Authorities on Monday
identified Brian Zimmerman,
41, of Moosic, as the fan killed
by an apparent lightning
strike at Pocono Raceway Sun-
day evening.
Nine others were injured
just after a heavy thunder-
storm system caused officials
to call the Pennsylvania 400
early. Authorities are not dis-
closing their identities.
Monroe County Coroner
Robert M. Allen said an autop-
sy is scheduled for the mar-
ried father of three today at
Lehigh Valley Medical Center
in Allentown. Allen said it ap-
peared, based on witness ac-
counts, that the death was
caused by the lightning strike.
A cause of death will be listed
after the autopsy.
Crews worked on resuscitat-
ing Zimmerman en route from
the raceway in Long Pond to
Pocono Medical Center in

to cardiac arrest, until para-

According to the National
Weather Service, an average
of 54 people are reported
killed each year by lightning
in the United States. The
death at Pocono Raceway
Sunday night was the 19th
reported lightning strike
death this year nationally
and the second one in Penn-
sylvania following the death
of 36-year-old Mary Yoder
who was struck while picking
blueberries in Garrett, Som-
erset County on July 24. The
National Lightning Safety
Institute said 136 people have
been injured in lightning
strikes this year nationally.
The odds of being struck by
lightning in the U.S. is 1 in
280,000, that organization
said. To see more about 2012

HAZLETONU.S. Rep. LouBarletta, R-
Hazleton, voted for the $606 billion de-
fense bill that could call for cuts at the To-
byhanna Army Depot because he said he
was misinformed.
Barletta said Monday he was given inac-
curate information based on what he
calledanaccounting er-
ror.
U.S. Reps. Tom Mari-
no, R-Lycoming Town-
ship, andTimHolden, D-
St. Clair, also voted for
the bill.
Barletta, seekingasec-
ond term in Congress,
said he would not vote
for a bill that jeopardizes
Tobyhanna, an impor-
tant installation to the
military and Northeast-
ern Pennsylvanias large-
st employer with 5,400
employees and subcon-
tractors. The depot is in
Barlettas 11th congres-
sional district.
Democratic challenger Gene Stilp of
MiddlePaxtonTownshipcriticizedhisNo-
vember opponent, saying voters shouldnt
stand for Barlettas slipshod way of vot-
ing.
He has to be on top of the situation and
hewas not, Stilpsaid. I will not onlyfight
tokeepthem, I will fight toenhancethem
to add jobs.
According to Barletta, after the defense
spending bill was passed on July19 in a bi-
partisanvoteintheHouse-- 326-90-- it was
discovered the bills authors based their
recommendations on an accounting error.
They said there was sufficient carryov-
er or unused funds for the maintenance
andfundingof thenationsmilitarydepots,
including Tobyhanna Army Depot.
When I voted for the bill, I did so with
the understanding that funding for the To-
byhanna Army Depot was not being com-
promised, Barletta said. I, alongwiththe
other 325membersof Congresswhovoted
in favor of the bill, both Republicans and
Democrats, believed the information pro-
vided to us was accurate.
On Friday he sent a letter to leaders of
both chambers asking themto remedy the

STATE COLLEGE A Penn State
trustee cited a need for due process in
telling the NCAAon Monday that he in-
tends to appeal college sports govern-
ing bodys strict sanctions on the uni-
versity for the Jerry Sandusky child sex
abuse scandal.
Trustee Ryan McCombie said earlier
Mondayina letter tofellowboardmem-
bers that he planned to take the action
and sought an NCAA hearing. He invit-
ed other trustees to join in the appeal.
McCombies lawyers later sent the
NCAA their intent-to-appeal letter, say-
ing they also represented other trust-
ees.
Several other board members have
indicated they will join the appeal, said
McCombies lawyer, Paul Kelly of the
Boston-based firm Jackson Lewis. But
Kelly did not provide a number or iden-
tify the other members, and said he was
still gathering names.
The landmark penalties handed
down last month included a four-bowl

Positive samples this year for
West Nile Virus in Pennsylvania
have nearly matched the full
year total in 2011 and the first
two human cases of the year
were reported Monday, one in
Lancaster County and another
in Franklin County.
The state Department of En-
vironmental Protection said
Monday that 74 new positive
tests raised the states total
through the first week of Au-
gust to 1,268.
With more than two months
remaining in the active West
Nile Virus season, the total
nearly matches the 1,331 posi-
tive samples last year and could
challenge the state record of
2,282 set in 2003.
Last year there were five hu-
man positives for the virus, one
as late as Oct. 6, the Depart-
ment of Health said.
Were on our way, but were
not there yet, said Coleen Con-
nolly, a regional spokeswoman
for DEP.
The first reported positive oc-
curred two months earlier than
normal this year.
The 1,268 positive tests in-
cluded at least one positive
sample from 44 counties. Last
year, the 1,331 included posi-
tives from 59 of the states 67
counties. There were only 330
positives statewide at this time
last year. The peak season, DEP
says, is typically August and
September, and it will not end
until a hard frost. So the worst is
likely yet to come, Connolly
said.
She said the mosquito that is
the prime carrier of the virus
was able to survive through the
mild winter and lay eggs that
hatched early this year.
Reports of positive mosquito
and bird samples are reported
daily by the DEP and on many
days theyre in double digits.
On Friday, for example, the
state reported 88
positive samples, in-
cluding one horse.
According to DEP,
most people dont
get sick from con-
tracting West Nile
encephalitis, an in-
flammation of the brain. Those
who become infected can expe-
rience a fever, rash, headache,
meningitis, encephalitis or
death. Older adults and people
with lower functioning immune
systems are the most
susceptible to devel-
oping the disease, in-
cluding those with
HIV, a recent organ
transplant or someone
whos undergoing che-
motherapy.
The virus has been found in
mosquito samples in Luzerne
County in all but two years be-
tween 2002 and 2012.

West Nile Virus, named for the
region in Uganda where it first
appeared in 1937, infects birds that
are bitten by mosquitoes, which in
turn bite people and mammals. It
had never been seen in the West-
ern Hemisphere until 62 people
became seriously ill and seven
died in New York in 1999.
A C L O S E R L O O K
Individuals can take a number of
precautionary measures around
their homes to help eliminate
mosquito-breeding areas, in-
cluding:
Dispose of cans, buckets, plastic
containers, ceramic pots or similar
containers that hold water.
Properly dispose of discarded
tires that can collect water. Stag-
nant water is where most mosqui-
toes breed.
Drill holes in the bottom of out-
door recycling containers.
Have clogged roof gutters
cleaned every year, particularly if
the leaves from surrounding trees
have a tendency to plug drains.
Turn over plastic wading pools
when not in use.
Turn over wheelbarrows and
dont let water stagnate in bird-
baths.
Aerate ornamental pools or
stock them with fish.
Clean and chlorinate swimming
pools not in use and remove any
water that may collect on pool
covers.

OAKCREEK, Wis. Before he strode
into a Sikh temple with a 9mm handgun
and multiple magazines of ammunition,
Wade Michael Page played in white su-
premacist heavy metal bands withnames
such as Definite Hate and End Apathy.
The bald, heavily tattooed bassist was
a 40-year-old Army veteran who trained
in psychological warfare before he was
demoted and discharged more than a
decade ago.
Aday after he killed six worshippers at
the suburban Milwaukee temple, frag-
ments of Pages life emerged in public re-
cords and interviews. But his motive was
still largely a mystery. So far, no hate-fil-
led manifesto has emerged, nor any an-
gry blog or ranting Facebook entries to
explain the attack.
Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards
suggested Monday that investigators
might never know for certain why the
lone attacker targeted a temple full of
strangers.
We have a lot of information to de-
cipher, toput it all together before we can
positively tell you what that motive is
if we can determine that, Edwards said.
Page, who was shot to death by police,
joined the Army in 1992 and was dis-
charged in 1998. He was described Mon-
day by the Southern Poverty LawCenter
as a frustrated neo-Nazi who had long
been active in the obscure underworld of
white supremacist music.
Page wrote frequently on white su-
premacist websites, describing himself
as a member of the Hammerskins Na-
tion, a skinhead group rooted in Texas
that has offshoots in Australia and Cana-
da, according to the SITE Monitoring
Service, a Maryland-based private intelli-
gence firm that searches the Internet for
terrorist and other extremist activity.
In online forums, Page promoted his
music while interacting with other skin-
heads. He posted 250 messages on one
site between March 2010 and the middle
of this year, andappearedeager to recruit
others. In March 2011, he advertised for a
family friendly barbeque in North Car-
olina, exhorting those online to attend.
If you are wanting to meet people, get
involved and become active, then you re-
ally need to attend, he wrote, according
toSITE. Stophidingbehindthecomput-
er or making excuses.
InNovember, Page challengeda poster
who indicated he would leave the United
States if HermanCainwere electedpresi-
dent.
Standandfight, dont run, hereplied.
In an April message, Page said: Pas-
sive submission is indirect support to the
oppressors. Stand up for yourself and live
the 14 words, a reference to a common
white supremacists mantra.
Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the law
center, a nonprofit civil rights organiza-
tion in Montgomery, Ala., said Page
played in groups whose often sinister-
sounding names seemed to reflect what
he went out and actually did. The music
talked about genocide against Jews and
other minorities.
In a 2010 interview, Page told a white
supremacist website that he became ac-
tive in white-power music in 2000, when
he left his native Colorado and started
the band End Apathy in 2005. The bands
MySpace page listed the group as based
in Nashville, N.C.
Page joined the military in Milwaukee
in1992andwas arepairmanfor theHawk
missile system before switching jobs to
become one of the Armys psychological
operations specialists assigned to a bat-
talion at Fort Bragg, N.C.
As a psy-ops specialist, Page would
have trained to host public meetings be-
tween locals and American forces, use
leaflet campaigns inaconflict zoneor use
loudspeakers to communicate with ene-
my soldiers.
He never deployed overseas in that
role, Army spokesman George Wright
said.

charges a dime a minute for
searching and a nickel for

The more information
you get out there, the more
revenue you make, said
Hoggarth, who expects to hit
$52,000 in revenue by the
end of the year.
The scanning already com-
pleted will allow the office to
put about 2,000 books in
storage, and the rest may be
cleared out when the admin-
istration approves a contract
to scan records back to 1952,
Hoggarth said.
The scanning of more than
a decade of deeds could cost
more than $200,000 but may
be less if images can be re-
trieved from existing micro-
film copies, as opposed to
scanning from scratch, she
said.

KINGSTON TWP. Dallas Town-
ship police say a man reported to be
walking nude in front of passing vehi-
cles burglarized a vacant house on
Huntsville Road on Sunday.
The unidentified man was wearing
only sneakers when he was arrested
just after 11 a.m.
He was charged with burglary,
openlewdness, simple assault andre-
sisting arrest. Because he would not
identify himself, arrest papers list
him as John Doe.
At his arraignment before District
Judge James Tupper, the man wore
hospital clothing. He was jailedat the
Luzerne County Correctional Facili-
ty for lack of $5,000 bail.
These charges are fictitious, the
man said.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
A person driving on Huntsville
Road contacted police and said a
naked man had crossed the road and
gone onto a porch of a vacant house.
Police spottedthe manonanupper
floor deck, coveredinmudandbleed-
ing from his arms and legs.
Police said in the criminal com-
plaint the man appeared to be under
the influence of a controlled sub-
stance. He was holding a phone char-
ger and yelling at police to get the
(expletive) out of here.
The man paced on the deck, telling
police, Youre gonna have to shoot
me. Get off my property, the com-
plaint says.
Officers placed a ladder to access
the upper deck. When an officer reac-
hed the fourth rung, the man pushed
the ladder away causing the officer to
jump off.
Police allege the man threwa flow-
er pot at an officer. He surrendered
when police threatened to stun him
with a Taser.
The man refused to provide his
name, telling police, Then youll run
it for warrants, the complaint says.

ILKES-BARRE -- When a bunch of teen-
age girls get together in the summer,
you expect chatter, the ringing of cell-
phones and the buzzing of text messag-
es.
But not so with the young women participating in the
Volunteers of America new program
called the Magnolia Project. At Mon-
days meeting, the girls of the Magno-
lia Project were putting together
school kits for needy children, then
learning about job interview skills.
The Magnolia Project combines
meetings with guest speakers and indi-
vidual mentoring.
At the weekly meetings, the young women meet and
listen to guests who are leaders in the community and
are encouraged to ask questions. Sometimes they work
on skills.
The programs goal is to focus on girls who are poten-
tially at risk and help them become leaders.
Meetings are held at a storefront on South Main
Street that is decorated with huge, colorful murals and
bright paper flowers.
Shannon Doyne, project manager for the Magnolia
Project, and Summer Kroshta, the administrative direc-
tor of the Volunteers of America, designed the program
together.
Doyne said they chose the name Magnolia Project be-
cause of her own magnolia tree that has managed to
survive the tough winters here. She said the girls in the
program are much like her tree.
The girls are blossoming but the climate is hard,
she said.
Doyne said the project aims to empower high school-
age young women as they navigate
their school years. The members
of the project are referred by their
school counselors.
The Magnolia Project is one of
the 17 programs chosen out of 57
proposals to receive funding from
developer Robert Mericles plea
agreement regarding the kids for cash juvenile court
scandal.
About 20 girls have participated this summer. Full-
time staffer Melissa Langan acts as mentor to the girls
who participate, and she helps direct the weekly pro-
grams.
Bullying is huge. And theyre not being respected,
Langan said. She said the program helps improve their
self-esteem and gives them the respect they deserve.
They need that boost to their self-confidence, Lan-
gan said.

SCRANTON The FBI has charged a
Kingston woman with embezzling
more than $60,000 from M&T Bank in
Wilkes-Barre.
Acriminal complaint wasfiledMonday
against Patricia A. Tokash, 41, inU.S. Dis-
trict Court by Vincent L. Browning, spe-
cial agent assigned to the Scranton office
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the complaint, Darryl
Lindsay, regional security officer for
M&T, contacted Browning to report
that Tokash had embezzled in excess of
$50,000 while working at the M&T of-
fice at 15 S. Franklin St., where she had
been employed in the Government
Loan Department for six years.
Tokash was responsible for adminis-
tering and processing applications for
M&T loans to counties and municipal-
ities. She alsohadauthoritytoissue offi-
cial M&T checks, the complaint states.
Lindsay told Browning that for at
least the past year, Tokash had stolen
portions of loan application fees, which
would typically be around $1,000 per
loan. He said there was evidence that
Tokash generated thousands of dollars
in official M&T checks, drawn against
M&Tgeneral ledger accounts, andused
them to pay her personal expenses.
When Lindsay and other employees
confronted Tokash on April 20, she con-
fessedto taking M&Tfunds andprovid-
ed a written confession, the complaint
states.
M&T Customer Service Supervisor
Jennifer Forman told Browning that To-
kash had been using fraudulent deposit
tickets, which are multipart forms used
to transfer money internally between
M&T accounts. She discovered Tokash
had filled out tickets to deposit M&T
general ledger funds into her personal
bank account, the complaint states.
Browning reviewed copies of the de-
posit tickets, which document the re-
ceipt of a $1,000 loan processing fee
with half the money going into the
M&T bank fund and the other half go-
ing to Tokashs personal M&Taccount.
Copies of checks show thousands of
dollars being paid to unauthorized re-
cipients such as the Municipality of
Kingston, the U.S. Treasury and other
recipients including for local garbage
service, Browning said in the com-
plaint.

LUZERNE COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Luzerne County Offce of Community Development will hold a public
meeting on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 10:00am in the 1st Floor
Meeting Room of the Luzerne County Courthouse, 200 N. River Street,
Wilkes-Barre, PA. The meeting is open to the public and they are encour-
aged to attend and provide input on the purpose of the meeting as fol-
lows: 1) Review performance of the previous years projects, 2) Provide

Action Plan and to obtain public input regarding the housing, public ser-
vice, and community development needs of the County. Input obtained

tion of the Countys Action Plan submission to the Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development for funding through the federal Community
Development Block Grant Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships
Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program, and 3) To provide
applications for submission of proposed projects to be considered for
inclusion in the Action Plan. Questions and comments will be accepted
at the public meeting or by contacting the Offce of Community Develop-
ment between the hours of 9am and 4:30pm Monday through Friday and
will be considered in the fnal preparation of the application for submis-
sion to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Luzerne
County Offce of Community Development is located at 54 West Union

BY ORDER OF:
Robert C. Lawton
Luzerne County Manager
will issue a joint public request
seeking cost proposals for the
scanning, Hoggarth said.
County Register of Wills Do-
rothy Stankovic said she also
wants the administration to
consider a program that allows
microfilmed wills and mar-
riage licenses to be viewed on
a computer screen, though it
wouldnt put
the records on
Landex.
This option
may cost less
and allow her
office to move
sooner with-
out the books,
she said. Ei-
ther option will reduce wear-
and-tear on the original docu-
ments still accessed by the
public in her office, she said.
County Manager Robert
Lawton said he wants to exam-
ine the feasibility of making
in-demand records available to
outside computer users, in-
cluding wills and marriage li-
censes frequently requested
by genealogy researchers.
He supports the office con-
solidation because deeds and
wills are under the same divi-
sion under home rule.
We want to improve public
access. The maintenance of
these records is a core county
function, and if it becomes a
revenue generator for the
county, thats consistent with
how we need to do business,
Lawton said.
Lawton has not made a deci-
sion on where records will be
permanently stored.
Stankovic said she wont put
the original marriage licenses
and wills in the countys
leased record storage space at
the Thomas C. Thomas build-
ing in Wilkes-Barre because of
its temperature extremes and
fire hazards.
The county recently re-
moved 523 banker boxes of re-
cords from the building for
shredding, and managers have
been encouraged to identify
other records that may be de-
stroyed.

Happy Birthday, baby boy,
whoever you are.
It has been 32 years since the
body of an infant was found
mixed with household trash at
the now closed West Side Land-
fill in Larksville.
The infant has never been
identified and no one has been
criminally charged.
State police Lt. Richard Kra-
wetz, commander of the crimi-
nal investigation unit for Troop
P, said Monday the case remains
open.
There hasnt been a phone
call, or any leads, nothing, Kra-
wetz said.
An autopsy by the late Lu-
zerne County Coroner Dr. Ge-
orge Hudock showed the infant
was alive for 24 to 72 hours after
birth and died due to acts of
omission, meaning the infant
was not given the required care
immediately after birth to sus-
tain life.
The infant was found at about
2:40 p.m. on Aug. 6, 1980, by a
landfill employee spreading gar-
bage while operating a bulldoz-
er.
County Deputy Coroner An-
drew Strish pronounced the in-
fant dead at 3:25 p.m.
Hudock conducted the autop-
sy at Strishs funeral home in
Larksville. There was no evi-
dence the infant suffered any
physical injuries, according to
the coroners report.
Records at the landfill author-
ity showed it received 94 truck-
loads of garbage on Aug. 6, 1980.
After five tosevenloads, garbage
was flattened and dirt was
spread over the trash.
The last load to dump before
the infant being found was from
Kingston, which had a garbage
packer and three dump trucks at
the site. Garbage also came from
Larksville, Courtdale and the
Berwick area.
Strish held on to the infants
body for two weeks, hoping
someone would have come for-
ward. No one did.
The infant is nowburied away
fromother tombstones inSt. An-
thony of Padua Cemetery in a re-
mote area of Courtdale. The flat
marker, which measures 7 inch-
es wide by17 inches long, simply
states, Baby Boy Aug. 1980.
The landscape around the in-
fants tombstone has changed
over the years.
Flowers, shrubs and mulch
that once surrounded the grave
marker have vanished, con-
sumed by crab grass.
Ten years ago, the stone was
obscured by thick brush that has
been cut back.
AChristmas stocking, a statue
of the Blessed Mother and plas-
tic and fresh flowers were at one
time placed at the gravesite.
32 years later, babys ID is still a mystery
The infant was discovered
amid trash at the old West
Side Landfill in 1980.

PLAINS TWP. Representa-
tives of Memco Realty came be-
fore the township commission-
ers on Monday asking that 17.8
acres of property on Route 315
be rezoned from residential to
industrial.
They left with earfuls of dis-
sent from residents living near-
by and an unofficial cease-and-
desist order to stop land devel-
opment on adjacent property.
Memco leases three plots of
land totaling 36.4 acres to Med-
ico Industries a manufacturer,
seller and servicer of heavy con-
struction equipment, attorney
James Mangan, counsel for
Memco, told the board.
Joseph Stachovus, an engi-
neer for Memco, testified that
the Medico building lies on a 17-
acre tract that is zoned industri-
al. But during a land survey
done for the development of an
erosion and sediment control
plan, company officials discov-
ered that an adjacent 17.8 acres
of land is zoned residential and
another 1.5-acre plot is zoned
for business.
Bruce Daniels, controller for
Memco, testified Medico has
been using part of the residen-
tially zoned land for employee
parking as well as for the stor-
age of heavy equipment and
some raw materials such as
steel bars.
Mangan said Memco is re-
questing the zoning change be-
cause officials believe the cur-
rent residential designation is
an oversight in the zoning map
and the property has been
used as an industrial site since
1964, which, Mangan said, was
prior to homes being built
around it.
We want the zoning map to
reflect the realities of the use.
The Medico family and Medico
Industries has no plans to
change the business to build a
new building to lease (or) to
sell any part of the property,
Mangan said. This is strictly a
request to change the map to re-
flect the realities of the situa-
tion.
But residents who live near
the property were leery of the
companys motives.
Maureen Ledoretti, who lives
behind the property, asked what
the advantage of changing the
zoning would be if there are no
plans for development.
Mangan said proper zoning
would make any future expan-
sion of the building easier, but
reiterated that there are current-
ly no expansion plans.
Councilwoman Brigid OCon-
nor asked why the request was
being made now.
Daniels said that the discov-
ery that the land was not zoned
industrial was made only re-
cently.
Councilman Jerry Yozwiak
acknowledged that future devel-
opment could require additional
approvals from the zoning offi-
cer, commissioners and the
planning commission. But, he
said, a zoning change could ease
the way for future development
and residents are concerned
about almost 18 acres going to

Mosque razed in 2nd fire
A

burned to the ground Monday in
the second fire to hit the Islamic center
in little more than a month, officials
said.
The fire at the Islamic Society of
Joplin was reported about 3:30 a.m.
Monday, the Jasper County Sheriffs
Office said. The sheriffs department
said the building was a total loss. No
injuries were reported and no charges
have been filed.
A blaze at the same building July 4

mined arson. No arrests were made.
The FBI has offered a $15,000 reward
for information leading to charges.
The agency released video footage of
what appeared to be a man starting the
July blaze. A sheriffs office spokeswo-
man, said the centers security cameras
were burned in the Monday fire.
The FBI is investigating the cause of
the latest fire and whether or not it was
also the result of arson, said agency

get the tablets, which can help protect
the thyroid gland against harmful ra-
dioactive iodine.
The tablets will be distributed Aug. 9
at 14 locations statewide, or can be
obtained at state, county or municipal
health agencies
Four 65-milligram tablets will be
provided to each adult. Smaller doses
will be given to children based on age.
The department says people should
only take potassium iodide tablets
when directed to do so by health offi-
cials or the governor.

INDIANA, PA.
Robbery not reality TV
Police have charged two out-of-state
men with robbing two other men in
western Pennsylvania by claiming they
were recording a video for a reality TV
show called You Just Got Robbed.
Police in Indiana, Pa., say the in-
cident happened about 1:20 a.m. and
that the suspects apparently attend a
nearby technical school. Theyre identi-
fied as Randall Smith, 21, of Temple
Hills, Md., and Artie Goodwine, 18, of
Memphis, Tenn.
Police say one of the men put the
victims into headlocks while the other
recorded the robbery in which $20
was taken from one of the victims
on a cellphone.
Online court records dont list at-
torneys for the men. Smith has posted
bail but Goodwine remained in the
Indiana County Jail on Monday.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. --
Curiosity, the largest and most advanced
spacecraft ever sent to another planet,
stuck its extraordinary landing Sunday
night in triumphant and flawless fashion,
andis poisedtobeginits pioneering, two-
year hunt for the building blocks of life --
signs that Earths creatures may not be
not alone in the universe.
NASAs $2.5 billion mission involved
the work of more than 5,000 people from
37 states, some of whom had labored for
10 years to hear the two words that Al
Chen, a Jet Propulsion Laboratory engi-
neer, said inside mission control at 10:32
p.m.: "Touchdown confirmed."
Chen reported that Curiosity was in a
nice flat place, and as icing on the cake,
the spacecraft sent home thumbnail pho-
tographs of itself. Officials had said earli-
er in the day that photographs were pos-
sible but unlikely. Curiosityrespondedby
immediately delivering a series of imag-
es, one showing one of its wheels resting
comfortablyonthefloor of anancient cra-
ter.
Inside mission control, engineers who
had been chewing the insides of their
cheeks and bouncing their legs nervously
leapt to their feet, embracing, high-fiving
and, in some cases, weeping with joy.
Yes! one engineer cried, pumping his
fist. We did it again! another shouted.
The striking success of the mission
turnedsomesteepedinhardscienceback
into dreamers. JPL Director Charles Ela-
chi said he walked outside mission con-
trol about an hour and a half before land-
ing and stared up at Mars. You are going
to have a visitor, Elachi said he whis-
pered. And the planet smiled, Elachi
said. Thats when I knew.
Curiosity is expected to revolutionize
deep-space science, not only searching
for indications that Mars is or was hab-
itable, but paving the way for the next
critical steps in exploration - soil-sample
returns, sending astronauts to Mars,
even, perhaps, colonization.
Its an extraordinary step forward in
planetary exploration, said John Hold-
ren, President Barack Obamas science
and technology adviser. Nobody has ev-
er done anything like this. Anyone ques-
tioning the United States commitment
to science and ambition should consider
the 1-ton, automobile-sized piece of
American ingenuity that is now on
Mars, Holdren said.

BEIRUT Syrias prime minister
began planning his break from the re-
gime two months ago when Bashar As-
sad offered himthe post and an ultima-
tum: Take the job or die.
The full scope of Riad Hijabs careful-
ly executed flight to the rebel side
described by an aide who escaped with
him to Jordan reverberated Monday
through Syrias leadership. Hijab be-
came the highest-ranking government
official to defect, emboldening the op-
position and raising fresh questions
about the regimes ability to survive the
civil war.
Although Assad has been hit by a
string of embarrassing defections of
military and political figures, they have
yet to cause visible changes in the re-
gimes abilities on the battlefield. The
loss of high-profile government offi-
cials, however, suggests fissures are re-
aching deeper into the ruling system
and could force Assad to retreat further
behind a cadre of loyalists as fighting
flares on several fronts.
Every defection is another door
closed for Assad and another one open
for the rebels, said Mustafa Alani, an
analyst at the Gulf Research Center
based in Geneva. It may not be the tip-
ping point for the regime, but each
breakaway is another crack.
Hijab and an entourage of family
members wereexpectedtoheadnext to
the Gulf state of Qatar, a key backer of
the Syrianrebels, ina further signof the
regional brinksmanship and gambits
over Assads fate. Gulf states and Tur-
key have strongly backed the rebel
forces while Assad has counted on sup-
port froma dwindling list of allies such
as Iran and Russia.
In Washington, the Obama adminis-
tration shifted its message on Syrias
civil war tofocus less onpolitical transi-
tion plans and more on helping the re-
bels defeat Assads regime onthe battle-
field. Yet the U.S. still wants to avoid
any military involvement.

W
ASHINGTON For the third straight
month, President Barack Obama and the
Democratic Party significantly trailed Re-
publican presidential candidate Mitt Rom-
ney and the Republican Party in fundraising.
Romneys campaign on Monday reported a July haul of
more than $101 million with the Republican National
Committee, compared to the $75 million that Obamas
campaign said it had brought in with the Democratic Na-
tional Committee.
Romney also raised more cash than Obama in May and
June.
The July fundraising reports
came as Obama was set to raise at
least $2.5 million at a pair of events
in Connecticut, with a Hollywood
touch.
One fundraiser was scheduled at
the home of film mogul Harvey
Weinstein. The hosts include ac-
tresses Anne Hathaway, Joanne
Woodward and writer Aaron Sor-
kin.
Romneys level of fundraising has
prompted Obama, known for his
prodigious fundraising, to redouble
his efforts.
GOP-aligned super PACs also are
raising and spending tens of mil-
lions of dollars to defeat Obama on
Nov. 6.
The candidates are locked in a
tight White House contest three
months before Election Day.
Obama was focused on White
House business before an evening
departure for Connecticut.
Romney was taking another day
off the campaign trail.
He was spending it in meetings at
his vacation home in Wolfeboro,
N.H., where he went to the grocery
store and emerged pushing a shop-
ping cart filled with soda, bottled
water, fresh corn and other items.
Romney also did some shopping
at a drug store and a hardware store.
Looming large for Romney is his
decision on a running mate.
He is expected to name a candi-
date before the Republican National
Convention opens later this month
in Tampa, Fla.
Romneys campaign announced
that he will spend Saturday through
Aug. 14 campaigning by bus
through a different state each day.
The trip opens in Virginia, hits
North Carolina and Florida and
ends next Tuesday in Ohio.
Virginias governor and Ohios Re-
publican U.S. senator are talked
about as potential running mates.

PHOENIX The judge overseeing
the deadly Tucson, Ariz., mass shoot-
ing case on Monday scheduled compe-
tency and change of plea hearings for
defendant Jared Lee Loughner.
U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns
scheduling order confirms that a plea
agreement has been reached in the
shooting that left six dead and former
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others
wounded.
Before Loughner can enter the plea,
Burns must find that Loughner is men-
tally competent and
understands what is
happening. The hear-
ings are set for Tues-
day in Tucson.
Loughner has
spent more than a
year in a federal med-
ical facility in Missou-
ri being treated for mental illness.
Loughner had pleaded not guilty to
49 federal charges stemming from the
Jan. 8, 2011, shooting outside a Tucson
supermarket where Giffords was hold-
ing a meet-and-greet with constituents.
Burns had ruled that Loughner
wasnt psychologically fit to stand trial,
but that hecouldbemadereadyfor trial
after treatment. Experts have conclud-
ed that Loughner suffers from schizo-
phrenia.
A person familiar with the case told
The Associated Press on Saturday that
a court-appointed psychiatrist is to tes-
tify that Loughner is competent to en-
ter a plea. The person was not autho-
rized to discuss the case publicly and
spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person said the plea agreement
would have Loughner receive a life sen-
tence, taking the possibility of the
deathpenalty off the table inthe federal
case.
The top prosecutor in southern Ari-
zonas Pima County said last year that
she may file state charges in the case
that could carry the death penalty.
The state prosecution has been sus-
pended while the federal case went for-
ward, and County Attorney Barbara La-
Wall was not available for comment on
Monday. Her spokeswoman, Isabel
Burruel-Smutzer, declined to com-
ment, saying the office did not have an
active prosecution against Loughner.

JACKSON TWP. -- Supervi-
sors voted Monday to draft an
agreement that would allow the
township to sell its excess com-
post to commercial businesses.
Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said
the supervisors would need to
draft an agreement and have the
action approved by the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection before moving forward
with the sale.
Resident Mary Dockeray had
many questions about the ven-
ture, and opposed the measure
because she felt it would take
business away from local farm-
ers.
Supervisor Al Fox said the
compost will still be free for resi-
dents. The program began two
years ago when the township
joined the West Side Compost
Commission, which enabled the
township to purchase a grinder
through a state grant.
He said compost is made avail-
able for residents to pick up
Monday through Saturday from
dawnuntil dusk. Fox saidDocke-
ray could express her feelings,
but the supervisors have chosen
this measure to benefit resi-
dents, and she is free not to par-
ticipate.
He said the funds from the
commercial purchases would
offset the costs of running the
grinder.
The board also approved an in-
crease in municipal quarterly
contributions from5to7percent
to the Pennsylvania Municipal
Retirement System.
Upon questioning from Dock-
eray, Malak said the statewide
retirement systemsuggested the
increase due to poorly perform-
ing investments. Fox said he be-
lieves it was the first time a raise
in contributions was suggested
in 10 years.
Supervisors also approved an
update to the police policy duty
manual as prepared by the police
chief. Supervisor John Wilkes Jr.
said the update was suggested
by the townships insurance car-
rier, which performs an audit an-
nually.
Fox said the manual includes
everything you could think of
that defines police procedures
and how to perform them. He
said many of the policies are
statewide.

DALLAS TWP. -- The Dallas
School Board discussed wheth-
er it would change its advertis-
ing policy and a new hybrid
learning program for high
school math students at a
meeting Monday.
Chad Lojewski, member of
the Dallas Educational Foun-
dation, told the board about its
first fundraising project, which
is to replace the school sign on
state Route 309 with a digital
sign.
The project, which is esti-
mated to cost about $40,000,
will include space for school
announcements as well as ad-
vertising from local business-
es. Lojewski said the advertis-
ing would be necessary to cre-
ate a source of revenue that
will allow the foundation to
fund future endeavors.
The foundation is a separate,
nonprofit arm of the district
that raises money for scholar-
ships, improved facilities as
well as extracurricular or ath-
letic teams needs.
Lojewski said the current
sign does not allow for multi-
ple messages to be displayed
and messages must be changed
manually. The computerized,
digital sign could be changed
via a laptop or other comput-
ing device and could display 12
messages in a minute.
Lojewski said he and founda-
tion board members spoke
with the property owners of
the land where the current sign
is located at the intersection of
Hildebrandt Road and Route
309 and they will not allow a
sign with advertising to be
placed on their property.
The district does not allow
advertising on campus. Board
member Karen Kyle thought
there might be issues with oth-
er groups wanting to advertise
elsewhere on campus that
could point to the sign as an ex-
ample.
Board Vice President Bruce
Goeringer disagreed with the
notion of advertising local
businesses on campus and said
the sign should be solely for
school announcements.
Board President Catherine
Wega said she felt the board
should be able to disapprove or
discourage advertisers of busi-
nesses that would be inappro-
priate for school students to be
exposed to, but he wondered if
the district could legally do so.
Lojewski also said there
would be costs to maintain the
sign, but they would be signif-
icantly smaller than the initial
installation fee.
Superintendent Frank Gal-
icki said the board will think
about the idea before discuss-
ing it further at the regular
meeting next week.
High School Principal Jef-
frey Shaffer told the board
about a program associated
with Delacour Inc. and the Lu-
zerne Intermediate Unit 18
that would allow hybrid learn-
ing techniques to be employed
in classrooms.
The model the district will
use will incorporate using In-
ternet-based programs to aid
students in the freshman Alge-
bra I course.
The program, which will cost
about $90,000, is being paid for
mostly with Title II funding.
Galicki said additional funding
will come from the Account-
ability Block Grant. He said the
school might receive between
$65,000 and $68,000 in these
funds, which may help to rein-
state elementary tutoring as
well.
The board also hired the fol-
lowing employees: Mark Gold-
en as high school technology
education teacher with a salary
of $35,295; Casey Cicale as
high and middle school spe-
cial-education teacher with a
salary of $35,542; Douglas Mu-
cha as high school long-term
special-education substitute
with a pro-rated salary of
$35,000; and Kelly Guyette as
part-time speech therapist at
an hourly rate of $28.35.

The next School Board meeting
will be at 7 p.m. Aug, 13 in the
administration building.
W H AT S N E X T
DORRANCE TWP. The
board of supervisors voted 3-0
Monday to approve 60-day ex-
tension on a land develop-
ment plan for a site off Small
Mountain Road where The
Button Oil Co. wants to create
a propane tank storage facil-
ity.
The extension was granted
with a provision, proposed by
Supervisor Gary Zane, that
Button should take immediate
steps to apply to the zoning
hearing board to schedule a
hearing on its land develop-
ment application. The super-
visors said there are some
questions about distances be-
tween Buttons tanks and
nearby residential property
that need to be discussed.
Previously, Buttons plans
were advanced by the town-
ship planning commission and
the company won a legal chal-
lenge on zoning and code reg-
ulations after a hearing in
March before District Judge
Ronald Swank of Mountain
Top.
Supervisors said, however,
that issues with the tanks and
provisions of a highway occu-
pancy permit must be resolv-
ed or there will be no further
extensions.
In other business:
In accordance with an ac-
tion by the Luzerne County
Tax Collection Committee,
the supervisors voted to re-
place Centax as the town-
ships occupational tax collec-
tor. Supervisors have said
Centax has failed to resolve
its collection problems.
As a result, at this point in
2012, the township is down
about $15,000 in collections in
comparison to 2011.
Supervisors will conduct a
third hearing at 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday at the township
fire hall on a proposed condi-
tional use permit for the relo-
cation of the quarry operation
of Pennsy Supply Corp. on
Small Mountain Road.
Chairman Royce Engler said
Pennsy representatives must
show the quarry can function
in a safe and environmentally
non-invasive manner.
Engler said he and supervi-
sors Zane and Ben Ostrowski
have not reached any conclu-
sions.
He said, however, he was
impressed with some of the
challenges raised by Robert
Hershey, a hydrologist repre-
senting the township, at a
hearing on July 31.
Hershey debated some of
the points about underground
water levels and wetlands
preservation in studies by
Gerald Ahnell of Hydro-Geo-
logical Services of Camp Hill.
Wednesdays hearing is ex-
pected to feature testimony by
Rick Karantha, an engineer
with Aiken Engineers. Karan-
tha, it was stated, devised the
plans for the shift of Pennsy
operations from the north side
to the south side of Small
Mountain Road.
Because of the volume of
material still to be presented,
Engler said a fourth session
may also have to be sched-
uled.

rosky Sr., had filed a request to
have his clients case heard in ju-
venile court, but that request was
recently withdrawn.
Investigators allege Muntz,
Rausch and Daniels went to the
trailer so Muntz could collect
money and property that Aman-
da Bowmans boyfriend, Jeff La-
ton, had taken.
AmaskedMuntz, armedwitha
stolen .22-caliber handgun,
stormed into the trailer and con-
fronted a sleeping Laton in a bed-
room, investigators say. Bowman
has testified Laton yelled to her
to Shoot, baby, shoot. Bowman
said she fired two shots, striking
Muntz once in the head.
Muntzs death was ruled justi-
fiable homicide, prosecutors
said, noting that Bowman acted
todefendherself andLaton. State
police said that during the inves-
tigation of the shooting, they dis-
covered the trailer was used to
manufacture methampheta-
mines.
Laton, 50, of Old Tavern Road,
faces multiple drug-related
charges. He is currently awaiting
trial after withdrawing a guilty
plea entered in May.
Bowman, 30, of Old Tavern
Road, entered a guilty plea to a
charge of criminal conspiracy of
possession with intent to deliver,
and is tentatively scheduled to be
sentenced on Sept. 4.

Awoman charged with leaving
the scene of a fatal pedestrian ac-
cident has asked the state Su-
preme Court to hear an appeal of
a rulingthat heightenedthe grad-
ing of the offense from a misde-
meanor to a felony.
Basil Russin, attorney for
Megan Panowicz, is seeking to
overturn a decision issued last
month by the state Superior
Court.
Panowicz, of Forty Fort, was
charged in connection with the
Aug. 27, 2008, death of Sharon
Shaughnessy, who was killed on
Wyoming Avenue in Kingston
when she was struck by three ve-
hicles, oneof whichwas allegedly
driven by Panowicz.
Panowicz left the scene before
police arrived. She turned herself
in the next day and was charged
withaccidents involving deathor
personal injury.
Luzerne County prosecutors
hadappealeda judges ruling that
downgraded the offense to a mis-
demeanor a decision that re-
ducedthe possible sentence from
a mandatory one year inprisonto
90 days in prison.
The state Superior Court on
June 27 ruled the judge erred in
his ruling and reinstated the felo-
ny grading.
Russin filed an appeal with the
Supreme Court on July 26. The
court is not obligated to hear the
appeal. It will issue a ruling on
the matter at a later date.

KINGSTON Council on
Monday night publicly lauded
the efforts of longtime police of-
ficer Sgt. Jeff Coslett, who re-
tired on June 29.
A 23-year veteran of the force,
Coslett also was a member of the
Luzerne County Drug Task
Force, a certified instructor of
firearms and firearm safety, and
in 2006 was appointed tactical
response coordinator, serving as
the team leader for that pro-
gram.
Council members commend-
ed Coslett, who primarily
worked the night shift through-
out the majority of his service
time, for his hard work and dedi-
cation in what is typically a dan-
gerous and difficult beat for offi-
cers.
As a community, how do you
say thank you to someone who
puts their life on the line for us
every day? All we candois tojust
simply say thanks, said Mayor
James J. Haggerty before he pre-
sented Coslett with a proclama-
tion naming the week of Aug. 13
through Aug. 20 Sergeant Jeff
Coslett Week.
Twenty-three years of service
to this community is a great,
great service to what he did for
us here, council Vice President
Richard Thompson Jr. said.
I was born and raised in this
town, Coslett said to family,
friends andothers inattendance.
And I love this town.

brought in more than the fire-
fighters anticipated, considering
rainy weather the weekend of Ju-
ly 20, said company President
David Hourigan.
The public came throughand
came out and spent their money.
We were very happy about that,
Hourigan said at the township
supervisors meeting Monday
night.
In other business:
Supervisor Russell Marhold
said he was fairly certain the
road department has finished
filling potholes for the summer,
but if residents know of any still
unfilled, they should let the de-
partment know.
The supervisors approved a
$2,000 donation help repair a
front-end loader used by the
Mountain Top Council of Gov-
ernments at its shared compost-
ing site. The townships secreta-
ry, Barbara Wasiakowski, said
that although the repairs came
as the result of regular wear and
tear, it cost a little more than the
council expected.
The machine is used to load
residents trucks with mulch
from the composting site. It is
now operational and residents
may bring pickup trucks to be fil-
led with compost during times
when an operator is present.
Residents may call the township
office for a list of dates and times
to receive compost.
The supervisors received a
letter from Brianna Burford, a
Girl Scout looking to finish re-
quirements for her Gold Award,

WILKES-BARRE The own-
ers of the former White House
Caf have asked the state Su-
preme Court to hear their appeal
of a lower court ruling that de-
nied the renewal of the taverns li-
quor license.
Lisa and Lou Ruzzi are seeking
to overturn an April 23 ruling by
the a three-member panel of the
states Commonwealth Court
that upheld the denial of the li-
cense based on the states nui-
sance bar law.
The tavern and restaurant, lo-
cated at 198 Hazle Ave., had been
plagued by numerous incidents
over the years, including fatal
shootings that occurred outside
the premises in 2006 and 2007.
The Ruzzis closed the bar in
October 2007, but they have con-
tinuedtofight theLiquor Control
Boards 2007 decision to deny re-
newal of the liquor license a rul-
ing that would preclude them
from selling the license or trans-
ferring it to another location.
After it closed, the building
served as the headquarters for
the Guardian Angels, a citizens
crime watch group, until 2009.
The group relocated after the
Ruzzis indicated they wanted to
sell the building. It has been va-
cant since.
In appealing the liquor license
denial, the Ruzzis argued they
took numerous steps, including
installing metal detectors and
cameras and adding security per-
sonnel, to address problems.
In a 2-1decision, the Common-
wealth Court acknowledged the
couple made efforts but deter-
mined the actions were still inad-
equate.
Sal Cognetti, attorney for the
Ruzzis, filed an appeal on July 24
with the Supreme Court. The
court is not obligated to hear the
appeal. It will decide that matter
at a later date.
The building housing the former White House Cafe on Hazle Ave-
nue in Wilkes-Barre has been vacant since 2009.

Fort man charged with as-
saulting a man with a metal
pipe pleaded guilty Monday
to a related charge and was
sentenced to nine months
probation.
Mark Chudoba, 21, of Mur-
ray Street, was sentenced on a
charge of simple assault and
sentenced by Judge David
Lupas.
According to court papers,
Michael Ferris told police he
was at a Kingston house when
he was awoken by being
punched in the face and
struck in the head with a
metal pipe.
Police said Ferris had sever-
al lacerations on his head, was
bleeding from his nose and
his eyes were swollen. A wit-
ness said Chudoba came into
the house asking Where is
she? and thats when the
assault on Ferris began. Court
papers indicate a woman at
the residence was an ex-girl-
friend of Chudobas.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man charged with stabbing
another man who refused to
stash drugs at his Mountain
Top home pleaded guilty
Monday to a related charge.
Armoni Johnson, 25, of
South Main Street, entered
the plea to a charge of aggra-
vated assault stemming from
the August 2011 incident.
Judge Fred Pierantoni said
Johnson will be sentenced on
the charge on Oct. 12.
Police allege Terrill Mattox
and Johnson stabbed Justin
Barna at the Capitol Hill
Apartments on Charter Drive
on Aug. 7. Barna suffered stab
wounds to his chest, abdomen
and back.
According to the criminal
complaint, Barna told police
Johnson and a man he knows
as Terrill were his heroin
suppliers. He stated Johnson
called him the night before he
was stabbed, told him he was
robbed of drugs and he
blamed Barna for it. Barna
offered that Johnson could
search his apartment for the
missing drugs.
Barna told police Johnson
called him on Aug. 7, 2011
and asked him to stash drugs.
He refused and later heard a
knock on the door. When
Barna opened the door, he
said, he was immediately
stabbed, the criminal com-
plaint says.
Barna alleged Mattox held
him while he was being
stabbed.
Mattox, 28, with a last
known address of Darling
Street, Wilkes-Barre, is await-
ing trial on burglary, aggravat-
ed assault and other charges.
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge on Friday

her sentence reduced.
Judge William Amesbury
denied a request to reduce the
sentence of Kathleen Jordan,
49, of Valley View Drive, Prin-
gle, stating the sentence was
fair under the circumstanc-
es.
Jordan pleaded guilty to a
charge of third-degree murder
in the death of 45-year-old
Milo "Butch" Reilly, and was
later sentenced by Amesbury.
Jordan made a request to
have her sentence shortened
in June.

PLYMOUTH TWP. Supervi-
sors appointed resident Wayne
Wolfe as township flood plain
manager on Monday night.
The government requires that
a flood plain manager be chosen
whenever anarea is flooded. Por-
tions of the township were hard
hit by last Septembers river
flooding.
Wolfe will attend a mandatory
four-day class to learn the specif-
ics of his newly appointed posi-
tion. Council President Gail
Conrad expressed complete
confidence in Wolfes ability to
fulfill his upcoming duties.
In other matters:
Conrad noted that the town-
ship has waived the local permit
fee for residents who have been
affected by the flood. The fees
are waived only for residents
whose repairs are necessary due
to damage caused by the flood-
ing, not for general maintenance
repairs. Residents will still need
to obtain a permit.
This action applies only to res-
idential properties, not commer-
cial buildings.
Supervisor Joseph Yudichak
saidthe pipe work being done on
the road at Mountain Village is
nearly complete and paving of
the road should begin within the
next few days. After the roads
completion, storm drainage and
pipe work will begin on Avon-
dale Hill.

FORTY FORT -- Resident
Andy Tuzinski at Monday
nights council meeting asked
that Joe Chackes position as
president be challenged by a
vote of council on reorganiza-
tion.
The vote resulted in a tie,
with Robert Craig, Dorothy
Craig and Karen Martinelli
voting in favor, and Rick Ka-
mus, Frank Michaels and
Chacke voting against the reor-
ganization.
After research by Solicitor
Sam Falcone, who requested a
brief recess, Mayor Boyd
Hoats broke the tie with a no
vote, and the motion for reor-
ganization failed. Chacke will
remain as president.
Tuzinski also addressed a
delay in the appropriate trans-
fer of pension funds, which
Borough Manager Barbara
Fairchild assured him had now
been completed.
In another matter, upon a re-
quest by Sherri Yeninas, bor-
ough pool supervisor, council
moved to keep the pool open
until Aug. 19 and again open it
during Labor Day activities.
Although council had origi-
nally planned to close the pool
early for financial reasons, Ye-
ninas said there would be no
fiscal benefit to the communi-
ty if the pool closed early, and
it would result in many school-
age children with nothing to
do and possibly getting in trou-
ble.
Also, resident Joe Homza
asked council why current po-
lice Chief Fred Lahovski was
still employed by Nazareths
police force, against stated
personnel policy.
Falcone said the matter was
scheduled for arbitration and
he was not free to discuss it
during the meeting.
Joe (Chacke) and I dont
agree on much, but we do
agree that the police chief is
doing a stellar job, Council-
man Craig said.
Homza said his concern was
about transparency and com-
munication with council and
the community.

Residents urged to attend
hearing on compressor
A
Luzerne County Zoning Hearing
Board meeting is scheduled for 7 to-
night at the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse (second floor). It is important that
residents of West Wyoming and nearby
communities attend and learn what is
happening in their backyards. UGI is pro-
posing to erect compressor stations on
Bunker Hill. As the crow flies and the wind
blows, you most certainly will be impacted
by this development.
These compressors potentially will im-
pact your property values, your lives and,
most important, the health of your family
and children.
Gas compressors run constantly. The
emission from one compressor is equal to
75 Martz buses in idle. The UGI plan is for
three compressors initially. Homeowners
near massive gas compressor stations
complain of respiratory ailments, nervous
system disorders, allergies and chronically
sick children.
Please attend this important meeting to
let the zoning officers hear our views.

Its not too late to change
your life for the better
W
hen I think of what this world is
made of, tears fill my eyes because
cruelty is at the top of my list.
Lately, all Im seeing when I read the
paper or watch TV is children or animals
being killed or having horrendous things
done to them. Life is such a wonderful gift,
yet we use it as a tool to satisfy our darkest
desires.
Where is the blame to be placed? At
birth? We still havent proven that. The
parents? No, there are parents out there
who have done everything to give their
family a safe, loving, warm, caring life.
Society? Are we not born with a brain, had
the teachings of right and wrong?
It seems to me that the more crimes
committed, the more other people find
excuses for why and thats all they are --
excuses. I didnt come from a two-parent
home; my life had more trauma, pain and
disappointments than a room full of peo-
ple. To change it around was totally up to
me! I finally realized the path I was trav-
eling was wrong. I have a wonderful hus-
band, a child who truly loves me, a mother
who I love, respect, admire and who I
always will protect.
My wish is that youll change; my hope
is that its for the best. No one ever said
life was easy, but life is what you make it.

K
Disclaimer: The Pennsylva-
nia Association of Nonprofit
Organizations neither sup-
ports or doubts the Freeh
Report. The following in-
formation is based on the
report as written.
AS I listened to and read all that was com-
ing out of the whole Penn State scenario, I
found myself focusing on the lessons we
must learn from the behaviors that have
resulted in the suffering of so many first the
children and then all those associated with
Penn State.
For the past 10 years I have administered
The Standards for Excellence: An Ethics and
Accountability Program for the Nonprofit
Sector at the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania
Association of Nonprofit Organizations. For
the sake of transparency, this is not about
selling The Standards for Excellence pro-
gram; it is about doing all we can to get non-
profit boards to sit up straight and pay atten-
tion to where their focus needs to be.
While many nonprofit board members
might not take the time to read the Freeh
Report, we hope they at least listen to the
key lessons learned from this investigative
report and use those lessons to make our
nonprofit boards and organizations stronger
and more accountable.
Who oversees the policies? Penn State had
350 policies in place (Freeh Report, p. 36). It
is the boards role to review policy and ensure
compliance. Even the smallest nonprofits
should have a minimum number of policies
in place to ensure accountable operations.
So how does the board review anywhere
from10 to 350 policies on a periodic basis? A
nonprofit should have a system and/or com-
mittee structure in place to ensure the review
takes place on a periodic basis. Lack of en-
forcement and even knowledge of the Clery
Act at Penn State is the clearest example of
how not overseeing policies can lead to disas-
ter. Penn State had no centralized system of
ensuring policy enforcement (Freeh Report,
p. 37).
The boards question must be this: What
is our system of policy oversight?
What are the elements of risk manage-
ment that need to be in place? The greatest
lesson learned here for all nonprofit boards is
to make sure clearly written procedures exist
on what chief executive officers and exec-
utive directors need to report to the board.
And what board members need to know to
ensure their accountability.
Former university President Graham Span-
iers alleged cover ups, and at times mis-
leading information given to the board on the
Jerry Sandusky investigation for more than 11
years, seemingly led the board into a state of
numbness on critical issues.
The board needs to ask this: What do we
need to know for risk-management purpos-
es?
The Standards program recommends
that the board review a legal audit of the
organization at least once a year. Standards
makes this cost efficient by providing a 14-
page legal audit checklist covering key legal
areas applicable to most nonprofits. Other
such checklists might exist. The bottom line
is the board needs to be assured legal over-
sight is in place.
When is there too much trust in the CEO/
executive director? No matter how well re-
spected, how looked up to, how in charge
the person appears, boards must never use
that as a substitute for having the above-
mentioned systems in place. Penn States
board took Spaniers lead because they trust-
ed him, as opposed to the CEO/director
taking the boards lead.
Can we define the culture of our orga-
nizations? Is it an ethical culture that pro-
motes the values and mission of the orga-
nization? It could not be clearer that the
individuals responsible for withholding in-
formation on child sex abuse did not have a
culture of protecting the children. Yet, Penn
State is all about promoting the education
and futures of youth. We need to take a look
at the core values of our institutions and
ensure that they permeate the formal sys-
tems (policies, procedures, organizational
structure and control, etc.) and the informal
systems (methods of communication, rituals,
heroes, publications, etc.).
We need to ensure our culture reflects our
values.
Nonprofit governing boards, please sit up
straighter (which implies you are sitting at
the meetings to start with), know your prop-
er roles and ask the right questions. Allow
the good work of your organization to flour-
ish, and dont end up spending money and
resources to correct wrong deeds. Then
something positive might filter through from
the Penn State experience.

S GREATBLOWS for
freedom go, it wasnt
Rosa Parks taking her
seat at the front of the
bus, but some Americans lined
up to eat chicken sandwiches
on Wednesday to make a point.
That was their right, but
Chick-fil-A appreciation day
as sincere as it was never-
theless had a touch of the ab-
surd. It has come to this in
America: People become agi-
tated over the separation of
church and chicken.
Chick-fil-A is the fast-food
company runonbiblical princi-
ples. Its devoutly Christian
owner Dan Cathy told the Bap-
tist Press last month that the
company supports the biblical
definition of the family unit.
This had the effect of putting
the company into the hottest
broiler of the culture wars the
issue of same-sex marriage
but in America people can free-
ly state their principles and act
on them.
And other people can criti-
cize themfor it. Thats howthe
First Amendment works.
Those mayors around the
country Pittsburghs Luke
Ravenstahl included who
havesuggestedthat thecompa-
nyis not welcomeintheir cities
cant bar the company because
of its principles.
Those who made a point
Wednesday by eating chicken
sandwiches were certainly sup-
porting a company under fire
and probably stating their op-
position to gay marriage as
well. We happen to think that
no amount of defiant dining
will in the long run defeat the
growing recognition that gay
people should be allowed to
marry their loved ones as a
matter of simple justice.

Quite the flap
at Chick-fil-A
T
HEYSAYAcomputer
glitch caused a Lu-
zerne County jury
summons to be sent
to Connor Smith of Swoyers-
ville, who happens to be, get
this, 12 years old. Thats a half
dozen years too young to even
be eligible to serve on a jury.
Connor, consider your spe-
cial delivery a civics lesson in
all that can and does go
wrong in government. Frame
the paperwork and tote it to
middle school this fall for a
class discussion about the U.S.
court system; while youre at it,
ask your teachers about prop-
erty tax bills. (Presumably
youll get one of those shortly,
nowthat youre onthe countys
mailing list.)
Juveniles across the state, in-
cluding at least 10 in Luzerne
County, have received jury
summonses due to flaws in a
system established by the Ad-
ministrative Office of Pennsyl-
vania Courts, says Don Tedes-
co, jury supervisor for Luzerne
County. The system pulls
names of prospective jurors
from several sources such as
drivers license, voter registra-
tion and Social Security Ad-
ministration lists. At the coun-
ty level, theres no way to weed
out underage people, Tedesco
says.
Parents of a 15-year-old girl
sent an email to The Times
Leader in response to Satur-
days news article about Con-
nor, saying their daughter also
had received
a Luzerne
County jury
summons.
Initially, they
worried that
she might
have been
the victim of
identity theft.
For that and many other rea-
sons, not the least of which is
credibilitys sake, the state
courts need to correct this im-
perfection. If humans can re-
motely guide a roving robot,
traveling at 13,000 mph, to a
gentle touchdown on the sur-
face of Mars, cant we devise
computer coding to ensure our
jury pools include only grow-
nups?
For that matter, cant much
of the jury-selection process
which for many people consti-
tutes their only contact with
the court system be modern-
ized? As is, the situation
doesnt build confidence in our
judicial system. Many people
experience long waits andtedi-
um, never hearing a trial. By
comparison, it seems grander
technology is used to seat pa-
trons at busy restaurants.
In the meantime, Connor,
welcome to adulthood. And be
on the lookout later this year
for other goodies in your mail-
box: notices from your Uncle
Sam, solicitations for GQmag-
azine, seasonal L.L. Bean cata-
logues and your membership
application for AARP.

tims of this incident.
Two injured race attendees
were taken to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Cen-
ter in Plains Township, one
with moderate injuries and the
other with minor injuries. Four
more were taken to Lehigh Val-
ley Hospital Center-Cedar
Crest in Salisbury Township,
near Allentown, including one
in critical condition.
On Monday, Brian Downs, a
Lehigh Valley Hospital spokes-
man, said the critical patient
was upgraded to stable condi-
tion; two others also are in sta-
ble condition and one has been
discharged. He could not pro-
vide names, ages, sex or home-
town of the patients.
Without having the names of
the other victims, attempts to
get updates on conditions on
Monday from other hospitals
were unsuccessful.
It is our hospital policy to
not issue any potential patient-
related information, said Ge-
offrey Roche, a Pocono Medi-
cal Center spokesman.
Matt Van Stone, spokesman
for Geisinger Wyoming Valley,
said without a name, he cannot
comment.
Track officials say that be-
tween social media messages
and an announcement on the
public address system, fans
were urged to leave the metal
grandstands and seek shelter.
At 4:21 p.m. Sunday, about
30 minutes before the race was
officially called, Pocono Race-
way issued the following warn-
ing on its Twitter and Face-
book accounts: ATTENTION
FANS: Severe thunderstorms
are in the area which will pro-
duce high winds and lightning.
Should arrive in 10-15 mins.
The race was stopped by
NASCAR officials at about
4:50 p.m. when rain began fall-
ing.
At 4:59 p.m. Sunday, the fol-
lowing message was posted on
the tracks Twitter and Face-
book pages: ATTENTION
FANS: Be advised, seek shelter
as severe lightning and heavy
winds are in our area.
A story in USA Today quoted
Sheena Baker of Somerset,
who said as she was leaving
the track at 4:30 p.m. and
heard a severe weather an-
nouncement on the tracks PA
system. But Baker said it was
hard to hear over the sound of
jet dryers and cars on the
track. Baker said she and her
friends left the track after
checking the weather radar on
their smartphones.
If people in the grandstands
can watch the radar, they had
to know this was coming,
Baker said. They should have
done a better job of notifying
the people in the grand-
stands.
Review under way
NASCAR spokesman Dave
Higdon told The Associated
Press that officials are review-
ing how the track carried out
its emergency procedures. He
cautioned against rushing to
judgment until all the facts are
known.
Anytime something like
this happens, we make sure we
look at it again and see if
theres anything we should
have done different, Higdon
said. Its never a good day for
us when someone passes and
people are hurt.
Track officials are going
through log books to establish
a timeline for the storm,
weather warnings and final
laps of the shortened race, Ig-
dalsky said.

hanna and other facilities receive
adequate funding for their oper-
ations.
Conference committees are
used to draft a compromise bill
acceptabletoboththeHouseand
Senate. Both houses of Congress
must passidentical legislationfor
a bill to become law.
Intheletter, Barlettaexpressed
his staunch support for Army de-
pots and arsenals and noted he
voted for the bill because he re-
ceivedassurances therewouldbe
adequate funds available for the
depots.
Chairman weighs in
U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-
Florida, chairmanof the subcom-
mittee, commended Barletta for
bringing the issue to the commit-
tees attention.
Young said he is meeting with
Army officials to determine first
if there is a problem with the
available surplus and second to
ensure all depots including To-
byhanna are not cut.
Yes, weareawareof themisin-
formation, Young said. If there
is a problem, we will fix it.
Young said the Army claimed
to have a $1 billion surplus, and
the subcommittee decidedtouse
half of that to fund the defense
bill.
He said Barletta came to him
and was adamant about an ac-
counting error.
Young said the Senate an-
nounced it will not pass any ap-
propriationsbillsthisyear. Young
said the issue could have been re-
solvedinconferencewhenHouse
andSenateleadersmet todiscuss
the defense bill.
April Mellody, spokeswoman
for U.S. Sen. Robert Casey, D-
Scranton, said he expects the is-
sue to be resolved.
Sen. Casey expects to work
with the entire delegation to en-
sure funding for these depots be-
cause theyare not onlykeytoour
national security, but arealsoma-
joremployersinthestate,Mello-
dy said.
Bill Tighe, Marinos chief of
staff, said Marino is well aware of
the situation and he along with
other members of the House Mil-
itary Depot and Industrial Facil-
ities Caucus are working togeth-
er to correct the problem.
He (Marino) voted for the bill
withthe promise fromHouse Ap-
propriations Committee mem-
bers that this problem will be
dealt withbefore Fiscal Year 2013
defense funding is finalized,
Tighe said.
He was aware that Tobyhanna
could be affected, and he is seek-
ing a commitment to fix this and
that was key in his decision to
vote for the bill, Tighe added.
Phil Scollo, Marinos Demo-
cratic opponent in November,
said the defense bill would evis-
cerate funding for Tobyhanna.
Unless it is fixed, this defense
appropriations bill couldbeareal
disaster for our regions economy
and especially for the hard-work-
ing families employed at Toby-
hanna, Scollo said in a release.

BARLETTA
awakened by a loud thump-
ing and her dog barking, po-
lice said. When she heard
breaking glass and the house
alarm sound, she grabbed her
cellphone and hid in a closet.
When Pollock heard two
male voices in her home, she
called a family member and
stayed in the closet until help
arrived. The intruders left
shortly after she heard them
inside.
Police said four rounds were
fired through a glass-plated
rear door, which tripped the
alarm. There was also evi-
dence, police said, that a shot
was fired while the intruders
were in the house.
The spree began, police
said, when Conden and three
other people who have not
been charged locally allegedly
stole a vehicle in West Nanti-
coke and then broke into a ga-
rage in Edwardsville and a
Jackson Township residence
Thursday night.
Police said they stole jewel-
ry, money, two handguns, am-
munition, gasoline, beer and
food before the home invasion
in Lehman Township and
robbed the Sheetz service sta-
tion in Kingston Township on
Friday morning.
It shows you what lengths
people will do to get money,
Kelly said.
Conden was arraigned by
District Judge James Tupper
on charges of burglary and be-
ing a fugitive from justice. He
was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility
for lack of $200,000 bail.
I dont know what youre
talking about, Conden said
after he was arraigned. I
dont know what youre telling
me.
Conden yelled to reporters
that he loves a woman and
wont be seeing you for a
while.
Kelly said the search for
Conden was intensified after
Conden was allegedly in-
volved in an armed robbery
with shots fired in Ocean City,
Md.
In a news release, Ocean
City police said Conden initi-
ated a pursuit in a vehicle sto-
len from West Nanticoke and
crashed into another vehicle.
Three people in the vehicle,
Sarah Jean Gryskevicz, 19, of
Wilkes-Barre; Antonio Lee
Suarez, 18, of Allentown, and
Payne Prasnikar, 21, of Stillwa-
ter, were arrested in Ocean
City after the pursuit.
Gryskevicz told state police
after her arrest in Ocean City
that the four were driving
around stealing items from
places when they drove up to a
mansion, referring to the
house on Huntsville-Idetown
Road. They parked nearby and
walked up to the house when
Conden opened fire at the
door, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
After they drove away from
the house, Gryskevicz alleged,
Conden robbed the Sheetz ser-
vice station on the Dallas Me-
morial Highway in Kingston
Township.
Kelly said Kingston Town-
ship police are investigating
the Sheetz robbery.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Aug. 16.
CONDEN
ban, scholarship cuts and 111 va-
cated wins from 1998-2011,
meaning Joe Paterno no longer
has the most coaching victories
in major college football.
Sandusky is awaiting sentenc-
ing in jail after being convicted
in June on 45 criminal counts.
McCombies attorneys in the
letter said his heart breaks for
the victims of this terrible saga,
and that he and other trustees
committed to taking decisive
measure to show respect for vic-
tims and insuring such episodes
dont happen again.
That said, these objectives
should not be achieved by ignor-
ing or trampling upon the funda-
mental rights of others, the let-
ter to the NCAA said. The de-
sire for speed and decisiveness
cannot justify violating the due
process rights of other involved
individuals or the University as a
whole. That is what has oc-
curred here.
The NCAA last week said the
penalties werent subject to ap-
peal after Paternos family said
they also planned to file one. A
Penn State spokesman declined
comment Monday on McCom-
bies letter, as did a spokesman
for thePaternos family. TheHall
of Fame coach died in January at
age 85.
Former FBI director Louis
Freeh, wholedthe schools inter-
nal investigation in the scandal,
said July 12 that Paterno and
three school officials concealed
allegations against Sandusky
conclusions firmly denied by the
Paterno family and the officials.
School trustees then said they
accepted responsibility for fail-
ures of accountability in the
scandal.
Acting with rare speed, col-
lege sports governing body an-
nounced sanctions July 23 after
Penn State handed over results
of Freehs investigation. The
school accepted the sanctions
and signed off on a consent de-
cree, with President Rodney Er-
ickson saying later he didnt see
a better option since the threat
of the death penalty, or the to-
tal shutdown of the football pro-
gram, loomed over the school.
Trustees ousted Paterno in
November, days after Sandusky
was arrested, but McCombie
wasnt on the board then.
McCombie, one of three new
trustees elected this spring by
alumni, was supported in his
campaign by an alumni watch-
dog group that had been critical
of the boards actions.
That letter was obtained by
The Associated Press. McCom-
bie verified the correspondence
but otherwise declined com-
ment.
His attorneys in writing the
NCAA challenged a finding that
trustees did not perform over-
sight duties.
They also said:
Erickson lacked the author-
ity to agree to the sanctions and
waive any appeal because the
full board wasnt informed of the
matter or didnt sign off on the
sanctions.
That the NCAAdidnt follow
its own procedures by conduct-
ing its own investigation that
was never intended as a founda-
tional platform for punitive ac-
tion by the NCAA.
That the NCAA penalties
were unfair because the Freehs
report reached conclusions
based on assumptions, conjec-
ture andmisplacedcharacteriza-
tions that are contrary to availa-
ble facts and evidence.
That the sanctions were ex-
cessive and unreasonable, and
they hurt athletes and coaches
who werent involved in wrong-
doing at a school that had never
before had major NCAA viola-
tions.

Former PSU assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and his wife, Dottie Sandusky, arrive for a hearing in
December at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte. The Sandusky child sexual abuse scan-
dal and a report alleging a coverup have brought sanctions that a trustee is now challenging.
Doyne said she thinks one of
the reasons the girls keep com-
ing to meetings is because of
the wide variety of programs
and speakers. This summers
speakers have included state
Rep. Karen Boback, Lisa
Knight of Empire Beauty
School and Sue Henry, a radio
personality at WILK-FM.
Doyne said members of
Leadership Wilkes-Barre also
came into to talk to the girls.
The real proof of the pro-
gram is how the girls speak of
it.
Andrianna Roque, 16, who
attends Meyers High School is
enthusiastic. Its really inter-
esting. You meet interesting
people.
She said guest speaker Amy
Lewis presentation of her life
story moved Roque to tears.
Its getting me ready for the
real world, interacting more in-
stead of sleeping all day, she
said.
Samantha Rafferty, 14, who
goes to Coughlin High School,
said she agreed to everything
her friend Andrianna had said.
I want to be a large animal
or wild animal vet, Rafferty
said. (The program is) going
to help me. Im learning how to
budget and how to get into a
college.
Rafferty said she gets sup-
port for the program at home.
My mom is excited for me to
come here, she said.
Selenia Garcia, 17, who goes
to Meyers High School likes
hearing speakers who talk
about their own lives. She said
Amy Lewis story was true
and real.
She said she has gained con-
fidence from the program. Its
helped me feel more comfort-
able interacting with people,
Garcia said.
When the school year be-
gins, Doyne said, the project is
seeking to involve 60 to 75
girls. She also said the project
is actively recruiting volunteer
mentors for the young women
who will participate in the pro-
gram.
The Magnolia Project is
working with Wilkes-Barre Ar-
ea schools, but Doyne said the
program is looking to work
with other school districts as
well.
What we can offer is a one-
day-a-week program with all
the girls, Doyne said. It will al-
so offer one 30-minute mentor-
ing session a week.
She said staffers and men-
tors of the Magnolia Project
would be going to the girls at
their home schools during
eighth period in Wilkes-Barre
Area schools but would be will-
ing to visit any school district.
A young woman of high
school age who is interested in
the program can approach a
guidance counselor at her
school or contact Doyne direct-
ly at 825-5261. Those interest-
ed in mentoring a young wom-
an may contact Doyne as well.
MAGNOLIA
industrial right behind their
homes.
Daniels said the building is
designed to be expanded in a di-
rection that would not approach
homes along Ridgewood Road.
Stachovus said industrial zon-
ing allows for only 50 percent
impervious coverage of a prop-
erty when new development oc-
curs. He said any further devel-
opment would likely have to
come before the commissioners
for a zoning variance.
But residents were still skep-
tical.
Resident Frank Lotzi said he
would be OK with a zoning
change if there was a buffer
zone of adequate size mandat-
ed.
Solicitor Stephen Menn said a
county official had recommend-
ed a buffer zone of 50 feet.
Resident Barry Centini asked
why Memco wasnt asking to re-
zone the 6 acres used for park-
ing instead of 17 acres.
Daniels said municipalities
typically dont like to break up
single parcels of land into two
zoning districts.
Addressing the board, Centini
said its a lot easier, once its
rezoned, for them to completely
use the whole 17 acres. We
have a blacktop plant there, we
have a quarry there, and now
youre looking at another 17
acres of future industrial devel-
opment behind a lot of residen-
tial homes where people are al-
ready suffering from the devel-
opment thats already there.
Resident Michael Rosencrans
said he bought property along
Ridgewood Road because the
nearby land was zoned residen-
tial and he likes having forest
behind his home. He was also
concerned about tons of topsoil
continuously being trucked on-
to the property.
Plains Township Planning
Commission Chairman Marty
OConnor, who was sitting in
the audience, asked how many
acres of land Memco is grading.
Stachovus said 3 acres.
Zoning Officer Kathy OBoyle
said a zoning permit is neces-
sary for any earth disturbance in
excess of 2 acres.
Yozwiak asked if Memco re-
ceived a permit for the grading.
Stachovus said Memco did not
because he didnt know one was
required.
OConnor said all work
should cease and desist until
and unless a permit is issued.
After the hearing, OBoyle
said she would talk with Memco
officials today and if they volun-
tarily stopped grading work, she
didnt think a cease-and-desist
order would be necessary.
Mangan declined comment.
Menn said commissioners
could vote on the rezoning re-
quest at their regular meeting
on Thursday or they could table
the issue and address it at the
next meeting.
In other business, the board
heard from flood plain planning
consultant Jack Varaly, who said
a revised flood plain manage-
ment plan that reflects new
flood plain maps, is ready for
the commissioners approval.
He said the plan has already
had state and federal approval.
Varaly said flood plain maps
had not been revised since 1977,
and the new maps that were re-
leased two years ago reflect an
additional 223 properties in the
township nowin the flood plain.
Charles Krommes asked who
the plan administrator would
be.
Varaly said the administrator
is typically a zoning officer, but
commissioners could appoint
anyone familiar with regula-
tions.
Commissioners are also ex-
pected to vote on the new flood
plain regulations at Thursdays
meeting.

T
hey remembered him from days
long, long ago, when Bill Ruth
was putting together an un-
beatable combination with his athlet-
icism and his will power.
But hes 60 years old now, and no
longer the favorite he once was to win
the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon.
It didnt matter to Ruth, or those
who watched him complete the races
31st running Sunday.
Hey Bill! fans shouted as he made
his way through the Wilkes-Barre
course.
Go Bill! they urged.
That instant recognition seemed
strange to a man who hasnt won a race
at Wilkes-Barre since 1985 and hadnt
raced there since 1987.
Its not like it says Bill on here,
Ruth said, pointing to the cap on his
head. Its not like it says 60 years old
on my leg. I thought that was pretty
cool.
It is why the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon
will always have a special place in his
heart.
Ruth showed plenty of heart during
that triathlons formative years win-
ning three of the first four races and
carrying his broken bike for more than
a mile following a bloody crash to win
the 1983 event.
He failed to finish first just once from
1982-85, but only because Ruth didnt
compete at Wilkes-Barre in 1984.
He came up from his former home in
Bethlehem and turned into an instant
local legend, even after staying away
for 25 years and even after two flat tires
in 1987 cost him a chance to really
challenge the Wilkes-Barre field when
it was filled with professionals.
The retiree who now lives in Estes,
Colo., finished seventh overall with a
time of 2:26.42 and won his age group,
for competitors 60-64 years old, by
more than 42 minutes.
At least he didnt blow out a tire or
two this time.
I said, Im not laying my bike
down! Ruth laughed. Its a $10,000
bike. You get old, you get smart.
The old race hero thought back to
the early days at Wilkes-Barre, and
seemed grateful the atmosphere sur-
rounding this triathlon hasnt changed.
I think the first year, there were so
many people out, it was unbelievable,
Ruth said of this areas triathlon in-
terest. It surprised the hell out of us. I
always remember lots of people here,
and huge newspaper coverage.
He said his memories were dead-on
Sunday, playing out all over again from
the courteous and cooperative volun-
teers and traffic guides stationed along
the course to the receptive residents
always seem to welcome the triathlon
with open arms.
That makes this race different, Ruth
said.
I did a couple triathlons in Col-
orado, Ruth said. They do it, and
they leave. The traffic cops, half of
them arent even looking and you dont
know if theyre going to protect you or
not. Theres nobody on the course
cheering out there. They throw tacks
out on the road during races, because
some people arent happy about having
their roads shut down during races.
He knows a triathlete can always
find a sense of happiness competing in
a Wilkes-Barre Traithlon that not only
embraces competitors, but never lets
go of their hearts.
This is cool, Ruth said. Its the
friendliest, family-like race.
Its enough to make the races origi-
nal icon wonder why he stayed away.

I feel great, OBrien said. I got here

SCRANTON Theres an old adage in
baseball that the sport is a funny game.
That couldnt be more relevant than
during the American Legion Command-
ers Cup between the
Wyoming Valley
League and District 11.
Perhaps the weirdest
thing to happen in the
best-of-five series is
that that visiting team
has outscoredthe home
team 38-0 in four
games. The teams have alternated being
the visitor and, still, the outcome is simi-
lar. That counts Monday nights game at
Battaglia Field, when the Wyoming Val-
ley all-stars stayedalive inthe event with
an 8-0 win over the league from Lacka-
wanna County. The fifth and decisive
game of the series will be tonight at 8 at

After spending an entire sea-
son playing without a home, the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
wont waste any time getting
back into the friendly confines in
2013.
The Yankees or whatever the
name of the team may be will
begin next season with seven
straight dates at renovated PNC
Field. The teams schedule was
announced Monday.
The teamis also inthe midst of
a name the team contest to de-
cide whether the Yankee name
will remain. A decision on the
name is expected sometime this
month.
We cannot wait to share with
our community the re-construct-
ed PNC Field on April 4, 2013,
said Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees President and General Man-
ager Rob Crain in a press release.
In only 239 days, SWB baseball

portunity to watch the next Yan-
kee greats in the most fan friend-
ly venue in all of MiLB.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres first
homestand of 2013 will begin
with International League North
Division and franchise rival Paw-
tucket Red Sox coming in for a
three-game series startingThurs-
day, April 4, and running through
April 6, with all game times slat-
ed for 7:05 p.m.
Once the PawSox leave town,
Rochester comes in a season af-
ter helping SWB find a place a
stay for the 2012 season, as the
Yankees played a majority of
their home games at Rochesters
Frontier Field.
With the exception of Opening

May will start at 6:35 p.m. when
games are played on Mondays,

played at PNC Field in August.
A combined 24 games will be

game on the sidelines as a head
coach, OBrien and the Lions
still have a tricky balancing act.
The message this month has
been to move forward, but
OBrien wants people to keep in
mind how the program and the
university reached this point in
the wake of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal.
Its a new Penn State,
OBrien said. Its a new Penn
State football program. We have
some restrictions, but we all
know why theyre there, and
weregoingtomakesurethat we
focus on that in addition to do-
ing a really good job of playing
some good, tough football.
I think weve got a lot of good
things going on here. I think
number one is, weve got to re-
member why were in the posi-
tionwere inandweve got toun-
derstand our responsibility to
the community, to children, to
child abuse organizations
thats number one. These kids
understand that. Were going to
talk about that quite a bit. Were
going to showwhat we mean by
that.
OBrien will followup on that
this week by meeting with the
Pennsylvania Coalition Against
Rape and said the program will
continue to be involved in
events like Special Olympics
and Lift For Life.
On the field, the Lions appear
to have finally found some sta-
bility. Nine players eight on
scholarship, including three
projected starters have trans-
ferredinthetwoweeks sincethe
NCAA sanctions hit.
But OBrien said he does not
expect any further defections
now that camp has started.
The Lions biggest loss was
starting tailback Silas Redd.
OBrien has already tabbed
sophomore Bill Belton as his
new starter at the position.
Its Billy Beltons time to
shine. ... Were not retooling ev-
erything because one player
left, OBrien said when asked
about Redds departure. This is
about a whole team, not one in-
dividual.
The seasons first practice be-
gan at 6:15 a.m., with all return-
ing players accounted for. True
freshmen like WVC standout
Eugene Lewis will join the rest
of the team in practice today.
Only the final 20 minutes of
the opening session were open
to the media.
As expected, the defense got
the better of the offense during
7-on-7 drills, withthe secondary
intercepting quarterbacks Matt
McGloin, Paul Jones and Shane
McGregor four times in roughly
15 minutes.
Results were more balanced
when the offense and defense
went to full 11-on-11 practice.
The players were not infull pads
for the start of camp, as mandat-
ed by NCAA rules.
A few projected starters like
tackle Donovan Smith and safe-
ty Jake Fagnano were on the
sideline during drills at the end
of the session. OBrien said both
were dealing with minor
hamstring issues Gotta hy-
drate better, he jokedandthat
there were no injuries of any
concern.
While OBrien was forthcom-
ing about his personnel and the
teams plans for August, there
was still one subject he was
keeping quiet about.
Those uniforms.
With rumors abound that the
team will change them in some
way before the Sept. 1 opener
against Ohio Names on the
back? Numbers on the helmets?
Something entirely different al-
together? OBrien said noth-
ing is finalized.
Thats still under discus-
sion, OBrien said. If that does
happen, Ill make sure I let you
know why we did it.

NABIL K. MARK/CENTRE DAILY TIMES
Penn State running back Bill Belton runs during practice Mon-
day in State College.
Its just ironic. Its just hard to
believe, saidWyomingValleyco-
manager Gary Gavrish, from
Swoyersville. I think its that the
kids that are throwing and have
shut the teams out, you have to
give credit to them.
The WyomingValley threwout
one of those pitchers on Monday
inGreater Pittstons AdamRoma-
nowski. The righty kept the team
alive by pitching five shutout in-
nings, scattering just three hits
and allowing only a pair of walks.
The only inning he was introuble
was the fourth, when District 11
had the bases loaded with two
outs. But the righty reached back
andstruckout NoahLaske toend
the threat.
What we felt was important
was keeping their hitters off-bal-
ance. We were very confident of
Adam doing that and thats what
he did, said Don Stark of Plains,
Wyoming Valleys co-manager.
What has certainly helped the
winners inall four games is jump-
ing out to a lead, which is what
the Wyoming Valley did Monday
night. After threatening in the
first inning and coming up short,
the team wasnt going to be kept
off the scoreboard in the top of
the second. Swoyersvilles Bob
Polachek hit a sacrifice fly, scor-
ing Tunkhannocks Wes Custer
(2-for-2, 3 runs, RBI) for a 1-0
lead. The third inning featured
small ball by the Wyoming Valley
to open a 4-0 cushion.
Wilkes-Barres Brian ODon-
nell led off the third with a walk
and stole second. He was moved
to third on a sacrifice, then
scored on a groundout by Plains
Michael Schwab for a 2-0 lead.
The next two batters, Greater
Pittstons Kody Nowicki and Cus-
ter, each walked and stole a base.
Nowicki stolesecondandthirdas
part of a four-steal performance
fromthe right fielder. Asingle by
Joe Pechulis from Swoyersville
capped the scoring in the third.
Thats the kind of ball we
wanted to play, Stark noted.
Our intention was get ahead
early and play National League
baseball so the kids could have
some confidence going forward.
We knew the losing team hasnt
scored a run in three games. So
we knew if we scored that first
run wed be well on our way to
that win.
There was more small ball in
the fifth for the WVALL as it
broke the game open with four
runs. Nowickis steal of home and
an RBI-single by Custer high-
lighted the scoring for an 8-0 ad-
vantage.
After getting in trouble in the
seventh, loading the bases with
no outs, Hazletons Ryan Gimbi
struck out the side to keep the
shutout intact.
For todays winner-take-all
game, the Wyoming Valley has
plentyof pitchers available onthe
roster and the managers werent
tippingwhothey were leaningto-
wards.

SCORELESS
PITTSBURGH Whether
there are a lot of victories in the
immediate forecast or not, foot-
ball should become fun again at
Pittsburgh. Particularly if new
coach Paul Chryst sticks around.
The Panthers opened training
campMondaywitha reneweden-
thusiasm, and thats good news
for fans hungry for some stability
during a tumultuous time. In-
deed, coaches have come and
gone from this Big East school of
late, but there is hope that Chryst
stops that trend.
So far, so good.
Everythings going great so
far, sixth-year senior offensive li-
neman Chris Jacobson said. Ev-
erybodys buying into what
Coach Chryst says and just com-
ing out here and working hard
and doing what he wants us to
do.
The Panthers under Todd
Graham, who left after one sea-
son for Arizona State went 6-7
last season, 4-3 in the Big East.
Obviously, it feels different,
the whole tempo of a newsystem
is back to howit used to be under
(former coach Dave) Wann-
stedt, Jacobson said. Were
back to pro-style football. Were
ready to hit somebody in the
mouth now.
But will it translate to a suc-
cessful season? Pitt, slated to join
the Atlantic Coast Conference in
2013, is pickedtofinishfifthinthe
mediocre Big East.
We need to come out with a
good attitude every day like we
didtoday, senior quarterbackTi-
no Sunseri said. Good attitudes
are important because good atti-
tudes rub off on everybody.
Even with some experience
back in key positions Sunseri
running the offense and all-con-
ference senior running back Ray
Graham hoping to be healthy fol-
lowing knee surgery to repair a
torn ACL Chryst knows it
could be an uphill battle to re-es-
tablish the program.
Obviously, it was good to get
them out there, but its quite a
process, said Chryst, the former
offensive coordinator at Wiscon-
sin. Thecoaches aredoinganice
job of teaching them. For the first
day, we got a lot done, but youre
not going to be able to make too
many predictions off of todays
practice.
The diminutive Graham said
his first day back was a pleasant
surprise. With his speed and
quickness, the 5-foot-9, 190-
pound Graham could form a po-
tent tandemwith much-heralded
freshman Rushel Shell, who set
Pennsylvanias career rushing re-
cord at nearby Hopewell High
last season. Sophomore Isaac
Bennett, who played as a true
freshman and was impressive in
spring drills, is also in the mix.
It was good to get out there
and actually run around, Gra-
hamsaid. This was thefirst prac-
tice and the first time that I was
with my teammates again. As the
days goon, Imgoingtoget better
and better. I felt much stronger
making the cuts than I thought I
would. For me, its moreof amind
thing. Its more of a mental thing
than a physical thing.
For the6-foot, 215-poundShell,
its an overwhelming scenario.
Some have compared him to a
young Tony Dorsett, the former
Heisman Trophy winner at Pitt
who also attended Hopewell and
is a member of the Pro Football
Hall of Fame.
Nopressure there, or anything.
Im trying my best to get it all
done so fast, Shell said. Every-
body here is a great athlete.
Those(veteran)guyshaveagreat
knowledge of the game and Im
trying to get my knowledge up to
their level. Everyday, theyre try-
ingtotell methingsthat aregoing
to make me better.
While Shell gives Pitt some-
thing for now and the future,
there are more than just a few of
those veterans who give Chryst
hope for a solid debut season.
There is three-year starter Mike
Shanahan at wide receiver, as
well as rugged defensive backs
Jarred Holley, a two-time all-con-
ference safety, and Andrew Ta-
glianetti.

The NHL and the NHL Play-
ers Association can agree
theres still more than enough
time to reach a new labor deal
eventhoughthe unionhas yet to
submit a counteroffer with less
than six weeks left before the
current collective bargaining
agreement expires.
I dont think times running
out yet, Fehr said by phone
Monday from Barcelona, where
he met with about 40 NHL play-
ers. I still thinkif the parties are
dedicated to it, theres sufficient
time to reach an agreement.
NHL deputy commissioner
Bill Daly concurred.
While time is getting short-
er, we continue to feel there is
sufficient time to reach a deal
before Sept. 15, Daly wrote in
an email to The Associated
Press.
Whats unclear is what hap-
pens after that deadline passes,
and concerns that the NHL
couldimposealockout, whichis
something Fehr doesnt favor.
Theres no law that says you
have to lock out, Fehr said.

STANDINGS/STATS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. After los-
ingthree of four tothe Indianapo-
lis Indians, the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees were poised to
turn things around quick.
They did just that with an of-
fensive explosion backed by a
strong relief outing from Chase
Whitley en route to a 9-2 victory
on Monday night at Frontier
Field.
The Yankees jumped on Roch-
ester starting pitcher Pedro Her-
nandez early with a three-run
first inning. Kevin Russo, Chris
Dickerson, and Eduardo Nunez
ledoff the game withconsecutive
singles. With one out in the in-
ning, Brandon Laird extended
the lead to 2-0 with an RBI single
to center field.
Melky Mesa completed the
Yankee scoring in the first with
an RBI single to left.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre came
right back in the top half of the
second, scoring three more runs.
With two outs in the inning, Nu-
nez crushedaground-ruledouble
over Clete Thomas head in cen-
ter field, bringing home Ramiro
Pena. Ronnier Mustelier joined
the RBI parade with a double to
right-center and then came
aroundto score onLairds second
RBI single of the night.
Rochester got two runs back in
the home half of the second in-
ning on a two-run double off the
bat of Ray Chang. However, the
two runs in the second were all
the runs the Red Wings could
push across.
The Yankees added an insur-
ance run in the third inning when
Pena scored from third on a fiel-
ders choice off of Dickersons
bat, making it 7-2.
Laird continued his big night
in the top of the eighth with a
two-run shot into the Yankees
bullpen in left field off of Red
Wings position player Matt Car-
son. Laird finished the night with
three hits and four RBI.
Carson was not the only posi-
tion player to pitch in the ball
game for the Red Wings, as for-
mer Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kee Rene Rivera tossed a score-
less ninth inning.
Chase Whitley picked up the
win in relief of Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre starter Justin Thomas.
Whitley tossed four perfect in-
nings, while striking out three
Red Wings hitters en route to the
Yankee win.
With the win, Whitley moves
to 8-5 on the season.

U.S. men clinch top seed
David McKienzie scored 17 points
and the defending champion U.S. mens
team clinched a top tournament seed
with a win over Tunisia.
Sean Rooney added 12 points in the
25-15, 25-19, 25-19 win, which set up a
quarterfinal against Italy on Wednes-
day.
The United States was coming off a
five-set loss to Russia, which ended an
11-match winning streak in Olympic
play, dating to the Americans unde-
feated march to the gold medal at the
Beijing Games.
CYCLING
British take sprint gold
Jason Kenny won the sprint for Bri-
tains fifth gold medal out of a possible
seven in track cycling.
Kenny earned his first win against
three-time world champion Gregory
Bauge of France. The 24-year-old from
Bolton, outside Manchester, made
good on the British teams decision to
enter him in the event instead of de-
fending champion Chris Hoy.
Bauge failed in his bid to become the
first Frenchman to win the Olympic
sprint title in 40 years.
Shane Perkins of Australia claimed
the bronze medal.
WRESTLING
Cuban repeats as champion
LONDON After a redemptive win
over his Turkish rival in the semifinals,
Cubas Mijain Lopez said that he didnt
think anyone else could touch him.
Lopez wasnt really bragging. No-
body was getting in the way of Lopezs
second straight Olympic gold medal.
He took down Heiki Nabi of Estonia
2-0, 1-0, to win gold in Greco-Roman at
120 kilograms Monday night.
Lopez is the third wrestler to win
multiple golds at 120 kilograms, joining
Russian legend Alexandre Karelin and
Alexander Koltschinkski of the former
Soviet Union.
Asked if hed be back for the Rio
Games in 2016, Lopez was noncommit-
tal. But Mondays performance solidi-
fied Lopezs place as one of the great
Greco-Roman heavyweights of all time.
I mean I am 30 already. I have three
Olympics behind me. It is going to be a
little bit more difficult, but life goes
on, Lopez said.
Also Monday, Omid Noroozi of Iran
won the gold medal in 60-kilogram
Greco-Roman, while Alan Khugaev of
Russia took the gold in mens 84-kilo-
gram Greco-Roman.
But the most highly anticipated
match of the day was between Lopez
and Riza Kayaalp of Turkey in the
semifinals.
BEACH VOLLEYBALL
Latvia knocks U.S. men out
LONDON Americans Jake Gibb
and Sean Rosenthal were knocked out
of the Olympic beach volleyball tourna-
ment on Monday night by Latvia.
The Americans won the first set
21-19, then dropped two straight to
Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins,
21-18, 15-11. The other American mens
team, Beijing gold medalists Todd
Rogers and Phil Dalhausser, had al-
ready been eliminated.
Latvia will meet the reigning world
champion Brazilian team of Emanuel
and Alison, which escaped a set point
in the third to beat Poland 21-17, 16-21,
17-15.
The reigning world champions
trailed Mariusz Prudel and Grzegorz
Fijalek 14-13 in the third. The Brazi-
lians had one match point of their own
before Alison spiked it to the sand,
then ran off the court celebrating be-
fore returning to give his partner a bear
hug and a kiss on the cheek.
The No. 2 Brazilian team of Ricardo
and Pedro Cunha lost to Germany later
Monday. Ricardo is the only three-time
medalist in Olympic beach volleyball
history, winning silver in Sydney, gold
in Athens and bronze in Beijing the
latter two with Emanuel as his partner.
In the remaining quarterfinal, Rein-
der Nummerdor and Rich Schuil of the
Netherlands were scheduled to meet
Italys Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo.

LONDONFor the first time before
a big meet, Jenn Suhr heard a positive
message from her husband, Rick, whos
also her coach.
While sending Jenn onto the field for
the Olympic pole vault final Monday
night, Ricktoldhernobodysunbeatable
not even Russian superstar Yelena
Isinbayeva, the two-time champion and
world-record holder.
Andso, Suhr went out andprovedhim
right, defeating Isinbayeva, capturing
the gold and giving a nice boost to the
United States track and field team,
which hasnt been getting many breaks
so far at the London Olympics.
Before I went out here, he said,
Youre going to win this, Suhr said.
Ive competed 100 times and thats not
something he says. It puts that extra
spunkthat I coulddothis. Someoneelse
believes in me that much.
Whenit was over, Suhr rushedover to
the stands to see her husband, who gin-
gerly wrapped an
American flag
around her shoul-
ders while she
sobbed into his
chest.
A quite different
scene from four
years ago in Beijing, when Rick was
caught on camera berating Suhr after
her disappointing runner-up finish to
Isinbayeva. Few knew at the time that
they were romantically involved and
would be married two years later.
Yes, theyvecomealongwaytogether.
Fromtraininginapairof Quonsethuts
that Rick connected together to form a
jumping pit the blue-collar practice
area in western New York they call
Rockys Meat Cooler to winning an
Olympic gold medal on the sports gran-
dest stage.
Suhr vaulted 15 feet, 7 inches (4.75
meters) to defeat Cubas Yarisley Silva,
who cleared the same height but lost on
a tiebreaker because she had one more
miss in the competition.
More significantly, Suhr beat Isin-
bayeva, who failed to become the first
womantowinthe same individual track
and field event at three consecutive
Olympics. Isinbayeva settled for bronze
with a vault of 15-5 (4.70).
Like so many in their pole vaulting
world, the Suhrs have long considered
Isinbayeva the gold standard. After his
wife finally beat the Russian, Rick com-
paredJenntowrestlerRulonGardner
who beat the undefeated Alexander Ka-
relin in 2000 and himself to Herb
Brooks, who coached the 1980 Olympic
hockeyteamtoitsshockingwinoverthe

ple realize how big it actually is, Rick
Suhr said.

LONDONThe widowof an Israe-
li athlete slain during the1972 Munich
Olympics denounced the IOCduring a
memorial Monday to honor the dead,
shouting Shame onyou! for failing to
offer a moment of silence during the
opening ceremony for the London
Games.
Ankie Spitzer took the podium dur-
ing the service for the 11 athletes and
officials killed in a terrorist attack and
pointedly directed her remarks to In-
ternational Olympic Committee head
Jacques Rogge, who had spoken mo-
ments earlier and was present in the
room, together with London organiz-
ing committee chairman Sebastian
Coe.
Shame on you IOC, because you
have forgotten 11 members of the
Olympic family, she said in a voice la-
den with passion.
Saying the IOC was discriminating
against the Israelis because of their
Jewish faith, Spitzer insisted the dead
deserved to be honored as Olympians
in an Olympic context and not in the
various places where memorials have
beenheld, includingMondays event at
Londons Guildhall.
You owe it to them, she declared.
The remarks punctuated an other-
wise solemn event attended by several
members of the British leadership and
senior members of the countrys Jew-
ish community.
Rogge earlier had recalled being an
Olympian in 1972, when he competed
in sailing. He said he would never for-
get the tragic events of that year, and
that there is no justification for terror-
ism.
Even after 40 years, it is painful to
relive the most painful moments of the
Olympic movement, he said. I can
onlyimagine howpainful it must be for
the families and close personal friends
of the victims.
The proposal for a moment of si-
lence has beencontroversial, withfam-
ily members saying Olympic officials
have made excuses for 40 years as to
why it should not be held. The IOChas
argued that the opening ceremony
isnt an appropriate forum for a mo-
ment of silence.
But Spitzer, the widow of fencing
coach Andrei Spitzer, pointed out that
this years ceremony included not one
but two moments of silence and de-
manded to know why it was appropri-
ate to offer thoughts in memory of oth-
ers but not the slain Israelis, who were,
after all, Olympians.
Is the IOC only interested in power
and money and politics? Spitzer
asked. Did they forget that they are
supposed to promote peace, brother-
hood and fair play?
The remarks won Spitzer a standing
ovation, and prompted whoops of ap-
proval.
The Munich Olympics were meant
toright anhistorical wrong. Theywere
the first held in Germany since the
1936 Berlin Olympics, which were
tainted by images of Nazism. But the
Black September Palestinian militant
group penetrated the laxly secured
athletes village and took Israeli team
members hostage. Eleven died at the
village or in a botched rescue attempt.

LONDON Its single elim-
ination now, so that means its
Diana Taurasi, Tamika Catch-
ings and Sue Bird time.
The U.S. women will turn to
the veteran leadership of the
three-time Olympians when they
meet Canada in the first game of
the win-or-go-home quarterfinals
on Tuesday.
The trio
have been
part of the
teams dom-
inant run
over the last
16 years,
helping the
Americans
win the last
two gold
medals. Now
theyll try to
get them
back to the semifinals for the
seventh straight Olympics.
With our experience we un-
derstand whats ahead of us,
whats at stake, what you have to
do, how you have to play, we can
lead by example that way, Bird
said.
Gold is the only color the
Americans have known at the
last four Olympic games. Teresa
Edwards and Katrina McClain
got the run started in1996 before
passing the leadership to Dawn
Staley and Lisa Leslie.
Now Taurasi, Catchings and
Bird are the leaders each hav-
ing their own style.
Sues subtle and effective,
Dianas very sledge hammer and
very effective and Tamika just
plays, doesnt say much, doesnt
draw a lot of attention. She just
plays, U.S. coach Geno Auriem-
ma said. I said to Dee this morn-
ing, we looked really good when
you knock down five shots in the
first quarter. Everyone else lets
out a sigh of relief. Having those
vets step up, thats huge.
If we get Tamika, Dee and
Sue all playing great everyone
else just fills in.
The Americans cruised
through pool play winning by an
average of 37 points. But now
the stakes are raised with the
U.S. facing elimination with a
loss.
Its one and done, Bird said.
You cant overlook that, you
cant have a bad night. I think
really, the way I took that you
have to make sure youre ready
to play. In the pool play, if we lost
wed still advance. Now you have
to come and play in every single
game.

LONDONAliyaMustafinastoodatop
the podium, proudly cradling her medal
andwatchingthe Russianflagrise.
Shedarednot evenimaginesucha scene
sixmonthsago, herleftkneeachingandthe
ruthless brilliance that had made her the
worlds best gymnast no longer within her
command. Yet she refusedtogive in, tothe
paininher body or the doubts inher mind,
and the reward now lay heavy upon her
chest.
I am very, very happy Ive won gold,
Mustafina said Monday after acing uneven
bars. Every medal represents its own
thing.
No one couldappreciate that better than
BethTweddle.
Tweddle has been at the forefront of the
transformation in British gymnastics, win-
ningeveryprizethereisexcept anOlym-
pic medal. Shed come
oh, so close four years
ago, missing the
bronze by a mere 25-
hundredths points,
andthe devastational-
most droveher intore-
tirement.
To finally win a
bronze inwhat is sure-
lythe27-year-oldslast Olympics, infront of
an adoring British crowd, was all that mat-
teredandnot the color.
I tried to say it didnt matter if I didnt
medal, but Ive got every other title to my
name, Tweddle said. I can now say I
would have been devastated walking away
with no medal. I amgoing to sleep easy to-
night.
U.S. star Gabby Douglas, meantime, left
the floor without a medal for the first time
during these games, finishing last in the
event.
Though it is her aerodynamic uneven
bars routines that earnedDouglas her Fly-
ingSquirrelnickname, amedal wasalways
a longshot. Mustafina, Tweddle and silver
medalist He Kexin have far more difficult
routines. To have a shot, Douglas would
have needed to be perfect while the others
made a slewof mistakes.
Her routine lacked its usual electricity,
andshestalledasshepirouettedonthehigh
bar. It was the briefest of hesitations, and
she quickly recovered. But she needed ev-
ery last decimal point she could get, and
that cost her a bunch. A step on her dis-
mount didnt help and, after politely smil-
ingat thejudges, shequicklywalkedoff the
podium and headed straight for the side-
lines and her gymbag. Her score of 14.900
was the lowest inthe eight-womanfield.

LONDO N 201 2 OLYMPI C GAMES
trick from Canadas Christine
Sinclair, who scored in the 22nd,
67th and 73rd minutes. In many
ways the win was reminiscent of
the landmark comeback victory
against Brazil in last years World
Cup.
Even when they scored their
third goal, there was something
in me that knew that we had
more, that we could give more,
Wambach said. I dont know
what that means, quite honestly.
I dont knowif its just confidence
until the end, but this team has a
belief in itself, even when the go-
ing gets rough.
Next comes the game the U.S.
players have been eyeing for
more than a year, a rematch with
Japan on Thursday at Wembley
Stadium with gold on the line.
The top-ranked Americans lost
to Japan on penalty kicks in the
World Cup final last summer, a
stunning blow that became a
source of motivation as the play-
ers prepared for this years Olym-
pics.
This is redemption for us,
midfielder Carli Lloyd said. We
knowhowhard it was for us after
that game. It hurt us for a really
long time.
TheU.S. teamhas playedinthe
title match in every Summer
Games since womens soccer was
introduced in Atlanta in 1996,
winning the gold in 1996, 2004
and 2008 and the silver in 2000.
The Americans advanced by
continuing its dominance of the
neighbor to the north, extending
its unbeaten streak against Cana-
da to 27 games (23-0-4). The
Americans lead the all-time se-
ries 44-3-5, the last loss comingat
the Algarve Cup in 2001.
But it wasnt easy. Sinclair was
an imposing force, scoring her
141st, 142ndand143rdgoals inin-
ternational play. Shes now even
with Wambach for No. 2 on the
all-time list, both chasing Mia
Hamms world record of 158.
Canada coach John Herdman
said before the game that the run
of futility against the Americans
was on the minds of his players,
and he addressed it with them in
the run-up to the match. He also
injected some pregame intrigue
by accusing the Americans of us-
ing highly illegal, overly phys-
ical tactics on free kicks and cor-
ner kicks.
Certainly, his team gave one of
its most spirited efforts on the
biggest stage ever for a game be-
tween the neighboring rivals,
scoring the most goals the U.S.
has allowedsince a 5-4 winby the
Americans over Australia in May
2008.
The game included a pair of
U.S. goals resulting from mo-
ments rarely seen in soccer, in-
cluding a corner kick that curled
in for a goal and a goalkeeper
whistled for holding the ball too
long. Canada coach John Herd-
manfelt the goalkeeper call was a
miscarriageof justice, andhealso
felt referee Christiana Pedersen
of Norway missed a hand ball in
the penalty area in front of the
U.S. goal.
She will have to sleep in bed
tonight after watching the re-
plays, Herdmansaid. Shes gon-
na have to live with that. We will
move on from this. I wonder if
she will be able to.
Marie-Eve Nault played a ball
ahead to Melissa Tancredi, who
tapped a pass over to Sinclair.
Sinclair then slalomed through
the penalty area, maneuvering
around defender Kelley OHara
to beat goalkeeper Hope Solo
with simple right-footer from 10
yards.
It was the first goal allowed by
the U.S. in more the 360 minutes.
RALLY
LONDON South Africa beat
the United States 7-0 on Thursday
for its first win of the Olympic wom-
ens field hockey tournament, con-
signingtheAmericans tothebottom
of their pool.
The result was a surprise for two
teams already eliminatedfromsemi-
final contention. TheAmericans had
won or lost their previous four
matches by one goal, and conceded
only six altogether.
South Africa had two more goals
disallowed. It was the worst loss by
theUnitedStates in56years, accord-
ing to topofthecircle.com. South
Africa hadnt earned a point in four losses, but
theteamsteadilyimprovedfromconcedingan
opening seven goals to Argentina to just one
against Australia.
Dallas High School product Paige Selenski
had one shot for the United States in 34 min-
utes of play.
"Were extremely disappointed with the re-
sult today," said Keli Smith Puzo, a Selins-
grove High grad. "South Africa showed up to
play and we didnt match their speed and
quickness onthe ball. At this level, youhave to
do that in order to produce a win. The best
thing we can do now is finish off on a good
note. We came in here to play one game at a
timeandthat is what wearegoingto
do.
"We are going to play this last
game as hard as we can so that we
can go out on a positive note.
TheSouthAfricans neededtowin
by six to rise above the U.S., and led
by that much by the 53rd minute.
Tarryn Bright and Pietie Coetzee
scored twice each.
South Africa enjoyed a whopping
27-6advantageinshots. It converted
four of its 10 penalty corners, while
the United States went 0-for-5.
The United States, ranked No. 10
in the world entering the Olympics,
openedthetournament with2-1loss
toNo. 3Germanyanda1-0triumphover No. 2
Argentina, setting the Americans up as medal
contenders.
One-goal losses to Australia and New Zeal-
and, ranked 6th and 7th, stalled medal talk.
No. 12 South Africa had scored just two goals
in its previous four games.
The United States (1-4), finishing last in
Group B, will play in the 11th-place game Fri-
dayat 3:30a.m. Thelast-placeteaminGroupA
is Belgium (0-3-2), which scored two goals in
its five preliminary games. The United States,
bronze medalists in Los Angeles in 1984, has
finished eighth twice -- including Beijing four
years ago -- and fifth in Atlanta in1996.

3:30 a.m.
Friday
From staff, wire reports
LeBron James added 18
points, getting the Americans
first sevenof thethirdquarter be-
fore Durant took over. Chris Paul
finished with 17.
Were great shooting team,
but in close games sometimes
youve got to go down and get
someeasyones, andI wantedthe
ball, whether it was layups or in
the post, James said. Once you
get a couple easy ones at the rim
then the 3-pointers open up and
yousawwhat KDwasabletodo.
Two nights after surviving
their first real test in a 99-94 vic-
tory over Lithuania, it seemed
the Americans might be headed
for another tight finish. Argenti-
na shot 56percent inthe first half
and the U.S. led just 60-59.
Minutes later, it was effective-
ly over.
Durants 3-pointer after James
surge gave the U.S. 10 points in
2:10 of the second half, and he
made back-to-back 3s midway
through the period to make it 85-
68. He nailed consecutive 3s
again later in the quarter, the lat-
ter from beyond the hash line, a
distance that most players would
never consider pulling up from.
I really didnt pay attention to
where the line was, Durant said.
WhenI caught that ball I was go-
ing to shoot it.
Durant, who holds the U.S.
scoring record with 38 points in
the 2010 world championship,
might have threatenedthat if not
for the lopsided score. He
checked out for good about a
minute into the fourth quarter.
Manu Ginobili scored 16
points for Argentina (3-2), which
would have won Group A via tie-
breaker if it had blown out the
U.S. Instead, it finished third and
will face Brazil in the quarterfi-
nals.
A crowd featuring former Sec-
retary of State Condoleezza Rice
and ex-heavyweight boxing
champion Evander Holyfield
was treated to an offensive show
in the first half with little more
defense than the NBA All-Star
game. A basket on one end was
answered quickly by a shot on
the other inwhat was shaping up
as a thriller between the last two
Olympic champions.
But the U.S. simply has too
muchoffense, evenif the defense
could use some tightening up.
The Americans have two days
to work on it before facing the
Australians (3-2), who pulled a
surprise earlier Monday, hand-
ing Group Bchampion Russia its
first loss, 82-80, on Patty Mills 3-
pointer as time expired.
Then again, maybe the de-
fense is fine as it is.
Durant finished 8 of 10 from3-
point range and the Americans
were 20 of 39.
James, who scored nine of his
20 points in the final four min-
utes Saturday, now has 225
points as a U.S. Olympian, pull-
ing within six of Charles Barkley
for third place on the U.S. career
list.

LONDONOverhisremarka-
ble career, Michael Phelps has
struck sponsorship deals with
Speedo, Subway, Under Armour
athletic wear, Omega watches
andProcter &Gamble.
But not everyoneat theLondon
Games canbe showeredwithcor-
porate largesse like the most dec-
oratedOlympianof all time. Most
work one, two, even seven jobs
while finding time to train to face
fully fundedpros.
Inthis battle of haves andhave-
nots at the London Games, the
have-nots include a dentist and a
disc jockey, a Buddhist monk and
a one-time brothel owner.
Irish boxer Darren ONeill quit
his job teaching at Holy Trinity
Primary School inDublinto train
full-time for the Olympics and
isnt sure hell get the job back
whenhe goes home.
Healsohadtogiveuphurling, a
rough-and-tumble native Irish
sport that combines elements of
field hockey, rugby and soccer. It
is dominant in his hometown,
hurling-madKilkenny.
I enjoyed the teaching as a re-
lease fromboxing, too, andtooka
risk in leaving, he said. It was a
tough decision, same as leaving
the hurling, but boxing gave me
more personal satisfaction.
LanceBrooks, anAmericandis-
cus thrower, worked as a bouncer
and bartender and whats known
as a barbacker restocking the
cooler andtakingout the trash
when he moved to Denver five
years ago andstartedto train.
HealsoworkedColoradoRock-
ies baseball games, coached at a
local high school, worked at an
oil-change service and did con-
struction all before his coach
told him to cut out some of the
jobs or lose his trainer.
Kai Jahnssan, a pistol shooter,
serves in Finlands Coast Guard
Air Flight Patrol as a helicopter
rescue swimmer. Another marks-
man has a job more suited to his
Olympic discipline: Italys Luca
Tesconi, whowonthe silver in10-
meter air pistol, is a police officer
inTuscany.
Nick Symmonds, a four-time
U.S. outdoor track champion in
the 800-meter, auctioned a spot
on his shoulder on eBay for
$11,100 for a temporary tattoo
with the name of the highest bid-
der.
Symmonds had to cover the
shoulder because of IOC rules
preventing athletes from hawk-
ingtheir brands duringtheOlym-
pics.
Wendy Houvenaghel is a den-
tist in Northern Ireland when
shesnot ridingforBritainintrack
cyclings team pursuit. Japanese
equestrian rider Kenki Sato has
one of the more unusual full-time
jobs: Hes a monk at his familys
Buddhist temple near Nagano,
thesiteof the1998WinterGames.
But of all the extracurricular
jobs among this crop of Olym-
pians, perhaps Logan Campbells
raised the most eyebrows. The
New Zealand taekwondo fighter
openedahigh-endbrothel in2009
in Auckland to finance his train-
ing and travel schedule ahead of
the Olympics. Prostitution is le-
gal inNewZealand.
Phelps started early, when he
signed a sponsorship deal with
Speedoin2001. Nowhe makes $5
millionto$10millionayear. After
the2008BeijingOlympics, where
Phelpswoneight goldmedals, his
agent, Peter Carlisle, predicted
Phelps would make $100 million
over his lifetime.
He likened sponsor support to

thing Ive been very fortunate to

JETS
Lynn involved in brawl
CORTLAND, N.Y. About
20 New York Jets players were
involved in a sideline brawl
during practice at training camp
after running back Joe
McKnight and safety DAnton
Lynn tangled after a play.
Lynn, son of Jets running
backs coach Anthony Lynn,
shoved McKnight out of bounds
after a screen pass Monday.
McKnight fired the football at
Lynn and the two got into it,
with McKnight charging Lynn
and throwing a punch.
Players ran over and a pileup
ensued, with players rolling
through advertisement placards
and into an area where reporters
where standing a few feet in
front of a barricade where fans
sit. Coach Rex Ryan, along with
several players, ran over to
break up the melee by pulling
players off the pile. It lasted
about a minute.
Holmes doubtful for
preseason opener
CORTLAND, N.Y. Rex
Ryan says wide receiver Santo-
nio Holmes is probably doubt-
ful for the New York Jets pre-
season opener at Cincinnati on
Friday night, but wont rule him
out against the Bengals.
Holmes, the Jets top receiver,
is not practicing Monday and
theres no immediate timetable
for his return after injuring a rib
in the teams scrimmage Sat-
urday night. Ryan said initial
indications were that Holmes
had a broken rib, but X-rays
revealed no fracture. Ryan says
he was surprised the X-rays
came back negative.
Ryan adds that Holmes is
obviously tender and said the
wide receiver told him some-
thing about cartilage, but
wasnt clear on the exact nature
of the injury.
BEARS
Receiver Davis signs
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. The
Chicago Bears signed receiver
Rashied Davis to a one-year
contract to replace the retired
Devin Thomas.
The Bears announced the
moves on Monday, while plac-
ing Thomas on the reserve/left
team list.
Davis spent his first six years
with Chicago and played for
Detroit last season. He has 92
receptions for 1,095 yards and
five touchdowns in 103 games to
go with 72 kickoff returns for
1,400 yards and 69 special teams
tackles.
Thomas was trying to make
the squad as a reserve receiver
and special teams player after
signing a one-year deal with the
Bears in March.
JAGUARS
Blackmon inks deal
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Jacksonville first-round pick
Justin Blackmon agreed to
terms Monday with the Jaguars.
The Oklahoma State wide
receiver is the last first-round
pick to reach a deal. He was
chosen fifth overall by the Jag-
uars.
The contract will be worth
about $18.5 million for four
years, which is the maximum
for a fifth pick under the NFLs
rookie wage system.
Blackmon, who missed the
first 11 days of training camp,
was arrested in Stillwater, Okla.,
on June 3 and charged with
aggravated DUI when he regis-
tered a .24 alcohol level, three

camp Monday in Cortland, N.Y.
About 20 players were involved
in a sideline brawl during a
chippy practice when McKnight
and Lynn tangled after a play.
think thats a key, we have got to
build on it.
Lee was hampered by injuries
during his rookie camp and
early in his first season, though
he played 14 games without
starting. And there was the De-
cember 2010game at Indianapo-
lis inwhichLee interceptedPey-
tonManningtwice. He returned
one for a touchdown and set up
a game-winning field goal in
overtime with the other.
When Ryan arrived, Lee
emerged as a starter and leader
on the field. Veteran linebackers
Keith Brooking and Bradie
James, both starters previously,
wound up splitting time at the
other inside linebacker spot last
season. Neither was re-signed
during the offseason.
He was ready last year, and
OXNARD, Calif. Sean Lee
already knows virtually every
detail of the Dallas Cowboys
complicated defensive scheme.
His knowledgeof thegameis
just amazing, fellowlinebacker
Victor Butler said. He picks up
stuff like that. He probably
could coach us.
When Rob Ryan sees how
teammates respond and follow
Lee, the Cowboys defensive co-
ordinator is reminded of one of
his former Super Bowl-winning
linebackers, Tedy Bruschi.
He deserves the respect. He
has earned the respect, Ryan
said of Lee. Tedy didnt have to
sayanything. Theyjust followed
him. Its the same way with
Sean.
They are talking about a guy
going into only his third NFL
season, a high-energy lineback-
er who became a starter last
year and then played the second
half of the season with a broken
left wrist protected by a bulky
cast.
Lee still ledthe Cowboys with
131 tackles, 52 more than any
other player, despite missing a
game because of his injury. He
tied for the team lead with four
interceptions. The two team-
mates with more passes defend-
ed were cornerbacks.
A hurt Sean Lee is good. Id
take him at 50 percent, Butler
said. But Sean Lee is a great as-
set tothe teamjust inleadership
qualities.
As the quarterback of the de-
fense, Lee is responsible for re-
laying the calls from Ryan, then
checking the offensive forma-
tion. Lee calls out signals and
makes sure everybody is lined
up in the right spot.
Lees intensity is evident even
during a walk-through session,
suchas onMonday whenthe de-
fense had a bad play. Lee shout-
ed something in disgust and
asked to run the play again.
When the Cowboys got to
training camp after the NFL
lockout ended last year, they
were in a cram session to learn
Ryans 3-4 defense since they
hadnt been able to have any off-
season work with their then-
new coordinator.
Now they have been with
Ryan for a year, including a full
offseason.
We were able to learn the de-
fense. Were coming into camp
witha lot moreconfidence. Now
we can really perfect the tech-
niques, instead of finally learn-
ing the defense for the first
time, Lee said. Coach Ryan al-
ways has wrinkles. Hes a guy
who loves variations. He loves
teaching different defenses, but
our defense we have a great
foundation to build off of. And I
thats why we gave him the op-
portunities that we gave him,
coach Jason Garrett said. He
knows this game inside and out,
he knows this scheme, he stud-
ies the opposing offenses. Its re-
ally, really important to him.
And his personality is infec-
tious.
Garrett said Lee has determi-
nation in everything he does, on
the fieldor whenhe is lockedin
and focused during meetings,
trying to absorb everything that
is said.
When Lee was sidelined by a
torn ACL in his right knee for
what was supposed to be his se-
nior season at Penn State in
2008, he took a medical red-
shirt. He served as basically an
undergraduate coach during
practices and on the sideline
during games that year, then
had 86 tackles in 10 games the
following season.
It speaks to his maturity,
Garrett said. So if you are a guy
in college to be coaching his
teammates, whatever role he
was in, I think it senses what the
coaching staff thought of himat
Penn State. Since day one since
hes been here, hes been off the
charts that way.
Ryansaidnobody workedhar-
der in the offseason than Lee
learning the defense, and that
the linebacker earned the keys
to that and the respect of his
teammates.
As for Ryans comparison to
Bruschi, who played for the
coach in New England, Lee was
honored even though he be-
lieves he has plenty of work to
do to reach that level.
I need to play a lot more, and
I need to make a lot more plays,
and weve got to start winning.
Weve got to win Super Bowls,
Lee said. Thats a guy who won
Super Bowls, a Hall of Fame-
type guy. ... I dont think Im
close to it yet, but Im going to
work to get to it.

BETHLEHEM Garrett
Reid was a happy-go-lucky
guy who conquered drug ad-
diction, loved being in the
weight roomand enjoyed mak-
ing players laugh.
Thats how many of the Phi-
ladelphia Eagles closest to
Reidrememberedtheir coachs
oldest son, who was found
dead Sunday morning in a
dormroomat the clubs Lehigh
University training camp. Po-
lice said the 29-year-olds death
was not suspicious, and the
cause was under investigation.
I spent plenty of time with
him, guard Evan Mathis said
Monday. He was always in the
weight room with us and was
always on the field with us. He
was a happy-go-lucky guy and
always a joy to be around, al-
ways telling jokes and having
fun. Really just brightened
your day when you were
around him.
Funeral services will be held
on Tuesday.
On Monday night, Andy
Reid, who has yet to address
the media, issued a statement
through the team.
We loved Garrett so much.
He was a wonderful son and
brother. He made us laugh, he
was a pleasure to be around, he
always had a smile on his face,
and we will miss him dearly,
Andy Reid said. We will never
forget him, and we will remem-
ber him with love.
Tuesday is a scheduled day
off from camp, so the team is
expected to join their coach at
the funeral.
I spent a lot of the offseason
hanging out with Garrett. We
were pretty close, center Ja-
son Kelce said. I want to be
there to say Goodbye to him.
The Eagles on Monday held
a regular morning walk-
through and a full afternoon
practice without Andy Reid for
the second straight day. Reid
spoke to the team Sunday be-
fore he left camp and im-
pressed upon them the impor-
tance of sticking to their daily
schedules.
Garretts road through life
was not always an easy one. He
faced tremendous personal
challenges with bravery and
spirit. As a family, we stood by
him and were inspired as he
worked to overcome those
challenges, Andy Reid said.
Even though he lost the battle
that has been ongoing for the
last eight years, we will always
remember himas a fighter who
had a huge, loving heart.
The Eagles open the presea-
son against the Steelers on
Thursday at Lincoln Financial
Field. Owner Jeffrey Lurie al-
readysaidheexpects Reid, afa-
ther of five, toreturnthis week.
For us to not take any days
off and be out here having
Coach Reid and Garrett on our
minds, its been tough, run-
ning back LeSean McCoy said.
The biggest thing is that he
wants all of us to stay together
as a team.
Were actually his extended
family, and he said its tough
right now, but we need to stay
together as a team even in his
absence. He wants us to be
here, stay together, train hard,
and try and achieve our goal.
Playing a game is something
big, but playing for himand his
family actually motivates us a
little bit more.
Garrett Reid had been stay-
ing at camp where he assisted
strength and conditioning
coach Barry Rubin in an unoffi-
cial capacity. Exercise and
training had become a passion
for Reid.
He was putting a lot of work
into it, doing a lot of research,
Kelce said. That was his goal
to be a strength and condition-
ingcoachas a headguy. He was
good at it.

ALBANY, N.Y. NewYorkGi-
ants cornerback Terrell Thomas
may not be lost for the season, af-
ter all.
After getting a third opinion,
the projectedstartingcornerback
has decided to try to rehabilitate
his injured right knee rather than
have surgery.
Thomas saw noted orthopedic
surgeon Dr. James Andrews on
Monday, and he concurred with
the advice that the five-year vet-
eran received from Dr. Arthur
Ting in California and the Giants
medical staff on howto approach
the injury.
The suggestion on the part of
the doctors is that we try to rehab
himandsee howhe does andif he
can get back on the field, coach
TomCoughlinsaidafter practice.
He is coming back to camp and
hewill jumpintoarehabprogram
and well watch him very, very
closely and well hope to acceler-
ate the strength of the knee and
see how soon he can join us, and
hope for the very best.
Coughlin said Thomas, who
led the Giants in tackles in 2009
and 2010, was en route back to
camp. He was not immediately
available for comment. The team
said he would address the media
Tuesday.
Thomas missed last season af-
ter tearing his right anterior cru-
ciate ligament in a preseason
game. He had reconstructive sur-
gery, and pushed himself to be
ready for training camp at the
University at Albany. But he ex-
perienced swelling in the knee af-
ter the teams third practice, a
week ago Sunday. There was con-
cern that his career was in jeopar-
dy after his third ACL injury. He
also hurt it at USC.

Knight Capital saved
Knight Capital Group survived a
near-death experience on Monday,
lining up Wall Street firms to lend it
badly needed cash after the brokerage
lost $440 million last week when a
malfunction in its trading system flood-
ed the market with erroneous trades.
But the rescue, which came down to
the wire, had a steep price: control of
the firm. And its still not certain that
Knight will make it through the epi-
sode intact.
Knights new investors will gain a 73
percent stake in the company and three
board seats.
Order: UK bank aided Iran
A British bank schemed with the
Iranian government to launder $250
billion from 2001 to 2007, leaving the
United States financial system vul-
nerable to terrorists, New Yorks fi-
nancial regulator charged Monday.
State Financial Services Superintend-
ent Benjamin Lawsky signed an order
that requires London-based Standard
Chartered Bank to answer his ques-
tions following an investigation into
wire stripping, the practice of remov-
ing crucial identifiers in financial trans-
actions.
The order said the bank reaped mil-
lions of dollars in fees at a time when
such trade was restricted.
Crops a little worse
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
said Monday the condition of the coun-
trys corn and soybean crops hasnt
gotten much worse in the past week
but large portions remain in poor shape
amid widespread drought.
The USDAs weekly Crop Progress
report said that half of the nations corn
is in poor condition. A week earlier 48
percent was in poor shape.
Similarly, 39 percent of the soybean
crop is in poor condition compared to
37 percent a week earlier.
Guitar maker settles
Federal prosecutors on Monday
announced a deal to drop a criminal
case against Gibson Guitar Corp. after
the instrument maker acknowledged
its importation of exotic wood violated
environmental laws.
Nashville-based Gibson agreed to
pay a $300,000 penalty, forfeit claims
to about $262,000 worth of wood
seized by federal agents and contribute
$50,000 to the National Fish and Wild-
life Foundation to promote the conser-
vation of protected tree species.

WHEN THEY READ
about the car-sized
Curiosity rovers
touch down on Mars
on Monday morning,
some people may
have wondered Why
spend money on the space program,
when the economy is in such bad
shape?
For 2013, the nations defense bud-
get is projected at $613 billion. By
comparison, the NASA budget will
weigh in at an estimated $17.7 billion.
Dont get me wrong, Im all for
defense spending. But NASA, in its
present form, doesnt cost a whole lot
of money in the grand scheme of
things.
And what do we gain from the space
program? There are a lot of intangible
benefits, but lets set those aside.
All sorts of research is conducted in
space that wouldnt be possible on
Earth and all kinds of products and
processes used to solve problems
encountered in space have secondary
applications on the ground.
Here are some examples: Satellite
TV and radio. Scratch-resistant lenses.
Firefighter respirators. Automatic
implantable defibrillators. Digital
cameras. GPS. Solar panels. Cochlear
implants. Smart fabrics. Laser eye
surgery. The list goes on.
Odds are youve used or benefited
from some of the things listed above,
even if youre not aware of it. But what
could examining dirt on Mars get us?
We can see how soil and chemicals
react in extreme conditions. We can
learn a thing or two about geology on
Earth. We might find new chemical
applications.
And we might possibly discover that
there was once life on Mars. It might
not be likely, but if answering one of
the fundamental questions of exist-
ence is a possible side-benefit of a
mission, I say lets spend the money.
NASA is operating on a virtual shoe-
string, particularly given that its man-
date is literally rocket science. Fortu-
nately, private corporations are begin-
ning to pick up the torch as far as
commercial and even manned mis-
sions are concerned, so NASA can
divert more of its budget to pure sci-
ence.
When I was younger, I was fortunate
to see two space shuttle launches in
person. The night launch was by far
the most spectacular thing Ive ever
seen. The sky lit up. The ground
shook. Then the roar of the rockets
reached us. And people who were
more or less just like me were riding
into space.
If this country doesnt invest in
space technologies, someone else will.
And theyll be the ones to reap the
benefits, not us. Investing in the future
has not always been one of our strong
points, and that may be why the econ-
omy is in the shape that its in today.

EW YORK Best Buys co-
founder is looking to make a
buy of his own, offering to take
the electronics seller private only
months after leaving as the companys
chairman.
Best Buy said it would consider the
offer but called it highly condition-
al. And analysts are skeptical that for-
mer Chairman Richard Schulzes
opening offer of $24 to $26 per share
would get a deal done and that it could
be tricky to line up investment firms
to help pay for it.
Its the latest twist in the Minneapo-
lis companys struggles to stay rele-
vant as more people buy electronics
online.
Best Buy is trying to avoid the fate
of its rival Circuit City, which went
bankrupt in 2009, partly because of
changing shopper habits.
The offer of 36 percent to 47 percent
premium over the companys Friday
closing stock price values the compa-
ny at as much as $8.84 billion. Schulze
already has 20.1percent of the stock in
the company, so paying for the rest of
shares would mean coming up with
about $6.9 billion.
Schulze resigned as chairman in
May, after a company investigation
found that he knew about an inappro-
priate relationship between fired CEO
Brian Dunn and a female employee
and failed to alert the board or human
resources.
Schulze was CEO for more than 30
years.
Shares rose $2.35, $19.99, indicat-
ing shareholders are skeptical. Analy-
sts also expressed doubt the deal
would happen quickly.

Richard Schulze, seen in 2001, said Monday that he wants to take the electronics retailer Best Buy private by buying
up all of its shares he doesnt already own in a deal that values the company at as much as $8.84 billion.
Lets make a deal?

$26 per share offer to buy the

Four area companies will receive
financial assistance from Ben Fran-
klin Technology Partners of North-
eastern Pennsylvania, a state-funded
economic development organization
with a mission to help create or re-
tain jobs through the use of technol-
ogy.
By and large our early-stage com-
panies are not really of interest to
banks, said Laura Eppler, director of
marketing for the agency.
Two types of awards were an-
nounced Monday. Early-stage com-
panies, which Eppler said are nearly
all technology firms, receive loans.
Among the recipients was OPTiMO
Information Technology LLC, head-
quarteredinBloomsburgandwithan
office in Wilkes-Barre. The company
received a $25,000 loan to help devel-
op and market its digital forensics
products and services.
Three established firms received1-
to-1 matching grants for projects
with a college or university partner:
Crispin Valve, Berwick, with
Bloomsburg University, $18,302 to
assist in implementing software to
improve production efficiency.
Longos Bakery Inc., Hazleton,
with Lehigh Universitys Enterprise
Systems Center, $25,000 to imple-
ment software to enhance manufac-
turing control andboost profitability.
Medico Industries Inc., Wilkes-
Barre, Northampton Community
Colleges Emerging Technology Ap-
plications Center, $26,500 to im-
prove productivity, reduce waste and
identify potential energy savings.

There's a sense
of fall in the air
outside this
morning under a
blanket of fresh
Canadian air. In
fact, this is one
of our coolest
mornings since
the end of June.
The average
morning low now
has just dropped
to 61 and by the
end of the
month, it'll be
down to 57 or
about what it
was this morn-
ing. Wispy thin
clouds will adorn
the sky today
with enough sun
for a very warm
afternoon.
Expect a notice-
able rise in
humidity
Wednesday with
showers possible
heading into
Thursday. More
rain could arrive
Friday. During
this week in
August last year,
I measured 3.5
inches of rain. By
the end of the
month, the total
was 12 inches.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal boundary will produce numerous showers and thunderstorms across
the Southeast and portions of the Mid-Atlantic today. Some of these storms could produce gusty
winds and locally heavy rainfall. Another storm system will bring scattered showers and thunder-
storms to parts of the northern Plains and the Great Lakes.

Q: With all the recent
attention paid to
athletes over illegal
steroid drug use, Ive
been wondering what
harm these drugs
actually do. Can you
explain?
M.S., Philadelphia
A: There are a number of perform-
ance-enhancing drugs with differing
effects and safety concerns, some of
which Ill describe briefly:
The most common performance-
enhancing drugs are the derivatives of
testosterone like androstenediol,
DHEA, hCG (the same hormone used
to detect pregnancy), THG, oxandro-
lone and stanozolol. They are well-
known to increase muscle bulk and
strength. Side effects include choles-
terol elevation (increases risk of heart
disease); elevation of
blood sugar sufficient
to cause prediabetes
or frank diabetes;
testicular atrophy and
impotence; mania,
aggression and emo-
tional lability; and a
marked increased risk
of tendon rupture.
Stimulants are used
by some athletes to
increase energy and
help with weight loss.
Side effects include
high blood pressure;
stroke; life-threat-
ening heart rhythm
disturbances; heart
attack; and seizures.
Ephedra is now banned by the FDA.
Drugs that stimulate red blood cell
production can increase oxygen-carry-
ing capacity and greatly aid endurance
athletes like long-distance runners,
cyclists, skiers, soccer and basketball
players. Health risks might include an
increased risk of clots and heart failure.
Insulin injections have been used by
weight lifters to block the breakdown
of muscle cells. Even though theyll
typically drink sugared drinks after
injection, severe low blood sugars re-
sulting in seizures can still occur.
Creatinine powder is widely used to
increase strength and endurance. Stud-
ies have shown that creatines effect is
to cause muscles to bulk up due to
water retention with only a modest
improvement in muscle strength. Cre-
atine is not a banned substance, but
might be laced with something that is
illegal.
Some may argue that performance-
enhancing drugs result in athletes
playing at a better level and create
better entertainment for the fans. I
disagree. They put the athlete in
harms way and detract from the pure-
ness of the sport.

Some people say if
cheese gets mold on
it you should throw it
all away. Is that true?
According to the
United States De-
partment of Agricul-
ture Food Safety
Inspection Service,
cheeses that are high in
moisture content can har-
bor mold below the surface of the
food. So its best to discard soft
cheeses that show any signs of
mold. This includes cream cheese,
cottage cheese, Neufchatel and
any crumbled, shredded or sliced
cheese.
Hard and semi-soft cheeses
like Cheddar, Colby and Swiss are
not easy for mold to penetrate,
say food safety experts. So it is OK
to cut away the moldy part and
safely eat the rest of the cheese.
Make sure to cut off at least one
inch around and below the moldy
spot, however. And keep the knife
away from the mold so it does not
contaminate other parts of the
cheese.
Some molds are harmless such
as the white moldy rind of Brie
and Camembert cheeses. And
molds used to make cheeses like
Roquefort, blue, Gorgonzola, and
Stilton are safe to eat as well.
Mold that is not part of the
manufacturing process is a prob-
lem, however. If youre not sure
O N N U T R I T I O N Questions about mold
about mold on any food, advises
the FSIS, toss it.
Moldy bread should be tossed,
says the FSIS. Bread is a porous
food so mold can easily grow
beneath the surface of what you
see. And it can spread quickly.
After you toss moldy bread, clean
the area where it was stored to
keep mold from spreading to new
loaves.
Foods processed without pre-
servatives are more apt to mold
quicker.
Keep mold under control with
a few housecleaning rules:
Clean the inside of your refrig-
erator every few months with a
tablespoon of vinegar dissolved in
a quart of water. And use a bit of
bleach in water to scrub away any
signs of black mold that can grow
along door seals.
Musty-smelling towels and
sponges means mold is growing. If
you cant clean them, throw them
away.

EWPORT NEWS, Va. - She
has changed the way we think
about pain.
Hospice practitioners, physicians,
compounding pharmacists, nurses
and medical students all attest to the
influence of Maureen Carling in their
approach to pain management.
An English-born nurse and hospice
worker, Carling, 73, worked at River-
side Regional Medical Center in New-
port News, Va., in the 1990s before
retiring in Williamsburg, Va. In re-
tirement she developed the Carling
Pain Assessment Algorithm, devel-
oped tapes and CDs and conducted
workshops around the country on
pain management.
This year, the Virginia Association
for Hospices & Palliative Care recog-
nized her work with a Lifetime
Achievement Award.
While at Riverside, her supervisors
noted that Carlings patients lived
longer because she managed their
pain better. As a newcomer and a
nurse, Carling was reluctant to tell
physicians how to do their jobs, but
she soon became in demand for her
skill in assessing pain and her ability
to ease it through the use of targeted
drugs administered topically.
This is not nuclear physics. Its ap-
plied pharmacology and good nurs-
ing, Carling says, in a phone inter-
viewfromHouston, where she is stay-
ing with her daughter Debbie. In Oc-
tober 2011, the midwife/home health
visitor/registered nurse received a
devastating diagnosis of advanced
pancreatic cancer. Her ensuing treat-
ment has put on hold her collabora-
tive work in a pending clinical trial
through the Pain Management Edu-
cation and Research Foundation.
On a scale of one to 10 (unbeara-
ble), how do you rate your pain?
Thats the question every medical
practitioner traditionally asks. Car-
ling explodes over the phone, It
doesnt assess pain. Do you find it
helpful? No. All you are asking is how
bad is it?
She learned early in her career from
an English doctor that most patients

suffer from more than one type
of pain and almost one-third
from as many as four.
In order to zone in on her pa-
tients suffering, Carling broke
pain into eight types: bone, mus-
cle, pleuritic, soft tissue, neuro-
pathic, etc. To that she added
questions about duration was
it continuous, variable or inter-
mittent. As an example, visceral
pain just aches all the time, she
says, while pleuritic is worse
with breathing and bone pain
with movement. She asked her
patients to describe their pain.
Was it burning, shooting or stab-
bing. She asked them which
drugs relieved their pain, to
what extent and for how long.
She came with a whole new
look for pain management. It
opened up a new area for us,
says her former supervisor Shar-
ron Nichols, nurse manager for
Riverside Hospice. She brought
a different way to look at pain.
She introduced more of a spiritu-
al, personal element. She cred-
its Carling with improving ter-
minal patients quality of life,
which in turn led them to live
longer.
Impressed by the skill of Car-
lings pain assessment, Brenda
Clarkson, a fellowUKnative and
executive director of the Virginia
Hospice Association, hired her
to teach nurses at the hospice
she ran in the Richmond area.
Shes one of lifes rare people,
shes really made a difference,
says Clarkson.
An avid talker, Carling found
that other professionals were
starting to listen to her. Aprofes-
sor at the University of Virginia
in Charlottesville and Virginia
Commonwealth University in
Richmond asked her to publish
her findings. She started getting
letters from doctors all over the
country.
Theres no one more aston-
ished than me, she says.
Abbot Laboratories in Illinois
asked her to write more exten-
sively. She joined a national
speakers bureau. She instructed
the military at Fort Eustis and
then at Fort Carson in Colorado,
where she was awarded the
Commanders Coin for Excel-
lence.
She developed audiotapes,
CDs and a workbook to pass on
her findings and her assessment
methods. She committed her al-
gorithm, the Carling Pain As-
sessment Algorithm, to a single
laminated card that nurses could
carry bedside. She developed a
body map for patients to pin-
point their pain along with its
description and appropriate
treatment.
Opiates and narcotics dont
relieve all pain, she says. They
relieve it in soft tissue, but bone
pain isnt responsive.
Pain is what the patient says
it is.
Some may dismiss a patients
pain as psychosomatic, others as
a drug-seeking ploy. When
youre in pain, you can do with-
out that, says Carling with in-
dignation. She emphasizes how
documenting every detail
helped her to gain buy-in from
other medics.
I never stop marveling at her
clinical evaluation skills, says
compounding pharmacist David
Creecy, owner of the Poquoson
Pharmacy and current president
of the Virginia Pharmacists As-
sociation. She has a very good
bedside manner and a very effec-
tive interviewtechnique. She lis-
tens to her patients. She re-
taught me to listen. The chal-
lenge is that it may take anhour.
By targeting the specific pain,
Carling found that lower-dose
drugs often worked better than
more powerful medications and
with fewer side effects. Medical
professionals are trained to treat
the diagnosis, but chronic pain is
completely different. The brain
continues to send out pain sig-
nals even after wounds are
healed. It creates changes in the
nervous system, says Carling.
She revels in seeing the light go
on when doctors and nurses get
an answer to something they
didnt understand.
When I first heard Maureen
speak, she completely turned
my understanding of pain man-
agement upside down. She is
spellbinding, says Creecy, not-
ingthat medical professionals all
have studiedpaininthe abstract,
but her approach is revolution-
ary. The number of people she
has helped cant be counted.

uals. It finds that connected-
ness among the brains dis-
parate regions is a key factor
that separates the plodding
from the penetrating.
As many researchers have
long suspected, intelligence
does have a seat
in the human
brain: an area just
behind each of the
temples called the
lateral prefrontal
cortex. But re-
searchers writing
in the journal Neu-
roscience found
that human behav-
ior that is excep-
tionally flexible,
responsive and ca-
pable of naviga-
ting complexity
requires some-
thing beyond a
strong and active
prefrontal cortex:
strong and agile
runners must link
that seat to brain
regions involved
in perception,
memory, language
and mobility.
The researchers
estimate that the
strength of those connections,
as measured when subjects
rested between mental tasks,
explains about 10 percent of
differences in intelligence
among individuals. That
makes this measure an even
better predictor of intelli-
gence than brain size a mea-
sure that scientists believe
may explain about 7 percent of
the variation in intelligence
among individuals.
To detect this relationship,
the Neuroscience study com-
pared functional magnetic res-
onance imaging (fMRI) brain
scans of 78 men and women
between 18 and 40 years old
with those subjects perform-
ance on tests of cognitive per-
formance that required fluid
intelligence and cognitive
control. Subjects, for in-
stance, were asked to count
backwards by, say, nine, or to
watch a series of visual images
and then indicate whether a
single image shown had been
among them.
The resulting picture of in-
telligence is a remarkably sim-
ple one: from a single hub in
the prefrontal lobes radiates a
plethora of bright-
ly lit connections
to all corners of the
brain. This sug-
gests that when we
engage in goal-di-
rected behavior
that requires judg-
ment, sustained at-
tention and flexi-
bility, the two
sides of the pre-
frontal lobe coordi-
nate incoming in-
formation, send
out commands and
keep us on task,
said the studys
lead author, Mi-
chael W. Cole of
Washington Uni-
versitys cognitive
neuroscience de-
partment.
To do all that
well, it needs to
maintain connec-
tions throughout
the brain that have
speed and high capacity.
The latest study under-
scores a growing appreciation
among neuroscientists for the
importance of the brains
white matter fat-covered
clusters of axons that string
neurons and the brains two
hemispheres together in
brain function. Our volume of
gray matter is popularly spo-
ken of as a measure of intelli-
gence. But research increas-
ingly shows that when the
white matter that ties the
gray stuff together is damaged
or deficient as it can be in
patients with brain trauma,
autism and schizophrenia
goal-directed task perform-
ance can be very poor.

and parade. In recognition for its contributions to Funfest, the
Visitors Bureau is named a Silver Sponsor for the event. To obtain
brochures for distribution, or for more information about Funfest,

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am one
of nine employees
who work in a jew-
elry store owned by
Tom and Carol,
a husband and wife.
Tom is having an
affair with Angie,
our bookkeeper. I know, because I
have heard him talk about it to my
co-workers. Carol is suspicious and
has approached each of us to ask if
anything is going on between them.
So far we have covered for them.
Abby, we are getting tired of cover-
ing for our boss. It creates tension to
lie to Carol, and personally, I feel a lot
of guilt over this.
Some of us have suggested to
Angie that she quit, but she has no
intention of doing so.
Should we tell Carol what we know,
tell Angies husband, or just keep our
mouths shut and continue working in
these uncomfortable circumstances?
Uneasy in New York
Dear Uneasy: I dont blame you for
feeling uneasy. You have been placed
squarely in the middle. It is unfair for
your boss to expect you to lie for him,
and equally unfair that his wife is ask-
ing you to be her stool pigeon.
Carol probably knows whats what.
She shouldnt be putting her employ-
ees on the spot to obtain proof that
Toms fooling around. If she questions
you again, simply say, Sorry, I have
nothing to say. I assure you, shell
get the message.
Dear Abby: What do you do with
someone who has no manners? A
relative of my husbands has been
dating a woman for more than a year.
They are both in their 30s, and theres
a strong possibility they will marry.
Whenever a group of us get togeth-
er to go out for dinner, on vacation or
anywhere, she puts a damper on the
entire event. She wont converse (and
its not because shes shy), she never
smiles, she just sits with her arms
crossed and is absolutely miserable.
She has been to our home for din-
ner on a couple of occasions. After-
ward she gets up from the table and
never, ever, says please or thank you.
Shes the most immature, self-cen-
tered, unpleasant human being I have
ever met. Even our children comment
on her rudeness in addition to the
group of people we go out with. She
is even rude to my mother-in-law, but
her boyfriend just doesnt see it.
They say that love is blind but
THAT blind? It has reached the point
that we dont want to associate with
this couple. Would I be out of line to
say something to her about her lack
of manners, and if so what do you
suggest I say?
Fuming in Delaware
Dear Fuming: From your description
of this unhappy young womans body
language, it is obvious that shes des-
perately uncomfortable in social situ-
ations with you and the group. It is
possible that she suffers from a social
phobia of some sort.
Rather than confront her about her
bad manners, make a date to see
her alone. Then, in the kindest way
possible, try to get her to open up
about whats bothering her.
If that doesnt work, then talk to
your husbands relative about your
concerns. His girlfriend may suffer
from problems that could be helped
with counseling or medication.
As a last resort, curtail your invita-
tions to them.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Store owners drag their entire staff into uncomfortable office affair
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). The
requirements made of you may
not seem all that appealing at
first, but if you find a way to
make them interesting, you
evolve.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There
are no insignificant mysteries of
life, so delve into the area that
interests you. The answer to
some small problem could be the
miraculous cure for what ails the
world.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll be
involved in a complex activity
that stretches your skills, helps
you grow and fulfills your poten-
tial. Youll invest many hours to
excel at this endeavor.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). No
life is without sorrow, but youll
feel comforted in the knowledge
that sorrow wont stick to you; it
will pass. Knowing this, you are
willing to risk more.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). True power
is the ability to empower others.
There are those who will benefit
big time from learning what
youve known for so long. Youll
hone your leadership skills.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Someone erroneously told you,
To get the fruit, you have to
climb the tree or something
akin to that. The truth is that
sometimes the fruit hangs low,
and all you have to do is reach
up and pluck it off.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Keeping
up with people is harder than
it should be. You have so many
ways to stay in touch, and yet
your responsibilities and distrac-
tions make it challenging to find
the time. But try. Youll be glad
you did.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
wont progress without accept-
ing a risk. This comes as no
surprise, as youve taken similar
risks in the past and done quite
well indeed. Now you thrill to the
challenge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Loved ones are not always as
thoughtful as you might like, and
yet you find a way to forgive.
Also, youll provide an oppor-
tunity for them to make up for
their mistakes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll put a positive spin on
things. Its not really optimism;
its practicality. Seeing the best
takes just as much energy, but
makes you and everyone else
feel better in the process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
A case of the super-strong
humans will dictate your morn-
ing action. Your impulses are
powerful, and your motives are
so deeply rooted that you may
not even be consciously aware
of them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Its only
human nature to be suspicious
of or even repelled by weak
attempts at action. But bold-
ness attracts support. Youll be
inspired by a courageous move.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7).
Youll love the companionship
this month, and new friends send
you in adventurous directions.
You will find many opportunities
for advancement in September
as you apply your enterpris-
ing nature. Avoid extremes in
November. Family unity is fea-
tured in 2013. Your lucky num-
bers are: 17, 4, 39, 20 and 14.
