WiLKES-BArrE Javette Uggiano drew the line when her son, 19-year-old William Chilly Uggiano, wanted to breed mice to feed his three snakes. She also told him no when he wanted to buy an alligator. She does plan to make him tacos when he is released from Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where he is recovering from ve gunshot wounds. City police on Monday released no new details about their investigation with state police and the Luzerne County District Attorneys Ofce. No charges have been led. While investigators have remained tight-lipped, a search warrant led with District Judge Martin Kane on Monday afternoon says a black man wearing a long-sleeve, light-colored shirt was seen in the area at the time when Chilly was shot. According to the search warrant afdavit, an ofcer on East Northampton Street

heard gunre at 10:50 p.m. Saturday and found Uggiano laying on Wayne Street near South Grant Street. the teen was able to tell police he did not know the name of the person who shot him but had seen the shooter around town before. Uggiano said he was just walking and the guy shot him, the afdavit says. Several spent .45 caliber shell casings were recovered at the intersection. Man spotted in area An off-duty police ofcer in the area said he spotted a man wearing a longsleeve, light-colored shirt hiding behind bushes in the area of Wayne and South Grant streets. When an ofcer shined a spotlight in the area, the man ran down Wayne Street as the spotlight moved to a different area. the unknown man was last seen walking through a mufer shops parking lot on East Northampton Street. Uggiano suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and head. he has responded to his mothers commands by opening his eyes and squeezing her hand.

im praying to God my baby is getting out of this, Javette Uggiano said when talking about her son with her husband, William, outside their home on Park Avenue on Monday. i told him, Chilly, you got to ght like you never fought before. Javette and her husband said police have not provided them with any updates about the investigation. they believe their son was walking alone on his way to a friends house for a party when he was gunned down. Everybody around here loves Chilly; he didnt have a problem with anyone, Javette said. he isnt a bad boy; hes a good boy. Uggiano, a 2013 graduate of WilkesBarre Areas GAr high School, did not have a job but babysat a nephew and mowed a neighbors lawn, his parents said. he owns three snakes: an Albino Corn snake, a red tail Boa and a Bull Python, as pets. his father helped him build cages for the reptiles.

NEW yOrK Alex rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games each Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago. ryan Brauns 65-game suspension last month and previous penalties bring to 18 the total number of players sanctioned for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in florida accused of distributing banned performingenhancing drugs. the harshest penalty was reserved for rodriguez, the New york yankees slugger, a threetime Most Valuable Player and baseballs highest-paid star. he said he will appeal his suspension, which covers 211 games, by thursdays deadline. And since arbitrator fredric horowitz isnt expected to rule until November or December at the earliest, rodriguez was free to make his season debut Monday night and play the rest of the year. the other 12 players agreed to their 50-game penalties and began serving them immediately, giving them a chance to return for the playoffs. MLB said A-rods drug penalty was for his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years. his punishment under the labor contract was for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the ofce of the commissioners investigation. rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs while with texas from 2001-03, but has repeatedly denied using them since. Sidelined since hip surgery in January, rodriguez was due to rejoin the yankees ve hours after the suspension, in a series opener at the Chicago White Sox. he was scheduled to play third base and bat fourth. i am disappointed with the penalty and intend to appeal and ght this through the process. i am eager to get back on the eld and be with my teammates in Chicago tonight, rodriguez said See A-rOD | 10A

3 are injured; gunman is captured

The Associated Press

3 dead at meeting near Saylorsburg

during Ross Townships regular monthly meeting, Monroe County emergency management director Guy Miller said. The gunman, who appeared to be shooting randomly, was captured and was in state police custody at a local hospital, which was placed on lockdown, he said. State police in Lehighton conrmed the gunman had been captured but didnt immediately have details on the arrest. The Pocono Record said one of its reporters was in the township building and a gunman armed with a pistol with a scope shot through a wall into the meeting. The reporter, Chris Reber, told the newspaper that all he saw was holes go through the wall, with smoke and plaster blowing out. He said he heard automatic gunre. I ran out after the rst round of shooting. I dropped to the oor. Thats what everyone did. Then it stopped and I crawled out the side door, Reber recounted to the newspaper, which posted it online. I was the only person who crawled out. Everyone got behind a table. Some of the supervisors were over on the side throwing up.

Drunken walking blamed for over thousand deaths

Associated Press

1,547 pedestrians had blood alcohol content levels of .08 or higher, data show
in 2011 31 percent, or 9,878 deaths were attributable to crashes involving a driver with a BAC of .08 or higher. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx released the data as he kicked off a new effort to reduce pedestrian deaths. There were 4,432 pedestrian fatalities in 2011, the latest year for which data is available. That was up 3 percent from the previous year. Jonathan Adkins, a spokesman for the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety ofces, said anti-drunk driving campaigns may be encouraging more people to walk home after a night of drinking. What it (the data) says to us is that nationally weve done a good job of educating people about the dangers of drunk driving, but we havent done such a good job of reminding them that other drunk behavior, including walking, can be just as dangerous, Adkins said. Alcohol can impair pedestrians judgment and lead them to make bad decisions, like crossing a road in the wrong place, crossing is against the light, or trying to beat a bus thats coming, he said. Were starting to see this with bicycles as well in cities that have bike share programs, he said. People wanting to do the right thing that had too much at happy hour and they jump on a bike. There is no data on an increase in alcohol-impaired bicycle fatalities, but there has been discussion at safety conferences around the country about what appears to be the beginning of a trend, Adkins said. Bicyclists are a small number of fatalities anyway, he said. But it makes sense. For the same reason there are drunk pedestrians, youre going to see drunk bicyclists. You can be alcohol impaired with just a few drinks. Its not that youre sloppy drunk and falling over, it is just that youre above .08. Safety advocates have been warning for several years that theyre also seeing more cases of distracted walking. Several studies show that people who are talking on their cellphones while walking make more mistakes. Weve done a good job alerting people to the dangers of being a distracted driver, but we havent done a good job of alerting people to the dangers of being a distracted pedestrian, Adkins said.

WASHINGTON Just as drinking and driving can be deadly, so can drinking and walking. Over a third of the pedestrians killed in 2011 had blood alcohol levels above the legal limit for driving, according to government data released Monday. Thirty-ve percent of those killed, or 1,547 pedestrians, had blood alcohol content levels of .08 or higher, the legal limit for driving, according to data reported to the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration by state highway departments. Among the 625 pedestrians aged 25- to 34-years-old who were killed, half were alcohol impaired. Just under half the pedestrians killed who were in their early 20s and their mid-30s to mid-50s were also impaired. Only among pedestrians age 55 or older or younger than age 20 was the share of those killed a third or less. By comparison, 13 percent of drivers involved in crashes in which pedestrians were killed were over the .08 limit. Overall, about a third of trafc fatalities

a decade earlier. An arraignment date of Sept. 20 was listed in court documents for Curley. For Schultz and Spanier, the date listed was Sept. 30. The men were ordered to stand trial in Dauphin County after the two-day hearing revolving around what prosecutors called a conspiracy of silence. Eight witnesses were called over the two-day hearing. Charges were bound over last week, and transcripts of the hearings released Friday. Wenner ruled the men would stand trial on charges of covering up child abuse allegations against Sandusky. The former administrators will still stand trial, although no date has been set and despite defense attorneys attempts to seek a dismissal because of what they argued was a lack of evidence. Lawyers said last week they dont expect the trial date to be sooner than early 2014, but Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Wednesday her ofce is ready. We certainly have more evidence than we put on at the preliminary hearing, she said during an interview with the Centre Daily Times on Wednesday. Were looking forward to trial. The attorney general said printouts of emails from 1998 and 2001 show Spanier, Curley and Schultz discussed separate incidents involving Sandusky in campus locker room showers, a bill from 2001 showing Schultz consulted with a lawyer about suspected child abuse and hand-written notes Schultz took after learning of the 1998 incident. Sandusky, 69, was convicted in June on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse and was sentenced in October to 30 to 60 years basically what amounts to a life sentence in state prison. So far, the case has cost Penn State University nearly $48 million in legal fees, consulting work and other associated costs.

Three former Penn State administrators pleaded not guilty to perjury, obstruction of justice and related charges and have waived their rights to a formal arraignment, according to court documents released by the Dauphin County Court of Pleas on Monday.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama, seeking to buffer taxpayers from future housing market downturns, will urge Congress this week to back bipartisan efforts to shutter Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage-giants bailed out by the government in 2008. Obama will also renew his calls for sweeping mortgage renancing legislation when he travels to Phoenix today. Arizonas desert capital was the epicenter of the housing crisis that began in 2008, but the market there has rebounded strongly, with home prices up and foreclosures down. The presidents visit to Phoenix marks the latest stop on his summertime economic tour aimed at refocusing his agenda on middle class Americans still struggling to fully recover following the recession. The collapse of the housing market in particular had a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the economic viability of communities across the country. So many Americans across the country view their own economic and nancial circumstances through their homes and whether they own a home, whether their home is underwater, whether they feel like they have equity in their homes, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday. Senior administration ofcials said Obama would focus in Phoenix on shifting more of the burden for supporting the nations massive mortgage market to the private sector. A centerpiece of that effort is his support for winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The White House has already lauded efforts to achieve that goal spearheaded by Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. While Obama will outline his own proposals on Tuesday, his plans are largely in line with the bipartisan Senate overhaul. Ofcials said Obama will insist that the government only step in to pay out mortgage guarantees after private capital has been exhausted and that private capital bear the substantial majority of any losses. He will also call for Fannie and Freddies investment portfolios to be wound down by at least 15 percent per year. Obama advisers did not outline a specic timeframe for winding down Fannie and Freddie. The Corker-Warner legislation would shutter the operations within ve years. Fannie and Freddie were nationalized during the 2008 nancial collapse and bailed out with $187 billion in taxpayer-funded loans. The two enterprises dont directly make loans, but buy mortgages from lenders, package them as bonds, guarantee them against default and sell them to investors. Fannie and Freddie currently own or guarantee half of all U.S. mortgages and back nearly 90 percent of new ones. Against the backdrop of Phoenixs reinvigorated housing market, Obama will also tout renancing proposals that gained little traction on Capitol Hill when he rst unveiled them last year. Among his proposals is a call for expanding renancing eligibility for homeowners who do not have government-backed mortgages. The president will also look to link his housing proposals to immigration reform, his top second term legislative priority. Ofcials said he will argue that legal immigration can stimulate the housing market, noting that immigrants accounted for 40 percent of new homeowners nationwide between 2000 and 2010, according to the Obama administration. The ofcials insisted on anonymity in order to preview the presidents remarks ahead of his trip.

IN BRIEF

Hearing on water rate increase today

The state Public Utility Commission will hold one of its seven statewide public hearings in Scranton today to take testimony regarding a proposed rate increase for Pennsylvania American Water Co. customers. Administrative law judges Angela T. Jones and Darlene D. Heep will conduct the 1 p.m. hearing in Room B3 of the Scranton State Ofce, 100 Lackawanna Ave. The commission scheduled the hearings after it voted 5-0 on June 13 to investigate the companys request, which proposes an annual increase in revenues of $58.8 million, or 10.1 percent. Each of the companys water divisions has a different rate increase. Locally, those using whats referred to as the companys Main Division, would see their bill increase 11.7 percent on average. For the typical residential customer using 47,520 gallons annually, the bill would increase from $630.12 to $703.56 annually if the commission approves the request as is.

Pests scratch Pittston librarys schedule

PITTSTON A ea infestation is forcing the Pittston Memorial Library to close for three weeks. Seitz Brothers Exterminators of Pittston were brought in and have been treating the problem, said Library Board President Barbara Quinn. County and state Department of Heath ofcials have urged the library to close until the problem is eradicated. Quinn said library ofcials rst became aware of the problem on July 27. We noticed eas around the public computer terminals, she said. An exterminator was brought in and ofcials thought the problem was solved. But more bugs were spotted. The eas were becoming active again, Quinn said. So we decided we needed to close for the protection of everyone. They were told the bugs have a 21-day incubation period, so to be safe they closed for the entire 21 days. Ofcials suspect the eas came in on a person using the librarys computers. A note on the library door explains the problem: Unfortunately we have some issues with bugs in the library and we want to be careful. A voice message on the librarys phone line tells callers: We are undergoing some issues with bugs within our libraryand encourages patrons to call the Osterhout Library with any questions or concerns. One reason for closure is the danger of eas spreading in books through the countys inter-library loan program. Fleas could possibly be transferred to other libraries. Any books should be put in the return slot outside the library or any other library in the Luzerne County Library System, including
A sign posted above the book return at the Pittston Memorial Library cites issues with bugs as the reason for the buildings closing.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County judge on Monday ruled a West Wyoming hauling company must stop business after the borough said it was operating illegally and creating bothersome smells and loud noises. Judge Michael Vough, in a two-page order, ruled Russells Hauling must cease and desist operations until further order of court. On July 23, the borough, through its solicitor, Linell Lukesh, of Philadelphia, led a request in Luzerne County Court for a special injunction against Russells Hauling Co., owned by borough resident Joseph Russell. The petition seeks to order a cease and desist of the companys operations until a county zoning hearing is addressed because neighbors who live nearby say they are unable to enjoy their properties. Between April 2012 and the present, the court ling states, nearby property owners have experienced detrimental living conditions due to noise, smells, smoke and other violations coming from the business. The hauling company has not obtained the proper licensing or zoning to operate, Lukesh said at a hearing last week. Joseph Russell has said the closure of his business would put him and his workers families out of work, and he said he will ght for whats right. Russell, who has 10 children and one on the way, said Monday he has no violations

from any state agency and was disappointed with Voughs ruling. At last weeks hearing, Russell testied that both the state Department of Environmental Protection and OSHA have been to his Apollo Drive business and no violations were led. Russell did say he was cited at the district judge level on allegations of violating borough ordinances, including for open burning, and ordered to

pay nes. Cynthia Kennelly and Charles Umphred, who live near Russells Hauling on Ferretti Drive, have made a number of complaints about the business, including 911 calls. None of our intentions are to put Mr. Russell out of business, Kennelly said. He has the ability to have a successful business and nd a proper location and do it legally. West Wyoming is not the place.

In September 2012, Russells Hauling applied to the county Zoning Hearing Board for a special exception to operate a multiuse recycling and junkyard at the business. That request was later denied, and Russell appealed that decision. The appeal is pending and no hearing date has yet been scheduled. If the zoning is approved, Russell would then have to apply for a license to operate a junkyard in the borough,

which would be subject to borough councils approval. Russells attorney, Matthew Herbert, did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday. Borough Councilwoman Eileen Cipriani, who testied at last weeks hearing, said Monday the borough is pleased with Voughs ruling. It was a contentious situation with disruptions to the whole community, Cipriani said.

Homicide case lingering against teen Cody Lee

Search warrants filed in death of David George

City police and Luzerne County detectives led two search warrants on Monday into the fatal shooting of David George last month. George, 24, died after he was shot in the head outside his mothers house at 73 S. Welles St. on July 18. The search warrants led with District Judge Martin Kane on Monday seek cellphone records to a mobile phone found next to Georges body and records from his Facebook account. During the course of the investigation it was learned that (George) may have communicated with possible suspects using his Facebook account, the afdavit says. No charges have been led.

WILKES-BARRE Attorneys in the homicide case of 19-year-old Cody Lee have said there were plea negotiations in the works. But, after meetings with prosecutors and a two-hour meeting with a county senior judge on Monday, that may no longer be a possibility. Senior Judge Joseph Augello said in open court after a meeting with Lees attorneys, Charles Rado and Peter Paul Olszewski Jr., and First Assistant District Attorney Samuel Sanguedolce and Assistant District Attorney Mamie Phillips, that no agreements or stipulations were made and no rulings were made. Augello was asked to help out with the case regarding plea negotiations so that the judge presiding over the trial, Joseph Sklarosky Jr., had no knowledge of any conversations. Augello said the scheduled Sept. 16 trial date is still in effect.

With the date approaching, Lee is scheduled to appear before Sklarosky on Thursday for pre-trial hearing at which the judge will likely make rulings on some of the attorneys requests in the case. Lee, of Lake Township, was charged in December 2009 with shooting and killing his 80-year-old great-grandfather, Herbert Lee. Lee had originally been charged in 2009, and his attorneys tried to have his case heard in juvenile court because Lee was 16 at the time of the shooting. A county judge denied that request, and Lees case was sent to a district judge for a preliminary hearing, a court proceeding that had been put on hold until the outcome of the juvenile request. District Judge James Tupper said prosecutors did not establish enough evidence against Lee to bring a charge of homicide, but then Lee was rearrested seconds later. A second hearing was held before District Judge Paul Roberts, who moved the case to county court. Lees attorneys have previously led

court papers asking a judge to throw out certain evidence in the case as well as statements their client made to a psychiatrist. The attorneys seek to have evidence thrown out, including a notebook and backpack allegedly owned by Lee. Investigators allege Lee used the notebook to write down a plan he wanted to carry out to kill his father, Scott Lee, and his great-grandfather.

After school on Dec. 9, 2009, police said, Lee shot Herbert Lee inside their Meeker Outlet Road home. Lees father, Scott Lee, wrestled his son for the gun before Cody Lee ed into a wooded area. Police said Lee spent several hours walking around in the woods wearing only jeans, a T-shirt and socks before he was captured by state police at a nearby house.

GOP wants Clinton programs pulled

Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com founder who helped bring books into the digital age, is going after another pillar of old media: the newspaper. Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos struck a deal Monday to buy The Washington Post and other newspapers for $250 million in a startling demonstration of how the Internet has created both winners and losers and utterly transformed the media landscape. Bezos made his fortune by pioneering online shopping, rst with books, then with just about everything else, while The Washington Post, like most newspapers, has been losing readers and advertisers to the Internet while watching its value plummet. The newspaper, celebrated a generation ago for breaking the Watergate scandal, has been forced in recent years to scale back its ambitions, cut its newsroom staff repeatedly and close several bureaus. Bezos, 49, is buying the paper as an individual. Amazon.com Inc. is not involved.

LOS ANGELES

WASHINGTON The Republican National Committee charged Monday that NBC and CNN are promoting a potential presidential candidacy by Hillary Rodham Clinton, threatening to blackball them from future GOP primary debates if they air planned programs on the former secretary of state. RNC chairman Reince Priebus called a planned NBC miniseries on Clinton and a CNN documentary on the rst lady an extended commercial for a future Clinton presidential campaign. In separate letters to the networks, he urged them to cancel this political ad masquerading as an unbiased production. Clinton has not yet said whether shell run for president again in 2016 but her future remains the subject of wide speculation in political circles

and beyond. The primary debates typically provide a ratings boost for the networks and are highly-coveted as the presidential campaign unfolds. In making the charge, the RNC was raising a common complaint among Republican activists that news and entertainment industries favor Democratic candidates. Republicans have also used a potential Clinton campaign as a fundraising tool in recent months as both parties begin to assess the crop of candidates to succeed President Barack Obama. CNN Films is planning a featurelength documentary lm on the former rst lady, looking at her professional and personal life. It will be led by Oscar-winning director and producer Charles Ferguson and is expected to air in 2014. NBC has announced a miniseries called Hillary, starring actress Diane Lane. No air date has been announced

but it is timed to be released before the 2016 presidential election. NBC has said the four-hour miniseries will follow Clintons life and career from 1998 to the present. Richard Licata, an NBC Entertainment spokesman, declined comment on the request and referred calls to NBC News, which did not immediately comment. CNN also did not immediately comment. In the letters, Priebus said the RNC would refuse to partner with the two networks on future Republican primary debates or sanction any debates which CNN or NBC may sponsor if they continued with their Clinton programs. Unless the networks comply, he plans to push for the sanctions at an RNC meeting in Boston beginning on Aug. 14. GOP leaders in the early voting states of Iowa and South Carolina said they supported the request.

Though she hasnt announced any presidential run, some Republicans say Hillary Clinton is getting an unfair advantage thanks to upcoming planned television shows focused on her.

Air Force copter crashes, crew live

A U.S. military helicopter crashed Monday at an American base on the southern island of Okinawa, and all four crew members are believed to have survived, Japanese and U.S. ofcials said. The HH-60 rescue helicopter, which belongs to Okinawas Kadena Air Base, was on an unspecied training mission when it crashed at Camp Hansen, a U.S. Air Force statement said. However, Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told reporters, citing information he had received, that three crew members ejected from the helicopter and the fourth was apparently injured and taken to hospital.

Concern for animal welfare behind effort

MARIA CHENG
AP Medical Writer

Lab-made burger short on flavor, tasters say

pleased with the reviews: Its not perfect, but its a good start. Post, whose team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands developed the burger over ve years, hopes that making meat in labs could eventually help feed the world and ght climate change although that goal is probably a decade or two away, at best. The rst (lab-made) meat products are going to be very exclusive, said Isha Datar, director of New Harvest, an international nonprot that promotes meat alternatives. These burgers wont be in Happy Meals before someone rich and famous is eating them. Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, announced that he funded the 250,000euro ($330,000) project, saying he was motivated by a concern for animal welfare. Were trying to create the rst cultured beef hamburger, he said in a videotaped message. From there, Im optimistic we can really scale up by leaps and bounds. Scientists agreed that improving the avor probably wont be hard. Taste is the least (important) problem since this could be controlled by letting some of the stem cells develop into fat cells, said Stig Omholt, director of biotechnology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Adding fat to the burgers this way would probably be healthier than getting it from naturally chunky cows, said Omholt, who was not involved in the project. He called Mondays tasting a publicity stunt but not in a bad way. He said it was a smart way to draw public attention, and possibly investor funds, to efforts to develop lab-grown meat. Posts team made the meat from shoulder muscle cells of two organically raised cows. The cells were put into a nutrient solution to help them develop into muscle tissue, and they grew into small strands of meat. It took nearly 20,000 strands to make a single 5-ounce patty, which for Mondays event was seasoned with salt, egg powder and breadcrumbs. Red beet juice and saffron were added to help the burger look more meat-like; Post said the lab-made patty had a yellowish tinge.

Egypts bank sees $4B jump in a month

Egypts central bank says the countrys foreign reserves stood at $18.8 billion at the end of July, a jump of nearly $4 billion from the previous month. The bank did not provide details on the inux of cash, but the sharp rise comes after oil-rich Arab Gulf countries pledged billions of dollars in aid to Egypts interim government in the wake of the military coup that ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in early July. According to gures released Monday on the central banks website, the reserves are at the highest point since November 2011. The reserves plunged over the past two years as political turmoil scared away tourists and foreign investors. Egypts foreign reserves are needed to pay for vital imports and used to keep the local currency aoat.

LONDON The food of the future could do with a pinch of seasoning and maybe some cheese. Two volunteers who took the rst public bites of hamburger grown in a laboratory gave it good marks for texture but agreed there was something missing. I miss the salt and pepper, said Austrian nutritionist Hanni Ruetzler. U.S. journalist Josh Schonwald confessed to a difculty in judging a burger without ketchup or onions or jalapenos or bacon. Both tasters shunned the bun, lettuce and sliced tomatoes offered to them to concentrate on the avor of the meat itself. Mark Post, the Dutch scientist who led the team that grew the meat from cattle stem cells, regretted having served the patty without his favorite topping: aged gouda cheese. That would have enhanced the whole experience tremendously, he told The Associated Press. He said he was

Boobie bracelets covered by free speech

After years of litigation about students free speech rights, a full U.S. appeals court ruled Monday that a Pennsylvania school district cannot ban I (heart) Boobies! bracelets. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected school district claims that the slogan designed to promote breast cancer awareness among young people is lewd. It also concluded that school ofcials didnt prove the bracelets were disruptive. The ruling is a victory for two Easton Area School District girls who challenged the school rule in 2010 with help from the American Civil Liberties Union. Easton is one of several school districts around the country to ban the bracelets, which are distributed by the nonprot Keep A Breast Foundation of Carlsbad, Calif.

US: Posts in 19 cities to stay closed this week

The Associated Press WASHINGTON U.S. diplomatic posts in 19 cities in the Mideast and Africa will remain closed for the rest of the week amid intercepted chatter about terror threats, which lawmakers briefed on the information likened to intelligence picked up before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. One lawmaker on an intelligence committee called it the most serious threat he had seen in several years. Another lawmaker said the chatter was specic as to certain dates and the scope of the operation; others said it suggested that a major terrorist attack was being planned by the alQaida afliate in Yemen. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the decision to keep the embassies and consulates closed is a sign of an abundance of caution and is not an indication of a new threat. Diplomatic facilities will remain closed in Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, among other countries, through Saturday, Aug. 10. The State Department announcement Sunday added closures of four African sites, in Madagascar, Burundi, Rwanda and Mauritius. The U.S. decided to reopen some posts on Monday, including those in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Baghdad. The intelligence intercepts also prompted Britain, Germany and France to close

their embassies in Yemen on Sunday and Monday. British authorities said some embassy staff in Yemen had been withdrawn due to

security concerns. France said Monday it would extend the closure of its embassy in the Yemeni capital through Wednesday.

WASHINGTON As Irans new president takes over, new U.S. penalties against the country appear a done deal. In a letter to President Barack Obama, 76 senators are demanding tougher punishment on Irans economy until the Islamic republic scales back its nuclear program. It also urges Obama to consider military options while keeping the door open to diplomacy. The Senate letter, a copy of which was obtained Saturday by The Associated Press, comes just days after the House overwhelmingly passed new restrictions on Irans oil sector and its mining and construction industries. Senators are expected to take up the same package in September. Until we see a signicant slowdown of Irans nuclear activities, we believe our nation must toughen sanctions and reinforce the credibility of our option to use military force at the same time as we fully explore a diplomatic solution to our dispute with Iran, says the letter, which was to be delivered Monday. The Obama administration is concerned Congress effort could undercut Irans relatively moderate President-elect Hasan Rouhani, who was formally endorsed by Irans ayatollah on Saturday and took the oath of ofce Sunday. Rouhani has pledged to follow a path of moderation and promised greater openness over Irans nuclear program. Obama wants to give Rouhani a chance to prove his seriousness. The U.S. believes Iran has been working for years to develop nuclear weapons. Iran insists its program is for peaceful energy and research purposes. Rouhanis victory signaled Irans clear dissatisfaction, the senators said. But they noted that all nal decisions on nuclear matters rest with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said Iran must not be allowed to use any new nuclear negotiations with world powers to stall for time. Iran today continues its largescale installation of advanced centrifuges, their letter said. This will soon put it in the position to be able to rapidly produce weapons-grade uranium, bringing Tehran to the brink of a nuclear weapons capability. We need to understand quickly whether Tehran is at last ready to negotiate seriously, it added. Iran needs to understand that the time for diplomacy is nearing its end. Obama prefers diplomacy. He has given Iran until sometime next spring to prove to the world that its program is peaceful. If Iran fails to do so, the stage may be set for military intervention from the U.S. or Israel, which sees Iranian nuclear weapons capacity as an existential threat and has warned of taking action according to its own timeline.

Dying From a Hip Fracture is Now the Same Risk as Dying from Breast Cancer!
I need to get the word out! Not only did my Mom suffer... My wife was at risk too!
Sometimes tragedy does lead to triumph. My name is Dr. Charles Price. Im a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and Professor of Orthopedic Surgery. And heres my story of how love and science helped save my wife... and how it can improve the quality of life for millions of Americans. Four years ago, my mother fell and broke her hip. As an orthopedic surgeon, I knew she was in desperate trouble. Thats because 25% of patients die within a year of a hip fracture. And that statistic hasnt changed in over 40 years. A few months later, I got more bad news: My wife of 40 years was suffering from alarmingly low bone density. Its a common, but very dangerous condition for millions of women over the age of 50. Sadly, my mom passed away just ten months later from complications of her broken hip. While I was devastated, I was determined not to let my wife become a statistic too. I had to find the key to real bone health quickly. As an experienced academic orthopedic surgeon with 70 peerrelated papers to my credit, my job had always been to heal damaged bone. Now I had to find something besides the standard treatments to support bone health and give my wife a better quality of life. I spent the next two years buried in research papers. What I found was another wake-up call!
Dr. Charles Price (far right) and a team of orthopedic surgeons, from the Bone Institute, have discovered that silicon could be a key to real bone health.

I contacted several prominent physicians to assist me, each with extensive experience in treating broken bones. When they reviewed my research, they were excited and agreed to help me. We formulated a groundbreaking supplement that includes silicon and also provides key bone health nutrients that arent in many multivitamins or bone health supplements. Silical is a proprietary formula of nine bonehealth ingredients, including silicon, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D. As many of you already know, adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a wellbalanced diet, may reduce the risk of bone fractures. In addition, weve added boron to improve retention of magnesium and calcium, vitamin K, which is vital for bone formation, and inositol which studies show can really help improve calcium deposition. We combined these nutrients to work together to help inhibit bone removal process, and help you achieve optimal bone health.

According to the U.S. Surgeon Generals office, it is estimated that half of all Americans over age 50 are at risk for fractures caused by low bone mass.
There are drugs available, but drugs can have some bad side effects. There had to be something besides calcium and vitamin D to help support her bone health. Then, my research uncovered some amazing information! I read a thirty year old document that showed the mineral silicon plays a major role in bone health. Bone cant form without silicon and that was something new to me. Could silicon be the hidden key to bone formation and bone health?

From page 1A his supporters. My win in the May primary proves people in the county dont buy what theyre selling. The people in the county are not fooled for a second, he said. The Republican Party has the option to choose someone else to run in his place. County Republican Party Chairman Bill Urbanski said the election ofce told him Aug. 22 is the deadline to choose a replacement. He plans to call a special meeting of the executive committee to discuss possible contenders. Urbanski said he learned of Grifths resignation through the media and has not talked to him. I think its an unfortunate situation he nds himself in, Urbanski said of Grifth. Ive always had a respect for him. Hes been a tireless advocate for good government. One potential GOP contender may be WilkesBarre tax accountant Karen Ceppa-Hirko, whom Grifth defeated in the primary. Conyngham Township resident Michelle Bednar, is running on the Democratic ticket. Grifth faces three felony counts of intercept communications, each carrying a maximum of seven years in prison. The complaint led by the state Attorney Generals Ofce in May alleges Grifth illegally recorded three conversations a July 2010 phone call with county pension fund ofcials and attorneys, an August 2010 retirement board executive session and a March 2011 phone call by Y. Judd Shoval, a member of the nonprot CityVest board that owns the Hotel Sterling property in Wilkes-Barre. Grifth waived his scheduled preliminary hearing for the wiretap charges last week. Courthouse insiders say the charges against Grifth will be downgraded to misdemeanors with no jail time if he steps down. Grifths attorney, Joseph DAndrea, of Dunmore, said Monday he cant comment on any future proceeding. Shoval also led a civil suit against Grifth, arguing his privacy was invaded by the wiretap. The county is handling Grifths legal defense in the Shoval suit, but Grifth must pay for his own legal counsel in the criminal case. Could I ght them in court? The problem is how much money is it going to cost? Im not a wealthy person, he said. He compared his situation to that of the late former county Controller Steve Flood, saying his cries of wrongdoing often fell on deaf ears and made him a target. Flood, who did not win his bid for reelection in 2005, suffered a stroke after attending a 2007 commissioner meeting to complain about the countys leasing of a Pittston Township facility that was later linked to the corruption charges against two former county judges. They did the same thing with Steve Flood, and he suffered a stroke. Im not going to let them take everything I own or impact my health, Grifth said. When you hold people accountable, thats what happens. He said the public should be wary because the controller is the independent watchdog. The only check and balance we have in this home rule government is the controllers ofce, he said. I dont see where this new government has changed anything. Grifth, who received $36,562 as controller, said he cant collect unemployment because he was an elected ofcial. He said he will still speak out at county meetings as a citizen, as he did before he was elected if time allows. He plans to rebuild his Nanticoke auto repair business, Rutter Auto Service, which he closed when he became controller to fulll his promise to work full-time for the county. He already was working on a vehicle Monday night. Ill have to start my business all over again, he said. Grifth recently approved a $4,000 salary raise for Llewellyn, who now makes $49,619, because she has picked up additional responsibilities. The ofce has only one other employee a unionized auditor and two vacant positions not yet lled by Grifth. Times Leader staff writer Sheena Delazio contributed to this report.

Plymouth Twp. awarded $448,028 grant

PLYMOUTH TWP. Township Supervisor Joseph Yudichak said Monday he received a letter dated July 8, which stated the township has been approved for a $448,028

SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BY SWITCHING TO A COAL FIRED HOT W A WATER BOILER OR FURNACE

grant for Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency project 4030. Although the project has been approved, the township will still need to wait for the closing. We cant do anything until the money is actually in the account, solicitor Robert Zarota said. Representatives from the government agency have stated it can take 12 to 18 months before the money is deposited.

Yudichak also announced the work being done on Mizdale Road has now been completed. Two miles of the road have been paved. Yudichak said work will be done next week on part of a collapsed wall in Canal Park. The work will be funded from a FEMA grant. In other matters, the supervisors have accepted the resignation of code enforcement ofcer

George Jones, who in his letter to the supervisors expressed his gratitude for being able to spend more than 30 years working for his hometown. He stated that Plymouth Township is the best administration that he has ever worked for. Jones said the he is resigning from his code enforcement duties because it is not fair to the township that he is unable to put as much time

and effort into the position as he would like to, due to the demands of his fulltime job. Barry Isett and Associates will take over the code enforcement responsibilities. The township is changing from PNC to Franklin Security Bank as its depository for township funds, due to Franklins offer of an interest rate of eight times the amount that PNC was offering, ofcials said.

the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the sanitary system now being installed in the borough. The resolution coincides with a financing package with the USDA which is intended to repay a $4 million bridge loan obtained from the Fulton Bank of Lancaster. The Fulton loan has provided the authority with capital to pay for construction costs incurred with the projects two major contractors, the Wexcon Co. and Doli Co., as well as the projects engineer, Quad3 Group of Wilkes-Barre. At present, Ray Shirk, authority chairman, said Wexcon is on target to complete a major phase of the system by previously established deadline of Aug. 15. Overall, completion is scheduled for Sept. 15. The resolution is intended as a public notice that the authority is incurring indebtedness with the USDA. Another phase of the total financing package involves a grant of over $4 million from the USDA and over $800,000 in publicly assessed tap-in fees in order to meet a projected cost of $9.3 million for the system.

Area wind farm litigants appear in Wyoming County Court

ROGER DUPUIS
rdupuis@civitasmedia.com

TUNKHANNOCK Lawyers representing litigants in a $56 million legal battle over delays to the Mehoopany Wind Farm last year appeared in Wyoming County Court for oral arguments Monday morning before Judge Russell Shurtleff. Colorado-based RES Americas claims BP Wind Energy and a related rm, Mehoopany Wind Energy LLC, owes them almost $56.2 million that the contractor says it is owed for work done to ensure that the $250 million wind farm went on line by Dec. 31, despite delays caused or exacerbated by a range of failures they blame on the facilitys developers. BP Wind and MWE counter in their response to the lawsuit that most or all of the additional costs result from RESs own self-inict-

ed performance issues, and have led a separate suit against RES in Texas, seeking more than $32 million in damages. The defendants also led motions seeking to prevent the Wyoming County case from moving ahead, claiming that RES is a Texasbased company and that Texas remains the proper venue for the case. More than a dozen area property owners who signed leases or easement deals allowing the wind farm onto their land received lien notices against the affected properties from subcontractors seeking payment while the battle between RES and BP Wind and MWE remains unresolved, although about 30 liens were satised in June after security was pledged in those cases. MWE owns the property, and BP Wind is a partner in MWE. The land speaks for

itself. The land is going to be a silent witness in this case, argued Doug Kilday, an Austin, Texas, attorney representing RES, who added that permits at the heart of the case were issued in and by Pennsylvania agencies, and that all relevant documents

are here as well. All of the issues scream out Pennsylvania, P e n n s y l v a n i a , Pennsylvania, Kilday said. Roy Powell, a Pittsburgh attorney representing BP Wind and MWE, countered it was not essential to the case for litigants to

traipse around 9,000 acres of Wyoming County. This is a case about the people at the site during the construction of the project, who are no longer here, Powell said. As well, the defense argued that RES did not le a writ of summons in

the case, as required, and that the rm is not based in Colorado but Texas. Kilday responded that RES located to Colorado in 2008, although two staffers continue to work in Austin. Powell said tax documents reveal that RES is still operating in Texas as of

this year. The judge gave the parties 10 days to le reply briefs after Mondays arguments, and said he will make sure the question of legal lings also will be resolved before issuing a ruling. He is expected to rule within 90 days.

HONOLULU A program that would help y homeless people in Hawaii back to the mainland is being greeted with skepticism by the states human services ofcials and groups that help the homeless. A provision allowing the state Department of Human Services to coordinate a voluntary return-to-home program is included in a new state law. The department said it doesnt have any plans to implement the program at this time, but publicity surrounding it has ofcials worried nonetheless. Its encouraging people on the mainland to take a chance in coming to Hawaii knowing they can be returned, said Marc Alexander, director of community relations and development for the Institute for Human Services, the largest homeless service provider in the state. His organization already helps some people return each year to the mainland.

People are attracted to Hawaii for its pleasant weather and aloha spirit, Alexander said. But they arrive and face the reality that living in paradise is very expensive. He said he has seen people run through their vacation money and wind up using nonprot service providers almost like hostels. The Department of Human Services echoed Alexanders concerns. At the end of the day we remain concerned this program is an invitation to purchase a one-way ticket to Hawaii with a guaranteed return ight home, the agency said in a statement. Only a small percentage of Hawaiis homeless people are from the mainland, said state Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland, D-KalihiLiliha, who authored the bill that proposed the program. But they are very visible, she said, in places frequented by tourists, such as Honolulus Chinatown and Waikiki. The most recent count of homeless people in the state is about 6,300, Alexander said.

SERVING THE PUBLIC TRUST SINCE 1881

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 PAGE 9A

Editorial
OUR OPINION: NONPROFITS

Justify nonprofit pay with more than hours

This space has often championed local nonprot organizations. Many serve vital purpose in our community, and The Times Leader Sunday page 1A package about pay and compensation for top employees at some area nonprots should not be construed as a criticism of those people, their work or their agencies. It should, however, serve as a wakeup call to nonprot directors who need to rethink their justications for six -gure salaries in a county where the median income is $43,296. Take Catholic Social Services Executive Director Stephen Nocilla. The agency does some of the most meaningful work for area underprivileged, often providing direct aid such as food for the hungry and shelter for the homeless. Nocilla oversees an annual budget of nearly $11 million, and a highly respectable 92 cents of every dollar goes into programs. It is not unreasonable that Nocillas total compensation in 2011 topped $115,000, considering he heads an agency serving 11 counties. Yet when asked about it, one response was at least unsatisfying and at most insulting: I cant remember putting in a 40 hour week. In an economy where many people work well beyond the traditional 40 hours to earn far less, that alone is hardly justication for six-gure pay. Wyoming Valley Drug and Alcohol Services CEO Carmen Ambrosino offered a similar rationalization for his total compensation of $174,079 in 2012, noting he works 60-hour weeks and is on call 24 hours a day. Again, a claim many paid far less can make. But Ambrosino went further, arguing his salary in 1973 was a scant $6,100 and nobody was doing newspaper stories about that. As reporter Roger Dupuis noted, while $6,100 sounds like poverty wages, but adjusted for ination would equal about $32,000 today a healthy starting salary in this region. Ambrosino also argued there are people in Northeast Pennsylvania who are making three, four, ve times what I am running nonprots, and hes right. Clearbrook, Inc., CEO Nicholas Colangelo hauled in total compensation of $462,954. But such parity arguments have two aws: They ignore the possibility others are overpaid, and and they glibly forget those at the lower end of the same ladder. There are people heading nonprots who received compensation two, three and four times less than Ambrosino, yet he made no mention of that. But the compensation of Bill Kelly, who recently stepped down as head of WVIA public radio and television, may be the toughest sell. Kelly got $275,270 in 2012, running a nonprot that repeatedly asks viewers and listeners for nancial support, that constantly reminds its audience about the loss of state aid, and that resorted to forced furlough days when the radio station runs on autopilot. Add the fact that WVIA only spends a bit more than 68 cents of every dollar on program costs, and such largess can become hard to fathom. All these agencies do important work. But if their heads and boards of directors who presumably set their compensation want public support, they need to do a better job of publicly justifying such ample salaries. Its not enough to note what others get for running similar agencies; They need to justify what the public gets from the people running their own.

This Regional Collaborative for Health Care Transformation will work on coordination of care, an important need in this area where so many people feel their care is fragmented. Initial projects will focus on heart failure and end-of-life care. We are also working with agencies throughout the region that provide services in mental and behavioral health, where the need is so great. Our vision is, through partnerships, to create a network of services, training programs, and resources to patients, young and old, in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Wayne, and the counties they ank. The rst step will be a needs assessment, for which we are currently seeking funding. Its a big, audacious goal but the need is very real.

We look forward to another year with condence and optimism for the future of the college and health care in the region.

OTHER OPINION: HOME CARE

Americas caregivers deserve a better deal

In the next two decades about 78 million baby boomers in the U.S. will turn 65. As they age, a portion of them will be cared for by their families, and others will no doubt enter facilities for the elderly. But many will rely on a growing cadre of domestic in-home workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the demand for personal-care aides who can help cook, clean and bathe the elderly and disabled is expected to grow by 70 percent from 2010 to 2020. Today, these caregivers often labor in conditions that would not be tolerated in any other industry. They work long hours some are on call all night; others work 10, 11 or 12 hours straight without extra pay. Some are denied meal breaks because of the nonstop nature of their work. Many are not covered by the minimum-wage laws that govern almost all other jobs. And many are not covered by laws requiring overtime pay. In all, according to a national statistical study released last year, nearly half of all domestic workers do not earn enough to adequately support a family. In-home caregivers were excluded from basic job protections when the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed in 1938, at a time when such work was generally part time and not typically done by a family breadwinner. Today, however, the vast majority of such workers are female heads of household, and care-giving is their primary occupation. It is time to bring these workers into the modern world. Two proposals could help. One is a plan by the Obama administration to change federal labor rules to extend minimum-wage protections to in-home caregivers and to guarantee them overtime after a 40-hour week. Second and simultaneously there is a bill in the California Legislature that would provide overtime to those workers after an eight-hour day, and guarantee them badly needed meal breaks and the right to use their employers kitchens to prepare meals. The two proposals complement each other, and both should be approved. Critics of these changes argue that requiring individuals and families to pay for such additional benets could make in-home care prohibitively expensive for many families. And theyre right to worry: The high cost of care for the elderly and the disabled is a serious problem that will only get worse as baby boomers retire. Society must begin to address that looming problem. But to ease the burden on the elderly and the disabled by forcing their lowincome caregivers to work without the basic labor protections that other Americans take for granted is simply not fair.

I got a kick out of a letter I read where more people are working now. Thats true, but its in the government, not in the private sector. If you count the people that gave up looking for jobs, unemployment would be higher yet (and how many are part-time jobs that are counted) Unemployment was even higher with Obama when the Democrats had the majority of the Senate and the House. Government is getting bigger and private sector smaller, and government will be bigger yet when they take control of our health care, and well be paying more for insurance.

From page 1A initiatives include an arts education program and the Signature Series, which supports opera, dance and straight theater. The number of performances at the Kirby Center has grown from 10 to more than 70 performances a year. Praise from Genetti Gus Genetti, a current board member and a longtime supporter of the Kirby, said the organization has had much success during Santarellis leadership. She has had a great run; she did a great job, Genetti said. She put the Kirby Center on the map. Genetti has served on the Kirby Centers building committee and he said Santarelli has secured needed grants and funding to keep the building in good shape. Its going to be difcult to replace her, he said. But the executive committee believes there are good people out there that can provide leadership needed for the center. Santarelli said the Kirby Centers board of directors has been wonderfully supportive and the staff is loyal and skilled. And we have a community that is so completely supportive of what we do, she said. Santarelli said the board has appointed a search committee to seek her replacement. She said she expects an easy transition for her successor. The Kirby opened on Friday, Sept. 19, 1986. Capital improvements In a release issued by the Kirby Center, it was noted Santarelli has served as a member of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts since 2003 and facilitated the Kirby Centers hosting of the prestigious Governors Awards for the Arts in 2006. Santarelli oversaw more than $7 million in capital improvements that included the completion of a faade project, installation of an electronic marquis, a remodeled box ofce, energy efcient lighting and the complete restoration of the main lobbies and theater. According to the release, during Santarellis tenure: The centers endowment doubled from $1 million to $2 million. The center has been instrumental in the revitalization of downtown WilkesBarre and continues as a force in economic development. Staff at the center has grown to 16 full-time employees, 20 part-timers and 100 volunteers. A range of up to 40 local union stage hands are employed at each show. It is estimated the center annually impacts the local economy by $5 million. Marilyn has worked tirelessly to fulll the strategic initiatives of the Kirby, said John Nackley, CEO and president of Inter-metro Industries and chairman of the Board of Directors at the center. Under Marilyns leadership the F.M. Kirby Center has experience unprecedented growth and has been reinvented so that today this historic landmark is a beacon of light in arts and entertainment in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Santarelli said she has mixed feelings about her decision, saying that the Kirby has been her life for 15 years. But there comes a time in every persons life that tells you maybe its time for new challenge, she said. According to the most recent IRS Form 990 covering the scal year that ended June 30, 2011, Santarelli was paid $105,000 annually. Nardone said his next show at the Kirby Dec. 14 will be a Christmas Doo Wop show. This show will be one of the last under Marilyns leadership, Nardone said. Shes always made it easy to put these shows on.

A-Rod
From page 1A in a statement. The suspensions are thought to be the most at once for off-the-eld conduct since 1921, when Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned eight Chicago White Sox players for life for throwing the 1919 World Series against Cincinnati: Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Happy Felsh, Chick Gandil, Fred McMullen, Charles Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver and Claude Lefty Williams. They had been suspended by the team the previous year and were penalized by baseball even though they had been acquitted of criminal charges. As for the modern-day All-Stars, Cruz, an outelder, leads Texas in homers and RBIs, while Peralta is a top hitter and solid shortstop for Detroit. Both teams are in the midst of pennant races. Others agreeing to 50-game bans included Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and outelder Fernando Martinez; Philadelphia pitcher Antonio Bastardo; Seattle catcher Jesus Montero; New York Mets inelder Jordany Valdespin and outelder Cesar Puello; Houston pitcher Sergio Escalona; and free agent pitchers Fautino De Los Santos and Jordan Norberto. While the players association has fought many drug penalties over the past three decades, attitudes of its membership have shifted sharply in recent years and union staff encouraged settlements in the Biogenesis probe. The accepted suspensions announced today are consistent with the punishments set forth in the Joint Drug Agreement, and were arrived at only after hours of intense negotiations between the bargaining parties, the players and their representatives, union head Michael Weiner said. For the player appealing, Alex Rodriguez, we agree with his decision to ght

PLAYERS TIES TO AREA

Of the 13 players suspended by MLB on Monday, eight including Alex Rodriguez have ties to the area. Rodriguez played last month for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on a rehab assignment and did the same in 2011. On the RailRiders current roster, but on the disabled list, is Fernando Martinez, who was acquired by the Yankees in June and assigned to SWB. Scranton/Wilkes-Barres roster also consisted of catchers Jesus Montero (2010-11) and Francisco Cervelli (2009, 10,11). Other named athletes played in the International League at one point in their careers and likely saw action against the local Triple-A team. Valdespin saw action for Buffalo last year against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had three run-scoring hits against SWB helping the Bisons to nab three wins. Peralta also played for Buffalo, but while with the Indians organization. He played against the Red Barons in 2003 and 2004. Pitchers Sergio Escalona (2009) and Antonio Bastardo (2009-10) played for Lehigh Valley. his suspension. We believe that the Commissioner has not acted appropriately The union, consistent with its history, will defend his rights vigorously. Fighting a brain tumor diagnosed a year ago, Weiner spoke in a raspy voice during a conference call and said the unions executive board will consider stiffer drug penalties when players meet in December. But the union will ght Rodriguezs discipline. Weve never had a 200-plus (game) penalty for a player who may have used drugs, he said. And among other things, I just think thats way out of line.

Party 101
From page 1A strides in the battle against binge drinking on campus and downtown. University of Iowa spokesman Tom Moore said The Princeton Review gets some things right, by describing Iowa as an affordable Big Ten university with students who are both studious and social. That indicates they are balancing their academic responsibilities with their social pursuits, he said. The rankings are based on surveys in which an average of 333 students per campus are asked 80 questions about a range of subjects in the last three school years. Its methodology uses a vepoint scale, allowing for school-to-school comparisons. Universities routinely dismiss the rankings as unscientic and invalid, while praising the free publicity that comes along with positive ones. For instance, Emerson College is likely to embrace its ranking Monday as the most LGBT-friendly school, and the University of Mississippi will certainly tout its most beautiful campus designation.

Kyle Petty: Its not our job to ask the fluff

JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer

Strong pitching propels Harveys Lake/Swoyersville

The Times Leader staff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Kyle Petty, the driverturned-analyst with the unltered opinions, has angered someone new. Petty didnt mean to make Denny Hamlin mad with his televised comments before Sundays race at Pocono. Hamlin, who saw the segment on Speed, tweeted before the race Kyle Petty is a moron, and was still venting about Petty after crashing out 14 laps into the race. Turns out, Hamlin had every right to be upset. Petty admitted to The Associated Press on Monday he had misinterpreted previous statements made by Hamlin, and the opinion Petty presented pre-race about Hamlin was incorrect. If you are going to run your mouth, if you are going to dish it out, you gotta take

it, and the bone of contention here is that Denny is 100 percent right, Petty said. I can take it, I can say that Im wrong and that I misinterpreted what Denny said. Actually, thats not the bone of contention at all. The issue at hand is that Petty has found his voice to be the loudest and most polarizing in a sport lled with NASCAR partners often too timid to rufe any feathers. Nobody wants to land on the wrong side of a driver, a crew chief, a team owner or NASCAR itself. And with the hours upon hours of programming to ll, its sometimes just easier to stay on good terms. Thats not who Petty is, and hell never play that game. He found himself in the news breaking journalism rule No. 1 last month when he said Danica Patrick was a marketing machine

Kurtz added three hits, including a double, and two runs, while C.J. Cercone laced two doubles and scored two runs in the win. Danny Gibbons chipped in two hits and three runs for Harveys Lake/Swoyersville. Joey Rowley recorded the lone hit for Hanover, while Max Mendryzcki and Evan Materna scored runs in the loss.

Sometimes I nd myself the lone dissenting voice in this sea of political correctness, and I dont think everything has to be politically correct. Facts are facts, and honestly, its just my opin-

There are things that need to be examined, that need to be called out, and I seem to be the only one that says it. Thats the only way Ive always been. Its just my opinion. Its just my question.

Veteran driver dies after crash at Pa. track

ABBOTTSTOWN Veteran Sprint Car driver Kramer Williamson died from injuries suffered during a qualifying race at Lincoln Speedway in central Pennsylvania, according to race organizers and the coroners ofce. Williamson, 63, of Palmyra, was pronounced dead at York Hospital at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday, the York County coroners ofce said. He had suffered serious injuries in a crash that occurred Saturday night during the United Racing Company 358/360 Sprint Car Challenge. Investigators said Williamsons pink No. 73 car was on the fourth lap of a 10-lap qualifying round when it climbed onto another car and crashed into a retaining wall on the second turn, climbing the fence before returning to the track and ipping over several times.

Fiery Smith gives Steelers special teams a boost

WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer

Pittsburgh Steelers special teams coach Danny Smith works on kicking drills at the team training facility in Latrobe. Pittsburgh hired Smith in the offseason after he spent nearly a decade in the same position with the Washington Redskins.

AP photo

LATROBE Danny Smiths voice is a wreck. Already. A week into training camp, the new Pittsburgh Steelers special teams coachs folksy drawl has already been reduced to a raspy whisper. Except, of course, when hes working. For all the agony Smith puts his vocal chords through on the practice eld, it never deserts him when hes got a whistle around his neck and a football in his hands. Then, almost magically, the rasp is replaced by a steady roar that thunders off the dormitories at Saint Vincent College. Its a wonderful thing, Smith said. The dear Lord gave me an opportunity to get (my voice) back quite often and fast. I dont really know why. I never studied that. Ive just been lucky. Hes also been loud. Smith coaches at a volume that attempts to command order out of the chaos. During his more than three decades on the sidelines the 59-year-old Smith has coached every-

thing from running backs to tight ends. Yet hes found a home running the part of the game that is often left to the wind or the bounce of an oblong ball. Its a position that comes with its own set of neuroses. During his nine-year stay with the Washington Redskins from 2004-12, Smith would pace frantically during warmups out of fear hed see a bad kick that would sense his heart rate soaring. If you hit one bad punt in pregame or missed a eld goal in pregame, hed be all over the top of you, Redskins punter Sav Rocca said. Hed get too stressed and think Why the hell have we got this guy here for if he cant hit a punt in pregame sort of thing. Eventually, Smith decided to hide in the locker room until opening kickoff. Not that it does much to calm him down. Out in the middle of a stadium, Smith doesnt have much need for calm anyway. Last he checked its not part of the job description. What is part of the job description is nding a mix of players at various parts of their career to work together for a common goal. Its the part of the

job that Smith loves the most. Nobody comes into the NFL wanting to play special teams, but everybody from rookies looking for a roster spot to veterans holding onto the last threads of their careers will nd their way into Smiths meetings. Thats where hes at his best, histrionics aside. I just have a passion, Smith said. I feel like Im a good communicator. I feel like Ive got good leadership skills. Its just I take great pride in coaching and teaching and seeing that stuff on the eld and getting guys in successful situations. Even if the instances can sometimes be hard to come by. One wrong shove on a punt return here, one missed blocking assignment on a eld goal attempt there can shift the whole momentum of a game. The fact Smith survived nine seasons under three different head coaches in Washington speaks to his commitment. Its why the Steelers didnt hesitate to scoop him up, returning Smith to his hometown after a nomadic 30 years in the business. The move also reunites Smith with

kicker Shaun Suisham, who evolved from just another leg in camp into an NFL lifer thanks in part to Smiths energetic guidance. Suisham earned his rst full-time job with the Redskins in 2007 and is coming off the best year of his career. He made 28 of 31 eld goals last year, including a couple of gamewinners. The moment Suisham ran into Smith when organized team activities began in May, it was as if theyd only seen each other a week ago. Call it a testament to the relationship Smith tries to cultivate with every player at his disposal. Is it easy to get caught up in the show Smith puts on? Of course. After awhile, though, the players grow to appreciate Smiths depth of knowledge and his emotional investment in their own development. All the yelling and running around, thats Danny Smith, but when you watch him do that stuff, watch the players around him and how well they relate to him, Suisham said. All the guys are involved, locked in, listening and learning, following his direction.

Manziel being looked at for payments

The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas Johnny Football is practicing with Texas A&M. Whether he starts the season opener is another question. Coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday said he would not speculate when asked if Johnny Manziel will be his starter on Aug. 31 against Rice following an ESPN report that the NCAA is investigating whether the Heisman Trophy winner was paid for signing hundreds of autographs last January. Theres a lot of people involved in that decision, Sumlin said without being specic. If Manziel was paid for his autograph on memorabilia, it could potentially violate NCAA amateurism

rules and put his eligibility in question a year after his jaw-dropping performance on the eld made him the rst freshman to win the Heisman as college footballs top player. Speaking to the media as the team began preseason practices in earnest, Sumlin said he learned of the ESPN report Sunday. For now, Manziel will lead the Aggies. But his coach is clearly thinking of backups, too. Hell get as many reps as he was going to get yesterday, Sumlin said of Manziel, before adding: Weve got to develop a backup quarterback no matter what. The report is just the latest in a string of off-theeld distractions caused by Manziel. Hes made headlines for tweeting that he cant wait to leave College Station, despite

having three years of eligibility remaining, he allegedly overslept at a football camp run by the Manning family and was supposedly kicked out of a University of Texas fraternity party in the last couple of months. The 20-year-old sophomore calmly answered questions after questions at SEC media days last month, acknowledging his eventful offseason and indicating he needed to make better decisions because hes such a public gure. I dont feel like Ive done anything thats catastrophic, Manziel said then. Of course, Ive made my mistakes. Its time to grow up. Last week, Manziel tweeted: I aint perfect, I aint insane but I AM worth itif theres one thing I am worth it.

The antics have overshadowed what is expected to be a banner year for Texas A&M. The Aggies are coming off an 11-2 record in their rst season in the SEC after moving from the Big 12, a year highlighted by Manziel leading Texas A&M to an upset win at No. 1 Alabama. The rematch in College Station is Sept. 14. But instead of answering questions about his expectations for the season, Sumlin was left to respond to question after question about Manziel. Ive been through different things, Sumlin said. As a coach when those things happen, its not what happens to you, its how you deal with it. Weve got a veteran staff that knows how to deal with different situations.

Jets fans voice displeasure at training camp

DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Sports Writer

CORTLAND, N.Y. Rex Ryan has moved on from last season. He hopes New York Jets fans can, too. The coach refused to tell frustrated Jets fans Monday to take their boos elsewhere, but also reminded them that this is a new season, with new hopes and expectations. Im not going to say Im disappointed in our fans, but I think we need to move forward, Ryan said. The things from the past are in the past. Lets just focus on what we have in front of us. Were all going to make mistakes. Were all going to turn the ball over. We dont like to, but those are things that are going to happen. The subject came up because Mark Sanchez, competing with rookie Geno Smith for the starting job, was booed loudly by some of the 6,000 fans at SUNY Cortland

on Saturday night when he threw an interception during the teams scrimmage. Sanchez had an NFL-leading 52 turnovers in the last two seasons, something that has left many fans hoping for Smith to win the job. Antonio Cromartie, who made the interception, said Saturday he thought the reaction by fans was bull and added, You dont come out here and boo anybody. Ryan understands the fans disappointment, even if he didnt particularly like the booing. Fans have the right to do anything they want, Ryan said. I think with us, the entire team, this is our teammate no matter who it is in the green and white. We want our fans behind us at all times. Obviously, guys make mistakes. I think thats probably the reaction we had: We dont want our guys getting booed, especially from our fans because we all wear green and white, including our fans.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Ohio State University will donate $181,000 to two local child-advocacy organizations from funds it received from the Big Ten Conferences sanctions against Penn State. Ohio State on Monday announced it will allocate money to the Nationwide

Childrens Hospital Center for Family Safety and Healing and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Franklin County. The funds stem from sanctions against Penn State that required the school to relinquish $2.3 million of conference bowl revenue the school would have earned had it been allowed to play in

the postseason. The 12 schools in the conference, including Penn State, received a share of the money to donate to children-focused charities. The NCAA also imposed landmark sanctions on Penn State following a sweeping child sexual abuse scandal involving retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Big Ten
From page 1B I like our football team, Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. I usually dont say that. I said it after the spring. I will continue to say it because I like how theyve handled themselves on the eld and off the eld so far this summer. I like their work ethic, and I like how theyve represented Michigan in a lot of ways. Denard Robinson is gone after a stellar career, but Gardner is back to provide the same sort of sizzle in Michigans backeld. The 6-foot-4 junior began last season at wide receiver, and then played quarterback for the last ve games. He threw for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns against ve interceptions, and also had 101 yards and seven TDs on the ground. Gardner is a work in progress I have to start to checking the ball down. Always want the big play, he said but AP photo his teammates have noticed a change in New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith throws a pass at training the former Detroit prep star since he camp in Cortland, N.Y. became the starter behind center. Clippard said. So thats frustrating. I think anybody can relate to that. If theyre not doing things the right way, and theyre beating you, then it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. So thats why this is so important. Because nobody players, ownership nobody wants to see guys cheat. Several fed-up players were openly critical of Ryan Braun last month when the 2011 NL MVP agreed to a 65-game suspension, the rst signicant fallout from the Biogenesis case. His penalty came a year after the Milwaukee Brewers slugger avoided a 50-game ban when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled. Braun had insisted he was innocent. Other players felt betrayed. We want these guys out of the game. We want all those drugs out of the game. I think theres more guys who have done it the right way than not, so I think thats why its turning that way, Atlanta third baseman Chris Johnson said. We all knew this day was coming. But I think were glad that its happened. Players were sometimes surprised to see friends involved. Angels outelder Josh Hamilton was Cruzs teammate in Texas and said he enjoyed playing with him. Some guys keep certain parts of their lives to themselves. So you take them from what you see, said Hamilton, suspended earlier in his career for recreational drug use. Weve all made mistakes. Some mistakes are different than others, and some are the same. Its just one of those things where he made a poor decision and now hes having to deal with the conHes grown right into it, senior safety Thomas Gordon said. Hes a lot more comfortable. You can see that. While Gardner is the toast of Ann Arbor, he has a ways to go to match the celebrity that Martinez enjoys in Nebraska. The senior star, who accounted for a school-record 3,890 yards of offense and 33 touchdowns last season, spent more than an hour signing autographs during one recent trip to the mall. Martinez has started 39 consecutive games for the Cornhuskers and will leave the school with several offensive records. While he will go down as one of the best players ever at the powerhouse program, he doesnt seem too concerned with his legacy headed into his nal year. Ive done a lot so far in my career, so Ive just got to take this season for what its worth and just enjoy it and just remember everything that happens, Martinez said. tory a monumental day, St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. I think overall the guys are happy to see it kind of come to a head, be talked about today and get it over with, and just keep playing. With all that transpired recently, Indians manager Terry Francona said he felt for Commissioner Bud Selig and even called him Monday. Around 10 minutes later, Selig called back. We spoke for about ve or 10 minutes and he was like, this doesnt need to be a dark day for baseball. This needs to be the beginning of the good stuff. He didnt say it like that, but I dont articulate as well as him, Francona said. But I agree with him. Major League Baseball did something really difcult today, but sometimes the right thing is the difcult thing.

Bans

From page 1B mean, come on. Enough of that. Lets just play some baseball and stop trying to be a role model. All those quotes (from Rodriguez), theyre hilarious for everybody in our clubhouse. Peralta was one of three 2013 All-Stars who accepted 50-game suspensions and admitted using prohibited substances. The others were Texas right elder Nelson Cruz, also on a pennant contender, and San Diego shortstop Evereth Cabrera. If all the allegations are true, then Im glad they got caught and Im glad baseball is doing something about it, Royals reliever Aaron Crow said. It shocks me that people try to get away with it. I guess some people think the risk is worth it. Its just unfor-

tunate that its still going on. Hopefully this helps. Rodriguez, Cruz, Peralta and Cabrera had all been linked for months in media reports to Biogenesis of America, a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performanceenhancing drugs. But there were a couple of surprises, too, including Philadelphia pitcher Antonio Bastardo and New York Mets second baseman Jordany Valdespin, who was demoted to the minors last month. Washington reliever Tyler Clippard recalled a blown save in July 2012 when he gave up a tying homer to Valdespin in the ninth inning. Thats the kind of stuff you think about. Youre like, those guys are doing stuff thats affecting my career and theyre not playing the game the right way,

sequences. Opinions around the majors were mixed. Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said even though none of his players were implicated, its a sad day for baseball and we are all affected by it. Twins closer Glen Perkins said the game is cleaner now than it was yesterday. Its a bad and a good day, said Cleveland designated hitter Jason Giambi, who testied two years ago that Barry Bonds personal trainer supplied him with performance-enhancing drugs. Youre dealing with human beings and theyre going to make mistakes, but the game is going in the right direction. And one thing was certain: Mondays suspensions wont soon be forgotten. Its a big day and its one of the days to be marked in baseball his-

Dodgers win 15th in a row on road

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS Zack Greinke pitched into the seventh inning and raised his batting average to .405 with an RBI single, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers win their 15th straight on the road with a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Nick Punto was productive subbing for injured shortstop Hanley Ramirez and the Dodgers got an RBI apiece from Andre Ethier and A.J. Ellis while matching the Cincinnati Reds 15-game run in 1957. Theyre two wins shy of the NL record set by the 1916 New York Giants. Greinke (9-3) allowed two runs in 6 1-3 innings for his 100th career victory, allowing two hits in the third, fourth and fth but no runs. Paco Rodriguez earned his second career save with a perfect ninth. Adam Wainwright (137) gave up three runs in

seven innings and failed in his third straight attempt at winning his 14th.

WASHINGTON Justin Upton led off the eighth inning with a tiebreaking homer, and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves extended their winning streak to a seasonhigh 11 games by beating the fading Washington Nationals. Freddie Freeman drove in Atlantas rst two runs with a pair of singles in the third and fth. Reliever David Carpenter (3-0) earned the win by retiring all ve batters he faced.

CLEVELAND Alex Avilas three-run homer in the ninth inning off closer Chris Perez rallied the Detroit Tigers to their ninth straight win. The Tigers were three outs away from having their lead in the AL Central cut to two games before their comeback against Perez (4-2), who had converted 11 consecutive save opportunities. After Victor Martinezs RBI single made it 2-1, Perez walked Andy Dirks before Avila drove a 1-0 pitch over the wall in leftcenter for his ninth homer, stunning a Cleveland crowd ready to celebrate the teams biggest win this season. Al Alburquerque (2-2) got one in the eighth and Joaquin Benoit worked the ninth for his 13th save.

Minus suspended stars, teams keep up playoff push

BEN WALKER
AP Baseball Writer

Jose Iglesias and a fresh band of Texas Rangers now have All-Star spikes to ll. The playoff races took a twist Monday when Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta and Texas outelder Nelson Cruz were suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis drug case. In all, 13 players were penalized. The AL Central-leading Tigers acquired Iglesias from Boston in a threeteam trade last week, preparing to play minus Peralta. The contending Rangers called up two outelders from Triple-A soon after Cruz was banned. Who knows how it is going to hurt them with Peralta and Cruz being out? Who knows who comes up and how theyll do? Well see how it shakes up, Kansas City pitcher Aaron Crow said. Crow has a rooting interest. The Royals could wind up chasing both affected teams Detroit in the division, Texas for a wildcard spot. You never want to see someone get in trouble like that. But if it makes their team not as good, thats good for us, Crow said. Peralta, hitting .305 with 11 home runs and 54 RBIs, and Cruz, leading the Rangers with 27 homers and 76 RBIs, will be eligible for Game 1 of the playoffs if their teams make it.

MVP Melky Cabrera served a 50-game suspension that ended in October. The San Francisco Giants kept him off the roster on their way to winning the World Series. Yeah, that happened to San Francisco last year and they survived it with Melky, said manager Fredi Gonzalez of NL Eastleading Atlanta. But some teams might not be able to survive it when you lose a player. As for whether Peralta and Cruz would denitely be welcomed back, no determination yet. Right now, thats not something were going to tackle at this point, Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said. We dont have to make that decision. Thats way down the road, so well focus on what we need to do, which is to win ballgames and worry about that question later on. Said Texas GM Jon Daniels: Assuming that theres no other information that were not yet aware of and if his teammates welcome him back, and Nellie handles this well, which I expect he probably will, then were open to it. Looking for insurance, the Tigers got Iglesias from the Red Sox before last weeks trade deadline in a three-team deal that included the Chicago White Sox. Iglesias was hitting a combined .323 with two homers and 21 RBIs when the suspensions were announced. Hes split his time this season between third base and shortstop. It will change the look of our ballclub a little

bit, but well move on, Dombrowski said. I think we still have a chance to win a world championship. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was suspended through the end of next season, but appealed the penalty and can play until an arbitrator decides the case, which isnt expected until November or December at the earliest. New York is on the fringe of the playoff race and desperate for power the 38-year-old Rodriguez has 647 career homers. We have a mission to enter the postseason, he said. We have challenges. San Diego All-Star shortstop Everth Cabrera and Philadelphia lefty reliever Antonio Bastardo also were penalized. Their teams are below .500 and far back in the races. Texas promoted outelders Engel Beltre and Joey Butler from Triple-A Round Rock. Speedy Craig Gentry might get more playing time, too, in the Rangers rejiggered lineup without Cruz. Its upsetting a little bit, Gentry said. Hes a great teammate and hes been a big part of this ballclub for a lot of years. Its going to be a little bit tough not having him around. Especially with the way he was hitting. It goes without saying were not going to replace Nelsons production with any one player, whether thats internally or via a trade, Daniels said. But were going to be creative. Its a challenge for us, with Nelsons history of production and the year hes having.

off day on Monday, but the team was still active. Their parent club, the New York Yankees, made a few moves that affected the local squad. Even though slugger Alex Rodriguez was suspended by Major League Baseball, he appealed his suspension and saw his rst action of the season in the big leagues. Since he was activated off the 60-day disabled list, room had to be made. That meant former RailRider Brent Lillibridge was designated for assignment. Lillibridge batted .119 (7 for 59) for the Yankees, but was on re when he played for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a .341 batting average, seven home runs, an on-base percentage of .409 and a slugging percentage of .521 in 23 games. He will have to clear waivers in order to be re-assigned to Triple-A. Thats not good news for the RailRiders, who are ghting for their playoff lives, begining Monday in fth place and seven games behind International League North Division leader Rochester. SWBs elimination number in the division is 22, meaning any combination of losses by the team and wins by the Red Wings eliminates the team from playoff contention. The RailRiders are also ve games behind Pawtucket in the Wild Card standings, but four other team are in between the two rivals. Scranton/Wilkes-Barres elimination number for the last playoff spot is 25. In other roster moves by the Yankees, Derek Jeter was placed back on the disabled list with yet another leg injury.

roster, inelder David Adams was recalled from the RailRiders. It will be the third time this season Adams has been promoted to New York. Adams has played in 38 games for the Yankees this season and 45 for the RailRiders. He has a pair of homers for N.Y. and four for SWB. In related news, outelder Thomas Neal, who designated for assignment by the Yankees last week, was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Neal hit .325 with two homers and a .391 on base percentage. He batted just .182 (2 for 11) in limited time this season for New York. Fernando Martinez, currently on the disabled list with the RailRiders, was one of the 13 players suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday. Martinez was a .325 hitter with four homers and 18 RBI for the RailRiders in 22 games after being acquired from Houston in June.

IN BRIEF

Revlon buying competitor

Revlon is buying Colomer Group, a Spanish company that sells hair dye and other products to beauty salons, for about $660 million, saying the deal will help it reach new salon customers and cut costs. Colomer markets products under brands such as Revlon Professional hair care, which it currently licenses from Revlon. It also runs a hair care business under the Creme of Nature brand and sells nail polish and body lotions. About half its sales are in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, while 40 percent come from the U.S. The New York company sells Revlon and Almay makeup, Revlon ColorSilk hair dye and other beauty products. The deal is expected to close in the last three months of 2013 and add to Revlons earnings in the rst year after its complete.

Rubbing you right way, right where you are

DREW SCHAUB With jobs stressing plenty of employees, a massage therapist from Nanticoke is looking to bring relief right to the workplace. John Rusen, 34, has started Knead A Break, a mobile massage business that concentrates on bringing his skills to clients homes and businesses. Rusen became certied as a massage therapist after he received his training from the FORTIS Institute in Scranton in 2010. Before that he held numerous jobs working in ofces and restaurants, so he said he is well acquainted with the stress that accompanies a 9-to-5 job. Rusen started this business because he noticed that many employees were stressed out but didnt know how to cope with it. He said he has heard from some people that they either dont need or dont deserve a massage. These are the customers he strives to cater to because they often get the most out of it, he said. Working with employees is his passion and, as a result, he tries to offer affordable rates to appeal to this population. He also hopes to keep his customers coming back. I would forgo a higher pay rate for a regular client, added Rusen. Eventually, his hope is to have companies pick up the tab for their employees massages because the companies also see the benets of relieving stress. Im helping them to lead a better life and to better their body for more longevity, so they can work more, he said. Knead A Break is among the rst mobile massage provider in the area, Rusen said. Rusen started his business after he noticed a lack of massage businesses that would go to the clients place of work. His immediate goal is to carve out a niche of employers that will provide their workers with massages to combat a lack of motivation. In a few years, Rusen hopes to have his own brick-and-mortar location, where he will be able to offer a wider range of services, such as full-body massages on tables. He uses a massage chair when making calls because it is easier to transport and set up. Also, the chair is more conducive to the work environment because it doesnt involve oils or the removal of any clothing. Though he enjoys visiting workplaces, he also makes house calls, which, he said, is where a lot of people feel most comfortable getting massages. When not making calls, he does provide massage services out of his Nanticoke home. But only a small percentage of business comes from this because it is so much more convenient for patrons when he goes to them, he said. Potential customers may contact Rusen by calling 877-9500 or by emailing John.Rusen@ yahoo.com

Airline merger gets European nod

Will fast-food protestssupersizewages?

SHARON COHEN
AP National Writer

The European Unions Commission has cleared US Airways proposed merger with American Airlines parent AMR Corp. on the condition that they give up one slot at Londons Heathrow airport and take steps to foster competition on the London-Philadelphia route. The merger and restructuring plan must still be approved by a U.S. federal judge before AMR can emerge from bankruptcy, and the U.S. Department of Justice is still reviewing the deal amid complaints that it could lead to reduced competition and higher fares. Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy Joaquin Almunia said in a statement the Philadelphia route would have been monopolized without concessions agreed to provisionally by the two airlines.

Liquor profits soar in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is reporting record prots for the scal year that ended June 30. The board said Monday that robust sales and cost controls resulted in net income of $128.4 million. Thats an increase of $24.9 million, or 24 percent more than the previous years. The board says revenue from its Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores reached nearly $2.2 billion for the year, a 4.5 increase. It says retail wine sales showed the strongest growth, a 6 percent increase, thanks in part to the Chairmans Selection program. The rosy gures come in the aftermath of an unsuccessful effort by Gov. Tom Corbett and fellow Republicans who control the Legislature to privatize liquor and wine sales in Pennsylvania.

Terrance Wise has two jobs in Kansas City one at a burger joint, a second at a pizza restaurant but he says his paychecks arent enough to buy shoes for his three daughters and insure his 15-year-old car. So he decided to draw attention to his plight: He walked off work in protest. Wise was among a few thousand fast-food workers in seven cities, including New York, Chicago and Detroit, who took to the streets last week, carrying Strike and Supersize Our Wages signs in front of McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King and other restaurants. They demanded better pay, the right to unionize and a more than doubling of the federal minimum hourly wage from $7.25 to $15. We work hard for compa-

nies that are making millions, the 34-year-old Wise says, adding that he lost his home last year, unable to make mortgage payments despite working

about 50-hour weeks at Pizza Hut and Burger King. Were not asking for the world. We want to make enough to make a decent living. We deserve

better. If they respect us and pay us and treat us right, itll lift up the whole economy. These one-day protests, which also took place in St.

Louis, Milwaukee and Flint, Mich., come amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to raise the federal minimum wage, which was last increased in 2009. Most of the proposals, though, seek a more modest rise than those urged by fast-food workers. President Barack Obama wants to boost the hourly wage to $9. And in July, more than 100 economists signed a petition supporting a bill sponsored by a Florida congressman that would hike it to $10.50 an hour. The restaurant industry argues that a $15 hourly wage could lead to businesses closings and fewer jobs. It also notes the cost of living varies greatly around the country and many states have higher minimum wages than the federal rate. (Eighteen states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.)

The stock has been down 30 percent since January 2013 and has lost nearly 70 percent of its value since early 2012, when investor bullishness about Johnsons turnaround plan pushed shares up to $43. Berman lls the void left by Michael Francis, who departed in June 2012 after being hired by Johnson eight months earlier. Francis, who was president and marketing chief, was responsible for marketing a new pricing plan created by Johnson. After Francis left, Johnson himself oversaw marketing, until he was red in April.

Bermans appointment is the latest management change under Ullman, who returned to Penneys helm in April when the board red Johnson after only 17 months on the job. Since then, nearly a dozen senior executives, many hired by Johnson, have left. Ullman is trying to replace them to help reverse Penneys fortunes. Hes also working to stabilize the business by bringing back basic merchandise and more frequent sales that were eliminated by Johnson in a failed bid to attract younger, hipper customers.

Help! Ive been bitten by a black widow

The black-widow spider is one of six poisonous kinds of spiders in the United States. It is part of the arachnid family. Its body is about one-half inch long (smaller than a dime), and it has long legs. The black widow spider is shiny and black with a red-orange or yellow mark in the shape of an hourglass on its stomach. Black-widow spiders and their relatives can be found almost anywhere in the Western hemisphere of the world in damp and dark places. Their favorite places are wood piles, tree stumps, trash piles, storage sheds, fruit and vegetable gardens, in stone walls and under rocks. If they come inside, they will go to dark places like corners of closets, garages or behind furniture. They are shy by nature and bite only when trapped, sat on or accidentally touched. A person who gets bitten by a blackwidow spider might not know it right away, because the bite can sometimes feel like a little pinprick. After 30 to 40 minutes, though, the area of the bite will swell and hurt a lot.

medications to help relax the muscles and reduce pain. They sometimes give antivenin, a medication that ghts the venom in the spiders bite, What you should do if someone who has been bitten has Black-widow spider bites rarely What a doctor will do underlying medical problems or kill people, but its important to get Doctors treat people who have been doesnt get better from the other medical attention as soon as you can bitten by black-widow spiders with medications.

because they can make you extremely sick. Wash the bite well with soap and water. Then apply an ice pack to the bite to slow down the spread of the spiders venom. Try to elevate the area and keep it still to help prevent the spread of venom. If its possible, catch and bring the spider to the doctors ofce with you. Even though its usually easy to identify black widows, youll want to make sure thats the kind of spider that bit you. The spider can be killed rst before you bring it with you; just be sure not to squish it so much that no one can tell what it is.

The best way to avoid getting bitten by black widow spiders is to be careful in areas where they like to spend time. Dont play around in rock piles or wood piles. If you are working outside in the yard in big piles of logs or leaves, wear gloves. Be sure to shake out blankets and clothing that have been stored in the attic or the basement, or if they have been in a closet but not used for a long time. If you are cleaning behind furniture, look carefully behind it before reaching around. If you keep your shoes in a mudroom or garage, shake them out before putting them on.

A milestone for one woman and for a medical center

Finally, Jennifer Jennings of Madison Township can eat mashed potatoes. On a more serious note, she believes now shell be able to complete requirements for her cosmetology license. Best of all, shes more condent shell live to see her two young daughters grow up. I feel very lucky, said Jennings, 30, who recently became the 100th recipient of a new kidney at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. Jennings, who has been battling kidney disease since age 12, is relieved to be free of dialysis, a procedure during which a machine ltered her blood for four hours every

said Jennings, who hurried to Geisinger to prepare for surgery. The transplant team, Dr. Manish Gupta and Dr. Chintalapati Varma, performed the delicate operation in 3.5 hours, carefully attaching blood vessels from the new kidney to arteries and veins in Jennings lower abdomen and attaching its ureter to her bladder. Only later would she nd out she is the 100th transplant patient at the local medical center, where the transplant program, which began in 2006, is devoted to kidneys. On a larger scale, the Geisinger Health System began its transplant program in 1981 at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.

I had no energy. Sometimes I had headaches, and Id be nauseous. On June 7, about ve minutes after the Lackawanna County woman returned home from her last dialysis treatment, the phone rang. A kidney was available. The patients ahead of her on the organ transplant list were not the best matches. Finally, after six years on dialysis, including ve years on the list, it was her turn. They said, How fast can you get down here? I was shaking. I was crying,

Transplant recipient Jennifer Jennings of Madison Township in Lackawanna County hopes her new kidney will help her have a long, happy life with her daughters, 4-year-old Isabella Oisano and 10-year-old Elizabeth Rosati.

boyfriend, Charles Pisano, who works long hours at a local landll, insisted on doing all the cleaning. He didnt want her to tax her energy. It was almost too much pampering, said Jennings, a self-described clean freak who wanted to take

care of the vacuuming and scouring herself. Now that she has more energy, Jennings said, she would like to nish the last nine hours of preparation she needs to earn a cosmetology license. That was a goal she abandoned more than a decade ago when

she dropped out of vocational-technical school. Im on SSI, she said, but I dont like sitting home and getting money. I want to earn it. Thanks to the transplant, she expects shell be able to follow that dream. Also thanks to the

transplant, she no longer has to follow a potassium-restricted diet, one that put orange juice and mashed potatoes on the dont list. I did miss mashed potatoes, she admitted. See MILESTONE | 2C

Are todays women drinking more than ever?

GRACIE BONDS STAPLES
Atlanta Journal Constitution

If youve ever accompanied a girlfriend to happy hour or a monthly book club meeting, its hardly a secret, perhaps, that she can make a glass of chardonnay disappear before you can say cocktail. But did you ever consider she might be standing at the edge of a liquor cliff? And if you didnt, Her Best Kept Secret: Why Women Drink and How They Can Regain Control is bound to make you reconsider. Gabrielle Glaser certainly has. I noticed a big change in the way women seemed to be drinking from the early 1990s to the early 2000s, Glaser said in response to an email last week about her book. I noticed young women drinking excessively pretty much everybody did but I also noticed a big uptick in how older women were drinking, too. Glaser wanted to know why increasing numbers of us white middle-

and upper-class women, in particular are turning to alcohol to cope with the issues of life. And so in just 187 pages she answers her own question, all the while exploring womens wacky history with alcohol. The short answer, Glaser said, is women are anxious, depressed, and feel anxious that theyre anxious and depressed. Drinking brings pretty swift relief to those feelings, at least temporarily, she said. Epidemiologists link female college attendance and working in male-dominated elds such as banking and technology to more drinking, but I also think its stress. They have jobs, kids, aging parents, worries about aging, nancial anxieties, a zillion activities they feel their kids have to be involved in. Wine is presented as a respectable release valve. When she started looking for statistics to demonstrate the changing drinking patterns, Glaser said the glass was half empty because women werent included in alcohol studies

until the 1970s, and then it was only a few. They didnt start getting included on a large scale until the 1990s, she said. Although many of the women she interviewed for the book didnt qualify as alcohol-dependent, Glaser said what was striking was how increasing numbers were being arrested for drunken driving or showing up in hospitals dangerously intoxicated while rates for men were falling or staying at. The number of middle-age women checking into rehab nearly tripled between 1992 and 2007, Glaser said. Whats more, while more young women binge drink, the older women who drink four drinks or more in a span of two hours do so with greater frequency. Those gures were startling. Glaser took four other questions from us: Q: What should women do if they believe their girlfriend is drinking too much?

A: I think its really important that we have open conversations about this topic. Nobody bats an eye if a girlfriend says she needs support in trying to lose 10 pounds. Friends help to go on walks or share diet tips or step in as running partners. But suggesting someone may need to step back from their drinking is tantamount to telling someone they have a terrible, scary problem. Its really important to know that there are new medical treatments that offer women a lot of hope and have high success rates. Q: The Centers for Disease Control recently reported that overdose deaths are rising fastest among middle-age women and that prescription drug use is to blame. Does this surprise you and, if so, why? A: It doesnt surprise me at all. Alcohol is easy to obtain and doesnt require a prescription. Its not illegal to walk into a liquor store, but if you really develop a problem, it is difcult to mask. You smell of alcohol, and your cognitive abilities are compro-

mised in an obvious way. From what I understand, painkillers can induce a euphoria that also gives people energy. People tell me that they feel lucid and capable in addition to pain-free. So many women prefer them to alcohol if they can get the prescription. Q: Do you think theres a connection between this and alcohol abuse among women? A: Yes, I think there is, and thats emblematic of a larger social problem. Our mothers had the support of their mothers and larger extended families when they were raising us, for the most part. In todays society, weve moved far away from our communities and sometimes dont even have one. Women have to do a lot supporting their families, cooking, cleaning, driving, matching the socks. The kids are so busy they often dont have time to help, but the house still needs to get clean. People get me all these funny sayings they See DRINKING | 2C

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. Though her job requires actress Andie MacDowell to be the center of attention, shed rather be bird watching or poring over a good book. The star of projects such as Sex, Lies and Videotape, Groundhog Day, Jane by Design, and spokeswoman for LOreal cosmetics, acknowledges shes part introvert and part extrovert. Im really both, she says in a sunny hotel room. Theres a deep piece of me that wants to be very personal and not share everything with everybody and not put it out there. Theres a piece of me that wants to hold on and not to have to be out in front. But theres another part of me thats perfectly ne with it. Its almost a dual personality, she says, smiling. Im not a party person. Im a nerd. Im not an extrovert in that way at all. The things I enjoy doing could be boring to somebody else. The actress whos starring in the Hallmark Channels rst prime-time scripted series, Debbie Macombers Cedar Cove, says that while she was shy as a girl, she was equally determined. I used to joke that I wanted to join the circus. And I did because we show up and when all the trailers are there in the morning on the set, they call that the circus. And in a sense, I did join the circus because youre traveling around and working with entertainers.

When she was still in pigtails she trudged to her local college to try out for a play. It was a calling I had for a long time, MacDowell says. And I talked to my parents and told them that I wanted to be an actor, but no one in my family was doing this. It was just something I had in my mind. I would put on shows in my garage. I took dance and would put on dance shows and get the neighbors to participate. Like a lot of kids I think that end up in the business, I think it was just in my genes, she shrugs. While in college she heard about the Elite Modeling Agency in New York, pocketed the $2,000 shed saved up and hauled off to New York. My dad didnt really want me to go because he wanted me to nish college, and I had no idea what I was going to do, but I said, Im sorry, Im going. And I left. I didnt even have a credit card. She blew most of her nest egg on a Ralph Lauren suit thinking it was required for interviews. That was a joke because all you need are jeans and a T-shirt, she says. Also they dont wear any makeup because they want to see what you look like without anything. I looked in magazines and xed my makeup and my hair and went in with the suit on and found that was all wrong. She was hired practically on the spot and found herself on a dizzying array of modeling assignments beginning in Paris. The rst guy I met was Olivier Chandon, heir to Moet et

Chandon (champagne), and he was my best friend. He was very much like me. He didnt drink, didnt party. I traveled all around. I had to go to all these countries by myself, travel around by myself, nobody was helping me. I barely could talk to my family because to call home then cost a fortune. I got a great education. That education led to her lm career, two marriages and three children. The collapse of her rst marriage was devastating, she says. Its not really something I like to talk about. Its interesting I say my divorce because the second marriage was so fast it just wasnt the same. And divorce is horrible. I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy. I dont think its anything thats ever

completely resolved. Thats something Im actually able to do on the show, with (the character) Olivia when Olivia goes through a divorce. I was able to use some of my own experiences with the loss of the love of your life, the loss of the father of your children. Its a huge part in the life of many women I know. I can usually tell when a woman is going through a divorce because they look so gaunt and tired and sad. Its just a huge sadness. Its horrible. Its like death, you mourn but the persons still there. She probably wouldnt marry again, she says. Im a pretty traditional person but I think weve come a long way in our ideas of what it means to be married or not married. For me, its sad to say, but I would probably have a spiritual marriage but not a legal marriage, because I think so much about marriage starts to become about nances. It has nothing to do with God or feelings or the romantic side of marriage. Its about who owns what, who gets what? So whats the point? She enjoys her downtime at her ranch in Montana. There are a lot of things I want to do there with conservation. My kids are really interested in conservation, and they love animals, so I think the connection I really want to make is through the land and having to do with wildlife. Ive already made a substantial commitment to wildlife by putting my land in the easement. It wont be developed. It will remain there in perpetuity will be there for the wild life.

Help is plentiful for military veterans who want to go back to school

Dear Abby: This letter is for Torn in Milford, Conn. (May 16). I returned to college after 20 years of active duty and know firsthand how difficult the transition can be. Most universities have a veterans service office where he might be able to connect with students with similar backgrounds and experiences to his. There should also be chapters of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars where he can meet others. I was fortunate that the university I attended (at age 45) had a dorm floor specifically for nontraditional students like me. In classes, I was able to make friends because my unique

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE experiences enabled me to connect to the material in ways younger students could not, and by sharing those connections, people got to know me. Starting over starting something new is always difficult, but no education is ever wasted. If he does want to explore a career in security, Torn should take a part-time job while attending school to help cover expenses; universities always need highly skilled employees, and university towns are filled with venues that require such skills. Nontraditional Student, Ekalaka, Mont.

Dear Nontraditional Student: Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Your support and encouragement for Torn to complete his college education was endorsed by many other vets and college professors, who find vets to be great students: Dear Abby: Im concerned that there may be more going on with Torn than just that he/she doesnt fit in with peers in school. Being a combat vet and feeling disconnected from peers or having a desire to return to what they knew before (security work) is a sign of PTSD. Missing work is often code for survivors guilt. (If I could go back and make it right, perhaps my buddy would be here, or I would be with my buddy.)

There are services available for vets suffering from PTSD if they recognize the need to reach out for them. Also, if this vet is using his/her educational benefits, then the chances of there being a training plan to help in readjustment is likely. Vet Who Made it Through Dear Abby: I am a longtime college professor. Many bright students, young and old, have similar complaints. Torn, you sound like a great student, as many vets are. Try evening classes. Theyre usually available to any enrolled student and are the same courses taught in day sections. Students enrolled in these classes are mostly working adults. See if your college has online cours-

es, so you wont have to deal with the students in person, although you may have to take part in online discussions. Check out your colleges career services office and find a part-time job. This will give you a different peer group, plus give you some experience in your field. Your colleges veterans office may also have helpful resources for you. I hope these ideas will help your college experience to be more pleasant and productive. Dr. M. in Oklahoma City

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The people who bring you joy and the people who bring you stress are one and the same now. The effort you put into making relationships good is a big part of what endears you to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Unexpected encounters have more of a charge to them than the expected ones. Thats why its worth it to come up with a few surprises. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If it seems like a relationship is changing and perhaps growing a bit more distant, thats because it is. Its for the better. Youll be closer in the end for having this luxury of personal space. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There may be a few instances in which you feel comfortable enough to let someone lead you through dangerous territory. Be careful not to assume a false sense of security in this situation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a dynamic presence, and youll shine in the right moment. But dont try to shine all of the time. It only attracts too much attention, and you wont know what to do with it all. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Defending your space is important, but if thats all you do, youll have too narrow of a life. Letting people infringe on you may be the thing thats needed to break open a new adventure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You dont have to talk to communicate. The very way you animate your body is a message. Your awareness in this regard makes you most effective today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to be assertive but not dominating. Youll walk a narrow line with this today. Stay aware of the feedback others give you, and youll remain in good graces. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you express your honest feelings and needs, you may remember a time when you didnt feel at liberty to do so. You no longer have a reason to take the submissive role, and this is something to celebrate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Todays luck centers on your emotional life. Youll experience improvements not only in how you are feeling, but also in how you are processing and acting on those feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who arent ready for change will dig in their heels. Maybe they secretly want to see how powerful you are. Will you take them for a ride even though they fight you the whole way? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you swallow your opinions and dont stand up for yourself, eventually youll spout off in the manner of Mount Vesuvius. So speaking up along the way is actually the kindest way to interact with others. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 6). Your birthday may be low-key, but its magical nonetheless. Loved ones will shower you with positivity and support. Let nothing distract you from putting dreams into action over the next four weeks. Financial prospects are hot in October. November brings an easy win. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 2, 18, 4 and 17.
