share an appreciation for fine

John is a remarkable man,
McDowell said. And I mean be-
yond his business knowledge.
He is a very, very bright man.
Certainly the Wilkes-Barre
native was smart enough to par-
lay a one-truck delivery oper-
ation into Valley Distributing
and Storage Co., with locations
in Wilkes-Barre, Laflin and
Scranton. Passan dedicated
part of his fortune to a private
foundation that has donated
money to Hershey College,
Wilkes University and other in-
stitutions.
After the ceremony officially
dubbing the building John J.
Passan Hall, the entrepreneur
said his commitment to medi-
cine and particularly nursing is
deeply personal; two family
members endured serious ill-
ness, ordeals made much easier
by the compassionate care of
nurses.
The doctor gives you a pre-
scription and leaves. But the
nurse stays, he said.
Passan said he decided to
make the donation almost as
soon as he saw what the univer-
sity had done with the former
Commonwealth Telephone
building on Lake Street, incor-
porating state-of-the-art simu-
lations and other equipment to
train students in four majors:
nursing, speech language pa-
thology, occupational therapy
and physical therapy.
Those four majors have com-
bined enrollment of 894 stu-
dents studying in the newbuild-
ing this upcoming school year.
The Passan Foundation grant
will not go to the $6 million cen-
ter that bears the family name,
University Spokesman Paul
Kryzwicki said. The facility has
been paid for. It will go toward
ongoing or planned construc-
tion elsewhere on campus. Half
the money is available now,
while the other half will be pro-
vided within 10 years.

Kadluboski, however, had his
own interpretation as to why the
initial case was dismissed. He
says Kane has it out for him be-
cause of verbal confrontations Ka-
dluboski has had with Wilkes-
Barre City Council Chairwoman
Kathy Kane, the district judges
wife.
Kane should have recused
himself from the hearing, Kadlu-
boski said. He put my life in dan-
ger when he dismissed the case
and released this man who threat-
ened to kill me with a razor blade
knife.
Kadluboski said he was notified
of the mans release through a vic-
tim notification service he sub-
scribed to after Masterman was
arrested on Aug. 13.
Kadluboski further stated Kane
has a conflict due to a letter the
district judge mailed to him
last September warning him
about possible harassment
charges.
During a city council meet-
ing last year, Kadluboski di-
recting his comments to Kathy
Kane said, How about your
drunken husband? Look at
what he does to people. Thats
all he is, a freakin drunk.
Kane said Wednesday he did
send Kadluboski a letter plac-
ing him on notice about mak-
ing defamatory remarks at city
council meetings.
Mr. Kadluboski, I put you
on notice that you may be
charged with violation of the
crimes code harassment by
communications ...You are out
of order and I will not put up
with your antics. One more
outburst without proof and you
will be charged, Kane wrote to
Kadluboski.
Kane said he dismissed the
case when the arresting officer
did not appear for the prelimi-
nary hearing. Kane said Thurs-
day he was not aware Kadlu-
boski was the alleged victim
when he dismissed the assault
charges. If he had, Kane said he
would have recused himself.
Ill make sure I wont pre-
side over that case when it is
called, Kane said.
Masterman was arraigned by
District Judge Diana Malast in
Plains Township. He was jailed
at the Luzerne County Correc-
tional Facility for lack of
$20,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Aug. 30 in Cen-
tral Court.

WILKES-BARRE Minutes
after prosecutors withdrewmost
drug-related charges against
Amanda Bowman on Thursday,
she testified that she killed a
masked gunman inside her Hun-
lock Township trailer in Febru-
ary.
Bowman, 29, was not charged
in the fatal shooting of Robert
Muntz, 44, on Feb. 8. Luzerne
County District Attorney Jac-
queline Musto Carroll said the
deadly shooting was justifiable
self-defense.
Despite the finding by the dis-
trict attorney, attorney Allyson
Kacmarski, representing There-
sa Daniels, who faced charges in
the incident, took a jab at the in-
vestigation during one of several
confrontations with assistant
district attorneys Jarrett Ferenti-
no and Shannon Crake during a
preliminary hearing before Dis-
trict Judge John Hasay.
Daniels, 23, and 17-year-old
David Alan Rausch Jr., who is
represented by attorney Joseph
Sklarosky Sr., were charged by
state police at Wyoming and
Shickshinny with burglary and
assault charges for the alleged
home invasion at the Hunlock
Township trailer on Old Tavern
Road.
Investigators allege Muntz,
Daniels and Rausch went to the
trailer so Muntz could collect
money and property that Bow-
mans boyfriend, Jeff Laton, had
taken.
A masked Muntz, armed with
a stolen .22-caliber handgun,
stormed into the trailer and con-
fronteda sleepingLatonina bed-
room, investigators allege.
Bowman testified Laton
yelled at her to Shoot, baby,
shoot. Bowman said she fired
twoshots strikingMuntz once in
the head.
State police said that during
investigation of the deadly
shooting they discovered the
trailer was used to manufacture
methamphetamines.
During the preliminary hear-
ing for Daniels and Rausch, Kac-
marski asked Trooper Chris-
topher King if he knewif Daniels
had assaulted anyone inside the
house.
The question brought an ob-
jection by Crake, the assistant
district attorney.
Hasay inquired if Daniels is
charged with conspiracy to com-
mit criminal homicide.
Thats a charge a common-
wealth witness should be
charged with, Kacmarski re-
plied referring to Bowman. That
resulted in Ferentino raising his
hands and saying, Whoa,
whoa.
Daniels allegedly told King
she was in a car with Muntz and
Rausch and Muntz spotted La-
tons car parked in front of the
trailer. Muntz turnedaroundand
put a white maskonbefore going
into the trailer to speak with La-
ton.
Daniels claimed she only
stood at the front door only after
hearing four gunshots.
Denyse Sedorchuk, 35, testi-
fied she was awakened by the
front door being forced open and
three armed people wearing
masks. Sedorchuk did not posi-
tively identify Daniels and
Rausch, an issue that Kacmarski
raised during her request to dis-
miss the charges.
Hasay determined prosecu-
tors established a case against
Daniels and Rausch, sending ag-
gravated assault, burglary and
conspiracy charges against them
to Luzerne County Court.
Witness testifies she killed man
Outcome of other preliminary
hearings held Thursday for de-
fendants charged in their alleged
roles at a methamphetamine lab
at a Hunlock Township trailer on
Old Tavern Road. The meth lab
was discovered by state police at
Wyoming and Shickshinny in-
vestigating a deadly shooting at
the trailer on Feb. 8.
Jeffrey Thomas Laton, 40,
waived to Luzerne County Court
four counts each of possession
with intent to deliver a controlled
substance and possession of a
controlled substance, two counts
of criminal conspiracy, and one
count each of risking a catastro-
phe and illegal ownership of a
firearm.
Amanda Rose Bowman, 29, and
David Keith Kalbach, 38, waived a
single count of criminal conspir-
acy with intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance to county court.
Prosecutors withdrew four counts
each of possession with intent to
deliver a controlled substance
and possession of a controlled
substance, and one count each of
criminal conspiracy and risking a
catastrophe against Bowman and
Kalbach.
Rodney Allen Jones, 44, plead-
ed guilty to possession of drug
paraphernalia and sentenced to
six months probation. Prosecu-
tors withdrew five counts of pos-
session of a controlled substance
and four counts of possession
with intent to deliver a controlled
substance.
Prosecutors withdrew five
counts of possession of a con-
trolled substance, four counts of
possession with intent to deliver a

count of risking a catastrophe
against Denyse Lee Sedorchuk,
35.
Jerry Lee Drumm, 54, waived a
single count of illegal transfer of
firearms to Luzerne County
Court.

process, Atkins said. Then we
will determine if there will be any
new strategies or if the project
will remain as designed.
Atkins said people expressed
concerns about the reduction of
four lanes to two with turning
lanes. Others were concerned
about access to River Street, the
installation of medians and the
traffic signal system.
Tim Gilmour, president of
Wilkes University, said he wasnt
sure he knew enough about the
project.
But if it will quiet the traffic on
River Street, thenI amverymuch
in favor of it, he said.
Gilmour said Wilkes has 2,600
to 2,700 students on campus dai-
ly and 600 employees. He said
crossing River Street can be dan-
gerous with the present speed of
traffic.
Chris ODonnell, South River
Street, was concerned about nar-
rowing of the two lanes as traffic
enters from the Market Street
Bridge. Ted Patton, Kingston,
said he will have a difficult time
getting home because River
Street will be one lane for most of
his commute from South Wilkes-
BarretoMarket Street. Pat Parks,
coordinator of the Downtown
Wilkes-Barre Residents Associ-
ation, said slowing traffic is a
good idea, but she said she didnt
know who to address her ques-
tions to.

Driver gets jail for fatality
A
Philadelphia-area man once at the
center of a debate on cellphones
and driving will spend one to two years
in jail for his second fatal crash, this
time as he drove a loaded school bus.
Police say 39-year-old Frederick
Poust III hadnt slept for 24 hours when
he rolled through 10 stops signs and
plowed into a car near school, killing
the cars passenger.
The Schwenksville man, while using
a cellphone, also caused a 1999 crash
that killed a toddler and fueled debate
on driving with cellphones.
Poust apologized Thursday as he was
sentenced for vehicular homicide in

Taylor of Gilbertsville.
Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle
says the oncoming car had no lights on
and was hard to see on the gray winter

Anthony ready for probation
Florida authorities said Thursday
that Casey Anthony was polite and
cooperative during a meeting with her
probation officer and pledged to meet
the conditions of her one-year proba-
tion for check fraud.
The 25-year-old Anthony, who has
remained hidden since a jury acquitted
her of killing her daughter, met with
the officer for more than an hour
Wednesday evening at an undisclosed
location as she begin her probation.
But citing death threats against her,
state officials said they will not reveal
her location, including the county
where she will serve her probation for
the unrelated charge.
She told the probation officer that
she intended to do well on probation,
she was polite and cooperative, said
Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for
the Florida Department of Corrections.
Anthony has been in hiding since
being set free last month after a jury
found her not guilty of murder.

Evacuees return after fire
Thousands of evacuees began return-

year-old Mary-Jane Coon, who was
evacuated along with her husband with
just the clothes on their backs two days
ago. Were going home right now. My

Lincoln Fire Chief Dave Whitt said
the threat of a major explosion no
longer existed in the Northern Cali-

crews allowed the blaze from the tank-
er to burn itself out.

TRIPOLI, Libya One thousand re-
bels bombarded buildings filled with re-
gime fighters hiding amid civilians in a
ferocious battle Thursday for Moam-
mar Gadhafis last major stronghold in
Tripoli. The Libyan leader, still in hid-
ing, sent a new message calling on his
supporters to kill the rebels.
The bullet-ridden bodies of three
Gadhafi soldiers in military uniforms
lay on the ground outside a fire station
in the battle-scarred Abu-Salim neigh-
borhood and a few bodies of rebel sol-
diers were wrapped in blankets nearby.
The sewers ran red with blood.
Deafening explosions of outgoing
mortars andthe whistle of sniper fire fil-
led air clogged with smoke from burn-
ing buildings and weapons fire. Amoth-
er ran out of one the buildings under
siege, screaming for first aid for her
woundedson. Behindher, thebuildings
glass windows were shatteredandblack
smoked poured out of a burning apart-
ment. Amid the din, the call to prayer
wafted out from neighborhood
mosques.
Mahmoud Bakoush, a rebel com-
mander at the site, said there were ru-
mors that one of Gadhafis sons might
be inthe buildings, but that was not con-
firmed. The battles raged for at least
four hours, then stopped at sundown.
Abu Salim, which is adjacent to Gad-
hafis Bab al-Aziziya compound seized
by rebels on Tuesday, is thought to be
the last major hotbed of regime bri-
gades in Tripoli. After hours of fierce
fighting, Associated Press reporters at
the scene said rebels were making pro-
gress pushing them out. Many of the
fighters are believed to have moved to
Abu SalimfromBab al-Aziziya after the
compoundwas capturedandransacked.
The rebels are strugglingtotake com-
plete control of Tripoli, four days after
they swept into the capital and sparked
the collapse of Gadhafis regime. The
autocrat has refused to surrender and
has vowed fromhiding to fight on until
victory or martyrdom. The rebel lead-
ership has offered a $2 million bounty
on Gadhafis head.
The rebels knowthey will not be able
to declare a full victory in the 6-month-
old civil war until Gadhafi is either cap-
tured or killed.

WASHINGTONAmericans
views on the economy have
dimmed this summer. But so far,
the growing pessimism doesnt
seem to be taking a toll on Presi-
dent Barack Obamas re-election
prospects.
More people now believe the
country is headed in the wrong
direction, a new Associated
Press-GfK poll
shows, and con-
fidence in Oba-
mas handling
of the economy
has slipped
from just a few
months ago, no-
tably among
fellow Demo-
crats.
The survey
found that 86
percent of
adults see the
economy as poor, up from 80
percent in June. About half 49
percent said it worsened just
in the past month. Only 27 per-
cent responded that way in the
June survey.
That cant be good news for a
president revving up his re-elec-
tion campaign. Yet there are sev-
eral hopeful signs for Obama.
Despite the perception of a
weakening recovery, there has
been no significant change in the
number of people who say he de-
serves re-election: 47 percent as
opposed to 48 percent two
months ago. The not-so-good
news for Obama: Thats a statisti-
cal dead heat with those who fa-
vor a change in the White House.
And more Americans still
blame former President George
W. Bush rather than Obama for
the economic distress. About 31
percent put the bulk of the blame
onObama, while51percent point
to his Republican predecessor.

that sorting and digitizing just
the bankruptcy cases alone
would cost tens of millions of dol-
lars. None of the civil or criminal
cases up for destruction went to
trial, and docket sheets that list
basic information such as names
of defendants and plaintiffs will
be saved from each case.
But such reassurances havent
allayed concerns of some of those
whose work relies on the paper
documents.
Cornell Law School professor Theo-
dore Eisenberg said its precisely the
mundane, everyday records with no
clear historical significance that are so
critical to establishing legal trends upon
which court policy is often based.
Something really important will be
lost here, said Eisenberg, a former clerk
at the U.S. Supreme Court for the late
Justice Earl Warren. We would lose any
ability to assess trends over time. This is
not just a matter of history, it is a matter
of influencing basic policy today.
CHICAGO Wrestling with the chal-
lenges of documents in the digital age,
U.S. officials are destroying millions of
paper federal court records to save stor-
age costs but the effort is raising the
ire of some historians, private detectives
and others who heavily rely on the files.
The U.S. National Archives and Re-
cords Administration says at least 10
million bankruptcy case files and several
million district court files from between
1970 and 1995 will be shredded, pound-
ed to pulp and recycled. Only a small
percentage of files designated as histor-
ically valuable will be kept in storage.
Federal archivists spent years consult-
ing legal scholars, historians and others
about which files to purge after realizing
Christina Boyd, who teach-
es public law at the University
at Buffalo, said only about 2
percent of federal court cases
ever make it to trial and little
research has been done to ex-
plain why that percentage
dropped from about 12 per-
cent in the 1960s. One ques-
tion, she said, is whether fed-
eral judges began pushing set-
tlements in the 1970s and
1980s as public aide to indi-
gents dramatically increased, possibly to
the advantage of corporations or other
institutions being sued by the individu-
als.
This was a crucial period in legal his-
tory, she said. We need to understand
the trends and that means looking at
files that could be going away.
Preparing for this first-of-its-kind de-
struction, federal archivists decided to
keep thousands of records deemed his-
torically relevant or that fell into other
categories.

BEIRUT A renowned po-
litical cartoonist whose draw-
ings expressed Syrians frus-
trated hopes for change was
grabbed after he left his studio
early Thursday and beaten by
masked gunmen who broke his
hands and dumped him on a
road outside Damascus.
One of Syrias most famous
artists, Ali Ferzat, 60, earned
international recognition and
the respect of many Arabs with
stinging caricatures that infu-
riated dictators including Iraqs
Saddam Hussein, Libyas
Moammar Gadhafi and, partic-
ularly in recent months, Syrias
autocratic Assad family.
He lay badly bruised in a hos-
pital bed Thursday evening
with his hands swathed in ban-
dages, a stark reminder that no
Syrian remains immune to a
brutal crackdown on a 5-month
anti-government uprising.
Ferzat remembers the gun-
men telling him that this is
just a warning, as they beat
him, a relative told The Associ-
ated Press.
We will break your hands so
that youll stop drawing, the
masked men said, according to
the relative, who spoke anony-
mously for fear of retaliation.
Before inheriting Syrias
presidency from his father in
2000, Bashar Assad, a British-
trained eye doctor, used to visit
Ferzats exhibitions and offer
encouraging words, the artist
has said.
When the new president
opened Syria to reforms, Ferzat
was allowed to publish the
countrys first private newspa-
per indecades, a satirical week-
ly called The Lamplighter.
The paper was an instant hit,
with copies of each issue sell-
ing out a fewhours after hitting
the stands. It was soon shut
down, however, as Assad began
cracking down on dissent and
jailing critics after the brief,
heady period known as the Da-
mascus Spring quickly lost
steam.
Ferzat became a vehement
critic of the regime, particular-
ly after the military launched a
brutal crackdown on the coun-
trys protest movement.

WILKES-BARRE For 65
years, Harrolds Pharmacy has
operated on Old River Road in
Wilkes-Barre.
The neighborhood pharmacy
has served its clients in a num-
ber of capacities including a
newly formed wellness center
and now hopes to expand into a
larger, nearby building: the for-
mer Old River Road Bakery.
Pharmacy owner Bruce Lefko-
witz has been leaving a petition
for supporters to sign on the
store counter in hope of gaining
support to expand his family-
owned business.
Lefkowitz declined to com-
ment Thursday, but in the pet-
ition he wrote that because of
loyal patronage of customers
over the years, the business
needs more space.
Our commitment to South
Wilkes-Barre remains strong
and our priority is to find a way
to expand, right here in the
neighborhood, where we be-
long.
Lefkowitz says in the petition
that his family would like to re-
habilitate the former bakery,
creating a new and improved
full-service retail pharmacy,
with many other ancillary
health services that will benefit
the community.
The Wilkes-Barre Area School
District earlier this month for-
gave an estimated $440,000 in
back taxes in an effort to get the
property back on the tax rolls.
There is still an outstanding
$13,000 in back taxes owed on
the former bakery by the city of
Wilkes-Barre, which owns it
now, to keep the property out of
a Sept. 22 back-tax auction, Lu-
zerne County commissioners
have said.
Mayor Tom Leighton said
Thursday the city will be adver-
tising the property after Labor
Day and that anyone is permit-
ted to bid.
Lefkowitz says in the petition
that in the coming weeks the
pharmacy will present a propos-
al to the city, the school board
and commissioners in hopes of
obtaining approval of the sale.
Our belief is that such a
transaction would allow Har-
rolds Pharmacy to flourish
while augmenting the revitaliza-
tion of our local community,
Lefkowitz wrote.
The pharmacy is seeking the
signatures to show that the area
supports the pharmacys expan-
sion, and has already garnered
dozens of signatures.
Previous individuals interest-
ed in purchasing the shuttered
building included local towing
company owner Leo A. Glodzik
III in late 2009.
But, the city rescinded its
original sale of property to Glod-
zik after complaints that the
property wasnt publicly adver-
tised to ensure it had obtained
the highest offer from prospec-
tive buyers. Glodzik, owner of
LAG Towing, had offered to pay
$38,000 for the property.
Tyler and Antonia Hammond
filed suit against the city, Leight-
on and city attorney William
Vinsko in 2009, alleging they
conspired to remove the defunct
bakery from a tax sale to pave
the way for the sale to Glodzik,
who was a private client of
Leightons real estate business
and Vinskos law firm.

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Harrolds Pharmacy at
179 Old River Road,

WILKES-BARRE An Ed-
wardsville woman was sen-
tenced Thursday to 10 to 20
months in county prison on
charges she stole a pain killer
patch from a patient at the
nursing home where she
worked.
Donna Marie Williams, 39,
of Pugh Street, was sentenced
on charges of robbery, theft by
unlawful taking and harass-
ment by Luzerne County Judge
William Amesbury. Williams
was found guilty of the charges
by a Luzerne County jury in
June.
According to court papers,
on March 16, 2010, Helen Opsi-
tus told police a woman, later
identified as Williams, entered
her room at Tiffany Courts in
Kingston, held her down,
pulled her hair wrap over he
face and removed her Fentanyl
patch. Fentanyl is used to man-
age chronic pain.
Williams attorney, Michael
Kostelaba, filed a motion to
modify Williams sentence
shortly after she was sentenced
Thursday. Kostelaba said in
court papers that Williams
sentence should be reduced to
nine to 18 months in prison
because the robbery and theft
charge should have merged
together as one charge.
WILKES-BARRE Attor-
neys for a man charged with
using a hatchet to kill his girl-
friend filed court papers Thurs-
day requesting several pieces
of evidence should be preclud-
ed from being presented at
their clients Sept. 19 trial.
Joseph Albert and Erik Din-
gle said in court papers that
prosecutors should not be
allowed to introduce autopsy
photos of the victim, alleged
prior dental injures suffered by
the victim and the mention of
first-degree murder in their
clients trial.
John Stone, 59, is charged in
the September 2009 death of
Catherine Tabit, 37, inside his
Shickshinny home after the
two argued.
The attorneys said the pho-
tos are inflammatory and have
no evidentiary value, there is
no evidence Stone caused the
dental injuries to Tabit, and
there is no basis for their client
to face a first-degree murder
charge because Stones actions
were not willful, deliberate
and premeditated.

County council candidate
urges a vote for change
I
am running as an independent candi-
date for the new Luzerne County Coun-
cil to change the way we govern our-
selves.
I encourage all voters to learn about the
candidates and to vote for those who will
make tough decisions to change the way
our county government works by using
less politics and more independent think-
ing. Those people elected on Nov. 8 to the
council have the opportunity to start our
new county government by listening to the
citizens and to one another, by cooperating
to address tough issues and by working for
progress of all the people of the county.
That progress will be measured when the
new council selects a strong county man-
ager, improves the debt situation, passes a
realistic budget, confirms competent de-
partment heads and appoints good, honor-
able people to serve the public on author-
ities, boards and commissions.
A cooperative, honorable, independent-
minded county council is the key to effec-
tive and excellent county government. If
the council works together to solve tough
issues, it can serve as a model for our
elected officials at other levels of govern-
ment.
We can change how we govern our-
selves. Oct. 10 is the last day voters can
register to participate in the November
election. I urge everyone 18 and older to
register to vote, and vote as if our future
depends on it ... because it does.

Writer disputes editorial
on natural gas drilling
T
he Times Leaders editorial (Its drill
at will even minus a shill, Aug. 9)
demonstrated its unwillingness to
come to grips with the facts about respon-
sible American natural gas development.
While the editorial maintains that the
natural gas industry which has helped
create work for more than 141,000 Penn-
sylvanians, according to the state Depart-
ment of Labor and Industry does what
it wants, your readers should know that
Gov. Ed Rendell and the states former top
environmental regulator, John Hanger,
believe Pennsylvania has the strongest
enforcement program of any state with gas
drilling.
Rendell and Hanger strongly disagree
that there is lax regulation and oversight of
gas drilling in the commonwealth. Our
company, which has been operating in the
region for more than 30 years and pio-
neered the Marcellus, agrees.
Oddly, the editorial attempts to make
the case that out-of-state energy compa-
nies are getting a free pass to siphon the
prized fuel without putting any money
back into the state coffers. The facts, of
course, tell a starkly different story. In-
deed, our industry has generated more
than $1.1 billion in tax revenues since 2006
hardly a free pass, and far from a
spooky proposition for state taxpayers.
Like so many across the commonwealth,
my family settled in the region three gener-
ations ago. And Im fortunate to have the
opportunity to work and raise my children
here. Unsubstantiated, personal attacks
have no place in our dialogue about nat-
ural gas development. Your readers de-
serve better.

Writer says bakery deal
will only hurt taxpayers
O
n Aug. 5, a miscarriage of justice was
perpetrated on the taxpayers of the
Wilkes-Barre Area School District
when the board voted 7 to 1 to forgive
$440,000 in back taxes on the former Old
River Road Bakery property.
Ignoring pleas from myself and a few
other concerned citizens to reject Mayor
Tom Leightons presumptuous demand,
the board took another step backward in
its effort to restore public confidence
after the recent wave of corruption and
scandal that swept three directors from
office. The few conditions attached to the
agreement seemingly amount to nothing
more than a farce.
If perhaps the board would have stipulat-
ed the specifics of the sale more stringent-
ly, in terms of having the final say about
who buys the property and for how much,
the agreement would have been less outra-
geous. But when all is said and done, the
mayor apparently will have pulled off an-
other egregious coup and the taxpayers of
this district will once again get the short
end of the stick since somewhere down the
road we will have to compensate for this
huge debit.
In an ironic twist of this tale, I spoke out
at a July budget meeting, asking whether
the board could save money by closing
some of these tax-forgiveness loopholes
that it has arranged with the city. Vice
President Jim Fisher replied that the board
rarely, if ever, grants such exemptions. I
suppose it is now safe to say that this is a
bald-faced lie or Mr. Fisher and his col-
leagues are living in a parallel universe.
And what about the pie-in-the-sky prom-
ise of future development and the possibil-
ity that this property might successfully
return to the districts tax rolls? On more
than one occasion I tried to convey to the
board that it should be accountable to only
two groups: the taxpayers and the students
(not business interests and not certain
public officials). But, of course, the board
proved once again that it is out of touch
and oblivious to the financial travails of the
districts taxpayers.
If you are like me and feel an excruciat-
ing sense of frustration and anger over this
boards pandering to the mayor, if you feel

Wilkes-Barre
Cancer Institute to survey
residents in Shale region
T
he Northeast Regional Cancer Institute
recently received a grant from Penn-
sylvania to conduct a community
health survey in the states Marcellus Shale
region.
The study, which will be conducted by
Cancer Institute researchers, will docu-
ment the health of residents of Bradford,
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Pike,
Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Wayne and
Wyoming counties.
The goals of this study are to estimate
the prevalence of common medical condi-
tions among residents of counties where
natural gas production has begun or is
likely, as well as estimate the prevalence of
known health risk factors in this popula-
tion. In the coming weeks, approximately
500 adults will be randomly selected and
asked to complete a mail survey providing
demographic, health and residential in-
formation. By gathering data from repre-
sentative members of the public, studies
such as this help us understand the health
of our neighborhoods and develop pro-
grams to make where we live safer for our
children and grandchildren.
It is my hope that the community will be
willing to join with us and support this
research.
For more information, call 1-800-424-
6724. You also may find information about
the Cancer Institute at www.cancerne-

HE RESIGNATION of
Silicon Valleys rock
star CEO, Steve Jobs,
comes as no surprise
to the Apple faithful who have
been worrying about his medi-
cal condition and know how se-
riously he took his duties.
Jobs departure from the top
job at Apple is a loss for Silicon
Valley. But its also a loss for the
nation, which is in desperate
need of entrepreneurial leader-
ship to get us out of this eco-
nomic slump.
The iPhone isnt Dick Tracy
stuff. Its way beyond what any-
one dreamed of even five years
beforeit wasinvented. Anattrac-
tive, sleek phone, music player,
book reader, television, video li-
brary andsomuchmore inthe
palmof our hands and at a price
millions of Americans could af-
ford. This is the very definition
of genius.
And the iPhone isnt the only
device historians will recall
when Jobs legacy is chronicled.
The iMac, iPod and iPad are all
equally innovative and none
might equal the beloved Macin-
tosh, invented with Steve Woz-
niak, for pure creativity.
Jobs knew
failure as well
as he did suc-
cess. He was
unceremo-
niously re-
moved as
chairman of
Apple in1985.
But he learned from that failure
and, in true Silicon Valley fash-
ion, returned with a flourish,
dreaming up product after cool
product that screamed to the
world, Can you top this? And
all of this genius hasnt just im-
proved the net worth of Apple
designers, or helped harried of-
fice workers manage their lives.
Its created hundreds of thou-
sands of jobs maybemorefor
Apple store salespeople and app
developers, at cell phonecompa-
nies and accessory manufactur-
ers. Apple has become its own
industry.
Jobs closed his letter of resig-
nation to the Apple board by
saying, I believe Apples bright-
est andmost innovativedays are
ahead of it. The Valley and the
nationcanonlyhopethat istrue.

EMETERIES ARE hal-
lowed ground. They
are quiet, green and
peaceful befitting
their use as the final resting
place for the earthly remains of
hundreds, often thousands, of
souls. These tranquil grounds
are not just for the dead, but per-
haps even more for the living,
manyof whomreturntomourn,
to plant, to remember.
Thats why it comes as a sur-
prise that some Pittsburgh-area
cemeteries have entered into
leases with natural gas drilling
companies that might one day
seek to tap the Marcellus Shale
reserves a mile or more below.
An article in Sundays Post-
Gazette reported that the Ca-
tholic Cemeteries Association
signed a five-year lease in 2008
with Huntley & Huntley, which
specializes in urban gas drilling
and has leased the rights to
10,990 acres in Allegheny Coun-
ty.
More than 1,200 of the com-
panys acres are scatteredacross
11 cemeteries belonging to the
association in Allegheny and
Washingtoncounties. Thelarge-
st of those cemeteries are Cal-
vary, with200 acres, inthe citys
Hazelwood section and Queen
of Heaven, with195 acres, in Pe-
ters. (Pittsburgh prohibits gas
drilling and Peters Township
bars it on sites under 40 acres.)
No doubt other cemeteries in
Pennsylvania, with their own
vast acreage, have leases with
gas drillers.
Annabelle McGannon, execu-
tive director of the Catholic
Cemeteries Association, said
that despite the lease there are
no immediate plans for drilling
at any of its properties. Even if
there were, the association
would be in complete control
over thelocation... whichwould
never be permitted within the
developedsections of any ceme-
tery.
That might be, but a drilling
rig and its accompanying truck
traffic, even in a cemeterys un-
developed section, would be ob-
trusive, noisy and unsightly for
those coming to pay their re-
spects. So much for any sem-
blance of peaceful repose.
We have decried the hooli-
gans who rip out grave markers
and the graffiti criminals who
deface tombstones. But drilling
for natural gas under sacred
ground would be vandalismof a
different sort. And all for a few
pieces of silver.

government will reimburse the
airport $170,800 through Sept.
30, 2012.
That equates to $25.60 per
hour for the deputy.
But Steve Urban, the Luzerne
Countycommissionerwhochairs
the airport board, saidthe deputy
would receive his normal hourly
salary and the rest of the money
would go toward benefit costs.
He said the details will still
need to be worked out between
the two counties and their sher-
iffs, but he sees the plan as a win-
win for the airport and passen-
gers.
Barry Centini, the airports di-
rector, said the TSA is asking air-
ports across the country to take
part in its efforts to ensure an
armed officer is at all screening
areas. He said the TSA did not
mandate whether the person was
a private security guard, state
trooper, local officer or sheriffs
deputy.
He said the decision to go with
deputies was the first choice.
Centini said that since the
board contracts with Century Se-
curity and there is turnover and
the potential the firmcould be re-
placed if another company offers
alower bidinthefuture, hedecid-
ed to use professional law en-
forcement agencies.
Rather than pitting Pittston
Township against Dupont for use
of their officers, he said the sher-
iffs deputies made the most
sense.
The deputies will be trained in
the coming weeks and will then
beginreportingdirectlytotheair-
port for their eight-hour shifts in
October. Still to be worked out is
whether the counties will rotate
weeks or shifts and which one
gets to work which shift. Centini
saidthat will be uptothe sheriffs.
Were on board with this,
Centini said. This gives thesher-
iff deputies a big-time presence at
the airport, and it gives us anoth-
er armed security person in the
building.
Luzerne County Sheriff John
Gilligan said he was aware there
were discussions about the use of
deputies at the airport, but when
contactedThursdayafternoonhe
was unaware the agreement was
signed. Hedeclinedcomment un-
til he had a chance to learn more
about what it means for his depu-
ties.
Lackawanna County Sheriff
John Szymanski said he sees val-
ue to the proposal and he is anx-
ious to work out the details with
Gilligan and the airport officials.
Theyseeaneedandwerewill-
ing to accommodate it, he said.
He said his deputies will not be
doing the work of the TSA em-
ployees but will offer assistance if
requested.
Thomas Hart, the director for
the Williamsport Regional Air-
port, Lycoming County, said his
airport has been contacted by the
TSA, but the discussions are in
the early stages.
He said his facility has no
armed personnel on duty and re-
lies on the nearby state and bor-
ough police forces to respond
when needed.
He said he understands the
peace of mind that an armed of-
ficer stationedat thescreeningar-
ea would be for passengers and
staff, but if the grant didnt fully
cover the cost of having the staff-
er, the airport likely wouldnt en-
ter into an agreement.

leading to significant flash
flooding.
In a worst-case scenario a
direct hit Irene could bring
damaging winds of an intensity
the area hasnt seen in decades,
flash flooding and possibly river
flooding.
But those risk estimates are
highest for the Pocono and
Catskill mountains, and dimin-
ish to the west. The Susquehan-
na River depth was at least 20
feet below flood stage in Wilkes-
Barre on Thursday, well below
the flood stage, according to
U.S. Geological Survey data.
Gilt said he has studied sever-
al models of storm tracks, and
he called a direct hit on North-
eastern Pennsylvania one of the
least likely scenarios.
Preparations under way
Even as an off-chance, the
potential for widespread dam-
age from the storm led area first
responders to prepare for the
worst, just in case.
Luzerne County Emergency
Management Agency Deputy
Coordinator Lucy Morgan said
the agency participated in in-
formational conference calls
with the Pennsylvania Emergen-
cy Management Agency and the
National Weather Service on
Thursday to keep abreast of the
situation as it develops.
Were just monitoring the
situation as it develops, Mor-
gan said. Theres more calls
planned for tomorrow, so as the
situation changes, well change
accordingly.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Thomas
Leighton plans to host a press
conference at 10:30 a.m. today
to discuss the citys preparations
for the storm. City spokesman
Drew McLaughlin said the may-
or met with department heads
and the chiefs of the city fire
and police departments Wednes-
day and that the city is closely
monitoring the storms path.
The Red Cross of Wyoming
Valley and neighboring branch-
es of the Red Cross on Thursday
began updating their volunteer
contact lists in preparation to
mobilize volunteers wherever
the storm strikes.
Pretty much the whole east-
ern area is on watch, Red Cross
of Wyoming Valley spokeswo-
man Amy George said. Flood-
ing is probably going to be the
main problem if it does hit, so
were just getting people ready
to go Sunday or Monday if it
does happen.
The local Red Cross has also
replenished its stock of flood
cleanup kits, which was deplet-
ed by following the July 3 flash
flooding in Plymouth, and is
prepared to offer emergency
shelter, dry clothes and other
disaster relief services to anyone
displaced by flooding.
To volunteer or request help
from the Red Cross, contact
823-7161.
In Plymouth, where isolated
heavy rainfall on July 3 led Coal
Street Creek to overflow its
banks causing millions in esti-
mated property damages, Bor-
ough Administrator Joe Mazur
said the borough will monitor
the situation, but he isnt overly
worried about a repeat of the
holiday weekend storm.
Its not 100 percent, but the
debris has been cleaned out of
our flood control systems and
we dont foresee any problems
handling all the water, Mazur
said. Barring a real deluge of 6
or 7 or 8 inches like we had
before, we wont have any major
problems here.
Events rescheduled
The forecast has led orga-
nizers of some events planned
for the weekend to reschedule.
Marworth Treatment Center
in Waverly has canceled and will
not reschedule the alumni re-
union it planned for Saturday,
saying high winds could render
outdoor tents unsafe.
The Bear Creek/Buck Town-
ship Lions Club has rescheduled
its pig roast fundraiser from
Sunday to Sept. 11. The pig had
already been slaughtered in
preparation for the roast, and
will now be butchered and vacu-
um sealed to keep it fresh, for
the event, organizer Sandi Carl
said, meaning attendees will
dine on pork sandwiches, rather
than the whole hog.

The project at that site eventually fell

tract.
Authority Solicitor Frank Hoegen

Inthe other claim, Dunmore residents
JosephandJoanRescigno, owners of the
formerClassicBrideshop, got several au-
thority properties listed in the October
sheriff sale to try to cover some of the
$600,000 theyre owed.
The couple had filed suit against the
city, McGroarty and the authority in
2002, alleging they were run out of busi-
ness when the government purchased
the surrounding neighborhood for the
downtowntheaterprojectconstructedat
South Main and Northampton streets.
McGroarty and the city were later dis-
missedfromthat suit, officials said.
TheRescignos soldthepropertytothe
authorityin2004, allowingtheproject to
proceed, but the suit continuedincourt.
In 2007 a county judge ordered the au-
thority to pay $500,000 for lost revenue,
attorney fees, court costs anddelay dam-
ages.
But Joseph Rescigno recently said no
payment was made, prompting his attor-
ney to file court paperwork stating that
the tab had escalated to $585,985 with
added interest and costs. An authority-
owned townhouse apartment complex
andfour vacant lots are listedinthe sher-
iff sale as part of their claim.
Pastauthorityrepresentativeshaveex-
pressed doubts that the authority would
ever be able to pay all claims because it
doesnt have muchproperty left.
According to county assessment re-
cords, the authority owns four alleys, a
pumping station, two parking lots, an
apartment building, at least 23 vacant
lotsandasmall structurethatlasthoused
a bank.
Leighton said he is confident the city
wont be on the hook for the concrete
claimbecauseit is anautonomous public
agency that operates independently of
city government.
Newcrete appealed a county court rul-
ing that determined the city was not re-
sponsible for the $4.3 million judgment.
That appeal is pending in Common-
wealth Court, said attorney John Aciu-
kewicz, who is representing the city.
Newcretes attorneys JohnH. Doran,

The head of the Federal Emer-

damages couldexceedmost previ-

ple live along the East Coast and
property values are high.
Weve got a lot more people
that are potentially in the path of
this storm, FEMADirector Craig
Fugate said in an interview with
The AssociatedPress. This is one
of the largest populations that will
be impacted by one storm at one
time.
The storm would have a lot of
impact well away from the coast-
line, headded. Alittlebit of dam-
age over big areas with large pop-
ulations can add up fast.
Irene was massive,
with tropical-force
winds extending al-
most twice as far as
normal, about the
same size as Katrina,
which devastated New
Orleans in 2005.
Its not goingtobe a

Emanuel. People have

With heavy rain and

showed it taking dead aimat New

Brooklyn and Manhattan before
weakening and trudging through
NewEngland.
If the stormstrikes NewYork, it
will probably be a Category1or 2,
depending on its exact track, hur-
ricane specialist John Cangialosi
said.
Hurricanes are rare in the
Northeast because the regions
cooler seas tendtoweakenstorms
as they approach, andthey have to
take a narrow track to strike New
York without first hitting other
parts of the coast and weakening
there.
Still, strong storms have been
known to unleash serious damage
in an urban environment already
surrounded by water.
A September 1821 hurricane
raised tides by 13 feet in an hour
and flooded all of Manhattan
south of Canal Street an area
that now includes the nations fi-
nancial capital. An infamous 1938
stormdubbed the Long Island Ex-
press came ashore about 75 miles
east of the city and then hit New
England, killing 700 people and
leaving 63,000 homeless.
On Thursday, Ocean City, Md.,
officials ordered thousands of resi-
dents and tourists to abandon the
beach community. Earlier in
North Carolina, three coastal
counties issued evacuation orders
covering more than 200,000 peo-
ple, including tourists and full-
time residents. President Barack
Obama declaredanemergency for
thestate, allowingfor federal help.
Farmers grimly accepted the
fate of their crops. Strong winds
and widespread flooding could
mean billions of dollars in losses
for corn, cotton, soybean, tobacco
and timber growers. While most
farmers have disaster insurance,
policies often pay only about 70
percent of actual losses.
The Navy ordered many of its
ships at Norfolk Naval Station out
to sea to wait out the storm.
The Philadelphia area could get
more than a half-foot of rain, ac-
companied by sustained winds up
to 50 mph. Mayor Michael Nutter
said it could be the worst stormin
at least 50 years. August has al-
ready been one of the rainiest
months in city history.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
askedall visitorstotheshoretoget
out by midday Friday. He said
Irene was poised to be a serious,
significant event, with flooding a
threat across the entire state. A
mandatory evacuation was or-
dered for Cape May County.
In a normal hurricane, tropical
storm-force winds extend about
150 miles from the eye. Irenes
winds extend nearly 250 miles.
Another worry is that the
ground is already saturated in the
Northeast after a wet spring and
summer. That means trees and
power lines will be more vulnera-
bletowinds, likeduringHurricane

THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2011
timesleader.com
As a general
rule, sports
team owners
should leave
the fashion tips
to Tim Gunn.
Sure, most of
them are well-
dressed whenever they step out
in public. But theyre also at
least twice as old as their play-
ers. And as anyone who has
seen recent photo of Raiders
boss Al Davis knows, what
might have been hip when he
was a kid wont cut it with
kids today.
For that reason alone, Pan-
thers owner Jerry Richardson
should have known better than
to wade across the generational
minefield and tell top-draft
pick and potential franchise
savior Cam Newton to stay out
of tattoo parlors and keep his
hair short. The only thing
Richardson accomplished by
telling Newton how to look
was to make himself look
grumpy. .
During an appearance the
Charlie Rose Show, the Pan-
thers owner recalled a con-
versation he had with Newton
last spring.
He was dressed perfectly. I
said, Do you have any tattoos.
He said, No sir, I dont have
any. I said, Do you have any
piercings? He said, No sir. I
said, We want to keep it that
way.
A moment later, the host
weighed in. You sound like
Lombardi, Rose said.
No, Richardson demurred,
I just sound reasonable to
me.
Actually, Richardson sounded
exactly like the imperious,
75-year-old multimillionaire
businessman that he is. Never
mind that scores of players in
the league have tattoos, in-
cluding several of Carolinas
most popular ones, or that
more than a few Panther fans
are among the 45 million
Americans sporting as
youngsters call it body art.
When you own the franchise
and youre trying to sell tickets
for a team that went 2-14 last
season and made the playoffs
four times since being pur-
chased in 1995, you can sug-
gest players help out by doing
just about anything. Former
Oakland As owner Charlie O.
Finley tried it. He paid players
to grow mustaches, then shave
them off and once offered
pitcher Vida Blue a few
hundred bucks to change his
first name to True.
Blue considered the deal for
a heartbeat. If you like the
name so much, he said, why
dont you call yourself True O.
Finley?
Richardsons fashion tip car-
ried just as much weight. He
couldnt fire Newton even if his
rookie quarterback arrived at
practice the next day painted
up like Jeremy Shockey or
Steve Smith two of Car-
olinas more colorful body art-
ists. Not unless he was going
to unload everyone else with a
tattoo. And considering the
long and undistinguished histo-
ry owners have had imposing
dress codes and their mores on
players, even Richardson was
too smart for that.

Crosbys agent said theres no
timetable for the Pittsburgh
Penguins star to return from a
concussion, the clearest indi-
cation yet that he may not be
ready when the NHL season
begins in October.
Agent Pat Brisson discussed
Crosbys recovery and medical
status on the team website, ap-
parently in response to reports
out of Canada that say the 24-
year-olds offseason training
regimen has been shut down
because of recurring symp-
toms from a concussion that
have sidelined him since Janu-
ary.
Brisson said thats not true,
though he acknowledged
Crosby re-
cently visited
specialists in
Michigan and
Georgia and
said Crosbys
symptoms re-
curred when
he got to 90-
percent exertion in his offsea-
son workouts, which were ad-
justed accordingly.
Weve had him see leading
specialists because we want to
make sure he gets the best care
possible, Brisson said. The
Penguins always encourage
their players to get second and
third medical opinions and
have been very supportive of
this. And weve been talking to
(general manager) Ray Shero
every step of the way.
The Penguins open training
camp on Sept. 16 and the regu-
lar season on Oct. 6, but Bris-
son said Crosbys return wont
be dictated by those deadlines.

Not even a

In fact, it may have

Ronnie Brown and Mi-
chael Vick ran for touch-
downs in the first half,
Vince Young added a
scoring burst in the third
quarter Thursday and the
Eagles pretty much ran all over
the Cleveland Browns while tak-
ing a 24-14 victory in a preseason
game at Lincoln Financial Field.
Brown, a former Miami Dol-
phins starter who was added to
the Eagles roster earlier this
month as a backup running back
to LeSean McCoy, electrified the
Philadelphia faithful with a 13-
yard touchdown dash late in the
first quarter for the games first
points. He added a six-yard
first-down run on Phila-

On the offensive side
of the ball, they do a lot of
different things to get

said earlier in training
camp. So I felt that it
would be a good fit.
Brown finished as the
games leading rusher,
gaining 41 yards on six
carries for an average of
6.8 yards per pop. The on-
ly one to top his 19 yards in the

Yoshiki Suzuki blasted two
homers to lead the mashers

The late game had all the in-
tensity again of a major league
playoff game, thanks in large
part to the vocal backers of the
Keystone Little League from
Clinton County just 30 miles
from South Williamsport.
The first Williamsport-area
team to advance to the series
since 1969 has captured the at-
tention of central Pennsylvania.
Blue Keystone T-shirts were
being sold at roadside stands
around Williamsport, and elec-
tronic signboards wished good
luck to the Big Blue Machine.
No such luck Thursday night.

fives and fist-bumps at home

MOOSIC The Yankees won
their season record tying sixth
straight game 4-1 against the
Rochester Red Wings. Jesus
Montero led the way for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre with two
homers and four RBI.
I dont think it was just the
two home runs,
Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre
manager Dave
Miley said. I
think all three of
our pitchers
were outstand-
ing and Monty
(Montero)
played a big part
in it.
Montero put
the Yankees on
the board in the
bottom of the
first with a to-
wering home
run off the top of
the left- enter
field scoreboard. It was Monte-
ros 16th homer of the year and it
gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead after
just one inning of play.
I have been working on some-
thing that Alex (Rodriguez)
taught me when he was here,
Montero said. I took that to the
cage and I am just trying to relax
and throw my hands at the ball.
Thank God everything is going
well right now.
Rochester tightened the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre lead to 2-1 in
the top of the sixth. With two
outs in the inning, Brian Dinkel-
man singled to center field, al-

NEPA cyclist
Kentucky-boun
In what perhaps may be a first
for Northeastern Pennsylvania,
David Novak, of Tunkhannock,
has signed a letter of intent with
the Lindsey Wilson College in
Kentucky to compete in its
cycling program.
Novak has recorded wins at
prestigious races such as the
Green Mountain Stage Race in
Vermont and the International
Tour De Toona in Altoona. No-
vak has placed strongly at sever-
al national championship events
as a junior racer, and while only
18 years old has been racing
competitively since 2006.
Whats really exciting about
David is that he has wins in
some very stacked fields, Lind-
sey Wilson coach David Grigsby
said. Looking through his re-
sults and some of the competi-
tion he has beaten over the past
year makes him one of the most
dangerous riders in our recruit-
ing class. We are thrilled to add
David to our roster.
COLLEGE SOCCER

NEW YORK The New
York Yankees became the first
team in major league history to
hit three grand slams in a
game, with Robinson Cano,
Russell Martin and Curtis
Granderson connecting Thurs-
day in a wet, wild 22-9 romp
over the Oakland Athletics.
In nearly a century of storied
slugging, not even the Yankees
had ever enjoyed a day like
this.
On a dreary afternoon, some
fans headed home with the
Yankees trailing 7-1 after three
innings and rain still falling in a
game that began after an 89-
minute delay.
Turns out they missed the
Yankees coming home over
and over and over.
Orioles 6, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS Mark
Reynolds hit a three-run homer
and Jo Jo Reyes went six strong
innings to lead the Orioles to a
victory over the Minnesota
Twins for Baltimores first
four-game winning streak since
early June.
Reyes (7-10) allowed one run
on five hits with four walks and
three strikeouts. Craig Tatum
added a two-run double for the
AL-worst Orioles, who havent
had a winning streak this long
since June 6-10.
Tigers 2, Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Doug Fister allowed five hits
over seven scoreless innings,
Austin Jackson homered and
the AL Central-leading Detroit
Tigers beat the Tampa Bay
Rays.
Fister (6-13) struck out five.
The right-hander, acquired in a
six-player trade with Seattle on
July 30, is 3-1 in five starts with
the Tigers.
Red Sox 6, Rangers 0
ARLINGTON, Texas
Adrian Gonzalez homered
twice to give him five in four
games, Andrew Miller pitched
three-hit ball in a spot start and
the Boston Red Sox won their
third straight over the Texas
Rangers with a victory.
Gonzalez hit a solo shot in
the first inning and a two-run
drive in the third off Alexi
Ogando (12-6), giving him
homers on three consecutive
swings including one in the
eighth inning of Bostons 13-2
victory Wednesday night.
Gonzalez, who had his 13th
career multihomer game, had
gone 84 at-bats without a long
ball before homering in the
first inning of Tuesday nights
11-5 win. The Red Sox took the
final three games in a four-
game series between AL divi-
sion leaders.
Royals 9, Blue Jays 6
TORONTO Jeff Francis
pitched six-plus innings to win
for the first time since July 29,
Melky Cabrera homered and
the Kansas City Royals beat the
Toronto Blue Jays.
Billy Butler went 4 for 5 with
two RBIs and scored twice as
the Royals won their first series
since taking two of three
against Baltimore from Aug.
2-4. It was Kansas Citys first
series victory in Toronto since
August 2002.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Braves 8, Cubs 3
CHICAGO Brian McCann
homered twice and the Atlanta
Braves beat the Chicago Cubs.
McCann hit a three-run
homer in the first and a solo
shot in the seventh for his
eighth career multi-homer
game. Michael Bourn had a
career high-tying four hits,
scored two runs, and drove in a
run.
Marlon Byrd homered and
Tyler Colvin added a triple and
a run for the Cubs, who com-
mitted four errors.
Diamondbacks 8, Nationals 1
WASHINGTON Wade
Miley threw six scoreless in-
nings to get his first major
league victory, and Chris
Young and Paul Goldschmidt
homered as the Arizona Dia-
mondbacks ended their road
trip with an overdue burst of
offense Thursday night in a win
over the Washington Nationals.
Cardinals 8, Pirates 4.
ST. LOUIS David Freese
had a go-ahead two-run single
in the fifth and Matt Holliday
hit a three-run homer, leading
the St. Louis Cardinals to a win
over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cardinals ended a three-
game losing streak and moved
within 9
1
2 games of idle Mil-
waukee in the NL Central.
Pittsburgh lost for the sixth
time in nine games.
Freese blooped a bases-load-
ed hit down the right-field line
with one out to put St. Louis in
front to stay, 5-4. Allen Craig
began the inning with a single.
Pittsburgh starter Charlie Mor-
ton (9-7) then walked Albert
Pujols and Lance Berkman.
Holliday hit a three-run
homer in the eighth off reliever
Tony Watson.

S P O R T S
The Wyoming
Valley Confer-
ence will once
again be repre-
sented in the
Chesapeake
Bowl, a high
school all-star
game played in the Baltimore/
Washington D.C. area.
Crestwood lineman Tony
Morgante was selected to play on
the North team recently after
participating in selection camps
for the game. Over 400 players
participated in the camps.
The 6-foot-4, 288-pound Mor-
gante was selected to the Times
Leader all-WVC team last year
after playing offensive tackle for
Crestwood. He will move to
guard this year where his size is
more suitable for the college
game.
Crestwood coach Greg Myers
said several MAC schools as well
as schools from the Big East and
Football Championship Sub-
division have expressed interest
in Morgante.
Hes come a long way, Myers
said. Hes still developing. Were
moving him from tackle to guard,
which should help him at the
next level. Hes working on foot-
work and little things to make
him more comfortable.
Wyoming Area lineman Julian
Campenni, who now plays at
UConn, played in the game last
year.
The game is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. on Dec. 30.
CO-OPS APPROVED
The District 2 athletic commit-
tee unanimously approved two
cooperative sponsorship agree-
ments at last weeks meeting,
including one between Wyoming
Valley West and Wyoming Semi-
nary.
Seminary suspended its foot-
ball program last month because
of a lack of interest among the
students to participate. Valley
West agreed to allow Seminary
students to play on its football
team immediately. Valley West
athletic director Sandy Mackay
said to the best of his knowledge
only two Seminary students are
playing football with the Spar-
tans.
Mackay said the agreement
was simple because Valley West
already plays at Class 4A and
adding the full Seminary male
enrollment wouldnt alter its
PIAA classification. The agree-
ment is just for this season.
Mackay said if another smaller
neighboring school such as Dal-
las, Lake-Lehman or Wyoming
Area reached a co-op agreement
with Seminary, then the Semi-
nary students would be unable to
participate this year. Instead, any
of those schools would have to
add Seminarys male enrollment
to its own, submit the figure to
the PIAA and then wait until the
2012-13 school year for Seminary
students to participate.
Thats what will happen with
the other co-op agreement ap-
proved between Montrose and
Elk Lake. Montrose currently
plays at Class 2A, but adding Elk
Lakes enrollment could push up
the classification for football
starting in 2012-13.
Susquehanna and Blue Ridge
have had a co-op for football for
several years.
HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE
The District 2 athletic commit-
tee also approved playing this
years Class A, 2A and 3A cham-
pionship games at the site of the
highest remaining seed. In the
past, the game was played at a
neutral site, with Scranton, Val-
ley West and Valley View as the
primary locations.
The committee has the right to
move the championship game to
a neutral site if the highest-seed-
ed teams stadium is considered
unsuitable to host. Among the
criteria to move the game are
stadium site, parking, facilities
such as locker rooms and rest
rooms, playing field conditions,
available seating and security.
D2-4A schools play in a sub-
regional tournament with Dis-
trict 11 and District 4s William-
sport, a WVC member. That
tournament has annually allowed
the highest seed to host the
championship game.
CLOSER TO HOME?
Shortly after the football sea-
son ends and new PIAA enroll-
ment classifications are deter-
mined, the WVC will begin to
piece together schedules for the
2012 and 2013 seasons.
Those schedules could mean
more games locally to save on
travel expenses. Thats the buzz
going around. There could be
more WVC vs. WVC matchups
and less against opponents from
Lackawanna Conference or the
Pocono area. At least for WVC
schools that arent Class 4A.
Class 4A schools need to do
some travel to play similarly
sized opponents.
If thats the case, it would be
nice to see Coughlin play its city
rivals GAR and Meyers on an
annual basis. Also, it would be
great if Dallas and Wyoming Area
play every year. Although the
schools border each other, they
dont have a really rivalry except
for football where both bring the
same nasty mentality to the field.
Schools submit their enroll-
ment figures to the PIAA in
October and new classifications
come out usually are released in
November.
SCRIMMAGES ROUND 2
Tonight and tomorrow mark
the final scrimmages before the
season opens next weekend.
We were OK, average,
Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti said of
his teams first scrimmage
against Carbondale. The Crusad-
ers travel to Scranton for a 7 p.m.
scrimmage today. Were still
looking for a starting quarterback
who is going to take that lead-
ership role.
Was I completely disappoint-
ed? No, but I thought we could
have done some things better.
But again, it was a first scrim-
mage and well know more this
week.
There are two really good
scrimmages on tap at 7 p.m.
today. Dallas at GAR is always
interesting to say the least for
various reasons. Wyoming Area
will get a stern test at 7 p.m.
when it hosts Valley View, a
favorite to win the District 2
Class 3A title.

In maybe the most unfortu-
nate case, the late Marge Schott
once was asked whether any of
her Cincinnati Reds ballplayers
could wear earrings. Only
fruits wear earrings, she re-
plied. Schott also banned long
hair, facial hair of any kind and
announced in mid-season that
she would fire manager Davey
Johnson and did, even after
he took the ballclub to the 1995
National League Championship
Series mostly because she
disapproved of Johnson living
with his fiance (they married
later that year).
Fortunately, Richardson is
not that far out of touch, even
though dispatches from the
NFL labor talks occasionally
had some players wondering.
It was said that he treated
player reps, including star quar-
terbacks Peyton Manning and
Drew Brees, so dismissively
during one session that several
owners apologizedafterward. In
that same meeting, SeanMorey,
who retired because of concus-
sions but remained part of the
players bargaining unit,
brought up the topic of injuries
and how they shortened ca-
reers. Richardson listened im-
passively, then reportedly re-
plied, You guys made so much
... money, if you played three
years in the NFL, you should
own your own ... team.
Richardson managed to do
that after playing just one sea-
son with the Baltimore Colts, in
1959-60. He quit the following
year after a dispute over a $250
raise and went on to make a for-
tune in the fast-food business.
Exactly why he figures tat-
toos are bad for his latest ven-
ture is anyones guess. Attitudes
have shifted. The few people
from Richardsons generation
sporting them likely got them
while serving in the military or
inprison. But the numbers jump
to nearly 30 percent in the gen-
eration after his, and nearly 40
percent by the time you drill
down into that desirable 18-25
demographic the league is al-
ways chasing.
One thing Richardson must
have learned, but appears to
have forgotten, is that the cus-
tomer is always right.

lowing Brandon Roberts to score
easily from third base.
The Red wings had a great
chance to either tie or take the
lead in the seventh inning. With
oneout intheinning, ReneRivera
singledthenadvancedto thirdon
Toby Gardenhires double over
theheadof Yankeeleft fielder Ray
Kruml. However, Roberts then
flew out to left, and a strong
throwbyParrazmadesureRivera
stayed put at third base.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre then
called on Scott Proctor to relieve
starting pitcher D.J. Mitchell.
Proctor did the job by getting Ja-
sonRepkotogroundout toshort-
stop. The Repko groundout left
two runners in scoring position
for the RedWings andthe Yankee
lead remained 2-1.
Our bullpen has been really
good and any guy could have
came out there and done that,
Mitchell said of Proctor getting
out of the jam. Proctors a guy
who has been there before and he
knows how to get things done
and he leads by example and did
it again tonight.
Montero extended the Yankee
lead to 4-1 with his second two-
run homer of the night to left
field. The home run proved to be
all the Yankees would need as the
final score was 4-2.
Mitchell picked up the win for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He went
6 2/3 innings allowing just one
run on eight hits, while striking
out six and walking one. He is
now 11-9 on the season with an
ERA of 3.40.
He was really goodandhe was
commanding his fastball really
good, Montero said of Mitchell.
His sinker especially was really
good, we got a lot of outs.
Kevin Whelan earned the save
for the Yankees.. He now has 23
saves on the season.
Dusty Hughes sufferedthe loss
for the Red Wings. He went four
innings allowing just two runs.
He is now4-1withanERAof 4.14.
The Yankees will play four
against Pawtucket startingtoday.
Pawtucket is currently tied for
the division with Lehigh Valley,
so this series is crucial to the Yan-
kees postseason hopes.
Matt Fox (8-4, 4.21) takes the
hill for Pawtucket, while Adam
Warren (6-6, 3.29) gets the ball
for the Yankees in Game one.
Game two will feature left-
hander Aaron Laffey. He makes
his Scranton/Wilkes-Barre debut
after being optioned by New
York.
Yankee Notes
With hurricane Irene expected
to make its way through the east
coast, the Yankees decided to
play two games today at PNC
Fieldandwill not play onSunday.
Tonight and Mondays games are
on as scheduled. Below is what
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
President Kristen Rose said in a
press release on the team web-
site.
The Yankees are followingthe
lead of the International League,
Major League Baseball and the
National Weather Serviceinlook-
ing at the best options for the
safety of our fans and our play-
ers, saidSWBYankees President
Kristen Rose. The hope would
be the severe weather will miss
northeast Pennsylvania, but due
tothepotential for heavyrainand
wind, moving our Sunday game
is the best option for everyone in-
volved.
Todays twin bill will begin at
5:35 p.m. According to the team
website, anyone with tickets to
Sundays game may exchange
themfor a ticket of equal or lesser
value for any remaining regular
season game in 2011, based on
availability. Tonights games are
sold out.

Instead, its California advanc-
ing to the U.S. title game for a
rematch with undefeated Mon-
tana.
Pennsylvania hitters man-
aged just three singles off Dan-
ner, who effectively mixed a
heater that hit 77 mph with an
off-speed pitch that had batters
off-balance.
The Keystone chants of
roared through Lamade Stadi-
umagain after Wyatt Koch reac-
hedonaninfieldsingleandreac-
hed third on two wild pitches in
the fifth. Danner got a hug from
smiling shortstop Trevor Wind-
isch after California jogged back
to the dugout in relief without
allowing a run in that jam.
Pinch-hitter Ryo Takada
tacked on an insurance run with
an RBI double in the fourth.
Japan 9, Venezuela 6
Seconds after the ball left his
bat in the third inning, Suzuki
raised his right arm in celebra-
tion and admired his opposite-
field blast just over the left-field
wall.
Then he did it again in the
fifth in a game that had the mak-
ings of a blowout before Vene-
zuela rallied late.
Venezuela had the tying run
at the plate with one out in the
sixth after Yonny Hernandezs
RBI single, but reliever Gaishi
Iguchi struck out the last two
hitters to finally allow Japan to
celebrate and eliminate Vene-
zuela.
Japans berth Saturday in the
international final is secure
thanks in large part to the long
ball.
Kazuto Takakura added a
three-run homer in the fourth
for Japan. It was his first-ever
home run for the 12-year-old Ta-
kakura, and his teammates
toasted him at the plate by rais-
ing both his arms in victory as if
a prize-fighter following a title-
winning bout.
We are from Japan so we
dont have much power. Ask the
players, Japan manager Akihi-
ro Suzuki, no relation to Yoshi-
ki, joked with a chuckle. Thats
why we reacted like that. We
were all very happy for him.
Ken Igeta had an RBI double
in the third before Suzuki belted
the first of his two homers. Do-
ing his best impression of slug-
ger David Ortiz, the left-handed
Suzuki watched in awe at the
plate as the ball clear the 225-
foot wall.
Hiroyasu Sugiura, 12, was so
excited that he bolted out of the
dugout and raced toward home,
nearly beating the happy Suzuki
to the plate.
Both times, I was just trying
to hit the ball to center, Suzuki
said.
Not quite, but Japan will glad-
ly take the two shots to left just
the same.
After Iguchis game-ending
strikeout, Japans players briefly
exchanged handshakes and pats
on the back before lining up on
the third-base line to exchange
handshakes with Venezuela, a
Little League tradition.

NEW YORK The biggest
question heading into the U.S.
Open draw was: Which highly
seeded woman could be stuck
facing Serena Williams in the
third round? The answer: No. 4
Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.
Poor, poor, poor Victoria Aza-
renka, seven-time major cham-
pion John McEnroe said at
Thursdays draw ceremony in
Flushing Meadows.
Azarenka was a Wimbledon
semifinalist in July, as was No. 22
Sabine Lisicki of Germany, who
could play Williams older sister
Venus in the second round. Both
Williams sisters lost in the fourth
round at the All England Club.
Serena Williams is a three-time
U.S. Open champion who leads
all active women with 13 Grand
Slam titles. Venus Williams is a
two-timewinner inNewYorkand
owns a total of seven major sin-
gles trophies.
The Grand Slam tournament
starts Monday.
Venus Williams, meanwhile, is
ranked 36th and unseeded; she
could face No. 14 Dominika Ci-
bulkova of Slovakia in the third
round.
Looking at the latter stages of
the mens field, Novak Djokovic
and Roger Federer were drawn to
possibly meet in one semifinal,
while defending champion Ra-
fael Nadal and Andy Murray
could meet in the other.
The top-ranked Djokovic is
57-2 in 2011, and one of those
losses came against Federer in
the French Open semifinals, end-
ing the Serbs 43-match winning
streak that began in December. A
year ago at Flushing Meadows,
Djokovic beat five-time U.S.
Open champion Federer in the
semifinals before losing to Nadal.

S P O R T S
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. With
the not-so-subtle shape of a stock
car under cover just infront of her
and spotlights glaring in her face,
Danica Patrick feigned drama for
an announcement everyone al-
ready knew was coming.
For breaking news that will
shock the world ..., she said face-
tiously on Thursday.
Peeling the lid off the worst-
kept secret in auto racing, Patrick
ended months of skirting ques-
tions about her future byofficially
declaring her plans to leave Indy-
Car in 2012 to race a full Nation-
wide season for JR Motorsports
and a part-time Sprint Cup sched-
ule with Stewart-Haas Racing.
One of the most marketable
stars in auto racing, Patrick had
been rumored
to be headed to
NASCAR even
before she ran
her first stock
race, the ARCA
series event at
Daytona in
2010. Even
while racing limited Nationwide
schedules the past two years for
Dale Earnhardt Jr.s team, Patrick
had deflected talk of her leaving
IndyCar for the fenders of NAS-
CAR.
That all changed, at least offi-
cially, when she signed a contract
with GoDaddy.com chairman
Bob Parsons in front of TV cam-
eras and a few dozen cheering
company employees on Thurs-
day.
If it was about money, Id have
gone a long time ago, Patrick
said from GoDaddys offices in
north Scottsdale. I just go where
my heart tells me, where my gut
tells me to go, where Imenjoying
mylifethemost, whereI feel likeI
can have the most success. Ive
truly enjoyed my experience in
NASCAR, to the point that I want
to do it full-time.
Patrick will run most of her
races inthelower-tier Nationwide
Series with only a handful of
Sprint Cup races, but her switch
to NASCARshouldbe a big boost
to a sport thats been hurt by a
sagging economy and a dip in
popularity from its heyday just a
few years back.
With her telegenic looks, mass
appeal, not tomentionracySuper
Bowl ads, Patrick brings some-
thing thats hard to come by: star
power.
We are pleased Danica Patrick
has chosen to race full time in
NASCAR in 2012, NASCAR
chairman and CEO Brian France
said in a statement. She has
demonstrated a strong desire to
compete and NASCAR provides
the best opportunity to race
against the top drivers in the
world with the largest and most
loyal fan base in motorsports on a
week-to-week basis. Danica has
shown solid improvement in
NASCARandwebelieveher deci-
sion to run full time in the NAS-
CAR Nationwide Series, with ad-
ditional races in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series, will be excit-
ing for our fans and a great chal-
lenge for her.
On the other side of the wheel,
Patricks decision leaves a big
void in IndyCar.
The series has made some big
strides under the direction of
CEORandy Bernard, who has ag-
gressively reshaped the sport
with innovative marketing ap-
proaches. But for all thesuccesses
IndyCar hashad, Patrickisstill ar-
guably the sports biggest star
certainly its most recognizable
and losing her will likely put a
dent in the sports momentum.
Danica has always been a
great ambassador for IndyCar,
andthereis nodoubt shehas left a
positive impression on our
sport, Bernard said in a state-
ment. She has touched millions
of fans andmanythat werenewto
motorsports. Danica attracted a
fan base that every athlete and
sports property in the world
would love to have

FOOTBALL
Snake found
in players helmet
GRAVETTE, Ark. A high
school running back in Arkansas
wants to slither through defens-
es, not have a snake slither in-
side his helmet.
Gravette High School senior
Darrick Strzelecki said he felt
something odd in his helmet
during practice Tuesday, but
thought it was only a tangled
lock of hair or sweat beading up
as the teamworked on extra
points.
I kept hitting, and it just kept
bothering me, Strzelecki told
the Benton County Daily Re-
cord.
During a break about 15 min-
utes into practice, Strzelecki
took off his helmet and initially
believed his teammates were
teasing him.
It looked like a rubber snake,
and I thought somebody had
pulled a practical joke on me,
he said. When I grabbed it by
the tail, thats when it jerked,
and I dropped the helmet.
The snake, 10-12 inches long,
was killed shortly afterward.
Its funny now, but it is some-
thing I dont take lightly, head
coach Bill Harrelson said. All
snakes are deadly in my book.
Assistant coach Seth McKin-
zie said the snake did not appear
to be venomous.
Strzelecki said it took him
about five minutes to build up
the courage to put the helmet
back on his head, but not before
he looked in every corner of it.
VOLLEYBALL
Love makes early exit
MANHATTANBEACH, Calif.
Kevin Love wont be giving
up his day job anytime soon.
Idled by the NBA lockout, the
Minnesota Timberwolves All-
Star hit the sand to compete in
his first pro beach volleyball
tournament. He and his partner
lost in straight sets, but Love
calls the action addicting and
wants to keep honing his game.
As the lowest-seeded players
in the Manhattan Beach Open,
Love and pro partner Hans Stol-
fus drewthe top-seeded teamof
Sean Scott and John Hyden, who
won last weeks tournament in
Hermosa Beach and are unde-
feated this summer. Scott and
Hyden took it easy on Love and
Stolfus, who lost 21-16, 21-15
Thursday playing under blue
skies next to the Manhattan
Beach pier.
Love says hed been on the
sand practicing just 10 times
before his debut in one of the
oldest beach volleyball tourna-
ments in the world.
Lady Lions ranked No.1
STATE COLLEGE The
Penn State womens volleyball
teambegins the newseason
where it ended 2010 at the
top.
Theyve been there a while
nowwith an unprecedented four
straight national championships.
The Nittany Lions are presea-
son No. 1again. But the team
lost several key players includ-
ing 2010 player-of-the-year Blair
Brown. With so many newfaces
in the lineup, winning five
straight titles could be tough for
Penn State.
They face a newchallenge this
year with fellownational power
Nebraska joining the Big Ten.
The Nittany Lions have won
eight straight conference titles.
GOLF
Woods named to
Presidents Cup team
SNOQUALMIE, Wash.
Fred Couples has told Tiger
Woods that he decided to add
himto the 12-member Presi-
dents Cup team.
Couples, the Presidents Cup
co-captain along with Jay Haas,
has taken the drama out of the
debate over whether Woods
would be on the team, saying
Thursday its already a done
deal.
Ten players automatically
qualify for the teambased on
points accumulated over the
past two years. Couples is then
given two captains picks to
round out his squad, which will
compete at Royal Melbourne
Golf Club in Australia Nov. 14-
20.

EDISON, N.J. Harrison
Frazar is leading The Bar-
clays. All anyone wanted to
talk about was Irene.
Whatever enthusiasm there
was for start of the FedEx
Cup playoffs was dampened
Thursday first by rain that
halted the first round for
nearly three hours, then from
the gloomy forecast of Hurri-
cane Irene. That left players
and officials wonder when,
how or even if they can finish
the opening playoff event.
Of the early starters who
didnt finish until mid-after-
noon Frazar led an on-
slaught of birdies on rain-
softened Plainfield Country
Club, shooting a 7-under 64.
One of the few times he was
in trouble, he chipped in from
behind the first green to turn
bogey into birdie.
Vijay Singh overcame a
double bogey early in his
round for a 65 and was tied
with Jonathan Byrd. Adam
Scott was in the group at 66.
Nick Watney, the No. 1 seed
as the race begins for the $10
million FedEx Cup bonus,
was among those at 67.
When it was too dark to
continue, 51 players did not
finish the round. They were to
return at 7:15 a.m. on Friday,
and the tee times for the
second round were expected
to be pushed back by about 30
minutes.
William McGirt, the last of
the 125 players who qualified
for the playoffs, had to stop
after making his seventh
birdie in an eight-hole stretch
to get to 7-under par through
11 holes. Matt Kuchar, the
defending champion at The
Barclays, also was at 7 under
through 16 holes.
Canadian Womens Open
MIRABEL, Quebec Ai
Miyazato and Pernilla Lindb-
erg shot 7-under 65s in wet
conditions to share the lead in
the Canadian Womens Open,
while Michelle Wie was two
strokes back in her title de-
fense.
Canadian Samantha Rich-
dale opened with a 66 at Hill-
sdale Gold Club, and Wie was
another stroke back along
with Angela Stanford, Mi
Hyun Kim, Song-Hee Kim
and Jenny Shin.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland
Englands Mark Foster
shot a 6-under 66 to take the
lead in the Johnnie Walker
Championship before first-
round play was suspended in
the event hampered by fog
and swarming wasps.
The start was delayed by 2
hours, 40 minutes because of
reduced visibility, and 51
players will have to complete
their first round early Friday.

steals the
thunder
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE Former Cy
Young award winner Mike Fla-
nagan died of a self-inflicted
shotgunwoundto the head, the
Maryland medical examiner
ruled Thursday.
A police in-
vestigation
revealed that
the 59-year-
old pitcher
was upset
about finan-
cial issues. He
left no note.
Flanagans
body was found Wednesday af-
ternoon about 250 feet behind
his home. An investigation
showed he was home alone
when he took his life.
Flanagan won the Cy Young
Award in 1979 and helped the
Baltimore Orioles win the 1983
World Series. After his retire-
ment, he workedfor the Orioles
as a coachandinthe front office
beforesettlingintoajobascolor
commentator on the teams
broadcast network.
Flanagan was scheduled to
work this weekends series
against the NewYork Yankees.
He was looking forward to
broadcastingtheYankees series
comingup. He was doingsome-
thing he loved, said Jim Du-
quette, who teamed with Flana-
gan from 2005-07 to attempt to
rebuild the Orioles.
Accordingtopolice, AlexFla-
naganlast spoketoher husband
about 1 a.m. Wednesday. She
told police he sounded upset,
and he promised he would talk
to her later.
When Alex Flanagan did not
hear from her husband, she
called a neighbor to check on
him. The neighbor went to the
homeandcalled911after failing
to find him.
Police discovered a body on
the property but could not im-
mediately determine the identi-
ty because the wounds were so
severe.
There was a moment of si-
lence at Yankee Stadium on
Thursday before New York
faced the Oakland Athletics.
Flanagans picture was posted
on the video board.
Flanagan was a crafty left-
hander whowent167-143witha
3.90 ERA over 18 seasons with
Baltimore and Toronto.
He was 141-116 with Balti-
more and is a member of the
teams Hall of Fame. Flanagan
was alsothefinal Orioletopitch
at Memorial Stadium, Balti-
mores home from1954-1991.
During that appearance out
of the bullpen, Flanagan struck
out DetroitsDaveBergmanand
Travis Fryman, much to the de-
light of the 50,700 fans that fil-
led the old ballpark one last
time.

CINCINNATI Carolinaroo-
kie quarterback Cam Newton
took a step back on his road to
NFLstardom.
Cincinnatis Andy Dalton, an-
otherrookie, tookahugeleapfor-
ward.
Dalton, Cincinnatis second-
round draft pick from Texas
Christian, led four first-half scor-
ing drives and the Bengals held
on for a 24-13 preseason victory
Thursday night.
Daltonwas anefficient 11of 17
for 130 yards and a touchdown
for Cincinnati (1-2), putting to-
gether a 107.5 quarterback rat-
ing, a vast improvement over the
30.9figurehetookintothegame.
He didnt play inthe secondhalf.
We did a good job of moving
the ball, Bengals coach Marvin
Lewis said. We threw the ball
well and the running game was
physical.
Newton, theoverall No. 1pick,
went into the game with a 65.2
quarterback rating after two
games. He rushed for 41yards in
the first half, including a 16-yard
scramble for a touchdown. He
playedthefirst threeseries of the
third quarter before giving way
to second-year quarterback Jim-
my Clausen and finished 6 for 19
for 75 yards anda 44.8 rating.
Newton reverted to the Heis-
man Trophy-winning style he
used while leading Auburn to
last years national champion-
shiptoaccount forhisfirst touch-
downas a pro.
After Chris Gamble recovered
afumblebyCedricBensonat the
Cincinnati 46, Newton led Car-
olina (1-2) on a six-play scoring
drive. He completed just one of
four passes on the possession,
but hecappedit byscrambling16
yards for the score.

took advantage of it, Vick said.
Advantage, Eagles.
I think the aspect of the game
that he brings, Brown said,
with his versatility - you know,
being able to pass the ball and
use his legs as well - and then
having all the talent around him,
I think theres going to be a lot of
different guys you have to worry
about.
The Browns looked worried
as they struggled through the
first two quarters, managing just
four offensive first downs before
the two-minute warning.
When they did threaten, for-
tune smiled on the Eagles.
On Philadelphias third snap
of the night, Clevelands Jayme
Mitchell recovered Vicks fum-
ble after a hard sack deep in Ea-
gles territory.
But Eagles cornerback Do-
minique Rodgers-Cromartie
came hard off the edge on spe-
cial teams and blocked a 33-yard
field goal attempt to keep the
Browns off the board.
That was as closeas Cleveland
came to the end zone until the
two-minute warning, when the
Browns moved from their 22-
yard line across midfield. But
once they did, a sudden down-
pour drenchedLincolnFinancial
Field, and the drive quickly
stalled.
Vick finished with a workman-
like 10-for-18 passing perform-
ance for 98 yards - 69 of them
coming on screens and short
passes to McCoy.
It was great to be able to get
back out there with the guys and
play two full quarters and play
with a different mindset, Vick
said. Weve been doing a lot in
the running game and weve
been doing a lot in the passing
game. Fortunately, it all worked
out.
For Philadelphias defense,
too.
Eagles defensive tackle Mike
Patterson returned to game ac-
tion for the first time since suf-
fering a seizure in training camp
three weeks ago, andwouldhave
recorded a sack of Browns quar-
terback Colt McCoy in the first
quarter if Cleveland wasnt
charged with a penalty on the
play.
I was a little bit nervous at
first, Patterson admitted. I had
to get that feeling back. But it
felt pretty good and I felt pretty
happy to get a hit on him.
Neither team really hit on all
cylinders during the final two
quarters, as things really bogged
down at the start of a soupy sec-
ond half.
As the rain continued, the
teams overflowedwitha floodof
mistakes as second-teamers
took the field.
Eagles backup quarterback
Young fumbled a snap on the
opening possession of the third
quarter, and the drive ended
with a Young pass slithering off
the stomach of Eagles receiver
Johnnie Lee Higgins. Young also
lost a fumble while being sacked
midwaythroughthefourthquar-
ter.
It wasnt muchbrighter for the
Browns, who watched backup
quarterback Seneca Wallace and
running back Armond Smith
fumble a handoff exchange.
Once the rain slowed, Young
got things together enough to
rip off a 10-yard touchdown
scramble, boosting the Eagles
advantage to 24-0.
The Browns finally found the
endzone whensome of that luck
swung Clevelands way.
A desperation pass from Wal-
lace to Alex Smith was tipped
and bounced around in the end
zone before Smith snatched it
from the air for a 17-yard touch-
down, pulling the Browns with-
in 24-7 under a minute into the
final quarter.
Cleveland added the final
score when third-string quarter-
back Jarrett Brown found Chris
Matthews with a four-yard
touchdown toss with 1:57 to
play.

Sterling earnings?
When Tiffany reports its
second-quarter earnings,
investors are likely to be
more concerned with the
future than how it did during
the spring and early summer.
The company is expected to
report an earnings increase.
But the quarter ended before
the stock market began its
August plunge. Investors will
want to know if Tiffany has
seen business fall along with
stock prices.
How weak is the economy?
The Commerce Departments latest look at the economy during the second
quarter is expected to show that growth was even weaker than the slim 1.3 per-
cent the government reported a month ago. Investors will want to see what
parts of the economy are the most troubled. Theyll try to glean from the report
any clues they can get about what will happen for the rest of the year.
Bernanke speaks
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke helped end
a stock market slump a year ago when he spoke at the
Feds annual retreat in
Jackson Hole, Wyo. He
hinted that the central
bank was going to take
steps to help the
economy. That turned out
to be the bond-buying
program nicknamed QE2.
Investors are hoping for
another lift from Bernanke
when he speaks at this
years conference. Source: The Commerce Department

Stocks cant hold gains
A three-day stock rally ended much
like it began, with a steep and sudden
turn.
Stocks started higher early Thursday
but turned lower within 20 minutes.
Indexes in the U.S. and Europe sank
after Germanys main stock index, the
DAX, suddenly dipped 4 percent. Trad-
ers struggled to explain the dive.
Earlier Thursday, the Labor Depart-
ment said first-time claims for unem-
ployment benefits rose to 417,000, the
highest in five weeks. The figure was
inflated by a strike at Verizon which
ended earlier this week.
Paul Zemsky, chief investment offi-
cer of ING Investment Management in
New York, expects to see more big
swings as long as the fear of recession
hangs over the market. Once its clear
where the economy is headed, I think
things will calm down, he said.
Gas estimate lowered
The Energy Department says it will
reduce its estimate of undiscovered
natural gas in New York, Pennsylvania
and other states following a new report
by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS report, released Tuesday,
estimates that the Marcellus Shale
region contains some 84 trillion cubic
feet of undiscovered, recoverable nat-
ural gas. That is far more than geol-
ogists had thought nearly a decade ago,
but far below a recent 410 trillion cubic
feet projection by the Energy Depart-
ment.
Oil rise blamed on Irene
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate
crude rose 14 cents Thursday to finish
at $85.30 per barrel in New York.
Analyst Tom Bentz with BNP Pari-
bas Commodity Futures in New York
thinks Irene is pushing up oil because
of the possible problems that coastal
flooding could cause for refineries and
shipping. Refineries in Delaware, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia pro-
duce nearly 8 percent of the countrys
gasoline and diesel fuel.
New CEO for troubled AMD
Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices
Inc. has named Rory P. Read, who was
an executive from PC maker Lenovo
Group, as its new CEO Thursday, giv-
ing him a mission to improve the strug-
gling companys finances and turn the
rise of smartphones and tablets into an
opportunity rather than a threat.
AMD, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is
Intel Corp.s only sizeable competitor
when it comes to making PC proc-
essors, with about 20 percent of the
market.
Shorts ban extended
Several European countries that
banned short-selling have extended the
prohibition until the end of September.
When concerns about European
banks exposure to Greek debt sent
their stocks plummeting two weeks
ago, market regulators in Belgium,
France, Greece, Italy and Spain stepped
in to prohibit traders from betting on
the decline in a shares price.

NEW YORK Warren Buffett is
coming to the rescue of another fallen
giant.
Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
announced Thursday that it would in-
vest $5 billion in Bank of America
Corp., giving a much-needed vote of
confidence to the beleaguered bank.
The news sent the banks stock soar-
ing 9 percent on a day when the broad-
er market fell sharply.
Buffett is Bank of Americas white
knight, said Glenn Schorr, bank ana-
lyst at Nomura equity research.
As recently as Tuesday, the banks
stock had plunged 50 percent from a
year ago on concerns over the banks
mortgage problems
and worries that it
would have to sell
large amounts of stock
to shore up its balance
sheet.
Investors confi-
dence in the bank took
another blow this month as its mort-
gage headaches got worse. On Aug. 8,
American International Group Inc.
sued Bank of America for more than
$10 billion, saying the bank deceived
the insurer by selling it faulty mort-
gage investments. Much of the Char-
lotte, N.C. banks problems stem from
its 2008 purchase of the countrys
largest mortgage lender Countrywide
Financial Corp., but it faces a litany of
other challenges.
Half of all American households
have an account or do business with
Bank of America, making it even more
exposed than its rivals to weakness in
the economy.
The (Buffett) investment elimi-
nates the big credibility gap that man-
agement had with investors, said Jo-
nathan Finger, partner of Houston-
based Finger Interests Ltd. Its time
now to demonstrate they have a plan
to grow the business.
Buffetts investments have usually
proven to be both prescient and profit-
able. Buffett pumped $5 billion into
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. at the
height of the 2008 financial crisis,
helping to reverse a crisis of confi-
dence in the investment bank and the
U.S. banking system in general after
the collapse of investment bank Leh-
man Brothers. He also invested $3 bil-
lion in General Electric Co.
Buffetts investments in Goldman
and GE paid annual dividends of 10
percent, and wound up paying off.
Buffett said in a statement Thursday
he called Bank of Americas CEO
Brian Moynihan to ask about invest-
ing because he considered the bank a
strong, well-led company.
Berkshire will receive a dividend of
6 percent on its investment in Bank of
America. Berkshire will get 50,000
preferred shares in the bank and war-
rants to purchase 700 million shares of
common stock at $7.14 per share.

SEATTLE Starbucks
CEO Howard Schultz said
more than 100 business
leaders support his pledge
to break an economic cy-
cle of fear and uncertainty.
He listed 25 of them, in-
cluding the CEO of AOL
and the chairman of Intuit,
in another letter Wednes-
day.
He also announced the
debut of a new website
called
www.Up-
wardSpi-
ral2011.org
and its Face-
book coun-
terpart to
connect
voices and
ideas across
the country.
Schultz is
calling for a
stop to cam-
paign contri-
butions for
incumbents
in Washing-
ton until
they reach a
long-term debt deal, and
for business leaders to ac-
celerate employment.
Starbucks cut 39,000 jobs
between September 2008
and September 2010, but
has hired 36,000 people in
the U.S. and Canada since
January and expects to hire
70,000 more people in the
United States over the next
six to 12 months.
Turnover is high in the
fast-food business, and
Starbucks declined to say
how many new hires were
filling positions created by
turnover.
In his latest letter,
Schultz quotes other busi-
ness leaders who have writ-
ten to him with their ideas.
For example, JetBlue Air-
ways Chairman Joel Peter-
son suggests demanding
that congressional lawmak-
ers sign a pledge to pub-
lish a zero-base review of
every department with rec-
ommendations for real and
significant cost cutting
the kind nearly every Amer-
ican family and business
has had to do.

Personal income increased 2.9 percent in
2010, accordingtonewdatafromtheBureau
of EconomicAnalysis. Theuptickinperson-
al income which includes income re-
ceived by all people from all sources
comes after a1.9percent dropin2009.
This personal income growth looks to be
pretty widespread: of the 366 metropolitan
areas that the Bureauof Economic Analysis
tracks, income went up in 316, down in 45,
and stayed the same in four. But howmuch
income increased varies a lot by location. It
ranges from a high of 10.1 percent in Eliza-
bethtown, Ky., to an income dip of 0.9 per-
cent inGrandJunction, Colo.
The places that have done well seem to
haveafewthingsincommon. Manyhavebig
populations; all 15 of the largest metropoli-
tanareassawincomeincrease. Twoof those
SanJose, Calif. andWashington, D.C.
sawenough of a rebound to bring earnings
to new highs, offsetting decreases in 2008
and2009.
Areas withheavyreliance onenergyindus-
tries saw stronger income growth. Mining
towns like Williamsport and Odessa, Texas,
areamongthemetropolitanareasthatsawthe
biggest spikeinpersonal incomegrowth.
Last, earnings fromgovernment jobs also
playakeyrolehere. Inthefourmetropolitan
areas with the fastest personal income
growth, military earnings grew by 14 per-
cent. Generally, areas more reliant on non-
cyclical industries like health care and edu-
cationalsofaredprettywell.
What didthe worst? Out of the 21private
sector industries that the Bureau of Eco-
nomic Analysis tracks, only three saw de-
creased earnings: real estate, construction
andutilities.

ANFRANCISCOIts easy to forget
now, but Applesmagnetismwasonce
confined to a cult-like following of
geeks seduced by the elegance and simplic-
ity of the companys computers.
Over the past decade, though, Apple has
emergedas a trendsetter anda wealth-mak-
ing machine the rare company that ap-
pealstothecool catshangingoutinhipcafes
andthefat catslookingtomakeanotherkill-
ingonWall Street.
In the process, Apple has left an indelible
mark that extends far beyond that first per-
sonal computer Steve Jobs and Steve Woz-
niakintroduced35yearsago. Sincethen, Ap-
ple has transformed the music, retailing,
marketing and cellphone industries. Now,
its engineering yet another evolution in
computing with the increasingly popular
iPadtablet.
Those achievements have endeared Ap-
ple to the masses, turning its product an-
nouncementsintothetechnologyindustrys
latter-day version of a Beatles concert and
turning its familiar logo into an emblem of
exquisite taste.
Part visionary, showman and uncompro-
mising taskmaster, Jobs assembled a team
that hadanincredibleknackforanticipating
consumer trends and popularizing themby
designing devices that were easy andde-
lightful to use. It seemedas if the second
coming of Walt Disney and the rest of the
imagineers who built Disneyland during
the mid-1950s hadcome to SiliconValley to
leadthe way intothe 21st century.
In the past decade, the iPod, iPhone and
iPad have transformed society, enabling
people to bring along their favorite music,
books, videos and websites almost every-
where they go. In the process they inspired
countless imitators and ensured that Jobs,
who resigned Wednesday, will be remem-
beredas oneof themost successful CEOs in
Americanhistory.
None of it would have happened if Jobs
hadnt returnedtoApple in1997 after being
pushedout of thecompanyinthemid-1980s
by John Sculley, a CEOthat Jobs had lured
away from Pepsico Inc. by asking, Do you
wanttospendtherestof yourlifesellingsug-
ared water or do you want a chance to
change the world?
Jobs wizardry rescued a company on the
precipice of bankruptcy and elevated it into
thesecondmost valuablebusiness inAmer-
ica. It nowhas amarket valueof nearly$350
billion.

Apples uncertain future
The resignation of Steve Jobs as Apples CEO leaves financial analysts and mutual
fund managers divided about how the company will do.

Apple stock recovered after Steve Jobs began his
third medical leave in January. It fell nearly 1 percent
Thursday after news of his resignation as CEO.
Buying opportunity,
but long-term
questions
William Power,
analyst, Baird & Co.
The stock could climb
above $500 in the next
two years. Apple has
an experienced,
creative management
team. But there are
questions about how
innovative it will be
without Jobs. Well
have a better answer in
10 years, Power says.
A growth story
even without Jobs
Sandy Villere III, portfolio
manager, Villere & Co.
The Villere Balanced fund
bought Apple last week.
Managers dont regret it.
Apple will grow as more
iPhones and other products
are sold in China. About 5
percent of mobile phones
sold worldwide last quarter
were fromApple, according
to Gartner. If it goes to 15
percent, the stock will
double, Villere says.
The best long-term
tech stock
Gene Munster,
analyst, Piper Jaffray
This is the best name
in technology if you
plan to hold a stock
for more than five
years, Munster says.
He says Apple can
rise to $609 in the
next year. He predicts
Apple will come up
with innovative
products, including
some for TVs.
Look to China
Clyde Montevirgen,
analyst, Standard &
Poors
Montevirgen is confident
about Apple. One reason:
China. Third-quarter
revenue from China,
Hong Kong and Taiwan
combined rose more than
six times from a year
earlier. If Apple signs a
deal to sell its iPhone to
China Mobiles 600
million subscribers,
income could soar.

The parent company of Payless
ShoeSource and Stride Rite shoe
stores plans to close 475 stores and
will consider selling itself.
The chip maker named Rory Read,
the president and COO of PC mak-
er Lenovo, its new CEO.
Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hatha-
way will invest $5 billion in the bank,
whose shares had lost nearly half
their value this year.
A three-day rally ended much like it began, with a
steep and sudden turn. Stocks started higher early
Thursday but turned lower within 20 minutes. The
Dow fell 170.89 points, or 1.5 percent, to
11,149.82. The S&P 500 fell 18.33, or 1.6 percent,
to 1,159.27. The Nasdaq fell 48.06, or 2 percent,
to 2,419.63. More than three stocks fell for every
one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.
Trading volume was above average at 5 billion
shares.

Today will be a
rather warm and
humid day with
limited sunshine
and no chance
of rain. Areas of
fog this morning
will form again
tonight under
mostly clear
skies. We are
getting into our
fog season now
as the nights
lengthen and the
air remains quite
humid. On
Saturday, skies
will turn cloudy
and there might
be some light
rain later in the
day as Irene
approaches.
Then on Sunday,
as the storm
passes by just to
our east, a
northerly wind
will gust to
between 30 and
40 mph along
with heavy rain
squalls. Small
streams may
flood but not the
rivers. The worst
of the storm
should be over
by 9 p.m. Sunday
evening.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Hurricane Irene will be approaching the coast of the Southeast, with showers
and thunderstorms from Florida to the Carolinas. A few scattered thunderstorms will be possible over
Virginia as well. A cold front will produce thunderstorms over the Upper Midwest, while high pressure
rules from the southern Plains to the Northeast.
