PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania’s state Supreme Court justices on Thursday aggressively questioned whether a politically charged law requiring photo identification from all voters should take effect for the Nov. 6 presidential election and whether it guarantees the right to vote. With the election just 54 days away, the justices did not say when they will decide, although lawyers in the case expected them to rule before the end of September. The high court appeal follows a lower court’s refusal last month to halt the law from taking effect. The 6-month-old law — championed by Republicans over the objections of Democrats — is now part of the heated election-year political rhetoric inastatewhose20electoralvotesmakeita major player in electing a president. The rules — now among the nation’s toughest — were already a lightning rod for supporters of President Barack Obama, a Democrat, when a top state Republican lawmaker said in June that the ID requirement “is going to allow” the GOP’s

A significant criminal record processing backlog has developed in the Luzerne County’s clerk of courts office, officials say. Timely filing and posting of records is essential because judges rely on the information to issue rulings and schedule proceedings, said county acting Court Administrator Michael Shucosky. “It’s crucial to have up-to-date records,” Shucosky said, noting the backlog also applies to juvenile dependency and delinquency records. The ramifications of office backlogs came to light in May, when a Wilkes- INSIDE: ProthoBarre man was notary Carolee wrongly lodged Medico Olein prison be- nginski, above, said her deputy, cause the clerk Art Bobbouine, of courts office has taken control didn’t file pa- of her office perwork show- without her ing a judge lift- permission. ed an outstand- Page 12A. ing warrant against him. The man lost his six-year construction job because he missed work and his boss was displeased with the prison explanation. The office blamed the problem on the filing backlog. In an Aug. 22 memo to county Manager Robert Lawton, the backlog was described as “critical,” with new cases backed up about a month and juvenile cases several months behind. The memo was written by Interim Clerk of Courts Tom Pizano and Art Bobbouine, a deputy in the civil records prothonotary’s office. The civil and criminal records offices are supposed

Inmate sees more burglary charges Brad A. Lopuhovsky of Kingston is arraigned from Luzerne County prison.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – His tools of the trade were cinder blocks and a screwdriver. Township police allege Brad Albert Lopuhovsky, 35, of Center Street, Kingston, burglarized two houses in one day, stealing handguns, jewelry and money. Lopuhovsky allegedly placed

cinderblocks against a house on Johnson Street to reach a kitchen window he forced open and used a screwdriver to Lopuhovsky pry open a locked rear door to a house on Lehigh Street on June 25. District Judge Michael Dotzel arraigned Lopuhovsky on Thursday via video conference from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on separate counts of burglary, criminal trespass and theft.

Bail was set at $125,000. Lopuhovsky has been jailed for lack of $70,000 bail since his arrest by Edwardsville and Kingston police on unrelated burglaries earlier this year. According to the latest criminal complaints: Lopuhovsky said he picked the house on Lehigh Street to burglarize after visiting a relative. He admitted he used a screwdriver to pry open a rear door and took jewelry and a jar filled with coins. On the same day, police allege Lopuhovsky placed cinder blocks

Race in shooting still open question People paint two different pictures of William Allabaugh, charged in fatality.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

Was the shooting at a Plymouth bar early Sunday that left one man dead and another man critically injured racially motivated? State police Lt. Richard Krawetz said it is too early to say. A single patron at Bonnie’s Bar told investigators she complained to the bartender that William Allabaugh, the alleged gunman, was making racial slurs sometime between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Saturday, according to arrest records. Allabaugh, 25, was sitting at a table with his brother, Jared Allabaugh, 26, and Kevin Ferrance, 26, when the patron allegedly heard racial slurs. The bartender told Allabaugh to stop or he would be ejected from the establishment. “It was reported some comments were made hours prior to the shooting. Right now there is nothing to indicate the shooting was racial but the investigation is ongoing,” said Krawetz, commander of the criminal investigation unit for Troop P based in Wyoming. Arrest papers say just before 2 a.m. Sunday Allabaugh pulled out a handgun and shot Stephen Hollman, 29, a black male, who was sitting at the bar. Allabaugh ran outside and allegedly shot Scott Luzetsky, 39, a white male who was leaving the bar. During the hours between when Allabaugh was allegedly told to stop making racist comments to the shooting, investigators said he was talking to two black women inside the bar.

Family members say Allabaugh was not prejudiced and had an African-American best friend when he lived in Florida in his early teen years. Mark Piazza, owner of Shawnee Guns and Ammo in Plymouth, said he has known Allabaugh for more than five years and has never heard him make a racial comment. Allabaugh was a frequent visitor to the gun store. “I never heard him say a racial slur,” Piazza said. A medical report from the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Plains Township states Allabaugh was treated for post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and stress in July 2010, about two months after he was released from the U.S. Air Force. Allabaugh was arraigned Wednesday in his hospital room at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center Plains Township on charges of criminal homicide and criminal attempt to commit homicide. He is recovering from two gunshot wounds suffered when another bar patron, Mark Ktytor, 35, shot him outside the bar, ending the shooting spree. Allabaugh and Ktytor each have permits to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said. During the investigation, authorities jailed Jared Allabaugh on an arrest warrant issued by a Luzerne County judge on June 6 after he failed to appear for a court proceeding on a drunken driving offense. Jared Allabaugh remains jailed for lack of $2,000 bail. He declined a request for an interview. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for William Allabaugh on Sept. 19 but will likely be continued as he recovers.

The device was a cardboard tube with nails and black powder designed to explode, the complaint says.

WILKES-BARRE – What council did at Thursday night’s meeting was not the issue for residents. What the elected officials and the city have not been doing, however, drew complaints. Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to allow downtown residents to park at meters during certain times without being ticketed. The fee would be $150 annually for a permit. Council approved the sale of surplus vehicles at an Oct. 6 auction to be held by L.A.G. Auctions of Dupont. The five-member panel also approved a $13,999 purchase of fire hose dryer from Susquehanna Fire Equipment of Dewart, a $350,632 contract with Popple Construction Inc. of Laflin for a street project and the installation of energy efficient windows for the city fire department headquarters at a cost of $17,750 by low bidder Northeast Window Inc. of Pittston. But for most of the hour-long meeting residents wanted answers about flags, crumbling walls, the placement of stop Garra stopped moaning and making the motions when Garra saw him and then started again when the witness was out of sight, police said. Two additional witnesses – a 19-year-old woman and a 13year-old girl – told police they were walking on Lacoe Street, going to the library, when they heard a male voice making “weird and creepy” moaning sounds, and they ran away from Garra’s home. Garra was arraigned before District Judge Joseph Carmody, released on $5,000 unsecured bail and ordered to comply with recommendations

signs at a dangerous intersection and the city’s contract with LAG Towing Inc., which is not affiliated with the auction company. Jim Walsh passed out small American flags and demanded answers why the city was not placing flags on the streets during patriotic holidays. Councilman George Brown supported Walsh’s efforts. “I don’t know where we’d get the money to do that,” Brown said. “You can set up a flag fund,” Walsh replied. Carl Lisowski of Oliver Street and John Kempka of Court Street have been dealing with the safety hazards of crumbling walls endangering their properties for years. Like Walsh they were told the city does not have the funds to repair the walls. “We are constantly looking for money to address that,” Attilio “Butch” Frati, director of operations for the city told Lisowski. Frati informed Kempka it would take $276,000 to fix the wall and widen the road near his house. The city had money from Liquid Fuels Tax to do the work but chose to repair walls along creeks where there was a greater danger to property, Frati said. Prepared with photographs, documents and a petition signed by 150 people Mark Zavoy made his case for having four stop signs at the intersection of Laufrom Luzerne County Pre-Trial Services, police said. NANTICOKE – City police reported the following: • Stephani Smith, of East Union Street, Nanticoke, was charged with theft of services and failure of disorderly persons to disperse after allegedly causing a scene at Larry’s Pizza on Aug. 29, police said. Police said Smith was told she would no longer be served alcohol because she was intoxicated and told to leave. While leaving, Smith was taking her food, which was not paid for, and a beer mug

rel and Kidder Streets. Laurel Street has two stop signs, but two are needed on Kidder Street due to the number of accidents that have damaged vehicles and property, he said. The city’s traffic commission has denied previous requests for the additional stop signs, he said. Zavoy drew support from Councilmen Bill Barrett, former city police chief and accident reconstructionist. Barrett said he’s been through the intersection and had difficulty pulling out from Laurel Street. “I think it’s a very reasonable request. I think it would make the intersection safer,” Barrett said. Before he was escorted from the fourth-floor council chambers by a police officer at the order of council President Mike Merritt, Mark Robbins played a portion of a song lampooning LAG Towing. Robbins, a critic of LAG, held a cellphone to the microphone at the speaker’s table in order for the audience to hear “Grandma got towed by LAG,” sung to the melody of the Christmas song “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” “This is satire like Saturday Night Live to get publicity,” Robbins said after the meeting. Leo A. Glodzik, owner of the towing company, said he legally obtained the title for the car Robbins referred to in the song. with her and then argued with the bartender and threw the mug at her, smashing it, police said.

Criminal probe opened

The Luzerne County District Attorney’s office has opened a criminal investigation into former Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority Executive Director Fred DeSanto, District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Thursday. Salavantis said the investigation, which began last week, is based on information she received from an internal probe conducted by the authority after it received complaints of alleged improper activity by DeSanto. DeSanto, who DeSanto served as executive director since 1998, retired from his position on Aug. 27, hours before he was scheduled to be interviewed by the authority’s board regarding the Salavantis allegations. The authority’s solicitor, William Finnegan, said he turned over all information to the District Attorney’s Office last week. Salavantis said she checked with the state Attorney General’s Office to ensure there was no conflict in her office handling the case given that Finnegan works as an assistant district attorney. The office told her there wasn’t as long as Finnegan is not involved in the investigation. Salavantis said she could not provide any further details regarding the case, citing the ongoing investigation.

LOCAL Jury takes over in towing fatality Robert Wickham says he did drink beer before undertaking a towing job, but the car had no brakes.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Jurors will return to deliberations today to determine the fate of a tow-truck driver facing charges of homicide by motor vehicle while driving under the influence and two counts of DUI.

Robert Wickham testified Thursday he drank several 24ounce cans of Keystone Light beer on March 7, 2011. What he didn’t do, he said, is kill 55-yearWickham old Denise Polinchak while attempting to tow her vehicle. “I did not hit Mrs. Polinchak,” Wickham said in the last day of testimony at his trial. “Her car hit her.” A jury began deliberating Wickham’s

fate around 4:45 p.m., but was sent home by Judge Joseph Sklarosky 90 minutes later. Sklarosky said the jury of six men and six women will continue their deliberations this morning. Wickham was one of just two witnesses called to testify by his attorneys. A tow truck driver for over 20 years, Wickham testified he drank about three 24-ounce cans of beer before 1 p.m. on March 7, while he was removing snow from several properties. Later, Wickham said, he performed

some towing jobs before being called to the Social Security Administration building in Plains Township to tow Polinchak’s vehicle due to an unknown problem. Wickham said he was directed to Polinchak’s car by security guards and began to prepare the car for towing. Wickham said he wanted to back the car away from a snow bank and told Polinchak to stay by his tow truck so she was not in harm’s way. See FATALITY, Page 6A

Cuts spur protest at GNA board meeting The problem is a decrease in state funding, a school board member tells parents.

By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

NANTICOKE – A group of concerned parents came out to regular meeting of the Greater Nanticoke Area School Board on Thursday to protest recently enacted program cuts that were the result of a decrease in state funding. The board was presented petitions

against the discontinued elementary physical education, art and music programs. A number of parents spoke out in opposition to the cuts and many offered proposals to reinstate the defunct programs through volunteerism and tax increases. “Elections have consequences,” said board member Tony Prushinski. Many of you wanted change in the last election and voted for Governor Corbett. Well, look around; you got it.” Superintendent Tony Perrone told the crowd that even in light of the program cuts, the district has fared better than many others throughout the state

due to its policy of creative and proactive federal and state grant procurement. “There are 501 school districts in Pennsylvania,” explained Perrone. “Each and every one of them is experiencing similar budget concerns.” Many parents suggested elementary teachers should include physical activity as part of their daily lesson plan. “I came out for my daughter,” stated George Merrick of Nanticoke. “Cutting these vital programs from the curriculum is not what we should be doing. These kids need these classes at that age. But unfortunately, like most things, it’s all about money.”

A losing bidder is criticizing the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority’s selection of a new levee fee collection company. “We were surprised and disappointed that we were not selected to collect the 2012 levee fee, even though we were the lowest bidder,” said county Treasurer’s Office Manager/Tax Administrator Laura Beers. Some authority members expressed concern during Tuesday’s authority meeting that the treasurer’s office couldn’t handle the additional workload. Beers said the office would 2 0 1 2 F E E S not submit a proposal it couldn’t The Luzerne County Flood Protecfulfill. tion Authority will She also ques- mail 2012 levee fee tioned why a rep- bills by the end of resentative of September.

Because fee collection is a professional service, the authority is permitted to consider factors beyond cost and is not required to accept the lowest offer. The authority discussed Northeast Revenue’s ability to easily add delinquent levee fees to its computer program already used for delinquent county property tax collection. Authority officials also said Northeast can accept levee fee payments online and at several branches of Landmark Community Bank – services not offered in the other proposals. “Contrary to statements made in our absence, our office has the software in place to collect the fee, and we did include a credit/debit card option,” Beers said. Beers said her office, which handles county tax collection in three cities, has only 1,100 tax bills to process through the end of the year out of a total 22,442. Her office decided to submit the proposal to generate additional revenue for the county’s strained general fund operating budget, she said. “We were ready to quickly and efficiently take on this responsibility and would have provided the best value to the Flood Protection Authority,” Beers said. Kingston resident Brian Shiner, who regularly attends authority meetings, said the decision should be reversed because the treasurer’s office provided a responsible proposal at the lowest price. The county treasurer’s office proposal was for $25,275. Keystone Collections Group would charge $28,600, and Northeast Revenue’s proposal was $30,550. Shiner said he has contacted Keystone and the treasurer’s office urging them to protest the contract award. “The bottom line is they went with the third highest when both of the other options would cost less,” Shiner said.

House OKs spending bill

vice presidential candiR epublican date Paul Ryan on Thursday went

along with a stopgap spending bill in the House that avoids a government shutdown but carries a price tag $19 billion higher than the budget he wrote in his role as a congressman. Ryan, the top budget writer in the House, voted for a temporary spending bill that lets Congress keep government open for another six months. That allows lawmakers and President Barack Obama to put off dicey budget talks until after the Nov. 6 election. The House approved the measure, 329-91. The Senate, where Democrats hold a narrow majority, is expected to approve it before the Oct. 1 deadline, averting a government shutdown at the start of the new fiscal year.

GUATEMALA CITY

Eruption forces evacuation A long-simmering volcano outside one of Guatemala’s most famous tourist attractions exploded into a series of powerful eruptions Thursday, hurling thick clouds of ash nearly two miles (three kilometers) high, spewing rivers of lava down its flanks and forcing the evacuation of more than 33,000 people from surrounding communities. Guatemala’s head of emergency evacuations, Sergio Cabanas, said the evacuees were leaving some 17 villages around the Volcan del Fuego, which sits about six miles southwest (16 kilometers) from the colonial city of Antigua. The ash was blowing south and authorities said Antigua was not currently in danger, although they expected the eruption to last for at least 12 more hours. The agency said the volcano spewed lava nearly 2,000 feet down slopes billowing with ash around Acatenango, a 12,346-foot-high volcano whose name translates as “Volcano of Fire.” CHICAGO

Striking teachers optimistic The Chicago Teachers Union said Thursday that the city’s public schools will stay closed for at least one more day, but the union president said she was hopeful that both sides were close to completing a settlement to end the nearly weeklong strike. “We are optimistic, but we are still hammering things out,” Karen Lewis said. The union called a special delegates meeting for Friday afternoon, when the bargaining team was scheduled to give an update on contract talks. Lewis said students could be back in class by Monday, a week after teachers walked out. BEIRUT

Conflict seen worsening The diplomat tasked with ending Syria’s civil war said that the conflict is worsening on Thursday, the same day he traveled to the country for the first time since taking up a job he himself has called “nearly impossible”. Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy, was expected to meet Syrian President Bashar Assad on Friday. He also was to meet members of the Syrian opposition. “We came to Syria to consult with our Syrian brothers,” Brahimi said on arrival at the airport in Damascus. “There is a crisis in Syria and I believe it is getting worse.” Brahimi replaces Kofi Annan, who left the job in frustration in August after his efforts failed to stem a conflict that started in March 2011. Activists estimate some 23,000 people have been killed in the bloodshed.

BENGHAZI, Libya — The attack that killed four Americans in Libya, including the U.S. ambassador, was an organized two-part operation by heavily armed militants that included a precisely timed raid on a supposedly secret safe house just as Libyan and U.S. security forces were arriving to rescue evacuated consulate staff, a senior Libyan security official said on Thursday. Wanis el-Sharef, eastern Libya’s deputy interior minister, said the attacks Tuesday night were suspected to have been timed to mark the 9/11 anniversary and that the militants used civilians protesting an anti-Islam film as cover for their action. Infiltrators within the security forces may have tipped off militants to the safe house location, he said. He said an unspecified number of militants suspected of taking part in the attack have been arrested and that others were being closely monitored by police to see whether they are linked to a group. He refused to elaborate. Ambassador Chris Stevens and another Stevens American were killed in the consulate during the initial violence, as plainclothes Libyan security were evacuating the consulate’s staff to the safe house about a mile away, el-Sharef said. The second assault took place several hours later and targeted the safe house — a villa inside the grounds of the city’s equestrian club — killing two Americans and wounding a number of Libyans and Americans. El-Sharef, who was running the Interior Ministry’s operations room commanding security forces in the city, gave an account of the night’s chaotic events. The crowd built at the consulate — a one-story villa surrounded by a large garden in an upscale Benghazi neighborhood — in several stages, he said. First, a small group of gunmen arrived, then a crowd of civilians angry over the film. Later, heavily armed men with armored vehicles, some with rocket-propelled grenades, joined, swelling the numbers to more than 200. The gunmen fired into the air outside the consulate. Libyan security guarding the site pulled out because they were too few. “We thought there was no way for the

protesters to storm the compound, which had fortified walls,” he said. El-Sharef said Libyan security advised the Americans to evacuate, but he says the advice was ignored. There was shooting in the air from inside the consulate compound, he said. At this point, he said, the crowd stormed the compound. The consulate was

looted and burned, while plainclothes security men were sent to evacuate the personnel. Stevens, he said, is likely to have died of asphyxiation following a grenade explosion that started a fire, el-Sharef said. Ziad Abu Zeid, a Libyan doctor to whom Stevens’ body was taken, said Wednesday

the 52-year-old Stevens died of asphyxiation. U.S. officials have said attackers broke into the main consulate building at around 10:15 p.m. and set the compound on fire. Amid the evacuation, Stevens became separated from others, and staffers and security that tried to find him were forced to flee by flames, smoke and gunfire. After an hour, according to U.S. officials, U.S. and Libyan officials drove the attackers from the consulate. The next attack came hours later. Around 30 American staffers along with Libyans had been evacuated to the safe house while a plane arrived from Tripoli with a joint U.S.-Libyan security group that was to fly them back to the capital, el-Sharef said. El-Sharef said the original plan was for a separate Libyan security unit to escort the evacuees to the airport. Instead, the joint unit went from the airport to the safe house, possibly because they were under the impression they were dealing with a hostage situation, he said. The militant attack coincided with the joint team’s arrival at the safe house, he said. That the attackers knew the safe house’s location suggests a “spy” inside the security forces tipped off the militants, he said.

Coptic Christian linked to anti-Muslim film U.S. points to Nakoula B. Nakoula, of California, on probation in financial crime. By EILEEN SULLIVAN and STEPHEN BRAUN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Federal authorities have identified a Coptic Christian in southern California who is on probation after his conviction for financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday. The official said authorities had concluded that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, was behind “Innocence of

Muslims,” a film that denigrated Islam and the prophet Muhammad and sparked protests earlier this week in Egypt, Libya and most recently in Yemen. It was not immediately clear whether Nakoula was the target of a criminal investigation or part of the broader investigation into the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya during a terrorist attack. Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed Thursday that Justice Department officials were investigating the deaths, which occurred during an attack on the American mission in Benghazi. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, said Nakoula was connected to the per-

sona of Sam Bacile, a man who initially told the AP he was the film’s writer and director. But Bacile turned out to be a false identity, and the AP traced a cellphone number Bacile used to a southern California house where it located and interviewed Nakoula. Bacile initially told AP he was Jewish and Israeli, although Israeli officials said they had no records of such a citizen. Others involved in the film said his statements were contrived, as evidence mounted that the film’s key player was a Coptic Christian with a checkered past. Federal court papers filed against Nakoula in a 2010 criminal prosecution noted that he had used numerous aliases, including Nicola Bacily, Robert Bacily, Erwin Salameh and others.

PSU slow on settling, claimants say N.Y. bans huge sugary drinks; Lawyers for molesting victims say they are tired of waiting for promised action by the university. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Nearly three months after Penn State said it wanted to settle “privately, expeditiously and fairly” with the boys Jerry Sandusky sexually abused, lawyers for the victims from his criminal case and other potential claimants say the school has not followed up with concrete action. The attorneys told The Associated Press in recent days that they had very limited contact with the university and, if that continues, more lawsuits may follow the four now under way. “I believe there has been a window of opportunity, which is closing, despite enormous patience by the lawyers who represent the victims,” said Philadelphia attorney Tom Kline, who represents a young man who testified during Sandusky’s criminal trial he was fondled in a school shower in 2001. Kline and the other lawyers told the AP that they will not wait indefinitely for the university to propose a settlement process stemming from Sandusky’s conviction in June on 45 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys. The former assistant football coach awaits sentencing. Since Sandusky was charged more than 10

“I believe there has been a window of opportunity, which is closing.”

months ago, eight legal teams that together represent at least 20 people have surfaced. The school faces potential civil claims that could lead to payouts of millions, even tens of millions, of dollars. Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre said the school has had “multiple Tom Kline Victim lawyer conversations” with victims’ lawyers, but offered no specifics, either about the process, how much money might be made available or eligibility standards. In one sign of action, the university has consulted with lawyer Ken Feinberg, who ran victim compensation funds for victims of Agent Orange, the Sept. 11 attacks, the Virginia Tech massacre and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Still, some lawyers say they have heard little or nothing from the university since school President Rodney Erickson announced the night of the Sandusky verdict that the university planned to contact them, in the near future, and invite them to participate in a program “to facilitate the resolution of claims against the university” by providing “a forum where the university can privately, expeditiously and fairly address the victims’ concerns and compensate them for claims relating to the university.”

beverage makers vow lawsuit If not blocked, the law will take effect in six months, a first for an American city.

By TINA SUSMAN Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK - New York on Thursday became the first city in the nation to ban super-sized sugary drinks in restaurants, setting the stage for a legal challenge by the beverage industry, which calls the rule a violation of consumers’ rights to drink what they want even if it is destroying their health. The Board of Health, which is appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, easily approved the rule, which will limit to 16 ounces the size of sodas and other sugary drinks sold in food-service establishments such as restaurants and delis. Assuming it is not blocked by legal challenges, it would take effect in six months and impose a $200 fine on businesses found in violation.

Eight members voted yes, none opposed, and one board member, Sixto R. Caro, a doctor, abstained after saying he remained "skeptical" about how much good the rule would do to curb obesity. Depending on the point of view, the rule is a violation of basic human rights; a measure to protect children from lives of diabetes, heart disease and other ills; an economic misstep; or a necessary move toward curbing New York’s obesity problem. But the law, which Bloomberg proposed last May, also led to a broader debate of how best to control the city’s - and the nation’s - collective weight problem. In public comments that preceded the board’s vote, critics accused the city of failing to spend money to ensure children in poor, urban areas most affected by diabetes and other weight-related issues have after-school recreation programs or parks in which to exercise.

Flu clinic takes fight to W-B City residents will have many opportunities next month to get immunized. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – With flu season approaching, hundreds of people took advantage of the city’s first free flu shot clinic on Thursday to make sure they’re immunized against the potentially deadly virus. One by one city residents signed some forms, stepped into a mobile clinic, rolled up their sleeves and walked out with much better odds they will not be one of thousands annually who come down with the flu. In total, the city vaccinated 275 residents on Thursday. Following last year’s mild flu season, some health officials are preparing for what could be a worse than normal season over the next seven months. “When you have one mild flu season, the next season tends to be considerably worse,” said Holli Senior, a state Department of Health spokeswoman. Ted Kross, the director of the city’s health department, said 11 people died statewide during the 2011-12 flu season from the flu, including one in Luzerne County, and there were 2,450 reported cases. And that was in a mild year. In 2010-11, there were 89 deaths and 19,208 reported cases statewide. Senior noted those numbers do not accurately reflect the true numbers because not everyone with the flu seeks treatment. Peak flu season arrives in February but it begins in October and lasts through April, Senior said, making September and October prime times to get vaccinat-

ed. And most people are urged to get a flu shot. “Anyone six months and older should be vaccinated,” Senior said. While in recent seasons, the flu vaccine arrived late, was in short supply and caused long lines when clinics were set up, things don’t appear to be on track this year. Senior said the first batches arrived from the vaccine makers

While in the driver’s seat, Wickham said he held the door open slightly so he could have a clear view. Polinchak was near the car and Wickham said he told her to move away. When he could no longer see her, Wickham said, he started the car and put it in reverse. That’s when, he said, the motor “raced and revved” and “took off like a rocket backwards.” The car door flew open, hitting Wickham in the head and

earlier than usual and there are no indications there will be any shortages. Kross said the city pays $10 per dose and ordered 1,900 doses this year. He said some years the entire allotment is used, other times, like last year, there were extras so the doses were given to those in neighboring municipalities in need. The turnout at the first clinic, held in conjunction with the

A snow bank stopped the car, and when Wickham got out he saw Polinchak lying on the ground. “I was surprised, I didn’t know the car didn’t have brakes,” Wickham said. “In a cooler … I had two (full) beers. (I thought) ‘I’m going to get blamed for this accident.’ ” Wickham said he threw the

beer over a snow bank and yelled to a security officer, who responded he saw the entire accident and help was coming. When police arrived, medics attended to Wickham and he was taken by police to WilkesBarre General Hospital for a blood-alcohol test – which revealed a level of .114 percent. An adult in Pennsylvania is considered intoxicated with a

Among those getting their free flu shots was Bob Lawton, a 69year-old East End resident who attends a city clinic annually to get his vaccine. “Why not? It’s free,” Lawton noted. “You do it for your health.” He said he’s been getting the flu shot annually as far back as he can remember and can’t recall getting the flu any of those years. Kross, with the city health department, said the flu shot’s effectiveness is 79-86 percent. He said seniors are by far the population that should do whatever it can to get vaccinated. He said 64 percent of the flu-related deaths in recent years occur in those age 65 and older. BAC of .08 percent. Wickham said he would not have moved the car if he knew it did not have brakes. “I would have put it in neutral and coasted around,” Wickham said. Under questioning by Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake, Wickham admitted drinking isn’t a good idea before going to do a tow job. He also said some witnesses lied when they said he was aware of a brake problem with the car. “It’s not my fault. The car had no brakes. I had no control of the car,” Wickham said.

to provide a police report on the accident, but never did. Solt said he was led to believe Rigle was a medical doctor because he signed his emails “David Rigle M.D.,” but later learned that Rigle’s medical license was suspended or revoked. Investigators learned that Rigle formerly lived in Syracuse, N.Y., that he was affiliated with Toxic Tort Consultant, and Forensic Med Pro, and was now operating under the business names of The Care Protection Resource, LLC, and Integra Medical Experts. They also learned that his medical license had been revoked. In the other case still under investigation, First Assistant Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said the alleged victim, whom he did not identify, was seeking a medical expert to evaluate a malpractice claim the man was considering filing in connection with the death of his mother at a health care facility. The man made numerous payments to Rigle and McMenamin, but they never provided him the report. Rigle was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 cash bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. Wednesday before District Judge James Dixon in Hazle Township.

RIGLE Continued from Page 3A

from Rigle’s failure to provide a report to attorney John Solt of Hazleton. According to an arrest affidavit, Solt initially contacted Rigle, of Toxic Tort Consultants and Forensic Consulting Specialists Inc., in September 2009, requesting that Rigle conduct a “pre-review” of medical records for a client, which Rigle agreed to complete at no cost. Rigle later told Solt the case had merit and that he needed an initial retainer of $2,500 to obtain an expert who would render a favorable opinion. Rigle by email requested in July 2010 an additional retainer of $4,000, which Solt paid. Solt repeatedly emailed Rigle between August 2010 and April 2011 about the report and was given excuses about why it was not done. Solt stopped returning emails in April 2011 and, in May, Solt left Rigle a message indicating he was going to contact the authorities regarding what he believed to be fraud. He received an email from a person identifying herself as Taylor Provost, who wrote that the report was not delivered because Rigle was in an auto accident. She agreed

POLICE BLOTTER

Smith allegedly drove an ATV across the Nanticoke-West Nanticoke Bridge and attempted to escape a pursuit through woods that ended with his surrender on West Main Street on Aug. 30, according to the criminal complaint. A woman passenger on the ATV was taunting an officer during the pursuit. Charges of operation on streets and highways, driving without a license, careless driving and fleeing or attempting to elude police were filed against Smith with District Judge Donald Whittaker. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Oct. 17. • Police charged Janine M. Mayewski, 42, of East Noble Street, Nanticoke, with stealing $150 from her mother on Sept. 4.

than the groom in his black pants and white button shirt. Dolman, of Plains Township, had planned to wear his dress uniform, but said the unit is in the process of switching to new ones, and that the old ones are gone but the replacements haven’t arrived. They stood in the sparsely populated Lighthouse Fellowship Church in West Pittston while the Rev. Ed O’Mara gave some Biblically-based yet common sense advice. “Most guys don’t say ‘I love you enough,’ ” he told Dolman. “You never, ever run out of ‘I love you.’ ” “You don’t fall in love,” O’Mara cautioned. “You stand in love. We make a choice, for better in worse, and you stand in love.” And recounting his own days as an Army lieutenant in Vietnam watching men read those “Dear John” letters, O’Mara prodded attendees to help prevent such sadness. “The family has got to encourage Victoria. She’s going to need to know she can depend on you guys when her husband is missing.” The abrupt rush in planning a wedding gave them weeks instead of months, and one of the big problems was scheduling a time and place that would work for everyone.

so became a hectic affair, and the receptions were small gatherings at the houses of a grandmother and then a sister. The newlyweds have been a couple since they met at Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre, and Justin, 22, enlisted right after graduation. Dolman said he’s not particularly nervous about going to Kuwait, and his wife said some of her concerns were allayed when she joined a family readiness group and learned of the numerous ways she can stay in steady contact with her new husband. They still plan a fuller service up-

on his return. So out of the little church they came, beaming as the small crowd blew bubbles and … what’s that? “I didn’t get that! You walked too fast! You didn’t tell us you were coming! Go back.” Back they went, for a slower take, Dolman jokingly shouting “We’re coming!” as he escorted the woman he has nicknamed “Boo Bear.” And Victoria’s nickname for him? Well, really, we don’t need to give his Army buddies that kind of teasing ammo …

Park gets 10-20 for retaliation attempt Authorities say Kingston man plotted to kill judge, assistant D.A. and police officer. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A Kingston man charged with soliciting to kill a Luzerne County district judge, an assistant district attorney and a police officer was sentenced Wednesday by a Lackawanna County judge to 10 to 20 years in state prison. Richard Allen Park, 25, of Turner Street, was sentenced by Judge Vito Geroulo on two counts of retaliation against prosecutors or judicial officials. Park, who pleaded no contest to the charges in April, was originally charged in December 2011. Prosecutors say Park conspired with other inmates at the Lacka-

wanna County prison to retaliate against District Judge Joseph Halesey, Assistant District Attorney Alexis Falvello and Hanover Township police officer David Lewis – all of them involved in child sex charges Park was incarcerated on. Park was being held at the Lackawanna County Prison on pending sexual assault charges in Luzerne County when prosecutors say they learned Park conspired with other inmates to kill Falvello. Park told investigators Falvello was the prosecuting attorney in his case and denied “placing a hit” on anyone. Investigators then spoke with inmate Diego Perez, who said he befriended Park. Perez said Park asked him to get someone outside the prison to retaliate against Falvello, Lewis and Halesey.

Park also later told corrections officers he wanted his attorney, John Pike, killed if “Pike blew the trial.” Another inmate, Anthony Simpson, provided police with a map that had Halesey’s address; the address of the Falvello law offices and a description of Falvello. In the sexual assault case, Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni sentenced Park on Aug. 24 to 10 to 20 years in prison on one count each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and unlawful contact with a minor. Prosecutors say Park inappropriately touched a 7-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. Park must register his address under Megan’s Law for his entire life and is to have no contact with the victims or unsupervised contact with any minors. He pleaded guilty to those charges in March.

OUR OPINION: SAFETY STRATEGIES

Don’t let crime claim your town

SPATE OF local shootings, including two deadly outbursts this summer in Plymouth, might compel certain Luzerne County residents to hunker down in their houses and complain about what they perceive as runaway crime rates. So be it; there always will be miserable sorts whose only response to a problem is to grumble. The rest of you – those who refuse to retreat into walled-off spaces, self-defeating mindsets and other prisons of your own making – can adopt any number of strategies aimed at reducing criminal activity and making your neighborhood a safer and more pleasant place. • Get to know your neighbors. Introduce yourself to the people whom you previously only acknowledged with a wave. Better yet, hold a block party or other activity to help people on your street become more familiar. Chances are, if you share the same space, you share many of the same concerns about abandoned vehicles, nuisance properties and other potential trouble spots. • Stop opposing every planned methadone clinic and drug-treatment program that attempts to enter your community. If your area isn’t helping abusers to conquer their habits, isn’t it simply fueling the likelihood for more drug use and all the ugliness it attracts: illicit manufacturers, dealers and, inevitably, violence? • Start a crime watch program or join an existing one. Participants – who are never asked to put themselves in

harm’s way – typically get the latest updates on criminal patterns in their community and learn safety tips to employ at home. Regardless of whether you belong to a group, don’t hesitate to report suspicious activity to police. • Engage with elected officials. Attend council meetings and let your leaders know you expect sensible ordinances regarding rental properties and swift action on rundown homes. Is your community’s police force adequate? Can it be enhanced? If not, have you urged officials to move forward with plans for a combined force with nearby towns? • Support youth programs. Better that your bucks, in the form of charitable donations, go toward Big Brothers Big Sisters or Scouting programs than, in the form of tax dollars, to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, right? • Improve the area’s housing stock by sprucing up your property, if needed, or lending help to a neighbor lacking either the ability or cash to handle routine maintenance. In some communities, volunteers operating under the banner “Paint the Town” regularly pitch in with lawn rakes and paint brushes. • Take reasonable precautions. We don’t subscribe to the belief that you need to stockpile your “castle” with readily accessible handguns. Evidence suggests you’re probably safer by latching a sturdy deadbolt lock in each exterior door and by flipping on the porch lamps. A single light bulb – like a bit of enlightenment – can do far more than you might imagine.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Tax credit loss will take wind out of our sails

ennsylvania has a lot to lose if Congress refuses to act on wind energy – more than 4,000 jobs, for starters. We are fifth in the nation in wind-energy jobs, with 15 facilities that manufacture wind components. And the 4,000 windenergy jobs in our state – in operations, maintenance, construction and many support sectors – keep our families here, contributing to our communities and paying taxes. But we could lose all these jobs if Congress lets the federal Production Tax Credit expire. The PTC is one of our most successful policies, helping increase our locally made clean energy, keeping electricity rates low and helping to create great jobs. All those jobs are likely to go to China and other countries – forever – if U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta and the majority in the House of Representatives do not act on the PTC. Tell Rep. Barletta to save Pennsylvania jobs and vote to extend the PTC. Bob Kay Laflin

‘Religious bigotry’ prof should look in the mirror

Punish attackers, revile filmmaker U

HE KILLING OF four U.S. diplomats in Libya, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, was a deliberate attack. It was done under the cover of a demonstration against an anti-Muslim movie, but was more than a protest about a film. That it was done on Sept. 11 hints this was not an accident. The attackers deserve swift punishment – the specific attackers. We do not condemn Libya. Libyan troops defended the Americans and tried to help survivors, and the Libyan government denounced the attack. If the trailer of this movie is any indication, it is crude, mocks Islam and purposefully aims to inflame the devout. It was upEDITORIAL BOARD

loaded to the Internet July 2 by someone calling himself Sam Bacile. A source close to him says he is not Israeli and that Sam Bacile is not his real name. People in the Muslim world should understand that this man’s movie is him talking, and not the opinions of 300 million Americans. In the United States he is free to say what he will – that is our culture – and we are free to condemn him. Which we do. His movie is trash and he is vermin for having made it.

niversity of Central Florida professor Charles Negy accuses his evangelical students of being arrogant “bigots” for claiming that Christianity is the only true religion (“Professor Charles Negy challenges America’s ‘religious bigotry,’ ” Sept 9). Apparently, Negy thinks it’s arrogant to hold any belief when you know that reasonable people of good will disagree with that belief. That implies that we’re all arrogant, because everybody holds views on politics, ethics, entertainment, etc., with which we know reasonable people disagree. In fact, on Negy’s view, everyone is unavoidably arrogant. Consider belief in God. There are only three options when it comes to belief in God. Believe. Disbelieve. Or form no opinion and remain agnostic. Each of these three options is one that reasonable people of good will reject. Even worse, Negy himself is arrogant for claiming that it’s arrogant to hold on to any personal belief that is reasonably debatable. For that claim itself is reasonably debatable. So, if evangelicals are arrogant, Professor Negy, join the club. It’s called the human race. Greg Bassham Wright Township

Reader debates claims of GOP war on women

o quote Capt. Jean-Luc Picard from “Star Trek: Insurrection”: “How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million?” This is in response to letter writer Sue Haas’ claims (“Women urged to reject GOP’s punishing platform,” Aug. 30). I would like proof to her claims that the Republican Party is “pushing for complete control over the female anatomy,” especially considering that 50 percent of Republicans are women. If Haas believes that the Republican Party wholeheartedly believes that “abortion under any circumstances should be criminal,” would the ones having abortions be the criminals or would the ones involved with providing abortions be the criminals? I have no idea if the pro-life movement is all Republican. I was a Democrat before I switched to Republican and I was never pro-choice. She claims that “Republican backroomdeal attempts at inserting government into the most personal aspects of a woman’s life are disgusting, sinister and dangerously alarming.” I say that trying to increase the number of abortions, birth controls, contraceptives and sterilizations is disgusting, sinister and dangerously alarming. The early fathers recognized that the purpose of sexual intercourse in natural law is procreation; contraceptive sex, which deliberately blocks that purpose, is a violation of natural law. We want you punished for “controlling your own uterus”? That is an absolute statement. We have begun a “war on women”? Let us look at that. War is an organized, armed and often a prolonged conflict that is carried on between states, nations or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption and usually high mortality. In war, aside from the dead, you also have the injured and maimed. In this case, the “usually high mortality” is associated with the result of the abortion process.

Move to multiculturalism seen as damaging to U.S.

e’ve been heading toward one-party rule in the United States since passage of the Hart-Cellar immigration law in 1965. This law was passed during President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” regime, when he declared a “war on poverty” but instead imported poverty from Mexico and other nations. By doing this, he imported a new Democratic electorate of non-white minorities with their high-fertility birth rates and virtually shut off immigration from traditional white, Christian countries. The white immigrant percentage is now 63 percent, down from 89 percent in 1965. This all plays into the hands of the people on the left – the Democrats and their multicultural allies. These people want a new America, not the traditional America of our forefathers. America is disintegrated into factions and coming apart. Unfortunately, people in this area, along with the rest of the people nationwide of European ancestry, don’t seem to care. They’re showing their cowardice by remaining silent. The multicultural politicians and their allies – the ethnic activists, journalists, corporations, lawyers and clergy – are counting on people’s continuous blissful ignorance and silence to further their agenda.

Writer predicts Romney will win hands down

oon to be ex-President Barack Obama will go down in history as the greatest snake oil salesman this country’s ever seen. No small feat, that. We elected a man with zero practical experience, zero accomplishments as a senator and zero insight into what makes the man tick. What a disaster! He is, in effect, our first affirmative-action president. Shame on us for ignoring Dr. Martin Luther King’s words. Americans are fairminded and can be fooled once, but soaring rhetoric doesn’t cut it anymore. Prediction: Romney in a landslide. Fran McMullen Wilkes-Barre

Despite public efforts to educate, the state’s new voter ID law remains controversial and confusing to many. “With all the information from around the country regarding what Republicans have been doing to change the law, I would hope it has become obvious that the GOP is trying to steal the election or suppress the vote or both,” state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, DWilkes-Barre, said. “There is absolutely no justification for this law.

The six justices — three Republicans and three Democrats — saved their most aggressive questions for lawyers representing the state and Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who signed the law in March. A couple exchanges became testy during 80 minutes of arguments.

You may provide your identification to the county board of elections in person, over the phone, by email or by traditional mail. Once your identification is verified by the county board of elections, your vote will be counted. What if I don’t have a photo ID? A. If you don’t possess any of those forms of photo identification, you can obtain a Pennsylvania non-driver photo ID. The Pennsylvania non-driver photo ID normally costs $13.50. However, PennDOT will waive the fee if you don’t have another form of ID and need the PA nondriver photo ID to vote. In order to have the fee waived, you must complete and sign a form stating that you do not have another form of photo ID and need the non-driver photo ID to vote. How do I obtain a PennDOT non-driver photo ID? A. While the $13.50 fee for a PennDOT non-driver photo ID will be waived if you attest that you need the ID to vote, keep in mind that other documentation you need to apply for a photo ID could cost money. Also, some of these supporting documents can

take weeks or months to obtain, so if you need a non-driver photo ID to vote in the general election, you should begin taking steps to get one now. Step 1: Obtain PennDOT form DL-54A – Application for an Initial Photo Identification Card – at PennDOT, online on the Department of Transportation website, www.dmv.state.pa.us, or through your legislator’s office. Complete the application and take it to a state driver license center. You will need your Social Security Card and one of the following: certificate of U.S. Citizenship, Certificate of Naturalization, valid U.S. Passport, birth certificate with a raised seal, plus two proofs of residency with your street address listed. Individuals who don’t have any bills, leases, or other documents listing their street address may bring a person with whom they are living to the Driver License Center with them. The person should have their driver’s license or non-driver photo ID with them. If you had a Pennsylvania driver’s license or non-driver photo ID at some point in the past, PennDOT will not require you to show a birth certificate or other identity or residency documentation in order to apply for a non-

driver photo ID for voting purposes. PennDOT will confirm your identity and residency using information they already have in its system. Call PennDOT’s Customer Care Center at 1-800-932-4600 to verify your information. Step 2: When your application and supporting documentation have been reviewed and processed, a Driver License Center staff member will direct you to the Photo Center to have your photo taken. Step 3: Once your photo has been taken, you will be issued a Pennsylvania non-driver photo ID card. If you’ve completed the Oath/Affirmation Voter ID form, PennDOT will waive the $13.50 fee for the photo ID card. Again, make sure you ask for and complete the Oath/Affirmation Voter ID form when you visit the Driver License Center so the usual $13.50 fee is waived. What if I have a religious objection to being photographed? A. You may still vote. You will need to obtain a valid withoutphoto driver’s license or without-photo non-driver ID card from PennDOT. More information on how to obtain a non-photo driver’s license or ID card is available from PennDOT or by contacting your legislator’s office.

gested the law is unconstitutional. Justice Seamus McCaffrey, also a Democrat, pushed the state’s lawyers to explain the Republican rationale used to pass the law and whether the Legislature deserves deference for its decision to pass a politically divisive law that “is now going to trample the rights of our citizens.” Republicans have long suspected ballot-box stuffing in the Democratic bastion of Philadelphia, and they contend the photo ID requirement will solidify public confidence in elections. But Democrats say it is a ruse to suppress the votes of minorities, the poor, the young and others considered more likely to vote for Obama. In the opening statement by a lawyer for the plaintiffs, justices asked whether it would be acceptable for the photo identification requirement to be phased in over a longer period of time —

say, a period covering two federal elections. The lawyer, David Gersch, replied that it would, as long as the law guarantees the right to vote to each registered voter, even someone who cannot get a photo ID that is among several types that are valid under the law. Other states, such as Georgia and Michigan, have made such guarantees in their laws, Gersch said. But under Pennsylvania’s law, “there’s too little time, there’s too many people affected and there’s no place in the statute that guarantees that qualified electors can get the ID they need to vote,” Gersch told the justices. Lawyers for the state argued that the justices should defer to the Legislature’s decision on a policy matter and to the lower court judge’s decision not to halt the law. The justices quickly put them on the defensive. “This court is reviewing a re-

fusal to grant a preliminary injunction. Listening to what I’m listening to today, it’s as if for some reason we’re going to give up the entire history of what we do with preliminary injunctions,” a lawyer for Corbett, Alfred Putman, told justices. “You are an appellate court.” The high court normally has seven members. But it heard the case with just six, and a 3-3 deadlock would allow the lower court decision to stand. A seventh justice, a Republican, was suspended in May after being charged in a political corruption investigation. The plaintiffs include eight individuals, plus the Homeless Advocacy Project, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous was on hand for the arguments.

Luzerne County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski said her deputy, Art Bobbouine, has taken control of her office without her permission, and she questions what county Manager Robert Lawton will do to rectify the matter. “It’s confusing because right now he has told my employees he is in sole charge of this office and clerk of courts and that I have no authority,” Medico Olenginski said. Office workers don’t know which directives to follow, she said. “I’m asking employees to do things, and they’re looking at me confused, and some even got hostile toward me, saying I can’t tell them what to do anymore because Art’s in charge,” she said. Lawton declined comment on the matter Thursday afternoon, citing pending personnel issues. Bobbouine declined comment. Lawton assigned Bobbouine last month to oversee the clerk of courts office, saying Interim Clerk of Courts Tom Pizano is tied up with election matters filling in as election director. Medico Olenginski accepted Lawton’s special assignment to examine document handling in all offices and come up with recommendations to reduce paper and increase public information through technology. But Medico Olenginski said she was never told she would lose management control of her office by taking the assignment. She said Bobbouine issued a memo to staff on Aug. 27 with letterhead identifying himself as “clerk of courts/prothonotary offices.” She also obtained memos about office staffing decisions that were never copied to her. The new home rule charter

to merge for efficiency under the new home rule government. In response, Lawton assigned Bobbouine on Aug. 24 to help implement a corrective plan and handle day-to-day operations in clerk of courts. Assistance is required, Lawton said, because Pizano has been tied up overseeing the election bureau since Leonard Piazza was terminated as election director in April. Pizano will continue handling election matters until a new election director is hired in October and brought up to speed, Lawton said. The corrective plan prepared by Bobbouine and Pizano says at least one prothonotary staffer will be assigned to attend required criminal court proceedings, which will free up a clerk of courts employee to enter records into the system. Prothonotary staffers also will be trained to file clerk of court records during “slow periods.”

eliminated the prothonotary along with all elected row officer posts except for the controller and disBobbouine trict attorney. Medico Olenginski, who receives $36,562 annually, and Register of Wills Dorothy Stankovic, who Lawton is paid $38,562, are guaranteed compensation through the end of 2013, when their elected terms expire. Medico Olenginski said voters elected her to run the office, and she believes she’s “maintained peak performance.” She said she was heavily involved in the online document filing program and wants to make sure it’s properly managed in its infancy. She said she is willing to provide assistance to eliminate filing backlogs in the clerk of courts office but said the decision of others to pull staff from her office has already caused a month-long delay in prothonotary verifications. Verifications are proofs of scanned documents to make sure they’re logged to the correct court cases in the computer system. “I’ve had incidents where employees cried because Art wants to send them to clerk of courts and they have court orders piling up that need to get posted,” she said. She also thought one employee had disappeared on the job and found the worker had been assigned to clerk of court duties without her knowledge. She has asked Lawton to remove Bobbouine’s position from her budget to offset spending overruns in several areas. Medico Olenginski said the deputy post was originally removed from the 2012 budget, but she restored funding for his salary by shortchanging other expenses.

Bobbouine also sent a memo to prothonotary employees on Aug. 27 offering overtime if they want to assist with clerk of court filing. Workers are authorized to put in up to 6.5 additional hours per week before or after their regular shifts or on Saturdays, he wrote. Bobbouine said Thursday that officials are “looking at all options.” “Within a week or two, there should be a concrete plan. It’s going to take some time, but I’m confident we can get it done,” he said. Current warrants have been posted, preventing incorrect prison lodgings for that reason, he stressed. The backlog started developing the end of 2011 when budget cuts and staff reductions “started having an impact,” Shucosky said. Court officials have stressed the seriousness of the matter to county officials, he said. “I know they’re aware of it and trying to resolve it. They’ll have to determine how to address it,” he said.

Players lockout looming for NHL

Current labor deal expires at midnight Saturday, six days before training camps start. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman maintains the league will lock out players Sunday if a new labor deal isn’t reached, and star player Sidney Crosby isn’t optimistic the season will start on time. With both sides far apart and little time before the current deal expires at midnight EDT SatBettman urday, the league’s board of governors met in New York on Thursday as a group of more than 280 players gathered at a hotel a short distance away. Following lockouts last year by basketball and football owners, Bettman says hockey management is determined to come away with economic gains, even if it forces the NHL’s fourth work stoppage since 1992. “Two other leagues — the NBA and the NFL — their players have recognized that in these economic times there is a need to retrench,” Bettman said during a news conference that followed the unanimous endorsement of a lockout during a two-hour owners’ meeting. The last labor stoppage caused the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season, a lockout that ended only when players accepted a salary cap. “Right now it’s not looking great,” said Crosby, a Pittsburgh Penguins star who was just 16 when the last lockout began, “but things can change pretty quickly.” Training camps are scheduled to open Sept. 21 and the season is slated to start Oct. 11. Crosby and others will consider playing overseas if part or all of the NHL season is canceled. Management’s latest offer, made Wednesday in response to a See LOCKOUT, Page 2B

GREEN BAY, Wis. — On a night when defenses dominated the NFL’s most storied rivalry, the Packers got creative — and it worked. Punter Tim Masthay and

backup tight end Tom Crabtree combined for a touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter, and the Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler in a 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Thursday.

HOUSTON — It was 5 p.m. Thursday when a stream of Phillies players gathered around the visiting dugout at Minute Maid Park. A stretch time of 5:10 p.m. was written on a whiteboard, but almost all 29 active players were early and formed a cluster of red in a darkened dome. “I haven’t seen this all year,” one player quipped.

face and three years of dive training kicked in, helping him finish the job. He’s worked on subs in Hawaii. Trained with dolphins in San Diego to find underwater explosives in San Diego. Now his naval career has brought him to Penn State as a step in the road to becoming an officer. Always looking to be active, Byers walked on to the football team in 2010. This week he’s working with the scout team offense as the Nittany Lions prepare to face Navy on Saturday. It will be Military Appreciation Day at Beaver Stadium. Byers and teammate Brent Smith, a Marine who has served two tours of duty in Iraq, will be part of the acknowledgements. Byers, a western Pennsylvania native, originally looked at becoming a Navy SEAL but was not admitted to the program because of his eyesight. So he spent parts of six years learning to become a dive specialist before being accepted into the officer’s program. “You’re in a different world,” Byers said of his underwater career. “It’s just you and your diving buddy next to you accomplishing a mission, working on a job. “Think of someone working on a car outside, on an engine, and they’re doing that without the water aspect around them. So add the environment around us, and it’s just a really cool experience that nobody really gets to see. But we see it everyday underwater.” See PSU, Page 6B

Zapoticky has two very good receivers in veteran Jason Simonovich and newcomer Darik Johnson. But without time, it’s immaterial who the wideouts are. “We’re struggling up front with sustaining the blocks,” Zaruta said. “We have to go back to fundamentals to make that happen.

Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said Fehr is doing a far better job communicating with members than leadership did in the last lockout. Miller believes that he and his fellow players are more in the loop about what is going on than the 30 league owners, who are prohibited by NHL bylaws from publicly commenting about the negotiation process. “I doubt that all the owners are as well informed as all the players,” Miller said. “I don’t know if

had reasons for wanting to delay negotiations. The league tried to start talks last summer, at last winter’s All-Star game, during the playoffs last spring and again at the Stanley Cup finals. “Looking back in hindsight, it looks like there was no urgency on the part of the players’ association to engage or get anything done,” Bettman said. “It’s happened over the summer. I can’t and won’t speculate as to why that would be their intention, but it is what it is. If you look at the record and you look at it in hindsight, I think it is crystal clear.” Annual industry revenue has grown from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion under the expiring deal.

King’s plays tonight at FDU-Florham, an opponent that likes to throw the ball.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Going against a pass-happy offense six days ago, King’s fared well holding one of the top quarterbacks in the nation in Widener’s Chris Haupt to just 205 passing yards, his lowest total since last October. With that defense in tact against a pass-happy team, the Monarchs will face a similar FDU-Florham squad at 7 p.m. today in a rare Friday night game. The Devils (0-1, 0-1 MAC) threw for 342 yards in a loss last week to The College of New Jersey. They consist of the same type of no-huddle, hurry-up offense that Widener brought. The only difference is that FDU is led by a first-year starting QB in junior Mike Santos. So for the second straight week, the Monarchs (0-2, 0-1) will have been preparing for similar schemes and hope to use that to their advantage. “It’s the same as it was with Widener, catch and throw, don’t let him hold onto it too long,” King’s coach Jeff Knarr said. “Make him throw it quick. Force him to throw.” Another thing in the Monarchs’ favor is the Devils piled up yardage, but they also allowed 535 yards and 45 points. But the King’s offense has been sluggish in the early going and Knarr would like to see it get started. “More consistency,” the coach said when asked what he’s looking for from his offensive unit. “We’ve done some good things, we just have to be able to do them longer from there and finish drives.” Quarterback Tyler Hartranft will get the start again for the Monarchs with Bryant Klein out with an injury with hopes of help-

KING’S AT FDU-FLORHAM Records: King’s (0-2, 0-1 MAC); FDU-Florham (0-1, 0-1) When: 7 p.m. today at Robert T. Shields Field, Madison, N.J. Last Meeting: The Devils pulled out a 17-3 victory last season. Last week: King’s dropped a 41-6 decision to Widener and FDU was thumped by The College of New Jersey 45-15. What to know: When the teams have played in New Jersey, the Monarchs have won two of the last three. King’s has won 13 of the 19 all-time games in the series. About the Monarchs: They played well on defense in last week’s loss despite missing key linebackers Ryan Cordingly and Jake Ksiazkiewicz. Both are questionable for tonight’s game. About the Devils: They run a spread offense and led TCNJ last week 21-14 at the 5:15 mark of the second quarter before TCNJ went on a 31-7 run to end the game. Notes: FDU coach Brian Surace was an assistant coach at King’s in 1995. King’s will win if it minimizes mistakes on special teams and doesn’t give the Devils good field position. The Monarchs have played good defense in their first two games, only allowing a total of 195 rushing yards and 385 passing. FDU-Florham will win if it can rack up the passing yards like the 342 yards junior quarterback Mike Santos threw for last week. Up Next: King’s celebrates homecoming against Misericordia. The Devils travel to Delaware Valley.

ing the team break out. Hartranft said his team is brimming with confidence heading into tonight’s game after taking a 6-0 lead against nationally-ranked Widener and that can help the team succeed. “Against Widener we came out and we played good football in the first quarter. We just needed to execute more the rest of the game,” Hartranft said. “That game gave us a lot of confidence that we can play with anyone.”

Coughlin (2-0) at Western Wayne (1-1) 7 p.m. today

Crestwood (1-1) at Pittston Area (0-2) 7 p.m. today

Dallas (0-2) at Berwick (2-0) 7 p.m. today

Delaware Valley (2-0) at Hazleton Area (0-2) 7 p.m. today

The Coaches: Coughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ciro Cinti (36-32, 7th year); Western Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butch Keller (217-173-4, 38th year) Last Meeting: never played All-Time Series: never played Quick Fact: Western Wayne has lost seven of its last nine games. Scouting Coughlin: The Crusaders enter off a workman-like 17-0 victory over Hazleton Area. TB Zac Evans had 146 yards on the ground and QB Tim Pilch added 68 more. The passing game remains a tick off. The defense hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed a point this season and recorded a safety vs. Hazleton Area. Scouting Western Wayne: The Wildcats were overwhelmed by Scranton Prep 53-22 last Friday. The offense managed two touchdowns and did little via run or pass. Prep also returned two interceptions for TDs. What To Expect: Neither team has been able to pass much, although Coughlin has shown promise at times. Coughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game will be the difference. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Crestwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greg Myers (42-45, 7th year); Pittston Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Barrett (3-9, 2nd year) Last Meeting: Crestwood 54-31 in 2011 All-Time Series: Pittston Area leads 5-4 Quick Fact: Crestwood has scored 96 points in winning last two after scoring 73 in first seven games of series. Scouting Crestwood: Linebacker Tyler Robinson saved the day last Friday, stopping a two-point conversion as Crestwood hung on to defeat North Pocono 21-20. QB Jay Popson and WR Kota Kishel clicked and RB Evan Callaghan put some pop in the running game. Scouting Pittston Area: The Patriots are still looking for their first points after being shutout 43-0 by Scranton last Friday. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played two of the top teams in the Lackawanna Conference on successive weeks. A lack of consistency and turnovers have haunted the offense. What To Expect: Pittston Area came into the year eying the postseason. The schedule eases up the rest of September, so this is a good chance to gain some momentum. However, that might not happen tonight. A real toss-up on paper. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Dallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bob Zaruta (0-2,1st year); Berwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s George Curry (415-90-5, 43rd year) Last Meeting: Dallas 53-20 in 2011 All-Time Series: Berwick leads 9-4 Quick Fact: Dallas has won the last two meetings 22-12 and 53-20. Scouting Dallas: Dallas lost 28-7 to Abington Heights in a mini-monsoon last Saturday. The same problems as in the opener were prevalent. The Mountaineers lost too many battles on the line and the running game barely made a whimper. QB Ryan Zapoticky was sacked three times and11 times in the two games. Scouting Berwick: The Dawgs are playing impressively. QB C.J. Curry has five TD passes, equaling the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total from 2011. RB Matt Cashman has been unstoppable and WR Jake Pecorelli is leading a deep and talented receiving corps. However, the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two opponents were in rebuilding modes. Dallas will be a better test. What To Expect: Simply put, if Dallas doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play much better up front this one could get ugly by the fourth quarter. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: DelValâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keith Olsommer (78-65, 13th year); Hazleton Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Drumheller (4-8, 2nd year) Last Meeting: DelVal 44-7 in 2011 All-Time Series: Hazleton Area leads 5-2 Quick Fact: DelVal has won last two games, outscoring Hazleton Area 84-27. Scouting DelVal: QB Bryan Schor torched Valley West for 240 yards and three TDs in a 35-14 victory. The defense allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns, with the last coming in the final minute with the reserves on the field. However, it gave up a couple big plays a week earlier vs. Parkland. Scouting Hazleton Area: The Cougars packed plenty of mistakes into 48 minutes in their 17-0 loss to Coughlin. They were shut out twice from 2006-2011, but are still looking for their first points of the season. Better play is needed on offense, defense and special teams. What To Expect: It might take a series or two for DelVal to get its legs after a long bus ride. But once the Warriors do, they should be able to put away Hazleton Area. -- John Erzar

GAR (0-2) at Carbondale (1-1) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: GARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Wiedlich Jr. (22-6, 3rd year); Carbondaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Larry Gabriel (10-23, 4th year) Last Meeting: never played All-Time Series: never played Quick Fact: Carbondale hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a game on its home field since the 2009 season. Scouting GAR: The Grenadiers scored 59 touchdowns during the 2011 regular season; they have two thus far. The problem appears to be twofold. First, the skill players are inexperienced. Second, GAR has turned over the ball 12 times in two games against very solid Lackawanna Conference opponents. Scouting Carbondale: Carbondale rallied in the fourth quarter only to allow a TD in the final minute in a 32-28 loss to Riverside. The Chargers are a veteran team that looks ready to be a postseason contender after winning two games in 2011. What To Expect: If GAR can get past Carbondale, something that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy task, it could go on a run and get back into the playoff picture. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big â&#x20AC;&#x153;ifâ&#x20AC;? considering the Grenadiers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clicked on offense. -- John Erzar

Lakeland (1-1) at Hanover Area (0-2) 7 p.m. today The Coaches: Lakelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Wasilchak (130-55, 16th year); Hanover Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Hummer (34-25, 7th year) Last Meeting: Hanover Area 35-0 in 2005 All-Time Series: Lakeland leads 3-2 Quick Fact: The last meeting came in the District 2 Class 2A playoffs. Scouting Lakeland: The Chiefs had a chance to seize early-season control of the D2-2A playoff picture until falling short against Valley View 19-14 last Friday. QB Kyle Kiehart and RB Tyler Brady lead a veteran backfield that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappointed this season. Scouting Hanover Area: Hanover Area allowed the opening kickoff to be returned for a touchdown for a second consecutive week in a 51-12 loss to Lackawanna Trail. The young Hawkeyes have been outscored 78-0 in the first half this season and need work on both sides of the ball â&#x20AC;Ś and special teams. What To Expect: Another strong Lackawanna Conference opponent could mean another quick knockout. -- John Erzar

Holy Redeemer (1-1) at Old Forge (2-0) 7 p.m. today

Lackawanna Trail (2-0) at Meyers (1-1) 7 p.m. today

The Coaches: Redeemerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pat Reece (1-1, 1st year); Old Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Schuback (80-39, 11th year) Last Meeting: Old Forge 50-7 in 2009 All-Time Series: Old Forge leads 3-0 Quick Fact: Old Forge has lost only three times in its last 30 games vs. WVC opponents. Scouting Redeemer: The Royals snapped a 22-game losing streak Monday with a 33-21 win vs. Holy Cross. Eric Kerr and Eric Shorts returned fumbles for TDs and Justin Renfer sealed the victory with a pick-6. The defense, though, allowed 356 yards. Scouting Old Forge: The Blue Devils have always been a throwback team, often punishing opponents with their running game. However, QB Brenden Wahl torched Meyers for four long TD passes in a 42-7 win. RB Brian Tomasetti ran over a second consecutive WVC opponent for 114 yards. What To Expect: A game not unlike the previous meetings, with Old Forge winning big heading into crucial league games with Dunmore and Riverside. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Jervis (38-57, 10th year); Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Corry Hanson (4-8, 2nd year) Last Meeting: Trail 55-7 in 2011 All-Time Series: Trail leads 2-0 Quick Fact: Trail has outscored Meyers 70-13 in the series. Scouting Trail: The Lions routed a second consecutive WVC foe, pounding Hanover Area 51-12. They had three runners gain 91 yards or more, with RB Pete Murazzi leading the way with 131. The passing game made a cameo appearance, but added a TD toss as Trail led 36-0 at halftime. Scouting Meyers: After wiping out rebuilding Holy Cross in the opener, the Mohawks had a chance to put the WVC on notice against Old Forge. Instead, a disastrous second quarter led to a 42-7 loss. RB Parrish Bennett, the WVCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rusher in 2011, had just 44 yards on 20 carries. What To Expect: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know more about Trail over the next few weeks when the schedule toughens. Right now, we know the Lions have been able to handle WVC opponents. -- John Erzar

Tunkhannock (0-2) at Montrose (0-2) 7 p.m. today

Williamsport (0-2) at Abington Heights (2-0) 1 p.m. Saturday

The Coaches: Rod Azar (1-11, 2nd year); Russ Canevari (0-2, 1st year) Last Meeting: Montrose 12-6 in 1931 All-Time Series: Tunkhannock leads 8-6 Quick Fact: The teams played between 1914-1931. Tunkhannockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last win was 6-0 in 1929. Scouting Tunkhannock: Last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38-6 loss to West Scranton was similar to the season-opening loss to Coughlin. The Tigers held tough for a half before faltering in the final two quarters. They trailed 14-6 midway through the third quarter. Again, the defense allowed way too many yards rushing. Scouting Montrose: The Meteors were never in the game against Lake-Lehman, losing 49-0 to have their losing streak run to 30 games. Montrose has scored a TD or less in 11 consecutive games while surrendering an average of 42.5 points in that span. What To Expect: Tunkhannock to break into the win column, something that might be tough after this point forward. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Williamsportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Choate (0-2, 1st year); Abingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Repshis (64-20, 8th year) Last Meeting: Williamsport 42-20 in 2001 All-Time Series: Williamsport leads 3-0 Quick Fact: The teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last meeting came in the NEPFC, the twoyear merger of the WVC and Lackawanna Conference. Scouting Williamsport: The good news is RB Devin Miller is on his way to a third consecutive 1,000-yard season. The bad news is he is the only weapon thus far and the defense remains leaky. Scouting Abington: The Comets are looking like their past teams. Against Dallas, RB Quinn Karam ran hard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; albeit not always successful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and QB Dante Pasqualichio was opportunistic. The result was a 28-7 victory. What To Expect: Williamsport has a short week, a long trip and deflating start from which to recover. There will be too much working against the Millionaires at The Pit. -- John Erzar

Scranton (2-0) at Wyoming Valley West (1-1) 7 p.m. today

Susquehanna (1-1) at Nanticoke (1-1) 7 p.m. today

The Coaches: Scrantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Marichak (23-21, 5th year); Valley Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pat Keating (23-12, 4th year) Last Meeting: Scranton 36-7 in 2011 All-Time Series: Valley West leads 7-6 Quick Fact: The teams split two games last season, with Valley West winning in the regular season 21-7. Scouting Scranton: The Knights havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed a point this season, winning both games 43-0. WR Karlon Quiller, one of the top players in District 2, has caught three TD passes and returned a kick for a touchdown. QB Marlinn Waiters has picked up where he left off last season and RB Jake McCarthy has the running game in full swing. Scouting Valley West: The Spartans ran into another quality quarterback last Friday and the results werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty in a 35-14 loss to Delaware Valley. The defense has allowed 412 yards through the air as opponents have completed 64 percent of their passes for four TDs. The offense was stagnant last week. What To Expect: A loss here and Valley West might be looking at the Eastern Conference as its postseason destination. Scranton is capable of steering the Spartans in that direction. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Susquehannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Salinkas (1-1, 1st year); Nanticokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Bruza (8-13, 3rd year) Last Meeting: Susquehanna 26-7 in 2011 All-Time Series: Susquehanna leads 2-0 Quick Fact: The teams hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played prior to the 2010 season. Scouting Susquehanna: The Sabers came into last Friday as a moderate underdog and left with a 16-14 victory over Northwest. The win snapped a four-game losing streak. The 16 points were the most scored by Susquehanna in its last four games. Cole Mallery led a solid rushing attack with 98 yards on 15 carries. Scouting Nanticoke: The Trojans routed a weak ColumbiaMontour Vo-Tech squad last Saturday 36-0. RB Pat Hempel and QB J.T. Levendowski led the rushing attack. The defense held the Rams to 109 yards as Nanticoke posted its first shutout in its last 55 games. What To Expect: This will be a grind-it-out contest as neither team throws all that much. It will come down to which team can run the ball better. -- John Erzar

Northwest (1-1) at Holy Cross (0-2) 1 p.m. Saturday

Wyoming Area (1-1) at Lake-Lehman (1-1) 7 p.m. today

The Coaches: Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carl Majer (30-17, 5th year); Holy Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jeff Stevens (4-8, 2nd year) Last Meeting: Northwest 34-0 in 2007 All-Time Series: Northwest leads 2-0 Quick Fact: Both of Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victories over the Crusaders came in 2007. Scouting Northwest: The Rangers moved the ball in a 16-14 loss to Susquehanna. The problem was they moved it into the end zone only twice. They also missed an opportunity to win at the end and allowed the Sabers, who lost 50-0 a week early, to do just enough to win. Scouting Holy Cross: Holy Cross moved the ball Monday vs. Holy Redeemer. But the Crusaders allowed the Royals to score three defensive TDs in the 33-21 loss. RB Patrick Hagan rushed for 213 yards on 30 carries. Holy Cross has dropped four straight. What To Expect: This is a good game for Northwest to bounce back. The Rangers need to so they can get back into the D2-A playoff race. -- John Erzar

The Coaches: Wyoming Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Randy Spencer (22-23, 5th year); Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jerry Gilsky (13-10, 3rd year) Last Meeting: Wyoming Area 43-10 in 2011. All-Time Series: Wyoming Area leads 25-5 Quick Fact: Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was moved from Wyoming Area to Lehman due to the flood. Scouting Wyoming Area: The Warriors bounced back nicely from an opening loss to Scranton Prep to defeat Mid Valley 28-12. They used two big plays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 56-yard TD catch by Cody Schmitz and a 55-yard TD run by Nick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to take control. The story, though, is the defense, which has been impressive in consecutive weeks vs. very good offenses. Scouting Lake-Lehman: After falling apart in the opener vs. Old Forge, the Black Knights rebounded with a 49-0 win over Montrose as expected. RB Dustin Jones rushed for 145 yards as Lehman piled up 429 yards, but it must be noted that Montrose is among the weakest teams in District 2. What To Expect: It will be a lot tougher for Lehman to move the ball vs. Wyoming Area. But if the Black Knights play like they did vs. Old Forge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; minus the second-quarter debacle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they could make things interesting. -- John Erzar

STANDINGS/STATS

Orioles 3, Rays 2, 14 innings BALTIMORE — Manny Machado singled in the winning run in the 14th inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 Thursday to complete a three-game sweep and remain atop the AL East. With their 81st victory — and 13th in a row in extra innings — the Orioles formally ended a franchise-record run of 14 consecutive losing seasons. Baltimore (81-62) started the day in a first-place tie with the New York Yankees, who faced Boston on Thursday night. Angels 6, Athletics 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jered Weaver pitched two-hit ball over seven innings, Torii Hunter homered and added an RBI single in a six-run seventh, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 6-0 on Thursday to avoid a four-game sweep. Weaver (17-4) struck out nine in his first start since skipping a turn in the rotation because of biceps tendinitis after was struck on his pitching arm by a line drive Sept. 2. Indians 5, Rangers 4 ARLINGTON, Texas — Jason Kipnis hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning off Joe Nathan and the Cleveland Indians snapped a five-game losing streak, beating the Texas Rangers 5-4 Thursday night. Nathan (2-4) had converted a club-record 31 straight save chances before the Indians erased a 4-2 deficit in the ninth. The right-hander’s only other blown save this season came April 11 against Seattle. Twins 4, Royals 3, 10 innings MINNEAPOLIS — Denard Span had a game-ending RBI double in the 10th inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. Trailing 3-1, the Twins capitalized on a bases-loaded walk by Royals closer Greg Holland in the eighth and Trevor Plouffe’s homer in the ninth to tie it. Blue Jays 8, Mariners 3 TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion hit his 40th home run, Adam Lind also connected and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-3 Thursday night to send Felix Hernandez to his third straight loss. Tigers-White Sox postponed CHICAGO — Thursday night’s series finale between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox has been postponed by rain. The game was called after a little more than an hour’s delay. It will be made up on Monday, Sept. 17 at 1:10 p.m. at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Associated Press

BOSTON — Derek Jeter shook off an injury to tie Willie Mays for 10th place on the career hits list, backing Phil Hughes and helping the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Thursday night to maintain a share of the AL East lead. New York won consecutive games for the first time in a month and kept pace with the Baltimore Orioles, who completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 3-2, 14-inning win. Hughes (15-12) retired his first 10 batters and gave up five hits in 7 1-3 innings. He struck out seven, walked one and allowed just three runners past first base, ending a streak of seven straight starts in which he allowed home runs. Hughes has given up two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 38th save in 41 chances.

Misericordia will play first home game when it faces powerful Widener. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

For at least one more time this season Misericordia University will make history. The next of hopefully many more first-timers for the Cougars will be Saturday when they host Widener in the first football game in school history to be held on the Dallas campus. Kickoff is set for 1:10 p.m. at Mangelsdorf Field. It won’t be just the students and parents watching the game because the historic contest will be televised live locally on WQMY. If the Cougars (0-2, 0-1 MAC) are going to mark their first win for the program, they’re going to have work hard for it because the Pride (2-0, 1-0) enter the contest with huge numbers on offense and defense. Widener, which is ranked No. 22 in the nation in the d3football.com poll, is tied for fifth in the country with 52 points per game, while being tied for second in touchdowns scored with 15. This coming after last season when the team scored at least 27 points in every game. One of the obstacles the Cougars defense will have to over-

the Packers’ season-opening loss to San Francisco, did a celebratory dance in the end zone, recalling his stint on the “Dancing With the Stars” reality television show. But Rodgers threw an interception to Tim Jennings and the Bears finally cashed in. Facing fourth-and-7 at the Green Bay 21, Cutler threw a touchdown to Kellen Davis, cutting the lead to 23-10 with 6:49 remaining. But the Bears couldn’t mount a comeback as Matthews and the Packers kept turning up the heat. Rodgers finished the game 22 of 32 for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He got roughed up, too, getting sacked five times. Green Bay got a scare when the NFL MVP appeared to hurt his right arm early in the game, but he

lasted only three innings, necessitating extensive bullpen usage. That meant Aumont for the eighth, which had been a winning formula until Thursday. He walked two and hit another. Fellow rookie Jake Diekman entered to clean the mess and permitted a two-run double to Jed Lowrie, batting for only the fourth time since July 14. The defeat dropped the Phillies to 3 1⁄2 games back of the second wild-card berth, awaiting the outcome of a series opener between St. Louis and Los An-

Byers got a carry last season in a blowout against Eastern Michigan. He hasn’t seen the field this season, but this week’s game against the Midshipmen naturally holds some extra meaning for him. “Oh, if I got any kind of carry – any kind of blocking, any kind of playing time – it would mean the world to me,” Byers said. “I’m already more than grateful that I have a position on the team. Any kind of playing time is phenomenal. And against the Navy, it would be awesome for me.” Mystery man Byers may get a chance to make that cameo. Speaking at his weekly radio show on Thursday, Lions coach Bill O’Brien added a twist for the

W I D E N E R AT M I S E R I C O R D I A Records: Widener (2-0, 1-0 MAC); Misericordia (0-2, 0-1) When: 1 p.m. Saturday at Mangelsdorf Field, Dallas Last Meeting: As all opponents are for the Cougars, this is the first between the teams. Last week: Misericordia lost 47-7 to Lebanon Valley. The Pride clubbed King’s 41-6. What to know: Widener coach Isaac Collins, now in his third season with the team, has coached at Division I programs The Citadel, Delaware, Holy Cross, Lehigh and Columbia. He’s also been on NFL coaching staffs of Philadelphia and the New York Giants. About the Pride: They are first in the nation with 15.0 tackles for loss per game and tied for fourth with 6.0 sacks per game. About the Cougars: They have three stats in their favor this season that show promise for success. The team holds an advantage in time of possession, fewer penalties and least turnovers in the first two games. The Cougars have a plus-3 turnover ratio and haven’t turned the ball over at all. Notes: While Misericordia is in its

first season of collegiate football, Widener is playing in season No. 132. The program started in 1879 and has a record of 651-402-38. Widener will win if it continues to play the way it’s been playing early in the season, putting up big offensive numbers and holding opponents to minimal points. Misericordia will win if it can contain Widener’s potent offense and build off what the Cougars own offense started to develop last week when the first touchdown and interception in school history were recorded. Up Next: Misericordia gets its first taste of a rivalry when it stays in Luzerne County and travels to Wilkes-Barre Township to face King’s. The Pride, meanwhile, continue to play teams from Luzerne County when they host Wilkes. TV: The game will be televised live on WQMY.

come is quarterback Chris Haupt. The 25-year-old and former minor league baseball player loves to sling the ball all over the field. The signal-caller, who was named the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year by Lindy’s Sports Magazine, has already thrown for 503 yards and nine touchdowns this season, accounting for more than 60 per-

cent of the team’s total yards. It’s not just the offense that poses a problem for the Cougars. The Widener defense has been stingy to say the least and is ranked No. 12 in the nation, allowing just 184.5 yards per game and three touchdowns in two games while creating the second-most turnovers (10) in the country.

stayed in. Cutler was 11 for 27 for 126 yards. Earlier in the week, a confident Cutler wished the Packers’ defensive backs “good luck” in trying to match up physically with a new-look wide receiver corps led by Marshall. Stalked by Williams for much of the night, Marshall didn’t see much of the ball. And he couldn’t convert his one big opportunity, dropping a potential touchdown in the third quarter. Forte provided much of what little offense the Bears could muster before leaving the game in the third. He appeared to twist his right ankle while being tackled by Charles Woodson. Mason Crosby hit three field goals for Green Bay, including a 54-yarder in the fourth quarter. The biggest play of the night, though, came from the unlikely tandem of Masthay and Crabtree. With the Packers facing fourth-and-26 on the Chicago 27

late in the second quarter, Masthay, the punter who also functions as the holder on field goals, and Crosby appeared to line up for a field goal attempt. But Masthay took the snap and flipped the ball to Crabtree, who ran through a huge hole and streaked all the way to the end zone. “That’s a gutsy call,” Rodgers said. “It worked out.” Cutler then threw an interception to Williams near midfield with just over a minute left and the play was upheld on a replay review, giving the Packers one last chance to score. Rodgers marched the Packers into scoring range, and Crosby hit a 35-yard field goal. Cutler then threw his second interception of the night late in the third, this time to Woodson, and the Packers appeared poised to score when Charles Tillman punched the ball away from Jermichael Finley and recovered the ball for the Bears.

geles — two teams above them. The bullpen, once this team’s weakest unit, enjoyed a renaissance until the fateful eighth. Phillies relievers had thrown 201/3 straight scoreless innings. Houston, 12-45 since the all-star break and outscored by a136-run margin, made for a formidable opponent. Charlie Manuel will not rest easy knowing his team blew a winnable game. The Astros gifted two Phillies runs in the third inning. Before that, Erik Kratz snapped an 0-for-16 skid with a run-scoring double and Ryan Howard contributed a sacrifice fly. But that was all. Cloyd retired the first six batters in a row, three of them on

strikeouts. Houston loaded the bases in the third on two soft singles and a hit batter. Cloyd coerced a weak Brett Wallace swing on an outside change-up and the inning was over with a bouncer to second. It soured in the fourth when the first two Astros reached on singles and bullpen activity commenced. Rookie Matt Dominguez launched a three-run homer into the short left-field porch and Manuel sprang from the dugout as Dominguez crossed home plate. Cloyd was pitching on short rest and barely expended himself in 65 pitches. Before the game, Manuel would not say how long of a leash Cloyd had.

crowd at the live broadcast when discussing the tailback situation. “There’ll be one other guy back there yet that you haven’t seen carrying the football,” O’Brien said. “We’ll leave that for Saturday.” The top two guys on the depth chart – Bill Belton and Derek Day – remain day-to-day, according to O’Brien, calling into question their availability for Saturday. Curtis Dukes, Zach Zwinak and fullback Michael Zordich have all been working with the first-team offense at tailback in practice this week. While true freshman Akeel Lynch’s name comes to mind, O’Brien made it sound like it could be a non-running back who gets a shot. With him putting linebacker Gerald Hodges back for kick and punt returns in the opener, that leaves the door open for just about anyone.

One less kicker on the sideline For the second time this week, a player has left the Lions. This time, however, it was a nonscholarship reserve. Backup kicker Matt Marcincin is no longer with the team, Penn State confirmed Thursday. The Centre Daily Times first reported his exit. Marcincin was one of three players listed as a placekicker on the roster along with starter Sam Ficken and newcomer Jason DiSanto. O’Brien defended Ficken this week following the loss to Virginia in which he missed four field goals and had an extra point blocked. Ficken has not been seriously challenged for the starting job and Marcincin had not appeared on any depth charts this season. “Sam’s a very mature guy,” O’Brien said Thursday. “Someday I’ll be working for him.”

Wholesale prices jump

A sharp rise in gasoline costs drove up wholesale prices last month by the most in more than three years. But outside energy and food, price gains were mild. The producer price index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, jumped 1.7 percent in August, the Labor Department said Thursday. The increase was mostly because gas prices soared 13.6 percent, the biggest gain in three years. Food prices rose 0.9 percent, driven up by steep increases in the cost of eggs and dairy products. Excluding the volatile food and gas categories, core wholesale prices rose only 0.2 percent, below July’s increase.

Fed takes bold steps

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve unleashed a series of bold and open-ended steps Thursday designed to stimulate the economy by boosting the stock market and making it cheaper for people to borrow and spend. The Fed said it will spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary to make home buying more affordable. It plans to keep short-term interest rates at record lows through mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned. And it’s ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up. “The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said at a

The Fed on Thursday also lowered its outlook for economic growth this year, though it’s more optimistic about the next two years. It expects growth to be no stronger than 2 percent this year. That’s down from its forecast of 2.4 percent in June. At his news conference, Bernanke made clear that higher stock prices are among the Fed’s goals in buying bonds. Bernanke noted that stock gains increase Americans’ wealth and typically lead individuals and businesses to spend and invest more. Still, skeptics caution that further bond buying might provide little economic benefit because rates are already near record lows. Critics also warn that more bond purchases raise the risk of higher inflation later.

news conference Thursday. But he made clear he thinks the economy will need the Fed’s intervention even after the recovery strengthens. Stock prices rose steadily after the Fed’s announcement. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed more than 200 points. The Fed’s policy committee announced the aggressive actions after a two-day meeting. Its moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three years after the Great Recession ended. The actions come a week after the European Central Bank announced its most ambitious plan yet to ease Europe’s financial crisis by buying unlimited amounts of government bonds to help countries manage their debts.

Beef company sues ABC for ‘pink slime’ reports By KRISTI EATON and GRANT SCHULTE Associated Press

NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — Beef Products Inc. sued ABC News for defamation Thursday over its coverage of a meat product that critics dub “pink slime,” claiming the network damaged the company by misleading consumers into believing it is unhealthy and unsafe. The South Dakota-based meat processor is seeking $1.2 billion in damages for roughly 200 “false and misleading and defamatory” statements about the product officially known as lean, finely textured beef, said Dan Webb, BPI’s

Nearly 40 local employers will be accepting resumes and discussing available positions on Tuesday during the annual Times Leader Fall Career Fair at the 109th Field Artillery Armory on West Market Street in Wilkes-Barre. This will be the 17th year for the expo, and with regional unemployment at 9.6 percent – the highest in the state – organizers expect a surge in turnout for the free event. Organizers said they’re already closing in on a record number of participating businesses. Lynda Byrnes, the classifieds sales manager for The Times Leader, said, “We’re expecting a larger turnout than in previous years.” In addition to companies that will be interviewing on the spot and accepting applications, Byrnes said CareerLink has agreed to par- SPACE ticipate and of- AVAILABLE fer resume reviews and guid- There is still time ance on craft- for employers to ing resumes sign up for table that will stand space at the career fair.

Gary Potter, a recruiting specialist with Pottsville-based Fanelli Brothers Trucking, said the greater Wilkes-Barre area seems to be a fertile recruiting area for licensed truck drivers looking for work. He’s been to The Times Leader career fair previously and said this year the company is looking to hire two CDL drivers. Sallie Mae is seeking to fill approximately 70 positions in its Hanover Township call center, said Patricia Christel, a company spokeswoman. “When Sallie Mae chose the Wilkes-Barre area for our facility 25 years ago, we were attracted by the community and the Pennsylvania work ethic, and it has not let us down. We enthusiastically participate in this job fair because it strengthens our relationship with the community and enables us to efficiently connect with many potential candidates,” Christel added.

Series of moves designed to stimulate economy

Led by Southwest Airlines, several airlines are raising prices again. Southwest raised fares Wednesday by $10 per round trip on about 10 percent of its routes. United Airlines expanded the increase later in the day to cover most of its U.S. flights. Delta Air Lines said it matched United’s price hike. American Airlines said that it raised prices on some routes, US Airways and JetBlue Airways said they matched Southwest’s increase, and Virgin America eventually matched the broader United increase.

Chicago-based attorney. The lawsuit filed in a South Dakota state court also names several individuals as defendants, including ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer and the Department of Agriculture microbiologist who coined the term “pink slime.” The company’s reporting “caused consumers to believe that our lean beef is not beef at all — that it’s an unhealthy pink slime, unsafe for public consumption, and that somehow it got hidden in the meat,” Webb said before the company’s official announcement. “The lawsuit is without merit,” Jeffrey W.

BPI will have to prove the network intended to cause harm for the defamation lawsuit to succeed, said Patrick Garry, a media law expert at the University of South Dakota School of Law. 10-YR T-NOTE 1.72%

Another warm, sunny day is on the way for today out ahead of a cold front approaching from Ohio. Skies will turn mostly cloudy tonight with nothing more than a shower anytime between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. We may be lucky to get just 1/10 of an inch of rain overnight, not even enough to put a dent in our rainfall deﬁcits which now range from 2.5 to 5.5 inches below normal. Much cooler weather will move in over the weekend along with some cloudiness tomorrow afternoon but with little or no chance of a shower. Sunday looks delightful, then more rain will move in later Monday, with rain likely on Tuesday as well. -Tom Clark
