BY MARK LEWIS ASSOCIATED PRESS STAVANGER, Norway Residents of the small Norwegian town of Rjukan have finally seen the light. Tucked in between steep mountains, the town is normally shrouded in shadow for almost six months a year, with residents having to catch a cable car to the top of a nearby precipice to get a fix of midday vitamin D. But on Wednesday faint rays from the winter sun for the first time reached the town's market square, thanks to three 183-square-foot mirrors placed on a mountain.

TV footage of the event showed the center of the crowded square light up a "Not only do we stand FREE IN-HOME ESTIMATES 570-471-3262 www.WlndowWorld.com behind our we stand on them!" -Michael Hoffmeler, Local Owner TERJE BENDIKSBY ASSOCIATED PRESS Residents play after the official opening of giant sun mirrors in Rjukan, Norway. 9 JO fij lUuLw.

"I'm happy to hear Mr. Semenza decided to do the right thing." Although his sentencing date has not been set, Mr. Semenza faces less than a year in prison, according to state sentencing guidelines.

His conviction bars him from serving as a police officer, however. Attorney Gerard Karam, the borough's solicitor for Mr. Semenza's case, said he will now "monitor" civil lawsuits related to the case. The victim filed a civil lawsuit in November 2012 seeking damages for emotional harm, and the borough may be required to pay any damages she might obtain. The Times-Tribune does not identify victims of sexual assault.

"It's better off for the town the resignation came through," she said, adding that borough officials would consult with solicitors before proceeding. Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola, who called for the borough to fire Mr. Semenza once the jury's verdict was announced, said the borough can now "turn the page and move on."
