New wheels for a new year

DAMASCUS, Syria Momentum appeared to build Tuesday for Western military action against Syria, with the U.S. and France saying they are in position for a strike, while the government in Damascus vowed to use all possible measures to repel it. The prospect of a dramatic U.S.-led intervention into Syrias civil war stemmed from the

Wests assertion still not endorsed by United Nations inspectors that President Bashar Assads government was responsible for an alleged chemical attack on civilians outside Damascus on Aug. 21 that the group Doctors Without Borders says killed 355 people. Assad denies the claim. The Arab League also threw its weight behind calls for punitive action, blaming the Syrian government for the attack and calling for those responsible to be brought to justice. British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to hold an emergency vote Thursday on his countrys response. See SYRIA | 14A

WILKES-BARRE The citys 2015 mayoral election might seem like a lifetime away in the world of municipal politics, but Bruce Simpson thinks now is the right time to announce a challenge to Mayor Tom Leighton, citing perceived escalating violence across the city. Sherman Hills is a festering

problem that has been there a long time, Simpson said of the Wilkes-Barre housing complex. Most recently, two girls were shot there Saturday afternoon when they were apparently caught in the middle of a confrontation between adults.

WILKES-BARRE Bernard Prevuznak was named WilkesBarre Area School Districts superintendent, again, by a 7-3 vote at a special meeting Tuesday, getting a three-year contract starting at $140,000 with raises based on his ranking under a new evaluation system with four levels. Prevuznak Prevuznak gets nothing for the rst two levels, 2 percent for the third level and 3 percent for the highest level. Immediately after the vote, Board Member Maryanne Toole announced she is moving to California by December to live with her brother and will be departing the board. She said she was giving advance notice so the other members could decide how to ll her

seat, which doesnt expire for two more years. Toole joined Lynn Evans and Christine Katsock in voting against Prevuznak, who was given the job last November but gave it up in April, citing family demands, and returned to his job as deputy superintendent. The board also voted to eliminate the position of deputy superintendent. Prevuznak said more duties will be assigned to the primary and secondary school directors, though he noted the board has yet to replace Secondary Director Andrew Kuhl, who recently left to become superintendent at Hanover Area School District. On Tuesday Prevuznak said he had been urged by board members, district staff and members of the public to reconsider and return to the superintendents post. This kept tugging at me, he said. Katsock said she voted against Prevuznak because he had already turned down the

job once, and because she felt the salary was too high. Evans said she feels the district needs new blood to move forward. In announcing what will essentially be a resignation after a decade on the board, Toole started choking up as she talked of her husbands death in January. My friend, my condant, my partner and the love of my life, my husband Tom, unexpectedly passed away. We had a lovely life together, she said, and sometimes Tom would compare us to Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, Romeo and Juliet, Scarlett and Rhett. Toole said she expects to attend the next two meetings. Once she leaves, the board can vote for someone to ll her post, though with the advance notice they could seek applicants beforehand. Prevuznak has been with the district since 1980 and was made deputy superintendent in 2002. When his predecessor Jeff Namey retired last summer, Prevuznak was made interim

superintendent and the board launched a national search for a replacement. Five members of the board declared the search over in November and voted to give the job to Prevuznak, with the four minority members claiming the

move was a surprise and the search process was not complete. But in April, Prevuznak had cited his fathers health and stepped down to deputy superintendent, agreeing to serve as interim until a replacement was found.

Plains shooting suspect blames errant bullet

ROGER DUPUIS

PLAINS TWP. Christopher David Bohonko told police he was shooting at a woodchuck behind his house Sunday evening and had no idea that a .22-caliber bullet intended for the furry rodent instead struck a 73-year-old woman. Bohonko, 31, of 117 Abbott St., faces misdemeanor charges of simple assault with a deadly weapon and reckless endangerment in connection with the incident that injured Dorothy Sarnick, also of Plains Township. Sarnick was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center for treatment after being shot in the arm. Bohonko was arraigned before District Judge James E. Tupper in Kingston Township Tuesday afternoon and released on $5,000 unsecured bail. Sarnick had just parked her vehicle near the running track at Leo E. Solomon Elementary School at about 7 p.m. and was turning off the ignition when she heard a pop and felt a burning sensation in her right arm, police said. Sarnick told police that the sound came from the north side of the track, near the baseball

police she heard a shot-like sound come from the wooded area toward Abbott Street and

dropped to the ground, but also did not see anyone suspicious, according to a police affidavit. Bohonko called police Tuesday to report that he was responsible for a woman being shot two days earlier. In an interview at his home, Bohonko told police he did not know he had struck anyone until seeing news accounts on Monday, according to the affidavit. He then realized that the bullet must have ricocheted off of the woodchuck and continued on before striking the woman in the parking lot of the school. The defendant stated that at that time he felt terrible and wished to confess, according to the affidavit. Bohonko was shooting at the woodchuck with a Remington rifle, according to court papers. On the way into court, Bohonko responded to a reporters question only to say that he did not mean to shoot that woman. He said nothing more when approached by reporters after the brief proceeding. Judge Tupper said police told him that Bohonko has been cooperative. A preliminary hearing was set for 8:45 a.m. Sept. 10 before District Judge Diana Malast.

an option of $2.5 million. Any nal action by the board will have to come at a regular school board meeting. Samual Scarantino, director of operations for Quad3, said cutbacks to the proposals had been made to maintain a projected $3 million budget. Reiterating comments he made at an Aug. 21 meeting, Payne said Northwest bonds could be on the market by September. Based upon estimates developed by Al Melone, director of nance and administrative personnel, taxpayers could face millage increases for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years, but over the projected 17-year life of the bonds, that millage will average out to just .35 mills.

HARRISBURG Police charged a central Pennsylvania man on Tuesday with killing a 7-month-old boy, and said he again declined to reveal the location of the childs body. Upper Darby Police led the charges against Ummad Rushdi, a 30-year-old York man who was already in jail in the kidnapping of Hamza Ali from a home in the Philadelphia suburb three weeks ago. Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said Rushdi maintains the boys death was an accident. His statement today was the baby cant be retrieved, thats his statement to one of the detectives, Chitwood said. Obviously, without a body, we believe he murdered the baby and disposed of the body so we cant nd out the cause of death. Police previously said in a court document that Rushdis brother said Rushdi told him he shook Hamza to death, then buried the child somewhere. The police afdavit released Tuesday said Rushdi also made a similar confession shortly after his arrest. Rushdis defense attorney, Mike Malloy, said Tuesday he had not been aware of the additional charges and declined to comment. Along with homicide, police on Tuesday also led charges of kidnapping to facilitate a felony, kidnapping to inict injury or terror, concealment of a childs whereabouts, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. In the afdavit led with the homicide charges, police said that on Aug. 7, after he was arrested, Rushdi told police he could only be judged by God and not the system. He further stated You will never nd that baby. I am sorry for what I did. Police said Zainab Gaal, Hamzas mother, recounted that the day before Hamza disappeared that Rushdi said he wanted to take Hamza to the home of Gaals mother in Maine.

IN BRIEF
WILKES-BARRE

1 shooting victim released, 1 critical


A 5-year-old girl who suffered a gunshot wound to her face during a weekend incident at the Sherman Hills apartment complex that injured two children was released from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville late Monday, authorities said. Police did not release the girls name or the name of the 2-year-old girl who suffered a gunshot wound to her neck. The younger girl remains in critical condition at Geisinger in Danville. The two girls were shot on Saturday in what police believe was a domestic dispute involving three men. A search warrant afdavit states William Cash, the father of the 5-yearold girl, was visiting the girls mother, Diana Page, and became upset that another man, identied only as Shai, was in the apartment. Cash was outside the apartment near the rear door when an unknown person red multiple rounds, according to the afdavit. No charges have been led.

Alleged rapist irked at prison stay


WILKES-BARRE A shackled William Esser, wearing a yellow jumpsuit assigned to inmates facing sex-related offenses, complained at his arraignment Tuesday about his accommodations at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. Esser, 27, last known address as Darling Street, WilkesBarre, said he was placed in administrative protection and was unable to patronize the jails commissary for snack foods for 30 days. City police detectives removed Esser from the county correctional facility on Tuesday and escorted him to District Judge Martin Kanes ofce to be arraigned on charges of rape and sexual assault. Police allege Esser used a 4-year-old boy to gain the trust of a woman whom he lured on June 24 to the top oor of the James F. Conahan Intermodal Parking Garage where he raped her. It was the second time authorities believe Esser sexually assaulted a woman while the boy was in his custody. Hanover Township police allege Esser picked up a woman at Academy and South Main streets, Wilkes-Barre, and drove her to the Hanover Crossings Corporate Park where he forced her to perform a lewd sex act while the boy was in the back seat of his car on July 1. Esser has been jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $20,000 bail since his arrest by township police. Kane set bail on the latest charges at $50,000. According to the criminal complaints: A 20-year-old woman from Hanover Township told police she missed a Luzerne County Transportation Authority bus to Geisinger Medical Center for a doctors appointment. While rescheduling the appointment, she engaged in a conversation with Esser, who stood near her with a 4-yearold boy. Esser asked the woman to go for a walk. She agreed, telling police she did not feel threatened because the boy was friendly. Esser, after telling the boy to sit on the stairs, allegedly exposed himself to the woman and raped her on the top oor, the complaint states. In the township incident, a woman said she was waiting under a business awning because it was raining and she could not get her umbrella to open. Esser was in a car with the boy in the back seat and offered the woman a ride. She asked to be taken to her sons day care center or her mothers place of employment on Hazle Avenue. Esser drove her to Great Valley Boulevard in Hanover Crossings, parked at the deadend and forced her to perform a sex act, according to the complaint. Esser is facing charges of sexual assault in county court involving the alleged incident in Hanover Township. A preliminary hearing on the rape charge is scheduled on Sept. 5.

Judge dismisses fraud charges

SWOYERSVILLE

District Judge David Barilla has dismissed contractor fraud charges against Lemire Stevenson Brown, 51, of Kresgeville, Monroe County, after a preliminary hearing. Swoyersville police charged Brown with accepting payment from a homeowner on Noyes Avenue to repair a roof that was damaged by Hurricane Sandy in October. Brown began the repairs but failed to complete the work. Attorney Mark Mack, who represented Brown, said evidence presented by police did not establish a case against his client when the case was heard last week. Mack said the initial contract called for the replacement of the roof shingles, which was subject to change if Brown discovered any rotten wood under the shingles. Mack said the roof did have rot and the homeowner refused to renegotiate a new contract. This really hurt his reputation, Mack said.

DALLAS TWP. Yes, the new allpropane bus eet will be parked at the Dallas School Districts new bus pad. No, the buses are not being refueled or maintained on district property. And, no, the company G. Davis Inc. is neither paying to park the buses on school property nor costing the district money for liability insurance, Superintendent Frank Galicki said after the new eet had handled morning routes for the rst day of school Tuesday. The switch to an all-propane eet, and more important, the decision to drop longtime area contractor Emanuel Bus Lines for the Pike-County based G. Davis, evoked strong and prolonged responses earlier this year from some area residents, resulting in a the school board letting both companies rebid and an unsuccessful court challenge by Emanuel. Among the questions raised in the controversy: Where the out-of-county G. Davis would park, fuel and maintain the eet, whether it would have enough propane buses for the start of school and whether the new fuel system put students at risk. On Tuesday, Galicki and Business Manager Grant Palfey said the buses will park on a bus pad built when the new high school was constructed. When the school was designed, we had considered potentially to have our own bus eet, Palfey said, a move that would have run against the trend of districts dropping in-house transportation for contracted service. The bus pad was intended to do exactly what it is doing. G. Davis did get 22 new buses as

promised, and managed to hire enough drivers despite promises by some dedicated Emanuel employees to never work for G. Davis. G. Davis hired seven Emanuel drivers and ve others who had previously worked for Emanuel, Palfey said. Other drivers were recruited as needed, including several from the companys home in Shohola, Pike County, who

were brought to the area in minivans. G. Davis is not paying for use of the bus pad, but it is covering the cost of liability insurance for using it. The company has arranged to refuel in neighboring Lehman Township at Pikes Creek Raceway Park. Galicki said the savings in propane is substantial: About $3 per gallon less than diesel.

The district had G. Davis do complete test runs last Tuesday, said Galicki, giving parents a chance to to see the buses and meet the drivers. Palfey said the morning run Tuesday went well, with only a few minor glitches that were quickly xed using the districts own small eet of minibuses. I think it worked out very well this morning, Galicki said.

BILL OBOYLE

Ward

Felton

WILKES-BARRE Ron Felton was an impressionable 10-year-old when he heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream speech. I just got home from school and I was headed to the kitchen, my favorite place, Felton said. I heard this man speaking and it mesmerized me. I wanted to hear what he was saying. Felton, longtime president of the Wilkes-Barre chapter of the NAACP, will re-enact the speech that King delivered in 1963 at the Lincoln Monument in Washington, D.C., during a program commemorating the 50th anniversary of the speech Thursday on the Kings College campus. The event is intended to be a revitalization of our communitys

commitment to the development of a passionate nation of liberty, said Nathan Ward, who also was inspired by King, even though the civil rights leader died about a decade before Ward was born. Ward is director of college diversity at Kings. The public program will start at 6:30 p.m. on the third floor of the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center. Felton and Ward offer similar perspectives on King, his speeches and his dream. I remember thinking after listening to the speech, How could people treat us like they do after hearing this man speak? He was so inspiring, Felton said. I can still feel it and I try to put his passion into the speech when I re-enact it. Felton and Ward said much has happened since Kings speech and

has worked at Kings College for four years. Ward has read Kings speeches and he has studied his work. He has made me more cognizant that we still have work to do to create an inclusive community, a community that values all of its members, he said. Ward said King preached love and appreciation for all people, but 50 years after the famous speech, Ward said, King would probably be dismayed that there is still a lot of undercover hatred in our community. Im sure Dr. King would want us all to live in harmony, Ward said. Felton said Dr. King had a dream, but he was anything but a dreamer. He was a man of action. It was his action that resulted in his ability to move a large number of people and inspire them. Felton believes most people would like to see Kings dream realized, he said. Weve made some substantial improvement, he said. But we have to keep going.

I nve s t i gat o rs served a search warrant at Shultzs residence on Tuesday, nding a desktop computer in the living room, they said. A Shultz review of the hard drive allegedly showed nine pictures and one three-minute video of children engaged in sex acts, according to the criminal complaint. Shultz admitted to investigators he downloaded a le sharing program for the purpose of downloading music and adult and child pornography, the complaint states. Shultz told investigators he used certain words to search for child pornography because he was curious and liked looking at them, according to the complaint. Shultz was arraigned by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on 14 counts of child pornography, three counts of dissemination of photos and/or lm of children engaged in sex acts and a single count of criminal use of communication facility. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $250,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Sept. 5 before District Judge David Barilla.

Police allege Collier went to Nimrod Haven Sporting Goods on the Sans Souci Parkway on June 6 and signed forms for the state police and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives while attempting to purchase a handgun. An instant check system showed Collier was not able to purchase or own a rearm and was denied the purchase, police said.

IN BRIEF

Maj. Nidal Hasan did not call witnesses or testify during his trials penalty phase
The Associated Press

Fort Hood killer puts life in jurys hands


more than 30 people at the Texas military base. With the jurors gone, the judge asked Hasan more than two dozen questions in rapid re, afrming that he knew what he was doing. His answers were succinct and just as rapid. It is my personal decision, he said. It is free and voluntary. His decision came shortly after emotional testimony from more than a dozen widows, mothers, fathers, children and other relatives of those killed in the attack. Prosecutors hope the testimony helps convince jurors to hand down a rare military death sentence. Hasan is acting as his own attorney but has put up nearly no defense since the trial began three weeks ago. He also called no witnesses and didnt testify in his own defense before he was convicted, and he questioned only three of prosecutors nearly 90 witnesses. Although he gave a brief opening statement, during which he acknowledged that the evidence would show he was the shooter, he gave no closing argument. But through news media leaks and statements to the judge, the American-born Muslim appeared to justify the attack as a way to protect Islamic leaders from U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hasan released a report to the media during the trial that showed he told military mental health workers after the attack that he believed he could still be a martyr if convicted and executed by the government. Prosecutors want Hasan to

Crews gaining on Yosemite fires Television reporter Joe Fryer walks away Tuesday from the Rim Fire burning near Yosemite National Park, Calif. Firefighters gained some ground against the huge wildfire burning forest lands in the western Sierra Nevada. The 11-day-old blaze expanded to about 280 square miles, partly due to back burning by crews, but containment jumped to 20 percent.

FORT HOOD, Texas The Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood decided not to call witnesses or testify Tuesday during his trials penalty phase, which is his last chance to plead for his life before the jury begins deliberating whether to sentence him to death. Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is acting as his own attorney, told the judge he was resting his case without submitting evidence, calling witnesses or testifying in his own defense. The judge then dismissed the jury until closing arguments this morning. The same military jury convicted him last week for the November 2009 shooting rampage, which also wounded

join just ve other U.S. service members currently on military death row. The jury of 13 military ofcers must be unanimous for such a death sentence, and prosecutors must prove an aggravating factor and present evidence to show the severity of Hasans crimes.

No American soldier has been executed since 1961. Many military death row inmates have had their sentences overturned on appeal, which are automatic when jurors vote for the death penalty. The president also must eventually approve a military death sentence.

Police crack down on dog fighting


An investigation into organized dog fighting and gambling in the Southeast resulted in 12 arrests and the seizure of 367 pit bulls in one of the nations largest crackdowns on the bloody exhibitions. Federal, state and local officials announced the arrests Monday. They stemmed from raids Friday on homes in Alabama and Georgia and the seizure of more than $500,000 in cash that investigators believe was tied to illegal gambling on dog fights. Court-appointed attorneys for some of the defendants said they plan to plead not guilty at an arraignment Wednesday.

Mystery shipwreck finally identified

The hulking wreck has been a regular destination for divers but a riddle to historians: What ship came to rest in 85 feet of water 10 miles off New Jerseys coastline? Now, federal officials have an answer. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday that it has confirmed that the ship is the Robert J. Walker, an iron-hulled steamer doing mapping work for the U.S. Coast Survey that sank on June 21, 1860, after a violent collision with a 250-ton schooner. Twenty sailors aboard the Walker died. The wreck was discovered by fishermen in the 1970s but its identity was a mystery until June.

Young lung recipient returns home


A Pennsylvania girl whose need for new lungs sparked a national debate on how transplant recipients are prioritized was released from the hospital Tuesday. Sarah Murnaghan, who turned 11 on Aug. 7, was discharged from The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and later carried into her familys Newtown Square home, where the entrance was festooned with balloons and a big sign saying Welcome Home, Sarah! Sarah received two sets of lungs this summer as she struggles with the effects of end-stage cystic fibrosis. Her mother, Janet Murnaghan, said in a Facebook post late Monday that she and her daughter had cried tears of joy.

Schools lose taste for healthy lunches


Some districts rejecting federal program because its a money-loser for cafeterias
CAROLYN THOMPSON
Associated Press

WASHINGTON Government agents in 74 countries demanded information on about 38,000 Facebook users in the rst half of this year, with about half the orders coming from authorities in the United States, the company said Tuesday. The social-networking giant is the latest technology company to release gures on how often governments seek information about its customers. Microsoft and Google have done the same. As with the other companies, its hard to discern much from Facebooks data, besides the fact that, as users around the globe ocked to the worlds largest social network, police and intelligence agencies followed. Facebook and Twitter have become organizing platforms for activists and, as such, have become targets for governments. During anti-government protests in Turkey in May and June, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called social media the worst menace to society. At the time, Facebook denied it provided information about protest organizers to the Turkish government. Data released Tuesday show authorities in Turkey

submitted 96 requests covering 173 users. Facebook said it provided some information in about 45 of those cases, but theres no information on what was turned over and why. We ght many of these requests, pushing back when we nd legal deciencies and narrowing the scope of overly broad or vague requests, Colin Stretch, Facebooks general counsel company said in a blog post. When we are required to comply with a particular request, we frequently share only basic user information, such as name. Facebook spokeswoman Sarah Feinberg said the company stands by its assertions that it gave no information regarding the Turkey protests. The data included in the report related to Turkey is about child endangerment and emergency law enforcement requests, she said. Facebook and other technology companies have been criticized for helping the National Security Agency secretly collect data on customers. Federal law gives government the authority to demand data without specic warrants, and while companies can ght requests in secret court hearings, its an uphill battle. Facebook turned over some data in response to about 60 percent of those requests.

DETROIT

Man pleads guilty to disinterring dad


A man accused of stealing his fathers body from a Detroit cemetery with the hope of bringing him back to life has pleaded guilty in exchange for avoiding prison. Vincent Bright pleaded guilty Monday to a charge of disinterring a body. Defense lawyer Gerald Karafa says Bright will get probation. Police say the then-48-yearold stole the body of 93-year-old Clarence Bright from Gethsemane Cemetery on Jan. 14 and stored it in a home freezer, hoping for a resurrection.

After only one year, some schools around the country are dropping out of the healthier new federal lunch program, complaining that so many students turned up their noses at meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables that the cafeterias were losing money. Federal ofcials say they dont have exact numbers but have seen isolated reports of schools cutting ties with the $11 billion National School Lunch Program, which reimburses schools for meals served and gives them access to lowerpriced food. Districts that rejected the program say the reimbursement was not enough to offset losses from students who began avoid-

ing the lunch line and bringing food from home or, in some cases, going hungry. Some of the stuff we had to offer, they wouldnt eat, said Catlin, Ill., Superintendent Gary Lewis, whose district saw a 10 to 12 percent drop in lunch sales, translating to $30,000 lost under the program last year. So you sit there and watch the kids, and you know theyre hungry at the end of the day, and that led to some behavior and some lack of attentiveness. In upstate New York, a few districts have quit the program, including the Schenectady-area Burnt Hills Ballston Lake system, whose ve lunchrooms ended the year $100,000 in the red. Near Albany, Voorheesville Superintendent Teresa Thayer Snyder said her district lost

$30,000 in the rst three months. The program didnt even make it through the school year after students repeatedly complained about the small portions and apples and pears went from the tray to the trash untouched. Districts that leave the pro-

gram are free to develop their own guidelines. Voorheesvilles chef began serving such dishes as salad topped with ank steak and crumbled cheese, pasta with chicken and mushrooms, and a panini with chicken, red peppers and cheese. In Catlin, soups and sh

sticks will return to the menu this year, and the hamburger lunch will come with yogurt and a banana not one or the other, like last year. Nationally, about 31 million students participated in the guidelines that took effect last fall under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Dr. Janey Thornton, deputy undersecretary for USDAs Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, which oversees the program, said she is aware of reports of districts quitting but is still optimistic about the programs long-term prospects. Many of these children have never seen or tasted some of the fruits and vegetables that are being served before, and it takes a while to adapt and learn, she said. The agency had not determined how many districts have dropped out, Thornton said, cautioning that the numbers that have threatened to drop and the ones that actually have dropped are quite different.

When he arrived at this house, he heard his father, Vincent Graham, speaking to his grandmother and then his father came into his bedroom. Vincent Graham told his son he had to leave and began to push him out of the room and down the stairs. Family members separated the two men, and Gerard Graham retrieved belongings from his room before leaving. Later that night at Gerard Grahams sisters home, Vincent Graham showed up and was pushing Gerard Grahams little sister. Gerard Graham intervened, and Vincent Graham started swinging at his son. The two men broke apart, and Vincent Graham returned, further assaulting his son, the criminal complaint states. Gerard Graham suffered three puncture wounds to his stomach, side and his back.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE An Avoca man charged with sexually assaulting two teenage girls was sentenced Tuesday to 22 to 44 months in state prison as well as two years of special probation. Anthony Veina, 24, of Main Street, was sentenced on charges of aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault. Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni ordered Veina to have no unsupervised contact with minors and to comply with sex offender treatment. Veina pleaded guilty to the charges in March. Veina will be required to register his address under Megans Law for his entire life and must undergo an evaluation by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board. According to court papers, police said they were notied in August 2012 that Veina was involved in inappropriate behavior with two girls, ages 13 and 14. WILKES-BARRE A city man serving 14 years of probation on possession of child pornography charges violated the terms of his probation, according to court papers led Tuesday. Gregory Fann, 50, of Maple Lane, was sentenced in September 2012 to the lengthy probationary term 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 unsupervised contact with minors, according to the probation violation led Tuesday. Fann went to New Jersey for the weekend of Aug. 9 and had unsupervised contact with his granddaughter, according to the ling. A hearing on the matter was scheduled for Sept. 12. WILKES-BARRE A Hazleton man charged with taking several items from three area stores and with a long history of committing retail theft was sentenced Tuesday to nine to 18 months in county prison. Julio Cuevas, 46, of East Holly Street, was sentenced on the three charges by county Judge David Lupas. Cuevas has a lengthy criminal history involving nearly half a dozen other retail thefts, and in the past Cuevas, originally of Puerto Rico, has been given a number of chances to better himself, Lupas said. Cuevas received 96 days credit and cannot enter any of the stores from which he removed items. Cuevas was immediately taken to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility after Tuesdays sentencing to begin serving his sentence. According to court papers, Cuevas entered the Ollies Bargain Outlet on Church Street in Hazleton during June 2011 and attempted to remove six pairs of jeans. On Christmas Eve 2011, Hazleton state police said, Cuevas entered the CVS
All Peridot Jewelry in August

Pharmacy on Church Street and attempted to leave with DVD players. On Jan. 10, state police again were involved in an

incident with Cuevas, who attempted to remove clothing from the Kmart department store at the Laurel Mall in Hazle Township.

Bertha Dreese of Sunbury was found guilty Tuesday of involuntary manslaughter and related counts in the October 2010 death of 1-year-old Aneela Loner.

Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh Valley, sounded off on all three topics Tuesday when he met with the Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce.

Look, I think we all can agree there needs to be an appropriate level of regulation. We all want clean air. We all want clean water I think this administrations just gone way overboard. Veto Barziloski, owner of Tunkhannocks Bennies Nurseries Inc. and a former Tunkhannock Area School Board member, was concerned that state and federal mandates impede progress not only in business, but also how children learn. The Pennsylvania State Education Association, the teachers union, has too much state and federal support in its ght for incentive pay, he said. Any professional deserves their pay, Barziloski said, but he said protracted negotiations and the unions consistent refusal to budge on issues makes running a school district difcult. New economic conditions call for compromise on both sides, Barziloski said. Tax reform I happen to think the income tax code is completely indefensible, Toomey said. On the individual side, our Democratic friends have been very up front. If you touch the tax code, you have to raise taxes or theyre not interested, Toomey said. Tax reform for U.S. businesses an effort to lower rates that are the highest in the industrialized world is something on which both sides of the aisle can agree. But, Toomey said, after a conversation with President Barack Obama, he thinks Democrats seem to be sitting on their hands.

PITTSBURGH A western Pennsylvania woman pleaded guilty to fraud Tuesday in what federal prosecutors say was a $2 million scheme to sell phony magazine subscriptions door-to-door using sob stories claiming the sales beneted the military, childrens hospitals, single mothers or ex-cons looking to turn over a new leaf. Lahron Buchanan, 32, of Pittsburgh, must return to U.S. District Court Dec. 3 when she faces up to 20 years in prison. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nelson Cohen told the judge that Buchanan is responsible for up to $400,000 of more than $2 million stolen from

thousands of customers in western Pennsylvania, Washington, Texas and Arizona between February 2007 and February 2011. U.S. Postal Inspectors contend the scam was the brainchild of Samuel Cole, a Pittsburgh man and father of Buchanans child, who began business as New Image Consultants Inc. then changed names and locations to remain a step ahead of law enforcement, also operating as Fresh Start Opportunities in Seattle in 2008 and Destiny Sales Inc. of Dallas and West Memphis, Ark., beginning in 2009. Cohen told the judge Cole, 44, recruited crews of workers who were sometimes housed in local motels and given unspecied compensation to sell the magazines, ultimately swindling more than 21,000 customers. Buchanan started out selling the magazines, and later kept track of the companies paperwork as part of the scheme, Cohen said. Shes not responsible for the entire scheme and shes not the primary person in the scheme, Cohen told Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice Cohill Jr. Buchanan has cooperated with investigators and told them she issued a handful of refunds to wary or unhappy customers, just to keep the scheme from unraveling. But Cohen said investigators found only one instance in which a refund was paid and none in which customers actually received magazines. We couldnt nd any money that was ever paid to a legitimate magazine company, Cohen told the judge. Instead, the money minus whatever overhead was spent to pay or house the crews apparently went to Cole.

GEORGE A. BANAS
Aug. 27, 2013
George A. Banas, 87, of Wyoming Street in the North End section of Wilkes-Barre, passed into eternal life early Tuesday morning following an illness. Born April 20, 1926, in Wilkes-Barre, he was a son to the late Stephen and Sophie (Ungvarsky) Banas. Educated in the city schools, he was a member of the 1944 graduating class of the James M.

OTHER OPINION: COLLEGE COSTS

For new college ideas look to Oregon plan


President Barack Obamas carrot-and stick-approach to making higher education more affordable is a good idea, but it does not address the most signicant problem the precipitous decline in state funding. Nor can he control the income inequality that has been widening dramatically in this country for the last 30 years, making it far more difcult for low- and middle-income families to afford to send their kids to public colleges and universities. Mr. Obama made a bus tour Thursday and Friday across New York and Pennsylvania to promote his higher education reform plan. It is intended to push down rising costs and to deliver more quality for students and families. His plan includes more federal oversight of costs that colleges charge students. He suggested penalizing colleges that allow tuition to rise by giving them less federal aid for their students. Colleges that hold down tuition costs would get more of the money. Mr. Obama also proposed a ranking system that will include measurements such as student debt, default, on-time graduation, salary achievement after graduation and the number of lowincome students who graduate using Pell Grants. He wants to expand eligibility in the Pay as You Earn program, which caps student debt repayment at 10 percent of discretionary monthly income for lowincome graduates. These are good ideas and show the presidents commitment to what he says is a personal mission to make higher education more affordable. It will be interesting to see whether universities are any more open to cost-and-results transparency than hospitals are. But states need to do their part to help students and families afford to receive educations at public colleges and universities. The College Board, a nonprot organization, says the cost of college for in-state students at four-year public universities has increased 257 percent in the past 30 years. This hasnt affected the top 1 percent income bracket; theyve seen their incomes rise 275 percent in in the same 30 years. But the bottom fth on the income ladder has seen their incomes rise by only 20 percent, according to a 2011 study from the Congressional Budget Ofce. The president should take his bus to Oregon. There the legislature last month adopted a at-tax loan plan for graduates of in-state public universities. Kids go to school for free, and then pay 3 percent of their annual earnings for 25 years after they graduate. Community colleges graduates would pay back 1.5 percent of their income annually. Students who attend school for less time would pay a pro-rated amount. The plan does not require students to pay tuition upfront, which means they would not have to take out traditional loans and incur the corresponding debt. Critics of the plan point out that it penalizes students with higher earnings potential, and that it might encourage some students who would major in more difcult subjects to go to private colleges or to out-of-state schools. Wealthy parents also could look elsewhere for their childrens educational needs, and, as a result bring down the overall quality of the states public higher education institutions. But the benets would far outweigh the problems. Enabling kids who may have bleak futures to get a quality education benets not only the students and their families, but society at large. These students will have an opportunity to become productive members of society. Creativity should not be Oregons province alone St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Kings dream not fully realized


On Aug. 28, 1963, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have A Dream speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was the dening moment of the American Civil Rights movement. While his prophetic words continue to stir the nation half a century later, his vision has yet to be fully realized. To be sure, King would be happy that a black man has been elected president of the United States. He would be pleased that the arts, sciences, politics, sports and many other careers previously dominated by white males have opened William their doors to blacks. Kashatus And he would be pleased Contributing with the emergence of a Columnist signicant black middleclass. At the same time, King would be disappointed that the American Dream of economic prosperity and educational opportunity has not been extended as fully to minorities. The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity, he said in his historic speech. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. For King, America had defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color (were) concerned. Instead of honoring a sacred obligation America had given minorities a bad check, a check which (had) come back marked insufcient funds. He refused to believe that the bank of justice (was) bankrupt or that there were the brunt of the housing market collapse (California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona) taking an outsized toll on Hispanic family wealth. For King, economic equality was closely tied to educational opportunity. He believed that education was essential to narrowing the signicant wealth gap between the races as it resulted in economic and social mobility. Instead, race discrimination eliminated educational opportunity for blacks, condemning them to a life of poverty or crime. Part of Kings dream was that black children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Half a century later, when African and Hispanic Americans are targets of racial proling, police brutality and discriminatory hiring practices, its difcult to believe that they are judged by the content of their character. Just as difcult to accept is the fact that in a society that values education, African-American boys and African-American girls are typically undereducated and ill prepared to become productive members of society. In fact, black male students are twice as likely to drop out of high school, and their math, reading and basic skills scores are consistently much lower than their white male counterparts As King said in his I Have a Dream speech that summer day 50 years ago, we all have to realize that our destinies are tied together: We cannot walk alone. Until white America and the power structures that govern it embrace this fact, Kings dream will go unfullled.

COMMENTARY: WILLIAM KASHATUS

OTHER OPINION: AREA 51

A CIA document describes it as a strip of wasteland. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower added it to the Nevada Test Site, a nuclear-weapons proving ground within the Air Forces vast desert holdings north of Las Vegas. For the next half-century and more, a librarys worth of fact and ction attached to this patch of scorched earth next to a salt at called Groom Lake. But the U.S. government refused to admit that it even existed. There were close calls, though. Responding to a lawsuit brought by workers allegedly poisoned at the site, Bill Clinton issued an ofcial presidential determination that laws requiring hazardous-waste disclosures do not apply to the Air Forces operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada. Legal scholar Jonathan Turley, who represented the workers, recalled in the Los Angeles Times last week that a military lawyer insisted, There is no name for the operating location near Groom Lake. In fact, it has many names: Homey Airport, Paradise Ranch (so branded to comfort Lockheed employees headed there), Dreamland (whence the title of an X-Files two-parter), and, of course, Area 51. Now the government has dared speak that name for the rst time. Thanks to the persistent efforts of the National Security Archives Jeffrey Richelson, the CIA released a new, less redacted version of an internal history of two Cold

Secret for secrecy sake is worse than rumors

War spy-plane programs that, it reveals, underwent testing at Area 51. Researchers had already pieced together much of this history of the Ranch. Writers and theorists imagined far more, including a secret holding area for extraterrestrial ships or beings. Tests of high-ying, largely unknown aircraft at Area 51 could provide the simplest explanation for the UFO sightings and lore that came to ll the information void. But the governments belated disclosure wont restore much of the credibility it lost through decades of obfuscation. No doubt secrecy was warranted at the height of the Cold War. But three or four decades later? Even the old communist organ Pravda scoffed last week at news of the open secret of Area 51. So why did the government try to keep that secret for so long? As Richelson put it mildly to the BBC, There is a general inclination toward secrecy. Indeed, as we keep learning in this age of mass government data collection, state-sponsored skulduggery has a way of gathering momentum well beyond its original, sometimes justiable purposes. In the case that provoked Clintons Groom Lake pronouncement, for example, the government seized on secrecy to fend off apparently legitimate complaints about worker safety. Such banal authoritarianism makes one long for ying saucers and little green men. The Philadelphia Inquirer

insufcient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. But 50 years later, economic inequality and a lack of nancial progress among minorities suggest that Kings dream is unfullled. Although the economic downturn of the last decade has taken a toll on all Americans, it has hit nonwhites especially hard, exacerbating the income and wealth gap. A recent report from Pew Research Center revealed a 53 percent decline in total wealth for black families from 2005 to 2009 a period in which wealth in white households declined by a more modest 16 percent. The differences in overall dollar amounts are more glaring. The average white household has wealth (assets minus debts) totaling $113,149 compared with total wealth of only $5,677 in the typical African-American household. Those very large gaps are not new. Four years before, approaching the peak of the housing boom, the typical white household was worth $134,922 and the typical black household $12,124. Total wealth in Hispanic households has suffered even more, down 66 percent from 2005 to 2009. The Pew report identies the disproportionate number of Hispanics living in states that suffered

Pennsylvania produces nearly 10 percent of the nations natural gas, and shale supports nearly 240,000 jobs statewide. Nationally, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data, while U.S. private sector employment has grown roughly 1 percent from 2007 through 2012, oil and natural gas employment has expanded by 40 percent. As Sen. Robert Casey recently said, Developing natural gas will allow Pennsylvania to take control of its energy and economic destiny. He is absolutely right. In your travels, Mr. President, we have condence that you will continue to recognize how responsible shale development is helping families, our nation and our environment. Lets work together to get it right.
CEO, Marcellus Shale Coalition

With President Obama visiting the region last week to talk about the economy, his positive remarks about safe natural gas development come immediately to mind. We should strengthen our position as the top natural gas producer, the president said in June, adding: The bottom line is natural gas is creating jobs. Its lowering many families heat and power bills. Isnt that what every Pennsylvania family is looking for right now? And for those who have seen economic hard times in many parts of the state during our lifetimes, the opportunities that come with shale development cleaner air, more jobs, especially in our manufacturing sector, and enhanced energy security are a blessing. We must continue to work together to get this historic opportunity

Syria
From page 1A It is unlikely that any international military action would begin before then. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. military forces stand ready to strike Syria at once if President Barack Obama gives the order, and French President Francois Hollande said France was ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents. Obama is weighing a response focused narrowly on punishing Assad for violating international agreements that ban the use of chemical weapons. Ofcials said the goal was not to drive Assad from power or impact the broader trajectory of Syrias bloody civil war, now in its third year. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday the West should be under no illusion that bombing Syrian military targets would help end the violence in Syria, an ally of Moscow, and he pointed to the volatile situations in Iraq and Libya that he said resulted from foreign military intervention. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said his country would use all means available to defend itself. We have the means to defend ourselves and we will surprise everyone, he said. At a news conference in Damascus, al-Moallem challenged Washington to

Controller
From page 1A by Walter Grifth, who resigned as controller without explanation after he was charged with felony wiretapping earlier this year. Grifth said he listened to interviews of the controller candidates last week, and the only (candidate) who I think is qualied to hold the interim position is Carolee Medico, after noting that there has been violation after violation after violation of the county charter. Grifth called Medico Olenginski the only person who will hold the county manager accountable because that job takes a lot of guts, it takes a lot of integrity and it takes a lot of ability to watch whats going on in this county. No one is watching the store now. In addition to Mitchell and Olenginski Medico, the following Republicans applied for the spot: Michael Caravaggio, Mountain Top; Aaron Kaufer, Kingston; John Sokolowski, Plains Township; Peter Gagliardi, Wilkes-Barre; and Malcolm Hudgeon, Wilkes-Barre. Prior to the vote, Brominski nominated Medico Olenginski, Eugene Kelleher nominated Kaufer, Linda McClosky Houck nominated Sokolowski and

MITCHELL BIO
Age: 69 From: Bear Creek Village Education: Bachelors degree in American studies from Lafayette College; completed masters level courses in accounting, taxation and financial planning at American College. Experience: Mayor of Bear Creek Village since the borough was formed in 1993; owner/operator of Mitchell Financial Group, an insurance and financial and estate planning firm, for 36 years. Personal: Married 31 years to the former Connie Chock. The couple has two sons and six grandchildren. Rick Williams nominated Mitchell. Houcks nomination was the only to not receive a second. After the vote, Brominski said he thought appointing Mitchell would violate the county charter because the charter states that the controller and the district attorney cannot seek any other ofce while seated in that position. The deadline date for withdrawing as a candidate was Aug. 18, and Mitchell missed that deadline, so he is on the November ballot for Bear Creek Village mayor, Brominski said. I do not believe in good faith with the charter that he can serve. Solicitor C. David Pedri said he disagrees. He said the charter states that no district attorney or controller shall le a petition for nomination or election or become a candidate for any elected ofce. It doesnt say run for ofce, Pedri said. Mitchell did not attend the meeting. Reached by phone afterward, he said he was honored and humbled that council would see my application for the interim position as a positive for the county and Im very anxious to go right to work. Mitchell said he planned to resign as Bear Creek Village mayor effective midnight today. And he said there are several major items of interest that need to be attended to after he takes the oath of ofce for controller at 9 a.m. Thursday, not the least of which is hiring an additional staff person to help with our year-end audit. Mitchell said he will probably suggest leaving the deputy controller position open out of respect for the controller who will be elected in November. Mitchell also said he looks forward to meeting my fellow ofce employees over the next few days. I

They have a history of lies Iraq, he said. Vice President Joe Biden said there was no question that Assad was responsible for the attack the highest-ranking U.S. ofcial to say so and the White House dismissed as fanciful the notion that anyone other than Assad could be to blame. Suggestions that theres any doubt about whos responsible for this are as preposterous as a suggestion that the attack did not occur, spokesman Jay Carney said.

The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed, and witness accounts. The ofcials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations. The United Nations said its team of chemical weapons experts in Syria had delayed a second trip to investigate the alleged attack by one day for security reasons. On Monday, the team came under sniper re. If Obama decides to order an attack against Syria, it would most likely involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military and communications targets.

hope they will stop by and introduce themselves so he can let them know Im not a re breathing dragon and Im there for the benet of the taxpayers, and everyone who works for the county is typically a taxpayer. Mitchell previously had said he would not go through with his quest to be on the Republican ticket for controller in the November general election. Mitchell owns Mitchell Financial Group, a consulting rm, and he would have to shut it down if he were installed as controller, according to the Luzerne County home rule charter. Medico Olenginski, elected to the county prothonotary post in 1997 and 2009, will face Democrat Michelle Bednar on Nov. 5 for the controller seat. In other business, council: approved dispensing $600,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds to the county Housing Authority towards a townhouse project for the elderly in Plains Township at the site of the former Sacred Heart Church property. approved an additional $62,577 in funding for nal plans on two bridge projects one on South Main Street over Tobys Creek, the other on Hillside Drive in Kingston Township.

Simpson
From page 1A Hills management on Tuesday to recommend measures that will improve the security conditions of the complex. While the details of the meeting cannot be disclosed, the citys recommendations were standard and effective strategies to improve safety and security for Sherman Hills residents, Prokop added. What Leighton might think about Simpsons early political challenge or even his own electoral future was not clear on Tuesday. Asked whether Leighton would like to respond to Simpsons candidacy and remarks, Prokop said the mayor would not be available for an interview later that day. Simpson discussed his political plans with The Times Leader in a Tuesday afternoon interview at Madison and East North streets, near the spot where a Kings College student reportedly was beaten and robbed of his mobile phone by a group of young men early Friday. Simpson unsuccessfully ran for Luzerne County Council in 2011 and served briey on the countys new ethics commission. He resigned from the post in April 2012 following a procedural dispute with fellow commission member and county Controller Walter Grifth during development of an ethics code. If problems at Sherman Hills and other rental properties werent bad enough, Simpson said, he fears that attacks on students and others downtown will damage the citys reputation among potential collegians and their families, putting one of Wilkes-Barres growth industries at risk. If elected mayor, Simpson said he would play an active role in overseeing the police department, adding that he would expect his chief to be present at major crime scenes, as he likely would be himself. Simpson has many friends and sources in the local law-enforcement community with whom he regularly discusses the state of policing in the city, he said, but declined to name names. Among their revelations, he said, is that the administration under-reports certain categories of violent crime. By law, departments throughout the state must submit data to the state police for compilation in the Uniform Crime Reporting System; those statistics are then provided to the FBI for a national perspective on crime. Simpson alleges the city has downplayed the true extent of violence by classifying some shootings as assaults. While tackling illegal drug activity and violence are Simpsons main goals, he also believes that the nation is gradually moving toward legalization of marijuana; he feels police spend too much time pursuing possession charges for relatively small amounts. As for marijuana dealers, he would direct ofcers to pursue them as ardently as dealers and users of all other illicit substances. As for the Sherman Hills community, Simpson suggested putting gates around the property and requiring passes for visitors, who would not be permitted to stay overnight. In addition to promoting his law-and-order platform, Simpson said he wanted to get an early start in the campaign for two other reasons. First, he knows it will take work to raise campaign funds on a par with those a three-term incumbent such as Leighton likely can draw upon. He did say, however, that he would forego the $80,000, if elected, and put that money toward policing, as his federal pension allows him to support himself. Second, Simpson wants voters to know from the start that he is openly gay, hearing the message from him and not the rumor mill. Im 60 years old and I dont give a damn anymore what people think, said Simpson. I am going to be a mayor for all the people not a gay mayor, but a mayor who is gay.

Beer
From page 1A The giveaway began around Memorial Day and enabled the lowest level of Players Card holder to enjoy what those with the two higher tiered cards Elite and Sagamore were already entitled. Elite and Sagamore card holders also are entitled to free bottled beer, wine and liquor, something Mohegan Suns lowest tiered card holders are not. At the time, casino President and General Manager Mike Bean said the promotion was temporary. But after three months of data showed how well the free beer was able to bring people in to the casinos doors, the decision was made to extend the deal. We listened to our guests, said Bean. The feedback we received was so good it made sense to keep it going. From May 1 to Aug. 26, the casino has given away 178,000 beers to card holders, Bean said. Thats a 151 percent increase from the amount of free beer distributed in the same time span last year. Mohegan might have been the states rst casino, but it wasnt the rst to offer free beer to all guests. Forty miles away at Mount Airy Casino near Mount Pocono, the free draft beer and wine started being offered to all players in 2010. Liquor and bottled beers must be purchased. At Sands Bethlehem, the states top casino in terms of revenue, draft beer, mixed drinks and wine are provided to all players for free. Bottled beer can be purchased. And at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, those who hold player cards in the top two tiers of the four-tier system are entitled to free alcoholic beverages. The bottomtwo tier cards are not. Other casinos offer varying degrees of free liquor and beer.

Facebook
From page 1A stated Liza Prokop, city spokeswoman, in an email on Tuesday. Police opened the Facebook page on Monday and immediately posted a few releases relating to drug arrests from a residence on South Welles Street, a burglary in the 300 block of East Northampton Street and the arrests of ve people on separate drug offenses. The page as of Tuesday afternoon had received more than 3,600 likes since its inception. Prokop said the page will likely be updated once a day. This page is the ofcial page of the Wilkes-Barre City Police Department, please dont post to this page as it is for informational purposes only. If you have an emergency call 911. Any questions contact the Police Department by phone at 570.208.4200, the information label says. I think it is wonderful; people are actually going to know what is going on, said Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch Coalition coordinator Charlotte Raup. Wilkes-Barre police join a growing number of area police departments on social media. Police in Duryea, Forty Fort, Larksville and WilkesBarre Township have active Facebook pages, including crime watch coalitions in Ashley, Hanover Township and Wilkes-Barre.

Yes, Bill OBrien has himself a starting quarterback. No, hes not going to spoil the surprise. Everyone will just have to wait until Saturday to nd out. The second-year Penn State coach red a pre-emptive strike at his season-opening press conference on Tuesday. Before any questions were asked, OBrien announced that, well, there was no announcement to make. Christian Hackenberg and Tyler Ferguson are both expected to see the eld in the opener against Syracuse. But as for

who will be under center just after kickoff? Youll nd out who the quarterback is on the rst play of the game against Syracuse, OBrien said. Believe me, Im not trying to diminish the importance of that position and what it means to this football program and what it means to our fans. But

I want to do whats best for our players and whats best for our football team, and so thats what Im going to do on that. OBrien then promised he would be brief when answering any questions about the starting job. Indeed, when asked about it later just to clarify, OBrien responded in kind. Just to clarify, he said, youll nd out who the starting quarterback is on the rst offensive play on Saturday. Fair enough. Based on practice reports, the momentum seems to favor Hackenberg getting the nod

Misericordia University running back Oluwatosin Adeyemo, right, takes a handoff from quarterback Ryan Kurtz during practice in Dallas.

Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader

DALLAS The second season of football at Misericordia University will be made memorable by the schools rst victory. The Cougars can see it. They can sense it. I truly believe that, quarterback Jeff Puckett said. Now all they have to do is accomplish it. That might be easier said than done. During its rst season of football, the Cougars lost all 10 of their games by an average of 46.2 points. They surrendered surrendered an average of 51.6 points, averaged 5.4 and were shut out during their last two games. Misericordia was ahead just once all season, taking an early 6-0 lead against Wilkes in a game the Cougars dropped 45-13. The closest they came to victory was during a 35-7 defeat to Stevenson midway through the 2012 season. Sure, I knew what we were facing, said Misericordia coach Mark Ross, who took on the tall task of building a football program from scratch last season. Im not completely unrealistic. But at the same time, if we dont set a high bar, I dont know if were ever going to get where we want to be. Thats why he came in talking about winning every game during a season where his Cougars lost big in every one. But Misericordias big dreams still remain.

If you dont put high expectations on it Ross said, when Gary Barnett took over at Northwestern, he said, Were taking the purple to Pasadena (for the Rose Bowl), and people looked at him like he was crazy. Four years later, they were there. John F. Kennedy sent a space ship to the moon. The Cougars look forward to doing some moonwalking of their own, and they expect that glee will come as soon as this season. Im excited for the day when the clocks going to say 0:00 and we got one more (points) than they did, Ross said. Were going to try to get that, Puckett said. See COUGARS | 7B

Pirates acquire pair from Mets, DFA Canzler


From staff and wire reports

Federer off to good start; Duval pulls off big upset


HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Tennis Writer

PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired outelder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, hoping the veterans can bolster a struggling offense as the franchise vies for its rst playoff berth in 21 years. The Pirates, who began the day a half-game back of St. Louis for the lead in the NL Central, sent the Mets minor league inelder Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later in exchange for Byrd, Buck and cash considerations. Byrd, 35, is hitting .285 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs this season and will give Pittsburgh needed depth in the outeld while leadoff hitter Starling Marte recovers from a wrist injury. Buck, 33, is batting .215 with 15 home runs and 60 RBIs.

Since the beginning of the 2010 season, Bucks 63 home runs as a catcher rank third in the majors. He is expected to back up Russell Martin. Pittsburgh is searching for offense to take some of the pressure off a pitching staff that has carried the team for long stretches during the rst ve months of the season. The Pirates lead the majors with a 3.21 ERA, though there have been signs of wear and tear this month. Pittsburgh is 11-12 in August and has seen a 4-game lead over St. Louis two weeks ago turn into a virtual tie. Byrd has been red hot since the All-Star break, hitting .311 with 11 doubles, three triples, six home runs and 20 RBIs in his last 38 games. His presence should help an offense that is

NEW YORK At this point in his career, Roger Federer recognizes the importance of a little extra work. Thats why the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, and the man who spent more weeks ranked No. 1 than any other, was out there on a U.S. Open practice court late Tuesday afternoon, putting in some training time shortly after nishing off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over 62ndranked Grega Zemlja of Slovenia in the rst round. At 32, at his lowest ranking, No. 7, in more than a decade, coming off a stunningly early exit at the previous major tournament one of a series of newsworthy losses lately Federer is OK with making AP photo some concessions. He insists his Roger Federer, of Switzerland, returns a shot to Grega Zemlja, of Slovenia, dur- passion for tennis is still there. See PIRATES | 3B ing the first round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament Tuesday in New York. Im in a good spot right

now, Federer said. I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts. He made it sound, though, as if it isnt as easy to enjoy things the way his results have been going. Federer entered Tuesday 32-11, a .744 winning percentage that doesnt sound too bad, until you consider his career mark at the start of this season was .816, and hes had years where he went 81-4 (.953) and 92-5 (.948). Hes only won one tournament in 2013, which would be great for some guys, but Federer topped 10 titles three times, and hasnt won fewer than three in any season since 2001. As fan favorite Federer took the rst step toward a possible quarternal meeting with nemesis Rafael Nadal, an unknown teen from the United States made a Grand Slam breakthrough Tuesday.

Soriano reaches home run milestone in Yankees victory over Blue Jays
The Associated Press

TORONTO Alfonso Soriano hit two home runs, Andy Pettitte pitched seven shutout innings, and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 on Tuesday night after losing Robinson Cano in the rst inning. Alex Rodriguez and Mark Reynolds also homered for the Yankees, who won for the 13th time in 15 meetings with Toronto this season. Rodriguez hit a twoout solo shot to center off Esmil Rogers in the seventh, his 651st career home run and second in two games. Rodriguez, who has four home runs this season, is nine away from tying Willie Mays for fourth on the career list. Reaching the milestone would secure a $6 million bonus for the third baseman. Sorianos homers, both of which were hit on the rst pitch, were the 399th and 400th of his career. They were his 27th and 28th this season and 10th and 11th since being traded back to New York from the Chicago Cubs on July 26.

Riders avoid sweep


Stoneburner and Betances hold Pawtucket to just three hits.
The Times Leader staff

PAWTUCKET, R.I. Graham Stoneburner and Dellin Betances combined for a threehitter to lead Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre to a 2-1 victory over Pawtucket on Tuesday at McCoy Stadium. With the win, the RailRiders snapped a three-game losing streak and avoided the sweep. RailRiders Stoneburner (4-5) allowed Red Sox one run and two hits in six innings of work to secure the victory for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Despite a solid outing, one of the two hits Stoneburner allowed was a solo homer to Jeremy Hazelbaker in the bottom of the third to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead. In the top of the sixth, the RailRiders tied the game at 1-1 when Ronnier Mustelier grounded into a fielders choice. Neil Medchill (2 for 4) gave Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre the lead in the top of the seventh on an RBI-single. The inning started with David Adams singled and moved to third when Adonis Garcia (2 for 4) reached on an error to set up Medchills hit giving SWB a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Betances replaced Stoneburner and sealed the game for the RailRiders. Betances allowed one hit and no runs, while striking out four to secure his fifth save of the season. RailRiders catcher J.R. Murphy (2 for 3) didnt allow the Red Sox to advance on the base paths as he caught two runners stealing on the night. The RailRiders return home today to face Lehigh Valley at 7:05 p.m. The season finale at PNC Field will be Thursday night against the IronPigs. Caleb Cotham, who has been the teams best pitcher lately and has an overall record this season of 6-5 with a 4.82 ERA, is set to take the mound for the RailRiders tonight.

ASHBURN, Va. Robert Grifn III could be cleared to play in the regular season when he meets with his surgeon Thursday night. Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Tuesday that Grifn will meet with Dr. James Andrews while the Redskins are in Florida for their nal preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know Dr. Andrews will sit down and evaluate Robert and probably just give us his recommendation, Shanahan said. Even if Andrews gives the thumbs-up, the nal decision on whether

RedskinsRG3 could get OK from doctor on Thursday


Grifn plays in the Sept. 9 opener rests with the coach. Shanahan has said that even if Grifn is medically ready, the coach could see something in practice that might give him pause. Andrews cleared Grifn for practice before the start of training camp but has yet to give the OK for the quarterback to play in games. Andrews examined Grifn again before the Aug. 19 home preseason game and felt very good about Grifns progress, according to Shanahan. While Grifn has sat out the preseason, hes moved well in practice and told ESPN 980 on Tuesday that hes not below 100 percent. Youre hoping hes 100 percent, Shanahan said. The reason Im a little iffy on that is I want to judge him every day. But I have not seen a setback; he looks good. Ive seen much improvement from the rst day to where he is now. Grifn had reconstructive surgery on his right knee in January, a few days after he was hurt in the Redskins playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hes made a remarkable recovery, given the nature of the injury, and has not missed a day of practice. You can see hes in football shape, Shanahan said. And there hasnt been a setback, so everythings been very positive. With backup Kirk Cousins nursing a sprained right foot, the Redskins are again down to two quarterbacks Rex Grossman and Pat White for Thursday. Because Shanahan usually prefers not to play most of his starters and longtime veterans in the nal preseason game, he plans to rest Grossman as well. Pat White will play the entire game, unless he goes down. If he goes down, Rex will go in. If he goes down, Im going AP Photo in, Shanahan said with a Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is expected to be cleared to play when he visits his doctor on laugh. Thursday.

Veteran mentality helps 49er rookie land starting job


SANTA CLARA, Calif. Veteran safety Donte Whitner has insisted all along that rookie Eric Reid possesses the skills and mentality to be a hard-hitting defender. The hope is he can also ll the void left by Dashon Goldsons departure from the San Francisco 49ers in free agency. Apparently, coach Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio agreed. On Tuesday, they said Reid will be the NFC champion Niners starter at free safety for the Sept. 8 season opener against Green Bay at Candlestick Park. And Reid, San Franciscos rst-round draft pick in April, soon heard about the announcement from reporters that he had earned a spot on one of the NFLs top defenses. I feel like a professional football player now, Reid said. Its obviously good news for me. Im just going to keep working hard and try to keep the spot. Ive been running with the 1s the last at all now, Whitner said. Hes a guy, from high school on to college, hes always been a good student and a student of the game. When you put those two in a guy that is willing to work, thats why you win a starting free safety spot on arguably the best defense as a rookie. Its hard to do, and he did it. Fangio offered a pace throughout the offseason and training camp that allowed Reid to grasp the concepts of the defense without becoming overwhelmed while learning more each day. Whitner challenged Reid to lift weights with the veterans at 6:30 a.m. during offseason workouts. Whitner also has handed over duty of making calls for the secondary to Reid for series from time to time. Thats me trying to get him mentally ready, Whitner said. Were not surprised. Ever since Day 1, hes been picking up the system really well. Hes been tremendously physical back there, hes tackling well, communicating well. So, hes showing some veteran already in him.

Tebow sticks with Pats; Packers lose starting RB


The Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tim Tebow has survived the New England Patriots mandatory roster cut to 75 players. The third-string quarterback faces another hurdle when all NFL teams must reduce their rosters on Saturday to the regularseason limit of 53. The Patriots released tight end Evan Landi and defensive lineman Anthony Rashad White, both rookies, on Tuesday. The moves came one day after they cut the roster from 84 to 77 players. Tebow is expected to see considerable playing time Thursday night against the New York Giants in the Patriots nal exhibition game. He played poorly in the rst two games and did not play in the third. Grievance led for Hernandez FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The NFL Players Association has led a grievance to help former New England Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez collect an $82,000 workout bonus. The union says it has a responsibility to protect the rights in the collective bargaining agreement for all players. Hernandezs contract provides for him to receive that amount if he participated in the teams workouts from April to June. The Patriots cut Hernandez after he was arrested on June 26 and before he was charged with murder later that day. He pleaded not guilty in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd and is being held without bail. The union believes Hernandez earned the bonus before his arrest. The team did not respond to a request for comment on the grievance. Packers GREEN BAY, Wis. Packers starting running back DuJuan Harris is out for the year after injuring his right knee last week against the Seahawks. Harris said Tuesday he hurt the patella tendon and hoped to have surgery soon as he heads to injured reserve status. He hurt the same knee during the offseason. The knee appeared to bother Harris after he was ipped over near the sideline by a defender during the 17-10 preseason loss Friday night to Seattle. Coach Mike McCarthy was a big supporter after the running back secured the starting job down the stretch last season with 157 yards and two touchdowns in four games. Harris was signed to the practice squad in October and joined the active roster in December following a slew of injuries in the backeld. But 2013 has been tough without Harris ever seeing a regular season snap. In June, a team physical revealed Harris had a stsized cyst on his lung. It was drained and removed the next day, and Harris returned home the following day. It was the only other time he had undergone surgery in his career. The loss of Harris potentially means more carries for second-round draft pick Eddie Lacy out of Alabama. He and Harris were being counted on to solidify the running game. Eagles PHILADELPHIA The Eagles have waived injured linebacker Phillip Hunt, trimming Philadelphias roster to 75 players as the preseason nale nears. The move was announced ahead of the NFLs roster deadline Tuesday afternoon. Hunt suffered an ACL tear during training camp at the teams headquarters. If he clears waivers on Wednesday, he will return to the Eagles and be placed on injured reserve. Hunt, 27, joined the Eagles in 2011, and gured to have a role in the teams new 3-4 defensive scheme. He was making the transition from defensive end to outside linebacker. Philadelphia will close the preseason on Thursday with a road date against the New York Jets. Giants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz expects to play in the regular-season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. A day after removing the protective boot from his injured left foot, Cruz was upbeat about being ready for the Sept. 8 game. He said the only time his injured heel hurts is when he gets out of bed in the morning. The Giants leading receiver the past two seasons, Cruz was injured Aug. 18 against the Colts when his foot was stepped on by a defender. The Paterson, N.J., native continues to get treatment, including an exercise where he has to pick up marbles with his feet. Cruz missed the third preseason game, vs. the Jets, and will also skip Thursdays exhibition nale at New England. He hopes to practice Monday.

couple days. Thats always been the goal. When Fangio walked through the locker room a few minutes later, Reid said: Whats up, Coach? I heard the news. In response, a smiling Fangio offered, You knew. In 39 career college games with 26 starts over three

seasons for the Tigers, the 6-foot-1, 213-pound Reid nished with 199 tackles, six interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 11 pass breakups and 4 tackles for loss. Just everything weve talked about, hes been good. Hes shown that hes picked up the system fast and played

well in games, Harbaugh said. Its been a nice progression, nice process for him. San Francisco traded up with Dallas to draft the speedy safety with the 18th pick out of Louisiana State, believing all along he would make an immediate impact as a rookie. He doesnt look confused

Whos fastest: ChiefsCharles or RoyalsDyson?


AP Sports Writer

DAVE SKRETTA KANSAS CITY, Mo. The challenge was laid down. All thats keeping Royals outelder Jarrod Dyson and Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles from deciding the fastest man in Kansas City sports is about 300 yards of parking lot between Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium. Probably the folks in charge of their teams, too. The idea of a match race came up when Dyson and a bunch of other Royals dropped in to watch part of a Chiefs practice last week. In his typical bravado, Dyson proclaimed that he could beat any of them in a foot race including Charles, their Pro Ball running back. Im not afraid to race nobody, said Dyson, who had swiped 25 bases in 60 games heading into the Royals game Tuesday night in Minnesota. Ill tell you that straight up. The race is unlikely to ever happen in the city that produced former 100meter world-record holder Maurice Green. Theres too much injury risk to line them up just for fun. Sure is a compelling conversation piece, though. Dyson is the eet-footed basestealer best over shorter distances say, the 90 feet that separates bags on a big league ineld. Charles is the speedy back who excels with a nice runway to get going say, the 100 yards from one end zone to the other. If he puts a show on, Im never going to back down, Charles told The Associated Press after Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles runs during a game against the Colts last December. The challenge has been laid down. All thats separating Kansas City Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson and Charles from deciding the fastest man in Kansas City sports is about 300 yards of parking lot between Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium.

Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson, seen in a spring training game in March, has been challenged to a race by Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles.

afternoons practice, when asked of Dysons challenge. Tracks my rst love. If both of them are up for it, might as well try to assess the most intriguing match race in these parts since Seabiscuit took on War Admiral. Dyson says he doesnt put much stock in 40-yard dashes, but the 5-foot-9, 160-pound sparkplug thinks he could run it in 4.3 seconds. Charles, at 5-11 and nearly 200 pounds, turned a 4.38 when he was clocked at the NFL combine in 2008,

following his senior year with the Longhorns. Dyson isnt as polished a sprinter as Charles, but he certainly has speed to burn. The big league average for a player running from home to rst base is 4.2 seconds for left-handed hitters. Dyson covers the distance nearly a half-second faster. The average time for a good base stealer taking second is about 3.2 seconds. Dyson can do it in about 2.6. Royals manager Ned Yost said

hes denitely the fastest player in the big leagues, and Yost has seen some quick ones. He broke into the big leagues as a player in 1980, and as a coach watched the likes of Otis Nixon and Kenny Lofton No. 15 and No. 16 on the career stolen bases list, respectively when he was an assistant coach with the Atlanta Braves. I dont care if youre a sprinter or whatever, Dyson said, youre not getting past Mr. Zoombiya. Youre going to have to come at me over some distance. Turns out thats precisely where Charles has an advantage. He was a bronze medalist in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2003 world youth championships, and won state titles in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas. Charles took his speed to Austin, where he was an All-American multiple times over for the Longhorns. The former junior Olympian was fourth in the 60 meters at the NCAA indoors in 2006, and fth in the 100 at the outdoors later that summer. Among those who edged Charles in the 100 was Walter Dix, a two-time world silver medalist and two-time Olympic bronze medalist. Even now, Charles lights up when hes asked about his pretty elite track career. He openly thought about returning to it during the NFL lockout a couple years ago. Not pretty elite. I was junior worlds, Charles claried. Its not that Im fast. I have track history. Track is my rst love. Im not going to back down from a race.

NFL to study hits to knees; rule change possible


BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK The NFL will keep a close eye on hits to the knees of defenseless players this season, with the possibility of extending the rules protecting such players. If the leagues competition committee nds enough evidence this season that hits to the knees are becoming a problem, it could

take action, chief of football operations Ray Anderson told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The committee could make a recommendation to the owners next March to prohibit direct hits to the knees of defenseless players. The owners would then vote on such a change. We are always looking at plays that may elevate themselves and we do include in that category

hits on defenseless players, Anderson said. And certainly the hits to knees to players who have not had the opportunity to protect themselves or are not looking in the direction of where the hit comes from we have had a couple hits whereby a player was hit below (or at) the knees. Currently, hits to the head and neck of defenseless players are outlawed. But two direct hits to the knee in pre-

season games that injured Miami tight end Dustin Keller and Minnesota defensive tackle Kevin Williams have drawn complaints from some players. Keller is out for the season with several torn knee ligaments. Williams has a hyperextended knee. Anderson said the league will monitor plays during the year, study the data when the competition committee begins meeting after

the season and see whether such hits to the knees are an aberration or becoming a problem. This issue has not directly come up, Anderson added. But when we have had discussions when making the head and neck area completely off-limits to players, there was some concern players might lower their targets and might include knees and below. We will look at that going forward.

Haas put deal together with Busch on his own


JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. Gene Haas wanted to build a dream team, with an opportunity to see his name in Victory Lane. He

wasnt going to let Tony Stewart stand in his way of making that happen. Haas admitted Tuesday he went rogue in courting Kurt Busch for a nonexistent fourth team at Stewart-Haas Racing while

Stewart was incapacitated with a broken leg earlier this month. When he nally brought his business partner up to speed on his expansion plans, Stewart balked. But Haas forged ahead

anyway with a multi-year offer to Busch, who was introduced Tuesday as the newest driver at SHR, where ofcials are now scrambling to make room at an organization that will double from two cars in 2012 to four next season. I dont think Tony was exactly enthralled with what I did, Haas said. But I think he saw it my way, you know? Either that or get out of the building. Haas was laughing during two different recollections Tuesday of how he sidestepped Stewart during the lightningfast courtship of Busch,

which apparently began at a General Motors dinner in Indianapolis before the Brickyard in late July and ended last weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway with Busch accepting Haas offer. But the message Haas delivered was very clear: Stewart, the three-time NASCAR champion, is the front man of the race team but Haas is still very much a player in the organization he founded in 2002. He brought Stewart aboard in 2009 in a coowner role to bring legitimacy to the team and help get the cars to Victory

Lane, and Stewart has delivered. Now Haas wants to be bigger and better, and wants to see his CNC machine company, Haas Automation, enjoy the spoils. Hell fund Buschs car out of pocket and sponsor the 2004 NASCAR champion himself. Busch, who spent Sunday with Stewart watching the IndyCar race at Sonoma on television, said Stewart got a kick out of the nancials. Tony was slapping me a high-ve, he says, Were tapping into Genes wallet the way I wanted to, Busch said. Haas insisted getting his name on a car was his primary motivation. It was an opportunity for Haas Automation to be a primary sponsor. This is going to be my shot at being a primary sponsor, going to the Daytona 500, the Brickyard as the primary sponsor, he said. Haas Automation has never been in the winners circle, and Im sure thats going to change next year. So thats my primary reason for basically pushing this expansion. Its been met with a little bit of resistance. Stewart, who broke his

leg in two places in an Aug. 5 sprint car crash, was not present for the hour-long news conference to introduce Busch. But in a statement issued by the team, he praised Buschs talent and seemed neutral in tone on expansion. When Gene Haas laid out his plans for what he wanted to do in regard to this race teams future, which included bringing Kurt on board in a fourth car, it was impressive, Stewart said. You cant stand still in this business. You have to constantly improve. Genes investment in this race team ensures the success of Stewart-Haas Racing for many years to come. SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli, who joked at one point hes built a rubber room at the shop to deal with the 2014 driver lineup of Stewart, Busch, Danica Patrick and Kevin Harvick, tried to calm any misconception of a rift between co-owners by clarifying Stewarts position on expansion. After all, Stewart in July cited an inability to expand to four teams in releasing Ryan Newman to make room for Harvick. Tony was very much in favor of the fourth team, Zipadelli said. What Tony was against was us trying to get it done for next year, just so you dont read anything more into it. Tony was in the hospital. Tony didnt know the discussions that were going on. When we all met and talked about it and assured him we would do our best to make sure things didnt slip through the cracks, it took him a couple days to process it. But its an opportunity of a lifetime for a race team to have a caliber of a driver like this. I know hes very excited about it now. But its a little overwhelming when youre rst hit with it. With Busch in the lineup, SHR will have three drivers with a combined 96 Cup victories and four championships. They also have a combined 675 top10 nishes. Busch leaves Furniture Row Racing, where he was in a one-year deal and trying hard to get back with a top team after his 2011 ring from Penske Racing following too many temper tantrums. Hes turned Furniture Row, a singlecar team with one win in its history, into a car that runs up front with a shot at making the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Haas believes Busch will do even more than that at SHR. And once Busch starts winning, Stewart will see that Haas was right all along. Since it wasnt Tonys idea, he was taken aback a little bit by it. But I think he saw it wasnt a bad idea, Haas said. In retrospect it looks like its going to be a great idea. If we dont win any races next year, hey, Im going to look like an idiot. I take gambles, I made a decision, and I think Im going to be proven right. I think were going to win a lot more races than anybody ever thought possible.

Cougars
From page 1B Puckett, a 5-foot-10 sophomore who started nine games and hit 75 of his 138 passes for 625 yards and four touchdowns last year, returns to the quarterback position but this time he has some hard competition. Freshman Jeff Krisiak, at 5-9, comes off a 2,328-yard passing season with 22 touchdown throws after setting more than 15 school records at Pocono Mountain West including one with 42 career touchdown passes. Johnny Rhodes, an All-Star at Western Wayne, is the teams tallest quarterback at 6-3. And sophomore Michael Pheasant threw for 111 yards and saw time in nine games for the Cougars last year. More than one may see the eld this season. Who says we have to play just one quarterback? Ross asked, declining to name a starter. Maybe we get two of them on the eld, nd out what a kid does. Still, Puckett who also nished as Misericordias thirdleading rusher with 231 yards in 2012, will likely get rst crack at keeping the job that was his a year ago. Jeffs a little further ahead, Ross relented. With all that game experience, he should be. He should have enough weapons around him to make things interesting this season. Tight ends Thomas Stelzer and Dean Lucchesi who caught 10 passes including the teams rst-ever touchdown toss last year looked promising in camp. So did running backs Robin Custodio (234 rushing yards in 2012), Frank Santarsiero (166 yards, 1 touchdown) and freshman Oluwatosin Adeyemo who ran for 1,661 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior at Northern Burlington High School in New Jersey last season. Wide receiver Kurt Kowalkski, coming off a 12-catch season, returns and so does stalwart left tackle Trevor Davis who played every offensive snap of Misercordias inaugural football season. Also on the offensive line will be former Northwest standout Drew Godfrey, who saw action in three games for the Cougars last year. Im excited, Puckett said, because every person whos going to play offense has some sort of experience.

right now. Hes a guy that does a lot of different things for us. It was a great day last year when we were able to put him on scholarship, because theres a guy that really deserved it.
Infirmary report

OBrien said both Gress (knee) and linebacker Ben Kline (shoulder) are at full participation in practice and both will play against the Orange. Tight end Brent Wilkerson (back) is out indenitely following surgery. Defensive end Brad Bars (Achilles) and wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton (wrist) will both miss the season. True freshman cornerback Kasey Gaines (hamstring), while most likely headed for a redshirt this year, will not be available for Saturday. Wideout Deshawn Baker and lineman Evan Galimberti have also been ruled out for the game.
lions lose true freshman

More jobs on the line

A solid linebacker corps led by Hunter Pates returns with plans on making things difcult on opposing running games. Pates

recorded 50 tackles, including 21 solos, with 2 1/2 for loss and two forced fumbles a year ago. Hes surrounded by Tim Martin (30 tackles) and Chris Szabo who missed much of last season with injury but returned with a six-tackle game against Kings. Up front, big Ben Muschlitz will be in the middle of things at nose tackle. Returning defensive ends Jake Livingston (2 tackles for loss, 1 sack) and Greg Zotian (a team-leading 2 sacks) both have the ability to cause havoc in the backeld. A good pass rush helps as much as anything, Ross said. In the secondary, cornerbacks Ben Camacho (42 tackles, 30 solos) and Phil Arnold (29 tackles, 25 solos and an interception) will try to limit the openings teams nd downeld, along with reliable corner Kevin Bagasevich.
OutlOOk

At this stage of the program, the Cougars may not be able

to think about competing for a league title, but they can set their sights on becoming more competitive. Lets just get batter every day, Ross said. Obviously, we want to win games. We look forward to when that happens. And if opponents arent careful, the Cougars may just have enough to pull an upset during their second season. If they dont, the Cougars are intent on continuing to build their young program with or without a victory celebration. Thats not how Im going to measure success, Ross said. These kids who came back, they put in a ton of community service. They competed for 60 minutes every game. Most importantly, theyre the rst face of football on this campus. I think they did a really nice job not being the perceived negative inuence some people thought it was going to be.

Likewise, OBrien said two other starting spots right tackle and free safety wont be revealed until after kickoff Saturday. Regardless, Adam Gress and Garry Gilliam will both play at tackle while Malcolm Willis and Ryan Keiser will split time at safety. Malcolm is a leader back there, OBrien said. Hes a guy that has played a lot of football for us, and hes come in here and for the most part been healthy and had a very good, productive training camp. Ryan Keiser, after training camp here you look at him as somewhat of an unsung hero

Another player, rookie defensive back Neiko Robinson, has left the team and wont return, according to OBrien. Though he would not go into specics about the situation, OBrien praised Robinsons character. What happened there is between Neiko and myself, OBrien said. Neiko is a fantastic kid. It had nothing to do with discipline. Nothing. This kid is a fantastic kid, it just didnt work out here at Penn State. He will end up somewhere, but he wont be at Penn State. Robinson, who hails from southern Alabama and played his senior year of high school just across the border in the Florida panhandle, arrived on campus a bit later that his classmates this summer to clear up an apparent academic issue. Any problem appeared to be cleared up by August, however, as Robinson was at practice for at least the rst week of training camp and was present at the teams media day Aug. 8. Penn State has already lost two members of its rst sanction-limited recruiting class in Robinson and Zayd Issah.

syracuse
From page 1B The guys know the direction weve been going. Is that Shafer talking about Syracuse or OBrien discussing Penn State? The answer is both. Shafer said it on Saturday as the Orange prepare for Saturdays opener against the Nittany Lions without having announced a starting quarterback. Shafer, a successful defensive coordinator who has worked from colleges coast-tocoast, will be in his rst game as a head coach. Like OBrien, Shafer has insinuated that he has already made a choice. It will be either notably improved sophomore Terrel Hunt or Oklahoma transfer Drew Allen. On Monday, Shafer threw an extra wrench into things, following Penn States lead and suggesting both men might play. I think you always have to be ready to play whos ready to play, Shafer said. You never know when in a game that could manifest itself. Both guys are preparing well and ready to play. Heres where the situations differ. Whereas Penn States Christian Hackenberg and Tyler Ferguson are of a similar mold, Syracuses signal-callers have very different skillsets. Allen is the more polished dropback passer while Hunt adds another element with his running ability. These type of mind games are par for the course, particularly for an opening game. But it goes without saying that both coaches would prefer to have their experienced record-setting starters from 2012 under center Matt McGloin for Penn State and Ryan Nassib for Syracuse instead of engaging in some light psychological warfare. Certainly Syracuses subterfuge affects Penn States preparation on defense. Its really one of the things thats a little nerve-wracking going into the rst game, OBrien said. You really dont know what to expect, so you have to make sure that you cover all your bases as best as you can. But you also cant stay in the ofce until 4:30 in the morning trying to block ghosts when you dont really know what exists. When you look at their two quarterbacks, whether its Hunt or Allen, from what we know, they are two different quarterbacks. So youve gotta be ready for two different styles of quarterbacks. Im not going to get into how I see the difference in their styles, but we have to do a good job on defense of recognizing who is in the game and making sure were ready for that. For Shafer and the Orange, its a bit different. For one thing, neither Ferguson nor Hackenberg have appeared in a Division I college game. Like many eager Penn State fans, Shafer has had to do his scouting of Penn State quarterbacks by watching online highlight videos. Though Ferguson is the one who a year of junior college ball under his belt, lm of Hackenberg is much easier to nd because of his high prole as one of the countrys top recruits. Its not going to be a situation where they have two drastically different athletes on the football eld, Shafer said. Theyre similar to one another, so I dont think that poses a big concern. But you never know. Maybe they have a Wildcat package. Its tough because you have to get a feel for that as you move into the game. Regardless, Shafer will just be happy not to see Daryll Clark under center for Penn State this time around. Shafer was in his rst season as the Oranges defensive coordinator in 2009 when Clark threw three touchdowns in a 28-7 Lions win. Clark also accounted for three total touchdowns in 2008 during Shafers lone season as Michigans defensive coordinator. That one wound up 46-17 in Penn States favor. Yeah, Shafer joked. Ive repressed it.

DA: Charges wont be filed against Pippen

GReG RIslInG

LOS ANGELES Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen wont face any criminal charges after a ght with an autograph seeker outside a Malibu sushi restaurant earlier this summer, prosecutors said Tuesday. Prosecutors said there was insufcient evidence against Pippen, who was dining with his family June 24 when he was

approached by Camran Shaghi inside Nobu restaurant, a celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. They said Shaghi had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving and exag- Pippen gerated injuries that were deemed minor. The ght occurred outside the res-

taurant after Shaghi asked to have his photo taken with Pippen. Authorities said Shaghi followed Pippen outside into the parking lot and asked for another photo and an autograph from Pippen, who said no. Pippen told investigators that Shaghi was irate, grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit in his face, according to a report by the Los Angeles County district attorneys ofce.

victoria Duval, of the united states, leaps in celebration after upsetting samantha stosur, of Australia, in the first round of the u.s. Open tennis tournament tuesday in new York. Duval defeated the 2011 tournament champion winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.

Duval, a 17-year-old qualier who is ranked 296th, pulled off quite an upset, eliminating 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. Duval jumped up and down with arms aloft after pounding a forehand winner to convert her fourth match point. And why not? Duval had never beaten a player ranked higher than 69th, never even faced one in the top 20, and never won a Grand Slam match. Other seeded women joining the No. 11 Stosur on the way out were No. 17 Dominika Cibulkova, No. 20 Nadia Petrova and No. 31 Klara Zakopalova. No. 2 Victoria Azarenka, the 2012 U.S. Open runner-up and a two-time Australian Open winner, was to play in the night session. Among the men, No. 5 Tomas Berdych

and No. 10 Milos Raonic picked up straight-set victories. On a day that American men went 5-1, led by No. 13 John Isner and No. 26 Sam Querrey, a handful of seeded players made quick departures. No. 14 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, a seminalist at Wimbledon last month, was the most surprising to go, although he was treated by a trainer for a painful back during a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 loss to 247th-ranked qualier Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina. No. 15 Nicolas Almagro, No. 25 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 28 Juan Monaco also lost, while top-seeded Novak Djokovic began his bid for a second U.S. Open title, and seventh major trophy overall, by beating 112th-ranked Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.

Mazda pumps up production speed


Mazda, the longtime also-ran of Japanese automakers, says it came up with innovations in nearly every step of auto manufacturing for a super-efcient assembly line that rolls off vehicles at a stunning rate of one every 54 seconds. The revamped Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture, southwestern Japan, shown to reporters Tuesday, underlines how Mazda Motor Corp. has deed skeptics who predicted the automakers demise after Ford Motor Co. ended a long partnership. Mazda is still riding on its reputation for producing cool gas-sipping models such as the Miata roadster without a single gas-electric hybrid in its lineup.

Syrian situation boosts oil price


The price of oil climbed above $109 a barrel, its highest in more than two years, as the U.S. appeared to edge closer to intervening in Syrias civil war. U.S. defense secretary Chuck Hagel said Tuesday that American forces were ready to act on any order by President Barack Obama to strike Syria in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons in the conict. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that it was undeniable that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. The U.S. Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea within range of targets inside Syria. The U.S. also has warplanes in the region. U.S. benchmark crude for October delivery was up $3.04 to $108.95 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 1:16 p.m.

Half of Luzerne Countys 18 wine and spirit stores have begun offering expanded hours at least some days of the week. The changes went into effect this week. The changes are part of an effort to better meet consumer demand, the states Liquor Control Board said in a news release. The board expanded hours at 102 Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores, nine of them in Luzerne County. Some stores will open up to two hours earlier while others will remain open up to two hours later. Stacy Kriedeman, the PLCBs spokeswoman, said the board regularly analyzes operations at its more than 600 stores, whether it be location, stafng levels or hours, to make

Sales in the state stores in Luzerne County totaled $50 million for the scal year ending June 30, an increase of $1.6 million from the prior scal year. The state stores were front and center for much of the rst half of the year as Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, rolled out an initiative to privatize liquor and wine sales in the state. It became a centerpiece of his initial budget plan. Pennsylvania and Utah are the only states controlling both the wholesale and retail sale of wine and liquor. The Republican-controlled House approved a privatization bill, spearheaded by Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods. The Republican-led Senate did not; however, it did pass an amendment that would allow more private sales and phase out the state stores.

35 states to collect mineral payments


Dozens of states will receive an estimated total of $110 million in mineral leasing payments from the federal government following a dispute over automatic spending cuts that drew a backlash from lawmakers in the West. Interior ofcials previously defended the cuts by saying they had no choice in the matter under budget rules now in place. But they said Tuesday that a months-long legal review of the Mineral Leasing Act determined the money must be paid to states at a later date. Its very clear those funds are not permanently canceled but withheld, said Interior budget director Pam Haze. Thirty-ve states had been denied a portion of their payments for 2013, under automatic spending cuts put in place after Congress failed to agree on a decit reduction plan.

NEW YORK Fears of an escalating conict in Syria rippled across nancial markets on Tuesday, sinking stocks, lifting gold and pushing the price of oil to the highest in a year and a half. The increasing possibility of U.S. military strikes raised worries on Wall Street that energy trade in the region could be disrupted, raising fuel costs for consumers and business. If Syria becomes drawn out and becomes a long-term issue, its going to show up in things like gas prices, said Chris Costanzo, investment ofcer with Tanglewood Wealth Management. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 170.33 points, or 1.1 percent, to 14,776.13, the lowest in two months. The Standard & Poors 500 index lost 26.30 points, or 1.6 percent, to 1,630.48 and the Nasdaq composite fell 79.05 points, or 2.2 percent, to 3,578.52. The law of unintended consequenc-

es and the history of previous military interventions in the region is not a recipe for political and economic stability, said Neil MacKinnon, global macro strategist at VTB Capital. The sell-off in U.S. stocks was broad. All 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 index were in the red, and only 31 of the indexs 500 stocks rose. Utilities and other high dividend-paying stocks mostly escaped the selling. The impact wasnt just in stocks. Gold prices advanced and government bond prices jumped because traders see those investments holding their value better in times of uncertainty. Gold rose $27, or 2 percent, to $1,420 an ounce while the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.71 percent from 2.79 percent. While Syria itself has little oil, traders feared an intervention in Syria could cause further instability in the Middle East and possibly disrupt the ow of oil from the region. Oil surged $3.09, or 2.9 percent, to close at $109.01 a barrel, the highest closing price since

Traders gather at a post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as stocks declined broadly in early trading Tuesday. Investors feared the possibility of a U.S. military intervention in Syria could become a reality.

February 2012. People worry about this becoming a worst-case scenario and turning into a regional conict, said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management. Energy prices dragged down the airline industry on concerns that higher oil prices could lead to higher fuel

costs. United Continental Holdings, the worlds largest airline by revenue, dropped $2.15, or 7.2 percent, to $27.71 and Delta Air Lines lost $1.16, or 5.7 percent, to $19.11. Stone said oil prices could start weighing on consumer spending down the road, but it is still too early to gauge the longer-term impact.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan statistical area inched down another tenth of a percentage point in July, marking the sixth consecutive month with a drop. But at 9.1 percent, the rate was still the highest of the states 14 MSAs. The rate was the lowest in this region since March 2012, when the rate was also 9.1 percent.

The state rate was unchanged over the month, at 7.5 percent, while the U.S. rate was 7.4 percent, down two-tenths. Over the past year, the local unemployment rate fell half of a percentage point, Pennsylvanias rate decreased six-tenths of a point, while the U.S. rate dropped eighttenths. Within the metro area, unemployment in Luzerne County mirrored the region at 9.1 percent in July. Lackawanna Countys rate was 8.7 percent while the rate
RUSSELL 2000 1,013.49

was 8.9 percent in Wyoming County. The three counties comprise the MSA. Even with the fall of the unemployment rate, July marked the 40th consecutive month that this region had the highest rate in the state. Along with Johnstown, which had an unemployment rate of 8.7 percent, the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre metro was the only one in the state with a rate above 8 percent. A closer look at the monthly data report shows this regions seasonally adjusted employ-

ment increased by 700 from June to 260,200, while the labor force rose by 400 to 286,100. Seasonally adjusted unemployment decreased by 300 to 25,900. When broken down into sectors and supersectors, the region showed: Health care and social assistance posted a decline of 1,000 jobs over the year; a large portion of the drop was attributable to hospital employment, which was down 600 jobs over the year. Professional and business

services and leisure and hospitality, despite being essentially at over the month, were both up 1,400 jobs over the same period last year. Trade, transportation and utilities declined by 400 jobs over the month; however, over the year, this sector is up 1,000 jobs. Included in that supersector is retail jobs, which were down 300 monthto-month and 300 over the year. Government jobs were down 2,000 from June but up 300 over the year.

Maligned and misunderstood, anchovies have long been those stinky little sh that sneak into Caesar salad or top some adventurous persons pizza. My father would eat them out of a can, says New Orleans restaurateur and TV chef John Besh. If Dad was going hunting, hed grab a can of smoked oysters or anchovies and crackers, and that would be his lunch. But today, chefs like Besh have moved anchovies to the top of the food chain, showcasing them as elegant bar snacks, sophisticated bruschetta or the foundation for pasta dishes and stews. They make friends and enemies quickly, says Seamus Mullen, chef-owner of Tertulia in New York City. A bad anchovy is not a good thing. Its a question of making sure you get the right ones. Getting the right anchovies has become much easier in recent years. The mushy, salty tinned anchovies eaten by Beshs father are still out there. But more and more, the shelves of gourmet stores and upscale supermarkets offer high-quality anchovies preserved in olive oil, pickled in vinegar or sometimes even fresh. More menus offer items such as boquerones, white anchovies, often dressed with vinegar. Fresh anchovies might be cooked over a wood re or dressed with breadcrumbs and garlic.

In Spain, you can go into any tapas bar, and youll see anchovies all over the menu. What we are seeing right now in the U.S. is a food revolution where people want to know more about food, and so as that is happening people are becoming more and more open to new ingredients and experiences.

Sometimes, anchovies go undercover. Besh uses them as what he calls natures MSG, melting them into beef daube and lamb stew to intensify the savory avors. Nick Stefanelli, executive chef at Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca in Washington, D.C., uses them to make an ancient Roman sh sauce called garum. One of the most classic pasta dishes is spaghetti with sh sauce, garlic and chilies, says Stefanelli, who includes the dish on his tasting menus. The product itself really takes it where it needs to be. Its so simple and beautiful. Anchovies have been a staple of Italian, Spanish and Provencal French cooking for centuries. French and Italian country stews use them to provide umami, a sense of meatiness and depth.

They are made into marinades and tapenades, tossed into pasta and mixed with garlic, breadcrumbs and parsley to stuff vegetables, such as peppers and eggplant. In Spain, they are among the nest tapas. In Spain, you can go into any tapas bar, and youll see anchovies all over the menu, chefentrepreneur Jose Andres said via email from Spain. What we are seeing right now in the U.S. is a food revolution where people want to know more about food, and so as that is happening people are becoming more and more open to new ingredients and experiences. Not that youll see anchovies in the fast-food lane any time soon. But as more and better quality anchovies become available, theyre likely to play a bigger role on supermarket shelves

and upscale menus. But in the wider world, they may hang out on pizza and Caesar salad a bit longer. Which is not such a bad thing. The Caesar salad with anchovies, when done well, Mullen says, is pretty darn good. So here are some tips for embracing anchovies in your own cooking: AIM HIGH Go for the ones in a jar, Mullen says. The people producing them are proud of them. Mullen suggests topping a buttered rye cracker with an anchovy and a drizzle of vinegar. The fatty butter goes a long way to temper the anchovy and gives it luxurious mouth feel, he says. GO BASIC Cut up a head of cauliower See ANCHOVIES | 2C

In honor of the 30th-birthday celebration of the Pittston Tomato Festival, my dad, Chef Biagio Dente, and I constructed a cake 4 feet in diameter, weighing more than 100 pounds, and bright red. A lot of people were really shocked on opening night when they learned tomato was one of the main ingredients. To prepare such a large cake was a challenge, but we managed to pull it off. If you are interested in preparing a tomato cake on a much smaller scale, I am sharing the recipe. The tomato is no stranger to anyone, whether youre drinking tomato juice for breakfast, slicing tomatoes for sandwiches at lunch or cooking them for dinner with a chicken, beef or veal entree. Tomatoes originated in Mexico Blaise Alan Dente and Central America, where Spanish immigrants considered them poisonous and used them as an ornament in the 18th century. But Italians had been cooking with the tomato as far back as the 16th century. They called the tomato pomodoro, which means golden apple. Today there are more than 1,000 varieties of tomatoes, which come in many shapes and sizes as well as different colors, including pink, green, orange and yellow. The popular red tomato gets its color from the time of its harvesting, degree of acidity, sugar and water content and its texture of skin and esh. TOMATO CAKE Ingredients: 1 cup dark brown sugar cup vegetable shortening 2 large eggs 3 cups all-purpose our 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups chopped tomatoes Optional additional ingredients: cup chopped nuts, cup chopped dates, cup chopped seedless raisins, 1 teaspoon nutmeg Method of preparation: Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs. Add sifted dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in chopped tomatoes. If desired, incorporate nuts, dates and raisins. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Spread your favorite icing once cake has cooled.

Give wild rice another chance in a late-summer salad


ALISON LADMAN
Associated Press

Wild rice seemed to have its moment back in the 90s. Thats roughly when Americans rst seemed to discover there was more to the rice world than long grain white. Since then, wild rice (and yes, we know its really a grass, not a true rice) seems to have lost its luster. People moved on to all the many other new and exciting grains that have come along since, things like quinoa and farro, not to mention the many designer and heirloom rices now lining grocers shelves.

But we still have a soft spot for the tender, nutty chew of wild rice. So we created a cool, sweet summer salad to show off just how delicious it can be. HERBED WILD RICE SALAD WITH APRICOTS AND BLUEBERRIES Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 cup wild rice Kosher salt 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons chopped fresh

chives 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme Ground black pepper 2 fresh apricots, pitted and diced 1 cup blueberries In a medium pot, combine the wild rice, a hefty pinch of salt and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, adding water as needed. When the rice is tender, strain through a mesh strainer and spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet to cool. To speed

the process, you can set the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Once the rice has cooled, in a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, chives, tarragon, thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir in the wild rice, apricots and blueberries. Season with additional salt and black pepper as needed.

From page 1C and boil some pasta, Stefanelli says. When the pasta is almost cooked, throw the cauliower into the water. Heat olive oil, garlic, anchovies, raisins and pine nuts in a skillet. Drain the pasta and cauliower and toss with the anchovy sauce. Boom, 10 minutes you have dinner, he says.

Fear of unwanted 911 publicity causes some people not to make the call
Dear Abby: A friend of mine was a victim of domestic violence. When I asked her why she didnt phone 911 for help, her response was, They play those 911 calls on the radio all the time. She didnt want her prominent husbands career damaged by adverse publicity. Today, a group of us discussed the issue over breakfast. Many of the women said that because of the popularity of 911 calls being broadcast on the Internet, radio and TV, theyd be hesitant to phone for help when needed, too. Abby, someone is going to suffer serious harm out of fear that their call for help will be publicized. Do

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE you know what can be done about this new drama entertainment? I wouldnt want my terrified call heard by the public either, so Id take my chances without calling for help. I just hope I dont wake up dead one day as a result. Publicity-Shy in Florida
Dear Publicity-Shy: Nothing can be done about drama entertainment as long as the public has an appetite for it. The reason for the practice of if it bleeds, it leads in the media is that it draws viewers and listeners which means advertising revenue.

In the case of domestic violence, calling 911 is the lesser of two evils. Out-of-control abusers have been known to maim and kill the ones they love. Ask yourself if your friends husbands career was worth risking her life for. It makes more sense to risk a 911 call being broadcast than to have cameras and TV reporters camped on your lawn while the EMTs or the coroner carry your battered, bloody body out on a gurney. Dear Abby: Im overweight and have a family history of heart disease and diabetes. An injury to my back severely limits my ability to exercise, so diet is an important part of my health plan. My problem is people CONSTANT-

LY try to get me to eat. I explain my situation, but they still urge me to have just a taste. If I go to a party and shy away from the buffet, the host feels Im being rude. Recently, my supervisor at work became insulted because I refused some food she brought to a work meeting. These people wouldnt be upset if an alcoholic refused a drink, so why are they so hostile to me? (Another thing that upsets me is when somebody dies an early death, these same folks say, He should have taken better care of himself.) Under Attack in Arizona Dear Under Attack: For many people, food has become something other than fuel for the body. It can

symbolize love, caring, acceptance and when it is refused it can seem like a personal rejection to the person offering it. (Yes, I know its crazy.) Your best defense is to remind your hosts, your supervisor, your co-workers and friends that you have a family history of health problems and are on a doctor-advised restricted diet to manage it. Remind these generous souls that socializing is more about the company than the food, and you are grateful that they understand.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unlike the country song that suggests its possible to say it best by saying nothing at all, todays situation requires that something eloquent and truthful be said. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people who are closest to you know how to set off your emotional triggers and will do so in both good and bad ways. Knowing how to create a sense of calm inside yourself is a skill worth developing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something didnt go the way you wanted it to go, but its only as big of a deal as you make it. Letting yourself feel tormented by events is always an option, though you usually prefer to make a new plan and try again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You and a loved one are not on the same page at the start of the day, but you sync up after several hours of doing a task together. The task could be anything, including driving. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can provide assistance, but youre not sure you should. You realize that people dont appreciate what is handed to them unless they believe they deserve it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Material gains will come of emotional and spiritual work. Your faith will be key, so keep believing it will all work out, and stop worrying about how. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is personality to everything you do, and thats why you cant really do things anonymously. Your work will be recognized and lauded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be wise to avoid controversy, especially the kind that is likely to occur just because people dont have anything better to entertain themselves with. Avoid bored people, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The person who is good and has never been bad is sweet and will require protection today. The person who has been bad and now chooses to be good will be the best one for the job. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What youve learned seems irrelevant to the events of the day. Its like youre being forced to learn a new way to solve a problem. Note: It might be faster to invent your own way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Dont allow those who are close to you to get away with being less than they could be. Self-pity is a dangerous dynamic. Helplessness is a poor substitute for self-love. Hold your dear ones to a higher standard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People without integrity are dangerous. When someone shows a lack of integrity in a small way, consider it a preview of coming attractions and react accordingly. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 28). Youll entertain many this year. In September, youll make a sale, as well as forward a personal interest. October brings you face to face with someone youve long wanted to know. Youll handle a rush of business in December. March interests lead you to a fun group of friends. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 6, 13 and 28.

New appliance can make you healthier, look younger and perform younger
You can avoid decline in health, physical abilities and mental abilities as you age

Also provides rapid weight loss

A new advanced appliance developed by BioTech Research and EdenPURE can make you healthier, look younger, feel better, and perform younger. It will provide you with over 100 Benefical Nutrients that you cannot get from vitamin pills. It also provides rapid weight loss. People of all ages can benefit. Studies show that deterioration of the body starts after age 30. When you get older, you can avoid being excluded from events with friends and family and being put in a nursing home because of disabilities. This new advanced appliance is the EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender. To find out how it works and get a quick education on how you can avoid physical and mental disabilities as you age, here is my interview with Cristiana Paul, M.S. and David Dearth, IFBB Professional, who are the Chief Nutritionist and Chief Personal Trainer for BioTech Research. Paul and Dearths clients include top Hollywood movie stars, top professional models, top music artists and top business executives. Two of their clients are pictured on this page. Q: Cristiana, isnt a decline in physical abilities, mental abilities, and appearance a natural part of aging? A: Absolutely not. That is a myth that has been debunked by science and numerous real life case histories over the past 20 years. With the exception of rare inherited genetic defects and injuries, it was found that these aging maladies are mainly caused by malnutrition and inactivity. Lack of Essential Nutrients deprives the body of its ability to repair itself. Inactivity causes muscles, bones, and other body parts to deteriorate because the body is programmed that YOU USE IT OR LOSE IT. There are 42 Essential Nutrients needed by the body to function properly and repair itself. There are also over 100 Beneficial Nutrients that you get from fresh fruits and vegetables that help with such things as antiaging and boosting your immune system. The average American is missing 10 to 17 of the Essential Nutrients and is not getting adequate amounts of 7 to 12 additional. This will vary depending on where people live. Think of your body as a ship. A ship undergoes wear and tear and attacks by toxic elements like salt. It is in need of constant repair. But what if the shipyard that repairs the ship is deprived of its repair supply, such as steel, paint, wood, plastic and rubber. The ship would start deteriorating, lose performance, and eventually fall apart. The same thing happens to your body when your body is deprived of the critical supplies to repair it. Q: Dave, regarding the USE IT OR LOSE IT law of nature, most people are active with work, house chores, and other such things. Why do their bodies deteriorate with age?

John Whitehead, Media Services

The EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender Provides You dont have to become disabled the Essential Nutrients missing in your diet and disfigured as you grow older

The EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender is commercial quality with 1500 watts and 2.5 horsepower and has a 64 oz. capacity. For comparison, the best selling Juicer/Blender has only 600 watts, less than 1.3 horsepower and only an 24 oz. capacity. You need a machine that has the power to liquify all parts of fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts. The liquid is then best absorbed by the body. Anything left in solid form will be less likely to be absorbed and is unpleasant to drink.

A: Because the activities engaged in by the majority of people do not put Adequate Muscle Demand on the majority of muscles in the body. When there is inadequate demand, the muscles deteriorate, then the bones that support the muscles deteriorate and then the rest of the body deteriorates. When the body senses that a muscle is not needed, it atrophies the muscle and the bone just like what occurs when you get a broken bone and have a limb put it a cast. Q: Cristiana, Why arent the majority of people getting the adequate amount of nutrition? A: It is because of farm soil nutrition depletion, commercial food processing, cooking of food, and bad food selection. Farmers only replace a fraction of the Essential Nutrients in farm soil. Food processing removes a large percentage of Essential Nutrients. Cooking food removes a large percentage of Essential Nutrients. Most people select foods that are very low in Essential Nutrients. Even if people select good foods, because of a nutrition soil depletion, they would have to eat such a large quantity to get the Essential Nutrients that it would not be feasible. As a result of a 17 year research program, BioTech Research has developed a breakthrough way to provide people with 100% of the Essential Nutrients and Adequate Muscle Demand for all 620 muscles. Q: Cristiana, what part does the EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender play in this method? A: It plays a major part. Without it, getting all of these Essential Nutrients and over 100 other beneficial nutrients would not be possible. In order to get many of the Essential Nutrients and beneficial nutrients, you need a powerful machine that can juice and blend. But most of the juicers and blenders on the market are inadequate. They either do not have enough power or the proper mechanics to extract these critical nutrients.

You cant just use a juicer or just use a blender to get the critical nutrients out of fruits and vegetables. If you just use a low power juicer, you are not getting the critical fiber in your diet needed for proper digestive function. You are also missing many of the critical nutrients that are in the skin and seeds of fruits and vegetables. You need a machine that has the power to liquify all parts of fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts. The liquid is then best absorbed by the body. Anything left in solid form will be less likely to be absorbed and is unpleasant to drink. But no matter how many different types of vegetables that you would use in any juicer or blender, you would still miss other Essential and Beneficial Nutrients that are not found in fruits and vegetables. These nutrients are only found from animal source food. Also, because of soil nutrition depletion, even the best vegetables are void of Essential Nutrients. Nutrition is the most critical for good health and fitness. The majority of health and fitness professionals agree that good health and fitness is 75% nutrition and 25% exercise. Q: Cristiana: How do you provide these missing nutrients? A: BioTech Research has developed powdered supplements that supply these nutrients that you simply add to the blender when you are making your fruit and vegetable smoothie. This will provide you with a Total Nutrition Smoothie. You only need to have two smoothies a day to get 100% of the Essential Nutrients your body needs for proper repair and function. If you are an athlete and need extra protein, you can do extra protein smoothies with our protein supplement. These supplements are much less expensive than getting these nutrients from food and will save you a great deal on your food bill and vitamin bills. You will not have to buy expensive vitamin pills, most of which are useless because they are not absorbed by the body.

The smoothies will also save you a great deal because you will not have to buy medications to address problems caused by malnutrition. It will provide you with over 100 Benefical Nutrients from fruits and vegetables that you cannot get from vitamin pills. Q: Dave: How are people going to get Adequate Muscle Demand for all of their muscles which is the other critical part? A: We have developed a way to get Adequate Muscle Demand on 100% of the body muscles by only exercising one hour a week. It provides both aerobic and anaerobic exercise in a simple to follow DVD, titled Total Fitness In One Hour A Week. It does not require you go to the gym. You can do it right in your home with no equipment. Q: Dave, what kind of results can people expect? A: Our clients have gotten dramatic results including stronger muscles, stronger bones, excess body fat loss, body firming and shaping, dramatically improved appearance of hair, skin and nails, and have great improvements in physical and mental abilities. They also have a greatly increased sex drive and increased sexual performance. Q: Cristiana: How can my readers get the EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender, the Essential Nutrition supplements and the exercise DVD? A: The top juicers cost $700.00 to over $1,000.00. The top blenders cost hundreds of dollars. The EdenPURE Ultra Juicer/Blender is commercial quality with 1500 watts and 2.5 horsepower. It is superior to the top juicers and blenders but costs much less. The price is only $597.00 plus $27.00 shipping and handling for a total of $624.00, delivered. But, today your readers, if they order in the next 7 days, can get it at a $200.00 discount plus free shipping and handling and get it for only $397 delivered. In addition, they will get a 30-day supply of the Essential Nutrition Supplements free and the

Pictured above are 2 clients of Cristiana Paul, M.S. and David Dearth, IFBB Professional, who get Total Nutrition and Fitness. Ben Suarez is age 68 and Nancy Suarez is age 66. While most of their friends have either passed away or are disabled, Ben and Nancy are stronger and faster than when they were in their 20s. They are stronger than over 90% of men and women in their 20s and have no disabilities or pain. They look young, feel young, perform like they are young and enjoy life to the fullest.

Notice is hereby given that the Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board will hold a public meeting on September 3, 2013 at 7:00PM at the Harveys Lake Borough Building, for the following two variance requests:

1. Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board will hear testimony on the application of Steve & Heather Vieczorek, owners of property at Pole 140, Lakeside Drive Harveys Lake, PA 18618. Applicant is requesting a variance from Harveys Lake Zoning board, so that they can expand a non-conforming dock in the S-1 Zoning District.

Additionally, the appropriate DEP permits have not been secured for work in the water.

2. The Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board will hear testimony on the application of Scott & Susan Meuser, regarding a property owned by Michael & Cindy Vough, for a property at 207 Lakeside Drive, Harveys Lake, PA.
