Sheriff lieutenant Wyoming Area teachers hit picket line as sides cant agree on retroactive pay resigns amid theft accusation
jandes@timesleader.com
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
A 14-yetar Luzerne County employee recently promoted to sheriff lieutenant abruptly resigned last week after he took $375 from his ofce. The employee, Donald Lasoski, acknowledged Tuesday he took the money with plans to repay it before anyone noticed. He said he worked hard in his county position and needed cash for a personal issue. He said he regrets his decision. Three well-placed sources said Lasoski indicated he is struggling with a gambling problem. Lasoski, of Wilkes-Barre, said he agreed to resign and has repaid the county in full. He said he wont be collecting unem- Lasoski ployment because he has other employment. County ofcials reported the incident to the county District Attorneys Ofce, though its still unclear if the ofce will le charges. Kingston resident Brian Shiner, a citizen watchdog, said Tuesday he visited the District Attorneys Ofce and the WilkesBarre Police Department on Tuesday to encourage them to le charges. Shiner said employees caught taking money should be terminated and not be permitted to resign. It cant be swept under the carpet. Were not going to tolerate this any longer, Shiner said. County Chief Solicitor C. David Pedri conrmed there was a theft and that Lasoski resigned but would not verify the two were related, citing personnel condentiality. Pedri told council in an email the $375 was discovered missing from the prisoner transport fund during a routine review by an employee in the ofce. The fund typically carries a balance of $750 to cover tolls, gas and other miscellaneous expenses for depSee SHERIFF | 10A

Teachers from Wyoming Area School District walk the picket line Tuesday outside Montgomery Avenue Elementary School on the first day of the strike.

EXETER Its been 36 years since Wyoming Area teachers went on strike, but they got support Tuesday from a man who not only was there in 1977 but also who showed up Tuesday with what some dubbed a vintage sign from that long-ago picket line. I kept it in the cellar, retired teacher Charlie Burns said as he stood outside Montgomery Avenue Elementary School while teachers walked the picket line for the rst day of what could potentially be a monthlong strike. Its part of my history. Union leaders insist the school board pushed them into a strike by failing to come to an affordable agree-
ment after nearly four years of talks, even though, as lead negotiator John Holland said, the two sides are a whisker away from settling. District lead negotiator attorney John Dean counters that the board has made multiple major concessions and increased overall pay raises in its last offer, to the point it cannot afford any more. I dont buy it, Holland said as he walked the picket line outside the district Secondary Center in Exeter early Tuesday. He cited two fact-nder reports requested over the last few years by the board. Its not what our numbers demonstrate and not what the fact nders found, he said, adding the board rejected proposals by both fact nders.
The strike disrupts more than family plans, student education and teacher pay. Holland and union President Melissa Dolman noted trade unions working on renovations at Montgomery Elementary refused to cross a picket line there. At Montgomery, teachers walked past new steps and an unnished handicap access ramp outside the schools front doors, yellow tape blocking most of the path into the building, no trade workers in sight.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama gained ground Tuesday in his drive for congressional backing of a military strike against Syria, winning critical support from House Speaker John Boehner while key Senate Democrats and Republicans agreed to back a no-combattroops-on-the-ground action in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack. Ofcials said the emerging Senate measure would receive a vote today in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Approval is likely. Youre probably going to win Congress backing, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a conservative senator and likely opponent of the measure, conceded in a late-afternoon exchange with Secretary of State John Kerry.

BUTLER TWP. So, when the Hazleton Area Academy of Science opens its doors to students for the rst time Thursday, what will make this high school so different? For starters, students had to undergo an application process, including a test.
Then there are the new Windows 8 tablet computers every student will get, which will allow them, among other things, to review teacher lectures after school at home or, well, pretty much anywhere, anytime. The class offerings are heavy on advanced-level science, technology, engineering and math, the so-called STEM subjects Which

makes sense, since the district touts the new academy as the regions rst STEM school. Its also frequently referred to as the areas rst magnet school, a term that generally means the school has a focus on specic subjects or elds designed to draw students to it. There are also classes held off-campus with partners such as The Commonwealth
Medical College, as well opportunities to take college courses not college level, actual college courses, complete with credits toward a degree right inside the school. Did we mention the walls move?

DALLAS TWP. Carl Alber, township zoning ofcer, discussed transient licensing with the supervisors at their September work meeting Tuesday night. Alber wants to change an existing ordinance that requires registration and a license of those wishing to sell door-todoor within the township. He wanted the registration process to include criminal
background checks. Alber said he wanted to request three types of background checks on those who sell in the township. He said the $38 cost of the state police, FBI and the Department of Public Welfare background checks should be paid by those who apply to the township for licensing. Township solicitor Thomas Brennan said he needed to know what changes would be required and that he would like to get the revised ordinance ready for the next meeting. Alber also wanted to address problems with rental housing in the town-
ship by requiring inspections of rental properties. Board Vice Chairwoman Liz Martin agreed that the increase in the number of township homes used as rental properties has created problems. She said the township had received complaints about college students parking illegally and crossing over peoples property in residential neighborhoods. Brennan advised Alber that house inspections would be too time-consuming. We dont have the manpower, he said. Brennan suggested Alber address the rental problem by lis-
tening to those who complained and by enforcing a present ordinance that allows no more than four unrelated residents to live in a rental property. Also, supervisors discussed a letter from PennDOT about weight restrictions on township bridges. Supervisors instructed Roadmaster Martin Barry to contact the state about having bridge inspections. The township will be responsible for posting weight limit signs on any bridges that cannot support heavy truck trafc. The next supervisors meeting will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 17.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County judge on Tuesday pushed back the trial date of a man charged with murder to begin one week later to allow attorneys in the case to le important court papers. Judge Richard Hughes scheduled the trial of Breon Judon to begin Sept. 30 after attorneys in the case led papers last week and Tuesday morning. Hughes said attorneys have one week to respond to those requests and that he will then issue a decision. Hazleton city police and county detectives say Mitchell Dedes, 18, and Judon, 20, of North Lafayette Court, Hazleton, set up a deal to sell crack cocaine to Aaron Reznick, 29, of Hazleton, on Aug. 4, 2012. Mitchell pleaded guilty last week to a thirddegree murder charge. The two men were originally scheduled to stand trial on Sept. 23. Reznick did not have money but offered his iPhone to Dedes and Judon as collateral, authorities said. Dedes and Judon blamed each other for causing fatal injuries to Reznick.

HAZLETON City Council passed an amended Stormwater Collection and Management Ordinance on Tuesday night to adresses drainage problems. Council members hope the ordinance will facilitate maintenance of its stormwater system, including inlets, culverts, gutters, manholes and infiltration facilities. Although many attendees said that had the system been consistently maintained, there would be no need for the ordinance, Council President James Perry said This is a new day, lets move forward. Resident Judy Yurcho addressed council, saying she hoped the ordinance would correct current stormwater problems and she would not be back 10 or 20 years from now, addressing council on the same issue. Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority chairman Gary Veneroso said the authority has always been willing to work with the city on sewer and stormwater challenges. After the ordinance had passed, resident Dee Deakus said a possibility of a year in prison for vio-
lation of the ordinance was excessive and something like debtors prison. In another matter, Chief of Police Frank DeAngelo supported an ordinance regulating yard sales, including the number permissible per year, the removal of signs in a timely manner and a fee schedule. The yard sale ordinance was approved on its first reading. Upon final approval, five yard sales would be permitted per year per household, all must have permits and the first three will be without charge. DeAngelo also spoke about the amendment of present animal control, fireworks, firearms and park curfew ordinances. He said the amendments would make enforcement easier and more expedient. The amendment was also approved on its first reading. In another matter, a resolution passed allowing Hazleton Area School District security officers to enforce parking laws and codes within a two-block radius of Hazleton Area schools. Perry encouraged area residents to attend the Fun Fest which will take place over the coming weekend. The next meeting of City Council will be at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 19.

KINGSTON Municipal ofcials called attention to the recently lowered ISO insurance ratings during Tuesday nights regular council meeting. The Insurance Services Ofce rating relates to the re department. Recent increases in staff levels, improvement in equipment and the maintenance of high-quality ow rates on re hydrants have caused ratings levels to drop from four to three.
The lower ratings mean that homeowners insurance rates could possibly go down for homeowners within the municipality. Councilman Robert Thompson Jr. differentiated between re and ood protection. He said homeowners should alert their insurance providers as to the change, but noted the insurers are likely to act on the change anyway. In the case of ood insurance, however, Thompson suggested residents always inform their carriers of relevant municipal changes as they happen.
Also on Tuesday, Municipal Administrator Paul Keating said the current part-time building inspector, available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., will likely transition into a full-time employee in the coming months. The borough also intends to hire two new full-time police ofcers, bringing the ranks to a total of 19. One of the new hires will be a replacement for a recent retiree, while the other will simply serve to bolster the department. The next regular council meeting will ne at 7 p.m. Oct. 7.

Luzerne County Councilman Rick Williams formally announced his candidacy for another term to an audience of about 30 supporters on the steps of the county courthouse Tuesday afternoon. Williams, 64, of Kingston, had to join the race after the May primary because he is a registered Independent. An architect for more than 30 years, Williams has a masters degree in business, a bachelors degree in civil engineering and a masters of architecture. Williams said his rst 20 months in ofce under the new home rule government have been tough work because the county has nancial struggles and hundreds of millions of dollars in outstanding debt. Were working hard to put in place systems and procedures so the staff has tools to
provide the excellent services that citizens deserve and for which taxpayers are paying, said Williams, who was accompanied by his wife, Linda, and one of his two children, Lily. As part of efforts to increase transparency and openness, council has implemented a public application process to attract more citizens to serve on county boards and authorities, he said. Williams said he wants another term to focus more on long-term quality-of-life issues, including transportation enhancements and improvements that will connect our communities, such as bike lanes, sidewalks and trail systems. He promised to push for more regionalization among counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the 76 municipalities in Luzerne County. Its tough work, but it needs to be done, and we need to start now, Williams said.
Luzerne County Councilman Rick Williams, a registered Independent, announced his plans to seek another term Tuesday afternoon outside the county courthouse in Wilkes-Barre.
Williams said in his media announcement he has provided an independent, positive voice in county council deliberations. He said he is beholden to no political party and is not loyal to any
majority or minority. Williams also said he: Voted against a 2012 budget that relied on bond money to cover operating expenses and voted for a balanced 2013 budget that did not raise taxes.
Supported a new financial software system for better monitoring and reporting and pushed for the upcoming online posting of all emails exchanged between council members.

HARVEYS LAKE Scott Meuser said he wants to be a good neighbor. But the residents around a property he hopes to buy at 207 Lakeside Drive question the outcome if he is able to use the property for a private rowing club, where he said he wants to host students learning to row crew. Meuser requested a zoning variance and argued his case at a zoning hearing Tuesday at the borough building. Mark Sobeck, who lives near the proposed property, voiced
concern that seemed to be the same as others living near the property. They opposed change that might disrupt the scenery theyve known for most of their lives. Ive been here 32 years, Sobeck said. And its a new thing. Im against someone changing my neighborhood. Meuser sits on the board of directors for Wyoming Seminary. He said this year students are forming a rowing club. He said, given the fact that there would be only one coach and rough water is not conducive to rowing crew, the students would be limited to how many could be out on the
water at one time and what time of day. In the sport of crew, rowers sit single le in long skinny boats and row in time with each other. Meuser said he hopes to install a coach in the house being sold with the dock. Meuser rowed crew in college and said he wants to help pass on the tradition, starting with the students at Wyoming Seminary. If he sees a growing interest in the sport, he said, he will consider opening the doors to rowers who would like to learn outside the Wyoming Seminary community. Some residents were concerned about parked cars at
the club impeding trafc. Others said many long crew boats would disrupt the regular ow of boats and swimmers in Harveys Lake. One said noise made by young rowers and their coaches would cause a disruption during the early morning when shermen get out on the water. Meuser reiterated he is willing to follow any restrictions the zoning board might place on his business for which he said he would pursue a non-prot status should the interest grow enough to require paid memberships. The hours, the parking, the trafc, all of these things can be
controlled, Meuser said. I go by the good-neighbor standard. At the meetings end, the board agreed to table the vote to review the application submitted by Meusers lawyer, C.J. Bufalino. The board agreed to make its decision at the next meeting on Oct. 1. In other business, Steve Vieczorek who owns the dock at pole 140, agreed to reduce his dock to its original size. Vieczorek had been issued a stop-work order by the zoning ofcer for expanding his dock without proper permits. An on-site inspection is planned an hour before the next zoning hearing board meeting.

WILKES-BARRE Megan Panowiczs mental inrmity defense in the case of a hit-and-run that killed a woman in 2008 is several years too late, a prosecutor contended in legal papers. The ling of court papers notifying a senior judge that defense attorneys seek to admit evidence that Panowicz, 28, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder is also an attempt to delay of her Sept. 23 trial, Deputy Attorney General Clarke Madden said in court papers led Tuesday.
Panowicz, of Forty Forty, is charged in the August 2008 death of Sharon Shaughnessy, who was killed on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston when she was reportedly struck by three vehicles. Panowicz has a longstanding disorder that causes her to avoid stressful situations by attempting to over self control, her attorneys said in a ling last month. Her attorneys, her father, Robert Panowicz, and Basil Russin, said they intend to call two doctors as well as Panowicz and her mother, Cheryl Panowicz, to prove
the inrmity defense. The events which caused her to have post traumatic stress rendered her incapable of appreciating the signicance or consequences of her behavior and affected her ability to determine what was right or wrong at that crucial moment, the attorneys wrote. Madden said in his ling that under state rules governing criminal procedures, Panowiczs attorneys had a certain time frame after her arraignment in March 2009 to le the mental inrmity defense, but did not. The notice (of the
mental inrmity defense) is not weeks, months or seasons overdue; it is literally years past the deadline, Madden wrote. Madden wrote Panowicz has not attempted to account for this hugely prejudicial delay and has only done so by gamesmanship. Madden asks that Panowicz be precluded from presenting the defense to a jury at her Sept. 23 trial. Senior Judge Charles Brown has not yet scheduled a hearing on the matter, and will ultimately make a ruling.
WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County jury was selected Tuesday to hear the case of a Nanticoke man charged with an armed robbery at a Plymouth Township strip club in March 2012.

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio has surged to a commanding lead in the citys Democratic mayoral primary, raising for the rst time all campaign the possibility that a runoff may not be needed to pick a nominee. A poll from Quinnipiac University shows de Blasio is the choice of 43 percent of likely Democratic voters, the highest mark any candidate has tallied all year. It also is the rst time that any candidate has passed the 40 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff; if no one passes that mark, the top two nishers in the Sept. 10 primary advance to a showdown three weeks later. Former comptroller Bill Thompson places a distance second at 20 percent, according to the poll, which was released Tuesday. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is at 18 percent.

Developers for this unfinished 37-story skyscraper in central London say they are investigating the way the building reflects bright sunlight after claims that the intense glare melted parts of a car parked nearby. The companies behind the skyscraper, nicknamed the WalkieTalkie because of its curved shape, are responding to complaints from the owner of a Jaguar who said the mirror, panels and the Jaguar badge had all melted from the concentrated heat of sunlight reflected from the building. Locals also say the buildings heat also burned a hole in the welcome mat of a barber shop across the street.
Researchers unearthed the remains of two children buried at a former reform school that had a history of extreme abuse, and the bones will be analyzed in hopes of identifying the children and determining how they died, the anthropologist leading the excavation said Tuesday. Based on the size of the remains, the children probably were between the ages of 10 and 13 when they died, said Erin Kimmerle, the University of South Florida professor who is heading the project to exhume an estimated 50 graves. The remains were buried close to each other, but one had a very elaborate cofn and the other was plain, Kimmerle said. The cofns were different sizes and one was found a little less than 1.5 feet below the surface and the other more than 2.5 feet below the ground.
MARIANNA, FLA.
PHILADELPHIA The family of an arts school graduate killed in a deadly building demolition while she shopped at a Salvation Army store in Philadelphia led the rst wrongful-death lawsuit Tuesday over the collapse. The June building collapse in Philadelphia killed six people, including 24-year-old Mary Lea Simpson of suburban Haverford and her childhood friend. The young women were dropping off clothes and shopping when a high brick wall on an adjacent building left unsupported during demolition collapsed onto the small thrift store, trapping 19 people. The Simpson familys lawsuit blames the Salvation Army, adjacent building owner Richard Basciano and his demolition contractors, among others, for her death. Even a child playing with building blocks should understand that if you pile blocks up in a wall and you dont support it, and you subject it to vibration and
movement its going to fall, family lawyer Steven Wigrizer said. Wigrizer had previously sued Basciano over the 1997 death of a Philadelphia judge killed when part of a garage collapsed on a sidewalk, securing a multimillion-dollar settlement amid jury selection, he said. Now we see outrageously bad decision-making by the same group. So theres a pattern and practice of negligence here, he said Tuesday. The lawsuit faults the Salvation Army for keeping the store open amid the demolition, and Basciano and contractors Grifn Campbell and Sean Benschop for crafting a risky plan and starting work before securing permits. Basciano, once dubbed the porn king of Times Square, was redeveloping a seedy block of Market Street at the edge of Philadelphias business hub. He and the Salvation Army were feuding over the demolition plan in the months and weeks leading up to the collapse, according to emails released by the city. Basciano wanted access to the area
above the Salvation Army, so he could use a bucket truck to remove the four-story brick wall by hand, as demolition experts recommend. But the negotiations stalled, even as Bascianos lawyers warned of the risk to the public. The delay posed a threat to life, limb and public safety, Bascianos lawyers warned the Salvation Army. However, an architect for the Salvation Army had found both buildings stable on May 20, and the charity was told no structural demolition would begin until the disputes were resolved, lawyer Eric Weiss said Tuesday. A video shot June 2 shows an excavator being used to tear down part of the building. They went in there, didnt tell us, and started knocking things out, Weiss said. A criminal grand jury investigation is underway. Benschop, the only person charged to date, is due in court Sept. 17 for a preliminary hearing in his involuntary manslaughter case. His wife has called him a scapegoat. Lawyers for Benschop and Campbell did not immediately return calls for comment Tuesday.

The North abruptly called off the ofcial visit
because it said the U.S. had ruined the atmosphere for talks by holding a drill over South Korea with nuclear-capable B-52 bombers. Rodman said the purpose of his visit was to display his friendship for Kim and North Korea and to show people around the world that we as Americans can actually get along with North Korea. Speaking to reporters in Beijing ahead of his ight to Pyongyang his second trip to the North Rodman declined to say whether he would seek Baes release.

WASHINGTON It was an accident investigators say didnt have to happen: Five years ago a commuter train collided headon with a freight train near Los Angeles, killing 25 and injuring more than 100. Technology is available to prevent the most catastrophic collisions, but the railroad industry and its allies in Congress are trying to push back a deadline for installing the systems until at least 2020. The National Transportation Safety Board had urged as far back as 1970 that railroads install technology to prevent the most catastrophic types of collisions, including head-on crashes. The technology is known as positive train control or PTC. It absolutely has to be done, and the sooner the better, said Frank Kohler, a former critical care nurse who was a passenger on the commuter train. He awakened an hour and a half after the accident, on the ground with his head split open. Hes unable to work and suffers from a low tolerance for stress, headaches and memory loss. I wish (the safety systems) were in place ve or six years ago, Kohler said in an interview. It would have helped me. Under alawenactedby Congress a month after the accident, the systems are supposed to be up and running by Dec. 31, 2015. But only a handful of railroads are expected to meet that deadline. The rest of the industry says despite spending billions of dollars on the systems, they face logistical and technical hurdles and need more time. Four senators with industry ties recently introduced a bill to extend the deadline an additional ve to seven years. This is not an issue where the industry is trying to get out of this mandate, said Ed Hamberger, president and CEO of the Association of American Railroads. We have invested too much in it already, and it is in our best interest to get it done as soon as possible. But safety, labor and passenger advocates are skeptical that most railroads will ever implement the system without more government pressure. When they are pushing for a ve-year extension with no changes you have to wonder if they arent hoping that some deregulatory White House will come along before then and just lift the burden, said Ross Capon, president and CEO of the National Association of Railroad Passengers. Its one thing to say we cant get it all done by the end of 2015. Its quite another thing to say we want a blanket, industry-wide pass for ve more years, he said. Thats suggestive of bad faith.

Strike
From page 1A union members had signs saying Stop the parent tax. A new website set up by the union, wateachers.com, argues Hundreds of local families will be saddled with the additional cost of securing child care during the strike, estimating a family could pay as much as $900 for three weeks of day care and babysitters if the strike lasts that long. By state law, the strike can last until it endangers the districts ability to complete 180 days of school by June 15, at which point the state would seek a court injunction forcing teachers to return to work. The exact date would be determined by the state, calculating how many holiday and vacation days could be used to make up for time lost to the strike, but Holland acknowledged it could last about four weeks. Barring a settlement, he added, were here for the duration. The union can strike a second time, but that strike must end in time to complete 180 days by Jun 30. In fact, unions often stage a strike near the start of the school year to maximize the potential length. Waiting until after some holidays have already passed means there are fewer chances to make up for days lost to a strike, thus shortening how long teachers can walk the line before bumping up to that June 15 deadline. The principal sticking point at Wyoming Area, where teachers have worked under the terms of an expired contract since August 2010, is pay, with a particular focus on what happens retroactively for the 2011-12 school year. Holland and Dolman contend the board only has changed its offers by shufing the same money around over the course of its proposed six-year contract, without offering any actual changes in salary raises during recent negotiations. year despite the fact that the contract expired at the start of that year. The true freeze proposal required teachers to completely forego any step or column raises for 2011-12. Dean said at least three other area districts Crestwood, Northwest Area and Mahanoy Area in Schuylkill County hammered out recent deals with true freezes. Wyoming Area teachers balked, noting such a freeze impacts earnings for the rest of a teachers career because it takes a year longer to reach the top step. The number of steps varies from district to district; the expired Wyoming Area contract had 15 steps. When the board withdrew the true pay freeze request, it offered to grant the 2011-12 step increase on paper, but not in cash, asking the union to forgo the actual retroactive pay for one year. So a teacher who was on, say, step 10 in 201011 would be ofcially on step 11 in 2011-12, but would get no retroactive pay for that raise. In 2012-13, that teacher would be on step 12 and get the raises required for both step 11 and 12. The move would mean teachers delay getting a step raise for 201112, but would get a bigger raise for 2012-13. that move would save the district about $260,000, Dean said. Dean said at the last negotiations the union asked the board to tweak the offer, and the board agreed to modestly increases annual raises. The upshot was to increase the total raises across the six-year offer from 12.25 percent to 12.5 percent, Dean said, but the union rejected the proposal.
FREELAND Tuesdays borough council meeting was canceled because of threats that were made against one or more borough ofcials, borough police conrmed late Tuesday afternoon. An ofcer said charges would be led in the matter and he expected to release more information later Tuesday night, but no further information was forthcoming prior to press time. Neither Mayor Tami Martin nor Council President Robert Quinn could be reached for comment.
Burns recollection
For Burns, who retired in 2006 after teaching in the district since 1974, the new strike has echos of that distant picket line. Then as now, the union had negotiated for about three years with no real movement by the board, he said, and decided to strike in September of 1977. The rst strike lasted about a month, with a second strike staged in February. There were two big differences, Burns noted. Back then, state law did not mandate a strike end before threatening the 180 school day rule, and the year ended up being shortened by 11 days. In the long run, Burns added, that impacted the amount of his pension, though only by a small amount. The other difference: Back then my pay was about $11,000, he said. When I started I made $7,100. Born in Wyoming, graduated from the district and with two children who are alumni, Burns said the teachers deserve support now. These are good people.
Administrations viewpoint
Dean insisted that is not true. He said the board dropped an effort to get teachers to pay part of their insurance premium, and that more recently the board dropped a demand that teachers accept a true pay freeze for 2011-12. The term has proven to be a frequent point of misunderstanding. The crux lies in the traditional system of step and column pay increases typically built into teacher contracts. For a set number of years, teachers are guaranteed annual raises known as step raises. They are also guaranteed raises every time they achieve a set levels of post-graduate education, known as column raises. Dean said teachers received a step raise for the 2010-11 school

WILKES-BARRE A transformer failure left thousands of PPL Electric Utilities customers without power in the city and neighboring Plains Township on Tuesday afternoon. We had a problem at a substation on River Street, and it resulted in an outage between 1 and 1:30 p.m., PPL spokesman Rich Beasley said. About 6,000 customers were without power during the height of the incident, Beasley said. According to PPLs website, about 3,700 of the affected customers were in Plains, with the balance in Wilkes-Barre. Neighbors in the area of Union Street reported a loud bang in the area of a transformer. Beasley said the noise was not an explosion, but the sound a transformer makes when it is tripped. Nothing exploded, he said. Wilkes-Barre Fire Chief Jay Delaney said the department initially was dispatched at 1:03 p.m. to 345 N. Pennsylvania Ave., where they arrived to nd PPL crews at work xing a problem on a power pole.

From page 1A laws, what are the legal aspects.
Corporate center
The academy is housed in what had been a pre-built shell in the Can Do Corporate Center. The district spent more than $6 million setting up everything inside since construction started last December. Strictly speaking, district Superintendent Francis Antonelli noted, the academy is a program of the Hazleton Area High School, not a separate school. In fact, its already been underway, after a fashion, with 180 students at the high school who were considered academy students last year. They were in a lot of different classrooms separately, Ernst said, The only time they were completely together with their magnet group was in their science classes. This year they will be in their own building, and there will be about 325 of them, Ernst said. Antonelli said the academy will teach grades nine through 11 this year and add 12th grade next year. Maximum enrollment is about 125 per grade, or 500 students. How do you get in? There is an application process that looks at grades, PSSA (state test) scores, teacher recommendations that include how much the student participates and the work ethic of the student, Ernst said. The student must complete a science problem, analyzing data and writing a hypothesis. Students are given a score from 0 to 100, though Ernst stressed thats not simply an average of test grades, its a scale created for her and other teachers involved in the selection process to gauge students. Get 70 or better, and you get a crack at enrollment. Eligible students can enter the academy at any grade, though they can get in
The Hazleton Area School District Academy of Sciences building in Can-Do Corporate Center in Butler Township will open its doors on Thursday.
only at the start of either of two annual semesters, Ernst said. Likewise, if they decide the academy isnt a good t, they can return to the main high school at the end of a semester.
State requirements
The academy teaches everything required by the state all the English, history, civics and other non STEM subjects, but a student is much more likely to get a dose of science in those subjects, and certainly has a deeper range of options in the STEM offerings.
We have introduction to computer science, Java, two levels of anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, robotics, organic chemistry Ernst rattled off. The school lends itself to teaching across disciplines because the walls move. The Academy is also collaborating with area colleges to bring professors on campus and provide credit courses at reduced tuition. This year a Penn State Hazleton professor will be offering engineering courses at one-quarter tuition, while two Luzerne County
Community College teachers will provide Chemistry courses for about onethird the LCCC tuition. Antonelli noted PPL offers nancial assistance for students who want to take college courses but cant. The academy is also big on business partners both to arrange for students to get out in the eld and learn by doing and by bringing people from businesses into the school. We have a partnership with The Commonwealth Medical College last year during the pilot program that sent
students to the college for 10 Saturdays where they worked with medical faculty and students in their labs, on real lab problems, Antonelli said. Cabot Oil & Gas has also teamed with the district to come in and present the business side of the industry and the controversial drilling procedure of hydraulic fracturing dubbed fracking. Academy teachers cover some aspects, a Cabot representative covers others, and environmentalist can be brought in to give that perspective, Antonelli said. Students see the issue form varying viewpoints and can draw their own conclusions, he said. Antonelli stressed the effort to set up more collaborations so students can get real-world experience working on problems in their own community. The idea is to include a lot of project-based learning, he said. The technology in the school is all geared toward such projects: computer tablets, computerized smart boards in every room, the use of lecture capture to allow students to review teacher lessons at will online. They can create PowerPoint presentations, videos, arrange and hold town-hall style meetings, Ernst said. We want students to be able to express knowledge in different ways. While the application process makes the school selective, its not exclusive. Students with disabilities get full access and assistance as needed if they get in. And at the end of the day or more exactly, the end of 12th grade they still are Hazleton Area High School students, graduating with the students at the main building rather than having a separate ceremony. We are tremendously excited, Antonelli said as the opening day approached. We think its going to be a wonderful opportunity for the students, for the entire Hazleton Area School District, and for the community.
Sheriff
From page 1A uties who must transport prisoners. When the theft was conrmed, Interim Sheriff John Robshaw immediately reported the matter to the District Attorneys Ofce and also alerted Pedri, Judicial Services and Records Division Head Joan Hoggarth and Human Resources Director Andrew Check, Pedri said. We confronted the individual who admitted to possessing these funds in my ofce. This individual then offered an immediate resignation from the sheriffs department. It was explained to this individual that any resignation would be in lieu of termination, which was agreed to, Pedri said. He said county ofcials swiftly addressed the issue. The entire matter was completed on the countys side in a matter of hours. The matter was ushed out, immediately reported to law enforcement, immediately reviewed by the proper individuals within county government and appropriately handled. In short, it was exactly the type of response the citizens of Luzerne County need and are entitled to, Pedri told council. Lasoski was paid $35,550 annually in the county position. He was among three sheriff deputies promoted to lieutenant in April as part of Robshaws plan to create a command structure in the ofce. The lieutenants received $4,000 raises and had to leave the union to accept the management posts.
Syria
From page 1A understand that were not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up when its necessary. Boehner spoke as lawmakers in both parties called for changes to the presidents requested legislation, insisting it be rewritten to restrict the type and duration of any military action. In the Senate, the compromise was the work of Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., among others. They are the chairman and senior Republican, respectively, on the Foreign Relations Committee, which held a lengthy hearing during the day on Obamas request for congressional legislation in support of the military reprisal he wants. The measure would set a time limit of 60 days and says the president could extend that for 30 days more unless Congress has a vote of disapproval. The measure also bars the use of U.S. ground troops for combat operations. Kerry, testifying before the committee, signaled earlier that the troop restriction was acceptable to the administration. Theres no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground, he said. President Obama is not asking America to go to war, Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added, This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter. Obama said earlier in the day he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed condence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assads action poses a serious national security threat to the United States and to the region. The administration says 1,429 died from the attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb. Casualty estimates by other groups are far lower, and Assads government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government in a civil war that began over two years ago. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected while in the country before completing a closely watched report. The president met top lawmakers at the White House before embarking on an overseas trip to Sweden and Russia, leaving the principal lobbying at home for the next few days to Vice President Joe Biden and other members of his administration. Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sat shoulder-to-shoulder at the Senate committee hearing while, a few hundred miles away, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged caution. He said any punitive action against Syria could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed, and he advised that such strikes would be legal only in self-defense under the U.N. Charter or if approved by the organizations Security Council. Russia and China have repeatedly used their veto power in the council to block action against Assad. In the Middle East, Israel and the U.S. conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean in a display of military might in the region. Obama set the fast-paced events in motion on Saturday, when he unexpectedly stepped back from ordering a military strike under his own authority and announced he would seek congressional approval. Recent presidents have all claimed the authority to undertake limited military action without congressional backing. Some have followed up with such action. Obama said he, too, believes he has that authority, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said during the day that even Congress refusal to authorize the president wouldnt negate the power of the commander in chief. Still, the president also has stated that the United States will be stronger if lawmakers grant their support. But neither Obama nor his aides has been willing to state what options would be left to him should Congress reject his call. As Obama has often noted, the country is weary of war after more than a decade of combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there is residual skepticism a decade after Bush administration claims went unproven that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Additionally, a spate of polls indicates the public opposes a military strike against Syria, by a margin of 59-36 percent if the United States acts unilaterally, according to a new Washington Post-ABC survey, and a narrower 46-51 if allies take part. Among major allies, only France has publicly offered to join the United States in a strike, although President Francois Hollande says he will await Congress decision. The British House of Commons rejected a military strike last week. Yet the presidents decision to seek congressional approval presents lawmakers with a challenge, as well. Even some of Obamas sternest critics in Congress expressed strong concerns about the repercussions of a failure to act. House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, R-Va., said after Tuesdays White House meeting that a failure to respond to the use of chemical weapons only increases the likelihood of future WMD (weapons of mass destruction) use by the regime, transfer to Hezbollah, or acquisition by al-Qaida. Americas largest pro-Israel organization, AIPAC, also announced its support for legislation to authorize a military strike. Apart from the meeting with Obama, the White House provided closed-door briengs for members of Congress.

PLYMOUTH TWP. The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution Tuesday to accelerate the payment of a PENNVEST (Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority) loan. The township will increase the monthly payment from $1,000 to $3,000 beginning in this month through April 2014. The remainder of the loan will be paid by May 14, 2014. The decision to accelerate the loan came after a review of the townships municipal budget showing that the mid-year Earned Income Tax revenues are above the projected levels, allowing for an increase in the monthly re-payment of the loan. In other matters, Supervisor Joseph Yudichak said the Tilbury Terrace
project that was scheduled to begin this week will be postponed until Sept. 9 because of Verizons delay in removing its wires at the work site. The road will be closed on Sept. 9. Yudichak also announced that the requests for the 30 homes in the next phase of the ood buyout have been completed and the remainder of the process is moving forward pretty fast. NEPA Alliances Alan Baranski said the township is in good nancial shape and the Earned Income Tax is continuing to come in at a robust level and ahead of revenue projection. East Popular Street will become a one-way Street for the month of October, at the request of the re department, for the seasonal reopening of Horror Hall. The next meeting will be on Oct. 7.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. Tony Stewart, upbeat and noticeably thinner, won his rst race since breaking his leg in a sprint car accident when he beat an employee around the ofce at Stewart-Haas Racing in his wheelchair. His injury? The three-time NA SCA R champion called it a small Stewart bump in the road and expects to be back in a race car in time for next years Daytona 500. How much extracurricular racing comes with his NASCAR schedule remains to be seen. On pace to run more than 100 races this year, Stewart admitted Tuesday that fatigue had set in around the NASCAR race at Indianapolis in late July. That was two weeks before the sprint car crash at Iowa, where he broke the bula and tibia in his right leg. At his rst public appearance since the accident, Stewart said he was planning to cut his schedule even before the injury, which has required two surgeries and left him homebound for almost a month. I am going to get back in a (sprint) car eventually. Theres no time frame on when Im going to get back in one, but Im denitely going to cut back the amount of races, just on scheduling purposes more than anything, he said. Using a wheelchair to navigate his way around the race shop Tuesday, Stewart said he planned to return to the track this weekend at Richmond and hinted hell use a motorized scooter because hes not yet ready to use the crutches he received last week. This is the rst signicant injury for the 42-yearold owner/driver of SHR since his move to NASCAR

No. 14 Notre Dame at No. 17 Michigan 8 p.m. Saturday, ABC Dame students how to play the game. The relationship turned sour after Notre Dame beat the Wolverines 11-3 in 1909, ending an eight-game losing streak. The game was canceled the next season when the Irish wouldnt play without two players Michigan contended were ineligible. The Wolverines canceled the series, but things worsened when Michigan coach Fielding Yost left Notre Dames Knute Rockne off his All-American team in 1913. It escalated when Yost and Rockne had a dispute at a track meet in 1923, and then Yost urged Big Ten teams not to play Notre Dame and several other independents because he said they didnt follow the Big Tens strict eligibility rules. After Rockne died and Yost retired, the two schools agreed to play each other in 1942-43. The Wolverines won the rst game 32-20, as the Irish gave up their most points in 37 years. The next season, topranked Notre Dame beat No. 2 Michigan 35-12. Michigan coach Fritz Crisler called the Irish a dirty team after the game and vowed never to play Notre Dame game again. The series nally resumed in 1978 and theyve played most years since. But Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick handed Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon a letter on the eld before

last seasons game, canceling scheduled games in 2015-2017. In May, Michigan coach Brady Hoke told a luncheon crowd in Grand Rapids in May that Notre Dame was chickening out of the series. Kelly said he hasnt spoken to Hoke about the series since Notre Dame announced it was ending it, but said he doesnt believe Hoke meant any disrespect. Hes never been one to show disrespect to anybody or anything. Its really, for me, about two programs that share a border, that it makes sense to play. I get that, he said. Its just theres so many complexities with our schedule and our agreement with the ACC that its difcult and frustrating. I can see the frustration that would be there. The Michigan series isnt the only one in jeopardy. With Pitt now in the ACC, the Irish arent expecting to play the Panthers each season. Notre Dame hasnt announced whether it will continue to play Michigan State and Purdue. The Irish schedule is expected to include ve ACC teams a year, Navy, USC and Stanford (giving it four home games and four road games), as well as an opponent it will face at a neutral site. Since the Irish play only ve road games each season, that only leaves one spot a season for a school looking for a return visit from the Irish. Kelly said playing a tough schedule is important, noting that the Irish replace Michigan with Texas in 2015-16 and 2019-20. He said strength of schedule is important head-

rankings, but no doubt sent a message that its prepared to compete with Clemson in the ACC, if not for a national championship. In a dazzling debut, Winston led Florida State to a 41-13 victory at Pitt on Monday night, going 25 of 27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns, and running for a score. The Seminoles schedule also sets up nicely for a battle of unbeatens on Oct. 19. GOING DOWN: Life is not always fair. Georgia played the toughest opening game of any of the highly ranked teams, traveling to Death Valley. The Bulldogs lost by three and dropped six spots in the rankings to No. 11. They were the only team in the top 18 to lose. Impressive victories by No. 6 South Carolina, No. 8 Louisville and No. 9 LSU helped push Georgia back. Bulldogs fans are probably not happy, but no need to fret. If Georgia beats South Carolina on Saturday, the Bulldogs will likely make a big jump. IN AND OUT: No. 20 Washington moved into the rankings for the rst time this season with one of the most impressive performances of the weekend. The Huskies unveiled their new up-tempo
offense and whipped then-No. 19 Boise State 38-6. That sent the Broncos tumbling out of the poll. The Huskies have a week off before traveling to Illinois. No. 23 Baylor also moved into the rankings after an easy victory against Wofford.
If all goes according to plan, the possibility of one of those attention-grabbing FCS wins wont exist much longer in the Big Ten. The College Football Playoff is coming next season, and strength of schedule is part of the criteria the selection committee will use to determine the four teams. Playing FCS opponents wouldnt help the cause. Thats only part of the reason Commissioner Jim Delany is encouraging Big Ten schools to keep FCS schools off nonconference schedules. He said recently that games against FCS foes dont create enough excitement for players, fans and television networks. While FCS-FBS matchups usually result in lopsided games that serve as little more than scrimmages to the FBS teams, the chance for the upset offers some intrigue. It happened eight times last week, and fans in Big Ten country will long remember Appalachian States 34-32 victory at Michigan in 2007. Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said Tuesday its an opportunity of a lifetime for the FCS players. Andersen speaks from experience. When he was head coach at Southern Utah in 2003, his team went to Nevada and played the Wolf Pack to within 24-23. Those kids still talk about that, he said. Delany said in Madison, Wis., last month that conference members have made it a goal to keep FCS opponents off schedules. We dont have any penalties for those that dont, Delany said. Its not like a violation of our rules. But everybody agreed when every game is televised, every game matters and the fans matter. Interest in those games is less. Theyre from another division. They have 20 less scholarships. Its like a junior college team playing against a high school team or a high school team playing against a JV team. Taking FCS schools out of the pool of potential opponents will add to the challenge of scheduling. The Big Ten will go from eight to nine conference games beginning in 2016. That means each school will have four home conference games one year and ve the next. Athletic departments ideally need seven home games to make ends meet. To reach that threshold, FBS schools have turned to FCS programs. In return, the FCS school shows up to (usually) take a beating and goes home with a paycheck for hundreds of thousands of dollars. When FBS schools schedule non-conference games against each other, both parties typically desire a home-and-home series. Sometimes a lower-level FBS school will accept a twofor-one deal, and sometimes cash is involved. But if a Big Ten team wants to schedule a fellow FBS opponent with no obligation for a return date, its going to cost big bucks. For the (FBS) teams that are available, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said, its probably a good thing for them. It drives the market up a little bit. Every Big Ten team except Michigan and Penn State is playing an FCS opponent this season. Three of those games are this week: Missouri State at Iowa, Indiana State at Purdue and Tennessee Tech at Wisconsin. Big Ten teams are scheduled to play nine FCS opponents in 2014, including Michigans opener against, yes, Appalachian State.

Lehman
From page 1B Vikings in April and made the teams nal roster this week. As for the Nittany Lions future, an abundance of talent at tight end has been abruptly limited by injuries. Lehman is out for the season. Redshirt freshman Brent Wilkerson remains sidelined indenitely after undergoing back surgery over the summer. And starter Kyle Carter (arm) is considered day-to-day heading into Saturdays home opener against Eastern Michigan. We dont know about his participation (for Saturday), but we think hes doing better, OBrien said. That could mean more snaps for true freshman Adam Breneman, who made his college debut against the Orange after tearing an ACL himself last summer before his senior year of high school. Breneman could really be thrust into the spotlight if Carter is unable to play against the Eagles, possibly vaulting him into the starting spot at F-tight end opposite Jesse James. Another option for OBrien is fewer tight endheavy packages and more looks with three wideouts, increasing snaps for players like Eugene Lewis, Matt Zanellato and Alex Kenney. Or more action for fullback Pat Zerbe when the Lions need that extra blocker. Its not about limiting (the playbook), its about what personnel groups are we going to use now that we dont have Matt Lehman? OBrien said. When you lose a good player, its not good for anybody, but it is about the next man up. And that might be a receiver, a running back, another a guy that you move over from defense to do things for you. You have to think out of the box. I dont think its as much about limiting, its more about being able to think out of the box and put guys on the right spots.
Hulls injury not serious
Penn States other worry from the opener was the health of linebacker Mike Hull, who limped off the eld in the rst quarter and returned briey before watching the second half in street clothes. OBrien said Monday in an interview on the Big Ten Network that he expected Hull to be ready to face the Eagles. On Tuesday, Hull was listed as possible on the teams injury report and
OBrien called him dayto-day. The Lions survived for much of the Syracuse game without Hull thanks to the play of senior Stephen ObengAgyapong. The safety/linebacker hybrid will continue to practice with both units this week and would likely start in Hulls place if needed on Saturday. According to OBrien, Obeng-Agyapong practiced with the linebackers on Monday, was scheduled to work with the safeties on Tuesday and, yes, he might even do some drills on offense, at fullback or F-tight end, this week. Im being serious, OBrien said. We have a lot of guys like that. Hes a multi-purpose guy, and he understands that and he will ll those roles admirably.
Garry Gilliam started the opener at right tackle and split time there with fellow senior Adam Gress. The teams depth chart this week initially listed Gilliam as the only rst-teamer at the position, but OBrien said that wasnt the case. Well battle that out every week and they will both play a lot of football, OBrien said. Likewise, the team is still listing Malcolm Willis and Ryan Keiser as co-starters at safety. The only position where that has changed from the preseason is at quarterback, where Christian Hackenberg is listed ahead of Tyler Ferguson. Christian is the starter and Tyler needs to be ready to play, OBrien said. But Christian is the starter.

WILL GRAVES
PITTSBURGH Isaac Redman could do the math. Nearing nal cuts on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers fth-year running back looked at the crowded depth chart and gured somebodys feelings were going to get hurt. I know that somebody had to go, Redman said. After being around here for a while, you understand how it goes, and I knew somebody had to go this year. And despite missing the nal two games of the preseason while recovering from a neck injury, it wasnt Redman. Instead, the Steelers cut Jonathan Dwyer the teams leading rusher in 2012 and handed Redman the starting job for the season opener against Tennessee on Sunday while second-round pick LeVeon Bell works his way back from a sprained right foot. We know what Isaac is capable of, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. Hes answered the bell for us in the past and we expect him to do it in a big way moving forward starting this weekend. When healthy, Redman can be a force. He ran for 410 yards and two scores last year and played well in a 26-23 loss to the Titans, catching four passes for 105 yards. Ankle problems, however, kept Redman from establishing himself as the starter. He rumbled for 147 yards a touchdown in a victory over the New York Giants the high water mark of an 8-8 season but went right back to the sidelines after getting knicked up again. Redman slimmed down to 230 pounds over the winter, believing more quickness would also make him more durable. That part
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin will have Isaac Redman start at running back for his team this week against the Tennessee Titans.

remains to be seen. Redman sustained a stinger during training camp and carried the ball two times during the entire preseason. Though Tomlin insists Redman will be spelled by newly acquired Felix Jones and third-down specialist LaRod Stephens-Howling, Redman thinks a steady dose of carries will help him get into a rhythm. The games that Ive been able to stay in the whole entire game, Ive done very well, he said. Its just, well, Im not going to make an excuse. But its hard to carry the ball twice, maybe two series, then Dwyer go in for two series. That wont be an issue anymore after the Steelers cut the only running back who managed to
stay out of the trainers room during August. Yet Dwyers weight uctuations and questionable conditioning apparently made him expendable. Tomlin declined to elaborate on the decision to release Dwyer, instead pointing to the drafting of Bell and the additions of Jones and StephensHowling. We like the guys that we kept and really our focus is on those guys, he said. Veteran tight end Heath Miller was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform List over the weekend but Tomlin wants to see how Millers body responds to the increased workload before making any sort of decision on Millers availability.
While Bell and Miller are questionable, rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones appears ready to make his NFL debut. Jones sat out last weeks preseason nale with a bruised chest but the rst-round pick will see plenty of time backing up Jason Worilds and LaMarr Woodley. Tomlin remains concerned about the special teams, a weakness during Pittsburghs winless exhibition season. Neither incumbent Drew Butler or three-time Pro Bowler Brian Moorman distinguished themselves and while Butler survived the nal cuts, the victory was short lived when the Steelers signed former New England Patriot punter Zoltan Mesko on Monday.
DAVIE, Fla. Former rst-round draft pick Danny Watkins says hes grateful for a fresh start with the Miami Dolphins after being cut by the Philadelphia Eagles. Watkins signed a $555,000, one-year contract with Miami and joined the team Tuesday. Its the most exciting time in my life again, he said after practice. Ive had a grin on my face since this morning. Its been great. Watkins, a guard, spent two seasons with the Eagles and started 18 games before losing his job early last year. He was a surprise choice with the 23rd overall selection at age 26 when the Eagles made him the oldest rst-round pick at that time since 1980. Watkins will provide
depth behind starting guards Richie Incognito and John Jerry. Miami waived second-year center Josh Samuda.
Cowboys, Colts make deal
IRVING, Texas The Dallas Cowboys have acquired defensive end Caesar Rayford from the Indianapolis Colts. In the deal announced Tuesday, the Cowboys sent an undisclosed draft pick to Indianapolis. The 27-year-old Rayford, a veteran of the Arena and Canadian leagues, signed with the Colts in May. He had ve sacks and 11 tackles in the preseason. Rayford was undrafted out of Washington. After six sacks in 31 games for the Huskies from 2005-07, Rayford played in the CFL for two seasons after that and then had 22 sacks in three AFL seasons.
Open
From page 1B a total of 13 games so far. For comparisons sake, know this: Suarez Navarro lost more games than that in her previous match alone, 15, while eliminating No. 8 Angelique Kerber. That victory, and her seeding, should have demonstrated that Suarez Navarro is quite capable of playing well, too. But not on this evening. Not against Williams, who is 65-4 with eight titles in 2013. Going back to the start of Wimbledon last year, the 31-year-old American is 96-5 with 13 trophies, including from three of the past ve Grand Slam tournaments plus the London Olympics. The conditions were so tough, so it denitely was not her best tennis today, Williams said about Suarez Navarro, who was playing in her third career major quarternal Tuesday, which happened to be her 25th birthday. Tough conditions, huh? That swirling wind in Arthur Ashe Stadium sure did not appear to bother Williams one bit. She wound up with a 20-3 edge in winners. She made fewer unforced errors, 12-9. She won 23 of 26 points on rst serves. Ive been playing here for, like, 50 years, Williams said with a laugh. Ive kind of gotten used to the conditions. Even though its difcult to play each year, Im getting a little bit better with it. When Williams did face a break point for the rst time, 42 minutes and 11 games into the match, she came up with a big serve and raced forward for a simple putaway that she punctuated with a yell. Moments later came a second break chance, but even with Williams stumbling to the court, Suarez Navarro dumped the ball into the net. It was that kind of night. Shes the best player in the sport, Suarez Navarro said. When you look at the draw, you dont want to see Serena there. In mens fourth-round action in the afternoon, top-seeded Novak Djokovic won 45 of 53 service points while eliminating 43rd-ranked Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 in a grand total of only 79 minutes. Djokovic, who won the 2011 U.S. Open and lost in last years nal to Andy Murray, reached his 18th consecutive major quarternal. Next up is a match against 21stseeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, who was two points from defeat but came back to edge twotime major champion Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 7-5. The other mens matches were at night, with Murray facing Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan, and No. 5 Tomas Berdych playing No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka. Earlier Tuesday, the fth-seeded Li needed nearly 2 hours to get past 24th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2. On three occasions, Li went up a break in the second set, nearing eventual victory each time, but could not nish things. She then was up 3-0 in the tiebreaker before faltering. Still, she recovered well and closed the match by taking the last four games, then joked that she would grab a bag of chips and enjoy watching Williams against Suarez Navarro. Regardless of who shed face next, Li made the point that what would be important is to focus on herself. I mean, if you only think about what (your) opponent (is) doing, of course you already lose the match before you come to the court, Li said. For tennis you have to gure out what you have to do on the court, what you should do. Li has only won one of nine career matches against Williams heading into Friday. Tough, tough opponent, Li said. But is (a) good challenge to play against her.
NEW YORK Denver All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is among 20 NFL players suspended for the beginning of the NFL season. Miller will be out for six games for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. He will miss Thursday nights opener between Super Bowl champion Baltimore and the Broncos. The league wanted a longer penalty for the third-year linebacker, but the sides agreed to less than half the season. It will cost Miller about $800,000.
I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself, Miller said when the agreement was reached last month. I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others. I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future. Two players are suspended for eight games: Ravens defensive back Asa Jackson and Cincinnati defensive end DeQuin Evans, under the performance-enhancing drugs policy. None of the 20 players has been suspended for violating
the personal conduct policy, although Jets running back Mike Goodson was arrested in New Jersey in May on drugs and weapons charges and will miss four games for substance abuse. His case was sent to a grand jury. Also suspended under the substance abuse policy for four games each were: Jacksonville receiver Justin Blackmon, Indianapolis receiver LaVon Brazill, New York Giants safety Will Hill, Washington linebacker Rob Jackson, Arizona linebacker Daryl Washington, and Baltimore safety Christian Thompson. Also barred for substance
abuse, but with lesser suspensions, were: Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton (three games), Cleveland receiver Josh Gordon (two), San Francisco tight end Demarcus Dobbs (one), Rams running back Isaiah Pead (one) and Chiefs offensive lineman Rokevious Watkins (one). Suspended four games for using performance enhancers were: Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin, St. Louis linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Oakland receiver Andre Holmes, Washington defensive lineman Jarvis Jenkins and Minnesota tackle DeMarcus Love.
NEKESA MUMBI MOODY NEW YORK After LeBron James won his second NBA championship this year, he talked about the improbability of his journey ascending to world fame despite growing up with challenge after challenge in the inner city. Now James plans to explore that theme as part of Survivors Remorse, a new show hes developing with Starz. While he wont star in the half-hour sitcom, hell be one of the executive producers of the show, which will explore the lives of two men from the streets who attain fame one is an NBA star and one is not and how they deal with friends and families in the wake of that success. I think the main thing for me is, rst of all, making it out of a place where youre not supposed to. Youre supposed to be a statistic and end up like the rest of the people in the inner city (and) being one of the few
to make it out and everyone looking at you to be the savior, the Miami Heat superstar said in a phone interview last week. When you make it out, everyone expects for they automatically think that they made it out and its very tough for a young, AfricanAmerican 18-year-old kid to now hold the responsibility of a whole city, of a whole community. I can relate to that as well, said James, who was 18 when he came to the NBA and is now a 28-year-old veteran. James is developing the show with his longtime friend and business partner, Maverick Carter; Tom Werner, the producer behind classic shows like Roseanne and The Cosby Show; and actor Mike OMalley, who will be an executive producer and is the shows writer. Paul Wachter will also be an executive producer. Its denitely not an autobiographical series about my life or LeBrons life; its ctional characters living in a
ctional world, said Carter, before adding with a laugh: LeBron is actually too famous, he would screw the show up if I tried to make a show about him. The show is based in North Philadelphia instead of Akron, Ohio, where the two are from: More people can relate to it, explained Carter of Philadelphia. Still, Werner said the inspiration for the series started in part with conversations he had with Carter, and later James, about their lives. I think the juxtaposition of great wealth and then you go back to your home in Akron and the neighborhood that you come from the chasm is a fairly big one, and I think its some very interesting story material, he said. Werner, James and Carter have worked together since 2011. They are part of Fenway Sports Group, and Werner is the chairman of the organization, which combines sports, media and entertainment.
Back in July, LeBron James won the award for best male athlete at the ESPY Awards at Nokia Theater, in Los Angeles. James is joining forces with Starz and the man behind classic shows like The Cosby Show to create a sitcom that will touch on something he knows a lot about Survivors Remorse.

Stewart
From page 1B in 1999. His streak of 521 consecutive starts came to an end with the injury. Stewart is accustomed to racing as many as six days a week, not to mention keeping busy with his business ventures as co-owner of the NASCAR team, owner of his sprint car teams and owner of multiple race tracks. Stewart joked that his days since the accident have been a lazy loop of watching Oprah while he recovers at the North Carolina home of longtime business manager Eddie Jarvis. The reality is that hes been entertained by a steady stream of visitors he had nine consecutive hours of guests the Thursday before the Aug. 24 race at Bristol. He cited Clint Bowyer as one of his favorite visitors, and mentioned a text message from Formula 1 driver Mark Webber. The outreach from people from IndyCar racing, sports car racing, NASCAR racing, the sprint car community and the visitors that we had thats been a huge, huge asset, and keeping me motivated and my spirits up, Stewart said. Im kind of surprised myself to be honest Im surprised Ive been this upbeat about it, and I dont know why. But I guess I just look at it as its just a bump in the road. To go 35 years and run all the hundreds of races and thousands of races weve run, and to nally have an injury, its like, this hasnt been a bad run of going out getting hurt. Im one of those believers that everything happens for a reason, and I feel lucky that I guess if its going to happen that the timing of it happened in a scenario where Im not going to miss next year, Im not going to miss a race. Got a lot of great friends and a lot of great friends that are drivers that I compete with each week that have been there to keep me pumped up. Hes also kept busy with SHR co-owner Gene Haas urgent desire to expand the organization to four teams to accommodate Kurt Busch. Haas presented Stewart with his plan the day after Stewart was released from the hospital. Stewart was reluctant because he felt it was too short of a timetable to add a fourth driver for 2014. Unbeknownst to him, Haas had already offered Busch a contract on a deal that was rapidly coming together while Stewart was virtually incapacitated.

ATLANTA Kris Medlen pitched seven strong innings while Andrelton Simmons and Evan Gattis homered to help the Atlanta Braves win their second straight game with a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. The Braves have won 20 of 24 at Turner Field to improve the major leagues best home record to 51-19. Gattis, who was recalled earlier in the day after a three-game stint at Triple-A Gwinnett, tied it at 1-all off with his 16th homer in the seventh. After Mets starter Carlos Torres (3-3) walked Dan Uggla on nine pitches, Simmons hit his 13th homer to make it 3-1. Medlen (12-12) allowed seven hits and one run while striking out nine. Closer Craig Kimbrel converted his 34th straight save opportunity and improved to 44 for 47 this season. He struck out Juan Lagares and Matt den Dekker, allowed a single to Omar Quintanilla and retired pinch-hitter Justin Turner on a groundout. New York has dropped three straight and nine of 13. Torres gave up seven hits, three runs and one walk. Torres tied career highs with six strikeouts and seven innings pitched. The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the sixth on Daniel Murphys RBI double with one out, but Medlen limited the damage on Josh Satins groundout and Lucas Dudas strike-
out. In the seventh, New York manager Terry Collins let Torres bat with runners at rst and third, but the pitcher struck out. Torres lost the lead in the bottom half of the inning, unable to nish off Gattis and Uggla when both hitters fell behind with 0-2 counts. Medlen erased the rst two runners in scoring position Eric Young Jr. in the rst and Duda in the fourth. Young tripled over Gattis head in left eld in the sixth and scored on Murphys double. Medlen escaped further damage when Josh Satin grounded out and Duda took a called third strike. Duda doubled with two out in the fourth, getting stranded on dArnauds strikeout, but his average dropped to .169 in 59 atbats with runners in scoring position. Gattis, who went 3 for 3, spent the previous three days at Triple-A Gwinnett to get some at-bats. The NLs rookie of the month winner for April and May had slumped in August, but he seemed to correct his issues by going 6 for 13 in three games at Gwinnett. Atlanta has won 29 of its last 38 games and has rallied for 41 victories, best in the NL.
Reds 1, Cardinals 0
their second straight over St. Louis. Hamilton set a professional record by swiping 155 bases in the minors last year. He got an ovation when he made his big league debut as a pinch runner for Ryan Ludwick, who led off the seventh with a single against Seth Maness (5-2). After Maness threw to rst three times, Hamilton took off and beat catcher Yadier Molinas off-target throw. He scored easily on Fraziers hit and got congratulatory slaps in the dugout.
Nationals 9, Phillies 6
CINCINNATI Speedy Billy Hamilton got his rst major league steal Tuesday night and came around on Todd Fraziers double in the seventh inning, sending the Reds to the victory,
PHILADELPHIA Wilson Ramos hit a threerun homer and Corey Brown also went deep to back Gio Gonzalez, helping the Washington beat the Phillies. Still clinging to postseason hopes, the Nationals overcame a sloppy allaround effort that included three errors, four unearned runs and four wild pitches. They remained 7 games behind Cincinnati for the second wild-card spot. Gonzalez (9-6) gave up ve runs one earned and ve hits, striking out six in 5 2-3 innings. The lefty has two straight wins after going seven starts without one. Phillies rookie Ethan Martin (2-4) allowed ve runs and four hits in 4 2-3 innings. Cody Asche was 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs for Philadelphia. Rafael Soriano tossed a scoreless ninth for his 37th save in 43 chances.

NEW YORK Eduardo Nunezs two-run double capped a ve-run eighth inning that rallied the New York Yankees past the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Tuesday night for a crucial victory as they chase an AL playoff berth. Derek Jeter got the Yankees started on a vintage comeback, and pinch hitter Curtis Granderson tied the score with an RBI single. New York, which began the day 2 games out of a wild-card spot, won for the 12th time in 14 home games to improve to 16-7 in its last 23 overall. Alexei Ramirez hit a two-run triple and Alejandro De Aza homered to build a threerun lead for All-Star Chris Sale, but the last-place White Sox couldnt hold it. They dropped their fth straight to start a 10-game trip against AL East contenders. Sale was cruising along with a 4-1 lead until Jeter singled with one out in the eighth and Robinson Cano drove a 1-2 pitch off the lefteld fence for a double the third extra-base hit off the ace by a left-handed batter all season. That got the crowd back in it and took Sale out of the game. Alfonso Soriano
grounded an 0-2 delivery from Nate Jones (4-5) up the middle for a two-run single that cut it to 4-3. Alex Rodriguezs single put runners at the corners, and Granderson lined a tying single off left-hander Donnie Veal. Mark Reynolds struck out before Nunez roped a double off Matt Lindstrom into the left-eld corner, putting New York ahead 6-4 in a half-inning that lasted 32 minutes. Boone Logan (5-2) pitched a perfect eighth, and Mariano Rivera got three quick outs for his 40th save. Jeter nished with two hits, giving him 3,315 to pass Eddie Collins (3,313) for ninth on the career list. With the score tied at 1, De Aza hit a leadoff single in the fth and stole second before Gordon Beckham drew an 11-pitch walk. One pitch after he was dusted by Hiroki Kurodas 93 mph fastball, Ramirez pulled a sharp grounder inside third base and past a diving Rodriguez. De Aza hit his 15th homer on a 1-2 pitch in the seventh, chasing Kuroda.

BOSTON Jon Lester outdueled Max Scherzer and Boston beat Detroit ending the Tigers right-handers chance to become just the sec-
ond pitcher to open a season with a 20-1 record. Lester (13-8) lowered his ERA to 1.71 in his past six starts. He allowed one earned run and eight hits with a season-high nine strikeouts and no walks. Scherzer (19-2), who won his rst 13 decisions, lost for the rst time since July 13 when the Texas Rangers beat him 7-1. Boston scored on Will Middlebrooks two-run single in the fth after Detroits Jose Iglesias doubled in a run in the second in the matchup of division leaders.
Indians 4, Orioles 3
innings while Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera drove in two runs apiece, and the Indians survived a shaky ninth inning for the victory. Jimenez (10-9) has allowed three earned runs or less in eight consecutive starts. The right-hander held Baltimore to four hits and worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. Gomes two-run double was the key hit in Clevelands sixth. Cabrera had sacrices ies in the fourth and sixth. Orioles starter Chris Tillman (15-5) allowed four runs in 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander has one win in his last six starts.
Jayson Werths bat ashed through the zone, sending a Cole Hamels fastball sailing at a 45-degree angle toward centereld. It was an early test, and Cesar Hernandez passed, gloving the line drive in stride for the nal out of the rst inning. The Phillies newest centerelder is a 23-year-old switch-hitter who has played exactly 23 games at the position since joining the organization in 2007. Last night, he made his rst major league start there, leading off against Nationals righthander Stephen Strasburg to begin one of the more intriguing tryouts on a team that has turned its focus toward 2014. Hernandez, who has spent the past couple of months learning the position at Triple A Lehigh Valley, might have more to gain from this last month of the season than any other player on the roster. The Phillies are hoping he can ll a bench role on next years team similar to the one that Kevin Frandsen has occupied this season, except with more defensive versatility and greater promise at the plate. Because Hernandez is out of options, he must be exposed to waivers next year before he is sent down to the minors. With a .309/.375/.402 batting line at Lehigh Valley this season and a .304/.345/.436 line at Double A in 2012,
the native of Venezuela has a much better track record as a hitter than utility man Freddy Galvis, who hit just .245/.274/.357 in 262 plate appearances after the Phillies sent him to Triple A in June. Hernandez spent 2 weeks with the major league club in May and June, going 7-for-28 with one double, four strikeouts and no walks as a second baseman and pinch-hitter. But with Chase Utley signed to a 2-year contract extension, there is no obvious opening for Hernandez in the ineld. He played some shortstop early in his minor league career and manager Ryne Sandberg raised the possibility of eventually trying him at third base, but centereld and second base are his two most obvious paths to playing time. While the Phillies have given no indication that they are dissatised with the production they got from Ben Revere before he broke a foot in July, he certainly could be pushed with a strong performance by Hernandez, who has more power and the ability to hit from the right side. Revere hit .305/.338/.352 with 22 steals in 30 attempts this season but has not hit a home run in 1,304 major league at-bats and owns a career .330 slugging percentage. The sense is that the Phillies are hoping Hernandez can back up Revere in center and Utley at second, getting a start or two per week while staying sharp for pinch-hitting duty.

IN BRIEF
Spending on U.S. construction projects rose in July, led by strong gains in housing and nonresidential projects. Construction spending increased 0.6 percent in July compared with June when activity was unchanged, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. The June performance represented an upward revision from an initial estimate that spending had fallen 0.6 percent. Total construction activity rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $900.8 billion in July, the strongest performance since June 2009. The July gain reected a 0.6 percent rise in housing construction with both single-family and apartment construction posting gains. In June, housing had fallen 0.9 percent.
But some analysts questioned whether buying up the mobile business of Nokia, the fading star of the cellphone world, would aid Microsoft. Until there are signs that (Microsoft) can innovate and successfully execute in the post-PC era, we expect the stock to languish at current levels, said Janney analysts Yun
Kim and Alice Hur. We do not believe the planned acquisition of (Nokias) mobile business changes (Microsofts) strategic positioning in the smartphone market. Microsofts shares fell $1.64, or 4.9 percent, to $31.76 in afternoon trading in the U.S. on Tuesday. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., has been racing to catch up with customers who are increasingly pursuing their digital lives on smartphones and tablet computers rather than traditional PCs. The shift is weakening Microsoft, which has dominated the PC software market for the past 30 years, and empowering Apple Inc., the maker of the trend-setting iPhone and iPad, and Google Inc., which
gives away the worlds most popular mobile operating system, Android. Microsoft is now betting it will have a better chance of narrowing the gap with its rivals if it seizes complete control over how mobile devices work with its Windows software. Its a bold step into the future a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies, Microsoft CEO Steven Ballmer told reporters at Nokias headquarters in Finland Tuesday. Its a signature event. But speaking to investors and analysts later Tuesday, Ballmer admitted that the company still has to play catch-up with the likes of Apple and Android. We know we need to accel-
erate. Were not confused about that, he said. We need to be a company that provides a family of devices. Nokia, based in Espoo, near the Finnish capital, and Microsoft have been trying to make inroads in the smartphone market as part of a partnership forged in 2011. Under the alliance, Nokias Lumia smartphones have run on Microsofts Windows software, but those devices havent managed to compete with iPhone or the array of Androidpowered devices spearheaded by Samsung Electronics smartphones and tablets Investors in Nokia welcomed the deal, sending shares in the company up 34 percent to 3.97 euros in Helsinki.
DETROIT As cars become more like PCs on wheels, whats to stop a hacker from taking over yours? In recent demonstrations, hackers have shown they can slam a cars brakes at freeway speeds, jerk the steering wheel and even shut down the engine all from their laptop computers. The hackers are publicizing their work to reveal vulnerabilities present in a growing number of car computers. All cars and trucks contain anywhere from 20 to 70 computers. They control everything from the brakes to acceleration to the windows, and are connected to an internal network. A few hackers have recently managed to nd their way into these intricate networks. In one case, a pair of hackers manipulated two cars by plugging a laptop into a port beneath the dashboard where mechanics connect their computers to search for problems. Scarier yet, another group took control
of a cars computers through cellphone and Bluetooth connections, the compact disc player and even the tire pressure monitoring system. To be sure, the hackers involved were well-intentioned computer security experts, and it took both groups months to break into the computers. And there have been no real-world cases of a hacker remotely taking over a car. But experts say high-tech hijackings will get easier as automakers give them full Internet access and add computer-controlled safety devices that take over driving duties, such as braking or steering, in emergencies. Another possibility: A tech-savvy thief could unlock the doors and drive off with your vehicle. The more technology they add to the vehicle, the more opportunities there are for that to be abused for nefarious purposes, says Rich Mogull, CEO of Phoenix-based Securosis, a security research rm. Anything with a computer chip in it is vulnerable, history keeps showing us. In the last 25 years, automak-

ers have gradually computerized functions such as steering, braking, accelerating and shifting. Electronic gas pedal position sensors, for instance, are more reliable than the old throttle cables. Electronic parts also reduce weight and help cars use less gasoline. The networks of little computers inside todays cars are fertile ground for hackers. Charlie Miller, a St. Louisbased security engineer for
Twitter, and fellow hacker Chris Valasek, director of intelligence at a Pittsburgh computer security consulting rm, maneuvered their way into the computer systems of a 2010 Toyota Prius and 2010 Ford Escape through a port used by mechanics. We could control steering, braking, acceleration to a certain extent, seat belts, lights, horn, speedometer, gas gauge, said Valasek. The two used a federal grant to expose the vulnerabil-
ity of car computers. Even with their expertise, it took them nine months to get in. Ford wouldnt comment other than a statement saying it takes security seriously, and that Miller and Valasek needed physical access to the cars to hack in. Toyota said it has added security and continually tests it to stay ahead of hackers. The company said its computers are programmed to recognize rogue commands and reject them.

Apple Inc. on Tuesday invited media members to a Sept. 10 event thats expected to include the launch of two new models of the iPhone, the companys iconic smartphone. The media invitation included several differently colored bubbles behind an Apple logo and a single tagline: This should brighten everyones day.
Apple is expected to announce a lowerpriced iPhone model at the event, rumored to be called the iPhone 5C, that will be housed in a plastic case offered in a variety of colors. The production of such a device was conrmed by a human-rights group that secretly inltrated a Chinese factory working on the assembly and reported on labor-rights violations in July. Many analysts say Apple must offer a cheaper version of its iconic iPhone to stake out a position in the midrange of
the smartphone market, as sales of its higher-priced agship model continue to slow and rivals introduce their own lower-priced gadgets. In the past, Apple has chased that value-seeking consumer by selling its older-model phones for $100 or $200 less than the latest and more expensive model, but it seems to be switching gears: Last week, the tech giant conrmed a new trade-in program that will allow users to surrender older models of the iPhone for discounts on newer models at
10-YR T-NOTE 2.86%
the companys retail stores. Apple is also expected to introduce a new higher-end model, which many predict will be dubbed the iPhone 5S and will upgrade several components from its predecessor. Among the rumors is the possible inclusion of a ngerprint sensor: Apple last year purchased a company, AuthenTec, that specializes in ngerprint sensors, and multiple reports have pointed to the Home button on the iPhone 5S doubling as the biometric sensor.

Franco Torquato prepared these seared scallops with braised collards, pureed parsnips and a citrusy carrot sauce at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre, where he is chef dcuisine.
Getting teens to eat breakfast on school days will always be a challenge. It comes with the territory. Always has. Teens are more independent. Theyre busy juggling schoolwork and social lives. Who has time to bother with breakfast? Sarah Berghoff McClure, for one. The 16-year-old from Chicagos northern suburbs makes sure she eats a good breakfast; otherwise, by second period, youll be starving. That means she cant do what she sees some teens do. Some have a cup of coffee, bring it to school, drink that and call it their breakfast, she says. You have to eat breakfast even if its just one egg and an apple on the go. Breakfast depends on what we have in the house. But if we have waffles, I will cook those. Pancakes sometimes, if my mom is in a really good mood, says Sarah, who follows a glutenfree diet. What I do on my own is make eggs because eggs are quick, healthy and protein. Generally thats not enough to fill me up so I have these protein shakes I make. Or shell scour the refrigerator. Ill be, like, OK, I have some bread. Ill toast the bread, Ill make an egg, Ill put it on the bread. If I have some bean salad, Ill put like one spoon of the bean salad on it or guacamole or salsa. Its kind of like making a burrito. Its a burrito on the go. Thats my favorite breakfast. While Sarah often cooks her own breakfast, its mom who makes sure the kitchens stocked. Mom is Carlyn Berghoff, mother of three teenagers (and CEO of the Berghoff Catering and Restaurant Group). Carlyn and Sarah co-authored Cooking for Your Gluten-Free Teen: Everyday Foods the Whole Family Will Love with Dr. Suzanne P. Nelson and Nancy Ross Ryan. Just as with many teens, Sarahs breakfasts arent always consumed at the table, especially when the soon-to-be-junior is running really, really late. I bring it upstairs with me, she says, and eat while I put my makeup on. Making breakfast portable helps. So beyond a fried-egg sandwich eaten on the run, consider molletes (moe-YEH-taze), open-face sandwiches popular with students in Mexico. Or a fruit bread, such as a gluten-free version, spread with a nut butter or eaten with a fruit-and-yogurt smoothie. Feeding the on-the-go teen Registered dietitians Jill Castle and Maryann Jacobsen, authors of Fearless Feeding: How to Raise Healthy Eaters from High Chair to High School (Jossey-Bass, $16.95), offer recipes and guidelines for nourishing teens. Among them: Breakfast for a teen should include meat (or a nonmeat protein source), fat, fruit, grain and dairy (or nondairy alternative). It could be as simple as peanut butter on whole-grain toast with a banana and skim milk. The accelerated growth of teens means they may consume more food and bigger portions. Rather than worry about extra hunger, be prepared for it with quality food on hand and regular meals that satisfy your teen. Ten power foods for teens: Seeds, nuts, instant ready-toeat fortified cereals, 100 per-

A portable breakfast fits in with the busy lifestyle of many teens who are on the run out the door to school, practices or other activities.

Molletes, open-face bean sandwiches often served with refried beans, avocado slices and a favorite salsa, are a Mexican favorite.

cent orange juice, beans, low-fat cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, dark green leafy vegetables, orange-colored fruits and vegetables (mango, carrots, etc.). Rather than fight against the foods teens love, find ways to modify them so that they remain tasty and pack more nutrients, for example, by subbing low-fat
cheese for full-fat versions on pizza. BANANA BREAD SQUARES Prep: 20 minutes Bake: 30-35 minutes Makes: 9 bars Adapted from Cooking for Your Gluten-Free Teen (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $19.99). If you cant find gluten-
free flour with xanthan gum, the authors suggest adding 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to each cup of gluten-free flour. Xanthan gum adds volume and moisture to gluten-free baked goods. It can be found at large supermarkets. 1/2 cup unsalted butter 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 1/3 cups smoothly mashed very ripe banana, about 3 bananas 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/3 cups gluten-free flour with xanthan gum or 1 1/3 cups gluten-free flour mixed with 1 1/4 teaspoons xanthan gum 2 teaspoons dried egg whites 1 teaspoon each: cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice Heat oven to 350 degrees.

When I worked at the Four Seasons Resort in West Palm Beach, Fla., the chef would prepare fresh-caught seafood every day. It was always delicious, and scallops were a particular favorite. Now that Ive returned to Northeastern Pennsylvania, I enjoy cooking scallops at the Westmoreland Club, where they are one of the most popular seafood dishes. As we move into late summer and early autumn, this is a great time of year to enjoy some heartier foods and make use of all the early root vegetables, such as carrots and parsnips, that local farmers are growing. For this recipe I sear scallops and serve them on top of a parsnip Chef Franco Torquato puree and a bed of braised collards with the sweet carrot citrus gastrique on the side. Its light and sweet and looks just beautiful. SWEET CARROT CITRUS GASTRIQUE 2 cups carrot juice 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 orange, zested Place sugar, water, vinegar and orange zest in small pot. Bring to boil and begin to reduce. After a few minutes, add carrot juice. Bring back to boil, reduce to simmer and reduce until thick. The process takes about 15 to 25 minutes, and the liquid should have the consistency of syrup. PARSNIP PUREE 5 parsnips, peeled and rough-chopped 1 cup heavy cream 1 shallot, rough-chopped 2 sprigs fresh thyme salt and pepper 1/2 gallon water Place all items in pot except salt and pepper. Bring to boil and cook until very soft. Remove thyme stems from pot. Remove parsnips and shallots from cream mixture with a slotted spoon and put in blender; reserve liquid. Add a bit of liquid and begin to puree. Blend until smooth. If too thick, add more cream liquid. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remember, you can always add more liquid. Its harder too remove liquid when you have too much. BRAISED COLLARDS WITH GINGER AND CHILI 2 pounds collard greens, stemmed, with leaves cut cross-wise into 2-inch strips 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon ginger, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried chili akes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil salt 2/3 vegetable or chicken stock Blanch greens for 30 seconds in boiling water and shock immediately in an ice bath. When cool, remove from ice and squeeze as much water as possible from the greens. In a saute pan, heat vegetable oil. When hot, add ginger and chili akes, taking care not to burn. When they become fragrant, add stock, let boil and reduce heat to simmer. Add soy sauce and cook for about 3 minutes until almost all liquid is gone and greens are very hot. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. SEARED SCALLOPS 12 large scallops 3 tablespoons oil salt and pepper Heat pan, preferably a non-stick. Add oil when hot. Salt and pepper the scallops and place tip down in pan. Reduce heat to medium high. When nicely browned, ip and remove from heat (about 3 minutes). They will nish cooking in the hot pan.

Looking for something new for dinner? Consider the foods of a country you may not normally eat. Indian food is filled with lean meats and seafood, vegetables and aromatic spices that offer a break from the ordinary. A new book by Raghavan Iyer, Indian Cooking Unfolded, is an easy guide for learning the basics of Indian cooking, with detailed instructions and simple recipes, many of which include 10 ingredients or fewer. Try out this recipe for simple chicken kebabs that include a creamy marinade flavored with garlic, ginger and Indian spices. CREAMY CHICKEN KEBABS cup half-and-half 6 medium-size cloves of garlic 4 pieces fresh ginger (each about the size and thickness of a quarter; no need to peel the skin) 1 tsp. coarse kosher or sea salt 1 tsp. garam masala spice mix tsp. cayenne pepper 1 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut at a diagonal into -inch wide strips Nonfat cooking spray 1 small red onion, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems 1 large lime, cut into 8 wedges Pour the half-and-half into a blender and add the garlic and ginger.

until smooth. Scrape into a mediumsize bowl and whisk in the salt, garam masala and cayenne. Add the strips of chicken. Stir to mix well and refriger-
ate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight. The longer you marinate the chicken, the deeper its flavors will be.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill, or the broiler to high. While the grill or broiler heats, thread the chicken strips onto bamboo or metal skewers, weaving them on by going over and under the strip with the skewer. Reserve any remaining marinade. Leave about -inch of space between each piece of chicken on the metal skewers to allow them to cook evenly. If you are grilling the kebabs, lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Arrange the kebabs on the grill rack and baste the meat with the reserved marinade. Cover the grill, and grill the chicken, turning the skewers occasionally until the chicken pieces are light brown, 6 to 8 minutes. To test for doneness, slice into a piece with a paring knife; the meat should no longer be pink and the juices should run clear. If you are broiling the kebabs, position a rack in the broiler so that the top of the chicken will be 2 to 3 inches from the heat. Lightly spray the rack of a broiler pan with cooking spray, place the skewers on the rack, and broil the chicken, turning the skewers occasionally and basting the meat with the reserved marinade, until the chicken pieces are light brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. Slide the chicken off the skewers onto a serving plate. Quickly toss the onion and cilantro together in a small bowl. Spread the onion mixture over the kebabs and serve the wedges of lime alongside. Makes 4 servings.

PUZZLES
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE father) when she wants something, and I have received a few texts, which I ignore. Am I doing the right thing? I sometimes feel guilty, but it angers me that she didnt stand behind her daughter and has made no effort to see either of her girls over the past two years. I see them often because their dad knows I stand with the girls 100 percent. Grandma in Ohio
Dear Grandma: The answer to your question depends upon why your daughter hasnt seen her children in
two years. If its because their father wont allow it, then her estrangement from her daughters isnt her fault. If it has been her choice, however, then stop feeling guilty. Dear Abby: I need your opinion about my ex-husband and his lack of respect for boundaries. He moved out of our home two years ago, but never changed his mailing address. We have been officially divorced for six months. He feels its OK to come to our married house anytime he wants. We have two teenage children who refuse to spend the night with him. When he comes to my house, he goes through the mail, opens the cabinets and refrigerators, even goes into my room when Im not home
and watches TV. I am dating someone new and dont feel comfortable with this setup. Im worried it will cause problems with my new friend, and I dont know how to stop this madness. We currently have the married house on the market, and I want to make sure he knows he wont be welcome in my new home if not invited. How do I avoid conflict with him and my kids? Really Divorced in St. Louis Dear Really Divorced: You should have set clear boundaries the day your divorce became official, but its still not too late to do so. Tell your ex to notify the post office and his creditors of his change of address, and that if his mail continues
to show up at your house, after a month it will be returned to the post office with the notation not at this address. You should also inform him and your children that you do not want him in your house in your absence. If he doesnt respect your wishes, then change the locks. The time he spends with your teenage children should also be elsewhere. He may not like the fact that you are establishing your independence, but you have a right to your privacy.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUOTE
HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have an advantage, but you wont press it. You dont like to see greed in others, and you despise it in yourself. Thats why youll wield just enough power to get what you want and no more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will try to tell you who you are because its a quirk of human nature to assume this kind of knowledge. But they dont really know. You are the hero of a story no one else has ever lived. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A series of small actions will add up to something remarkable, but thats not why you do what you do. You are simply responding to a voice inside that is urging you forward. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Kindness will be your top priority. Because your nearest and dearest have shown you both their best and their worst, its sometimes easiest to be nice to those you dont know well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Its easier to set boundaries and expectations when youre starting fresh with people than to try to change a current relationship dynamic. People will treat you the way you let them treat you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride is a function of placing a high value on what youve done and who you are. Vanity is putting effort into the way you want others to see you. Both will matter to the outcome of todays business. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Tomorrow is yours to win if you plan well enough. Your futurevision is clear today. Think about what could go wrong, and address each scenario. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Can a person protect his or her own innocence? Just knowing that theres something more to know puts a crack in the protective eggshell of the innocent. At least you can still protect another persons innocence, and so you will. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may not be able to decide whats best for you until after youve made a few mistakes. Thats just what it takes to get to know yourself. The better you know yourself the more often youll get it right the first time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some suggest that there are only two choices: to do it the way its been done, or to revolt. Youll find a third choice, and its the best one: Do it the way its been done, but with a twist. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nobody should live in a vacuum, nor should they live without a vacuum. Being aware of the whole picture will be just as important today as cleaning the small picture of your own home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people dont listen. So if you listen very well, youll find that you learn enough to stand out in a very positive way with the ones youve heard and understood. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4). Youll play a key role in someones happiness over the next six weeks. Your handling of confidential matters earns you trust and money. Youll apply your maturity and experience to win a prize in October. November and May bring your best financial opportunities. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 49, 38, 6 and 20.
