NANTICOKE – After a few questions Linda Trompetter realized she had work to do with the group of high school juniors seated around her. The executive director of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Diversity Education Consortium quizzed them on the percentage of Jews worldwide and the students were not even close to the correct answer of less than 1 percent. “You can’t be a leader unless you have your facts straight,” Trompetter told the teenage boys and girls chosen to participate in the inaugural D4

Thirteen years after his wife, Diana, was murdered, Robert Algar Jr. still can’t get past the brutality and senselessness of the crime. Diana Algar was just trying to help by giving 15-year-old Kenneth Crawford and his friend, David Hanley, 18, a place to stay for a few nights in July1999, he said. They repaid her by smashing her face with a 2-by-4, then shooting Crawford her and her friend, Jose Molina, in the head inside a camper at the Paradise Camp Ground in Hollenback Township. Robert Algar, 53, said he felt a sense of justice knowing Crawford, who was convicted in January 2001 of two counts of first-degree murder and other offenses, would spend the rest of his life in prison. Now he’s hoping justice prevails again as the state Supreme Court hears arguments next week in two cases that determine whether Crawford and hundreds of other “juvenile lifers” in Pennsylvania are entitled to new sentencing hearings. Crawford, now 29, recently filed a court motion that seeks to overturn his sentence based on a June 25 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that declared mandatory life sentences without possibility of parole for juveniles unconstitutional. Hanley pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and is serving a life sentence. He is not eligible for relief because he was 18

What: Public review and comment of revised plans for River Street Corridor Improvement project. When: Sept 18, 6 p.m. Where: Wilkes University Henry Student Center, 84 West South St.

More traffic lanes will be retained, and plans for a median are scaled back. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Revised plans for the River Street Corridor Improvement Project would keep two lanes southbound and eliminate turn “channels” at the Market Street intersection. The proposal was unveiled by consulting engineers Pennoni Associates Inc. during the Downtown Wilkes-Barre Business Association’s month-

ly breakfast Friday. The original plan was drawn up in an effort to calm traffic on the busy thoroughfare between South and North streets, improving access to the new River Common and the two portals that allow pedestrians to walk through the levee to the riverfront. Plans unveiled about a year ago called for reducing much of the corridor from four lanes to two – with some left turn lanes – and installing granite medians or green “islands” between the lanes. But critics at public meetings contended the

changes would clog traffic and not improve pedestrian safety. On Friday, Pennoni Engineer Stephen Sartori said those concerns were considered in consultation with PennDOT and revisions were made. The revisions will be on display at a public meeting set for Sept. 18, but Sartori gave the business association a preview. The biggest change is the elimination of the medians and the return of two lanes throughout in one direction. Coupled with that, the original See STREET, Page 8A

The third annual ‘Stand up to Cancer’ sports big names in entertainment.

LOS ANGELES — Cancer is big, but so are the celebrities determined to help conquer it. Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sofia Vergara and Robert Pattinson were among dozens of stars who appeared Friday on the third Stand Up to Cancer telethon. “Let’s build a world where cancer is no more,” a somber Hanks said on the hour-long program that was carried commercial-free by the major broadcast networks and a number of cable channels. Some of the stars who participated had seen cancer sicken or claim a family member. Others had fought the disease themselves. “It picked a fight with the wrong guy,” said Douglas, who had throat cancer. “Cancer didn’t bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet. I stand tonight because I want to be part of this effort to find an end to cancer. This is possible.” The telethon included short films about people fighting the disease, including a 3-year-old boy, Justin, who distracts himself from treatment with a favorite toy. “I don’t really think about me passing away. But if I ever do, I’m taking my Legos with me,” he said in the video, with a feisty smile. Justin Timberlake asked the studio audience to stand up for the child, who attended the event. “My buddy Justin is a fighter. That’s what you have to be as a child facing a mountain like cancer,” Timberlake said. The program honored the memory of “Spider-Man” movie producer Laura Ziskin, who helped found Stand Up to Cancer. She died last year at age 61 after battling breast cancer for seven years. “Like every great hero, she had a vision and she set us into motion,” Emma Stone said in a videotaped tribute to Ziskin. “And now it’s up to us to continue moving forward to achieve her dream.” The amount of money pledged during the telethon was not immediately available.

Report finds methane issue in township Methane migration still problem in Leroy Twp., Bradford County. By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

Pennsylvania’s environmental chief asserted two months ago that a faulty gas well that spiked nearby drinking-water wells with high levels of methane had been patched, and “the situation is for the most part over.” But a report commissioned by an anti-drilling group concludes that methane migration continues to be a problem in Leroy Township, Bradford County — with no end in sight. Gas Safety Inc., a Southborough, Mass., company that provides gas leak detection to homeowners and industry, said in a report released to The Associated Press that it found pockets of

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Friday said a woman who claims she was assaulted inside her city home by a former county deputy sheriff must hand over information regarding her social networking website on Facebook. Judge Joseph Sklarosky said Sheila Sult must provide defense attorneys for Jennifer

nearly pure methane a few inches below the soil surface, and detected a large plume of gas in the air. The report concludes that “fugitive methane” from one or more Marcellus Shale gas wells may be entering faults and fractures deep underground, migrating to the surface, and contaminating residential drinking-water wells. An official with Chesapeake Energy Corp, the driller at the center of the Leroy Township case, said baseline testing conducted before the gas wells were drilled revealed methane already was in the water. Environmental Secretary Michael Krancer blamed equipment failure at a Chesapeake gas well for leaking methane into residential water wells and nearby wetlands on May 19. In a July 12 letter to the Philadelphia-based Clean Air Council — which had commissioned an

earlier methane survey by Gas Safety — Krancer said Chesapeake’s repair work had been successful, resulting in a “substantial decrease” in methane levels in the water wells and wetlands. “This situation was immediately grasped by the department and DEP immediately responded,” Krancer wrote. “The situation is, and at all times was, under control by DEP. Indeed, at this point in time the situation is for the most part over.” Two weeks later, Gas Safety returned to Leroy Township for a second survey, this one commissioned by environmental activist Don Williams and Damascus Citizens for Sustainability, an antidrilling group based in the Poconos. Among the findings: Methane concentrations as high as 94 percent just below the soil surface; an airborne methane plume covering about 1.6 square miles; and bubbling in Towanda Creek.

Roberts, 34, with passwords, usernames and log-in names to access her Facebook accounts after Sult allegedly made several posts about the alleged incident between July 2011 and July 2012. Roberts, 34, faces charges of burglary, simple assault, aggravated assault and harassment stemming from a July 22 incident in which police say she assaulted Sult inside her residence, resulting in injuries that included a herniated disk in

Sult’s neck. Roberts is scheduled to stand trial on Sept. 24. Roberts’ attorneys had requested the information from Sult to show that she had been making online statements about the July 22 incident, including posting pictures of alleged injuries and making statements about Roberts and her ex-girlfriend, Mary Jean Farrell. Farrell had been dating Sult at the time of the alleged assault, according to court records.

LOCAL MinSec inmate charged in heist Kevin A. Parks Sr. is a suspect in a robbery at a Hazleton bank. He was arrested in Scranton. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – It was a stick-em-up, throw-em-back day for Kevin A. Parks Sr. Parks, 41, an inmate at the MinSec Hazleton Treatment Center, was arrested Friday and charged with robbing the First National Community Bank at 340 W. Broad St. Police said Parks failed to show up for a scheduled appointment that got him off the MinSec site; instead, he decided to rob the bank, buy some vodka and hop a

cab to downtown Scranton, where he was arrested for public intoxication near the Steamtown Mall. Police later learned Parks was the suspect in the Hazleton bank Parks heist and he was charged and taken to an undisclosed state correctional facility. The bank robbery was the fourth major crime in Hazleton in the last four weeks, including two homicides, said state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township. When she heard about the bank robbery, Toohil called Gov. Tom Corbett’s office to report it and request the state at-

torney general and others come to Hazleton to discuss the viability of having a private, state-funded correctional facility in the city’s downtown. “MinSec does not belong in the downtown,” Toohil said. “These are state inmates serving the end of their sentences. We need to transfer at least half of them to state prisons and the rest to other MinSec operated facilities.” MinSec is located at145 W. Broad St., a few blocks from the bank that was robbed. Toohil, Hazleton Police Chief Frank DeAndrea and Mayor Joe Yannuzzi agreed the city needs more police officers. There are 23 on the force and Toohil said there should be at least 52.

JENKINS TWP. – After nearly four decades, United Methodist Homes will have a new executive with Olyphant resident Brian Picchini taking over as president and chief executive officer. Picchini replaces Keith Chadwick, who had served for 36 years as chief executive of the nonprofit’s six locations in New York and Pennsylvania, including the sprawling Wesley Village campus just outside of Pittston. Chadwick, whose parents live at Wesley Village, has retired to spend more time with family and do consulting work. Wesley Village has 400 residents and 300 staffers at the facility off Main Street, Jenkins Township. “We have a wonderful organization, excellent people who care about seniors and a great reputation,” Chadwick said of his years working with

United Methodist Homes, which offers independent and assisted living, as well as skilled nursing and other services. Chadwick announced his retirement nearly a year ago, and has been working with Picchini to make a smooth transition into new leadership. “I strongly believe in our mission and values,” Picchini said. “Our (level of) care and reputation are excellent.” Picchini said during the transition he had conducted several meet-and-greet events at each United Methodist Homes location, including a second Pennsylvania campus in Tunkhannock. Picchini said a goal of the company is to get out into the community to let people know what kind of services United Methodist Homes offers. “I have large shoes to fill,” Picchini joked about taking over Chadwick’s duties.

WILKES-BARRE – A former youth camp volunteer at the Independent Bible Church pleaded guilty Thursday to several charges related to sexual molestation of three boys from 1999 to 2011.

Judge Michael Vough said Russo faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years on the involuntary deviate sexual intercourse charge. Russo will be required to register his address under Megan’s Law for his entire life and undergo an evaluation by the state Sexual Offender’s Assessment Board to determine if he is a sexually violent predator. According to court papers, state police in Honesdale who were investigating Russo in January learned that he might have molested two boys at his house in Duryea. Duryea Police Chief Nicholas Lohman questioned Russo, who allegedly admitted to having sexual contact with a boy from 1999 to 2002, and another boy from 2002 to 2005, according to the criminal complaints. One of the boys told police he met Russo when he was 9 years old, and the other boy was 8 years old. The two boys alleged Russo picked them up in the church van taking them to youth camp or other church functions. They alleged they were molested while staying at Russo’s house, the criminal complaints say. On March 20, Russo informed police that he wanted to speak about another victim he had molested. Russo told police when the boy was 11, he would touch him inappropriately. In April, Russo pleaded guilty in Wayne County court to two counts of indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age and was sentenced on Aug. 6 by Judge Raymond Hamill to nine months to four and a half years in state prison. Both Hamill and Vough ordered Russo to have no unsupervised contact with minors, no contact with any victims and to stay away from places minors frequent, such as parks. Vough additionally ordered Russo to undergo sexual offender treatment.

Plains teen arraigned on rape charges

David Davis Jr., 19, of Plains Twp., entered a not guilty plea via video from prison. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Plains Township teen was arraigned in county court Friday on charges that he raped a 12-year-old girl and on separate charges that he sent sexually explicit photos to the cellphone of another 12year-old girl. David Davis Jr., 19, of Wyoming Street, was arraigned on charges of rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, two counts of corrup-

Davis

tion of minors, child pornography, two counts of dissemination of explicit sexual material to a minor and unlawful contact

with a minor. Davis entered a not-guilty plea via video from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility where he is held on $100,000 bail. Davis will next be scheduled for a pre-trial conference before a county judge. Davis is represented by attorney Ferris Webby. According to court papers in the case involving the alleged

rape, the mother of the girl reported that her daughter had been raped by an acquaintance, Davis, near the Solomon/ Plains School in Plains Township sometime before June 14. The girl said Davis asked her to go into the woods where he partied with his friends and that once there, Davis hugged her and touched her inappropriately, according to police. Court papers say he then raped the girl, ignoring her requests to stop. The girl said shortly after the incident Davis began sending her text message photos of himself nude, but that she deleted them and severed communication with Davis, according to

the criminal complaint. In the other case, police said on June 12 they learned that a sexually explicit picture was sent to a 12-year-old girl’s cellphone. Court papers indicate the incidents involved two separate girls. The girl told police she would hang out with friends at a playground on Wyoming Street, where she met “Davey,” identified as Davis, who lives near the park. She said Davis became friendly with other people hanging out at the playground and the two exchanged phone numbers, according to court papers.

Based on the information received from Scranton, Zipovsky issued a warrant for the felony charge of robbery against Parks. Hazleton police were dispatched to the bank at about 9:30

Prior to the raid at the apartment, a man was questioned in the parking lot of Curry Donuts across from Holy Redeemer High School on South Pennsylvania Boulevard just off the downtown. A swarm of city police officers converged in the parking lot to question the man. Northbound traffic on South Pennsylvania Boulevard was restricted due to the number of cruisers at the scene.

Police interviewed Susan Wagner, the bank teller and victim, who said Parks approached her window, demanded all her money and told here he had a gun. She said he patted his jeans near his right front pocket, implying the weapon was there. Wagner gave Parks the money and he fled on foot.

Britain’s Prince Harry is shown the Apache flight-line Friday by a member of his squadron (name not provided) at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, where he will be operating from during his tour of duty as a co-pilot gunner. The prince has returned to Afghanistan to fly attack helicopters in the fight against the Taliban.

PHILADELPHIA — A man angry about a compromising Facebook photo of his girlfriend took revenge against the ex-boyfriend who posted it, making a hoax call to police that set off a terrorism scare and got the former beau taken off an airliner at gunpoint, authorities say. The new boyfriend, Kenneth W. Smith Jr., was arrested Friday on charges of making a hoax threat to police in Philadelphia, who recalled a Dallas-bound flight and marched the ex-beau, Christopher Shell, off the plane at gunpoint Thursday. The episode led to Shell’s own arrest on drug warrants after he finally reached

Texas to celebrate his 29th birthday. On Friday, both Shell and Smith posted bond. Shell declined to comment. Smith’s lawyer, Bill Brennan, deShell scribed his client as “embarrassed” by the consequences of the alleged threat. “My client is very, very sobered by the amount of attention this has received,” Brennan said after Smith’s initial appearance in federal court in Philadelphia. “He’s not very happy about it.” Passengers weren’t very happy about the scare that rerouted US Airways Flight 1267 on Thursday morning. They were

forcement officers boarded the plane and removed Shell. During questioning, he told authorities of the romantic feud, which involved hostile text messages with his ex and encounters with Smith, according to a federal affidavit. Shell also gave officers the name of Smith’s workplace. Upon arrival, authorities said Smith acknowledged calling airport police from a payphone to say AP PHOTO that Shell was carrying liquid explosives. Smith said he did it to “avenge” his Kenneth W. Smith Jr., right, and his lawyer Bill Brennan walk near the U.S. new girlfriend, because Shell had posted Courthouse, Friday in Philadelphia. a compromising picture of her on Facebook, the affidavit said.

DISASTER IN ASIA

PHILADELPHIA

Specter battles lymphoma

ormer Sen. Arlen Specter, who has already survived two bouts of F Hodgkin’s disease, is now battling

non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to his son’s law firm. A statement released Friday said Specter, 82, had been released from a Philadelphia hospital but was expected to return there for additional treatment. Specter said in a statement last week that he was again fighting cancer. “It’s another battle I intend to win,” Specter wrote. “I’m grateful for all the well wishes I’ve received.” Specter, who was Pennsylvania’s longest-serving senator before losing a primary in 2010, has overcome Hodgkin’s disease, a cancer of the lymphatic system, twice since 2005. He also has survived a brain tumor and cardiac arrest after bypass surgery. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a broad description for a number of blood cancers primarily affecting white blood cells in the lymph tissue.

WASHINGTON

Haqqani declared terrorists

The Obama administration declared Friday that the Pakistan-based Haqqani network of militants is a terrorist body despite misgivings about how the largely symbolic act could further stall planned Afghan peace talks or put yet another chill on the United States’ already fragile counterterrorism alliance with Islamabad. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s decision, signed Friday ahead of a Sunday deadline set by Congress, bans Americans from doing business with members of the group and blocks any assets it holds in the United States. The order, which will go into effect within 10 days, completes an odyssey of sorts for the Haqqanis from the days they partnered with the CIA during the Cold War and were hailed as freedom fighters. SULAIMANIYAH, IRAQ

Bomb attacks hit mosques

Three separate bomb attacks against Shiite mosques in a volatile northern Iraqi city killed eight civilians on Friday and injured 70 others, police said. Kirkuk police commander Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir said the attacks took place as worshipers were leaving mosques. Qadir said the deadliest attack occurred when a parked car bomb went off in Kirkuk’s southern Domiz area. A second bomb exploded after police and rescuers rushed to the scene. Both bombs killed a total of eight and wounded 36. Three other bombs targeted two more mosques in the center of the city, causing 34 injuries but no fatalities. COLUMBUS, OHIO

Teen survives sewer ride

An overflowing creek in a Cleveland suburb sent a 14-year-old boy on the ride of his life this week. Jeffrey LaPorta traveled more than a quarter of a mile through multiple storm sewer pipes, at times completely submerged water, before finding enough breathing room to await rescue. He was eventually pulled out of the sewer in less than an hour, with only scrapes and bruises. The teen was riding his bike with a friend on Tuesday through puddles created by the rising creek, which flows near a strip mall parking lot in Parma. He fell into the overflowing water just off the edge of the parking lot and was forced into a drain pipe — roughly 2 feet in diameter, authorities said.

Scores die as quakes hit China Damage hinders emergency help from getting through. By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN Associated Press

BEIJING — Twin earthquakes and a spate of aftershocks struck southwestern China on Friday, toppling thousands of houses and sending boulders cascading across roads. At least 80 people were killed and hundreds injured in the remote mountainous area, and more than 100,000 residents were evacuated. Damage was preventing rescuers from reaching outlying towns, and communications were disrupted after the midday quakes hit along the borders of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, a region of small

farms and mines where some of China’s poorest people live. The first magnitude-5.6 quake struck just before 11:30 a.m. and was followed by an equally strong quake shortly after noon, joined by dozens of aftershocks. Though of moderate strength, the quakes were shallow, which often causes more damage. Hardest hit was Yiliang County, where all but one of the deaths occurred, according to the Yunnan provincial government’s official website. Another 730 people in the area were injured, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said. Yiliang’s high population density, flimsy building construction and landslide-prone hillsides were blamed for the relatively high death toll.

China Central Television showed roads littered with rocks and boulders and pillars of dust rising over hilltops from the landslides. One image taken just as one quake struck showed people running out of a supermarket as the ground shook. Other footage showed several hundred people crowding into a school athletic field in Yiliang’s county seat, a sizable city spread along a river in a valley, as well as soldiers carrying injured people and rescue materials. Though quakes occur in the area frequently, buildings in rural areas and China’s fast-growing smaller cities and towns are often constructed poorly.

5 die in Damascus bombings

Canada closes embassy and kicks out diplomats

By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY and JOHN HEILPRIN Associated Press

BEIRUT — Two boobytrapped vehicles exploded within hours of each other Friday in Syria’s once-impregnable capital of Damascus, killing at least five police officers as rebels increasingly target President Bashar Assad’s seat of power. With the civil war intensifying, the head of the Red Cross warned after meeting with Assad that the situation in the country was “rapidly deteriorating.” Elsewhere in Damascus, shells struck a Palestinian refugee camp, killing 10 people, state media said. The uprising began in March 2011, when protests calling for political change were met by a violent government crackdown by government troops. Many in the opposition took up arms, and activists say more than 23,000 people have been killed. The government says more than 4,000 security officers are

killed nearly 90,000 people, with many of the deaths blamed on poorly built structures, including schools. Friday’s quakes destroyed 6,650 homes across several counties and townships, Xinhua said. The Yunnan seismology bureau said more than 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes. All told, 700,000 people had their lives disrupted by the quake, Xinhua said. In Luozehe, a town in Yiliang near a zinc mine, residents and state media said boulders hurtled off hillsides and houses collapsed. “It is scary. My brother was killed by falling rocks. The aftershocks struck again and again. We are so afraid,” Xinhua quoted miner Peng Zhuwen as saying.

Surprise action reinforces Canadian government’s ties with Iran’s arch foe Israel. By ROB GILLIES Associated Press

among the dead. Damascus was relatively quiet until July, when rebels launched a bold attack, capturing several neighborhoods and setting off a bomb that killed four high-ranking security officials, including the defense minister and Assad’s brother-in-law. Since then, the regime has succeeded in largely quelling

a rebel offensive in the capital, but has struggled to contain an opposition push into the northern city of Aleppo, the country’s commercial hub. Friday’s first blast in Damascus killed five officers when a motorcycle packed with explosives blew up across the street from a mosque in the Rukneddine neighborhood, state TV said.

TORONTO — Canada shut its embassy in Tehran on Friday, severed diplomatic relations and ordered Iranian diplomats to leave, accusing the Islamic Republic of being the most significant threat to world peace. The surprise action reinforces the Conservative government’s close ties with Tehran’s arch foe Israel but also removes some of Washington’s eyes and ears inside the Iranian capital. It comes as Iran’s talks with world powers over its nuclear program have stalled and Israel is weighing the option of a military strike to prevent it from developing atomic weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for

peaceful objectives only. The move also underscores the widening gaps between Western countries’ attempts to isolate and punish Iran and Tehran’s efforts to forge closer ties with energy-hungry Asian trading partners such as India and Pakistan to counter Western sanctions. Iran’s recent push to bolster and redefine its links with Asia makes the break with Canada a less serious blow to Tehran than it would have been years ago. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said that the Canadian embassy in Tehran will close immediately and Iranian diplomats in Canada have been given five days to leave. A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, Ramin Mehmanparast, called Canada’s decision “hasty and extreme” and said that Iran would soon respond, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported.

In Loving Memory of our Son

Benjamin Leggieri Jr. 5/27/57 to 9/8/07 God looked around His garden And He found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s Garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw that road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace Be Thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Sadly missed by wife Sandy, children Ben & Rachel, Mom, Dad, family & friends

OTHER OPINION: FOOD SAFETY

Making a case for eating organic

O A NEW study from Stanford University shows that organic produce probably isn’t any more nutritious than the conventional variety. We doubt the folks at Whole Foods are trembling in their Birkenstocks. We’re not aware of too many people who thought otherwise – it doesn’t make a lot of sense to assume the application of pesticides would have much impact on a fruit’s vitamin content. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t safer to eat. Perhaps the most valuable thing about the study of available research undertaken by Stanford’s Center for Health Policy is that it points up how little is yet known about the benefits of organics and the harms done by widespread pesticide use. The review made headlines because it supposedly struck a blow against the perception that cheaper, conventionally grown produce – which usually involves both pesticides and chemical fertilizers – is bad for EDITORIAL BOARD

you. “There isn’t much difference between organic and conventional foods, if you’re an adult and making a decision based solely on your health,” concluded senior study author Dena Bravata. Not only is that debatable, but it fails to get to the heart of the reason most people spend extra for organics. The Stanford researchers found studies showing that 38 percent of conventional produce contains pesticide residue (compared with 7 percent of organic produce), yet shrugged this off because the chemical traces were usually below the levels considered safe for human consumption by the Environmental Protection Agency. Meanwhile, some people buy organic for reasons that have little to do with health. Broad-scale use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers is environmentally ruinous, polluting waterways and producing a massive “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico. Los Angeles Times

’m watching with great interest the discussions concerning the construction of a roundabout in Dallas. In 1960, after graduating college, I moved to New Jersey. At that time there were traffic circles (that’s what roundabouts are known as there) everywhere. I understand New Jersey had more than 50 of them. Every time I approached one I shuddered. They were treacherous, and I thought to myself “these are insane.” I left Jersey in 1993. During that 33 years New Jersey removed most of them. The stated reason for removing them, according to New Jersey officials, was safety. Also for safety reasons, traffic lights have been added to the remaining roundabouts. Have any of the affected businesses or Dallas officials asked the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation if it checked with its neighbor as to the practicality of these monsters? When this is built there will be no pedestrian traffic, as cars will never stop. Doesn’t Misericordia University have a dormitory for medical science students within a couple hundred feet of their classrooms? Are they going to have to drive or be driven to school? I guess PennDOT had a couple of million bucks laying around that it had to spend on something. Pete Klein Dallas

Fuel-testing program encouraged by AAA

pproximately 7,000 motorists in Northwest Indiana and the surrounding Chicago area recently experienced hard starting and other drivability issues associated with their purchase of “off-spec” premium gasoline. This incident serves as a timely reminder that Pennsylvania is one of only three states that does not test the octane level or quality of gasoline sold to motorists. AAA, in a survey of its Pennsylvania members, found 83 percent supported the creation of a fuel-testing program, which easily could be accomplished by the same Weights and Measure inspectors who currently test a gallon is a gallon. Until Pennsylvania establishes a gasoline quality testing program, drivers can suffer twice from bad gasoline: first, by overpaying for the improper octane level and, second, for vehicle damage caused by contaminated gasoline.

Do fraud arrests require 174,000 hollow bullets?

t was recently reported that the Social Security Administration planned to purchase 174,000 hollow point bullets for 300 agents who make about 600 arrests. That would be 580 hollow point bullets per agent. Assuming that they expended 300 on the firing range (a generous number), that would leave 280 for each agent for the two arrests they make. How many Social Security fraud arrests last year involved the discharge of weapons requiring hollow point bullets? Joseph M. Sheehan Plains Township

Decision to delist wolves puts species in danger

or the first time in history, Congress removed a species from the endangered list. That species is the Northern Rocky Mountains gray wolf. Ignoring scientific facts, anti-wildlife politicians in Congress voted to serve special interests that make unfounded claims the iconic wolf was “bad for business.” Since then, public wolf hunts have ensued in Idaho and Montana. The U.S. Department of the Interior has proposed a disastrous plan that also will allow hunting of wolves in Wyoming. Under this plan, Wyoming could reduce the wolf population to only 100 wolves and 10 breeding pairs outside of Yellowstone National Park. In a small area around the park, licenses would be required to hunt wolves. In the other 90 percent of the state, wolves could be killed by any method, without a license. No other state allows unregulated wolf hunting. Congress’s decision to delist wolves and what is being proposed in Wyoming doesn’t only harm wolf populations. It jeopardizes every imperiled species in our nation by undercutting the Endangered Species Act and setting a dangerous precedent in which politics, not science, determines whether a species is protected. Wolves are an important part of the ecosystem and one of the greatest natural

DOONESBURY

predators of the Yellowstone region. Because the presence of wolves keeps elk on the move, key habitats have recovered because they are no longer overgrazed. And wolf viewing by tourists has a total economic impact of about $70 million for Greater Yellowstone. The gray wolf is a vital part of America’s wilderness and natural heritage. And it needs our help. Contact Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, and ask him to revise the department’s terrible proposal to let Wyoming shoot wolves on sight.

Tell lawmakers to back property tax elimination

n this time when people are struggling and money is tight, there is one thing that could give some relief. Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have the heavy burden of crippling school taxes? Well, I hope most of you have heard by now of state House Bill 1776 and its sister bill in the Senate, SB 1400. My concern today is bill 1400. I live in state Sen. Lisa Baker’s district. For years I have urged her to support the bills that state Rep. Sam Rohrer was introducing, and her reply always was that the bill never made it to the Senate. We solved that problem by introducing SB 1400. We can no longer shelf tax elimination when families continue to lose their homes to foreclosure because of overdue taxes. I urge those of you in Sen. Baker’s district to contact her and express the need for this bill to be passed. Dorothy M. Spencer Shavertown

Don’t wait for next flood to control Susquehanna

s dredging the Susquehanna River a way to solve the flooding? The Susquehanna River contains mine drainage, agriculture runoff, sediment and human-made pollutants. The soil far beneath its surface might contain PCBs, rubbish, iron, heavy metals, fertilizers, lead waste products and much more. Setting goals to dredge a river is a continuous project; don’t wait for next year’s flood to occur. The Hudson River never overflows its banks, and the material is being dumped into mine projects, with a continuous dredging system in place. The Susquehanna River in the past 80 years has cost billions of dollars in damage, lost lives and the loss of possessions. Richard Kamus Swoyersville

They ordered Molina and Algar into a back bedroom and shot them. “She was 4 foot, 10 and weighted 100 pounds, and they ambushed her with a 2-by-4,” Algar said. “This wasn’t a spur of the moment thing … It was cold and calculated.” At trial, Crawford blamed Hanley for the murders.

at the time of the murders. The issue before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which will hear arguments on Sept. 12, is whether the U.S. Supreme Court ruling applies retroactively to defendants, like Crawford, who have exhausted all other appeals. The state court, hearing appeals in cases out of Northampton and Philadelphia counties, must also decide what remedy is available to the defendants to challenge their sentences. 480 juvie lifers affected There’s a lot riding on the outcome of the hearing. It’s estimated there are 480 juvenile lifers now serving time in Pennsylvania who could be eligible for relief should the defense prevail. Algar, of Dickson City, said he knew there would be years of appeals in Crawford’s case, but never expected they would continue 13 years after the murder. “I had faith in the justice system once,” Algar said. “He belongs where he is. If the justice system is working, this will never happen.” Algar said the brutality and cold-blooded nature of the murders convince him Crawford will always be a threat to society.

ers who drifted from state to state, after they flagged her down at a truck stop. “They asked her if she knew of any place they could stay,” Robert Algar said. “It was the beginning of the end. It was so senseless. All she wanted to do was to help those kids.” Diana Algar let Crawford and Hanley stay at her camper for a

few days. She was exiting a shower building at the campground when one of them smacked her in the face with a board, then ordered her back to the camper. There, prosecutors said, Crawford and Hanley made a makeshift silencer out of a twoliter soda bottle, which was taped over the barrel of a .22 cali-

Appeals failed before Crawford is serving his sentence at the State Correctional Institution at Greene in Waynesburg. His motion seeks only a new sentencing hearing. His convictions have previously been upheld by several appellate courts. Even if Crawford is granted a new hearing, there’s no guarantee he won’t be resentenced to life. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling does not forbid a judge from sentencing a juvenile to life. It only precludes a mandatory life sentence, requiring a judge to hold a hearing to consider mitigating factors in the juvenile’s life when deciding a sentence. Algar said he hopes Crawford doesn’t get that far, but if he does, Algar vowed he’ll be there to oppose a lesser sentence. “I don’t know how anybody can do what they did to another human being,” he said of Crawford and Hanley. “They’re animals.”

In one woman’s eyes, killer is changed man Cindy Sanford says she and her husband view Kenneth Crawford as a son. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

MIFFILINVILLE – As a businesswoman, wife and parent, Cindy Sanford, 53, never envisioned she’d befriend a convicted murderer. Devout Christians, she and her husband, Keith, 60, had always taken a hard line against criminals and had little sympathy for sob stories of why their lives went wrong, she said. Everything changed about three years ago, when Kenneth Crawford, convicted of murdering two people when he was 15, came into their lives. To the public, Crawford is a vicious killer who, along with another man, beat and shot Diana Algar and Jose Molina in Hollen-

back Township in 1999. And that’s what the Sanfords, thought, too – until they got to know him by first corresponding through the mail, then through monthly visits to the State Correctional Institution at Greene in Waynesburg. Crawford filed a motion that seeks to overturn his sentence based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared mandatory life sentences for juveniles to be unconstitutional. The action upset Algar’s husband, Robert, who vowed Friday to fight Crawford’s effort for early release. Cindy Sanford said she understands Algar’s feelings, but she’s convinced Crawford is a changed man who deserves a second chance. It’s been a long, difficult journey, Sanford said, as she’s had to deal with her revulsion for Crawford’s crimes, and the deep conflict she feels when she thinks of the devastating impact they had

on the Algar and Molina families. “I have deep sympathy for what these people must have gone through,” she said. “I fully understand if they feel he should remain behind bars for life.” But Sanford said she now sees another side of Crawford – that of a man who is deeply remorseful for his crimes, and who, with their help, has dedicated himself to finding redemption though his Christian faith. Sanford, the owner of an art store, was introduced to Crawford after someone showed her a piece of his artwork. She was “absolutely repulsed” when she learned he was in jail for murder. “I almost cut if off, but through much prayer, I just knew, I was convinced this was a sincere young man who was deeply sorry,” she said. Sanford said her feelings changed after she learned of Crawford’s troubled life – something she acknowledges she had

previously dismissed as an excuse to avoid responsibility. She learned his parents were both alcoholics and he was subjected to beatings and neglect. By his early teens he was out on his own, scavenging to survive any way he could. That’s not an excuse or justification to commit crimes, she stressed, but there are factors she believes a judge should have been allowed to consider. Sanford stressed she’s not advocating that Crawford get a “light” sentence should he get a new hearing. She wants him to have a chance to present mitigating evidence, and to show how remorseful he is for his crimes. Regardless of what happens, Sanford said she and her husband will remain committed to Crawford, whom they view as a son. “Even if he’s in jail the rest of his life, as long as I live, I will visit him,” she said.

ers have added jobs for 30 months in a row now. He did so with a nod to public frustration. “We know it’s not good enough,” Obama said, dealing with the downbeat news mere hours after his confetti-flying Democratic National Convention. “We need to create more jobs, faster.” With 60 frenetic days left until the election, the economic report was not grim enough to alter the political narrative of a consistently tight race. Yet the attention it commanded eroded any hope of a post-convention boost for Obama. Instead, it underlined his point that economic recovery will not be “quick or easy.” No president has won re-election with unemployment over 8 percent since Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Obama has embraced that Great Depression comparison, hoping to show why he and the nation need more time. Their conventions behind them and their debates just ahead, Obama and Romney sprinted into the next phase of campaign, targeting eight or so toss-up states. The two men headed the same way Friday, appearing in Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with small but potentially decisive electoral prizes. The economy has added just 139,000 jobs a month this year, a slower pace than last year. It takes roughly 200,000 jobs a month to shrink unemployment. In perspective, the economy was bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs when Obama took office, but that does not comfort the jobless today. The new results only sharpened the competing and defining storylines of the election. Romney says the poor pace of job growth demands that Obama be thrown out of office, while the incumbent implores voters to compare the candidates’ economic visions and see why only his would help the middle class. If the jobs numbers did hang over Obama, he did not show it, smiling and waving during rallies in Portsmouth, N.H., and Iowa City, Iowa. In both cities he returned to the themes of his convention speech, poking fun again at Romney while shrinking his competitor’s economic theory to one idea. “Tax cuts. Tax cuts. Cut some more regulations. Oh, and more tax cuts,” Obama told the thousands who packed the grounds at Portsmouth’s Strawbery Banke Museum. “Tax cuts when times are good. Tax cuts when times are bad. Tax cuts to help you lose a few extra pounds. Tax cuts to help you improve your love life. It’ll cure anything.” Romney was biting as well. On repeated occasions Friday, he challenged Obama’s competency, lumping together the jobs report and Obama’s prime-time convention address. “There was nothing in the speech that gives confidence that the president knows what he’s doing when it comes to jobs,” Romney told Fox News. It was a rejoinder to Thursday night, when Obama stood before a cheering crowd and essentially put the candidates on different levels. “The times have changed, and so have I,” Obama said. “I’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the president.” Trying to extend the buzz of

Obama must overcome jobs obstacle A N A LY S I S By TOM RAUM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The disappointing August jobs report raises yet another campaign obstacle for President Barack Obama and makes his hopes of holding onto his own job even more challenging — especially in closely contested battleground states with painfully high levels of unemployment. Coming less than 12 hours after the president accepted his party’s nomination for a second term, the lackluster report could wipe out or diminish any traditional bounce in the polls he might have gotten from the festive, well-choreographed three-day Democratic National Convention. “The broad message here is flat, flat, flat,” said economist Heidi Shierholz with the laboraffiliated Economic Policy Center. A disappointing report for one month might be dismissed in normal times as an aberration, she said, “but a stagnant report when the unemployment rate is over 8 percent represents a continuation of the crisis,” meaning that getting back to pre-recession employment levels will take many more months, even years. The bleak news played right into the hands of Republicans, who claim that Obama’s policies inhibit job production and have made the economic picture worse. “Did you see the jobs report this morning by the way?” Republican rival Mitt Romney asked reporters in Sioux City, Iowa. “Almost 400,000 people dropped out of the work force altogether. It’s is simply unimaginable.” The overall unemployment rate declined from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent last month, which should be good news, but the “improvement” came only because more people gave up looking for work. Just 96,000 new jobs were created in August, sharply down from the revised July number of 141,000 and below the threshold of 100,000 to 150,000 new jobs needed each month just to keep pace with working-age population growth. That’s not good news for an incumbent president up for re-election in just 60 days. It was another sharp reminder that the economy isn’t Obama’s friend. Even though the president likes to talk about recent private-sector job growth — for 30 consecutive months now, as he noted Friday in a campaign stop in New Hampshire — there are still 261,000 fewer people employed today than when he was sworn in. The jobless rate then was 7.9 percent. It hasn’t been below 8 percent since. his convention, Obama went back on the trail with Vice President Joe Biden and their wives as well. One of the longest days of his campaign would take him from North Carolina to New Hampshire to Iowa and ultimately Florida, where he begins a bus tour on Saturday. The monthly jobs snapshot came out even before organizers in Charlotte had finished clearing away the convention.

Market and turning off the bridge onto River Street would no longer be able to make those turns when the light is red. It also means elimination of the right-turn-only lane onto the bridge, so both southbound lanes on River could continue South toward Northampton Street, rather than the current right-turn-only lane funneling traffic onto the bridge. Sartori said that change would substantially increase traffic flow during peak hours while

making it safer for pedestrians. A proposed median from Union to Jackson Streets is dropped in the new plan, essentially retaining the current four-lane flow. A larger median from South Street to within a few hundred feet of Northampton would be replaced by a raised median “stamped” to look like brick or a similar material, and a proposed shoulder on the southbound side would be moved to the northbound, or city side, along Wilkes University.

The northbound lane from Market to the Millennium portal would be one lane with a raised, stamped median, up to a crosswalk with no signal. After that, River Street would remain two lanes in both directions, as it is now. Improvements in both signals and signs would be made at all intersections to increase pedestrian safety. Sartori said the early plans had been drafted with a possible construction date of 2014, but the revisions probably push it to 2015.

Chadwick said he has counseled Picchini on one of the challenges senior facilities face – health care and budgets. “It’s hard to forecast and plan (for the future) when you’re fixed on federal and state budgets,” Chadwick said. Picchini, who has a background in accounting, said he realizes the financial aspect is a large part of the business, but that the care and compassion United Methodist Homes offers is second to none. “If you live in independent housing and need therapy, it’s all right here on the same campus,” Picchini said. “It’s close for the

residents and their family members. I think it’s a great place to live.” The Wesley Village campus will hold an antique car show today from 12 to 3 p.m. (registration is required) and often has appreciation dinners and luncheons for employees and volunteers alike. Picchini said his new position with United Methodist Homes – he had previously worked as the company’s chief financial officer – is a long-term commitment. Picchini said in the future, United Methodist Homes may be repositioning and upgrading its facilities, and may expand in the next few years. Picchini said that may include new services offered by the company, new buildings and repairs on existing properties.

Panel vacates suspensions for bounty

Lions not afraid of a tough road test

The decision, which will allow the players to play in Sunday’s season openers, does not affect Saints coach Sean Payton’s season-long ban.

The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS – The suspensions of Jonathan Vilma and three other players in the NFL’s bounty investigation were lifted Friday by a three-member appeals panel and the league reinstated those players a few minutes later. While the ruling allows Saints linebacker Vilma, banned for the 2012 season, Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove to play immediately, it does not permanently void their suspensions. Still, the ruling comes just two

days before the first full slate of NFL games this season and is a setback for Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Goodell would “make an expedited determination of the discipline imposed” for violating the league’s bounty rule. “Until that determination is made, the four players are reinstated and eligible to play starting this weekend,” Aiello said. Vilma tweeted: “Victory is mine!!!! -stewie griffin” Added Fujita: “I’m overwhelmed with all the support. Thank you so

much everyone. Can’t tell you how much it means to me.” The ruling does not affect New Orleans coach Sean Payton, suspended for the season, interim coach Joe Vitt (six games) or general manager Mickey Loomis (six games). While the panel did not address the merits of the NFL’s bounty investigation, it said Goodell overstepped his authority in hearing the players’ appeals of their punishment for their roles in the Saints bounty program that paid cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents. The panel’s decision states that Special Master Stephen Burbank,

not Goodell, should discipline players for receiving money from a pool that paid for big plays. Goodell’s role, the panel said, should be limited to whether he can prove the players intended to injure opponents, which would fall in the category of conduct detrimental to the game. Players and coaches implicated in the bounty pool have testified under oath in a related federal court case they never intended to injure opposing players. “Whether the commissioner tries to readdress the situation or not is his call,” said Peter Ginsberg, Vilma’s attorney.

Penn State players say they know the pitfalls of playing away from Beaver Stadium. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -The derisive chants will be nothing new. “We’ve played some tough road games,” Matt McGloin said. “Wisconsin, Ohio State, you name it. We’ve heard the worst things you can possibly hear.” After these last 10 months, being listed as a 10-point underdog is no big U P N E X T deal. Penn State “Underdog Nittany Lions pretty much at means nothing to Virginia us anymore,” MiCavaliers chael Zordich Noon today ABC said. “We’ve been underdogs for awhile now.” Even the opening loss to Ohio isn’t being treated like the end of the world. “The only people panicking are people on TV talking about, we’re gonna win three games and all this stuff,” Kyle Carter said. “And I don’t feel none of that on this team.” So what, exactly, is bothering Penn State headed into today’s game at Virginia?

Yankees survive elimination with ninth-inning homer heroics from Melky Mesa. By DAN HICKLING For the Times Leader

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Don’t unpack those suitcases yet. The longest road trip in Triple-A history was within one out of coming to and end.

ON THE MARK

The richest harness horse of all time invades the Downs tonight in what shapes up to be a terrific Saturday evening of racing. Foiled Again, an eight-year old Dragon Again gelding, surpassed the $4 million dollar barrier, just last week at Mohawk Raceway, when the veteran pacer upset a star studded field in the $794,870 Canadian Pacing Derby. Trained by Ron Burke, the aged pacing sensation got a crafty drive, from Yannick Gingras, to win by a hard fought neck scoring in a fast mile of1:48.3.

Wyoming Area’s Nick O’Brien, left, and Mid Valley’s Tyler Collins grab each other’s facemasks on a quarterback keeper in high school football action Friday night in Throop. Neither foul was called by the officials.

QB O’Brien leads Warriors to victory By TOM FOX For The Times Leader

THROOP – He rolled out to his right, scrambled for about three seconds and didn’t see his receiver’s route open. Instead, Nick O’Brien looked down the field about 40 yards and saw teammate Cody Schmitz jumping up and down -a Mid-Valley defender not within 20 yards. Fifty-six yards and one amazing catch later, Wyoming Area was out and rolling. O’Brien put on a show in Lackawanna County, running for two touchdowns, passing for another and picking off a pass late in the fourth quarter as the Warriors snuck past the Spartans, 28-12. Not too bad, considering the Warrior senior quarterback was nursing a minor injury in the first half. “Just minor,” he said. “I knew that I had to get back into the game.” Unfortunately for Mid-Valley, he did. Two plays show O’Brien’s heart. On the third-down pass play, he avoided two defenders, and had the presence of mind to find Schmitz, who snuck behind the Spartan secondary and was seemingly forgotten about. That score gave Wyoming Area a 21-12 lead in the third quarter. “It wasn’t designed that way. It was supposed to be a quick pass, but the pocket broke down,” he said. “I just saw him jumping and waving his hands. I threw it as far as I could, and he made a big play. That was huge. We were kind of at a stalemate scoring, so it was so big to get a huge play like that. Plus, it was third down. That was the changing point of the game.” O’Brien’s second touchdown run was a picture of beauty – breaking the line of scrimmage, spinning out of a tackle, sidestepping another defender and scampering down the right sideline for the 55-yard score. In all, the senior ran for 129 yards on 13 carries and threw for another 64. “It all starts up front, and the line did a great job,” the quarterback said. “Last week, we had a tough game, and it was physical. This week, we physically beat Mid-Valley up front. Our line does a great job each week. Our playmakers are just going to make plays because of our line and our coaching. That’s what we feed off of.” It could have been one of those days for the Warriors.

The first time Wyoming Area touched the ball, O’Brien returned a punt almost 70 yards for a touchdown, only to see it erased because of a holding call. The Warriors fumbled the ball seven times, losing three of them, and Mid-Valley grabbed a lot of momentum when Matthew Tanner just barely reached the end zone on a fourth-andgoal from the 9, cutting the lead to 14-12 in the third quarter. But two spectacular plays and a strong defensive presence was too much for Mid-Valley to rally back from. “Nick wanted to get his motor running after last week’s game,” Wyoming Area head coach Randy Spencer said. “He kept grinding at it, but he’s a tough kid. His leadership really showed. He challenged our football team in the fourth quarter, and everyone responded.” Wyoming Area (1-1) built a 14-0 lead on Schmitz’s 76-yard punt return in the opening quarter, and the first of O’Brien’s TD scores. But Mid-Valley trimmed the lead to 14-6 at halftime when Tanner found a streaking Ron Tomasetti down the middle of the field. The Spartans had the game to within two, 14-12, with five minutes left in the third, and were later stopped by the Wyoming Area defense inside the red zone in the final 12 minutes. “Mid-Valley has some outstanding athletes,” Spencer said. “They have big-play potential, and are never out of a football game. But we have a senior team, and playmakers in spots that allow us to do some things. I’m proud of the way we stepped up. Matt Tanner is a dynamic kid in his own right, and they have some good receivers.” Wyoming Area ...................... 7 7 7 7 — 28 Mid Valley .............................. 0 6 6 0 — 12 First Quarter WA -- Cody Schmitz 76 punt return (A.J.

Susquehanna knocks off Northwest The Times Leader staff

SHICKSHINNY — Northwest’s attempt at a fourth-quarter rally fell short as backup quarterback Marcus Welliver’s pass fell incomplete through his receiver’s hands in a 16-14 non-conference loss to Susquehanna on Friday night. Despite the wide-open drop, the Rangers’ fate was decided thoroughly throughout the game with successful drives stalling on penalties and mental mistakes. “We had an opportunity to win this football game. We drove down, but we dropped an open pass, but it’s not his fault,” Northwest coach Carl Majer said. “One play, and that doesn’t describe a football game. We win as a team and we lose as a team.” Northwest had opportunities as it moved the ball well, mixing up offensive packages with wildcat variations and spread receiver sets, but a crucial safety set the Rangers back even further in their quest at a game-winning drive.

DelVal QB too much for Wyoming Valley West By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

MILFORD – Sometimes, Bryan Schor hears it from his coach when he gives a little extra. But after what he did to Wyoming Valley West on Friday, the only sounds Schor heard were wrapped up in cheers from the Delaware Valley crowd. Schor threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns, continually torching the Spartans defense while leading Delaware Valley to a 35-14 victory. “I was able to get out of the pocket and make some plays,” Schor shrugged, noting DelVal

coach Keith Olsommer scolds him for prolonging the risk of injury. “It’s something that’s focused upon a little bit. At times, it’s something you have to do.” Too many time for Valley West. Schor fired a 23-yard touchdown pass to Lucas Markowitz to get the scoring started in the first quarter, tossed a laser over a defender for a 36-yard score to Markowitz with 52 seconds left in the first half and added a 43-yard touchdown bomb to Nick McIntyre to start the scoring in the second half.

DAN HICKLING/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees shortstop Ramiro Pena gloves a grounder hit by Che-Hsuan Lin of the Pawtucket Red Sox, in the top of the second inning of a Governor’s Cup playoff game played at Frontier Field in Rochester, N.Y., on Friday.

OVER Continued from Page 1B

Kevin Russo to cut the deficit to 3-2. It was just one of those nights. The Yanks fell behind 2-0 in the top of the second, when Paw Sox hitters Bryce Brentz and Mike Rivera swatted consecutive pitches from O’Connor over the left field wall. The first of those came with one away, and sent left fielder Mustelier to the fence. When Rivera turned on O’Connor’s next offering, Mustelier didn’t bother to give chase. The Yankees mustered a response in the bottom of the second, after a lead off walk by Luke Murton, followed by Melky Mesa’s single to left. The opportunity was squandered when Buckner retired the

next three Yankees in order. O’Connor, who deserved a better fate, didn’t allow another hit before giving way in the seventh to reliever Manny Delcarmen. The Yanks clawed back from a 3-0 deficit to make matters close. Gustavo Molina set them on the comeback trail in the eighth, with a solo homer, which ended a string of 19 Yankee hitters having been retired. It appeared meaningless at the time. However, thanks to Mesa’s heroics, appearances were indeed deceiving. NOTES: Although his arrival to Triple-A was a belated one, the presence of Murton has been a mutual blessing, to himself and to the club. Winding up his third full professional season, the 26 year old power hitting first baseman from Georgia Tech has made a steady climb through the Yankee system, having spent

this season at Double-A Trenton (.246, 25 HR, 68 RBI). “To have the opportunity to come up for the playoffs,” said Murton, “was very humbling. At the same time, it’s an honor to come up and fit in with these guys.” … Visiting the Yankee clubhouse was Cito Culver, New York’s top draft choice in 2010 and a native of nearby Irondequoit.

Crusaders defense shuts down Hazleton Area Coughlin pitches shutout and posts a pair of safeties in road victory Friday night. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – It wasn’t exactly the way the gameplan was expected to be executed Friday night. That really didn’t matter to Coughlin, though. What did was the Crusaders got their second victory – and second shutout – of the season. Coughlin scored on a fluky TD pass and two safeties, and its defense dominated Hazleton Area on the way to a 17-0 Wyoming Valley Conference interdivi-

sional victory. “The kids came and persevered and finally capitalized on some of the mistakes,” Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti said. “But we got to get a lot better.” Cinti called the victory “an ugly win.” It was even an uglier loss for Hazleton Area, which fell to 0-2 and has been shutout in both games. Hazleton Area managed just 34 yards and three first downs. The Cougars fumbled seven times, losing four of them. And bad center snaps led to a safety from punt formation and deflated their best scoring chance. “I was very proud defensively,” Cinti said. “That was an excellent effort two weeks in a row. From the second half of last

week’s game through this game the defense played phenomenal.” Defensive linemen Brad Emerick and Anthony Khalife put the final stamp on the defense’s performance. Emerick chased down Hazleton Area quarterback Julius Ward in the end zone, recording a safety for a 10-0 lead with 8:26 to play. Kahlife batted a pass and recovered a fumble on Hazleton

Area’s next possession. Then Zac Evans, who rushed for a game-high 146 yards, finished off the Cougars by recovering a fumble on their final chance to dent the deficit. “Our defense has been working hard,” Emerick said. “Coach (Ed) Michaels is a great coach. He has us on a nice regiment in the weight room and on the field. We’ve just been playing together. We can’t play as individu-

als, we have to play as one team.” Unconventional teamwork led to Coughlin’s first touchdown on its first possession of the game. Quarterback Tim Pilch tried to hit receiver Hunter Bednarczyk in the end zone on a thirdand-9 play from the Hazleton Area 15. Bednarczyk batted the pass in the air and right to tight end Khalife for a 6-0 lead. It was the Crusaders’ first touchdown pass of the season and only completion of the game. Coughlin increased its lead to 8-0 by halftime when Hazleton Area punter Glenn Zukoski had to chase down a wild snap inside the 5 and elected to fling the ball out of the end zone for a safety.

Grenadiers fumbling continues

It’s just like old times for Dawgs

By JOE BARESS For The Times Leader

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

DUNMORE -- GAR fumbled the ball six times and threw three interceptions en route to its second straight double-digit loss as Dunmore defeated the Grenadiers 29-0 on Friday. The defending District 2 Class 2A champion now sits at 0-2 on the season. “The first half we played decent football,” GAR coach Paul Wiedlich Jr. said. “It comes down to mental mistakes, mental miscues and mental breakdowns. We turned the ball over too much again and we’re going to work on those Monday.” Dunmore gained the lead midway through the first quarter when Austin Seamon scored on a five-yard run to give the Bucks a 7-0 advantage. On the ensuing possession, Dunmore capitalized on a Rashaun Mathis fumble, recording a five play, 35-yard drive. John Rinaldi capped off the scoring drive with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Seamon to give the Bucks a 15-0 lead with two minutes left in the first. Despite three more turnovers in the first half, the Grenadiers’ defense held the deficit at 15 points heading into the half. “We should have been up or at least tied going into halftime,” Wiedlich said. “The turnovers are unacceptable and it’s going to cease. We need guys on the field that aren’t going to turn the ball over.” On the first possession of the third quarter, Dunmore converted two fourth down plays to extend the Bucks’ drive. Rinaldi capped off the scoring drive with an 18-yard touchdown run to give Dunmore a 22-0 advantage. After Dunmore forced a threeand-out, Rinaldi handed the ball off to Seamon who scampered 44 yards for the touchdown. The run gave Seamon 200 yards on the night and Dunmore the 29-0 lead. Despite having opportunities, the Grenadiers couldn’t penetrate the Dunmore defense that hasn’t allowed a point this season in two games. GAR managed just one touchdown in its first two games and has been outscored by its opponents 63-7. GAR also compiled 12 fumbles, eight fumbles lost and four interceptions in its first two games.

BERWICK – Friday night seemed like old times at Berwick. Coach George Curry on the sidelines at Crispin Field and his Dawgs making their opponent look inferior in many ways. In Curry’s first home game back as coach, his grandson C.J. Curry threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, Matt Cashman ran for110 yards and a touchdown and the defense only allowed 47 total yards in the first half as the Dawgs rolled to a 41-0 win over Pottsville to move to 2-0 on the season. Curry said he didn’t even think about the emotional effect of his return to the Crispin Field sideline because he was too worried about Pottsville. But he admitted it was like usual. “Felt like I never left,” George Curry said. “It was good to coach here. The crowd was nice and it means a lot to our kids.” The Bulldogs got off to a great start. After forcing the Crimson Tide (1-1) to punt on the first drive of the game, Berwick was pinned on its 6.

Meyers’ Zahair Duncell runs Friday night against Old Forge.

Big 2nd quarter sinks Meyers By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – After a slow first quarter, Old Forge rode a 29-point second quarter blitzkrieg to a big halftime lead and eventual 42-7 defeat of Meyers at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium on Friday night in a non-conference showdown. Blue Devils running back Brian Tomasetti punched in two short scoring runs that complimented senior quarterback Brenden Wahl’s deep scoring passes of 73, 50 and 39 yards that left Meyers (1-1) looking for answers in its locker room that it never found in the second half. “We started slowly last week and we wanted to come out this week and take whatever opened up for us,” Old Forge (2-0) head coach Mike Schuback said. “Brendan worked really hard this week with his receivers and the guys up front gave him the time he needed. “I told him before the season that it’s his time now and that he’s been overdue for a big game.” Wahl finished his night midway through the third quarter after a one-play strike to Michael Vieira, finishing his day 8of-9 for 258 yards, four scores and no turnovers. The touch Wahl showed to hit Vieira perfectly in stride for a 68-yard touchdown probably would have been his best play of the night, if not for a one worthy of the highlight reel in the second quarter. On third-and-5 at midfield, Wahl scrambled to his right and met a wall of Mohawks before deftly reversing direction, taking a look up the field and then alertly stepping back from the line of scrimmage for a simple flip to a wide open Tomasetti.

“Old Forge came out with a good scheme. They were mixing up their fronts and had some players switching positions at the last second and with a young offensive line, some of my guys hadn’t seen that in a game yet.”

Corey Hanson Meyers head coach

The senior running back rode a crushing block 25 yards downfield for a 21-0 lead on a play that left some Meyers defenders shrugging their shoulders and wondering what else could have been done. “Once I saw that the play started to break, I just tried to move around enough to keep some things going and fortunately for us, my teammates saw and did the same,” Wahl said. “I didn’t lose any faith in them out there on that play and it turned out to be a big one for us.” Wahl added another score before a Tomasetti run ended the outburst in the quarter, this time rolling to his left and placing the ball right on the fingertips of Jake Manetti. While Meyers still played with a decided intensity in the second half, the last two quarters went much like the first – Old Forge’s large and athletic front four bringing pressure, pressure and more pressure. Speedster Parrish Bennet, who erupted last week for 284 yards, was held to 44 yards on 20 carries and had to fight for every last one. Quarterback Teaguen Labatch, who had a career game in the season opener, was hounded into two interceptions. “Old Forge came out with a good scheme. They were mixing up their fronts and had

some players switching positions at the last second and with a young offensive line, some of my guys hadn’t seen that in a game yet,” Meyers head coach Corey Hanson said. “The mistakes I saw tonight up front, they were mental mistakes that I think we can fix.” Meyers got on the scoreboard late after a 9-yard scramble from Teaguen Labatch.

after Pecorelli’s TD catch with 4:51 left in the half for a 20-0 advantage. Pecorelli’s run made it 28-0 at the half. “I always dreamed of playing for Curry and now we have it. It’s a dream come true,” Pecorelli said. “We just stuck it to them run and pass. They thought we were overrated and we obviously showed we aren’t. We had to come out and punch them in the mouth to get that point across.” The Berwick defense was immovable until Coach Curry put in his backups in the fourth quarter with the score 41-0. Until that point when the Tide drove 75 yards and came up empty, they only managed 72 total yards. Berwick also had a few missed opportunities on defense or the score could’ve been well out of hand as two interceptions that would have been easy scores the other way were dropped. “They’re playing hard with a new defense. To learn that in two months…” Curry noted. Up next, Berwick stays at home and welcomes Wyoming Valley Conference Division 3A foe Dallas.

Black Knights ground game batters Meteors By DOM DELLOS For The Times Leader

LEHMAN TWP. – Lake-Lehman’s barrage on the ground was steady and effective as it ran all over Montrose en route to a 49-0 victory on Friday night. The Black Knights amassed 353 yards rushing with two touchdowns from junior Dustin Jones, who ran for145 yards on17 carries. John VanScoy added two touchdowns of his own and 61 yards on 11 carries. “We want to run the ball,” Black Knights head coach Jerry Gilsky said. “That’s what we instill here and what I’ve always wanted to do here at Lehman.” VanScoy opened the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run with 5:44 left in the first quarter,

capping a nine-play drive that started on their 8-yard line. After an interception by Josh Sayre one minute later, the Black Knights ran off another nine-play scoring drive which ended in a Tom Donovan 6-yard touchdown run. Donovan contributed on the defensive side as well, recovering a Meteors fumble early in the second quarter that led to another 7yard touchdown by VanScoy with 8:53 left in the first half. The Black Knights defense continued to smother the Meteors, forcing a key turnover on downs late in the first half on a Brian Derhammer sack. LakeLehman had three interceptions and four forced fumbles. “We knew what they were doing throwing the ball, and we put

Quick-starting Lions have way with Hawkeyes By ROBERT TOMKAVAGE For The Times Leader

FACTORYVILLE -- Lackawanna Trail struck quickly and rolled to a 51-12 win over Hanover Area in a non-league football game at Lions Pride Stadium. Jeremy Greenley returned the opening kickoff 75 yards to give Lackawanna Trail a 7-0 lead just 18 seconds into the game. “I saw a big hole…but I ran into one of my blockers and had to bounce to the outside,” Greenley said. “I got a killer block that really helped. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to score.” After forcing a three-and-out, the Lions put together a 16-play, 77-yard drive that was capped by

a 4-yard touchdown run by Greenley for a 13-0 Lackawanna Trail lead. The senior praised the play of his blockers. “The offensive line really stepped it up,” Greenley said. “We have a young offensive line, but there are really stepping up when they are needed and that’s what really counts.” The Lions three-back rotation of Greenley, Pete Murazzi and Jonathon Zedar combined to rush for 315 yards and four touchdowns. “We’re fortunate to have three or four really good backs,” Lackawanna Trail coach Steve Jervis said. “It’s difficult to key on just one and they are all explosive. At

any point in time, one of them can take it the distance.” Quarterback Zack Goodrich connected with Zedar for a 15yard touchdown on the Lions’ next possession, and Lackwanna Trail (2-0) led 20-0. Greenley scored his third touchdown of the game on an 8yard run to cap a four-play 90yard drive. The key place of the possession was a 55-yard run by Murazzi. Zedar ran 23 yards for a touchdown after James Owens recovered a fumble by Ya’Sir Jones at the Hawkeyes 35-yard line. After Murazzi’s extra point, Lackawanna Trail led 33-0. Murazzi added a 33-yard field goal as time expired in the first

half to give the Lions a 36-0 advantage. Hanover Area (0-2) finally got on the scoreboard when quarterback Casey O’Mack scrambled for a 25-yard touchdown to cut the Lions’ lead to 36-6 early in the third quarter. On the ensuing drive, Lackawanna Trail scored on its seventh consecutive drive to start the game. Murazzi scored on a 2-yard run to end a nine-play 55-yard drive. Hanover Area recovered a fumble by Lackawanna Trail’s Bryan Tuft, and scored nine plays later on a 1-yard quarterback keeper by O’ Mack with just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Despite giving up two scores, the Li-

ons held the Hawkeyes to just 139 yards of total offense. “Defensively, it all starts up front,” Jervis said. “We graduated three kids last year and the kids we have playing on the defensive line right now are doing a real nice job controlling the line of scrimmage.” Cooper Rosiak finished the Lions’ scoring with a 4-yard touchdown run with under two minutes left in the game. Hanover Area head coach Ron Hummer is hopeful the Hawkeyes will be able to improve as the season progresses.

A Knight-mare for the Patriots

Comets stuff NP’s late run

Invaders too much for Tigers

By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

WRIGHT TWP. – It was a play that worked all night for North Pocono -- sweep right to Ricky Goodall. Crestwood Greg Myers knew the two-point conversion call. Tyler Robinson knew it. Even the Comets band could have guessed the play call. Crestwood’s Robinson broke to the inside, beat his lineman and wrapped Goodall to the ground, stalling a potential go-ahead twopoint conversion to secure a 21-20 victory Friday over North Pocono. “We know 21 is their guy,” Robinson said. “We really didn’t want to get beat on that sweep anymore. I beat my guy.” “We had a feeling that the toss sweep was coming,” Myers said. “The bottom line is that our kids stepped up.” The Trojans decided to go for two after Garrett Fisher punched in an 8-yard run with 1:03 remaining. North Pocono coach Greg Dolhon decided to end the game in the regulation by putting the ball in his top running back’s hands. “We were struggling with the extra point,” Dolhon said. “Our kids were playing so hard all game we had to go for it.” Crestwood quarterback Jay Popson ran for a 3-yard score to put the Comets ahead by 21-14 margin. He set up the play by evading defenders and the out-ofbounds line with a third-down 9yard carry to put the Comets in the red zone. Popson finished with two rushing touchdowns and a 75-yard passing score to Kota Kishel. Popson completed six passes for 147 yards. “Jay’s a phenomenal athlete,” Myers said. “Any time you put the ball in an athlete’s hands, he is going to make some plays. There is no doubt Jay got better from week one. That play to Kota Kishel is just a sign of how good he is going to be.” Kishel caught four passes for 117 yards. The go-ahead touchdown run came after Crestwood fumbled on the Trojan goal line to start the fourth quarter. The Comet defense forced a quick three-andout before the winning drive. Goodell racked up 143 yards rushing for the Trojans.

Pittston Area’s Marc Romanczuk picks off a pass in the end zone during the Patriots 43-0 loss to Scranton on Friday.

Pittston Area shut out by Scranton sive lineman to end Pittston Area’s scoring threat. From that point forward, Scranton ran down the clock as much as possible before Marcus Morrison pounded the ball into the end zone for one final score, giving Scranton the 43-0 lead. “The kids are playing together and sticking together,” Scranton coach Mike Marichak said. “If they play together, good things can happen as we saw tonight.”

By ZACH DOLEIDEN For The Times Leader

SCRANTON – Coming off of a season-opening shutout loss against Abington Heights last week, Pittston Area looked to get the ship righted against Scranton on Friday night. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Scranton came ready to play, handing Pittston Area its second loss of the season in a 43-0 romp at Scranton Memorial Stadium. Things clicked from the getgo for the Knights as they scored on their first two offensive drives. With 3:58 left in the first quarter, Scranton quarterback Marlinn Waiters threw a 15-yard strike to receiver Karlon Quiller before tailback Jake McCarthy found the end zone on a 15-yard gallop to give the Knights an early 14-0 lead with 1:50 remaining in the quarter. At the same time, Pittston Area struggled mightily on offense, failing to pick up a first down for much of the first half. Its lone first down came on tailback Justin Wilk’s 66-yard run up the gut on his first carry of the game. Scranton extended its lead to 21-0 in the second quarter when McCarthy scored on a 3-yard burst up the middle. After Pittston Area turned the

guys in positions to be successful,” Gilsky said. “That’s what we expect, I like our defense this year.” After a 38-yard reception by Jones, Josh Sayre scored a 4yard touchdown with only 6 seconds remaining in the half, and Lake-Lehman took a 28-0 lead into halftime.

Sam Falcone pulls in a pass for a first down against Scranton on Friday night.

ball over on downs on its ensuing possession, Waiters tossed his second touchdown of the game for the Knights on a 21yard lob to receiver Jim McNally on a corner fade. This pushed Scranton’s lead to 28-0 going into halftime. Scranton didn’t wait long to pick up the scoring where it left off in the third quarter as Quiller returned the opening kickoff 84 yards down the right sideline to put the Knights up 35-0. With the Mercy Rule now in effect, Pittston Area began to respond, intercepting Waiters in the end zone to end Scranton’s next possession. The run-heavy Patriot offense

then had its best drive of the game to start the fourth quarter, methodically moving the ball down the field into Knights territory. Until this point in the game, it appeared as though Pittston Area coach Mike Barrett’s message to the team after last week’s loss about limiting mistakes on offense had been taken to heart. However, the wheels soon fell off as the interceptions that plagued Pittston Area in its season-opener reared their ugly head. On fourth-and-10 from Scranton’s 30-yard line, quarterback Kyle Gattusso was hurried and threw the ball right to a defen-

TUNKHANNOCK -- A battle early in the third quarter was a blowout by the end of the period. West Scranton scored three touchdowns in a span of 5:20 in the third quarter to roll to a 38-6 victory Friday night. Marquise Brownlee ran for scores of 23 and 3 yards, capping a 166-yard, three-touchdown night for the Invaders’ featured back. Demitris Garcia added a 69yard scoring run sandwiched between Brownlee’s runs. He also had a 50-yard jaunt in the fourth quarter to set up West Scranton’s final score. He finished with 146 yards on eight carries. West Scranton had 268 yards rushing in the second half on 18 carries. Tunkhannock received the opening kickoff of the second half and went 61 yards to score, making it 14-6 early in the third quarter. The Tigers converted their only third down of the half during the drive, using Josh Robinson five times on the possession – including the third down and the scoring play. Robinson ran around the left side, then cut back and found a seam for a 9-yard touchdown with 8:26 left in the third quarter. The Invaders scored on their first possession, marching 61 yards on seven plays to open the game. Quarterback Jordan McCloe connected with tight end Lou Dibileo for a 35-yard gain on a deep seam route. Big plays continued as Garcia had an 11-yard run, followed by Brownlee’s 15-yard carry ahead of his 4-yard scoring run. West Scranton made it 14-0 on a 65-yard drive midway through the second quarter.

Misericordia is ready to take another shot

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

In its second game in school history, Misericordia will try to improve on its opening-week loss. Improving on last week’s showing shouldn’t be too hard as the Cougars are playing their first MAC game against Lebanon Valley. Even though the Flying Dutchmen (1-0) defeated Montclair State, they didn’t have as many yards being held to just 288 total

Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon take front row in qualifying for Richimond race. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

RICHMOND, Va. — It’s a Hendrick Motorsports front row at Richmond International Raceway. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the pole for tonight’s “regular-season” finale, turning a lap of 127.023 mph in his Chevrolet to bump teammate Jeff Gordon from the top starting spot. “I was as surprised as anybody,” said Earnhardt, who won the11th pole of his career. “It feels good. I’ve not really been the best of qualifiers the last couple of years. We have a lot of improvements we’ve made this year. It feels good to get a pole.” It’s the first pole for NASCAR’s most popular driver since the 2011 Daytona 500. It came at the expense of Gordon, who is trying to race his way into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Gordon wound up second, and was pleased with the effort. “Mission accomplished,” he said. Gordon needs a strong race tonight and a little bit of help to earn one of the two wild-card berths in the 12-driver Chase field. Although eight drivers go into the race mathematically eligible for the final two spots in the Chase field, the talk has focused on a battle between Gordon and Kyle Busch for the last slot. Busch, a four-time Richmond winner who picked up his only victory this season here in May, qualified 15th. But Gordon knew that’s not far enough in the pack to not worry about Busch. “In my opinion, it’s really Kyle’s to lose,” Gordon said. “For us, it’s really nothing to lose, everything to gain.” Earnhardt is already locked into the Chase and is racing only for bonus points tonight. The Chase field will be re-seeded after the race, with everyone but the two wild-card drivers starting their title hunt with three bonus points per victory. Earnhardt has one win this season. “I think everybody wants to get the win to kick the Chase off, and go into the Chase with a lot of confidence,” Earnhardt said. The top seed will be Denny Hamlin, who has a series-best four wins this season and goes into his home track coming off consecutive victories the last two weeks. He qualified 11th and has said all week his focus tonight will be in helping Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Busch make the Chase. But Hamlin could be joined by another driver in a tie for the top seed: five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski and defending champion Tony Stewart are all tied with three wins this season. If one of them wins at Richmond, they’ll tie Hamlin with 12 bonus points to open the Chase.

Singh moves past McIlroy, Woods The Associated Press

CARMEL, Ind. — Vijay Singh keeps giving himself chances to end four years without a PGA Tour victory. He made four birdies around the turn Friday for a 6-under 66 in the BMW Championship, putting his name atop the leaderboard for the second time in his last four tournaments. It won’t get any easier the rest of the way. Tiger Woods was one shot behind. So was Rory McIlroy. Going into a storm-filled weekend at Crooked Stick, four players who have reached No. 1 in the world were among the top six. “I’ve got to keep it going,” Singh said. “I’ve been playing well for two days for a while now, but I need four days of good playing. Sooner or later, I think four days is going to happen. And hopefully, it starts this week.” Woods started slowly and finished strong, with birdies on his last two holes for a 67. McIlroy, coming off what he called one of the best ball-striking rounds of his life, had to overcome four bogeys for a hardearned 68. Joining them one shot out of the lead was Ryan Moore, who had a 66 and seems to play well in the BMW Championship no matter which state it is held. Lee Westwood (65) and Indiana native Bo Van Pelt (69) were two shots off the lead. Singh was at 13-under 131 on Crooked Stick, a Pete Dye course that is vulnerable to low scoring because of rain over the last several days. The second round was played early Friday to beat approaching thunderstorms, and the times were pushed back slightly Saturday to recover from whatever rain falls overnight. These are supposed to be the FedEx Cup playoffs. The scores make it look like the old Bob Hope Classic, especially after a

When: 1 p.m. today at Arnold Field, Annville Last Meeting: As all opponents are for the Cougars, this is the first between the teams. Last week: Misericordia lost 70-0 to Gettysburg in the school’s first game in school history. The Flying Dutchmen defeated Montclair State 31-21. What to know: This is the MAC opener for both teams. About the Cougars: They didn’t commit any turnovers last week and did cause a fumble and recovery in a loss to Gettysburg. They only had five penalties called against them for a total of 42 yards, while Gettysburg committed 11 for 100 yards. About the Flying Dutchmen: They received a mention in the d3football.com rankings this week. Notes: Lebanon Valley is opening its refurbished field after the stadium moved to FieldTurf Resolution in the offseason. The surface is the same that the Seattle Seahawks use at CenturyLink Field. Misericordia will win if it can expose Lebanon Valley’s secondary like Montclair State did last week. Lebanon Valley will win if it can continue to run the ball effectively like last week when Pete Panichi ran for 137 yards on 26 carries. Up Next: The Cougars have their first home game in school history against 25th-ranked Widener. LebVal travels to Williamsport for a showdown with Lycoming.

week in which McIlroy won on the TPC Boston at 20-under 264. “You come to a Pete Dye golf course, and you don’t expect to see 13-under par leading after two days,” Woods said. He was happy just to be in the mix. For the second straight day, Woods wasn’t particularly sharp in any area of his game except for posting a score. “I didn’t have it with my swing,” Woods said. “Just kind of fighting it around here. You look up at the scores, the guys are just running off. I just wanted to get to double digits (under par) today. I felt like that would have been a good accomplishment the way I was hitting the golf ball, and happy to get a couple of more.” KINGSMILL CHAMPIONSHIP

PHILADELPHIA — Looking for a fast start, the Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t pick a better opponent for the season opener. The Cleveland Browns have 15 rookies on the roster, including starting quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trent Richardson. They’re coming off a 4-12 season, and they’re just 1-12 in Week 1 since returning to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999. All that factors into why the Eagles are a 9-point favorite on the road Sunday. But they have to make sure to avoid a letdown, especially early when emotions are high. “The initial excitement of getting out there, starting a new season, fired up and ready to start off on a great note,” linebacker DeMeco Ryans said Friday. “You’re going to get a little overly excited because it’s the first game. It happens. But I think after a quarter or so, guys kind of settle in, settle down and settle into it. Of course, that first one, that first quarter, everybody’s going to be overhyped and over-amped. “Everybody’s going to be all into it.” That’s when those rookies can be particularly dangerous, espe-

cially because the Eagles aren’t as familiar with them. They faced Weeden in the preseason, but neither team showed much. Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick, sat out the entire preseason because of a knee injury. So, the coaching staff had to look at college tapes to get a read on both players. Weeden, a 28-year-old former minor league pitcher, impressed Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and coach Andy Reid. “He was one of the just pure passers coming out,” Mornhinweg said. “I thought he just throws the ball effortlessly. He’s got a big arm. He’s just a natural passer and I can understand why Cleveland took him. I believe it was a little bit higher than other people had him, but I understand that totally. He’s just a pure passer. Absolutely. Won a lot of ballgames there at Oklahoma State. Fantastic player coming out, no question.” Reid called Weeden “a very talented player,” and said the Eagles got a taste of what he can do in the preseason.

yards and Montclair quarterback Drew Cathey shredded the LebVal defense for 348 yards and three touchdowns. That’s something that may work out well for Misericordia because quarterback Jeff Puckett was a shining aspect of the Week 1 game. The freshman went 13-of-21 for 113 yards. He also didn’t commit any turnovers. In fact, the entire team held onto the ball. Here’s a closer look at this afternoon’s game.

1,549 total yards of offense. Before being upset by the Bobcats last week, Penn State closed out the 2011 season with losses to Wisconsin (45-7) and Houston (30-14) in the TicketCity Bowl. For a program fueled by strong defense in recent years, those are some hard numbers to accept. “It’s upsetting,” senior defensive tackle Jordan Hill said. “As a defense, you never want to see that happening -- teams putting up numbers like that on you. … We have to stop it. We just have to make a better effort and not let that happen.” “Yeah, it’s definitely something I’ve taken pretty personally,” senior linebacker Michael Mauti said. “The whole defense has as well.” Mauti was on the sideline for those final two games of 2011, recovering from major knee surgery. But he and the Lions defense surrendered 300 yards and three touchdowns in the second half of last week’s loss. Most alarming, Ohio converted all but one third down in that second half, going 11-for-12. “The defense on third down has got to be more aware of the sticks,” coach Bill O’Brien said, adding that the team spent some extra time on simulating situations like third-and-7, thirdand-8 this week in practice. Last week was Penn State’s first game under new defensive coordinator Ted Roof. But players said this week that the fundamentals of Roof’s system aren’t terribly different from what they were used to with Tom Bradley. A few more blitzes than average, perhaps. Some different personnel looks. Nothing too dramatic. At least, not yet. “It’s not a major adjustment,” Mauti said. “It’s more just the terminology. Something we call an apple, he calls an orange. But nothing major as far as changes.” Mauti, Hill and the rest of the front seven -- Penn State’s biggest strength coming into the season -- could only do so much against Ohio’s efficient spread offense, which relied on threestep drops and quick passes to prevent the Lions from getting too aggressive. While Virginia has more talent across the board than Ohio, the Cavaliers run a much different offense. Cavaliers offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, a Scranton native, brings a pro-style scheme from seven years of working a sideline in the NFL.

Victoria Azarenka reacts after winning her match against Maria Sharapova Friday

NEW YORK — Normally so good, so gritty, in the crucible of the third set, Maria Sharapova finally met her match against Victoria Azarenka. Coming all the way back from a set and a break down, the top-seeded Azarenka prevailed in a stirring third, beating four-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Friday to reach her first U.S. Open final. “This one didn’t go my way,” Sharapova said. “Frustrating, but it’s the game of tennis. A lot of swings in the match today. Certainly had the lead and the advantage.”

Entering Friday, Sharapova was 12-0 in three-setters this year, and had won 78 consecutive matches in which she took the opening set, a streak dating to 2010. But Azarenka broke in the last game to push her own 2012 record to 12-0 in matches that went the distance. “I didn’t know that statistic,” Azarenka said during an oncourt interview. “It’s pretty good.” Perfect, actually. Today, Australian Open champion Azarenka will play in her second major final of the season — and career — against 14-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams. Seeking a

fourth title at Flushing Meadows, the fourth-seeded Williams wasted little time or energy while overwhelming 10th-seeded Sara Errani of Italy 6-1, 6-2. Williams, trying to become the first 30-year-old woman to win the U.S. Open since Martina Navratilova in 1987, compiled a 38-6 edge in winners in her 64-minute semifinal against Errani. Since a surprising exit at the French Open in late May, her only first-round loss in 49 appearances at major tournaments, Williams is 25-1, including a title at Wimbledon and gold medal at the London Olympics.

co Sr. -- is at the helm of a balanced offense that will rotate three versatile running backs. Virginia racked up 43 points in an opening victory over FCS Richmond. They rebounded from a three-year bowl drought last season as Mike London was named ACC Coach of the Year. While the Cavaliers aren’t yet a BCS contender -- or even ranked in the top 25 -- they are favored to send the O’Brien era off to an 0-2 start. To prevent that, the Lions must first put those past three performances behind them. “If anything, guys are really angry because that’s not really presenting a good image of what our team is,” Mauti said. “Last week wasn’t our best side that we showed. “We just want to play. If we could play this game (in the middle of the week), we’d line up and play. That’s how we feel.”

Pinch-hitter Laynce Nix hit a tying, two-run double in the seventh, and the Phillies won for the 10th time in 14 games. Jimmy Rollins walked off Will Harris (1-1) to start the bottom of the ninth. Rollins advanced to second on Juan Pierre’s sacrifice. After Chase Utley was intentionally walked, both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Schierholtz then hit a sharp grounder to right field past a drawn-in infield. The five-time defending NL East champion Phillies are within four games of .500 for the first time since they were 36-40 on June 26. Braves 3, Mets 0

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L Sept. 8 1905 — The Pittsburgh Pirates stranded 18 runners in an 8-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds to set a National League record for men left on base. 1955 — The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Braves 10-2 to clinch the National League pennant with a 17-game lead. 1958 — Roberto Clemente tied a major league record by hitting three triples in a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. 1965 — Bert Campaneris of the Kansas City A’s played all nine positions but had to leave after a ninth-inning collision with Ed Kirkpatrick of the Angels. The Angels won 5-3 in 13 innings. 1972 — Ferguson Jenkins of the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-3, for his 20th victory of the season. It marked the sixth straight year Jenkins had won 20 or more games. 1985 — Cincinnati’s Pete Rose inserted himself into the lineup when the Chicago Cubs named righthander Reggie Patterson as the starting pitcher.

Clemens tosses 4 2⁄3 scoreless for Skeeters The Associated Press

SUGAR LAND, Texas — Roger Clemens was back on the mound again Friday night and the 50year-old didn’t disappoint. Clemens pitched 4 2-3 scoreless innings for Sugar Land of the independent Atlantic League with his oldest son Koby catching him against Long Island. Pitching in front of a sellout crowd that included country music star and Clemens buddy Toby Keith and Houston rapper Paul Wall, Clemens looked better than he did last month when he tossed 3 1-3 scoreless innings for the Skeeters. He allowed two hits and struck out one. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner pitched a perfect first inning before getting his only strikeout when he caught Brandon Sing looking to start the second. The first hit was a two-out single by Matt Esquivel in the second. He retired the side in the third and allowed one hit — a single — in the fourth. His last out of the fourth inning was a flyout on a ball hit by former Met Timo Perez. He had faced Clemens before, going 0 for 4 against him the second game of the 2000 World Series. He retired the first two hitters in the fifth before hugging his son and heading to the dugout to a standing ovation. For the first time, Clemens is set to appear on the Hall of Fame ballot going out to voters later this year. If he plays in a major league game this season, his timetable would be pushed back five years. The Rocket’s fastball was clocked at as high as 88 mph, and he also threw curves and splitters. He threw 54 pitches, and looked spry fielding a dribbler and throwing a batter out at first in the fourth inning.

Canada jobless at 7.3%

The Canadian economy added 34,300 new jobs in August, topping expectations of only modest gains and reversing the previous month’s setback, Statistics Canada reported Friday. The government agency said all the gains were part-time jobs, which added 46,700 employees, while there were 12,500 fewer full-time workers. As well, there were heavy losses in the goods producing sector, which generally pays higher wages. Analysts had expected the economy to add only about 10,000 jobs in August, reflecting the slow pace of growth and risk-filled nature of the global outlook. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.3 percent as the labor force grew in step with the employment gains.

AA decision by year end

AMR Corp.’s bankruptcy creditors expect the parent company of American Airlines to decide by year-end whether to merge with another airline or remain an independent company. The committee representing AMR’s unsecured creditors made the comment Friday. AMR management has favored remaining independent, but US Airways has pushed for a merger, and AMR agreed to work with creditors to consider merger options.

Pa. rig count down 2

Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. reported Friday that the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. fell by 30 this week to 1,864. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, New Mexico gained two and Arkansas one. Texas accounted for the bulk of the decline, down 20 rigs. Pennsylvania dropped by two.

The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July.

Slow growth in job market By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers added 96,000 jobs in August, a tepid figure that points to the economy’s persistent weakness and slowing prospects for the unemployed. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July. But that was only because more people gave up looking for jobs. People out of work are counted as unemployed only if they’re looking for a job. The sluggish job growth could make the Federal Reserve more likely to unveil a new bond-buying program at its meeting next week. The goal would be to lower long-term interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending. Hourly pay fell in Au-

gust, manufacturers cut the most jobs in two years and the number of people in the work force dropped to its lowest level in 31 years. The government also said 41,000 fewer jobs were created in July and June than first estimated. Most economists say they expect the Fed to announce action to try to stimulate the economy. And many now think the Fed will make the boldest move it can — a third round of bond buying to try to lower long-term interest rates. The unemployment rate declined in August, but for a bad reason: The government doesn’t count people as unemployed if they’ve stopped looking for a job. The number of people working or looking for work shrank in August by 368,000, the government

centage point last month to 54.1 percent. That’s the lowest “participation rate” for that group in 57 years. Many are likely staying in school or returning to school, hoping for a turnaround in the job market later. By contrast, the participation rate for workers 55 and older rose from 40.2 percent to 40.4 percent. The rate for those 25 to 54 was unchanged at Numerous industries added jobs last month. But they didn’t add many. And the jobs they filled weren’t necessarily well-paying. For example, one of the biggest gains was in the generally low-paying restaurant industry, which added 28,300 jobs. Another, retailing, added 6,100. Manufacturing jobs, which tend to pay above-average wages, fell 15,000.

NEW YORK — After Kraft Foods Inc. splits into two companies on Oct. 1, the offices in Hanover Industrial Estates will be part of Mondelez International Inc., the global snack business that includes Oreo, Cadbury and Nabisco. Kraft Foods, its new North American food company, will lease space in the facility. “Both companies will work in the facility for the foreseeable future,” said Joyce Hodel, a Kraft spokeswoman. About 670 people worked in the office as of January following the elimination of 60 jobs the company attributed to restructuring to prepare for the company split. Employees do information technology, customer service, online sales support and financial accounting work. Northfield, Ill.-based Kraft told investors at a conference in Boston Friday that it expects the North American grocery company to post a 2013 profit of about $2.60 per share. The prediction includes 26 cents per share in restructuring costs. Kraft decided to spin off its global snack business in March. That company will trade under the ticker “MDLZ.” The North American grocery business will continue to carry the name Kraft and include Velveeta, Miracle Whip and Oscar Mayer. Its ticker will change from “KFT” to “KRFT.” Kraft also said Friday it expects the North American grocery company’s earnings per share to grow in the mid- to highsingle digit percentage range long term. Its management team also plans to recommend an annual dividend of $2. Kraft’s Mondelez held an analyst day on Thursday. It expects long-term revenue growth of 5 percent to 7 percent and earnings growth in the double digits. Kraft shares fell $2.32, or 5.5 percent, to $39.99. The stock had been up 13 percent since the beginning of the year.

A strong cold front will move across the commonwealth today and produce rain, which may be heavy at times, along with the chance for some severe thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are capable of producing damaging winds, cloud to ground lightning and hail. If you have outdoor plans today, keep an eye on the sky. The cold front will move east throughout the afternoon and evening with a high of 82. Cooler air will spread over the state tonight and tomorrow, bringing the showers to an end and providing us with a beautiful stretch of weather for next week. - Kurt Aaron

HISTORY

Area residents strut their best vintage stuff By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

mbiebel@timesleader.com

e asked, and you answered ... • June Quinnan of West Pittston told us about her mother’s 1940s Dutch oven, which Quinnan still uses for roasts, tomato sauce and “anything you don’t want to burn.” • Mary Pugh of Hanover Township explained she brings out her grandmother’s100-year-old dishes every Thanksgiving, with a warning to her family: “Break one and you might as well leave town.”

While Margaret Pastula of Wilkes-Barre can’t interpret the Welsh words in her old family Bible, she said paging through the holy book makes her feel closer to her ancestors, who, she believes, brought it all the way from Wales. These women are just a few examples of local folks who treasure vintage hand-me-downs. We learned about them last month, when The Times Leader published a story about a 1977 Mercedes-Benz truck still making deliveries for Baut Studios Inc. of

Swoyersville. Was anyone else, we wondered, making similar use of an heirloom? ••• First to respond to the question was Quinnan, who said her mother started using her hammeredaluminum Dutch oven in the 1940s, after receiving it from a neighborhood store as a reward for shopping there.

Add personal touch with color, stencil By AMY LORENTZEN For The Associated Press

With a decorative stencil and some paint, you can decorate not just walls but just about any surface of your home. Wall decals and stencils have become more popular, says Emily Bidwell, an in-house style expert at the crafts website Etsy.com, because they are “a no-fuss way to create a big impression.” “In under an hour you can create a mural effect without the mess of paint, and it’s an affordable alternative to wallpa-

per,” she says. “Plus, you have the added fun of having done it yourself.” Besides walls, there are stencils with intricate medallions for ceilings and other designs perfect for floors: Think of a curling vine pattern on an outdoor concrete porch. Stencils can be used on fabrics too, from decorative pillows to window treatments to shower curtains. If you use the right paints, you can even embellish glass and ceramics. Smaller stencils can be used for personalized gift

bags, tags and cards, as well as for scrapbooking and, of course, sign-making. Melanie Royals, president and creative director for Royal Design Studio, a stencil manufacturer in southern California, says one customer recently used a stencil and acrylic paint on a throw rug. Furniture stenciling also has become popular, she says; one of her ideas is to stencil the sides of dresser drawers for an artistic touch when they See STENCIL, Page 3C

alk about guilt. Shame even. But, to sugar-coat things a bit, let’s call it introspection. Here’s how it happened. Was up to my old tricks again, and regulars know what that means: changing out and trading up and basically just roaming around the house, somewhat forlorn but still hopeful, composing the most current Short List of Things That Can Stand To Be Improved Around Here. Turned into quite the Big List quickly enough, but that’s assuming we count all the big-money projects that are mere pipe dreams, put on the list for kicks and giggles. Really, these lists are more about the little things. Such as new screen doors for the back porch. Was there anything wrong with the old screen doors? Technically no, but anyone who’s ever walked around a home-improvement store knows the problem. If you can just run into one of these places for, say, lightbulbs and run out, good for you. I cannot. Not when these grown-up candy shops are just overflowing with temptations, especially right up front in that taunting, terrible area called “seasonal,” with its vortex powers. I swear I can hear a giant sucking sound as it pulls me in and won’t let me out until it outright empties my wallet. But I thought I had the system beat with a new plan of action for small errands. Walk in main door. Walk straight ahead. Do not avert eyes. Do not look left or right until having passed “go” (seasonal) and spotted the aisle signs for the boring stuff absolutely necessary. Enter such aisles from back; proceed to front. Pay. Get out. While the getting out’s good. One problem: Some pretty cool stuff hides in the back of the store, too. Such as screen doors. All kinds of pretty ones. The farmhouse style spoke to me, and nevermind that I do not live on a farm. That’s beside the point. These were swell – and fairly inexpensive. A friend could surely install. Done deal. Big box wins again, parting the fool from her money anew. So … the doors are on now, 99 percent complete, and I couldn’t be happier, but I do have a confession to make. Man, am I second-guessing. When deciding how to dispose of one old screen door, see, I pondered how many garbage stickers it might take to have my hauler just carry it off. That’s when my helper suggested just offering it up, standing it up on the tree lawn with a sign reading “free” and seeing what happened. The old door did not last the night. And neither did a garbage disposal with a broken motor that I placed next it, like a little bonus gift for any American Picker who might happen along. I was sure the two items would hold no appeal to anyone. How wrong I was. Initially, this felt great. Is there an easier way to cast something off? (Think not.) So I hauled out an old, ear-splitting vacuum cleaner and placed that on the lawn, too, just a few days later. To see. You guessed it. Gone. Just like that. What in the world … ? Well, now, I was really questioning myself. Was I actually helping myself here? Or just throwing money into the wind? I mean … did this stuff have actual value? I began to imagine someone taking a $2 fix to a $100 product and selling it for $75, sharing none of the profits. A non-peaceful, uneasy feeling. So here’s what I concluded instead. There is a separate Santa Claus solely for big people. He’d merely sent his elves, under cover of night, to carry my stuff to the North Pole, where they would fix it all up and return it to someone in need. Kickbacks to me unexpected and unnecessary. Call it home improvement as community service, the least I can do. Now isn’t rationalization grand?

Paint’s the best fix for crack in concrete patio A READER SAID there was a 20-foot crack running across her 15-year-old concrete patio that had been repaired with caulking. She asked if she should have the patio repoured. Another reader, who has been in residential construction and building supplies for 45 years, wrote that any 200square-foot patio that has lasted 15 years with only one crack means the patio was built right in the first place, but with one exception. “The crack tells me the original builder did not put in the correct expansion joints. Thus, the crack is the concrete’s need to make its own expansion joint. “Rather than dig up a concrete pad that is still very serviceable, consider painting the concrete with a high-quality concrete paint. That will cover the caulk line and make it all blend together. “If the caulk line has failed, clean out the caulk and replace it with a high-quality silicone or other sealant made specifically for concrete. “You can make it blend in with a coat of paint that will also extend the life of the concrete pad.

YOUR PLACE

ALAN J. HEAVENS With minor maintenance, this concrete should be good for another 15 years.” ••• Q: I wallpapered one bathroom 20 years ago when our house was first built. I put wallpaper directly over unfinished wallboard. This was “removable” wallpaper, though my experience with that in other places is that it isn’t very removable. This bathroom does not have a shower, and there has been little steam in the room. I would like to get rid of the wallpaper, but I’m concerned about what kind of mess I’m going to find. A: Probably a lot of mess. ••• I received a few comments in response to a reader’s concern about paying a remodeling contractor in cash. “You had brought up some nefarious reasons for

www.timesleader.com

your agreement with the issuing company.” The contractor in the original letter wanted cash, not a check. I personally would never use a credit card to pay for renovations. Maybe I would to purchase some materials that the contractor would install, but that’s it. ••• Q: My family room is ground level, behind a garage. The heating vents run under the concrete pad. Depending on the amount of water and the direction of heavy rainstorms, we get water in these pipes. I have considered cutting a hole in the garage floor and installing a sump pump, but I am not sure this will solve the problem. If it will, where do I place the pump? The downspouts are in good shape and direct the water away. The pad is ground level and about 4 inches. Is blocking these vents an option? A: I have never faced such a situation. One would think that the contractor wouldn’t have run the vents under the concrete pad, but you never know. Have any of you had a similar problem? Feel free to comment and offer solutions.

this, but it may be something far simpler,” wrote one reader. “I had a similar situation this past spring with a plumbing contractor who was doing an upgrade of my master bath. “Like the contractor in your column, he came highly recommended. He told me he didn’t accept credit cards because of the extra bookkeeping involved and the credit-card company fee. I was initially taken aback by his cash/check-only business, but then I found the perfect workaround (for me). “One of the credit-card companies I use issues checks which can be used as cash or as a regular check. “So I wrote the check to myself for the total amount of the work, deposited it into my bank account, then wrote the down payment and final checks to him from my checking account. “I could just as easily issued one of the checks directly to him, but some have an expiration date, and if he didn’t cash it within the time limit, it would have caused a problem. “The beauty of this is twofold. One, you can pay in ‘cash’ and still use credit. And, if you pay the contractor with one of the checks and there is a problem, you would be protected by the terms of

HOMES Q&A Question: What would you advise a person to do to keep chipmunks from eating tomatoes? This is the first year that this has happened, and I can only attribute it to the dry weather, as the chipmunks are seeking moisture. Answer: I know of several people who’ve had success with Shot-Gun Repels-All, an animal repellent that’s supposed to be safe to use on food if you stop spraying a few days before harvest. However, the folks at Copley Feed & Supply have told me in the past that they recommend applying it to the soil around the plants or the edge of the bed but not directly to the plants. If the problem persists, you may need to fence your garden. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says a chipmunk fence needs to be 30 inches high and buried 6 to 12 inches deep in the ground, with a foot-wide, “L”-shaped underground shelf to keep the chipmunks from burrowing underneath. -- McClatchy-Tribune Newspapers

“They made things better in the old days,” Quinnan believes. ••• Then we heard from Jenny Vitale of Wilkes-Barre, who promised to invite all the ladies from the women’s club at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church to bring older items to their next meeting. Vitale herself brought an original wedding photograph of her grandparents, Helen Grimes and Fred Kratz, who married in 1895 when they were both16. “My cousins would have liked it too, but I was the one who always did my grandmother’s hair,” Vitale said. “I think that’s why she gave it to me.” ••• Pastula brought her family Bible to the meeting, noting her own 1929 birth has been written in it. The first entry is dated 1909, and she believes that’s a clue to the age of the Bible, which once belonged to her grandparents John Bebb and Margaret Owens. ••• Church administrator Helen Youells of Plymouth brought an embroidered blouse worn by her husband’s grandmother, Matrona “Martha” Oshirak, when she arrived at Ellis Island in 1912.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

Margaret Pastula can’t read the Welsh words in her grandparents’ old Bible, but she can see the earliest family date written into it is 1909.

“Everything she had was in a suitcase, and it was stolen. The story goes, she saw her suitcase floating in the water, so she literally came with only the clothes on her back. And this is what she was wearing,” Youells said. The family keeps the blouse, decorated by hand with Ukrainestyle embroidery, in a frame. Youells also showed the group Oshirak’s early Fenton carnival glass dishes. “She loved pretty things.” ••• Joan Healey, 84, of Forty Fort brought a plate adorned with a

scene from the coast of Whitley Bay in England, where she was born. She remembers strolling along the concrete promenade with her mother and enjoying the ocean breezes when she was 5 to 7 years old. “My mother and I could walk there, from where my grandmother lived,” she said. When her parents moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania, Healey said, it was hard for her mother to adjust to living so far from the ocean. ••• Jean Bohac, 74, of Plains Township, vividly remembers working

Plus, she says, “There is just a really short learning curve for using stencils, and you get the instant gratification right away.” Basically, you paint, pull the stencil off the wall and see the design. Ambitious do-it-yourselfers can create their own stencils using a cutting mat or stencil film, and cutting tools such as exacto knives, says Tara Custer of Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, one of the nation’s largest retailers of the specialty products. Draw your own design or find free ones online, then transfer them to cardstock or other durable paper. Or try see-through plastic such as stencil film that can be taped to your design; then you can start cutting in whatever shape you’ve chosen. Greg Swisher, co-founder of the New Jersey-based Cutting Edge Stencils, says cleaner

colors and eye-catching patterns on walls are in fashion. “Families are on a budget. They want to decorate their homes but they can’t afford designer wallpaper,” he says. “There is so much value in a stencil — you can custom color to match the decor, and work with the architecture in the room to accent a wall or around an entryway.”

Anonymous love note to her classmate backfires on tearful teenager Dear Abby: I really need some advice or I’m going to cry my eyes out. I’m a 14-year-old girl and I really like this guy at school. I’m shy, so instead of telling him, I drew a picture of him, wrote on the back that I like him and taped it to his locker. I didn’t sign it. He thought it was weird and doesn’t know it’s me. He already has a girlfriend and she hates what I did. She thinks whoever did it is a stalker. I feel stupid. I don’t know what to do now. I wasn’t trying to be creepy. I just wanted him to know how much I love him. Should I tell him it was me? I’m so confused. Please help. — Hopeless And Loveless

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear H. And L.: Take advantage of this learning experience. If you are smart, you will not reveal that it was you who put the picture on the locker. The boy is already involved with someone. If and when they break up — as so many teen romances do — you can decide whether to express your feelings. But if you do, please do it in person and not anonymously. Dear Abby: Is it possible to earn someone’s trust back, and if so, how would I do it? — Wondering in Ohio

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Wondering: Much depends upon what you did that destroyed the person’s trust. If it wasn’t too egregious, a sincere apology is the way to begin. And if it is accepted, walking the straight and narrow in the future would be helpful. Dear Abby: I got married four months ago and we have no wedding rings. However, we do have our names tattooed on each other’s ring finger. His is not legible. Even though he got it touched up once, it still looks like a big blur. My tattoo is very clear and noticeable. All my friends think we need to wear wedding bands or something. Did we do the wrong thing? — Newlywed in Tacoma, Wash.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Newlywed: When it comes to wedding bands — and what they symbolize — there is no “wrong” thing. You and your husband got the tattoos because you wanted something that would last forever, like your union. The most important thing isn’t what your friends think; it’s how the two of you FEEL. If you want to wear wedding bands, then buy a couple. But don’t do it because someone else thinks you should. Dear Abby: I work 40-plus hours a week and have a 3-year-old and two dogs. My good friend “Kate” has a 6-year-old, 2-year-old twins and a dog. Her house is dirty. The bathroom is dusty and stained, and in the kitchen, dishes are piled in the sink. Would it be rude to offer her a few hours to

clean up some key rooms? If not, how would I go about offering without being too blunt? — Have Mop, Will Travel Dear Have: Say, “Kate, you have your hands full, so why don’t I come over one morning this weekend and help with the housework? Then we’ll grab some lunch. It’d be fun. What do you say?” P.S. If you find yourself in the Los Angeles area, give me a call. And don’t forget that mop! 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). Repeating what a friend says may seem harmless, but that’s not what time will prove. It’s tantamount to someone reading aloud from your journal in public. Uncomfortable thought? Mum’s the word. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The more you talk about your personal reasons for wanting to accomplish something, the more support you’ll get. People feel your heart, and it opens up something inside their own. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though you are mostly satisfied with the way things are going, there are still a few behaviors and characteristics you would like to change in yourself. You’ll be inspired to take the first step. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your inklings turn out to be true, though your suspicions will prove unfounded. Knowing the difference between the two is crucial. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will hear of the marvels of distant lands, and today brings the beginning of radiant dreams. Someday you will know such places. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People don’t appreciate learning about the details that you give up without an ounce of resistance. They want to work for the information, so make a game of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a reason you’re drawn to the stranger with head tattoos or the girl whose dog is wearing a tiara. You’ve met enough serious people to last a lifetime, and you’re ready for interesting interactions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may have a natural stress reaction to a situation that is indeed stressful by nature. But you’ll push through it — and be better because of it, too. The extra energy will quicken your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Avoid magnifying the meaning of an interaction in a negative or positive way. Both distortions can hurt. Keep it as close to reality as you can by maintaining a distant perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Since any number of good things are likely to happen to you today, it is futile to focus too intently on achieving one specific outcome. Let go and trust that the universe is on your side. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a way of stirring up curiosity and capturing the imagination of those around you. Be a responsible driver and transport those imaginations somewhere beautiful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pacing will be key to making yourself a fixture in a certain situation. If you move too fast, you’ll break the spell. If you move too slowly, the rest of the party will move on without you. Match the pace around you, and you’re golden. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 8). You’ll connect with people, and because of you, they will feel acknowledged and loved. This gift you have will lead to a new job in the next 10 weeks. October sparks adventure. You’ll close a deal in December. The new year focuses you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 21, 24, 18 and 40.

New look highlights 2013 Altima In terms of body style, the Altima is what it is: a four-door sedan. No coupes, no hatches, no ragtops. But there are a number of trim choices. The base 2.5 has steel wheels, unfortunately, but does have fullpower on the accessories, keyless ignition and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Still, better to go with 2.5S which adds cruise control, automatic headlights and a better sound system. The SV gets you alloy wheels, a slightly bigger LCD screen with rear-view camera and even better sound system. The top-line SL adds xenon headlights, sunroof, leather seats and 9speaker Bose sound. The optional navigation package gets a 7-inch color screen but is only available on the 2.5 and 3.5 SV versions. Altima is in a tough class, what with the Camrys and Accords leading the way. But, with careful design changes outside and upgrades inside, the 2013 Altima is up to the challenge.

BARRY SPYKER WHEELS It seems like only yesterday that Nissan took the tired-looking Altima and converted it into a stylish, roomy and great-handling car. Alas, it was a decade ago already when that thirdgeneration Altima dazzled the automotive world and took Car of the Year honors at the North American International Auto Show. That was the third generation, followed by the fourth generation in 2007. So what did Nissan dare do to tamper with a highly successful formula for the fifth generation? Well, the changes were not dramatic at first glance, but definitely satisfying. For 2013 — new models arrive in showrooms this summer — Nissan has carefully resculpted the front and rear, refined the interior, added more seat comfort (with a little help from NASA), and made it more fun to drive. Altima has been carefully crafted outside to retain its sleek look, but now it has a more rounded, classier look; a sweet new contour across the front fenders, a smoother profile. The only mistake by designers, in my mind, is messing with the rear taillight cluster. It had been one of the sharpest, most distinct arrangements on the road today and now it blends in more with the trendy wraparound designs of some competitors. It’s comparable in size to the previous generation, with the same wheelbase but nearly an inch longer in overall length and just over an inch wider. That, by the way, translates to more shoulder room inside. The entire cabin, actually, is quite roomy. Headroom and legroom are more than ample. Seats are comfortable and supportive in all the right places — Nissan attributes its seat design to NASA’s zero-gravity seats on the space shuttle, designed for comfort on the long haul. Good to know in

case you’re headed to the space station or, perhaps, cross-country. A huge center console offers great storage, and long cargo fits nicely within the broad pass-through from the trunk. The trunk offers 15.4 cubic feet of space, which ranks about average for the segment. The Altima also is more refined and classier-looking inside. Materials now have a look and feel of an upscale car. But, undeniably, it’s Altima’s hightech gadgetry — some of which is found only on higher-priced cars — that will bring the raised eyebrows and nods of approval. Kick on the engine with a push-button start. Then, before you go, make that Bluetooth hands-free call. The phone system even allows streaming audio and text messaging. Starting to rain? Headlights will turn on when the windshield wipers swipe four times. Clever. A 4-inch LCD screen, situated between the speedometer and tach, is recessed and tilted backward for easy visibility. In it you can see a clear rearview monitor for safely getting out of

the driveway. In higher-line models, you get a 7-inch screen. Opt for the tech package and you also get lane departure and blind spot warnings, and a moving-object recognition system helps spot a wandering toddler. And get this: The rear camera has its own wash-and-dry system to keep the images clean and sharp. Another cool feature is Altima’s easyfill tire-pressure monitoring system: The car will chirp when tires have reached the correct pressure. On the road, the front-wheel-drive Altima provides a smooth, quiet ride. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun along the way. Altima’s familiar 2.5-liter engine returns but has been tweaked and brings along 7 more horses for the ride — now producing 182 horsepower. This popular powerplant provides enough oomph for most folks from the stoplight, up the ramp or when they kick it into passing gear. A 3.5-liter V-6, though, is available and ups the throttle response. It gets 270 hp and gets up to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, according to Edmunds.

Regulating the speed is Nissan’s CVT called Xtronic. If you’ve read me before, you’ll know I am not a big fan of the CVT and its whining sound as it runs up to speed. But Altima’s new CVT is smooth and quiet and, frankly, I had to remind myself that the Altima had a CVT. And Nissan has said its redesigned CVT has translated to a 15-percent boost in mileage: 27 mpg city, 38 on the highway. Those are incredible figures, perhaps as good as it gets in the segment. The V-6 gets 22 city, 31 highway. Steering is wonderfully crisp, aided by Nissan’s "electromechanical" assist, a deviation from all-electricassisted steering. On corners or the highway, Altima offers confident handling. A retuned rear suspension gets some of the credit for that. With the high-tech safety gadgetry, every Altima for 2013 also gets ABS and stability control standard, plus front-seat side bags and side curtain air bags.
