It’s just trusting my game and me going out there and playing the way that I know I can play.” It sure looked like Matthews, a sophomore at Temple, was full of momentum on Wednesday against Matt Pinizzotto from Salinas, Calif. After losing the par-4 No. 14 with a bogey, Matthews fell down by two shots to his opponent. The 2012 Pittston Area grad had to play ﬂawlessly the ﬁnal four holes to earn the win and advance to today’s round of 32. And he did just that. He birdied the par-4 No. 15 to pull within one of Pinizzotto then parred No. 16 to stay there. He also reached par on the 17 and 18 holes, while Pinizzotto struggled to do so, paving the way for the dramatic victory. “It was a tough day today. Just keep grinding and never give up, obviously,” Matthews said. “It just shows that when I was two down with four to go that See GOLFER | 12A Pete g.

William Warren Scranton remembered at service [email protected] WILKES-BARRE — After weeks of plea negotiations and years of a pending homicide case, a teen charged in the December 2009 shooting death of his great-grandfather has pleaded guilty to a homicide charge. Cody Lee, 19, entered the plea to a thirddegree murder charge Wednesday, and faces an agreed upon 14 to 28 years in prison, though the charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 to 40 years. “(Lee) stepped forward and accepted responsibility for his conduct,” his attorney Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. said after Wednesday’s hearing. “It’s a difﬁcult case for everyone. He regrets what happened,” Olszewski said. “The (plea agreement) gives everyone some closure and ﬁnality.” Prosecutors say Lee was 16 years old when he shot and killed his 80-year-old greatgrandfather, Herbert Lee, inside their Meeker See GUILTY | 12A BILL O’BOYLE SCRANTON —William Scranton III said his father enjoyed Broadway musicals — sometimes to the point of embarrassment for his wife and four children. “He couldn’t just sit and listen,” Scranton said during his eulogy of his late father, William Warren Scranton. “He would often laugh louder and applaud longer than everyone else and even let go a ‘Woo hoo’ during performances.” When the family went to see “A Chorus Line” on Broadway, Scranton sang along to every number. “At the end of the show, the entire cast walked over to the side of the stage where we all were sitting and they told my father they appreciated his assistance.” The large crowd, gathered inside Covenant Presbyterian Church on Madison Avenue in the city that bears his family’s name, laughed at the story.

There was the story of how Scranton, while training pilots in Reno, Nev., nearly fell out of an airplane and how, on a hot July day in the 1950s, the man who would go on to become congressman, governor and ambassador, stopped to ﬁll his gas tank and went to use the restroom forgetting he wasn’t wearing any pants. With Gov. Tom Corbett, Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley, and former governors Ed Rendell, Tom Ridge, Richard Schweiker and Dick Thornburgh listening, Scranton — a former lieutenant governor — painted a mosaic of his father through stories of humor, humility and service.

Then you might not like life so much,study finds GEOFFREY MOHAN wound up feeling worse about themselves after two weeks, and their moment-to-moment mood darkened the more they browsed the social medium. It didn’t seem to matter how big their network was, how supportive they thought their friends were, nor why they went to Facebook in the ﬁrst place, according to the study published online Wednesday in PLOS One. “We were able to show on a moment-to-moment basis throughout the day how people’s mood ﬂuctuated depending on their Facebook usage,” said University of Michigan social psychologist Ethan Kross, lead author of the study. “We measured lots and lots of other personality and behavioral dimensions, like, for example, frequency of Facebook use,” Kross said. “But none of the factors that we assessed inﬂuenced the results. The more you used Facebook, the more your mood dropped.” The study adds to a body of work examining social media’s effect on well-being, much of it offering mixed diagnoses. Looking at your own proﬁle can be self-afﬁrming, according to a recent study. And a survey of Facebook users suggested that it modestly increased life satisfaction, social trust, civic engagement and political participation. But other studies have suggested Facebook can evoke envy of others’ activities and proﬁle, leaving users with diminished self-images. Another study suggested that people with low self-esteem don’t reap a beneﬁt from tinkering with their online image, either. None of those studies, however, followed people over time. The University of Michigan study involved 82 college-aged volunteers — a core demographic among Facebook’s nearly 700 million active daily users — who answered questionnaires ﬁve times a day for 14 days, and rated their well-being at the beginning and end.

According to a police afﬁdavit, Violet McNab, whose age was McNab not listed in court documents, said she was watching the children when they began to cry. She said her son came running downstairs, yelling and accusing her of not properly caring for the children. Violet McNab told police her son grabbed her by the back of the neck and threw her down onto a couch. He then began punching her face and beating her on the head with an unknown object, she said. After that, he grabbed her by the neck, threw her onto the ground and continued slapping and kicking her, while stomping on her foot, she said. When she tried to grab her cellphone to call for help, she said, her son twisted her arm to make her drop the phone. After McNab ﬁnally stopped beating her, she said, he warned her not to call police or he would kill her. Violet McNab was able to leave the home, obtain a ride to Hazleton General Hospital and call police from there. Police who interviewed the woman at the hospital said they observed extensive swelling and bruising to her jaw and both sides of her face, as well as red marks on her neck and bruises on her legs, left foot, right arm and right hand. McNab was arrested at his home later Tuesday and arraigned before District Judge James Dixon. He was sent to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail. McNab has been no stranger to the law in recent years. He is accused of robbing a Susquehanna Bank in Sugarloaf on Aug. 22, 2011, telling the teller he had a bomb and making off with $2,262. The money was recovered the same day. A girlfriend waiting in the car for McNab, then of Drums, told police she had no idea he had no active accounts at the bank, and thought he was withdrawing money to purchase a car, according to court records. Trial is set for Oct. 21 in that case. In late December 2011, McNab allegedly wrote more than $3,000 in bad checks drawn on a bank account belonging to his father, DETAILS LOTTERY DAILY NUMBER - 3-8-7 BIG 4 - 0-2-4-4 QUINTO - 1-3-4-9-3 TREASURE HUNT ROGER DUPUIS HAZLETON — A city man who was out on bail awaiting trials in a bank robbery and a bad-check case was arrested Tuesday afternoon after beating his mother and threatening to kill her because she allowed his children to cry while he was upstairs sleeping, police said. Otto C. McNab Jr., 38, faces charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats and harassment after the incident at the North Church Street home where McNab, his girlfriend and Otto McNab Sr., knowing it didn’t have sufﬁcient funds. Trial is set for Oct. 28 in that case. McNab also faces sentencing Oct. 28 in connection with guilty pleas in two other cases: On Dec. 7, 2011, McNab claimed his father assaulted him with a knife. McNab later admitted he stabbed himself because he was depressed and wanted to get his father in trouble, according to a police afﬁdavit, and pleaded guilty to making a false alarm. On. Jan. 14, 2012, police were dispatched to a one-car crash in which McNab told police he swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle. He later admitted he deliberately drove his truck off a road to make it look like an accident. He pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence.

Correction An article on page 1A in Wednesday’s edition about the proposed amendment to WilkesBarre’s rental property ordinance should have quoted Councilman Tony George as saying, “If it’s infringing on your rights a little bit, so be it; but the people next door to you, the people behind you, the people in front of you, they don’t want to live in that condition, and that’s what we’re concerned about.” Facebook From page 1A the study. Nonetheless, when researchers controlled for loneliness, the relationship between Facebook use and mood and satisfaction were insigniﬁcant, Kross said. “Loneliness predicted Facebook use, and loneliness also predicted how bad people felt,” Kross said. “But the effect of Facebook on how people felt was independent of loneliness. “One of the things we don’t know is what aspect of Facebook use is contributing to these results,” Kross said. “Facebook and online social networks more generally represent a very new way in which human beings are interacting, and we’re really just beginning to scratch the surface as to how exactly these interactions work and how they inﬂuence us.” Catalina Toma, a University of Wisconsin communication researcher who found that Facebook users could increase their self-esteem, said seemingly contradictory ﬁndings among studies reﬂect the complexity of the medium and point out the need to drill deeper into what people do while on Facebook. “I think what’s happening, honestly, is that Facebook is such a gigantic space where so many different activities take place,” said Toma, who was not involved in the study. “So for us to be simply talking about Facebook use is an oversimpliﬁcation. Facebook use is not just one thing; it is many, many different things.” Kross and fellow researchers conducted an exploratory analysis of the data that suggests a linear relationship between online communication and face-to-face interaction. As both increase, feelings of wellbeing decline. “The negative effect of Facebook use on happiness became more pronounced the more you interacted with other people within that time frame,” Kross said. “It’s very likely that there are going to be a multitude of mechanisms that explain this effect.” Like other social media, Facebook affords people the opportunity to contemplate, edit and enhance their presentation in ways that are difﬁcult if not impossible during impromptu social interactions in the ﬂesh. You can take hours to come up with a clever response, whereas most people have long left the cocktail party when they think of the perfect riposte. Toma suggested that users’ emotions and sense of worth may be negatively inﬂuenced by the discord between tailored online images of others and their unedited view of themselves. “Instead of doing a personto-person proﬁle, you’re comparing a proﬁle and a person,” Toma said. +(ISSN No. 0896-4084) USPS 499-710 2013-227 Issue No. 2013-170 829-7242 [email protected] Jim McCabe – 829-5000 [email protected] Newsroom Circulation Published daily by: THE TIMES LEADER Regional Business Development Director & General Manager (570) 970-7158 [email protected] A CIVITAS MEDIA company VP/Chief Revenue Officer (570) 970-7203 [email protected] Impressions Media 15 N.

The union formally notified the district of a planned Sept. 3 strike in July, long before the 48-hour notice required by state law. At the time, Dolman said the union hoped the early notice would help jog negotiations. But Tuesday afternoon she sent out a statement saying negotiations had been held at the school district but the teachers “are disappointed with the school board’s posture.” “We have repeatedly made it clear to the school board that we are willing to bend but we will not break,” the statement said. “Unfortunately, at this time it appears that the strike set for Sept. 3 is imminent.” Six court secretaries get pay raises for newly appointed judges, ofﬁcials said. County Manager Robert Lawton said he can’t stop the pay increases because court ofﬁcials have budgeted funds to cover the expense and the administration has no say in court personnel actions. The manager handles personnel decisions in all county departments except court branches and the district attorney and controller ofﬁces. County ofﬁcials gave $1,000 bonuses this year to several hundred non-union employees who have gone ﬁve years without pay increases and promised to develop a performance evaluation system and review of appropriate pay scales for the future awarding of pay raises if money becomes available. County Court Administrator Michael Shucosky said court ofﬁcials agreed to start the six secretaries at lower probationary salaries last year to assist with the county’s request for budget cutbacks. “The county was so desperate for money last year. We started them at a lower rate to try to save money for the county,” he said. Shucosky said he made it clear the salaries of the six must be bumped up after a year, and the cost of the raises was included in the court’s 2013 budget. All 10 judges must be treated equally under the judicial code, which extends to compensation for their staff, he said. “The arrangement was that after one year, the six secretaries would get parity with secretaries for other judges who are doing the same job,” Shucosky said. Shucosky said the six secretaries did not receive $1,000 bonuses, and no other raises for non-union court employees will be granted this year. Salaries for the same county position vary widely depending on the department and employee seniority. The county employs 110 secretaries, administrative assistants and executive secretaries. Of that, 53 are paid $30,000 to $39,999, 32 receive $40,000 to $49,999 and four have salaries of more than $50,000. Shucosky believes the salaries for judicial executive secretaries are fair and appropriate based on their workloads and handling of sensitive and conﬁdential material. Court ofﬁcials have completed job descriptions and conducted performance reviews of all employees in their branches, including supervisors, last year, and another round of evaluations is slated for next month, he said. The court also is conducting its own salary study to determine if county compensation is in line with pay for court employees in similarly sized counties, he said. Shucosky said he will again request funding for non-union pay raises in the court’s 2014 budget proposal. A recent performance audit in the court’s domestic relations division identiﬁed union salaries exceeding management salaries as a problem, he said. Six executive secretaries in Luzerne County’s court system have each received $3,704 pay increases, despite a countywide directive that no non-union raises would be granted this year. The raises, which total a combined $22,221, will increase the secretaries’ salaries from $42,000 to $45,703.57.

WILKES-BARRE — Anyone who talks to attorney William Ruzzo can see he loves his job as a part-time public defender. He continually compliments his fellow attorneys, talks of more than 20 years worth of defending clients and is quick to thank former chief public defender Basil Russin for giving him a chance. Ruzzo, 71, of Wilkes-Barre, is retiring from the county’s Public Defender’s Ofﬁce next Thursday — a decision not made easily. “I started here in 1988 and I never left,” Ruzzo said Wednesday. “They couldn’t get rid of me.” He will continue working with his private ofﬁce, where he is currently handling a number of federal cases. Ruzzo said his retirement is due, in part, because his private ofﬁce is busy and all of the homicide cases in the county are in “very capable hands.” Ruzzo has mostly handled the ofﬁce’s homicide or capital murder cases. He said Wednesday that if the county were to ask him to work on a capital murder case in the future, he wouldn’t turn it down. Ruzzo became a lawyer a little later in life than most, ﬁrst attending Wilkes University, where he majored in political science before becoming a teacher for a few years. It wasn’t until 1984 that a woman he was dating — an attorney — encouraged him to attend law school. He worked on the case of George Banks, who shot and killed 13 people on Sept. 25, 1982 in Wilkes-Barre and Jenkins Township and continued to handle appeals at the state and federal Clark Van Orden | The Times Leader level throughout the years. He also represented John Michaels during his January 2005 trial. Michaels was charged with setting a blaze that killed a woman. Prosecutors said Michaels set the ﬁre to get revenge on his former landlord who evicted him from the building. Michaels was acquitted of all charges and released from the county prison. “(Fellow public defender John) Donovan did a magniﬁcent job,” Ruzzo said of the attorney who he worked with on the case and who is still a public defender. Ruzzo can remember nearly every case he has tried, the good and the bad, and is quick to refer to fellow public defenders who have helped him along the way. Donovan, Ferris Webby, Jonathan Blum, Joe Yeager, Tom Cometa and Al Flora, to name a few — all the go-to guys for specialties and questions. Or just some good-old Public Defender’s Ofﬁce camaraderie. Ruzzo said that’s what he’ll miss the most, but knows each of his fellow attorneys is available if he needs them. He’ll miss the endless trials, too, and the competitiveness, but not some cases that one can see still linger in the back of Ruzzo’s mind. The case of Lamont Cherry, convicted of third-degree murder in the May 2009 death of a 1-year-old girl and later sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison, is one of them. “He’s one of the guys who is serving prison time who I think is innocent,” Ruzzo said. “That was my bitterest loss.” Ruzzo said now he’ll enjoy some down time, his longtime girlfriend, Janice Dimirco, and their Golden Retriever. Ruzzo, who has two sons, one an attorney, the other a sales rep, and one daughter, a tipstaff for a judge in Dallas, Texas, will likely still attend many seminars on aspects of the law — what he calls his hobby. SCRANTON — Lawyers for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport on Wednesday tried to convince a judge to deny a request by Saker Aviation — the airport’s ﬁxed base operator — for a preliminary injunction to prevent the airport from awarding the FBO contract to a different company until a dispute over Saker’s contract can be decided at trial. Saker Aviation, which has a lease contract with the airport to provide ground services such as the fueling and maintenance of aircraft, sued Luzerne and Lackawanna counties and the bicounty board that oversees the airport after that board voted in July to negotiate a contract with another FBO — Aviation Technologies. Saker is seeking unspeciﬁed monetary damages, claiming that the board breached its contract by not allowing Saker to extend its 10-year contract, which expires Aug. 31, another ﬁve years and match terms offered by Aviation Technologies. Airport Executive Director Barry Centini was ﬁrst to testify before Lackawanna County Senior Judge Peter J. O’Brien, answering questions ﬁrst from Saker attorney Brett A. Datto and then from airport attorney Nick Kravitz. Centini said talks with Saker ofﬁcials about extending the contract began in July 2012 and continued through March. He said he told Saker CEO Ron Ricciardi on March 18 that airport ofﬁcials decided to seek proposals from other companies because “we were looking at a longer-term agreement and wanted to see who else was out there.” Asked about a clause in Saker’s contract guaranteeing that no airport facilities would be offered for ﬁxed based operations to a third party without ﬁrst offering them to Saker on the same terms and conditions, Centini said that section referred to operations during the 10-year term of the lease if the airport wanted to bring in another company to operate at the same time. Responding to questions from Kravitz, Centini said federal law prohibits the airport from offering a company exclusive rights to operate there. He also said the airport would have to close down if no FBO was in place on Sept. 1. Saker Aviation CEO Ron Ricciardi testiﬁed that, in layman’s terms, the contract clause in question guarantees Saker the right of ﬁrst refusal to terms of a contract proposed by any another FBO company. Ricciardi also said that if Saker was not allowed to extend the contract, the jobs of about 35 local people would be terminated and his publicly traded company would suffer irreparable harm and lose business opportunity and market advantage.

All 18 sailors aboard an Indian submarine hit Wednesday by twin explosions and an intense ﬁre are feared dead, a naval ofﬁcial said. The submarine had also been damaged in a deadly explosion in 2010 and had only recently returned to service. The ofﬁcial, speaking on condition of anonymity because divers had yet to recover any bodies, said the navy believed there was no way anyone could have survived the intensity of the blasts and ﬁre, which occurred when the dieselpowered submarine was docked at a Mumbai navy base. Ofﬁcials had earlier said that there had been no contact with the sailors since the explosions, which lit up the sky above the base. 18 feared dead after explosion MUMBAI, IndIA BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A UPS cargo plane crashed and burned Wednesday morning on the outskirts of an Alabama airport, killing two crew members and scattering boxes and charred debris across a grassy ﬁeld, ofﬁcials said. The pilot and co-pilot, the only people on board the jet, were killed, said Birmingham Fire Chief Ivor Brooks. The crash site burned before the blaze was extinguished, Brooks said. The plane crashed in an open ﬁeld on the outskirts of Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, said Toni Herrera-Bast, a spokes- woman for the city’s airport authority. The crash had not affected airport operations, but it knocked down power lines in the area and appeared to have toppled at least one tree and utility pole. Ofﬁcials had released few details on the crash or what might have caused it. National Transportation Safety Board ofﬁcials said an investigative team was on its way to the scene. At 7 a.m. Wednesday, conditions in the area were rainy with low clouds. “The plane is in several sections,” said Birmingham Mayor William Bell, who was briefed on the situation by the city’s ﬁre chief. “There were two to three small explosions, but we think that was related to the aviation fuel.” UPS spokesman Jeff Wafford said the plane was carrying a variety of cargo, but he did not elaborate. The names and hometowns of the crew members have not been released. Chunks of riveted metal that appeared to be from the plane landed in the yard of Cornelius and Barbara Benson, who live in a twostory, split-foyer house just a short walk from the crash site. Barbara Benson, 72, said she was awakened from sleep at the time of the crash by “this big sonic boom.” “I saw a big red ﬂash through my bedroom window,” she said. As it got light, the couple were able to see that the tops of trees around their property had been knocked onto the ground and that they were missing a piece of their AP photo Fire crews investigate where a UPS cargo plane lies on a hill at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport after crashing on approach Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. back deck. Cornelius Benson, 75, said planes routinely ﬂy so low over his house that a few years ago, the airport authority sent crews to remove the tops from trees around his house. “The planes come so close sometimes I’ve been able to wave at the captains as they pass,” Barbara Benson said. “It was just a matter of time before something happened,” Cornelius Benson said.

Cloud Tribune Washington Bureau (MCT) WASHInGTOn A federal judge has sentenced former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. to 30 months in prison, after his guilty plea that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Wednesday that as a public ofﬁcial Jackson was supposed to live up to a higher standard. Jackson, 48, the son of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, had been a Democratic congressman from Illinois from 1995 until he resigned last November. According to court papers in the case, he used campaign money to buy items including a $43,350 gold-plated men’s Rolex watch. His wife, Sandi, was sentenced to one year for ﬁling false tax returns.

Police storm 2 camps of supporters of ousted president Associated Press At least 149 killed in Egypt HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL CAIRO — Riot police backed by armored vehicles, bulldozers and helicopters Wednesday swept away two encampments of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, sparking running street battles elsewhere in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. At least 149 people were killed nationwide, many of them in the crackdown on the protest sites. Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and proreform leader in the interim government, resigned in protest over the assaults as the military-backed leadership imposed a monthlong state of emergency and nighttime curfew. Clashes broke out elsewhere in the capital and other provinces, injuring more than 1,400 people nationwide, as Islamist anger spread over the dispersal of the 6-week-old sit-ins of Morsi supporters that divided the country. Police stations, government buildings and The Lee County chapter of the NAACP wants to hold demonstrations because the county refuses to take down a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee that hangs in the commissioners’ meeting chambers. The group says the portrait of the Confederate general is a slap to the face for local minorities. A half-dozen or so supporters of the portrait — mostly members of local Confederate historical groups — talked about the painting during a County Commission meeting Tuesday night. A member of the local Sons of Confederate Veterans told commissioners the group strongly objects to attempts to remove the portrait. Gen. Lee portrait causing an uproar FORT MYERS, FlA. 2 JOURNALISTS KILLED A cameraman for British broadcaster Sky News and a Dubai-based newspaper reporter were killed during violence in Egypt Wednesday, their employers said. Sky said Mick Deane, 61, was shot and wounded while covering the violent breakup of protest camps in the capital, Cairo. It said he was treated for his injuries but died soon after. The rest of the Sky crew was unhurt. The Gulf News, a state-backed newspaper in the United Arab Emirates, reported on its website that journalist Habiba Ahmed Abd Elaziz, 26, was shot dead near the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque in Cairo as security forces moved in on a sit-in by supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi. The newspaper said she had been on annual leave and was not on assignment at the protest for the XPRESS, a sister publication that she worked for. Peace talks kick off in secret location JERUSAlEM Coptic Christian churches were attacked or set ablaze. The violence drew condemnation from other predominantly Muslim countries, but also from the U.N. and the United States, which said the crackdown will only make it more difﬁcult for Egypt to move forward. The assault to take control of the two sit-in sites came after days of warnings by the interim administration that replaced Morsi after he was ousted in a July 3 coup. The camps on opposite sides of the Egyptian capital began in late June to show support for Morsi. Protesters — many from Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood — have demanded his reinstatement. The smaller camp was cleared relatively quickly, but it took hours for police to take control of the main sit-in site, which is near the Rabbah al-Adawiya Mosque that has served as the epicenter of the pro-Morsi campaign. Several senior leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood who were wanted by police were detained after police stormed the camp near the mosque, according to security ofﬁcials and state television. Doctors Without Borders leaves Somalia JASON STRAZIUSO Associated Press With tensions high and expectations low, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators launched their ﬁrst substantive round of peace talks in nearly ﬁve years, huddling together at an undisclosed location Wednesday in search of an end to decades of conﬂict. The meeting was cloaked in secrecy, an attempt by both sides to prevent leaks to the media and maintain trust. Ofﬁcials would say only that the talks took place in Jerusalem, and there was no immediate comment from either side. The Israeli government released a brief video showing the chief negotiators shaking hands as the talks continued into the evening. Ahead of the meeting, there already were signs of trouble. A new Israeli push to build hundreds of new homes in Jewish settlements and fresh ﬁghting in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip underscored the tough road ahead. NAIROBI, Kenya — In announcing a pullout from Somalia after 22 years, Doctors Without Borders said Wednesday that armed groups are killing and abducting aid workers. And in a scathing indictment of Somalia’s leadership, the aid group accused civilian leaders of condoning or even supporting the attacks. The pullout goes against the narrative of a Somalia emerging from decades of anarchy and violence amid military gains against Islamist insurgents, but it underscores the violence that persists. About two dozen local journalists have been killed since the start of 2012. In June, a truck bomb and gunﬁre attack on the main U.N. compound in Mogadishu killed eight U.N. employees and ﬁve Somali civilians. Doctors Without Borders, the winner of the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize and known by its French initials as MSF, said the pullout will cut off hundreds of thousands of Somali civilians from humanitarian aid. For example, in Mogadishu, MSF runs the only pediatric intensive care unit, while in Jowhar, women will have nowhere to go for emergency Caesarean sections. The decision comes after the release from prison of a Somali man convicted of killing two MSF staff. In December 2011 a Somali employee of MSF who recently learned his contract would not be renewed shot and killed a Belgian and an Indonesian worker at an MSF compound. Though the shooter was convicted and sentenced to 30 years, authorities released him from prison after only three months, MSF said. Since 1991, dozens of attacks resulted in the deaths of 16 Doctors Without Borders staff in Somalia. Two MSF employees who were kidnapped in a Kenyan refugee camp near the border and held in Somalia for almost two years were released last month. In a blunt statement, MSF denounced “extreme attacks on its staff in an environment where armed groups and civilian leaders increasingly support, tolerate, or condone the killing, assaulting, and abducting of humanitarian aid workers.” “In choosing to kill, attack, and abduct humanitarian aid workers, these armed groups, and the civilian authorities who tolerate their actions, have sealed the fate of countless lives in Somalia,” said Dr. Unni Karunakara, MSF’s international president. At a Nairobi press conference he did not elaborate on the accusation or present evidence. Somali government leaders in Mogadishu declined to comment. WASHINGTON — Same-sex military couples will qualify for full beneﬁts, including governmentprovided health care and housing allowances, as long as they are legally married, under new rules announced by the Pentagon. The requirement for same-sex couples to be married is a shift for the Pentagon, which in February announced that full beneﬁts would be provided to members of the military and same-sex spouses if they attested they were in a “committed relationship.” But Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Wednesday that ﬁnding a way for unmarried, long-term couples to qualify for beneﬁts “is no longer necessary,” since a Supreme Court ruling in June striking down a federal law that barred married same-sex couples from obtaining federal beneﬁts. In addition to health care and housing beneﬁts, the new policy will allow same-sex couples to qualify for extra compensation when a spouse in the military is deployed and unable to live at home. It will also enable spouses of same-sex couples access to base facilities, including post exchanges. Hagel said in a memo that the requirement that same-sex couples be married was backed unanimously by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In theory, it will make it harder for military couples stationed in one of the 37 states where same-sex marriage is illegal to qualify for beneﬁts. But service members who are stationed in those states will be offered special leave so they can travel to one of the 13 states, plus the District of Columbia, that grant same-sex marriage licenses, the memo said. “We recognize that same-sex military couples who are not stationed in a jurisdiction that permits samesex marriage would have to travel to another jurisdiction to marry. That is why the department will implement policies to allow military personnel in such a relationship … leave for the purpose of traveling to a jurisdiction where such a marriage may occur,” it said. The beneﬁt payments are retroactive to June 26, 2013, the date of the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act. “The extension of equal beneﬁts for all legally married spouses, regardless of sexual orientation, is a huge step forward for our families who for far too long have been excluded and cut off from support,” said Stephen Peters, president of American Military Partner Association, a group representing same-sex military couples. www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER NEWS Thursday, August 15, 2013 PAGE 5A Dupont to initiate comingled recycling Times Leader Correspondent Butler Twp.lands grant to demolish Shadyrest Center Luzerne County grant of $100,000 will be used to bring down building TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent B. GARRET ROGAN DUPONT — Borough Council unanimously agreed Tuesday to initiate single-stream recycling next year. Every Wednesday, beginning Jan. 1, 2014, residents will be able to leave their recyclables out for a single collection each week. In other matters, Councilman Stanley Golembiewski agreed with several residents’ complaints about the recently opened Continental Bar and Grille on Main Street. While some in attendance claimed the bar is a consistent source of noise each Saturday, many said noise levels and customer behavior was excessive this past Saturday. Amaury Oliveira, the owner of the establishment, acknowledged the complaints and said he has limited control over patrons once they leave the bar’s premises. He did, however, pledge to increase security to ensure the peace of the community. Mayor Daniel Lello urged concerned residents to call 911 when they are unable to contact borough police and said ofﬁcers from neighboring municipalities will respond if Dupont ofﬁcers are detained. Also on Tuesday, borough ofﬁcials reminded the public of the borough’s annual Party in the Park, featuring refreshments and activities. The party will be 1 to 9 p.m. Aug. 24 at the park across from the borough building on Chestnut Street. The next council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 10. BUTLER TWP. — The board of supervisors on Tuesday approved a contract with Luzerne County for a $100,000 grant to ﬁnance the demolition of the former Shadyrest Senior Citizens Center. The actual date for the dismantling has yet to be determined because there are issues associated with asbestos that have to be resolved, said Supervisor Chairman Brian Kisenweather. Advertising for demolition bids might be discussed at the September meeting, Kisenweather said. In other matters, the supervisors: • Approved the sale of equipment for $576 to Jim Kurochock. • Accepted the dedica- tion of Riccardi Drive in the Edgewood Terrace development. • Approved a public hearing at 6 p.m. Oct. 8 to discuss proposed changes to the subdivision and land development ordinance. These changes also will be submitted for review by the Luzerne County Planning Commission. • Approved the Rinaldi subdivision. • Approved the appli- cations of the NEPA Rampage and Hazleton Area Little Cougars to use the community center after an adjustment in fees. Also, Kisenweather said that work has begun on trafﬁc signals on state Route 309 at the entrance to the corporate park. The signals are part of a project to create a magnet school by the Hazleton Area School District in the park.

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE — A Luzerne County judge on Wednesday denied a request to reduce the prison sentence of a mother charged with covering up a deadly shooting of a 14-year-old boy. Angelina DeAbreu pleaded guilty to the three charges – all misdemeanors — in May in the middle of her trial on four charges, which included a corruption of minors charge. She was later sentenced to six to 12 months in county prison, and one year probation. DeAbreu’s son, Elijah Yusuff, 14, was charged in juvenile court in shooting and killing his friend Tyler Winstead, 14, inside DeAbreu’s Hill Street, Wilkes-Barre home in April 2012. Prosecutors say DeAbreu cleaned up blood stains, removed a gun and deleted cellphone material. DeAbreu’s attorneys ﬁled a request to reduce her sentence, based on claims that it was excessive. County Judge David Lupas denied that request Wednesday. DeAbreu has 30 days to appeal Lupas’ ruling.

The county matter has no bearing on elected collectors’ involvement in receiving school and municipal property tax payments. Lawton said the treasurer’s ofﬁce is developing a system allowing property owners to pay county taxes online with a credit card, debit card or electronic check. The ofﬁce will provide evening hours at least one day per week during rebate and face periods and at the end of December. The two-month rebate period allows property owners to receive a 2 percent discount before taxes are owed at the full amount, or face value, for another two-month period. A 10 percent penalty is then added to tax bills paid before the end of the year. For example, someone who owes $500 can pay $490 in rebate, $500 in face or $550 in penalty. If county tax bills are issued Jan. 21 as expected, the rebate period will run through March 21, and the face period would end May 21, said county Treasurer’s Ofﬁce Manager/Tax Administrator Laura Beers. In addition to collections at the county Treasurer’s Ofﬁce on the ﬁrst ﬂoor of the courthouse in Wilkes-Barre, the ofﬁce will accept payment at senior centers outside the immediate Wilkes-Barre area and a satellite ofﬁce in space used by county veteran affairs in the county-owned Broad Street Exchange building at 100 W. Broad St. in Hazleton. The schedule for those locations hasn’t been set. The ofﬁce also will receive payments on Saturdays during the rebate and face periods on the ﬁrst ﬂoor of the county’s Penn Place Building at the corner of Market Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Taxpayers will be permitted to park in the Penn Place lot on these Saturdays. A drop-off box also will be available at Penn Place for check and money order payments during county business hours. Lawton said he expects to add three clerical workers to handle the increased work, and the $300,000 estimated savings will be segregated so council can decide the best use for the money. Beers said the plan addresses concerns about the locations and times county staff will be available to serve taxpayers in person while offering the 24-hour convenience of online payment. “The Treasurer’s Ofﬁce is conﬁdent in its ability to effectively collect all county property taxes beginning in 2014,” Beers said. “We will be prepared to assume this major responsibility, having developed a multi-faceted strategy for tax season implementation.” 165 Hanover St., Wilkes-Barre 824-3227 or 417-8369 • [email protected] CAT & DOG VACCINE CLINIC Nanticoke Tractor Supply Co. 2456 Sans Souci Parkway ph. 735-5080 Saturday, August 17 9a.m - 1p.m. at Alaska volcano spews lava, ash but no danger The Associated Press 811365 DOG VACCINES: RABIES ($10), DISTEMPER ($15) LYME & KENNEL COUGH ($24 EACH), INFLUENZA ($20) CAT VACCINES: RABIES ($10), DISTEMPER ($15), FELINE LEUKEMIA ($20) CAT OR DOG MICROCHIP LIFETIME ENROLLMENT INCL.

Seismic activity and satellite imagery indicated Veniaminof Volcano began emitting a low-level lava ﬂow Sunday, after about a week of quiet behavior, said Game McGimsey, a volcanologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage. The volcano also produced an ash cloud of about 12,000 feet Monday, but it quickly dissipated. That was the highest of several plumes since the volcano began its eruption in June, and the ﬁrst since the activity settled down earlier this month. Veniaminof, pronounced ven-ee-ah-mean-off, has a 6 1/2-mile wide caldera, the large depression at a volcano’s center that usually is formed by the collapse of land following an eruption. Protruding from the caldera ice is a “central cinder cone,” McGimsey said. “That’s where all the activity it taking place,” he said. The lava ﬂows are not extensive, going down the side of the cone onto the ice on the caldera ﬂoor and not traveling much beyond the base of the cone, he said. “This is, in no way, hazardous to anybody, any villages or anything,” McGimsey said. Cloud cover has obscured the observatory’s webcam at Veniaminof, about 480 miles southwest of Anchorage along the Aleutian chain. The closest community to the volcano is Perryville, an Alutiiq subsistence village of about 110 people. A state website says the village was founded in 1912 as a refuge for Alutiiq people who were driven from their homes by the eruption of Novarupta, the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.

But that’s soon to change. Borough Council on Wednesday approved the purchase of a new building along West Cemetery Street currently occupied by Ehrlich pest control and Ameritech. The building is being sold by JCE Real Estate LLC, according to Borough Secretary Christine Casey. The second and third ﬂoors in the borough’s former municipal building were condemned when rain water and pigeons getting in through a faulty roof caused signiﬁcant damage. To get the building out of its condemned status, federal law states the borough would have to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards and install an elevator. The elevator was going to cost about $350,000, Gorham said. The building was cleaned and the roof repaired, but the cost to regain use of the whole building exceeded its value, Gorham said. The ﬁrst ﬂoor is now used for the secretary’s ofﬁce and round-the-clock police department. Public meetings have to be held in the ﬁre hall. Gaming grants from casino taxes to the tune of $400,000 will pay for most of the purchase, and capital investment savings the borough has been setting aside for about four years will make up the rest of the $550,000 purchase price, Gorham said. Money earmarked for design and renovations will defray the cost to bring the new building up to date. The two tenants will stay in the building and pay rent to the borough, said Council President Joe M. Gorham. “In essence, we’re looking to move into a new facility with relatively no cost to the taxpayers,” Gorham said. They hope to move all municipal functions, including the police department, meeting room and administrative ofﬁces to the 8,000 square feet available in the building by winter to avoid heating a drafty building at an exorbitant cost, Gorham said. The move is a sign of great belt-tightening, Gorham said. “We were nearly bankrupt four years ago. We’ve run a completely disci- plined borough and we are now in the black. In a time when most municipalities are struggling, we have a surplus,” Gorham said. “(Moving in is) going to be a proud moment realized for the hard work by the council.” King’s employee waives child porn charges pended without pay from his position at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, WILKES-BARRE — A pending the outcome of King’s College adminis- the charges.

She had been convicted in 2010 of second-degree murder and other charges and was serving 15 to life when that verdict was overturned on appeal. That conviction was reversed by the Appellate Division in December 2012 and the case returned to Broome County Court for a re-trial, according to the Press and SunBulletin. Authorities said she and 25-year-old Anthony Carnevale III tried to rob prescription drugs from the Kirkwood home of Ethan Button in January 2009, when Anthony Carnevale shot and killed Button’s guest, 39-year-old Jean Clark of Wilkes-Barre’s Parsons neighborhood. According to the Press and Sun-Bulletin, Anthony Carnevale was sentenced Jan. 27, 2010, to 25 years to life in prison and ﬁve years post-release supervision. He pleaded guilty Oct. 28, 2009, to second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. At the time of his guilty plea, Anthony Carnevale admitted he was the person who actually shot Clark and Button with a handgun. Button wrestled the gun away from Anthony Carnevale and wounded him, according to police reports at the time.

Flores’ birthdate as July 16, 1890. Condori said there is no birth certiﬁcate because they did not exist in Bolivia until 1940. Before that, births were registered with baptism certiﬁcates from the nearest Roman Catholic church, authenticated by two witnesses. “For the state, the baptism certiﬁcate is valid because in those days priests provided them and they were literate,” Condori said. He said he could not show Flores’ baptism certiﬁcate to the AP because it is a private document. The grandson says the family had to show the government the baptism certiﬁcate so Flores could qualify for a monthly subsidy for the elderly. To what does Flores owe his longevity? “I walk a lot, that’s all. I go out with the animals,” says Removal of turkeys from mental facility stirs anger The Associtaed Press Associated Press CARLOS VALDEZ FRASQUIA, Bolivia — If Bolivia’s public records are correct, Carmelo Flores Laura is the oldest living person ever documented. They say he turned 123 a month ago. The native Aymara lives in a straw-roofed dirt-ﬂoor hut in an isolated hamlet near Lake Titicaca at 13,100 feet, is illiterate, speaks no Spanish and has no teeth. He walks without a cane and doesn’t wear glasses. And though he speaks the Aymara language with a ﬁrm voice, one must speak directly into his ear to be heard. “I see a bit dimly. I had good vision before. But I saw you coming,” he tells a group of Associated Press reporters who drove from the capital, La Paz, after a local TV report about him. Hobbling down a dirt path, Flores greets them with a raised arm, smiles and sits down on a rock to chat. His gums bulge with coca leaf, a mild stimulant that staves off hunger that, like most Bolivian highlands peasants, he has been chewing all his life. Guinness World Records says the oldest living person veriﬁed by original proof of birth is Misao Okawa, a 115-year-old Japanese woman, while the oldest veriﬁed age on record was 122 years and 164 days: Jeanne Calment of France. She died in 1997. “I should be about 100 years old or more,” Flores says. But his memory is failing. His 27-year-old grandson, Edwin, says he fought in the 1933 Chaco war with Paraguay, but Flores said he only faintly remembers that. The director of Bolivia’s civil registrar, Eugenio Condori, showed the AP the registry that lists Carmelo NEW YORK — The removal of some turkeys from the grounds of a Staten Island mental health facility has some people crying foul.

Services spokeswoman Carol Bannerman said. Bannerman said the culling took place on Monday and Tuesday. She didn’t know how many birds had been taken. A spokesman for the state Department of Mental Health said the South Beach Psychiatric Center reached out to the USDA for help with the bird population. The federal agency had been granted a permit by the state Department of Environmental Conservation to undertake the removal. Animal advocate David Karopkin of GooseWatch NYC was among those decrying the killing of the birds. “For them to say there was no alternative other than rounding them up and slaughtering them is outrageous,” he said.

HELEN BARBARA SWENSKI Aug. 13, 2013 Helen Barbara Swenski, 92, of Lily Lake, Wapwallopen, died Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013, at home, surrounded by her loving family. Helen was born in WilkesBarre on Aug. 3, 1921. She was the oldest daughter of the late Joseph and Michaelena Sklarowski Klepadlo. She attended the former St. Mary’s Church of the Maternity “Polish School,” Marymount High School, Wilkes-Barre. She terminated her education early to go to work to help support her large family during the Depression. At a very young age, she learned, through her mother and father, the values of hard work, faithfulness, compassion, loyalty, humility, having fun and loving Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and savior. She grew to become a very caring, loyal and supportive wife and mother. She did domestic housework for the Gelbs on Market Street, then worked most of her life for the shoe and garment industry, working for Central Slipper, Faith Shoe and other area manufacturers. Helen was an avid ﬁsherwoman who spent countless hours ﬁshing in the waters of Lily Lake with her sisters-in-law, Stella Stavetski, Edna Morrelli and Josephine Coburn. She was a regular ﬁsher of bass and catﬁsh in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, until the ﬁsh commission bought Lily Lake in 1970 and introduced northern pike and muskies, ruining the ﬁshing back then. In her own way, she served her Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, as a ﬁsher of men. Now her soul is with Him in glory awaiting the end of this world. She married the late John Bernard Swenski in 1945 at the end of World War II and started raising her family in WilkesBarre and at the summer home in Lily Lake. Helen and John enjoyed 66 blessed years together in marriage with life’s ups and downs, trials, tribulations and happiness. John passed on Dec. 16, and his wife, Betty, Mountain Top, and Frank Stankunas and his wife, Royciene, of West Palm Beach, Fla. She was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews.

RUDOLPH J. ‘RUDY’ QUARTERONI Aug. 7, 2013 Rudolph J. “Rudy” Quarteroni, 74, a resident of Levittown and formerly a local resident, passed away Aug. 7, 2013, following a brief illness. Born in Kingston on July 2, 1939, he was a son of the late Rudolph and Leona (Kovalik) Quarteroni. He spent his early years in Luzerne and graduated from St. Nicholas High School, class of 1957, where he was a member of the varsity basketball team. He also attended Penn State University at the WilkesBarre campus. Rudy moved to the Levittown area, where he was employed by the Burroughs Corp. and, later, by Penn-Jersey Business Machines, Morrisville. For the past 18 years, he was employed by Newtown Ofﬁce Supply as a manager in the furniture division, where he designed and installed ofﬁce arrangements. He spent most of his spare time doing home improvement and remodeling projects, both of which he truly enjoyed and at which he was highly proﬁcient. Together with his wife, Rosemary, he traveled on many occasions, including trips to Australia, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Republican Steve Lonegan resoundingly beat his only challenger in Tuesday’s Republican primary. He’ll face Cory Booker, Newark’s mayor and already a popular ﬁgure in the national Democratic Party, who easily won his nomination as well, for the seat vacated by Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s death in June. A dogged campaigner, Lonegan used his ﬁrst news conference of the general election to attack Booker’s mayoral record, saying Booker would leave the state’s largest city with higher crime and unemployment rates than when ﬁrst elected. www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER SERVING THE PUBLIC TRUST SINCE 1881 Thursday, August 15, 2013 PAGE 11 Editorial Our OpiniOn: BriAn LEiGHTOn Aimee Dilger|The Times Leader A large crowd awaits a chance to question the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board Monday. Sorry, Wilkes-Barre Area School Board, your rationale fails. Asked by several residents about the questionable Aug. 1 hiring of Brian Leighton as home and school visitor, the board punted to solicitor Ray Wendolowski, a man who spent so much time trying to smooth over rough spots in board actions Monday he should buy a belt sander. The problem was twofold: First, as reported after the Aug. 1 meeting, Leighton was not recommended by the interview committee. Second, as reported by The Times Leader Sunday, Leighton’s state certiﬁcation was “inactive,” meaning he couldn’t legally hold the job. (The fact that Leighton is the brother of the mayor of Wilkes-Barre doesn’t help public conﬁdence, but it’s a side issue). While details will almost surely remain shrouded as “personnel” decisions, odds are excellent that Leighton was not recommended by the interview committee — comprised of district administration and staff — because of the certiﬁcation issue. The board’s hiring policy requires administration to winnow candidates by checking qualiﬁcations. Leighton would have likely been removed from the list of potential candidates by this paper screening alone. The board acknowledged Monday that Leighton was chosen over another candidate with fully active certiﬁcation (and a master’s degree, compared to Leighton’s bachelor’s). Wendolowski skated around the certiﬁcation issue Monday with semantics, contending that it was “incorrect” to say WBA explanation falls far too short Leighton lacks the proper state certiﬁcation for the job because he is certiﬁed (which this paper reported), but the certiﬁcation is inactive because Leighton has not completed continuing education courses required by the state (also reported). This is a distinction without a difference. As far as the state is concerned, Leighton can’t hold the position full time with his current status. Wendolowski acknowledged as much when he said Leighton had apparently completed course work to satisfy the continuing education requirements, and that a college transcript proving as much was on its way to the state. Wendolowski then noted — again, as this paper had done — that even with an inactive certiﬁcation, Leighton could work for up to 90 days as a substitute teacher. But here’s the rub: The ﬁve board members who voted to hire Leighton on Aug. 1 didn’t vote to make him a substitute, they voted to hire him full time. Nor did they vote to hire him pending any action by the state on his inactive certiﬁcation. They made no mention at all about his certiﬁcation problem. So either those ﬁve members voted to give Leighton the position full-time knowing he couldn’t legally have the job without state action and didn’t reveal that tidbit, or they voted to hire him not knowing it. The former is a blatant breach of public trust, the latter is a breach of due diligence. Papering over it all with tissue-thin semantics is outright insulting. YOur OpiniOn: LETTErS TO THE EDiTOr W-B Township getting black eye Again, Wilkes-Barre Township Volunteer Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich is arrested and charged with allegedly stealing taxpayer money. The FBI has to be brought in now; enough is enough, and dig even deeper. Mayor Carl Kuren has to step down and resign. He has no leadership skills. Mayor Kuren is becoming the laughingstock of Wilkes-Barre Township. Council members Katie Krutskie Arnone, John Jablowski, Mike Wildes, Gerald Shink, president of council, Mike Sromoski, also have to resign. Mayor Kuren and council did not stop fueling money to the ﬁre department. No receipts were apparently taken by business administrator Mike Revitt, no accountability was in place for the use of the money. Volunteer Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich answers to no one. Stop the money, stop the stealing. It’s that simple. Contract out to Ashley and Hanover Township until the investigation is complete and go from there. Mayor Kuren, are you listening? What or who, are you afraid of? Be a real man. Make a hard decision, and the right decision. Show the residents you have some guts. I call to the residents of WilkesBarre Township to ﬁnally realize how bad our mayor and council members are. They are in denial at the very least. Where is the solicitor, Bruce Phillips, in all of this? Where is his input or recommendations to Mayor Kuren and council, or is he just sitting there like a slug, getting paid by the taxpayers? Again, bring in the FBI , and again, the auditor general’s ofﬁce. Finally, put a stop to the abuse and behavior of a dysfunctional administration, and cronyism at its best.

Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711 out to Mr. Pohutsky and his spouse upon retirement as listed in the article (a hefty $27,000) plus the beneﬁts after retirement (God knows what this ﬁgure will be). Consider also that Leighton, as the article states may get “stepped up” and receive “column increases” in just a few years when he accumulates college credits (at taxpayer expense of course). In the ﬁnal analysis something is dreadfully rotten in the school district not just because the mayor’s brother was hired in an obvious manifestation of the mayor’s coziness with the board majority, but the fact that there is no indication that this hiring was necessary at all. Also, why should a home and school visitor be awarded the same salary and beneﬁts as a teacher? What oversight or supervision is going to brought to bear on him? Does he have the proper certiﬁcations for this job? These are signiﬁcant questions to which all taxpayers and residents of this school district deserve answers. While it is certainly disturbing that this person could be hired without the recommendation of the interview committee, it is even more alarming that this “truant ofﬁcer” is going to earn what should be considered an exorbitant salary and beneﬁts package when stacked up against his counterparts at other school districts. The ultimate question here is not necessarily how did this happen but instead where does it all end? A year or two ago the board seemed amenable, even encouraging, of a change in hiring policy. Now all can see what a travesty and sham that was as the real costs of Mr. Leighton’s hiring are exposed (other recent personnel decisions will also bear this out). Encourage the ﬁve-member majority to reconsider this action. And while they immerse themselves in that, they might also indulge in some soul-searching so that they might realize how they have again failed the taxpayers of this district by throwing overboard the attributes of integrity, accountability and transparency. Then they might do the right thing and resign before the school district ship founders on the reef of ﬁnancial ruin and moral turpitude. slain on the cross promising His return. Christians have suffered for their beliefs by hangings, torture, sacriﬁces to animals, beheadings, stretches on the rack and being burned at the stake. This was all performed by the power of Rome and the papacy. For 1,500 years these devils of Satan sat on the throne of lies and deceit by keeping the truth of Jesus from the populace. When the ﬁrst Bible was printed, the lies were revealed and the truth set them free. The reformers of Europe and England looked to America to establish a country with religious freedom. Our forefathers delivered the Constitution, which is the greatest document ever produced by man — that all men are created equal with the right to pursue happiness. Today these God-given rights are under attack by the powers of liars and deceivers known as politicians, Democrats, Republicans and anti-religious fanatics. You folks argue daily about who is goring who when right before your eyes the people you elect are thieves and liars and are destroying the last great country of the world. People are selling their souls for the crumbs from the devil’s plate. America will reap what we have sown. Joe L. Souder Berwick OTHEr OpiniOn: CuSTOMEr SErViCE Star treatment bad for Pa.DMV A New Yorker cartoon shows a customer at a fast-food counter served at a special roped-off lane for executives while kids in a line have to wait their turn. The joke is in the absurdity, but it carries to a risible extreme the idea that power and prominence can trump egalitarian values. As it turns out, the cartoon is on to something. The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles has a somewhat similar process for celebrities who come in to have driver’s licenses renewed. They can ﬁnd themselves at the front of the line while the ordinary people look on. It happened at the DMV ofﬁce in McCandless when Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby arrived to renew his license. Instead of having to wait, he was allowed to go to the front of the line. This isn’t a criticism of one of Pittsburgh’s best hockey players and most loved athletes. It’s not the person at issue here, it’s the principle. We call a penalty on the policy of favoritism that allowed this to happen. A DMV spokeswoman said supervisors across the state decide whether and when to let famous people go to the head of the line. The decision is based on how much potential for disruption there is from having a celebrity in the ofﬁce — disruption that could mean a longer wait for everyone. There is some logic to that, but it is a sad commentary on the cult of celebrity that people in a DMV ofﬁce might become unruly in the presence of someone famous. Supervisors should avoid giving preference until a real problem occurs. America is about equal justice and treatment for its people. It’s not about government agencies granting privileges to some, even if they are magniﬁcent skaters. Pittsburgh Post Gazette Griffith departure a loss to county Congratulations!

The headline and the article as written reﬂect an egregious bias or delusion of your reporter Mark Guydish who has obviously been covering the school district for too long.

Susan Belin, a longtime friend and neighbor of Scranton, remembered him as a “friend, mentor and inspiration.” She said he was a man of the world, a man of the people and a man of Scranton. “He was an astute businessman and a statesman,” Belin said. “He always focused through the lens of responsibility.” Belin described Scranton as a man of humility and humanity who had a sense of humor and who was always committed to making things right. She recalled watching Scranton dancing the Charleston and the polka and waltzing at his gubernatorial ball. Belin and Monsignor Joseph Quinn preceded the son of the former governor, speaking at the pulpit of the church the Scranton family helped build and furnish. “We all mourn his death,” Quinn said. “It is hard for us to imagine how he accomplished so much in just one lifetime, even though his lasted nearly one century.” The governor’s son said his father liked to tell stories, that he enjoyed an audience. “And those stories were all so worth hearing,” Scranton said. “He was an extraordinary man born into an extraordinary family in a city that bore his family’s name. This is the end of an era.” Scranton said that when his father nearly fell out of that airplane, he had decided to perform a roll, but had forgotten his canopy was open. “If it weren’t for his long legs and his elbows, this service might have been held 71 years ago.” Scranton described his father as a voracious reader with “far too many bookshelves.” He said his Ivy League education at Yale University prepared him well. He said he loved to exercise, playing tennis until he was 90. Scranton said his father did have an ego, but he “never gave it the keys to the car.” He said his father’s ego never drove him. Praise from ofﬁce holders Corbett said Wednesday’s service remembered a true public servant and a great man. “Gov. Scranton left our state better then he found it,” Corbett said. “His common-sense policies helped bring unemployment to new lows and opened up Pennsylvania to the world through international trade. When he was Guilty From page 1A Outlet Road home in Lake Township. First Assistant District Attorney Samuel Sanguedolce said Lee knew where the gun was inside the home and took screws out of a gun cabinet to obtain the weapon and ammunition. Lee ﬁred one shot, which struck his great-grandfather in the head. Lee’s father, Scott Lee, arrived home shortly after to ﬁnd Lee in the bathroom with the riﬂe. Scott Lee wrestled the gun away from his son before Lee ﬂed into the woods. Sanguedolce said a friend of Lee’s, Josh Gleco, observed the shooting through a front window. The prosecutor said that had the case gone to trial, the evidence would show that Lee had a notebook that outlined a plan he intended on carrying out, including killing his father and great-grandfather. Lee allegedly showed the list to a friend at school, Sanguedolce said. County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. asked Lee a number of questions about entering his guilty plea, and asked if the information stated by Sanguedolce was what he was pleading guilty to. “Yes, sir,” Lee replied. “The ultimate decision was his,” Olszewski told Sklarosky of discussions Lee had with Olszewski and his other attorneys, Charles Rado and Melissa Scartelli. “We advised him of the alternatives … we believe this plea is in his best interest.” As part of his plea agreement, Lee is not permitted to return to the Meeker Outlet Road home when released from prison. He’ll be sentenced on Oct. 25, Sklarosky said. Olszewski said his client has already served four years in prison and will receive Sheena Delazio | The Times Leader Cody Lee leaves the Luzerne County Courthouse Wednesday after pleading guilty in the shooting death of his great-grandfather. credit for that time toward his minimum of 14 years in prison. A woman who identiﬁed herself as Lee’s aunt said Wednesday when leaving court the guilty plea provides some closure, but that the process is still long and hard. Olszewski spoke Wednesday about representing Lee pro bono – free of charge – a decision he made in taking on Lee’s case shortly after the shooting. At the time, Olszewski said he and his wife, Scartelli, were out to dinner with Rado when they heard about the shooting on the news. Scartelli immediately expressed an interest in the case. Although Lee qualiﬁed for a public defender, Olszewski, Scartelli and Rado agreed to represent him for free. “It’s our chance to give back to the community,” Olszewski said. “This has been a lengthy representation … and we’re privileged to do it.” Properties Pete G.

Bob Casey, D-Scranton, said the service captured the essence of Scranton. “He was a good man — a great man,” Casey said. State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, said when anyone met Scranton, he was always interested in what you had to say. “He always listened,” she said. “He set a great example for all of us.” Ridge said Bill Scranton’s eulogy was a “remarkable tribute” to his father. Dan Meuser, state secretary of revenue, called Scranton “one of the most important ﬁgures in Pennsylvania history.” A life ﬁlled with love Concluding his eulogy, Scranton talked about his parents. He talked about his father’s devotion to his mother, who has been suffering from dementia for years. When Scranton and his father were returning to California in June, the two talked about life. They talked about children and grandchildren, all the while knowing that he had Gov. Tom Corbett speaks with the press before Wednesday’s memorial service for former Gov. William Scranton. Looking on is Corbett’s wife, Susan, right. just visited his hometown for the ﬁnal time. “My dad lived in a single room and mom lived in the room next door,” he said. “He told me he sleeps late, exercises, takes a shower, has lunch and then sits with my mom all afternoon into the evening. He said sometimes they would talk, but most times they just sat there in silence. “My dad never liked to sit still, but he told me he’d never been happier.” Scranton said his father’s other “love” was the people of the 10th Congressional District he met while campaigning door-to-door in 1960 when he ran for Congress. “People delighted him and he heard their stories of their struggles and successes,” Scranton said. “This experience humbled him, and he carried those lessons with him the rest of his life. He sincerely cared about people and he always wanted to make things better for them.” Scranton said his father was as much a part of Northeastern Pennsylvania as “anthracite coal, Old Forge pizza and Parodi cigars.” He said the people made him stronger. “He loved his wife and family,” Scranton said. “He loved his country and he loved his home — Scranton. He was a true gentleman who always made everyone feel like a million bucks.” Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows. pending amendment. In an e-mail Wednesday she said, “It is standard practice for the city to release information on code violations.” The list was longer than previous ones because it contains citations issued between April and July, she said. City ofﬁcials did not return a request for additional information on the citations. At a press conference a week ago the mayor took aim at problem properties and warned that they could be shut down for six months for crimes involving guns and drugs. “We will not condone people from outside the city or within the city to erode the safety and security that our residents deserve,” Leighton said. “We have made too much progress in rebuilding this great community to let it falter now.” City Council on Tuesday night approved the ﬁrst reading of the amendment and is expected to do the same at its next meeting on Sept. 12, clearing the way for it to become law 10 days later. The planned changes drew a mixed reaction from landlords who attended the meeting. A total of $46,250 in ﬁnes was issued to property owners whom the city said failed to have rental inspections performed and lacked rental licenses or property managers. Some properties were condemned. Others were labeled unsafe and unsecure, posted as unﬁt to live in. Some of the owners could not be reached for comment. The properties cited were located throughout the city, but Sambourne Street, which spans two blocks, had 10 entries on the list. In addition, there was a property posted on Sept. 21, 2012, and another posted as recently as Tuesday. On both sides of the street yellow notices were attached to doors and windows of vacant properties. A woman, who declined to identify herself out of fear of retaliation for speaking out, said she regularly contacted the code enforcement ofﬁce to report on a neighboring double-block house. “I think it should be condemned,” she said. “It’s not ﬁt for human habitation.” Golfer From page 1A obviously anything can happen. But you just have to stick in there and play the game.” Matthews seemed destined to earn the victory on Wednesday because he got off to a great start and played ﬁve shots better than his foe on the afternoon. With a win this morning at 10 against Gavin Green of Malaysia, Matthews will play later today with the hopes of advancing even further and keeping his streak of playing great golf going. He said he doesn’t know a lot about today’s opponent and has a good strategy. “All I know is that I have to beat one guy (today). I just need to beat one guy and then I get one guy in the afternoon, and so on and so forth.” Last week, Matthews won the Patterson Cup at Cedarbrook Country Club, shooting seven-under 65 in the ﬁnal round to tie the competitive course record. Also this summer, Matthews has earned victories at the U.S. Amateur Qualiﬁer and the Philadelphia Golf Association Open Championship, while also being an alternate at the U.S. Open Championship held at Merion Golf Club after shooting a four-underpar 67 in the ﬁnal round of a sectional qualiﬁer. He advanced to the sectional event by birdeying No. 18 to get in a threeway tie for low score of the day.

But Marcus Semien hit one hard [email protected] INSIDE T.L. Express, box score ...................4B off Zagurski in the 10th with a solo homer for a 3-2 lead. A sacriﬁce ﬂy gave the Knights an insurance run, handing the RailRiders with one of their worst losses of the season — and one that could be hard to rebound from with time running out in the season. The RailRiders made mistakes on the bases as well, getting picked off twice. Catcher J.R. Murphy made a costly throwing error in the 10th, and the team went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. 4 2 On top of that, the RailRiders squandered an opportunity to win it in the bottom of the ninth as they couldn’t bring home Ronnier Mustelier from third with just one out. The ﬁrst trouble Bootcheck got in was the top of the fourth. Leury Garcia led off with a single — the ﬁrst hit allowed by Bootcheck — and a one-out walk to Brent Morel put runners on ﬁrst and third. Bootcheck induced a ﬁelder’s choice grounder to get the second out but then issued a walk to load the bases. He got out of the jam getting Steve Tolleson to ﬂy out. The Knights started to hit Bootcheck hard in the sixth on a Semien deep ﬂy out to centerﬁeld and a double in the gap by Morel. But again Bootcheck didn’t allow the run to score. The right-hander allowed a single and a walk with one out in the seventh to get in another jam. But he got the last two batters to ﬂy out to end the inning and keep the shutout going. Dan Johnson’s RBI single in the bottom of the ﬁrst gave the RailRiders a 1-0 lead to give Bootcheck enough to work with until Alberto Gonzalez made it a 2-0 lead with a solo shot in the bottom of the ﬁfth. His second longball of the season was a line drive that bounced on top of the wall in left ﬁeld and over for the score. Social media exacerbates epidemic of NFL injuries AP Pro Football Writer Talk of the Twitterverse NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE ARNIE STAPLETON New England’s Tom Brady watched his long throw sail past rookie Aaron Dobson just as Tampa Bay defensive end Adrian Clayborn pushed 320-pound left tackle Nate Solder into him during a joint practice Wednesday in Foxborough, Mass. Brady hit the ground, rocked backward and held his left knee — the same one he tore up in the 2008 season opener that forced him to miss the rest of the year. Even before he limped off the practice ﬁeld, Twitter went nuts, and not just because it was a two-time MVP quarterback. Every twisted ankle and sprain has become a trending topic this preseason, giving the impression there’s an injury epidemic at training camps from coast to coast. Teams say that’s all it is — an impression. “A lot of times there’s a little bit of panic because all we hear about is all the guys who get hurt in training camp,” said Denver Broncos Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-boss John Elway. “That hasn’t changed from when I played.” What has changed is how that information is disseminated.

AP photos NFL’s competition committee, noted that while some bigname players have been lost to major injuries, like torn ACLs, every bump and bruise seems to quickly become part of the national narrative. With so many bloggers competing with traditional news sources for eardrums and eyeballs, “what goes on in the rush to break news now is that people don’t have the same standards to conﬁrm the injury,” McKay said. “They want to make a splash on Twitter and sometimes it’s not reality.” See INJURIES | 3B PHILADELPHIA — Nick Foles, you’re up. Foles will be the starting quarterback when the Philadelphia Eagles play their second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. Michael Vick started last week’s 31-22 to loss to New England and now it’s Foles’ turn to take the ﬁrst snap. The two quarterbacks have been alternating days starting out with the ﬁrst team so coach Chip Kelly said last week Foles would go ﬁrst this time because Vick opened the ﬁrst game. Vick was 4 of 5 for 94 yards, including a perfect 47-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson in two series against the Patriots. Foles lost a fumble on his ﬁrst series, but led the Eagles to a TD on his next one against New England backups. “I need to go out there and execute the offense and put points on the board,” Foles said. “That’s always been the ultimate goal. Just learn from the last one and move forward, just take these practices and get better. It’s the same way I’ve approached everything I’ve always done. I’m not changing anything. I’m going to keep doing the things that I’ve done my whole life that got me here, and that is just work as hard as I possibly can and take it one play a time.” Both quarterbacks are expected to play about one quarter apiece against the Panthers. Kelly has both listed as the No. 1 guy on the unofﬁcial depth chart, and he’s in no hurry to pick a starter.

The most recent count indicates there are at least 266 nesting pairs of bald eagles in 56 Pennsylvania counties, up from 237 a year ago. The agency plans to consider the change in status at a board meeting next month, but any vote would have to occur after that. “This year marks just another high point in the spectacular and widespread recovery of bald eagles in Pennsylvania, and it’s clear that the deﬁnition of a threatened species no longer describes them accurately,” said biologist Doug Gross, who leads the endangered and nongame birds section. Threatened species are those considered to be at risk of becoming endangered in the near future.

Keisel, who is in the ﬁnal year of his contract, has no plans to retire at season’s end, and the reliable 34-year-old doesn’t plan to let those emotions affect his play on the ﬁeld either. “I’m not saying it will be my last season,” Keisel said. “I’m just saying it’s the last year on my contract. That’s all it is. I’m excited about this year, and we’ll see what happens after that.” Age hasn’t caught up to the energetic Keisel, who is playing the best football of his career. Keisel started 30 of the previous 32 games, ﬁnishing with 58 tackles and a career-best 40 quarterback pressures last year. He earned his ﬁrst career Pro Bowl nod in 2010 and was named a third alternate the following year. “I don’t feel like age has bothered him at all,” Steelers’ linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. “Brett has been here for a long time and he provides energy to our defense. He has some type of youth juice.” Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, right, was injured earlier this week at training camp in St. Joseph, Mo. AP photo Injuries Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel (99) stands on the sidelines talking with teammates during the fourth quarter Saturday against the New York Giants. AP photo From page 1B All this in a year when the NFL put limits on padded practices, issued new mandates on thigh and knee pads and made rules changes to protect players on both sides of the ball. Elway said he doesn’t think there are any more injuries than before, and McKay, whose committee recommends rules and policy changes to the NFL, said owners won’t get the injury ﬁgures from training camp until their October meeting. As a result, he said it’s too soon to tell if there’s been a spike in any type of injury or at any particular position for that matter. “We have no hard data yet,” he said. “We’ve had some ACL injuries so far. Last year, it was Achilles injuries in camp. I want to wait for the six weeks of training camp and the preseason and compare year to year and allow the experts to evaluate if there’s any more injuries or if the injuries are different than in years past. But I don’t think there’s any more.” Like Brady, Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles also created quite a buzz on social media. Charles, who missed an entire season two years ago with a torn ACL in his left knee, turned his right foot midway through practice Monday, gingerly climbed into a green cart and was taken to the locker room. Twitter was atwitter with “NFL insiders” giving conﬂicting accounts, some saying the Chiefs feared the worst, others saying they were relieved. Coach Andy Reid briefed reporters when practice ended and said it was a strain and that X-rays were negative. Then, the speculation turned to how long the Pro Bowl running back would be out. On Tuesday, with speculation about Charles’ injury still running rampant, the Chiefs trotted out their trainer, who said Charles had his foot examined by two orthopedic surgeons and they conﬁrmed the team’s diagnosis of a mild strain. The league has barred ball carriers this season from using the crown of their helmets to make forcible contact with a defender in the open ﬁeld and eliminated the peel-back block. The changes were the latest involving safety, and head injuries in particular, with the issue receiving heightened attention amid lawsuits ﬁled by former players claiming that the NFL didn’t do enough to prevent concussions in years past. Camps had barely opened when Broncos center Dan Koppen, Chargers linebacker Melvin Ingram, San Diego receiver Danario Alexander and Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin went down with torn anterior cruicate ligaments. Bengals All-Pro receiver A.J. Green bruised his left knee trying to make an acrobatic sideline catch on the ﬁrst day of camp. “I can’t say that it’s unique to this preseason,” said St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher, co-chair of the league’s competition committee with McKay. “Unfortunately, preseason injuries are a part of the game, and they happen every year. It’s just something that you hope that doesn’t happen to you.” Some players, like Rob Gronkowski and Michael Crabtree, didn’t even make it to training camp healthy. Receiver Percy Harvin was sidelined on the eve of Seattle’s training camp by a torn hip labrum that would require surgery, something he announced, ﬁttingly, on Twitter. The Steelers are in the process of instituting a youth movement on defense, revamping an aging veteran group that made three Super Bowl appearances and captured two championships. Several long-time members of those championship teams, vital to the Steelers’ success, are gone. The list includes Aaron Smith, Chris Hoke, and James Farrior, in addition to Casey Hampton and James Harrison, who weren’t retained in the off-season. RG3 takes first 11-on-11 snaps at Redskins camp JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer RICHMOND, Va. — At 2:05 p.m., under partly cloudy skies, with a few scattered chants of “R-G-3!” from the crowd, Robert Grifﬁn III took a snap from center Will Montgomery at the 50-yard line and handed the ball to running back Alfred Morris. History made, Washington Redskins style. Grifﬁn’s ﬁrst 11-on-11 play of the 2013 training camp. Like the moon landing, the sort of thing where you always remember where you were when it happened. “Not quite that dramatic,” third-string quarterback Rex Grossman said. “But I hear your point.” Actually, the payoff didn’t match the hype. Grifﬁn ran 16 plays with the ﬁrst-string offense against a scout team that was mimicking the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in preparation for the Redskins’ next preseason game. Wearing his familiar black brace on his right knee, Grifﬁn completed 7 of 10 passes with an interception. He moved well in the pocket, although he didn’t face much of a pass rush. “It’s like he never left,” right tackle Tyler Polumbus said. “We hardly even noticed that he just got back in there. He was the same guy he was last year, and the same guy he’s been in walkthroughs and 7-on-7 and all that.” Grifﬁn had been limited to 7-on-7 drills during camp as he works his way back from reconstructive knee surgery, part of coach Mike Shanahan’s cautious approach that has tested Grifﬁn’s patience. The difference between 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 is the presence of pass-rushing linemen who can test the quarterback’s ability to change directions in a hurry. Yet Grossman said it would be a stretch to categorize Grifﬁn’s snaps Wednesday as true 11-on-11 work. Secondstringer Kirk Cousins, for instance, took back the reins when the starters faced the starters in the two-minute drill, with Grifﬁn again a spectator. “He looks great,” Grossman said. “Right at seven months is where I felt like I was healthy when I tore my ACL. He’s pretty much ready to go. I would say he’s 90 percent capable of doing everything.” Even so, Grossman understands Shanahan’s approach. “If somebody were to fall in a competitive drill on his knee, everybody would have secondguessed it,” Grossman said. Patriots QB Brady limps off with injury HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A person familiar with the injury says Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sprained his left knee in a practice Wednesday and his return is day to day. An MRI on the knee was negative, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t made an announcement. The two-time league MVP limped off the ﬁeld midway through New England’s joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Left tackle Nate Solder was pushed into Brady by Tampa Bay defensive end Adrian Clayborn. The twotime league MVP, entering his 14th NFL season, rocked backward on the ground and held his left knee. He went to the sideline, then returned for a few more plays before talking with coach Bill Belichick and leaving the ﬁeld under his own power. Brady tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the 2008 season opener and missed the rest of the season. He has played every game since then. “You’ve always got to stay away from the quarterback” in practice, Clayborn said. “You got a guy on his heels and my instinct is to keep going, so that’s what I did.” The contact came after Brady threw a long incompletion down the right sideline toward rookie Aaron Dobson. “We’re always working to protect,” Solder said. “I’ll have to see what happened on the ﬁlm. I screwed some things up here and there.” Broncos’ Miller arrested for failure to appear DAN ELLIOTT and ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press Writers DENVER — Denver Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller, already facing a suspension for violating the NFL’s drug-abuse policy, is now confronted by charges that he failed to show up in court on misdemeanor trafﬁc violations. Miller was arrested in the Denver suburb of Centennial on Sunday and then released, Arapahoe County sheriff’s detention chief Louie Perea said Wednesday. The Broncos released a twosentence statement saying they and league ofﬁcials are aware of the allegation that Miller didn’t appear at a court hearing. The matter is “being handled through the legal system,” the statement said. Miller wasn’t available for comment Wednesday. Coming off the ﬁeld after practice, he was whisked away by a member of the team’s public relations staff to sign autographs and take photos with wounded members of the armed forces before being escorted by another staff member into team headquarters before reporters could ask him to stop and answer questions. Miller was supposed to appear in court on Dec. 31 on charges of careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance, Arapahoe County court ofﬁcials said. The original citation was issued Oct. 25. The address where Miller was arrested is the Centennial Gun Club, a shooting range. A woman who answered the phone at the club Wednesday said the owner was in a meet- Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller signs autographs for the fans in Denver on Aug. 3. AP photo ing and unavailable for comment. The 24-year-old linebacker is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug- abuse policy. He has appealed and a hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Miller has said he did nothing wrong. It’s not known whether Miller will skip practice Thursday to attend the hearing. The Broncos have been treating Miller as though he’ll be in the starting lineup when they open the season Sept. 5 against the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, although they have contingency plans in place in case they have to do without their best player. If Miller loses his appeal, he’ll have to leave the team on Aug. 30 and sit out all of September, missing games against the Ravens, Raiders and Eagles at home and Giants on the road. Miller, who was named Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011, has 30 sacks over the last two seasons and consistently commands double teams. Broncos executive vice president John Elway said last week at a keynote breakfast event held by the National Sports Center for the Disabled that “there’s not a more talented football player on offense or defense that I’ve ever seen than Von Miller,” and suggested Miller and Peyton Manning were the two biggest reasons for all the Super Bowl talk in Denver this summer. Miller has had a terrific training camp despite the specter of a suspension hanging over him, and his teammates say he exudes a confidence in the locker room — which is off-limits to the media until the season begins — that he has a strong case that will result in at least a reduction in his suspension, if not an outright dismissal of the four-game penalty altogether. Foles From page 1B Barkley took snaps with the starters in Tuesday’s practice, Kelly joked that he would be the starter for Week 1 against Washington. “In the ideal world, we’d like to get them into the ﬁrst and second quarter, and not see those guys at all in the second half,” Kelly said about Foles and Vick. “But it depends on how it plays itself out.” Kelly didn’t show too much of his up-tempo offense last week, though he did use a variety of formations and sets. Vick estimated the Eagles ran less than one-third of their plays. The Eagles started out of the huddle against the Patriots and then went to a hurry-up with Foles before slowing down when Barkley came in. Kelly won’t give away his plans, but he suggested the team isn’t always going to be running that same fast-paced style he used at Oregon. “There’s times we’re going to have to play fast and times we’re going to have to play slow,” Kelly said. “Really, the game itself dictates what you’re going to have to do. I’ve said that all along. If you’re up, you don’t want to play fast, you want to work the clock. But there were certain things in that game we wanted to get accomplished. Our ﬁrst full game with ofﬁcials, so just trying to get a feel for it.” Running back LeSean McCoy, an All-Pro in 2011, will see his ﬁrst preseason action against Carolina. But ﬁve-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters likely won’t play because of a hamstring injury that’s sidelined him since July 31. On defense, the Eagles get a look at Cam Newton after seeing two opposite styles last week when they faced Tom Brady and Tim Tebow. Brady picked the secondary apart and the Patriots had their way running the ball against Philadelphia’s defense. “We would have hoped that it would look better than it looked,” defensive coordinator Billy Davis said. “I was hoping to be further along at this point, but the ﬁlm is the truth. The game tells you everything you need to know about where we are. We’ve got a lot of work to do in tackling still. In order to be a great defense, we’ve got to make sure we can ﬁt together as a team, and know how each individual’s technique is attached to the other techniques which are attached. And we’re still in the early stage of that learning curve.” New cornerback Cary Williams, who started for the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens last year, will make his Eagles debut against the Panthers. Williams has been in the spotlight for comments he made ﬁrst after skipping voluntary workouts in the spring and then saying this week the Eagles’ defense isn’t feared. Williams later clariﬁed his remarks, explaining that the Eagles are working toward building the type of defense the Ravens had. “I think every NFL defense, every defense in the NFL is striving to be a feared, respected defense,” Davis said. “The only way you can get to where you’re feared and respected is by playing great defense and being able to get off blocks, make tackles, stop the run.” PAGE 4B Thursday, August 15, 2013 sports www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER Penn State,Virginia Tech schedule series The Times Leader staff ABOVE: Runners take off in the first heat of The Chase Mile, The Valley’s Fastest Man and Woman series held at Kirby Park Wednesday night.

Photos by Amanda Hrycyna | For The Times Leader ‘Valley’s Fastest’series off and running For The Times Leader ROBERT MINER WILKES-BARRE — Phil Celona and Marina Orrson jumped out to early leads in the Valley’s Fastest Man and Woman 3-race series with wins in the ﬁrst of the three races, the Chase Mile, on the dirt track at Kirby Park Wednesday night. Celona, 22, of Philadelphia, held off Chris Bodary, 23, of Downingtown, scoring a one-second win in 4 minutes, 28 seconds. “We went over the ﬁrst lap pretty slow,” said Celona, who runs for the Jenkintown-Fairmont Running Company. “We took it progressively down over the three remaining laps.” Celona led throughout most of the race. But Bodary caught and passed Celona late in the race. But a determined Celona regained the lead and held on for the victory. “I wanted to regain the lead before we went into the ﬁnal turn so that I could run on the inside lane over the home stretch,” Celona said. “And that’s what I was able to do. Once I regained the lead, I gave it all I had over the home stretch. And I was able to hold him off.” Orrson ran away with her competition, winning easily in 5:22. The 22-year-old from Shavertown’s win was in wire-towire fashion. NOTES Blacksburg is closer to Penn State than most Big Ten cities, but the Nittany Lions have surprisingly never played a game against Virginia Tech. It will take another decade, but it’s ﬁnally going to happen. Penn State announced Wednesday it had agreed to a home-and-home series against the Hokies for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The Lions will head to Blacksburg on Sept. 17, 2022 and the Hokies will visit Beaver Stadium on Sept. 16, 2023. “We are excited to be able to announce this football series with Virginia Tech,” Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner said in a statement. “Virginia Tech is an opponent our alumni and fans have been asking about adding to the schedule. I am very appreciative of the efforts of (Virginia Tech athletic director) Jim Weaver to make this long-awaited matchup come to fruition.” Non-conference scheduling is getting trickier for the Lions, as the Big Ten is getting ready to expand to a nine-game conference schedule, leaving schools with just three games to ﬁll in themselves. Penn State already has a fourgame series with Pitt scheduled for 2016-19. CBS Sports reported last month that Penn State was in negotiations with West Virginia for a possible homeand-home series. If ﬁnalized, the games could slot in for 2020 and 2021, leading into the Virginia Tech series. On Tuesday, Penn State announced it would play host to San Diego State in 2015. The Lions will travel to Ireland next season to play UCF. LITTLE LEAGUE West Side 5, Harveys Lake/Swoyersville 2 West Side advanced to the losers bracket ﬁnals of the Swoyersville American Legion Post 644 12-andunder tournament Ryder Milia scored two runs for West Side while Jake Packer, Zach Davies and Nate Baranski each had one. Luke Spencer and Connor Smith led the offense for Harveys Lake/Swoyersville. Mountain Top Red 8, Kingston/Forty Fort 3 In a game played Tuesday, Chris Argenziano and Kevin Frisbie both blasted home runs to lead Mountain Top Red in the winners bracket ﬁnal of the Swoyersville American Legion Post 644 12-andunder tournament. Argenziano ﬁnished with three hits, while Frisbie added three runs in the win. Danny Polachek and Mykolas Bozenka each hit solo home runs for Kingston/Forty Fort. THE T.L. ExPRESS Chris Bootcheck’s strong outing was ruined by a late Charlotte rally as the RailRiders fell to the Knights 4-2 on Wednesday at PNC Field to fall to 59-66 this season. The Knights scored all four runs in the ninth and 10th innings to overcome a 2-0 deficit. RailRiders at the plate: They piled up eight hits with the big hit coming from Alberto Gonzalez, who hit a solo home run. Melky Mesa and Dan Johnson each had a pair of singles; Johnson’s first single scored Adonis Garcia in the bottom of the first. RailRiders on the mound: Starter Chris Bootcheck tied a seasonhigh going seven shutout innings but took a no-decision. Matt Daley threw a scoreless eighth, but Mike Zagurski had problems in the ninth and 10th, allowing all four Charlotte runs in getting hit with the blown save and the loss.

The second race is the Giants Despair Challenge — a 1-mile uphill trek up the famous auto racing course in Laurel Run, set for 7 p.m. on Aug. 21. The ﬁnal leg of the series is the River Street Mile at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 in Wilkes- Barre. Winners of the River Street Mile will receive $200. The male and female with the best combined-times for the three races in the series will win $500. There is also an additional $200 prize for anyone setting a course record. • The race is named in honor of Rich Chase, a runner from Larksville, who is a ﬁxture at nearly all area races and has been for many years. Chase has been battling cancer for nearly three years. But instead of giving in to the disease and its many complications, Chase continues to run almost every day. In March, Chase was presented with a plaque from race ofﬁcials from the Bear Creek 5K Run in recognition of his many contributions to the sport. George Dunbar, who presented Chase with the plaque, talked about how Chase often helped other runners with advice and training tips. “Rich has taught many local runners the deﬁnition of the word ‘tenacity’,” Dunbar said.

KNIGHTS 4-2 Hat trick From page 1B the Americans fell behind 2-0 before halftime. But Altidore set up Johnson’s goal in the 55th minute, controlling a long chip shot from Michael Bradley with a slight touch of his left foot. The ball fell right at Johnson’s feet and, with goalkeeper Asmir Begovic out of the net to block Altidore, Johnson neatly tapped the ball into the empty net to cut Bosnia’s lead to 2-1. Four minutes later, Altidore evened things up. Fabian Johnson slalomed through a crowd of Bosnian defenders, chipping the ball to Altidore. He took one shot and buried a left-footed shot from 16 yards that the diving Begovic had no chance to stop. It was Altidore’s fifth goal in as many games, breaking the previous mark he’d shared with Johnson, William Looby, Eric Wynalda, Brian McBride and Landon Donovan. “We came in (at halftime) and said, ‘Listen we can beat this team,’” Altidore said. “We came in and said, ‘We have more weapons, we’re just as conﬁdent as they are. We just have to put more passes together and be more conﬁdent.’ And you saw that in the second half, we created so many chances.” And turned them into goals. The Americans were awarded a free kick in the 84th minute when Edgar Castillo was tripped by Miroslav Stevanovic. Altidore lifted the ball over the wall of Bosnians and into the back of the net. Two minutes later, he ﬁnished off the hat trick with a shot from about 8 yards out. The win is sure to be a boost for the Americans when they resume World Cup qualifying next month. The U.S. travels to Costa Rica on Sept. 6, then returns home to face archrival Mexico four days later in Columbus, Ohio, in a game that could secure the Americans a spot in next year’s World Cup in Brazil. “This team is coming together at the right time,” Altidore said. “We have things to work on, but it looks like everything is coming together. The bigger picture is the World Cup and we want to be ready for that.” Bosnia, meanwhile, is looking to earn its ﬁrst trip to the World Cup. The Dragons sit atop Europe’s Group G with a three-point lead over Greece. Some have dismissed the U.S. winning streak, pointing out that 10 victories had come on home soil and all but one were against opponents from the North and Central America and Caribbean nations. The Americans didn’t put up much of an argument early, falling behind in the eighth minute when Johnson lost the ball about 23 yards out. The Bosnians quickly pounced on it and it was slotted to Dzeko, who picked it up just inside the 18-yard box. His ﬁrst shot deﬂected off Howard, but Dzeko was right there to collect the rebound and Howard had no chance to stop his leftfooted shot. List From page 1B Pennsylvania began trying to rebuild bald eagle populations 30 years ago, when only three nesting pairs were known, all in Crawford County. As recently as 2005, the number of nests was about 100. Eaglets from Canada were introduced to Pennsylvania as part of the program. “Pennsylvania has plenty of good bald-eagle habitat that’s not currently being used by eagles,” said commission executive director Carl G. Roe. “And as the years roll on, I’m sure eagles will give us plenty more to celebrate.” Experts say people should stay at least 1,000 AP photo feet from any bald eagle Bosnia’s Miralem Pjanic, top, jumps for ball during their nests and avoid doing anyfriendly soccer match against United States in Sarajevo, thing that might disturb Bosnia, on Wednesday. the animals.

Here are ﬁve things to look for from Pitt this season. • IN A RUSH WITHOUT RUSHEL: The departure of senior running back Ray Graham appeared to swing the door wide open for the Rushel Shell Era to begin. Yet the all-time leading rusher in Pennsylvania high school history decided to transfer after just one season. He ended up at West Virginia, where he’ll have to sit out a year before attempting to resurrect his career. Shell’s abrupt about face leaves Pitt with more questions than answers in the backﬁeld. Isaac Bennett and Malcolm Crockett — who combined for all of 191 yards rushing a year ago — will get the ﬁrst chance to start. “We have a great legacy at running back,” Bennett said. • JOURNEY’S END: Tom Savage appeared destined for stardom in 2009 after he threw for 2,211 yards and 14 touchdowns as a freshman at Rutgers in 2009. Now Savage is nearly three years removed from his last meaningful snap. He transferred to Arizona in 2011 and sat out the year only to ﬁnd out he wanted to be closer to home. Savage sat out last season after coming to Pitt but barring injury will almost certainly have the starting job against Florida State. • FINDING HIS GUYS: This is the ﬁrst time since 2010 the Panthers begin a season with the same coach as the year before. Chryst has spent the last 12 months weeding through his locker room trying to see who “really likes to play football” at Pitt. • STREET STAYS: Senior wide receiver Devin Street contemplated leaving early for the NFL but instead returns as one of the top wideouts in the ACC. • D O M I N A N T DONALD: Senior defensive tackle Aaron Donald comes into his senior year with 16.5 sacks over the last two years. He begins his ﬁnal season as an NFLready talent at the heart of a defense that will be tested by the speed of the ACC.

Those days are long over. The Sixers haven’t won it all since Julius Erving and Moses Malone led them to a 10 Clubhouse Drive. Drums, PA.18222 The Public’s Country Club 570-788-5845 Ext 1 sandspringsgolf.com championship 30 years. So, they’re turning to Brown to build them into a contender again. “To be here is surreal. I can still see Doc and George McGinnis and trying to take their photos (as a kid),” Brown said after he was hired to replace Doug Collins. The deal was completed earlier in the week, and Brown was ofﬁcially introduced as the 24th head coach in franchise history on Wednesday. Brown is the eighth coach to lead the Sixers since Larry Brown left in 2003. Collins resigned in April after the Sixers went 34-48, a year after advancing to the Eastern Conference semiﬁnals. He led the Sixers to the playoffs his ﬁrst two seasons and left with one year remaining on his original four-year deal. “We went through an exhaustive search to ﬁnd the right head coach for our organization, one who had a passion for developing talent, a strong work ethic to help create the kind of culture we hope for, and a desire to continually improve,” general manager Sam Hinkie said. “Brett has all of that. He also has a wealth of experience as a head coach and a championship pedigree, to boot. We are delighted to welcome him as our coach, and I am invigorated for the two of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work.” The 52-year-old Brown was part of three NBA title teams with San Antonio as an assistant and won another with the Spurs when he served in the basketball operations department in 1998-99. He left after that AP photo season to become the head Philadelphia 76ers incoming head coach Brett Brown, top right, coach of the Sydney Kings of the Australian National and general manager Sam Hinkie speak at a news conference Wednesday in Philadelphia.

The deal kicks in after the upcoming NHL season. Negotiations with the Penguins did not include Malkin’s parents, Vladimir and Natalia. A report out of Russia on Monday quoted Vladimir Malkin saying that negotiations with the Penguins were difﬁcult and that his son had considered playing for other teams — including the Dallas Stars, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens.

Soriano hit an early grand slam and became the third player to knock in at least six runs in back-to-back games since RBIs became an ofﬁcial statistic in 1920, according to STATS. The others were Texas’ Rusty Greer in August 1997 and Milwaukee’s Geoff Jenkins in April 2001. Robinson Cano went 4 for 4 to pass Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto for 15th place on the franchise hits list, and the Yankees hammered Angels ace Jered Weaver (7-6) in opening an 8-0 cushion by the second inning for Ivan Nova (6-4).

Carlos Santana and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who won for just the third time in 10 games. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis singled off Ryan Pressly (3-3) to open the 12th.

Brad Lincoln (1-1) worked 1 1-3 innings as the Blue Jays recovered to win after Boston’s Mike Napoli hit a game-tying, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth.

PETERSBURG, FLA. — Jason Bourgeois hit an RBI single to cap Tampa Bay’s two-run rally in the ninth inning KANSAS CITY, MO. — Miami took advantage of an error by Kansas City to score the go-ahead runs in the seventh inning, then turned to the bullpen to wrap up a victory. The Royals were leading 2-1 when Koyie Hill doubled off reliever Tim Collins (2-6) to start the seventh. Christian Yelich then hit a grounder toward third that utility man Elliot Johnson let through his legs, putting runners on second and third with nobody out. Donovan Solano and Logan Morrison followed with RBI groundouts to give the Marlins the lead. AMERICAN LEAGUE Tuesday’s Games N.Y. Yankees 14, L.A.

LOUIS — Francisco Liriano was dominant coming off the worst outing of his career and the Pittsburgh Pirates got home runs from Pedro Alvarez and Garrett Jones in a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night. The win snapped a season-worst four-game losing streak and gave Pittsburgh a three-game lead in the NL Central. Liriano (135) allowed four hits with six strikeouts and needed just 94 pitches to beat the Cardinals for the second time this year. He is 3-0 in his career against St. Louis. His last time out, the lefty was punished for 10 runs in 2 1-3 innings at Colorado.

Arroyo (11-9) allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked none in his second straight win. The crafty right-hander retired his ﬁrst nine batters and faced the minimum through six innings. Rockies 4, Padres 2 solid innings, catcher Yorvit Torrealba completed a remarkable double play by tagging out two runners and Colorado hung on to beat San Diego.

The Nationals matched their longest winning streak of the season and moved within one victory of .500 (59-60) for the ﬁrst time since July 20. The Giants scored once in the ninth off Rafael Soriano, and put runners on ﬁrst and second with two outs. Hunter Pence hit a drive to left-center, and Span ran it down near the warning track to preserve the win.

PAGE 8B Thursday, August 15, 2013 BUSINESS SAM HANANEL Associated Press www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER IN BRIEF Macy’s Inc. reported a disappointing proﬁt for its second quarter and cut its outlook for the year on Wednesday, with the department store operator blaming shoppers’ reluctance to spend for a slip in sales. Macy’s, which operates its namesake stores and Bloomingdales, is seen as a barometer of spending among middleto upper-income shoppers. Like other retailers, the Cincinnatibased company is grappling with a yo-yo economic recovery that’s making people more careful about their purchases heading into the heart of the key back-to-school selling period. For the period ended Aug. 3, Macy’s says it earned $281 million, or 72 cents per share. That’s short of the 78 cents per share analysts expected. A year ago, the company earned $279 million, or 67 cents per share. Retailer reports disappointing 2Q Likely Labor regs would aid vets, more WASHINGTON — With Thomas Perez now conﬁrmed as head of the Labor Department, the agency is expected to unleash a ﬂurry of new regulations that have been bottled up for months — a prospect that has business leaders worried and labor advocates cheering. Some long-awaited rules w o u l d help boost employment for veterans and the disabled, increase wages for Perez home health care workers and set new limits for workplace exposure to dangerous silica dust. Other, more controversial rules and actions could help labor unions in organizing campaigns and allow union ofﬁcials to take part in safety inspections at nonunion companies. “The general view of the business community is that there will be an activist, enforcement agenda,” said Michael Lotito, a San Francisco lawyer who represents employers in labor disputes. “That means there are going to be more lawsuits and the regulatory agenda is going to be alive and well.” In many cases, the pending rules have languished for two years or more, stalled by election-year politics and the delay in installing Perez as labor secretary. Republicans who opposed Perez say his record as head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division was one of ideological activism. But labor and workplace advocates call Perez a champion for workers’ rights. “American workers have an advocate in the Labor Department who will protect and defend workers’ rights — from collective bargaining to workplace safety to retirement security,” said Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The Senate conﬁrmed Perez last month on a party-line 54-46 vote, part of a deal in which Republicans agreed to end stalling tactics over several of President Obama’s nominees. Postal Service revamps priority mail program SAM HANANEL Associated Press Quite the year to own John Deere Deere & Co.’s third-quarter net income rose 27 percent, driven by booming agricultural activity in North and South America. The company easily beat most expectations. The farm and construction equipment manufacturer earned $997 million, or $2.56 per share, well ahead of the $2.17 per share that Wall Street was looking for. Revenue climbed 4 percent to $10.01 billion, the company said Wednesday, also topping most expectations of analysts polled by FactSet. The company last year booked earnings of $788 million, or $1.98 per share. For the three months ended July 31, worldwide equipment sales increased 4 percent on higher prices. Equipment sales rose 4 percent in the U.S. and Canada and 5 percent in other regions. Wholesale prices hold steady in July Falling energy prices kept a lid on U.S. wholesale inﬂation in July after a jump in gasoline boosted prices in June. The Labor Department reported Wednesday wholesale prices showed no change last month compared with June, when they rose 0.8 percent. That was the most in nine months. Energy costs fell 0.2 percent, after June’s 2.9 percent surge. Gasoline prices dropped 0.8 percent, and natural gas costs slid 3.9 percent. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core prices rose just 0.1 percent. Core wholesale prices are up 1.2 percent over the past 12 months, the smallest oneyear increase since November 2010. WASHINGTON — The ﬁnancially struggling U.S. Postal Service is revamping its priority mail program to raise revenue and drive new growth in its package delivery business. The agency is now offering free online tracking for priority mail shipments, free insurance and datespeciﬁc delivery so customers know whether a package will arrive in one, two or three days. Postal ofﬁcials said Wednesday they expect the changes to generate more than $500 million in new annual revenue. The changes — including redesigned boxes and envelopes — are effective immediately. The improvements come as the Postal Service is reeling from losses this year totaling $3.9 billion. The agency has been trying to restructure its retail, delivery and mailprocessing operations, but says its ﬁnancial woes will worsen without help from Congress. The changes to priority mail will help the Postal Service better compete with rivals FedEx and UPS in the increasingly lucrative area of shipping products purchased from online retailers, said Nagisa Manabe, the service’s chief market- The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service said Wednesday it is revamping its priority mail program as part of its efforts to raise revenue and drive new growth in its package delivery business. AP photo ing and sales ofﬁcer. “We’re looking at strong underlying growth as Americans increasingly shop online,” Manabe said in a conference call with reporters. She estimated the sharp pace of growth would continue “well past 2020.” Until now, priority mail has been advertised as a 2-3 day delivery ser- vice, with customers unable to know exactly how long it would take for a parcel to reach its destination. That left too much uncertainty, Manabe said, especially for small businesses. Now, they will know the speciﬁc date on which a package will be delivered. Demand from small business cus- tomers also helped convince the agency to offer free insurance, $50 coverage for most priority mail shipments and $100 coverage for priority mail bulk orders shippers. As part of the changes, the service has rebranded its overnight express mail service as priority mail express. That service will still offer $100 of free insurance. The Postal Service is launching a major advertising campaign to make customers aware of the new changes, including television ads starting next week. Newly designed priority mail boxes and envelopes are already appearing at high-volume post ofﬁces, and customers should see them nationwide within the next couple of weeks, Manabe said. The service has struggled for years with declining mail volume and a 2006 congressional requirement that it make $5.6 billion annual payment to cover expected health care costs for future retirees, something no federal agency does. The changes announced Wednesday come in one of the areas where the Postal Service can alter its business model without seeking congressional approval. The service would also like to end most Saturday mail delivery, but that has met resistance from federal lawmakers.

Eurostat, the European Union’s statistics ofﬁce, said the 17 European Union countries that use the euro saw their collective economic output grow by 0.3 percent in the April to June period from the previous quarter. That’s the ﬁrst quarterly growth since the eurozone slipped into recession in the last three months of 2011. The ensuing recession of -4.19 6-MO T-BILLS .08% n six quarters was the longest since the euro currency was launched in 1999. The improvement made up for the previous quarter’s equivalent decline and was moderately better than the 0.2 percent anticipated in the markets. Growth, however anemic, had been predicted by many economists following an easing in market concerns over Europe’s debt crisis over the past year and record low interest rates from the European Central Bank.

But they were not ready to declare victory, aware this is only the start of what is expected to be a slow and uneven recovery. The improvement was largely due to solid growth of 0.7 percent in Germany and a surprisingly strong 0.5 percent bounceback in France following two quarters of negative growth. Aside from Europe’s top two economies, there were signs of stabilization elsewhere, notably in Portugal, which expanded by a surprising 1.1 percent. Spain and Italy saw the pace of their economic contractions slow. There was even evidence that the recession in Greece, the country at the heart of Europe’s debt crisis, is easing, too.

5-year-old Jacob Yatsko has a message for you. He loves books and if you do, too, you are welcome to visit his Little Free Library, near Pole 195, where you can take a book, leave a book, and maybe write a message on the tablet. “We have a little bit of everything,” Jacob’s mother, Erin Yatsko, said last week. “Cookbooks, books on traveling, books on ‘Buckskinning 101.’ There are little prayer books, romance novels, children’s books, and I even put some magazines in there.” After Jacob’s father, Dave Yatsko, built the schoolhouse-shaped cabinet, Jacob painted a frog decoration on it himself. They set it up about six weeks ago, and young Jacob has been watching eagerly ever since for evidence that someone has taken a book or left another. So far, Erin Yatsko said, no one seems to have stopped. “I think they don’t know what it is,” she said. “They might think it’s a mailbox, or they might be afraid to touch someone else’s property.” But the whole idea of a Little Free Library is for people to use it and share books they would recommend to others, building a greater sense of community along the way. The concept began about four years ago when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wis., built a miniature library, about the size of a home bookcase, and set it up outdoors in honor of his mother, a school teacher who had instilled in him an appreciation for reading. He invited his neighbors to “take a book, return a book,” and the idea spread. Today there are more than 5,000 Little Free Libraries in the United States and other countries. Some have been established by Rotary clubs or Scout troops, others by individuals or families who serve as stewards. LeAnne and Jerry Brogan of Freeland set up a Little Free Library close to a year ago in Martin’s Square on Centre Street near “Freeland’s only traffic light,” where they know it gets a lot of use. “I see it every day on my way to work,” said LeAnne Brogan, 55, who is a librarian at Drums Elementary School. “We’ve had many different activities there; right now we’ve invited people to leave a photo of a favorite vacation activity.” On a recent Wednesday, the Little Free Library held dozens of children’s books, including an anthology of fairy tales, as well as such classics as “Romeo and Juliet,” “Lord [email protected] www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER LIFE Thursday, August 15, 2013 PAGE 1C Little Free Libraries liven neighborhoods with literature, generosity Aimee Dilger Photos /The Times Leader of the Flies” and “The Red Badge of Courage.” While Brogan regularly carries books in her car so she can replenish the supply if needed, other members of the community have responded generously. “Last year we sat there and gave out about 50 books to trick-or-treaters as part of a ‘safe Halloween’ event,” she said. “This year I put an ad in the paper asking for gently used children’s books, and now I have about See LIBRARIES | 2C LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES You can find them locally at: • Pole 195, Harveys Lake • Behind the Dunkin Donuts, 1318 Wyoming Avenue, Forty Fort • In Martin’s Square, Centre Street, Freeland Other Little Free Libraries nearby in Pennsylvania exist in Taylor, Carbondale and Honesdale.

RACHEL WEAVER The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Scrolling through friends’ socialmedia feeds can be a way to pass time, a way to stay connected or, in some cases, a way to feed a sneaking suspicion that you’re missing out. With social media letting us know about everything and anything our friends are up to, a concept called Fear of Missing Out is getting more attention by psychologists and sociologists, who are researching its causes and effects. Fear of Missing Out, popularly referred to as FoMO, is the apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences without you. Those experiencing it have a pressing desire to stay continually connected with what others are doing. “On social media, you’re seeing all these choices, and all these options out there,” says Christine Whelan, University of Pittsburgh visiting assistant sociology professor. “You don’t know which one to pick. With too many choices, we can get over- “Man, I used to build forts and walk barefoot through the creek catching salamanders. Kids today spend their lives on Facebook.” Michael Kane, 30, Greensburg whelmed and then can’t make a decision.” A recent study called “Motivational, Emotional, and Behavioral Correlates of Fear of Missing Out,” by researchers at the Universities of California, Rochester and Essex, examines the concept. The team created a quiz that asked participants about their social-media use, such as when and how often they check it, and how they feel when they see friends’ posts. The study found while social resources provide a multitude of opportunities for interaction, there are more options than could ever possibly be pursued. That can affect people’s moods and overall life satisfaction, researchers claim. “More than 40 years of empirical research indicates that the need to belong, to be cared for, and to care for others is a fundamental human need,” says Andrew Przybylski, one of the study’s authors. “Social media allows us to connect and share in new ways that open us up to a host of social opportunities we would have never known existed. I think that fear of missing out is a symptom of us having to balance a new deluge of social possibilities against our need for quality relationships.” Experts agree that constantly checking social media also can make people feel like their own lives are less interesting than others’. “If you see everyone else posting these glamorous shots, you think you should have a similar life,” Whelan says. “You have to realize that people are just posting the good stuff. Their lives aren’t perfect. It’s not a representative version of reality, but it does play into your insecurities.” In some cases, those insecurities can develop into real problems, Whelan says. “If you think all your friends are more successful than you, it can really give you a complex,” Whelan says. “If you take everybody’s Facebook posts at face value, you’ll think everybody is incredibly witty, all jet-setting off to Timbuktu all the time. Life doesn’t work this way. Most people have pretty mundane lives.”’ Separation anxiety Dr. Alicia Kaplan, a psychiatrist at Allegheny General Hospital, says See SOCIAL |2C FROM 1,000 SF TO 1 MILLION SF. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS O PAGE 2C Thursday, August 15, 2013 LIFE www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER Libraries From page 1C have about 800 in my basement.” Anyone who would like to donate a book for distribution at Halloween may drop it off at the Freeland YMCA on Front Street or at Videomania on Centre Street, she said. “We want to instill a love of reading in children,” said Brogan, who is writing a children’s book herself. “You’ve got to get them while they’re young.” Avid reader Katie Roarty, 15, of Luzerne, said she and her sister noticed another Little Free Library on a trip to buy doughnuts in Forty Fort. Forty Fort’s Little Free Library is behind the Dunkin Donuts at 1318 Wyoming Ave., where it is quite visible to anyone patronizing the drivethrough lane. The sisters didn’t know what it was but found the location listed on a geocache site and decided to stop by. “I left a book about Christian themes in C.S. Lewis’ ‘Chronicles of Narnia,’ ” Roarty said. “I took a mystery by Agatha Christie.” Indeed, at the Forty Fort location there have been lots of mystery stories, including “Murder by Mocha,” which is part of a Coffeehouse Mystery Series, and “The Homicide Hustle,” which is part of a Ballroom Dance collection of mysteries. “It was really fun just to ﬁnd it,” said Roarty, who thinks the Little Free Libraries are a charming idea. “It’s all about trust and honesty, because it’s on the honor system,” she added. If you look at the Free Library website, littlefreelibrary.org, where stewards can register their libraries and beneﬁt from increased exposure, you will ﬁnd some of the frequently asked questions are on that topic. Don’t worry about stealing, the website advises, because a free book can’t be stolen. And don’t worry about vandalism, because such incidents are rare. The concept of a Little Free Library is all about sharing. According to the website, “If this were just about providing free books on a shelf, the whole idea might disappear after a few months. Little Free Libraries have a unique, personal touch, and there is an understanding that real people are sharing their favorite books with their communities. These aren’t just any old books. This is a carefully curated collection, and the Library itself is a piece of neighborhood art.” Back at Harveys Lake, the Yatsko family hopes someone will stop and take a book and either bring it back or pass it on. Ideally, Erin Yatsko said, someone else might set up a Little Free Library on the other side of the lake and people could pass books along, from one location to the other. Jacob Yatsko examines the contents of the Little Free Library outside his Harveys Lake home. He and his parents placed the box and registered with Little Free Library and now have a spot where people can take or leave a book.

Feelings of not being welcome or getting your feelings hurt can intensify that.” William Reynolds Young, 24, of Castle Shannon, checks social media all day long — “part of this is my job, and part is the love!” he says — and it does sometimes make him feel as though he’s missing out on things. “The beauty of social media is, just like everyday life, you can’t do it all,” says Reynolds, who admits he does gets anxious if his phone has poor service and he can’t connect to social media. “The most recent and obvious example was at opening day of the Pirates. The cell coverage was horrid, and I found myself lost unable to read along with Twitter, share pictures or reply to folks,” he says. Social media is also a regular part of Katie Biehl’s day. “I check what I’ve missed overnight while I’m getting ready for work. I check periodically through the day at work. And I’m usually chatting with friends and other people throughout all of that. It’s one of the last things I look at before bed as well,” says Biehl, 32, of Monroeville. “Do I feel like I am missing out on things? Sometimes. If there is a cool event that I’d love to go to — for example a gallery crawl or one of the food-truck roundups — but I’ve got prior commitments or the kids can’t go, then I do kind of feel left out. But I also kind of feel included because lots of people upload pictures and retweet things, so I still feel like I know what went on.” Social media recently made Shawn Graham, 40, of Cranberry, feel like he was missing out on Pittsburgh’s concert scene. Someone he follows on Facebook frequently posts photos from shows around town. They were enough to make Graham want to have similar experiences. “I decided I was going to go to a concert and take my own pictures,” he says. Michael Kane, 30, of Greensburg, who uses social media primarily for business, makes a conscious effort to keep his phone out of his hands. “It certainly does pull my focus from the ‘real world,’ ” he says. “Am I able to do this successfully? Most of the time, unfortunately not.” Kane says he gets discouraged when seeing children constantly on their phones. “Man, I used to build forts and walk barefoot through the creek catching salamanders,” he says. “Kids today spend their lives on Facebook.” According to Przybylski, there is not a lot of good research that points to specific amounts of social-media use being bad for someone. “I think the quality of engagement is what is important in social media,” she says. Social-media use usually only becomes a problem if it keeps people from real-life experiences, experts say. “It’s a fine line,” Whelan says. “If you’re always on Facebook, then you’re always on a device and not interacting with people in the real world.” Visit our website for all of our services www.skinspawb.com All Peridot Jewelry in August 15% OFF JUNEStopinfo PEARL SpALE Pearls All Pearls RoxySaySStopinfoRouRpeRidotSale R ouRSALE eRidotSale Automatic $ at $26,999 * Starting MSRP $30,760 For Per MSRP $19,035 Only Month New 2014 Chevy Impala lS 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE LS 6 Cylinder Lease We will be closed 8/17-8/26.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLUBLUEBERRIES EBERRIES & CHERRIES PICK YOUR OWN Television has taken its share of hits. One group blames it for destroying the fabric of society, and another vilifies it as part of the general fattening of the nation. So why does Ron Levi want our dogs to watch it? Levi, founder of DogTV, a new subscription channel that premiered last week on DirecTV’s Channel 354, says in this case, television can be the hero. “The whole point,” Levi says, “is not for dogs to sit there and watch for hours. DogTV is there for them when they are alone. It will make them feel better, relax them, make them feel not so alone.” Levi, a television writer and professor, got the idea from his cat, Charlie, who didn’t like being left alone. Levi noticed that Charlie paid attention to television shows that had birds and squirrels on them, and that gave him the idea to use television as a tool to entertain and appease pets left home alone. I have to admit I was skeptical when I first heard about DogTV. My dog, Bailey, has rarely shown any interest in television, and when he has, it’s just been the sounds, not the pictures, that have attracted his attention. But I decided to give it a try and accessed the channel through the streaming option on their Web portal. DogTV has three segments that rotate through the day and night — relaxation, stimulation and socialization. At the time, the program was in the relaxation mode. Ethereal music was playing, and the screen showed a beach scene. A ball floating slowly across the image appeared to have flickering flames in it. I held Bailey up to the screen and waited to check on his interest, which turned out to be none at all. I tapped the screen. Look, Bailey, it’s a floating ball of flickering flames, I said. He looked at me and tried to get into my lap. The image changed. Now there were dogs lolling on grass, and the floating ball now contained undulating shapes. Look at the doggies, I said. Bailey hopped down and curled up on the day bed, giving me a “what are you trying to do to me?” look. I continued watching. The music played, the images flickered. I started to get drowsy; then I started to worry. What does it say about me that I’m more interested in DogTV than my dog is? I glanced over my shoulder to see if Bailey was watching from the bed, but he had found another thing to interest him, if you get my drift. He did seem more relaxed, though. When I talked with Levi, I told him his channel was a bust with my Chihuahua. He wasn’t surprised. “You’re always going 80012495 288-8995 • Forty Fort FURNITURE FOR LESS!

Children under 6 may not attend R rated features after 6pm 80022030 to be more important than the TV set,” he said. “It’s a great channel for when you’re not there, but when you are, you’re much more interesting.” DogTV is intended for dogs left alone. It plays in the background, and when the dog becomes anxious, he or she may be relaxed by the sounds and visuals. If the dog gets bored, the stimulation segment should liven things up. The socialization segment attempts to habituate dogs’ to day-today experiences such as ringing doorbells and vacuum cleaners. I definitely need to get Bailey watching that. The vacuum is his mortal enemy. “You’re always going to be more important than the TV set. It’s a great channel for when you’re not there, but when you are, you’re much more interesting.” — Ron Levi, Founder, DogTV Levi and his associates have a lot of science and experts behind their idea, and even though people may laugh when they first hear about the channel, they’re hoping they’ll give it a try and see the benefits. The numbers aren’t in on the debut — viewership is free through Wednesday — but with 20 million DirecTV subscribers, the potential is huge. If it’s a hit, CatTV may be next. “I can’t wait,” Levi says. “It will be an honor to pay Charlie back for the idea.” C O N S TRUC TIO N C O . IN C .

This year, one of my parents, a beautician, presented me with a gift certificate for a facial. Last week I made the appointment and was given a fantastic facial by this mom. I didn’t tip her afterward because I wasn’t sure how to handle a gift like this. Was I right in not tipping her? Since this was a gift from her, I’m hoping I didn’t insult her by not offering one. If I was wrong, I’d like to give her the tip she would have earned. — Wondering Teacher in California DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Teacher: Because the gift certificate came from the person who delivered the service to you, you did not insult her by not offering a gratuity. (In fact, had you offered one for her gift, it might have been taken the wrong way.) If the facialist who performed the service had been someone other than the mother, a tip would have been in order, but not in a case like this. The proper way to convey your gratitude for her fantastic facial would be to write a short note telling her what a treat it was and how much you enjoyed her gift. Dear Abby: My 14-year-old granddaughter, “Grace,” has confided to me that she’s smoking pot and drinking. When I asked her why, she said she does it to make herself feel better. I told her she has a serious problem, and something has to be done. Grace doesn’t want to tell her parents and, frankly, I think they would just yell and scream and not understand what’s really going on. What should I do? — In a Fix in California Dear In A Fix: You’re correct that this is serious, and something does have to be done. Alcohol and weed are not the solutions to your granddaughter’s problem. Self-medicating won’t fix what’s wrong and could make her problems worse. Grace needs to be evaluated and diagnosed by a physician. The way to ensure that it happens is to talk to her parents about the fact that you’re worried about her. If you make clear that Grace is getting stoned to “feel better” and not partying, they may be less inclined to react with anger. Dear Abby: My 25-year-old grandson has a problem, and we don’t know where to turn. Through student loans he has managed to get degrees in chemical engineering and biology with good grades. The problem is, he can’t interview. He freezes up and is afraid to face the interviewer. This means he is unemployable. He has no assets or income and lives with his parents. His father is disabled and hasn’t worked in years. Can you recommend any organizations, doctors or medications that can help him? — Hopeful in Michigan Dear Hopeful: Your grandson needs to discuss his problem with a psychotherapist who can help him overcome his disabling insecurity and perhaps prescribe a medication for his anxiety. There is a cure for his problem, and this is the quickest way to find it. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) UNIVERSAL SUDOKU CRYPTOQUOTE HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). The clarity you have now will lead you to make sound decisions. You breezily compartmentalize information, tasks, emotions and any other input that comes your way. This ability is a rare gift. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The different questions you have all seem to lead to the same answer again and again. It’s a good indication that you are resisting the truth in some way. Why don’t you want to hear it? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People want to be near you now, and if they don’t get the chance, they will be disappointed. Be aware of those around you and the popularity you might wield with them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Playing all day would be a fun option, but unfortunately, your many responsibilities prevent it. This is one of those days when you actually think about what else you would be doing if you weren’t such a mature person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The emotions run hot around you. Perhaps people are responding to your passion. The words spoken from a defensive person will be more extreme than the person actually feels. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will get your needs met. The requests you make are so of-themoment that you don’t need a method or rule for asking. You’ll do what feels right. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you have someone to whom you are willing to confess the foolish things you do, then count yourself among the blessed: You love and are loved. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A culture is being created around you as you hang around the same people every day. Maybe you’re not entirely thrilled with it, but you’ll look back later and call these times “the good old days.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People say they don’t need drama in their lives, but they sure do love to buzz about the drama in other people’s lives. Your own interesting tidbits will get plenty of attention now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re in another one of your curious and experimental moods. It’s the perfect time to dabble, as you only half-want things. Avoid concrete promises, and stick to the fantasy of vague notions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re constantly filtering your thoughts — claiming this one, heaping that one onto the rejection pile. Some rejected thoughts will wiggle out of the pile and back into your consciousness. You’ll file them differently this time around. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mind is in expansion mode, and your mouth is still trying to catch up. It’s like part of you is working on inventing the new language you will be speaking in the next phase of your life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 15). Your love is returned! This will start your new solar cycle off on a harmonious note. You’re getting really savvy in your financial, political and professional dealings. September sees you in the ultimate negotiating position. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 24, 38, 1 and 18.
