ANDY MURRAY MAKES

TENNIS HISTORY
NEW YORK His consid-
erable lead, and a chance
at history, slipping away,
Andy Murray dug deep
for stamina and mental
strength, outlasting No-
vak Djokovic in a thrilling
five-set U.S. Open final
Monday.
It had been 76 years
since a British man won a
Grand Slam singles cham-
pionship and, at least as
far as Murray was con-
cerned, it was well worth
the wait.
Murray finally pulled
through with everything
at stake on a Grand Slam
stage, shrugging off de-
fending champion Djo-
kovics comeback bid to
win 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6,
6-2. PAGE1B

Property owners will face tougher restric-
tions if they want to build or substantially re-
model structures in high-risk flood zones, offi-
cials say.
Luzerne County Council
is set to adopt a zoning ordi-
nance amendment requiring
utility and property eleva-
tion for new construction
and banning mobile homes
and certain chemicals in ar-
eas identified as the most
flood-prone on federal flood
insurance maps.
Its becoming more re-
strictive. The move is for
safety and protection to
make it harder for people to
build in a flood plain, said county Planning/
Zoning Director Adrian Merolli.
The ordinance applies to 23 municipalities
that rely on the county for zoning, including
Duryea and Conyngham Township, which
bothexperiencedsevere flooding last Septem-
ber.
Municipalities that handle their ownzoning
must adopt similar zoning amendments to
comply with state and federal requirements,
Merolli said.
Ignoring the mandate could make munici-
palities ineligible for future federal and state
disaster aid and participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program, he said.
New rules effective Nov. 2
An estimated10,400 structures countywide
are in high-risk zones on flood insurance
maps. The total is expected to increase to
nearly12,000 when newmaps take effect Nov.
2, changing the boundary lines.
The countys zoning amendment says no
new construction is allowed 50 feet from the
top of a creek, stream or river bank.

PLYMOUTH Amanda Lu-

lieves her brother, Scott Luzet-
sky, was leaving Bonnies Bar
when gunfire erupted just be-
fore 2 a.m. Sunday.
Her brother
made it out-
side, where he
was fatally
shot trying to
escape. Anoth-
er victim, Ste-
phen Hollman,
was found crit-
ically injured on the bars floor
with a gunshot wound to his
head.
State police at Wyoming said
the alleged gunman, WilliamAl-
labaugh, 25, chased after anoth-
er patron, Mark Ktytor, who re-
moved his own weapon from a
holster and fired, striking Alla-
baugh twice in the abdomen. He
told investigators he fired four
shots at Allabaugh.
Ktytor, 35, of Plymouth, has a
permit to carry a concealed
weapon, state police said. He is
not expected to be charged.
My brother was a harmless
soul, Amanda Luzetsky said.
He was just aninnocent bystan-

Scene of chaos
A criminal complaint filed

Bar patrons told investigators
that Allabaugh, of 430 E. Main

Saturday night.
Sometime around 8 p.m., a

Several hours later, patrons

POLICE PROBE WILKES-BARRE SHOOTING
BILL TARUTIS/THE TIMES LEADER
W
ilkes-Barre police officers investigate the scene of an apparent shooting at 84-86 Hutson St. in
the city that occurred at about 7:30 p.m. Monday. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis said that it was too early in the investigation to say anything except that the victim was
alive as of late Monday evening. For the story, see Page 2A.
SCRANTON Testimony began
Monday in a $5 million medical mal-
practice lawsuit filed by an ex-Marine
who claims the Department of Veter-
ans Affairs Medical Center in Plains
Township failed to properly treat his
post traumatic stress disorder.
Stanley Laskowski and his wife, Ma-
risol, of Carbondale, allege the hospi-
tals negligence caused his symptoms
to worsen to the point they are irre-
versible, leaving him
100 percent disabled.
The hospital has
acknowledged medi-
cal staff deviated
from the standard of
care in treating Las-
kowski, but it con-
tends he is responsib-
le for his condition worsening because
he did not fully disclose his symp-
toms.
Laskowski, 34, was diagnosed with
severe post traumatic stress disorder
as a result of a several-month tour of
combat in Iraq in 2003. He is seeking
$2.5 million in lost earnings, and $2.5
million for emotional distress.
The non-jury trial before U.S. Dis-
trict Judge James Munley is expected
to last about a week.
In his opening statement, Dan Brier,
Laskowskis attorney, described how
Laskowski, who had a stellar service
record, began a slowspiral into mental
illness over a four-year period follow-
ing his discharge that ultimately led
him to break into a pharmacy to steal
pain medications.
Brier said Laskowski, who was
treated at the Plains Township VA
from April to August 2007, repeatedly
told medical staff his treatment was
not helping him overcome severe
nightmares, flashbacks, lack of sleep
and irritability.

NEW YORK The Sept. 11
anniversary ceremony at ground
zero has been stripped of politic-
ians this year. But can it ever be
stripped of politics?
For the first time, elected offi-
cials wont speak today y at an oc-
casion that has allowed them a
solemn turn in the spotlight. The
change was made in the name of
sideliningpolitics, but some have
rapped it as a political move in it-
self.
Its a sign of the entrenched
sensitivity of the politics of Sept.
11, even after a decade of com-
memorating the attacks that
killed nearly 3,000 people at the
World Trade Center, the Penta-
gon and a Pennsylvania field.
From the first anniversary in
2002, the date has been limned
with questions about how or
even whether to try to sepa-
rate the Sept. 11that is about per-
sonal loss from the 9/11 that re-
verberates through public life.
The answers are complicated
for Debra Burlingame, whose
brother Charles was the pilot of
the hijacked plane that crashed
into the Pentagon. She feels poli-
ticians involvement can lend
gravity to the remembrances, but
she empathizes with the reasons
for silencing officeholders at the
New York ceremony this year.

WORK BRINGS DELAYS ON CROSS VALLEY
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
T
raffic backs up Monday evening as it enters the construction zone on the Cross Val-
ley Expressway southbound between exits 2 and 3. There is a single lane closure on
the expressway between the Wilkes Barre/Plains River Street exit and the Wilkes Barre
Center City exit to complete repairs on the bridge over the Susquehanna River. This
work was originally being conducted at night, however, low temperatures overnight are
preventing the polycarb material from properly setting. This work will take place from10
a.m. to 10 p.m. through Saturday. PennDOT says major delays are expected, especially
during the afternoon rush hour. Motorists should seek alternate routes, if possible.
Former Lackawanna County
Commissioner A.J. Munchak has
asked a federal appellate court to
overturn his corruption convic-
tion, arguing the trial judge in-
structedthejurytousethewrong
standard in deciding whether
Munchak was guilty of extortion
and bribery counts.
The appeal, filed with the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals,
also argues U.S. District Judge A.
Richard Caputo improperly de-
termined Munchak had obstruct-
ed justice by having contact with
several witnesses inthe trial. The
finding increased his potential
sentence.
Munchak and former Commis-
sioner Robert Cordaro were con-
victed in June 2011 of numerous
corruption counts. Prosecutors
said the men demanded money
from companies that did busi-
ness with Lackawanna County
during their tenure as majority
commissioners.
Cordaro also is appealing his
conviction. The legal brief in sup-
port of his appeal, which was due
Friday, was not publicly available
through the courts website as of
Monday.
Munchak, who was sentenced
to seven years in prison, was con-
victed of charges related to pay-
ments that were made by High-
land Associates, an architectural
firm. Thebulkof his appeal focus-
es on Caputos instruction to the
jury regarding the elements
needed to convict.
Munchaks attorneys, Lisa
Mathewson and Christopher Po-
well, argue the judge erred when
he instructed jurors they did not
have to find Munchak actively ac-
cepted money in exchange for a
specific action. Instead, the judge
advised them they could convict
if they found he accepted pay-
ment knowing it was made be-
cause of his status as a public offi-
cial.
The ability to take the official
action is not the same as the offi-
cial action itself, the attorneys
said.
The attorneys also dispute Ca-
putos finding that Munchak con-
tacted three witnesses in the trial
with the intent to influence their
testimony. Munchak acknowl-
edged he spoke to the witnesses,
but maintains he was not trying
to influence them.

County jury was selected Mon-
day to hear the case of a Dallas
man charged with homicide by
motor vehicle while driving un-
der the influence.

en will hear the case against

cutors say is responsible for the

year-old Denise Polinchak, of

The jury was selected from a
potential 50 jurors over an ap-
proximately four-hour period.
Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr.
said the trial will begin with

ing, followedby testimony inthe
case.
The trial is expected to last

resented by attorneys Tom Mar-
silio and Larry Kansky.
Assistant district attorneys
ShannonCrakeandRebeccaRei-
miller are prosecuting. They are
expectedtocall more thana doz-
en witnesses.
Wickham also faces an addi-
tional two counts of driving un-
der the influence. Polinchak was
having her vehicle towed by
Wickhambecause of brake prob-
lems outside the Social Security
Administration building on East
Mountain Road on March 7, ac-
cording to court documents.
Wickham was in the drivers
seat of Polinchaks car with the
door open when the vehicle ac-
celerated. The open door struck
Polinchak, accordingtoprosecu-
tors, knocking her to the pave-
ment.
Polinchak died at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center
later that day. Her death was
ruled a homicide.
Prosecutors allege Wickham
drank three 24-ounce cans of
beer before being dispatched by
his employer, Herberts Towing,
through AAA Mid-Atlantic, to
Polinchaks vehicle.

WARRIOR RUN --Council on
Monday passed one resolution
that officially appointed Berk-
heimer Associates as the bor-
oughs collector for earned in-
come tax.
It passeda secondordinance to
authorize Berkheimer to collect
delinquent taxes. This ends the
boroughs relationship with the
troubled Centax/Don Wilkinson
Agency.
Upset residents reported that
loud parties lasting well into the
night have been taking place at
the Warrior Run Volunteer Fire
Company building on Saturday
nights. One resident said the am-
plified bass of the music being
played kept her awake until 2:30
a.m. last Saturday. Several resi-
dents reported groups of unat-
tended children wandering
around the building late that
night.
According to council mem-
bers, the fire department rents
out the building to raise funds.
Residents asked the council
and Chief William Shultz of the
Nanticoke Police Department
what could be done about the
parties. Warrior Run contracts
with the Nanticoke for law en-
forcement services.
Shultz advised residents to call
911 directly rather than call the
police department and leave a
message. He also said he would
call the volunteer fire company
leadership to discuss the prob-
lem.
In other matters:
Mayor JimBrodginski told as-
sembled residents that the bor-
ough is actively seeking a cross-
ing guard to help children cross
the street in the mornings and in
the afternoons at the busy inter-
section of Front Street and Ha-
nover Street.

Mynes complained about grown
men using equipment intended
for small children at the borough
park.

HAZLE TWP. The township
tabled an ordinance on Monday
night directing the attachment of
a fee to any signs placed within
the township, following a public
hearing.
Ian Lipton, president of Nath-
ans Furniture Store, said the
company uses signage as its main
advertising vehicle. Lipton said
that at the cost of $10 per sign,
the proposed ordinance would
cost him more than $1,500 per
month, putting an unreasonable
burden on Nathans.
He said the store employed 15
area residents who spent money
within the community.
Solicitor Charles Pedri sug-
gested the ordinance be tabled to
provide an opportunity for fur-
ther discussion of that matter.
Supervisors William Gallagher
and Andy Benyo both voted in fa-
vor of the action to table. Super-
visor Francis Boyarski did not at-
tend.
In other matters:
Council awarded Franzosa

19th and 20th streets. Franzosa
was the low bidder, bidding
$109,807for19thStreet workand
$95,764 for work done on 20th
Street. Resident RichardWiench-
es asked that any change orders
to this or any township projects
be made public in a timely way.
Paul and Angie Romanick,
Palance Avenue, complained
about water run-off froma neigh-
bors property. Pedri said he was
reviewing an engineering report

WRIGHT TWP. Residents
will soon be able to mix recycla-
bles together as part of a new
agreement with Northeast Car-
tage Inc. approved at Monday
nights meeting.
Township supervisors sought
bids from four contractors,
Waste Management Inc.., Solo-
mon Container Service, Masca-
ro and Sons and Northeast Car-
tage.
Northeast bid lowest consid-
ering rebates for the recyclables
Northeast will be able to sell.
Supervisor Donald Zampetti
hesitated before his vote made
the decisionunanimous, indicat-
inghe was worriedabout hidden
fees.
Weve worked with them in
the past As long as the con-
tract spells out no other hidden
fees, then yes, Zampetti said.
According to the bid, North-
east is to charge $160 weekly for
twolarge Dumpsters, plus anad-
ditional $11 for a small Dump-
ster to hold waste from the park
and municipal building. The
company will then pay to the
township $25 per ton of recycla-
ble material collected from the
Dumpsters.
Public Works Director Louis
Welebob said the Waste Man-
agements contract is to expire
Oct. 1, and the two Dumpsters
from Northeast should be in
place by then.
He said some item types are
prohibited, but generally speak-
ing, paper, including newspa-
pers, junk mail and magazines
may be mixed in with glass and
plastics of all grades as part of
the new single-stream program.
Cardboard, aluminum and tin
are not permitted in the single-
stream Dumpsters.
In other another matter, four
residents brought complaints of
run-off water damaging their
property. Welebob addressed
each one.
He said after the meeting that
most of the complaints are no
surprise. He said dealing with
theproblems is beingaffectedby
a number of issues that need to

WILKES-BARRE City po-
lice are investigating a shooting
early Monday evening on Hut-
son Street.
Luzerne County District At-
torneyStefanieSalavantis saidit
is still too early in the investiga-
tion to say anything other than
the shooting victim was still
alive as of 10 p.m.
A Luzerne County 911 super-
visor said a call came in just be-
fore 7:30 p.m. reporting that one
personwas shot at 86 HutsonSt.
Neighbors said the victim is
male and that he apparently was
shot on the porch of a neighbor
who lives across the street.
He was yelling, Ive been
shot. Ive been shot in the heart.
Imdying. Somebody please call
the cops, said Christina Wick-
ham, who lives at the corner of
Hutson and Dana streets, just a
few houses away from scene of
the shooting.
Wickham said a female resi-
dent at 86 Hutson St. was say-
ingthat it was anaccident, it was
an accident. She was yelling,
Oh, my God, Christian, oh, my
God, are you OK? Is he going to
be OK? I guess the brother and
whoever was down there said he
was turning blue, Wickham
said.
Wickham said she heard the
victims brother screaming into
a cellphone, demanding that
somebody get here andget here
fast, that his brothers been
shot.
Wickham said she was mak-
ing dinner when she heard the
screaming from her kitchen.
John Dupras, Wickhams
brother-in-law, said the area has
become unsafe.
Its a shame tosee this kindof
stuff happen.
Wickham said her landlord
told her it was a great neighbor-
hood when she moved in four
years ago.
Then we had a murder right
across the street last year, she
said.
The Monday night shooting
also occurred less than three
blocks from 117 Hill St., where,
police allege, 14-year-old Tyler
Winstead was accidentally shot
by his friend, 14-year-old Elijah
Yusiff, on April 5. Yusiff was
charged with an undisclosed of-
fense in May.

Kings recognized again
For the third consecutive year,
Kings College has been recognized
as among the best masters degree
granting institutions in the country
in a national ranking which recog-
nizes colleges and universities for
service to the community and social
mobility of the student body.
The rankings appear in the Sep-
tember/October issue of Washing-
ton Monthly mag-
azine as part of a
cover story titled
2012 College
Rankings: A Differ-
ent Kind of College
Ranking. The
rankings were
based on three
evenly weighted selection criteria;
social mobility, service and research.
Kings ranked in the top fifth --
138th -- of almost 700 masters uni-
versities in the United States in the
rankings and placed seventh in Penn-
sylvania. Kings and the University of
Scranton (187th) were the only local
institutions ranked in the top 200.

SCRANTON An insurance compa-
ny has filed a federal lawsuit that seeks
to rescind a policy that covered direc-
tors of First National Community Bank
of Dunmore, alleging they concealed
negative information, including a self-
serving loan to former Luzerne County
Judge Michael Conahan, in order to ob-
tain coverage.
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Ma-
ryland claims current and former bank
directors engaged in a wide range of im-
proper activity, including concealing in-
formation about investigations into the
bank and the amount
of its financial losses,
to entice the firm to
provide coverage.
The complaint
highlights a more
than $800,000 loan to
Conahan, who had
served on the banks
board, for a condomi-
niuminFlorida that federal prosecutors
say was used to launder kickbacks Co-
nahan received as part of the kids for
cash scandal. The loan is now in de-
fault.
The directors of the bank, which was
once controlled by entrepreneur Louis
DeNaples, were aware the self-deal-
ing loan to Conahan was under investi-
gation by federal authorities, which is-
sued a subpoena to FNCB in 2010.
The bank failed to reveal that infor-
mation to Fidelity in its application
seeking coverage, the suit alleges.
The board lent money to its own
members under relaxed standards and
a material portion of those loans are not
in default or otherwise distressed, the
suit says.
The suit also cites the banks failure
to reveal investigations by the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission and Of-
fice of the Comptroller of the Currency,
and alleges the bank omitted key infor-
mation regarding the reasons behind
the resignations of several board mem-
bers.
The lawsuit, filed last week, was
prompted by a $10 million demand
made to Fidelity in August to settle a
lawsuit against FNCB by one its share-
holders, Lori Gray of Pottstown.
The Gray suit, filed in April, sought
to hold directors liable for millions of
dollars in losses FNCB incurred be-
tween 2009 and 2010. Grays attorney,
Joseph Solfanelli, on Monday said
those loses have now topped $70 mil-
lion.
Fidelitys suit asks a judge to allow it
to rescindthe insurance policy basedon
the false and misleading information
contained in the banks application.
Defendants were aware of the mis-
leading nature of their representation
and omissions and were actively con-
cealing this information from F&D in
order to not only obtain insurance cov-
erage but also to obtain enhanced cov-
erage, the suit says.
FNCB directors insurance focus of suit

engaged in improper activity.

ANTICOKE Pop
quiz: Which is stron-
ger, a soybean or plas-

Greater Nanticoke Area Ele-
mentary fourth-grader Taylor
Clements decided it was the
plaster, asdidseveral otherclass-
mates gathered in the Pennsyl-
vania Farm Bureaus Mobile Ag
Education Science Lab on Mon-
day, the start of a weeklong visit
that will let about 200 students
conduct three different experi-
ments by Friday.
I think plaster is stronger be-
cause you cant squeeze it, one
student told mobile lab teacher
Sarah Booth.
I think plaster is stronger because its a solid, another
chirped.
Well, scientificallyspeaking, sois a soybean, but as Boothtold
the27studentsinher secondclassof themorning, Thereisnev-
er, ever, ever a wrong hypothesis.
There is however, a scientific methodfor testinga hypothesis.
In this case, Booth walked the students through a five-step
process:
Put threetablespoonsof plasterof Parisinasmall waxpaper
cup;
Add one tablespoon of water;
Stirwithacraft stickuntil
it looks like a milkshake;
Dropfive soybeans inthe
mixture one at a time;
Usethesamecraftstickto
poke the beans and submerge
themin the plaster.
Andthe experiment proves
that the stronger of the two is

Not sofast. Boothswitched


gears and melted some bees-
wax into soybean oil, added a
little peppermint flavoring
and promised the students
they wouldeachget a little jar
of the end result: peppermint
flavoredlipbalmwitha tint of
honey in the scent.
The lab came to Nanticoke
courtesy of a grant worth
about $3,100. It will beparkednear thefootball stadiumall week,

WILKES-BARRE By the end of the
night, Meyers High School Senior Talon
Stoudlemyre proved prescient.
Of all theprograms youcouldcut, this
shouldbethepathof most resistance, he
told the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board
at ameetingcrammedwithsupporters of
the Meyers High School Speech and De-
bate team.
Having learned that the board had cut
$20,000 in annual support for the team
fromthis years budget a move officially
made in July the team had used tele-
phones, email, Facebook and Twitter to
urge past and present members and
coaches to attend the meeting. Team
coach Kim Borland said the effort began
a little after noon Monday. By 6 p.m.
more than 70 supporters crammed the
meeting room.
The board sat patiently as 25 support-
ers spoke with the eloquence expected
from a team that, in 15 years, can boast
multiple state championships and high
result in national competition.
I got afull ridetocollege, I wasrecruit-
edbecauseof mydebateexperience, for-
mer member Ted Kopec told the board.
You bring everything to this. Its part
of your life, teammember Christa Fran-
kiewicz said, adding that the teamis like
a family with the lead coaches Kimand
RuthBorlandas secondparents andthe
upper class members as big brothers
and big sisters.
Noting she was involved in sports ev-
ery season of the school year, Emily Lan-
gan said the speech and debate team
gives you more than other programs. It
gives you that feeling of belonging. It al-
so can result in higher SATscores, better
interviewskills and better job opportuni-
ties, she said.

STATE COLLEGE
PSU eyes renaming center
P
enn States trustees will consider
renaming a child care center named
for a retired administrator charged
with failing to report suspected child
abuse committed by Jerry Sandusky.
A discussion about renaming the
Gary Schultz Child Care Center is on
the agenda for the trustees meeting
scheduled for Friday in State College.
University spokesman David La
Torre told the Centre Daily Times of
State College that a name change is in
the best interests of families who use
the center.
Schultz, a former university vice
president, and athletic director Tim
Curley are charged with failing to re-
port suspected abuse and perjury in
connection with the Sandusky investi-
gation.
Late Penn State football coach Joe
Paternos name was removed from a
child care center on Nikes corporate
campus in July.

GoDaddy websites crash
Thousands and possibly millions of
web sites hosted by GoDaddy.com are
down. A hacker is claiming responsib-
ility, but the real reason for the outage
is unclear.
A Twitter feed allegedly affiliated
with the Anonymous hacker group
says its behind the outage, but another
Twitter account associated with Anon-
ymous says the first one is just taking
advantage of an outage it had nothing
to do with.
GoDaddy.com hosts more than 5
million websites, mostly for small
businesses.

Syria defector confident
Syrias most prominent defector said
in an interview that aired Monday that
he opposes any foreign military in-
tervention in the countrys civil war
and that he is confident the opposition
can topple President Bashar Assads
regime.
But Manaf Tlass, a Syrian general
who was the first member of Assads
inner circle to join the opposition, said
the rebels need weapons.
The Syrian people must not be
robbed of their victory, they must be
given support, aid, arms, Tlass said in
a recorded interview that aired Mon-
day on French television station BFM.
TRENTON, N.J.
Mayor of capital arrested
Federal agents arrested the mayor of
New Jerseys capital early Monday as
part of a corruption investigation, alleg-
ing he agreed to accept bribes in con-
nection with a proposed parking garage
actually a fake project created by
authorities trying to snare him.
Trenton Mayor Tony Mack, his
brother Ralphiel and convicted sex
offender Joseph Giorgianni, a Mack
supporter who owns a Trenton sand-
wich shop, were accused of conspiring
to obstruct, delay and affect interstate
commerce by extortion under color of
official right.
Federal prosecutors alleged Mack
agreed to use his influence in connec-
tion with a proposed parking garage in
the city. The garage was made up a
fake project created by investigators to
try to capture Mack, who has financial
problems and attracted legal scrutiny
since he took office.
A federal magistrate Monday or-
dered Mack released on an unsecured
$150,000 bond but ruled that he cannot
leave the state while free on bail. Mack
left the courthouse Monday without
commenting.

BAGRAM, Afghanistan U.S. offi-
cials handed over formal control of Af-
ghanistans only large-scale U.S.-run
prison to Kabul on Monday, even as dis-
agreements between the two countries
over the thousands of Taliban and ter-
ror suspects held there marred the
transfer.
The handover ceremony took place
at the prison next to a sprawling U.S.
airfield in Bagram, just north of Kabul.
President Hamid Karzai has called the
transfer a victory for Afghan sovereign-
ty.
Shortly after the handover ceremony,
a suicide bomber in the northern city of
Kunduz killed 15 people and wounded
another 25. The bombing came as a
stark reminder that the insurgency is
waging a ceaseless campaign against
the Afghan government and the U.S.-
led NATO military alliance, and that
many of those held in the prison have
been arrested for organizing such at-
tacks.
Enayatullah Khaliq, a spokesman for
the Kunduz provincial governor, said
the blast took place in the early after-
noon. He had no other details. Gover-
nor Mohammad Anwar said the bom-
ber was on foot and blew himself up
next to a group of police officers.
InBagram, Afghanofficials hailedthe
transfer of most of the facility and its
prisoners.
We are telling the Afghan president
and the Afghan people that today is a
proud day, said Afghan Army Gen.
Ghulam Farouk, who now heads the
prison.
Earlier this year, the prison gained
unwanted attention when hundreds of
Qurans and other religious materials
were taken fromits library and sent to a
burn pit at the military base. The event
triggered scores of deadly anti-Ameri-
can protests across Afghanistan; six
U.S. soldiers were killed during the vio-
lent demonstrations.
The U.S. recently suspended the
transfer of newdetainees apparentlybe-
cause of disagreements with Kabul,
which has questioned the long-termde-
tentionof suspects without charge after
their capture.
The U.S. reportedly fears that Afghan
authorities may simply let some detai-
nees go, and appears reluctant to turn
over all the suspects it holds.
Transfer of prison to Afghans marred
U.S. worried that government will
free Taliban, terrorism suspects.

MANSFIELD, Ohio Its all
about Ohio again.
The economy has improved
here, and so has President Ba-
rack Obamas standing, putting
pressure on Republican Mitt
Romney in a state critical to his
presidential hopes.
No Republican has won the
White House without winning
Ohio, and Romney hopes to
catch Obama here by slashing
at his jobs record in working-
class regions.
America doesnt have to
have the longface it has hadun-
der this president, the Repub-
lican shouted Monday to a
cheering audience in hard-
scrabble Mansfield, just weeks
after Obama visited. We can
get America rolling again,
growing again.
Republican vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan was cam-
paigning in the Appalachian
southeast Wednesday, after a
similar weekend trip by Vice
President Joe Biden, who is to
return to the state Wednesday.
Less than two months from
Election Day, both parties say
their internal campaign polling
shows Obama with a narrow
lead in Ohio, a Midwestern
state that offers 18 Electoral
Collegevotes andhas playedan
important role in determining
every recent White House race.
The candidates and support-
ive outside groups have spent a
stunning $112 million on TV
advertising in the state one-
sixth the total spent nation-
wide.
A Quinnipiac University poll
in April after Romney locked
up the Republican nomination
showed a 1-point race among
registered voters in the state.
But two recent polls Quinni-
piac/CBS/New York Times in
August and July showed
Obama up 6 percentage points
among likely voters, and reac-
hing 50 percent, a key marker
for an endangered incumbent.

CHICAGOFor the first time ina
quarter-century, thousands of Chica-
go teachers walked off the job Mon-
day, escalating a bitter contract dis-
pute over evaluations and job securi-
ty andforcing parents toscramble for
somewhere to send idle children.
Both sides went back to the bar-
gaining table around midday, hours
after thewalkout beganwhenthetwo
sides failed to agree on a contract be-
fore a midnight deadline. The strike
affected nearly 400,000 public school
students and their families in the na-
tions third-largest district.
While negotiators said they had
made progress on salary and a longer
school day, they remained divided on
a host of other issues.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
pushed to end the confrontation
quickly. He repeatedly said negotia-
tors were within reach of a deal and
that the strike was unnecessary. The
mayor acknowledged tensions with
union over longstanding issues, but
urged a quick resolution.
Dont take it out on the kids of
Chicago if you have a problem with
me, Emanuel said Monday at one of
the churches that is serving as a gath-
ering spot for students during the
strike.
About 26,000teachers andsupport
staff were expected to join the picket
line, and events were planned all day
long. At Paul Robeson High School
on the citys South Side, two dozen
teachers wearing red shirts chanted
and carried signs saying On Strike
For Better Schools.
Theres been a large disinvest-
ment in neighborhood public
schools, said Jeremy Peters, whos
taught civics and U.S. history for a
decade. Its an absolute debacle.
Union leaders and district officials
were not far apart in their negotia-
tions on compensation, Chicago
Teachers Union President Karen Le-
wis said. But other issues includ-
ing potential changes to health bene-
fits and a newteacher evaluation sys-
tem based partly on students stan-
dardized test scores remained
unresolved, she said.

HUGHESTOWN -- Borough
Mayor Paul Hindmarsh and sev-
eral members of the council ex-
pressed their hopes that tax reve-
nue payments will be received at
a muchquicker pace nowthat the
Berkheimer Associates tax col-
lectionagency has takenover dis-
tribution.
Like every other governing
bodyinLuzerneCounty, Hughes-
town was required to utilize the
Centax/Don Wilkinson Agency
for earned income and local ser-
vices tax purposes. Berkheimer
took over the accounts after Cen-
tax announced in August it was
going out of business.
We hope that Berkheimer can
get the ball rolling and have the
money to us by the end of the
year sothat wecanstart next year
off on a better note, Hindmarsh
said.
He said that most county mu-
nicipalities are in the same pre-
dicament, but he contended that
delays in Hughstowns reception
of tax revenue would likely be
longer given the boroughs small
size.
The roughly 1-square-mile bor-
ough has fewer than 2,000 resi-
dents.
Council member Marie Gri-
glock, who also sat on the Lu-
zerne County Tax Collection
Committee, shared Hindmarshs
optimismand said she supported
Berkheimer from the commit-
tees inception.
Despite the change to Berk-
heimer, Hughestown has not
seen any drastic increase in the
tax revenue that it is owed. Hind-
marsh estimated that Wilkinson
gave the borough roughly a third
of what it would have otherwise
received from Berkheimer in a
similar amount of time in prior
years.
He said the borough may have
to seek out a promissory note to
cover some costs by the end of
the year as the borough was al-
ready operating on an excessive-
ly conservative budget.
We have nothing else that we
can cut, Hindmarsh said.

Police in Wilkes-Barre and Ha-
nover Township reported sepa-
rate burglaries that occurred in-
side occupied homes in the past
two days.
In Wilkes-Barre, police are
searching for two men who
broke into a home at 81 S. Han-
cock St. around 4 a.m. Monday.
The victim, Latisha Moore,
told police she was in bed when
she was awakened by a light-
skinned black male who placed
his hand over her face and de-
manded she tell him where she
kept money and a gun.
A second male, whose race is
unknown, then checked hall
closets until he found cash and a
.38 caliber revolver. The men
fled the scene prior to police be-
ing called.
In Hanover Township, police
arrested Thomas Charles Witter
of East Newport Street, Hanover
Township, after he allegedly
broke into 386 Phillips St. at
around 5:30 a.m. Sunday.
According to an arrest affida-
vit, the homes resident, Joseph
Mirra, told police he awoke to
noises downstairs and saw
someone openhis bedroomdoor
andlookat him. Mirrayelledand
the manfledthe home carryinga
42-inch television.
Mirra chased Witter, who
dropped the television and fled
the area toward Fellows Avenue.
An Ashley police officer re-
sponding to a request for backup
came upon Witter as he walked
on Fellows Avenue near Cohens
scrap yard. Witter, who had a
knife in his pocket, refused or-
ders to take his hand out of his
pocket and was subdued by a
Taser.
Police recovered a black bag
carried by Witter that contained
a DVDplayer, Sony game system
and numerous DVDs that be-
longed to Mirra.
Witter was arraigned before
District Judge Joseph Carmody
on charges of burglary, criminal
trespass, theft by unlawful tak-
ing, receiving stolen property
and several other offenses. He
was takentotheLuzerneCounty
Correctional Facility for lack of
$20,000 bail.

DORRANCE TWP. The
board of supervisors announced
Mondaythat $20,863has beenre-
ceived for damage resulting from
the flood of 2011, with the bulk of
money earmarked for road re-
pairs.
The funding came via the Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency and the Pennsylvania
Emergency Management Agen-
cy. Township officials said, be-
sides several other projects, fore-
most is work on Small Mountain
Road and George Road.
The supervisors also voted
unanimously to award a $2,732
contract to C-K Alarm Systems
for the installation of a video re-
corder and cameras in order to
upgrade security at township
properties.
In other matters:
It was stated that Berkheim-
er Associates will be collecting
the earned income tax, succeed-
ing Centax/Don Wilkinson
Agency, startinginthethirdquar-
ter of this year.
A motion was approved to
solicit bids for a newheating sys-
tem for the municipal building.
Alan Snelson, zoning and
codes officer, reported receipts of

sister Gabrielle Richards, who is
attending St. Joseph University
on a $20,000 scholarship for
speech and debate. Volunteer
coach Tina Rothery noted the
irony that the scholarship was
the same amount as the board
cut.
The accolades went on for 90
minutes, winning the support of
the only two people who had
come to address other issues.
As a parent I am truly im-
pressed, Michelle Waslaskytold
the students after making a brief
presentation regarding a possi-
ble storage shed for field hockey.
Tome, its a nobrainer, Brian
Grohowski added after asking
the board to wave the fee for use
of a district stadium for a fun-
draising event.
Yet when board members
started to speak they found
themselves frequently interrupt-
ed and sometimes nearly shout-
ed down. Kim and Ruth Borland
questioned why they were not
notified that the funding had
been cut, and President Ma-
ryanne Toole and InterimSuper-
intendent Bernard Prevuznak
expressed surprise that the
message had not been relayed.
Prevuznak offered to meet with
representatives of the team and
discuss the budget and look for
solutions. The Borlands pushed
for a more immediate decision.
Kim Borland noted the team
spends more than$60,000a year,
most of it made through fund
raisers and donations, and that
the districts $20,000 was less
than one-third of the teams bud-
get. He and others also stressed
the team uses no district re-
sources and currently serves 47
members with an all-volunteer
coaching and support staff. He
questioned why the districts en-
tire contribution was defunded
while other programs seemed
unscathed.
Board members debated the
point, and questioned why no
one from the team sat in on nu-
merous public budget meetings
that led to the defunding deci-
sion as the district struggled
with a $6 million shortfall. But
the discussion increasingly
lapsed into cacophony, prompt-
ingafrustratedTooletogavel the
debate to anend fulfilling Stou-
dlemyres unintended prophecy
and cleared the room.
The board then adjourned
without addressing any agenda
item. Toole said a special meet-
ing will have to be scheduled.

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- Options for pro-
viding snowplowing services to the White
Haven/Poconos area were discussed when
the supervisors met Monday.
The board discussed several options for
providing the service to the area at the far
edge of the township, including ways to
fund a replacement snowplow that is nec-
essary to adequately handle all township
roads.
Supervisor Jim Smith noted he cant
pursue grant funding until the truck is pur-
chased, and the supervisors said they are
still wading through confusing proposals
that are supposed to be for the same truck
but arent as simple as apples to apples.
Even if the plow is ordered immediately,
it wouldnt arrive until near the end of the
season, so supervisors said they will solicit
bids for an outside contractor to plow and
salt the White Haven/Poconos area for
this year, and supervisors indicated they
could consider this a trial for using an out-
side contractor on a more permanent ba-
sis.
They also discussed adding a storage
building for salt and equipment to a fire
station in the area so that trucks dont have
to travel from the main township garage
each storm.
The board also reviewed a newrecycling
report that will become a quarterly part of
their monthly meeting agendas.
The inaugural report showed the town-
ship netted only a $27 profit for the first
half of the year for a program that recycles
paper, plastics, bi-metal and aluminum
cans, glass, cardboard, clothing, motor oil
and antifreeze.
Supervisors and residents agreed the
program is a success.
Were making a little money and were
keeping a lot of stuff out of the landfill,
said Chairman Gary Zingaretti.
In other business, the board approved
the purchase of fuel oil from low bidder
Button Oil of Mountain Top at a cost of
$3.449 for the period from September
through December 2012.
The bid was made jointly with the Bear
Creek Charter School and Bear Creek
Foundation to garner better pricing, su-
pervisors said. Smith said the bid process
will have to be repeated in November be-
cause vendors were unwilling to lock in
pricing for longer than 90 days in this vola-
tile fuel oil market.
The board also authorized the road de-
partment to move a recently placed speed
bump fromone side of Golf Course Road to
the other after resident Willard Kresge re-
ported that motorists are simply slalom-
ing around the speed bumps instead of
slowing down.
The move will eliminate the open space
that allowed motorists to dodge the speed
bumps, supervisors explained.

You will not see either candidate
this fall making popcorn a major
issue on the campaign trail.
Richard McKenzie
A retired professor of economics and management,
who authored a book titled Why Popcorn Costs So
Much at the Movies, and Other Pricing Puzzles, recently noted the
federal government carries a $16 trillion debt yet subsidizes the
promotion of U.S. popcorn in other nations. Critics question whether
taxpayer money should be used to bolster a snack-food industry that
already seems robust at home and abroad.
Pa. resident deserving
of Medal of Freedom
D
uring 2010, former co-workers of Ray
Brachman, of Wynnewood, nominated
him for the Presidential Medal of Free-
dom award. This is the countrys highest
civilian honor. It is bestowed on those
people who made an especially merito-
rious contribution to the security or na-
tional interests of the United States .
The 2010 awards were given to well-
known people such as President George
H.W. Bush, Warren Buffett and Stan Mu-
sial, among others. It is time for the medal
to be given to a lesser-known person who
performed equally meritorious service.
At Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia,
Brachman was responsible for the design,
development and fielding of the first mil-
itarized digital computer to be given to the
troops. The computer was called FADAC
(Field Artillery Digital Automatic Comput-
er).
First deployed in 1961, more than 1,000
FADACs eventually were fielded. To say
the least, FADACs design was ahead of its
time. This allowed the Army to take full
advantage of its capabilities for 25 years, a
record of which Bill Gates and the late
Steve Jobs probably would be jealous.
Since that time, I contacted then U.S.
Rep. Paul Kanjorskis office and U.S. Rep.
Lou Barlettas office to check the status of
the nomination. What I got back was zilch.
So much for government of the people.

Salute Sept. 1 1 by doing
good deeds for others
I
salute those fine U.S. citizens who will
participate in MyGoodDeed.org. This
nonprofit organization fosters the idea of
marking 9/11 Day each year with char-
itable service. Last year, about 33 million
people were estimated to have taken part
in this meaningful event.
Will you do a good deed today? I hope
that you do, but I would like to think that
we conduct our lives not by one desig-
nated yearly good deed but by a myriad
of actions on a daily basis. Each day is an
opportunity to share compassion, generos-
ity and love of our fellow man quietly and
in a humble manner.
If you happen, by chance, to miss the
actual 9/11 target date for your service, or
perhaps want to add to it, please consider
donating blood on Thursday at the Tho-
mas Saxton Medical Pavilion, Edwards-
ville. Every 56 days, you have the opportu-
nity to donate blood. I can think of no
better way to show youre proud-to-be-an-
American spirit than by helping to save the
lives of fellow citizens in need of blood
transfusions. Donation hours run from
noon to 6 p.m., making it convenient even
for those people who work or have other
obligations during the day.
There also will be a collection box set up
for donations to our deployed troops. Fre-
quently requested items include packaged
water flavorings, moist wipes, nuts, pack-
aged cookies and crackers, toothbrushes,
and puzzle books. No chocolate or foods
containing pork, please.
Can we count on your blood donation?
You never know when the person needing
that blood transfusion might be you or a
loved one.
God bless us every one, and God bless
America and our brave service men and
women.

TODAY IS the 11th anni-
versary of 9/11. And three
months later, we will mark
the 71st anniversary of the
Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. The two worst at-
tacks on American soil each
resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths and led the
nation to war. Still, given the passage of time,
Dec. 7 will be noted with minimal, if any,
reverence by most Americans, and, despite
little more than a decade having lapsed since
9/11, already some memories are fading too
fast.
How else to explain a recent New York Post
article detailing how some visitors are treat-
ing the National September 11 Memorial in
Manhattan as a playground. The Post re-
ported that tourists balance coffee cups and
soda bottles on the parapets bearing the
names of the dead. Parents hoist their chil-
dren to sit on the bronze plaques, while other
visitors splash water from the two waterfalls
onto their faces to cool themselves on a hot
summer day. On the plaza, tourists break out
lunch foods and lie on their backs.
That behavior is appalling. Those who
would picnic in a graveyard disrespect not
only the lives that were lost on that sacred
ground, but also those soldiers still in harms
way as a result of the events that gave rise to
that memorial. But such behavior is in keep-
ing with a pattern.
Despite the best of intentions, too often we
do forget too soon.
April 19 marked the 17th anniversary of the
Oklahoma City bombing, the day on which
168 innocents, including 19 children, lost their
lives.
One day later, April 20, was the 13th anni-
versary of the Columbine school shootings, in
which 12 students and one teacher were mur-
dered by two students who then killed them-
selves.
In Philadelphia, May 13 marked the 27th
anniversary of the MOVE conflagration that
claimed the lives of 11 people, five of them
children.
Ever heard of Harold Unruh? Wednesday
was the 63rd anniversary of the day Unruh
murdered 13 of his neighbors in Camden, N.J.
And come Nov. 22, the nation will mark the
49th anniversary of the assassination of Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy.
Each of these was a monumental day based
on tragedy, but for how many of them do we
now pause? All were events that were the
news for a period of months, and, in every
instance, there was grieving accompanied by
the refrain of never forget. But life does go
on. And when witnesses and loved ones of the
victims die and memories fade, the challenge
of remembering grows more difficult.
Ensuring that Sept. 11 stands apart will
require community and individual action.
Over the weekend, churches should have
noted the pending anniversary.
Today, 9/11 should be part of every schools
lesson plan.
Employers should find a way of noting the
occasion, in keeping with the decorum of the
workplace.
Flags should, of course, be flown at half-
staff.
And the media must keep showing the
harrowing footage of the airplanes hitting the
Twin Towers. More than anything else, if that
presentation were shown with more regu-
larity beyond just the anniversary newsreels
it would go a long way toward keeping us
ever mindful of what transpired 11 years ago.
Most important, at dinner tables across
America, tonight needs to be a time for par-
ents to share with their children the perspec-
tive of where they were 11 years ago, what
happened to the nation and with what conse-
quence.
We wont forget. But unless we take these
measures and more, those who follow us will.

Inquirer. Readers may contact him via www.smer-

COMMENTARY
M I C H A E L S M E R C O N I S H
T
HE INSTITUTE of
Medicine has com-
pleted a review of the
nations health care
system, and heres the frighten-
ing diagnosis: Nearly $750 bil-
lion a year is wasted on unnec-
essary care, excessive adminis-
trative costs, fraud, duplication
and poor communication.
The institutes conclusions
might not be surprising to any-
one who has had to reschedule
an appointment because tests
results were not available or to
repeat a procedure in order to
get accurate data. In fact, the
groups study foundthat 20 per-
cent of patients experienced
the former and 25 percent the
latter.
But the sheer volume of
waste a sum equivalent to
nearly 30 cents on every dollar
spent on medical care de-
mands a comprehensive, de-
tailed response. As a nation, we
cant afford to keep throwing
that much money away.
Hospitals, healthcare organi-
zations, doctors and other pro-
viders must use electronic re-
cord-keepingtomanagepatient
care and financial information.
The medical industry must im-
prove and speed up the process
of translating the latest clinical
studies into direct care for pa-
tients. And input from patients
and their families is vital, in-
cluding discussions of the cost
of care. Coordination is key.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
OTHER OPINION: U.S. HEALTH CARE
$750B wasted?
Thats sickening
F
IREFIGHTERS ARE NOT supposed to weep.
We know that, just as we know that two steel build-
ings identical 110-story towers teeming with public
servants, secretaries and financiers are not supposed
to evaporate, jetliners are not supposed to double as torpedoes,
rising ash shouldnt blot the morning sun, bodies shouldnt cas-
cade from the sky like falling acorns while horrified observers
beg God to suspend gravity, Americans shouldnt glance upward
all afternoon and wonder where the fifth plane is or for how
long the heavens will stay so silent and so empty, a child should
not be told that Daddy wont be coming home tonight. Or ever
again.
It goes against all expectation.
The terrorist attacks against the United States 11 years ago
today threwmuchof what we thought possible, andpreventable,
into question. More than a decade on, we continue to wrestle
with the consequences: historical and human.
Our lives their lives were not supposed to be interrupted
this way, by hateful acts executed with improbable precision and
results still difficult to believe. It seemed then, as it seems now,
unreal.
AsouthwesternPennsylvania fieldis not supposedtobe a spot
where we praise the dead who stopped our nightmare from in-
tensifying. Acharred cellphone shouldnt be the centerpiece of a
museumexhibit. Thesight of anazureSeptember skyshouldnot
leave us, if only for an instant, unnerved. But it does.
And, on this calendar date especially, we are not supposed to
forget why.

The developer of Forest
Heights in Duryea is seeking
the Luzerne County Planning
Commissions approval for an
unusual request to reduce the
number of structures it builds
on more than 9 acres of the 17-
acre development.
CCON Development con-
structed several townhomes at
Forest Heights and had approv-
al to build more on 91 lots.
Instead, company president
Gary Grossman wants to use
that spacefor morethan40one-
story, single homes geared to
people who want to live inde-
pendently as they age.
We believe the way the mar-
ket has changed, theres a limit-
ed appetite for townhomes. We
also know there is a great, un-
served need in the Luzerne
County market for cost-effec-
tive, properly designed homes
for aging-in-place citizens,
Grossman said.
He plans two-bedroom cot-
tages with one-car garages list-
ed well under $200,000. Resi-
dents of the gated community
have access to a community
building and swimming pool,
and a homeowner fee also
would cover snow removal and
lawn maintenance, he said.
Officials have praised the de-
velopment off Foote Avenue,
which launched in 2006, be-
cause it sits on former, blighted
coal lands.
The planning commission
will hold a public hearing on
the request at 2 p.m. Thursday
inthe courthouse council meet-
ing room.
Hildebrandt Leasing, a sub-
sidiaryof Hildebrandt Learning
Centers, is asking the planning
commission to approve a 2,189-
square-foot additionat its head-
quarters off Lt. Michael Cleary
Drive in Dallas Township.
Hildebrandt Learning, which
operates 44 child-care centers
for companies and higher-edu-
cation institutions in three
states, is running out of space
at the Dallas location and plans
to add up to nine more employ-
ees, said company Chief Exec-
utive Officer William Grant.
The company employs about
1,000, including 14 workers at
the Dallas property, he said.
Construction of the expansion
should start this spring if ap-
provals are granted, Grant said.

gun.
Allabaugh became upset, and
yelled he did not have any weap-
ons.
Seconds later, the bartender
allegedly observed Allabaugh
raising his arm and heard a
pop before seeing Hollman
fall to the floor.
Allabaugh ran outside and pa-
trons heard multiple shots, the
complaint says.
Ktytor told investigators he
arrived at the bar with his girl-
friend and a friend at about
11:30 p.m. Saturday. Ktytor was
talking to Wallace when he
heard a pop and patrons yell-
ing someone had been shot.
Ktytor went outside as Wal-
lace was saying, Theres the
shooter, pointing at Allabaugh
standing in the middle of East
MainStreet, the complaint says.
Allabaugh allegedly fired
more rounds forcing Ktytor and
others to take cover behind
parked vehicles. Allabaugh be-
gan walking back to the bar as
Ktytor and Wallace walked
away hiding behind cars along
the street.
Ktytor told investigators he
removed his gun and fired four
rounds whenAllabaughalleged-
ly aimed the gun at him, accord-
ing to the complaint.
Police found a bloody Alla-
baugh lying face up in a parking
lot near the bar.
An autopsy Monday by foren-
sic pathologist Dr. Gary Ross re-
vealed Luzetsky, 39, died from
multiple gunshot wounds. His
death was ruled a homicide.
Hollman, 29, of East Main
Street, Plymouth, remained in
critical condition Monday at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center in Plains Town-
ship. Allabaugh is also listed in
critical condition at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley.

ing several memorial messages
on the sidewalk next to the tav-
ern.
He wasnt involved in any of
the violence or the shooting,
Amanda Luzetsky said. He was
trying to leave when the trouble
started and he got caught up in
the mix.
State police charged Alla-
baugh, who was recently dis-
charged fromthe U.S. Air Force,
with criminal homicide and
criminal attempt to commit
homicide. He underwent sur-
gery Monday and is expected to
be arraigned on the charges at a
later date.
I hope he survives and he
rots in a cell for the rest of his
life knowing what he did to our
family, Amanda Luzetsky said.
My brother was walking home,
he was a harmless soul.
Two women who were smok-
ing cigarettes on the front porch
of Ktytors Vine Street home
and refused to identify them-

EDWARD LEWIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Amanda Luzetsky writes a memorial to her slain brother Scott on
the sidewalk Monday in Plymouth.
days a year, where, when we in-
voke the term 9/11, we mean
the people who died and the
events that happened, rather
than the political and cultural
layers the phrase has accumulat-
ed, said Burlingame, whos on
the board of the organization
that announced the change in
plans this year.
So I think the idea that its
even controversial that politic-
ians wouldnt be speaking is re-
ally rather remarkable.
Remarkable, perhaps, but a
glimpse through the political
prism that splits so much sur-
rounding Sept. 11 into different
lights.
Officeholders from the mayor
to presidents have been heard at
the New York ceremony, read-
ing texts ranging from parts of
the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Gettysburg Ad-
dress to poems by John Donne
and Langston Hughes.
But in July, the National Sept.
11Memorial and Museumled
by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as
its board chairman an-
nounced that this years version
would include only relatives
reading victims names. Politic-
ians still may attend.
The point, memorial Presi-
dent Joe Daniels said, was hon-
oring the victims and their fam-
ilies in a way free of politics in
an election year.
You always want to change,
Bloomberg said in a radio inter-
view in July, ... and I think itll
be very moving.
Some victims relatives and
commentators praised the deci-
sion. It is time to extricate
Sept. 11 from politics, the Bos-
ton Globe wrote in an editorial.
But others said keeping poli-
ticians off the rostrum smacked
of ... politics.
The move came amid friction
between the memorial founda-
tion and the governors of New
York and New Jersey over pro-
gress on the memorial museum.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,
a Democrat, and New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie, a Republi-
can, have signaled their displea-
sure by calling on federal offi-
cials to give the memorial a fi-
nancial and technical hand.
Some victims relatives see
the no-politicians anniversary
ceremony as retaliation. Both
states governors have tradition-
ally been invited to participate.
Banning the governors of
New York and New Jersey from
speaking is the ultimate politi-
cal decision, said one relatives
group, led by retired Deputy
Fire Chief Jim Riches. His fire-
fighter son and namesake was
killed responding to the burning
World Trade Center.
To Riches, political leaders
presence shows a nations re-
spect and recognizes their role
in passing laws that aided vic-
tims families and people sick-
ened by working at ground zero.
Spokesmen for Christie and
Cuomo said the governors were
fine with the memorial organiz-
ers decision.
For former NewYork Gov. Ge-
orge Pataki, the change ends a
10-year experience that was
deeply personal even as it re-
flected his political role. He was
governor at the time of the at-
tacks.
As the names are read out, I
just listen and have great memo-
ries of people who I knew very
well who were on that list of
names. It was very emotional,
Pataki reflected by phone last
week. Among his friends who
were killed was Neil Levin, the
executive director of the Port
Authority of New York and New
Jersey.
But Pataki supports the deci-
sion not to have government fig-
ures speak.
ANNIVERSARY
Continued from Page 1A
Structures built or substan-
tially improved after the
amendments passage also
must:
Elevate utilities and en-
closed living space, including
finished usable basements, at
least 1.5 feet above the base
flood elevation.
The base flood elevation is
the computed height floodwa-
ter is projected to rise during a
base flood, which is used as
the standard for flood insur-
ance maps. A base flood, also
known as a 100-year flood,
has a 1 percent chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any giv-
en year.
Not produce or store radio-
active substances, medical
waste or other hazardous mate-
rials. The ban includes ammo-
nia, chlorine, pesticides and
petroleum products.
Flood-proof or store above
the base flood elevation all ma-
terials that would be buoyant,
flammable, explosive or poten-
tially harmful to people, ani-
mals or plants.
New landfills, junk yards,
mobile homes and trailers and
recreational vehicles (RVs) are
prohibited in high-risk zones,
including RV campgrounds.
Modular homes may be per-
mitted if they are placed on a
permanent foundation and
properly elevated with flood-
proofed utilities.
New hospitals, nursing
homes and correctional facili-
ties would require special ex-
ceptions, an additional approv-
al hurdle.
Floodways mapped areas
where water is likely to be the
deepest and fastest are com-
pletely off-limits to property
owners. In addition to a ban on
structures, nofill, excavationor
grading modifications are per-
mitted in floodways.
Municipalities also are
adopting building code require-
ments to meet the new design
standards for elevating and
flood-proofing structures, Me-
rolli said.
The owners of existing prop-
erties dont have to meet the
new standards unless they ex-
pand or substantially remodel
their structures, which would
include extensive post-flood re-
pairs, he said.
Some municipalities not un-
der county zoning control have
allowed development in high-
risk zones a practice that
should stop with the new regu-
lations, he said.
Building plans affected
Merolli expects property
owners will scrap plans to build
or expand in impacted areas af-
ter they realize the restrictions.
The floodplainrequirements
in the countys current ordi-
nance were drafted in the late
1970s or early 80s and were too
vague and relaxed, he said.
Youwant to stopnewbig de-
velopment in the100-year flood
plain and make sure existing
buildings are designed as safe
as possible, he said.
Plains Township Fire Capt.
Charles Krommes said he sup-
ports the new rules, particular-
ly the chemical ban.
When youre down by the
Susquehanna River or other ar-
eas after a flood, theres a very
strong smell of petroleum and
other evidence of contami-
nants, he said.
The owners of heavily dam-
aged properties may complain
about the new requirements if
they choose to rebuild after fu-
ture floods, he said.
It will be a hardship at first,
but its only going to help the
residents if they want to stay
there or build there because
there will be a minimal amount
of damage next time,
Krommes said.

Times Leader staff
Despite his pleas, he was never
provided any counseling. In-
stead the VAstaff, speaking with
him by phone, haphazardly al-
tered his medications and dosag-
es, Brier said.
Not once did they say, If you
feel like you are crawling out of
your skin, you better come in,
Brier said. They practiced tele-
phone medicine.
Arrested in 2007
The lack of treatment caused
his symptoms to worsen, leading
Laskowski to self medicate with
alcohol and prescription pain
killers he obtained illegally. The
situation came to a head on Aug.
13, 2007, when he was arrested
after he broke into a Clarks Sum-
mit pharmacy.
He described the living hell
he was going through, Brier
said. The VA dropped the ball.
No one picked up on any of it as
his symptoms got worse.
The VAs attorney, George Mi-
chael Thiel of the U.S. Attorneys
Office, said the case is not as
clear cut as Brier contends.
Thiel said the hospital con-
cedes it did not follow the spec-
ified protocol for treating PTSD
with Laskowski. But Laskowski
shares responsibility for the er-
rors because he was not com-
pletely forthcoming with staff in
describing his symptoms, Thiel
said.
There are two stories here:
one told by the medical records
and one told by Mr. Laskowski,
Thiel said.
Thiel said Laskowski claims
he told staff of serious mental
problems he was having, includ-
ing flashbacks of driving in Iraq,
thoughts of suicide and the stash
of weapons he had stationed
throughout his home. But none
of this information is in the med-
ical records, he said.
When questioned about the
discrepancies by a member of
the VA medical staff, Laskowski
saidit was a product of himmin-
imizing his symptoms, Thiel
said.
Another claim disputed
Thiel said the VAalso disputes
Laskowskis claim that, had he
been provided counseling, he
would had developed coping
skills to address his problems
and would not have turned to
drugs and alcohol.
The evidence will show it
would not have made a differ-
ence, Thiel said.
After his arrest, Laskowski
was treated at another VA hospi-
tal in Coatesville, which Thiel
acknowledges provided appro-
priate treatment. Three months
after his discharge, Laskowski
again began abusing pain killers,
Thiel said.

Emory J. Ishley Jr., 51, of
Bodle Road, Wyoming, was
arraigned by District Judge
Joseph Carmody in West Pitt-
ston on charges of criminal
attempt, criminal mischief and
public drunkenness. He was
released on $5,000 unsecured
bail.
Police allege Ishley attempted
to force his way into his ex-
girlfriends residence on Pringle
Street at about 4 p.m. Sunday,
according to the criminal com-
plaint.
A witness allegedly saw Ishley
using a garbage can and a 2-by-4

dows and to force open a door.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Sept. 19 before
District Judge Paul Roberts in
Kingston.

According to the criminal
complaint:
Police said a 7-year-old boy
was found crying and asking for
his father at the Turkey Hill on
South Main Street just before 11
p.m. Sunday.
Sperry allegedly told police
he left the boy with a neighbor
to go to the store. While going
to the store, Sperry said, he
received a call from a woman
asking for help with a family
problem, the complaint says.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

M
ore than two years of anguish
and frustration wound up in the
hands of Justin Renfer, and he
knew exactly what to do with it.
He wasnt going down, and this time,
neither was Holy Redeemer.
So even as this long-sought victory
was finally secured by his last-minute
interception, Renfer wanted to make
sure. The sophomore linebacker pulled
down the pick, put his head down and
kept going, through Holy Cross defend-
ers and then past them, all the way to a
victory-clinching touchdown
I thought about it, I was going to go
down, Renfer said. But all I saw was
the end zone about 80 yards away.
Actually, it was 74 yards. But it must
have felt like 74 years since Redeemer
last celebrated victory.
Twenty-two games is a long time to
go without winning a high school foot-
ball game.
Its finally over, Redeemer quarter-
back Jimmy Strickland said.
Only because the Royals wouldnt let
the losing continue.
They played through pain.
They played through more anguish.
But they played their hearts out to
the very end, when Renfer stopped a
potential game-winning drive and
turned it into a game-clinching dash
with one second remaining on the
clock.
It feels words cant even explain
it, Renfer said.
Actions can.
The Royals took their 33-21 victory
Monday and darted straight for the
stands, leaping in to share their joy
with parents and fellow students and
anyone willing to celebrate in their
excitement.
They shouted with such glee, like
theyd just won a state championship.
But winning a single game some-
times brings equal euphoria, especially
to a program not used to winning.
Were trying to change the culture,
new Holy Redeemer coach Pat Reece
said.
They finally changed the final result.
And that was never easy.
The Royals needed three touch-
downs from their defense.
They needed Strickland to overcome
a bad limp he picked up on a second-
half hit.
They needed to show toughness and
resiliency when a game they seemed to
control suddenly swung the other way
when Holy Cross came back to take a
21-20 lead with 6:43 to play.
Mostly, the Royals needed to keep
from saying to themselves, Here we
go again.
I knew we were going to pull
through, Strickland said.
Mainly because he pulled himself
together despite a throbbing ankle
injury, while his receivers kept pulling
down clutch catches.
Big-play Jason Hoggeth came up
with a leaping 34-yard snare on fourth
down to keep the winning touchdown
drive alive, then Pat Villani kept push-
ing tacklers backwards until he went 18
yards with a screen pass.
Two plays later, Renfer lined up at
fullback and blasted into the end zone
with a one-yard touchdown, blasting
away Redeemers losing past.
We were ready for the challenge,
Renfer said.
They were ready to win.
When Holy Cross marched down the
field, reaching the red zone in the final
minute, the Redeemer defense that
made game-changing plays all night
made one more. It was fitting, then,
that Renfer and the defense reversed
the course of Redeemers destiny.
I was in the right spot at the right
time, Renfer said.
This time, so were his teammates. At
long last, it was time for them to re-
joice.

WILKES-BARRE Nobody had to
look at the scoreboard at Wilkes-Barre
Memorial Stadium to know what Holy
Redeemer had finally accomplished.
It was evident at the end of the game
when the jubilant Royals started leap-
ing to greet their joyous fans in the
stands.
We did it! exclaimed Redeemer
quarterback Jimmy Strickland.
At long last, they snapped a 22-game
losing streak.
Strickland threw for
138 yards Monday, Ja-
son Hoggarth caught
90 yards worth of pas-
ses and Justin Renfer
scored the final two
touchdowns as the
Royals held off Holy Cross, 33-21 while
ending a skid that followed them
through two full seasons and parts of
two others.
They were crying, you sawthe emo-
tions, first-year Redeemer coach Pat
Reece said. Its the greatest feeling ev-
er.
They really needed this win.
They fought for it.

It had been 76 years since a British

Kiss Dont Bite is a gal that has been tangling with the top three-
year old pacing fillies in the land for most of 2012. Tonight she tries
the ladies of a different caliber, thats some of the stronger older pac-
ing mares in the state of Pennsylvania in this evenings $50,000 F&M
Open Pace. The three-year old daughter of Four Starzzz Shark has
really had a great season for trainer Noel Daley, winning four times
while bankrolling nearly $200,000 on the year in just twelve starts.
Perhaps her most impressive effort of the season came three starts
back, when she missed by only a short neck to the PAChamp Econo-
my Terror. Shes got speed to trip out and has shown the ability to
come frombehind the pace as well, throwin the talents of driver Da-
vid Miller and I believe it all adds up to a winning formula in an excit-
ing tenth race feature.

PHILADELPHIA Kyle
Kendrick struck out a career-
high eight over seven strong
innings to lead the surging
Philadelphia Phillies to their
fifth straight win, 3-1 over the
Miami Marlins on Monday
night.
Staked to a 3-0 lead, Ken-
drick (9-10) took a no-hitter
into the sixth before Rob Brant-
lys leadoff single. The right-
hander escaped a bases-loaded
jam when he struck out Gian-
carlo Stanton on a changeup.
Often overlooked on a staff
that includes Cole Hamels, Roy
Halladay and Cliff Lee, Ken-
drick has been a huge reason
why the Phillies (70-71) are
making a late push to get into
the NL wild-card race. Hes
won five of his last six starts
and has allowed two earned
runs or less in each of his past
six.
The Phillies have won 13 of
17 overall. They began the
night six games behind St.
Louis for the second NL wild-
card spot and are trying to
leapfrog a mix of teams that
includes Milwaukee, Pitts-
burgh and Los Angeles.
Domonic Brown hit a two-
run homer off Wade LeBlanc
(2-4), and a hustling Michael
Martinez scored on a wild
pitch in a three-run fifth.
Antonio Bastardo tossed a
scoreless ninth for his first save
this season. He got the call
after Jonathan Papelbon
earned a win and save in a
doubleheader sweep against
Colorado on Sunday.
Nationals 5, Mets 1
NEW YORK Gio Gon-
zalez earned his big league-
leading 19th victory and the
Washington Nationals backed
him with three home runs to
beat the listless New York
Mets.
Kurt Suzuki put the Nation-
als ahead with a home run
right after catcher Kelly Shop-
pach dropped his foul popup
for an error. Ryan Zimmerman
launched a two-run shot later
in the third inning and Ian
Desmond added a two-run
drive in the fourth.
That was plenty for Gon-
zalez (19-7) and the team with
the best record in the majors.
The lefty gave up three hits
over six innings none until
Scott Hairston homered in the
fourth.
Berkman done for season
SAN DIEGO Lance Berk-
man is scheduled for season-
ending surgery on his trouble-
some right knee Tuesday, leav-
ing the St. Louis Cardinals
without a dangerous bat as
they try to secure a playoff
spot.
Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny announced the news
Monday before his team played
the San Diego Padres.

The Associated Press
BOSTON - The news wasnt
the worst-case scenario Mark
Teixeira and the Yankees
feared, but it was far from a
best-case.
An MRI on Monday showed
that the first baseman, who
was seen by team physician Dr.
Christopher Ahmad, would be
unavailable to play for 10-14
days because of an irritation
of his Grade 1 left calf strain.
The aggravation of the in-
jury, which originally occurred
Aug. 27 against the Blue Jays
and had healed to about 80
percent according to Teixeira,
took place on the final play of
Saturday nights 5-4 loss to the
Orioles in Baltimore when he
grounded into a game-ending
4-6-3 double play. (Replays
showed he was safe at first
base.)
Teixeira, trying to protect
the calf, made a headfirst dive
into first.
All game, it didnt feel right,
but when I had to bust it down
the line on that last play, it
wasnt going to allow me to
go, Teixeira said after Sun-
days game.
Not that he regretted giving
it a go.
Youre always worried any-
time youre hurt but I had to
try it out, Teixeira said. If
you wait until youre 100 per-
cent, Id be waiting months
probably. You have to see if you
can play at 80 percent or 90
percent, and I couldnt.
White Sox 6, Tigers 1
CHICAGO Jose Quintana
pitched effectively into the
eighth inning, Alex Rios and
A.J. Pierzynski hit back-to-back
homers in the sixth and the
Chicago White Sox beat the
Detroit Tigers to increase their
AL Central lead to three
games.
The White Sox had lost
seven straight to Detroit, man-
aged just two hits against Rick
Porcello (9-12) and were 0 for
10 with runners in scoring
position when an error on
Detroit second baseman Omar
Infante gave them an opening.
Infante muffed Dewayne
Wises easy, one-out grounder
in the sixth. Paul Konerko
singled to left to put runners at
the corners and Rios lined a
pitch over the wall in left cen-
ter, his 23rd homer of the sea-
son. Pierzynski followed with
his 26th to center field for a 4-1
lead, ending Porcellos night.
Twins 7, Indians 2
MINNEAPOLIS Samuel
Deduno struck out six in seven
innings and Pedro Florimon
made two stellar defensive
plays to go with a double and a
triple, lifting the Minnesota
Twins over the Cleveland Indi-
ans.

STANDINGS/STATS
HOUSTON Roger Clem-
ens comeback might be head-
ed to Houston. Well, Astros
owner Jim Crane isnt ruling it
out, at least.
Crane said Monday theres a
possibility the 50-year-old
right-hander could pitch this
season for the majors worst
team.
We havent heard fromRog-
er, so thats still up in the air,
Crane said.
The last-place Astros begin a
weeklong homestand on Mon-
day that includes three games
against the Cubs and four
against the Phillies. Their only
remaining home games after
this stretch are against the Pi-
rates and the Cardinals two
teams in postseason conten-
tion.
Crane said he would not
pitch the seven-time Cy Young
Award winner against a con-
tender, which leaves this week
as the only option.
He wouldnt say whether the
team will reach out and try to
entice Clemens toreturntothe
majors for the first time since
pitching for the Yankees in
2007.
Were just going to sit
tight, Crane said. Well wait
and see if he calls us, but we
might call him, who knows?
Clemens pitched 3 1/3
scoreless innings in his first
start for Sugar Land of the in-
dependent Atlantic league,
and didnt allow a run in 4 2/3
innings in his second start Fri-
day.
When asked about pitching
for Houston this season, Clem-
ens said Friday he didnt see it
happening because of the time
it took him to recover from his
first start.
The Astros sent a scout to
watch both of his outings. Gen-
eral manager Jeff Luhnow said
he didnt have any new infor-
mation on the subject.
Right now we have a six-
man rotation and weve lined
up that rotation for the rest of
the year, so Im not expecting
any changes, he said. The
words that Ive heardRoger say
suggest that thats not front
and center in his mind. At this
point Im not expecting it.
Clemens earned $160 mil-
lionandwon354games ina 24-
year career with the Red Sox,
Yankees, Blue Jays and Astros.
His 4,672 strikeouts are third-
most and he was selected for11
All-Star games.
Clemens had two great sea-
sons with the Astros after he
turned 40.
Clemens
might
pitch for
Astros
The 50-year-old has made
two appearances for an
independent league team.

Crain was hired for his current
position in July, a little over two
months ago. And its been a very
busy 63 days for Crain.
In that time, the team has de-
cided it will change its name
from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees to a name more related
to the area. The names were
dwindled down to six last month
and voting ended late last
month. The possible names are
the Blast, Black Diamond Bears,
Fireflies, Porcupines, RailRiders
and Trolley Frogs.
The president a GM said a lo-
go and other logistics for the
new name are currently being
worked on, and that it will be a
couple more months before the
name is announced, but the pub-
lication of the name and logo
will be made at a public event.
In his short tenure so far, Crain
has also seen the nomad Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees finish
a successful season in which
they played all of their games on
the road while PNCField is reno-
vated.
The Yankees won the Interna-
tional League North Division
championship for the fifth time
in six years before bowing out of
the playoffs in the first round.
To make the playoffs and be-
ing on the road the entire season
is a great credit to manager Dave
Miley and the coaching staff,
Crain said. This is a feat that no
one will ever accomplish again in
the minor leagues and to be a
part of it is something special.
Speaking of the stadium reno-
vations, Crain said that concrete
steps were being poured and
steel was being hung on Mon-
day, and the project was right on
schedule -- and on budget.
We are so pumped for open-
ing day 2013, Crain said. Open-
ing day is only 206 days away,
but whos counting?
Its exciting and Im anxious
to share (the stadium) and the
team name with the entire
Northeast Pennsylvania commu-
nity.

measure tennis greatness and
the287thsinceBritains FredPer-
ry won the 1936 U.S. Champion-
ships, as the event was known
back then.
Murray vs. Djokovic was a test
of will as much as skill, lasting 4
hours, 54 minutes, tying the re-
cord for longest U.S. Open final.
The first-set tiebreakers 22
points set a tournament mark.
They repeatedly produced fan-
tastic, tales-in-themselves points,
lasting 10, 20, 30, even 55 yes,
55! strokes, counting the
serve. The crowd gave a standing
ovation to salute one majestic,
30-stroke point in the fourth set
that ended with Murrays fore-
hand winner as Djokovic fell to
the court, slamming on his left
side.
By the end, Djokovic who
had won eight consecutive five-
set matches, including in the
semifinals (against Murray) and
final (against Rafael Nadal) at the
Australian Open in January
was the one looking fragile, try-
ing to catch breathers and doing
deep knee bends at the baseline
to stretch his aching groin mus-
cles. After getting broken to trail
5-2 in the fifth, Djokovic had his
legs massaged by a trainer.
I reallytriedmybest, Serbias
Djokovic said.
No one had blown a two-set
lead in the U.S. Open title match
since 1949, and Murray was de-
termined not to claim that dis-
tinction.
WhenDjokovic sent a forehand
long on the final point, Murray
crouched and covered his mouth
with both hands, as though even
he could not believe this moment
hadactuallyarrived. The 25-year-
old Scot removed his sneakers,
grimacing with each step as he
gingerly stepped across the
court. Djokovic came around to
offer congratulations and a warm
embrace, while Chariots of Fire
blared over the Arthur Ashe Sta-
dium loudspeakers.
Murray was one of only two
men in the professional era,
which began in1968, to have lost
his first four GrandSlamfinals
against Djokovic in the 2011 Aus-
tralian Open, and against Roger
Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open,
2010 Australian Open and 2012
Wimbledon.
The other guy who began 0-4?
Ivan Lendl, who just so happens
to be Murrays coach nowadays.
Murrays forehand is one of the
improvements hes made under
the tutelage of Lendl, who sat
still for much of the match, eye-
glasses perched atop his white
baseball hat and crossed arms
resting on his red sweater in
sum, betraying about as much
emotion as he ever did during his
playing days.
During the post-match cere-
mony, Murray joked about
Lendls reaction: I thinkthat was
almost a smile.
The lack of a Grand Slam title
for Murray, and for his country,
has beenthe subject of muchcon-
versation and consternation in
the United Kingdom, where the
first of what would become ten-
nis top titles was at awarded at
Wimbledon in 1877.
Djokovic, in contrast, was bid-
ding for his sixth major trophy,
fifth in the past two seasons. He
had won 27 Grand Slam hard-
court matches in a row.

LEWISTOWN In a game
that started on Friday, William-
sport was defeated on Monday
by Mifflin County 41-13 at
Mitchell Field.
The game picked up on Mon-
day with 8:30 left in the second
quarter and the Huskies hold-
ing a 27-6 lead. Mifflin County
added to that advantage scoring
two more TDs in the third quar-
ter to open a 39-6 advantage.
Early in the game after the
Huskies took a 7-0 lead, the
Millionaire running back Devin
Miller picked up a 68-yard
touchdown run. But the extra
point was missed and MC re-
mained in front 7-6.
Miller, who rushed for 203
yards in the game, added a 70-
yard run in the fourth quarter.
That score was too little too
late and trimmed the lead to
39-13. Mifflin County added a
safety later in the fourth to
close the scoring.

down blast with 2:15 remaining,
then secured the victory when
Renfer a linebacker on defense
picked off a pass and returned it
74 yards for the games final score
with one second on the game
clock.
I was going to score, said
Renfer, who put his head down
and ran through at least two tack-
les while covering the final 50
yards of his game-sealing score.
Nothing was going to stop me.
The Royals didnt stop until
they had their first victory since
late in the 2009 season.
They wanted it, Reese said.
The Redeemer defense wanted
the end zone turning three of
their four turnovers into touch-
downs. And Strickland connect-
ed on his first seven passes and
wound up12-for-17 with138 pass-
ing yards while battling through
a lower leg injury suffered in the
second half.
The adrenaline just kept me
playing, Stricklandsaid. I knew
we were going to win.
Some game-changing defen-
sive play made the Royals feel
that way.
Eric Kerr scooped up a loose
ball and returned it 76 yards for
Redeemers first score, and Eric
Shorts recovered another Holy
Cross fumble and went 38 yards
to the end zone with it for a 14-7
Royals advantage later in the
opening half.
Strickland started the second
half by connecting with Hog-
garth on a 49-yard bomb, setting
up Stricklands three-yard scor-
ing run for a 20-7 Redeemer lead.
Then things got tense for the
Royals.
Patrick Hagan romped11yards
for his teams second touchdown
run of the game, and quarterback
Connor Callejas scooted five
yards for a touchdown as Holy
Cross came back to take a 21-20
lead with 6:43 to play.
We were ready for the chal-
lenge, Renfer said.
Were they ever.
Hoggarth made a leaping 34-
yard grab of Stricklands fourth-
down pass to keep the winning
touchdown drive alive, then Pat
Villani charged 18 yards with a
screen pass to put Redeemer two
yards from the end zone.
Two plays later, Renfer bulled
across andinto the endzone with
2:15 to go, then turned around to
seal the victory fromhis lineback-
er spot with his pick six.
We teach them to play all the
way down to the last second,
Reese said. Nowthey tasted vic-
tory. Nowthey knowwhat it feels
like. Now theyll play with more
urgency out there.

S P O R T S
Erin Conrad had a year of eligi-
bility remaining and decided to
return to the University of Louis-
ville field hockey team this fall.
Coach Justine Sowry is glad she
did.
Conrad (Meyers) has helped
the Cardinals jumpout toa 4-2re-
cord with her stellar play in the
goal. She has given up 10 goals
and has 29 saves and a shutout.
The only losses were 3-2 to
Northeasternand3-2 inovertime
to Indiana last Saturday. She
bounced back from that Indiana
setback to lead the team to a 2-1
victoryover OhioUniversitySun-
day.
Erin decided to return be-
cause she knew she could help
this teamregardless of winning a
championship or not, coach Jus-
tine Sowry said. This speaks vol-
umes for how far she has grown
as a person and a leader for our
program.
Conrad earned Big East Con-
ference second team honors two
years inarowafter postingacom-
bined 23-16 record with 11 shut-
outs. Sheenteredthis seasonhav-
ing given up 66 goals and record-
ing 167 saves. Her 1.51 goals
against average last season were
11th best in Division I.
Erin has matured and contin-
ues to lead a young group of play-
ers in front of her through a chal-
lenging month of preparation,
practice andgames. Her perform-
ances so far have reflected on her
mental toughness and competi-
tive pride that is installed in her.
The Cardinals meet Central
Michigan in the first round of the
Michigan State Tournament Fri-
day in East Lansing.
FROSHDUOHELPS EAGLES
Freshmen Ashleigh Sebia and
Kelcie Hromisin are seeing plen-
ty of action with the Boston Col-
lege field hockey team this fall.
Sebia, from Plains Twp.
(Wyoming Seminary), scored
her first collegiate goal in a 3-0
triumph over Harvard last Sun-
day. Hromisin (Wyoming Valley
West) is showing the same tenac-
ity that she showed during her
high school days.
Our goal is to recruit players
who are going to step onto the
field and play for us and certainly
Ashleigh and Kelcie are doing
just that, coach Ainslee Lamb
said.
The coach wasnt sure where
Sebia would play early in prac-
tice.
She made it really clear that
she wanted to compete for a spot
on the forward line, Lamb said.
We have supported that and it
has really made a difference in
our ability to press and put some
goals in the net.
The coach likes Hromisins
work ethic.
Kelcie is very tenacious,
Lamb said. She keeps fighting
and fighting. Not only is she per-
forming on the field during
games, but she is really making a
difference in our preparation in
practice.
The Eagles, ranked 17th in the
country, are 4-2 after the victory
over Harvard.
BIG EFFORT FOR JAYNE
The Lycoming football team up-
set Delaware Valley 24-14 last
Saturday and senior defensive
end Roger Jayne (Lake-Lehman)
was a key performer for the War-
riors. Delaware Valley was the
preseason pick to win the Middle
Atlantic Conference.
Jayne, a 5-foot-11, 255-pounder,
had just two tackles but he
blocked a field goal try in the
thirdquarter that helpedkeephis
team ahead.
Coach Mike Clark is hoping
that Jayne keeps it going.
Roger is a returning All-MAC
player and we need him to take
the next step, the coach said.
We need himto have the type of
year we are expecting.
Actually, Jayne is a two-time
All-MAC second team performer
and entered this season with 79
tackles, five sacks and three fum-
ble recoveries. He also had two
tackles in Lycomings opening-
season 24-2 loss to Brockport.
The Warriors meet Lebanon
Valley in a home game Saturday
in Williamsport.
GOALFORDESSOYEFresh-
man Anna Dessoye (Crestwood)
picked up her first collegiate goal
tohelpthe Marylandfieldhockey
teamdefeat OhioState. Shecame
back with two goals in a 5-0 victo-
ry over Massachusetts. The
Terps, ranked third in the nation,
are 5-1 with three shutouts.
Anna comes to a top-level
field hockey program with well-
defined technical skills and a
deep passion for competition,
coach Missy Meharg said. She is
a flexible player (position-wise)
and thrives in tight pressure.
Dessoye also has something to
live up to. She wears No. 17 on
her uniform.
Thats the number worn by
two former greats Sara Silvetti
(an alternate on the 2008 Olym-
pic team) and Carissa Messimer
(an All-American and an NCAA
Champion). It shows the lineage
we have andwill continue tohave
with a player like Anna.
Dessoye has international ex-
perience. She was named to the
Under-19 National team and
served as captain through the
United States Junior National
Teams tour of Holland.
SKUDALSKI A TOUGH DE-
FENDER Sophomore Lauren
Skudalski of Wyoming (Wyom-
ing Seminary) had a big fresh-
man season and shes starting
where she left off this fall withthe
Columbia field hockey team.
Skudalski had four defensive
saves last season which ranked
third in the Ivy League and tied
for 21st in NCAA Division I. She
startedall 17games andhas start-
edall four games thus far this sea-
son for the 2-2 Lions.
Lauren has an incredible fun-
damental base from her high
school program, coach Mary
Beth Freeman said. Shes an ex-
ceedingly talented individual
and she will challenge any for-
ward to insure she does her job in
a deep defensive position.
The coach feels that Skudalski
understands the importance of
fundamental skills and leading
my example.
Leading by example is one of
Laurens greatest strengths,
Freeman said.
TRIO SOLID FOR LEOP-
ARDS Senior Maria Machalick
(Crestwood), sophomore Britta-
ny Blass (Crestwood) and fresh-
man Kirby Szalkowski (Dallas)
are key performers for the La-
fayette field hockey team which
is currently 3-1 after a 3-0 tri-
umph over Temple last Sunday.
Machalick had the game-win-
ning goal in a 2-1 victory over
James Madison.
Maria understands the game
very well and she has become
more consistent and effective
each year, coach Andrew Grif-
fiths said. She is playing as one
of our central midfielders, which
speaks for itself as to how impor-
tant she is to the team.
Blass, a midfielder, had two
goals in a 5-1 triumph over Ball
State.
Brittany is highly competitive
and a natural leader on the field,
Griffiths said. I believesheis one
of the best tacklers in the NCAA
and she continues to be keen to
learn in all areas of the game.
Szalkowski is listed as a mid-
field/forward for the Leopards.
Kirby has started her college
career very well, Griffiths said.
She has played meaningful min-
utes in all of our games. She is a
tremendous athlete and we are
working with her to make the
best use of her abilities.
LOBICHUSKI STARTING
Brone Lobichuski (MMI Prep) is
starting once again at middle
blocker for the Swarthmore
womens volleyball team, which
upset No. 10-ranked Eastern Uni-
versity last Friday.
The 6-foot junior is in her third
season starting at that spot and
she currently has 27 kills, 20
blocks, 10digs and10serviceaces
for the 4-1Garnet. Her blocks and
aces lead the team.
It is impressivehowBronehas
improved as a volleyball athlete
since arriving at Swarthmore,
coach Harleigh Chwastyk said.
She has really dedicated herself
in the game, in the weight room
andover thesummer playingout-
doors to improve her technical
skills and volleyball IQ.
Against Eastern, Lobichuski
had seven kills, seven blocks, two
aces, two digs and had no errors
on 18 hitting attempts.
Brone has definitely bought
into our philosophy that defense
comes first, either as a blocker at
the net or a defender in the back-
court, Chwastyk said. Offen-
sively, she is extremely consis-
tent and efficient. She is also one
of our strongest servers in a de-
ceptive way because most teams
we play dont expect the middle
blockers to be able to serve ag-
gressively and dig balls in the
back row.
SEMENZA HELPING OUT
Junior Danielle Semenza (Hazle-
ton Area) is starting for the Gol-
dey-Beacom womens soccer
team which is off to an 0-3 start.
We have high expectations for
all of our players this season, in-
cluding Danielle, coach John
Cappiello said. With a large se-
nior class departing the program
last year, we will rely on return-
ing players like Danielle to aid in
the development of our younger
players will helping the program
to continue to move forward.

mington, Delaware, will face

NEW YORK As hockey
prepared for its first work stop-
page since the 2004-05 season
was wiped out, the NHL Play-
ers Association planned to
challenge a lockout before la-
bor boards in Quebec and Al-
berta.
The moves, if successful,
could force teams to pay play-
ers on the Montreal Canadiens,
Calgary Flames and Edmonton
Oilers during a work stoppage.
The sports labor contract ex-
pires at midnight Saturday
night, and a lockout appears
certain. It would be the
leagues fourth work stoppage
since 1992.
Donald Fehr, who took over
as union head two years ago,
said his players are resigned to
a work stoppage, which would
follow lockouts last year in the
NFL and the NBA.

You can look at the Wyoming
Valley Conferences new sched-
ule in many ways.
Its kind of like the glass-half-
empty, glass-half-full approach.
Or, youcanjust take Bill Kanes
view.
It certainly will make the sea-
son more interesting, the Ha-
nover Area volleyball coach said.
Gone are the three divisions
from last season, and back is a
schedule where every teamplays
each other once.
I really do like the new sched-
ule. I liked it when we played that
format several years ago, long-
time Nanticoke head coach Deb-
bie Krupinski said. I like the fact
that we get to play every team.
The new schedule is one of
three main storylines heading in-
to what should be an action-
packed 2012 campaign.
Therearetwoothers that stand
out.
The obvious one is the 90-
matchconference winstreak that
Holy Redeemer enters play with.
And when you talk with most
league coaches, most point to Re-
deemer, Crestwood, Nanticoke
and Delaware Valley as the pre-
season top 4.
Its a league driven by two or
three teams, Hazleton Area
head coach Chris Fallabel said,
but I also think that the gap be-
tween the top teams and every-
one else is closing. To me, there
are so many good teams in the
league that knowhowto play the
game.
Most, also, readily admit that
Redeemer and DelVal appear on
a collision course to a huge Oct. 2
showdown; a match scheduled to
be broadcast live on television.
You cant blame John Kablick
for being a little cautious,
though, after losing Allie Gris-
wold to graduation. Redeemer
does return a good nucleus of tal-
ent, which includes 5-foot-10 hit-
ter Sarah Warnagiris.
We lost a lot of talent fromlast
year, but I think that we have two
really nice hitters this year, Ka-
blick said. It will take some time
for us to gel, but our schedule is
prettyfavorableearlyinwhichwe
should be able to work through
some things and develop as a
team.
We dont really talk about the
streak. Actually, we discuss it ve-
ry little. You dont want to put
that kind of pressure on kids. You
just want them to go out there,
and play the game. I will say with
the one-league setup, its going to
be extremely tough to go unde-
feated. There are a lot of good
teams in this league, and now,
you have to play every single one
of them.
Krupinski agrees as the Tro-
jans return a veteran squad that
includes Nancy Adkins, Alexan-
dra Lefty Brassington, Allie
Matulewski and Kayley Schinski.
Like it is every year, our phi-
losophy is one game at a time,
she said. And thats the way you
have to approach it this season
because everyone will be a chal-
lenge.
Then, you have MMIs Shawn
Evans, who is batting in the land
of the giants, per se. MMI, com-
ing off a 9-9 season in 2011, is the
only Class A team in the confer-
ence.
Its achallengefor us, but I like
it because it will make us better,
he said. You play the Triple-As
and Double-As all season, and we
will be ready when playoffs come
around. We are going to better
ourselves every game, and hope-
fully, we can be hitting our stride
when then playoffs come
around.
The second storyline is the
abundance of new coaches in the
league.
As many as six teams are sup-
porting new leaders at the helm,
which includes schools like Ber-
wick, Coughlin, Lake-Lehman,
North Pocono, Pittston Area and
Wyoming Valley West.
Its a tough league for a first-
year head coach, said WVWs
R.J. Tomasic, whowas previously
an assistant at the school. For
us, you can say this could be a re-
building season. We lost eight se-
niors from last year. We lost peo-
ple like Jocelyn (Amico), Juliet
(Schmid) and Steph (Serafin).
Those are three hardpeople tore-
place.
Youjust give it your best every
match. I like the fact that we will
get to see everyone once. You
knowthe challenge that waits for
you. Teams like Redeemer, Crest-
wood and Delaware Valley are
tough. You just give it your all,
and see what happens.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Allie Matulewski (5) of Nanticoke anticipates blocking a shot by Lake-Lehmans Bethany Williams
during a WVC girls volleyball match last fall. Both Matulewski and Williams return this year.
The divisional format changed
to just one and every team
will play each other now.
By TOMFOX
For the Times-Leader
Berwick
Coach: Sarah Warner
Key losses: Bridget Orlando, Sarah Wilczynski
Key returners: Dejia Simmons, Abby Row, Ni-
coll Donayre
Warner's outlook: We are in a building year.
We lost a lot of players with soccer switching to the
fall. Thereis alot of learninggoingonright now. It will
be interesting to see how we will do in the league.
Right now, were off to a pretty positive start.
Coughlin
Coach: Stephanie Bell
Key losses: Danielle Georgetti, Kayla Eaton, Ju-
lie Hughes, Kirby Silliboy
Key returners: Summer Kuvicki, Shannon Daly,
Emilee Lester
Outlook: Coughlin is under the direction of first-
year head coach Stephanie Bell, who takes over
from Ashlee LaPlant. The Crusaders, though, did
losealot off the2011team, whichincludedsetter Ge-
orgetti, and hitters Easton and Hughes. Bell will
count heavily on Kuvicki, who has started off the
2012 strong, which included eight assists in a loss to
GAR.
Crestwood
Coach: Mike Williams
Key losses: Stephanie Klug, Courtney Kania
Key returners: Carina Mazzoni, Maria Knett,
Emily Sipple, Paryn Wajner, Nicole Jankowski, Oli-
via Jankowski, Ashley Hassinger
Williams' outlook: In the last few years, weve
graduated a total of five first-team girls, so its tough
to replace that kind of talent. Our goal is to win a
league championship. Thats always our goal. We
never want to rebuild, we always want to reload. I
think wearegoingtobefine. Wehavealot of talent.
Dallas
Coach: Meredith Ohl
Last Year's Record: 2-14
Key Losses: Alyssa Monaghan, Kelly Monagh-
an, Aubrey Gryskiewicz
Key Returners: Christina Diltz, Tara Englehart
Ohl's Outlook: We have some four-year play-
ers in the program that have been gelling together.
We have a good group that has played with us
throughout their careers, so well continue to move
forward together. The girls, because theyve been
together, know each other pretty well.
MMI
Coach: Shawn Evans
Last year's record: 9-9
Key losses: Annika Wessel, Alyssa Triano
Key Returners: Kiersten Young, Kayla Karchn-
er, Katie Darrow, Kristina Purcell, Ashmben Bains
Evans' Outlook: The core of our team is back,
so we have a pretty experienced squad. Our motto
isnt going to change. It is one player, one game, one
match at a time. I amexpecting to see a big year from
Kiersten. I likethenewleaguesetupbecauseit gives
us a chance to play some of the bigger schools. We
aretheonly Single-Aschool intheconference, soits
going to help us better ourselves come playoff time.
GAR
Coach: Deanna Roulinavage
Last year's record: 0-16
Key losses: None
Key returners: Jocelyne Vazquez, Vanessa
Flores
Roulinavage's outlook: I definitely think as the
seasongoesalong, wewill progress. Wejust needto
continue to work as a team. We are young, and we
need to get that varsity experience under our belts.
The only way you do that is games and practice. We
just have to learn howto finish off games, and devel-
op through our team concepts.
Hanover Area
Coach: Bill Kane
Last year's record: 6-8
Key losses: Shawna Robbas, Jolene Domyan,
Nicole Treverton
Key returners: Holly Saraka, Kim Ozmina,
Raean Walton, Heather Grady
Kane's outlook: We lost a total of 11 seniors
from last years team, so any time that you lose 11
seniors, its going to hurt. Every year, we want to
make strides throughout the season. These kids
have really dedicated themselves to achieving our
goals. I know that they are going to do their best to
get there.
Hazleton Area
Coach: Chris Fallabel
Last year's record: 6-16
Key losses: Catherine LaBuz, Megan Barankol
Keyreturners: KatieLandis, Kristy Kaschak, Ali-
via Roberts, Brianna Woznicki
Fallabel's outlook: We are young, but we have
some talent. Things seem to be going quicker, and
tend to be coming together faster. These kids love to
practice, and they practice hard. We might be a year
or two away yet, but I think we are going to be in all
thematches. Theleagueis good, but its beendriven
by two or three teams. But I think that the gap is clos-
ing.
Holy Redeemer
Head coach: John Kablick
Last year's record: 16-0
Key losses: Allie Griswold
Key returners: Sarah Warnagiris, Sydney
Kotch, Biz Eaton, Nicole Slavoski, Alyssa Platko
Kablick's outlook: I feel good about the group
of girls that we have on the team. We have two really
nice hitters, and thats going to help us a lot. Early on,
wearegoingtohavetogel, andI think that wehavea
friendly schedule that will allow us to do that. Right
now, we dont emphasize the winning streak (90
games) because we dont want to put any additional
pressure on the girls. Everyone knows what it is. We
want these girls to just worry about one match at a
time.
Lake-Lehman
Coach: Kevin Koziol
Last year's record: 13-1
Key losses: Tiffany Oplinger, Kayla Koziol, Car-
ol Mosier
Key returners: Bethany Williams, Amy Williams,
Brittany Acezado.
Koziol's outlook: I expect us to be competitive
in the league. Im sure we are going to have a few
losses, but I expect us to be in every match. At the
endof theseason, weshouldbeinthethick of things
when it comes to the playoffs.
Meyers
Coach: Mary Mushock
Last year's record: 10-6
Key losses: Kyra Wolsieffer, Tess Sauer
Key returners: Brandilee Soto
Mushock's outlook: We lost a lot, but we have
six seniors that we are going to rely heavily on. We
are going to need their leadership throughout the
season. The seniors have played three or four years
together, sotheyknoweachother well. Wearegoing
to count on Brandilee. Shes an all-around athlete.
She is not just a hitter. She can do everything.
Nanticoke Area
Coach: Debbie Krupinski
Key losses: None
Key returners: Nancy Adkins, Alexandra (Lefty)
Brassington, Allie Matulewski, Kayley Schinski
Krupinski's outlook: We have a lot of talent
back fromlast years team, but our philosophy hasnt
changed. Its always one game at a time. Thats our
first goal, and then, we will concentrate on the play-
offs. Wehaveasolidteam. Theyareall goodathletes
and players. Im excited about the new schedule. I
like that fact that well have an opportunity to play ev-
ery team.
North Pocono
Coach: Chris Summa
Last year's record: 13-4
Key losses: Alyssa Strausser
Key returners: Kelli Bray
Summa's outlook: We continue to learn each
day, and hope our leadership can help us develop as
a consistent program.
Pittston Area
Coach: Danielle McAndrew
Key losses: Kendall Melochik, Nicolette Brad-
shaw
Key returners: Jacqueline Rabender, Kaitlyn
Simyan, Ciara Smith, Irene Maydon
McAndrew's outlook: We had a late start to the
year and we are focusing on building a solid founda-
tion to build the program back up. Our roster is cur-
rently equipped with seventeen girls the majority of
them being under classmen. With hard work, deter-
minationandgenuinegrace, wearelookingat asolid
season.
Tunkhannock
Coach: Mic Goodwin
Last year's record: 9-7
Key losses: Anna Boecker
Key returners: Erin Smith, Michelle Goodwin,
Meghan Healy
Goodwin's outlook: We have some seniors,
and a nice junior class. Losing Anna is tough be-
cause she was a talented player. We dont have a lot
of varsity experience. I think we have just three play-
ers that have that experience. I think it will take us
some time to find out who we are.
Wyoming Area
Coach: Noah Pickett
Last year's record: 8-8
Key losses: none
Key returners: Gabby Bohan, Mallory Bohan,
Sam Acacio, Melissa Kazmerick
Pickett's outlook: We are looking to do well,
and develop as the year continues on. Right now, its
about working all the team concepts and coming to-
gether.
When you have so many players back, its a little
easier because everyone is on the same page. We
are excited about this season.
Wyoming Valley West
Coach: R.J. Tomasic
Last year's record: 8-6
Key losses: Jocelyn Amico, Juliet Schmid,
Steph Serafin
Key returners: Gabby Gadonski, Trudi Casier,
Lauren Lupinski
Tomasic's outlook: For us, this is probably go-
ing to be a rebuilding year because we lost eight se-
niors. Its going to be tough because we lost our set-
ter, our defensive player of the year, and a good hit-
ter. Its tough to come back from that.
EventhoughImafirst-year coach, I workedwith
these girls on the junior-varsity team so they have
familiar with what I want to accomplish. Hopefully,
well continue to put things together as the year goes
along.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Ji-
yai Shin needed only 20 min-
utes Monday to do what she
couldnt in eight hours a day
earlier.
The South Korean made a
two-putt par on the ninth play-
off hole, beating Paula Cream-
er to win the Kingsmill Cham-
pionship and end the longest
playoff between two players in
LPGA Tour history.
ShinandCreamer playedthe
18th hole eight times Sunday
in an attempt to break the tie
before darkness forced a sus-
pension. About 1,000 fans turn-
ed out in the next morning to
see them go at it again. But af-
ter just one more hole, the
par-4 6th, the matter was set-
tled.
We were so hungry for the
win, said Shin, who, like
Creamer, was seeking her first
LPGA Tour victory since 2010.
I cant believe because I did
a hand operation in June and
then after that two months I
didnt play, Shin said. So I
feel like I take a little bit long
time for the win, but Im really
happy its coming quick.
Creamer hit her 30-foot, dou-
ble-break, downhill first putt
about 5 feet past the hole. She
then missed the left-to-right
bending comebacker, the ball
hitting the right edge and spin-
ning out. Shins first putt, also
breaking left to right, stopped
3 feet from the cup.
Seeing Creamer miss made
her short putt all the more in-
timidating.
I was really nervous with it.
But after, when I make that, I
was really happy, Shin said.
G O L F
Marathon
win goes
to Shin
In the longest LPGA playoff

Credit card use cut back
Total consumer borrowing dipped
$3.3 billion in July from June to a sea-
sonally adjusted $2.705 trillion, the
Federal Reserve said Monday. A drop
in credit card debt offset a small rise in
a measure of auto and student loans.
The Fed also said Americans have
borrowed much more than previously
estimated after it revised consumer
borrowing data back to December
2010. Junes figure was increased to
$2.708 trillion, or $130 billion higher
than initially thought. Its also well
above pre-recession levels.
Oil spill settlement in talks
Transocean Ltd. and the U.S. Justice
Department have discussed a $1.5
billion settlement that would resolve
federal civil and criminal claims
against the company over its role in a
deadly 2010 rig explosion that spawned
the nations worst offshore oil spill.
But Switzerland-based Transocean
said in a regulatory filing Monday that
several issues, including the possible
time period for payment, must be re-
solved before a deal can be completed.
Another sticking point is whether a
settlement would include claims for
environmental damage under the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990, according to
Transocean.
Penney extends haircut deal
After an overwhelming response to
its free-haircut-for-kids program last
month, J.C. Penney will be making the
offer permanent every Sunday, starting
Nov. 4.
Penney says 1.6 million children
received free haircuts in August.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

GIVEN THE increas-
ing convergence be-
tween televisions,
computers, mobile
phones and even
some household ap-
pliances, and the wide
availability of Wi-Fi and other mobile
Internet connectivity, Ive wondered
why digital cameras even high-end
professional models have been left
nearly untouched by this trend.
It seems like a desirable feature:
Take a picture, upload or email it im-
mediately. High-end smartphones
have cameras capable of taking clear
photos and sending them hither and
yon, but for photojournalists or other
professionals being able to send high-
resolution pictures from the field
would seem a natural.
Sure, you can carry a laptop around
or maybe read the memory card from
your phone. But thats not nearly as
convenient as being able to send from
the device itself.
Camera manufacturers are begin-
ning to take some baby steps in this
direction. Canon, Sony and Samsung
have begun to add wireless Internet
capability to their cameras, so with a
Wi-Fi signal you can upload images
and videos directly to online services
like Picasa and YouTube. Some cam-
eras are including apps that allow
users to touch up images and add
effects smartphones have had this
for years.
Wi-Fi is well and good if youre at
home or somewhere its available.
But if you think about how many
people use cameras on vacation at a
campground, for instance it might
not be enough.
Having cellular network capabilities
the kind that exist in smartphones --
might be a better bet.
The camera manufacturers would
benefit from this; theyre under in-
creasing pressure as mobile phones
sporting cameras in the 8-10 megapixel
range become widely available. Of
course, the cameras in phones make
certain sacrifices particularly in lens
quality and zoom capabilities and are
generally not suited for high-quality
photography.
So far, only Samsung has picked up
the gauntlet on this challenge, with its
new Galaxy Camera, a $500, 16-
megapixel model offering a 21x optical
zoom. It runs the Android operating
system, so apps can be installed. It
features a large touchscreen display
but dont let that fool you, this is a real
camera, not an overgrown camera-
phone.
According to Samsung, its going to
be distributed via mobile phone carri-
ers, since a data plan is required for
connectivity. Its expected to be re-
leased sometime in October.

BEIJING Chinas imports shrank
unexpectedly in August in a sign its ec-
onomic slump is worsening, bad news
for exporters elsewhere that count on
the appetite of the worlds second-
largest economy for natural resources
and industrial components to offset
anemic Western markets.
The Chinese president warned
growth could slow further, prompting
expectations of possible new stimulus
spending.
Imports declined 2.6 percent from a
year earlier, below analysts expecta-
tions of growth in lowsingle digits, da-
ta showed Monday. That came on top
of Augusts decline in factory output to
a three-year low and other signs
growth is still decelerating despite re-
peated stimulus efforts.
Analysts expect Chinese growth
that fell to a three-year low of 7.6 per-
cent in the latest quarter to rebound
late this year or in early 2013. But they
say it likely will be too weak to drive a
global recovery without improvement
in the United States, which is strug-
gling with a sluggish recovery, and
debt-crippled Europe.
President Hu Jintao cited slack ex-
ports and unbalanced domestic
growth as challenges for a Chinese re-
covery.
Hus speechSundayat theAsiaPacif-
ic Economic Cooperation meeting in
Vladivostok, Russia gave no growth
forecast or details of possiblenewstim-
ulus but promised to continue a
proactive fiscal policy, or govern-
ment spending to boost the economy.

Imports a bad sign for China

WAYNE, N.J. Toys R Us said Mon-
day that it plans to launch its own tablet
computer aimed at children called Ta-
beo on Oct. 21, a low-priced entry into
the increasingly crowded tablet busi-
ness.
The news comes ahead of the holiday
season, which can account for up to 40
percent of retailers annual sales. Toys R
Us has focused on exclusive toys rather
thandiscounts as it faces toughcompeti-
tion from online retailers like Amazon-
.com and discounters like Wal-Mart
Stores Inc.
The 7-inch touchscreen tablet comes
with 50 preinstalled apps selected for
children, including games suchas Angry
Birds and Fruit Ninja, and a book app
called istorybooks. It will retail for
$149.99, is equipped with WiFi and runs
on Google Inc.s Android 4.0 operating
system.
Toys R Us sells other electronics in-
cluding Apple Inc.s iPad, but this is its
first store-brand tablet. The Tabeos
main competitors include LeapFrog En-
terprises LeapPad, one of the biggest
hits last holiday season, and VTechs
similar InnoTab.
In the privately held retailers most re-
cent quarter ended July 28, its net loss
widenedslightlyfroma year ago, hurt by
weakness in Europe and a decline in vid-
eo game sales.
Childrens tablets are increasingly
popular. In addition to the LeapPad and
the InnoTab, other childrens tablets in-
clude the Kurio Kids Tablet from Tech-
noSource and the Meep Kids Tablet
from Oregon Scientific, both matching
the Tabeos $149.99 price tag.
Toys R Us
will sell its
own tablet

The calendar on
the wall says
September, but
the air outside
this morning
feels more like
October. This will
be our coldest
morning of the
week under a
thick blanket of
Canadian air and
in some places
readings at sun-
rise today hov-
ered near 40. If
any clouds do
manage to form
today, they will
appear as only
small cumulus
clouds; other-
wise, it'll remain
clear into
tonight and all
day tomorrow.
Westerly winds
will direct
warmer air our
way starting
tomorrow with
more summer-
like high temper-
atures later this
week. Our next

The County Fair Diet has come
to be the norm for many Amer-
icans rather than the exception.
Take the corn dog. I have one
once every 365 days when I go
to the county fair. Why not more
often? Hot dogs are in the
processed meat category of
foods . . . those that are smoked,
cured, or salted for flavor and
other qualities. (Note: Any meat
that keeps without spoiling in
your refrigerator for more than
a few days is probably a proc-
essed meat.) According to the
American Institute of Cancer
Research, there is good evi-
dence that eating processed
meat increases our risk for
colorectal cancer. On the other
hand, a diet high in plant-based
foods (fruit, vegetables, whole
grains and other foods that
were in short supply at the
county fair) provides substance
that can prevent certain types
of cancer.
Funnel cake? Lets see...This tasty
plate of fried bread dough dust-
ed with cinnamon and sugar is
an example of SoFAS (an acro-
nym that stands for Solid Fats
and Added Sugars). Health
experts blame much of our
growing national waistline on
these extra calories from fat,
sugar and refined grains. (Does
it help if we split one between
four of us?)
To be fair, the county fair offers
some whole foods. I saw corn on
the cob. And stir fried vegeta-
bles. And the Agriculture Build-
ing was selling Brussels sprouts
and other fresh vegetables for
bargain prices. Still, there is
something in county fair food
that calls to a lower instinct . . .
our natural desire for foods high
in fat, sugar and salt. Health
experts call these empty calo-
rie foods those that pack on
extra pounds yet provide no
beneficial nutrients to speak of.
The good news is this: Even if I
eat a perfect diet every day with
the exact amount of nutrients
my body needs for optimal
performance, there is still a bit
of room (perhaps 100 or 200
calories a day) for some fun
food in my diet.
So the county fair is over for
another year. And the fun of fall
begins ... with holidays around
the corner.

Q: With all the atten-
tion these days about
West Nile virus, how
safe and effective are
citronella candles in
dealing with mosqui-
toes?
V.M., Orlando,
Fla.
A: Citronella is actually an oil dis-
tilled from the leaves of an Asian
grass thats a close cousin to the lem-
on grass used in Thai cuisine. The
word citronella means lemon-like.
When citronella is used in the usual 3
percent concentration in candles or
the 5 percent concentration in in-
cense, the oil burns and gives off a
smoke that mosquitoes and other
flying insects find rather noxious. Its
not a poison to them, but rather an
odor that theyd just as well steer
clear of. This time of year, youll see
lots of citronella candles and incense
used outdoors to keep away the bugs.
With West Nile virus and its risk of
encephalitis, mosquitoes are more of
a pest in the U.S. than ever before.
Does citronella actually work? Per-
haps. First of all, there needs to be
enough citronella smoke to keep them
at bay. That means that the more
candles used, the better. The difficul-
ty is that in open areas, especially if
theres a breeze, its tough to maintain
a high enough level of citronella
smoke to keep an open space free of
mosquitoes. I suppose if youre right
by the smoke youll be less likely to
get attacked. But in all likelihood,
thats not going to happen. Research
done in Ontario testing the efficacy of
3 percent citronella candles and 5
percent citronella incense found that
compared with non-treated subjects,
those using the citronella candles
had, on average, 6.2 bites in 5 min-
utes versus 10.8 bites in the control
group; those using the incense had,
on average, 8.2 bites. Those translate
to a 42.3 percent and 24.2 percent
reduction in bites, respectively. Still,
they got more than a bite a minute.
While that may be enough protection
for some, I dont really want any
bites.
What works the best to avoid get-
ting attacked by mosquitoes? Since
they grow and multiply in water col-
lections, make sure there are no near-
by puddles or bird water feeders to
attract them. Bright-colored clothing
attracts bugs, so wear neutral, light-
colored clothing to avoid advertising
your blood. The best insect repellents
are the DEET-containing lotions or
sprays. Theyre not recommended for
use on infants and toddlers. 4 percent
DEET sprays or lotions can be used
sparingly on small children. The EPA
states that DEET is safe for adults
when used as directed.

BALTIMORE The answer to
why some obese people develop
diabetes and other health problems
may be found not in just a love for
junk food, but in the bacteria that
thrive deep in the human gut.
Scientists at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine have
identified 26 species of intestinal
bacteria linked to insulin resistance
and the high blood pressure, choles-
terol and sugar levels suffered by the
obese. These preventable conditions
often lead to potentially fatal health
problems including stroke, heart
disease and diabetes.
The researchers dont understand
yet how the bacteria in the gut, or
intestines, interact with the human
body to manifest into illness. But
they say identifying the harmful
microorganisms from among the
trillions that coexist harmoniously in
the human body is a major step to-
ward one day developing new treat-
ments for one of the countrys most
pressing medical issues.
We cant infer cause or effect, but
now that we have results from step
one and we can now look at what the
bacteria are doing, it can give us
more information to go about getting
an intervention, said Dr. Brandi
Cantarel, a research associate at the
University of Maryland Institute of

TLANTA - Virginia Smith dreaded having The
Talk with her daughter, Ramsey, but she couldnt
put it off any longer. She was concerned about her
daughters weight. Still, she didnt want to hurt Ramseys
self-esteemor say anything that couldspark issues of neg-
ative body image. So Smith decided to frame the con-
versation around being healthy and not about weight.
I talked about being healthy
and about making changes we
could do as a family, Smith said.
I told her I want her to live a
long, happy, healthy life. Since
that conversation about two
years ago, Smith and her daugh-
ter, now 13, have adopted a
healthy lifestyle overhaul.
They started with drinking wa-
ter instead of soda and eating
more fruits and vegetables. They
now often break out into 15-min-
ute-long dance sessions at home,
and they are planning to soon run
together in a 5K. Childrens
Healthcare of Atlanta wants to
help more of these talks and
transformations take place.
Today, the hospital launches a
MCT PHOTO
Allen Boehmig, 16, and his dog Cody leave their home for a walk through their Roswell, Ga. neighborhood. Kathleen
Boehmig found herself needing to have The Talk with her teenage son Allen, even though he is not overweight. She
was concerned Allen, who is in the band and likes to play video games, was not getting enough exercise.
WEIGHING IN
on a sensitive subject
Hospital offers help for The Talk about childhood obesity
See OBESITY, Page 2C
Start The Talk with yourself: Hon-
estly evaluate your familys habits and
the kind of role model you want to be.
Think healthy behaviors, not weight.
This should not be a discussion about
anyones weight its a discussion
about making good choices for your
bodies.
Keep goals reasonable. If your family
drinks sugary beverages every day, it
would be unrealistic to set a goal to not
drink them at all. Make small changes
for positive progress.
Nobodys perfect. If you have a bad
day (and lets say you give into a temper
tantrum or maybe you eat too many
cookies), the next day is a new day to
start again.
Consult your doctor. Healthy is a
relative term, and it can look different
on different people. Its important for
parents to have an open relationship
with their pediatrician to ensure they
are making the healthiest changes for
the whole family.

tal has a Health4Life Clinic for

It also runs a special summer
camp for overweight children
and trains pediatricians on how
todiscuss the often-sensitive sub-
ject of weight.
We really want parents to
start with themselves and for
them to have a healthy conversa-
tion with themselves about fam-
ily health risks, habits and the
kind of role models they want to
be, and to decide what changes
they are willing to make, and
then talk to their kids, said Dr.
Stephanie Walsh, the medical di-
rector of child wellness at Chil-
drens.
The statistics are staggering.
Nearly one in three children ages
10 to 17 in Georgia is considered
to be overweight or obese, ac-
cording to the 2007 National Sur-
vey of Childrens Health. Georgia
ranks second in the country for
childhood obesity (just behind
Mississippi) according to F as in
Fat: How Obesity Threatens
Americas Future 2010, a report
from the Trust for Americas
Health and the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation.
Now, Childrens wants to help
parents make concrete lifestyle
changes. Walsh suggests parents
tackle health and obesity one
small step at a time such as be-
gin taking a family walk after din-
ner, drinking more water, limit-
ing screentime to one hour a day.
Talking to kids about weight
can be difficult for parents. In
fact, nearly one in four parents is
uncomfortable talking about
weight with his or her kids, ac-
cording to a 2011 survey spon-
sored by WebMd and Sanford
Health. For parents of teens, no
other topic makes them cringe
more. Not drugs (6 percent un-
comfortable), not sex (12 percent
uncomfortable).
Kathleen Boehmig found her-
self needing to have The Talk
with her teenage son Allen, even
though he is not overweight.
Boehmig was concerned Allen,
who is in the band and likes to
playvideogames, was not getting
enough exercise. The fact that
heart problems run in their fam-
ily only added to her concern.
We tell him that our family
has a history of health issues, and
we want you to live a long,
healthy life, but its hard to im-
press that upon a teenager be-
cause it seems so far into the dis-
tance, she said.
But something clicked when a
veterinarian pointed out that the
familys golden retriever, Cody,
needed more exercise.
Allen has a big heart and loves
the dog more than anything,
Boehmigsaid, andhe nowwalks
the dog every day.
OBESITY
Continued from Page 1C
Nearly one in
four parents is
uncomfortable talking
about weight with his
or her kids, according
to a 2011 survey
sponsored by WebMd
and Sanford Health.
Genome Sciences who worked
on the study.
The study is one in a growing
field of research looking at how
the bacteria, fungi and viruses
that live on every inch of the
body known collectively as
microbiome play a role in
human sickness. They out-
number human cells 10 to one.
The National Institutes of
Health Human Microbiome
Project, launched in 2008 with a
$115 million budget, gave birth
to dozens of studies around the
country including the University
of Marylands obesity research
to try to find the answer. The
study was published this month
in PLOS ONE, a journal of the
Public Library of Science.
The big question is how
these microorganisms affect
health and disease in humans,
said Dr. Alan R. Shuldiner, an
associate dean of the program in
personalized and genomic med-
icine at the University of Mary-
land School of Medicine.
Since the projects launch,
studies have found links be-
tween microorganisms and flu
in young children, the digestive
disorder Crohns disease and the
skin disorder psoriasis, among
others. A recent study also
found a link to cancer.
Humans pick up these mi-
crobes from the environment,
with the first coming from the
mothers birth canal during
delivery. Over time newborns
start to develop their own mi-
crobes.
People have known for a
long time the body is full of
microorganisms and now the
tools have become available to
study them, said Lita Proctor,
coordinator of the NIH Human
Microbiome Project.
Researching microbes has
become easier with sequencing
of the microbial DNA, much like
the sequencing of the human
genome, enabling scientists to
study the organisms by their
genetic signature. Before scien-
tists grew microbes in the lab, a
much more time intensive and
complicated process. Early
studies were done in mice, but
those results arent always di-
rectly applicable to humans.
The University of Maryland
scientists analyzed microbes
taken from stool of the Amish in
Pennsylvania. The population is
easy to study because it is very
homogenous, creating fewer
variables, such as diet and life-
style, that may affect results.
They descend from a few found-
ing families and have similar
lifestyles.
You wont find people who
are widely different, like vegans
and meat eaters, Cantarel said.
Youre not going to find people
who smoke two packs a day and
who dont.
Participants in the study
varied in age, weight and size.
Gene markers were used to
distinguish between the differ-
ent bacteria found in the stool
taken from 310 Amish. Re-
searchers found everyone in the
study had one of three different
communities of bacteria. The
guts of people with high blood
pressure, insulin resistance and
other so-called metabolic syn-
drome diseases related to obes-
ity also had 26 other rare bacte-
ria.
The study also used the data
to see if a persons occupation
was associated with microbes in
the gut. They found farmers and
others who had regular contact
with animals had bacterial com-
munities also common in the
livestock.
The Maryland researchers
now hope to find funding to
take the next step and explore
the different ways the microbes
may be interacting in the body.
There could be a myriad of
explanations, researchers say.

Prostate cancer is generally
treated as if its a single disease.
But researchers have discovered a
new type of the cancer that ap-
pears to affect 15 percent of pa-
tients, afindingthat paves theway
for better diagnosis and more tar-
geted therapies down the road.
The new pathway for prostate
cancer development was discov-
eredafter ateamof scientists iden-
tified unique mutations in a gene
known as SPOP (pronounced S-
Pop) while examining patient tu-
mors. These aberrations may lead
to a dangerous accumulation of
proteins that spark tumor growth,
forming a distinct kind of cancer,
according to the study, published
in the journal Nature Genetics.
The discovery of a second way
for cancer to grow means we
might one day think of prostate
cancer not as one disease but as a
collection of molecularly defined
subtypes, similar to breast and
lungcancer, saidDr. MarkRubin,
vicechair for experimental pathol-
ogy at Weill Cornell Medical Col-
legeandaco-senior investigator of
the study.
Along with previous research,
the study is helping flesh out the
overall genetic landscape of pros-
tate cancer the most common
cancer in men with the exception
of skin cancer.
About one-sixth of men will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer in
their lifetime; two-thirds when
they are older than 65. Prostate
cancer is the secondleadingcause
of cancer deaths in men.
Some speculate that the finding
of an SPOP mutation may be one
of the breakthroughs oncologists
have been seeking. Knowing
what these mutations mean may
give us huge clues about how the
patients cancer will progress and
howthey might be best treated in
the future, said study co-author
Christopher Barbieri, chief resi-
dent in urology at Weill Cornell
who spent a research year in Ru-
bins laboratory.
About half of all prostate can-
cers are characterized by the pres-
enceof so-calledETSfusiongenes.
A gene fusion occurs when two
genes located in different parts of
the genome become attached to-
gether, leading to a newfunction.
The new subtype of prostate
cancer is defined by two factors:
the presence of a mutation in the
SPOPgene andthe loss of DNAin
an area harboring another gene.
Alterations in these two major
gatekeepers lead to a cascade of
downstream events that make
these tumors distinct from other
prostatecancers, saidRubin, who
notedthatSPOPmutationsandfu-
siongenesnever occur inthesame
tumor, implying two distinct mo-
lecular classes of prostate cancer.
The SPOP gene belongs to a
familywhosejobistoregulateoth-
er proteins by tagging or marking
them for disposal. The team dis-
covered the mutations occur
where the SPOP protein binds to
the other proteins it should tag.
Gene mutation can allow proteins to gather, spark tumor growth

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
a 62-year-old lady
who has been a dedi-
cated mother, helpful
grandma and a good
wife. I dont mean
to imply that Im
perfect, but my heart
has always been in the right place.
Im writing now because I have a
problem. I have been so used to being
a mother that now I dont know how
to break the habit. My children think
I do too much for them, and it hurts
me when they call me annoying.
I wish I could act differently, but I
dont know how. Ive been told I need
to do something with my life other
than help my kids when they dont
seem to need it and even when
they do. I know I deserve to be happy,
but I dont know how to start. Can
you tell me what to do, Abby?
Melancholy Mama, Wenatchee,
Wash.
Dear Melancholy: You are a success-
ful wife and mother, having raised
independent children. Its YOUR turn.
Think back to before you were mar-
ried and had children what were
your interests? Was there a class or
subject you wanted to take at a com-
munity college? Did you want to act
in a play, paint a picture, photograph
a landscape, read Shakespeare, join a
hiking club, travel the U.S., learn to
dance? Learn to speak French, plant
a garden, raise rabbits, write a novel
or the story of your life, study archi-
tecture, learn more about the stock
market, or (you fill in the blank)?
If you still cant get the urge to
mother out of your system, consid-
er becoming a foster parent or vol-
unteer at a school, childrens hospital
or as a literacy tutor at your local
library. The possibilities are endless
and the need is great.
Please let me know what you de-
cide to do from the hundreds of op-
tions available. You have a lot to offer.
Dear Abby: Jamie and I have been
close friends for almost 50 years. She
has always been there for me when I
needed her and vice versa. However, I
cant get past her continual bragging
about herself.
Jamie always manages to bring up
how some person told her how young
she looks, or another told her shes
a wonderful manager at work, etc.
Yesterday at lunch I mentioned how
much I love doing crossword puzzles.
I said I love learning new words and
if I dont know the meaning, I look it
up in my dictionary. Jamie replied she
doesnt need a dictionary because she
knows the meaning of ALL words!
Jamie is a good friend, but lately
Ive been wondering why she feels the
need to spin tales. She is always out
to impress everyone with how smart,
young, savvy and sophisticated she
is. She even told me some of her
co-workers compare her to Jackie
Kennedy, which is nowhere near the
truth. Why do you think she has to
act like this?
Perplexed in Philly
Dear Perplexed: Jamies behavior is
a sign of extreme insecurity. People
who are comfortable with themselves
do not feel the need to constantly
self-promote as she does. When your
friend announced that she doesnt
need a dictionary because she knows
the meaning of all words, you were
kind not to contradict her, because
she doesnt appear to be familiar with
the definition of humility.

447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
have principles that keep you
good even when you dont feel
like being good. You like the way
your principles restrain you and
guide you into being the best
possible version of you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
have a strong desire for variety.
Explore different modes of inter-
action. There are many ways to
express whats in your heart.
Today the best ways of speaking
out wont be verbal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Normally,
you could ignore certain irrita-
tions. But now its better to
handle them before they grow
into something big enough to
interrupt your rhythm.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
will direct your energy well,
thinking about happy things.
When tempted to go negative,
youll redirect yourself. Youll
accomplish what needs doing to
move in a joyful direction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may
refrain from playing a game
because you sense that youre
not on the same level as the
other players. Youll be rewarded
for seeking arrangements that
are a good fit.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
emotions are friends. With this
in mind, try to determine the
purpose of an emotion when it
starts. Ask where the feelings
are coming from.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Theres
no question: You are good at
what you do. Whether or not its
acknowledged now, you know it.
It makes you feel confident. And
though you may wear a poker
face, inside youre all smiles.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
amount of work before you may
seem daunting. Expect some ups
and downs. Time will fly when
youre having fun and also when
youre not. At the end of the day,
youll feel accomplished.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The most successful people are
those who do not back down in
the face of possible failure, set-
backs or pain. Youll be among
the successful because you go
forward no matter what.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youre naturally interesting.
Youll get a gift: boring subject
matter that begs you to spice it
up. You can make anything fas-
cinating by adding your personal
spin to it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
think you know whats going to
happen today; you planned it,
after all. Still, you have no idea
how its going to happen, which
makes for an exciting, intriguing
experience.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
may get positive attention by
saying the opposite of what peo-
ple expect. Later, you will cash in
on the points you win by being
so amusing.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 11).
People will look up to you
because youre a person of
action. Your instincts about
people are right on through the
next seven weeks, so move on
them to great personal and spiri-
tual effect. Youll make a profes-
sional leap in October. November
brings a renovation. Pisces and
Leo people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 49, 2, 35, 19
and 28.
