BEIRUT -- The head of Leba-
nons powerful Hezbollah move-
ment appeared Monday at a mas-
sive rally assailing the United
States and warning that broadcast
of a film produced in California
mocking Islam could have grave
consequences.
America must understand that
releasing the entire film will have
dangerous, very dangerous reper-
cussions around the world, an
emotional Sheik Hassan Nasral-
lah, Hezbollahs secretary-general,
told supporters gathered in a Bei-
rut suburb.
The appearance suggested that
Hezbollah, an influential political
and military force in Lebanon, is
determined to place itself in the
vanguard of global Muslim out-
rage against the incendiary film.
The gathering was among a
string of demonstrations in Mus-
limcommunities fromTunis to Ja-
karta after the release onthe Inter-
net of a trailer for the amateur, pri-
vately produced film, which ridi-
cules the Prophet Muhammad
and the Islamic faith. The days
protests in South Asia turned vio-
lent and left at least one person
dead.
Tens of thousands of pro-Hez-
bollahsupporters attendedthe ral-
ly in Beiruts Dahiyeh suburb, a
stronghold where the group has
the ability to stage highly disci-
plined actions. The gathering was
boisterous but peaceful and oc-
curred far away from the heavily

Carolee Medico Olenginskis lawyer, Sam
Stretton, sent Luzerne County Manager Rob-
ert Lawton a letter Monday urging him to re-
consider her recent dismissal.
Stretton, of West Chester, hinted at age dis-
crimination because Lawton assigned Protho-
notary Deputy Art Bobbouine to oversee day-
to-day operations in the of-
fice, which handles civil
court records. Lawton asked
Medico Olenginski to handle
a special project streamlining
county paper and computer-
ized records.
There also appears to be a
form of discrimination in
terms of age. Ms. Medico Ole-
nginski is 68. You replaced
her with someone who is 36
years of age, Stretton wrote,
noting his client was well-
qualified.
Stretton said he found it
very distasteful that she was
replaced by Bobbouine. He
said Medico Olenginski
trained and groomed Bob-
bouine, shifted money in her budget to keep
him under home rule and encouraged him to
retake the bar exam.
It is very odd that he would act behind her
back and undermine her authority with you,
but that is an issue for another day, he wrote.
Bobbouine could not be reached for com-
ment Monday evening.
Lawton declined comment on Strettons let-
ter.
Lawton dismissed Medico Olenginski on
Friday, though she will continue to be paid a
$36,562 salary through 2013 when her elected
term expires.

Hazleton resident Dee Deakos
said she lined up a buyer for a va-
cant Hazleton lot she bought at a
back-tax auction last year, but the
purchaser backed out because
the property title wasnt clean.
She researched the auction pa-
perwork because outstanding
mortgages and liens were sup-
posed to be forgiven at the free-
and-clear auc-
tion. Deakos
said the prior
owner and an-
other person
who financed
the mortgage
were never
properly noti-
fied of the auction as required.
Deakos said she found similar
missing notifications on three
other properties she bought at
auction.
Shes attempting to straighten
out twoonher ownby contacting
lien holders to negotiate resolu-
tions and has filed legal action
trying to force the countys tax
claim operator to refund her
money on the remaining two.
The properties were sup-
posed to be free and clear. They
lied, plain and simple, said Dea-
kos, who purchased the proper-
ties through her business, Phar-
mahouse.
John Rodgers, owner of North-
east Revenue Service LLC, the
countys tax-claim operator, said
his company painstakingly at-
tempts to identify and notify all
lien holders to the extent re-
quired by law, but some may fall
through the cracks.
Rodgers said he advised Dea-
kos she must file court action if
shes seeking a refund, because a
sale cant be reversed without a
court order. A judge will deter-
mine if Northeast Revenues ser-
vice to lien holders was suffi-
cient, he said.

Solomon Creek in Ashley as
well as other brooks in the area
with dry creek beds will likely
come alive today as rain is ex-
pected through Wednesday af-
ternoon.
The heaviest rain is expected
to fall Tuesday night.
But, its not the rain that has
sparked concern from the Na-
tional Weather Service.
A high-wind watch was is-
sued for most of Northeastern
Pennsylvania with sustained
winds of 20 to 30 mph gusting
to 50 to 60 mph that may cause
downed trees and power fail-
ures.
In localized areas, winds
from the storms can be strong
enough to break off tree limbs
and cause power outages, said
Alex Sosnowski, expert senior
meteorologist for accuweather-
.com. In some cases, trees
could be toppled and more sig-
nificant power damage is pos-
sible. Some locations may be
blasted by small hail as well.
Creeks and streams have
been running low -- or if at all --
from a lack of rain this year. So-
lomon Creek has been bone dry
showing its rocky bed for at
least a month.
(National Weather Service)
is saying 1 to 3 inches; we may
have some urban and small
stream problems but nothing of
significance, Luzerne County
Emergency Management Coor-
dinator Steve Bekanich said.
The rainfall total measured
at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International Airport since Jan.
1 is 24.6 inches, nearly 2.5 inch-
es below normal for this time of
year, according to the National
Weather Service in Bingham-
ton, N.Y.
This time last year, more
than 45 inches of rain had fall-
en.
There is a slight chance for
severe thunderstorms Tuesday
afternoon and night.
Weather watches and warn-
ings will likely be posted by
NWS as the storm is expected
to intensify.
The rain will not have an im-
pact on the Susquehanna River
in Wilkes-Barre, which has
been flowing very low for most
of the year. At 1:45 p.m. Mon-
day, the river was .16 feet and
expected to reach 2.3 feet
Thursday afternoon.
The chance of bad weather
has forced the Mohegan Sun
Arena to cancel todays sched-
uled Outdoor Marketplace.

WILKES-BARRE A former
county sheriff deputy charged
with assaulting a woman who
had been dating her former
girlfriend pleaded no contest
Monday to a related charge
and was sentenced to 18
months probation.
Jennifer M. Roberts, 34, of
Wilkes-Barre Township, en-
tered the plea to a charge of
simple assault and was sen-
tenced by Luzerne County
Judge Joseph Sklarosky on the
day she was scheduled to stand
trial.
I apologize to the court for
being here, Roberts told Skla-
rosky before being sentenced.
A longtime sheriff deputy,
Roberts was terminated from
her job in August 2011 after the
July 2011 incident involving
Sheila Sult of Wilkes-Barre.
Its a difficult situation. She
loved her job, it meant every-
thing to her, Roberts attor-
ney, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr.,
told Sklarosky Monday. You
will never see her in court ever
again.
Olszewski said his client du-
tifully served the residents of
Luzerne County and under-
stands the consequences she
faces.
Ive known her personally
and professionally for a num-
ber of years, Olszewski said,
noting he believes Roberts to
be a good person who faced
charges of burglary, simple as-
sault, aggravated assault and
harassment
because of a
domestic sit-
uation.
Senior Dep-
uty Attorney
General Ge-
orge Zaiser
prosecuted
the case.
According to court papers,
the assault occurred after Ma-
ry Jean Farrell, Roberts for-
mer girlfriend, and Roberts
exchanged words outside the
Wyoming Valley Mall on July
21. Police then responded to a
911 hangup call at Sults Regent
Street home on July 22 shortly
after midnight.
Sult said she posted some
things about the encounter on
Facebook, and Roberts became
aware of the postings and
called Farrell.
Sult said Farrell went to her
house and pleaded with her to
take the postings down, but
she refused and asked Farrell
to leave. Police said Roberts ar-
rived and when Sult started to
open the door, Roberts pushed
it open and attacked Sult.
Sult testified at an October
preliminary hearing she suf-
fered a herniated disk in her
neck that requires surgery,
swollen eyes and bruises on
her head.
Attorney William Ruzzo,
who represented Sult at Mon-
days hearing, said his client
was in agreement with Ro-
berts no-contest plea and had
no objection to a probationary
sentence.
Roberts is to have no contact
with Sult, Sklarosky said, must
undergo a drug-and-alcohol
evaluation and complete 25
hours of community service.

is given probation

WILKES-BARRE Simply
boarding up open areas on the
Hotel Sterling is not keeping
people out, and one man said
Monday he is concerned some-
body will get hurt in the con-
demned former landmark.
BrianShiner of Kingstonoften
attends Luzerne County Council
meetings and has been monitor-
ing the dilapidated building on
River Street. He said recent re-
pairs have not fixed the problem.
He pointed out a large hole
where he saidpeople are still get-
ting into the building that is
scheduled for demolition in the
near future.
Imconcerned about the safe-
ty of anyone who enters the
building, he said. What are
CityVest and Wilkes-Barre city
waiting for? Does somebody
have to get hurt or killed before
the building is secured?
Last week, Shiner provided a
photograph he states showed
five young people standing on
the roof of the Sterling. Shiner
said adults are also getting into
the building.
Refuge for homeless
Ona recent tour of the interior
of the Sterling, there were sleep-
ing bags and mattresses indicat-
ing that homeless people have
been using it for refuge. With
temperatures starting to drop,
Shiner is concernedmore people
will be using the building for
shelter.
The city boarded up a couple
of entry ways on Friday, and
Drew McLaughlin, administra-
tive coordinator, said more work
was done Monday.
We had an employee down
first thing (Monday) morning at
7 a.m., he said. A worker did
about three hours worth of work
to secure possible points of en-
try.
The work was done in an alley
way between the Sterling and
the annex building. Shiner saida
rope hangs froma large opensec-
ond floor window right above
where the city worker was work-
ing.
About 50 feet from where the
worker was, Shiner found anoth-
er gaping hole punched in the
sheetrock. It measures about 3
by 4 feet, and Shiner said it has
been open since Saturday.
The city worker never saw
the hole, Shiner said. And he
left theropehanging. It wouldbe
easy for someone to grab the
rope and pull themselves up and
through the window.
Shiner said a fence should be
erected to keep people out.
Whats it going to take to se-
cure this building? Shiner
asked. A couple hundred dol-
lars?
McLaughlin said the city has
made every attempt to secure
the building, which the city con-
demned a year ago after an engi-
neer determined flood water im-
periled it structural integrity.
People enter that building at
their own risk, he said. The
city is not the owner and has no
legal liability from individuals
who break the law and enter the
building.
Shiner noted that the city has
not postedany NoTrespassing
signs.
The city received bids for the
demolition of the former hotel,
with the lowest nearly $500,000.
The city has asked the county
to share the cost of demolition.
Thenonprofit CityVest organi-
zation owns the building. At-
tempts to contact a CityVest rep-
resentative were unsuccessful.

Stephen Sartori of Pennoni Associ-

The original plan was drawn up in an
effort to calm traffic on the busy thor-
oughfare between South and North
streets, improving access to the new
River Commonandthe twoportals that
allow pedestrians to walk through the
levee to the riverfront.
But critics contended the changes
would clog traffic and not improve pe-
destrian safety. Sartori said those con-
cerns were considered in consultation
with PennDOT and revisions made.

pact to all of the local restau-
rants, not just us, Mascioli
said.
His was one of the fewrestau-
rants within a mile of the arena
that was established long be-
fore the venue was built 13
years ago. He said others have
made huge investments open-
ing restaurants knowing that
the arena did not have much by
way of restaurants or bars to at-
tract fans pre and post event.
A lot of people built those
restaurants around that oppor-
tunity and made large invest-
ments, Mascioli said. While he
appreciates what the arena has
done for the area, he said he
wishes it wasnt going this
route.
The arenas been very good
to all of us, but now theyre try-
ing to take a chunk of the busi-
ness back, he said.
Specifics about what kind of
eatery the officials are looking
for were not discussed when
the plans were announced for
thefirst timepubliclylast week.

WILKES-BARRE Two search
warrants filed Monday by Luzerne
Countydetectives detail items seized
from the home of a Kingston man
chargedlast week withtaking money
from a Hazleton attorney, as well as
details surrounding allegations from
a second victim who alleges nearly
$20,000 was taken.
David A. Rigle,
56, a former physi-
cianwhonowis un-
licensed, was ar-
raigned last week
on two counts of
theft by deception
after, investigators
say, he bilked a Ha-
zleton attorney out of $6,5000 for an
expert medical report.
The two search warrants outline
several items seized from Rigles
home on Sept. 11, including several
computers, boxes of files, cellphones
and a check register, after investiga-
tors received information from Mi-
chael Phillips, who alleged he was
seeking a medical expert opinion
from Rigle in a medical malpractice
case and lost $20,000.
No charges have been filed in that
case, but an affidavit that accompa-
niedthetwosearchwarrants outlines
specifics.
According to the affidavit filed by
Luzerne County detectives, in Au-
gust the office was contacted by Phil-
lips, who said his mother, Phyllis
Phillips, passed away a fewweeks be-
fore, after undergoing surgery at a
New York hospital.
Phillips told detectives he believed
his mother died as a result of mis-
takes made by doctors while she was
beingtreatedat Ellis Hospital inNew
York.
In September 2011, Phillips said he
contacted an attorney in Troy, N.Y. to
have the case evaluated for a poten-
tial medical malpractice lawsuit. An
attorney advised Phillips he would
have to obtain an independent med-
ical review on his mothers medical
records inorder toproceedwithaciv-
il suit.
The attorney suggested two doc-
tors inLuzerne County: Rigle andhis
sister, Deborah McMenamin.
Phillips then handed over docu-
ments relating to his mothers case,

teacher, Leslie Nicholas has nabbed an-
other accolade, andthis onecomes witha

Wyoming Valley West School District
Superintendent Chuck Suppon con-
firmedMondaythat Nicholas, currentlya
middle school teacher, is one of the semi-

National Education Foundation. The
semifinalists get the $10,000, with one of
them landing another $25,000 check
when the finalist is announced.
These awards are
few and far between,
Suppon said Monday.
It speaks volumes
about thekindof teach-

he has on the stu-
dents.
Nicholas did not re-
spondtoanemail lateMondayafternoon.
Suppon said the district is planning a
small formal ceremony acknowledging
the accomplishment, probably on
Wednesday.
Nicholas has received numerous state

WILKES-BARRE Teachers might
have a harder time keeping childrens
attention these days, given the prolif-
eration of video games and fast-paced
TV shows, but a couple of clowns had
no problem with that on Monday.
With their colorful costumes, witty
banter and exaggerated actions, Che-
rie and Dave, of the Ringling Brothers
and Barnum & Bailey Circus, captiv-
ated the interest of more than 50 chil-
dren seated cross-legged on the floor
of the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA
gymnasium for the half-hour show.
This is our sixth year as ambassa-
dors of laughter, Cherie said. We
come about a month ahead of the cir-
cus and we go to schools, libraries,
YMCAs, hospitals, cheering everybo-
dy we can.
The clowns appeared at the Y as
well as at the Wyoming Valley Chil-
drens Association in Forty Fort,
Downtown Arts in Wilkes-Barre and
the West PittstonLibrary as a commu-
nity service in advance of the circus
Barnum Bash show at Mohegan Sun
Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township Nov.
1-4. The performers said their appear-
ances are much more than just a tried
and true way to market the circus.
This is a way of Ringling Brothers
giving back to the communities in
which we perform each and every
year, Dave said.
We realize that not everybodys go-
ing to be able to buy a ticket, Che-
rie added. So its a way of bringing
the circus topeople whomight not get

PUBLIC MEETING
Today magazine, told The Times
Leader a restaurant likely would
have a local connection.
Its goingtobe somethingthat
screams Wilkes-Barre, she said.
That sort of a local eatery en-
tering a sports venue model was
unsuccessful in one case.
Bo Brothers, a Wyoming-based
pizza, wings andbarbecue restau-
rant, operated inside PNC Field
in Moosic but pulled out in less
than a year, citing a lack of busi-
ness on days when the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees werent
playing a home game and in the
offseason.
Efforts to reach Bo Brothers
owner James Ruby to see if he
would have an interest in open-
ing an arena location, were un-
successful Monday.
People attending games, con-
certs and other events now can
be foundbefore andafterwards at
national franchise restaurants
such as Olive Garden, Red Lob-
ster, Red Robin, Chilis, Outback
Steakhouse or Smokey Bones
and locally owned favorites such
as Grotto Pizza, Luckys Spor-
thouse and Arena Bar and Grill.
All are located within a short
drive of the arena.
Rich Jeffers, a corporate
spokesman for Darden Restau-
rants, which owns Red Lobster,
Olive Garden, Longhorn Steak-
house and other chain restau-
rants, said he wasnt sure what
impact an arena eatery would
have on business, but he praised
the arena as a business generator.
It generates traffic and thats
good for business, Jeffers said.
Metz Culinary Management,
based in Dallas, operates Luckys
Sporthouse in Wilkes-Barre
Township, Ruths Chris Steak
House and Wolfgang Puck, both
at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs Casino in Plains Town-
ship, and T.G.I. Fridays in
Wilkes-Barre. It also operates
dining facilities at area schools,
colleges and companies.
Of all the local food operators,
Metz would seem to have an in-
side track on having interest in
operating a restaurant inside the
arena.
However, Maureen Gallagher,
Metzs vice president of market-
ing, had no comment Monday
andsaidthe personinthe compa-
nywhocouldtalkabout thearena

comment.

Trisch Madaya, child care co-
ordinator at the Y, said most of
the children in the after-school,
pre-school and day care pro-
grams are there on scholarships.
So for a lot of the children
who are infront of us, (attending
the circus is) an experience they
wouldnt have because of the
cost. But (Cherie and Dave)
gave out discount coupons, so
maybe theyll get to see the cir-
cus after all, Mayada said.
They gave out stickers and
rubber clown noses, too.
Mayada was impressed with
the clowns ability to hold the at-
tention of so many children for
30 minutes straight.
I was surprised how they
were all mesmerized by it, espe-
cially given that we had some
children in here who are 18
months old. You wouldnt know
that they were even in here, they
were so quiet. They definitely
captivated them, she said.
Cherie andDave saidtheyfind
children react pretty much the
same wherever they perform.
In the end, they all want to
have fun and be silly. No matter
where we are in the country, if I
slap Dave in the butt, theyre go-
ing to laugh, Cherie said.
Or if a chair drops on my
head, everybody laughs, Dave
piped in.
There was definitely some
slapstick to see, and some of it
involved young audience mem-
bers who volunteered. A 5-year-
old boy named DVonte stood
smiling as the clowns tossed jug-
gling clubs back and forth to
each other in front of and behind
him, and 4-year-old McKayleigh
Lokuta helped with magic tricks
involving a wily magic handker-
chief and a bunny in a top hat.
Cherie said those who attend
the circus can get an up-close ex-
perience at an All-Star Pre-Show
Party before every performance.
Families can come an hour
early and meet the performers
on the arena floor, take a sneak
peek backstage, try their hand at
balancing peacock feathers, try
on costumes and even enter to
win an elephant footprint. And
its free withtheir ticket. Its pret-
ty cool (and) really interactive,
Cherie said.

HARRISBURG Pennsylva-
nia is joining the move by states
to defend their military installa-
tions from possible Defense De-
partment cutbacks.
Gov. Tom Corbett on Monday
signedanorder settingupacom-
mission to advocate for the
states bases.
Corbett appointed Lt. Gov.
Jim Cawley to lead it. Other
members will include state Sen.
John Blake, D-Archbald.
The commissions creation
comes a year after Congress
passed legislation that requires
nearly $500 billion in defense
cuts over 10 years beginning on
Jan. 2.
I think Pennsylvania needs to
be taking a look at the issues
themselves and we need to be
well represented, Corbett said
at a news conference at the 28th
Division Infantry headquarters
in Harrisburg.
Part of the commissions focus
will be toaddtothe tasks carried
out by the states installations by
marketing geographical value or
operational efficiency, Corbett
and the lawmakers said.
One of the installations that
the commission will fight hard
to protect is the Tobyhanna Ar-
my Depot in Monroe County,
Northeast Pennsylvanias largest
employer with 5,500 workers.
The wide-ranging impact
and value of Tobyhanna Army
Depot to Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania and to our regional econo-
my is immeasurable, Blake
said.
In addition to Tobyhanna,
Pennsylvanias major military in-
stallations include the Carlisle
Barracks where the U.S. Army
War College is housed, Letter-
kenny Army Depot in southcen-
tral Pennsylvania and a Naval
support depot in suburban Har-
risburg.

closures, Pennsylvania lost the

Iran blasts nuke agency
I
rans nuclear chief said Monday that
terrorists and saboteurs might
have infiltrated the International Atom-
ic Energy Agency in an effort to derail
his nations atomic program. It was
Tehrans harshest attack on the integri-
ty of the U.N. organization and its
investigation of allegations that Iran is
striving to make nuclear arms.
Fereydoun Abbasi also rebuked the
United States in comments to the
IAEAs 155-nation general conference,
reflecting Irans determination to con-
tinue defying international pressure
aimed at curbing its nuclear program
and nudging it toward cooperation
with the IAEA inspection.
Revealing what he said were two
sabotage attempts on his countrys
nuclear program, he challenged the
perpetrators to launch new attacks,
saying his country is determined to
learn how to protect its interests
through such assaults.
BEIRUT
Syrian missiles hit Lebanon
Missiles fired by Syrian warplanes
hit Lebanese territory Monday in one
of the most serious cross-border vio-
lations since Syrias crisis began 18
months ago, security officials in Beirut
and Lebanese state media said.
The officials, speaking on condition
of anonymity in line with regulations,
said four missiles fired by two Syrian
jets hit a rugged and remote area on
the edge of the Lebanese border town
of Arsal. No casualties were immediate-
ly reported.
On the diplomatic front, Egypts

NEW YORK
Occupy protesters arrested
About a dozen Occupy Wall Street
protesters have been arrested during a
march near the New York Stock Ex-
change on the anniversary of the grass-
roots movement.
A couple hundred protesters partici-
pated in the march Monday morning.
Protesters who sat on the sidewalk
were arrested.
Earlier, they gathered across the
street from Zuccotti Park, the site of
the movements birth.
But there was no sign of a planned
peoples wall on the streets surround-
ing the stock exchange.
Instead, protesters held a small
meeting where they talked about the
ills of Wall Street and corporate greed.
On Saturday, at least a dozen pro-
testers were arrested as some 300
people observed the anniversary.
CHICAGO
Mayor fumes at teachers
Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked a state
court Monday to force Chicago school
teachers back to work and end a week-
long strike he calls illegal.
The union immediately condemned
the move as an act of vindictiveness by
a bullying mayor.
Emanuel spokeswoman Sarah Hamil-
ton said city attorneys filed a request in
the Cook County Circuit Court to force
Chicago Teachers Union members off
the picket line and back into class-
rooms.
The request argues that the labor
action is illegal because state law bars
the union from striking on anything
but economic issues, and that the work
stoppage is focused instead on such
issues as evaluations, layoffs and recall
rights.

CINCINNATI Appealing to Rust
Belt voters, President Barack Obama an-
nouncedanewtradeenforcement action
against China on Monday, while Repub-
lican challenger Mitt Romney planned a
greater emphasis on policy details that
distinguish himfromObama to stop the
incumbents election momentum.
Romneys shift comes as Republicans
openly fret about the state of their nomi-
nees campaign and press him to give
voters a clearer sense of how he would
govern. In newly published polls, Rom-
ney has lost the edge he held over Oba-
maas thecandidatebetter abletohandle
the federal budget deficit and taxes.
Romney pollster Neil Newhouse attri-
buted Obamas gains to the bump the
president receivedoverall after theDem-
ocratic National Convention in North
Carolina this month. But on taxes, Ne-
whouse acknowledged Romneys need
to do more to distinguish his plans.
Im not sure that voters really under-
stand the differences between the plans
Mitt Romney has and Obama has, Ne-
whouse said. And I think thats one
thing were committed to trying to do in
movingforwardis definingthedifferenc-
es between the two candidates on tax-
es.
One recent line of criticismfromRom-
ney appears to have brought a quick re-
sponse from Obama. The White House
announced a move to stop Chinese sub-
sidies of its auto industry four days
after Romney launched an advertising
campaign accusing the president of al-
lowing American manufacturing jobs to
be lost to the Asian power.
The issue hits home among working
class voters in manufacturing swing
states such as Ohio, where Obama has
gained recently in polls and touted his
new action Monday.

WASHINGTON More older
drivers are on the road than ever be-
fore, and an Associated Press review
found they face a hodgepodge of
state licensing rules that reflect sci-
entific uncertainty and public angst
over a growing question: How can
we tell if its time togive upthe keys?
Thirty states plus the District of
Columbia have some sort of older-
age requirement for drivers licens-
es, ranging frommore vision testing
to making seniors renew their li-
censes more frequently than young-
er people. At what age? Thats litera-
lly all over the map. Maryland starts
eye exams at 40. Shorter license re-
newals kickinanywhere fromage 59
in Georgia to 85 in Texas.
The issue attracted new attention
when a 100-year-old driver backed
over a group of schoolchildren in
Los Angeles late last month. Thats a
rarity, but withanimminent surge in
senior drivers, the federal govern-
ment is proposingthat all states take
steps to address what the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion calls the real and growing
problem of older driver safety.
Heres theconundrum: Birthdays
dont kill. Health conditions do,
said Joseph Coughlin, head of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogys AgeLab, which develops tech-
nologies tohelpolder peoplestayac-
tive.
Healthyolder drivers arent neces-
sarily less safe than younger ones,
Coughlin points out. But many ol-
der people have health issues that
can impair driving, from arthritis to
dementia, from slower reflexes to
the use of multiple medications.
Theres no easy screening tool that
licensing authorities can use to spot
people with subtle health risks. So
some states use birthdays as a proxy
for more scrutiny instead.
Older drivers dont crash as often
as younger ones. But they also drive
less. About 60 percent of seniors vol-
untarily cut back, avoiding night-
time driving or interstates or bad
weather, said David Eby of the Uni-
versity of Michigans Center for Ad-
vancing Safe Transportation
throughout the Lifespan.
Measure by miles driven, howev-
er, andthe crashrate of older drivers
begins to climb in the 70s, with a
sharper jump at age 80, according to
the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety. Only teens and 20-some-
things do worse.

Theres little doubt that Jerry Sandus-
ky faces a long prison sentence. In a few
weeks, hell find out howjust howlong.
A judge announced Monday he will
sentence Sandusky on Oct. 9, nearly
four months after the retired assistant
football coach was convicted in the
child molestation scandal that brought
shame to Penn State.
Sandusky was convicted in June of 45
counts of sex abuse involving 10 boys.
Prosecutors said some of the assaults
took place on the Penn State campus.
Given his age and
the serious nature of
the crimes, Sandusky
is likely to receive a
sentence that will
keepthe 68-year-oldin
prison for life. He is
jailed pending sen-
tencing and maintains
his innocence.
Judge John Cleland scheduled a hear-
ing for 9 a.m. at the courthouse in Belle-
fonte to determine if Sandusky should
be classified as a sexually violent preda-
tor, a designationthat subjects a convict
to intense reporting requirements upon
release. A decision is expected to have
little practical effect since he stands to
die in prison.
Sandusky will be sentenced immedi-
ately afterward.
Tom Kline, a lawyer representing a
young man who testified during Sand-
uskys trial that he was fondled in a
school shower in 2001, said Monday he
expects his client either to testify at the
sentencing hearing or supply a state-
ment to the court.
Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman in the
Attorney Generals Office, said prosecu-
tors will make a sentencing recommen-
dation to the judge.
Sanduskys attorney, Joe Amendola,
did not immediately return a phone call
and email seeking comment.
Meanwhile, defense lawyers for two
former Penn State administrators asked
a Dauphin County judge on Monday to
split the criminal cases against former
athletic director TimCurley and retired
vice president Gary Schultz.
They are charged with failing to re-
port suspected child abuse and lying to
a grand jury. They have pleaded not
guilty. Their trial is set for January.

The filmalso sparked demonstrations in other nations.
A protest in Kabul over the film that mocks the Prophet
Muhammad turned violent Monday, with hundreds of men
torching tires, cars and shipping containers and lobbing
rocks at a U.S. base on the edge of the capital. More than 20
police officers were injured by rocks before the protesters
were finally dispersedby officers shootinginthe air, officials
said.

Earlier this month, the U.S. military stopped training
about 1,000 members of the Afghan Local Police, a contro-

remains a fraction of the countrys army and police force,
which will soon be 352,000 strong.

LEHMAN TWP. -- The town-
ship board of supervisors began
in a somber mood Monday
night because of the death of
Township Secretary Jon Rogers
last Saturday.
But tempers flared as two dif-
ferent problems brought a large
number of residents to the
council meeting.
One resident asked why she
had been cited by the township.
Board President David Sutton
said there had been several
complaints at the last meeting
about noise coming from recre-
ational ATV use on her proper-
ty. He said this was a zoning vi-
olation, not a police matter and
that she had been cited by the
zoning officer.
Several residents were upset
over her citation and ques-
tioned how ATVs could be used
in the township.
Sutton said a new ordinance
that will clearly define use of
ATVs in the township is being
proposed.
Supervisor Ray Iwanowski
said this was in response to
many complaints about ATV
use.
Its been brewing, brewing,
brewing, he said.
Also, residents fromthe Lake
Silkworth section of the town-
ship complained about a lack of
police presence from11 p.m. to
7 a.m. They cited a number of
incidents during those hours.
One resident said many of
the residents were unaware
that the township police de-
partment does not cover a third
shift. She was told that after 11
p.m., all 911calls are covered by
the state police.
We tried to keep police offi-
cers on duty 24 /7. Because of
cost and expense we had to cut
back on services, Iwanowski
said.

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- Just
weeks after acquiring a plot of
landonRoute115as a locationfor
a new school building, the Bear
Creek Community Charter
School board of trustees took an-
other step forward on the project
by choosing a pre-construction
engineer.
The board voted unanimously
Monday to hire Bob Becker of
NEPA Engineering to handle the
requests for proposals and other
facets of the pre-construction
phase of the program. Becker will

est qualified bidder. The boiler
needs immediate replacement
before cooler weather sets in, the
board said in making the emer-
gency authorization.
In other business, the board:
Approved the hiring of
Brooke Young as enrichment
paraprofessional for 25 hours per

ent satisfaction survey that had
55percent of parents responding,
with 98 percent saying they
would recommend the school to
others, 94 percent stating they
feel their kids are safe, and87per-
cent reporting that they feel their
children are challenged.

Cartwright out of touch
with countys economy
C
ongressional candidate Matt Cart-
wright, what planet are you living on? I
am writing in response to your cam-
paign press release on Aug. 24.
Luzerne County has the highest unem-
ployment in the state. Look at the list of
homeowners behind on their property
taxes, which was recently published by
The Times Leader; I did not count them,
but I am sure it is in the thousands.
Our roads and bridges are falling apart.
Luzerne County is in debt from which it
might never emerge.
Remember the past election buzz words:
It is the economy, stupid.

Middle Road makeover
makes township safer
A
s promised at our on-site July meeting
with the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation District 4-0 representa-
tives Dennis Giordano and Keith Williams,
all of the safety measures along Middle
Road have been completed.
The improvements include painting the
roadway with block lettering noting the 25
mph speed limit, repairs made to sewer
grates, flashing 25 mph wig-wag signs
and a stop sign at Kosciuszko Street and
Middle Road.
On behalf of residents of the Askam
section of Hanover Township, I thank
them for their work to make our road safer.
Also, many thanks to state Rep. Gerald
Mullery, plus the area newspapers and
television stations that also supported our
cause.
Since these improvements have been
made, most drivers have realized the ne-
cessity of obeying the speed limit, and we
appreciate their slowing down.

New after-hours clinic
big boon for pet lovers
D
r. I.H. Kathio has expanded his veter-
inary practice by opening a night
hospital at 421 N. Pennsylvania Ave.,
Wilkes-Barre.
In my opinion, Dr Kathio is as good as it
gets.
Two new after-hours pet hospitals in the
Wyoming Valley are giving pet lovers a
choice of whom they want to care for their
pets. God works in wonderful ways.
I have had some not-so-wonderful expe-
riences in the past year. During the past
several months, the list of heartbroken pet
lovers who have contacted me has grown
by leaps and bounds. I thank all the people
who have called and offered their support.

IN THE wake of recent
violence in Plymouth, resi-
dents expressed dismay
over the perceived lack of
borough police resources
and the resulting threat to
public safety.
Their concern should come as no sur-
prise. The Pennsylvania Economy League
sounded the warning as recently as 2010
concerning the evaporation of borough
police forces in Luzerne County that places
residents at higher risk. A joint study with
the Institute for Public Policy & Economic
Development found that full-time borough
police forces were being gutted for financial
reasons. Communities increasingly are
relying on part-time officers or the state
police. Quality coverage suffers as a result.
The study advocated the creation of re-
gional police forces as a solution, but over-
coming political obstacles to change have so
far made that goal elusive.
While Luzerne County cities have largely
maintained their full-time police forces
since the 1970s and second-class townships
have increased their full-time officers to
reflect population growth, the same cannot
be said of boroughs.
In 1972, 57.5 percent of police officers in
Luzerne Countys boroughs were full-time.
By 2006, the number of full-time officers
had dropped to 31.6 percent. The result is
police departments with inadequate back-
up, training, preventive patrols or the ability
to follow through on investigations. Genu-
ine, round-the-clock police coverage is
scaled back or nonexistent. The result:
Residents at a Plymouth Borough Council
meeting held shortly after a recent shooting
complained about slow police response
times.
The situation is particularly troubling
given the influence that higher rates of
poverty and unemployment both of which
have increased in Luzerne County have on
crime. Regional drug possession crimes
spiked 200 percent from 2000 to 2006 and
during the same period drug manufacturing
crimes were up 155 percent.
Small police departments primarily
staffed with part-time officers are ill-
equipped to deal with the ramifications.
Larger regional departments made up of
full-time officers have more resources for
investigation and training including spe-
cialized training that lead to more arrests.
Regional forces also have the quantity and
quality of officers necessary to ensure a
community has adequate coverage if a num-
ber of incidents occur at once.
In Plymouth, the police department has
shrunk from12 full-time and two part-time
officers in 1972 to four full-time and several
part-time officers today. Meanwhile, the
borough faces the challenges of a declining
population of taxpayers, empty storefronts,
changing demographics, a high percentage
of renters and a 24 percent poverty rate.
No one expects a small borough to have
the same resources as a large city, which is
why a regional approach to police services
is critical. The Pennsylvania Economy
League estimates that a regional force
would have cost Plymouth approximately
the same yearly cost but would have result-
ed in a more professional complement bet-
ter able to handle the new economic and
social realities that strain resources.
Plymouth is not alone. Communities at
all levels of the socio-economic spectrum in
Northeastern Pennsylvania are sacrificing
full-time police forces to budget constraints,
leaving residents with substandard coverage
that often fails to provide a rapid response,
investigation and arrest when crimes occur.
It is past time for municipal leaders to put
aside differences that have hampered the
creation of regionalized police forces. Area
residents deserve and should demand better
of their local governments.

sylvania Economy Leagues Central Division, based

COMMENTARY
G E R A L D C R O S S
A
FTER A five-week
vacation, anybody
heading back to the
office might want to
take things a little slowly.
But Congress cant take too
long to get back to business
and the U.S. Postal Service,
now losing $25 mil-
lion a day, certainly
cant afford daw-
dling by the law-
makers in consider-
ing its plight.
The crisis at the
Postal Service is as
real as it gets. Over
the summer, the
agency had its first
default on a $5.5
billion payment for
health care costs. Soon, an-
other $5.6 billion payment
will be due to cover pension
obligations for 547,000 post-
al workers.
Meanwhile, reforms that
might make it possible for
the Postal Service to recover
from the loss of many first-
class mail customers to email
and other competitors have
been hung up on Capitol Hill
while Congress was in recess.
Senators stepped up in
April, doing the right thing
by passing a reform package
that would save next-day de-
livery for letters within re-
gions and maintain Saturday
service for two years.
In the Republican-con-
trolled House,
however, no pro-
gress has been
made toward rec-
onciling its more
austere view,
which includes a
base-closing-
style commis-
sion to downsize
postal facilities,
end Saturday de-
liveries and offer
buyouts to some mail handle-
rs.
The only certainty is that
the nations mail service is
too valuable to risk failure
under an outdated financial
model. Any further delay in
the overhaul needed to stave
off collapse would be uncon-
scionable especially since
Congress is so well rested.

classes, youll often hear
about the Rule of 3s
that a person can stay
alive for about three days
without water, three weeks
without food.
No sweat, right?
After all, if you are like
many Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania residents, youre accus-
tomed to passing a conve-
nience store on every corner
and having the comfort of a
cellphone that seemingly con-
nects you to the entire world.
But, during September tout-
ed as National Preparedness
Month consider what could
happen during a true calami-
ty.
If a blizzard, for instance,
caused a widespread power
outage and suspended high-
way travel in Luzerne County,
does your cupboard contain
enough peanut butter (or oth-
er rations) to keep you nour-
ished? Do you have a flash-
light? Withworkingbatteries?
If compelled to leave your
home because of a natural or
manmade disaster, would you
remember to take your insur-
ance policy, your prescription
medication?
In short: Will you be ready
when things go wrong?
The question merits careful
consideration by you, your
neighbors and everyone who
lives in this region, where the
flood-prone Susquehanna Riv-
er as recently as 12 months
ago ripped holes through
homes foundations and
whole communities, briefly
threatening to top the Wyom-
ing Valleys levees and do
monumental damage.
Excessive rain and snow, of
course, account for only some
of Luzerne Countys potential
problems. Consider hazards
such as trains transporting
toxic substances past our
towns, vehicles on our inter-
state highways hauling a who-
knows-what assortment of
cargo, plus weather-related
phenomena like lightning-
sparked wildfires and torna-
does. Need we mention the
nuclear power plant?
Promoters of National Pre-
paredness Month dont aimto
alarm. Instead, they want you
to take common-sense precau-
tions such as packing a di-
saster supply kit and devising
a family emergency planthat
can make the difference be-
tween suffering the full brunt
of a calamity or merely ex-
periencing a close call.
Do your part today.

likely contingencies by visit-
ing this website, maintained

The participation of Nasrallah,
who seldom appears in public re-
portedly for fear of assassination,
underscored Hezbollahs appar-
ent determination to use the out-
rage generated by the filmto bol-
ster its standing as a moral force
in the Arab world. The groups
strong backing of Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar Assad, who is facing
a bloody uprising, has cost it con-
siderable support among many
Arabs.
On Sunday, a Hezbollah-con-
trolled television station, Al-Ma-
nar, reported Nasrallah regarded
the issue of the filmas more seri-
ous thanwhats goingoninSyria
-- a position disputed by Syrians
andothers whosayAssads forces
have killed thousands of civil-
ians.
During Mondays rally, Nasral-
lah demanded that the United
States and the international com-
munity block release of the full
film. He insisted the trailer
should no longer be available on
the Internet and called for a boy-
cott of websites that show the
video.
In his comments Sunday, the
Hezbollahchief dismissedas hy-
pocrisy, deception and double
standards the Western argu-
ments that blocking the video
would violate freedomof speech.
He called for an international
resolutioncriminalizing the defa-
mation of heavenly religions.
The U.S. classifies Hezbollah
as a terrorist organization.
While the Hezbollah gathering
was peaceful, protesters infuriat-
ed by the filmclashed with police
Monday in the capital of Afghan-
istan, settingcars andtires ablaze
and chanting anti-American slo-
gans.
Police blocked off the traffic
circle closest to the U.S. Embassy
and other diplomatic missions in
Kabul, and most Westerners
working in the capital were or-
dered by their organizations to
try to stay out of public view.
Mondays unrest broke out
when about 1,000 people gath-
ered near an American base on
the eastern edge of the capital
and began marching toward the
center of the city. Police fired
shots into the air to try to dis-
perse the crowd, but the protes-
ters continued to surge forward.
President Barack Obama
phoned Afghan President Hamid
Karzai, urging himto do what he
couldtostave off violence. Karzai
did not personally issue a public
call for calm, but aides said he
warned local officials and reli-
gious leaders against inciting
riots.
In neighboring Pakistan, pro-
tests against the film intensified
Monday as demonstrators set
ablaze buildings in the northwest
andhurledstones at riot police in
the southern city of Karachi, the
nations commercial hub.
At least one protester was
killed when about 800 demon-
strators clashedwithpoliceinthe
northwest region of Upper Dir,
along the Afghan border, author-
ities said. Protesters torched a
press club and the homes and of-
fices of government officials, said
Muhammad Mukhtiar, a police
officer. Five people were arrest-
ed.
Police did not say how the
demonstrator was killed.
In Karachi, hundreds of stu-
dents affiliated with a fundamen-
talist organization, Islami Jamiat-
e-Talaba, set American flags on
fire, burned tires in the street and
threw stones at police, author-
ities said. Police fired tear gas at
demonstrators and arrested at
least 40 people.
With the protests ratcheting
up, Pakistani Prime Minister Ra-
ja Pervez Ashraf ordered the
blocking of YouTube, the website
on which a video trailer of the
film has been posted. According
to a statement issued by Ashrafs
office, he issued the order after
YouTube refused to heed the ad-
vice of the government of Pakis-
tan to remove the blasphemous
film from its site.

Allowing refunds without
court orders couldopenthe door
to other auction buyers who in-
correctly argue the notice to lien
holders was faulty when they ac-
tually regret their purchases be-
cause of the work and money in-
volved, Rodgers said.
One of the reasons our com-
pany was hired was because the
county didnt want anyone to re-
ceive preferential treatment,
Rodgers said.
Northeast Revenue backs up
buyers of auction properties if
lien holders challenge their pur-
chases, he said.
For example, Rodgers recently
appeared in Commonwealth
Court toarguea financial institu-
tion was properly notified of a
propertys listing at auction. The
institution, which had an out-
standing mortgage on the prop-
erty, is asserting the sale should
be nullified because the notice
wasnt issuedtoaspecificdepart-
ment or employee within the in-
stitution, he said.
Research recommended
Northeast Revenuealsoadded
wording to the August free-and-
clear sale listing emphasizing
prospective buyers should re-
searchpropertytitlesbeforethey
submit a bid to ensure everyone
with a claimwas notified.
Deakos said the only strong
warningwhenshepurchasedthe
properties from two auctions in
2011was that therewerenoguar-
antees on the condition of struc-
tures which she understood.
Her lawsuit seeks $21,000 she
paid for a house at 200 E. Broad
St. in Hazle Township and $940
for a vacant lot at 43 N. James St.
in Hazleton.
Deakos said the current mort-
gage holder of the house was not
notified of the sale and wont re-
lease the claim, even if she pays
part of the $113,000 owed by the
prior owner. Hazle Township al-
so wasnt notified and has de-
manded Deakos comply with a
delinquent order to hook up the
property to a municipal sewer
line, she said.
I cant put inasewer lineif the
mortgage company is going to
foreclose on the property, she
said, noting she also had a pro-
spective buyer for the structure.
Deakos said proper auction
notice wasnt issued to a mort-
gage holder, the owner or Hazle-
ton city on the James Street lot.
Thecityhada$9,000lienagainst
the property for demolishing a
structure on the site, she said.
They sent a constable to the
emptylot toservetheowner, and
if they had looked in the records,
they would have seen he lived in
a high-rise, she said.
Deakos came to last weeks
county council meeting to in-
formcounty officials of the issue
but said she had to leave before
public comment.
Buyers of back-tax properties
should be aware before they sink
a lot of money into them that
they may not be able to officially
own or sell them, Deakos said.

The former Hansons Amuse-
ment Park land in Harveys Lake
is among 1,280 properties
scheduled for Thursdays Lu-
zerne County back-tax auction.
Despite the abundance of
properties, bidding is expected
tobe light because buyers are on
the hook for back taxes and oth-
er liens at the first-stage auction,
known as an upset sale.
If we sell 10, it will be a lot,
said John Rodgers, owner of
Northeast Revenue Service
LLC, the countys tax-claim op-
erator.
Unsold properties will ad-
vance to a free-and-clear sale
next year, when liens are forgi-
ven.

tion after two years of nonpay-
ment. In order to get out of a
sale, property owners who dont
pay up must file for bankruptcy
protection or convince a county
judge they need more time.

swamped Monday with proper-
ty owners making payments.
The 30-acre Hansons proper-
ty, owned by The Villas at Wa-
terwood LLC, is assessed at
$1.29 million and carries
$33,800 in delinquent taxes
from 2010 and 2011.

CAIRO Ambassador Chris
Stevens was still breathing when
Libyans stumbled across him in-
side a roomin the American Con-
sulate in Benghazi, pulled him
out and drove him to a hospital
after last weeks deadly attack in
the eastern Libyan city, witness-
es told The Associated Press on
Monday.
Fahd al-Bakoush, a freelance
videographer, was among the Li-
byan civilians searching through
the consulate after gunmen and
protesters rampaged through it
last Tuesday night. Al-Bakoush
said he heard someone call out
that he had tripped over a body.
A group of people gathered as
several menpulledthe seemingly
lifeless formfromthe room. They
saw he was alive and a foreigner,
though no one recognized himas
Stevens, al-Bakoush said.
He was breathing and his eye-
lids flickered, he said. I tested
his pulse and he was alive, he
said No doubt. His face was
blackened and he was like a para-
lyzed person.
Video taken
by al-Bakoush
and posted on
YouTube shows
Stevens being
carried out of a
small dark
room through a
windowwith a raised shutter and
being laid on the floor. One man
touches his neck to feel for a
pulse. Some of the men shout,
God is great.
Stevens and three other Amer-
icans were killed in the attack on
theconsulate, part of awaveof as-
saults on U.S. diplomatic mis-
sions in Muslim countries over a
low-budget movie made in the
United States that denigrates the
Prophet Muhammad.
The accounts of all three wit-
nesses mesh with that of the doc-
tor who treated Stevens that
night.
A freelance photographer who
was withal-Bakoushat the scene,
Abdel-Qader Fadl, said Stevens
was unconscious and maybe
moved his head, but only once.
Ahmed Shams, a 22-year-old

PLAINS TWP. -- Wilkes-
Barre Career & Technical Cen-
ter students who need to make
up an academic course could
soon have another option be-
sides summer school or mak-
ing it up in their home district
after the schools joint operat-
ing committee approved look-
ing into an arrangement with a
cyber school.
The committee voted unani-
mously Monday to allow the
schools administration and
staff to evaluate setting up a
cyber school, in which all in-
struction and assignments are
done electronically on a com-
puter, in cooperation with Se-
neca Valley Cyber School.
Administrative Director Pe-
ter Halesey said the arrange-
ment with the established cyb-
er school would let students
who have failed an academic
class make up that class.
Halesey said this would pro-
vide an additional opportunity
for students to make up the
work besides taking summer
courses or spending time at
their home school to make it
up. He said it was too early to
tell how many students might
benefit from the cyber school
arrangement.
The board also voted to ap-
prove a salary adjustment for
practical nursing school assist-
ant director Laura Zdancewicz
to raise her salary to $73,399
effective immediately and pro-
rated for the remainder of the
school year. Administrators
from the nursing program said
they were unsure what Zdan-
cewiczs salary was before the
increase.
In other business, the board:
Approved Cheryl Fuller
and Elaine Craig as per-diem
appointments for the practical
nursing program
Approved payment of $156
to attorney Ray Wendolowski
for services from July 1 to Aug.
31 and $653 to attorney Jack
Dean for services from July 1-
31.

Some county officials and observers
have urged Medico Olenginski to give up
her pay, but Lawton did not make that ar-
gument.
However, Stretton told Lawton the
suggestion that she should not be entit-
led to her salary is ridiculous.
Stretton said most other prothonotar-
ies in the state are paid double, if not tri-
ple, her salary.
She has worked many long hours for a
very low salary, and she gets no recogni-
tion of the efforts she gave to this county,
he wrote.
Lawton said in his dismissal letter, sup-
plied by Medico Olenginski, that he tried
several times to include Medico Olengin-
ski in plans to reduce a backlog in the
criminal court office and help merge the
civil and criminal court record offices as
required by home rule.
He said the newcharter requires a uni-
fied vision and a collaborative approach.
Stretton said Medico Olenginski was
fully cooperating with changes re-
quired by home rule.
Quite frankly, it appears that she is be-
ing retaliated against because she was
one of the few that would stand up and
raise issues and questions, Stretton
wrote.

HANOVER TWP. In the scoring-
friendly, division-less Wyoming Valley
Conference girls soccer league, goalkeep-
ing performances like that of Lake-Leh-
mans Amelia Jenkins have been few and
far between.
Jenkins, along with teammate Kaylee
Kishbaugh, shut out Hanover Area on
Monday to leadthe Black Knights to a 4-0
victory.
Our goalie made
some great saves in the
beginning of the game
that kept us in, Lake-
Lehman coach Kelly
Adamshick said. So we
were able to calm down
and relax, and played
our game then.
The Lake-Lehman senior kept the
Hawkeyes at bay while the Black Knight
offense struggled to find its rhythmin the
first half.
She made three brilliant saves on a bi-
zarre corner-kick opportunity in the 31st
minute. In a scoreless tie, Jenkins batted
down an Amelia Hossage corner and
made two quick saves as the ball dribbled
in front of the box. Defender Karen Yam-
rick then stopped a shot with her fore-
headtoendthefour-shot Hawkeyethreat.
I amat a loss for words, Hanover Area
coach Brian Bannon said. They just
didnt head the ball right. If you come up
and go through it like youre taught, its
in.
Jenkins made seven saves in 50 min-
utes to stave off the pesky Hanover Area
offense. Kishbaugh, a Northwest student,
stopped two shots.

The Collective Bargaining
Agreement for the American

Over the weekend the Pitts-

more could be on the way if they
are able to negotiate an AHLcon-

were either on last seasons Clear
Day roster, finished the season
with an AHL team or played in
the AHL postseason are eligible
to ink contracts allowing themto
play in the league while the NHL
is in a lockout. Such a contract
would be void if the NHL re-

Edberg-Olson Hall and avoided
stepping into a controversy.
The reserve quarterback for
Temple could have declared this
Saturdays
game at Penn
State a grudge
match, consid-
ering he left
State College
last year with
badfeelings. In-
stead, the for-
mer Nittany Lion was diplomat-
ic.
No, no special feelings, the
junior saidof returningtoBeaver
Stadiumto face his former team.
Themost important gameof the
seasonis always thenext game. . .
. It shouldbe treatedas such.
Newsome could have fired
back at Penn State, where he lost
a quarterback competition to
Rob Bolden in 2010. In fact, Matt
McGloin, who later became the
starter, beat Newsomeout forthe
backup spot that season.
Newsome was asked which
Nittany Lions he has communi-
cated with since becoming an
Owl inAugust.
None, he said.
He spent 21/2 years at Penn
State and became an Omega Psi
Phi fraternity member.
Im not going to treat it like a
homecoming, because Penn
State is not my home, he said.
My home is Philadelphia. The
Temple Owls are who I play for.

ATLANTAMatt Ryanthrew
his 100th career touchdown pass,
Roddy White had 102 yards re-
ceiving and the Atlanta Falcons
defeated the Denver Broncos and
error-prone quarterback Peyton
Manning 27-21on Monday night.
The Falcons (2-0) took advan-
tage of three interceptions by
Manning in the first quarter and
raced to a 20-0 lead. Manning
brought the Broncos (1-1) back
with two fourth-quarter scoring
drives, but it wasnt enough to
make up for his awful start.
The only other time hes been
intercepted three times in the
opening quarter was with the
Colts in a 2007 game at San Die-
go.
Ryan was much more efficient,
completing24 of 36 for 219 yards.
He hooked up with Tony Gonza-
lez for a1-yardtouchdownpass in
the second quarter, then went to
White on a 4-yard score in the
third period.
After his horrible start, Man-
ning finally connected with De-
maryius Thomas on a17-yard TD
pass with 6 seconds left in the
first half.
But Ryan guided the Falcons
on a 64-yard drive that put the
home team solidly in control
heading to the final quarter.
On the games third play from
scrimmage, Manning threw into
triple coverage to Jacob Tamme,
but Falcons strongsafety William
Moore stepped in front of the
tight end for an interception.
Moore ran down the left side-
line 33 yards before Orlando
Franklin tackled him at the 1.
Falcons running back Michael
Turner ran twice over the left
side of the line before jumping
over a stack of Atlanta and Den-
ver linemen to cross the ball over
the goal line for a 7-0 lead with
13:20 left in the first quarter.

On the business side of
things, the NHL lockout wont
be much of an impact to the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins.
Marketing strategies may be
tweaked a bit to attract hockey-
starved fans fromout of the area
and attendance may rise a bit,
but Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
CEO Jeff Barrett would gladly
pass on those perks if it meant
gettingthe NHLbackonthe ice.
"(The lockout) is not goodfor
the game," Barrett said. "A
healthy NHL makes a healthy
AHL."
The last time a lockout took
place in the NHL it resulted in
the loss of the 2004-2005 sea-
son. While the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins were still
selling out most of their games
at that time, there was a rise in
attendance throughout the
AHL.
According to Jason Chaimo-
vitch, vice president of commu-
nications for the AHL, attend-
ance rose 6.5percent from2003-
2004 to 2004-2005 when the
NHL lockout took place.
If lockout persists,

Tigers tried to turn the inning-
ending double play, but Alex
Rios slid hard into second
baseman Infante and forced an
errant throw that got by Prince
Fielder as two runs scored,
giving Chicago the lead.
Detroit won the season se-
ries 12-6 and captured 9 of the
final 11 games between the
teams, including two of three
last week before the four-game
series finale was postponed.
Red Sox 5, Rays 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Jacoby Ellsbury homered and
drove in three runs, Aaron
Cook stopped his five-game
losing streak and Boston beat
Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay, coming off a 1-5
road trip to Baltimore and New
York, fell 5
1
2 games behind the
AL East-leading Yankees. The
Rays started play four games
back of the Orioles who
were at Seattle later Monday
night for the second AL
wild-card spot.
CHICAGO Omar Infantes
throwing error on a potential
double play helped Chicago
scored two runs in the fifth
inning Monday and the White
Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4
in a pivotal makeup game.
Chicago increased its lead in
the AL Central to three games.
Nate Jones (8-0) pitched 2
2-3 innings of one-hit relief and
the White Sox won their fourth
straight.
The game had been post-
poned by rain last Thursday
and Mondays makeup was the
final meeting of the season
between the two front runners
in the division.
Addison Reed, the last of
three relievers in the ninth, got
the final out for his 27th save
in 31 chances.
Trailing 4-3, the White Sox
loaded the bases for a third
straight inning in the fifth,
driving out Detroit starter
Doug Fister (9-9).

ARLINGTON, Texas Tex-
as Rangers manager Ron Wash-
ington held out one hand, then
the other.
Another division title is with-
in reach for the two-time de-
fending American League
champions, and that is Wash-
ingtons way of demonstrating
how they have their destiny in
their own hands.
As long as they can stay
ahead of the surprising Oak-
land Athletics in the AL West.
Even with the ALs best re-
cord and being a season-high 28
games above .500, the Rangers
(87-59) are still in a tight divi-
sion race with the young As
the closest chaser instead of the
expected Los Angeles Angels.
Everything is in front us,
Washington said. Oakland, ev-
erybody thought they were go-
ing to go away. They dont
seem to be going away.
With 16 games left after their
final off day of the regular sea-
son Monday, the Rangers lead
the As by three games. The An-
gels, who added slugger Albert
Pujols and former Texas lefty
C.J. Wilson last winter, were 7
1/2 games back.
Hopefully for the rest of the
season, well be able to just win
series, said outfielder David
Murphy, sixth in the AL with a
.314 batting average after be-
coming an everyday player.
And well be in a good spot.
Texas has won eight of its
last nine series, and 11 of 13,
after taking two of three games
against Seattle over the week-
end. The Rangers havent lost
consecutive games in more
than a month.
And yet their division lead
shrunk to two games the
smallest in more than five
months, since the first week of
the season when the As won
eight of nine games. Oakland
lost at home to Baltimore on
Sunday, the first time in 10 days
Texas was able to add a game
to its division lead that was 5
1/2 games at the start of that
stretch.
The Rangers play seven of
their last 10 games against Oak-
land, which is 41-19 since the
All-Star break. But they play at
Los Angeles and Seattle this
week before
coming home
for four games
against the
As, then three
more against
the Angels.
The season-
ending series
at Oakland is
in two weeks.
Ryan Demp-
ster, who has
won five con-
secutive starts
with a 1.91
ERA and 36
strikeouts in
33 innings,
starts the
Tuesday night
series opener against the An-
gels and Jered Weaver (17-4).
The right-hander is 6-1 since
getting traded from the Chica-
go Cubs just minutes before the
July 31 non-waiver deadline.
His first start for Texas was at
home two days later against the
Angels, when he gave up eight
runs in 4 2-3 innings the
same number of runs the Rang-
ers scored in 5 1-3 innings off
Wilson that night in a game
they eventually won 15-9.
Dempster, who also allowed
eight runs in a loss at the Yan-
kees before his current winning
streak, called it exciting to be in
a pennant chase with a team
that has been to the last two
World Series. He has a sense
why the Rangers have been
able to have that kind of suc-
cess.

Two Penn State football defen-
sive players have been honored
by the Big Ten Conference.
Senior linebacker Michael
Mauti and redshirt freshman de-
fensive end Deion Barnes were
recognized for their efforts in
Penn States 34-7 win over Navy
last Saturday.
Mauti was selectedBigTenDe-
fensive Player of the Week for the
second time in his career and
Barnes was named the confer-
ences Co-Freshman of the Week
for the first time.
Mauti previously earned Big
Ten weekly honors after the
Northwestern game in 2010.
Mauti led a defensive effort
that resulted in forcing four turn-
overs, including one defensive
touchdown, and holding Navy to
just seven points and 4 of 15 on
third down conversions to boost
Coach Bill OBrien to his first ca-
reer win. Mauti posted a game-
high 12 tackles (seven solo) for
his fifth career game with 10 or
more tackles and second this sea-
son. The Butkus Award candi-
date alsorecordedhis first sackof
the season (minus-21 yards) and
had two tackles for loss (mi-
nus-26). He led a defensive effort
that resulted in season highs of
four sacks and nine TFL.
For the season, Mauti leads
Penn State and is No. 3 in the Big
Ten with 33 tackles (17 solo),
with one forced fumble, one fum-
ble recovery and a pass break-up.
Playing in his third career
game, Barnes shares his first Big
Ten honor with Indiana quarter-
back Nate Sudfeld. Making his
second start, Barnes recorded a
season-high five tackles (three
solo), including his third sack of
the young season. He forced his
second fumble of the year on a
sack on a Navy fourth down play
fromthe PSU31-yard-line early in
thethirdquarter withtheNittany
Lions leading, 20-0.
Barnes is tied for second in the
Big Ten with three sacks and tied
for No. 1 in the conference with
two forced fumbles. Barnes has
seven tackles (five solo), with
three sacks and two forced fum-
bles.

of the game on one of Emily Sut-
tons two goals. Sutton maneu-
vered through the middle of the
field to strike the corner of the
net in the 32nd minute.
The Black Knight offense
opened the second half with a
more driven authority, piling on
three goals in a 17-minute span.
Shoshana Mahoney added the
second goal off a Sutton feed to
engineer the scoring frenzy.
Morgan Goodrich stole a ball
off a defender and launched a
strike from 20 yards, and Sutton
capped the offensive output with
her second tally of the game.
Well, the first half was terri-
ble, Adamshick said.
Second half was much better.
We just played with confidence
and put the ball on the ground,
made some great passes. We set-
tled down and put the ball in the
net.
Hanover Area (3-3) was held
scoreless, despite controlling
possession for the majority of the
first half.
The Hawkeyes held a 19-16 ad-
vantageinshots, anda 7-2edgein
corner kicks.
The Hawkeyes nearly scored
on two Caitlyn Bogart indirect
kicks from over 30 yards out that
just sailed over the crossbar.
We just couldnt put it in the
net, Bannon said. Thats pretty
much how this year has been go-
ing. We lost one of our top goal
scorers (Gabby Murphy), and
were just looking for someone to
step up. We have a pretty young
crew.

center Jason Kelce will miss at
least four to six weeks because
of a tore knee ligament, and its
possible he could face season-
ending surgery.
Kelce injured his right knee in
Philadelphias 24-23 win over
Baltimore on Sunday. An MRI
on Monday revealed he tore his
medial collateral ligament and
has a partial tear of the anterior
cruciate ligament.
Eagles head athletic trainer
Rick Burkholder said Kelces
MCL needs at least four to six
weeks to heal.
Kelce will undergo further
testing on Tuesday to determine
whether his ACL needs to be
reconstructed. If so, hell miss
the rest of the season.
Redskins
ASHBURN, Va. The early
glow from Robert Griffin IIIs
fast start faded quickly for the
Washington Redskins on Mon-
day when defensive starters
Brian Orakpo and Adam Carrik-
er were declared out for the
season.
Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker
Orakpo tore the pectoral muscle
near his left shoulder, and defen-
sive end Carriker tore the quad
tendon in his right knee in the
first quarter of Sundays 31-28
loss to the St. Louis Rams.
The injuries rob two players
from a team that has allowed 63
points and more than 800 yards
in its first two games, tempering
the early promise by Redskins
(1-1) have shown with rookie
quarterback Griffin.
Its an opportunity for some-
body else now, linebacker Lon-
don Fletcher said. Were a
no-excuse football team.
Orakpo had surgery on the
same shoulder after a suffering
tear in the final game of last
season, then damaged some
scar tissue in the shoulder dur-
ing a preseason game last
month.
Coach Mike Shanahan said
the latest tear is in a different
part of the muscle. Orakpo will
have surgery and require four
months of recovery time.
Orakpo, a first-round draft
pick in 2009, had at least 8
1
2
sacks in each of his first three
NFL seasons. He was injured
Sunday while making his first
and only sack of this sea-
son. He returned to the game
twice but was unable to keep
playing.
Hes obviously everything
you look for in a Pro Bowl play-
er, Shanahan said. And well
miss him.
Shanahan said Rob Jackson
and Chris Wilson, a pair of ca-
reer backups without an NFL
start between them, will com-
pete to take Orakpos outside
linebacker spot.
Carriker was hurt on the
Rams second offensive play and
did not return. The fifth-year
veteran, who had 5
1
2 sacks a
year ago, will require five
months of rehabilitation after
his surgery.
He will be replaced by Jarvis
Jenkins, a 2011 second-round
pick who missed his entire roo-
kie season with a knee injury.

The Associated Press
starting job at quarterback.
The 21-year-old, who left Penn
State in August 2011, was out of
football for ayear whileattending
Tidewater (Va.) Community Col-
lege, which does not have a foot-
ball team. So in addition to being
unfamiliar with Temples offense
this summer, he wasnt in peak
shape.
After being denied a waiver to
transfer to Temple in January,
Newsome took courses at Tide-
water until the end of July. So he
was way behind Coyer and back-
up Juice Granger during training
camp.
Since the season began, he has
been leading the scout team in
practice. However, the Port-
smouth, Va., native did line up at
wideout during Wednesdays
practice.
I woulddefinitelydowhatever
is needed for the team, News-
ome said of a possible position
switch. You knowif I can help in
any regards or any way to help
giveusachancetowin, I woulddo
whatever I havetodo, becauseits
all about the team, the team, the
team.
Newsome said he approached
Temple coach Steve Addazio
about moving to wideout or safe-
ty after last Saturdays 36-27 loss
to Maryland.
Addazio was not available to
comment.
Newsome is confident that he
can provide a spark at wideout, if
needed, even though he has not
playedthe position.
You cant coach heart, he
said. Youarebornwithambition.
Youarebornwithheart andinteg-
rity inyour profession.
Andthisismyprofession. Win-
ning games for the Temple Owls
is my profession.
Two years ago, Newsome ex-
pected to be handed Penn States
startingquarterbackpositionas a
sophomore, replacing the gradu-
atedDaryll Clark.
Instead, Newsome walked the
sideline for most of the season,
throwing just 13 passes. He did
not gowiththeteamtothat years
Outback Bowl, and disconsolate-
ly walked away from State Col-
lege the following August.
A year later, he says his only
goal istomakehisteammatesbet-
ter.

he said. I want to do the best for

S P O R T S
The best way to describe the
play of Laura Wingert with the
Elizabethtown womens soccer
team is consistent. Coach Jason
Petronis has a few more adjec-
tives.
Lauras value to our team and
our program cant be measured,
he said. Her
work ethic,
leadership and
constant ener-
gy on the field
are invaluable.
Wingert
(Holy Redeem-
er) is in her
fourth season
with the Blue Jays. She has been
named to the Commonwealth
Conference first team her previ-
ous three seasons. She entered
this season with 19 goals and 19
assists for 57 points and had
played in 54 games and started
52.
This season, Elizabethtown is
off to a 3-0-3 start and Wingert
has had a big hand in compiling
that record. She had the winning
goal in a 2-1victory over Lasell to
give the Blue Jays the season-
opening Lasell Kick-Off Tourna-
ment title. And, last weekend,
she had an assist on the goal that
tied Eastern 1-1.
This season, Laura has a solid
supporting staff around her so
shes able to focus more on an at-
tacking role, Petronis said. So,
its just more of the same for her
hard work, unselfish play and a
ton of energy on the pitch.
NEWSPOT FOR LEO Soph-
omore Emily Leo (Crestwood)
has started all eight games for
the No. 23-ranked Fairfield field
hockey team, the Lady Stags
standing at 5-3 after a 5-0 loss to
No. 16 Michigan last Saturday.
Leo has picked up a pair of as-
sists.
Emily is playing a new posi-
tion for us this fall as a right de-
fender, coach Jackie Kane said.
She is learning her newrole and
excelling in creating interception
opportunities, positive tackles
and a right-side attack. She has
great speed on the ball and sees
the field well distributing the ball
to her teammates. She is a hard
worker and a team player.
Freshman Kristian Stefanides
of Forty Fort (Wyoming Semina-
ry) is also on the squad. Shes
played in all eight games off the
bench and also has picked up two
assists.
WALLACE DOING THE JOB
Sophomore Kyle Wallace is
starting at left guard on offense
for the Villanova football team
which is off to a 2-1 start. The 6-
foot-2, 285-pounder from Larks-
ville (Wyoming Valley West and
Wyoming Seminary) has helped
the Wildcats rush for over 200
yards in all three games 244
yards and four touchdowns in a
31-10 victory over Rhode Island
last Saturday, 287 in a 28-13 tri-
umph over Fordham and 212 in a
40-10 loss to Temple, a Football
Champion Subdivision school.
Its the first time in 20 years that
Villanova has accomplished that
feat.
Kyle has emerged as a main-
stay along the offensive line,
head coach Andy Talley said. He
had a terrific preseason camp
and really took ownership of the
left guard spot. He brings a
toughness and a good under-
standing of the game. He has a
bright future here at Villanova.
Wallace played in nine games
and started five for the Wildcats
last year as a true freshman.
Villanova will face Penn Satur-
day in Philadelphia.
PHILLIPS LEADS THE WAY
Senior Shauna Phillips (Dallas)
is a key performer on the Widen-
er womens volleyball team,
which is 8-8 after sweeping four
games in the Neumann Universi-
ty Knights Invitation in Aston.
The 6-foot middle hitter has 94
kills, 31 blocks and 22 digs and
has a .236 attack percentage. She
entered her final season with 356
kills, 146 blocks and 70 digs in 79
matches.
Shauna has emerged as our
top middle hitter, coach Dono-
van Anglin said. She is being re-
lied on to carry a great portion of
the offensive load. She has
evolved into an offensive weapon
in the middle as well as a force at
the net with her blocking.
Phillips is also serving as a tri-
captain this season.
Shauna is relied upon not on-
ly for her leadership on, but off
the court as well, Anglin said.
Im expecting a great year from
her.
FOUR HELP THE ROCK
Slippery Rock field hockey coach
Julie (Zoolkoski) Swiney played
her high school field hockey at
Crestwood so its not surprising
that she has four former Wyom-
ing Valley Conference players on
her squad senior Gabrielle Mal-
ishchak (Nanticoke) and Ally
Banks (Coughlin) and sopho-
mores Lindsay Brown (Crest-
wood) and Courtney Lee (Holy
Redeemer). All four are starting
for The Rock.
Midfielders Malishchak has
picked up an assist and Banks
two assists are key performers on
defense.
Both are very well-rounded
players and have been difference-
makers for us, Swiney said.
They are the core of our offense
and defensive corner units. And,
as captains, they are the leaders
of our team on and off the field.
Brown has also picked up an
assist thus far while keeper Lee
has given up six goals and has 31
saves with a shutout.
Lindsay and Courtney have
really matured fromlast season,
Swiney said. Lindsay has be-
come a consistent player with a
great game sense in the offensive
end of the field. Courtney has im-
proved her technical skill and
more importantly her communi-
cation which has helped our
team defense tremendously.
The Rock is 3-3. After opening
with three victories, the teamran
into a buzz saw the past week
losing 2-1 to No. 1-ranked Ship-
pensburg, 1-0 to No. 2 Blooms-
burg and 2-0 to No. 6 Millersville.
STIREWALT, SOKACH SOL-
ID Junior Sunny Stirewalt of
Shavertown and sophomore Car-
ly Sokach of West Pittston, both
former Wyoming Seminary ath-
letes, are off to good starts with
the Penn field hockey team.
Stirewalt, an attack, has scored
two goals for the 3-3 Quakers, the
goals coming in a 5-2 victory over
Lehigh and a 5-4 triumph over
Liberty.
Sunny came in with a great
fitness level and that has really
helped her game, coach Colleen
Fink said. Now shes fast and
quick. She already had the ability
but now shes going at the pace
we need. Now she can shake de-
fenders and I really see her com-
ing into her own.
Sokach has played every sec-
ond in the goal after having seen
action in just three games with
one start as a freshman. She has
given up 19 goals and has 36
saves.
Carly makes incredible saves
in practice and once she trans-
mits that to games she will really
come into her own, Fink said.
She went from a player who
didnt see much action to a per-
son that the teamrelies on. Once
she gains a little more faith and
confidence with the fact that she
is our leader on defense, she will
be fine.
DUTTER READY TO PLAY
Sophomore Zach Dutter (Dallas)
has played in all seven games off
the bench for the Springfield
mens soccer team, the Pride cur-
rently 1-6.
Zach came in last year as a
great talent with great skills on
the ball but was not ready for the
physical aspect for college soc-
cer, coach Steffen Siebert said.
This year he seems to have the
right attitude and fitness which it
takes to compete at this level.
The coach said that Dutter is
also working a lot on his tactical
awareness compared to last year.
I believe that Zach can have
an even bigger input on the team
this year because of the changes
hes made, Siebert said.
JACOBER KNOWS HER
ROLE Senior Rony Jacober
(Hazleton Area) is not only a key
performer for the Delaware Val-
ley field hockey team, but the 5-
foot-2 midfielder is important for
another role with the Aggies.
As a captain, Rony under-
stands that her role is to lead on
and off the field, coach Carol Di-
Girolamo said. She has helped
the team refocus and strive for a
better season than last year (3-14
overall and 1-6 in the Freedom
Conference).
The Aggies are 2-3 after a 1-0
victory over Juniata last Satur-
day. Jacober picked up a goal and
an assist in a 3-2 loss to Cabrini.
Ronys skill has continued to
get better every year, DiGirola-
mo said. She plays an important
role on our midfield line. We de-
pend on her to spark our of-
fense.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. JR
Motorsports parted ways Mon-
day with crew chief Tony Eury
Jr., 10 days after his father was
oustedas competitiondirector.
Eury Jr. was crew chief for
Danica Patrick and is a partial
owner of the Nationwide Se-
ries team.
I had hoped he would be
here for a long time, but as
weve discussed the direction
of JR Motorsports moving for-
ward, it was clear our differenc-
es in ideas were too vast to
overcome, said Dale Earn-
hardt Jr., one of four owners of
the race team.
Earnhardt Jr. and Eury Jr.
are cousins, and Eury Jr. was
his crewchief for many years at
the Sprint Cup level.
I love him like a brother,
and youll never hear me say a
bad thing about him, Earn-
hardt said. I know hell have
much success in anything he
does going forward.
JR Motorsports on Sept. 7
released Tony Eury Sr. as com-
petition director after a discus-
sion with him about team per-
formance.
JR Motorsports has won
nine Nationwide races, but
none since Jamie McMurrays
win at Atlanta in 2010.
The team this year fields
cars for Patrick and Cole
Whitt, and is winless on the
season.

If the lockout proves tobe leng-
thy this year, Barrett said its pos-
sible the Penguins will make
some attempts to lure fans
starved to see some hockey and
perhaps boost their own attend-
ance. Last season the Penguins
had five sell-outs and ranked11th
in the league with an average at-
tendance of 6,028.
"It wouldnt make any sense to
re-brand our marketing cam-
paign on a lockout that may not
last," he said. "What we may find
ourselves doing is going for peo-
ple outside the area."
That doesnt include Pitts-
burgh, which is five hours away
andisnt logisticallyfeasibletoat-
tract fans to Wilkes-Barre. Bar-
rett said 90 percent of the teams
fans are within a 45-50 mile radi-
us of Wilkes-Barre, so attracting
fans fromPhiladelphia on a regu-
lar isnt likely. Besides, Barrett
added, getting Flyers fans to root
for a team affiliated with the
Pittsburgh Penguins wont hap-
pen.
But what Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton may do is market specific
games that may appeal to fans
from NHL cities. The Penguins
host the Flyers AHL affiliate - the
Adirondack Phantoms, twice
during the regular season. Those
games may be a draw to fans in
Philadelphia if the lockout per-
sists.
"We may have to evaluate
those types of games," Barrett
said.
BENEFIT
Continued from Page 1B
be getting some familiar faces,
namely defensemen Robert Bor-
tuzzo and Brian Strait and for-
ward Eric Tangradi. Hynes said
the three players are in discus-
sions with management about
the prospect of playing in the
AHL.
"Theres a possibility that
could happen," he said. "I would
anticipate it by the end of this
week or early next week. Defi-
nitely before camp."
AHL training camps can open
on Sept. 28 and they all will be
crowded thanks to the lockout.
Considering that players were
sent to their AHL teams all at
once - as opposed to the waves of
cuts that occur during a typical
training camp, Hynes said he will
make some adjustments to how
he runs things.
"We might have to split them
into two groups so they all get
enough work in," Hynes said.
"They also havent went through
the rookie camp or Pittsburgh, so
for the younger players it will be a
lot more teaching time. But all
theplayers shouldbemorerested
and eager."
Because of the crowded condi-
tions, Hynes said, Wheeling and
all East Coast Hockey League
teams will benefit from the glut
of talent coming down fromAHL
camps.
"The rules in place really
strengthen the AHL and ECHL
by allowing so many talented
players to play here and, because
theres only so many spots in the
AHL, it will make the ECHL
stronger," he said.
From an AHL coachs stand-
point, the lockout does present
some benefits as well. Hynes, for
example, knows his training
camp roster fromday one and, af-
ter the season begins, he wont
have to worry about a player get-
ting called up to Pittsburgh the
day of a game.
Or anytime for that matter, as
long as the lockout persists.
"Its nice tohave that roster sta-
bility, but onthe flipside the play-
ers still need to invest the time
and make their case here to go
back to the NHL when it does re-
turn," Hynes said. "This will be
the only game in town, so there
will bealot morescouts andNHL
coaches and management paying
attention."

Air Products keeps rank
Lehigh Valley-based Air Products,
which has a plant in Hanover Town-
ship, has again been ranked among the
top 10 percent of companies in its in-
dustry sector as a component of the
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
2012/2013.
In addition to the World Index, Air
Products also is a component of the
Dow Jones Sustainability North Amer-
ica Index, a sub-set of the World Index,
which places it among the top 20 per-
cent of companies in its sector in North
America.
Oil takes sudden plunge
Oil plunged suddenly Monday after-
noon, dropping more than $4 per barrel
at one point in a dramatic end to an
otherwise quiet trading day in New
York,
Benchmark crude fell $2.38, or 2.4
percent, to finish at $96.62 on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. Thats the
biggest percentage decline since July
23. Oil plunged below $95 per barrel
during the sell-off.
Traders were unsure of the cause of
Mondays price drop. Some questioned
whether an errant trade or another
rumor about a release of oil from the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve was to
blame.
CAW reaches Ford pact
The Canadian auto union said Mon-
day it has reached a tentative deal with
Ford.
The Canadian Auto Workers union
had told its members Monday it was
optimistic strikes can be averted with
the Detroit three automakers after the
union decided to focus talks on reac-
hing a deal with Ford, but it warned a
midnight strike could still happen at
any or all three.
NLRB lawyer targeted
The top lawyer at the National Labor
Relations Board violated federal ethics
rules by helping investigate a case
involving Wal-Mart Stores Inc. despite
holding a financial interest in the com-
pany, the boards inspector general has
found.
NLRB Inspector General David Ber-
ry issued a report Sept. 13 finding that
general counsel Lafe Solomon took
part in discussions about whether
Wal-Marts social media policy violated
the law even though Solomon owned
about $18,000 worth of Wal-Mart stock.

WELL, AS PRE-
DICTED, the
launch of the
iPhone 5 drove
Apple fans into a
frenzy, and pumped
sales to stratospher-
ic heights a whopping 2 million
in the first 24 hours. Naturally
that rate of sale will decline to
more reasonable levels in the
coming days.
Featuring high-speed 4G LTE
connectivity, these devices are
capable of consuming substantially
more data than previous models.
Its only natural to assume that
users of the latest iPhones will be
putting the connectivity of their
new devices through quite a work-
out video calls, YouTube up-
loads, high-speed music down-
loads and the like.
Curiously, the iPhone 5s 4G is
incompatible with European 4G
networks, in contrast to other 4G
phones which can be used in-
ternationally and while there
was rampant speculation that
NFC (Near Field Communica-
tions) capability would be offered
in the iPhone 5, allowing users to
pay at the checkout counter with
just a swipe of the device, that
hasnt happened.
Still, its a big leap from 3G to
4G, and obviously people are buy-
ing the new iPhone in droves.
But will any of them spare a
moment of thought for the net-
works? Probably not. An interest-
ing tidbit it IS possible to run
out of Internet or, more correct-
ly its possible for a carrier to
max out the amount of data its
network can handle at any given
moment. As more and more new
4G devices come online, this prob-
lem will only get worse.
There are some bright spots
amid all of this cloudiness. 4G
signals are specifically designed to
carry data efficiently, so the prob-
lem is not as bad as it would oth-
erwise be. In addition, most pro-
viders are investing large amounts
of money in infrastructure up-
grades adding capacity to their
networks to cope with future in-
creases. On top of that, theyre
running out of usable spectrum.
The government, the FCC in par-
ticular, periodically auctions off
different chunks of the radio spec-
trum for use by commercial carri-
ers and the word is that the
government is planning on making
more available to commercial car-
riers, from frequencies previously
reserved for military use.
Even so, the radio spectrum
the usable portions at least is
finite, and while its not an imme-
diate issue, its possible were just
a few revolutionary gadgets away
from an Internet traffic jam
slowdowns caused by too many
people trying to use the network
at the same time. And at the rate
mobile devices are being phased
in, by the time this happens, it
wont just be an inconvenience
it will have far-reaching implica-
tions for everything from e-mail
to e-commerce.
This is, in part, why some pro-
viders have taken unlimited data
plans off the table.
Despite that, most carriers are
confident that, for the time being,
their networks will remain rela-
tively quick and efficient. Time
will tell whether that confidence
is realistic or merely born out of
hubris.

NEW YORK The number of
long delays in July involving
planes stuck on airport tarmacs
was more than the previous eight
months combined, the govern-
ment said Monday.
Twenty-eight planes were stuck
on the ground at U.S. airports for
more than three hours that
month, the height of the summer
travel season. Eighteen of those
planes were operated by U.S. car-
riers.
Sixteen of the U.S. flights were
going in or out of Chicago OHare
on July 13, a day of severe thun-
derstorms.
All of the longest delays were
on regional carriers that operate
smaller jets for larger airlines.
There was only one interna-
tional flight that sat on the
ground for more than four hours,
and its susceptible to a big fine.
Caribbean Airlines flight 526
from Georgetown, Guyana to
New Yorks JFK Airport sat on
the ground for four hours and
three minutes. U.S. and interna-
tional airlines can be fined up to
$27,500 per passenger if a flight
is stuck for more than three
hours.
The last time there were more
three hour delays in a single
month was October 2011. There
was just one long delay last July.
Overall, flights were less on-
time in July than they were in
both June 2012 and July 2011.
United Airlines, which has a
base in Chicago, had the worst
on-time rate.
US Airways had the best on-
time rate for a network carrier,
but Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska
Airlines topped the overall list.
As more flights were stuck and
passengers grew frustrated, they
complained much more.
The Department of Transporta-
tion received just under 2,500
complaints in July, almost double
a year earlier and up 50 percent
from June.
They also had more reason to
complain about lost or damaged
bags.
The mishandled baggage rate
fell from a year earlier but was up
from June.

IOWA CITY, Iowa Federal prosecu-
tors on Monday appealed a judges order
that would free a disgraced businessman
while he awaits sentencing for a $200 mil-
lionfraudscheme at his Iowa-basedbroker-
age.
The U.S. Attorneys Office in Cedar Rap-
ids filedpaperworkaskingChief Judge Lin-
da Reade to keep Peregrine Financial
GroupCEORuss Wasendorf Sr. detainedat
the LinnCounty jail. Reade ruledhours lat-
er that Wasendorf would stay behind bars
while she considered the appeal.
Prosecutors said Wasendorf presents a
risk of fleeing abroad or committing sui-
cide before his sentencing hearing, which
has not been scheduled.
He is likely to face a recommended sen-
tence of at least 24 years to life in prison,
they disclosed in the filing.
The filingcame hours before the 64-year-
old Wasendorf was to appear in federal
court in Cedar Rapids to plead guilty to
mail fraud, embezzling customer funds
and lying to regulators.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jon Scoles ruled
last weekthat Wasendorf couldbe released
to live with his pastor in suburban Cedar
Rapids after he formally entered his guilty
pleas, saying he did not present a flight
risk.
In the appeal, prosecutors said Scoles
was mistaken in downplaying the risk of
Wasendorf not showing up for sentencing.
Wasendorf was arrested in July after at-
tempting to commit suicide outside the
Cedar Falls-based firm and leaving a note
detailing how he made false bank state-
ments for 20 years to prop up the company
and embezzle customer funds.

Today will be a
wash out. We
don't get but
just a handful of
them all year
and today prom-
ises to be a very
rainy day. Some
of the rain will
be heavy as
moisture-laden
air is transport-
ed northward by
a strong low
level jet stream
ahead of an
approaching
cold front.
Indeed, the
clouds will be
racing across the
sky today and
winds will gust
to between 20
and 35 mph. In
higher eleva-
tions, gusts
could approach
50 mph. Rainfall
totals will range
from 1"' to 1.8,"
enough to put a
dent in our rain-
fall decits. The
rain will end
tonight and the
wind will dimin-
ish overnight as
well. Keep dry
today...if you can.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms will accompany a potent storm
system tracking through the East today. Severe thunderstorms capable of producing destructive
winds and isolated tornadoes will be possible from New York south to Georgia. Lake effect rain will be
likely to the south and east of the Great Lakes, as well.

Here are some proven ways to
shed extra pounds adapted
from a recent article in Envi-
ronmental Nutrition newsletter:
Dont believe in magic. There is
no secret formula or food that
will make weight fall off your
body without effort. Be espe-
cially careful if a diet plan elim-
inates an entire food group.
Pay attention to calories. They
really do count. A proven strate-
gy for weight loss is to eat small
portions of low-calorie foods.
Spread calories over the day.
Studies show that people who
skip meals tend to eat more
calories and have trouble losing
weight. Goal is three small
meals a day.
Eat more high volume, low-calo-
rie foods. A plateful of food
does not have to be a plateful of
calories. Two cups of lettuce,
tomatoes, carrots and cucum-
ber, for example are full of
nutrients and fiber for a mere
50 calories.
Focus on nutrient-rich foods.
Several studies show that eating
foods high in nutrients and low
in calories is an effective strate-
gy for weight loss.
Move it, move it, move it! Re-
search continues to show that
exercise COMBINED with a good
diet plan can help us lose weight
without starving. The goal? At
least 30 minutes of activity
most days plus at least 2 days a
week of muscle strengthening
exercise.
Eat more fiber. It may be one of
the most important hunger-
controlling nutrients we know
of, say experts. Where is fiber?
Only in foods that begin life in
the ground: fruit, vegetables,
nuts, seeds, legumes and other
plant-based foods.
Eat fewer SoFAS. Thats nutrition-
eze for Solid Fats and Added
Sugars. Solid fats can be identi-
fied on food labels by checking
for saturated or trans fats.
Dont drink your calories. One
12-ounce soda adds 150 liquid
calories.
Learn portion control. Eating
half our usual intake is a proven
way to eat half our usual calo-
ries ... and lose weight.
Create a meal plan. A good place
to start is www.myplate.gov to
access SuperTracker. It will
show you a weight loss plan that
works for life.

Q: What is your opin-
ion of the pain reliever
DMSO? I knowits
used on horses to
relieve tendinitis and
arthritis. Ive heard
that it helps with
sprains and arthritis in
people, but Imnot sure howsafe that
practice is.
R.H., Roswell, Ga.
A: DMSOis a sulfur-based topical
ointment or gel suspension that has an
amazing ability to be absorbed through
the skin and quickly combine with wa-
ter-based tissues and provide rapid pain
relief. DMSOalso has the ability to draw
water out of inflamed tissues and quick-
ly reduce localized swelling. Its most
effective on soft tissue injuries like mus-
cle or tendon strain because theyre
plump with water.
Its been safely used for over 50 years
to provide pain relief to horses and other
animals. Other than causing garlic-like
taste and breath and a pungent garlic-
like body odor fromits sulfur base, its
time-tested safe pain relief for animals
and humans not allergic to sulfa or sul-
fur compounds. It doesnt have any
issues with liver toxicity, kidney toxicity
or gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds
unlike traditional anti-inflammatory
medications like aspirin, Advil and
Aleve.
DMSOis available in many health
food stores and veterinary supply stores
as an over-the-counter topical product,
but does not have an FDAapproval for
topical relief in humans.
The reason for that is unclear, though
it is not because of safety concerns. It is
FDA-approved for use as a pain reliever
instilled in the bladder of folks with
interstitial cystitis.
The most likely reason why its not
FDAapproved and promoted for hu-
mans is economics: theres little point in
a drug manufacturer spending millions
of dollars seeking approval for a drug
available without a prescription.
Q: My husband lost both of his legs
due to poor circulation. Since the double
amputation, hes suffered with phantom
leg pain. The pain pills dont help much.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
N.R., Eau Claire, Wis.
A: Treatment of phantomlimb pain is
not easy. Since abrasion or excess pres-
sure of the stump can trigger or aggra-
vate phantompain, a comfortable well-
padded covering is very important. Pain
medications, especially the codeine,
hydrocodone or oxycodone types, are
much more effective in treating nerve
pain than aspirin, Advil or Tylenol. An-
other method of treating nerve pain is
actually the use of anti-seizure medica-
tions like Tegretol or Neurontin
regardless of whether theres a seizure
disorder. Anti-depressants like Elavil,
Pamelor, Trazodone or Cymbalta can
also help.

LOS ANGELES - Nearly every
parent knows that gripping, aw-
ful feeling of a baby screeching
when put to bed and the ensu-
ing anxiety over whether to pick
up the baby or tough it out and
let the baby cry. New research
shows that a middle ground not
only brings peace to the house-
hold but also does no harm.
So-called behavioral sleep

INNEAPOLIS The raw bell
peppers crispness muffled the
noise coming from James Onwualus
mouth as he described the purpose of
the colorful snack. Red, yellow and
green peppers, mixed with broccoli and
spinach, are a vital part of living a puri-
fied life, the Cretin-Derham Hall High
School senior said. Its the nourishment
he sees as required to adequately pre-
pare for goals that reach far beyond be-
ing the best wide receiver in Minnesota.
Emphasis on nutrition,
carefully sculpted to match
growing teenage athletes with
their sports demands, are the
edge that Onwualu and other
talented individuals use to be-
come the best in their sport.
In a generation more accus-
tomed to going online to edu-
cate themselves, these ath-
letes form their detailed eat-
inghabits byheedingcoaches,
personal trainers and even
parents.
Its specific today with who
you are and to the athlete,
said Onwualu, a Notre Dame-
bound football standout. My
friends andschoolmates think
Im pretty crazy for it. They
thinkImalready where I want
to be. But in my mind Im not
where I want to be.
Across the metro, blue-chip
athletes are similarly disci-
plined and committed.

ing harm to the child or to the
relationship between the par-
ent and child, the study pub-
lished this week in the journal
Pediatrics shows.
Parents and health profes-
sional can confidently use
these techniques to reduce the
short- to medium-term burden
of infant sleep problems and
maternal depression, the
study authors wrote.
The study, by researchers at
several institutions in Australia
and Britain, of children at age 6
was a follow-up to one conduct-
ed of infants whose parents re-
ported sleep problems at age 7
months.
Nearly half of parents report
sleep problems in their babies
who are 6 months to a year old,
and techniques such as con-
trolled comforting and camp-
ing out have been shown to
help. Controlled comforting is
gradually increasing the time
taken to respond to the babys
cries. Camping out has the par-
ents sitting with the baby as he
or she settles to sleep and grad-
ually moving toward the door.
Such techniques also have
been shown to reduce maternal
depression.
And, the researchers say,
there could be other benefits:
Furthermore, teaching par-
ents to regulate their childrens
sleep behavior is a form of lim-
it-setting that, combined with
parental warmth, constitutes
the optimal authoritative par-
enting style for child out-
comes.
Crying it out was for a time
recommended, at least among
mothers desperate for sleep.
That is not usually recom-
mended nowadays because of
the distress it causes parents
and infants, the researchers
wrote.
The Kids Sleep Study return-
ed to the participants of the in-
fant study, and drew their con-
clusions in the follow-up based
on information from trained re-
searchers, who conducted the
Pediatric Quality of Life Inven-
tory and showed parents how
to collect salivary cortisol to
measure fatigue.

INTRODUCTIONTO LYMPHATIC ENHANCEMENT THERAPY
TM
PRESENTED BY: Desiree De Spong --
Thursday, September 27, 2012 @ 7:00pm
This is a FREE seminar explaining the benets and uses
of the LET and the importance of the Lymphatic System.
Desiree currently has a clinic in Tauranga, New Zealand and
with over 20 years experience working in complimentary
medicine and education, was recently awarded a Research
Fellowship at Flinders University in Australia.
Swenson says no to sweets. Way-
zata football player Mitch Under-
hill stopped drinking Gatorade.
Each of these sacrifices has
molded this group into the best
and, insome cases, convincedfel-
low teammates to simply pay
more attention to meals.
(Performance) depends on
what you eat. I dont eat candy. I
dont drink pop. I keep my mus-
cles hydrated and healthy, On-
wualu said. I feel my body is
more pure. Food has kind of be-
come not a pleasure. I dont love
different kinds of food, but there
are certain things I eat that are
good for you.
Hopkins volleyball coach Vicki
Seliger-Swenson empowers her
team by handing out articles on
nutrition. She said the awareness
has created an overall healthy en-
vironment regardless of the ath-
letes commitment level.
An average week for Onwualu
begins with a visit to the super-
market with a detailed grocery
list, edited by nutrition and train-
ing coach Ted Johnson. Onwualu
prepares his own meals. Along
with peppers, his recent lunch in-
cluded a couple of forms of fruit
and three sandwiches turkey,
chicken breast, ham.
This midday refuel is part of a
5,000-6,000-calorie diet engi-
neered for Onwualus needs not
only as a football player, but more
specifically a wide receiver.
Pretty sophisticated stuff is
howJohnsoncategorizedthe life-
style. Along withthe rigorous no-
supplement nutrition habits he
instills in clients, he also pushes
them beyond traditionally ac-
cepted workouts.
Underhill, training alongside
Johnson after missing all of last
season because of a knee injury,
gained 20 pounds while main-
taining 8 percent body fat. In-
depth analysis of the Wayzata
running backs body type and its
needs produced a diet of six to
seven meals a day. At each meal
he consumes a serving of vegeta-
bles and avoids sugars. The se-
niors attempts to gain weight al-
low for one sweet exception: His
final meal of the day is often ice
cream and waffles.
I pretty much just eat the
same thing. We dont have any-
thing else (at home), Underhill
said. Its more about perform-
ance and gaining weight. And
outlasting everyone.
Found among the Waconia vol-
leyball team rules is a section on
nutrition. Its important to coach
JimLee that his athletes are well-
fed.
If we eat healthy, we play
healthy, Pioske said. You can
tell if you eat a bunch of junk
food. You feel slower and dont
feel as energized. Youre more
awake and alert.
That means limits two cans
of soda per week, no coffee, no
candy or cookies Monday through
Friday to help Lees group pro-
duce a more balanced diet.
Rasa Troup, a sports nutrition
specialist and dietitian for Uni-
versity of Minnesota athletics,
believes such guidelines will help
create good eating habits. An ad-
vocate for healthy lifestyles and
nutrition-minded athletes, Troup
is concerned about misinforma-
tion leading to exaggerated eat-
ing that has adverse effects on
athletes. Her research has shown
that teenagers often use unqual-
ifiedsources, suchas the Internet
or teammates, as nutrition
guides, instead of a trained pro-
fessional.
From my experience is that
when I talk to high schoolers, on-
ly a few of them understand how
to fuel the body for physical per-
formance. Some dont fuel
enough and some are overfuel-
ing, said Troup, also a former
Olympian. If athletes get infor-
mation from correct places, they
can fuel the body for adequate
performance.
