THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

>> LOVE OF LABOR: Today is Labor Day. And if you have the day off, you can thank a man named Maguire. Or McGuire. The holiday was first proposed in 1882, that much we know. But whether the idea came from Matthew Maguire, a New York labor official, or Peter McGuire, of the American Federation of Labor, is a bit hazy -- like London pea soup fog in the dark hazy. But 130 years later, the “who” isn’t as important as the “no work” thing. Enjoy the day. 6

NATIONAL LEAGUE

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2012

>> CONVENTIONAL LOGIC: Last week it was the Republicans’ turn. This week, the Democrats get their moment in the prime-time political sun. The Democratic National Con-

vention begins Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., and runs until Thursday. If you’re wondering what’s in store, take all the “OBAMA, FIRE. BAAAD!” speeches from the GOP shindig, and change them to “ROMNEY, FIRE. BAAAD!” Oh, and replace all the elephant balloons with donkey ones. And make sure the seven-second delay button works before Joe Biden says anything. >> FOOTBALL IS HERE: If you’ve been counting the days until the 2012 NFL season kicks off, you can thank President Obama that there’s one less. Because his nomination speech is set for Thursday, the NFL was nice enough to move up the season opener to Wednesday night. Yayyy, NFL! As has become tradition, last year’s Super Bowl champ gets to host the season’s first game. This year, that would be the New York Giants who welcome the Dallas Cowboys to East Rutherford. The game starts at 8:30 p.m. on NBC. >> STAND UP: It’s not often the television networks agree on anything -- unless it’s a common desire to inflict bad reality shows on an

unsuspecting public. But this Friday night, dozens of networks will get on the same wavelength (literally) to cooperate on something that will really help a lot of people. “Stand Up To Cancer” is a live fundraising special that will air at 8 p.m. on all the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) and a host of cable outlets. Viewers can donate by phone, text or online and, the producers promise, all money goes directly to the fight against cancer. Sounds like must-see TV. >> OUT THERE AND LOVING IT: You know that crazy uncle you don’t like to talk about? The one who still wears a Members Only jacket to weddings, is making a Noah’s Ark out of lint and once spent a weekend teaching Norwegian to a parrot? This Sunday, go and find that uncle and give him a big ol’ hug. Why? Because it’s “Wonderful Weirdoes Day,” silly. It’s a day to appreciate those among us who scoff at being normal, who think outside the box of sanity, who march to a different trombonist, or wear socks on their ears. Or are named Kardashian.

morning, September 1, 2012 at Geisinger Community Medical Center, Scranton, with her son by her side.

She served as mayor of Duryea for 16 months, fulfilling her husband’s term as mayor following his death in 1980. Her most fond memory as mayor was addressing the crowd and throwing out the first pitch during the opening ceremonies of the 1981 Duryea Little League season. She enjoyed taking day trips to state parks, sporting events, museums and many other points of interest. But above all, she loved attending church services and the loving company of her family and friends. She often said that if a person has good health, faith, family and friends they really don’t need much of anything else. Agnes was a stay-at-home mom who loved her children, cooking and keeping her home and family in order. Her passion for cooking will be remembered, especially for her piggies, pot roast and homemade soups. Agnes enjoyed taking walks in her neighborhood, always stopping to talk with her friends and the neighborhood children whom she loved as if they were her own.

Ryan Wasko of Swoyersville holds a Madagascar cockroach at the insect presentation held Saturday at the Frances Slocum State Park Amphitheater.

Pest control: Insects don’t bug kids By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON TWP. -- Thirteenyear-old Ryan Wasko of Swoyersville remained calm when a hissing cockroach was placed in the palm of his hand Saturday at Frances Slocum State Park. “That’s amazing,” said his mom, Barbara. “He doesn’t even like bugs.” The roach, which is from the island of Madagascar, and about the size of a Matchbox toy car, is a “teenager,” said Kathy Kelchner, park naturalist. Kelchner wowed Wasko and a large group of kids and their parents with fascinating facts about

bugs during the spirited, interactive program in the park’s campground amphitheater. Drawing a simple diagram of an insect on a large, wipe-off board, she pointed out each body part and its purpose. Kelchner described the life cycle of the cicada, which look like “giant, clumsy flies,” and noted the males’ abdomens act as a sounding chamber, which can make their calls heard a quarter of a mile away. She gave each attendee an exoskeleton from a cicada to hold. “Don’t be afraid, it’s like holding a giant Rice Krispie,” she said. When asked if they remembered to bring a skeleton to the

event, the children shook their heads. “Of course you did!” Kelchner yelled out. “Otherwise, you’d be oozing off those benches!” In addition to exotic mounted insects from around the world, Kelchner had on hand hundreds of insects she collected in 1994 from the woods surrounding the park. Her favorite is an iridescent blue and green caterpillar hunter beetle. “I’m very fond of beetles,” she said. Kelchner said insects perform many valuable functions in the planet’s ecosystem, from pollinating plants and controlling plant pests to being food for other creatures.

Fright flick leads new film releases The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The fright flick “The Possession” has scared up a No. 1 debut with $17.7 million from Friday to Sunday over the long Labor Day weekend. The Lionsgate release led the last weekend of a fairly quiet season for Hollywood, with attendance down 4 percent from summer 2011, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Opening in second-place with $9.7 million was the Weinstein Co. bootlegging drama “Lawless,” starring Shia LaBeouf. “The Expendables 2” pulled in $8.8 million, falling to No. 3 after two weekends as the top draw at theaters. Expanding to more theaters, the anti-Barack Obama documentary “2016: Obama’s America” added to its haul as a surprise mini-hit leading up the presidential election. “Obama’s America” was No. 9 with $5.1 million, raising its domestic total to $18.3 million.

WILKES-BARRE – The long-ago friendship between a priest and a president built upon a respect for laborers will be celebrated Saturday. President Theodore Roosevelt and Monsignor John J. Curran first bonded in 1902 when they worked together to end a bitter strike in the anthracite coal industry. Their friendship continued for years, and Roosevelt was a frequent visitor to Wilkes-Barre and to Holy Saviour Church in East End – now part of St. Andre Bessette Parish. The parish will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Roosevelt’s 1912 launch of the Progressive or “Bull

Moose” Party by holding a Big Band Dinner Dance on Saturday in the parish’s Monsignor Curran Hall. John McKeown, a local Irish historian and parish member who lives in East End, said Roosevelt chose to kick off his 1912 Bull Moose Party bid for re-election at Holy Saviour Church. A Mass was held at the church and Roosevelt led a parade to the River Common, where he was met by a crowd of 10,000. Roosevelt lost his bid as an independent. He was vice president to President William McKinley, who was assassinated in September 1901. Roosevelt then won a full term of his own in 1904. “They had quite a friendship,” McKeown said. A1902 painting done by Nicholas Cortiglia shows President Roosevelt, known as TR, Bishop Michael J. Hoban and Curran. The priests wanted Roosevelt to intervene in a bitter strike by anthracite

famed labor leader. His efforts went unheeded, so he and Hoban traveled to the White House to ask for a meeting with Roosevelt. Of his friendship with Curran, Roosevelt wrote in his autobiography: “The man in Wilkes-Barre who helped me the most was Father Curran. I grew to know and trust and believe in him, and throughout my term in office and afterward, he was not only my staunch friend, but one of the men by whose advice and counsel I profited most in matters affecting the welfare of miners and their families.” Roosevelt later wrote in letters to Curran: “No man has ever had a stauncher friend than you have been to me. You have supported me in every way. There is no friend in whose friendship I take greater pride than yours.” Roosevelt died in 1919 at the age of 60; Curran died in 1936 at the age of 77.

NEWPORT TWP. -- More than 300 motorcyclists from throughout the area came out to support the 11th Annual Valley with a Heart on Sunday to support local children with serious illness. The bikers set out from the Holy Family Grove in Sheatown after an early-morning registration and breakfast. This year’s poster children for the event were Riley Schmidt, 2, of Hanover Township; Emilee Hillard, 10, of Sweet Valley; and Jacob Maniscaco, no age or town given. Valley with a Heart was formed in 2001 by Rick Terementz of Wapwallopen as a way to raise money for 11-year-old cancer patient Elsie Harrison of Plymouth Township. Elsie lost her battle with cancer, but Terementz was inspired by her fight with the disease to make the benefit a yearly event. “It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that you’re actually having an impact in these children’s lives,” said Nancy Heck, a member of Valley with a Heart since its inception. “All the hard work definitely pays off. As long as Rick needs me, I’ll be right here.” She said the group has supported local children and their families by providing funding for gas, mortgage payments, food, utilities and expenses incidental to mounting medical costs. “We’ve even built room additions for our poster children,” said Heck. Heck said the organization has raised more than $300,000 so far in 2012, and it is on pace to exceed last year’s fundraising toSee RIDE, Page 10A

Failure to sign new ethics code form brings email to workers, unions LUZERNE COUNTY’S human resources department sent an email memo to all employees and union leadership last week after an unspecified number failed to sign a form agreeing to comply with the new ethics code. Some employees didn’t sign because of concerns that yet-to-be-approved penalties will contradict punishment procedures in union contracts. Lawyers and court employees also have questioned the need to sign when they already follow other codes or rules of professional conduct, officials said.

JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES LUZERNE COUNTY BEAT The code, which was adopted by council, says the signatures are required as a condition of employment. The recent memo to employees says the county administration doesn’t have authority to change or agree to proposed changes to the code. The county Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission, known as ACE, is in the process of submitting suggested code changes to council, the memo says.

“Therefore, any questions, comments or issues that the union has regarding the code may be directed to the ACE Commission or directly to Luzerne County Council,” the memo says. • County council voted last week to appoint four citizens to the Forty Fort Airport Advisory Board, which oversees the Wyoming Valley Airport: Allan M. Kluger, Robert C. Snyder, Veronica Ciaruffoli and Daniel Fierman. • A proposed skate/bike park on Water Street in Wilkes-Barre isn’t feasible for the county at this time because it would cost an estimated $100,000 to $250,000 to construct and another $15,000 to $25,000 in annual operating

expenses, county Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons told county council last week. Gibbons suggested the possible creation of a recreation advisory to discuss grants and private funding options for current and proposed recreational facilities throughout the county. Council’s new authorities/boards/ commissions committee will discuss that option. The proposed park came up because skaters and bikers are damaging the River Common and UGI Penn Natural Gas Inc. is looking for a non-construction reuse for a 3.3-acre vacant lot on Water Street near the courthouse.

HAZLETON -- Police on Sunday identified the man shot dead over the weekend on a city street and released a description of the suspect in the homicide.

The festival will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. section of the county website, www.luzernecounty.org, under the Aug. 28 meeting attachments. • County council’s newly adopted bylaws also are posted on the website. Council members Stephen A. Urban, Stephen J. Urban and Rick Morelli voted against the bylaws Tuesday after raising concerns about some of the restrictions. • Councilman Rick Williams asked Gibbons for an update on parking around the courthouse during Tuesday’s meeting, particularly whether more public access is in the works. The administration is reviewing options and will switch more employees to the county’s parkade on Water Street to free up space for the public. The county can’t use an upper lot across from the courthouse on River Street because it was leased to King’s College in 2003. The college is paying a total $100,000 for the first 10 years, or through 2013, with the option to renew. • Councilman Jim Bobeck pointed out the need to address “a light that never goes out” in

The final phase: restoration of courtroom paintings. • Plans are in the works to start holding council meetings in the former commissioners’ meeting room on the first floor of the courthouse. Council members have been meeting in the Emergency Management Agency building on Water Street, but several county officials have expressed an interest in returning to the courthouse. A design plan has been completed to remove the elevated seating area for the previous three-commissioner government, which will allow space for the 11 part-time council members. Gibbons said the work should be completed by Nov. 3.

Obama aides avoid ‘4 years’ question

When asked if Americans better off than four years ago, aides sidestep query. By DAVID ESPO and BEN FELLER Associated Press

In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, Xiong Yi is led from a plane under police escort in Wuhan, Hubei Province, early Sunday. Chinese police on Saturday caught the 29year-old man suspected of phoning an airport with a false bomb threat that grounded a domestic flight Thursday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Flinching in the face of economic weakness, President Barack Obama’s top aides refused to say Sunday in the run-up to the Democratic National Convention if Americans are better off than they were four years ago. Obama campaigned in Colorado and Vice President Joe Biden in Pennsylvania as their senior surrogates sought to de-

flect discomforting questions and turn them into criticism of Republican challenger Mitt Romney. “The Romney path would be the wrong path for the middle class, the wrong path for this country,” said David Plouffe, one of Obama’s top White House aides. But responding to the question that has become a staple of presidential campaigns, he sidestepped when asked if Americans are better off than when Obama took office. “We’ve clearly improved ... from the depths of the recession,” he said. Planeloads of delegates flew into their convention city for two days of receptions before

their first meeting in the Time Warner Cable Arena on Tuesday. Hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets around the hall, protesting what they call corporate greed as well as U.S. drone strikes overseas said to kill children as well as terrorists. Biden, campaigning in York, Pa., hit Romney on foreign policy. “He said it was a mistake to end the war in Iraq and bring all of our warriors home,” the vice president said. “He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home.

a co-worker Friday died from single gunshot wounds. Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan says autopsies were performed Saturday on 18-year-old Cristina LoBrutto and 24-year-old Bryan Breen. They were gunned down early Friday at a Pathmark store in Old Bridge Township by 23-year-old Terence Tyler, who committed suicide by shooting himself once in the head with a handgun. All three were pronounced dead at the scene. About a dozen other workers who were in the store were able to escape the shooting and were not hurt. It’s still not clear what sparked the shootings. Authorities are investigating his motive, but family members said Tyler — who once tweeted about killing “everyone I see” — was discharged from the Marines two years ago after suffering from depression and had never gotten over his mother’s death about five years ago.

Quran burning a setup? A Muslim cleric is accused of stashing pages of a Quran in a Christian girl’s bag to make it seem like she burned the Islamic holy book, a surprising twist in a case that caused an international outcry over the country’s strict blasphemy laws. Pakistani police arrested Khalid Chishti late Saturday after a member of the cleric’s mosque accused the imam of planting evidence as a way to push the Christians out of the neighborhood. Chishti denied the charges Sunday while being led to court in shackles, wearing a white blindfold. The imam’s arrest could release the girl, who supporters say is mentally handicapped, out of prison, where she faces a life sentence if convicted of charges she desecrated the Quran. A bail hearing is scheduled for today. KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

16,000 recruits rescreened American special operations forces have suspended the training of new recruits to an Afghan village militia until the entire 16,000-member force can be rescreened for possible links to the insurgency, U.S. officials said Sunday. The training halt is the latest repercussion stemming from a series of "insider" shootings carried out by members of the Afghan police and army against Western troops. Forty-five NATO service members have been killed in such attacks this year, and the U.S. toll in August alone was 12 dead. GAP YEONG, SOUTH KOREA

He was 92. Moon died early today local time at a church-owned hospital near his home in Gapyeong, northeast of Seoul, two weeks after being hospitalized with pneumonia, Unification Church spokesman Ahn Ho-yeul told The Associated Press. His church gained fame — and notoriety — in the 1970s and 1980s for holding mass weddings of thousands of followers, often from different countries, whom Moon matched up in a bid to build a multicultural religious world.

Isaac’s woes remain Flooding and power outages still plague region

By CAIN BURDEAU and KEVIN McGILL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Much of Plaquemines Parish was still covered with floodwater Sunday and more than 200,000 people across Louisiana still didn’t have any power, five days after Isaac ravaged the state. Thousands of evacuees remained at shelters or bunked with friends or relatives. “My family is split up,” said Angela Serpas, from severely flooded Braithwaite. Serpas and her daughter were staying with her in-laws while her husband and son were staying in Belle Chasse, a suburban area of the parish. “This is the second time we’ve lost our home. We lost it in Katrina,” she said. At least seven people were killed in the storm in the U.S. — five in Louisiana and two in Mississippi. President Barack Obama was to visit Louisiana today, ahead of the Democratic convention. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited the state Friday. Progress was evident in many places. Workers continued their return to offshore oil and gas production platforms and drilling rigs, electricity came on for hundreds of thousands of people and the annual Southern Decadence Festival, a gay pride celebration, carried on in the French Quarter. There were also signs of a slow recovery. Workers continued to deal with toppled trees and downed power lines, driving remained hazardous in areas without working traffic lights, and New Orleans opened two cooling shelters so

those with no electricity could escape the heat. Much of Plaquemines Parish, a vulnerable finger of land that juts into the Gulf of Mexico southeast of New Orleans, remained under as much as 5 feet of water, Parish President Billy Nungesser said. The Category 1 hurricane walloped the parish, and for many, the damage was worse than Katrina in 2005. Suburban communities farther north also had problems. Near Lake Pontchartrain, St. Tammany Parish officials kept

watch over potential trouble spots along Isaac-swollen waterways. In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant reported 125,000 people were evacuated, though most returned home Sunday. Less than 100 people remained in shelters. Bryant said 924 people had to be rescued during Isaac. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano met with Mississippi emergency officials and Bryant at a fire station in Bay St. Louis, Miss., and was scheduled to make a stop in Louisiana later in the day.

BEIRUT — Activist groups said Sunday that about 5,000 people were killed in Syria’s civil war in August, the highest figure ever reported in more than 17 months of fighting as President Bashar Assad’s regime unleashed crushing air power against the revolt for the first time. The U.N. children’s fund UNICEF put the death toll for last week alone at 1,600, the largest weekly figure for the entire uprising. “The past month witnessed large massacres and the regime was conducting wide operations to try to crush the uprising,” said Omar Idilbi, a Cairo-based activist with the Local Coordination Committees group. “Last month’s acts of violence were unprecedented.” He said the increased use of the air force and artillery bombardments was behind the spike in casualties. The civil war witnessed a major turning point in August when Assad’s forces began widely using air power for the first time to try to put down the revolt. The fighting also reached Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, which had been relatively quiet for most of the uprising. The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that 5,440 people, including 4,114 civilians were killed in August. The LCC put the toll at 4,933 civilians. On Sunday, the Observatory and the LCC said more than 100 people were killed throughout Syria and the groups have been reporting 100-250 deaths per day over the past week. Syria’s uprising has been the bloodiest in the Arab Spring that has already removed long-serving authoritarian leaders in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya. The two main activists groups also released new death tolls for the entire uprising since March 2011. The Observatory said more than 26,000 have been killed, including more than 18,500 civilians. The LCC put the death toll at more than 23,000 civilians. The LCC does not count members of the military who are killed, but the Observatory does.

Many hurdles ahead at PSU as new era starts Football may be least of concerns for Penn State. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s first football game of the season was a milestone for the university as it struggles to move past the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. Fallout from the case will remain a major challenge for the

university for years to come, starting when the national spotlight returns as Sandusky is sentenced. The criminal case in which two university administrators faces charges they did not report suspected child abuse and then lied to the grand jury about it, recently had jury selection set for Jan. 7. The attorney general’s office has said a grand jury investigation remains active, and could produce other charges.

Two people have sued Penn State, a third has filed court paperwork indicating a civil complaint is being prepared, and several other lawyers have indicated they represent potential litigants. Penn State has signaled its interest in settling claims with Sandusky’s victims, but no one knows how long the civil side will take to play itself out. The decisions made by Penn State trustees have generated

considerable animosity and the board faces a lot of work in mending fences. So far the school’s fundraising apparatus has not suffered, but some major donors are clearly upset at how former football coach Joe Paterno was treated, and by acquiescence to the NCAA sanctions. If they start to pull their support, that AP PHOTO could do more to change the direction of the institution than A PSU football helmet sits on the sidelines Saturday. anything else.

States stepping up voter ID efforts before election Lawsuits are casting doubt on what the rules will even be on Election Day.

By JAKE GROVUM Stateline.org (MCT)

WASHINGTON -- Tennessee has held town halls in each of the state’s 95 counties and instituted special voter ID-only hours in motor vehicle offices. Wisconsin has revamped its training scheme for 1,800 local elections managers. Pennsylvania has unveiled a new, streamlined voter ID card. Those are among the many steps states have taken to prepare for November’s elections under a host of new or stricter voter identification laws enacted around the country since 2010, even as challenges to those same laws continue to wind through the courts. The suits mostly claim that voter ID discriminates

against the poor and minorities who are less likely to carry the needed identification. In some states, lawsuits are casting doubt on what the rules will even be on Election Day. For the past two years, public attention has focused mostly on the question of whether voter ID is a legitimate weapon against voter fraud or a Republican stratagem aimed at suppressing minority turnout and helping GOP candidates win more contests. For those in charge of administering the election, however, the central issue is not the intent of the laws. It is how to make the system run smoothly. More than 30 states now have some form of law requiring voters to show identification at the polling place. But with Nov. 6 barely two months away, those with new laws face a daunting task: Implementing massive, controversial election law chang-

es ahead of a hotly contested, high-turnout presidential election. As R. Doug Lewis, head of the National Association of Election Officials, puts it, any significant procedural changes are a challenge before a presidential election. The complexity and controversial nature of voter ID, he says, is only complicating matters this year. Most states say they’re well prepared, and indeed some have had nearly two years to get ready. But many still voice concerns about how the new laws and lingering uncertainty will play come Election Day. Inconsistency in staff training or Voter ID law enforcement around the country is just one worry. The preparation of the needed ID documents is another. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. “Certainly when you get this

CLICK: VALLEY WITH A HEART

close to an election, chances are there are going to be mistakes that are made,” said Michael McDonald, an elections expert at George Mason University. “Probably a presidential election is not the best time to roll out a new election law.” One of the more daunting and high-profile tasks for states with voter ID laws involves making changes far in advance of Election Day. They have to arrange to get IDs to those who need them and foot the bill for those who can’t afford them. For some, that’s meant outreach, offering free IDs and imposing extra hours on motor vehicle offices. Tennessee created separate processing lanes for those needing just an ID to vote, a response to increases in demand and wait times. Others have seen little change. Wisconsin, for example, issued barely more than 8,000 additional IDs in the year

after its law was passed, compared to the previous year. In fact, few states with new Voter ID laws report huge influxes in demand for IDs so far, even amid the outreach and media attention. That has some worried about a spike in demand as Election Day nears. But officials say they have contingency plans ready if that happens. With that in mind, too, some states have looked to ease the IDissuing process. After facing a lawsuit centered on difficulties some faced in gaining IDs, Pennsylvania created a new ID card designed just for voting. Residents can apply without a birth certificate or Social Security card, a change that significantly streamlines the process. To receive the ID, residents must provide their name, address, Social Security number and some proof of residence (which can include someone else vouching for the

applicant). Still, outreach and publicity remain concerns, and some see lagging demand as a sign that eligible voters aren’t getting the message. That has led states to consider renewed outreach efforts this fall, on top of campaigns that started soon after the laws were enacted. Many legislatures also have provided additional funding for outreach. Wisconsin has spent nearly $2 million, part of which included hiring a voter photo ID elections specialist. But most states say they’re satisfied with their outreach efforts, and that their voters are prepared. Mark Goins, Tennessee’s coordinator of elections, said his state’s publicity tour was a significant undertaking, and largely a success. He personally did 30 town halls, and his office designated staffers to reach out to certain groups: young voters, for example, and the disabled.

WORLD OPINION

Romney’s view on China risks Sino-U.S. relations

Y ANY STANDARD, the U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s China policy, as outlined on his official campaign website, is an outdated manifestation of a Cold War mentality. It endorses the “China threat” theory and focuses on containing China’s rise in the Asia-Pacific through bolstering the robust U.S. military presence. And by stating that the United States “should be coordinating with Taiwan to determine its military needs and supplying them with adequate aircraft and other military platforms,” the Republican challenger also has gone so far as to provoke China over its sovereignty of the island. True, politicians tend to go back on their words after being elected, and it has become usual

for U.S. politicians to play the China card in an election year. But Romney’s stance on China is still worrying, as it could poison the friendly atmosphere necessary to develop Sino-U.S. relations. As China and the United States both have a stake in peace and stability in the AsiaPacific region, any responsible politician would refrain from making recommendations that might turn the two countries into rivals, rather than partners. It requires political vision as well as profound knowledge of Sino-U.S. relations as a whole, to make sensible policy recommendations about what are widely recognized as the most important bilateral ties in the world. Romney apparently lacks both. China Daily, Beijing

Make Paralympics safer

HE 2012 SUMMER Paralympics, in London, are at risk of straying from their noble origins forged in the very same city more than six decades ago. Ludwig Guttmann, keen to showcase the rehabilitation of soldiers after the Second World War, organized the precursor to the Paralympics – a multisport competition between hospitals to coincide with the 1948 London Games. Although the practice is banned, it’s common for Paralympians with spinal cord injuries to break their toes or even be jabbed with sharp needles in an effort to increase their blood pressure and improve athletic performance. Dr. Andrei Krassioukov, a Vancouver researcher, esti-

mates about 30 percent of athletes at the London Paralympics could be involved in the nasty practice. Krassioukov has been working with the competitors for more than three decades and says that cardiovascular abilities must be added to the Paralympics’ system for classifying athletes. Otherwise, he said, competitors are at risk of lifethreatening strokes or brain aneurysms. As well, if a ranking for cardiovascular abilities is added, athletes would be competing against others who perform at the same level as them, notes the doctor. It’s a common-sense solution that ensures athletes’ safety and dignity. Calgary Herald

To the moon and back

HETHER YOU were a wide-eyed 5-year-old, a selfabsorbed teenager or world-wise adult, you’ll likely never forget the moment. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder outside the lunar module, and with a little jump, became the first person to set foot on the moon. Some 600 million people – a fifth of the world’s population – watched or listened to the moon landing, the largest audience for any single event in history. Describing his impressions,

Editorial Board

Armstrong said: “It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” That dichotomy – man’s ability to use knowledge and technology to achieve unbelievable accomplishments while at the same time realizing that we really still don’t know very much about anything – might be the ultimate lesson that Armstrong leaves us with. That, and the need to dream. The Jerusalem Post

was pleased to see that Democratic nominee for Congress Matt Cartwright has endorsed marriage equality. This common-sense, yet still courageous, stance serves as a reminder for voters in the 17th District that basic equality is not a controversial issue. In fact, support for marriage equality is increasingly common among Democratic leaders, from the president and vice president of the United States to the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. Recent polling by Harris Interactive demonstrates that gay marriage is no longer a political wedge issue, and recent polling from a variety of sources has demonstrated majority support for marriage equality. Cartwright’s leadership as an independent thinker, an intelligent attorney and a savvy mind is reason enough to give him our votes – but his support for marriage equality solidifies him as the only candidate running in this race who believes that LGBT people deserve equal treatment under the law. But not every Pennsylvania Democrat has shown the same courage. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. still clings to the separatebut-equal politics of the past, espousing support for unequal civil unions and lagging behind many of his peers in the Senate Democratic Caucus, 23 to be exact, who already have endorsed marriage equality. Casey should follow the lead of Cartwright, former Gov. Ed Rendell, Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, party Chairman Jim Burn and the majority of Pennsylvanians. Hats off to Matt Cartwright for standing up for what he believes in! Adrian Shanker President, Equality Pennsylvania Bethlehem

President ducks record, takes swings at Romney

resident Obama has no positives to sell as being his strong points or accomplishments, thus he must attack Gov. Mitt Romney in a way to lessen the governor’s favorable showing with the public. I say, audacity! Perhaps we should remind this president that it was he who initially refused to provide his birth records for all to see. It was he, Mr. Obama, who had his records at Harvard and Columbia universities sealed. Why? And he now has the audacity to say to Gov. Romney “prove it.” The man is running scared due to his pathetic record. Recently in Bethlehem, all first lady Michelle Obama had to say about his ac-

complishments was that “he got rid of bin Laden.” That is a blatant lie. The plan for that Special Forces/SEAL operation was in play well before Obama was elected. Such temerity, indeed! America needs better than this charlatan. I ask Americans to question their sanity in believing the rubbish coming forth from the Oval Office in Washington. Surely we’re more intelligent than that. Winston Hall White Haven

Obama’s swift spending adds up to big trouble

resident Obama spent an average of $9.7 billion a day in his first term in office. Our debt is now $16 trillion. He has not made a budget since he’s been in office. He took $716 billion out of Medicare to put into “Obamacare.” He wants to tax millionaires more. After he spends that, guess what? It will be “tax the middle class.” Oh, guess what? There’s already a bunch of taxes in the “Obamacare” bill that we will pay. Remember he said when he ran, “no taxes on the middle class.” Are you better off than four years ago? Theresa Morris Dallas

Veteran urges voters not to stand on sidelines

his 20-year Air Force and Vietnam veteran feels he must try to reply to the letter to the editor (Aug. 17) stating that the right was building hatred for President Obama. First, the writer immediately likened the right’s actions to Hitler’s method of picking on the Jews as scapegoats for all of Germany’s problems in order to generate emotional hatred to motivate his base support. Really? (Like the left isn’t generating emotional hatred to motivate its base with visions of Paul Ryan throwing grandma over the cliff. Or, how Obama has tried to create hate for the rich – as if being successful is somehow un-American.) No. I was born in a Democratic and union family and was a registered Democrat for a good portion of my life. So what is it that makes me want to vote for the Mitt Rom-

DOONESBURY

ney/Paul Ryan ticket? It’s the president’s record – the fact that he promised to unite the country and has only managed to divide it. It’s his failure to keep his promise to have the most open administration. It’s his failure to save the economy and instead create $16 trillion in debt. It’s the fact that when he had control of both the House and the Senate, he never passed a budget and squandered that time to pass “Obamacare,” a controversial and unwanted bill. As a military retiree who is on Social Security, who loves his country more than life itself, I beg my fellow Americans not to vote for a party. Vote for what is good for America. In this situation, it is to save America and the Constitution from those who are harming it. Don’t stay home this election cycle; get out and vote for what is good for America. James J.

Resident refutes attacks on W-B Twp. race efforts

his is in response to the letter “Writer says W-B Twp. failed to support climb” (Aug. 16), in which Joe Naperkowski wrote: “Wilkes-Barre Township Mayor Carl Kuren’s administration seemingly has done nothing to help, or participate in a partnership with, Laurel Run and the Danko family regarding the Giants Despair event.” Mayor Kuren’s administration did help Laurel Run by lending it a payloader, providing three truckloads of gravel and letting workers tap into the sensors on the poles to get a speaker system hooked up. I would like to say thank you to Mayor Kuren and the administration for all the help they have provided to the climb. Naperkowski goes on to say: “How many police are really needed? Some are deadbeats.” First, I thank all the men and women who put on the blue uniform; they put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve, and to call them “deadbeats” is deplorable. Second, for many years these same officers provided their services to the hill climb. Third, I remind the editor that Naperkowski lives in the city of Wilkes-Barre, not in Wilkes-Barre Township. Naperkowski continues to criticize the township’s police department, fire department, zoning officer, recycling department and administration. I have yet to see him criticize the Wilkes-Barre Area School District for its recent troubles with the FBI and Secret Service, or for the 18,000 gallons of fuel missing in Wilkes-Barre city. It seems Naperkowski, a city taxpayer, is not concerned with any of these issues and continues to grind his ax with WilkesBarre Township. Alex Milanes Wilkes-Barre Township

The car was traveling north on the roadway and turned left into the McDonald’s fast food restaurant, Salavantis said. The car fled the scene after the collision with the motorcycle. “We have possession of the vehicle,” Salavantis said. Deputy county coroner Dan Hughes said autopsies were done on the victims, who died from multiple traumatic injuries. The manner of death is pending the police investigation. Police filed unrelated drug charges against Raven, who was arraigned by District Justice James Tupper in Kingston Township and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of bail totaling $30,000. Antonini, 46, of Gilligan Street, was arraigned on the tampering charge and committed to the county prison for lack of $5,000 bail. As he was led from the Jenkins Township Police Department to his arraignment, Antonini said, “I don’t even know why I’m here.” According to arrest papers: Antonini said he received a call from Raven to come to Raven’s house and help him power wash his car. Antonini, who agreed to speak to police, said “Walter told him that he was driving last night and was in an accident and he did not remember what he hit.” Antonini also said Raven was “very weird about telling him what had happened in regards to the accident.” Before cleaning the car with the power washer Antonini brought from his house, he noticed blood all over the car, broken glass and damage to the passenger-side rear door and roof.

Police filed a charge of tampering with evidence against Daniel Antonini, 46, of Wilkes-Barre.

Antonini told police he knew the car was involved in an accident and “that he was just trying to help his friend as he usually does.” When Jenkins Township officer Dion Fernandes took Raven into custody, the officer found two pill bottles and a plastic baggy containing pills. According to the arrest papers filed against Raven: One bottle was marked Nitrostat and contained what was believed to be nitroglycerine pills. The other bottle also was marked Nitrostat but contained suspected morphine pills. The baggy also contained suspected morphine pills. “They’re my prescriptions,” Raven said at his arraignment. Police did not have to file the drug possession charges if they allowed Raven to go into his house to get the prescription, he said. “I never make that mistake,” Raven said of putting the pills in the wrong bottle. Raven was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from Exeter police on drug charges. He allegedly sold 8 morphine pills to a confidential informant at the Turkey Hill in Exeter on Feb. 8, 2011.

FLOOD

Shickshinny suffers, too Likewise, in Shickshinny, fire chief and EMA director Kevin Morris said his station was busy around the clock taking care of his flooded hometown, even though his own home was safe up on the Shickshinny mountain. “We didn’t know it was going to get that bad,” Morris said, noting that with Shickshinny’s proximity to the river, flooding isn’t uncommon. “But then we realized we needed to get to work … and fast.” With flood water creeping up West Union Street, Morris knew

a few inches of water might reach the fire station. Important things that could be moved were put on table tops, and Morris’ son, Ryan, moved documents dating back to1897 to their home for safekeeping – including original deeds for the station. Flood water ended up reaching about 4 feet in the fire station, forcing the town’s entire emergency response team to relocate to other buildings up the street. Morris and Shickshinny Mayor Beverly Moore had met with residents and urged them to evacuate before the water began to rise. Even so, Morris said 22 people and six dogs had to be rescued from homes with the help of his son, Ryan, who is a volunteer firefighter. Rescues included several people from the high-rise apartment buildings, two families and two workers from the UGI plant in Hunlock Creek. At times, Ryan Morris said, the department’s 18-foot boat couldn’t get around because mud in the water clogged the engine. Stopping to clean the motor quickly became a problem, and boat rescues at night were not

phen Menn said the concept of legal “standing” is open to some interpretation but that the group would at least include all residents of West Wyoming. “Is it possible that someone from Kingston Township has standing? I would say there’s a possibility, but I would say somebody from Philadelphia doesn’t have standing,” Menn said. “I would say that someone from a municipality that’s not very close would not have standing.” Spokeswoman Lillian Harris said that if the zoning application is not approved, UGI Energy Services will decide whether to appeal after it reviews the board’s written decision. Zoning approval is also only the first, albeit significant, hurdle UGI must clear before construction can begin. The company also needs permits and approvals from the Luzerne County Planning Commission, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Luzerne Conservation District. County Planning Commission Director Adrian Merolli said UGI has not yet submitted a subdivi-

sion land development plan for the commission’s approval, which is contingent on UGI securing zoning approval. “Nothing has been applied for and typically that process takes months,” Merolli said. “The engineering review is very detailed and comprehensive.” The Planning Commission’s approval is based on UGI satisfying land development requirements such as stormwater control, driveway access and parking availability. While the commission’s meetings are public and the commission would consider public input with relevance to the issues considered, Merolli said the commission’s decision will be based primarily on technical engineering questions.The main permit UGI will need from DEP is an air quality permit allowing the company to release airborne emissions from the compressor station. DEP will base its decision on emissions guidelines set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency, said DEP Northeast Regional Office spokeswoman Colleen Connolly. UGI represen-

tatives told the zoning hearing board and previously stated the compressor will far exceed those levels. DEP also will consider concerns about public health and safety, including emergency response plans and access routes, and though it doesn’t regulate either, concerns about noise and odors. Connolly said the department has received multiple requests for a public hearing on the permit, including requests from West Wyoming officials, state Rep. Phyllis Mundy and state Sen. John Yudichak, and will schedule a hearing if the station receives zoning approval. “Many of my constituents and I are concerned that this compressor station may impact air quality in both the immediate and surrounding areas,” Mundy said. “A public hearing will give us important information and allow us to express our concerns to DEP.” Yudichak said the hearing will ensure that the local public, a significant portion of which opposes gas drilling, is fully informed about the project and that all in-

pleting both projects by fall 2013. The board will review written summaries of testimony made at the Aug. 7 hearing prior to rendering its decision Tuesday but will not accept new testimony. Despite that, outspoken opponent of the project Nancy Dolan of Exeter, a member of Luzerne County Citizens for Clean Air, said she plans to attend to hear the outcome herself, and expects at least some others to do so, too. “I think I’ve seen enough people that are concerned about it that want to hear the board’s decision and what they have to say,” Dolan said. “It affects so many people,” she added. “It affects me; it affects other people. What they’re asking for is to use agricultural land for industrial uses, and if that is permitted by the zoning board of Luzerne County, what is the point of having zoning at all? “The intent of zoning is to protect citizens; the health, safety,

welfare and property value of citizens in Luzerne County, and if you’re going to allow industrial, polluting operations in areas with dense populations, then we have to seriously reconsider our laws.” West Wyoming Council President Eileen Cipriani said she also will attend to hear the decision. The council is opposed to the plan and submitted testimony asking the board to reject UGI’s application or, failing that, approve it only if the company agrees to meet a list of conditions. “I don’t really have a feel for which way they’re going to rule,” Cipriani said. “Obviously, we said we’re opposed to the compressor station and were hoping it doesn’t go through, but I really don’t know ... . We’re just sort of in a holding pattern right now.” Regardless of which way the board’s decision swings, the determination may be appealed to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas by UGI Energy Services, the Borough of West Wyoming and individuals “with standing.” Board solicitor Ste-

Though not required, DEP will accept testimony on those permits at the planned air-quality permit hearing, which is tentatively scheduled for October. The company also will need erosion and sediment control approval for the construction phase of the station and pipeline from the Luzerne Conservation District as part of its DEP permit application.

McGloin: Offense will be better By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

Quarterback Matt McGloin had the Penn State moving in the first half against Ohio, throwing two touchdown passes. The Nittany Lions struggled in the second half, however..

Unfortunately for Penn State players, they’ve had plenty of chances to hone their coping skills. The past 10 months have brought little but bad news for the Nittany Lions -- the latest bit coming in the form of a disheartening 10-point loss to Ohio to open the season. So what now? Matt McGloin, for one, is staying positive. The Scranton native said that despite being shut out in the second half by the Bobcats on Saturday, he expects Penn State’s new offense to keep improving. “It felt great being out there,”

McGloin said. “I feel very, very comfortable in it. I thought I made a lot of good checks and ran the ball when we had to and threw the ball when we had to.” It was the first look at Bill O’Brien’s new offense in action at Penn State, and McGloin was the centerpiece. For the first time, the senior was permitted -- encouraged, to be more accurate -- to make changes at the line of scrimmage. In the first half, it looked to be a successful debut. McGloin threw touchdown passes to Bill Belton and Matt Lehman en route to setting new career highs in completions (27) and attempts (48). “I think he played a solid football

game,” O’Brien said of his quarterback. “I think he made some plays. I think he’s made a lot of strides and I’m proud to be his coach. I’m going to do a better job for him.” With McGloin under center for every play, the Lions showed off plenty of the offense, ported over in part from O’Brien’s time with the New England Patriots. A quick tempo. Two distinct tight end positions, with redshirt freshman Kyle Carter lining up on the line, split out wide and even in the backfield. Some no-huddle sprinkled in.

Roddick plays on

Pitcher Matt Tracy turns in strong performance after getting called up from Tampa. By MIKE SCANDURA Special to The Times-Leader

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Of all the places left-hander Matt Tracy expected to be Sunday night, McCoy Stadium wasn’t even on his list. But that’s exactly where he was as he made his first Triple-A start for the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees and earned a 6-2 YANKEES victory over the Pawtucket Red Sox. Tracy RED SOX pitched a commendable five innings and allowed one run on three hits with three walks and four strikeouts. If the parent New York Yankees hadn’t called up a trio of pitchers Saturday, Tracy still would be with Single-A Tampa. “It definitely was a surprise when I found out (Saturday),” Tracy said. “I was on a bus heading to Lakeland for our game. They told me, drove me straight to the airport and I got on a plane and flew here. So, I was excited.” Yankees pitching coach Scott

Andy Roddick celebrates winning a point during his match against Italy’s Fabio Fognini in the third round of play at the U.S. Open on Sunday in New York.

Victory extends career for another match

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK — Knowing full well each match could be his last, Andy Roddick is putting on a show while soaking up every moment along the way. So when he pounded a forehand passing shot to seize a 20-stroke point Sunday, Roddick thrust both arms overhead, motioning to the full house of U.S. Open spectators to make even more noise. Moments later, after hitting a winning volley, Roddick wagged his right index finger while chugging back to the baseline. Channeling his inner Jimmy Connors, Roddick is having a grand ol’ time at his retirement party — and he’s not done yet. Winning a second consecutive match since announcing the U.S. Open will be the last tournament of his career, 2003

champion Roddick stuck around at least a little longer by getting past 59th-ranked Fabio Fognini of Italy 7-5, 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-4 in the third round Sunday. “I’d be an idiot not to use the crowd right now. It’s a huge advantage,” Roddick said. “Each match is almost like it’s another memory.” What comes next could really be memorable. In the fourth round Tuesday, the last American man to win a Grand Slam title will face 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, who defeated Leonardo Mayer 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 (9) in an all-Argentine match that featured one particularly noteworthy point. In the tiebreaker, Mayer smacked a backhand that somehow ricocheted off the top of a net post and landed in the court — but del Potro was unfazed, got the ball back and wound

up winning the point. “I’m going to have to serve well, kind of try to rush him a little bit,” Roddick said about del Potro. “When he gets into a groove and has time, he’ll put a hurt on the ball.” Looking ahead himself, del Potro wasn’t about to get too sentimental about Roddick’s impending departure from tennis. “I know this is special, this day, for him, but I’m doing my job,” said the seventhseeded del Potro, whose major trophy is the only of the past 30 that wasn’t won by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic. “The crowd loves Andy here,” del Potro said, “and they have respect (for) me.” See OPEN, Page 4B

OPINION TIM DAHLBERG

The curious case of Strasburg Stephen Strasburg sure didn’t look like a pitcher with issues Sunday afternoon in Washington. Quite the opposite, he looked like someone the St. Louis Cardinals or any other team wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs a month from now. The fact that won’t be happening isn’t merely stupefying. It might be the worst decision for baseball in Washington since the Senators first fled to Minnesota a half-century ago. Think about it. A Washington team is on the verge of playing a postseason game for the first time since the country was still in the grips of the Great Depression. But when the Nationals open the playoffs — almost surely at home — they’ll do it with their best pitcher watching from the dugout, unavailSurely, able to help. anyone All in the name of prowatching tecting an arm no one is even Sunday as sure needs Strasburg protecting. hit the Of all the mid-90s crazy things done in the with his nation’s capfastball ital, this may be the craziest. would be The motive might be admi- hardrable — cerpressed to tainly no one find any wants to see Strasburg end deterioraup washed up early like Mark tion in his Prior, another arm since recent phenom the season — but it’s based on theo- began. ry and feel with no real basis in scientific study. It also seems at least partly driven by Strasburg’s agent, Scott Boras, who by the nature of his job is more concerned with his client’s future earning potential than the possibility of a Washington team winning the World Series for the first time since 1924. Surely, anyone watching Sunday as Strasburg hit the mid-90s with his fastball would be hardpressed to find any deterioration in his arm since the season began. For that, he gets two more starts, the last coming Sept. 12 against the Mets at Citi Field. Then general manager Mike Rizzo plans to shut him down for the season for fear of risking any more innings on a right arm a year removed from reconstructive elbow surgery. For Strasburg, that means no playoffs. For Nationals fans, it means having to deal with the idea the best team in baseball will have a tougher time making the World Series than it would have with its ace on the mound. For Rizzo, it’s the right move no matter who criticizes it. “Stephen Strasburg is one of the most popular players in baseball and it is a good conversational piece,” Rizzo said after the game. “It is a debatable subject, but most of the people who have weighed in on this know about 10 percent of the information that we know, that we’ve made our opinion and based it on.” If Nats fans have trouble swallowing that, it’s not because they wish any ill will to Strasburg or the right arm that has already made him quite rich. Surely they want to see him healthy and throwing 95 mph fastballs in Washington for years to come. See CASE, Page 4B

The Atlanta Braves’ Chipper Jones hits a three-run, walk-off home run in the ninth inning of a game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday in Atlanta. The Braves won 8-7.

Jones’ HR in ninth dooms Philadelphia ATLANTA — Chipper Jones hit a three-run homer off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the ninth inning, capping a five-run rally that sent the Atlanta Braves over the Philadelphia Phillies 8-7 on Sunday. The Phillies led 7-3 entering the ninth and seemed set to complete a three-game sweep. Instead, the Braves boosted their wild-card position, coming back against Jeremy Horst and Papelbon (3-6). Reed Johnson singled off Horst with one out for his third hit and Paul Janish walked. Papelbon struck out pinch hitter Lyle Overbay before walking Michael Bourn to load the bases. Mets 5, Marlins 1

MIAMI — Jason Bay hit his fifth career grand slam in the Mets’ five-run first inning and New York earned a three-game series sweep over the Miami Marlins with a win. Chris Young (4-7) allowed one run and five hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out three as the Mets won for the seventh time in eight games. Nationals 4 Cardinals 3

WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg allowed two hits over six scoreless innings, striking out nine before being pulled as the Washington Nationals beat the St. Louis Cardinals. The NL East-leading Nationals took three of four from St. Louis and passed their 80-win total from last season. Reds 5, Astros 3

HOUSTON — Jay Bruce’s

three-run homer keyed Cincinnati’s five-run eighth inning and the National League Central-leading Reds rallied for a win over the Houston Astros. Houston led by three entering the eighth before Drew Stubbs walked with one out and Brandon Phillips singled to chase Hector Ambriz. Lefthander Xavier Cedeno (0-1) came in and watched his first pitch sail into the seats in right field on Bruce’s 29th homer to tie it at 3-all. Brewers 12, Pirates 8

MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun hit his NL-leading 37th home run, pitcher Yovani Gallardo also connected and the Milwaukee Brewers outslugged Pittsburgh, sending the Pirates to their 10th loss in 13 games. CHICAGO — Angel Pagan hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth inning and the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants closed out a successful road trip with a win over the Chicago Cubs.

combined for 14 receptions for 237 yards in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37-34 win in Dallas on Dec. 11 and they had11more for 254 yards and two touchdowns in the division-deciding game that catapulted the Giants to their second title in five seasons. The bottom line was that Mike Jenkins and Terrence Newman couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the wide outs, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spent the offseason trying to improve his cornerbacks. Dallas signed Carr, a four-year starter with the Chiefs, as a free agent, and moved up eight spots in the first round of the draft to take Claiborne, the star of the LSU defense. Cruz, who ignited the win in the regular-season finale with a 74-yard catch and run for a touchdown, said the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new cornerbacks werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to take risks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will be an interesting test for us - for myself, Hakeem, all of the receivers just being able to decipher what coverages theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in and making our routes according to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in,â&#x20AC;? said Cruz, who 13 catches against Dallas for 261 yards and a TD in the two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how it goes. We know they like to play physical and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re jamming up a lot and we have to use our ability to get off the jam and stuff like that. It should be a good test for us.â&#x20AC;? Nicks, who started training camp on the physically unable to perform list and only played a couple of series in the final preseason game, refused to speculate on why the Cowboys changed their cornerbacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily say they made the changes for us,â&#x20AC;? the fourth-year receiver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They feel like they tried to better their team. So they went out and tried to better their team. You know, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to pay out game according to our game plan and do what we have to do when we go out there.â&#x20AC;? Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said the Cowboys used different strategies against New York in the two games. In the first one, they used a lot of man-to-man coverage along with a combination of double teams against the wide outs. In the second game, they played more zone.

Djokovic, the defending champion, beat No. 31 Julien Benneteau in straight sets and will meet No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka for a quarterfinal berth. Also advancing: No. 4 David Ferrer, who got past two-time major champion Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 (9), 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 and now meets No. 13 Richard Gasquet, who eliminated two-time NCAA champion Steve Johnson 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-3; and No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic, who will face the winner of Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match between No. 9 John Isner of the United States and No. 19 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany. In womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action, top-seeded Victoria Azarenka beat 73rdranked Anna Tatishvili 6-2, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows for the first time. Azarenka has dropped only 10 games through four matches heading into a showdown against defending champion Sam Stosur, a 6-4, 6-4 winner over18-year-old Laura Robson of Britain, whose breakthrough run included wins against past major champions Kim Clijsters and Li Na. Maria Sharapova, a four-time Grand Slam title winner, was facing No. 19 Nadia Petrova in the last womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-round match Sunday night. The winner will play No. 11 Marion Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up, who came back to defeat

But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to win a World Series before another 88 years passes. And despite Rizzo claiming they have only 10 percent of the information he has, they have yet to be told just how a limit of between 160-170 innings on Strasburg this year guarantees anything for the future of the pitcher or the franchise. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, of course. There are no guarantees with the arms of power pitchers, whether they can go into their 40s still throwing heat like Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens, or flame out early like Prior did with the Cubs. Generally speaking, the more innings a pitcher throws the more chance is he could be injured, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide debate over what constitutes normal use versus overuse.

THE TIMES LEADER

2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 1-6, 6-2, 6-0. Robson beat four-time major champion Kim Clijsters in the second round Wednesday, sending the 29-year-old Belgian into retirement. It was the next day, Roddickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th birthday, that he surprisingly let the world know he had decided to walk away from the sport whenever this visit to Flushing Meadows ends. Sunday just so happened to be five-time U.S. Open champion Connorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 60th birthday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and on the very same date in 1991, Connors celebrated his 39th by coming back to beat Aaron Krickstein in five sets to reach the quarterfinals in New York, a matchreplayedoftenduringrain delays in more recent times. Connors, who later briefly coached Roddick, was at his rabble-rousing, crowd-goading best on that day 21years ago; in one of those nice twists, Roddick was in New York then, a kid who was treated to tickets as a present to celebrate his ninth birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my first taste of live tennis, and it was that run,â&#x20AC;? Roddick recalled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as good as it gets.â&#x20AC;? He and Fognini provided their own brand of entertainment, even though Roddick is not at his best because of an aching right shoulder. A couple of months ago, Roddick lowered the tension in his racket strings so he could, he explained while pointing to that shoulder, â&#x20AC;&#x153;get a little sling action in it and help the old Hamburger Helper here.â&#x20AC;? Asked how that key part of his body feels, Roddick said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

great. But, you know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good enough. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got, max, a week of tennis left, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good enough for that.â&#x20AC;? An element of Roddickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal, in addition to an ability to play tennis well enough to reach five Grand Slam finals and get to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, is his showmanship and quickness with a quip.

Dealing with a series of injuries, Roddick dropped out of the top 20 in February, then slid to No. 34 in March, his lowest ranking since 2001. A balky right hamstring forced Roddick to retire during his second-round match at the Australian Open in January, and he lost in the first round at the French Open and third round at Wimbledon.

important thing to do to keep hitters conscious of both sides of the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps you out a lot up there.â&#x20AC;? Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion was seconded by Aldred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he pitched to both sides of the plate,â&#x20AC;? Aldred said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to pitch in. He used his fastball when he needed to on both sides.â&#x20AC;? The Yankees exited the first inning with a 1-0 lead which, were it not for one of McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time web gems, could have been 4-0. Kevin Russo, Corban Joseph and Ronnie Mustelier each sin-

Kosukue Fukudome followed by lining a shot that appeared like it would sail over the short fence in front of Pawtucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left-field bullpen for a grand-slam homer. But Jason Repko leaped, snared the ball and held on as he crashed on top of the fence and fell into the bullpen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thus turning the play into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spectacularâ&#x20AC;? sacrifice fly. Pawtucket scored its lone run off Tracy in the second on two walks, a wild pitch and a fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. Fukudome made sure the

ball he hit in his next at-bat, in the third, was uncatchable as he pulled a shot to right for his second homer of the season for a 2-1 lead. Austin Romineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth-inning sacrifice fly produced a third run and the Yankees broke the game open during a three-run eighth. The key hits were a two-run double by Joseph and Musteilierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI single. Ex-PawSox Manny Delcarmen allowed one run in two innings of relief while Ryota Igarashi finished with two hitless, three-strikeout innings to seal the deal.

mation in which the Bobcats lost track of the tight end, who came open on the right sideline. Afterward, the ESPN broadcast of the game showed a replay of a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski last season against Kansas City. Same play, same formation, same result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see a lot more,â&#x20AC;? Lehman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot more in our playbook and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to spread the ball out. I like to see the tight ends get more involved.â&#x20AC;? Things bogged down considerably in the second half as the Bobcats started dropping linebackers into coverage more often, trying to take away the underneath routes that were so successful for the Lions early on. McGloin had only a few chances to take shots deep but the timing with the new starting wideouts wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely there, leading to some overthrows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have days like that,â&#x20AC;? McGloin said of those misfires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very frustrating, but at the same time it happens. Two passes are not going to win or lose the game. I overthrew and underthrew, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my fault. There are a lot of things that I did wrong today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to go back and watch the film and improve from there.â&#x20AC;? His lone interception came on the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final drive as a pass caromed off of a receiver and into the air, where a linebacker was able to run underneath it. The pass protection for McGloin was generally good, despite four new starters on the offensive line. McGloin was not sacked and was only hurried out of the pocket a few times on the afternoon. The main trouble came during one stretch out of the no-huddle in which new left tackle Donovan Smith had to come off the field, forcing Mike Farrell to switch over from right tackle on the fly. Drops by receivers also hurt the Lions after halftime. Starting wideout Shawney Kersey said stamina was an issue for him after missing a chunk of preseason camp with an injury.

Some bold ... er, conclusions before the season As we stand here on the eve of the regular season, it is tradition among the discriminating fantasy football writer to churn out a speculation-filled column entitled “Bold Predictions for the 2012 Season.” Importunely, the lawyers have informed me I am not a licensed certified prognosticator, and therefore I am not allowed to make any “predictions.” I can take “guesses” at the answers, however, and that is what I will do. So, instead of “10 bold predictions” here are “10 Conclusions Based on Little to No Evidence That May or May Not Be Correct Depending on Future Circumstances.”

Hamlin gets second straight win

Louisville running back Senorise Perry works off a block during action against Kentucky in tan NCAA football game at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Ky., Sunday. Louisville won, 32-14.

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

HAMPTON, Ga. — Denny Hamlin won his second straight Sprint Cup race, holding off Jeff Gordon in a green-white-checkered finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night. Martin Truex Jr. appeared to be positioned for his first win since 2007 until Jamie McMurray smashed the wall on the front straightaway, bringing out a caution with three laps to go. The leaders went to pit road, and Hamlin’s crew got him back on the track first, just ahead of Truex. While Truex struggled to get up to speed on the restart, Hamlin pulled away with Gordon right on his bumper. The four-time Cup champion desperately needed a win to improve his chances of getting into the Chase, but couldn’t get by Hamlin on the final lap. Hamlin took the series victory lead with four, putting him in position to top the standings when the 12-drive Chase starts.

the Redskins backfield. But with Mike Shanahan acting as the Electoral College, the results will be anything but clear. By the time all the write-in votes and hanging chads are counted, look for Royster to be the next RB in chief.

goodness in the preseason. Give him some time next to Johnson, wait for him to develop some, and watch him become a big part of the Texan’s offense late in the season when Johnson misses some time.

There’d be no need for Brady to air it out all the time. And what did the Patriots make a big effort to improve in the offseason? Yep. The defense. Oh, he’ll be a great QB, he just won’t need to throw 45 TDs to win.

6: BROWNS RB TRENT RICHARDSON will be a good running back. But not this year. Fantasy “gurus” have been gushing over Richardson all preseason, but they’re missing some red flags. Red flag No. 1: Knee surgery shelved him for the preseason. Red flag No. 2: It’s his second knee surgery of the year. Red flag No. 3: The Browns have a rookie QB. Red flag No. 4: Hey. It’s the Browns.

8: DOLPHINS WR DEVONE BESS will actually be a Miami passing option worth having. In a point-per-reception format, that is. Brandon Marshall is gone and the Dolphins will have a rookie QB at the helm, which means more short, safe passes. That is where what Bess comes in. Figure on 5 or 6 catches for about 60 yards a game. Throw in an occasional TD and you’ve got some cheap fantasy points.

7: TEXANS WR KESHAWN MARTIN will play a valuable fantasy role by year’s end. We all know Andre Johnson is “The Man” in Houston. But he’s also “The Man Who Gets Hurt A Lot.” Martin is a rookie who showed some flashes of WR

9: PATRIOTS QB TOM BRADY doesn’t top 40 TDs and 4,000 yards this year. What? Am I crazy? Well, probably, but hear me out. What would happen if New England’s defense actually worked instead of doing its best Swiss cheese impersonation?

10: VIKINGS RB ADRIAN PETERSON will be OK, but it won’t be pretty. History has shown it takes about a full year to recover from a torn ACL. And then, even more time to get back to the same playing level before the injury. Let’s do the math: Peterson shredded his knee on Christmas Eve. That was about 250 days ago. Last I checked, a year has 365 days. That’s nowhere near the expected recovery time, let alone the “getting back to speed” time.

Jones-Drew ends his 38-day holdout

Louisville romps over Kentucky The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Charlie Strong had concerns about how his team would start the season, despite a No.25rankingandthetopspotin the preseason Big East picks. If the opener Sunday against Kentucky was any indication, Strong had nothing to worry about. Starting the game on the1 turned out to be no trouble for the Cardinals, who simply drove the length of the field for a touchdown that set the tone for a 32-14 victory. How easy was it? Louisville’s

next two scoring drives covered 85 and 93 yards and how quickly it happened depended on whose hands were on the ball. “I do not know if I expected the offense to perform as well as they did,” Strong said after his team outgained Kentucky 466-373. “A lot of the time you just don’t know how well guys will play together and get in sync. They were able to get in sync, stay in sync and move the ball up and down the field.” Credit sophomore Teddy Bridgewater for getting things going on that first drive, taking

the Cardinals from third down on their 2 up to the 42 with consecutive completions to Damian Copeland and Andrell Smith. Jeremy Wright and Senorise Perry took the cue and then took off, with Wright rushing for three touchdowns and Perry adding a 47-yard touchdown run. “That’s what we pride ourselves on, that’s why we work hard,” said Bridgewater, who finished with 232 yards on 19-of-21 passing, a school record for completion percentage. “We practice game-like situations, so (Sunday) was just like practice.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Maurice Jones-Drew remains as passionate as ever about his value. So when the Jacksonville Jaguars running back ended his 38day holdout Sunday — without a new contract — he had no apologies, no regrets and no concerns about his standing with the franchise. “I’m in a good place,” he said. “I did something I felt was right, and I’m always going to feel right. I’m not going to feel wrong for what I did it at all. And that’s why I can come back and not haveanegativeattitude.Ithinkif you regret things, you’re going to come back salty, be a distraction, things like that. “I don’t feel that way ‘cause what I did was right. No one can tell me it was wrong. Not one person here can tell me what I did was wrong.” Jones-Drew arrived at the team facility Sunday morning, chatted with teammates and then had a 40-minute conversation with coach Mike Mularkey. Later, he spent nearly half an hour answering questions about his holdout, even getting to a point where he told reporters to

“make sure we all get this out of the way because I’m done after this.” “This is the last talk about the whole conJones-Drew tract situation,” he said. “We’re going to more forward to football after this.” Jones-Drew considered skipping games, missing paychecks and causing an even bigger distraction for the team. Ultimately, though, he opted to report a week before the season opener. Jacksonville plays at Minnesota next Sunday. “It really wasn’t about budging,” said Jones-Drew, who took a conditioning test later in the day. “For me, it got to the point where I wasn’t going to be traded. Obviously, they weren’t going to pay me. I could have easily sat out until Week10, come back and been a distraction. It wasn’t aboutthat.I’mnotgoingtocome back and distract guys from playing the game the right way.” The NFL’s leading rusher in 2011, Jones-Drew skipped the team’s entire offseason schedule in what became a nasty contract dispute.

Oosthuizen races out to big lead in Boston 150 Special Notices

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

NORTON, Mass. — Louis Oosthuizen knows what it’s like to hit every shot right where he’s aiming and to stand over every putt believing it will go in. He once shot a 57 on his home course at Mossel Bay in South Africa, a number he wears on the left sleeve of his shirt. For about two hours Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship, that’s how it felt. Oosthuizen ran off seven straight birdies, a streak that began after he nearly three-putted from 5 feet. He shot 29 on the front nine of the TPC Boston. He didn’t miss a green until the 17th hole. That’s all it took to race by PGA champion Rory McIlroy, leave Tiger Woods behind and seize control going into the Labor Day finish. Oosthuizen had an 8-under 63, establishing tournament records for consecutive birdies, low front nine and a 54-hole score of 19-under 194. “Probably the start anyone would dream of on that front nine,” Oosthuizen said. “I made everything, so you get those days where you just look at a putt and you hole it. That was my first nine holes.” The back nine wasn’t bad, and it included one brief scare when he felt a twinge in his back when he went after a 9-iron on the 16th. The ache was gone on the 18th,

and he rolled in one last birdie to keep McIlroy from getting even closer. McIlroy, trying to match Woods with his third PGA Tour win this year, did well just to stay in range. “You think going out with a one-shot lead and shooting 67 that you ... might still be in the lead going into the last day,” McIlroy said. “But Louis put on a display out there for a few holes, reeling off seven birdies in a row. It was great to watch. Louis is the sort of player that can do that. He’s very explosive and he didn’t really put a foot wrong today. Ve-

ry happy that I’m still in touching distance going into tomorrow.” Combine one of the sweetest swings in golf with a putting stroke that was just as pure, and that’s what Oosthuizen is capable of doing. Remember, he won the British Open at St. Andrews in 2010 by seven shots. Woods again didn’t make as many putts as he thought he could, and even a short birdie on the 16th left him nervous until it curled in. He still managed a 68 and was six shots behind, along with Dustin Johnson, who kept alive his hopes of being picked for the Ryder Cup with a 65.

Mother-in-law wants her eulogy written while she can still control it Dear Abby: My mother-in-law is insisting that her son and I each write a eulogy for her, so she can read it before she dies. We don’t think her request is appropriate and have told her so, but she keeps insisting. What do you think? — To Write or Not to Write Dear T.W. or Not T.W.: I think your mother-in-law is starved for compliments, and that’s why she’s pressuring you. Ask her what she would like to have included in her eulogy, and then do some creative writing. When the time comes to read it, she won’t be around — and you can say whatever you’d like with no repercussions.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Abby: My daughter “Sally’s” husband, “Donny,” left her when she was three months pregnant with their second child. She had to move back in with us to make ends meet, and Donny says it’s “too strange” to come here to visit his son. He hasn’t paid a nickel of child support since he left Sally. He’s seeing another woman and wanted to introduce her to my grandson, but Sally said he would have to pick him up at our house, so he refused. Three days ago, Donny emailed Sally and asked her to call him when she goes into labor so he and his

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

girlfriend can be there. She replied that he is welcome to come after the baby is born, but the girlfriend is not welcome. He emailed my daughter back that she is immature, and she needs to get used to the idea that the girlfriend is going to be involved in their children’s lives and she should “get over it.” We are horrified that he thinks this is OK. What do you think? How do we handle this? — Upset Grandma in Missouri Dear Upset Grandma: It appears your daughter married a self-centered loser who has been shirking his responsibility to his child. Because there is no reason to think this won’t continue when their second child arrives, Sally should start talking with a

CRYPTOQUOTE

lawyer, NOW. As to the email he sent your daughter, she should refuse to take the bait and not respond to it at all. Sometimes silence sends a more eloquent message than anything one could say. It goes without saying that Donny and his girlfriend should not have a front-row seat for the birth of this baby. Dear Abby: We are a youthful senior couple who plan to remain single. We like to travel together. People assume that we are married. I know these incidents will increase on any trip we take. A straightforward, “Oh, we’re not married,” seems to cause awkwardness, especially with the age group that will be on these trips. I’d like to

avoid lying or allowing the faulty assumption to exist. Any suggestions for the appropriate response? — Couple on the Go in New Jersey Dear Couple On The Go: Couples in your age group who cohabit without marriage often have financial reasons for it. And not all married couples share the same last name. Because you feel you must reveal your single status, the appropriate response is the one you are giving, and you don’t have to apologize for it. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You love to come across a problem you already know the solution to, but it’s not your first choice. You prefer a situation that has something to teach you. Right now, you’re an especially eager and fast learner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In English, the words “all right” cover a wide variety of meanings, including “not so good,” “amazing,” “agreed” and “yes.” Each of those meanings will apply to your state and to your life at some point in the day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are a first-rate version of yourself today. Ironically, you are able to create a strong identity because you chose a hero and followed in this person’s footsteps. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Time is conceptual. You can’t see it. You can only see evidence that it was here. You are compelled today to add to the evidence in a very personal way, perhaps by planting a seed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The people who think that Leos always want or need attention are not seeing the entire picture. Today you’ll prefer to recharge in solitude. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your focus now is on being good to those you care about. This may entail being good to the people they care about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll share key pieces of information on a need-to-know basis. But you’ll be careful not to exert too much influence on people, because that would stop them from telling you what they think.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can love someone and still see the flaws. You don’t have to ignore these flaws, either. Instead, you embrace them, maybe even finding a kind of imperfect perfection in them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To reveal what you’re thinking and believing comes at a risk. They might not agree or like your views. But it’s better to repel someone by being who you are than to attract someone by being who you’re not. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The preparations you make now will be instrumental in the success of a plan. Still, be judicious. Don’t put so much stock in this future event that you miss the main action of today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love is all about freedom. That’s what makes it so magical. Someone could be doing any number of things, and in spite of all the responsibilities and distractions in the world, this person chooses to be with you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a good chance you feel unappreciated. Loved ones have asked a lot of you lately, and you’ve been gracious enough to deliver without fuss. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself what others haven’t. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3). Financial improvements allow you to do something you’ve always wanted to do in 2013. Your heart will be healed as important issues of your childhood are sorted out in October. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 30, 50 and 1.
