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

Rite Aid spokeswoman Ashley Flower said in an email the pharmacy is cooperating with authorities. “Though we believe this to be an isolated incident, out of an abundance of caution, we have removed the product from our Wilkes-Barre area locations, until the investigation is complete,” she said. “We are aware of and are investigating a customer concern involving an over-the-counter product purchased at one of our Wilkes-Barre area stores. We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the authorities regarding this matter.” A check of the shelves on Thursday showed no chewable Advil tablets in the children’s medicine aisle. There were Infants’ Advil drops and adult Advil products on other shelves, however.

Bob Casey on Thursday said Pennsylvania is ranked No. 1 in something no state wants to be — deficient bridges. Casey, D-Scranton, held a teleconference fromWashingtontoannouncehewill introduce a bill to increase funding for bridges owned by counties or municipalities in Pennsylvania by $30 million. The state received $74 million last year for bridge repairs. The move comes as Pennsylvania continues to struggle to upgrade its bridges. Casey’s bipartisan bill will be introduced with U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri. Casey said Pennsylvania has 5,543 deficient bridges — nearly 25 percent of all spans in the state — and he said they are located in small towns and rural areas. This translates to more than 19 million daily trips taken over structurally deficient bridges, according to data provided by Casey’s office. According to the data, there are 122 deficient municipal or county-owned bridges in Luzerne County, 82 in Lackawanna County, 42 in Wyoming County, 69 in Lycoming County and 118 in Monroe County. “Investing in our state’s crumbling bridges will create jobs and ensure our counties and BASSEM MROUE Associated Press BEIRUT — Syrian President Bashar Assad publicly agreed Thursday to a Russian plan to secure and destroy his chemical weapons, but said the proposal would work only if the U.S. halts threats of military action.

THE TIMES LEADER ACIVITAS MEDIAcompany STEVE MOCARSKY [email protected] SCRANTON — A grand jury in Scranton on Tuesday indicted a Wilkes-Barre man on a federal drug charge, with authorities alleging he dealt drugs out of a Kingston hotel. James King, 47, of South Street, was indicted on a charge of possession of heroin with intent to distribute, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced on Wednesday. According to U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith, King was arrested in April 2013 in connection with a drug sale in Kingston during an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Luzerne County Drug Task Force. The case is assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd K. Hinkley. According to Times Leader archives based on separate criminal complaints filed in April, Kingston and Swoyersville police officers acting as members of the Luzerne County Drug Task Force met on March 30 with a confidential informant, who later that day made a controlled purchase of heroin from a man using the alias “Mel” and staying in a room at at the Budget Inn on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston. Further investigation revealed King was the man who sold the drugs, police said. An undercover officer with the task force then arranged a drug buy from King on April 5 and bought five packets of heroin for $100, court records said. Inconnectionwith the March 30 incident, King was charged with delivery of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. He was charged with identical counts in the April 5 incident as well as two counts of criminal conspiracy and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. King is currently awaiting trial in Luzerne County Court on those charges. The federal charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a term of supervised release after imprisonment, and a fine. BRUCE SHIPKOWSKI andWAYNE PARRY AssociatedPress SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — A massive fire spitting fist-sized embers engulfed dozens of businesses along an iconic Jersey shore boardwalk Thursday, as workers racing to contain the blaze’s advance ripped up stretches of walkway only recently replaced in the wake of SuperstormSandy. That last-ditch effort to save the heart of the town’s tourism business — and its very economic survival — appeared to have worked. Two hours after public works crews ripped out a 25-foot swath of boardwalk that had been hurriedly rebuilt for a visit to Seaside Heights by Prince Harry in May, the flames had not advanced past the break. Heavy equipment filled the breach with tall walls of sand to form makeshift dunes holding back not waves but fire. “So far, so good,” said Robert Matthies, the mayor of neighboring Seaside Park, where the blaze began around 2:30 p.m. The blaze remained out of control as of 8:30 p.m. but firefighters reported some progress in containing it. The 6-alarm blaze began in a frozen cus- tard stand on the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk and fanned by 15-20 mph winds from an approaching storm system, quickly spread north into Seaside Heights, the boardwalk town where the MTV series “Jersey Shore” was filmed—andwhere the October storm famously plunged a roller coast into the ocean. No serious injuries were reported, but the blaze destroyed all 32 businesses on the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk, borough Councilwoman Nancy Koury told The Associated Press. An undetermined number of additional boardwalk businesses in Seaside Heights also were burned. The fire burned eight blocks: four on either side of the two towns’ border, Matthies said. “We’re going to be here for several days,” one firefighter said as he rushed toward the flames. A line of powerful thunderstorms that battered part of New Jersey swung north of Seaside Park, offering no help to some 400 firefighters battling the flames. The livelihoods of the two popular Jersey shore resort communities depend on summer tourism and they had just spent millions of dollars rebuilding their boardwalks, arcade games, pizza stands and bar and grills to be ready for the summer season. “It’s devastating; I’ve been crying all afternoon,” said Shirley Kreszl, who has rented a summer home in Seaside Park for decades. “Haven’t we been hit enough? We try to rebuild and just when we think we saved a little bit of our town, this happens. It’s just not fair.” Gov. Chris Christie, who raced to the fire scene, was typically blunt describing his thoughts as he approached the blaze. “I feel like I want to throwup,” he said. Koury said the fire caused several million dollars’ worth of damage. At one point, she said, flames jumped across Ocean Avenue, the oceanfront street, and ignited two or three small houses but firefighters quickly doused them. A motel near the boardwalk also was engulfed in flames. For hours, two boardwalk businesses, an arcade and the popular Saw Mill Cafe, escaped the flames. But shortly before 7 p.m. the arcade was engulfed in a huge orange fireball that rolled into the darken- ing sky, and flames licked against the side of the Saw Mill; it could not immediately be determined howbadly damaged the cafe was. “I can’t believe this is happening,” Koury said as she watched the flames devour boardwalk structures. “Our small business people went through so much in the storm to get ready for summer and stay open all summer, and now it’s all gone. I just can’t believe it.” Officials said the fire got underneath the boardwalk, making it even more difficult to extinguish. “It’s underneath the boards, and its coming up through the cracks,” Koury said. “It’s making it harder to get water on it.” Matthies said the businesses were pri- marily wood with tar roofs and shingles, which accelerated the fire. In Seaside Heights, real estate agent Michael Loundy, who works with the borough on tourism related projects, was pained as he watched firefighters make a stand against the flames on DuPont Avenue, several blocks from the Seaside Park border. “It’s raging,” he said “It is absolutely raging. The wind is blowing something fierce, making it very difficult for firefighters to fight.” Raging fre strikes at heart of Sandy-hit NJ town 2013-256 Wilkes-Barre Publishing, LLC WALT LAFFERTY Regional Business Development Director &General Manager (570) 970-7158 [email protected] DENISE SELLERS VP/Chief Revenue Ofcer (570) 970-7203 [email protected] JIMMcCABE Circulation Manager (570) 970-7450 [email protected] JEFFTINNER Production Director (570) 829-7172 [email protected] PAGE 2A Friday, September 13, 2013 NEWS www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER DETAILS W-B man indicted on federal drug charges AP photo Firefighters battle a fire on the Seaside Heights, N.J., boardwalk Thursday.

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

Kozlofski said the cafeteria “has never seen this kind of money before.” He also said that with the cafeteria’s meal selections, “the kids are excited about going to school.” In addition, Kozlofski thanked all of the workers who helped with the change to Metz at the beginning of the present school year. Secretary Cindy Donlin said she noticed there was hardly any wasted food in the trash, and the students really “enjoy their meals.” Superintendent Anthony Perrone said the teachers are enjoying the meals as well. In another matter, Perrone also thanked the faculty for a “fantastic program on suicide” and remarked on the attentiveness of the students during the important presentation. In other matters, the board: - Appointed Ellen Rutkowski as middle school chorus director II for the 2013-2014 school year. - Appointed the following 2013-2014 coaches or extra- curriculum positions: Jason Woodard as field hockey scorekeeper, Kayla Reakes and Maggie Gola as field hockey assistant II coaches (shared position), Neil McMahon as strength coach (football), and John Pietrzyk as volunteer girls volleyball coach.

GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent PLAINS TWP. — Township commissioners offered some hope for a solution Thursday night to residents who have repeatedly complained about truck traffic along Ridgewood Road and East Saylor Avenue. Commissioners said they are planning meetings with state Sen. John Yudichak and state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski about the possibility of stop lights and other measures to control noise, pollution and damage from the trucks. The township is also in the process of pricing scales so that trucks can be monitored for possible weight restriction violations, they said. Township officials also said they are talking with the owners of Wilkes- Barre Materials about the possibility of constructing an access road to state Route 315 that will eliminate the need to go through the Keystone section neighbor- hoods. The complaints from residents in the area regarding activity at the Wilkes- Barre Materials and Popple Construction quarries, which have been consistent for years, have sharply increased since this spring. In other matters, it was announced there will be a public meeting Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. to discuss the results of recent surveys and to seek public input about a comprehensive plan to be put together for future township activity. Earlier their year, one of every three homes in the township received a survey regarding general progress and development within the township in the coming years. Roughly 40 percent of the surveys were completed and returned, commissioners said. Commissioners urged as many residents as possible to attend the meeting, noting the significance this will hold for residents well into the future. The next regular Board of Commissioners meeting will be on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Plains Twp. ofers hope for truck trafc woes WRIGHT TWP. — A Mountain Top man was arraigned Wednesday on charges he burglarized a restaurant where he worked for one day. Joshua Kloeker, 21, of Oak Drive, was charged by township police with burglary, criminal trespass, receiving stolen property, theft and criminal mischief. He was released without bail. According to the criminal complaint: The owner of La Napoli Restaurant at South Mountain Boulevard and Church Road reported someone entered a window and stole more than $2,000, a cash box and a gift certificate envelope containing cash on Aug. 11 through Aug. 12. A surveillance camera recorded the face of the suspect who police identified as Kloeker, the complaint says. The restaurant owner told police Kloeker worked at the restaurant for one day on Aug. 3 and quit at the end of his shift. Kloeker and the restaurant owner said hello to each other at the St. Jude’s Bazaar several hours before the burglary, police said. Kloeker denied he burglarized the restaurant and told police he was drinking heav- ily and could not remember the night of Aug. 11 into Aug. 12, the complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Sept. 18. HARRISBURG — A Wyoming County man was sentenced on pornography charges Thursday in federal court. Joseph Keller, 28, formerly of Tunkhannock, was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy to serve 60 months in prison on the charges of receipt and distribution of child pornography and possession of a destructive device, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced. According to U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith, Keller admitted to using a computer to download and distribute images of child pornography in 2011 and to possessing an unregis- tered homemade destructive device. POLICE BLOTTER THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Friday, September 13, 2013 PAGE 3A KINGSTON — A report from the state Auditor General’s Office accuses Wyoming Valley West School Board of “wasting” more than $1.1 million in taxpay- er money in a lengthy and failed battle with the West Side Career and Technology Center, where more than 300 WVW students are enrolled annually. The rebuke comes at the end of what is otherwise a clean audit report designed to ensure districts are in compliance with state and federal law. The Auditor General’s Office makes no recommen- dations for punishment or other state actions, but does chastise the board and urges it to “consider the taxpayers’ expectation that their money will be used wisely for the education of the district’s children when approving or rejecting agreements.” The criticism centers on the board’s April 2008 decision not to approve what is usually a routine agreement among the five member school districts that send students to the center for both career and academic training. Terms of the agreement include setting the number of representatives each member district can have on the Joint Operating Committee that runs the center. The report notes that district administration waived the opportunity to respond to audit findings before they are made public. Contacted Thursday, board member Brian Dubaskas said the issues between the district and the center had been ongoing years before the stretch cited by the report. “It was a decision that was made because we needed to make sure everyone understood our concerns,” Dubaskas said, and that it probably helped improve things at the center for the district. For years, Wyoming Valley West has argued it should have greater represent a- tion on the JOC because it provides a much larger perc ent age of students to the center than any other member district. The report notes the board refused to sign the agreement in 2008 because it wanted changes in represen- tation, financial planning and proposed center upgrades. But refusing to sign the agreement meant WVW was no longer a “member” of the JOC and thus had to pay a higher “non-member” tuition for each student, a situation that lasted for more than two years. The auditor general report contends the district spent $1,159,331 more in tuition than it would have spent if it had been a member. The report also notes that the board voted to sign the agreement in June 2010 for one year only, but that the time limitation was not relayed in writing to the JOC and the JOC ultimately rejected WVW’s return to the fold. The confusion was not cleared up until January 2011, when the WVW board voted to return to the center JOC retroactive to July 1, 2010. “While I am pleased to note that Wyoming Valley West School District is once again a member of the career center and is no longer paying the higher non-resident tuition, it is distressing that taxpayers are out more than $1 million that could have been better used in the district’s classrooms,” Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said in a press release.

But, the mental infirmity request of Megan Panowicz, of Forty Fort, won’t go to a jury yet. Defense attorneys still have to address a request by prosecutors to have the defense thrown out because it is “improper” — meaning a scheduled Sept. 23 trial has been postponed until at least December. Panowicz, 28, is charged in the August 2008 death of Sharon Shaughnessy, who was killed on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston when she was reportedly struck by three vehicles. Senior Judge Charles Brown ruled Thursday that Panowicz’s attorneys — her father, Robert Panowicz, and Basil Russin — filed the defense in enough time and that he would not preclude Panowicz from presenting the defense out of “fairness and justice.” Brown scheduled a hearing for Sept. 23 to hear attorneys’ arguments on Deputy Attorney General Clarke Madden’s request that the defense is “improper” and not legal at this point in the case. Brown also continued the Sept. 23 trial date to begin with jury selection on Dec. 3. Brown said the “particular, and unusual, cir- cumstances of the case” led him to his decision. Panowicz previously had sought to use other defense meth- ods in the case that were thrown out by Brown. There was also an issue involving whether Panowicz would face a misdemeanor or felony charge in the case; the Superior Court ultimately ruled Panowicz would face a felony charge of accidents involving death or personal injury. The state Supreme Court said it would not hear an appeal of the felony charge. Recently, Panowicz’s attorneys filed court papers notifying Brown they intend to use a mental infirmity defense in the case. Panowicz has a “longstanding disorder,” a post-traumatic stress disorder, that causes her to avoid stressful situations by “attempting to over self control,” they say. “The events which caused her to have post-traumatic stress rendered her incapable of appre- ciating the significance or consequences of her behavior and affect- ed her ability to determine what was right or wrong at that crucial moment,” the attorneys wrote. Attorneys in Megan Panowicz’s hit-and-run case face newchallenge later this month SHEENA DELAZIO [email protected] George Lee Barnes, 23, taken from Luzerne County Court in wheelchair due to medical emergency WILKES-BARRE — A Luzerne County judge on Thursday heard testimony in the homicide case of George Lee Barnes as his attorneys tried to have evidence in the case thrown out. Judge Michael Vough apparently will have to wait until next week to hear the rest of the testimony, as Barnes suffered a medical emergency during the court pro- ceeding and had to be taken to a hospital. Barnes, 23, is charged with killing Daron Rhashan Trollinger, 26, at an Edwardsville apartment complex on May 16. Barnes shot Trollinger during a mar- ijuana sale inside an apartment building at Eagle Ridge on Beverly Drive, according to state police at Wyoming. Barnes was captured by U.S. Marshals in Philadelphia on May 25. Assistant district attorneys Molly Hanlon Mirabito and Brian Coleman were in the process of calling witness- es to testify that Barnes had agreed to allow police to obtain DNA and other evidence when Barnes became ill. The courtroom was emptied and, within minutes, paramedics took Barnes from the courtroom in a wheelchair. Vough said the hearing will resume next week, depending on Barnes’ health. Barnes’ attorneys, John Pike and Paul Galante, were seeking to have the evidence thrown out, and prosecutors called Edwardsville police officer Charles Benson, state Trooper Stephen Polishan and former state Trooper Richard Weinstock. The officers testified they were notified of the shooting and were told to go to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center to ensure the safety of a gunshot victim — Barnes. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and a bullet grazed his forehead. The officers testified Barnes agreed to search warrants, appeared to be coherent and was speaking with police. Weinstock testified Barnes told him he went to visit a friend at the apartment complex, but his friend was not home so he was in the process of leaving when a Hispanic male pointed a gun at his head. Barnes said there was a struggle and the gun went off a number of times, so he fled. While running, Barnes became short of breath and realized he had been shot. He went to his nearby home and his girlfriend called 911. Barnes said the man with whom he struggled was someone familiar, but that he could not remember the man’s name, according to testimony. Barnes said he could identify the man’s clothing and some tattoos, and recognized him to be in the “Philly mafia” street gang. Pete G.

Librarian Joann Prushinski has been transferred from the middle school and is now covering the libraries at three elementary schools. At present, there is no certified librarian at the middle school. A grievance has been filed by the teachers union over the transfer. Mike Harper of Kingston presented the board with a petition bearing over 800 names asking the board to reinstate a certified librarian at the middle school. The petition stated WVWmiddle school students are first exposed to an online catalog and databases at the middle school level and that the absence of a librarian would deprive them of needed skills. “The love of books, the love of reading and the inspiration of research depends on this,” Harper said. “Kids need every resource they can get,” he said. Another resident got angry over the situation and said that the lack of a librarian at the middle school was “obscene.” “Our kids can’t even get a book!” he said. A third resident asked the board what could be done about the situation. Board President Gordon Dussinger said nothing could be done as long as the grievance process was ongoing. After the meeting, Dussinger said the new plan was for the middle school teachers to bring their students to the library. “We call it a resource center,” he said. Dussinger admitted the board might have to rethink the plan. “It might not work out,” he said. “If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.” The board heard a presentation on the proposed 501 (c) (3) foundation for the district. The Spartan Foundation will allow the district to solicit tax-deductible donations from private individuals and fromcorporations. The board hired Glenda Hammersley as an occupational therapist at a salary of $47,500 plus a $1,040 2013 stipend. WVWboard hears complaints about library changes JOE HEALEY [email protected] PITTSTON — Housing issues were the primary focus of the City Council meeting Wednesday night. The meeting was domi- nated by parties upset about the recently beefed- up city rental inspection and safety ordinance. Also, council appointed former Mayor Michael Lombardo to the city’s Housing Authority. Several landlords, a lawyer and former con- gressional candidate Laureen Cummings, of Old Forge, who repre- sents the Lackawanna, Luzerne and Monroe Counties Homeowner, Landlord and Tenant Association, raised concerns to council about the law. Council in June updated an ordinance requiring biennial safety and fire inspections of all rental units and businesses. The goal, officials have said, is to protect the health and safety of residents and to clean dilapidated and neglected properties. Cummings said the ordinance, similar to ones recently passed in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and East Stroudsburg, is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens against unreasonable search and seizure. She said a federal, class- action lawsuit could be filed against the city. “This is a constitu- tional quandary,” said Cummings. “The people need to stand up and say ‘This is wrong, you cannot go into somebody’s home.’ ” Solicitor Sam Falcone said he would be willing to review any case law that is brought before him, but he’s sure the city’s ordinance is on solid footing. “We’re finding out the 10-day restriction may be too tight, we’re finding out that certain things have to be relaxed,” Falcone said. “But none of this is unconstitutional. If you have a federal or state case that says it’s unconstitutional, I’ll be happy to read it.” Meanwhile, Lombardo was appointed to the Housing Authority. He will replace Tony Guariglia, whose term has expired. The Klush administration is making the move as part of the Neighborhood Housing Stabilization and Development Initiative, announced last year. Lombardo, a member of a the city’s Redevelopment Authority, said there’s a “required overlap” between the Housing and Redevelopment authorities and he welcomes the opportunity to bridge the gap.

Council passedsevenreso- lutions, as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, to recalibrate all of the lights so they will be synchro- nized. Officials have said the gap between the Columbus Street and the Broad Street lights is too large and people are speeding through the downtown. City officials and PennDOT agree the new light will act as a “traffic-calming mecha- nism.” • The Traffic Committee notified council a stop sign should be placed at the Thompkins and West Frothingham street intersection. • The city hired Stephen Nowroski, of Swoyersville, as a building code officer with a yearly salary of $56,000.

Devitt, of Carverton Road, saidit was necessary to effectively abandon his home on Friday and Saturday nights because the bar’s noise “pen- etrates my home.” He said the area was zoned as residential. “I believe several township regulations preclude this type of activity which inter- feres with the quiet reasonable enjoyment of my home,” he said. Devitt and his wife shared an audio tape that they said reflected a high level of noise coming fromthe bar. “You are now responsible for what happens on upcoming weekends,” he said. Police Chief Jim Balavage said he was aware the bar had previously been cited for excessive noise by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. “We will have our administrative staff look into this and report back to the board,” said member JimReino. In another matter, the board approved the renewal of PennDOT’s winter services agreement in anticipation of upcoming weather events. The board also approved the installation of two GPS units, facilitating traffic flow in the township by PennDOT. The township will absorb 20 percent of the cost the project, or $900. The board approved the purchase of nine computers for the administration and police department at a cost of $6,024. Township Manager Kathleen Sebastian said the items were budgeted. The board took a moment to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

GARRETROGAN Times Leader Correspondent LUZERNE — Borough Council promoted police officer Anthony Kowalczyk to the rank of acting corporal during Wednesday night’s regular council meeting. The borough’s current chief of police, Patty O’Donnell, is out on work- man’s comp with an injury, but officials refused to elabo- rate on howsevere the injury is or when she might return to duty. Cpl. Mike Kotwasinski, who would normally assume lead officer duties in O’Donnell’s absence, is himself hospitalized with a stomach illness. Kowalczyk has been with the Luzerne Police Department since its incep- tion in 2010 and has previously worked as an officer in Swoyersville. In other matters, borough officials took time to remind the public that a portion of the borough’s Main Street will be closed, Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Annual Pumpkin Festival, formerly known as the Fall Festival. It was also announced the borough will conduct a used tire pickup on Thursday Oct. 10. Any Luzerne resident with tires to dispose of may call the borough offices at (570) 287-7633 any time before Oct. 10 to arrange to have their tires collected picked up.

The killing of Omar Hammami, a native of Daphne, Alabama, might discourage other would-be jihadis from the U.S. and elsewhere from traveling to Somalia, terrorism experts said. Hammami, who was known as Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, or “the American,” was killed in an ambush in southern Somalia following months on the run after falling out with al-Sha- bab’s top leader, militants said. Reports of Hammami’s death have cropped up every few months in Somalia, only for him to resurface a short while later. But J.M. Berger, a U.S. terrorism expert who closely follows the inner workings of al-Shabab, said he thinks the current death reports are accurate. The rebels did not immediately present proof of Hammami’s death. Hammami was highly critical of Shabab’s leadership over the past year and freely shared his views in Internet videos and on Twitter, making him a marked man. Somalia has been an attractive destination for foreign fighters, and about two dozen Somali-Americans from Minneapolis have joining al-Shabab in the past several years. Hammami’s death will hurt the group’s recruitment efforts, said Abdirizak Bihi, an advocate for the Somali community in Minnesota and the uncle of a young man killed in Somalia in 2008. Along with Adam Gadahn in Pakistan — a former Osama bin Laden spokesman — the 29-year-old Hammami was one of the two most notorious Americans in jihadi groups. He grew up in Daphne, a community of 20,000 outside Mobile, the son of a Christian mother and a Syrian-born Muslim father. His YouTube videos that featured him rapping and his presence on Twitter made him one of the most recognizable and studied U.S. foreign fighters. The FBI put Hammami on its Most Wanted Terrorist list in 2012 and offered a $5 million reward in March for information leading to his capture. U.S. prosecutors had charged Hammami with providing material support to terrorists. PITTSBURGH Zoo says mauling was mom’s fault The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium says the mother of a 2-year-old boy who was fatally mauled when he fell into a wild African dogs exhibit is to blame for her son’s death and shouldn’t be allowed to sue. The zoo’s attorneys made that argument in a response filed this week to the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by Jason and Elizabeth Derkosh, whose son, Maddox, died Nov. 4 after falling over a 4-foot-tall wooden railing into the exhibit when his mother lifted him up to get a better look. The parents’ attorney, Robert Mongeluzzi, said the zoo “failed miser- ably in their solemn responsibility to prevent the attack” and has “now shameless- ly attacked Maddox’s grieving mother. We look forward to exposing their reck- less conduct, in discovery, and at trial.” Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. investigated the boy’s death and deemed it a “tragic accident,” deciding not to prosecute his mother or zoo officials on endangerment or other charges. LAKELAND, FLA. Girl kills herself afer online taunts A 12-year-old Florida girl committed suicide after she was bullied online by more than a dozen girls, and a sheriff said Thursday that he is investigating whether he can file charges under Florida’s new law that covers cyber-bul- lying. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said that Rebecca Ann Sedwick jumped to her death on Monday at an old cement business in Lakeland, a city between Tampa and Orlando. Investigators say the girl was despondent after others had posted hate messages about her online. The Lakeland Ledger reported detec- tives found multiple social media applications in which Sedwick was constantly bullied with messages, including “Go kill yourself,” and “Why are you still alive?” TOKYO N. Korea warned over reactor restart A U.S. special envoy said Thursday that any move by North Korea to restart a nuclear reactor would be a “very serious matter” and violate United Nations Security Council resolutions. A U.S. research institute said Wednesday that a recent satellite image appears to show that North Korea is restarting its plutonium reactor at the Nyongbyon nuclear facility, which was shuttered in 2007 under the terms of a six-nation disarmament agreement. U.S. special envoy for North Korea Glyn Davies told reporters in Tokyo on Thursday that if the report is true, it would be a violation of North Korea’s past commitments.

Reports: American jihadi killed in Somalia Former Alabama resident had been on FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list since 2012 The Associated Press Women outpace men in job recovery WASHINGTON — U.S. women have recovered all the jobs they lost to the Great Recession. The same can’t be said for men, who remain 2.1 million jobs short. The biggest factor is that men dominate construction and manufacturing — industries that have not recovered millions of jobs lost during the downturn. By contrast, women have made up a disproportion- ate share of workers in those that have been hiring — retail, education, health care, restaurants and hotels. “It’s a segregated labor market, and men and women do work in different industries, and even in different areas within industries,” says Heidi Hartmann, an economist and president of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. The gap was evident in the August unemployment rates: 6.8 percent for women, 7.7 percent for men. In August, 68 million women said they were employed, passing the more than the 67.97 million who had jobs when the recession began in December 2007, the government says. Among men, 76.2 million were employed last month, down from 78.3 million in December 2007. Since June 2009, one of the largest gains occurred in a measure of education and health services jobs. That category added nearly 1.6 million jobs, second most of any industry. And women gained nearly 1.1 million of those jobs. Women have made big gains in professional and business services, a grab-bag category that includes architects, engineers, information technology workers and temps. Women also make up more than half of the workforce in hotels and restaurants, which has posted the third-largest gain of any industry. Despite the job gains, the percentage of women working or looking for work has been drop- ping, just as it has for men. The so-called labor force participation rate for women was 57.3 last month, down from 59.4 percent in December 2007. For men, the participation rate has dropped to 69.5 percent, from 73.1 percent. Both men and women have been retiring, enrolling in school, registering for Social Security disability payments and just giving up on a weak job market. Afer Great Recession, women fare slightly better as sectors such as health care, education rebound CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writers NASA says the 36-year-old spacecraf has lef the boundaries of the solar system ALICIACHANG APScience Writer LOS ANGELES — Voyager 1 has crossed a new frontier, becoming the first spacecraft ever to leave the solar system, NASA said Thursday. Thirty-six years after it was launched from Earth on a tour of the outer planets, the plutonium-powered probe is more than 11 1/2 billion miles from the sun, cruising through interstellar space — the vast, cold emptiness between the stars, the space agency said. Voyager 1 actually made its exit more than a year ago, according to NASA. But it’s not as if there’s a dotted boundary line or a signpost out there, and it was not until recently that scientists with the space agency had enough evidence to say that the probe had finally plowed through the hot plasma bubble surrounding the planets and escaped the sun’s influence. While some scientists remain uncon- vinced, NASA celebrated with a news conference featuring the theme from “Star Trek.” “We got there,” said mission chief scientist Ed Stone of the California Institute of Technology, adding that the spacecraft was “setting sail in the cosmic seas between the stars.” While Voyager 1 may have left the solar system as most people understand it, it still has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years to go before bidding adieu to the last icy bodies that make up our neighborhood. Voyager 1 will now study exotic par- ticles and other phenomena in a never- before-explored part of the universe lit- tered with ancient star explosions and radio the data back to Earth, where the Voyager team awaits the starship’s dis- coveries. The interstellar ambassador also carries a gold-plated disc containing mul- ticultural greetings, songs and photos, just in case it bumps into an intelligent species. Voyager 1 ventures out into the universe Marathon bombing victims, vets bond MARKPRATT and BRIDGETMURPHY AssociatedPress BOSTON — Wounded veterans and Boston Marathon bombing survivors met Thursday in Boston to share their stories of strength and resilience. Marc Fucarile, who lost his leg in the marathon bombings, said he was inspired by the veterans’ stories and honored to meet them. “They knew what they were risking when they signed up, and that’s amazing to me,” the 34-year-old from Stonehamsaid. A dozen military veterans who have undergone amputa- tions gatheredat a Bostonhotel to meet 11 marathon amputees as part of aneffort byaChicago- area nonprofit called Operation Warrior Wishes. They planned to go together Thursday night to the New England Patriots’ home season opener against the NewYork Jets. “I have never met a stronger group than the wounded warriors and the victims of the marathon bombing,” Mayor Tom Menino said. “They are the most courageous and resil- ient folks we have.” Chris Claude, a 33-year-old Marine Corps veteran who lives in Blakeslee, Pa., said meeting with marathon amputees would be his chance to provide the kind of support he got after the amputation of his right leg above the knee after a 2005 bomb blast in Iraq. He also likes the idea of the amputees coming out on the field together. “It’s another way for people in the crowd to see the human spirit can’t be broken,” he said. Veteran Michael Fox of San Diego, a 28-year-old who lost both legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in November 2011, said the veterans and marathon victims are like- minded people in similar situations. “You have to keep a sense of humor,” he said. “It keeps your morale up and helps keep you going. If we can give them any inspiration, it’s a bonus.” The founders of Operation Warrior Wishes, Craig Steichen, 55, and his son Matt, 29, went on a quest last year to bring wounded vets to football games at 32 NFL stadiums in 17 weeks. Craig Steichen said they met their goal, and even picked up a world record in the meantime for game attendance. But with the Patriots game Thursday, Steichen said, the nonprofit was interested in not only bringing wounded vets, but also getting them together with marathon amputees. Mery Daniel, a 31-year-old medical school graduate who lost part of her left leg in the marathon bombings, said that while marathon amputees didn’t enlist to fight a war, they were exposed to the same kind of violence. “We share now a common bond,” said Daniel, who lives in Boston. “We share similar stories and similar injuries.” Operation Warrior Wishes will be collecting donations on its website through Sept. 22. The donations will be divided between the nonprofit and The One Fund, which benefits marathon victims.

PAGE 6A Friday, September 13, 2013 NEWS www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER PHOENIX, ARIZONA— If Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone leaned over the counter and whispered, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,” he would be a rich man today. It’s a question he’s heard count- less times in his 45-year career. He has seen families torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mental decline, a silent condition that threat- ens the independent lifestyle seniors hold so dearly. In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slow mental decline, he fnally found the answer in the pages of an obscure medical journal. “I was studying materials about memory loss and cognitive decline, and there it was, right in front of me... evidence of a real memory pill!” “At the time, I was an anchor for a medical program in Los Angeles. I was so excited that I contacted the author of the research and invited him to come on the program as a guest.” “I wanted millions of listeners to learn about this important new development!” Dr. Steiner’s guest that night, US researcher, Josh Reynolds, observed a common ‘disturbance’ in aging brains, one that may be the primary cause of degrading memory and concentration powers. Gasping for Air? He saw evidence that older brains were ‘gasping for additional oxygen,’ a condition caused by poor blood circulation. “Insuffcient circulation,” says Stein- er, “reduces oxygen to the brain, a sign of premature mental decline. This also restricts the supply of critical brain spe- cifc antioxidants and nutrients.” Reduced blood flow has another brain-numbing effect: it slashes the number of neurotransmitters in the brain, the messenger molecules used by the brain to help form thoughts, retrieve memories, and help its owner stay focused and on-task. Fewer neurotransmitters circu- lating in the brain translates to concentration and memory woes. So, Reynolds and a team of scientists developed a natural, drug- free compound shown in research to prompt aging brains to begin to ‘think and react,’ younger. Tired Brains Snap Awake! “It helps tired, forgetful brains to ‘snap awake,” says Dr. Steiner. “This natural memory pill is to your aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs,” he says. It works so well, explains Steiner, that the participants in a peer-reviewed, international research study not only saw improve- ments in their memory, mood and concentration, but they also regained lost brainpower equal to that of someone 15 years younger, all in a 30-day time period! This made perfect sense to Dr. Steiner, who knew instinctively that age-related memory problems may be correctable. After the Show After the show, Dr. Steiner confded to his guest that he was fearful of not being able to recall certain subject matter for his popular radio show. “He gave me a couple of bottles and instructed me on its use,” says Dr. Steiner. “Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear!” Feeding an Older Brain The formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins. It also helps restore depleted neu- rotransmitter levels, while feeding the aging mind with brain-specific nutrients and protective antioxidants. Steiner was so impressed that he began recommending the formula to his pharmacy customers. “I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!” Pharmacy Best-Seller “It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.” “It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula.” “A rookie doctor right out of medical school can set a broken bone, or treat a rash or runny nose,” explains Dr. Steiner. “But he is often clueless when it comes to helping a patient who can’t remember to take his medicine, or forgets where he’s parked his car, or even worse, foolishly leaves the oven on at night.” “With this simple, drug-free formula, we finally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective. And you don’t need a prescription either!” Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehensive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence examination, a daunting examination that tests a candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law. “I began taking the natural memory compound for two weeks prior to the test, and I passed with flying colors!” “The recall I personally experienced was fantastic,” says Steiner. Many frontline healthcare professionals are embracing this natural rem- edy for three reasons. First, the formula was submitted to the rigors of a placebo-controlled, ran- domized, double-blind clinical trial, using the same FDA-sanctioned brain testing protocols used to qualify prescription-sold cognitive medicines. “The fndings for improved brain function were shocking,” says Steiner. Then, the results were shared with the world in a well-respected, peer- reviewed medical journal. #1 Selling Brain Health Pill Thirdly, this natural, memory-boost- ing wonder has passed the toughest yardstick of all – scrutiny from the US consumer. Word has spread; in a very short time, Reynolds’ memory-booster has quickly become the #1-selling brain health supplement in the United States. Dr. Steiner estimates that as much as 10 million single-doses have been used with excellent results by ‘lots of forgetful folks.’ Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory compound with bolstering his confidence. “It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more confdent every day.” Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much more focused and with the new energy I’m now ready to tackle the things I’ve been putting off for years!” Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a night-and-day difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory was declining at an “alarming rate.” “I was about to consult a n e u r o l o g i s t when I read a newspaper article about it.” “It took about a month for the memory beneft to kick in. Six months later, even my husband was impressed with my improved memory. And I am very happy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!” “I highly recommend it,” says Dr. Steiner. “This drug-free compound is the perfect supplement for increasing one’s brain power.

PAID ADVERTISEMENT W I L K E S - B A R R E — A man serving a 13-to-26-year sentence on charges he sexually assaulted a teenage girl over several years was re-sentenced Thursday to one less year. Chad Benner, 40, formerly of Ranshaw, Pa., was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley to 12 to 24 years in prison after the state Superior Court ruled Benner’s original sentence be vacated and one charge be dismissed because prosecutors did not present enough evidence for him to be convicted on that charge. The high court ruled a charge of indecent assault was not proven during Benner’s April 2011 jury trial, and Benner needed to be re-sentenced on two additional charges of indecent assault and one count of involun- tary deviate sexual intercourse. Polachek Gartley sentenced Benner exactly the way former Judge Joseph Van Jura did in July 2011, minus the one indecent assault charge. Polachek Gartley also said Benner will receive two years and 11 months of credit for time already served, and must register his address under Megan’s Law for his entire life. At the time of Benner’s original sentencing, Van Jura said Benner was receiving a lengthy prison stay because he had two prior convictions on similar charges, including one when he was enlisted in the military. Benner previously had been deemed a sexually violent predator by the state Sexual Offender’s Assessment Board in September 2005, after he pleaded guilty to criminal attempt to commit unlawful contact with a minor. At Benner’s April 2011 trial, the then-22-year- old woman testified she was about 14 when Benner allegedly began forcing her to perform lewd sex acts, which took place from July 2002 to September 2004 in Wilkes-Barre. She reported the alleged abuse to police in December 2008 after her memory was trig- gered when her husband hugged and kissed her from behind, according to court papers. She said she didn’t want to tell anyone because she was afraid of what they might think of her. Man resentenced in sex assault case SHEENA DELAZIO [email protected] Chad Benner, 40, to serve one less year in jail afer high court rules one charge should be dismissed WILKES-BARRE — Two city men were arrested and drugs, weapons and cash were seized Wednesday morning after multiple law enforcement agencies converged on two homes in the city with drug trafficking search warrants. Arrested were Patrick Miller, 25, of Carlisle Street, and Junior Comas, 28, of Coal Street. Members of the Wilkes- Barre Police Drug Task Force, Wilkes-Barre Police Anti Crime Unit, state police Troop P Vice Unit and the state Attorney General’s Office Bureau of Narcotics Investigation executed the warrants at 216 Carlisle St., Apartment 2, at about 6:30 a.m., and 145 N. Sherman St., Apartment 103, at about 7 a.m. According to court papers: • Officers detained Miller at the Carlisle Street apartment and seized suspected crack cocaine, a digital scale, packaging materials, three televisions and more than $28,000 in currency. At the Sherman Street apartment in Interfaith heights, police found two loaded pistols. • Officers learned that Lateesha Lundy, the renter of the Sherman Street apartment, was in the hospital. In an interview, she told police Miller had been her boyfriend for four years, and she would help him make money by selling drugs for him. She said she would argue with him about keeping guns at her apartment because she has children. He kept the guns there because he was on probation and his apartment was subject to search, Lundy told police. • Using wiretaps, investigators learned a confidential informant set up drug buys from Miller on Sept. 3 and 9. Allegedly at Miller’s direc- tion, Lundy and Comas allegedly provided crack cocaine to the informant at the Sherman Street apartment and at 292 Coal St., Apartment 111. • Police found Comas at the Coal Street apartment shortly after the search warrants were served on Sherman and Carlisle streets. When officers knocked on the front door and identified themselves, they heard a toilet flushing multiple times. Comas and the owner, Sophia Griffin, eventually answered the door and gave police permission to search the apartment, in which they found $2,245 in cash and a business card for a federal probation officer, who advised them that Comas is on federal supervised release. Miller was charged in three separate complaints with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, unau- thorized possession of firearms, and two counts each of criminal conspiracy and criminal use of a communications facility. Comas was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy. Both were arraigned Wednesday night before District Judge Ronald Swank in Mountain Top. Miller’s bail was set at $25,000 for each complaint for a total of $75,000. Comas’ bail was set at $25,000. Both were jailed at the county prison. Miller’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 17 before District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre. Comas’ is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 19 before District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes- Barre. Searches of W-B homes lead to 2 drug arrests STEVE MOCARSKY [email protected] Comas Miller NICHOLSON — Fundraisers from Williams Energy hope to double their money, that is, money raised for United Way groups across Northeast Pennsylvania. At last year’s BBQ Cook-Off in Nicholson, the pipeline company raised $40,000 to be spread around United Way chapters in the Wyoming Valley, Susquehanna County and Wyoming County. The Broome County, N.Y., chapter received money, as well. Organizers are attempting to double that contribution during their BBQ Cook-Off today at Nicholson Carnival Grounds in Wyoming County. Williams Northeast Spokeswoman Helen Humphreys said they invite their neighbors and subcontractors to compete in the cook- off. Many contributions come as large donations from their partners. United Way of the Wyoming Valley received $5,000 from last year’s fundraiser, according to chapter President Bill Jones. Williams, headquar- tered in Texas, operates the Transco pipeline and its extensions, which run from the Gulf of Mexico to New York City. They manage infrastructure for many natural gas wells and compressor stations in the Marcellus Shale region, as well. Williams matches each dollar raised for the United Way groups. The eating’s pretty good, too, Humphreys said, who is a board member of the United Way of the Wyoming Valley. “One of the things the Marcellus has done, it has brought people from other parts of the country,” Humphreys said. “They’re bringing bits of the culture with them. You’ll hear them boast about their BBQs. People take a great deal of pride in their BBQ.” The event opens up new revenue streams for the United Way, Jones said. Donors get involved who normally don’t contribute to charity. “This …is a unique event that people have really responded to. And they’ve brought new resources to the United Ways through this innovative fundraising,” Jones said. “There are businesses (in Luzerne County) that are suppliers, that are a part of the gas industry. It’s another way for those suppliers to get an idea of what the United Way does.” Pipeline company cooks up aid for United Way JON O’CONNELL [email protected] Benner “One of the things the Marcellus has done, it has brought people from other parts of the country.

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

Jamie Krenitsky agreed to the plea deal Thursday. Krenitsky was suspended as captain of the Old Forge Police Department after being chargedlast year withtwoother men. He resigned last week in advance of his court appearance. Krenitsky and Old Forge Police Chief Larry Semenza were charged with sexually assaulting the girl beginning in 2004 when she a 15-year-old junior firefighter. Semenza is scheduled to go on trial in October on charges of unlawful contact with a minor, indecent exposure and corruption of a minor. Former borough firefighter Walter Chiavacci, also accused of sexually abusing the girl, pleaded guilty to indecent assault in December. Former Old Forge chief pleads guilty in teen assault TheAssociatedPress GILBERTON — A Northeastern Pennsylvania police chief suspended for posting videos in which he fired borough-owned automatic weapons while shouting obscenities is mount- ing a write-in candidacy for sheriff. Gilberton Chief Mark Kessler announced his candidacy for Schuylkill County sheriff via social media. He says onhis Facebook page that he’s running to break the “death grip of career politicians” on both sides of the aisle. Kessler’s pro-gun videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views online. They show him shouting about the Second Amendment and liberals while spraying machine- gun fire. Borough council said he didn’t have the borough’s permission to use the weapons and suspended him indefinitely. Kessler’s disciplinary hearing is scheduled for next week. He has said he expects to be fired. Suspended police chief to seek election as sherif MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press HARRISBURG — A Pennsylvania judge on Thursday ordered a suburban Philadelphia court clerk to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and the clerk said he would comply but is considering an appeal. Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini said Montgomery County Register of Wills D. Bruce Hanes did not have the power to decide on his own whether Pennsylvania’s same-sex marriage ban violates the state constitu- tion. “Unless and until either the General Assembly repeals or suspends the Marriage Law provisions or a court of competent jurisdiction orders that the law is not to be obeyed or enforced, the Marriage Law in its entirety is to be obeyed and enforced by all commonwealth public officials,” Pellegrini wrote. Hanes said he was disappointed. “The decision to issue a marriage license was not made in haste, and what we’re going to do next, based on this decision from the court, will not be made in haste,” Hanes said. It was not immediately clear what the decision will mean for the 174 couples who obtained licenses. The state Health Department under Republican Gov. Tom Corbett took Hanes to court after he began issuing licenses to same-sex couples in July, despite a 1996 state law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. The department argued that Hanes’ actions could create chaos. James Schultz, Corbett’s general counsel, issued a statement saying the key issue was whether local officials can decide which laws to uphold or reject, based on their personal legal opinion. “We respect the inter- ests and dignity of all the parties involved in this case, but we are a government of laws and it is important that all office holders across the state enforce those laws Pa. judge orders halt to same-sex marriage licenses It was not immediately clear what the decision will mean for the 174 couples who obtained licenses uniformly,” Schultz said. A separate challenge to Pennsylvania’s same-sex marriage ban is pending in federal court. Robert Heim, a lawyer for some of the same-sex couples who obtained licenses from Hanes, noted that Pellegrini said the legality of the licenses was not an issue before him. “The 32 couples that I represent are going to have to decide whether they also want to litigate it in the Commonwealth Court, since Judge Pellegrini vir- tually invited it,” Heim said.

Wilkes-Barre Chamber hosts golf tournament When President Obama asked Congress to authorize a military attack against Syria, he said the goal was to “hold the Assad regime accountable for their use of chemical weapons, deter this kind of behavior and degrade their capacity to carry it out.” Can the same objectives be accom- plished through diplomacy? In his address to the nation Tuesday, Obama announced that he would pursue that possibility, even as he reserved the option of military action. That was the right call, but the diplomatic track must not be allowed to become a long and winding road to nowhere. What’s under discussion is a Russian proposal for “international control” of Syria’s chemical weapons and their “subsequent destruction.” It was broached by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after Secretary of State John F. Kerry suggested that Assad might avert U.S. military action by turning over “every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week.” Kerry added: “But he isn’t about to do it, and it can’t be done, obviously.” Then Syrian officials endorsed the idea and even suggested Syria would sign the Chemical Weapons Convention. An agreement that would truly put Syria’s chemical weapons “beyond use” would be a preferable alternative to military action. It would reaf- firm the international condemnation of chemical warfare and might prove just as successful as airstrikes in pre- venting future atrocities by the Assad government. It might even have a deterrent effect on other nations considering the use of nonconventional weapons. But will it work? Kerry has said that the United States seeks a “full resolution” of the U.N. Security Council, an apparent reference to a so-called Chapter 7 resolution that would authorize member states to use military force to implement it. So far Russia, which has veto power on the council, has resisted that approach. Even if the council were to approve a muscular resolution, Assad’s past mendacity in dealings with U.N. representatives raises concerns that he would obstruct weapons inspectors — who would be performing their duties in the midst of a civil war. Their jobs would not be easy. Monitors would need some measure of protection from the wars violence, and the process of identifying and destroying the weapons would have to be verifiable. There would also have to be serious consequences for noncom- pliance so that the process wouldn’t become a farce or a cat-and-mouse game reminiscent of the long effort to inspect Saddam Hussein’s supposed weapons of mass destruction. Notwithstanding these concerns, Obama’s decision to explore a diplomatic solution is a prudent one. We continue to believe that the use of chemical weapons against civilians requires a response from this country, ideally in concert with other nations. But, like the president, we hope that message can be effectively delivered other than by military might. Los Angeles Times OTHER OPINION: CHEMICAL WEAPONS Diplomacy in Syria is risky but prudent MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY Immediately after the conclusion of last year’s annual United Way campaign in the Wyoming Valley, the editorial pages of one of our local newspapers celebrated the success of the campaign, stating “cheers” to the donors who contributed to supporting the community. Under the leadership of Barb Toczko-Maculloch Sr., vice president of First Liberty Bank, and a committed campaign cabinet, the 2013 annual campaign is well underway — and we certainly hope the community will once again “cheer” at its successful conclusion. Most people recognize the United Way as a highly accountable and effective nonprofit fundraising organization. Each year, millions of dollars are raised and invested to improve the community. Critical needs are being met and lives are being changed because of the kindness of our donors. In celebrating the fundraising success of 2012, the newspaper also made a very powerful point by stating “no single other charity has the community-wide impact of the United Way.” Indeed! Last year, more than 53,000 individuals in our community were served by the 46 community-based programs funded by the United Way campaign. This is up from 42,000 the previous year and means more than one in six of us in the Wyoming Valley were assisted in some way by the generosity of donors who care about our community. While the United Way touches many lives in very meaningful ways, our impact is even greater and reaches beyond the funding of programs that most have come to recognize. The United Way of the Wyoming Valley is and will continue to be a community partner that has taken an important leadership role in a number of key areas to improve our community. For example: · For the past two years after the flooding in 2011, we chaired the Disaster Recovery Coalition of Luzerne County. · We administer the Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program in Luzerne County. · We are a critical component of the Rapid Response program to assist individuals impacted by downsizing and layoffs. · Weareamongthelargest scholarship organizations for the Commonwealth’s Education Improvement Tax Credit program in the county. · Through our “Success by 6” program, we have been a leading advocate for early-childhood education programs, and we have held a number of events to bring attention to the needs of children and families who live at and below the margins of society. · We manage and are the fiscal agent for the Northeast Regional HIV Planning Coalition. · We are an active member of the Luzerne County Homeless Coalition. · Our “Christmas in July Food Drive” is one of the largest annual food drives in Wyoming Valley, second only to the Letter Carriers Food Drive, which we also support. · We staff many of organized labor’s community service projects and support other initiatives on behalf of the community. · Our Day of Caring is the largest single volunteer effort every year in Luzerne County and provides thousands of in-kind service hours to assist the organizations that serve our community. · Through “Get Connected,” our online volunteer matching program, we promote the spirit of volunteerism by making information about volunteer opportunities more accessible. In each of the above examples of the United Way’s impact, and there are more, the words “we” and “our” are intentional. The United Way is driven by and is a reflection of the community — including donors, volunteers, partner agencies, the labor movement and all of us who are like-minded in support of the community. To borrow and para- phrase a line from Happy Valley, WE are the United Way. If the United Way is to have the kind of wide impact the community needs and deserves, WE can only be successful if WE are all successful together. Please consider supporting the 2013 annual campaign and be among those who care, and for whom, WE will cheer. Bill Jones is the president and CEOof the United Way of Wyoming Valley.

COMMENTARY: BILL JONES THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Friday, September 13, 2013 PAGE 11A Editorial The battle against the 11-alarm fire that ravaged a Dietz & Watson warehouse in Delanco last week was ham- pered by the building’s 7,000 solar panels. Fire Chief Ron Holt refused to allow firefighters on the roof for fear that they would be electrocuted. Other fire officials said the chief made the right decision given that the panels continue to generate electricity as long as they’re exposed to light, and many models lack an emergency switch. None of that should become an excuse to bash solar power. The safe development and use of clean energy can wean the country off dirty, climate-changing fuels. But the blaze in Burlington County can yield important lessons about fighting fires in solar-powered buildings. Such lessons are essential, considering that more and more homes and commercial structures are being fitted with solar panels. The technology is more widely used in New Jersey than in any other state besides California. The Sept. 1 Dietz & Watson fire drew responses from 40 fire departments, took 30 hours to contain and continued to smolder for days afterward. Three firefighters were injured, and the 260,000-square-foot building was destroyed. The cause remains undetermined. Dietz & Watson’s chief executive, Louis J. Eni Jr., told The Inquirer this week that employees had been working to make up for two weeks’ worth of lost meats and cheeses. Experts on fire safety and solar energy say a combination of better firefighter training and improved technology can help reduce the damage from future fires. William Kramer, New Jersey’s acting fire mar- shal, is confident that the challenge can be met, but he said it’s going to take time, study and technological progress. Firefighting has already evolved from extinguishing blazes in wooden structures to today’s efforts in buildings containing complex materials that emit toxic fumes when ignited. It can evolve again to handle fires in buildings with solar arrays and other green technologies. New Jersey already requires anyone installing solar panels to report their presence to local fire departments, and some training is available to help fire departments deal with the technology. But industry officials say firefighters need to be trained more thoroughly on the nuances of solar energy. They have a point. The solar industry is also developing two promising safety technologies. One stops transmission of electricity from solar arrays when power is cut off, though the solar panels themselves would still maintain a charge. Another advance could reduce the voltage in panels to less dangerous levels. Once these technologies are reliable, buildings with older solar panels should be retrofitted. And training for firefighters should be strengthened. As the Dietz & Watson fire showed, the cost of such measures is outweighed by the danger to lives and property. Philadelphia Inquirer OTHER OPINION: CLEAN ENERGYAND SAFETY Solar panels change fre-fghting tactics Broken families are true problem Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the jury verdict that acquitted George Zimmerman of killing Trayvon Martin “questionable.” I do not recall Powell questioning a predominately black jury of letting O.J. Simpson walk free despite overwhelming evidence of his guilt. Powell was once considered a possible Republican presidential candidate, and yet he endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Did the fact that Obama is black have anything to do with it? I certainly think so. Recently, I read in the Philadelphia Inquirer that the mayor and police chief in that city, both of whom are black, said that if a white man murdered a black man, both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be expressing outrage, and yet they are silent about the hundreds of blacks killing blacks. Those two should concern themselves about the dissolution of the black family, in which 73 percent of black children reportedly are born out of wedlock. With no father figure to guide them, they are easily led to gangs and illegal drug activity, 0ften resulting in violence. Look at all the shootings in our backyard. While I am doubtful it will happen, it would be enlightening if Jackson and Sharpton would quit blaming racism and put the onus on the black community — where it belongs.

That can result in tragedies we don’t even want to contem- plate.” Casey said residents of rural areas and small towns can sometimes feel removed from Washington and Congress and that disconnect can make them feel their issues are not noticed and not addressed. “This is one way Washington can come together in bipartisan way,” he said. “We can focus on something as basic as how we move goods, commerce and people in small towns across the Commonwealth and the country.” Casey said the $74 million Pennsylvania received for these bridges last year was more than any other state outside of California. According to information provided by Casey’s office: • Off-system bridges are not on the federal-aid highway system. Instead, they are found on public roads that are owned and operated by local govern- ments. • There are more than 590,000 bridges in the U.S. and more than 50 percent are off-system. • More than one out of every four off-system bridges across the country are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Of those, 35 percent are functionally obsolete • In three counties — McKean, Schuylkill, and Potter — more than 40 percent of the bridges are structurally deficient. Casey said the state Senate recently passed a bill that would significantly increase transportation funding for the state, but the state House has not yet taken action. As a result the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation recently put weight restrictions on a significant number of bridges. From page 1A Bridges meeting with their Russian counterparts in Geneva, insisted on a speedier Syrian accounting of their stockpiles. Assad’s remarks to Russia’s state Rossiya 24 news channel were his first since the Russian plan was announced Monday as a way to avert a potential U.S. military strike in response to the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds near Damascus. He said Syria is relin- quishing control over its chemical weapons because of Russia. “We agreed to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international supervision in response to Russia’s request and not because of American threats,” Assad said. “In my view, the agreement will begin to take effect a month after its sign- ing, and Syria will begin turning over to international organizations data about its chemical weapons,” Assad added. He said this is “standard procedure” and that Syria will stick to it. “There is nothing standard about this process,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry retorted in Geneva, because Assad has used his chemical weapons. “The words of the Syrian regime in our judgment are simply not enough.” Syria had long rejected joining the Chemical Weapons Convention, which requires all parties to the treaty to declare and destroy whatever chemical weapons they may possess. Assad said the Russian deal was a two-sided process. “We are counting, first of all, on the United States stop conducting the policy of threats regarding Syria,” he said. Syria’s Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil also suggested on Thursday that the Russian proposal will succeed only if the United States and its allies pledge not to attack Syria in the future. “We want a pledge that neither it (the U.S.) nor anyone else will launch an aggression against Syria,” Jamil said in Damascus. But Kerry cautioned that a U.S. military strike could occur if Assad doesn’t agree to dismantle his chemical arsenal properly. “There ought to be consequences if it doesn’t take place,” he said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, however, said the dismantling “will make unnecessary any strike against the Syrian Arab Republic.” Syria’s top rebel commander, meanwhile, slammed the Russian proposal, calling for Assad to be put on trial for allegedly ordering the Aug. 21 attack. Many rebels had held out hopes that U.S.-led punitive strikes on Assad’s forces would help tip the scales in their favor in Syria’s civil war, which has claimed more than 100,000 lives so far. Gen. Salim Idris’ statement was broadcast on pan-Arab satellite channels hours before talks in Geneva between Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. “We call upon the international community, not only to withdraw the chemical weapons that were the tool of the crime, but to hold accountable those who committed the crime in front of the International Criminal Court,” Idris said. He added that the Free Syrian Army “categorically rejects the Russian initiative” as falling short of the expectations of rebel fighters. The U.S. accuses Assad’s government of being behind the attack in the suburb of Ghouta. The U.S. says the attack killed 1,429 people; other estimates of the deaths are lower. Assad has denied responsibility and accuses U.S. officials of spreading lies without providing evidence. In the interview Thursday, he charged the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack was a “U.S.- organized provocation.” “The threats (of a military strike) are based on a provocation. It was arranged with the use of chemical weapons in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta,” he said. In Geneva, Kerry and a team of U.S. experts will have at least two days of meetings with their Russian counterparts. The Americans hope to emerge with an outline of how some 1,000 tons of chemical weapons stocks and precursor materials as well as potential delivery systems can be safely inven- toried and isolated under international control in an active war zone and then destroyed. In Washington, officials said the CIA has been delivering light machine guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, after President Barack Obama’s decision to arm the rebels. The agency also has arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti- tank weapons like rocket- propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that has been arming the rebels, a senior U.S. intelligence official and two former intelligence officials said Thursday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly. Loay al-Mikdad, a Free Syrian Army spokesman, told the AP that they have not received any weapons from the U.S. although they expect some in the near future. Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels fighting Assad’s forces on Thursday captured the village of Imm al-Lokas in the southern region of Quneitra near Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Britain-based activ- ist group added that rebels also captured several army posts in the area in heavy fighting that caused casual- ties on both sides. It also said that in the northeastern province of Hassakeh, clashes pitting Kurdish fghters against members of the al-Qaida- linked Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in the past two days killed 13 Kurdish gun- men and 35 militants. The two sides have been fighting in northern Syria for months in battles that left scores of people dead on both sides. Syrian state media said government troops advanced in the predomi- nantly Christian village of Maaloula near Damascus, capturing the main square as well as the Mar Takla convent where several nuns were staying. A resident in the village told the AP that troops were trying to capture a rebel-held hotel on a hill overlooking the area. The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, said most of the fighting Thursday was taking place in the western part of the village. Government troops are trying to flush out rebel units, including two linked to al-Qaida, from the hilltop enclave the rebels broke into last week. Most of the village’s 3,300 residents have fed to safer parts of the country, although some have remained, hunkering down in their homes, activists said. Maaloula, about 40 miles northeast of Damascus, had until recently been firmly in the regime’s grip despite being surrounded by rebel- held territory. The village was a major tourist attrac- tion before the civil war. Some of its residents still speak a version of Aramaic, a biblical language believed to have been used by Jesus.

She could not disclose when the complaint was filed. A Facebook posting on the Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch page earlier this week says a mother purchased a bottle of children’s chewable Advil for her daughter, who has an injured elbow. She opened the box in her car and and thought it was odd that the tablets were shifting in the bottle. When the mother arrived home, she discov- ered the seal on the bottle was broken and two different types of pills, neither of which were chewable Advil, according to the Facebook post. The woman claimed on the Facebook post there were 16 muscle relaxer pills and several unmarked, round green pills in the bottle. The woman could not be reached for comment.

From page 1A Sherman JERRYLYNOTT [email protected] WILKES-BARRE — All the heavy lifting was done at its earlier work session, and City Council on Thursday night breezed through the agenda that covered downtown development, demolition and an attempt to nudge the Congress to act on pending banking legislation. By a 5-0 vote council agreed: to hire Williams Kinsman Lewis Architecture of Wilkes-Barre at a cost of $68,500 for architectural and engineering services on the vacant First National Bank building on Public Square; to hire low-bidder Stell Enterprises of Plains Township at a cost of $9,500 to tear down a condemned house at 282 N. Pennsylvania Ave; to support an effort by the state General Assembly urging Congress to reinstate the separation of commercial and investment banking functions that were in effect under the Glass-Steagall Act that was repealed in 1999; to join the nationwide campaign “Drive4Pledges” on Sept. 19 to discourage texting while driving. Council further approved a number of ordinances including, reducing the speed limit on a section of Madison Street to 25 mph, issuing parking permits to non-resident owners of vacant properties and amend- ing the rules and regulations for hiring and promotions in the police department. Council Chairman Bill Barrett compli- mented Mayor Tom Leighton on the latest phase of the Streetscape project that involves the installation of new curbs and concrete sidewalks around Public Square at a cost of $1.2 million. But Barrett asked if anything can be done next year with the fountain at the center of the square. Leighton said the cost to repair the fountain would be in excess of $300,000 and the city does not have the money for the work. “I’mas anxious as you to find money to do it,” the mayor said. However, he was hesitant to support Barrett’s suggestion that the city apply for a grant from the state to use gambling rev- enues for the repairs. The city received $1.3 million in gambling funds for the First National Bank Building and will use some of the money to pay the architectural firm to determine the cost of repairing and stabilizing the building’s roof and masonry so that it can be developed.

POLicE BLOTTER TheAssociatedPress EDITOR’S NOTE: New England held on to defeat the NewYork Jets 13-10 Thursday night. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —TomBrady connected with rookie Aaron Dobson on a 39-yard touchdown pass and Devin McCourty set up another score with a 44-yard fumble return to help the New England Patriots take a 13-10 lead over the New York Jets heading into the fourth quarter Thursday night. After trailingby10points at halftime, whenator- rential rain began to fall, Geno Smith led NewYork on a third-quarter touchdown drive. Starting for the second straight week in place of injured Mark Sanchez, Smith ran for 16 yards to move the Jets into NewEngland territory. He then brought them tothe 3-yardline toset upBilal Powell’s touchdown run that made it 13-10 with 5:05 left in the third. Smith completed 12 of 23 passes for 159 yards through three quarters, while Brady was 13 of 29 for 150 yards. Withlongtime favorite receiver Wes Welker now in Denver and his replacement, Danny Amendola, out with a groin injury, Brady found Dobson alone inthe defensive backfieldonthe opening drive and hit himin stride on his way to the end zone. It was Brady’s 50th consecutive game with a touchdown pass, four short of Drew Brees’ NFL record. It was the first career catch for Dobson, a second-rounddraft pickwhodidnot playinWeek1 JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer CHICAGO — Joey Logano defended his place in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship on Thursday, rattling off his season statistics as proof he earned his spot in the 12-driver field regardless of any help he may have received in the deciding race. And make no mistake, Logano said: If anybody helped him at Richmond, he had no clue. The latest driver caught in the fallout of NASCAR’s investigation into Saturday night’s race at Richmond, Logano learned Wednesday that radio traffic appeared to show Front Row Racing’s crew chief and spotter talking about David Gilliland giving Logano a pivotal spot on the track in exchange for something unidentified from Penske Racing. There’s nothing in Penske radio transmissions to indicate wrong- doing, but NASCAR said Thursday it is still looking into the incident. “That is new stuff to me. Obviously there is no transcript on our radio of anything said about it (and) obviously I would have known about it if that was the case,” Logano said. Logano wondered if a discussion on top of the spotter stand would have been a big deal even if it did occur. “That is stuff that happens week in and week out with spotters. They are up there communicat- ing back and forth trying to work deals out — ‘Hey, help me out here, I will help you out here, let’s work together.’ That happens all the time,” Logano said. “I don’t look at it as being a big deal at all.” JOHNZENOR AP Sports Writer TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick Saban knows it’s become irrelevant whether fre- netic, no-huddle offenses are what he wants college football to be. In the case of No. 6 Texas A&M, they’re also awfully hard to slow down. That is the challenge Saturday for the top- ranked Crimson Tide at the Aggies’ Kyle Field. Preparing for this kind of uptempo offense was a focal point for the Tide during the offseason. Alabama (1-0, 0-0 SEC) was helpless against it in the first quarter of last season’s loss to Texas A&M (2-0, 0-0) before catching on and nearly rallying from a 20-0 deficit. The no-huddle offenses have become a staple of the college game — whether Saban likes it or not. Southeastern Conference opponents Mississippi, Kentucky and Auburn also run vari- ations. “There’s obviously some things you can’t do, and you have to realize that you can’t do these things,” Saban said. “I think we’ve all adapted to it more and more because we play against these teams more. When you play against it once or twice a year, I think it’s a tough adaptation for the players. But we played against it eight or nine times last year. We’ll probably play against it at least that much this year, so it’s becoming more the norm rather than the exception. “I think that players should be able to adapt to it more readily. I knowthat we’ve tried to prepare our players for it more and more because you always say, ‘OK, what did we see? How much did we see it? How does our practice reflect that?’” Saban caused a stir last October when he wondered aloud: “Is this what we want football to be?” Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, who runs his own variation of the no-huddle, offered very different takes at SEC media days about whether fast-paced offenses present an injury hazard to defensive players who can’t get relief from subs. Malzahn said he initially thought that theory was a joke and Bielema countered that he’s no comedian. timesleader.com THETIMES LEADER Friday, September 13, 2013 SPORTS Alabama ready to fast-forward against Texas A&M AP photo Jaxon Bailey paints the outline of the midfield logo at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas on Thursday in preparation for Saturday’s NCAA college football game between Texas A&M and Alabama. COLLEGE FOOTBALL ValleyWest thinking Scranton only Logano makes his case for innocence See ALABAMA | 3B See PATRIOTS | 3B JOHN ERZAR [email protected] Wyoming Valley West fans might be thinking about the straight trip down Route 11 South in two weeks. The Spartans, though, are concentrating completely on what would be a very crooked journey on Route 11 North tonight. Rival Berwick can wait, Valley West coach Pat Keating said, because the 7 p.m. game at Scranton is pivotal to the playoff chase. “Absolutely because from the (District) 2/4 part of the subregional this will be our second game,” Keating said. “We play every 4A school here in District 2. We had one last week and we knew it was important then. And it’s even more important now with Scranton being 2-0 and us being 2-0. It kind of puts the winning team in the driver’s seat as far as heading through the rest of the season for a 4A position.” Eight teams qualify for the D2/4-11 Class 4A playoffs — six from District 11 and two of the five fromthe D2/4 bracket. Two of the D2/4 teams — Delaware Valley and Hazleton Area — are winless and struggling. Williamsport is 1-1, but backslid with a poor performance in a 25-0 loss last Friday to Mifflin County. That means tonight’s winner will be alone atop the D2/4 standings. It also means the first thought of Berwick shouldn’t come until around 10 p.m. today. “There’s no way you can because this is more important because of playoff implications,” Keating said. To get the upper hand, the Spartans need to stop Scranton running back Jake McCarthy, a junior who has already verbally committed to Virginia to play baseball. McCarthy is a home run hitter on the football fieldas well. He has stampeded two Wyoming Valley Conference opponents this season for 448 yards and six touchdowns. Once McCarthy gets past the first wave of tack- lers, his next stop is usually the end zone. Rarely has he been caught from behind. The Spartans lived that last year in a 34-14 loss to Scranton. McCarthy rushed just 18 times but gained 276 yards and scored five touchdowns, including TD runs of 80, 63 and 56 yards.

DEREK LEVARSE [email protected] It’s written on the wall in the weight room. It was repeated by Bill O’Brien and his staff throughout training camp. It’s something Penn State has yet to do this season. “Start fast.” During the team’s first scrimmage of camp, O’Brien actually stopped the proceedings to admon- ish his offense when it wasn’t lined up properly on the first play. Unfortunately for the Nittany Lions, it’s something that carried over to the regular season. Penn State was flagged on its first offensive snap in both games as Matt Lehman was hit for a false start against Syracuse and fellow tight end Adam Breneman was caught for holding against Eastern Michigan. The Lions gave up the first score each time but were able to recover from a rocky first quarter to win both games. It’s not a formula Penn State wants to follow again on Saturday against 2-0 Central Florida. “It’s still a work in progress,” O’Brien said. “We have to execute better, especially at the beginning of the game.” “Execution” has been the buzzword around the team this week as the Lions try to avoid falling into an early hole against the Knights. Getting rid of those early jitters and penalties would be a start. “That’s mainly it,” tackle Donovan Smith said. “Coach O’Brien gave us the plays to run, and it’s just a matter of us executing — whether it’s me blocking better or the receivers running better routes or making better throws or stuff like that. It’s us as a team just executing.” If it’s going to improve on Saturday, it’s going to be fueled by Smith and the offensive line. O’Brien wasn’t enamored at how the offense took a quarter to get warmed up and establish a running game. “We’ve got to do better,” O’Brien said. “We have to keep spending time on it and we need to adjust quicker to what they’re doing (on defense).” While saying he didn’t want to single out the line specifically, O’Brien did say that the unit as a whole needs to be more consistent despite some good individual performances. The Lions believe that if the line stabilizes on first downs, it will help the team with its other major issue Slowstarts hampering Lions See PSU | 3B See VALLEY | 3B PAGE 2B Friday, September 13, 2013 scoreboard www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER latest line international league Playoffs first round (Best-of-5) Durham3, Indianapolis 0 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Durham2, Indianapolis 0 Thursday, Sep. 5: Durham6, Indianapolis 5 Friday, Sep. 6: Durham2, Indianapolis 1 Pawtucket 3, Rochester 2 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Rochester 7, Pawtucket 1 Thursday, Sep. 5: Pawtucket 7, Rochester 2 Friday, Sep. 6: Pawtucket 5, Rochester 1 Saturday, Sep. 7: Rochester 9, Pawtucket 1 Sunday, Sep. 8: Pawtucket 3, Rochester 0 Championship (Best-of-5) Durham1, Pawtucket 1 Tuesday, Sep. 10: Pawtucket 2, Durham1 Wednesday, Sep. 11: Durham2, Pawtucket 1 Friday, Sep. 13: Durhamat Pawtucket, 7:05 p.m. Saturday, Sep. 14: Durham at Pawtucket, 7:05 p.m. x-Sunday, Sep. 15: Durham at Pawtucket, 1:05 p.m. eastern league Playoffs first round (Best-of-5) Harrisburg 3, Erie 1 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Harrisburg 5, Erie 4 Thursday, Sep. 5: Erie 2, Harrisburg 1, 12 innings Friday, Sep. 6: Harrisburg 4, Erie 1 Saturday, Sep. 7: Harrisburg 5, Erie 1 Trenton 3, Binghamton 0 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Trenton 6, Binghamton 5, 10 innings Thursday, Sep. 5: Trenton 2, Binghamton 1 Friday, Sep. 6: Trenton 3, Binghamton 0 Championship (Best-of-5) trenton 2, Harrisburg 0 Tuesday, Sep. 10: Trenton 8, Harrisburg 2 Wednesday, Sep. 11: Trenton 5, Harrisburg 4 Thursday, Sep. 12: Trenton at Harrisburg, 7 p.m. x-Friday, Sep. 13: Trenton at Harrisburg, 7 p.m. x-Saturday, Sep. 14: Trenton at Harrisburg, 7 p.m. newyork - Penn league Playoffs first round (Best-of-3) State College 2, Jamestown 1 Friday, Sep. 6: Jamestown 6, State College 5 Saturday, Sep. 7: State College 12, Jamestown 4 Sunday, Sep. 8: State College 6, Jamestown 0 Tri-City 2, Aberdeen 0 Friday, Sep. 6: Tri-City 1, Aberdeen 0 Saturday, Sep. 7: Tri-City 3, Aberdeen 0 Championship (Best-of-3) Tri-City 1, State College 1 Tuesday, Sep. 10: State College 2, Tri-City 1, 11 innings Wednesday, Sep. 11: Tri-City 5, State College 4 Thursday, Sep. 12: Tri-City at State College, 7:05 p.m. PaCifiC Coast league Playoffs first round (Best-of-5) Salt Lake 3, Las Vegas 1 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Salt Lake 4, Las Vegas 3 Thursday, Sep. 5: Salt Lake 5, Las Vegas 4 Friday, Sep. 6: Las Vegas 3, Salt Lake 2 Saturday, Sep. 7: Salt Lake 4, Las Vegas 3 Omaha 3, Oklahoma City 0 Wednesday, Sep. 4: Omaha 3, Oklahoma City 1 Thursday, Sep. 5: Omaha 7, Oklahoma City 4 Friday, Sep. 6: Omaha 7, Oklahoma City 6 Championship (Best-of-5) Omaha 2, Salt Lake 0 Tuesday, Sep. 10: Omaha 3, Salt Lake 2 Wednesday, Sep. 11: Omaha 2, Salt Lake 1 Friday, Sep. 13: Omaha at Salt Lake, 8:35 p.m. x-Saturday, Sep. 14: Omaha at Salt Lake, 8:35 p.m. x-Sunday, Sep. 15: Omaha at Salt Lake, 3:05 p.m. weDnesDay’s mlB late Box sCores Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 1 arizona aB r H Bi BB so avg.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SPORTS Friday, September 13, 2013 PAGE 3B TOM FOX For The Times Leader COVINGTON TWP.— Sometimes, it’s really about the little things. Ask Crestwood head coach Mike Williams, and he’ll admit that. He also won’t deny North Pocono per- formed the little details better than his Comets. In the end, it led to a Trojan victory. Katlyn Ivanoff and Emily Cook controlled the front line as North Pocono executed the fundamentals to near perfection as the Trojans remained perfect in the Wyoming Valley Conference with a 3-0 girls volleyball victory over Crestwood. Game scores were 25-17, 25-19 and 25-21. “Fundamentals are the key aspect in all sports, and that’s especially true in volleyball,” Pocono head coach Chris Summa said. “It was a good win for us. We did some nice things. Mike does a good job at Crestwood, so you can’t take anything away from them. We just did the fundamentals a little better tonight.” The little things could really add up to bite you. The Comets struggled with the back-line pass, which in turn, didn’t allow the offense to flow effectively. The ace-service error percentage wasn’t too good, either. Crestwood only had four aces in the match, but committed a total of 12 errors. No doubt, the serve-receive was the main culprit. “That was our biggest problem tonight,” Williams said. “Our defense was solid overall. We didn’t bring a lot of offense, and the first pass has something to do with that. They grabbed the momentum early, and they used home court to their advantage. They are well-coached; I think Chris is one of the best coaches in this league. His record proves it.” One sequence in the opening set proves the point of how little things add up. Tied at 11, Crestwood (3-2) got whistled for a foot-fault on the serve. What followed were three bad back-line passes, a net violation and two setting infractions. Just like that, an 11-all tie turned into an 18-12 deficit. For comparison purposes, North Pocono (4-0) only had one service error and three attack errors in the opening set. “We’ve been looking forward to this game for a while. I was so pumped and ready for this one,” said Katlyn Ivanoff, who finished with a game-high eight kills. “We worked hard to get this win, and we practice so hard. We want to make an impact in the league, and hopefully, see what happens when districts come.” The closest set down the stretch was the final stanza. Up 21-20, Pocono used back-to-back Emily Cook kills, and a big block from junior Mallorie Deschaine to end it at 25-21. “We have been mistake-prone early in the matches. We’ve had some success, but we’ve been too mistake-prone. We were focused and ready today,” Summa said. “It’s a good win for our program. Crestwood has been in the top three in the league, and that’s an area where we hope to be every single season. It’s a good win, and a stepping stone. But we have to take one step at a time.” Taryn Wojnar had six kills to pace Crestwood, while Olivia Jankowski and Emily Sipple combined for 19 assists. “I think we came in a little over- confident,” Williams said. “We’ve had a good run against North Pocono in the last few years, and I think it carried in. That overconfi- dence hurt us. Sometimes, it works for you. Today, it just didn’t work for us. It’s a tough one to swallow, but we’ll move on and look forward to seeing them in playoffs.” Hanover Area 3, GAR 1 Hanover Area recovered after a first set loss towinthreeclosesets by scores of 22-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22.

Dale, 19:34 Lake-Lehman remains unbeaten in feld hockey Fred Adams | For The Times Leader Coughlin’s Sarah Zbierski (left) and Wyoming Seminary’s Mallory Lefkowitz battle for a loose ball on Thursday. The game was postponed midway through because of weather. The Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Butch Jones says defensive lineman Maurice Couch has been ruled ineligible for Saturday’s game against No. 2 Oregon while the university investigates allegations he was one of five Southeastern Conference players to receive improper benefits. “As of right now, the situation with Mo Couch is we’ve declared him ineligible for this game,” Jones said Thursday during his weekly interview with Nashville radio station 104.5. “Right now our compliance group is currently in the process of working through all the details and logistics of the situation. That’s all we kind of know right now, but as of right now moving forward, he will not make the trip to Oregon.” Jones later told the Associated Press via text message that it was Tennessee’s compliance department that ruled the 6-foot-2, 304-pound Couch ineligible. A Yahoo Sports report cited text messages and financial records of former Alabama defensive end Luther Davis, along with an unnamed NFL source who said Davis was a go-between for the players with NFL agents and financial advisers. Couch, a senior from Orlando, Fla., was the only active college player named in the report, which said Couch had received four payments totaling $1,350. The other players named in the report were former Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, former Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, former Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and former Mississippi State wide receiver Chad Bumphis. Jones wouldn’t discuss Couch’s status for the rest of the season. “All I can speak of right now is the present,” Jones said in his radio interview, “and the present is he will not be accompanying us to Oregon.” Couch, 23, played each of Tennessee’s first two games as a reserve and made four tackles and one sack. He made 38 tackles and one sack while starting nine games last season. The Yahoo report named three NFL agents and three financial advisers who Yahoo said engaged in transactions totaling at least $45,550 with Davis between September 2011 and December 2012. Yahoo said records show Davis distributing at least $12,700 in cash, airfare and other expenses to the five players. Tennessee had issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying it was looking into the situation. ”The education of our student-athletes regarding NCAA rules and extra benefits is and will continue to be the central focus of our compliance efforts,” Tennessee athletic department spokesman Jimmy Stanton said. “We are aware of the article and are examining all of the relevant facts.” Tennessee player left on the Couch for Oregon game Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin isn’t about to down- shift. “We’re going to go as fast as we possibly can,” Sumlin said. “I haven’t seen anything to support the player safety argument. Anything that’s within the rules, that’s the way football is. That’s any sport. Whether it’s baseball and you’re stealing bases or whether it’s basketball and you’re a fast break, full-court press team, that’s within the rules. “Just because you don’t want to play that style doesn’t mean that that’s not the way the game should be played.” It’s hard to argue with the results. Sumlin’s offenses have ranked in the top three nationally in total yards four of the past five years at Texas A&M and Houston. Through two games against weaker competition, the Aggies have amassed 117 points and 1,200 yards. Alabama allowed just 153 points in 14 games last season. Texas A&M wide receiver Malcome Kennedy said coaches have stressed tempo even more for this game. “The offense is going to move very fast,” said Kennedy, who scored what proved to be the decisive touchdown last season. “Coach has already said that we’re focusing on tempo this week. Us being able to run and pass, and we know it got on their nerves last year. So we want to be like that this year and hopefully it will turn out well.” Alabama From page 1B in the early going — third-down conversions. Penn State ranks dead last in the country (123 out of 123 teams) on third downs, con- verting just 2-of-26 times (7.7 percent). “We’ve got to get off to a better start on first down,” O’Brien said. “We’ve got too many (problems), whether it’s a penalty to put us back or a lost yardage play. So now you’re in second-and-long, and you’re already off schedule. It’s not a good thing. “Then once we get to third down, we have to execute better. I thought (against Eastern Michigan) there were plays to be made there. Whether it was a protection breakdown or a poor throw, or whatever it was, we just didn’t make the play.” Against theEagles, PennStatehadsixthird- down tries of 10 yards or more, failing to con- vert each time. The Lions’ only conversion of the game came on a third-and-6 when Christian Hackenberg hit fellow true freshman Richy Anderson for a gain of 8. “It will get better,” O’Brien said. “I can’t guarantee it. I’m not into guarantees, but I do believe we’re workingonit, andit will definitely improve. It needs to. “There’s no question about it. It has to improve.” Carteronthemend Kyle Carter suited up last week, but the Lions were sure tokeephimout of harm’s way. The tight end suffered what he called a hyperextended elbow against Syracuse but practiced over the next week and played against Eastern Michigan. His snaps were limited, however, and Breneman started in his spot at F-tight end. That was by design. “Hewas injured, sowedidthebest wecould to hold himout of the Eastern Michigan game so he’d be ready for Central Florida,” O’Brien said Thursday on his weekly radio show. Carter, who was the team’s second-leading receiver a year ago despite missing three full games and part of a fourth, has just two catches for 16 yards this season in large part because of the injury. O’Brien said those numbers will increase, starting on Saturday. PSU From page 1B season was whether it would be a one-trick pony on offense. The Knights graduated one of District 2’s top passing combination, leaving McCarthy as their lone weapon on paper. Problem solved — quarterback Kyle Pieczynski and receiver Joshua Gonzalez have connected three times for touchdowns. Pieczynski is on pace to toss 20 touchdown passes; Gonzalez is averaging 32 yards per reception. “This year, they have another threat on the perimeter,” Keating said. “He had two touchdown catches against Hazleton in Week 1. He is definitely someone now you have to keep an eye on on the perimeter because you not only have to worry about McCarthy now, but that deep threat on the perimeter. “It’s kind of like a 1-2 punch now. The quarterback throws the ball well and they are a headache offensively.” The Spartans can be the same. Quarterback Mike Baur is a dual threat. He has passed for 337 yards and rushed for 145 more. He’s even added a TD reception to his resume this year. New starting running back Eric Acosta had 228 yards and four TDs, averaging 8.8 yards per carry. Eight different players have caught passes, led by Mike Sands with eight grabs. He is coming off a career game in the 35-12 victory over DelVal last Friday. Valley From page 1B because of a hamstring injury. The teams traded three- and-outs, and on New York’s next possession Smith found Stephen Hill deep across the middle for a 33-yard gain. But as cornerback Aqib Talib was bringing Hill down, the receiver fumbled and McCourty scooped it up and took it all the way to the Jets’ 3-yard-line. Stephen Gostkowski’s field goal made it 10-0. Smith led the Jets into field goal position, thanks largely to a 27-yard completion to Santonio Holmes that picked up another 15 yards because defensive lineman Chandler Jones hit Smith in the head as he threw. The Jets were given a 9-yard touchdown on a pass from Smith to Clyde Gates, but replays showed the ball popped out as he went to the turf. Instead, they settled for Nick Folk’s 37-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Brady found rookie Kenbrell Thompkins for a 38-yard completion that helped set up Gostkowski’s 30-yard field goal that made it 13-3. Gostkowski missed a 43-yard field goal attempt at the end of the half after an apparent 25-yard touchdown pass to Thompkins was overruled on replay. Bothteamswontheir open- ers on last-second field goals. In their first home game since the Boston Marathon bombings, the Patriots held a pregame ceremony to honor several of those injured by the explosions.

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

In a city of high roll- ers, on one of the biggest betting days of the year, the head of Golden Boy Promotions is taking the biggest gamble of all. He’s got $60 million on the line that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez will not only deliver a great fight, but deliver at the box office, too. He’s betting the 152- pound matchup between two unbeaten fighters will be a blockbuster, perhaps the richest fight ever. And right now, there are not a lot of wise guys in this gambling city who would bet against him. “My goal is to break the record,” Schaefer said. “I think we will do 2 million homes, which will make it the single biggest pay-per- view in boxing.” If it is, it will be largely because Golden Boy is charging the single biggest price for a boxing match, a whopping $74.95 if you want to watch in HD. That will give boxing fans at home not only the most anticipated fight in years but a 140-pound title fight between Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysse that would be a headline bout anywhere else. Want to be there in person? The fight sold out in hours, but you can still find a seat on the main floor for $9,422. If that’s too rich, the cheapest nosebleed seat Thursday on StubHub was $1,687. Schaefer said the fight is such a hot ticket for the celebrity crowd that they’re calling asking to buy tickets instead of getting them free. Magic Johnson wanted some and so did Kobe Bryant, but his choice of ringside seats in the center of the front row were already taken. “Saturday could be a $200 million night,” Schaefer said. “Boxing is hardly a dying sport.” Not when it has the country’s highest-paid athlete. Mayweather will make at least $41.5 million for the 12-rounder, bringing his salary this year to $73 million in two fights. Alvarez, the red-headed star from Mexico, won’t do too badly himself, with a $5 million guarantee and a chance to make double that if the fight is a big hit. For Schaefer and Golden Boy it’s a bit more complicated. They get a windfall guarantee from the Showtime network, which Schaefer says doesn’t even cover Mayweather’s purse. And after splitting with cable and satellite companies they’ll end up with about $35 from every house that buys the fight. Toss in a $19.9 million live gate and a few million here and there from sponsorships and foreign rights sales, and it could be a nice payday indeed for the company Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya founded. “I’m going to obviously get some money Monday morning,” Schaefer said. “But I’m going to be out by the time the first bell rings well over $60 million.” PAGE 6B Friday, September 13, 2013 SPORTS www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER Irem Country Club 2014 Golf Membership Join now and play balance of 2013 Single, Family, Shriner & Non-Shriner rates available Call 675-1136 ext #241 for details www.iremgolf.com 868-GOLF 260 Country Club Drive, Mountaintop www.blueridgetrail.com Tuesday thru Friday Play & Ride for Just $ 33.00 Weekday Special Must Present Coupon.

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

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

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

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

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP Rays salvage a game against Red Sox series AP photo Boston Red Sox’s David Ortiz, right, shakes nada with third base coach Brian Butterfield after his sixth-inning home run off Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson on Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Jeff Locke allowed three hits over seven innings to earn his first victory in nearly two months and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Thursday night. Locke (10-5) struck out five and walked one to help the Pirates win their fourth straight as they try to catch first-place St. Louis in the NL Central. Mark Melancon worked out of a two-on, none-out jam in the ninth for his 14th save. Jordy Mercer went 2 for 4 with an RBI double for Pittsburgh. Marlon Byrd and Pedro Alvarez each added an RBI single. Chris Rusin (2-4) gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings for the Cubs. Nationals 7, Mets 2 NEW YORK — Ryan Zimmerman, Adam LaRoche and Wilson Ramos homered off Aaron Harang in his Mets debut, and Washington beat New York to complete a four- game sweep. Anthony Rendon also connected for Washington, which out- homered the Mets 13-0 in a series that helped the Nationals remain on the fringe of the NL wild- card race. They moved within 5½ games of idle Cincinnati for the final spot with the rain-inter- rupted win. Zimmerman added an RBI double in the eighth after Denard Span extended his career-best hitting streak to 23 games with a leadoff double. The Nationals won 17 of those games. Braves 6, Marlins 1 MIAMI — Freddy Garcia earned his second NL victory since 2007, and his first since joining the Atlanta Braves last month, pitching six innings to help beat Miami. Freddie Freeman had three hits on his 24th birthday, including his 20th home run. Chris Johnson also had three hits to raise his average to .330. Garcia (1-1) allowed five hits and one run. He was making a spot start in place of rookie left- hander Alex Wood, whose turn was skipped to give him a breather. The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —Wil Myers hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Thursday night to avoid a three- game sweep. Myers drove in Evan Longoria, who also doubled off Rubby De La Rosa (0-1), to give the Rays a 4-3 lead. Jake McGee (5-3) pitched a scoreless eighth before Fernando Rodney got three outs to earn his 34th save for the Rays, who lead the race for the second AL wild card despite going 5-13 since Aug. 25. David Ortiz and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered for Boston, which has an 8½-game advantage over second-place Tampa Bay in the ALEast. The Red Sox threatened in the ninth when Stephen Drew had an infield single and pinch-hitter Mike Carp walked with one out. Rodney worked out of the jam when pinch-hitter Will Middlebrooks lined out to third and Dustin Pedroia popped out. Athletics 8, Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS — A.J. Griffin allowed just two hits in seven innings leading Oakland to the win to increase its division lead heading into a crucial weekend series. Josh Reddick homered and had three RBIs for Oakland, which has a 3½ game lead over idle Texas in theAmericanLeagueWest. It is Oakland’s largest lead over the Rangers since Aug. 3. The teams are to scheduled play a three-game series this weekend in the Lone Star State. Oswaldo Arcia homered for Minnesota, which has lost six of eight. In winning his fourth straight start, Griffin (14-9) struck out eight and walked just one batter. Making his first start since being recalled from Triple-A, Minnesota starter Scott Diamond (5-11) allowed five runs — four earned — in 4 2-3 innings. He struck out six of the first nine batters he faced, including four straight, and lowered his opponents’ bat- ting average to .165 the first time through the lineup, the lowest mark in the majors among pitchers with at least 130 innings pitched. Other thanallowing Arcia’s homerun in the seventh, Griffin, who has served up a major league leading 34 homeruns, didn’t have many problems the rest of the way. Minnesota had two runners on with one out in the fourth, but Arcia lined out to second baseman Alberto Callaspo and Brian Dozier was doubled off first. Dozier had walked. Making his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester, Minnesota starter Scott Diamond (5-11) lasted just 4 2-3 innings. He allowed five runs — four earned — on six hits while striking out one. Before the game, manager Ron Gardenhire said that Diamond appears to be a much more confident pitcher than he was before his Aug. 1 demotion. Insixminor league starts, Diamond was 4-0 with a 2.41 ERA. The left-hander barely broke a sweat in retiring the A’s in order in the first two innings before the Oakland hitters forced Diamond deep into counts. One day after scoring 18 runs against the Twins, Oakland used some two-out hitting to take a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Angels 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Garrett Richards pitched 6 2-3 innings for his third straight win, Kole Calhoun hit a solo home run and Los Angeles beat Toronto to complete a three-game sweep. Erick Aybar had two hits and scored twice as the Angels won for the 15th time in 20 games and improved to 12-2 in their past 14 road contests. Calhoun went 2 for 3 with a walk to help the Angels win for the 10th time in 13 meetings with the Blue Jays. Los Angeles recorded its first sweep in Toronto since April 16-18, 2010. Jose Reyes homered and finished 4 for 4 with a walk, but the Blue Jays lost for the 29th time when scoring first. Richards left after Reyes hit a two-out double in the seventh. Michael Kohn came on and walked Munenori Kawasaki on four pitches, then struck out Brett Lawrie to end the threat. Pirates knock of Cubs for fourth straight win AP photo Pirates left fielder Starling Marte (6) celebrates as he heads for the dugout after a 3-1 win over the Cubs on Thursday in Pittsburgh. STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer MIAMI — Now a full- time spectator for the rest of the season, Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez sat quietly behind the dugout railing Thursday as his team lost 6-1 to the Atlanta Braves. He didn’t lead cheers, help the bat boy or lobby to pinch-run. He merely sat and watched. The new Jose? Maybe. Manager Mike Redmond wants the rookie right- hander to tone down his exuberant behavior, and says the Atlanta Braves had a legitimate grievance with the rookie’s behavior, which led to a bench-clear- ing confrontation during his final start of the season Wednesday. The Braves were unhap- py Fernandez stood at home plate admiring his home run, then spat toward the Braves’ Chris Johnson while rounding third base. The Braves also were annoyed Fernandez reacted with a cocky grin when he gave up a homer to Evan Gattis, then stared toward the Braves bench at the end of the inning. Redmond sided with the Braves. “Jose is an emotional guy,” Redmond said Thursday. “That’s part of his game that is going to improve. We don’t want to take the ‘having fun’ aspect away from him. That’s what makes him him. But at the same time, I think maybe he can center of that a little bit. … That might be a part of his game he needs to look at, and maybe try to do something different.” After the game, Fernandez apologized for his behavior. Lost in the furor was another fine out- ing by the All-Star right- hander in his final start of the year. He allowed one run in seven innings Wednesday to help Miami win 5-2. The 21-year-old Fernandez finished the year 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA, the second-lowest in the majors behind only the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw. He struck out 187 in 172 2-3 innings, and won’t pitch again because the Marlins set a 170-inning limit for him this year. Marlins trying to tone down Fernandez PAGE 8B Friday, September 13, 2013 www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER BUSINESS IN BRIEF BREE FOWLER and PAUL WEBER Associated Press ROUND ROCK, Texas — Dell Inc. will end its quarter- century history as a publicly traded company and try to engineer a turnaround away from the prying eyes of Wall Street after shareholders’ approval Thursday of a $24.8 billion buyout offer from the company’s founder. At the end of a shareholders meeting Thursday, Dell officials said that based on preliminary results, there were enough votes in favor of CEO Michael Dell’s buyout proposal. The company did not immediately announce the tally. “This is a great outcome for our customers and our company,” Michael Dell, the company’s chairman, CEO and founder, said in a conference call with investors. Like other PC makers, Dell Inc. has been hit hard in recent years as consumers shift their buying habits away from traditional desktops and laptops and toward tablets and other mobile devices. Michael Dell said the buyout marks the first step in a multi- year transformation that will involve Dell Inc. going back to its roots and focusing on the “entrepreneurial spirit” that the company was originally built on. Dell started selling PCs out of his dorm room while he was still a freshmanat the University of Texas. His company went public four years later. As a private company, Dell will have the flexibility it needs to make investments it needs to without the limitations and scrutiny that come with being a public company, he said. Last month, Dell reported a 72 percent drop in profit for its most recent quarter, as the company cut prices to shore up computer sales. Dell’s stock has plunged by more than 40 percent since Michael Dell returned for a second stint as CEOin 2007. In afternoon trad- ing Thursday, Dell shares were unchanged at $13.85. Michael Dell, who made his offer with an investment group led by Silver Lake Partners, maintains that turning around the company will involve a painful realignment that is likely to trim its earnings for another year or two. As a result, he believes, the turnaround will be easier to pull off away from Wall Street and its fixation on short-term results. Michael Dell was present for Thursday’s meeting, which lasted about 15 minutes.

AP photo TOM KRISHER APAuto Writer STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — The big SUV rolls on. Five years ago, when gas hit $4 per gallon, auto industry analysts boldly predicted that enormous SUVs would vanish like the automobile tail fin. On Thursday, General Motors is unveiling a completely redesigned lineup of its truck-based SUVs, three-ton behemoths that are still popular with drivers hauling around boats, campers and large families, or who like to sit high or feel safer in a heavy vehicle. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade will hit showrooms in either late winter or early spring. “There are some people, especially in our market, who want a product in that segment,” says Ed Williamson, part-owner of two GMC and Cadillac dealerships near Miami, where people often use the V8-powered SUVs to tow boats to the ocean. In recent years, buyers have flocked to crossovers, which are car-based sport utilities that are easier to drive, carry just as many people and get better gas mileage. Yet there’s still a lucrative U.S. market for the truck-based SUVs, and GM controls more than 70 percent of it. Americans bought more than 132,000 big SUVs from GM from January through August, compared with around 114,000 in the same period a year ago, even though the sticker price can top $50,000 and a fill-up can cost close to $100. With gas mileage around 17 mpg in city and highway driving, those fill-ups come more often than with many other vehicles. GM executives aren’t sure if this generation of SUVs will be its last. Government pollution limits and stricter fuel-economy requirements in the future could force the company’s hand. The giant SUVs became the rage in the late 1990s. Gas mileage was of little concern with fuel at just over $1 per gallon. Sales were fairly stable until 2005, when gas spiked over $3 per gallon as hurricanes pounded Gulf Coast refineries. About the same time, companies figured out ways to put big people-haulers on car under- pinnings. The new vehicles became quick hits. As the Great Recession arrived, the truck-based vehicles also drew scorn from environmentalists who viewed them as icons of excess. Gas topped $4 nationwide in the summer of 2008. Hummer, the poster child for gas-guzzling waste, went out of business. By 2009, large SUV sales had plummeted to 228,000. Sales of big SUVs hit 237,000 last year, up 4.5 percent from the 2009 trough but still only a quarter of what they were in the boom years. Experts suspect drivers have become accustomed to high gas prices, which have averaged around $3.50 nationwide since 2011. They find favor with those who have large families, but there are still buyers who just want something big. GM’s own data show that more than half of Tahoe buyers never tow anything, and only 1.3 percent go off the road at least monthly. Only 35 percent have children in their homes. For GM, the business case for updating the SUVs makes perfect sense. They sell to high-income households for an average of $47,000 each, about $20,000 above last year’s average price of a newvehicle in the U.S. Analysts say GM makes at least $10,000 per SUV. GMbets on big SUVs with newmodels SAM HANANEL Associated Press WASHINGTON — Glued to your desk at work? Cross that off the list of excuses for not having the time to exercise. A growing number of Americans are standing, walking and even cycling their way through the workday at treadmill desks, standup desks or other moving workstations. Others are forgoing chairs in favor of giant exercise balls to stay fit. Walking on a treadmill while making phone calls and sorting through emails means “being productive on two fronts,” said Andrew Lockerbie, senior vice president of benefits at Brown & Brown, a global insurance consulting firm. Lockerbie can burn 350 calories a day walking 3 to 4 miles on one of two treadmill desks that his company’s Indianapolis office purchased earlier this year. “I’m in meetings and at my desk and on the phone all day,” he said. “It’s great to be able to have an option at my work to get some physical activity while I’m actually doing office stuff. You feel better, you get your blood moving, you think clearly.” Treadmill desks designed for the workplace are normally set to move at 1 to 2 mph, enough to get the heart rate up but not too fast to distract from reading or talking on the phone comfortably. It’s been a decade since scientific studies began to show that too much sitting can lead to obesity and increase the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Even going to the gym three times a week doesn’t offset the harm of being sedentary for hours at a time, said Dr. James Levine, an endocri- nologist at the Mayo Clinic. “There’s a glob of information that sitting is killing us,” Levine said. “You’re basically sitting yourself into a coffin.” More companies are intrigued by the idea of helping employees stay healthy, lose weight and reduce stress — especially if it means lower insurance costs and higher productivity, said Levine, an enthusiastic sup- porter of the moving workstations. “Even walking at 1 mile an hour has very substantial benefits,” Levine said, such as doubling metabolic rate and improving blood sugar levels. “Although you don’t sweat, your body moving is sort of purring along.” Sales at Indianapolis- based TreadDesk are expected to increase 25 percent this year as large corporations, including Microsoft, Coca Cola, United Healthcare and Procter & Gamble have started buying the workstations in bulk, said Jerry Carr, the company’s president.
