The $1 million civil penalty
agreed to in a settlement between
UGI-Penn Natural Gas and the
state Public Utility Commission
would be the largest on record
if the commission approves the
deal.
The settlement, which became
public Tuesday when it was led
on the PUCs website, details a
series of incidents that the state
alleges UGI-PNG knew about
and covered up regarding a leak-
ing gas main along a stretch of
Business Route 309 near the
Sheetz gas station in Wilkes-
Barre Township in the spring of
2012.
The 47-page settlement calls
for the gas utility to adhere to a
series of record-keeping, inspec-
tion, pipeline improvement and
reporting requirements, all costs
the company could seek to recov-
er in its next base-rate proceed-
ing, PUC spokeswoman Jennifer
R. Kocher said.
She said parties could argue
against the utility to get back
those costs through rate hikes,
and the commission would take
the matter under consideration.
As for the ne, Kocher noted,

City police believe a
Kingston man used a
4-year-old boy to gain the
trust of a woman
he lured to the
top oor of the
James F. Conahan

allegedly raped her.
It is the second

up a woman at Academy

and drove her to Hanover
Crossings Corporate Park
where he forced her to
perform a lewd sex act
with the boy in the back

Esser has been jailed

who stood near her with a
4-year-old boy.
Esser asked the woman
to go for a walk. She
agreed, telling police she

UNION TWP. Discussions
at Wednesdays Northwest Area
School Board meeting contin-
ued on executing a $3 million
bond issue to nance repairs
throughout the district.
David Payne of PNC Bank
told the school directors it is
possible that by mid-September
an interest rate can be locked
in and Northwest Area bonds
could be on the market. Overall,
Payne said, he has been in con-
tact with ofcials at Standard
& Poors in New York about an
assigned rating for Northwest,
and in response to a question by
director Pete Lanza he speculat-
ed that an interest rate of 3.25 to
3.50 percent might be available.
Payne also projected that,
including nancing expenses,
legal costs and debt service fees,
Northwest will be nancing
$3.2 million.
According to comments by
Payne and Al Melone, district
nancial advisor, debt service on
the bond issue over a period of
17 years will average out to .35
mills in real estate tax increases.
However, Northwest taxpayers
in the rst three years of indebt-
edness could see tax hikes of 1.6
mills in 2014-15 and 2015-16.
For the present budget year,
2013-14, Payne estimated debt
services expenses at $5,000.
Melone said current interest
rates are nancing-friendly and
its just a matter of the people
stepping up and nish the deal.
In advance of receiving a nal
report from Payne, the board
decided to schedule a pub-
lic meeting of the budget and
nance committee at a day and
time next week to be announced
in newspaper advertising.
In other matters:
Superintendent Ron
Grevera said a microwave tower
project is scheduled to begin
next week. It is designed to
improve communications at the
high school and the Huntington
Mills school as well as facilitate
communications with school
buses.
Grevera also said that in accor-
dance with a state Department
of Education decision, the No
Child Left Behind Program has
been suspended.
Over objections by director
Albert Gordon about USAgain
being a for-prot organization,
the board voted to rescind an
agreement with the rm to col-
lect clothing on school property
for recycling purposes.
Student handbooks for the
various grade levels of the dis-
trict were approved, as were
professional and non-profes-
sional staff hirings, including
the retention of Galen Miller as
athletic director.
Bus contractors and route
numbers were accepted as pre-
sented, including a change in
the Shickshinny bus stop to
the municipal building on West
Union Street.
Because of an increasing
awareness of head injuries,
Jennifer Oiler, director of spe-
cial programs, announced that
a seminar on concussions has
been scheduled in accordance
with the start of the new school
year.
Lori Frey of Shickshinny
was introduced as the districts
new food services director.
At a special meeting on July
30, the school directors acted to
retain John Audi as solicitor and
awarded a refrigeration project
at the high school, $25,504,
to Rice Food Equipment and
Consulting Service Inc.

Nanticokes historic
Mill House focus of
preservation societies
NANTICOKE Jerry Hudak, vice
president of the South Valley Chamber of
Commerce, announced at Wednesdays
City Council meeting that the three local
preservation societies will make a joint
effort to begin repairs to the historical Mill
House.
The building houses the ofces for the
Nanticoke Historical Society and the
South Valley Chamber of Commerce. The
two organizations, along with the Mill
Memorial Library will begin to refurbish
the historical Mill House within the next
few months.
Hudak said the preservation societies
also would like to collect some additional
historical items to keep on display at the
Mill House.
Also, Hudak said that once the building
is renovated, it just may attract possible
business to the area, as outsiders will see
that Nanticoke has something of historical
importance to offer, and that it is a good
way to promote the city.
Interested citizens may call the chamber
570- 735-6990.
In other matters, council approved
awarding the demolition contract for Arch
Street to Stell Enterprises in the amount
of $23,000 contingent upon the solicitors
approval.
Council also approved a motion for the
HUD Home Program 2009 grant extension
request. City Clerk Mary Beth Cheshinski
said there is more than $23,000 left of the
grant that must be used by the Oct. 25
deadline if an extension was not granted.
Cheshinski said seven projects have been
completed and that there an additional
seven that are underway. She said several
of the applications were not able to be used
due to factors such as income ineligibility
or incomplete information.
The citys crime watch meeting will take
place on Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Municipal
Building.
The next City Council meeting will be
on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m.
SUSAN BETTINGER
Her Peabody Award-winning Piano Jazz program was heard on National Public Radio
NEW YORK Marian McPartland,
a renowned jazz pianist and host of
the National Public Radio show Piano
Jazz, has died, NPR said Wednesday.
She was 95.
McPartland died of natural causes
Tuesday night at her Port Washington
home on Long Island, said Anna
Christopher Bross, an NPR spokes-
woman.
Over a career that spanned more than
six decades, McPartland became a x-
ture in the jazz world as a talented musi-
cian and well-loved radio personality.
In an interview with The Associated
Press in 2007, the 89-year-old said she
saw no reason to retire.
Retire? Why retire? Ive got a job, Im
making money, and I like what I do. Why
retire? she asked. I think Ill jump out
of a cake, or something.
Born Margaret Marian Turner in
England, she began playing classical
piano at the age of 3. At 17, she was
accepted to the prestigious Guildhall
School of Music. She left in her third
year to play piano with a touring vaude-
ville act to the chagrin of her parents,
who she said were horried, and a
professor who called popular music
rubbish.
During World War II, while playing
for Allied troops with the USO and its
British equivalent, she met her husband,
Chicago cornetist Jimmy McPartland.
He died in 1991.
The couple came to live in New York
in 1953, and McPartland landed a gig
in a trio at the Hickory House, a bus-
tling jazz hub on 52nd Street where
she played intermittently for 10 years,
brushing elbows with such greats as
Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman.
McPartland recorded more than 50
albums for the Concord Jazz label and
played in venues across the country. She
later founded her own label, Halcyon
Records, and her compositions were
recorded by the likes of Tony Bennett
and Peggy Lee, according to NPR.
She also turned her keen ears toward
her contemporaries, writing articles
and essays that immortalized the people
and places of the jazz world in the 1950s
and 60s.
In one essay, included in McPartlands
collected works, Youve Come a Long
Way, Baby (1975), she wrote about her
experiences as a woman trying to break
into the jazz scene in the 50s, striving
to be taken seriously by male musicians
unaccustomed to playing with women.
Once a man stood at the bar watch-
ing me intently, and when the set was
nished he came over and said with a
smile, You know, you cant be a respect-
able woman the way you play piano,
she wrote. For some reason or another,
this struck me as a great compliment.
In 1978, McPartland brought her tal-
ent for composition and status as a jazz
insider to radio, and began hosting the
Peabody Award-winning Piano Jazz.
On the air, she and her guests sat
at separate pianos, reminiscing, ad-
libbing, and playing duets and solos.
She hosted hundreds of jazz profession-
als, including Ray Brown, Susannah
McCorkle and Eddie Palmieri.
Marian was of course the brilliant
artist and beloved icon of public radio,
said Shari Hutchinson, executive pro-
ducer of Piano Jazz.
I was able to work closely with one
of the strongest, most successful, vital,
creative women of her time, someone
who overcame every obstacle and who
pushed through every glass ceiling. I am
deeply saddened at her passing, and at
the same time profoundly joyful she let
me into her life, Hutchinson said.
Charming, energetic, and always
ready for a musical adventure,
McPartland was well-suited to the role
of live radio host. She told the AP in a
2000 interview that she wasnt thrown
off when a guest changed keys in the
middle of a show.
Im not afraid, for the most part, of
anything, she said. Somebody said,
Youre like someone who rides a buck-
ing bronco. Youll ride anything that
comes along.
In 2007, she performed in South
Carolina the premiere of her own sym-
phonic work, A Portrait of Rachel
Carson, inspired by the authors 1962
environmental book Silent Spring.
I cant walk. Im in miserable pain.
But at the piano, I dont feel a thing,
she said during an appearance at a
University of South Carolina master
class before the performance.
McPartland continued to tour and
perform into her 80s, retaining her
fetching and feathery sense of swing,
sage economy and deep appreciation for
essential melodic purity, according to a
Daily Variety review of a Lincoln Center
performance in January 2001.

WILKES-BARRE Two
witnesses called to testify by
Luzerne County prosecutors
Wednesday said they saw kill-
ing suspect Joshua Carlos
Ovalles re shots in the air out-
side 174 S. Grant St. on July 7.
What they didnt see,
Ovalles defense lawyer Peter
Moses got out of them, was
Vaughn Kemp, 24, being fatally
shot.
This case is lled with
holes, Moses said after
District Judge Martin Kane for-
warded an open count of crimi-
nal homicide against Ovalles
to Luzerne County Court.
Joshua Ovalles told me that
he maintains his innocence and
did not do this. His story to me
is supported because no one
saw him shoot Vaughn Kemp.
Assistant District Attorneys
Mary Hanlon Mirabito and
Mamie Phillips called a teenage
boy and Raymond Duval, 22, to
testify against Ovalles. The boy
and Duval were among 25 to
30 people who attended a party
at the South Grant Street house
when Kemp was gunned down.
A Spanish interpreter was
used for the two witnesses due
to their lack of understanding
of English.
The boy said he was inside
the house when he heard gun-
re. He looked out of a second-
oor window and saw a man
holding a pistol and yelling. I
only saw him shooting in the
air, the boy said.
The boy initialed his name
next to Ovalles picture in a
photo array presented to him
by police during an interview
on July 9. Moses later said
Mirabito did not introduce the
photo array as evidence when
prosecutors rested their case.
Duval said he was talking to
a friend in front of the house
when 25 to 30 people walked
out from the backyard. He ran
when Ovalles red rounds in
the air and did not know what
happened to Kemp, he said.
Duval said he told police
Ovalles was wearing a white
sleeveless shirt, contradict-
ing the boys description of
the shooter as wearing a gray
hooded sweatshirt.
(Duval) said when he heard
the gunshot in the air, he
turned and booked it; jumped
in a blue car and took off,
Moses said. He said he never
saw Vaughn Kemp from the
minute he turned and ran he
never saw the victim get shot.
I hope they have better wit-
nesses for trial, Moses noted.
Deputy Coroner Dan Hughes
testied Kemp died of multiple
gunshot wounds.
Ovalles is being
held without bail.
Joshua Ovalles arrives at aWilkes-Barre district judges officeWednesday
morning for a preliminary hearing on criminal homicide charge.

to be tested
Repairs to the portable Market
Street Bridge oodgates that
leaked during record ooding
in 2011 will be tested the week-
end of Sept. 27, county ofcials
learned this week.
Water pressure blew out sec-
tions of the gates rubber gasket
seals on both the Kingston and
Wilkes-Barre sides when the
Susquehanna River rose to a
record height in September 2011.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers has approved the
purchase of new gaskets that
are expected to provide a more
watertight seal when the river
rises above ood stage again.
The gaskets are placed between
the roadway and gate panels.
The Army Corps also is modi-
fying guide plates that hold the
gate panels in place, county
Operational Services Division
Head Christopher Belleman told
County Council in an email this
week.
The guide plates were too long,
causing the bottom panels to sit
up to 3 inches off the ground in
2011, Belleman said.
Thus, there was no compac-
tion actually occurring on the
gasket material due to the weight
of the panels, Belleman said.
This is why the gasket material
was blown out in several loca-
tions during the event.
The test installation will
ensure the panels properly rest
on the roadway, weighing down
the gaskets, he said.
We dont want to wait for
another ood event to nd out
about issues with the closure
structures, Belleman said.
The Army Corps chose the
solution because the agency is
overseeing and funding an esti-
mated $2 million to $3 million in
post-ood damage repair to the
Wyoming Valley Levee and its
supporting components.
At least one eastbound and
westbound trafc lane will
remain open to bridge motor-
ists during the testing, Belleman
said.
The Army Corps has hired Tri-
State Design/KC Construction
Co. of Elkins Park to complete
the oodgate repairs.
The county will keep the old
gaskets until the Army Corps
completes its testing and inspec-
tion of the new ones, Belleman
said. He has stressed the gates
held up during the record ood,
even though water leaking
through them looked very dra-
matic.
Road crews in Kingston and
Wilkes-Barre had to truck in and
dump tons of rock against the
closure panels during the height
of the 2011 ood because the
panels vibrated after the gaskets
blew.
The gates leaked when river
hit record levels in 2011
Luzerne County Council to interview applicants tonight for temporary role
Karen Ceppa-Hirko has withdrawn
her application to fill Walter Griffiths
remaining Luzerne County control-
ler term through the end of the year,
but Carolee Medico Olenginski has
decided to interview for the tempo-
rary assignment.
Ceppa-Hirko withdrew because
Republican Party leaders picked
Medico Olenginski over her to run
for the four-year controller post in
November.
Medico Olenginski also had been
reconsidering because she didnt
want to be accused of receiving an
unfair advantage in the buildup to
the election; an appointment to the
temporary seat would provide public
exposure.
Medico Olenginski said Wednesday
she realized shes the one with the
disadvantage because she entered
the controller race this week while
her Democratic opponent, Michelle
Bednar, has been on the campaign
trail since before the May primary
election.
I dont have a campaign commit-
tee formed, said Medico Olenginski.
I have to regroup and do the best
I can with what I have entering the
campaign so late.
Medico Olenginski, the county pro-
thonotary who is on a forced hiatus,
also said the temporary appointment
would bring her back to work at no
additional cost to taxpayers.
The temporary appointee will be
paid $1,406 every two weeks through
Jan. 3, when the controller elected in
November will take office. Medico
Olenginski already is being paid that
amount to stay home through the end
of the year because county Manager
Robert Lawton decided her services
are no longer needed last September
after the two clashed over her respon-
sibilities under home rule.
Medico Olenginski said she would
have to resign as prothonotary if
county council appoints her to com-
plete Griffiths remaining control-
ler term. This will save taxpayers
money, and council has the chance
to put someone in there who doesnt
need a learning curve, said Medico
Olenginski, who was twice elected
county prothonotary.
But some council members are
expected to have reservations about
putting the Republican controller
contender in the temporary position.
Bednar said the temporary appoin-
tee should be someone who is not
running for the post. I would expect
that the members of County Council
will choose the person with the most
credentials, and I will respect their
decision, Bednar said Wednesday.
A similar concern has come up in
the past. In 2009, former Gov. Ed
Rendell purposefully selected nomi-
nees for three vacant county judge
seats based on their commitment
they would not run for those posts
when their terms were over.
Council will publicly interview six
applicants for the vacant term start-
ing at 6 tonight.
Mountain Top resident Michael
Caravaggio also withdrew, leaving
the following applicants in addi-
tion to Medico Olenginski: Aaron
Kaufer, Kingston; Walter Mitchell,
Bear Creek Village; John Sokolowski,
Plains Township; Peter Gagliardi,
Wilkes-Barre; and Malcolm Hudgeon,
Wilkes-Barre.
If Mitchell is selected, he must
resign as Bear Creek Village mayor
because the home rule charter pro-
hibits the controller from holding
another elected office. Borough offi-
cials would select someone else to
serve as mayor through the end of
the year, Mitchell said. He is running
unopposed as mayor in November and
would start a new term in January.
An interview schedule and resumes
of the applicants have been posted on
the council section of the county web-
site, www.luzernecounty.org. Council
members plan to choose someone at
their Aug. 27 meeting.

Board on
Wednesday unani-
mously voted to
renew the casino
operators license
of Downs Racing LP, the operator of
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains

three-year period, the board said in a news
release.
There was an April 25 public hear-
ing for the license renewal at the Plains
Township Municipal Building at which
Downs Racing operators answered ques-
tions and explained why the license should
be renewed. During the public comment
portion of the event, those speaking did so
in support of the casino.
Since opening in November 2006,
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs has gener-
ated $840 million in tax revenue through
slot machine and table games play and
employs more than 1,700 people.

EDWARDSVILLE
AmberAlert issued,
but boycloseat hand
An Amber Alert issued Wednesday
for a 4-year-old boy was quickly ter-
minated when the boy was found in an
adjacent apartment at the Eagle Ridge
apartment complex.
State police issued the alert at about
7:17 a.m. after the mother noticed her
son missing from the apartment. The
alert stated the boy was abducted by
his father between 10 p.m. Tuesday
and 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, provided the
boys description and gave the fathers
name and vehicle information.
Authorities initially said the boys
mother and father had an argument
Tuesday night.
The alert was terminated at about
7:35 a.m. when the boy was found
across the hallway in an another
apartment. The boy might have been
sleepwalking when he left his mothers
apartment.

FORT MEADE, Md.
Army Pfc. Bradley Manning
was sentenced Wednesday
to 35 years in prison for giv-
ing hundreds of thousands of
secret military and diplomatic
documents to WikiLeaks in
one of the biggest leak cases
in the U.S. since the Pentagon
Papers a generation ago.
Flanked by his lawyers,
Manning, 25, stood at atten-
tion in his dress uniform and
showed no reaction as mili-
tary judge Col. Denise Lind
announced the punishment
without explanation during a
brief hearing.
Among the spectators, there
was a gasp, and one woman
buried her face in her hands.
Guards hurried Manning out
of the courtroom as about a
half-dozen supporters shouted
from the back: Well keep
ghting for you, Bradley! and
Youre our hero!
With good behavior and
credit for the more than
three years he has been held,
Manning could be out in
about 6-1/2 years, according
to his defense attorney David
Coombs.
Coombs told a press confer-
ence at a nearby hotel that early
next week hell le, through
the Army, a request that the
president pardon the soldier
or at the very least commute
the sentence to time already
served.
The time to end Brads suf-
fering is now, Coombs said.
The time for our president
to focus on protecting whistle-
blowers instead of punishing
them is now.
The former intelligence
analyst was found guilty last
month of 20 crimes, including
six violations of the Espionage
Act, as part of the Obama
administrations unprecedent-
ed crackdown on media leaks.
He was acquitted of the
most serious charge, aiding
the enemy, which carried a
potential life in prison without
parole.
Manning could have got-
ten 90 years behind bars.
Prosecutors asked for at least
60 as a warning to other sol-
diers, while Mannings lawyer
suggested he get no more than
25, because some of the docu-
ments he leaked will be declas-
sied by then.
He will have to serve at
least one-third of his sentence
before he is eligible for parole.
He was also demoted to private
and dishonorably discharged.
There was no immediate
word from Mannings mother
in Wales, who was reported to
be in poor health, but the sol-
diers uncle, who is also Welsh,
deplored the sentence.
I hope it will be reduced,
Kevin Fox told BBC television.
To be honest, he shouldnt
have been given any time at all.
In my eyes, he is a hero.
Prosecutors had no imme-
diate comment, while the
American Civil Liberties
Union, Amnesty International
and other activists decried the
punishment.
When a soldier who shared
information with the press
and public is punished far
more harshly than others who
tortured prisoners and killed
civilians, something is seri-
ously wrong with our justice
system, said Ben Wizner,
head of the ACLUs speech and
technology project.
In a statement, WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange,
who has taken refuge at the
Ecuadorean Embassy in
London, decried Mannings
trial and conviction as an
affront to basic concepts of
Western justice.

Mubarak facing
house arrest
Egypts prime minister has ordered
that ex-president Hosni Mubarak be
placed under house arrest when hes
released from prison following more
than two years in detention.
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi
said in a statement Wednesday that he
ordered Mubarak put under house arrest
as part of the emergency measures put
in place this month.
Prison ofcials said Mubarak might
be released as early as today.
Mubaraks release order followed an
appeal from his lawyers in one of the
cases of corruption he is facing. The
85-year old ousted president is still fac-
ing trial in separate charges. The deci-
sionto put himunder house arrest comes
amid fear his release would fuel tensions
already roiling the country following the
ouster of President Mohammed Morsi
in a July 3 coup.
DECATUR, GA.
Cops: Intruder

Police say the suspect in a Georgia

DeKalb County Police Detective Ray
Davis says police believe that suspect
Michael Brandon Hill got the AK47-style
rie from an acquaintance. But he said at
a news conference that
its not clear if he stole
the gun or borrowed it.
No one was injured
in the ordeal Tuesday at
the school in Decatur,
but police say the sus-
pect exchanged gunre
with ofcers. They say
he also red once into
the oor of the school ofce.
DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L.
Alexander says ofcers had to assume
that Hill wanted to harm somebody.
BROWNSVILLE, TExAS
Corrupt judge
to serve 6 years
A former judge who turned his South
Texas courtroom into a money-making
operation was sentenced Wednesday
to six years in prison followed by three
years of supervised release.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen
sentenced former state district Judge
Abel Limas, 59, on one count of rack-
eteering in Brownsville, on the border
with Mexico.
In a tearful statement Limas made to
the court before he was sentenced, he
said that he willingly had done every-
thing the government asked of him
because as a former police ofcer, law-
yer and judge, he knew the writing was
on the wall.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanens
sentence exceeded the 4 years request-
ed by prosecutors.
SWARTHMORE, PA.
Boa constrictor
safely recovered
A 7-foot boa constrictor that slithered
away from its home more than a week
ago has been found.
The snake was discovered Wednesday
in a yard about a block from its home,
said Swarthmore Police Chief Brian
Craig. The pet was found unharmed
and returned to its owner, veterinarian
David Spiegel.
The pet vanished last week after
Spiegel left it in his yard to sun itself, as
he said he typically does. Spiegels snake
has slipped away from home at least
once before, he said, and been returned.

Syria
attack tests
US hope to
avoid war
WASHINGTON The
Obama administration searched
for answers Wednesday about a
reported chemical weapons attack
in Syria that would mark the most
agrant violation yet of the U.S.
red line for potential military
action. But the possibility of inter-
vention seemed ever smaller after
Americas top general offered a
starkly pessimistic assessment of
options.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said in a letter this week to
a congressman that the admin-
istration is opposed to even lim-
ited action in
Syria because
it believes
rebels ght-
ing the Assad
g o v e r n m e n t
wouldnt sup-
port American
interests if they
seized power.
Dempsey said the U.S. mili-
tary is clearly capable of taking
out Assads air force and shifting
the balance of the war toward the
armed opposition. But such an
approach would plunge the U.S.
into the war without offering
any strategy for ending what has
become a sectarian ght, he said.
On Wednesday, Syrian anti-
Assad activists accused the gov-
ernment of carrying out a toxic
gas attack in the eastern suburbs
of Damascus, killing at least 100
people including children. The
claims coincided with a visit by
a U.N. chemical weapons team
to three previous sites of alleged
attacks. Syrian President Bashar
Assads government rejected the
accusations, and U.S. ofcials
said they were seeking details of
what happened.
For the United States, the death
toll and painful images again put
a spotlight on President Barack
Obamas pledge almost exactly a
year ago to respond forcefully to
any chemical weapons use by the
Assad government. Since then,
the administration has said it
has conrmed that Syrian forces
have committed such attacks, and
the U.S. has ordered a lethal aid
package of small arms to be sent
to some rebel groups, though its
unclear what if any weapons have
been delivered.
Yet up to now, Obama has
refused all options of direct U.S.
military intervention in a civil
war that has killed more than
100,000 people and displaced
millions.
The United States is deeply
concerned by reports that hun-
dreds of Syrian civilians have
been killed in an attack by Syrian
government forces, including by
the use of chemical weapons,
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said Wednesday.
Chairman of Joint Chiefs
of Staf says the administration
is opposed to even limited action

A third of high school grads who took ACT unprepared for college-level classes
WASHINGTON Almost a third of
this years high school graduates who took
the ACTtests are not prepared for college-
level writing, biology, algebra or social sci-
ence classes, according to data the testing
company released Wednesday.
The companys annual report also found
a gap between students interests nowand
projected job opportunities when they
graduate, adding to the dire outlook for
the class of 2013.
The readiness of students leaves a lot
to be desired, said Jon Erickson, presi-
dent of the Iowa-based companys educa-
tion division.
The ACT reported that 31 percent of
all high school graduates tested were not
ready for any college coursework requir-
ing English, science, math or reading
skills. The other 69 percent of test takers
met at least one of the four subject-area
standards.
Just a quarter of this years high school
graduates cleared the bar in all four sub-
jects, demonstrating the skills theyll need
for college or a career, according to com-
pany data. The numbers are even worse
for black high school graduates: Only 5
percent were deemed fully ready for life
after high school.
The reports ndings suggest that many
students will struggle when they arrive on
campus or theyll be forced to take remedi-
al courses oftenwithout earning credits
to catch their peers.
The data reveal a downturn in overall
student scores since 2009. Company of-
cials attribute the slide to updated stan-
dards and more students taking the exams
including many with no intention of
attending two- or four-year colleges.
In terms of careers, the report found
a chasm between what students want
to study and where they might nd jobs
down the road. ACT compared federal
Bureau of Labor Statistics projections
with their own questionnaires and found
insufcient student interest in the ve
fastest-growing industries with workers
who require some college.

Suspect in Fort Hood shooting ofers no defense
FORT HOOD, Texas
The soldier on trial for the
deadly 2009 shooting ram-
page at Fort Hood refused to
put up a ght on Wednesday,
resting his case without call-
ing a single witness or testify-
ing in his own defense.
Maj. Nidal Hasan could face
the death penalty if convicted
for the attack that killed 13
people and wounded more
than 30 others at the Texas
military base. But when given
the chance to rebut prosecu-
tors lengthy case which
included nearly 90 witnesses
and hundreds of pieces of evi-
dence the Army psychia-
trist declined.
About ve minutes after
court began Wednesday, a day
after prosecutors rested their
case, the judge asked Hasan
how he wanted to proceed.
He answered: The defense
rests.
The judge, Col. Tara
Osborn, then asked Hasan:
You have the absolute right
to remain silent. You do not
have to say anything. You
have the right to testify if you
choose. Understand?
Hasan said he did. When
the judge asked if this was
his personal decision, he
answered: It is.
Osborn then adjourned the
trial until today to give prose-
cutors time to prepare closing
arguments, and jurors were
led out of the courtroom.
Hasans move wasnt com-
pletely unexpected, consider-
ing he has made no attempt
since his trial began two
weeks ago to prove his inno-
cence. He has sat mostly in
silence, raising few objections
and questioning only three
prosecution witnesses.
Instead, he appears to be
making his case through leaks
to the media even though
jurors are barred fromreading
media reports about the case.

HARVEYS LAKE
The borough has received
approval from Harrisburg
for the $78,000 state Local
Share Account grant that
will be used to make updates
and repairs on the existing
police station.
The money will pay for
the stations
f oundat i on
and walls to
be renovated,
as well as an
upgrade to
the air-condi-
tioning and
heating sys-
tems among
other repairs.
The borough now has to
wait to receive the revised
contract before putting the
work contacts out to bid.
This action is expected to
take place within the next
few weeks.
LSA grants are funded by
casino gaming in the state.
The grant has recently
been held up, due to the
change in plans for the
police stations location.
Initially, the police station
was set to be moved to bor-
oughs recreation center,
which is located in a remote
area of the lake.
Many residents voiced
strong support for keeping
the station at its present
location, which is at the
main entrance to the lake.
We need police presence
to be visible when people
come into the borough, and
not hidden, Councilwoman
Michelle Boice said.
In other matters, Mayor
Clarence Hogan said the
borough will continue to
pursue cyclists who are
not obeying the law on
Lakeside Drive. Hogan also
said several of the summer
homeowners and other
residents have expressed
their gratitude at the new
aggressive measures being
taken regarding the growing
number of people who ride
bikes or motorcycles around
the lake and do not obey the
stop signs.
Hogan also announced
there will be a reworks
display at the parking lot of
Our Lady of Victory Church
on Sunday, Sept. 1, begin-
ning at 8:45 pm.
The borough has hired
two new part-time police
ofcers, John Bevilaqua and
Jon Van Campen. The of-
cers will ofcially join the
force after being certied by
the borough and undergo-
ing training by the full-time
ofcers.

WILKES-BARRE A
woman charged with taking
items from two local stores was
sentenced Wednesday to 18
months probation.
Carrie Skrepenak, 45, with
last known addresses of Thomas
Street, Exeter, and Maple
Avenue, Kingston, was sentenced
on two counts of retail theft by
Judge Fred Pierantoni.
Skrepenak must seek and main-
tain employment and undergo
both drug-and-alcohol and men-
tal-health evaluations.
According to court papers,
in November 2011, police said
Skrepenak entered the Kohls
department store in Wilkes-
Barre Township and tried to take
$1,377 in merchandise.
In April 2012, police said
Skrepenak tried to steal $101
in merchandise from a Price
Chopper grocery store.
WILKES-BARRE A
Larksville man charged with
operating an illegal gambling
device was entered into the coun-
tys Accelerated Rehabilitative
Disposition program for a period
of three months Wednesday.
Marion J. Noto, 53, of Brown
Street, was entered into the pro-
gram on three charges relating to
gambling offenses at ONos Bar
and Grill in Kingston.
If Noto successfully completes
the program, three misdemeanor
charges will be expunged from
his record.
According to court papers,
in March 2011, Liquor Control
Board ofcers received a number
of payouts from a video gambling
machine inside the bar, which
Noto owns.
WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County judge on
Wednesday granted a request
by prosecutors in the case of
Andrew Pope to reinstate all
charges against him after he
failed to follow through with a
plea agreement.
Judge David Lupas, after a
hearing Wednesday, reinstated
all six drug-related charges origi-
nally brought against Pope, 34,
of High Street, Plymouth, and
scheduled a trial date for Sept. 9.
Assistant District Attorney
Jill Matthews Lada was seeking
to reinstate the original charges
after Pope had agreed to plead
guilty to a single charge. That
agreement was never followed,
according to court papers, and
now prosecutors want him to
face all the original charges in the
case.
Police said a condential infor-
mant made purchases from Pope
that resulted in a search of his
High Street home. Police alleg-
edly found 40 packages of heroin,
a small package of marijuana,
$650, and a ball of cocaine inside
a dryer, as well as several items
related to the sale of drugs.
Pope allegedly told police he
began selling drugs when he
came to the area from New York
and that he sells them because
he has to care for a girlfriend and
her children.

WILKES-BARRE
Luzerne County Judge
Michael Vough said
Wednesday he wants Robert
Krostag to think while serv-
ing his six-to-12-year prison
sentence about the 500-plus
victims he affected by tak-
ing bronze vases from three
area cemeteries.
You stole fromthe dead,
Vough said after sentencing
Krostag, 46, on related and
unrelated charges.
Krostag said all the inci-
dents, including the theft
of railroad plates, radiators,
copper piping and a water
heater, stem from his use of
heroin. I am really sorry.
I feel really bad for all the
victims, Krostag said, add-
ing the crimes would never
have happened if he wasnt
addicted.
Krostag must pay more
than $121,571 in restitu-
tion, including $88,704 to
the Fern Knoll Cemetery
from which many of the
bronze vases were taken.
He previously pleaded
guilty to the charges.
Assistant District
Attorney Michael Sowinski
said Wednesday each
bronze vase was purchased
for $400 by family members
of the deceased and he had
received phone calls from
funeral homes and family
members who were very
disturbed with Krostags
actions.
These were thefts from
the dead, Sowinski said
while requesting a prison
sentence for Krostag. I
think that speaks for itself.
Krostags attorney, Ferris
Webby, said it isnt normal
for a person to go into a
cemetery and remove a
large amount of grave mark-
ers. His client has underly-
ing issues, he said.
Krostag has been to a
rehabilitation center twice,
has had a family member
die recently and his mother
become very ill, Webby
said, noting Krostag also
suffers from depression
and suicidal thoughts. He
needs to be punished ,
Webby said. But he needs
help, too.
Webby also said his
client faces charges in
Lackawanna County three
counts of receiving
stolen property.
Krostag stole
bronze vases
from Memorial
Shrine Cemetery
in Franklin
Township a num-
ber of times dur-
ing 2012 and from Chapel
Lawn Cemetery and Fern
Knoll Burial Park in Dallas
Township from July to
October.
On April 11, police said,
Krostag stole radia-
tors from a vacant
house on Powell
Street, and in May
he took 48 metal
plates from the
Canadian Pacic
Railroad in Plains
Township.
Police also charged
Krostag with taking cop-
per piping and a hot water
heater from a vacant home
in Plains Township on April
25.

billboardcalling onthe small
Northeastern Pennsylvania
borough of Gilberton to re
its police chief, whos been
suspended for allegedly
using department weapons
and ammunition without
permission.
Chief Mark Kessler has
also posted videos online
showing him ring guns,
using profanity and mock-
ing liberals.
The Washington-based
Coalition to Stop Gun
Violence says Kessler
is a menace who must
be removed. It put up
the billboard to urge
Gilbertons borough coun-
cil to re him.
Kessler calls the bill-
board comical and
says hes not going to
stop exercising his First
and Second Amendment
rights.
He has been suspended
without pay for 30 days
but the chief says he
believes the borough coun-
cil intends to re him.

Courts granted wider role in record disputes
Pa. chief justice chides the Legislature for not
putting more thought into appeals process
MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The
state Supreme Court has
endorsed wide author-
ity for state courts to
determine whether gov-
ernment records should
be released publicly, a
decision the chief jus-
tice warned would make
requests more costly and
add delays.
The court ruled 4-2
Tuesday in the matter
of a Pittsburgh Tribune-
Review reporter who had
sought information about
federal grant money
spent by the Pennsylvania
Emergency Management
Agency.
The case involves
the role of the Office
of Open Records, an
agency created when the
Right-to-Know Law was
overhauled five years
ago. The majority said
appeals of the offices
decisions that are taken
to Commonwealth Court
would not be confined to
the existing record but
can be supplemented.
Now they can still
count on that, or they
can say no, thanks, were
going to start this process
over and have the parties
give us everything, said
Office of Open Records
director Terry Mutchler,
whose agency was a
party to the case. The
question in plain-speak
terms is, Is the Office of
Open Records a warm-up
or is it a real game?
Mutchlers office has
handled 7,000 cases, and
about 500 have ended up
in court.
The majority opin-
ion by Justice Seamus
McCaffery said there
were several reasons
to give Commonwealth
Court and county com-
mon pleas judges, where
they are involved the
ability to gather more
information. To do other-
wise would give too much
authority to appeals offi-
cers who arent necessar-
ily required to hold hear-
ings, take evidence or
issue written decisions.
Chief Justice Ronald
Castille, in a dissent,
said he couldnt recall
another law that pro-
duced so much litiga-
tion involving seemingly
overlooked foundational
matters, and chided the
Legislature for not put-
ting more thought into
the appeals process.
Castille said lawmakers
should revise and refine
the Right-to-Know Law,
a process that has already
begun. If that does not
happen, he said, and the
Office of Open Records
does not adopt a review
process that protects
legal rights, he might
favor simply reversing
all of the decisions that
come to the court from
the office.
The broader appeals
court role was support-
ed by the newspaper,
said its lawyer, David
Strassburger. He called
Castilles concerns legit-
imate but overstated.
Theres only so much
time to build a record
before the Office of Open
Records, Strassburger
said. Its not supposed
to be a full-blown admin-
istrative opinion because
we want to be in-and-out.
I think thats good, but all
that means is you need a
judge to take a look at it
and make sure its right.
Melissa Melewsky,
a lawyer with the
Pennsylvania NewsMedia
Association, said the
divided court seemed to
agree that the law needed
to be changed.
Whether the negative
impacts put forth by the
OOR in this case come
to fruition remain to be
seen, but the justices
gave the Legislature a
lot to think about when
it takes up proposed
amendments this year,
she said.
DOVER, Del.
Emergency responders
were called earlier this
month to the home where
the son of Vice President
Joe Biden has been stay-
ing, two weeks before he
was hospitalized during a
family vacation, authori-
ties said Wednesday.
A county dispatch cen-
ter log indicates someone
at the vice presidents
home was reported to
be possibly having a
stroke and apparently not
alert. Delaware Attorney
General Beau Biden, 44,
has been staying at his
fathers Greenville home
while his own house is
renovated.
The younger Biden
suffered a mild stroke in
2010 and is being treat-
ed at a cancer center in
Texas after becoming
weak and disoriented
while vacationing in
Indiana last week.
Rickie Clark, a staff
supervisor with the
Cranston Heights
Fire Co., conrmed
Wednesday that county
dispatchers received a
call for help from Joe
Bidens home. However,
he refused to provide fur-
ther details.
The dispatch log on the
re departments website
shows two references
to the vice presidents
home on Aug. 1, one at
9:25 p.m. and another
about a minute and a half
later. Both cite Cva-Not
Alert, indicating that a
person was in distress
and apparently not alert
or responsive to his or
her surroundings. Clark
said Cva is shorthand
for cerebrovascular acci-
dent, or stroke.
Biden was ini-
tially admitted to
Northwestern Memorial
Hospital in Chicago
last week and trav-
eled the next day to the
Philadelphia hospital
where he had been treat-
ed for his 2010 stroke to
consult with his doctor.
He spent last weekend
at home in Wilmington
before going to Texas.
Julie Penne, a
spokeswoman for the
University of Texas
MD Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston, said
Wednesday that she did
not have any information
on Biden.
The younger Biden
has posted two photos of
himself in recent days
one of him smiling with
his father on Sunday,
the other of him smiling
with his wife, Hallie, on
Tuesday. Touched by all
your well wishesthank
you. Nice evening in
Houston w/ Hallie; will
share update when we
have it, said the tweet
accompanying the photo
with his wife.
The White House
said Wednesday that
Joe Biden has canceled
scheduled appearances
in Rhode Island and
Maine today to remain in
Houston with his son and
other family members.
Joe Biden is still sched-
uled to join President
Barack Obama in Bidens
hometown of Scranton
on Friday during the sec-
ond day of an Obama bus
tour to discuss college
costs.
Call for help came fromBiden home

Billboard: Give Gilberton chief the boot
NEW YORK Misty-
eyed music promoter Sid
Bernstein, who booked
such top acts as Jimi
Hendrix, Judy Garland
and the Rolling Stones
and hit the highest heights
when he masterminded
the Beatles historic con-
certs at Shea Stadium
and Carnegie Hall, died
Wednesday at age 95.
Bernsteins daughter,
Casey Deutsch, said he
died in his sleep at a hos-
pital. She cited no illness
and said he died of natural
causes.
For decades, the squat,
oppy-haired Bernstein
excelled like few others
at being everywhere and
knowing everybody. He
worked with Garland,
Duke Ellington and Ray
Charles, promoted Dion,
Bobby Darin and Chubby
Checker and managed Esy
Morales, the Rascals and
Ornette Coleman. He was
an early backer of ABBA,
setting up the Swedish
groups rst American
appearances.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be, so
he put his arms around you,
and whispered Come to me.
With tearful eyes we watched
you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay. A
golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
to us He only takes the best.

Judge sets Oct. 29 date
in Paterno family lawsuit
BELLEFONTE A
judge has scheduled an
Oct. 29 hearing in the
lawsuit led by the fam-
ily of former Penn State
football coach Joe Paterno
against the NCAA over
penalties it imposed
on the school amid the
Jerry Sandusky child sex
abuse scandal.
Judge John Leete said
in an order he would hear
arguments on prelimi-
nary objections led by
defendants in the case,
court ofcials announced
Wednesday.
The order also estab-
lished a schedule for the
Paterno family and other
plaintiffs to reply to the
objections.
The NCAA penalized
the school for its response
to complaints about the
former Paterno assistant
and imposed a $60 mil-
lion ne, a four-year bowl
ban, a loss of scholarships
and the elimination of 112
Paterno-era wins.
There is surely something both
noble and sad in the groundbreaking
for a new Weinberg Food Bank center
Monday.
Noble because only the most cal-
lous would bemoan or belittle the cen-
ters daily effort to feed the needy, sad
because the need has grown enough
to justify the new facility, ofcially
dubbed the Monsignor Andrew J.
McGowan Center for Healthy Living.
The need is proven in the num-
bers: the Commission on Economic
Opportunitys food bank, a clearing-
house for food heading to regional
agencies, delivered about 1 million
pounds of food to 18 agencies in 1996;
Today it is nearly 5 million pounds to
138 agencies.
Its also heartening to see the phi-
lanthropy and government assistance
that helped make the new $6.4 mil-
lion center possible: $2 million from
the William G. McGowan Charitable
Fund, $1 million from the Harry and
Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, $1 mil-
lion through the state Redevelopment
Capital Assistance Program, $500,000
from Luzerne County, and land valued
at $1.2 million from Rob Mericle.
Yes, its that Rob Mericle, admitted
felon, the man who developed a habit
of showering gifts on powerful people
from the start of his budding career,
including Cabbage Patch Dolls given
to disgraced former Luzerne County
Judge Mark Ciavarella back when the
dolls were a mania.
The gifts became paid vacations,
then simply cash tucked in the pages
of a vacation magazine. That was
before Mericle helped launch arguably
Luzerne Countys most notorious scan-
dal by paying millions in nder fees
to Ciavarella and cohort in crime ex-
Judge Michael Conahan while the duo
controlled the ow of juveniles to pri-
vate detention centers Mericle helped
build.
Most call it Kids for Cash, though
to this day Ciavarella bitterly rejects
the label.
Mericle has long donated money,
land, services and equipment to worthy
causes, building a tremendous amount
of goodwill that served him well as the
corruption case unfolded. Supporters
ignored his crime and touted his gener-
osity. He has continued the habit after
pleading guilty to federal charges.
There is an obvious argument that he
bought his way out of serious jail time
and is buying his way back into social
rehabilitation. Theres also an obvious
argument that the land he donated for
the food bank is valued at $1.2 million
solely because it sat on his massive
development, Center Point Commerce
and Trade Park East.
So, yes, this food bank has the
Mericle taint. But that shouldnt negate
the good the food bank has done and
will surely continue to do.
When you have hungry children, you
dont likely care if the donated food
came from an agency that worked with
a commission that accepted donated
land from a convicted felon trying to
(legally) rehabilitate his image.
You care that your children are fed.

Editorial
House Republicans nally serve up a
morsel of common sense by removing
food stamps from the farm bill. And
Democrats respond with a gag reex.
Judging from their letter of complaint
to House Speaker John Boehner, one
would think the GOP had ushered in
the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Nonsense.
Lumping one gargantuan federal
subsidy into another is nothing more
than logrolling rural lawmakers get
their plump farm pork, their urban
counterparts get their ever-expanding
food stamps.
And taxpayers? Why, they get shaft-
ed, of course.
The fact that 47 million Americans
today rely on the governments so-
called nutrition program which
continually comes under scrutiny for
abuse and/or fraud has no bearing
on the 204 House Dems who signed
the letter demanding a return to the
status quo.
Republicans propose new eligibil-
ity and work requirements to reduce
abuse in the food stamps program, The
Hill newspaper reports. That makes
sense. Likewise, the farm bill should
be sheared of its outrageous subsides
and allowances that benet Big Ag at
an intolerable cost to smaller farms
and consumers.
No longer should food stamps, with
their own set of problems, provide
political cover for an overstuffed farm
bill. Each should be judged on its own
merits.

Thanks to those
who helped event
The 14th annual Jonathan Grula
Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament
recently was held at Blue Ridge Trail
Golf Club.
The ofcers and board of directors
thank Blue Ridge managers Tony
Barletta and Flo Alba for their excellent
service at our event. We also thank the
hundreds of hole sponsors, businesses
and individuals who donated prizes,
workers and, of course, our golfers.
The tournament was very successful,
raising more than $13,000. The fund-
raisers held this year will allow us to
donate $25,000 to the Four Diamonds
Fund, Hershey, which benets children
with cancer and is active in pediatric
cancer research.
This amount represents a total of
more than $266,000 since 2000. The
foundation is in memory of Jonathan
Grula, a Wilkes Barre Township boy
who died of leukemia at age 12 in
September 1999.Thank you for your
support!

Good news stories
are appreciated
Amid all the bad news crime,
guns and violence it was a a relief in
nding some heartwarming articles in
todays edition of The Times Leader,
something I have been noticing more
recently.
The article on the Church St.
Chilipeppers, written by Mary Therese
Biebel was beautiful. It had the caption
Come one, come all, for this supper-
time. It was so encouraging to see
grandparents in this day and age not
only preparing and serving supper to
their own grandchildren but to count-
less other neighborhood children as
well.
It brought to mind that my own
childhood friends were always welcome
for supper, with no notice. Somehow
there was always enough to go around.
My mom knew how to stretch a meal
from seven to 10 people. Perhaps it
was growing up on a farm and serving
meals to the pickers, but the more peo-
ple at her table, the happier she was.
Directly below that article was
one written by George Kovanis from
Detroit. It was a very humorous article
on when to alert someone in a embar-
rassing situation. It brought to mind an
incident in my life when I was caught
with my dress neatly tucked into my
pantyhose. It was an icebreaker for
a fellow employee to approach me
and whisper in my ear, laughing. In a
moment we were both laughing, forget-
ting that we had not been on speaking
terms over a sensitive comment in an
ofce controversy.
Yes, violence, murder and hate seem-
ingly dominate our news. But, really, is
there anything new under the sun that
has not already been in ancient times?
(Ecclesiastes 1:10.)
There was murder in the very rst
family when Cain killed his brother
Abel. Read Adam: You are descended
from Adam! What about Adam? by
R.C. Besteder, from Dallas, available on

Looking forward to more heart-
warming stories in The Times Leader.

Tom Marino aid
explains proposal
I thank Congressman Tom Marinos
staff for taking the time to discuss the
Marketplace Fairness Act with me.
As an interested college student,
I truly appreciate the opportunity
to speak to my representatives or
their staff about current legislation. I
believe that contacting ones represen-
tatives directly is the most effective
way of attaining information about
current legislation, especially with the
bias in todays news media.
I encourage more people to get
informed on these important political
issues and to speak to their represen-
tatives. A more informed electorate
will lead to smarter, more efcient
government.
Thus, I ask that all political rep-
resentatives and their staffs provide
the comprehensive transparency to
the electorate, just as Congressman
Marinos staff did for me, and that
important legislation such as the
Marketplace Fairness Act be consid-
ered.

Verdict was just,
not racial issue
Pardon me for not tearing up, boohoo!
With all due respect, the trial proved
an Hispanic man not guilty. Do you
understand: Not guilty, Mr. Holder? The
black community?
Having served as a navy recon pho-
tographer, I have a real hard time being
told to act as if I am in the wrong when
accosted with intent to infringe upon
my rights.
And, please, spare me the racist stuff.
I have had black and Hispanic friends,
some of my best.
One more thing. Where are the white
leaders? I dont mean our politicians
only intent on kissing behinds to keep
their jobs. I mean, and believe me I
hate to say this, leaders such as Rev.
Jesse and the like who are not afraid to
go against the white regime, right or
wrong, for their people.

Obama success
despite partisans
Amazingly, Barack Obama has been
able to move this country forward.
Looking at only the economy, think
where we might be if there hadnt been
Republican obstruction. Every one
of the presidents jobs bills has been
blocked.
Jonathan Chaits recent New York
Magazine article is titled Anarchists of
the House: The Republican Congress is
testing a new frontier of radicalism
governmental sabotage. He asserts
that opposition to the president has
become so vile it has proved impos-
sible to modulate.
Obama mused last year that his re-
election would break this fever, but
in the months since November, the
Republican House has only spun fur-
ther out of control.
Lo and behold, even the smarmy
Eric Cantor cannot nd common cause
with the hardest of the hard right.
In the actual world, the economy
is recovering and the decit, cur-
rently projected at half the level Obama
inherited, is falling like a rock, wrote
Chait. Yet messianic Republican sui-
cide threats in the face of an imagined
debt crisis have not subsided at all.
The swelling grievance within the
party base may actually be giving the
threats more fervor. The reign of the
Republican House has not yet inicted
any deep or permanent disaster on the
country, but it looks like it is just a mat-
ter of time.

It says specically on page 11 of
the settlement that the company
may not recover the cost of the
ne from ratepayers.
Penalties increased
Act 11 of 2012 changed the
ceiling on natural gas-related
penalties from $500,000 to $2
million. This is the rst settle-
ment that would go into effect in
excess of the previous maximum
ne threshold and if approved, it
would be the largest civil penalty
in recent history and the largest
natural gas ne, Kocher said.
The most recent ne anywhere
near the $1 million mark was
$990,000 in 1999 against HSS
Vending for payphone overcharg-
es.
A history of violations was
taken into consideration when
determining the penalty, the
ndings of a PUC investigation
shows, noting that in the past
ve years UGI-PNG or its sub-
sidiaries have been involved in
at least nine cases arising from
alleged gas safety violations.
Earlier this year, the com-
pany was ned $500,000 for a
2011 explosion that killed ve
in Allentown. At the time, the
$500,000 was the highest allow-
able penalty under the law.
According to the settlement,
the investigation in the local
incident was launched thanks
to a UGI-Penn Natural Gas
whistle-blower who reported
that improper clamps were
used to repair a leak on a high-
pressure gas distribution line
along Business Route 309 in the
vicinity of the Sheetz gas station
last year. The report found the
clamps, which are pressure rated
at 100 pounds per square inch
are not considered suitable for a
permanent repair on a pipe oper-
ating at 320 pounds per square
inch.
Although no serious con-
sequences resulted from this
incident, the potential for seri-
ous consequences to occur was
signicant, according to the
47-page report dated Aug. 16
and led on the PUCs web-
site Tuesday. Therefore, (the
Bureau of Investigations and
Enforcement) submits that UGI-
PNG s alleged conduct is of a
serious nature and was consid-
ered in arriving at the substan-
tial civil penalty in this settle-
ment.
UGI: Settlement fair
For its part, UGI-PNG has
cooperated with the investiga-
tion, according to the settle-
ment.
UGI-PNG believes the joint
settlement is fair and in the best
interests of the company, its cus-
tomers, and the communities it
serves, company spokesman
Keith Dorman said in an emailed
statement. UGI-PNG is com-
mitted to its ongoing efforts to
further enhance the safety and
reliability of the companys facili-
ties and practices.
In its chance to make a state-
ment led as part of the report,
UGI staff attorney Kent D.
Murphy said the company will
take necessary actions to ensure
future compliance. As part of
that, the company writes in the
report that it plans to hire a sub-
stantial number of employees.
High on the list of priorities
are increased numbers of con-
struction inspectors, regulatory
compliance specialists, train-
ing personnel, and additional
workers trained in corrosion
prevention and other distribu-
tion integrity management func-
tions, UGI-PNG includes in the
report.
Dorman declined to answer a
question regarding how many, if
any, new hires have been made
to address the PUCs concerns.

asked the woman to per-

The woman refused as
they walked toward an

Hanover Township.

Assaults
and natural gas from the
company would have no
bearing on arena decisions.
It never dawned on me
that that would be a prob-
lem, he said.
Reino can understand a
ban on individually owned
businesses, but said the
exclusion of employees in
large corporations shuts
out a signicant segment
of the population with vast
knowledge and experience.
The county is a $260 million
operation, and much of that
budget is spent on hundreds
of contracts with outside
companies that provide
goods and services.
Its basically saying the
countydoesntwantthemost
qualied people to serve on
boards, said Reino, who
also is a Kingston Township
supervisor and member
of the Back Mountain
Chamber of Commerce and
Back Mountain Community
Partnership boards.
County Chief Solicitor
C. David Pedri said he
reviewed Reinos eligibility
to serve under home rule
after an employee pointed
out the charter prohibition.
Pedri said Reino was the
contact sales person on past
county invoices from UGI
but stressed Reino would
still be precluded from serv-
ing on the 11-member arena
authority regardless of his
position at UGI.
We are bound by the
charter. This is no reection
on Mr. Reinos qualications
to serve. He was extremely
professional, Pedri said,
noting Reino indicated he
would decline the nomina-
tion so council can select
someone else.
Councils previous appoin-
tee to the arena authority
seat Drew Mamary
also was disqualied before
Pedri became chief solicitor
because Mamary works as a
contracted deputy coroner
for the county. Mamary had
joined the arena authority
board in January, and coun-
cil accepted his resignation
and declared the seat vacant
in May.
Charter drafters have said
anall-encompassingbanwas
necessary to prevent poten-
tial conicts of interest, but
critics have maintained it is
too restrictive and shrinking
the pool of people able to
serve on outside boards.
Councilwoman Linda
McClosky Houck, who
chairs the council commit-
tee that publicly interviews
all applicants, said the ban
may be revisited as part of
future charter amendments.
The idea was to have a
fresh set of eyes by board
and authority members who
are not tied into the county
in any way, but maybe this
would be worthy of revi-
sion, McClosky Houck said.
County Councilman
Edward Brominski said
he bumped into Reino on
Wednesday and was sur-
prised to learn about the
notication he cant serve.
Potential charter conicts
should be discussed by
council before people are
appointed, he said.
We shouldnt be in a
predicament like this where
after we make an appoint-
ment the appointees are told
they cant serve, Brominski
said.
McClosky Houck said
she will recommend the
council clerk start screen-
ing all board and authority
applications to determine
if the employers listed have
contracts with the county. If
a potential conict is iden-
tied, the county can alert
an applicant before a public
interview is scheduled, she
said.
Board applicants are
asked about potential con-
icts, and their resumes are
available to council and dis-
cussed at public interviews,
she said.
Reino said the county
should assess eligibility in
advance because the charter
ban is unusually restrictive
and unexpected.
They knew where I
worked and should have vet-
ted my eligibility up front,
Reino said.
Pedri and McClosky
Houck also said they are
working on a proposed clari-
cation because the charter
wording does not expressly
ban individual independent
county contractors from
serving, even though that
appears to be the intent.
While Mamary agreed
to resign, two other council
appointees Elaine Cook
and Frank Bognet gave
up county compensation
as independent contractors
so they can continue serv-
ing on the Luzerne County
Community College Board
of Trustees.
As attorneys, Cook and
Bognet had received $125
per hearing when they were
requested by the prothono-
tarys ofce to serve on civil
court arbitration panels.
Acting Prothonotary/
Clerk of Courts Director
Art Bobbouine said both
attorneys sent notice in June
that they would no longer
accept payment but would
still serve as volunteers if
needed due to a shortage of
attorneys willing to accept
the assignment.
Jack and I also volunteer
here, she said. We love to
help out.
Standing in front of a sign
that read, The best place to
be is together, several speak-
ers addressed the crowd.
Trula Hollywood, execu-
tive director of the Area
Agency on Aging, welcomed
everyone and introduced
state Rep. Phyllis Mundy,
D-Kingston, whose ofce is
located across Third Avenue
fromthe center.
These centers are fund-
ed with proceeds from our
state lottery, Mundy said.
Thats why we need to keep
the lottery as is and not in
the hands of some for-prot
company.
She said the centers serve
many purposes, such as pro-
viding meals in a social set-
ting where seniors can come
and have a good time.
Its great for them to
come here and socialize and
stay active, Mundy said.
John ORourke, captain
of the centers shufeboard
team, said the new center
has a great set-up for the
game he loves and he is look-
ing forward to organizing a
league.
And now I can walk here
from my house, he said.
Sandy Acornley, director
of the Kingston center for
more than ve years, said
attendance has been up at
the new location. She said
more than 40 new members
have registered.
Weve retained almost
all of our members from
the previous site and we
get new members almost
daily, she said. I guess the
word Ive heard most about
the new location is that it
has a homey feeling. Its a
great place for our seniors
to come to relax and have a
good time.
Acornley said the center
has rooms for computer
use, exercise, activities and
more. Seniors can watch
TV, play games, do line
dancing or learn belly danc-
ing or Zumba.
Everybody has such a
positive attitude, she said.
Local elected ofcials
were in attendance and the
GAR High School cheer-
leaders were on hand to
help out.
The center recently had
a Joke Day and an Elvis
Week celebration. They
observed Left-handers
Day and served a Hawaiian
lunch with hula lessons.
The center also offers pro-
grams on issues concern-
ing senior citizens and on
health topics and nutrition.
Established in 1968, the
Area Agency on Aging is
a county agency serving
the needs of the residents
of Luzerne and Wyoming
Counties. The organization
is responsible for planning
and coordinating a compre-
hensive system of social ser-
vices for older residents of
the community and acts as
an advocate and speaks out
on issues related to the well-
being and needs of older
persons.
At the new center, anoth-
er sign reads: You are not
grown up until you run out
of birthdays.
From page 1A
Center
living in poverty, Jones said.
Children cant learn when theyre
hungry. As the school year starts,
our goal is to not only provide
access to quality meals, it is to
bring awareness and advocacy to
this critical need.
The meals will also be offered to
other local agencies and partners
that serve area children, includ-
ing Luzerne County Head Start,
the Catholic Youth Center, Child
Development Council, Maternal
Family Health Services, Wyoming
Valley Childrens Association,
Volunteers of America and the
Center of the Village.
More than 130 volunteers are
already scheduled to participate,
and Jones said more are welcome.
The deadline for volunteers to
register to help is Friday morning,
Jones said. Interested volunteers
can email Amy Marie Feldman
at ageorge@unitedwaywb.org or
call 829-6711, ext. 232.
The Mac & Cheese is a prod-
uct created and supplied by the
non-prot group Meals of Hope
(http://meals-of-hope.org/) and
the effort is sponsored by Land
OLakes and Lord & Taylor. The
event is a project of the Womens
Leadership Club.
Participants will be trained and
supervised on how to package the
Mac & Cheese that is fortied
with soy protein and 21 additional
vitamins and minerals. Jones said
some of the volunteers duties
include pouring the ingredients
into bags, weighing and sealing
bags, boxing the packed bags and
placing the boxes on pallets.
Jones said the room will be set
up like a huge assembly line with
volunteers packing the ingredi-
ents in boxes. He said the meals
will be distributed to local fami-
lies in need as determined by the
agencies involved in the project.
Were excited about this, he
said. Weve never tried anything
this big before, so we welcome
volunteers and we we are anxious
to see this through.
Next week, schools through-
out the Wyoming Valley will be
welcoming back students to their
classrooms, Jones said. As our
United Way campaign kicks off
and the school year starts, there
is no better time to talk about
the investment we make in our
childrens safety, education and
health. Hunger impacts health
and education, and it is an issue
that affects far too many chil-
dren.
The United Way helps fund 46
programs in 25 member agencies.
Jones said the organization funds
effective programs that improve
many lives in the community.
The agency kicked off its annu-
al campaign earlier this month.
More than $4.1 million was raised
last year.

PORTLAND, Ore. Google
has been holding talks with
the National Football League,
raising speculation that the
Internet monolith is seeking
new inroads into television.
Other tech companies like
Apple are reportedly in talks
with cable providers to boost
access to blockbuster tele-
vision shows through their
devices.
With Google sitting on a
cash pile of $48 billion, the
leagues Sunday Ticket pack-
age is easily within its reach.
The contract is currently
held by DirecTV, which pays
about $1 billion annually for
the rights. That contract, how-
ever, expires at the end of the
2014 season.
Earlier this year, Google
Chief Financial Ofcer Patrick
Pichette said it serves the
shareholder best to actually
have that strategic ability to
pounce, when there is the
opportunity to make a major
acquisition.
The NFL conrmed its meet-
ings with Google Wednesday,
but declined to discuss the
nature of those talks, as did
Google.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Tim Tebow walked off the
practice eld with no reporters
blocking his path to the locker
room. Finally, a few strolled up
for a 90-second interview then
moved on to longer chats with
other Patriots.
The media circus that sur-
rounded himlast season is gone.
His uncertain future remains.
Ten weeks into what could
be his last shot at staying in the
NFL, Tebow seems to be on the
roster bubble. He is simply try-
ing to make the team now, but
has played poorly in two exhibi-
tion games.
How poorly?
His passer rating was 0.0
thats zero-point-zero in
New Englands 25-21 win over
Tampa Bay last Friday night.
You would denitely want to
do better in some areas, said
Tebow, the only quarterback the
Patriots used in the second half
vs. the Buccaneers. Also, you
have different things happen that
you just try to handle the best
way you can.
He completedjust one of seven
passes for a loss of one yard, and
had one interception on a badly
overthrown pass. He was sacked
twice on his rst nine plays. But
the lefty who has trouble reading
defenses and zipping passes did
what he does best, running six
times for 30 yards.
A week earlier, in his debut,
he was a bit better 4 for 12
for 55 yards with four runs for
31 yards in a 31-22 win over the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Numbers may not lie, but
coach Bill Belichick sees a larg-
er truth. He watches Tebow at
every practice, sees how dili-
gently he studies and how dedi-
cated he is in the weight room.
And he sees some positive
steps from the player traded by
Tebows future with
Patriots uncertain

NEW YORK Alfonso
Soriano hit a tiebreaking two-
run homer with two outs in the
eighth inning, Ichiro Suzuki
got his 4,000th hit between
the major leagues and Japan,
and the Yankees handed the
Toronto Blue Jays their 12th
straight loss in New York, 4-2
on Wednesday night.
David Huff (1-0) pitched one-
hit ball in ve innings of relief
to shut down the Blue Jays
before New York nally got to
Torontos R.A. Dickey.
The 39-year-old Suzuki hit
a liner off Dickey (9-12) that
bounced just beyond diving
third baseman Brett Lawrie
for the milestone hit in the
rst inning. Suzuki broke a tie
with Lou Gehrig when he got
his 2,722nd major league hit
in his 13th season. The speedy
outelder amassed 1,278 hits
in nine seasons with Orix of
Japans Pacic League.
Suzukis teammates streamed
out of the dugout and surround-
ed him at rst base, Curtis
Granderson giving him the rst
hug. A grinning Suzuki then
faced the cheering fans and
bowed.
When he went to his posi-
tion in right eld for the second
inning, Suzuki tipped his cap
to fans who greeted him with a
standing ovation.
Ken Griffey Jr., a former
teammate with the Seattle
Mariners, congratulated Suzuki
with a message shown on the
video board at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees inelder Jayson Nix
broke his left hand when he
was hit by a pitch in the second
inning.
AdamWarren started for New
York to give 41-year-old Andy
Pettitte one more day after the
Yankees stayed on rotation for
their doubleheader Tuesday. He
gave up two runs in three-plus
innings, including Josh Tholes
tying homer in the fourth. It
was Tholes rst homer with the
Blue Jays.
Huff relieved and didnt allow
a hit until Lawrie led off the
eighth with an ineld single.
Huff walked four, one inten-
tionally, but never was in real
trouble.
Toronto left at least one run-
ner on base in each of the rst
eight innings and was 2 for 15
with runners on base.

RailRiders cant come back
MOOSIC If only Ronnier Mustelier
could share some of his magic.
But after his three hits for the
RailRiders, the rest of the offense disap-
peared Wednesday night.
As a result, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
squandered a few prime scoring chanc-
es, and couldnt overcome a shaky start
by Brett Marshall during a 6-3 loss to
Pawtucket at PNC Field.
Hope began vanishing quickly for the
RailRiders, who fell behind 5-1 in the top
of the fth inning.
All their chances to come back kept
going poof.
The RailRiders left Mustelier stand-
ing at third base in the second inning,
then stranded two runners in the sixth,
seventh and eighth innings. There went
their chance to at least forge a tie.
At least Mustelier found the secret to
the trick.
His double in the second inning set
up J.R. Murphys RBI ground out. Then
Mustelier singled and scored on a sacri-
ce y by Alberto Gonzalez in the bot-
tom of the fth. And Musteliers ineld
single drove home Melky Mesa who
walked and stole second and third base
to pull the RailRiders within 5-3 in
the sixth inning.
But that was about it for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barres offensive attack.
Mustelier nished with three hits in
three trips to the plate, but the RailRiders
managed only three more as a team. And
those three singles by Murphy, Brent

Brett Marshall got the start and took the loss for the Railriders on Wednesday against the Pawtucket Red Sox at PNC Field in Moosic.

Double play
for Jeter
Yankees star to make second rehab trip
to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starting tonight
PAUL SOKOLOSKI
psokoloski@timesleader.com
MOOSIC - Maybe Derek
Jeter liked his last excursion
through Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre so much, he couldnt
help taking another trip
there.
More likely, that destina-
tion is becoming the place to
be for rehabbing New York
Yankee stars.
Whatever the reason, Jeter
will make his second rehab
appearance of the season
with the Triple-A RailRiders
starting with tonights 7:05
game with Pawtucket and
is expected to hang around
with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
possibly through Saturday.
And thats encouraging
news to a Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre team that missed out
on drawing some prime
Yankees players who were
working their way back to
the big leagues at other lev-
els of the organization in the
past.
Former Yankees ace Roger
Clemens made a rehab start
for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in
2007 the inaugural season
of the teams afliation with
New York. And ex-Yankees
starter Chien-Ming Wang
made a rehab appearance in
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in
2010.
But the following sea-
son, both Jeter and Andy
Pettitte played their nal
minor league rehab games
for Double-A Trenton before
returning to the Yankees,
by-passing Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre altogether.
Not anymore.
Both Jeter and Alex
Rodriguez spent rehab stints
with the RailRiders over
the past six weeks, suggest-
ing a stronger relationship
between the Yankees and
their Triple-A afliate.
It just shows how much
were a true partnership,
RailRiders general manager
Rob Crain said, in all fac-
ets of the word. Were very
appreciative of it and very
ecstatic to have Derek for a
second time.
The rst time around
didnt go so well for the
Yankees icon.
Trying to recover from
a fractured ankle he origi-
nally sustained during last
seasons American League
Championship Series and
then re-injured in spring
training, Jeter went 1-for-9
with four walks in four games
with the RailRiders from July
6 through 10.
He rejoined the Yankees
the next day, and immediate-
ly suffered a strained quad.
When he returned from that,

LAUREL RUN Phil
Celona and Marina Orrson
the same two runners who
won the rst of the three races
of the Valleys Fastest Man
and Woman Series scored
victories in the second race
of the series, Giants Despair
Challenge on Wednesday eve-
ning.
Celona, 22, of Philadelphia,
nished the grueling 1.1-mile
hill, made famous by the auto
hill climb, in 6 minutes and 47
seconds. His time was ve sec-
onds shy of the course record,
set by Nick Hilton in 2011.
Celona outran second-place
nisher, Chris Bodary, 23, of
Downingtown, by 11 seconds.
Celona defeated Bodary in the
Chase Mile (the rst of the
three races) on Aug. 14 by one
second.
After looking at the course
record, I knew I would have
to run hard, Celona said.
I couldnt mess around. So
I went out hard right from
the gun. I went as hard as I
could for as long as I could. I
didnt want to relinquish the
lead like I did in the rst race
(Bodary passed Celona late in
the Chase Mile, but Celona
regained the lead and went on
to win).
I now have a 12-second
lead going into the nal race,
Celona said. Thats a comfort-
able lead. So my plan is to go
after the course record. I dont
know if Ill get it. But Ill give
it a shot.
The nal race of the series is
the River Street Mile, set for
Friday, Aug. 30, in downtown
Wilkes-Barre at 7 p.m.
Male and female winners of
the series will win $500. The
winners of the River Street
Mile win $200. And there is
a bonus of $200 for setting a
course record.
Orrson, 22, of Shavertown,
won the female division eas-
ily, nishing eighth overall
in 8:05. Ali Shappert, 26, of
Hanover Twp., nished sec-
ond among the females, one
minute behind Orrson. Orrson
will go into the nal race with
a commanding lead.
Unlike Celona, Orrson used
a different strategy on the
Giants Despair hill.
I tried to go out slow,
Orrson said. Everyone was
telling me not to go out too
fast. I let a group of guys go
out ahead of me. I began to
pick it up just after the halfway
point. I tried to push the nal
section (the steepest part of
the course) as hard as I could.
But, it felt to me that at that
point, I was walking, she said
with a smile.
Notes
Giants Despair hill has a 22
percent upgrade over at least
one third of the course. The
infamous Alpe d Huez the
mountain pasture in the central
Alps which is part of the Tour
de France bike race features
somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of a 15 percent upgrade.
Celona runs for Jenkintown-
Fairmont Running Company.
He ran cross country and track
for Archbishop Ryan High
School. He was part of his
schools All-America distance
medley relay team in 2008.
Bodary ran cross country
and track for Bishop Shanahan
High School and for the
University of Tennessee.
Buck ran cross country and
track for Cardinal OHara
High School, Kansas State
University and Shippensburg
University.
Pszeniczny ran cross coun-
try and track for Shippensburg
University and for Bloomsburg
University. He received All-
America honors twice at Bloom.
Orrson ran cross country and
track for Lake-Lehman High
School and for Misericordia
University. Last season, as a
senior, Orrson qualied for
Nationals in the 10,000 meter
run.
Cameron ran cross country
and track for Souderton High
School and for Misericordia
University.
Lukas didnt run in high
school. She was a forward on
the Wyoming Valley West eld
hockey team.

Runners take off Wednesday night during the Giants Despair 1-Mile Challange, part of the Valleys Fasest Man and
Woman Series.
The RailRiders couldnt overcome a
rough start by pitcher Brett Marshall,
who fell to 7-10after allowing fve
runs through the frst fve innings.
The RailRiders had the potential tying
runs on base in both the seventh and
eighth innings, but couldnt cash in
while managing just six hits against
Pawtucket pitching. Not to worry,
maybe DerekJeter can help generate
some ofense when theYankees
star makes a second rehab trip to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tonight.
RailRiders at the plate: Ronnier
Mustelier was the hitting star, going
3-for-3while scoring one run and
driving home another. Alberto
Gonzalez added a single and a
sacrifce fy.
RailRiders on the mound: After
starter Brett Marshall left following
fve innings of struggles, the RailRiders
bullpen did a solid job. Yoshinori
Tateyama was spectacular, retiring
all six men he faced and striking out
fve of them. Former Phillies reliever
David Herndon worked the fnal two
innings, struck out two and allowed
one unearned run.
Riding the Rails: Its another Derek
Jeter day in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as
theYankees iconic shortstop starts a
rehab stint tonight with the RailRiders
while trying to recover froma strained

Lillibridge and Gonzalez
didnt produce much.
Meanwhile, Pawtucket found
plenty of production stepping
in against RailRiders starter
Marshall.
The PawSox tagged him
for seven hits and ve runs
through ve innings, putting the
RailRiders in what proved to be
an inescapable hole.
Jeremy Hazelbaker started the
damage with a two-run double
in the second inning, after Mark
Hamilton began the inning with
a double and Drew Sutton drew
a walk.
The RailRiders threatened to
draw even in the bottom of the
inning, when Murphys grounder
brought Johnson home with
the teams rst run and sent
Mustelier to third base. But he
stayed there when Adonis Garcia
grounded out to end the inning.
Pawtucket got a fewmore runs
on Hamiltons sacrice y in the
third inning and during a two-
run fth, when Jackie Bradley Jr.
scored on a ground out and Dan
Butler delivered Brock Holt with
a sacrice y for a 5-1 Pawtucket
lead.
From there, the RailRiders
never did solve PawSox starter
Allen Webster who struck out
seven over 5 2/3 innings and
three Pawtucket relievers.
The PawSox added an insur-
ance run in the ninth against
former Phillies reliever David
Herndon, who was victimized
by an error that sent Hazelbaker
home with the games nal score.

shortstop, Jeter is just 4-for-
19 with one homer after play-
ing less than a weeks worth

After Jeter left the RailRiders,

After thumb surgery, Diehl
out six weeks.
TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. For the second
time in as many days, the
New York Giants have
shufed their offensive
line because of an injury.
A day after being
moved from right tackle
to left guard, veteran
David Diehl was forced to
have surgery on his right
thumb on Wednesday. He
hurt it on Sunday against
Indianapolis and had
expected to play with his
hand in a cast.
The pain and doctors
changed those plans,
and the line just three
days before the annual
preseason game between
the Giants (1-1) and Jets
(1-1) at MetLife Stadium.
Kevin Boothe, who
moved to center on
Tuesday because of a
knee injury to David
Baas, was moved back to
left guard. Jim Cordle,
who had replaced Baas
in the game, was back at
center with the starting
unit, which also includes
Will Beatty at left tackle
and rst-round draft pick
Justin Pugh at right tack-
le.
The doctor felt like he
really needed to have the
thumb corrected so he
could go forward, coach
Tom Coughlin said of the
32-year-old who is enter-
ing his 11th season. He
has been in a lot of pain.
He is a tough guy. Youd
never even know it until
the doctor jumped in.
Hell get this xed and
he will be back.
The best guess is that
Diehl will be sidelined six
weeks, although Coughlin
was relying on the doc-
tors for the estimate.
appreciate all the
tweets, support, &prayers
from all of you. A Setback
is a setup for a Comeback.
You know Ill work to
come back ASAP, Diehl
tweeted Wednesday after-
noon.
Entering his third
season with the Giants,
Cordle has never started
a regular-season game.
His promotion to the rst
team comes a day after
the coaches revamped
the line instead of sim-
ply moving him from the
backup center to starter.
However, the coaches
made that move to get
Pugh into the lineup
and their best ve offen-
sive linemen on the eld.
He played well the
other night, Coughlin
said of Cordle. We
thought that was the best
move for now.
The downside look-
ing down the road to the
season opener at Dallas
Sept. 8 is the Giants
will have two new starters
on the line.
Its time to go gure
it out, thats for sure,
Coughlin said, adding he
hopes the nal two pre-
season games offer the
line a chance to learn and
grow cohesive as a unit.
Diehl practiced on
Tuesday with a cast on
his right hand, and didnt
seem concerned, saying
he has done it before.
After an MRI and exami-
nation by Dr. Robert
Hotchkiss Wednesday
morning, it was deter-
mined the injury required
surgery.
Obviously Daves inju-
ry is a tough one, Boothe
said before practice. If
anybody can play through
it, Dave can. For it to be
that signicant, its some-
thing that needed atten-
tion now. Well regroup.
Unfortunately weve had
experiences of guys going
down and well respond.
Diehl is coming off a
disappointing 2012. And
though he worked hard
in the offseason to get his
form back, he struggled
Sunday vs. the Colts.
The Giants had hoped
that moving him inside
would help, because he
would not have to con-
tend with the speed rush
from the outside. That
would, they thought,
allow him to use his brute
strength in straight-ahead
blocking.
Pugh is more athletic
than Diehl, and it was
obvious the Giants want-
ed to get him going as
soon as possible.

PHILADELPHIA
There could be one clip
of Hall of Famers that
wont make the NFL Films
archives: The sight of
John Riggins and other
greats heading to court
seeking a big payday from
the company.
Ten former NFL play-
ers, including ve Hall of
Famers, want the league
to pay if NFL Films uses
images of them without
their consent. They led
a lawsuit in New Jersey to
reclaim payment for the
use of their names, images
and likenesses from lm
footage they say was used
on NFL Network and to
promote the league with-
out the ex-players consent.
Jon King, an attorney
for the players, compared
the lawsuit, led on
Tuesday, to the one from
former UCLA basketball
star Ed OBannon against
the NCAA because they
deal with individuals
rights to control the use of
their image.
The NCAA, and video
game company Electronic
Arts, are facing similar
suits in California. This
case cites a recent ruling
in California that deter-
mined EA Sports could
not use First Amendment
protections to defend its
actions.
In the EA case, it had to
do with computer graph-
ics depictions of players,
King said Wednesday. As
technology increases, it
becomes more lifelike and
realistic. In the NFL Films
case, its the players imag-
es, but committed to lm
for DVD and really, more
these days, for distribution
on the NFL Network.
Hall of Famers includ-
ing Riggins, Dave Casper,
Tom Mack, Curley Culp
and Ron Yary are part of
the lawsuit.
NFL Films has never
obtained authorization
from retired players to
use their images to be,
as NFL Films puts it, the
backbone of the NFL
Network, according to
the 81-page ling obtained
by The Associated Press.
NFL Films conduct goes
far beyond simply use of
images without consent.
It continues to this day to
strike licensing business
deals, in New Jersey, afr-
matively, and falsely, mis-
representing that it has
obtained all former play-
ers consent to appear in
its promotional materials.
The NFL does likewise.
There was a $50 mil-
lion settlement in April
between the NFL and a
group of retired players
seeking publicity rights.
The NFL said Wednesday
that settlement was fair
and reasonable and
should be enough to pla-
cate this group of players.
We agree with the judge
that the settlement will
benet the large class of
retired players particularly
those in need of medical
and nancial assistance,
NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello said Wednesday.
The complaint against
the NFL and NFL
Productions notes that in
1993, all players contracts
began to include clauses
that granted the NFL

CHICAGO Early
signs of a destructive
brain disease linked with
head blows might include
mood changes in young-
er athletes and mental
decline at older ages, a
small study of deceased
former players suggests.
The researchers think
the disease could involve
two distinct patterns of
symptoms, although the
study doesnt prove that
the behavior reported by
families was caused by
the brain disease, which
was found after the ath-
letes died.
The study is the larg-
est report on a series of
cases involving autopsy-
conrmed chronic trau-
matic encephalopathy, or
CTE, said lead author
Robert Stern, a neurol-
ogy professor at Boston
Universitys medical
school. It involved 36 for-
mer athletes mostly
professional football play-
ers whod experienced
repeated head blows.
Their brains were donat-
ed for research by their
families.
The results were pub-
lished online Wednesday
in the journal Neurology.
Results were based on
brain imaging after death,
medical records and fam-
ily interviews. Players
involved were all men,
aged 17 to 98. Six died
from suicide.
In younger play-
ers, mood and behav-
ior changes, including
depression and explosive
tempers, began appear-
ing at an average age of
35, long before mental
decline. But in older play-
ers, mental decline, start-
ing around age 59, was
the rst symptom.
Overall, 22 players
rst developed mood or
behavior changes and
11 initially had memory
problems or other men-
tal decline. Three players
had no symptoms.
The results echo
research in former box-
ers with punch drunk
symptoms, but that evi-
dence didnt include brain
imaging, Stern said.
He said he hopes the
study will help lead to
ways of diagnosing CTE
before death and treating
the disease.
The researchers
acknowledged the studys
limitations, including the
small size and lack of a
comparison group of for-
mer players without the
disease. Larger studies
might reveal other dis-
tinct patterns of symp-
toms, they said.
Little is known about
CTE and its causes, but
repeated head injuries
including concussions are
thought to be a risk fac-
tor. The disease process
is thought to begin long
before symptoms appear
and involves an increas-
ing buildup of abnormal
proteins in the brain.
But Stern said, theres
no way to ever make a
link directly between
symptoms and brain dis-
ease found after death.
Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher,
director of a University of
Michigan sports neurol-
ogy program, echoed that
comment and said the
study athletes symptoms
could have been caused
by something other than
CTE, including depres-
sion, medication use,
sleep deprivation, or nor-
mal aging. Several for-
mer NFL stars have been
diagnosed with the dis-
ease after death in recent
years, including Junior
Seau, Dave Duerson and
Ray Easterling, who all
had troubling symptoms
and committed suicide.
Thousands of for-
mer players have sued
the NFL, claiming the
league withheld infor-
mation about damaging
effects of repeated head
blows and concussions.

FLOWERY BRANCH, GA.
Anyone who bought an Osi
Umenyiora No. 90 jersey after he
signed with the Atlanta Falcons is
going to be in for a surprise.
The defensive end is now wear-
ing No. 50.
Umenyiora took the practice
eld Wednesday donning the
new number after working out a
swap with young linebacker Pat
Schiller, who spent last season on
the practice squad and is back to
take another shot at making the
team.
My folks said they didnt like
didnt like 90 on me, Umenyiora
said.
Why?
I dont know, he replied.
They just didnt like it.
Umenyiora has been on quite
a numerical journey after sign-
ing with the Falcons during the
offseason, having spent the rst
decade of his career with the New
York Giants.
He wore No. 72 with the
Giants, but that number belonged
to Atlantas top offensive lineman,
Sam Baker. Umenyiora chose No.
90, but that only lasted through
two preseason games.
After being urged by his par-
ents to switch, Umenyiora asked
about 58, only to be told that
number was unofcially retired
by the team after being worn
by longtime Falcons linebacker
Jessie Tuggle. The next choice
was 57, but Umenyiora ran into
the same issue that number
was once worn by Falcons great
Jeff Van Note and is no longer
given out.
So, Umenyiora settled on No.
50 which may be more appro-
priate, anyway, given hes been
lining up a lot at outside line-
backer during the preseason with
Atlanta trying out a 3-4 align-
ment. Linebackers generally wear
numbers in the 50s.
Of course, changing numbers
meant working out an arrange-
ment with Schiller.
The second-year player couldnt
resist having a little fun when
asked about the negotiations.
I denitely came out on top,
Schiller said. He took me to all-
you-can-eat Golden Corral.
Playing along, a reporter point-
ed out that Umenyiora got off for
about $10 not bad for a guy
who signed a two-year, $8.5 mil-
lion deal with the Falcons.
Is that what it costs? Schiller
said with a straight face. Well, I
loaded up on the rolls. I very much
stuffed my face. Umenyiora
chuckled when told of his team-
mates comments. Is that what
he told you? Umenyiora asked.
It was a little more expensive
than that. I took care of him.
Schiller gets the last word in
these negotiations.

the second half of a preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Aug. 8. He
switched his number to 50.
the Denver Broncos and cut by the NewYork Jets
in a span of 13 months.
Yeah, denitely, Belichick said. I think if you
look at the entire week last week, that it will look
different than the game did.
Tebow could get another chance in the third
preseason game on Thursday night against the
Lions in Detroit. Thatll be ve days before the
mandatory roster cut to 75 players. The Patriots
nish the exhibition schedule Aug. 29 against the
New York Giants. The nal cut to 53 comes two
days later.
Tebow, as expected, says hes not thinking
about his prospects of sticking around. Grasping
the NewEngland offense is difcult enough.
I just focus one day at a time, he says, improv-
ing every single practice.
Its not even an issue?
Just getting ready for the practice, he says
with a smile.
Belichick has been typically reticent. The
Patriots signed Tebow for a reason, of course,
and though New England often carries just two
quarterbacks, the veteran coach is unfazed by pre-
season results.
Asked last week if he plans to keep Tebow, if
healthy, on the 53-man roster, Belichick said,
Thats not anything that were ready to talk about
right now. Alot of competition out there. Well see
howit all plays out.
There are some factors in Tebows favor.
He could be used as a punt protector, forcing
opponents to play for a fake on a direct snap. He
could line up as a receiver, pose as a decoy, or give
TomBrady a target for a quick pass to the sideline
that he can run with. Hes played only quarterback
in training camp drills, all open to the media, but
could be used elsewhere now that the practices
are open for just a short time period.
With Tom Brady having thrown all but 47 of
the Patriots passes the last four years and Ryan
Mallett entrenched as the backup, coaches may
view Tebow as a project with plenty of time to
work on his quarterbacking skills without having
to play in games.
And would the Patriots really keep a sixth
defensive end or sixth cornerback instead of him?
But then, there are the negatives.
The Patriots have kept just two quarterbacks in
three of the past four years. Tebowtends to scram-
ble too soon, without exhausting all options down
the eld. And when he does look down there, nd-
ing his third or fourth receiving option has been a
problem.

a new contract would run about
$1.5 billion if DirecTVwere to make

DirecTV has a market capitaliza-

be unlikely to remain for long in a

Bazinet believes DirecTV inves-

DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
JERSEY CITY, N.J.
This might be the best way
to measure Tiger Woods
season. Sam Snead is get-
ting more attention than
Jack Nicklaus.
Woods said again
Wednesday at The Barclays
this already has been a
great season, and its dif-
cult to argue. His ve wins
including two World
Golf Championships and
The Players Championship
are three more than
anyone else on the PGA
Tour. He is leading all the
right indicators, such as
the Vardon Trophy for the
lowest scoring average, the
money list ($2.6 million
more than anyone else)
and the No. 1 seed going
into the FedEx Cup play-
offs that start Thursday.
The standard for Woods,
however, always has been
the majors, and he was shut
out for the fth straight year.
His lack of winning
a major is the only thing
talked about, which I think
is sad, Bill Haas said. I
think its ignorant. But
thats what we are basing
his year on. He may even
say, Oh, Im disappointed
because I didnt win a
major. But hes not winning
the smaller events. Hes
winning the WGCs and Bay
Hill. And yes, it makes what
hes doing that much more
impressive, absolutely.
Woods is stuck on 14
majors, leaving him four
short of the Nicklaus stan-
dard. The ve wins this
year, after three wins in
2012, has put him at 79
career wins, moving him
closer to Sneads record 82
wins on the PGA Tour.
I tell you what, I never
thought I would ever get
there this quick, Woods
said. Its been an amazing
run to get here. One of the
things Im most proud of is
winning ve or more tour-
naments 10 years in there.
Thats one of the stats that
I look at as one of the ones
Im really proud of. This is
one of those years.
The next chance to add
to his wins starts Thursday
at The Barclays, the rst
of four FedEx Cup playoff
events against some of the
strongest elds of the year.
Yes, the majors are over.
There is still plenty up
for grabs for Woods,
British Open champion
Phil Mickelson and even
someone like Rory McIlroy.
Even though he has twice
as many wins as anyone
else, Mickelson could make
a case for PGA Tour player
of the year if he were to win
a playoff or event (or two),
particularly the FedEx Cup
and its $10 million prize.
Despite two decades of
greatness and a spot in the
World Golf Hall of Fame,
Mickelson has never won
player of the year, a money
title or the Vardon Trophy.
Haas didnt hesitate
when asked who had the
best year Woods.
Neither did Masters
champion Adam Scott.
Its hard to pass up
looking at ve wins, Scott
said. I think the next best
guy might have two, is that
right? Thats a great year
to win that many times.
Its all personal opinion. If
you think winning a major
is what you base success
on, then if you havent
(won), you havent had a
great year. But winning
Ive always based it around
winning events, and I dont
think one major makes up
for ve tournaments.
That led to another
question posed to Scott:
Would he trade seasons
with Woods?
Id rather have mine,
thats for sure, said Scott,
who collected his rst
major at Augusta National.
He may want mine. I
mean, No. 15 is proving to
be difcult for him, so that
would have given him that.
But theyve all got to get
tougher the more you get.
He is facing one of the
toughest elds in the year
featuring the top 125 play-
ers on the PGA Tour, all of
whom are in form, some of
whomare desperate to go as
far as they can in these lucra-
tive FedEx Cup playoffs.
Only the top 100 advance
next week to the Deutsche
Bank Championship.
For Woods, still some work to do
LAS VEGAS Los
Angeles Clippers star Chris
Paul was elected president
of the NBA players associ-
ation Wednesday, replacing
Derek Fisher.
The vote by NBA player
representatives came six
months after the union
red Billy Hunter as
executive director, a posi-
tion that remains vacant.
Hunter countered with
a wrongful-termination
lawsuit in May, accusing
Fisher of conspiring with
NBA ofcials during the
2011 lockout.
We denitely discussed
(hiring an executive direc-
tor), but theres no rush,
Paul said. For us, its all
about getting our house in
order and making sure that
everything moves right in
that direction.
Paul was a vice president
on the executive commit-
tee for the past four years.
It was something I
saw as a challenge, some-
thing I knew Id be able to
handle, Paul said. Its an
unbelievable opportunity, a
lot of responsibility comes
with this position but Im
very fortunate to have an
outstanding of committee
guys. The past couple of
days have been outstand-
ing, the dialogue weve had
as an executive committee
also with the players that
have come in town, it was
amazing.
In meetings at the
Venetian Hotel, Roger
Mason Jr. was elected rst
vice president. He replaced
Jerry Stackhouse, who
resigned from the ofce
and is expected to take a
position within the union.
Anthony Tolliver and
Steve Blake were elected
vice presidents, lling the
executive committee posi-
tions vacated by Paul and
Mason.

PHILADELPHIA
Michael Young hit the
winning single with one
out in the ninth inning
after Carlos Ruiz tied
the game with a double,
pushing the Philadelphia
Phillies past the Colorado
Rockies 4-3 on Wednesday
night.
Erik Kratz opened the
ninth with a double off
Rockies closer Rafael
Betancourt (2-4). Pinch
runner Casper Wells
advanced to third on
a grounder and scored
the tying run on Ruizs
pinch-hit double to
left. Jimmy Rollins was
walked intentionally and
Young followed with the
winning single to left.
Jake Diekman (1-3)
tossed a scoreless ninth
for the win.
The Phillies stormed
out of the dugout and
mobbed Young for the
biggest celebration yet in
six games under interim
manager Ryne Sandberg.
Nolan Arenados two-
out single in the eighth
inning had put Colorado
up 3-2. Arenado made
a game-saving stop at
third base in Colorados
5-3 win on Tuesday. One
game later, he poked an
opposite eld single to
right off reliever Justin
De Fratus.
Betancourt just
couldnt make it stand.
Wilin Rosario homered
for Colorado. Chase Utley
went deep for the Phillies.
De Fratus hit Charlie
Blackmon to open
the eighth. Michael
Cuddyer hit a one-out
single and Arenado made
it 3-2 after his run-scoring
single.
After losing three of
four at Baltimore, the
Rockies have dropped
two of three so far in the
four-game series against
the Phillies.
Rockies starter Juan
Nicasio allowed two runs
one earned in 5 2-3
innings and worked out
of several jams to keep it
close.
Phillies starter Cliff
Lee remained winless
since July 5 and is 0-4
with two no-decisions
since beating Atlanta. He
kept the Phillies in this
one, striking out six and
walking none over seven
innings.
The Phillies blew
several opportunities to
help out Lee and bust the
game open.
They stranded runners
on second and third when
Lee struck out swinging
to end the second. They
scored only one run after
loading the bases with no
outs in the fth. Michael
Young grounded into a
double play to score one
run and make it 2-2. Utley
fouled out to end the
inning.
Nicasio was chased
with runners on rst and
second and two outs in
the sixth. Wilton Lopez
fanned John Mayberry
Jr. on a check swing to
escape the jam.
They had some timely
hitting in the rst when
Utleys 16th homer of the
season staked Lee to a 1-0
lead.
Rosario tied it a 1 on
a solo shot to right in
the second that extended
his hitting streak to 12
games. Dexter Fowler
ripped an RBI single to
left later in the inning for
a 2-1 lead but Domonic
Brown threw out Jordan
Pacheco at home to end
the inning.

New Yorks doubleheader
sweep Tuesday. He gave
up a one-out double to
Rajai Davis, but picked
him off second, and
then struck out Edwin
Encarnacion looking to
end the game.
The Yankees have won
10 of 13.
Dickey overcame a
rough start, giving up
four hits in the rst three
innings and putting a
runner in scoring posi-
tion with a wild pitch
before settling in with his
knuckleball in ideal hot
conditions. He struck out
nine and gave up six hits.
But after retiring 14 of
15, he allowed a two-out
single to Robinson Cano.
Soriano then snapped a
0-for-17 skid with a two-
run shot to left for the 4-2
lead. Thole, who caught
Dickey throughout much
of his NL Cy Young
Award season with the
New York Mets last year,
had two passed balls in
the rst inning, but the
Yankees failed to score.
In the second, Eduardo
Nunez singled and stole
second. Dickeys wild
pitch sent Nunez to third,
and Austin Romines sac-
rice y tied it at 1.
Munenori Kawasaki
had given Toronto the
early lead with an RBI
single in the top half.
The Blue Jays have led
in each of the three
games in this series and
lost all three. They have
dropped eight in a row
against New York.

MLB STANDINGS STATS
NEW YORK Chris
Johnson hit a three-run
homer in the 10th inning
and Atlanta beat the New
YorkMets 4-1onWednesday
after Braves outelder Jason
Heyward was hit in the right
jawby a pitch.
Heyward went down in
a heap during a scary scene
at Citi Field in the sixth. He
was examined by Mets doc-
tors and taken to a hospital
for X-rays.
Atlanta, with the best
record in baseball and a huge
lead in the NL East, got an
RBI single from Freddie
Freeman and another
impressive start by rookie
Alex Wood in splitting the
two-game series for its 20th
victory in 24 games. The
Braves also beneted from a
disputed call in the 10th.
Padres 2, Pirates 1
SAN DIEGO Ian
Kennedy pitched seven
strong innings, combining
with two relievers on a four-
hitter, and Yonder Alonso
drove in two runs as the San
Diego Padres beat the NL
Central-leading Pittsburgh
Pirates to avoida three-game
sweep.
Kennedy, who played at
Southern Cal, outpitched
Gerrit Cole, who pitched
at UCLA before the Pirates
made himthe rst pick over-
all in the June 2011 draft.
Kennedy (5-9) won for the
second time in four starts
since being obtained from
the NL West-rival Arizona
Diamondbacks on July 31.
He held Pittsburgh to four
hits, struck out eight and
walked three.
Luke Gregerson pitched
the eighth and Huston
Street worked the ninth for
his 24th save in 25 chances..
Cardinals 8, Brewers 6
MILWAUKEE Carlos
Beltran and Allen Craig hit
towering home runs in St.
Louis six-run second inning,
and the Cardinals held off
the Milwaukee Brewers.
Matt Holliday also hom-
ered and Shane Robinson
had three hits for the
Cardinals, who have a slight
lead over the Pittsburgh
Pirates in the NL Central
race.
Dodgers 4, Marlins 1
MIAMI Zack Greinke
allowed one run in eight
innings to win his fourth
start in a row, and the Los
Angeles Dodgers took
advantage of sloppy defense
by the Miami Marlins for the
second consecutive night.
Greinke (12-3) allowed six
hits, walked none and low-
ered his ERA to 2.91.
The Marlins lone run
came on a rst-inning homer
by Giancarlo Stanton, and
they had only one hit after
the fourth inning.

SAN FRANCISCO
Stephen Drew and Will
Middlebrooks each hit a
home run, Jonny Gomes
and Jarrod Saltalamacchia
drove in two runs apiece and
the Boston Red Sox beat the
San Francisco Giants 12-1
on Wednesday.
Felix Doubront (9-6)
rebounded from a tough
outing to pitch eight strong
innings for the Red Sox,
who have won three of
ve and entered play in a
virtual rst-place tie with
Tampa Bay in the AL East.
Doubront gave up one run
on ve hits. He walked one
and struck out three.
Joaquin Arias homered
among his two hits for the
Giants, who have lost three
of four. Barry Zito (4-9) last-
ed 3 2-3 innings in his rst
start since July 30.
Orioles 4, Rays 2
BALTIMORE Chris
Davis hit his major league
leading 46th home run,
Adam Jones also homered,
and the Baltimore Orioles
beat the Tampa Bay Rays to
avoid a three-game sweep.
Davis connected against
Jeremy Hellickson (10-7)
leading off the fth inning.
The drive landed on Eutaw
Street beyond the 25-foot
wall in right eld and gave
the Orioles a 4-2 lead.
Wei-Yin Chen (7-6) gave
up two runs and six hits
in seven innings to help
Baltimore win for only the
third time in nine games.
The left-hander was backed
by three double plays, two of
which he started.
Darren ODay worked
a perfect eighth and gave
up a leadoff single to Wil
Myers in the ninth before
Brian Matusz walked pinch-
hitter James Loney. Tommy
Hunter thengot two straight
outs, and with runners on
the corners, Kelly Johnson
was thrown out trying to
steal second. It was Hunters
fourth save.
OAKLAND, Calif.
Brendan Ryan hit a two-
run double in the sixth
and added an RBI single in
the eighth, and the Seattle
Mariners beat the Oakland
Athletics.
Michael Morse and Brad
Miller homered for Seattle,
which overcame an uneven
start by Hisashi Iwakuma
to beat the As for the fourth
time in the past ve games
between the division rivals.
Iwakuma (12-6) gave up
a pair of home runs and
pitched with runners in
scoring position most of
the afternoon, but limited
the damage to win his sec-
ond straight. The Mariners
right-hander struck out four
and walked two in seven
innings.
Coco Crisp and Brandon
Moss hit home runs for the
As, who are 15-16 since the
All-Star break.

out two in a perfect inning
in relief of Anibal Sanchez.
Jose Veras entered with
twoouts inthe eighthinning
and closed the game for his
rst save with the Tigers.
Kevin Correia (8-10)
allowed four runs two
earned and nine hits over
6 2-3 innings.

ANAHEIM, Calif.
Justin Masterson pitched
effectively into the seventh
inning, Nick Swisher hit
a two-run homer and the
Cleveland Indians complet-
ed a three-game sweep of
the Los Angeles Angels.
The Indians, who began
the day 5 1/2 games behind

Central and 3 1/2 behind
Oakland in the race for
the second wild card spot,
improved to 69-58 and sur-
passed last seasons win
total with 35 games to spare.

a run and ve hits over
6 2-3 innings, tied a sea-
son high with ve walks
and struck out seven.

Wal-Mart holiday
layaway fee ends
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is getting rid of
the $5 entry fee for customers wanting
to open its interest-free, pay-over-time
program for holiday gifts.
The move comes as the worlds larg-
est retailer is seeing that its low-income
shoppers remain pinched in an uncertain
economy.
The holiday layaway program is slated
to kick off Sept. 13 and will last until
Dec. 13. About 35,500 items will be
available, 1,000 more than a year ago.
At the same time, Wal-Mart is bringing
back its $10 cancellation fee that was
eliminated last year.
Wal-Mart phased out its layaway plan
in September 2006 roughly a year
before the recession began with the
exception of jewelry.
DALLAS, TExAS
Ex-United worker
to plead to threat
A former United Airlines ight atten-
dant has agreed to plead guilty to mak-
ing a bomb threat against a United jet
ying between London and Los Angeles.
A United spokeswoman conrmed
that the man had worked for the air-
line but declined to comment further.
The man had been hired by American
Airlines to become a ight attendant
shortly before he was arrested.
According to court documents, Patrick
Cau used pay phones near his Los
Angeles home and around the country to
make threats against six United ights
between last October and January.
Under an agreement led last week in
federal district court in Los Angeles, Cau
will plead guilty to one count of making
a bomb threat against a plane. Cau, who
also goes by the name Patrick Kaiser, is
expected to enter a plea Monday and be
sentenced this fall.

Kia recalling
SUVs over axles
Kia is recalling more than 9,700 SUVs
in the U.S. and Canada because the front
axle can fail and the vehicles can lose
power.
The recall affects 2014 Sorento SUVs
with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines and
front-wheel-drive. They were built from
Jan. 7 through March 12 of this year.
Kia says the right axle drive shaft
can crack and fail. If that happens, the
SUVs can lose power or roll away when
parked. The company says there havent
been any crashes or injuries reported.
Owners will be notied by letter.

WASHINGTON
Existing-home sales in July
jumped to their highest level
since late 2009, as buyers
looked to lock in mortgage
rates before they rise further,
according to data released
Wednesday morning.
The National Association
of Realtors reported exist-
ing-home sales in July rose
6.5 percent to a season-
ally adjusted annual rate of
5.39 million. That level was
the highest since late 2009,
when buyers rushed to meet
a tax-credit deadline.
Economists polled by
MarketWatch had expected
Julys existing-home sales to
reach a rate of 5.21 million,
compared with an original
June estimate of a 5.08 mil-
lion rate. On Wednesday,
NAR revised Junes rate to
5.06 million.
With sales up 17.2 per-
cent from last year, the lat-
est report shows a market
that continues to rebound.
Economists expect pent-up
demand to continue to sup-
port sales, but theres also
concern about the longer-
term effect of rising rates on
affordability.
Since early May, the
average rate for the 30-year
xed-rate mortgage has
increased more than 1 per-
centage point to hit 4.40
percent this month, accord-
ing to weekly data from fed-
erally controlled mortgage
buyer Freddie Mac. Since
rates started rising, appli-
cations for home-purchase
loans have declined, and
applications to renance
have dropped, according
to weekly reports from
the Mortgage Bankers
Association.
Although existing-home
sales have been rising for
three years, theres still room
for growth. Julys annual
rate was below an average
pace of about 6.1 million in
the ve years that led up to
a 2005 peak of about 7.2 mil-
lion.
Economists say lim-
ited inventory, as well as
slow employment growth,
have hampered sales. On
Wednesday, NARsaid inven-
tories rose 5.6 percent to
2.28 million homes available
for sale in July, a 5.1-month
supply at current sales rates.
Despite that increase, sup-
ply remains below the year-
earlier level of 6.3 months.
The situation still
remains tight, but other
industry reports suggest
that we appear to be in the
early stages of a loosening
up in the inventory situa-
tion, said Stephen Stanley,
an economist at Pierpont
Securities.
Rising prices might sup-
port inventories, as more
sellers are willing and able
to place their homes on the
market.
NAR reported the medi-
an price of a home was
$213,500 in July, up 13.7
percent fromthe year-earlier
level. NAR added that all-
cash deals remained high in
July, while there were rela-
tively few rst-time buyers
and distressed sales.
If prices continue to rise
as such high annual rates,
that could spell trouble.
The market needs home
builders to ramp up produc-
tion and expand inventories,
said Lawrence Yun, NARs
chief economist. But build-
ers face a variety of head
winds.
On Friday, the govern-
ment will report new-home
sales, andeconomists expect
the annual rate to decline to
485,000 in July from a rate
of 497,000 in June.

Facebook wants to get
more of the worlds more
than 7 billion people
all of them, actually
online through a part-
nership with some of the
worlds largest mobile
technology companies.
Facebook Inc.
announced a partnership
called Internet.org on
Wednesday. In addition
to the worlds biggest
online social network,
the group also includes
Korean electronics
giant Samsung, Finnish
handset maker Nokia
and wireless chip maker
Qualcomm Inc.
Facebook said the
groups goal is to make
Internet access available
to the two-thirds of the
world who are not yet
connected about 5
billion people.
The groups plans
include developing
cheaper smartphones
and tools that would
reduce the amount of
data required to run
apps. For Facebook, the
move would certainly
add more users to its
current 1.15 billion, but
CEO Mark Zuckerberg
paints it as something
bigger.
For nine years, weve
been on a mission to con-
nect the world. We now
connect more than 1 bil-
lion people, but to con-
nect the next 5 billion
we must solve a much
bigger problem: the
vast majority of people
dont have access to the
internet, Zuckerberg
wrote on his Facebook
page along with a paper
titled Is Connectivity A
Human Right?
He points out the
people who already use
Facebook have way
more money than the
rest of the world com-
bined. That means it
may not actually be
protable for us to serve
the next few billion peo-
ple for a very long time,
if ever. But we believe
everyone deserves to be
connected.
Javier Olivan, vice
president of growth and
analytics at Facebook,
said the move continues
what the company has
already beendoing to get
more people online. This
includes Facebook For
Every Phone, an app
that launched in 2011 to
let people with simple,
non-smartphones use
Facebook.
Wireless equipment
company Ericsson,
Web browser devel-
oper Opera Software
and MediaTek, another
wireless semiconductor
company, are also found-
ing members of Internet.

WASHINGTON The
Federal Reserve appears on
track to slow its bond purchas-
es by the end of this year if the
economy continues to improve.
But it remains divided over the
exact timing of the move.
Thats the message from the
minutes of the Feds July 30-31
meeting released Wednesday.
A few policymakers said they
wanted to assess more econom-
ic data before deciding when
to scale back the central banks
$85 billion a month in Treasury
and mortgage bond purchases.
Others said it might soon be
time to slow the purchases,
which have helped keep long-
term rates near record lows.
Since the July policy meeting,
a few Fed ofcials have suggest-
ed the central bank could slow
the bond buying in September.
By then, updated reports on
U.S. employment and economic
growth will have been issued.
The Fed is considered
most likely to slow its bond
buying after its September
or December policy meet-
ing because after each one,
Chairman Ben Bernanke will
hold a news conference and
could explain such a major step.
The Fed holds eight policy
meetings a year; four include
news conferences by the chair-
man. Besides September and
December, the Fed will also
meet in October before the year
ends.
In June, Bernanke signaled
the Fed would scale back its
purchases later this year as long
as the economy continued to
improve. And he said the pur-
chases would likely end by the
middle of 2014, when the Fed
expects the unemployment
rate to be around 7 percent.

JEFF STRICKLER
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
MINNEAPOLIS It was
love at rst sight when Bryce
Wergeland and Teri Woolard
saw Molly the beagle, but they
had promised themselves they
wouldnt be swayed by a cute
face.
They met Molly on a Friday.
They went home and spent
the weekend talking about her,
including making sure that she
complied with their condos
pet policy, even hashing out
which one of them would be
responsible for her morning
walks. Then they went back to
the Animal Humane Societys
adoption center in Golden
Valley, Minn., on Monday to
visit her again.
By the time they returned
Tuesday to pick up Molly
and take her home, they were
ready to lavish their love on
her, condent they had made
the right decision.
When we decided to pick
out a dog, we agreed that we
wouldnt do it based just on
emotion, Wergeland said.
Thats why we came back to
visit her again. We wanted to
make sure we had the same
reaction.
In doing so, they avoided one
of the major pitfalls in picking
out a dog the impulse deci-
sion that backres.
Before people think about
going out and getting a dog,
they want to think about
what kind of dog they want,
said Paula Zukoff, behavior
and training manager at the
Humane Society. What do
they want the dog to do? And
how much time do they have
for a dog? Then go out and
nd that dog rather than going
out and nding a dog on looks
and then nding out that you
cant mold that dog into the
kind of dog that you want for
yourself or your family.
Once youve done your
homework, then you can go
with your heart. You see
a dog and it has the quali-
ties you want and theres just
something there, something
about that dog that just cap-
tures your heart, and thats the
dog for you, she said.
The best way to ensure that
emotion doesnt turn your
decision making into a case
of the tail wagging the dog is
to assess the characteristics
both yours and the dogs
that go into a perfect match.
Things to consider include:
Size
As with many aspects of
picking a dog, this involves
both personal preference and
more pragmatic matters, start-
ing with the size of your home.
Certain giant breeds, while
they may not need an immense
amount of exercise, do need a
great deal of space to move
freely about the home, said
Lisa Peterson, spokeswoman
for the American Kennel Club.
Someone who lives in a small
condo or apartment should
think twice about getting a
dog like a Great Dane or mas-
tiff, both of which need a lot of
room to move.
The amount of space you
have outside also can be a fac-
tor. If you get a dog that likes
to run, you either need a yard
where that can take place or
you must be willing to make
regular visits to the local dog
park.
Age
The question of whether to
get a puppy or an adult dog
hinges in large part on how
much work you want to do,
Zukoff said.
Puppies are great, but they
are a lot of work, she said.
Its almost like having a new
baby in the house. And if you
want them to turn out as a
well-rounded, condent dog,
theyre even more work.
But there are advantages to
going the puppy route, among
them being able to train the
dog to your standards from
the outset. If you have young
children, the puppy can grow
up being acclimated to them.
Speaking of children, the
ages of the dog owners also
should be factored in, Zukoff
said.
I always say that if you have
kids, probably a medium-sized
dog would be a good idea,
she recommended. If theyre
really small, then theyre
breakable. And if theyre really
large, then they can uninten-
tionally knock the kids over
and hurt them. Medium-sized
dogs dont get broken or break
the kids.
Exercise
As a general rule, things
work out best when you match
your activity level to the dogs.
Are you looking for a dog that
will go out jogging with you or
one thats satised with a lei-
surely stroll around the block?
An important thing to keep
in mind: The size of the dog
doesnt dictate the amount of
exercise it needs, Peterson
said. Exercise needs vary by
breed and what the breeds
original function was. For
example, a mastiff just needs
light exercise, while the much
smaller border collie needs a
great deal of regular exercise.
She added a warning that
if dogs dont get the stimu-
lation that they need, theyll
nd their own ways to enter-
tain themselves like chew-
ing on your shoes.
Cleanliness
The dogs coat type,
length and thickness deter-
mines how much time and
expense youll need to put into
grooming.
Different breeds have dif-
ferent grooming needs,
Peterson said. Breeds with a
long, heavy coat, such as the
Shetland sheepdog, need regu-
lar grooming to prevent mats
and tangles. Double-coated
breeds such as the Akita
require weekly brushing. Dogs
with hair, like a poodle, need
regular haircuts at the groom-
er.
You also should factor in
extra cleaning time for your
home, Zukoff said.
I think something a lot of
people dont think about is
just how messy dogs can be,
she said. If you get a big, slob-
bery dog like a Newfoundland
or St. Bernard thats going to
be shaking its head and slob-
ber is going to be going every-
where and theres going to be
hair everywhere, youre going
to spend a lot more time vacu-
uming and wiping up the walls
than if you got a little poodle.
See it for yourself
If youre getting a puppy
from a breeder, insist on visit-
ing the kennel.
Ask to see at least one of
the puppys parents, Peterson
urged. Get an idea of what
the future holds for your dog
in terms of temperament
and appearance. Observe the
premises. Is the kennel clean?
Odor-free? Pay attention to
how the dogs and puppies
interact with their breeder.
Does the breeder appear to
genuinely care for the puppies
and their adult dogs?
Look for love
When it comes to picking
out the exact animal that will
be your companion for the
next several years, you want
one that wants to be with you.
When you visit with
the dog, the dog should be
interested in you, should be
watching you, Zukoff said.
It should have a slow wag-
ging tail and just look kind of
loose and friendly. Its when
the dog is more stiff or still
and not paying attention to
you that dog doesnt seem
as friendly and is going to be

SUE MANNING
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Designer
Jill Zarin had to take a cross-
country business trip, but
her dog Ginger was sick. She
couldnt leave the Chihuahua
behind, so she hired a vet to
go with them.
In stepped celebrity vet-
erinarian Dr. Cindy Bressler,
who launched JetSetVets this
year to meet pets needs in the
air. Bressler has a house-call
practice in New York and the
Hamptons. She took on two
partners to start JetSetVets:
Los Angeles and Beverly Hills
veterinarian Patrick Mahaney
and Blue Star Jets, a New York-
based company that promises
to have a small, medium, large
or jumbo jet ready to go any-
where in the world in less than
four hours.
Together, they are believed
to be the countrys only pri-
vate-jet, ride-along-vet, con-
cierge-pet service.
The vets will dispense medi-
cine, change dressings, moni-
tor IVs and drips and handle
any other in-ight medical
care a pet needs. The com-
pany will also prepare ani-
mals for trips, apply for travel
documents and work with vet-
erinary hospitals as needed in
emergencies.
Surgery is out the plane
will make an emergency land-
ing, and the medical team
will get the pet to the nearest
animal hospital but other
alternative treatments are
available, such as acupuncture,
massage, laser treatments and
even an on-ight chef to pre-
pare specialty meals.
A producer who was travel-
ing to Los Angeles with his
epileptic dog hired Bressler
to come along in case the
dog had a seizure and needed
medication. The dog had only
one seizure, and it lasted only
a few minutes.
One clients cat had cancer.
It needed radiation only avail-
able in Colorado, so the cats
New York owner, his assistant,
the ailing cat, the cats feline
companion and Bressler made
the trip. At the hotel, the cats
owner had the presidential
suite remodeled to resemble
his New York apartment and
hired the hotel chef to cook
the cat gourmet meals when
chemotherapy and radiation
treatments zapped its appe-
tite. The owner even had his
cats litter airlifted to Colorado
so it would be familiar.
Bressler returned after 10
days with the cat, she said.
Zarin, who spent four
years as one of the The Real
Housewives of New York City
and is now a designer for
Skweez Couture Shapewear,
met Bressler on that recent
business trip. Zarin said she
was worried 9-year-old Ginger
would lose weight and have
problems with altitude.
Imagine if she lost 10 or 20
percent of her body weight. If
she started vomiting or got
diarrhea, she could get very
sick very quickly, she said.
During the seven-hour, one-
stop ight from New York to
Los Angeles, Bressler treated
Ginger for hemorrhagic gas-
troenteritis with an IV and
medication. Bressler has since
become Gingers regular vet,
though the dog hasnt been
that sick since.
My dog is the most impor-
tant thing to me and ies with
me everywhere I go, Zarin
said. On commercial ights,
Ginger is at Zarins feet under
the passenger seat in front of
her.
In the past decade, Zarin
and Ginger have each logged
about a quarter-million com-
mercial and private sky miles,
Zarin said, and Ginger likes
her carrier so much that she
sometimes curls up in it in the
closet when they are home.
Bressler started Hamptons
Canine Concierge last year.
She is also the concierge vet
at several hotels, including
the Pierre, Mandarin Oriental
and Gramercy Park, while
Mahaney is a certied vet-
erinary acupuncturist and a
certied veterinary journal-
ist. He writes about pet health
in Patricks Blog and several
other online ventures and
does vet work in Iquitos, Peru,
and remote villages on the
Amazon River.
Hes still awaiting his rst
ight.
Todd Rome, president of
Blue Star Jets, said the com-
pany has no size limit on ani-
mals. The company has own
horses, exotic sh and mon-
keys and even transported
seals once.
The company, which has
been around for 13 years and
is the worlds largest air char-
ter broker, has done more than
$1 billion in sales, Rome said.
While the service is in a
class by itself, so is the cost.
Renting a jet can cost between
$1,000 and $12,000 an hour.

Zarin had to take a cross-country business trip, but 9-year-old dog Ginger was
sick. She couldnt leave the 7-pound dog behind, so she hired a vet to go with
them. JetsetVets will provide in-flight medical care, prepare animals for their
trip, apply for travel documents and work with veterinary hospitals globally to
ensure seamless transport and ground care.

Nurses, chefs, medical
equipment, drugs, and other
services, as well as added
jet-related costs, are extra.
Most times, Bressler said,
the best ights are those
when nothing happens.
A few years back, one
of her clients had a dog
about to give birth. The
woman had to travel from
New York to Los Angeles
and back several times and
wanted the dog with her.
We ew back and forth
on her private jet ve times
to monitor the dog in case
she went into labor on
the plane, Bressler said.
Fortunately, the puppies
can call glamorous New
York City their birthplace
instead of the airspace over
Oklahoma.

A CASE STUDY
Lets follow the ctional Pickadog family parents
Richard and Mary, son Tom, 5, and daughter Becky, 1
as they decide which dog to bring home. Based on
their personal preferences, they have narrowed the list
to six options: miniature poodle, Great Dane, black Lab,
basset hound, Weimaraner and Pembroke Welsh corgi.
Here are the issues they consider as they settle on one
of them:
How much space?
The family lives in a condominium that already is
getting a little crowded with all the kid paraphernalia.
This leads them to eliminate the Great Dane. Although
it wouldnt need oodles of exercise, the oversized dog
would require a signicant amount of room to move
around.
Are you willing to exercise?
Richard and Mary work full time, and neither is inter-
ested in devoting large blocks of leisure time to exercis-
ing a dog. Tom isnt old enough to take on the duty. So
they eliminate the black lab, which loves being outdoors,
and the Weimaraner, an athletic dog that thrives on
exercise.
Is it safe around children?
Basset hounds are lovable creatures, but theyve been
known to clear off an entire coffee table with an inadver-
tent wag of the tail. With Becky still mastering her walk-
ing techniques, they decide to avoid this extra challenge
to her balance.
Does it shed?
Richard and Mary already have their hands full taking
care of Tom and Becky. The Pembroke Welsh corgi has
two coats of fur an outer coat and a shorter inner coat
that require regular brushing. Its also considered a high-
shedding dog. They pass.
Their choice
The miniature poodle. Typically about a foot in height
and weighing around 15 pounds, its well-suited to con-
dominium living. It doesnt require extensive amounts of
exercise. Its not so large that it would knock Becky over or
so fragile that it would be scared of her falling. And it has
hair, not fur, so it doesnt shed.
harder to train, it might
be harder for me to bond
with. I always like to say
you want to look for a
loose, wiggly dog as if
its saying, Im all wig-
gly because Im excited
and I love people.
Check the animals
physical appearance, too.
Dogs and puppies
should be clean, well
fed, lively and friendly,
Peterson said.
Look for signs of mal-
nutrition such as protrud-
ing rib cages or illness
such as runny nose or
eyes, coughing, lethargy
and skin sores.
All for one
The addition of a dog
to the family goes better
for the dog and the fam-
ily if everyone is in agree-
ment, Zukoff said.
I think its really
important that every per-
son visits the dog before
you decide, she said.
And I think its impor-
tant for everyone to know
what the dog knows and
what kind of cues youre
going to use to tell the
dog to sit or wait for food
or whatever. That way,
everybodys happy, and
everyone can decide on
one dog.
For Wergeland and
Woolard, picking Molly
was a mutual decision.
Woolard grew up with
beagles, so she was
glad to have another
one. Wergeland grew up
around hunting dogs, but
he found something in
Molly to which he could
relate.
She has bad knees,
and I have bad knees, he
said. Well fit together
when we go for walks.

GLAADfnds movies lag behind TVin LGBT roles
JOCELYN NOVECK
APNational Writer
NEW YORK We may
be seeing more prominent
gay and lesbian charac-
ters on TV shows, but the
movie industry lags well
behind the small screen, an
advocacy group reports.
In its rst study of
LGBT roles in major stu-
dio releases, the Gay &
Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation found that
compared with TV, where
there has been a signicant
shift over the past decade,
Major studios appear
reluctant to include LGBT
characters in signicant
roles or franchises.
In its report released
Wednesday, GLAAD found
that of the 101 releases
from Hollywoods six major
studios in 2012, just 14
included characters iden-
tied as lesbian, gay, or
bisexual. Most were no
more than cameos or minor
roles, it said and none of
the lms tracked had trans-
gender characters.
Until LGBT characters
appear more regularly in
these studio lms, there
will be the appearance of
bias, said Wilson Cruz,
GLAADs national spokes-
person, in an interview. He
added that his organization
will be meeting with studio
executives to discuss the
ndings.
There were some bright
spots in 2012, and some
more ambiguous ones, the
group said. For example,
Skyfall, the hugely suc-
cessful installment of the
James Bond franchise, fea-
tured a main villain, played
by Javier Bardem, who was
apparently bisexual.
It was great to see an
LGBT character in such a
signicant role, said Matt
Kane, associate director
of entertainment media at
GLAAD, also in an inter-
view. But unfortunately
the character was also devi-
ous, psychotic, and untrust-
worthy it fell into that
trap.
As genre lms like comic
book adaptations consume
much of the studios capi-
tal and promotional efforts,
the report says, such lms
have a striking lack of
LGBT characters. In The
Avengers, it notes, there is
a gay news anchor, but his
appearance is so brief it
was likely missed by many
viewers.
The report called the
2013 Studio Responsibility
Index rates each of the
six studio according to the
number of LGBT-inclusive
lms they released. Faring
worst: 20th Century Fox
and Disney, which each
receive failing grades; the
other four Paramount,
Sony, Universal and Warner
Bros. receive grades of
adequate.
Asked in advance
Tuesday afternoon about
the report, the studios had
no immediate comment.
As part of its index, the
group developed criteria
to measure the quality
of the LGBT roles. They
included: whether a charac-
ter was identiably LGBT;
whether it was not solely
or predominantly dened
by its sexual orientation
or gender identity; and
whether it was tied into the
plot in such a way that its
removal would have a sig-
nicant effect.
One of the best exam-
ples of an LGBT-inclusive
lm in 2012, according
to GLAAD, was, interest-
ingly, an animated family
lm: ParaNorman, about
a misunderstood boy who
can communicate with the
ghosts of dead people.
In the lm, which came
from the Portland-based
studio LAIKA, Normans
cheerleader sister asks the
hunky football hero Mitch
for a movie date. He casu-
ally makes a reference to
his boyfriend.
The lms writer and
co-director, Chris Butler,
said the lmmakers, while
determined to include the
scene, had worried that it
could cost them a PG rat-
ing and get them a PG-13
instead, which would have
been inappropriate for the
movie. In the end, they got
their PG rating.
Butler said he was disap-
pointed with some nega-
tive commentary about
the scene including
one viewers online review
that praised the lm for
its anti-bullying mes-
sage of inclusion but
said it ruined matters by
making a character gay.
I was surprised at all the
fuss, Butler said. But on
the ip side was the positive
reaction. The movie was
the rst animated lm nom-
inated for a GLAAD award.
As a lmmaker, Butler
said he was not optimistic
that there would be an inevi-
table wave of more onscreen
LGBT characters as time
goes on and society chang-
es, as on TV.
Its a mistake to assume
its inevitable, he said. The
only way to make change is
to do something about it. It
takes hard work.
We are moving in the
right direction, Butler
said. But not nearly quick
enough. Its not enough.
Kane, at GLAAD, said
the new report would help
reinforce its longtime claims
that Hollywood studios

group says that movie was an exception in a year that showed Hollywoods major studios are reluctant
to include LGBT characters in important roles in their films.
need to do more.
Over the years we have
met with studios, and its
always a point we make,

Nostalgia hit like a sum-
mer rainstorm the other
day, prompting some bit-
tersweet longing for all
the lazy time we had in
our 1960s childhoods,
sharing stories scary,
creepy and spine-tingling.
Tu r n s
out, nos-
talgia can
be good
for you.
Wr i t i n g
in the
July 8
New York
T i m e s ,
J o h n
Ti e r n e y
explained
that nos-
t a l g i a
has been
shown to counteract lone-
liness, boredom and anxi-
ety. It makes people more
generous to strangers and
more tolerant of outsid-
ers.
So heres some nos-
talgia today about those
urban myths and half-
truths we shared as gos-
pel at slumber parties and
around campres.
BLACK WIDOWS
IN BEEHIVES
The beehive the big
ratted hairdo that indeed
looked like a real beehive
combed its way into
mass popularity in the
early 1960s.
The story: A teen rat-
ted her hair in a beehive,
sprayed it into stiffness
and neglected to wash it
for weeks, due to the has-
sle of ratting and spray-
ing. Unbeknownst to her,
a black widow spider
crawled in, built a nest,
laid eggs and when doz-
ens of the eggs hatched,
they bit the teens skull,
killing her.
True or false?
False, according to
snopes.com, a website
that researches urban leg-
ends.
The urban legend dis-
appeared in the 1970s
when straight, long hair
rendered beehives old-
fashioned.
However, the urban
legend washed back into
popular culture in the
1990s. With some modi-
cations.
The victim was a man.
The hairdo, dreadlocks.
The spiders, unidentied.
ASPIRIN IN COCA-
COLA MAKES
YOU HIGH
At slumber parties
in the late 1960s, two
aspirins dissolved into
a bottle of Coke was a
secret practice we did
after the parents were
asleep upstairs. It didnt
make you high, some of
us learned from personal
experience.
The myth may have
started in the 1930s,
according to snopes.
com, when an Illinois
doctor wrote the Journal
of American Medical
Association to warn that
teenagers were dissolv-
ing aspirin in Coca-Cola
to create an intoxicating
beverage that was as
serious a threat to teenag-
ers as narcotic habitua-
tion.
Coke in aspirin turned
out to be harmless for
societys young people. It
later was discovered that
both products can be wor-
risome for kids, but not
because either makes you
high.
Too much soda has
been linked to obesity.
Aspirin taken during the
u can result in Reyes
syndrome, a sometimes
fatal reaction.
THE BABYSITTER
AND THE
HIDING MAN
The story: A babysit-
ter answers the phone.
A creepy man asks her
if shes checked on the
children. He keeps call-
ing back. She calls the
police who nally trace
the call and tell her to
leave the house immedi-
ately because the man is
calling her from within
the house.
The children are later
discovered murdered by
the man who had been
hiding either upstairs or
in the basement, depend-
ing on which version was
circulating in your 1960s
circle.
This story had many
holes even in the
low-tech, highly gullible
1960s.
For instance, when you
called your own number,
you got a busy signal. The
police didnt trace calls,
even in the 1960s. The
phone company could do
traces, but it was an elab-
orate process that took
awhile.
What would have hap-
pened if this situation had
been real in the 1960s?
The babysitter would
call her parents who
would rush over. Or she
would call the police who
would show up to investi-
gate.
Despite its implausibil-
ity, the plotline has been
incorporated into several
movies, including When
a Stranger Calls, which
was made in 1979 and
remade in 2006.
This urban legend
would be more plausible
in modern time, because
the dangerous man
could be hiding in the
house making menacing
calls from his cellphone
to the house phone.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im writ-
ing about the letter
you printed from
Somewhere in the
South (May 26)
who heard someone
confess to a crime
he had committed
at age 12 during one of his Narcot-
ics Anonymous (NA) meetings. The
person asked if he should go to the
police. You advised him to talk about
it to the group leader.
In a 12-step program, there is no
formal leader who has a responsibility
to report anything to the authorities.
There are usually discussion groups
led by someone chosen for the night.
I am not condoning what the per-
son did at that young age. It was a
horrible act. But 12-step programs are
based on ANONYMITY. Reporting
what is heard at meetings is com-
pletely against what 12-step meetings
are all about. It was unfair of you to
place responsibility on someone who
is there for his OWN addiction to tell
on another group member.
Anonymous in the USA
Dear Anonymous: I received a ton
of criticism for my response to that
letter. Readers like you wrote to point
out that I was misinformed about
how these programs work; others be-
rated me for not insisting the writer
notify the police immediately.
I was and still am of two
minds on the question. While it
would be satisfying to see justice
done, I could not bring myself to rec-
ommend going against the principle
upon which these 12-step programs
that have helped thousands of people
is based. Another principle of these
programs is that people who have
hurt others must make amends for
what they have done. However, this is
the responsibility of the person who
committed the crime NOT some-
one who overheard mention of it at a
meeting. Read on:
Dear Abby: I have been a member
of NA for 26-plus years. I also work
in the field of mental health, where I
have certain reporting duties as part
of my professional code of ethics. I
learned long ago how to separate my
professional responsibilities from my
membership in NA. If I obtain infor-
mation about abuse or neglect in the
conduct of my profession, THEN I
have a duty to act. Should I overhear
something at a meeting, in the mall
or some other social setting, I have
no specific duty to report.
Clean, Free And Living Life
Dear Abby: As a 30-year member, I
can say with certainty that I have not
infrequently heard disclosures that I
later determined to be not true. The
advice offered by our NA traditions is,
Take what you can use (in ones own
recovery) and leave the rest of what
one hears at a meeting.
Charles in Illinois
Dear Abby: I disagree with your an-
swer! Yes, this needs to be reported.
If the victim died in that incident, it
is a cold case and the boys parents
if they are still alive would have
never had closure. There may be sib-
lings who would want to know what
happened to their brother.
I am not a believer that if you con-
fess to murder in NA, AA or with a
priest in a confessional that they are
bound not to tell. That is HOGWASH!

DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Abbys advice about Narcotics Anonymous confession fires up readers
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You sud-
denly will become more focused
on what needs to happen in
order to reach a particularly
challenging goal. It might be
necessary to wake up earlier.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
cant make better choices if you
dont have better awareness.
Since everything stems from
your awareness, it makes sense
to expose yourself to more and
be extremely observant.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Todays
free offers will wind up costing
you. Maybe it still will be worth-
while, though, so dont let this
deter you from accepting the
gift. Just stay alert to all that
transpires.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Its
only natural to give your atten-
tion to the people making all the
noise, but they arent necessarily
the people who need it most.
Check in with those who are
being a bit too quiet.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes
you carry a smile in your back
pocket, ready to use at the right
moment. But today youre better
off just wearing it constantly. It
will remind you that youre basi-
cally happy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your rule
is to underpromise and overde-
liver. Someone will ask you for
a commitment, though, making
the first part of the equation a
bit tricky.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stay on
top of your intentions for the
day by writing them down. Also,
there will be some unexpected
downtime, but if youre very
organized, youll use it
productively.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Previews give you an idea of
what youre in for if you make
a choice. But some decisions
dont come with a custom-edited
trailer of the highlights.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You enjoy being generous,
but you sometimes worry that
people will lean too hard on you
if you give too much. Remember
that generosity isnt always
about money and big gestures.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Dont let the organizational
details hang you up. Sometimes
the best move is the one that is
just good enough to move you
forward. The main thing is to
keep moving forward.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most
parenting strategies are based
on the idea that the right kind
of reminders can help someone
become a better person. Youll
parent yourself today with a few
clever reminders, and improve-
ment will be immediate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
dont need one special person in
your life to be successful. Often,
its a core group of people that
supports you best. Youll be add-
ing to that core group and mini-
mizing the need to find, or rely
on, just one person.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 22).
Youll see fantastic sights this
year thanks to a combination
of excellent planning and spon-
taneous risk-taking. Next month
sees you answering a challenge
and becoming a hero of your
own story. November brings
family expansion. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 25, 44, 18
and 45.
Domestic divas are masquerading as cats
MARYBETHBRECKEN-
RIDGE
Akron BeaconJournal
Im afraid Ive raised a
couple of divas.
Theyre pampered,
demanding and mercurial
often charming, some-
times moody.
They love to sleep. They
demand the best.
Theyre cats.
Scout and Nelle are prin-
cesses especially Nelle,
who has a habit of perch-
ing prettily on our throw
pillows and has a surly side
that seems to say, I am
entitled.
No doubt, the fault lies
with their humans. They
arrived in our home not
long before our nest emp-
tied, when my husband and
I needed something to focus
our parental attentions on.
Were like indulgent
grandparents. We let the
cats get away with all man-
ner of misbehavior and nd
it all utterly charming. My
son swears we take more
pictures of the cats than we
do of him. He may be right.
Theyve become thor-
oughly spoiled and, truth be
told, pretty useless.
They seem to lack some
of the most basic feline
instincts. Nelle has no inter-
est in the outdoors, and in
fact once spent a couple of
hours cowering under our
deck after she slipped out
a door that had acciden-
tally been left open. Both
have a penchant for lolling
on their backs without the
usual cat fear that some
predator will launch a sur-
prise attack or some human
will tickle their bellies.
But it was the mouse inci-
dent that made me think
theyre in danger of having
their cat cards revoked.
It happened one evening a
couple of weeks ago, when I
saw a mouse make a break
from beneath my couch and
scurry across the room.
Either its mouse senses
failed to notice Scout and
Nelle parked within inches
of its destination, or it was
one gutsy rodent.
The mouse took a right
turn and started racing
along the baseboard, head-
ed for cover under the TV
stand.
The cats sprang into
cat-alert status, bracing to
pounce. Theyll get that
mouse, I thought.
I was wrong.
Instead, they turned
confused circles, as though
they just couldnt gure out
where the mouse was head-
ed. A mouse traveling in a
straight line, I might add.
Their reaction time was so
bad that it almost looked like
someone had videotaped
the scene and played it back
at slow speed.
Geez, one of our previous
cats caught a mouse when
he was 20. Thats, like, 100
in human years. These cats
just turned 7.
Youd think they were
under the inuence of some
pretty potent catnip, but
unless they have a secret
stash someplace, that wasnt
the case.
They just seemed addled,
as though some wiring in
their peanut-size brains
told them they should take
action, but they didnt quite
know what.
My husband had to come
to the rescue. Clad in work
gloves and armed with
a broom, he ushed the
mouse out from its hiding
place and swooped down to
catch it.
The cats went back to
their lolling, showing no
signs of shame.
I guess I should cut them
some slack. After all, theyre
out of practice. Theyre
indoor cats, unaccustomed
to the demands of stalk-
ing birds and ferreting out
moles. Thankfully mouse
incursions are rare at our
house, so their hunting for-
ays are usually limited to
their toys, which dont put
up much of a ght.
Thats a good thing, con-
sidering Scout routinely
brings her prey to drop near
me when she wants atten-
tion. Better a stuffed mouse
than a beheaded one.
And in their defense, I
have to say theyre pretty
good at some other cat
behaviors. They make that
funny chirping noise at the
hummingbirds that visit the
feeder outside our window.
(Do they really think they
sound like birds?) They
have excellent navigational
skills when it comes to
plopping down on newspa-
pers, precisely targeting the
article the attendant human
is reading. They follow the
cat code that stipulates that
when someone opens a door
in response to their cries,
they will respond with inac-
tion for at least a full minute
before proceeding across the
threshold and then stopping
halfway across.
But leap after a y or
pounce on a spider?
Heavens no. Divas dont
do that.
Music may help to
soothe Dutch rabbit
MARC MORRONE
MCI
Q: We have a beautiful
black and white Dutch
rabbit. She has given us
much joy. When we leave
the house for eight hours,
should we leave the radio
on for her? Some people
with dogs do that.
A: This question has
no scientic answer. All
I can offer is my opinion.
Some animals do respond
to music. YouTube is full
of birds dancing to a beat
or a rhythm, and any-
one who has seen a dog
respond to organ music
knows that the dog real-
izes that this is not a
sound it normally hears.
Bunnies can hear much
better then dogs can, so
I am sure your pet would
appreciate hearing some
kind of music. Classical
music seems to be what
most animals respond
best to. Even cows are
said to be more relaxed
when they hear it, so a
classical music station
would be better to use
than a talk station, as the
animals do not under-
stand the words.
I would also advise you
not to leave the music
on for the bunny for the
entire eight hours; as time
goes by, it will become
white noise to her. Best
to hook the radio or tape
player to a timer so that
the music goes on for an
hour and then off for an
hour or so. This will help
keep her interested.
Q: I am curious about
the behavior of our
11-year-old tuxedo cat,
Mr. Utley. Each morn-
ing after I sit down at
the dining room table
for breakfast and the
morning paper, Mr. Utley
insists on opping down
directly on my paper and
refuses to move. I have
experimented with plac-
ing other sections of the
paper by the other chairs
but he only wants to sit
on mine. He wont even
sit on my wifes open
paper. My wife insists
he is marking me as his
property. Your thoughts?
A: I have no idea why
cats do this. The exact
same thing happens to
me and has always hap-
pened to me my entire
life: Every single time I
open up a book or read a
paper at a table some cat
in my house will do his
or her best to curl up on
the paper in front of me.
Even as a kid when I was
doing my homework, my
cats would do it, and my
papers would be turned
in with cat hair ground
into them.
I could be reading a
little paperback and the
cats will do their best to
squeeze onto the open
book. Cats mark their ter-
ritory in more biological
manners, so this is prob-
ably not the reason. All I
can say is that it is well-
known that many cats
have paper fetishes.
Q: We are going on
holiday and we are leav-
ing our 2-year-old female
poodle with my sister,
whom the dog knows.
Should we just up and
leave or is it better to say
goodbye to her and pet
her just before we drop
her at my sisters house?
I will miss her but I want
to do whatever it takes to
prevent her from feeling
anxiety.
A: When I was a little
kid, none of the adults
in my world ever felt the
need to explain anything
to me nor apologize to
me for anything they
did, and quite frankly life
seemed much easier this
way, as my simple little
mind was quite content
to just follow along and
blindly accept whatever
it was that the trusted
adults in my life decided
for me.
Of course, things are
different nowadays in our
relationships with chil-
dren but this is still
the best way to deal with
pets. There is never the
need to explain what you
do to them or why you do
it. Pets accept such events
the same way they accept
changes in the weather.

application of Steve & Heather Vieczorek, owners of property at
