WILKES-BARRE — Three
men jailed on simple assault
charges are being investigated
for the shooting of two girls at
Sherman Hills last month.
Luzerne County Assistant
District Attorney Brian
Coleman made the statement
to District Judge Martin Kane
while arguing Thursday against
the reduction of bail for Taleek
Sistrunk, 21, of 308 N. Empire
Court, Wilkes-Barre, and Trevor
Whitaker, 26, of Brooklyn, N.Y.
A third man, Jevaun Brown,
24, of 19 S. Empire Court, was
not at the hearing.
Coleman sought a continu-
ance of the preliminary hear-
ing for Sistrunk, Whitaker and
Brown because Brown is in need
of a conflict attorney to repre-
sent him. A conflict attorney is a
private attorney who is appoint-
ed and paid by the court to rep-
resent a defendant because the
county Public Defender’s Office
has a conflict of interest.
Whitaker’s attorney, Public
Defender Ferris Webby and
Sistrunk’s attorney, Allyson
Kacmarski, asked Kane to
reduce the $50,000 bail for their
clients.
Coleman argued against any
bail reduction, saying, “They
are being investigated for the
shooting of two children at
Sherman Hills.”
Kane declined to modify their
bail.
City police arrested Sistrunk,
Whitaker and Brown on Aug. 24,
several hours
after Janiya
McFarlane, 5,
and Gabrielle
Morris, 2,
were shot in
Apartment 614
in Building 328
at Sherman
Hills.
The three men were alleg-
edly involved in a fight at 91 N.
Empire Court over a missing
bank card, according to arrest
papers.
Investigators linked the three
men to the shooting with a 1999
Dodge minivan with a tire on
the roof. The vehicle was seized

WILKES-BARRE — The FBI is investigating a
complaint that a bottle of children’s chewable Advil
tablets purchased at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on East
Northampton Street was tampered with.
Rite Aid spokeswoman Ashley Flower said in an
email the pharmacy is cooperating with authorities.
“Though we believe this to be an isolated incident,
out of an abundance of caution, we have removed the
product from our Wilkes-Barre area locations, until the
investigation is complete,” she said. “We are aware of
and are investigating a customer concern involving
an over-the-counter product purchased at one of our
Wilkes-Barre area stores. We have and will continue
to cooperate fully with the authorities regarding this
matter.”
A check of the shelves on Thursday showed no
chewable Advil tablets in the children’s medicine aisle.
There were Infants’ Advil drops and adult Advil prod-
ucts on other shelves, however.
Steve Danehy, senior manager at Pﬁzer, the manu-
facturer of Advil, said the company is cooperating with
authorities.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey on Thursday said
Pennsylvania is ranked No. 1 in something no
state wants to be — deﬁcient bridges.
Casey, D-Scranton, held a teleconference
fromWashingtontoannouncehewill introduce
a bill to increase funding for bridges owned by
counties or municipalities in Pennsylvania by
$30 million. The state received $74 million
last year for bridge repairs.
The move comes as
Pennsylvania continues
to struggle to upgrade its
bridges. Casey’s biparti-
san bill will be introduced
with U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt,
R-Missouri.
Casey said Pennsylvania
has 5,543 deﬁcient bridges
— nearly 25 percent of all spans in the state
— and he said they are located in small towns
and rural areas. This translates to more than
19 million daily trips taken over structurally
deﬁcient bridges, according to data provided
by Casey’s ofﬁce.
According to the data, there are 122 deﬁ-
cient municipal or county-owned bridges in
Luzerne County, 82 in Lackawanna County,
42 in Wyoming County, 69 in Lycoming
County and 118 in Monroe County.

will create jobs and ensure our counties and

BEIRUT — Syrian
President Bashar Assad
publicly agreed Thursday
to a Russian plan to
secure and destroy his
chemical weapons, but
said the proposal would
work only if the U.S.
halts threats of military
action.
Assad also said his
government will start
submitting data on its
chemical weapons stock-
pile a month after sign-
ing the convention ban-
ning such weapons.
Syria’s U.N. ambassa-
dor Bashar Ja’afari told
reporters Thursday that
he presented Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon
with “the instrument
of accession” to the
Chemical Weapons
Convention making his
country a full member

ment.
“Given recent events,

SCRANTON — A grand jury
in Scranton on Tuesday indicted
a Wilkes-Barre man on a fed-
eral drug charge, with authorities
alleging he dealt drugs out of a
Kingston hotel.
James King, 47, of South Street,
was indicted on a charge of pos-
session of heroin with intent to
distribute, the U.S. Attorney’s
Ofﬁce for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania announced on
Wednesday.
According to U.S. Attorney
Peter J. Smith, King was arrested
in April 2013 in connection with
a drug sale in Kingston during
an investigation conducted by
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives and the
Luzerne County Drug Task Force.
The case is assigned to Assistant
U.S. Attorney Todd K. Hinkley.
According to Times Leader
archives based on separate crimi-
nal complaints ﬁled in April,
Kingston and Swoyersville police
ofﬁcers acting as members of the
Luzerne County Drug Task Force
met on March 30 with a conﬁ-
dential informant, who later that
day made a controlled purchase
of heroin from a man using the
alias “Mel” and staying in a room
at at the Budget Inn on Wyoming
Avenue in Kingston.
Further investigation revealed
King was the man who sold the
drugs, police said. An undercover
ofﬁcer with the task force then
arranged a drug buy from King on
April 5 and bought ﬁve packets of
heroin for $100, court records said.
Inconnectionwith the March 30
incident, King was charged with
delivery of a controlled substance,
possession with intent to deliver a
controlled substance and posses-
sion of a controlled substance. He
was charged with identical counts
in the April 5 incident as well as
two counts of criminal conspiracy
and one count of criminal use of a
communication facility.
King is currently awaiting trial
in Luzerne County Court on those
charges.
The federal charge carries a
maximum penalty of 20 years
in prison, a term of supervised
release after imprisonment, and a
ﬁne.

SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — A massive ﬁre
spitting ﬁst-sized embers engulfed dozens
of businesses along an iconic Jersey shore
boardwalk Thursday, as workers racing
to contain the blaze’s advance ripped up
stretches of walkway only recently replaced
in the wake of SuperstormSandy.
That last-ditch effort to save the heart
of the town’s tourism business — and its
very economic survival — appeared to
have worked. Two hours after public works
crews ripped out a 25-foot swath of board-
walk that had been hurriedly rebuilt for a
visit to Seaside Heights by Prince Harry in
May, the ﬂames had not advanced past the
break.
Heavy equipment ﬁlled the breach with
tall walls of sand to form makeshift dunes
holding back not waves but ﬁre.
“So far, so good,” said Robert Matthies,
the mayor of neighboring Seaside Park,
where the blaze began around 2:30 p.m.
The blaze remained out of control as of
8:30 p.m. but ﬁreﬁghters reported some
progress in containing it.
The 6-alarm blaze began in a frozen cus-
tard stand on the Seaside Park portion of
the boardwalk and fanned by 15-20 mph
winds from an approaching storm system,
quickly spread north into Seaside Heights,
the boardwalk town where the MTV series
“Jersey Shore” was ﬁlmed—andwhere the
October storm famously plunged a roller
coast into the ocean.
No serious injuries were reported, but
the blaze destroyed all 32 businesses on
the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk,
borough Councilwoman Nancy Koury told
The Associated Press. An undetermined
number of additional boardwalk businesses
in Seaside Heights also were burned.
The ﬁre burned eight blocks: four on
either side of the two towns’ border,
Matthies said.
“We’re going to be here for several days,”
one ﬁreﬁghter said as he rushed toward the
ﬂames. A line of powerful thunderstorms
that battered part of New Jersey swung
north of Seaside Park, offering no help to
some 400 ﬁreﬁghters battling the ﬂames.
The livelihoods of the two popular Jersey
shore resort communities depend on sum-
mer tourism and they had just spent mil-
lions of dollars rebuilding their boardwalks,
arcade games, pizza stands and bar and
grills to be ready for the summer season.
“It’s devastating; I’ve been crying all
afternoon,” said Shirley Kreszl, who has
rented a summer home in Seaside Park for
decades. “Haven’t we been hit enough? We
try to rebuild and just when we think we
saved a little bit of our town, this happens.
It’s just not fair.”
Gov. Chris Christie, who raced to the ﬁre
scene, was typically blunt describing his
thoughts as he approached the blaze.
“I feel like I want to throwup,” he said.
Koury said the ﬁre caused several million
dollars’ worth of damage. At one point, she
said, ﬂames jumped across Ocean Avenue,
the oceanfront street, and ignited two or
three small houses but ﬁreﬁghters quickly
doused them. A motel near the boardwalk
also was engulfed in ﬂames.
For hours, two boardwalk businesses,
an arcade and the popular Saw Mill Cafe,
escaped the ﬂames. But shortly before
7 p.m. the arcade was engulfed in a huge
orange ﬁreball that rolled into the darken-
ing sky, and ﬂames licked against the side
of the Saw Mill; it could not immediately
be determined howbadly damaged the cafe
was.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Koury
said as she watched the ﬂames devour
boardwalk structures. “Our small business
people went through so much in the storm
to get ready for summer and stay open all
summer, and now it’s all gone. I just can’t
believe it.”
Ofﬁcials said the ﬁre got underneath the
boardwalk, making it even more difﬁcult to
extinguish.
“It’s underneath the boards, and its com-
ing up through the cracks,” Koury said. “It’s
making it harder to get water on it.”
Matthies said the businesses were pri-
marily wood with tar roofs and shingles,
which accelerated the ﬁre.
In Seaside Heights, real estate agent
Michael Loundy, who works with the
borough on tourism related projects, was
pained as he watched ﬁreﬁghters make
a stand against the ﬂames on DuPont
Avenue, several blocks from the Seaside
Park border.
“It’s raging,” he said “It is absolutely rag-
ing. The wind is blowing something ﬁerce,
making it very difﬁcult for ﬁreﬁghters to
ﬁght.”

HARRISBURG — A Pennsylvania grand jury
has charged a Clarks Summit man with threaten-
ing to kill President Barack Obama.
Prosecutors say in a Thursday release that
42-year-old Nicholas Savino allegedly sent a
threatening e-mail to the White House on Aug.
16.
The e-mail allegedly said that Obama is the
Anti-Christ and that he must stand down or be
shot dead.
The charges stem from an investigation by the
U.S. Secret Service andthe Clarks Summit police.
On Aug. 23, the day Obama visited Scranton
and the region, local police seized ammunition
and weapons at a home in Clarks Summit on
behalf of the Secret Service.
Savino couldn’t be located for comment.

PLAINS TWP. — Township commis-
sioners offered some hope for a solution
Thursday night to residents who have
repeatedly complained about truck traffic
along Ridgewood Road and East Saylor
Avenue.
Commissioners said they are planning
meetings with state Sen. John Yudichak
and state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski about
the possibility of stop lights and other
measures to control noise, pollution and
damage from the trucks.
The township is also in the process
of pricing scales so that trucks can be
monitored for possible weight restriction
violations, they said.
Township officials also said they
are talking with the owners of Wilkes-
Barre Materials about the possibility of
constructing an access road to state Route
315 that will eliminate the need to go
through the Keystone section neighbor-
hoods.
The complaints from residents in the
area regarding activity at the Wilkes-
Barre Materials and Popple Construction
quarries, which have been consistent for
years, have sharply increased since this
spring.
In other matters, it was announced there
will be a public meeting Sept. 23, at 7 p.m.
to discuss the results of recent surveys
and to seek public input about a compre-
hensive plan to be put together for future
township activity.
Earlier their year, one of every three
homes in the township received a sur-
vey regarding general progress and
development within the township in the
coming years. Roughly 40 percent of the
surveys were completed and returned,
commissioners said.
Commissioners urged as many residents
as possible to attend the meeting, noting
the significance this will hold for residents
well into the future.
The next regular Board of Commissioners
meeting will be on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m.

WRIGHT TWP. — A
Mountain Top man was

charges he burglarized a res-
taurant where he worked for
one day.
Joshua Kloeker, 21, of Oak
Drive, was charged by town-
ship police with burglary,
criminal trespass, receiving
stolen property, theft and
criminal mischief. He was
released without bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:

one entered a window and
stole more than $2,000, a

recorded the face of the sus-
pect who police identiﬁed as
Kloeker, the complaint says.
The restaurant owner told
police Kloeker worked at the
restaurant for one day on
Aug. 3 and quit at the end of
his shift.
Kloeker and the restau-
rant owner said hello to each
other at the St. Jude’s Bazaar
several hours before the bur-
glary, police said.
Kloeker denied he burglar-
ized the restaurant and told
police he was drinking heav-
ily and could not remember
the night of Aug. 11 into
Aug. 12, the complaint says.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Sept. 18.

KINGSTON — A report
from the state Auditor
General’s Ofﬁce accuses
Wyoming Valley West School
Board of “wasting” more
than $1.1 million in taxpay-
er money in a lengthy and
failed battle with the West
Side Career and Technology
Center, where more than 300
WVW students are enrolled
annually.
The rebuke comes at the
end of what is otherwise a
clean audit report designed
to ensure districts are in com-
pliance with state and federal
law.
The Auditor General’s
Ofﬁce makes no recommen-
dations for punishment or
other state actions, but does
chastise the board and urges
it to “consider the taxpayers’
expectation that their money
will be used wisely for the edu-
cation of the district’s children
when approving or rejecting
agreements.”
The criticism centers on the
board’s April 2008 decision
not to approve what is usually
a routine agreement among
the ﬁve member school dis-
tricts that send students to
the center for both career and
academic training. Terms of
the agreement include setting
the number of representatives
each member district can
have on the Joint Operating
Committee that runs the cen-
ter.
The report notes that dis-
trict administration waived
the opportunity to respond
to audit ﬁndings before they
are made public. Contacted
Thursday, board member
Brian Dubaskas said the
issues between the district
and the center had been ongo-
ing years before the stretch
cited by the report.
“It was a decision that
was made because we need-
ed to make sure everyone
understood our concerns,”
Dubaskas said, and that it
probably helped improve
things at the center for the
district.
For years, Wyoming Valley
West has argued it should
have greater
represent a-
tion on the
JOC because
it provides a
much larger
perc ent age
of students
to the cen-
ter than any other member
district. The report notes
the board refused to sign the
agreement in 2008 because it
wanted changes in represen-
tation, ﬁnancial planning and
proposed center upgrades.
But refusing to sign the
agreement meant WVW was
no longer a “member” of the
JOC and thus had to pay a
higher “non-member” tuition
for each student, a situation
that lasted for more than two
years. The auditor general
report contends the district
spent $1,159,331 more in
tuition than it would have
spent if it had been a member.
The report also notes that
the board voted to sign the
agreement in June 2010 for
one year only, but that the time
limitation was not relayed
in writing to the JOC and
the JOC ultimately rejected
WVW’s return to the fold. The
confusion was not cleared up
until January 2011, when the
WVW board voted to return
to the center JOC retroactive
to July 1, 2010.
“While I am pleased to note
that Wyoming Valley West
School District is once again
a member of the career center
and is no longer paying the
higher non-resident tuition,
it is distressing that taxpay-
ers are out more than $1 mil-
lion that could have been
better used in the district’s
classrooms,” Auditor General
Eugene DePasquale said in a
press release.

Judge OKs
mental
infrmity
defense
WILKES-BARRE — A Luzerne
County senior judge ruled
Thursday that a mental inﬁrmi-
ty defense request made by the
attorneys of a woman charged
in a deadly 2008 hit-and-run was
ﬁled in timely fashion.
But, the mental inﬁrmity
request of Megan Panowicz, of
Forty Fort, won’t go to a jury yet.
Defense attorneys still have to
address a request by prosecutors
to have the defense thrown out
because it is “improper” — mean-
ing a scheduled Sept. 23 trial
has been postponed until at least
December.
Panowicz, 28, is charged in
the August 2008 death of Sharon
Shaughnessy, who was killed on
Wyoming Avenue in Kingston
when she was reportedly struck
by three vehicles.
Senior Judge Charles Brown
ruled Thursday that Panowicz’s
attorneys — her father, Robert
Panowicz, and Basil Russin —
ﬁled the defense in enough time
and that he would not preclude
Panowicz from presenting the
defense out of “fairness and jus-
tice.”
Brown scheduled a hearing
for Sept. 23 to hear attorneys’
arguments on Deputy Attorney
General Clarke Madden’s request
that the defense is “improper”
and not legal at this point in the
case.
Brown also continued the Sept.
23 trial date to begin with jury
selection on Dec. 3. Brown said
the “particular, and unusual, cir-
cumstances of the case” led him
to his decision.
Panowicz previously had
sought to use other defense meth-
ods in the case that were thrown
out by Brown. There was also an
issue involving whether Panowicz
would face a misdemeanor or
felony charge in the case; the
Superior Court ultimately ruled
Panowicz would face a felony
charge of accidents involving
death or personal injury.
The state Supreme Court said
it would not hear an appeal of the
felony charge.
Recently, Panowicz’s attor-
neys ﬁled court papers notifying
Brown they intend to use a men-
tal inﬁrmity defense in the case.
Panowicz has a “longstanding
disorder,” a post-traumatic stress
disorder, that causes her to avoid
stressful situations by “attempt-
ing to over self control,” they say.
“The events which caused her
to have post-traumatic stress
rendered her incapable of appre-
ciating the signiﬁcance or conse-
quences of her behavior and affect-
ed her ability to determine what
was right or wrong at that crucial
moment,” the attorneys wrote.

George Lee Barnes, 23, taken from Luzerne County
Court in wheelchair due to medical emergency
WILKES-BARRE — A Luzerne
County judge on Thursday heard tes-
timony in the homicide case of George
Lee Barnes as his attorneys tried to
have evidence in the
case thrown out.
Judge Michael
Vough apparently will
have to wait until
next week to hear the
rest of the testimony,
as Barnes suffered a
medical emergency
during the court pro-
ceeding and had to be
taken to a hospital.
Barnes, 23, is charged with killing
Daron Rhashan Trollinger, 26, at an
Edwardsville apartment complex on
May 16.
Barnes shot Trollinger during a mar-
ijuana sale inside an apartment build-
ing at Eagle Ridge on Beverly Drive,
according to state police at Wyoming.
Barnes was captured by U.S. Marshals
in Philadelphia on May 25.
Assistant district attorneys Molly
Hanlon Mirabito and Brian Coleman
were in the process of calling witness-
es to testify that Barnes had agreed to
allow police to obtain DNA and other
evidence when Barnes became ill.
The courtroom was emptied and,
within minutes, paramedics took
Barnes from the courtroom in a wheel-
chair.
Vough said the hearing will resume
next week, depending on Barnes’
health.
Barnes’ attorneys, John Pike and
Paul Galante, were seeking to have
the evidence thrown out, and pros-
ecutors called Edwardsville police
officer Charles Benson, state Trooper
Stephen Polishan and former state
Trooper Richard Weinstock.
The officers testified they were noti-
fied of the shooting and were told
to go to Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center to ensure the safety
of a gunshot victim — Barnes. He had
suffered a gunshot wound to the chest
and a bullet grazed his forehead.
The officers testified Barnes agreed
to search warrants, appeared to be
coherent and was speaking with
police.
Weinstock testified Barnes told him
he went to visit a friend at the apart-
ment complex, but his friend was not
home so he was in the process of leav-
ing when a Hispanic male pointed a
gun at his head. Barnes said there was
a struggle and the gun went off a num-
ber of times, so he fled.
While running, Barnes became short
of breath and realized he had been
shot. He went to his nearby home and
his girlfriend called 911.
Barnes said the man with whom he
struggled was someone familiar, but
that he could not remember the man’s
name, according to testimony. Barnes
said he could identify the man’s cloth-
ing and some tattoos, and recognized
him to be in the “Philly mafia” street
gang.

KINGSTON — Wyoming Valley West
School Board took heat Wednesday night
over changes in the library program at the
middle school.
Librarian Joann Prushinski has been
transferred from the middle school and is
now covering the libraries at three elemen-
tary schools. At present, there is no certiﬁed
librarian at the middle school.
A grievance has been ﬁled by the teachers
union over the transfer.
Mike Harper of Kingston presented the
board with a petition bearing over 800 names
asking the board to reinstate a certiﬁed
librarian at the middle school. The petition
stated WVWmiddle school students are ﬁrst
exposed to an online catalog and databases at
the middle school level and that the absence
of a librarian would deprive them of needed
skills.
“The love of books, the love of reading and
the inspiration of research depends on this,”
Harper said. “Kids need every resource they
can get,” he said.
Another resident got angry over the situa-
tion and said that the lack of a librarian at the
middle school was “obscene.”
“Our kids can’t even get a book!” he said.
A third resident asked the board what
could be done about the situation.
Board President Gordon Dussinger said
nothing could be done as long as the griev-
ance process was ongoing.
After the meeting, Dussinger said the new
plan was for the middle school teachers to
bring their students to the library. “We call it
a resource center,” he said.
Dussinger admitted the board might have
to rethink the plan.
“It might not work out,” he said. “If it
doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
The board heard a presentation on the pro-
posed 501 (c) (3) foundation for the district.
The Spartan Foundation will allow the dis-
trict to solicit tax-deductible donations from
private individuals and fromcorporations.
The board hired Glenda Hammersley as an
occupational therapist at a salary of $47,500
plus a $1,040 2013 stipend.

PITTSTON — Housing
issues were the primary
focus of the City Council
meeting Wednesday
night.
The meeting was domi-
nated by parties upset
about the recently beefed-
up city rental inspection
and safety ordinance.
Also, council appointed
former Mayor Michael
Lombardo to the city’s
Housing Authority.
Several landlords, a
lawyer and former con-
gressional candidate
Laureen Cummings, of
Old Forge, who repre-
sents the Lackawanna,
Luzerne and Monroe
Counties Homeowner,
Landlord and Tenant
Association, raised con-
cerns to council about the
law.
Council in June updat-
ed an ordinance requiring
biennial safety and ﬁre
inspections of all rental
units and businesses. The
goal, ofﬁcials have said, is
to protect the health and
safety of residents and
to clean dilapidated and
neglected properties.
Cummings said the
ordinance, similar to
ones recently passed in
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre
and East Stroudsburg, is
unconstitutional under
the Fourth Amendment,
which protects citizens
against unreasonable
search and seizure. She
said a federal, class-
action lawsuit could be
ﬁled against the city.
“This is a constitu-
tional quandary,” said
Cummings. “The people
need to stand up and say
‘This is wrong, you can-
not go into somebody’s
home.’ ”
Solicitor Sam Falcone
said he would be willing
to review any case law
that is brought before
him, but he’s sure the
city’s ordinance is on
solid footing.
“We’re ﬁnding out the
10-day restriction may be
too tight, we’re ﬁnding
out that certain things
have to be relaxed,”
Falcone said. “But none
of this is unconstitution-
al. If you have a federal
or state case that says it’s
unconstitutional, I’ll be
happy to read it.”
Meanwhile, Lombardo
was appointed to the
Housing Authority.
He will replace Tony
Guariglia, whose term
has expired.
The Klush administra-
tion is making the move as
part of the Neighborhood
Housing Stabilization and
Development Initiative,
announced last year.
Lombardo, a member of
a the city’s Redevelopment
Authority, said there’s
a “required overlap”
between the Housing and
Redevelopment authori-
ties and he welcomes the
opportunity to bridge the
gap.
In other business:
• A new trafﬁc light, at
the corner of Market and
Main streets, is in the
ﬁnal stages of approval.
Council passedsevenreso-
lutions, as required by the
Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation, to
recalibrate all of the lights
so they will be synchro-
nized.
Ofﬁcials have said
the gap between the
Columbus Street and
the Broad Street lights
is too large and people
are speeding through the
downtown. City ofﬁcials
and PennDOT agree the
new light will act as a
“trafﬁc-calming mecha-
nism.”
• The Trafﬁc
Committee notiﬁed coun-
cil a stop sign should be
placed at the Thompkins
and West Frothingham
street intersection.
• The city hired
Stephen Nowroski, of
Swoyersville, as a build-
ing code ofﬁcer with a
yearly salary of $56,000.

KINGSTON TWP.
— Resident Pat Devitt
addressed township super-
visors on Wednesday night
with complaints about the
Checkerboard Bar, which
he said was located directly
across the street from his
home.
Devitt, of Carverton Road,
saidit was necessary to effec-
tively abandon his home on
Friday and Saturday nights
because the bar’s noise “pen-
etrates my home.” He said
the area was zoned as resi-
dential.
“I believe several township
regulations preclude this
type of activity which inter-
feres with the quiet reason-
able enjoyment of my home,”
he said.
Devitt and his wife shared
an audio tape that they said
reﬂected a high level of noise
coming fromthe bar.
“You are now responsible
for what happens on upcom-
ing weekends,” he said.
Police Chief Jim Balavage
said he was aware the bar
had previously been cited
for excessive noise by the
Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board.
“We will have our adminis-
trative staff look into this and
report back to the board,”
said member JimReino.
In another matter, the
board approved the renewal
of PennDOT’s winter servic-
es agreement in anticipation
of upcoming weather events.
The board also approved
the installation of two GPS
units, facilitating trafﬁc
ﬂow in the township by
PennDOT. The township
will absorb 20 percent of the
cost the project, or $900.
The board approved the
purchase of nine computers
for the administration and
police department at a cost of
$6,024. Township Manager
Kathleen Sebastian said the
items were budgeted.
The board took a moment
to commemorate the 12th
anniversary of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks.
The next meeting of the
board will be on Oct. 9 at
7:30 p.m.

MOGADISHU, Somalia —
An American who became
one of Somalia’s most visible
Islamic rebels and was on the
FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist
list was killed Thursday by
rivals in the extremist group
al-Shabab, militants said.
The killing of Omar
Hammami, a native of
Daphne, Alabama, might
discourage other would-be
jihadis from the U.S. and
elsewhere from traveling to
Somalia, terrorism experts
said.
Hammami, who was
known as Abu Mansoor
Al-Amriki, or “the
American,” was killed in an
ambush in southern Somalia
following months on the run
after falling out with al-Sha-
bab’s top leader, militants
said.
Reports of Hammami’s
death have cropped up every
few months in Somalia, only
for him to resurface a short
while later. But J.M. Berger,
a U.S. terrorism expert who
closely follows the inner
workings of al-Shabab, said
he thinks the current death
reports are accurate.
The rebels did not imme-
diately present proof of
Hammami’s death.
Hammami was highly crit-
ical of Shabab’s leadership
over the past year and freely
shared his views in Internet
videos and on Twitter, mak-
ing him a marked man.
Somalia has been an
attractive destination for for-
eign fighters, and about two
dozen Somali-Americans
from Minneapolis have join-
ing al-Shabab in the past
several years. Hammami’s
death will hurt the group’s
recruitment efforts, said
Abdirizak Bihi, an advocate
for the Somali community in
Minnesota and the uncle of a
young man killed in Somalia
in 2008.
Along with Adam Gadahn
in Pakistan — a former
Osama bin Laden spokesman
— the 29-year-old Hammami
was one of the two most
notorious Americans in
jihadi groups. He grew up
in Daphne, a community of
20,000 outside Mobile, the
son of a Christian mother
and a Syrian-born Muslim
father.
His YouTube videos that
featured him rapping and
his presence on Twitter
made him one of the most
recognizable and studied
U.S. foreign fighters. The
FBI put Hammami on its
Most Wanted Terrorist list
in 2012 and offered a $5
million reward in March for
information leading to his
capture.
U.S. prosecutors had
charged Hammami with pro-
viding material support to
terrorists. PITTSBURGH
Zoo says mauling
was mom’s fault
The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
says the mother of a 2-year-old boy who
was fatally mauled when he fell into a
wild African dogs exhibit is to blame for
her son’s death and shouldn’t be allowed
to sue.
The zoo’s attorneys made that argu-
ment in a response ﬁled this week to
the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by
Jason and Elizabeth Derkosh, whose son,
Maddox, died Nov. 4 after falling over a
4-foot-tall wooden railing into the exhibit
when his mother lifted him up to get a
better look.
The parents’ attorney, Robert
Mongeluzzi, said the zoo “failed miser-
ably in their solemn responsibility to pre-
vent the attack” and has “now shameless-
ly attacked Maddox’s grieving mother.
We look forward to exposing their reck-
less conduct, in discovery, and at trial.”
Allegheny County District Attorney
Stephen A. Zappala Jr. investigated
the boy’s death and deemed it a “tragic
accident,” deciding not to prosecute his
mother or zoo ofﬁcials on endangerment
or other charges.

Girl kills herself
afer online taunts
A 12-year-old Florida girl committed
suicide after she was bullied online by

said Thursday that he is investigat-
ing whether he can ﬁle charges under
Florida’s new law that covers cyber-bul-
lying.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said
that Rebecca Ann Sedwick jumped to
her death on Monday at an old cement
business in Lakeland, a city between
Tampa and Orlando. Investigators say
the girl was despondent after others had
posted hate messages about her online.
The Lakeland Ledger reported detec-
tives found multiple social media appli-
cations in which Sedwick was constantly
bullied with messages, including “Go kill
yourself,” and “Why are you still alive?”

Wednesday that a recent satellite image
appears to show that North Korea is

Nyongbyon nuclear facility, which was
shuttered in 2007 under the terms of a
six-nation disarmament agreement.

Women
outpace
men in job
recovery
WASHINGTON — U.S.
women have recovered all the
jobs they lost to the Great
Recession. The same can’t be
said for men, who remain 2.1
million jobs short.
The biggest factor is that
men dominate construction
and manufacturing — indus-
tries that have not recovered
millions of jobs lost during the
downturn. By contrast, women
have made up a disproportion-
ate share of workers in those
that have been hiring — retail,
education, health care, restau-
rants and hotels.
“It’s a segregated labor mar-
ket, and men and women do
work in different industries,
and even in different areas
within industries,” says Heidi
Hartmann, an economist and
president of the Institute for
Women’s Policy Research.
The gap was evident in the
August unemployment rates:
6.8 percent for women, 7.7 per-
cent for men.
In August, 68 million women
said they were employed, pass-
ing the more than the 67.97
million who had jobs when the
recession began in December
2007, the government says.
Among men, 76.2 million were
employed last month, down
from 78.3 million in December
2007.
Since June 2009, one of the
largest gains occurred in a mea-
sure of education and health
services jobs. That category
added nearly 1.6 million jobs,
second most of any industry.
And women gained nearly 1.1
million of those jobs.
Women have made big gains
in professional and business
services, a grab-bag category
that includes architects, engi-
neers, information technol-
ogy workers and temps. Women
also make up more than half of
the workforce in hotels and res-
taurants, which has posted the
third-largest gain of any indus-
try.
Despite the job gains, the per-
centage of women working or
looking for work has been drop-
ping, just as it has for men. The
so-called labor force participa-
tion rate for women was 57.3
last month, down from 59.4
percent in December 2007. For
men, the participation rate has
dropped to 69.5 percent, from
73.1 percent.
Both men and women have
been retiring, enrolling in
school, registering for Social
Security disability payments
and just giving up on a weak
job market.

NASA says the 36-year-old spacecraf has lef the boundaries of the solar system
ALICIACHANG
APScience Writer
LOS ANGELES — Voyager 1 has
crossed a new frontier, becoming the
ﬁrst spacecraft ever to leave the solar
system, NASA said Thursday.
Thirty-six years after it was launched
from Earth on a tour of the outer plan-
ets, the plutonium-powered probe is
more than 11 1/2 billion miles from the
sun, cruising through interstellar space
— the vast, cold emptiness between the
stars, the space agency said.
Voyager 1 actually made its exit more
than a year ago, according to NASA. But
it’s not as if there’s a dotted boundary
line or a signpost out there, and it was
not until recently that scientists with
the space agency had enough evidence
to say that the probe had ﬁnally plowed
through the hot plasma bubble surround-
ing the planets and escaped the sun’s
inﬂuence.
While some scientists remain uncon-
vinced, NASA celebrated with a news
conference featuring the theme from
“Star Trek.”
“We got there,” said mission chief
scientist Ed Stone of the California
Institute of Technology, adding that the
spacecraft was “setting sail in the cosmic
seas between the stars.”
While Voyager 1 may have left the
solar system as most people understand
it, it still has hundreds, perhaps thou-
sands, of years to go before bidding
adieu to the last icy bodies that make up
our neighborhood.
Voyager 1 will now study exotic par-
ticles and other phenomena in a never-
before-explored part of the universe lit-
tered with ancient star explosions and
radio the data back to Earth, where the
Voyager team awaits the starship’s dis-
coveries.
The interstellar ambassador also car-
ries a gold-plated disc containing mul-
ticultural greetings, songs and photos,
just in case it bumps into an intelligent
species.

Marathon bombing victims, vets bond
MARKPRATT
and BRIDGETMURPHY
AssociatedPress
BOSTON — Wounded vet-
erans and Boston Marathon
bombing survivors met
Thursday in Boston to share
their stories of strength and
resilience.
Marc Fucarile, who lost his
leg in the marathon bombings,
said he was inspired by the vet-
erans’ stories and honored to
meet them. “They knew what
they were risking when they
signed up, and that’s amazing
to me,” the 34-year-old from
Stonehamsaid.
A dozen military veterans
who have undergone amputa-
tions gatheredat a Bostonhotel
to meet 11 marathon amputees
as part of aneffort byaChicago-
area nonproﬁt called Operation
Warrior Wishes. They planned
to go together Thursday night
to the New England Patriots’
home season opener against
the NewYork Jets.
“I have never met a stronger
group than the wounded war-
riors and the victims of the
marathon bombing,” Mayor
Tom Menino said. “They are
the most courageous and resil-
ient folks we have.”
Chris Claude, a 33-year-old
Marine Corps veteran who
lives in Blakeslee, Pa., said
meeting with marathon ampu-
tees would be his chance to
provide the kind of support he
got after the amputation of his
right leg above the knee after
a 2005 bomb blast in Iraq. He
also likes the idea of the ampu-
tees coming out on the ﬁeld
together.
“It’s another way for people
in the crowd to see the human
spirit can’t be broken,” he said.
Veteran Michael Fox of San
Diego, a 28-year-old who lost
both legs when he stepped on
an improvised explosive device
in Afghanistan in November
2011, said the veterans and
marathon victims are like-
minded people in similar situ-
ations.
“You have to keep a sense of
humor,” he said. “It keeps your
morale up and helps keep you
going. If we can give them any
inspiration, it’s a bonus.”
The founders of Operation
Warrior Wishes, Craig
Steichen, 55, and his son Matt,
29, went on a quest last year to
bring wounded vets to football
games at 32 NFL stadiums in
17 weeks. Craig Steichen said
they met their goal, and even
picked up a world record in the

Thursday, Steichen said, the
nonproﬁt was interested in not
only bringing wounded vets,
but also getting them together
with marathon amputees.
Mery Daniel, a 31-year-old
medical school graduate who
lost part of her left leg in the
marathon bombings, said that
while marathon amputees
didn’t enlist to ﬁght a war, they
were exposed to the same kind
of violence.
“We share now a common
bond,” said Daniel, who lives in
Boston. “We share similar sto-
ries and similar injuries.”
Operation Warrior Wishes
will be collecting donations on
its website through Sept. 22.
The donations will be divided
between the nonproﬁt and The
One Fund, which beneﬁts mar-
athon victims.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA—
If Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene
Steiner, had a nickel for every time
someone leaned over the counter and
whispered, “Do you have anything that
can improve my memory,” he would be
a rich man today.
It’s a question he’s heard count-
less times in his 45-year career. He
has seen families torn apart by the
anguish of memory loss and mental
decline, a silent condition that threat-
ens the independent lifestyle seniors
hold so dearly.
In his years-long search for a drug or
nutrient that could slow mental decline,
he fnally found the answer in the pages
of an obscure medical journal.
“I was studying materials about
memory loss and cognitive decline,
and there it was, right in front of me...
evidence of a real memory pill!”
“At the time, I was an anchor for a
medical program in Los Angeles. I was
so excited that I contacted the author of
the research and invited him to come on
the program as a guest.”
“I wanted millions of listeners
to learn about this important new
development!”
Dr. Steiner’s guest that night, US
researcher, Josh Reynolds, observed
a common ‘disturbance’ in aging
brains, one that may be the primary
cause of degrading memory and con-
centration powers.
Gasping for Air?
He saw evidence that older brains
were ‘gasping for additional oxygen,’
a condition caused by poor blood
circulation.
“Insuffcient circulation,” says Stein-
er, “reduces oxygen to the brain, a sign
of premature mental decline. This also
restricts the supply of critical brain spe-
cifc antioxidants and nutrients.”
Reduced blood flow has another
brain-numbing effect: it slashes the
number of neurotransmitters in the
brain, the messenger molecules used
by the brain to help form thoughts,
retrieve memories, and help its own-
er stay focused and on-task.
Fewer neurotransmitters circu-
lating in the brain translates to
concentration and memory woes.
So, Reynolds and a team of sci-
entists developed a natural, drug-
free compound shown in research
to prompt aging brains to begin to
‘think and react,’ younger.
Tired Brains Snap Awake!
“It helps tired, forgetful brains to
‘snap awake,” says Dr. Steiner.
“This natural memory pill is to your
aging, sluggish brain, what a breath
of fresh air is to your lungs,” he says.
It works so well, explains Steiner,
that the participants in
a peer-reviewed, inter-
national research study
not only saw improve-
ments in their memory,
mood and concentration,
but they also regained
lost brainpower equal to
that of someone 15 years
younger, all in a 30-day
time period!
This made perfect sense
to Dr. Steiner, who knew
instinctively that age-re-
lated memory problems
may be correctable.
After the Show
After the show, Dr. Steiner confded
to his guest that he was fearful of not
being able to recall certain subject
matter for his popular radio show.
“He gave me a couple of bottles and
instructed me on its use,” says Dr. Steiner.
“Within a few days, I can tell you
without reservation that my memory
became crystal clear!”
Feeding an Older Brain
The formula helps oxygenate
listless brain cells to revitalize and
protect them from free radicals
caused by stress and toxins.
It also helps restore depleted neu-
rotransmitter levels, while feeding
the aging mind with brain-specific
nutrients and protective antioxidants.
Steiner was so impressed that he
began recommending the formula to
his pharmacy customers.
“I had such marvelous results that
I not only started recommending it to
my customers, I even shared it with
other physicians!”
Pharmacy Best-Seller
“It became the best-selling brain
health product in my pharmacy and
customers were returning to thank
me for introducing them to it.”
“It felt great to see so many people
whose lives were enriched by taking
a simple, natural formula.”
“A rookie doctor right out of medi-
cal school can set a broken bone, or
treat a rash or runny nose,” explains
Dr. Steiner.
“But he is often clueless when it
comes to helping a patient who can’t
remember to take his medicine, or
forgets where he’s parked his car, or
even worse, foolishly leaves the oven
on at night.”
“With this simple, drug-free
formula, we finally have something
that we can recommend that is safe
and effective. And you don’t need a
prescription either!”
Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to
another state and was apprehensive
about taking the state board of phar-
macy jurisprudence examination,
a daunting examination that tests a
candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law.
“I began taking the natural memory
compound for two weeks prior to the
test, and I passed with flying colors!”
“The recall I personally experienced
was fantastic,” says Steiner.
Many frontline healthcare profes-
sionals are embracing this natural rem-
edy for three reasons.
First, the formula was submitted to
the rigors of a placebo-controlled, ran-
domized, double-blind clinical trial,
using the same FDA-sanctioned brain
testing protocols used to qualify pre-
scription-sold cognitive medicines.
“The fndings for improved brain
function were shocking,” says Steiner.
Then, the results were shared with
the world in a well-respected, peer-
reviewed medical journal.
#1 Selling Brain Health Pill
Thirdly, this natural, memory-boost-
ing wonder has passed the toughest
yardstick of all – scrutiny from the
US consumer.
Word has spread; in a very short time,
Reynolds’ memory-booster has quickly
become the #1-selling brain health sup-
plement in the United States.
Dr. Steiner estimates that as much
as 10 million single-doses have been
used with excellent results by ‘lots of
forgetful folks.’
Users like Selwyn Howell* agree.
He credits the memory compound
with bolstering his confidence.
“It helped me speak out more than I
used to. I am growing more confdent
every day.”
Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much
more focused and with the new ener-
gy I’m now ready to tackle the things
I’ve been putting off for years!”
Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New
York experienced a night-and-day dif-
ference in her mind and memory. At
the age of 54,
her memory was
declining at an
“alarming rate.”
“I was about
to consult a
n e u r o l o g i s t
when I read a
newspaper ar-
ticle about it.”
“It took about
a month for the
memory beneft
to kick in. Six
months later,
even my hus-
band was im-
pressed with my
improved mem-
ory. And I am
very happy with
my renewed
mental clarity
and focus!”
“I highly recommend it,” says Dr.
Steiner. “This drug-free compound is
the perfect supplement for increasing
one’s brain power. If it worked for
me, it can work for you!”

Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, fnds what he and his patients have been looking for... a real memory pill
For years, pharmacists told disappointed patients that memory loss was
inevitable. A new, drug-free cognitive formula helps improve mind, mood, and
memory in as little as 30 days.
Pharmacist of the
Year, Gene
Steiner, PharmD,
was so impressed

W I L K E S - B A R R E
— A man serving a
13-to-26-year sentence
on charges he sexually
assaulted a teenage girl
over several years was
re-sentenced Thursday to
one less year.
Chad Benner, 40, for-
merly of Ranshaw, Pa.,
was sentenced by Luzerne
County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley to 12 to
24 years in prison after
the state Superior Court
ruled Benner’s original
sentence be vacated and
one charge be dismissed
because prosecutors did
not present enough evi-
dence for him to be con-
victed on that charge.
The high court ruled a
charge of indecent assault
was not proven during
Benner’s April 2011 jury
trial, and Benner needed
to be re-sentenced on
two additional charges of
indecent assault and one
count of involun-
tary deviate sexual
intercourse.
Polachek Gartley
sentenced Benner
exactly the way for-
mer Judge Joseph
Van Jura did in
July 2011, minus
the one indecent
assault charge.
Polachek Gartley also
said Benner will receive
two years and 11 months
of credit for time already
served, and must register
his address under Megan’s
Law for his entire life.
At the time of Benner’s
original sentencing, Van
Jura said Benner was
receiving a lengthy prison
stay because he had two
prior convictions on simi-
lar charges, including one
when he was enlisted in
the military. Benner pre-
viously had been deemed
a sexually violent preda-
tor by the state Sexual
Offender’s Assessment
Board in September
2005, after he pleaded
guilty to criminal attempt
to commit unlaw-
ful contact with a
minor.
At Benner’s
April 2011 trial,
the then-22-year-
old woman tes-
tiﬁed she was
about 14 when
Benner allegedly
began forcing her to per-
form lewd sex acts, which
took place from July 2002
to September 2004 in
Wilkes-Barre.
She reported the
alleged abuse to police
in December 2008 after
her memory was trig-
gered when her husband
hugged and kissed her
from behind, according to
court papers.
She said she didn’t want
to tell anyone because she
was afraid of what they
might think of her.

WILKES-BARRE — Two
city men were arrested and
drugs, weapons and cash were
seized Wednesday morning
after multiple law enforce-
ment agencies converged on
two homes in the city with
drug trafficking search war-
rants.
Arrested were Patrick
Miller, 25, of Carlisle Street,
and Junior Comas, 28, of Coal
Street.
Members of the Wilkes-
Barre Police Drug Task
Force, Wilkes-Barre Police
Anti Crime Unit, state police
Troop P Vice Unit and the
state Attorney General’s
Office Bureau of Narcotics
Investigation executed the
warrants at 216 Carlisle St.,
Apartment 2, at about 6:30
a.m., and 145 N. Sherman
St., Apartment 103, at about
7 a.m.
According to court papers:
• Officers detained Miller
at the Carlisle Street apart-
ment and seized suspected
crack cocaine, a digital scale,
packaging materials, three
televisions and more than
$28,000 in currency. At the
Sherman Street apartment
in Interfaith heights, police
found two loaded pistols.
• Officers learned that
Lateesha Lundy, the renter
of the Sherman Street apart-
ment, was in the hospital. In
an interview, she told police
Miller had been her boyfriend
for four years, and she would
help him make money by sell-
ing drugs for him. She said
she would argue with him
about keeping guns at her
apartment because she has
children. He kept the guns
there because he was on pro-
bation and his apartment was
subject to search, Lundy told
police.
• Using wiretaps, investi-
gators learned a confidential
informant set up drug buys
from Miller on Sept. 3 and
9. Allegedly at Miller’s direc-
tion, Lundy and Comas alleg-
edly provided crack cocaine to
the informant at the Sherman
Street apartment and at 292
Coal St., Apartment 111.
• Police found Comas at the
Coal Street apartment short-
ly after the search warrants
were served on Sherman and
Carlisle streets. When officers
knocked on the front door
and identified themselves,
they heard a toilet flushing
multiple times. Comas and
the owner, Sophia Griffin,
eventually answered the door
and gave police permission
to search the apartment, in
which they found $2,245 in
cash and a business card for a
federal probation officer, who
advised them that Comas is
on federal supervised release.
Miller was charged in three
separate complaints with pos-
session with intent to deliver
a controlled substance, unau-
thorized possession of fire-
arms, and two counts each of
criminal conspiracy and crim-
inal use of a communications
facility.
Comas was charged with
possession with intent to
deliver a controlled substance
and criminal conspiracy.
Both were arraigned
Wednesday night before
District Judge Ronald Swank
in Mountain Top. Miller’s
bail was set at $25,000 for
each complaint for a total of
$75,000. Comas’ bail was set
at $25,000. Both were jailed at
the county prison.
Miller’s preliminary hearing
is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept.
17 before District Judge Rick
Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre.
Comas’ is scheduled for 10
a.m. Sept. 19 before District
Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-
Barre.

NICHOLSON —
Fundraisers from
Williams Energy hope
to double their money,
that is, money raised for
United Way groups across
Northeast Pennsylvania.
At last year’s BBQ
Cook-Off in Nicholson,
the pipeline com-
pany raised $40,000
to be spread around
United Way chapters
in the Wyoming Valley,
Susquehanna County and
Wyoming County. The
Broome County, N.Y.,
chapter received money,
as well.
Organizers are
attempting to double that
contribution during their
BBQ Cook-Off today
at Nicholson Carnival
Grounds in Wyoming
County.
Williams Northeast
Spokeswoman Helen
Humphreys said they
invite their neighbors
and subcontractors to
compete in the cook-
off. Many contributions
come as large donations
from their partners.
United Way of the
Wyoming Valley received
$5,000 from last year’s
fundraiser, according to
chapter President Bill
Jones.
Williams, headquar-
tered in Texas, operates
the Transco pipeline and
its extensions, which run
from the Gulf of Mexico
to New York City. They
manage infrastructure for
many natural gas wells
and compressor stations
in the Marcellus Shale
region, as well.
Williams matches
each dollar raised for
the United Way groups.
The eating’s pretty good,
too, Humphreys said,
who is a board member
of the United Way of the
Wyoming Valley.
“One of the things the
Marcellus has done, it has
brought people from other
parts of the country,”
Humphreys said. “They’re
bringing bits of the cul-
ture with them. You’ll
hear them boast about
their BBQs. People take a
great deal of pride in their
BBQ.”
The event opens up new
revenue streams for the
United Way, Jones said.
Donors get involved who
normally don’t contribute
to charity.
“This …is a unique event
that people have really
responded to. And they’ve
brought new resources to
the United Ways through
this innovative fundrais-
ing,” Jones said.
“There are businesses
(in Luzerne County) that
are suppliers, that are a
part of the gas industry.
It’s another way for those
suppliers to get an idea
of what the United Way
does.”

RAYMOND C. NORCONK
Sept. 11, 2013
Raymond C. Norconk, 90, of
Wilmot Township, passed away
on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013,
at home, with his loving family
at his side.
Ray was born at home in
Wilmot Township on Sept. 15,
1922, a son of Charles M. and
Mary Lamberson Norconk. His
entire life was spent on the fam-
ily farm after graduating from
Dushore High School with the
class of 1940, and after continu-
ing his education at Penn State.
On Dec. 23, 1944, he mar-
ried the former Shirley Fiocca.
They celebrated their 68th wed-
ding anniversary last December.
He was a loving spouse, father,
grandfather and great grandfa-
ther. Ray was a kind and true
gentleman who enjoyed being
with his family on the farm most
of all.
Ray entered the U.S. Army
during World War II in 1944 and
served in the Paciﬁc Theater
until 1946. He returned to the
farm, where he continued farm-
ing until his death. He was an
active member of the working
farm until June of this year.
A member of St. John’s

WILKES-BARRE —
Luzerne County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley continued
Wednesday’s sentencing hear-
ing for Robert Caravella, 53,
who was convicted of child
endangerment and sexually
assaulting two girls.
Caravella’s wife, Carol Hann,
45, was sentenced in March to
20 years, nine months to 41
years, three months, on charges
of rape of a child, child endan-
germent and criminal conspir-
acy.
A jury convicted Hann of
raping a teenage boy when she
lived in Plymouth. Caravella
was convicted of coaching the
boy in performing lewd acts
and of sexually assaulting two
girls.
Gartley continued
Caravella’s sentencing hear-
ing to allow his attorney more
time to prepare for the Megan’s
Law hearing to determine if
Caravella is a sexually violent
predator. Gartley had allowed
a number of past continuances
but said Wednesday Caravella
will now be sentenced on Oct.
28 whether the expert is ready
or not.
WILKES-BARRE — A man
convicted last week of robbing
a strip club was found guilty
Wednesday of burglarizing the
home of a state police trooper.
William Gronosky, 30, was
convicted of six counts stem-
ming from the March 2012
burglary.
In that case, police say
Courtney Sadusky, 24,
helped Gronosky take sev-
eral items from the home of
a Pennsylvania state trooper,
whom Sadusky had dated for
some time.
Sadusky testiﬁed against
Gronosky at both trials.
County Judge Michael
Vough said Gronosky will be
sentenced on both cases on
Nov. 6.
He still faces trials on a num-
ber of other charges relating to
an incident in which he shot at
police ofﬁcers and was involved
in a home invasion.
Vough said Gronosky’s next
trial will be in November.
Prosecutors said they are seek-
ing a mandatory minimum ﬁve-
year sentence in the robbery
case.
WILKES-BARRE — A
city man serving a 14-year
probationary sentence on pos-
session of child pornography
charges was jailed Thursday
after admitting to a probation
violation.
Gregory Fann, 50, of Maple
Lane, was sentenced in Sept.
2012 after pleading guilty to six
counts of possession of child
pornography. Fann was charged
after police searched his home
in connection with homicide
charges his son, Gregory Fann
Jr., faced in 2008.
The elder Fann allegedly
violated two prongs of his
sentence: He left the state of
Pennsylvania and had unsu-
pervised contact with minors,
according to the probation vio-
lation ﬁled Tuesday. Fann went
to New Jersey for the weekend
of Aug. 9 and had unsupervised
contact with his granddaugh-
ter, according to the ﬁling.
County Senior Judge Joseph
Augello said Fann will remain
incarcerated until a sentencing
hearing on Oct. 11.

HARRISBURG — A
Pennsylvania judge on
Thursday ordered a sub-
urban Philadelphia court
clerk to stop issuing mar-
riage licenses to same-sex
couples, and the clerk said
he would comply but is
considering an appeal.
Commonwealth Court
Judge Dan Pellegrini said
Montgomery County
Register of Wills D. Bruce
Hanes did not have the
power to decide on his own
whether Pennsylvania’s
same-sex marriage ban
violates the state constitu-
tion.
“Unless and until either
the General Assembly
repeals or suspends the
Marriage Law provisions
or a court of competent
jurisdiction orders that the
law is not to be obeyed or
enforced, the Marriage
Law in its entirety is to be
obeyed and enforced by all
commonwealth public ofﬁ-
cials,” Pellegrini wrote.
Hanes said he was disap-
pointed.
“The decision to issue a
marriage license was not
made in haste, and what
we’re going to do next,
based on this decision from
the court, will not be made
in haste,” Hanes said.
It was not immediately
clear what the decision will
mean for the 174 couples
who obtained licenses.
The state Health
Department under
Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett took Hanes to
court after he began issu-
ing licenses to same-sex
couples in July, despite a
1996 state law that deﬁnes
marriage as between a man
and a woman. The depart-
ment argued that Hanes’
actions could create chaos.
James Schultz, Corbett’s
general counsel, issued a
statement saying the key
issue was whether local
ofﬁcials can decide which
laws to uphold or reject,
based on their personal
legal opinion.
“We respect the inter-
ests and dignity of all
the parties involved in
this case, but we are a
government of laws and
it is important that all
ofﬁce holders across the
state enforce those laws
Pa. judge orders halt to same-sex marriage licenses
It was not immediately clear what the decision will mean for the 174 couples who obtained licenses
uniformly,” Schultz said.
A separate challenge to
Pennsylvania’s same-sex
marriage ban is pending in
federal court.
Robert Heim, a lawyer
for some of the same-sex
couples who obtained
licenses from Hanes, noted
that Pellegrini said the
legality of the licenses was
not an issue before him.
“The 32 couples that I
represent are going to have
to decide whether they
also want to litigate it in
the Commonwealth Court,
since Judge Pellegrini vir-
tually invited it,” Heim
said.

When President Obama asked
Congress to authorize a military
attack against Syria, he said the
goal was to “hold the Assad regime
accountable for their use of chemical
weapons, deter this kind of behavior
and degrade their capacity to carry it
out.”
Can the same objectives be accom-
plished through diplomacy? In his
address to the nation Tuesday, Obama
announced that he would pursue that
possibility, even as he reserved the
option of military action. That was
the right call, but the diplomatic track
must not be allowed to become a long
and winding road to nowhere.
What’s under discussion is a Russian
proposal for “international control” of
Syria’s chemical weapons and their
“subsequent destruction.” It was
broached by Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov after Secretary of State
John F. Kerry suggested that Assad
might avert U.S. military action by
turning over “every single bit of his
chemical weapons to the international
community in the next week.” Kerry
added: “But he isn’t about to do it,
and it can’t be done, obviously.” Then
Syrian ofﬁcials endorsed the idea and
even suggested Syria would sign the
Chemical Weapons Convention.
An agreement that would truly put
Syria’s chemical weapons “beyond
use” would be a preferable alterna-
tive to military action. It would reaf-
ﬁrm the international condemnation
of chemical warfare and might prove
just as successful as airstrikes in pre-
venting future atrocities by the Assad
government. It might even have a
deterrent effect on other nations con-
sidering the use of nonconventional
weapons.
But will it work? Kerry has said
that the United States seeks a “full
resolution” of the U.N. Security
Council, an apparent reference to a
so-called Chapter 7 resolution that
would authorize member states to use
military force to implement it. So far
Russia, which has veto power on the
council, has resisted that approach.
Even if the council were to approve
a muscular resolution, Assad’s past
mendacity in dealings with U.N. rep-
resentatives raises concerns that he
would obstruct weapons inspectors —
who would be performing their duties
in the midst of a civil war.
Their jobs would not be easy.
Monitors would need some measure
of protection from the wars violence,
and the process of identifying and
destroying the weapons would have to
be veriﬁable. There would also have to
be serious consequences for noncom-
pliance so that the process wouldn’t
become a farce or a cat-and-mouse
game reminiscent of the long effort to
inspect Saddam Hussein’s supposed
weapons of mass destruction.
Notwithstanding these concerns,
Obama’s decision to explore a diplo-
matic solution is a prudent one. We
continue to believe that the use of
chemical weapons against civilians
requires a response from this country,
ideally in concert with other nations.
But, like the president, we hope that
message can be effectively delivered
other than by military might.

Immediately after the conclusion of
last year’s annual United Way campaign
in the Wyoming Valley, the editorial
pages of one of our local newspapers
celebrated the success of the campaign,
stating “cheers” to the donors who con-
tributed to supporting the community.
Under the leadership of Barb
Toczko-Maculloch Sr., vice president
of First Liberty Bank, and a commit-
ted campaign cabinet, the 2013 annual
campaign is well underway — and we
certainly hope the community will once
again “cheer” at its successful conclu-
sion.
Most people recognize the United
Way as a highly accountable and effec-
tive nonproﬁt fundraising organization.
Each year, millions of dollars are raised
and invested to improve the commu-
nity. Critical needs are being met and
lives are being changed because of the
kindness of our donors.
In celebrating the fundraising suc-
cess of 2012, the newspaper also made
a very powerful point by stating “no
single other charity has the commu-
nity-wide impact of the United Way.”
Indeed!
Last year, more than 53,000 indi-
viduals in our community were served
by the 46 community-based programs
funded by the United Way campaign.
This is up from 42,000 the previous
year and means more than one in six of
us in the Wyoming Valley were assist-
ed in some way by the generosity of
donors who care about our community.
While the United Way touches many
lives in very meaningful ways, our
impact is even greater and reaches
beyond the funding of programs that
most have come to recognize.
The United Way of
the Wyoming Valley is
and will continue to be
a community partner
that has taken an impor-
tant leadership role in a
number of key areas to
improve our community.
For example:
· For the past two
years after the ﬂood-
ing in 2011, we chaired
the Disaster Recovery
Coalition of Luzerne
County.
· We administer the Federal
Emergency Food and Shelter Program
in Luzerne County.
· We are a critical component of the
Rapid Response program to assist indi-
viduals impacted by downsizing and
layoffs.
· Weareamongthelargest scholarship
organizations for the Commonwealth’s
Education Improvement Tax Credit
program in the county.
· Through our “Success by 6” pro-
gram, we have been a leading advocate
for early-childhood education pro-
grams, and we have held a number of
events to bring attention to the needs
of children and families who live at and
below the margins of society.
· We manage and are the ﬁscal
agent for the Northeast Regional HIV
Planning Coalition.
· We are an active member of the
Luzerne County Homeless Coalition.
· Our “Christmas in July Food Drive”
is one of the largest annual food drives
in Wyoming Valley, second only to the
Letter Carriers Food Drive, which we
also support.
· We staff many of organized labor’s
community service projects and sup-
port other initiatives on behalf of the
community.
· Our Day of Caring is the largest
single volunteer effort every year in
Luzerne County and provides thou-
sands of in-kind service hours to assist
the organizations that serve our com-
munity.
· Through “Get Connected,” our
online volunteer matching program,
we promote the spirit of volunteerism
by making information about volunteer
opportunities more accessible.
In each of the above examples of the
United Way’s impact, and there are
more, the words “we” and “our” are
intentional. The United Way is driven
by and is a reﬂection of the community
— including donors, volunteers, part-
ner agencies, the labor movement and
all of us who are like-minded in support
of the community. To borrow and para-
phrase a line from Happy Valley, WE
are the United Way.
If the United Way is to have the kind
of wide impact the community needs
and deserves, WE can only be success-
ful if WE are all successful together.
Please consider supporting the 2013
annual campaign and be among those
who care, and for whom, WE will cheer.

Way of Wyoming Valley. He can be reached at 829-

Editorial
The battle against the 11-alarm ﬁre
that ravaged a Dietz & Watson ware-
house in Delanco last week was ham-
pered by the building’s 7,000 solar
panels. Fire Chief Ron Holt refused
to allow ﬁreﬁghters on the roof for
fear that they would be electrocuted.
Other ﬁre ofﬁcials said the chief
made the right decision given that
the panels continue to generate elec-
tricity as long as they’re exposed to
light, and many models lack an emer-
gency switch.
None of that should become an
excuse to bash solar power. The safe
development and use of clean ener-
gy can wean the country off dirty,
climate-changing fuels. But the
blaze in Burlington County can yield
important lessons about ﬁghting
ﬁres in solar-powered buildings.
Such lessons are essential, con-
sidering that more and more homes
and commercial structures are being
ﬁtted with solar panels. The tech-
nology is more widely used in New
Jersey than in any other state besides
California.
The Sept. 1 Dietz & Watson ﬁre
drew responses from 40 ﬁre depart-
ments, took 30 hours to contain
and continued to smolder for days
afterward. Three ﬁreﬁghters were
injured, and the 260,000-square-foot
building was destroyed. The cause
remains undetermined. Dietz &
Watson’s chief executive, Louis J. Eni
Jr., told The Inquirer this week that
employees had been working to make
up for two weeks’ worth of lost meats
and cheeses.
Experts on ﬁre safety and solar
energy say a combination of better
ﬁreﬁghter training and improved
technology can help reduce the
damage from future ﬁres. William
Kramer, New Jersey’s acting ﬁre mar-
shal, is conﬁdent that the challenge
can be met, but he said it’s going to
take time, study and technological
progress.
Fireﬁghting has already evolved
from extinguishing blazes in wood-
en structures to today’s efforts in
buildings containing complex materi-
als that emit toxic fumes when ignit-
ed. It can evolve again to handle ﬁres
in buildings with solar arrays and
other green technologies.
New Jersey already requires
anyone installing solar panels to
report their presence to local ﬁre
departments, and some training is
available to help ﬁre departments
deal with the technology. But indus-
try ofﬁcials say ﬁreﬁghters need to
be trained more thoroughly on the
nuances of solar energy. They have a
point.
The solar industry is also
developing two promising safety
technologies. One stops transmis-
sion of electricity from solar arrays
when power is cut off, though the
solar panels themselves would still
maintain a charge. Another advance
could reduce the voltage in panels to
less dangerous levels.
Once these technologies are reli-
able, buildings with older solar
panels should be retroﬁtted. And
training for ﬁreﬁghters should be
strengthened. As the Dietz & Watson
ﬁre showed, the cost of such mea-
sures is outweighed by the danger to
lives and property.

Former Secretary of State Colin
Powell called the jury verdict that
acquitted George Zimmerman of kill-
ing Trayvon Martin “questionable.”
I do not recall Powell questioning a
predominately black jury of letting
O.J. Simpson walk free despite over-
whelming evidence of his guilt.
Powell was once considered a pos-
sible Republican presidential can-
didate, and yet he endorsed Barack
Obama in 2008 and 2012. Did the
fact that Obama is black have any-
thing to do with it? I certainly think
so.
Recently, I read in the Philadelphia
Inquirer that the mayor and police
chief in that city, both of whom
are black, said that if a white man
murdered a black man, both Jesse
Jackson and Al Sharpton would be
expressing outrage, and yet they are
silent about the hundreds of blacks
killing blacks.
Those two should concern them-
selves about the dissolution of the
black family, in which 73 percent of
black children reportedly are born
out of wedlock.
With no father ﬁgure to guide
them, they are easily led to gangs and
illegal drug activity, 0ften resulting
in violence. Look at all the shootings
in our backyard.
While I am doubtful it will happen,
it would be enlightening if Jackson
and Sharpton would quit blaming
racism and put the onus on the black
community — where it belongs.

municipalities have safe and reli-
able transportation systems,” Casey
said. “This commonsense, bipartisan
approach to investing in our infrastruc-
ture has a proven track record of success
and I’m pushing for Congress to support
this effort.”
Casey said the targeted bridges com-
prise a segment of the state’s transporta-
tion system that is “particularly compro-
mised.” He said that in a still-struggling
economy, deﬁcient bridges add to the
economic woes of many towns.
“The reason why Pennsylvania would
receive so many dollars is because we
have so many deﬁcient bridges,” he
said. “These bridges are relied upon for
many people and especially for emergen-
cy vehicles like ﬁre trucks, ambulances
and police vehicles. That can result in
tragedies we don’t even want to contem-
plate.”
Casey said residents of rural areas
and small towns can sometimes feel
removed from Washington and Congress
and that disconnect can make them feel
their issues are not noticed and not
addressed.
“This is one way Washington can
come together in bipartisan way,” he
said. “We can focus on something as
basic as how we move goods, commerce
and people in small towns across the
Commonwealth and the country.”
Casey said the $74 million
Pennsylvania received for these bridges
last year was more than any other state
outside of California.
According to information provided by
Casey’s ofﬁce:
• Off-system bridges are not on the
federal-aid highway system. Instead,
they are found on public roads that are
owned and operated by local govern-
ments.
• There are more than 590,000 bridg-
es in the U.S. and more than 50 percent
are off-system.
• More than one out of every four
off-system bridges across the country
are structurally deﬁcient or functionally
obsolete. Of those, 35 percent are func-
tionally obsolete
• In three counties — McKean,
Schuylkill, and Potter — more than 40
percent of the bridges are structurally
deﬁcient.
Casey said the state Senate recently
passed a bill that would signiﬁcantly
increase transportation funding for the
state, but the state House has not yet
taken action. As a result the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation recently
put weight restrictions on a signiﬁcant
number of bridges.

meeting with their Russian
counterparts in Geneva,
insisted on a speedier
Syrian accounting of their
stockpiles.
Assad’s remarks to
Russia’s state Rossiya 24
news channel were his
ﬁrst since the Russian plan
was announced Monday
as a way to avert a poten-
tial U.S. military strike in
response to the Aug. 21
chemical weapons attack
that killed hundreds near
Damascus.
He said Syria is relin-
quishing control over its
chemical weapons because
of Russia.
“We agreed to put Syria’s
chemical weapons under
international supervision
in response to Russia’s
request and not because of
American threats,” Assad
said.
“In my view, the agree-
ment will begin to take
effect a month after its sign-
ing, and Syria will begin
turning over to internation-
al organizations data about
its chemical weapons,”
Assad added. He said this
is “standard procedure”
and that Syria will stick to
it.
“There is nothing stan-
dard about this process,”
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry retorted in Geneva,
because Assad has used his
chemical weapons. “The
words of the Syrian regime
in our judgment are simply
not enough.”
Syria had long reject-
ed joining the Chemical
Weapons Convention,
which requires all parties
to the treaty to declare and
destroy whatever chemical
weapons they may possess.
Assad said the Russian
deal was a two-sided pro-
cess. “We are counting, ﬁrst
of all, on the United States
stop conducting the policy
of threats regarding Syria,”
he said.
Syria’s Deputy Prime
Minister Qadri Jamil also
suggested on Thursday that
the Russian proposal will
succeed only if the United
States and its allies pledge
not to attack Syria in the
future.
“We want a pledge that
neither it (the U.S.) nor
anyone else will launch an
aggression against Syria,”
Jamil said in Damascus.
But Kerry cautioned that
a U.S. military strike could
occur if Assad doesn’t agree
to dismantle his chemical
arsenal properly. “There
ought to be consequences
if it doesn’t take place,” he
said.
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov, however,
said the dismantling “will
make unnecessary any
strike against the Syrian
Arab Republic.”
Syria’s top rebel com-
mander, meanwhile,
slammed the Russian pro-
posal, calling for Assad to
be put on trial for alleg-
edly ordering the Aug. 21
attack. Many rebels had
held out hopes that U.S.-led
punitive strikes on Assad’s
forces would help tip the
scales in their favor in
Syria’s civil war, which has
claimed more than 100,000
lives so far.
Gen. Salim Idris’ state-
ment was broadcast on
pan-Arab satellite chan-
nels hours before talks in
Geneva between Kerry and
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov.
“We call upon the inter-
national community, not
only to withdraw the chem-
ical weapons that were
the tool of the crime, but
to hold accountable those
who committed the crime
in front of the International
Criminal Court,” Idris said.
He added that the Free
Syrian Army “categorically
rejects the Russian initia-
tive” as falling short of the
expectations of rebel ﬁght-
ers.
The U.S. accuses Assad’s
government of being
behind the attack in the
suburb of Ghouta. The U.S.
says the attack killed 1,429
people; other estimates of
the deaths are lower.
Assad has denied respon-
sibility and accuses U.S.
ofﬁcials of spreading lies
without providing evi-
dence.
In the interview
Thursday, he charged the
Aug. 21 chemical weap-
ons attack was a “U.S.-
organized provocation.”
“The threats (of a mili-
tary strike) are based
on a provocation. It was
arranged with the use
of chemical weapons in
the Damascus suburb of
Ghouta,” he said.
In Geneva, Kerry and
a team of U.S. experts
will have at least two days
of meetings with their
Russian counterparts. The
Americans hope to emerge
with an outline of how
some 1,000 tons of chemi-
cal weapons stocks and
precursor materials as well
as potential delivery sys-
tems can be safely inven-
toried and isolated under
international control in an
active war zone and then
destroyed.
In Washington, ofﬁcials
said the CIA has been
delivering light machine
guns and other small arms
to Syrian rebels for sev-
eral weeks, after President
Barack Obama’s decision to
arm the rebels.
The agency also has
arranged for the Syrian
opposition to receive anti-
tank weapons like rocket-
propelled grenades through
a third party, presumably
one of the Gulf countries
that has been arming the
rebels, a senior U.S. intel-
ligence ofﬁcial and two
former intelligence ofﬁcials
said Thursday. They spoke
on condition of anonym-
ity because they were not
authorized to discuss the
classiﬁed program publicly.
Loay al-Mikdad, a Free
Syrian Army spokesman,
told the AP that they have
not received any weapons
from the U.S. although they
expect some in the near
future.
Meanwhile, the Syrian
Observatory for Human
Rights said rebels ﬁghting
Assad’s forces on Thursday
captured the village of Imm
al-Lokas in the southern
region of Quneitra near
Syria’s Israeli-occupied
Golan Heights.
The Britain-based activ-
ist group added that rebels
also captured several army
posts in the area in heavy
ﬁghting that caused casual-
ties on both sides.
It also said that in the
northeastern province of
Hassakeh, clashes pitting
Kurdish fghters against
members of the al-Qaida-
linked Nusra Front and the
Islamic State in Iraq and
the Levant in the past two
days killed 13 Kurdish gun-
men and 35 militants.
The two sides have been
ﬁghting in northern Syria
for months in battles that
left scores of people dead
on both sides.
Syrian state media
said government troops
advanced in the predomi-
nantly Christian village of
Maaloula near Damascus,
capturing the main square
as well as the Mar Takla
convent where several nuns
were staying.
A resident in the village
told the AP that troops
were trying to capture a
rebel-held hotel on a hill
overlooking the area. The
man, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity for fear
of reprisals, said most of
the ﬁghting Thursday was
taking place in the western
part of the village.
Government troops are
trying to ﬂush out rebel
units, including two linked
to al-Qaida, from the hilltop
enclave the rebels broke
into last week.
Most of the village’s
3,300 residents have fed
to safer parts of the coun-
try, although some have
remained, hunkering down
in their homes, activists
said.
Maaloula, about 40 miles
northeast of Damascus, had
until recently been ﬁrmly in
the regime’s grip despite
being surrounded by rebel-
held territory. The village
was a major tourist attrac-
tion before the civil war.
Some of its residents still
speak a version of Aramaic,
a biblical language believed
to have been used by Jesus.

WILKES-BARRE — All the heavy lifting
was done at its earlier work session, and City
Council on Thursday night breezed through
the agenda that covered downtown develop-
ment, demolition and an attempt to nudge
the Congress to act on pending banking leg-
islation.
By a 5-0 vote council agreed: to hire
Williams Kinsman Lewis Architecture
of Wilkes-Barre at a cost of $68,500 for
architectural and engineering services on
the vacant First National Bank building
on Public Square; to hire low-bidder Stell
Enterprises of Plains Township at a cost of
$9,500 to tear down a condemned house
at 282 N. Pennsylvania Ave; to support an
effort by the state General Assembly urging
Congress to reinstate the separation of com-
mercial and investment banking functions
that were in effect under the Glass-Steagall
Act that was repealed in 1999; to join the
nationwide campaign “Drive4Pledges” on
Sept. 19 to discourage texting while driving.
Council further approved a number of
ordinances including, reducing the speed
limit on a section of Madison Street to 25
mph, issuing parking permits to non-resi-
dent owners of vacant properties and amend-
ing the rules and regulations for hiring and
promotions in the police department.
Council Chairman Bill Barrett compli-
mented Mayor Tom Leighton on the latest
phase of the Streetscape project that involves
the installation of new curbs and concrete
sidewalks around Public Square at a cost of
$1.2 million. But Barrett asked if anything
can be done next year with the fountain at
the center of the square.
Leighton said the cost to repair the foun-
tain would be in excess of $300,000 and the
city does not have the money for the work.
“I’mas anxious as you to ﬁnd money to do
it,” the mayor said.
However, he was hesitant to support
Barrett’s suggestion that the city apply for
a grant from the state to use gambling rev-
enues for the repairs.
The city received $1.3 million in gambling
funds for the First National Bank Building
and will use some of the money to pay the
architectural ﬁrm to determine the cost of
repairing and stabilizing the building’s roof
and masonry so that it can be developed.

EDITOR’S NOTE: New England held on to
defeat the NewYork Jets 13-10 Thursday night.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —TomBrady connect-
ed with rookie Aaron Dobson on a 39-yard touch-
down pass and Devin McCourty set up another
score with a 44-yard fumble return to help the New
England Patriots take a 13-10 lead over the New
York Jets heading into the fourth quarter Thursday
night.
After trailingby10points at halftime, whenator-
rential rain began to fall, Geno Smith led NewYork
on a third-quarter touchdown drive. Starting for
the second straight week in place of injured Mark
Sanchez, Smith ran for 16 yards to move the Jets
into NewEngland territory. He then brought them
tothe 3-yardline toset upBilal Powell’s touchdown
run that made it 13-10 with 5:05 left in the third.
Smith completed 12 of 23 passes for 159 yards
through three quarters, while Brady was 13 of 29
for 150 yards.
Withlongtime favorite receiver Wes Welker now
in Denver and his replacement, Danny Amendola,
out with a groin injury, Brady found Dobson alone
inthe defensive backﬁeldonthe opening drive and
hit himin stride on his way to the end zone.
It was Brady’s 50th consecutive game with a

CHICAGO — Joey
Logano defended his
place in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship
on Thursday, rattling off
his season statistics as
proof he earned his spot
in the 12-driver ﬁeld
regardless of any help he
may have received in the
deciding race.
And make no mistake,
Logano said: If anybody
helped him at Richmond,
he had no clue.
The latest driver
caught in the fallout of
NASCAR’s investigation
into Saturday night’s race
at Richmond, Logano
learned Wednesday that
radio trafﬁc appeared to
show Front Row Racing’s
crew chief and spot-
ter talking about David
Gilliland giving Logano a
pivotal spot on the track
in exchange for some-
thing unidentiﬁed from
Penske Racing.
There’s nothing in
Penske radio transmis-
sions to indicate wrong-
doing, but NASCAR said
Thursday it is still look-
ing into the incident.
“That is new stuff to
me. Obviously there is
no transcript on our
radio of anything said
about it (and) obviously I
would have known about
it if that was the case,”
Logano said.
Logano wondered
if a discussion on top
of the spotter stand
would have been a big
deal even if it did occur.
“That is stuff that hap-
pens week in and week
out with spotters. They
are up there communicat-
ing back and forth trying
to work deals out — ‘Hey,
help me out here, I will
help you out here, let’s
work together.’ That hap-
pens all the time,” Logano
said. “I don’t look at it as
being a big deal at all.”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick
Saban knows it’s become irrelevant whether fre-
netic, no-huddle offenses are what he wants col-
lege football to be.
In the case of No. 6 Texas A&M, they’re also
awfully hard to slow down.
That is the challenge Saturday for the top-
ranked Crimson Tide at the Aggies’ Kyle Field.
Preparing for this kind of uptempo offense was
a focal point for the Tide during the offseason.
Alabama (1-0, 0-0 SEC) was helpless against it
in the ﬁrst quarter of last season’s loss to Texas
A&M (2-0, 0-0) before catching on and nearly
rallying from a 20-0 deﬁcit.
The no-huddle offenses have become a staple
of the college game — whether Saban likes it or
not.
Southeastern Conference opponents
Mississippi, Kentucky and Auburn also run vari-
ations.
“There’s obviously some things you can’t do,
and you have to realize that you can’t do these
things,” Saban said. “I think we’ve all adapted to
it more and more because we play against these
teams more. When you play against it once or
twice a year, I think it’s a tough adaptation for
the players.
But we played against it eight or nine times
last year. We’ll probably play against it at least
that much this year, so it’s becoming more the
norm rather than the exception.
“I think that players should be able to adapt to
it more readily. I knowthat we’ve tried to prepare
our players for it more and more because you
always say, ‘OK, what did we see? How much did
we see it? How does our practice reﬂect that?’”
Saban caused a stir last October when he won-
dered aloud: “Is this what we want football to
be?”
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Auburn’s
Gus Malzahn, who runs his own variation of the
no-huddle, offered very different takes at SEC
media days about whether fast-paced offenses
present an injury hazard to defensive players
who can’t get relief from subs.
Malzahn said he initially thought that theory
was a joke and Bielema countered that he’s no
comedian.

Wyoming Valley West
fans might be thinking
about the straight trip
down Route 11 South in
two weeks. The Spartans,
though, are concentrating
completely on what would
be a very crooked journey
on Route 11 North tonight.
Rival Berwick can wait,
Valley West coach Pat
Keating said, because the
7 p.m. game at Scranton
is pivotal to the playoff
chase.
“Absolutely because
from the (District) 2/4
part of the subregional
this will be our second
game,” Keating said. “We
play every 4A school here
in District 2. We had one
last week and we knew it
was important then. And
it’s even more important
now with Scranton being
2-0 and us being 2-0. It
kind of puts the winning
team in the driver’s seat as
far as heading through the
rest of the season for a 4A
position.”
Eight teams qualify for
the D2/4-11 Class 4A play-
offs — six from District 11
and two of the ﬁve fromthe
D2/4 bracket. Two of the
D2/4 teams — Delaware
Valley and Hazleton Area
— are winless and strug-
gling. Williamsport is 1-1,
but backslid with a poor
performance in a 25-0
loss last Friday to Mifﬂin
County.
That means tonight’s
winner will be alone atop
the D2/4 standings.
It also means the ﬁrst
thought of Berwick
shouldn’t come until
around 10 p.m. today.
“There’s no way you
can because this is more
important because of play-
off implications,” Keating
said.
To get the upper hand,
the Spartans need to stop
Scranton running back
Jake McCarthy, a junior
who has already verbally
committed to Virginia to
play baseball. McCarthy is
a home run hitter on the
football ﬁeldas well. He has
stampeded two Wyoming
Valley Conference oppo-
nents this season for 448
yards and six touchdowns.
Once McCarthy gets
past the ﬁrst wave of tack-
lers, his next stop is usu-
ally the end zone. Rarely
has he been caught from
behind. The Spartans
lived that last year in a
34-14 loss to Scranton.
McCarthy rushed just 18
times but gained 276 yards
and scored ﬁve touch-
downs, including TD runs
of 80, 63 and 56 yards.

It’s written on the wall
in the weight room. It was
repeated by Bill O’Brien
and his staff throughout
training camp.
It’s something Penn State
has yet to do this season.
“Start fast.”
During the team’s
ﬁrst scrimmage of camp,
O’Brien actually stopped
the proceedings to admon-
ish his offense when it
wasn’t lined up properly on
the ﬁrst play.
Unfortunately for the
Nittany Lions, it’s some-
thing that carried over to
the regular season. Penn
State was ﬂagged on its
ﬁrst offensive snap in both
games as Matt Lehman was
hit for a false start against
Syracuse and fellow tight
end Adam Breneman was
caught for holding against
Eastern Michigan.
The Lions gave up the
ﬁrst score each time but
were able to recover from
a rocky ﬁrst quarter to win
both games.
It’s not a formula Penn
State wants to follow again
on Saturday against 2-0
Central Florida.
“It’s still a work in prog-
ress,” O’Brien said. “We
have to execute better,
especially at the beginning
of the game.”
“Execution” has been the
buzzword around the team
this week as the Lions try
to avoid falling into an early
hole against the Knights.
Getting rid of those early
jitters and penalties would
be a start.
“That’s mainly it,” tack-
le Donovan Smith said.
“Coach O’Brien gave us the
plays to run, and it’s just a
matter of us executing —
whether it’s me blocking
better or the receivers run-
ning better routes or mak-
ing better throws or stuff
like that. It’s us as a team
just executing.”
If it’s going to improve
on Saturday, it’s going to
be fueled by Smith and the
offensive line.
O’Brien wasn’t enamored
at how the offense took a
quarter to get warmed up
and establish a running
game. “We’ve got to do
better,” O’Brien said. “We
have to keep spending time
on it and we need to adjust
quicker to what they’re
doing (on defense).”
While saying he didn’t
want to single out the line
speciﬁcally, O’Brien did
say that the unit as a whole
needs to be more consistent
despite some good individ-
ual performances.
The Lions believe that if
the line stabilizes on ﬁrst
downs, it will help the team
with its other major issue

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SPORTS Friday, September 13, 2013 PAGE 3B
TOM FOX
For The Times Leader
COVINGTON TWP.—
Sometimes, it’s really about the
little things.
Ask Crestwood head coach Mike
Williams, and he’ll admit that. He
also won’t deny North Pocono per-
formed the little details better than
his Comets.
In the end, it led to a Trojan vic-
tory.
Katlyn Ivanoff and Emily Cook
controlled the front line as North
Pocono executed the fundamentals
to near perfection as the Trojans
remained perfect in the Wyoming
Valley Conference with a 3-0 girls
volleyball victory over Crestwood.
Game scores were 25-17, 25-19
and 25-21.
“Fundamentals are the key aspect
in all sports, and that’s especially
true in volleyball,” Pocono head
coach Chris Summa said. “It was
a good win for us. We did some
nice things. Mike does a good job
at Crestwood, so you can’t take
anything away from them. We just
did the fundamentals a little better
tonight.”
The little things could really add
up to bite you.
The Comets struggled with the
back-line pass, which in turn, didn’t
allow the offense to ﬂow effectively.
The ace-service error percentage
wasn’t too good, either. Crestwood
only had four aces in the match, but
committed a total of 12 errors.
No doubt, the serve-receive was
the main culprit.
“That was our biggest prob-
lem tonight,” Williams said. “Our
defense was solid overall. We didn’t
bring a lot of offense, and the ﬁrst
pass has something to do with that.
They grabbed the momentum early,
and they used home court to their
advantage. They are well-coached;
I think Chris is one of the best
coaches in this league. His record
proves it.”
One sequence in the opening set
proves the point of how little things
add up.
Tied at 11, Crestwood (3-2) got
whistled for a foot-fault on the
serve. What followed were three
bad back-line passes, a net violation
and two setting infractions.
Just like that, an 11-all tie turned
into an 18-12 deﬁcit.
For comparison purposes, North
Pocono (4-0) only had one service
error and three attack errors in the
opening set.
“We’ve been looking forward
to this game for a while. I was so
pumped and ready for this one,”
said Katlyn Ivanoff, who ﬁnished
with a game-high eight kills. “We
worked hard to get this win, and
we practice so hard. We want to
make an impact in the league, and
hopefully, see what happens when
districts come.”
The closest set down the stretch
was the ﬁnal stanza. Up 21-20,
Pocono used back-to-back Emily
Cook kills, and a big block from
junior Mallorie Deschaine to end it
at 25-21.
“We have been mistake-prone
early in the matches. We’ve had
some success, but we’ve been too
mistake-prone. We were focused
and ready today,” Summa said.
“It’s a good win for our program.
Crestwood has been in the top
three in the league, and that’s an
area where we hope to be every
single season. It’s a good win, and a
stepping stone. But we have to take
one step at a time.”
Taryn Wojnar had six kills to pace
Crestwood, while Olivia Jankowski
and Emily Sipple combined for 19
assists.
“I think we came in a little over-
conﬁdent,” Williams said. “We’ve
had a good run against North
Pocono in the last few years, and I
think it carried in. That overconﬁ-
dence hurt us. Sometimes, it works
for you. Today, it just didn’t work
for us. It’s a tough one to swallow,
but we’ll move on and look forward
to seeing them in playoffs.”

The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— Tennessee coach Butch
Jones says defensive lineman
Maurice Couch has been ruled
ineligible for Saturday’s game
against No. 2 Oregon while
the university investigates
allegations he was one of ﬁve
Southeastern Conference play-
ers to receive improper ben-
eﬁts.
“As of right now, the situa-
tion with Mo Couch is we’ve
declared him ineligible for this
game,” Jones said Thursday
during his weekly interview
with Nashville radio station
104.5. “Right now our compli-
ance group is currently in the
process of working through all
the details and logistics of the
situation. That’s all we kind of
know right now, but as of right
now moving forward, he will
not make the trip to Oregon.”
Jones later told the
Associated Press via text mes-
sage that it was Tennessee’s
compliance department that
ruled the 6-foot-2, 304-pound
Couch ineligible.
A Yahoo Sports report cited
text messages and ﬁnancial
records of former Alabama
defensive end Luther Davis,
along with an unnamed NFL
source who said Davis was a
go-between for the players
with NFL agents and ﬁnancial
advisers. Couch, a senior from
Orlando, Fla., was the only
active college player named in
the report, which said Couch
had received four payments
totaling $1,350.
The other players named
in the report were former
Alabama offensive tackle D.J.
Fluker, former Tennessee
quarterback Tyler Bray, for-
mer Mississippi State defen-
sive tackle Fletcher Cox and
former Mississippi State wide
receiver Chad Bumphis.
Jones wouldn’t discuss
Couch’s status for the rest of
the season.
“All I can speak of right now
is the present,” Jones said
in his radio interview, “and
the present is he will not be
accompanying us to Oregon.”
Couch, 23, played each of
Tennessee’s ﬁrst two games
as a reserve and made four
tackles and one sack. He made
38 tackles and one sack while
starting nine games last sea-
son.
The Yahoo report named
three NFL agents and three
ﬁnancial advisers who Yahoo
said engaged in transactions
totaling at least $45,550 with
Davis between September
2011 and December 2012.
Yahoo said records show Davis
distributing at least $12,700 in
cash, airfare and other expens-
es to the ﬁve players.
Tennessee had issued a
statement Wednesday after-
noon saying it was looking
into the situation.
”The education of our stu-
dent-athletes regarding NCAA
rules and extra beneﬁts is and
will continue to be the cen-
tral focus of our compliance
efforts,” Tennessee athletic
department spokesman Jimmy
Stanton said. “We are aware of
the article and are examining
all of the relevant facts.”
Tennessee player left on the Couch for Oregon game
Texas A&M coach Kevin
Sumlin isn’t about to down-
shift.
“We’re going to go as fast
as we possibly can,” Sumlin
said. “I haven’t seen any-
thing to support the player
safety argument. Anything
that’s within the rules, that’s
the way football is. That’s
any sport. Whether it’s
baseball and you’re stealing
bases or whether it’s basket-
ball and you’re a fast break,
full-court press team, that’s
within the rules.
“Just because you don’t
want to play that style
doesn’t mean that that’s not
the way the game should be
played.”
It’s hard to argue with the
results. Sumlin’s offenses
have ranked in the top three
nationally in total yards
four of the past ﬁve years at
Texas A&M and Houston.
Through two games
against weaker competition,
the Aggies have amassed
117 points and 1,200 yards.
Alabama allowed just 153
points in 14 games last sea-
son.
Texas A&M wide receiv-
er Malcome Kennedy said
coaches have stressed
tempo even more for this
game.
“The offense is going
to move very fast,” said
Kennedy, who scored what
proved to be the decisive
touchdown last season.
“Coach has already said that
we’re focusing on tempo
this week. Us being able to
run and pass, and we know
it got on their nerves last
year. So we want to be like
that this year and hopefully
it will turn out well.”
Alabama

in the early going — third-down conversions.
Penn State ranks dead last in the country
(123 out of 123 teams) on third downs, con-
verting just 2-of-26 times (7.7 percent).
“We’ve got to get off to a better start on ﬁrst
down,” O’Brien said. “We’ve got too many
(problems), whether it’s a penalty to put us
back or a lost yardage play. So now you’re in
second-and-long, and you’re already off sched-
ule. It’s not a good thing.
“Then once we get to third down, we have
to execute better. I thought (against Eastern
Michigan) there were plays to be made there.
Whether it was a protection breakdown or a
poor throw, or whatever it was, we just didn’t
make the play.”
Against theEagles, PennStatehadsixthird-
down tries of 10 yards or more, failing to con-
vert each time.
The Lions’ only conversion of the game
came on a third-and-6 when Christian
Hackenberg hit fellow true freshman Richy
Anderson for a gain of 8.
“It will get better,” O’Brien said. “I can’t
guarantee it. I’m not into guarantees, but I do
believe we’re workingonit, andit will deﬁnite-
ly improve. It needs to.
“There’s no question about it. It has to
improve.”
Carteronthemend
Kyle Carter suited up last week, but the
Lions were sure tokeephimout of harm’s way.
The tight end suffered what he called a
hyperextended elbow against Syracuse but
practiced over the next week and played
against Eastern Michigan.
His snaps were limited, however, and
Breneman started in his spot at F-tight end.
That was by design.
“Hewas injured, sowedidthebest wecould
to hold himout of the Eastern Michigan game
so he’d be ready for Central Florida,” O’Brien
said Thursday on his weekly radio show.
Carter, who was the team’s second-leading
receiver a year ago despite missing three
full games and part of a fourth, has just two
catches for 16 yards this season in large part
because of the injury.
O’Brien said those numbers will increase,
starting on Saturday.
PSU
From page 1B
season was whether it
would be a one-trick
pony on offense. The
Knights graduated one
of District 2’s top pass-
ing combination, leav-
ing McCarthy as their
lone weapon on paper.
Problem solved — quar-
terback Kyle Pieczynski
and receiver Joshua
Gonzalez have connected
three times for touch-
downs. Pieczynski is on
pace to toss 20 touch-
down passes; Gonzalez
is averaging 32 yards per
reception.
“This year, they have
another threat on the
perimeter,” Keating said.
“He had two touchdown
catches against Hazleton
in Week 1. He is deﬁnitely
someone now you have
to keep an eye on on the
perimeter because you not
only have to worry about
McCarthy now, but that
deep threat on the perim-
eter.
“It’s kind of like a 1-2
punch now. The quarter-
back throws the ball well
and they are a headache
offensively.”
The Spartans can be the
same. Quarterback Mike
Baur is a dual threat. He
has passed for 337 yards
and rushed for 145 more.
He’s even added a TD
reception to his resume
this year. New starting
running back Eric Acosta
had 228 yards and four
TDs, averaging 8.8 yards
per carry.
Eight different players
have caught passes, led
by Mike Sands with eight
grabs. He is coming off a
career game in the 35-12
victory over DelVal last
Friday.

because of a hamstring injury.
The teams traded three-
and-outs, and on New York’s
next possession Smith found
Stephen Hill deep across the
middle for a 33-yard gain.
But as cornerback Aqib Talib
was bringing Hill down,
the receiver fumbled and
McCourty scooped it up and
took it all the way to the Jets’
3-yard-line.
Stephen Gostkowski’s ﬁeld
goal made it 10-0.
Smith led the Jets into ﬁeld
goal position, thanks largely
to a 27-yard completion to
Santonio Holmes that picked
up another 15 yards because
defensive lineman Chandler
Jones hit Smith in the head as
he threw. The Jets were given
a 9-yard touchdown on a pass
from Smith to Clyde Gates,
but replays showed the ball
popped out as he went to the
turf.
Instead, they settled for
Nick Folk’s 37-yard ﬁeld goal.
In the second quarter,
Brady found rookie Kenbrell
Thompkins for a 38-yard
completion that helped set
up Gostkowski’s 30-yard
ﬁeld goal that made it 13-3.
Gostkowski missed a 43-yard
ﬁeld goal attempt at the end
of the half after an apparent
25-yard touchdown pass to
Thompkins was overruled on
replay.
Bothteamswontheir open-
ers on last-second ﬁeld goals.
In their ﬁrst home game
since the Boston Marathon
bombings, the Patriots held a
pregame ceremony to honor
several of those injured by the
explosions.

Abington Heights (2-0)
at
Williamsport (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Abington’s Joe Repshis (74-23, 9th year);
Williamsport’s Kevin Choate (1-11, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Abington 42-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Williamsport leads 3-1
Quick Fact: Abington scored all 42 points in the frst half last year.
Scouting Abington: The defending D2-3Achampion has yet to allow
a point this season. Saturday’s 17-0 victory over Dallas was a solid but
not spectacular performance. QBJ.C. Showand WR Nate Hollander
exploited the middle of the Dallas defense, but the run ofense could
have been better. The defense is a bit ahead at this point.
Scouting Williamsport: Coming of a victory that snapped a 12-
game losing streak, the Millionaires went bankrupt in a 25-0 loss to
Mifin County. RB Isaac Foust was bottled up after a strong opener,
fnishing with 36 yards. There was a revolving door at quarterback,
something that looked solved in the opener.
What To Expect: Key game for Williamsport, which can start another
early-season freefall. Awin isn’t necessary, but a better efort
defnitely is.
- John Erzar
Carbondale (2-0)
at
GAR (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Carbondale’s Larry Gabriel (17-28, 5th year); GAR’s
Paul Wiedlich Jr. (29-10, 4th year)
Last Meeting: GAR 20-19 in 2012
All-Time Series: GAR leads 1-0
Quick Fact: GAR stopped a two-point conversion pass with 15
seconds left to preserve last year’s win.
Scouting Carbondale: The Chargers defeated Riverside 26-0 last
Friday and have outscored their two opponents 60-0. The caveat
is that neither foe is expected to be very strong this year. So the
jury is still out on howgood Carbondale really is. The Chargers are
a run-oriented team, but the rushing numbers haven’t been overly
impressive considering the competition.
Scouting GAR: Teams can get away with mistakes and poor
tackling against lesser opponents. GAR found out what the two
mean against a powerhouse last Saturday night as it was run over
48-7 by Dunmore. The only touchdown came via punt return as the
Grenadiers lost the yardage battle 495-151.
What To Expect: GAR is probably a better teamthan it showed in
its frst two games, while Carbondale probably isn’t as strong as its
record indicated. Still, the Grenadiers will be in a battle once again.
- John Erzar
Hanover Area (1-1)
at
Lakeland (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Hanover Area’s Ron Hummer (35-44, 8th year);
Lakeland’s JefWasilchak (139-58, 17th year)
Last Meeting: Lakeland 34-15 in 2012
All-Time Series: Lakeland leads 4-2
Quick Fact: Hanover Area RB Brian Belcher rushed for a career-high
142 yards when the teams played last year.
Scouting Hanover Area: The third quarter proved to be the
Hawkeyes’ downfall last Friday as they surrendered 20 points in a
54-40 loss to Lackawanna Trail. The ofense was a welcomed sight
for Hanover Area, which struggled to score in 2012. It had three
rushing and two passing touchdowns. The defense, after a strong
performance at Mid Valley, reverted to its 2012 form, though.
Scouting Lakeland: Lakeland put on a nice second-half rally vs.
Valley Viewlast Friday, but couldn’t hold the lead and fell 26-21. RB
Chris Roche hasn’t been able to get moving yet, averaging less than
3 yards per carry. Keep an eye on Jef Burton, the linebacker not the
NASCAR driver. He has 35 tackles through two games.
What To Expect: Hanover Area, winless in 2012, is still a young
teamso uneven performances like last Friday are expected. If the
Hawkeyes fromWeek 1 showup, this could be an entertaining game.
- John Erzar
Hazleton Area (0-2)
at
Delaware Valley (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Hazleton Area’s JimDrumheller (5-17, 3rd year);
DelVal’s Keith Olsommer (87-69, 14th year)
Last Meeting: DelVal 49-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Hazleton Area leads 5-3
Quick Fact: DelVal hasn’t started a season with three consecutive
losses since 2000.
Scouting Hazleton Area: The Cougars dropped their eighth in a
rowlast Friday, falling 26-16 to Coughlin. The running game never got
going and the passing ofense was plagued by a couple costly drops.
The defense gave up at least 370 yards for the second time.
Scouting DelVal: The Warriors played better in Week 2, but still fell
35-12 to Wyoming Valley West. They trailed 21-12 late in the third
quarter. RB Lex Rosario rushed for 72 yards, but the passing ofense
– a staple to last year’s D2-4Atitle team– is still very much a work
in progress.
What To Expect: Along day in school followed by a very long bus
trip won’t make it easy for the Cougars to return to Hazleton with a
victory.
- John Erzar
Meyers (1-1)
at
Lackawanna Trail (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Meyers’ Corry Hanson (9-14, 3rd year); Trail’s Steve
Jervis (46-60, 11th year)
Last Meeting: Trail 35-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Trail leads 3-0
Quick Fact: Trail piled up 428 yards of ofense in last year’s game.
Scouting Meyers: Meyers scored on a 90-yard TD run by QB Matt
DeMarco in the frst quarter and then everything went black in a
49-6 loss to Old Forge last Friday. The rushing attack, Meyers’ staple,
averaged 2 yards on its other 24 carries. The passing game lost
yardage when it tried. Meanwhile the run defense was shredded for
10.8 yards per carry.
Scouting Trail: The Lions are positioning themselves as the dark
horse for the D2-Atitle, right behind Dunmore and Old Forge. They’ve
received incredible balance fromthe ofense so far, including in last
Friday’s 54-40 win over Hanover Area. QBVic Mallory has thrown the
ball well, while a trio of backs has been strong. But allowing 40 points
to Hanover Area – a teamnot expected to have a strong ofense – is
troubling.
What To Expect: Trail isn’t as strong as Old Forge, but has enough
frepower to make it a tough night for Meyers. The Mohawks need to
forget last Friday and play to their capabilities
- John Erzar
Montrose (0-2)
at
Tunkhannock (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Montrose’s Russ Canevari (2-20, 3rd year);
Tunkhannock’s Rod Azar (3-19, 3rd year)
Last Meeting: Tunkhannock 28-18 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tunkhannock leads 9-6
Quick Fact: Tunkhannock QB Brian Beauchemin’s only completions
in last year’s game were for TDs of 51 and 60 yards.
Scouting Montrose: Montrose is still looking for its frst points of
the season after being pummeled 60-0 by Lake-Lehman last Friday.
The Meteors have been shut out in fve of their last 11 games. There
were no bright spots on either side of the ball in the Lehman loss as
Montrose was outgained 485-37.
Scouting Tunkhannock: After playing Coughlin tough in their
opener, the Tigers backslid in a 35-0 loss to surprising West Scranton.
Aturnover and blocked punt led to a 21-point second quarter by
the Invaders. Alaundry list of mistakes prevented the ofense from
gaining any continuity. RB Ryan Cywinski fnished with 41 yards and
has yet been able to get going.
What To Expect: Asputtering Montrose squad is the best medicine
for Tunkhannock, which should be able to take control by halftime.
- John Erzar
Holy Cross (0-2)
at
Northwest (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Holy Cross’ Josh Watters (0-2, 1st year); Northwest’s
Carl Majer (35-23, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Northwest 41-0 in 2012
All-Time Series: Northwest leads 3-0
Quick Fact: Holy Cross had just 48 yards of ofense in last year’s
game.
Scouting Holy Cross: The Crusaders lost their 14th in a row
Saturday, falling to Holy Redeemer 44-20. There were some good
signs as RBTomWare (78 yards) led a trio of runners with at least
60 yards on the ground. And Holy Cross led 8-6 at halftime. Moral
victories no doubt, but the programneeds some before it breaks into
the win column. The Crusaders have allowed 101 points thus far.
Scouting Northwest: Majer is back after serving his two-game
suspension and is raring to go. Fromafar, he said he doesn’t think his
Rangers have played their best football yet. Two victories by four and
fve points support that theory. WR Nick Long had a pair of TD grabs
in the 12-7 victory over Susquehanna last Saturday, but the ofense
failed to score in the second half.
What To Expect: Northwest is fnally at home and should be pumped
to put up some big numbers on the scoreboard tonight.
- John Erzar
Lake-Lehman (1-1)
at
Wyoming Area (0-2)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Lehman’s Jerry Gilsky (19-15, 4th year); Wyoming
Area’s Randy Spencer (31-27, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Wyoming Area 49-14 in 2012
All-Time Series: Wyoming Area leads 26-6
Quick Fact: Lehman won the regular-season meeting 15-14 in 2012.
Wyoming Area won the rematch in the D2-2Aplayofs.
Scouting Lehman: The Black Knights did what was expected,
bouncing back froma tough loss to roll Montrose 60-0 last Friday.
WBJoey Vigil rushed for 160 yards on seven carries, all in the frst
half. RBs Dustin Jones and Brady Butler and QBJosh Sayre each
added at least 50 more. Montrose, one of District 2’s weakest
programs, managed just 37 yards of ofense.
Scouting Wyoming Area: The Warriors enter of a 29-14 loss to Mid
Valley. The ofense managed just one TD and has two all season. RB
Jef Skursky provided some tough running, but the wait is on for
others to become playmakers. That might take time. The punt team
allowed another score, this time a safety on a bad snap. The defense
has been OK but nothing special.
What To Expect: Three losses won’t kill Wyoming Area’s chances of
defending its D2-2Atitle. But the Warriors need to pick it up the pace
sooner than later. That probably won’t happen tonight.
- John Erzar
Pittston Area (0-2)
at
Crestwood (1-1)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Pittston Area’s Mike Barrett (6-16, 3rd year);
Crestwood’s Greg Myers (49-49, 8th year)
Last Meeting: Crestwood 14-12 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tied 5-5
Quick Fact: Faulty lights postponed last year’s game. It was played
the following afternoon.
Scouting Pittston Area: The Patriots once again played well in
the frst half against a quality opponent. But once again, the game
slipped away in the second half as Scranton eased away for a 34-18
victory. RB Kyle Gattuso is coming of a career-high 122 yards on the
ground as the running game is showing life. The line needs to pass
block better as it allowed six sacks last Friday.
Scouting Crestwood: The Comets shook of a Week 1
embarrassment at Berwick to defeat slumping North Pocono 40-21.
RBTanner Kahlau has been one of the WVC’s biggest surprises,
while RB Frank Aigeldinger had 111 yards vs. North Pocono. The pass
ofense has made a cameo thus far. The defense was much better
last Friday, but the opponent was much weaker.
What To Expect: The hardest game of the week to predict. It could
come down to which teammakes the fewest miscues.
- John Erzar
Valley West (2-0)
at
Scranton (2-0)
7 p.m. today
The Coaches: Valley West’s Pat Keating (33-14, 5th year); Scranton’s
Mike Marichak (34-22, 6th year)
Last Meeting: Scranton 34-14 in 2012
All-Time Series: Tied 7-7
Quick Fact: Valley West surrendered TD runs of 56, 63 and 80 yards
in last year’s meeting.
Scouting Valley West: The Spartans disposed of Delaware Valley last
Friday 35-12. The numbers looked solid, with RB Eric Acosta gaining
133 yards and QB Mike Baur tossing for 152 more. WR Mike Sands
nabbed a pair of TD passes. But the efort, according to Keating
afterward, was uneven. They can’t aford any slips tonight.
Scouting Scranton: The Knights were supposed to be down from
2012, but it doesn’t look that way yet. RBJake McCarthy recorded
his second 200-yard game in a 34-18 victory over Pittston Area. QB
Jake Pieczynski continues to throwthe ball well. The defense, though,
needs some tightening up.
What To Expect: An excellent game that could go either way. The
winner has a big upperhand for a D2/4-11 Class 4Aplayof spot.
- John Erzar
Berwick (2-0)
at
Dallas (0-2)
2 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Berwick’s George Curry (425-92-5, 44th year); Dallas’
Bob Zaruta (7-6, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Berwick 28-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Berwick leads 11-4
Quick Fact: Berwick defeated Dallas 50-14 during the 2012 regular
season. The last meeting was in the D2-3Aplayofs.
Scouting Berwick: The Dawgs rolled another opponent, smoking
Pottsville 56-7. RB Dain Kowalski had three TD runs, but Berwick
hasn’t opened the throttle yet on the running game. That’s because
QB C.J. Curry and WRAndrewForce are putting up crazy numbers.
The defense has its swagger back, holding the Crimson Tide to
minus-1 yard rushing on 27 carries.
Scouting Dallas: The Mountaineers failed to score once again, being
shut out 17-0 by Abington Heights last Saturday afternoon. There
were a couple bright spots on ofense, but the unit is still devoid of
a solid playmaker. Ahuge red fag was howAbington exploited the
defense via pass between the hashmarks. Arepeat performance will
yield disastrous results vs. Berwick.
What To Expect: The Dawgs have a huge game next week against
rival Wyoming Valley West. As long as they’re not looking ahead too
much they should leave the Back Mountain as big winners.
- John Erzar
Western Wayne (1-1)
at
Coughlin (2-0)
7 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Western Wayne’s Don McDonough Jr. (1-1, 1st year);
Coughlin’s Ciro Cinti (42-37, 8th year)
Last Meeting: Coughlin 31-28 in 2012
All-Time Series: Coughlin leads 1-0
Quick Fact: Coughlin won last year’s game with a 25-yard feld goal
with 15 seconds to play.
Scouting Western Wayne: The Wildcats were trampled by Scranton
Prep 49-0 last Friday, with their defense being victimized via ground
and air. The ofense, obviously, didn’t do much. RBJayson Figueroa
makes things happen for the Wildcats. He has 435 yards rushing –
averaging 11.2 per carry – and stopping himwill be the key. As for
passing, there’s nothing here to see as Western Wayne has thrown for
38 yards this year.
Scouting Coughlin: The Crusaders bounced Hazleton Area 26-16
last Friday. QBTimPilch had the best statistical game of his career,
although his stats were modest in general. Three receivers – Darik
Johnson, Dave Parsnik and TomMitchell – all contributed. RB Paul
Cole was a bull as usually. The defense did a solid job, but wasn’t on
the feld much. Coughlin ran 69 plays on ofense compared to 34 by
Hazleton Area.
What To Expect: Prior to the season, the matchup would appear to
be a battle of grind-it-out teams. And it still might be. But Coughlin’s
ability to mix in the pass efectively enough could be the diference.
- John Erzar
Nanticoke (1-1)
at
Susquehanna (0-2)
1 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Nanticoke’s Ron Bruza (12-19, 4th year);
Susquehanna’s Kyle Cook (0-2, 1st year)
Last Meeting: Nanticoke 10-0 in 2012
All-Time Series: Susquehanna leads 2-1
Quick Fact: Nanticoke recorded seven sacks in last year’s contest.
Scouting Nanticoke: The Trojans routed Col-Mo Vo-Tech 48-0
last Friday, with RB Pat Hempel showing his versatility. His 99-yard
interception for a touchdown ended a 33-point second quarter. But
the big gafe was Nanticoke being penalized 13 times. The Trojans
can’t aford such mistakes against better opponents.
Scouting Susquehanna: The Sabers are a whisker away frombeing
2-0. They managed just 115 yards vs. Northwest last Saturday yet lost
only 12-7. So it could be a matter of everyone getting on the same
page with the newcoaching staf. QBAustin White led the teamin
rushing and passing vs. Northwest. The defense has been leaky vs.
the run.
What To Expect: Coaches often point to Week 3 as the game they
get a good handle on their team. That fact could be pivotal on
whether the long bus ride home is a happy one for Nanticoke.
- John Erzar
Old Forge (2-0)
at
Holy Redeemer (1-1)
1 p.m. Saturday
The Coaches: Old Forge’s Mike Schuback (91-40, 12th year);
Redeemer’s Pat Reece (4-8, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Old Forge 56-7 in 2012
All-Time Series: Old Forge leads 4-0
Quick Fact: Old Forge set a school record with 56 frst-half points the
last time the teams played.
Scouting Old Forge: Old Forge topped Meyers 49-6 last Friday,
stifing another running attack. Nowthe Blue Devils need to stop
the throw-frst Royals. They saw28 passes in their frst two games,
an amount they’ll surly see tonight. It shouldn’t matter. Old Forge’s
ground attack – led by 6-foot-2 Brandon Yescavage – will be too
much for Redeemer.
Scouting Redeemer: Redeemer had another big day throwing the
ball in last Saturday’s 44-20 win over Holy Cross. The bigger news
is the rushing game has shown some punch as well. The Royals will
always be a throwing team, but countering with some runs can only
help. Unfortunately, the run defense was not very stout and will be
tested throughout by Old Forge.
What To Expect: The game of the year in the Lackawanna
Conference is next week – Old Forge at Dunmore. Old Forge won’t let
the Royals come close to wrecking the anticipation.

AP Boxing Writer
LAS VEGAS — If
Richard Schaefer looked
a bit nervous standing
near his ﬁghters on a mas-
sive stage this week at the
MGM Grand, he had good
reason.
In a city of high roll-
ers, on one of the biggest
betting days of the year,
the head of Golden Boy
Promotions is taking the
biggest gamble of all. He’s
got $60 million on the line
that Floyd Mayweather Jr.
and Canelo Alvarez will
not only deliver a great
ﬁght, but deliver at the
box ofﬁce, too.
He’s betting the 152-
pound matchup between
two unbeaten ﬁghters will
be a blockbuster, perhaps
the richest ﬁght ever. And
right now, there are not
a lot of wise guys in this
gambling city who would
bet against him.
“My goal is to break the
record,” Schaefer said. “I
think we will do 2 million
homes, which will make it
the single biggest pay-per-
view in boxing.”
If it is, it will be largely
because Golden Boy is
charging the single big-
gest price for a boxing
match, a whopping $74.95
if you want to watch in HD.
That will give boxing fans
at home not only the most
anticipated ﬁght in years
but a 140-pound title ﬁght
between Danny Garcia
and Lucas Matthysse that
would be a headline bout
anywhere else.
Want to be there in per-
son?
The ﬁght sold out in
hours, but you can still
ﬁnd a seat on the main
ﬂoor for $9,422. If that’s
too rich, the cheapest
nosebleed seat Thursday
on StubHub was $1,687.
Schaefer said the ﬁght
is such a hot ticket for
the celebrity crowd that
they’re calling asking to
buy tickets instead of
getting them free. Magic
Johnson wanted some
and so did Kobe Bryant,
but his choice of ringside
seats in the center of the
front row were already
taken.
“Saturday could be
a $200 million night,”
Schaefer said. “Boxing is
hardly a dying sport.”
Not when it has the
country’s highest-paid
athlete. Mayweather will
make at least $41.5 million
for the 12-rounder, bring-
ing his salary this year to
$73 million in two ﬁghts.
Alvarez, the red-headed
star from Mexico, won’t
do too badly himself, with
a $5 million guarantee and
a chance to make double
that if the ﬁght is a big hit.
For Schaefer and
Golden Boy it’s a bit more
complicated.
They get a windfall guar-
antee from the Showtime
network, which Schaefer
says doesn’t even cover
Mayweather’s purse.
And after splitting with
cable and satellite compa-
nies they’ll end up with
about $35 from every
house that buys the ﬁght.
Toss in a $19.9 million
live gate and a few mil-
lion here and there from
sponsorships and foreign
rights sales, and it could
be a nice payday indeed
for the company Schaefer
and Oscar De La Hoya
founded.
“I’m going to obviously
get some money Monday
morning,” Schaefer said.
“But I’m going to be out
by the time the ﬁrst bell
rings well over $60 mil-
lion.”

Seated next to Sidney
Crosby in the Pittsburgh
Penguins locker room,
Chris Conner felt at home
during Thursday’s ﬁrst
day of training camp.
After spending two
years with the Pittsburgh
organization, Conner
played the last couple of
years with the Detroit and
Phoenix organizations.
Despite the time away, he
said, a lot of the players
are the same - motioning
to Crosby. The coach-
ing staff is still in place
and the system remains
unchanged.
“Pretty much every-
thing is familiar, which
makes it great to be
back,” Conner said. “This
is one of my favorite orga-
nizations to play for, and
when they showed inter-
est in me it was an easy
decision.”
Conner had success at
both levels of the orga-
nization during the two
seasons he split between
Pittsburgh and Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton.
In 2009-2010 he set a
career-high with 56 points
in 59 games with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton. The next
season, Conner earned an
early call-up to Pittsburgh
and remained there,
appearing in 60 games
while registering seven
goals and 16 points.
Despite that past suc-
cess, Conner isn’t tak-
ing anything for granted
his second time with the
organization.
“It’s a new year and
I have to prove what I
can do. I have to prove
I can help this team win
games,” he said.
Conner spent last sea-
son in the Phoenix orga-
nization, appearing in 12
games with the Coyotes
and 60 in the AHL with
Portland. The season
before, the Michigan
native split his time
between Grand Rapids
and the Detroit Red
Wings.
“Being from Detroit, it
was a thrill to play there,”
Conner said. “Phoenix is
a class organization, too
and I enjoyed it.”
But now Conner is a
Penguin again, playing in
a system that has allowed
him to ﬁnd success in the
past.
“They play fast here
and they emphasize
working and protecting
the puck. Those are my
strengths and it’s some-
thing I kind of hang my
hat on,” Conner said.
NOTEBOOK
- During Thursday’s
scrimmage, the Black
team defeated the White
squad 5-0. Craig Adams,
Tanner Glass, Sidney
Crosby, Chris Kunitz and
Pascal Dupuis accounted
for the goals. Marc-Andre
Fleury allowed four goals
in the ﬁrst half of the
scrimmage.
- With forward spots
tight in this year’s train-
ing camp, former Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguin
Joe Vitale knows he’ll
have to battle in order to
spend a third straight sea-
son with the NHL club.
“My mindset is the same
as it was a few years ago.
It’s a competitive game
and there’s a lot of play-
ers that want my spot,”
he said. “There are no
guarantees and the worst
thing I can do is get com-
fortable. I welcome the
competition and I love it.”
- Forward Steve
MacIntyre spent much
of his summer on the
back of a horse as one
of 1,100 ropers to com-
pete in the Memory Lane
Team Roping Challenge
in Alberta. MacIntyre ﬁn-
ished third overall in the
event.
- The third and ﬁnal
group in Thursday’s prac-
tice went through sev-
eral minutes of skating
tests. Defenseman Robert
Bortuzzo stood out from
the crowd, and the former
Wi l kes- Barre/Scranton
blueliner has reported to
camp in noticeably good
shape.”I got the contract
out of the way over the
summer and now it’s just
about playing hockey
games,” he said. “I want
to play every night and be
a top six defenseman.”
And of his success in
the skating test? “No mat-
ter how many times you
do it, there’s still nerves.
But you just go.
Don’t even think about
your legs. For those four
minutes you go and then
you’re done for another
year.”
- Former Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton forward Beau
Bennett spent part of his
summer participating in
the orientation camp for
the U.S. Olympic team.
While he won’t know if he
made the team until the
end of the year, Bennett
said he is thankful for
the experience. “It was
a great opportunity just
to be around the U.S.
players and that atmo-
sphere,” Bennett said.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton
Manning loves Eli’s game, and not just
because he’s his little brother.
As a fellow NFL quarterback, he
appreciates the way Eli has improved
every year despite an ever-changing
supporting cast, all while working
under the bright glare of Broadway.
Oh, andthose twoSuper Bowl rings
are pretty sweet, too.
Big brother has just one of those.
The siblings square off Sunday at
MetLife Stadium, the third — and
quite possibly last — time they’ll face
each other in the pros. Peyton came
out on top in the ﬁrst two, with his old
team, the Indianapolis Colts, beating
the NewYork Giants in2006 and‘10.
Peyton, 37, sees Eli, 32, through
the dual prism of blood and quarter-
back brotherhood, and he’s thoroughly
impressedby the view.
“Eli is a great player,” Peyton said.
“He’s a consistent player. I think he’s
gotten better every year. I’ve always
thought that’s the goal for a brand new
player is to try to be a better player
each year than the year you were
before. He’s made things happen with
different players, different receivers
and different running backs. He’s been
very ﬂexible to adjust to the different
players that he’s played with. But his
consistency as a player has been awful-
ly impressive.”
The Mannings talk twice a week on
average —last season they played the
same divisions in the NFC and AFC,
sotheysharednotes onthosecommon
opponents.
“Usually we’ll talk on Sunday or
Monday after the previous game and
thenwe’ll kindof talkmaybe Thursday
or Friday kind of about the upcoming
game,” Peyton said. “We’ve always
done that. We’ll share.”
Not this week.
They bothsaidthere was nofootball
dialogue leading up to Manning Bowl
III, just the typical bantering among
brothers.
There’s been enough chatter from
everyone else. Aside from the “ﬁrst
family of football” angle, this is the ﬁrst
game in NFL history pitting quarter-
backs whothrewfor 400-plus yards the
previous week.
Peyton threwfor 462 yards and tied
an NFL record with seven touchdown
passes against Baltimore. Like Peyton,
Eli alsocompleted27of 42throws, and
he accumulated450yards at Dallas but
had three interceptions to go with four
TDs.
“The past two times we have, for
whatever reason, lined up across
from each other during the National
Anthem,” Peyton said. “So, you
do take a moment to realize that it
is your brother over there that is a
quarterback for the New York Giants
in the NFL and it is the same per-
son that you grew up with. So it is
unique and I think you do take a
moment to realize that it is special.
Eli Manning gets some brotherly love

PHILADELPHIA —
Steve Mason’s goalie helmet
looks like a prop straight out
of “The Walking Dead.”
His airbrushed gear
includes American icons
Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross
and George Washington
reimagined as zombies. Yes,
Franklin is even, naturally,
holding a skeleton key on the
eye-popping design.
The art seems ﬁtting since
the Flyers were a dead team
walking last season — they
missed the playoffs for the
ﬁrst time in six years.
With Mason in net, the
Flyers will try andcome back
to life as Eastern Conference
contenders.
Mason and Ray Emery
have one of the more intrigu-
ing battles of the preseason
as they each try to become
the No. 1 goaltender instead
of splitting time as a tan-
dem. The ﬁrst step came
Thursday when the Flyers
opened training camp
under ﬁfth-year coach Peter
Laviolette.
Outside the locker room,
the goalies talked of a friend-
ship forged through offsea-
son texts, the promise of
rooting for the other, and
ﬁlling any role as long as the
teamwon.
Long gone was any talk
of bears or feeling lost in the
woods. Out were thoughts
on the universe, Siberian
Huskies, and Stalin.
Indeed, as Flyers fans will
tell you, Ilya Bryzgalov’s
eccentricities playedas much
a part in Philadelphia buying
out the ﬁnal seven years of
his nine-year contract as
his underachieving perfor-
mance. Mason’s ghoulish
gear actually seemed upbeat
compared to some of the
daily stresses the Flyers had
in dealing with Bryzgalov.
It’s a newfeeling in net.
“It’s a healthy competi-
tion, I guess you could say,”
Emery said. “Bothguys want
to play, obviously, as much as
they can.”
Mason has the chance to
prove he’s more the goalie
who was the NHL’s rookie of
the year in 2008-09 and not
the one who posted a goals-
against average of 3-plus
each of the next three sea-
sons.
Mason had it all ﬁgured
out when he went 33-20-7
with 10 shutouts and won
the Calder Trophy. But he
could never recapture that
ﬂeeting success again. He
fell to 20 wins and ﬁve shut-
outs the next season, and
hasn’t had a winning record
since he was a rookie. He
bottomed out in 2011-12
with a 16-26-3 mark for the
Blue Jackets.
Columbus, with just one
postseason berth in its his-
tory, wanted a clean break
last season, and — once and
for all — dealt Mason to
Philadelphia.
“Whether or not Bryz was
coming back, my goal was to
come in and be the No. 1 guy
here,” Mason said. “That’s
the opportunity as it is now.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. —
Brandt Snedeker was making
so many birdies that even an
18-foot putt lookedlikeamere
tap-in.
When he ﬁnished his
amazing run Thursday in
the BMW Championship, he
had seven straight birdies on
his card and an 8-under 63 at
blustery Conway Farms.
“You get on runs like that,
you get excited for the next
hole because you knowsome-
thinggoodisgoingtohappen,
because you’re in such a good
frame of mind and everything
is going in the right direc-
tion,” Snedeker said.
Inthis case, everythingwas
goingin—a15-foot putt from
the fringe on the 13th, anoth-
er 15-footer on the next hole
when he used the blade of his
sand wedge to bump the ball
out of the short rough, and a
40-footer from the fringe on
the 17th stood out to him.
That gave him a one-shot
lead over Zach Johnson in
the third FedEx Cup playoff
event. Tiger Woods sounded
disgusted with his round of
66, mainly because he had a
pair of three-putt bogeys and
missed a 4-foot birdie putt
over his last ﬁve holes.
“I’mnot exactlyreal happy,”
Woods said. “I played well,
and I just didn’t get much out
of that round.
I missed three little short
ones in there and then played
the par 5s evenpar. That’s just
not very good.”
Steve Stricker, Charl
Schwartzel and Kevin
Streelman also were at 66.
The opening round was
mainly about the debut of
Conway Farms, a Tom Fazio
design north of Chicago
which has a blend of strong
holes and plenty of birdie
opportunities onpar 4s where
players hit wedge for their
second shot.
Low scoring was predict-
ed, and Snedeker’s round was
proof of that.
But as the wind picked up
and shifted directions, the
course was far from a push-
over.
Rickie Fowler opened with
a pair of double bogeys, fol-
lowed by a pair of bogeys. He
rallied for a 77.
Rory McIlroy made a dou-
ble bogey — his ninth of the
FedEx Cup playoffs — on his
second hole, and then three-
putted from 4 feet for a triple
bogey and staggered to a 78.
Lee Westwood, ﬁghting
severe pain in his back and
ribs, had an 80.The top 30

PITTSBURGH — Jeff
Locke allowed three hits
over seven innings to
earn his ﬁrst victory in
nearly two months and
the Pittsburgh Pirates
beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1
on Thursday night.
Locke (10-5) struck out
ﬁve and walked one to
help the Pirates win their
fourth straight as they
try to catch ﬁrst-place St.
Louis in the NL Central.
Mark Melancon worked
out of a two-on, none-out
jam in the ninth for his
14th save.
Jordy Mercer went 2
for 4 with an RBI double
for Pittsburgh. Marlon
Byrd and Pedro Alvarez
each added an RBI single.
Chris Rusin (2-4) gave
up two runs and four hits
in seven innings for the
Cubs.
Nationals 7, Mets 2
NEW YORK — Ryan
Zimmerman, Adam
LaRoche and Wilson
Ramos homered off Aaron
Harang in his Mets debut,
and Washington beat New
York to complete a four-
game sweep.
Anthony Rendon
also connected for
Washington, which out-
homered the Mets 13-0
in a series that helped
the Nationals remain on
the fringe of the NL wild-
card race. They moved
within 5½ games of idle
Cincinnati for the ﬁnal
spot with the rain-inter-
rupted win.
Zimmerman added
an RBI double in the
eighth after Denard Span
extended his career-best
hitting streak to 23 games
with a leadoff double. The
Nationals won 17 of those
games.
Braves 6, Marlins 1
MIAMI — Freddy
Garcia earned his second
NL victory since 2007,
and his ﬁrst since join-
ing the Atlanta Braves
last month, pitching
six innings to help beat
Miami.
Freddie Freeman had
three hits on his 24th
birthday, including his
20th home run. Chris
Johnson also had three
hits to raise his average
to .330.
Garcia (1-1) allowed
ﬁve hits and one run. He
was making a spot start
in place of rookie left-
hander Alex Wood, whose
turn was skipped to give
him a breather.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —Wil Myers
hit a tiebreaking double in the
eighth inning and the Tampa Bay
Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3
on Thursday night to avoid a three-
game sweep.
Myers drove in Evan
Longoria, who also doubled
off Rubby De La Rosa (0-1),
to give the Rays a 4-3 lead.
Jake McGee (5-3) pitched
a scoreless eighth before
Fernando Rodney got three
outs to earn his 34th save for
the Rays, who lead the race
for the second AL wild card
despite going 5-13 since Aug.
25.
David Ortiz and Jarrod
Saltalamacchia homered
for Boston, which has an
8½-game advantage over
second-place Tampa Bay in
the ALEast.
The Red Sox threatened
in the ninth when Stephen
Drew had an inﬁeld single
and pinch-hitter Mike
Carp walked with one out.
Rodney worked out of the
jam when pinch-hitter Will
Middlebrooks lined out to
third and Dustin Pedroia
popped out.
Athletics 8, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS — A.J.
Grifﬁn allowed just two
hits in seven innings lead-
ing Oakland to the win to
increase its division lead
heading into a crucial week-
end series.
Josh Reddick homered
and had three RBIs for
Oakland, which has a 3½
game lead over idle Texas in
theAmericanLeagueWest. It
is Oakland’s largest lead over
the Rangers since Aug. 3. The
teams are to scheduled play a
three-game series this week-
end in the Lone Star State.
Oswaldo Arcia homered
for Minnesota, which has lost
six of eight.
In winning his fourth
straight start, Grifﬁn (14-9)
struck out eight and walked
just one batter.
Making his ﬁrst start since
being recalled from Triple-A,
Minnesota starter Scott
Diamond (5-11) allowed ﬁve
runs — four earned — in 4
2-3 innings.
He struck out six of the
ﬁrst nine batters he faced,
including four straight, and
lowered his opponents’ bat-
ting average to .165 the ﬁrst
time through the lineup, the
lowest mark in the majors
among pitchers with at least
130 innings pitched.
Other thanallowing Arcia’s
homerun in the seventh,
Grifﬁn, who has served up
a major league leading 34
homeruns, didn’t have many
problems the rest of the way.
Minnesota had two run-
ners on with one out in the
fourth, but Arcia lined out
to second baseman Alberto
Callaspo and Brian Dozier
was doubled off ﬁrst. Dozier
had walked.
Making his ﬁrst start since
being recalled from Triple-A
Rochester, Minnesota starter
Scott Diamond (5-11) lasted
just 4 2-3 innings. He allowed
ﬁve runs — four earned —
on six hits while striking out
one.
Before the game, manager
Ron Gardenhire said that
Diamond appears to be a
much more conﬁdent pitcher
than he was before his Aug. 1
demotion. Insixminor league
starts, Diamond was 4-0 with
a 2.41 ERA.
The left-hander barely
broke a sweat in retiring the
A’s in order in the ﬁrst two
innings before the Oakland
hitters forced Diamond deep
into counts.
One day after scoring
18 runs against the Twins,
Oakland used some two-out
hitting to take a 4-0 lead in
the third inning.
Angels 4, Blue Jays 3
TORONTO — Garrett
Richards pitched 6 2-3
innings for his third straight
win, Kole Calhoun hit a solo
home run and Los Angeles
beat Toronto to complete a
three-game sweep.
Erick Aybar had two hits
and scored twice as the
Angels won for the 15th time
in 20 games and improved
to 12-2 in their past 14 road
contests.
Calhoun went 2 for 3 with
a walk to help the Angels
win for the 10th time in 13
meetings with the Blue Jays.
Los Angeles recorded its ﬁrst
sweep in Toronto since April
16-18, 2010.
Jose Reyes homered and
ﬁnished 4 for 4 with a walk,
but the Blue Jays lost for the
29th time when scoring ﬁrst.
Richards left after Reyes
hit a two-out double in the
seventh. Michael Kohn came
on and walked Munenori
Kawasaki on four pitches,
then struck out Brett Lawrie
to end the threat.

MIAMI — Now a full-
time spectator for the
rest of the season, Miami
Marlins ace Jose Fernandez
sat quietly behind the dug-
out railing Thursday as his
team lost 6-1 to the Atlanta
Braves.
He didn’t lead cheers,
help the bat boy or lobby
to pinch-run. He merely sat
and watched.
The new Jose? Maybe.
Manager Mike Redmond
wants the rookie right-
hander to tone down his
exuberant behavior, and
says the Atlanta Braves
had a legitimate grievance
with the rookie’s behavior,
which led to a bench-clear-
ing confrontation during
his ﬁnal start of the season
Wednesday.
The Braves were unhap-
py Fernandez stood at
home plate admiring his
home run, then spat toward
the Braves’ Chris Johnson
while rounding third base.
The Braves also were
annoyed Fernandez reacted
with a cocky grin when he
gave up a homer to Evan
Gattis, then stared toward
the Braves bench at the end
of the inning.
Redmond sided with the
Braves.
“Jose is an emotional
guy,” Redmond said
Thursday. “That’s part of
his game that is going to
improve. We don’t want to
take the ‘having fun’ aspect
away from him. That’s what
makes him him. But at the
same time, I think maybe
he can center of that a little
bit. … That might be a part
of his game he needs to
look at, and maybe try to
do something different.”
After the game,
Fernandez apologized for
his behavior. Lost in the
furor was another ﬁne out-
ing by the All-Star right-
hander in his ﬁnal start
of the year. He allowed
one run in seven innings
Wednesday to help Miami
win 5-2. The 21-year-old
Fernandez ﬁnished the year
12-6 with a 2.19 ERA, the
second-lowest in the majors
behind only the Dodgers’
Clayton Kershaw.
He struck out 187 in 172
2-3 innings, and won’t pitch
again because the Marlins
set a 170-inning limit for
him this year.

ROUND ROCK, Texas —
Dell Inc. will end its quarter-
century history as a publicly
traded company and try to engi-
neer a turnaround away from
the prying eyes of Wall Street
after shareholders’ approval
Thursday of a $24.8 billion buy-
out offer from the company’s
founder.
At the end of a shareholders
meeting Thursday, Dell ofﬁcials
said that based on preliminary
results, there were enough
votes in favor of CEO Michael
Dell’s buyout proposal. The
company did not immediately
announce the tally.
“This is a great outcome for
our customers and our com-
pany,” Michael Dell, the com-
pany’s chairman, CEO and
founder, said in a conference
call with investors.
Like other PC makers, Dell
Inc. has been hit hard in recent
years as consumers shift their
buying habits away from tradi-
tional desktops and laptops and
toward tablets and other mobile
devices.
Michael Dell said the buyout
marks the ﬁrst step in a multi-
year transformation that will
involve Dell Inc. going back to
its roots and focusing on the
“entrepreneurial spirit” that the
company was originally built
on.
Dell started selling PCs out
of his dorm room while he was
still a freshmanat the University
of Texas. His company went
public four years later. As a
private company, Dell will have
the ﬂexibility it needs to make
investments it needs to without
the limitations and scrutiny that
come with being a public com-
pany, he said.
Last month, Dell reported
a 72 percent drop in proﬁt for
its most recent quarter, as the
company cut prices to shore
up computer sales. Dell’s stock
has plunged by more than 40
percent since Michael Dell
returned for a second stint as
CEOin 2007. In afternoon trad-
ing Thursday, Dell shares were
unchanged at $13.85.
Michael Dell, who made his
offer with an investment group
led by Silver Lake Partners,
maintains that turning around
the company will involve a
painful realignment that is
likely to trim its earnings for
another year or two. As a
result, he believes, the turn-
around will be easier to pull off
away from Wall Street and its
ﬁxation on short-term results.
Michael Dell was present
for Thursday’s meeting, which
lasted about 15 minutes.

STERLING HEIGHTS,
Mich. — The big SUV rolls on.
Five years ago, when gas hit
$4 per gallon, auto industry
analysts boldly predicted that
enormous SUVs would vanish
like the automobile tail ﬁn.
On Thursday, General
Motors is unveiling a com-
pletely redesigned lineup of
its truck-based SUVs, three-ton
behemoths that are still popu-
lar with drivers hauling around
boats, campers and large fami-
lies, or who like to sit high or
feel safer in a heavy vehicle.
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe
and Suburban, GMC Yukon
and Cadillac Escalade will hit
showrooms in either late win-
ter or early spring.
“There are some people,
especially in our market, who
want a product in that seg-
ment,” says Ed Williamson,
part-owner of two GMC and
Cadillac dealerships near
Miami, where people often use
the V8-powered SUVs to tow
boats to the ocean.
In recent years, buyers have
ﬂocked to crossovers, which
are car-based sport utilities
that are easier to drive, carry
just as many people and get
better gas mileage. Yet there’s
still a lucrative U.S. market for
the truck-based SUVs, and GM
controls more than 70 percent
of it.
Americans bought more than
132,000 big SUVs from GM
from January through August,
compared with around 114,000
in the same period a year ago,
even though the sticker price
can top $50,000 and a ﬁll-up
can cost close to $100. With
gas mileage around 17 mpg in
city and highway driving, those
ﬁll-ups come more often than
with many other vehicles.
GM executives aren’t sure if
this generation of SUVs will be
its last. Government pollution
limits and stricter fuel-econo-
my requirements in the future
could force the company’s
hand.
The giant SUVs became the
rage in the late 1990s. Gas
mileage was of little concern
with fuel at just over $1 per
gallon.
Sales were fairly stable until
2005, when gas spiked over
$3 per gallon as hurricanes
pounded Gulf Coast reﬁneries.
About the same time, compa-
nies ﬁgured out ways to put big
people-haulers on car under-
pinnings. The new vehicles
became quick hits.
As the Great Recession
arrived, the truck-based vehi-
cles also drew scorn from
environmentalists who viewed
them as icons of excess. Gas
topped $4 nationwide in the
summer of 2008. Hummer, the
poster child for gas-guzzling
waste, went out of business.
By 2009, large SUV sales had
plummeted to 228,000.
Sales of big SUVs hit 237,000
last year, up 4.5 percent from
the 2009 trough but still only
a quarter of what they were
in the boom years. Experts
suspect drivers have become
accustomed to high gas prices,
which have averaged around
$3.50 nationwide since 2011.
They ﬁnd favor with those
who have large families, but
there are still buyers who just
want something big. GM’s own
data show that more than half
of Tahoe buyers never tow any-
thing, and only 1.3 percent go
off the road at least monthly.
Only 35 percent have children
in their homes.
For GM, the business case
for updating the SUVs makes
perfect sense. They sell to
high-income households for an
average of $47,000 each, about
$20,000 above last year’s aver-
age price of a newvehicle in the
U.S. Analysts say GM makes at
least $10,000 per SUV.

WASHINGTON — Glued
to your desk at work? Cross
that off the list of excuses for
not having the time to exer-
cise.
A growing number of
Americans are standing,
walking and even cycling
their way through the
workday at treadmill desks,
standup desks or other mov-
ing workstations. Others are
forgoing chairs in favor of
giant exercise balls to stay
ﬁt.
Walking on a treadmill
while making phone calls
and sorting through emails
means “being productive
on two fronts,” said Andrew
Lockerbie, senior vice presi-
dent of beneﬁts at Brown &
Brown, a global insurance
consulting ﬁrm.
Lockerbie can burn 350
calories a day walking 3 to
4 miles on one of two tread-
mill desks that his compa-
ny’s Indianapolis ofﬁce pur-
chased earlier this year.
“I’m in meetings and at
my desk and on the phone
all day,” he said. “It’s great to
be able to have an option at
my work to get some physi-
cal activity while I’m actual-
ly doing ofﬁce stuff. You feel
better, you get your blood
moving, you think clearly.”
Treadmill desks designed
for the workplace are nor-
mally set to move at 1 to
2 mph, enough to get the
heart rate up but not too fast
to distract from reading or
talking on the phone com-
fortably.
It’s been a decade since
scientiﬁc studies began to
show that too much sit-
ting can lead to obesity and
increase the risk of devel-
oping diabetes, high blood
pressure and heart disease.
Even going to the gym three
times a week doesn’t offset
the harm of being sedentary
for hours at a time, said Dr.
James Levine, an endocri-
nologist at the Mayo Clinic.
“There’s a glob of infor-
mation that sitting is kill-
ing us,” Levine said. “You’re
basically sitting yourself into
a cofﬁn.”
More companies are
intrigued by the idea of help-
ing employees stay healthy,
lose weight and reduce
stress — especially if it
means lower insurance costs
and higher productivity, said
Levine, an enthusiastic sup-
porter of the moving work-
stations.
“Even walking at 1 mile
an hour has very substantial
beneﬁts,” Levine said, such
as doubling metabolic rate
and improving blood sugar
levels. “Although you don’t
sweat, your body moving is
sort of purring along.”
Sales at Indianapolis-
based TreadDesk are expect-
ed to increase 25 percent this
year as large corporations,
including Microsoft, Coca
Cola, United Healthcare
and Procter & Gamble have
started buying the worksta-
tions in bulk, said Jerry Carr,
the company’s president.

suit ﬁledby the federal government seeking
toblock the merger.
Atrial over that lawsuit is scheduledfor
November.
Thursday’s rulingby federal bankruptcy
Judge SeanLane inNewYork couldrestore
a sense of momentumfor the merger.
The airlines hadoriginally hopedto close
the merger this monthandcreate the world’s
biggest carrier. They’re nowshooting for
the endof the year, if they caneither settle
the antitrust lawsuit withthe U.S. Justice
Department or winthe case incourt.
Twitter tweets
its goingpublic
Twitter is goingpublic. The short messag-
ing service aptly tweetedonThursday it has
ﬁledconﬁdential documents for aninitial
public offeringof stock.
But the documents are sealed, as Twitter
is taking advantage of federal legislation
passedlast year that allows companies with
less than$1billioninrevenue inits last
ﬁscal year toavoidsubmitting public IPO
documents.
SanFrancisco-basedTwitter Inc. posted
onits ofﬁcial Twitter account Thursday
afternoonthat it has “conﬁdentially submit-
tedanS-1to the SECfor a plannedIPO.”
The conﬁdentiality will likely helpTwitter
avoidthe public hoopla that surroundedthe
initial public offerings of other high-proﬁle
social networkingcompanies, including
Facebook Inc., whichwent public inMay
2012.
