Proposal would toughen interlock rules DUI first offenders target of bill By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

Drunken drivers in Luzerne County and throughout the state convicted of their first offense may find it more difficult and costly to operate a motor vehicle under a proposal in Harrisburg. A bill in the state Senate would mandate drunken drivers upon their first conviction to operate a vehicle with an interlock ignition device.

Event focuses on recovery, riding Fundraiser helps families who lost horses in devastating barn fire. By JOHN KRISPIN jkrispin@timesleader.com

HARVEYS LAKE -- An area farm will be hosting a fundraiser this month to benefit the families affected by in the devastating barn fire that killed nearly two dozen horses this past summer. Carrie Sisson, owner of the Royal Rock Equestrian Center in Harveys Lake, is organizing an open house for Saturday, Oct. 15, to boost morale and raise donations for the Race family, owners of Over the Hill Farm on Carbondale Road, South Abington Township, whose livelihood nearly vanished in the July fire. “We were going to have an open house, but before this accident I couldn’t think of a theme,” said Sisson, who competes with the like of the Race family and other area equestrian riders. “This gives us a

purpose. We were going to benefit the Wilkes University Equestrian Team, but this certainly outranks them. “This not only is going to support the horses, but this is to get children into riding. We are going to have food, refreshments, and, hopefully, a haunted horse ride. We are also trying to come up with arts and crafts activities and riding demonstrations.” According to an Abington Journal story, on the night of the blaze 13 fire companies and more than 100 firefighters responded to find the 50-by-300 foot structure fully engulfed. The Race family will keep going, said Sisson. “They have to care for the horses that did survive, and they require daily care. They put their time and effort into that.” And although barns can be rebuilt and new horses can be trained, Sisson believes the summer fire will have a lasting emotional effect felt by losing a family member.

School tax increase limits slightly higher The limit on school district tax hikes is part of the state law known as Act 1. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

As local school districts struggled last spring to plug huge budget holes created by Gov. Tom Corbett’s austere education budget, many officials warned things will get worse next year. One reason: They expected the state limit on property tax increases – already below 2 percent for most Luzerne County districts – to go even lower. They were wrong. New tax increase limits have been released, and they are higher for all Luzerne County Districts -- just barely. The limit on tax hikes is part of the state law known as Act 1, which allowed the state to use money from legalized gambling to reduce local school district property taxes. The law bars districts from raising taxes beyond the limit without a voter referendum, though districts can appeal to the state for numerous exemptions. If the state approves the exemptions, districts can exceed the limit without voter approval, something that has happened frequently state wide. Corbett, how-

ever, has cut the number of allowed exemptions. The tax limit is set through a complicated formula taking into account a federal cost index for schools, a state average of increases to weekly wages and a ratio of local property values and personal incomes. A “base rate” is calculated with the state and federal data, then adjusted for each district using the local data. This year’s base rate was 1.7 percent, but all local districts got more than that, ranging from 2.1 percent to 2.4 percent. It’s a small change. Last year, the index for local districts ran from 1.7 percent to 2 percent – the lowest rate in the seven years the system has been in place. The highest tax index rate – the year districts could raise taxes the most without voter approval, was in 2008-09, when the local rate ranged from 5.1 to 6.1 percent.

Full steam ahead for rail exhibit By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

HAZLE TWP. -- A white puff of smoke, a rhythmic chug-chug and a clanging bell greets visitors to the Anthracite Model Railroad Society’s imaginative exhibition, scheduled to begin its annual holiday run in November at the club’s 1057 Hanover Court location. “We’ve been doing this for about 20 years now,” said Anthracite’s president, Joe DeLuca. “It’s great clean entertainment for people of all ages.” DeLuca said his organization decided long ago to open the exhibit to all comers, free of charge. “Children come back year-in and year-out and they just love the exhibit,” Deluca said. “The display’s constantly changing, so there’s always something new to see.” Anthracite officials said their elaborate exhibit is self-financed and has more than 1,000 feet of track on a bi-level platform and

The 44 year-old Tunkhannock native was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer in July. Doctors, at that time, estimated that she had only six months left to live.

Science, writing scores are up

Wycallis and Lehman-Jackson Elementary Schools had perfect scores. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

Local results on state science and writing tests continue to be the good news that gets overshadowed by math and reading exams. While a majority of Luzerne County schools saw math and reading test results dip in the 2010-11 school year, most showed improvement in science and writing. Two schools, Wycallis Elementary in the Dallas School District and Lehman-Jackson Elementary in Lake-Lehman, can’t get any better in science. Each had 100 percent of the students tested score proficient or advanced. For Wycallis, this was the second perfect year in a row. Fifteen other schools had at least 90 percent of students score proficient or better in science. Science and writing tests often go unnoticed because there are no mandated minimum goals for the results. In sharp contrast, federal law requires math and reading results to increase steadily until all students score proficient by 2014. In Luzerne County, the science tests were administered in 53 schools last school year. Of those, 18 saw the percentage of students scoring proficient or better drop from the previous year. WilkesBarre Area’s Solomon/Plains Junior High had the biggest drop, from 59.8 percent to 40.1 percent. Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High had the biggest science gain, to 56.5 percent from 44.4 percent. Four other schools had double-digit improvements. All told, 37 local schools beat the statewide proficiency rate of 60.9 percent in science. In writing, Lake-Lehman’s Lake-Noxen Elementary nearly doubled the percentage of students scoring proficient or better, to 69.2 percent from 36.7 percent. Sixteen other schools showed double-digit improvements. Writing results dropped for 18 county schools, with Wyoming Valley West’s Third Avenue Elementary slipping the most, to 48 percent from 66.7 percent. The statewide rate is higher in writing, 75 percent last year. In Luzerne County, 29 of the 53 schools where tests were given beat that mark.

Family members now fear that she may not make it until then. “We have a pretty big family and we figured we would have to get together to help her in any way we can,” said Brobst’s uncle Donny Sipple. Sunday’s event, which featured food, refreshments, live music and raffles, was primarily organized by Sipple and Brobst’s cousin Norman Gavlick of Gavlick Personnel and Gun Hippo in Kingston. Brobst’s sister Lorena Langan said this was actually the latest

of several charity events organized since the family received Molly’s tragic news in July. She said Molly first began suffering from nausea in March. She did not, however, seek immediate treatment due partially to her lack of health insurance. The family had also had a history of gallbladder trouble, so Molly assumed this was likely the cause of her troubles. But her conditioned worsened in May. By July, test results showed that, in addition to the gallbladder trouble, cancer that started in her uterus had moved into the ovaries before damaging her lungs.

Stepping up to help Park event aids Down Syndrome Network

WILKES-BARRE -- A rainy Kirby Park hosted the crowds participating in 7th Annual Buddy Walk to benefit the Luzerne County Down Syndrome Network on Sunday. The event provides funding for a number of the network’s ongoing programs, which include a swim program, an arts, music and dance class, and an iPad initiative that provides the tablet computer devices for local Down syndrome children. Event organizers said the Buddy Walk usually attracts several hundred participants, but this year’s pre-registration numbers have been markedly lower due to current economic conditions. “This is our big day,” said organizer, Rick Uter. “It’s our one fundraiser each year.” Uter encouraged family and friends of Down syndrome children to partake of his group’s many programs. “We want to spread the word that there are a lot of activities for local kids to get involved in,” Uter added. Participants paid $10 to register for the event, which included a tiedyed T-shirt and refreshments. Organizers hoped to raise $10,000 from this year’s event. “We came out to honor my brother and to support the Down Syndrome Network,” said Bob Roper of Kingston, who brought along a car load of family members. “It’s a worthwhile cause,” he said.

Salon owner cuts to the chase with her donations By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY -- Armed with nothing but an SUV packed to capacity with donations from clients and friends, Christina Freeman, 40, of Forty Fort, takes to the streets of Shickshinny once a week to help out flood victims. Freeman has been taking donations through her Hanover Township salon, Ciao Bella, in the days after the flood. In an effort to cut out the middle man and make sure donations go directly to those who truly need them, she has driven through Shickshinny in search of those who look like they might need

help. “I’ll go right up to someone and ask what they need,” she said. “They’re welcome to go through whatever I have in my car and take what they need. On one day I helped 14 families.” Freeman is focusing on Shickshinny because she feels the town isn’t receiving as much help as other flood areas. “I have definitely seen the Red Cross through here, and the church has been helping out quite a bit, but there’s just so much more to be done, so much devastation,” she said. The items she finds most people are looking for are toilet paper, bottled water, toothpaste and shampoo, as well as pots, pans and linens, which she said are a bit harder to come by. “One of my clients made Zi-

THE TIMES LEADER

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A Dallas man on Wednesday was deemed a sexually violent predator in the rape of a 12-year-old girl. Senior Judge Hugh Mundy made the determination after hearing testimony from a state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board member earlier this month concerning Jesse Lee Rhodes, 29. Rhodes was charged in November 2010 after a 12-year-old girl’s father reported to police that Rhodes sexually assaulted her. According to court papers, the girl told police she was home alone with Rhodes when he began to kiss her, then raped her. In April, Rhodes pleaded no contest to a charge of unlawful contact with a minor. Rhodes is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 21.

Joseph Ostroski, 51, of Firehouse Road, Lehman Township, waived four counts of robbery to Luzerne County Court.

WORLD OPINION

More hollow promises for rights in Saudi Arabia

VEN IF THE latest promise of granting marginal political rights to Saudi women could be believed, it would be too little, too late. King Abdullah has good intentions regarding their position, but any step forward on rights tends to be matched by two steps back – and not just for women. The king consulted with clerics before announcing women could vote in the next municipal election – though not the one last week – and join the royally appointed Majlis ash-Shura, a consultative body with no real power. The clerics’ consent suggests they see the promise as sufficiently meaningless not to pose any threat to the Wahhabi establishment. They are right. This promise has been made before – when municipal elections were first held in 2005, women were also told that next time they would be allowed to cast their ballots.

Not only did it take six years for “next time” to arrive; women have now been sold that particular horse twice. No one knows how long it will take before the new promise is tested. In the meantime, the rules that make women the wards of male relatives in even the tiniest legal matter – and the no less offensive ban on driving – remain in place, threading women’s lives through endless humiliations and impracticalities. The rulers seem united in defying the march of history by holding on to their form of government: absolute monarchy balanced only by fundamentalist theocracy. In particular, they show no sign of permitting any political participation that would permit minority Shia to press their claims. Not only women, but all disenfranchised Saudis will have to bide their time a while longer. London Evening Standard

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Hopefully the next 25 years will be the same if I have it.” Sting The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, who turned 60 on Sunday, is celebrating a quarter century as a solo artist with the Oct. 18 release of “Sting: The Best of 25 Years.” He also will launch his “Back to Bass Tour.”

A diplomatic direction

APAN’S DIPLOMACY is back at the starting line – again. During his visit to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda met with U.S. President Barack Obama. They agreed to strengthen the Japan-U.S. alliance. Good. Obama has been in office for less than three years, but he already has met four Japanese prime ministers – Taro Aso, Yukio Hatoyama, Naoto Kan and now Noda. In this age when summits figure prominently in world affairs, such frequent changes of leadership cannot be conducive to the development of stra-

tegic diplomacy. In his foreign policy debut, Noda confirmed the Japan-U.S. alliance as the basis of Japanese diplomacy. Noda is now required to confirm Japan’s position in the multipolar world of international politics and pursue sincere but tough diplomacy. For that, he must help create a stable order in East Asia and the Asia-Pacific region based on a strong Japan-U.S. relationship. In particular, he must attempt to mend relations with China, which derailed last year after a row over the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo

Mobilize Somalian aid

S IF THINGS weren’t bad enough in Somalia, there are now fears the October rains will bring malaria and other diseases to refugee camps in the Horn of Africa. This only adds a new urgency to help those affected by the worst famine in 60 years. The main impediment isn’t the West’s lack of generosity. It is the difficulty in accessing those people affected by the famine who cannot make it out to neighboring countries. More than 750,000 are at immediate risk of starvation inside Somalia. More political will is needed to resolve this issue and over-

come the challenges of bringing food aid to both the south of the country, controlled by al-Shabab, the Islamist group that won’t allow in relief agencies, and to the capital of Mogadishu, under the tenuous control of an often-corrupt Transitional Federal Government. Ken Menkhaus, a professor at Davidson College, N.C., and one of the world’s foremost Somalia experts, is calling for a “diplomatic surge” to force alShabab to open routes for aid delivery, and to hold the transitional government accountable.

Make informed choices about medical imaging testing A RECENT national news magazine article reported that some medical screenings and tests, including imaging studies, might not be necessary for low-risk patients. In fact, some screening tests, particularly CT scans, expose patients to radiation, which might elevate a person’s lifetime risk of developing cancer. Other tests, such as MRIs, might not use radiation but still pose risks, including false positives that could lead to overtreatment or even unnecessary treatment. Patients in Northeastern Pennsylvania should be particularly aware of these risks since data show that the use of high-tech radiology services, such as CT scans and MRIs, in our area is several times higher than the national average. There’s no question that medical imaging procedures have led to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of many medical conditions, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But before individuals decide to have a screening test, it’s impor-

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY DR. LEO M. HARTZ tant that they understand the potential risks and benefits. When used appropriately, following accepted evidence-based guidelines, the medical benefits from advanced imaging procedures generally outweigh the risks; but, if proper precautions are not taken, patients can be exposed to radiation without clinical need or benefit. So it’s important to make sure that patients get the right imaging exam at the right time, and for the right reason. Like many health insurers nationwide, we at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania are working to improve the coordination of care between our members and their doctors to ensure that they are receiving the appropriate care in the appropriate setting. It’s important that members receive the right imaging tests for their conditions, and that doctors know which imaging tests their

patients are receiving. Through this type of coordination, health insurers are helping to lower the risk of overexposing patients to radiation, while improving the quality of care through appropriate testing based on that patient’s condition and health status. When doctors do recommend an imaging study, it is for the purpose of gathering important health information to help guide diagnosis and treatment. However, if patients are concerned about an imaging study recommended by their doctor, they should ask if alternative approaches can be tried first, and how the test results will be used to influence their treatment. By working closely with their doctors and their insurer, and by being more informed, patients can play an active role in ensuring that they receive the most appropriate care that is safe and effective. Dr. Leo M. Hartz is vice president and interim chief medical officer at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He is a family physician with more than 35 years of medical practice and health management experience.

ome serious questions need to be asked before anyone applies for flood relief money to demolish the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Some $6 million of taxpayer money was given to a nonprofit organization to seal the building against the elements, and that has not been done. No one from the organization seemingly can give an adequate explanation of where that money went or how it was spent. The taxpayers need a second opinion on the engineers’ decision before further decisions are made. Some of the questions that need to be answered: How and why did a nonprofit organization acquire the Hotel Sterling instead of a local Realtor? Did the group purchase it and for how much? Why did the Luzerne County commissioners spend $6 million to have the building sealed if the county did not own the property? What guarantee were the commissioners given that the money would be spent for its intended purpose? And who hired and is paying the engineers? My understanding is a company or organization with a nonprofit status does not pay property taxes. Should the organization that presently owns it apply for federal disaster funds to fulfill its purpose of razing the Hotel Sterling to enlarge the adjacent vacant property for resale? Who will benefit? Too many people are anxious to destroy the hotel – perhaps for their own gain. With the devastation suffered by many,

taxpaying property owners who are trying to put their lives together, federal relief money should be available to them, not for the few who stand to profit from the demise of a landmark. Elaine Givens Plymouth

Writer offers four steps to improve the economy

ere are my ideas for how to turn around our economy. First, lower the price of a gallon of gasoline by a dollar. The reason the price of a barrel of oil is way down is that there is no oil shortage, and the only people making money are Wall Street speculators. Second, it’s been three years since Social Security recipients have received a cost-ofliving adjustment. Third, stop giving corporations tax breaks for taking jobs to China. Let them only get tax breaks when they bring jobs back to the United States. Fourth, tax the rich. Mr. Politician, remember you were elected by the people to work for the people,

Government should allow philanthropist to aid horses

housands of horses, foals and stallions are being killed with massive, yearround roundups conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Helicopters swoop down and chase these horses until they can’t run anymore and can be trapped. Ten percent die from this trauma, many fracture their legs and some have to be euthanized. There reportedly are more than 41,000 of these horses in captivity. More than 15,000 are crammed into pens. These are cruel and inhumane conditions – all at taxpayers’ expense. Madeleine Pickens, wife of billionaire T. Boone Pickens, has offered to take these horses from the government, but the government has refused. She has more than 1,000 square miles of land on which these horses can roam. Aren’t we in a deficit crisis?

Al-Qaida bomber is still alive

Yemeni official says Ibrahim al-Asiri did not die in drone strike as U.S. reported. By KIMBERLY DOZIER AP Intelligence Writer

WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida’s top bomb maker in Yemen did not die in a drone strike on a convoy, a top Yemeni official said Sunday, a report that dashed the hopes of U.S. officials who thought the attack might have killed a trio of top al-Qaida personnel. The U.S. drone strike Friday killed U.S.-born cleric Anwar alAwlaki and an American propagandist, Samir Khan, who published a slick English-language web magazine that spouted alQaida’s anti-Western ideology. U.S. intelligence officials had said it appeared that bomb maker Ibrahim al-Asiri was among the dead. However, on Sunday the Yemeni official released a list of two others whose bodies had been identified and noted that alAsiri was not one of them. The Yemeni official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. The Saudi-born Al-Asiri, 29, was tied to the so-called underwear bomb that was used in an attempt to bring down a Detroitbound jetliner on Christmas Day in 2009. A Nigerian man has been charged in that attack. Al-Asiri was also believed to have been behind an intercepted pair of explosives-laden printers that were mailed from Yemen to the U.S. in 2010. There was no immediate official word from the U.S. regarding the identities of the bodies. Al-Asiri has been described as a critical component of al-Qaida’s activities in Yemen and his death would be a significant blow to the organization. Even before officials determined al-Asiri had not died in the strike, anti-terrorism experts noted that al-Qaida remained a powerful threat in Yemen.

Flood victims crowded out

Gas boom in northern Pennsylvania is creating housing crunch for many. By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

TUNKHANNOCK — Pennsylvania residents who lost their homes to Tropical Storm Lee more than three weeks ago are having a tough time finding affordable housing, or any housing at all, because workers in the area’s natural gas drilling boom have filled nearly every room. Last month’s record flooding has worsened a housing crunch in north central and northeastern Pennsylvania, where a surge in drilling over the past few years has led to housing shortages and skyrocketing rents. Flood victims say available units are few, and federal disaster assistance doesn’t come close to paying the rent on the scattered vacancies that are left. Kim Eastwood, whose home was severely damaged in the flood, has been staying with her son, daughter and elderly mother in a Red Cross shelter in a high school gymnasium while

The device also at periodic times during operation of the vehicle prompts drivers to to blow into the mouthpiece to ensure they are not under the influence. Attorney James Haggerty of Kingston said the bill unfairly punishes those first-time DUI offenders. “Who is going to get the interlock and abide by the rules? Those people who are low risk and not going to re-offend anyway,” Haggerty said. “This law as it is written is not going to do anything about high-risk offenders.” Haggerty, who has been defending DUI offenders for 16 years, said the bill as drafted is “complicated and confusing.” “I’ve spent three or four hours reading this bill and making a chart comparing it to the current law,” he said. “It’s messed up.

It hasn’t been easy — not shelter life with its cold showers and hard cots, nor her quest for an apartment or house. “The couple we saw are way too expensive,” said Eastwood, 35, of Mehoopany. The Federal Emergency Management Agency says it will provide temporary trailers to residents who qualify — the first batch of about 250 trailers has been approved, and they are being rolled out in the coming days and weeks — but that process takes time. In the meantime, flooded-out residents are on a difficult and sometimes fruitless search for housing. “They can’t find any place to go because there is no place to go,” said Brian Wrightson, emergency services director for 10 American Red Cross chapters in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “They don’t want to uproot their children from the schools and leave their communities, and it’s become an issue.” Statewide, more than 57,000 victims of the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Irene have registered for federal disaster aid, with about $75 mil-

But in this region of the Marcellus Shale, a rock formation believed to hold the nation’s largest reservoir of natural gas, much of the housing stock is clearly geared toward gas-industry workers. “The rental rates are severely inflated,” said Kim Wheeler, a state Department of Community and Economic Development staffer who has been working to secure housing for flood victims in heavily drilled Lycoming County. In Bradford County, the center of the Marcellus industry, three-bedroom homes are listed for $1,200 to $1,700 per month, far above what a flood victim can be expected to receive from FEMA. The supply is grossly inadequate, too.

it is drafted.” Expensive devices In addition to court costs and hefty fines for a DUI conviction, an interlock ignition device can be pricey. Devices are leased from a certified vendor with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and cost approximately $1,000 per system with additional fees for monthly operation and calibration. All vehicles owned or leased by a DUI-convicted driver is required to have an ignition device under the law. There are currently 6,331 licensed drivers in Pennsylvania with the interlock ignition device, according to PennDOT. If Rafferty’s proposal becomes law, it would have an impact on approximately 600 drivers convicted of DUI in Luzerne County. According to latest statistics from the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing, there were 615 DUI sentences in Luzerne County in 2009, 788 in 2008, 621 in 2007 and 647 in 2006. State police Uniform Crime Report statistics indicate there have been 620 DUI arrests in Luzerne County from Jan. 1 through Sept. 29.

Citing statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Rafferty said 15 other states that have similar ignition interlock laws have seen a 60 percent decrease in repeat DUI arrests. Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolly, who coordinates the Luzerne County DUI Processing Center, believes education should be a priority for firsttime DUI offenders. “You have to ask, ‘What is the goal?’ ” Jolly said. “If somebody has their first DUI conviction Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff with no prior record, they are eli- writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

Mike Carroll, DAvoca, said he will vehemently oppose any effort to distribute the state’s electoral votes by congressional districts. State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-WilkesBarre, said he agrees with the poll results. State Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, said she welcomes opinions and ideas of her constituents before she decides how she will vote. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, DKingston, said Pileggi’s proposal is a blatant attempt to give the Republican presidential candidate an advantage and it will diminish Pennsylvania’s importance as a key state in the presidential election. “I don’t know how you could interpret this proposed change in any other way,” she said. Another area Democrat, state Sen. John Yudichak of Plymouth Township, said the Legislature should be working on the immediate and pressing needs of Pennsylvanians, such as flood recovery, putting people back to work and encouraging more Pennsylvanians to participate in their government through fair and open elections. “While this is not the time for this debate, we should never let the desire for partisan advantage diminish an individual’s right to vote,” he said.

And, the poll shows that 51 percent of voters say that the switch will diminish Pennsylvania’s importance as a key presidential swing state. “Pennsylvania voters say stick to the winner-take-all formula used in most states: Whoever gets the most popular votes, wins all of the state’s Electoral College votes,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Malloy said the survey comes down along party lines. He said Pennsylvania hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988 and that Republicans see an advantage in having electoral votes divided between candidates based on the individual congressional districts they win. “Pennsylvania voters think abandoning the traditional Electoral College formula would reduce the state’s swing state clout,” Malloy said in the Quinnipiac release. Pileggi says the change would more accurately reflect voters’ wishes and be fairer. But even Republicans in the poll were divided on the idea, while Democrats and independent voters favor the current system.

Kira Moyer-Sims, 19, of Portland, Ore., said things have changed a lot since the protest started, with the group much more organized. “We have a protocol for most things,” she said, including what to do when people are arrested in terms of getting legal help.

Police officers have been a regular sight at the plaza. “As always, if it is a lawful demonstration, we help facilitate and if they break the law we arrest them,” Browne said.

Another voice on Sunday belonged to Jackie Fellner, a 32year-old marketing manager from Westchester County. “We’re not here to take down Wall Street. It’s not poor against rich.

PHILADELPHIA - Nobody’s dreaming big around the Philadelphia Eagles anymore. Not after reality rocked the Eagles during their third straight loss. Not after their explosive offense evaporated, their defense disappeared and their kicking game caved in. 49ERS And certainly not after the San Francisco 49ers scored EAGLES three unanswered touchdowns in the second half Sunday while rallying to a 24-23 victory that left the Eagles searching for answers at Lincoln Financial Field. “It’s a little strange, a little weird,” Eagles safety Jarrad Page said. “It was very frustrating,” Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson said. “It’s shocking,” Eagles quarterback Michael Vick said. It was all of that. The Eagles were seemingly on cruise control, building a 23-3 lead with 9:30 remaining in the third quarter behind two touchdown passes from vick and three field goals by rookie kicker Alex Henery. Then everything went haywire for the Eagles. They didn’t score again, watched Henery miss two field goal attempts and surrendered two touchdown passes by 49ers quarterback Alex Smith along

PHILADELPHIA - If he never plays another postseason in Philadelphia, Jimmy Rollins is confident he’s made his mark on the town. The St. Louis Cardinals certainly left theirs. Ryan Theriot accounted for three runs and Jon Jay drove home two Sunday as the Cardinals rallied against Cliff Lee and the heavily-favored Phillies for a 5-4 victory that evened their National League Division Series at a game apiece in front of 46,575 people - the largest crowd in the history of Citizens Bank Park.

UP NEXT IOWA at PENN STATE 3:30 p.m. Saturday TV: ABC

The final numbers weren’t all that bad, but Penn State knew better. Though the Nittany Lions finished with 193 yards rushing against Indiana on Saturday in a 16-10 win, coaches and players weren’t satisfied with the effort. With the Lions hurting for depth at tailback this weekend, sophomore starter Silas Redd was called upon for a career-high 29 carries, finishing with 129 yards. But for much of the game, the shifty Redd had very little room to run, and it was a credit to him that he was often able to grind out positive yards. Coach Joe Paterno, who criticized his running game -- and the offensive line in particular -- in the week leading up to the game, said afterward that there was still work to be done. “I didn’t think we were staying on blocks,” Paterno said. “I think remarks about (Indiana’s struggles) last week may have See PSU, Page 2B

But for one local runner, the call signals the start of a morning spent preparing for something that she has been chasing for six years.

had a little bit of an impact on how they went into this game. They thought that it was going to be easier. “The Indiana kids played a much better game, obviously. At least I would say they did. I think that’s a credit to their coaching staff. We didn’t stay on blocks and we had a couple missed assignments. Guys at this stage I would hope would be a little bit better.” And that disappointment led to a benching on Saturday. Senior right tackle Chima Okoli was pulled from the game late in the second quarter after getting flagged for a false start and spent the rest of the day on the sideline. Junior Mike Farrell, playing for the first time since suffering a sprained knee in the opener against Indiana State, took Okoli’s place the rest of the way.

man competition in Florida. She entered without any real expectations of how she’d do. She was the youngest finisher at the race. From there, Obsitos has found her way to a slew of contests that have tested her endurance in every sense of the word. Starting in her junior year of high school at Wyoming Valley West and continuing through her four years at King’s College, Obsitos has competed in Ironman competitions in New Jersey, Delaware, Louisville, Ky., and Lake Placid, N.Y. She’s also run in -- and completed -- the Steamtown, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh marathons and, for good measure, the Boston Marathon -- twice.

in every situation. I can help this team besides scoring goals, and tonight was a little example of that.” McDonald finished the night with two assists – the second coming in the third period when he and Craig teamed up on Tangradi’s power play goal. The play, which culminated with Tangradi slamming home a shot while stationed by the far post, showed that McDonald is not only capable of being more than a scorer, but he also generated some chemistry with his

right guard, alternating with senior DeOn’tae Panell. Okoli had been bothered by an ankle injury for much of September, causing him to miss long stretches of games. But the personnel switch on Saturday appeared to be motivated by performance. “Chima’s had a tendency to jump offsides,” Paterno said. “And in all fairness to Chima, he’s been hurt. He hasn’t practiced at 100 percent until this week. “Farrell has been hurt. We liked Farrell. We knew we were going to try to play him and Urschel.” The left side of the line has remained intact for must of the opening five games of the season, with Quinn Barham, Johnnie Troutman and Matt Stankiewitch holding things down at left tackle, left guard and center, respectively. Against the Hoosiers, the Lions had higher hopes for the ground game, facing an Indiana defensive front that had been pushed around a week earlier by North Texas, a winless team from the Sun Belt Conference.

The Hoosiers came into the game ranked11th out of12 teams against the run in the Big Ten, while the Lions’ rushing offense had been last. One of Penn State’s best runs of the day didn’t come until its final drive, as Redd broke free for a 24-yard burst against a tiring defense. The sophomore had 79 of his 129 yards after halftime. Backup Curtis Dukes also showed some promise, hitting a few holes with authority and finishing with 54 yards on nine carries. Dukes saw significant time because Brandon Beachum missed his second straight game with a foot injury and did not make the trip to Bloomington. Stephfon Green is with the team but remains relegated to the practice squad for disciplinary reasons. Walk-on Derek Day -- the fourth string tailback -- traveled with the team because of Beachum’s injury. Though he did not get a carry, he picked up his first career catch, good for13 yards, as the Lions used him mostly on third downs because of his passblocking ability.

the kind of time and effort into her preparation that marks a truly passionate pursuit. “Ironman consumes your life,” Obsitos said. “That’s what you sign up for. You know in advance you’re giving up a lot but when you cross that finish line at the Ironman, it’s an unbelievable experience. You give up a lot of friend and family functions, you give up sleep ... it takes a lot of dedication.” According to Obsitos, her usual preparation for an Ironman competition takes up roughly nine months, working six days a week. During that period, Obsitos will swim three or four days a week for an hour a day, bike ride three or four days a week, usually varying her distances, and run five days a week, concentrating more on time than distance. Her running workouts vary between track workouts and aerobic

runs that can last up to an hour and a half, with the time increasing deeper into her training, and often come immediately after a bike ride. With a demanding schedule constantly calling to her, Monica knows where to look for inspiration or support when the time spent rigorously training threatens to become too solitary. “It’s all local. From my coach, Traci McGurk, who’s great and helps me out with everything and talks me through things, she’s definitely motivating,” Obsitos said. “My parents have attended pretty much every race of mine. They’re really supportive. Having them there is just means that much extra to me.

That line really got us going,” Hynes said. “The level of intensity they played with helped our team to be able to play the way we wanted for the majority of the game.” McDonald was well aware that being one of the few veterans in the Penguins’ lineup on Sunday meant he would be looked upon to be a leader as well.

“Other athletes really inspire me too, like the ones who finish ahead of me in other events,” Obsitos continued. “I see them as a reason to push myself to see what I can do to come in like they do. You see all these success stories out there and it just amazes me. I’m healthy and young, and there are handicapped people out there competing and pushing their bodies the same way I can. It just amazes me.” With her support system in place, with six years of fine-tuning her abilities and with an undeniable determination driving it all, it’s only obvious to wonder what kind of performance she will turn in at

I’m fortunate to even qualify.” If she turns in an even better time at “the big cheese” – as Obsitos described it – than she did in Florida last year, that result might propel her to not just future Ironmans but possibly looking to upgrade her amateur status. “That would be a future goal.

would love to do that,” Obsitos said. “You’ve got to find that balance between a full-time job and training, but I would never rule it out. I would love for that to be my job,” she said. “You have to have ability and I definitely think I have the ability. “I think anyone has the ability to be honest with you.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Don’t let Colin McDonald’s 42goal campaign with Oklahoma City last season fool you. Sure, 40-goal seasons are remarkable, but McDonald says there’s much more to his game. He said as much to head coach John Hynes a few days ago. “I just told him I want to be a good two-way player. I don’t want to just be a power play guy. I enjoy killing penalties and I want to play in every situation,” McDonald said. “I told him that and he told me he’d give me an opportunity.” McDonald, 27, got that opportunity Sunday night when he skated in the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins top line with Ryan Craig and Eric Tangradi. McDonald didn’t score in the Penguins’ 3-1 win over the Adirondack Phantoms, but he did set up goals and made several

key plays to stifle plays in the defensive zone. The biggest came in the first period when Adirondack began to set up shop in the Penguins end. That was until McDonald positioned himself at the top of the slot to intercept a pass and backhand the puck out of the zone to Cody Chupp in the neutral zone. McDonald’s pass sent Chupp flying down the other end of the ice to score a breakaway goal. A sound defensive play followed by an assist on the same shift… not bad for a player known more for being the AHL’s leading goal scorer last season. Surprisingly, though, playing a two-way game isn’t new to McDonald. “If there’s one thing that’s been consistent in my pro career is I’ve had to be solid defensively,” he said. “I don’t know how much these coaches know me, but I want to prove to them I can play

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Tide moves to No. 2 Southeastern Conference rivals LSU and Alabama held the top two spots in The Associated Press college football poll after the Crimson Tide jumped past No. 3 Oklahoma and into second. Alabama’s rise gives the SEC the top two teams in the country for the 10th time in the last four seasons. The Tide beat Florida 38-10 on Saturday night in Gainesville, then received 12 first-place votes in the media rankings released Sunday. LSU remained No. 1 for a second straight week, receiving 40 first-place votes and 1,473 points. Alabama had 1,435. Oklahoma, which started the season No. 1 before slipping last week, got seven first-place votes. Wisconsin also moved up after a big victory, jumping three spots to No. 4 after a 48-17 win against Nebraska. GOLF

Na tops in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS — Kevin Na won the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, birdieing Nos. 15-17 to pull away for a two-stroke victory over Nick Watney. Na closed with a 6-under 65 for a 23-under 261 total at TPC Summlerin in the Fall Series opener. His family moved from South Korea to the United States when he was eight and he started playing golf a year later. Watney, a two-time winner this year, shot a 67. Tommy Gainey and Paul Goydos had 66s to tie for third at 18 under.

Perry takes title CARY, N.C. — Kenny Perry won the SAS Championship on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, making a 40-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th en route to a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and John Huston. The 51-year-old Perry, a 14time winner on the PGA Tour winner, had an 11-under 205 total — the highest winning score in tournament history — on the Prestonwood Country Club course. Sluman also finished with a 70, and Huston shot a 71. AUTO RACING

Kurt Busch wins DOVER, Del. — Kurt Busch has stormed into contention for a second Cup championship, holding off fellow Chase drivers Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway. Edwards and Kevin Harvick are tied for first in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings after three rounds. Round 4 of the Chase is at Kansas Speedway. Busch pulled away from Johnson after a late restart to win his second race of the season. Johnson was second and Edwards was third. Busch moved from ninth to fifth in the standings, only nine points out of first. Chase drivers Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch were fifth and sixth. Tony Stewart lost the points lead he built after winning the first two Chase races and finished 25th.

Carpenter victorious SPARTA, Ky. — Ed Carpenter edged Dario Franchitti at the Kentucky Speedway finish line to pick up his first career IndyCar Series victory. Carpenter and Franchitti staged a wheel-to-wheel battle for the final 22 laps, and Carpenter had just enough at the finish line to give Sarah Fisher Racing its first ever victory. Franchitti finished second and reclaimed the IndyCar points lead after Will Power had an awful day. Contact on pit road during the first round of stops caused damage to Power’s car that he never recovered from. -- The Associated Press

Brewers bash, bunt their way to a win By COLIN FLY AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE — Jonathan Lucroy drove in the go-ahead run with a squeeze and the Milwaukee Brewers showed they could bunt as well as bash, breaking away from the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in their NL division series. Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer and fellow slugger Prince Fielder added an RBI single for Milwaukee. But the brawny Brewers also excel at the little things, especially Lucroy. Lucroy’s safety squeeze keyed a fiverun sixth inning, and came right after Diamondbacks reliever Brad Ziegler became angry about a balk call. That’s when rookie Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke put on a play — he’d already seen Lucroy successfully bunt a few times this season. With the score 4-all and runners at the corners with one out, Jerry Hairston Jr. took a couple of half-steps and sprinted

without a decision. He was 11-0 at Miller Park, helping the Brewers win a majorsbest 57 games at home. The Brewers now hold a 2-0 lead in a postseason series for the first time in franchise history. Game 3 is Tuesday at Arizona, and Milwaukee will go for a sweep when Shaun Marcum takes on rookie Josh Collmenter. The Diamondbacks seemed poised for a come-from-behind victory after notching 48 this season when Paul Goldschmidt, Chris Young and Justin Upton all homered off Greinke to tie the game. Instead, Arizona went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position and Milwaukee kept its cool until the sixth, when seven consecutive batters reached with one out. Hairston, making his second straight start in place of Casey McGehee at third, doubled to chase Diamondbacks starter Daniel Hudson. Ziegler entered and was called for a balk when he spun and found no one behind Hairston for a pickoff attempt.

seventh inning to raise his series average to .625. "As far as my legacy here in Philadelphia? It’s pretty solid," Rollins winked before the game. The Phillies flashy shortstop is hardlyonsolidgroundintermsof job security. He’s playing through the final year of his contract with the Phillies, and will become a free agent as soon as the season ends unless the Phillies sign him to an extension quickly. But Rollins followed a two-hit first game with three more Sunday, doing his best to extend Philadelphia’s dominating season to the National League Championship Series and beyond. "It was never an issue," Rollins said of his contract status. "Having the team that we had and being able to come out and perform the way we did, that was first." So the first guy up in the Phillies lineup made a good first impression. Rollins roped a leadoff double off the right field wall, and later scored along with Chase Utley when Ryan Howard delivered a two-run, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the first inning. Raul Ibanez slammed a sharp single to left field later in the inning, scoring Hunter Pence with the third Phillies run. Rollins led the Phillies to a 4-0 lead in the second inning. He missed a homer by about a foot, driving his second double of the game high off the right field fence. Rollins then stole third base as Chase Utley walked, and scored when Pence scorched a single to right

field. From there it was a struggle for Lee, who went 17-8 with a 2.40 ERA during the regular season. The smooth lefthander, who fell to 7-3 lifetime in the postseason, stranded runners in scoring position during the first two innings. But the Cardinals finally solved Lee during a three-run fourth inning. Lance Berkman drew a walk, Yadier Molina singled off the glove of rollins, then Ryan Theriot slammed an RBI single that scored Berkman. Jay singled home Molina, and Rafael Furcal brought the Cardinals to the brink of tying the game with a run-scoring single to left field. Only a strong throw from left fielder Ibanez and a gutty play by catcher Carlos Ruiz kept the Phillies in the lead. They hung onto it when Ruiz survived a violent collision with Jay at the plate and hung onto Ibanez’s throw for the final out of the fourth inning.

with Frank Gore’s 12-yard touchdown burst with three minutes to play while blowing a 20-point lead - and the game. “Absolutely terrible job by myself and my football team,” Eagles coach Andy Reid growled. That Eagles “Dream Team,” everyone projected after Philadelphia’s offseason free agent-signing frenzy is turning into a fright night. “We’ve got to get together,” Eagles new starting middle linebacker Brian Rolle said. Suddenly, things are coming apart at the seams for the 1-3 Eagles. They got off to a soaring start Sunday, behind some brilliant maneuvering by Vick.

He escaped two certain sacks in the backfield to fire a 16-yard touchdown pass to Clay Harbor for the game’s first score in the first quarter, then hooked up with DeSean Jackson on 45-yard bomb in the second. That led to Henery’s 32yard field goal, for a 10-3 Eagles lead. That advantage grew to 13-3 when Henery blasted a 32-yard field goal with 1:52 remaining in the first half. And after defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins recovered Smith’s fumble on a sack, LeSean McCoy cashed in on a 20-3 halftime lead for Philadelphia with a five-yard touchdown run. “We all had high expectations,” Vick said, “and we still do.” Those high hopes were boosted when Henery booted his third field goal, a 33yarder that gave the Eagles a seeminglycomfortable 23-3 advantage. “I felt like we were in great shape,” Jackson said.

wiped away raindrops from his helmet while Valverde tried to get a good grip. With the crowd roaring, Cano hit a routine groundball to end it. “All of a sudden, against anybody — but particularly against a team like them with the short porch in right field — it was not a good feeling,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “But it worked out OK.” Tigers starter Max Scherzer pitched no-hit ball into the sixth before Cano blooped an oppositefield single to left. Miguel Cabrera’s two-run homer in the first off Freddy Garcia gave Scherzer an early edge, and the Tigers took a 4-0 lead into the eighth. Granderson hit a solo homer off Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit in the eighth. Pretty soon, the rain — and all the drama — filled Yankee Stadium. “Today, we proved that we can compete. (Monday) is going to be a different story,” Benoit said. “We go home, we’re going to play in our home ballpark, which is a little bit more fair.” Game 3 is Monday at Detroit. In a rematch, of sorts, CC Sabathia is scheduled to start against Verlander, a 24-game winner. The two All-Stars faced each other in the series opener Friday night, but the game was suspended after only 11⁄2 innings because of rain. The Yankees lost three of four this year at Detroit and are 22-25 at Comerica Park since it opened in 2000. It’s one of only two AL stadiums where New York has a losing record. “The mentality here is everything is high, we feel good, and we just lost a tough one here today,” said Nick Swisher, who homered on Valverde’s first pitch. Playing on the scheduled travel day, the Tigers now fly home with a chance to take command of the series, just as they did in 2006, when they lost the opener in New York before sweeping three straight. Planning on playing two more days in a row in Detroit, Yankees manager Joe Girardi did not use his top late-game relievers, Rafael Soriano and Dave Robertson, and Detroit added a run in the ninth on Don Kelly’s RBI single off Luis Ayala for a 5-1 lead. “Being down three runs, and

What happened next got a flustered Philadelphia crowd all bent out of shape. Smith found running back Kendall Hunter bouncing off Eagles defenders for a 44-yard gain, then whipped a 30yard touchdown pass to Joshua Morgan. Smith stayed hot with a 38-yard pass to Michael Crabtree on San Francisco’s next possession, which ended with a nine-yard scoring strike to Vernon Davis. Suddenly, San Francisco was within striking distance at 23-17. And Henery kept the 49ers close by missing field goal attempts of 39 and 33 yards in the fourth quarter. “I was very disappointed,” Henery said. “I got off to a good start and those two misses were my fault. I thought I had the second one. I just pushed it.” The missed opportunities nearly pushed Reid over the edge. “Our young kicker has got to figure it out, too,” Philadelphia’s 13-year head

you know what Valverde has done all year long, we decided to go to Ayala,” Girardi said. Valverde entered in the ninth with a four-run lead. He led the majors in going 49 of 49 in save chances this year, and the Tigers were a perfect 83-0 this season when taking an edge into the ninth. But this was not a save situation for Valverde, and he was far from perfect. “It’s a little hard. That’s what happens sometimes,” Valverde said. Swisher began the comeback with a drive over the right-field wall. Jorge Posada followed with the first career postseason triple and Russell Martin walked. With the crowd rooting for a rally, Andruw Jones hit a sacrifice fly that made it 5-2. “We always have faith,” Posada said. Derek Jeter struck out as the rain that has hounded this playoff series from the start returned in buckets. Granderson then lifted his foul pop near the Detroit dugout and Avila tracked it. But the All-Star catcher slipped on the mat sporting the Yankees’ logo, lost his balance and had no play. “I was looking to see where the railing was, and I hit the on-deck circle and my foot went right underneath me,” Avila said. “I couldn’t recover after that.” Given another chance, Granderson drew a walk that sent him to first base as the tying run. Cano and Valverde both did their best to stay dry — the Yankees’ star asked for a towel to wipe off his helmet, the Tigers’ relief ace tried to tuck away the ball in his glove.

coach said, “just like everybody else on our football team.” The 49ers figured something out. Rejuvinated by Henery’s second miss, they drove 77 yards for the winning score - mainly behind Gore. San Francisco’s injured tailback ripped off a 25-yard run early in the march, then punched in a 12-yard touchdown that sent the Eagles spiraling to the bottom of the NFC East with their third consecutive defeat. “We just have to sit down and figure it out,” Page said. “I don’t think it’s a lack of effort.” Just a lack of end results. “They made some plays in the second half and we didn’t stop them,” said Eagles defensive end Jason Babin, whose three-sack day went to waste. “If I had an answer, I’d be telling somebody. Whatever it is, we’ve got to figure it out.”

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) rolls out in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans Sunday in Houston. The Texans won 17-10.

Cowboys blow big lead; Steelers fall to Texans The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Matthew Stafford saw his defense start wiping out a 24point deficit with interceptions returned for touchdowns midway through the third quarter, then he and Calvin Johnson took over from there, leading the Detroit Lions to a stunning 34-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. A week after turning a 20point halftime deficit into an overtime win, the Lions provided further proof they’re a legitimate contender this season. Detroit is 4-0 and has won an NFL-best eight straight games. This also was its franchiserecord fifth straight road win, avenging a loss here last November that had been its NFLrecord 26th straight road loss. Tony Romo and the Cowboys (2-2) continued to show there’s no lead and no deficit too big for them. They blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead for the first time in franchise history in the opener. Texans 17, Steelers 10 HOUSTON — Arian Foster rushed for 155 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter as Houston overcame an injury to All-Pro Andre Johnson for the win., Johnson left in the second quarter with a right hamstring injury and did not return though he was back on the sideline late to watch Houston (3-1) finish off the injuryplagued Steelers (2-2). Ben Roethlisberger was under pressure all day and was sacked five times behind an offensive line missing two regular starters. The quarterback injured his left leg late in the game and left the stadium wearing a walking boot. Giants 31, Cardinals 27 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes in a 58-second span late in the game to rally New York. The scoring passes of 2 yards to Jake Ballard with 3:37 to go and 29 yards to Hakeem Nicks with 2:39 left came after the Cardinals (1-3) seemingly had taken control of the game 27-17 on Beanie Wells’ third rushing touchdown of the game with 5:16 to go. Ravens 34, Jets 17 BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens scored three touchdowns on defense, all off turnovers by New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, and cruised to a victory in a bizarre game that featured an NFL-record five returns for scores. Baltimore’s three touchdowns on defense were the most in franchise history. Jameel McClain took a fumble by Sanchez 6 yards for a score on New York’s first offensive play, Jarret Johnson scored on a 26-yard fumble return and Lardarius Webb put the Ravens up 34-17 in the third quarter by taking an interception 73 yards into the end zone. It was a performance that would have made Rex Ryan proud — if he was still Baltimore’s defensive coordinator. Unfortunately for Ryan, he is now New York’s head coach. New York (2-2) has lost

seven straight to the Ravens (3-1), the last two with Ryan on the Jets sideline. Packers 49, Broncos 23 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw for a career-high 408 yards, tied a personal best with four touchdown passes and ran for two more scores and Green Bay remained unbeaten. Bengals 23, Bills 20 CINCINNATI — Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton shook off a horrid first half and led his first comeback victory, culminating in Mike Nugent’s 43-yard field goal as time ran out against previously unbeaten Buffalo. Patriots 31, Raiders 19 OAKLAND, Calif. — Tom Brady bounced back from a four-interception performance by throwing for 226 yards, two touchdowns and committing no turnovers. Wes Welker caught nine passes for 158 yards and a score, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Stevan Ridley adding rushing touchdowns and the Patriots (3-1) played a mostly mistake-free game after last week’s surprising loss in Buffalo. Redskins 17, Rams 10 ST. LOUIS — Ryan Torain ran for 135 yards and a 20-yard score, and Washington held off a late rally by winless St. Louis. Titans 31, Browns 13 CLEVELAND — Matt Hasselbeck’s fresh start in Tennessee has his team off to an unexpected one. The 13-year veteran quarterback, who left Seattle as a free agent after a playoff-filled decade, threw three TD passes in the first half and safety Jordan Babineaux returned an interception 97 yards for a TD for their third straight win under first-year coach Mike Munchak. Saints 23, Jaguars 10 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Drew Brees threw for 351 yards and a touchdown, Darren Sproles added 188 all-purpose yards and New Orleans improved to 3-1. Bears 34, Panthers 29 CHICAGO — Devin Hester set an NFL record with his 11th punt return for a touchdown, Matt Forte ran for a career-high 205 yards for Chicago (2-2). Chargers 26, Dolphins 16 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw for 307 yards and one touchdown, Mike Tolbert ran for another score and San Diego knocked out Miami quarterback Chad Henne. Falcons 30, Seahawks 28 SEATTLE — Matt Ryan threw for 291 yards, rookie Julio Jones caught 11 passes for 127 yards, and Atlanta held off a second-half rally. Chiefs 22, Vikings 17 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel hit Dwayne Bowe for a 52-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass, Ryan Succop was perfect on five field-goal attempts and the Chiefs are no longer winless.

AMERICA’S LINE

Litvinov and Snead capture delayed Summer Run honors

By ROXY ROXBOROUGH

By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – After being postponed twice, the Wyoming Valley Striders Summer 10Km Run finally took place yesterday in Kirby Park – not in the summer, but on a cold and rainy fall day. The race was originally set for July, but was postponed when the race director landed in the hospital. It was postponed again in August due to Hurricane Irene. And yesterday’s miserable weather surely cut into the amount of runners, 61, who showed up to compete. Mikhail Litvinov and Samantha Snead ran to victories. Litvinov, 24, of Drums, won top honors, breaking the tape in 33 minutes and 27 seconds. He outran second-place finisher, Frank Ferlenda, 18, of Dallas, by 3:03. John Evangelista, 41, of Blakely, finished third, nine seconds behind Ferlenda. “I like running in the rain,” said Litvinov, who ran track and cross country for Hazleton Area High School and Bloomsburg University. “I don’t mind the rain, as long as it isn’t raining too hard. It’s nice and cool.” Litvinov pulled away from the pack very early into the race and led the rest of the way. He was never challenged once he took control.

Evangelista’s third-place finish -- coupled with his second-place finish in the Winter’s End (5.5 mile) Run in Marchand his thirdplace finish in the Cherry Blossom 5 Miler in May -- earned him top Triple Crown honors in the male open Division. Brian Thomas, 41, of Tunkhannock, won top male masters Triple Crown honors. Snead won top female honors in wire-to-wire fashion with a fourth-place overall finish in 37:23. Ann Zoranski, 40, of Swoyersville, finished second among the females in 42:14. Lynn Dolan, 47, of West Wyoming, finished third, 56 seconds behind Zoranski. “I didn’t think we would ever finish the Triple Crown,” said Snead, who ran cross country for Penn State-Worthington. “But I’m exited about winning. Now I’m looking forward to next Sunday’s Steamtown Marathon – my first marathon.” Snead, who won all three of the Triple Crown races, won the female open division. Zoranski captured the female masters division of the Triple Crown. Snead has been logging between 50 and 60 miles a week of running in preparation for the marathon.

Husband no longer in love with wife is tempted to get out and about Dear Abby: Over the past several years I have fallen out of love with my wife. We’re now at a point where all we do is cohabitate for the sake of the children. She often says she wants nothing to do with the kids and treats me as below human. She calls me at work repeatedly, then hangs up on me if I don’t agree or give her the answer she wants. I finally had enough and told her I can no longer live like this. She’s now saying she has “seen the error of her ways” and wants to change. I don’t know if I believe her or even care at this point. I have been so beaten down I just go through the motions. Part of me would like to see

DEAR ABBY ADVICE who else is out there for me, but then my wife cries and says she has “nowhere to go” and that I’d be putting the mother of my children “out on the street.” She doesn’t work because she can’t keep a job. (Something always comes up that forces her to walk out.) Please help me. I am beside myself and don’t know what to do. — At a Crossroads in Colorado Dear At A Crossroads: Try marital counseling for your children’s sake, to determine whether your wife is capable of changing and whether your marriage can be salvaged.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

If the answer is no, consult an attorney who specializes in family law, and when you do, seek custody of your children. If your wife says she wants nothing to do with them now, after a divorce her attitude isn’t likely to improve. They will need a caring, supportive parent close to them. If your wife is as you have described, she appears to be more interested in a meal ticket than a partner, and you deserve better. Dear Abby: I am a college student. In order to save money on housing, my best friend, “Keira,” and I decided to get an apartment together. She’s engaged, so it’s actually the two of us and her fiance, “Bruce.” All of us were enthusiastic about the idea. They moved in a few months before me be-

CRYPTOQUOTE

cause I had a job back home and their jobs were at school. Because they moved in first, they treat me as if it is “their” apartment and I merely have a room there. When I try to buy things for the apartment, such as a new tablecloth, bath mat, etc., Keira immediately undoes any changes I have made when I leave for the day. I feel it is her passive-aggressive way of undermining me. It happens every day with something. This may seem petty, but this is my apartment, too. I pay rent just as they do, and I want to feel at home here as well. Keira is stubborn and wants things her way. How can I get her to quit this behavior without causing further animosity within our home? — Home-Less in New York

Dear Home-Less: Convene a household meeting and tell Keira and Bruce what you have told me. While they arrived first and furnished “their” nest, you have an equal right to have it reflect some of your taste and personality. If you don’t bring this out in the open, you will never establish a compromise. Because Keira is planning to be married, she had better get used to the concept of compromise because a successful marriage is full of it. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Practice is the key to mastering skills. You could get lucky in the beginning, and yet it still may take a good deal of practice to do it consistently right. Put in the time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve quested long and hard for something with very little evidence that you ever will obtain it. Today your fortunes change, though. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you think of the one who has been there for you along the way, special pictures and words come to mind. This is something to record so that when the time comes to express your gratitude, you will not be at a loss. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Physical stillness is the best thing you could do to gain clarity today. You’ve been like a whirling dervish lately. When you quiet your body, you’ll realize just how hard you’ve been working it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If only you had a staff of industrious elves to keep your domestic life running like the North Pole. Alas, you’re dealing with human folk who are twice the size with half the work ethic. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll hear of someone’s unfortunate trials and tribulations. The positive outcome is that you’ll realize how lucky you are by comparison and will have a new appreciation for your circumstances. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will help a loved one with your openminded approach to problem solving. You won’t make moral judgments. Instead, you’ll concern yourself with whether an action is helpful or harmful.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You love your independence, and you also love feeling close with someone you find splendidly attractive. If you plan it well, you’ll enjoy both of these states of being today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the right idea comes your way, you think you’ll recognize it right away. You expect the earth to tremble, or maybe lights to flash and alarms to sound. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Making someone feel like the most important person in the world will in turn make you seem like an absolute genius in that person’s eyes. Your attractiveness will grow appreciably. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s much you’ll be working on throughout the day. And when the time comes to shut off your head and go to sleep, your head simply will not want to quiet down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll deal with one who wants everything yesterday. This kind of impatience is difficult for you to relate to now, since you’re becoming so effective at going with the flow. However, you’ll try to be accommodating. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3). Your intentions are on target this year, and so the details fall into place more often than not. You make room for new people and different points of view, and suddenly your work and life get richer. There will be commotion in your family life. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 6, 15, 33 and 49.
