Former state attorney general Kathleen Kane’s potential sentence ranges from probation to a 12- to 24-year prison term.

‘Humbled’ ex-AG Kane seeks probation

By Maryclaire Dale Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The former attorney general has been “humbled and embarrassed” by her perjury conviction and hopes to avoid jail time so she can raise her children, her lawyers said in a sentencing memo filed Tuesday.

Kathleen Kane, 50, is set to be sentenced Oct. 24 for leaking grand jury documents to a newspaper and lying about it under oath.

Prosecutors have said that the first-ter m Democrat abused her power to settle personal scores, ruining morale in her office and the state’s law enforcement community. They are seeking jail or prison time.

Her lawyers painted a far different in the sentencing memo. They said she had overcome a difficult childhood in Scranton to put herself through college and law school before juggling duties as an assistant county prosecutor, mother and community volunteer.

Kane used her husband’s family trucking fortune to help fund a successful run for statewide office in 2012.

She was a rising political star early on, questioning the time it took to bring sex assault charges against former Penn State assis-

Montgomery County prosecutors, who investigated the 2014 newspaper leak, said a paranoid Kane planned and plotted the crime to embarrass rivals, then deceived a grand jury to cover it up.

with anyone she helped put behind bars. They asked for probation or, at most, house arrest, so Kane can make amends and continue raising her two sons. She and her husband are divorcing.

“She rose from poverty to a pinnacle, and has already fallen,” lawyer Mark Steinberg wrote in t h e s e n t e n c i n g m e m o, which included letters to the judge from friends and family members.

fered most from the torture of their fall from glory and their plummet from grace,” he wrote, quoting from a 1987 state Superior Court ruling. “And of course, the higher the ascent, the sharper the fall — the more precious the gift, the more shameful its loss.”

Kane did not testify at her August trial, when a jury convicted her on all nine counts in a matter of hours. The potential sentence ranges from probation to a 12- to 24-year prison term.

LANCASTER — A central Pennsylvania police officer accused of lying under oath in the prosecution of a 2014 public drunkenness case is again facing a felony perjury charge.

LNP newspapers reports that a Lancaster County district judge ruled Monday there was enough evidence for the case against Sgt. Raymond Corll to go to county court.

The judge dismissed the perjury charge in April, citing a lack of evidence, but state prosecutors refiled it last month.

Corll faces trial in February on simple assault, false swearing and official oppression charges. He and his attorney declined comment Monday.

Corli alleged in March 2014 that he saw the defendant swaying on the sidewalk, but the attorney general’s office said video evidence didn’t support the .allegation. Charges were dropped and the defendant later filed suit.

Father of girl shot with BB gun gets 3 to 6 years

MILFORD — A Northeastern Pennsylvania man accused of shooting his teenage daughter more than a dozen times with a BB gun last spring has been sentenced to three to six years in prison.

Forty-one-year-old Sean Brown pleaded guilty last week in Pike County to child endangerment, simple assault and obstruction.

Authorities said the Bushkill man shot his 14-year-old daughter a total of 17 times on March 31 and then didn’t provide the girl with any treatment.

State police began investigating after a nurse at the girl’s school noticed several small, open wounds on her body.

Officials said the girl then told her what had happened.

quick fix is needed. However, he also criticized the current distribution of Mount Airy slot revenue among Monroe County and its surrounding counties. That means municipalities far away from Mount Airy near the New York border are receiving impact money, Parker said.

“I don’t think the (tax) fix will be the problem as much as the distribution,” said panel Chairman John Payne, R-Hershey, following the debate.

He outlined several scenarios: ■ The legislature passes a tax fix before it wraps up voting on bills for the two-year session next Wednesday.

■ The tax fix is coupled with an expansion of internet gambling.

■ The tax issue isn’t resolved until next year and the new assessment is made retroactive to Jan. 26, 2017.

Lancaster officer again faces felony perjury charge

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

HARRISBURG — Several House lawmakers want to change how local share gambling money is distributed to municipalities, a potential curve ball to efforts to restore a state slots tax declared unconstitutional.

The comments made Tuesday at a public hearing suggested a looming tug of war between lawmakers representing districts receiving local share money and those from “have-not” districts that don’t receive any local share.

The House Gaming Oversight Committee heard testimony from local officials, including a township supervisor in Monroe County, on what the loss of gambling share money would mean to their budgets and tax rates.

This was the first legislative hearing on the issue since last month’s state Supreme Court ruling that found the way casiare taxed for COver nos local impact sTOry assessments is unconstitutional. The court ruled in favor of Mount Airy Casino Resort’s complaint that casinos generating less revenue than others pay a heavier tax burden under the current assessment.

At stake is the distribution of $140 million annually to municipalities in Northeastern Pennsylvania and elsewhere near casinos for police and rescue services, economic development and road and sewer projects.

“A loss of Mt. Airy slots revenue to the township would have a devastating impact on our residents,” testified Peter Gonze, supervi-

sor of Paradise Township where Mount Airy is located in Monroe County. “Specifically, to make up the loss of $800,000 would require the township to increase local taxes by over 20 mills.”

The state Revenue Department said it will collect the 2017 assessment until Jan. 26, the date the court ruling takes effect.

Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, urged his colleagues to fix the tax issue in the remaining days of the current legislative session and deal with distribution issues in the new session starting in January.

“Let us solve the problem so the municipalities know what they have,” he said.

Westmoreland County doesn’t receive a local share yet it borders three counties hosting casinos, said Rep. George Dunbar, R-Jeannette, arguing for a redistribution.

LANCASTER — A central Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a fatal accident last year in which authorities said he was texting while driving.

Twenty-four-year-old Phong Chadd Pham of Lancaster pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter and summary charges of disregarding a traffic lane, prohibiting text-based communications and reckless driving.

Prosecutors dismissed a third-degree felony charge of homicide by vehicle.

Authorities said Pham crossed the center line on a curve on Route 222 in Strasburg Township and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by 78-year-old Eva Kunkle in July 2015.

The New Providence woman, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene. Pham was seriously injured but he survived.

Authorities said phone records indicated that Pham had been text messaging immediately prior to the accident.

$28M hotel project moving forward in W-B Development lagged because of deeds required to break ground

By Jacob Seibel Staff Writer ChriStopher Dolan / the CitizenS’ VoiCe

Dr. Joseph A. Cocciardi, a certified industrial hygienist from Cocciardi and Associates, delivers a presentation on mold and air quality at Wyoming Valley West High School in Plymouth on Tuesday.

Mold removal at Valley West middle school will begin Thursday

Officials said students should be able to return to school in about 4 weeks

By Eric Mark Staff Writer PLYMOUTH — Crews will begin to remove mold from Wyoming Valley West Middle School on Thursday and students should be able to return to the school in about four weeks, district officials said Tuesday.

That was the biggest news at an informational public meeting the district hosted to update issues at the middle school in Kingston, which has been closed since Sept. 27 as a precaution after mold was discovered in several areas of the school.

The district school board, at tonight’s meeting, will likely hire Datom Products of Dunmore to remove the mold, district solicitor Charles Coslett said.

Datom Products, described on its website as “a full-service environmental protection and remediation organization,” submitted the best bid for the project and “has all the credentials to fix this right,” Coslett said.

Datom officials promised to start work Thursday if the district hires the company tonight, Coslett said. They estimate the job will take three to four weeks, he said.

The district’s middle school and high school students have shared the high school building, on a split

schedule, since Oct. 3.

Tuesday’s meeting, at Wyoming Valley West High School in Plymouth, drew about 100 people, most of them parents of district middle school students. They peppered district officials and consultant Joseph Cocciardi, a certified industrial hygienist, with questions about the state of the school and efforts to rid it of mold.

Cocciardi noted that mold is present in air nearly everywhere and cannot be eliminated. The key is to make sure mold levels are as low or lower inside buildings as they are at the spot where outside air enters the building, he said.

Following an inspection of the middle school last week, Cocciardi — a self-described “sanitarian” with an office in Jessup — devised an action plan for mold abatement, he said.

The plan includes stopping water infiltration that caused the mold; fixing the HVAC system if needed; disposing of all visible mold safely; performing a high-efficiency cleaning; sampling the air and monitoring for moisture.

Then came the questions.

Parents wanted to know what caused the mold in the first place, which areas of the school are impacted the most, details of last week’s building inspection, whether the district plans to test other schools for mold and when the middle

Cocciardi noted that mold is present in air nearly everywhere and cannot be eliminated. The key is to make sure mold levels are as low or lower inside buildings as they are at the spot where outside air enters the building. school will reopen.

The exact cause of the mold problems at the school has not been determined, Cocciardi said, in answer to a question from Justin Heffner, of Kingston, whose daughter attends the middle school.

Even when the cause is determined, the public might not know.

Specifics such as how much mold was removed from a specific area of the school will not be immediately released due to potential pending litigation, Coslett said.

“Bottom line is there’s an identifiable complaint under which litigation may ensue, so it’s privileged,” he said.

That answer did not satisfy Heffner, who repeatedly asked officials to explain the origin of the mold problem. He repeated his concerns in remarks after the meeting, telling reporters the district’s answers were “a skatearound.”

In answer to another parent’s question, district Superintendent Irvin DeRemer said the district monitors all its buildings for air quality issues but for now officials do not plan extensive testing at other schools.

“Right now our concentration is strictly on the middle school,” he said.

Also, the district will need to make up hours that middleand high-school students are missing as long as the splitschedule with its abbreviated school days is in effect, DeRemer said.

To reach the state-mandated total of 990 instructional hours for the school year, the district will need to adjust school schedules once the middle school reopens, DeRemer said.

“We will take a look at where we are in the coming weeks,” he said. emark@citizensvoice.com, 570-821-2117

WILKES-BARRE — The $28 million project to build a hotel and conference center in downtown WilkesBarre is slowly picking up.

City council asked city officials for a status update on the hotel project, as an ordinance came before council at its work session T u e s d ay t o v a c a t e a n unnamed private party alley at the development site.

“I don’t see anything else getting in the way,” said City Administrator Ted Wampole.

Wampole said the development had been lagging because of the various deeds the developer, Sphere International LLC, had to acquire in order to get all the parcels needed to break ground.

The scope of the project is to build a 10-story hotel with 100 rooms, retail space and 17,000 square feet of banquet space at South Main and East Nor thampton streets.

According to the plans presented, apartment units and condominiums will be located on the upper floors and a conference center will welcome regional and statewide meetings.

Late last year, council voted for the $500,000 sale of the main piece of land needed for the project. Other parcels were sold to the developer by private owners.

Wampole said the deed for the city-owned land will likely be signed over to Sphere International by the end of this month.

“We are there,” Wampole said of the sale being finalized. “We aren’t quite over the line yet, but we’ re

At Thursday’s regular meeting, council will vote on changing traffic patterns as a patient tower and intensive care unit expansion project at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital begins.

The city’s traffic code has to be amended and to establish new traffic patterns on both West Maple and West Linden streets.

Currently, both streets are one-way. The amendment before city council will make both streets twoways.

The altered traffic patter ns will be in place until the project is completed, which is expected by the end of 2017.

In a se parate agenda item related to traf fic, council will also vote on whether to add two fourway stop signs in the city.

One will be placed at the intersection of Hanover, South Franklin and Oregon streets. The second will go at the intersection of Firwood and Horton streets.

The city is also be seeking to contract with the lowest possible bidder to demolish 310-312 E. Northampton St., which will be paid through a fire escrow fund. Council will vote on the first reading at the meeting Thursday. jseibel@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2110, @cvseibel

Lawyer says defense attorney helped Penn State edit release

By Mark Scolforo Associated Press

BELLEFONTE — Penn State’s former general counsel testified Tuesday that several days before two high-ranking administrators were charged over their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal, the school’s then-president let the men’s defense lawyers review and suggest changes to a statement he later issued that voiced his full support for them.

Cynthia Baldwin told jurors about email exchanges that ensued with defense attorneys Tom Farrell and Caroline Roberto shortly before their clients were charged with perjury, failure to properly report suspected abuse and other offenses in November 2011.

Baldwin said someone at the attorney general’s office had told her the charges were coming against Gary Schultz, then the school’s vice president for business and finance,

Spanier wanted help with a statement in support of Curley and Schultz that he had drafted, and his aides suggested changes. He also directed Baldwin to provide it to the defense attorneys.

Spanier’s statement is a critical part of a civil lawsuit that went to trial this week, brought by former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary. He believes he was defamed by the Spanier statement, which said the charges against Curley and Schultz were groundless.

McQueary has testified he reported to the two men in 2001 that he saw Sandusky sexually abuse a boy in a team shower.

He believes Spanier’s press statement made him look like a liar.

Before Spanier’s statement was posted on a university news site, Baldwin had been in touch with the two defense lawyers. Farrell, who represents Schultz, suggested making a wording change, from

Treasurer candidate Voit touts financial experience

By Borys Krawczeniuk Staff Writer

Republican state treasurer candidate Otto Voit believes solving the crisis in the state’s two major pension systems is essential because that threatens local school districts and taxpayers.

During an interview with Times-Shamrock newspapers Tuesday, Voit, a former chief financial officer for several companies and a school director in Berks County, said the crisis is far worse than estimated so far because actuarial studies assume “unrealistic” rates of return on pension investments. The deficit in the pensions of teachers and state employees could total as high as $125 billion, he said.

Without a solution, school districts will keep contributing higher amounts each year for pensions.

“They will continue to rise, property taxes will continue to rise and school districts, a lot of them right now, don’t have the capacitytotax,”Voitsaid.

Voit faces Democrat Joseph Torsella, Libertarian James Babb and Green Party candi-

The job pays $158,764 this year. Elected treasurers can serve up to two four-year terms.

Voit declined to commit to a specific pension solution but said he’s neither ruling in, nor ruling out any specific idea, including long-term borrowing

to solve the deficits.

He would only favor longterm borrowing if it means a permanent solution to debt crisis, he said. He acknowledged the crisis will only get solved with the cooperation of Republican and Democratic legislators,hesaid.

Strike deadline nears at 14 state universities The union has said the raises are distorted and would not cover steep health care costs.

The workload proposal would flood the system with adjunct faculty in place of permanent faculty and threaten education quality, they said.

Each side has questioned negotiators’ commitment to reaching a fair and timely deal.

never walked out during the state system’s 34-year history.

The uncertainty left students to question the impact a strike might have on grades, mid-year graduations and financial aid.

The state said it would try to keep classes going, and reminded students that teachers are not required to strike.

But Shawn Davis, an assistant professor of parks and recreation at Slippery Rock University, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Tuesday that faculty members are ready.

“I’m really hoping they can come to an agreement, but we are prepared to strike if that’s what it takes,” Davis said at a rally on campus.

The union includes faculty from Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester universities of Pennsylvania.

The last faculty contract expired June 30, 2015.

Ultimately, both said they would stay at the table as long as progress was being made.

Tuesday’s talks continued weekend negotiations.

Members of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties union have previously voted to authorize a strike but faculty members have

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

HARRISBURG (AP) — Negotiators for Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education and its faculty union continued last-minute contract talks Tuesday as more than 100,000 students at 14 state universities awaited word on whether the school year might be disrupted by a strike.

The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties set a strike for 5 a.m. Wednesday if no agreement could be reached.

The union represents more than 5,000 faculty and coaches across the state, and a walkout would likely halt classes midsemester.

Negotiators withheld discussion updates Tuesday because of an agreed upon news blackout, but the two sides have sparred over a number of contractual changes.

Chief among those changes were proposed raises to be offered over three years, health care contributions and proposed new work rules, including one requiring temporary faculty to teach an additional class each semester.

The state said schools would remain open during a walkout and students should report to classes because it’s not known how many faculty members would strike. But the state has warned that campuses may have to cancel classes and that a strike could harm future enrollment.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf reinforced that notion, warning “a strike could drive a loss of students, which would further exacerbate an already precarious financial situation for the state system.” He said reaching a compromise is paramount.

The system said it has offered faculty generous pay raises that would amount to about $159 million over the course of the contract.

Pay for full-time faculty ranges from a starting salary of $46,609 to $112,238 at the top of the pay scale for experienced professors.

Negotiators made the offer in exchange for contract and health care changes that would save about $70 million. They said other unions and system employees already have accepted the higher health insurance payments in the proposed plan.

14 THE CITIZENS' VOICE

VIEWPOINT OUR VOICE

Police transparency brings accountability

Far too many state lawmakers have concluded that public scrutiny is the culprit when police use force against civilians. The Senate has scheduled votes on whether to shield the identities of police officers who use force and to preclude the public release of any video or audio captured by police body and dashboard cameras.

Video and audio files are public documents produced by public agencies. They should be treated under the same standards that apply to other public documents, all the more so because police are agents of the state endowed with the authority to use deadly force. Accountability to the public for that level of state power is even more important than for other public agencies.

Yet Senate Bill 976 would carve a massive exception in the Right to Know Law, explicitly prohibiting the release of video and audio recordings made by police.

Meanwhile, House Bill 1538 would leave with law enforcement officials the decision to release the name of any officer who uses force resulting in serious injury or death, unless the officer is convicted of a crime. That would enable authorities to keep a lid on any such investigation.

Such policies are woefully counter-productive. They make a mockery of the public’s right to know the conduct of a public agency and its agents. And, inevitably, drawing a legal curtain over police conduct will only increase public suspicion and widen the divide in many communities between police forces and the communities they are sworn to serve.

At its convention in San Diego this week, the International Association of Chiefs of Police issued a remarkable statement — an apology for past incidents in which police have mistreated minority residents.

President Terrence M. Cunningham justly hailed officers for their “examples of bravery, self-sacrifice and service to the community. “But,” he said, “there have been times when law enforcement officers because of the laws enacted by federal, state and local governments have been the face of oppression to far too many of our fellow citizens.”

The objective should be to change that face, which can occur only through greater openness rather than through enforced secrecy. Gov. Tom Wolf should veto any bill that diminishes police transparency and accountability.

Facebook’s nudity policy is a muddled mess

By Philippa Levine The Dallas Morning News TNS

When it comes to nudity and what gets posted, Facebook has a problem. It’s a problem that will only get worse, especially now that the company is being sued by an Irish teenager who claims the social media giant failed to act when naked pictures of her were repeatedly posted in an act of what’s now being called revenge pornography.

These so-called shame pages are obviously wrong and need to be taken down. But Facebook’s nudity policy is broad and has resulted in decisions that have infuriated users.

And that’s the problem: There is no defined standard. Facebook needs to find a way to distinguish the truly harmful from the benign.

Facebook recently found itself internationally derided for deleting a famous photograph of a terrified 9-year-old girl fleeing a napalm attack in 1972 during the Vietnam War, and suspending the account of Tom Egeland, the Norwegian writer who had posted it as part of a piece on iconic war images. Facebook then deleted a critical post by Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg that tried to distinguish between the necessary prevention of abuse and plain old censorship.

It’s that which is at stake for the teenager who clearly needs Facebook to cooperate, but it’s also an issue for those who see Facebook’s policy as woefully overbearing.

Another user whose account was suspended recently was Australia Aboriginal activist Celeste Liddle. She posted a trailer for a television show that featured some indigenous women topless during an Aboriginal ceremony. In a scathing critique of Facebook, Liddle pointed out that the ban coincided with racy images of Kim Kardashian all over Facebook.

Since then, Facebook has struggled to adopt a policy that its users endorse, but also that has any real coherence. In 2012, the company began to ban nude images that were reported by users. In 2015, after altering its community stan-

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T14] | 10/18/16

dards, Facebook classified nudity alongside hate speech, selfharm, bullying and violence. That is an interesting combination. Why should the naked body be classified as disgusting, hateful and harmful?

If you’re the victim of a shame page, then the answer is clear. But does the current policy that Facebook has adopted serve either the needs of such victims or those of other users who see legitimacy in posting images that include nakedness but which serve other purposes? After all, if art galleries refused to exhibit nude paintings, the selection from which they would be able to choose would be radically diminished.

Facebook should start by listening more carefully to what users have to say. The persistent suspension of users such as Liddle and Egeland serves no purpose and is mindless censorship. Without question, Facebook must continually be alert to the dangers of abuse, but it’s not that difficult to distinguish between a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that’s about discrediting aggressive wartime policies that hurt the young and the new and troubling trend of hurtful revenge pornography. The violence in the napalm attack photograph is not the naked child but the atrocities she’s trying to outrun.

By acceding to the idea that nakedness is unacceptable, Facebook reinforces the harm of the shaming game.

There is a world of difference between a photograph or a piece of art posted as social commentary, empathy or even self-promotion, and one designed to humiliate. It’s not the nude image that’s the problem, but the intent behind it, and that’s what Facebook needs to address.

Facebook uses a mix of human and algorithmic testing to determine the suitability of material that gets posted, so it could easily put into place a policy that routed all complaints about nudity to Facebook employees with clear guidelines about application. Facebook needs to nuance its guidelines and stop treating its users so disdainfully. It needs to ask itself why a naked Vietnamese child or an elderly Aboriginal woman is not OK to post, but a Kim Kardashian shot makes the cut.

Facebook needs to lead, not follow.

Editor: Sadly, it is more environmentally friendly to leave Pennsylvania’s coal refuse piles where they are rather than creating unprecedented amounts of air pollution for miniscule energy production. Burning it does not make it go away. Coal waste has an ash content of almost 50 percent. Pennsylvania’s coal waste plants are actually creating a substance that more readily distributes acids and heavy metals into groundwater, fills old coal mines with it, and calls it reclamation.

To describe the Panther Creek plant as the shining example of this government subsidized dirty energy is laughable (Oct. 13). Panther Creek has a higher percentage of poor people (43 percent) living around it than any coal plant in the state. It releases at least 15,000 pounds of lead every year. The same politicians that decry the EPA’s Clean Power Plan and the federal government’s support of truly renewable energy now have their hand out for this dangerous and unnecessary industry.

Americans’ number 1 fear: ‘Corrupt political officials’

Editor: It turns out that “scary clowns” or terrorists are not the people that most Americans are afraid of today. A recent poll stated that Americans’ number one fear todayis“corruptpoliticalofficials.”

So, as we sift through all the lies and politically motivated mudslinging of this presidential campaign and feel overwhelmed by it all, we need to look at the bigger picture and narrow our focus to one basic tenet: Who is theleastpoliticallycorruptcandidate?

You either vote to defend corruption or vote to reject corruption.

Burning coal refuse piles does not make it go away

Editor: This election, as disgusting as it may be, was destined to happen. We have reached the point where we must decide if we will abandon what’s left of our constitutional republic with limited power to a centralized government with unlimited power over every aspect of our individual lives. That is the really what we should be debating. The progressive Democrats do not want to have that debate because all of their socialist ideas have failed.

All the government programs have not solved the problems of the poor. Our educational system is not working for far too many. The nation is in debt, the economy limps along, morality is vanishing, the family has been destroyed, religion is ridiculed, our borders are open and our ability to defend ourselves as a nation in question. We have become a nation divided into groups and pitted against each other for political gain.

If I had to choose one word to describe our government today, it would be corrupt. Our Constitution has not failed, our elected officials and judges have failed to follow the laws upon which this nation was founded. They claim the Constitution is outdated, but we have made many lawful changes to the Constitution not by Presidential orders or Supreme Court decisions, but by using the amendment process in the Constitution.

Donald Trump is in his own bumbling way is trying to save the Constitution of the United States. That is what “Make America Great Again” means. That is why the political elite are determined to stop him because the political class and their allies have made a very comfortable and prosperous life for themselves by controlling the government and they want to continue to do so.

Trump’s election will not solve all our problems nor does it guarantee success, but he will expose just how corrupt our government is and hopefully give the American people, all Americans, the opportunity to have a say in what our nation will be in the future, not dictated to us by those who see us not as individual citizens, but as groups to be moved around and used further their desire for power and control.

Trump is not some god to me, he is just a man, like the rest of us. But I do believe he is the last best hope for the future for the simple reason that he is not from the political class. I could be wrong, but when I see just how corrupt Hillary is, how dishonest she is and how she has used her time in government enriching herself, I cannot vote for her.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump may not agree on many things, but both have done their part in exposing the corruption that exists in both political parties and I thank them.

It is a difficult choice and I hope you vote. I will also pray that somehow we the people make the right choice, but my greatest fear is that some will turn to violence if they do not get the result they want. If that happens, we will all lose.

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

Editor: Many Americans are apathetic and disillusioned over the prospect of having to vote in this presidential election. It is due to the fact that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump lack the necessary virtues for the presidency. It is not their stand on the issues that is appalling to people; what hor rifies them is their absence of integrity and character. True leadership and wise decision making emanate from a person’s character. Character is measured by who you are on the inside. It is a matter of the heart.

Character can be defined as a pattern of behavior, thought and feelings based on universal principles, moral strength and integrity. The real test of character is having the guts to live by your principles every day. A person’s character is evidenced by their life’s virtues and having the fortitude to never violate them. Abraham Lincoln eloquently captured the essence of character with this quote: “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

Character is the most important attribute necessary to lead the United States in one of the most critical periods in our history.

These two candidates do not possess an ounce of character between them. It is a sad commentary that the American people are faced with choosing a narcissist bent on megalomania and whose sole ambition is to make money or a consummate politician who promises everything and anything to win over the liberal establishment. Clinton is neither honest nor trustworthy; in addition she lacks established principles as she believes in separate policies for the private and the public sector.

President Woodrow Wilson said that the presidency does not make the man, the man makes the presidency. What made George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan great presidents? Each exuded character and held to their principles.

Examine the following seven cardinal virtues and evaluate whether or not Trump and Clinton exhibit any of them: moral character, prudence, justice, temperance, faith, hope and love. It is obvious these candidates do not, consequently I cannot vote for either one of them. Donald J. Trump or Hillary R. Clinton will be our 45th president of United States without my vote. The real test of character will come when one of them has attained power. God help America.

Sem students give back to community Wyo m i n g S e m i n a r y began the 2016-17 school year with an energetic schedule, providing students with many different opportunities to get involved in the arts, athletics and activities.

One such opportunity was Community Day, which occurred for the first time in the school’s long history on Sept. 9. Students travelled all across the valley to help give back to the community.

Some of the projects included weeding and clearing trash from Riverfront Park; aiding the Blue Chip Farms animal refuge; working at Camp Orchard Hill and serving other organizations like Camp Kresge and Hillside Farms. After their hard work, students congregated for an assembly in the Kirby Center for Creative Arts to reflect on the ideas of community service and school values.

Community service is a tradition at Sem that goes well back into the school’s history. For example, the Thanksgiving Project, a student government initiative that helps to support local families in need during the

Similarly, students and faculty have been giving a helping hand at St. Vincent de Paul’s soup kitchen every month for well over a decade.

yesterday’s solution

CryptoQuip The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another.

Solution is by trial and error.

daily Bridge Stacy Keach said, “I can’t think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.”

In bridge, everyone is taught how to finesse very early, and — no joke — almost everyone, especially below the expert level, loves to finesse. But do you know anyone who was warned that unless the contract is on the line, not to finesse when the failure of that finesse would result in more tricks being lost than if the finesse had never been taken?

Today, South is faced with two minor-suit finesses. Which should he take, if any, in either six no-trump or seven no-trump after West leads the spade jack to declarer’s ace?

North’s weak-two opening promised a good sixcard suit and 6-10 high-card points. South, wishing

to protect his ace-queen minor-suit holdings at trick one, jumped to six no-trump. South starts with 11 top tricks: three spades, six hearts, one diamond and one club. To get a guaranteed 12th trick is easy: Cross to dummy with a heart and run the diamond jack. Even if the finesse loses, declarer gets a second diamond trick to bring his total up to 12.

In seven no-trump, though, South seems to have a choice — but he doesn’t. If the club finesse is winning, that only gets him up to 12 tricks. Declarer needs to assume that the diamond finesse is working. Then he gets three diamond tricks and 13 in all.

If you are thinking about contracting for a grand slam that needs a finesse to work, bid it when the finesse is winning and do not bid it when the finesse is losing!

Woman wants photographer boyfriend to focus on her DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I are mature adults who enjoy photography. He brings his camera when we go to the beach or sporting events — even to the store. He’s learning all the time about how to use light correctly and his zoom lens.

When we get back and I download the pics from his camera, the majority of s h o t s a r e o f wo m e n’s chests, behinds and pretty f aces. He has snapped many of them while they were standing right next to me. (There are very few shots of me — ever.)

When I ask if he wants me to delete the photos, he says no. I don’t understand why he would keep pictures of strangers. He says he’s like any photographer — he likes to review his photos. I tell him it hurts my feelings to think he enjoys looking at other women more than at me. It would be different if they were beautiful portraits, but they’re not. It is painful that I’m not included.

Am I wrong to feel unimportant and ignored? — OUT OF THE PICTURE DEAR OUT: You are entitled to your feelings, and they may be justified.

Because you identify this man as your boyfriend, I assume you have an exclusive relationship. There will always be women around who are younger and prettier. That’s life.

Because you can’t control his taste in subjects, my advice is to quit downloading his pictures for him if

We th n of what you would have been like and where you would be now.

We say this even though I know the answer because you would have been my best friend and we would have been together always.

How you made us laugh and how bright your smile was are forever in our thoughts.

So many good things have been done because of you and your foundation.

Your light has made others lives brighter in so many ways.

We miss you so much, we are happy that we had you for a little while but now you are with Jesus forever.

Love & miss you terribly, Mom, Dad, Kim, Patrick, Family & Friends

A Card of Thanks

Lord Jesus, could you rock him for a while?

He has no mother’s breast, no father’s smile.

No downy silky pillow for his head…

They placed him in the bloody basin--dead.

He was so small, this baby doomed to die, His mother’s rights, the only reason why, From somewhere safe and warm, they tore the child, Lord Jesus, could you rock him for a while?

Poor little one, who was it took your breath?

Who made the healers hand a thing of death?

Who was your Judas? - Mother? Doctor? State?

Or was it we who fought your cause too late?

Please Jesus, rock the other babies too, Forgive us Lord, we don’t know what we do.

He has no cradle, cross, no grave, no tomb, This baby crucified in the womb. ~~ Anonymous ~~

PHILADELPHIA — Suburban prosecutors on Tuesday accused Bill Cosby’s “cadre of high-priced lawyers” of stretching the truth as they try again to get a sexual-assault case against him thrown out.

The two sides have filed dueling legal briefs before a key pretrial hearing next month. The Nov. 1 hearing could determine if the case moves forward, if more accusers testify and whether jurors can hear Cosby’s prior testimony about giving women drugs and alcohol before trying to have sex with them.

Cosby’s lawyers complain it’s unfair to make him defend events from a 2004 sexual encounter.

They have argued Cosby, who’s 79 years old and blind, can’t recognize his accusers or even remember if he’s ever met them.

However, Montgomery County prosecutors argued on Tuesday that Cosby, once known as America’s Dad for his beloved portrayal of Dr. Cliff Huxtable on his top-ranked “The Cosby Show” in the 1980s and ‘90s, used his fame and fortune “to conceal his crimes” for years.

They said they reopened the case last year because they had new evidence from a long-sealed Cosby deposition from the accuser’s 2006 civil lawsuit and from the dozens of other accusers who came forward after the deposition was released.

“He is an individual who has used his fame and fortune for decades to conceal his crimes and hide his t r u e n at u re, ” D i s t r i c t Attor ney Kevin Steele wrote, noting Cosby fought repeated efforts by The Associated Press to unseal documents from the civil case file.

Cosby is set to go on trial in June. Prosecutors have asked the judge to let 13 other accusers testify to support Andrea Constand’s claims that Cosby drugged

and molested her. The AP typically doesn’t name people who say they are sexualassault victims, but Constand’s lawyer has given permission for her to be named.

Steele said his office reinvestigated the case for six months last year before deciding to file charges on Dec. 30, days before the statute of limitations ran out.

Blue Jays’ Josh Donaldson reacts as he rounds first after hitting a solo home run off Indians’ Corey Kluber, right, during Game 4 of the ALCS on Tuesday in Toronto.

Blue Jays’ bats come alive

By Noah Trister Associated Press

ALCS

TORONTO — Just in time, Josh Donaldson and the Toronto Blue Jays broke out the bats to save their season.

Now they have a chance to really make things interesting in this AL Championship Series.

Donaldson backed up his fiery pep talk to teammates before the game, hitting a home run and turning in a timely diving stop Tuesday to help the Blue Jays avert a sweep with a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Indians.

The Indians still lead the matchup 3-1, but with a couple of big hits and a strong outing by Aaron Sanchez,

Cleveland 3, Toronto 1

Toronto handed them their first loss of this postseason.

“I’m not going to give too much away of what I had to say, but just more so getting everybody’s attention and focus and understanding,” Donaldson said. “I mean, everybody knew coming into today how important today was. But at the same time I just wanted to kind of reiter-

WB_VOICE - DLY - 28 - 10/19/16

ate that and let the boys know that I was coming to play today.”

Cleveland will try again today to win to earn its first World Series trip since 1997, but the big concern for the Indians coming into the series — an injury-riddled rotation — still lingers. In Game 5, Cleveland will start Ryan Merritt, who has pitched just 11 innings in the majors, against Marco Estrada.

It was an emotional day all around at Rogers Centre, where the home crowd had fallen silent watching the s e a s o n s l i p p i n g aw ay because of a slumbering offense that totaled only three runs in the first three games of the series.

“I thought we battled pretty good today, with the bats,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “Naturally, when you score, which we haven’t been doing, it always looks good.”

Donaldson’s solo shot to left-center field off Corey Kluber in the third put the Blue Jays ahead for the first time all series. Two innings after that, the star third baseman made an outstanding play to preserve a one-run edge.

Sanchez, the American League ERA champion, allowed a run and two hits in six innings, and the bullpen finished with three perfect innings.

Kluber was starting on

three days’ rest for the first time in his career.

“I felt fine. I don’t think it physically affected me. I made a mistake to Donaldson,” Kluber said. “We’re one win away from the World Series and that’s what we’re focused on.”

Kluber hadn’t allowed a run in either of his first two starts this postseason. Donaldson, the reigning AL MVP and sporting a still freshly shaved face, opened the scoring with his first home run of these playoffs.

The wild-card Blue Jays made it 2-0 in the fourth when Ezequiel Carrera’s blooper fell between three Cleveland fielders in left-center for an RBI single.

21:31 | REESERJAME

Roberto Perez hit an RBI double in the fifth off Sanchez.

Carlos Santana’s two-out grounder to the left side might have had a chance to score him, but Donaldson made the play to his left, then popped up and danced off the field with a bit of a fist pump.

“I was locked in,” Donaldson said. “It helps when you have a guy like Sanchez in the zone, where you can really focus in on a certain area of the strike zone. And I was able to get a really good read off the bat, and I was fortunate enough to be able to make the play.”

The Indians didn’t have another baserunner after that.

Indians pitcher Corey Kluber pitches to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

MArk terrill / AssociAteD Press

Dodgers’ Yasmani Grandal hits a two-run home run during the fourth inning of Game 3 of the NLCS on Tuesday night.

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

TORONTO — Corey Kluber’s first career start on short rest hardly went the way he hoped.

Looking to finish off a Cleveland sweep in the AL Championship Series, the ace right-hander got touched up by the Toronto Blue Jays during a 5-1 defeat Tuesday in Game 4.

Kluber was pushed up to pitch on three days’ rest because of several injuries to Cleveland’s rotation. He took the loss after allowing two runs and four hits while throwing 89 pitches in five innings.

“I felt fine,” Kluber said. “I don’t think (the short rest) physically affected me.”

It was the first time the 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner permitted a playoff opponent to score. He had thrown 13⅓ scoreless innings against the Red Sox and Blue Jays this October, his first postseason.

“We talked to Kluber after every inning and I thought he held his stuff really good,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “I thought his legs started to get a little tired.”

Following their first loss in seven playoff games this year, the Indians remain one win from their first trip to the World Series since 1997.

They’ll take a 3-1 ALCS lead into Game 5 tonight, when rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt starts against Blue Jays righty Marco Estrada.

Merritt’s major league resume consists of 11 regular-season innings this year.

He made one start, holding Kansas City to a run and three hits in five innings on Sept. 30.

“If you told me on the first day of the season I would be pitching in the ALCS, I might have thought you were crazy,” Merritt said. “Clinching this win would be awesome.

To get this opportunity is awesome. It feels good that the team trusts me.”

Francona is optimistic Merritt will be up to the task.

“I think he’s OK,” the manager said. “He talked to (pitching coach Mickey Callaway) a little bit about the scouting report this morning.”

Cleveland has been without starters Carlos Carrasco (broken hand) and Danny Salazar (forearm) this entire postseason. Righthander Trevor Bauer left Game 3 after four batters when blood began dripping from his right pinkie, sliced open last week as the pitcher was repairing one of the drones he enjoys flying as a hobby.

The early exit by Bauer forced the Indians to get 25 outs from their stellar bullpen Monday night and prompted Francona to turn to Kluber on short rest in Game 4.

If the ALCS goes the distance, Kluber could wind up starting on three days’ rest again. Game 7 would be Saturday in Cleveland.

Injured players might be back for Penn State

By Donnie Collins Staff Writer Penn State may be getting healthier.

It just may not matter much when the Nittany Lions take the field Saturday, their head coach warned.

With the first half of the season finished and a bye week in the rear-view mirror, Penn State will host No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday night at Beaver Stadium hoping to get some reinforcements for a defense battered early and often by injuries, especially at the linebacker position.

While head coach James Franklin said during his weekly news conference Tuesday that there is “a chance” the Nittany Lions will have linebackers Jason Cabinda, Brandon Bell and Jake Cooper available against the mighty Buckeyes, that’s potentially a far cry from having any of them at their very best. “(They) haven’t played football or practiced in a long time,” Franklin acknowledged. “So to think you’re just going to jump back in there after missing that amount of time, it is going to be a challenge. We’ll see how it plays out. ... It’s not like, last week they practiced and this week we’re hoping to get them back. They haven’t practiced at all.

“To think that they are just going to be able to jump back in and be the type of players they were when they left, I don’t know if that’s realistic.”

Saturday’S Game

Ohio State (6-0) at Penn State (4-2) Time: 8 p.m.

TV: WNEP

“Paris has played a lot of football, Franklin said of the Lackawanna College product. “Not necessarily this year, but he has played a lot of football for us. It’s not like we’re putting a guy in there that has not had experience playing big time football before. So that’s a positive.”

Palmer played the second half of the Maryland game at left tackle, with Brendan Mahon moving to the right side.

Palmer, sophomore Chasz Wright and true freshman Will Fries are the players Franklin mentioned as candidates to help fill in for Nelson.

Wright stuff Speaking of Wright, Franklin confirmed he will practice this week exclusively at tackle, which does affect one other player on the offensive line.

Right guard and LakeLehman product Connor McGovern had been sharing some playing time the last two games with Wright, but the situation at tackle might completely cede all playing time at right guard to McGovern, at least for the time being.

“We felt like moving Chasz into guard because he had shown some really good signs. We felt like we needed a little bit more mass and a little bit more length in there and he was doing some nice things,” Franklin said. “But I don’t know if — with Chasz’s experience — we can kind of bump him back and forth from tackle to guard all week long. I don’t think that’s fair to him or fair to our team.”

Seniors Derek Dowrey and Wendy Laurent, along with redshirt freshman Steven Gonzalez, would back up McGovern on Saturday.

Another chance?

Penn State does have one immediate change to make on offense, with right tackle Andrew Nelson out for the season with a knee injury suffered in the win over Maryland on Oct 8.

Franklin said the coaching staff has not yet decided who will take Nelson’s spot, or if any other changes will have to be made up front to accommodate that move. But put it this way: He talked like a coach expecting to give senior sports@citizensvoice.com Paris Palmer a long look.

Surprises, flops mark 1st half

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

The first half of the 2016 college football featured the emergence of a new star quarterback, the re-emergence of an old Pac-12 power and the end of an era at LSU. Texas is back! Nope.

Houston to the playoff !

Nah. Tom Herman to LSU? Tom Herman to Texas? Tom Herman to the Chicago Bears?

This, unfortunately, has only just begun.

With seven weeks of the season in the books, we assess the best and the worst of the first half.

WORST FIRING Les Miles, LSU LSU athletic director Joe Alleva wanted Miles out last season, but botched it and allowed Miles to gain a groundswell of support. So at first chance this season, after an ugly loss at Aubur n dropped the Tigers to 2-2, Alleva canned Miles before the coach could go out and save himself again. It was time for a change in Baton Rouge.

And if handled properly it could have been done 10 months earlier.

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

KINGSTON — Wyoming Seminary boys soccer was on the verge of clinching at least a share of first place in the conference.

Just how close? “ C e n t i m e t e r s, ” H o ly Redeemer goalkeeper Anthony Khoudary said.

The Blue Knights sent a shot Khoudary’s way near the midpoint of the second half. It rolled wide of the post but — to be sure — Khoudary laid out to secure the ball anyway.

But the ball took a bad bounce off Khoudary and trickled toward the goal line. Teammate Devin Dougherty sprinted to the goal, trapped the ball and cleared it away.

Wy o m i n g S e m i n a r y couldn’t have gotten much closer to scoring, which it nearly did anyway when it won a corner in the ensuing frenzy and sent a shot off the post. Holy Redeemer survived the scare, though, and hung on for a tense 0-0 draw Tuesday night at Nesbitt Stadium.

“I didn’t clamp it down and made a mistake ... I look over,

for seven saves, and Dougherty had his back on his miscue. The crossbar also had his back when it deflected Connor Evans’ strike on a nice run down the right side late in the second overtime period.

The Royals had a few chances, too, none better than Eric Schramm’s right after halftime.

Schramm won a one-onone footrace to a lobbed pass and took a contested break on goal. Sem keeper Ryan Anderson sprinted off his line, though, and threw himself into the play to break up his scoring opportunity.

Minutes later, Grayson Butcher chased down a similar break to block a closerange shot. “(Anderson) was aggressive and made some key stops; came out for the ball and shut them down,” Sem coach Charles Carrick said.

“The one breakaway, that was spot-on.”

Bunkers on hole No. 4 at Fox Hill Country Club are being redesigned as part of the course’s fourphase restoration plan.

Fox Hill bunkers undergoing facelift

By Nicholas Gill correspondent

EXETER — Fox Hill Country Club is regarded as one of the premier golf experiences in the area. Now, with a significant bunker and course restoration under way, the country club is taking another step forward.

The club is restoring dozens of bunkers throughout the course as part of a fourphase plan. It will add several bunkers across the course to improve playability and aesthetics.

The final part of the restoration will include some extensions of fairways and tweaks to the landscape.

“It is one of the most important improvements to the golf course that we have done in our 95 year history,” Fox Hill general manager Shane Bradley said. “It will help set us apart from the local clubs and maintain the high expectations the members and guests have when they play the course.”

Fox Hill hired architect Mark Mungeam of Mungeam Cor nish Golf Design to work alongside superintendent Ronald Garrison to restore the course’s bunkers as well as add other features to improve the golf course.

Mungeam has been in the business for 30 years, working at clubs like Olympia Fields in Chicago, which

Cornish has local roots as the architect of Wilkes-Barre Municipal Golf Club among his 200 designs. Mungeam has previously worked with Fox Hill in 1993 and brings his pedigree to this project.

Fox Hill and Mungeam want to restore the course with original designer A.W. Tillinghast in mind. Tillinghast is a world renowned golf architect with courses like Winged Foot, Bethpage Black, and Baltusrol on his resume.

trademarks like steep bunkers with flat floors.

The addition of several fairway bunkers will challenge players to approach the course more strategically.

The restoration also includes eliminating and adding bunkers as well as manipulating the landscape to provide and maximize the beauty of the course.

“The game has changed a great deal from when Tillinghast’s designed the course,” Mungeam said. “The distance that players hit the ball is much greater. We thought we could add some features that would make the game more strategic.”

The playing experience will be improved by new quality turf grass sod surrounding the restored and additional bunkers.

The high-quality sand being used will also benefit the playing experience because it is more consistent and less penal. The project is designed to complement and accentuate the first-rate Fox Hill greens.

The project is already showing prog ress as Mungeam and his team have put in the framework for the new bunkers. The finished project is estimated to be complete by Memorial Day 2017, with 75 to 80 percent of the work being done this fall.

“ T h e f i r s t t h i n g we thought about was restoring it in a manner true to A.W. T i l l i n g h a s t ’s d e s i g n , ” Mungeam said. “Some features have been added because the golf course changes over time, but that is what we are trying to do.”

Mungeam started his research for the restoration with a 1938 aerial photography of Fox Hill’s layout and an old plan Tillinghast produced for the golf course.

From there, Mungeam began working to incorpo- sports@citizensvoice.com rate some of Tillinghast’s 570-821-2060

Week 6 offered plenty of fantasy surprises

S

ometimes fantasy football makes no sense.

Like last year’s top-scoring f antasy r unning back, Devonta Freeman, getting outscored so far this season by his backup, Tevin Coleman.

Or Jay Ajayi’s performance Sunday.

The Miami running back hadn’t done much since starter Arian Foster went down in Week 2 with hamstring and groin injuries.

Ajayi only topped 10 fantasy points once in Foster’s absence, so it made sense for fantasy owners to bench him this weekend when Foster returned to the lineup to face the Steelers.

But Ajayi surprisingly got the lion’s share of the work — more carries (25) than he’s had in any game this season.

And he made the carries count, totaling 204 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Foster had just three carries

FANTASY FOOTBALL FORUM KEVIN AMERMAN Commentary

for three yards.

It was one of many Week 6 surprises. In this week’s column, we’ll take a look at these unexpected performances — good and bad — and try to figure out what they mean going forward.

■ My guess is that Ajayi is going to remain the Dolphins’ starter and possibly even the workhorse back until he stops performing well. I suggested readers pick him up a few weeks ago when coach Adam Gase admitted his running backby-committee approach wasn’t working and he needed to “narrow” the rotation.

ONLINE EXTRA

See Kevin Amerman’s weekly Studs and Duds video at citizensvoice.com/ sports/fantasy-football.

Ajayi will be a week-to-week play, but the job is clearly his to lose.

■ Tight end Coby Fleener of the Saints stunned the Panthers Sunday with a rushing touchdown on fourth down. He added 74 receiving yards and a touchdown through the air. Fleener had been a major disappointment, but now has scored 20 or more fantasy points in two of his past three games. He might not reach the gaudy numbers fantasy owners had hoped for when they drafted him, but his arrow is pointing up.

■ Even though Eagles tight end Zach Ertz has been nothing but a fantasy disappointment in his career, it’s still surprising that he can’t get it

done with competent quarterback Carson Wentz. Ertz has yet to score a touchdown this season or reach 10 fantasy points in the three games he’s been healthy for. The Vikings will be a brutal test for the Eagles on Sunday, but if Ertz can’t manage a quality game in the next two contests against the Cowboys and Giants, he belongs on the waiver wire.

■ Tajae Sharpe of the Titans was one of the most hyped sleepers this offseason. I wasn’t buying it and, honestly, I think part of the hype was that the guy has a cool name that some fantasy analysts seemed to want to repeat over and over. Sharpe hit rock bottom Sunday with zero catches and one rush for one yard. If you’re scoring at home, that’s 0.10 points.

Sharpe hasn’t topped six points since Week 1 when he scored 11. It’s time to cut Sharpe.

■ Golden Tate of the Lions

was benched by many owners and dropped by some after failing to reach eight fantasy points in any of his first five games. But he erupted against the Rams on Sunday, totaling 168 yards and a touchdown. Tate will continue to play second fiddle to Marvin Jones Jr., but this performance gives owners hope that Tate can at least be playable. If available, he’s worth picking up and stashing on you bench to see if he can sustain any value.

■ Patriots’ Chris Hogan and Martellus Bennett did very little a week after posting big numbers. Hogan managed just one reception and 39 yards Sunday against the Bengals a week after totaling 114 yards against the Browns. Bennett went scoreless and managed just 48 yards a week after totaling 67 yards and three touchdowns.

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. This is consistent with what Tom Brady does

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

PITTSBURGH — As a general rule, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesn’t get too caught up in the emotional toll of a loss or the carnage it can leave behind.

Yes, going over Sunday’s lifeless, sloppy showing in Miami wasn’t pleasant. It’s not supposed to be when you get whipped by a last-place team.

“We can’t spend any time lamenting that performance and who is available or who is not available,” Tomlin said Tuesday.

Going through the injury list would probably take too much time anyway, especially now that it includes quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

The tweaked left knee Roethlisberger suffered in the second quarter against Miami while trying to avoid a sack resulted in surgery on Monday. While Roethlisberger prides himself on his toughness, he won’t be in the lineup when Tom Brady and

franchise quarterback takes precedence.

Besides, Roethlisberger is just one of a number of boldfaced names that may be out of the lineup. Defensive end Cam Heyward will miss his second straight game with a balky left hamstring, and linebacker Ryan Shazier (knee) and right tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) will likely need to make significant strides this week if they want to be in uniform. Shazier, Pittsburgh’s most dynamic defender, hasn’t played since Week 3, while Gilbert’s left ankle is still aching from a Week 4 win over Kansas City.

Running back DeAngelo Williams (knee), safety Rob Golden (foot), safety Mike Mitchell (knee) and wide receiver Markus Wheaton (shoulder) are also hurting.

If the mystifying 30-15 setback in Miami proved anything, it’s that the Steelers hardly look like a legitimate threat in the AFC with so many contributors in sweatpants and sneakers instead of cleats.

PATRIOTS: Bill Belichick is finished using tablets on the sideline.

Belichick said he “can’t take it anymore,” adding there isn’t enough consistency in the performance of the devices.

Earlier this season, Belichick was caught on camera slamming down a sideline tablet following a Bills touchdown.

Belichick said that going forward, he’s going to stick with low tech — printed images taken of plays during the game to help strategize on the sideline.

— spread the ball around.

The only player who consistently dominates under Tom Brady is Rob Gronkowski.

Others can go off at any time, but playing them week to week can be a rocky road.

■ The surprising early-season run by Steelers tight end Jesse James could be coming to an end. James scored three touchdowns in his first five games, but managed just 13 yards Sunday. He also lost quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a knee injury and tight end Ladarius Green, who signed in the offseason to be the starter, said he will be back this week against the Patriots.

Green is worth keeping your eye on as a possible pickup.

All-Star Game in Charlotte a ‘priority’ for Silver

By Steve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that returning the All-Star Game to Charlotte in 2019 is “a high priority,” provided there’s a resolution to a Nor th Carolina law that restricts the rights of LGBT people.

The NBA recently decided to move the 2017 All-Star Game to New Orleans because it didn’t believe it could successfully host the All-Star Game and related events in Charlotte under the climate created by the law known as House Bill 2.

Los Angeles hosts the game in 2018.

Silver spoke following a ceremony in Charlotte in which Hornets owner Michael Jordan unveiled the first of three refurbished neighborhood basketball courts.

“We were in an unfortunate position that we were moving the game, so for me it is a high priority given the investments in the arena, given the investments in the team that Michael and his ownership group has made, and the city and state have made in the Hornets,” Silver said.

Several concerts and sporting events have been relocated

AssociAted Press File

NBA commissioner Adam Silver speaks during a news conference last summer. from North Carolina because of HB2.

Jordan was not made available for interviews.

In a statement to the Charlotte Observer in April, Jordan said the Hornets “are opposed to discrimination in any form, and we have always sought to provide an inclusive environment.”

The law excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections. It also requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and

government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates.

Silver was reluctant to talk about what he wants to see changed with the HB2 law, but he did say that he thinks it is a misnomer to call it the “bathroom bill,” as some have dubbed it.

“The issues that we are primarily focused on are those of acceptance and inclusiveness — and the bill goes far beyond directing what bathrooms people should use,” Silver said.

“From that standpoint, it has

been misrepresented. Ultimately for us, it’s about creating the right environment, specifically for a celebratory event like our All-Star team.”

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Latta Park, Jordan spoke about recent events in Charlotte, including rioting following a police shooting of a black man last month.

“Charlotte is a very special place for me and my family,” he said. “Together me and the Hornets, and the colleagues of the Hornets, will continue to work every day to reject violence, change perceptions and restore the trust between law enforcement and the community.”

Jordan said seeing kids at the new court gave him hope for the future.

“It reminds me of the great lessons that I have learned from the great game of basketball — all of the things that the game has taught me,” he said. “How to learn. How work hard each and every day. The value of teamwork. The importance of communicating with your teammates, and how preparation and hard work and perseverance and what it teaches you every day. Winning feels great, but you can learn a lot from losing and competing.”

SPORTS IN BRIEF NBA GMs pick Warriors to beat Cavs Stanford’s McCaffrey The NBA’s general managers are expecting a uncertain to play

third straight Golden State-Cleveland matchup in this season’s NBA Finals, with the Warriors the pick to reclaim the title.

Such was the consensus from the annual poll of general managers by NBA.com. The Warriors and Cavaliers each got 97 percent of the votes cast by GMs when asked to pick the Western and Eastern conference champions.

And here’s why it wouldn’t have been unanimous: General managers were not allowed to vote for their own clubs. Boston got the other conference-title vote in the East, San Antonio got the other one in the West.

The Warriors got 69 percent of votes cast to emerge as champions for the second time in three years this season, with the defending champion Cavaliers getting the other 31 percent.

The GMs also predicted that Cleveland’s LeBron James will win his fifth MVP award. James got 47 percent of the vote, outpacing Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook (23 percent), Golden State’s two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry and Houston’s James Harden (10 percent each).

STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford coach David Shaw said running back Christian McCaffrey is feeling better and is hopeful that the 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist will be back in the lineup against Colorado on Saturday.

McCaffrey has been sidelined since suffering an undisclosed injury in the first half against Washington State on Oct. 8. He did not play in last week’s win against Notre Dame and the Cardinal (4-2, 2-2 Pac12) are continuing to take a cautious approach with him.

Shaw told reporters that McCaffrey was scheduled to do some on-field work Tuesday. He could be cleared to join practice today.

Russian weightlifter loses Olympic medal LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Russian weightlifter Apti Aukhadov was stripped of his silver medal from the 2012 London Olympics after testing positive for steroids in a reanalysis of his doping samples.

The IOC said Aukhadov tested positive for turinabol and drostanolone and has been retroactively disqualified from the London Games and ordered to return his silver medal in the 85-kilogram division.

The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years to allow them to be retested when new methods become available.

If the IOC reallocates the medals, Iran’s Kianoush Rostami is in line to be promoted to the silver, and Tarek Yehia of Egypt to the bronze.

Assange’s internet ‘temporarily restricted’ LONDON — Ecuador’s government has acknowledged that it has “temporarily restricted” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s internet access at its embassy in London after the whistleblowing site published documents from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign The foreign ministry in a statement Tuesday said that while it stands by its decision in 2012 to grant Assange asylum, it doesn’t interfere in foreign elections. Leftist President Rafael Correa’s government said it was acting on its own and not ceding to foreign pressures.

The foreign ministry didn’t specify the extent of the restrictions on Assange’s access to the internet, saying only that the restrictions on his communications wouldn’t affect WikiLeaks’ ability to carry out its journalistic activities.

Russia, Syria halt Aleppo airstrikes ahead of lull MOSCOW — Russian and Syrian warplanes halted their airstrikes on Syria’s besieged city of Aleppo on Tuesday in preparation for a temporary pause in the military push that Moscow has announced for later in the week, the Russian defense minister said.

According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the halt in the strikes should help pave way for militants to leave the eastern rebel-held parts of the contested city.

Both Russian and Syrian air raids on the northern city of Aleppo were suspended at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Shoigu said. He described the suspension as a precursor for the opening of humanitarian corridors.

Moscow on Monday announced a “humanitarian pause” between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thursday to allow civilians and militants safe passage out of the city.

At that time, Russian and Syrian militaries will halt any offensive actions.

Syrian rebels, including alQaida militants, as well as the wounded and the sick will be allowed to leave to the neighboring rebel-held province of Idlib.

S. Sudan city scorched by renewed fighting MALAKAL, South Sudan — This used to be South Sudan’s second largest city, a bustling center on the White Nile River of more than 120,000 people, many employed in the oil fields nearby.

Today Malakal is rubble and almost entirely deserted by civilians, a city emptied by three years of civil war and now by new rounds of fighting. Following clashes in the city’s outskirts last week, the army flew in journalists to show that the government retains control of the strategic city, even though rebels still vow to take it.

The army said 56 rebels and four government soldiers were killed in the fighting.

Racing through the city on the back of a pickup truck and traversing the Nile with amphibious vehicles, the soldiers still exhibited a battle high.

“I want to kill,” one soldier snarled, approaching the scene of the fighting.

Many identified the corpses of rebel fighters by their ethnicity.

Retaken villages show IS increasingly driven underground

By Susannah George and Bram Janssen Associated Press

BADANA, Iraq — This farming village east of Mosul was turned into a bunker during more than two years of Islamic State rule: A network of tunnels and cramped living quarters betrays an extremist group increasingly forced to operate underground by a punishing air campaign and mounting ter-

ritorial losses.

Wrested from IS control on the first day of the offensive to retake Iraq’s second-largest city, Badana offers a glimpse of the battle ahead. Above ground, walls were shredded by airstrikes and artillery, homes were stained black with soot and the buildings still standing had been looted.

Below ground, bags of fresh vegetables lay on the floor of a cooking area and a bowl of eggs sat beside a

h

crude stove, suggesting the fighters managed to maintain supply lines up until days before their defeat.

“They spent their lives in these tunnels,” said Tahseen Muhammed Sharif, a 35-yearold Kurdish fighter who said the Kurdish forces who drove the militants out of the village also found ammunition inside the tunnel network, which they seized.

“I can’t imagine living like this,” he added, sifting

through kitchen refuse beside a pot of chickpeas still sitting on the stove. “There is a definite difference between us and them — their behavior, it’s outside human behavior.”

A small unit of Iraqi Kurdish fighters tasked with holding the territory in and around Badana, were camped Tuesday in a field behind a row of armored vehicles on the village’s edge. While free of IS fighters, the area remains littered with dozens of booby-

trapped explosives. Kurdish fighters moving along the narrow village roads stuck to paths they had already used and walked in single file.

When Iraqi forces reach Mosul, Patrick Martin of the Institute for the Study of War in Washington said they should expect to see similar complex defenses like the tunnel networks and boobyt r ap p e d e x p l o s ive s i n Badana, but on a much greater scale.

WHY IT MATTERS The Issue

‘Stop whining’ PAblo MArtinez MonSivAiS / ASSociAted PreSS

President Barack Obama answers a question in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on Tuesday.

Obama chides Trump for fraud talk

By Kevin Freking and Kathleen Hennessey Associated Press

WASHINGTON — “Stop whining,” President Barack Obama rebuked Donald Trump on Tuesday, speaking out as seldom before on next month’s election and chiding the Republican for sowing suspicion about the integrity of America’s presidential vote.

Obama also accused Trump of cozying up to Russia’s Vladimir Putin to a degree “unprecedented in American politics.”

The president said Trump’s intensifying pre-emptive warnings about voter fraud are unheard of in modern politics.

The rhetoric is not based on any evidence, Obama said, but is simply aimed at discrediting the outcome before the first votes are counted.

“You start whining before the game is even over?” Obama said at a Rose Garden news conference. “If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else — then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job.”

Campaigning in Colorado, the GOP candidate repeated his assertions about “corrupt” elections but did not respond directly to the president. Trump vowed to “drain the swamp” in Washington, and for the first time promised to push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.

The president’s remarks came as Trump and his Republican allies look for

ways to regain momentum after a damaging few weeks in the campaign. Heading into the third and final debate Wednesday night, Trump is trailing in the polls and running out of time for a comeback before Nov. 8.

Obama waded into the race to elect a successor, speaking at the White House where he was hosting his final state visit.

Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi at his side, the president initially said he would pull his punches when it came to politics, respecting the official setting.

But when he was asked about Trump’s rhetoric, he hardly held back.

“I would invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes,” he said.

The GOP candidate has ramped up warnings about potential fraud.

That’s drawing criticism not only from Democrats but from his own party, particularly the state and county officials who run local elections, who fear the rhetoric will give losers license to dispute any results.

“They even want to try and rig the election at the polling booth, where so many cities are corrupt and you see that and voter fraud is all too common,” Trump said at a rally in Colorado Springs.

Independent studies and election officials in both parties say they see no evidence that voter fraud — individuals impersonating others to cast ballots — is a widespread problem.

There are an estimated 21.6 million veterans in the United States. Among t h e m , n e a rl y Trump 9 million are enrolled in health care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. About 4.3 million veterans get disability compensation from the VA and nearly 900,000 have been diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder.

A 2014 law signed by President Barack Obama aimed to alleviate delays many veterans faced in getting treatment at VA hospitals and clinics and end the widespread practice of fake wait lists that covered up long waits for veterans seeking health care. Two years later, many of the problems remain.

Where they stand Hillary Clinton has pledged to ensure veterans have access to timely and high-quality health care and vows to block efforts to privatize the Veterans Health Administration, the VA’s healthcare arm. Clinton also wants to bolster veterans’ benefits, including education and housing aid included in the GI bill. She would ensure that military sexual trauma is acknowledged as a disability under VA rules.

Donald Trump says he will expand programs that allow veterans to choose their doctor — regardless of whether they’re affiliated with the VA — and still receive government-paid medical care. Trump says that’s not privatized care but, he told The Associated Press, “a way of not allow-

WASHINGTON — It will take more than three clicks of the heels to preserve the ruby slippers that whisked Dorothy back to Kansas at the end of “TheWizardof Oz.” The slippers, which for more than 30 years have been one of the most beloved items at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, were crafted almost 80 years ago by the MGM Studios prop department. Like most movie props, they weren’t built to last. Now, the frayed shoes aren’t even ruby-colored anymore — they’remorelikeadullauburn.

the institution frequently solicits private and corporate contributions for major projects that its budget doesn’t cover. This is the Smithsonian’s second Kickstarter campaign. In 2015, the National Air and Space Museum raised $700,000 through the crowd-funding site to preserve the spacesuit that Neil Armstrongworewhenhewalkedon themoon.

“Thisparticularpairof ruby slippers really belongs to the American people, and so we thought as we sought support that we would invite the public tojoinusonthisjourneytohelp preserve them for the next generation,” said Melinda Machado, a museum spokeswoman.

ing people to die waiting for doctors.”

Trump also pledged to fire or discipline VA employees who fail veterans or Clinton breach the public trust. He also would increase mental health professionals and create a “White House hotline” dedicated to veterans. If a valid complaint is not addressed, “I will pick up the phone and fix it myself if I have to,” Trump said.

Why it matters Lifetime health care is part of the bargain for many of those who put their lives on the line in the armed forces, and it’s become clear the government isn’t holding up its end.

Veterans care has gained prominence since a 2014 scandal in which as many as 40 veterans died while waiting for care at a Phoenix VA hospital. Similar problems were soon discovered nationwide. Veterans waited months for care even as VA employees created secret waiting lists and other falsehoods to cover up the delays.

A law approved after the scandal broke created a program that allows veterans to seek private care at government expense, but the program is limited to veterans who have waited 30 days for an appointment or live 40 miles from a VA health center. Trump says he would vastly expand the program, calling problems at the VA under President Barack Obama “widespread and totally inexcusable.”

ford to idle plants as demand slows Ford Motor Co. is cutting production as U.S. demand for new vehicles slows, but so far, its rivals aren’t doing the same.

Ford said Tuesday it will temporarily idle four of its North American assembly plants this month to better align production with demand.

After six straight years of growth, U.S. sales of new vehicles are slowing. In the first nine months of this year, U.S. sales totaled 13.1 million new vehicles, up less than 1 percent from 2015.

But sales are still near last year’s record-high levels, and so far, Ford’s chief rivals are sticking to their production plans.

Americans are apparently still hot for home-delivered pizza: Domino’s Pizza posted a jump in sales in the last quarter, even as other fastfood companies have reported weaker sales growth.

Domino’s also reported better-than-expected thirdquarter earnings and revenue, and its shares jumped to an all-time high Tuesday.

Domino’s said that sales at U.S. stores open at least a year — considered an important measure of a retailer’s health — rose 13 percent in the last quarter from the year before.

Survey: More first-timers now buying homes

BY JOsH BOAK ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — First-time buyers may be entering the U.S. home market in greater numbers than industry watchers had assumed.

Nearly half of sales in the past year went to people who were buying their first home, according to a survey released Tuesday by the real estate firm Zillow. That’s a much higher proportion of the market than some other industry estimates had indicated.

Zillow’s survey results suggest that this year’s growth in home sales has come largely from a wave of couples in their 30s, who are the most common first-time buyers. If that trend were to hold, it could raise hopes that today’s vast generation of 18-to-34-yearold millennials will help support the housing market as more of them move into their 30s.

That’s among the findings in a 168-page report by Seattle-based Zillow. Its survey also found that home ownership is increasingly the domain of the college-educated. And it indicated that older Americans who are seeking to downsize are paying premiums for smaller houses.

Car owners slam VW emissions deal Several angry Volkswagen owners told a federal judge on Tuesday that a $10 billion settlement does not adequately compensate them for the automaker’s emissions cheating scandal, part of a vocal minority who objected to the deal as hundreds of thousands of others signed up for payments.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer will determine whether the settlement is fair to consumers and should receive final approval. He said he was “strongly inclined” to approve it but would make a final decision by Oct. 25.

An automatic co-pilot Robot pilots may someday fly planes

MANASSAS, Va. — Think of it as the airborne cousin to the self-driving car: a robot in the cockpit to help human pilots fly passengers and cargo — and eventually even replace them.

The gover nment and industry are collaborating on a program that seeks to replace the second human pilot in two-person flight crews with a robot co-pilot that never tires, gets bored, feels stressed out or gets distracted.

The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon’s arm for development of emerging technologies, and run by Aurora Flight Sciences, a private con-

Hyundai recalls Genesis Coupes Hyundai is recalling more than 84,000 cars in the U.S. because a wiring problem can cause the front passenger air bag to malfunction.

The recall covers Genesis Coupes from the 2010 to 2016 model years.

The company says in government documents that an electrical connector for the passenger seat air bag sensor can become disconnected. That can cause the air bag to inflate. Hyundai says it has no reports of injuries.

The recall is expected to start on Dec. 2.

According to a breakdown of Zillow’s findings, first-time buyers make up a larger chunk of the housing market than the real estate industry has generally thought. Fortyseven percent of purchases in the past year went to first-time buyers. Their median age was 33. By contrast, surveys from the National Association of Realtors have indicated that first-timers account for about 32 percent of all buyers.

The difference between the two surveys may stem from their methodologies. The NAR has used a mail-based survey for its annual figures, while Zillow used an online survey that might have generated more responses from younger buyers.

Adam DeSanctis, an NAR spokesman, notedthathisorganization’ssurveyoutlaterthis month will show a rising share of first-time buyers, although it remains below the historical average of 39 percent since the organization began tracking this figure in 1982.

Mr. DeSanctis also noted that government figures show home ownership among young adults is at its lowest level in history, which is why his organization is skeptical that nearly half of sales go to first-time buyers.

A biomass pellet processing facility is ready to be assembled outside Moscow next spring, bringing 10 new jobs and a new product for home heating, animal bedding and mulch.

Moscow farmer Larry Hartpence recently purchased the equipment from Enviro Energy in Wells Bridge, New York, and has it stowed on his farm on Madisonsville Road with plans to assemble it in the spring.

The facility will produce two tons of pellets per hour.

“There is no question about working and no question about us selling it,” Mr. Hartpence said.

There’s some caveats. The pelletizer will only operate with moisturelevelsbetween8and15 percent, a level that appears very dry to air and touch. The pellets, which create a considerable amount of ash, must be burned in multi-fuel furnace that accommodates greater ash levels.

Chibok leader: 100-plus girls unwilling to leave Boko Haram

By Michelle Faul and Oyekanmi Olalekan Associated Press

ABUJA, Nigeria — Nigeria’s government is negotiating the release of another 83 of the Chibok schoolgirls taken in a mass abduction two-and-ahalf years ago, but more than 100 others appear unwilling to leave their Boko Haram Islamic extremist captors, a community leader said Tuesday.

The unwilling girls may have been radicalized by Boko Haram or are ashamed to return home because they were forced to marry extremists and have babies, chairman Pogu Bitrus of the Chibok Development Association told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Bitrus said the 21 Chibok girls freed last week in the first negotiated release between Nigeria’s government and Boko Haram should be educated abroad, because they will probably face stigma in Nigeria.

The girls and their parents were reunited Sunday and are expected to meet with Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday or Wednesday, Bitrus said. Buhari flew to Germany on an official visit the day of the girls’ release.

Buhari said Monday that his government is prepared to talk with Boko Haram as long as the extremists agree to involve organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross, which was an intermediary in last week’s release.

Some 276 schoolgirls were

kidnapped from a school in northeastern Chibok in April 2014. Dozens escaped early on and at least half a dozen have died in captivity, according to the newly freed girls, Bitrus said.

All those who escaped on their own have left Chibok because, even though they were held only a few hours, they were labelled “Boko Haram wives” and taunted, he said. At least 20 of the girls are being educated in the United States.

“We would prefer that they are taken away from the community and this country because the stigmatization is going to affect them for the rest of their lives,” Bitrus said.

“Even someone believed to

have been abused by Boko Haram would be seen in a bad light.”

All Nigerian institutions and the freed girls’ communities and families must “stand strong” to “protect them from stigma, ostracization and rejection,” the U.N. special rapporteurs on the sale of children, on slavery and on the right to health said in a statement Tuesday.

One Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki, escaped in May. Chibok Parents’ Association chairman Yakubu Nkeki said the young woman has been reunited with her freed classmates, all of whom are being treated by doctors, psychologists and trauma counsellors at a hospital in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital,

run by the Department of State Security, Nigeria’s secret service.

Human rights advocates and the Bring Back Our Girls Movement have been asking if the girl is a detainee of the government and have been demanding she be allowed to return home, as she has requested.

One father of a newly freed girl, Emos Lawal, said his daughter was “praying that the rest of them have the chance to come out.”

Veterans: Groups encouraged Campaign: Trump ramped up warnings about potential fraud by increased focus on VA From Page a1 Clinton says the VA must retain “the ultimate responsibility” for veterans care. She cites the Veterans Health Administration’s leadership in areas such as prosthetics and traumatic brain injury. She promisestocreateanoversightboardto monitorqualityof care.

Veterans groups are encouraged by the increased focus on the VA, as evidenced by a recent forum that featured both Clinton and Trump. But they say the VA must do more to

improve access to health care, address veterans’ suicide and change VA’s culture to ensure real accountability.

With nearly 370,000 employees and an annual budget of nearly$167billion,theVAisthe largest civilian agency in the government, and second overall to the Defense Department.

Veterans are also a politically consequential group.

Nearly 70 percent voted in the 2012 presidential election, a higher rate than the general population.

From Page a1 Asked about Trump’s claims on Tuesday, running mate Mike Pence dodged and suggested Trump’s point actually was about the “overwhelming bias in the national media.”

Pence spoke after touring the burned-out offices of the Republican Party in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The GOP office was firebombed over the weekend in what Pence called an “act of political terrorism.” Trump pointed at Clinton supporters, but Pence did not assign blame.

Police are investigating.

Clinton held no public events Tuesday while she prepared for the debate. She has her own troubles and is certain to be asked about the latest revelations involving her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

N ew F B I d o c u m e n t s released Monday revived questions about whether she received classified information and whether State Department allies sought to protect her from criticism over the email arrangement.

The FBI notes show a State Department official asked the FBI to lower the classification of a sensitive email found on her server. The email was related to the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.

The documents revealed

discussion of a “quid pro quo” in trying to get the email reclassified, though it’s not clear who first raised the issue. Both State and FBI officials deny any bargaining took place, and the email was not declassified.

Trump called it an “elaborate and deliberate cover-up” and called for the State Department official, Undersecretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, to be fired.

The Republican is hoping to turn the conversation away from the allegations of sexual misconduct that partly dominated his last debate against Clinton.

In an interview with Fox News aired Tuesday, Melania Trump vouched for her husband and blamed the accusations on political rivals:

“They want to damage the presidency of my husband, and it was all planned, it was all organized from the opposition.”

Her comments carried echoes of Clinton’s allegations of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” organized to raise similar allegations against her husband two decades ago. Trump notably tried to revive Bill Clinton’s history by inviting his accusers to the last debate. His guest list for Wednesday’s faceoff in Las Vegas includes Pat Smith, whose son, Sean Smith, was killed in the attack in Benghazi. Smith was a featured speaker at the Republican National Convention, where she delivered an emotional speech blaming Clinton for her son’s death.
