The Penn State football team gathers on the field before the September 2010 game against Temple at Beaver Stadium in State College. The NCAA slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties Monday, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno’s victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

Facing uncertain future

Rather than deliver the death penalty to the Nittany Lions, the NCAA instead placed the program into a coma on Monday, one that will likely take years to recover from. • Penn State football will continue on. But barely. • Dismayed with what it called “an unprecedented failure of institutional integrity” at the university in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, the NCAA granted President Mark Emmert unique authority to impose severe sanctions on Penn State, forgoing the usual enforcement process.

(The NCAA) took seriously that they were impacted. It gave a clear message that we need to protect children.” MacKay cited the $60 million fine, to be paid over a five-year period into an endowment for programs preventing child sexual abuse and/or assisting victims of child sexual abuse, as

SANCTIONS SLAM PENN STATE

Family blasts NCAA

Joyner: PSU focus is now on future The Associated Press

Relatives of the late coach Paterno say the NCAA’s sanctions defame his legacy. The Associated Press

The statement issued by the family of Joe Paterno in response to the sanctions announced by the NCAA: Sexual abuse is reprehensible, especially when it involves children, and no one starting with Joe Paterno condones or minimizes it. The horrific acts committed by Jerry Sandusky shock the conscience of every decent human being. How Sandusky was able to get away with his crimes for so long has yet to be fully understood, despite the claims and assertions of the Freeh report. The release of the Freeh report has triggered an avalanche of vitriol, condemnation and posthumous punishment on Joe Paterno. The NCAA has now become the latest party to accept the report as the final word on the Sandusky scandal. The sanctions announced by the NCAA today defame the legacy and contributions of a great coach and educator without any input from our family or those who knew him best. That the President, the Athletic Director and the Board of Trustees accepted this unprecedented action by the NCAA without requiring a full due process hearing before the Committee on Infractions is an abdication of their responsibilities and a breach of their fiduciary duties to the University and the 500,000 alumni. Punishing past, present and future students of the University because of Sandusky’s crimes does not serve justice. This is not a fair or thoughtful action; it is a panicked response to the public’s understandable revulsion at what Sandusky did. The point of due process is to protect against this sort of reflexive action. Joe Paterno was never interviewed by the University or the Freeh Group. His counsel has not been able to interview key witnesses as they are represented by counsel related to ongoing litigation. We have had no access to the records reviewed by the Freeh group. The NCAA never contacted our family or our legal counsel. And the fact that several parties have pending trials that could produce evidence and testimony relevant to this matter has been totally discounted. Unfortunately all of these facts have been ignored by the NCAA, the Freeh Group and the University.

Leadership failed

NCAA: ‘Football first’ culture enabled abuse The Associated Press

Excerpt of NCAA statement on sanctions of Penn State football: By perpetuating a “football first” culture that ultimately enabled serial child sexual abuse to occur, The Pennsylvania State University leadership failed to value and uphold institutional integrity, resulting in a breach of the NCAA constitution and rules. The NCAA Division I Board of Directors and NCAA Executive Committee directed Association President Mark Emmert to examine the circumstances and determine appropriate action in consultation with these presidential bodies. “As we evaluated the situation, the victims affected by Jerry Sandusky and the efforts by many to conceal his crimes informed our actions,” said Emmert. “At our core, we are educators. Penn State leadership lost sight of that.” According to the NCAA conclusions and sanctions, the Freeh Report “presents an unprecedented failure of institutional integrity leading to a culture in which a football program was held in higher esteem than the values of the institution, the values of the NCAA, the values of higher education, and most disturbingly the values of human decency.” The NCAA recognizes that student-athletes are not responsible for these events and worked to minimize the impact of its sanctions on current and incoming football student-athletes. Any entering or returning student-athlete will be allowed to immediately transfer and compete at another school. Further, any football student-athletes who remain at the university may re-

payer dollars will be involved in paying the fine, which will go toward programs for preventing child sexual abuse and assisting victims. • From a football standpoint, the most serious punishment is a massive reduction in scholarships, the lifeblood of any program. Beginning with the 2014 season, Penn State will be able field only 65 scholarship players -- down from the NCAA cap of 85 -for four years. Starting with the upcoming recruiting class of 2013, Penn State will also only be allowed to sign 15 scholarship players in each of the next four years, reduced from the usual limit of 25. • Similarly damaging is a four-year postseason ban that will prevent the Lions from playing in a bowl game or the Big Ten championship until the 2016 season. • Those two will affect the program’s future. The NCAA also struck at Penn State’s past, vacating all wins from 1998-2011, 112 in total -- 111 by Joe Paterno and one by interim coach Tom Bradley. The decision removes the late Paterno from the NCAA record books as major college football’s all-time winningest coach, dropping him from 409 career victories to 298. The 1998 date was cited in the Freeh report as the first year Penn State officials were made aware of allegations against Sandusky, who was convicted last month of 45 counts of child abuse. • The program and the university will be on NCAA probation for five

years, and the school will be assigned an independent athletics “integrity monitor” for that span to help ensure future compliance. All of these penalties were agreed to by Erickson, who was the lone Penn State representative to sign off on a consent decree drafted by Emmert and the NCAA. Erickson will not be at the university during much

tain their scholarships, regardless of whether they compete on the team. … “There has been much speculation on whether or not the NCAA has the authority to impose any type of penalty related to Penn State,” said Ed Ray, Executive Committee chair and Oregon State president. “This egregious behavior not only goes against our rules and constitution, but also against our values.” Because Penn State accepted the Freeh Report factual findings, which the university itself commissioned, the NCAA determined traditional investigative proceedings would be redundant and unnecessary. “We cannot look to NCAA history to determine how to handle circumstances so disturbing, shocking and disappointing,” said Emmert. “As the individuals charged with governing college sports, we have a responsibility to act. These events should serve as a call to every single school and athletics department to take an honest look at its campus environment and eradicate the ‘sports are king’ mindset that can so dramatically cloud the judgment of educators.” Penn State fully cooperated with the NCAA on this examination of the issues and took decisive action in removing individuals in leadership who were culpable. “The actions already taken by the new Penn State Board of Trustees chair Karen Peetz and Penn State President Rodney Erickson have demonstrated a strong desire and determination to take the steps necessary for Penn State to right these severe wrongs,” said Emmert.

of the affected years, having announced he will step down from his position in 2014. Signing the consent decree means that Penn State will not appeal any of the sanctions handed down Monday. “It is important to know we are entering a new chapter at Penn State and making necessary changes,” Erickson said in a statement. “We must create a culture in which people are not afraid to speak up, management is not compartmentalized, all are expected to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, and the operating philosophy is open, collegial, and collaborative.” Later in the day, Erickson told the Centre Daily Times that he and school leaders had their “backs to the wall on this. We did what we thought was necessary to save the program.” Erickson said the alternative would have been the “death penalty” -- shutting down football for a year or more -- on top of other sanctions. In addition to the NCAA punishment, the Big Ten also announced Monday that Penn State will be ineligible to receive its share of the conference’s revenues from bowl games for four years. The league estimated that total to be $13 million, which will be be donated to child abuse programs in Big Ten communities. Tasked with holding everything together is Bill O’Brien, who has yet to coach a game for the Lions. O’Brien, who was hired in January to take over for the deposed Paterno, affirmed his commitment to the program despite the crippling sanctions. “I will do everything in my power to not only comply, but help guide the university forward to become a na-

tional leader in ethics, compliance and operational excellence,” O’Brien said in a statement. “I knew when I accepted the position that there would be tough times ahead. But I am committed for the long term to Penn State and our student athletes. “I was then and I remain convinced that our student athletes are the best in the country. I could not be more proud to lead this team and these courageous and humble young men into the upcoming 2012 season. Together we are committed to building a better athletic program and university.” Released in January, O’Brien’s contract contained no sort of “escape clause” -- language that would allow him to leave his post in the event of circumstances such as NCAA sanctions. As written, the contract would require O’Brien to essentially buy out the remaining four-and-a-half years left on it, which would cost him more than $4 million. O’Brien and players did not speak publicly on Monday and declined comment. O’Brien is scheduled to address the situation on Thursday in Chicago at Big Ten media days. Emmert said he hopes the swift and historic message sent to Penn State causes universities across the country to evaluate the role of athletics at the collegiate level. “The gut-check message is do we have the right balance in our culture?" Emmert said. "Or are we in a position where hero worship and winning at all costs has subordinated our core values? “We have to make sure we have the balance right.”

Statement by Penn State acting AD David Joyner: The Freeh Report concluded that individuals at Penn State University entrusted to positions of authority shunned their basic responsibility to protect children, and innocent children suffered as a result. Our hearts go out to the victims of this abuse and their families. Today Penn State takes another step forward in changing the culture at the institution as we accept the penalties of the NCAA for the failure of leadership that occurred on our campus. We are deeply disappointed that some of our leaders could have turned a Joyner blind eye to such abuse, and agree that the culture at Penn State must change. As we move forward, today’s student athletes have a challenging road ahead. But they will do the right thing, as they have always done. I am confident all of our head coaches will come together to make the change necessary to drive our university forward. Penn State will continue to fully support its established athletic programs, which provide opportunities for over 800 student athletes. Working together, the path ahead will not be easy. But it is necessary, just, and will bring a better future. Our faculty, staff, students, athletes, and parents will work together as Penn State begins this new chapter. Though this cooperation and collaboration, Penn State will become a national model for compliance, ethics, and embodiment of the student athlete credo.

well as the adoption of recommendations from the Freeh Report, which include security measures, compliance with the Clery Act and abuse-awareness training. MacKay, who said she read the entire Freeh report, penned by former judge and FBI director Louis Freeh on behalf of Penn State, added that she hopes other universities will examine their policies and procedures. “Policies and procedures have been kind of ignored (in regard to sexual abuse),” MacKay said. “As advocates, we weren’t being heard until the realities were shown, unfortunately in a very dramatic way.” MacKay said that because of the NCAA sanctions, Sandusky’s conviction and general media coverage of the topic, hopefully more victims of sexual abuse will feel comfortable to come forward with their stories. Luzerne County Detective Lt. Gary Sworen, who works with the county’s Child Advocacy Center that deals with children who are victims of sexual abuse, agreed with MacKay. “We need to be open (about child sexual abuse). These things do happen,” Sworen said. “We have to try to protect our young people.” Sworen said he too believes the sanctions will help future victims of sexual assault. But as for the victims of Sandusky, Sworen said it’s hard to say whether they’ll get the closure they want. “The sanctions…are a starting point towards recovery and closure,” he said. “Education is important. (Sexual abuse) has to be addressed.” Psychiatrist Richard Fischbein of Kingston, who treats sexual offenders and victims, said it’s hard to tell how the NCAA’s actions will affect Sandusky’s victims, as victims tend to find it more helpful when the offender is prosecuted. “How it helps individual (victims) varies,” Fischbein said. “Some have developed a lot of anger that the school didn’t help them, while others may feel they wouldn’t have been a victim if the actions were properly reported.” He said he believed the NCAA was sending a message that no football program or sports program can become so important that the school or powers that be lose human decency.

Lawyers to address DPW queries on probe W-B mayor told workers to tell truth to detectives investigating missing fuel.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Mayor Tom Leighton said city attorneys will be “made available” to answer any questions Department of Public Works employees have regarding a criminal probe into missing fuel, but the attorneys will not represent the employee. Leighton said he made the offer to DPW workers during a meeting on Friday at which time he also stressed the importance that they tell the truth if questioned by Luzerne County detectives. “I just wanted to let them know the city administration plans to cooperate 100 percent in any investigation. We want to make sure they answer questions truthfully and honestly,” Leighton said. Frank Sorick, president of the Wilkes-Barre Taxpayers’ Association, said he was concerned by Leighton’s meeting with the employees because two DPW workers told him Leighton said a city attorney would accompany them to any interview with detectives, if

they wished. But Leighton said that is not accurate. Several DPW employees contacted him, wanting to Leighton know what their rights were or if they should have an attorney present if they are contacted by detectives. “I said if they had legal questions or concerns, we would make a city attorney available to answer those questions, but they would not be available to represent them because of a potential conflict,” Leighton said Detectives are expected to interview employees as part of their probe into nearly 18,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel that a Times Leader investigation revealed are missing from the city’s tanks between Dec. 1, 2011 and June 22. Sorick acknowledged it’s possible the employees he spoke to misunderstood Leighton’s comments. He said his primary concern was that city attorneys not represent any employee. “If he’s saying that’s not what happened and it was a misunderstanding, I’m good with that. As long as the city attorney is not accompanying them, I’m happy,” Sorick said.

WSCTC programs praised Tkatch said, and allows the teachers to work as an integrated team to deal with that specific group of students. Hybrid learning integrates digital content into the classroom through the use of laptop computers and allows the students to experience class material in more than one way, Tkatch said. The tech school is one of three local high schools using hybrid learning, Tkatch said – Crestwood and tech school member district Dallas are the others -- and the only tech school in the commonwealth to do so. The project is being funded by a $66,000 grant and will be rolled out first in the health and human services area, which includes health care technology and law enforcement, she said. “I’m so pleased with how our teachers are responding to this,” said Tkatch, “even our veteran teachers are embracing this because they see what it can do.” In other business in the brief meeting, the committee:

• Appointed Daniel Berry as HVAC instructor, effective Sept. 1. • Added Christopher Nice (mathematics) and William Gouger (English) to the professional staff substitute list. • Approved the purchase of a point-of-sale system for the cafeteria at a cost of $8,304 from PCS Revenue Control Systems, Inc. The system will replace a homegrown system and allow better reporting of purchases and speed student progress through the cafeteria lines, the board was told. • Approved purchase of two 3ton, 36,000 BTU air conditioning units from Johnson Controls in the amount of $12,183. The bid was $100 higher than the lowest bid, but the units include heat pumps that were not in the lower priced units, the board was told, and were deemed a better value. The units will be placed in the computer lab and library.

PRINGLE -- Teachers at West Side Career & Technology Center are very positive about two new progressive education programs being introduced this school year, the school’s Joint Operating Committee learned Monday. Administrative Director Nancy Tkatch told the committee that both the clustering and hybrid learning models are being well received as they are rolled out to teachers. She said that in the clustering model teams of academic core subject teachers are partnered with teachers from a group of related occupational shops, so that all students in those shops are taught their academic coursework by the same group of teachers. This allows the teachers to customize their academic core work to be more relevant to what students in those shops will encounter in future employment,

Settlement gets shared

Dozens of Pennsylvania municipalities and non-profit organizations will get a share of an $11.5 million settlement reached with two banks accused of taking part in a bid-rigging scheme, state Attorney General Linda Kelly announced Monday. Locally, the Crestwood School District and the Lackawanna County Multipurpose Stadium Authority are set to receive restitution. The district will get $9,659, while the stadium authority is due $6,071. The money comes from settlements reached with Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. In a press release, Kelly said the banks took advantage of local governments, school districts and non-profit organizations that were attempting to invest or protect the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds. “A number of banks, brokers and financial service firms manipulated the bidding process and shared information, causing victims to pay higher fees and receive lower interest rates,” Kelly said. The Bank of America settlement will result in distribution of $2.9 million to 70 local governments and organizations statewide, while the JP Morgan Chase settlement will distribute $8.6 million.

Bank sued over debit card transactions Suit alleges action caused overdrawing of accounts. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A class-action lawsuit filed against First Community Bank and Trust alleges the bank manipulated the order in which it posted debit card transactions to cause consumers to overdraft their accounts, allowing it to reap “obscene profits” by increasing the number of overdraft fees it imposed.

The suit, filed on behalf of William and April Johnson of Clifford Township in Lackawanna County, claims the bank’s “unconscionable” practices caused some consumers to overdraw their accounts, even though there were sufficient funds to cover the charges. It did so by grouping several days of charges into a single batch, then paying the highest charge first, even when lesser charges were incurred prior to the highest charge. That caused accounts to hit a

negative balance sooner. If the charges hit in the order they were made, or were paid from lowest to the highest, there would have been sufficient funds to cover more of the charges, leading to fewer overdraft fees, according to the suit filed by attorney Jeffrey Ostrow of the Kopelowitz Ostrow law firm in of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “They would sometimes hold a transaction two or three days then, all of a sudden, lump them together,” Ostrow said in a phone interview Monday. “It

makes it nearly impossible to figure out what was in the account most of the time.” In the Johnsons’ case, they once made13 charges on a single day and incurred three separate overdraft fees of $32 each, or $96 total. Had the bank posted the charges from lowest to highest, the couple would have had sufficient funds to cover all but one of the charges, which would have reduced their overdraft fee to $32. The suit is among dozens of lawsuits filed nationwide

This August, the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA is partnering with Volunteers of America for “Operation Backpack” – a program designed to help underserved children get ready for school. Anyone who donates a new backpack with school supplies to the WilkesBarre Y from Aug. 1 to 25 will pay only $20 to start their annual membership – a savings of more than $120. If a current member donates, he or she will receive $20 off his or her next month’s membership fee. “While an exciting time, getting kids ready to go back to school can prove to be a huge financial burden for parents,” said Meghan Davis, marketing and communications director at the Y, adding that Y officials hope the huge membership savings will give prospective and current members of the Y an incentive to donate.

Spending criticized

Study finds King’s on ‘unsustainable financial path’ By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – King’s College has been “on an unsustainable financial path in recent years,” according to a new study by Bain & Company, which determined one-third of nearly1,700 colleges and universities reviewed are “spending more than they can afford.” The study has been criticized for using old data and for using only two financial yardsticks. Using data from 2005 through 2010,

Bain calculated an “equity ratio” by looking at the change of value of an institution’s assets, including endowments, relative to liability. The company also Ryan calculated an “expense ratio” by looking at changes in expenses as a percentage of revenue. If a school’s expense ratio increased by 5 percent and the equity ratio decreased

by 5 percent, it was deemed financially unsustainable. But King’s College President the Rev. Jack Ryan noted that looking at data only until 2010 skews the results because endowment funds of most institutions took big hits during the recession, then began to rebound in 2011. Ryan also said the larger the endowment fund, the more impact a decline in that fund has on Bain’s calculation. See KINGS, Page 6A

WILKES-BARRE – A former employee of the Luzerne County Treasurer’s Office who pleaded no contest in April 2009 to taking more than $14,000 in property-tax payments should be held in contempt of court for failing to pay restitution in the case, the county’s probation office said in court papers Monday. Jennifer Masulis, 37, of Pittston, was sentenced in 2009 by former Judge Michael Toole to two years probation after prosecutors said she stole money on 24 separate occasions from April 17, 2006 to Feb. 9, 2007. At the time of her sentencing, Masulis had already paid back $6,729 toward the total $14,000 owed to the county. In a report dated July 13, the county’s adult probation and parole department said Masulis still owes a total of $7,260, which includes court costs and supervision fees. Masulis is on a payment plan of $75 per month and has defaulted to a total of $850, court papers say. A phone number could not be located to reach Masulis for comment Monday. She had previously been represented by former defense attorney and current county Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. Masulis had worked in the county Treasurer’s Office for about five years when prosecutors were alerted to the missing money when another Treasurer’s Office employee, Laura Beers, said she became alarmed when taxpayers began complaining they received delinquent tax notices when, in fact, their taxes were paid. County Judge William Amesbury scheduled a hearing for Aug. 9 to determine if Masulis should be held in contempt of court.

WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth man convicted by a Luzerne County jury of sexually assaulting two girls will have to wait to learn his punishment. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said Monday that Robert Caravella, 53, will be sentenced after his trial on charges he neglected a teen boy who, investigators said, did not know how

to brush his teeth or bathe. A jury of four women and eight men on April 25 convicted Caravella of sexually assaulting two girls known to him in PlyCaravella mouth and Nanticoke from 2002 to 2005. Police alleged Caravella would make them watch pornographic videos or look at adult magazines. Prosecutors said the girls were 3 and 7 when the assaults began. Caravella’s attorney, Andrew Kat-

sock III, and prosecutors requested the sentencing hearing be continued for different reasons. Katsock sought to have Caravella sentenced after the trial next week while prosecutors are waiting for a report from the Sexual Offenders Assessment Board to determine if Caravella is designated a sexual predator under the state’s Megan’s Law. A new sentencing date has not been scheduled. Caravella’s trial on child endangerment related charges is scheduled to begin Aug. 1. A jury is expected to be selected Monday.

His wife, Carol Hann, 44, is also facing a trial on child endangerment charges. Plymouth police and county detectives allege Caravella and Hann neglected a 13-year-old boy in their care for several years. Investigators allege they found the couple’s home on Gould Street in Plymouth in deplorable condition with garbage covering the floors and a strong odor of urine when the boy was removed in August 2010. The boy did not know how to brush his teeth, use utensils to eat or know how to bathe, investigators said.

James Holmes shuffled into court in a maroon jailhouse jumpsuit with his hands cuffed — the first look the world got of the 24-year-old since the Friday shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 others injured at a packed midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises.”

His attorneys did all the talking when the judge asked him if he understood his rights. His demeanor, however, angered the relatives of some of the victims of the shooting. Some stared at him the entire hearing, including Tom Teves, whose son, Alex, was killed in the attack. Teves watched Holmes intently, sizing him up. “I saw the coward in court today and Alex could have wiped the floor with him without breaking a sweat,” said Teves, whose son, a physical therapist, dove to protect his girlfriend.

Firefighters work to control the fire as the flames are seen near a building in La Jonquera, Spain, near the border with France on Sunday.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says it’s possible to virtually eliminate HIV-infected births and the U.S. is donating $80 million in new funding to help poor countries reach that goal. Treating HIV-infected women so that they protect their babies is a key part of the Obama administration’s goal of an AIDSfree generation. Clinton told the International AIDS Conference Monday that the new money will help get those life-saving drugs to women who now slip through the cracks. Clinton also says the U.S. is investing millions more to study what works best to protect the highest-risk population in hard hit countries— gay and bisexual men, sex workers and injecting drug users.

2 die in cliff plunge

Spanish wildfire forces French family to flee car By ALAN CLENDENNING and MANU FERNANDEZ Associated Press

TERRADES, Spain — As a wildfire closed in on them, five members of a vacationing French family abandoned their car and stumbled through thick smoke down a steep hillside in a desperate bid to reach the waters of the Mediterranean. Instead of a beach, they found themselves at the edge of a cliff with no choice but to jump or try to climb down. Two plummeted to their deaths. The deaths of the father and daughter off the 65-foot high cliff were among the most tragic tales from Spain as it battles blazes during one of its driest summers in decades. The fire involved was likely sparked by someone throwing a lit cigarette out of a car along a small road inundated by vehicles heading to France, police said. The deaths occurred Sunday night in Portbou, a Spanish town just three miles from the French border. Because wildfires elsewhere had forced the closure of the main highway linking Spain to France, traffic was diverted to the smaller road via Portbou. The tossed cigarette apparently started a fire on the pavement which quickly spread to woods along the road before the cars could escape and officials could shut the thoroughfare, Deputy Mayor

Over 100 die in Iraq

A startling spasm of violence shook more than a dozen Iraqi cities Monday, killing more than 100 people in coordinated bombings and shootings and wounding twice as many in the country’s deadliest day in more than two years. The attacks came only days after al-Qaida announced it would attempt a comeback with a new offensive against Iraq’s weakened government. With the U.S. military gone and the government mired in infighting, the Iraqi wing of alQaida has vowed to retake areas it once controlled and push the nation back toward civil war.

Flames ravage the forest near the highway in La Jonquera, Spain, near the border with France on Sunday.

Elisabet Cortaba said Monday. Around 150 people were soon running from their vehicles and down into the rocky terrain toward the beach. The deadly northern regional wind phenomenon called “Tramontana” led to intense gusts in the heavily forested area, spreading the blaze quickly. During all this, the family of five became separated from the rest of the group on the way down and found itself at the

edge of the cliff as the fire closed in, Cortaba said. The mother tried to scale down the crumbly cliff-face, but lost her grip and fell, said Tony Buixeda, the town’s port manager, who was at the scene in a boat. The 60-year-old father died instantly when he hit submerged rocks, and his 15-year-old daughter drowned, Cortaba said.

BEIRUT — Syria threatened Monday to unleash its chemical and biological weapons if the country faces a foreign attack, a desperate warning from a regime that has failed to crush a powerful and strengthening rebellion. The statement — Syria’s first-ever acknowledgement that the country possesses weapons of mass destruction — suggests President Bashar Assad will continue the fight to stay in power, regardless of the cost. “It would be reprehensible if anybody in Syria is contemplating use of such weapons of mass destruction like chemical weapons,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said during a trip to Belgrade, Serbia. “I sincerely hope the international community will keep an eye on this so that there will be no such things happening.” Syria is believed to have nerve agents as well as mustard gas, Scud missiles capable of delivering these lethal chemicals and a variety of advanced conventional arms, including anti-tank rockets and late-model portable anti-aircraft missiles. During a televised news conference Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi stressed that the weapons are secure and would only be used in the case of an external attack. “No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria,” he said. “All of these types of weapons are in storage and under security and the direct supervision of the Syrian armed forces and will never be used unless Syria is exposed to external aggression.” The Syrian government later tried to back off from the announcement, sending journalists an amendment to the prepared statement read out by Makdissi. The amendment said “all of these types of weapons — IF ANY — are in storage and under security.” It was an attempt to return to Damascus’ position of neither confirming nor denying the existence of unconventional weapons.

A pickup truck overloaded with illegal immigrants veered off a highway and crashed into trees in rural South Texas, killing at least 14 people and leaving nine injured, authorities said Monday. Federal immigration agents were looking into the human smuggling aspect of the case, while public safety authorities investigated the cause of the Sunday evening crash in Goliad County, about 150 miles northeast of the border with Mexico. The pickup crammed with 23 immigrants from Mexico and Central America crashed less than an hour’s drive from the site of the nation’s most deadly immigrant smuggling case.

Hal Wentworth, a senior vice president for Community Bank, declined to comment on the suit. The suit relates to debit and/or ATM cards that allow consumers to withdraw money from their account and to make purchases directly from merchants. The funds are deducted automatically from the purchaserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account.

KINGS Continued from Page 4A

According to Bainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data, Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has the biggest endowment fund per pupil among the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-year institutions: $19,359 per full-timeequivalent student, more than double the rate of Misericordia and Marywood universities, and nearly three times the rate at Wilkes University. University of Scranton has the second-highest endowment

Banks, including First Liberty, know instantaneously whether an account has sufficient funds to cover a charge. Rather than decline a purchase when there are insufficient funds, First Liberty allowed the charge to go through so that it could collect an overdraft fee and maximize its profits, the suit says. Ostrow sites a study that estimated banks charged $37.1 billion in overdraft fees alone in 2009, up from $17 billion in 2007. A spokesperson for First Liberty Bank did not return a phone

message Monday seeking comment on the suit. The Johnsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suit notes First Liberty changed its policy in May 2011 and now post charges from lowest to highest. The suit seeks damages for the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past practices. The suit alleges the bank violated several consumer protection statutes. It seeks an order directing the bank to forfeit profits it made from the questioned overdraft fees, as well as to pay restitution for affected persons and punitive damages.

fund per pupil, $18,625. An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education points out the same concerns with the Bain analysis, noting it put some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Harvard and Notre Dame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the financially unsustainable category. Ryan conceded that Bainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculations regarding the expense ratio were accurate, but said it stems from a deliberate decision to increase student aid during the recession.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2008, when the financial crisis and recession hit hardest, we made a purposeful decision to substantially increase financial aid,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. As a result, â&#x20AC;&#x153;net tuitionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the amount students paid after financial aid was factored in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dropped for three years at Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ryan added. The Chronicle also noted that Bain stands to profit from urging colleges to scrutinize their finances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the company offers consulting services to colleges and universities.

Nuangola sewer project advances By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NUANGOLA â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The sewer authority acted Monday night to advance the sewage system project by adopting the recommendation of engineer Rich Kresge that notice to award construction contracts be forwarded to Doli Construction of Chalfont. and Wexcon Contractors Inc. of Mooresville. At a meeting in April, Doli submitted the low bid of $1,139,200 for phase 2 of the project, which entails work outside of the borough. Wexcon had the low bid for phase 1, work within the borough limits, at $4,464,275. The same notice will be provided to Site Specific Designs, EOne Pumps of Niskayuana, N.Y.

on a procurement contract of $961,592 for the purchase of grinder pumps. In turn, Kresge, with the Quad3 Group of Wilkes-Barre, said Wexcon, Doli and Site Specific must provide a certificate of insurance and documentation of a performance bond equal to 100 percent of the contract before an award becomes official.. Kresge said that construction should begin in four to six weeks. Documentation and legal work with two major lenders, Fulton Bank of Lancaster and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, must still be executed. A highway occupancy permit from Luzerne County is still needed, said David Pekar, authority chairman. Pekar said that in county engi-

neer Joe Gibbons most recent communication he is demanding that Nuangola provide a sevenyear performance and maintenance bond, or sustain $400,000 in an escrow account for seven years, for that phase of the sewer line that will parallel Blytheburn Road. Gibbons has said that because Blytheburn Road has been repaved in the past year, he wants assurances from the authority that if any damage occurs, Nuangola will fix it. The sewer authority believes Gibbonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands are excessive. Also, Solicitor Robert Gonos said the authority is moving toward closing on a $6 million bridge loan from Fulton Bank of Lancaster.

SUMMERVILLE, Ga. — More than 1,000 turtles made a slowspeed escape from their turtle farm in northwest Georgia. Turtle farmer David Driver told sheriff’s officials he suspects vandals might be to blame for tearing down fences around his turtle ponds in Summerville. Authorities said that allowed the turtles — including snappers, Eastern paints and yellow-bellied sliders — to leave the farm and make a beeline to nearby ponds and creeks. Driver told The Chattanooga Times Free Press that about1,600 of the 2,200 turtles escaped. He said his business involves selling some turtles to pet-growing operations and others to China. Sheriff’s officials are continuing to search for the turtles. Summerville, known more as the home of folk artist Howard Finster than it is for turtles, is about 90 miles northwest of Atlanta.

Woman is arrested in Pittston burglary

RIDING FOR THE CHILDREN

iders participating in the ‘Christmas in July’ motorcycle run hosted by the Salvation Army to benefit its toy giveaway program in December get ready to take off on the hour-long ride Sunday afternoon in Wilkes-Barre. The ride was planned to end at Konefal’s Grove in the Chase section of Jackson Township with a picnic, live music and other activities.

PITTSTON – Police arrested a Wilkes-Barre woman after investigating a burglary at the American Legion on Vine Street early Monday morning. Brandi Balasavage, 26, of Scott Street, was found lying on her back inwoodsnearthelegionjustbefore 2:30 a.m. A back pack and a crowbar were on the ground next to her, police said. Police allege Balasavage pried open a cash register, a music machine and a money change machine, according to arrest records. It’s not the first time Balasavage has been accused of forcing her way into a business and prying open machines containing money. Court records indicate Balasavage was sentenced in November 2010 on charges she forced her way into the Anthracite Café on Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Dec. 7, 2009, and Dukus’ Café on Pringle Street, Kingston, on April 8, 2010, pryingopenjukeboxes,videogame

KINGSTON – The head of the Luzerne County Transportation Authority and its solicitor on Monday responded to allegations of a cover-up of sexual harassment of a bus driver and padding ridership numbers to increase government funding. Executive Director Stanley Strelish and Solicitor Joseph Blazosek said in a joint written statement that the authority fully investigated the alleged incident of sexual harassment and concluded “the employee who reported the incident requested that the Executive Director not

take any personnel action.” County Councilman Edward Brominski said at a July 17 council meeting that he spoke with two bus drivers, a passenger and a present and former authority board member about drivers logging “ghost riders.” On Thursday, board member Patrick Conway confirmed he spoke with Brominski and drivers about the alleged number padding. He also said former board members told him a female driver was groped by a supervisor last year and the supervisor received two suspensions. He said the incident should have been reported to the police. Strelish and Blazosek said Conway did not raise either issue at any board meeting. But before one meeting began, Conway “made some reference to sexual harassment but was told by staff and board members who heard

his comment that there was a full and complete investigation … and appropriate actions were taken.” They said Conway never requested related documents or more information. Strelish and Blazosek said a federal official in June told them Conway had “made accusations directed at the authority claiming that he needed to investigate his accusations.” They recommended to board Chairman Paul Maher that the entire board and staff fully address the accusations with Conway at the June 26 meeting, but

Conway did not attend it. Strelish and Blazosek said the incident occurred three years ago and, until Conway made his statements, no one, including the alleged victim, brought any further issues, concerns or complaint to the executive director or board. They also said a union provides each employee with full representation and the alleged victim had full access to the resources of the union. They said they hope the matter can be fully addressed at the next board meeting and Conway’s concerns “placed in proper focus and perspective to assure the public that … the authority has acted properly with personnel matters and continues to … provide safe and effective mass transit bus service … without the need for ‘ghost passengers.’” Conway did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Yuknavich’s attorney wants full outline of money allegations WILKES-BARRE – An attorney for Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich has asked prosecutors to outline exactly when his client allegedly took money or made personal purchases with fire company money. Arguing his client is innocent of the charges, attorney Barry Dyller said he cannot “prove who did what if (prosecutors) won’t tell me the specifics.” The arguments were made at a pre-trial hearing for Yuknavich, 48, who was charged in December with taking $11,865 from the department’s bank account between October 2008 and August 2010

and using the department’s credit card at Sam’s Club for $3,706 in personal purchases. Dyller argued Yuknavich it is impossible that all transactions between October 2008 and August 2010 were done criminally, and that multiple credit cards were being used at the same time. Dyller said, for example, two purchases were made on the same day but at two locations two hours apart – one in Pennsylvania the other in New Jersey. “Am I supposed to guess what

items purchased break any laws?” Dyller asked Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. “I need to know what purchases were legitimate and which were illegitimate.” Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick said all of information prosecutors have has been given to Dyller, and prosecutors are alleging each transaction between October 2008 and August 2010 was done criminally. Sklarosky said he would accept court papers from Melnick before issuing a ruling on the request. Dyller also said he did not receivesomecourtpapersregarding the case in the evidence provided by prosecutors, but Sklarosky told the attorneys to work out that as-

pect among themselves. Last week Yuknavich was convicted of drunken-driving charges relating to a November incident and was sentenced to 48-hours in the county prison. Yuknavich was found guilty of the charges after a non-jury trial before Senior Judge Joseph Augello.Yuknavichwasorderedtoserve his sentence beginning Aug. 10. He was charged in November with two counts of driving under the influence and one count of reckless driving after a police officer stopped him near the Plains Township home of Denise Pavlick, who had obtained a protection-from-abuse order against him.

SCRANTON – A federal judge has granted early release to Charles Costanzo, who was convicted of stealing more than $600,000 from Lackawanna County, after being advised Costanzo suffers from terminal cancer. U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik granted the motion, filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, to immediately release Costanzo based on medical reports that say he has less than a year to live. After receiving credit for good conduct, Costanzo would be eligible for home detention as of Feb. 28, 2014, and would have concluded his prison sentence on Aug. 29, 2014. Kosik’s order grants him permission to be released to the home of his mother, Joan, in Dunmore. Costanzo, 51, was convicted in 2009 of stealing $647,260 from Lackawanna County’s workers’ compensation fund. He was sentenced in August 2009 to 70 months in prison. Costanzo was a partner in Ex-

ecutive Claims Administration, which was hired in 2004 by former Lackawanna County commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak to administer the workers’ compensation fund. Cordaro and Munchak were convicted in June 2011 of taking bribes from companies that did business with the county. Prosecutors had planned to call Costanzo to testify, but he refused. In the motion seeking early release, U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith said Costanzo was diagnosed with gastric cancer in April after a large tumor was discovered blocking the entrance of the esophagus to his stomach. His condition is inoperable. He is currently hospitalized at the Hershey Medical Center. Smith notes that federal law allows a judge to reduce a sentence for “extraordinary and compelling reasons.” “The defendant’s terminal medical condition and limited life expectancy constitute ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons,’” Smith said. Kosik’s order directs Costanzo have no contact with any witnesses from his trial or the trial of Cordaro or Munchak. He’s also prohibited from any conduct with Cordaro and Munchak.

A county judge issued an arrest warrant for Balasavage on July 12 charging her with failing to appear in court on a contempt hearing related to the burglaries in 2009 and 2010, court records say. According to the latest criminal complaint: Police investigated a burglar alarm at the American Legion and heard people running from the building into woods. Officers chased and arrested Balasavage, who claimed she fell down an embankment. Police filed charges of burglary, criminal trespass, conspiracy and possessing instruments of crime againstRyanPatrickShanahan,20, of Nanticoke, in connection with the incident. He has not been arraigned. The burglary at the legion was recorded by video, police said. Balasavage is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Aug. 1 before District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston.

OUR OPINION: COMMUNITY

Small minds spoil our ‘small town’

H-OH, THERE’S big trouble here in Mayberry, and the good, God-fearing, hardworking people say they won’t stand for it much longer. Not in their wholesome community. The police chief, whom the children idolized and the adults admired for decades, seemingly turned out to be a flawed guy who did not apply the law to his own life. The chief reportedly decided his small-town neighbors didn’t pay him a big enough salary “to serve and protect,” so he would scam and collect to boost his income. Now the good people are out a lot of tax dollars. And as for their trust, well, it’s nearly shot. The longtime judges who presided over Mayberry’s cases eventually tossed ethics out the courthouse window; it got in the way of their pursuit of wealth and the lifestyles to which they felt entitled: yachts and mansions and family members who knew only instant gratification. Justice was just another victim

of their scheming. Mayberry’s mayor, meanwhile, did as he pleased for years. He helped himself to the people’s property and thumbed his nose at those outside his inner circle, engendering disbelief among many, disdain from some. The woman at Mayberry’s charity, where sick and dying children revealed their wishes, connived to make her own dreams come true. She stole the cash and went to Disney. The treasurer of Mayberry’s youth sports league helped himself to donations, too. As for Mayberry’s fire chief, that fellow is perpetually in hot water. Yes, wholesome Mayberry definitely isn’t the same today as many of the good, God-fearing, hardworking people remember it. There’s been a breakdown of values. A rise in unruly kids. Illegal drugs. Lawlessness. And the old-time residents, who say they won’t stand for it much longer, think they know where to pinpoint the blame for all their community’s troubles: Too many newcomers.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “The hotter the fire, the stronger the steel.” Matt McGloin Penn State University’s quarterback, a graduate of West Scranton High School, sent this message via Twitter the day before Monday’s announcement by the NCAA detailing the $60 million fine and other sanctions it will impose on the university for the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

recently received a letter from Congressman Lou Barletta telling me of his support for the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, which would enable concealed-weapon permit holders to travel with a concealed weapon outside their home states. This is just what the country needs: more guns on the streets and more “stand-your-ground laws.” Then we can have real Western shootouts after fender benders when drivers get into an argument over who caused the accident and one of them feels threatened. Lou, we need fewer guns on the street, not more. Daniel Gelbert Flannery Pringle

Property tax legislation seen as fair and sensible

s many taxpayers might have heard or read, there is a movement afoot in Pennsylvania to eliminate the ultraregressive school property tax in favor of an increase in the personal income tax and the sales tax. The legislation being strongly considered, known as the Property Tax Independence Act (House Bill 1776/Senate Bill 1400), was recently voted down in committee. But it has a strong chance of reappearing in the near future and possibly making it to the floor of the House for a full updown vote. In its current form, this bill would eliminate the local school property tax, which funds about 57 percent of education, in favor of increasing the personal income tax from 3 percent to 4 percent, as well as raising the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. It also would expand the goods and services on which sales tax is collected. How would this affect the average property owner? Since property owners pay a disproportionately large share to fund education, the vast majority would end up with a lot more money in their pockets to spend as they see fit and to help stimulate the economy. Paying the cost of education would be more evenly spread out among all the commonwealth’s residents. First-time homebuyers would not be burdened with exorbitant escrow payments, and senior citizens would not fear losing their homes to foreclosure because they can’t afford spiraling school tax bills. Most important, schools across the state would be funded by a single source (the state itself) and therefore all schools would be guaranteed an equal share of funding based on student population. No more disparities based on stagnant tax bases or rural areas. Also, this new method of funding is fairer to everyone because it’s based directly on a person’s ability to pay based on their family income, unlike the property

tax. There is a website you can visit to calculate exactly how much you would save under this plan: www.ptcc.us/ pfpfcalc.htm. I encourage all property owners to visit it, do the math and then get busy contacting your legislators, urging them to enact this fair and sensible law. The future of our state’s education system and economic well-being are hanging in the balance. David L. Chaump Duryea

Pet lover welcomes new hospital in Kingston

blessing is on the way. The report about a state-of-the-art pet hospital opening in Kingston couldn’t be better news. I don’t know all the hospitals and vets in the area; I am sure there are some very goods ones and some that are in it only for financial gain. I had an experience with the latter. In the last six months I have talked to several dozen broken-hearted and disillusioned pet lovers with horror stories. On advice of counsel, we have to temporarily postpone the protest. Like people who have to go to Philadel-

Hispanics shouldn’t get affirmative action status

ffirmative action is inappropriately granted to Hispanics, to women and to the children of successful black people. Likewise, that same status is inappropriately denied to single, healthy, white heterosexual American males who don’t have children. The original purpose of affirmative action was to compensate black people for the cumulative negative socioeconomic effects of having been born to an ancestry of slaves. The intent was to compensate Americans for having been denied the American dream. It was never the purpose of affirmative action to give Hispanics and other immigrants from Latin America a helping hand in attaining the American dream. What is more, it is doubtful that most Hispanics can even trace their bio-political lineage back to ancestors who were held as black American slaves. Most Hispanics and other Latin Americans can likely trace their bio-political lineage back to the Spanish empire, the other European empires that established colonies in Central and South America, or to the indigenous peoples of South America. All of those empires held slaves. The Spanish empire in particular traveled around South America hunting for slaves, gold and political power over others. The descendants of those European empires later fought against the U.S. military in the Spanish-American War, the Mexican-American War and the proxy wars. Throughout the entirety of this history, Hispanics and other Latin Americans shot at and killed U.S. soldiers. It is therefore a lie and a financial fraud for the biological descendants of enemy soldiers who fought against U.S. regiments to come to the United States and claim affirmative action status. Finally, organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center, as well as our own would-be (if they could be) liberal sociopolitical experts and “talking heads” of Northeastern Pennsylvania news, will claim that there is no such thing as a biopolitical lineage. They will assert that to even suggest such a thing is both wrong and racist. Yet, if their truly is no such thing as a predetermined bio-political circumstance, then why are Hispanics and other Latin Americans granted affirmative action status for everything from U.S. social services, to U.S. education, to U.S. employment? Isn’t it racist and wrong to categorize people based on their biological lineage? Sean M. Donahue Hazleton

Tom Pugh will still wear his Penn State class ring proudly. “It is a sad day for Penn State football and a sadder day for the university,” Pugh, of Hunlock Creek, said. “But I have nothing but pride for my education and the education of my four children.” Pugh, his three daughters and son graduated from Penn State. Pugh says it’s difficult to accept

what has happened in Happy Valley. “We all do not want to believe that about Joe (Paterno), but it is what it is,” Pugh said. “We all should consider what we would have done in the same situation. I’ve seen the online comments, and it’s good to know that we live

in a community of righteous, morally perfect people.” Penn State fans are trying to come to grips with the devastation of not just their beloved Nittany Lions and the reputation of their iconic coach Paterno, but the university and all of its students and athletes.

Jim Brozena said he and his wife, Jackie, of West Pittston, will continue to attend Penn State games. “I’m sure it will be much different for God knows how many years,” he said. “But we all have to move forward.” And Brozena quickly noted that Penn State football had not committed any NCAA recruiting violations. “The sad part is this will not just adversely affect the football team, but all other programs – especially women’s sports. Football made a lot of money and financed a lot of the other sports on campus.” Jackie Brozena, a Penn State

alumna, said Nittany Lion fans are first concerned with the victims of Sandusky. With that said, some punishments were in order for those responsible. Two of the principals in the case – administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz – have yet to be tried. Many Penn State fans feel the entire story of what happened and who was most responsible for the cover-up is yet to be told. “This was more a failure of administration than it was of the football program,” Jackie Brozena said.

Penn State Wilkes-Barre students said the NCAA’s sanctions announced Monday disappointed and angered them. Junior psychology major Fred Orlando, 20, of Swoyersville, said he is outraged over the university’s complacent attitude over NCAA’s harsh punishment. “I think we could’ve done a lot more bargaining, but the administration just wants to get past this, thinking it could be worse. But we are just shy of the worst,” he said. “They think they’re hurting the players, but they’re hurting past, present and prospective students.” “I think for a while people will want to esOrlando trange themselves from Penn State, but we will come back stronger than ever,” he added. Junior Laura Mann, 20, of Middletown, N.Y., agrees. “I think the board of trustees should have had more say instead of Mann just signing off on it without any discussion” said Mann, who is majoring in administration of justice. “I think they’re punishing the wrong people. They got rid of the people who did the harm. Face it: Sandusky’s in prison, he is not getting out,” she added. Added civil engineering student Ray DeArmitt, 20, of Harding: “I don’t really see how NCAA can demand all that.” While disappointed, senior Kate Lewis, of Canadensis, an administration of justice major, said the terms of the sanction were fair, given the crime. “Honestly, as a student I am disappointed in our football team being stunted for the next five years, but I agree with the monetary intentions because it will insure that this never happens again. This is something that we as Penn State culture need to understand and move forward, so that it doesn’t just sweep under the rug,” she said. Accounting major Meghan Langan, of Trucksville, said what bothers her the most are sanctions on the football program. “I get that they want to help kids to make it seem like we’re supporting abused kids, but to make the whole football team pay is ridiculous. Those wins happened back then, and for them to take that away from us is unreasonable. Those players probably feel so devastated right now.” While Langan chose Penn State for its academics as opposed to the football reputation, she admits that if she were a senior in high school now, Penn State probably would not be her first pick. “The scandal kind of gives it a bad name, but it’s one man, not the entire school. Either way, I’ll still go to Penn state loud and proud,” said Langan. SHANTELLE JOHNSON attended Penn State Wilkes-Barre for two years and will be attending University Park as a junior in the fall. She can be contacted at suj5003@psu.edu.

State Class of 1966 ran unsuccessfully for the Penn State Board of Trustees. Kresge said what the NCAA did to chastise the university “is a bit heavy.” He doesn’t deny there was a cover-up, and he says Penn State must pay for its faults. He agrees it is appropriate to bar Penn State from future bowl game appearances for a time to penalize the school financially. And he agrees the fine imposed is appropriate, but a bit high. “The football program supports almost exclusively over 800 student athletes in 30 sport teams from fencing to badminton

Ed Deets, owner of Auto-Bus in Mountain Top, expects the part of his business transporting fans to Penn State games will be affected by the NCAA sanctions announced Monday.

Still game to go?

Economy, scandal may impact ticket sales By ANDREW M. SEDER and BILL O’BOYLE aseder@timesleader.com • boboyle@timesleader.com

d Deets remembers when Nittany Lions fans would fill four or five of his Auto-Bus Tours charters to travel to any given Penn State football home game. This year, with the vaunted program sanctioned with NCAA penalties that will hamper it for years to come, Deets believes it will be a good Saturday if one bus is chartered per game. A combination of the sour economy and the sexual abuse scandal led to Deets, 84, downsizing his bus complement from 16 to six and hoping some fans will still charter buses and go to games. “I’m not counting on it,” Deets, who owns the Mountain Top bus charter company, said Monday. “It’s gonna take some time,” he added. Ted Patton at Martz Trailways in Wilkes-Barre said Penn State bus trips have been declining the last several years, but he attributed it to rising ticket prices. Patton said the Sandusky scandal and the NCAA penalties will only make Nittany Lions fans mad and more determined to show their support. “The fan support will remain,” Patton said. “The sad part is that so many kids will be hurt by this and they had nothing to do with the scandal or the cover-up.” Patton said he doesn’t know how many Penn State bus trips Martz will make this year. He said it depends on the ticket prices. Loyal Lion fans But one local season ticketholder says the penalties levied against Penn State will not stop him from being in Beaver Stadium this fall. Bill Hottenstein, of Plains Township, has been a season ticket holder since 1984 and has eight tickets for each home game this season. He said that to punish the young men now on the team, who had nothing to do with the sex abuse scandal that occurred in the late 1990s and over

the past decade, is not fair. “There’s nobody there that had anything to do with what Sandusky did,” Hottenstein said, mentioning the former football assistant coach found guilty last month by a Centre County jury on 45 sexual abuse related charges. “What Joe Paterno did or didn’t do is between Joe and God,” Hottenstein said. He said the players on the team today were boys, some as young as 4, when the abuse for which Sandusky was convicted was taking place.

The team, the program, and especially those players and coaches who played no role in the abuse or the cover-up, need to be supported Hottenstein said, and he will continue to do just that. “Will I be as proud? No, I’ll be sad of everything that they say happened,” Hottenstein said. But he believes there are thousands of others like him who will not turn their back on the team, though he acknowledges “there will always be detractors.” See TICKETS, Page 12A

NEW YORK — The $60 million fine levied on Penn State by the NCAA doesn’t look so big next to the scale of the athletic department’s finances. Penn State plans to pay the fine, part of sanctions announced Monday over the child sexual abuse scandal, in five annual installments of $12 million. The Penn State athletic department had more than $116 million in revenue to more than $84 million in expenses for the 2010-11 school year, according to data reported by the school to the U.S. Department of Education. The expenses don’t include debt service or capital expenditures. Penn State won’t be able to save money by making cuts in other sports. The NCAA specifically prohibited that as part of the punishment. Instead of simply cutting costs, the athletic department can make up for any shortfalls in another way: raising money. Major college athletic departments receive significant financial support from booster clubs. The Nittany Lion Club took in more than $82 million for the 2011 fiscal year, according to its annual report. That includes $34 million in special gifts for facilities. Its annual fund brought in $17 million, and donations for suites and club seats at Beaver Stadium totaled $12 million. There were 50 contributors who gave at least $20,000 each. Bob Harrison, Class of 1962, has donated more than $250,000 to Penn State in his life. Frustrated that the NCAA based its sanctions on what he considers a deeply flawed Freeh report, Harrison’s support for the school and the athletic department has not wavered. And he believes he’s not the only booster who feels that way. “I would say a high percentage supporting the athletic program will continue to,” said Harrison, who worked for Goldman Sachs for 28 years. The reduction in football scholarships handed down by the NCAA will save the athletic program some. The accompanying bowl ban could also reduce costs, because schools often lose money on lower-level bowls. At Penn State, the men’s basketball team had profits of nearly $5 million in 2010-11, according to the Department of Education report. Teams other than football and men’s basketball had about $23 million in expenses, and the athletic department spent another $36.5 million on expenses not allocated to a particular sport. Football cost $19.5 million. Of course, football revenue could lag if the team struggles badly on the field as a result of the sanctions, and ticket sales decrease. Penn State received more than $208 million in donations for the fiscal year that just ended, the secondhighest total in school history.

SANCTIONS SLAM PENN STATE

PENN STATE BRIEFS

IN THEIR WORDS Reaction to the NCAA penalties against Penn State “It is important to know we are entering a new chapter at Penn State and making necessary changes. We must create a culture in which people are not afraid to speak up, management is not compartmentalized, all are expected to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, and the operating philosophy is open, collegial, and collaborative.”

New PSU coach O’Brien says he’s staying with program INDIANAPOLIS — New Penn State coach Bill O’Brien says he’s committed to the school despite the harsh sanctions imposed Monday by the NCAA, including a four-year postseason ban and a big loss in scholarships. In a statement released by the school, O’Brien said, “I knew when I accepted the position that there would be tough times ahead. But I am committed for the long term to Penn State and our student athletes.” School President Rodney Erickson says Penn State accepts the penalties. He says the NCAA sanctions will help the school “define our course.” Associated Press

Rodney Erickson Penn State president

——— “Today we receive a very harsh penalty from the NCAA and as head coach of the Nittany Lions football program, I will do everything in my power to not only comply, but help guide the University forward to become a national leader in ethics, compliance and operational excellence. I knew when I accepted the position that there would be tough times ahead. But I am committed for the long term to Penn State and our student athletes.”

Bill O’Brien Penn State football coach

——— “We are deeply disappointed that some of our leaders could have turned a blind eye to such abuse, and agree that the culture at Penn State must change. As we move forward, today’s student athletes have a challenging road ahead. But they will do the right thing, as they have always done. I am confident all of our head coaches will come together to make the change necessary to drive our university forward.” —

David Joyner Penn State acting athletic director

——— “We cannot look to NCAA history to determine how to handle circumstances so disturbing, shocking and disappointing. As the individuals charged with governing college sports, we have a responsibility to act. These events should serve as a call to every single school and athletics department to take an honest look at its campus environment and eradicate the ‘sports are king’ mindset that can so dramatically cloud the judgment of educators.” Mark Emmert NCAA president

——— “Penn State University is a great institution and has been a valued member of the Big Ten Conference for more than 20 years. Since early November 2011, it has been working very hard to right a terrible wrong. There is more to be done. The intent of the sanctions imposed today is not to destroy a great university, but rather to seek justice and constructively assist a member institution with its efforts to reform.” Big Ten Conference, council of presidents and chancellors

——— “Vacating wins is a hollow punishment that will be forgotten by the time the next season begins. Bans from bowl games have been issued in the past because players traded championship rings for tattoos. This is not a punishment that is equal to the horrific crimes that happened at Penn State.”

Karen Polesir Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, an advocacy group for victims of clergy sexual abuse

——— “Now’s a time for us to come together and heal. They’ve got the criminals in jail. Those who’ve passed on have to take that to their graves with them. The rest of us have to stay here and figure out how to heal. I mean, it’s still a great institution, it’s still a great university, and it’s our job to make it better.”

Troy Cromwell Wide receiver on Penn State’s 1986 national championship team

——— “I also want assurance from Penn State that no taxpayer dollars will be used to pay the $60 million fine imposed on the university today.”

Q & A on Penn State’s wins NCAA makes Penn State vacate all its wins from 1998.

lent to a year of revenue from the football program. The Big Ten has said Penn State won’t get its cut of bowl revenue for four years, a loss of about $13 million more on top of that. Nothing was said about refunds to fans or coaches returning their salaries from vacated games. Such actions have not been part of previous situations in which schools were forced to vacate wins.

The Associated Press

One of the penalties the NCAA levied against Penn State was forcing the school to vacate all its wins from 1998, the year coach Joe Paterno and other top university officials became aware of an accusation that assistant coach Jerry Sandusky had showered with a young boy, through 2011. Penn State lost 112 wins, and Paterno’s major college football record 409 victories were reduced to 298, knocking him down the list. In question-and-answer form, here is a look at what it means for victories to be “vacated.” ••• Q: Does vacating a win mean the opponent won? A: No. According to the NCAA, opposing teams are not granted wins, as in a forfeit. The penalized school simply can’t claim credit for that victory. For instance, in 2009, Penn State opened the season with a 31-7 rout of Akron. Penn State will lose credit for that win, but Akron cannot claim it as a victory. ••• Q: What about individual player records? Does it have any implications? A: The NCAA specifically said Paterno’s career record will reflect the vacated records. As for players, the NCAA has said nothing, and no players were found at any fault in the case. When the NCAA has pun-

Report on ticket sales According to information provided by Penn State’s Office of Public Information, there were 84,271 season tickets sold last year. To date this year, there have been 81,876 sold. Single-game tickets in 2011 averaged 8,711. Those tickets for this year’s games go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. on GoPSUsports.com/tickets. One of the hardest tickets in college football to get your hands on will likely be much easier, and cheaper, Hottenstein said. “It’s not going to be good for the scalpers,” Hottenstein joked. “They’re going to be collecting unemployment.” Attorney Mike Hudacek, of Plymouth, his wife, Sylvia, and son, Michael Jr., have been Penn State supporters for many years. The penalties levied against the university will not alter their support. And Hudacek, like others interviewed, lamented the what ifs associated with the entire scandal. “This will have far-reaching effects that will really hurt Penn State,” Hudacek said. “One phone call of the administrators would have prevented this whole scandal.”

to football,” Kresge said. “The reduction in student athletic scholarships will hurt a program which is still reeling from last year and now has to start with a new head coach and coaching staff.” Kresge doesn’t agree with vacating the Penn State victories from 1998 to 2011.

••• Q: Who is now the winningest coach in major college football? A: The record for most major college victories has reverted to Bobby Bowden, whose record at Florida State, West Virginia and Samford is officially 377-129-4. He had won 389 games, but 12 of them were — you guessed it — vacated in 2010 following an academic cheating scandal. AP FILE PHOTO

ished specific players, it has vacated individual records, and the NCAA bylaws provide for the removal of individual records and performances. No such actions have been taken against in this case. ••• Q: Are there financial implications? Do fans get their money back for games that, technically, never were? Do coaches lose pay? A: Probably not. The NCAA has fined Penn State $60 million, roughly equivaThe Freeh report makes it very clear that had administrators done what was in the best interests of the victims and contacted law enforcement, rather what was in the best interests of themselves or the school and done nothing, the school would have come through mostly unscathed. “If that phone call was made, another agency would have determined if this Sandusky incident was severe and worth pursuing and it would have been out of Penn State’s hands. Our highly educated, overpaid administrators failed the Penn State community, and they have to pay the price,” he said. Hudacek said it is now up to “Penn Staters” to show the world what they are made of as life goes on. Hudacek said all Penn State season ticket holders he knows will continue to support the team. “Time will unravel everything; life will go on even at Penn State,” he said. Hudacek said he expects attendance at Beaver Stadium to drop over the next few years. “We’ve lost our legacy. Will it ever come back? I wonder if Penn State football will ever be as big as it was,” the Plymouth resident said. Dave Roberts, a native of Kingston who now lives just north of Pittsburgh, said he renewed his season ticket for 2012 and he will attend the games. “It is what it is – justified or not,” he said. “Penn State signed a statement that they agree with it; they will comply with the

“Right now, that only hurts the legacy of someone who absolutely had nothing to do with the Sandusky issue and Kresge did only what he could have under the circumstances,” Kresge said. “I feel what Joe truly meant when he said ‘I only wish I had done more’ is that he should have stayed on Curley’s case until he

••• Q: When was the last “official” win for Penn State, now that all its wins since 1998 have been vacated? A: The Nittany Lions lost the last two games of the 1997 season, so Penn State’s last official win now was Nov. 22, 1997, when it beat Wisconsin 35-10. The quarterback that season was Mike McQueary, who later served as a graduate assistant and encountered Sandusky assaulting a boy in the shower at the football facility in 2001. The incident was the second time Penn State officials, including Paterno, had been informed of Sandusky’s questionable dealings with boys and didn’t do anything to stop him, according to the Freeh Report. NCAA penalties. The university will do what it needs to do.” Roberts said players will transfer, attendance will drop and the caliber of football will decline. “We knew it was coming,” he said. “But it’s still painful.” ‘We are … Penn State’ Mandy Naunczek, 34, of Scranton, walked through several stores Monday morning in her Penn State-logoed clothes and got stares and comments from fellow shoppers. But she also got a few chants of “We are,” which she gladly completed with a return of “Penn State!” The Union Township native was born into a Penn State-rabid family and raised that way. Though she attended Bloomsburg University, she bleeds blue and white. Before having a child three years ago, Naunczek attended two or three games a year. Now, she’ll attend one or two, but she’d go to more if she could to support her adopted team. She said she feels awful for current students, including offensive lineman Eric Shrive, who lives across the street from her on Rundle Street. “I’m still going to cheer them on,” she said, even though she’s “sad, disgusted, and angry at Sandusky.” “I think the strong will still be attending,” she said, adding her fears that the older crowd will remain loyal while the younger crowd might not turn out in droves.

resolved the matter instead of letting them cover it up. Joe was an honorable man and would never have covered an issue like this up.” Pugh questioned the need to vacate all of Penn State’s football victories since the end of the 1997 season. “I’m sure the NCAA wanted to make a statement,” he said. “I get the fine, and it appears it will be used for good purposes; I understand the bowl sanctions; and I think the scholarship cuts

are all designed to provide a slow death for the program. I guess it will heap more infamy on Joe Paterno and make sure he never gets in the record books,” Pugh said. Student-athletes suffer Jackie Brozena said the community will rally around new coach Bill O’Brien and the players “who have hung in there.” She said they will come out better in the long run. “I feel badly for these student-athletes,” she

Peachy Paterno ice cream sales going to abuse work STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s popular on-campus creamery is devoting sales of an ice cream flavor named for Joe Paterno to an organization that works with the issue of child sexual abuse. The university’s College of Agricultural Sciences said Monday it would donate sales of Peachy Paterno for the next year, but it hasn’t identified the recipient yet. Berkey Creamery has sold Peachy Paterno since the flavor won an ice-cream naming contest run by the Food Science Club in 1987. A department spokesman says the name will remain one of 100 flavors the creamery sells. The flavor honors Paterno’s work on behalf of the university’s academic side. Revenue from Berkey’s ice cream sales usually helps fund graduate assistant and undergraduate intern positions in the Food Science Department. Associated Press Spanier: I was abused, wouldn’t turn blind eye PHILADELPHIA — Graham Spanier says he wouldn’t have ignored child sexual-abuse complaints as Penn State’s president because he was beaten repeatedly as a child. Spanier’s lawyer, Peter Vaira, tells The Associated Press that Spanier received regular “disciplinary beatings” by his father, and had to have his nose straightened several Spanier times. Vaira says the abuse was never sexual. Spanier sent a letter to Penn State University’s board of trustees saying he would not have turned a blind eye to the victims of convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach, because of his own abuse history. The letter was first reported Monday by The Patriot-News. A recent internal report on the Sandusky scandal blasted Spanier, former coach Joe Paterno and others for failing to report the abuse complaints to authorities. Associated Press Corbett wants no tax dollars to pay for $60 million fine HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett says he wants assurances that Penn State won’t spend any tax dollars on the $60 million fine levied by the NCAA. The governor said Penn State is “more than football” and expressed confidence the university will regain its reputation as a “world-class” institution. Associated Press

said. “They came to Penn State to play football and get an education and now those goals may be prevented because of this, and yet they had nothing to do with what happened,” she said. But she and her husband will be in the stands when the Nittany Lions take the field later this year. “Loyalty runs deep,” she said. “I don’t believe this will severely affect the support for the team.”

NCAA, Big Ten inflict massive penalties on PSU

TATE COLLEGE -- Not long after Bill O’Brien took over as coach at Penn State, a few new signs appeared at the team’s Lasch Building headquar-

ters. One, posted on a door in the back, gives five bullet point reminders for players “WHEN YOU LEAVE HERE,” outlining expectations in the community and the classroom. The fifth and final directive instructs players to “Ignore the Noise.”

Dozens of Nittany Lions, upon exiting that same door on Monday morning following a team meeting, did just that, silently walking past a large crowd of media seeking comment in the aftermath of the NCAA’s severe sanctions against the football program and university.

Lewis’ commitment to PSU remains strong … for now By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE – Before ever playing a down at Penn State, Eugene Lewis learned that he may never get to play in a bowl game for the Nittany Lions. Heavy sanctions levied by the Lewis NCAA against the football program on Monday have clouded the future for the Wyoming Valley Conference standout. On one hand, Lewis’ father said his son will remain at Penn State. “Oh yeah, that’s no question,” Eugene Lewis Sr. said Monday evening. “He’s that type of person, when he’s committed to you, he’s committed to you.” Lewis’ former football coach at Wyoming Valley West said, however, that Lewis was unsure if he would transfer to another school when he last heard from him in the late afternoon and early

evening Monday. “Well, we were texting, so I wasn’t able to tell any emotion with him, but I’m sure he’s pretty devastated,” Pat Keating said. “He told me he’d take a day or two to make his decision.” Adding to the confusion was the fact that Lewis, along with Penn State players and coaches, were not available for comment Monday. The football team also traditionally does not allow first-year players to speak to the media. Lewis, who starred as a quarterback and wide receiver at Valley West, arrived in State College earlier this month and would have a chance to see the field as a true freshman at wideout. If he plays immediately in 2012 and does not use a redshirt season, however, he will not have the opportunity to play in a bowl game during his Penn State career. Among Penn See LEWIS, Page 4B

The late coach really dug the Lions a grave They paralyzed Penn State’s football program. They pillaged its once-storied past. And they fouled up any future new coach Bill O’Brien hoped to build in his early years as the team’s new leader. Not NCAA president Mark Emmert and his band of college sports regulators. Joe Paterno and his Penn State cronies did all this. If you’re looking for someone to blame for all the harsh penalties handed down by Emmert on Monday, point the finger at Penn State’s late head coach. He’s the one who turned Penn

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION State pride into a symbol of shame, remaining quiet while his former defensive coordinator and recently-convicted sexual predator Jerry Sandusky preyed on young boys for more than a decade. And Paterno’s the one who became so swelled with power, people feared challenging his football program to the point where they covered up a crime. “There is no action we can take that will remove their pain,” Emmert said in a televised press conference. So instead, the NCAA crippled

the program Paterno built a day after his disgraced statue was rightfully removed from outside Beaver Stadium. He’s no longer the all-time winningest coach in major college football history, down to a record of 298-136-3 after losing 111 career victories the NCAA forced Penn State to vacate over the past 15 seasons, starting from 1998. “The 1998 date was selected because that’s when the first (child abuse) incident was reported,” Emmert said. “The university’s failures began at that point.” Now future generations of Nittany Lions will suffer for the sins of the all-powerful Paterno, who was See GRAVE, Page 4B

Southwind Jazmin is way overdue for a win and this evening is her time to get the job done. The four-year old daughter of Art Major has simply had the worst of luck recently, getting beat at the wire every way imaginable. Tonight it’s time to change her luck around and finally get rid of her string of seconditis at Pocono Downs (she’s finished second in her last four races at the Mohegan). I’m looking for driver Jim Morrill Jr. to put this Mark Harder trained pacer on the lead early and never look back, getting that second picture taken of the year in that ninth race featured event. BEST BET: SOUTHWIND JAZMIN (9TH) VALUE PLAY: URJOKIN A (6TH)

Yankees add Ichiro to their star-studded lineup The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Ichiro Suzuki is headed to a new team and, after all these years, maybe a shot at playing in the World Series. The New York Yankees acquired the star outfielder from the Seattle Mariners in a trade Monday for two young pitchers. “I am going from a team with the most losses to a team with the most wins,” he said. “It’s hard to contain my excitement for that reason.” The Yankees also got cash in the deal that sent 25-year-old righties D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to the last-place Mariners. The trade was announced a few hours before the Yankees played at Seattle.

Phils rally past Brewers in 9th The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Ty Wigginton hit a sacrifice fly to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning against Francisco Rodriguez and lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. The Phillies were 0-42 when trailing after eight innings before coming back against Rodriguez, who replaced John Axford as the closer last week. With one out, Jimmy Rollins walked, Juan Pierre singled and Chase Utley walked to load the bases. Ryan Howard ripped an 0-2 pitch up the middle to drive in a pair and cut it to 6-5. Carlos Ruiz followed with a line-drive hit to left-center to tie it at 6. Hunter Pence walked to load the bases again. Eric Kratz entered to run for Howard. Wigginton followed with a liner to left and Kratz scored easily ahead of Ryan Braun’s off-target throw. Rodriguez (2-5) has blown five saves in eight tries. Marlins 2, Braves 1

MIAMI — Josh Johnson pitched six scoreless innings and Emilio Bonifacio homered to lead the Florida Marlins to a win over the Atlanta Braves. Four relievers combined to pitch the final three innings, including Steve Cishek, who recorded his third save in six chances to help the Marlins snap a five-game losing streak. Chipper Jones hit an RBI single in the ninth to pull the Braves within 2-1 before Scott

Cousins made a sliding catch in center field to rob Freddie Freeman of a hit and end the game. Johnson (6-7) struck out nine, allowed one hit and did not walk a batter. He threw 53 of his 87 pitches for strikes. Braves starter Mike Minor (5-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. Cubs 2, Pirates 0

PITTSBURGH — Jeff Samardzija gave up one hit over eight innings and Alfonso Soriano hit two run-scoring doubles as the Chicago Cubs cooled off the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 on Monday night. Samardzija allowed only a fourth-inning infield single to Andrew McCutchen, the major leagues’ leading hitter with a .373 average. The ball ricocheted off Samardzija. Nationals 8, Mets 2

NEW YORK — Bryce Harper homered his first time up in New York, then hit a tiebreaking single to key a six-run burst in the 10th inning that sent the Washington Nationals over the Mets. Shortstop Ruben Tejada’s error on a potential doubleplay ball set up the big 10th. Ryan Zimmerman hit a threerun double and Michael Morse added a two-run homer as the NL East-leading Nationals broke away. The Mets lost for the 10th time in 11 games. A day earlier, they gave up five runs in the 12th inning and fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Feldman leads Texas to win vs. Red Sox The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Scott Feldman, starting after Roy Oswalt was scratched with back tightness, threw seven strong innings to lead the Texas Rangers to a 9-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. Feldman (4-6) won his fourth straight decision and pitched his longest outing since throwing eight innings on June 2, 2010. He gave up one earned run and seven hits with five strikeouts. Just before the game started, it was learned Texas starting pitcher Colby Lewis will miss the rest of the season because of a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow that will require surgery. Indians 3, Orioles 1

CLEVELAND — Justin Masterson, backed by three double plays, pitched 7 1-3 strong innings to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 on Monday night and avoided a four-game sweep. Masterson (7-8) struck out

Suzuki was given No. 31 because the number he wore his entire career with the Mariners, No. 51, has not been worn since four-time World Series champion Bernie Williams last played. “No. 51 is a special number to me, but when I think about what 51 means to the Yankees, it’s hard for me to ask for that number.” Mitchell made his major league debut this season and pitched four games for the Yankees. Farquhar made his big league debut last year with Toronto and was claimed last month on waivers by the Yankees from Oakland. The 38-year-old Suzuki had spent his whole big league career with Seattle. The 10-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner is batting .261 with four

Moving from one clubhouse to another, Suzuki was set to start in right field in place of the injured Nick Swisher and bat eighth for New York on Monday night. It will be the first time Suzuki started a game batting anywhere other than the top three spots in the lineup. The Yankees made the trade a few days after learning that the speedy Brett Gardner would likely miss the rest of the season because of an elbow problem, and manager Joe Girardi said Suzuiki will mostly play left field. “We’re very excited with the caliber of player we are getting. We feel that he brings the speed element. He’s a tremendous hitter. That speed element is what we lost when Gardy had surgery,” Girardi said. “So this is a big day for us.”

six as Cleveland broke a fourgame losing streak. The righthander gave up only one run and seven hits, improving to 5-2 over his last eight starts. White Sox 7, Twins 4

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn hit his majors-leading 29th homer, Gavin Floyd went six innings after coming off the disabled list and the Chicago White Sox ended a five-game losing streak with a win over the Minnesota Twins. Paul Konerko and Alex Rios also homered off Twins lefthander Francisco Liriano to help the White Sox win in their first home game following a 3-7 road trip after the All-Star break that knocked them out of first place in the AL Central. Floyd (8-8) wasn’t sharp but benefited from four double plays. He walked six, gave up six hits and three runs — two earned. Liriano (3-10) allowed seven hits — including the three homers — and a season-high seven runs in 2 2-3 innings.

home runs, 28 RBIs and 15 stolen bases this year. Suzuki is a career .322 hitter, a former AL MVP and holds the record for most hits in a season. He had batted over .300 in every season until dipping last year. The only thing missing on Suzuki’s resume is an appearance in the World Series, and he may get a chance with the Yankees. Suzuki was the AL MVP and rookie of the year in 2001 after a stellar career in Japan, and the Mariners reached the AL championship series that season before losing to the Yankees. AP PHOTO Seattle has not been back to the playoffs since then. New York Yankees’ Ichiro Suzuki He said he hasn’t played in left field waves to fans as he heads onto the field before a game against the Seattle since those 2001 playoffs. Mariners on Monday.

Spot start no relief for depleted unit The Times Leader staff

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – When the New York Yankees traded for Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki on Monday, the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees took a hit. Already down to three starting pitchers, SWB was reduced to two on Monday as D.J. Mitchell was sent to the Mariners and had to be replaced as Monday’s starter against Gwinnett. Mike O’Connor started on three days rest for the Yankees, who were going for the eightgame season sweep of Gwinnett, but the lefty only lasted 31⁄3 innings allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks in a 10-6 loss to the Braves at Coolray Field. The Yankees, who fell into a first-place tie with Pawtucket in the International League North Division, got out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on Brandon Laird’s 10th home run of the season. But the lead was short-lived as Gwinnett tied it up at 1-1 in the bottom of the second then added runs in the next three innings. The Braves scored three in the third, two in the fourth and three more in the fifth to open a 10-4 lead. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored twice in the fifth to cut the lead to 6-3 on a two-run shot from Chris Dickerson, his second of the season. The Yankees scored three more in the top of the eighth as Corban Joseph doubled in a run to highlight the scoring. Former Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankee and Red Baron Eric Junge got the start for Gwinnett. He lasted five innings giving up five hits and three runs to pick up his sixth win of the season. Dickerson, Joseph and Gustavo Molina each had two hits for the Yankees in defeat. Six players had two hits for the G-Braves, paced by Felix Pie, who was 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in the fifth.

Season ends early for Back Mountain

Nanticoke defeats West Side for title

Section 5 champ is eliminated the losers bracket, the more arms by Dillsburg squad on second you have to throw.” Dillsburg used six pitchers on day of state tournament. Sunday, but just one Monday – By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

STROUDSBURG – As Back Mountain American exited the Stroudsburg Little League on Monday – eliminated from the Little League Major Baseball state tournament – manager Steve Mathers accentuated accomplishments. And there were plenty even after Dillsburg’s offense erupted and bumped off American 14-6 in the elimination bracket. Still, the end wasn’t easy. “It’s tough,” Mathers said. “For the last four summers I was fortunate enough to manage this team into late July, August. Four district titles, two section titles, two trips to states last year and this year. Not many kids can say they won a district title, let alone four. They are a great bunch of kids, a great bunch of ballplayers.” And a bunch that had the misfortune of Dillsburg, out of York County, finding its hitting groove after struggling in its state opener Sunday. Dillsburg had just two hits in a 14-0 loss to Warrick Township. The Section 7 champ had two hits after three batters on Monday. It finished with 16, including five in a five-run fifth inning to open a 14-4 lead. “Well, they certainly didn’t get here because they couldn’t hit the ball,” Mathers said. “Obviously, that’s kudos to Warrick’s pitchers. I’ve said it in the past, these tournaments are grueling on pitching. The further you go in

Trent Culver. The lefty mixed four different off-speed pitches with a fastball to keep American from bunching its hits together. A delay of about 45 minutes due to lightning didn’t derail him. American led once, 3-2, after two innings. J.D. Barrett had a solo homer in the first after Dillsburg struck twice in the top of the frame. Two more runs came across in the second, one on Carl Markowski’s RBI single and the other when David Schuster’s single was misplayed in the outfield. Christian Roberts added a solo homer in the fourth for American. Chris Hadsall had an RBI double and Barrett knocked in another with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Those runs, though, barely put a dent in the deficit as Dillsburg scored four times in the third and three times in the fourth before its big fifth inning.

LEWIS Continued from Page 1B

State’s numerous penalties is a four-year postseason ban that runs from 2012 to 2015. Scholarship reductions that will run through the length of his college stay may also affect the level of talent around him, especially in his later seasons with the Lions. Lewis Sr. said that the sanctions weren’t a surprise to him or his son. “We were not shocked. We were OK,” Lewis Sr. said of learning of the NCAA’s decisions. “We already knew it wasn’t going to be easy. And it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. “We were not shocked. Both of us are still excited about Penn State.” The NCAA also announced Monday that Penn State players would be free to transfer to another school and play right away rather than sitting out for a season because of the sanctions. That is an option that Lewis was considering on Monday, according to Keating. The coach said he had been contacted by roughly 12-15 other college programs from across the country Monday interested in recruiting Lewis to come to their programs. Because of the sanctions against Penn State, the NCAA has ruled that other schools are permitted to recruit players already on scholarship, provided they first give notice to Penn State. Despite the turmoil that struck the Lions in November,

Lewis had said in the past that he never seriously considered wavering from his verbal commitment to Penn State. He signed his letter of intent to play there without incident in February. Lewis Sr. said his son’s commitment has not changed. “He loves it. He loves Penn State,” Lewis Sr. said. “He just loves the university. He loves Happy Valley and he’s just enjoying himself. “Don’t get me wrong – he’s probably discouraged a little bit. But when it comes down to it, he looks at the big picture, not just the right now.” “But at the same time,” Keating said, “I feel for the fact that he probably wouldn’t get to play in a bowl game. That’s a big reason to go to play in college. “It’s just an unfortunate incident, and the kids are stuck in the middle of it.”

found by the Freeh Report to be involved in an institutionwide cover-up of Sandusky’s crimes. The four-year bowl ban Emmert handed down means incoming recruits from the 2012 class will have no opportunity to play in a postseason game unless they take a red-shirt season. He said he wants the school worrying about balancing its priorities, “Not whether or not Penn State is going

Horlacher wins state title Team comes home to play in the East Regional tourney this weekend in Old Forge.

Atlantic Region play, which begins Saturday in Old Forge. Horlacher’s first game will be against the New York representative Sunday at 3 p.m. Horlacher entered the bottom of the fifth inning trailing West Point 1-0. But Megan Straley lead off with a hit and Casey Coole followed with a walk. Quick then drove a ball to center field for a two-run double. It was all the runs Jones would need. She struck out 11 in six innings.

Straley finished the day 2 for 2, while Jones, Sara Kadurka, Quick and Faith Jones all had one hit. Bob Horlacher finished the state tournament with five wins, averaging 6.6 runs per game and allowing 2.0 per game. The team scored six or more runs in each of its first four state tournament games. Milton scored five runs against Horlacher in the semifinal, while Horlacher’s remaining opponents scored five runs total in four games.

were met with similar silence. An ESPN report said that “players were instructed within that meeting not to speak with members of the media.” A small handful of players took to the internet to address the punishments, which include a four-year postseason ban and a drastic reduction in scholarships. Most vocal was tight end Garry Gilliam, a projected starter for 2012, who wrote on his Twitter account that he would not be leaving Penn State. The NCAA has ruled that Penn State players will be able to transfer to other schools without penalty and can play immediately. Likewise, the Big Ten is waiving a restriction that prevented players from transferring within the conference and still receiving a scholarship. In a statement, the Penn State Football Letterman’s Club took issue with the NCAA President Mark Emmert’s assertion that a football-first culture at the school created an imbalance between athletics and academics, calling it “baseless and intellectually dishonest.” “It is with great pride that the members of our club know that we have done it the ‘right way’ for several decades,” the group said, “and we will not allow Dr. Emmert’s careless remarks to tarnish the legacy of Penn State football.” On campus and in downtown State College, students, alumni and local businesses reacted with frustration and anger -some of it directed at the NCAA and some of it directed at Penn State’s leadership. Terry and Teresa Kerestes, dressed in Penn State gear and visiting Terry’s alma mater while on vacation, stopped briefly by the big-screen TV at the HUB student union to watch coverage of the situation.

“I just feel it was it was a miss (by the NCAA),” Teresa Kerestes said. “It takes the focus off of the victims” of former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse of children. “I don’t see how this is going to help those children.” Terry Kerestes, who received his masters degree from Penn State, said the fate of the football program does not diminish his view of the school. “Nah, this is all just garbage,” Terry said with a wave of his hand toward the giant TV. “It doesn’t change how I feel about Penn State.” Students watching events unfold at the HUB had mixed feelings about the sanctions, acknowledging the need for them but questioning the severity. “I think it’s a very steep penalty and maybe not fair to punish the current players. Something had to be done, but these guys were like 4 years old when those things happened,” said Anthony Pesavento, a freshman from the Harrisburg area who described himself as a lifetime fan. “(Football) was definitely one of the reasons why I came here, but I came here for the education first and foremost.” Employees and managers of stores in State College did not wish to speak on the record, concerned how their opinions could affect their businesses. Generally, they were concerned how sanctions -- which will seriously damage the football team’s on-field success -- will affect interest in the team and trickle down to the local economy. Two such people also expressed their exhaustion of media coverage of the Sandusky scandal and its fallout since November and thought the NCAA was being hypocritical in its punishment of Penn State, choosing to make an example of the school to make a point. A group called Penn Staters

for Responsible Stewardship -which formed in the wake of indictments of Jerry Sandusky, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz in November -- issued strong criticism of the university’s Board of Trustees on Monday. In a statement, the group said it was most upset at use of the Freeh Report -- an independent investigation commissioned by Penn State that concluded that university leadership covered up reports of sexual abuse of children -- as definitive evidence against the school and the football program. "To rely upon such a report to issue punishment is beyond reckless, and should not be supported in any way by the leadership of Penn State," the group said. "By agreeing to these sanctions, every single member of the Penn State Board of Trustees has blatantly failed in their fiduciary responsibilities to the university. With each passing hour, we are gaining additional alumni support in our demand to have them resign immediately." One trustee, the newly elected Anthony Lubrano, however, said that the board was not consulted before the university agreed to the NCAA’s sanctions. “My view is that we rolled over and played dead,” Lubrano told USA Today. The consent decree that finalized the sanctions was signed only by Penn State President Rodney Erickson and Emmert. Another recent addition to the board, former Penn State football player Adam Taliaferro, was upset that the NCAA vacated Penn State’s wins from the past 14 seasons. Taliaferro played during that span, suffering a life-threatening spinal cord injury in a game in 2000. “NCAA says games didn’t exist,” Taliaferro posted on his Twitter account. “I got the metal plate in my neck to prove it. I almost died playing for PSU. Punishment or healing?”

to a bowl game.” Why would talented freshmen such as former Wyoming Valley West star receiver Eugene Lewis and Nyeem Wartman, a heavy-hitting linebacker from Valley View, stay at a place that’ll be reduced to relative obscurity for most of their careers? Why would starting quarterback Matt McGloin out of West Scranton spend his final college season driving the Nittany Lions down a road that’ll lead to a dead end? They couldn’t answer that immediately, muzzled by an edict from the coaching staff preventing current team mem-

bers from speaking about the sanctions. But they’re free to leave now, along with any other Penn State player feeling trapped by the penalties. The NCAA opened the cage and let all the Nittany Lions loose, allowing current team members the rare opportunity to transfer to another university and play immediately. It won’t be easy to find replacements. Penn State’s quota will be reduced from 85 scholarships to just 65 over the next four years, and the number of new scholarships to be awarded has been reduced by 10

each year. That means the Lions will lose 40 tremendously talented players. That’ll deplete the quality of the depth chart for at least eight years, because those missing scholarship spots will have to be filled by walk-ons. Nobody would blame O’Brien for walking out, although the new coach said he’s at Penn State for the long haul. But he didn’t sign up for $60 million Penn State must pay – equal to one year’s worth of revenue generated by the football program, according to Emmert -- or the five-year probationary

PSU fans will be Prouder at game Student’s call for positivity on Facebook has more than 4,000 supporters already. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE -- One Penn State student, surveying the damage to her school from her internship in Mexico City, decided to try to make an impact from 2,500 miles away. Four hours after the NCAA dropped the hammer on Penn State, Dani Lichliter took to Facebook to rally fellow students, alumni and fans into showing their support for the football team for the season opener on Sept. 1 against Ohio at Beaver Stadium. Titling the event “Louder and Prouder: 9/1/12,” Lichliter, a California native entering her senior year, asked people to “please use this event to share your love for Penn State. Share your favorite football memories and all the positive things that make this the only university you would ever want to attend. Please do not use this as a place to criticize the decisions of others, namely the NCAA, or to complain about what has happened.” By Monday evening, 4,000 people had already responded favorably to invitations to attend the event. “Penn State is my home and where I really grew up,” Lichliter wrote in an email. “I wanted to create an event that would be completely positive and full of Penn State love. ... “When I made the event, I sort of had an inkling that it would become extremely popular. Penn Staters love their school more than you could possibly imagine and finding ways to come together and

Paterno fallout On any other day in NCAA history, a new name atop the all-time college football wins list would be seismic news. On Monday, Joe Paterno’s fall from the No. 1 spot was almost a footnote in the string of penalties the NCAA imposed on Penn State football. The program was forced to vacate all wins from 1998-2011, giving Paterno 298 official victories instead of the Division I record 409 he had at the time of his firing in November. Late Grambling coach Eddie Robinson (408 wins) will regain the Division I crown, while Bobby Bowden, who retired from Florida State after the 2009 season, is again atop the list for major (FBS) programs. The decision prompted an outcry from the family of the former coach, who died in January, and sadness from people on campus. “They’re completely disregarding Joe and his whole legacy,” said Nate Fuentes, a Penn State freshman who attended State College High School. “They’re just taking everything from it. It’s like

N O T E S support it have proven themselves to be very beneficial in times like these. I hope that the event will be used to share positive memories and comments about Penn State because we are so much more than the few administrators that let us down. “We are so much more than the football program. We are 96,000 strong and they can’t take away the memories, the academics, the charity, and the people that make up Penn State.”

A sign and a small figure of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno hangs at Gate A of Beaver stadium on the Penn State University main campus in State College on Monday. The NCAA announced sanctions against the Penn State University football program on Monday as a result of the child sexual abuse case of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

piling on. He’s turning in his grave right now because they’re taking everything he stood for. “I know he did wrong. I know that. He should have done more. They’re taking everything away from him. I don’t think it’s fair.” Earlier this month, Paterno was judged to have been part of a cover-up by the Freeh Report, an investigation commissioned by Penn State to determine why allegations of child abuse went unreported by the school for years. In response, Paterno’s statue outside of Beaver Stadium was removed on Sunday morning. Other symbols of Paterno, however, remain on campus. Paterno Library, built with funding from the late coach and his wife Sue, will keep its name. And Penn State’s Creamery will continue to sell “Peachy Paterno” ice cream, donating proceeds from sales of the flavor to an organization that works with child abuse, according to The Associated Press. Another painful coincidence for Penn State fans -- in the view of the NCAA, the Nittany Lions’ last win now came on Nov. 22, 1997, against Wisconsin. The quarterback in that game was Mike McQueary, who would become a key wit-

ness against Sandusky and was the one to initially report allegations of abuse to Paterno in 2001. Legal concerns The Michael L. Buckner Law Firm, which follows collegiate and high school sports cases, again raised objections Monday to the NCAA’s decision to impose sanctions without following its typical process. “The NCAA’s actions, no matter how noble and justified to address the egregious behavior in the Penn State case, have charted an unprecedented course of action and created a ‘slippery slope’ for future incidents,” the firm said in a statement. The firm argued that the NCAA violated its bylaws by granting President Mark Emmert what amounted to emergency authority to punish Penn State in lieu of traditional enforcement procedures. “We are extremely concerned about the process the NCAA utilized to issue its sanctions,” the firm said. “We conclude (these) issues would be best left in the expert hands of the criminal and civil courts, the federal Departments of Justice and Education, the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the relevant accrediting agencies.”

It wasn’t so much shock as sympathy. Because while local high school coaches believe the NCAA was justified in handing down sanctions to Penn State, they’re concerned the wrong people were punished. “I don’t agree with hurting the current players,” said Hanover Area coach Ron Hummer, a longtime Penn State fan. “They’re punishing the wrong people, I think. I just can’t see how the NCAA can come in and say to the kids they’re being punished for something they didn’t do.” Along with a four-year bowl ban, Penn State suffered the loss of 20 scholarships per season over the next four years, along with a five-year probationary period among the sanctions handed down by the NCAA. And if such a scenario makes them reconsider playing for Penn State, current players will be allowed to transfer to other institutions without sitting out the normallymandatory one season as a penalty. “It’s extremely shocking,” Wyoming Valley West coach Pat Keating said. “It think it’s going to be at least a decade until they get back to where they want to be as a football program.” Those consequences were handed down by the NCAA on Monday for the school’s role – according the recently-released Freeh Report – in covering up the sexual abuse of young boys against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted of 45 charges last month. “They put the wood to Penn State,” said veteran Wyoming Valley Conference coach George Curry, who will return to Berwick this season. “They (Penn State leaders) blew it in this respect: you’re not dealing with a player violation, recruiting violation, you’re dealing with a child

molester here. “I think they deserve what they got.” Yet, some coaches believe the innocent kids currently playing football at Penn State – along with new head coach and former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and his staff – will be hurt most by the sanctions. “I’m a little surprised at the severity of the sanctions on the football program itself,” GAR coach Paul Wiedlich Jr. said. “It was more of an institutional problem. I feel bad for the kids who are there and the new coaching staff. They had nothing to do with what happened in the past.” Mostly, everyone’s more concerned with Penn State’s future. With incoming freshmen including linebacker Nyeem Wartman from Valley View and former Wyoming Valley West star Eugene Lewis facing the prospect of playing a whole college career without a bowl game, it’ll be interesting to see how many players remain at Penn State. “We’ve been texting a lot today. It’s been a really crazy day,” said Keating of his communication with Lewis. “A lot of coaches from universities all over the country have been contacting him, trying to see where he stands. He may know already. He may take a day or two to digest everything and make a decision from there.” Lewis’ father, the Rev. Eugene Lewis, told The Times Leader his son plans to honor his commitment to Penn State. Curry hopes they all do. “I just hope the players don’t leave,” Curry said. “They’re playing for a good coach and he’s an NFL guy. They can still win. They’ve got enough talent to tide them over. They’re not going to a bowl game. “But if they’re not going to a BCS game, there are kids who would rather be home for Christmas.”

Alumni displeased with sanctions Many state their support for Penn State and its football program via social media.

“If you remove those three or four people responsible, Penn State is a great place to play.”

MONTY SAYS

Dwayne Downing Former area HS coach

By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

Penn State football players may have been instructed not to speak with the media but the team’s alumni base expressed their displeasure Monday with the NCAA’s sanctions on the program. Several notable alums moved to social media to express their dismay with the decision. Adam Taliaferro took the news of vacated wins particularly hard. The former Nittany Lion cornerback suffered a paralyzing spinal cord injury during a game in 2000. Taliaferro said on his Twitter account, “NCAA says games didn’t exist..I got the metal plate in my neck to prove it did..I almost died playing 4 PSU..punishment or healing?!?” Former Bishop Hoban and Meyers football coach Dwayne Downing has been emotionally involved in the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal for the past eight months. Downing, who played for Joe Paterno as a defensive back on the 1986 national championship-winning team, said he still “feels horrible” about the abuse and knew severe punishment was on the horizon for the university. “My initial reaction was shock,” Downing said. “I knew something was certainly going to happen to the program. It was only inevitable something was going to be done. The NCAA sure did make a statement.” Citing the school’s athletic reputation, Downing – a 1988 Penn State graduate – said the past eight months serves as a “black eye on the program, not the university”. Younger football alumni were more vehement in their dissent.

Former Penn State defensive end and recent Minnesota Vikings signee Eric Latimore said on his Twitter account, “Oh and yea the 60+ million is goin to child abuse lol? Believe that right?” Devon Still, a recent Penn State graduate and Cincinnati Bengals second-round pick, said on his Twitter account, “Lost as to how taking away wins solves anything...especially wen the ppl being punished did nothing wrong.” Downing said that he thought the NCAA’s decision was too premature. “Let’s be honest here – in no way do we want to minimize what happened,” he prefaced. “It’s just disturbing to think about and it makes it hard to talk about some of these things. “But it would be nice to see all of the information before the sanctions was imposed. I’m not trying to make excuses – what he did was the most heinous crime imaginable.” Downing said that he thought the decision should have been made after athletic director Tim Curley and former school president Graham Spanier’s trial. “I understand making that call; I don’t want to say there is a rush to judgment,” Downing said. “It’s tough having the NCAA announcing that decision while two cases are still in court.” Downing and other football alumni are upset, he said, that Penn State student-athletes will be denied some athletic and academic opportunities. “It’s a little disheartening,” Downing said. “We feel bad for the kids; some of them were just

Chances are wasted in defeat

Tunkhannock’s Ryan Goodwin delivers to the plate during his team’s game against Milton in the Region 5 tournament Monday in Scranton.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Tunkhannock had plenty of chances during Monday’s Region 5 Tournament winner’s bracket final against Milton. It was capitalizing on the opportunities that gave Tunkhannock problems. The Wyoming Valley American Legion League runner-up had 14 baserunners during the game, but nine were left on base and three were erased on double plays in a 4-2 loss to Milton at Connell Park. “That team’s a great team. They deserved to win,” Tunkhannock manager Scott Zaner said. “We put the ball in play and they made the plays they had to make. I think we’re going to see them again. I feel confident. We got to take it one day at a time.” Tunkhannock (15-10) is still alive in the double-elimination event and now must win three games in two days to win its first regional championship. That quest begins today at 11 a.m. with a game against Towanda, the Bradford/Tioga League champion. Milton, the only unbeaten remaining in the event, plays Greater Pittston (18-6) today at 2:30 p.m. Even though Milton has already played GP in the event, the teams will meet today because the West Branch champion has already played the three remaining teams but GP was the first. Milton has to lose twice to not claim the regional title. Even if it

is defeated by Greater Pittston, Milton still moves into Wednesday’s championship game. “They’re all quality teams. Pittston is a Region 5 power for years so you know they’re good,” Milton manager Dave Byers said. “The best thing we got going is we can lose (today) and maybe save pitching where everybody else has to win. So that’s an advantage.” Milton (19-4) scored first in Monday’s game as Damian Moyer stole home in the top of the first for a 1-0 lead. Tunkhannock answered in the bottom of the second with Josh McClain scoring on a passed ball to even the score at 1-1. Tunkhannock had the bases loaded with one out, but after McClain scored three runners were stranded. That seemed to be a trend for Tunkhannock. After allowing two runs in the top of the third as Milton opened a 3-1 lead, Tunkhannock had the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth with no outs. However, a grounder back to the mound

ended in a double play to home and first; a strikeout ended the threat. Perhaps the biggest play for Tunkhannock came in the bottom of the seventh. Alex Zaner laced a one-out single to score Lance Sherry to cut Milton’s lead to 3-2. An error put Tunkhannock runners on second and third with one out. That’s when Ryan Goodwin hit a flyball to right. Milton’s Michael Jacobs made the catch and fired home to nab Jeremy Lee attempting to score the potential tying run for a double play. It was the second time in two games Jacobs gunned down a runner at home trying to score. “We probably were a little overzealous on that (play) but that’s baseball,” Zaner noted. “You take your shot and we just hurt ourselves having the bases loaded and not being able to get a run or two in and that took a little wind out of our sails.” Reynaldo Adames, Milton’s starter contributed to Tunkhannock’s lackadaisical offense by

making the right pitches when in trouble. The righty kept Tunkhannock off-balanced pitching eight innings only giving up five hits and 13 of the 24 outs he recorded didn’t leave the infield. Goodwin started the game for Tunkhannock and he pitched all nine innings. He was very effective striking out seven and didn’t walk anyone. He allowed eight hits, but didn’t get in too much trouble as the most batters he faced in an inning was five. But a day after piling up 14 hits and 12 runs, the team couldn’t muster too much against a tough Milton pitcher.

SCRANTON – The farther Greater Pittston gets into the American Legion Region 5 tournament, the more likely its bats were going to come alive. The Greater Pittston offense hit its stride in the third day of the tournament Monday, producing eight extra-base hits in a 17-3 victory over Green Ridge in seven innings. Greater Pittston advances to the fourth day of the doubleelimination tournament where it will face Milton at 2:30 p.m. at Connell Park in Scranton. The Wyoming Valley American Legion League champions took advantage of a thin Green Ridge pitching staff, and scored nine runs in the fourth inning off No. 3 starter Daniel Navoczynski and reliever Michael Miller. “I don’t want to take anything away from our kids but obviously the deeper you get into a pitching staff, the better you have a chance of whacking the ball,” Greater Pittston manager Drew Whyte said. “We whacked the ball.” Randy McDermott gave Greater Pittston a lead in the second when he blasted a grand slam over the right-field fence. McDermott finished the game with three hits, three runs, and seven RBI. The Wyoming Area alumnus and Flagler College sophomore was a triple away from a cycle. Greater Pittston’s Ron Musto

Irish QB Rees admits guilt, apologizes SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Quarterback Tommy Rees is apologizing to the police, Notre Dame and fans after pleading guilty to misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor. Reese issued a statement after entering his guilty pleas Monday. He says he accepts full responsibility for his actions May 3 when he was arrested outside an off-campus party in South Bend, Ind. Under a plea agreement, the 20-year-old junior quarterback will perform 50 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to police. He also received a 30-day suspended jail sentence and 11 months of probation. Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss one count of resisting law enforcement and a battery count. Reese says he’s dedicated to winning back the trust and confidence of the people he has disappointed. OLYMPICS

NEW YORK — NBC’s Bob Costas says he plans his own commemoration of Israelis killed during the Olympics in Munich 40 years ago, despite the refusal by Olympic authorities to do so during Friday’s opening ceremony from London. Costas told the Hollywood Reporter that he intends to note the International Olympic Committee’s decision when Israeli athletes enter the stadium Friday. He said many people find that denial more than puzzling but insensitive. Costas denied to talk about his plans in more detail, and an NBC Sports spokesman said Monday that production plans for the opening ceremony are still being finalized. Palestinian gunmen killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches during an attack on the Olympic village in 1972.

That Bounce Place, a family-owned business that has supplied indoor bounce houses for parties as well as walk-in visits, will reopen in Wilkes-Barre Township after the September 2011 flood wiped out its Edwardsville location.

Bouncing back at a new site WILKES-BARRE TWP. – One of the dozens of businesses displaced by the September flood is close to reopening, but in a location on the other side of the Susquehanna River. That Bounce Place, a family-owned business that has supplied indoor bounce houses for parties as well as walk-in visits since it opened in Edwardsville in 2010, saw its Mark Plaza building flooded in September. While company owner and Chief Executive Officer Larry Barnes, waited to see if the plaza would be repaired, he found a temporary location at the Merchants Village in Pittston Township since October. Finally, stores were notified by the Mark Plaza owner that the center would not reopen. So Barnes searched for a new home for his business and found one. Next month, That Bounce Place will

Not even McDonald’s Corp. has an iron stomach when it comes to the global economic downturn. The world’s largest hamburger chain has thrived in boom and bust times by selling cheap eats and constantly updating its menu with popular items such as fruit smoothies and snack wraps. But the company is starting to show signs of tear from global economic pressures, intensifying competition and penny-pinching customers who are eating out less often in some hard-hit regions around the world. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company said Monday that its net income fell 4 percent in the second quarter as a strong dollar took a hit on results. Like other U.S. companies, McDonald’s is being squeezed by unfavorable currency exchange rates. When the dollar is rising against the other world currencies, companies that do business internationally take a hit when converting local currencies back into the dollar. In the U.S., McDonald’s said sales rose 3.6 percent in the quarter, with increased traffic contributing to growth.

Screen protectors provide hands-on solution to touchy problem TOUCH-DISPLAYS have, without a doubt, become extremely commonplace. They’re utilized in almost every new phone and tablet, becoming increasingly common in desktop displays, and are even starting to make their way into TVs and remote controls. They’re far more intuitive and flexible than old-fashioned push-buttons, and can make better use of space. There are a few drawbacks to touchscreens: They’re more expensive than old-fashioned controls, they’re more fragile, and they’re harder to fix if and when something does go wrong – you usually wind up having to replace the entire device or display. But there’s another, more subtle

to the four bounce houses in the Merchants Village location, which has only one private party room. The flooding last year also pushed That Bounce Place into the party rental business. Now blow-up equipment can be rented out to customers who want to hold events at different locations, including their backyard. “We planned on going in the rental business, but the flooding quickened our entrance into that segment of the industry,” said Barnes. Barnes, of Nanticoke, anticipates more business with the larger location, and hopes this will make up for some of the lost revenue caused by the flooding. “People have been supportive in the past, and we appreciate that,” said Barnes. Despite the change of location, the telephone number has remained the same and its phones are already ringing off the hook with people asking about the opening and starting to make party reservations.

open at 925 Wilkes-Barre Township Blvd., in the former Grand Central store across from the Kmart on Route 309. Because of construction and the need for some building code inspections from Wilkes-Barre Township, there is no specific day set for the opening. Barnes said the construction part of the project is ahead of schedule. While the six-month period of inaction and lack of communication between the Mark Plaza owner and himself delayed the hunt for a new location, Barnes said the Route 309 location seemed to appear at just the right time. “The new location is better due to more traffic backup on Route 81. This gives That Bounce Place more exposure because of the now busier road,” said Barnes. This new building is slightly larger than the 11,600-square-foot Edwardsville location. It will have eight indoor bounce houses, three private party rooms and a video arcade, as opposed

NEW YORK — Apple is set to report financial results for the second quarter today. Analysts are expecting net income of $9.8 billion. But whatever figure Apple reports won’t reflect its true profit, because the company hides some of it with an unusual tax maneuver. Apple Inc., already the world’s most valuable company, understates its profits compared with other multinationals. It’s building up an overlooked asset in the form of billions of dollars, tucked away for tax bills it may never pay. Tax experts say the company could easily eliminate these phantom tax obligations. That would boost Apple’s profits for the past three years by as much $10.5 billion, according to calculations by The Associated Press. While investors might rejoice if Apple suddenly added $10.5 billion to its profits, unilaterally erasing a massive U.S. tax obligation could tarnish its reputation as a relatively responsible payer of U.S. taxes. Like other companies, Apple typically keeps profits on overseas sales in overseas accounts. Apple may pay some corporate income taxes on that profit to the country where it sells the iPad, but it minimizes these by using various accounting moves to shift profits to countries with low tax rates. For example the strategy known as “Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich,” routes profits through Irish and Dutch subsidiaries and then to the Caribbean. Where Apple does differ from other companies is that it sets aside a portion of these overseas profits, marking them as subject to U.S. taxes sometime in the future. Essentially, it’s saying “this is money that we’ll likely have to pay U.S. federal income taxes on” because we intend to repatriate it, says Willens.

Stocks have fallen for a second straight day amid fear that Spain’s government may need a bailout. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 101 to 12,721 at the close Monday. Yields for U.S. government bonds sank to record lows as traders sought the safety of American debt. Italy’s market watchdog on Monday imposed a week-long ban on the shortselling of financial stocks as the Milan index plunged amid fears that if Spain needs a bailout, Italy could be next. The main stock index, the FTSEMIB, closed 2.8 percent lower after being down by more than 5 percent in the morning.

Galaxy Tab and iPad tablet devices, the Natural View screen protectors cost $23. While that may seem a little on the steep side for a screen protector, given how much time I spend trying to keep my devices free of fingerprints and smudges, I think its well worth the price. The fact that it also protects the displays from scratches and other physical damage is an added bonus. It would be nice if 3M also offered the product for common models of smartphones, or perhaps in a variety of standard sizes. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could always cut down the existing tablet-sized protectors to fit a smartphone.

My rainfall total so far this summer is nearly 5" less than what fell to this date last summer. Other locations in our area have received a lot more rain this summer than others, like up in Wayne County where in the past 24 hours, just over 2" of rain fell. At my place: not a drop. Today, there is only a small chance of getting a shower. I think only about a 20 percent chance, which means that there is a 20 percent chance than any one location in the forecast area will get measurable rain. Tonight and tomorrow, I see a zero percent chance. The humidity will also drop signiﬁcantly by tomorrow. - Tom Clark

Help little cowpokes dodge diabetes duce the hormone insulin. Type 2 diabetes — a condition of insulin “resistance” — was mostly seen in adults who became older, heavier and less active. Today as children have become heavier and less active, more and more are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Genetics is partly responsible, says Kaufman. Moms and dads can pass on a genetic propensity for

There’s a global epidemic of type 2 diabetes occurring in children — a phenomenom that did not even exist 20 or 30 years ago, says diabetes expert Dr. Francine Kaufman. In the old days, a child diagnosed with diabetes most often had type 1 — an autoimmune disorder in which the body is unable to pro-

type 2 diabetes to their children. But even when family history loads the gun for diabetes, changes in lifestyle can keep the trigger from being pulled. Here are some ideas: Mommas, don’t let your pregnancies be complicated by excessive weight gain. Evidence is mounting that this can be a risk for type 2 diabetes even before a child is born. Breastfeed until at least 6 months of age. Breastfed babies have a lower risk for obesity as well as type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Daddies, do all you can to keep your kids active. Physical activity helps prevent excess weight gain and the “insulin resistance” that can lead to type 2 diabetes. Don’t let them gulp sodas and sugary drinks. Little bodies respond to big doses of liquid sugar with a robust insulin response, says Kaufman. Over time, this can put strain on the pancreas — the organ that makes insulin. Kaufman advises “no drinking sugar, including juice” for most children. If juice is

given to toddlers, it should be diluted with water. Let ’em eat salads and whole grains and fruit. You too, Mom and Dad. Because the stirrings of type 2 diabetes can start as early as pregnancy, it can hit kids much more aggressively than type 2 in adults. Reasonable eating and exercise habits started early in families can keep little cowpokes from becoming excessively heavy. And when kids dodge obesity, they are likely to dodge type 2 diabetes as well.

Many steroids cause adverse mental effects

Sheri Jacobs and her daughter, Jillian, 10, use an iPad as they relax on the couch at their home in Deerfield, Ill. Some doctors worry about light from electronic devices having a detrimental effect on sleep.

Blue-light devices may interfere with a good night’s rest

By MONICA ENG

Chicago Tribune

HICAGO - Like many of Americans, Amalie Drury has grown very attached to her smartphone. • The 33-year-old Chicago writer checks the device several times a day for Facebook updates and email messages. She brings it into

the bathroom when she brushes her teeth. And she often totes it to bed, “just to

check email one more time and play a few more rounds of Words With Friends.” If Drury wakes up in the middle of the night, she reaches for her phone again. “My first thought is to pick up the iPhone to see what’s happening in the news,” she said. “I’ll sometimes read long features and not really be able to go back to sleep.” Drury’s “terrible habits,” as she calls them, reflect those of millions who bring their phones, tablets, e-readers and laptops to bed each night, according to consumer research. The trend is causing increasing concern in the medical

community based on mounting evidence that the type of light produced by our portable electronic screens can contribute to sleep loss. Last month the American Medical Association issued a policy recognizing “that exposure to excessive light at night, including extended use of various electronic media, can disrupt sleep or exacerbate sleep disorders, especially in children and adolescents.” Any light at night can be disruptive, researchers say, but in re-

cent years studies have zeroed in on the particularly potent “blue light” emitted abundantly from the energy-efficient screens of smartphones and computers as well as many energy-saving fluorescent bulbs. Because blue light is especially prominent in daylight, our bodies associate it with daytime, which may be why exposure to blue light can make us more alert and improve our response times.

Q: My mother was prescribed prednisone for a bout of bronchitis, but it made her go crazy. She stayed up all night watching a shopping channel, spending more than $15,000. She’s never had any mental illness in the past. Why does this sort of thing happen? —P.C., Lima, Ohio A: Like a double-edged sword, steroids like prednisone are among the best and the worst drugs available. More than 10 million prescriptions for steroids like prednisone are filled each year. Psychiatric adverse effects like your mother experienced are not as rare as you might think. Two large studies which analyzed many past studies found that severe psychiatric reactions occur in nearly 6 percent of folks, and mild to moderate reactions can occur in Fortunately, approximately 28 percent of folks prein more than scribed steroids like 90 percent of prednisone. While some have attempted cases, the adverse reacto explain these psychiatric adverse eftion resolves fects to a prior history upon a taperof mental illness, the vast majority of those ed discontinuation of the affected had no such prior history. Resteroid. search suggests that the dose and duration of the steroid are much greater risk factors for a psychiatric adverse effect. Doses of prednisone above 40mg/day or methylprednisolone (Solumedrol) above 32mg/day greatly raise the risk of an adverse psychiatric event. Symptoms of steroid-induced psychiatric illness range from subtle mood changes, insomnia and memory deficits to frank mania, delusional behavior or depression. The exact cause isn’t clear, but it’s generally accepted that anything that affects the hormonal interplay between the hypothalamic, pituitary and adrenal glands can result in mood disorders. For example, syndromes involving excess (e.g. — Cushing’s syndrome may be associated with anxiety, euphoria and psychosis) or inadequate cortisol production (e.g. — Addison’s disease can produce fatigue, low energy and symptoms consistent with the vegetative symptoms of depression) can have psychiatric manifestations. Fortunately, in more than 90 percent of cases, the adverse reaction resolves upon a tapered discontinuation of the steroid. For those who do not tolerate steroid cessation and must remain on it, mood stabilizers (e.g., Prozac, Zoloft, and Depakote) and antipsychotic drugs (e.g., Seroquel) may be necessary.

Some medications can increase dehydration and interfere with the body’s ability to cool itself, she said. People taking seizure medication, antihistamines, blood pressure medication, neurologic or psychiatric medication or even those with Parkinson’s disease need to drink more water and watch for signs of dehydration.

so has been shown to suppress melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep and is not produced during the day. In May 2011, Swiss researchers at the University of Basel reported that subjects who spent time at night in front of an LED computer screen, as opposed to a screen emitting a variety of colors but little blue light, experienced “a significant suppression of the evening rise in endogenous melatonin and sleepiness.” Over the last decade, neuroscientists have discovered novel light-sensitive cells in the eye that detect light. These cells are separate from those we use for vision and contain a photopigment called melanopsin that is particularly sensitive to blue light. Scientists think this light-detecting mechanism, which regulates our sense of night and day and time of year, evolved before the ability to see. “Blue light preferentially alerts the brain, suppresses the melatonin and shifts your body clock all at the same time,” said Harvard Medical School sleep researcher

genetically much more sensitive than others to the effects of light exposure. “Some patients will watch TV and do computer work late at night and not suffer from insomnia or other problems,” he said. “But other people have what’s called hyperarousal. They can’t go to bed without reading email, and then they have a hard time shutting their mind off. Those are the patients for whom light exposure is having a greater impact and who are genetically more likely to be affected.” He also notes that electronic media exposure is rarely the sole culprit in sleep problems. “There are often many other

factors involved such as stress, anxiety and sometimes restless leg syndrome,” Avidan said. “So it’s hard to say that the electronics are purely at fault, but they certainly aren’t making things any better.” While it’s clear that light exposure can delay sleep initiation, it’s still unclear whether it can contribute to sleeplessness in the middle of the night. Also unclear are the exact light intensities that will trigger sleep disruption and whether adolescents respond to light exposure in the same way that adults do. The AMA and others have recommended further research into this still-young field.

program called f.lux — downloadable at stereopsis.com/flux — that reduces the levels of blue light coming from a computer screen later in the day. Many people who use electronic media in bed told the Chicago Tribune they had trouble sleeping or suffered from insomnia, but others felt that streaming a sitcom, reading an e-book (especially in white letters on a black screen) or perusing Facebook relaxed them and could even put them to sleep. Sheri Jacobs, who runs a marketing firm in Deerfield, is in the second group. Jacobs said she uses electronic devices mostly for entertainment and reading later in the evening, leaving email and other work-related tasks for the morning. “I’m a great sleeper, probably because I run in the early morning and I’m exhausted by bedtime,” Jacobs said. “I’ve heard about (concerns over electronic light at night) and so my approach has been to disconnect from the email at a certain point and use it for fun things like reading or watching videos.” Dr. Alon Avidan, who directs the Neurology Clinic at UCLA, recommends good sleep habits — bright days, dark nights — to everyone but says some people are

main generally quiet about the blue light issue — neither Barnes & Noble, which makes the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, nor Amazon, maker of the Kindle Fire, responded to requests for interviews — industry watchers and scientists confirm that some manufacturers are already developing new features to automatically modulate or remove blue light emissions at night. Representatives of Apple note that blue light emissions can be reduced on the iPad by adjusting brightness and switching to white on black mode at night through the “settings” feature. Other companies also are working on technical solutions. In 2005, after conducting early studies on the effects of blue light on sleep, researchers at John Carroll University in Ohio formed a spinoff company called Photonic Developments to market products that can mitigate blue light exposure. These include orange-tinted glasses, screen filters and bluelight-free bulbs, all sold at LowBlueLights.com. “We have many people talking about the problem,” said Richard Hansler, one of the scientists who developed the products, “but I’m surprised that so few have come up with solutions for it.” There is also a free computer

Steven Lockley. “Your brain is more alert now and thinks it’s daytime because we have evolved to only see bright light during the day.” Compounding the problem, Lockley and others said, is that unlike TV (which also emits blue light), these newer electronic screens are positioned close to our faces, increasing the intensity and effects of the blue light on our brains. “The closer you have a light source to the face, the more intense it is,” said Lockley, co-author of “Sleep: A Very Short Introduction.” “And the further you go away, it falls off quite quickly. So having things close to the face is much worse than having a TV that’s 10 feet away.” The researcher stressed that these types of screens are not all bad. When used during the day, they can help stabilize circadian rhythms and increase alertness and reaction time. Increasingly, however, consumers are using devices that emit blue light well into the night. A recent poll by Rosetta marketing consultants indicated that today almost 1 in 3 Americans who use the Internet own a tablet and that 68 percent of them report taking the device to bed. While tablet manufacturers re-

Placing child for adoption was the right thing to do for pregnant teen Dear Abby: I was glad to see the letter you printed from “Fine With My Decision” (April 22). I placed a baby boy for adoption when I was 16. My parents were bitterly disappointed and sent me out of state. But despite my somewhat immature and rebellious nature, I was — and remain — glad my parents made me do the right thing. In the years since, there has been a trend toward “open adoptions” and emotional reunions between birth mothers and adoptees who were separated under the “closed system.” I think open adoption is probably healthier for everyone except in cases of rape, incest or abuse/neglect.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE If the child I gave birth to were to come looking for me, I feel that’s his right and I wouldn’t turn him away. But I have never felt a desire to look for him. His birth was not a happy event in my life, and I don’t care to revisit that chapter. I don’t regard him as my son. The people who raised him are his parents, not the green kid who got herself in trouble. I’m somewhat younger than the girls who gave up babies from the 1940s to 1960s, so I didn’t get the “keep it a deep dark secret” advice. I also don’t feel I was unfairly coerced. I was 16 and couldn’t support a child.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

When I think of how my life would have been if I’d kept him, I’m sure I did the right thing. Thanks for writing, “Fine With My Decision.” You’ve got company in me, and I’m sure there are plenty more of us out there. — Fine With My Decision, Too Dear Fine Too: Your letter expresses the sentiments of many women who responded, as I knew they would. Their comments: Dear Abby: I’m an adoptee and while our situations are not the same, I can assure the woman who wrote you that she’s not a “freak.” I applaud her honesty and appreciate her willingness to give her child the chance to connect with biological relatives who

CRYPTOQUOTE

do want a relationship. The support groups she has encountered exist because people who regret their decisions need support. It’s not likely there would be groups for people who don’t feel that sense of regret. In my case, I was conceived because my birth parents wanted to make money. They were ahead of their time, shall we say, in terms of surrogate parenthood. I wish I could have met them, but both died long before I began my search. Achieving adulthood for me was the realization that no matter how we start out, in the long run, our lives are our responsibility. I hope “Fine” stops beating herself up and uses that energy to nurture the relationships she does have. — Rev. J. in New York

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The most important thing to accomplish today is a state of relaxation. Being relaxed, you’ll either do a job or not do a job, and everyone will feel good about it either way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The sky may be above you, but it is also inside you. With every breath you take, you intermingle your essence with the sky and exhale your interpretation of the universe. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone’s tendency to overshare makes you very sensitive to the pitfalls of revealing information that’s not useful to the situation at hand. You’ll strive for a healthy balance between honesty and tact. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll watch a problem from the sidelines and decide when and whether it would be right to intervene. Sooner would be better than later. Step in, give your two cents, and then get out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t see yourself as a guardian of truth who swoops down from on high to impart your wisdom to those who, without you, wouldn’t have a clue. Instead, you are learning along with everyone else — and loving the camaraderie. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In the same way that compost can help a garden immensely, anger in the right measurement can be a positive dynamic that leads to growth. How much of it exists and how it’s directed will be key.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your impulse to move is tempered by caution. He who hesitates may lose out, but that can be an extremely good thing if the thing you’re losing out on is a gigantic hassle. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to point out someone’s shortcoming. Luckily, you have a talent for putting a positive spin on things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People have a way of getting under your skin by refusing to act sensibly or thoughtfully. Make sure that you’re rested and that your needs are met, and you’ll be impervious to irritation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The limitations placed in your path by the outside world are the least difficult to get past. The hardest limitations to break through are the ones you impose on yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enlist help and take care of unfinished business. You won’t be able to do it all on your own. Physically, you are capable, but unless you involve others, you’ll get too bored with the process. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). All you’re trying to do is make sure the people around you are treated fairly and treat one another fairly, too. You will be the instigator of change. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 24). Dreams are the fuel that speed you through this year. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 49, 30 and 25.
