WYOMING AREA TEACHERS STRIKE
Review: Vetsraises skew numbers

Experienced teachers would see their salaries rise significantly more than their newer colleagues
EXETER The two sides in the Wyoming Area School District teacher strike have said the differences at the negotiating table are small, yet critical questions of pay. A Times Leader review of the potential impact from the latest offers shows that, dollar-wise, the differences would be small for most teachers individually, but are much
greater when comparing veteran teachers to relative newcomers. Assuming that raises were spread equally among all teachers not a guarantee newcomers with a bachelors degree would see annual increases ranging from 0.48 percent to 2.77 percent over the six-year offer by the school board. By comparison, a teacher with eight years experience and a masters degree would see increases ranging from 3.86 percent to 8.64 percent. But that high rate rises from a deferral of any retroactive raise in 2011-12, substantially increasing Clark Van Orden | The Times Leader the raise teachers would get for 2012-13.

Senate panel backs strike against Syria

Measure heads to the full Senate as Obama hints he may retaliate even without congressional OK
DAVID ESPO and DONNA CASSATA U.S. combat operations on the ground. The measure is expected to reach the Senate oor next week, although the timing for a vote is uncertain. Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky conservative with strong tea party ties, has threatened a libuster. The House also is reviewing Obamas request, but its timetable is even less certain and the measure could face a rockier time there. The administration blames Assad for a chemical weapons attack that took place on Aug. 21 and says more than 1,400 civilians died, including at least 400 children. Other casualty estimates are lower, and the Syrian government denies responsibility, contending rebels ghting to topple the government were to blame. The Senate panels vote marked the rst formal response in Congress, four days after Obama unexpectedly put off an anticipated cruise missile strike against Syria last weekend and instead See SYRIA |12A

WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas request for speedy congressional backing of a military strike in Syria advanced Wednesday toward a showdown Senate vote, while the commander in chief left open Obama the possibility he would order retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack even if Congress withheld its approval. Legislation backing the use of force against President Bashar Assads government cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a 10-7 vote after it was stiffened at the last minute to include a pledge of support for decisive changes to the present military balance of power in Syrias civil war.

LEHMAN TWP. You couldnt have asked for a fairer day. The smell of funnel cake and simmering sausage drifted on a cool breeze through the vendor aisles as food sellers braced for the masses soon to break through the gates. Showing up early to the Luzerne County Fair has its perks. You might spot Jeremy Evans of Bloomsburg, a fth-
generation family business owner who has run his fair-food truck on the side for 10 years, spinning up a warm batch of cotton candy and setting out his hand-dipped candy apples in the quiet before the crowds start swelling.

PITTSTON Two men who Luzerne County prosecutors believe were involved in the shooting of two girls at the Sherman Hills apartment complex last month are jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on unreAlford lated charges. While prosecutors would not disclose the name of the suspected gunman, alleged accomplice Jamal Alford was in court Wednesday for
a preliminary hearing on charges that he attempted to prevent the capture of a fugitive in June. Alford, 24, of Pittston, is jailed for lack of $100,000 bail, which his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Joseph F. Saporito Jr., called outrageous after the hearing before District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston. A law enforcement source close to the investigation said Alford is Flea, a street name listed in search warrants led in last months shooting in Sherman Hills of 5-year-old Janiya McFarlane and 2-yearold Gabriella Morris.

Judge vows quick Pa.same-sex marriage case ruling

Montgomery County official has been issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples
eastern state that does not allow gay marriage or civil unions. A 1996 state law says a marriage must be between a man and a woman, and it says samesex marriages performed elsewhere cannot be recognized in Pennsylvania. D. Bruce Hanes, the elected register of wills in Montgomery County, deed the ban in late July by issuing licenses to samesex couples, as part of his duties as the orphans court clerk. His action followed the U.S. Supreme Courts decision to throw out part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and a statement by state Attorney General Kathleen Kane that the same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional. The state Health Department, which is seeking a court order to stop Hanes, said it must ensure that marriage registrations are uniformly and thoroughly enforced throughout the state. It said his actions have interfered with the proper performance of its powers, duties and responsibilities. He is issuing marriage licenses that the law clearly does not allow, said Greg Dunlap, representing the Health Department. The Department of Health has an interest in the integrity of the record keeping system. By the close of business Tuesday, Hanes had issued 164 licenses. Pellegrini said he was not weighing the constitutionality of the same-sex marriage ban. But questions about its constitutionality arose repeatedly, and Pellegrini said he was concerned about the potential effect of his ruling on various levels of government. The lawyers discussed how a sheriff might decide it was unconstitutional to deny gun permits to felons, or a zoning ofcer might think setback property line rules are an unconstitutional taking of private property. Theres a lot of constitutional ofcers in this commonwealth, Pellegrini said. The judge has to determine if the Health Department has legal standing to pursue whats known as a mandamus action to force a government ofcial to follow the law. He also has to decide if Hanes qualies as a judicial ofcer; if he does, the state Supreme Court may have exclusive jurisdiction. Pellegrini allowed a lawyer for some of the people who have received licenses to participate in the argument. Afterward, one couple said they were not sure what to make of the session. Kevin Taylor, of Havertown, who got a license from Hanes on the second day they were available, said seeking to intervene in the Department of Health case may be just the start of his legal efforts. Well probably continue to sign onto lawsuits until this is resolved, Taylor said.

Pa. congressman takes a ride in a computer-operated car
KEVIN BEGOS
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH A Pennsylvania congressman caught a cutting-edge ride to the airport on Wednesday. U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, a Republican from Altoona, made a 33-mile trip from Cranberry Township to Pittsburgh International Airport at about 11 a.m. in a computer-operated car. The so-called driverless Cadillac SRX was designed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers who have been working on the project since 2008. The car uses inputs from radars, laser rangenders, and infrared cameras to maneuver in trafc. Shuster is the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and he was accompanied by
Barry Schoch, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Shuster saw a Carnegie Mellon test vehicle about ve years ago, and he said it was crammed so full of equipment that there wasnt even room for a person inside. Now, the 2011 Cadillac is basically a standard model with all the sensors and electronics discreetly hidden. It didnt look out of place on the drive to the airport, which began in a suburban area with stop-and-go trafc and then reached speeds of about 65 mph on a major highway. A Carnegie Mellon engineer was in the drivers seat as a safety precaution. Shuster said he can now imagine a future where such vehicles enter the mainstream, potentially reducing accidents, fatalities and congestion on roads. But theres also a military angle.
Its going to be great for our military to able to send vehicles into combat without people in them, Shuster said. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency began holding competitions for driverless vehicles in 2004, and a Carnegie Mellon team won the 2007 race, along with a $2 million prize. Raj Rajkumar, the leader of the Carnegie Mellon project, said the biggest design challenge for driverless vehicles is managing unpredictable events. It takes a long time to be taught all the things we know about driving, Rajkumar said of the software. You can build a system that works correctly today how do you know its going to work well tomorrow? Because its a new set of conditions, and you are unable to test all possible conditions. Its an innite number. Rajkumar thinks some driverless cars may reach the marketplace by 2020, though some experts say it will take longer.

GM, Nissan and Google are all working on projects, as are other universities. For now, engineers are still gathering data and running tests. A camera on the car recorded Shusters trip and streaming video is available online. Carnegie Mellon also let local
law enforcement know about the road tests, and one ofcer imagined a possible future where DUIs no longer exist. Its very intriguing, Lt. Kevin Meyer of the Cranberry Township Police Department said as he waited for Shuster to depart.

Secretary of Public Welfare Beverly D. Mackereth says plan to increase access for state residents
to affordable, quality health care coverage, Mackereth said. To do this, meaningful modernization of the existing Medicaid program must be achieved if we are to create a sustainable option for Pennsylvania taxpayers, she said. Medicaid is an entitlement program, said Mackereth, jointly funded by the federal and state governments that provides health care coverage to low-income children and adults, the elderly and disabled. The Pennsylvania Medicaid Program is known as Medical Assistance because it includes both the federal Medicaid Program as well as state funded only programs. Pennsylvania Medical Assistance comprises 68.6 percent of the total DPW budget and more than 17.4 million claims are processed annually. One in six state residents, or 2.2 million people, are on Medicaid, representing nearly 30 percent of the states general fund budget, she said. Pennsylvanias Medicaid program is unsustainable without changes, Mackereth said. Some proposed reforms include: increasing options for long-term care, rolling out a work-search requirement and trimming the amount of benets offered. Pennsylvania remains one of the states yet to expand the Medicaid program as part of the federal Affordable Health Care Act. Mackereth said DPW is the largest human services state agency in the United States with a budget of $28 billion $10.9 billion in state funds, $14.5 billion in federal funding and $2.5 billion from other sources. The department employs nearly 17,000 people, she said. Mike Zimmerman, chief executive ofcer at Family Service Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania, based in Wilkes-Barre, said he was astonished to learn how big the DPW is and how much of the states budget it represents, especially in Medical Assistance. Zimmerman asked the secretary if more money would be available for his agencys Family Finding program and

HAZLETON
Curtis Turk Mattern a man who has ridden his motorized wheelchair decorated with mummer string band-style feathers in Hazletons Funfest parades for nearly a decade will lead this years parade Sunday as grand marshal. Mattern, of Fritzingertown Senior Living Community in Butler Township, has been a musician since grade school. He joined the Keystone Mummers String Band from Pottsville in 1987 and, in later years, when he needed a scooter to get around, band members outtted it with feathers, and he led the band in performances until it disbanded in 2002. His favorite event was always the Funfest Parade, he said. His obvious love of the event and his enthusiasm make him a crowd favorite, so the committee was unanimous in their vote to give him this honor, said Funfest public relations coordinator Julie Ferry. Instead of riding in a special vehicle, the World War II veteran will be in his scooter. Keeping with this years Funfest theme, A Totally 80s Weekend, he will be dressed as a senior rocker. Matterns daughter will drive a car behind him with signage identifying him as grand marshal. The parade is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. Sunday near Citizens Bank in West Hazleton and will move east along Route 93, ending at North Pine Street in Hazleton. Funfest runs 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

HAZLETON Pennsylvania is closer to nalizing a plan to reform its Medicaid program, the state secretary of public welfare said Wednesday during an area visit. Beverly D. Mackereth outlined the plan during a presentation to the Hazleton Rotary Club at Best Western Genettis Inn. Her ofce has been working with the federal government to draw up a plan that will be sustainable, Mackereth said Gov. (Tom) Corbett challenged us to come back to him with a plan to assure increased access for Pennsylvanians, she said, adding that a nal plan might not be ready until 2015. Corbetts goal is for all Pennsylvanians to have access

A reform plan for the states Medicaid program is in the pipeline, but perhaps wont be ready until 2015, Department of Public Welfare Secretary Beverly Mackereth told attendees at Wednesdays Hazleton Rotary Club luncheon.
her answer was no. The Family Finding program recognizes the role of families and their ability to care for members by using community support resources and service providers, Zimmerman said. The program offers families the opportunity to come together as the best possible people to make decisions on
keeping their children safe, he said. Our numbers have been growing, said Zimmerman. I was hoping to hear that more funding would be available. Family Finding utilizes kinship care instead of foster homes, and we nd that approach saves money because families get involved.

Alleged strip club robber testifies he was framed

Holiday crashes kill at least 11
HARRISBURG
Eleven people were killed and 262 others were injured in the 661 crashes investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police during the four-day Labor Day holiday weekend driving period of Friday through Monday. Those gures do not include crashes investigated by local police. During the holiday, troopers cited 819 individuals for not wearing seat belts, 111 for not securing children in safety seats and 9,149 for speeding. They arrested 351 operators on suspicion of driving under the inuence. Of the 661 crashes investigated, 77 of them, including two of the fatal crashes, were alcohol related.
WILKES-BARRE Two BB guns used in the robbery of a Plymouth Township strip club were his, William Gronosky testied Wednesday. Gloves used in the robbery also belonged to him, but Gronosky said he wasnt there. He told the court he was shopping at the Wyoming Valley Mall with a friend, identied only as L Money. Gronosky, 30, of Nanticoke, testied Wednesday at his jury trial on charges that he and another man robbed the owner of the Carousel Lounge along Route 11 at gunpoint on March 15, 2012 and got away with $3,500. Attorneys will present their closing arguments today. But, Gronosky said, the woman who claims she was driving the getaway car is wrong. Courtney Sadusky is a six-bag-a-day heroin user who, at one time, had a relationship with him, Gronosky said. That, he said, is why Sadusky, 24, fabricated the story of Gronosky and Kevin Williams robbing the club. Sadusky framed him, he said, and stole the BB guns and a pair of gloves
from his home to do so. I didnt do this, Gronosky said. He admitted he was at the Carousel Lounge the day of the robbery, but not until much later in the day Gronosky when he went there to purchase drugs. He said he visited the strip club three to four times a week and even played pool with owner Julius Greenberg. Thats how, Gronosky said, he knows Greenberg and how he is familiar with the club not because he was there to rob the club. Gronosky said its simply a coincidence that he was picked up by police near Berwick in a gas station bathroom after the robbery with Williams. They were running, Gronosky admitted, but only because they were scared not because they committed any crimes. Sadusky told a different story early Wednesday, saying she drove Gronosky and Williams to the Carousel Lounge around 9 a.m. on March 15, 2012. Gronosky and Williams had ski masks on, Sadusky testied, and she said they wore gloves and were armed with guns. About 15 minutes later, Gronosky
allegedly told Sadusky that they pushed the owner of the strip club to the oor and took about $3,500. Sadusky testied she then took the two men to her parents home in Bear Creek, where they counted the money. She said the two men then asked her to drive them to the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre Township, where she later picked them up with a number of shopping bags. Sadusky pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to a criminal conspiracy charge relating to the robbery before also testifying in an unrelated criminal conspiracy charge in a burglary at a Lain home she participated in with Gronosky. County Judge Michael Vough said Sadusky will be sentenced on Nov. 7. Carousel owner, Julius Greenberg, was the rst witness to testify Wednesday. The club owner said the door of his business was unlocked because he had been in and out to his car that morning, and that two men entered his ofce around 9 a.m., pushed him down and took money and items in Greenbergs pockets before eeing. Williams was convicted of related charges in May and sentenced in July to 10 to 20 years in prison.
HANOVER TWP. Wearing a T-shirt that read Got Blood, 57-year-old Wayne Harding was arraigned late Tuesday night on charges he threatened to kill Freeland police ofcers and ofcials and burn the borough to the ground. Hardings threat was taken seriously; borough ofcials postponed their monthly council meeting. Mayor Tami Martin and council President Robert Quinn did not return messages for comment Wednesday. Harding was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Halesey Harding in Hanover Township on a single count of terroristic threats. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 bail. Quinn contacted Freeland police at about noon Tuesday, alerting them to the alleged verbal threat by Harding. According to the criminal complaint: Quinn told police Harding approached a borough maintenance employee, who is not named, on Monday in the Freeland Park on Front Street. Harding allegedly told the employee, Im going to burn the town of Freeland to the ground, then Im going to kill the code ofcer and his family, and then Im going to kill the police. Harding told the employee the reason he was going to kill Code Enforcement Ofcer Brian Maso and police ofcers was because of his recent arrest for allegedly threatening Maso. Maso had cited Harding with a code violation in recent days. Court records show police charged Harding on Aug. 21 with terroristic threats and two counts of disorderly conduct. Those charges were withdrawn, permitting Harding to be released from the county prison, where he had been jailed for lack of $5,000 bail. Police then cited Harding with a summary charge of disorderly conduct for alleged threats toward Maso. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Sept. 11.

Shickshinny landlords required to keep records

Property owners to provide contact info to borough, maintain list of tenants
Times Leader Correspondent
TOM HUNTINGTON
SHICKSHINNY Borough council enacted Tuesday an ordinance establishing a landlord registration system that requires property owners to maintain a record of rentals and tenants occupying their properties. The ordinance stems from borough ofcials experiencing difculty in identifying landlords, some of whom fail to abide by
borough codes and, according to language authored by solicitor John Pike, promote the safety, welfare and health of borough residents. In addition, council at the recommendation of Mayor Beverly Moore adopted a new set of rules regarding the operation of the public playground at Oak and North Canal streets. Moore received approval for the park to be open only from dawn to dusk. Police will disperse people who violate the rules, she said.
The decision stems, council was told, from incidents of vandalism and ghts occurring at the park after dark. Under the landlord ordinance, property owners will be required to provide to the borough their name, address and telephone number, number of occupants and the names of current tenants. As a prerequisite to entering into a rental agreement, the ordinance stipulates that a license must be obtained for each rental unit at a cost of $25 per unit.
In addition, information must be updated and presented to the codes enforcement ofcer within 10 days of any change in residents or residency. Council also conducted an executive session at the conclusion of the regular meeting, during which time shouting could be heard behind closed doors. Council members, however, declined to discuss the nature of the non-public meeting. Soon after council went
back into public session, Councilman Micheal Steeber made a motion to accept a Municipal Drug Task Force agreement that had been submitted by state Attorney General Kathleen Kane. The agreement provides for the coordination of narcotics investigations, enforcement and prosecution of those people engaged in illegal drug activities as well as for reimbursement by the Attorney Generals Ofce for police activities approved in advance by state ofcials.
Other agenda items approved by council included: Acceptance of a donation from JHA Engineering of Tunkhannock for the purchase of a community bulletin board. The adoption of a brake retarder ordinance; warning signs will be posted at the east and west entrances into the community. The creation of a parking permit program for Bartoli Avenue, West Vine Street and North Susquehanna Avenue. The approval of Reilly
& Associates of WilkesBarre and Ashburn Advisors of Wilkes-Barre to provide engineering and administrative expertise for a proposed $1.7 million block grant program. The hiring of Jim Shepherd in the street department and Jane Wido as cleaning person for the borough building. The tabling of the payment of invoices for ammunition by the police department after Steeber asked for more information on the type and caliber of ammunition.
Judge rebuffs challenge to $1.2B PPL power line

ROGER DUPUIS
rdupuis@civitasmedia.com
Government agencies acted properly in approving a high-voltage power line through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a federal judge has found, rejecting a challenge by environmentalists opposed to the project. This ruling afrms the
position of the companies and the National Park Service that these permits were issued properly and after thorough study, said Stephanie Raymond, PPL vice president of transmission and substations. We will move forward with construction as planned. The $1.2 billion Susquehanna-Roseland line, a partnership between PPL and New Jersey-based PSE&G, is needed to cope with increasing demand on the regions electric grid, according to the utility companies, who jointly heralded Fridays decision by Judge Richard Roberts as the right decision for millions of people throughout the mid-Atlantic region who will have more reliable electric service because of this project. Roberts decision, led in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., rejected a lawsuit led by environmental advocacy groups seeking to overturn last years approval of the 500-kilovolt transmission line that will stretch 145 miles between PPLs Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Salem Township and the Roseland
substation near Newark, N.J. The National Parks Conservation Association, together with nine other organizations, led suit against then-Interior Secretary Kenneth Salzar in October, claiming ofcials did not perform an adequate review of potential environmental impacts, and that they broke other laws during the permitting process. The plaintiffs have not shown that NPS decision was arbitrary and capricious, the judge wrote, adding the decision was rationally based on the administrative record. The line already is under construction elsewhere in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A statement released by PSE&G earlier in August indicated that construction at the Water Gap was to begin Tuesday with access road construction. Construction in the four miles of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area will take about six months to complete, the utility said. The line is expected to be in service by June 2015.

HARRISBURG The Right-To-Know ofcer for the states Public Utility Commission has responded to a Times Leader request to make an anonymous letter at the heart of an investigation into PPL public. The response letter, signed by PUC Right To Know Ofcer Rosemary Chiavetta, said A legal review is necessary to determine whether the record is a record subject to access under this act. A response is expected to be provided to you on or before October 8, 2013. The Times Leader led a Right-To-Know request last week after a proposed settlement agreement between PPL Corp., an electric utility company based in Allentown that serves more than two dozen counties in eastern and central Pennsylvania, and the PUC was made public. The regions largest electric utility is accused of violating its internal guidelines and state law as part of its response to a late-October 2011 snowstorm that left 388,318 of PPLs 1.4 million customers, including many in Luzerne County, without power. PPL Corp. faces a $60,000 ne from the PUC, which has asked for public comment on the matter before approving the settlement, though all details of the matter are not being given to the public. According to a summary of the incident offered by the PUC: On April 26, 2012, after receiving an anonymous letter from a PPL employee, the PUCs independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement, or I&E, began an informal investigation into PPLs alleged improper transfer of a restoration crew in the wake of the Oct. 29, 2011, snowstorm. The allegation was that the restoration crew was transferred from a higher priority job in order to restore service to a lower priority job. The bureau alleged this was a violation of PUC regulations, the Public Utility Code and the companys restoration procedures. That anonymous letter was not included in the public le, which led to the Times Leader ling. Melissa Melewsky, a media law counsel with the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, said, The letter is presumptively public pursuant to the Right to Know Law, and it is the PUCs burden to show if the record is exempt from public access if they deny your request.

IN BRIEF
Ariel Castro, 53, pronounced dead at hospital

Womens captor hangs self

street from the former school bus driver. Were sad to hear that hes dead, but at the same time, were happy hes gone, and now we know he cant ask for an appeal or try for one if hes acting like hes crazy. Through a spokeswoman, his three victims declined to comment. Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. At his sentencing, he told the judge: Im not a monster. Im sick. A scornful Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said: This man couldnt take, for even a month, a small portion of what he had dished out for more than a decade. Castro had been in a cell by himself in protective custody because of his notoriety, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but was not on a suicide watch, which entails constant supervision, Smith said. She said Castro used a bedsheet. An autopsy showed the death was suicide by hanging, said Dr. Jan Gorniak, Franklin County coroner. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio asked the prison system to conduct a full investigation. Castros captives Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They were rescued from Castros run-down house in a tough Cleveland neighborhood

Here they are, back in Atlantic City Miss America contestants wait to be introduced after arriving in Atlantic City, N.J., on Tuesday. The Miss America pageant is back in the city where it began, six years after spurning the city for Las Vegas. The pageant held a welcoming ceremony Tuesday for the 53 contestants one from each state plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The competition will begin next week.
COLUMBUS, Ohio The Cleveland man serving a life sentence for holding three women captive in his home for a decade hanged himself in his prison cell with a bedsheet, ofcials said Wednesday in another shocking twist in the case that transxed and appalled the city. Ariel Castro, 53, was found hanging Tuesday night at the state prison in Orient, said JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for the corrections system. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He took the cowards way out, said Elsie Cintron, a neighbor who lived up the
Ariel Castro in the courtroom during the sentencing phase of his trial in Cleveland. Castro, who held three women captive for a decade, committed suicide Tuesday.
on May 6 when Berry broke out a screen door and yelled to neighbors. Elation over the womens rescue turned to shock as details emerged about their captivity. Castro fathered a child with Berry while she was being held. The girl was 6 when she was freed.
Investigators also disclosed that the women were bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities. Knight told authorities that Castro impregnated her repeatedly and made her miscarry by starving her and punching her in the belly. Berry was forced to give birth in a plastic kiddie pool. On Castros old street Wednesday, freshly planted landscaping was in bloom on the site where his house stood before it was demolished by the city a month ago. Satellite TV trucks returned to record the scene. Castros suicide does give a little bit of closure to the families and people that got affected by what he did, resident Jessica Burchett said, but at the same time he deserved to be in there for his life because of what he did to those girls.

Israel: Keep settlements intact

Proposal floated as part of peace talks, says official, but deemed unacceptable by Palestinians
The Associated Press
Police say theyre concerned there may be a bad batch of the drug known as Molly being sold in the Northeast after multiple overdoses in Massachusetts and New York and likely at least three deaths. Three people overdosed on Molly, a pure form of ecstasy, last week at the House of Blues club. One of them was a college student from New Hampshire who died. Over the weekend, there were two non-fatal Molly overdoses at a concert in Boston. And in New York City, two people died and four others were hospitalized during a dance music festival. New York ofcials said the deaths there appeared to be linked to Molly, also known as MDMA.

BOSTON
RAMALLAH, West Bank Israel has proposed leaving intact dozens of Jewish settlements and military bases in the West Bank as part of a package to establish a Palestinian state in provisional borders, a Palestinian ofcial told The Associated Press on Wednesday, in the rst detailed glimpse at recently relaunched peace talks. The ofcial said the proposal is unacceptable to the Palestinians, underscoring the tough road ahead as the sides try to reach an agreement ending decades of conict. The ofcial spoke on condition of anonymity because Israel and the Palestinians have pledged to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry not to discuss the content of their talks with the media a pledge that has largely held up until now.
For their future state, the Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed to a return to the pre-1967 lines, the idea of a Palestinian state in temporary borders has gained appeal with the Israelis. Such a deal could give the Palestinians independence, while leaving the thorniest issues, such as the fate of Jerusalem and the status of millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, to later negotiations. The Palestinians reject any notion of a provisional agreement, fearing that a temporary arrangement that falls short of their dreams will become permanent. Talks resumed in late July after a nearly ve-year break stemming largely from Israeli settlement construction. The Palestinians have objected to Israeli
construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians say these settlements, now home to more than 500,000 Israelis, make it increasingly difcult to partition the land between two people. After months of U.S. mediation, the Palestinians agreed to resume talks. Although Israel did not pledge to freeze settlement construction, U.S. ofcials have said they expect both sides to avoid provocative moves. Negotiators have been quietly meeting once or twice a week for the past month or so. The Palestinian ofcial said formal talks on borders have not yet started, and that negotiations have focused on security matters. He said the Israelis want to retain control of the West Banks border with Jordan, keep early-warning stations on hilltops and retain military bases near the Jordanian border.

WASHINGTON The No. 1 question about President Barack Obamas health care law is whether consumers will be able to afford the coverage. Now the answer is coming in. The biggest study yet of premiums posted by states nds that the sticker price for a 21-year-old buying a mid-range policy will average about $270 a month. Thats before government tax credits that act like a discount for most people, bringing down the cost based on their income. List-price premiums for a 40-year-old buying a midrange plan will average close to $330, the study by Avalere Health found. For a 60-yearold, they were nearly double
that at $615 a month. Starting Oct. 1, people who dont have health care coverage on their job can go to new online insurance markets in their states to shop for a private plan and nd out if they qualify for a tax credit. Come Jan. 1, virtually all Americans will be required to have coverage, or face nes. At the same time, insurance companies will no longer be able to turn away people in poor health. The study points to the emergence of a competitive market, said lead author Caroline Pearson, a vice president of the private data analysis rm. But its a market with big price differences among age groups, states and even within states. A copy was provided to The Associated Press. The bottom line is mixed: Many consumers will like

their new options, particularly if they qualify for a tax credit. But others might have to stretch to afford coverage. We are seeing competitive offerings in every market if you buy toward the low end of whats available, said
Pearson, a vice president of Avalere. However, for uninsured people who are paying nothing today this is still a big cost that theyre expected to t into their budgets, Pearson added.
PHILADELPHIA State ofcials can pursue their bid to steer Penn States $60 million ne over the Jerry Sandusky scandal to advocacy efforts in Pennsylvania, a state court has ruled in a setback for the NCAA. The NCAA calls the state effort a violation of the schools 2012 consent decree, and therefore a breach of federal contract law. However, the Commonwealth Court judges rejected the NCAAs motion to dismiss the case. The court ruled that a February state law known as the Endowment Act, which creates a state trust fund to hold the money, did not interfere with Penn States earlier settlement with the NCAA. The consent decree is silent as to who is to control or administer the endowment and is also silent on geographic limitations on the use of the funds, Judge Anne E. Covey wrote for the panel, which split 6-1 on the issue. The July 2012 settlement orders that the money be spent on child sexual-abuse programs, and the NCAA wants the money available for programs nationwide. State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Centre County, and Treasurer Rob McCord led suit to ensure the money is spent within the state. This decision brings us one major step closer to resolving the matter and having worthy child protection and sexual abuse advocacy programs in Pennsylvania begin receiving the funds, Corman said Wednesday in a statement. Donald Remy, the NCAAs chief legal ofcer, said the case presents important issues of state versus federal law. We are reviewing the courts opinion in detail and will decide next steps after we have had an opportunity to consider all of the options available, Remy said. Penn State agreed to the NCAA penalties a year ago, along with a temporary loss of football scholarships and a fouryear ban on post-season play. The rst of ve $12 million payments has been set aside but, amid the litigation, not paid out to anyone. Penn State has remained on the sidelines of the dispute and previously asked the two sides to try to negotiate a resolution. The dissenting judge Wednesday, President Judge Dan Pelligrini, agreed with the NCAA that the suit should not move forward unless the university signs on as a plaintiff.

WEST PITTSTON A contractor formerly from Plains Township was charged by WilkesBarre police detectives on Wednesday with failing to begin renovations to a house after he cashed a check from the homeowner. Detectives allege George Poplawski, 41, of Country Side Road, Honesdale, cashed a $900 check given to him by Patricia Koschack, of East Sidney Street, last Oct. 18 for renovations to her house. The $900 down payment was more than
half of the $1,600 home improvement contract, which called for renovations to sidewalks, drain tile and stone, the shoring up of oors and removal all garbage and debris, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint alleges Poplawski Has yet to do any work as he agreed to in the contract as of Tuesday. Poplawski was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston on a charge of receives advance payment for services and fails to perform. He was released without bail. Poplawski was in Carmodys courtroom on
Wednesday for a preliminary hearing on related charges. Exeter police allege Poplawski, formerly of West Carey Street, Plains, was hired by Matt Stuka to turn a single-family house into a rental unit with two apartments on Harland Street in February 2012. Poplawski began renovations but allegedly used below-grade materials, installed wrong-sized pipe ttings and electrical panel boxes and junction boxes, and failed to replace the front porch of Stukas property. Stuka previously said he learned he was billed by Poplawski for new materials when existing
and used windows, pipes and electrical wires from other jobs were used. Stuka, who paid Poplawski nearly $73,000, hired two other contractors to replace improperly installed drywall and the electrical system. Poplawski waived his right to a preliminary hearing sending charges of theft and deceptive business practices to Luzerne County Court. He remains free on $25,000 bail on the charges led by Exeter police. A preliminary hearing on the charges led by WilkesBarre police is scheduled on Sept. 11 before District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre.

WILKES-BARRE The case of a Hazleton man scheduled to stand trial this week on charges he pistolwhipped one man and held others against their will in 2012 has been continued to November. Reginald McCoy, 42, of Peace Street, is scheduled to stand trial on 10 related charges on Nov. 12, county Judge David Lupas said. McCoy is represented by attorney Charles Ross. Assistant District Attorney Molly Hanlon Mirabito is prosecuting the case. McCoy previously had been jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility but was released in May on $25,000 unsecured bail that carries a number of conditions, including a curfew. He also is required to undergo counseling and have no contact with victims involved in the case. According to the criminal complaint led by Hazleton police, they were called on Nov. 25 to Monges Street for the report of a man who was assaulting people with a gun. Police were told one man, Gary Stemko, had been pistol-whipped and that several other people were being held against their will in a nearby house. WILKES-BARRE An attorney for the city of Wilkes-Barre and Mayor Tom Leighton led court papers Wednesday seeking to have a developers $1.5 million lawsuit against them dismissed. Attorney John Dean led court papers Wednesday requesting that a lawsuit led in May by South Main Plaza, L.P., be tossed out and a judgment be made in favor of the city and the mayor. The suit seeks compensation for loss of income and other damages and alleges the developer has already spent $1.5 million in land purchase and other related costs. According to the suit, in July 2001, South Main Plaza and the city entered into an agreement of sale. The developer bought a parcel of land adjacent to the plaza for $150,000. The vacant parcel was to be used for construction of a multiunit shopping center, and the agreement called for the city to assist in obtaining permanent, irrevocable and exclusive access to and from South Pennsylvania Avenue to the vacant lot, according to the lawsuit. The city has repeatedly failed to make the best effort let alone its required best effort to acquire access to Pennsylvania Boulevard, the suit states. As the city is aware, the lack of this access, as well as the citys failure to fulll its other obligations under the (agreement) has prevented South Main Plaza from beginning construction on the project. In Deans ling, he says there was no breach of contract and that the city made every effort possible to help the developer. Dean led a counterclaim alleging, among other counts, breach of contract and fraud.

He married his dearly beloved wife and best friend, Lorraine L. Lavix, on Sept. 7, 1957, and would have celebrated 56 years of blissful married life together this Saturday. Pop, The Legend and The Professor had a lifelong love of reading and learning, and that he tried to instill in his students.

WASHINGTON A later start to the school day could help teenagers get the most from their classroom time and local districts should consider delaying the rst bell, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Wednesday. School districts would still be free to set their own start times, Duncan insisted in a broadcast interview, but he pointed to research that backs up his comments that rested students are ready students. Theres lots of research and common sense that lots of teens struggle to get up
to get on the bus, said Duncan, the former chief of Chicago Public Schools. The main reason? Teen brains have a different biology, said Kyla Wahlstrom, director at the University of Minnesotas Center for Applied Research and Education Improvement. Wahlstrom has studied teenagers sleep cycles, brains and learning. She has concluded that schools that want ready students must have students arrive rested. Absenteeism, tardiness, depression, obesity, dropout rates and suto accidents all decline when students head to school after a good night of sleep.

OUR OPINION: COUNTY FAIR
Dusk sets, lights brighten and a boy enjoys a super slide during the 2012 version of the Luzerne County Fair. The annual event is underway this week in Lehman Township.

Going to a fair? Try going local

TAKE A MOMENT to consider attending the regions other fair the one for the county in which this newspaper is based. It might seem a bit odd for the Luzerne County Fair to take a backseat among its own residents, but around here if you say fair, most minds bolt to the mammoth and popular Bloomsburg Fair. Considering the number of vendors, caliber of entertainment and volume of contests, that is frankly, fair (sorry). Only a fool would try to compare. The event in Columbia Countys most famous burg is more than three times the age of our own (158th for them, 51st for Luzerne County). But the Bloomsburg behemoth is still two weekends away. In the meantime, take note of our own more modest, yet still worth visiting, county fair. It opened yesterday and runs through Sunday. There are advantages to the smaller scale. While basic entry at Bloomsburg is still an affordable $7, that doesnt include parking, rides or entertainment. In contrast, $8 gives you parking, rides and entertainment at the county fair. Its also easier to navigate. This and the fairs of other nearby counties offer more intimate, more leisurely experiences than the Bloomsburg extravaganza, which bills itself as the largest Ag(ricultural) fair in Pa., one of the largest in the state. The Bloomsburg fair might be a tradition, but the Luzerne County Fair harkens back to a tradition worth keeping: The gathering of local residents to seek bragging rights in animal husbandry, horticulture and other old-school skills, and most of all to just enjoy yourself and re-establish a sense of community. So, sure, if you already bought your Bloomsburg ticket or planned your trip west, keep the date and enjoy. But why not spend some time at the fairgrounds in Lehman Township, off state Route 118 just off state Route 415 north of Dallas? Consider it a warm-up for the main event. Consider it a small-scale replacement if you just cant get to the Bloomsburg shindig, dont like the huge crowds, have kids too small for such a big deal, or prefer gentler entertainment that doesnt require miles of walking just to cover the basics. Or consider it a blast from the past, a bit of history tweaked to the present, and a chance to relax with neighbors. Its all good. Which when you think of it, could be any county fairs motto.
COMMENTARY: JASON BLOOM
A better way to close state prisons

When the state Department of Corrections moved to close state prisons in Greensburg and Cresson without any warning to its corrections ofcers, their families or those communities, it set a precedent that should concern communities that host state prisons across the state. To understand the concern requires context. On the evening of Jan. 8, state legislators were notied of a formal announcement of the closings to come the following day. Several media outlets reported the closings that night. How did many of the ofcers in those prisons learn of the closings? From inmates. Thats right: Corrections ofcers learned the news of the closings after being told by inmates at Greensburg and Cresson who saw the media reports on television. The news spread quickly as you could imagine. On Jan. 9, just one hour before the state made its ofcial announcement, the state nally saw t to notify the Pennsylvania State Corrections Ofcers Association, which represents 600 employees in both prisons. During testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Corrections ofcials acknowledged that the department started internal discussions on closing facilities as early as last June. Yet, they kept it to themselves until January. Had the department chosen to work with us, we could have helped to ease the impact on our members. Dont we owe the people who handle our states most violent criminals at least that much? Our members are in danger everyday. Some have been brutally beaten; others are forced to undergo constant testing for disease after inmates have gassed them. For those unaware, gassing is when an inmate throws a bag of urine or feces at an ofcer or is spat upon. Some inmates suffer from various diseases, including HIV. Ofcers will tell you theyd rather be beaten than gassed because physical injuries can heal. We realize that occasionally life blindsides us by unexpected events, but this did not need to be such a blindsided event. In fact, the department actually allowed one of our members to transfer into the Cresson facility in December and never said a word. As bad as the harm is to those in Greensburg and Cresson, there is an additional fear and concern by other ofcers and their families. They all want to know what facility is next because, under the current system, no one will know until its too late. The state is currently building a new prison in Graterford. The plan is to replace the facility that currently exists there, but will the department use this new jail as an opportunity to also close others without any warning? An excellent model for public inclusion in the closure process was readily available, which wouldve provided opportunities for all stakeholders to provide input. In 2005, the federal government implemented the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission to provide an open process to carefully and thoughtfully evaluate the closing of military bases. The commission recognized that while the military value of a base was of compelling importance, so too was the impact upon their host communities and personnel. The mission statement for the commission is as follows: While giving priority to the criteria of military value, the commission will also take into account the human impact of the base closures and will consider the possible economic, environmental, and other effects on the surrounding communities. The commission held community meetings in the various locations that had been identied for possible base closure. They solicited comments and suggestions from community leaders, area businesses and employees. When the base closures were announced, the communities and employees that were impacted at least had fair warning and were given an opportunity to present their case for keeping their base open. As important, community leaders were able to plan for the worst-case scenario. Was it too much to ask that our state government demonstrate the same compassion and concern for its employees and the impacted communities? Seldom is the best decision made in a vacuum.

OTHER OPINION: MANZIEL SUSPENSION
Wrist slap for star is NCAA hypocrisy

TEXAS A&M STAR quarterback Johnny Manziels suspension for the rst half of the Aggies opener Saturday against Rice was a sickening display of the contemptible hypocrisy of the NCAA and college footballs major powers. Technically, A&M declared Johnny Football ineligible and the NCAA reinstated him after the rst half, according to The Associated Press. Manziel, who last season became the rst freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, drew this wrist slap for an inadvertent violation of NCAA rules by signing autographs despite A&M and the NCAA saying there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange . That nding is contrary to ESPN reports that cited unidentied sources who claim Manziel was paid thousands of dollars to sign thousands of autographs for memorabilia brokers

Only a few days ago a 15-year-old girl was shot down in Chicago, the latest in a record of deaths from illegal gunre. I have read about these atrocities but nowhere in these reports have I read anything about the coalition to stop gun violence anywhere in these stories. It would seem to me they are being a bit lax in their duties. This ne organization is actually a rebirth of the old Brady gun grabbers. Their sole purpose seemingly is to propagate the idea that a proliferation of guns is evil and bad for your health. I would suggest this group begin to really stop gun violence and get moving to the areas where they can do the most good such as Chicago and their hometown of Washington, D.C. Ill be looking for them in the news. Unfortunately, I dont really expect these gun grabbers to be there.

in Texas, Florida and Connecticut the day before his team started preseason practice. But even if Manziel did sell thousands of his autographs for thousands of dollars, his suspension would be no less wrong. Running what amounts to a minorleague feeder system for the NFLs money machine, Texas A&M, its fellow collegiate gridiron powers and the NCAA make billions of dollars off their players. Yes, these players have scholarships. But they are denied not only a piece of college footballs nancial windfall, but also opportunities to capitalize on their own achievements for their own benet which they should have the right to do, like anyone else. If thats not contemptibly hypocritical, what is?
Pittsburgh Tribune Review
The Coalition To Stop Gun Violence is a ne-sounding name. We do need a stop to gun violence. Im all for that. Unfortunately this organization is looking in all the wrong places. The organization, based in Washington, D.C., has placed a billboard near Gilberton, asking the council there to re police chief Mark Kessler. They say he shouldnt have been seen on YouTube ring automatic weapons and using foul language. They say he was acting improperly. Wow, Im shaking in my boots at all this gun violence. He was acting as a private citizen not in any way pertaining to his capacity as a law ofcer. He wears no law ofcer clothing, nor does he speak of law enforcement. While they are busy criticizing a small-town police chief in our neck of the woods, Id like to know the latest critique they have written against

Teachers
From page 1A The union proposal has no deferral: A newcomer with a bachelors degree would see increases from 0.48 percent to 3.52 percent, while an eight-year masters degree teacher would see increases from 3.86 percent to 6.05 percent. The analysis suggests that under the boards proposal the masters degree teacher would see pay rise by a total of 30.7 percent over the six-year contract, compared to 9.7 percent for the bachelors degree. The changes would be 33.8 percent and 12.4 percent respectively under the union proposal. The analysis was done solely to give a relative idea of the impact of each offer on teachers with different education levels and experience. There are substantial caveats: The analysis did not consider any raises for increased education the expired contract being replaced provided raises for every six college credits. These are known as column raises. The analysis couldnt look at actual dollar gures in the proposals. Along with column raises, the expired contract provided annual raises for 15 years, known as step raises. The percentage of raises varies depending on education level, or column. When the two sides negotiate, they dont negotiate every step and column salary. They negotiate overall annual increases, leaving it up to the union to dispense the money in the step/column matrix, district lead negotiator attorney John Dean said. For simplicity, the analysis made an assumption that rarely holds true: A teacher would not earn any college credits for the duration of the contract. To maintain their state licenses, teachers particularly new ones must complete a minimum of continuing education credits within several years. Salary matrix All that said, The Times Leader used the step/column salary matrix from the last contract, which expired in August 2010, to calculate potential annual increases for hypothetical teachers at three different levels in the 2009-10 school year: A rstyear teacher with a bachelors degree, an eighth-year teacher with a masters degree, and a teacher who has reached the top of the pay scale, working at least 16 years and earning at least a masters degree plus 60 credits. Details of the two offers were provided by Dean. Based on the 2009-10 salary matrix from the old contract, the three teachers would have been paid $32,206, $43,370 and $79,792 that year. In the latest offers from both side, the salaries for 2010-11 should be the same because teacher received their step increases that year: $32,360, $45,044 and $80,042 though the increase for the top teacher was a $250 sum, not an actual step raise. That translates into raises of 0.48 percent, 3.86 percent and 0.31 percent. Pay for 2011-12 is where the debate begins. The board initially insisted on a true pay freeze, meaning teachers would get no step increase at all, and that step increases would resume the following year. But that proposal was dropped in the Aug. 26 negotiations and the board proposed a raise deferral, granting the step increase on paper but not actually increasing pay. Teachers would then see a bigger increase, for two steps, in 2012-13. Teachers at the top of the scale would get a $250 raise that year. Which means salaries would remain at for one year for the three hypothetical teachers, but would climb the following year to $33,072, $49,020 and $80,292, or 2.19 percent, 8.64 percent and 0.31 percent, making the difference for a masters degree teacher particularly pronounced. Latest proposal The unions latest proposal asked for the existing step increases in 2011-12 plus a $500 increase for top-of-scale teachers, and a step increase in 2012-13 plus an additional 0.25 percent. Rather than remaining at, 201112 salaries would rise to $32,638, $46,927 and $80,542. In 201213 they would climb again to $33,154, $49,135 and $80,743. So the 2012-13 increases would be lower than under the boards proposal 1.6 percent, 4.7 percent and 0.25 percent, but the teachers would have seen raises of 0.86 percent, 4.2 percent an 0.6 percent the prior year, rather than no raise. The plans diverge more sharply in the remaining three years. The board proposed existing step raises for 2013-14 and 2014-15, with teachers already at the top of the scale getting $250 raises each year. In the nal year of the contract, the board offered its rst and only increase beyond existing step payment, bumping salary an additional 0.25 percent for those still on the steps and for those at the top of the scale. The union sought step payments plus another 0.5 percent in 2013-14, and an additional 1 percent in each of the nal two years. Those at the top of the scale would see their pay increase by those percentages. Effect on salaries The upshot for the hypothetical teachers? Under the boards proposal, the bachelors degree newbie would have seen his or her salary rise from $32,360 in 200910 to $35,323 in 2015-16 for an increase of $3,117, while under the union proposal it would have hit $36,195 for a total increase of $3,989. The two contracts differ for this teacher by $872 over the six years. For the masters degree teacher with eight years at the start of the contract, salary would have risen from $43,370 to $56,688 under the board plan and to $58,047 under the union plan, giving total increases of $13,318 and $14,677 respectively, making a $1,360 difference between proposals. For the top-of-scale teacher, salary would have risen from $79,792 to $80,994 under the boards plan and to $82,778 under the union plan, for respective total increases of $1,202 and $2,986, making a six-year difference of $1,784 between the proposals. Union leaders contend the problem is that the boards offer just extends the old contract without any real raises. During Tuesdays opening picket march, Union President Melissa Dolman said a settlement is simple: The board has to offer percentage raises within the steps. Dean counters that the steps are, by denition, already raises, that the district has only enough money in reserve to pay what it has offered, and that any other increases would require cutbacks or a tax hikes. But the analysis suggests a third dynamic often acknowledged privately but rarely discussed publicly: Veteran teachers not only have higher salaries that could make it easier to weather an unpaid strike, they also may have more reason to hold out for the better deal.

A few stands down, youll nd Lake-Lehman High School Band girls itting around the booth they occupy every year, taking orders from their elders and heating the oil to fry potato pancakes. Diane Lockard, a member of the bands booster club, said they dont know how many single potato pancakes theyve served. Rather, they measure by how many 5-gallon buckets of potato pancake batter they go through. They have 125 gallons of the batter on hand to make the famous fair fare. Yeah, we go through a lot of them because we make the best, Lockard said. The county fair food stand funds the bands operations for most of the year, Lockard said. Other vendors selling multicolored candy corn, lemonade and pizza by the slice lined the the aisles on the way to the fair exhibits. The exhibits hold what the fairs founder, the Dallas Rotary Club, intended when it formalized the community event 51 years ago. They wanted a place for the Back Mountain to celebrate the harvest season. What started as a parade through town with Boy Scouts performing Native American dances and high school bands playing their tunes has turned into a robust yearly attraction. Its taken incredible life; its grown and prospered, said state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, as she spoke during the opening ceremony. In the cow barn, Tessa Zimmerman, 9, and Kaylie Skovira, 9, were tending to their calves, Daisy and Seven. Seven was named for the markings on her forehead, Zimmerman said. The two Lehman girls, members of the Yellow Rose 4-H Club, are to display their yearling heifers Friday afternoon. The cows will be judged for their obedience, physical qualities and cleanliness. The two girls seemed a little apprehensive about their debuts, but condent in their efforts so far. The hardest part was putting (Daisy) in the trailer to get here, Skovira said with a laugh. This is America at its best, said motivational speaker Bob Perks of Dallas. This is where love starts. This is where the harvest is. The forecast calls for sun and warm weather until Monday. If predictions hold out, this will be the rst fair to have all-sunny skies since 2000, said fair Chairwoman Brenda Pugh.
Syria
From page 1A asked lawmakers to unite rst behind such a plan. In Stockholm, Sweden, where Obama was traveling on Wednesday, the White House praised the vote, and said it would continue to seek support for a military response that is narrowly tailored to enforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons, and sufcient to protect the national security interests of the United States of America. Earlier, at a news conference Obama said, I always preserve the right and responsibility to act on behalf of Americas national security. In a challenge to lawmakers back home, he said Congress credibility was on the line, not his own, despite saying a year ago that the use of chemical weapons would cross a red line. Secretary of State John Kerry said he believes Obama will address the nation on Syria in the next few days. The president returns home from overseas Friday night.

Suspects
From page 1A and Morris suffered a gunshot wound to her face at Building 328 on Aug. 24. McFarlane was treated and released from Geisinger Medical Center, Danville. Morris remains hospitalized. Search warrant afdavits state McFarlanes father, William Cash, known as Junie, was upset that two men were in the apartment of his daughters mother, Diana Page. Cash entered the apartment through a rear door as a man walked out the front door. Cash asked Page what was going on. When she did not answer, Cash went out the rear door when gunre erupted, according to the afdavits. Cash told investigators he grabbed his younger daughter, a 2-year-old who was not injured, and tossed her to the back of the room. As he went to grab McFarlane, she was shot, the afdavit states. Morris mother, Kia, was visiting Page the day of the shooting. Investigators believe one of the suspects tried to leave town in a 1999 Dodge minivan with a tire on the roof. Investigators seized the vehicle in the area of 510 S. Empire St., where Taleek T. Sistrunk, 21, Jevaun Darryl Brown, 24, both of Wilkes-Barre, and Trevor Whittaker, 26, of Brooklyn, N.Y., were arrested after a ght. Preliminary hearings of Sistrunk, Brown and Whittaker are scheduled today before District Judge Martin Kane. Hindering allegation At Wednesdays preliminary hearing for Alford, Pittston police ofcer Samuel Desimone testied he assisted state police Trooper Robert Lombardo and U.S. marshals in searching a house on Church Street, Pittston, for Keon Tyler, 25, on June 4. Tyler was wanted by Plains Township police on charges he robbed another man in the parking lot of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino on Sept. 6, 2012. Lombardo went to the front door and talked to Alford as Tyler jumped 30 to 35 feet from a rear porch in an escape attempt, Desimone said. Tyler was captured after a foot chase that ended near the Susquehanna River, Desimone said. Lombardo and Desimone testied that Alford claimed he did not know Tyler. Pittston police charged Alford with two counts of hindering apprehension on Aug. 27, three days after the shooting at Sherman Hills. Barilla determined prosecutors established a case against Alford, sending the charges to county court. Court records say Tyler on Aug. 13 pleaded guilty to a robbery charge. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 17.

Goodell: Settlement is a significant amount of money

NeW YOrk NFL Commissioner roger goodell took issue with the notion that the leagues $765 million settlement with former players is a paltry sum compared to the sports revenues. This is a signicant amount of money, he said Wednesday. The plaintiffs also agreed it was an appropriate amount. The mediator felt it was an appropriate amount. goodell made his rst public comments since the settlement to the lawsuits was announced last week. More than 4,500 former players, some of them suffering from Alzheimers disease or depression, accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the eld.
We were able to nd common ground to be able to get relief to the players and their families now rather than spending years litigating, goodell said at an event in Manhattan to promote Februarys New York/ New Jersey Super Bowl. The settlement was announced last Thursday after two months of courtordered mediation and is subject to approval by a federal judge. It does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries. We think its the right thing to move forward and try to do what we can to help our players, goodell said. Some former players questioned the size of the settlement, considering it stretches over 20 years and will be divided among thousands of people and considering See gOODeLL | 3B

DeNVer John elway has been down this lonely road before, trudging through the tunnel in deafening silence after a stunning loss at home as the AFCs prohibitive Super Bowl favorite following a 13-3 regular season. It happened to elway the quarterback after the 1996 season when Denver lost to Jacksonville 30-27. It occurred again for elway the executive in January when the Broncos were beaten 38-35 by Baltimore in the divisional round. elway rebounded the rst
RAVENS AT BRONCOS
8:30 p.m., today TV: NBC time to win back-to-back Super Bowls. He said the pain of that pratfall against the Jaguars was the impetus to make them into champions. It was a great incentive for us to come back and have an even better year the following year, elway said. After engineering a $125 million offseason spending spree and acquiring wide receiver Wes
Welker and massive right guard Louis Vasquez to help new center Manny ramirez fend off the likes of ravens nose tackle Haloti Ngata elway is aiming for history to repeat itself after this latest heartbreak. Five things to watch for as the Broncos kick off the season Thursday night against the champion ravens: ROAD RAVENS: Joe Flacco looms larger than life in Denver, and not just because he engineered the stunning playoff upset with his 70-yard touchdown throw to Jacoby Jones that tied it at 35 with 31 seconds left in regulation. The NFLs marketing machine put up gigantic banners of Flacco alongside Peyton Manning on the Broncos stadium to pro-
mote the leagues rst game of the 2013 season. Fans are furious, Manning is miffed and Flacco is ummoxed. Still, Flacco reasoned, being hated is not a bad thing. This ag ap could have been avoided had baseballs Orioles moved their game Thursday night to accommodate the champs for a customary home kickoff. Im not too worried about it, Flacco said. Its not like theyre taking a home game away from us. Theyre just making us play on the road maybe earlier than we wanted to. ELVIS RETURNS: Doom & gloom is what elvis See reMATCH | 3B

NeW YOrk A year ago, Flavia Pennetta was hanging out at her parents home on Italys heel, recovering from right wrist surgery, watching the U.S. Open on TV and wondering how long it would take her to get back on the tennis tour. Look at her now. Pennetta is a grand Slam seminalist for the
rst time at age 31, and in her 41st major tournament. Unseeded, ranked only 83rd, Pennetta got to the nal four at Flushing Meadows with a 6-4, 6-1 victory Wednesday over another Italian, 10th-seeded roberta Vinci, who happens to be her long-time friend and former doubles partner. They know each others games, and each others personalities, perfectly. While Pennetta was laid up after her operation last

Clark honored bycaptaincy

WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH Ryan Clark spent all preseason talking about how rejuvenated Troy Polamalu looks in practice. Listen to Clark long enough, and the Pittsburgh Steelers safety throws around words like amazing and incredible when describing his future Hall of Fame teammate, who missed half of the 2012 season with a calf injury. Thing is, the 33-yearold Clark has a good 18 months on Polamalu. Oh, and he played 15 games last season, missing only the opener in Denver due to a blood condition that makes it dangerous for him to play
at altitude. Ask Clark why theres so much chatter about Polamalu instead of himself, and Clark just laughs. Im not as important, he said. Thats why nobody cares about that. Nobody, it seems, except the guys inside the Steelers locker room. More than a decade into a career thats seen him evolve from longshot undrafted rookie free agent to unltered for better or worse mouthpiece for the leagues top defense, Clark will serve as one of four Pittsburgh captains this fall. While calling the honor a blessing, its also a position he tried to avoid for years. When his LSU teammates chose to look elsewhere for
leadership during his time with the Tigers, Clark was relieved. (You) always ran out of the tunnel last, (you) have to hug like 18 people on the sideline before (you) can even play a game, Clark said. Coach (Mike) Tomlin even asked me last year against Washington, did I want to go out and be a captain and I was like, Im good coach, I want to stick to my routine. Maybe, but hell gladly walk to mideld for the coin toss on Sunday when the Steelers open the season against Tennessee and stand alongside Ben Roethlisberger, Brett Keisel and Maurkice Pouncey. Hell shake hands. Hell brohug. Hell play nice with the
referees. Yes, its mostly ceremonial. Its also symbolic of Clarks slow steady rise from afterthought to leader. Overlooked in the 2002 NFL Draft, Clark carries a chip on his shoulder thats never really gone away. Not even a Pro Bowl appearance in 2011 or his evolution into one of the more cerebral players in the pros has allowed Clark at least in his head to shed the stigma of that comes with being passed over 245 times by general managers who are supposed to know good football players from marginal talent. Kids, they come in now and theyre asking me what round I was taken in, Clark said. But you can believe
GMs, execs, (they) know I wasnt drafted and they always look at you like there was a reason teams took seven rounds and didnt pick you.

Old man Vick embraces his quarterback legacy

AP Pro Football Writer
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick throws a pass during practice Wednesday in Philadelphia.

ROB MAADDI
PHILADELPHIA Before RG3, Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, there was Michael Vick. The 33-year-old Vick may be the old man on the block now, but hes proud to have helped pave the way for multidimensional quarterbacks in the NFL. More teams are turning to QBs who can run and the read-option offense has become the latest trend. Vick gets his rst chance to play in Chip Kellys version of this up-tempo offense when the Philadelphia Eagles open the season against Robert Grifn III and the Washington Redskins on Monday night. While Grifn, Kaepernick and Wilson get most of the attention for their success last year, Vick isnt ready to pass the torch and drift off to retirement. I feel like I was kind of the ambassador of this offense in the NFL, like I was the originator, he said Wednesday. In 2006, I ran for 1,000 yards running the same type of read-option offense. Its in the record books and I couldnt have done it without running the read option. I dont think you can be a dropback passer and run for 1,000 yards in one season, so it was a big accomplishment for me. It was something that I was shooting for. I probably had some other goals set, but it was one of
them. Vick has evolved as a quarterback since his days with the Atlanta Falcons when he ran rst and passed when he had to. He proved he could thrive in the pocket in 2010 when he had his best all-around season, led the Eagles to an NFC East title and was a Pro Bowl starter. Vick replaced six-time Pro Bowl QB Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia. McNabb was another gifted runner who despised the label running quarterback. Vick embraces it, but also wants to be known for his passing ability. I think as kids when were in the backyard we idolize certain guys and we want to be like those guys who we look up to, he said. You dont want to just be viewed as a running quarterback, like all you can do is run or hes just athletic. We put a lot of hard work into our craft and what we do, to be able to go out and execute and run an NFL offense, which is hard, because if anybody could do it, we probably wouldnt be here. Sometimes you dont get credit for what you do, but I think at the end of the day, youve got to be the best football player that you can be. Vick is the oldest player on Philadelphias roster and hell be the oldest QB to start a season opener for the Eagles since 35-year-old Ron Jaworski in 1986. He knows theres a generation of players in the league now who grew up playing him on video games.
Some of those guys are defenders he still outruns despite a 10-year age difference and some are the quarterbacks stealing his spotlight. Vick appreciates the recognition they give him for being sort of a trailblazer. It means a lot, he said. It means the way Ive been able to play the game and others before me has trickled down to the younger generation. As for RG3, Vick said: Im a fan of his just like hes a fan of mine. Its great that you have guys that respect what you do. I like the way he plays the game, the desire he brings, his intensity, his heart, the way he carries himself with his teammates and you can tell everybody in the organization likes him and thats the type of character you have to have as a quarterback in this league. You want everybody to like you, and you want to be that franchise guy. Just dont ask if Vick if hes watched lm on Grifn to learn from him. I was running the read option before RG3 started running the read option so I know how to do it, he said. The thing I respect is the way they do it and the way he did it last year and putting his team in position to excel and be successful. Hes taken it to another level and I have a lot of respect for him. And theyll square off on Monday.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Once Bills quarterback EJ Manuel practiced Sunday for the rst time in two weeks, coach Doug Marrone had an inkling the rookie rst-round draft pick might be ready to open the season. On Wednesday, Marrone was convinced, announcing Manuel had fully recovered from a left knee injury and will start against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Hes 110 percent. He looks good out there, Marrone said following practice. And thats what were going to go with. Thats a relief for Marrone. He was expressing uncertainty about Manuels status since the quarterback was hurt scrambling during a 20-16 preseason win over Minnesota Aug. 16. Obviously, being a Catholic, there were a lot of prayers to that, Marrone said. I mean, honestly, you go home and say Gosh, I hope hes healthy, but you really dont know. Manuel was far more condent he would be ready, especially after taking part in individual drills on Sunday in his rst practice since having what the team called a minor procedure Aug. 18. I felt I would be good to go a few days ago as far as my knee, Manuel said. I

know mentally, if I had the chance to go out and play, Id be ready for it. Manuel showed little sign of a limp despite wearing a small brace during practice. I havent had any hesitation, Manuel said, noting he hasnt determined whether hell wear the brace on Sunday. It feels ne. It feels strong, so I can do all my normal movements. He opened practice as he had done in training camp. Taking the snap, Manuel dumped a short pass over the middle to C.J. Spiller, and then took off running without a sign of a hitch toward the end zone with the rest of the starting offense. Manuel also spent another half-hour throwing passes following practice.
His return is the rst bit of positive news for the retooled and rookie-laden Bills, who have been stung by a series of setbacks over the past week. Starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore will miss the rst month with a broken left wrist. Starting safety Jairus Byrds status is uncertain because of a foot injury and after he missed most of the offseason before signing his franchise tender two weeks ago. Kicker became an issue after rookie Dustin Hopkins hurt his right groin in practice Monday. Marrone called the injury minor, but ruled Hopkins out from playing Sunday. Dan Carpenter will ll in after the fth-year player signed Tuesday.
Goodell
From page 1B the NFL takes in more than $9 billion a year, a gure that will rise when new TV contracts start in 2014. Goodell noted that those billions are revenues, not prots. The settlement applies to all past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased a group that could total more than 20,000. It sets aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research. Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimers disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia. The NFLs litigation may still not be over. Four former players led a federal lawsuit in New Orleans on Sunday against the league and helmet maker Riddell, claiming they hid information about the dangers of brain injury. They want medical care for past, current and future NFL players.

As the league and retired players debate what happened in the past, the NFL has promoted its initiatives aimed at making the game safer. Goodell appeared on CBS This Morning earlier Wednesday to help announce a program with Under Armour and GE to donate money toward projects that prevent head injuries.
Rematch
From page 1B and Von Miller called themselves in Denver, where the Pro Bowl pass rushers combined for 29 of the Broncos league-leading 52 sacks in 2012. Dumervil signed with the Ravens in free agency after his infamous fax foul-up in Denver led to his release by the Broncos. He wont see Miller on Thursday night because Denvers All-Pro linebacker is serving a six-game drug suspension. Hes like a younger brother, Dumervil said. Weve spoken. We talk all the time. Hes dealing with tough times and hell ght through it. RAHIMS REDEMPION: Safety Rahim Moore is out to make amends for the most memorable mistake in Denvers playoff loss, when he mistimed his jump on Flaccos heave to Jones. I havent seen it from him one snap or one second where hes dwelled on that, Broncos secondary coach Cory Undlin said. If anything, hes used it as motivation. Veteran cornerback Champ Bailey appreciates Moores accountability but noted there were plenty of goats in that game. He wasnt the guy that put us in that situation, Bailey said. So, weve all got to own that one. RAVENS REBUILT: For the rst time in the Ravens 18-year existence, Ray Lewis isnt manning middle linebacker. Daryl Smith, who signed a free agent deal in June, is the veteran replacement. Hes a sure tackler entering his 10th season and could help provide some of the veteran presence the Ravens lost. Smith was part of a Ravens defensive revamp as they also said goodbye to starters Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard, Paul Kruger and Cary Williams, and hello to Dumervil, Chris Canty, Marcus Spears and Michael Huff. Flacco parlayed his fantastic playoff run into a six-year, $120.6 million contract, but also lost his two favorite targets as receiver Anquan Boldin was traded and tight end Dennis Pitta is sidelined with a fractured hip. RECORD RETURNER: As a former special teams coordinator, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he had reluctant admiration for Trindon Holliday, who piled up an NFLrecord 248 yards in returns against the Ravens in January. Denvers diminutive returner became the rst NFL player to take back both a punt and a kickoff for TDs in a playoff game. Those touchdowns were the longest punt (90 yards) and kickoff (104 yards) returns for scores ever in the postseason. Of course, Holliday was a footnote when Jones tying TD grab made him the star instead. Otherwise, it might have been Holliday and not Jones putting his ngerprints on the Lombardi Trophy, appearing on Jimmy Kimmels late show and then prancing across the oor with Karina Smirnoff on Dancing With The Stars.

One game shouldnt define a season

Tyler Burger RB Northwest The heat and humidity Saturday night at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium took its toll on players from Holy Redeemer and Northwest. Among them was Northwest starting running back Austin Mazonkey. Burger stepped in and filled the void, rushing 19 times for 136 yards and two touchdowns as the Rangers hung on for a 28-24 victory over Holy Redeemer. Burger didnt have his first carry until late in the first quarter. He had 12 rushes for 86 yards in the second half, with his 38-yard TD run giving Northwest a 10-point lead with 10:53 remaining. Given Consideration Mike Baur QB Wyo. Valley West C.J. Curry QB Berwick Isaac Foust RB Williamsport
Down by six, ball on its 6-yard line, 1:56 to play. Quarterback Josh Sayre gets Lake-Lehman out of the hole with a 34-yard strike down the left sideline to Joey Vigil. Then he connects for 21 yards on a slant to tight end Tyler Long. A pass interference penalty follows, putting the ball at the Old Forge 21 with 57 seconds left. Two plays later, it was over. Old Forge linebacker Shane Schuback, an all-state pick last year, makes a perfect break on a pass. Interception. Old Forge hangs on 13-7. It was a game that wouldve put us on the map, Lehman coach Jerry Gilsky said. Lehman has always been on the map as the football program next door to highly successful rival Dallas. And a victory at Class A power Old Forge would have brought some legitimacy to those preseason accolades heaped on the Black Knights, who are considered the Wyoming Valley Conferences best hope for a District 2 Class 2A title. But one loss shouldnt define a season. There are nine more games to go before the postseason begins. The Black Knights need to digest what Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said after Saturdays 35-7 loss to Scranton Prep. You look at last years team, we started 1-2, Spencer said. Wyoming Area, a preseason favorite for the D2-2A crown in 2012, rebounded to win the district title and make its first state appearance since 2003. History just might find a way of repeating itself. Time will tell.
SHELF LIFE
Holy Redeemer to pass block well. Quarterback Jimmy Strickland was sacked only twice against Northwest, one being the coverage variety. But for the most part, Redeemers line did a nice job against some big fellas from Northwest. Hanover Areas defense to shut down Mid Valley. The Hawkeyes allowed just 94 yards to the Spartans in their 12-7 victory. The only Mid Valley touchdown came via kick return. Thats a heck of an effort from a team that surrendered 346 yards and 34.4 points per game last year.

GREAT DAIN
the start of the list.

SAY MY NAME
The artificial turf at Scranton Memorial Stadium looks fine from a distance, but up close its just about had it. The hash marks and yard lines are worn out pretty badly. A Wyoming Area assistant said after Saturday afternoons game there were areas where you can lift up the turf and stick your hand under. He wasnt exaggerating. While I didnt inspect every inch, I found a spot around the 20-yard line on the scoreboard end of the field where I could stick my foot under the turf because a seam separated. The life of these fake grass fields is about 10 years, give or take. The turf at Scranton Memorial has been there since at least 2003 and gets heavy use. Three high school football teams plus the NEPA Miners use it. And thats just
Lake-Lehman sophomore wingback Joey Vigil better get used to his name being mispronounced. The stadium announcer at Old Forge was saying it like its spelled in the first half, but his last name is actually pronounced Vee-hill. Obviously, someone told the announcer because Vigils name was announced correctly in the second half. After last Fridays game, Vigil is on the way to making a name for himself. He rushed 13 times for 140 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 45 yards.
EXPECTED, UNEXPECTED
Three things that were expected and unexpected that happened in Week 1.
The Expected:
career highs for the senior who looks like he has spent plenty of time in the weight room. Hazleton Area being unable to stop Scranton running back Jake McCarthy, who rushed for 232 yards and three TDs in the 45-29 victory over the Cougars. McCarthy, a junior who has verbally committed to play baseball at Virginia, is the premier back in District 2. Dallas and Wyoming Area to struggle in their openers. Dallas lost 40-0 to Wyoming Valley West, and Wyoming Area fell hard to Scranton Prep 35-7. Both perennial playoff teams were gouge by graduation and could find it difficult to make the postseason.
The Unexpected:
Berwick receiver Andrew Force is glad to see Dain Kowalski, a transfer from Central Columbia, in the backfield. Kowalski starred at Central Columbia last year and fills the void left by the graduated Matt Cashman, who rushed for over 1,300 yards in 2012. Its awesome having Dain come over from Central Columbia. He can do so many things for you. Hes a dangerous runner who can go inside, break one outside, cutback, break tackles. He plays defensive back, covers well and is a good tackler. When you have someone like him join your team, you definitely are better than you were without him.

Smith to start at QB for Jets

AP Sports Writer
Hackenberg
From page 1B suspended top target Allen Robinson, OBriens opening drive script called for Hackenberg to run his no-huddle NASCAR package. OBrien knew even midway through training camp that he could trust Hackenberg to be able to switch paces on offense when called upon. He was adamant that it wouldnt be an issue. Absolutely no challenge with changing the tempo with a young quarterback, especially one thats smart, OBrien said. Made some mistakes, sure, but (hes) done a really nice job of operating the offense. Teammates, of course, knew all about Hackenbergs accolades in high school and how ESPN named him the countrys top pro-style quarterback recruit in this past signing class. It takes a lot more than that, however, to lead an offense. That started in June, when he arrived in Happy Valley. Once he got on campus and you had conversations with him, you nd out hes very poised and very condent, senior tackle Garry Gilliam said. Hes a pretty mature kid. He handled himself well on the road in an NFL stadium for his rst away game. Were looking forward to big things out of him. Hes a great guy. From there, the big hurdle was picking up OBriens complex playbook during preseason practices. Wide receiver Matt Zanellato said that after a few weeks, it became obvious that Hackenbergs condence was beginning to take off. Its a complete NFL offense, Zanellato said. Before we got into training camp, he had a sheet with him during (informal workouts) to call plays. Im sure well see real big strides in him as the season progresses. Matt McGloin was a fth-year senior last year and he got more and more condent as the season went on. Im sure well see that from Hackenberg as the season goes on. Hell get even more and more comfortable in the scheme. But nding that initial comfort level in the opener wasnt going to be easy. Especially with Robinson benched for the rst half. That handicap kept the Nittany Lions passing game looking short for much of the rst half. Hackenberg opened 11-for-15 in the opening 30 minutes but had just 69 yards passing. His deepest throw, intended for tight end Kyle Carter, was intercepted. Hackenberg settled down in the second half, going 11-for-16 for 209 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Certainly Robinsons return was a huge part of that, but so was just getting his rst game experience. As a freshman coming in, the rst snap is always going to be big (to get through), Hackenberg said. Once I got that out of the way and started getting a few completions under my belt, and the team started moving the ball, I denitely felt more comfortable. To further that, Hackenberg simply needs to be exposed to more and more situations. His second interception against the Orange came on a zone blitz where a defensive end dropped back into coverage as linebackers brought the pressure from the outside. Im not sure Christian has ever even seen that before in a live game, OBrien said with a bit of a laugh. It was a mistake, and a very costly one as the Orange scored on the next play to pull within six late in the fourth quarter. It was also a sign that OBrien isnt going to play it safe just because his quarterback is a few months removed from his prom. Hes got good poise, hes a smart guy, OBrien said. Like I said after the game, its one game and he needs to make improvement. We spent a lot of time in the lm room (Monday) showing these guys the tape and I personally spent a lot of time with Christian, showing him the mistakes that he made and where hes got to improve week to week. Hes got a great demeanor, great poise. Smart guy. Fun to coach. And hell improve.
DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Geno Smith is the new face of the franchise for the New York Jets. Well, at least for the opening game of the season. Beyond that, well see. The rookie quarterback will start for the Jets in the opener at home Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team nally conrmed Wednesday what had been expected since Mark Sanchez injured his right shoulder in a preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 24. Theyll try to rattle my cage, Smith said of the Buccaneers. I expect those guys to come out red up and they want to make a statement. Theyve got a rookie quarterback and theyll want to hit me and get me off my game, but I expect those things. And I look forward to it. But, will Greg Schianos defense be able to unnerve him? No, Smith said with a condent smile. Smith, who had an up-and-
down preseason, was the teams second-round draft pick out of West Virginia after he was projected by many to be selected early in the opening round. After Smith threw three interceptions and took a safety in three-plus quarters against the Giants, it was widely assumed Sanchez had won the job. But Rex Ryan chose to put Sanchez in the game in the fourth quarter and he suffered the injury that could sideline him several weeks. We realize that a rookie quarterback and all that, thats certainly a challenge, Ryan said. I think our guys are ready to rally behind Geno, and the big thing weve told Geno is, You just have to be part of the solution. Despite announcing Smith as the starter for this week, Ryan wouldnt commit to him as the long-term guy under center. It was an approach that was echoed by both owner Woody Johnson and general manager John Idzik. Well always put the best player we can on the eld on Sunday, and that will continue, Johnson said. The competitions ongoing.

With Smith stepping into the starters role, it makes Sanchezs status with the team unclear. Ryan has still never declared a winner to the competition and he might not ever do so. If Smith can be solid during Sanchezs absence, he could make it hard for Ryan to pull him. And, by never saying whether Smith or Sanchez had won the job, Ryan would never technically have benched the anointed starter. While many look at the move as the team moving forward with a new quarterback, Idzik was asked if, when healthy, Sanchez has a chance to be the Jets starter again. Yes, of course he does, Idzik said.

ELIGIBLE fOR HaLL Of faME

Fans can take part in selecting the inaugural class by visiting wbspenguins.com or the Official Facebook Page of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The following players are eligible: G Adam Berkhoel D Josef Melichar mined by combining fans votes along with input from local media members and Penguins front ofce representatives. The inaugural Penguins Hall of Fame class will F Dennis Bonvie F Eric Meloche F Jesse Boulerice D Alain Nasreddine D Brendan Buckley F Steve Parsons F Greg Crozier D Peter Ratchuk F Robert Dome D John Slaney F Shane Endicott be announced during the month of October 2013. Barrett hopes to have the players representing the rst Hall of Fame class come to a home game for a ceremony, but that will all F Michael Sivek F Jon Filewich F Martin Sonnenberg F Dave Gove G Robbie Tallas D Chris Kelleher D Mike Wilson F Jason MacDonald F Alexander Zevakhin F Alexander Mathieu depend on their schedules and availability, he said. As more former Penguins retire and reach the eligibility requirements, the list of potential Hall of Famers will expand, Barrett said.
It took 15 years for the Wilkes-Barre/S cranton Penguins to create their own Hall of Fame, but theres a good reason, according to team CEO Jeff Barrett. You have to have some history to create some history, he said. Now, as the Penguins enter their 15th season, the organization feels that
enough players have come through, and made an impact, that a Hall of Fame is warranted. So do the fans. According to Barrett, voting for the rst class opened Wednesday, and in less than a day, the Penguins received more than 300 emails with fans choices. In order to be considered for inclusion, players must meet the following requirements:
Must have spent parts of at least two seasons in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Been retired from professional hockey for at least two full seasons Made a significant contribution to the Penguins and community, either on the ice or off Its not just about their play on the ice, its about how they worked with the community, their teammates, the organization and the fans, Barrett said.
It encompasses everything. And its bound to spark some lively debate over who deserves a Hall of Fame nod and who doesnt. Barrett views that as a positive. I think the discussion will get emotional and its fun because people are excited to make their case for their favorite player, he said. Theyre actively involved. Selections will be deter-

Young Spieth picked for Presidents Cup

DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
Jordan Spieth started the season without status on any tour. He ends it by going to the Presidents Cup. Fred Couples used his captains picks Wednesday on the 20-year-old Spieth and Webb Simpson to ll out his 12-man team, making Spieth the youngest American to play in the Presidents Cup since it began in 1994. Im just super stoked, Spieth said. Nick Price used his picks on a pair of rookies Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe and Marc Leishman of Australia as the International team tries to win for only the second time. The matches are Oct. 3-6 at Muireld Village in Dublin, Ohio. Spieth was just starting his sophomore year at Texas a year ago when he decided to turn pro at the end of 2012, even though he failed to get out of the second stage of PGA Tour qualifying and was not a member of any tour. He played well enough to earn special temporary status on the PGA Tour, won the John Deere

Classic in July and lost in a playoff last month at the Wyndham Championship. He is assured of being the rst player since Tiger Woods in 1996 to start a season without status and reach the Tour Championship.
Couples left out young players his last two times as captain Dustin Johnson in 2009, Keegan Bradley in 2011, even though Bradley had won the PGA Championship for his second win as a rookie. The captain said he had help from his team and probably all of the United States in taking Spieth. Couples said not taking Bradley in 2011 wore on me a little bit, especially after watching Bradley play well at the Ryder Cup a year later. Im going with the young guy and our whole team is excited, Couples said. We have a great team, but to pick Jordan I think was the right move. By taking the rookie, Couples left Jim Furyk off an American team for the rst time since the 1997 Ryder Cup, ending a streak of 15 straight teams. Couples said it was such a tough decision that he did not call Furyk, and left him a text message late Tuesday night. Furyk didnt mind the delivery All youre looking for is contact, he said and while he was disappointed, he said Couples was in a tough spot. Everyone is going to argue what the name a few from the NFL, as well as Grant Hill, Scott Burrell and Monte Williams from the NBA. Conway has treated local residents and former pros Joe Amato and Andy Ashby, along with Raghib and Qadry Ismail. Sands history with Wyoming Valley goes deep, as Qadry Ismail was her brothers track coach. It was Ismail that was responsible for pointing her in the direction of Conway. Hes another mentor, a fellow athlete that has walked through the re and gone through a lot of different things, Sands said of Ismail. withdrawal put Pennetta in the eld. Taking full advantage, Pennetta has won ve consecutive matches in straight sets, eliminating four seeded players along the way: No. 4 Errani, No. 21 Simona Halep and No. 27 Svetlana Kuznetsova.
right call is, Furyk said. He had so many good players he wasnt going to make a bad choice. Couples also said he would consider Johnson, who hasnt won since the Tournament of Championship in January at Kapalua. Simpson was inside the top 10 who qualied for most of the two-year process until the nal hole, when Zach Johnson made a 25-foot birdie putt at the TPC Boston to move into the 10th spot by what amounted to $5,715 in PGA Tour earnings. Couples had said Monday night he was leaning toward Simpson. Furyk narrowly made the Presidents Cup last time and then went 5-0 at Royal Melbourne. He also is a past champion at the Memorial, played at Muireld Village. The whole thing was not fun, Couples said. I know all the stats. But at the same time, Jordan deserves to be on the team and Webb Simpson is a class act, great player. As Nick Price says, you get two picks and those are who we are going with. Price, on the other hand, leaned on
history at Muireld Village in guiding his picks. He said Tim Clark does not have a long history playing the Memorial, and that de Jonge and Leishman were better suited for Muireld Village. We can debate amongst the three guys from here until eternity as to what you think and who you feel would be best, Price said. But I had to make the decision yesterday, and I really think that out of the three guys, Brendon and Marc would probably end up playing Muireld better than Tim does. The picks meant that Price will have six rookies on his team, though its not like experience has helped the International side in the past. The Presidents Cup has become a lopsided event, with Americans holding a 7-1-1 advantage. They have won the last four times, and the last three matches have not been particularly close. Besides, the Americans had six rookies a year ago and won handily in Melbourne. Its going to be a tough job for us to win the cup, but I think we have got a really strong team right now, Price said.

From page 1B Clinic on Pierce Street, Kingston. Conway is a trained chiropractor, but over the many years of research, he has become a sports injury specialist. He also teaches athletes better ways of developing strength, explosion, speed and endurance without the risk of injury. Conway accomplishes this through an accelerated rapid relief treatment treating patients with all types of sports injuries,
including some of the top names in sport, like Sands. Even though Ive been formerly trained as a chiropractor, Ive always been interested in sports, Conway said. When I was treating people, I knew there was more, so I started my research. At Conway Clinic, an athlete is trained to properly absorb force effectively reducing injury. Once this is mastered, the athlete can then increase strength, speed, and endurance. The neurological system is the key to it, Conway said. We can test an athlete to see what muscles are turning on
and turning off. A muscle is designed to absorb force, if it cant absorb force, its going to translate into the joint and its going to cause inammation so thats where the pain cycle starts. If we can get to the neurological problem, thats where we found the key we can unravel everything. The Whos Who list of professional athletes Conway has treated includes more than three-dozen professional athletes, including Reggie White, Jerome Bettis, Cris Carter, Deion Sanders, Kordell Stewart, Shannon Sharpe, Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis and Elvis Grbac to tour from August 2012 until February 2013, and dropped down as far as 166th after her comeback began with a 3-7 record. Her ranking was still too low last month to get directly into the U.S. Opens main draw, but another players
I really respect him as a person and as an athlete. In addition to treating athletes from around the world, Conway is a bit of a matchmaker, although he would disagree. He actually was responsible for introducing us, Sands said, speaking of how she and her husband met. Justin Sands was being treated for injuries that occurred while playing football at the University of Albany. I think I was 19-years-old
and Bethanie was 17, Justin said. Hes our mentor, our second dad, our best friend, hes everything. Conway was on-hand for this years Open, leaving Kingston a few days before the event began in New York City. Mattek-Sands played Mathilde Johansson in the rst round, taking her out of the tournament 6-3, 6-1. Sands fell in the second round, losing to the No.24 seed, Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 6-4 last week.

It gives me a lot of energy, says Ken Murdock. A National Institute of Health funded Double Blind clinical study published on July 2, 2008, supports customer claims about energy. And that may translate to better sleep, moods, and overall balance. Studies have found that free radicals produce oxidation that disrupts insulin sensitivity.

David Payne, from Texas, echoes this. Since taking OPC Factor, its easier to support my blood sugar and my immune system and my circulaion is great.
I started taking OPC Factor and approximately a week after, I went back and had my blood checked. My blood sugar had dropped from about a 180 down to a 112. I had been having back problems and it seemed to resolve that. I like the taste. The taste is very pleasant. It has helped my overall health. The thing that Ive noticed the most is the lack of back pain. Ive just felt good this past year, rejoices Doyle Allen, ID.
After 2 weeks my blood sugar went from 180 to 112 and stayed there!

IN BRIEF
Frontier, unions agree to pacts

Frontier Communications Corp. has received two contract ratications with the Communications Workers of America locals representing about 200 Frontier employees in Pennsylvania, many in Dallas Township. Union-represented employees in Frontiers Pennsylvania operations ratied one agreement on Aug. 8 and another on Aug. 19. The company and union bargaining committees worked together to address issues that were priorities for both parties: the intense competition in the telecommunications business, the challenging economic times and the importance of hiring and retaining the best employees with competitive wages and benets, according to a Frontier corporate release. The ratied contracts expire in November 2016.
Motel 6 breaks ground in W-B Twp.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. Ground has been broken on a Motel 6 construction project along Schechter Drive, and the national chain says the motel is expected to open by May. Another Motel 6 is slated for Allentown and it, too, has a May opening date afxed to it. The projects are the rst new-construction Motel 6 locations in the northeastern United States set to feature the brands award-winning Phoenix design. The projects are both franchise developments. Our latest projects in Allentown and Wilkes-Barre represent the execution of our accelerated franchise growth strategy which includes expansion in the northeast, said Dean Savas, senior vice president of franchise for Motel 6. We are proud to work with our franchise partners to bring Motel 6s new design to Pennsylvania. The Wilkes-Barre project is owned by Bipin Patel of Hotel Squared LLC in Winchester, Va., and the lead contractor is A. Pickett Construction Inc. of Kingston. The new Motel 6 will include 78 guest rooms. Patel and Hotel Squared LLC operate seven existing Motel 6 properties located in West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. Efforts to reach Patel were unsuccessful. These will be the 16th and 17th Motel 6 locations in Pennsylvania. The ones nearest to Wilkes-Barre are in the Harrisburg area. The Luzerne County location is within one half-mile of two existing hotels: the Hampton Inn at 876 Schechter Drive and the Hilton Garden Inn at 242 Highland Park Blvd. And only a few miles away, along state Route 315 in Plains Township, two other hotels are under construction. A $50 million seven-story hotel and convention center at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township is less than two months from completion and a Microtel Inn & Suites is being built as well.
Dollar Menu due for price change
Auto sales rise by double digits

DEE-ANN DURBIN and TOM KRISHER
AP Auto Writers
McDonalds Corp. says a revamped version of its Dollar Menu that includes items priced at $5 could be launched nationally this year. The worlds biggest hamburger chain says it has been testing versions of its famous value menu thats called Dollar Menu & More in ve markets across the country. The company noted that no ofcial changes have yet been made to its current Dollar Menu, which was introduced more than a decade ago. The change would come after McDonalds unsuccessful attempt last year to get customers to switch from the Dollar Menu to a pricier Extra Value Menu, which features items costing closer to $2. If the new Dollar Menu & More is rolled out, the Extra Value Menu would be retired, said Neil Golden, chief marketing ofcer for McDonalds, which is based in Oak Brook, Ill.
Global summit starts, growth up
Something unfamiliar will be in the background as world leaders hold a summit in Russia starting today: economic growth throughout the developed world. And something will be missing: worry about a renewed nancial crisis. Leaders from 20 of the largest economies are more condent about their banking systems than at any other time since they began meeting ve years ago. Whats more, the economies of the United States, Europe and Japan are nally growing simultaneously. Yet fears are rising about emerging nations, which have helped drive the global economy for years: Growth is slowing, investor money is leaving and borrowing costs are rising, in part because of higher interest rates in the United States.
New name, location for Mexican restaurant

ANDREW M. SEDER
DETROIT Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Chrysler and General Motors all posted double-digit U.S. sales gains last month as people snapped up pickup trucks and small cars to lead the industry toward its best month in six years. Toyota posted the biggest gain, with sales up nearly 23 percent over August of last year. Nissan sales were up 22 percent, the best August in company history. At General Motors, sales were up almost 15 percent for the companys best month since September 2008. Chrysler and Ford each reported 12 percent gains. Auto stocks rose, with Ford and GM up more than 3 percent. U.S.-traded shares of the Japanese automakers all rose more than 1 percent. Chrysler and GM each forecast that total U.S.
sales in August ran at an annual rate above 16 million, a pace not seen since November 2007, a month before the start of the Great Recession. Mustafa Mohatarem, GMs chief economist, predicted that rate of sales is here to stay. History, he said, shows auto sales follow a trend, and that trend is now back above pre-recession levels. With the underlying economy fairly solid and with the still very high average age of the eet, I have full expectations that we will continue to see a fairly steady industry, Mohatarem said. The average age of a vehicle on U.S. roads today is a record 11.4 years, according to the Polk research rm. That means more people have to replace cars and trucks that they kept through the recession. While GM didnt ofcially raise its sales forecast for the year from 15.5 million, Mohatarem
Scott Garberding, senior vice president of manufacturing for Chrysler Group LLC, marks a milestone earlier this summer in sales of the automakers Grand Cherokee SUV; the company reported its sales of the vehicle last month were up 40 percent.

said he expects the year to end with sales closer to 15.8 million vehicles. Also, the industry is on better footing than it was in 2007. Prices are high and automakers arent resort-
ing to huge discounts to pull customers into showrooms, Mohatarem said. Consumers are spending at record levels to buy loaded-up vehicles, according to the TrueCar.
com auto pricing web site. The average U.S. vehicle sold for an estimated $31,252 last month, up almost $1,000 over August of last year and $24 higher than the previ-
ous record in December of 2012. Five automakers, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Nissan and Volkswagen, all had record-high selling prices last month, according to TrueCar.

WILKES-BARRE A downtown Wilkes-Barre Mexican restaurant has closed its doors and posted a sign informing customers it will soon reopen at another location. Paola Mendez and her husband, Jerry Ruiz, opened their eatery in September 2011 at North Main and Union streets. Dubbed El Rincon Latino, the name translates to The Latin Corner. But the restaurants signs were removed recently

and a note on the door informs customers it will reopen in two to three weeks at 21 Public Square. That spot formerly was occupied by European Bistro, which itself closed earlier this year. The restaurant will also get a new name, since its not on a corner any longer. The new restaurant will be called El Zocalo Mexican Restaurant. Translated, that means The Meeting Place. Mendez had restaurant experience before opening El Rincon. She worked at La Tolteca in

Wilkes-Barre. Thats where she met Ruiz, who was one of the restaurants managers. Mendez left the restaurant business to raise their son, Sebastian, but eventually the restaurant bug bit her once more. Since El Rincon opened Mendez has had a second child. The building at 21 Public Square is 1,700 square feet, according to Rob Finlay, who manages Humford Equities, the buildings owner. He said he is excited to see another ethnic restaurant coming to one of his buildings in downtown

Wilkes-Barre. Humford already owns the buildings occupied by Katana, Thai Thai and Cafe Toscana. Other restaurants also opened in downtown in recent years including Letts Eat, which serves Indian cuisine, and King of King Gyros, which serves Greek and Mediterranean fare. Finlay said a ve-year lease was signed with Mendez and Ruiz and the owners have been paying rent since June, even though they havent opened yet. He said a lot of interior work was needed, including a special-
ly fabricated metal hood to help with cooking exhaust. He said that while he cant guarantee the two-to-three-week opening promise will be kept, he believes its possible. If anyone can do it, they can, Finlay said. The building that had operated as El Rincon is owned by Thom Greco. There was no word on whether Greco has another tenant lined up for that location, which has seen quite a few restaurants open and close over the past several years.

Tread lightly, lovingly when a loved ones pet dies

Three little letters can mean a lot in college life. But the choice to join a fraternity or sorority is still fraught.
Going Greek?
Students consider the pros and cons of sorority, fraternity life
When Brandon Locke began his college career at Robert Morris University, he quickly found a campus family: Alpha Chi Rho fraternity, one of five mens frats at the Moon campus. Being in a fraternity is just like having a home away from home, and always having people there you can count on, says Locke, 21. He is the vice president of Robert Morris Interfraternity Council. KELLIE B. GORMLY Its much more than letters. Its a brotherhood, is how I see it. One of the things that Locke, whose hometown is North Huntingdon, and his brothers explain to incoming freshmen is that todays Greeks, unlike the Animal House image, is not what you see and know of stereotypical Greek life back in the day. With the start of a new school year, many young men and women entering college are considering rushing to join a sorority or fraternity. Joining a Greek organization is a big decision, though, and the Greek life, while offering many benefits, isnt for everyone, experts and members say. When looking at Greek life, there are pros and cons, says college admissions expert Katherine Cohen, chief executive officer and founder of IvyWise, a New York City-based educational consulting company. When were counseling students, we advise them to look at everything before going down that road. Membership in a sorority or fraternity offers many benefits, Cohen says. Students can form deep connections that last beyond college and join alumni networks that can be beneficial when looking for a job. Greek organizations provide many volunteer opportunities through each chapters philanthropy charity work. The clubs offer leadership opportunities that seem to have paid off for many: 85 percent of key executives at Fortune 500 companies are fraternity and sorority members. There is something to be said for that, Cohen says. favor of less conventional honeymoon options. There are a lot of people taking road trips, or taking the train, or doing a staycation, or doing a more scaled-down version, says Meg Keene, publisher and executive editor of A Practical Wedding website, apracticalwedding.com, and author of a guidebook of the same name. Theres even a word for the smaller, simpler options: minimoons. Part of the story is the economy, Keene says. Newlyweds in their early and mid-20s have been hit hard by unemployment and underemployment, and big-ticket items like international airfare and luxury hotels may not t their budgets. But fans of the alternative honeymoon see other advantages as well: the chance to connect with your new spouse without major distractions (the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame),
You can always find something to do and someone to do it with. Youre likely to find some lifelong friends. Greek groups make the campus a little bit smaller so its not so overwhelming. Its a way to feel like you have a home and an anchor.

Grief is keen mental suffering or distress over afiction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret, according to dictionary.com. In my circle of friends, there is almost always someone who is grieving over the death of a well-loved pet. Indeed, most of us have lost at least one dog, cat, hamster or guinea pig that we have been inordinately attached to. Just this year, as many as ve of my friends have had a cat or dog pass over the Rainbow Bridge. And each one asks: How do I cope with losing my best friend, one that has been with me through thick and thin? One who loves me even when I cant stand myself? Remember that someone who has never had a animal/human relationship wont understand your pain. Dont allow them to diminish your grief. Statements such as Its only a cat or You can get another one only make you feel more lonely. Mental health experts understand that your grief is your own and no one else can tell you how to feel. The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine advises that when a person has little or no support to deal with the loss of a pet, the grief and mourning can feel overwhelming and isolating. The human-animal bond represents the types of relationships we have with our companion animals. We form these relationships for many reasons: physical, social, emotional and psychological, according to a report from the schools Specialty Care Services titled Pet Loss and Bereavement Information for Pet Owners. One of my friends recently lost her companion of 10 years. She wrote about Jakes death on a blog, giving all her friends and associates in animal rescue the opportunity to express their sorrow for her loss. Another friend told me she received more sympathy cards after her beloved Labrador retriever, Caleb, died than she did after her mothers death. Perhaps as a group we are more fortunate than most to have the support of friends who share an understanding of the depth of feeling we have for our pets when that bond is broken. So what does the average person do? Authors Lawrence Robinson, Jeanne Segal, Ph.D., and See PET | 2C
However, Greek membership isnt the only way to make friends and build a network: You can do that elsewhere in the college community and beyond, says Cohen, who did not join a sorority during her years at Brown University. She was involved with See GREEK | 2C

Honeymoons turning into more modern minimoons

After months of wedding preparation, the last thing Beth and Rob Puno wanted to do was to plan an elaborate overseas honeymoon. So they didnt. My husband and I threw our bikes onto the bike rack on the car and drove up the California coast from the Bay Area to Mendocino, says Beth Puno, 30, of Berkeley. They stayed at a bed and breakfast, packed their lunches and explored by bike for ve or six hours a day. It was perfect, Puno says. We just got to exalt in that feeling of love, and we got to relax, and we got to explore some really beautiful redwood forests, just the two of us. It was so quiet and peaceful, I couldnt believe it. The Punos arent the only ones rejecting tropical getaways and European tours in
Just because when someone says honeymoon most people think of their toes in the sand and a drink in their hand, doesnt mean you have to book a tropical vacation.
Megan Finley, Offbeat Empire associate publisher book a tropical vacation. Unless you and your partner love the ocean, surng, snorkeling and sunbathing! Then the tropics are the way to go, Finley said in an email interview. But never because thats just how its done. Among the real-life alternative honeymoons that Finley cites is one inspired by the New Orleans episode of Man v. Food. A foodie couple honeymooned in New Orleans, where they sampled the citys storied restaurants. Finley also points to a pair of history buffs who delayed their honeymoon so it overlapped
the lack of stress and planning at a time when youve probably had your ll of both, and the opportunity to carve out a unique adventure that truly reects your tastes and interests as a couple. At the website Offbeat Bride ( offbeatbride. com), Offbeat Empire associate publisher Megan Finley sees the alternative honeymoon as a reection of a larger willingness to question wedding conventions. Just because when someone says honeymoon most people think of their toes in the sand and a drink in their hand, doesnt mean you have to
with the anniversary of D-Day, and then took a self-guided tour of France, and a Texas-based couple who went to Reykjavik, Iceland, for their honeymoon because they wanted to go somewhere they had never been before. Enticed by cheap winter airfares, they decided to experience what a real winter feels like. There was also a philanthropic couple who bought a week at a safari lodge in South Africa from a nonprot auction, and a couple who rented a camper and spent three weeks visiting as many state parks as possible. Keene says she wishes more people would take alternative honeymoons. But she does have one caution: When it comes to honeymoons, timing counts. I always advise people, it doesnt matter where you go, just go somewhere for a couple of days (immediately after the wedding) or stay at home and unplug the phone, because
whats important about the honeymoon is the time period when it takes place, she says. Have a little bit of time to absorb what happened and emotionally process what happened. Keene, who dated her husband for ve years, says she was surprised at how much she treasured time alone with him during their honeymoon in Britain. Even an evening with a British relative, while wonderful, seemed like more of an interruption than she would have expected. Punos honeymoon was similarly emotionally intense. I was in a daze after the wedding, and it took those ve days to just kind of calm down, let everything sink in, to understand what really happened, she says. Im going to remember (my honeymoon) forever, even though it was a really humble, simple experience.

Greek
From page 1C dancing, theater and teaching yoga and wouldnt have had time to join. Although many people think Greeks have the best or the only good social life among a student population, Cohen says she didnt feel second-rate because she was not in a sorority. There are so many alternatives to Greek life where you can nd smaller communities within a community, she says. And if you cant nd a club you like, you can found one, Cohen says. Greek life does have its downside. Membership in a fraternity or sorority takes a big commitment of both time and money. Its not just membership dues; there are other costs, such as money for functions, formals, possible residency in a house, and the like. And with constant social events, some people may have a difcult time keeping up with their college workload. Alexandra Robbins author of the best-seller Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities agrees. She spent a year undercover at a university following some sorority members and observed and heard about many positives, but also unhealthy things such as excessive binge drinking, hazing and intense pressure to conform and t the groups mold. The good thing sororities offer, Robbins says, is a ready-made social calendar. You can always nd something to do and someone to do it with, she says. Youre likely to nd some lifelong friends. Greek groups make the campus a little bit smaller so its not so overwhelming. Its a way to feel like you have a home and an anchor. Still, prospective recruits for Greek life should do their research and look at the big picture, Robbins says. Membership in some organizations can be allconsuming and leave little time and money for anything else. Members in some groups must follow rules, such as dress codes. A lot of people go into these groups thinking theyre just social groups, she says. They dont realize until its too late that sororities and fraternities often try to control your life and identity much more than just your social calendar. Scott Irlbacher, Robert Morris director of special programs and student community standards, has observed many benets of sorority and fraternity membership at the school. Greek students are less likely to go home on weekends, and they have higher GPAs and graduation rates 21 percentage points higher than the general population at Robert Morris, where about 9 percent of students are Greek. Though Greek life may not be for everyone, Irlbacher says, any students with an interest should check it out, even though they risk rejection. They may nd their home away from home. Every group has its own personality, Irlbacher says. Its a matter of nding that t.
Pet
From page 1C Robert Segal writing for Helpguide.org, a nonprot resource for supporting better mental health, offer this advice: Dont let anyone tell you how to feel and dont tell yourself how you should feel. Reach out to others who have lost pets. Check online message boards, pet loss hotlines and pet loss support groups. Rituals can help healing. A funeral can help you and your family members openly express feelings. Look after yourself. The stress of losing a pet can quickly deplete your energy and emotional reserves. Eat healthy foods, get lots of sleep and exercise to release endorphins to lift your mood. The loss of a companion animal may be doubly debilitating for seniors. If you are or know someone mourning the death of a pet he or she could try these methods for getting past the grief: Try to nd new meaning and joy in life. Fill the time you would normally give your pet with volunteering, picking up a long-neglected hobby, taking a class or helping friends care for their pets. Stay connected with friends. Pets often help seniors meet new people and regularly connect with friends and neighbors on walks. Try to spend time with at least one person every day to help ward off depression. Boost vitality with exercise. Staying active can help boost the immune system and increase energy. Finally, is it always a good idea to immediately go out and get a new pet after the loss of a well-loved one? Well, as much as I love saying Puppies heal the heart, the answer is a personal one that only you can make for yourself. In most cases, its best to mourn the old pet rst, and wait until youre emotionally ready to open your heart to a new animal.

Lopez,Connick,Urban latestAmerican Idoljudges

AP Television Writer
LYNN ELBER
LOS ANGELES American Idol is betting that a judges remix with Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will fare better with viewers than bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj did last season. On Tuesday, Fox announced the rumored addition of Lopez and Connick as judges for season 13. Theyll join Urban to make up the talent shows rst panel consisting solely of singers a la NBCs successful 2011 upstart The Voice. Pop star and actress Lopez will be back on American Idol after a
two-season run as judge in 2011 and 2012 that was a boon for the show and her c a re e r. Connick, a respected jazz singer and musician, proved adept as a mentor Jennifer Lopez in several Idol appearances. Urbans return to the contest was announced last month by Fox Chairman Kevin Reilly, who said the singer didnt get a chance to show his personality in his rst turn as a judge. Urban appeared overwhelmed last season by the Carey-Minaj crossre that drew complaints from
some viewers. I think this season of Idol is gonna be a blast, Urba n said in a statement Tuesday. N e w t e a m , new energy and a whole Harry Connick Jr. new eld of artists to be discovered and given a chance! Fox also announced that original judge Randy Jackson, who exited along with Carey and Minaj at the end of last season, will be back in a new role as inhouse mentor to the contestants. Ryan Seacrest, also part of Idol from the start, will again host.
Sur-prise, surprise! I am so happy to be back as part of this amazing show that started it all, Jackson s a i d . T h e original talent show is back with Keith Urban a vengeance and ready to discover the best talent in America. Record executive Jimmy Iovine had served as mentor in recent seasons. Fox said that Universal Music Groups Interscope Records, under Iovines direction as chairman, will continue to release Idol winner and contestant music.
Although judges have been a part of the shows entertainment formula since the early antics of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, Idol also won viewers by discovering future stars including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson. But recent winners havent caught similar re as recording artists. Seacrest, also set to host NBCs new The Million Second Quiz, said that early Idol auditions have cemented his belief that a new superstar is within our sights. Tryouts are ahead in Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Detroit; Omaha, Neb.; Salt Lake City and San Francisco. American Idol returns in January.

New PBS team low key about milestone

NEW YORK (AP) Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff didn't think much about the milestone upon being appointed the first women to co-anchor a national daily news program on television until flowers began filling their offices and strangers offered congratulations. The veteran journalists are the regular co-hosts of PBS' "NewsHour," effective Monday. They will be the faces for a newscast known for many years as the home of founders Jim Lehrer and Robert MacNeil. Two days earlier, PBS will premiere a new weekend edition of "NewsHour," based in New York instead of Washington. Hari Sreenivasan will be the host. In 2006, Katie Couric at the "CBS Evening News" became the first woman to solely anchor a national newscast. Ifill said she was surprised by how many people made a big deal of two women anchors when PBS announced the change in early August. "I'm very touched by that," she said. "I'm most touched by young women who stop me on the street and tell me how happy they are about this. I'm amazed at the investment people have in this." Following Lehrer's retirement two years ago, Ifill and Woodruff were part of a five-person anchor rotation with Jeffrey Brown, Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner. Two of the five anchored each night, depending on their schedules. There was nothing wrong with it, said the show's executive producer, Linda Winslow. But she came to conclude that a regular team makes for a sharper identity; people are more likely to say they watch Brian Williams instead of the NBC "Nightly News," for example. The new anchors have lengthy Washington resumes. Woodruff, 66, was a White House correspondent for NBC News during the Carter administration and has two stints at PBS with 12 years at CNN in between. Ifill, 57, started in print, working at The Washington Post and The New York Times, before joining NBC News and then PBS in 1999. Ifill hosts "Washington Week," meaning Woodruff will fly solo on the "NewsHour" on Fridays. Both say they share sensibilities and news instincts. "She's exactly the kind of person you'd want to have by your side if there's a big, breaking story," Woodruff said of her partner. "You want to be beside someone you can trust, whose judgment you can trust." Winslow said it seemed to be the combination that clicked. The women think alike, but have distinct styles. During interviews, Ifill is more conversational, Woodruff more questioning. "She's leaning forward and Gwen is more inviting you to come forward," she said. "NewsHour" anchors have often seemed more like solo artists than a team. Winslow said there will be an effort to have Ifill and Woodruff appear on-screen together more and interact. The show helped draw attention to the pairing when Ifill and Woodruff interviewed President Barack Obama last week, with the poison gas attack in Syria the chief topic.

Single mother rips older workers for staying on the job for too long
Dear Abby: I am appalled at older workers who hang onto their jobs so they can live lavish lifestyles, while young workers trying to support families are left with lack of advancement or even laid off because they dont have tenure. I am a single mom, and when my sons are out of college I plan to take a less stressful job (and thus less pay), so a younger person can have my job to support a family. In the past, there was more of a sense of social responsibility. Now its every man for himself and hang everyone else! Disgusted in Columbus, Ohio Dear Disgusted: Many older people
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
work longer these days not to live lavish lifestyles, but to survive. Its presumptuous to say someone should retire. Many seniors are unprepared financially to do so through no fault of their own. And while you may think now that youll take a reduction in pay when your sons are out of college, it remains to be seen if that will be feasible when the time comes. Dear Abby: My cousin died a short time ago at a very young age and in an unnatural and devastating way. As soon as people outside the family started finding out, they began asking
what happened. Many of these questions were posted on my relatives Facebook pages. Isnt that a very insensitive thing to do? Its not just that they are asking questions of a grieving family who lost their son only hours before, but that they did it through Facebook. Mourning in the Midwest Dear Mourning: Please accept my sympathy for your familys tragic loss. We live in an age in which respect for privacy has nearly disappeared, and folks routinely bare intimate and sensitive details about their lives on the Internet. Of course questions like the ones your relatives are being asked are tasteless whether in person or via electronic media. If a person wishes to convey this kind of information,
it is usually done VOLUNTARILY. Dear Abby: Too often we hear horrifying stories in the news about prescription drug addiction and overdoses. Id like to offer hope to addicts who are still using. There IS life after drugs. For 10 years I was addicted to pain pills. I finally hit rock bottom and went into rehab when I realized my daughter was pulling away from me. I had been spending our rent money on pills Id buy on the streets. After I was sober for a few days, I realized I liked the feeling. After the sixth day, I was me again, and I loved it. I have been sober for two years and am now entering school to become a patient tech. Its exciting because I will be helping others. I be-
lieve this is what I was meant to do. Everyone keeps saying I should tell my story, but to be honest, my story isnt finished yet. Thank you for letting me share. Enjoying Sobriety in Florida Dear Enjoying Sobriety: Youre welcome. Youre right that your story isnt over yet, but from where Im sitting it looks like the next chapter will be a happy and constructive one. I wish you success in your journey.

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your sign mate Thomas Jefferson had it absolutely right when he said, In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will return to the role of student with a long list of fresh questions. The more you learn the more you appreciate the endless loop that is the learning process. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For you, the glory has never been in riding on your high horse; rather, its in getting back on the horse after youve been knocked off. Today youre something of a comeback kid. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will politely listen to the advice and philosophy of admired teachers, even though you may not be able to relate to it as of yet. The ideas will apply when you find evidence of their truth in your own life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sleep is an important part of any mammals life. Dont lie awake worrying about tomorrow when you should be asleep. Instead, outline the plan that will assuage your worries. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your request for excellence will only be understood and acted upon if you also put it in writing. Theres something about ink and paper that makes it so. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll give a gift. The presentation will be crucial to its reception. Some items are so perfect, they shouldnt be packaged with other items that might dilute the value. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You appreciate your family, but that doesnt mean you need every member around you at all times. Youll call on your kin as needed. Set boundaries to instate the policy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Submitting to the judgment of others is a kind of agreement you dont want to get into. When your friends get judgy, its time to pull back and assert your independence. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You understand what youre dealing with much better than anyone else does. What can you do to shed light on the matter so the others can see it, too? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your instructions will be helpful in solving a mystery. You wont spell out the answer, but youll tell people where they should look for the clues. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Its exciting when a natural phenomenon unfolds before you. Youll enjoy watching one of lifes stranger processes in detail. Paying attention is its own reward. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). You wont be so easily pleased, and because of this an inner fire ignites. Ordinary marks of progress wont satisfy you. You wont stop until youve achieved what no one else has. Love in abundance will support you. Your professional status rises in November. Theres a financial reward in October and January. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 24, 11, 7 and 14.
