Wilkes-Barre architectural firm to receive legacy award

By Denise Allabaugh Staff Writer Since Peter Bohlin founded an architectural firm in Wilkes-Barre 50 years ago, it has become world-renowned for iconic and high-profile designs from Public Square to billionaire Bill Gates’ home in Seattle to more than 50 Apple stores.

Bohlin and his firm, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, will receive the Pride of Place Legacy Award from the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce at a breakfast Thursday, Sept. 17, at 7:30 a.m. at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre.

“Peter’s inspiring and healthy workplace designs make the legacy award to his firm very appropriate,” Wico van Genderen, chamber president and CEO, wrote in a letter to chamber members.

Bohlin and the late Richard Powell founded the architectural firm, formerly called Bohlin and Powell Architects, in a single office on North Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre in 1965.

The firm, now called Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, is located on the 12th floor of the former Citizens Bank building in downtown Wilkes-Barre and has offices in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Francisco.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has received more than 600 regional, national and international awards for design.

In 2010, Bohlin was awarded the Gold Medal by the American Institute of Architects, the highest honor an individual American architect can receive.

Chamber officials also will present five other Pride of Place awards at the breakfast.

Bonner Chevrolet in Kingston will win the award for new construction for a recently completed $5.5 million expansion and renovation. The 83-year-old family dealership at 694 Wyoming Ave. in Kingston has grown from 24,000 square feet to 48,000 square feet. Every

news in brief Three men charged in brutal W-B beating

Wilkes-Barre police said three men beat another man so badly in an attack that he was hospitalized for nearly a week.

Officers went to Beaumont and North Washington streets around 6:40 p.m. on Aug. 13 for a report of an assault.

The suspects fled before officers arrived to find a man lying on the ground. The victim, identified as Gerry Vorn, went to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township to receive treatment for broken ribs, a broken clavicle, lacerations on his head and numerous bruises, according to an affidavit.

Vorn was placing an order inside Las Delicias deli when several people pulled him outside and began attacking him, police reported. Witnesses said the men beat Vorn and stomped on his head even after he lay motionless on the sidewalk before leaving in a gold 2006 Mercury sedan with two women, according to the affidavit.

An informant provided a lead in the case. Antonio Cruz, Jahleel Owens and Khalil Owens had beaten the man, she said. Police checked the names she provided in a database and found they knew each other and had a history of being involved in legal incidents together. Vorn picked the three out of a photo array.

According to the affidavit, Vorn said he was beaten because of a misunderstanding over a Muslim greeting that occurred at a park just before the unprovoked attack.

Police charged Cruz, 24, Jahleel Owens, 23, and Khalil Owens with aggravated assault, which is a first-degree felony, as well as simple assault and reckless endangerment.

Luzerne County Correctional Facility did not have a record of the men having been booked as of 9 p.m. Friday.

GOP plans budget veto override votes despite questions of constitutionality

vetoed the entire budget soon after it was passed in late June with only Republican support.

Talks to resolve the impasse have moved slowly, with the most recent development this week being Republicans offering more money for public schools in return for ending the traditional benefit in Pennsylvania’s two big public employee pension systems. Wolf has said he plans to respond.

Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan said the line-item override vote plan shows Republicans are not serious about making a budget deal.

“It’s not constitutional, it’s a waste of time, and it’s really a disservice to the people of Pennsylvania,” Sheridan said. “It’s time for them to get real and come to the table and have an actual negotiation.”

Man allegedly starts fire at his condemned home

Plymouth police charged John Wolfe Jr. with criminal trespassing for being at his condemned home after dark, a violation of the borough’s ordinance. Police arrived at the residence after a cigarette started a fire on a bed.

Just before 9 p.m., officers told Wolfe to leave the property at 159 Willow St. because it was condemned.

Officer were back at the property hours later on a call of smoke coming from the home.

Assistant Fire Chief Rob Meyers said a borough ordinance prohibits anyone from being at a condemned property after dark.

Meyers said a cigarette had caught the bed on fire, which caused minimal damaged. No one was injured, he said.

Police charged Wolfe, 45, with criminal trespass and defiant criminal trespass.

on the state constitution agreed.

“You cannot use the override provision on portions of a bill unless the governor has line-item vetoed,” said Duquesne University professor Bruce Ledewitz. “You can only use the override on part of the bill if the governor has vetoed a part of the bill.”

House Republican spokesman Steve Miskin said the Legislature has “the same authority as the governor” — giving them line-item override capacity even if Wolf didn’t use the line-item veto.

“I can’t imagine (Democrats) voting no. I can’t imagine them withholding money from these agencies,” Miskin said. “So no, it is not theater.”

Pennsylvania is nearly two months into its new fiscal year without a legal spending plan in place, after Wolf

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania House Republicans said Friday they will force votes next week to override the Democratic governor’s budget bill veto, one piece at a time, despite questions about the constitutionality of what they plan to do.

House Majority Leader Dave Reed told members of his caucus that he will call up elements of the vetoed budget bill that would authorize funding at a similar level to what Gov. Tom Wolf supports.

“An override vote on these lines would be the quickest and most efficient way to get agreed-to, needed funds to these schools and agencies without additional costs,” wrote Reed, R-Indiana.

Republicans will hold a

119-to-84 majority after five newly elected members are sworn in, which means they would need at least 17 Democrats for the two-thirds majority required to send an override to the Senate.

House Minority Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, predicted few, if any, of his members will cross lines, even if “no” votes could be used to argue the Democrats were against funding for educational and human services programs they actually support.

“This is a political move, is all it is,” Dermody said.

“They think they can make some political hay by making us vote against some of these folks.”

Der mody and a Wolf spokesman called the lineitem veto override unconstitutional, and a law professor who teaches a course

A Wilkes-Barre man was “dope sick” and looking for metal pipes to sell when he allegedly broke into a Hanover Township home, police said.

Police charged James Hynes, 33, on Thursday with burglary, criminal trespass, theft and criminal mischief.

According to an affidavit, Hynes broke into a home in the 100 block of Boland Avenue. The home’s owner reported four feet of copper pipe and several tools were missing. A neighbor’s surveillance camera recorded someone entering the home’s basement shortly before 7 a.m.

On Thursday, a neighbor called police to the area after spotting the man from the surveillance video in the neighborhood. Police said they questioned Hynes, who told officers that he stole metal from the home and sold it at a local scrap yard for $25 he planned to use to buy suboxone, according to an affidavit.

Hynes was jailed in Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $15,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 15.

Lawsuit targets Blue Cross surplus

Suit contends $90M should be used to benefit policyholders, not given to charity

By James Halpin Staff Writer

WILKES-BARRE — The former Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania has engaged in “blatantly unlawful conduct” by giving away $90 million in surplus money that should have been used to benefit policyholders, a classaction lawsuit filed this week alleges.

The breach of contract lawsuit, brought by Plains Township on behalf of all current Blue Cross of Northeastern n n s y l va n i a cover Pe policyholders story who were subscribers between 2012 and 2014, targets both Blue Cross and the Wilkes-Barre-based AllOne Foundation and AllOne Charities, which received $90 million in charitable contributions shortly before Highmark Inc. closed its merger with Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania on June 1.

A statement Highmark released at the time said the money was going to “support health and wellness efforts across Northeastern Pennsylvania.”

But West Pittston-based attorney Michael J. Cefalo, who is representing the plaintiffs alongwiththePhiladelphialaw firm Caroselli, Beachler, McTiernan & Coleman, says that as a nonprofit, Blue Cross should have used that money to help its ratepayers.

“It’s not their money. It belongs to the people who paid the premiums,” Cefalo said.

“They have to give that back to the subscribers.”

Highmark spokesman Anthony Matrisciano said the company had not been served with the suit Friday and does not comment on pending litigation.

A legal obligation Plains Township joined the lawsuit because many of its employees had been insured

by Blue Cross, township solicitor Stephen Menn said. The

“We felt it was something that we needed to address on behalf of the municipality, in the event there was money that should be applied toward our premium as opposed to being used in some other fashion,” Menn said. “If you’re not part of it, you’re not going to get a reduction in costs, and if you are part of it, it doesn’t cost you anything.”

The lawsuit asks the court to declare that the $90 million — just a portion of the more than $300 million surplus Blue Cross had at the end of 2013 — can only be used to benefit policyholders and cannot be given away. It also seeks unspecified damages for what the plaintiffs term “BCNEPA’s breaches of contract in retaining over ($40 million) of unlawful underwriting profits.”

“The funds which BCNEPA sought to and then gave away are not assets of BCNEPA freely disposable at the whim of BCNEPA but rather are held by BCNEPA in trust for the benefit of its policyholders for the purpose of providing direct benefits to policyholders,” says the lawsuit, which was signed by attorney David S. Senoff.

WB_VOICE - DLY - 4 - 08/22/15

The attorneys argue Blue Cross had a legal obligation to act as a nonprofit because of its own articles of incorporation, which say the corporation “does not contemplate pecuniary gain or profit, incidental or otherwise, to its members.”

A 2005 determination by the state Insurance Department established appropriate operating surplus ranges for Blue Cross plans because in some cases it is appropriate to “provide recompense” to customers for their premiums, according to the suit. The lawyers contend that the document “plainly and clearly stated” that “there was not to be any profit component for such policies.”

Despite that, Blue Cross violated the law by generating and retaining $41.7 million in profit between 2012 and 2014, the suit alleges.

Since the merger with Highmark was announced in February 2014, Blue Cross of NEPA has “again and again made it clear that it intended to give away its surplus to charitable organizations rather than, as required by law, to use such funds to benefit policyholders,” the lawsuit says.

Cefalo said the money should go back to policyhold-

ers, either as a dividend or an alternative benefit such as eliminated co-pays for doctors’ visits or cut costs for prescription drugs.

The suit contends that Blue Cross claims to have an “expert opinion” justifying the $90 million donation but it “deliberately has concealed that information from its policyholders (and the public at large), claiming that it is ‘confidential.’”

“Incredibly, BCNEPA engages in such blatant unlawful conduct despite the fact that BCNEPA has never agreed to any suggestion that it is a ‘charity,’” the complaint says. “Indeed, objecting to previous attempts to curtail its activities, BCNEPA maintained that it ‘clearly (is) not a charitable organization.’”

Citing what they term the “improper transfer” of the $90 million, the plaintiffs have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking a judge to rule the money can’t be used in a way at odds with state law and Blue Cross’ articles of incorporation, and also that the money must be used “for the direct benefit” of Blue Cross policyholders.

Luzerne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III gave the defendants 30 days to respond

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T04] | 08/21/15

to the motion and set arguments in the matter for Oct. 7.

“Appellants’ attempt to assert a breach of fiduciary duty is simply another attempt, be it under a different name, to attack Blue Cross’s business-making actions and decisions,” the justices wrote. “While Blue Cross may have a fiduciary duty to appellants under its contract, that duty does not extend to Blue Cross’s business practices, and thus appellants’ breach of fiduciary duty claim cannot stand.”

Over the years, retired state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, has been an outspoken critic of the Blue Cross using its surplus for any purpose other than to reduce rates, saying people who have contacted her are outraged that they have no input on how their money is being spent.

“They’re an insurance company, not an charitable organization,” Mundy said Friday.

In 2004, Mundy critiqued the corporation for using its operating budget to pay for four senior executives’ membership at the Huntsville Golf Club in Lehman Township, which at the time cost $15,000 per corporate member.

Mundy again took aim at the organization in 2007 when news broke that it had donated $70,000 of its surplus money to a Democratic political advocacy group.

During her time in office, Mundy repeatedly sought to require Blue Cross and other non-profit health insurance companies to use their surpluses to reduce rates for customers, arguing Blue Cross should not be raising rates when it has millions of dollars in its coffers.

Her attempts at legislation were unsuccessful, be she said Friday that she thinks the pressure she put on the administration at the time helped bring about the 2005 Insurance Department determination referenced in the lawsuit.

“It almost sounds like we’re right back where we started from in 2005 because Blue Cross surpluses did decrease there for a long time,” Mundy said. “It looks like they’re right back up where they started.”

A source of controversy Blue Cross of NEPA’s use of surplus money has been a controversial topic for years.

The company has in the past claimed that the hundreds of millions in surplus money was a “safety net” for the approximately 600,000 people it insures.

But the money hasn’t always served that purpose alone. In 2002, the company found itself the target of a class-action lawsuit in Lackawanna County that would have forced it to divest itself of up to $338 million of its reserves to preserve its taxexempt status under state law.

The plaintiffs also sought to block the insurance company’s plan to spend $175 million to integrate local health-care systems and support the creation of a local medical school.

After nearly a decade in the court system, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in June 2011 ruled against plaintiff Robert Petty, who was covered under Blue Cross policy for employees of R.G. Petty Masonry of Clarks Summit.

The court found he and the business lacked standing in jhalpin@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2058, @cvjimhalpin the case.

Man struck, killed by train in Lackawanna County Two Carbon County

teenagers killed in two-vehicle wreck

By Peter Cameron and Kathleen Bolus Staff Writers

Within minutes Friday morning, two apparently unrelated train collisions occurred in Lackawanna County.

Just after 6 a.m., the first train struck a man in a wooded area in Glenburn Township., killing him.

The man first crashed his Jeep Cherokee into a telephone pole Friday morning, state police said. Then he walked about a quarter of a mile into a wooded area near the rail bridge that crosses East Main Street.

He was hit along a stretch of the Canadian Pacific line between the Glenburn Township Building and the Dalton Borough line, Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland said.

The coroner ruled the death a suicide. The Citizens’ Voice does not identify suicide victims unless they are public figures or otherwise prominent in the news.

Two minutes later and about eight miles away, another train crashed into a vehicle abandoned on the tracks in Scranton along the McDade Expressway.

No one was injured in the collision, and the train wasn’t damaged, said Nate Charles, trainmaster for the railroad company, Norfolk Southern, from the scene late Friday morning.

BuTch comegyS / TimeS-Shamrock

In a second incident Friday, a driver drove off the McDade Expressway and abandoned his vehicle on the adjacent railroad tracks causing a collision in Scranton. No injuries were reported in that incident.

Both incidents involved northbound Norfolk Southern trains running on rail lines belonging to Canadian Pacific.

In the second crash, an unidentified individual drove a pickup off the expressway southbound near the Main Avenue exit, through the weeds and onto the adjacent train tracks before ditching the vehicle, Charles said.

The train struck the truck and pushed it about four train car lengths, he said.

The train was pulling miscellaneous freight, but more than 20 cars were labeled “liq-

uefied petroleum gas” and posted with flammable signs.

At least one other car was labeled “chlorine.”

Andrew Cummings, a spokesman for Canadian Pacific, said there was no public safety risk as a result of the collision but refused to reveal whether the cars were carrying gas.

Scranton police identified the owner of the truck as a city resident and learned it had not been reported stolen, but forwarded all information to the Canadian Pacific police, who have jurisdiction in the case,

Two Carbon County teenagers died Thursday in a two-vehicle crash on Route 903 in Penn Forest Township, state police at Fern Glen said.

Police did not identify the female victims, both 16-year-old Albrightsville residents who were passengers in the same vehicle.

According to police, Te g a n K a n e, 1 8 , o f Albrightsville was traveling north on Route 903 at 8:55 p.m. when he lost control of his vehicle and entered the southbound lanes. Kane’s vehicle was struck by a southbound vehicle driven

by Verner Drohan, 76, of Fulton, New York.

Multiple passengers were ejected from Kane’s vehicle, police said.

Police said Kane suffered moderate injuries. A 1 5 - ye a r- o l d b o y f r o m Lehighton and another

passenger from Albrightsville, whose age was not provided, suffered major injuries. Another passenger in Kane’s vehicle, a 1 7 - ye a r- o l d b o y f r o m Albrightsville, was in serious condition.

Drohan suffered moderate injuries in the crash, and his passenger, Gail Drohan, 72, of Fulton, New York, sustained major injuries.

The injured were taken by ambulances to Lehigh Valley-Cedar Crest and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township, for treatment.

State police were assisted by Albrightsville Fire C o m p a n y, L e h i g h t o n Ambulance, Pocono Ambulance, All Points Towing and state police in Lehighton.

Police are continuing the investigation.

Repairs done on Kingston water main; broken W-B pipe continues to gush

By James Halpin Staff Writer

Pennsylvania American Water has completed repairs to the 30-inch water main that burst in Kingston on Tuesday and restored service to all 6,600 customers who were cut off for three days.

Crews are still working to adjust valves in the system and flushing the pipes before putting the main back into service. Customers may see discolored water during that process and should simply flush their cold faucets until the water runs clear, the company said.

A boil advisory remains in effect until further notice.

The water company will be testing the water quality and the advisory will be lifted after samples taken on two days come back clean.

In the meantime, the water company is continuing to provide tankers of drinking water at the following locations: n Lowe’s in the West Side Mall, Edwardsville. n Swoyersville Borough Building. n West Walnut Street and Wyoming Avenue, Kingston. n Luzerne Shopping Center, Luzerne. n Vaughn Street, Luzerne.

Barre’s East End on Friday afternoon.

A broken valve at Scott and Hillard streets sent water into storms drains there. Pennsylvania American Water spokeswoman Susan Turcmanovich said crews would be scheduled to repair that problem sometime next week. The problem was not affecting any customers’ service, she said.

Orange traf fic cones blocked off the pipe on the side of Scott Street. Neighbor Cynthia Bhagat watched the gallons of water spew down the street.

She called the water company several days ago when the water pressure in her home was low, and a crew came within minutes and fixed it. The valve in the street, however, had been bubbling water for three days, with the force appearing to increase each day and she was worried water could seep into her basement.

“Why are they leaving it the way it is?” she said.

Around the corner, at Chapel and New Grant streets, a broken 4-inch main sent more water onto the street and into drains. A metal plate covered the site of the break and a small piece of construction equipment was parked on top.

Kingston fire victim remains hospitalized in burn unit

By Jacob Seibel Staff Writer

KINGSTON — Three days after a fierce fire at a doubleblock home in Kingston, one woman remains in a burn unit in critical condition Friday while her 2-year-old son and neighbor have been treated and released from the hospital.

A good Samaritan rescued the mother and son, and firefighters rescued the neighbor. All three victims were taken to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township for injuries from the fire that destroyed 42-44 W. Dorrance St. on Tuesday.

Ashley Bartusek, 28, was transferred from Geisinger to the Burn Recovery Center at Lehigh Valley HospitalCedar Crest in Lehigh County where she remains sedated in critical condition hooked up to a ventilation system, but is expected to make a full recovery, according to fire officials and her family. Her son, Elliot Bartusek, and her neighbor, Christine Huber were treated and released from Geisinger earlier this week.

Matt Eck, 45, said he was home around 10 p.m. Tuesday after taking out recyclables when he saw the image of a fire reflecting off a neighbor’s windows. He said he hopped a fence and ran to the front of the house. With the fire already ablaze and spreading, he burned his hand trying to get in the front door of 42 W. Dorrance St., the half where Ashley and Elliot Bartusek lived. He ran to the back of the home.

He can’t remember whether the back door was locked, but he got inside to find the child standing there, wrapping him in his arms and carrying him to safety.

“I’m looking at the fear of this child and realizing, ‘You have a mother, you have a father. They’re in there.

You’re not just here by yourself,” Eck said.

The dense smoke hit him when he went back inside for the boy’s mother. Visibility was almost zero. He walked around the bottom floor, reaching down feeling for another person. He felt an arm. She was unresponsive, he said.

Cradling Ashley Bartusek, he carried her outside where her mother Margaret Bartusek, who lives next door and owns and rents out the burning double-block home, was hysterical. Her father, Dan Bartusek, was also outside.

Firefighters found heavy flames and smoke on both sides of the house, said Kingston Assistant Fire Chief Eric Kropa said.

Artists collect more than 30,000 knots for papal art exhibit

By Kathy Matheson Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Artists are finishing construction of an unusual exhibit they hope resonates with Pope Francis during his trip to Philadelphia and with anyone experiencing trouble in their daily life.

When it opens Sept. 3, the grotto outside the city’s Roman Catholic cathedral will house more than 30,000 knots, each representing a personal hardship or societal challenge.

“It’s deeply moving to see the universal quality of these struggles,” said lead artist Meg Saligman.

Organizers are crossing their fingers that Francis, who celebrates Mass at the

basilica on Sept. 26, will visit the installation because it’s inspired by one of his favorite paintings, “Mary, Undoer of Knots.” The artwork shows her untangling a long ribbon — a symbol for smoothing life’s difficulties.

Knots for the project have been gathered worldwide. At a recent public event outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, passers-by wrote their burdens on strips of cloth and then tied the fabric in a knot. Challenges ranged from addictions to student loans to health problems.

Participants were then invited to undo someone else’s knot — to symbolically share that person’s hardship — and weave it through a loom for all to see.

“I thought it was nice to

be aware of someone else’s pains, someone else’s struggles, and that you’re not alone,” said Abigail Quintos of Rochester, New York. “A lot of other people are going through tough times in their lives.”

Quintos’ own knot addressed the strain of living so far away from her family; the one she untied dealt with an individual’s housing and child custody hardships.

Lisa Cerasaro’s knot concerned what she described as the scourge of corporate

greed in America. When she randomly reached for another person’s knot, it turned out to be in Spanish — which she doesn’t understand.

“But I’m just weaving it in, wishing good thoughts for that person,” said Cerasaro, of Middletown, New Jersey.

Francis is scheduled to visit Philadelphia on Sept.

The women met through Dickson’s sister when Dickson was teaching. Miller began subbing for Dickson when needed. Between teaching and attending other yoga classes together, the two became fast friends.

“We balance each other out,” said Dickson, noting Miller is the calmer of the two.

On Friday evenings, Home Yoga and Barre hosts the Karma Hour of Power. The cost of this class is donated to a charity of the month. Members can make a donation while non-members will pay $8 for the class. One hundred percent of all proceeds will be donated to a local charity.

The community reception to the new studio has been inspiring. Having just opened on August 10th, Miller and Dickson were happy with how busy classes have already become.

“Everyone has been super friendly and the turnout has definitely been better than expected,” said Miller.

“They were receptive and supportive. They have fostered this wonderful community. Yoga is really not about competition,” said Dickson.

Home Yoga and Barre features ten teachers and eighteen classes per week. The studio is open seven days per week and offers morning, afternoon and evening classes which will help meet the schedule needs of many in the community. Home Yoga and Barre is conveniently located close to the West Pittston side of the Water Street Bridge and US Route 11.

Feds: Ex-coach stole $91,000 from charity inspired by player

By Joe Mandak Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A former high school baseball coach has been charged with stealing $91,000 from a charity for terminally ill children that he founded in the memory of a player who made national headlines in his courageous effort to play sports while dying of cancer.

Steven Wetzel, 39, is sorry and intends to plead guilty to

at least some of the charges leveled late Thursday by federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh, his attorney told The Associated Press on Friday.

"The allegations the government filed in their information yesterday are very serious. Mr. Wetzel is very remorseful and sorry that he damaged the trust of those who gave," defense attorney Steven Toprani said. "My client was naive in the way funds should be handled and he's accepted

responsibility for that."

Wetzel established the Hero Program after 18-year-old John Challis died in August 2008.

Challis realized his dream when he was used as a pinchhitter by Wetzel for one game in April 2008 at Freedom High School in Beaver County. Challis, who was 5-foot-5 and 93 pounds, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer two years before.

Challis graduated from

General

high school that June and got to meet the Pittsburgh Pirates and throw out the first pitch at a game that same month. He spoke to reporters about coming to grips with his premature death.

"I'm a little surprised that people don't understand how easy I think it is for a young person, especially myself, to see this major situation as a positive — I mean I don't see it as a positive, but I'm not complaining about it," Challis said.

Raise legal age for tobacco purchases

The healthiest and easiest way to deal with addiction is to not become addicted, a simple truth that finally should become the foundation of law and policy regarding tobacco.

In March, the Institute of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health released a convincing study on how the nation could drive down nicotine addiction and save millions of lives, at no cost to the government. According to the IM, raising the legal age for tobacco purchases from 18 to 21 would result in 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer and 250,000 fewer premature deaths from all smokingcaused diseases for people born between 2000 and 2019.

And, it would eliminate the health care and related costs that would accrue from those diseases.

It is well-documented that almost all smokers take up the habit and become addicted before they are 21. The IM study found that raising the legal age to 21 would reduce the overall smoking rate within the population by 12 percent, whereas raising the age to 19 would reduce the overall rate by only 3 percent.

The Food and Drug Administration commissioned the study but it does not have the authority to set a legal purchase age nationwide.

That is the purview of state and local governments. Four states have set the age at 19. New York City raised the age to 21 last year; Hawaii did so this year and California is expected to follow suit.

Needham, Massachusetts raised the age to 21 in 2005.

According to a study in the journal Tobacco Control, smoking in Needham among those younger than 18 subsequently declined from 13 percent to just 7 percent, while smoking by people in that age group in nearby communities, where the legal age remained 18, declined only from 15 percent to 12 percent.

Although 18-year-olds are adults who can vote, join the military, drive, work at dangerous jobs and so on, they may not buy alcoholic beverages until they turn 21. Over the long haul, tobacco use is even more dangerous than drinking. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are the only consumer products that are lethal when used as intended by the manufacturers.

The state Legislature should begin the process of raising the legal age to 21.

Why Trump’s immigration proposals are resonating

By Ramesh Ponnuru Bloomberg View TNS

Reactions to Donald Trump’s immigration plan have been predictably polarized, with people either thinking it will make America great again or considering it an invitation to a pogrom. Taken seriously and stripped of excesses, though, it points the way toward a sensible compromise on immigration policy.

Taking it seriously isn’t always easy, since Trump doesn’t seem to take it all that seriously himself. The plan on his campaign website suggests he’d stanch the flow of immigrants coming to work at American technology companies; on Twitter, by contrast, Trump says that he wants talented foreigners to come work in Silicon Valley and become citizens.

The plan says nothing about how most unauthorized immigrants already in the U.S. would be treated. But Trump has suggested that he’ll send them to their countries of origin and then let them come back, which seems like an expensive and administratively complex exercise in pointlessness (albeit one that other politicians have sometimes also suggested). So like most of the Republican presidential candidates and Hillary Rodham Clinton, he favors an eventual amnesty.

The best feature of the plan, to my eyes, is its promise of a “moderation” in total immigration levels. Americans who want to allow fewer legal immigrants into the country have consistently outnumbered those who want to allow more. But far more politicians have fallen in the latter camp — usually without debating it. A smaller inflow would make assimilation easier and could relieve the economic pressure on low-wage workers (including previous immigrants).

The worst feature of the plan is its promise to end “birthright citizenship,” so that the children of illegal immigrants are no longer automatically considered U.S. citizens.

I say that even though the U.S. is an outlier in following this practice, even though it complicates enforcement of immi-

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T14] | 08/21/15

gration laws (since it means either breaking up families or sending away citizens), and even though there’s a legitimate debate over whether the Constitution really requires it.

Ending birthright citizenship is neither necessary nor sufficient to reduce illegal immigration. Trump’s other proposals — such as cracking down on visa overstays and expanding the E-Verify system — would probably be much more effective and much less politically damaging. And even if Congress passed and the president signed a bill ending birthright citizenship, the courts would almost certainly strike it down.

So forget the citizenship proposal and some other farfetched portions of the plan. Two remaining ideas — a reduction in legal immigration and an eventual amnesty — could be a viable compromise between the contending sides of this debate. That compromise would reflect the reality that we’re not going to deport the vast bulk of the illegal-immigrant population and that the U.S. economy doesn’t need to continue taking in as many unskilled immigrants as it now does.

One thing that shouldn’t be part of a compromise is Trump’s call to boost enforcement of current law. That should instead be a prerequisite to compromise, indeed a prerequisite to having any serious immigration policy.

Polls have often shown that Americans are open to an amnesty. But they don’t trust that the laws are going to be enforced in the future, or that any amnesty would be the last one.

That’s one reason there’s a market for Trump to promise tough enforcement, even in outlandish ways. For all his flaws, he understands that the public doesn’t trust lawmakers on this issue.

In 1952, the conservative intellectual Irving Kristol wrote an essay about why so many Americans were attracted to the anticommunist demagogue Joseph McCarthy. To adapt what he said then: One thing Americans know about Trump is that he is unequivocally for getting control of immigration. About the rest of our political leadership they feel they know no such thing. And with some justification.

Sorry Donald, substance trumps style Knights of Columbus

By Susan Stamper Brown Cagle Cartoons Inc.

to sponsor Rosary Rally in September

Editor: Most everyone will agree that our country has problems that seem irreparable and hopeless. But there was a similar time over 2,000 years ago. At that time an angel of the Lord spoke to a young maiden and she said yes and conceived the savior of the world, our blessed Lord, Jesus. In modern times she, Mary, came to Fatima, Portugal, to three children to beg for prayer and repentance.

It is my belief that we can tur n things around, for the good of our country, by responding to this maiden, Mary, and ask her prayers for this our dear country.

There is a quote, “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” Let us publicly ask her to go to her son, Jesus, for our benefit. It was at her request that Jesus performed His first public miracle at the wedding feast of Cana.

On Sunday, Sept. 13, the Knights of Columbus will sponsor a Rosary Rally at All Saints Parish, Willow Street, Plymouth. All are welcome to join in an outdoor procession which begins at 2 p.m. from the church. The Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima statue will be carried by the Knights of Columbus. Prayers, followed by Mass, will be said in the church beginning at 3 p.m.

All are invited. Refreshments will be served in closing. Let us come out for this public display of prayer for our nation.

1939 prelude to war speech (which can heard in all its crackly splendor online) gives light to the great leader he was.

Each consciously calculated word enunciated, between far too many pauses and near-stammers, warned beloved countrymen of a clear and present danger should Nazism prevail. His brother and predecessor, King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne to pursue personal passions, could’ve said it prettier.

But not better.

We’ve learned from Barack Obama that anyone can be elected to lead, but not everyone that’s elected can lead.

Obama’s lack of substance weakened us as a nation. Oh, what we would give for a side of King George’s stammering to go with a humungous portion of American patriotism.

And we have the opportunity to right a wrong, if we demand quality and character next time around. Maybe someone with an unabashed love for America who will defend our God-given rights and freedoms?

And my mind wanders a bit... to a delightful little snippet in a Hollywood movie about King George VI’s life, “The King’s Speech,” where the king’s daughter Lilibet sees a film clip of Hitler speaking and asks, “Papa, what’s he saying?” King George VI replies, “I don’t know, but he seems to be saying it rather well.”

Social anxiety prevents teen from stepping out of the closet

DEAR ABBY: I am a lesbian, still in high school, who has not yet come out to any friends or family. I want them to know, but I’m afraid to tell them.

I’m pretty sure this is who I am, and I don’t want them to dismiss my identity. I also don’t want them to think of me differently — I want to be the same person in their eyes as I was before I came out.

They aren’t homophobic to my knowledge, but I feel “stuck.”

I have fairly bad social anxiety, so it’s difficult for me to say anything. I’d be grateful for any advice you have.

— HIDING IN COLORADO DEAR HIDING: I suggest you first deal with your social anxiety (a counselor can help you with this) because it may make it easier for you to come out when you finally decide to do it.

Until you are secure in yourself about who you are, I think you should wait to announce your sexual orientation to other people.

DEAR ABBY: I am totally frustrated. My wife has implemented alerts on our credit cards, bank accounts and debit card accounts to a point that I can’t buy surprise gifts for her birthday, our anniversary, Valentine’s Day, etc., without receiving a text from her almost immediately asking if I charged something to a specific store.

Do you think this is a control obsession, or is she just overly cautious? Every time I try to discuss this with her, she says she’s trying to make sure we are not hacked, etc. I

Popular foods taking on new hues without artificial dyes

A little care, a little brine can produce stellar pork chops

Candice Choi Associated Press

Let’s face it, a cookout on Labor Day, that bittersweet farewell to summer, tends to attract the hedonistic hordes.

Your challenge as host is to come up with something that’s simple to prepare, but not boring. These pork chops do the job splendidly.

Once upon a time pork chops were pretty rich. These days they’re lean enough to be marketed as “the other white meat.” Health-wise, you can’t beat them. Flavorwise and texture-wise? You’ll have to baby them a little so they don’t dry out. And I find the best bet to ensure that chops turn out moist and toothsome is to brine them before you cook them.

When meat is brined — that is, when it is marinated in a solution of salt and water — the salt not only deeply penetrates and seasons the meat, it also changes the structure of the meat’s proteins, enabling it to retain liquid during cooking.

Typically, a brine is comprised of salt and water. But hereI’veswappedoutthewater for beer and further flavored it withfreshrosemaryandgarlic.

The barbecued onions consist of nothing more than onions and barbecue sauce. Just be sure to cook the onions until they’re very brown and soft before adding the barbecue sauce. And try to pick a sauce that’s not too sweet; the onions alone will be plenty sweet after they’ve browned.

in pork chops (about 2½ pounds total) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra for brushing the chops 4 cups thinly sliced yellow onions ¼ cup barbecue sauce Ground black pepper 4 ounces (about 1 cup) coarsely grated sharp cheddar (optional)

MAtthew MeAd / AssociAted Press

These beer-brined pork chops with barbecued onions makes the perfect family meal. With a little care and a little brine, this recipe can yield flavorful, moist pork chops.

As mentioned, you don’t want to overcook the pork.

Well-done pork is a no-no, even if it has been brined.

Until fairly recently, the government recommended cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160 F to guarantee the killing of the parasite called trichinosis, which was prevalent in pork. Thankfully, these days health officials say 145 F is plenty hot to get the job done. And that’s a good thing for flavor.

The best way to determine a pork chop’s doneness is to insert an instant thermometer into the side of the chop,

not straight down from the top. To get the most accurate reading, be sure the thermometer penetrates the meat a couple inches at least. As soon as the chop reaches 140 F, pull it off the grill and let it rest for 8 minutes before serving it.

The meat finishes cooking during this rest. It also gives the meat’s juices time to redistribute.

If you don’t let the chop rest after it cooks, most of its juices will stream out willy-nilly, leaving a dry pork chop, which is almost as sad as the fact that the days are getting shorter.

Beer-brined pork chops with barbecue onions If you prefer, skip the cheese. It’s a wonderful indulgence, but it’s hardly essential. If you skip it, let the chops cook to 140 F, then pull them off.

Start to finish: 4 hours 45 minutes (45 minutes active) Servings: 4 4 cups dark lager beer (or your favorite beer) Kosher salt 2 tablespoons dried rosemary 6 large garlic cloves, crushed Four 1-inch thick bone-

In a large bowl or gallon zipclose plastic bag, combine the beer, 3 tablespoons of salt, the rosemary and garlic. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Add the pork chops, then refrigerate, turning the chops every so often, for 4 to 6 hours.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onions and a hefty pinch of salt. Saute until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce and set aside.

When the chops are almost done marinating, heat one side of the grill to medium, leave the other side off.

Use paper towels to pat chops dry, then brush with oil and season with pepper. Grill over the flames until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to the cooler side of the grill and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 138 F. Top each chop with a quarter of the barbecue onions and a quarter of the cheese. Cover and cook, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer the pork to a plate and let it covered for 8 minutes.

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. — Mozzarella cheese at Panera restaurants won’t be as glaringly white. Banana peppers in Subway sandwiches won’t be the same exact shade of yellow. Trix cereal will have two fewer colors.

Food makers are purging their products of artificial dyes as people increasingly eschew anything in their food they don’t feel is natural. But replicating the vivid colors Americans expect with ingredients like beets and carrots isn’t always easy.

In fact, General Mills couldn’t find good alternatives for the blue and green pieces in Trix, so the company is getting rid of those colors when the cereal is reformulated later this year. The red pieces — which will be colored with radishes and strawberries — will also look different.

“We haven’t been able to get that same vibrant color,” said Kate Gallager, General Mills’ cereal developer.

The shift away from artificial dyes represents the latest chapter for food coloring in the U.S., which has had a rocky history. As recently as 1950, the Food and Drug Administration said children became sick after eating an orange Halloween candy that contained a dye.

The agency eventually whittled down its list of approved color additives after finding several had caused “serious adverse effects.”

Now, more companies say they are replacing artificial dyes with colors made from fruits, vegetables and spices, which are widely considered “natural,” although the FDA doesn’t classify them that way.

But these present more challenges than artificial dyes.

In addition to costing more, colors from fruits and vegetables can be sensitive to heat and acidity. And since they’re used in higher doses to achieve boldness, tweaks to other parts of recipes may be needed.

Such adjustments can be tricky for companies that manufacture on massive scales.

Stir-fried cucumbers pair perfectly with pork “The best things that can come out of the garden are gifts for other people.” – Jamie Jobb Author and gardener Jamie Jobb came up with those wise words that serve as the theme of today’s fo o d c o l u m n . Fo r f ive ye a r s, I h ave e n j o ye d watching the garden in my shared courtyard bloom each spring and summer.

This year is no different; there have been a nice assortment of tomatoes of various shapes and colors growing in the sunlight.

My neighbors who maint a i n t h e g a r d e n h ave always allowed me to partake in anything they grow, as their plots are full of fruits and vegetables.

M y c o - wo rke r s w i t h green thumbs have also been generous this growing season. My family and I enjoyed grape tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. I feel lucky to have great people in my life who also have a talent and the patience for such a hobby.

For many, there can be a problem with bur nout.

With a bumper crop or a basket from a generous friend, there may be times where you don’t know what to do with all that fresh goodness. Have containers of pickles or jam consumed your pantry? Has the sight of mason jars driven you batty? Although I have only grown a modest

herb garden in the past, I know how difficult it can be to think of ways to consume what gardens have to offer.

Fo r c u c u m b e r s, g o beyond salads, sandwiches and pickle slices. Rarely do cucumbers get the star treatment in a dish, and this stir-fry recipe catapults them to where they need to be.

Inspired by a recent Serious Eats post, I wanted to create a dish that was easy to prepare indoors (especially with the recent heat spells) and was low in carbohydrates. No rice, no couscous and no polenta would be used as a side dish, but nothing is stopping you from preparing them.

Thin cucumber slices allow for quick cooking, requiring little oil for frying. Add some boneless pork chops and a soy-ginger sauce, and the meal is ready in about an hour.

This recipe is also meant for two servings, but it can be easily doubled.

After this column, I am taking a short break from food writing. I want to take time to try new cui-

sines, lear n more techniques and reflect on the creations I have made so far. It has been a pleasure to write this column, and I hope to come back soon with a new perspective and more goodies.

Stir-fried cucumber slices with pork and soy-ginger sauce (Inspired by Serious Eats) Makes 2 servings Cucumbers: 1 large cucumber, cleaned and about 1 pound 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, divided Pork and sauce: 2 boneless, center-cut pork chops, about 12 ounces ¼ cup water ¼ cup regular or lowsodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon of gingerinfused white balsamic vinegar or 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar and ½ teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground black pepper Scant ½ teaspoon cornstarch Cut the cucumber into ¼-inch slices and place into a plastic or nonreactive bowl. Add the salt and toss the slices to get an even coating. Stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. This will get rid o f m o s t o f t h e e xc e s s water.

larger pan, making sure not to add the excess water. Reserve the water for the sauce or for later use. Fry the cucumbers for about 6 minutes, stirring continuously, until the slices are translucent.

Remove from heat.

As the slices are frying, add the pork chops to the other pan. Saute for 6 minutes on both sides, until the outside is a golden brown.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, white balsamic vinegar and black pepper until combined. Add the cornstarch and continue to mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Remove the pork pan from heat and deglaze it with water. Add the sauce mixture and return the pan to heat for another 2 minutes.

To assemble, place the cucumber slices on a plate and top with a pork chop.

Glaze about 1 tablespoon of the sauce over the chop and the slices, allowing the cucumber and meat to be at the same temperature.

Serve immediately.

The sauce mixture without the cornstarch can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Add the cor nstarch when you are ready to make the meal.

Note: Adding too much cornstarch will not only make the sauce too thick, it will become very salty and overpowering. An easy way to gauge how the sauce will turn out will be to add the starch by one-eighth of a teaspoon. For more flavor, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or 2 cloves of garlic or substitute the water with rice wine, beer or orange juice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep your emotions under control. You will end up in a vulnerable position if you are too open about the way you feel or what you want. Don’t let a secret affair entice you to make a move that you will regret.

Don’t let physical or emotional interference stand in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Open your doors and entertain friends, relatives or peers. It’s what you do, not what you say, that will lead to greater popularity. Do your best to listen more and say less in order to avoid being misinterpreted.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look for a new means of entertainment. Sign up for a course, take a short trip or make plans to get together with people you enjoy. A community event will open your eyes to different cultures and life choices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your temper under control and refrain from getting involved in activities that could lead to injury. Pampering should be scheduled. Do your best to avoid emotional encounters that can lead to a frustrating situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Mix business with

hearts and one club. But what does the heart nine signify?

It is top of nothing. East must have the heart ace-jack. If that is so, declarer can freeze the suit momentarily by playing dummy’s queen. East wins with the ace, but cannot return a heart without conceding a trick in the suit. South wins East’s diamond-queen shift with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, then drives out the club ace. This establishes a discard for his heart loser.

Note that if declarer plays the heart 10 at trick one, he should go down. East covers with his jack to drive out South’s king. Then, when West gets in with his club ace, a second heart lead gives the defenders two tricks in the suit, along with the spade queen and club ace.

French official: 2 Americans subdued train gunman

By Greg Keller Associated Press PARIS — A gunman opened fire on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris Friday, wounding two people before being subdued by two American passengers, officials said.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking in Arras in northern France where the suspected was detained, said one of the Americans was hospitalized with serious wounds. Their names were not immediately released.

Philippe Lorthiois, an official with the Alliance police union, said on i-Tele that the two Americans were soldiers.

In Washington, the Pentagon said it “can only confirm that one U.S. military member was injured in the incident.

The injury is not life-threatening.”

Contrary to early reports, Lorthiois said the attacker did not fire his automatic weapon but wounded one man with a handgun and the other with a blade of some kind.

Investigators from France’s special anti-terror police are leading the investigation, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

“As always where an act that could be terrorist in nature is involved, the greatest care and the greatest precision will be used,” Cazeneuve said.

The suspect is a 26-year-old Moroccan, according to Sliman Hamzi, an official with the police union Alliance, who spoke on French television i-Tele.

Cazeneuve said the two Americans “were particularly courageous and showed great

A gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris Friday, wounding three people before being subdued by two American passengers, officials said. bravery in very difficult circumstances” and that “without their sangfroid we could have been confronted with a terrible drama.”

Lorthiois said the gunman shot one victim and injured another with a bladed weapon.

A third person, French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, suffered a minor injury while activating the train’s emergency alarm, Lorthiois said.

The attack took place at 1545 GMT while the Thalys train was passing through Belgium, according to a statement from the office President Francois Hollande. Hollande said he’s spoken with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel and

the two leaders pledged to cooperate closely on the investigation.

A young woman said on i-Tele that she was in the carriage next to the one which the gunman struck.

“I wouldn’t call it a fusillade, because even in the next wagon we didn’t hear any shots,” said Margaux, who declined to give her last name. She said passengers remained “relatively calm,” and some showed no concern until police boarded the train.

Europe’s major rail stations, such as Paris’ Gare du Nord and Brussels’ Gare du Midi, are patrolled by soldiers armed with rifles, but passen-

gers can board most highspeed trains without passing through metal detectors or having their bags searched.

One exception is the Eurostar between Paris and London. Passengers on those trains must pass through a metal detector and have their bags scanned as well.

Thalys is owned by the French and Belgian railways and operates high-speed trains serving Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne, Germany.

French authorities have been on heightened alert since Islamic extremist attacks in January left 20 people dead, including the three attackers.

Police: Man shoots security guard, self at federal building

By Jake Pearson And Colleen Long Associated Press

NEW YORK — A man walked into a federal building in New York City late F r i d ay a f t e r n o o n a n d opened fire, wounding a security guard in the head, before turning the gun on himself, police said.

The unidentified man died in the building in Manhattan, police said.

The man walked through a side entrance of the building around 5 p.m. and shot the security guard in the head, New York Police Department Chief James O’Neil said. The man then walked through the security area and headed to an elevator, where he encountered another employee, O’Neil said. The man then shot himself in the head.

The guard was taken to a

hospital; his condition was not immediately known.

Police said the motive for the shooting remained unclear.

The federal office building on Varick Street houses an immigration court, passport processing center and a re gional of fice for the Department of Labor. The guard had a weapon but it doesn’t appear he was able to fire, according to police.

O’Neil, speaking at a news conference at the scene, said it appeared the shooter acted alone. He said nothing gave police any reason to believe the shooting was terroristrelated.

Employees at the building said they were told to get down on the ground when the shots rang out. A short time later, the building was placed on lockdown and then evacuated.

Migrants clash with Macedonian police on border with Greece

By Dusan Stojanovic Associated Press

IDOMENI, Greece — Macedonian police fired stun grenades Friday to disperse thousands of migrants stuck in a no man’s land with Greece and clashed with them as they desperately tried to rush over the border, a day after Macedonia’s government declared a state of emergency on the frontier to halt a human tide heading north to the European Union.

About 3,000 migrants who spent the night in the open made several attempts to charge the police — and some hurled stones at the Macedonian forces. At least eight people were injured in the melee, according to Greek police.

Machine-gun toting police backed by armored vehicles spread coils of razor wire over rail tracks used by migrants to cross on foot from Greece to Macedonia, and the army was deployed Friday to the border areas. Macedonia shut the border to crossings on Thursday.

Hours after Friday’s clashes, however, Macedonian police started letting small groups of families with children cross by walking along railway tracks to a station in the Macedonian town of Gevgelija, where most take trains to the border with Serbia.

“They are letting groups of about 30-40 people go, probably

A Macedonian police officer blocks migrants at no-man’s land between Greece and Macedonia near the border train station of Idomeni, northern Greece on Friday. Macedonian special police forces have fired stun grenades to disperse thousands of migrants stuck on a no-man’s land with Greece, a day after Macedonia declared a state of emergency on its borders to deal with a massive influx of migrants heading north to Europe. because they want to control the rush into Macedonia,” said a Syrian who gave only his first name, Hassan. He was walking with his family and children over a rusty bridge toward Gevgelija. “I think they’ll let all of us go eventually.”

Dozens of people fainted as they tried to position themselves in the line to cross, with riot police pushing them back with shields against the tide.

Children cried and women wept in the chaotic scenes that left many migrants stranded for another night on the dusty field.

Among the injured was a yo u n g s t e r w h o w a s bleeding from what appeared to be shrapnel from the stun grenades that were fired directly into the crowd. A man holding a baby got tangled in razor wire separating

the two sides.

T h e m i g r a n t s, m a ny with babies and young children, spent the chilly and windy night in a dusty field on the border without food and with little water.

Some ate corn they picked from nearby fields.

“I don’t know why are they doing this to us,” said M o h a m m a d Wa h i d , a n Iraqi. “I don’t have passport or identity docu-

ments. I cannot return and have nowhere to go. I will stay here till the end.”

Aurelie Ponthieu, a Doct o r s Wi t h o u t B o r d e r s adviser, said in a statement that Macedonian authorities used violence against harmless and vulnerable people.

“The shocking scenes t o d ay a r e a r e s u l t o f extreme measures to prevent desperate people flee-

ing violence and war from crossing borders,” the statement said. “But closing borders and using violence is not a solution, it is just provoking a humanitarian crisis on the other side.”

The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, said in a statement that it is “particularly worried about the thousands of vulnerable refugees and migrants, especially women and children, now massed on the Greek side of the border amid deteriorating conditions.”

Greece has seen an unprecedented wave of migrants this year, most fleeing wars in Syria and Afghanistan. More than 160,000 have arrived so far, mostly crossing in inflatable dinghies from the nearby Turkish coast — an influx that has overwhelmed Greek authorities and the country’s small Aegean islands.

F e w, i f a n y, o f t h e migrants want to remain in Greece, which is in the grip of a financial crisis.

Most head straight to the country’s northern border with Macedonia, where they cram onto trains and head north through Serbia and Hungary on their way to the more prosperous EU countries such as Germany and the Netherlands.

Cancer in his brain forces Jimmy Carter to slow down but not to stop work

WB_VOICE - DLY - 27 - 08/22/15

The Carter Center says its public health work helped reduce Guinea worm disease to a mere 126 cases worldwide last year.

“I would like the last Guinea worm to die before I do,” Carter said.

That’s no surprise to Jim Niquette, who spent nine years working on the disease in Nigeria, Ghana and Southern Sudan with the center, and accompanied Carter on three working trips in the field. Niquette founded and now runs WATER (Water in Africa Through Everyday Responsiveness), a nonprofit focused on improving access to clean water.

“He gets his strength from the future world,” said

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T27] | 08/21/15

Niquette. “My guess is, his frame of reference is, as long as he’s on this Earth, he’s supposed to do as much as he possibly can.”

Gerald Rafshoon, who ran Carter’s political advertising campaigns, said a president’s legacy is determined by “what he can accomplish for the future.” Carter has kept that mentality ever since, despite his disappointment at losing to Ronald Reagan in 1980, he said.

White House aides would “joke about asking: ‘What are your priorities?’ and he would give you a list of 6 or 7 things for that day,” Rafshoon said. “But he wanted to accomplish everything. You knew if he was working you

hard, he was working even harder.”

Carter stressed that he will closely follow the recommendations of “the best cancertreaters in the world,” even as he keeps lecturing at Emory University, attending meetings and fundraising for The Carter Center, and enjoying his extended family — four children, 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Dr. Walter Curran, Jr., leader of Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute and part of Carter’s medical team, said with melanoma patients like Carter, doctors aren’t seeking to “cure” cancer but rather to control it and provide a good quality of life.

ATLANTA — Cancer in his brain is forcing Jimmy Carter to slow down, but the 90-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner is insisting on keeping up with some of the humanitarian work that has sustained him since leaving the White House as a oneterm president 35 years ago.

SportS Houston’s Fiers throws no-hitter against Dodgers Associated Press HOUSTON — Mike Fiers pitched the second no-hitter in the major leagues in nine days, leading the Houston Astros to a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.

Fiers (6-9) struck out Justin Turner on his 134th pitch to end it and threw his glove high into the air for his first no-hitter and

fifth in the big leagues this season. Seattle’s Hisashi Iwakuma tossed a no-no on Aug 12.

Cole Hamels with Philadelphia, San Francisco’s Chris Heston and Washington’s Max Scherzer also have thrown nohitters this season.

Acquired by the Astros at the trade deadline to help with their playoff push, Fiers has been stellar in his three starts

for Houston. This was something else, though.

Having never even gotten an out in the ninth inning in his five-year career, Fiers was dominant Friday. He struck out 10 and walked three, retiring the final 21 batters.

Nolan Ryan applauded from a suite as Fiers was mobbed by his teammates after finishing the 11th no-hitter in Astros history.

The closest the Dodgers came to breaking it up was in the sixth inning when Turner’s towering shot to left with two outs hooked foul.

It was the first no-hitter by one Astros pitcher since Darryl Kile blanked the Mets on Sept. 8, 1993. Six Houston pitchers combined to throw one Pat sullivan / associated Press against the Yankees on June Houston’s Mike Fiers pitches on Friday.

‘BIG MIKE IS BACK’

Pineda feeling good after rehab start with RailRiders

By Shane Hennigan staff Writer

MOOSIC — With his team clinging to the lead atop the American League East Division and the hunt for October heating up, Michael Pineda is hoping to make an impact on the Yankees’ postseason chances.

On Friday, he took to the mound

at PNC Field to help the RailRiders with theirs.

The right-hander made his second rehab start in five days, throwing 62 pitches — 45 of which were strikes — in 4⅔ innings. He allowed three hits and one run and struck out three without allowing a walk.

Pineda exited the game against Rochester with the score tied and Austin Romine won it in the 14th inning with a walk-off single, as the RailRiders defeated Rochester, 3-2, and increased their lead atop the International League North to 5 ½

games in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,000.

“I felt pretty good,” Pineda said. “I felt normal. I felt more in the game.

The adrenaline was better. I threw a lot of strikes and my changeup was working good and my slider was working good. I’m very happy. I feel like I’m ready to go.

“It’s me. Big Mike is back.”

Pineda has been on the disabled with a flexor strain in his right forearm since July 30. In 19 games with New York, Pineda is 9-7 with a 3.97 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 118 innings.

He last pitched for the Yankees on July 24 and allowed eight hits and five runs in 5⅔ innings at Minnesota.

In his first rehab start Sunday at Double-A Trenton, Pineda threw three innings and allowed four hits and two runs on 45 pitches.

Right from the start on Friday, though, Pineda was efficient. He started the game by striking out Danny Santana and after a groundout, blew a 94-mph fastball past Reynaldo Rodriguez. Ten of his 13 pitches went for strikes.

Pineda endured his only real

adversity in the second. Kennys Vargas led it off by ripping Pineda’s changeup for an opposite-field double off the left-field wall. Two batters later with Vargas on third, Danny Ortiz hit a looping single into center field to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead. “(Vargas) made a good adjustment for this changeup,” Pineda said. “It was a really good changeup and he got a good double.

took the checkered flag was at Iowa in June 2011.

“It’s frustrating. The monkey on my back is as big as ever,” Andretti said. “I’m definitely not satisfied only winning every few years. We need a few wins every year to be happy.

“I think it’s possible. We’ve been in a position to win a couple this year. A lot of it is circumstantial.

But we’re not going to feel bad for ourselves. We’re going to keep hammering, keep working. It’s going to come, no doubt about it.”

The good news for Andretti is that despite his position in the standings, he is one of 10 drivers mathematically alive to win the championship. He trails leader Juan Pablo Montoya by 87 points.

Next week’s season finale at Sonoma is a double-points race. So

“You’ve got to find the right balance between (turns) 1 and 3. It’s getting the car beneath you for 500 miles, knowing how to drive a 500mile race. There’s a lot of stuff that happens over the course of the race. If you can just put yourself in position to be there in the end and have a shot at winning, that’s the biggest battle.”

Should Marco be able to remain in the championship hunt after Pocono, things could get interesting because his only other career IndyCar victory came at Sonoma in 2006.

Because of the position he is in, Marco feels he can take a few more risks than the drivers ahead of him.

“The mindset for the front guys is to survive. Me, I have a little bit less to lose,” Marco said. “I’m definitely going for it this weekend.

One position counts for us, and the only way to get that is to be super aggressive, but be smart about it.

It’s a 500-mile race. I’ve been in my share of 500-mile races and had decent results. We need to win one now.”

as long as Andretti stays within 104 points of the lead after Sunday’s race at Pocono, he will have a shot at the crown.

However, he feels he must win at Pocono.

“Even with a win, it’s going to take the misfortune of some other drivers to keep me eligible after this race,” Andretti said. “So we’re going at it, for sure.”

There probably would be no better place for Andretti to end his winless drought than Pocono.

His legendary grandfather Mario was a consultant when the 2.5-mile triangular track in Long Pond was being built in the late 1960s and he won a race there in 1986. His father Michael also raced there and won the pole for the 1986 race.

In his two starts at Pocono, Marco has run well. He won the pole in 2013 and led 88 laps, but didn’t quite get the same fuel mileage as eventual winner Scott Dixon and finished 10th.

Then last year, he overcame a pitroad violation to finish ninth.

“I feel very good at this place. I love it,” Marco said.

Marco Andretti is the only driver to complete all 1,947 laps in the first 14 races of the Verizon IndyCar Series season.

He has 11 top-10 finishes in those 14 races.

Based on those statistics, it seems the third generation driver from Nazareth should be ranked higher in the point standings than seventh.

Yet that’s where Andretti is heading into the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway this weekend.

“The consistency is there. We just need to be stronger.” Andretti said. “We’ve only not been in the top 10 just a few races, so I’m happy with that part of it. We’re minimizing the negatives. But we need to make our good days better.

Only a couple of podiums this year.”

Indeed, Andretti’s only has two podium (top-three) finishes and four top-fives.

Also, his winless streak has reached 75 starts. The last time he

All of the action this weekend at Pocono Raceway won’t be reserved for the Verizon IndyCar Series.

In addition to the ABC Supply 500 activities taking place on the 2.5mile triangular track in Long Pond, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) will be holding the Pocono Vintage Festival on the 1.37mile Southeast Road Course, located in the infield.

Founded in 1981, the SVRA is the largest and one of the oldest vintage racing groups in the United States. It hosts a number of racing events at legendary tracks throughout the country.

Eleven different car groups featuring Mini Cooper, Lotus, Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, Formula and GT Cars, will compete in sprint races and enduros.

Also, the 40th annual Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) Convention will be held. Founded in 1975, SAAC is dedicated to the preservation and history of the Shelbys and Cobras built between 1962 and 1970.

There is a SVRA “Shine and Show” Car Show today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Victory Lane Tower Area as well.

The vintage cars practiced and qualified Friday. A second qualifying session is today from 8 to 10:05 a.m.

Races are from 10:20 to 11:50 a.m. and from 1 to 2 p.m. before taking a break to allow IndyCar qualifying.

From 3:15 to 4:30 p.m., a 75-minute SVRA All-Group Enduro will be held.

At 6:30 p.m., The Guess Who will hold a concert in the infield. The Canadian band hit the charts in the late 1960s and early 1970s with songs such as “American Woman,” “These Eyes” and “No Sugar Tonight.”

On Sunday, SVRA races will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

Drivers may have best seat in the house

By Matt Bufano Staff Writer

PLAINS TWP. — The 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham ramps up, exceeding speeds of 30 miles per hour.

Inside the four-door car are Bruce Pozaic, in the driver’s seat with his eyes on the terrain ahead; and Jim Kennedy, in a reverse-positioned back-seat so he can see what is following behind.

What Kennedy sees from that backseat, less than a car-length away: Nine pacing horses and their drivers.

“It’s unbelievable the way they come at you and the speed they can go,” said Kennedy, the starter at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

The sound is deafening and the view is fantastic, as Kennedy’s eyes practically lock with the horses just feet away.

Then as the horses and their drivers gradually catch up, the ‘94 Cadillac guns it in the area of 45 miles per hour to get out of the way as the race officially begins.

Anyone who has recently attended a race at The Downs is sure to have seen the vehicle in question, as it is

Driver Bruce Pozaic stands next to the starting gate after a race at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. the starting gate at the racetrack.

Kennedy, 63, is originally from Michigan and has spent his career training horses.

Kennedy has been a starter the past four years, most recently at a racetrack in Lexington, Kentucky.

In May, he was at his Florida home when he received a call from Vice President of Racing at The Downs Dale Rapson. “(Rapson) called me on a Friday and said, ‘How quick can you get here?’” Kennedy recalled. “And I was here the next morning.”

WB_VOICE - DLY - 30 - 08/22/15

“It’s a great job. I’m glad he called me. I really appreciate the job. It’s a lot of fun.”

Kennedy has not missed a single race since that first night months ago.

Kennedy’s job entails using his judgment in controlling the speed of the vehicle with the throttle from his backseat. He also drops down the wings of the starting gate, attached at each side of the vehicle, to get the horses in line.

Then as the race officially begins, the wings of the starting gate fold up

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T30] | 08/21/15

and Pozaic takes over and steers to the side, following the race to its conclusion.

It’s a job, for each man, that took plenty of training and few days off, as Pozaic said he’s taken one day off in the past five years.

“I was out here practicing for hours and hours,” said Pozaic, who began driving the starting gate car in 1996. “You get used to it, but you could never drop your guard. ... Nine horses just about fit on this racetrack, so you better have your car where it’s supposed to be. Nights when it’s raining hard and that rain is hitting the windshield under these lights — it’s pretty hard to see.”

Pozaic is a native of West Wyoming who grew up grooming and training horses at The Downs.

Among his career highlights are driving the starting gate at The Breeders Crown, as well as when Sebastian K trotted a world record 1:49 at the Plains Township racetrack last year.

“It was exciting to see that,” Pozaic said of Sebastian K’s trot. “That horse is a freak of nature.”

Now with this week’s celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Pocono Downs, Pozaic credits his successful career as a driver to paying very close attention to detail.

“You’ve gotta be focused every time,” he said.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tiger Woods signed up for his first Wyndham Championship knowing a win would definitively keep his season from ending.

He’s halfway there.

Woods shot a 5-under 65 on Friday to share the secondround lead with rookie Tom Hoge.

“I’m only at the halfway point,” Woods said. “Only 36 holes. We’ve still got a long way to go.”

Woods and Hoge were at 11-under 129. Hoge shot a 67.

Steelers O-line aiming for more this season

Browns quarterbacks Josh McCown, left, and Johnny Manziel celebrate after a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills in Cleveland.

Manziel still backup

By Tom Withers Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Josh McCown’s right ring finger isn’t badly injured. Still, the Browns won’t let him raise his index finger just yet.

McCown will not miss any practice time after hurting the finger on his throwing hand during an exhibition loss Thursday night to Buffalo. McCown threw interceptions on Cleveland’s first two drives, raising questions about whether backup Johnny Manziel, who threw a touchdown pass and made a sensational play, was threatening to jump him on the depth chart.

But Browns coach Mike Pettine said Friday that Cleveland’s depth chart at quarterback remains unchanged.

“We feel good about where Johnny is as the No. 2 and we feel good about where Josh is with the No. 1,” Pettine said.

“Our thoughts on the quar-

terback picture are the same this morning as they were going into last night.”

So that ends that. For now.

McCown didn’t duck criticism following the 11-10 loss, calling his second game with the Browns “not good” and “not the standard I want to play at.” But the Browns still believe the likable 12-year veteran is their best current option even though Pettine has yet to name his starter for the Sept. 13 season opener against the New York Jets.

Pettine doesn’t see the need to put labels on his QBs. “I’m not into guaranteeing or announcing a game one starter,” he said. “That, to me, comes down the road.”

The Browns have more than a week to get ready and healthy for their exhibition at Tampa Bay. It will be a homecoming of sorts for McCown, who went 1-10 last season as the Buccaneers’ starter. He’s hoping his game can solidify his standing with his Cleveland team-

mates and perhaps quiet a suddenly renewed drumbeat of support for Manziel.

The former Heisman Trophy winner showed more signs of improvement during his half against Buffalo’s backups. Manziel finished 10 of 18 for 118 yards, but started 9 of 11, led the Browns on a 96-yard touchdown drive and flashed some of that old Johnny Football magic by scrambling to his left, throwing against his body and completing a 37-yard pass.

Manziel’s outing wasn’t perfect, but it continued the positive momentum that began after he checked out of rehab facility during the offseason. The Browns are encouraged by his progress.

“Overall I think he made strides, was still calm in the pocket, got flushed probably more than we wanted him to get flushed, but he still made some plays on the move with his feet,” Pettine said.

Pettine understands that there’s huge interest in Man-

ziel, but he’s not going to buckle to any outside pressures.

“We have a plan for our quarterback room, just like we have a plan for all of our other positions, and we’re going to stick to it,” he said.

On his TD pass, Manziel stepped forward in the pocket and put perfect touch on a 21-yard scoring toss to Shane Wynn, an undrafted free agent wide receiver who grew up in Cleveland.

This is the new Manziel: poised, confident, deliberate.

He can still improvise but is starting to show he can make some throws.

“The way he escapes and runs around and throws the ball downfield, it’s like watching somebody in the backyard in the Turkey Bowl and that’s why he’s always had a big fan base because of how he plays the game,” said Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas.

“He’s learning to pick and choose his times to do that instead of majoring in that.”

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T32] | 08/21/15

LATROBE — The Pittsburgh Steelers boasted the NFL’s second-ranked offense in 2014. Having the same five guys frequently lining up in front for Ben Roethlisberger helped.

Now a unit currently regarded as one of the best doesn’t want to settle. The group intends to put last season’s success in the past, focusing instead on even higher goals this fall.

“We just have to keep working,” center Maurkice Pouncey said. “We can’t have the mindset that last year was good enough. We have to keep grinding with it and keep pushing forward.

Pouncey said the group has a lot of mistakes to fix.

The pedigree is high on the offensive line. Pouncey, a first-round pick in 2010, is a two-time All-Pro, four-time Pro Bowler and considered one of the best centers in the league. David DeCastro, the team’s 2012 first-round pick, is on the cusp of breaking out at right guard.

Kelvin Beachum, a 6-foot-3 former seventh-round pick, is emerging as one of the better left tackles in the NFL, while right tackle Marcus Gilbert was a 2011 secondround selection. Right guard Ramon Foster, the oldest on the line at 29, is a former undrafted free agent who has started 71 games in six seasons.

The young group jelled last year under Hall of Famer Mike Munchak, back for his second season as offensive line coach, but they’re just as tight off the field.

“You push me, you’re going to see all four of those other guys coming over and getting you,” Pouncey said.

“We’re pretty close.”

The offensive line allowed only 33 sacks in 2014, down from 42 in 2014. The combination of better protection and a focus on getting rid of the ball helped Roethlisberger tie for the NFL lead in yards passing.

The result? Points by the bunches. The Steelers aver-

aged 31.2 points while going 8-2 down the stretch to capture the team’s first AFC North championship since 2010.

“You see the difference when he’s in the game,” Pouncey said. “He’s an excellent quarterback and he knows how to run the offense the right way.”

The offensive line was healthy in 2014, too, as three of the five started all 16 regular-season games. It was a long way from the previous two years when Pouncey tore his ACL during the 2013 season-opener and DeCastro and Gilbert both missed significant time in 2012.

“Hopefully, we stay blessed without any injuries again,” Pouncey said. “We’re excited about seeing how things get going.”

The five linemen want to top being the second-ranked offense in the league.

“I think we can be really good, but just saying things never works,” Pouncey said.

“We have the ability and the players to do it.”

Golson out after surgery Rookie cornerback Senquez Golson underwent shoulder surgery on Friday and is out indefinitely.

The second-round pick out of Mississippi has been on the physically unable to perform list since training camp began nearly four weeks ago.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Friday he’s not certain what path the Steelers will follow when Golson begins rehabilitation.

Golson was a full participant in organized training activities and minicamp during the spring but showed up to camp at Saint Vincent College with the shoulder issue.

Tomlin praised Golson’s effort but said the shoulder had gotten to the point where it was time to get it fixed.

Pittsburgh took Golson with the 56th overall pick in the draft following the retirement of veteran Ike Taylor.

The Steelers host Green Bay in a preseason game on Sunday.

railriders: Top Rochester in extra innings from PAge 28

“I’m thinking about my work and what I want to work. Just do my job and throw my pitches and stay in the game.”

Indeed, Pineda stayed in the game, needing just eight pitches to get through the third and 10 in the fourth.

Pineda’s final strikeout came to start the fifth when he got Doug Bernier swinging on an 85-mph slider. Pineda’s night concluded with a groundout before Eric Fryer hit a soft single into shallow right field just out of the outstretched glove of diving second baseman Rob Refsnyder. “(The arm) feels normal,” Pineda said. “For me, it’s frustrating because I know I’m a starter in the rotation and I can help my team.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Matt Ryan was sharp for the second straight preseason game, leading Atlanta to touchdowns in both of his offensive series in the Falcons’ 30-22 loss to the New York Jets on Friday night.

Ryan finished 4 of 5 for 75 yards, including a 60-yard completion to fullback Collin Mooney, and a 2-yard touchdown toss to Leonard Hankerson. Rookie Terron Ward

also had a 4-yard TD run for the Falcons (1-1), who carved up the Jets’ starting defense.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets’ offensive starters were sluggish until facing Falcons backups midway through the second quarter. New York (1-1) was sparked by the defense on a safety by first-round pick Leonard Williams.

Chris Ivory followed less than two minutes later with a 33-yard TD run that cut New York’s deficit to 14-10.

The RailRiders battled right back in the home half of the inning and with two outs, Gary Sanchez hit a chopper up the middle that deflected off the glove of Beresford and dribbled into center to score Refsnyder from second and tie the game and set up extra innings.

The RailRiders finally ended it in the 14th. Taylor Dugas hit a one-out single to right.

Then on a full count, Dugas broke for second and Cole Figueroa hit bouncer through the hole into left, allowing Dugas to take third. After Gregorio Petit grounded out, Romine hit a broken-bat single past a diving Santana into center field for their fifth walk-off win of the season and third in the last 11 days.

The RailRiders tied the game in the third. Petit led it off with a single to right and after Jose Berrios — Minnesota’s top pitching prospect — froze Kyle Roller with a fastball, Ben Gamel hit a sharp grounder through the hole into right field, advancing a hustling Petit to third.

Rob Refsnyder then drove Berrios’ full-count pitch to deep left but Avery tracked it down at the warning. It was still good enough for a sacrifice fly, as Petit easily trotted home to even the game, 1-1.

by Kaden Peifer’s three-run home run that made it 4-0.

Pennsylvania had nine hits in the inning, the first seven reached base and five straight had hits at one point. Chayton Krauss, Jake Cubbler and Adam Cramer all were 2 for 2 in the inning.

Carrasco Ks 11, Indians top Yanks Associated Press

NEW YORK — Carlos Carrasco struck out 11, Carlos Santana homered and the Cleveland Indians stopped the New York Yankees once again, beating the AL East leaders 7-3.

The last-place Indians improved to 4-1 against New York this year. A night after a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium, Cleveland remained the only sub-.500 team in the majors with a winning record on the road.

Carrasco (12-9) outpitched Masahiro Tanaka (9-6), giving up one run and five hits in 6 2-3 innings. Carrasco has permitted just six runs in his last five starts. Soon after he left, the Yankees got close.

Alex Rodriguez bounced an RBI single in the eighth off Zach McAllister that made it 4-2. With two outs, All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis let an easy grounder roll between his legs for an error that produced another run.

Closer Cody Allen retired Stephen Drew on a long fly with the bases loaded to end the inning, protecting a 4-3 lead.

Allen finished for his 25th save in 28 chances. On Friday night, he escaped his own ninth-inning jam for a save.

RED SOX 7, ROYALS 2: At Boston, Johnny Cueto had his worst start since coming to Kansas City just before the trading deadline.

Cueto (2-2) had allowed just six runs in four previous starts for the Royals, who have now lost two straight. He allowed six earned runs and 13 hits, striking out three before leaving after six innings. The Royals also committed two errors, leading to another run.

Henry Owens made the longest start of his short career, pitching eight innings of four-hit ball. Blake Swihart had four hits and Mookie Betts three for the Red Sox, who tied a season high with their fourth win in a row.

RANGERS 2, TIGERS 0: At Detroit, Colby Lewis pitched seven strong innings.

Lewis (14-5) allowed six hits and a walk, but the Rangers defense turned three double plays and threw out another runner at the plate. Shawn Tolleson pitched the ninth for his 24th save, despite allowing Miguel Cabrera’s third double of the game.

TWINS 4, ORIOLES 3: At Baltimore, Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run single in the eighth inning to cap a comeback against All-Star reliever Darren O’Day and carry the Twins past the Orioles Baltimore was 51-1 when leading after seven innings, and O’Day (5-2) entered with a 1.15 ERA and a run of 11 straight scoreless appearances.

Phillies’ Jerad Eickhoff delivers a pitch in the first inning on Friday in Miami.

Phils’ Eickhoff strong in debut

Associated Press MIAMI — Jerad Eickhoff pitched six scoreless innings and drove in two runs in his major league debut to help the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday night.

Ryan Howard had three doubles and drove in two runs and Odubel Herrera had two hits and scored twice for the Phillies.

Philadelphia broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning scoring four runs on four hits off of Kendry Flores (1-2), who was making his first career start. Herrera’s single and Freddy Galvis’s sacrifice fly put the Phillies on top 2-0 before Eickhoff’s two-run single.

Eickhoff (1-0) is a 25-year old right-hander, who was one of six players acquired from Texas in the Cole Hamels trade on July 31. He allowed five hits and walked one while striking out five. He threw 52 of his 75 pitches for strikes.

GIANTS 6, PIRATES 4: At Pittsburgh, Madison Bumgarner homered in his second straight start and struck out six in 6 ⅓ innings to lift the San Francisco Giants to a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bumgarner crushed a Jeff Locke (6-8) fastball 418-feet over the wall in left field in the second inning, a two-run shot that gave the Giants an early four-run lead and all the cushion Bumgarner would need on the mound.

NATIONALS: Washington called up shortstop Trea Turner from Triple-A Syracuse and placed first baseman/ outfielder Tyler Moore on the 15-day disabled list with a left ankle sprain.

Turner, a highly touted 22-year-old prospect, is batting .322 with eight home runs and 54 RBIs in 116 games between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

GIANTS: San Francisco sent pitcher Chris Heston to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, hoping to give him a small break before the stretch drive.

The 27-year-old Heston is 11-7 with a 3.34 ERA this year and threw a no-hitter against the New York Mets on June 9. Heston, however, has had trouble going deep into games in recent weeks, making it past the fifth inning once in four starts this month.

METS: Matt Harvey is going to skip his next scheduled start, a planned move in order to help limit the right-hander’s innings in his first season back from Tommy John surgery.

DIAMONDBACKS 6, REDS 3: At Cincinnati, Rubby De La Rosa allowed two runs in seven innings and A.J. Pollock homered while enjoying his second consecutive four-hit game to help the Arizona Diamondbacks send the Cincinnati Reds to their seventh straight loss.

Pollock scored three runs and Yasmany Tomas added his own solo shot for the Diamondbacks.

De La Rosa (11-5) improved to 5-0 with a 2.54 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. He allowed seven hits with one walk, six strikeouts and a wild pitch.

CUBS 5, BRAVES 3: At Chicago, Kris Bryant and Miguel Montero had consecutive RBI doubles in the sixth as the Chicago Cubs extended Shelby Miller’s winless skid to 16 games with a victory over the Atlanta Braves.

Jason Motte (8-1) earned the win in relief, starting a string of four innings during which Cubs relievers didn’t allow a hit until pinch-hitter Nick Swisher doubled with one out in the ninth off closer Hector Rondon.

Rondon recovered to earn his 22nd save.

Hamlin takes pole position at Bristol

By Jenna Fryer Associated Press

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin set a track record in leading a Toyota sweep of the first two rows in qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Hamlin turned a lap Friday at 131.407 mph to break the mark of 131.362 mph set last August

by Kevin Harvick.

“It looks like I really got the car working the way I needed to there in that final practice,” Hamlin said.

It was Hamlin’s 22nd career Sprint Cup pole and continued a recent dominant trend by Joe Gibbs Racing. JGR drivers have won five of the last six Sprint Cup Series poles, and Hamlin also won the pole for Friday night’s Xfinity Series race.

JGR teammate Kyle Busch qualified second and was followed by JGR driver Carl Edwards. David Ragan, from Michael Waltrip Racing, was fourth to give Toyota the top four starting spots tonight.

It was a huge lift for Ragan, who learned Wednesday he needs to find a new job for next year because MWR is closing at the end of the season. Ragan joined MWR in May as the replacement driver for Brian Vickers, who is sidelined with

Denny Hamlin drives down the backstretch during his qualifying attempt on Friday. blood clots.

“I really thought we had a shot at the pole and just didn’t have enough speed that second round,” Ragan said. “Anytime you can start in the top five, that’s a great starting spot. I feel like we’ve got a good race car.

Yeah, we’re pretty happy with that starting spot, but I’ll always wonder if we didn’t have to run so many laps that second round if we would’ve had a shot at the pole.”

Joey Logano was the highestqualifying non-Toyota driver at

fifth in a Ford. He was followed

by Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski.

Kevin Harvick was the highest-qualifying Chevrolet at seventh.

Meanwhile, Matt Kenseth, winner of the April race at Bristol and the fourth JGR driver, qualified 13th.

JGR has been the hottest team in NASCAR all summer and leads the Sprint Cup Series with nine victories — including six wins in the last eight races.

All four JGR drivers have won

this season.

“It’s just a great day,” said Hamlin. “Our car’s had speed in it all day and it looks like I really got the car working the way I needed it to there in the final practice.”

Hendrick Motorsports had a rough day in qualifying as Jimmie Johnson was the highest driver at 10th. Kasey Kahne was 19th, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 20th and five-time Bristol winner Jeff Gordon will start his final appearance at the track from 24th.

SPORTS IN BRIEF Quebec City advances expansion bid A Quebec City group advanced to the third and what’s expected to be final stage of the NHL’s expansion bidding process.

Montreal-based communications giant Quebecor announced the development on its Twitter account on Friday.

A person familiar with the process told The Associated Press that the third stage involves the NHL reviewing the company’s business plan and revenue projections. If approved, the league would be in a position to award an expansion franchise as early as next month, the person added.

A Las Vegas group is also bidding for an expansion team, though it was not immediately clear if it has advanced to the next stage of the process.

Rousey facing former boxer in next fight UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has announced her next fight will be against the world’s former No. 1-rated female boxer, Holly Holm, in Las Vegas on Jan. 2.

Holm, a 33-year-old Albuquerque boxer turned mixed martial arts fighter, signed with UFC last year after months of negotiations.

Rousey called Holm the sport’s “most decorated striker” and said the fight will be her “biggest challenge to date.”

Rousey needed only 34 seconds to beat her last opponent, Bethe Correia, earlier this month.

Djokovic and Williams reach semifinal round Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams reached the Western and Southern semifinals in Cincinnati, Ohio, moving the tournament’s top seeds a step closer to a title that’s been tough for them to win.

Djokovic beat fifth-seeded Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 6-1 on Friday, knocking off the player who beat him for the French Open title. Williams followed on center court, struggled with her serve, and needed a second-set rally to beat Ana Ivanovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Djokovic has never won at Cincinnati, the only one of the nine ATP Masters events that has eluded him.

Williams won the tournament for the first time on her sixth try last year.

Diagne will not enroll at Syracuse this year Syracuse says forwardcenter Moustapha Diagne has decided to enroll in a two-year college even though he signed a national letter of intent with Syracuse last November.

The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Diagne was expected to provide some depth after averaging 14.7 points and 12 rebounds per game last year for Pope John XXIII High School in New Jersey.

Starting center Dajuan Coleman, who missed all of last season after major knee surgery, is ready to return.

The only other center on the roster is 6-9 junior Chinonso Obokoh, who appeared in only 13 games last season.

Sunshine and low humidity stays all weekend. Today, highs top out a degree or two above average at 80. An area of high pressure keeps the skies clear tonight as the temperature drops to 58. On Sunday, we nudge the high to the mid 80s, and with high pressure nearby, sunshine continues. Then, you’ll notice more clouds in the sky on Monday, enough to call the day partly sunny.

The clouds thicken even more in the evening as a cold front crosses over us with some isolated thunderstorms. We’ll also turn more humid. Ahead of the cold front on Monday, we’ll net a high in the mid 80s, again. Behind the front on Tuesday, we sail down to 80 for our high on Tuesday. From Tuesday through Friday, enjoy the sunshine and seasonal highs near 80. We’ll also keep the humidity away those days and have lows in the mid 50s.

Iraq cleric says ‘battle’ for reforms must continue BAGHDAD — Iraq’s top Shiite cleric urged the government on Friday to press ahead with reforms and fighting corruption, but cautioned against doing so at the expense of the fight against the Islamic State group, which is tenaciously holding on to large swaths of Iraqi territory.

In a sermon delivered by a representative, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani urged the government to continue the reforms and swiftly go after the “big thieves of public funds.”

Hours after the sermon in the holy city of Karbala, thousands rallied in Baghdad and a string of other cities to press demands for reforms, better services and an end to corruption.

The rallies were the latest in a series of peaceful gatherings over the past month demanding change.

Baghdad’s rally attracted up to 10,000, many waving Iraqi flags and chanting the national anthem. The rallies in the southern city of Basra, in Karbala and Najaf, also south of the Iraqi capital, were smaller.

IS systematically destroying heritage sites

By Karin Laub and Albert Aji Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Islamic State extremists in Syria and Iraq are engaged in the “most brutal, systematic” destruction of ancient sites since World War II, the head of the U.N. cultural agency said Friday — a stark warning that came hours after militants demolished a 1,500-year-old monastery in central Syria.

The world’s only recourse is to try to prevent the sale of looted artifacts, thus cutting off a lucrative stream of income for the militants, UNESCO chief Irina Bokova told The Associated Press.

A series of recent attacks has

stoked fears that IS is accelerating its campaign to demolish and loot heritage sites. On Friday, witnesses said the militants bulldozed St. Elian Monastery in central Syria. Days earlier, IS beheaded an 81-year-old antiquities scholar who had dedicated his life to overseeing the ruins of Palmyra in Syria, one of the Middle East’s most spectacular archaeological sites.

Since capturing about a third of Syria and Iraq last year, IS fighters have destroyed mosques, churches and archaeological sites, causing extensive damage to the ancient cities of Nimrud, Hatra and Dura Europos in Iraq. In May, they seized Palmyra, the Roman-era city on the

edge of a modern town of the same name.

“We haven’t seen something similar since the Second World War,” Bokova said of the scope of the IS campaign against ancient sites. “I think this is the biggest attempt, the most brutal systematic destruction of world heritage.”

Bokova said recent images of archaeological sites under IS control in Iraq and Syria show signs of widespread illegal digging and looting. “If you look at the maps, the photos, the satellite pictures of it, you will not recognize one place,” she said. “It is just hundreds of holes all around them.”

There is very little the world can

do to stop the extremists from inflicting more damage, she said, but stopping the trafficking in artifacts must be a priority.

Bokova spoke hours after IS posted photos on social media showing bulldozers destroying the St. Elian Monastery near the town of Qaryatain in central Syria. The group had captured the town in early August.

A Qaryatain resident who recently fled to Damascus said militants leveled the shrine and removed church bells. The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear his relatives still in Qaryatain might be har med, called on the United Nations to protect Christians and Christian sites.

Danny strengthens into Category 3 hurricane MIAMI — Hurricane Danny has strengthened into a Category 3 storm as it moves across the Atlantic far from land.

The hurricane’s maximum sustained winds Friday had increased to near 115 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says the hurricane is not expected to intensify, and a weakening trend is forecast to begin later Friday.

The hurricane is centered about 900 miles east of the Leeward Islands.

Hurricane Danny doesn’t currently pose a threat to land but the hurricane center says those in the Leeward Islands should monitor its progress.

Gov.: Closing NYC plazas could be ‘problematic’ NEW YORK — Governor Andrew Cuomo is casting some doubt on a potential proposal to close Times Squares’ pedestrian plazas.

Closing the plazas is one option being considered by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner William Bratton as means to rid the popular tourist attraction of topless women and costumed characters who aggressively panhandle.

Cuomo said Friday in a TV interview that idea “would be problematic for a lot of people.”

The painted ladies’ presence has become a tabloid sensation in recent weeks.

De Blasio stressed Friday that there are numerous options being considered by a task force he convened to study the problem.

Gene Simmons not suspect in home search LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police say a task force investigating Internet crimes against children served a search warrant at thehomeof KissrockerGene Simmons, but neither Simmons nor anyone in his family is suspected in the case.

Lt. John Jenal says the warrant was served Thursday at the Simmons home in Benedict Canyon near Beverly Hills.

Jenal says the detectives involved want to emphasize that Simmons and his family were “extremely cooperative” and none of them are suspected of a crime. Police would give no further comment on the investigation.

HISTORIC WEEK

First female graduates of Ranger School earn elite tab

By Robert Burns AP National Security Writer

FORT BENNING, Ga. — The first female soldiers to complete the Army’s rigorous Ranger School pinned on their black-and-gold Ranger tab at a raucous graduation ceremony Friday, capping their historymaking week and putting a spotlight on the debate over women in combat.

With family members, friends, an unusually large media contingent and an all-star cast of former Rangers looking on, First Lt. Shaye Haver of Copperas Cove, Texas, and Capt. Kristen Griest of Orange, Connecticut, graduated alongside 94 male soldiers at a ceremony on the shore of “Victory Pond.”

The women drew national attention for finishing the nine-week program designed to test young soldiers’ leadership abilities as the Pentagon approaches decisions on opening all combat positions to women who meet military standards.

Their success casts new attention on the obstacles that remain to women who aspire to join all-male combat

units, including the 75th Ranger Regiment. Although Haver and Griest are now Ranger-qualified, no women are eligible for the elite regiment, although officials say it is among special operations units likely to be opened to women eventually.

Griest, 26, is a military police officer and has served one tour in Afghanistan. Haver, 25, is a pilot of Apache helicopters. Both are graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Of 19 women who began the Ranger course, Haver and Griest are the only two to finish so far; one is repeating a prior phase of training in hopes of graduating soon.

Addressing the graduates, Maj. Gen. Scott Miller said no one should doubt that all 96 graduates met Ranger standards, regardless of their sex, and he congratulated them on proving their mettle.

“You’ll leave Victory Pond today with a small piece of cloth on your shoulder, but more importantly you carry the title of Ranger from here on out,” he said. Miller, who gained his Ranger tab 30 years ago this month, is commander of all Army infantry and

armor training and education, including the Ranger School.

The Army opened Ranger School to women for the first time this year as service leaders weighed opening more combat jobs to women. How far the military is willing to go toward ending restrictions on women will be evident soon.

Gen. Mark Milley, the Army’s new chief of staff who flew to Benning to attend the graduation ceremony, told The Associated Press he is proud of all the Rangers who completed the course and appreciates the importance of the pioneering performance of Haver and Griest.

“It’s a really big deal” for them and for the Army, he said.

Milley said he has not decided whether to recommend that all Army positions be opened to women. The only areas not already open to women are infantry, armor, certain artillery positions and the special operations forces, including the Ranger regiment.

Yet “I believe the Army can adapt,” he said. “It has and will continue to adapt.”

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday declared his front-line troops in a “quasistate of war” and ordered them to prepare for battle a day after the most serious confrontation between the rivals in years.

South Korea’s military on Thursday fired dozens of artillery rounds across the border in response to what Seoul said were North Korean artillery strikes meant to back up a threat to attack loudspeakers broadcasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda.

The spike in tensions prompted the U.S. and South Korea to briefly halt an annual military exercise that began this week, U.S. defense officials said Friday. North Korea had criticized the drills, calling them a preparation for invasion, although the U.S. and South Korea insist they are defensive in nature.

The North’s declaration Friday is similar to its other warlike rhetoric in recent years, including repeated threats to reduce Seoul to a “sea of fire,” and the huge numbers of soldiers and military equipment already stationed along the border mean the area is always essentially in a “quasi-state of war.”Still,theNorth’sapparent willingness to test Seoul with military strikes and its recent warningof furtheractionraise worries because South Korea has vowed to hit back with overwhelming strength should North Korea attack again.

Pyongyang says it did not fire anything at the South, a claim Seoul dismissed as nonsense.

Kim Jong Un ordered his troops to “enter a wartime state” and be fully ready for any military operations starting Friday evening, according to a report in Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency.

10 years after Hurricane Katrina, ‘New’ New Orleans leaves many behind

By Rebecca Santana Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Talking about New Orleans a decade after Hurricane Katrina, people here often reach for the Biblical, describing an economic and cultural resurrection.

Helped by billions in recovery money, buoyed by volunteers and driven by the grit of its own citizens, the city is enjoying a resurgence. Reforms from schools to policing to community engagement and water management are in progress, buttressing people against the next monster storm.

But in the same breath, people also point to the many left behind. This ‘New’ New Orleans is whiter and more expensive, and blacks still suffer society’s ills disproportionately, especially in the chronically neglected Lower 9th Ward, a bastion of black home ownership before the floodwalls failed.

“A lot of folks say things are so much better, the economy is so

improved, and other people are going to say it is so much worse,” said Allison Plyer at The Data Center, a think tank in the city. “And both those realities are true.”

Katrina swamped 80 percent of New Orleans with polluted water up to 20 feet deep. More than 1,500 from Louisiana died, the National Hurricane Center reported a year later. Hospitals and police were overwhelmed. The economy shut down. Survivors felt abandoned. Many evacuees didn’t return.

It seemed like a death blow for a city already suffering from crime, racism, poverty, corruption and neglect. New Orleans is a national treasure, where African-American, French, Spanish and Caribbean traditions had mixed for nearly three centuries. Could the people who create its unique forms of music, food and fun survive such devastation? Could they thrive?

New owner for Weinman’s

Honda air bag failures probed DETROIT — U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating reports that air bags on some older Honda Accords may not inflate in a crash.

The probe by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers about 384,000 cars from the 2008 model year.

The agency says in documents posted Friday that it received 19 consumer complaints that the air bag control computer failed in the Accord, which then was Honda’s top-selling model.

Honda said it is cooperating with the investigation.

Agency won’t probe Toyota DETROIT — U.S. safety regulators have rejected an engineer’s request to investigate low-speed unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus cars.

The petition was the latest in a string of claims dating to 2009 that Toyota vehicles can accelerate on their own.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in documents posted Friday, said that three crashes cited in the engineer’s request are consistent with the driver mistakenly hitting the gas pedal instead of the brake. The agency also says the issue was examined carefully in two previous government studies.

Wal-Mart commits $25M for aid NEW ORLEANS — With the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaching, Wal-Mart is announcing a $25 million, five-year commitment to support disaster recovery efforts around the world.

The corporation and its charitable foundation announced the plans Friday in New Orleans, part of more than a week’s worth of observances in the city and along the Gulf Coast.

Wal-Mart says in a news release that the commitment includes an initial $500,000 in grants to nonprofits in the Gulf Coast region.

DUNMORE — The recently-closed Weinman’s, a fixture at Dunmore Corners for the better part of a century, has a new owner.

Robert and Karen Weinman sold the building to 202-204 East Drinker LLC for $154,000, marking the end of an era, court records show.

Karl Wegforth, president of Dunmore Historical Society, said Weinman’s clothing store was already established at the corners when he arrived in 1961.

Other observers, such as Kathy Pachuk, owner of Kathy Karen Children’s Shop, and Dunmore Borough Councilman Timothy Burke recalled the thirdgeneration business being there since they were children.

The Times-Tribune was unable to reach the Weinmans or immediately determine any new plans for the building.

In emerging markets worldwide, currencies are plunging over fears that developing economies are on the verge of a crippling fall. The damage has spilled across oceans.

The damage has spilled across oceans, with the turmoil jolting investors in New York, Tokyo and Europe. Investors there worry that China and other major emerging e c o n o mi e s wi l l re du c e t h e i r imports. They also fear a trade-disrupting currency war as some countries desperately lower their currencies’ value to gain a competitive edge. A lower-priced currency makes a country’s goods cheaper for foreigners.

For all the markets’ jitters, many economists say they remain confident that the U.S. economy is resilient enough to withstand a slowdown in the developing world. And Europe’s economy appears to be emerging from its long slump.

Even so, the trouble in emerging markets is a surprising and unset-

tling reversal.

“It’s remarkable just how things turned around so quickly,” says Neil Shearing, an economist at Capital Economics and a former British Treasury official.

Consider Peru. Three years ago, its capital, Lima, was chosen to host an International Monetary Fund meeting of global finance officials in what was seen as a celebration of Latin America’s arrival in the economic big leagues.

But with the event six weeks away, Latin America’s outlook has descended from boom to gloom.

Per u’s economy has steadily slowed, and its currency, the nuevo sol, has plunged 2.5 percent against the U.S. dollar in the past month.

And Peru boasts one of the region’s healthiest economies. Brazil’s economy is expected to shrink this year and next. Its currency, the real, is down 7 percent the past month and more than 30 percent the past two years. The Mexican peso closed Friday at a record low against the dollar.

NEW YORK (AP) — A barrel of U.S. crude oil fell below $40 per barrel for the first time since the end of the global economic crisis.

Friday’s fall, to $39.86, was just the latest indicator of a vast shift in the energy landscape over the past year. U.S. Oil bounced back a bit to close down 87 cents at $40.45, the lowest close since March 3, 2009.

The price of oil has fallen for eight consecutive weeks, the longest streak since 1986.

Oil is down 34 percent from its high of $61.43 this year, and 62 percent from its high of $107.26 last year.

A boom in production has outpaced growth in global oil demand. The U.S. is churning out oil at a rate not seen in decades. Meanwhile, even with sharply lower prices, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations haven’t cut production.

Production in the U.S. averaged 9.4 million barrels in the four weeks ending Aug. 14, up nearly 11 percent from a year ago, according to data released this week by the Energy Department. U.S. oil held in storage has reached levels not seen in at least 80 years. Meanwhile, OPEC production averaged 31.5 million barrels a day in July, a three-year high.

Adding to the downward pressure on oil prices is a steady drumbeat of economic data out of China suggesting that the world’s second largest economy is slowing. Data released Friday showed a further contraction in China’s manufacturing sector and it sent ripples through global stock markets.

The world’s biggest oil producers are getting hit by falling prices and pessimism about China and other economies that have not recovered from the recession like the U.S. has.

Almost all oil companies, from Exxon Mobil to BP PLC, have cut spending on exploration in anticipation of a prolonged period of lower prices.

Over the past 12 months, Chevron shares have lost nearly 40 percent, while Exxon shares are down 26 percent.

Cheaters’ online tracks may be hard to cover Experts say deleted information never actually goes away

By Bree fOWLer ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The Ashley Madison hack is a big reminder to all Web users: If you submit private data online, chances are it will never fully be deleted.

The hackers, who stole the data about a month ago and then posted it online this week, claimed in a statement that part of the reason for the theft was Ashley Madison’s fraudulent promise to fully delete users’ information if they paid the company a $19 fee.

The website — whose slogan is “Life is short. Have an affair” — is marketed to people looking for extramarital relationships. It purports to have about 39 million members.

The hackers said the company failed to delete the information, even though it collected the fees. Torontobased Avid Life Media Inc., Ashley Madison’s parent company, hasn’t commented on the hackers’ accusation. A company spokesman didn’t respond to multiple emails seeking comment.

It’s virtually impossible to exist in modern society without putting at least some personal information online.

US stocks tumble on global slowdown fears

By MATTHeW CrAfT ANd BerNArd CONdON AP BUSINESS WRITERS

NEW YORK (AP) — Growing concerns about a slowdown in China shook markets around the world on Friday, driving the U.S. stock market to its biggest drop in nearly four years.

The rout started in Asia and quickly spread to Europe, battering major markets in Germany and France. In the U.S., the selling started early and never let up.

Investors ditched beaten-down oil companies, as well as Netflix,

Apple and other technology darlings. Oil plunged below $40 for the first time since the financial crisis, and government bonds rallied as investors raced into hiding spots.

“Investors are wondering if growth isn’t coming from the U.S. or China, where is it going to come from?” said Tim Courtney, CIO of Exencial Wealth Advisors.

“This is about growth.”

By the time it was over, the Standard and Poor’s 500 index had lost 5.8 percent for the week, its worst weekly slump since 2011.

That leaves the main benchmark for U.S. investments 7.7 percent below its all-time high — within shooting range of what traders call a “correction,” a 10 percent drop from a peak.

Markets began falling last week after China announced a surprise devaluation of its currency, the yuan. Investors have interpreted China’s move as a sign that flagging growth in world’s secondlargest economy could be worse than government reports suggest.

On Friday, they got more bad news: A private survey showed

another drop in manufacturing on the mainland.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 64.84 points, or 3.2 percent, to close at 1,970.89.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 530.94 points, or 3.1 percent, to 16,459.75. That’s 10 percent off its high, a correction.

The Nasdaq slid 171.45 points, or 3.5 percent, to 4,706.04.

“Concer ns about slowing growth in China are certainly valid,” said Jeremy Zirin, head of investment strate g y at UBS Wealth Management. “But there

doesn’t seem to be any signal that the weakness abroad is slipping into the U.S. economy.”

Investors pointed to other reasons behind the recent sell-off, such as falling prices for oil and other commodities as well as the relatively high prices investors pay for U.S. stocks compared with corporate earnings.

“All of this is coming at a time when we haven’t had a correction” in many years, Zirin said.

The last time the market slipped into a correction was in October 2011.

Katrina: New Orleans has recovered nearly 80 percent of pre-storm population From page a1 Signs of renaissance abound: The city has recovered nearly 80 percent of its pre-storm population.

Most public schools are being run as private charters, and the graduation rate has jumped, although criticism abounds. The old Charity Hospital, a first and last resort for the uninsured, has been replaced by a gleaming new University Medical Center.

Louis Armstrong Airport, where thousands tried to flee in August 2005, now handles more passengers than before Katrina. There are more restaurants. New businesses open 64 percent faster than the national average. Sales revenue this year is up.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought a French Quarter mansion and built new housing, part of a wave of up to 40,000 new residents, Tulane professor Richard Campanella estimates. Countless “YURPS” (young urban renewal professionals) and millennials followed the recovery and insurance money to what seemed like a “kind of undiscovered bohemia,” he said.

At Launch Pad, a co-working space meant to foster community,

co-founder Chris Schultz said the storm “catalyzed people who stuck around to really care about the city.”

“The city has changed and ultimately we needed to change,” said New Orleans native Brooke Boudreaux, operating manager at the iconic Circle Food grocery near Treme, a neighborhood that calls itself “the Birthplace of Jazz.”

Once catering almost exclusively to black customers, the flooded grocery finally reopened last year, responding to an influx of Hispanics and whites by adding tamales and organic produce to New Orleans staples like Camellia red beans.

The Industrial Canal cleaves the Lower 9th Ward apart from all this.

Eighty-year-old Oralee Fields calls it “the wilderness” as she looks out from her porch in frustration at the vegetation overtaking her street. “I had nice neighbors. We all grew up together, children walking home together from school.”

Massive piles of garbage and homes ruined by toxic mold are gone. What remains in the Lower 9th is an emptiness. Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” houses, communi-

Tourists in cars and horse drawn buggies pass the Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter of New Orleans last week. ty gardens and a new $20.5 million community center attest to hardfought progress. But only one school has reopened, and few stores.

Generations of home ownership worked against the Lower 9th, because many lacked the flood insurance mortgage lenders require, said Sierra Club activist Darryl Malek-Wiley. Reconstruction money matched pre-Katrina market values that didn’t cover rebuilding. A protracted debate over whether to abandon the Lower 9th as livable space slowed recovery.

The city’s black population is down from two-thirds before Katrina to about 60 percent. Those who remain earn half the income of white households. Thirty-nine percent of children remain in poverty.

“When Katrina hit, you got to see the real New Orleans, people who were trapped at the Superdome and the Convention Center — 99 percent poor, black. We don’t have anyone who seems to know how to fix that problem,” said Wayne Baquet, who owns Lil Dizzy’s Cafe in Treme.

With cheap rentals largely

destroyed, rents skyrocketed by 43 percent. Public housing projects were demolished and replaced with lower-density housing. Thousands of families remain on a waiting list for subsidized housing. Many workers face longer commutes.

“The quality of the housing is definitely not worth the price that they’re charging now,” said Adrian Brown, a chef in the French Quarter who moved outside the city center.

New Orleans capitalized on “the power and the spirit of the comeback,” said Michael Hecht of Greater New Orleans Inc., but most of the disaster relief and philanthropy has come and gone. He says the next ten years will likely be harder than the first.

At the Rebirth concert, an upbeat crowd enjoyed a lush summer evening, with kids playing and couples swaying as the Mississippi lapped at the levee.

“You’re not going to recover from the impact of Katrina and be the same,” concertgoer Torrie Jakes said. “Do I mourn the loss of that New Orleans? Yes, but do I like the new parts of New Orleans? Yes, I do.”

CURRENCY: Hardly just Latin America as global prices drop From Page a2

It’s hardly just Latin America.

Kazakhstan’s currency plummeted this week after the government decided to let it trade freely. The South African rand fell this week to a 14-year-low against the U.S. dollar.

Turkey’s lira hit a record low against the dollar this week.

Hung Tran, an executive managing director at the Institute of International Finance, expects developing countries to post 3.8 percent economic growth this year, down from 4.3 percent in 2014. The institute is on

the verge of cutting that forecast further.

Analysts point to a primary culprit: “It’s all coming from China,” says Masamichi Adachi, an economist with JP Morgan Chase in Tokyo.

“Brazil, South Africa, many countries are commodity exporters, and the final destination is all going to China.”

The Chinese economy is slowing more sharply than most people had expected from the double-digit growth rates of the mid-2000s. The world’s second-biggest economy is

expected to grow 7 percent this year, which would be its slowest pace since 1990.

Beijing is trying to manage a transition from rapid growth based on exports and often-wasteful spending on factories, real estate and infrastructure to slower, steadier expansion based on consumer spending.

That transition means China would need fewer raw materials — Chilean copper, Nigerian oil, Brazilian iron ore. That helps explain why China’s pullback has loosed carnage in global commodity prices: The Standard & Poor’s GSCI commodity

index, which tracks 24 commodities prices, is down nearly 20 percent this year.

Emerging markets were already feeling the squeeze last week, when China devalued its currency, the yuan. That step ignited a semi-panic.

“The devaluation is a red flag about China’s current economic situation,” says Kurt Braybrook, who runs a Shanghai company that does quality control work. A falling yuan raises the risk that other countries will devalue their currencies to catch up.

Most countries can’t blame China

and the vagaries of the global commodities market for all their problems.

South Africa is battling labor strife. Brazil is contending with a corruption scandal at state-owned oil giant Petrobras. Turkey is struggling to form a government while its military battles the Islamic State extremist group and Kurdish separatists.

Adding to the pressure: America’s Federal Reserve is expected, perhaps at its September meeting, to raise the short-term rate it controls from near zero.
