Less than 24 hours after a coroners inquest found a woman responsible for the shooting death of her boyfriend in September 2011, state police led a homicide charge against her. Jessica Alinsky, 29, of Shenandoah, was charged with an open count of homicide and tampering with evidence after a six-member jury on Tuesday found she was responsible for Matthew Gailies death after a two-day inquest. The inquest is a rare proceeding in which a jury determines the man-

ner of death of someone who has died and who, if anyone, is responsible for the death. Gailie, 34, died of a single gunshot wound to the face inside his home on Muskegan Circle in Eagle Rock a gated resort community in Hazle Township. Alinsky told investigators she was in their home on the second oor when she heard a pop and went downstairs to nd Gailie on the oor. (Tuesdays verdict) was wonderful, District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Wednesday. We were expecting it, but you never know what can come from a jury.

Harveys Lake authority officials face theft charges

According to state police at Wyoming, General Municipal Authority of Harveys Lake Executive Director Richard Boice, 66, son Jason Boice, 38, a foreman, and authority secretary Denise Sult, 61, made the illicit purchases in 2007 and 2008.

Casey gains bipartisan backing for Jobs Corps oversight

DAILY NUMBER - 7-1-2 BIG 4 - 0-8-2-0 QUINTO - 9-6-5-9-0 TREASURE HUNT

To guard against a re-occurrence of an enrollment freeze for students seeking training at Job Corps centers, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey received bipartisan support for legislation to ensure the federal agency overseeing the program adheres to reforms outlined in an audit. Casey, D-Scranton, was joined in an amendment by Sens. Orin Hatch, R-Utah, and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, that passed the Senate

Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Caseys ofce said Wednesday in a press release. The amendment aims to prevent future shortfalls like the one that led to a three-month freeze preventing students from attending the centers such as the one in Butler Township. The freeze caused by a projected $61.5 million budgetary shortfall for the 2012 program year was lifted in April, but by then Casey had called for an investigation by the Ofce of Inspector General and held a

hearing in the Senate on the matter. The OIG review determined the Ofce of Job Corps was unable to show it developed a sound budget and spending plan and did not routinely monitor budgeted costs to actual costs that led to the shortfall for the program year 2011 and the rst ve months of program year 2012. The mismanagement in Job Corps severely impacted an important program that helps at risk young people gain the skills they need to get jobs,

Casey said in a prepared statement. Passing this bipartisan amendment will provide a measure of Casey accountability for what occurred and take steps toward ensuring this never happens again. The amendment requires the OIG to report by Dec. 1 on administrative changes at the Job Corps. It also requires that for the next ve years the

Department of Labor submit reports on the implementation of nancial oversight measures recommended by the OIG; description of and the reasons for budgets shortfalls; descriptions and explanations for expenditures in excess of the contracted amount. The reports are to be submitted every six months for the rst three years, and annually in the following years. In the event of a budget shortfall during the remaining year, the reports must be submitted every six months.

PITTSTON City Council awarded a bid Wednesday night to repair the lighting system at Riverfront Park that was damaged by ooding in 2011. Wyoming Electric & Signal of Wyoming won the contract with a bid of $62,500. Only one other bid was received. Richard Mellow Corp. of Dickson City bid $79,775. On Sept. 8, 2011, in the wake of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, the Susquehanna River crested at 44.6 feet and the Pittstons Riverfront Park was completely under water. All the lighting xtures were damaged. The repair project includes the relocation and replacement of electrical power panel supply, the replacement of six ballasts and six lamps and replacing all conduit and wires between junction boxes and 11 light poles. City Administrator Joe Moskovitz said the electrical boxes need to be relocated to higher ground in case of another ood. He said the city will be reimbursed with Federal Emergency Management Agency funds. Councilman Danny Argo, who lives across from the park in the Oregon Section of the city, said he would like to see police patrols stepped up in that area. He said he often hears screaming and people smashing bottles at all hours of the night. If were going to spend this

money, I think we should have police patrols down there, Argo said. For the safety of the people that want to take a walk down there. Mayor Jason Klush said he would request police look into the issue. In other business: Council awarded a bid to A.R. Popple of Wilkes-Barre to repair inlets and manholes on Kennedy Boulevard and William Street. Popple was the low bidder at $80,950. Three other bids were received: Multiscape of Pittston at $87,973; Stell Enterprises of Plains Township with $101,297; and T. Brennan Equipment of Carbondale at $125,005. Moskovitz said PennDOT has plans to pave Williams Street, from the Pittston Bypass to Kennedy Boulevard, which will also be paved. The work will include the replacement of various inlets and manholes located on Kennedy Boulevard and William Street in preparation of the PennDOT paving project. Moskovitz said the inlets are in disrepair and need to be replaced. Now is the time, he said, ahead of the paving project. Council transferred funds from one 2012 state community development block grant project, the 107 South Main Street renovation project, to the Tomato Lot lighting project, which encountered unforeseen utility issues that requires some poles to be relocated.

A fire reported around 3:35 p.m. Wednesday damaged a vacant house at 46 Harkins Lane, Wilkes-Barre, behind Dodson Elementary School. Fire Chief Jay Delaney said there were heavy flames and smoke on the second floor of the house when firefighters arrived. It was brought under control around 4:10 p.m. Firefighters prevented the flames from spreading to adjacent houses; one just a few away and the other separated by a driveway. No doubt it was very tense here, Delaney said. The city fire inspector was on the scene to look for a cause. A man who was visiting in the neighborhood and did not want to give his name said he saw smoke and called 911. Its supposed to be empty, but people come and go in this place, he said. Two state constables were on scene with a warrant to serve on a person who had lived at the address.

Station
From page 1A ensure its under good stewardship for the future. Interim Authority Director Andrew Reilly said the decision will be up to the authority board, which meets Aug. 20. Prior county administrations had planned to allocate $2 million in community development funding to outt the structure for a tourism bureau, senior center and possibly other county-related ofces, but county Manager Robert Lawton canceled the allocation in May 2012, saying he would have a difcult time getting business loan funds for a project that wont create jobs. County involvement The county already had given the authority $6.1 million to buy the property for an appraised $5.8 million and begin restoration.

With no funding, the cash-strapped authority agreed last September to invite interested developers to submit plans to purchase or lease the structure, but the request for proposals was put on hold to obtain an appraisal valuing the 6-acre site, with also includes a strip mall. The society will ask the authority to transfer ownership of the entire parcel, not just the portion with the train station, Genetti said. Our board has a vision and plans. We could utilize the whole area, he said. The societys restoration would return the 144-year-old station to its original appearance and prepare space inside for the Convention and Visitors Bureau, which would generate rental income, he said. There are ofces that would be available for other purposes as well, he said.

Endangered site Society board members agreed to intervene because the station is decaying and has been identified as an endangered historic site by community historical societies. The society owns four properties, including the Swetland Homestead in Wyoming and Denison House in Forty Fort. Genetti and other society members admired the stations wood paneling, built-in bookcases and molding during a tour Tuesday. The stainedglass windows and some other decorative fixtures were put into storage several years ago after an attempted theft. The actual peripheral of the building that is going to be removed is in the worse shape, Genetti said. You have to look beyond the trash and debris at the substantial construction, the brickwork.

GARY FINEOUT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday demanded an apology from longtime civil rights activist Jesse Jackson for comparing the states struggle with the Trayvon Martin case to the civil rights clashes with police during the 1960s in Selma, Ala. Jackson joined the protest this week and called Florida the Selma of our time and even compared Scott to former Alabama Gov. George Wallace. While he was governor, Wallace famously stood in the door at the University of Alabama to try to block the entry of two black students. Jackson also made refer-

ences to Florida as an apartheid state. Scott in a release blasted Jacksons comments as reckless and divisive and said he should apologize to residents. It is unfortunate that he would come to Florida to insult Floridians and divide our state at a time when we are striving for unity and healing, Scott said. But Jackson who spent Tuesday night with protesters at the state Capitol stuck by his comments Wednesday and said he wanted to change the disparities that exist in the state instead of resorting to name calling. The urry between the Republican governor and Jackson marked one of

the few reactions from Scott since a group began occupying the Capitol after George Zimmerman was acquitted on July 13 in the shooting death of Martin. Protesters have said they will not leave until Scott calls a special session to have legislators change the states stand your ground law and address other issues such as racial proling. Scott, who did meet once with protest leaders, has steadfastly refused to call a session. Since then, the protest has continued and attracted national media attention and earned the support of celebrities such as Harry Belafonte. During most of that time Scott has been traveling across the state.

Judge warns Loughnane at bail hearing about inappropriate communication with son
SHEENA DELAZIO WILKES-BARRE Prosecutors wanted Daniel Loughnanes bail revoked and the hit-and-run suspect jailed. But instead, a county judge warned Loughnane after he and his attorney, Peter Paul Olszewski, Jr., agreed some voice mails he left on his 7-year-old sons cellphone were inappropriate. Treat your son like he should be treated, Judge Michael Vough said. Not like a pawn. Loughnane, 40, of Hanover Township, is facing trial in March on a felony charge that he left the scene after he allegedly struck Rebecca McCallick, 19, with his vehicle on Hazle Avenue, WilkesBarre, on July 24, 2012. McCallick died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township.

The Pennsylvania Health Care Association commended U.S. Sen. Robert Casey and seven of the states U.S. representatives for co-sponsoring bipartisan legislation that would count a patients time in observation status in a hospital toward the three-day mandatory inpatient stay necessary for Casey Medicare to cover post-acute skilled nursing care. The association has been strongly advocating for Senate Bill 569 and House Resolution 1179, which would permit hospitals to care for people in observation status, but would allow those hospital stays to count toward the three-day Medicare requirement for post-acute care. Currently, Medicare pays for up to 100 days of skilled nursing center care after a qualifying three-day inpatient hospital stay. But with hospitals increasingly caring for patients in observation status meaning the patient hasnt been formally admitted to the hospital despite receiving the very same care in the very same room as someone who had been admitted seniors who need postacute care at a skilled nursing center are finding they face hefty bills because Medicare wont cover their care. The association commended U.S. Reps. Lou Barletta, Matt Cartwright and Tom Marino, among others, for their support.

WILKES-BARRE While others celebrate Christmas in July by baking cookies and watching holiday movies, United Way of Wyoming Valley celebrates the half-way mark by collecting food for those in need. In the summertime, United Way noticed pantry shelves were getting bare, John Winslow, director of communications and special events, said. The Christmas in July Food Drive competition began in 1989, and since then, many companies have donated food to help the hungry in the Wyoming Valley during the summer months. This year, 45 companies and organizations collected food and monetary donations throughout the entire

month of July, nearly tripling 2012s 16 donors. Although the United Way did not reach its goal of collecting 100,000 pounds, it still took in 77,451 pounds in the past four weeks. Since its beginning 25 years ago, a whopping 1,190,614 pounds of food has been collected for Wyoming Valley residents. Year-round need Bill Jones, president and CEO of the United Way, said the agency continues to hold the competition each year because there are many people in our community who are in need of help regardless of the season. On Wednesday, all donations were weighed on a large commercial scale at the Commission on Economic Opportunity building in Wilkes-Barre. Popular nonperishable items donated were cereal, pasta, tuna sh and peanut butter and jelly. Monetary

donations were also donated, with $1 equaling 2 pounds of food for the competition. After the United Way and Weinberg Food Bank employees collected 30 days worth of donations throughout the morning and the afternoon, they added up totals. For the second year in a row, Sallie Mae collected the most with 33,722 pounds. These organizations support thousands of people all year round, and were thrilled with the turnout of this years campaign, said Tracy Stine of Sallie Maes Hanover Township center. The second and third place honors went to Guard Insurance Group and Trion Industries, which also were given awards to be displayed at their ofces. This year was architecture and engineering rm Borton-Lawsons rst year participating in the Christmas in

July Food Drive. Assistant to the CEO Fran Stroh said there was much positive feedback in the ofce as a result. For the rst year, we got a good response, she said. Distribution network The donations are given to the Weinberg Food Bank, which has a network of pantries and agencies for distribution to senior centers, child care centers and lunch programs that help the poor. We are extremely grateful to all of the employees and the 45 companies. Their donations are going to get in the hands of people in need, Jones said. Although the Christmas in July Food Drive is competitive by nature and name, Jones said it is friendly and brings the participating companies and organizations together. Generosity is what our community is all about, he said.

Four men arrested in W-B drug sting operation

WILKES-BARRE City police teamed up with state police vice and narcotic troopers from Wyoming to arrest four people in three undercover drug-buy operations Tuesday night. Arrested in a sting at Coal Street Park were John Edward Longfoot, 19, of Dana Street, and Eric Conahan, 22, of Dougher Lane, both in Wilkes-Barre. Khalil Owens, 20, of Darling Street, Wilkes-Barre, was arrested in the Mineral Springs apartment complex, and Dumont Anderson, 36, of Prospect Street, Wilkes-Barre, was arrested on North Pennsylvania Boulevard. According to the criminal complaints: Just after 5 p.m., authorities spotted a drug sale going on inside

a parked vehicle at Coal Street Park. When authorities converged on the car, Longfoot was arrested while Conahan ran through a playground and basketball courts. Conahan ran across Coal Street and into a rear yard of a house on Walters Lane, where he allegedly hid items under wood planks next to a shed. Conahan jumped in a bush in an attempt to hide when an ofcer zapped him with a Taser when he refused to show his hands, the complaints say. A bag containing a large piece of crack cocaine and ve bags of heroin packets stamped Mexico under the wood planks, according to the complaint. Owens was arrested after he allegedly agreed to sell three heroin packets stamped Devil Face in the Mineral Springs complex just before 8 p.m.

Conahan was also charged with resisting arrest and criminal use of communication facility. They were jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail each. Preliminary hearings are scheduled on Aug. 15.

Hagel: Cuts will impact U.S.defense


Hagel laid out a worst-case scenario for the U.S. military if the Pentagon is forced to slash more than $50 billion from the 2014 budget and $500 billion over the next 10 years as a result of congressionally mandated automatic spending cuts. The Pentagon has been ratcheting up a persistent drumbeat about the dire effects of the budget cuts on national defense, and as Congress continues to wrangle over spending bills on Capitol Hill. The budget cuts stem from a law enacted two years ago that ordered the government to come up with $1.2 trillion in savings over a decade. The law included the threat of annual automatic cuts as a way of forcing lawmakers to reach a deal, but they have been unable to do so. As a result, come January, the Pentagon faces a cut of $54 billion from current spending if Congress fails to reverse the automatic cuts, according to calculations by Capitol Hill budget aides. The base budget must be trimmed to $498 billion, with cuts of about 4 percent hitting already reduced spending on defense, nuclear weapons and military construction. Congress has shown little inclination to undo the socalled sequester cuts, though talks between the White House and a handful of Senate Republicans have intensied in recent weeks. Going from 11 to eight or nine carrier strike groups would bring the Navy to its lowest number since World War II. And the troop cuts would shear the Army back to levels not seen since at least 1950, eroding the militarys ability to keep forces deployed and combat ready overseas. Detailing options, Hagel said America may have to choose between having a highly capable but signicantly smaller military and having a larger force while reducing special operations forces, limiting research and cutting or curtailing plans to upgrade

Speaking to Pentagon reporters, and indirectly to Congress, Hagel said the full result of the sweeping budget cuts over the next 10 years could leave the nation with an ill-prepared, under-equipped military doomed to face more technologically advanced enemies. In his starkest terms to date,

weapons systems. That second option, he said, would likely result in the U.S. military using older, less effective equipment against more technologically advanced adversaries. And it would have a greater impact on private defense companies around the country. The U.S., said Hagel, risks elding a military force that

in the next few years would be unprepared due to a lack of training, maintenance and upgraded equipment. And, even if the Pentagon chooses the most dramatic cuts, Hagel said it would still fall well short of meeting the reductions required by the automatic budget cuts, particularly during the rst ve years.

Halliburton Energy Services has been arraigned on a charge that the Houstonbased company destroyed evidence after BPs 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Lawyers for the company Wednesday entered a plea of not guilty to one count of destruction of evidence in federal court in New Orleans. But they say Halliburton has agreed to plead guilty at a date to be determined as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Department of Justice. Halliburton also has agreed to pay the statutory maximum ne of $200,000, be on probation for three years and to cooperate with the governments criminal investigation. Halliburton was BPs cement contractor on the drilling rig that exploded, triggering an explosion that killed 11 workers and spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf.

O.J. Simpson won a small victory Wednesday in his bid for freedom as Nevada granted him parole on some of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery involving the holdup of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room. But the decision doesnt mean Simpson will be leaving prison anytime soon. The former NFL star was convicted on multiple charges and still faces at least four more years behind bars on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively.

FORT MEADE, MD.

It is now up to a military judge to determine if Army Pfc. Bradley Manning will spend the rest of his life in prison even after being acquitted of the most serious charge against him for his release of thousands of documents to the website WikiLeaks. The sentencing phase of the soldiers court-martial began Wednesday. He faces up to 136 years in prison, though his attorneys have asked the military judge to merge two of his espionage convictions and two of his theft convictions. If Army Col. Denise Lind agrees to do so, he would face up to 116 years in prison. The former intelligence analyst was convicted of 20 of 22 charges for sending hundreds of thousands of government and diplomatic secrets to WikiLeaks, but he was found not guilty of aiding the enemy, which alone could have meant life in prison without parole.

Officials wont pinpoint source of salad mix outbreak


Illnesses have been reported in 15 states, although its not clear whether theyre connected
GRANT SCHULTE and MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. A food-safety inspector said Wednesday that most, if not all, of the prepackaged salad mix that sickened hundreds of people in Iowa and Nebraska wasnt grown in either state. Iowa Food and Consumer Safety Bureau chief Steven Mandernach said at least 80 percent of the vegetables were grown and processed outside both states jurisdictions. Mandernach said

ofcials havent conrmed the origins of 20 percent and might never know because victims cant always remember what they ate. Ofcials have said the salad was infected with cyclospora, a rare parasite that causes a lengthy gastrointestinal illness. Outbreaks have been reported in 15 states, although its not clear whether theyre connected. Iowa law allows public health ofcials to withhold the identities of any person or business affected by an outbreak. However, business names can be released to the public if the state epidemiologist

or public health director determines that disclosing the information is needed to protect public safety. Mandernach said there is no immediate threat, so his ofce is not required to release information about from where the product came. State ofcials believe the affected salad has already spoiled and is no longer in the supply chain, he said. Food-safety and consumer advocates say the agencies shouldnt withhold the information. Its not clear what the policy is, and at the very least they owe it to us to explain why they come down this way, said Sandra Eskin, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts food safety project. I think many people wonder if this is all because of possible litigation.

A man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to kidnapping and killing three women whose bodies were found wrapped in trash bags earlier this month. Michael Madison, 35, appeared via a video feed from jail for his arraignment, for which he was handcuffed and wearing orange jail scrubs. When the judge asked him how he was, Madison answered, Ive been better. The judge continued his $6 million bond and said she would appoint two attorneys to represent him. A pretrial hearing was set for Tuesday morning. Madison is facing six charges of aggravated murder, two for each victim under different killing theories. Hes also charged with three counts of kidnapping, three counts of gross abuse of a corpse, one count of rape and one count of weapon possession by an ex-convict.

UN: Afghan casualties up as U.S.draws down


Associated Press

PATRICK QUINN

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghanistans civilian casualty toll has jumped this year as insurgents ght to recapture territory from the departing American-led coalition, a U.N. report showed on Wednesday. The number of dead rose 14 percent, and wounded 28 percent, compared with JanuaryJune last year, UNAMA, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan, said in its mid-year report. It blamed the insurgency for 74 percent of the casualties, while the Taliban defended itself by claiming they were mostly legitimate targets because they were working for its enemy, the

Western-backed government. Civilian casualties had dropped after U.S. President Barack Obamas 30,000troop surge. But UNAMAs latest report cited an intensifying Taliban campaign to recapture lost ground as the coalition, which is preparing to complete its withdrawal by the end of 2014, hands over security responsibilities to a rebuilt Afghan military and police force. UNAMA said it counted 1,319 civilian deaths and 2,533 wounded from January to June, compared with 1,158 deaths and 1,976 wounded in the rst six months of 2012. It said most were caused by homemade bombs and mines on or near roads. Nine percent were attributed to the Afghan security forces

and U.S.-led international military coalition, and 12 percent to ground engagements between pro-govern-

ment forces and insurgents. The rest were either unattributed or caused by old explosive charges.

WASHINGTON A bipartisan bill that would reduce the costs of borrowing for millions of students passed the House on Wednesday and was heading to President Barack Obama for his signature. The legislation links student loan interest rates to the nancial markets, offering lower rates for most students now but higher ones down the line if the economy improves as expected. Even as they were preparing to pass the bill, many lawmakers were already talking about a broader overhaul of the nations colleges to curb fastclimbing costs. This is a win for students and taxpayers, said Rep. John Kline, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. The top Democrat on that committee joined Kline on the House oor to urge colleagues to back the bill. It saves students and families money, said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif. Undergraduates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that years loan, but each years loan could be more expensive than the last. Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. But for now, interest payments for tuition, housing and books would be less expensive under the House-passed bill. The House earlier this year passed legislation that is similar to what the Senate later passed. Both versions link interest rates to 10-year Treasury notes and remove Congress annual role in determining rates. Campaign promises and political posturing should not play a role in the setting of student loan interest rates, said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. Borrowers deserve better. Negotiators of the Senate compromise were mindful of the House-passed version, as well as the White House preference to shift responsibility for interest rates to the nancial markets. The resulting bipartisan bill passed the Senate 81-18. With changes made in the Senate most notably a cap on how interest rates could climb and locking in interest rates for the life of each years loan Democrats dropped their objections and joined Republicans in backing the bill.

EDWARD LEWIS

WILKES-BARRE Woodlands Inn and Resorts CEO Gary Kornfeld is proud of his familys hard work over 44 years, starting as a simple catering business in 1969 and expanding into the regions top entertainment and hotel venue. But times have changed in the past decade, Kornfeld said, with other entertainment facilities, hotels and the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino opening in

the same market. Without a liquor license, Kornfeld said, his family wouldnt be in business. Im here fighting for my life and my familys lives and the 160 people who work there as well, Kornfeld testified before Luzerne County Judge Richard Hughes on Wednesday at a hearing held at Genettis. The Woodlands is appealing a decision by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board not to renew its liquor license based on 10 violations of the liquor code dating back to 1987 and

47 alleged incidents and disturbances reported to Plains Township police. Kornfeld said six of those 10 violations are 20 years old or older. LCB conditions Although competition by other hotels and the casino has impacted business at the Woodlands, Kornfeld said, so has the LCB. A conditional licensing agreement forced upon the Woodlands by the board in 2011 caused a 50-percent decline in business on Thursday nights when the

resort hosts an under-21 party, Kornfeld said. Kornfeld said the agreement called for separation of those people under 21 years old from patrons who are 21 and older. He said patrons 21 years and older were placed in the lower Executive Lounge while the younger crowd mingles in Club Evolution. Responsible drinking is important to us because we have an image to maintain, Kornfeld said, noting the board threatened to revoke its liquor license if he did

not sign the conditional licensing agreement. Kornfeld said that at one time, the Woodlands was the largest purchaser of liquor in the state. Liquor sales to customers have declined over the years, but he said, we need that (liquor) business to succeed. The Woodlands purchased $247,016 worth of liquor and wine from May 2012 to April from state liquor stores, according to LCB statistics. Casino competition Kornfeld said it is difficult to maintain a food-and-bever-

age business due to competition. He said the casino, located about one mile north on state Route 315 in Plains Township, provides free drinks to its patrons. They give their drinks away and were asking people to pay for their drinks, Kornfeld said. Hughes is expected to make a decision on the appeal later this year. The Woodlands can continue to serve alcohol while the appeal proceeds.

Police: 175 heroin packets seized in traffic stop

PLAINS TWP. A trafc stop made because of a vehicle following another too closely resulted in the discovery of 175 heroin packets and the arrests of two people from New York, state police at Wyoming said. Lawanda Laquazar Slade, 33, of

Brooklyn, and Chuckie Stevenson McDaniels, 39, of Uniondale, were arraigned Wednesday on two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count each of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal conspiracy and attempting to destroy evidence.

Slade was also charged with a trafc citation and McDaniels charged with escape, resisting arrest and providing false identication to law enforcement. State police said they stopped Slade for following another vehicle too closely twhile traveling on state Route 115 Tuesday night. According to the criminal complaints: A trooper during the trafc stop detected an odor of marijuana coming from the car. Slade told the trooper the passenger was her brother but did not know

his last name. Slade surrendered a bag containing marijuana from her bra. As the trooper returned to his cruiser, McDaniels ran away, initiating a chase along Route 115 and behind houses. McDaniels was stunned by a Taser. He fought with two troopers and then stunned a second time, the complaints state. State police recovered eight heroin packets on the ground next to the car. Slade said she dropped the packets from her pants when McDaniels ran away, according to the complaints. Slade told state police she was paid

$350 to drive McDaniels to a place in Plymouth. She said McDaniels hid heroin packets in her pants when she was stopped on Route 115, the complaints allege. McDaniels allegedly told state police he planned to meet his cousins at a garage in Plymouth to give them heroin. State police said in the complaint they recovered 175 heroin packets wrapped in plastic and paper towels during the trafc stop. Preliminary hearings are scheduled on Aug. 13.

Suit claims Pocono Raceway not handicap accessible

SCRANTON Five days before the GoBowling.com 400 at Pocono International Raceway, a New Jersey nonprot organization has led a lawsuit on behalf of a quadriplegic, alleging the facilities are not equipped for wheelchair users. Ronald Moore of New Jersey alleges he is forced to park his specially equipped van in grassy elds that are not level, and the grandstands and restrooms at the Long Pond facility lack handbars. The suit was led Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Scranton by The Independence Project, which represents the interests

of disabled people. Moore claims in the suit he has patronized the raceway numerous times and he intends to return to Pocono in Long Pond for this Sundays NASCAR race sponsored by GoBowling.com. NASCAR races at Pocono attract 95,000 to 115,000 people. According to the suit: Pocono fails to provide accessible parking for disabled patrons. Moores path of travel from parking areas to the raceway was impeded by uneven and rocky ground and mud and slopes. Ramps to interior areas inside the racetrack lack handrails. Counters for food and retail vending areas including picnic

areas, tables and counters where food can be consumed are inaccessible for wheelchair users. Accessible grandstand seating fails to provide proper sight lines for Moore. Restrooms are inaccessible to wheelchair users and lack directional signage. Theres a lack of grab bars inside restrooms, and toilet paper, soap and towel dispensers are out of reach. Pocono Raceway spokesman Bob Pleban in an email declined comment. Moore is seeking to compel Pocono to be compliant under the Americans with Disabilities Act and to cover attorneys fees, costs and litigation expenses.

WILKES-BARRE A Nanticoke man charged with his role in the stabbing of a man pleaded guilty Wednesday to two related charges. George Richards, 27, with a last known address of East Main Street, pleaded guilty to charges of simple assault and harassment. County Judge Michael Vough said Richards will be sentenced on Sept. 27. According to court papers, on June 30, 2012, police were called to the area of Janisons Floral on East Main Street in Nanticoke. When police arrived, they saw blood in a parking lot and broken pieces of wood. Floyd Bernard had injuries to his head, face and arm and was taken to the WilkesBarre General Hospital for treatment. He was treated for lacerations to his head, chest and arm. Bernard said two people, Richard Shaw and George Richards, were angry with him because Bernard would not allow Richards to live with him any longer. Bernard said words were exchanged and Shaw pulled out a knife. Bernard said he tried to defend himself, but Shaw cut him on the chest and elbow. Bernard said he then saw Richards coming from the side with a wooden object, and that he was struck in the head, according to court papers. Shaw, 29, also of Nanticoke, was charged in the case and sentenced in June to nine to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to related charges.

Budget woes may force more limits on Pa.bridges


Transportation secretary says measures will be needed if Legislature doesnt raise gas taxes
MARC LEVY
Associated Press

HARRISBURG Another 1,000 bridges in Pennsylvania will be slapped with additional weight restrictions as a consequence of declining funding for repairs and the Legislatures failure to approve higher gas taxes and motorist fees since the 1990s, the states top transportation ofcial warned senators Wednesday.

The move being considered by Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch could increase the number of weight-restricted bridges about 50 percent in the coming months, with the rst new restrictions appearing as early as August. Schoch told the Senate Transportation Committee that the policy is particularly necessary given the rising costs to pay for the state police and stronger fuel efciency standards that

are eating away at revenue from motor vehicle fuel taxes. The restrictions will slow down the deterioration of the bridges, and allow the Department of Transportation to spend money on other needs, Schoch said. There is no choice at this point but to do so, Schoch said. The department is planning to spend about $4.3 billion this year to maintain and build state and local roads and bridges, plus another $1.4 billion for mass

transit systems. The gures include federal and state taxpayer money. Schochs testimony follows a battle in the Legislature over the approval of billions of dollars in higher fuel taxes and motorist fees. In February, Gov. Tom Corbett proposed a plan that would eventually increase spending on roads, bridges and mass transit systems by $1.8 billion a year. In early June, the Senate voted 45-5 to approve a bill that would eventually increase transportation spending by $2.5 billion a year. However, neither Corbett nor leaders of the House Republican

majority endorsed the Senate bill, and House GOP leaders were unable to come up with a plan that could pass the chamber before lawmakers left Harrisburg for the rest of the summer. Schoch predicted the new weight restrictions will potentially mean longer routes and commutes for haulers, school buses and emergency vehicles. He also said he worried about having to face the families of victims should a bridge collapse. Its time to act, Schoch told senators. If we dont, the consequences keep getting worse. For now, more than 2,200 state- and locally owned bridges

out of about 31,000 in the state are already weight-restricted, according to state gures. Schoch said Pennsylvania is the most resistant state in the nation in weight restricting its bridges. Under the national average, it would have 6,000 weightrestricted bridges already, he said. Pennsylvania ranks 11th in spending per highway mile, but Schoch said that that is not surprising, because the state has highways that are among the oldest in the nation, a large number of bridges, costs to plow snow and among the worst freezethaw cycles.

Closing arguments postponed in Pennsylvania voter ID trial


Associated Press

PETER JACKSON

HARRISBURG A judge extended the trial over Pennsylvanias voter-identication law Wednesday into a 12th day after lawyers called a truce in a behindthe-scenes battle and the state led a motion seeking to dismiss the lawsuit. Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard McGinley scheduled closing arguments, which lawyers on both sides had expected as early as Wednesday, for today. The March 2012 law was passed by the Republicancontrolled Legislature without any Democratic votes and signed by GOP Gov. Tom Corbett, but court orders have prevented it from being enforced. Democrats charged it was a cynical attempt in a presidential election year to discourage voting by minorities, young adults and other groups that tend to vote Democratic. Republicans said it bolsters the security of Pennsylvanias elec-

tions, though state ofcials have conceded they are not aware of any cases of voter impersonation. Most of Wednesdays truncated court session was consumed by a closed-door hearing that had begun Tuesday. The hearing involved a dispute over analyses by the plaintiffs that sought to underscore that dozens of voters couldnt obtain a free, voting-only ID before last years election, despite changes made more than a month before the election that were designed to make those IDs readily available to registered voters. State ofcials objected to the testimony but agreed not to rebut it. The motion to dismiss the case challenged the standing of three plaintiffs the NAACP, the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters and Philadelphias Homeless Advocacy Project, said Alicia Hickok, a Philadelphia lawyer representing the state. McGinley said he was unlikely to grant the motion, unless its extremely persuasive.

Theyre not granted very often, Hickok conceded. Witold Walczak of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said the state has tried to distract attention from problems in implementing the voter ID law by revising the number of voters who the state says were initially turned down for the special IDs. Out of more than 600 voters initially identied in that group, the state has since said 144 never applied for the special ID and ultimately received another form of ID. They dont want any numbers out there, Walczak said. Hickok, while acknowledging some voters did not receive their IDs until after the election, said the plaintiffs legal team lacked an understanding of how the Department of State tracks the IDs in its database. They made assumptions without investigating them, she said. Its unfortunate that they didnt understand.

Kane fires back at Corbett over Pa.marriage suit


HARRISBURG Attorney General Kathleen Kane is ring back at Gov. Tom Corbett over the defense of Pennsylvanias law that effectively bans same-sex marriage and said it isnt the governors job to tell the attorney general what the ofces duties and obligations are. The dispatch, in a letter that emerged Wednesday, was the latest biting exchange between Kane, a newly elected Democrat, and Corbett, the Republican former attorney general whom she heavily criticized during her campaign. In the letter sent Tuesday, Kanes chief of staff, Adrian King, called Pennsylvanias marriage law one of the last discriminatory statutes in Pennsylvania and predicted it will be struck down by the courts. Just as discriminatory laws based on race, religion, gender, disability and ethnic origin have been struck down by the courts one by one, so too will the marriage law, King wrote to Corbetts lawyer James Schultz. In short, this is a watershed moment. Two days after Pennsylvanias marriage law was challenged in federal court, Kane, who supports same-sex marriage, said she believed it to be unconstitutional and could not ethically defend it. The statement drew applause from Democrats and proponents of same-sex

marriage, but Corbett, the Republican Party and other opponents of same-sex marriage criticized her as shirking her duty to defend state laws. Pennsylvania is the only northeastern state that doesnt allow samesex marriage or civil unions. A 1996 state law denes marriage as a civil contract in which a man and a woman take each other as husband

and wife. On Tuesday, Corbetts ofce said it would defend the law, and in a letter to King, Schultz wrote the law leaves Kane no choice but to defend the ban. Nothing excuses the attorney general from undertaking her legal duty to defend the statute challenged by the lawsuit, Schultz wrote. Her personal opinion that the law is unconstitutional is not valid basis

for her refusal to do her job. King responded that Schultz conveniently ignored Kanes reasons for refusing to defend the suit her obligation to uphold the constitution and follow rules of professional conduct and then tells Schultz to mind his own business. It is not your job to tell the Ofce of Attorney General what its duties and obligations are, King wrote.

Pa. scraps IBM contract to update UC system


The Associated Press Hearthway said. The level of risk, combined with the critical nature of the system, demands that the (department) has a system that produces timely decisions reliably and accurately. Carnegie Mellon Universitys Software Engineering Institute says it identied numerous problems with the design and implementation of the system. Its study was commissioned by the department last year. An IBM spokesman, Scott Cook, said the company was surprised by Hearthways announcement and that the decision is based on a third-party report that we have not seen. He said IBM has repeatedly asked to review the report with department ofcials. In complex information technology implementations, there is accountability on both sides for system performance and service delivery, Cook said.

WASHINGTON It has taken a dramatic switched vote by one senator, a lengthy ight back from North Dakota by another and a drawn-out roll call, but Democrats moved Wednesday toward clearing the way for one of President Barack Obamas nominees to win Senate conrmation. Despite optimism that they had the votes to prevail, Democrats struggled to end Republican delaying tactics aimed at derailing Obamas pick of B. Todd Jones to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Democrats initially seemed about to lose their effort to end those delays in a showdown vote that started at 2 p.m. A defeat would have been a setback for Obama, who is trying to plug gaps in his secondterm administrations lineup, and dealt a blow to the recent cooperation between the two parties over allowing votes on the presidents nominees. In a prolonged spectacle played out largely in full view on the Senate oor, Democratic senators swarmed around Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, after she at rst voted to support GOP delaying tactics. As the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and other Democrats tried persuading her to switch her vote, the scrum around Murkowski was quickly enlarged when Republican senators joined the group, urging her not to change. More than a dozen lawmakers spent nearly an hour imploring Murkowski, rst on the Senate oor and then in a private cloakroom. After about 20 minutes of talks in the cloakroom, Murkowski emerged and switched her vote. Were going to gure out a way to move forward, she told reporters after the vote. She later said in a written statement that she switched her vote after learning that Jones no longer was under investigation, as opponents had said he was, for his performance as U.S.

attorney for Minnesota. She said she would oppose Jones when the Senate votes on nal conrmation of his nomination later Wednesday. His conrmation will require only a simple majority and he was considered certain to be approved. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who was also in the middle of the intense discussions, said that one point Democrats raised was that blocking a vote on Jones would have disrupted the relative and recent comity in the Senate. With an autumn of ghts over the budget and other issues coming up, The last thing we want to do is leave with some radioactive blowup, Klobuchar said. Congress is due to leave for a ve-week summer recess this weekend. Murkowskis switch still left Democrats one short of the 60 votes needed to end libusters. So they were waiting for one of their members, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, to return to the Capitol from North Dakota and cast the decisive vote for Jones. Aides said Heitkamp was expected back by around 7 p.m. While most Senate roll calls take about 20 minutes, the Jones vote was still under way at nearly 6 p.m. The Senate Historians Ofce said that while it didnt have exhaustive data on the longest-lasting Senate roll calls, the chambers 2009 vote on Obamas economic stimulus package lasted ve hours and 15 minutes. It ended when Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, returned from a family funeral in Ohio to vote. Many congressional Republicans have been harshly critical of the ATF, especially for its fumbled Fast and Furious Operation aimed at gun-smuggling across the Southwest border. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and others have also complained that Jones nomination should not move forward because of whistle-blower complaints against Jones involving his work as U.S. attorney for Minnesota.

SERVING THE PUBLIC TRUST SINCE 1881

Local boy does good: Judge Correale Stevens

Pete G. Wilcox |The Times Leader

From left: Justice Correale Stevens, wife Louise and Chief Justice ronald Castille.

Newly-minted State Supreme Court Justice Correale Stevens has a long record of public service that has routinely gone beyond the call of any ofce he held. Luzerne County in general and his native Hazleton area in particular can take pride in his rise to the highest court in the state. He was sworn in Tuesday. Stevens has worked for more than three decades in four different positions and avoided any scent of scandal or favoritism. Barring some deeply hidden closet skeleton, the 66-year-old jurist should prove a strong antidote for the poisoning of public trust created by the justice he replaces. That would be Joan Orie Melvin, who resigned after being convicted of using government employees to help her political campaign. Stevens started out serving eight years representing the Hazleton area in the state House before winning election as Luzerne County District Attorney in 1988. He moved up to judge three years later and to state superior court in 1998, where his 15 fellow jurists unanimously chose him as president judge in 2011. The superior court typically convenes in three-judge panels in Harrisburg, Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, gathering twice a year en banc with nine judges present. When he became

president judge, Stevens voiced a hope he could bring an en banc meeting to Luzerne County someday. He succeeded, not only convening here, but doing so in historic fashion by graveling the session in an auditorium at MMI Preparatory School, his sons alma mater. It was the rst time Superior Court held session in a high school in the states history. It epitomized Stevens oft-stated credo of public transparency. He has always exhibited a persona that put people rst in fullling public ofce. As he said in remarks during his swearing-in ceremony, judges who rule along party lines Do a disservice to all the judiciary in Pennsylvania. During his comments, Stevens demonstrated another hallmark of his public service: An effort to put the emphasis on a persons total work in ofce. Please do not judge me during this time of my appointment on any one particular decision, he told the crowd. At the end of two and a half years, if you can look back and you can say he was diligent, he was fair, he was impartial, then I have earned your respect and the people of Pennsylvania have been properly served. Knowing his record, its safe to assume that is exactly what most people will say.

COMMEnTArY: MiCHAEL A. MACDOWELL

Old documents still guide us in the newworld


In 1776, two important documents were created: The Declaration of Independence was signed 237 years ago on July 4, and the lesser known book, The Wealth of Nations, was published. While the 900-page book pales in historic comparison to the Declaration of Independence, its contents are equally revolutionary. Adam Smith, a Scottish moral philosopher and professor at the University of Glasgow, wrote The Wealth of Nations as a reaction to a closed European economic system which favored Michael A. the state over individMacdowell uals. Both documents Contributing are products of the Columnist Enlightenment. They delineate principles that established the basis for American democracy and our market-based economic system that some observers have said may be the worst system of all except for all the others. The Declaration of Independence is fraught with 18th century neoclassical liberal thinking about the inalienable rights of individuals. It is in sharp contrast to the monarchical, mercantilism doctrines that dominated England and its colonies for more than 150 years. It is doubtful our Founding Fathers read The Wealth of Nations before putting pen to paper. Nonetheless, it is obvious that the Enlightenment way of thinking permeates both texts. Adam Smith was concerned that state-owned and/or state-controlled enterprises would inevitably discriminate against the individual in favor of these public or quasipublic enterprises. Furthermore, he believed powerful companies and state agencies would collude and conspire against public and privately held companies if competition was stymied by government. The 18th century philosopher was not an anarchist any more than were Americas Founding Fathers. He saw legitimate roles for government: One was to assume defense of the country, and another was to provide services a prot-driven market economy would not, such as public transportation. Finally, Smith also believed it was the responsibility of government to create and maintain a judicial system that enforces, among other things, intellectual property rights. Adam Smith was one of the rst to suggest that a centralized economy overseen by the state would inevitably lead to a lack of individual freedom, less productivity and a decline in the wealth of all within a nation. He would no doubt feel comfortable today in commenting on the strategies centrally controlled economies like Chinas use in securing industrial secrets from other countries. Most likely, he would also see similarities between mercantile England of the mid-l8th century and the centralized government and economic system of China in the early part of the 21st century. The motives behind former National Security Agency (NSA) analyst Edward Snowdens alleged actions are debatable. It is clear, however, that the alleged thievery from NSA has become a public relations coup for one of our nations chief competitors. China has suggested the Snowden incident proves the U.S. is engaging in exactly the same kind of espionage that we have accused the Chinese of doing. We should know, however, that the organized stealing of another countrys patented scientic, biological and industrial secrets is hardly the same as intelligence gathering that is designed to assure our national security. Why is the U.S. not engaged in the wholesale theft of patented products from other countries? As Adam Smith pointed out many years ago, for one simple reason: Who would the U.S. give secrets to? Would the United States government lend stolen communications patents to Microsoft or Google, or the myriad of other rms in the industry? Would our government give aerospace secrets to Boeing or General Dynamics, or biomedical secrets to GlaxoSmithKline or Johnson and Johnson? Of course not. These rms are not state-sanctioned monopolies. They compete against one another thereby optimizing creativity and efciency. There is little reason for one country to steal from foreign rms when private enterprise is the basis for economic activity between countries. Just like 18th century Britain and China today, when there are vague and non-existent boundaries between companies and government, the incentives to engage in industrial espionage are strong. Company profits are not owned by entrepreneurs, shareholders or employees, but by the government itself. These governments enrich themselves through industrial espionage. In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith introduces the famous invisible hand. Unencumbered by the dictates of government, private enterprise and competition would guide individuals to seek their own gain which in turn leads to the betterment of all, according to the professor and philosopher. This 237year old axiom is as true today as it was when he penned it in the same year we declared our independence from England. Private business ventures continue to be the most efcient way to discourage industrial and intellectual espionage, while it also encourages growth in enterprise and rewards honest individuals who seek to prosper in the marketplace.

Nominally, New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner is running against City Council President Christine Quinn and several others. More essentially, he is taking on the idea that our leaders are subject to any standards whatsoever. Fortunately, he appears to be losing both contests. The seemingly one-of-a-kind sexting scandal that got Weiner kicked out of Congress two years ago engulfed him a second time last week, when it became clear that he had continued vigorously distributing dirty self-portraits across cyberspace well after he claimed to have begun his atonement. But rather than exit the race, Weiner calculated that conventional understanding was no match for his overweening arrogance and ambition. The former congressmans bid for redemption in the form of another undeserved public ofce has been suffused with surreality and self-reference. Even as his real name provided endless opportunities for puns on the sex organ he is obsessed with, he disseminated pictures of said appendage under the pseudonym Carlos Danger. In cheating on his wife apparently without so much as meeting his virtual mistresses, Weiner threat-

Its not about fidelity, its about the truth

OTHEr OpiniOn: AnTHOnY WEinEr

ened to make his political career and personal scandal one and the same a repetitive, compulsive, embarrassing, and revolting campaign for attention of any kind. Having paraded his marriage as a symbol of his recovery, the candidate then asked the media to respect its essential privacy now that the story had proved false. He weirdly reminded voters that he had been honest about his dishonesty by predicting the discovery of additional Weiner-grams. And he reasoned that because he had acted egregiously before, his doing so again should have little effect on his run for public ofce. At times Weiner has seemed to be at war with reality itself. In an age of voter apathy and media fragmentation, perhaps New Yorkers were paying too little attention to notice the difference between an instance of wrongdoing and its unrepentant repetition. Bill Clinton and many after him have shown that Americans are long past demanding that politicians be true to their marriages. But as Anthony Weiner is nding out, that doesnt mean the truth itself has ceased to matter.

Special thank-you for heat wave help


I wish to offer special thanks to those special people who were so accommodating during the recent heat wave. Thanks to the management and staff at the Kingston Pool. The hot temperatures and high humidity brought bigger crowds to the pool. I

commend the staff for their professionalism, patience and endurance, and extended courtesies toward pool patrons. And thanks to the ofcials of the Luzerne County Housing Authority and the management and staff at Central Maintenance. Residents without air-conditioning were encouraged to seek comfort in the beautiful climate-controlled community room. At Kingston Manor, the in-house maintenance man took

time out of his demanding schedule to go door to door to make sure residents were OK and not suffering any adverse effects of the high heat and humidity. Finally, thanks to the owner and staff at the Pierce Street Deli. I encourage you to patronize this ne business. Thank you again and God bless you for going the extra mile.

Police said Alinsky gave police four different versions of what took place. Alinsky told police she and Gailie had gotten into an argument and she was upstairs when Gailie shot himself. Then she said she was in a downstairs bathroom when she heard a pop and emerged from the bathroom to nd Gailie on the oor. Then she told police she was in the living room when she saw Gailie shoot himself. Next, she told police she was in in the living room with Gailie and tried to get the gun away from him when it went off, police said. My nger was on the trigger Police said Alinsky agreed to go to state police headquarters in West Hazleton for questioning and, while walking to a police vehicle, said: Did I kill him? My nger was on the trigger. Asked what she meant when she said her nger was on the trigger, police said Alinsky paused, stared toward the house and said, Our ght caused this to happen. I did this. What am I going to do without him? After she was advised of her constitutional rights at state police headquarters, Alinsky denied shooting Gailie, moving his body or placing the pistol in his hand, police said. Alinsky then told police she and Gailie had a ght and she was in an upstairs bedroom when she heard a pop; she went downstairs and found Gailie on the oor. In a subsequent taped interview, Alinsky provided the same version of events except that Gailie was brandishing the gun before she went upstairs, police said. The following day, police interviewed neighbor Tracey Grohol, who told them she heard a gunshot at 11:34 p.m. 16 minutes before Alinskys 911 call. But police found that Grohols clock was three minutes fast compared to the county 911 center. In a subsequent interview on Sept. 4, 2011, Alinsky admitted to police she had lied and that she did move Gailies body, placed the pistol in his hand and did not immediately call 911 for assistance, police said. Police said an autopsy performed on Gailie by Dr. Gary Ross indicated the bullet entered Gailies right upper lip beneath the left nostril, traveling from front to back, upwards to the right and transected Gailies brain stem; immediate loss of consciousness would have ensued, with death quickly following. The autopsy also found there would be no voluntary activ-

Ross noted that the location of the gunshot wound and distance were extremely unusual, police said in court papers. Further ballistic testing of the pistol led Ross to conclude the muzzle of the pistol was 5 to 7 inches from the entrance of the wound. Ross concluded that the distance, shot placement and trajectory were inconsistent with suicide and determined that the manner of death was homicide. Arraigned in Hazle Twp. Alinsky was arraigned before District Judge James Dixon in Hazle Township late Wednesday afternoon after an extradition hearing in Pottsville, Schuylkill County. Dixon explained to Alinsky that the homicide charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison or death and that the charge of tampering with evidence carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $5,000 ne. Dixon said the ling of a homicide charge precluded him from assigning bail, so Alinsky was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility until her preliminary hearing, which is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 9. However, the hearing will likely be continued, as Zola told Dixon he had a conict on that date. Alinsky is represented by Tamaqua attorney Gary Marchalk, who was not present at the arraignment. Alinskys family members, who were present, declined comment, as did Alinsky, except to say that she missed Gailie in response to a reporters question. Asked after the arraignment if the case relied on circumstantial evidence and if it would be difcult to prosecute, Zola said it would not thanks to the hard work of the investigators in this case. They really put the pieces of the puzzle together. Zola said the case was difcult from the beginning because investigators were given a version of events that didnt make sense when you put that version up against the physical evidence, the forensic evidence. Unfortunately in this case, as was presented at the coroners inquest, when you have a crime scene that has been manipulated and tampered with, its very, very difcult to determine what happened. But we were able to do that and Im condent that once we present this to a jury, well get a conviction, Zola said. appear on any records. Police said Sult told them she also wrote a check in 2009 to cover the fan. On Oct. 14, 2010, investigators interviewed Richard Boice. Investigators said he paid back the amount he owed, including taxes, since the authority is a taxexempt entity. Police said they asked Boice why it took him more than a year to write a check for his purchases, and he indicated that it was an oversight on his part. Interviewed on March 6, 2012, Jason Boice told police he immediately wrote a check to cover the purchase of a furnace for his home. Police said he told them he forgot to reimburse the cost of the water pump for his truck after having back surgery, but immediately paid it back when the newspaper article about the alleged thefts came out and brought it to his attention. Musial informed the board about his suspicions during a 2009 meeting, denying allegations that his motivation was political. Boice, who served 26 years in borough government 10 as councilman and 16 as mayor was defeated by Republican challenger Clarence Hogan in the 2009 election. His wife, Councilwoman Michelle Boice, was elected to a seat on the board in 2011. Moses questions both the timing of the original investigation and how long it took to result in charges, adding that a lengthy list of original allegations against his client resulted only in a hundred-dollar motorcycle battery. This is an attempt to ruin Mr. Boices character, to ruin him politically, Moses said.

Arrested
From page 1A Im very proud of what happened yesterday. Salavantis said the preparation for the inquest was lengthy and similar to an actual trial. We had to do research on how the proceeding was going to go, and it was a learning process for everyone involved. Assistant District Attorney Dan Zola did an outstanding job, Salavantis said. The jury heard testimony from a number of witnesses Monday and Tuesday, including state troopers, neighbors, family members, a forensic pathologist and a psychiatrist. Much like a trial, photos and audio recordings were used and witnesses answered questions asked by the assistant district attorney. Unlike a trial, jurors were permitted to ask questions and acting Coroner William Lisman presided over the proceeding rather than a judge. After deliberating for about a half hour Tuesday, the jury determined that Gailies manner of death was homicide and that Alinsky was responsible for the death. Salavantis said investigators picked up Alinsky on

Wednesday to be arraigned on the charge. Zola said during the inquest that Alinsky could face rst- or third-degree murder, or involuntary or voluntary manslaughter. Zola said second-degree murder does not apply in the case because a felony was not committed in addition to the homicide. Different stories According to the criminal complaint led Wednesday at District Judge James Dixons ofce, Alinsky called Luzerne County 911 at 11:47 p.m. Sept. 2, 2011, reporting that Gailie had shot himself in the head. State police responding to the scene found Gailie lying dead on the living room oor with a gunshot wound under his left nostril. Police also observed a Springeld XD 9mm semi-automatic pistol in Gailies left hand with the tip of his index nger inside the trigger guard. Blood evidence indicated Gailies head initially rested on the cushion of a couch, as a large amount of blood had seeped into it. Gailie had been pulled back from the couch into the position that he was found, as there was a large linear blood spatter pattern projecting from behind his head, police said in the court papers.

Jobs
From page 1A Northeastern Pennsylvania, Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, said. Janes said the idea of building a new plant in the Mid-Atlantic has been on the drawing board for ve years. Binghamton, N.Y., initially had been viewed as the likely site. But at least one of the companies contracted by Tech Packaging Frito Lay, which has a site in the park said Hazleton was a good location. The Hazleton area was chosen in large part because of its logistics, including the proximity to interstates 81 and 80, Janes said. But there were other factors, too, he said. A good history with the local work force at the Berwick plant, tax and other nancial incentives and a ready-tobuild site all weighed in the decision. The 32-acre parcel was purchased by the company from Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services. Mericle, a Luzerne County-based company, has been hired to do the

us. You wont regret it, Toohil said. The jobs will pay between $22,800 and $70,000 and will be posted through area CareerLink ofces. Two managerial jobs are already posted, with starting salaries of $45,000, according to Christine M. Jensen, administrator for CareerLink in the Luzerne County.

site work and construction facets of the project. Ready to go Janes offered praise for the number of socalled Ready to Go sites Mericle has created throughout the region as something thats very attractive to companies. Thats something you dont see in a lot of parts of the country, Janes said. He also made it a point to talk about the work ethic shown by employees throughout the 13 years the Berwick plant has operated and how the economy has grown at an annual rate of just 0.6 percent. Growth was a bit stronger than anticipated in the second quarter, but has come to a virtual standstill since late last year. The tax increases and government spending cuts have weighed, said Mark Zandi, the chief economist for forecaster Moodys Analytics. Despite the weak numbers, employment growth is holding up. The conicting signs

reputation for this regions labor pool has been proven true when it comes to his company. The workers (here) seem more eager to work than some places where we have other facilities, Janes said. Toohil, R-Butler Township, said not only is the regions workforce a dedicated one, but also we have good workers and they want to work. She, like many of the others who spoke, tried to let Janes know his decision to locate here was the right one. Thank you for choosing in the government data led the Federal Reserve to disappoint with a muchanticipated statement Wednesday at the close of its two-day meeting. Fed policymakers avoided committing to a timetable for ending controversial bond purchases of $85 billion a month, designed to provide an unconventional economic stimulus. In its vague statement, the Fed said it will continue to take appropriate account of the likely ef-

Timeline for hiring The company expects to hire 95 full-time workers within three years of the plants opening, said Janes, plus it will employ 165 of the 245 people currently working at the Berwick plant, which opened in 1998. The Berwick plant, Janes added, will also be able to hire additional workers in the near future as it will have some space to grow when certain contracts are transferred to the Hazle Township facility. Tech Packaging has demonstrated its commitment to Northeastern Pennsylvania, said Kevin ODonnell, the president of CAN DO, an economic development organization serving Greater Hazleton. Founded in 1990, Tech cacy and costs of such purchases as well as the extent of progress toward its economic objectives. A continued rebound in the housing sector was the biggest plus in Wednesdays report. That might boost things in the months ahead. Residential real estate continues to do its thing, rising 13.4 percent (in the second quarter) after a 12.5 percent jump in the rst quarter, Neil Dutta, the head of U.S. economics for Renaissance Macro

Packaging provides a variety of services including shrink wrapping, repacking, relabeling and date coding. The Hazle Township facility is expected to handle approximately $15 million in inventory a year once up and running. The Hazleton facility demonstrates our ongoing commitment for continuous improvement and is a testament to the relationships we have built with our customers, Janes said. This facility is a milestone in our long-term initiatives to maintain our position as a leader in our industry. We are excited to be able to contribute to the Hazleton economy and the community. The company received a funding offer from the Department of Community and Economic Development, including a $250,000 Pennsylvania First Program grant and a $42,750 Guaranteed Free Training grant that will be used to train its new workers. The property also was approved for KOZ status by the county, township and Hazleton Area School District, meaning it will not pay real estate taxes for up to 12 years. Research, wrote in a note to investors. With singlefamily building permits climbing and much of the new homes sold not yet started, we suspect construction activity to accelerate in the second half of the year. Adding to the intrigue Wednesday, the government released a comprehensive revision of economic data that showed that the Great Recession wasnt as steep as earlier estimates had suggested.

Theft
From page 1A $670 worth of purchases $177 for a pump from Dallas Auto Parts in October 2007 and $492 for a furnace from R.E. Michel Co. in April 2009. Sult made $31.74 worth of purchases $6.77 for a Honda Civic headlamp from Dallas Auto Parts in March 2008 and $24.97 for a three-speed tower fan from Dallas Centre Hardware in August 2008. Afdavit details According to the afdavit, investigators met with authority solicitor Tom OConnor on Oct. 9, 2009, and he told them the trio admitted to him that there were personal purchases but that those purchases had been reimbursed and copies of the checks were attached to the appropriate invoices. Efforts to reach OConnor were not immediately successful Wednesday afternoon. Efforts to reach attorneys for the other two defendants also were unsuccessful. Investigators said they interviewed Sult on Oct. 4, 2010. She admitted buying the headlight, and placed $7.18 in petty cash to cover the cost including tax adding that she handles the petty cash account. She also told investigators that OConnor advised her and the Boices after the allegations arose that anyone making personal purchases using authority accounts should reimburse the accounts by writing a check. Sult said she later wrote a check to cover the headlight, but had no receipt for the money she earlier placed in the account, which did not

From page 1A Commerce Department also revised downward its estimate for growth from this January through March, to just 1.1 percent from its earlier estimate of 1.8 percent. It means that for the rst half of the year, the economy lumbered along at an anemic annual growth rate of 1.4 percent. Over the past three quarters, the

Horlacher girls win 10-11 state crown


MIKE KILCOYNE
For The Times Leader

EXTON The chants were screamed, the bats were loud, and the tears of joy and sadness were all in full effect on Wednesday night in the 10-11 year old softball state championship game. The Bob Horlacher Little League

All-Stars faced the Exton Little League All-Stars at Meadowbrook Manor Park in a highly anticipated game as Horlacher looked to repeat as state champs. After an explosive rst inning by both squads, the repeat was earned as Horlacher steadied the ship and won 8-2. Its denitely hard to repeat,

Horlacher manager Doug Jones said. We knew what it took. It was a lot of work and just glad it went our way. The game certainly went Jones way after his team scored eight unanswered runs. However, the home team on the scoreboard dug themselves in a hole to begin the game being down 2-0. Extons Mackenzie Thompson started the inning with a single over

the rst basemans head. The following batter, Brooke Espenshade, knocked a long y ball to center eld, resulting in a triple and the lead at 1-0. Espenshade scored on the next play as Horlachers second baseman, Mackayla Quick, was unable to handle Cameron Trotters ground ball, See HORLACHER| 4B

Front Row Motorsports gets a taste of success

New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez could be facing a lifetime ban from Major League Baseball, according to a source.

Front Row Motorsports drivers David Ragan, David Gilliland and Josh Wise all sit outside the top 25 in points in NASCARs top division, but the team is still riding high three months after the two Davids nished rst and second in the May 5 Aarons 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. The three roll into Pocono Raceway for this Sundays GoBowling.com 400 NASCAR race with hopes for decent nishes but knowing that, unlike the big money teams, their path to Victory Lane isnt quite as easy. For Ragan, who captured his second career win, the victory was proof he has what it takes to win whether its with a major big-dollar team like Roush Racing or a smaller team like Front Row. For Front Row Motorsports, it proved that smaller teams not only can compete in NASCAR but when the situation presents itself, those teams can win. Ragan, 27, who drives the No. 34 Taco Bell Ford, said the win at Talladega ranks higher on his list of victories than the rst win he ever registered in the series top circuit when he took the checkered ag at Daytona in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona in July 2011. The win at Talladega is my biggest win. I think just winning a rst time race win for Front Row Motorsports kind of someone that wasnt expected to win was a great story, a one-two nish. My win at Daytona with UPS and Roush was certainly a big day for me but youre expected to win in equipment like that and so to get an unexpected win just shows that we have a lot of passion, we have a lot of desire and we work extremely hard to run as best we can. Ragan said getting the victory does put pressure on the team but, I dont know that anyone expects us to repeat anytime soon but we always put a lot of pressure on ourselves to win. After you win one you kind of show everyone that you can win and thats half the battle sometimes. The one-two nish Wise, who drives the No. 35 MDS Transport Ford, nished 19th after a blown tire on the last lap gave the low-money operation big-dollar exposure and gave everyone at the teams shop in Statesville, N.C. a big morale boost.

MLB
From page 1B unclear and a permanent ban could be shortened by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz to about 200 games, the person said. The number of players likely to be disciplined stood at 14 Wednesday. Front and center is Rodriguez, baseballs highest-paid player and the most prominent one linked in media reports over the past seven months to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida antiaging clinic that allegedly distributed banned performanceenhancing drugs. The Yankees expected Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement. Even if he is banned from baseball, there is precedent for a shortened penalty: When pitcher Steve Howe was given a lifetime ban in 1992 in his seventh suspension for drug or alcohol use, an arbitrator reduced the penalty to 119 days. A three-time MVP, Rodriguez acknowledged four years ago that he used performance-enhancing substances while with Texas from 200103 but repeatedly has denied using them since. Hes been sidelined all season since hip surgery in January and then a quadriceps strain during a minor league rehabilitation assignment in July. The Yankees say hell start another rehab Friday Double-A Trenton appeared to be the likely destination. Hopefully Alex will be back shortly thereafter, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. Rodriguez didnt stop to talk with reporters after his workout Wednesday at the teams minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. At rst, MLB and the union thought talks on the Biogenesis probe could be completed by Friday, but negotiations to avoid grievances are likely to push back announcements until at least Saturday or Sunday. Others accused in media reports of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis include a trio of 2013 All-Stars: Texas outelder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Most of the players face 50-game bans as rst offenders. Both sides felt urgency to complete the process because by the middle of next week, teams will have fewer than 50 games left. And that would force players to complete suspensions during the playoffs or at the start of next season. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski protected against a possible suspension of Peralta by acquiring slickelding inelder Jose Iglesias from Boston in a three-team trade Tuesday night. If it were a 15-day thing, like a typical injury, I think we could have comfortably dealt with it with the players we already have, Dombrowski said Wednesday. But when you start to talk about 50 days and a possible playoff run, we feel better going ahead with Jose. While MLB told the union which players it intends to suspend, it hasnt issued formal notices of discipline. Because of that, the countdown hasnt started under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement, which says the suspensions are effective on the third business day after the notice is issued. The sides also havent decided whether suspensions for rst-time offenders who challenge the penalty can be announced before an arbitration decision. If some stars knew their seasons were about to be cut short, they werent letting on Wednesday, at least publicly. I cant talk about nothing right now. Just wait for the news, Cabrera said Wednesday before playing against Cincinnati. Peralta thinks he shouldnt be on the list of players linked to Biogenesis. Its wrong, he said. But whatever happens, I need to ght and try to move on. Toronto outelder Melky Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal were all suspended for 50 games last year for positive tests for elevated testosterone. MLB informed the union they wont receive additional discipline for that violation, two people familiar with the probe said. They also spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Nothings been told to me, Melky Cabrera said. I served my suspension last year, but MLB has never told me that its OK now. Im seeing it in the press, but I dont know. Texas was unable to nd a replacement bat to ll a void a suspension of Cruz would create. I dont think anybodys comfortable losing a signicant part of your club, but its out of our control, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. We explored some deal like that. They just didnt come to a head. It wasnt for lack of interest or lack of effort. It was more lack of supply and lack of t, really.

HORLACHER
From page 1B early lead at 2-0. All year long, weve struggled in the rst inning defensively. Right off the bat today we got into the rst inning issues with a couple of dropped balls and didnt get out of the inning quick, so I was nervous, Jones said. The worrying didnt last long for the skipper as his players responded as powerful as ever. The girls took the plate in the rst inning and there was no doubt that they were here, Jones said. Leadoff batter Faith Jones began the barrage with a single to right eld. Erin Dunn followed and safely made it to rst after an error by the rst baseman. Jones was able to run to third base on the play. Horlacher rst baseman Sara Kuderka bunted straight to the pitcher, but the throw was low, allowing Kuderka to reach base and Jones to score. Cleanup hitter Hope Jones walked to load the bases for Delaney Romanchick. Romanchick grounded out, scoring Dunn, before star of the night Megan Straley doubled to right eld, bringing in Kuderka and Jones for a 4-2 lead. The nal run of the inning came after Straley moved to third on a groundout by Mackayla Quick and then ran home on a passed ball. In the beginning, I felt really condent that we could do it. In the end, we felt really good about ourselves, Straley said. With seven total runs scored in the rst inning and Horlacher leading 5-2, the rest of the game was

Good sponsorship relations is important for a smaller team but the publicity that comes with winning a race is one of the best selling points for any team, even more so for the smaller teams.

lopsided. We made mistakes and they capitalized on them, and thats why they won, Exton manager Greg Espenshade said. In the bottom of the third, Horlacher expanded the lead to four. Pitcher Hope Jones led

off with a single up the middle. Romanchick then moved her to second after a groundout. Straley was at it again with another RBI groundout after Jones took third on a passed ball. The bottom of the fth brought more joy for the

Section 5 champions as Horlachers Dunn started the inning off with a walk. Kuderka bunted her over and Hope Jones followed with her second walk of the night. The two bolted to second and third base after Extons rst baseman

Ogden
From page 1B formally become the teams rst entrant into the Hall of Fame. Hes going to be the Ravens golden child forever, said Edwin Mulitalo, who played guard alongside Ogden for eight years. How appropriate that Newsome will serve as Ogdens presenter at the Hall of Fame ceremony. He brought me in to Baltimore, Ogden said. I could always go talk to him, be honest with him. Hes just one of the people that I really respect in the business. It just kind of made sense to me. Newsome, in turn, owes a debt of gratitude to Ogden for justifying his decision in the Ravens inaugural draft. Although the team was in dire need of a running back and already had two solid offensive tackles, Newsome chose Ogden because he was the highest-ranked player on Baltimores board. That philosophy remains in place today and has enabled the Ravens general manager to produce two Super Bowl champions. Newsome often considers what might have happened if he picked Phillips, who totaled 35 games for three different teams over a dismal three-year span. I could say 17 years later, I probably wouldnt have this job. Its as simple as that, Newsome said. Lawrence had some productive years, but he didnt pan out. And I dont know if we would have been able to provide the structure he needed. We felt like we could have, but I dont know if wed have been able to do it. As a rookie, Ogden played left guard between veteran tackles Orlando Brown and Tony Jones. In his second season, Ogden became an immovable force at left tackle and remained there the rest of his career. Ogden was a star on the eld and a leader within the locker room and on the sideline. He didnt have the bluster of the Ravens other rstround pick in 1996, linebacker Ray Lewis, but the big man showed enough emotion to be noticed by his teammates especially after being asked to repeatedly drop back to protect the passer. He was a great pass blocker, and he was a very technical player, Mulitalo said. But man, he loved to run block. There were times he got frustrated on the sideline, and most of the time it was because we were getting a little pass-happy. Whenever we switched to the run, he was like a little kid. Maybe the most fun playing next to him was when we actually run-blocked. He took pride in doing that.

Legion
From page 1B leadoff hitter and center elder. They sure did. Down to their nal out, Greater Pittston created one nal bit of drama by lling the bases and putting the potential tying runs in scoring position. Big-bodied Chuck Bressler, hitting out of the No. 8 spot in the batting order, churned his 6-foot1, 210-pound frame hard to rst base and was safe when his ineld bouncer was bobbled for an error. Pinch hitter Tyler Loftus then drew a walk, and Walkowiak followed with a hard single to center eld for his second hit of the day. In a one-run game, Greater Pittston manager Jerry Ranieli may have pinch-ran for Bressler and sent the runner around third on the hit. But trailing by two, there was no need to chance it especially with the top hitters in Greater Pittstons lineup waiting for a crack. But with the bases jammed with anxious Greater Pittston players, Rousseau induced a game-ending grounder, sending Blackhawk into todays losers bracket game and Greater Pittston home. But it proved our conference can play with anybody in the state of Pennsylvania, said Ranieli, whose team nished 23-10 with a pair of two-run state losses, to Twin Valley in extra innings Tuesday and then to Blackhawk. Im so proud. Two outs in the ninth inning, nobody on base, and all of a sudden, they had a chance to win. Thats what makes me proud. Greater Pittston grew even prouder in the fth inning, taking a 2-1 lead by using the speed and smarts that earned the team composed mainly of Wyoming Area and Pittston Area High School players a spot in the eight-team state eld in the rst place. Walkowiak slammed a two-out single to left eld, then raced to second and continued to third base when Jordan Zezza hustled out an ineld hit to shortstop. When the throw from rst base sailed past an uncovered thirdbase bag, Walkowiak raced home with Greater Pittstons rst - and only - lead of the tournament. I did feel good, Walkowiak said. But I knew the game wasnt over. I knew it was going to be hard for them to come back in the game, because its difcult for a team once you get down in this tournament. Greater Pittston got down early, when Blackhawks Joe Campagna ripped his rst of three singles, continued to second base on an outeld error, and eventually scored on a two-out ineld single by Joey Lopez in the rst inning.

IN BRIEF

Severe injuries rose every season from 2009

Rosters to be slated by draft


NEW YORK The NFL Pro Bowl rosters for next year will be selected in a draft by team captains, with Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice assisting as alumni captains. The NFL will abandon the its old AFC vs. NFC format that has been in place since 1971. The league says Wednesday that fan voting will determine the players in the draft pool. The draft will be televised by the NFL Network on Jan. 22. The game will be played Jan. 26 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.

PRO BOWL

Sure didnt take long for some signicant injuries at NFL training camps Philadelphia Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin, Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta, Denver Broncos center Dan Koppen, to name only three. Immediately, some theories developed: Too much offseason work. Not enough. New labor-contract rules limiting padded practices to one per day, while generally seen as helpful, are hardly a cure-all. Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher thinks some guys get hurt in camp because players are trying so hard to impress coaches and earn a roster spot or a starting job. You know now coaches are really evaluating you, said Fletcher, whose teammate, second-year linebacker Keenan Robinson, tore his left pectoral muscle on Day 1 of training camp. Youve got guys with a competitive spirit and theyre looking at it, like, My jobs on the line. I need to make a play

and not realizing theres going to be times to show that coaches that you can hit, you can make plays in preseason games, but you dont want to have a guy go down because of something that happened in practice. Whatever the cause, severe injuries are increasing in the NFL lately. The number of injuries that forced a player to miss at least eight days jumped every year from 2009 to 2012, according to an analysis of NFL injury data released Wednesday. The study by Edgeworth Economics, based on information collected by the league, also shows that players with concussions missed an average of 16 days last season, up from only four days in 2005, while the length of time out for other types of injuries has been steadier. Severe injuries are increasing in frequency, Jesse David, the economist overseeing the study, said in a telephone interview from Pasadena, Calif. I know thats a very important issue for both the players association and the league trying to tweak the rules and the equipment to deal with that. But despite everything theyve been doing,

its still going on. David said his company has done consulting for the NFL Players Association in the past and received the data for this study from the union, but wasnt paid by it. The study says there were 1,095 instances of injuries sidelining a player for eight or more days in 2009 including practices and games in the preseason, regular season and postseason and that climbed to 1,272 in 2010, 1,380 in 2011, and 1,496 in 2012. Thats an increase of 37 percent. The way I look at it, really, is that injuries are part of the game, said cornerback Kyle Wilson of the New York Jets, who lost another cornerback, Aaron Berry, for the season when he tore a knee ligament on the rst day of practice last week. Injuries happen sometimes. Theyre unfortunate, but it really is just part of the game. Concussions have become a farmore-noticed part of football in recent years, with more discussion of the links between head injuries and brain disease, hundreds of lawsuits brought by thousands of former players, and rules

First-round pick gets on field


CORTLAND, N.Y. New York Jets rst-round draft pick Dee Milliner participated in some drills as he joined his teammates on the practice eld for the rst time in training camp. Milliner signed a four-year deal with the Jets after a brief holdout, and says his surgically repaired right shoulder felt great. He has not fully practiced since being drafted by New York in April after having his shoulder operated on in March. The former Alabama star did some positional and one-on-one drills Wednesday, but did not participate in 11-on-11 team drills. Milliner is unsure when hell be able to fully practice, but says he had no problems with his shoulder. Milliner is expected to compete with Kyle Wilson for the starting spot opposite Antonio Cromartie, vacated when the Jets traded Darrelle Revis.

BRONCOS

Cornerback out with ankle injury


ENGLEWOOD, COLO. Denver Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was helped off the eld after hurting his left ankle in a drill Wednesday at training camp. Asked his level of concern over the injury after practice, coach John Fox said, Not overly. But anytime they miss time, Im concerned. Guard Justin Boren also was taken off with a big toe injury. The Broncos have already had quite a few injuries so far in camp. Center Dan Koppen was lost for the season with a knee injury last weekend and rst-round pick Sylvester Williams left the eld on Monday with a left knee ailment. Williams was on the eld Wednesday, but didnt participate in any drills. Tight end Jacob Tamme (right quad) also sat out practice.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. Many of the questions regarding Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams sore foot can nally be put to rest now that hes back at training camp. The soreness is affecting Williams left foot. After being examined by team doctors, Williams traveled to visit North Carolina-based foot specialist, Robert Anderson. And rest and treatment is all the player will require to allow the injury to heal in what could take a matter of days. Those were the updates provided by coach Doug Marrone on Wednesday in clearing up two days of questions and speculation

regarding the $100-million pass-rushers injury and whereabouts. Our medical staff, with additional consultation with Dr. Anderson determined that the best course of action was rest and treatment, Marrone said. Theres no timetable for his return, but its day by day. Marrones comments came after Williams returned to the practice eld for the rst time in three days at the teams training camp facility in suburban Rochester. Williams opened practice working out on his own in strength in conditioning drills, and then spent the last part of the session watching from the sideline. Williams had returned to camp Tuesday night

after being examined by Anderson. He had not been spotted since Sunday, when he was held out of the teams camp-opening practice after complaining about a sore foot. Williams said he felt ne, and at no point did he fear the soreness developing into something potentially serious. No, Im not worried, man. I just think its not that serious, he said. I appreciated the concern, but Im all right. He added he sought out a second opinion from Anderson on the Bills advice. There wasnt much else Williams said he was allowed to discuss about the injury. He referred most questions to Marrone, citing a team policy that lim-

its players from discussing injuries. Williams foot saga had become a distraction at camp, in part because Marrone provided few details about the injury regarding his most highprole player. On Tuesday, Marrone ran out of patience with reporters by announcing he wouldnt answer any more questions about Williams until he received a medical report from team doctors. Williams said he was aware of what Marrone had said, and stuck by his coach. Im pretty sure he handled it, he said. The head man, whatever he says, goes. Im not going to sit here and step on anybody elses toes.

No big deal, Jordan says. Its pretty simple: You go down there, cover the kickoff and tackle the guy with the ball, he says. But not everybody wants to do it.

LATROBE When William Gay calls the Pittsburgh Steelers his family and the organization his home, the seventh-year defensive back presumably isnt being literal. Tell that to his actual family. Apparently, they are. Even as Gay spent last season with the Arizona Cardinals, those closest to Gay aligned their loyalties with the black and gold over their esh and blood. My family wouldnt let me get away from the Steelers, said Gay, who has returned from a one-year so-called vacation to rejoin the franchise that drafted him in 2007. They still ew the Steelers ag up in front of the house. They didnt switch to (Cardinals colors) red and black. I told them, Im not with the Steelers no more. They didnt care nothing about that. Now Gay that is back with his football family, his real family can root for him again. They were pumped when I signed back, Gay said between training-camp workouts Wednesday at St. Vincent College. I didnt even get a chance to tell them. As soon as they saw it, they started calling. Gay expressed similar enthusiasm in rejoining a team in which he won the 2009 Super Bowl with and then started for in another Super Bowl game two years later. Gay has played out of a variety of spots in the defensive backeld and during all 104 regular-season and playoff games his teams have played during his NFL career. He has played 96 consecutive regularseason games, the longest active streak among cornerbacks. No one knows more about Gays dependability and versatility than do the Steelers, who signed him to a one-year contract in March less than one year after hed agreed to join the Cardinals after spending his rst ve NFL seasons with Pittsburgh. Right from when I rst signed back, it just felt like home, Gay said. Now being in training camp, being in Latrobe, is just proving that point. I know where everything is at on campus, just getting the golf cart coming here (to the cafeteria) to eat dinner, lunch, breakfast, all that stuff feels normal to me. It feels good to be back to something thats normal. To Gay, playing any number of positions in the secondary seems normal. Like many young defensive backs, he started out in the dime and nickel packages during his rookie season out of Louisville. The following year, he made his rst four career starts at left cornerback opposite longtime Steeler Ike Taylor. In 2009, he entered the season as the starter, but a mediocre Steelers season had him back in a nickel role by the end of the 9-7 campaign. Gay played largely out of the slot in 2010 before leaving as a free agent that offseason to sign a reported two-year, $3.2 million contract with Arizona. Gay started 15 of the 16 games

PSU reaches milestone with end of transfer rule


AP Sports Writer

GENARO C. ARMAS

STATE COLLEGE The NCAA rule connected to Penn States sanctions that had the earliest impact on the football program is set to expire today. The rule allowing Nittany Lions to transfer without having to sit out a year at a new school elapses Aug. 1, according to school ofcials. On that front at least, Penn State returns to a level play-

ing eld with other FBS schools a year after the NCAA levied its landmark penalties for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Emotionally, thats a big chunk out of the way, athletic director Dave Joyner said Wednesday. The football team starts preseason, the beginning of August, and the transfer rule is not there, so thats one piece done. Preseason camp begins Monday. Penn States

strengths in 2013 include receiver, tight end and running back; a veteran secondary; and the trio of proven impact players in the front seven of defensive end Deion Barnes, and linebackers Glenn Carson and Mike Hull. You know, a lot of things that we talked about last year when I was here, its water under the bridge, coach Bill OBrien said two weeks ago at Big Ten media days in Chicago. But at the same time Ive

said this over and over again, our staff, myself were thankful for our players. Our players are tough. Theyre resilient. Theyre good kids. OBrien hopes to build on an 8-4 season in 2012, considered a resounding success given the unprecedented circumstances that faced the program weeks before training camp. Still, other sanctions remain in place. The requirement to reduce the scholarship roster to 65 players 20

fewer than allowed for four seasons starts in 2014, though OBrien has already started working with a pared-down scholarship roster. Penn State has added recruiting emphasis on its walk-on program to help replenish depth. Three seasons remaining on a four-year bowl ban, with Penn State postseason-eligible again in the 2016 season. Last years successful season has built hope among fans that the

team can stay competitive through the period in a Big Ten division that includes powerhouse Ohio State. OBrien remains successful on the recruiting trail, including the arrivals of promising freshmen in potential starting quarterback Christian Hackenberg and tight end Adam Breneman. The sanctions were handed down July 23, 2012, and the transfer waiver essentially set up a college version of NFL free agency

as other schools tried to cherry-pick Nittany Lions. In the end, about 10 players took advantage of the rule in the period until the start of 2012 training camp, most notably star tailback Silas Redd (Southern California). A few others have left the team since then, including backup quarterback Steven Bench (South Florida), though those players have left primarily for other reasons such as playing time.

The Luzerne County Chaos softball team will be competing in the Babe Ruth Softball Little League World Series in Alapaka, Fla., beginning today after being crowned the Mid Atlantic Regional Champions. The softball team consists of 12-year-old girls from Waname, Plymouth, Ashley and Hanover Townships. They went undefeated in the district championship tournament, then traveled to King of Prussia for the State championships where they outscored their opponents 65-2, and nally went 6-0 in regionals play to be crowned Mid Atlantic champs, defeating teams from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Not in a million years did we expect to win this, said team manager Tim Wren. A lot of these kids dont have the means to get down to Florida so we had to run around like nuts to get people to sponsor the team so we would have enough money to go to these tournaments. According to Wren some of these girls come from families that can not afford much, but luck-

ily the Babe Ruth League is helping to pay for the travel arrangements for the coach and his squad, just not for food or the seven night motel stay. The league provides airfare for the 13 players and two coaches and thats it, said Wren. They dont cover the cost of food, the motel rooms, or for the parents. Melissa Wren, coach Wrens wife, said the team has received sponsorships from countless groups, organizations and community members to help the team reach in their travels to Florida. We have sponsors from the Newport Township Womans Community and Organization Group, Pizza Bella, Nanticoke Fire Department and then some, said Wren. The community really came together and pulled through. People have been nice and appreciative because the is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids. The opportunity to go to Florida like this is amazing. Everyone is really committed. The Luzerne County Chaos will leave for Florida July 31 and will be playing against Regional Champions from Florida, Alabama, Kansas and Washington.

ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND The cheering jarred Inbee Park from her sleep. The 10-year-old went downstairs to nd her father in front of the television in the middle of the night in Seoul as he watched Se Ri Pak become the rst South Korean to win the U.S. Womens Open. Within a week, Park wrapped her hands around a golf club for the rst time, not knowing that it one day would lead her to the brink of history. They were doing replays every day on TV, her hitting the shot out of the water with her socks off, Park said. It was

cool to see her white feet. I didnt know what was happening, but I thought it was really cool to be seen playing golf and being on TV. Everybody was talking about it. Golf looked really fun. Fifteen years later, everyone is talking about Inbee Park. A win this week in the Womens British Open at St. Andrews, of all places would make the 25-year-old Park the rst golfer to win four majors in one season. Arnold Palmer created the modern Grand Slam, winning four professional majors in one year. Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam got halfway home before their pursuit of it ended. No one has ever had a bet-

ter shot at it than Park, who has won three LPGA Tour majors this year. She is a heavy favorite when the Open begins today, just as Woods was at St. Andrews when he won to complete the career Grand Slam in 2000. Park already has won six times this year half of those wins at majors and has earned more than $2 million. No one else in womens golf has crossed the $1 million mark. I think she can do it, Pak said Wednesday, a Hall-of-Famer revered for cutting a path for so many South Koreans. S h e s dominating. Her game is strong. Her condence is strong. All the attention is on her. Everyone thinks she can do it.

Woods and Mickey Wright are the only players who have held four professional majors at the same time, both done over two seasons. Woods won the U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship and Masters in succes-

sion in 2000-01. Wright, who Ben Hogan once said had the best swing he ever saw, won the U.S. Womens Open, LPGA Championship, Titleholders and Western Open over the 1961-62 seasons.

RailRiders drop another one to Indians


INDIANAPOLIS Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will be glad when it returns home on Saturday. Not only will that mean the team is back in its friendly connes, it also signals that it will no longer have to see Indianapolis. The RailRiders were held in check once again by the Indians Wednesday afternoon falling 3-1 at Victory Field and losing for the fth time in the six games the teams have played this season. The squads will close out their season series today and Friday which also wraps up the RailRiders eight-game road trip. With the loss on Wednesday, SWB also dropped its third straight game and fell three games under the .500 mark at 54-57 this season. The Indians used a pair of home runs to win the contest. The rst one came in the bottom of the second when Russ Canzler, a Hazleton native, got the rally started with a leadoff walk against SWB starter David Huff (4-5). Huff got the next two outs, but then served up a two-run shot to catcher Lucas May to put Indianapolis in front 2-0. Andrew Lambos solo blast in the sixth increased the Indians lead to 3-0. Meanwhile, Indianapolis starter Graham Godfrey, who entered the game not lasting more than six innings since July 9 and holding an ERA of 7.29 at home, stied the RailRiders tossing six scoreless frames and only letting an SWB baserunner get to second base twice in improving to 8-7. The RailRiders put a rally together in the top of the ninth loading the bases with one out. They plated just one run on a RBI hit by Brendan Harris. But Alberto Gonzalez grounded into a doubleplay to end the game. Tonights game is at 7:05 with SWB right-hander Caleb Cotham (3-5, 6.75) squaring off against Indianapolis International League All-Star Kris Johnson (9-4, 2.44). Notes: Randy Ruiz extended his hitting streak to eight games with a ninth-inning single The RailRiders elimination number in the division is now at 27 after the loss and they are six games behind I.L. North leader Rochester. In the race for the Wild Card, they are ve games behind Pawtucket with an elimination number of 29.

claiming her third victory of the world championships and justifying the decision to cut back her program in Barcelona. Were coming down the mountain now, Franklin said. She had been scheduled to swim two races in the evening session: the seminals of the 50 backstroke, followed about 20 minutes later by the nal of the 200 free. But Franklin and her coach, Todd Schmitz, decided it was best to drop the non-Olympic event so she could focus on a race thats been the focus of so much work since she just missed a medal at the London Olympics. Franklin nished fourth last summer a hundredth of a second off the podium. This time, she was the one touching ahead of everyone else.

We decided that maybe the risk kind of outdid the rewards, Franklin said. Im really happy with the decision to scratch and just do this. Initially, with the 50 back added to the seven events she competed in at London, Franklin had a chance to match Michael Phelps as the only swimmers to win that many events at a major championship. Phelps, of course, won eight golds at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. After a tough double on Tuesday and the 13th-best time in the morning preliminaries, Schmitz persuaded Franklin to scratch the 50 back, an event she swims mainly for fun though she did take bronze at the 2011 worlds in Shanghai. That will leave me with seven events, Franklin said. Only seven, someone asked kiddingly.

United Statess Missy Franklin smiles as she holds the gold medal she won in the Womens 200m freestyle final at the FINA Swimming World Championships in Barcelona, Spain, Wednesday.

Just the seven, she replied, with a big laugh. Schmitz said a lot of factors went into his decision, including the short break between races and the long walk from the warmup pool set up under a tent outside the Palau Sant Jordi to the competition pool inside the arena. I really just felt the best decision for my athlete was to take her out of it, Schmitz said. Ive been her coach for 11 years. She knows when I make a decision, I try to have all the information I possibly can So I told her, I dont think this will benet us. And she said, OK.

IN BRIEF

Credit company masterful in Q 2

The decision by Comcast Corp., the countrys largest cable company, to buy General Electric out of the NBCUniversal business looks like a smart one, as the media conglomerate posted strong results for the second quarter. It was the rst quarter in which Philadelphia-based Comcast owned all of NBCUniversal, the parent of the NBC broadcast network and Universal Studios. Comcast bought control of NBCUniversal in 2011, with an agreement to buy the remaining GE stake over time. It sped up the schedule this year, buying out GE on March 28 for $16.7 billion. NBCUniversals results are more volatile than Comcasts slow-and-steady cable business. In the second quarter, it posted a 9 percent increase in revenue to $6 billion, well above analyst estimates at $5.75 billion, as polled by FactSet. Coupled with continued strong performance in the Comcast cable business, NBCUniversal helped push overall results beyond Wall Street expectations. Comcast earned $1.73 billion, or 73 cents per share, in the April to June period.

US judge strikes Feds cap on debitswipefees


AP Business Writer

MARCY GORDON WASHINGTON A federal judge has struck down a rule setting a cap on the fees that banks can charge merchants for handling debit card purchases, saying the Federal Reserve didnt have the authority to set the limit in 2011. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon on Wednesday handed a victory to a coalition of retail groups. They had sued the Fed over its setting the cap at an average of about 24 cents per debit-card transaction. The previously unregulated swipe fee averaged 44 cents. The Fed initially proposed a 12-cent cap, and

the retailers had argued that the Fed buckled under pressure from bank lobbyists when it set the cap higher. The Fed now must craft a new rule. The current one will remain in effect in the meantime. A Fed spokesman said there was no immediate comment on the ruling. The cap is the rst-ever limit on debit card fees. Before it took effect in October 2011, banks had negotiated such fees with merchants. A big chain like Starbucks would likely get a better rate than a local coffee shop because it handles more customers. The fees were typically based on a percentage of the purchase price. The Fed rule was called for

by the 2010 nancial overhaul law, which was enacted in response to the 2008 crisis. But Leon said in his ruling that the Fed disregarded Congresss intent in passing the law by inappropriately inating all debit-card transaction fees by billions of dollars and failing to provide merchants with multiple unafliated networks for each debit-card transaction. The retailers lawsuit maintained that the cap is an unreasonable interpretation that exceeds the authority given to the Fed by the 2010 law. It also asserted that the Fed wrongly interpreted a provision of the law that requires that merchants have a choice of which bank network handles their transactions.

The retailers complained that the Fed had deviated from the laws intent by factoring expenses into the cap that the law didnt allow. They maintained that the Fed reversed its earlier view that the only costs that should be considered were those involved in the authorization, clearing and settlement of a transaction. Instead, the suit said, the Fed added costs such as losses from fraud that were outside the scope of the law. The Fed in June 2011 formally set the cap for what banks can charge merchants at 21 cents for each debitcard transaction, plus an additional 0.05 percent of the purchase price to cover the cost of fraud protection.

Mastercard, the payments processing company, reported a 19 percent increase in its second-quarter prot as its purchase volumes increased. The results topped Wall Street expectations. The company, based in Purchase, N.Y., earned $848 million, or $6.96 a share, in the second quarter. Thats up from $700 million, or $5.56 a share, a year ago. Revenue rose 15 percent, to $2.1 billion from $1.8 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings of $6.31 a share on revenue of $2 billion.

ATHENS, Greece The International Monetary Fund said Greece had made exceptional progress in stabilizing its economy and remains on course to emerge from a near sixyear recession in 2014, despite missing targets to ax state jobs and the threat of a $14.6 billion gap in bailout nancing. In a 207-page report published Wednesday, the Washington D.C.based institution also cautioned that Greece needs to make major structural reforms so its economy can grow in the long-term.

new job and will be red. The IMF report follows the payment of

the latest 2.5 billion euro installment of bailout loans to Greece

from its European partners, in addition to which the fund contributed some 1.7 billion euros. However, one IMF Executive Board member from Brazil abstained from approving the IMF payment, claiming in a statement that recent developments in Greece conrm some of our worst fears and that implementation has been unsatisfactory in almost all areas. The country has been surviving on rescue loans from the IMF and other eurozone countries since 2010, when it lost access to long-term debt markets. Austerity measures demanded in return for the $319 billion bailout program have hammered the economy and seen unemployment surge to 27 percent. Greeces annual economic output is around a fth smaller than when it entered recession in 2008.

Surging Facebook climbs past its $38 IPO price

NEW YORK Facebooks stock passed its $38 IPO price for the rst time since its rocky public debut last May, temporarily crossing a symbolic hurdle that has eluded it for more than a year. Shares of Facebook Inc. increased 1.2 percent to $38.08 in morning trading Wednesday. Thats the highest the stock has traded since the companys highly anticipated initial

public offering ended with a thud. Its stock price retreated later in the day, closing at $36.80. The stock was up by more than 50 percent since last week. The worlds biggest online social network has been on a roll since reporting stronger-than-expected earnings on July 24. Investors are especially upbeat about its fast-growing mobile advertising revenue. Facebooks ability to grow mobile revenue was one of the biggest concerns in the weeks leading up

to its IPO last year. Investors were worried that its ad business was not migrating to mobile gadgets as quickly as its user base. Facebook urged patience. In the April-June quarter, Facebook derived 41 percent of its ad revenue from mobile advertising, or about $656 million of $1.6 billion. Thats up from zero in the spring of 2012 and from 30 percent in the JanuaryMarch quarter of this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last week that the company has made good prog10-YR T-NOTE 2.58%

Research firm eMarketer expects Facebook to increase its mobile advertising revenue more than fourfold to more than $2 billion this year. This would give the Menlo Park, Calif., company a 13 percent share of the global mobile ad market, up from about 5 percent last year.

COMMENTARY

For one fallen man, transformations are physical and spiritual


PHIL TREXLER
Akron Beacon Journal

AKRON, Ohio Anyone can spot Carmine Robinson as he drives through the roughest sections of Akron, Ohio, inside his ashy SUV with its glistening 24-inch rims spinning off sunshine. He could be on his way home, or to the bank, or on the lookout for new customers. But make no mistake, Robinson gets noticed. Now its for a different reason. He welcomes the attention. Hes made it now. His transformation, while not complete, is his trophy. His Transformations barbershop, with his Chevrolet Tahoe parked outside, is his mantle, rmly standing inside the Village of New Seasons, a contemporary retail center. Hes been sober seven years, married for the rst time and serving as a mentor to others with the same struggles that bogged him down for so many years. It wasnt always like this for Robinson. Some 60 or so times in his life, police noticed him and slapped on the cuffs. Three times, a judge took notice and shipped him off to prison. Other times, his friends and family noticed that he was high, drunk or homeless. Then it stopped, like a rock, hitting a wall. I was sick and tired of living in the streets, Robinson recalled. I wanted to stop as much as I wanted to take my next breath. And all of this happened to me for one reason: I wanted it. The guardian angel Saddled with a felony record when he left prison a little more than three years ago, Robinson found refuge and a mentor in the Rev. Michael Starks and his SLAAP ministry, Start Living and Acting Positive. Robinson, 43, is one of a number of men and women aided by Starks and community-based programs designed to turn around lives. Hes now sending a message to other men, a sign of hope, but a call for work and responsibility. Weve got to be fathers to our kids, he said. We have to step up and be kings of our families. Weve got to be fathers to kids that want help. Weve got to teach men to be fathers and come back to their families, because theyre hurting. For Robinson, his transformation came as soon as he landed back in Akron after his last prison stint in 2009. He

came home as always, but this time, he took a different turn, away from the neighborhood and temptations that dogged him for so long. His rap sheet is immense, four pages of cases on the

county clerk of courts website for offenses ranging from petty crimes to drug trafcking. His home life wasnt wrought with trouble. He came from a sound, God-fearing family, with a father and minister mother

and two siblings. His home life contradicted what Robinson was doing to himself with drugs and alcohol. You dont expect that, said his mother, Minister Betty Robinson. He was mischie-

vous like most boys. When I did nd out about his drug use, I didnt believe it. But no matter what he did, my prayer was always, God, take care of him. Robinson went to Buchtel High School and had his rst son in 1989 while still in school. To support his son, he joined the Marines, spent three years in the service and received an honorable discharge. He came home to Akron and the temptations of the streets. Marijuana, cocaine and alcohol were his temptresses. Like many addicts, his day was spent feeding his needs, disregarding the needs of his family, he said. He had four more children by 2000. Back then was real tough for me, he said. I was going through a sense of hopelessness. I know I had a family to help me, but I was too ashamed to ask for their help. I gave up on me. He worked as a cook off and on, but his days, he said, were lled with busting a move, getting what I had to get that day, be it drugs or alcohol. Like cocaine, jobs came and went. At times, Robinson found himself homeless. Other times, he was incarcerated. When hed return from jail or prison, there was always a time of positive behavior. Failure, however, was always lurking. Rock bottom came when he just got tired of the run, he said. He embarked on his transformation from street troublemaker to entrepreneur. He started it with God and he credits his pastor, the Rev. Dr. R.A. Vernon of The Word Church, for the foundation of his turnaround. Hair is redemptive From there, it was church and one haircut at a time. Finally, he said, he had a blueprint or an exit strategy for when he left prison. Too many others lack a plan when returning home and often fail, he said. Those coming out of prison also have to nd the right circle of family and friends. A person has to want to do it in his mind, Robinson said, as he worked on the hair of a friends child. I was just tired of not taking care of my children, not having anything for my family. Eventually, he obtained a barbers license. More customers followed. Word spread. His client base grew. Now, he needed a place to land. But Robinson didnt want his shop in a run-down store front or a depressed section of town. By chance, his mother literally opened the door See TRIUMPH | 2C

Familial bonds run deep for pet parents


KATHY ANTONIOTTI
Akron Beacon Journal

Our daughters didnt know what to think the rst time I sent out Christmas cards with a photo of our dogs. After all, I never put the kids pictures on our annual holiday missives when they were young. But just like a proud new parent, I used computer technology to make my own greeting cards showcasing dogs we adopted several years ago. I wondered: Can pet owners have a bond with pets that is similar to that of a mother and child? And I am not alone in my preoccupation with my canines. It seems millions of baby boomers are lling our empty nests by replacing our children with pets. The term pet parents is commonly heard in our vernacular these days. According to a June 2013 report in Science Daily, scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna have investigated the bond between dogs and their owners and found striking similarities to the human parent-child relationship. The Vienna scientists ndings were published in the journal PLOS ONE, Science Daily reported. Just as humans have a need to establish close relationships with other people, animals too have an innate need for close ties with their own kind. But the study found that for domesticated animals, the situation is even more complex. Our animals have developed those same relationships with us. After 15,000 years of living with humans, dogs have adapted so well they have the ability to transfer the connection they would normally have with another dog to a human as their main social partner. The relationship is highly similar to the deep connection between children and their caregivers, according to recent research. A study conducted by See PET | 2C

Whats so bad about having a favorite child?


NARA SCHOENBERG
Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO Jill Smokler loves her three children equally, but that doesnt mean she doesnt have a favorite. At any given moment, she says, one of her little darlings is bound to be a little more likable than the others. Whenever Ive had an infant, that one has been the favorite for several months because theyre so sweet and theyre so precious and theyre not talking back or getting into things they shouldnt, says Smokler, a mommy blogger (scarymommy.com) and author of Motherhood Comes Naturally (and Other Vicious Lies) (Gallery Books). Sometimes the dog is my favorite child not often, but sometimes she is. Parental favoritism has gotten a fresh look in the past few years,

with books such as The Favorite Child by Ellen Weber Libby, blog posts (Admit it, you have a favorite kid. I do, at Babble.com), a reality show (Keeping Up With the Kardashians) and even TV commercials tackling the once-taboo topic. In a recent TV ad for Cars.com (slogan: Hate drama? Go to Cars.com), parents create unnecessary drama by telling their petulant post-adolescent daughter, Actually, we love your brother more than you. Instead of denying uncomfortable feelings or hiding behind parenting platitudes, the new voices on the issue are offering a matter-of-fact and at times irreverent take on parental bias. The point isnt that having a passing preference is good or bad; its that its human and can be dealt with in constructive ways. Research indicates that one-third to two-thirds of parents favor one or more children, and some informal estimates are much higher.

Athena: Arguably the ultimate daddys girl and Zeus favorite child, the goddess Athena sprang fully formed from his head and was granted the right to use his weapons even the mighty thunderbolt. Joseph: The 11th of Jacobs sons, and his fathers favorite, Joseph received the coat of many colors from his adoring dad and was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. John Quincy Adams: Groomed for greatness by his famous dad, President John Adams, he traveled to France at age 10 and became the nations sixth president. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.: The eldest of the charismatic Kennedy brothers and his flinty fathers favorite, he died in World War II. Only then did Joe Sr. focus his ambitions on JFK. Kim Kardashian: Family matriarch Kris Jenner said it on national TV and confirmed it with a lie-detector test: Kim is her favorite daughter. Asked how common it is for a parent to have a favorite, Libby, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., laughs: Universally. The problem is not that parents have a favorite, Libby adds. The problem is often when parents deny it because that makes everyone a little crazy. The second problem is when people hear the word favorite, and they get a little nervous and defensive. Favoritism doesnt have to be bad. Its what we do with it that makes it disastrous or productive.

FAMOUS FAVORITES IN LEGEND AND LIFE

The upside of having a favorite is that the child grows up feeling more condent, Libby says. But she cautions against singling out kids for special treatment, such as fewer chores or more lenient punishments, which can make them feel like theyre above the rules. Similarly, poorly handled favoritism can make it hard for a child to separate from a parent and develop his own independent identity, Libby says. Favoritism can cause problems in the childs adult relationships, because spouses and partners cant provide the same kind of off-the-charts afrmation as a doting parent. Research over several decades has linked parental favoritism (often dened as unequal treatment) to negative outcomes in childhood, including lower self-esteem and higher anxiety, according to a 2010 article in the Journal of Marriage and Family, See FAVORITE | 2C

Triumph
From page 1C to his prime location. She was inside her apartmentcomplex lobby when the property developer Paul Testa arrived. Testa couldnt get inside and Mrs. Robinson opened the door for him. They chatted briey, and Mrs. Robinson, 63, mentioned her sons need of a location for his edgling barber shop. Before long, Carmine Robinson was opening his shop in retail space below his mothers apartment. The development combines senior housing with commercial space. The project was the vision of Bishop Joey Johnson of the House of the Lord, which purchased the aging shopping center near the church several years ago. The church worked with Testa Cos. and East Akron Neighborhood Development Corp. to create the complex. Aptly named after his personal changes, Transformations is a barber shop and beauty shop serving clients of both sexes and all races. The shop sits inside a new plaza next to Henrys Acme. Just like Robinson, everything inside the shop is fresh and clean, from the red-andblack barber chairs to the large TVs on the walls. Now, when I drive by the projects or the hood or the places I used to do drugs or run around, people cant believe it, he said. I hope it gives them hope to know that I was them, I was out there once, just like them. I made it. Now, they dont have any excuse. Too often, he said, those who struggle do so because of their impatience or their own inability to work toward a goal or delay gratication. Too many men, he added, dont own their mistakes, arent fathers to their children and wont work toward a goal. I think its that the kids got a sense of you owe them something instead of working for something, he said. These kids look at stuff on the Internet or on TV, and they want it instantly. But they dont want to work for it. They have to get it quick, and they do whatever theyve got to do to get it. While he lived in transitional housing, he took a Metro bus or walked to reach his customers and their hair. For a time, his barber shop was a garage, a kitchen or someones front porch. Starks said Robinson has succeeded and stayed sober for seven years because of his spirituality, his family and a willingness to succeed while staying away from the old habits and friends that only made him homeless or put him in prison. Along the way, Robinson met and married his wife, Lisa, in 2011. Youve got to be willing to humble yourself and acclimate yourself to the fact that you are not going to have those things you desire for a time, Starks said. Because in reality, there are no shortcuts. And Carmine bought into that and stayed the course.

owner. Her study concluded that a dog will work harder for a food reward if it had its pet parent in the room, whether the owner remains silent or encourages the animal. Through a follow-up study, the scientists observed that when the owner was replaced by an unfamiliar person, the dog had little motivation to get the reward, similar to its behavior when there was no one in the room. The test concluded that the dog was only motivated to behave in a confident manner when the owner was present. The findings are the first evidence that the so-called secure base effect found in childcaregiver relationships is similarly found in dogowner relationships.

Did you know a puppy is more likely to perform for a treat if its owner is in the room?

One of the things that really surprised us is that adult dogs behave towards their caregivers like human children do, Horn was quoted in Science Daily. I suspect this is only one reason for our deep

psychological connection to our pets. It would be interesting to see a study that determines whether or not we humans have the ability to be as good as our dogs already believe we are.

co-authored by Purdue University sociology professor J. Jill Suitor. Interestingly, the article cites evidence that favoritism itself is more strongly linked to a childs psychological well-being than whether the individual child was favored or unfa-

vored. Suitor, who with Karl Pillemer of Cornell University and Megan Gilligan of Purdue, has studied the effects of parental favoritism in later life, says parents of young children probably cant avoid having preferences among their children.

But she says that making those feelings obvious can have a negative long-term effect on sibling bonds. We do know that perceptions of favoritism do seem to have a detrimental effect on relationships among adult siblings, Suitor says. There clearly is a measurable increase in tension and decrease in closeness. Ideally, Libby says, favorite-child status will rotate among children, creating a uid system in which parental preferences change according to factors such as the childrens ages, interests and interactions with their parents. That way, she says, each child gets the benet of parental recognition, and no one gets overindulged. The favorite-child issue has been explored on Keeping up With the Kardashians, with Kris Jenners older children complaining that her look-a-like daughter Kim Kardashian is her favorite. Smokler says she has different feelings toward a child who is going through an affectionate stage and one who is going through a difcult one, but shes careful not to treat one better than the other. She tries to be aware of her own behavior and nds it helpful to spend alone time with all of her kids, giving each one some undivided attention. Right now, she says, one of her children is denitely the least likely to drive me to drink at 4 p.m., but she fully expects that her preference will change. The tides will turn, and theyll turn back, she says. And thats the way it will always be.

Pedowitz. We do want to expand upon the DC Universe. We think that there are rich characters we can use, and we felt like this was a very organic way to get there. If all goes as planned, there could be a spinoff. Arrow debuted in the 2012-2013 season and was The CWs most popular new show. It stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, who is based on the DC Comics character The Green Arrow. A spoiled billionaire who was stranded on an island for five years, Queen returns home as a secret hooded crime fighter out to rid his city of corruption using his newfound talent with a bow and arrow. Arrow returns for its second season in October.

Pets traveling on airplanes often suffer rough rides through airport


Dear Abby: I travel a lot in my work with animal protection. Often Ill encounter dogs and cats in distress as soon as I reach the airport. Distracted by their own thoughts, their owners seldom realize theyre upsetting the pets theyre carrying through the terminal. Animal carriers are carelessly swung to and fro, banged against counters, chairs and onto the floor. Cat or dog shoulder bags are dangled at angles that make it impossible for the animal inside to balance. Traveling is stressful enough for animals. So please, everyone if you fly with an animal companion, keep it foremost in your thoughts. Use a

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
sturdy, well-ventilated carrier, preferably one with wheels, thats designed for animals and to fit under your seat. Keep the carrier upright and steady. Animal Lover in Washington, D.C. Dear Animal Lover: Thank you for the heads up. In case someones pet might have other issues while traveling, its always a good idea to talk about it with a veterinarian before embarking. (Sorry, I couldnt resist.) Dear Abby: Im a 19-year-old guy and for as long as I can remember my parents have yelled at me. It lasts

for hours at a time at night. Its never about me doing something bad, but how I never do anything up to their expectations. It makes me depressed and I have been thinking about suicide. I have never been able to have an opinion of my own because as soon as I had one my parents would yell at me and call me stupid and retarded. I cry myself to sleep at night hoping God will put me to sleep forever. Please tell me what to do. Justin in San Francisco Dear Justin: Verbal abuse which is what you are describing can be every bit as destructive as physical abuse. Perhaps its time to consider moving out. Because you have reached the point

of wanting to hurt yourself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The number is 800-784-2433. A counselor there can direct you to the help you need. You may have to build your self-esteem from the ground up, but the effort will be well worth it. My thoughts are with you. Dear Abby: A few months ago my mother joined Facebook and I readily accepted her friend request. Im a 30-something IT specialist, but Mom is new to the Internet. There are times I have gone online and seen posts in which my mother is arguing with my friends about their lifestyles. I have friends and business contacts from all over the world, and their backgrounds are highly varied as are their belief and value systems.

I have told Mom in private and public discussions that she owes someone an apology, but she shrugs it off. Am I wrong for asking her to respect my friends, and would you suggest I unfriend my mother until she learns proper Internet etiquette? Digital Family Man Dear Family Man: Because what your mother is doing could negatively affect your business, you should do EXACTLY that. And quickly!

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The fast lane forces everyone to go fast because the flow of traffic will endanger you if you dont. Because you prefer to go at your own speed, getting out of the fast lane may be wise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The things that scare you might be worth doing. Youre in a particularly bold mood today and are likely to leap from the high dive into the swimming pool of life. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You dont mind if, once in a while, your loved ones speak to you in an intimate kind of shorthand thats less than polite. But if it happens more than not, start sticking up for yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In order to act when its time, you have to know when its time. Trust yourself. The temptation to move too soon or too late is ever-present, but only if you dont trust yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may wish for a laboratory to try out your ideas. This could be as simple as a table and a few supplies or as elaborate as a fully staffed company. It begins with todays wish. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With fame comes gossip. Is it worth it? Youd rather be anonymous than have to think about everything you say and what it will look like to others if youre simply yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your gentle courtesy will bring you to the top of a list. Finally youre being considered for the position you deserve, and you didnt have to brag about yourself to get here. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today something impulsive in you wants to put it all on the line. It might be argued that by risking everything you are making sure that you have fully lived. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Youre not about to count your blessings as blessings until the end game is upon you, and even then you wont really know. So instead youll enjoy what is. For now, its safe to say, Its all good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Aim high and usually your arrow still winds up at ground level. But the view it will witness between the sky and the dirt will be far broader and more interesting than if you hadnt shot into the sky. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). An imaginary encounter with yourself will be better than an actual encounter with the one you think is standing in your way. It turns out that moving yourself out of the way will clear your path of all other obstacles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Between thinking and doing is planning. You dont need a written agenda for this day to go smoothly, but it honestly wouldnt hurt. Youll save yourself time in the end. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 1). Good fortune sprinkles your next five weeks. Youll be promoted through a system of ranks and in September find yourself exactly where you planned to be and ahead of schedule. Relationships shift to accommodate new wishes and needs in November. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 2, 30 and 16.
