchdown catch-and-
run evened things at 21-21just 81
seconds before halftime.

had to temporarily put aside the
problems caused by flooding,
and turn their focus to football.
Despite having limited practice
time and dealing with a long bus
ride to Montrose, Northwest did
things well enough to win.
Running back Tony Politz had
his second consecutive big game,
as he rushed for 164 yards and
three touchdowns in the Rangers
30-8 victory.
We played exactly how I
thought we were going to play,
Northwest coachCarl Majer said.
We literally had one walk-
through on Sunday and that was
it. Give Montrose credit, they are
head and shoulders better than
they were last year. They are on
the right track. We played our
guys for a while then pulled them
out to get ready for Old Forge.
Were a little bit dingedupandwe
have to get these guys ready for
our next game.
Northwest (2-0) opened the
scoring on its second possession
after Tyler Kishbaugh recovered
a fumble at the Montrose 31 giv-
ing the Rangers a short field to
navigate. Politz was able to finish
off the short scoring drive when
he took a handoff on a sweep
right, broke a tackle and scored
on a 3-yard run.
Early in the second quarter Po-
litz took an option pitch and out-
ran the Meteors defense on a 57-
yard touchdown run to push the
lead to 14-0.
Tony Politz is really coming
into his own, Majer said. Our
offensive line is really coming in-
to their own. A lot of people ask
how do you replace a Brett Rut-
koski? But I think Tony is putting
the critics to sleep and he has re-
ally taken this team under his
wing.
Montrose (0-2) was able to
make a big defensive play to get
back in the game. Defensive End
Brenton Warner intercepted a
screen pass and returned it 16
yards for a touchdown. JohnLaw-
son ran in the two-point conver-
sion to cut the lead to 14-8 mid-
way through the second quarter.

modern era was John McEnroes
82-3 in 1984, although that in-
cluded two Grand Slamtitles, be-
cause he lost in the French Open
final and didnt enter the Austra-
lian Open. Roger Federer was
81-4 in 2005 with two majors, ex-
iting twice in the semifinals. Rod
Laver (twice) and Don Budge are
the only men to win all four
Grand Slam tournaments in a
year.
Djokovic attributes his rise
this season to a number of fac-
tors, including a vastly improved
serve, better fitness owing, at
least in part, to a gluten-free diet
he doesnt like to discuss in any
detail anda seemingly endless
reservoir of confidence that
dates to December, when he led
Serbia to its first Davis Cup title.
Thats where Djokovic began a
43-match winning streak that
ended with a semifinal loss to Fe-
derer in the French Open semi-
finals. The only other blemish on
Djokovics 2011 record was a loss
to Andy Murray in the Cincinnati
Masters final last month; Djokov-
ic stopped playing while trailing,
citing a painful shoulder.
That was the 24-year-old Serbs
last match before heading to
Flushing Meadows. His shoulder
was fine, clearly, and while he
was treated by a trainer for a bad
back three times in the late going
Monday perhaps the reason
his serves slowed to the 90s mph
in the fourth set he overcame
it.
With both men playing fantas-
tic, court-covering defense, there
were more thantwo dozenpoints
that lasted at least 15 strokes.
Nadal won a trio of major titles
in 2010, including beating Djo-
kovic in the U.S. Open final. But
this rematch was more of a mis-
match, with Djokovic quickly
turning things around after fall-
ing behind 2-0 in each of the first
two sets.
Only in the third set did Djo-
kovic really falter for a few mo-
ments, getting broken while
serving for the match at 6-5, then
being outplayed in the tiebreak-
er.
But in the fourth set, Djokovic
was in control from the start,
breaking in the opening game
with a forehand winner, then
cruising from there.
When Djokovic ended it with
another forehand winner, he
raised his arms, then tossed
aside his racket and dropped to
the court. He pulled off his shirt
and threwit into the stands, then
put on a dark hat with FDNY
written on it a nod to Sundays
10th anniversary of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks, which
both he and Nadal mentioned
during the trophy ceremony.
Of all of Djokovics skills, the
one that separated him the most
across the 4-hour, 10-minute final
was his return. He repeatedly
sent serves back over the net and
at Nadals feet, forcing errors or
taking control of the point, help-
ing Djokovic accumulate an as-
tounding 26 break points and
convert 11.
Consider this: When Nadal
completed his career Grand
Slam by winning last years U.S.
Open, he was broken a total of
five times in seven matches.
Another telling statistic: Four
times Monday, Nadal broke Djo-
kovic only to have Djokovic
break right back in the next
game.
Thats exactly what happened
in the third game of the second
set, which lasted 17 minutes and
featured a bit of everything: 22
points; eight deuces; six break
points; a time violation warning
against Nadal (Djokovic was ad-
monished later in the set); com-
plaints by both men that the
glare fromthe Arthur Ashe Stadi-
umlights was bothersome; seven
exchanges that lasted at least 10
strokes.
After a 28-shot point, Djokovic
leaned over and put his hands on
his knees, his chest heaving. Na-
dal was the one who faltered,
though. He double-faulted to set
up break point No. 6, thenona
great defensive lob by Djokovic
put an overhead into the net.
The final delayed a day to
Monday by rain for the fourth
consecutive U.S. Open was
marked by spectators calling out
during points or as the players
were in their service motions,
and while thats perhaps to be ex-
pected in New York (as opposed
to, say, the staid All England
Club), Djokovic and Nadal were
bothered by it, and the chair um-
pire repeatedly chastised the un-
ruly crowd.
Once he adjusted to the condi-
tions, Djokovic disguised shots
well, rearing back and ripping
big shots off both wings often
right near lines, if not right on
them. He wound up with 55 win-
ners 23 more than Nadal
and all in all, put on a masterful
display of as diverse a game as
one can have. He excelled at ev-
erything serving, returning,
volleying, groundstrokes and the
sort of constant movement and
retrieving with which Nadal usu-
ally frustrates opponents.
Nadal, of course, is no slouch
himself. At 25 years old, he owns
10 Grand Slam titles.
He has acknowledged, though,
that Djokovic holds a psycholog-
ical advantage. Late in Mondays
first set, Djokovic hit two drop
shots that the normally relent-
less and indefatigable Nadal
didnt even bother to chase.

Serena fined $2,000
NEW YORK Serena Williams
was fined $2,000 by the U.S.
Open on Monday for berating
the chair umpire during the
final.
Tournament referee Brian
Earley issued his ruling a day
after Williams was cited by
chair umpire Eva Asderaki for a
code violation for verbal abuse
during a 6-2, 6-3 loss to Sam
Stosur in the womens singles
championship match at
Flushing Meadows.
A statement issued by the U.S.
Tennis Association said the fine
is consistent with similar
offenses at Grand Slam
events.
Williams earned $1.4 million at
the U.S. Open: $900,000 for
finishing as the runner-up, plus
a $500,000 bonus for having
come in first place in the U.S.
Open Series standings, which
take into account results at
hard-court tuneup
tournaments.
The USTA also said Grand Slam
committee director Bill
Babcock conducted his own
review and determined
Williams conduct, while
verbally abusive, does not rise
to the level of a major offense
under the Grand Slam Code of
Conduct.
That means Williams does not
face further disciplinary action
which could have included a
fine and suspension from a
Grand Slam tournament
under the probationary
period she was put under
after yelling at and threatening
a line judge after a foot-fault
call at the end of her loss to
Kim Clijsters in the 2009 U.S.
Open semifinals.
his attempts. He had scoring
runs of 34 and 16 yards on third
downs, and a 2-yard plunge mid-
way through the fourth quarter
that stood as the winning score.
His previous best was 140
yards against Pittston Area in
Week 8 of last season.
Berwick jumped out to a 17-0
lead by scoring on its first three
possessions. Quarterback Jared
Pierce opened the scoring with a
10-yard draw, and Alex Oliver
booted a 40-yard field goal from
the right hash mark. Freeman
then capped a nine-play, 77-yard
drive by bursting free from the
line on a third-and-6 to reach the
end zone from 34 yards out.
Jake Pecorelli had intercep-
tions on North Poconos first
two possessions, returning the
second 21 yards to the North Po-
BERWICK -- Berwick coach
Gary Campbell described Jere-
my Freemans running style
with a smile.
Ba boom! Ba boom! Ba
boom!
All Campbell forgot was to
raise his arms after he said it.
Freeman ran for a career-best
229 yards and three touchdowns
as Berwick won its home opener
38-28 over North Pocono at Cris-
pin Field on Monday
You realize it (during the
game), but you just kind of for-
get about it, Freeman said of his
gaudy numbers. You just want
to do all you can for your team.
Freeman toted the ball 25
times for the Bulldogs and
gained at least 5 yards on 14 of
cono 25, setting up Olivers field
goal.
Pec did a great job, and the
whole secondary really picked
us up, Campbell said of his re-
vamped unit. We won the turn-
over battle tonight. I dont know
how many years its been since
that happened.
Berwick may have won the
battle, but the war was far from
over.
North Pocono got on the
board with a John Gething 2-
yard run. On the ensuing kick-
off, Conor Rosen forced a fumble
by Pecorelli, which was reco-
vered by Ryan Sheerer.
Quarterback Jack Williams
took the first snap of the drive
and went around the left side for
a 41-yard score to make it 17-14.
After our first game, where
we made mistakes, it starts to
creep into your head, Campbell
said. What way can we answer
the bell?
We learned against Crest-
wood we needed to get outside.
Then we could run our offense.
Berwick gave North Pocono
more of Freeman than it could
handle. Freemans 35-yard run
on second-and-14 from the 18
moved the Bulldogs into Trojans
territory. Austin Heinemanns
TD-saving tackle from behind
was in vain, as Freeman ran over
a trio of North Pocono defenders
for a 16-yard score with three
minutes left in the third quarter.
The line did very well block-
ing for me, Freeman said. We
had some young kids start up
there. They wanted to get the
touchdowns.
North Pocono remained resil-
ient, marching 96 yards in 13
plays to make it 24-21 with less
than nine minutes remaining in
the game. After Gething fum-
bled the kickoff and was tackled
at his 4-yard line, he took the
ball nine times in the drive for 81
yards, including the final 6 to
make it a three-point game.
Freeman had runs of 10 and 30
yards on his next two touches as
Berwick featured himup the gut
on a six-play drive that put Ber-
wick ahead by 10. The Bulldogs
tacked on an insurance touch-
down with play-action to Free-
man, freezing the Trojans de-
fense so Pierce could connect
with a wide-open Will Upde-
grove for a 20-yard score.

DUNMORE The Dunmore
Bucks scoredtwotouchdowns in
31 seconds late in the second
quarter and three more in less
than six minutes early in the
third quarter Monday night to
break away from Meyers for a
45-0 romp in a non-league high
school football game.
Meyers, unable to practice the
previous five days because of
flooding issues, battled for the
first 18 minutes before being
overwhelmed by the state-
ranked Bucks, a District 2 Class
A finalist a year ago.
We faced a lot of adversity
this last week, Meyers coach
Corry Hanson said. We prac-
ticed Tuesday. We were evacuat-
edandwe hadnt practicedsince.
When you go against a team
like Dunmore they play phys-
ical when you have one day of
practice its an uphill battle.
Dunmore led just 7-0 before
scoring with 5:52 left in the first
half. They ran away for a 45-0 ad-
vantage with 4:45 still to play in
the third quarter of a game that
was originally scheduled for Fri-
day night.
You have to give their kids a
lot of credit, said Dunmore
coachJackHenzes, thestates ac-
tive leader in career coaching
victories. We had our hands full
the first quarter and a half.
They didnt have the practice
time for the things they had to
get done. You could see they
were a little tired and the unifor-
mity wasnt there.
Dunmores physical, tailback-
oriented offense pounded away
to take the game under control.
Austin Seamon ran nine times
for 104 yards and two touch-
downs and Daiquon Buckley ran
10 times for 73 yards and two
more scores. After they rotated
muchof the night andaccounted
for four of the first five touch-
downs inthe game-breaking out-
burst that the Bucks wrapped
around halftime, freshman Sal
Marchese took over and added
56 yards and a touchdown.
Dunmores Mike Kolcharno
intercepted a pass on the games
first play, then picked up a Buck-
ley fumble and advanced it 5
yards for the only touchdown of
the first quarter.
Seamons 14-yard run midway
through the second quarter add-
ed to the lead.
Chris Yurechko and Buckley
ran for touchdowns in the final
1:25 of the half with the help of a
Jordan Sweeney fumble recov-
ery on the kickoff that came in
between.
The Bucks opened the second
half by moving 80 yards in four
plays, including a 49-yard Sea-
mon touchdown.
John Rinaldis 30-yard punt re-
turn helped set up an offense
that scored on three out of five
plays at one point while produc-
ing the 45-0 lead.

A person with knowledge of
the situation says Texas and Ok-
lahoma officials met over the
weekend amid speculation that
the Sooners are considering
leaving the Big12.
Texas President WilliamPow-
ers Jr., athletic director DeLoss
Dodds and womens athletic di-
rector Chris Plonsky were
among a group of Texas officials
who went to Oklahoma on Sun-
day, according to a person at a
Big12 school who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because
they are not authorized to speak
publicly about the meeting.
The person also said Oklaho-
ma president David Boren was
present at the meeting, which
was first reported by the Austin
American-Statesman.
Oklahoma officials are report-
edly considering leaving the Big
12 after Texas A&Ms recent de-
cision to leave the conference
with hopes of joining the South-
easternConference.
On Sept. 2, Boren said multi-
ple conferences have expressed
interest in the Sooners and that
he expected a decision possibly
this month. That could be a
move to the Pac-12 or remaining
in a revised Big 12 that could be
searching for a team to replace
Texas A&M.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry
Scott has indicated his confer-
encewouldnotbethefirsttopur-
sue expansion but would moni-
tor the situationnationwide and
possibly react to events.
Texas officials have publicly
stated their desire to keep the
Big12 intact.
The league was nearly torn
apart in 2010 as Nebraska went
to the Big Ten and Colorado
went tothePac-12. ThePac-12al-
so courted Texas, Texas Tech,
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
butthoseschoolschosetostayin
the Big12.
Since then, Texas has signeda
20-year, $300 million deal with
ESPNfor its newLonghornNet-
work, a 24-hour showcase for
Texas athletics that has caused
several Big12members toworry
it gives the Longhorns toomuch
power and influence, especially
in the areas of exposure and
recruiting.
The Aggies announced re-
centlythattheywill leavetheBig
12 if possible, only to run into a
hurdle as Baylor and other
schools declined to waive their
right to sue over such a depar-
ture. TheSEClast weekvotedto
accept the Aggies if the legal
headaches canbe takencare of.
SEC Commissioner Mike
Slive said Monday that the 12-
memberconferencehasstarted

Bettors call NV
regulators after
USC-Utah change
LAS VEGAS Sports bettors
in Nevada are complaining to
state gambling regulators
over a scoring change in last
weekends USC-Utah football
game that didnt affect the
outcome, but swung the
betting result in many sports
books from the Utes to the
Trojans.
Enforcement chief Jerry
Markling of the Nevada
Gaming Control Board told
The Associated Press on
Monday that regulators have
been taking calls from
gamblers and casinos and are
trying to resolve disputes
after Pac-12 officials changed
the score of Saturday nights
game two hours after it
ended.
He said its not yet clear
whether any of the queries
will become full-fledged
complaints that the board will
investigate and rule on,
deciding whether individual
bettors or the house should
have won.
In most cases, the house
rules probably are sufficient,
he said. In some cases, they
may not be and in those cases
then well take it and conduct
an investigation and make a
determination.
USC ultimately won 23-14,
scoring its last touchdown on
the final play of the game
when Matt Kalil blocked a
41-yard field goal attempt and
Torin Harris returned it for a
touchdown. But the
touchdown wasnt counted in
the box score at first because
of an excessive celebration
penalty USC committed when
its bench poured out onto the
field to celebrate the block
and the win. Right after the
game, the score was given as
17-14.
USC was favored by roughly
8.5 points in most sports
books in Sin City.
Two hours after the game, the
Pac-12 said the
unsportsmanlike conduct
penalties are dead ball fouls
by rule, but this one was
automatically declined by rule
because the game ended.
The conference then clarified
its stance on Sunday, saying
the referees on the field
called the play properly.
There was a
miscommunication between
the officials and the press box
that led to the confusion
about the final score, Tony
Corrente, Pac-12 coordinator
of football officiating, said in a
statement.
Normally, the change wouldnt
have meant much. But in the
betting world, it caused major
concern as USC bettors who
had scrapped their tickets or
thought they were losers
found themselves poring over
the technicalities of house
rules, trying to see how their
casino was supposed to
handle the situation.
It was a week late, but the
Wyoming Valley Conference
boys soccer season finally got
underway for three teams on
Monday.
Meyers, Holy Redeemer and
Lake-Lehman all opened their
schedules with a win. A trio of
other schools, which were
scheduled for season-openers on
Monday were pushed back once

Pittston Area, Wyoming Semi-
nary and Tunkhannock did
not play Monday. The Patriots
were slated to host Wyoming
Area, while the Blue Knights
and Tigers were set for road
contests at Berwick and Nanti-
coke, respectively.
There are still three teams

that have not played a confer-
ence game yet. Crestwood and
Dallas are set for matches to-
night, while Coughlin is slated

No. 2 Alabama gained a first-
place vote in the latest Associat-
ed Press college football poll
and No. 1 Oklahoma lost one af-
ter a mistake in the entry of the
ballots was corrected.
When the rankings were fixed
Monday, Alabama had 10 first-
place votes and Oklahoma 31
while South Carolina and Ne-
braska switched places. The
Gamecocks are now No. 10, the
Cornhuskers No. 11.
Also, Texas moved from No.
24 into a tie for 23rd with TCU.
The extra first-place vote
gives Alabama 1,423 points. Ok-
lahoma has 1,440 points.
The mixup started Sunday
with an amended ballot from
voter Mike DiRocco of the Flor-
ida Times-Union.
I transposed the results of
the Arizona-Missouri game and
had Missouri winning, he said.
WhenI realizedthat, I readjust-
ed my ballot and sent it in.
Got it, said the confirma-
tion email from the AP.
But instead of subbing DiRoc-
cos previous ballot, the newone
was inadvertently attached by
the AP to Sal Interdonato of the
Times Herald-Recordof Middle-
town, N.Y.

BOLTON, Mass. Boston
Bruins forward Marc Savard
will get his name on the
Stanley Cup after all.
General manager Peter
Chiarelli said Monday at the
teams charity golf tourna-
ment that Savards name will
be inscribed on the trophy
with his teammates. Savard
played in only 25 games last
season because of post-con-
cussion syndrome and mis-
sed the entire playoffs as the
Bruins won their first NHL
title since 1972.
According to the guide-
lines posted on the NHL
website, to get on the Cup a
player must play at least 41
games in the regular season
or one in the Stanley Cup fi-
nals. In 1994, the league add-
ed a clause that would allow
a team to petition the com-
missioner for permission to have other players
listed in extenuating circumstances.
Chiarelli said the request had been granted.
Thats the good news for Savard, who did
not play after a Jan. 22 hit from Colorados
Matt Hunwick Savards second concussion
in 10 months. Chiarelli said Savard will not
play this season, either.
Hes not in a good spot still. He still has
recurring headaches; he still has post-concus-
sion stuff, Chiarelli said. Hes not playing
this year. Frankly, I dont think hell play again.
Thats my opinion, my laypersons opinion.
His teammate said they will miss his scoring
touch he averaged 90 points in the four sea-
sons before he missed large chunks of time
with the injuries and his presence in the
locker room.
Its tough to hear, obviously, Bruins for-
ward Patrice Bergeron said. Hes one of your
friends and you want him to do well and come
back at 100 percent. Im happy theyre doing
that, not risking his health. That said, its sad
to see.
The Bruins had better news on forward
Nathan Horton, who was knocked out of the
Stanley Cup finals against Vancouver with a
bone-jarring and late hit from Canucks
defenseman Aaron Rome in Game 3. Rome was
suspended for the rest of the series.
Horton, who did not play again, made an
emotional return to the TD
Garden in street clothes in
Game 6, drawing cheers
from the crowd. As his team-
mates knocked their sticks
against the boards, fans
chanted his name and waved
signs encouraging the
Bruins to Win it for Hor-
ton.
I feel good, he told re-
porters at the golf tourna-
ment. I just started skating,
so it hasnt been that long on
the ice. But Ive been work-
ing out for a long time.
Horton, who was second
on the team with 26 goals in
the regular season, scored
the goals that clinched two
seven-game series this post-
season in the first round
against the Montreal Cana-
diens and in the third against
the Tampa Bay Lightning.
He had said he has not
watched replays of the hit
since he was in the hospital.
I get asked a lot how Im doing and thats
nice, he said. But I dont watch it.
The Bruins open training camp on Friday,
completing the shortest summer in franchise
history. Players spent the summer celebrating
their championship and hosting the Stanley
Cup in their hometowns.
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk said he
brought the Cup to Childrens Hospital in Ed-
monton, and to his parents house. Although
he was used to being recognized in Boston, he
said, he was also stopped on the street in Ed-
monton, and by the manager at the local gro-
cery store there.
You want to kind of keep the party going,
forward Milan Lucic said. But there is a time
that you need to come back and start focusing
on next season. obviously, that point is now.
At a State of the Bruins town hall with
season ticket-holders on Monday night, owner
Jeremy Jacobs said theres no reason the team
cant repeat.
A person once said, Winning isnt every-
thing. I dont think that person every lifted
that Cup, owner Jeremy Jacobs told the
crowd at the TD Garden. Everybody loved
this year. It was spectacular. And hopefully
were able to deliver on it. Weve got the same
team, the same organization. They know what
it takes to win now.

PHILADELPHIA A con-
vincing 18-point victory in the
season opener would leave most
teams feeling satisfied about
their performance.
Not the Philadelphia Eagles.
Not this year.
The Eagles have a long way to
go if theyre going to fulfill their
goal of winning the Super Bowl.
Beating the St. Louis Rams 31-13
on Sunday was a nice start. Still,
theres plenty room for improve-
ment.
Weve got a lot of things to
work on after the game yester-
day, coach Andy Reid said Mon-
day. The players, I could tell by
the comments that they were
humble and they understand the
situation that weve got to con-
tinue to get better.
The revamped defense strug-
gled mightily against the run. St.
Louis rushed for 154 yards, in-
cluding Steven Jacksons 47-yard
touchdown on the Rams first
play fromscrimmage.
The overhauled offensive line
had problems protecting Mi-
chael Vick. He was sacked three
times and took several hits.
Vick was off, too, despite a sol-
idall-aroundeffort. Hemadesev-
eral big plays, especially scram-
bling, but alsohadhisworst pass-
ing game (14 for 32) as a starter
with the Eagles. Vick threw for
187 yards and two touchdowns,
and ran for 100 until two kneel-
downs cost himtwo yards.
The only thing I can dwell on
right now is the things that we
didnt do so well, Vick said. I
felt like I could have done better.
Imthankful for the victory, dont
get me wrong, but I could have
beenalittlecleaner andI toldAn-
dy that.
With three newstarters on the
offensive line, including a rookie
center, and one starter playing a
new position, its going to take
some time for the group to get
used to each other. Vick did his
best to handle blitzes by doing
what hes always done under
pressure. He ran away fromit.
Teamshadsuccessblitzingthe
Eagles late last season and the
Rams tried it. But Vick doesnt
plan to stay in the pocket and ab-
sorb hits.
If teamswant todoit eachand
every week, well have counters
for it or well have ways to beat
it, he said. That was part of the
reason I was able to run for a 100
yards. I trainedmyself thisoffsea-
sontobeabletodothat. So, how-
ever it happens, however we get
it done, thats what its going to
be. Impretty sure were going to
do a great job at getting better
withtheblitzing. Its all about sit-
uations and putting guys in the
right positions at that right
time.
LeSean McCoy ran for 122
yards, including a game-sealing
49-yard score. DeSean Jackson
brushed aside all the talk about
him not being happy because he
doesnt have a newcontract, and
caught six passes for 102 yards
and one touchdown.
I think it speaks for the heart
and determination I have to play
this game regardless of off-the-
field issues, Jackson said. Im
here to work, Im here to play
football and do it at a high level.
Any time I can go out there and
performand help my teamwin, I
think it speaks for itself.
On the defensive side, it was a
positive debut for new coordina-
tor JuanCastillo inhis first game
since switching over fromcoach-
ing the offensive linemen.
Led by Jason Babin, who was
the first of the big-name free
agents signed by the Eagles, the
pass rush put plenty of pressure
on Sam Bradford and took him
down five times.
Nnamdi Asomugha, the big-
gest of the free-agent signings,
wasnt perfect. He committed a
pass-interference penalty and al-
lowed a long gain. But the star-
studded secondary held the
Rams to181yards passingandno
scores.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Caroli-
na Panthers linebacker Jon Bea-
sonwill misstherestof theseason
with a torn left Achilles tendon.
The team announced on Mon-
day the results of an MRI exam
that revealedthe tear Beasonsus-
tainedina28-21loss at Arizonain
the season opener Sunday. He
was carted off the field in the sec-
ond half.
Beason signed a $51 million,
six-year deal this summer, includ-
inga$20millionsigningbonus. A
first-round pick in 2007, he has
played inside and outside line-
backer for thePanthers andis one
of their defensive leaders.
He had started 65 straight
games for the Panthers.
Dan Connor, a former third-
rounddraft pickout of PennState
whostartedhalf of theseasonlast
year, will take over for Beason at
middle linebacker.
You can pretty much imagine
what its going to be like to lose a
leader like Jon, said Carolina
outside linebacker Thomas Da-
vis, who has missed much of the
previous two seasons with a torn
knee ligament. Hes a guy who
comes in day-in and day-out and
gives you everything he has. Its
going to be extremely tough for
us.
But we have some guys who
have to step up now. You know,
Dan Connor is a guy who has
stepped up and played well for us
in the past.
Panthers linebacker Jon Beason out for season
PITTSBURGH Go ahead,
pick your descriptive term. The
Pittsburgh Steelers probably
used it following a stunning 35-7
loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
Safety Ryan Clark called it a
whipping. Several players went
with humbling. Linebacker
James Harrisonconsiders it a re-
ality check while offensive tack-
le Willie Colon labeled it embar-
rassing.
Whatever it was, it wasnt near-
ly good enough for a team that
spent training camp talking
about taking the next step after a
crushing Super Bowl defeat.
The offense, the one consid-
eredthe teams most potent since
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
took over eight years ago, turned
it over seven times. The defense,
the one thats shouted down any
suggestionthat its starting to get
too old, allowed Baltimore run-
ning back Ray Rice to go over100
yards and failed to take the ball
away once.
The best team in the AFC a
year ago didnt look like the best
team or even the second-best
team in the AFC North.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown
spent Monday dutifully going
through tape highlighting the ug-
ly details.
Alot of guys wouldhave never
expected us to come out with a
game like that, Brown said.
Particularly the Steelers.
Though coach Mike Tomlin
did his best to try and calm his
team, shaking hands with his
players afterward and reminded
them it was just three miserable
hours in a four-month marathon.
Still, for a teamplaying against
the usual high expectations, to
fall woefully short of them even
for a week was disheartening.
We knew going into the game
that we were going to face a lot of
adversity, but we normally stay
positive and respond to it,
Brown said. But I think every-
thing we did, as far as responding
to it, wasnt in the right way.
Its hardly time to panic. Yet it
has been so long since the Steel-
ers were manhandled so com-
pletely even the teams most
even-keeled guys lost their cool.
Safety Troy Polamalu, a day after
signing a contract extension that
will keep in with the team
through 2014, found himself mix-
ing it up with several Ravens out
of frustration.

Small cars are the stars
Small cars are expected to get a lot of attention at the
Frankfurt International Auto Show. Tuesday and Wednes-
day are preview days for the media. Cars like the Volkswa-
gen Up subcompact and Mercedes-Benzs B-Class hatch-
back are expected to
appeal to buyers
looking for vehicles
that are small and
fuel efficient. Though
the economy has
been slowing, there
are 1,007 exhibitors,
up from 781 in the
last show, in 2009.
Cutting the budget
The special congressional com-
mittee formed to reduce the defi-
cit holds its first hearing Tues-
day. Douglas Elmendorf, director
of the Congressional Budget
Office, is scheduled to testify.
The committee must find $1.5
trillion to cut from the federal
budget over the next 10 years. It
will vote to recommend a plan by
Nov. 23, and Congress must
vote on it by Dec. 23. If a bill isnt
passed by Jan. 15, $1.2 trillion in
cuts will automatically take place.
Best Buy earnings
Best Buys report is expected to
show two important trends: How
comfortable consumers are
about spending, and how the
electronics retailer is doing in
shifting its focus from big-ticket
merchandise to tablets and gad-
gets. Investors also want to
know if the company has been
able to cut down the size of its
stores to lower its costs. First-
quarter earnings fell 12 percent,
partly because it spent more to
promote its top products.

Stocks stage late rally
A late afternoon rally pushed the
stock market higher for only the sec-
ond day this month. Major indexes
spent most of Monday lower as in-
vestors worried that Greece could be
edging closer to default.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note reached another record low as
investors piled into U.S. government
debt on fears that Europes debt crisis
could spread. The euro fell to a seven-
month low against the dollar.
J.J. Kirnahan, chief options strategist
at T.D. Ameritrade, said reports that
China planned to buy a significant
amount of Italian bonds contributed to
the sudden reversal. The last 16 min-
utes was insane, he said.
Worries over Europes debt crisis
drove traders into Treasurys, pushing
the yield on the 10-year Treasury note
to 1.87 percent, the lowest since the
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis be-
gan keeping daily records in 1962.

BofA slashing 30,000 jobs
Bank of America will cut about
30,000 jobs over the next few years in a
bid to save $5 billion per year. The
cost-cutting drive is part of a broader
effort to reshape and shrink the na-
tions largest bank as it copes with
fallout from the housing bust.
Bank of America stock has lost half
its value this year, largely over prob-
lems related to poorly-written mort-
gages it acquired with its 2008 pur-
chase of Countrywide Financial Corp.
Growth forecast lowered
Economists with the National Asso-
ciation for Business Economics predict
that the economy will grow1.7 percent

LAST WEEK, nobody
was worried about
technology. They
were worried about
saving their homes,
or their belongings,
or, if they werent in
the danger zone,
watching the situation develop.
Would the levee system hold? Would
it be a repeat of Agnes?
I wasnt around when Agnes came
through, but I knew the stories.
And I can tell you that there is one
major difference.
Information.
Granted, the river gauge was wrong.
Thats a big deal, but its a mechanical
failure.
1970s, that would have been impos-
sible on such short notice. The point:
As much as we may become frustrated
with technology, complain about its
cost or see it as a luxury rather than a
necessity, in this case it was incredibly
useful.
Emergency personnel were able to
get things done quickly. Government
officials were able to remain in com-
munication with their people in the
field.
And we were able to keep the public
informed, more completely than ever
before.
Emergency responders were able to
put this capability to good use, and
local and federal government officials
were able to react and respond to
developing situations in a way they
couldnt dream of in the 1970s.
The same technology helped us.
Reporters were able to capture pho-
tographs and send in stories without
ever leaving the field or stopping to
pull out a laptop. Our audience
helped, too. We received scores of
submitted story tips, information,
photographs and videos from the
public, all of which immediately be-
came available to everyone else.
Other advances in technology made
it possible to put the paper together
from a couple of hotel rooms. In the
The point is that the common per-
son on the street had much more
information at their fingertips than
they did in 1972. Even though local
media (including ourselves) were
evacuated, we were able to continue
providing information to our audience,
and, in the case of The Times Leader,
we were operating on a 24-hour news
cycle, so you could visit our website at
any time and see what was going on.
Another point: Anyone with a smart-
phone can transmit information in-
stantaneously to anyone else.

NEWYORKFoodpricescould
rise next year because an unseason-
ably hot summer likely damaged
muchof thisyearscorncrop.
The U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture estimated Monday that a sur-
plus of 672 million bushels of corn
will be left over at the end of next
summer. The estimated surplus is
downfromlast monthsforecast and
well belowlevelsthatareconsidered
healthy.
This spring, farmers planted the
second-largest cropsinceWorldWar
II. But high temperatures stunted
theplants.
We just didnt have a goodgrow-

The price of corn was relatively
unchangedat$7.33abushelonMon-
day. Whilethats downfromits peak

More expensive corn drives food
prices higher because corn is an in-
gredient in everything from animal
feed to cereal to soft drinks. It takes
about six months for corn prices to
trickle down to products at the gro-
cerystore.
Many food producers are already

WellPoint Inc., which has 34.2

said Manoj Saxena, general man-
ager of an IBM division looking at

Lori Beer, an executive vice

Its really a game-changer in
health care, she said.
The WellPoint application will

ATLANTICCITY, N.J. NewJerseys
casino industry has never been this down
onitsluck: Over thelast 41/2years, Atlan-
tic Citys gambling halls have lost $1.5 bil-
lion worth of business and thousands of
jobs as casinos open in surrounding
states, and the sluggish economy has
gamblers spending less freely.
Sowithunioncontracts withnineof the
11casinos expiring on Thursday, both the
casinos and the workers are trying to
make up lost ground at the others ex-
pense.
The union, Local 54 of Unite-HERE,
has come out swinging, accusing casinos
of wanting to institute a sharecropper
economy, a loaded term in the majority
African-American city thats also the na-
tions second-largest gambling resort. It
has picketedonecasinothreetimes, hand-
ed out leaflets on the Boardwalk urging
customersnot topatronizegamblinghalls
that mistreat workers, and told conven-
tion groups to take their business else-
where.
So far the effort has resulted in three
canceled conventions at Resorts Casino
Hotel, the casino the union has gone after
the hardest for the drastically reducedsal-
aries it paid its workers after buying the
struggling property inDecember andsav-
ing it from closing.
But one Resorts executive says the
union is on a crazy path of self-destruc-
tion that fails to recognize the industrys
ongoing hard times.
It has been the unions most aggressive
stance since 2004, when it went on strike
for 34 days before reaching a new deal.
Andwhile noone is talkingabout another
strikejust yet, unionpresident BobMcDe-
vitt freely admits the union is out to show
its muscle as talks remain bogged down.
Weve had it, said McDevitt, whose
union represents 14,000 housekeepers,
food and beverage servers, janitors and
other service workers.
Resorts is one of two casinos not in-
volved in contract talks, but McDevitt
said its cost cutting has influenced the
contract proposals of the other casinos,
which are looking to reduce pay by $3 an
hour.
In addition, McDevitt said, the casinos
want unionmemberstostart contributing
for the first time toward the cost of their
healthandpensionbenefits. Over thepast
sevenyears, workers basepayhasrisenby
only 55 cents an hour because the union
hasbeenadamant about protectinghealth
benefits, McDevitt said.

S&P 400
(mid caps)
-17%
Francesca Levy, Elizabeth Gramling AP SOURCE: FactSet
Mid-sized companies are worth a
look when stocks are volatile. But many
investors dont realize that mid caps
offer the growth potential of small
companies as well as the stability of
larger ones. So they tend to avoid the
stocks when the market falls. Thats why
the S&P 400 Mid Cap index has fallen
16 percent since its recent high on July
22. The S&P 500 has fallen 14 percent.
But mid caps are cheap: the S&P 400 is
trading at only 13 times what analysts
expect it to earn in the next year. Thats
down from 17 on July 22. These are
three of the best-performing stocks in
the mid cap index since July 22.
Advance Auto Parts (AAP) +8% $60.41 $49.5072.32 14 $4.5 billion
Advance has thrived in a slowing economy as people have saved money by fixing their own cars. Its second-
quarter income rose 12 percent and surprised investors. Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter thinks Advance will
rise 16 percent to $70 in the next 12 months because investors expect the economy to remain weak.
Eastman Kodak (EK) +22% 3.05 1.755.95 lost money $821 million
Kodak has fallen 30 percent in two years as it has struggled to adapt to the growth of digital cameras. Its stock
jumped when investors learned it might sell its 1,100 patents, which analysts think could be worth $500 million
to $3 billion. Selling its patents could earn the company more than its entire market value.
Hansen Natural (HANS) +7% 86.22 44.5090.24 31 $7.6 billion
Hansen said it had $484 million in sales of its Monster brand drinks in the second quarter, a 28 percent
increase from the previous year. Hanson isnt the only energy-drink maker, but many of its competitors target
only young men. Hansen has won customers by selling zero-calorie and low-carb drinks to women.

Q: I have high cho-
lesterol but cannot
tolerate any statin
medications, in-
cluding Zocor, Lip-
itor and Pravastatin
due to severe mus-
cle pain and
cramps.
Ive also tried taking them with
CoQ10 supplements, but that didnt
work either. I cant tolerate niacin.
My doctor is worried that Im
going to have a heart attack if I
dont take something. What can I
do?
M.F., Northfield, N.J.
A: It sounds like any of the sta-
tins taken daily are not going to be
tolerated. Youve already tried add-
ing the over-the-counter supple-
ment Coenzyme Q10, which does
help some folks offset muscle aches
and pains that statins may cause. It
works by giving your mitochondria
(produce the energy to power cells)
a bit of octane boosting effect.
In cases like yours, Id suggest
400mg per day of CoQ10.
Since statins are the most effec-
tive evidence-based treatment for
the prevention and treatment of
heart disease and stroke, rather
than abandoning them altogether, I
would suggest that you see if you
can tolerate a long acting statin
drug like Lipitor or Crestor taken
only once a week at its starting
dose.
There is evidence (American
Journal of Cardiology; Feb. 1, 2009)
that once a week Crestor is safe,
generally tolerated and effective in
previously statin-intolerant folks
like you. While not as effective as
daily dosing, the study showed a 17
percent in total cholesterol, a 23
percent reduction in LDL bad
cholesterol and a 5 percent in-
crease in HDL good cholesterol.
If thats tolerated and your LDL
cholesterol is still too high, Id then
try to increase to twice a week and
reassess tolerability and lab results.
If thats tolerated and your LDL is
still not to goal, Id wait about 3
months and then try increasing the
frequency to three times a week
and see how it goes. Ive even had
statin-intolerant folks like yourself
do okay on every other day dosing
with nearly the same LDL, triglyce-
ride and HDL results as the daily
dosing when using a long-acting
statin like Lipitor or Crestor (but
not shorter-acting statins like Pra-
vastatin or Zocor).
Weekly, bi-weekly or otherwise,
the bottom line is that anything
you can do to improve your choles-
terol levels beyond what diet and
exercise can do will help reduce
your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Thirty years ago the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Preventions Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report re-
ported the first cases of Pneu-
mocystis pneumonia inyoung
gay men and marked the offi-
cial beginning of what would
become the AIDS epidemic in
the United States. Today the
treatment, perception and
scope of the disease has
changed drastically. The fact
remains, however, that when
left untreated and undiag-
nosed, HIV/AIDS can be
overpowering and deadly.
HIV, or Human Immuno-
deficiency Virus, can lead to
Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome, or AIDS. The
HIV/AIDS virus attacks and
weakens the immune system,
the bodys defense mecha-
nism that wards off bacteria,
viruses and other infectious
diseases. A weakened im-
mune system can leave the
body vulnerable to many oth-
er life-threatening sicknesses
including cancers. Weight
loss, lack of energy, fevers and
sweating are a fewof the early
symptoms of HIV/AIDS.
Despite advances in treat-
ments and medicines, no one
should become complacent
about HIV/AIDS. There is no
cure for the HIV infection.
Treatment spans a lifetime.
Andrew Buleza, president
and co-founder of WE CARE,
a Wilkes-Barre-based AIDS
support group, was diag-

Body mass index and waist
circumference were examin-

Black Womens Health Study
and had never smoked and
didnt have cardiovascular
disease or cancer at the be-
ginning of the study.
In 13 years of follow-up, re-

r. Mehmet Oz better
known as Dr. Oz ap-
peared on The Oprah
Winfrey Show and launched
his own syndicated show in
2009 as a way of spreading
useful medical information to
millions of people. He never
realized that an economic col-
lapse would make his show a
primary diagnostic source for
many of his viewers.
We did a free clinic last year in
Houston and 90 percent of the people
in that clinic had jobs. Theyre work-
ing, but they have no benefits, Dr.
Oz says during an interview at the Be-
verly Hilton. So Ive changed. I
thought I was just talking to the walk-
ing well, but I now realize we are the
primary source of health information
for a large population who doesnt
have insurance.
Dr. Oz doesnt take that responsib-
ility lightly. Everything he says on
the show is checked and rechecked by
a group of medical students because
he knows people may act on his ad-
vice.
Dr. Ozs show began broadcasting
new episodes Monday. His show is
one of the many syndicated shows
bought by local stations to fill their
schedules when theres no network
programming.
The Dr. Oz show, which has won
two consecutive Emmys for outstand-
ing daytime talk show host, stands
out from other syndicated shows be-
cause of the health issues. Dr. Oz
makes house calls through your
TV sets.
Too often we see our doctors as
technicians and thats not a healthy
relationship, Dr. Oz says. Very over-

into that space. I cant do the oper-

PENNYIS A10-year-old
cocker spaniel who has had
her share of ear problems.
Pat isnt sure whether
Penny is having a problem
now, but she is noticing a
newbehavior. Penny is
rubbing the left side of her face on the carpet,
and shes started to do it more frequently.
Pat thinks Penny is specifically rubbing her
left eye. There is some redness around the eye
and the eyeball. Pat first thought Penny may
have gotten something on her face, but she no
longer believes that to be the case.
Well, Pat, there is a problem. Thats the easy
part. Determining the underlying problemis
the not-so-easy part.
I amgoing to assume that Penny is indeed
rubbing her eye and not some other area close
to it. So we can conclude there must be some-
thing irritating Pennys left eye or the lids
around it.
There are many possibilities that can cause
eye irritation. Penny may have damaged the
corneal layer of the eye, causing significant
discomfort. The cornea is a very specialized
layer of clear cells that covers the colored
through constant production within the eye
and constant drainage out of the eye. If this
systemis disturbed, usually affecting the drain-
age, the pressure within the eye can increase; if
left untreated, this increased pressure will
destroy the retina at the back of the eye, caus-
ing blindness.
This process can be extremely painful and is
considered an emergency.
In humans with acute glaucoma, the in-
crease in pressure and corresponding discom-
fort can be communicated to the doctor and
therapy immediately performed. Pets do not
usually do this, at least early on, although
Penny may have done so with her rubbing
behavior.
Penny needs immediate veterinary atten-
tion. If she does have glaucoma and there is
still sight present, we may be able to save her
eye. If not, she will need to have treatment
done to alleviate her pain. This might include
removal of her nonfunctioning eye.
portion of the eye, the iris. The pupil is behind
the cornea. Damage to the cornea can come
fromcontact with anything that can score or
puncture the tissue. Foreign material in the
eye is but one possibility.
Penny may have developed a conjunctivitis
or inflammation of the conjunctiva. The con-
junctiva is a very thin layer of tissue that cov-
ers the inside of the eyelids and eyeball itself. It
can become inflamed froman allergic re-
sponse or a bacterial infection or a combina-
tion of both. This list can go on, but there is
one possible cause that is potentially very
serious and could lead to blindness. Cocker
spaniels are a high-incidence breed for this
disease.
Penny may have glaucoma. Glaucoma oc-
curs because of increased pressure within the
eye. The eye is actually filled with a viscous
fluid that supports its round structure. The
fluid is maintained at a constant pressure

With hundreds of portable re-
usable water bottles on the mar-
ket, choosing one depends on
what you need it for (a workout,
cycling, desk duty), how you sip
(via straw, spout, etc.) and
whether you like glass, stainless
steel or plastic.
Once youve chosen a bottle,
though, treating it right and
keeping it clean is crucial to
keeping you healthy -- especially
during warm humid weather
that encourages bacteria growth.
Have you left a sports bottle
half filled in a hot car or stashed
it in a damp place (read: sweaty
gym bag) or forgotten it for days
with leftover juice or sports
drink dribbled all over the
mouthpiece? Bacteria loves that,
creating bad smells and bad
tastes.
People have to remind them-
selves that those bottles are just
like their glasses and plates and
other dishware at home, says
Dr. Georges Benjamin, who
heads the Washington, D.C.-
based American Public Health
Association. They need to be
cleaned.
Once a day, you should take it
home and clean it out, he says,
and hot soapy water will do the
job.
Regularly washing the bottle is
important, especially if its held
something sticky (juice or sports
drink) or pulpy.
And while some newbottle de-
signs separate in the middle for
easy cleaning, if a bottle doesnt
and you cant get your fingers in
there, says Benjamin, you may
need a brush or other utensil to
actually clean the places in the
corners, particularly in the bot-
tom and around the tops and the
insides of the lids.
Dont stop there, he adds:
Some come with their own
straws and youve got to clean
those as well.
But its just water, you grum-
ble. Evenwithplainwater, if you
drink half of the water and you
leave it inthe hot car, that toocan
run the risk of bacteria growing.
Your mouth has got lots of
germs, says Benjamin. It may
not be a big risk, but theres cer-
tainly a risk there.
Drink up, scrub up: Wash portable water bottle daily

A few bottle-cleaning caveats from
Dr. Georges Benjamin.
Brushes: Use a brush if you
cant reach all areas of a water
bottle with your fingers.
Dry them well: Make sure
youre using a clean cloth or paper
towel. If you can, air dry them.
Dishwasher tip 1: If it doesnt
say dishwasher safe, dont put it
in the dishwasher. If its plastic,
you can deform it, it will melt and
it wont fit right, he says, of a
bottles seals and lids.
Dishwasher tip 2: Sometimes
temperatures are such that some
chemicals (can) leach out and that
can be a health hazard.
And if youre concerned about
plastics, consider this caveat from
Consumer Reports: Check your
reusable water bottles to see
whether theyre polycarbonate. If
they are, or if youre not sure,
replace them with stainless steel
or glass-lined bottles.

Andrewtakes twotothree pills in
the morning and two to three
pills in the evening, a sign that
treatments and medicines are ad-
vancing.
But as new advances in medi-
cinearrive, thepriceof that medi-
cation rises. A joint study by top
researchteams at Johns Hopkins,
Cornell, Boston and Harvard uni-
versities concluded that the life-
time cost of fighting HIV can re-
ach nearly $618,900, with pre-
scriptions composing 70 percent
of those costs.
State and federal funds allow
Buleza to be able to afford his
medication. Atripla, a medica-
tion he currently takes, claims to
be as powerful as three HIV pills
in one dose, according to the
manufactures website. The med-
ication leaves Buleza dizzy and
exhausted for about 6-8 hours, a
side effect that he has learned to
cope with by taking it right be-
fore bed.
The results speak for them-
selves. Once having weighed a
mere 97 pounds, Buleza is now a
healthy 150 pounds due in large
part to proper medication.
When diagnosed in1982, Bule-
za said one milliliter of my
blood, the size of a pin head, con-
tained 445,000 copies of AIDS.
Now I have none. People arent
dying like they used to.
Know your status
Individuals who are unaware
they have HIV/AIDS are at the
greatest risk because the ther-
apies and medications that can
lead to better health and an ex-
tended life are not accessed.
Knowledge may also prevent the
disease from being transmitted
sexually to another partner, caus-
ing statistics to rise.
At the end of 2006, an estimat-
ed1,106,400 people in the United
States were living with the HIV
infection, with21percent undiag-
nosed a number that rose from
an estimated 800,000 in1998, ac-
cording to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention. Al-
though the numbers infected are
growing, in the last 10 years,
there are more ways than ever to
combat the disease. Testing and
prevention are just two methods
used to slowthe spread of HIV in
the United States.
The main key is to be tested.
According to the CDC, every per-
sonbetweenthe ages of 13 and64
years oldshouldbe testedat least
once in their life. Those who are
at greater risk or have parents
with the virus should be tested
once a year.
Testing facilities keep patients
anonymous andresults canbeob-
tained within one to two weeks.
The most common HIV tests use
bloodor saliva totest for antibod-
ies that are produced by the im-
mune system once HIV enters
the body. The tests are pain free,
and there are rapid HIVtests that
can generate results in mere min-
utes. All positive tests are fol-
lowed up by a mandatory second
test for confirmation.
The next steps are finding
treatment and support.
The Wyoming Valley Aids
Council (WVAC) offers a buddy
system that places newly diag-
nosed individuals with those in
the community who have been
longtime survivors of HIV/AIDS.
The volunteers help individuals
deal with the lifelong commit-
ment. The program helps estab-
lishhealthy relationships andcan
also be a lifeline for those
shunned by their families and
friends.
People with HIV want to be
around other people with HIV,
said a spokesperson for WVAC
case management who asked to
remain anonymous. There are
many myths out there and we
hook people up with long-term
survivors to help dispel those
myths.
One of the easiest ways to quell
myths is to become knowledge-
able about HIV/AIDS. Under-
standing how the virus is con-
tracted, how to prevent it and
what to do if you think you have
been exposed are key. Knowl-
edge is power. It can save your
life.
AIDS
Continued fromPage 1C
Abstain from sexual activity or be in a long-term mutually
monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner.
Limit your number of sex partners.
Correct and consistent condom use. Latex condoms are
highly effective at preventing the transmission of HIV and
some other sexually transmitted diseases. Natural or
lambskin condoms do not provide sufficient protection
against HIV infection.
Get tested and treated for STDs and insist that your part-
ners do, too.
Male circumcision has also been shown to reduce the risk
of HIV transmission during vaginal sex.
Do not inject drugs. If you cannot stop injecting drugs,
use clean needles and works when injecting and get coun-
seling.
Obtain medical treatment immediately if you think you
were exposed to HIV. Sometimes, HIV medications can
prevent infection if they are started quickly. This is called
post-exposure prophylaxis.
Participate in risk reduction programs. The local health
department can provide referrals.

ation on you, but I can give the
confidence to ask questions
and prepare yourself mentally.
Plus, Ive got better visuals
than your local doctor.
Dr. Oz wants to convey how
important it is to pay attention
to health.
After putting off getting a co-
lonoscopy, when he finally did
have the test, the doctors
found a pre-cancerous polyp.
I now spend a lot of time
trying to figure out why I was
so stupid and didnt do what I
tell everyone else to do, Dr.
Oz said. What I realized is
that people dont do some-
thing because of what they
know but how they feel. I felt
good so I kept putting the tests
off.
Hes been treated and, ex-
cept for some weight loss, is
doing fine. The lesson he
learned from his own medical
experience: No matter how
much information he gives
out, it means nothing unless
the practices are put to use.
Thats why this season he will
push even harder to make his
medical points connect to the
audience.
OZ
is considered overweight, and
30 and above is considered
obese. For overweight women
the risk of death from cardio-
vascular disease was two
times higher, and for obese
women it was three times
higher compared with normal-
weight women.
Having a higher BMI was as-
sociated with a greater risk of
death from cardiovascular dis-
ease, but not from cancer
having a BMI of 35 or higher
was connected with a higher
risk of death from other caus-
es. Excluding women who had
a waist size of less than 26
inches, every five-unit gain in
waist circumference was asso-
ciated with a 12 percent in-
crease in the risk of death dur-
ing the study period. For wom-
en who were not obese, having
a larger waist was still linked
with a higher risk of dying.
While BMI is generally used
by health professionals to
chart weight, waist circumfer-
ence is another tool often em-
ployed to determine if some-
one is overweight or obese.
Visceral or abdominal fat is
thought to carry more health
hazards, since in some studies
it has been linked to a greater
risk of Type 2 diabetes and car-
diovascular disease.
The present findings indi-
cate that the risk of death in
black women increases with
increasing BMI of 25 or high-
er, similar to the pattern in
white populations, said lead
author Deborah Boggs in a
news release. Our findings
highlight the importance for
women to maintain a healthy
weight and keep extra inches
off the waist in order to de-
crease their risk of death.
The study was released
Wednesday in the New En-
gland Journal of Medicine.
OBESITY
In 13 years of follow-up, re-
searchers found that for wom-
en who had a BMI of 20 or
higher, every five-unit rise in
BMI was linked with an 18 per-
cent increase in the risk of
death during the study period.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Your
response to Not
Ungrateful in San
Diego (July 13)
missed the mark.
Her boyfriend of
eight months is
flying in business
class to France, but hes only pay-
ing for a coach ticket for her? I was
a divorce lawyer for 31 years (now
retired), so I know a few things about
relationships.
While Claude had no obligation
to pay her way to France, once he
invited her, he displayed a troubling
character flaw. If he was going to pay
her way, he should have paid for her
to sit with him in business class. Her
seat in coach is a warning sign: Shell
always be in the back of the plane, the
bus or his life. Of course buying busi-
ness class seats for the two of them
is expensive, but if hes going to take
her to his familys chateau, he should
treat her as an equal or not do it
at all.
Paul in Saratoga, Calif.
Dear Paul: I appreciate your view-
point, one which is shared by many
other readers. The responses to that
letter were an interesting mix. My
newspaper readers comment:
Dear Abby: Not Ungrateful is un-
believable! My long-legged husband
cannot sit in coach unless he is in
an exit row, and those seats arent
always easy to get. Because Im short,
I dont need the extra space and, if I
am assigned an exit seat, I gladly give
it up to a tall person. That woman
will be in France with her boyfriend. I
would go in the BAGGAGE compart-
ment for such an opportunity.
Happy to Trade Places
Dear Abby: A less-expensive option
for long-legged fliers is to buy an ex-
tra coach seat. Claude could purchase
three seats together. That way he
could sit sideways and put items in
the central seat. Neither my wife nor
I have long legs, but we fly this way
for comfort on long flights.
Stephen in Tucson, Ariz.
Dear Abby: When Claude offered to
treat her to the trip, he put himself in
the role of a host. A host does not
treat himself to steak while offering
hamburger to his guest. I am accom-
panying my husband on a business
trip. His company will pay for him to
fly business class and I will purchase
a coach ticket for myself. My husband
insists on flying coach with me, say-
ing that a gentleman would never fly
in a different class than his wife.
Were in It Together
Dear Abby: My husband always sits
in business class while I sit in coach
when we travel long distances. He
has a back problem and I dont. Why
spend a lot of money on something
so fleeting? We have plenty of time
together once we arrive at our desti-
nation. I have never thought of myself
as subservient just practical.
Enjoys Life in Coach
Dear Abby: By all means, Not
Ungrateful should go to France as
planned. Her seatmate in coach could
be a delightful person maybe even
someone with whom shed rather
spend the rest of her life.
Bettie in Albuquerque
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Boyfriend who wont pay for seat upgrade on plane is lacking in class
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
plans are more ambitious than
you first realized, though they
are still very much within the
realm of possibility. You will need
a lot of help.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
will have limits placed on what
you can and cant do. The funny
part is that you actually wel-
come the rules and impositions
because you want to be chal-
lenged. How else are you going
to become great?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll see
10 possible solutions to a prob-
lem, while the average person
sees maybe one. So speak up.
The world needs to hear your
advice, even if they dont take it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When
you look around your home, you
see a lot of things you really
need and a lot of things you
dont. Instead of increasing the
number of things you own, scale
down the number of things you
want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wont
be worried about your image or
what others are thinking about
you. Youll have an impact on
someones life, and that makes
you feel absolutely marvelous.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is
said that misfortune brings a
fool to his senses. But you dont
have to be a fool to receive the
wakeup call. Minor accidents, for
instance, a slight slip or spill, will
remind you to slow down.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is
such a thing as being too diplo-
matic. A line will be drawn today,
and youll be moved to take a
stand. You will have the opportu-
nity to declare a loyalty.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do
something out of the ordinary.
Youll be in a social mood,
though you might have to initi-
ate the fun to make it happen.
Call a friend to go bargain hunt-
ing or to take a bike ride on a
scenic route.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Because of your selflessness,
youll make a favorable impres-
sion on someone interesting.
This person will, at some later
date, help you out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your
excitement over a project will be
contagious. Make sure that you
also have a specific plan. Work it
through on your own before you
share it. Your instructions will be
followed to the letter.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
will look back to when a problem
first began. You might recognize
that it started with circumstanc-
es very much like the ones you
encounter today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
dont want to be the bad guy,
but someone might put you
in that position anyway. Its
because you have such a soft
way of delivering the hard facts.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 13).
Youll have more time with
someone who makes your heart
beat a little faster. Take in new
scenery in October. Unexpected
visitors bring excitement at the
end of 2011. January ushers in a
different routine and increased
energy and vitality. Your suc-
cess will be intertwined with the
success of family. Cancer and
Capricorn people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 3,
20 and 16.
