Only hours after getting off a bus from northeastern Pennsylvania, only a handful of Portland Pirates, including head coach Kevin Dineen, skated Friday afternoon at Family Ice Center.
Dineen's legs may have been a little heavy after the seven-hour ride and a few hours of sleep, but the Pirates rested a little easier after returning to Portland with a split of the first two games of the American Hockey League's Eastern Conference finals against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

HERSHEY - Little needed to be said to the Hershey Bears after their 3-1 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Saturday night.

Happy Labor Day and while you might be celebrating the unofficial end of summer, the International League is marking the official end of its season. Today is the final day of play in the regular season and here are some of the storylines:
---The Bisons finish their campaign with a 1 p.m. game at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After splitting Sunday night's doubleheader (with the second game cut short by rain), the Bisons are 61-81. They have thus lost 80 games in a season for the second time in three years with the New York Mets -- but just the third time in its 27 years of modern-era Triple-A ball. Not a good reflection for the Amazins.

This article was originally written in September 2009 prior to the release of the H1N1 vaccine. As we go to press, one out of six Americans has had H1N1 flu and about 10,000 have died. After the first two months of vaccine use and 46.2 million doses, the rate of Guillain-Barré syndrome in vaccine recipients was lower than expected baseline rates, and the vaccine had not been found to cause any serious adverse event.

James Brozena, P.E., executive director of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority, has called the RiverCommon "the third grand public works project in the city's history," and couples it with the Market Street Bridge and Luzerne County Courthouse. (Somewhere, a Wilkes-Barrean shudders, remembering that maroon, circa-1970s canopy.) With said canopy gone, Circles on the Square Delicatessen and Emporium, a Square staple since 1985, took advantage of a Diamond City Partnership (DCP) Downtown Wakes-Barre Business Improvement District (BID) facade grant, and, after almost 25 years without a proper sign, erected an illuminated block letter sign, as have many formerly sign-less businesses.

ROCHESTER -- Here's what's still in my notebook and my mind after the Amerks' dismal 5-1 loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in Thursday's home opener.
---The Amerks need offense. And I'm not talking Matt Ellis. Their center play has been poor so far. Michael Ryan has to lead the offense and he's been invisible so far. Zack Kassian and Marcus Foligno have been ordinary at best. The lack of offense was a fear.
