Anti-U.S. violence flares in streets By NANCY A. YOUSSEF McClatchy Newspapers

CAIRO – An unprecedented wave of anti-American violence swept across Africa, Asia and the Middle East on Friday as protesters, angered by an amateurish video that mocks the founder of Islam, stormed and scorched U.S. embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, ransacked a German embassy in Sudan, and set a fastfood restaurant ablaze in Lebanon. In all, there were protests in at least 23 nations, stretching from

tions left the Obama administration scrambling both to halt the attacks and to defend its actions in the midst of a hardfought election campaign where questions of foreign policy had largely taken a backseat. But there seemed to be no way to calm anger over a video clip whose production and dissemination the United States had nothing to do with and whose origins are still largely uncertain.

House votes to keep Tobyhanna funding

Two local GOP members vote on temporary measure to save depot. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

For months two local Republican U.S. House members have taken heat for voting to approve a bill that could have led to major cuts at the Tobyhanna Army Depot. All along they said the matter was an oversight and it would be worked out. On Thursday night the first step to remedy the situation took place, though it might be a shortterm solution. The U.S. House voted 329-91to pass a temporary appropriations bill that keeps funding levels for 2011-12 static through March 28, 2013. That’s six months beyond the end of the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The joint resolution is a stopgap measure in case Congress cannot reach an agreement on the appropriation of funds by Sept. 30. The resolution now moves on to the Senate and if approved, heads to the president for

his signature. Even though the resolution’s purpose wasn’t expressly to restore army depot funding -- nor can the words Tobyhanna Army Depot be found in the bill -- one outcome is it restores any potentially lost funding for up to six months. “This takes us well after the election,” Rep. Tom Marino, RLycoming Township said Friday. “Is six months long enough for me? No. But it gives us time to seriously sit down and roll up our sleeves and get something See TOBYHANNA, Page 5A

D’Elia is released to halfway house Hughestown man was at the Federal Correctional Institution near Tucson, Ariz.

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

Federal officials once again relocated inmate William D’Elia, but this time it was to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of his prison sentence. The Bureau of Prisons said Friday he was released to the responsibility of a community corrections center in Philadelphia on Sept. 5, but would not confirm a report by WILK-FM talk show host Steve Corbett that D’Elia was staying at the Catholic Social Services center in Scranton. A call to the Scranton center was not returned. Before his transfer, D’Elia, 66, of Hughestown, was held at the Federal Correctional Institution near Tucson, Ariz. It was his sixth stop after spending time in prisons in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Texas and California. His release date was Feb. 2, 2013, according to the Bureau of Prisons. He gained notoriety as the reputed successor to the late organized crime boss Russell Bufalino, for reportedly meeting regularly with former Judge Michael Conahan, a key figure in the Luzerne County juvenile justice scandal, and cooperating with investigators in the perjury case of Louis DeNaples. In November 2008 a federal judge sentenced D’Elia to nine years for his guilty plea to conspiracy to commit money laundering and witness tampering. In 2010 the judge reduced the sentence for providing “substantial assistance” to investigators, but not for the DeNaples’ case. DeNaples, of Dunmore, was accused of lying about his relationship with D’Elia while applying for a gambling license for the

Board restores debate team funds

Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County. Dauphin County District Attorney Edward Marsico D’Elia Jr. withdrew the charges in 2009 and DeNaples agreed to turn over the control of the casino to a trust in his daughter’s name. Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie cut nearly two years from the sentence for D’Elia’s help in a firearms case against his one-time associate and convicted felon Robert Kulick. Kulick, 64, of Bear Creek Township, sought a similar reduction for disclosing he and D’Elia met with Conahan to discuss cases pending in county court. The disclosure led the state Supreme Court to overturn a $3.5 million verdict entered in 2006 against the owner of The Citizens’ Voice newspaper in a defamation case. The court ruled Conahan had improperly steered the case to former Judge Mark Ciavarella, who with Conahan was charged in the juvenile justice scandal, convicted and sentenced to federal prison. A county judge ruled in favor of the newspaper following a non-jury trial last year. A federal judge sentenced Kulick to 37 months in prison in September 2009. Kulick, who pleaded guilty to the charge, served 17 months before he was released after an appeal and placed on probation. But while on supervised release earlier this year he violated a protection-from-abuse order obtained by his estranged wife, Michele Mattioli-Kulick, and was sentenced to nine months in prison. He is scheduled for release from Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey on Dec. 22, according to the bureau’s website.

Board decides to provide $18,000 for this year after impassioned pleas. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Meyers High School Speech and Debate team may have scored its biggest victory of the year Friday when the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board, apparently persuaded by presentations made by team members at Monday’s regular meeting, restored district funding for the team. The board had pulled the financial support of $20,000 annually during the budgeting process earlier this year as it grappled with a shortfall of more than $5 million. But the cut was not obvious because the money was eliminated from a large line item that covers spending on all student activities including sports. There was never a vote expressly cutting the speech and debate team funding. When team co-founders and

head coaches Kim and Ruth Borland learned about the cut early Monday, they rallied current and former members, who took turns speaking for about 90 minutes at the board’s monthly meeting that night, attesting to the success of the team, the value it provides in scholarships and job opportunities, and the large support it receives in volunteer coaches’ time and private donations – typically topping $40,000 annually. The presentation went on so long the board adjourned without addressing any agenda items, prompting the need for Friday’s special meeting. At the start of the meeting, the board voted to provide $18,000 to the team this year, money that likely will come from a general fund reserve, about $7 million at the start of this fiscal year, that is usually reserved for emergencies. The largesse extended to the Osterhout Free Library, which had seen elimination of an annual district contribution. The board voted to contribute

$45,000 to the library. Both contributions can’t be made before Oct. 1 because state law does not allow changing the district budget before then, and the move is essentially a budget amendment. The board also made the following appointments: Edward Rabel as teacher of the blind and visually impaired, Corey Brenner as secondary school librarian, Glenn Zimmerman as secondary school social studies teacher, Patrick Peters and James Geiger as high school assistant principals, John Mendola as high school dean of students, and Toni Hammond and Donna Majikes as 20-hour-perweek teacher associates. Board member Christine Katsock cast the lone no vote on the appointments. After the meeting she said she wanted candidates to be interviewed before being appointed to such posts, and that many were not. “It’s all political appointments, and you can quote me on that,” she said.

The criminal investigation into former Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority executive director Fred DeSanto is focusing on allegations he used authority staff to perform work on his home and for the District 16 Little League, according a source familiar with the probe. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Thursday she has assigned a detective to investigate allegations of wrongdoing made against DeSanto by authority employees. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the allega-

tions included that DeSanto utilized workers to do work at his home. It’s not clear whether the employees were on Sanitary Authority time or on their own DeSanto time. DeSanto also allegedly had employees perform tasks for the Little League. He has been involved with District 16 for decades, most recently serving as district director. In an email, Patrick W. Wilson, senior vice president of operations and program development for Little League International, said the organization was “disappointed” to hear media reports regarding the investigation into DeSanto. “We will monitor the situation in the coming days and, if warranted, re-

quest that he step aside while the legal process is undertaken,” Wilson said. DeSanto had served as executive director of the Sanitary Authority since 1998. He abruptly retired on Aug. 27, shortly before he was scheduled to be interviewed by the authority’s board regarding the allegations. He previously served in other capacities in the authority’s administration for 18 years. Salavantis said Thursday she launched the criminal investigation after reviewing information the authority obtained during an internal probe. She declined to provide further details because the case is open. In another development, William Finnegan, solicitor for the authority, said the board is withholding payment of unused sick and vacation time DeSanto accrued until the criminal investigation is resolved.

WILKES-BARRE – Michael Polinchak’s life was damaged irrevocably by his wife’s death when she was struck by her car with a drunken tow truck driver at the wheel in March 2011. But Polinchak said Friday he takes solace in knowing Robert Wickham faces jail time for causing the fatal accident. “The wheels of justice are slow but true,” Polinchak said of a jury of six men and six women convicting Wickham on Friday of homicide by motor vehicle while driving under the influence and two counts of DUI. “I’m so relieved … I’m thankful. Justice prevailed.” Wickham was convicted of the charges after a jury deliberated for two and a half hours over a two-day Wickham period. He faces a mandatory three to six years in prison at the Nov. 2 sentencing. “We’re extremely disappointed,” Wickham’s attorney, Tom Marsilio, said of the jury’s verdict. “We’re going to seek to have it overturned.” Marsilio, representing Wickham with attorney Larry Kansky, said Wickham has remained stoic throughout the trial. Marsilio said every successful appeal begins with a conviction and that he and Kansky are confident they have valid arguments. Marsilio cited the defective vehicle Wickham was to tow from the parking lot of the Social Security Administration building on March 7, 2011, and that Wickham’s blood-alcohol content of .114 percent, well above the state’s legal limit for driving of .08 percent, was a “speculative” factor in the case. “Finally, Denise Polinchak is getting the justice she deserves,” said Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake, who prosecuted the case with fellow ADA Rebecca Reimiller. Crake and Reimiller said the verdict shows the jury saw the case their way. The prosecutors said the entire case was based on Polinchak’s vehicle failure – that was the reason Wickham was there to tow her vehicle – and that Wickham was aware there was a brake problem. Wickham testified Thursday he was never told why the car needed to be towed and only later learned of the brake problem. Wickham’s impairment from alcohol contributed to accident, prosecutors said. “(The jury’s verdict) shows the community is sick of accidents (involving drinking and driving),” Crake said.

People raising their grandkids get help at Grandparents Raising Children – The New Traditional Family conference. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – At ages 61 and 56 respectively, James and Debbie Gushock were well along in planning for their retirement years together. But now the couple is raising their grandson – Patrick Perillo-Gushock, 26 months old – whom they call their “little angel.” The Gushocks are two of nearly 2,200 grandparents raising their grandchildren in Luzerne County. There are 165,000 grandparents in PennTo see sylvania who are part of 2.7 additional million across the U.S. who photos, visit have changed their lives to www.times leader.com. raise their grandkids. “We wanted to do this,” Debbie Gushock said. “It’s like starting over again. This is our grandson; we want to provide for him.” The Gushocks attended a conference – the sixth annual Grandparents Raising Children – The New Traditional Family – Friday at Genetti Hotel & Convention Center. The event, attended by more than 200 people, was sponsored by the NEPA Intergenerational Coalition. Howard Grossman, chairman of the event and of the coalition, said the conference was aimed at helping grandparents become familiar with the network of agencies that offer assistance. “The conference brings to the attention of the grandparents where they can go for help,” Grossman said. “And they can meet with representatives of all the agencies and learn by participating in the panel discussions.” The Gushocks said they wanted to find out all they could about how they can best provide for their grandson.

two ash trees, one nearly a foot in diameter and one only a few inches. Cotrone would ask which was older, and most would instinctively assume the bigger one. But a closer look revealed that the smaller one had denser – and more numerous – rings. Cotrone said it was actually about 30 years older than the broader tree had been. Back at the suspended log, seventh-grade student Asher Smart tried to crawl across on his belly after walking across it had failed. “I thought I’d try a new technique,” he said. Alas, while he made it farther than when on two legs, he still found himself rolling off before reaching the other end.

COURT BRIEF

FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Char Grady of Hanover Township laughs as she does a stress relief exercise Friday in a workshop at the Grandparents Raising Children – The New Traditional Family, at the Genetti Hotel & Convention Center in Wilkes-Barre.

“We’ve decided to eat better – healthier – so we can raise him healthier,” Debbie Gushock said. “We want to be around for him.” The Gushocks have had Patrick since he was a week old after they were awarded custody through the court system. They didn’t want to talk about the case, but said they hope they never have to give their grandson up. “It was either we take care of him, or he would have gone to the foster-care system,” James Gushock said. “If one day someone shows up to take him, it will break our hearts.” Debbie Gushock said raising a child in today’s world is much different than when they raised their two kids. She knows as Patrick gets older they will have to brush up on aca-

demics to help him with homework. “If we have to, we will get a tutor to help him,” she said. Asked how they are dealing with dedicating their “golden years” of retirement to their grandson, they both smiled. “We love him and we will always do the best we can for him,” Debbie said. “We’re always looking for ways to help Patrick.” James is a sheet metal worker by day and Debbie moved to the night shift to ensure one of them was always with Patrick. They now qualify for day care help, so Debbie will look for a daytime job. “We’re good parents,” she said. “We live in a different world now – computers, cellphones and so much violence in the world. We’re doing the best we can.”

Judge Lesa Gelb also ordered Wiggins to serve one year probation and to complete 20 hours of community service. Wiggins pleaded guilty to the charges in July. Police said Wiggins held a gun to the head of Chris Emmett after striking him on Oct. 9 and then took a rifle and a pack of Newport 100 cigarettes. Wiggins later told police he did not know where the rifle was but he threw the handgun used in the incident into the Susquehanna River near the levee in Plymouth.

WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth man charged with robbing and pistol whipping another man in October was sentenced Friday to seven to 14 months county prison. Kyrie Wiggins, 19, of East Main Street, was sentenced on charges of robbery and criminal trespassing. Wiggins received 232 days credit for time already served Friday and was immediately paroled.

MI Preparatory School seniors (in blue) taunt and spray freshmen with water as the younger students parade down Main Street in Freeland in their pajamas Friday as part of their school’s initiation. A tradition since the 1950s, the pajama parade is part of freshmen orientation and initiation, complete with heckling by seniors. An ice cream social was held before the parade for the 36 participating freshmen and 44 seniors. The students were accompanied by the Freeland police and fire departments.

county requested some supplemental information from the lone responding developer to the request-for-proposals before presenting to county council a request to match the city’s funding for the property demolition. “The city and county are working towards getting that approved at the next county council meeting in September,” he said. “All project partners are working towards that as fast as possible.” At the Luzerne County Council meeting Tuesday, Councilman Rick Williams pressed county Manager Robert Lawton for an update on the Sterling. The city and CityVest, the building’s nonprofit owner, have asked the county to help fund demolition of the 114-year-old former landmark hotel because the developer wants a clean site. The city is contributing $270,000 toward demolition. County council has agreed to Lawton’s recommendation to cancel up to $1.5 million in funding for demolition, but the county contribution would be less now because recent bids for demolition came in as low as $486,000. Lawton has been meeting with the unidentified developer and said he will make a demolition funding request to council if he believes the development project is credible and will create jobs. McLaughlin said in the mean-

“We’ve had a disturbing summer … with similar cases.” Judge Joseph Sklarosky denied prosecutors’ request that Wickham’s $25,000 bail be revoked and he be jailed. Sklarosky said Wickham may remain free but must wear a monitoring bracelet and will be supervised. “I’ll tell you right now … if there is a drop of alcohol in your system, your bail is revoked,” Sklarosky warned Wickham. Michael Polinchak said Friday his wife’s death and Wickham’s trial are the most difficult things he’s ever gone through, and he now suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and has lost his job. Attorney Bill Anzalone, who represents Polinchak in a civil action against Wickham, Wickham’s former employer Herbert’s Towing and AAA Mid-Atlantic, through whom Wickham was dispatched to assist Polinchak, said Friday a lawsuit is moving forward. “You can never repair a loss, but today, justice was obtained,” Anzalone said, noting the civil suit could likely reach a jury trial by next year. In the suit, Polinchak is requesting more than $50,000 in damages as a result of his wife’s death.

time people should not enter the building, which a city inspector recently said was “falling down from the inside out.” McLaughlin said debris is falling inside the building daily. “The fact that we are detouring traffic around the property is a pretty good indication that no one should approach that property, let alone enter it,” he said. “Stepping foot inside, not to mention climbing to the top, is

extraordinarily dangerous. The public should respect the orders of the city officials to steer clear of the condemned property.” Shiner, a consistent presence at county meetings, said he knows the building and it’s not safe. “The stairs are dangerous, the floors are dangerous and the roof is dangerous,” he said. “My concern is to get something done; it’s a dangerous situation.”

worked out.” But without subsequent votes being taken that specifically restore funding for depots or arsenals, once the fiscal year 2013 defense budget takes effect March 28, the issue of funding shortages could arise anew. Since voting for the original $606 billion defense bill in July, Marino and Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, have been attacked by their Democrat opponents in the November election. Both Phil Scollo, from Dingman Township, Pike County, who faces Marino, and Gene Stilp, of Middle Paxton Township, Dauphin County, who faces Barletta, have used the vote as a campaign issue. Scollo has issued press releases and home mailers focusing on Marino’s vote and its potential impact on Tobyhanna. From the outset Marino and Barletta said the Tobyhanna cuts were an oversight and it would

POLICE BLOTTER HANOVER TWP. – Township police arrested Herbert Lee Robinson Jr., 21, of Philadelphia, on charges he provided a stolen gun that was used in a deadly shooting at Hanover Village in May 2011. Robinson was arraigned Thursday by District Judge Joseph Halesey on charges of receiving stolen property. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. Police allege Robinson gave

be addressed before any cuts would occur at Tobyhanna or other military depots. Marino chided Scollo for making the livelihood of thousands fodder for an election campaign. “I think it’s terrible and an abomination that there are some politicians out there that would use the individuals at Tobyhanna to promote their political agenda. It’s unfortunate these individuals are exploited,” he said. He said he visited Tobyhanna two weeks ago and assured those he met with that “they have my commitment that I will work as hard as I can to keep the funding going for Tobyhanna.” An emailed statement from Scollo lauded the short-term safety of jobs at Tobyhanna but took Marino to task for allowing the cloud of uncertainty to hang over the depot for months. “A month ago Marino said these cuts were ‘the right thing to do’ …. I’m glad he switched his vote to stop these jobs cuts, but it’s a disgrace that it took months of intense political pressure to get Marino on board,” Scollo said. “One has to wonder if he was honestly switching his

vote or simply caving to election year political pressure.” U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has been critical of the GOP House bill that passed in July that put Tobyhanna jobs at risk. His spokesman, John Rizzo, responded Friday with guarded optimism. “Sen. Casey is pleased that Tobyhanna is one step closer to having the resources it needs in the short term. Moving forward, Sen. Casey will continue to fight to ensure that Tobyhanna’s funds are not cut in fiscal year 2013. Tobyhanna is a major employer in Pennsylvania and a key part of our national security strategy, so it’s essential that the depot is funded appropriately.” Barletta agreed and said he will continue to push the importance of national defense and all military operations such as depots, with his House colleagues. “I don’t think anyone wants to see the government shut down,” Barletta said. “I remain committed to ensuring that Tobyhanna and all other military depots receive the funding they need to continue operations.” Stilp did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Robinson in turn gave the gun to another person, police said. Police said they learned the gun was stolen from a Mountain Top residence when James Cooper, 39, of Scranton, shot and killed Shana Bagley, 25, and shot Bagley’s husband, Brad Bagley, 26, and Thomas Harris in Hanover Village on May 20, 2011. Cooper then took his own life with the gun. Brad Bagley and Harris sur-

NANTICOKE -- Police charged Jill Marie Hess, 27, of West Hartford Street, Ashley, with assaulting her father, Jay Hess Jr., on Sept. 2, when he did not bring her children for a supervised visit. Her father instead provided her with a note advising her to call Luzerne County Children and Youth Services, according to the criminal complaint. Charges of simple assault and harassment were filed against Jill Hess with District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke.

2 Marines killed at air base

SYCAMORE, Ill. — A 72-year-old Seattle man was found guilty today of the kidnapping and murder of a 7-yearold Sycamore, Ill., girl, whose disappearance in 1957 captured the concern of Americans all the way up to President Dwight Eisenhower. Judge James Hallock found Jack McCullough guilty of killing Maria Ridulph, whose body was found months after she vanished while playing near her home in December 1957. A friend of Maria’s, Kathy Chapman, testified earlier this week that she and Maria were playing a game on a street corner when a walked up and introduced himself as Johnny. Moments later, the man gave Maria a piggyback ride. After several minutes, Chapman went

home briefly to retrieve her mittens, she said, but when she returned, Johnny and Maria were gone. McCullough, who was 17 at the time of the crime, went by the name John Tessier at

the time. McCullough was among a group of initial suspects, according to police, but his parents vouched for his whereabouts. His stepfather, Ralph Tessier, told FBI agents that his son was in Rockford, Ill., at an Air Force recruiting office when Maria was abducted. Shortly after her disappearance, McCullough left Sycamore to enter military service. After his discharge in the early 1960s, he briefly returned to town before departing again, eventually settling in Washington state. He changed his name to Jack McCullough and worked as a police officer, though his law enforcement career ended in the 1980s when he was accused of sexually abusing a teenage

runaway whom McCullough and his girlfriend had taken in. He eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Back in Sycamore, the Ridulph case languished until 2010, when a former girlfriend of McCullough’s came forward and cast doubt on his alibi. Police re-interviewed Chapman, who was shown a photo lineup and picked out an

old picture of McCullough. In July 2011, police arrested McCullough. As part of the re-opened investigation, police interviewed one of McCullough’s sisters, who reported that McCullough and two other men sexually assaulted her in 1962 in Sycamore when she was 14.

No review of Freeh report The head of Penn State’s Board of Trustees said Friday the board isn’t planning a detailed review of the school’s internal investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. Former FBI director and federal judge Louis Freeh led the school’s investigation. He and his team of investigators concluded that the late football coach Joe Paterno and three school officials concealed allegations against Sandusky that Paterno’s family and the officials deny. Trustees chairwoman Karen Peetz said the board is focused on implementing changes recommended by Freeh, which is hopes to do by the end of next year, but it did not plan a detailed review of the report itself. She said that would take its course in upcoming trials or other legal channels. AUSTIN, TEXAS

Japan to scrap nukes The Japanese government announced a dramatic turn in its energy policy Friday, vowing to make the densely populated island nation nuclear-free by the 2030s. Last year’s tsunami-triggered disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power complex forced evacuation of more than 160,000 and contaminated huge swaths of territory north of Tokyo. Before the accident, nuclear plants provided nearly a third of Japan’s power generation, and the government had planned to increase that proportion to more than half. In unveiling the new policy, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda acknowledged that the vast majority of Japanese support the zero option on nuclear power. The new blueprint calls for investing almost $500 billion in the next two decades to expand renewable sources like wind and solar power, the NHK broadcast network reported.

New budget cuts could hurt military

The cuts, combined with the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, have been dubbed the “fiscal cliff.” By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A new White House report issued Friday warns that $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts at the start of the new year would be “deeply destructive” to the military and core government responsibilities like patrolling U.S. borders and air traffic control. The report says the automatic cuts, mandated by the failure of last year’s congressional deficit “supercommittee” to strike a budget deal, would require an across-the-board cut of 9 percent to most Pentagon programs and an 8 percent cut in many domestic programs. The process of automatic cuts is called sequestration, and the administration has no flexibility

in how to distribute the cuts, other than to exempt military personnel and war-fighting accounts. “Sequestration would be deeply destructive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions,” the report says. The cuts, combined with the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts at the end of the year, have been dubbed the “fiscal cliff.” Economists warn that the one-two punch could drive the economy back into recession. The across-the-board cuts were devised as part of last summer’s budget and debt deal between President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans. They were intended to drive the supercommittee — evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans — to strike a compromise. But the panel deadlocked and the warring combatants have spent more time since then blaming each other for the looming cuts than seeking ways to avoid them. The White House report continues in

that vein, blasting House Republicans for an approach to avoiding the sequester that relies on further cuts to domestic programs while protecting upper-bracket taxpayers from higher rates proposed by the president. In advance of the report’s release, White House press secretary Jay Carney went on the offensive, blasting “the adamant refusal of Republicans to accept the fundamental principle that we ought to deal with our fiscal challenges in a balanced way.” In advance of the election, rival Democratic and GOP sides are dug in, unwilling to make the required compromises and unable to trust the other side. It’s commonly assumed that there will be more serious efforts to forestall the cuts in a postelection lame duck session, though it may only be for a short time, to give the next Congress and whoever occupies the White House a chance to work out a longer-term solution.

Penn State Creamery recalls frozen products

Consumers have reported finding small pieces of plastic in the ice cream purchased there since May. Centre Daily Times

UNIVERSITY PARK – Penn State’s Creamery has voluntarily recalled all of its ice cream and frozen yogurt products manufactured between May 16 and Aug. 11 over concerns that small plastic pieces might be contained in it, according to a university press release Friday. Consumers have reported finding small pieces of plastic in the ice cream purchased at the Berkey Creamery beginning in May. One person claimed to have found a penny in a half gallon. That

led to a university police criminal investigation beginning in August. No one has been injured or made ill, according to the university. The university said it was “erring on the side of caution and safety for the consuming public” in its voluntary recall, according to the release. Consumers who purchased the recalled ice cream can return it for a full refund or exchange. “The safety of the public is our No. 1 concern,” Tom Palchak, Creamery manager, said in the statement. “Although by all accounts these appear to be isolated incidents, they are troubling to say the least. “We have a long-standing reputation for safety at the Creamery and a product

that consumers trust. We are erring on the side of caution with this recall and in taking the actions we are taking to prevent any recurrence.” An independent probe found that the plastic pieces did not get into the products during manufacturing, according to the release. Additional safeguards have been instituted, which include: Limiting access to production and packaging areas; increased surveillance systems; purchase of an X-ray device and metal detectors; and notification of ingredient suppliers, according to the university. Tamper-resistent packaging also will be implemented soon. Consumers with questions are urged to call the Creamery at (855) 677-0464.

CHICAGO — The city’s nearly weeklong teachers strike appeared headed toward a resolution Friday after negotiators emerged from marathon talks to say they had achieved a “framework” that could end the walkout in time for students to return to class Monday. Both sides were careful not to describe the deal as a final contract. They expected to spend the weekend working out details before union delegates are asked to vote on the package, probably sometime Sunday. Chicago School Board David Vitale said the “heavy lifting” was over after long hours of talks placed “frameworks around all the major issues.” The school district and union negotiators “put things on the table over the last few days to help each other” and put schools on track to reopen next week, Vitale said. “Our kids are going to get the time they need in this school year, and they’re going to get the time they need in the school day. And our teachers are going to get the respect they deserve for their hard work with our kids,” he added. Robert Bloch, an attorney for the Chicago Teachers Union, said union leaders updated delegates on the progress at a meeting Friday afternoon. “It’s been a very difficult agreement,” Bloch said. “This has been one of the most difficult labor contracts negotiated in decades. Many of the core issues of the contract have been worked out, but not all of them.” About 15 minutes after union President Karen Lewis entered the delegate meeting, delegates could be seen through the windows cheering and applauding, some on them on their feet and pumping their fists in the air. Journalists were not allowed inside, and there was no way to know what they were applauding. The walkout, the first by Chicago teachers in 25 years, canceled five days of school for more than 350,000 public school students who had just returned from summer vacation. The union’s demands included a plan for laid-off instructors to get first dibs on job openings and for a teacher-evaluation system that does not rely heavily on student test scores. The strike by more than 25,000 teachers in the nation’s thirdlargest school district idled many children and teenagers, leaving some unsupervised in gang-dominated neighborhoods.

Salavantis said state law and supporting case law put district attorneys in charge of personnel actions in their offices. “I am the only one permitted to hire, fire and supervise in the office,” she said. Legislators gave the authority to district attorneys largely because of the confidential and in-

vestigatory work handled by their offices, she said. Salavantis hired Stephen M. Lentz, at a union-mandatSalavantis ed salary of $40,000, to fill a position vacated by Albert Yacoub. Salavantis said she’s still down five employees compared to the prior year, and the administration permitted her to fill the opening because the salary was included in her 2012 budget. “I’ve had several meetings with the manager and budget/ finance director to make sure my budget is in line,” she said. “I have to fill this position. We’re close to breaking the homicide record this year.” The county’s personnel code involves the county human re-

sources department in the hiring process and requires the development of “knowledge, skills and abilities,” or KSAs, for the rating and ranking of all applicants. Public job advertisements listing the KSAs are mandated, and applicants must indicate whether they meet these requirements to be considered. The human resources department receives and time-stamps all applications and handles the initial screening. The department then works with the applicable hiring manager to develop an examination process, and both rate and rank the applicants. Salavantis said she didn’t publicly advertise the opening because she already had about 100 resumes on file. “I went through many resumes,” she said.

Quarry permit request research disputed But George Asimos, counsel Another session in hearing on pumping by on-site water supfor Pennsy Supply, answered plies.” Pennsy Supply’s plan is set for Hershey was retained by the that Caranfa was referring to Sept. 25. supervisors to assess data sub- himself in generic terms when By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP. – Commentary at Thursday night’s hearing on a conditional use permit for a relocated quarry operation was not positive for Pennsy Supply Corp.’s quest for a permit to expand surfacing mining to the south side of Small Mountain Road. A written report by Robert Hershey, a hydrogeologist affiliated with Meiser & Earl Inc. of State College, submitted to the board concluded there is “insufficient data to assess the full impact of the quarry on wetlands, Balliet Run and off-site impact of

mitted by a Pennsy official in filing for the permit. Hershey also stated water drawdown at the quarry “could extend to Balliet Run, potentially impacting the flow of the stream.” He was critical of the research findings of Hydro-Geo Services and its vice president, Rich Caranfa. Township resident Scott Novatnick said an inquiry he conducted revealed Caranfa is not a registered engineer with the Pennsylvania Department of State and, moreover, Caranfa may have violated Act 367 by misrepresenting himself as a professional engineer. Novatnick also said Caranfa’s testimony at a hearing on Aug. 8, may not be credible.

Hearing set on quarry rules

Several register complaints about Wilkes-Barre Materials quarry in Keystone section. By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

PLAINS TWP. – The township commissioners again heard several complaints about operations at the Wilkes-Barre Materials rock quarry in the Keystone section during Thursday night’s regular commissioners meeting. Toward the end of the meeting, Chairman Ron Filippini announced a public hearing would be held Oct. 8 to amend the township’s ordinance that pertains to quarry’s hours of operations. Although common complaints include property damage and excess amounts of dust and debris resulting from dynamite blasting, the most common issue has been with the truck traffic on Ridgeway Road and the other streets in the area of the quarry. Resident complaints about the quarry have become common at

A public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m. and the next regular commissioners meeting is on Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

the township meetings. The commissioners, for their part, have done what they could to address them. Police have tried speed traps, using cooperative residents’ property to observe traffic patterns and cite speeding drivers. Beyond that, however, the board has been able to do little to affect the quarry operations. After receiving reports that equipment was being overused to the extent it was becoming harmful to residents in the area, the board brought in the state Department of Environmental Protection to run tests. Results showed Wilkes-Barre Materials met the state standards for clean air. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Transportation Department rejected the township’s attempts to reduce speed limits and erect

stop signs on Ridgeway Road, as it is technically a state road. In amending the ordinance pertaining to the quarry, township officials hope they can at least restrict the permissible hours of operation so that at least some of the resident complaints can be addressed. In addition to complaints that speeding trucks were a safety hazard to the children and elderly residents in the area, many feel the 5 a.m. start time of operations is far too early and is impeding the overall quality of life. In other matters, Commissioner Jerry Yozwiak said the electronic waste item recycling container would soon again be available for residential usage. The container became a regular option for residents looking to dispose of unneeded computers, televisions, cellular phones and microwaves, among other objects at the onset of the summer. Yozwiak described the e-waste recycling program as a great convenience for the township and noted that it is regularly filled.

he said he serves as a CEO and project engineer for Aikens Engineering of Shiremanstown, Pa. Asimos said that while Caranfa is not a registered engineer, he still has experience in geology and engineering work. In general, Hershey said, the findings filed by HydroGeo are not extensive enough to conclude that proposed water usages estimates by Pennsy will support its proposals for a surface mining operation. Responding to Hershey, Asimos asked for another session to offer a rebuttal. It was scheduled on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the municipal building.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “The Fed is … pushing the accelerator down to the floorboard.” David Jones The chief economist at Denver-based DMJ Advisors described The Federal Reserve’s latest strategy, announced Thursday, to propel the U.S. economy out of its slump. The plan, which Jones and others believe will have a nominal impact, calls for spending $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds and keeping short-term interest rates low to make it cheaper for people to borrow.

OTHER OPINION: CREDIT RATING

Moody’s message: Reckoning is near

N CASE ANYONE had forgotten, Moody’s Investors Service issued a stark reminder Tuesday that the federal government is speeding headlong toward a political and financial cliff. On Jan. 1, a number of temporary tax cuts are due to expire just as new spending restraints kick in, pulling hundreds of billions of dollars out of the U.S. economy and potentially triggering another recession. At the same time, Washington is expected to reach the limit of its borrowing authority, necessitating another increase in its debt limit. If lawmakers and the White House can’t reach a budget deal that effectively manages those problems, Moody’s said, it expects to downgrade the federal government’s credit rating. That might seem unduly pessimistic if so many congressional Republicans hadn’t EDITORIAL BOARD

called for the government to stiff its creditors last year instead of raising the debt ceiling. Considering the sorry state of other governments’ finances, even downgraded U.S. debt is likely to remain attractive to investors in search of a safe harbor. But once the global economy improves, the ratings downgrade could force the Treasury to pay higher interest rates, which would only make it harder for the federal government to close its budget gap. We shouldn’t have to reach that point. The message from the analysts at Moody’s and S&P is that lawmakers can’t keep putting off the day of reckoning. Moody’s set a reasonable condition for avoiding a downgrade: adopting policies that stabilize, then reduce the debt as a percentage of the U.S. economy over the next several years. Los Angeles Times

Men, take control of your health today or pay price later DID YOU know that many of the most common threats to men’s health can be avoided through lifestyle choices? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men tend to be less involved in their own health than women. As a result, heart disease, cancer, accidents, respiratory infection, stroke, type II diabetes, and suicide account for about 70 percent of the most common health threats to men. The good news is there are ways to reduce the likelihood of these events. • Regular physician visits Staying healthy is connected to making the right choices. All men should visit their primary care physician at least once a year. Your personal physician knows your medical history and is in the best position to offer advice. Typically, a physician will recommend regular screenings for cholesterol levels, blood pressure, triglycerides, blood sugar and body mass index. When kept in check, these indicators greatly reduce the chances for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and other problems. Regular physician exams also might reveal other possible warning signs, such as unusual moles or lumps that might be precursors to cancer. Your physician also will check your heart and lungs. Remember that a visit with your physician is the time to talk about your health concerns. Be open and honest about any aches or pains. Discuss any changes you’ve noticed in your health, such as sudden weight gain or

MAIL BAG

DR. JOHN VITERITTI loss, balance problems, sudden headaches or appetite changes. Also talk to your physician about anxiety or depression. Men typically try to hide emotional distress, but depression and anxiety are medical conditions that can be treated with medications, counseling or a combination of both. • Physical fitness Being physically active plays a significant role in maintaining men’s health. Regular physical activity helps control weight, strengthens muscle and bones, improves balance, coordination and cardiovascular health, and reduces the risk of stroke, heart disease and cancer. Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference. Try taking the stairs instead of an elevator. Walking for 30 minutes four times a week can have a positive impact on your health. Even greater health benefits can be drawn from more intense exercise such as jogging, swimming, biking, weight training and organized sports. Talk to your physician about starting an exercise program and get moving. • Eating healthy It’s no secret that eating right makes you healthier. Many men tend to reach for fastfood items because it’s convenient, quick and easy. But frequent fast-food meals take their toll by adding weight and increasing choles-

terol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Eating a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbohydrates and other healthy foods can help to keep your weight in check and improve overall health. In addition, many physicians recommend one to two alcoholic beverages per day, provided that there is no history of alcohol abuse and that the alcohol isn’t taken with certain prescribed medications. Studies show that moderate alcohol intake can reduce blood pressure and decrease the risk of stroke and heart disease. • Precautions Finally, staying healthy involves taking precautionary measures. Ask your doctor which vaccines are appropriate for you, and make sure you get a flu vaccine each year. In addition, be sure you have routine screenings for prostate, colon and skin cancers. Cancer is most treatable when it’s detected early. Men can learn to live longer and healthier lives by taking an active role in their own wellness. For free information on how to take control of your lifestyle choices, check out the Health and Wellness tab on the Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s website, www.bcnepa.com.

occurrence. Leighton said the loitering caused his office to be “flooded” with complaints. Police Chief Gerard Dessoye credited patrol officers with initiating Operation Square Deal and praised the Hawkeye Security Surveillance cameras in recording alleged hand-to-hand drug and money transactions. “What was unique about this investigation, it wasn’t an investigation that was started by my senior drug investigators,” Dessoye said. “This was a patrol-initiated investigation.” “Officers of the Wilkes-Barre Police Department put in a lot of hard work on this, especially from the patrol division,” said police Sgt. Matt Stash, head of the city’s VIPER unit. “A few aggressive patrol officers took the time to stop and identify these suspects.

employee. In July she sent him an email, copied to county council members, about his “unwarranted negative attitude.” She said he visited the office when she and the deputy were out and said loud enough for customers and employee to hear, “I’m glad to see the office runs on its own.” Lawton planned to keep Medico Olenginski, at least initially, because he wanted her to contribute since she was guaranteed her annual $36,562 salary until her elected term expires at the end of 2013. Medico Olenginski resisted suggestions from home rule supporters to relinquish the job and pay shortly before home rule was implemented in January, saying she was elected to run the civil records office and is willing to continue that assignment. She hasn’t changed that stance. New assignment given Lawton and Medico Olengin-

suspected drug dealers at about 7 a.m. targeting 14 properties in Wilkes-Barre, and one each in Edwardsville, Kingston and Hanover Township. Stash said drug sales at Public Square and East Market Street took place within a school zone, noting Wilkes-Barre Area’s Coughlin High School is less than 1,000 feet from the corner. The area is also within eyesight of police headquarters. A person convicted of selling illegal drugs in a school zone faces at least a two-year state prison sentence, according to the state crimes code. “Sgt. Stash and his two officers assisted by several aggressive patrol officers who were sick of seeing this in (Public) Square put this together,” Dessoye said. “Most of these officers had contact with most of these individuals at one time or another and said, ‘This isn’t doing anything, arresting one today, one tomorrow or another next week.’ We needed to put this together in a concentrated operation and we needed a clean sweep, to purge the drug dealers off the Square.” ski appeared to reach a truce during last month’s department head meeting, when he told managers she would be spearheading an important examination of county documents and technology to reduce paper and increase public access to information. Medico Olenginski’s deputy, Art Bobbouine, was assigned to address a record processing backlog in the clerk of courts office, which handles criminal court records. Home rule requires the civil and criminal court offices to merge for efficiency. When Bobbouine started pulling staff from civil courts to help with the criminal backlog and making other decisions without her, Medico Olenginski complained that Lawton never told her she was no longer in charge of the office when she took the special assignment. “He can do whatever he pleases, but if he had any integrity he would have been honest with me and told me that he didn’t want me in charge,” she said Friday while cleaning out her office. “How do you go behind somebody’s back and plot to take their authority away?”

Obama eulogizes 4 Americans Ceremony honors those killed in suspected terrorist attack on overseas diplomatic post. By NEDRA PICKLER and JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On a day mixing somber ceremony with campaign clamor, President Barack Obama on Friday eulogized four Americans killed in a suspected terrorist attack on a diplomatic post overseas while Republicans pledged a tougher foreign policy to confront U.S. enemies. “They didn’t simply embrace the American ideal. They lived it,” Obama said of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others who died when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was overrun this week. Four flag-draped containers holding the remains rested nearby, attended by Marines as the president vowed, “We will bring to justice those who took them from us.” Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan also paid tribute to Stevens and fellow Americans Sean Smith, Glen A. Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods. But their text for the day added disapproval of an American foreign policy that they said lacked resolve. With Romney facing criticism from some quarters that he had fumbled the issue earlier in the week, Ryan spoke the sharpest words. Pointing to recent events throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa, he said, “We know who America is dealing with in these attacks. They are extremists who operate by violence and intimidation. ....Amid all these threats and dangers, what we do not see is steady, consistent American leadership.” The day’s events unfolded a little more than seven weeks before Election Day, and as a spate of national and battleground-state polls pointed to

around the region has been in reaction to a video that Muslims -- many Muslims – find offensive,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters in Washington. “And while the violence is reprehensible and unjustified, it is not a reaction to the 9/11 anniversary that we know of or to U.S. policy.” “The U.S. government has nothing to do with this video," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland emphasized during a briefing for reporters. The worst violence Friday came in Tunisia, where last year’s Arab Spring began with the toppling of President Zine

modest gains for the president following the two parties’ political conventions. Both campaigns say they expect the race to be decided by eight or nine states where neither man at this point has a decisive advantage. Obama set a campaign trip next week to Wisconsin, Ryan’s home state and one that Romney is working to turn competitive. The president won handily in 2008, but it still faces unemployment of 7.3 percent, a

little below the national average in a slow-to-recover national economy Like all presidents since the dawn of the television age, Obama is often at the center of moments of national mourning, and he readily assumed the role of consoler-in-chief for families of the four slain Americans. The ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base had little precedent — White House aides pointed to only one other like it, in 1998 — and when it was over, the bodies were taken to Dover Air Force Base where most of those killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been flown. The ceremony had all the sad pomp that could be mustered. Each transfer case was carried off the plane by seven Marines as Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta watched silently. Two of Clinton’s Republican predecessors,

Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, also attended in a bipartisan show of respect for the dead and their survivors. Moments after the ceremony ended, Romney told a campaign audience in Painesville, Ohio, that he had delayed his speech to watch on television. He led the crowd in a moment of silence “in recognition of the bloodshed for freedom.” Earlier in the day, at a fundraiser in New York, he accused Obama of failing to schedule a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due in the United States later this month. He called it an “extraordinarily confusing and troubling decision” and added, “There have been over the years, confusing messages sent by the president of the United States to the world.” The White House has denied reports that Obama decided not to hold a meeting with the Israeli leader.

El Abidine Ben Ali, and in Sudan, where, in contrast, Arab Spring protests against the government of President Omar Bashir fizzled rapidly. In Tunis, Tunisia’s capital, protesters made it inside the U.S. Embassy compound, despite local police use of tear gas and live ammunition to hold them at bay. They set parts of the compound on fire, raised an Islamist flag, smashed windows, and looted computers, phones and other equipment from embassy structures. They then set fire to the American School next door, sending huge plumes of dark smoke over the city, before local police succeeded in pushing them from the compound’s outer perimeter and back into the street. According to the Tunisian News Agency, two demonstra-

tors were killed and 29 people were injured, including an unknown number of police officers. Nuland said security forces in Tunis were prepared for a protest, but not the intensity of violence. She said that when demonstrators made it through an exterior perimeter, Tunisia’s presidential guard was sent in and controlled the situation. A secure inner perimeter protected by American security was not breached, she said, and no Americans were injured. In Sudan, an estimated 5,000 protesters descended on the German Embassy in central Khartoum after Friday prayers, breaking in and setting part of the building on fire. Police used tear gas in an effort to break up the demonstration, but the protesters moved on to the nearby

British Embassy, where they threw rocks but were unable to enter the building. The protests continued at the fortress-like U.S. Embassy, which is outside the city center for security reasons. But there, Sudanese police who had been pre-positioned confronted the demonstrators with tear gas. Still, Nuland said, at least three protesters reached the top of an embassy complex wall before Sudanese security moved them back to the streets below. One embassy spokesman, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation, said some embassy property was damaged but added that reports of a "major breach" were inaccurate. Most U.S. employees were not in the embassy because Friday is not a work day in Sudan.

CAROLEE MEDICO OLENGINSKI County career highlights: November 1998: Republican Carolee Medico Olenginski is elected to the prothonotary post November 2001: Democrat Jill Moran unseats Medico Olenginski after a heated election battle. Moran spent $265,000 on the campaign, promising to end the “negativity.” November 2005: Moran and Medico Olenginski face off again, with Moran winning a second term. March 2009: Moran resigns as prothonotary as part of an agreement with federal prosecutors. November 2009: Medico Olenginski beats Nancy McGinley Bellas in the prothonotary race. November 2010: Voters approve a county home rule charter that eliminates the elected prothonotary post and all other row offices except the controller and district attorney. October 2011: Medico Olenginski refuses a request from home rule supporters to voluntarily leave the post and relinquish the pay. May 2012: Medico Olenginski loses a lawsuit attempting to restore the elected prothonotary post under home rule. December 2013: Medico Olenginski’s pay will stop at the end of the month because her elected term expires.

Lawton said in the dismissal letter, supplied by Medico Olenginski, that he tried several times to include Medico Olenginski in plans to reduce the criminal court backlog and office consolidation. “Your communications on the matter since then, however, give me no reason to believe that you are fully committed to contributing to a solution on terms other than your own,” he wrote, emphasizing the voters “spoke in

overwhelming fashion” for a home rule government that includes a unified Division of Judicial Services and Records. Lawton’s statement Lawton echoed that sentiment in his only public statement on the matter Friday. “I believe Ms. Medico Olenginski served the public faithfully under the old government system. However, the organizational changes mandated by the

new charter require a unified vision and a collaborative approach,” he said. Medico Olenginski, who now openly describes Lawton as a “dictator,” said she challenged changes that would cause civil courts to develop a record backlog, especially since her name appeared on office documents. In her typically blunt style, she informed Lawton in a Sept. 7 email that civil court document processing was falling behind because workers were focusing on criminal court: “Because of the irresponsible demands being placed on my employees by Mr. Bobbouine we are on our way to becoming as dysfunctional as the Clerk of Courts. It is disappointing after all our hard work that our productivity and efficiency is being compromised due to poor management skills outside my office,” she wrote. Medico Olenginski said Friday Lawton is unfairly painting her as working against the implementation of home rule. “I asked the manager months ago to let me straighten out that office down the hall,” she said, referring to clerk of courts. “Is that being resistant?”

POLICE BLOTTER HAZLETON – A city man was arrested after he allegedly pummeled a senior citizen in the face. City police responded to a reported assault near West Broad and North Locust streets just after noon on Thursday and found 69-year-old Jose PerezCabrera, who witnesses reported had been struck in the face multiple times moments earlier. Perez-Cabrera was taken to Hazleton General Hospital for evaluation and treatment of facial injuries. A short time later, officers took Nikolas DeMarco, 36, of Alter Street, into custody in the area of West Oak Street and Linden Court, police said. During the course of the arrest, DeMarco threatened the lives of five city police officers, police said. DeMarco was charged with one count each of simple assault and harassment and five counts of terroristic threats. He was arraigned before District Judge Daniel O’Donnell and committed to the county prison for lack of $100,000 bail.

Dawgs bite Dallas UInbeaten Berwick scores seven touchdowns to thump Mountaineers. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

BERWICK – Berwick wanted to extract a little revenge for a lopsided loss last season to Dallas. Well, mission accomplished. The Bulldogs reached the end zone seven times in a 50-14 thumping of the Mountaineers at Crispin Field on Friday night. “Last year (a 53-20 loss) was a blowout and we needed redemption,” said Berwick running back Matt Cashman, who ran for 104 yards and three touchdowns. “We wanted to come out and punch them in the mouth. They did get those two big plays, but we punched them right back.” Quarterback C.J. Curry threw for 208 yards in the first half, including touchdowns of 51 and 54 yards to Jake Pecorelli. Pecorelli was wide open on a post pattern behind the Dallas secondary in the first quarter to give Berwick a 15-0 lead. In the second quarter, he ran a deep crossing pattern that looked like it would deliver a first down, but then slipped a tackle and raced toward the end zone. Pecorelli finished with four receptions for 114 yards and returned an interception right before halftime 43 yards. “Jake is just a great athlete,” C.J. Curry said. “He’s my primary target ... he’s a great receiver. You can’t outhrow Jake and you can’t

Rollins’ homer keyed a fourrun first inning on a night when the Phillies came one run shy of a season high. A two-run homer by Matt Downs got Houston within 5-3

in the fourth. Mayberry’s tworun single in the fifth stretched the lead to 7-3. Justin Maxwell added a solo shot in the fifth for the last-place Astros. Cole Hamels (15-6) gave up four runs and seven hits over seven innings, and tied a career See POWER, Page 7B

The Penguins have put seven players on waivers to make it possibleforthemtoplayintheAmerican Hockey League if, as expected, the NHL is shut down by a labor dispute. ForwardsPhilippeDupuis,Benn Ferriero, Riley Holzapfel, Warren Peters and Trevor Smith, along with defensemen Dylan Reese and Alex Grant, were assigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at midday on Friday. All are long-shots to open the season on the major-league roster, assuming there is a season. The league and its Players’ Association have yet to forge a collective bargaining agreement to replace the one set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the players who were waived, the Penguins are trying to negotiate contracts that would allow some other players, left winger Eric Tangradi among them, to join their farm team in Wilkes-Barre while the NHL is idle. Noon was the deadline for waiving players in order to have them clear before the CBA expires.

LACKAWANNA TRAIL VS. MEYERS

Lions running game too much to handle for Meyers

Trail racked up 241 yards on the ground while holding Meyers to just 251 total yards. By JOHN GORDON jgordon@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The gameplan was simple. Lackawanna Trail coach, Steve Jervis, wanted his team to control the line of scrimmage and play fast up front against Meyers. The Lions did just that after overcoming a series of early penalties and a 7-0 deficit to beat the Mohawks 35-13 at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. Trail outgained Meyers 428

to 251 in total offensive yards behind a steady balance of passing and a brutal smash-mouth run game. “We did a great job executing the offense against a good Meyers team tonight,” Jervis said. “We do need to focus on a few things, like penalties, and stop shooting ourselves in the feet.” The feet of the Lion running backs were in full motion combining for 241 yards on the ground. Senior running back Jeremy Greenley led all rushers with 142 yards on 12 carries and a pair of touchdowns. “We try to make it hard for

teams to key on any one player,” said Jervis. “We have a group of fast and talented backs and receivers.” The receivers were on display moments after Parrish Bennett’s 11-yard scoring run had Meyers staked to a 7-0 lead. Greenley snagged a pass down the middle of the field over a sprawling Mohawk defender and raced 68 yards down to the 8-yard line. Two plays later Jonathon Zedar plowed into the end zone to tie the game at 7. Meyers could not move the ball on its next series and a bad snap over the punter’s head lead to a 1-yard scoring burst by Lion quar-

terback Zack Goodrich on the very next play. Trail now led 13-7 after a missed extra point. The second quarter saw Lackawanna continue its dominance on the ground. Greenley rumbled over Mohawk defenders for 98 of his rushing yards and recorded both of his scores in the stanza, including a twisting and winding 51-yard jaunt to pay dirt that put the Lions up 19-7. His 11-yard touchdown and another 1-yard sneak by Goodrich had the Lions cruising at halftime by a 32-7 margin. Meyers did have a shining moment in the third quarter when Bennett scrambled for 32 yards,

S C R A N T O N V S . W YO M I N G VA L L E Y W E S T

but the offense could not muster up much after that on the ground. Bennett finished the contest with 100 yards on 20 carries. The Mohawks relied on a beautifully thrown 49-yard strike to Matt DeMarco from Teaguen Labatch to cut the lead to 32-13. Trail closed out the scoring with a Pete Murazzi 34-yard field goal to make it 35-13.

Quality plays doom WVW

By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – Midway through the second quarter and Scranton’s offense had run just 11 plays. This, though, was a case of quality over quantity as Wyoming Valley West found out Friday night. Three of those Scranton plays resulted in TD runs of 80, 63 and 56 yards by sophomore running back Jake McCarthy as the Knights put another serious earlyseason dent into the Spartans’ postseason hopes with a 34-14 victory. McCarthy finished with 276 yards on 18 carries. He later tacked on touchdown runs of 14 and 5 yards in the second half as Scranton improved to 3-0. More-

over, the Knights along with Delaware Valley (3-0) distanced themselves even more from Valley West (1-2) for the two District 2/4 playoff berths in the District 2/4-11 Class 4A tournament. DelVal increased its state points total to 320 and Scranton to 290. Valley West is third with 80. “As far as postseason is concerned, we’re looking up right now,” said Valley West coach Pat Keating, whose team lost to DelVal last Friday. “With only two spots ahead of us, we can’t trip up here on our way forward. Hopefully, those guys can slip up at some point in time.” Scranton’s offense did slip up on occasion Friday night. McCarthy had a 73-yard touchdown pass called back by a penalty – a nifty catch, slash and run that made one Scranton assistant coach yell, “Where’s he going?” when he cut back inside. The Knights also had two other scores negated by pe-

HAZLETON- Just two days ago, Delaware Valley quarterback Bryan Schor committed to play his college football at Miami of Ohio. Friday night, he looked every part of a Division I quarterback. Schor torched the Hazleton Area secondary for 251 yards and four touchdown passes while completing 12 of 13 attempts, as the Warriors rolled to a 49-12 victory. "I don’t think any of our kids quit," Hazleton Area coach Jim Drumheller said. "I was worried about Schor and what he could do back there. When you have a passing attack like this in high school, it just does a number on you. When teams are driving the ball on you, you kind of feel defenseless. (Schor) has some weapons out there. They’re clicking, and they made some big plays." Drumheller’s concerns about the Delaware Valley aerial attack were well-founded. The Warriors scored on each of their first five possessions and moved the ball at will against an outmatched Cougar defense. Schor and his offense needed just 20 snaps to put 35 points on the board. The senior threw touchdown passes to four different wide receivers. The Warriors’ only blemish was a missed 37yard field goal on the final play of the first half. Delaware Valley (3-0) got on the scoreboard early when Joe Santiago crossed the goal-line on a 4-yard run. Just over three minutes later, Schor would deliver a perfect pass to Eric Pizarro, hitting him in stride on a 42-yard touchdown pass. Ryan McGowan would push the lead to 21-0 when he scored on a 1-yard run. Schor would connect with Lucas Markowitz and McGowan on touchdown passes of 38 and 14 yards respectively in the second quarter. He would cap off his big night by delivering another strike to Nick McIntyre, who got behind the Hazleton Area secondary for a 48-yard touchdown pass before being taken out early

in the third quarter. "It’s pretty much what he’s been doing the whole season for us, regardless of who we’re playing," Delaware Valley coach Keith Olsommer said of Schor. "He’s playing like a four-year starter should play. He’s a talented kid who is living up to some of those expectations. The guys on the outside are doing a heck of a job going and getting the ball." Hazleton Area (0-3) did find a silver lining to an otherwise dreary night in the third quarter. Nick George’s 13-yard touchdown run gave the Cougars their first points of the season against Delaware Valley’s second-team defense. George was a bright spot, rushing for 88 yards on 14 carries. "I thought it was very important for team morale," Drumheller said of the touchdown. "Nick George just had a big game for us running the ball. What we’re trying to do at that point is just get a confidence booster and get the morale up on this football team." The teams exchanged touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Hazleton Area’s Zach Zukoski would close out the game’s scoring, as he plunged into the end zone from 4-yards out midway through the final period.

LAKELAND VS. HANOVER AREA

Hawkeyes can’t slow down Chiefs offense, fall to 0-3 on the season Hanover Area’s Brian Belcher ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

HANOVER TWP. — Lakeland scored on five of its first six possessions and, after an early defensive hiccup, clamped down on Hanover Area for a 34-15 win Friday night at Memorial Football Stadium in a non-conference con-

test. Early on, the Chiefs looked to quarterback Kyle Kiehart to move the ball through the air. The senior signal-caller responded by going 5-for-6 for153 yards in the first half. His first of two touchdown passes to tight end Gavin O’Donnell came on a play-action pass from Hanover Area’s 9-yard line for a 13-0 lead just six seconds into the second quarter. “For most of the game, I thought we passed the ball pretty well,” Lakeland coach Jeff Wasilchak said.

“Hanover’s looked a little banged up to me after their first two games, but give them credit for playing hard tonight and sticking with it.” Hanover Area’s effort looked considerably further along than it has the past two weeks, though Lakeland (2-1) still presented matchup problems throughout. While Hanover Area (0-3) contained things early on defense, Lakeland’s offensive line simply had too much size, opening up holes for scoring runs from Cody Gon-

SUSQUEHANNA VS. NANTICOKE

NANTICOKE – Many of the components that have been missing from the Nanticoke football program recently finally surfaced Friday. None of them seemed more apparent than the bruising defensive play the Trojans displayed Friday. Nanticoke shut out its opponent for the second consecutive week, keeping Susquehanna at bay in a 10-0 win. “Bend but not break; that’s all it came down to,” said Nanticoke coach Ron Bruza, whose Trojan squad shut out Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech 36-0 last week. “These kids wanted to get it on Homecoming. I didn’t think we’d get it this way. I didn’t think we were going to shut them out because Susquehanna is a great ball club.” The old adage that a great defense is a good offense proved true for Nanticoke. Defensive back Pat Hempel cut in front of a Sabers wide receiver to pick off a pass that set up the Trojans’ only touchdown drive. Nanticoke (2-1) drove the ball 23 yards, capped off by a 7-yard Maurice Wood rush that put the Trojans up 7-0 at the 4:37 mark in the second quarter. “We overcame (offensive struggles),” Bruza said. “We kept our pedal to the medal. Good things happen. Hard work pays off. We’re starting to get some of the breaks our way.” Nanticoke’s defense stopped Susquehanna (1-2) on each of its three red zone opportunities – including two key stops in the third quarter. Tyler Myers picked off an Austin White pass at the goal line. In the Sabers’ next possession, Brandon Meck recovered a fumble at the Nanticoke 12 yard line that proved to be Susquehanna’s last scoring opportunity. “Those are game changers right there,” Bruza said. “That’s what we’ve lacked the last couple of years. It breaks the team’s back, moves the ball a little bit.” The Trojans sacked White seven times for a loss of 36 yards. Giacoma Bova and Blake Balderramma each recorded two sacks. Nanticoke’s defense sacked White four times on the Sabers’ final possession of the game. “We started playing with some confidence that hasn’t been here,” Bruza said. “Susquehanna is a team that knows how to win, and we’re still trying to figure it out. "The kids did a hell of a job tonight.” Alec Norton kicked a 25-yard field goal to secure the win.

penalty moved the Black Knights (2-1) a yard closer for the 2-point try, and Jones crashed through the line for the winning conversion. Jones and the Knights’ relentless ground game wore down a stout Warriors defense, as Jones picked up 78 of his 135 yards in the second half. “Teams know we want to run. They put a lot of guys of guys in the box,” Gilsky said. “We said, ‘Screw it. We’re still running the ball.’” Wyoming Area had given up just 24 points over the first two games, and was pitching a shutout on the road through three quarters on Friday. Nick O’Brien threw a 36-yard touchdown to Cody Schmitz in the second quarter and ran one in himself from 20 yards out in the third. But Jones capped off a12-play drive with a 3-yard score with 10:40 to play to pull the Knights within 14-7. When the Warriors (1-2) snuffed out a Lehman drive by forcing an incompletion on fourth down with 1:49 to go, it

felt all but over. Lake-Lehman stayed alert. The Knights used their final timeout after a kneeldown, forcing the Warriors to call two tosses to O’Brien. But on the second one, he was quickly met in the backfield by Pete Borum and Brady Butler, jarring the ball loose. Lehman recovered on the Wyoming Area 40 and had 1:09 left to make something happen. “We had to run a couple extra plays,” Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. “We did everything we could. It wasn’t for a lack of effort. “We came in with a few guys (injured), so we had a few young guys in there playing some significant roles. But regardless of that, Lehman ran hard. Dustin ran hard. They did what they had to do. They shortened the game and limited what our big players could do. So hats off to them.” Hillman, who came into the game with three completions on the season, doubled that on the decisive drive. He found Butler right at the sticks on fourth-and-15 to keep his team alive. Then he connected with John Van Scoy for 20 yards down to the 10. After a spike to stop the clock, he threw the scoring

strike to Donovan to set up the win. “Bill, since the offseason, he’s been working at it, working at it – building confidence,” Gilsky said. “Every week he’s getting that confidence. And he did an outstanding job today. He kept in control, he looked for open guys, kept his shoulders square. “I’m proud of him. I’m proud of everyone. … I’m proud of our kids. I’m proud of Lake-Lehman.

Record-setting Devils cruise

Old Forge scored a school record 56 first-half points en route to victory. By DOM DELLOS For The Times Leader

OLD FORGE — Old Forge made the most out of its opportunities early on, rolling to a 56-7 rout of Holy Redeemer on Friday night in the Blue Devils’ home opener. Senior tailback Brian Tomasetti rushed for 213 yards on 10 carries, leading a ground attack that totaled 373 yards. Tomasetti set the tone for the Blue Devils by capping a seven-play opening drive with a 3-yard run less than two minutes into the game. Holy Redeemer was forced to punt on its next possession, but after the punt was fumbled by Old Forge, the Royals got the ball back in Blue Devils territory. The Old Forge defense tightened and Tony DeSanto sacked Holy Redeemer quarterback Jimmy Strickland on fourth down to give the ball back to the Blue Devils. That stop fueled the rout. On the first play following the sack, Blue Devils quarterback Brenden Wahl showed off his arm by slinging a 62-yard touchdown to Anthony Piccolini. That started a trend for the Blue Devils, who scored their next two touchdowns on their

very first play after getting the ball back in the first quarter. Tomasetti exploded up the middle untouched for a 63-yard touchdown run with 5:41 left, and after a Holy Redeemer fumble was recovered on the Royals 5yard line by Warren Welsh, Shane Schuback ran it in for the Blue Devils to put them up 27-0 with 3:34 to go in the first. Old Forge continued the onslaught early in the second quarter, as Tomasetti turned a fourth-and-inches on Old Forge’s 20-yard line to a 80 yard touchdown run, breaking free from tackles along the left sideline to give the Blue Devils a 35-0 lead. “It started off with the offensive line, every game they give me a great opportunity to get to the second level, and I just went from there,” Tomasetti said. Tomasetti contributed on the defensive side as well, snagging two Strickland passes out the air for interceptions, the second one which he returned 45 yards for a touchdown with 2:58 to go in the half. “Their quarterback is a heck of a player, but I made the right read when he tossed it my way and I was able to get it,” Strickland said. The Blue Devils took a 56-0 lead into halftime, setting a school record for points in a half. “Tomasetti is a special kid, no doubt about it,” Old Forge head coach Mike Schuback said. “He

can do everything offensively, defensively, and special teams wise. He’s a real big leader for us. As our featured tailback, we’re really happy with the amount of production he gets out of his carries.” Holy Redeemer’s lone score came on a 4-yard run by Eric Shorts in the fourth. Strickland passed for 95 yards while Eric Kerr added 109 yards of receiving on 11 catches for the Royals.

LAKE ARIEL – Nothing rattled Hunter Bednarcyzk. Not the situation. Not the pressure. Not even the old coaching trick where Western Wayne’s Butch Keller tried to ice him. Knotted at 28, the Coughlin kicker split the uprights from 25 yards out with 15 seconds left on the scoreboard as the team left Western Wayne with a 31-28 victory. Cool, calm and relaxed, Bednarcyzk lined up his steps with a rowdy crowd barking in the background. He’d been in the situation before, knocking down a game-winner against Stroudsburg in the past. “I just had to stay calm. It was a team effort; the snap, the hold and the kick. We just had to stay together,” he said. “I was looking at it like it was just another field goal.” It would have been easy for the Crusaders to fall apart. Coughlin (3-0) built a 28-7 lead in the second quarter behind four rushing touchdowns by tailback Zac Evans, who finished with more than 200 yards on the ground. But Western Wayne rallied – and star back Robbie Siclari knotted the game at 28 in the third quarter on a short run. Even some key turnovers at inopportune times didn’t rattle the Crusaders. The biggest was when Coughlin dropped the ball on the turf deep in its own territory early in the fourth. But the defense, like it has done all year, stepped up and stopped the Wildcats on a fourth-down try from the 32. It set up a time-consuming, game-winning drive. The series, which ate up almost the entire quarter and totaled 18 plays, challenged head coach Ciro Cinti. There was a fourth-and-5 from the Western Wayne 35 where he called a quarterback keeper and Tim Pilch got the first after taking a hard shot. Had it not been for a quick timeout Pilch called right before the officials threw a flag for delay of game, Cinti might have punted. Again, fourth-and-2, this time from the 19, and Cinti rolled the dice as Evans picked up the first on a 3-yard dive through the middle. Evans touched the ball 11 times in the 18-play series. “We had some big decisions on

fourth down, and we could have punted on the first fourth down,” the Coughlin coach said. “But I said the heck with it, we are going. This is destiny and here it is right in front of us. I had all the faith in Hunter. He’s a three-year kicker for us. He’s done this in the past. He’s a great kid.” Western Wayne (1-2) had no answer for Evans. The back ran for 142 yards alone in the first half, and scored on touchdown runs of 1, 5, 1 and 21 yards to give the Wilkes-Barre school a 28-7 lead early in the second quarter in a game looking like it was destined for the mercy rule. He finished with 215 yards on 37 carries. “They kept giving me the ball, and I kept getting the yardage for the team. It’s about the team and being a family,” Evans said. “It shows our heart and determination. We could have folded when we lost the lead. We play as a family and we have faith in each other.” Not lost was the performance of Wildcat back Siclari, who also rushed for more than 200 yards – including three runs for more than 40 yards. He ran for 160 yards in the first half, and finished with 218. “You saw two great backs there,” Keller said. “Last week, we were embarrassed and didn’t show heart. This week, we had character. We got a little upset at ourselves at halftime. We started to pick it up in the second quarter, gaining some yards on offense. We knew who was going to get the ball, and they did it. There was no quit on either side. It was a good game to watch. We gave them too many points in the first half because we made too many mistakes. We had a shot to win it. It was just one of those things.” Coughlin 31, Western Wayne 28 Coughlin................................... 14 14 0 3 — 31 Western Wayne...................... 7 13 8 0 — 28 First Quarter COU – Zac Evans 1 run (Hunter Bednarczyk kick), 7:16 WW – Jayson Figueroa 13 run (Frank Johasz kick), 3:53 COU – Evans 5 run (Bednarczyk kick), 1:50 Second Quarter COU – Evans 1 run (Bednarczyk kick), 11:12 COU – Evans 21 run (Bednarczyk kick), 9:48 WW – Figueroa 25 run (Johasz kick), 9:26 WW – Robbie Siclari 1 run (kick missed), 0:26 Third Quarter WW – Siclari 2 run (Siclari run), 8:06 Fourth Quarter COU – Bednarczyk 25 field goal, 0:15 Team Statistics Coughlin W.Wayne First downs ......................... 17 10 Rushes-yards..................... 57-335 43-276 Passing ............................... 32 8 Total Yards ......................... 367 284 Comp-Att-Int....................... 2-3-0 1-3-1 Sacked-Yards Lost............ 2-23 0-0 Punts-Avg. .......................... 1-36 2-27 Fumbles-Lost ..................... 3-2 2-1 Penalties-Yards ................. 4-40 1-5 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING – COU, Zac Evans 37-215, Tim Pilch 12-70, Paul Cole 6-34, Hunter Bednarczyk 2-16; WW, Robbie Siclari 29-218, Jayson Figueroa 7-73, Nikolai Pritcyk 4-12, Johnny Rhodes 3-(-27) PASSING – COU, Pilch 2-3-0, 32 yards; WW, Rhodes 1-3-1, 8 yards RECEIVING – COU, Corey Keen 2-37; WW, Siclari 1-8 INTS – COU, Keen MISSED FGS – None

Singles sweep lands U.S. on the ropes in Davis Cup By PAUL LOGOTHETIS AP Sports Writer

GIJON, Spain — Even without facing Rafael Nadal, the United States is on the brink of elimination by the clay-court masters from Spain. Sam Querrey and John Isner lost their opening singles matches Friday, giving the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the Davis Cup semifinals. David Ferrer put the hosts ahead in the best-of-five series with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 win over Querrey. Nicolas Almagro beat Isner 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 to leave Spain one point from its fourth final in five years. Almagro overcame 25 aces from Isner, who saved three match points before hitting a forehand long. The U.S. must win the doubles match Saturday to stay in the series, with brothers Mike and Bob Bryan facing Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez. The Bryan twins are 4-0 when the U.S. has faced a 2-0 deficit, and 5-0 against Spain.

Reverse singles are Sunday. Spain is playing without injured Rafael Nadal, and the U.S. is without Andy Roddick, who retired after the U.S. Open. The United States has only rallied back to win from a 0-2 deficit once in 38 series — in 1934 against Australia. Since the start of World Group play, Spain is 37-0 after winning both opening singles. The winner plays either Argentina or the Czech Republic in the final in November. Almagro and Ferrer are a combined 23-1 on clay. While Querrey wasted nine break opportunities in the fourth set of his match, Isner took advantage of his lone chance in the fourth to reach the deciding set. As the light quickly faded, neither player relented on serve. Isner fired another ace to save a 16th break point before committing three unforced errors in the final game. Isner had a 4-0 Davis Cup record this season, but he dropped to 0-3 in five-set Davis Cup matches.

GAR VS. CARBONDALE

GAR stops two-point try to preserve win Defense forces hurried throw as Carbondale elects to go for win with 15 seconds left. By JOE BARESS For the Times Leader

CARBONDALE – With 15 seconds remaining in the game, the GAR defense faced a Carbondale two-point conversion attempt that would ultimately decide the fate of the game. A loss would drop the Grenadiers to 0-3 on the season. GAR once again displayed its resilience when Jamaar Taylor came off the edge on a blitz, forcing Carbondale quarterback Joe Gigliotti to throw a desperation pass that fell to the turf. The incomplete pass secured the Grenadiers’ first win of the season 20-19. “This is a kid who started off as a safety for us and out of necessity we moved him to defensive end and he did a great job

being a chase end,” GAR coach Paul WiedlichJr. said. “I can’t say enough about him. He made a great play.” The Grenadiers squandered a few opportunities in the first half and faced a 13-0 deficit entering the third quarter. Carbondale received the ball at the start of the second half, but GAR halted the Chargers when the Grenadiers forced a fumble. Shakir Soto scooped it up and ran it into Carbondale territory. Despite the strong defensive effort, GAR came up empty on the drive. After the GAR defense forced a three-and-out, the Grenadiers put together their first scoring drive in eight quarters. Rich Sickler highlighted the drive with a 27-yard run that moved the Grenadiers into the red zone. Corey Moore capped off the drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Lucas Benton, who shook off a few tacklers to cut

the deficit to 13-7 with a minute remaining in the third quarter. On the ensuing possession, the GAR defense came up with another stop to give the Grenadiers a chance to take the lead. Behind the senior leadership of Benton, the Grenadiers would not be denied. “I wanted it bad,” Benton said. “I was sick and tired of losing so I had to come in for the team and just do what I had to do.” Moore completed a pass to Benton, who scampered 60 yards to the Carbondale 10-yard line. After leaving the game because of cramps, Benton came back for fourth down. Moore went right back to him on a fade route to the right corner of the end zone. Benton leaped up and hauled in the pass to give the Grenadiers a 14-13 lead. “That’s the Lucas Benton of old that we saw during his sophomore and junior year,” Wiedlich said. “He really stepped up and

showed a lot of moxie.” showed a ton of heart.” On the ensuing possession, GAR 20, Carbondale 19 GAR forced another fumble, GAR........................................ 0 0 7 13 — 20 6 7 0 6 — 19 which Soto again recovered.

NEW YORK — The NHL seemed headed for another lockout Friday as neither team owners nor players showed interest in getting back to contract negotiations a day before the old labor deal was set to expire. Brief conversations late Thursday and Friday between leaders on the two sides failed to spur more formal talks — in fact, the idea of restarting negotiations didn’t even come up. The current collective bargaining agreement that ended the season-long lockout in 2005 expires at midnight EDT on Saturday, and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said a lockout would kick in immediately if a new deal hasn’t been reached. “It’s their decision,” defenseman Mike Weaver, the Florida Panthers’ player representative said Friday. “When that padlock comes out, it’s pretty much Bettman’s decision on there.” The lockout would mark the NHL’s fourth work stoppage since 1992. On Thursday night, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly spoke to players’ association special counsel Steve Fehr, the brother of union executive director Donald Fehr. The discussions mostly dealt with answering questions each side have about current proposals. Bettman has said the season won’t start without a new deal. Preseason games are scheduled to start on Sept. 23, and the regular season is to begin on Oct. 11. On Friday, the Quebec labor relations board turned down a request from the players’ association for a temporary injunction against a potential lockout in Quebec. But the board also ruled Friday that more hearings are needed to make a final decision on a request by 16 members of the Montreal Canadiens and the players’ association to declare a lockout illegal in the province. No date was set for further hearings. With the ruling, Canadiens players will be locked out with their colleagues if a work stoppage goes ahead on schedule. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly was happy with the decision. “We are pleased but not surprised with the Quebec labor board’s ruling tonight that any lockout of players will be effective on a league-wide basis, including in Quebec, and we are extremely appreciative of the expeditious and decisive manner in which the matter was handled,” he said in a statement. “We are hopeful that this ruling will cause the players’ association to cease pursuing these needless distractions and instead focus all of its efforts and energies on making progress at the bargaining table.”

underthrow him, either. But we have a lot of good receivers out there who make big plays along with Jake.” Curry opened the scoring with a 23-yard bootleg around left end on the Bulldogs’ first drive. He had a spectacular half, throwing for 208 yards on 9-of-17 passing. He led four scoring drives as the Bulldogs went 5-of-7 on thirddown conversions in the half. Dallas refused to go away early. Trailing by 15, Kris Roccograndi found a lane over the left side and burst free for a 58-yard scoring run. After a Berwick score made it

21-7, quarterback Ryan Zapoticky connected on an 82-yard post pattern with Jason Simonovich to make it 21-14 with 4:25 left in the first half. “We made two mistakes,” Berwick coach George Curry said. “We got caught in a blitz on the touchdown run. And then the biggest kid on their team beats our defense. Other than those two plays, we played well.” Berwick (3-0) closed the door from there, scoring the final 29 points of the game. The Bulldogs finished with five sacks of Zapoticky and forced a number of hurries. Take away the two scoring plays and the Mountaineers (0-3) were limited to 89 yards on their remaining 50 snaps. Dallas was 2-of-13 on third downs, with one conversion being the Simonovich touchdown

(a third-and-23). “I expect to win, but lights out?” George Curry said of a 3-0 start with three one-sided wins. “Our line ... I’m surprised with how well they’ve played. And we’ve got playmakers. Cashman, Pecorelli, Jeff Steeber. Tonight, (Ian) Mazonkey came around tonight and made some nice catches.” John Bushinski returned a fumble 37 yards to put the Dawgs defense on the board in the third quarter. Adam Harrison was in on three of the Berwick sacks and Brandon Dalberto had a part in two of them. Jordan Stout and Travis Potter were also in on sacks for Berwick.

TUNKHANNOCK VS. MONTROSE

Tigers back in the win column, top Meteors Brian Beauchemin figured in on three touchdowns to earn a win on the road. By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

MONTROSE — The lure worked like a charm. First, Tunkhannock reeled the defense in with its running game. Then, without warning, the Tigers cast their fortunes deep. That combination hooked a 28-18 victory for Tunkhannock, as quarterback Brian Beauchemin threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, then watched the tiring Tigers fend off a Montrose comeback. “It feels pretty good,” said Beauchemin, who sparked just the second victory for Tunkhannock in two seasons. “We were

all up during practice. We came out here and we won. We played hard and we held it through to the end.” The beginning was most impressive for Tunkhannock. Featuring a three-pronged rushing attack as part of its Wing-T offense, the Tigers inexplicably broke from their norm of handing the ball off. Instead, Beauchemin turned to a play-action pass for the game’s first points, faking a running play before finding receiver Brett Strange all alone behind the Montrose defense for a 51yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. “Play-action worked really well for us,” Beauchemin said. It worked again. After Beauchemin scored on a 16-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, he pulled another fast one on the Meteors.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yankees pay the Price in loss The Associated Press

NEW YORK — David Price earned his league-leading 18th win with another superb performance against the New York Yankees, and the Tampa Bay Rays opened a key series against their AL East rival Friday night by taking advantage of a fading CC Sabathia and hanging on for a 6-4 victory. The Rays began the day four games behind division co-leaders Baltimore and New York. Out of the rotation since Sept. 2 because of a sore shoulder, Price (18-5) boosted his AL Cy Young Award credentials with seven innings of two-run ball. Striking out six and giving up five hits, the lanky lefty got a big lift from an inadvertent deflection off an umpire and a fine play by second baseman Elliot Johnson. Price improved to 7-3 against the Yankees. The Rays have won seven of the eight games he has matched up against Sabathia. With Price out of the game, Alex Rodriguez hit his 647th homer, a two-run shot off Joel Peralta in the eighth that sent him past Lou Gehrig for ninth place on the runs list with 1,889. White Sox 6, Twins 0

MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Sale threw six scoreless innings for his 17th victory after being rained out the night before, helping Chicago keep its onegame lead over Detroit in the AL Central. Sale (17-6) scattered three singles and struck out five without a walk, cruising to his third win in three starts against Minnesota this year. Sale was supposed to pitch Thursday night against Detroit, but that game was postponed until Monday. Dayan Viciedo had two RBIs, Kevin Youkilis homered and

Alex Rios doubled, scored and drove in a run for the White Sox, who played without injured slugger Adam Dunn for the seventh straight game. Tigers 4, Indians 0

CLEVELAND — Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings and made sure Detroit stayed in step with first-place Chicago in the AL Central, leading the Tigers past Cleveland. Coming through the way he almost always does, Verlander (14-8) allowed six hits. He escaped jams in the fifth and sixth innings with help from Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera, big men best known for their powerful bats, who made stellar defensive plays. Rangers 9, Mariners 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish surpassed 200 strikeouts in his rookie season while getting his 15th victory and Josh Hamilton hit his 42nd home run for AL West-leading Texas. Darvish (15-9) struck out nine in seven innings, often complementing his mid-90s fastball with a breaking pitch about 30 mph slower. Red Sox 8, Blue Jays 5

TORONTO — Mauro Gomez hit a tiebreaking triple in the ninth inning and Boston beat Toronto, snapping a six-game losing streak against the Blue Jays. Boston had lost six of seven overall coming in, but bounced back after falling behind 3-0 and later blowing a 5-3 lead. Ryan Lavarnway hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBIs for the Red Sox. Daniel Nava had a two-run single and made a fantastic diving catch in left field in the eighth to preserve a 5-all tie.

Nats would have won if it wasn’t for that Medlen kid The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Kris Medlen struck out a career-high 13 and the Atlanta Braves pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Washington Nationals when Andrelton Simmons scored on a throwing error in the ninth inning Friday night. Simmons reached on an infield single against Sean Burnett (1-2) and scurried to third when Michael Bourn lined a single that dropped in right field. Pinch-hitter Tyler Pastornicky hit a one-hop grounder to shortstop Ian Desmond, who had a shot at getting Simmons but threw wildly to the plate, the ball skipping all the way to the backstop while the rookie slid across with the winning run. Craig Kimbrel (2-1) earned the win by striking out the side in the top of the ninth on 10 pitches, though Medlen did most of the heavy lifting. He went seven innings, allowing only a homer to Bryce Harper as the Braves snapped a three-game losing streak. Medlen eclipsed the previous best for strikeouts set 11 days earlier when he fanned 12 in a complete-game win over Colorado. In his last two starts at Turner Field, he has 25 strikeouts in 16 innings. Marlins 4, Reds 0

MIAMI — Jacob Turner allowed only two hits in a career-high seven innings for his first National League victory, and Miami beat the NL Central-leading Cincinnati. Turner (1-2) outpitched Bronson Arroyo (12-8), who gave up four runs in six in-

nings. The Reds became the final NL team to make their debut at Marlins Park, and they couldn’t muster much offense in the spacious ballpark. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth to complete a threehitter, and Cincinnati was shut out for only the third time, fewest in the NL. Cubs 7, Pirates 4

CHICAGO — Pittsburgh lost its seventh straight game and kept fading in the NL wild-card race, falling to Chicago as Starlin Castro hit a three-run homer. The Pirates have dropped 11 of 13 overall. The Cubs have won four straight against the Pirates, including a three-game sweep last weekend in Pittsburgh. Chris Rusin (1-2) notched his first major league victory, allowing two runs in five-plus innings in his fourth career start. The Cubs led 4-3 in the sixth before Castro connected after Luis Valbuena walked and Alfonso Soriano was hit by a pitch. Mets 7, Brewers 3

MILWAUKEE — Lucas Duda homered and doubled, Jonathon Niese pitched six strong innings and New Yorksnapped a six-game losing streak, beating surging Milwaukee. The loss dropped Milwaukee back to .500 at 72-72. Niese (11-9), who had lost three straight starts, settled down after giving up two second-inning runs, allowing six hits, three walks and the two runs.

This was the only time brothers hit successive home runs in a major league game. It was Lloyd’s last homer. 1946 — The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in five innings when the game was called because of gnats.

high for wins set in 2007. It was the first victory over the Astros for the left-hander in his last five tries, and his first win overall since Aug. 18 after not factoring into the decision in his last three outings. Hamels threw 95 pitches, ending a streak of 14 straight games with at least 100 pitches. Edgar Gonzalez (2-1), starting in place of Bud Norris — scratched on Thursday because of a blister on the index finger of his throwing hand — needed 32 pitches to get through the first inning and was done after the fourth. Brown’s homer, to the second deck in right field, made it 9-4 in the seventh. After Rollins homered into the right-field seats for his 42nd career leadoff shot, extending his team record, Juan Pierre drew a walk, stole second base and scored on a single by Chase Utley. Utley swiped second base before making it 3-0 when he scored on a ground-rule double by Howard. Mayberry’s two-out RBI single left the Phillies up 4-0. Mayberry, who finished with three hits, doubled in the fourth and scored on a single by Kevin Frandsen to push the lead to 5-1. Chuckie Fick walked Utley and Howard with one out in the

After allowing 65 points in September of 2011 to Albright, the Wilkes football team and coach Frank Sheptock could have given up on the season at that point and taken shot after shot from every other team. Instead, the Colonels learned from that lopsided loss and even turned in some stellar defensive efforts after that 39-point defeat. The team showed resiliency last year finishing with four wins and Sheptock used that loss to address weaknesses on defense in the offseason. “We tried to use it more as a learning experience but it definitely stings when you’re losing by 40 points and giving up 65,” Sheptock said. This afternoon at 2, the Colonels (1-0) will face Albright (2-0, 1-0 MAC) at home in the team’s

The Times Leader staff

MADISON, N.J. – Playing at FDU-Florham has been favorable for King’s recently as the Monarchs won two of the last three times they made the trip to the school entering Friday’s game. But the Devils always seem to play their best when they play on Friday nights. And that’s what happened on Friday as the Devils piled up 446 total yards at Shields Field and got the best of King’s, 30-14 dropping the Monarchs to 0-3 on the season. FDU took advantage of a big third quarter when it outscored the Monarchs 20-0 to open a 23-0 lead at halftime and using its running game as Jon Bennett hit the 100-yard mark in the first half with touchdown runs of 72 and 21 yards. The Monarchs got on the board in the third quarter taking advantage of a fumble recovery by the Devils to open the second half. Judens Goimbert capped off the two-play, 17-yard drive with a 10-yard TD run to trim the lead to 23-7. But FDU answered back with another TD to go up 30-7. Goimbert (6 rushes for 18 yards, 2 receptions for 19 yards) added a receiving score from Tyler Hartranft (13-for-28, 137 yards, 2 touchdowns) in the fourth quarter. Kyle McGrath broke 100 yards rushing for the

fifth before being lifted for Fernando Rodriguez. After an intentional walk to Brown loaded the bases, Mayberry’s single was deflected by Rodriguez and rolled to second baseman Jose Altuve. Utley and Carlos Ruiz scored before Altuve could get the throw to the plate and the Phillies increased the lead to 7-3. Utley had an RBI double in the eighth and Howard drove in two

runs with a single. NOTES: Jeff Kent, who played for the Astros from 2003-04, was scheduled to throw out the first pitch on Friday as Houston continues the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the franchise. But Kent was still recovering from breaking four ribs and puncturing one of his lungs in a recent dirt bike accident, so his 9-year-old son Kaeden threw the

pitch. Kent is set to appear “Survivor: Philippines,” the 25th season of the show, which premieres later this month. “The opportunity came for me to challenge myself and compete and compete socially, which was a challenge in itself,” he said of the show. “It was a fun experience.” ... Ruiz was the only player in Philadelphia’s lineup without a hit Friday.

Last year, Albright hung 65 on Wilkes in a blowout. Win No. 100 looms for Sheptock.

with monster 2nd

MAC and home opener. There’s nothing more the Colonels would like to prove than showing the Lions that they are a better team this season. A win for Wilkes would not only show Albright and the rest of the MAC that the team is for real it would also be a milestone for Sheptock, who currently sits at 99 career wins. “One of the things I take a great deal of pride in is that at Wilkes we have a program where we’ve had longevity here,” Sheptock said. “I think it signifies that we’ve had the opportunity to coach a lot of great players through my time here…If and when (win No. 100) occurs then it will be a very proud moment for this program and I’ll have a lot of pride in it as well because of being able to coach the players I’ve had an opportunity to coach here.” Wilkes enters the game rejuvenated after opening the season with a win and then having a bye in Week 2, which is a crucial aspect as the team will now play nine straight conference games. But they begin against the Li-

UP NEXT Albright (2-0, 1-0 MAC) at Wilkes (1-0, 0-0) When: 2 p.m. today at Schmidt Stadium, Edwardsville Last Meeting: The Lions hammered the Colonels 65-26 last season. Last week: Wilkes had its bye and is coming of a Week 1 9-7 victory over Morrisville State. The Lions defeated second-year program Stevenson 29-22 in overtime last week. What to know: Wilkes coach Frank Sheptock is already the program’s winningest coach. With a win today he will reach another milestone with No. 100. About the Lions: They return a total of 16 starters from last year’s team with nine on offense and seven on defense. Tailback Ty Hughes leads the MAC with 245 rushing yards. About the Colonels: Three players had at least 12 rushes in their win over Morrisville State. Andrew Regan had a big game last time out hauling in five catches for 110

yards and running 14 times for 47 yards. Notes: QB Tyler Bernsten will start for the Colonels, but Alex George is expected to see significant playing time as well. Wilkes tailback Aux Wogou, who missed the opener with an injury, will be back on the field this afternoon. Albright will win if it can contain Wilkes’ running game and keep the Colonels pass defense on their toes. Wilkes will win if it can turn long drives into touchdowns instead of field goals because points will be needed this game against a highscoring Albright team. Up Next: Wilkes hits the road to face Widener, while Albright heads home to face Lycoming.

“That speech was just phenomenal,” said Lions fullback P.J. Byers, a Navy dive specialist attending Penn State as part of the officer training program. “I always wanted to meet him because I’d heard stories about him from the coaches. Me and him shared the same route how we got to Penn State. … We related a lot on the same level. “His speech, he gave me a copy and I keep it on my locker. I’d love to use it as an officer with my guys in the future.” The morale gained from the summer was put to the test this past week. The Lions gave up a late score and missed four field goals in a one-point loss to Virginia. Starting receiver Shawney Kersey left the team. And with Navy being one of just two teams on the schedule that did not play in a bowl game this season, it’s an opportunity for a win that the Lions can’t afford to miss. “So far we haven’t proved the critics wrong,” senior cornerback Stephon Morris said. “We’ve gotta do a better job as a whole. Getting off the field on third down. Finishing games. We always start off well. Then for some reason in the fourth quarter, we collapse. “This Navy game can be a big confidence booster for us. Just so we can get some confidence and get things rolling.” The Midshipmen had an extra week to prepare for this one after opening the season with a game in Ireland, losing 50-10 to Notre Dame. Penn State could have used some extra time themselves to get ready for a Navy offense that is unlike any other team they will

face this year. “I didn’t schedule Navy,” O’Brien said with a laugh. Though they threw the ball 19 times against Notre Dame because of the lopsided score, the Mids will stick to the ground for most of the game, running the triple option out of their “flexbone” scheme. It’s something difficult to emulate in practice and defending it won’t apply much to the rest of the games this season. “Navy is so good at what they do,” O’Brien said. “They’re attacking your discipline and they’re attacking your toughness. … It’s very difficult to practice it because you’re talking about cut blocks and triple-option and triple-option play-action. What we do is we get our (scout team) offense out there a little earlier and they run through the plays they’re going to run with our defense. “So hopefully it’s executed when they come out for practice, and they can see a picture of what they’re doing. It’s a difficult team to play against.” Strategically, the Mids will look to grind the game out and run the clock. In their first two games, the Lions averaged 11.5 possessions on offense. O’Brien said they expect to only get eight or nine in today’s game, and have to plan accordingly. Though quarterback Matt McGloin (elbow) is expected to be at or near 100 percent for the game – “He’s a tough kid. He’s from Scranton,” O’Brien said – the offense as a whole could be shorthanded. TwostartersintailbackBillBelton (ankle) and left tackle Donovan Smith (foot) are not likely to play. Backup tailback Derek Day has limited in practice. Add in the departure of Kersey, and the Lions have some adjustments to make.

Revis not traveling to Pittsburgh

Unchartered territory for Waltrip Racing

The Jets star cornerback was ruled out for Sunday’s game on Friday. By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets will face the Pittsburgh Steelers’ speedy receivers without Darrelle Revis. The All-Pro cornerback was ruled out Friday for the team’s game at Pittsburgh on Sunday with a concussion that left Revis “in a fog” after the injury occurred in the season opener against Buffalo. Coach Rex Ryan said Revis was cleared for non-contact practice for the first time Friday, but will not travel to Pittsburgh with the team Saturday. “We followed NFL protocol this week,” Ryan said, “and we’ll always follow NFL protocol when it comes to concussions, but Darrelle is ruled out for the game.” Revis needed to be cleared by the team physician and an independent neurological consultant in order to first practice and then play. He was injured when he made a diving tackle attempt on C.J. Spiller and teammate Bart Scott accidentally kicked him in the head. The Jets will also be without tight end Dustin Keller and linebacker Bryan Thomas, both with hamstring issues. To make up for the loss of Keller, one of quarterback Mark Sanchez’s favorite targets, New York signed tight end Dedrick Epps — who was in training camp with the Jets — off Chicago’s practice squad. Pittsburgh might be without a few key defensive players, too, as safety Troy Polamalu (strained right calf) and linebacker James Harrison (left knee) didn’t practice Friday and were questionable for the game. Revis has missed just three games in his career, all in 2010. Now, the Jets will head to Pitts-

Darrelle Revis (24), who suffered what the team called a “mild concussion” last week, will not play Sunday against the Steelers.

burgh with a tough matchup coming up with the Steelers’ trio of Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. Kyle Wilson, a first-round draft pick in 2010, will start in Revis’ place opposite Antonio Cromartie. Ellis Lankster will move in Wilson’s usual nickelback spot. Safety Eric Smith is also expected to make his season debut after being hobbled since the preseason with hip and knee injuries. “With Darrelle not playing, we have a lot of confidence in Kyle Wilson,” Ryan said. “Obviously, he has to step up in a starter role, which he’s ready for. Ellis Lank-

ster and Isaiah Trufant will share some nickel and dime responsibilities. It’ll be good to get Eric Smith back, and we think he’s ready to roll. The guys that are stepping up in this case, I always believe, the guys who step up and replace that guy, have to maintain that level — or maybe even a little better. “In this case, we’ll take a little less with the Darrelle Revis deal.” A few minutes before Ryan’s announcement, Revis said he “felt good” being back on the field, but knew the “the clock is ticking” on whether he would be available.

“It was just limited reps today, that’s all it was,” said Revis, who had been limited earlier in the week to riding the stationary bike on the sideline during practice. “It’s just getting better every day. It’s just the process. That’s what I’ve really been doing. I feel good today, and we just have to go from there and hope that every day I get better and better.” It is the first concussion of Revis’ playing career at any level of football, and the cornerback never paid attention to the NFL’s rules — which have increased to try to better protect players — on head injuries. “This is a new thing for me,” he said. “I going about it the best way I can and I’m learning new things about concussions and going from there.” Ryan previously said the team would know by Saturday, when the Jets fly to Pittsburgh, whether Revis would join them for the game against the Steelers. Revis added that “it’s really not my call” when asked if he would like to travel anyway to help the team from the sideline. “I just have to do what they tell me to do, man,” Revis said. “That’s what I’m doing, is just following guidelines and what they’re telling me to do.” Revis, despite hoping to play, said the uncertainty at the time over whether he would play did not add any frustration. “No, it’s my head,” Revis said. “It’s a head injury, so I’ve got to do the best I can and make sure I’m healthy first and the team does as well. Everybody’s looking out for my best interest, and I think that’s the focus here, to make sure I’m 100 percent before I step out onto the field (for a game).” Wilson was the Jets’ top draft pick out of Boise State two years ago, but struggled as a rookie before settling into a backup role behind Revis and Cromartie. Wilson has spent the past few offseasons training with Revis.

With two racers in Chase, MWR is making first appearance in the playoffs. By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

JOLIET, Ill. — Last weekend it was a win for Clint Bowyer. On Friday, it was the announcement of a new sponsor. This Sunday, the Chase for the Sprint Cup will begin — for the first time with a driver from Michael Waltrip Racing. Two, in fact. “It seems like ever since I made this change over to Michael Waltrip, it’s almost daily that there’s more good news around the corner,” Bowyer said. Five years after an atrocious showing for Toyota in the manufacturer’s first year in NASCAR’s top series, MWR is wrapping up an impressive season. Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. are both in the Chase, which starts with Sunday’s race at Chicagoland. That’s quite a step for a team that had four top-five finishes all of last year. “We just have a great core group of folks that embrace the team atmosphere, just love working at MWR,” Waltrip said after Bowyer’s victory last weekend at Richmond. “That’s probably the thing I’m most thankful for, is the fact that everybody gets along, everybody wants each other to do good.” MWR launched in 2007, but Waltrip became embroiled in a cheating scandal at the seasonopening Daytona 500 and quickly ran out of money. Rob Kauffman, an investment fund manager and racing enthusiast, bought into the organization and pumped in cash, and Joe Gibbs Racing defected from Chevrolet to Toyota at the end of that year. When ties to Chevrolet were officially over, J.D.

Owner Michael Waltrip, left, talks with his driver Clint Bowyer during Friday’s practice session at Chicagoland Speedway.

Gibbs personally visited with every Toyota team to offer support, including technical advice. MWR’s commitment at the Cup level really increased last season. The organization expanded to three cars by hiring Bowyer for 2012, and he’s come through with two victories and six top-five showings. Truex also has six top-fives this year. “Michael really put everything he had into it, made the full commitment right out of the box,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was teammates with Waltrip at Dale Earnhardt Inc. when Waltrip won his two Daytona 500s. “They did struggle. Now he’s able to enjoy all the efforts and the sacrifices he made. It’s been a challenge, I know. When I see him up there with his two drivers, Truex and Clint, I know he’s as proud as he can be.” On Friday, Waltrip and Bowyer announced a deal with PEAK Motor Oil to be the primary sponsor on Bowyer’s No. 15 Toyota for three races in each of the next three Cup seasons. PEAK also will be an associate sponsor for all three MWR cars. That only added to the loose atmosphere surrounding the team.

Kraft removed from Dow

The Dow Jones industrial average announced Friday it would boot Kraft Foods to make room for UnitedHealth Group, the insurance company. The change takes effect Sept. 24. S&P Dow Jones Indices, which manages the average, said it was dropping Kraft because it is about to become a much smaller company after spinning off its North American grocery business. Kraft had a short shelf life on the Dow. It was added during the financial crisis in September 2008, replacing crippled insurer American International Group.

Future workforce topic of business event Times Leader staff

WILKES-BARRE – Regional business executives met Friday at the Woodlands Inn for lunch and to discuss something bigger, the future workforce. At their 10th annual joint board meeting, chamber of commerce officials talked about early-childhood education and using the critical development years from birth to age 5 to build social and behavioral habits that allow students to enter kindergarten ahead of the academic curve. Peter Danchak, PNC Bank’s

Clash

Barnett

regional president, helped coordinate the event. He sits on Gov. Tom Corbett’s Early Learning Investment Commission, a group top business executives who communicate the importance of quality education to their peers.

He said early education helps students prepare for skilled positions they might not be ready for if they began learning at the kindergarten level. “We believe that investing in our children today will build a better workforce for tomorrow,” Danchak said. Steven Barnett, a Rutgers University economics professor, addressed the financial importance of enhanced education for pre-school children. In order to be globally competitive, United States educators need to take early educa-

tion more seriously, he said. “Guatemala might be one of the poorest countries in this hemisphere, yet they’re looking for ways to implement universal Pre-K,” Barnett said. Bruce Clash, a state director for Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, gave striking statistics that further pushed Barnett’s point – education, starting with preschool, can prevent crime. “Sixty-eight percent of prison inmates are high-school dropouts,” Clash said. “In short, they drag on our economy and state budget.”

Egan-Jones is downgrading its rating on U.S. debt to AA- from AA, citing Federal Reserve plans to try to stimulate the economy. The credit rating agency says the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds will likely hurt the economy more than help it. Egan-Jones says the plan will reduce the value of the dollar and raise the price of oil and other commodities, hurting businesses and consumers. It is the second downgrade of the U.S. by the company. It stripped the U.S. of a top AAA rating in July 2011.

Tehran shopping shows trade links with Asia By NASSER KARIMI and BRIAN MURPHY Associated Press

EHRAN, Iran — The Great Satan still sells in Iran. Even after decades of diplomatic estrangement and tightening economic sanctions, American products manage to find their way into the Iranian marketplace. The routes are varied: back channel exporters, licensing workarounds and straightforward trade for goods not covered by the U.S. embargoes over Iran’s nuclear program. It offers lessons in the immense difficulties facing Western attempts to isolate Iran’s economy, which has deepen-

NEW YORK — The stock market rose again Friday because of economic help from the Federal Reserve. But even some of the buyers weren’t believers. The Dow Jones industrial average hit its highest close since the pre-crisis days of November 2007. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies briefly traded above its all-time closing high. Markets rallied around the world in places where traders were getting their first chance to react to the Fed announcement: Stocks climbed more than 2 percent in India and France and almost 2 percent in Japan and Germany. Apple, the most valuable company in American history, blew through its own all-time high and neared $700 per share as it started taking orders for the iPhone 5. The gains came on top of a 206-point climb for the Dow on Thursday, when the Fed laid out additional plans to try to energize the economy, including buying $40 billion a month in mortgage bonds for as long as necessary. But a day later, even with the market rising, plenty of investors were unconvinced. They bought stock, but they also worried that the Fed can’t do much to fix the economy and predicted that the stock market gains would be short-lived. Tyler Vernon, chief investment officer of Biltmore Capital in Princeton, N.J., wanted to capitalize on the market euphoria while he could. That the Fed is still taking such aggressive steps to boost the economy, four years after the financial crisis, doesn’t give him much comfort. The Fed, Vernon said, is “like the morphine being pumped into the patient. It keeps the patient walking and talking.”

Iranian shopkeeper Mohammad Mousavi, a Hewlett-Packard, HP, products seller, speaks on the phone, in his store, in an electronics market in northern Tehran, Iran.

New iPhone orders roll in

Delivery times climbed quickly as Apple began taking orders for the iPhone 5 on Friday, suggesting strong demand. Apple began taking orders for the phone at 12 a.m. Pacific time, promising delivery by next Friday, when the new phone also goes on sale in stores. Four hours later, the expected delivery time had grown to two weeks, according to Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White.

Clash said business executives get a hearing when they approach state legislators. “Their voices command a lot of attention with the power structures in Harrisburg,” Clash said. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy said after the meeting that she has been an advocate of enhancing education and is encouraged by business initiatives. “I felt like one voice,” Mundy said, “until law enforcement and the business community started weighing in.”

U.S. earns profit on AIG

Bailed-out insurance company American International Group Inc. said Friday the Treasury Department had wrapped up a planned sale of its stock, which netted the government roughly $20.7 billion. The government’s sale of 636.9 million shares means it has less than a majority stake in AIG for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. The government has recouped a total of $197.4 billion from the company. That’s all of the $182.3 billion initially invested, as well as a profit of $15.1 billion.

Nature's air conditioner is back on this morning, with a northerly wind blowing cooler and drier air our way for the weekend. Despite some cloudiness this afternoon and tonight, I expect no rain. Indeed, there is no chance for rain tomorrow under mostly sunny skies and a light breeze. Another cold front will approach on Monday and this one looks to be loaded with rain. Starting Monday afternoon and lasting into Tuesday a good, soaking rain is possible. This will be followed by a few days with below normal temperatures and the autumn equinox next Saturday. -Tom Clark
