Celebrating a milestone

Sundance Vacations receives citation for 25 years in business

By Denise Allabaugh staff Writer

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — John and Tina Dowd started Sundance Vacations as a s m a l l c o m p a ny i n t h e Poconos 25 years ago with just a single employee.

Since then, the business has grown to include more than 400 employees across 10 locations.

Several employees gathered on the front steps of Sundance Vacations’ corporate headquarters in Wilkes-Bar re Township on Wednesday as state officials presented a citation to the owners to recognize their 25 years in business.

State Sen. David Argall, R-Schuylkill County; state R e p s . D o y l e H e f f l e y, R-Carbon County; and Jer ry Knowles, R-Tamaqua; and Liz O’Brien Gorski, a representative of state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, honored the business for the milestone.

“It’s just really wonderful to see folks who have been successful through hard work and dedication,” Heffley said.

Woman found guilty of poisoning son’s girlfriend wins appeal of conviction

Work begins at former manufactured gas plant UGI Utilities Inc. has begun work to restore the site of a former manufactured gas plant and create a parking lot and greenway area in Nanticoke.

Over the last two weeks, UGI has prepared the site and is set to begin the restoration phase of the project.

The site, located at North Walnut and Arch streets, is being tested, cleaned and restored over the next four months.

UGI has been working with representatives from Nanticoke and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to improve the site conditions and develop a beneficial use for the property.

Manufactured gas plants were common through urban areas of the United States from the late 19th Century through the middle of the 20th Century. UGI has successfully restored several of these sites in the state. There is no known impact to public water or health at this location, according to UGI. In previous work at the site, UGI conducted soil and water testing and determined the scope of restoration work to be performed.

Residents and drivers traveling in area should note that lane restrictions may be in effect during the project as equipment moves in and out of the work area. Motorists driving through the construction zone are urged to watch for roadwork signs and to follow the directions of flag personnel.

2 W-B schools go into ‘lockout’ emergency procedure

will be able to use any of that evidence,” Flora said, requesting that Helen Galli be released on her own recognizance.

The contested evidence is testimony by Simyan that shortly before she fell ill, her boyfriend handed her a drink and said, “My mother said, ‘Drink this, it will make you feel better.’”

D u ri n g a h e ar i n g i n June, Sklarosky testified he didn’t seek to keep that statement out of the courtroom because it wasn’t part of a strate g y that included portraying Simyan as a heavy drinker who had attempted suicide in the past and poisoned herself to keep Helen Galli from coming between her and Victor Galli.

Pierantoni, however, found that failure amounted to ineffective counsel because the statement was so damaging and went to the heart of the prosecution’s case.

P ro s e c u t o r s h ave

appealed Pierantoni’s ruling, arguing Sklarosky was ef fective in his defense of Helen Galli and that it is improper to second-guess his strate g y after the fact.

I n c o u r t We d n e s d ay, Assistant District Attorney Jim McMonagle argued that Helen Galli’s bail was set at $25,000 the first time around and that bail now should be comparable because of the serious nature of the allegations.

“There’s really no change in the underlying facts of the case,” McMonagle said, urging the judge to reject the defense request for nonmonetary bail.

Pierantoni agreed to set bail at $25,000, the same as Helen Galli had prior to her first trial. The judge also ordered Helen Galli to have no contact with Simyan. jhalpin@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2058, @cvjimhalpin

Girl, 12, hit in leg by stray bullet in triple shooting

PHILADELPHIA — Authorities say a 12-year-old girl was shot and wounded by a stray bullet in a north Philadelphia shooting that left two other men injured.

Police say gunfire broke out just before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the city’s Fairhill neighborhood. The girl was leaving a corner store when police say she was shot in the right leg and taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Authorities say a 23-year-old man is in critical condition after he was shot in the neck and a 31-year-old man is in stable condition from being shot in the ankle.

Police haven’t released a motive for the shooting.

No charges have been filed.

he or she is entitled to relief, including the right to bail.

Helen Galli testified briefly for bail purposes that if she is released she will live with her son in Wyoming and resume collecting the $1,000 per month Social Security pension she had prior to her conviction.

Her poor health, she said, involves a break to her hip and femur she sustained at State Correctional Institution Cambridge. She did not specify how she suffered the injuries.

Flora noted that prior to her conviction, Helen Galli was free on bail and attended all of her hearings. He also noted that Pierantoni’s ruling on Helen Galli’s conviction “went to the core of the prosecution case” and questioned whether Helen Galli will be convicted a second time.

WILKES-BARRE — A police investigation of two men shooting BB guns in a soccer field sent two schools into an emergency procedure on Wednesday.

Wilkes-Barre Area superintendent Brian Costello said Kistler Elementary and Meyers High School followed a “lockout” procedure Wednesday morning while police responded to reports of two men shooting rifles in the area of the soccer fields along Gordon Avenue around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Costello said classes ran normally throughout the lockout procedure and security monitored all entrances to the school.

Police said the two men ran from the scene while responding officers received information about the incident.

The officers later located Travis Horst, 20, of Wilkes-Barre, and another male trying to hide in a field near Barney Farms.

Horst admitted to shooting a BB gun near the soccer fields and had a rifle-style BB gun with him, police said.

Horst was cited for disorderly conduct.

The lockout was lifted by 10 a.m., Costello said.

WILKES-BARRE — After serving 1,000 days in prison for poisoning her son’s girlfriend, Helen Galli on Wednesday took off the jumpsuit and walked free on bail.

After winning an appeal of her aggravated assault conviction, the 84-year-old on Wednesday won a petition for bail. Her son quickly posted 10 percent of her $25,000 bond, and she was whisked out of the Luzerne County Correctional Facility to a waiting tr uck shortly before 5 p.m.

Neither Galli nor her son, Victor Galli, would comment about her release.

Galli began serving a 5½- to 12-year sentence in December 2013 after a jury convicted her of aggravated assault for poisoning her son’s girlfriend, Dawn Simyan, in what prosecutors said was a jealous attempt to hold on to her son’s love and money. Prosecutors alle ged that in March 2010, Helen Galli spiked a glass of berry-flavored Juicy Juice with antifreeze and passed it to Simyan.

But Luzer ne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III in July vacated the conviction, finding that her t r i a l at t o r n e y, Jo s e p h Sklarosky Sr., was ineffective for failing to seek the exclusion of a key incriminating hearsay statement.

Her appellate attorney, Al Flora Jr., argued that with her conviction set aside, Helen Galli — a grandmother of “advanced age and in poor health” — should be entitled to the same rights as any other pre-trial defendant. Prosecutors, who are appealing Pierantoni’s ruling, countered that county judges do not have jurisdiction to set bail during the appeals process.

During a hearing Wednesday, Pierantoni sided with Flora, saying the law is clear that once a defendant wins an appeal,

Mexico angry at leader’s ‘humiliating’ meeting

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks about his immigration policy during a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center on Wednesday.

Trump insists Mexico will pay for border wall in speech Dispute clouds candidate’s Mexican visit

By Steve Peoples and Christopher Sherman Associated Press

PHOENIX — In his longawaited immigration policy s p e e c h We d n e s d ay, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continued to h insist that ROAD TO Mexico will THE WHITE pay for the HOUSE wall he h wants to build along the length of the southern border.

His declaration came hours after Trump met with Mexico’s president earlier Wednesday. Trump said they did not discuss who would pay for the massive wall that has been at the center of Trump’s campaign. But President Enrique Peña Nieto said he reiterated to Trump that Mexico would not be pay-

ing for the wall.

On Wednesday night, Trump said in his speech that Mexico will pay for the wall, “100 percent.” He added, “They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for” it.

The Republican candidate said the nation’s immigration policy must focus on what is best for American citizens, not those living in the country illegally.

“There is only one core issue in the immigration debate and that issue is the well-being of the American people,” Trump said.

Still, he said that he intends to treat “everyone living or residing” in the country with “great dignity.”

Trump also accused President Barack Obama and his rival Hillary Clinton of engaging in a “gross dereliction of duty” for supporting more liberal immigration policies.

He said that Clinton talks about the families that would be separated if people in the country illegally were deported, but she doesn’t talk about families impacted negatively by ille-

gal immigration.

Just days ago, Trump was praising the number of people deported under the Obama administration.

E a r l i e r We d n e s d a y, Trump — on Mexican soil for the first time as the Republican presidential nominee — defended the right of the United States to build a massive border wall along its southern flank, standing up for the centerpiece of his immigration plan in a country where he is widely despised.

But within hours of Trump’s visit, a dispute arose over the most contentious part of the billionaire’s plans to secure the U.S. southern border — his insistence that Mexico must pay to build that wall.

When answering questions from adjacent lecterns before a Mexican flag after his meeting at the official residence of the country’s president, Enrique Pena Nieto, Trump said Wednesday the two men didn’t discuss who would pay for a cost of construction pegged in the billions.

Silent at that moment,

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s president was savaged on social media and in political circles following his joint press conference Wednesday with Donald Trump, with many seeing a national humiliation in his welcoming of a man who has derided migrants as rapists and criminals.

President Enrique Pena Nieto said Mexicans felt “aggrieved” and had disagreements with the Republican presidential candidate, but he never did what people here wanted most: demand that Trump apologize. Adding to the anger, in the press conference Trump repeated his promise to build a border wall between the countries.

“Trump can leave at ease now. The humiliation was complete,” Televisa news anchor Carlos Loret de Mola tweeted, after lamenting that Trump would dare to reiterate his intention to build a wall “in our face and home.”

And writer Angeles Mastretta wrote on her Twitter account that Mexicans saw “what was expected: a president who isn’t capable of demanding apologies ... how sad.”

While Trump tried mend fences by calling MexicanAmericans “spectacular” and “amazing,” and arguing that illegal immigration and the flight of manufacturing jobs were hurting Mexicans as well as Americans, his words did little to win hearts and minds south of the border.

Mexico security analyst Alejandro Hope called the meeting “a disaster.”

“Trump didn’t alter his positions one little bit,” Hope said. “He just dressed them up a little in less incendiary language.” Of Pena Nieto, Hope said “in the end, he gave Trump an opportunity to show off, while getting nothing in return. Good work, guys.”

Many Mexicans were disappointed and disgusted that Trump was invited at all.

After all, Mexicans have already made — and beaten to pulp — pinatas of Trump.

They created a video game in which players can throw soccer balls, cactus leaves and tequila bottles at a cartoon image of Trump.

But when the man himself came to Mexico, he was treated with kid gloves and given a warm reception at the presidential residence. The meeting may end up hurting Pena Nieto, whose popularity is already at an all-time low near 20 percent, according to recent polls.

Former President Vicente Fox said that Trump was trying to boost his sagging campaign. “He fooled him (Pena Nieto) ... he’s using him to try to recover lost votes.”

Artist Arturo Meade joined one of the few small protests prior to the meeting with his 2½-year old son Mariano, and shook his head in disgust.

“This is an insult and a betrayal,” he said. “What can this meeting bring us, except surrealism in all its splendor?”

Pena Nieto later tweeted, “At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall.”

With the meeting held behind closed doors, it was impossible to know who was telling the truth. But the difference in how Trump and Pena Nieto recalled their talk was an example of the political risk taken on by two unpopular politicians who arrived at the meeting having spent months quarreling from afar.

Trump began his campaign by deriding Mexico as a source of rapists and criminals, and piled on in the months to come as he attacked Mexico over free trade, illegal immigration and border security. Pena Nieto responded by condemning T r ump’s lan guage, saying those were the sort of words that gave rise to Adolf Hitler.

Pena Nieto did not repeat such criticism Wednesday, but acknowledged Trump’s comments had “hurt and DArio LoPez-MiLLs / AssociAteD Press affected Mexicans.”

“The Mexicans deserve Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump walks everyone’s respect,” he with Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto at the said. presidential residence in Mexico City on Wednesday.

Former Coughlin administrator loses appeal

By James Halpin Staff Writer

WILKES-BARRE — Former Coughlin High School administrator Stephen Stahl on Wednesday lost an appeal about whether he can appeal his conviction on child corruption charges.

Stahl, 49, of Hunlock Creek, was accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student when he was a 37-year-old teacher in 2004. His conviction got him fired and landed him in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for a little more than six months.

Stahl failed to file a timely appeal and later sought to file one past the deadline, arguing he had not been able to reach a lawyer from the county jail. Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough, however, denied his request, finding that Stahl failed to do enough to secure appellate representation.

The filing is the latest in a torrent of legal machinations kicked off by Stahl’s misdeeds with his teenage fling.

Talen Energy abandons plans for new power plant

By Bill Wellock Staff Writer

SALEM TWP. — Plans for another nuclear power plant in Luzerne County are off.

Talen Energy, which owns the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station nuclear power plant in Salem Township, withdrew its application for another power plant next to the existing one.

PPL Bell Bend, LLC filed an application Oct. 10, 2008 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build the new plant. The facility would have been called the Bell Bend Nuclear Power Plant.

In a press release Wednesday, Talen Energy said it sent a letter to the NRC to withdraw its license application.

“Talen Energy sees no viable path to obtaining a license for Bell Bend,” spokesman Todd L. Martin wrote.

AREVA, the company that designed the reactor that was planned for the Bell Bend plant, asked the NRC in February 2015 to suspend the safety review of its reactor design.

Talen Energy still completed an environmental impact statement in March, which is a necessary step toward apply-

‘Talen Energy sees no viable path to obtaining a license for Bell Bend.’

Todd L. MarTin Talen Energy spokesman ing for a nuclear power plant.

The announcement that the company will halt its plans comes shortly after a private investment firm bought the company. Riverstone Holdings helped create Talen Energy from PPL Energy Corporation in June 2015. In June 2016, Riverstone announced it would buy all remaining shares of Talen Energy stock.

“The decision to withdraw the Bell Bend license application has no effect on the com- Talen Energy owns the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Salem Township. pany’s long-term commitment to safe, reliable operation of the Susquehanna plant,” Martin wrote.

Valley West asks court to toss sex assault suit filed by parent

By Eric Mark Staff Writer

KINGSTON — Wyoming Valley West School District wants a federal judge to dismiss a suit filed by a parent who alle ges her daughter was the victim of a sexual assault by two kindergarten boys.

The girl’s mother did not have standing to file the suit on her daughter’s b e h a l f, a c c o rd i n g t o a motion filed Wednesday by Scranton-based attorneys Robin Snyder and Robert Aldrich III, of the law firm Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin.

The woman filed a suit against the district last month in federal court.

She alleged that her younger daughter, a kindergarten student at the time, was “physically and emotionally assaulted” in a coat closet at Schuyler Elementary School on Nov. 8, 2013 by two boys also in kindergarten.

The boys’ conduct created a “hostile environment based on sex,” the complaint alleges. School officials also failed to observe

that the boys’ older brothers might have been in a position to contact the girl’s older sister, according to the complaint.

The girl, who began having trouble sleeping and g rew ir ritable, was removed from school along with her sister because their mother had lost “all confidence in school officials’ handling of the incident,” the complaint states.

The district violated the girl’s rights under Title IX, a f e d e r a l l aw wh i c h requires gender equity in public schools, according to the complaint.

Wyoming Valley West maintains that the provisions of Title IX prevent the plaintiff from making claims on behalf of her minor daughter, according to the motion filed Wednesday.

“Parents of a student whose rights were allegedly violated do not have standing to assert personal claims under Title IX,” the district’s motion states.

Also, the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure states

that “an action must be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest,” the motion continues.

The motion also cites case precedent to assert that “a parent’s ability to recover damages for their own independently pled claim ... is limited to situations involving the death of a child or the termination of parental rights.”

Since the plaintiff brought the suit in her own name, the complaint is invalid, the district alleges.

“As plaintiff does not have standing to assert individual claims, this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction and, thus, the complaint must be dismissed with prejudice,” the district’s motion states.

The plaintiff, who is not being named to protect her daughter’s identity, seeks damages of more than $75,000.

Prosecutors said Faurelus’ story changed several times, and a witness also testified that he had been d r iv i n g w i t h Fa u re l u s when Faurelus told him t o “ s t o p t h e c a r. ” Moments later, the witn e s s h e a rd t h re e g u n shots.

Faurelus was convicted of fatally shooting Christy Aristide at Moyallen and Grove streets in Wilkes-Barre in October 2008.

Faurelus testified that he shot Aristide during a panicked struggle after Aristide robbed him of $1,400.

Legislative panel hears testimony on opioid crisis

By David Singleton Staff Writer

SCRANTON — The architect of Lackawanna County’s treatment court system called on a legislative panel studying Pennsylvania’s opioid crisis to come up with a mechanism to allow families of addicts to force them into treatment.

In sometimes impassioned testimony before the state House Joint Policy Committee on Wednesday, Lackawanna County President Judge Michael J. Barrasse also urged more funding for treatment court programs, calling them the single most effective intervention tool the criminal justice system has to address addiction andpreventrecidivism.

“We cannot simply lock up the addicts and expect the underlying disease to vanish,” Barrasse said. “We must — must — provide the proper level of care and treatment.”

The judge was among eight witnesses who provided testimony to the committee at the Scranton Hilton and Conference Center during the hearing hosted by state Rep. Marty Flynn, D-Scranton.

The hearing was the seventh in a series being held across the state as lawmakers grapple

State government taking sound approach to opioid crisis. Page 14 with ways to combat the heroin and prescription drug epidemicthatkillsbetweennineand10 Pennsylvanians every day.

Barrasse told the committee he receives calls daily from distraught parents who have a child addicted to heroin and don’t know what to do.

“The family has to watch them die in front of them or hope they get arrested or bring down charges to the district attorney and say, ‘They stole from us,’” the judge said. “Now the criminal justice system is being used as a punitive tool for a clinical disease.”

Just as the legislature in 1966 enacted Section 302 of the mental health law that provides for the involuntary commitment of individuals who are a threat tothemselvesorothersbecause of mental illness, it can do somethingsimilar“forafamily who has a person struggling with addiction,” he said.

“It’s not really complicated,” he told the committee. “It’s a matter of having the willpower to enforce something like that on our society.”

Jake Danna StevenS / timeS-Shamrock

State Department of Health Secretary Karen Murphy, Ph.D., and Gary Tennis, secretary of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, outline ongoing initiatives to battle the state’s opioid crisis at the Hilton Scranton and Conference Center on Wednesday.

Similarly, there needs to be a procedure that allows for the voluntary or involuntary treatment for individuals who are brought to a hospital emergency room after receiving naloxone, a medication that safely reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, Barrasse said.

As it stands now, that individual is released to go home — something a physician would not permit if the person suffered a heart attack or stroke, he said.

“Apersonwithanunderlying condition has to be treated,”

Barrasse said. “We simply can’t allow that diseased person to walkoutthedoor.”

With respect to treatment court funding, he said research shows for every $1 spent on treatment court programs, there is an $8 savings in criminal justice and health care costs.

Despitethat,theprogramsserve only a fraction of the people whocouldbenefitfromthem.

“If they were properly funded, we could easily quadruple just in Lackawanna County the size of the treatment court in one year,” he said.

Murphy said the state’s new Prescription Monitoring Database Program, which allows physicians to recognize potentially inappropriate opioid use by checking whether a patient recentlyhadaprescriptionfilled from another provider, already has more than 85,000 patient searches since it became operationallastThursday.

Both she and Tennis discussed the “warm hand-off” policy their departments are developing. It would provide for overdose survivors to be taken directly from a hospital emergency department to a licensed treatment provider.

Lackawanna County District Attorney Shane Scanlon, in addition to speaking about his office’sHeroinHitsHomeinitiative, asked lawmakers to restore mandatory minimum sentences for high-level drug dealers and those who pose a risk to law enforcement officers when they are executing a search warrant ormakingatrafficstop.

“We need to put those people away,” Scanlon said.

Mara Ely, 2, of Allentown, runs with a balloon on the first day of the Wyoming County Community Fair in Meshoppen on Wednesday.

With new name, Wyoming County fair ushers in new offerings

By Robert L. Baker Staff Writer

MESHOPPEN TWP. — Amidst farm animals, dancing pigs and a high wire act, the Wyoming County Community Fair opened with a 1,000-balloon release Wednesday to remember lives lost to drug overdoses.

While others spoke of the treats that await fairgoers, local organizer John Fabiseski paid homage Wednesday evening during the formal opening ceremonies to the county’s “sons and daughters who are now in the arms of angels” and pledged an effort from young people in recovery to turn that around “so we can all have a fun time at the fair.”

It was just one of many new happenings to signal a change in the fair’s name.

For 30 years, the event was a major service project of the Tunkhannock Kiwanis Club and known as the Kiwanis Wyoming County Fair.

County Commissioner Tom Henry said he liked a new veterans pavilion and s o m e o f t h e ch a n g e s, acknowledging the fair board’s great job in organizing six days of entertainment.

The day was chock full of activity with a truck pull,

Fair board secretary Pam Burke said none of it would be possible without several hundred volunteers working behind the scenes.

She also acknowledged a new museum exhibit tracing the county fair history from 1857, with most of the emphasis on how the local fair grew over the last 30 years under the watchful eyes of the Kiwanis.

Just after the balloon release, Tunkhannock Area High School senior Sabrina Traver was crowned the 2016 queen, with Asha Kyttle

In the 26th annual 5K Wisnoski Jewelers Gem Run, Ben Tidball, a TAHS grad now at Liberty University, was the first to cross the finish line; Lyann Lorenz was the first female to finish.

The fair resumes Thursday with tractor pulls at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., and a junior fair queen contest at 6 p.m.

On Saturday night, country music artists Sammy Kershaw, Collin Raye and Joe Diffie will be in concert as part of a “Roots ‘n Boots” tour.

The fair runs through Labor Day and is located just off U.S. Route 6, west of Meshoppen. bbaker@wcexaminer.com

Police: Man accused of attacking neighbor threatens to rape female officer

By Sarah Scinto Staff Writer

PITTSTON TWP. — A township man who allegedly chopped down his neighbor’s tree and attacked another neighbor also threatened to rape a female township police officer, police said.

Raymond Mazzarella, 51, was charged Wednesday with counts of making terroristic threats and harassment after a friend approached police about posts on Mazzarella’s Facebook page where the man appeared to threaten the officer.

Detective Charles Balogh found a post on Mazzarella’s page dated Aug. 17 that said the township officer was going to “get raped.”

PittstonTownshippoliceSgt. Lena Angelella contacted Balogh about a post that made her feel specifically threatened on Aug. 22. Police said Mazzarella targeted Angelella in a Facebook post, saying he understands a “female Pittston Twp Cop” was “sick” of him and “wanted to do something about it.”

Mazzarella threatened to harm Angelella, writing, “You act like a man, I will treat you like a man right up until the

moment I rape you.”

Angelella had responded with another officer to an incident at Mazzarella’s Oak Street residence on Aug. 20 when he chopped down his neighbor’s tree, causing it to fall onto the apartment building where he lived as one of five tenants.

Angelella said Mazzarella became verbally confrontational with her during her investigation of that incident.

Mazzarella was also charged

for a wooden bat and struck Latwiss several times. Witnesses on the scene verified the assault, police said.

Mazzarella has been accused of threatening police officers in the past. According to records, he was arrested in 2011 after posting threatening messages toward former Scranton police Chief Dan Duffy on his Facebook page.

While living in Scranton in 2013, Mazzarella was jailed on $1 million bail for threatening to stab a city police officer with abayonet,repeatedlyharassing a Lackawanna County judge and threatening to blow up a school bus.

He was also arrested in 2012 for punching a Mall at Steamtown security guard in the face, records show.

Mazzarella was in Luzerne County prison on $50,000 bail for the threats and $25,000 related to the assault. Preliminary hearingsinbothincidentswere scheduled for Oct. 5 at 9:30 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge Alexandra KokuraKravitz. sscinto@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2048, @sscintoCV

BELLEFONTE (AP) — A Pennsylvania corrections officer has been charged after a drug-detecting police dog in his care died last month after it was left in a hot vehicle for 2½ hours during a training exercise.

State police said Tuesday that Sgt. Chad Holland has been charged with animal cruelty in the July 7 death of 2-year-old Totti at the state prison at Rockview near Bellefonte in Centre County.

PennLive.com reports dog handlers tried to cool the yellow Labrador with a water hose and ice after they realized he was locked in the car, but the dog later died.

An online petition urging the Department of Corrections to fire Holland was started after the dog’s death.

It’s unclear if he has an attorney who can comment on the charges.

A sound approach to opioid crisis

A public health crisis inevitably produces reams of data and statistics, which are necessary to assess the nature of the problem and diminish the risks.

That is true of the nationwide opioid addiction crisis.

Every day in the United States, for example, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: 78 people die from opioid overdoses; more than 650,000 new opioid prescriptions are dispensed; 3,900 people begin using opioids for nonmedical purposes; and 580 people begin using heroin. Annually, according to HHS, the addiction crisis consumes $55 billion in health and social costs, beyond $20 billion in direct costs for emergency and inpatient treatment.

The addiction crisis is unique and more challenging than many other complex public health crises. It is not a communicable disease traceable to a particular pathogen.

There is no vaccine, no isolation mechanism to contain the disease. The problem is not just medically defeating a particular overdose, but in addressing the innumerable factors that lead each individual to the point of that overdose.

That’s why the Wolf administration’s approach to combating opioid addiction in Pennsylvania is sound.

The state government has taken sound steps to diminish the death toll. The legislature has authorized first responders, rather than medical personnel alone, to administer life-saving naloxone to people experiencing overdoses. And the administration expanded on that to make naloxone available, free, to anyone.

Now the administration has taken the next step by going after the root problems. It has established more than 20 “centers of excellence” statewide, including the Wright Center Medical Group and CleanSlate Addiction Treatment Center in Northeastern Pennsylvania, to go beyond initial treatment.

The centers will strive to break addiction not only through initial treatment, but to address each patient’s mental and physical health issues, social and financial situations and related factors that litter the path to addiction.

It’s a comprehensive approach to a particularly daunting problem that will produce results, person by person, even amid grim statistics.

You’re only guilty of talking too much

By James Duane Los Angeles Times TNS

Someday soon, when you least expect it, a police officer may receive mistaken information from a confused eyewitness or a liar, or circumstantial evidence that helps persuade him that you might be guilty of a very serious crime.

When confronted with police officers and other government agents who suddenly arrive with a bunch of questions, most innocent people mistakenly think to themselves, “Why not talk? I haven’t done anything. I have nothing to hide. What could possibly go wrong?”

Well, among other things, you could end up confessing to a crime you didn’t commit. The problem of false confessions is not an urban legend. It is a documented fact.

Indeed, research suggests that the innocent may be more susceptible than the culpable to deceptive police interrogation tactics, because they tragically assume that somehow “truth and justice will prevail” later even if they falsely admit their guilt. Nobody knows for sure how often innocent people make false confessions, but as Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski recently observed, “Innocent interrogation subjects confess with surprising frequency.”

It happens especially in cases when the suspect is young and vulnerable. An analysis of 125 proven false confessions found that 33 percent of the suspects were juveniles at the time of arrest, and at least 43 percent were either mentally disabled or ill. Another study of 340 exonerations found that 13 percent of adults falsely confessed compared to 42 percent of juveniles. And nearly half of the exonerated children were put behind bars because of something they said to police without an attorney present.

In Oakland, California, police isolated and interrogated a 16-year-old named Felix in the middle of the night without a lawyer and denied his requests to see his mother. Eventually he gave them a detailed, videotaped confession to a murder, allegedly filled with numerous specifics only the real killer would have known. At that point, it looked like

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T14] | 08/31/16

there was little chance this young man would be able to avoid a conviction; when a jury hears that someone has confessed, they are almost certain to convict. But fortunately for young Felix, it was later revealed that he had an airtight alibi: He had been locked up in a juvenile detention facility the day of the killing. The charges were dismissed, and he was released from jail.

Eddie Lowery was a 22-year-old soldier stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas, when he was interrogated for an entire workday about a rape and murder he never committed. Like a typical innocent man, he persisted for hours in emphatic assertions of innocence. Like typical police officers, the interrogators acted open-minded and unconvinced. Perhaps, he foolishly hoped, he might persuade them of his innocence if he repeated his story over and over again at greater and greater length. After the daylong interrogation, he was worn out and gave them a detailed confession.

He served more than 20 years in prison until he was recently released, after evidence proved that he was actually innocent.

So why in the world did Lowery confess, when we now know that he was innocent all along? He explained the mindset of someone who has been broken down by hours of relentless interrogation: “I didn’t know any way out of that, except to tell them what they wanted to hear, and then get a lawyer to prove my innocence. You’ve never been in a situation so intense, and you’re naive about your rights.

You don’t know what (someone) will say to get out of that situation.”

One analysis of 44 proven false-confession cases revealed that more than a third of the interrogations lasted six to 12 hours, many lasted between 12 and 24 hours, and the average length was more than 16 hours. The longer you speak to police officers, the more likely it is that you will confess to some crime that you did not commit — isn’t that enough of a reason to avoid speaking to them?

Don’t talk to the police — except to tell them, respectfully, that you will not answer any questions and that you would like a lawyer.

Teachers should make curriculum relevant with work-based learning gather information to use in the Williamsport program. It was a work-based, hands-on approach where absolutely nothing was taught that was not relevant to the task at hand. These were students functioning at the third-grade level, attendance and discipline problems. We had students in manufacturing environments, six at the Muncy hospital learning health related activities. Successful?

Peter Jennings of the America Agenda news report thought so as they featured the program for five minutes on their national broadcast. The Smithsonian Magazine thought so, they featured the students, participating business and industry partners in a five-page spread in their nationally published journal.

President Bill Clinton thought so as he met the students in the Rose Garden and presented two students with awards. Remember we are talking students with very low academic skills, students from broke n h o m e s, s t u d e n t s w i t h diverse ethnic backgrounds.

You know the students from Wilkes-Barre Area School District that ranked 443rd out of 501 school districts? The Sears and Roebuck Corporation sponsored a program for the same type students, but it was all inhouse education; similar however as it was based on relevancy. No student was ever asked to learn something without being told why. Every student dressed for success, boys in shirt and ties, girls in dresses. They were taught day one to respect the

teachers and administrators.

When any teacher entered the room or the building administrator or a visitor, every student stood up. On the flip side, the student was provided the same respect from the teachers and administration. They were consistently rewarded for good behavior and academic accomplishments.

But, we need not go to Germany. We need only to visit successful programs at our local Career & Technology Centers.

Vocational-technical education programs are the best example of “work-based lear ning.”

Check the academic grades, atten da nce an d di sci pl ine records of students prior to enrolling in the career centers.

Yes they will learn to fix a car, run a lathe, and take a person’s blood pressure. You will also need to see the major improvement in their academic skills, because you can’t fix a car, run a lathe or take a blood pressure test without knowing the related academic skills.

It is true that the students want to learn the academics because they want to do the hands on activities. Teachers, most from business and industry are told that they must teach the academics related to their occupation. Here is something to think about, academic teachers would do well to implement what the tech teachers do in making their curriculum relevant; work-based lear ning.

Hope this helped Cody.

With golf team cut from LCCC, what is next to go?

WB_VOICE - DLY - 15 - 09/01/16

A no-go.

So, this term I have the full 12 credits, and sent off an email to the golf coach (with a copy of my latest scorecard from Blue Ridge to document my prowess).

I heard back from him in a couple days. I admit I was scared I was going to be rejected. And I was.

But, not because I might not have the skill required, but because, the coach informed me, the LCCC golf team had been dropped.

What? I didn’t see that on the student intranet.

I didn’t see that in The Citizens’ Voice. I didn’t hear that on the local TV stations. I heard all about the new Scranton campus. But, nothing about dropping the golf team, who just happened to win their division in the spring.

What else are they dropping?

If I hadn’t asked, I never would have known about the golf team.

I’m studying art. Is that the next to go?

Football player should not use employer’s platform to protest Editor: The Chicago Tribune printed that Colin Kaeper nick is exercising his right to not stand for and take pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and he is using his platfor m as a football player to make his point.

When he is doing this little sit down of his, he is not using his platform, but using the platform of his employer and the platform of everyone that bought a ticket to this game.

Unless it states on the ticket that every ticket holder might be subjected to see Colin Kaepernick’s personal opinions on life, his only platfor m should be football and only football.

He is on the clock of the 49ers, and the fans that bought tickets to see football, not political opinions.

He is a football entertainer and people that paid for a ticket expect to be entertained by football, not his views on life.

As with every American, he has the right to protest, but he needs to take it to a street corner or lease his own football stadium for a day and sell tickets to the people that want to pay for the glorious event of watching someone sitting on their backside while our national anthem plays and the people that do not agree with him could stay home.

The principles of what our flag stands for have not changed over the years, and if he chooses to disrespect it he should stay in the locker room until the game starts and not show disrespect to all of the people that bought tickets or the ones at home that will be buying the products that the advertisers pay good money to bring these games to our TVs.

Editor: Right up front, I’ll acknowledge I’m not always the sharpest tack, but to participate in college sports at Luzerne County Community College, you must be a full-time (12 credits or more) student.

Last term I had 11. I could have taken a 1 credit bowling course.

How much would that add to my load?

Anyway, I contacted the golf coach about getting on the golf team, and he graciously mentioned the 12 credit requirement.

Editor: How refreshing, someone requests information on how even the lowest ranked students can succeed. I have been telling the Williamsport story to individuals and groups for over 10 years, in four states; teachers, administrators and yes even board members. Seriously, no one has ever said “Doc, can you give me more infor mation!”

Then came along an aspiring young man who wants to be on the board of education. He states, “Can you tell me more about how you got low-achieving students to work in the field? I’d like to write about it.

Thanks, Cody.” My theory is that Cody is preparing his platform. I repeat, how refreshing.

A board candidate interested in a seat on the board wants information on student achievement, who is running for a seat where the district’s students are ranked near the bottom of 501 school districts. He didn’t select the topic of neglected school facilities. He prioritized selecting students to come first. He is aware of my facility construction and consulting background and eventually he will seek my assistance on that subject.

I told Cody there are two important components, curriculum, and second, how that curriculum is presented. The Williamsport educational leaders decided to implement a program for low-achieving students, a program patter ned after the Mercedes apprenticeship program. They sent four teachers to the Mercedes plant in Ger many to observe and

Misericordia University has been recognized as one of the top colleges and universities in the northeastern United States, according to The Princeton Review, an education services company.

The colleges are selected for the list based on their “excellent academics” and the results of a survey of students by The Princeton Review on their campus experiences as well as how they rated various aspects of their college life, according to the website.

The Princeton Review editors made their selections based on data the company collected from its survey of 143,000 students at several hundred colleges in each region regarding 84 questions about their school’s academics, administration, student body, and themselves.

Misericordia students acknowledged the university’s programs in the health sciences, including medical imaging, sonography, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and offerings in business and teacher education.

The Princeton Review tallied the scores based on institutional data it obtained from the school and/or student survey data.

Each suit in a deck of cards contains five honors: ace, king, queen, jack and 10. It also has nine spot-cards, the 10 doing double duty. The honors win most of the tricks, but having useful spot-cards, especially those 10s and nines, may be critical to success for one side or the other.

In this deal, North barrels his partner into six spades. How should South plan the play after West leads the heart jack to dummy’s ace?

North’s auction was unscientific, but could you and your partner have checked the club situation? When the dummy came down, declarer

THE CITIZENS' VOICE

Happy birthday Do what makes the most sense to you. Practicality will help you keep situations from getting blown out of proportion. The more time spent on self-improvement, networking and improving your health, the easier it will be to deal with any outside influences that surface.

realized that he had to hold his club losers to one, which looked difficult with no useful spot-cards.

It was unlikely that West had the king and queen, because he probably would have led the club king, not the heart jack. South hoped that East had a singleton or doubleton king or queen. (Yes, West might have had doubleton king-10 or queen-10, but South would have had to guess correctly if West unblocked his royal on the first round of the suit.)

Declarer cashed dummy’s spade ace and took his three red-suit winners. Then he played a club to dummy’s ace. No honor appeared, but South returned to his hand with a spade and led another club, covering West’s 10 with dummy’s jack. Yes, it lost to East’s king, but on his red-suit return, declarer sluffed his last club and ruffed on the board.

Girl feels pressure to choose her path after high school D E A R A B B Y: I’m a young woman of 16 years and I’m in the second year of high school. Next year will be my last, and then I will have the pressure of relatives and friends wondering what I will do with my life.

When I was little, I said I was going to be a stylist. I liked that idea, but after I did some research about it, I realized it is not for me. I have also thought about journalism and specializing in fashion, but don’t know if it’s something I want for my life.

I would love to do medicine, perhaps pediatrics or oncology. They are very beautiful professions. Should I pursue the career I always wanted as a child, or a career that I think is beautiful and will give me a good life? Help!

— JULIA FROM BRAZIL DEAR JULIA: The dreams people have as children usually change as they mature. It appears that yours are no different. The careers you are contemplating now can make a huge difference in the lives of others, and reward you well if you work hard and are successful. If you would love the practice of medicine and have the aptitude for it, that’s the way I think you should go.

DEAR ABBY: I am terrified of driving on the interstate. It is keeping me from going places I want to go and doing things I want to do. I don’t know anyone else with this phobia. Is there any help for someone like me? — READY TO ROLL IN MONTANA

DEAR READY: Of course there is. Your first step should be to contact a driving school to find out if it offers courses for people with a fear of driving on the interstate. However, if you can’t bring yourself to dip your toe in the water that way, ask your physician to put you in touch with a psychotherapist who specializes in relieving people of their phobias.

As to past regrets spoiling your present, a way to stop dwelling on those negative thoughts would be to say ALOUD to yourself: “That was then. This is NOW. I’m wiser now.” Then make a conscious effort to reorient yourself to the present. I’m not saying it won’t take vigilance and practice, but hearing yourself speak the words may snap you back to where you belong.

Rubio, McCain turn toward general after primary wins

By Erica Werner AP Congressional Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Republican Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and John McCain of Arizona turned toward the general election Wednesday with GOP control of the Senate at risk, each facing lesser-known Democratic House members who’ve sought to link them to Donald Trump.

Rubio and McCain have two tough months of campaigning ahead, but on Tuesday they easily dispatched their Republican primary opponents, outcomes that underscored the party establishment’s dominance of House and Senate primaries this year despite the nation’s turbulent anti-establishment mood and Trump’s outsider candidacy.

Not a single senator of either party has lost a primary this year, and in House races only five incumbents have lost, in several cases because they were under indictment or their districts were redrawn.

Rubio and McCain are supporting Trump for president, albeit with obvious reluctance after they were the target of his insults and Rubio ran against Trump for the White House.

Unlike other incumbents,

Rubio and McCain are extremely well-known with their own brands distinct from Trump’s, but the mogul’s impact on their candidacies remainsunpredictableinstates with large numbers of Hispanics, many of whom Trump has alienated with his insulting commentsaboutMexicansand his hard line on immigration.

Trump was speaking about immigration late Wednesday night in Phoenix after a visit to Mexico, but McCain, who avoids talking about Trump or appearing with him, did not plan to attend. Instead he was “spending a much-deserved day off with his wife, Cindy, at their home in Sedona,” his campaign said.

McCain will face Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, his most formidable Democratic opponent in years, while Rubio faces Rep. Patrick Murphy, a former Republican who won his primary against unpredictable liberal firebrand Rep. Alan Grayson.

Tuesday’s primary also saw Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the controversial former head of the Democratic National Committee, easily beat challenger Tim Canova, who was supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Anita M. Grey August 30, 2016 Anita M. Grey, 82, of Wyoming, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016, at Little Flower Manor, WilkesBarre.

Born in West Wyoming, she was the daughter of the late Amelia Fawcett. A graduate of West Wyoming High School, she later became a home health aide for Bayada Nursing and the Laurels of Wyoming until her retirement.

Surviving are her children, Wanda Grey, Panama Beach, Fla.; and Brenda F o x , G l o u s t e r, O h i o ; Michelle Crich, Wyoming; Jamie Grey, New Jersey; brother, Harold Brown, Harding; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Why it matters: The role and size of government

AP examines issues at stake in the presidential election

By Josh Lederman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The issue: It’s the Goldilocks conundrum of American politics: Is the federal government too big, too small or just right?

Few think it’s just right.

Ever since the first Americans bucked their colonial overlords in Britain, America has been wrestling with the delicate balance between a government that creates opportunity and one that inhibits it.

Every four years, the presidential election offers a referendum on whether Washington should do more or less.

Traditionally, Republicans have been viewed as the party of smaller government.

This year, it’s not so simple.

Where they stand It’s no secret Donald Trump likes things huuuuge.

Whether that applies to Uncle Sam remains to be seen.

Trump favors cutting government regulation that he says stifles businesses. He’s talked about doing away with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Education Department. Trump has also promised massive tax cuts, but fiscal conservatives flinch at the trillions of dollars his plan is expected to heap onto the national debt.

Unlike most conservatives, Trump supports eminent domain — the government’s right to seize property with compensation. He wants to replace “Obamacare,” but has said government-run health care “could have worked in a different age.”

And don’t forget that gigantic Mexico border wall he wants to build, estimated to cost taxpayers billions. Trump says it’ll be Mexican taxpayers footing the bill, a claim his critics and Mexico laugh off.

Hillary Clinton hasn’t focused heavily on cutting government spending in her campaign either. To the con-

J. ScoTT APPleWhiTe / ASSociATed PreSS file

Copies of President Barack Obama’s budget plan for fiscal year 2014 are prepared for delivery at the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington in April 2013. The Associated Press looks at a conundrum of American politics: Is the federal government too big, too small or just right? trary, she’s vowed new spending on college education, infrastructure and other programs that could grow the size of government. While Clinton has said taxes would go up for the wealthy to help pay for it, independent analyses have shown her plans would increase the debt in the long term.

On the other hand, Clinton’s vision for government is

a far cry from that of Bernie Sanders, her defeated primary opponent whose plans for education and health care would have caused government to swell if implemented.

Why it matters The tentacles of government reach into every aspect of our lives: The roads we drive on, the schools our kids attend, the dollar bills we

spend. Government creates and protects national parks and provides health care for our veterans, the indigent and the elderly. And operates a military to protect the country.

Government also takes our money — lots of it. For the 2016 budget year that ends Sept. 30, the federal government is expected to take in $3.3 trillion in revenues while

spending $3.8 trillion, according to a recent White House report. That means the government will rack up roughly $600 billion in debt, adding to the more than $19 trillion burden already saddling taxpayers of the future.

At its heart, the debate about government’s reach pits the innately human desire to know your basic needs will be cared for against the equally human desire to be left alone.

Small-government proponents want Washington out of as many parts of daily life as possible, preferring to let individuals or states make up their minds. They abhor regulations that tell you how to educate your kids, what chemicals your business can use and what kind of health insurance you have to buy.

Proponents for more government believe Americans have a responsibility to each other to make sure everyone has a chance to prosper regardless of what circumstances are thrust upon them, even if it means the community must make sacrifices.

And they warn the risks of too-little government are real, like lax oversight that allowed lead pipes to taint the water in Flint, Michigan.

The presidential race will have important implications for the candidates.

If Clinton’s lead gets too wide, it will make Toomey’s path to victory more difficult because he will need more people to split their ticket, Madonna explained.

He saw the likely voters statistic as more important and thinks Democrats have probably better engaged their voters so far.

NANTICOKE — City p o l i c e o n We d n e s d ay charged a Mountain Top couple with child endangerment for allegedly leaving their children alone in a car in front of a Nanticoke gym.

Police allege that Molly O’Neill, 35, and Daniel Johnson, 36, left a 5-month-old girl and an 11-year-old boy in a car

Police contacted Luzerne County Children and Youth Services, and a caseworker interviewed O’Neill and Johnson — the father of the infant — on July 7, the complaint states. They said they went to the gym together and left the children in the car “for about 10 minutes” while they exercised, the complaint states.

CUP COMING HOME

Richards bringing Stanley Cup to Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday

By Seth Lakso Staff Writer Since the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup on June 12, it has traveled all over the world.

Tom Kuhnhackl took it to Germany, Matt Murray lugged it up north to Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Conor Sheary even paraded it around Boston, Massachusetts.

On Wednesday, we learned the famed trophy will be making a stop in WilkesBarre on Sept. 7. Teddy Richards is going to use his big day to bring the Cup home to Wilkes-Barre, where his hockey career began nearly a decade and a half ago.

Richards, who grew up on South Hancock Street and got his start in hockey parking cars at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins games, served as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ assistant equipment manager during the team’s championship run this past year.

He’s since taken a job as the head equipment manager for the NHL’s Florida Panthers, but as a full-time traveling staffer for the Penguins last season, Richards’ name was one of the 52 new additions to the Cup — an honor no other Wilkes-Barre native had previously received.

Despite the new address in Sunrise, Florida, Richards has chosen to spend his day with the Cup back in his hometown with family, friends and fans. He’s even blocked off a time from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. where the Cup will be on display at Public Square for anyone who’d like to stop by.

“Wilkes-Bar re is my home,” Richards said. “Maybe this is one way I can kind of show that. I can say Wilkes-Barre is my home all I want, but you only get one

chance to do one thing with (the Cup), and I hope everyone knows how much this city has meant and continues to mean to me.”

Richards’ late father, Tedd, drove the Wilkes-Barre Penguins’ first team bus; and when he died from a heart attack at the age of 41 during Richards’ first year away at college, it set in motion a chain of events that will culminate this Wednesday.

Richards left college and returned home to help take care of his mother and younger brother. Soon, both he and his brother were working in the Penguins’ locker room.

Richards became WilkesBarre’s head equipment manager in 2006 and then earned a promotion to Pittsburgh in 2013.

In honor of his father, the first place Richards plans to bring the Cup on Wednesday is the cemetery, so the two can share the moment together.

For help planning the rest of his day, Richards reached out to Wilkes-Barre Penguins CEO Jeff Barrett for assistance with logistics. Martz Trailways Bus Company, where his f ather once worked, has also offered to help transport his precious cargo from stop to stop.

“I reached out to Jeff in the beginning of all this and made sure that he knew that I wanted to make sure we were making the Cup as accessible to Wilkes-Barre residents as possible,” Richards said.

“Being my hometown, that’s where I wanted it to go and I needed (Barrett’s) help figuring out how we could get the Cup out to as many people as possible.”

Richards, who only found out last week when his day with the Cup would be, said

Former Penguins assistant equipment manager Teddy Richards, left, and his brother, Josh, poses with the Stanley Cup at a party. that the Cup comes with its own bodyguard and a list of fairly commonsense rules.

However, one unwritten rule of note to Wilkes-Barre residents is that if you didn’t have a direct hand in winning the cup, you don’t raise it above your head — as hard of an urge to fight as that may be.

After the cemetery stop, Richards is going to make a quick stop at a local hospital and share the Cup with the children’s wing. From there, he’ll grab a quick bite to eat and then head over to Public Square.

Those who come to the celebration will be able to take pictures of hockey’s ultimate prize, though there will not be an opportunity for fans to take individual photographs with the Cup. According to Barrett, there will also be special Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins player appearances throughout the event at Public Square.

“It is incredibly gracious of Teddy to make the Stanley Cup available to the people of his hometown,” Barrett said

in a press release on Wednesday. “Teddy began his career working as a stick boy in our locker room back in 1999, and is now immortalized on the most famous trophy in pro sports.

“We couldn’t be happier for his accomplishments, and couldn’t be more thankful that he is giving everyone here the opportunity to celebrate with him.”

Richards said that he hasn’t seen the Cup since the night the Penguins won it in San Jose, California, and Sidney Crosby used it to pour some champagne down his throat.

While there are certainly those that have done some wild and crazy things with the Cup in the past, Richards really only has one plan for it.

“The one thing that we will do is, both my kids still have Teddy Bears that they sleep with,” he said. “(My wife and I) want to take a picture with the two bears in the cup. That will be the one picture that we will make sure to get.” slakso@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2083, @CVSethLakso

railriders clobber Buffalo Staff report

Based off Jordan Montgomery’s last four starts, it was somewhat surprising to see him give up a pair of runs Wednesday.

By the time that happened, though, he already had established a franchise record and the RailRiders were on their way to one of their own.

Montgomery set a franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings and the RailRiders scored the first 10 runs and totaled a seasonhigh-tying 18 hits on their way to a 14-2 thrashing of Buffalo at Coca-Cola Field.

It is a franchise-best 46th road victory in a season,

besting the mark held by the 2002 Red Barons.

Montgomery who had not allowed a run since his second Triple-A start Aug. 7, blanked the Bisons for the first 5⅓ innings, giving him 29⅔ straight scoreless innings. The previous high of 29⅓ innings was set by Tim Mauser in 1991.

The win also dropped the RailRiders’ magic number to claim a share of the International League North Division title to one. The RailRiders (86-52) hold a four-game lead over Lehigh Valley (82-56) with five games left, meaning a win or IronPigs loss tonight would give the RailRiders a share of the title and home-

RailRiders’ Ben Gamel rounds third during a game earlier this season at PNC Field in Moosic. Gamel was traded on Wednesday to Seattle.

League MVP Gamel traded to Mariners

By Shane Hennigan Staff Writer

ALL-Around success

There was a strong possibility the RailRiders were going to lose Ben Gamel today, the first day major league rosters can expand to 40 players.

They lost him one day earlier, but it wasn’t to the Yankees.

This afternoon, the Yankees traded Gamel to the Seattle Mariners for minor league right-handed pitchers Jio Orozco and Juan De Paula. The move comes one day after Gamel was named the International League’s Most Valuable Player.

Gamel, 24, had another outstanding season with the RailRiders, serving as the primary leadoff hitter and playing all three outfield positions. He hit .308 with six home runs and 51 RBIs, led the IL with 80 runs and was third in hits with 149.

Last year, he hit .300 with 10 homers, 46 RBIs and 52 extra-base hits, including a league-leading 14 triples, on his way to claiming IL Rookie of the Year honors.

Gamel was added to the Yankees’ 40-man roster in November and received his first big league promotion in

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T29] | 08/31/16

Before his trade to Seattle on Wednesday, Gamel ranked smong the International League leaders in multiple categories this season.

Stat IL Rank 80 runs First .308 average Sixth 149 hits Third 19 steals Fifth 203 total bases Ninth

Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin.

While Gamel flourished with the RailRiders, he was expendable and it became more apparent his big-league opportunity wasn’t going to come in New York. His two call-ups earlier this season resulted in just eight at-bats.

For Gamel, the Yankees get a pair of Rookie-level teenage arms, both of whom were ranked among Seattle’s top 30 prospects by Baseball America.

Orozco, 19, was drafted in the 14th round last year and played both professional seasons with the Arizona League Mariners while the 18-yearold De Paula, signed as a nondrafted free agent in 2014, pitched all of last season in the Dominican Summer League before joining Orozco at rookie ball this year.

The trade also opens up a spot on the Yankees’ 40-man roster, meaning the RailRiders potentially could lose the likes of young talent Cave, Kyle Higashioka, Dietrich Enns, Jordan Montgomery or Jonathan Holder, who are all having solid seasons but are not on the 40-man roster.

May, but still played the majority of the year with the RailRiders.

His departure is a blow to the RailRiders’ lineup with the Governors’ Cup playoffs beginning a week from today.

However, from the Yankees’ standpoint, the move makes sense.

They have an abundance of left-handed hitting outfield talent — like Gamel — in the upper levels of their farm system with the RailRiders boasting Mason Williams and Jake Cave and Double-A Trenton having Dustin Fowler and Billy McKinney.

They also have righthanded hitting depth with Clint Frazier, Rob Refsnyder sports@citizensvoice.com and the recently-promoted 570-821-2060

Canadian connections help Knights rebuild

By Seth Lakso Staff Writer KINGSTON — Elijah Blake knew at a young age that hockey wasn’t for him.

Normally, that wouldn’t have been a big deal, but Blake grew up just outside of Scarborough, Ontario.

Instead, a newspaper article turned Blake onto football, and his father — who played some linebacker and safety growing up — helped with the rest.

“To be honest, I tried hockey when I was Grade 1 and it wasn’t my thing,” Blake said with a laugh. “Hockey is so big, I wanted to be different. I saw an article in the newspaper one time, and I told my mom I wanted to play football because my dad played football and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.”

Blake, who is a 5-foot-10, 200-pound quarterback, is one of seven repeat juniors (each 17 years old) from Canada that will suit up for the Wyoming Seminary football team this season.

Those players include safety/running backs Donte Shanghie and Austin Daya, center Vasili Ortali, defensive backs Emmanuel Beals and Daeshaun Jupiter and lineman Tyrell Chung.

Of the seven, six played with Blake on the Toronto Thunder Junior Varsity team in the Ontario Varsity Football League last spring.

“Ever since we were young, we had the aspiration to go to the states and play football,” Blake said. “We all wanted to go by the time we were 16, because here it’s the big leagues. In Canada, its big, but it’s not as big. It’s another level here.”

Blue Knights head coach Kevin Kelly, who is in his first year at Seminary after a lengthy collegiate coaching career that most recently sent him to Ball State, is excited to have infused the Seminary football program with some added talent that will be around the next two seasons.

“They inquired (about Wyoming Seminary) and when I got here, anybody

ProsPeCt WatCh The Blue Knights are coming off a 1-8 season, which was the program’s second since it went on hiatus following the 2010 season. They have nine games scheduled this year, with only four at home.

They also have a new coach in Kelly, who brings over three decades of collegiate experience and four new postgraduates, highlighted by 6-foot-5, 315-pound defensive lineman Kyree Campebell (Woodbridge, Virginia), a fourstar recruit committed to play for the University of North Carolina.

Campbell will be joined by 6-foot-2, 220-pound tight end Jared Piatnik (Bethel, Connecticut), 6-foot-1, 205-pound running back Abdoulaye Konate (New York, New York) — who played for Poly Prep last season — and 6-foot-2, 185-pound wide receiver Otis Thrasher (Atlanta, Georgia).

“I think they’re buying in,” said Kelly, who is known for his ability to coach strong defensive teams. “We haven’t

played a game yet, but I think they’re having fun. It’s a culture change for a lot of them, getting used to me, to a new staff, new teammates, so it’s a work in progress right now.

“I want to make this a respectable program again.

They’ve struggled here since they dropped the sport, and I just want to make the Wyoming Sem community proud of its football program both on and off the field.

That’s the goal.”

For junior David Nape (Shavertown), who was with the team last season, the hiring of Kelly — who took over for coach Jeff Hollway (recently named head football coach and assistant director of athletics at The Hill School) — as well as all the other onfield additions has him looking at Seminary as a program back on the rise.

“Coach Kelly is bringing us in the right direction,” Nape said. “I think you’re going to see a big improvement this year and going forward.”

option and this new wing offense we’re going to run is helping me throw on the run a lot. I’m running a lot now too, so you could say I’m a dual threat.”

Being so far from home, it’s been nice to have so many former teammates going through the same experiences with him, Blake said.

There are a few rule differences that Blake and his friends are trying to adjust to.

In Canada, the field was 110 yards by 65 yards and most leagues played three downs instead of four. Teams also got a point for punting the ball through the end zone, and five players could be in motion before the snap.

“It’s a little different,” he said. “But it’s an easy adjustment.”

and they have a version of club football there in the spring where some of them played as well, so football has been a big part of their lives.”

Blake, who threw for 1,350 yards and 14 touchdowns with the Thunder last season, is primed to take over at quarterback for the Blue Knights.

Angle leads Comets to win Staff reports

Phillies prospects hard to judge A

fter covering spring training in Florida for more than a dec ade, the re are two moments from those beautifully hot, sunny, humid March days that stand out.

The first is the time the Red Barons hit into two triple plays in the same game; “You’ll never see that again,” venerable manager Marc Bombard turned to me and said at the time, quite correctly. Haven’t seen even one since in person.

The second is the first time I saw Ryan Howard.

He was 23, a hulking 6-foot4 slugger who still looked like he could lose some baby fat.

One day in 2003, he was in the lineup for the Double-A game, facing the Yankees’ Trenton team. So, I took a seat on the empty bleachers outside the dugout.

In his first two at-bats, Howard hit a long home run to left and a longer home run to center. Majestic shots. The kind you picture when you think of a home run. High.

Arching. Parabolic.

Those homers were the talk of the Carpenter Complex in Clearwater for several days, mostly because I wouldn’t shut up about them.

Howard was ticketed to open the 2003 season in the Florida State League with Clearwater, and I asked one Phillies executive off the cuff how many home runs he’d hit against those poor, unfortunate Class A pitchers who couldn’t possibly know what was about to get in the box against them.

WB_VOICE/PAGES [T31] | 08/31/16

Donnie CollinS Commentary dcollins@timesshamrock.com

the six Phillies prospects ranked by Baseball American on its midseason Top 100 prospects list.

That begs the question: Are Cozens and Hoskins guys who can be legitimate big leaguers? Or are they a Reading-created mirage?

Fact is, otherwise pedestrian hitters have put themselves on the map because they played a season in Reading. Most famously, Darin Ruf clubbed 38 homers for the Fightins in 2012. Since, he has just 34 big-league homers.

There was only one hitter who came through Reading, to PNC Field, and had the same type of success hitting home runs in both places, and that was Howard.

Scouting is such an art that it’s impossible to tell without the benefit of time whose opinion is going to be right. There were plenty of scouts in 2003 that figured Howard would strike out too much to reach his big league potential, and he went on to become one of the most feared hitters in the game.

This season will be remembered for both players, just like 2004 was for Howard. But the question is, will it be remembered as the start of something great, like it was for Howard? Or as the pinnacle of a professional career, like everybody else?

That’s why it is so difficult to judge the Phillies’ prospects before they hit CocaCola Field in Allentown.

“It’s tough to hit a lot of home runs in the Florida State League,” he said. “But, if he gets a full season once he gets to Reading, he could hit 50.”

Howard got to Reading in 2004, but he never did play a full season there. In 102 games with the then-R-Phils, he hit 37 homers — a 52-homer pace if he played 144.

If a baseball stadium could be a performance-enhancing drug, 65-year-old FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading is an androstendione and stanozolol cocktail with a Red Bull chaser and a side of greenies.

That’s why it’s sometimes so difficult to determine what’s real and what’s a mirage when it comes to Phillies prospects.

But baseball fans dig the long ball, and in this season of excess in Reading, it’s fitting Dylan Cozens and Rhys Hoskins are having the type of season they are.

Both Phillies prospects entered Wednesday night at the Howard line — 37 homers a pop. Cozens has 116 RBIs; Hoskins 112. They play positions the Phillies badly need to fill down the road — Hoskins at first base, Cozens right field — and are both top-five-round draft picks in recent years.

Yet despite gaudy, historic sports@citizensvoice.com numbers, neither are among 570-821-2060

D2 holds eligibility hearings

By Matt Bufano Staff Writer

PLAINS TWP. — The District 2 athletic committee spent two-and-a-half hours Wednesday inside the Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center, ruling on the separate eligibility cases of two student-athletes.

In the first hearing, Nina Magnotta, who transferred from Valley West to Wyoming Seminary, was ruled eligible to play field hockey.

An incoming senior who made the Wyoming Valley Conference coaches’ secondteam last season in Class 3A, Magnotta indicated the transfer was for non-athletic reasons.

The hearing was held behind closed doors at the request of administrators from both schools, each of which are expected to field competitive teams in the WVC’s new-look Division 1.

Following the hearing, the committee deliberated in an executive session, returning with a unanimous vote (11-0) that allows Magnotta to play her senior season at Sem. Regular-season play in WVC field hockey begins Wednesday.

The committee then held another closed-doors hearing, this time in regard to Dean Smith, a senior listed as an offensive lineman on Wyoming Area’s football roster. He was previously

enrolled at Abington Heights.

Smith, however, was ruled ineligible.

The issue at hand was determining whether Smith had exhausted his four years — or eight semesters — of eligibility.

Committee chair man Frank Majikes said he was the lone vote ruling Smith eligible to play, with the vote coming back 10-1.

The Smith family has the right to appeal the decision to the PIAA Board of Directors. Until a possible overrule by them, Majikes said, Smith cannot play in games for Wyoming Area. mbufano@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2060, @CVBufano

NFL BRIEF INVESTIGATION: NFL stars James Harrison, Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers can start the regular season without having the specter of a league investigation over whether they used performance-enhancing drugs hanging over their heads.

The NFL cleared all three players on Wednesday, saying there was “no credible evidence” the players were guilty of any of the claims made in a documentary by Al-

Jazeera America in January.

An NFL statement said “the investigation involved witness interviews, a review of relevant records and other materials, electronic research, and laboratory analysis and review.”

The league threatened Harrison, Matthews, Peppers and free agent Mike Neal with indefinite suspensions if they did not meet investigators.

All of them were mentioned in an Al-Jazeera television

interview with Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic.

In the December report, Sly made claims of PED use by several athletes, including Harrison, Peyton Manning and the three others, but later recanted his claims.

NFLPA attorney Heather McPhee sent a letter to the NFL earlier this month of accusing it of trying to “bully and publicly shame” Harrison.

and an apparent contract on the table.

General manager Kevin Colbert, asked several times this year about Brown’s request for a new deal, has always pointed to the team’s policy of not extending contracts of players who still have two years left on their current deals, as does Brown.

T HE C IT IZE NS' V O IC E

Antonio Brown received more money, and the Steelers got to hang onto their policy regarding contract extensions.

It was a win-win for both sides when the Steelers advanced Brown $4 million this year from his 2017 salary under a restructured deal the All-Pro receiver signed Wednesday morning before the team left for its final preseason game at Carolina.

The wide receiver’s compensation for this season thus increases to $10.25 million, a league source told the Post-Gazette. It is similar to last year, when the team advanced him $2 million of his 2016 salary.

It is, in essence, a one-year deal because next year the Steelers will negotiate a new multiple-year deal with Brown before the season starts.

The Steelers are still negotiating to sign guard David DeCastro to a new contract before the season opens Sept.

12, when another team policy dictates all contract negotiations end until next year.

The team created more than $5 million in salary cap room last week by restructuring the contracts of Marcus Gilbert and Mike Mitchell. They needed $2 million of that to give to Brown ($2 million of his $4 million will count vs. the cap in 2016). A new deal for DeCastro most

likely will reduce his 2016 cap hit that now stands at $8 million.

Brown’s new contract allows the Steelers to give him a raise without violating their policy of not extending contracts unless a player is entering his final season, excluding quarterbacks.

Brown was supposed to receive $8.7 million in salary in 2017, and though that has been reduced to $4.7 million, it matters little because this time next year Brown and the Steelers likely will come to an entirely new multipleyear contract and tear up the old one for 2017.

Thus, Brown received $6 million in advances in 2015 and 2016 on his future salaries, and it will mean $4 million in real money to him once next year’s deal is torn up.

Brown sent a photo of himself and his agents, Drew and brother Jason Rosenhaus, from the Steelers’ South Side headquarters Wednesday morning. Brown is sitting with pen in hand

“We had to find a way to fight back again,” manager John Farrell said after the Red Sox finished the homestand with a 3-3 record and headed to the West Coast for the first six in a nine-game road trip.

Hanley Ramirez hit a fifth-inning grand slam to erase a 4-1 deficit, and Jackie Bradley Jr. added a solo shot in the sixth to give Boston a 6-4 lead. But one game after the Red Sox blew a two-run lead in the seventh, the Rays loaded the bases against Fernando Abad in the eighth and Logan Forsythe hit a two-run single off Junichi Tazawa (3-2) to tie it.

In the bottom half, Ramirez led off with a walk, Sandy Leon bunted him to second and pinch-hitter Brock Holt singled him to third. Hill followed with a single past the first baseman to score Ramirez, and Bradley hit an RBI double to make it 8-6.

TIGERS 3, WHITE SOX 2: At Detroit, JaCoby Jones doubled twice in his second major league game, then dashed home for the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Tyler Collins in the ninth inning to lift the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago White Sox. After a day after doubling, singling and driving in two runs in his debut, Jones scored twice to help the Tigers complete a three-game sweep.

ASTROS 4, ATHLETICS 3: At Houston, Evan Gattis hit an RBI single to cap a three-run rally in the eighth inning keyed by a wild pitch on a strikeout, leading the Houston Astros over the Oakland Athletics.

RANGERS 14, MARINERS 1: At Arlington, Rougned Odor homered twice a day after hitting a game-ending shot and Carlos Gomez connected for a grand slam off Felix Hernandez, sending the Texas Rangers to a three-game sweep.

INDIANS 8, TWINS 4: At Cleveland, Corey Kluber struck out a season-high 11 and notched his seventh straight win, leading the Cleveland Indians to a victory over the Minnesota Twins, whose losing streak has reached 13 games — one shy of tying the club record.

RANGERS: Texas reliever Jeremy Jeffress will remain on the restricted list while entering an unspecified treatment program following an arrest on a drunken driving charge.

The right-hander apologized to his teammates and fans in a statement issued through the players’ union Wednesday. Jeffress, who was arrested last week in Dallas, asked for privacy while in rehab.

“Make no mistake, drinking and driving is wrong,” said Jeffress, who was twice suspended on drug violations while in the minor leagues.

TWINS: Minnesota center fielder Danny Santana will likely miss the remainder of the season with an injured left shoulder.

Santana got hurt on Sunday in Toronto when he collided with teammate Robbie Grossman while trying to make a catch.

Manager Paul Molitor said before Wednesday’s game that Santana will need more than a month to recover, so the team is leaning toward shutting him down for the final month.

A switch-hitter, Santana batting .240 with two homers, 14 RBIs and 12 steals this season.

Worth HR leads Nationals to sweep of Phillies Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Jayson Werth homered and Gio Gonzalez pitched six strong innings to lead the Washington Nationals to a three-game sweep of Philadelphia with a 2-1 victory over the Phillies on Wednesday night.

Wilson Ramos hit the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning to help NL East-leading Washington set a franchise record with its ninth straight victory over the Phillies. The Nationals remained nine games in front of the second-place Mets, who beat Miami 5-2.

Freddy Galvis homered for Philadelphia, which has lost seven of nine. The Phillies have dropped eight of their last nine games at home to Washington.

METS 5, MARLINS 2: At New York, Kelly Johnson’s three-run double in the eighth inning broke a tie and lifted the surging New York Mets to a win over the Miami Marlins.

Yoenis Cespedes began the rally by singling off reliever A.J. Ramos (1-2) to start the inning. Curtis Granderson walked. Wilmer Flores flew out to center, advancing a hustling Cespedes to third. After Jay Bruce flew out to right, Travis d’Arnaud walked to load the bases, bringing up Johnson.

Johnson, who was 25-for-79 with the bases loaded in his career with 74 RBIs, drove the ball into the right field corner.

He emphatically clapped his hands and swung his arms into the air after reaching second base.

ANGELS 3, REDS 0: At Anaheim, Ricky Nolasco pitched a dynamic four-hitter for his fifth career shutout and his first victory for Los Angeles, leading the Angels to an interleague sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.

METS: Second baseman Neil Walker was out of the New York Mets’ lineup for a fourth straight day and the team revealed he has a herniated disk in his back.

Both Walker and the Mets had previously classified the injury as a stiff back. Manager Terry Collins indicated he wasn’t at liberty to reveal the exact diagnosis during Tuesday’s pre-game news conference, but general manager Sandy Alderson shared the condition to a few reporters early Wednesday afternoon.

Collins was pressed for additional details before the Mets took on the Marlins.

“The issue is, the herniated disk is causing weakness in one of his legs,” Collins said.

“The weakness is causing numbness in one of his feet.

The numbness is keeping him from playing.”

The Mets were waiting for a second opinion on Walker’s condition to determine if surgery is necessary immediately or if he could try to play through the injury over the final 4 1/2 weeks of the regular season.

Walker has matched his career high with 23 home runs in his first season with the Mets.

GIANTS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2: At San Francisco, Matt Moore struck out seven over 5⅓ innings for his first career victory at AT&T Park, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Moore walked off in the sixth to a standing ovation from the sellout crowd. The left-hander had lost his initial two home starts since being acquired from Tampa Bay.

ROCKIES 7, DODGERS 0, (Game 1): At Denver, Tyler Anderson pitched efficiently into the seventh inning, Nolan Arenado kept up his torrid August with another RBI and the Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Anderson (5-5), with his deceiving motion, allowed six hits in 6⅓ innings against the NL West leaders. He also helped his own cause with an RBI single in the second in the team’s first shutout at home this season.

Wimbledon runner-up Raonic stunned at US Open

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press NEW YORK — The cramping became so debilitating, Milos Raonic said, he couldn’t grip his racket properly.

The Wimbledon runner-up just last month, and seeded No. 5 at the U.S. Open, Raonic began to feel pain near his left wrist midway through the second set of what would become a stunning 6-7 (4), 7-5, 7-5, 6-1 second-round loss to 120thranked American qualifier Ryan Harrison on Wednesday.

Eventually, the problem spread to Raonic’s right forearm. Then both thighs. Then

He was one of a trio of highly seeded players to exit Flushing Meadows on Day 3, although the other departures were less surprising.

No. 3 Garbine Muguruza, the French Open champion, made 38 unforced errors and bowed out 7-5, 6-4 against Anastasija Sevastova at night. All four of Muguruza’s U.S. Open appearances have ended in the first or second round. No. 9 Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2004 champion, took the first four games before losing 6-4, 6-4 to Caroline Wozniacki, who is unseeded but can rely on the muscle memory from two

Later under the lights, 14-time major champion Rafael Nadal was to face Andreas Seppi.

Raonic was a semifinalist at Wimbledon in 2014 and at the Australian Open this January. Then, while briefly working with John McEnroe, he beat Roger Federer in the semifinals at the All England Club in July to reach his first Grand Slam final.

While Christian lost in the first round Tuesday, Ryan took pleasure in being joined in the third round by a couple of other Americans: No. 20 John Isner beat Steve Darcis 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (10), 6-3, and No. 26 Jack Sock defeated Mischa Zverev 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.

Or to serve: That’s normally his most effective stroke, yet he double-faulted 15 times.

“It was just catching me all over,” Raonic said. “I started getting small (cramps) where I couldn’t hold the racket. I couldn’t switch grips from one point to the next. There were a few points where I would hold the racket with my left and try to stretch out my right hand in between shots — and that’s not going to work.”

Penn State wideouts ready to help

By Travis Johnson Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State receiver Chris Godwin is comfortable carrying things on his back.

Opposing defenders can attest to that as Godwin dragged plenty of them for a hefty chunk of his team-best 1,101 yards last season. Now, he and the rest of Penn State’s receiving corps are ready to do it again and lift their offense — led by a new quarterback and coordinator when the team opens against Kent State on Saturday — in the process.

“We’re taking full responsibility because of the fact that we’re one of the most mature groups on the team with the most returning players, guys that all saw playing time last year,” DaeSean Hamilton said. “We know exactly what’s at stake this year.”

That’s potentially a thirdstraight season where lackluster offense leads to a mediocre finish in the Big Ten East. Godwin, Hamilton and Saeed Blacknall are determined to prevent that.

They’re ready to ease quarterback Trace McSorley’s transition and help Joe Moorhead’s spread-based offense grind defenses down. Their size and gritty styles coupled with Moor-

MArk WAllheiser / AssociAted Press

Penn State wide receiver Chris Godwin makes a catch during the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Fl. head’s up-tempo attack could be the perfect recipe to do so.

“The physicality that we have at the receiver position, it’s huge,” McSorley said. “Saeed is a big receiver, DaeSean is right around 205 pounds, 210 maybe, and Chris too. They’re all big receivers. They’re all physical guys. They’re not ones to shy away from contact.”

Godwin shines here. His breakout season saw him break a handful of tackles nearly every week en route to 27 plays of 15 or more yards. His teammates fondly remember his effort against Ohio State when he dragged Eli Apple nearly 20 yards to spark a late rally in Columbus.

“Anytime I get the ball I’m trying to score, so if that means you drag a couple of players or break a couple of tackles, I’ll do whatever,” Godwin said.

Hamilton emerged in 2014 to lead the Big Ten with 82 catches.

A sneaky route-runner capable of handling big target volumes, he’ll shift into the slot where he believes he’ll be able to exploit matchups regularly.

At 6-foot-3, Blacknall is the tallest of the starters and will look to pick up where he left off as the team’s biggest deep threat having averaged 31 yards per catch in 2015.

“They do a great job of just continuing to play and never quitting,” running back Saquon

Barkley said. “A lot of times last year when I would break a long run, Godwin, Hammy and Saeed would be down there setting up blocks for me to go farther.”

There’s a cerebral effect to that, Hamilton said. Leaning on defensive backs down the field will only open things up in the passing game and Hamilton said he can sense when a defender is on tilt.

A corner concerned with trash-talking him at the line isn’t focused on coverage calls coming from his teammates. A wide-eyed stare at Hamilton’s jersey number is another sign the defensive back is worried about getting hit rather than reading a quarterback’s drop steps.

Hamilton’s favorite bit of evidence? An opponent with his hands on his hips, sucking wind after big gains. It’s a potential hallmark of the team’s new offense, one that depends on its three wideouts to develop.

“Being out there and wearing down your DB on an every play basis, obviously you’re going to find out when they’re tired and when you’re not tired,” Hamilton said. “You’re going to realize, ‘OK, now I’m in their heads. Now I’ve got them psychologically.’

Being able to wear down your opponent is a great feeling.”

SPORTS IN BRIEF AP source: NFL to announce that 2017 draft will be in Philly

NHL adds Meldonium to Some vets tweet TNT broadcaster Sager to support for Kaepernick undergo marrow transplant banned substance list

NEW YORK — The NFL will announce today that the 2017 draft will be held in Philadelphia, a person with direct knowledge of the announcements told The Associated Press.

The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the league has not made an official announcement of the move.

After two years in Chicago, the draft has become a traveling show. Philadelphia beat out several other locations eager to stage the proceedings.

For decades, the draft was held in New York, but scheduling issues for 2015 and a strong bid from Chicago led to it being moved. The draft traditionally is held on the final Thursday-Saturday of April, which would be April 28-30 in 2017.

The first three rounds are held in prime time, with the opening round on Thursday, the second and third rounds on Friday. The final four rounds take place Saturday afternoon.

HOUSTON — The son of TNT basketball broadcaster Craig Sager said his father has undergone a third bone marrow and stem cell transplant as he continues his cancer fight.

Craig Sager II announced the procedure on Twitter on Tuesday, saying the marrow would be provided by an anonymous donor. NBC announced last month that the 65-year-old Sager was preparing for the transplant and couldn’t take part in Olympics coverage.

Sager was first diagnosed with leukemia in 2014.

Sager is known for his outlandish suits and strong rapport with NBA players and coaches.

The NHL has added meldonium to its list of banned substances.

Deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the addition in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The change goes into effect for the upcoming season. The NHL and NHL Players’ Association had to agree to add meldonium to its list of prohibited substances.

Daly says that decision was made for the same reason the World Anti-Doping Agency banned meldonium on Jan. 1.

Tennis star Maria Sharapova and swimmer Yulia Efimova have tested positive in recent months for the drug. Sharapova is appealing her two-year ban.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the national anthem is apparently winning support from some military veterans.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has sparked controversy by sitting during the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Kaepernick says he’s protesting oppression of minorities in the United States. Some see theprotest as insulting to veterans.

However, some veterans have tweeted pictures of themselves in uniform and messages of support under the hashtag VeteransForKaepernick. One says he served to protect freedoms, not a song. Another says protesting is every American’s right.

I can’t rule out a leftover shower early this morning, but the bigger story will be our cool down with highs only in the upper 70s for the afternoon. We’ll get some afternoon clearing with some help from a gusty wind, so it might even feel a little chilly through the afternoon.

Another area of high pressure will build on Friday and it’s going to set up shop for the weekend and beyond.

Friday and Saturday temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s under a mostly sunny sky.

Sunday through Tuesday temperatures get back into the 80s with plenty of sun to go around.

We are keeping an eye on tropical depression 9 currently in the Gulf of Mexico, as it’s brushing just off the east coast Sunday and into Monday.

College students return to NEPA This week’s issue includes stories about how students can enjoy living in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

It’s easier done than said, in my opinion.

Having grown up here and lived in Patrick different Abdalla parts of EDITOR the state, I know this region seems to take a perverse joy in knocking itself.

Too many people are quick to say, “There’s nothing to do here.”

The problem is that there is actually a lot to do here, but many of the best things are hidden.

On pages 8 and 9 of this issue, you’ll find suggestions for things you can do when you are bored or deals you can get just for being a college student.

In some ways, those lists just scratch the surface.

Whether you’re from the area or not, I’m sure there are some things that really interest you. Maybe it’s music. Maybe it’s history. It could be reading.

This area has a ton of options for all of those interests. NEPA has a great, local music scene with a ton of

talented individuals who perform a diverse selection of genres. There are several historical places in the region too, from Eckley Miners’ Village to Steamtown National Historic Site.

Don’t miss out on these little gems.

On another note

Don’t be surprised to hear some new news from Ali Abualburak in the coming weeks. The Ali Baba Liquor Lounge owner has a new project that we’ll be telling you about soon. ...

Last Friday, I covered the press conference for the “All in Time” movie that was shot in Wilkes-Barre and will be screened at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts. Director Chris Fetchko didn’t give many details on the script he’s working on for a new movie, but did say he plans on doing some filming in the region again.

We’ll let you know more whenever we find out anything new about the movie.

As for “All in Time,” one of the local actors in the film is local broadcaster David DeCosmo.

You can see DeCosmo on the Silver Screen on Oct. 7.

Folk music lovers and outdoorsy people alike will bask in the sun alongside the picturesque Tunkhannock Creek this weekend as the fourth annual Cornstock Folk Festival kicks off at the Lazy Brook Park.

The three-day event promises 18 acts, both local and nationally acclaimed, across the spectrum of roots music, from folk to bluegrass, Americana and reggae. Gates to the Tunkhannock festival open Friday at 9 a.m. and stay open through Sunday at 8 p.m.

Deal me in Did a bad thing happen on the craps table?

Dear Mark: I will try to keep this as short as possible.

Where I play, the Crap table offers what is called a Fire bet. If you make all the point numbers (4-5-6-8-9-10) in any order before 7 rolls, you are paid 1,000 to 1. I made the 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10, and Mark Pilarski then low and GamblinG behold, the expert 9 rolled, which should have paid me $5,000 since I had $5 on Fire bet.

However, the pit boss yelled

out “No roll” and the shooter proceeded to roll a 7 three rolls later. My question is, was I screwed by the pit boss out of $5,000? While you are at it, should I be making the bet in the first place? I have been playing the Fire bet for a few years now, and this was the closest I have ever come to hitting all six numbers. John K. I will begin, John, with the game, followed by the math, and then that “no roll” call.

Some casinos offer what’s called a “Fire Bet,” that pays if the shooter makes “at least” 4 different points (4, 5, 6, 8, 9,10) before the seven rolls.

The bet is typically offered at $1 to $5, and the bettor is betting that a hot shooter will

Gambling wisdom

“His hands become nervous when he picks up their cards, exactly as if he were holding live birds instead of inanimate pieces of cardboard.”

— Maxim Gorky, describing Leo Tolstoy at cards make multiple valued points.

For the points to count towards the Fire Bet, they must all be different. For example, if a player were to make a point of 4 twice, only one of those rolls would only be credited for a point on the Fire bet, not two.

For the first three points hit, there are no payoffs. However, increasing odds are paid for the fourth, fifth, and sixth points; 25 to 1 odds are paid for the fourth point, which

would be $125 a $5 bet; the fifth point pays at 250 to 1 odds, which is $1250 for a $5 bet; and the sixth point pays 1,000 to 1 odds or $5,000 in your case. It is important to note here that you won something on that $5 wager: $1,250.

As for to your inquiry about the worthiness of this wager, John, consider this.

There is a reason why, as you stated: “this is the closest I’ve come to hitting all six numbers.” The Fire Bet is the

worst bet you can make on a crap game. It has a huge house edge of 24.7 percent.

Concerning your question about being screwed, I doubt you were unless, of course, your legitimate win of $1,250 for hitting five numbers was not honored.

When the boxman supervising a crap game invalidates a roll, he or she will call “no roll” or “no dice.” Usually, this happens when one or both of the dice fail to cover much distance, they bounce off the game, a player tries to slide them, or the dice do not land flat. More than likely one of those possibilities happened on that fateful roll.

I can tell you first hand,

WB_VOICE/SPECIAL_SECTION/PAGES [J04] | 08/31/16

John, that in a fast paced game like craps, a boxman needs to make split-second decisions that won’t always be favorable to you.

True, I wasn’t there boxing the game. So I can only presume that the boxman either thought it wasn’t a legal toss, or, one of the dice after landing was tilted at such an angle that he or she couldn’t clearly distinguish it as that 9 that you were eager for.

3 Doors Down guitarist recalls visiting NEPA on previous tours with the band

By Charlotte L. Jacobson Staff Writer

Next week is 3 Doors Down’s time in Wilkes-Barre and they’re ready to go.

The American rock band from Mississippi just kicked off their “Us and The Night” tour, named for their most recent album, and will play the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Sept.

7.

And the fivesome are no strangers to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Henderson recalled performing at Montage Mountain on several summertime tours, most notably with Wilkes-Barre natives, Breaking Benjamin, as an opener.

Co-founding guitarist, Chris Henderson, said fans can expect a mix of old and new songs in their set list. But mostly, the quintet is excited to show off tracks from “Us and The Night,” which was released in March.

“In this last record we decided to let everyone contribute and write,” Henderson said. “So obviously our sound changed a little. We took a couple steps towards the future; I think a couple steps farther than it would have went otherwise.”

The group has seen several band

In recording “Us and The Night,” they utilized new instrumentation, Henderson explained.

Instead of writing everything on an acoustic guitar, they used programming and beat elements to create a different flavor and approach to songwriting.

The album took about a year to create in Henderson’s Nashville studio, from writing tracks to recording and finishing it off.

Among his favorite tracks include “The Broken,” “Us and The Night” and “Believe It” because of how

Every Labor Day weekend, Scranton hosts La Festa Italiana.

A Look At thE LocAL muSic ScEnE Everyone wants to be a rock star. Some even want it badly enough to pay the price. Local musicians have obligations and expectations to fulfill like anyone else.

But if you love it — really, truly, hopelessly love it — you find a way to get out and play, to get your music heard, to get on the record.

Ted Wampole III, known as his stage name Newpy Hundo, enjoys sharing new and undiscovered music with people through his DJ sets.

In prior years, the Wilkes-Barre native said he played “renegade sets” in the parking lot of Camp Bisco to get his name out there and network with other festival-goers. So when he was given the chance to perform as a part of the festival lineup, he was thrilled.

Wampole hit snags with playing empty rooms or not making a lot of money at shows, but meeting certain people along the way has made the journey worthwhile. From best friends to his current girlfriend, Wampole attributes many of his closest relationships to his participation in DJing and other music events.

Although he focuses on DJing and mixing music for the time being, Wampole said the next chapter for him is to dabble more into music production. In the long run, he said he would love to own and operate his own record label as a part of his ambition to showcase new music and artists to the world.

“Music is an amazing way to bring people together. That’s why I have made it a huge part of my life because I like bringing people together,” he added. “It’s nice to just forget everything about daily life, just dance, party and vibe out for a few hours.” cjacobson@citizensvoice.com 570-821-2061, @CVcljacobson

‘Breathe’ ends up being a worthwhile thriller

Remember to inhale and exhale during “Don’t Breathe.” Brutal, twisted and suspenseful, the home invasion thriller about a group of friends who break into a blind man’s house seamlessly segues into unsettling horror.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

HHH½ stars out of five

“Don’t Breathe” requires patience, as the film starts out slow and its characters are thinly drawn.

But its unexpected turns elevate the flick into a gripping nail-biter.

In poverty-stricken Detroit, three delinquents — Rocky (Jane Levy), her boyfriend Money (Daniel Zovatto) and their friend Alex (Dylan Minnette) — rob houses that are protected by a home security company owned by Alex’s father. The three decide to target a Gulf

War veteran (Stephen Lang) sitting on $300,000 cash in his house. The man received the money in a settlement after his daughter was killed in a car crash by a wealthy woman.

The man lives in a deserted neighborhood and is blind, which the trio thinks will make him an easy mark.

But they couldn’t be more wrong. When Rocky, Money and Alex become trapped in the Blind Man’s house, the intruders are pitted against the vengeful homeowner in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

In “Don’t Breathe,” director Fede Alvarez follows his 2013 remake of “Evil Dead” with a violent outing that disturbs without resorting to gore. Relying on action and little dialogue, Alvarez ramps up the tension in the film’s confined and claustrophobic setting.

The cinematography is top-notch. After the friends break into the house, one long, continuous take reveals the home’s layout. The majority of the action is

filmed at night, as characters lurk through dark rooms and hallways, but the sequences are clearly staged and easy to follow.

A heart-pumping scene filmed in night vision as the friends try to evade the Blind Man in total darkness is visually stunning and intense. Other scenes involving a skylight and a crawl through the ventilation system show how the house itself turns on the intruders.

But the thriller doesn’t really start until the friends enter the Blind Man’s home.

The weak prologue churns out minor backstories for the group and why they’ve turned to a life of crime.

Rocky wants to leave Detroit to start a new life with her little sister in California, away from their neglectful mother. Money wants to go with her. Alex is the conscience of the group and harbors feelings for Rocky.

“Don’t Breathe” boasts great performances from its small cast. The film keeps

you wavering on who to root for — the intruders or intended victim. Lang is a force of nature as the underestimated and relentless Blind Man, with his built physique, deep voice and shocking secrets. Levy and Minnette are sympathetic and expressive, conveying sheer terror without saying a word.

“Don’t Breathe” does fall back on a few standard horror conventions, such as the most unlikable character is the first one to be killed.

Another character, when you think that person is out of commission, keeps reappearing at opportune times, which gets repetitive. The ending feels needlessly shoehorned in so as to leave the film open for a sequel.

With a deeply unnerving story that outweighs its flaws, “Don’t Breathe” will leave you gasping for air.

Rebecca Kivak considers herself representative of the average filmgoer. Her favorite films are “The Illusionist” and “The Avengers.”

Historic commercial flight from US lands in Cuba SANTA CLARA, Cuba — The first commercial flight between the United States and Cuba in more than a half century landed in the central city of Santa Clara on Wednesday morning, reestablishing regular air service severed at the height of the Cold War. Cheers broke out in the cabin of JetBlue flight 387 as the plane touched down.

Passengers — mostly airline executives, U.S. government officials and journalists, with a sprinkling of Cuban-American families and U.S. travelers — were given gift bags with Cuban cookbooks, commemorative luggage tags and Cuban flags, which they were encouraged to wave.

The arrival opens a new era of U.S.-Cuba travel with about 300 flights a week connecting the U.S. with an island cut off from most Americans by the 55-yearold trade embargo on Cuba and formal ban on U.S. citizens engaging in tourism on the island.

Slain iS figure was powerful leader Militant held multiple roles in organization

By Sarah El deeb Associated Press

Al-Adnani

BEIRUT — With the killing of Abu Mohammed alAdnani, the Islamic State group lost one of its most powerful figures, a militant with multiple roles: A propaganda chief, overseer of spectacular attacks in Europe and a trusted lieu-

tenant of the group’s top leader.

Al-Adnani was the mastermind of the extremist group’s strategy of lashing out abroad with attacks that overshadowed its battlefield losses in Syria and Iraq. He formed militant cells in Europe to carry out organized attacks and inspired “lone wolves” who struck

out on their own.

Coming on the heels of the death of the group’s war minister, al-Adnani’s loss is likely to prompt a shake-up in the IS leadership and may force its shadowy leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to address the loss of its most charismatic figure.

“Only al-Baghdadi is a more important leader, and al-Adnani was probably positioned to succeed al-Baghadi

US appeals court tosses out $654M PLO verdict NEW YORK — A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday tossed out a $654 million jury verdict against the Palestine Liberation Organization for terrorist attacks in the early 2000s in Israel that killed or wounded Americans, saying the U.S. courts lack jurisdiction because the attacks were random and not aimed at the United States.

The United States government had said last year that the case threatened to financially destabilize the Palestinian government and harm the region.

Wednesday’s written decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the attacks in 2002 and 2004 that killed 33 people and wounded h u n dred s m o re we re “unquestionably horrific.”

But the three-judge panel said they were fortuitous and “not expressly aimed at the United States.”

CANONIZATION OF MOTHER TERESA

Madeline on track to hit Big Island today By audrey Mcavoy and Cathy Bussewitz Associated Press

Truce holds between Syrian Kurds, Turkey I S TA N B U L — A n uneasy truce between Turkish troops and Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria held on Wednesday, despite Ankara’s vow that it would never negotiate with what it calls a “terror organization.”

The U.S. has called on both sides to stop fighting each other and focus on defeating the Islamic State group, hoping to halt days of clashes between a NATO ally and a Kurdish force that has proven to be highly effective against IS. But a spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would continue to attack U.S.-backed Kurdish militias inside Syria. The spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said a cease-fire was “out of the question.”

Turkey views the Syrian Kurdish fighters as an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has waged a decades-long insurgency in Turkey and is viewed as a terrorist group by Turkey and the U.S. Washington sees the Kurds as a key partner against IS, and U.S. airstrikes have helped a Kurdish-led militia known as the Syria Democratic Forces to seize a large swath of territory from the extremists in recent months.

if he was killed,” Thomas Joscelyn, a researcher with the U.S.-based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said in an email to The Associated Press.

In a statement announcing his death, IS described alAdnani as a descendent of Prophet Muhammad’s family and tribe, attributes also used to describe al-Baghdadi.

The Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of the cause of beatification and canonization of Mother Teresa, speaks in front of a mosaic picturing Mother Teresa, at the formation house of the Missionaries of Charity near Rome on Aug. 18. Pope Francis will canonize Mother Teresa on Sunday.

SAINT IN ‘DARKNESS’

Along with holiness, Mother Teresa experienced spiritual agony

By Nicole Winfield Associated Press VATICAN CITY — When Pope Francis canonizes Mother Teresa on Sunday, he’ll be honoring a nun who won admirers around the world and a Nobel Peace Prize for her joy-filled dedication to the “poorest of the poor.” He’ll also be recognizing holiness in a woman who felt so abandoned by God that she was unable to pray and was convinced, despite her ever-present smile, that she was experiencing the “tortures of hell.”

For nearly 50 years, Mother Teresa endured what the church calls a “dark night of the soul” — a period of spiritual doubt, despair and loneliness that many of the great mystics experienced, her namesake St. Therese of Lisieux included. In Mother Teresa’s case, the dark night lasted most of her adult life

TOPiC OF THE

VOICE

— an almost unheard of trial.

No one but Mother Teresa’s spiritual directors and bishop knew of her spiritual agony until her correspondence came to light during her beatification cause. The letters were then made available to the general public in a 2007 book, “Come Be My Light.”

For the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, the Canadian priest who published the letters and spearheaded Mother Teresa’s saint-making campaign, the revelations were further confirmation of Mother Teresa’s heroic saintliness. He said that by canonizing her, Francis is recognizing that Mother Teresa not only shared the material poverty of the poor but the spiritual poverty of those who feel “unloved,

unwanted, uncared for.”

“That was her experience in her relationship with Jesus,” Kolodiejchuk said in an interview. “She understood very well when people would share their horror stories, their pain and suffering of being unloved, lonely. She would be able to share that empathy because she herself was experiencing it.”

Tens of thousands of people are expected for the canonization ceremony Sunday for the tiny, stooped nun who was fast-tracked for sainthood just a year after she died in 1997. St. John Paul II, who was Mother Teresa’s greatest champion, beatified her before a crowd of 300,000 in St. Peter’s Square in 2003.

Francis has made the canonization the high point of his Jubilee of Mercy, a yearlong emphasis on the church’s merciful side. Francis has an obvious interest

in highlighting Mother Teresa’s mercy-filled service to outcasts on the periphery, given that her life’s work exemplifies the priorities of his own pontificate.

But Francis is also sending a more subtle message to the faithful through the canonization of the ethnic Albanian nun: That saints can be imperfect — they can suffer as Mother Teresa did and even feel unloved by God, said Ines Angeli Murzaku, a professor of church history at Seton Hall University in New Jersey and herself a native Albanian.

“That existential periphery which is suffering and being marginalized, he wants to bring that to the attention of the world,” she said in a telephone interview. Mother Teresa “is so real. She’s not remote. She’s not a perfect, perfect saint.” see SaiNTHOOd, PAge A6

Brazil’s President Rousseff ousted from office

By Peter Prengaman and Mauricio Savarese Associated Press

BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s Senate voted Wednesday to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office, the culmination of a yearlong fight that paralyzed Latin America’s largest nation and exposed deep rifts among its people on everything from race relations to social spending.

While Rousseff ’s ouster was widely expected, the decision was a key chapter in a colossal political struggle that is far from over. Rousseff was Brazil’s first female president, with a storied career that includes being jailed and tortured as a Marxist guerril-

Ousted Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is embraced by former minister Aldo Rebelo at the official residence of the president, Alvorada Palace, in Brasilia, Brazil, on Wednesday. la in the 1970s during the country’s dictatorship. She was accused of breaking fiscal laws while managing the federal budget.

“The Senate has found that the president of the Federal Republic of Brazil, Dilma Vana Rousseff, committed crimes in breaking fiscal

laws,” said Chief Justice Ricardo Lewandowski, who presided over the trial.

Opposition lawmakers made clear early on the only solution was getting her out of office. They argued that the maneuvers masked yawning deficits from high spending and ultimately exacerbated the recession in a nation that had long enjoyed darling status among emerging economies.

Nonsense, Rousseff countered time and again, proclaiming her innocence up to the end.

The opposition needed 54 of the 81 senators to vote in favor for her to be removed.

They got many more, winning in a landslide of sorts, 61-20.

HILO, Hawaii — Merchants boarded up shop windows Wednesday along Hilo Bay, and shoppers snatched supplies of food and water from grocery store shelves as what could be the first hurricane to hit Hawaii in a quarter-century neared the island.

The National Weather Service said Hurricane Madeline had weakened but remained on track to hit Hawaii’s Big Island early today.

Officials urged residents to expect hurricane conditions and to take steps to protect themselves and their property.

“Hopefully our roofs stay on, and our houses don’t float way or get blown away,” said Big Island resident Mitzi Bettencourt, who boarded up walls of glass windows at her brother’s oceanfront home.

“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, are we going to get flattened or what?”’

Elsewhere, the National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Hermine had formed in the Gulf of Mexico and was centered about 400 miles from Tampa, Florida. It was expected to pick up speed and approach the northwest Florida coast this afternoon.

A warning was dropped about a tropical depression that had been moving toward North Carolina.

In Hawaii, Peggy Beckett, a retiree and beekeeper, stopped at a Hilo supermarket to pick up onion bagels, cheese, cold cuts and salad to add to her canned food at home. She also has a cooler with ice plus a portable burner and batteries to get her through the storm.

Noting the lines of people at the market, Beckett said people were getting prepared but weren’t panicking.

“There’s always a lot of disbelief on the island that the storms will really be as big and bad as forecast,” she said, noting that she and her partner had taken precautions to protect their beehives.

Hurricane Madeline has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm. It was about 140 miles southeast of Hilo early Wednesday — with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph — and on track to skirt or hit the southern edge of the Big Island, an area that features ranches, small towns and Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park.

Bettencourt manages several vacation rental properties and her own home sits a few blocks from the ocean.

She and her neighbors were stocking their pantries, stowing lawn furniture and preparing for power outages.

“If they’re not prepared now, they should get prepared fast,” said Chevy Chevalier, a meteorologist with the weather service.

HEALTH & SCIENCE Dr. ANTHONY KOMArOFF Ask Doctor K

Cataract procedure advances

Q:

My husband had cataract surgery 10 years ago. Now it’s my turn. Have there been any advances in the past decade that I should know about?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye. It commonly causes poor vision and blindness among older adults. But cataracts can be surgically removed and replaced with artificial lenses. In fact, cataract surgery has become fairly routine. The vast majority of people who undergo this procedure have excellent outcomes.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Christian Song. He is a cataract and refractive surgeon at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. He noted that advances in imaging and measuring, and of the lenses themselves, are making cataract surgery even better.

Typically, cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure. To remove the cataract, the surgeon makes a circular incision around the eye’s lens. Then he or she uses ultrasound to break up and remove the cloudy lens.

After that, a new lens is slipped into the eye.

Some surgeons still use a scalpel for the incision.

But more and more, surgeons are using an ultrashort-pulse laser. This allows doctors to make more precise incisions than they can by hand, and softens the cataract for easier removal. The laser also helps to ensure better centering of the implanted lens. Another advance: These days, 3-D imaging is used with the laser, allowing still greater precision.

Once the cataract has been removed, a device attached to a microscope measures the total refractive error of the eye. (A refractive error occurs when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina.

As a result, vision appears blurred.) A sophisticated new technology called “intraoperative wavefront aberrometry” allows doctors to more accurately calculate the right lens power for the eye. This has been especially helpful for people who have had previous laser vision correction, such as LASIK. This technology has also improved the ability to reduce or eliminate the effect of astigmatism. This is an imperfection in the shape of the cornea or lens, causing images to appear distorted or blurry.

Despite these advances, cataract surgery is not without risks. Complications are rare, but they can include severe vision loss, bleeding and infection.

That may sound scary, but the important thing to remember about rare complications is that they’re rare. I’m not being flip; I’m having cataract surgery in a few weeks, well aware of the possible complications.

But I’ve balanced the benefit from the surgery against the risk — and it’s an easy call for me.

Cataract surgery won't necessarily give you the vision you had when you were much younger. I’m not expecting that, and neither should you. But it is very likely to improve the vision you and I have now.

Prepare for takeoff — again Recycled SpaceX rocket to launch satellite

BY MARCIA DUNN ASSociAted PreSS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX has a taker for the first flight of one of its recycled rockets.

The Luxembourg-based company SES — a longtime SpaceX launch customer — said Tuesday it will send its next communications satellite up on a previously flown Falcon rocket. It will be the first true reuse of a rocket previously used for an orbital mission. The launch will

take place sometime this fall from Cape Canaveral.

The chief technology officer at SES, Martin Halliwell, said SpaceX’s testing for the upcoming mission gives his company “full confidence.”

SES was the first commercial satellite operator to launch with SpaceX, back in 2013, he noted, and the satellite operator is excited to team up with SpaceX for another first.

“We believe reusable rockets will open up a new era of spaceflight,” Mr. Halliwell

said in a news release.

SpaceX said it can save considerable time and money by reusing the big, expensive parts normally left to sink at sea.

The first-stage, 15-story rocket — equipped with nine engines — is what launches everything to space. It separates 2½ minutes after liftoff, and the second stage takes SPAceX viA AP over to get the payload into the proper orbit.

Googly-eyed squid looks more like a child’s toy than an animal

BY ALINA HARTOUNIAN ASSociAted PreSS

A team of scientists and technicians scanning the rocky ocean floor off Southern California couldn’t contain their excitement when they spotted a bright-purple, googly-eyed stubby squid.

They let out a collective “whoa” on video posted on the Exploration Vessel Nautilus’ Facebook page as a camera on a remote-operated vehicle came across the iridescent cephalopod with giant round eyes.

Then the jokes started. “He has weird eyes!” said one enthusiastic observer. “Get close! Get close!” urges another.

One suggested it resembled a child’s dropped toy, and another said the creature’s eyes appeared to be painted on.

“Itlookssofake,”saysonememberof theNautilus’team.

The creature looks like a cross between a squid and an octopus but is closely related to a cuttlefish, according to the Nautilus Live website.

The find could be more than just bemusing.

“In addition to the googly-eyed cuteness, there is one thing biologically interesting about this observation,” said cephalopod expert Michael Vecchione of the Smithsonian Institution. The creature could be a new species, he wrote in an email to the expedition.

It was spotted at nearly 3,000 feet deep, which is unusual, but not unheard of. But, on top of that, the stubby squid didn’t have chromatophores, cells that allow it to change color, as members of its species do, Mr. Vecchione said.

Thequestioncan’tbeansweredbecausethisparticularstubbysquidremainsdeepintheocean,outof scientists’reach.

The Nautilus team is part of a four-month Ocean Exploration Trust expedition to map underwater fault zones from Canada to California and understand ecosystems around them.

The team spends hours scanning the barren oceanscape, “then to come across something adorable like that — it’s a real treat,” Exploration Vessel Nautilus spokeswoman Susan Poulton said.

Risk of sudden death from epilepsy Many doctors never warn patients of SUDEP BY gINA KOLATA tHe new York tiMeS

Shena Pearson nearly froze in her seat, terrified, as she stared at a power-point slide. She was at her first meeting of an epilepsy foundation, seeking help for her 12-year-old son Trysten, when a neurologist flashed the slide about something called SUDEP. It stands for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Her son’s neurologist had never mentioned it.

“Oh dear God, my child is at risk, seriously at risk,” Ms. Pearson thought to herself.

Sudden death in epilepsy is a little-known and seldommentioned phenomenon, but now, after a push by advocates, the federal government has begun a concerted

program to understand it.

Yet a question remains: When, if ever, should patients be warned?

In a way, the extreme reticence of many neurologists to mention sudden unexpected death to epilepsy patients harks back to the days when doctors and families often did not tell people they had cancer — too terrifying. But today, patients learn not just about cancer but about many other potentially fatal conditions, like an inoperable brain aneurysm that could burst at any time and kill a person. So the quiet about the epilepsy death risk appears to be an anomaly.

SUDEP’s name pretty much explains what it is: Someone with epilepsy — unprovoked seizures, which

are electrical surges in the brain — dies, and there is no apparent cause. Often a person with epilepsy goes to bed and is found in the morning, unresponsive. In some cases, there is indirect evidence of a seizure, like urine on the sheets, bloodshot eyes or a severely bitten tongue, leading to the suggestion that preventing seizures as much as possible with medications could lower patients’ risks.

But so much about the syndrome remains unknown.

Neurologists say sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is second to stroke as a cause of years of life lost because of a neurological disorder.

SUDEP kills an estimated 2,600 people a year in the United States — some neurologists say the real figure is almost

certainly higher — or 1 in 1,000 people with epilepsy. For people whose seizures are not controlled with medication, the fatality rate is 1 in 150.

Some 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy. About a third of Americans with epilepsy have uncontrolled seizures, said Dr. Daniel Friedman, an epilepsy researcher at New York University. That means about 1 million Americans could be at high risk of sudden death.

Pearson’s son was having at least 24 seizures a year despite anti-seizure medication. She could not bear to tell him about the sudden death risk. But he found out anyway three months later.

He was meeting with an epilepsy support group near their home in Galveston County in Texas and overheard people discussing it.

Pearson and her son were not alone in finding out about sudden death in epilepsy by accident. Despite the urging of professional organizations like the American Epilepsy Society and leading researchers to give patients the full picture, neurologists shy from a discussion of this phenomenon. The problem is that, at least for now, risk estimates are uncertain, and there are no proven ways to prevent it.

A national study of neurologists found that very few doctors always told people with epilepsy about sudden death. That prompted Dr. William Gaillard, the director of the epilepsy program at the Children’s National Health System, to survey the children’s neurologists in his program. Most said they usually did not mention it to families.

Taking out the space trash proves a galactic chore Despite danger, no remediation plan

BY SAMANTHA MASUNAgA LoS AngeLeS tiMeS

Space junk is getting worse. Could the answer be smart plastic wrap?

That concept, being investigated by Aerospace Corp. of El Segundo, California, involves blasting thousands of tiny, flat spacecraft into

orbit. There they would find and hug the bits and pieces of failed satellites and rockets, dragging them into the atmosphere to burn up.

There are more than 7,000 metric tons of material in the near-Earth space environment, said J.C. Liou, NASA chief scientist for orbital debris. It can slam into an operating satellite or spacecraft at 6 miles per second — faster

than a speeding bullet — which means that even debris the size of a grain of sand could be catastrophic.

No one wants to pay That was shown in 2009, when an operational Iridium satellite collided with an inactive Russian satellite, creating more than 2,000 large pieces of orbital debris and many smaller pieces.

The problem is growing as

more nations and private companies get into the launch business. And it has spurred a number of creative solutions, including a giant net that would scoop up space junk and setting off a bomb to knock it out of orbit.

Most haven’t gotten past the development stage for a simple reason: No one wants to pay for them.

A Rand study on orbital debris published in 2010

found that although the space community agreed that space junk posed a risk, the lack of government and private industry funding to remove it suggested the “perception of risk” had not yet crossed a “critical threshold that would prompt demands for remediation.”

In other words, it’s going to take some expensive space disasters to make it worth investing in a fix.

A miscalculation in gas costs means UGI customers will pay more for natural gas going into the colder season.

UGI announced Wednesday a 22 percent increase in the commodity cost it charges customer for natural gas, the so-called purchased gas cost rates, to $3.72 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas, or Mcf. The increase, which starts today, comes on top of an 11 percent increase that took effect June 1.

The average monthly bill for customers using 8.9 thousand cubic feet of natural gas per month will rise 8.3 percent to $82.43 per month.

The company said it had to levy

such a large increase because of “under-recovery of gas costs” — charging and collecting less than what the company ended up spending to purchase natural gas for its customers.

Utilities must anticipate natural gas demand and the costs of meeting that demand when setting rates. The sometimes imperfect process can lead to over-collections, where overcollected money is used to defray future rates, or under-collections, where customers are asked to pay

Despite the increases, gas rates remain at levels lower than they were a decade ago, before the exploration of the Marcellus Shale made the region an abundant source of natural gas. UGI’s customers continue to benefit for the company’s use of 90 percent of its supplies from locally extracted natural gas.

“Even with this increase, UGI PNG’s residential heating bills remain significantly lower than 2008,” said UGI Vice President of Rates Paul Szykman. “UGI customers have enjoyed both savings and price stability in their natural gas bills in recent years thanks to locallyproduced shale gas.”

“We basically charged less than we paid,” said UGI spokesman Joe Swope.

The dramatic hike mirrors that of some other natural gas utilities in the state. National Fuel Gas, which serves Western Pennsylvania, more than doubled its purchased gas cost rate as of Aug. 1 to $4.42 per Mcf.

u.s. added 177K jobs in August WAshington — U.s. businesses added a solid 177,000 jobs in August, according to a private survey, suggesting that hiring remains healthy after two months of strong gains.

Payroll processor AdP said the job growth was driven by services firms such as retailers, financial services firms, and professional and business services, which includes higher-paying jobs like accountants, engineers and architects. construction firms cut jobs and manufacturing employment was unchanged. the steady hiring could help fuel stronger growth in the second half of this year. growth slumped in the winter and spring, falling to an annual rate of just 1 percent.

Park Kitchen owner and chef Scott Dolich talks about a no-tip policy at his restaurant in Portland, Ore. Some restaurant owners see tipping as a flawed system that creates a pay gulf between staff.

How much is 15 percent of that?

Tip tabulation becoming a thing of the past as more restaurants do away with gratuities By sArAH sKiDMOre seLL AssociAted Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — When the bill comes after a meal, there’s no crunching numbers for the tip — just pay and go.

A small but growing number of restaurants are doing away with the tipping model that’s long been the norm in the United States. It’s an effort to even disparate pay among restaurant staff and offer them more predictability, as well as a means to cope with rising minimum wages and other industry changes. While restaurants that have eliminated the entrenched practice have seen mixed results — and some ended up abandoning the experiment — a number of restaurants are still trying it.

“Everyone is looking at this because there are external issues that are pushing restaurants to look at their bottom line,” said Scott Dolich of Park Kitchen, which dropped tips and raised prices in June.

Mr. Dolich says he can now pay staff equitably. He also revamped shifts so most employees work fulltime and in multiple roles. Wyeth Yogi, who used to work solely in the kitchen, says he enjoys the mix of work and increased pay. But it didn’t go over smoothly with everyone, and nearly all the servers left because of the change.

Some restaurant owners see tipping as a flawed system. Aaron Adams, who owns the no-tips Farm Spirit in Portland, says it creates a “weird dynamic” between the customer and server. His hope is to keep raising pay so his staff can support their families and buy homes.

Tipping also creates a pay gulf between restaurant staff. Research-

A printed explanation of its no-tip policy sits on a table at Park Kitchen in Portland, Ore. ers at Cornell University and Ohio State University found that in large metro areas, the median weekly wages of front-of-house employees exceeded those of back-of-house employees by 29 to 80 percent. At fine dining establishments, where the gap is largest, that means a median of $792 versus $441.

Union Square Hospitality Group, which owns Gramercy Park Tavern and other restaurants in New York, is eliminating tipping at all its properties by the end of 2016 and said thus far guests have largely received it well.

And a handful of notable Portland restaurants announced plans this summer to adopt the model, based on the success of restaurants in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.

Servers in some states also contend with laws that let employers pay less — sometimes below minimum wage — and allow tips to make up the difference.

But minimum wage hikes began to raise restaurant expenses and threatened to widen the pay divide

by increasing the base wage for tipped workers. A chef shortage grew more severe. And for several western states, a court upheld a federal rule that prohibits tip-sharing among all staff members, which used to be commonplace.

Only a handful of U.S. restaurants have adopted the no-tipping model, the National Restaurant Association says. It hasn’t always been a success.

Thad Vogler of Trou Normand and Bar Agricole in San Francisco did away with tips at the beginning of 2015 but brought them back 10 months later because he kept losing staff to competitors that did allow tipping. Joe’s Crab Shack, a national chain, reduced its no-tipping experiment from 18 restaurants to four after a poor response from customers and staff. Robert Merritt, CEO of parent company Ignite Restaurants, said the system needs to change, but “customers and staff spoke very loudly and a lot of them voted with their feet.”

The price tag for Lehigh Valley International Airport’s long-awaited transportation hub came in $2 million higher than expected, but airport officials Tuesday decided to forge ahead with a project that will now cost more than $5 million.

The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority chose a low bid of $5.1 million from W.R. Schultz Inc. of Emmaus to build a one-stop shop outside the main ter minal designed to keep travelers from wandering the LVIA grounds to find rental cars, taxis or buses.

While the sticker price came in well above estimates, that the authority unanimously approved it shows how far airport finances have progressed in the past year. Last year at this time, all capital projects were on hold while airport executives sold assets to make the final payment on a $26 million court judgment against the authority for taking a developer’s land in the 1990s.

For passengers, the project will help shorten what can be a long trek to a rental car or taxi stand. But is that worth $5 million?

“When you are being compared to Newark and Philadelphia [airports], the passenger experience matters,” said Charles Everett Jr., authority executive director.

“Walking a half-mile to the terminal isn’t a very good experience.”

Mr. Everett explained that four bids ranging from $5.1 million to $5.9 million were higher than expected, in part because the project’s winter schedule forced contractors to expect higher costs for materials that typically increase when plants close for the season.

The project is scheduled to begin this month and be ready for passengers as early as late January. It includes demolishing the vacant former air por t firehouse, extending the end of the main terminal to add a waiting lounge and adding a circular driveway for cars and buses. The rental car lot — now several hundred yards from baggage claim — will be moved closer to the terminal on the site of the firehouse, and a series of shelters where people can wait will be constructed. The clear plastic and steel shelters will be accompanied by covered walkways that will protect passengers from rain and snow while they walk to the terminal.

Because the current parking areas are so far away that they can’t be seen from the terminal, Mr. Everett said, passengers often get lost Please see AirPOrt, Page A5

GRATUITY: Seeing mixed success AIRPORT: Parking issues addressed From Page a4

Still, Union Square Hospitality Group, which owns Gramercy Park Tavern and other restaurants in New York, is eliminating tipping at all its properties by the end of 2016 and said thus far guests have largely received it well. A handful of notable Portland restaurants announced plans this summer to adopt the model, based on the success of restaurants in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.

“Everyone is looking at this because there are external issues that are pushing restaurants to look at their bottom line,” said Scott Dolich of Park Kitchen, which dropped tips and raised prices in June.

Mr. Dolich says he can now pay staff equitably. He also revamped shifts so most employees work full-time in multiple roles. Wyeth Yogi, who used to work solely in the kitchen, says he enjoys the mix of work and increased pay. But it didn’t go over smoothly with

everyone. Nearly all the servers left because of the change.

Other restaurants saw similar issues. ChefStable, which runs several Portland restaurants, tested a no-tipping model at its bar Loyal Legion over a year ago. Owner Kurt Huffman said he realized it was a mistake after watching customers push cash toward his staff and them having to refuse it.

“It didn’t just not work,” he said. “It was a revelation as to what a terrible idea it is to begin with.”

wanderingthroughaseemingly endless collection of lots.

“One of our biggest complaints was from people walking 1,000 paces in the wind, rain or snow,” he said.

“This takes care of that.”

The project not only puts the LANTA bus station next to the terminal, but for the first time also moves the Trans-Bridge bus station onto the airport grounds from its location a mile

away, said J. Michael Dowd, authority board chairman.

“What makes Lehigh Valley attractive is that it’s much more convenient than the hassle you have in Newark and Philly,” Mr. Dowd said. “Furthering that experience is where we can have an edge.”

A big reason the authority can sustain such a hike in project costs is that most of the money won’t be coming from its $21 million annual budget. A state grant will

cover $1.75 million of it, but the authority will get $1.8 million by tapping a $2 per day fee it added last year to all rental car costs, and $484,000 from a $4.50 fee every passenger pays when buying a ticket for a flight.

The higher cost does mean the authority will have to dip into those fees longer — up to five years for the rental fee, Mr. Everett said.

The remaining $751,000 will come from the authority’s general fund.

militant: Conflicting claims over who targeted al-Adnani

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Pope John Paul II, right, holds his arm around Mother Teresa as they ride in the popemobile outside the Home of the Dying in Calcutta, India, in February 1986.

Sainthood: Mother Teresa documented period of spiritual ‘darkness’ in letters from page a1 That said, her blind faith in enduring the “darkness,” as she called it, and persevering through it seems almost superhuman to outsiders.

Take the Feb. 28, 1957 letter she wrote the then-archbishop of Kolkata, Jesuit Archbishop Ferdinand Perier.

“There is so much contradiction in my soul. Such deep longing for God, so deep that it is painful, a suffering continual, and yet not wanted by God, repulsed, empty, no faith, no love no zeal,” she wrote. “Souls hold no attraction. Heaven means nothing, to me it looks like an empty place. The thought of it means nothing to me and yet this torturing longing for God.” “Pray for me please that I keep smiling at him in spite of everything.”

In another letter, she acknowledged that her smile was “a big cloak which covers a multitude of pains.”

‘There is so much contradiction in my soul.’

MoTher Teresa In Feb. 28, 1957 letter Revelations that the smile was a mask to inner doubts about God’s presence fueled criticism of Mother Teresa — spearheaded most famously by the late Christopher Hitchens — that the Balkan nun was something of a fraud.

Kolodiejchuk, though, says she was no hypocrite. He said that the smile was a genuine and heroic attempt to hide her private sufferings, even from God, and prevent others from suffering more.

“You can be joyful even if you’re suffering because you are accepting, and you are working and acting with love that gives meaning to the suffering,” he said in the courtyard of one of the Missionar-

ies of Charity houses on the periphery of Rome.

The revelations nevertheless shocked even Mother Teresa’s closest confidants and friends, the original sisters who joined her Missionaries of Charity after she was inspired to found the order in 1946. Kolodiejchuk said several sisters wept when he first read them her letters after he acquired them in 1998 from the archives of the Jesuits and archbishop in Kolkata.

Sister Prema, the current superior general of the Missionaries of Charity, recalled being in awe of the revelation and not being able even today to fully understand the depth of Mother Teresa’s pain.

“It took me some time, and it still takes me time, to reflect about it and to understand it more deeply,” she said in an interview. “I think a soul who has not experienced it (the darkness) will not be able to understand what it is about.

This is some mystery of the spiritual life which souls who know about it can connect with and associate with, but souls who do not know, we stand before a mystery.”

Asked if she was in that latter group, the German nun paused and said quietly: “Yes.” Kolodiejchuk, the postulator for the cause, says that in retrospect, Mother Teresa’s “darkness” was actually a critical part of her vocation, kept hidden from the world that only saw a firm but loving mother superior who was the first in the chapel each morning and often worked herself to exhaustion at night tending to society’s most unloved.

“We assumed at least she was enjoying this wonderful consoling union and love from Jesus,” he said. “But we discover, no it’s even the opposite. For me, this darkness is the single most heroic aspect of her life.”

from page a1 Still, both the Islamic State group — and its forerunner, alQaida in Iraq — have overcome past leadership losses, said Joscelyn, editor of the Long War Journal.

News of al-Adnani’s death sparked conflicting claims from Washington and Moscow over who targeted him. Russia said Wednesday it killed him along with 40 other militants in a strike in the northwestern Syrian city of Aleppo.

Washington said al-Adnani was targeted by a U.S. airstrike on the nearby city of al-Bab, though U.S. officials were still confirming his death.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said Wednesday that Washington had no information “to support Russia’s claim.”

The IS-run Aamaq news agency announced Tuesday that al-Adnani was “martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns in Aleppo.” It didn’t provide details.

A U.S. defense official said al-Adnani was believed to have been hit as he was getting into a vehicle in al-Bab, an IS stronghold in Aleppo province that is targeted by Americanand Turkish-backed fighters in the push against the extremist group. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence information.

The Soufan Group, a Washington-based consultancy firm that monitors IS activities, said that if confirmed, al-Adnani’s death would be one of IS’s “most significant personnel losses.”

“The death of al-Adnani could blunt the group’s siren song to terror, both directed and inspired,” the Soufan Group said, though it cautioned that al-Adnani’s death is unlikely to bring a halt to IS attacks abroad. IS has already had plenty of time to put plans in place for further strikes, it said.

As a main recruiter of for-

eign fighters, al-Adnani is believed to have planned and put in action attacks such as the November 2015 Paris attacks that killed more than 100 people. He is also believed to have directed the attacks on the Brussels and Istanbul airports, and the bloody hostage attack in Bangladesh.

The downing of a Russian passenger plane in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula as well as the December 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, and the assault in June on a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, also happened under al-Adnani’s watch.

Over 1,800 people were killed and 4,000 wounded in attacks overseen by al-Adnani, said a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

He also oversaw attacks in Baghdad that killed more than 300 people, carried out in retaliation for the Iraqi military’s recapture earlier this year of Fallujah, said two Iraqi officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

Al-Adnani, whose real name was Taha Sobhi Falaha, was born in the northern Syrian province of Idlib.

Details of his militant career emerged in online eulogies and statements by the Islamic State group and its supporters.

Al-Adnani was one of the first to pledge allegiance to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who founded the precursor of IS after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. He rose to be one of his most trusted advisers, and supporters say that al-Zarqawi once told al-Adnani: “Don’t consult me, just brief me.”

A powerful orator, he went on to become the voice of IS. He released numerous audio files online in which he delivered fiery sermons urging followers to kill civilians in nations that supported the U.S.led coalition against the group.
