hunch that their lives in North-
eastern Pennsylvania were about
to change.
Both men work for the state
Bureau of Forestry in the Lacka-
wanna StateForest, jobs that take
them to some of the most scenic
places in the region.
But earlier this month, Bardzi-
louskas and Stout found them-
selves in southern California,
helping to fight wildfires so big
they were measured not in acres
As Tony Bardzilouskas and
Westley Stout followed the news
reports of massive wildfires con-
suming thousands of acres out
west this summer, they had a
but square miles.
Bardzilouskas and Stout were
summoned to California as part
of a cooperative agreement be-
tween the Bureau of Forestry and
the U.S. Forest Service to provide
personnel and resources wherev-
er they are neededinthe country.
We post what resources are
available, and when theres a
need in the country theyll call,
said DCNR district forester Nick
Lylo, who has also been sum-
moned to aid the fire command
logistics section in other states.
Its structured like a military op-
eration.
Its an operation that Bardzi-
louskas and Stout were happy to
be a part of when the call for as-
sistance came from California.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. President Barack Oba-
ma consoled victims of Hurricane Isaac along
the Gulf Coast on Monday and stoked the enthu-
siasmof unionvoters inthe industrial heartland,
blending a hard political sell with a softer show
of sympathy on the eve of the Democratic Na-
tional Convention.
At times like these, nobodys a Democrat or a
Republican, were all just Americans looking out
for one another, the president saidafter inspect-
ing damage inflicted by the storm and hugging
some of its victims. He was flanked by local and
state officials of both parties as he spoke.
There was nothing nonpartisan about his ear-
lier appearanceinToledo, Ohio. There, thepresi-
dent said Republican challenger Mitt Romney
should be penalized for unnecessary rough-
ness on the middle class and accused him in a
ringing Labor Day speech of backing higher tax-
es for millions after opposing the 2009 auto in-
dustry bailout.
Obamas trip to LaPlace, La., was a televised
interlude inthe roughandtumble of the political
campaign, four days after Romney accepted his
partys presidential nomination at the GOPCon-
vention in Tampa, Fla., and three days before the
president is nominated by Democratic delegates
in Charlotte.
Unlike Obama, Romney made no mention of
federal aid in his own trip to Louisiana last Fri-
day showing concern and support.

HONORING ST. JOSEPH ON LABOR DAY
BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
A
ngela Kuczenski of Yatesville prays at the statue of St. Joseph after a Labor Day Mass honoring St.
Joseph the Worker at Oblates of St. Joseph Seminary Chapel in Laflin on Monday morning. The Mass,
concelebrated by Oblate priests of the greater Pittston and Hazleton areas, concluded the annual tridu-
um which included special prayers for workers, the unemployed, and blessings for the new school year.
Once a model for other central
courts in Pennsylvania, Wilkes-Barres
Central Court is set to close by the end
of the month.
Preparations have already begun to
schedule preliminary hearings for
criminal cases at the two magisterial
district offices in Wilkes-Barre.
The closure of Wilkes-Barre Central
Court, located in the Thomas C. Tho-
mas building on Union Street, is an at-
tempt to save $150,000 to offset a pro-
jected $1.25 million county deficit.
Central court was a model for seven
counties when we opened up Central
Court (in 2006), said Martin Kane,
one of two magisterial district judges
inWilkes-Barre. Inmy mind, were go-
ing backwards, but I can appreciate
(President) Judge Tom Burkes posi-
tion with the budget.
Wilkes-Barre Central Court was ini-
tially established as Luzerne County
Central Court in 2006 and was de-
signed to speed cases through the
court system.
To the dismay of a few police chiefs
that criticized its operations, cases
were disposed at a much quicker rate
with plea agreements being worked
out between an assistant district attor-
ney and a defense attorney.

Moosic police arrested two
men and confiscated a stolen ve-
hicle in connection with a report
of shots fired in Rocky Glen Park
Sunday evening. They said inves-
tigation of the incident is contin-
uing.
Accordingtocourt documents,
Moosic police responded at ap-
proximately 6 p.m. Sunday to a
parking lot in the former amuse-
ment park off Rocky Glen Road,
where they were met by John
Fashouer, Brandon Emily and
Brian Mikelski.
The three toldpolice they were
approachedby a group of Hispan-
ic males who arrived in the park-
ing lot in several vehicles, includ-
ing a silver Fordpickup truck and
a black Ford Fusion sedan. The
men carried baseball bats and
guns and two of the men fired
gunshots in their direction, they
told police.
The witnesses told police they
had earlier in the day confronted
Hispanic males who were riding
ATVs or dirt bikes that the wit-
nesses believed had been stolen
fromtheir friends. They saidthey
left the area after more Hispanic
males arrived, according to court
documents.
An officer responding to the re-
port of shots fired, alerted by 911
operators to be on the lookout for
a silver pickup carrying an ATV
or motorcycle, stopped the silver
pickup on Springbrook Avenue
andtookthe driver, Victor Cardo-
na-Crespo, and a passenger, Ke-
vin Cardona, into custody, ac-
cording to court documents.
Police said two other men fled
from the truck as officers ap-
proached, one of whom they
identified as Josthann Cardona.
Officers also found a black Ford
Fusion in the area, and several
men fled the vehicle into a wood-
ed area as they approached, po-
lice said. Police were not able to
catch the men who fled. Police
said a records check revealed the
vehicle had been stolen from
Dickson City in July.
Police charged Cardona-Cres-
po, 43, of Scranton, and Cardona,
21, of Scranton, with criminal
conspiracy of aggravated assault,
reckless endangerment of anoth-
er person, criminal attempt of ag-
gravated assault and simple as-
sault with a weapon. They were
arraigned Monday at the Lacka-
wanna County Courthouse be-
fore District Judge Sean
McGraw, Carbondale, and are be-
ing held on $150,000 each in
straight bail at the Lackawanna
County Prison.
Police said investigation of the
incident is continuing.

LOS ANGELES Michael
Clarke Duncan, the hulking,
prolific character actor
whose dozens of films in-
cluded an Oscar-nominated
performance as a death row
inmate in The Green Mile
and such other box office
hits as Armageddon, Plan-
et of the Apes and Kung Fu
Panda, is dead at age 54.
Clarke died Monday morn-
ing at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles,
where he was being treated
for a heart attack, said his
fiance, Reverend Omarosa
Manigault, in a statement re-
leased by publicist Joy Fehi-
ly.
The muscular, 6-foot-4
Duncan, a former bodyguard
who turned to acting in his
30s, suffered a myocardial
infarction on July 13 and nev-
er fully recovered, the state-
ment said. Manigault is
grateful for all of your
prayers and asks for privacy
at this time. Celebrations of
his life, both private and
public, will be announced at
a later date.
In the spring of 2012, Clar-
ke had appeared in a video
for PETA, the animal rights
organization, in which he
spoke of how much better he
felt since becoming a vege-
tarian three years earlier.
I cleared out my refriger-
ator, about $5,000 worth of
meat, he said. Im a lot
healthier than I was when I
was eating meat.
Duncan had a handful of
minor roles before The
Green Mile brought him an
Academy Award nomination
for best supporting actor.
The 1999 film, based on the
Stephen King novel of the
same name, starred Tom
Hanks as a corrections offi-
cer at a penitentiary in the
1930s. Duncan played John
Coffey, a convicted murderer
with a surprisingly gentle
demeanor and extraordinary
healing powers.
Duncans performance
caught on with critics and
moviegoers and he quickly
became a favorite in Holly-
wood, appearing in several
films a year. He owed some
of his good fortune to Bruce
Willis, who recommended
Duncan for The Green
Mile after the two appeared
together in Armageddon.
Clarke would work with Wil-
lis again in Breakfast of
Champions, The Whole
Nine Yards and Sin City.
His industrial-sized build
was suited for everything
from superhero films (Dare-
devil) to comedy (Tallede-
ga Nights, School for
Scoundrels). His gravelly
baritone alone was good
enough for several animated
movies, including, Kung Fu
Panda, Delgo and Broth-
er Bear. Among Clarkes tel-
evision credits: The Appren-
tice, The Finder, Two
and a Half Men and The
Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Born in Chicago in 1957,
Duncan was raised by a sin-
gle mother whose resistance
to his playing football led to
his deciding he wanted to be-
come an actor. But when his
mother became ill, he drop-
ped out of college, Alcorn
State University, and worked
as a ditch digger and boun-
cer to support her. By his
mid-20s, he was in Los An-
geles, where he looked for
acting parts and became a
bodyguard for Will Smith, Ja-
mie Foxx and other stars.
The murder of rapper Noto-
rious B.I.G., for whom Dun-
can had been hired to pro-
tect before switching assign-
ments, led him to quit his
job and pursue acting full-
time.
Early film and television
credits, when he was usually
cast as a bodyguard or boun-
cer, included Bulworth, A
Night at the Roxbury and
The Players Club.

MELVILLE, N.Y. -- Oscar-win-
ning actor Russell Crowe lost his
way kayaking in Huntington Bay
off Long Island and was rescued
by a U.S. Coast Guard boat, offi-
cials said Sunday night.
He just needed a little bit of a
lift. He got a little bit lost, said
Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert
Swieciki, who aided the rescue
Saturday.
When the sun went down, he
didnt know where he was.
Best known for his lead role in
Gladiator, Crowe is filming the
biblical-themedNoah innearby
Upper Brookville. He anda friend
launched kayaks from Cold
Spring Harbor Saturday after-
noon and were at Lloyd Neck
when they saw the Coast Guard
boat about 10 p.m., Swieciki said.
Heshoutedat us fromthebeach,
and he paddled up to us, Swieci-
ki said. We took himto Hunting-
ton.
Crowe wasnt hurt and was
wearing a life vest, the officer
said, adding, He seemed pretty
knowledgeable about kayaking.
Swieciki called the actor pretty
friendly. Crowe tweeted about
the Coast Guard Sunday, thank-
ing them for guiding the way.

WASHINGTON Patient af-
ter patient asked: Is eating orga-
nic food, which costs more, real-
ly better for me?
Unsure, Stanford University
doctors dugthroughreams of re-
search to find out and con-
cluded theres little evidence
that going organic is much
healthier, citing only a few dif-
ferences involving pesticides
and antibiotics.
Eating organic fruits and veg-
etables can lower exposure to
pesticides, including for chil-
dren but the amount mea-
sured from conventionally
grown produce was within safe-
ty limits, the researchers report-
ed Monday.
Nor did the organic foods
prove more nutritious.
I was absolutely surprised,
said Dr. Dena Bravata, a senior
research affiliate at Stanford and
long-time internist who began
the analysis because so many of
her patients asked if they should
switch.
There are many reasons why
someone might choose organic
foods over conventional foods,
fromenvironmental concerns to
taste preferences, Bravata
stressed. But when it comes to
individual health, there isnt
much difference.
Her team did find a notable
difference with antibiotic-resist-
ant germs, a public health con-
cern because they are harder to
treat if they cause food poison-
ing.
Specialists long have said that
organic or not, the chances of
bacterial contamination of food
are the same, and Mondays
analysis agreed. But whenbacte-
ria did lurk in chicken or pork,
germs in the non-organic meats
had a 33 percent higher risk of
being resistant to multiple anti-
biotics, the researchers reported
Monday in the journal Annals of
Internal Medicine.
That finding comes amid de-
bate over feeding animals anti-
biotics, not because theyre sick
but to fatten them up. Farmers
say its necessary to meet de-
mand for cheap meat. Public
health advocates say its one
contributor to the nations grow-
ing problem with increasingly
hard-to-treat germs. Caroline
SmithDeWaal, foodsafetydirec-
tor at the Center for Science in
the Public Interest, counted 24
outbreaks linked to multidrug-
resistant germs in food between
2000 and 2010.
The government has begun
steps to curb the nonmedical
use of antibiotics on the farm.
Organic foods account for 4.2
percent of retail food sales, ac-
cording to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. It certifies prod-
ucts as organic if they meet cer-
tain requirements including be-
ing produced without synthetic
pesticides or fertilizers, or rou-
tine use of antibiotics or growth
hormones.
Consumers can pay a lot more
for some organic products but
demand is rising: Organic foods
accounted for $31.4 billion sales
last year, according to a recent
Obama administration report.
Thats up from $3.6 billion in
1997.
Want some chips to go along with this study?
Stanford University doctors
say theres little evidence
organic food is healthier.

DALLAS TWP. The rele-
vance of the 1987 U.S. Bishops
pastoral letter Economic Jus-
tice for All will be the topic of a
discussion Thursday at Miser-
icordia University.
Bishop Joseph Bambera of
the Diocese of Scranton will be
the keynote speaker at the 7
p.m. event that is free and open
to the public.
Timothy Kearney, Ph.D., as-
sistant professor and chair of
the universitys business de-
partment and moderator of the
discussion, said the document
still resonates 25 years after it
was written.
The one point that really
jumps off the page is jobs, he
said of his rereading of the let-
ter.
The economic climate back
then was not a heck of a lot dif-
ferent than today, he said.
The bishops at the time felt
the high unemployment rate of
7 percent should not be accept-
ed as the new normal, he add-
ed.
Its gotten worse, however, as
the nation struggles to emerge
from the Great Recession.
In July, the national rate
stoodat 8.3 percent andhas not
changed much since January,
according to the most recent
jobless data from the U.S. De-
partment of Labor.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
regions rate of 9.6 percent was
the highest in the state among
major job markets in July.
The Catholic Church is not
out of place in commenting on
economic issues, Kearney
noted. The bishops take on the
subject as teachers, not as tech-
nicians, he said.
Also taking part in the pro-
gramare Margarita Rose, Ph.D.
professor and chair of the De-
partment of Economics at
Kings College and Joseph Cur-
ran, Ph.D., associate professor
and chair of the Department of
Religious Studies at Misericor-
dia.
After the discussion, mem-

Luzerne County native Mickey
Straub has something he wants to
share with the 50 states: His patri-
otism.
Beginning today, Straub, 55,
who now lives in Chicago, plans to
venture to each state capitol on a
50 Capitols in 50 Days cross-
country trip. At each stop he will
recite the Gettysburg Address
while honoring military veterans.
Imdoing it for personal and pa-
triotic reasons, Straub said in a re-
cent interview. If youreadthe Get-
tysburg Address today, which is an
amazing andtimeless document, it
applies to the world today.
Straub, who lived in Wilkes-
Barre and Kingston until the age of
22, says his patriotism springs
from his pride in being from the
Keystone State where the Decla-
ration of Independence was signed
and the Gettysburg Address was
delivered.
Straub said his patriotism also
comes from working as an investi-
gator for the Department of De-
fense.
The Gettysburg Address was a
speech given by the 16th president
of the United States, AbrahamLin-
coln, on November 19, 1863. Lin-
coln delivered the speech during
the Civil War at the dedication of
the Soldiers National Cemetery in
Gettysburg.
Lincoln was all about freedom,
saving the union and equality,
Straub said, which can be applied
to todays standards.
Lincoln was not about himself
like so many other politicians,
Straub said. (The Gettysburg Ad-

ILKES-BARRE -- A recreational Wiffle Ball league will be rounding the bases at a
newly leased and renovated field in the city thanks to help from local online
voters and an international soft drink giants generosity. The Backyard Wiffle
Ball League moved into its new home at the site of the former North End Little
League Field on North Washington Street following months of discussion with
city officials.
We won a $10,000 grant from
Pepsi and we knew we wanted to
give back to the community, said
Kevin Sickle, who founded the six-
team league in 2004 with fellow
Wiffle Ball enthusiast Tom Hannon.
The field in North End was per-
fect for us, so were thrilled that the
lease worked out for the city and for
our league. It was a win-win for all
of us, he said.
Sickle said league volunteers are
modifying the currently unused
baseball diamond to reflect vintage
ballparks such as Ebbets Field, Fen-
way Park and the Polo Grounds.
According to Sickle, the Pepsi Re-
fresh grant is awarded to the top 15
vote-getters among community-
based organizations in a national
poll of online voters weighing in on
the organizations mission state-
ment and core ideas.

An auctioneers familiar staccato
call rose above the barnyard noises
on Monday signaling the beginning
of the 4H Livestock Auction at the
27th Annual Wyoming County Fair.
The popular sale featured hogs,
beef steers, lambs and goats raised
byWyomingCounty4Hmembersas
part of their annual livestock pro-
ject.
According to 4H officials, the
young members ages 8 through 19
havealist of projects theycanpartic-
ipate in each year, such as dairy, ma-
ple syrup, archery andriflery as well
as rocketry and electronics.
Themajorityof themoneyraised
through the auction goes directly to
the child who raised the animal,
said Pam Hemann of Meshoppen,
president of the Wyoming County
Fair Livestock Committee. A por-
tion of the funds go to the Wyoming
County Teen Council as well.
Beforetheauction, aluncheonfea-
turing local beef, lamb and goat was
served to prospective buyers gath-
ered at the fairs agricultural arena.
Hemann said that her committee
sponsored a cake, pie and quilt sale
to raise money for a 4H exchange
program that this year brought
young Kansan 4H members to our
area for a week of sharing with local
members and their families. Next
year, theWyomingCountymembers
will travel toKansas toobserve Mid-
western agriculture firsthand.
My time in 4H has been a great
experience, with great influences
and great friends, said 16-year-old
Will Phinney of Tunkhannock, who
raised two champion hogs for Mon-
days sale. Auction officials said it
has been customary for many of the
Gas and Energy companies working
intheMarcellusShaleReserveinthe
Northern Tier to be highest bidder
for many of the prize-winning ani-
mals at the auction and then donate
the livestock to 4H or local soup
kitchens.

Clinton urges united front
U
.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton called Monday for
Southeast Asian states to present a
united front to the Chinese in dealing
with territorial disputes in the South
China Sea to literally calm the wa-
ters. And she urged all involved to
make meaningful progress on a proc-
ess for ending conflicts by November.
In Indonesias capital Clinton offered
strong U.S. support for a regionally
endorsed plan to ease rising tensions
by implementing a code of conduct for
all claimants to disputed islands. Jakar-
ta is the headquarters of the Associ-
ation of South East Asian Nations, and
Clinton also pressed the group to insist
that China agree to a formal mecha-
nism to reduce short-term risks of
conflict and ultimately come to final
settlements over sovereignty.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Coke-stuffed chicken seized
The roasted chickens had an unusual
stuffing $150,000 worth of cocaine,
according to Nigerian police.
A Nigerian mechanic who struggled
in Brazil for more than six years had
hoped the drugs would buy him a life
of luxury in his native land, Nigerian
authorities said Monday.
This was like a retirement plan for
him, said Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokes-
man for the National Drug Law En-
forcement Agency.
The accused was arrested over the
weekend at the airport in Lagos after
he came in from Sao Paolo with 5.7
pounds of cocaine, Ofoyeju said. Pho-
tos from the agency showed egg-
shaped packages wrapped in gold alu-
minum foil and tucked into the
browned chickens.
The suspect, Vincent Chegini Chin-
weuwa, could not immediately be
reached for comment as he remained
in custody Monday.
GLENDORA, CALIF.
Wildfire grows 500 acres
A wildfire in the Angeles National
Forest that forced the evacuation of
thousands of visitors has grown anoth-
er 500 acres and additional firefighting
resources have been requested.
The fire, which broke out near a
campground Sunday afternoon, grew
overnight to about 4,100 acres, or
roughly 6 square miles, said U.S. Forest
Service spokeswoman Angie Lavell.
The flames continue to burn deeper
into a wilderness area away from any
structures, she said.
Campgrounds that typically attract
up to 12,000 visitors on the holiday
weekend, as well as rehabilitation cen-
ters and the private community of
Camp Williams Resort, were evacuated
on Sunday.
DETROIT
Biden truck recovered
Detroit police have released photos
of a male person of interest in the
theft of a Secret Service rental truck
carrying equipment related to Vice
President Joe Bidens Labor Day visit
to Detroit.
Agency spokesman Ed Donovan tells
The Detroit News that the U-Haul
truck stolen early Sunday outside the
Westin Book Cadillac hotel was found
Monday in a parking lot about three
miles away.
Donovan had said the truck had no
weapons on board. He declined to say
whether any of the equipment was
stolen.
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Eren Ste-
phens said in an email that investiga-
tors hope people will see the photos
and help identify the man.
Biden addressed a union rally Mon-
day to mark Labor Day. The rally was
near the hotel.

ISLAMABAD - A bomb injured two
Americans employed at U.S. consulate
in Peshawar Monday when a suicide at-
tacker rammed their vehicle, officials
said. Two local staff members of the
mission also were injured.
Two Pakistanis were killed at the site
of the explosion, while a further19 were
injured. The local police escorting the
American vehicle were among the vic-
tims.
The ability of militants to hit the con-
sulate staff at all was unusual. Extreme
security measures guard the movement
of U.S. diplomats and other American
staff based at the heavily fortified con-
sulate in Peshawar, a city in northwest
Pakistan close to the lawless tribal area
and the border with Afghanistan.
The powerful bombleft the American
SUV a charred skeleton. But it was al-
most certainly an armored vehicle,
whichis what couldhave savedthe lives
of those riding inside. Police put the
size of the bomb at 100 kilograms,
which left a wide crater in the ground.
Local television channels showed a
damaged American passport that be-
longed to one of the injured staff.
The consulate employees had "non
life-threateninginjuries," saidRianHar-
ris, a spokespersonfor the U.S. embassy
in Islamabad.
We can confirm that a vehicle be-
longing to the U.S. Consulate in Pesha-
war was hit in an apparent terrorist at-
tack. Two U.S. personnel and two Pakis-
tani staff of the Consulate were injured
and are receiving medical treatment,
he added in a statement.
No U.S. Consulate personnel were
killed, but we are seeking further infor-
mation about other victims of this hei-
nous act. We stand ready to work with
Pakistani authorities on a full investiga-
tion so that the perpetrators can be
brought to justice.
Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the informa-
tion minister of the provincial govern-
ment in the northwest, said that the car
of the bomber managed to slip in be-
tween the American vehicle and its es-
cort.
The message of these attackers is
that it is not safe for any foreigncountry
to have a consulate here, said Hussain.

NEW ORLEANS Tens of thou-
sands of customers remained in the
dark Monday in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, days after Isaac inundated the
Gulf Coast with a deluge that still has
some low-lying areas under water.
Most of those were in Louisiana,
where utilities reported more than
100,000 people without power as of
Monday morning. Thousands also
werewithout power inMississippi and
Arkansas.
Thousands of evacuees remained at
shelters or bunkedwithfriends or rela-
tives.
My family is split up, said Angela
Serpas, from severely flooded Braith-
waite in Plaquemines Parish. Serpas
and her daughter were staying with
her in-laws while her husband and son
were staying in Belle Chasse, a subur-
ban area of the parish.
This is the second time weve lost
our home. We lost it in Katrina, she
said.
Meanwhile, inspectors from the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency are out trying to get a handle
on losses. Residents can apply for
grants to get help with home repairs
and temporary housing, among other
expenses.
President Barack Obama visited
Louisiana on Monday, a day ahead of
the Democratic National Convention.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt
Romney visited the state Friday. Oba-
mas Homeland Security Secretary, Ja-
net Napolitano, visited Bay St. Louis,
Miss., and Slidell, La., on Sunday.
We are part of a team to make sure
Hurricane Isaac is put to rest as soon
as wecanfor all thoseaffected, Napol-
itano said. In the meantime, please
knowall of us are thinkingabout those
in Louisiana who are without their
homes or without their businesses.
At least seven people were killed in
the storminthe U.S. five inLouisia-
na and two in Mississippi.
More than 2,800 people were regis-
tered at various state, local and Red
Cross shelters in Louisiana, down
from around 4,000 earlier. State offi-
cials were uncertain howmany people
would eventually need longer-term
temporary housing. Kevin Davis, head
of the states emergency office, said
that housing would likely include ho-
tels at first, then rental homes as close
as possible to their damaged property.
Progress was evident in many plac-
es, though lingering flooding re-
mained a problem in low-lying areas.

tionally breacheda levee Sunday night

EIRUTThe Syrian
regime said Monday
there will be no dia-
logue with the oppo-
sition before the army crushes
the rebels, the latest sign that
President Bashar Assad is de-
termined to solve the crisis on
the battlefield even if many
more of his people have to pay
with their lives.
The statement comes a day after ac-
tivists reported that August was the
bloodiest month since the uprising be-
gan in March 2011.
There will be no dialogue with the
opposition prior to the Syrian armys
imposition of security and stability in
all parts of the country, Information
Minister Omran al-Zoebi told reporters
at a news conference in Damascus.
The opposition has long rejected any
talks with the regime until Assad is re-
moved from power.
Muhieddine Lathkani, an opposition
figure based in Britain, responded to
the ministers comments by saying the
key to any dialogue will be the depar-
ture of Assad and dismantling of the re-
gimes security agencies that commit-
ted all these crimes.
Lathkani told The Associated Press
by telephone that after that happens,
there could be a dialogue.
Earlier inthe day, the newU.N. envoy
to Syria acknowledged that brokering
an end to the civil war will be a very,
very difficult task.
Activists on Sunday said some 5,000
people were killed in August, the high-
est toll inthe17-month-olduprisingand
more than three times the monthly av-
erage. At the same time, the U.N. chil-
drens fund, UNICEF, said 1,600 were
killed last week alone, also the highest
figure for the entire revolt.
Thetwomajor activists groups raised
their total deathtoll for theentirerevolt
to at least 23,000 and as high as 26,000.
The civil war witnessed a major turn-
ing point inAugust whenAssads forces
began widely using air power for the
first time to try to put down the revolt.
ThefightingalsoreachedSyrias largest
city, Aleppo, which had been relatively
quiet for most of the uprising.
Last week, Assadsaidinaninterview
that his armed forces will need time to
defeat the rebels, an acknowledgement
that his regime is struggling to defeat
thetenacious rebels andanother indica-
tion that the civil war will be even more
drawn out and bloody.
In the latest violence on Monday, ac-
tivists said more than 100 people were
killed many of them in two air raids
that knocked out large parts of build-
ings inthenorthernprovinceof Aleppo.
Government warplanes bombed the
town of Al-Bab killing at least 19 people
and the Aleppo neighborhood of Mya-
sar where10people, includingfour chil-
dren, were killed.
The two main activist groups, the
British-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights and the Local Coordina-
tionCommittees, saidthe airstrikes tar-
geted a residential area in the northern
town of al-Bab.

WHOLE BATH REMODEL AT $7,800
PHILADELPHIA The for-
mer altar boys story was jarring,
even amid scores of priest-abuse
complaints in Philadelphia.
A policemans son, he told au-
thorities in 2009 that he had been
raped by three adults two par-
ish priests and his sixth-grade
teacher during grade school.
Hed gone on to a troubled life
marked by drug arrests, dropping
out of high school and nearly two
dozen stints in rehab.
Prosecutors believed his abuse
claims. They used his story to
help build a landmark conspiracy
case against the Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and
dubbed him Billy in their 2011
grand jury report.
Now the troubled young mans
credibility will be on the line
whentwo of the menhes accused
go on trial.
Theres going to be some
rough times in cross-examin-
ation. There always are, saidPhi-
ladelphia lawyer Slade McLaugh-
lin, who represents the 24-year-
old in a civil lawsuit against the
church. The broader conspiracy
trial ended in June with the con-
viction of Monsignor William
Lynn, thechurchofficial whokept
one of Billys alleged attackers,
former priest EdwardAvery, at St.
Jeromes despite an earlier com-
plaint. Avery pleaded guilty to
sexual assault in March in a deal
with prosecutors that netted him
two-and-a-half tofiveyears inpris-
on.
Lynn was the first U.S. church
supervisor convictedof endanger-
ing children by helping the
church shuttle accused priests
from parish to parish.
Theother allegedattackers, the
Rev. Charles Engelhardt and ex-
teacher BernardShero, goontrial
today.
And though Billy testified at
Lynns trial, his secondvisit tothe
witness stand may prove far more
treacherous. Lynnslawyerschose
not tocross-examinehimbecause
of concerns thejudgewouldlet ju-
rors hear about Averys plea if
they challengedBillys credibility.
But hes bound to face tough
questioning this time, as the 65-
year-old Engelhardt and 49-year-
old Shero fight rape charges that
could send them to prison for
years.
Hes been through it once, but
in a very different scenario,
McLaughlin acknowledged. Its
not yet clear whether defenselaw-
yers will be allowed to explore his
arrest record.
Accuser returns for another trial in Philly molesting saga
Rev. Charles Engelhardt and
teacher Bernard Shero are
scheduled to go to trial today.

Shero Engelhardt
TRENTON, N.J. Amanhigh
on PCP-laced marijuana stabbed
two neighborhood children in
their home while they slept, kill-
ing a 6-year-old boy and critically
wounding his 12-year-old sister,
authorities said.
Osvaldo Rivera was found hid-
ingbetweena mattress anda bed-
room wall Sunday afternoon in-
side a Camden apartment and
was charged Monday with mur-
der and attempted murder, said
Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for
the Camden County prosecutors
office.
The attack was the second re-
cent one in Camden, an impover-
ished city across the river from
Philadelphia, involving a child
and a suspect said to be high on
PCP and marijuana.
Rivera, 31, was being held in
jail awaiting arraignment, which
Laughlin said will likely be held
today. Laughlin didnt know if
Rivera had an attorney.
Police found blood-stained
sneakers inside the apartment
where Rivera was arrested that
matched bloody footprints in the
home where Dominick Andujor
was stabbed to death, Laughlin
said. The boys 12-year-old sister
had her throat slit while she slept
in the same room. She remained
hospitalized Monday at Cooper
University Hospital in Camden.
The hospital, though, has de-
clined to discuss her condition,
citing privacy reasons.

Evie Rafalko McNulty of Scran-
ton, has alsobeentaking inthe ex-
citement. The Lackawanna Coun-
ty Recorder of Deeds and a dele-
gate from the 17th Congressional
District arrivedinCharlotteSatur-
day and said the host city has wel-
comed convention-goers warmly
thus far.
WhentheysaySouthernhospi-
tality, North Carolina is a good ex-
ample, she said. They have just
been so receptive to us. Last elec-
tion, North Carolina was a blue
state by a small margin. If the re-
ception were receiving here this
year is any indication, then Im
sure its going to remain a blue
state this year as well.
On Sunday night, McNulty at-
tended a reception for delegates
from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ha-
waii and Illinois the birthplaces
and home states of Vice President
Joseph Biden and President Oba-
ma. On Monday, she schmoozed
at areceptionforPennsylvaniadel-
egates hostedbystateDemocratic
Party Chairman Jim Burn. And
this morning, McNultywill attend
a lunch meeting for female state
caucus members where candidate
for state Attorney General Kath-
leen Kane will speak.
In short, theres been a flurry of
activity even before the conven-
tions official opening tonight, but
McNulty maintained the party
gathering is not just partying.
In speaking to people Im un-
derstanding the issues more,
McNulty said. So that I could
come home and say to my friends
I knowtwothat areRomneysup-
porters and Im going to come
back and be able to tell them why
Barack Obama has the leadership
ability to leadthis country for four
more years.
State Sen. John Blake of Arch-
bald, a 10th District delegate, said
hisfirst partyconventionisprovid-
inghimanopportunitytonetwork
not only with fellow Democrats
from the state legislature but also
withhis counterparts inneighbor-
ingstates. Blakecalledit anoppor-
tunity to build partnerships and
consensus on common issues like
transportation and infrastructure.
Blake, who arrived in Charlotte
Saturday, said the more serious
side of the convention will begin
today, when he will attend caucus
meetings onrural issues andsmall
business development.
Local union organizer Roxanne
Pauline, a 17th District delegate,
said she too is looking forward to
rubbing elbows and talking strate-
gy with other delegates and con-
ventionattendees, evenmorethan
the speeches of the conventions
stars.
I want to see what the crowd is
like moreso than the speakers,
shesaid. Youcanalmost tell what
thespeakers aregoingtosay. Well
hear something fabulous fromMi-
chelle Obama; well hear some-
thingfabulous fromthe President;
of course well hear something
amazingfromBill Clinton, but this
is a convention about the people.
Its there to excite the people; to
get newideas across tothepeople.
Im really interested in meeting
with the people that are there.
This years convention is a first
for ThomShubilla of Plains Town-
ship, president of the Luzerne
County YoungDemocrats. Shubil-
la said he isnt sure what to expect
from the convention itself, but
hopes it will help the Democrats
recapture the enthusiasmthat car-
riedObama tothe White House in
2008.
I think four years ago during
the convention they were able to
recruit thousands of voters, so I
hope that finally we come out of
our shells and really start hitting
doors for the president, he said.
HealsosaidhehopestheDemo-
crats will challenge the rhetoric of
last weeks Republicanconvention
head on.
I think that they wrongly por-
trayed the president and his poli-
cies, said Shubilla, a delegate
from the 17th District. Thats
what they really attacked, and I
think that this is our time to really
counteract those arguments to
really address that we are going in
the right direction, and that going
backwards, where Mitt Romney
wants to take us, is the wrong di-
rection.
Attorney Todd OMalley of
Scranton, a delegate in the 17th
District, said the president and
other speakers do not need to de-
fend the administrations actions
because they are slowly get(ting)
us moving in the right direction,
despite attacks fromthe right that
say otherwise.
Theres beena lot of discussion
about whether were better off
than we were four years ago,
OMalleysaid. I thinkthats asim-
ple question. Our stock market
was at 6,000 then; its at 13,000
now. We were losing 800,000 jobs
a month, whereas weve added
morethan4millionjobs inthelast
two years. We were in two wars;
nowwereout of oneandwereget-
ting out of Afghanistan.
Joe Biden said it best; Osama
bin Laden is dead and Ford and
General Motors are alive, so a lot
of things are better thanthey were
four years ago.
OMalley has been a delegate at
multiple Democratic conventions
dating back to 1984, including in
2008andat this years convention.
He said he thinks the party is be-
ginning to recapture some of the
excitement that coalesced around
Obamas first run for the presiden-
cy.
We havent started yet, but I
think theres an awful lot of excite-
ment intheair andalot of enthusi-
asm, so Imlooking forward to it,
he said.

Can you help to quantify
math teachers impact?
I
t was interesting to read the letter from
Corny Salvaterra about Mr. Meyer Tope.
I was fortunate to have Mr. Tope as my
math teacher for two years, as did my
brother John Stanaitis. He was such an
inspiration to us that we both became
math teachers in New Jersey for more that
three decades. My goal was to become
the female Mr. Tope.
Some of our students became teachers,
and it is a great joy that the legacy will go
on. Perhaps we should have a shout-out to
all of Mr. Topes students and ask how he
inspired them. I doubt if you would get a
single negative response.
John and I were fortunate enough to
visit with him and thank him for all that he
had taught us.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
ONE OF the worst labor
clashes in the nation oc-
curred 115 years ago this
month just outside of Ha-
zleton.
Today, a marker where
the road splits as you enter
Lattimer is the only evidence that in the
late afternoon of Sept. 10, 1897 as many as
100 deputies under Luzerne County Sheriff
James Martin opened fire there on coal
miners seeking a pay increase of several
pennies a day and a better life for their
families. The average miners wage then
was as low as $1.30 a day. That was for a
10-hour day, six days a week.
Miners rented a company home, bought
merchandise at inflated prices at the com-
pany store, went to the company doctor
and even had to buy blasting powder from
the company (at up to five times the cost)
just to keep tunneling underground to
scratch out their meager incomes. To add
further insult, if you had not been born in
this country, you were subject to an im-
migrant tax recently imposed by an act of
the state Legislature!
A large portion of the testimony regard-
ing that days incident suggests the miners
were unarmed. They carried two American
flags, believing they enjoyed First Amend-
ment rights. They were proud of their new
lives in America. By days end, 19 would be
dead. Others would die in Hazleton hospi-
tals. The death toll rose to 25.
On Sept. 11, 1897, the miners who sur-
vived what already was being called the
Lattimer Massacre adopted a resolution,
asking in a newspaper ad for the residents
of Pennsylvania to weigh the facts and
judge for themselves. Had the sheriff acted
wantonly? Did the miners have the same
right to freedom of speech and assembly
that native-born Americans enjoyed?
Many people feared the miners wrath.
Nothing happened. They were orderly and
clung to the notion that justice would be
carried out in a murder trial that was sure
to follow.
That trial took place between Feb. 1 and
March 9, 1898, in the second-floor cour-
troom of Judge Stanley Woodward on Pub-
lic Square, Wilkes-Barre. The courtroom
was jammed to overflowing with specta-
tors. Leading national newspapers such as
the New York Times and Philadelphia
Inquirer attended.
Martin and the deputies were found not
guilty of murder. The people were incred-
ulous.
Those same miners who survived Lat-
timer speak to us today: We place our-
selves before the bar of public opinion and
appeal to the good citizens of the state and
country, and ask them if there was justifica-
tion or warrant in such assassination.
(Philadelphia Public Ledger, Sept. 13,
1898.)
We are accelerating our lack of knowl-
edge of the event at an astounding rate.
From that terrible Sept. 10, 1897, the min-
ers ask us today: Was there justification in
such assassination?
The memory of those who died that day
demands that we seek the truth.
Bill Bachman is a senior instructor in communi-
cations at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. His old-time
radio program, The Lattimer Massacre: A Radio
Play, premieres on Sept. 16 at the Dietrich Theater
in Tunkhannock. All seating is free to the public
through a Pennsylvania Humanities Council grant.

HE LESSON OF
Nikes $315 sneakers:
Whatever youre buy-
ing, theyre selling.
For more.
Who has $315 for a pair of
sneakers? Apparently enough
people to cause a stampede.
Thats why Nike has issued
safety guidelines to retailers
planning for the fall release of
its new LeBron X
Nike Plus basket-
ball shoe.
The shoes are not
to go on sale before
8 a.m. the first day, a
move meant to pre-
empt those mid-
night openings that
lead to parking-lot
brawls as customers camp out
to overpay for limited edition
Nikes to resell on eBay.
In December, police pep-
per-sprayed crowds at a mall
in Seattle, and customers
broke downthe door of a store
in an Atlanta suburb to get
their hands on the $180 Nike
Air Jordan XI Concord.
This time, Nike is counsel-
ing retailers to be prudent
and responsible in their ad-
vertising to avoid inciting the
public. No preselling shoes.
No reserved sales.
The LeBron X Nike Plus is
the companys most expen-
sive sneaker yet. Were not
sure what to make of that.
Breaking the $300 price bar-
rier is either a beacon of hope
for the economy or a sign of
the apocalypse. Maybe both.
Whats so special about the
shoe? Most of the advance
hype is about the built-in sen-
sors that can measure how
high you jump, which is not
the same thing as helping to
improve your jump.
For a lot of buyers, perform-
ance isnt the point, anyway.
All these limited editions and
rereleases are driven largely
by the collectors, or sneaker-
heads, who own
dozens of pairs of
pricey shoes that
have never been
out of the box.
That $315
price tag on the
LeBron X is part-
ly a reflection of
increases in the
cost of materials, shipping
and Chinese labor. But its al-
so an indication of what Nike
thinks consumers will pay for
LeBrons name and the gold-
en swoosh.
Those of us who just want
to keep our kids in gym shoes
are likely looking at higher
price tags, too. Across the ath-
letic footwear industry, prices
are up 5 percent to10 percent,
according to The Wall Street
Journal.
So you can expect to pay
more, whether your taste
runs to rocker-bottom shoes
that oops! dont burnfat af-
ter all or minimalist shoes
that simulate barefoot run-
ning except that theyre not
free. Whatever youre buying,
theyre selling. For more.

L
IKE MANY STATES,
Pennsylvania is faced
with the costly prob-
lem of financing its
public employee pensions.
One factor that makes it more
expensive here is the multi-
tude of tiny pension plans
that cover so many of the
states public workers.
Bloomberg News reports
that Pennsylvania has thou-
sands of local retirement
plans two-thirds of that to-
tal cover no more than10 mu-
nicipal employees each. One-
third of that subset have three
or fewer workers.
As with the thousands of
boroughs, townships, author-
ities and other municipal
units that abound in the state
and make for so much govern-
ment inefficiency, this kind of
small is not beautiful. Setting
up and operating such minus-
cule pension plans comes
with a price, usually in the
form of higher administra-
tion costs and lower returns
on assets from the banks that
run them.
If the state, which uses a 2
percent tax on out-of-state ca-
sualty andfire insurance com-
panies to help subsidize the
municipal pensions, would
use its leverage to move these
workers into larger plans, it
could reduce the cost per
worker. And, with the state
having funneled more than $4
billion to 3,200 local pension
funds between1985 and 2011,
thats a lot of leverage.
When the Legislature turns
its attention to fixing the
states pension funding prob-
lem (not until at least 2013),
the presence and cost of so
many tiny plans must come in
for scrutiny and reform.

us every day, laughed Sickle.
There were a lot of people
pulling for us in the communi-
ty.
Sickle said the original idea
for the league was to have fun
playing ball and to raise money
for local causes by sponsoring
charity tournaments.
We generally start our sea-
son in May with a charity tour-
nament, Sickle explained.
This year we raised over $900
for the Tyler Winstead Memo-
rial Fund.
Tyler was a 14-year-old
Wilkes-Barre boy who police
said was accidentally shot by a
friend in April.
League officials said they
plan to expand beyond their
adult league to include teen
and junior subdivisions.
I got into the league by acci-
dent, said Bob Loftus of Pitt-
ston, who joined BWBL in
2005. I actually read a story
about the leagues Wiffle Ball
tournament in The Times
Leader and decided to put a
team together to compete.
Of course they matched us
up with their best guys and
they beat us 2-1, but we gave
them a game. Its been seven
seasons and Im still here at 42
years old, having fun and work-
ing to make sure that this new
field is everything we envi-
sioned it to be, he said.

it was (in 1863). Its the core of
American fabric.
Straub hopes Americans can
recommit to Lincolns principals,
including God and liberty.
The youngest of six children
born to Al and Regina (Kasac-
zun) Straub, originally of Sugar
Notch and Ashley, he owns Sales
Activity Management, Inc., in
Chicago and Philadelphia.
He attended Bishop OReilly
HighSchool andmajoredincrim-
inology with a minor in political
science at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
Straub and his wife of 27 years,
Charmaine, have a daughter, Aly-
sa, 17.
During his 50-day trip, Straub
plans to explore each state capi-
tol, and then recite the Gettys-
burg Address outside each build-
ing. His aim is to get at least 16
people to recite the address with
him at each stop.
Hell begin the journey, fitting-
ly, in Gettysburg, then go on to
Harrisburg. The trip will con-
clude in Springfield, Ill. Straub
saidhe hopes toflyonlytoAlaska
and Hawaii.
Straubwill bedrivingaLincoln
Town Car on the trip, which
seemed appropriate, he said.
The Gettysburg Address,
Straub said, isnt filled with Is
like most of the speeches politic-
ians give today, but full of ours,
uss and wes, and refers to
veterans a number of times in
their honor.
Straub, a former Democrat
turned Republican, also runs a
nonprofit organization, Proud to
be Republican. He founded the
organization in 2008, and says he
is dedicated to helping Republi-
cans get elected.
Straub says the 50-day trip will
fulfill his patriotic and personal
motivations, and allow him to
check the trek off his bucket
list.
I want to minimize the regrets
in my life and I knew I would re-
gret this if I didnt do it, Straub
said. Hopefully, we (as Ameri-
cans) can work together to stay
together andwe candothat byre-

theres a chance you may get the
call, Bardzilouskas said. This
is my eighth assignment, so Ive
dealt with it before. You just
keep your gear ready.
Adding to the urgency of the
fires in California was the wild-
fire that struck Colorado earlier
this summer, torching more
than 300 homes and consuming
more than 14,000 acres.
There was certainlya height-
ened sense of awareness going
into this one, Stout said.
And as both men were fully
aware, no assignment is rou-
tine. Certainly not the 19 days
they spent in the southern Cali-
fornia desert.
There was a lot of shrub-type
bushes and highly flammable
fuels, so the fires were extreme-
ly fast-moving, Bardzilouskas
said. The overall landscape out
there is just much larger and
steeper, whichmakes the access
difficult at times. We had to
walk an average of five miles
just to get in because the access
wasnt there.
Those long treks just to reach
the fire required the firefighters
to spend the night on the scene
after they worked a 16-hour day.
The long days and nights left
Stout with images he will never
forget.
There were massive tracts of
wind turbines hundreds of
them, near the fire. That was a
big control issue, he said. Af-
ter the fire goes through, the
landscape looks like the moon.
Its a wasteland of ash and char-
red sticks.
And that wasteland would
present another challenge to
the firefighters the next day.
During the night, Stout said
he could hear trees falling in ar-
eas that had already been
burned. The fire weakened the
root systems enough that the
trees gave way, forcing crews to
cut newaccess routes to contin-
ue their fight.
And then there was the heat.
Daytime temperatures reached
106 degrees, Stout said, making
the work even more demand-
ing.
But the memory that sticks
with Bardzilouskas and Stout
the most is the sheer power of
the fire.
Just the immense size of the
flames, how they towered,
Bardzilouskas said. It sounds
like a train when the trees are
torching up. You can almost feel
the energy.
Stout said the flames reached
heights of almost 200 feet when
they climbed tall trees.
Out west theres a lot of pitch
pine, ponderosa pine and juni-
per all trees with a lot of resin
content and they burn almost
explosively, he said. Its just
like the scrub oak here. The fire
will just race through it.
Bardzilouskas and Stout
fought alongside firefighters
fromCalifornia andInteragency
Hotshot Crews teams of pro-
fessional firefighters employed
by the federal government.
The experience of fighting
fires in other states gave Bard-
zilouskas and Stout valuable ex-
perience in dealing with wild-
fires in Pennsylvania, which
they said are scaled-down ver-
sions of the fires out west.
There is so much real estate
out there and the wildfires can
get so large that it turns into a
containment process, Bardzi-
louskas said.
And while the firefighters are
trying to prevent the flames
from spreading, Stout said safe-
ty is always paramount.
Theres no such thing as an-
other day at the office with a job
like this. If you get complacent,
thats when bad things happen,
he said. Its about doing a dan-
gerous job as safely as possible,
whether its an acre-and-a-half
brush fire in Tunkhannock or a
thousand acres in the Mojave
Desert.
FIRE
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Westley Stout and Tony Bardzilouskas just returned from fight-
ing the wildfires in California.
Tony Bardzilouskas, 29, resides in
Gouldsboro and is a maintenance
repairman with the Bureau of
Forestry in the Lackawanna State
Forest. Since 2006, he has been
called to fight wildfires in Idaho,
Montana, northern and southern
California, North Carolina, Flor-
ida, Georgia, Minnesota, Colorado
and Wyoming. Bardzilouskas is
certified as a B-level faller, mean-
ing he carries a chainsaw to fight
the flames by felling trees and
establishing fire lines. Cutting
down certain trees is important,
he said, because if a fire climbs to
the top it can throw sparks and
spread the wildfire to other ar-
eas.
Westley Stout, 44, lives in Pitt-
ston and is a forest patrolman
with the Bureau of Forestry in the
Lackawanna State Forest. He is
certified as a firefighter type 2,
putting him in charge of ad-
vancing hose lines into the fire
area and performing initial attack
or mop-up duty. Stout also car-
ries a hand tool at all times to dig
lines or trenches to help maintain
fire lines.

At Central Court, everything
was negotiated, Kane said. By
the time the case got to the Court
of Common Pleas, everything
was worked out.
All that changed when Central
Court was modified in 2009,
sending preliminary hearings
back to the magisterial districts
where the crimes allegedly took
place, except for the two magist-
erial districts in Wilkes-Barre.
When Central Court opened to
host all preliminary hearings in
the county, the district attorneys
office was provided additional
funds to hire four assistant dis-
trict attorneys and support staff
to accommodate cases.
It remained unknown if the
District Attorneys Office will
lose funding with the closing of
Central Court.
According to statistics from
the Administration Office of
Pennsylvania Courts, there were
5,806 criminal case filings within
17 magisterial districts in Lu-
zerne County in 2011. In 2006,
when Central Court opened,
there were 6,940 criminal cases
filed.
County court administrator
Michael Shucosky said the clos-
ingof Wilkes-BarreCentral Court
is being performed in stages with
preliminary hearings being
scheduled in advance.
State law mandates prelimina-
ry hearings to be held within
three to10 days after the prelimi-
nary arraignment.
Everything is going back to
the home court of the magisterial
districts and because this is the
City of Wilkes-Barre, its going
back to Kane and (District Judge
Rick) Cronauer, Shucosky said.
Shucosky said senior district
judges, Andrew Barilla and Tho-
mas Sharkey, will assist if there is
a backlog of cases.

Louisiana.
In LaPlace, Obama went from
yardtoyard, shakinghands, em-
bracing residents, sometimes
posing for photos they snapped.
I know its a mess, he said of
the damage, but were here to
help.
He saidhe hadpromisedlocal
residents were going to make
sure at the federal level, we are

happened here, what can we do
to make sure that it doesnt hap-
pen again and expediting some
of the decisions that may need
to be made to ensure that we
have the infrastructure in place
to protect peoples property and
to protect peoples lives.
The federal government
spent more than $10 billion to
strengthen the levee system
around New Orleans after the
devastation of Hurricane Katri-
na seven years ago.
Obama noted that last weeks
flooding was in a different re-
gion, leaving open the question
of what the government might
do to prevent a recurrence.
A few hundred miles away in
Charlotte, the conversion of the
Time Warner Cable Arena intoa
political convention hall was
nearly complete. Democrats
convene there today..
Nearby, union members
staged a Labor Day march
through downtown. Though
supporting Obama, they also
expressed frustration that he
and the Democrats chose to
hold their convention in a state
that bans collective bargaining
for teachers and other public
employees.
There was disagreement
among the ranks of the march-
ers. I understand their frustra-
tion ... but do they really think
theyre going to be better off
with Romney? asked Phil
Wheeler, 70, a delegate from
Connecticut and a retired mem-
ber of United Auto Workers Lo-
cal 376 in Hartford.
Democrats chose the state to
underscore their determination
to contest it in the fall cam-
paign. Obama carried North
Carolina by 14,000 votes in
2008, but he faces a tough chal-
lenge this time given statewide
unemployment of 9.6 percent in
the most recent tabulation.
Romney relaxed at his lake-
side home in New Hampshire
with his family as Obama and
running mate Joe Biden sought
to motivate union voters to sup-
port them in difficult economic
times. The Republican challen-
ger took a mid-morning boat
ride, pulling up to a dock to fuel
up his 29-foot Sea Ray and pick
up a jet ski that had been in for
repairs.
In a Labor Day statement
emailed to reporters before he
left his house, the businessman-
turned-political candidate said:
For far too many Americans,
today is another day of worry-
ing when their next paycheck
will come.
Campaigning on Saturday in
Cincinnati, Romney had li-
kened Obama to a football
coach with a record of 0 and 23
million, a reference to the num-
ber of unemployed and under-
employed Americans.
Obama rebuttedhim48hours
later and play by play.
On first down he hikes taxes
by nearly $2,000 on the average
family with kids in order to pay
for massive tax cuts for multi-
millionaires. ... Sounds like un-
necessary roughness to me, he
said.
On second down he calls an
audible and undoes reforms
that are there to prevent anoth-
er financial crisis and bank bai-
lout. ...
And then on third down, he
calls for a hail Mary, ending
Medicare as we know it by giv-
ing seniors a voucher that leav-
es them to pay any additional
cost out of their pockets. But
theres a flag on the play: Loss of
uptoanadditional $6,400a year
for the same benefits you get
now.
Romney denies that his plan
to help the economy and reduce
federal deficits will result in
higher taxes for the middle
class. But he has yet to provide
enough detail to refute the
claim, and Obamas assertion
rests on a study by the non-par-
tisan Tax Policy Center.
As for the auto bailout that he
backed and Romney opposed,
Obama told the audience,
Three years later, the Ameri-
can auto industry has come
roaring back. Nearly 250,000
new jobs.

I
t is not so much what the resurgent
Baltimore Orioles have done but
what the NewYork Yankees have
not that is making a race out of the
American League East.
The Orioles showed they may stay in
it for the long haul, coming into New
York a place they never win and very
nearly walking out with a three-game
sweep and a tie for first place.
Theyre playing good, they have a
good team, Yankees captain Derek
Jeter said Sunday, after Baltimores 8-3
victory allowed the Orioles to win the
three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
They pitched, they hit, they beat us.
We didnt play well and they played
better than us the past three games.
Everyone knows the Yankees are
playing with a short hand right now.
Thats no excuse for leaning on minor
league call-up Chris Dickerson, who
celebrated his promotion fromScran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre over the weekend by
drilling a two-run homer in his first
at-bat of the season for NewYork and
then scoring the teams only other run.
You want to get that first hit, Dick-
erson said. To get that home run puts
you much more at ease.
The major league debut for Justin
Thomas looked easy enough, as the
lefty struck out the only batter he faced
Sunday after also being called up from
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. And Dickerson
added a nice over-the-shoulder catch
while playing center field, then added a
spectacular one by robbing a two-run
homer fromAndruwJones.
We thought that was going to spark
us, Dickerson said, that wed come
back.
Instead, the Yankees took a step back.
They lost three home series to the
Orioles for the first time since 1976, fell
to 7-7 against Baltimore for the season
and are just 3-6 against the Orioles at
Yankee Stadium as many losses
against Baltimore there as the Yanks
suffered during the three previous sea-
sons combined.
Hopefully, its a sign were becoming
a little better, Orioles manager Buck
Showalter said. Theyve been the
measuring stick for a long time.
Granted, a lot of that is a credit to the
much-improved Orioles and their new
never-give-up attitude under former
Yankees manager Showalter.
Howconfident are the Orioles right
now?
They came into NewYork wearing
T-shirts that read Buck the Yankees.
I think were the best teamthat
nobody talks about, said former Phil-
lies starting pitcher Randy Wolf, who
just signed with Baltimore on Friday
and picked up Sundays victory out of
the bullpen. When you hit September
and youre in a playoff hunt, thats what
makes baseball so much fun.
Its not a lot of fun for the Yankees
these days.
In the span of two weeks, they lost
stars Mark Teixeira and Curtis Gran-
derson froma lineup that had been
missing Alex Rodriguez, and lost com-
fort as their lead at the top of the AL
East shrunk fromfive games to just
two.
Were two games up two games into
September, Yankees outfielder Nick
Swisher snapped, before that lead fell to
a single game after Mondays action.
We get our guys back, well be right
back on the ball.
The Yankees cant count on that.
Only a three-run rally in Saturdays
seventh inning saved themfrombeing
swept and kept the Yankees alone at the
top.
It doesnt make a difference whos
hurt, Jeter said. We have to win by
ourselves. We cant sit around waiting
for guys to get back.
Because as this weekend showed, a
bunch of guys in Baltimore arent wait-
ing for success anymore.
Theyre coming.

DALLAS TWP. With the start of the
high school cross country season about
to get underway, there is a young, up-
coming star you might want to keep
your eye on Lake-Lehman freshman
Dominic Hockenbury.
The 14-year-old from Harveys Lake
he turns 15 on Oct. 5 will be compet-
ing as a freshman at the varsity level for
the Black Knights. And he is deter-
mined to make his mark.
My goal this season is to medal at
states, said Hockenbury on Saturday
before he was to compete in the Cliff
Robbins Sr. Memorial High School In-
vitational Cross Country Races at Let-
terkenny Fields. Ive trained as hard, if
not harder than anybody else. If my
training pays off, I should do well.
Hockenburys coach, John Sobocin-
ski, has high hopes for the freshman.
He is a student of the sport, said So-
bocinski. He pays attention to details.
Lake-Lehmans Dominick Hockenbury may only be a freshman but he has
some lofty goals for the high school cross country season. He wants to medal
at states.

Those two big zeros pretty much
tell the story; its the fifth time in her
career Williams won with whats
commonly called a double bagel.
Some other impressive numbers:
Williams won 60 of 89 points, built a
31-9edgeinwinnersandimprovedto
23-1since losing in the first round of
the French Open. That run includes
singles and doubles titles at both
Wimbledon and the London Olym-
pics.
Hlavackova knows this act all too
well: She and Lucie Hradecka were
the doubles runners-up at both of
those events. Not that those 2-on-2
encounters helped prepare for the 1-
on-1 match in Arthur Ashe Stadium
onMonday.
Singles is completely different,
said Hlavackova, who chose the
phrase What can you do? more
than once when analyzing what its
like to face 14-time major champion
Williams.

TORONTO Joe Saunders
and three relievers combined
on a three-hitter and the charg-
ing Baltimore Orioles blanked
Toronto 4-0 Monday, cutting
their AL East deficit to one
game.
The Orioles, who took two
of three at Yankee Stadium
over the weekend, moved even
closer to New York. The Yan-
kees lost 4-3 at Tampa Bay.
J.J. Hardy drove in two runs
as the Orioles won for the
eighth time in 10 games. Their
one-game gap marks the clos-
est anyone has been to the
Yankees since mid-June.
Acquired recently from Ari-
zona, Saunders (1-1) retired the
first 17 Blue Jays batters before
Adeiny Hechavarria lined a
two-out single to center in the
sixth inning.
Rays 4, Yankees 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
James Shields pitched eight
strong innings to outlast CC
Sabathia and light-hitting Chris
Gimenez drove in two runs,
helping the Rays beat the Yan-
kees.
The Yankees, who led by 10
games earlier this summer, had
their edge cut to one game by
Baltimore, which beat Toronto
4-0. The Rays moved within 2
games of New York.
Indians 3, Tigers 2
DETROIT Asdrubal Ca-
breras tiebreaking sacrifice fly
in the seventh inning lifted the
Indians to a win over the Ti-
gers, giving right-hander Corey
Kluber his first career victory.
Rangers 8, Royals 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Yu
Darvish retired the first 17
batters, Texas hit five home
runs and the Rangers beat the
Royals in a game that turned
testy.
Adrian Beltre and Nelson
Cruz homered on consecutive
pitches in the sixth inning.
Cruz watched his drive sail
over the wall, then was hit by
Louis Colemans first pitch
leading off the ninth.
Angels 8, Athletics 3
OAKLAND, Calif. Chris
Iannetta hit a two-run homer in
a three-hit day, Vernon Wells
had a solo shot and RBI single,
and the Angels snapped the
Athletics season-best nine-
game winning streak.
Mariners 4, Red Sox 1
SEATTLE Jason Vargas
pitched seven solid innings and
the Mariners sent Boston to its
season-worst seventh straight
loss.
White Sox 4, Twins 2
CHICAGO Gordon Beck-
ham hit a two-run homer and
Hector Santiago won in his
first major league start as the
Chicago White Sox beat the
Minnesota Twins.
After falling out of sole pos-
session of first place in the AL
Central on Sunday night fol-
lowing a 1-6 road trip and be-
ing swept by the Tigers, the
White Sox won the first of a
10-game homestand. They
moved a game up on Detroit,
which lost to Cleveland 3-2.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Ross Detwiler allowed four hits
in seven shutout innings and
Adam LaRoche homered Mon-
day, giving the Washington
Nationals their first winning
season with a 2-1 victory over
the Chicago Cubs.
The NL East-leading Nation-
als improved to 82-52. The
club moved from Montreal to
Washington for the 2005 sea-
son and went 81-81 that year. In
2008 and 2009, the team lost a
combined 205 games, then
finished 80-81 in 2011.
Phillies 4, Reds 2
CINCINNATI Jimmy
Rollins hit a three-run homer
off Johnny Cueto during a
cloudburst that sent fans scur-
rying for cover, leading Phila-
delphia over Cincinnati.
Rookie right-hander Tyler
Cloyd (1-1) got his first major
league hit and win. He singled
ahead of Rollins homer to
extend the inning. The 25-year-
old gave up four hits, including
Jay Bruces 30th homer, and
struck out nine in seven in-
nings.
Giants 9, Diamondbacks 8
SAN FRANCISCO Marco
Scutaro hit an RBI single in the
10th inning after Buster Po-
seys tying double in the ninth
as San Francisco rallied to beat
Arizona.
Astros 5, Pirates 1
PITTSBURGH Brett
Wallace had three hits, in-
cluding a three-run homer, to
lift Houston past struggling
Pittsburgh.
Cardinals 5, Mets 4
ST. LOUIS Rookie Joe
Kelly pitched 6 2-3 effective
innings and also doubled, and
St. Louis held off New York.
Kelly (5-6) allowed five hits
and two runs. He made his
second start after a brief stint
in the bullpen, and turned in
his longest outing of the sea-
son.
Braves 6, Rockies 1
ATLANTA Kris Medlen
struck out a career-high 12 to
lead Atlanta over Colorado.
Medlen (7-1) allowed five
hits without a walk in his sec-
ond complete game of the
season. He extended his streak
of scoreless innings to 34 2-3
the Braves longest since
Greg Maddux in 2000 be-
fore the Rockies scored an
unearned run in the seventh.
Marlins 7, Brewers 3
MIAMI Jose Reyes drove
in three runs and Miami
snapped a four-game losing
streak with a victory over Mil-
waukee.

Mathieus father: Ex-Tiger
to enroll at LSU
Tyrann Mathieus adoptive father
says the former LSU star plans to en-
roll in classes at LSU, even though he
cannot play football there this season.
Tyrone Mathieu tells WVUE-TV in
New Orleans that his son plans to
enroll at the Baton Rouge campus
Tuesday, the deadline for the fall se-
mester.
The football star known as the Hon-
ey Badger has been working out per-
sonal problems with former NBA coach
and player John Lucas in Houston.
Lucas battled drug and alcohol prob-
lems during his career and now coun-
sels others.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist
was kicked off the team at LSU Aug. 10
for failing drug tests.
LSU has declined to speculate about
whether Mathieu could play for the
Tigers in 2013. Mathieu also will be
eligible for the 2013 NFL draft.

DNC forces Panthers
temporary move to Florida
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Carolina
coach Ron Rivera says his players are
approaching their six-day trip to Flor-
ida this week like it was a college bowl
game.
The Panthers wanted to get away
from the hustle and bustle of the Dem-
ocratic National Convention that is
being held in Charlotte so they decided
to practice in Florida and prepare for
their regular season opener against
Tampa Bay.
President Barack Obama will give
his acceptance speech at Carolinas
home stadium Thursday night and
security around the facility is extreme-
ly tight.
The team (No. 20 in the AP Pro32)
leaves for the IMG Football Academy
in Bradenton, Fla., on Tuesday.
Urlacher back practicing,
shoots for opener
LAKE FOREST, Ill. Bears line-
backer Brian Urlacher returned to
practice Monday for the first time since
July 31, hoping to play in Sundays
season opener.
Urlacher did not stop to talk to re-
porters, but coach Lovie Smith said the
eight-time Pro Bowl player looked
good considering he had arthroscopic
surgery to his left knee Aug. 14.
Beyond Urlacher, the Bears also had
starting defensive tackle Stephen Paea
back from an ankle injury and starting
safety Chris Conte returning from a
shoulder injury. Defensive tackle Amo-
bi Okoye, who signed early Monday,
worked, and defensive tackle Brian
Price was cut when Okoye signed.

Dempsey speaks
about Fulham saga
MIAMI Clint Dempsey is re-

joining Tottenham after more than five
years with Fulham is over.
But for the next few days, his focus is
mainly on just one squad his nation-
al team, which plays a World Cup qual-
ifier in Jamaica on Friday.
Dempsey spoke about his surprise
move to Tottenham on Monday, when
the U.S. mens team began training in
Miami for the home-and-home series
with the Reggae Boyz.
Dempsey says hes disappointed
about how the move to Tottenham was
portrayed, but hes eager to get on with
this next stage of his career. Hes also
ready to return to the field after not
playing any competitive matches since
June.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann says if
Dempsey is physically ready, hell play
Friday.

referee rooms, reading the plays and
getting the calls down.
The league and the NFL Referees
Association, which covers more than
120 on-field officials, are at odds over
salary, retirement benefits and oper-
ational issues. The NFL has said its
offer includes annual pay increases
that could earn an experienced official
more than $200,000 annually by 2018.
The NFLRA has disputed the value of
the proposal, insisting it would ulti-
mately reduce their compensation.
With the stalemate, the NFL will use
replacements in the regular season for
the first time since the opening week
of 2001, days after the terrorist attacks.
Many of those replacements came
from the highest levels of college foot-
ball, something that has changed dras-
tically this year. The current replace-
ment crews are comprised of mainly of
officials from the Arena League, and
the NCAA Division II and III levels.
The league said it will handle the
officiating assignments the same way
it does in any other year, with the crew
for Wednesday nights game not being
announced in advance even though
theres increased interest in who works
the game.
Its one of those things where you
just look out there and its like the dif-
ference between having a high school
guy play in the NFL versus an NFL guy
playing in the NFL, Vikings punter
Chris Kluwe said. The speeds totally
different. Those guys are trying hard,
but theyre just not used to the speed
of the game and theyre missing a lot of
stuff.
But they are missing stuff for both
teams. In this game youve got to
overcome a lot of things, Broncos
coach John Fox said. Youve got to
overcome the other team. Sometimes
youve got to overcome your own mis-
takes. So, officials have always been a
part of it and theyve never been an
excuse. So, I dont care whos out
there, weve got to worry about how
were playing and well deal with what-
ever they call, whether its old guys,
new guys, middle guys. Their stuff
sometimes influences the game, but
youve got to overcome that.
Added Steelers defensive end Brett
Keisel: I know that these guys are
coming in here doing the best that
they can, but its really out of our con-
trol.

Continued from Page 1B
PHILADELPHIA Players on the
Philadelphia Eagles feel the same ur-
gency to win as their coach.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie made it clear
last week that Andy Reid isnt guaran-
teed to return next season for his 15th
year unless the Eagles win now.
Whether that means the Eagles must
win a Super Bowl is unclear. Regard-
less, the message has filtered down to
Michael Vick and the rest of his team-
mates.
We feel like there is a need to win,
and win quickly, Vick said Monday.
Coach Reid talked to us today about
staying the course, maintaining our fo-
cus, going in there week in and week
out, and controlling what we can con-
trol. We can sit and talk all day until
our faces turn blue, but until we go out
there, we still have to make it happen.
The first test for the Eagles is Sun-
day at Cleveland. Vick will be ready to
go despite taking just 12 snaps in the
preseason and missing the final two
games with injured ribs.
Vick took all the reps with the start-
ers in the first practice back after a
weekend off. The three-time Pro Bowl
quarterback is eager to make throws
that count in games that matter.
I felt great at practice, he said. My
arm felt fresh and my legs felt good. I
threw the ball really well, and I had a
chance to make some throws that I
havent madeinalongtime. It felt good
to be back and Im extremely excited.
The Eagles were a major disappoint-
ment last season, going 8-8 in a year
that began with high expectations.
They won their last four games, albeit
against lesser opponents, and hope to
carry that momentum into Week 1
against the Browns.
Its better to end the season with
wins than with losses, Pro Bowl de-
fensive end Jason Babin said.
Then again, it was nine months ago.
Its a years time, Vick said. We
went through that, and we know what
we have to fight through and how
tough it was. That was one of the rea-
sons we were able to excel late in the
season last year because our backs
were pretty much against the wall. Its
the same right now.
Not many teams enter a season with
a desperate attitude, even in a sport
where theres only 16 games and they
all mean something. But these Eagles
realize they could be running out of
time. If they dont win and save Reids
job, there could be massive changes
next year.
Reid has led the Eagles to nine play-
off appearances in13 seasons, but they
havent won a playoff game since 2008.
Vick hasnt won one since 2004 when
he played for Atlanta.
If Vick stays healthy, the offense
should produce. The defense has to do
its part, though.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Cor-
nerback Michael Coe knows Cowboys
quarterback Tony Romo will test him
when the New York Giants open de-
fense of their Super Bowl title.
Its a given. AlthoughCoe is not only
the new guy in the secondary, the six-
year veteran probably is the most un-
expected starter for Wednesdays
game.
When the Giants reported to train-
ing camp, Coe was probably the fourth
choice to start opposite Corey Web-
ster. Projected starter Terrell Thomas
aggravateda knee injury that sidelined
him last year and has been placed on
season-ending injuredreserve. Former
first-rounder Prince Amukamara suf-
fered a high ankle sprain against the
Bears and is out, and rookie Jayron
Hosley is battling turf toe.
It leaves Coe to make his first career
start at cornerback.
Im sure any time a new person
joins the group or there is an unfamil-
iar face everyone is going to be watch-
ing to see how that person does and
how everything jells, Coe said Mon-
day after the Giants held their final
practice for the season opener. I am
not oblivious to that fact at all.
Coe isnt inexperienced. He got his
biggest test last seasonwhenheplayed
in 10 games as a reserve with the Gi-
ants before hurting his shoulder
against the Eagles in November, forc-
ing him to go on injured reserve.
Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell
said Coe performed well in the orga-
nized teamactivities in the spring and
showed the coaching staff he would
compete for a job in training camp.
We have a lot of confidence inhim,
Fewell said. I think he is a much-im-
proved football player. He helped us
last year. Hehelpedus inSanFrancisco
last year and up in New England (in
the regular season) so he has playing
experience. He can play.

dinner together, as usual, Monday and
Tuesday. It definitely wont be an easy
match from a mental perspective. We
know each other well. We practice to-
gether often. We play doubles together.
We knoweverything about eachother.

French Open doubles championship in

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Cody Journell,
who missed a 38-yard field goal early in
the fourth quarter, redeemed himself
with a 41-yard field goal on the final play
of regulation to tie the game, and an
18-yard field goal in overtime to give
Virginia Tech a 20-17 win Monday night
against Georgia Tech.
His kick at the end of regulation came
just 38 seconds after Georgia Tech
capped a 13-play, 72-yard drive with a
10-yard touchdown pass from quarter-
back Tevin Washington to running back
Deon Hill. The touchdown gave Geor-
gia Tech its first lead of the game at
14-10.
Though Georgia Tech isnt known for
its aerial attack, Washington was 5 of 6
passing for 33 yards on the touchdown
drive. Washington completed a 19-yard
pass to running back B.J. Bostic on
fourth-and-6 from Virginia Techs 37-
yard line to keep the drive alive.
Washington eluded defensive end
J.R. Collins in the backfield on the play,
and completed the pass despite the fact
Bostic was covered by strong safety
Kyshoen Jarrett, free safety Detrick
Bonner and cornerback Antone Exum.
After Hills touchdown catch, Virginia
Tech (1-0) took over at its own 25. The
Hokies moved to the YellowJackets 47,
where they faced fourth-and-4 with 13
seconds left.
Quarterback Logan Thomas hit re-
ceiver Corey Fuller for a 23-yard gain to
on a slant pattern to Georgia Techs 24.
Virginia Tech used its final timeout to
set up Journells game-tying field goal.
Georgia Tech got the first possession
in overtime, but Washington was
picked off on the third play when he put
up a desperation pass toward the goal
line while being pressured by lineback-
er Bruce Taylor. Cornerback Kyle Fuller
picked off the poor pass.
Virginia Techs passing game had
trouble getting started until midway
through the fourth quarter. Thomas
lofted a pass to wide receiver Demitri
Knowles for a 42-yard touchdown with
7:46 left Monday night to put Virginia
Tech ahead 14-10.

back so that gives us an excellent shot to
compete on both the district level and the
state level. Were looking for a good,
consolidated team effort to shake things up
a little bit.
HANOVER AREA
Coach: Jeff DeRocco
Last Season: 9-8
Home Course: Hanover Area High School
Key Runners: Peige Antall, Sr.
Coach's Outlook: Numbers are low on
our varsity squad but we return two run-
ners with experience at the state cham-
pionships. They will make an impact on the
medal races toward the end of the sea-
son.
HAZLETONAREA
Coach: Jason Smolinsky
Last Season: 16-1
Home Course: Valley Elementary/Middle
School
Key Runners: Nicole Buerhle, So.; Cassie
Papp, Jr.; Briana Papp, Jr.; Angie Marchet-
ti, Jr.; Becki Marchetti, Jr.
Coach's Outlook: The girls were fourth
last year in districts and we have them all
back. Now we just have another year of
experience. They kind of know what to
expect and our lead runner last year is only
a freshman so now she has a year under-
neath her belt. Theyre looking for big
things. I dont see any reason why they
couldnt, as a team make, it to states.
HOLY REDEEMER
Coach: Ed Roman
Last Season: 17-0
Key Loss: Brianna Ligotski
Key Runners: Marissa Durako, Sr.;
Rachel Sowinski, Sr.; Cassandra Gill, Sr.;

Home Course: Lake-Lehman High School
Key Losses: Allie Jayne, Shelby Foster,
Emily Sutton, Jr.; Kaylee Hillard, Jr.
Key Runners: Sami Sabol, Sr.; Amelia
Jenkins, Sr.; Katie Heindels, Sr.
Coach's Outlook: We lost some quality,
young ladies but the three young ladies we
have are going to work really hard and
theyre going to go out and compete each
week and we just hope to be better on the
girls side week in and week out. Im very
happy with how these ladies are working
for us.
MEYERS
Coach: Erik ODay
Last Season: 2-15
Key Losses: Ingrid Ritchie, Emmalie
Langan, Sr.
Key Runners: Florence Kwok, Sr.; Laura

Coach: Jon Weaver
Last Season: 5-12
Home Course: MMI Prep
Key Losses: Brianna Simpkins, Brittany
Fisher
Key Runners: Kaitlyn Frey, Sr.; Devon

division.
NANTICOKE
Coach: Ed Pascoe
Last Season: 0-17
Home Course: Nanticoke High School
Key Runners: Kayla Gronkowski, Jr.;
Becky Morgis, So.; Jules Waclawski, Fr.

ski and Jules coming up, if we get some
numbers, I think well be okay.
NORTHWEST
Coach: Brian Barchik
Last Season: 3-14
Home Course: Northwest Area High
School
Key Losses: Rachel Walker, Alicia

Key Losses: Bianca Bolton, Ashley
Menichini
Key Runners: Catherine Lombardo, Sr.;
Kristen Lombardo, Sr.; Olivia Lanza, Sr.;

looking to improve on last years record
and have an excellent showing at districts.
TUNKHANNOCK
Coach: Randy White
Last Season: 8-9
Home Course: Wyoming County Fair-
grounds
Key Loss: Amelia Ayers
Key Runners: Maggie Toczko, Fr.; Alexa
Perbola, So.; Megan Manglaviti, Fr.;
Morgan Manglaviti, Fr.
Coach's Outlook: Were going to be very
young. I only have one senior on the whole
squad. The lack of experience could hurt
us but we should win at least as many
meets as we did last year if not more.
WYOMING AREA
Coach: Mike Stefanik
Last Season: 5-12
Home Course: Luzerne County Sports
Complex
Key Losses: Sara Radzwilka, Angela
Coco, Sarah Crake, Kim Golden, Alison
Golden
Key Runner: Amanda Ostrowski, Sr.
Coach's Outlook: Were a very young

and sophomore runners to pick up the
slack. Im expecting the girls to be fairly
competitive in the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence this year.
WYOMING SEMINARY
Coach: John Dickinson
Last Season: 7-10
Key Losses: Katie Perrine, Renatta
ODonnell, Julia Mag, Sally Mooney
Key Runners: Alannah Trombetta, Jr.;
Kate Maximov, Sr.; Madison Sweitzer, So.;
Kat Rogers, So.
Coach's Outlook: The outlook is the
same for the girls as it was for the boys
(well be competitive in the single A
division and I hope that we improve upon
our record from last season) except
Alannah Trombetta will be a pretty strong
runner. She has potential to go back to
states again.
WYOMING VALLEY WEST
Coach: Anthony Dicton
Last Season: 12-5
Home Course: None
Key Runners: Alex Plant, Sr.; Julia
Mericle, Sr.; Amy Paddock, Sr.; Elizabeth

should also improve their record with all
the veterans they have on their team.
G I R L S C R O S S C O U N T R Y C A P S U L E S
He had a fantastic summer and
has set himself up putting him-
self into a position to do some
good things this season. He is
very talented and a hard work-
er.
Hockenbury ran away with
the Wyoming Valley Conference
Coaches League Meet a.k.a.
the Ed Narkiewicz Coaches As-
sociation Meet in October, an
event which is held each year
the week before districts.
He won the Junior Olympics
Middle Atlantic Conference top
honors in the 2.48 miler in Phila-
delphia in November. Later in
November, he finished fifth in
regional competition in Deer-
field, N.J. And he finished 43rd
at nationals in Myrtle Beach,
S.C. in December.
In March, Hockenbury com-
peted in the Wyoming Valley
Striders Winters End (4.5 mile)
Run at Penn State Wilkes-Barre.
He ran in front over the first half
of the race before he was over-
taken by Bornfase Nyandusi
Omurwa, the native Kenyan
who now lives in Kingston (the
eventual winner of the race) and
former Lock Haven standout,
Jeff Skwierz, of Forty Fort (who
finished second). Hockenbury
finished third.
Omurwa had some good
things to say about Hockenbury
after that race.
I thought (Hockenbury)
went out too fast early in the
race and he would eventually
come back to me, Omurwa
said. But he continued to run at
a good steady pace. He has a
great stride. Once I realized he
wasnt coming back to me, I
knew I had to pick up my pace a
bit.
Omurwa caught and passed
Hockenbury at the turnaround.
Skwierz caught and passed
Hockenbury going up the final
hill.
Hockenbury is young and
probably has some things to
learn about race strategy. But re-
member, he was running against
two very talented, seasoned vet-
eran runners in that race.
In addition to running cross
country, Hockenbury runs the 1
miler, the 2 miler and the 4x8 re-
lay (3,200 meter relay) in track.
The 2 miler is his best event.
There are lots of talented ath-
letes who never reach their full
potential because they just dont
put in the hard work. Thats not
the case with Hockenbury.
Hockenbury and his training
partner, teammate Kieran Sut-
ton, a senior and Lehmans top
runner, trainabout 60-plus miles
a week.
We run twice a day, said
Hockenbury. One day we do
long runs. And the next day we
do shorter distance speed work
runs.
On Saturday in the Cliff Rob-
bins Invitational Boys Varsity
5K Run Sutton finished sixth
and Hockenbury finished
eighth, running against runners
from 29 schools, including a
number of schools from outside
the Wyoming Valley Conference
and a handful of teams fromout-
side District 2.
Hockenbury likes running
with Sutton.
(Sutton) is a really good run-
ner, said Hockenbury. He
makes for a good training part-
ner.
Sutton expects great things
from Hockenbury in the future.
Hes going to be a top conten-
der at states by the time hes a
senior, said Sutton. He may
even be tough when hes a junior
maybe even when hes a sopho-
more. Hes really driven.
Lake-Lehman will kick off its
cross country season by hosting
a tri-meet with Tunkhannock
and Meyers Wednesday at 4:15

or the away team. We get our
uniforms mixed up.
For the most part its been a
grind.
The grind will continue
Wednesday when the Yankees
play Games1and2 of the Gover-
nors Cup playoffs at McCoy Sta-
dium before returning home
to Rochesters Frontier Field for
the remainder of the best-of-five
semifinal series.
Thats another thing to add
onto the year, Joseph said. Its
been tough. But for the most
part weve gotten together and
worked through it as a team.
Ironically, the Yankees have
derivedone benefit fromplaying
144 games away from home.
Weve spent every second of
thedayfor sixmonths together,
Joseph said. You get close to
these guys. You understand
their strengths. You play togeth-
er with each others strengths.
One of the Yankees strengths
has been their pitching. But
when New York raided their
staff, it forced manager Dave
Miley to shuffle his rotation for
the playoffs.
As a result, Matt OConnor
who was scheduled to start
Game 4 was bumped up to
Game3andwas onashort pitch-
ing leash (i.e. three innings)
Monday.
That was one reason why
Miley had to reach deep into his
bullpen to finish the game.
Imsureit went thesameway
today for (PawSoxmanager) Ar-
nie (Beyeler), Miley said.
Thats why you had two posi-
tion players pitching.
The Yankees led 2-1 entering
the eighth, thanks to Darnell
McDonalds solo homer in the
fourthandMelkyMesas scoring
on a passed ball in the fifth.
Bakers two-run, pinch-hit
double in the eighth appeared to
give the Yankees a comfortable
4-1 lead.
He hasnt played most of the
year, Miley said. Hes pitched
twice for us. I wanted himto get
an at-bat because he hadnt one
all year so thats why I used
him.
Pawtucket tied it with a three-
run outburst in ninth.
Singles by Ryan Dent, Jeremy
Hazelbaker and Hee off Francis-
co Rondon produced one run, a
wild pitch scored another and
Danny Valencias single off Pres-
ton Claiborne tied it.
Eventually Miley resorted to
Baker and Linares blasted a shot
over the elevated billboards in
left field.

LONDON Oscar Pistorius
apologized Monday for the tim-
ing of his complaints about a ri-
vals blades following his defeat
in the Paralympic 200-meter fi-
nal, but insisted that officials
need to change the rules to pre-
vent some runners from getting
an unfair advantage.
The so-called Blade Runner
was surging to a third straight
200-meter gold Sunday night
when he was overtaken close to
the finishby AlanOliveira, whois
also a double amputee.
Pistorius thencriticizedOlivei-
ra within minutes of the upset,
claiming the Brazilian used long-
er carbon fiber prosthesis than
should be allowed.
Paralympic officials insisted
Monday that Oliveira did not
break the rules and that the
blades had been approved, and
Pistorius said he should have
waited before launching his out-
burst.
I would never want to detract
fromanother athletes moment of
triumph and I want to apologize
for the timing of my comments,
the South African said in a state-
ment.
But the International Paralym-
pic Committee has already
agreed to meet with Pistorius to
discuss his grievances over the
formula used to calculate the ac-
ceptable length of blades.
I do believe that there is an is-
sue here and I welcome the op-
portunitytodiscuss withtheIPC,
but I accept that raising these
concerns immediately as I
stepped off the track was wrong,
Pistorius said. That was Alans
moment and I would like to put
on record the respect I have for
him.
I ama proud Paralympian and
believe in the fairness of sport. I
am happy to work with the IPC,
who obviously share these aims.
Pistorius himself spent years
fighting to convince the sports
authorities that his blades didnt
give him an unfair advantage
against able-bodied athletes, and
that he shouldbe allowedtocom-
pete in the Olympics.
He finally won his case in 2008
at the Court of Arbitration for
Sport and made his Olympic de-
but a month ago, reaching the
400 semifinals and the 4x400 re-
lay final.

S P O R T S
Monica Wignot had a break-
out season with the University
of Pittsburgh womens volley-
ball team last season as a soph-
omore, but even bigger things
are expected from the 6-foot-2
outside hitter this season.
Wignot (Holy Redeemer)
was recently named to the
All-Big East Conference presea-
son first team after she finished
second in kills (368) and ser-
vice aces (42), and collected
208 digs, 32 blocks and 23
assists.
Monica is the most compet-
itive person on the team, which
I absolutely love, coach Toby
Rens said. I consider her a
quiet warrior. She is not the
most vocal person, but she
leads with her intensity.
Wignot has become a very
consistent performer.
I thought she made great
strides in the spring of her
freshman year and that helped
her out as a sophomore, Rens
said.
The coach knows that Wig-
not will be a marked player this
season.
With the numbers she put
up last season, people will be
looking for her this year, he
said. She has always had a
good serve but I think shes
really improved her passing and
defense, and thats helped her
all-around game.
Wignot kicked off this season
with a match-high 16 kills, 10
digs and three blocks in a 3-0
victory over George Washing-
ton.
SCHMID SETTLES IN
Joseph Schmid (Wyoming
Valley West) was named to the
Big East All-Rookie team after a
solid freshman season with the
Villanova mens soccer team.
He transferred to Monmouth
last year and had a solid sopho-
more season.
This season, coach Bob
McCourt feels that Schmid will
be the big reason for any suc-
cess his team has.
Joseph is a very talented
player, McCourt said. His
biggest area of improvement is
his leadership. This year, this is
his team, and he has become
very vocal and sets the tone for
the team in both practice and
games.
The Hawks are off to a 3-0-1
start and Schmid had the game-
winning goal in a 3-1 victory
over Providence. He had three
goals and five assists last sea-
son.
Joseph controls the flow and
tempo of our matches,
McCourt said. All of our pos-
sessions go through him.
The coach believes that
Schmid will have a breakout
season.
He can easily be a midfield
player that gets 10 goals and 10
assists, McCourt said. Howev-
er, I know hes a team player
and team success will always be
more important than individual
statistics for him.
ZIMNISKI LEADS THE WAY
Senior Lauren Zimniski (Dal-
las) is a tri-captain with the
Quinnipiac field hockey team
and coach Becca Main believes
shes a great person to lead the
team.
It would be fairly obvious to
any fan that Lauren has taken
on an incredibly vital role on
both sides of the ball for us this
year, Main said. As a fifth-year
senior, all rests on her shoul-
ders and she has, to date, risen
to the occasion every time shes
been asked.
Zimniski, who is working on
her masters, shows the right
mental toughness to meet the
teams demands, according to
Main.
She continues to be our
most dynamic ballhandler, and
as long as we keep her healthy
and rested, she will be our main
catalyst for a postseason ap-
pearance, the coach said.
The Bobcats are currently 2-2
on the season and Zimniski
picked up an assist in a 3-1
triumph over Towson.
SUCHOSKIS STARTING
Sophomore Brian Suchoski
(Coughlin) is starting at for-
ward for the Lehigh mens soc-
cer team. But thats nothing
new. He started 17 of the 18
games he played last season as
a freshman.
I think Brian has done a
really good job of interpreting
our three-forward system,
coach Dean Koski said. We
have given him some flexibility
in where he makes his runs. I
think the system has really
opened up his runs, his game
and his thinking of where to
be.
The Mountain Hawks are off
to a 0-2 start this season. Su-
choski, who had two goals and
an assist last season, has yet to
score.
Im looking for goal produc-
tion and points from Brian,
Koski said. I have no doubt
that he is capable of scoring six
to eight goals this year, and if
we can get that same produc-
tion from the rest of our for-
wards that would be huge. The
more Brian puts himself in the
right place at the right time,
the more productive he will
be.
BIG START FOR GABY
Redshirt sophomore Gaby
Olshemski (Lake-Lehman)
kicked off the season by scoring
two goals to help her Indiana
field hockey team defeat Kent
State 5-3. She picked up an
assist in a 5-1 triumph over
Missouri State last weekend.
Gaby had her best preseason
ever and has been at her health-
iest since a hip injury that ham-
pered her in her freshman sea-
son, coach Amy Robinson said.
In the attacking circle, Gaby is
one of our most efficient goal
scorers. She moves off the ball
really well and is always ready
to find a shot.
The coach feels that Olshem-
ski has made a lot of progress
in her understanding of the
game and in her skill devel-
opment.
We expect Gaby to continue
to improve and make a big
impact on our teams ability to
score more goals this season,
Robinson said.
The Hoosiers are 3-0 in the
early going.
CONNORS BOUNCES
BACK Junior back Tara Con-
nors (Dallas) is ready to make
an impact on the William &
Mary womens soccer team.
Hopefully, it will be much like
last season when she was
named Most Outstanding Play-
er in the Colonial Athletic Asso-
ciation Tournament.
Connors has played in the
last two games and started one
for the Tribe, who are 3-2 after
a 1-0 double overtime loss to
Tennessee and a 4-1 setback to
Duke.
Tara got hurt early in presea-
son and is just coming back to
her best, coach John Daly said.
Connors played in 12 games
with seven starts as a freshman,
but started all 23 games for the
Tribe last season, the team
posting a 17-3-3 record.
Tara battled hard to win a
starting position last year,
Daly said. She is a tough,
uncompromising defender who
is fearless in the tackle.
JECKELL SHOWING PROM-
ISE Sophomore Kayla Jeckell
(Crestwood) is seeing plenty of
action with the St. Francis
womens volleyball team, which
is currently 3-3 on the season.
The 5-foot-11 middle hitter has
28 kills and 11 digs to date. She
had a career-high 10 kills in a
3-1 loss to Central Connecticut.
Kayla has already showed
moments of brilliance in the
early season, coach Chuck
Mullen said. She is one of our
more physical attackers and
were working with her to de-
velop into a great player in our
program.
The coach believes that Jeck-
ells upside is endless.
When things are clicking
with her and she does what she
needs to do to be successful at
the college level, it will in-
stantly make us a better team,
Mullen said.
OSTRANDER A KEY Ju-
nior setter Lisa Ostrander (Pitt-
ston Area) will be a key per-
former for the Keystone wom-
ens volleyball team this fall.
The 5-foot-6 Ostrander had
242 assists and 49 digs for the
3-17 Giants last season. The
team is off to an 0-3 start this
season.
Lisa has improved vastly
from last year, coach Nicole
Wentz said. She is outhustling
everyone else in her position
and has improved her tech-
nique tremendously. With a
killer serve, there is no doubt
that she will be a key contrib-
utor to our team this season.
Wentz feels that the Giants
are going to surprise a few
teams in the league (Colonial
States Athletic Conference).
Lisa and the others are
working hard and are being
pushed harder than they have
ever been pushed before, the
coach said.

NORTON, Mass. In a Labor
Dayfinishfilledwithsomeof golfs
biggest names, Rory McIlroy sent
his stock soaring in the Deutsche
Bank Championship.
McIlroy overcame a three-shot
deficit Monday in five holes, and
then overcame a few mistakes on
the final two holes to close with a
4-under 67 and escape with a one-
shot victory over Louis Oosthui-
zen.
McIlroy joined Tiger Woods as
theonlythree-timewinnersonthe
PGA Tour this year, and with one
of his wins being the PGA Cham-
pionship, that might beenoughfor
his peers to vote himplayer of the
year. He also finally built a com-
fortable gap at No. 1in the world.
Oosthuizen had a 12-foot birdie
putt on the 18th hole to force a
playoff, only it slid by on the right
side for a 71.
Woods made
an early charge
to get back in
the hunt,
thoughhenever
got closer than
threeshots until
a two-putt bird-
ie on the par-5
18th gave hima 66. He finished in
third place, two shots behind, and
earned enough money to become
thefirst player tosurpass$100mil-
lion in PGATour earnings.
Phil Mickelsonalsohada66and
tied for fourth, along with Dustin
Johnson, who had a 70 and likely
playedhiswayontotheRyder Cup
team. Brandt Snedeker made a
strong case for a captains pick
with a 65-67 weekend to finish
sixth.
Davis LoveIII will announcehis

Contador tried repeatedly to
break away from his fellow Spa-
niard during the grueling final
stretch after four special category
climbs. Rodriguez pulled ahead as
the riders neared the finish at the

With dew point
temperatures
today hovering
near 70, the air
will feel thick
and heavy, more
like a tropical air
mass. This very
humid air will
remain in place
through tonight
as the remains
of Hurricane
Isaac head our
way. After more
showers and
drizzle, a heavier
rainfall could
bring totals up
to one inch or
more. However, I
feel that there is
a very low
potential for
flooding. Rainfall
locally is running
3 to 6 inches
below normal
this year. The
ground can now
absorb a good
soaking. It will be
one of our
warmest nights
of the summer.
Rain ends
Wednesday
morning with
clearing and
very warm tem-
peratures.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Thunderstorms with potentially heavy rain will continue from New England to
the Southeast today as low pressure moves through the eastern Great Lakes. A cold front will lead to
possibly severe thunderstorms in parts of the Upper Midwest. Scattered thunderstorms will also
develop in the Desert Southwest as monsoonal moisture moves west.

HEALTH S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
timesleader.com
We recently had a visit from our
niece, her husband, and 12-year-
old boy. We were surprised to
find out that the father and son
both eat no meat. We believe
the boy should be eating from
all the basic food groups and
meat is one of them. Are we
right, or should we just let na-
ture take its course? The boys
mother is a life-long diabetic.
Does this matter?
Are you right that the boy should
be eating from all the basic food
groups? Absolutely. Meat, how-
ever, is not one of them. The
five basic food groups from
which to build a healthful diet
are protein, grains, fruits, vege-
tables, and dairy. Meat such as
beef, pork, and lamb is in the
protein group. So are fish,
poultry, eggs, dry beans, nuts
and seeds. All of these foods
provide protein and other es-
sential nutrients to someone
who chooses not to eat meat.
A12-year-old boy may choose to
eat a soy burger instead of
cheeseburger burger, for exam-
ple. Or peanut butter on his
sandwich instead of ham. He
can also get high quality protein
from milk, cheese, yogurt and
eggs as well as poultry and fish.
Nutrition experts remind all of us
to eat at least two servings of
protein-rich foods every day.
Besides protein which is nec-
essary for building muscle,
bone, blood and a strong im-
mune system - the protein
group furnishes vitamins and
minerals that are essential for
optimal health. Beef, for exam-
ple, is an excellent source of
B-vitamins (including vitamin
B-12 which is found primarily in
foods of animal origin), zinc,
iron and selenium. People who
choose not to eat meat can get
these nutrients from other
foods or supplements.
Does it matter if your niece the
boys mother is a life-long
diabetic? Perhaps. A person
with diabetes has the same
nutrient needs as a person
without diabetes. Just like her
son, she may choose to eat
meat for protein. Or she may
choose alternate sources of
protein.

O N N U T R I T I O N Wheres the meat?
Q: Whats a good
strategy for improving
my memory? I dont
think Ive got Alz-
heimers, but my
memory at 74 years of
age isnt quite what it
used to be.
P.N., Wilkes Barre, Pa.
A: Millions of older folks are finding
that while theyre not getting senile, its
taking longer to find the precise piece
of information within their vast library
of accumulated knowledge. Learning
new information also seems to be a
challenge for many older folks. Cross-
word puzzles, Sudoku and other word
games are one way folks try to keep
their brain active. Use it, or lose it is
certainly a common memory-preserv-
ing strategy.
A new study set to be published in
the journal Psychological Science sug-
gests that all folks really need to do to
improve their memory and learn new
things is to sit and close their eyes for
10 minutes each day. Dr. Michaela
Dewar of the University of Edinburgh
in Scotland found that normal-aged
folks between the ages of 61 and 87
who rested their eyes for 10 minutes in
a darkened room in a period of wake-
ful resting were able to recall far more
details of a story presented to them
earlier and could cement those memo-
ries far better than folks who did not
take a 10-minute rest break. Their
findings suggest that the process of
creating a new memory does not take
place over a few seconds, and requires
a peaceful, non-distracting environ-
ment for optimal memory formation.
Dr. Dewar says that the activities we
are engaged in for the first few minutes
after learning new information affect
how well we remember this informa-
tion in the days, weeks or months after-
wards.
Q: For as long as I can remember,
one side of my nose is congested, al-
ternating with the other side. I do not
have a deviated septum, and this oc-
curs anytime of the year. Do you have
any idea why this happens to me?
P.G. Orlando, Fla.
A: What youre experiencing is ac-
tually very normal. Its called the nasal
cycle, and its something that every-
one should experience. Its usually
most noticeable at night when folks
roll from one side to the other to
breathe. If one lies on their side at
night, the top nostril is usually the one
thats more open.
The nasal cycle, involves engorge-
ment of the blood vessels that supply
the nasal tissue (swelling and conges-
tion) of one side of the nose; followed
by shrinking of those blood vessels
(decongestion) as the opposite side
becomes engorged with blood. If both
sides were to fill with blood at the
same time, the nasal tissue would swell
up such that a person could never
breathe through their nose.
This normal nasal cycle varies in
length, but typically lasts from one to
four hours.

HICAGO - Peering intently at
the tiny white smudge in their
babys brainscan, Sue andBen
Erickson could see that the image
did not reveal the miracle they had
prayed for.
The cancer still lurked, though it
had shrunken significantly after five
rounds of chemotherapy. The news
was as good as they could expect, re-
alistically, and the doctor was up-
beat.
It looks good. It looks good. Im
happy, said Dr. Rishi Lulla, a pediat-
ric oncologist, as he reviewedthe im-
ages at Lurie Childrens Hospital in
Chicago. Its substantially, substan-
tially better.
The results from last weeks MRI
marked a pivotal time for Matthew
Erickson, who, at 8 months old, has
charmed every nurse with his single-
toothed grin. He was born Dec. 11
with an especially aggressive formof
brain cancer, a high-grade glioma
that developed while he was still in
his mothers womb, even though its
most often diagnosed in adults.
The cancer, whose causes are un-
known, had engulfed most of the
right hemisphere of Matthews
brain. Only about five children na-
tionally are born each year with such
a rare, usually fatal, condition, his
doctors said when the Tribune first
chronicled the familys story in Feb-
ruary.
At the time, doctors gave the Hun-
tley couple a difficult choice: bring
Matthewhome with a hospice team,
love him and keep him comfortable
until the inevitable. Or, they could
treat the cancer aggressively with
chemotherapy, a toxic cocktail with
no certain outcome.
While used successfully with
some other babies, chemotherapy

could cause additional long-term
damage or even hasten Mat-
thews demise, the doctors
warned.
Matthew seemed determined
to make the decision for the cou-
ple. He was a bornfighter, his par-
ents said, and he rarely cried,
makingthetreacherous journeya
bit less emotionally taxing on his
parents.
Even when he throws up, he
smiles, his mom said.
You look at him, you look at
his eyes, he has life, Sue Erick-
son said.
Matthewhas spent at least two
to three weeks each month in the
hospital, dealing not only with
the chemotherapys side effects,
but complications from diabetes
insipidus, a kidney condition
marked by excessive urination
that can lead to dehydration. He
also suffers brain seizures, which
are likely caused by the tumor
and surgeries, Lulla said.
Meanwhile, time marched on.
The couples son, Nolan, 5, just
started kindergarten. Their
daughter, Sophia, recently cele-
bratedher secondbirthdaywitha
princess party.
Matthews saga splashes over
into daily routines. Sophia one
day picked up a calculator, held it
to her ear like a cellphone, and
said, Dr. Lulla? Dr. Lulla?
Sues parents, Louise (Nun-
ny to her grandchildren) and
Bob Turner, help juggle child
care and doctor appointments.
School also started last week
for Ben, a teacher at South Elgin
High School.
Hundreds of students sur-
prised him last spring with a do-
nation for Matthew, whose every
visit to the hospital generates a
lengthy bill. The most recent in-
voice was 69 pages long.
Thank God for insurance,
saidBen, whowas not surewhere
the total stands.
After the MRI, Matthew awak-
ened from sedation smiling, as
usual.
Sue, Ben and Louise huddled
around a computer with Lulla, a
physician in the hospitals Divi-
sion of Hematology, Oncology
and Stem Cell Transplant.
He pointed to the screen show-
ing four images of Matthews
brain fromMRIs taken in Decem-
ber, February, May and July.
The change was obvious, even
to a layman.
Instead of gray brain matter,
the scan taken eight months ago
revealed a gaping dark cavern in
the brains right hemisphere,
where excess fluid had collected
in the oversized ventricles, or
cavities that allow the flow of ce-
rebral spinal fluid. The tumor
was hunkered down in the mid-
dle, a small bright white spot.
By May, the tumor was very
subtle, Lulla said, pointing to a
smidgen of white against gray.
Brain surgeries to remove por-
tions of the tumor and fluid had
been successful, as well.
What if we had decided to do
nothing? What do you think
would have happened? Ben Er-
ickson asked, as the couple sat
quietly, absorbing the informa-
tion.
I dont know the answer. I
think he would have died, not
fromthe tumor but the (pressure
of fluid-filled) ventricles, Lulla
said. Our goal is to stop the tu-
mor from growing and get Mat-
thew to grow around the tumor.
Sue Erickson asked the next
big question: Is there ever going
to be a point where there is no
cancer?
Probably not, Lulla said. Even
a few abnormal cells left behind
may lead to the cancers return,
he explained.
On Aug. 21, Lulla and Dr. Tord
Alden, a neurosurgeon, laid out
Matthews case to the group of
about 20 people. As they viewed
brain images projected on a large
screen, specialists questioned
whether they were looking at
scar tissue or tumor, and how
fast, if at all, the cancerous cells
would spread.
At 9 p.m. that night, Lulla
called the couple and discussed
options.
Some doctors felt that the che-
motherapy should continue. Lul-
la and Alden recommended giv-
ing Matthew a two-month break,
during which time they could al-
so treat his brain seizures with
steroids.
BenandI, wealmost knewthe
ball would be put into our court
and we would have to make that
decision, Sue Erickson said the
following morning.
The couple decided to follow
the advice of the doctors who
know Matthew best, Lulla and
Alden. The steroid treatment
should be far easier for his body
to tolerate than the chemo, said
Lulla, the recent recipient of a
nearly $100,000 research grant
from the St. Baldricks Founda-
tion, a charity that raises money
to combat childhood cancers.
Nothing is guaranteed, Sue
said, recalling that there were
those who doubted the couples
decision to proceed with chemo-
therapy in February. There was
a risk then. There is a risk now.

tion of 37,103 Swedish men,
whose age ranged from 45 to 79
at the start of an average follow-
up period of about 10 years. The
study fills out a picture of choco-
late consumption, especially of
dark chocolate, that has firmly
demonstrated cardiovascular
benefits for women. For men,
however, research on choco-
lates health benefits had been
less consistent in its findings.
The Neurology study, re-
leased Wednesday, also cites the
results of a meta-analysis (a
study that pieces together the
findings of similar but inde-
pendent studies) of chocolate
consumption and stroke risk in
both men and women. That
study found that for men and
women combined, those who
ate the most chocolate drove
down their stroke risk by about
19 percent.
The precise mechanism by
which chocolate works such
charms is not known. Darkchoc-
olate, especially, is a rich source
of flavenoids, the kind of plant-
based polyphenols one finds in
fruits, vegetables, legumes and
wine. These appear to tamp
down inflammation throughout
the body. But they also reduce
the aggregation of platelets, the
building blocks of blood clots
that, in most strokes and heart
attacks, reduce or cut off blood
flow to the brain or heart. Regu-
lar chocolate consumption has
been shown to lower blood pres-
sure and improve the health and
efficiency of blood vessels. And
it appears to improve the choles-
terol profiles of those who eat it
regularly.
A food with such powers (it is
also considered an aphrodisiac)
should be eaten by everyone,
right?
Well, not exactly. In addition
to being a rich source of flave-
noids, chocolate is a rich source
of fat and calories. And, to bela-
bor the obvious, taking in too
much will cause weight gain,
which, in turn, can raise stroke
and heart attack risk. Experts
suggest that, as with wine an-
other highly palatable and po-
tent source of flavenoids re-
search like this should offer re-
assurance to those who already
eat chocolate regularly and
arent overweight or obese. But
for those looking to reduce
stroke risk, eating more fruits,
vegetables and legumes is a low-
er-calorie way to get the same
benefits.

sumption and stroke risk in both men

the most chocolate drove down their
stroke risk by about 19 percent.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
29-year-old gay man.
In my community,
coming out at work
isnt an option. I
really like my job
and want to keep it.
However, a female
colleague is not only trying to per-
suade me that the two of us would
make a good pair, but she has gotten
all of our co-workers involved. Im
constantly pressured by my supervi-
sor to just go out with her and give
her a chance.
I have already told everyone, in-
cluding her, that Im not interested
in mixing my personal life with my
professional one. However, because
of my unwillingness to do what they
recommend, the pressure from ev-
eryone has gotten worse. I dread com-
ing to the office.
Would it be unethical to hire a
girlfriend to stop by the office next
week to bring me my lunch? Maybe
if I kiss her goodbye, my co-workers
will finally back off. If not this, can
you recommend something else?
Cant Come Out in Texas
Dear Cant Come Out: You have
described a classic example of sexual
harassment and a hostile work envi-
ronment. Your co-workers and super-
visor may consider themselves to be
Cupids helpers, but their actions
could be the basis for a lawsuit. That
you are gay has nothing to do with
it. If you were straight and preferred
not to involve yourself in an office
romance that could turn out badly, or
felt no chemistry with your aggressor,
what is being done to you is intoler-
able. Its embarrassing and distracts
you from your job.
Document everything. Go to your
supervisors boss if necessary and
state plainly that you need help to put
a stop to this. You do not have to ex-
plain why youre not attracted to this
desperate woman. If it isnt stopped,
talk with an attorney.
I do NOT recommend hiring any-
one to pose as a girlfriend, or you
may have to put her under long-term
contract, which could be expensive in
more ways than one.
Dear Abby: I have a problem I dont
know how to deal with and Im hop-
ing you can come up with a solution.
Im undergoing chemotherapy for
colon cancer. Im happy to say that
Im doing well. I have a chemo ses-
sion every two weeks, and afterward
there is a bag I wear for two more
days that pumps additional medicine
into me. I do what I can to keep the
bag out of sight, but it isnt easy.
Sometimes the tubing works itself
loose and hangs down a bit.
My problem is people seem to feel
free to ask me what its for, and its re-
ally embarrassing. I dont know these
people, and for heavens sake, why
would they feel they have the right to
ask such a personal question?
Going through chemo is hard
enough physically and psychologi-
cally. I dont need some ignorant clod
asking me about something so per-
sonal. Some wont take no for an an-
swer. Do you have any ideas on how
to deal with this? Every time it hap-
pens I feel depressed and upset.
Trying to Cope
Dear Trying To Cope: Say, Im be-
ing treated for a medical condition.
And if the person then asks what it is,
say, Its personal. And if it was any of
your business, youd already know the
answer to that question.
DEAR ABBY

Gay man pressured to date colleague wants co-workers to back off
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
be a bit of a tease, realizing the
great fun that can come from
a playful approach to life. The
equally lighthearted will find you
irresistible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
differences between people are
sometimes extreme. But you rec-
ognize that no value system is
universally right. Your open mind
will take you where others arent
invited.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are
unlikely to give your trust or
your money to an unproven
entity. What people say is of little
significance unless it is backed
up by what they do.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
have better things to think about
than how you are being per-
ceived by others. And yet there
is something you want that will
be easier to obtain by giving
some thought to your image.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are
clear in your purpose, but you
do not yet have the mechanism
in place to be loud about it, too.
You need some version of a
microphone. Today this will come
in the form of ad space or excel-
lent word of mouth from friends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youre
in the mood for change again.
So instead of wishing you were a
person who ate vegan or played
tennis, you will make moves to
actually be that person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
will want to know how you got
so smart. Give up some of your
sources but not all of them.
Everyone has to do his or her
own work in order to bring
something new to the table.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Widen
your circle. New blood will
invigorate your social and pro-
fessional scenes. It may be very
difficult for you to approach
someone, but once that hurdle
is overcome, the rest happens
rather naturally.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
People will seek your approval.
At first that may feel good to
you. Its nice to know you are
respected. But after a while, you
may see the dynamic as drain-
ing. Youll be attracted to those
who are emotionally self-reliant.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). One
way to avoid the heartbreak
hotel is to seek only the com-
pany of those who are capable
of recognizing your worth and
reciprocating your feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
exude warmth and humor. These
qualities alone are not enough to
secure your position with a cer-
tain someone. But if youre also
sincere, engaging and comfort-
able to be around, then youve
got it made in the shade.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
are accomplishments you would
like to achieve because you
believe they will make you hap-
pier. They may not, but that
doesnt diminish the importance
of going for it. Do it just to prove
to yourself that you can.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4).
All youve overcome in your life
has brought you to the stron-
ger, more powerful identity you
project this year. Someone will
endorse you with enthusiasm
this month, helping you to move
up professionally. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 40, 2, 41 and 1.
