After the Buick was found, police learned there was an arrest warrant for Raven charging him with selling eight morphine tablets to an informant in Exeter in February 2011. Raven was allegedly found on Sunday with pills without a prescription. Raven was charged with drug offenses and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $30,000 bail.

mets, according to the Luzerne County Coroner’s Office. Autopsies revealed Pizano and Walsh died from multiple traumatic injuries related to the crash. Jenkins Township police officer Dion Fernandes spotted the Buick while Raven and Daniel Antonini, 46, were allegedly using a power washer to clean it Sunday afternoon at Raven’s residence. Antonini told police Raven called him Sunday afternoon and asked him to help wash the Buick. Antonini stated Raven told him that Raven was in an accident but See FATAL, Page 12A

Collector criticized over own back taxes By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Fairmount Township tax collector Dorethea Dohl owes $13,725 in back taxes on her own properties, prompting public criticism from Luzerne County Councilman Edward Brominski. “Tax collectors should be above reproach. It’s a travesty,” Brominski said Tuesday. Dohl, who was appointed by township officials after the sudden retirement of the elected tax collector, said Tuesday her family has been struggled financially operating a dairy farm. “It’s a very difficult business,” she said. The family is in the process of selling its

dairy cows to focus solely on grain crops, which should yield a profit, she said. Dohl said a township official approached her about the tax collector post because others had declined the job after Theresa Roman’s retirement. She said she accepted the post in February because she has financial experience at the farm and another family business. Dohl said she didn’t discuss her delinquent taxes with township officials, and they didn’t mention the issue. She said her personal finances were examined to obtain a required bond, which protects taxing bodies if property taxes are lost or stolen. She said her experience as a delinquent taxpayer helps her better relate to town-

ship property owners who also are struggling to pay. Dohl also said she’s not ignoring the obligation. “They’re being paid,” Dohl said. Dohl and her husband, Larry, signed up for a repayment plan last month with the county tax claim office because their seven properties, all in the township, were listed in the Sept. 20 back-tax auction. Taxes are owed for 2010 and 2011, records show. Their next payment installment of $1,236 is due Sept. 28, records show. Property owners can keep their properties out of a sale if they stick to payment plans, though the option is off-limits for See TAXES, Page 12A

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — First lady Michelle Obama lovingly praised her husband Tuesday night in a primetime Democratic Convention speech as a devoted husband and caring father at home and a “man we can trust” to revive the nation’s weak economy as president, beckoning the country to return him to the White House despite agonizingly slow recovery from recession. Obama “He reminds me that we are playing a long game here ... and that change is hard, and change is slow and it never happens all at once,” she told a na- Castro tion impatient with slow economic progress and persistently high unemployment of 8.3 percent. “But eventually, we get there, we always do,” she said in a speech that blended scenes from 23 years of marriages with the Obamas’ time in the White House.

UGI compressor application denied By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

09815 10011

WILKES-BARRE – UGI Energy Services cannot go forward with its plan to build a natural gas compressor station in West Wyoming, the Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board declared Tuesday evening. In a decision that brought a roar of applause from the close to 100 opponents of the controversial project assembled at the Luzerne County Courthouse to hear it, the board voted unanimously to deny the company’s application for a

special exception to build the station and a variance for an associated 100-foot communications tower. UGI Energy Services will have 30 days to appeal the decision to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. The pipeline company hoped to build the station in a14-acre wooded area off Fire Cut Road owned by Joseph Kalinosky, the nearest resident to the site. It was planned as part of UGI’s $150 million, 27.5mile Auburn Pipeline extension project, which will link the Tennes-

see interstate pipeline in Susquehanna County to the Transco interstate pipeline in Luzerne County. The company also planned to join the Auburn Pipeline with the gas distribution network of sister company UGI Utilities through a smaller line extending from the compressor station to a measurement facility on Saylor Avenue in Wilkes-Barre.

Keystone College leader to step down

Departure latest in string of local college presidents leaving. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

LA PLUME – Keystone College President Edward G. Boehm Jr. will step down on June 1, after 18 years at the helm of the private college that straddles the Wyoming and Lackawanna county lines. Boehm’s presidential tenure is the longest in Keystone College’s 144-year history. And his departure is the latest in a recent string of long-tenured presidents leaving local colleges. In the past three years, six local college presidents have left or announced they’ll leave. They include: • Patrick F. Leahy replaced Tim Gil-

mour as president of Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre on June 30. Gilmour retired. • The Rev. Jack Ryan succeeded the Rev. Thomas O’Hara as president of King’s Boehm College in WilkesBarre in 2011. O’Hara has gone back to teaching. • The Rev. Kevin Quinn was selected to replace the Rev. Scott. R. Pilarz as the president of The University of Scranton in 2011. Pilarz left to lead Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis. • Mark Volk became president at Lackawanna College in Scranton in July, replacing Raymond S. Angeli, who retired. • Michael A. MacDowell announced

he would leave Misericordia University in Dallas Township in 2013. A nationwide search for his successor has begun. According to a Keystone College release, at the request of the school’s Board of Trustees, Boehm will transition to the role of president emeritus, continuing to serve the college in various duties on campus and in the community. Keystone will begin a nationwide search for Boehm’s successor, with an announcement expected before the end of the 2012-2013 academic year. “It has been a great privilege and honor to serve as Keystone’s president for nearly two decades,” said Boehm, the college’s ninth president. “During that time, Keystone has grown from a junior college to one of the most respected baccalaureate institutions in Northeastern Pennsylvania.”

Boehm began his Keystone tenure in 1995, a time when enrollment had dwindled to less than 400 students, and the school was in need of an infusion of energy and enthusiasm. Under his leadership, Keystone became a baccalaureate college in1998 and granted its first bachelor’s degree to one student in 2000. Since then, the college has added academic programs and attracted more students each year. During the 2012 commencement ceremony, Keystone conferred 355 degrees, the vast majority of which were bachelor’s degrees. Keystone’s total enrollment is now nearly 1,800 students. “Ned Boehm will go down in Keystone history for his vital role in helping the college survive and prosper when the fu-

XETER – After a fire heavily damaged her Grico’s restaurant building on Wyoming Avenue last year, 65-year-old Pat Greenfield thought about retiring. But Greenfield said she decided to rebuild the landmark eatery because “so many customers and friends have encouraged me to come back,” Greenfield said Tuesday. “That means a lot to me.”

She plans to reopen in January. As you walk through the ongoing renovation project, you can still smell the fire. But Greenfield said that will soon be gone. “And as soon as we open, the garlic will take care of that,” she said with a chuckle. Greenfield said many people ask her if the bar and the private dining booths with curtains will again be part of the décor. “Yes to both of those questions,” she said. “We have expanded our dining areas to allow for more room for larger parties, but

we will retain the things that made Grico’s unique.” Seating capacity will be 110 to 120, she said. And the remodeling has revealed a few aesthetics that will give the restaurant a “softer” dining environment. For example, workers uncovered a brick wall and some glass blocks that will be exposed and refurbished. Greenfield vividly remembers the night the building caught fire.

Woman who killed intruder gets 1-2 in drug case By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Glen Lyon woman was sentenced Tuesday to one to two years in state prison on a drug charge stemming from an incident in which she shot and killed a man in what was later called a justifiable homicide. Judge Fred Pierantoni sentenced Amanda Rose Bowman, 30, on a charge of criminal conspiracy with intent to deliver stemming from the February 2011 shooting inside a suspected methamphetamine lab that left 44-yearold Robert Muntz dead. Pierantoni also sentenced Bowman to 12 months of special probation and 25 hours of

community service. Bowman, who pleaded guilty to the charge in April, Bowman asked through her attorney, John Pike, that her sentencing be delayed because of new drug charges she faces – she had also been scheduled for a preliminary hearing Tuesday morning. Bowman was charged last month by Wilkes-Barre police after she was found sitting in a Toyota Corolla on East Lafayette Place with two other people. Police said the

vehicle was being used as a mobile meth lab. She was scheduled Tuesday morning to appear for a preliminary hearing, but that hearing was continued until Oct. 23. Pierantoni said he would not allow the sentencing to be continued, but did allow Bowman to remain at the county prison, where she is held for lack of $50,000 on the new charges, until her preliminary hearing is complete. Pike said his client denies the new allegations. Bowman testified at an August 2011 preliminary hearing that she shot Muntz in the head with a .40-caliber hand-

gun after Muntz and several other burst into her Hunlock Township trailer. Prosecutors later ruled the shooting justifiable homicide, noting Bowman acted in self-defense. Police said Bowman shared the trailer with her boyfriend, Jeffrey Layton, and the trailer contained materials used to manufacture meth. A total of nine people where charged with drug-related offenses in that case. Bowman also is facing additional drug charges stemming from an Aug. 31 arrest in Newport Township. She is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 26 for those charges.

SCRANTON – Attorneys for WilkesBarre General Hospital are seeking to appeal a federal judge’s ruling relating to a class-action lawsuit that claims the hospital improperly denied overtime payments to employees. The lawsuit, filed last year by Michele Sakalas on behalf of herself and others, alleges the hospital manipulated the employees’ schedules to avoid paying overtime. The case focuses on differences in rules relating to overtime time payments in a 40-hour, one-week pay period, compared to an 80-hour, two-week pay period. The hospital, which is owned by Community Health Systems, had a policy of paying overtime only if an employee works more than 80 hours in a two-week pay period. Sakalas, a licensed practical nurse, says she would be scheduled to work 32 hours in one week, then 48 hours in the second week, thereby allowing the hospital to avoid paying overtime. The lawsuit claims that policy violates Pennsylvania’s Minimum Wage Act. Sidney Steinberg, an attorney for the hospital, filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing the Minimum Wage Act does not allow for lawsuits relating to overtime. The hospital also sought to enjoin the union that represents nurses, arguing it should be held liable for any damages because the union approved the overtime policy in question as part of a collective bargaining agreement. U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani recently denied both motions. Mariani acknowledged the minimumwage law does not explicitly cover disputes regarding overtime. He noted numerous prior appellate court rulings that have allowed such claims under the law, however. Mariani also said the hospital could not enjoin the union, finding that it was attempting to attach liability by claiming the union breached its duty to fairly represent the nurses. “Defendants do not have standing to assert a breach of the duty of fair representation … because the duty is owed by the union to employees, not the employers,” Mariani said. Steinberg is now seeking to appeal Mariani’s ruling to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mariani must grant him permission to do so, however, because it involves a legal issue in a case that is unresolved. In his motion, Steinberg argues the judge should permit the appeal because it involves a legal interpretation of the Minimum Wage Act. An appellate court ruling on the matter would resolve the case, either for the plaintiff or defendant, without the necessity of going to trial. Attorney Peter Winebrake, who represents Sakalas, filed court papers opposing the motion. Winebrake contends the legal issue in question has previously been decided by other courts; therefore an appeal would not advance the case.

Levee role in worsening floods studied

B R I E F

Previously dry areas flooded by Isaac By CAIN BURDEAU and STACEY PLAISANCE Associated Press

Trying to gain control of wildfire

A firefighting helicopter drops water on a wildfire in the Angeles National Forest north of Glendora, Calif., on Monday. A day after the wildfire broke out near a campground and forced the evacuation of thousands of campers and picnickers, it had grown to more than 4,100 acres, or roughly 6 square miles, and was just 5 percent contained.

LAPLACE, La. — At the urging of residents who have long felt forgotten in the shadow of more densely populated New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers says it will look into whether the city’s fortified defenses pushed floodwaters into outlying areas. However, the Corps has said it’s unlikely scientific analysis will confirm that theory suggested not only by locals, but by some of the state’s most powerful politicians. Instead, weather experts say a unique set of circumstances about the storm — not the floodwalls surrounding the New Orleans metro area — had more to do with flooding

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR

neighborhoods that in recent years have never been under water because of storm surge. Isaac was a large, slow-moving storm that wobbled across the state’s coast for about two and a half days, pumping water into back bays and lakes and leaving thousands of residents under water outside the massive levee system protecting metropolitan New Orleans. It was blamed for seven deaths and damaged thousands of homes on the Gulf Coast. The Corps’ study was prompted by the suggestion that Isaac’s surge bounced off the levees and floodgates built since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and walloped communities outside the city’s ramparts. Blaming the Army Corps of Engi-

neers is nothing new in southern Louisiana, a region that is both dependent on the Corps and by instinct distrustful of an agency that wields immense power in this world of harbors, wetlands, rivers and lakes, all of which fall under the agency’s jurisdiction. The Corps was roundly criticized after Hurricane Katrina, which pushed in enough water to break through the levees that had surrounded New Orleans. Much of the city was left underwater, and since then the government has spent millions rebuilding the system of floodwalls protecting the metro area. Before that, the Corps was blamed for the unraveling of coastal marshes by erecting levees on the Mississippi River. In towns like the bedroom communi-

ty of LaPlace, people want answers. There, communities were under water even though they had never before flooded because of storm surge. “It has a lot of us questioning,” said Ed Powell, a 47-year-old airport emergency worker who’s lived in LaPlace for 15 years and had never seen flooding on his street until Isaac hit. On Friday, U.S. Sen. David Vitter asked the Corps to commission an independent study to determine if the new floodwalls, gates and higher levees around greater New Orleans caused water to stack up elsewhere. In a statement, the corps said it expects the study will find “minimal” changes in surge elevation because of its works around New Orleans. It based that assessment on previous modeling. The agency said it would not comment further until the scientific work is done.

Second Mile wins delay

he Pennsylvania charity for troubled youths started by convicted T pedophile Jerry Sandusky has won

court approval to delay its plan to shut down and transfer programs and assets to a Texas ministry. A judge gave permission to The Second Mile on Tuesday to postpone the transfer plan until the resolution of any damage claims filed by lawyers for Sandusky’s victims. The charity was financially crippled by the child sex abuse scandal involving Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach convicted in June of 45 counts of sexual abuse. The Second Mile intends to shift programs and millions of dollars in assets to Houston-based Arrow Child & Family Ministries Inc.

Discussions held to ease tensions over possible Israeli military strike against Iran.

Bomber kills 25 at funeral

A suicide bomber killed at least 25 civilians and wounded another 30 at a funeral for a village elder in a remote part of eastern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said. Ahmad Zia Abdul Zai, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said the attack took place on Tuesday in the village of Shagai in the Durbaba district of eastern Nangarhar province. He and other officials said at least 25 people were killed. Latifullah, the police chief’s secretary who goes by one name, said the target was apparently Durbaba district chief Hamisha Gul, who was attending the funeral for the village chief and ranking elder. Gul survived the attack, said deputy police chief for Nangarhar province, Jamil Shamal, but his son was killed when he tried to stop the bomber by grabbing him. WASHINGTON

Social Security well armed

It didn’t take long for the Internet to start buzzing with conspiracy theories after the Social Security Administration posted a notice it was purchasing 174,000 hollow-point bullets. Why is an agency that provides benefits to 56 million retirees, disabled workers, widows and children stockpiling ammunition? One website suggested the agency was preparing for civil unrest. And comedian Jay Leno wondered just which senior citizens the agency believes are about to storm its offices. It turns out the bullets are for nearly 300 agents who investigate Social Security fraud and made almost 600 arrests last year. Most of the ammo will be expended on the firing range. NEW YORK

Ex-Komen VP pens book

Former Susan G. Komen for the Cure vice president Karen Handel has written a blistering insider’s account of the cancer charity’s decision to halt grants to Planned Parenthood and its swift retreat in the face of an intense backlash. Titled “Planned Bullyhood” and due for publication Sept. 11, the book depicts Planned Parenthood as a partisan organization willing to weaken Komen to further a liberal political agenda. However, Handel — a conservative who resigned from Komen after its reversal — also assails Komen’s leadership as indecisive and politically naïve. Komen had been under pressure from anti-abortion groups to end the grants because of Planned Parenthood’s role in providing abortions.

Flight to safety gains urgency By BASSEM MROUE and JOHN HEILPRIN Associated Press

BEIRUT — More than 100,000 Syrians fled their country in August, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in March 2011, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday. That exodus sharply increased the number of Syrians now living in neighboring countries, bringing the total number of refugees to 234,368 in the past 17 months, the agency said. Along with activists’ reports that the death toll in August was also the highest in the civil war with 5,000 killed, all signs are pointing to unprecedented levels of misery in a country where President Bashar Assad’s regime is fighting an increasingly violent rebellion. “If you do the math, it’s quite an astonishing number,” U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said of the number of people who fled in August, speaking to reporters Tuesday in Geneva. “And it points to a significant escalation in refugee movement and people seeking asylum, and probably points to a very precarious and violent situation inside the country,” she said. But even the August figure only counts refugees who are registered and those awaiting registration. Officials acknowledge the real number of Syrian refugees is likely way above 200,000, because tens of thousands are believed to have not yet contacted authorities.

Ghassan Khalil holds his sick son Monday at the border crossing.

The uprising began with largely peaceful protests of Assad’s regime but has turned into a civil war that activists say has killed at least 23,000 people. As Syrians look to escape the bloodshed, Assad told the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday that the group is welcome to operate in Syria — as long as it remains “neutral and independent,” state media

reported. Assad has accused the international community of conspiring to unseat him. ICRC spokeswoman Rabab al-Rafai did not give further details about Assad’s meeting with Peter Maurer in Damascus but said the Red Cross chief also met Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad and the head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. “President Assad confirmed Syria welcomes the humanitarian operations that the organization is conducting on the ground in Syria as long as it works in a neutral and independent way,” the staterun SANA news agency quoted Assad as saying. Maurer’s three-day visit, which began Monday, comes as the need for humanitarian assistance grows increasingly urgent. According to the U.N. refugee agency, there are now more than 80,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey.

Ex-SEAL’s book contains secrets, Pentagon says By LOLITA C. BALDOR and KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A former Navy SEAL’s insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classified information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations. Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his force Tuesday that “hawk-

ing details about a mission” and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk. “For an elite force that should be humble and disciplined for life, we are certainly not appearing to be so,” Pybus wrote in a letter to the roughly 8,000 troops under his command. “We owe our chain of command much better than this.” The letter was obtained by The Associated Press. At the Pentagon, press sec-

retary George Little said an official review of the book, “No Easy Day,” determined it reveals what he called “sensitive and classified” information. He was not more specific but said the author was required to submit the book to the Pentagon before publication for a formal review. “When you have special operations units that perform these missions, there are tactics, techniques, and procedures, not to mention human life, that are in play,” Little said. “And it is the height of ir-

responsibility not to have this kind of material checked for the possible disclosure of classified information.” He told reporters during a briefing the Pentagon is still reviewing what legal options should be taken. Pybus, in his letter, was more direct, saying that, “We must immediately reconsider how we properly influence our people in and out of uniform NOT to seek inappropriate monetary, political, or celebrity profit from their service” with the SEALS.

JERUSALEM — Israeli officials said Tuesday they are in close discussions with the United States over how to deal with the Iranian nuclear program, seeking to ease tensions that have emerged between the two allies over a possible Israeli military strike against Iran. The dialogue, in which Israel is looking for President Barack Obama to take a tough public position against Iran, suggests the odds of an Israeli attack in the near term have been reduced. Israel, convinced that Iran isn’t taking seriously U.S. vows to block it from acquiring nuclear weapons, believes that time to stop the Iranians is quickly running out. A series of warnings by Israeli officials in recent weeks has raised concerns that Israel could soon stage a unilateral military strike. In response, senior American officials have made clear they oppose any Israeli military action at the current time. After tense exchanges with the Americans, Israeli political and defense officials said Tuesday that the sides are now working closely together in hopes of getting their positions in sync. Clearer American assurances on what pressure it is prepared to use against Iran, including possible military action, would reduce the need for Israel to act alone, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a security matter. There was no immediate American comment Tuesday, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu huddled with his security cabinet for a daylong briefing by military intelligence on Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu has criticized the international community for failing to curb Iran’s nuclear program. In recent days, he has called for the world to set a clear “red line” for the Iranians. His comments were seen as veiled criticism of President Barack Obama. Israel has not publicly defined its own red lines, which might include a deadline for Iran to open its facilities to U.N. inspectors or a determination that Iran has definitively begun enriching uranium to a weapons-grade level. Israel believes Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, a charge the Iranians deny. White House press secretary Jay Carney on Sunday played down any differences, saying “there is absolutely no daylight between the United States and Israel when it comes to the necessity of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.”

FUNERAL FOR FALLEN TROOPER

COURT BRIEF

Gregory Fann, 49, of Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty, faces predator assessment. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

ED LEWIS/THE TIMES LEADER

aw enforcement officers from Luzerne, Schuylkill and Columbia counties and officials L from the state capital police department in Harrisburg attended the funeral for state police Trooper Royce E. Engler on Tuesday. Engler, 27, of Dorrance Township, died from

injuries in a motorcycle crash in Montour Township near Bloomsburg on Aug. 29. Engler was off-duty when he was killed. Engler was assigned at the Troop N barracks of the state police based in West Hazleton. His father, Royce Engler, is the police chief in Wright Township. Engler’s services were held at the George A. Strish Funeral Home, Main Street, Ashley, where a two-mile procession of police cruisers lined up on Manhattan Street. Services were held in St. James Lutheran Church in Mountain Top. Engler was buried in Emmanuel Cemetery in Dorrance Township.

W-B Twp. property owners get W-B Area tax extension By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – WilkesBarre Area School District residents who own property in Wilkes-Barre Township – and only Wilkes-Barre Township – have an extra two weeks to pay their district property taxes and still qualify for a 2 percent discount. To encourage prompt payment, the district offers a 2 percent discount if taxes are paid by a deadline set each year. This year the deadline in Wilkes-Barre Area is Sept. 13. For most residents, that hasn’t changed. But in Wilkes-Barre Township,

the deadline has been pushed to Oct. 1. The move was made because the company hired to collect the property taxes in the township – Don Wilkinson Agency – has gone out of business and Berkheimer Associates was hired to do the job. The Wilkinson Agency had sent out bills and started collecting taxes in the township, but ran into problems and closed its doors. At a special meeting last week, the School Board voted to turn the collection contract over to Berkheimer. Wilkinson had already arranged to transfer collec-

tion paperwork and duties to Berkheimer, so the board vote was largely procedural. The board also voted to extend the discount deadline for township property owners. But the Sept. 13 deadline remains in effect for property owners in other municipalities within the district, because Berkheimer was already handling collection everywhere except Wilkes-Barre Township. Berkheimer will be sending out new bills to township residents, along with a letter explaining the change, District Business Manager Leonard Przywara said.

The shift should not affect those who opted to pay their taxes in three installments, Przywara said, because the first installment was due last month. Berkheimer may ask those who have already made tax payments to provide a check number so the company can follow up and make sure the books are in order, he added.

WILKES-BARRE – A city man was sentenced Tuesday to 14 years probation on possession of child pornography charges. Gregory Fann, 49, of Maple Lane, pleaded guilty to six counts of possession of child pornography. Fann was charged after police searched his home in connection with homicide charges his son, Gregory Fann Jr., faced in 2008. Senior Judge Joseph Augello said Fann will be required to register his address under Megan’s Law for a period of 10 years and will undergo an evaluation by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment board to determine if he is a sexually violent predator. Augello said if Fann is determined to be a predator, he will have to register under Megan’s Law for his entire life. Fann, a karate teacher, also will have to inform his clients and their parents of the Megan’s Law requirements and have their signature in writing acknowledging they understand Fann has committed related offenses. Fann was charged after state police said they uncovered the child pornography on computers and compact discs inside Fann’s locked bedroom while investigating the deadly shooting of Aaron

WILKES-BARRE – A Scranton man was sentenced to 18 months probation for his role in an assault on two people in Wilkes-Barre in August 2011 Judge Fred Pierantoni sentenced Jesus Cervantes, 33, of Church Avenue, on a charge of simple assault. Cervantes’ attorney, Mark Singer, said his client is not a U.S. citizen, and his immigration status may be affected by the conviction. Cervantes said Tuesday, through an interpreter, he is in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. According to court papers, Pablo Sosa and Theresa Velazquez said they were in their Moyallen Street residence on Aug. 3, 2011 when they heard banging at the front door. Sosa opened the door and was allegedly struck by Gabriel Nieves. Sosa said David Nieves and Cervantes hit him in the head and body with weapons, the complaints say. Police said Velazquez tried to stop the fight but was pulled from the house by Jenny Nieves, Lydia Nieves and Lisa Nieves and beaten. David Nieves, 25, of Midland Court, was placed into the ARD program for one year in June. Several others involved have also been sentenced.

Witko, 19, of Tunkhannock, under the Wilkes-Barre Railroad Connecting Bridge in Edwardsville on May 29, 2008. Fann’s son, Gregory Fann, 25, was convicted in the killing of Witko after a non-jury trial before Luzerne County Judge Joseph Augello in February 2010. The younger Fann was sentenced to life in prison. “We moved here to get out of a bad situation,” the elder Fann said before being sentenced Tuesday. “And we’re still dealing with bad situations.” Fann said he moved here from New Jersey with the intent to stay only a short while before moving elsewhere, and he hopes to eventually undo the bad name his family has been given. Fann’s attorney, Mark Singer, noted no allegations had been made against Fann regarding his karate clients. Singer also said Fann has no prior criminal record. Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi said she had no objection to a probationary sentence for Fann, but asked that it be a lengthy one and that Fann have no unsupervised contact with minors. Fann must complete sexual offender’s treatment, Augello said. Fann had also been indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2009 on child pornography charges. He had faced several years in prison on those charges. Those charges were eventually withdrawn by prosecutors.

family Sunday, September 2, 2012, at Hospice Community Care, located in Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre. Born in Kingston on May 1, 1928, he was a son of Philip and Anna Orlando Ansilio. Phil was a graduate of Kingston High School, class of 1946, where he excelled in football as a half-back and was active with many student clubs. Upon graduation, he attended Wyoming Seminary. Phil resided in Dallas since 1963. He was a member of Gate of Heaven Church, an avid golfing member of Fox Hill Country Club, and participated in bowling leagues. He traveled the world with his wife, Joan, and spent many happy times with close friends. Phil was a hard-working entrepreneur throughout his career and made significant contributions to the local economy. His first business as a young man was as a huckster, selling produce with his father and brother. The family later opened California Fruit Markets, with locations in Kingston, Dallas and West Pittston. In the ’60s, Phil partnered with his father, brother, Tom, and brother-in-law, Ted Popielarz, and established California Flower Company. This manufacturing firm, located in West Pittston, produced and sold artificial flower items to supermarket, discount and drug store chains across the country. Together with his brother Phil traveled to Hong Kong and China for 25 years to import flowers, making strong connections with the Asian marketplace. Phil enjoyed retirement with his beloved wife, Joan, and for many years, spent nine months in Dallas, and the cold winter months at their home in Boca Raton, Fla. His greatest enjoyment was sharing family meals followed by a card game. Phil’s grandsons were his

pride and joy, and he was the most dedicated fan at their sporting and scholastic events. Phil will be deeply missed by his wife, Joan Hines, with whom he celebrated 61 years of marriage; his daughter, Terry; son-in-law, Stephen Clemente; grandsons, Michael and Jeffrey. He is also survived by a brother, Tom Ansilio, and his wife, Louise; sister-in-law, Bev, and her husband, John Williams; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents, his sister, Laura Popielarz; and brother-inlaw, Ted Popielarz; preceded him in death. Phil leaves a legacy of how to love and live a life with passion.

Disque Funeral Home Inc., 2940 Memorial Highway, Dallas, with funeral Mass at 9:30 a.m. at Gate of Heaven Church, Dallas, with the Rev. Daniel Toomey, officiating. Interment will be in Mt.

State is probing methane in home

Trailer in area where DEP determined gas driller had contaminated aquifer. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

DIMOCK TWP. -- The state Department of Environmental Protection is investigating a reported spike in methane levels inside a trailer in Dimock early Saturday morning and whether there is an association with nearby natural gas development. DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said the department was contacted after a methane alarm sounded in the home occupied by William and Tamara Horn of Carter Road around midnight Friday into Saturday. She said one of the residents voluntarily went to a local hospital for evaluation. The trailer is owned by Ron and Jean Carter of Carter Road. Methane levels in the home had dissipated by the time DEP investigators arrived Saturday afternoon, but the department has opened an investigation and will review samples collected by a private environmental testing company hired by the family and by Cabot Oil and Gas. The home is in an area where DEP had previously determined Cabot had contaminated the aquifer with high levels of methane. The department later determined the company had met its obligations under a consent order and agreement and gave Cabot approval to stop bulk water deliveries to the area. Cabot was given approval to resume hydraulic fracturing in Dimock at the end of August. Cabot spokesman George Stark said Tuesday the company has not yet resumed fracturing there. Stark said Cabot took readings and found no detectable amounts of methane in the house or around the structure and no evidence of a hazardous situation. The company took water samples and is awaiting test results. Connolly said DEP’s investigation is “looking at all areas,” including possible links to gas drilling and to the history of naturally occurring methane migration in the region.

A mom’s search goes on Teenager Briyanna Miles fled her Wilkes-Barre home two weeks ago after an argument.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Rosalind Franklin has been canvassing the South Wilkes-Barre neighborhood where her 14-year-old daughter, Briyanna Miles, was last seen two weeks ago. Franklin said she was told the girl has been abused by a few men, who she claims are moving her daughter around to different houses. “We don’t know where she is,” Franklin said Tuesday, two weeks to the day when her daughter fled her Spring Street home after an argument with her father, Lovelle Young, about cleaning her bed-

room on Aug. 21. “We as a family are grieving and want to know where she is.” Franklin has posted flyers in Miles Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and Edwardsville about Miles’ disappearance. Franklin reported her daughter missing to Wilkes-Barre police but feels law enforcement is not doing its best to find her. She said police did search a house in the 100 block of Sambourne Street and learned her daughter had stayed there after she left her residence. “We’ve been out looking for her until 3:30 in the morning on some nights,” Franklin said. “We’ve been told she was at the Sambourne Street house and at a

house on South Franklin Street.” Franklin said she was also told Miles was seen getting into a gray Infiniti outside a store in Edwardsville in recent days. Miles does not use Facebook or Twitter and had her cellphone taken from her, Franklin said. Franklin said police have Miles’ cellphone. Franklin is hosting a march to raise awareness to find Miles this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. at Kirby Park and proceeding to Public Square. Police did not release information about their search for Miles, who left her home wearing a white tank top, black and white stone wash jeans, and black flat shoes. Anyone with information about Miles is asked to call Wilkes-Barre police at 826-8106 or 911.

second-floor porch off her apartment above the restaurant in the early morning hours Aug. 26, 2011. Since then, the process of rebuilding has slowly moved forward and now construction is in full operation. Greenfield said the decision to come back didn’t require a lot of thought. “It just happened,” she said. “I’ve been busy with my catering business, but I’m looking forward to reopening the restaurant. “Some days I’m thrilled; some days I think I’m crazy,” Greenfield said. “It’s been a difficult, difficult year.” She hasn’t planned her menu yet, but customers will surely be able to choose from their

past favorites. Greenfield has owned the restaurant that first opened in 1935 for 27 years. She notes other family-owned “momand-pop” restaurants have closed, like Hottle’s in WilkesBarre. “The economy has had an effect,” she said. “A lot of people go to the chain restaurants.” Greenfield was busy over the Labor Day weekend at her at La Festa Italiana stand in Scranton. “We worked three 20-hour days,” she said. “We had to prepare, sell and clean up every day.” Greenfield said most of her 20 or so Grico’s employees are coming back. She said she may have to hire a few new people. She was voted “Best Chef” by an area publication in 2008, and her tomato sauce won the “Sauce Wars” at the Pittston Tomato Festival in 2009.

Swoyersville must update ordinances to get cash By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

SWOYERSVILLE – Borough council must make minor changes to two ordinances to apply for grant money from the state Department of Environmental Protection. Both the recycling and refuse ordinances now include outdated language. The term “refuse” now includes grass, glass and cardboard, items that now must be recycled.

“These ordinances were passed years ago and do need to be amended,” said borough Secretary Gene Breznay said Tuesday. A proposed ordinance directing these changes had its first reading and is expected to succeed at October’s meeting. In another matter, council addressed a neglected property at 430 Slocum St. Zoning Officer Joe Ruscavage said he spoke to the owner and directed him to clean up and main-

tain the property. He said that although the grass had been cut, it still was out of compliance with borough ordinances and remained condemned. Solicitor Joseph Yeager said that if the property was not brought into compliance, he would “file something with the magistrate.” Council also accepted the resignation of police Cpl. Ethan Wentzel, who has accepted a position with the state police.

OUR OPINION: 9/11 DAY

What good deed will you perform?

N TUESDAY’S somber anniversary of the September 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States, you can take solace in these two things: 1) The presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will not air election advertisements, a welcome if short-lived moratorium on political posturing that’s intended as a show of national unity. (If only those mud-slinging super PACs would follow suit.) 2) Millions of people around the globe – and hopefully as near as your house – will perform good deeds and acts of kindness to commemorate the victims at ground zero and beyond, rekindling the sort of selfless giving that motivated many Americans on that dreadful day 11 years ago. Both these positive developments can be credited to the same organization, MyGoodDeed.org. The nonprofit fosters the notion of marking 9/11 Day each year with charitable service. About 33 million people participated last year, according to its estimate. The Times Leader began promoting this campaign in its early years, when the

movement was known as One Day’s Pay and organizers hoped to spur 2 million people into action. This September’s participants are asked to register their support on a website, accessible at www.911day.org. The site includes “teaching tools” with age-appropriate lessons for students, toolkits for groups and a registration area for individuals to make a pledge of “I will …” For example, I will volunteer at an area food pantry. I will thank a firefighter for protecting my community. I will be patient with my peers. I will help my older neighbor by mowing his lawn. I will read to children at the local library. I will extend compassion to a stranger in need. On Tuesday, to memorialize the lives lost as well as the shining examples of humanity and bravery that resulted, what will you do? It’s a question – and a commemoration – you should not ignore.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Republicans are not helping us get back.” Elizabeth Warren The Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts made the case on morning talk shows earlier this week for President Obama to be re-elected and continue working to revive the economy. The president is expected to champion his own cause Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN 2012

Obama had better alter his agenda

“

YOU CAN ONLY run on hope and change once,” a top political adviser to Mitt Romney said last week. Therein lies the challenge for President Obama as Democrats assemble in Charlotte to nominate him for a second term in the White House. With the nation gripped by joblessness and the fear that this economic decline is permanent, Obama and his party need to find a new message to convince voters that he deserves four more years. This is a far more daunting task than they faced in 2008, when the economy was entering a steep dive and U.S. combat troops were fully engaged in two wars that were sapping the nation’s strength and morale. At that time, the collapse convinced voters that a young newcomer to national politics could steer the nation back to prosperity. Today, the young, fresh-faced senator who vowed to deliver on a range of promises has become a battlescarred incumbent. By all means, Obama should defend his record. There’s EDITORIAL BOARD

nothing wrong with bragging about getting bin Laden. It ain’t bragging if it’s true. He inherited a recession deeper than any since the Great Depression, and by any measure the economy is stronger today than it was in 2008, when 4.4 million jobs were lost during President Bush’s last year in office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And, yes, his task has been made immeasurably harder by the unprecedented level of obstruction from congressional Republicans. But there has to be more to a presidential campaign than blaming the other guys for everything. Americans are looking for someone who can inspire a sense of purpose and optimism, precisely what Obama did last time around but has failed to deliver lately. This week, he must unveil a new approach, one that promises to yield more progress. No one wants a replay of the last four years. The Miami Herald

support the new Pittston noise ordinance. With the sound equipment available today, having the wrong kind of neighbor can be a living hell. This is something I have experienced firsthand and, believe me, it is rough when you cannot open your windows in the summertime. People need to have some control. Dogs and cats also are a problem. Some residents have two or more dogs and multiple cats. Barking dogs can be a noise problem, but multiple cats running free can be a serious health problem. They can carry fleas and disease, potentially making them a danger to humans and other cats. Pittston has a good ordinance for this problem, but it must be enforced. We also need some type of construction ordinance. There are people who hammer and run a power saw, especially on Sundays, for projects lasting five or more years. We must be able to have peace and quiet sometime. There must be a time limit, especially in a residential area. I urge the Pittston council to pass the noise ordinance. Other communities have noise ordinances, why not Pittston? J. Ross Pittston

Writer praises Mundy for real ideas, solutions

he following statement on the website of state Rep. Phyllis Mundy’s election opponent tells voters all they need to know about him: “Pennsylvania state legislators receive $163 a day – on top of their salaries – just for showing up to work.” Anybody who has traveled on employerrelated business knows that per diems are not bonuses for “showing up to work,” but flat reimbursements for reasonable and necessary lodging, meals and similar expenses. Their purpose is to save the employer the expense of processing itemized receipts, which would on average probably equal the per diem. It is therefore impossible to “misuse” a per diem, despite what this Web page says. The fact that Mundy’s opponent needs to insult the intelligence of voters with arguments of this nature suggests that he has little to offer the 120th District or Pennsylvania in terms of genuine ideas or constructive solutions. Thoughts on genuine health care reform are, for example, conspicuously absent from his website. Mundy has, in contrast, played a leading role in developing and introducing nonpartisan and science-based legislation to address the root causes of rising health care costs. The effect of this legislation is to encourage health care providers to implement quality management systems,

which would in turn reduce health care costs by 30 to 60 percent while eliminating 80 percent or more of all medical errors, hospital-acquired infections and other harm to patients. Both the American Society for Quality and the Automotive Industry Action Group have advocated this approach. Mundy approaches issues from an impartial and scientific, rather than a partisan or ideological, perspective. This is a characteristic that is far too rare among legislators, although state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski (121st District) is another example. This is why both of these legislators deserve our votes in November. William A. Levinson Wilkes-Barre

Dems use dirty tactics to misrepresent Romney

etter writer Patricia Snyder, I feel badly that you apparently have been so misinformed (“Reader has bad feeling about Romney’s bid,” Aug. 20). I don’t blame you, as I might believe the same if I had not researched further, and if I still believed everything the mainstream media report. If I demanded that you show me your financial records and you refused, I then could proclaim: “Patricia must be hiding something sinister. She cannot be trusted.” That’s based solely on the fact that you refused to show me something that you were within your rights not to show me. No, you are not running for president, but the point is that I would have given the “illusion” that you are hiding something when you are only protecting your rights. I would simply be a bully who wanted to disparage your name and used dirty tactics to do that. President Barack Obama knows that Romney has shown everything that he is required to show, but because he has almost totally destroyed our economy, these dirty tactics are all he has left. And it’s sad that his tactics seemingly have worked on unsuspecting people. What do we actually know about Obama? Very little! I am also a senior citizen, far from wealthy, and I used to be a Democrat until I caught on to their lies, deception and manipulation – using fear to make us believe that the opposition will hurt us,

Lawmakers needn’t worry about benefits

read the article “System fixable, but choices tough” (Aug. 21) by Associated Press writer Stephen Ohlemacher with a great deal of interest. This letter will address only one of the many concerns that I have had for years about the Social Security fix. Why do our legislators and hopefuls always talk about saving a system that is funded by the people who will receive this money upon retirement? The folks who pay in have never “raided” the fund for pet projects. Left alone, the system can and will work. What I found missing or lacking in the statements by the current and contending legislators is that there is no mention of their retirement benefits. In fact, I have never heard mention that these benefits might run out or “evaporate.” So I pose this question to all who seek to retain or gain public office: Who do you think pays for your benefits? The sad part, America, is that these folks need to serve only six years to qualify for lifetime benefits, again, without the fear of the fund becoming bankrupt. That’s one senatorial term or three terms in the House. Can we have Ohlemacher or one of The Times Leader’s reporters follow up with these concerns? Emory Guffrovich Pittston

Reader chides center for failing to keep doctor

t is a great sadness that The Henry Cancer Center at Geisinger Wyoming Valley has let a prestigious oncologist such as Dr. Rodrigo Erlich slip through its fingers. He brought to our area a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Many patients traveled out of state to seek his unique methods of treatment. My husband was diagnosed three years ago with pancreatic cancer – told by his physician to get his affairs in order. Today he is doing very well, only one of many examples. Dr. Erlich apparently is more vocal than most at the center in protecting his patients’ regimens of treatments and too often criticized for it. Shame on the nonexpert “suits” for not putting their differences aside. Rosalie Popeck Hunlock Creek

those who defaulted on a prior payment plan within the last three years. Brominski said he sympathizes with property owners facing financial difficulties but said all tax collectors should be current on their own properties because urging timely payment is one of their primary duties. He raised the tax delinquency issue at last week’s county council meeting during a discussion on options for county tax collection. County officials have been stressing the need for all tax collectors to strive for high collection rates. Some tax collectors contact property owners by phone to remind them to pay. The county’s new home rule government gives council the power to stop using 69 elected tax collectors or reduce their pay. Elected tax collectors are paid $3.50 per bill. Council members said they need more research and discussion before voting on the matter. A decision must be made by the end of the year because tax collector seats are on the ballot in 2013.

ORTY FORT – Go ahead; try not to smile with a guinea pig named Ringo on your back. Maggie Hornung beamed like a little cherub as the class pet gave new meaning to the term “piggy back” during the official start of Wyoming Seminary’s new “toddler program” Tuesday, nestling briefly on the back of the youngster sprawled on the floor. Soft carpet under you and fuzzy fur ball on top? Maybe they’ve invented a new relaxation technique. The new program takes in children from 18 months to 3 years old, up to five days a week – the school is flexible on how many days a child shows up, as long as the total count per day stays at 10 tykes, Director of Admissions Katie Callahan said. That’s five for each of the two teachers. The goal is to give the toddlers early lessons in independence, self care and social skills, as well as a head start in their education. “She’s already learning letters,”

Gigi Ruderman, 23 months, visits with her mom, Katie Callahan. Callahan is the director of admissions at the school.

one proud mother said while watching her child through a one-way window set up to let parents check on their children without being seen. That’s one of the features built into a converted home next to Wyoming Seminary’s Lower School, which now houses both the new toddler program and the existing pre-school for 3- and 4year-olds. There’s also a changing station with hide-a-way stairs the youngsters can use to get onto, a kid-size bathroom area separated by a wall high enough for toddler

privacy but still allowing adult supervision, and alarms on the exterior doors that give a gentle but firm notice someone is leaving. And there’s a super-soft play area outside, made of artificial turf on top of extra bouncy rubber. Maggie headed straight for the Playskool cop car. Cash Harrison opted for the pint-size sliding board, only he didn’t want to take time running around the back to the ladder; he started working his way up the slide before turning around at the top and enjoying the descent. The new early education building – officially dubbed “Arlington House” – sits across the Lower School parking lot, fronting Arlington Road. It currently handles 13 toddlers and 19 pre-school children. Along with a full day of activities from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., there is beforeschool care beginning at 8 a.m. and after-school care until 5:30 p.m., Callahan said. Being the class pet, Ringo attends full-time.

and describing herself as the “mom in chief,” made no mention of Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But those who preceded her to the podium on the first night of the president’s convention were scathing. “If Mitt were president, he’d fire the reindeer and outsource the elves,” declared former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland in one biting speech. Tapped to deliver the keynote address, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro said Romney was a millionaire politician who “quite simply, doesn’t get it” when it comes to the needs of the middle class. Referring to the Republican’s support for mandatory health insurance when he was governor of Massachusetts, he added, “Gov. Romney has undergone an extreme makeover, and it ain’t pretty.” Polls made the race for the White House a tight one, almost certain to be decided in a string of eight or10 battleground states where neither the president nor Romney holds a clear advantage. There was ample evidence during the day of an underperforming economy, including a report that said manufacturing activity declined for a third straight month and the government’s debt exceeded $16 trillion at the close of the business day. There was no end to the appeals for donations to Obama’s re-election campaign, falling further behind Romney in cash on hand with each passing month. “If you think Barack’s the right man for the job, please show your support with a donation of $5 or more today,” the first lady emailed supporters a little more than 90 minutes before her speech. She walked out to the crowd’s cheers as the band played Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours,” the song he sang onstage at Obama’s Denver convention ifour years ago. “Believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” she told the convention. “We were so young, so in love and so in debt.” She confided that at family dinners in the White House with her and their daughters, the president joins in “strategizing about middle school friendships.” Mrs. Obama’s poll numbers are better than her husband’s, and her speech was aimed at building support for him, much as Ann Romney’s remarks at last week’s Republican National Convention were in service to her husband’s presidential ambitions. “When it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad — who worked at a municipal water plant — and his own grandmother, a bank secretary,” the first lady said. Referring to her own children as well as those of others, she said, “If we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility, that belief that here in America there is always something better out there if you are willing to work for it, then we must ... stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward, my husband, our president, President Barack Obama.” Castro, the first Hispanic chosen to deliver a keynote address, was unsparing in criticizing Romney, suggesting the former Massachusetts governor might not even be the driving force on the GOP ticket. “First they called it ‘trickle down, the supply side,’ ” he said of the economic proposals backed by Republicans. “Now it’s Romney/Ryan. Or is it Ryan/Romney?” “Either way, their theory has been tested. It failed. ...Mitt Romney just doesn’t get it,” Castro said. Romney’s running mate is Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Republicans did their best to rain on Obama’s convention, whatever the weather. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan spoke in Westlake, Ohio, standing behind a lectern bearing a sign that read “Are you better off?” Republicans released a web video that interspersed images of Obama and the economy’s weak performance with slightly out-of-focus video clips of former President Jimmy Carter discussing the nation’s economic woes when sat in the Oval Office more than 30 years ago.

Energy Services was “obviously… disappointed” with the board’s decision, but said the decision of whethertoappealtherulingwouldbemadebyUGI after reviewing the important facts of that ruling. Reached by email after the meeting, UGI Energy Services spokeswoman Lillian Harris said the company “will be considering an appeal of the decision.” “UGIES continues to maintain that this project is beneficial to the Wyoming Valley and it will be pursuing the project to fruition,” Harris said. Harris and Persico said UGI considered a number of possible station locations and selected the West Wyoming site because its proximity to the both the Transco pipeline and the Saylor Avenue facility would provide for an efficient flow of gas. “As the testimony explained at the last hearing, thatnotonlywasaremotearea,butanefficientarea as well,” Persico said. The many residents of West Wyoming and surrounding communities opposed to the project, however, took issue with UGI’s characterization of the site as remote. “I think it’s more just a nice quiet neighborhood; it’s not a remote area,” said Janice Metzo, a Fire Cut Road resident whose property borders Kalinosky’s. “An industrial park would be more appropriate – somewhere where there’s not so many people.” “This is important for the future of my grandchildren,”saidMarionPacovski,anotherFireCutRoad resident who lives just over the West Wyoming border in Kingston Township. “Hopefully, they’re going to be someday living where I’m living and we don’t want this industrial activity in our area.

opponents of the project, area residents also expressed concerns about the volume of emissions the station would produce, its potential impact on public health, its effect on property values, emergency access routes and storm-water runoff. Nancy Dolan of Exeter, a member of Luzerne County Citizens for Clean Air, challenged the location of the facility in an agricultural district on zoning grounds at that meeting. “My hope is that UGI as a responsible corporation considers the message the people have sent and looks for a reasonable alternative for the placement of a polluting facility like this,” Dolan said after Tuesday’s meeting. The West Wyoming Borough Council and state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, also publicly opposed the project. “The residents of West Wyoming were not in favor of this, so we’re pleased with the decision,” West Wyoming Council President Eileen Cipriani

said. At least one area resident attending Tuesday’s meeting, though, said he supported UGI’s plan and was disappointed with the board’s decision. Wayne Weaver of Northmoreland Township, Wyoming County, said he has signed a gas lease but thinks the delayscausedtoprojectslikethepipelinelessenthe likelihood that a well will be drilled on his property. He added that Kalinosky should have the right to use his property as he sees fit. “He owned that property; he paid taxes on it, and people who had nothing to do with it shouldn’t be able to tell him what to do with it,” Weaver said. UGI’s compressor station would also require approval from Luzerne County Planning Commission, the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Luzerne Conservation District, but UGI cannot begin building the compressor station without zoning approval. Natural gas pipelines do not require zoning approval.

Kusakavitch fired a blast from just inside the circle into the goal for a 1-0 lead. “As soon as I got the ball, I saw their left side was very strong,” Ell said. “So I looked to our left side and Marnie was there, so I fired it up to her.

WILKES-BARRE – With under 2 minutes to go in Tuesday’s match, Coughlin’s Travis Keil had an opportunity to give his team the lead. Unfortunately for the sophomore, his shot was off target, sailing over the net. Less than a minute later, he had another chance that was nearly identical to the first. This time, he COUGHLIN connected from about 15 yards out with CRESTWOOD 54 seconds remaining in the game to lead the Crusaders to a 2-1 victory over Crestwood in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division I showdown at the Bog. “After I missed that easy (goal) right there, I put my head down … I was frustrated. Then I just decided there’s under a minute to go, it’s time,” said Kiel, who was mobbed by his teammates while walking off the field at the end of the match. “I just kept my head down because coach always tells us to keep your head down when you shoot and it just went in.” The season-opening win for Coughlin (1-0) came three days after the Comets (1-1) opened their season with a two-goal win over two-time defending division champion Dallas. Coughlin travels to Dallas for another big contest on Thursday. “Every year, everyone’s been getting better (in the conference),” Coughlin senior Justin Okun said. “No team is a cakewalk.” Tuesday’s game was very physical by both sides from the start and there was no letup until the final siren to end the

ankle issues, and they’re not serious, so we’ll have to wait and see. “If they don’t practice by Thursday or Friday, then probably they’ll be out of the game, but right now I would say it’s day-to-day. It’s probable. But again, won’t really know until Thursday.” If Belton is unavailable, senior Derek Day would likely get the start and the Nittany Lions would use a committee approach to the running game. That might include using true freshman Akeel Lynch, who did not play in the opener. “The decision you have to make there (with) a true freshman, if you’re going to play those guys, then you’d better actually play them,” O’Brien said. “So we’re going to see how practice goes this week with Akeel, and we’ll make a decision on that later in the week.” Morris was replaced in the lineup on Saturday by another rookie in Da’Quan Davis, who would likely start in Morris’ place if needed.

the Royals to a two-goal lead. But the Spartans (1-1 WVC) came roaring back. A trio of penalty corners established pressure, and a flurry of shots on the last corner – a blast by Nicole Sott, followed by Sott dishing to Alex Gonda and Maura Anistranski trying to put the rebound home -- led to a penalty stroke. “It was a tad bit different of a game, but we adjusted to it,” Spartans coach Linda Fithian said. Anistranski went low to the stick side to beat Selina Malacari on the stroke for her fourth goal of the season. Six minutes later, Anistranski set up Gonda for her second goal of the season on a tip-in from a corner to knot the game at 2. “It was a very good game,” Fithian said. “We could have scored more, but the goals just weren’t falling for us. It wasn’t from a lack of effort.” Valley West continued to attack, but Malacari was up to the task. Anistranski had her blast from the circle on a corner deflect toward the top corner of the goal. Malacari reached over her head to swat down the high shot. Ell cashed in a rebound of a Melanie Kusakavitch shot with less than two minutes remaining in the first half. “(Melanie) had a very hard low shot and the goalie kicked it right out at me,” Ell said. “The ball was right there, so I lifted it over the goalie (Jocelyn Polney).” Chelsea Skrepenak tapped home a drive by Marnie Kusakavitch in the 52nd minute to establish a second two-goal lead. Valley West battled, but was turned away by the Royals defense the rest of the way. Lily Shemo had a defensive save on a first half corner for the Spartans and Haley Gayoski turned aside a rebound attempt in the second half in support of Polney.

BRIEF

GOLF

Furyk, Stricker among Ryder picks NEW YORK — Davis Love III became the third straight U.S. captain to pick a Ryder Cup rookie, and the first captain since 1997 who had to spend a pick on Jim Furyk. Love filled out his 12-man team Tuesday by selecting Furyk, Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson and Brandt Snedeker, one of four Ryder Cup rookies who will be playing in a team competition for the first time as a pro. Johnson and Snedeker, in effect, played their way onto the team the last two weeks as the only Americans to finish among the top six in both FedEx Cup playoff events. It was a performance that made it difficult for Love to ignore. The Ryder Cup is Sept. 28-30 at Medinah outside Chicago. Even though Europe has dominated this competition since 1995 — it has won six of the last eight times — it has won on U.S. soil only twice in the last 20 years. The eight Americans who qualified three weeks ago were Tiger Woods, Masters champion Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, Keegan Bradley, U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson. COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Tide rolls to poll’s top spot over USC NEW YORK — Alabama is the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll, moving past Southern California after its resounding victory against Michigan. The Crimson Tide swayed more than enough voters with its 41-14 win Saturday night in Texas to overtake the preseason No. 1 Trojans, who beat Hawaii 49-10. USC entered that game a 40-point favorite at home. The Tide receives 45 firstplace votes, up 28 from last week. USC draws 11 first-place votes and No. 3 LSU four. It’s the 47th time Alabama has been No. 1, the 16th under coach Nick Saban. NFL

Browns CB Haden appeals 4-game ban CLEVELAND — Joe Haden’s case remains mysterious and unresolved. The Browns cornerback, and one of Cleveland’s best players, is awaiting word from the NFL on a possible fourgame suspension for failing a drug test. On Tuesday, Browns president Mike Holmgren revealed in a local radio interview that Haden has already had his appeal hearing with the league. Holmgren’s comments were the first confirming Haden’s suspension, which was first reported by espncleveland.com last month. Haden reportedly failed a test for taking Adderall, which is on the league’s banned substance list. NASCAR

Logano will join Penske Racing in ‘13

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Penske Racing announced Tuesday that Joey Logano will join the team in 2013 and drive the No. 22 Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The 22-year-old Logano is a two time Cup Series winner in his fourth full season. He is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing for the seat that opened when AJ Allmendinger was released after a failed drug test. Logano was also the youngest winner in Nationwide Series history when he won at Kentucky at the age of 18 in 2008. A year later, he won at New Hampshire to become the youngest winner ever in Cup Series competition. He was the 2009 Sprint Cup Series rookie of the year.

Bounty bans brought to judge

Redeemer rolls past Patriots

Players Association wants current and former Saints to be able to play this weekend. The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The NFL Players Association has asked a federal judge for a temporary restraining order that would allow players suspended in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation to rejoin their teams in time to play regular season openers. The union, which filed the motion Tuesday on behalf of New Orleans defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, argues the players will suffer irreparable harm if they are forced to miss games while their case against the league proceeds. Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma had already filed

a similar motion when his fullseason suspension began earlier. The other three players’ suspensions began this week. The players ultimately want their suspensions thrown out because they argue the disciplinary process was fundamentally flawed and unfair. U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan, who is hearing the case, has said she found the league’s handling of the bounty matter to be unfair to the players and their punishments excessive, but she has also said she is not yet comfortable that federal courts have jurisdiction to rule on a process that was collectively bargained between the union and the league. She has already indicated, in response to Vilma’s earlier request for a temporary restraining order, that she was inclined to wait until players had exhausted their remedies under the league’s collective bargaining

agreement before she ruled. Still pending on that front is a decision by a three-member panel that last week heard arguments in the NFLPA’s appeal of a system arbitrator Stephen Burbank’s ruling that Commissioner Roger Goodell had the authority both to punish the players and hear their appeal in the bounty matter. The union had argued that because actions alleged in the bounty matter happened on the field, the league’s labor agreement calls for someone other than the commissioner to hear players’ appeals of the commissioner’s disciplinary action. The three-member panel has indicated that it hoped to rule by this week. If it rules in favor of the players, Berrigan would have no reason to act. The NFL has said its investigators have concluded that the Saints ran a bounty program

from the 2009 through 2011 seasons. The league said the program offered improper cash bonuses to defensive players for hits that injured opponents. The players have admitted to a pay-for-performance program for big plays such as turnovers and big, clean hits, which also is banned but cannot be punished by suspensions. However, they have denied, some under oath in federal court, that there was a pay-to-injure program. In addition to the four players suspended, the league also suspended Saints head coach Sean Payton the entire season, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis for half the season, and Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six games. Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who is now with St. Louis and allegedly administered the bounty pool, has been suspended indefinitely.

Crestwood 4, Coughlin 1

CHANCE game. The toughness did seem to affect Crestwood more, however. After already being called for a yellow card earlier in the game, a Comet player was given a second card with about 27 minutes left in the second half. A new PIAA rule states that any player given two yellow cards in the same match will now get a red card, instead of a soft red card. This means the player is disqualified and his team has to play with just 10 on the field instead of 11 the rest of the game. With the soft red, the player was disqualified but didn’t have to sit out the next game and his team wasn’t shorthanded the rest of the game. So the Comets were at a mismatch on the field, but still kept the Crusaders out of net for about 26 minutes by playing defensive-minded with seven players behind the ball. Crestwood even had a few opportunities to try to score, but came up empty during the disadvantage. “We didn’t plan for such a thing. They didn’t know how to adjust to the system once we went to a man down,” Comets coach Pat Upton said. “We knew Coughlin was going to be a tough opponent and the boys played their butts off. They came out. They were prepared. They were hungry. We were just dealt the wrong cards.” Okun scored the match’s first tally with 16:00 remaining in the first half. He was lined up for a free kick and after it ricocheted off a few bodies, he netted the goal from about 20 yards out for a 1-0 lead. “I just shot it and let it go. That’s it,” Okun said. The Comets didn’t waste much time evening the score. A little more than 3 minutes later, John Andrews had control of the ball and with Coughlin keeper Josh Featherman on the near side of the goal, Andrews had a shot and drilled it. Even though he was about 35 yards away, he nailed the shot on the far side of the net to tie the score at 1-1 with 12:45 left in the first half.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Irish radio analyst gets 3-game suspension for ‘criminals’ comment By BRIAN HAMILTON Chicago Tribune

Allen Pinkett will have two more weekends to think about what he said. The Notre Dame radio analyst was suspended two more games without pay after com-

ments last week that it was good to have a few "criminals" on a football team. Sitting out the Irish’s opener against Navy was considered part of a threegame suspension in total. "After careful deliberation and thorough discussion, we

believe the right decision is to allow a truly repentant Allen Pinkett an opportunity to return to the booth beginning with the fourth game of the college football season," the Notre Dame IMG Radio Network said in a statement Tues-

day. Pinkett, in a statement, said he offered a "most sincere and heartfelt apology to all those affected by my inappropriate comments." In an interview with WSCRAM last week, Pinkett said he

"always felt like, to have a successful team, you have to have a few bad citizens on the team," adding that Notre Dame "is growing because maybe they have some guys that are doing something worthy of a suspension."

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

O yes! Orioles tie N.Y. for first The Associated Press

TORONTO — Mark Reynolds hit a three-run homer, Zach Britton pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight start and the Baltimore Orioles moved into a first-place tie in the AL East with a 12-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Baltimore’s third consecutive victory coupled with the Yankees’ loss at Tampa Bay gave the Orioles a share of first place in September for the first time since 1997, the last time they won the division and advanced to the playoffs. Reynolds went 3 for 4 with four RBIs as the Orioles pounded out a season-high 18 hits. Recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to face the Blue Jays, Britton (5-1) allowed four hits and improved to 4-0 with a 0.94 ERA in four starts since his last loss on Aug. 1 against New York. The left-hander struck out eight and walked two, one intentional. Kevin Gregg worked the eighth and Zach Phillips finished for the Orioles, who have won three straight and 21 of 29. Struggling Toronto was held scoreless for the second straight game and has dropped four in a row. Reynolds hit his 17th homer off Carlos Villanueva in the fifth. It also was his fifth homer in five games. Nate McLouth added a sacrifice fly in the sixth, and the Orioles pulled away with a three-run seventh. Robert Andino chased Villanueva with a sacrifice fly, Aaron Loup’s balk scored Manny Machado and J.J. Hardy singled in Nick Markakis. Mechanical troubles with the retractable roof at Rogers Centre left the field slippery and damp during the middle innings as rain fell inside the

stadium. The team apologized to fans after the roof was unable to close at the normal speed, leaving many people opening umbrellas to protect themselves from the elements. Indians 3, Tigers 2

DETROIT — Justin Masterson pitched six solid innings, and the Cleveland Indians beat Detroit 3-2 on Tuesday night for their second straight victory over the playoff-chasing Tigers. Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer for Detroit, but the Tigers missed another opportunity against a struggling team. Masterson (11-12) allowed two runs and four hits. He walked one and struck out four. Four relievers finished, with Chris Perez pitching a perfect ninth for his 34th save in 38 chances. Rick Porcello (9-11) allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. The Indians had lost 29 of 35 before taking the first two games of this series. Royals 6, Rangers 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals got home runs from Alex Gordon and Johnny Giavotella in a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. Gordon broke a 2-all tie in the fifth with a two-run shot off Matt Harrison, the third home run he has allowed to a lefthanded hitter this season. After Salvador Perez’s runscoring double with two outs, Harrison was replaced by Roy Oswalt. It was a rare short night for Harrison (15-9), who has pitched at least eight innings in eight starts. He fell to 10-5 away from home, tied with Tampa Bay ace David Price for the most road victories in the American League.

Bruce’s bomb helps Reds slip by Phillies The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce homered for the third straight game on Tuesday night, hitting a two-run shot that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies with first baseman Joey Votto watching from the bench. Votto was activated off the disabled list before the game, but didn’t play. Cincinnati went 32-16 without him, taking control of the NL Central. Bruce’s 31st homer in the sixth inning ended a four-game winning streak by Kyle Kendrick (8-10). Bruce has homered in four of his last five games. Mat Latos (12-4) gave up one run — on a bases-loaded walk — and four hits in seven innings. Jimmy Rollins doubled off Latos in the fifth inning, making him the fourth Phillies player to reach 2,000 career hits. Rockies 6, Braves 0

ATLANTA — Carlos Gonzalez hit his second home run since July 23 to give Colorado the lead, Jordan Pacheco also homered and drove in two runs, and the Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves 6-0 on Tuesday night. Four pitchers combined on a nine-hit shutout. Carlos Torres (4-1), who took over after starter Drew Pomeranz lasted only three innings, threw three scoreless frames. He allowed three hits with no walks and three strikeouts. Cardinals 5, Mets 1

ST. LOUIS — Jaime Garcia carried a shutout into the eighth inning and Yadier Moli-

na got his 1,000th career hit with an infield single that started a three-run second against rookie Matt Harvey in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 5-1 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Daniel Descalso and David Freese had two hits and an RBI apiece for the Cardinals, who are 42-26 at home for the second-best mark in the National League. St. Louis will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday with Adam Wainwright facing 17-game winner R.A. Dickey. Nationals 11, Cubs 5

WASHINGTON — Adam LaRoche hit two of Washington’s six homers, Ian Desmond had four RBIs and the Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 11-5 on Tuesday night. LaRoche and Jayson Werth had four hits apiece for the NL East-leading Nationals, who opened a season-high 71⁄2-game advantage in the division. Second-place Atlanta lost to Colorado 6-0. Brewers 8, Marlins 4

MIAMI — Norichika Aoki and Jeff Bianchi each homered and drove in three runs for the Milwaukee Brewers in an 8-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. Ryan Braun drove in Milwaukee’s other two runs to give him 98 RBIs, which leads the National League.

nings and Upton delivered backto-back solo shots in the fifth, giving Alex Cobb (9-8) and Tampa Bay’s bullpen all the offensive support they’d need against the Yankees’ sputtering lineup. Robinson Cano matched a career high for New York with his 29th homer, a two-run shot off Cobb, who allowed four hits over seven innings. Fernando Rodney earned his major league-best 42nd save in 44 opportunities. The Yankees, who have lost five of six, finished with six hits. It was the fifth consecutive games they’ve been held to six or fewer — their longest such stretch since going six straight from Aug. 30 to Sept. 5, 1990. It appeared Dickerson wanted timeout in the fourth, but Randazzo did not grant it and Dickerson went down looking to end the inning. Dickerson didn’t seem to like the call and moments later Girardi came storming out of the dugout, yanked his cap off his head and argued face-to-face with Randazzo. Before heading back to the dugout, Girardi kicked dirt in the batter’s box. Alex Rodriguez went 1 for 4 with a ninth-inning infield hit in his second game since spending six weeks on the disabled list with a broken left hand. Curtis Granderson returned to the starting lineup after sitting out most of two games with a sore

right hamstring and went 0 for 3. Cano played despite experiencing tightness in his left hip reaching for a grounder that got past him for the game-deciding hit during the eighth inning of Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Rays. He got treatment following the game and again early Tuesday before Girardi penciled him into the lineup. The slugger has at least one hit in 13 of 14 games against Tampa Bay this season, including the past 11 — a stretch in which he’s batted .438 (18 for 42) against a pitching staff that currently leads the major leagues in ERA, opponents’ batting average and the AL in strikeouts. Longoria homered for the sixth time in 26 games since being activated following a threemonth stint on the disabled list with a partially torn left hamstring. It was his 10th of the season, coming on a 2-2 pitch after Garcia prolonged the inning with a two-out walk to Ben Zobrist. Jennings and Upton homered five pitches apart to begin the fifth. Upton, who hit a solo shot off CC Sabathia in Monday’s series opener, also doubled on a 3-0 pitch to drive in Tampa Bay’s first run of the night. Garcia allowed five runs and five hits in 51⁄3 innings. The loss was the right-hander’s first since July 30, even though Garcia had not pitched particularly well in two recent starts in which he wasn’t involved in the decision against the White Sox and Indians.

London was not calling PSU talent

Virginia coach refused to shop his school in State College during August release period. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Well before Bill O’Brien’s name entered the rumor mill – before Chris Petersen and Mike Munchak and Dan Mullen and most every other name you could think of – there was Mike London. Just days after Joe Paterno was fired back in November, London’s name was the first to surface as a possible successor when The Washington Post reported that Steve Garban – then the chairman of Penn State’s Board of Trustees – had reached out to a third party to gauge London’s interest. The reply came back quickly. London was just fine being the head coach at Virginia, thank you. “I love the job that I have,” Lon-

They were scheduled to resume Wednesday as the second match in Ashe, after four-time major champion Maria Sharapova’s quarterfinal against 2007 Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli. That was halted Tuesday with Bartoli ahead 4-0. Other matches stopped in progress, also in the first set, included defending champion Novak Djokovic against No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka, and No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic against No. 19 Philipp Kohlschreiber. On a day of off-and-on action because of intermittent showers, only two singles matches were completed: Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka reached her first U.S. Open semifinal by cobbling together a 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 (5) victory

were lucky to get into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They really didn’t beat the Packers or 49ers, they were just handed the games. There is a lot more, but that is the gist. That is now over. The goal for Tom Coughlin’s players is to show they have constructed that bridge the 65-year-old coach urged them to build to link their late-season 6-0 run to the title to the 2012 campaign. “The leadership we have on this football team, that’s going to be the spine of the bridge, if you will,” defensive captain Justin Tuck said. “I think we’re in a good place as far as where we want to be coming into the game.” The Giants are confident, and they don’t care what outsiders are saying about them. “We’ve already showed people who we are,” safety Antrel Rolle said. “We can care less about that. We leave that up to spectators. We’re just going out there and playing ball. And that is what it is all about. We can care less about what kind of recognition we are getting or who is crowning us and who is not crowning us. None of that matters coming into the 2012 season.” Jerry Jones’ Cowboys face a much different task after an 8-8 campaign that ended with an embarrassing 31-14 loss to the Giants on New Year’s Day. The outspoken owner, who boasted to fans that his team would kick the Giants’ posteriors in Dallas when the clubs meet a second time this season on Oct. 28, knows the window for the aging Cowboys to return to the franchise’s glory years is fading fast. “It’s a great opportunity for us is how I look at it,” Jones said of the season opener. “So very meaningful. Everybody has all the appreciation in the

don said Tuesday at his weekly press conference when asked about the situation. “I love this place, I love this comLondon munity and I love the players here and what this university stands for. “That always happens. There are always people throwing your name out there and then it growing legs, and all of a sudden, it’s a centipede and you have all kind of people talking about it. Flattering, perhaps, being mentioned. But at the same time my focus is here, and this is where I want to be.” The Cavaliers are happy to have him. A former Virginia assistant coach and head coach at FCS Richmond, London is the reigning ACC Coach of the Year after ending the Cavs’ three-year bowl drought with an 8-4 season in 2011. Now in his third year at the

helm in Charlottesvile, London, a former cop, has Virginia back on the upswing. London and O’Brien shared a similar upbringing as coaches and even faced off against each other during O’Brien’s stops through the ACC at Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke. “We’ve met,” London said. “I think that you follow guys’ careers from afar. In particular now, playing Penn State, you appreciate the job that he has and the task that he has of getting his team prepared and ready to play, despite all the obstacles and things that occurred there.” As such, London said that he and his staff did not aggressively pursue Penn State players this summer when the NCAA lifted traditional contact and transfer rules after imposing sanctions on the Nittany Lions. London did, however, still hear all about opposing schools setting up camp in State College, looking to recruit. “When it came out that the op-

portunity (to transfer without penalty) was going to be extended to those players, I had heard from other coaching friends that they were on the next flight to Happy Valley,” London said. “And you hear the stories about coaches walking around with their school logos on, and it was kind of like an open market. “We didn’t try to make an approach that way. We saw other people doing that, and also there are all the issues with us as far as transfers and things like that. But it was kind of you looked at it and you felt bad for Coach O’Brien. Because here he is, just gets there, finds out what’s going on, and players have a chance not only to leave at that time, but again leave at the end of the season if they don’t go in and play. “So I’m quite sure he’s trying to put a game plan together and kind of a program together to keep these guys together, not only committed recruits for next year, but also the guys on his team.”

over defending champion Sam Stosur, and No. 4 David Ferrer reached the quarterfinals by beating No. 13 Richard Gasquet 7-5, 7-6 (2), 6-4. So, Victoria, what went through your mind as your hightension, high-quality match stretched into that third-set tiebreaker? “You don’t want to know what I kept telling myself,” Azarenka deadpanned. “I would have to beep that, I think.” She went on to offer a cleanedup version of what her thoughts had been — “Don’t be a chicken” — while assuring herself of retaining the No. 1 ranking no matter what happens the rest of this week. “Definitely I don’t want to stop. I really want it bad,” Azarenka said about the prospect of adding a second Grand Slam trophy to the one she earned in January at the Australian Open. “I’m going

to do absolutely everything I have, you know, to give it all here.” Her match, like most at Flushing Meadows so far, took second billing to one involving the 20thseeded Roddick, who surprisingly announced last week that this tournament would be the last of his career. Since then, he picked up victories over players ranked 43rd and 59th, but the No. 7-seeded del Potro figured to provide more of a challenge. Del Potro is the only man other than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Djokovic to win any of the past 30 Grand Slam titles. There were thousands of empty blue seats when Roddick and del Potro took to the court, probably owing to the showers that led to about an hour’s delay at the start of the marquee match. It was hardly the full house of rowdy, partisan fans that Roddick

might have hoped for. More spectators filed in as things progressed, and those who were there certainly grabbed each and every opportunity to cheer for their man. They even gave del Potro a bit of a hard time when he had a couple of ball boys go wipe a wet spot near the baseline with white towels. It was misty at the outset, and the humidity topped 80 percent, leaving both men’s shirts sopped with sweat. Roddick came out the aggressor, looking for any opportunity to get to the net, and the volley he smacked to end the third game glanced off the 6-foot-6 del Potro’s right shoulder. Not much later, Roddick nosed ahead, breaking for a 4-2 lead and shaking his right fist vigorously when del Potro flubbed a backhand into the net.

world for what we’re up against here, the quality of the team, so to have success up there would be very meaningful. “As in any game in the NFL, it’s certainly not how you ultimately will wind up one way or the other, but it is a big game in front of really the entire world of sports, high visible game against the world champions.” Romo will again be under the spotlight. He has yet to lead the ‘Boys to a title, and many wonder whether he will after a late-season meltdown in which Dallas lost four of its final five games, including two to the Giants. “I think they always stick with you,” Romo said of the last game. “That’s what fuels you in the offseason and makes you ... you want to remember those moments so you can improve from them. As a football team, we’ve taken an approach that we need to get better. I think we’ve done that with the personnel and our approach and the way the guys have been committed. It’s been great to see. Now it’s time to take it to the field.” There are a couple of key matchups to watch. Manning and receivers Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks combined for 14 receptions for 237 yards in New York’s 37-34 win in Dallas on Dec.11, and they had 11 more catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns in the division-deciding game. In the offseason, the Cowboys signed former Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr as a free agent and moved up eight spots in the first round of the draft to take another cornerback, Morris Claiborne of LSU. The key to the Giants’ success in the postseason was the ability of the defensive line to pressure quarterbacks. The assault will again be led by All Pro Jason Pierre-Paul, Tuck and fellow two-time Pro Bowler Osi Umenyiora.

As the new play-caller for the Lions, O’Brien dialed up 48 passes and 22 runs against the Bobcats. He said Tuesday that was something he’d like to change going forward. “I think I’ve got to do a better job there,” O’Brien said. “I think we need to be more balanced. We can run the football. We’ve got a tough offensive line – I think probably one of the units that played the best on Saturday was our offensive line, if not the unit that did play the best. “We’ve got to be more balanced, and that starts with me. Yeah, hindsight being 20/20, I’d like to say we would not throw it 50 and run it 20. We’d like to be more balanced.” O’Brien is also reconsidering his experiment with linebacker Gerald Hodges as a kick and punt returner, conceding that he was probably asking the senior to do too much. “Yeah, probably. Probably right,” O’Brien said. “We put him back there, and the reason why (was that) he did an excellent job in practice. He’s an excellent athlete, and he caught every one of them in practice. “But it’s a lot on his plate, and his main role is obviously as our outside linebacker. He might or might not be back there this week, but there was a lot on his plate, and I’ll tell you, I accept responsibility for that. But we’ll move forward and we’ll find some guys that can return some punts.” Hodges handled three returns in the opener but did not return to the role after fumbling the last of those attempts. Run on for a long time… As he promised he would back in July, O’Brien has done away with the term “walk-on” at Penn State. Non-scholarship players are now referred to as – wait for it – run-ons. “These guys don’t walk,” O’Brien said. “They run on the field, they sprint on the field, they bust their butt on the field.

These guys are not walk-ons, they are run-ons.” With scholarship sanctions hitting the program, O’Brien and his staff will need to rely more on those “run-ons” in the coming years. Also gone is the term “scout team” – or “foreign team,” as Joe Paterno typically called it. The group of second- and third-teamers used to simulate the opposition in practice is now called “The Dirty Show,” a term O’Brien said he lifted from his former team, the New England Patriots. According to an ESPN story, the name was coined by Patriots assistant Pepper Johnson, who encourages his scout-teamers to celebrate big plays and generally rub it in the face of the first-teamers. In other words, just have some fun with it. Those changes, while just about semantics on the surface, are designed to keep backups on the team involved and in a good mood, as the Lions still face the threat of transfers until next August because of the sanctions. “Nobody likes to be called ‘foreign team’ or ‘scout team’ or ‘walk-on,’ ” senior fullback Mike Zordich said. “It makes it seem like they just came in and nobody wanted them. Which is far from the truth.”

Home sales prices rise in region, nation

Strong gains reported as Americans flow into showrooms

Apple hints at iPhone 5

Apple Inc. on Tuesday invited reporters to a news conference next week in San Francisco with a message that suggests that it will reveal the iPhone 5, as expected. The email invitation shows a big “12,” for Sept. 12, casting a shadow in the shape of a “5.” Various unconfirmed reports have pointed to Sept. 12 as being the day Apple Inc. shows off the new phone, which is expected to go on sale a week or two later. The next iPhone is expected to have a taller screen and the ability to access the latest wireless data networks in the U.S.

Adding foreclosed/forced sales, however, results in 0.6 % drop compared to July 2011.

By Staff and wire reports

WILKES-BARRE – Year-over-year home sale prices excluding distressed sales rose 7.5 percent in July in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, more than twice the national pace and the second consecutive month of strong increases. Comparable sale prices nationally shot up 4.3 percent in July, their largest leap since 2006, according to real estate data provider CoreLogic. When sales made in foreclosure or otherwise forced to market are included, local prices fell 0.6 percent compared to July 2011. That was far worse than the national increase of 3.8 percent with distressed sales included. Foreclosures have been rising steadily in the market made up of Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming counties. They stood at 3.67 percent of mortgages in August, above the national rate for the sixth consecutive month. Ninety-day delinquencies, a predictor of future foreclosures, stood at 6.77 percent in August. In June, local sale prices excluding distressed sales rose 8 percent, CoreLogic said. With distressed sales included the increase was 4.3 percent. The national gain marks the fifth straight rise in the gauge, part of a positive swing after a year and a half of slumps. The last time prices rose so much was in August 2006, when they jumped 4.1 percent. The report, coming as a glut of house-hunters clamor after a shrinking inventory, suggests the real estate market is "clearly seeing the light at the end of a very long tunnel," said CoreLogic Chief Executive Anand Nallathambi in a statement. Still, the housing market’s recovery is just beginning. Prices remain 27 percent below their peak in April 2006, CoreLogic said. Arizona led the country in price appreciation with a 16.6 percent surge, followed by Idaho, Utah, South Dakota and Colorado. Delaware’s 4.8 percent plunge was the deepest drop-off in prices, with Alabama, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Illinois also suffering major slips. Housing, though seemingly in a recovery, is still shaky, according to other data. Consumer confidence is up, helping to push pending home sales to a two-year high, but the job market and the overall economy continue to lag.

Call for prosecutions

Phil Angelides, who chaired the government commission that investigated the financial crisis, said Tuesday the Justice Department should pursue more criminal cases against Wall Street executives to restore the faith of average Americans in U.S. markets. “Deterring future crimes can’t be accomplished simply through fines or negotiated financial settlements -which many banks regard as the cost of doing business,” Angelides said. “Senior executives need to know that if they violate the law, there will be real consequences.”

USW deal contains raises

The tentative agreement between U.S. Steel and about 16,000 members of the United Steelworkers union calls for 4.5 percent in pay increases over the life of the three-year proposal and no change in health care benefits for workers. Summaries of the proposal posted on several Facebook pages of USW locals outline a 2 percent pay increase next Sept. 1 and a 2.5 percent increase Jan. 1, 2015. Workers would also get a $2,000 signing bonus Oct. 15 and another $500 bonus April 1, 2014.

Layaway charges cut

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is lowering its fee that shoppers pay for its interestfree pay-over-time program for the winter holidays. The fee to open up a layaway account will now be $5 instead of $15, the world’s largest retailer said Tuesday. The announcement comes a day after Toys R US announced it was waiving the upfront service fee for layaway orders created in store from Sept. 4 through Oct. 31.

Pickups drive up sales

By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Strong pickup demand fueled a big jump in U.S. auto sales last month. GM’s August U.S. sales rose 10 percent compared with a year earlier, while Ford’s rose13 percent and Chrysler’s 14 percent. Most automakers reported strong gains as Americans flowed into dealer showrooms, drawn by model-year closeouts, low-interest financing and appealing new models. Analysts expected overall sales

to rise around 20 percent. The annual pace could reach 14.6 million units, among the best months of the year. Pickups, traditionally the top sellers in the U.S., drove much of the business, thanks to a recovering housing market. Sales of Ford’s F-Series trucks rose 19 percent, while Chrysler’s Ram jumped by the same. GM’s pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, amongtheoldesttrucksinthemarket, saw a 6-percent sales increase. AsiancompaniesandGermany’s

Volkswagen did well in car sales. The overall increase was due mainly to pent-up demand as consumers and businesses were forced to replace aging cars and pickup trucks, said Yingzi Su, GM’s senior economist. The average age of a vehicle on U.S. road is approaching11 years. “People have been holding off newpurchasesforsuchalongtime, since 2008 to now,” she said, adding that auto sales are seeing overall improvements even though the economy is growing slowly.

Scattered showers and downpours overnight will be ending later this morning, having left behind enough rain in many places to put a sizeable dent in the rainfall deﬁcit. A wind shift later today will help to promote clearing skies and a nice night here tonight. But conditions will favor the formation of dense fog. Our Thursday is looking very sunny and very warm and then another front will approach late Friday. This one may stall out nearby, allowing a wave of low pressure to approach for the weekend. This will no doubt bring a huge risk for some rain, not only on Saturday but on Sunday as well. - Tom Clark

Ratatouille and fish for the fall

By RUSS PARSONS

AUTUMN IS approaching and so is the end of our warm days. It’s time to cook with some classic fall vegetables such as squash and eggplant. One of my favorite dishes to prepare during the cool autumn days is ratatouille. It’s a dish that can be served as side or a dinner. I like to serve ratatouille with fish, such as haddock, on top and accompanied by a fresh herb salad. The salad enhances the dish by recollecting the joyful thoughts of summer, while the haddock and ratatouille warm the body. The delicate touch of oil and vinegar is light enough so you can savor the taste of this meal. •••

Los Angeles Times

omatoes are summer’s glamour crop, round, red and ripe. But though zucchini will never get as many magazine covers, real cooks know you can’t beat it for versatility. If you have a perfectly ripened backyard tomato, there are only a few things you should do with it (yes, admittedly, all of them are delicious). But if you have a bag of zucchini, well, the sky is the limit. Here are some quick ideas. 1. Bulgur salad with arugula, zucchini and pine nuts: Salt zucchini and set aside until soft. Rinse, pat dry and combine with toasted soaked bulgur and minced red onion, dress with olive oil and lemon juice and at the last minute add torn arugula leaves and toasted pine nuts.

RATATOUILLE AND HADDOCK 1 pound haddock, cut into two pieces 1/2 onion, thinly sliced 1 eggplant, thinly sliced 1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced 1/2 yellow squash, thinly sliced 1 tomato, thinly sliced 1/2 red pepper, seeded and diced 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Optional balsamic glaze 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 sprigs of fresh thyme Salt and pepper to taste

FRESH HERB SALAD

2. Ratatouille: Saute onions in olive oil until they’re tender and transfer them to a big pot. Saute zucchini until tender and add that to the pot. Saute eggplant until tender and add that to the pot. Add peeled, seeded, diced tomatoes and red wine vinegar and cook until they thicken. Add them to the pot and heat everything through to combine flavors. 3. Zucchini-basil frittata: Saute sliced onion and shredded zucchini in a nonstick skillet until the zucchini is no longer moist. Stir the mixture into a bowl of beaten eggs along with grated Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves. Return the mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the egg mixture sets like soft scrambled eggs. Run the pan under a broiler just until it browns on top. 4. Zuni Cafe zucchini pickles: Slice the zucchini

about 1/16 of an inch thick. Combine in a bowl with a sliced onion and salt generously. Cover with ice water and set aside until the zucchini is softened, about 1 hour. Rinse and pat dry. Combine vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, mustard seeds and turmeric in a small saucepan and simmer for 3 minutes. Set aside until just warm to the touch. Pour the brine mixture over the zucchini, transfer to jars, seal tightly and refrigerate for at least a day. 5. Braised zucchini with mint and lemon: Braise the zucchini in olive oil with chopped onion, garlic, lemon zest and mint. When you remove the lid and turn the heat up to high, add more lemon juice and cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Cool to warm room temperature and stir in more mint and toasted pine nuts.

6. Zucchini and pine nut salad: This is another very simple (and delicious) adaptation of a basic technique. Salt zucchini as in the bulgur salad and combine it with minced red onion and pine nuts and dress with olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in shredded basil just before serving. 7. Zucchini in agrodolce: Cut the zucchini into large pieces. Heat olive oil and a whole peeled garlic clove until the garlic begins to brown. Add the cut-up zucchini and cook until the zucchini begins to brown, add white vinegar, sugar, toasted pine nuts, softened golden raisins and a chopped anchovy fillet and cook until the liquid reduces to a syrup. Remove from the heat, stir in chopped mint and season to taste with salt and black pepSee ZUCCHINI, Page 3C

Roasting unleashes essence of cherry tomatoes By JUDY HEVRDEJS Chicago Tribune

Plump fist-size tomatoes may be the stars of BLTs and Caprese salads, sauces and soups. But their wee cousins can be a cook’s best friend as well. Whether they’re Sun Golds or Tumbling Toms or heirlooms named yellow pear or black plum, cherry tomatoes can play multiple roles beyond the salad bowl. Stuff with herbed goat cheese for a quick appetizer. Saute with garlic and herbs in a sizzling skillet until their skins pop, then toss with pasta. To take them up a notch, slowroast them.

Chris Nugent, executive chef at Chicago’s Goosefoot, roasts heirlooms before turning them into a richly flavored soup. Chef and cookbook author Antony Worrall Thompson tosses roasted cherry tomatoes with pasta and he pairs them with fish. “Sacrifice some time in the name of simplicity,” he writes in “The Essential Low Fat Cookbook: Good Healthy Eating for Every Day” (Kyle Books, $35), “because the roasting process really intensifies the tomato flavor.” That concentrated and caramelized flavor is one reason editors at Fine Cooking magazine

suggest slow-roasting tomatoes in their book “Fine Cooking In Season: Your Guide to Choosing and Preparing the Season’s Best.” “(It) is so easy and yields such delicious results that you’ll soon add it to your repertoire.” Calling them “a secret ingredient,” they add them to pastas, sandwiches and salads or serve them alongside grilled meats. They suggest storing roasted tomatoes for a week in the refrigerator; longer in the freezer. And if there’s any extra roasting oil, drizzle it on grilled vegetables or crusty bread. See TOMATOES, Page 3C

Small bunch of fresh basil Small bunch of fresh chives, cut sticks 1/2 inch Small bunch of parsley Small bunch of fresh dill Small bunch of celery leaves Small bunch of cilantro 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Preheat oven to 400 Cover a baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper leaving some a few inches of slack on both sides. Layer the vegetables by alternating each one. Alternate either in a straight line, across, or even in a circular pattern. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over vegetables and top with one clove garlic along with salt and pepper. Place haddock on top and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, thyme, one clove garlic, red pepper, butter, salt and pepper. Bring parchment paper to center and fold down. Crimp ends and twist to keep food inside. Place in oven for 20 minutes or until flaky. For the fresh salad, mix the herbs and top with white balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Put on top of haddock and garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, which can be made by reducing balsamic vinegar to about one quarter of its original volume.

per. This can be served either warm or cold. 8. Calabacitas con crema: Cut an onion into thick slices and cook slowly until golden. Add sliced garlic, shredded roasted, peeled, seeded poblano and zucchini cut into thick slabs and cook, covered, until the zucchini is tender. Add Mexican crema, increase the heat to medium, and cook until thickened. Just before serving, stir in chopped cilantro. 9. Garlic and herb-stuffed zucchini: Make a flavorful tomato sauce. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and use a melon baller to carefully remove enough of the flesh from the center to make a boat. Season lightly with salt and steam until tender. Grind fresh bread to crumbs in a food processor with basil and garlic. Pour into a bowl and stir in chopped anchovies and toasted pine nuts. Pour the tomato sauce into a lightly oiled gratin dish and spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the zucchini, mounding it slightly on top. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the tops of the breadcrumbs are browned. Serve hot or at room temperature. •••

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Total time: 30 minutes, plus draining time for the shredded zucchini Servings: Makes 8 fritters 1 pound zucchini Salt

1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 green onion, chopped, green part only 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon minced jalapeno 2 tablespoons flour 1 egg, beaten Olive oil Greek-style yogurt 1. Shred the zucchini and put it in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt, mix well and set aside for at least 30 minutes to drain. Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until they begin to pop and smell fragrant. Grind in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. 2. Rinse the shredded zucchini under cold running water. Pick up a small handful, squeeze it dry and put it in the center of a linen dish towel. When you’ve squeezed all the zucchini by hand, gather the dish towel around the zucchini and twist, wringing out as much liquid as you can. The more liquid you remove, the lighter the fritter will be. 3. Put the zucchini in a bowl and add the green onion, jalapeno, cumin and coriander and stir to mix well. Stir in the flour and then the beaten egg. The mixture should be sticky, but there shouldn’t be any free liquid. If there is, stir in a little more flour. 4. Pour olive oil into a nonstick skillet to a depth of about onefourth inch (it’ll take about onefourth cup) and heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough that a little bit of zucchini sizzles immediately, drop 4 (2 to 3 tablespoon) mounds of the batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon. 5. Fry until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes, then gently flip and fry until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and gently pat away any excess oil. 6. Serve immediately, with a dollop of thick Greek yogurt. Each fritter: 147 calories; 2

WOVEN ZUCCHINI WITH FRESH GOAT CHEESE Total time: 20 minutes, plus draining time for the zucchini Servings: 4 3 to 4 (6- to 7-inch) zucchini Salt Olive oil 1/2 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon lemon juice 10 to 12 cherry tomatoes 8 ounces fresh goat cheese 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Sicilian) 6 leaves fresh basil 1. Trim the ends of the zucchini to make them a uniform length. Slice them lengthwise as thin as you can, about one-eighth inch (this is most easily done with a mandoline, but if you’re careful, a very sharp knife also will work). You should have at least 24 thin strips of zucchini. 2. Place the zucchini in a bowl, salt generously and toss to coat, then transfer to a colander and set aside until the zucchini have softened, at least 30 minutes. 3. While the zucchini are sitting, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, the minced garlic and lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt. Cut the cherry to-

matoes in half and season lightly with salt. 4. Rinse the zucchini slices under cold running water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Return to the bowl and season with just enough of the olive oil-lemon mixture to moisten lightly. 5. Weaving the zucchini may sound complicated (as with weaving a lattice-top pie), but it is not difficult at all. You’ll need 6 strips of squash for each plate. Arrange three strips of zucchini side-byside on the first plate. Lift the middle strip and place one strip of zucchini perpendicular to the other strips and over the two outer strips, making an “H.” Unfold the middle strip over the perpendicular strip. Fold back the two end pieces on one side and lay another perpendicular strip, then unfold the end pieces. Repeat at the other end, then use your fingers to gently push the pieces together to make a tightly woven mat of zucchini. Repeat for the three remaining plates. 6. Place the fresh goat cheese in a bowl and stir in the dried oregano and the remainder of the olive oil-lemon mixture to make a smooth, creamy mixture. If necessary, add a little more olive oil. 7. Divide the goat-cheese mixture evenly among the four plates, spooning it in the center of the zucchini mat. Scatter the cherry tomato halves around the outside. Drizzle lightly with a little more good olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and scatter over top. Serve at room temperature. Each serving: 336 calories; 15 grams protein; 9 grams carbohydrates; 2 grams fiber; 28 grams fat; 13 grams saturated fat; 45 mg cholesterol; 7 grams sugar; 599 mg sodium.

Need more ideas? Here are a couple to get you started. ROASTING

If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, roast plum tomatoes with this recipe adapted from Fine Cooking Magazine’s “Fine Cooking In Season.” ROASTED PLUM TOMATOES Halve through the stem end and seed 4 1/2 to 5 pounds plum tomatoes. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil (then parchment if you have it). Coat pan with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange halves, cut side up, turning to coat bottoms with some oil. Sprinkle sparingly with kosher salt, sugar and scant 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Thinly slice 3 to 4 garlic cloves; arrange slices over tomatoes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme. Pour 1 cup olive oil over all. Roast in center of oven until tomatoes are dark reddish brown, with deep browning on edges. Cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in refrigerator up to a week or in a freezer bag up to a month.

••• ROASTED HEIRLOOM CHERRY TOMATO SOUP Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 1 hour Servings: 6 (2 cups each) Note: Adapted from a recipe by Chris Nugent, executive chef at Goosefoot restaurant in Chicago. Nugent suggests passing the blended soup through a fine strainer; we omitted that step because we enjoyed the pureed texture.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 PAGE 7C

Father’s idea of cuddling with teen daughters is too close for comfort Dear Abby: My mom’s boyfriend wants to spend time with my 16-year-old sister and take her places all the time. He wants to cuddle with us whenever we sit on the couch and gets upset when we don’t want to. He’s my biological father, but I have known him only for a year because he left my mom when she was pregnant with me. Now he wants to play “dad” when I already have had a dad all my life. (Mom was married for 11 years to another man.) I’m 14. He yells and swears all the time and takes things away from us if we don’t do what he wants. He isn’t physically abusive yet, but the

DEAR ABBY ADVICE cuddling freaks me out and I don’t think it’s right. I told my school counselor. She said it wasn’t a big deal. Abby, what can I do? Mom has problems with depression and reality and won’t listen to us. Help us, please. Where can I go? — Helpless in the Midwest Dear Helpless: Because your father’s overtures make you uncomfortable, and he “punishes” you if you don’t accept them — it IS a “big deal.” Call Childhelp and describe what’s happening. The toll-free number is 800422-4453. The person who answers

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

the phone can refer you to help in your state. Please don’t wait. Your safety and that of your sister could depend on it. Dear Abby: I am romantically attracted to a girl, “Jade.” We have known each other ever since we were in diapers. We flirted with puppy love about 10 years ago, but it never went beyond writing love letters and ended quickly. It was so brief that I have never regarded it as a true relationship. I consider her my first love. Jade goes through boyfriends like a chain-smoker goes through cigarettes. Her mother is the same way and never found a good father figure for Jade. The men her mother dated were abusive. Consequently, Jade isn’t the best judge of men, either.

CRYPTOQUOTE

My parents have suggested that she may view me as a friend because I’m the only decent guy in her life, and she’s afraid we wouldn’t be friends if our romantic relationship ended. I want to tell her that I’d like to date her the next time her current relationship ends. At the same time, I want her to know I’d rather have her as a friend than nothing at all. Thanks to the wonder of social media, I will know when her next relationship ends. Should I wait till then? If not, how long? — First Love in the South Dear First Love: You seem to have a lot of insight about Jade. Because she was raised by a mother who was involved in one abusive relationship after another, she may feel that unless

there is pain and drama, that what she’s experiencing is boring and not really “love.” Until she realizes that the criteria she’s using in choosing men are flawed, and is willing to get help to straighten out her thinking, her pattern will continue. As you hover over your keyboard waiting for news of her next romantic failure, I suggest that rather than “pounce,” you keep her as a friend until she’s ready for a mature relationship. If you don’t, you will only suffer more disappointment. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed 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). Your extra energy will kick in midmorning, and you’ll keep moving quickly through the day. There are things you shouldn’t do fast, though. Talking is one of them. You’ll get more respect using your calm, slow voice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll choose upbeat partners. They may have the wrong answers from time to time, but because they have the right attitude, they will be quick to make corrections. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The deep part of your brain that contains a storytelling instinct will be activated. You’ll be driven to share, and you’ll hone the finer details of your narrative. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Resist checking in with others to see whether you’re on the right path. When you’re sure within yourself, it’s the right path. Certainty will open doors. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone will try to form an alliance with you. You’re not about to join a cause you don’t believe in. Also, you just don’t like it when people try to pick a fight for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). How you come across will be more important than what you say. Speak as though you’re making complete sense even when you’re not sure it’s really the case. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everything aligns to remind you that people are important — more important than things, position, power or money. When you make the choice that supports people, you choose your own soul.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve done your homework, but you wouldn’t mind a second opinion. Be careful to ask for insight in a way that lets the other person know that you don’t want to be micromanaged, but you value an objective viewpoint. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to give. But if you don’t take care of yourself first, you’ll get into trouble. You’ll be as generous as you can possibly be while still maintaining enough of your own time and resources to get your work done. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a way of making people feel safe. New people will be attracted to you as you demonstrate your strength. It comes in many forms: intellectual, physical and emotional. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enforce clear lines between your work and your personal life. Increased structure will be good for all. By your example, others will understand that the workplace is for work — and not for personal sharing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you want to be a leader, assume leadership. It won’t be necessary to ask for it, and doing so will only cause hesitation and doubt. Swoop in and start taking care of business. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). You are more convicted in your beliefs than ever and determined to make a difference. The next seven weeks clear the obstacles to deeper love. You’ll pick up a new skill in October. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 14 and 18.
