WASHINGTONOver six frightening
months, a deadly germ untreatable by
most antibiotics spread in the nations
leading research hospital. Pretty soon, a
patient a week was catching the bug. Sci-
entists at the National Institutes of Health
locked down patients, cleaned with
bleach, even ripped out plumbing and
still the germ persisted.
By the end, 18 people harbored the dan-
gerous germ, and six died of bloodstream
infections from it. Another five made it
through the outbreak only to die fromthe
diseases that brought them to NIHs
world-famous campus in the first place.
It tookgene detectives teasingapart the
bacterias DNA to solve the germs wily
spread, a CSI-like saga with lessons for
hospitals everywhere as they struggle to
contain the growing threat of superbugs.
It all stemmed froma single patient car-
ryinga fairly newsuperbugknownas KPC
Klebsiella pneumoniae that resists
treatment by one of the last lines of de-
fense, antibiotics called carbapenems.
We never want this to happen again,
saidDr. TaraPalmore, deputyhospital epi-
demiologist at the NIH Clinical Center.
Infections at health care facilities are
one of the nations leading causes of pre-
ventable death, claiming an estimated
99,000 lives a year.
Wednesday, government researchers
published an unusually candid account of
last years outbreak, with some advice:
Fast sequencing of a germs genome, its
full DNA, may be essential. It can reveal
howdrug-resistant bacteria are spreading
so that doctors can protect other patients.

Wednesday afternoon
after a several-hour standoff with
police in Watertown, Conn.
The Town Times newspaper in
Connecticut reported on its web-
site that Sean Patrick Flavin, 33,
surrendered at about 4 p.m.
An arrest warrant was issued
for Flavin, last known address as
Regent Street, Wilkes-Barre, on
Tuesday, charging him with rob-
bery, theft, simple assault and il-
legal possession of a handgun.
City police allege Flavin was
armed with a handgun and threat-
ened Colin Henry as he left the
ticket box office at about 10:30
p.m. Sunday. Flavin demanded
the money bag and told Henry
not to watch him leave, according
to the criminal complaint.
A security camera recorded Fla-
vin entering the lobby before the
robbery wearing plaid shorts, a
gray T-shirt with Army across the
chest and a black hat.
Police released a photo of the
suspect to media outlets on Mon-

SHOOTING INCIDENT PROBED
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
W
ilkes-Barre police escort a vehicle on Sylvanus Street with its rear window reportedly
shot out to headquarters Wednesday afternoon. An occupant of the vehicle was
seen getting into an ambulance at headquarters. Police said they responded to near si-
multaneous reports of an assault victim on South Welles Street and shots fired in the
Amber Lane area, both of which were followed by a report that someones car window
was shot out. Police said Jamal Gregory was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center for treatment of injuries he suffered in a fight with several unknown
males. Darnell Jackson, who was with Gregory, was uninjured, police said. Police also said
Maurice Richardson reported he and his girlfriend, Jessica Montigney, were driving away
from an altercation when several shots were fired at his car in the area of Amber Lane. A
bullet shattered his car window, but no one was injured. Richardson was treated at Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital for injuries he received in the fight, police said. Police believe the
events are related and possibly originated with an altercation that occurred several days
ago and that people were specifically targeted in Wednesdays incidents. Police said they
are anxiously awaiting the cooperation of the victims and others involved so they can
close the investigation and file necessary and proper criminal charges. Anyone with in-
formation should call police at 826-8111.
WILKES-BARRE A woman
kept callinga youngboy for dinner
Tuesday night, but she got no re-
sponse.
When the boy came downstairs
inside the house onWest Chestnut
Street, the woman felt something
was wrong.
She kept pressing the boy to tell
the truth when he said, We had
sex.
City police arrested Tyler Gron-
er, 20, on charg-
eshesexuallyas-
saulted the boy.
Groner was ar-
raigned
Wednesday in
Wilkes-Barre
Central Court
on a single
count of involuntarydeviatesexual

He was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $25,000 bail.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Two city police officers respon-
ded to the West Chestnut Street
residence to find Groner sitting on
a chair in the rear yard just after 6
p.m. Anofficer stayedwithGroner
while the other officer went inside
to talk with the woman.
After speaking with the boy, the
womantoldpolice, she confronted
Groner about what the boy had
told her. Groner initially denied
anything happened before he
statedI hadsexwithhim,accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
While the officer was inside the
residence, Groner allegedly told
the officer outside, I know why
youre here, because I hadsexwith
the boy.

HARVEYS LAKE Coun-
cilwoman Amy Williams on
Tuesday night urged all res-
idents to display their 911
addresses on their homes.
The green signs must be a
minimum of 3 inches tall
and made of reflective ma-
terial, she said at borough
councils meeting.
The emergency services
need to be able to locate the
addresses clearly and quick-
ly. As well, the signs must
be posted on the mailboxes.
A change of address form
is not needed, as the old
and new address is linked.
The post office will forward
the mail for one year.
Residents may call Bor-
ough Secretary Susan Sut-
ton at 639-2113 for informa-
tion on where to obtain the
signs, as well as how to dis-
play them properly.
In other matters:
Councilwoman Mi-
chelle Boice asked why the
number of calls to the po-
lice department that are re-
ported to Harrisburg and
the number announced at
the monthly meetings was
so different.
Boice said the number of
calls given at the meeting is
much greater than the num-
ber reported
to Harris-
burg.
Police
Chief Char-
lie Musial
said that un-
der Title 18,
only misde-
meanors incidents or high-
er are reported.
Resident Phil Krazner
questioned the 1986 two-
story boathouse rule. The
ordinance prohibits any
boathouse in Harveys Lake
from having a second story.
Council President Larry
Radel told Krazner he could
fill out a request form to
have it looked at by the
planning and zoning de-
partment.
Solicitor Charles McCor-
mick said the issue was vot-
ed on again in 2009, after a
two-year review. Council
voted to keep the ordinance
intact.
McCormick said the rule
helps to keep the boathous-
es from being used as resi-
dences.
Resident Carol Culver
expressed concern as to the
reason why her trash was
not picked up this week. A
number of other residents
were missed as well.
Council said the borough
has a new crew picking up
the trash and they were not
familiar with the route. The
situation is expected to
clear up by the next pickup
date.

WILKES-BARRE A Millville
man charged with possession of
childpornographywill standtrial
in December, a county judge or-
dered Wednesday.
Paul Eric Gochenaur, 20, of
Bottom Road, will stand trial on
Dec. 10 on 11 child pornography
counts, Judge Fred Pierantoni
said. Gochenaur appeared before
Pierantoni onWednesday andhis
attorney, Steven Greenwald, re-
quested the trial.
According to court papers, on
Aug. 3, 2011, a detective with the
Delaware County District Attor-
neys Office was conducting an
online investigation to identify
users sharing child pornography.
Police said the detective locat-
ed a computer sharing 62 files, 12
of which had previously been
identified as child pornography.
Police said the images depict-
ed children under the age of 18
engaged in sexual acts or poses.
Investigators obtained a court
order to determine the Internet
provider and address of the user,
which came back to a Hunting-
ton Mills address.
Police learned Gochenaur
would frequently visit the resi-
dence and use the homeowners
Internet service with his own lap-
top computer.
Police then interviewed Go-
chenaur, who allegedly admitted
to downloading child pornogra-
phy on his laptop.
I need help, I know I do, po-
lice said Gochenaur told them.
Investigators said that when
they searched Gochenaurs com-
puter, they found several videos
of child pornography.
Gochenaur was formally ar-
raigned on the charges in March,
where he entered a plea of not
guilty.

ELECTION
WILKES-BARRE Beau
Biden, son of Vice President
Joe Biden and an Iraq War
veteran, said the Obama ad-
ministration has increased
spending for veterans bene-
fits every year and will con-
tinue to do so next year.
Biden held a press confer-
ence in downtown Scranton
on Wednesday afternoon
and later stopped at The
Times Leader to discuss vet-
erans benefits as he cam-
paigned for the Obama-Bi-
den Democratic ticket.
To help veterans returning
from war with psychological
challenges and those who
have been injured in action,
Biden said the Department
of Veterans Affairs recently
announced a national
recruitment program to hire
mental-health professionals.
This isnt just about the
suicide rate, Biden, 43,
said. Its also about the
more than 50,000 wounded
veterans with post-traumatic
stress disorder, or those
with head trauma injuries or
amputees. Thats why the
president has allocated
more money than any presi-
dent in history for veterans.
The Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette recently said suicide
kills more military members
than armed conflict or road-
side bombs.
The Post-Gazette noted
July was the worst month for
military suicides 38 since
the Army began keeping de-
tailed records in 2009. In
June, 26 active-duty person-
nel took their own lives.
Biden, who is attorney
general for the state of Dela-
ware, said President Barack
Obama recognizes the cost
of war goes beyond econom-
ics.

One development proposal was
submitted for the Sterling Hotel pro-
ject by Wednesdays noon deadline,
according to Wilkes-Barre Economic
Development Director Greg Barrouk.
We received one proposal from a
well-known developer, and we are re-
ally excited to read through the pro-
posal to find out more information,
Barrouk said.
Two other prospective developers
participated in the preliminary pro-
posal process but chose not to submit
plans, Barrouksaid. Thosedevelopers
did not cite reasons.
ThecityandCityVest, theSterlings
nonprofit owner, are not publicly re-
leasing the lone proposal at this time.
Documents received through gov-
ernment public request-for-proposals,
or RFPs, become public when a con-
tract is awarded or if all proposals are
rejected, said Melissa Melewsky,
media law counsel with the Pennsyl-
vania Newspaper Association.
Barrouk said the proposal is from a
national developer that has offices in
Pennsylvania.
The request sought an experienced
developer to construct a signature
mixed-use project on the 4-acre site
at the corner of River and Market
streets.
Barrouk said his cursory review of
the proposal meets that condition,
though he wouldnt elaborate.
We are very pleased, he said.
Representatives of the city and
CityVest will review the submission
with state and county officials, likely
next week, as part of a discussion on
proceeding with demolition, Barrouk
said.
Government funding will be re-
quired for demolition because the de-
veloper wants a clean site, Barrouk
said.
CityVest is out of funds and spent
most of a $6 million county loan to
make the parcel larger, tear down an
attachedhigh-riseandremovehazard-
ous material from the original 114-
year-old former landmark hotel.
County Manager Robert Lawton
has said he may ask county council to
allocate community development
funding toward the Hotel Sterling
demolition, but only for a credible
development project that will create
jobs.
A majority of county council had
voted in April to accept Lawtons rec-
ommendation to cancel an up-to-$1.5
million community business loan
fund allocation for the Sterling demo-
lition.
Lawton advised cancellation be-
cause demolition alone wouldnt cre-
ate jobs and would diminish funding
available for other potential viable
projects.
The city and CityVest responded by
seeking development proposals. The
city also obtained 14 demolition bids
ranging from $486,000 to more than
$1.1 million.
The city has committed $270,000
toward demolition, which could re-
duce the county share to a minimum
$216,000.

HAZLETON A city man was
charged Tuesday night with directing
threats at Luzerne County District
Attorney Stefanie Salavantis.
Sean Donahue, 43, of Cleveland
Street, was arraigned before District
Judge Joseph Zola on a misdemeanor
charge of terroristic threats and a
summary charge of harassment.
Donahue was lodged at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facility
for lack of $100,000 bail. He is sched-
uled for a preliminary hearing on
Aug. 29 before Zola.
According to the criminal com-
plaint fled by Hazleton Detective Lt.
Kenneth Zipovsky, on Aug. 17 Dona-
hue sent an email to Salavantis.
The district attor-
ney notified police
she was concerned
and alarmed about
the threats made,
and she believed they
were directed toward
her.
Police said Dona-
hue threatened to engage in a gun-
fight with police officers if the dis-
trict attorney did not do as he wanted
and made not-so-veiled threats that
people would be killed if he did not
get the actions he demanded.
Several other emails were sent to
Salavantis after the initial email.
Salavantis said Wednesday she
could not comment on the allega-
tions because she is the victim in the
case.
The email sent to Salavantis on
Aug. 17 was also sent by Donahue to
several media outlets, North Penn Le-
gal services, the FBI and several local
legislators.
In the letter, Donahue talks about
injustices by Hazleton Career Link
and Hazleton police he allegedly en-
dured. Donahue alleges he is being ig-
nored over complaints made as a re-
sult of being threatened by city po-
lice and Career Link workers.
This is illegal. This is harassment.
This is official oppression . I will
ring the bell that is heard around the
world and your summary denial of my
rights will be physically challenged,

ANTICOKE Ahigh school senior project could lead to
a community swim program for residents of the city.
Anthony Perrone, superintendent of Greater Nanti-
coke Area School District, said the high school pool has been
open three days a week Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays dur-
ing the summer, and he wants to see it become a bigger commu-
nity resource.
The pool needs some work, but
we hope to generate revenue
through a swim program so we can
open it to the public more often,
Perrone said. The student project
was a great idea it got a lot of peo-
ple of all ages to come in and use
the pool.
The pool has been open to the
greater Nanticoke area community
since July 16. The last day for the
program is Friday from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. at a cost of $1 for children and
$3 per adult.
There has been a great response
with children and adults of all ages
using the pool, said Andrea Med-
ura, whose daughter, Constance, is
a member of the swim team and
one of three students who partici-
pated in the pool project.
Lap swimmers, recreational
swimmers and those learning how
to swim have benefited from the
pool this summer, she added.
Swim team members and others
interested in swimming volun-
teered their time to make this sum-
mer program become a reality.
Medura said participants include

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Spies blamed for attacks
T
he Afghan government blamed
foreign spy agencies for a rising
number of killings where government
soldiers and policemen have gunned
down their international partners, and
ordered stricter vetting of recruits and
screening of those in the 350,000-mem-
ber Afghan security force.
The United States had no informa-
tion suggesting that the insider attacks
were the work of foreign intelligence
services, a senior U.S. defense official
said. Instead, he said attacks typically
are carried out by Afghans acting on
their own, although some might have
had help, on occasion, from insurgent
networks. The official spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss intelli-
gence information about the attacks.
So far this year, there have been 32
insider attacks against coalition forces,
resulting in 40 deaths, according to the
NATO military alliance. Thats up from
21 attacks for all of 2011, with 35 killed.

Isaac looms pre-convention
Forecasters are watching Tropical
Storm Isaac, which was looming in the
Atlantic Ocean and poses a potential
threat to Florida during next weeks
Republican National Convention in
Tampa.
Its much too early to say with any
certainty whether it will gain hurricane
strength or make a beeline for Tampa,
on Floridas west coast. But its the type
of weather that convention organizers
knew was a possibility during the peak
of hurricane season and they have
backup plans in place in a worst-case
scenario.
Its been 90 years since a major hurri-
cane made a direct hit on Tampa. The
last to strike Floridas west coast was
Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 pack-
ing 150 mph winds that hit Aug. 13,
2004.

Fire burns dozens of homes
Firefighters in Northern California
are making progress in containing a
huge wildfire that has burned dozens of
homes and other structures in remote,
densely forested terrain.
The Ponderosa Fire, which has
scorched about 38 square miles, was 50
percent contained Wednesday morn-
ing, according to the California Depart-
ment of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The threat to homes about 35 miles
east of Redding has dropped from
3,500 earlier this week to roughly 200
residences.
CAMDEN, N.J.
Woman decapitates son, 2
A woman who had previously ad-
mitted blacking out from drug use
decapitated her 2-year-old son and put
the boys head in her freezer before
killing herself, just five months after
having regained custody of the boy
from the states child welfare agency,
authorities said Wednesday.
Chevonne Thomas killed her son
and called 911 just after midnight Tues-
day, then fatally stabbed herself while
officers were outside, police said.
During the 911 call, she first accused
her boyfriend of stabbing Zahree Tho-
mas, but then said repeatedly I did it,
I did it, said Jason Laughlin, spokes-
man for the Camden County prosecu-
tor.
Thomas, 33, had lost custody of
Zahree in November 2010 after alleged-
ly leaving the boy unattended in a car
and admitting to police she had
smoked marijuana laced with PCP and
blacked out in a nearby park, author-
ities said.

PHILADELPHIA Ousted
Penn State President Graham
Spanier and his lawyers at-
tacked the university-backed
report on the Jerry Sandusky
sex-abuse scandal Wednesday,
calling it a blundering and in-
defensible indictment as they
went on the offensive while
they await word on whether
hell be charged in the case.
Lawyer Timothy Lewis
called Louis Freeh, the former
FBI director and federal judge,
a biased investigator who
piled speculation on top of in-
nuendo to reach pre-formed
conclusions.
The Freeh report, as it per-
tains to Dr. Spanier, is a myth.
And that myth ... ends today,
Lewis said at a downtown Phi-
ladelphia news conference.
Spanier did not attend, but
told media outlets in stories
published hours later that he
never understood early com-
plaints about Sandusky to be
sexual. Sandusky was convict-
ed this year of molesting 10
boys and awaits sentencing.
Im very stunned by Freehs
conclusion that I dont think
heusedthewordcover-up; but
he uses the word concealed,
Spanier told The New Yorker
magazine. Why on earth
would anybody cover up for a
known child predator? Adverse
publicity? For heavens sake!
Every day I had to make some
decision that got adverse pub-
licity.
At the news conference, Le-
wis, alsoa former federal judge,
complained that Freeh never
interviewed key witnesses, ig-
nored inconvenient facts and
manipulated the truth.
For instance, he said, the re-
port assumes former graduate
assistant Mike McQueary told
coach Joe Paterno in 2001 that
he saw something sexual in a
locker room shower, and that
Paterno echoed that to athletic
director Tim Curley and vice
president Gary Schultz. Freeh
likewise assumes that they in
turn told Spanier the same
thing.
Curley and Schultz have de-
nied that they ever told Dr.
Spanier anything of the sort,
Lewis said. Horseplay was
referred to over and over again,
but never with any sexual con-
notation or suggestion of
abuse. But Judge Freeh paid no
attention to that.
The Freeh group said
Wednesday that it stands by its
report.

PASADENA, Calif. The NASA
rover Curiosity made its first test drive
Wednesday on ancient soil of Mars.
Wheel tracks on Mars, Jet Propul-
sion Laboratory engineer Allen Chen
tweeted along with an image sent from
one of the rovers cameras. The EDL
(Entry, Descent and Landing) team is
finally done. Congrats to the mobility
and surface teams!
The rover moved forward about 15
feet, rotated to a right angle and re-
versed a short distance.
The drive was successful and means
therovers mobilitysystemis fullyfunc-
tional, lead rover planner Matt Heverly
told a JPL press conference.
Were very excited to have this kind
of milestone behind us, Heverly said.
We see that the system is performing
very well and were in a great place to
do some science.
Michael Meyer, leadscientist for NA-
SAs Mars exploration program, an-
nounced that Curiositys touchdown
site has been named Bradbury Landing
in honor of The Martian Chronicles
author Ray Bradbury, who would have
been92onWednesday. Bradbury, anin-
spiration to many on the Curiosity
team, died in June.
The test drive is part of a health
checkupthe rover has beenundergoing
since arriving on Aug. 5. Eventually,
the rover could roamhundreds of feet a
day over the ancient crater where it
landed.
Meanwhile, researchers discovereda
damaged wind sensor while checking
out instruments that Curiosity will use
to check the Martian weather and soil.
The cause of the damage wasnt
known, but one possibility is that peb-
bles thrown up by Curiositys descent
fell onto the sensors delicate, exposed
circuit boards and broke some wires,
said Ashwin Vasavada, deputy project
scientist for Curiosity.
A second sensor is operating and
should do the job.
Scientists also continued to test and
calibrate Curiositys 7-foot-long arm
and its extensive tool kit which in-
cludes a drill, a scoop, a spectrometer
and a camera in preparation for col-
lecting its first soil samples and at-
tempting to learn whether the Martian
environment was favorable for micro-
bial life.

A New Jersey teenager left
brain-damaged after being
struck by a line drive while he
was playing in a youth baseball
game will receive $14.5 million
to settle his lawsuit against the
bat manufacturer, Little
League Baseball and a sporting
goods chain.
The settlement of StevenDo-
malewskis lawsuit was an-
nounced in state Superior
Court on Wednesday morning
in Passaic County. The boy,
now18, lives in Wayne, N.J.
The Domalewskis are still
saddened by the tragic events
of June 2006, but this settle-
ment provides themwith some
relief and comfort that Steven
will get the care he needs for
the rest of his life, saidthe fam-
ilys attorney, Ernest Fronzuto.
Domalewski was pitching
when the batter rocketed a line
drive off his metal bat.
The ball slammed into Ste-
vens chest, just above his
heart, knocking himbackward.
The ball had struck his chest
at the precise millisecond be-
tween heartbeats, sending him
into cardiac arrest. He fell to
the groundandstoppedbreath-
ing.
Domalewski was playing in a
Police Athletic League game,
but Little League was sued be-
cause the group certifies that
specific metal bats are ap-
proved for and safe for
use in childrens games.
Little League reached an
agreement withthe major man-
ufacturers in the early 1990s to
limit metal bats performance
to that of the best wooden bats.
Little League said in 2008 that
injuries to its pitchers fell from
145 a year before the accord
was reachedtothecurrent level
of about 20 to 30 annually.

EIRUT Syrian re-
gime forces shelled
two central Damas-
cus districts Wednesday
before troops backed by
tanks swept through to
carry out house-to-house
raids, killing at least 35
suspected rebels, in a ma-
jor flare-up of fighting in
the Syrian capital, activ-
ists said.
In a particularly hard-hit
northern district, activists
said they discovered doz-
ens of bodies that appeared to have been shot exe-
cution-style. Such gruesome reports have become
increasingly common in recent months as the civil
war has taken on heavy sectarian undertones.
The capital is one of many fronts President Bash-
ar Assads regime is struggling to contain as the
17-month-old rebellion against his rule gains
strength.
Government forces are also engaged in a major
battle for control of the northern city of Aleppo as
well as smaller scale operations in the countrys
south, east and center.
On the diplomatic front, a senior U.N. official said
Irans arms supplies to Syria violated U.N. sanc-
tions. France also indicated it has provided the re-
bels with communication and protection equip-
ment but cautioned against foreign intervention
without a U.N. mandate.
A prominent opposition figure, meanwhile, re-
jected as more lies comments by a senior Syrian
official that Damascus would be willing to discuss
Assads resignation but only after the opposition
agreed to join in negotiating a peaceful settlement.
As for his resigna-
tion, making his resig-
nation a condition for
dialogue effectively
makes holding such a
dialogue impossible,
said the official, Depu-
ty Foreign Minister Qa-
dri Jamil. During the
negotiating process
any issues can be dis-
cussed, and we are
ready to discuss even
this issue.
Reached in Turkey,
Adib Shishakly of the
Syrian National Coun-
cil, a key umbrella opposition group, said: Its the
first time that we hear such talk, but its difficult to
believe. We have grown accustomed to the regimes
lies.
Around dawn Wednesday, regime forces in Da-
mascus rained mortar shells on the upscale Kafar
Soussa area home to the foreign ministry, the
prime ministers office and several foreign embas-
sies and adjacent Nahr Eishah, activists said.
Government troops appeared to be shelling the
districts from the Qasioun mountain overlooking
the capital, a Damascus resident said on condition
of anonymity for fear of retribution.
Iran, together with Russia and China, are the Syr-
ian regimes strongest backers.
On Wednesday, Russias Foreign Ministry ac-
cused Western powers of openly instigating Syr-
ian opposition groups to take up arms against As-
sads regime. The West, it said, has done nothing
to urge the Syrian opposition to start a dialogue
with the government. Instead, they are engaged in
openly instigating it to continue their armed strug-
gle, the ministry said in a statement.

Budget dictates priorities
Biden said the Democratic
policy on veterans is in sharp
contrast to the Republican
team of Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryan. He said the Ryan budget
calls for 17 to 20 percent
across the board cuts, includ-
ing veterans and the VA.
My grandfather used to
say, Dont tell me what your
priorities are show me your
budget and Ill tell you what
your priorities are, he said.
Biden said the Romney-
Ryan budget plan would be
disastrous for middle-class
families, veterans, seniors and
students raising taxes on the
middle class, cutting funding
for veterans programs and
education investments, and
turning Medicare into a
voucher program to pay for
tax breaks for millionaires and
billionaires.
Bidens stop in the region
was the last of a series of
events with veterans in Penn-
sylvania Wednesday. He visit-
ed Philadelphia and Allen-
town earlier in the day.
He added that under the
Romney-Ryan plan, Pennsyl-
vania students and teachers
could feel a devastating im-
pact, including: a cut of $186
million for K-12 schools;
12,000 fewer spots for Head
Start programs in the next two
years; and an average cut of
$810 in Pell Grants for 313,000
Pennsylvania students.
Republican response
Kate Meriwether, Romney
spokeswoman, responded by
stating the House-passed bud-
get spends more than Obamas
proposed budget when it
comes to veterans funding.
A Romney-Ryan adminis-
tration will ensure our veter-
ans and military families are
provided every ounce of sup-
port they have earned, includ-
ing a full funding of veteran
programs, she said. It is un-
fortunate the Obama cam-
paign would resort to this
type of attack. Mitt Romney
and Paul Ryan are strong sup-
porters of our veterans and
will stop President Obamas
looming defense cuts that his
own Secretary of Defense
called devastating and could
overwhelm Veterans Affairs.
Meriwether said Obamas
policies have made it harder
for veterans to find jobs.
The Romney-Ryan eco-
nomic plan will ensure that
our veterans have better pro-
spects for finding work when
they return home from de-
fending our country, she
said.
Biden said Pennsylvania is a
key state in the 2012 election
and Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia is a critical region in
winning the states 20 electo-
ral votes.
The president and my fa-
ther are proud to have carried
Pennsylvania in 2008, he
said. Its always good to be
back in this beautiful part of
the country.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Beau Biden, attorney general of Delaware and son of Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden, talks with people on North Main Street in Wilkes-
Barre on Wednesday afternoon. He was in NEPA stumping for the
Democratic ticket in the November election.
a woman who is a 5K runner
and uses the pool to do water
aerobics, and two friends, one
who has a hip replacement and
the other, a former Nanticoke
swimteammember, who come
in the morning to swim laps.
And then there are the kids,
whose smiles and energy are
contagious to everyone, Med-
ura said. Because of this sum-
mer program, they have a place
to go where they are exercising
and sharing time with family
and friends.
In addition to Constance
Medura, high school senior Kat
Ferrucci and sophomore broth-
er Adam Ferrucci volunteer
three days a week to make the
summer program available.
Swim team members also
come to help out.
Constance and Kat also ran
a swim clinic this past April as
part of their senior project,
Medura said. The clinic was
offered to the Nanticoke Area
Middle School students. Mem-
bers of the swim team also
were there to help. They were
introduced to the different as-
pects of swimming and also
had an hour of recreational
swim time.
Perrone said the pool area is
in need of some aesthetic re-
pairs, which are presently in
the works; however, there are
many items that are needed for
swim meets and future pro-
grams.
We are seeking donations to
help us reach our goals to bring
the pool up to par so that we
can provide what is needed to
run the programs effectively,
Medura said.
She said some donations
have come in from Janisons on
East Main Street, Jerry & Son
Market and attorney Rich Ship-
toski.
A wish list has been com-
piled to improve the facility for
swim competitions. Medura
said the swimteamalso is seek-
ing alumni or individuals with
swimming expertise to help
the swim team this year.
Perrone praised the students
for the work on the project and
he was pleased with the turn-

I think we averaged 35 peo-
ple per day in the pool, he
said. And they were all ages.
We want to see more activity in
the pool.
Perrone said with school re-
suming next week, the public
swimtime will end, but eventu-
ally reopen when he can assure
that lifeguards will be paid
with non-district funds.
I believe the kids in Nanti-
coke need an outlet, Perrone
said. The pool should be uti-
lized.

Donahue wrote. I will not
stand there and die at the hands
of a corporal of any other offi-
cers in a firing line intended to
keep me from using my rights.
Give me liberty or give me
death, but not necessarily my
own!
Donahue, in the two-and-a-
half-page letter, also requests
that the county sheriff give him
access to a locker of weapons, as
well as the FBI providing him
with a bullet-proof vest and oth-
er gear.
The FBI may ship the Kevlar
items and accompanying web-
bing and vest vis UPS. It may
not include electronic surveil-
lance devices. I forbid it, Dona-
hue wrote. The sheriff may de-
liver two weapons and associat-
ed equipment and ammuni-
tion.
Donahue says one weapon
must be a black rifle and the
other a .45-caliber pistol.
The sheriff must grant
me an exception, allowing
me to jog and walk the
streets with gear and weap-
ons when I leave the house
and all law enforcement
must be told to stay away
from me, he wrote.

EDWARDSVILLE -- The bad news for
members of the Northeast Pennsylvania
School District Health Trust is that they
wont see any reimbursements in their
insurance premiums akin to a small re-
fund received by non-member Crest-
wood School District.
The good news: Theres no reimburse-
ment because the trusts program is
highly efficient: About 94 percent of pre-
miums paid in are spent on claims.
Crestwood, which does not belong to
the trust, recently received an $11,200
refund from its insurance provider
thanks to the newhealth care reformact.
Under the law, insurance companies
must use a certain percentage of each
premium dollar for claims expenses.
If the company spends less than the set
percentage often called a medical loss
ratio, or MLR on claims, it must re-
fund money to clients. The goal is to re-
duce the amount of premium payments
spent on administration and overhead.
At Tuesdays meeting of the board that
oversees the trust, handouts included a
letter from Robert Glus, of the actuarial
firm Conrad Siegel. Glus explained that
Crestwood received a small refund be-
cause its insurance provider had an over-
all MLR below 85 percent, meaning
more than 15 percent of each premium
dollar goes to administration and over-
head.
The trust uses Blue Cross to manage
its program, but does not actually get in-
surance through Blue Cross. The trust is
a self-funded insurance program -- it col-
lects and holds money for claims pay-
ments -- and is running at a 94 percent
MLR, meaning only about 6 percent of
each dollar goes to administration and
overhead.
Glus also noted the trusts budget has
been revised to reflect the fact that Lake-
Lehman School District negotiated med-
ical insurance coverage directly from
Blue Cross rather than through the
trust. Glus said the changes to the bud-
get were negligible because Lake-Leh-
man is one of the smaller districts in the
trust.
Lake-Lehman saw substantial savings
this year as result of the Blue Cross deal,
and other member districts have ques-
tioned why the trust cannot negotiate
similar savings for the other members.
Glus has told the board he believes Blue
Cross gave Lake-Lehman an artificially
low premium rate and will lose money
on the deal.
After Wednesdays meeting, trust
board co-chairman Ralph Scoda said the
trust did ask Blue Cross if a similar deal
could be worked out for other districts
and was told districts would see premi-
ums increase substantially if given the
same Blue Cross plan as Lake-Lehman.
School health trust highly efficient
Officials say member districts wont
get reimbursements because 94% of
premiums goes for claims.

help disaster victims when fed-
eral damage thresholds are not
met, state Sen. Lisa Baker an-
nounced legislation that will
do just that.
A flash flood that washes
out only a small portion of a
township can be just as devas-
tating to a family or a commu-
nity as a hurricane that rips
through half the state, yet to-
days disaster assistance pro-
grams fail to recognize that
fact, Baker, R-Lehman Town-
ship, said in announcing Sen-
ate Bill-1585. Although
judged to be small by federal
standards, these catastrophes
wipe out homes, streets,
bridges and municipal bud-
gets. The state should play a
role in helping communities
recover. The gaps are hurting
people who experience tre-
mendous loss but dont meet
disaster guidelines.
Baker and state Sen. John
Yudichak, D-Plymouth Town-
ship, are two sponsors of
SB-1585, aimed at helping mu-
nicipalities and flood victims
cope with localized disasters
by establishing a state disaster
assistance program.
The program would give
state grants to victims to assist
with uninsured losses caused
by flash floods, fires, snow-
storms, tornadoes, landslides,
hazardous material spills and
other emergencies, but
(which) fall below the states
$16.5 million threshold for fed-
eral aid, Baker said.
When Bekanich testified last
year, he told the panel: One of
the most difficult things I have
to do in my job is tell people
that I cannot provide them the
financial help that they need
when they are faced with their
own personal disaster. A state
program will make all of our
jobs that much easier.
Bekanich testified before the
joint House-Senate Veterans
Affairs and Emergency Prepa-
redness Committee. Baker
serves as chairwoman of the
committee that was charged
with examining whether Penn-
sylvania should establish a
state disaster assistance pro-
gram.
Under SB-1585, state assist-
ance would be limited to
grants to help repair damage
to primary residences, person-
al property and public facili-
ties. Debris removal also
would be an eligible expense.
Some 25 states have establish-
ed state disaster assistance
programs.
Baker said funding would
come from the Johnstown
Flood Tax, which was estab-
lished in 1936 with the express
purpose of aiding flood vic-
tims. Unspent money would be
returned to the state budget.
The Johnstown Flood Tax is an
18 percent levy on alcohol.
Bekanich said Wednesday
that he has been in constant
contact with Baker, Yudichak
and other state legislators to
establish the state fund.
No doubt, this is definitely
something that is needed, Be-
kanich said. It would help im-
mensely -- especially those tax-
strapped communities -- to
come back from these events.
Plymouth Township and Ply-
mouth Borough suffered se-
vere flash flooding damage last
July from heavy downpours
and in September after rain
from Tropical Storm Lee
swelled the Susquehanna Riv-
er to a record 42.66 feet, caus-
ing severe flooding in areas not
protected by the Wyoming Val-
ley Levee System. An estimat-
ed 130 Luzerne County busi-
nesses and hundreds of resi-
dences along the Susquehanna
were damaged by the flooding.
Disaster-aid bill aims to close gaps

are two sponsors of way to

WASHINGTON For all the
attention it got, Republican Mitt
Romneys selection of Rep. Paul
Ryan of Wisconsin as his running
mate has not altered the race
against President Barack Obama.
The campaign remains neck and
neck with less than three months
to go, a new AP-GfK poll shows.
Overall, 47 percent of regis-
tered voters said they planned to
back Obama and Vice President
Joe Biden in November, while 46
percent favored Romney and
Ryan. Thats not much changed
froma June AP-GfKsurvey, when
the split was 47 percent for the
president to 44 percent for Rom-
ney.
At the same time, theres a far
wider gap when people were
asked who they thought would
win. Some 58 percent of adults
said they expected Obama to be
re-elected, while just 32 percent
said they thought hed be voted
out of office. Majorities say they
expect Obama to win regardless
of their level of interest in the
campaign.
Yet while partisans generally
expect their own candidate to
win, Republicans are less sure
about Romney than Democrats
are about Obama 83percent of
Democrats say Obama will be re-
elected while 57 percent of Re-
publicans think hell be voted out
of office.
One such Republican, 78-year-
old Catherine Shappard of Dal-
las, saidshes beenalarmedtosee
even conservative commentators
warning that Obama has a good
shot at re-election.
I think its close, Shappard
said. Alot closer thanIdlikeit to
be.
After just over a week on the
campaigntrail, Ryanhas a 38 per-
cent favorable rating among
adults, while 34 percent see him
unfavorably. Among registered
voters, his numbers are slightly
better 40 percent favorable to
34 percent unfavorable. Ryan re-
mains unknown to about a quar-
ter of voters.
Romney put the 42-year-old
conservative chairman of the
House Budget Committee on the
ticket Aug. 11. The AP-GfK Poll
was conducted Aug. 16-20.
Still too close to call, new poll says

RALEIGH, N.C. Differences
between Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryans positions this time on
hot-button social issues were
on display Wednesday as the
GOP ticket found itself dragged
into a debate over abortion.
The vice presidential candi-
date emphasized anewthat Rom-
ney is the nominee, brushing
aside differences in their records.
Im proud of my record. Mitt
Romneys going to be the presi-
dent and the president sets poli-
cy, Ryan told reporters as his
campaign plane flewfromVirgin-
ia to North Carolina.
Romney does not oppose abor-
tion in cases of rape and incest or
if it will save the mothers life,
while Ryan does oppose abortion
in cases of rape and incest.
SincechoosingRyanas his run-
ning mate, Romney has been
dogged by questions about how
his own views differ from the
Wisconsin congressmans. Ryan
is the architect of a controversial
budget blueprint that would dra-
matically change Medicare and
cut funds for a series of other pop-
ular programs. After his selection
Democrats immediately began
trying to tie Romney to his new
No. 2s plan, with President Ba-
rack Obama launching a new
push on cuts to education this
week. Romney says his own bud-
get plan is different from Ryans,
but he largely refused to outline
specifics of the differences.
The focus on abortion comes
in the wake of comments from
Missouri Senate candidate Todd
Akin, who is challenging Demo-
cratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Asked in an interview aired Sun-
day if abortion should be legal in
cases of rape, Akin said: If its a
legitimate rape, the female body
has ways to try to shut that whole
thing down.
Ryan on Wednesday defended
a bill he cosponsored in the
House to permanently ban feder-
al funding for abortion except in
cases of incest and forcible
rape. That language, which was
eventually changed, would have
narrowed the exception for rape
victims. Akin and 225 other
members of the House, including
11 Democrats, also cosponsored
the bill.
Democrats have seized on the
bill and accused Ryan of trying to
redefine rape and remove pro-
tections for rape victims.
Akin has refused to heed calls
to step down including one
from Romney and now would
need a court order to leave the
race. He has until Sept. 25 to do
so. After that point, he would
have no way to remove his name
from the ballot.
Ryan, a colleague of Akins in
the House, called the Missouri
congressman to urge him to bow
out of the Senate race. Ryan said
Wednesday he doesnt have any
plans to speak to him about it
now that Akin is staying in.
The questions about abortion
were overshadowing the GOP
tickets campaign events in Iowa,
Virginia and North Carolina
Wednesday, where Romney was
tryingtokeepthe focus onthe na-
tional debt and deficit.
Romney, speaking hours after
the Congressional Budget Office
warned of a new recession if
Washington continues its stale-
mate over taxes and spending
cuts, criticizedObama for not do-
ing more to solve the countrys
fiscal problems.
Its bad economics, he said.
Its the wrong course for Amer-
ica and I believe its immoral to
pass our burdens on to the next
generation.
Romneys campaign was again
attacking Obamas policies on
Medicare, looking minimize fo-
cus on differences between the
running mates. That comes in a
new TV advertisement linking
Obamas divisive health care
overhaul tocuts inMedicare. The
ad, titled Nothings Free, as-
serts that Obama raided $716 bil-
lion from Medicare in order to
pay for his health care law.

WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man who pleaded guilty to a
third-degree murder charge and
was sentenced to 17 to 34 years
in prison in the January 2011
beating and stabbing death of
another man has appealed his
sentence to the state Superior
Court.
Angel Sanchez, 21, filed the
appeal through his attorney,
Caelie McCormick Sweigart.
Sanchez and Rodolfo Hiraldo
Perez, 25, where charged in the
death of 21-year-old Vladimir
Ruiz. Perez was convicted of a
first-degree murder charge and
sentenced to life in prison.
Perez is also appealing his
case to the Superior Court.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man scheduled to stand trial in
September on several charges of
possession of child pornography
has asked that a judge not per-
mit prosecutors to mention in
court his son, who has the same
name and is serving a life sen-
tence on a murder charge.
Gregory Fann, 48, of Maple
Lane, said in court papers filed
through his attorney, Mark
Singer, that prosecutors should
be prohibited from mentioning
his son, Gregory Orlando Fann,
25, was convicted and sen-
tenced to life in the killing of
19-year-old Aaron Witko in May
2008.
The information should be
withheld from jurors, Singer
said, because state police al-
leged they uncovered the child
pornography on computers and
compact discs inside a bedroom
while investigating Witkos
death.
A judge has not yet made a
ruling on Singers request.
WILKES-BARRE A Ply-
mouth man charged with not
providing police with a valid
address when registering under
Megans Law pleaded guilty
Tuesday to a related charge and
was sentenced to two to four
years in state prison.
Dale Novitski, 51, of Nesbitt
Street, pleaded guilty to a
charge relating to verifying his
address as required by Megans
Law and was sentenced by
Judge Fred Pierantoni. Novitski
was originally scheduled for a
bench trial before Pierantoni.
According to court papers, in
August 2011, Novitski was re-
quired to register for life under
Megans Law after being con-
victed of sexual assault crimes
in 2000. Police said two address-
es Novitski had listed as places
he would reside could not be
verified as his current residence.
The case was prosecuted by
Assistant District Attorney
Jenny Roberts. Novitski was
represented by attorney Mark
Singer.
WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man pleaded guilty Wednes-
day to several retail theft charg-
es.
Michael Verbitsky, 24, with no
last known permanent address,
entered the plea to three counts
of retail theft and an unrelated
charge of escape. Judge Lesa
Gelb said Verbitsky will be sen-
tenced on Oct. 10.
According to court papers, on
Jan. 18 and 19, and March 2,
Verbitsky tried to steal merchan-
dise from a CVS Pharmacy store
on two occasions in Hazleton
and the Walmart in Hazle Town-
ship, respectively. Police also
said that on Aug. 18, 2011, Ver-
bitsky did not return to the
county prison after an appoint-
ment at the Salvation Army
Adult Rehabilitation Center.
COURT BRIEFS
67 counties to have one tax collec-
tor for earnedincome taxes. Previ-
ously, the tax was collected by tax
collectors in each community.
Berkheimer officials confirmed
Tuesday that Centax is going out
of business and has agreed to sell
its contracts to Berkheimer. The
handling of undisbursed taxes
fromthe first and second quarters
of 2012will benegotiatedbetween
the committee, Centax and its
bonding company, Travellers In-
surance, Berkheimer President
Patty McNamara said.
Weremorethanwillingtohelp
out and take over the delinquent
(disbursals), McNamara said.
The new agreement with Berk-
heimer will beginwiththe thirdfi-
nancial quarter of 2012 and will
last throughDec. 31, 2013. Finance
Committee Chairman Paul Keat-
ing of Kingston at first suggested
awarding the contract on a 60-day
trial basis, but that suggestionwas
shouteddownby municipal repre-
sentatives eager to put the Centax
debacle behind them.
The committee, which met at
Luzerne County Community Col-
lege, selected a proposal from the
familiar Berkheimer, which han-
dled earned income tax collection
for more than half of Luzerne
County municipalities and school
districts in 2011, according to
McNamara, over slightly more at-
tractive terms offeredbyKeystone
Collections Group of Irwin.
Berkheimer, the largest agency
of its kindinthestate, alsocollects
earned income taxes for nearby
Schuylkill, Carbon and Columbia
counties. Agency Vice President
John DeRemer said the company
beganhiringandtrainingnewem-
ployees more than a month ago.
The county also received a one-
paragraph reply to its request for
proposals from the Capital Tax
Collection Bureau of Harrisburg,
but representatives of the compa-
ny did not attend Wednesdays
meeting.
Keystone promised to charge a
slightly lower interest rate for its
services of 1.45 percent plus post-
agetokeepcountytaxreceiptsina
segregated account or 1.4 percent
for a non-segregated account, ver-
sus Berkheimers rate of 1.48 per-
cent plus postage for a non-segre-
gated account.
Berkheimer did not offer a seg-
regated option, but promised a
virtual segregation would be
maintained in its reporting proc-
ess.
Keating encouraged committee
members to consider the security
offered by segregation.
The segregated account al-
lowed us through this entire proc-
ess toknowthat our moneywas in
asegregatedaccount, it just wasnt
processed, he said. We knew
that if we had $10 million in an ac-
count, our money was there. We
just didnt know where it was go-
ing.
Bothcompanies saidtheir proc-
essing systems would eliminate
the confusionfacedbyCentaxand
they would not charge extra inter-
est on delinquent accounts.
Berkheimer received67percent
of the committees total vote,
which is weighted to give schools
a larger say than municipalities.
Keystone received 27 percent,
withtheremainderof thepanel ab-
sent or abstaining.
Drew Salko, Lake-Lehman
School Districts delegate to the
committee, was one of those vot-
ingfor Keystone. He saidthe secu-
rity of a segregated account and
the slightly lower interest rate
Keystone promised swayed his
vote.
I understand that they consid-
er it virtually segregated, but no-
body thought that Don Wilkin-
son/Centax would have this issue
when they were applying, and
look what happened, Salko said.
At least our money was safe and
protected.
Committee president and
Wyoming Area School District
delegate John Bolin said the one
upshot of the Centax fiasco may
have been increased participation
at Wednesdays meeting.
Representatives of 65 of the 91
Luzerne County municipalities
and school districts attended,
which Bolin said is more than
twice the number typically attend-
ing committee meetings.
Unfortunately, its bad times
that bringeverybodyout, hesaid.

WASHINGTON A Virginia
man opposed to the politics of a
conservative lobbying group was
indicted Wednesday on charges
stemming from the shooting of a
security guard at the groups
Washington headquarters.
A grand jury indicted Floyd
Lee Corkins II, 28, of Herndon,
on a federal charge of interstate
transportation of a firearm and
ammunition and two District of
Columbia offenses: assault with
intent to kill while armed and
possession of a handgun during a
crime of violence.
Charging documents show
Corkins was carrying a handgun,
a box of ammunition and 15
Chick-fil-A sandwiches when he
opened fire on the security guard
at the Family Research Councils
headquarters on Aug. 15. The
guard, who also served as the
buildings operations manager,
helped to subdue Corkins after
being wounded in the arm, au-
thorities said.
The Family Research Council
has defended Chick-fil-A since
the fast-food chains president,
Dan Cathy, spoke publicly about
his opposition to gay marriage.
Corkins parents toldinvestiga-
tors he was a supporter of gay
rights, andhe saidhe didnt agree
with the FRCs politics before the
shooting, according to the docu-
ments. It was not clear what he
planned to do with the sandwich-
es.
While the shooting was de-
nounced by both liberal and con-
servative groups, it did little to
calm heated rhetoric on both
sides of the gay marriage debate.
FRC president Tony Perkins
said the Southern Poverty Law
Center had given Corkins a li-
cense tokill by classifyinghis or-
ganization as a hate group. The
SPLC stood by that designation,
saying the FRC also had spread
false propaganda about gays.
Federal authorities also con-
firmed Corkins was carrying a
note with contact information of
a second Christian conservative
organization, the Traditional Val-
ues Coalition, said the groups
president, Andrea Lafferty. She
did not say whether her group
was being targeted.
The federal firearmcharge and
the assault charge were initially
filed against Corkins last week,
while the local handgun charge
was new.
A spokesman for the U.S. At-
torneys Office declined to com-
ment on the possibility of addi-
tional charges, including hate
crime. The investigation is ongo-
ing.

9 Convenient Locations to Serve You in Wilkes Barre, Hazleton, Mt. Top, Forty Fort, Dallas, Scranton & Pittston!
There was bipartisanship six
years ago. Now there is a logjam
of ideology.
State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski
The Democrat from Wilkes-Barre, who was first
elected in 2006, said during a rally this week in
Exeter that the climate in Harrisburg has changed, harming the
Legislatures ability to set good policy on critical issues such as public
education.
Dont equate pedophilia
with homosexuality
W
hile reading the letter to the editor
from Mr. Mark Bielinski (Writer
believes Scouts must exclude gay
leaders, Aug. 17), I got the impression
that he believed that all homosexuals were
indeed sexual predators and therefore
deviants. It would be hard to explain this is
not the case in light of Penn States and the
Catholic Churchs well-publicized scandals.
I felt it must be stated that statistics show
that pedophilia is overwhelmingly a hete-
rosexual event, not in the domain of homo-
sexuality.
There is a wealth of information on the
subject. We are in an age when homosex-
uality is being discovered as a biological
change, evidenced by changes in the brain
and genetic structures.
It also is a fact that there are many
same-sex partners who live very produc-
tive, normal lives and do not go on to
commit sexual crimes. It is ridiculous for
Mark to assume that being a homosexual
automatically enters you into criminal
behavior.
It appears that more education is re-
quired to the greater public on the subject,
as their ignorance is showing.

Kind, generous service
gets couple out of jam
I
n late July my wife and I were in the
Wilkes-Barre area for a speaking engage-
ment. One night we had an accident that
left our vehicle markedly damaged. We
were 700 miles from home and uncertain
about whether the van was even drivable
for such a distance.
A young man, Travis Hess, was in the
audience I was addressing. Afterward, he
referred us to MotorWorld, his place of
employment, for consultation. Early that
Monday morning we met Joe Reilly, Kevin
Klime and Sherry Hampton at Motor-
Worlds body shop. They greeted us with
smiles, courtesy and sensitivity. They
made several adjustments, inspected the
van for reliability, sent us on our way with-
in an hour and even waived all charges.
What a bright spot in a tough moment.
And what a positive reflection on your
entire community!

These ads from the lefties about facto-

SINCE PENNSYLVANIAS
new Voter ID law went into
effect in March, there has
been some speculation
about how the state De-
partment of Transportation
is handling its responsib-
ility to serve Pennsylvanians.
As always, PennDOT is committed to
ensuring we offer the very best service
possible through our 71 driver license cen-
ters. With the recent decision by Common-
wealth Court, PennDOT will continue to
maintain that focus as we move into the
fall.
Every year, PennDOT serves about 2.4
million customers face to face at our cen-
ters, and last year more than 88 percent of
those customers were served within 30
minutes or less. While the Voter ID law
was purported by some to cause a major
influx of Pennsylvanians seeking an ID, so
far we have not seen any significant in-
crease. In fact, since the law was enacted,
about 4,350 free IDs have been requested
and issued. PennDOTs dedicated teams of
professionals have been fully briefed and
stand at the ready to serve all of our cus-
tomers.
PennDOT has long-standing procedures
in place that allow us to quickly respond to
driver licensing changes that might come
into play as the result of federal or state
law. The procedures allow us to quickly
update our managers, supervisors and
front-line employees of any revisions, such
as those presented as part of the new Voter
ID Law. One of the changes associated with
the new law, which permits an alternative
process to secure a birth certificate certifi-
cation, has resulted in only 92 individuals
utilizing this process since May.
Later this month voters will have anoth-
er form of identification available to them if
they do not qualify for a PennDOT secure
drivers license or identification card. Start-
ing in late August, PennDOT begins issu-
ing the new Department of State voter
identification card; but even with this
change, driver license center operations
will largely remain the same. We will work
closely with the Department of State to
determine if a customer qualifies for the
new card by verifying that the customer is
registered to vote.
Customer service is engrained in the
very fabric of PennDOT, and as it always
has been, it is a standard PennDOT prac-
tice to quickly address any issues as part of
our customer service culture. As part of
our standard operations, we work closely
with customers to resolve issues quickly.
Our quick response to addressing custom-
ers concerns is one factor that contributes
to customers telling us, through surveys,
that they have a very high satisfaction level
with our services.
Moving forward, we invite Pennsylva-
nians to continue as our partners with a
shared responsibility for making their driv-
ers license, identification card or Depart-
ment of State identification card process a
smooth one. To help ensure our customers
have all the necessary documents to
streamline their processing, they can con-
tact our call center at 1-800-932-4600 or
visit our website: www.dmv.state.pa.us.
Our website includes information on
how to apply for a drivers license or identi-
fication card, and also has an easy-to-use
locator tool allowing customers to find the
closest center, its services and the hours
and days of operation.
Our commitment is to providing the best
possible service to all of our customers it
is what they expect and it is what they
deserve.
Barry Schoch is secretary of the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation.

COMMENTARY
B A R R Y S C H O C H
C
ONGRESS continues
to move at a snails
pace in confronting
the increasingly im-
portant issue of getting online
retailers to collect state taxes.
A Senate committee took
testimony earlier this month
before Congress went home
for the rest of the summer. But
the deadlock over how to deal
with the shift toward online
shopping continues.
Online sales often dodge the
whole tax issue, paying noth-
ing to the state where the com-
pany is and collecting nothing
for the state where the item is
headed. That is permissible
under a U.S. Supreme Court
ruling years ago that said no
law required companies to col-
lect taxes for states where they
do not physically operate.
Amazon, surprisingly, has
gone to bat for congressional
actiontoset upcollectionof re-
mote taxes. Presumably thats
because Amazon has been ex-
panding its warehouse oper-
ations and now has a presence
in many more states than it
used to. But many other online
companies continue to fight
against collecting sales taxes.
Meanwhile, most states face
increasing financial troubles.
The hope that citizens might
voluntarily pay remote sales
taxes is mostly a pipedream.
And online commerce contin-
ues to grow. In the first quarter
of this year, online sales topped
$50 billion the first time that
mark was reached outside of a
nonholiday shopping quarter.
Besides states, retailers with
actual stores have stepped up
their calls for collection of the
sales tax.

TATE Transportation
Secretary Barry
Schoch has seen the
road ahead, and it is fil-
led with potholes, weight re-
strictions, closings and de-
tours, plus more impassable
bridges. Schoch, alongwiththe
rest of Pennsylvania, needs
help from his boss, Gov. Tom
Corbett.
Due to cuts at both the feder-
al and state levels,
Pennsylvanias 12-
year transportation
spending plan is
nearly 40 percent
lower than the one
adopted four years
ago. The $41.6billion
is down by $26.3 bil-
lion, which means
new capacity-adding
projects will be off
the table and pro-
gress that the state
has madetoreducethenumber
of deteriorating bridges will be
reversed.
There is plenty of blame to
go around for this sad state of
affairs.
Congress cut Pennsylvanias
allocation of transportation
dollars by $111 million in ap-
proving a new, two-year federal
authorization bill. The states
accelerated bridge repair pro-
gramwhichreducedthenum-
ber of structurally deficient
bridges from 6,300 to 4,700
has ended. And theres been no
legislative action on revenue-
generating recommendations
made by the governors hand-
pickedTransportationFunding
Advisory Commission.
Despite the recent progress,
Pennsylvania still holds the du-
bious distinction of having
more deficient bridges than
any other state, andthe empha-
sis on bridge repairs came at a
cost to road maintenance.
Twenty-one percent of state-
owned roads are rated poor
due to the roughness of their
surfaces, and by
2016 the propor-
tion will grow to
40 percent.
Thats if nothing
changes, and
thats where Gov.
Corbett must step
in.
His commission
put together a
package of moves
that could gener-
ate $2.5 billion an-
nually for transportation, with
higher fees for drivers licenses
and vehicle registrations and
removal of a cap on fuel taxes
paid by wholesalers. The plan
has won widespread support,
including from some promi-
nent Republicans, save one.
It needs a strong statement
of support from Corbett to go
forward in the Legislature
when members return to Har-
risburg. Without it, traveling to
the state capital and any-
where else inthe state will be-
come only more treacherous.

expected to be mailed out to-
day. Von Lehman said ap-
proximately 62,000 addition-
al refund requests are still
being processed. He hopes
those returns will be com-
pleted within the next few
weeks, but cautioned it may
take longer.
The money is available.
Its more of a processing is-
sue, Von Lehman said. We
are hoping over the next
three weeks, but I dont
know if thats realistic or
not.
Some residents were con-
cerned they would not get
their refund after learning
Centax is going out of busi-
ness and is transferring its
contracts to its longtime ri-
val, Berkheimer Associates
of Bangor.
We received a lot of calls
from irate taxpayers who are
due hundreds, and in some
cases, even thousands of dol-
lars, said Paul Keating, ad-
ministrator for Kingston.
News the refunds will be
honored was a relief to Ron
Bernoski of Swoyersville,
who said he is owed about
$400.
Bernoski said he called
Centax about six weeks ago
and was told his refund was
being processed. He became
concerned when he called
back this week and got a fast
busy signal when he pushed
the option to be connected to
the customer service depart-
ment.
None of the municipal-
ities are getting their money.
We were concerned we wont
get any, he said.
Funds werent disbursed
Centax has come under
fire for failing to timely dis-
tribute millions of dollars in
earned income taxes that are
due to 91 municipalities and
school districts in Luzerne
County. The delays have
caused a serious financial
strain, forcing some munici-
palities to seek a tax antici-
pation note to cover the
shortfall.
Centax began collecting
the taxes in January as part
of changes in tax collection
procedures mandated by Act.
32, which requires most of
the states 67 counties to
have one tax collector for
earned income taxes. Previ-
ously the tax was collected
by tax collectors in each
community.
Maggie Good, president of
Meridian, said Centax ran in-
to problems because it did
not have a proper computer
system in place to process
the taxes. It recently reached
an agreement to sell its con-
tracts to Berkheimer.
The Luzerne County Tax
Collection Committee
(TCC), which oversees
earned income tax collec-
tion, voted Wednesday night
to terminate Centaxs con-
tract and award the business
to H.A. Berkheimer.
Keating, who chairs the
TCCs finance committee,
said the money collected by
Centax is being held in an
account thats being moni-
tored by the TCC. The issue
is determining how much
money each community is
due. That will be up to the
new tax collector.
Keating: Money not
missing
Keating said forensic audi-
tors have reviewed Centaxs
accounts and have found no
evidence that any tax money
due municipalities, school
districts or taxpayers is mis-
sing.
The forensic auditors at
this time dont anticipate
there is any fraud or impro-
priety, Keating said. Every-
thing boils down to gross
mismanagement and negli-
gence and their failure to
bring their (computer)
equipment into compliance
with Act 32. They were un-
able to process pursuant to
the new system and that
caused them to implode.
REFUNDS
Continued from Page 1A
This is not an easy story to
tell, saidDr. Julie Segre, a senior
investigator at NIHs National
Human Genome Research Insti-
tute. She led the genetic sleuth-
ing that found the bug hiding in
sink drains and, most chilling,
even in a ventilator that had been
cleaned with bleach.
Infection-control specialists at
other hospitals called this de-
tailed anatomy of an outbreak,
published in the journal Science
Translational Medicine, impor-
tant to share.
They were able to demon-
strate that this sneaky little bug
was able to stay alive and get
transmitted in ways they hadnt
quite predicted before they had
the detailed genetic informa-
tion, said Dr. Sara Cosgrove, as-
sociate hospital epidemiologist
at Johns Hopkins University. Its
very revealing.
Absolutely this could happen
in any hospital, said Dr. Dever-
ick Anderson, co-director of a
Duke University infection con-
trol network that advises smaller
community hospitals.
Normally, the Klebsiella bacte-
ria live in human intestines and
dont harm people with healthy
immune systems. But the multi-
drug-resistant
strain named
KPC has
emerged over
the past decade
to become a
fast-growing
threat in inten-
sive care units,
spreading eas-
ily between ve-
ry ill people
and killing half
of those it sick-
ens. Worse,
people can carry KPC without
symptoms unless the germs slip
into the urinary tract or blood-
streamtheirs or the persons in
the next bed through a cathe-
ter or surgical wound.
The 243-bed NIHClinical Cen-
ter, in Washingtons suburbs, is a
unique hospital, only treating
people enrolled in government
research studies.
So on June 13, 2011, a research
nurse carefully checked the med-
ical records as a New York City
hospital transferred a study par-
ticipant who hadbecome critical-
ly ill witha rare lung disease. The
nurse found that the patient had
KPC as well.
The woman went into strict
isolation: Everyone entering her
room donned a protective gown
and gloves and rigorously
washed their hands. Her medical
equipment got special decontam-
ination. All other patients in the
ICU had their throats and groins
tested regularly to see if the bug
was spreading.
All seemedOK. The womanre-
covered, and went home on July
15.
Fast forward three weeks. Now
a man with cancer has KPC de-
spite never crossing paths with
Patient No. 1. Ten days later, a
woman with an immune disease
fell ill, too. Both died of the infec-
tion.
Did they arrive carrying their
own KPC bacteria, or did that
first patients germ somehow es-
cape into the hospital? Standard
tests couldnt tell. Segre, the ge-
neticist, turned to DNA.
As bacteria multiply, mistakes
appear and are repaired in their
genetic code. Sequencingthat ge-
nome allowed Segre to followdif-
ferences in single genetic letters
like a trail of the germs transmis-
sion and evolution.
Sure enough, the KPC origi-
nated from the New York patient
despite NIHs precautions. Test-
ing bacteria fromthe17 addition-
al patients whoultimatelycaught
it shows the KPC was transmit-
ted three separate times fromPa-
tient No. 1, and then spread more
widely.
Even this sophisticated tech-
nology couldnt prove exactly
how transmission occurred. But
it turns out that Patient 3 had
been in the ICU at the same time
as the NewYork woman and real-
ly was the next infected, silently
carrying the bug longer before
becoming sick. That was enough
time for Patient 3s infection to
spread to Patient 2, who just got
sick faster.
Meanwhile, NIH was making
big changes. All the ICU patients
underwent more invasive test-
ing, using rectal swabs, to check
for silent germ carriers. A new
wall created a separate ICU to
house them. Doctors, nurses,
even janitors assigned there
could work nowhere else, and
monitors were paid to make sure
everyone followed infection-con-
trol rules.
Yet a patient a week was either
becoming infected or found to be
a silent carrier of the same KPC
strain.
Honestly,
we were very
scared at that
point, Segre
recalled.
Test after
test never
found the bug
on hospital
workers
hands. Tainted
objects like the
ventilator
couldnt be
ruled out but NIH adopted
more complex and expensive de-
contamination, using robot-like
machines to spray germ-killing
hydrogen peroxide into the ti-
niest of crevices in all affected
rooms and equipment.
Still, November brought more
bad news: The outbreak strain
had escaped the ICU, as two pa-
tients whod never been there
nowwerecarryingit. Anewisola-
tion room was built, and all 200-
plus patients inthe hospital start-
ed undergoing rectal testing.
The outbreak now is over, the
last carrier found in December.
But NIH isnt dropping its guard.
The isolation room remains,
used every time one of the seven
outbreak survivors returns to the
hospital for their ongoing re-
search studies because they
still carry the strain. Those rectal
tests continue, hospital-wide
once a month, to be sure no new
KPC strain sneaks in.
Bacterial sequencing is becom-
ing fast and cheap enough for
most large hospitals to use dur-
ing tough outbreaks, said Dr.
Lance Peterson, microbiology
and infectious disease director at
NorthShore University Health-
System in Evanston, Ill.
But another lesson is how
much it takes to guard against
these bugs sneaking in in the first
place. Peterson said his hospital
does weekly rectal testing of ev-
ery ICU patient as a precaution.
Theres better technology be-
coming available for your hospi-
tal to prevent these bacteria from
spreading, and this is what you
should expect from your hospi-
tal, he said.

Watertown police Lt.
Mark Raimo told the Town

call at 11:19 a.m. Wednesday
indicating that a man sus-
pected in a robbery in
Wilkes-Barre was hiding at
103 Artillery Road in Water-
town. Members of the Wa-
tertown police force and an
emergency response team
from Waterbury, Conn., sur-
rounded the house.
Adjacent houses on Artil-
lery Road were evacuated,
the Town Times newspaper
reported.
Raimo told the Town

vin knows the homeowners
on Artillery Road but de-
clined to say how.
Flavin stated on his Face-

Woodbury, Conn. and was
residing in Clarksville,
Tenn. He recently resided
on West River Street,
Wilkes-Barre, and in Wyom-

Salavantis said Flavin

object to extradition, but
typically a hearing is held
on the matter.
Wilkes-Barre police said
no information on Flavins
extradition was available
Wednesday night.

known for, said Glenn Bo-
zinski, director of admis-
sions at Misericordia.
At Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre, the record set
in 2007 is safe, but barely.
Wilkes expects 624 freshmen
this year, just three off the
all-time record of 627. It is
only the second time the
freshman class has topped
600.
Kings College, Wilkes-
Barre, will not set a record
but did surpass its goal of
500 freshmen by 15, and this
will go down as the fifth
largest incoming class in
school history.
Luzerne County Communi-
ty College is reporting fewer
new students and a lower
overall enrollment than in
2011, though those numbers,
as they are for all schools,
are unofficial until mid Octo-
ber. The smaller student
body comes even though the
school saw a 3.6 percent in-
crease in applications from
fall 2011 to fall 2012.
Wilkes also saw an in-
crease in prospective fresh-
man applications. It drew
2,979 this year, a record
number.
Melanie Wade, vice presi-
dent for enrollment services
at Wilkes, said the schools
reputation is driving those
numbers.
We know students and
their parents are looking for
a college experience in
which their children will be
mentored to grow as individ-
uals and future profession-
als, Wade said.
Keystone College in La
Plume will boast overall full-
time student enrollment of
1,400, the highest in the col-
leges 144 year history.
At 471, Maywood Universi-
ty in Scranton will be about
30 freshmen below its record
setting year of 2010 when the
school broke the 500 thresh-
old for the first time. At the
University of Scranton, 973
freshmen have enrolled, well
short of the record set last
year of 1,054. The school did,
however, set a record for ap-
plications as it received
9,673.
Penn State campuses in
Lehman Township and Sug-
arloaf Township will not re-
lease figures until they made
official in mid-October.
New campus buildings
Students will see some
new buildings when they be-
gin classes Monday. At Mi-
sericordia, theres also a new
athletic team to play in an
upgraded venue.
In addition to the opening
of the $6.2 million Michael
and Tina MacDowell Hall, a
118-bed, 37,000-square-foot,
three-story residence hall lo-
cated just inside the campus
north gate, the school has
put the finishing touches on
more than $700,000 in up-
grades to its Mangelsdorf
Field, where the Cougars
football team will play home
games in its inaugural sea-
son.
At Kings, a $10.5 million
expansion of the Scandlon
Gymnasium will be complet-
ed by the end of September.
The improvements include
new bleachers, addition of
air conditioning and renovat-
ed locker rooms in a 33,000-
square-foot, two story addi-
tion.

ATLANTA U.S. health of-
ficials reported Wednesday
three times the usual number
of West Nile cases for this time
of year and one expert called it
one of the largest outbreaks
since the virus appeared in this
country in 1999.
So far, 1,118 illnesses have
been reported, about half of
themin Texas, according to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. In an average
year, fewer than 300 cases are
reported by mid-August. There
have also been 41 deaths this
year.
Were in the midst of one of
the largest West Nile outbreaks
ever seen in the United States,
said Dr. Lyle Petersen, a CDC
official.
Never before have so many
illnesses been reported this
early, said Petersen, who over-
sees the CDCs mosquito-borne
illness programs.
Most infections are usually
reported in August and Sep-
tember, so its too early to say
how bad this year will end up,
CDC officials said.
They think the mild winter,
early spring and very hot sum-
mer have fostered breeding of
mosquitoes that pick up the vi-
rus from birds they bite and
then spread it to people.
West Nile virus was first re-
ported in the U.S. in 1999 in
New York, and gradually
spread across the country over
the years. It peaked in 2002 and
2003, when severe illnesses re-
ached nearly 3,000 and deaths
surpassed 260. Last year was
mild with fewer than 700 cases.
Only about one in five infect-
ed people get sick. One in 150
infected people will develop se-
vere symptoms including neck
stiffness, disorientation, coma
and paralysis.
In recent years, cases have
been scattered across the coun-
try. Hot spots are usually in
southeast Louisiana, central
and southern California, and
areas around Dallas, Houston,
Chicago and Phoenix.
Those areas seem to have a
combination of factors that in-
clude the right kinds of virus-
carrying mosquitoes and birds,
along with large numbers of
people who can be infected,
health officials say.
The best way to prevent West
Nile disease is to avoid mosqui-
to bites. Insect repellents,
screens on doors and windows
and wearing long sleeves and
pants are some of the recom-
mended strategies. Also, emp-
ty standing water from buck-
ets, kiddie pools and other
places to discourage breeding.

efore he left to play major college
football at Penn State, Eugene
Lewis ran and passed the ball all
over the Wyoming Valley Conference
as the biggest difference-maker for
Wyoming Valley West.
Darrell Crawford did the same at
GAR before heading off to Lafayette
College.
They were supremely-talented quar-
terbacks with similar styles, and they
were the two brightest stars in the
league.
But their old high schools have rea-
sons to believe this season still looks
shiny, even without them.
Because Valley West and GAR may
just find themselves dazzled by new
stars under center.
Mike Baur has a name Spartans fans
will surely remember and Corey Moore
had a game last year GAR fans wont
soon forget.
And theyre looking to make their
own memorable moments now.
You cant replace a guy like Darrell
Crawford, said Moore, a senior and
GARs new quarterback.
You dont replace a player like Eu-
gene, Valley West coach Pat Keating
said.
They dont have to.
Baur doesnt have to rush for 1,410
yards and throw for 1,016 more and
produce a combined 37 touchdowns
the way Lewis did from Valley Wests
quarterback spot last season.
Moore doesnt have to run the keep-
er like Crawford, who rushed for 1,308
yards and threw for 673 yards and
combined for 23 offensive touchdowns.
All the new guys have to do to attain
success is be themselves.
Baur just keeps getting better and
better for us every day, Keating said.
But hes not going to magically turn
into Lewis, or even his uncle.
Strong bloodlines
Way back in the early 1980s, Frank
Baur became a big name throwing
passes for Valley West, before he went
on to a record-setting college career at
Lafayette and on to a tryout with the
New York Giants.
So Mike Baur not only has a legend-
ary quarterback to follow, hes got a
legacy to live up to.
Talk about feeling pressure.
I kind of do, said Mike Baur, a
junior, with all the records he (his
uncle Frank) set at Lafayette and all he
did here. Big shoes to fill with him and
Eugene.
Those shoes will fit him just fine if
Mike Baur continues to move Valley
Wests offense with his arm the way he
has during preseason practices.
Michael brings some other things to
the table, said Keating, whose offense
will likely be based on more of a tradi-
tional passing attack than the option
running Lewis provided. Hes ex-
tremely intelligent, very tough, a phys-
ical kid. Things will change.
Over at two-time state qualifier GAR,
nobodys expecting an adjustment to
the results. But the way the Grenadiers
go about gunning for a third straight
trip to states may be altered a little.
GAR fans got a small sampling of the
strong-armed Moore when he threw for
more than 300 yards and four touch-
downs in an emergency start against
Lakeland last year.

OAKLAND, Calif. Make it two 50-
game suspensions inexactly one week
both starters for contending teams from
the Bay Area, both for testosterone.
Former CyYoungAwardwinner Barto-
lo Colon of the Oakland Athletics was
suspendedfor 50 games Wednesday after
a positive test, joining San Francisco Gi-
ants outfielder Melky Cabrera on the sus-
pended list for the rest of the regular sea-
son.
Major League Baseball made the an-
nouncement of Colons penalty a week af-
ter All-Star game MVP Cabrera received
his 50-game suspension
I apologize to the fans, to my team-
mates and to the Oakland As, Colon
said in a statement released by the play-
ers association. I accept responsibility
for myactions andI will serve mysuspen-
sion as required by the joint drug pro-
gram.
He will miss the final 40 games of the
regular season and the first 10 games of
the postseason if Oakland advances that
far.

LOS ANGELES As an um-
pire for decades on some of ten-
niss biggest stages, Lois Good-
manmixedit upwithJohnMcEn-
roe and Martina Navratilova,
Roger Federer and the Williams
Sisters.
Already in New York City for
next weeks U.S. Open where she
was to serve as a line judge, the
70-year-old Goodman was met
Tuesday with a felony arrest war-
rant from her hometown of Los
Angeles, where
police and pros-
ecutors say she
beat her 80-
year-old hus-
band to death
with a coffee
mug in April.
Goodman
has been a line
judge at the U.S. Open for many
years and was scheduled to work
at this years tournament, which
begins Monday, and was about to
begin working the tournaments
qualifying matches on Tuesday,
said tournament spokesman Tim
Curry, who had no further com-
ment.
In1994 when Goodman had al-
ready been officiating for 15
years, she was profiled by the Los
Angeles Times and described as
an avid tennis fan who got the
chance to be a referee.
Its exciting, Goodman said
at the time. This is my favorite
spot and Im out there rubbing
shoulders with the best players.
Theres no real way to describe
it.
Goodman said the job was
worth the paltry pay, the dirty
looks from McEnroe and the ver-
bal assaults from players like
Andre Agassi.
You just cant let anything
bother you, Goodman said.
And you cant take anything per-
sonally. If you do, youre in big
trouble.
The profile said Goodman and
her husband, AlanGoodman, had
owned a Southern California au-
to parts business since the early
1960s and had three daughters.

LAUREL RUN Unlike the

this Hillclimb favored endu-

over horsepower, strategy over
mechanics.

is nothing like the race that
made the Laurel Mountain hill
famous.
Hardings Frank Redmond
pushed on the final straighta-
way to come from behind to
claim the second leg of the Val-
leys Fastest Man series. Scran-
tons Heidi Peoples won her
second consecutive female
overall race to push a com-
manding lead in the overall
womens standings.
Ill tell you: you get halfway
up and you just feel pooped,
Redmond said. Plus, I was
hurting. Thank God, you see
everyone at the finish line. To
be honest, thats the only thing
that pulled me through. I kept
driving for that.
Redmond stood in fourth
place for much of the race until
he caught up to Conshohock-
ens Sean-Patrick Oswald and
Shavertowns Kyle Suponcic.

May 2010.

eight-plus innings, and Jay

both runs while striking out
four and walking none, retired
the first 14 batters before Do-
monic Browns two-out homer
in the fifth.
Brown doubled off the wall
in right-center with one out in
the eighth and pinch-hitter
Kevin Fransden reached on an
infield single leading off the
ninth for the other hits off
Arroyo.

He fanned four and survived
five walks, then left to a stand-
ing ovation from the crowd of
17,239, Arizonas smallest at
home this season.

Moore said.
Since then, his self-certainty
has grown.
Corey Moore has really come
into his own, GAR coach Paul
Wiedlich Jr. said. He has real
good command of our offense.
He has some lofty goals.
Both Moore and Baur carry
grand ambitions for the present.
Neither should have to aspire to
be something out of the past.

they rounded the final curve.
Redmondpulledaway to a 7:13.3
victory, eclipsing Skwierz by 2.3
seconds.
My coach (Chris Wadas) told
me to make small move, said
Redmond, a Wyoming Area and
Misericordia graduate. You on-
ly have three or four lives, and
you need to use them wisely. I
usedthree hardmoves, andI was
able to have a fourth left in me to
pull away.
The womens race, on the oth-
er hand, was a runaway fromthe
first incline. Peoples pulled away
fromthe other female runners at
the 400-meter mark, and cruised
to a 7:57.1-finish that proved to
be the fifth overall fastest time of
the race. Peoples bested second-
place St. Clairs Samantha Snu-
lais by 2 minutes, 40.1 seconds.
It wasnt even that close,
Snulais said. Once she took off,
I said to myself Thats it. Imjust
tryingtoget throughthis race. It
was brutal.
Runners struggled with steep
inclines and tight turns that they
normally dont expect on the flat
surfaces they typically race on.
Giants Despair forced Skwierz
into breaking away fromhis con-
servative style of running, in-
stead aiming for a breakaway
that eventually cost him the
race.
I got a little nervous,
Skwierz said. I think I made my
move and started going after
thoseguys earlier thanexpected,
and I was able to grab the lead.
On the last hill down the stretch,
my legs just werent going any-
where. I was just lucky to get
across that line at that point.
The win puts Redmond into
first overall entering the final leg
of the Valleys Fastest Man com-
petition. Redmond finished sec-
ond behind Oswald, who took
third Wednesday, at last weeks
Kirby Park Run.
Redmond, Oswald and
Skwierz will vie for a $5,000 fas-
test runner prize when competi-
tionresumes at 7 p.m. onAug. 31
on South River Street in Wilkes-
Barre.
Im more of a track guy the
way it is, Redmond said.
Strength is probably my weak-
est spot. Sothis winis abigboost
for me. Next week onflat ground
will be suited for me.
Tony Korch, of Nanticoke, and
Tracy Strungis, of Mountain
Top, won the mens and womens
Masters race, respectively.
Korch, 52, crossed the finish line
eighth overall at an 8:27.1 clip.

FASTEST
Continued fromPage 1B
BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
For the second straight week,
Heidi Peoples of Scranton was
the fastest woman on the cir-
cuit, finishing in 7:57.10.
Texas reliever Zachary Sanchez
loaded the bases in top of the
fifth after hitting a batter with
two outs, but got a force at third
to get of that inning.
San Antonio small ball earned
Texas a short-lived3-2leadinthe
bottomof the fifth. Landry Wide-
man had an RBI single before
pinch runner Jack Scarborough
scampered home fromthird on a
passed ball.
But Texas couldnt hold on in
top of the sixth. Rucker led off
the inning with a walk and
moved to second on Jayson
Browns single before racing
home after an errant pickoff
throw at first sailed into the out-
field.
Tennessee had taken 2-1 lead
inthe thirdafter12-year-oldslug-
gers Brown and Brock Myers hit
back-to-back homers. Myers
sidestepped up the line as he
watched the ball sail on to the
grassy hill beyond the left-field
fence.
In the early game, strong
pitching, solid defense and pow-
erful bats carried the team from
Tokyo to the international finals,
also this weekend. Kotaro Kiyo-
miya homered in the first, and
starter Ryuji Osada struck out
seven.
The left-handed Kiyomiya dis-
playedprodigious power for a13-
year-old slugger.
His blast landed nearly half-
way up the hill beyond the right-
fieldwall, about 310feet fromthe
plate.
As soon as I hit it I knew it
was a home run, he said
through an interpreter. Thats
why I didnt take off quickly.
Panama finally got on the
board in the fifth after Edwin
Nieto hustled around first to
score ona double by Daniel Cruz
and an error.
But Osada got the next batter
to ground weakly to short to end
the threat.
Traditional power Japan is in
contention again to make that
victory lap around the park. Ja-
pan has appeared in the World
Series finals four out of the previ-
ous six years, including a title in
2010.
Now, Tokyo is two wins away
from taking home another title
to Japan. Noriatsu Osaka retired
the side in order in the sixth for
the save.
The two teams then lined up
for the customary postgame
high-fives at the plate before Ja-
pans players sprinted out to cen-
ter to pay homage to the bust of
Howard Lamade just beyond the
outfield wall another Japan
tradition at the World Series.
The main Little League stadium
is named after Lamade.
Japan pounded out eight hits
but squandered a couple other
scoring opportunities. Despite
the first-inninghomers, manager
Yoichi Kubo thinks his boys
arent swinging the bats well.
We have not adjusted to this
bigstage at theplate, Kobosaid.
Our pitching has been very
good.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
Defending champion John Isner
overcame two rain delays to ad-
vance instraight sets, while Andy
Roddick was eliminated fromthe
Winston-SalemOpenonWednes-
day.
The third-seeded Isner, ranked
10th in the world, needed only 71
minutes after the two delays to
beat 13th-seeded Jurgen Melzer
of Austria 6-4, 6-3 in the third
round at the Wake Forest Tennis
Complex.
The fifth-seeded Roddick, a
former world No. 1 player now
ranked 21st, fell to 81st-ranked
Steve Darcis of Belgium7-6(8-6),
7-6 (7-3), in the final hard-court
tournament before the U.S. Open
next week in New York.
Isner, born in nearby Greens-
boro, will face Belgiums David
Goffin in a quarterfinal match
Thursday. Goffin held off Po-
lands Lukasz Kubot 6-3, 1-6, 7-6
(7-5).
Yet getting on the court proved
to be a challenge for Isner and
Melzer their match was
pushedbackbya nearlytwo-hour
rain delay, then delayed an addi-
tional 45 minutes when it rained
again during warmups.
However, Isner didnt show
any signs of sluggishness, serv-
ing14 aces two coming on sec-
ond serves and breaking Mel-
zers serve twice in beating the
left-hander for the first time in
three tries.
Its never easy playing at
night, and the rain made it more
difficult, Isner said. But I
played well. I served well, and I
hit my second serve especially
well.
All in all, Im very happy with
the match, and very happy Im
still alive.
Roddick had 13 aces, but the
2003 U.S. Open champion strug-
gled to find consistency with his
ground strokes and Darcis short
game, whose drop shots caught
Roddick flat-footed on several oc-
casions.
I did not expect this, Darcis
said. When I came here, I was
not playing so good. But I had
two good first matches, and here
I play very good tennis. ... OK,
Andy didnt play his best tennis,
but for me its a great win, espe-
cially before the U.S. Open.
Roddick smashed his racket af-
ter losingthe first set, andargued
with chair umpire Carlos Ber-
nardes on a let serve call early in
the second set.
I served OK, but I didnt re-
turn too well and I wasnt hitting
the ball clean out there today,
said Roddick, who had beaten
Darcis in two previous meetings.
If I dont lose serve, I should do
fine, andI didnt. That just speaks
to howfar off the rest of my game
was today.

lowing just one hit, one walk and
striking out four to earn the win

win at New England on Monday,
and Eagles coach Andy Reid said
he probably wont play the rest of
the preseason. Foles, the rookie
third-round pick, will start in his
place Friday night at the Browns.
That was a prettygoodshot he
took, Reid said of the hit that
knocked Vick out of the game
against the Patriots after just six
plays. It was in a soft spot, and a
good shot he took.
Vick is just 4 for 7 for 11 yards
and has been on the field for only
12 plays in the first two preseason
games. If he doesnt play again, he
could be rusty for the season
opener.
Would I like himto have some
more reps? Would he like more
reps? Yeah, Im sure both of us
wouldlike himto have more reps,
but you bank on his maturity and
experience to get him through a
situationlike this, Reidsaid. So,
thats what well do.
Vicks teammates arent wor-
ried about it, either.
I dont thinkthats a concernat
all, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin
said. Weve been around him
long enough, we had all those
OTA reps.
Vick has missed three games
because of rib injuries in each of
the past two seasons and has
started 16 games just once in his
nine years in the NFL. His style of
play has been called reckless, and
critics wonder if he can ever hold
up over a full season.
ReiddefendedVicks intentions
on the play he was injured.
He was trying to make some-
body miss, and he wheeled back-
ward about 15 yards, Reid said.
He had an available receiver
down the field, and he was trying
to make a play. To tell himthat he
cant make that throw, youre not
going to tell him that. You just
want everyone to do their job so
that doesnt happen back there. It
was when he spun around that he
got caught with that.

No harm done? Vick feels fine
The Eagles quarterback will
rest up from a shot to the
ribs and start in Week 1.

Michael Vick is already fighting
injuries, exiting both Eagles
preseason games in pain.
ASHBURN, Va. Chris Coo-
ley just finished Catch-22 and
ToKill aMockingbird. Hes cur-
rently plowing through a book
about Steve Jobs and has Wuth-
eringHeights sittingat homefor
his bedtime reading. His pottery
hobby has been well-known in
the Washington Redskins com-
munity for years.
Imtrying to read a lot of high
school classic literature, stuff
that Ive already read, Cooley
said. Im so easily entertained. I
cansit andreada whole bookand
then at the end think I really like
that or think I just wasted my
time.
So wait a minute. Does the
nickname Captain Chaos really
fit this guy anymore?
Maybe not.
Hes more like Professor X,
from the X-Men, said fellow
tight end Fred Davis, a reference
to the brains behind the oper-
ation in the popular comic books
and movies.
Take a deep breath and realize
how time flies. Cooley is now 30
years old, a veteran voice in the
locker room. No active player has
been with the team longer than
the 2004 third-round draft pick
who has combined off-field goofi-
ness with a superb work ethic,
enough to earn two Pro Bowl ap-
pearances while setting the fran-
chise record for most career
catches by a tight end.
Hes still very much a kid at
heart, still the same Cooley who
helped pioneer the use of blogs
by athletes, who once mistakenly
posted details of his checking ac-
count on the Internet and then
had to scramble to the bank to
cancel everything, who married
an ex-Redskins cheerleader, and
who prided himself for missing
zero games and only one practice
during his first five NFL seasons,
a streak that ended when he
broke his ankle in 2009.
But hes always been as much
cerebral as comical. And these
days, in the NFL sense, hes also
an old man, coming off another
injury and yielding his starting
spot tosomeoneyounger. Hes es-
sentially become a utility backup
during this preseasonfilling in
at fullback as well as tight end.
Its not even a sure bet that Coo-
ley will make the Redskins 53-
man roster.
I cant say at this point what
exactly Im going to do, Cooley
said. If you ask me what I want
to do, I want to start at tight end
andcatch80 balls this year, but at
the same time I want this teamto
be successful, this offense to be
successful, us to win football
games, so I really dont care
where I am if were doing that.
Last season Cooleys knee
problems led to him being shut
down after playing in just five
games while Davis broke out.
But Davis also was suspended
for the final four games for failing
a drug test. Without the slip-up,
he almost certainly would have
received a multiyear contract
that would have supplanted Coo-
ley for good. Instead, Davis has a
one-year deal and will receive a
one-year suspension if he slips up
again.
That makes Cooley a potential
insurance policy, although coach
Mike Shanahan said he wont
think that way when assembling
the final roster. Either way, it
helps Cooleys case that he hasnt
expressed any bitterness about
his spot on the depth chart.
That shows you how much of
a veteran he is, Davis said. Alot
of people would be upset. Every-
body wants to be the starter, ev-
erybody wants to be the main
guy, but you have your time, and
when somebody elses time
comes up its going to be hap-
pen to everybody in the NFL
hes handled it very well and hes
definitely helped me.

Cooleys role

Veteran tight end Chris Cooley has set records for the Redskins, but this year he is viewed as more
of an insurance policy for starter Fred Davis at the position, and his roster spot is not guaranteed.
BEREA, Ohio Joe Hadens
training camp and a stormy
one for the Browns ended be-
fore any of his teammates were
finished.
Arguably Clevelands best de-
fensive player, Haden was kicked
off the practice field Wednesday
by coach Pat Shurmur, who felt
the third-year cornerback was be-
ing too physical with rookie wide
receiver Travis Benjamin during
a passing drill on the final day of
workouts open to fans.
Haden was ordered to leave
roughly an hour into the practice
by an angry Shurmur, who de-
clined to provide details of the in-
cident during his news confer-
ence.
Imnot going to talk about it,
Shurmur chirped. Thats be-
tween me and the player. I have a
great deal of respect for Joe. If
you want details, youre going to
havetofindit onTwitter. Myonly
apology is that I used bad lan-
guage and the fans were here to
see it.
Joes a great competitor and I
appreciate what he does and who
he is andthats the last youll hear
me talk about it.
Shurmur didnt even let a re-
porter finish a follow-up ques-
tion.
Dont ask, he snapped.
Dont ask. You have to go some-
where else to find out.
During 7-on-7 drills, Benjamin
caught a touchdown pass in the
backof the endzone whenhe was
taken down by Haden, who un-
successfully tried to strip the ball
and then yanked on the back of
Benjamins jersey. After being
ejected by Shurmur, Haden re-
moved his helmet and shoulder
pads and quickly headed into the
locker room.
Team president Mike Holm-
gren was watching practice from
a nearby bench when Haden was
excused.
The Browns denied interview
requests for Haden, who was
back on the field for the after-
noon walkthrough.
After that session, Shurmur
said he and Haden had cleared
the air.
Joe and I talked and every-
things fine, Shurmur said. Its a
dead issue.
Shurmurs annoyance with Ha-
den could be understandable giv-
en the rash of injuries that have
plagued the Browns since camp
opened last month.
Benjaminrecentlymissedtime
with an undisclosed injury, and
13 players, including rookie run-
ning back Trent Richardson, sat
out Wednesdays workout.

Joe Haden drew the wrath of his coach on Wednesday after a hard
takedown on a receiver in the end zone after a play.
UNIVERSITY PARK The
man who has guided Penn State
wrestlings ascension to the na-
tional mountain top will be
sticking around Happy Valley a
little longer.
Cael Sanderson signed a five-
year contract extension with
Penn State on Tuesday after-
noon, a university spokesman
confirmed to the CDT.
Sanderson also confirmed the
new extension on his Twitter
page.
I have a job for 5 more years.
Just signed a contract exten-
sion. Penn State!! Sanderson
tweeted.
The extension for Sanderson
was in the works for months
with talks beginning in April
shortly after the Nittany Lions
romped to their second consec-
utivenational championshipun-
der Sandersons tutelage.
Since he took over the reins
from Troy Sunderland, Sander-
sonhas ledPennState to its first
two Big Ten championships,
two national titles and has
coached 14 All-Americans and
four individual NCAA cham-
pions.
Under Sanderson, Penn State
has dominat-
ed the major
college wres-
tling land-
scape, racking
up a 43-8-2
overall dual
meet record in
three seasons.
In addition to its NCAA cham-
pionship wins, Penn State has
secured two Southern Scuffle ti-
tles, a Virginia Duals crown and
a Hodge Trophy Winner in ju-
nior David Taylor.
Sanderson, the only undefeat-
ed wrestler in NCAAhistory, re-
cently returned from London,
where he helped coach Nittany
Lion Wrestling Club athlete
Jake Varner to an Olympic gold
medal win.
A graduate of Iowa State,
Sanderson coached at his alma
mater where he led the Cy-
clones to three top-five finishes
in the NCAA Championships in
each of his years as coach before
moving to Penn State in 2009.
Sandersonalso ledthe Cyclones
to three Big 12 titles in his time
there.
As a wrestler, Sandersonwent
unbeaten in college, racking up
a159-0recordandwonanOlym-
pic gold medal at the 2004
Olympic Games.
Sanderson could not be reac-
hed for comment and Penn
State acting athletic director
David Joyner did not respond to
interview requests.

Sanderson
lon signs another major league
contract.
Its a shock, Oakland reliev-
er Grant Balfour said. Hes a
guy that were definitely relying
on right now. I guess you could
say its bad timing any time, but
especially now.
Oakland, which hasnt made
the playoffs since 2006, began
Wednesday a half-game out in
the AL wild-card race.
The As were preparing for an
afternoon series finale against
Minnesota when they got the
news from clubhouse televi-
sions. Aclosed-door teammeet-
ing was called.
The Oakland Athletics are
disappointed to learn of todays
suspension, the team said in a
statement.
Starter Brandon McCarthy
took that a little further.
You can say someones a
good teammate, but it has to ex-
tend in all facets, McCarthy
said after a 5-1 win. Off the
field, on the field and how you
are in the clubhouse, no matter
how look at it, weve now lost a
really important part of our
team to his actions.
General manager Billy Beane
received word fromMLBearlier
Wednesday and began search-
ing for a starter to take Colons
turn in the rotation Thursday at
Tampa Bay. Tyson Ross will be
called up from Triple-A Sacra-
mento. Ross arrived to the Col-
iseum and moved into Colons
locker.
It shocked all of us just the
fact someone got caught for
that, Ross said.
Beane addressedthe As inthe
clubhouse before the team took
the field for pregame warmups.
Listen, its disappointing.
From a baseball standpoint,
were scrambling, Beane said.
Were all disappointed, not just
for the Giants and the As, but
for baseball.
The 39-year-old Colon is 10-9
with a 3.43 ERAin 24 starts this
season, his first withthe As, and
has a 171-122 record in 15 big
league seasons. A two-time All-
Star, the burly right-hander won
the 2005 ALCy Young Award af-
ter going 21-8 for the Los An-
geles Angels.
Colon will lose the remaining
$469,945 of his $2 million base
salary this year. He also has
earned $750,000 in perform-
ance bonuses based on starts
and $150,000 based on innings,
which are not impacted. Thurs-
days start would have earned
him another $250,000, and the
suspension will cost him the
chance to make $850,000 in ad-
ditional bonuses based on in-
nings.
Manager Bob Melvin hadnt
spoken to Colon as of late morn-
ing Wednesday.
It is what it is. We certainly
dont support the actions, but
youhave tomove forward, Mel-
vin said. You go through things
over the course of the season.
This is just one of them. ... You
have to have a short memory.

Lois Goodman told police it
appeared to have been an acci-
dent and she had been out all
day refereeing a tennis match,
said Lt. David Storaker of the
Los Angeles PoliceDepartment.
When Goodman found her
husband unresponsive in bed,
she said she surmised he had
fallen down the steps, had a
heart attack and managed to get
back upstairs to the bed, Sto-
raker said.
It was a suspicious death
from the beginning, he added.
Los Angeles County coroners
office spokesman Ed Winter
said investigators were sent to
the mortuary where Alan Good-
mans body was taken, and they
noticed that he had multiple
sharp force injuries on and
aroundhis headthat wereincon-
sistent with Lois Goodmans ex-
planation.
Police found similar inconsis-
tencies, including an amount of
blood that did not suggest a fall
andabrokencoffeemug, Storak-
er said, and working with coro-
ners investigators ruled the
death a homicide and presented
their conclusions to the district
attorneys office. A warrant for
Goodmans arrest was issued
Aug. 14.
Storaker declined to discuss a
possible motive.
We dont want to taint any-
thing by releasing that, Storak-
er said. We know they were to-
gether at several locations dur-
ing that day and would like to
talk to people who saw them.
One tennis official believes
Goodman is innocent.
Ive worked with her for
years and I dont believe any of
this, Annette Buck, director of
adult and senior tennis at the
U.S. Tennis Association, toldthe
Times.

Study: Middle class slide
The middle class is receiving less of
Americas total income, declining to its
smallest share in decades as median
wages stagnate in the economic dol-
drums and wealth concentrates at the
top.
A study released Wednesday by the
Pew Research Center highlights dimin-
ished hopes, too, for the roughly 50
percent of adults defined as middle
class, with household incomes ranging
from $39,000 to $118,000. The report
describes this mid-tier group as suf-
fering its worst decade in modern
history, having fallen backward in
income for the first time since the end
of World War II.
Mount Airy license renewed
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control
Board on Wednesday unanimously
voted to renew the casino operators
license of Mount Airy 1 LLC, operator
of the Mount Airy Casino Resort in
Paradise Township, Monroe County.
The board determined that Mount
Airy had fulfilled the obligations under
its operators license and qualified to
have its license renewed. The renewed
license is for a three-year period.
The board said Mount Airy had
generated more than $451 million in
gaming taxes since opening in Oct.
2007.
$9 billion loss for H-P
Hewlett-Packard says it suffered an
$8.9 billion loss during its most recent
quarter as the technology company
accounted for an acquisition that hasnt
panned out the way management envi-
sioned.
Hewlett-Packard Co. had telegraphed
the news earlier when it disclosed
plans to take an $8 billion charge to
reflect the shrinking value of Electronic
Data Systems, a technology consulting
service that it bought for $13 billion in
2008.
Revenue sank 5 percent.
PayPal service expands
PayPal is expanding its brick-and-
mortar payment services to more than
7 million stores across the U.S. in a
partnership with Discover Financial
Services.
EBay Inc.s payments unit said
Wednesday that retailers that take
Discover cards will be able to process
PayPal payments beginning next year.
People will be able to pay using PayPal
cards and later, mobile devices.

WASHINGTON The recovery
of the U.S. housing market is looking
steadier and more sustainable, a
trend that will likely add to econom-
ic growth in 2012 for the first time in
seven years.
Purchases, construction and pric-
es are gradually but consistently in-
creasing, though they remain far be-
low levels in a healthy economy.
Sales of previously occupied
homes rose 2.3 percent in July from
June to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 4.47 million, the National As-
sociation of Realtors said Wednes-
day. Over the past 12 months, sales
have jumped more than 10 percent.
New-home sales have been streng-
thening, too. Toll Brothers, a builder
of high-end homes, said Wednesday
that its enjoying its most sustained
demand in more than five years.
Other recent reports add to the
picture of an improving housing
market, thoughonethats recovering
at a painfully slow and uneven pace.
Home prices are rising nation-
wide. They increased 2.2 percent
from April to May, according to one
leading index. That was the second
straight increase after seven months
of flat or declining prices.
The median U.S. home price rose
9.4 percent in July compared with a
year earlier to $187,300, the Real-
tors group said. That was the big-
gest annual gainin5
1
2 years. One rea-
sonfor the increase is that foreclosed
homes are making up a smaller pro-
portion of sales than they did a year
ago.
Rising demand for luxury homes
also is contributing to higher sales.

Home comeback is building
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
ALLENTOWN Residential cus-
tomers of PPL Electric Utilities will
see their bills decline slightly next
month, but small businesses face a13
percent increase.
The utility said the new rates that
begin Sept. 1 are based in its latest
cost of power for customers who
have not chosen an alternative sup-
plier.
For residential customers, the new
price to compare will be 7.907
cents per kilowatt-hour, down from
the current 7.993 cents per kilowatt-
hour.
Small-business customers will see
thepriceof power riseto10.346cents
per kilowatt-hour from 9.154 cents
per kilowatt-hour.
The cost of power makes up about
two-thirds of the typical residential
monthly bill, and a larger proportion
of a typical businesss bill.
PPL Electric Utilities purchases
power onthe openmarket andresells
it tocustomers at thesameprice. The
utility makes its profits on the sepa-
rate distribution charge.
A mismatch between the amount
of power PPL contracted to buy in
the prior quarter and the actual de-
mand contributed to the spike in
business rates.
Amajor impact this quarter was a
reconciliation of under-collection,
said Kurt Blumenau, a PPL spokes-
man. Demand is calculated separate-
ly for each class of service and the
utility is able to adjust for inaccura-
cies each quarter.
That group (small businesses)
happened to have a more significant
one thaninthe past, Blumenausaid.
That could happen because busi-
nesses cut back on power use, or be-
cause more small businesses opted
tobuy power fromanalternative sup-
plier.
Almost half the customers in that
rate class have already switched,
Blumenau said.
Pennsylvania opened the electrici-
ty market to competition on Jan. 1,
2010 and rates have fluctuated since.
Last summer PPLs residential
charge was 8.774 cents per kilowatt-
hour; that haddroppedto6.935cents
by June 1, when it rose to the current
7.993 cents.
Rates are adjusted every three
months.

Well, theyre not. Quite
the contrary, computers and
other electronics seemtobe
adept at suckinguplarge amounts of dust and
dirt. Andthe keyboardis amongthe worst of
the culprits.
The designof most keyboards virtually
ensures their status as a crumbanddust trap,
andtheyhave the addednegative of being
veryhardtoclean. Various solutions are avail-
able compressedair, special dusters, evena
curious kindof goothat picks updirt.
But short of remov-
ingthe keys (anannoy-

easywaytoget a key-

Computer periph-
eral manufacturer
Logitechhas come up
withaninnovative
(albeit obvious) solution: a washable key-
board.
The K310has a designthat is inherently
easytocleaninsteadof depressingintoa
sunkenarea onthe keyboard, as is common,
the LogitechWashable Keyboardfeatures keys
that are slightlyraised, makingdustingeasier.
More important, the keyboardcanbe sub-
mergedinwater andbuilt-indrainage holes let
the excess runout. The keyboardalsohas a
special quick-drycoatingsoyoudont needto
wait all dayfor it todrybefore usingit again.
This is a great idea. Things like keyboards,
mice andevensmartphones andtablet devices
shouldbe washable.

Weather bal-
loons being
launched this
morning will
transmit warmer
temperature
readings down
from high above
the ground com-
pared to 24
hours ago. This
will indicate a
more stable
atmosphere and
therefore much
less of a chance
for showers.
Under a
strengthening
ridge of high
pressure, condi-
tions over the
next two days
will remain dry
with clear skies
and very warm
afternoons. An
up-slope wind
off the ocean
could develop
this weekend,
causing some
cloudiness on
Saturday and the
risk of a shower.
So far this sum-
mer our rainfall
is still running
about 1.8 below
normal.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms from the
Upper Midwest to the central Plains. Monsoonal moisture will result in widespread shower and thun-
derstorm activity from the Southwest into the central Rockies. A storm system will produce showers
and thunderstorms along the Southeast Coast into Florida.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2012
timesleader.com
MINNEAPOLIS Weve all been
there cornered at a party, in the gro-
cery store or while on a simple neigh-
borhoodstroll, ensnaredinanintermi-
nable conversation, our niceness sty-
mieing the vehement desire to cut off
the talker and cut out.
But not all of us have experienced
the Johnson goodbye. Since Tom
Stangl married into the Johnson fam-
ily decades ago, he has learned to
chuckle at the clans perennial pen-
chant for an adieu ritual that is ex-
tremely kind and incredibly slow, bid-
ding godspeed with no speed whatso-
ever.
Ive seen them introduce new sub-
jects all the way to the curb. One time,
one of themfollowedmy sontohis car
and then got in the car with him and
stayed 30 min-
utes. And my
sonactuallyhad
to go some-
where.
Because fam-
ilymembers are
so fond of one
another, and
the practice is
so well-estab-
lished, its fun
to watch,
Stangl said. But
getting button-
holed by a boor
or a bore, an
egotist or a po-
lemicist, can be
quite the chal-
lenge.
True experts
a politician, a
psychologist
and a bartender
use provenex-
it strategies. It
should be little
surprise that a favored tactic among
these seasoned veterans of dealing
with gabby gasbags involves modern
technology.
The cell phone is kind of a get-you-
out-of-anythingexcuse, saidT.J. Aker-
son, bartender at Mission American
Kitchen in Minneapolis. He said cus-
tomers will look at their phone, and
that will give theman excuse. Ive got
to call this person.
Minnesota Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Far-
mington, admitted that he uses con-
temporary telecommunications to his
advantageinmoreways thanone. My
favoritetrickisthat I havetheabilityto
have my phone make a noise, Garofa-
lo said. One of the benefits of owning
an iPhone 4S is I can make it chirp on
demand with Siri.
Then, when hes putting the phone
to its intended use, the easiest thing
todois theunintentional phonedrop,
hesaid. Yousay, Hey, this calls break-
ing up, Imabout to lose my signal.
Garofalo is quick to point out that
these tactics are for peers and definite-
ly not for voters in his district. You
never cut off a constituent. When they
get me onthe phone, Imonthe phone
till theyre done talking. They visit me,
the same thing.
Disengaging from a peer is another
matter. The meanest thing to do in a
(political)groupfunctionistosay, You
know whos great on basket weaving?
Rep. Johnsonhereisreallyanexpert.
Cutting someone off is probably
suitedonly for one-way, soapboxsitua-
tions, psychologist Mindy Mitnick
said. When you want to have a con-
versation but the other person wants
tohaveamonologue,shesaid, youre
going to get out of that situation soon-

go up, Katie Murgolis,
5, shouts to her grandfa-
ther Jimmy as he mans
one side of the see-saw at Quality Hill
Park in Nanticoke, using just his hands
tomake it gowhichever way she pleases.
Nowdown, she yells again, not a sec-
ondafter she hits the highest point of the
see-saw.
She loves this, Jimmy Murgolis of
Hanover Township said as he took a
break and dusted his hands off. Me? I
like when she relieves me of my duties
and I can sit on a bench.
Jimmy said the duo likes to frequent
Quality Hill not only for the playground
equipment, but the location.
Its kind of tucked away back here,

Whenrunningintosomeone, you
can say, Id love to catch up with
you more, but right now I have to
fill-in-the-blank, pickupmychild,
saidMitnick, whoworksat theUp-
town Mental Health Center. She
added, if youre anhonest person,
you follow up. But some people,
when they say, Its so great to
see you; lets do lunch, what it
really means is I cant stand to
talktoyouforonemoresecond.

Asimilar tactic can work at a


neighborhood or other social
gathering. Its always accept-
able to say, Its so good to see
you. I just want to make sure I
catch up with Jack over there.
Theresnothingwrongwithsay-
ing you want to see so-and-so.
Another potential ally, espe-
cially for hosts, is self-depreca-
tion. Some people make jokes
about their age, Mitnick said.
You know, we dont stay up
as late as we used to, weve got
to clean up and go to bed.
If you have children, you can
say the kids are up real early in
the morning. If youknowinad-
vance that you invited people
wholinger, youcanevensayinthe
invitation, Weve got to make this
an early night.
Above all, she added, Say
something gracious. We just wish
we could talk all night with you
guys.
Thats generally not as neces-
sary in the workplace, where it
never hurts to form a buddy sys-
tem to take the air out of wind-
bags: Anytimeonemember of this
tagteamspots theother onebeing
shanghaied by a blabbermouth,
she can butt in and say, Hey, did
you know so-and-so was looking
for you?
Bartender Akerson said that
when he gets stuck with a bab-
bling barfly, one of the servers
might see that and call my name.
Between bar patrons, however,
more drastic action often is neces-
sary. People will just excuse
themselves to go to the bathroom
for a long time, Akerson said.
Sometimes Ive seen them find
the server and pay and just sneak
out the door. It might be the only
thingyoudowhentheres noother
way to extricate yourself from a
conversation that you probably
didnt want to have in the first
place.

In his appointed familial duties,

Its always going to be like this.
You could apply an exit strategy,
but it will most likely fail. Theres

he said. Its quiet. Its like its own
little world.
The quiet little world is a result
of a determined group of people
that got together 60years agowith
the urge to take improving their
community into their own hands.
A bunch of neighbors got to-
gether and decided they wanted
to do something for the kids,
Kenny Gill, president of the Qual-
ity Hill Playground Association,
said, sotheyovertooksomeland
that belonged to a coal company
and built a playground.
As the years went on and the
original members of the play-
ground association grew older,
the care once giventothe area de-
clined. Ten years ago Gill, along
with Nicole Kruczek, Sandy
Bohn, and Ryan Verazin, decided
to revive the associationandperk
the park back up.
Why not? Gill said. Its a
great place inthe community. We
wanted to continue what the
original organization started.
The association got to repaint-
ing the equipment and began to
holdfundraisers toaccrue money
for park upkeep.
This is a private organization,
so all the money that goes into
the park comes from personal
fundraisers, Gill said.
The park has hosted Easter egg
hunts, Halloween parades, and the
annual Picnic in the Park, which
will takeplacefrom4to10p.m. Sat-
urday. A ticket gets all-you-can-eat
food and non-alcoholic drinks. The
food runs the gamut fromhot dogs
and hamburgers to haluski and
baked ziti, all made or donated by
members of the neighborhood.
There will also be a beer tent, chil-
drens games, a bounce house, live
entertainment, dunktank, andChi-
nese auction, among other things.
The Association has one goal
in mind for the money raised.
Wed love to build a pavilion
here and rent it out to people for
all types of social events, Gill
said.
The parkhas plenty of space to
do such a thing. It touts not only
a playground area with both
newer and older equipment, but
tennis and basketball courts and
a soccer field.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I started
dating my boyfriend
a month ago. On
our third date he
informed me that
he was previously
married. It lasted
two years and he has
been divorced for almost a year. It
didnt bother me, so I let it go.
He introduced me to his two room-
mates one of them is female. After
spending a day with them, I noticed
he had an odd relationship with her.
When I asked him about it later, he
said shes his ex-wife. They live to-
gether and share basically everything.
He cant seem to understand why Im
disturbed by this.
He says the decision to divorce was
mutual and that they have both been
seeing other people for a while. I
adore him and hate to end a fantastic
relationship because Im jealous. I
have no life experience to prepare me
to handle this sort of situation, so I
dont know what to do. Help!
Taken Aback in Pittsburgh
Dear Taken Aback: Sometimes when
a person doesnt know what to do, the
best thing to do is nothing. Your
relationship is very new. Stay calm
and see how it develops. If you both
decide to take it to the next level, the
living arrangements may change to
something youre comfortable with.
Dear Abby: My 70-something-year-
old mother is being remarried soon.
Im happy she has found love again
after my fathers passing. Several of
her friends are throwing her a linge-
rie shower to celebrate. Abby, I am
uncomfortable attending this party.
I asked that she exclude me from
the list, but yesterday I received an
invitation. Hooray! She has a new
life which involves new love. I just
dont want to think of my mother in
that role. Am I wrong to not want to
attend?
They Grow Up So Fast
Dear T.G.U.S.F.: Youre not wrong.
While most of us are aware that
we did not arrive via immaculate
conception, few of us want to dwell
on the reality of our parents as sexual
beings. Because you have already told
your mother how you feel, simply re-
spond to the invitation by saying you
are unable to attend.
Dear Abby: I often read letters in
your column you refer to as Pennies
From Heaven. I have something Id
like to share with you.
I believe that I have received such
gifts from my older brother, Shane,
who passed away as an infant. I found
one the other day that cant be ex-
plained away as anything but a penny
from heaven.
As I was about to leave for my
morning commute to work, I went
out to the garage where I keep my
bike, helmet and biking gloves. As I
pulled my glove on, I found you
guessed it! A penny was lodged in
the little finger. I never keep money
where these gloves are, so I can only
guess that shane put it there for me.
Loved Little Sister in
Indiana
Dear Loved Little Sister: The penny
may indeed have been a token of your
angel brothers affection. Keep it for
luck while youre on the road, and
pedal on with confidence knowing
youre being lovingly watched over
from above.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Womans new boyfriend is uncomfortably involved with his old life
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
one who gives you a chance is
giving you a gift. And when you
seize the opportunity and do
your best, its a living, breathing
thank-you note.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Ordinary aspects of your life
seem to shout out for extra
attention. Someday youll be
really glad to look at the pictures
you took today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Foodies
talk about the flavor, texture and
presentation of meals. Youre
more concerned with the nutri-
tional value. Your focus on sub-
stance will lend you luck in more
than one area of life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
prefer pleasant emotions, but
you embrace whatever comes,
knowing that laughter and joy
are as essential to being human
as are frustration and tears.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll be
rewarded for getting things
done, not for getting things done
perfectly. Youll find a balance
as you strive for a good product
without letting every concern
stop you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes you feel like youve
found your tribe, and sometimes
you want to keep looking, believ-
ing that the tribe that found you
is not a perfect fit. Today youll
experience both mindsets.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is
difficult to measure your prog-
ress when your pursuits are as
broad as yours are. The spiritual
aspects of your life are impos-
sible to quantify. For now, be
content with a feeling that all is
well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
know what real love is and what
it is not. Even though grand ges-
tures can come from someone
who really loves you, they are
not proof of love. That comes in
small, specific gestures that only
the two of you understand.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Like it or not, you are strongly
affected by the people you
spend the most time with, and
youll become like them in many
ways. A slight change in your
social lineup will make a big
difference.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There are people who have done
more with less than you have,
and there are other people who
have done less with much more.
Thats why making compari-
sons is useless. Keep your eyes
trained on your own path.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Wanting too much from a loved
one will create unnecessary
drama. The most peaceful rela-
tionships involve expecting a
loved one to be who they are
and to do what they do.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Judging from today, the benefits
of balanced living may be over-
rated. Youll see quick progress
precisely because you focus all
of your energy in one direction.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23).
Different people and settings
will accommodate your need for
excitement. Its as though youve
entered a new world, and youll
deepen your investigation of it
in September. Aries and Cancer
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 7 and 18.
