PLAINS TWP. The Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs Casino purchased more
wine and spirits in the 2012-13 scal year
than the next six largest liquor buyers in
Luzerne County combined. And three of
those buyers are tenants operating inside
of the casino.
As the casino has expanded over the
past few years rst with added slot
machines, then table games, then con-
certs and festivals the amount of wine
and liquor its purchased also has grown.
In 2010, the casino purchased $605,406
worth of wine and liquor from the states
liquor control board retail shops. A year
later that total jumped 76 percent to
$1.06 million. By 2012 the total stood at
$1.11 million.
By comparison, in scal year 2013, the
next largest retail establishment making
purchases was Ruths Chris, a steakhouse
operating inside the casino, which bought
$306,098 in liquor from July 2012 through
June 2013.
The Woodlands Inn and Resort, just
down state Route 315 from the casino,
Casino is countys biggest boozer
Mohegan Sun also ranks
5th statewide with
$1.11 M in liquor sales

Heather Browski of Hanover Township, a server at Mohegan
Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township, carries a tray of
drinks recently at the Pearl Sushi Bar just off the casino floor.
Motorists in the Back Mountain
should be aware that the Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon takes place this
morning and competitors will fol-
low a different route than in prior
years.
After organizers determined the
old Lower Demunds bike route was
getting congested, as more homes
are built on the other side of state
Route 309, they congured a new
25-mile route that might slowtrafc
for early-morning churchgoers and
Sunday drivers.
Triathlon Director Joanne Gensel
said the race starts at 7:30 a.m. and
the rst cyclist should be riding no
later than 8:15 a.m.
On the new course, cyclists will:
Depart from Harveys Lake
Beach Club heading west.
Turn left onto Noxen Road.
Turn right onto state Route 29.
Turn right onto Buckwheat
Hollow Road and continue around
the Harveys Lake eastern shore.
Turn left onto Idetown Road
to cross state Route 118 and ride
around the Huntsville Reservoir on
Old Route 115.
Turn right onto Follies Road
and right again on Jackson Road.
Turn left onto Old Route 115
to end at the Penn State Wilkes-
Barre tennis courts.
Trafc will be rerouted in only
one place. Travelers will have to
skirt around the busy Huntsville
Corners intersection by way of
Church Road.
Trafc at all intersections will be
directed by state constables, but
motorists should be careful when
traveling on any of these routes.
Gensel suggested that drivers
avoid taking Huntsville Road from
Route 309 between 8:30 to 11 a.m.
if possible.
CAIRO Egyptian
security forces stormed
a Cairo mosque Saturday
after a heavy exchange
of gunre with armed
men shooting down from
a minaret, rounding up
hundreds of supporters
of the countrys oust-
ed president who had
sought refuge there over-
night after violent clash-
es killed 173 people.
The raid on the al-
Fath mosque on Ramses
Square was prompted
by fears that deposed
President Mohammed
Morsis group, the
Muslim Brotherhood,
again planned to set up
a sit-in, security ofcials
said, similar to those
that were broken up
Wednesday in assaults
that killed hundreds of
people.
The arrest of the
brother of al-Qaida chief
Ayman al-Zawahri came
in connection to the raid
on the mosque. Ofcials
said that he planned to
bring in armed groups
to provide support to
those holed up inside the
mosque.
Mohammed al-Zawah-
ri, a Morsi ally, is the
leader of the ultracon-
servative Jihadi Sala
group that espouses al-
Qaidas hardline ideol-
ogy. He was detained at
a checkpoint in Giza, the
city across the Nile from
Cairo, the ofcial said.
The ofcial spoke on
condition of anonymity
as he wasnt authorized
to brief journalists about
the arrest.
The Egyptian gov-
ernment meanwhile
announced it had begun
deliberations on whether
to ban the Brotherhood,
a long-outlawed orga-
nization that swept to
power in the countrys
rst democratic elections
a year ago.
Such a ban which
authorities say is root-
ed in the groups use of
violence would be a
repeat to the decades-
long power struggle
between the state and
the Brotherhood.
For more than a month
since the July 3 military
overthrow of Morsi,
Brotherhood members
and supporters have
attacked and torched
scores of police stations
and churches, in retalia-
tion. Shops and houses

R.J. Mackers of Plains Township, left, takes aim
during the Pittston Tomato Festival tomato fghts
Saturday afternoon. Squished tomatoes were the
only ammunition used in battle royale involving the
fruit of the solanum lycopersicum. (Thats fancy talk
for tomato.) City workers used plows to clean up the
goopy remains immediately after thecarnage.
For the story, see Page 3A.
You say tomato, I say FOOD FIGHT!
Luzerne County of-
cials are considering
switching to a 37.5-hour
work week, however,
probation union head
Charles Majikes ques-
tions what gains the
county would accom-
plish.
The unions roughly
81 probation ofcers and
domestic relations sup-
port ofcers now work
35 hours.
Based on current pay
scales, the additional
half hour of work per day
would cost the county
$3,000 a year per employ-
ee, or a total of $243,000
annually, he said.
If council adopts the
new work-hour standard,
county Manager Robert
Lawton told council he
would reduce staff to
completely offset the
increased cost as part
of a movement toward
a higher-compensated,
leaner workforce.
But Majikes said
another round of lay-
offs will compromise his
union workers ability
to continue effectively
monitoring caseloads.
His unions employees
regularly work beyond
35 hours without seek-
ing additional compensa-
tion, he said.

WILKES-BARRE After
several years in another loca-
tion, summer graduation exer-
cises returned to Kings College
campus on Saturday. The newly
air-conditioned Scandlon Center
was the site of commence-
ment activities for 65 students
receiving bachelors or masters
degrees.
The majority of graduates
were receiving their Masters in
Physician Assistant Studies.
For Jillian Emerick, 23, of Bear
Creek, her physician assistants
degree represents five years of
hard work. She chose the program
because of her interest in a variety
of health fields.
I wanted to go into health care
but I wanted the option to go
into many different fields, said
Emerick. You cant do that if
youre an M.D.
She said her interest in health
care was natural. Moms a nurse,
and I grew up around medicine.
Emerick said that the Kings
program was rigorous. No social
life! You give up everything. But
she also said that it was worth it
in the end. Emerick already has
secured a job and will be working
in an area family practice.
For Walter Butch Barron, 52,
of Scranton the journey to his
bachelors degree in leadership
and global dynamics has been
long. Barron dropped out of high
school to support his family, he
said, and it wasnt until the birth
of his son in 1985 that he went
back and got his GED.
He began college studies at
Keystone College in 1996 and
finished with an associates degree
in business administration in
2000.
He decided to pursue a bach-
elors degree at Kings because of
his work with employee groups.
He realized that his interest
was in working with people. He
is now employed as a human
resources manager with Maui Cup
in Pittston.
His wife Donna is a big part of
his success, he said. She made
sure I had time and she showed
interest in my education. Shes a
cheerleader.
He advised those people who
might think the time has past for
completing an education: Follow
your dream. If you have the
ambition to do something, you can
complete anything.
Commencement speaker
Cornelio Catena, the CEO of
Commonwealth Health, direct-
ed his comments mainly to the
graduates in the health sciences.
He told them health care is in the
midst of a major shift. He told
the graduates that their services
would be needed as the U.S. popu-
lation continues to age.

Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader
More than 30 firefighters doused flames that all but consumed a vacant home Saturday at 2 Solomon St., Hanover Township. A
state police fire marshal is investigating the fire, which is considered suspicious because the house was vacant and condemned.

be leveled, he said. Buildings on both sides of the fire sustained damage. Donald Witkowski, who lives at 3 Solomon St., said he
was preparing lunch around 10 a.m. and lifted the kitchen curtain. Thats when I saw the fire shooting out of the porch roof, he
said. Witkowski was provided emergency housing by the American Red Cross.

PITTSTON Battle-
worn tomato tossers trudged
wearily away, dripping with
sauce, after defending their
honor in one of the Pittston
Tomato Festivals most wide-
ly recognized features, the
tomato ghts.
There wasnt a clean shirt
to be found in the Robert
E. Conroy Parking Lot on
Saturday. A few minutes
earlier, about 150 goggled
assailants armed themselves
with cases of rotten tomatoes
and rushed center court at
the sound of the horn for 15
unbroken minutes of sauce-
soggy chaos. Hundreds more
people surrounded the court
outside Coopers Seafood
House, snapping pictures
and dodging wayward toma-
toes.
Tomato ghters of all ages
had strutted around before
the ghts. Some wore shirts
with a parody of the popu-
lar British saying that read
Keep calm and throw toma-
toes.
Joe Frederick, 26, of
Wyoming adjusted his gog-
gles and set his head-mount-
ed camera ready to record
the melee. It was Fredericks
rst tomato ght. He wasnt
nervous but he shifted his
weight as he eyed the open
boxes lled with his vegeta-
ble arsenal.
It was Anne Marie Conroys
rst tomato ght, too. The
Pittston native, who turns
80 next week, wore a football
helmet over her goggles. Her
family gathered around their
fearless matriarch to take pic-
tures while her shirt was still
white. Family members said
they were astounded when
Conroy said she wanted be in
the tomato ght for her 80th
birthday.
The parking lot where the
battle ensued was named
after her late husband,
Robert Conroy, who sat on
the Tomato Festival com-
mittee for years. Committee
President Lori Nocito said he
was an integral part of coor-
dinating the festival until his
death in 2005.
Anne Marie Conroy set
a tomato on her husbands
tombstone Friday as she
does every year during the
Tomato Festival. The festival
was very important to him,
she said.
Crews from chef Allison
Fishman Tasks video blog
Blue Ribbon Hunters
looked for the best spot to set
up their cameras. The TV-for-
web program features festi-
vals and food events around
the country. The chef is put-
ting a show together about
the Tomato Festival for her
blog, one of the Yahoo! web-
sites video features.
All proceeds from the
tomato ghts $5-entry fee go
to Pittston charities.
Paul Cooper, owner of
Coopers Seafood House,
rounded up out-of-date toma-
toes from his restaurant
suppliers. The tomatoes,
acquired for free, would have
been thrown out if it werent
for the tomato ghts.
LUZERNE COUNTY
Mitchell out of
controller race
Bear Creek Village Mayor Walter
Mitchell announced Saturday he will
not pursue a slot on the Republican
ticket for the Luzerne County con-
troller post in the November elec-
tion.
Former Controller Walter Griffith
has withdrawn from the race and
leaves an open spot on the ballot.
Mitchell owns Mitchell Financial
Group, a consulting firm, and would
have to close it if he
were installed as con-
troller, according to
the Luzerne County
home rule charter.
Mitchell said he
could effectively run
his business while
monitoring the
countys books by using technology.
When the county council considers
a charter revision, I would urge its
members to re-examine this word-
age, Mitchell said in a statement.
Other qualified county watchdogs
are likely deterred from running for
this position because of this stipula-
tion, he said.
I am very grateful to the county
Republican Executive Committee
and many friends and associates who
have encouraged me to run. Perhaps
another time, Mitchell said.
The Republican executive com-
mittee is to choose this afternoon
between applicants Carolee Medico
Olenginski and Karen Ceppa-Hirko.

School supplies
are distributed as
children enjoy fun
and games
WILKES-BARRE The
Rev. Diane Roberts remembers
starting a new school year as a
child without adequate school
supplies and with a heavy spirit.
She is determined not to let
that happen to children in her
neighborhood. So, for the past
10 years, as director of Food for
the Souls Ministries, she has
attempted to improve the lives
of youngsters and to simply
make them smile.
I told God, When Im
grown, Im going to help chil-
dren to feel good and equip
them with what they need,
Roberts said.
As part of keeping her
promise, she helped to orga-
nize Saturdays Back-to-School
Block Party; the event was an
opportunity to both provide
school supplies to disadvan-
taged children and to make
Grove Street, between Dana
and Stanton Street, come alive.
Event organizers gave away
book bags overowing with
school supplies. Young par-
ticipants, meanwhile, enjoyed
activities such as jumping in
the bounce house, getting
their faces painting and eating
free food.
Brittany Tirado, 20, said she
has been working alongside
Roberts for the last ve years
doing anything that is need-
ed.
I will be leaving to train for
the military in a few days, said
Tirado, surrounded by her fam-
ily, and this is my last opportu-
nity to help out in my neighbor-
hood for a while.
Children seemed to absorb
the positive spirit as they
danced and took part in the
activities.
I got my face painted and it
made me feel happy and beauti-
ful, said Etani Adams, 8.
Aniyah Taylor, 7, said that the
bounce house was her absolute
favorite, but that she also liked
the food and the music.
Roberts credited Shawn
Walker, pastor of Wilkes-Barres
First Baptist Church, with shar-
ing her vision of the church
actively involved in bettering
the lives of those in the com-
munity.
We fully support Diane and
Food for the Souls Ministries
in this effort and other service
events throughout the year,
Walker said.
Tina Jones, a volunteer
selling homemade lollipops
Saturday and donating pro-
ceeds to the organization, also
seeks to feed both the body and
the soul. She is quick to point
out that the sweet treats include
a Bible verse, Acts 2:38, on the
sticks.
Roberts lauded members of
the community and area busi-
nesses for making the event
possible. Carmen and Co.,
Marquis Art and Frame, Tonys
Meat Market and the Pepsi
Cola Co. were among those that
donated products or funding.
One young man, hula-hoop in
hand, said, This is going to be
a great school year.
Roberts wholeheartedly
agreed.
Those people wishing to
assist Roberts in her efforts
throughout the year can contact
First Baptist Church, Wilkes-
Barre, at 822-7482.

PPL employees score a goal for charity
Workers at PPLs Susquehanna nuclear power
plant are used to generating a lot of heat.
But this weekend they are taking to the ice to
help raise money for charity.
A hockey team consisting of 16 employees from
the facility is participating for the rst time in the
Dave Burke Memorial Hockey Tournament.
Tim Rausch, the plants chief nuclear ofcer and
a forward on the hockey team, said plant employ-
ees are always interested in helping out with
charitable events and that participating in the
tournament is a great opportunity to play hockey
and give back to the community.
The tournament began Friday and will conclude
today with games at The Revolution Ice Center in
Pittston and The Coal Street Complex in Wilkes-
Barre.
The tournament was founded by the family
of Dave Burke, a PPL lineman in Scranton who
died of lymphatic cancer in 2008 at the age of 24.
Burke was a goalie in Wilkes Barre/Scranton adult
leagues who continued to play hockey even after
undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The tournaments proceeds go to charities such
as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the
Make-A-Wish Foundation along with helping to
purchase hockey equipment for children in need.
More than 20 teams at a variety of skill and age
levels participated.
Mimi Mylin, PPLs corporate information spe-
cialist, said that she noticed the event in an inter-
nal publication and thought that the teams par-
ticipation was great idea and that the cause was
deserving of some attention.
Its not the rst time plant employees have
chipped in for charity.
Rausch said that employees from the plant have
given $400,000 to local charities. He added that
the plant is currently involved in a program that
distributes hundreds of backpacks and school
supplies to disadvantaged children. The facilitys
United Way drive raised $2.3 million, Rausch said.
But the chance to play hockey and raise money
for charity had him eager to join the tournament.
Its not all fun and games, though. There is seri-
ous hockey being played, and some players travel
extensively just to be involved.
The top division of competition includes cer-
tain players who have seen ice time as members of
American Hockey League clubs.
It is fun, said Joe Hollender, who was play-
ing for Bethlehem Steels company team. I get the
chance to play hockey, and it is for a good cause.
Tim Clifford drove six hours from a town out-
side of Toronto to participate. He plans on coming
back each year the tournament is held, he said.

HAILEY, Idaho Fire
crews on Saturday faced
another challenging day bat-
tling a rapidly growing wild-
re burning closer to two
posh, central Idaho resort
communities, while other
blazes in the West charred
homes, dry grass and brush.
In northern Utah, several
manufactured homes were
destroyed when a wildre
raced through the commu-
nity of Willow Springs late
Friday, jumping a state high-
way and re lines, authori-
ties said.
As of early Saturday,
the Patch Springs Fire had
burned about 33,000 acres,
or more than 50 square
miles. It was estimated at 20
percent contained.
In Idaho, the Beaver Creek
Fire grew by 15 square
miles late Friday and early
Saturday, to 144 square
miles. Overnight, ames
moved closer to homes and
subdivisions in the moun-
tains west and north of the
communities of Hailey and
Ketchum, and the Sun Valley
Resort.
So far, authorities have
issued mandatory evacua-
tions for 1,600 residences in
this smoke-shrouded valley.
More homeowners, along
with the growing camp of
reghters and support
staff, could be asked to move
Saturday depending on re
activity, re ofcials said.
The blaze was started by
lightning Aug. 7. It expand-
ed signicantly Friday, burn-
ing through tinder-dry brush
and timber in the mountains
west of the towns. Efforts
Saturday were focused on
protecting homes and struc-
tures in the gulches and foot-
hills just west of Hailey and
Ketchum.
Crews also planned to tar-
get erratic, wind-driven re
growth in one area north of
Ketchum and two locations
west of Hailey.
For now, that battle is
taking place on the ground
because heavy smoke has
grounded air tankers capable
of dumping retardant and
water on the perimeters.
Fire managers and more
than 700 reghters are
bracing for another dose of
hot temperatures and after-
noon wind gusts up to 30
mph that could move ames
closer to homes. Hundreds
more reghters will be
arriving Saturday as other
res die down in Idaho and
some other western states.
This re is consuming
everything, re spokes-
woman Madonna Lengerich
said. The re is so hot its
just cremating even the big-
gest trees.
The tight valley that
bookends these communi-
ties and serve as vacation
getaways for celebrities like
Arnold Schwarzenegger and

Christians among
11 dead in attack
Gunmen shot dead 11 people, mostly
Christians, near a town in central Syria
on Saturday, state media and activists
said, an attack described by a local resi-
dent as aimed at members of the reli-
gious minority.
The resident, citing eyewitnesses, said
the gunmen randomly opened re on
roadside restaurants in a drive-by shoot-
ing outside Ein al-Ajouz as Christians
were celebrating a feast day. He spoke on
condition of anonymity for fear of repri-
sals.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights said that nine of those
killed were Christians. It said rebels seek-
ing to overthrowPresident Bashar Assad
attacked checkpoints manned by the pro-
government National Defense Forces
militia, killing ve of them. It said the
other six were civilians, including two
women.

ANAKTUVUK PASS, AlASKA
Rescuers reach
mauled hunter
Crews equipped with night-vision
goggles and ares staged a middle-of-
the-night rescue to reach a hunter more
than 36 hours after he was mauled by a
brown bear in northern Alaskas remote
Brooks Range, the Alaska Air National
Guard said.
The man was part of a group on a
guided hunting trip about 30 miles
north of Anaktuvuk Pass, a tiny
Nunamiut Eskimo village in the Gates of
the Arctic National Park. Initial rescue
efforts by local search teams and by the
Alaska State Troopers were turned back
because of dense fog.
The 11th Air Force Rescue
Coordination Center learned of the
mans plight Thursday, about 36 hours
after the attack, and offered to help, the
Guard said in a release. The man had
suffered severe blood loss and other inju-
ries, but a medical professional who hap-
pened to be in a nearby hunting party
reached him soon after the attack.

Navy
restricts
sales of
alcohol
NAVAL STATION
NORFOLK, Va. On the
worlds largest naval base, sail-
ors can pull into a gas station
and buy a bottle of liquor before
sunrise.
But as the Navy works to
curb alcohol abuse in a push
reduce sexual assaults and other
crimes, the days of picking up a
bottle of Kahlua along with a
cup of coffee are coming to an
end.
The Navys top admiral has
ordered a series of changes to
the way the Navy sells booze.
Chief among them, the Navy
will stop selling liquor at its
mini marts and prohibit the sale
of alcohol at any of its stores
from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Its not going to x every-
thing, but it is a real step
in the right direction, said
David Jernigan, Johns Hopkins
Universitys director of the
Center on Alcohol Marketing
and Youth. Historically, the
military, as elsewhere, has
viewed these problems as indi-
vidual problems to be dealt with
by identifying the individual
with the problem. While thats
important, the research shows
its much more effective actu-
ally to look at it as a population
problem and to deal with things
that are affecting everybody
across the population.
The changes are the latest
addition to a broader, long-
standing alcohol education and
awareness program that appears
to have had some success.
Throughout the Navy, the num-
ber of alcohol-related criminal
offenses dropped from 5,950 in
the 2007 scal year to 4,216 in
the 2012 scal year. The num-
ber of DUI offenses dropped
from 2,025 to 1,218 during that
same period, according to Navy
Personnel Command.
Liquor will still be sold on
U.S. bases at a discount of up
to 10 percent for what it can be
bought at in a civilian store, but
sales will be limited to dedicat-
ed package stores or exchanges
that sell a wide variety of items.
Jernigan said a growing pref-
erence among young people for
distilled spirits over beer and
wine means the Navys moves
could be particularly helpful.
But that said, alcohol is alco-
hol, so reducing the availability
of one kind is a step in the right
direction, but you can certainly
get just as impaired from drink-
ing beer and wine as you can
from distilled spirits, he said.
In the 2012 scal year, the
Navy reported $91.9 million in
distilled spirits sales, compared
with $39.3 million in wine and
$62.3 million in beer.
Move is an attempt to curb
alcohol abuse among
sailors, sexual assaults
and other crimes

At least 31 people are confrmed dead while dozens more remain missing
CEBU, Philippines Divers combed
through a sunken ferry Saturday in search
of dozens of people missing after a colli-
sion with a cargo vessel near the central
Philippine port of Cebu that sent passen-
gers jumping into the ocean and leaving
many others trapped. At least 31 were
conrmed dead and hundreds rescued.
The captain of the ferry MV Thomas
Aquinas ordered the ship abandoned
when it began listing and then sank just
minutes after collision late Friday with
the MV Sulpicio Express Siete, coast
guard deputy chief Rear Adm. Luis
Tuason said.
Transportation and Communications
Secretary Joseph Abaya announced of-
cial passenger gures following confu-
sion over the actual number of people on
the ferry.
He said the ferry carried 831 people
715 passengers and 116 crew fewer
than the numbers given earlier by the
coast guard and ferry owner, 2Go. He
said the death toll has risen to 31 with
629 rescued.
There were foreigners on board but
they are all OK, except for a New
Zealand citizen who was in a hospital,
Abaya said.
Cebu coast guard chief Cmdr. Weniel
Azcuna said 171 were listed as miss-
ing, but the gure would go down once
the number of crew members who have
been rescued are ofcially accounted.
Tuason said some of the missing
could still be trapped inside the vessel
that sank in waters about 100 feet deep
off Talisay city in Cebu province, 350
miles south of Manila.
Tuason said navy divers recovered
at least four bodies early Saturday.
Reporters at the site, about 1.25 miles
from shore, saw the bodies coated with
fuel and oil that spilled from the ferry.
In a statement, 2Go said the ferry
was reportedly hit by the cargo vessel
resulting in major damage that led to
its sinking. An investigation will begin
after the rescue operation, the coast
guard said.
Abaya said the cargo vessel smashed
into right side near the rear of the ferry
which was coming from Nasipit in
Agusan del Sur province in the south-
ern Philippines and making a short stop
in Cebu before proceeding to Manila.
I guess it hit the ferry at a very vul-
nerable point, probably at its water line
or below the water line so that it did not
take long for it to sink, he said.
One of the survivors, Jenalyn
Labanos, 31, said the ferry quickly tilt-
ed to its side after the impact and sank
about 20 minutes later.
She said the crash threw her and two
companions to the oor of a ship res-
taurant followed by the lights going out.
People panicked and the crew later
handed out life vests and used their
ashlights to guide us out of the ship
but they could not control the passen-
gers because the ship was already tilt-
ing, she said.
She said she suffered bruises on her
hands and feet as she grabbed a rope
on the side of the vessel before jumping
into the water.
I just thought to myself that I have to
survive this. I left everything, my bag,
my money and my passport, she said.
She was headed to Manila for a ight
to Dubai where she has been hired as
a maid.

Ga. man faces trial in killing of baby in stroller
BRUNSWICK, Ga. It
was a tiny bullet that took the
short life of Antonio Santiago.
He had learned to walk,
but not yet talk, when he was
killed March 21, six weeks
after his rst birthday. He
was strapped in his stroller,
out for a walk with his mother
a few blocks from their apart-
ment near the Georgia coast,
when someone shot the boy
between the eyes with a
.22-caliber bullet the size of a
garden pea.
The teenager charged as
the shooter is scheduled to
stand trial this week in a
courthouse far from the scene
of the crime. Because of public
outrage and news coverage,
a judge has moved 18-year-
old DeMarquise Elkins trial
325 miles away, to the sub-
urbs outside Atlanta. Jury
selection starts Monday at
the Cobb County courthouse
in Marietta. Superior Court
Judge Stephen Kelley has set
aside two weeks for the trial.
Elkins faces life in prison
if convicted of murder. His
youth spared him a possible
death sentence. At the time
of the shooting he was 17, too
young to face capital charges
in Georgia.
Police say the motive
was as banal as the slaying
of a toddler was shocking.
Investigators concluded that
Antonio was killed during an
attempted street robbery as
his mother, Sherry West, was
strolling home with the child
from the post ofce. West
said a gunman demanding
cash shot her baby in the face
after she told him she had no
money.
He kept asking, and I just
said I dont have it, West
told The Associated Press the
day after the slaying. And he
said, Do you want me to kill
your baby? And I said, No,
dont kill my baby!
West was shot in the leg,
and another bullet grazed
her ear. Witnesses called
911 and rushed to her aid.
None saw the shooting, but
they watched as West tried
to revive her son using CPR.
No, the babys not breath-
ing, one caller told a 911
operator.

Based on laboratory wear simulation testing, the LEGION Primary Knee System with VERILAST Technology is
expected to provide wear performance sufficient for 30 years of actual use under typical conditions. The results
of laboratory wear simulation testing have not been proven to predict actual wear and performance in people.
A reduction in total polyethylene wear volume or wear rate alone may not result in an improved clinical outcome
as wear particle size and form are also important factors in the study of the potential for wear caused by loss of
calcium from bone and implant loosening. These other factors were not studied as part of the testing.
There are potential risks with knee replacement surgery such as loosening, fracture, dislocation, wear and
infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Do not perform high impact activities such as running
and jumping unless your surgeon tells you the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device
failure, breakage or loosening may occur if you do not follow your surgeons limitations on activity level. Early failure
can happen if you do not guard your knee joint from overloading due to activity level, failure to control body weight
or accidents such as falls. Knee replacement surgery is intended to relieve knee pain and improve knee functions.
Talk to your doctor to determine what treatment may be best for you. Additional information available at

West Pittston Library closed and
was sprayedfor eas onWednesday
after a bug was spotted, a library
ofcial said.
We closed for a day to have a
treatment done on the carpets,
said Anne Bramlett Barr, the
library director. A patron thought
they saw a bug, so we called an
exterminator just in case.
Area libraries have seen a sig-
nicant increase in trafc since
the Pittston Library was closed on
Aug. 2 for three weeks because of a
ea infestation, Barr said.
The patron saw a bug in a simi-
lar place to where Pittston had its
problem, near the public comput-
ers, she said.
Weve been cleaning and vacu-
uming and havent seen anything
else, Barr said.
The Pittston Memorial Library
closed earlier this month when
people noticed eas around the
public computer terminals. Seitz
Brothers Exterminators of Pittston
has treated the problem, said
Pittston Memorial Library Board
President Barbara Quinn.
County and state Department of
Heath ofcials urged that library
to close until the problem is eradi-
cated.
Library ofcials were told the
bugs have a 21-day incubation peri-
od; so to be safe, ofcials closed the
library for the entire 21 days. One
reason for the closure is the danger
of eas spreading in books through
the countys inter-library loan pro-
gram. Fleas could possibly be trans-
ferred to other libraries.
The Pittston Memorial Library
will reopen at 9 a.m. Friday.
W. Pittston Library closes for fea spraying

These organics
are going by an
assumed name
MARY ESCH
Associated Press
S CHAGHTI COKE ,
N.Y. Justine and Brian
Denison say they adhere
to all the growing practices
required for organic cer-
tication, yet if they label
their beans and tomatoes
organic at the farmers
market, they could face fed-
eral charges and $20,000 or
more in nes.
Because the Denisons
chose not to seek organic
certication by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
the Denison Farm, which
has been under organic
management for more than
20 years, is banned from
using that term.
So they and hundreds
of other small direct-mar-
keting farms across the
country have adopted an
alternative label: certied
naturally grown.
Started by a group of
organic farmers in New
Yorks mid-Hudson Valley
as a backlash against
federal takeover of the
organic program in 2002,
Certied Naturally Grown
has expanded over the past
decade to include more
than 700 farms in 47 states,
executive director Alice
Varon said.
Certied Naturally
Grown is tailored for direct-
market farmers producing
food without any synthetic
chemicals specically for
their local communities,
Varon said. Its a par-
ticular niche of the agri-
cultural world. Its not in
direct competition with the
national organic program.
Many small farmers pre-
viously certied organic
by an independent orga-
nization have declined to
participate in the federal
program.
They voice a variety
of objections: extensive
record-keeping require-
ments; fees that can amount
to 6 percent of a small farms
gross sales; and philosophi-
cal objections to joining a
monolithic government-run
program that also certies
huge operations that ship
produce across the country.
We have noticed over
time that more and more
farmers often, younger
farmers who appear to
be following organic prac-
tices dont bother to get cer-
tied, said Jack Kittredge,
co-owner of a certied
organic farm in Barre,
Mass., and editor of The
Natural Farmer, journal
of the Northeast Organic
Farming Association.
My major concern is
that sometimes, unless
youre certied youre not
even aware of some of the
problems, such as call-
ing livestock organic even
though the animals eat
feed containing genetically
modied crops.
Atina Difey, an organic
farming consultant and
author in Farmington,
Minn., said alternative
labels create confusion for
customers.
She said there are only
about 13,000 USDAcertied
organic farms out of 2.2 mil-
lion farms, and more organic
farms are needed to bolster
the movements impact
on national farm policy.
When farms have an alter-
native certication, theyre
not counted, she said.
AP photo
Workers transplant lettuce in a field last week at Denison Farm in
Schaghticoke, N.Y., one of many farms lacking organic certification
to have adopted an alternative label: certified naturally grown.
Sam Jones, spokesman
for USDAs organic certi-
cation program, said the
agency doesnt comment
on guidelines other than its
own.
Jones said USDA has a
new program called Sound
and Sensible, aimed at
reducing paperwork and
other burdensome aspects
of certication.
Ryan Voilland, co-owner
of the certied organic Red
Fire Farm in Granby, Mass.,
said the certication fees
and paperwork arent a big
burden.
He grows 100 acres of
produce and has gross sales
of about $2 million, and
pays $2,000 a year for cer-
tication, of which $750 is
returned in a federal rebate
program. The premium
price for organic produce far
outweighs the fee, he said.
But farmers who opt
for labels like Certied
Naturally Grown and The
Farmers Pledge, sponsored
by the Northeast Organic
Farming Association of
New York, say theres room
for all the labels; some
farms even boast several
alternative labels in addi-
tion to USDA organic.
The Farmers Pledge is
a better program for direct-
sales farmers like me, who
nd the national organic
program too burdensome,
said Mark Dunau, who farms
ve acres in the Delaware
County town of Hancock.
Farmers who partici-
pate in Certied Naturally
Grown rely on peer inspec-
tion by other farmers to
ensure they follow organic
practices, such as avoiding
synthetic pesticides and
fertilizers and using cover
crops and rotation for
healthy soil.
While critics say peer
review rather than USDA-
certied inspectors could
lead to cutting corners,
Varon said thats unlikely.
Its a different mind-
set that people bring
to Certied Naturally
Grown, Varon said.
They believe in farming
in harmony with nature
as an expression of their
values. Its not something
they do to get a premi-
um in the marketplace.
Underdog leaps ahead in NYC mayoral race
NEW YORK Bill de
Blasio has gone from after-
thought to front-runner
with stunning speed.
The most liberal candi-
date in the New York City
mayoral race, whose City
Hall bid was ounder-
ing mere weeks ago, now
enjoys a shocking perch
atop the polls in the latest
turn of the most unpredict-
able citywide campaign in
decades.
And with the Democratic
primary now less than a
month away, de Blasio
might have hit his stride at
just the right time.
De Blasio, the citys
public advocate, has been
given a second look by
an electorate that appears
intrigued by his progres-
sive policies and charmed
by his multiracial family.
His rst TV ad, narrated
by his soft-spoken 15-year-
old son, came out just
before his rise in the polls.
De Blasio, of Brooklyn,
has also clearly ben-
eted by the implosion of
Anthony Weiners candi-
dacy, winning over legions
of supporters turned off by
the former Brooklyn and
Queens congressmans lat-
est sexting scandal.
When Weiner entered
the race, de Blasio was the
most hurt, since they were
both outer-borough can-
didates appealing to the
same progressive voters,
said Jeanne Zaino, a New
York University political
science professor. Those
people have now turned to
him.
Independent Mayor
Michael Bloombergs
impending departure after
12 years in ofce has cre-
ated a wide-open race; the
Democratic eld
alone has had three
different leaders in
as many weeks.
A Quinnipiac
University poll this
past week showed
that de Blasios
support had dou-
bled in less than a
month, pushing him from
fourth to slightly ahead of
the pack.
A second poll released
this week showed him
in a dead heat with City
Council Speaker Christine
Quinn, with ex-comptrol-
ler Bill Thompson slightly
behind. Weiner, once the
leader, is now fourth.
De Blasio, 52, believes it
was simply a matter of time
before his message resonat-
ed with voters in New York
City, where Democrats out-
number Republicans 6-1.
Its happening now
because people are nally
starting to focus on the
race, de Blasio said.
After 12 years of Mayor
Bloomberg, people want a
real change.
De Blasio, though largely
unfamiliar on the national
stage, has been a xture
for two decades in New
York politics.
He was born in
Massachusetts and
remains a Boston Red
Sox fan but as an adult
became entrenched in the
New Yorks liberal circles.
De Blasio who stands
6-feet-5, advised former
New York Mayor David
Dinkins, worked
in Bill Clintons
White House,
chaired Hillary
Clintons 2000
Senate campaign
and served on
the City Council
before becoming
public advocate
four years ago.
It is rare to nd a candi-
date who appears almost
gleeful when proposing
raising taxes, but de Blasio
has happily made as the
centerpiece of his cam-
paign a proposal to raise
taxes on the wealthy to pay
for universal pre-kinder-
garten.
He repeatedly bran-
dishes the phrase a tale of
two cities to rip the eco-
nomic inequality between
the rich and poor in the
nations largest city. He
often bashes Quinns links
to Bloomberg and calls for
more affordable housing.
And he has consis-
tently attacked the New
York Police Departments
stop-and-frisk program
stopping and searching
people deemed to be act-
ing suspiciously as dis-
criminatory to blacks and
Hispanics, an effort hand-
ed a victory this past week
when a judge appointed a
federal monitor to oversee
the department.
De Blasio has aggres-
sively courted minority
voters, who are expected
to make up more than 50
percent of the electorate on
primary day, Sept. 10.
He has won endorse-
ments from several black
and Latino elected ofcials
and the citys largest labor
union, composed largely of
minority workers.
He also has put his
interracial family at the
heart of his campaign.
His wife is an African-
American who once iden-
tied as a lesbian, and
their two teenage chil-
dren are frequently on the
campaign trail.
Their son, Dante, lov-
ingly talks in the ad about
his fathers life and poli-
cies, including his oppo-
sition to stop-and-frisk.
His earnest delivery and
impressive Afro have
made him a Twitter star.
Its very effective and
uses his family well,
said Zaino, who noted
that many New Yorkers
have Bloomberg
fatigue and such an ad
is unlike anything the
mayor would have done.

WASHINGTONOften
criticized as too prescrip-
tive and all-consuming,
standardized tests have sup-
port among parents, who
view them as a useful way
to measure both students
and schools performances,
according to an Associated
Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research poll.
Most parents also say
their own children are given
about the right number of
standardized tests, accord-
ing to the AP-NORC poll.
Theyd like to see student
performance on statewide
exams used in evaluating
teachers, and almost three-
quarters said they favored
changes that would make
it easier for schools to re
poorly performing teachers.
The tests are good
because they showus where
students are at, if they need
help with anything, said
Vicky Nevarez, whose son
Jesse just graduated from
high school in Murrieta,
Calif. His teachers were
great, and if there were
problems, the tests let me
know.
The polling results are
good news for states look-
ing to implement increased
accountability standards
and for people who want to
hold teachers responsible
for students slipping stand-
ing against other countries
scores.
Teachers unions have
objected to linking educa-
tors evaluations to student
performance.
As students prepare to
return to classrooms, the
AP-NORC Center surveyed
parents of students at all
grade levels and found:
Sixty-one percent of
parents think their children
take an appropriate number
of standardized tests and 26
percent think their children
take too many tests.
Teachers fates
shouldnt rest solely on
test results, according to a
majority of parents. Fifty-
six percent said classroom
observations should be
part of teachers evalua-
tions, and 74 percent of all
parents said they wanted
districts to help struggling
teachers.
Despite many
Republicans unrelenting
criticism of the Common
Core State Standards, in
various stages of implemen-
tation in 45 states and the
District of Columbia, 52
percent parents have heard
little or nothing about the
academic benchmarks and a
third are unsure if they live
in a state using them.
Still, when given a brief
description of what the stan-
dards do, about half of par-
ents say educational qual-
ity will improve once the
standards are implemented,
11 percent think it will get
worse, and 27 percent say
theyll have no effect.
Seventy-ve percent
of parents say standardized
tests are a solid measure of
their childrens abilities, and
69 percent say such exams
are a good measure of the
schools quality.
We know when the tests
are coming up. They spend
a lot of time getting ready
for them, said Rodney
Land, of Lansing, Mich.
His daughter, Selena, will
be in eighth grade at a char-
ter school this fall. Land,
a weights-and-measures
inspector, supports the test-
ing because it shows what
they know and what they
should know.
We need some way
to keep track of whether
the teachers are spending
enough time educating,
Land said.
Education union leaders
have stood opposed to link-
ing teacher evaluations with
these tests, arguing that it is
unfair to punish teachers for
students shortcomings.
They also say teachers
have not had sufcient time
to rewrite their lessons to
reect newacademic bench-
marks, such as those found
in the Common Core.
When states have adopt-
ed the Common Core State
Standards, which aim to
provide consistent require-
ments across all states for
math and English, test
results often falter, and
the standards can make
schools and teachers
appear to be faring worse
than they did the previous
year.
So what to do with those
test results?
A full 93 percent of par-
ents say standardized tests
should be used to identify
areas where students need
extra help.
Smaller majorities think
such tests should be used
to measure school quality,
evaluate teachers or deter-
mine whether or not stu-
dents are promoted or can
graduate.
At the same time, 72 per-
cent of all parents said they
want to make it easier for
school districts to re teach-
ers who arent getting the
job done.
That position had the
strongest showing among
white parents, 80 percent
of whom favored the idea.
About 6 in 10 Hispanic or
black parents agreed.
Thats not to say, though,
that parents want to dismiss
teachers immediately or
leave them without a safety
net, especially not new edu-
cators.
Eighty-seven percent of
all parents said they wanted
districts to spend money to
help new teachers.
For Julie Dorwart, a
behavioral therapist from
Wilmington, N.C., making
sure students do well with
the material thats taught is
important.
Her son Matt, who
is starting his fresh-
man year of high school
this fall, really stressed
out about standardized
tests but nonetheless per-
formed well. She would
prefer that school ofcials
evaluate students and
teachers based on grades,
not just universal tests.
The schools make such
a big deal about them and
put so much emphasis on
the (tests) that the kids freak
out, she said.
Among parents who are
also teachers or share a
household with a teacher,
the opinions shifted.
Only about 3 in 10 in
that group think changes in
students test scores should
count in teacher evalua-
tions. And about 55 percent
of households with teachers
said standardized test scores
in general should not be used
to evaluate teachers.
I think the biggest crime
is that teaching has turned
to focus on the tests, rather
than the tests being a tool
that help you understand.
All the teaching and learn-
ing is on the subject being
tested, said Abby Cohen,
a 50-year-old teacher from
Newton, Mass., a Boston
suburb.
Her daughter, Isabel
Snyder, is starting her senior
year, and Cohen worries
Isabel didnt get as much
as she could have from the
teachers because of the focus
on testing.
You have to ask how
much youre straitjacketing
the teachers, Cohen said.
The survey was sponsored
by the Joyce Foundation,
which works to promote pol-
icies that improve the qual-
ity of teachers, including the
development of new teacher
evaluation systems, enhance
early reading reforms and
encourage innovation in pub-
lic schools.
The AP-NORC Center
for Public Affairs Research
survey was conducted June
21 through July 22, 2013.
The nationally represen-
tative poll, conducted by
NORC at the University of
Chicago, involved landline
and cellphone interviews
in English or Spanish with
1,025 parents of children
who completed grades
K through 12 in the last
school year.
Results for the full sam-
ple have a margin of sam-
pling error of plus or minus
4.1 percentage points; it is
larger for subgroups.

Too many tests? Parents say no
An AP-NORC Center poll finds just a quarter of parents think
their children are overtested. Many are skeptical public
schools prepare students for work and life.
NOTE: Poll of 1,025 parents of children enrolled in grades K-12 in the last
school year; conducted June 21-July 22, 2013; margin of error 4.1 per-
centage points.
Overall, do you think students in your child's school take too
many standardized tests, too few standardized tests, or is it
about right?
Too few: 11%
Too many: 26% About right: 61%
Dont know/refused: 1%

HARRISBURG Gov.
Tom Corbett might not be
changing his message as
he shifts into re-election
mode, but for the rst time
in his nearly three-year
tenure hes bringing in new
messengers.
The Republican has
appointed a new chief of
staff and a new communi-
cations director both
seasoned political opera-
tives who worked for Gov.
Tom Ridge and plans to
name a press secretary in
an apparent effort to bol-
ster his relationship with
the news media.
Corbetts choice of
communication direc-
tor, announced last week,
is Luzerne County resi-
dent Lynn Lawson, 53, of
Conyngham. Lynn brings
a signicant record of
accomplishment in devel-
oping and implementing
communications plans,
Corbett said.
The shake-up comes on
the heels of a legislative
session that failed to yield
a single victory among
Corbetts top three initia-
tives transportation
funding, liquor privatiza-
tion and changes to the
public pension system
and polls that show his
public support sagging.
Among the outsiders
watching all of this closely
are the former press secre-
taries to the gover-
nors who preceded
Corbett. And they
have some strong
opinions about
how the incum-
bent deals with
the news media
and the public.
Tim Reeves, who was
Ridges spokesman, said
Ridge often remarked that
he loved being governor,
especially the adversarial
relationship he shared with
reporters. I never got the
feeling that that love con-
tinued in the Corbett
administration, he said.
Reeves, a former news-
paper reporter who cov-
ered the Capitol, said
Corbetts press ofce
treated journalists ques-
tions and requests as a
necessary evil and some-
thing to be disregarded
and minimized and held
at arms length.
Ridge, a Republican,
always knew that it was
a two-way street, like all
healthy relationships, that
journalists need informa-
tion to do their jobs, they
need access to do their
jobs and they need respon-
siveness to do their jobs,
he said.
Chuck Ardo, who was
Gov. Ed Rendells spokes-
man for much of his two
terms, singled out Kevin
Harley, Corbetts depart-
ing press secretary, as a
source of unnecessary
friction.
Harleys combative
relationship with the
press corps made the job
more difcult and less fun
than it could otherwise
have been, Ardo said.
Former GOP Gov. Mark
Schweikers press secre-
tary, Dave LaTorre, said
the changes are
good for Harley,
who is joining a
Harrisburg pub-
lic-relations rm
with the Corbett
campaign as a cli-
ent, and good for
Corbett, whose
ofce will benet from
fresh leadership.
It frees Kevin up to
devote a great deal of time
to the political campaign.
It makes sense from a
practical, political stand-
point, LaTorre said.
Harley said he was not
forced out of his dual role
as Corbetts communica-
tions director and press
secretary. He said Corbett
stepped up public appear-
ances earlier this year as
he prepares to make his
case to Pennsylvania vot-
ers for a second term.
Hes doing what he
promised he would do,
Harley said. Hes creating
jobs and reducing taxes
making Pennsylvania
a better place to live and
raise a family.
Vince Carocci, who was
Democratic Gov. Robert
P. Caseys press secretary,
said in a telephone inter-
view that its not easy
being a press secretary.
No press secretary
ever does well enough for
the guy they work with,
he said. The criticism
comes with the ofce of
governor and its hard for
press secretaries to keep
their governor happy if
hes constantly getting
criticized.
Of the Corbett reshuf-
ing, Carocci said, If
theyre still talking about
this six months from now,
then it means it didnt
work.

An exhibit to open near Doylestown this fall will include some of

such as this one showing honeymooners Kelly and Prince Rainier
III toasting each other April 23, 1956.
Exhibit coming to Pa.
looks at life of Grace Kelly
PHILADELPHIA
The world thinks of Grace
Kelly as a fashion icon,
movie star, princess,
wife and mother, but in
Philadelphia shes rst and
foremost remembered as a
hometown girl who never
forgot her roots.
So it seems tting that an
exhibit on Kellys upbring-
ing, Hollywood career and
storybook ascent to roy-
alty will make its only U.S.
stop in the area where she
spent her early years, orga-
nizers said at a news con-
ference unveiling details of
Grace Kelly: Beyond the
Icon at an event Thursday
that was held, aptly, in the
Hotel Monaco in down-
town Philadelphia.
She never lost touch
with her family and the
Philadelphians that she
grew up with, said Kellys
nephew Christopher Le
Vine, who recalled his
aunt packing up some
Philadelphia scrapple
a love-it-or-hate-it loaf
of pork scraps and corn-
meal to bring back to
Monaco so the palace chef
could re-create the humble
dish.
She was goingtotell him
that it was a certain special
pate from Philadelphia
for petit dejeuner (break-
fast), Le Vine told the
laughing crowd. She had
her Philadelphia roots with
her wherever she went.
The exhibit opens Oct.
28 at the Michener Art
Museum in suburban
Doylestown, not far from
where Kelly made her pro-
fessional stage debut at the
Bucks County Playhouse in
1949. On view will be per-
sonal photos, love letters
from her husband Prince
Rainier of Monaco, her
1954 best actress Academy
Award for The Country
Girl, lm clips and home
movies, as well as iconic
fashions from gowns and
the Yves Saint Laurent
Mondrian dress to the
Hermes Kelly bag she
made famous.
Monacos ruling sover-
eign, Prince Albert II, said
in video-recorded remarks
his mother was indeed
a talented woman who
became an international
fashion icon but that is just
the surface of her life.
Those of us who were
fortunate enough to know
my mother, her family and
friends, knew her to be a
genuine, warm and lov-
ing woman a woman
who always put her family
rst, he said. I hope that
through experiencing this
exhibition you will be able
to get a glimpse of the real
Grace Kelly, the woman
behind the icon, my moth-
er.
She had her Philadelphia
roots with her wherever
she went, nephews says

SIMI VALLEY, Calif.
The sun was barely up at a
former Cold War rocket test
site when crews in hard hats,
neon vests and steel-toe
boots collected jars of dirt
as part of a massive effort
to clean up from a partial
nuclear meltdown a half cen-
tury ago.
Parties that inherited the
toxic mess face a 2017 dead-
line to restore the sprawl-
ing hilltop complex on the
outskirts of Los Angeles to
its condition before chemi-
cal and radioactive wastes
leached into the soil and
groundwater.
For residents living down-
hill from the Santa Susana
Field Laboratory, it would
seem like a conclusion to a
protracted ght. But many
remain dissatised that a
large portion of the land
wont be cleaned to the high-
est standards.
I dont care how long it
takes, I just want it cleaned,
said 62-year-old Holly Huff,
whose family moved into
the area a month before the
1959 nuclear accident.
The road to decontami-
nation has been long and
costly, as winding as the
two-lane path to the lab
entrance 30 miles northwest
of downtown LA. Decades
in the works, the cleanup
has been complicated by the
web of owners and respon-
sible parties at the nearly
2,900-acre site.
Environmentalists and
homeowners three years
ago cheered when the U.S.
Energy Department and
NASA agreed to clean their
parcels to background levels
the most stringent stan-
dard essentially returning
the land to its natural state.
But Boeing Co., which
owns the lions share, opted
to follow cleanup rules
drawn up in a 2007 pact
requiring the site to be
scrubbed to a lesser stan-
dard. Despite the lower bar,
Boeing said its complying
with cleanup expectations
typical of Superfund sites.
The defense contractor
wants to transform its taint-
ed section into a park and
says its doing more than
necessary to meet that goal.
We want to make planes,
and thats our mission. We
want to get this site cleaned
up as quickly and as safely as
possible, said Boeing proj-
ect manager Art Lenox.
On a recent July morn-
ing, loud drills echoed from
the Boeing section where
workers fetched soil samples
that were then transferred
to stainless steel containers
and placed in a cooler for
later analysis.
In the area of the nuclear
meltdown, another team
used shovels to dig into the
dirt like archaeologists. The
goal: determine the amount
of volatile organics, heavy
metals and other possible
carcinogens left over from
the rocket testing and the
nuclear age.

Crews struggle to restore former nuke lab site in Calif.
Deadline to remove toxic mess is 2017,
which some say is too ambitious
ALICIA CHANG
AP Science Writer
HAYWARD, Calif. With a series
of quick blasts and a cloud of dust a
13-story building on the Cal State-East
Bay campus crashed to the ground
Saturday morning as scientists moni-
tored the impact on the nearby Hayward
Fault.
The controlled implosion on a hill-
side above the San Francisco Bay also
attracted scores of gawkers eager to feel
the magnitude 2.0 shockwaves scien-
tists predicted would occur from 12,500
tons of crashing concrete and steel.
U.S. Geological Survey scientists had
placed more than 600 seismographs in
concentric circles within a mile of the
building to pick up the vibrations.
They hope the unique experiment
will help map out where the ground
might shake the most when the big one
hits, though the data collected Saturday
will take at least three months to ana-
lyze.
When that building dropped we
should have gotten a nice, continuous
signal for eight to 10 seconds, said
Rufus Catchings, the lead USGS scien-
tist on the project, minutes after the
dust settled.
Catchings said he was happy with the
execution of the implosion that caused
the distinctive building on an East Bay
hillside to collapse from view in fewer
than ve seconds.
It was so fast it was over before you
knew it, said Sally Lopez, 71, who met
her husband when both were students
at the school and came from nearby
Fremont to watch the building drop.
The entire experiment is an attempt
to answer the question: What will hap-
pen when the next Big One strikes?
For years now, the region has been
bracing for a major earthquake that
many worry could level vulnerable
schools, hospitals and apartment build-
ings and unleash near-apocalyptic
chaos. The USGS estimates there is
a 63 percent chance of a major earth-
quake in the region within the next
three decades.
The 13-story Warren Hall was built
about 2000 feet from what researchers
call one of the most dangerous fault
lines in the country.
Were just getting an idea of the dis-
tribution of the shaking, said scientist
Catchings.
Many vividly remember the mag-
nitude-6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake
in 1989 that killed 63 people, injured
almost 3,800, caused up to $10 billion
damage, including a collapsed freeway
that killed dozens of drivers. That quake
was centered near Santa Cruz, about 50
miles south of here.
But in the East Bay, the Hayward fault
which runs through East Bay cities
and under the University of California,
Berkeleys football stadium is the
most likely to act up and cause a major
earthquake in the next few decades,
experts say.
The last major temblor on the
Hayward fault was in 1868, Catchings
said. He said the fault triggers a major
earthquake every 140 years on average.
And its not just the fault line resi-
dents have to worry about. Additional
fault lines called traces split off
from the main fault, and the location of
many is unknown. The vibrations set off
by Warren Halls implosion will help sci-
entists gure out where they are.
In the event of a large earthquake,
oftentimes its not just one break in
the ground, its spread out over some
distance, Catchings said. Youd kind
of like to know where all these things
are if you really want to understand the
hazard.
Mark Salinas, Haywards mayor pro
tem, said knowing where the ground
shakes will help the city decide where
to put new housing and other build-
ings. This data, when its available, will
inform us on future development, he
said.
The idea to use the buildings demoli-
tion came from Luther Strayer, a geol-
ogy professor at the university who
called the USGS to see if they would be
interested.
Anybody in my position who is
trained like I am would have recognized
the opportunity, Strayer said. Thats
really the cool part; it was sort of a
simple obvious thing to do and it can
do so much good for our society and the
community.

DAVID PORTER
Associated Press
Five decades after
President John F. Kennedy
was fatally shot and long
after ofcial inquiries ended,
thousands of pages of inves-
tigative documents remain
withheld from public view.
Some serious research-
ers believe the off-limits
les could shed valuable
new light on nagging mys-
teries of the assassination,
including what U.S. intel-
ligence agencies knew
about accused assassin Lee
Harvey Oswald before Nov.
22, 1963.
It turns out that sev-
eral hundred of the still-
classied pages concern a
deceased CIAagent, George
Joannides, whose activities
just before the assassination
and, fascinatingly, during a
government investigation
years later, have tantalized
researchers for years.
This is not about conspir-
acy; this is about transpar-
ency, said Jefferson Morley,
a former Washington
Post reporter and author
embroiled in a decade-long
lawsuit against the CIA,
seeking release of the closed
documents. I think the CIA
should obey the law. I dont
think most people think
thats a crazy idea.
Morleys effort has been
joined by others, includ-
ing G. Robert Blakey, chief
counsel for a House investi-
gation into the JFK assassi-
nation in the 1970s.
But so far, the Joannides
les and thousands more
pages, primarily from the
CIA, remain off-limits.
Others say the continued
sealing of documents raises
needless questions in the
publics mind and encour-
ages conspiracy theories.
There is no question
that in various ways the CIA
obfuscated, but it may be
they were covering up oper-
ations that were justiable,
benign CIA operations that
had absolutely nothing to
do with the Kennedy assas-
sination, said Anthony
Summers, a British author.
But after 50 years, there
is no reason that I can think
of why such operations
should still be concealed,
Summers said. By with-
holding Joannides mate-
rial, the agency continues
to encourage the public to
believe theyre covering up
something more sinister.
To understand the atten-
tion to the Joannides les,
its necessary to go back to
1963 and to review whats
known about Oswald that
put him on the CIAs radar.
Its alsoimportant torecall
the differing conclusions of
the two ofcial investiga-
tions of the JFK killing.
Understanding Oswald
Oswald was a loner and
an enigma even to those
closest to him.
He was as difcult to
understand as anyone Ive
studied in 35 years as a
professional historian,
said David Kaiser, whose
2008 book, The Road To
Dallas: The Assassination of
joined, the Fair Play For
Cuba Committee, and that
the street scene was a setup.
Declassied documents
show that Joannides, while
basedinMiami, was the CIA
case ofcer for the anti-Cas-
tro Student Revolutionary
Directorate, or DRE, the
group involved in the street
fracas with Oswald.
The Warren Commission,
which concluded that
Oswald acted alone and was
not part of a conspiracy, was
never told about the CIAs
possibly relevant anti-Castro
activities, despite the fact
that former CIA director
Allen Dulles was a Warren
Commission member.
Warren Commission staff
counsel Burt Grifn, now a
retired judge, calls it an act
of bad faith by the CIA.
I think they had an
obligation to tell the chief
justice (Earl Warren, com-
mission chairman) about
that, and then that decision
would have been his and
the commissions to make,
Grifn said.
In separate interviews
with The Associated Press,
Grifn and fellowstaff coun-
sel David Slawson stood by
the Warren Commissions
conclusions.
Each pointed to a series
of personal rejections
behind Oswalds deadly
action: Weeks after he made
an unsuccessful attempt in
Mexico City to get a visa
to Cuba, his wife, Marina,
rejected his attempts to rec-
oncile their rocky marriage.
It was during Oswalds
visit, the night before the
shooting, to the suburban
Dallas home where his
wife and two young daugh-
ters were staying that he
packed up his disassembled
Mannlicher-Carcano rie to
take to work the next day,
the Warren Commission
determined.
If she had taken him
back, Slawson said, he
wouldnt have done it.
By the time the House
Select Committee on
Assassinations convened in
the mid-1970s to probe the

Some fles fromJFK assassination probe remain sealed
AP file photo
Decades after President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, and long after
official inquiries ended, thousands of pages of investigative documents remain withheld from public
view. Congress passed a law requiring the release of documents, but certain ones were exempted.
John F. Kennedy, drew on
tens of thousands of docu-
ments released in the 1990s.
Still, plenty was learned
about Oswald after the
shooting in Dallas. And its
now clear that he was not
unknown to the U.S. govern-
ment before that.
Assassination investiga-
tors learned that Oswald
had formed a group in New
Orleans in the summer of
1963 that ostensibly sup-
ported Cuban leader Fidel
Castro (Oswald was the only
local member) and had been
involved in a street alterca-
tion with anti-Castro demon-
strators that was captured by
a local television station.
Pamphlets Oswald had
in his possession bore an
address of a local anti-Castro
operation connected to a for-
mer FBI agent with ties to
organized crime, investiga-
tors discovered.
That and other informa-
tion has led researchers to
believe that Oswald may
have been part of a coun-
terintelligence operation to
discredit the group he had
Kennedy and Martin Luther
King Jr. killings, other con-
gressional investigations
had exposed the CIAs
activities in the early 1960s.
Blakey, the commit-
tees chief counsel, recalled
how the CIA brought in
Joannides to act as a middle-
man to help ll requests for
documents made by com-
mittee researchers.
He was put in a position
to edit everything we were
given before it was given to
us, Blakey said.
But Blakey didnt learn
about Joannides past until
Morley unearthed it in les
declassied later.
If Id known Joannides
was the case ofcer for the
DRE, he couldnt have been
liaison; he would have been
a witness, Blakey said.
Push for openness
Which brings us back to
the still-secret investigative
les, about 300 pages of
which relate to Joannides.
Certain les held by the
Warren Commission and
House Select Committee
were ordered sealed well
into the 21st century.
Decades passed before
public pressure spurred by
Oliver Stones 1991 lm
JFK changed that.
Congress passed an
act establishing the
Assassination Records
Review Board to release
records related to the assas-
sination.
But the review board
agreed to withhold about
1,100 records considered to
contain information about
condential sources or
methods or have national
security implications.
The act required all
records to be released by
2017, but it left some wiggle
roomfor agencies to petition
to have records withheld.
You have to wonder what
is so important in a 50-year-
old document, Morley said.
Ive come to the conclusion
that theyre guarding some-
thing big, and that has stiff-
ened my determination.

of Christians have also
been targeted.
Such attacks spurred
widespread public anger
against the Brotherhood,
giving the military-backed
government popular back-
ing to step up its campaign
against the Islamist group.
It reminded people of a
decade-long Islamist insur-
gency against Mubaraks
rule in the 1990s which
only strengthened secu-
rity agencies and ended up
with thousands of Islamic
fundamentalists in prisons.
The unrest in Egypt has
raised international con-
cerns over the countrys
stability and prompted
U.N. Secretary General
Ban Ki-Moon to condemn
in a statement on Saturday
both violent protests in
reference to Brotherhoods
rallies and the authorities
excessive use of force.
Ban also noted, in
an apparent rebuff of
Brotherhood demands to
reinstate Morsi, that the
political clocks move only
forward, not backward
and urged maximum
restraint and shift immedi-
ately to de-escalation.
Former President Jimmy
Carter expressed deep con-
cern over the violence, say-
ing it is rapidly eroding
the chances for dialogue
and a road to reconcilia-
tion. Carter added that
he is especially concerned
that Egyptians are arming
themselves and engaging
in inter-communal vio-
lence.
In Cairo, the assault on
the al-Fath Mosque began
on Friday when pro-Morsi
protesters and armed men
ed into the worship cen-
ter to avoid angry vigilan-
tes and arrest. They piled
furniture in the mosques
entrance to block authori-
ties and enraged anti-Mor-
si protesters from reaching
them.
The mosque served
as a eld hospital and
an open-air morgue as a
Brotherhood-called day
of protests descended
into violence. By day-
break Saturday, security
forces and armored per-
sonnel carriers had sur-
rounded the mosque and it
appeared that military-led
negotiations might defuse
the standoff.
A post on the Facebook
page of the army spokes-
man, Col. Mohammed Ali,
accused gunmen of ring
from the mosque at near-
by buildings, located on
Ramses Square in central
Cairo. The upper oors of
a commercial building
and blood bank towering
over the square caught
re during the mayhem,
with ames engulng it for
hours.
A Muslim cleric, Sheik
Abdel-Haz el-Maslami,
told The Associated Press
that people were afraid to
leave the mosque out of
fear of detention or being
assaulted by the crowd
outside. He said there
were armed men inside the
mosque at one point but
protesters had forced them
out.
We lost control over
things, the cleric said.
There were men with
arms in the mosque who
were forced out of the
mosque but we cant con-
trol things here.
He said there were
ongoing negotiations with
the military to enable the
protesters to safely leave.
State television showed
small groups emerging
from the mosque by late
Saturday morning.
However, local journal-
ist Shaimaa Awad who
was trapped in the mosque
with the Islamists said
the talks failed after three
women were detained by
the military after agreeing
to get out early Saturday
morning.
An AP reporter said
that thousands of anti-
Islamist protesters rallied
outside the mosque, chant-
ing: God take revenge on
Morsi and those standing
behind him!
Army tanks and sol-
diers closed off the main
entrances to Ramses
Square as soldiers sealed
off the area with barbed
wire.
BymiddaySaturday, gun-
men took over a mosque
minaret and opened re on
the security forces below,
the state-run MENA news
agency said. The crowd
around the mosque pan-
icked as soldiers opened
re with assault ries, the
chaos broadcast live on
local television channels.
Several security ofcials
told The Associated Press
that ending the standoff at
the mosque was essential
after receiving information
that the group planned to
turn it into a new sit-in
protest camp. They spoke
on condition of anonymity
in line with regulations.
On Wednesday, riot
police, military helicop-
ters, snipers and bulldoz-
ers broke up two sit-in pro-
tests in Cairo by Morsis
supporters, leaving more
than 600 people dead and
thousands injured. That
sparked days of violence
that killed 173 people and
injured 1,330 people on
Friday alone, when the
Brotherhood called for
protests during a Day of
Rage, Cabinet spokesman
Sherif Shawki said.
Among those who
died Friday was Ammar
Badie, a son of the
Brotherhoods spiritual
leader Mohammed Badie,
the groups political arm
said in a statement.
Prime Minister Hazem
el-Beblawi, who leads the
military-backed govern-
ment, later told journal-
ists that authorities had
no choice but to use force
in the wake of recent vio-
lence.
I feel sorry for valuable
blood shed, el-Beblawi
said. However, he cau-
tioned that there will be no
reconciliation with those
whose hands are stained
with blood or those who
hold weapons against the
countrys institutions.
Signaling the
Brotherhoods precarious
political position, Shawki
said the government was
considering ordering that
the group be disbanded.
The spokesman said
the prime minister had
assigned the Ministry of
Social Solidarity to study
the legal possibilities of
dissolving the group. He
didnt elaborate.

Egypt
Dallas resident
Mahmoud Fahmy, a retired
professor and historian
who was born in Egypt,
said that while the upheav-
al and bloodshed in his
native land might seem far
removed from everyday
life in the United States, it
would be in the best inter-
est of Americans to keep
abreast of the situation for
several reasons.
Egypt is a very impor-
tant ally of the United
States, and an informed
public can help convince
their elected ofcials to
deal with the country
appropriately. We cannot
just think, We dont care,
let them kill each other,
Fahmy, 82, said in a recent
interview.
Speaking as an
American, we should be
informed about the issues
because its very easy to
look at social media news
and rumors and make gen-
eralizations. Religion
and education are very
important from a cultural
perspective. We should not
overreact in this case, he
said, given that Egypt is an
Islamic society.
From a nancial aspect,
increased unrest in the
Middle East can lead to
rising oil prices. Also,
Egypt is in control of the
Suez Canal, a major pipe-
line of goods between the
East and West. If operation
of the canal is threatened,
that could cause prices for-
goods to spike. With the
unrest, Egyptian labor also
is threatened.
Fahmy said its impor-
tant to understand why
people are rioting in the
streets and holding sit-ins.
Supporters of Mohammed
Morsi, who was ousted
as president last month,
have been staging sit-ins
and the army has been
attacking them. Many of
them are members or sup-
porters of Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood.
Egypts June 2012 presi-
dential election was the
rst democratic election
unmarred by widespread
irregularities and allega-
tions of rigging. Theres
no doubt it was a free
election, said Fahmy.
But what percentage of
Egyptian people went to
the ballots?
Fahmy, incidentally,
supports the free-
dom to demon-
strate. But he said
demonst rat i ons
are different from
sit-ins, because
the former are dis-
ruptive to society
and can prevent
people from getting the
groceries and medical care
they need to live.
Fahmy believes the
Egyptian people who oust-
ed Morsis predecessor
Hosni Mubarak, Egypts
fourth president who was
in ofce 30 years until the
Arab Spring in 2011
are looking for not justice
and democracy. They are
looking to restore
their dignity.
For centuries,
despotic rulers
dehumanized the
Egyptian people,
Fahmy said. A lack
of housing, infra-
structure, educa-
tion and medical care led
people to seek the removal
of Mubarak. What allowed
the people to succeed was
the armys refusal to inter-
cede and follow Mubaraks
orders to kill the protest-
ers.
Morsi, said Fahmy,
could be a very good
man.
However, he did not
deliver the dignity the
people wanted. For this
reason, they came back
and revolted. And the
revolution will continue,
he said. Revolution can-
not be settled in a week or
a month or a year. Look at
the Civil War in the U.S.
The American Civil War
lasted four years.
But Fahmy believes
there eventually will be
compromise. He is opt-
omistic that part of the
Muslim Brotherhood will
say its time to work with
the other parties so we
can have a government of
national unity.
Retired professor says it would be wise to keep an eye on Egypt

Mahmoud Fahmy warns unrest in Middle
East can impact U.S. in a number of ways
Fahmy
bought $253,715 in
alcohol, excluding beer,
and ranked third in the
county. Two of the next
four entities on the list
are restaurants inside the
casino: Rustic Kitchen
ranked fourth in the
county with $142,225 in
purchases and Bar Louie
is number seventh on the
list with $112,304 spent
on liquor and wine in in
scal year 2013.
The casinos purchases
are used for the liquor
and wine sold or given
out for free on its gam-
ing oor, at its owned
and operated bars such as
Breakers and for events
held in its ballroom.
Six years ago, no casi-
nos ranked in the top 10
in the state when it came
to liquor and wine pur-
chases. But then table
games were legalized in
2010 and casinos started
expanding offerings and
adding amenities.
Over the last 12
months, the top two
and ve of the top 10
liquor buyers in the
state were casinos. Sands
Bethlehem leads the
way with $1.99 million
in purchases; Harrahs
Philadelphia in Chester
was second with $1.16
million; Rivers Casino
in Pittsburgh was fourth
with $1.12 million and
Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs ranked fth at
$1.11 million. Nemacolin
Woodlands in Fayette
County, which has a
resort casino license,
ranked ninth on the list
with $773,656. The rest
of the top 10 is lled with
restaurants and hotels in
Philadelphia.
Thats not surpris-
ing, its simply because
of the volume of people
that come through a
casinos door daily, said
Mike Bean, the president
and general manager at
Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs.
Most casinos are the
largest attractions in
the counties theyre in,
and with the volume of
patrons each day and
the amount of free or
discounted drink deals
offered, the results are
not unexpected. While
the casino has boosted its
beer volumes this sum-
mer with a free beer give-
away for slot and table
game players, the liquor
sales have also seen a
boost as promotions have
brought in more people.
Bean said on an aver-
age weekend day there
are 16,000 people visiting
the casino.
You cant come in here
and leave without at least
two or three drinks,
said Paul Gimble, of
Tunkhannock, who said
he visits Mohegan Sun at
least once a week to play
the slot machines with his
girlfriend. When told how
much liquor or wine the
casino purchased in the
last year about 55,000
bottles even Gimble
was surprised.
Wow, thats a lot of
booze. I hope they recy-
cle, Gimble laughed.
The casino does,
according to Bean.
It also pays the same
taxes on those bottles
that every citizen in the
state does, meaning the
liquor control boards
coffers and the state gen-
eral fund have made out
quite nicely thanks to the
approval and expansion of
casinos in the state. The
casino pays the 18 per-
cent liquor tax, totalling
$200,809 during the last
scal year plus the 6 per-
cent sales tax of $66,936,
totalling $267,745 in
taxes on wine and spirits
over the past scal year.
PLAINS TWP. In
1996, the Woodlands
Inn and Resort ranked
rst in the state when it
came to the purchase of
wine and spirits. But that
was before casinos were
legalized in Pennsylvania,
before chain restaurants
began eyeing the sub-
urbs and before Luzerne
Countys landscape
included an arena that
siphoned away some resi-
dents leisure money.
Today, the 44-year-
old resort is battling for
its liquor license, which
owners say is essential
to its continued opera-
tion, and its slipped out
of the top liquor purchas-
ing position in Luzerne
County. Its now ranked
third and is not in the
top 125 statewide.
Gary Kornfeld, the
CEO of The Woodlands,
said the venue has felt the
sting of additional hotels
and entertainment facili-
ties that have opened in
the past decade, coupled
with the sour economy
thats caused people to
head out less frequently
for fun and spend less
when they do.
While the 2006 open-
ing of the Mohegan Sun
at Pocono Downs Casino
just a mile north on state
Route 315 from his venue
has been the obvious fac-
tor in the huge dip in
liquor sales, he said its a
major though not the
only one.
I started seeing it
trend down before then,
Kornfeld said. I dont
think you can point your
nger at them and say its
all the casinos fault, he
said. But it is very dif-
cult to compete with
people that can give away
drinks for nothing.
The recession and
increased competition
caused people to seek out
the best bang for their
buck and what better
bang for your buck than
not paying for drinks at
all, he said.
Once the casino
opened, area bars and
venues knew thered be
a ripple effect, Kornfeld
said.
We didnt realize it
would happen as quickly
as it did, Kornfeld said.
Even had the casino
opened somewhere else
in the county instead of
within a mile, he said the
impact would have been
felt.
In 1996 The Woodlands
spent $506,907 on wine
and spirits. In 2012 that
total was about half, at
$253,715.
As a businessman,
Kornfeld does not chide
the casino for what its
done to his and other
businesses. Theyre a
competitor and theyre
smart and they do it
well, Kornfeld said of
the casino. Theyre good
with their promotions.
You as a purveyor
have to tighten your belt
and still make a living,
he said, noting that the
Woodlands has focused
more of its business
on food, banquets and
events like weddings and
less on alcohol, which
used to account for about
one-third of the business.
Today, alcohol is about
20 percent, Kornfeld
said.
Weve always been a
chameleon and had the
ability to change our
identity, Kornfeld said.
That evolution wont
stop, though the resorts
Club Evolution may.
The Woodlands is
appealing a decision by
the Pennsylvania Liquor
Control Board not to
renew its liquor license
based on 10 violations
of the liquor code dat-
ing back to 1987 and 47
alleged incidents and
disturbances reported to
Plains Township police.
Six of those 10 violations
are 20 years old or older,
Kornfeld said.
Luzerne County Judge
Richard Hughes is
expected to make a deci-
sion on the appeal later
this year. The Woodlands
can continue to serve
alcohol while the appeal
proceeds.
Kornfeld said losing
the alcohol license means
well be out of business.
As much as the res-
taurant and hotel busi-
ness has held its own,
we cannot exist and pay
the mortgage without
the ability to have those
liquor sales, Kornfeld
said.

Summary: Rain and thunderstorms will rumble across the Southeast and
southern mid-Atlantic today. It'll remain nice in the Northeast while it stays
warm in the Plains. Much of the West will be dry and mostly sunny.
We have lost about 41
officers since 2008 due to
layoffs and people leav-
ing, and the number will
continue to rise as new
vacancies are not filled,
Majikes said.
The union wouldnt
object to additional paid
hours, but Majikes said
he doesnt believe pro-
ductivity will increase
significantly. Wheres
the rationale and analy-
sis? To me, its political
grandstanding. Theyre
trying to appease the
public without input
from the employees,
Majikes said.
Councils strategic
initiatives committee
started looking at hours
as part of an effort to
address across-the-board
inconsistencies in work-
ers pay and benefits and
to provide the admin-
istration with targets
to negotiate into future
union contracts as they
expire.
While other proposed
workforce standards
were tabled for further
review, the committee of
council members present-
ed the proposed switch
to a 37.5-hour work week
to the full council last
week. Council is slated
to discuss the matter
and possibly vote later
this month after solicitor
review.
The 37.5 hours would
not include lunch, and
workers currently work
anywhere from 32.5 to 40
hours depending on the
position and department.
If the standard is
approved, Lawton has
authority to freely
impose the new hours on
most non-union workers,
while the change must
be negotiated with union
employees. However,
Lawton does not con-
trol non-union person-
nel decisions in court
branches or the control-
ler and district attorney
offices.
Lawton faces a mix of
work schedules for non-
union workers. Most in
the courthouse follow a
schedule of 32.5 hours,
but those at the prison
must put in 35. Human
service non-union work-
ers have been at 37.5
hours for years.
The hours of the
remaining 1,200 or so
workers vary because the
county has 10 collective
bargaining agreements.
The court-related
unions bookkeepers and
clerks are at 32.5 hours,
but sheriff deputies in
that same union are paid
to work 35 hours.
Secretaries and other
support staff in court
branches must put in 35
hours.
The rank-and-file resid-
ual unit workers must
clock 32.5 hours except
for employees in road
and bridge and 911, who
work 40 hours.
The union contract for
assistant district attor-
neys/public defenders
makes no mention of the
required hours, other
than a reference that
part-timers must work
at least 1,000 hours per
year.
Union workers in the
following departments
are already at 37.5 hours:
detectives, human ser-
vice branches and the
prison.
Paula Schnelly, who
oversees three county
American Federation
of State, County and
Municipal Employees, or
AFSCME, units in the
county, said her mem-
bers are open to increas-
ing hours for additional
pay, though she shares
Majikes concern about
the staff s ability to sus-
tain further staff cutbacks
after several rounds of
layoffs in recent years.
We dont see an
increase in hours as a
reason to need fewer
employees, Schnelly
said.
One manager, speaking
on the condition of ano-
nymity, also expressed
concerns that the shift
will result in the loss of
newer, lower-paid union
workers to cover the
expense of adding hours
to workers with more
seniority who might or
might not make those
additional hours worth
the investment.
Lawton said conver-
sion to a 37.5-hour work-
week would take time
and likely involve a com-
bination of department
mergers, reorganization
and cross-training to pro-
vide services with fewer
staffers.

Penn State settles frst
abuse claim, lawyer says
By MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG A
man who was sexually
abused by former Penn
State assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky has
become the rst to settle a
civil claim against the uni-
versity, the mans attorney
said Saturday.
The Philadelphia
Inquirer rst reported that
the young man known as
Victim 5, who testied
at Sanduskys criminal
trial last year, settled for
several million dollars.
Attorney Tom Kline
conrmed the deal in an
email to The Associated
Press but did not imme-
diately provide any other
details. The man identi-
ed himself for his testi-
mony, but AP generally
does not identify people
who were victims of sex
crimes.
The paper reported the
deal is the rst of 26 set-
tlements expected soon
among 31 young men who
have pressed claims over
the actions of Sandusky.
The Inquirer said it
had interviewed Kline on
Friday along with Michael
Rozen, one of the lawyers
brought in by Penn State
to resolve the civil claims.
Rozen told the paper
that Victim 5s case
was considered to be
more serious than oth-
ers because his abuse
occurred in August 2001,
months after top school
ofcials were informed by
a graduate assistant that
he saw Sandusky assault-
ing a boy in a team show-
er.

After Tashara Teart and
Christopher Sheperis exchanged
wedding vows on June 21, they joined
hands and jumped over a broom that
had been decorated with lace and
ribbons and placed on the oor at
St. Marys Chuch of the Immaculate
Conception in Wilkes-Barre.
Jumping the broom is a custom
rooted in both African and Celtic
traditions, Tashara said, so it reects
both her heritage and Christophers.
It shows the bride and grooms will-
ingness to jump into a new life as
husband and wife, sweeping away
old problems and old concerns, and
it honors past generations of people
who took that same leap of faith.
Every part of the broom has a
symbolic and spiritual meaning,
the couples friend Shamar Moss
explained to the congregation. The
straws are the family roots, the han-
dle represents the Lord and his bless-
ing, and the bow being the tie of love
that binds the couple together.
Their love has been building for
years, said the Wilkes-Barre couple,
who rst noticed each other when
they were volunteers at a bowling
party sponsored by a group called
Supporting Autism and Families
Everywhere.
Tashara had grown up volunteer-
ing for the cause because her brother,
Tevon, received an autism diagnosis
as a child, and Christopher was there
because of a family friends interest
in the group. My mother always
taught me to give back, he said.
Actually, Tashara said, she and
Christopher had likely attended
many of the same S.A.F.E. events in
the past but they didnt notice each
other until December 2007. She was
the one who suggested the two go
out for dinner, and they did, choos-
ing the Lone Star Steakhouse. Every
January since, theyve returned to
the restaurant to celebrate the anni-
versary of that rst date.
The better they got to know each
other, the more they felt destiny at
work.
I think Tashara is everything
a good person should be, said
Christopher, who recently turned
29. Shes caring. Shes always got a
smile on her face. I thank God every
day that Ive been blessed with some-
one I dont really deserve.

NEW YoRK An awk-
ward blind date has the poten-
tial for great comedy as
long as its not happening to
you. In an alternate world,
such a date might unfold amid
a series of snappy musical
numbers with irreverent lyr-
ics. As the clumsy encounter
unfolded, maybe the couples
inner baggage would even
surround them with song and
dance.
Thats the entertaining idea
behind the sassy new musi-
cal comedy, First Date. The
overall tone is satiric, but
theres a sneakily persistent
undercurrent of optimism in
the fun, fast-paced produc-
tion that has opened at the
Longacre Theatre.
Handsome Zachary Levi
(of Tvs Chuck) dons dorky
glasses as nervous, nerdy,
blind-date newbie Aaron.
Krysta Rodriguez (The
Addams Family and Tvs
Smash) is world-weary and
edgy as hip, jaded Casey, a
sophisticated veteran of the
dating wars.
After a cynical opening
number about how difcult
it is to nd The one, which
includes daters laments like,
Where the hells the fairy
tale!, the duo meet up in a
restaurant. Hes earnest and
bumbling; shes suspicious
and off-putting, giving him
dating tips and judging his
every move.
Their tentative conversa-
tion is soon interrupted with
well-choreographed antics,
performed by an ensemble of
ve energetic actors in mul-
tiple roles, as the seemingly
mismatched couples inner
thoughts are enacted around
them.
A bevy of imaginary char-
acters muddy the already-
choppy waters, including dis-
approving relatives and inap-
propriate exes.
The book by Gossip Girl
writer Austin Winsberg pro-
vides the couple with plenty
of ippant repartee. A madcap
mashup of musical styles and
lyrics blazing with one-liners
are provided by Alan Zachary
and Michael Weiner.
Director Bill Berry keeps a
steady pace amid the dynam-
ic musical staging by Josh
Rhodes.
Makinghis Broadway debut,
Levi has a strong leading-
man presence, smooth in his
dance moves while handling
Aarons nervous gaffes with
comedic air. Aarons baggage
includes a womanizing best
friend, Gabe (a sly, hipsterish
Bryce Ryness), and a selsh,
unstable ex-girlfriend, Allison
(played with sultry aloofness
by Kate Loprest).
Levi knocks it out of the
park with his mesmerizing
solo, In Love With You, a
get-it-off-your-chest, often
misogynistic number bursting
with invective against Allison.
Rodriguez is polished
and cool, gradually showing
underlying vulnerability as
Casey unbends a little. Casey
interacts in her head with her
still-alluring, bad-boy ex-boy-
friends and her know-it-all big
sister Lauren (Sara Chase),
among others. Performing
Safer, Caseys lovely lament
wondering why she cant nd
the right guy, Rodriguez deliv-
ers with emotion and class.
one of the funnier bits is
a fevered performance by
Kristoffer Cusick as Caseys
best friend Reggie. He calls
her several times to offer
variations of The Bailout
Song, so she can get out of
the date if necessary with an
excuse. Blake Hammond is
quite entertaining in a variety
of roles, primarily as a waiter
who encourages the daters
toward success.
While many of the songs
are harmlessly humorous, a
religion-themed number, The
Girl For You, veers toward
simplistically offensive, as
Jewish stereotypes clash with
Roman Catholic ones (Aarons
Jewish, Casey is not). Aaron
brings up the subject of a trea-
sured letter from his deceased
mother (played by Chase)
which seems oddly downbeat
for a date but leads into a poi-
gnant duet between Chase
and Levi about a mothers
love and regrets, called The
Things I Never Said.
Something That Will Last
is Casey and Aarons nal
duet, about the uncertainties
of falling in love. Never mind
love, will they even make it
to a second date? The point
is that after just 90 minutes
with this mismatched couple
and their comical parade of
demanding advisers, we still
care how it turns out.
First Date is rousing,
madcap fun on Broadway

SHI SHI BEACH, Wash.
First theres a drive through
windy seaside and tree-lined
roads. Then theres a peek at the
farthest northwest point in the
lower 48 states. Finally, after
a 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) hike
along a wilderness trail with a
descent down a 150-foot (46-
meter) bluff, the reward is one
of the most pristine spots on the
coastline of olympic National
Park: Shi Shi Beach.
Curved conifers stand behind
the beach as a testament to wind
power. Deer wander down the
bluffs to nip at leaves. Eagles
perch atop bare pine trees.
Driftwood washed ashore by
Pacic waves lines the sand
banks. In all, the 2.3-mile
(3.7-kilometer) beach located
at the northern end is an unpol-
ished gem, far less visited than
other park beaches with easier
access.
I like it because you see the
expanse and you can be alone,
said Tom Ammann, whos been
hiking this coastal area for eight
years, mostly in winter and fall.
I think thats one of the nicer
places on the planet, actually.
Farther along the beach, one of
Shi Shis most striking features
is Point of Archers, a collection
of rock formations known as sea
stacks standing tall above the
surf. Natural arches and caves
decorate this part of the coast
and provide exploring grounds
for sea creatures once low tide
comes in. Ambitious hikers can
continue down the coastline,
either on the beach or through
the forest using marked trails.
We go out there in that soli-
tude with open space, Ammann
said. You just sit there and you
look something thats kind of
lost in this culture.
But while your cell phone
wont work here, the modern

does nd him deserving,
Tashara, 26, said, I cant
imagine a day without him.
Ultimately, you want to be
with someone whos your
best friend.
The couple cheered each
other on while they nished
their schooling. Tashara,
a Coughlin grad, worked
on her bachelors degree
in elementary and special
education at Misericordia
University, followedbyamas-
ters degree at Bloomsburg
University. Christopher, a
Meyers alum, earned a bach-
elors degree in business
administration from Kings
College andenrolledinRCIA
(Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults) at church, to pre-
pare for receiving Catholic
sacraments.
I was so proud of him.
He was the only one in the
class, but he persevered,
Tashara said. He did all his
homework.
Sharing their faith is
important to the couple,
who attended Mass togeth-
er before Christopher pro-
posed on Christmas Eve
2012.
While he works as a legis-
lative aide to state Sen. John
T. Yudichak, Tashara is a
special-education teacher at
Daniel J. Flood Elementary
School in Wilkes-Barre. As a
teacher, she considers sum-
mer the best time for a wed-
ding, and the couple did get
married on the rst full day
of that season.
On the wedding day,
Tasharas shih-tzu, Brady,
seemed determined to be
part of things. As the bride
was about to get into a wait-
ing limo, she noticed the
little dog had run outside
and the door to the house
was already locked. The
neighbors couldnt help;
they were already at the
church. So Brady sat next
to the limo driver and rode
along to St. Marys, where
the driver got a set of house
keys from Tasharas father
and took Brady home.
Before the ceremony, a
group of Tasharas friends,
dressed in white robes with
blue sashes, performed a
liturgical dance. Guests
lled the pews on both sides
of the aisle, following the
directions on a sign Tashara
had made that said Please
choose a seat, not a side.
Today two families become
one.
Instead of bridesmaids
and ushers, the couple invit-
ed family members into the
wedding procession, includ-
ing parents of the bride,
Denise and Dolphus Teart
of Wilkes-Barre, mother
of the groom, Rosemary
Sheperis of Nanticoke; sister
of the bride Tiffany Teart,
brothers of the bride Tevon
Teart and Patrick Stokes
and brothers of the groom
Brandon Sheperis of Texas
and Andrew Sheperis of
Wilkes-Barre. Principal wit-
nesses were Amber Fiorelli
of Chicago and Brian Carey
of Myrtle Beach, and neph-
ew Cody Sheperis, 4, car-
ried the rings.
In addition to the tradi-
tional vows, Christopher
added some promises he
had written, among them:
I promise to listen without
interrupting, answer with-
out arguing, share without
pretending and trust with-
out sparing. Most of all, Ill
remember to promise with-
out forgetting.
During the reception for
Vows
From page 1B
120 guests at A Touch of
Class, the groom surprised
his friends by dancing a
tango. That was Tasharas
idea; she loves dancing and
is a part-time teacher at
the Harris Conservatory in
Luzerne, where Sean Harris
choreographed the special
steps, including a dip, for the
couple.
I cant believe I convinced
him to do that, she said
with a grin, but now hes
happy I did.
I cant say Im happy
about it, Christopher pro-
tested. Im just an average
guy.
He may say that, but as
the average guy and his
dancing wife begin married
life together, theyre both
beaming with happiness.

Papers of the past nowgetting preserved for the future
The ongoing digitizing of
the areas weekly newspa-
pers bya local organizationis
good news for genealogists.
These papers can potentially
ll in gaps for genealogists
who cant nd what theyre
looking for in local dailies.
Heres a roundup.
This summer, the
Northeast Pennsylvania
Genealogical Society has
been digitizing The West

tury. The independently
owned paper published its
nal edition in February,
1998.
Also being digitized is the

Originally called The
Wyoming Observer, it began
as a Sunday
paper for the
Wy o m i n g
area, mean-
ing the upper
West Side
of Wyoming
Valley, in
1967. By the
late 1970s it
had broad-
ened its cov-
erage to the
whole Wilkes-
Barre area.
Where will preserved
copies be available? The
Genealogical Societys
policy is to keep a copy of
any publication it digitizes,
giving another copy to the
owner of the publication.
To inquire about member-
ship in the society, contact
the group by email at nep-
gsmail@gmail.com. The
societys research library is
in the caretakers house on
the grounds of the Hanover
Green Cemetery, Main
Road, Hanover Township.

Kathleen Smith, DAR
genealogy consultant, will

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It
is possible to spend hours
with your loved ones with-
out doing anything that
would fall, technically, into
the category of construc-
tive. And this is perhaps
the most valuable thing
you could do together
today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
As your family and friends
tug you in multiple direc-
tions, you shift quickly
from one mood to another.
As Shakespeare said, alls
well that ends well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Yours is an emotional
world now, your sensations
informing you all the way.
Demonstrative and physi-
cally affectionate people
will connect with you when
more reserved folks cant
get through.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Smart and funny usually
happens within the same
person. Seek companion-
ship with those who make
you laugh, and youll
find that these types will
inform some of your
more serious decisions, as
well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
can fix whatever you focus
on. So dont focus on silly
things that dont matter.
Focus on the big parts, the
parts that will affect many
if they change, or dont
change which is likely all
up to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your desire will go before
your practical concerns,
which will turn the day
inside out. The order of
events will proceed in
an incongruent manner,
but all priorities will be
addressed one way or
another.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Gossip and intrigue will
appeal to you. So what if
the human interest and
lifestyles features are
more involving to you than
weightier issues? You care
about people, and thats
why youre interested in
their stories.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You are complex and
mysterious. You may get
the feeling that no one
really knows you. Its not
true, but there is certainly
enough evidence for you
to believe it anyway
today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youre optimistic
hopefully not overly so.
Try not to read the good
signs without paying
attention to the context of
the entire situation. Weigh
the pros against the cons.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll create a picture
in the minds of others.
Your description is like an
impressionistic painting,
hitting all the main colors
and keeping it all pretty.
What about the facts?
Well, you might find them
overrated in todays con-
text.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When all eyes are on you,
youll rise to the occasion.
Clothes, style and fash-
ion are part of the focus.
Tonight brings your quick
involvement in someone
elses life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You will experience life
vividly and expansively.
Your rich imagination will
open like a cave of shim-
mering jewels. It is a rare
and beautiful discovery,
but the treasure always
existed within you.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug.
18). The next five weeks
require that you ask for
exactly what you want.
With your best foot for-
ward, your world starts to
shape up to your specifica-
tions. A friendly gesture
ignites romance
in September. Family will
give you something to
brag about in October.
January and June bring
financial bonuses. Aries
and Sagittarius people
adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 30, 1, 23, 18
and 40.
EXTRA! EXTRA!

CA 90069

DEAR ABBY
Bad habits threaten to
outweigh good qualities
Dear Abby:
My chil-
drens nanny,
Daisy, has
been with us
for more than
two years.
Shes not the best, but I
know I could do a lot worse.
The most important thing is
my children adore her and
she is used to our routine.
By and large, Im happy to
have her. However, I have
two pet peeves I dont know
how to address.
Daisy is always late. Not
by much, mind you but it
is consistent. Shes at least
five minutes late every single
day. Maybe it shouldnt
bother me so much, but it
does. I never dock her pay
for tardiness, and I always
pay her on time.
To me, its a reflection
of how important she views
her job. I feel it is disrespect-
ful. The kicker is, Daisy
is studying to be a nurse.
I have told her unless she
breaks this bad habit, shell
be fired from a future nurs-
ing job.
The second thing is, on
hot, humid days, Daisy has
the worst body odor imagin-
able. When the weather is
cool, she doesnt smell, but
once sticky weather arrives,
the wall of stench is enough
to make my nose hairs curl.
One day it made me physi-
cally ill and I had to excuse
her for the day without ex-
plaining why.
How should I address
these problems? Or am I
making too big a deal out of
this?
Having Issues in
Virginia
Dear Having Issues: Daisy
may not be the best em-
ployee, but a good employer
makes clear what the
ground rules are when
someone is hired. Because
youre a stickler for punc-
tuality, remind Daisy about
what her hours are and
stress that you expect her
to be on time or risk having
her pay docked. (If she uses
public transportation, there
should be some flexibility,
but because shes late every
day she should be told she
needs to leave home a few
minutes earlier.)
As to her personal hy-
giene issue, address it di-
rectly. Tell her you expect
her to have showered, used
deodorant and put on fresh
clothes before coming to
work especially in the
summer.
Helpful hint: When you
hire someone, have a list
of written rules prepared
for the individual to read
and sign so there will be no
misunderstandings. Doing
that is being an effective
boss.
Dear Abby: I am going to
a concert by a popular
band. My brother and my
cousin always make fun of
this band. People comment-
ing online also post mean
things about them. I know
they have a right to their
own opinions, but I dont
get the same reactions
when I talk about or listen
to other popular music.
Did people do this 10 or
20 years ago? Do they think
its cool to express hatred
about mainstream musi-
cians? Maybe the more
popular something is, the
more people there are hav-
ing negative feelings to-
ward it.
Free to Listen at 13
Dear Free To Listen: There
is always a degree of back-
lash against hugely popular
entertainers because some
people think its more cool
to be a fan of a new, upcom-
ing band. Years ago, some
people loved the Beatles and
hated the Rolling Stones,
and vice versa. The behavior
you describe has been going
on ever since the music busi-
ness began.

becoming a better conversa-
tionalist and a more sociable
person, order How to Be
Popular. Send your name

A couple walks down Shi Shi Beach in Washington states Olympic National Park. One of the most
pristine beaches in Washington state, Shi Shi provides blissful disconnect to hikers and campers at
the beach.
IF YOU GO
SHI SHI BEACH: Located 8.5 miles (13.6 kilo-
meters) south of Neah Bay, Wash., about 4.5 hours
northwest of Seattle
GETTING THERE: Shi Shi beach is reached
via Highway 112, which snakes along Washingtons
northwest border on the Olympic Peninsula and the
Strait of Juan De Fuca across from Canada. Visitors
must drive through the Makah Indian Reservation
to get to Shi Shi, and overnight parking is available
only at private lots on the reservation for about $10.
Visitors also must purchase a pass from the tribe, $10
per vehicle, available at several locations in Neah Bay,
including the reservation museum and mini mart. A
$5 per person National Parks pass also must be pur-
chased, and for overnight stays, posted on tents.
BEAR CANISTERS: These portable, animal-
resistant food storage containers can be borrowed
from the parks Wilderness Information Center and
some ranger stations, with a suggested $3 donation,
or purchased at stores that sell camping supplies.
world intrudes in other
ways. The beach is sprin-
kled with debris washed up
by ocean currents includ-
ing items you dont nor-
mally nd in everyday litter,
such as drums, child-sized
blocks of Styrofoam, ropes
and boots. Some of it comes
across the Pacic from Asia,
including debris from the
Japanese tsunami, which
park spokeswoman Rainey
McKenna said is expected
to continue to wash up for a
number of years.
Camping is allowed on
the beach, along with camp-
res as long as driftwood is
used to build the re. Park
rules require that all food
and garbage be stored in
bear-proof canisters, though
a park ranger said the most
commonly seen animals
are raccoons and skunks.
Indeed, on our second
night, a skunk was attracted
to the smell of our roasting
salami, scuttling about the
campsite before disappear-
ing back into the brush.
All supplies must be car-
ried in you wont nd
concessions here and
all garbage must be carried
out. There are three pit toi-
lets behind the beach but
they dont provide much
privacy.
Shi Shi (pronounced
shy shy) was one of the
last additions to Olympic
National Park in 1976.
Public access to the beach
was created only after a
protracted struggle involv-
ing developers, land own-
ers and squatters, accord-
ing to the Washington
Trails Association. And the
trail to the beach can only
Shi Shi
From page 1B
be reached after driving
through the Makah Indian
Reservation, which visi-
tors must pay to enter, and
where they must also pay
to park their cars. Shi Shi
is a Makah term for surf or
smelt beach a reference
to the small silvery sh that
are still found on the coast.
The only thing grander
than Shi Shis natural beauty
is its resilience in the face of
forces that would have pro-
hibited us from enjoying
and admiring this national
treasure, a guide from the
trails association states.
While natural beauty is
the main reason to come
here, Shi Shi does offer
other attractions. The waves
are big enough to draw wet-
suit-clad surfers. A few kids
swam freely in the waves
despite water temperatures
that are typically in the low
50s in summer, while young
campers climbed a bluff
after playing Frisbee.
On the weekend I visited,
the fog disappeared early
afternoon and gave way to
searing sunshine. It got so
hot it felt like I was on some
tropical beach, instead of
just a few hours from home
and blissfully disconnected.

PITTSTON Matt Flynn and
Caitlin Gaughan upped their perfor-
mances from last year and scored vic-
tories in the Pittston Tomato Festival
5K Run on Saturday.
Flynn, who nished second to Jeff
McCabe last year, turned things around
this year, winning in 16 minutes, 32
seconds. McCabe nished second, 25
seconds behind. Mike Havrilla, 16, of
Pittston, nished third in 17:42.
I surged into the lead at about
the halfway point of the race, said
Flynn, 27, of Media and formerly from
Pittston. Once I moved in front, I
tried really hard to maintain somewhat
of a lead over Jeff because I know hes
a really good runner. And I didnt want
to get into a kicking contest with him
down the home stretch of the race.
Flynns strategy worked.
Gaughan used her usual strategy to
score her win.
Gaughan, who nished third last
year behind the winner Alexandria
Plant and second-place nisher Deedra
Porrio, won top female honors in
19:27. Porrio, 36, of West Pittston,
took second again, nishing 28 sec-
onds behind. Tara Johnson, a promis-
ing 15-year-old from Avoca, nished
third, three seconds behind Porrio.
I always start out a race at the
back of the pack, said Gaughan, 27,
of Scranton. I feel its better for me
to gradually pick up the pace through-
out the race. I passed the front run-
ning female around mile 2. After that,
I received encouragement from a guy
who was running near me. He just
told me to stay relaxed. I pushed it to
the nish.

Kansas City shortstop Miguel Tejada was suspended for 105 games for testing
positive for amphetamines, the MLB announced in a statement Saturday. Its
far from the first time Tejadas name has come up in controversy.
DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
scourge of drugs and baseball
claimed its third former MVP
in a month when Miguel Tejada
was suspended Saturday for
105 games after testing posi-
tive for an amphetamine.
The Kansas City Royals
inelder drew one of the lon-
gest penalties handed down
by Major League Baseball. His
ban came after Yankees slugger
Alex Rodriguez was suspended
for 211 games and Brewers star
Ryan Braun got a 65-game pen-
alty that will keep him off the
eld for the rest of the season.
All three stars have been
dogged by doping allegations
in the past.
A person familiar with the
situation told The Associated
Press that Tejada tested posi-
tive for Adderall, a substance
the 39-year-old has used
to treat Attention Decit
Disorder. The person spoke
to the AP on condition of ano-
nymity because those details
were not made public.
I apologize to my team-
mates, the Royals organiza-
tion and to the Kansas City
fans, Tejada said in a state-
ment released by the players
association. I have a medi-
cal condition that requires
medication to treat. I took
that medication while re-
applying for a Therapeutic
Use Exemption. Under the
requirements of the Joint
Drug Program, I made a mis-
take in doing so.
MLBs medical staff grants
therapeutic-use exemptions
that allow players to use
drugs such as Adderall to
treat ADD. But the substance
has become a popular perfor-
mance-enhancer, accounting
for 10 of the 11 positive stimu-
lant tests in the major league
program in the year ending
with the 2012 World Series,
according to the annual report
of the Independent Program
Administrator.
The report, which was
released in November, said
that medication for ADD
accounted for 116 of 119
therapeutic-use exemptions
granted by Major League
Baseball.

for 19 hits through nine innings
Saturday night at PNC Field.
But both squads had problems
getting the big hit as the game
was tied at 3-3 headed into extra
innings at press time.
The RailRiders took advan-
tage of the wildness of IronPigs
reliever Phillippe Aumont to tie
the game at 3-3 in the bottom
of the eighth. Melky Mesa, who
played a part in all three runs the
RailRiders scored, led off getting
hit by a pitch from Aumont. Dan
Johnson followed with a walk and
Randy Ruiz then singled to score
Mesa, who also had a pair of RBI.
Without getting a hit out of the
ineld the IronPigs took a 3-2 lead
in the top of the seventh against
SWB reliever Sam Demel with a
pair of ineld singles, a walk and
a hit batter.
Graham Stoneburner, making
his rst start for the RailRiders
since June 29, pitched well in the
four innings he tossed. Not being
stretched out having spent the last
month and a half with Double-A
Trenton getting 10 appearances
and just one start, Stoneburner
allowed two runs on ve hits. He
showed good command with his
pitches throwing 41 of his 62 for
strikes and didnt walk any.
Situational hitting helped the
RailRiders take a lead in the bot-
tom of the third. After Brendan
Harris and Adonis Garcia each
singled with one out, J.R. Murphy
hit a deep y out to center. The
veteran Harris used his good bas-
erunning instincts to advance to
third on the out. He then scored
when Mesa beat out a grounder
for an ineld single to put the
home team ahead 1-0.
The lead was short-lived
though. Lehigh Valley plated
a pair of runs in the top of the
fourth as the rst three batters
reached base. Steve Susdorf led
off with a double then scored on
RailRiders, IronPigs cant get big hit

CRAIN GAME
Our weekly look at the work of RailRiders
president Rob Crain, who has given us back our
baseball with a side order of promotions and
entertainment.
BEST OFTHE WEEK: Its hard to argue that
almost halfway to St. Patricks Day wasnt the top
promotion of the last seven days. Especially when
a leprechaun was sprinting all over PNCField and
wreaking havoc. The promotion also brought some
luck to the RailRiders as they rebounded froma
tough loss the night before to pull out a victory.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: It was ftting that last
week Pittston community night was held at PNC
Field on the week the annual Pittston Tomato
Festival is being celebrated. But there were some
things missing.
The festival always gives us many reasons to
make the trek to downtown Pittston. Afterall,
thats where Derek Jeter hung out on his of day
while in town. Such promotions like a tomato fght
and a tomato queen are part of the festivities.
There was a perfect opportunity to combine
tomatoes with the top afliate of the NewYork
Yankees. Maybe some of the famous pictures of
Jeter walking through downtown couldve been
made into cutouts.
Could you also imagine a game where fans get to
have a tomato fght in the stands? Or maybe they
couldve be given soft toy tomatoes as a giveaway.
But hey, at least this year we actually had a Pittston
Community Night. During other seasons, we were
lucky to have just a simple community night.
COMING UP: Theres a fve games this week
ans its loaded with promotions at PNC Field.
Thursday is one of the best of the season with
Football Night, which was rescheduled after the
game was postponed last month. Just so happens
that the theme falls on a Thirsty Thursday where
beer and Pepsi products are just $1 from6-8 p.m.
If youre a parent, who is counting the days until
the kids go back to school which may be less
than week in some cases then Saturday is the
perfect game because its Back to School night
and reading is celebrated. If you havent got all
your back to school shopping done, theres a
lunch box giveaway on Saturday as well. Lunches
most likely are not included.
THE WEEK AHEAD
RAILRIDERS EXTRA
Just 17 games remained in the 2013 season for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders entering
Saturday. That means the teammust win 11 of
those fnal contests to avoid fnishing with a
.500 record or worse for the frst time since the
franchise became a Yankees afliate in 2007.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last fnished with a losing
record in 2005 as the Red Barons.
So it could be good or bad that the RailRiders
will see just three more teams the rest of the
way with seven apiece against Lehigh Valley
and Pawtucket to go with a two-game set vs.
Rochester to close out the campaign.
Either way, the teamhas a chance to play spoiler
as all of its remaining games are against those
fghting for a playof berth.
Lehigh Valley IronPigs
In the next 16 days the RailRiders will see more
than enough of their closest rival, playing
the IronPigs seven more times including this
afternoons contest at PNC Field.
After todays game, the teams head to Coca-Cola
Park in Allentown for two more games of the
home-and-home series. They meet again with
another similar series Aug. 28-31 to close out the
season series.
This brings us totheIronRail Series, whichwas just
implementedright beforethefrst gamewas played
this seasonbetweentheclubs. Thewinner of the
16-gameseries pittingthetwoclaims thenewly
madetrophyfor awholeyear. Other perks goingwith
thebet is that thelosingteams general manager
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres RobCrainor LehighValleys
Kurt Landes will havetodress upinafat ladysuit
andsingafter games playedinnext years series.
Entering Saturday nights game at PNCField, the
IronPigs held a 5-3 advantage in the IronRail series.
The IronPigs began Saturday with a 65-62
record and just 2.5 games out of the Wild Card
and 3.5 out of the I.L. North Division lead. They
have been supplying Philadelphia with several
players throughout the season but still consist
of key players who have seen Major League time
in infelder Freddy Galvis and outfelder Cesar
Hernandez. Former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankee pitcher Greg Smith leads the rotation.
He just pitched on Friday, so he wont get to see
his former franchise this week. But he could see
themnext week.
Pawtucket Red Sox
Once the brief two-game set inAllentown concludes
onTuesday, the RailRiders are back home the rest of
the week to host archrival Pawtucket in a matchup
between theTriple-Aafliates of the two fercest
rivals in Major League Baseball.
The Red Sox invade PNC feld for the frst time
since the frst four games of the season when
they ruined the opening week festivities by
sweeping the RailRiders and outscoring SWB
30-12 in those four games.
Once the four games in Moosic conclude on
Saturday, both squads immediately head to Rhode
Island for three to conclude the season series.
The last time they played at Pawtucket, it was an
unconventional fve-game series in late June/early
July with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre claiming three
wins and scoring 27 runs in those three victories.
The season currently stands in Pawtuckets favor
with six wins in the nine games. But that can turn
around in a hurry, especially with seven straight
games.
The PawSox, the defending Governors Cup
champions, consist of some of the top prospects
in the organization including Xander Bogaerts
and Jackie Bradley Jr. They began Saturday just
1 game out of the I.L. North Division Lead behind
Rochester and one game ahead of Norfolk for the
Wild Card spot.
Rochester Red Wings
The Red Wings are currently leading the North
Division by one game over Pawtucket, 2.5 over
Bufalo, 3.5 over Lehigh Valley and 7.5 over
the RailRiders as they hope to claimtheir frst
division title since 1997.
Its not until the fnal two games of the season
when the RailRiders and Red Wings meet, on
Sept. 1-2. So theres likely to be changes to both
rosters with September call-ups. Either way, the
fnal two games will almost surely have playof
implications. And if the RailRiders arent battling
at that point, they will be looking to play spoiler.
In the 14 games played this season between the
clubs, the RailRiders have won eight and have
already secured a non-losing series against their
divisional foe.

DAVE ROSENGRANT
Caleb Cotham began
the 2013 season pitching
for the Trenton Thunder
getting off to a strong
start through the rst
two months of the season,
allowing one run or less in
four of his six outings to
earn a promotion to the
RailRiders.
The right-hander strug-
gled early with Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre allowing
30 runs in his rst 32
Triple-A innings entering
his outing on June 23 with
an ERA of 6.75.
But since then, the
25-year-old has seen his
earned run average drop
in every appearance turn-
ing Cotham into perhaps
the most consistent start-
er in the RailRiders rota-
tion. He has given up two
runs or less in six of his
last seven appearances,
which includes four starts.
I think hes trusting
his stuff more, Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre catcher J.R.
Murphy said. He knows he
belongs here. Thats a big
part. Hes starting to learn
that and hes seeing a lot of
results because of that.
In a season when the
team has struggled on the
eld in putting up wins
and is headed for the fran-
chises rst losing season
as a Yankee afliate and
for the rst time since
its moniker was the Red
Barons in 2005, Cotham
has been a bright spot for
the RailRiders.
But hes not the only
reason the Yankees organi-
zation is optimistic about
the prospects at their top
afliate.
The Melk Man Returns
Melky Mesa has shown
Yankee brass time after
time that he will do just
about anything to help
win a game whether in
Triple-A or the Major
Leagues.
But it didnt start
that way. After Mesa
hit the rst home run in
RailRiders history, he kept
being productive when
he made contact. He just
had to make contact as he
got off to a terrible start
with strikeouts, getting
punched out nearly 100
times before hitting the
disabled list in mid-June.
The reason he was
placed on the D.L. was
crashing into the wall in
centereld at PNC Field
making a catch. He hurt
his shoulder on the play,
but hit a home run the
next inning before being
pulled.
Since being activated,
hes been on re earning a
promotion to the Yankees
where he went 5 for 13
(.385) in limited action
and also made a highlight
reel catch that made the
SportsCenter Top 10.
Mesa has continued
to hit since rejoining the
RailRiders hitting at a .348
clip in August raising his
season average 20 points.
Another strong backstop
Murphy was called up
to Triple-A on June 13 and
has been solid defensively
and offensively.
While the Yankees are
currently going the pla-
toon duo of Austin Romine
and Chris Stewart,
Murphy has made a case
to show he deserves to
be a September call-up.
Murphy, 22, works well
with the pitching staff and
he entered Friday batting
.274 with four home runs.
He recently was in an 0 for
14 slump and broke out
with six hits in his next 14
at bats.
Cotham has become one of the SWBs dependable starters
NOTEBOOK
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
RailRiders pitcher Caleb Cotham has turned things around the
RailRiders after a rough start to his Triple-A career.
DAVE ROSENGRANT
Entering todays game
with a sub .500 record, its
evident that the inaugural
season for the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
didnt pan out as expect-
ed.
From dozens of roster
moves to some players not
reaching expectations, not
much went right during
the 2013 season.
But there are many
bright spots going for-
ward for the team and for
the entire New York orga-
nization.
One of those is the per-
formance of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre bullpen. The
eight pitchers who make
up the relieving core have
been strong throughout
the season. In the second
half of the season, the
group has been phenom-
enal putting up stats that
were perhaps the best in
the International League
from mid-June until today.
Its been huge, start-
ing pitcher Brett Marshall
said. Especially because
of how much its changed.
We lost guys up and down
and weve had so many dif-
ferent pitchers this year its
hard to stay (consistent).
Mid-June is right about
the time big right-hander
Dellin Betances started
to get in a groove as a
key piece in the bullpen
for manager Dave Miley.
In fact Betances hasnt
allowed a run in the minors
in more than two months
spanning 30 innings and
17 appearances. He had
a brief stay in New York
when he pitched 2-3 of an
inning allowing four runs
last week when he stint
began during a rainstorm
and he had to go back out
after a brief rain delay.
Coincidentally, lefty
Mike Zagurski was in the
bullpen at that time as
well and was part of the
big turnaround. He joined
the team and June 21 and
has made 20 appearances
only giving up a run in
six of those before exer-
cising an opt-out clause
in his contract and being
granted his release last
week. But he left quite an
impression.
Zagurski changed the
way our bullpen was,
said right-hander Chase
Whitley, who has appeared
in 26 games, including two
starts for SWB. We start-
ed having a lot more fun.
We were more laid back,
just chillin and when it
was our turn to pitch we
turned it on. And to me
that changed my mental-
ity. I think most of the
guys were too serious. It
was too many people were
pressing. We were loose
down there, just having
fun and that turned over to
playing well on the eld.
Whitley, who was draft-
ed in 2010 by the Yankees,
is one of the youngsters in
the bullpen at age 24. He
joined the club on May
18 after opening the sea-
son on the disabled list
and joined proven Major
League or minor league
veterans. Jim Miller is a
veteran who has had great
success this season. After
allowing nine runs in his
rst two innings pitched
this season, the 31-year-
old who has spent time
in the big leagues in the
past with Colorado and
Oakland, has been excep-
tional. In his last 55 2-3
innings, hes posted a
2.10 ERA allowing just 13
earned run. For the sea-
son, he has an astronomi-
cal strikeout rate of 13.1
per nine innings.
Although hes right-hand-
ed, hes had tremendous
success against left-handers
as well, which could lead
him to landing a spot in the
Majors once again. Miller
entered Saturday holding
left-handed hitters to a .146
batting average.
Im able to pitch in
more to them than I am
righties. I just pound them
in with heaters and throw
a breaking ball once in a
while, Miller said. My
thought is if they can turn
it around and keep it fair
I will tip my hat to them.
But I dont want to give
them anything out over
the plate they can ip.
To nd more great num-
bers in the bullpen you
dont have to look far.
Right-hander Matt Daley
has a 1.61 ERA with 35
strikeouts in 28 innings.
Yoshinori Tateyama, who
arrived in Moosic the
same day as Zagurski, is
excelling as well with a
2.10 ERA, allowing just
three walks in 30 innings.
Then theres Sam Demel,
another veteran who has
Major League experience
with Arizona and has
been phenomenal all sea-
son with a 1.50 ERA, only
three home runs allowed
and just 17 walks in 42
innings. And thats not
mentioning his superb stat
of stranding 14 of 19 inher-
ited runners.
In fact, entering Friday
night, the current reliev-
ers have combined to
strand 45 of 64 inherited
runners on base for the
season.
As a bullpen guy we
take pride in that, being
able to come in and pick
up somebody and not let
their runs cross because
you want those guys to
have the same feeling
if you happen to strand
some runners out there,
Miller said. You take
pride in that and a lot of
times teams will look at
that more than they look at
your ERA like hey whats
he do when he comes in
in a situation theres run-
ners on. All of us, we take
pride in not cashing in
other guys runs.
David Herndon, who
was formerly in the Phillies
organization and saw sig-
nicant time in their bull-
pen, joined the RailRiders
last week pitching 1 1-3
scoreless innings.
RailRiders boast a bullish pen
Pete G. Wilcox File Photo | The Times Leader
Dellin Betances has been a dominant reliever for the RailRiders and is a key cog in the bullpen, which
has been one of the best in the International League of late.

1915 Boston opened Braves Field with a 3-1
victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
1956 The Cincinnati Reds hit eight home
runs and the Milwaukee Braves added two to
set a National League record for home runs by
two clubs in a nine-inning night game. Bob Thur-
mans three homers and double led the Reds in
the 13-4 rout.
1960 LewBurdette of the Milwaukee Braves
pitched a no-hitter, beating the Philadelphia Phil-
lies 1-0. Burdette faced the minimum 27 batters.
Tony Gonzalez reachedfrst inthe ffthafter being
hit by a pitch and was wiped out in a double play.
1965 Hank Aaron of Milwaukee hit Curt Sim-
mons pitch on top of the pavilion roof at Sports-
mans Park in St. Louis for an apparent home run.
However, umpire Chris Pelekoudas called himout
for being out of the batters box when he connect-
ed. Nevertheless, the Braves won the game 5-3.
1967 Californias Jack Hamilton hit Tony
Conigliaro on his left cheekbone with a fastball
in the fourth inning of a 3-2 loss to Boston. Coni-
gliaro was carried unconscious fromthe feld and
missed the remainder of the 1967 season and the
entire 1968 season. The 22-year-old already had
more than 100 home runs to his credit.
1982 The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the
Chicago Cubs 2-1 in a 21-inning game played over
two days. It was the second longest game in Cubs
history.
1982 Pete Rose of the Philadelphia Phillies
made his 13,941st plate appearance in a 5-3 tri-
umph over the Houston Astros to move into frst
place on the career list ahead of Hank Aaron.
1995 TomHenke became the seventh pitch-
er to reach 300 career saves, surviving a rally by
the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning of the St.
Louis Cardinals 4-3 victory.
2000Darin Erstad of Anaheimmade a spec-
tacular, game-saving catch in the 10th inning and
followed it with a homer in the 11th as the Angels
defeated the NewYork Yankees 9-8.
2006 Alfonso Soriano became the third
player inmajor league history tohave at least four
seasons of 30 homers and 30 stolen bases, and
the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia
Phillies 6-4.
2006 Jered Weaver joined Whitey Ford as
the only rookies in AL history to win their frst
nine decisions, holding Seattle to three singles
over seven innings in the Los Angeles Angels 3-0
victory. Weaver is just the ffth pitcher in major
league history to begin his career 9-0as a starter.
2007 Micah Owings went 4-for-5, including
a pair of mammoth homers, drove in six runs and
scored four times while pitching three-hit ball
through seven innings as the Arizona Diamond-
backs beat the Atlanta Braves 12-6. Owings 11
total bases were the most for a pitcher since Jim
Tobin of the Boston Braves had 12 when he hom-
ered three times on May 13, 1942.
2011 Mike Jacobs became the frst player
suspended by Major League Baseball for a posi-
tive HGHtest under the sports minor league drug
testing procedures. The 30-year-oldminor league
frst baseman, who was in the big leagues from
2005-10, received a 50-game suspension for
taking the banned performance-enhancing sub-
stance and was subsequently released by the
Colorado Rockies.

Taylor 27; Tony Cruz 27; Evan Gattis 27.
a double by Tyler
Henson. Josh Fields,
who singled in between
the two doubles, scored
on a sac fly by Cesar
Hernandez to give LV a
2-1 lead.
More damage by the
IronPigs could have been
done if not for a great div-
ing catch by Mesa in cen-
tereld on a looping lined
drive hit by Cameron
Rupp for the second out
of the inning to keep the
margin at one run.
Mesa helped account
for the second RailRiders
to tie the score at 2-2 in
the fth to score Garcia
after Garcia walked,
advanced to second on an
ineld single by Murphy
and stole third.
Meanwhile, Lehigh
Valley starter Adam
Morgan showed great
movement on his pitches
to keep RailRiders bat-
ters off balance and only
allowing ve hits, but he
lasted just four innings as
his pitch count neared 90.

BROOKLYN, Mich.
Another Michigan mis-
hap for Jimmie Johnson.
The ve-time Sprint
Cup champion crashed
nose rst into a wall in his
No. 48 Chevrolet during a
practice session Saturday.
Johnson was evaluated
and released from the
ineld care center, but the
accident forced his team
to prepare a backup car
and now he faces quite
a challenge trying to win
a Cup race at Michigan
International Speedway
for the rst time.
Im a little puzzled as
to why I spun out going
in because Ive had great
entry stability even on
that run I had great entry
stability, Johnson said.
To me it felt like I lost
downforce just from the
trafc scenario. Im not
really sure either way
we have a torn up car.
Johnson qualied third
Friday, but hell have to
start from the rear now
with the backup car.
Johnson is one driver
who could afford a prob-
lem like this. Hes won
four times this season,
leads the standings by a
whopping 75 points and
has already wrapped up a
spot in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup.
But Johnson is plenty
motivated this weekend.
MIS is one of only ve
tracks on the Cup sched-
ule where he has never
won. Hes 0 for 23 in Cup
races in the Irish Hills.
Yeah, I do pay atten-
tion to the tracks I
havent won at, Johnson
said. Its more on the
front side going to the
event and building excite-
ment about racing at the
track and wanting to win.
When the race starts, it
doesnt go through my
mind at that point.
Johnson has come close
at Michigan. In August of
2011, he nished a solid
second. The following
June, he was fth.
Last August, he had
to start from the back
because of an engine
switch. He was leading
the race anyway with
under 10 laps to go, but
his engine faltered.
Earlier this year,
Johnson smacked the
wall in the nal laps at
Michigan. He was trying
to chase down eventual
winner Greg Bife, but
a tire gave way and he
dropped all the way to
28th.
Weve been so close
that it certainly enters
my mind at that point,
Johnson said. Ive
worked real hard on my
driving style to get bet-
ter fuel mileage here. It
seems like weve covered
that gap, but weve had
a mechanical or two.
We blew a tire this last
spring when we were
here. So, there have been
a lot of reasons why, but I
really look forward to the
day Im able to pull into
Victory Lane over here.
Chicagoland, Home-
stead, Watkins Glen and
Kentucky are the other
tracks on this years series
schedule where Johnson
hasnt won a Cup race
and he has no more than
a dozen starts at any of
those other venues.
MIS repaved its track
before its 2012 Cup races,
and speeds have soared.
Joey Logano qualied
rst Friday at 203.949
mph, the ninth-fastest
speed by a pole winner in
NASCAR history.
Youve got to maintain
track position, Johnson
said. I think the secret
to winning here really
falls into the hands of the
engineer and the crew
chief in what decisions
they make late in the race
to maintain track posi-
tion. I think thats where
the key is. For the driver,
when youre out there
practicing, youre going
so fast around here and
youre usually running by
yourself, that its easy to
set the car up to run in
clean air. And you dont
always get that luxury.
Allmendinger takes Ohio
LEXINGTON, Ohio
AJ Allmendinger led 73 of
the 94 laps and survived
a late challenge after a
restart to win the inaugu-
ral Nationwide Childrens
Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course.
Allmendinger improved
his record to 2 for 2 this
year in the Nationwide
Series, adding a victory
to the one he picked up
for Penske Racing in his
only previous start at
Road America.
The 31-year-old Allmen-
dinger, rebounding after
being suspended a year
ago for failing a random
drug test, took the lead
for good on the 64th lap,
then had to weather a late
sprint when a car spun out
just before his nal lap on
the twisting road course.
Pole-winner Michael
McDowell was second,
with native Ohioan Sam
Hornish Jr. third, Max
Papis fourth and Brian
Vickers fth.
Another ominous start for Johnson at Michigan

Points leader Jimmie Johnson was forced to switch to this backup

JOEDY McCREARY
AP Sports Writer
GREENSBORO, N.C. John
Huh refused to let tough condi-
tions and one terrible hole get
him down. He was rewarded with a
share of the lead at the Wyndham
Championship.
The PGA Tours reigning rookie
of the year shot an even-par 70 on
Saturday and joined Patrick Reed
atop the eld after a soggy third
round. Huh and Reed, the second-
round leader who shot a 71, were at
10-under 200.
Huh shook off a triple bogey on his
second hole, making up for it with
three birdies in a four-hole stretch of
the back nine.
Since the rain picked it up this
morning, it wasnt easy for us to
play out there, but I told myself, Be
patient, stay dry and keep grinding
out there, Huh said.
Zach Johnson had the days best
round, a 66, and was one stroke back
along with Bob Estes and John Deere
winner Jordan Spieth. Estes shot 68,
and Spieth had a 70.
Its a Monday qualier, Reed
said. I had a lot of success at Monday
qualiers, and thats basically what it
is. I let everybody back in the eld
and to now, all of a sudden to have
it as bunched as it is, its going to be
whoever can make as many birdies as
possible tomorrow and shoot a low
number.
There werent many of those. It
was the worst total score for a third-
round leader since the tournament
moved back to this course in 2008.

Hole-in-one lifts Europe
PARKER, Colo. Instead of
seeing their lead disappear at the
Solheim Cup, the Europeans saw it
only cut in half.
They owed their slender advan-
tage to a hole-in-one by Anna
Nordqvist and a half-point from out
of nowhere.
Nordqvist crashed a 7-iron on the
175-yard 17th into the pin, then the
hole, to give Europe its only win in
Saturday mornings alternate-shot
matches.
Europe holds a 6-5 lead over
the United States.
It was just an unbelievable
shot, Nordqvist said after she and
Caroline Hedwall beat Jessica Korda
and Morgan Pressel 2 and 1. It was
the right shot at the right time.
Huh, Reed share 3rd-round lead
Coming off a close victory in the
Lynch Memorial on June 29, Tetrick
made sure the competition didnt
have a chance last night.
Breaking out of the No.
2 spot, Tetrick watched
Somewhereovrarainbow and
Charisma Hanover break quick
around the rst turn.
Thats when I Luv the Nitelite, the
2/5 race favorite, took over, grind-
ing into another gear the rst time
past the grandstand and never relin-
quished the lead from there, pulling
away down the home stretch.
The fractions were blistering, evi-
dent by the 25-second rst-quarter
time. And when Tetrick crossed
the nish line, it was a new world
record.
Somewhereovrarainbow was sec-
ond and Novascotia Hanover was
third. Belle Boyd rounded out the
superfecta.
As soon as the dust settled, I
knew that I wanted to go and I
decided to move her, Tetrick said.
I felt that we were in a good posi-
tion, but you just never know. She is
a good horse.
For I Luv the Nitelife, it was the
females eighth straight win and
13th of her career. For her career,
she has amassed more than $1.2
million.
The horses last defeat was a third-
place nish at the Meadowlands on
June 1.
There is just something special
about this horse, trainer Chris
Ryder said. Im just pretty fortu-
nate to have the opportunity to be
around her. She is something spe-
cial.
In probably the most wide-open
of the three major races Saturday,
it was Spider Blue Chip, the third
choice on the board, that stole
the show.
Piloted by Pierce, the
trotter kept a nice pocket
trip around the rst turn
and watch a speed race
break out between Smilin
Eli and Royalty for Life.
The two horses, which
posted a half-mile time of
54.1, battled around the
nal turn for position.
Thats when Pierce shot
the rail and slipped by
Smilin Eli for the top spot.
Spider Blue Chip
returned $10.20 on a $2
bet. Smilin Eli nished sec-
ond, while Corky rounded
out the trifecta.
We felt that we had a
nice chance in this race,
Pierce said. I just wanted
to get on Smilin Elis back
and see what happened
from there. My horse was
super sharp. I knew that I
just needed a little room to
run and he would get the
job done. Thats what hap-
pened.

Pittston
From page 1C
Poll
From page 1C
Saturday to easily outdis-
tance No. 2 Ohio State.
Alabama matched Florida
in 2009 for the highest
percentage of rst-place
votes received in the
63-year history of the pre-
season rankings.
The Buckeyes received
one rst-place vote.
Oregon is No. 3, fol-
lowed by Stanford and
Georgia, which received
the other rst-place vote.
Notre Dame, coming
off a 42-14 loss in the
BCS championship game
to Alabama, is No. 14.
Alabama won its record
ninth AP national cham-
pionship last season,
third BCS title in the last
four years under Saban,
and became the rst team
to win back-to-back BCS
championships.
The Tide is AP pre-
season No. 1 for the
fourth time, and rst
since 2010. Alabama was
ranked No. 2 in the pre-
season poll each of the
last two seasons. The
only time has Alabama
started and nished No.
1 was 1978, when Bear
Bryant led the Crimson
Tide to the fourth of its
ve national champion-
ships with him as coach.
Now Sabans Tide is try-
ing to accomplish some-
thing Bears boys never
could. Twice Alabama
won back-to-back cham-
pionships under Bryant,
but couldnt get the third.
Saban is hoping senior
stars such as quarterback
AJ McCarron, linebacker
C.J. Mosley, defensive
end Ed Stinson and guard
Anthony Steen have
enough memories of what
went wrong for the 2010
Alabama team to avoid it
happening in 2013.
Youre in a position
here where we have a
lot of players that really
havent lost much, Saban
said earlier this week.
They have to really want
to be good for the sake of
being good.
Alabama is 49-5 over
the past four seasons,
with three of those losses
coming in 10.
Most other teams are
out there saying weve
got something to prove,
Saban said. Well, this
team has something to
prove. Its a lot more dif-
cult not to be a little bit
complacent, not to keep
the same accountability
to being successful thats
necessary. Youve got to
challenge yourself every
day. Youve got to chal-
lenge each other.
Since the poll started
in 1936, 10 times has a
school has won consecu-
tive AP championships.
The Tides task: com-
plete the hat trick.
Alabama will also be try-
ing to run the Southeastern
Conferences streak of
national championships
to eight. For the second
straight year, half the top
10 teams to start the season
are from the SEC. Joining
Alabama and Georgia are
South Carolina at No. 6,
Texas A&M at No. 7 and
Florida at No. 10.
The Tide and Aggies
meet Sept. 14 in College
Station, Texas. A&M and
Heisman Trophy winner
Johnny Manziel handed
Alabama its only loss last
year. Whether Manziel
will be eligible for the
rematch remains in ques-
tion while the NCAA
investigates the Aggies
quarterback. ESPN has
reported Manziel is under
investigation for being
paid to sign autographs.
No. 8 Clemson and No.
9 Louisville, led by two
other Heisman-contender
quarterbacks, round out
the top 10. Tajh Boyd and
Clemson take on Georgia
at home in Week 1 and are
the favorites to win the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
Teddy Bridgewater and
the Cardinals are the heavy
favorites to get back to
the BCS for the second
straight year out of the
newly renamed American
Athletic Conference.

BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz. The Dallas
Cowboys had a gift for Bruce
Arians in his rst home game as
Arizona coach.
Six of them, actually.
The Cowboys committed six
turnovers, ve in the rst half, and
the Cardinals sputtered to a 12-7
preseason victory Saturday.
Arizonas Jay Feely kicked eld
goals of 25, 53, 40 and 22 yards.
Dallas Tony Romo completed
7 of 10 passes for 142 yards but
was undone by two fumbles by
his receivers. He also overthrew a
wide-open Terrance Williams for
what looked to be a sure touch-
down.
Obviously, turnovers are going
to get you beat in this league. It is
paramount that we dont let that
happen again, Romo said. We are
going to have some hard teaching
sessions going over this tape, and
it will be good for guys.
Arizonas Carson Palmer was 7 of
15 for 66 yards.
The Cowboys scored on a 5-yard
pass from fourth-string quarter-
back Alex Tanney to Gavin Escobar
with 10:55 to play, the rst points
allowed by Arizona (2-0) in the pre-
season.
Dallas, which entered the game
with two turnovers total in its rst
two preseason contests, fumbled
the ball away three times, then
backup Kyle Orton threw two inter-
ceptions, all before the half came to
an end. Arizona got another inter-
ception with 1:40 to play.
Cardinals cornerback Jerraud
Powers recovered two fumbles and
intercepted a pass. Rookie Tony
Jefferson had two interceptions.
Arizona didnt do much with the
turnovers, turning them in to just
three eld goals for a 9-0 halftime
lead.
The rst Dallas turnover came
after Arizona went three-and-out in
its rst possession.
Dwayne Harris gathered in
Dave Zastudils 56-yard punt and
was in immediate distress. Justin
Bethel stripped Harris of the ball,
then Stepfan Taylor jumped on it
for Arizona at the Dallas 22. The
Cardinals made it to the 7, but
Palmer threw incomplete short
to Andre Roberts on third-and-6,
although Michael Floyd appeared
to be open in the back of the end
zone. Feelys 25-yard eld goal
made it 3-0.
The rst offensive series for
Dallas ended when, on third-and-
one from the Arizona 47, the rookie
Williams broke open down the side-
line but Romo overthrew him.
Arizona took the punt and drove
from its 11 to the Dallas 7 on its
next possession, but on fourth-
and-two Palmer underthrew
Mendenhall.
On the rst series of the second
quarter, Romo threw short to Lance
Dunbar, who evaded tacklers at the
line of scrimmage and raced down-
eld to the Arizona 7, with the ball
coming loose as the receiver went
down. The ruling was he was down
by contact, but Arians challenged
and was successful, with Powers
recovering at the Cardinals 4.
The next time the Cowboys had
the ball, Romo threw long to Dez
Bryant at the Arizona 28. But
Bryant fumbled as he went down
and Jasper Brinkley recovered for
the Cardinals at their 24. Arizona
moved to the Dallas 36, and Feelys
53-yard eld goal made it 6-0.
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Royal taken of
feld in ambulance
SAN DIEGO Chargers wide
receiver Eddie Royal was taken off a
practice eld in an ambulance after
landing hard on his back after mak-
ing a catch in practice Saturday.
The team said he has a bruised
lung and was being evaluated for a
concussion.
The latest injury to the wide
receiving corps was the scariest.
After landing hard, Royal walked
to an adjoining eld, where he
dropped to the ground and began
receiving treatment from the teams
medical staff.
It appeared he was given oxygen,
and also that he spit up a small
amount of blood.
I think like anything, when youre
getting carried off like that youre
scared, quarterback Philip Rivers
said. You hope for the best. You
hate to ever see a teammate like that
get carried off.
NEWYORKJETS
QB Smith misses
game against Jags
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
New York Jets rookie quarterback
Geno Smith did not play in the
teams preseason game against the
Jacksonville Jaguars because of a
sprained ankle.
Smith was injured in the Jets pre-
season opener last Friday, suffering
a mild sprain to his right ankle in
the third quarter of the 26-17 loss.
Smith was cleared by team trainers
to practice but walked with a notice-
able limp early in the week during
training camp at SUNY Cortland,
and acknowledged that the ankle was
sore.
Mark Sanchez, competing with
Smith for the job started Saturday
night.
Smith, the teams second-round
draft pick, was intercepted four
times in Wednesdays practice,
including three in 11-on-11 drills,
prompting coach Rex Ryan to call
his performance brutal.
CLEVELAND BROWNS
Mingo released
from hospital
CLEVELAND Browns rookie
linebacker Barkevious Mingo was
released from the hospital after a
two-night stay because of a bruised
lung.
The unusual injury came on a
hit some time in the rst half of
Thursday nights exhibition victory
over the Detroit Lions. The Browns
cant pinpoint exactly when the
6-foot-4, 240-pounder was hurt.
Mingo had been in The Cleveland
Clinic since Thursday night. He
was at the teams training facility
Saturday and visited with defensive
coordinator Ray Horton during the
teams lunch break before practice.
He looks great, Horton said.
As far as projections, the doctors
will make that decision. We just
want him to get healthy and are glad
everything is OK. The projection
will be whenever his body says he is
ready to go.
DETROIT LIONS
Four signed to
contracts to bolster
defensive depth
ALLEN PARK, Mich. The
Detroit Lions signed outside line-
backer Rocky McIntosh and corner-
back Rashean Mathis on Saturday.
They were among four new defen-
sive players participating in team
practice for the rst time Saturday,
joined by defensive tackles Justin
Bannan and John Drew.
McIntosh played six seasons for
the Washington Redskins before
starting nine games for the St. Louis
Rams in 2012. Mathis, a 2006 Pro
Bowl selection, played all 10 of his
NFL seasons in Jacksonville and
holds the Jaguars franchise intercep-
tion record with 30.

Sputtering Arizona beats mistake-prone Dallas
Giants

2 in row

AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
New York Giants cornerback
Terrell Thomas has been wait-
ing for almost two years to get
back on the eld and play in an
NFL game, any type of game.
It just wont be Sunday night
when the Giants (1-0) take on
Indianapolis in a preseason
game at Metlife Stadium, a
contest in which the Colts have
been challenged by their owner
to show something after a dis-
mal performance last weekend.
Thomas has a bigger come-
back, He has missed the last
two seasons with anterior cru-
ciate ligament injuries. The
28-year-old started training
camp on the physically unable
to perform list and was acti-
vated less than two week ago.
However, he has looked sur-
prisingly good in practice and
appears to be close to playing,
possibly next week against the
Jets.
Im still just building blocks
and just trying to knock em
down, said Thomas, who was
the Giants leading tackler in
the two seasons before being
hurt. Im taking big steps
every day. Trying to get better,
you know, with my technique
getting my feet underneath me,
keep building condence.
One clear indication that
Thomas is getting closer has
been watching him work against
Victor Cruz in practice. He has
held his own against one of the
leagues top receivers.
We love the competition,
Thomas said. I made a couple
plays on him and vice versa. We
talked about it in the locker room,
give each other, gassed each other
up a little bit. But its fun. Its fun
to get me back out there.
Cruz, who caught a 57-yard
scoring pass in the 18-13 win
over Pittsburgh last weekend,
said Thomas is denitely mak-
ing progress.
You can still see him getting
his feet under him and working
on his lateral movement, Cruz
said. But he looks good, he
looks quick, he looks uid out
there. He jammed me up pretty
good one day out there, Im not
going to lie. But I got him back.
Theres a little back and forth,
just a little competitive stuff
to get each other better. But I
denitely see him moving in
the right direction.
Heading into the second
week of the preseason, Giants
coach Tom Coughlin and Colts
coach Chuck Pagano, whose
team was embarrassed 44-20
by Buffalo, want to see their
teams make progress. So does
Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Irsay was miffed with his
backups after Andrew Luck and
company helped Indianapolis
take a 10-0 lead, and he let the
team know he wasnt happy
after spending $140 million on
free agents, seeing star Andrew
Luck sacked, and his defense
and special teams embarrassed.
Linebacker Robert Mathis
didnt show up in the right
frame of mind.
Knee sidelines Bills QBManuel for preseason
IN BRIEF
DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
The Kansas City Chiefs got
a rude reminder of what life
could be like without Pro
Bowl running back Jamaal
Charles in their preseason
loss to San Francisco.
They struggled to move
the ball on the ground.
They struggled to protect
Alex Smith in the passing
game. Really, they strug-
gled to do much of anything
on offense the entire night.
The result was a 15-13
defeat that left the Chiefs
winless in their rst two
preseason games under
coach Andy Reid. But both
games come with a sig-
nicant asterisk: Charles
only played one series in
the opener against New
Orleans, and not at all on
Friday night, when he was
held out of the 49ers game
with a lingering strain of his
right foot.
Hell practice tomorrow
and well see how he does,
Reid said on a conference
call Saturday afternoon.
Well see how it works out
for him tomorrow. He needs
work I mean, they all
need to work. But well see
how he feels tomorrow.
Reid wouldnt say wheth-
er Charles will be available
next weekend in Pittsburgh.
Well see how he does
tomorrow, Reid said.
Taking it day-by-day. Well
see.
Charles hurt his right foot
when he stepped on a team-
mate in practice last week.
He didnt suit up again the
rest of the week, but took
part in several rehab drills
away from the team.
He worked out again
before Friday nights game,
but Reid said he didnt
want to risk further injury
by allowing him to play in
the game. Instead, Charles
spent most of the night
helping rookie running back
Knile Davis, who got most
of the reps with the No. 1
offense.
Davis showed some ash-
es, too. He ran for 37 yards
while catching a team-best
three passes for 31 yards,
including a 17-yarder that
was among the Chiefs big-
gest plays all night.
The Chiefs only managed
170 yards total offense in
the game.
I had fun out there,
Davis said. Jamaal stayed
down on the sideline help-
ing me out, trying to coach
me through things, telling
me what to look for and I
think I did pretty good.
Still, it wasnt the same as
having Charles on the eld.
He returned from a dev-
astating knee injury last
season to run for more than
1,500 yards for an offense
that was otherwise among
the worst in the NFL. Twice,
Charles ran for more than
200 yards in a game, show-
ing the kind of breakaway
speed that makes him one
of the best in the league.
If there was any ques-
tions about where hed t
in Reids new-look system,
they were answered in the
Chiefs preseason opener in
New Orleans. He touched
the ball on eight of the 14
plays the No. 1 offense was
on the eld, capping an
80-yard drive with a short
touchdown run.
All that efciency seemed
to disappear with Charles
standing on the sideline,
though.
The 49ers defense had to
worry less about the run-
ning game, and that gave
them the green light to blitz
the quarterback. Smith
and the rest of the Chiefs
signal-callers were sacked
a combined seven times,
the biggest reason that the
offense struggled to get on
track.
Wide receiver Dwayne
Bowe was targeted only
once all night, even though
the rst-team offense played
the entire rst half. In fact,
only one wide receiver
caught more than one pass
in the game, and that was
backup Jamar Newsome
a longshot to make the
roster.
We didnt get into the
rhythm we got into last
week, Smith said. Itll be
good to look at. I think we
certainly left a lot out there,
a lot of really easily xable
things.
In other injury news, Reid
said that right tackle Eric
Fisher the No. 1 overall
pick in the April draft
would miss practice Sunday
with a sore right shoulder.
Its the same injury that
kept Fisher out of practice
for a bit earlier in the week.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Buffalo
Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel
will miss the rest of the preseason
after hurting his left knee in Friday
nights preseason game.
In a statement released by the team
Saturday, coach Doug Marrone said
the rst-round draft pick would have
a minor knee procedure.
Its unclear when or howManuel was
hurt in the 20-16 win over Minnesota.
He took over to start the second half
and opened with a 14-play, 80-yard
drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown
pass to Brad Smith. He nished 10 of
12 for 92 yards in three series.
EJ Manuel had some swelling in his
left knee this morning and was exam-
ined by our medical staff, Marrone
said. An MRI revealed that he will
need to have a minor knee procedure
and that has been scheduled. He will
miss the remainder of the preseason
and then be re-evaluated at that time.
Through two games this preseason,
Manuel completed 26 of 33 passes for
199 yards and two touchdowns, and
ran four times for 29 yards.
Manuel was the rst quarterback
selected in the draft when the Bills chose
him 16th overall out of Florida State.
Kolb will now start against
Washington on next Saturday. Kolb
was 13 of 21 for 111 yards and an
interception on Sunday. Washington
State rookie Jeff Tuel is the third-
string quarterback.
Kolb signed with the Bills in the off-
season after starting 21 of 32 career
games played in a six-year career with
Philadelphia and Arizona. Hes thrown
for 28 touchdowns and 25 intercep-
tions while being sacked 77 times in
a career that started as a 2nd round
draft pick of the Eagles in 2007.
Marrone also says backup receiver
Kevin Elliott will miss the season after
tearing a ligament in his left knee.
The Bills return to the practice eld
at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford,
N.Y. at 8 a.m. Monday. Marrone will
meet with the media after practice.

The new boat launch in Shickshinny will be celebrated with a grand opening and two bass tournaments
on Sept. 14.
I cast a spinner into the deep,
churning pools of the Lehigh River
and retrieved it slowly, hoping for
a trout to emerge from the depths
and strike.
The river below the Francis
Walter Dam is broad, swift and
deep, lled with pools, pockets and
runs that hold trout.
It resembles some of
the world-famous wild
trout waters in the
western states, with
one difference: its
stocked.
There are wild trout
in the Lehigh River,
and the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat
Commission has been
augmenting the popu-
lation by releasing
thousands of nger-
lings.
But the river below the dam is
also stocked with adult trout, which
out-compete their wild counter-
parts.
Since the river has so much in
common with the wild trout waters
of the west, shouldnt it be man-
aged like one?
Norm Gavlick, who is a commis-
sioner on the PFBC board repre-
senting the northeast region, says
yes. Right now, the agency is con-
sidering changing some sections of
streams across the state to Class
A waters, meaning they would
be managed exclusively for wild
trout and they would no longer be
stocked.
Gavlick would like to see the
same thing happen to the Lehigh,
but thats a catch. In order to sus-
tain thriving populations of wild
trout, a new tower needs to be built
at the dam, one that would allow
water from all levels of the pool
to be released, ensuring that cold
water ows for 28 miles downriver
year round (visit lehighriver.org for
more information).
Out west they protect their wild
trout populations and dont stock.
Here, weve done it for so long in
the opposite direction, Gavlick
said. Why should we stock trout
in certain places knowing that its
going to hurt the wild trout popula-
tion?
Good question.
The path for a new tower on the
dam wont be an easy one. The sup-
port of politicians and the public is
vital, and that could be tough. How
do you convince anglers who turn
out on the Lehigh in droves that no
longer stocking trout in the river is
a good thing?
For starters, Gavlick is hoping
a study looking at the economic
impact of making the Lehigh a wild
trout shery will help. The wild
trout streams of the west are major
shing destinations, he said, and
the Lehigh could be a similar draw.
If we kept the water cold in the
Lehigh, the wild trout would thrive
and anglers would travel for that type
of shing experience, Gavlick said.
Were condent we can show a sig-
nicant economic boost from this.
So what happens to the trout allo-
cations originally designated for
the Lehigh and those other streams
that would be switched to Class A?
Well, they certainly wont disap-
pear. Gavlick said shifting those
trout to bolster stockings in lakes
and streams with good access, but
no wild trout, and improve the put-
and-take sheries in those places.
If that means taking all of the
trout that were stocked annually
into the Lehigh and shifting them
to places like Moon Lake and
Nescopeck Creek, then anglers
would still benet.
And so would the wild trout in
the Lehigh River tailwaters.
Still, such a project will take time
and patience. Getting the approvals
and funding for a new tower will
take years, as will establishing a
viable wild trout shery similar to
those found in places like Colorado,
Wyoming and Utah.
And yes, it is asking a lot from
anglers to go along with removing
their favorite trout spots from the
stocking list. These are places that
throngs of anglers ock to each year
on opening day of trout season, and
such traditions are hard to break.
But new ones can be born. A
world-class wild trout shery in the
Lehigh River tailwaters just may be
a new tradition waiting to happen.
Its time
for a wild
plan for
the Lehigh
Tom
Venesky
Outdoors
Columnist
From her backyard,
Shickshinny Borough
mayor Beverly Moore
sees the beauty of the
Susquehanna River.
She sees anglers sh-
ing for bass in the summer
and muskie in the winter.
Eagles and blue herons are
a common sight, and the
view of the river as it mean-
ders through the town is
breath-taking, Moore says.
They are all sights that
Moore wants to share with
others, and a new boat
launch and dock will help
accomplish that goal.
The Shickshinny boat
launch, complete with a
oating dock, paved access
road and paths - all of
which is handicap accessi-
ble, opened for use on June
30. Moore hopes the facil-
ity will make Shickshinny a
destination for angler and
boaters and give the town a
bit of an economic boost in
the process.
This launch offers
access to a really nice
stretch of the river, Moore
said. Ive gotten very posi-
tive feedback on it and
every morning when I go
down I always see someone
shing from the dock.
On Sept. 14 Moore will
see a lot more people shing
around the boat launch. The
borough has partnered with
the Suskie Bassmasters and
the Pennsylvania Kayak
Fishing Association to hold
two bass tournaments to
celebrate the grand open-
ing of the launch.
The way Moore sees it,
the shing tournaments are
the perfect way to compli-
ment the grand opening
of the boat launch. It com-
bines two of the main ele-
ments of the launch - sh-
ing and boating.
This is our rst tour-
nament and Im extremely
excited, she said. I see it
becoming an annual event.
When Suskie
Bassmasters tournament
director Rob Rosencrans
was contacted by Moore
about the possibility of
conducting a tournament
for the grand opening, he
was equally excited. The
Suskie Bassmasters, which
has 60 members, host a
bass tournament on the
river at Nesbitt Park every
Wednesday, so shifting the
operation downriver to
Shickshinny for an event
was an easy task.
It means a lot to the
club that she called us to
do this, Rosencrans said.
That tells me were doing
something right.
Rosencrans said the
event will actually consist
of two separate tourna-
ments one for power
boats and another for kay-
aks. Rosencrans said its the
rst time that a power boat
and kayak tournament has
been held together.
John Oast, founder of the
PAKayakFishingAssociation,
said the event also represents
the rst organized kayak
shing tournament on the
Susquehanna River.
Its an ideal opportu-
nity to come out for the
Shickshinny community
and work with one of the
larger bass clubs in the
state with Suskie, Oast
said. Its a chance to show-
case what kayak shing is
all about.

Those participating in the kayak fshing tournament wont be
bringing their fsh back to the weigh-in. Because kayaks dont have
livewells, those anglers will practice catch-photo-release. According
to John Oast, every angler is given a marker before the tournament.
When they catch a bass, they have to place it along side a ruler and
the marker and take a photograph. The marker, Oast said, is used to
verify the fsh was caught that day.
At the end of the tournament, all anglers turn in their memory cards
and the length of each fsh is reviewed. The longest fsh wins.
The whole process requires minimal handling of the fsh, which is
better for the fshery, Oast said. As regulations continue to increase
to protect the bass fshery on the Susquehanna, this is the way to be
able to still hold tournaments without harming the fsh.
Pheasants Forever local chap-
ter 803, in conjunction with the

The U.S. Army Corps Engineers
Philadelphia District has updated
the recreation plan for the Francis E.
Walter Dam.
The Army Corps updated the plan,
which states whitewater and sher-
ies releases will be added if enough
water storage is accumulated in the
reservoir. Wet conditions throughout
the summer have allowed the Corps
to add the 8th and 9th increments of
the plan. The additions include:
* Increase the whitewater releases
scheduled for Aug. 31-Sept 1 to 1700
cubic feet per second of water on
Saturday and 1000 cfs on Sunday
(previously 650 cfs up to 850 cfs)
* Fisheries Enhancement Releases:
Sept 29-Oct 13 (50 cubic feet per sec-
ond plus inow up to 300 cfs)
The Corps will announce at a later
date if it is able to hold additional
whitewater and sheries releases.

OuTdOOrS NOTES
still time for chance at an elk license
Times Leader staf
Elk were gone from Pennsylvania for about 50
years at the time the Game Commission began
efforts to reintroduce them to the state in 1913.
One-hundred years later, the states elk herd is
the largest in the Northeast and restoring elk to
Pennsylvania is considered one of the great accom-
plishments in wildlife conservation history.
And for those hoping in this anniversary year
to participate in Pennsylvanias annual elk hunt,
theres still time to enter your name in the drawing
for licenses.
Hunters have until Aug. 25 to submit an applica-
tion through the Pennsylvania Automated License
System (PALS).
Applications can be submitted anywhere hunt-
ing licenses are sold, or online at the Game
Commissions website, www.pgc.state.pa.us.
Perhaps the easiest way to submit an online appli-
cation is by clicking on the Enter Elk Drawing
icon on the websites homepage.
Applicants must pay a $10.70 non-refundable
application fee to be included in the drawing.
This years drawing provides a greater opportu-
nity for hunters to obtain an elk license. The num-
ber of licenses to be allocated has been increased to
86, up from the 65 licenses issued in the 2012-13
season.
The drawing will be held on Friday, Sept. 13, in
the auditorium at the Game Commissions head-
quarters in Harrisburg.
Names will be drawn rst for the 26 antlered
licenses available, followed by the drawings for the
60 available antlerless licenses.
Individuals are not required to purchase a resi-
dent or nonresident general hunting license to apply
for the drawing. However, if they are drawn for one
of the elk licenses, hunters then will be required to
purchase the appropriate resident or nonresident
general hunting license and view the elk hunt ori-
entation video produced by the Game Commission
before being permitted to purchase the elk license.
The elk license fees are $25 for residents and $250
for nonresidents.
There is no cap, or limit, for the number of licens-
es that may be awarded to nonresidents. Individuals
who applied in each year from 2003 through 2012,
but were not awarded an elk license, have 10 pref-
erence points heading into this years drawing if
they submit an application this year, and will have
their name entered into the drawing 11 times (10

hunters will have a greater chance to receive an elk license in this years lottery as the number of licenses to be allocated has
been increased to 86, up from the 65 licenses issued in the 2012-13 season.

To avoid issues with wakes in the river, the
power boats will launch at 7 a.m. while the
kayaks will head out a half-hour later. Weigh-
in for the kayaks will be at 1:30 while the
power boats will come in at 3 p.m.
Moore said local businesses are donating
breakfast sandwiches, coffee and snacks for
the anglers and the grand opening event will
also feature numerous vendors.
And hopefully a large crowd.
Rosencrans said the Wednesday tourna-
ments at Nesbitt Park always draw a crowd
when the sh are weighed in, and he expects
a similar turnout in Shickshinny.
Bass tournaments are continuing to grow
in popularity, not just from anglers but from
those who follow them or want to see the sh
that are in the river, Rosencrans said. We
always get a lot of spectators for the weigh-
ins.
That interest is what Moore hopes puts
Shickshinny on the map as far as a destina-
tion for anglers, boaters and tourists who
want to enjoy the river. Its a big turnaround
from the negative perception of the river
one that was magnied in 2011 when ood-
waters ravaged Shickshinny.
The river is a part of what this town is.
Were a river town and we need to embrace
that, Moore said. With a town the size of
Shickshinny, we need to think outside of the
box and make it a destination for people. The
river, shing, boating and natural beauty are
a way to do that as we continue to recover
from the ood.
Bass tournaments planned
The Suskie Bassmasters and PAKayak Fishing Association
will host an open teambass tournament and CPR (Catch,
Photo, Release) Kayak Tournament for the Shickshinny Boat
Launch Grand Opening on Sept. 14. Launch for the bass
tournament is 7 a.m. with weigh-in at 3 p.m. Entry fee is $75
and limit is fve fsh. Payout is 100 percent for the power boat
tournament. For more information, call Rob Rosencrans at
881-1068. The Kayak CPRTournament will launch at 7:30
a.m. and report-in at 1:30 p.m. Entry fee is $20 and the limit
is one fsh. Payout is 95 percent. For more information, call

preference points plus the point
for this years application).
As part of the preference-point
system established by the agency
in 2003, consecutive applications
are not required to maintain pre-
viously earned preference points,
but those points can be activated
only in years that a hunter submits
an application. For instance, if a
hunter has 10 preference points,
but does not enter the 2012 draw-
ing, he/she will not have any
chances in the upcoming drawing.
However, their preference points
will remain on hold until they
apply in a future drawing. Once a
hunter is awarded an elk license
either an antlered or antlerless elk
license the hunters preference
points will revert to zero.
Additionally, hunters who want
to earn a preference point for this
year, but know that they would
not be able to participate in the
elk hunting season if drawn, have
the option of simply purchasing a
preference point for $10.70. While
they will not be included in the
drawing for the 2013 elk licenses,
they will continue to build their
preference points.
Those applying for an elk
license can choose either an ant-
lered or antlerless elk license, or
they may select either-sex on their
application. For those who select
antlered only, if they are drawn
after the antlered licenses are allo-
cated, they will not receive an elk
license. For those who do receive
an antlered elk license, they will
not be permitted to re-apply for
future elk hunting opportunities
for ve years. However, those who
received an antlerless elk license
in any of the previous hunts may
submit an application this year.
Applicants also have the oppor-
tunity to identify their elk hunt
zone preference, or they may
select NP (no preference). If
drawn and their preferred hunt
zone is lled, applicants will be
assigned a specic zone by the
Game Commission.
The public drawing of applica-
tions to be awarded licenses will
be webcast on Sept. 13. To view
the drawing, a special icon will be
posted online the morning of the
public drawing for individuals to
click on and watch the drawing.
Those who can neither attend
nor watch the drawing can check
the status of their applications
online using PALS.

Caught on CamERa
Chance encounters are common in the outdoors, especially with
deer. But they arent limited to people. Deer often have run-ins
with other wildlife, as these photos attest.
The photo of the bear and the large buck engaged in a stare-
down leaves you wondering what happened next. Its a remarkable
image from the bears vantage point, and it was captured on a trail
camera by Walter Gulitis in July.
While were on the topic of staredowns, nothing beats the trail
camera photo from Philip Mathers. Taken in the Trucksville area
on June 3, it looks like neither the deer or the raccoon are willing
to budge.
See the gray fox standing out in the open in the photo sent in
by Dallas resident Jerry Passerrello? Well, according to his trail
camera it was taken at 8:36 p.m. Now check out the photo of the
doe in the same spot. Look at the treeline behind her and youll
see the gray fox watching intently. That photo was taken two min-
utes later, indicating the deer gave the fox the boot so it could eat.
Finally, its obvious that deer will stare at virtually anything, not
only other wildlife. Heres a photo captured by Michele Howarth
on Tunkhannock. She said the deer visits her cat in the backyard
almost daily.
Capture anything interesting on your handheld or trail cam-
era? A nice buck, bear, coyote or anything unique? Wed love to
see it. Each week, well run photos from a readers trail camera
on the Sunday Outdoors page. Email your photo, along with date
and area it was taken (township is ne), and any other details to

MOSCOW When
Usain Bolt means business,
he is still all alone out there.
Bolt coasted to his third
straight 200-meter world
title Saturday, with the
race basically wrapped
as soon as he entered the
nishing straight.
Jamaican teammate
Warren Weir never got close
to Bolts world-leading mark
of 19.66 seconds, but cross-
ing .13 seconds later for
silver still left him enough
time to join him in a reg-
gae dance to Bob Marleys
Three Little Birds.
The energy was great
tonight, Bolt said. The
crowd was into it.
Curtis Mitchell of the
United States took bronze
in 20.24 but was never in
the hunt for gold.
Now Bolt will go for
his fourth triple gold
at a major champion-
ship when he joins the
Jamaican team for the
4x100 relay Sunday.
It should be even bet-
ter, Bolt said.
The wealth of Jamaican
sprinting is such that
they might well sweep
their American rivals in
unprecedented fashion,
after Shelly-Ann Fraser-
Pryce clinched a similar
100-200 double and also
has her nal relay late
on the closing day of the
championships.
The opposition could
hardly touch Bolt on
Saturday, and once it was
clear his right foot was
OK after he dropped a
starting block on it early
in the week, everything
was as good as gold.
Even his start was
strong as he quickly
gained a decisive edge.
And then in the nish-
ing straight, Bolt fully let
loose his giant stride, the
one that has dumbfound-
ed rivals since he won
three gold medals at the
2008 Beijing Olympics.
His seventh world title
leaves him one shy of
American greats Carl Lewis
and Michael Johnson, who
lead the overall gold medal
standings in the 30-year
history of the event. On
Sunday, Bolt can pull along-
side them, even though he
is only 26.
I got to face the fact
that I am getting older so
I have to try not getting
injured during the sea-
son, Bolt said.

Credit

personal
Social media has revolutionized the
way people share their lives, mobilized
communities for a common cause and
changed the way companies market to
consumers.
Next, it may be used to
determine your creditwor-
thiness.
A small number of lend-
ers have begun evaluating
whether a person will
repay a loan by examining
their online reputation
and the quality of their
professional connections
on Facebook, LinkedIn
and Twitter.
Aside from using social
media, the concept is
nothing new.
If you go back 200 years, your ability
to access credit was based on your repu-
tation, your standing in the community
and whom you were connected to, said
Jeff Stewart, chief executive of Lenddo,
a Hong Kong organization that lends
money to individuals and small busi-
nesses in emerging markets, such as the
Philippines, Colombia and Mexico.
Whats new today is that the process
is technologically based.
Its the same principle, but its
now automated, said Eric Bradlow,
co-director of the Wharton Customer
Analytics Initiative at the University of
Pennsylvania. By knowing who your
friends are, by potentially knowing
what their credit risks are, by knowing
what the products they purchase are, by
knowing their default rates. All of that
is informative about what you do.
Bradlow has studied commercial
applications for social media.
While the idea is getting attention
globally, I couldnt nd any Dallas lend-
ers using social media to determine
credit worthiness.
But they arent ruling out its use in
the future.
Lenddo isnt like your typical neigh-
borhood bank.
It describes itself as a community
that lends money to individuals need-
ing life-improving loans for education,
health care, home improvement or, in
some cases, to build a small business.
It doesnt facilitate lending between
members but lends its own capital and
the capital of investors and partners.
Were operating in parts of the world
where people are very hardworking,
Stewart said. Theyre part of the global
economy, but they dont have access to
credit, so what we empower them to do
is essentially to prove that theyre trust-
worthy through Facebook and LinkedIn
by having their friends put their own
reputation on the line. We call that a
trusted connection.
When someone applies for a loan
from Lenddo, they share their social
graph, a map of your personal and
business connections on social media.
We look at how those people are
connected to you, how theyre part of
the community, the friends you have in
common, the nature of that connection
and who they are, Stewart said. Have
they borrowed from us in the past?
Did they repay? Are they connected

mergers

airfares
SCOTT MAYEROWITZ
AP Airlines Writer
NEW YORK The government is
trying to put a stop to rising airfares
and fees by blocking the latest airline
merger but for iers, its already
too late.
The past decade has seen the
largest transformation of the airline
industry in a generation. Prior to
2005, there were nine major U.S. air-
lines. Today, just ve.
The merger of American Airlines
and US Airways would bring that
number down to four. But Tuesday,
the Department of Justice moved to
block the deal, saying it would cost
consumers hundreds of millions of
dollars a year in higher fares and
extra fees.
But even before this, the cost of y-
ing had gone up for consumers as the
industry consolidated. The average
cost of a round-trip domestic ticket
including baggage and reservation
change fees grew to $378.62 last
year, up from $351.48 in 2008, when
adjusted for ination.
The American-US Airways merger
would create the worlds biggest air-
line and help propel American out
of bankruptcy court protection. For
smaller US Airways, the deal rep-
resents a chance to be a signicant
player in global aviation and to better
compete with the larger airlines that
now dominate the market.
The airline industry has been
searching for stability ever since
the government stopped regulating
routes and prices in 1978. Companies
that once had protable monopo-
lies suddenly faced start ups that
undercut their fares. Since deregula-
tion, 195 airlines small and large
have led for bankruptcy. Some
emerged stronger. Some stopped y-
ing. Others survived only through
mergers.
While deregulation created havoc
for the airlines bottom line, it did
open up ying to the masses. Air
travel used to be only for the rich. In
1979 the rst year after deregula-
tion a round trip domestic ticket
cost $590.49, when adjusted for ina-
tion. As new airlines started ying,
prices fell dramatically. Mergers have
reversed that trend.
The latest round of consolidation
started in 2005, when America West
bought US Airways out of bank-
ruptcy, taking its name. Then Delta
and Northwest merged in 2008, fol-
lowed by United and Continental,
and Southwest and AirTran. All
of those easily won the blessing of
antitrust regulators the rst two
under President George W. Bush, the
second pair under President Barack
Obama.
Andy Brennan, an analyst with
IBISWorld, said the government
approved those deals to save the
then-struggling industry. Now that
the airlines health has improved,
regulators are more concerned about
airfares.
While theres still a bit of turmoil
and volatility in the economy, its
much more stable than it was only a
few years ago, Brennan said.
The number of players in the
European industry has shrunk as
well, with the mergers of Air France
and KLM, British Airways and
Iberia, and Lufthansa with Swiss and
Austrian.
Consolidation has made the air-
lines more stable, provided job
security for thousands of employees
and rewarded Wall Street investors.
Business travelers have beneted
from more ight options and easier
connections. But families looking to
go on vacation face higher fares and
fewer airlines to choose from.
Its too late. Its already a
very consolidated industry, said
Savanthi Syth, an airline analyst with
Raymond James. I dont know if you
want to stop an industry from being
protable.
In seeking to stop the American-
US Airways deal, the government
contends that airlines already fol-

Back to school means yummy, healthy giveaway is back
The recent cool weather has
offered a stark reminder that
summer is eeting and fall is
on the horizon. That means
school buses, the return of our

Los Angeles Times (MCT)
ORLANDO, Fla. Passengers
waiting to board the Dumbo the
Flying Elephant ride at Walt Disney
World used to stand in long lines
that snaked along the sun-baked
pavement.
Riders are now ushered into an
air-conditioned tent, where kids can
play on slides, a climbing tower and
a toy re engine while parents wait
for the buzz of a pager telling them
its time to ride the attraction.
Its so much better this way,
Russ Spence of Richmond, Va., said
as he relaxed in the tent, waiting to
take his 3-year-old grandson on the
ride.
With theme park lines only get-
ting longer, parks like Disney World
in Florida are investing big money
to make wait time less boring, more
comfortable and, in the process,
seemingly shorter. The efforts make
good business sense because long
queues are one of the biggest gripes
of theme park guests.
If you reduce the wait, whether
real or perceived, it is critical, said
Jim MacPhee, senior vice president
at Walt Disney World Parks, which
has launched an extensive effort to
inject more fun in ride lines.
Its a trend that has surged in
the last year, with new examples
for interactive queues opening up
at Florida and Southern California
theme parks including Disneyland,
Universal Studios Hollywood and
Six Flags Magic Mountain. The
queues feature videos, interactive
games and animatronic characters
to entertain waiting riders.
At some parks, jugglers and other
entertainers are dispatched where
lines are extra long.
Attendance for the top 20 major
theme parks in North America has
grown 7 percent from 2007 to 2012,
according to estimates by Aecom, a
Los Angeles engineering and con-
sulting rm.
Because of the growing crowds,
theme park insiders say, the average
visitor has time for only nine or 10
rides per day. That means a lot of
time is spent standing in lines.
One of the rst efforts by theme
parks to address long lines came as
early as 1999 when Disney parks
introduced the Fastpass, which lets
park visitors return to a ride at a
scheduled time to use a shorter
line. The idea of virtual queuing
was eventually introduced at other
parks such as Six Flags, which offers
guests the Flash Pass. The passes
are free.
Visitors who are willing to pay
extra can buy front-of-the-line or
VIP passes at most theme parks to
get access to shorter lines.
For everyone else, the lines are
still long but, in some cases, more
entertaining.
Disney World in Orlando has
been adding games and other dis-
tractions to the lines for several
years. But some of the most elabo-
rate entertainment has been added
in the last two years as new rides
are installed or old attractions are
renovated.
When the opportunity presents
itself, we will add an interactive
queue, MacPhee said.
In the line for the Haunted
Mansion, guests can touch grave-
stones that play music or squirt
water.
In the line for the Many
Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, vis-
itors can use their hands to write on
a wall of simulated dripping honey
or play music on plastic pumpkins
and watermelons.
The distractions were vital on a
recent summer day when the wait
time for the Winnie the Pooh ride
was more than an hour.
Kelly Ferreri, who travels from
Pennsylvania to Disney World every
year with her family, watched her
three children, ages 1, 3 and 6, play
with the pumpkins and honey wall
as she waited in line.
Its denitely benecial, she
said of the games. It keeps kids
entertained for all the time that
they would be standing in line. Its
beautiful.
In Southern California, rid-
ers of the new Transformers: The
Ride-3D at Universal Studios
Hollywood line up in an indoor
area that resembles a military
compound and watch videos that
explain their mission during the
ride. Guests are told they must keep
the powerful AllSpark from fall-
Amusement park
operators are com-
ing up with an array
of diversions for
customers to while
away the minutes
in the seemingly
endless lines for
the attractions.
Television screens
and voiceovers by
comedians are part
of the program.
Six flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita, California, is adding entertainment elements, such as flat screen videos and interactive
games, to lengthy queues in a bid to ease the wait. With theme park lines only getting longer, parks across the U.S. are investing big
money to make wait times less boring.

each others moves in set-
ting prices and adding new
fees. They even bully each
other out of offering sales.
For instance, on April 18,
United Airlines increased
its fee for changing a reser-
vation from $150 to $200.
Like lemmings, American,
Delta Air Lines and US
Airways all matched the
higher fee within two
weeks. Even JetBlue, which
has largely resisted fees,
increased its change fee by
50 percent.
In the past, passengers
might have balked at such
fees and boycotted a par-
ticular airline. Today, they
have no choice but to pay
because of fewer options.
The airlines instituted
many of the fees in 2008,
when the price of fuel spiked
46 percent and the Great
Recession sharply curtailed
travel.
Fuel prices are slightly
lower today and travelers
have returned to the skies.
But airlines rely even more
heavily on fees as a source of
revenue, while increasingly
catering to the highest-pay-
ing customers.
Airlines have taken their
newfound prots and rein-
vested in new airplanes.
That has led to some
improvements for passen-
gers, most notably individu-
al TV screens and Wi-Fi.
But those features really
just distract iers from the
realities of modern air trav-
el: no pillows or blankets,
less legroom and no hot
meals.
At the same time, those
fare wars that once allowed
families to sneak away for a
cheap vacation are quickly
disappearing.
To deter aggressive dis-
counting, the airlines have
set up mutually-assured-
destruction mechanisms
known as cross-market ini-
tiatives.
If one airline discounts
fares on a route that is
highly protable for another
airline, the affected com-
petitor often responds with
discounts in another market
that hurts the rst airline.
In the fall of 2009, US
Airways lowered fares to
Philadelphia on ights
from Detroit, an extremely
protable hub for Delta.
In turn, Delta lowered its
fares between Washington
and Boston, one of the
more protable routes for
US Airways. The message
was heard, and US Airways
quickly bailed on its Detroit
sale.
The big airlines are all
now playing by the same
rule book: They are keeping
planes full, cutting unprot-
able ights to small towns
and not encroaching on the
other guys territory.
And all of this has
occurred while American
and US Airways were sepa-
rate companies.

From that, were able to
successfully administer
credit.
Experts said its too
early to tell whether
social media data can
actually predict whether
a person will default on
a loan. For that reason,
U.S. commercial banks
may be slow to adapt the
practice.
The jurys still out,
said Robert Stine, a
Wharton statistics pro-
fessor who studies credit
scoring. Its very new.
It takes a long time to
gure out whats going
to be predictive in credit
scoring.
Stine and others said
borrowers could game
the system by collect-
ing connections on
LinkedIn, followers on
Twitter and friends on
Facebook.
Until the three major
credit bureaus get on
board with the use of
social media connec-
tions, the potential is
questionable, said Chris
Kraft, chief executive
of Splash Media, an
Addison social media
marketing rm.
I remain very curious
but not convinced this
is a viable concept, he
said.
Two of the bureaus,
Experian and
TransUnion, arent using
social media in their
methods.
But Clifton ONeal,
spokesman for
TransUnion, said the
bureau is constantly
looking for new, alterna-
tive data sources that
can add value in deter-
mining credit risk.
But he added, At
this time, TransUnion
believes that there are
many other data sourc-
es/elements that might
provide a clearer picture
of a consumers risk
level, e.g. utility informa-
tion, mobile phone and
rental payment informa-
tion.

Given the way social
media have changed the
world, I wouldnt be sur-
prised if the method was
eventually adopted.

Guest satisfaction is
very important to us and
we want to entertain our
guests from the moment
they enter the ride queue,
said Larry Kurzweil, presi-
dent of Universal Studios
Hollywood.
At Six Flags Magic
Mountain in Valencia, the
park recently installed a
16-by-9-foot screen over
the queuing area of the
newest ride, Full Throttle.
Visitors are shown a
25-minute video of extreme
sports, such as bungee
jumping and mountain bik-
ing.
Starting this summer,
Six Flags Entertainment
Corp. also launched an
interactive game similar
to Whack-A-Mole that visi-
tors can play on television
screens, using their cell
phones as game control-
lers.
The game is available
at all of its 16 parks in the
U.S., including Six Flags
Magic Mountain.
It is something that
drives engagement and
overall makes for a better
experience, said David
McKillips, senior vice
president for corporate alli-
ances at Six Flags.

Ofce etiquette is evolving thanks to technology
Q: Since taking a new
job, I have been appalled
by my colleagues disre-
spectful behavior in meet-
ings. Most of them bring
laptops and type con-
tinuously while others are
talking. I initially believed
they were taking notes,
but soon discovered that
they are actually working
on other things.
Cell phones are also
a problem, with people
constantly texting and
taking calls. In one meet-
ing, the leader responded
to instant messages while
her computer screen was
on display for everyone to
see. All this extraneous
activity is extremely dis-
tracting.
When I attend meetings,
I leave my laptop on my
desk, silence my phone,
and return calls afterward.
However, since I am mid-
dle-age, perhaps my ways
are just old-fashioned.
What do you think?
A: While common
courtesy never goes out
of style, the denition of
appropriate behavior does
evolve over time. Children
are still expected to use
proper table manners, for
example, but are no longer
required to remain silent
during meals. Because
workplace norms also
shift, your question does
not have a simple answer.
To demonstrate respect,
meeting participants
should be expected to give
their full attention to the
person who is speaking.
Using a laptop or tablet
for note-taking or locating
relevant information is
perfectly OK, but work-
ing on unrelated tasks is
unquestionably rude.
That said, however,
there is a distinct and
growing generational
divide regarding technol-
ogy. Younger people, who
grew up surrounded by
multiple communication
devices, tend to be less
offended by electronic
multi-tasking. For them,
simultaneous talking
and texting is a common
occurrence.
Older colleagues should
try to understand that
split attention does not
necessarily indicate inten-
tional disrespect by their
juniors. At the same time,
millennials have to realize
that texting or emailing
during meetings with
senior managers could be
a career-killer.
To prevent mispercep-
tions, leaders need to
establish clear ground
rules for the use of elec-
tronics in meetings. They
should also be sure to
invite only people who
really need to attend.
Otherwise, some partici-
pants may multi-task sim-
ply to make better use of
their time.
Q: After a bout with
bronchitis, one of our
co-workers developed a
chronic cough. Monica
has lengthy coughing ts
two or three times a day
and sometimes sounds
like she is choking. We
tried giving her cough
drops, but that didnt
help. Her doctor says this
problem is normal and
temporary.
Several customers have
asked whether Monica is
contagious, which appar-
ently she is not. However,
since we are concerned
about customer percep-
tions, we would like
Monica to go into the
restroom whenever she
has an attack. How can we
suggest this without hurt-
ing her feelings?
A: Even though your
request is not unreason-
able, being banished to
the bathroom by co-work-
ers might cause Monica
to react defensively. So
to avoid unnecessary
conict, try asking man-
agement to deliver this
message. If Monicas boss
will agree to talk with her,
that should take care of
the problem. But if not,
at least this is one issue
that should eventually be
resolved by the passage of
time.

SHRINKING GROWTH
Investors have returned to
stock mutual funds this year,
but theyre still a little leery of
ones that invest in growth
stocks. Investors yanked $2.1
billion last month out of funds
that invest in large-cap growth
stocks, like Google (GOOG) or
Amazon.com (AMZN). It
continues a streak that has
held for much of 2013:
Investors have pulled a net
$12.6 billion out of the
category. They have been
more interested in funds that
invest in value stocks, like
banks and dividend payers, or
at least funds that invest in a
mix of value and growth stocks.

Who he is: Senior analyst, China
Market Research Group
Outlook: Yum Brands operates in
a changing Chinese market
Interviewed by Candice Choi.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
James Roy
KFCs parent company Yum
Brands suffered a setback in China
last month after a streak of sales
declines. The fast-food company
is trying to get back on its feet
following a bird flu scare and an
earlier controversy over its chicken
supply. Its performance in China is
critical, considering the company
raked in more than half its sales
from the region last year. Analysts
have been keeping tabs on the
units monthly sales figures ever
since Yum lowered its earnings
outlook for the year. In July, Yum
said sales were down 13 percent,
worse than the 10 percent in June.
China Market Research Group
senior analyst James Roy explains
the other challenges facing Yum,
which also owns Pizza Hut.
How has the perception of KFC in
China changed?
The perceptions of KFC have taken
a negative turn since the end of
last year. The supplier controversy
started creating worries about the
health and safety of KFCs chicken,
which was followed by the avian flu
scare earlier this year. It really put
a dent in trust of the KFC brand.
People dont view it as the safe
fast-food option that it used to be.
The companys also dealing with
a growing lack of trust overall and a
shift away from the lower fast-food
price point. People are either not
going out as much or trading up to
higher-priced options.
Do American chains still have an
advantage over local chains?
The advantage that U.S. fast-food
chains had was their broad appeal
throughout China, whereas Chinese
cuisine is much more specific
and regional. Until recently, there
was also the perception that the
standards of local chains were not
up to the standards of U.S. chains.
But that perception has pretty much
gone away.
Yum says its focusing more
on Pizza Huts growth in the
country. How has that chain been
affected?
The perceptions of KFC dont really
spill over to Pizza Hut. Theres not
a wide awareness that theyre from
the same company. Pizza Hut is a
lot more premium. Its viewed as a
much nicer restaurant for families or
dates.
Who are KFCs biggest competi-
tors?
There are a lot of new players.
Chiefly its McDonalds, but it
depends on the city. There are
local chains that are really large as
well, including a Taiwanese chain
that started almost as a direct copy
of KFC.
Yum says it expects sales to
improve over the year and turn
positive in the fourth quarter. Do
you see that happening?
It wouldnt be too surprising if they
do better than they did earlier this
year, given the big hits they took.
I dont see them returning to the
same levels of growth as in the
past. The fact of the matter is that
the market has changed.

Americans are cutting back on soft drinks and its not
just because of the sugar.
U.S. soda sales have been declining
since 2005, including diet sodas, and
there arent any signs of a turnaround.
Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Dr Pepper
Snapple all sold less soda in the second
quarter compared with a year earlier.
That was despite a spate of new
advertising and lower-calorie drinks the
companies have been rolling out. Coca-
Cola even started airing ads addressing
criticism that its drinks make people fat.
But the concerns go beyond weight
gain. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are seeing their diet soft
drinks decline faster than regular soft drinks. Thats
possibly a sign of a growing concern about
the safety of artificial sweeteners.
Options in the beverage aisle are grow-
ing, especially energy and sports drinks.
Monster Beverage has enjoyed a great
run, but has been slowed in the last year
by regulatory issues and litigation about its
Monster Energy drink. Monster is among
the companies boosting sales by selling
other types of drinks, such as teas, and
expanding into emerging markets where
people dont yet drink as much soda.

The economy is finally showing stronger signs of recovery.
The housing market continues to improve. The
number of workers applying for unemployment benefits
fell last week to the lowest level since October 2007, a
sign that layoffs are slowing. Manufacturing expanded
last month at its fastest pace in two years.
The stronger economy should lead to higher revenue
growth for companies, something thats been tough to
produce in recent years. Revenue for companies in the
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 0.7 percent last quarter
from a year earlier, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Next year, the accelerating economy should mean 5.4
percent revenue growth for the S&P 500, Goldman Sachs
predicts. This screen shows stocks that the investment
bank says could see some of the biggest benefits from a rise in revenue. A
greater proportion of their costs are fixed, which means that more of any
revenue increase will flow through to their bottom lines.

10-Year Treasury yield climbs
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note continued
to climb amid speculation that the Federal Reserve
could slow its bond-buying stimulus later this year.
The yield reached 2.79 percent Thursday, its
highest level since July 2011. Average rates on
fixed mortgages remained steady for a second
straight week, with the 30-year loan unchanged at
4.40 percent.

Screening isnt perfect, though.
Remember that it should just be a
first step. Youll still need to study
each contender carefully. You may
have screened for four measures,
but each investment has many
more measures to assess. Some
considerations are qualitative, too,
and thus hard or impossible to
screen for. These include manage-
ment, brand strength, competitive
position, industry characteristics
and CEO hairstyles.
Meanwhile, screening depends
on the accuracy of the underlying
data. Even good numbers can
be problematic, since accounting
rules permit manipulation of earn-
ings, revenues and other measures.
Screening can also cause you to miss
an otherwise excellent investment
that misses the mark on just one of
your criteria, perhaps by a smidge.
So be flexible and tweak your
settings when screening.
Screening can also get you looking
at unfamiliar companies and indus-
tries in which you possibly should
never invest (such as biotechnology,
if you dont understand the science
behind it).
Give screening a whirl. Youll
find free screeners at sites such as
caps.fool.com/Screener.aspx and

The Motley Fool Take
Dont Panic Over
Coachs Plunge
Shares of handbag and accessory
specialist Coach (NYSE: COH) fell
almost 10 percent recently, after the
luxury-goods maker reported under-
whelming earnings, with revenue for
the fiscal year up 6 percent over year-
ago levels and earnings per share
up 2 percent. Key concerns include
weakness in North American sales,
along with the departure of several
top executives, including the CEO.
Dont write the company off,
though, as it still has a lot going for
it. For starters, it has a strong global
brand name, giving the company
pricing power. In its last quarter,
international sales rose 7 percent
year over year to $386 million, or
a 17 percent increase on a constant
currency basis. Coachs China opera-
tions grew a whopping 35 percent.
The companys new CEO will be
Victor Luis, who has led Coachs
successful international division.
Coachs history of rewarding share-
holders through dividends and share
repurchases is also appealing. The
stock recently yielded 2.5 percent,
and the company has increased its
dividend by 13 percent over the past
year and by more than fourfold over
the past four years.
Still, Coach has some work to do
revitalizing its business. It plans to
focus on North American sales and
on its outlets. Patient investors might
consider accessorizing their portfolios
with Coach stock. (The Motley Fool
owns shares of Coach and its news-
letters have recommended it.)

My Smartest Investment
Slow and Steady
In 1982, I began putting $97 per
month in a tax-sheltered annuity
(TSA) and continued to do so until
1996. Part of the contribution went
into guaranteed interest, but most
went into the stock market. My aim
was to build a fund that could be
used to add a glassed-in porch to
my house and to restore an antique
automobile. The porch is in place,
the restoration underway, and
withdrawals have also been used to
cover other expenses. W.E.C.,
Columbia, S.C.
The Fool Responds: Many
403(b) retirement-savings accounts
are referred to as TSAs because they
initially permitted investments only
in annuities. These plans, available to
many education and non-profit work-

The ABCs of VCs
Q
What are venture capitalists?
A.J.S., Cincinnati
A
Venture capitalists pool their
money and invest in fledgling
companies, sometimes specializing
in certain industries or areas, such
as computer-related technology or
biotechnology.
A venture capitalist (VC)
firm will typically enter the scene
well before a company gets to the
initial public offering (IPO) stage,
helping the company grow via
funding and guidance, usually in
exchange for a large percentage of
the company. The hope is that once
the company grows to a certain
point, it will go public and the ven-
ture capitalists can cash out, mak-
ing a very tidy profit.
Famous VC firms include
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
which has funded companies such
as AOL, Amazon.com, Facebook,
Google and Intuit. Andreessen
Horowitz, another, seeded Instagram
and Pinterest, among other outfits.

Q
Is there any reason why I might
want to have multiple IRA
accounts? D.E., Tampa, Fla.
A
Well, you might open a
traditional or Roth IRA
with a regular brokerage so you
can invest in individual stocks
through it. (Learn more about
brokerages at broker.fool.com.)
Meanwhile, you might open
another IRA with a mutual fund
company, if its the best way
for you to invest in a particu-
lar fund (some funds are not
available through brokerages). Also,
if you change jobs, you might roll
over money from your 401(k) into
a new IRA so that you can manage
that money separately.
It generally doesnt matter
if you have multiple accounts.
Just know that most folks face
a contribution limit for 2013
of $5,500 ($6,500 for those 50 or
older), and thats all you can con-
tribute in total its not
the limit per account. Learn
more about IRAs at fool.com/

Find Gems
via Screening
You can wait for great investing
ideas to come to you, perhaps via
your reading or hot stock tips from
friends, or you can go hunting for
ideas on your own. Screening can be
a big help with that.
When you screen, you simply set
parameters describing what youre
looking for and then click a button
for the results. You might, for exam-
ple, seek companies in the S&P 500
with dividend yields above 3 percent,
earnings expected to grow at 10 per-
cent or more annually, profit margins
of 10 percent or more, and/or price-
to-earnings (P/E) ratios below 20.
By screening, you reduce a large
field of companies to a more man-
ageable group that meet your criteria.
(You can even screen for mutual
funds.) Screening prevents you from
wasting time on companies that
dont fit your preferences and can
also help you discover intriguing
companies that you may not have
otherwise noticed. It can also make
you think more clearly about your
investing style, as it forces you to
hone your parameters.

U.S. temp workforce highest on record
Mary McCarty
Dayton Daily News
DAYTON, Ohio Seven
years ago, Larry Mayham
earned $13 an hour, often
working 60 to 70 hours
a week as a driver taking
handicapped clients to their
jobs.
Today, he holds a similar
job but as a temporary
worker. He earns $10 an
hour and works less than
30 hours a week. Hes in
constant pain from a tooth
extraction gone bad, but he
cant afford to see a special-
ist.
He goes to the food pan-
try once a month, just to get
by.
Mayham is part of a
growing trend in the
American work force. In
an uncertain economy,
more and more companies
are relying on temporary
workers, who accounted for
about one-fth of private-
sector job growth in Ohio
in 2012, according to fed-
eral labor data. In June, the
U.S. Department of Labor
reported that the nation
has 2.7 million temp work-
ers, the highest number on
record.
In Ohio, temporary staff-
ing services employed
105,412 people in 2012
compared to 73,757 in
2009, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The average annual pay
for a temp worker in Ohio
was estimated at $22,512
in 2012, with an aver-
age weekly wage of $433.
Thats essentially atlined
since 2007, when tempo-
rary employees averaged an
annual salary of $21,590.
I havent had a raise in six
years, Mayham said.
Some people, like Connie
Adamof Middletown, Ohio,
love the exibility of temp
work because it allows her
to go on more vacations and
manage her own schedule.
In the past, she had worked
her way into a full-time
job through a temp-to-hire
arrangement. My experi-
ences have been mostly
positive, she said. I love
it now, because I can take
time off to spend with my
grandkids. Im not bound
by the companys vacation
schedule.
But others experi-
ence a signicant reduc-
tion in salary, self-esteem
and quality of life. Single
mother Michelle Back of
Bellefontaine, Ohio, cant
afford to buy a home or
provide basic medical care
for her young daughter. It
is a bad time for the work-
er, said Glenn Couch, 64,
of Middletown. You cant
nd work nowhere unless
its at one of these temp
agencies that are popping
up everywhere.
Tom Maher, president
and CEO of Manpower of
Dayton Inc., an employ-
ment agency, believes the
uptick is due to the scar-
city of skilled labor and the
uncertainty about govern-
mental programs, particu-
larly the Affordable Care
Act. Theres still uncer-
tainty about the rules and
regulations under the ACA,
so theres uncertainty about
the pending costs, he said.
Shawn Cassiman, associ-
ate professor of social work
at the University of Dayton,
said that the health-care
law isnt to blame that
the resurgence of the tem-
porary worker is part of
a whole cycle, a long-term
trend that includes a with-
drawal of support from
workers and an attack on
labor unions. Workers
today are less likely to be
represented fairly in the
work force.
She said economists
have described the trend
as the rise of a new precari-
ous class. There are more
and more workers living
precarious lives, not know-
ing when theyre going to
be red, she explained.
McDonalds even talks
about the second job that
employees might need to
make ends meet.

work, but I wish it paid
more, he said. I use 70
percent of my income
just to pay the rent.
Robert Davis, 50, of
West Dayton, walked into
a national temp agency in
Dayton in search of imme-
diate employment. After
a year of work through
the agency, Davis left his
manufacturing job, vowing
to never to do temp work
again. He made $9 an hour
and often worked over-
time, but the negative work
environment outweighed
the paycheck for Davis. He
says his work with chemi-
cals resulted in respira-
tory issues and skin rashes,
and has little means to
pay for treatment. When
(temp agencies) send you
to a place, they pretty
much send you out to the
wolves, he said. I felt like
a piece of cattle.
Now Davis works as a
self-employed mechanic.
You have to make a liv-
ing and you feel like you
have to put up with just
about anything to do that
when youre not a per-
manent worker, he said.

Volvo Saved My Life
My name is Kathy. I am a wife, mother of two beautiful daughters and two golden retrievers. I am also the proud owner of a Volvo!!!! In fact my
family of 4, has 4 Volvos!!! We will never purchase any other brand of automobile. I have a front license plate that reads VOLVO.FOR LIFEand
no truer words could be spoken.
On March 31, 2007 my younger daughter and I were victims of an attempted carjacking. A wanted fugitive was on the loose and a police
pursuit of him was in progress. We were in our Volvo S40 and he came at me head on, side swiped me and then hit me again in the rear with
his Mercedes. He then got out of his vehicle and put a gun to my head!!! I ducked to protect my daughter and he fred the round into my Volvo. I
hit the gas pedal and fed the scene.
My Volvo, by some miracle, even with the damage it sustained got me away from there. His Mercedes was disabled from the impact. My
daughter called 911 and he was fnally apprehended. My car was impounded for 65 days and had $10,000 worth of damage. The state police
told me if I were driving anything else we would have been dead.
They also told us because it was a Volvo they were able to carefully take the interior apart, piece by piece and retrieve the bullet which was
lodged in the heater core intact. One of the ofcers said this bullet would have stopped a moose dead in its tracks, BUT IT DIDNT STOP MY
VOLVO!!!!!
The S40 was our frst Volvo and we still have it. Since that day in March we have purchased 3 more Volvos an XC90, S60 and another S40.
We are an all American family with a house on our cookie cutter lot with two golden retrievers and 4 Volvos proudly parked in our driveway. I
recently picked up a book called Volvo Saved My Life and wanted to tell my story.

Hotel Sterlings empty sky.
Empty sky needs more
than pregnant pause
Now that the Hotel Sterling has
become, in the words of Bruce
Springsteen, Empty Sky, its time for
political, business and civic leaders to
end the silence on what comes next.
The lack of real discussion so far has
been discouraging at best. Its certainly
understandable that the future of the
prime lot would take a back seat while
demolition was arranged and executed,
but considering the prominence of the
locale, the silence has been deafening.
And if power brokers and decision
makers dont start offering proposals
soon, the silence will start to sound
downright conspiratorial. The longer
there is no public discussion about
what replaces the Sterling, the more
the public will suspect all the talking is
going on behind closed doors.
Plenty of possibilities have been
tossed out in recent weeks, usually by
average citizens with no real say in the
nal decision. Youve probably heard
them at bars or park benches, you may
have offered one yourself.
A public park, another hotel, a retail
center (at least on the ground oor),
a visitors center, a museum including
homage to the lost hotel Anything,
most agree, except a parking lot or
garage.
Yet we hear nothing from those who
may have serious sway. Nothing from
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton or
city council, nothing from the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business
and Industry, nothing from promi-
nent business people who may have a
professional stake in what rises from
the rubble (like Gus Genetti or Judd
Shoval), nothing from the leaders of
Kings College or Wilkes University -
two institutions that bookend the site
and have been successful proponents of
urban renewal of other lots near their
campuses.
While the ultimate answer to what
replaces the Sterling? may rest in a
private developers hands, this is far
too prominent a location to develop
without public debate. It remains both
a key gateway to the city and a part of
a postcard view from the iconic Market
Street Bridge.
Ideas should be oated, input should
be sought, options both conventional
and fanciful should be explored, expert
insight should be solicited.
The plans must not be fashioned in
silence and presented as a fait accom-
pli to the public.
So what happens now?
Lets talk.

OUR OPINION: HOTEL STERLING
OTHER OPINION:
COMMENTARY
Its been a war on justice, an
assault on equal protection under
the law.
And a war on fami-
lies, removing mil-
lions of fathers from
millions of homes.
And a war on
money, spilling it like
water.
And a war on peo-
ple of color, target-
ing them with drone
strike efciency.
We never call it
any of those things,
though all of them t.
No, we call it the War on Drugs. It
is a 42-year, trillion dollar disaster
that has done nothing under-
score that: absolutely nothing to
stem the inexhaustible supply of,
and insatiable demand for, illegal
narcotics. In the process, it has ren-
dered this land of the free the big-
gest jailer on Earth.
So any reason to hope sanity
might assert itself is cause for cel-
ebration. Monday, we got two of
them, a coincidental conuence of
headlines that left me wondering,
albeit, eetingly: Did the War on
Drugs just end?
Well, no. Lets not get carried
away. But it is fair to say two of the
biggest guns just went silent.
Gun 1: In a speech before an
American Bar Association confer-
ence in San Francisco, Attorney
General Eric Holder announced
that federal prosecutors will no
longer charge non-violent, low-
level drug offenders with offenses
that fall under mandatory mini-
mum sentencing guidelines. Those
Kafkaesque rules, you may recall,
got Kemba Smith, a college student
with no criminal record, sentenced
to almost 25 years without parole
after she carried money for her
abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend.
Gun 2: A federal judge ruled
New York Citys stop-and-frisk
policy unconstitutional. The tactic
empowered cops to search anyone
they deemed suspicious, no proba-
ble cause necessary. Unsurprisingly,
84 percent of those stopped were
black or Hispanic, according to the
Center for Constitutional Rights, a
civil rights group, which says ille-
gal drugs or weapons were found in
less than 2 percent of the searches.
Michelle Alexander wrote the
book on the drug war literally.
The New Jim Crow documents
in painful, painstaking detail how
policies like these have been direct-
ed disproportionately against com-
munities of color with devastating
effect. She told me via email that
Mondays headlines leave her cau-
tiously optimistic they reect
an emerging national consensus
that war on certain communi-
ties dened by race and class has
proved to be both immoral and irra-
tional, wasting billions of dollars
and countless lives.
But, she warned, tinkering with
the incarceration machine is not
enough. These are important rst
steps, but only that. Shed like to
see the resources that have been
wasted in this war redirected to
help the communities it decimated.
We can only hope. At the very
least, Mondays headlines suggest
maybe a sea change is underway.
Maybe were ready to stop using
criminal justice tools to solve a
public health problem. Maybe were
ready to end this War.
Its about time. Indeed, it is past
time. Our stubborn insistence on
these foolish, unworkable policies
has left families bereft, communi-
ties devastated, cops and bystand-
ers dead, money wasted, foreign
governments destabilized, distrust
legitimized and justice betrayed.
We call it a War on Drugs. Truth
is, drugs are about the only thing it
hasnt hurt.

Columnist
President Obama last week made
welcome promises to bring transpar-
ency into the NSAs cyber-surveillance
programs. What he failed to do, howev-
er, is promise to actually stop the NSA
from snooping.
At times, it seemed that former
constitutional law professor Barack
Obama, champion of civil liberties,
was engaged in a debate, right there
on the White House podium, with
President Obama, commander-in-chief
and overseer of a vast security system
with a wide reach into the private com-
munications of Americans.
On the one hand, Mr. Obama
expressed sympathy with Americans
who fear U.S.-Big Brother looking
down on you, collecting telephone
records, et cetera.
He proposed four initiatives to pla-
cate critics of the National Security
Agencys extensive communications
intercept programs.
First, he said, he would pursue unde-
ned reforms to Section 215 of the
Patriot Act, which collects telephone
records. He also promised to authorize
a civil-liberties advocate before the
secret court that approves warrants for
intrusive actions; disclosed that NSA is
creating a civil-liberties ofce; and said
he would create a blue-ribbon panel to
examine our entire intelligence and
communication technologies.
All of these are good ideas.
But there was precious little indica-
tion of real and effective change in the
programs that have raised all the priva-
cy concerns. Facing a challenging ques-
tion, Mr. Obama suddenly switched to
his commander-in-chief hat:
When I looked through specically
what was being done, my determina-
tion was that the two programs in par-
ticular that had been at issue, 215 and
702, offered valuable intelligence that
helps us protect the American people,
and theyre worth preserving, he said.
Bottom line: Expect more transpar-
ency in the cyber-surveillance pro-
grams, but dont expect any substan-
tive changes.
Mr. Obamas soothing words are not
going to satisfy anyone who fears the
reach of the governments spying pro-
grams, nor should they.
The government wants the unquali-
ed right to intercept all communi-
cations its computers can snare and
examine all those believed to be suspi-
cious in secret, and apparently with-
out regard to the Fourth Amendments
requirement of probable cause.
Thats the heart of the issue, and one
Mr. Obama is apparently unwilling to
touch. That leaves it up to Congress to
go further.
One way would be to limit, or do
away with altogether, the immunity
that Congress itself granted to commu-
nications companies to protect them
from lawsuits by consumers who want-
ed their privacy safeguarded.
The result is that these companies
have no incentive to refuse to comply
with any government order, even one
that might violate privacy rights.
Changing that would give the com-
panies a stake in preserving the pri-
vacy of the public, which might make
the government think twice before
demanding private information it may
not be entitled to.
The events of 9/11 made Americans
more conscious about the need for
security and protection against terror-
ism. But the 9/11 Commission warned
of the need to safeguard civil liberties
while protecting the homeland.
This shift of power and authority to
the government calls for an enhanced
system of checks and balances to pro-
tect the precious liberties that are vital
to our way of life, the commission
declared.
Today, when Americans have learned
a lot about the extent of cyber-surveil-
lance of their private communications,
the commissions prescient warning is
even more meaningful than it was a
decade ago.

Take security reforms
a fewsteps further
In 1982 I wandered into The
Times Leader newsroom as a corre-

me way back when. The lesson? Take
a chance on people.
Rich Connor was editor and pub-
lisher at the time I published my
rst movie review. In the middle of
the newsroom after publication he
mentioned aloud that he didnt agree
with my opinion. Thats OK, he
added. You keep on going. His off-
hand comment was carte blanche to
give me the condence to express
an honest opinion for years to come.
The lesson? Encouraging words have
power.
Catherine McMahon, shortly after
I was hired: If youre going to use a
word like pachyderm you damn well
better know how to spell it. Lesson?
Humbling words have power.
Dale Duncan, City Editor (and
later executive editor and publisher),
loudly: This is a daily newspaper.
Lesson? Get it rst and get it right.
Allison Walzer, Editor and mentor:
Its OK to tell an angry caller that
maybe we made a mistake. Lesson?
Admitting were human diffuses
anger.
Businessman Albert Boscov on the
opening night of the Kirby Center,
tidying up the mauled refreshments
in the lobby as the curtain was about
to rise: Nothing smells worse, he
smiled. Lesson? Even powerful and
inuential people lead by example.
The late jazz trumpeter Miles
Davis, who I was able to interview
prior to his performance at the Kirby
Center: Thats a stupid question,
he snorted in our phone interview.
Lesson? Dont be starstruck; it was a
fair question.
ManagingEditor Cliff Schechtman,
nudging me from writer to editor,
his words echoing to this day: Been
there. Done that. Lesson? Take a
chance.
Allison Walzer, again: Try to get
one great thing in the paper every
day. Lesson? Aspire.
Chris Ritchie, Assistant Managing
Editor/Development when I became
an assigning editor: Your day will be
lled with decisions. Lesson? Listen
to experience.
Deb Withey, a Times Leader
staff artist who went on to become
a world class newspaper designer
(and architect of the TL redesign in
2000): Design supports content.
Lesson? Listen to experience.
Mark Contreras, the third publish-
er in my time here: Dont put off dif-
cult decisions. Lesson? Decisions
dont get easier as they get older.
The late Bill Grifth, Managing
Editor : Go get me some cigarettes
and lottery tickets. The lesson?
If you say it in a gruff voice young
reporters move faster.
Grifth, again. reaching in front of
a reporter and hitting the keyboard
Period goes here. The lesson? Stop
messing around and nish the story.
Walzer, again. Stick a fork in it.
The lesson? Stop messing around
and nish the story.
Sports writer Jerry Kellar, who
died in 2007: Tell me Walzer isnt
coming back.
Kellar was one of a few staff mem-
bers who feared the strong-willed
Walzer would return to the paper.
The lesson? Reporters always com-
plain and everyone worries about
things that never happen.
Kellar, by the way, was also the
most wickedly funny person in the
newsroom and also had the biggest
heart, which he often hid behind that
sharp humor.
The late Columnist Hank Pearson,
one of the best newspaper writers in
my time, blurting out in the news-
room, apropos of nothing: Is it OK
to call Rosalind Russell a jar head?
The lesson? The newsroom can be
a dark and funny and strangely enter-
taining place and 97 percent should
stay in the newsroom, not the paper.
Many people offered lessons in
their daily work as much as words.
Ed Ackerman, Editor of our week-
ly, The Sunday Dispatch: The lesson
of community and endless optimism.
Times Leader Feature Writer
Mary Therese Biebel: No matter how
onerous the assignment she routine-
ly picked up the phone and immedi-
ately made calls.
Staff reporters fromthe late Marita
Lowman, to Mary Ellen Alu, Sue
Snyder and Jen Learn Andes - and a
dozen others - all shared a basic qual-
ity: Good reporters ask lots of ques-
tions.

Presidential actions
destroyvalue of laws
As a reaction to the crack epidemic of
the 1980s, many federal drug laws carry
strict mandatory sentences. This has
stirred unease in Congress and sparked
a bipartisan effort to revise and relax
some of the more draconian laws.
Traditionally meaning before
Barack Obama thats how laws were
changed: We have a problem, we hold
hearings, we nd some new arrange-
ment, ratied by Congress and signed
by the president.
That was then. On Monday, Attorney
General Eric Holder, a liberal in a hurry,
ordered all U.S. attorneys to sim-
ply stop charging nonviolent,
non-gang-related drug defendants
with crimes that, while tting
the offense, carry mandatory
sentences. Find some lesser, non-
triggering charge. How might
you do that? Withhold evidence
e.g., about the amount of dope
involved.
In other words, evade the law,
by deceiving the court if nec-
essary. If the companies that
I represent in federal criminal
cases did that, said former Deputy
Attorney General George Terwilliger,
they could be charged with a felony.
But such niceties must not stand in
the way of an administrations agen-
da. Indeed, the very next day, it was
revealed that the administration had
unilaterally waived Obamacares cap on
a patients annual out-of-pocket expens-
es a one-year exemption for selected
health insurers that is nowhere permit-
ted in the law. It was simply decreed
by an obscure Labor Department regu-
lation.
Which followed a presidentially
directed 70-plus percent subsidy for the
insurance premiums paid by congress-
men and their personal staffs under
a law that denies subsidies for anyone
that well-off.
Which came just a month after the
administrations equally lawless sus-
pension of one of the cornerstones of
Obamacare: the employer mandate.
Which followed hundreds of
Obamacare waivers granted by
Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius to selected business-
es, unions and other well-lobbied, very
special interests.
Nor is this kind of rule-by-decree
restricted to health care. In 2012,
the immigration service was ordered
to cease proceedings against young
illegal immigrants brought here
as children. Congress had refused to
pass such a law (the DREAM Act) just
18 months earlier.
Obama himself had repeatedly
said that the Constitution forbade
him from enacting it without Congress.
But with the fast approach of an
election that could hinge on the
Hispanic vote, Obama did exactly that.
Unilaterally.
The point is not what you think
about the merits of the DREAM Act.
Or of mandatory drug sentences.
Or of subsidizing health care premi-
ums for $175,000-a-year members of
Congress. Or even whether you think
governors should be allowed to
weaken the work requirements
for welfare recipients an
authority the administration
granted last year in clear violation
of section 407 of the landmark
Clinton-Gingrich welfare reform
of 1996.
The point is whether a presi-
dent, charged with faithfully
executing the laws that Congress
enacts, may create, ignore, sus-
pend and/or amend the law at
will. Presidents are arguably
permitted to refuse to enforce laws
they consider unconstitutional
(the basis for so many of George W.
Bushs so-called signing statements).
But presidents are forbidden from
doing so for reason of mere policy
the reason for every Obama violation
listed above.
Such gross executive usurpation dis-
dains the Constitution. It mocks the
separation of powers. And most conse-
quentially, it introduces a fatal instabil-
ity into law itself. If the law is not what
is plainly written, but is whatever the
president and his agents decide, whats
left of the law?
Whats the point of the whole legisla-
tive process of crafting various pro-
visions through give-and-take negotia-
tion if you cannot rely on the fixity
of the final product, on the assurance
that the provisions bargained for by
both sides will be carried out?
Consider immigration reform.
The essence of any deal would be
legalization in return for strict bor-
der enforcement. If some such legisla-
tive compromise is struck, what con-
dence can anyone have in it if the
president can unilaterally alter what he
signs?
Yet this president is not only untrou-
bled by what hes doing, but open and
rather proud. As he tells cheering
crowds on his never-ending campaign-
style tours: I am going to do X and
Im not going to wait for Congress.
Thats caudillo talk. Thats banana
republic stuff. In this country, the presi-
dent is required to win the consent of
Congress rst.
At stake is not some constitutional
curlicue. At stake is whether the laws
are the law. And whether presidents get
to write their own.

Time for real self refection
Greek mythology says that
Narcissus was so in love with his
own reection, he died staring
at it. I wonder sometimes,
when I see people on their
cell phones or PDAs, if were
not in danger of a similar
fate.
Last week, a man allegedly
shot and killed his wife, took
a photo of the grisly body,
then posted it on Facebook
along with a farewell to his
public.
Im going to prison or
death sentence for killing
my wife, he posted, love
you guys miss you guys take
care Facebook people you will see
me in the news.
He then turned himself in to
police.
Meanwhile, a week earlier, an
Alabama TV reporter was red
after she posted a list of confes-
sions to her personal blog. Among
these confessions? That she has
gone bra-less on the air, that her
best sources are the ones who
secretly have a crush on her, that
positive news depresses her, that
she is afraid of old people and
refuses to do stories about them.
And, If you ramble and I deem
you unnecessary for my story, Ill
stop recording but let you think
otherwise.
She actually took the post down
briey, then put it back up proudly,
saying she believes in free speech.
Yet she wonders why she was
red.
Now, these two cases are hard-
ly equal, yet they illustrate how
we live on the Internet. Today, it
seems more important to ensure
that cyberspace strangers know
what were doing than to follow
what common sense or
common decency dic-
tates.
So the man who allegedly
murdered his wife, Derek
Medina, told the world in his
note that she had been abu-
sive to him, as if that might
explain why he shot her mul-
tiple times, as he later told
police.
Medina apparently posted
the photo of his bloodied
wife on Facebook while their
10-year-old daughter was in
the house. He calls himself a pro-
fessional writer, at least on his
website (and of course, he has a
website) where he cites his books,
including one that gives advice on
marital and communication prob-
lems.
You cant make this up.
Meanwhile, the Alabama report-
er, Shea Allen, portrays herself as
a staunch defender of the First
Amendment and refers to herself
proudly as a journalist through
and through. Yet her blog looks
like a glamour page, and her con-
fession that she may have stolen
mail and put it back and that shes
better when I have no idea what
Im talking about isnt the kind of
free speech journalists have fallen
on their swords for over the years.
Both of these cases and
countless others illustrate an
unhealthy relationship with cyber-
space that I fear is sucking more
and more human beings into its
grasp. It is hard to sit with teen-
agers now and actually hold their
gaze. They are all ngers and
screens and lowered eyelids. And
when something awful happens,
the rst move seems to be to get
it up on the Internet no mat-
ter who it might hurt or embar-
rass like the recent case of a
Canadian teenager who hanged
herself after a year of torment, fol-
lowing what her parents said was
a gang rape. The alleged attack-
ers posted pictures of the sexual
acts taking place. As if the alleged
attack werent enough, the girl had
to endure the whole world having
access to it.
The perversion of a mind that
would do this type of thing is hard
to imagine at least to most peo-
ple over 25. But then, so is a man
who allegedly murders his wife
then thinks about Facebook post-
ing.
At some point, all this will
explode. At some point, laws will
be made no matter how itchy
they make the First Amendment
because something too hor-
rible, too heinous, too disgusting
will take place.
If nothing happens, if we merely
go on this way, it will mean we
have grown used to a world where
entertaining the masses is our
rst impulse, and staring at our-
selves is our top compulsion, like
Narcissus.
And look at what happened to
him.

YOUR OpiNiON: LETTERS FROM REAdERS
Bill Cosby offers
ideal role model
We are constantly looking for good
examples for our children. A recent
article provided just that in its inter-
view with Bill Cosby.
Consider this.
He made some of the same mis-
takes so many kids are making today.
He quit school in the eleventh
grade, did very little until he woke
up at age 19 and wondered where he
was going.
He didnt like where he saw him-
self; so he joined the Navy.
Four years later he emerged with
a GED. He applies for and wins a
scholarship to Temple University.
He was 23 years old and most of his
classmates were 18.
At this point he realized that some
of the things that he believed he
could accomplish would be worth-
while to others.
He looked at his mediocre grades
and determined to bring them up,
eventually getting As and B+s.
Dreaming of being a teacher,
Bill got his Doctorate in
Education from the University of
Massachusetts.
His thirst for teaching was satis-
ed in many ways, including his work
with childrens programming such as
The Electric Company.
In other words, when he realized
he had hit rock bottom and made
some bad choices, such as quitting
school, he set out to remedy his situ-
ation and work toward realizing his
dream.
I know several local kids who have
quit school. I hope they check the
story where Bill tells it like it was
- admitting to his early mistakes and
detailing the long road that made
him what he is today a wonderful
example for our misguided young
people.
In addition to being an educator
and a cultural icon, Bill Cosby is a
proponent of the oft-quoted state-
ment, Laughter is the best medi-
cine. What more could one ask of
one person?
Im glad he visits our community
from time to time. Welcome, Bill!

Benghazi deaths
still unexplained
Despite the lack of media cover-
age, I believe there is a great need for
answers with regards to Benghazi.
There is a petition which was present-
ed to the House of Representatives
by Col. Dick Brauer Jr. (Ret., USAF
Spec. Ops.)
According to Col. Brauer, the
most important question they need
answered is where the stand down
order came from?
The Special Ops team in Tripoli
would have been champing on the
bit to be dispatched. This is exactly
what they are trained to do.
Col. Brauer feels that command
came from the very top. Was it done
for political reasons? Is that why the
talking points were also changed,
even though it was evident to most
that it was a terror attack?
These petitioners and many other
Americans would love for them to
come clean!
Although it was 10 months
ago and this administration would
love to have it disappear, we should
never forget and push for those
answers.
The families of the fallen deserve
the truth.

Fix the system
with Fair Tax Act
The Senates top tax writers have
promised their colleagues 50 years
worth of secrecy in exchange for
suggestions on what deductions and
credits to preserve in tax reform.
This is the opening sentence
in a piece published by
THE HILL, a Washington DC on-line
newspaper. Re-read that rst sen-
tence.
Our senate is so corrupt its mem-
bers dont want their name connect-
ed with the sordid tax deals they
have made in the past. It cant be
because they would be embarrassed
or ashamed. They are incapable of
such.
They are afraid that we, their vot-
ing constituents, might nd out just
who the corrupt people are and vote
them out.
Many congressmen are so
intoxicated on the power that
comes with the IRS and the tax code
the congress doesnt govern effec-
tively.
This couldnt happen if the FairTax
Act were adopted. This proposed tax
legislation has been before congress
for over 10 years but never even con-
sidered.
With the FairTax there are no loop
holes; absolutely no opportunity for
crooked deals by elected congress-
men. Its passage would annihilate the
IRS too.
Educate yourself about the FairTax.
Contact your congressman; demand
its passage.
The corrupt congress is bringing
our nation to ruin.

Old Testament
speaks of one God
This is in response to Charles
Hatchko of Jenkins Twp., concerning
my recent submission about Christ
being a false prophet. I ask you this
question: If while out on a walk, you
came across God and Jesus standing
in the road and God tells you to walk
to the right while Christ tells you to
go to the left, who will you listen too?
Its clear you would obey Christ, as
your beliefs already show this is your
path. Your statements show only
quotes from the New Testament,
which also tells me that you dont
know much about Gods laws and
what He expects of us as His chil-
dren.
I myself am still learning, but at
least I search for the truth, by read-
ing His original word that He handed
down for all of us to follow.
So, Charles, I present this chal-
lenge to you: prove to me using
the Old Testament, the complete
unchanged version, which is the
basis of all Christian religions, where
God said He would send a son and
allow him to change Gods laws to
suit mans needs.
Christ does not t the descrip-
tion that God gives us, which makes
him a false prophet, or are you
calling God a liar? Then you pass
judgment on me and accuse me of
heresy!
So my friend, my challenge has
been presented and I await your
reply, show me in Gods words that
your beliefs are true, as Christ did
nothing more than scam people away
from our God.
Choose your path wisely and I pray
you choose the right one to take.

Edward Snowden is
now out of his limbo at
Moscows airport, presum-
ably ensconced in some
Russian dacha, wonder-
ing what the next phase of
his young life will bring.
Having spent 30 years in
the intelligence business, I
fervently hope the food is
lousy, the winter is cold,
and the Internet access
is awful. But I worry less
about what happens to this
one man and more about
the damage Snowden has
done and could still do
to Americas long-term
ability to strike the right
balance between privacy
and security.
Ever since Snowden, a
former contractor for the
National Security Agency,
leaked top-secret material
about its surveillance pro-
grams, he and the U.S. gov-
ernment have locked horns
about the nature of those
programs.
But those following
the Snowden saga should
understand two key points.
First, though many things
need to be kept secret in
todays dangerous world,
the line between secret
and not secret is fuzzy
rather than stark, and if the
goal is security, the harsh
truth is that we should often
err toward more secrets
rather than fewer. Second,
despite the grumbling from
Snowden and his admirers,
the U.S. government truly
does make strenuous efforts
not to violate privacy, not
just because it respects pri-
vacy (which it does), but
because it simply doesnt
have the time to read irrel-
evant emails or listen in on
conversations unconnected
to possible plots against
American civilians.
Incidents like the
Snowden affair put my
former colleagues in the
intelligence community in
an impossible position. Yes,
the ofcial explanations
about the virtues of data-
collection efforts can sound
self-justifying and vague.
But theyre still right. I
know rsthand that Gen.
Keith Alexander, the NSA
director, is telling the truth
when he talks about plots
that have been preempted
and attacks that have been
foiled because of intelli-
gence his agency collected.
I know because I was on
the inside, I have long held
security clearances, and I
participated in many of the
activities he describes.
I spent years in the mid-
dle of the effort to identify,
disentangle, and ultimately
attack al-Qaida. We didnt
operate in secrecy because
we were ashamed. We oper-
ated in the dark because
we had to. Al-Qaida and its
afliates study our actions.
They learn from our mis-
takes. America is safer
because weve made a point
of understanding their
methods better than they
understand ours.
I understand the trade-
offs here. But the intel-
ligence community isnt
keeping things from the
American people because
we dont trust them, but
rather because once impor-
tant security information
is out there, anyone can
access it, including those
who would do us harm.
Thats why I nd the
Snowden controversy so
frustrating. I realize many
Americans dont trust their
government. I wish I could
change that. I wish I could
tell people the amazing
things I witnessed during
my 30 years in the CIA, that
Ive never seen people work
harder or more selessly,
that for little money and
long hours, people took it
for granted that their aws
would be scrutinized and
their successes ignored.
But Ive been around long
enough to know that deep-
rooted distrust of govern-
ment is immune to stories
from people like me. The
conspiracy buffs are too
busy howling in protest
at the thought that their
government could uncover
how long they spent on the
phone with their dear aunt.
Let me break this to you
gently. The government is
not interested in your con-
versations with your aunt,
unless, of course, she is a
key terrorist leader. More
than 100 billion emails
were sent every day last
year 100 billion, every
day. In that vast mass of
data lurk a few bits that are
of urgent interest and vast
terabytes of tedium that
are not. Unfortunately, the
metadata (the phone num-
bers, length of contact, and
so forth, but not the con-
tent of the conversations)
that sketch the contours of
a call to your family mem-
ber may fall into the same
enormous bucket of infor-
mation that includes infor-
mation on the next terrorist
threat. As Jeremy Bash, the
former chief of staff of the
CIA, memorably put it, If
youre looking for a needle
in the haystack, you need a
haystack.
Unfortunately, during
the Snowden affair, many
news outlets have spent
more time examining ways
the government could
abuse the information it
has access to while giv-
ing scant mention to the
lengths to which the intel-
ligence community goes to
protect privacy. We have
spent enormous amounts
of time and effort guring
out how to disaggregate
the important specks from
the overwhelming bulk of
irrelevant data.
This is done under tight
and well-thought-out stric-
tures. I witnessed rsthand
the consequences of break-
ing the privacy rules of my
former organization, the
National Counterterrorism
Center. As the centers dep-
uty director, I had to re
people, good people, and
remove others from their
posts for failing to follow
the rules about how infor-
mation could be accessed
and used. It didnt happen
often, and it was never a
malicious attempt to gather
private information. We
had mandatory training
and full-time staffers to
supervise privacy regula-
tions. We used precious
resources to hire lawyers
and civil liberties experts
to oversee our efforts. And
on those few occasions
when we made mistakes,
the punishments were swift
and harsh.
Yes, some things that
are classied probably
dont need to be. That may
undermine public trust and
dilute our ability to protect
the data that really need
protecting. But some things
especially U.S. sources
and methods must be
kept secret. Snowden didnt
offer fresh insight about
a massive policy failure.
Rather, he took upon him-
self the authority to decide
what tradecraft the intel-
ligence community needs
to keep his fellow citizens
safe. Sadly, Snowden has
captured the publics imagi-
nation and attention, and
the governments reaction
now seems too little, too
late and too reactive. But
the intelligence community
always a less sympathet-
ic protagonist than a self-
styled whistle-blower
actually has a good story to
tell about how seriously the
government takes privacy
issues. We should tell it.

sugarloaf Tudor &Commercial buildingonone large lot
Story and photos by Ryan Stowinsky
Advertising Projects Writer
Tis impressive property is really two
properties in one! On one end of this 1.7 acre lot
is a 2,450 square foot brick and stone-sided Tudor
home with 3 bedrooms and 4 baths. On the other
is a 45 by 80 commercial block building that is
currently rented for $1250 per month. Separate
driveways lead to the two buildings.
Two separate detached 2-car garages, one with
a carport are found outside the home. If that
wasnt enough, there is also a 1-car attached ga-
rage! Tasteful, maintained landscaping surrounds
the sides of the home. Te fenced-in backyard
area has a concrete patio area with steps leading
down to an inground pool.
