PITTSTON TWP. Allegiant
Airlines has not added flights at
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Interna-
tional Airport for its fall schedule,
but the airports director said hes
hopeful a flight to Florida cities
Tampa or Ft. Lauderdale will be
considered for next year.
Of course if youbelieve a report
issued this month by a Washing-
ton think tank, there may not be a
next year for commercial flights
at the local airport and105 others
nationwide.
According to an analysis by the
Center for American Progress, as
manyas106U.S. airports -- includ-
ing Wilkes-Barre/Scranton --
could lose air traffic control ser-
vice and effectively be shut down
under automatic spending cuts
scheduled to take effect Jan. 2.
Thats a notion Airport Director
Barry Centini and board Chair-
man Corey D. OBrien scoffed at
after Thursdays meeting of the
airports Bi-County Board.
Still, Centini fearedpublication
of the report could damage air-
ports on the list.
Our concern with something
like this is that it scares people,
Centini said.
He fears potential passengers
might hear about the report and
choose tofly fromanother airport
instead of risking that a flight
might becanceledbecauseof Fed-
eral AviationAdministrationcuts.
While Centini said theres no
way to rule out anything, he has
been given no indication the air-
port would stop commercial
flights next year. He said employ-
ees and contractors that lease
space at the airport also dont
seem concerned. Only one per-
son, an employee at a rental care
company that leases space at the
airport, inquired about the re-
ports impact on her job, Centini
said.
OBrien said he finds it hard to
imagine the FAA would just pull
flight controllers out of more than
100 of the nations airports, espe-
cially after its spent millions up-
grading facilities and security.
The federal agency spent $18 mil-
lion on a new control tower that
will open Aug. 29 at the airport in
Pittston Township, and OBrien
noted, when the new terminal,
parking lot and other upgrades
are considered, for all intents
and purposes we have a new air-
port.
That wouldnot makesensefor
the federal government to walk
away from a fully renovated air-
port that it paid for, OBrien
noted.
Even without commercial
flights, general aviation would
continue.
Gary Stanley, of Montrose, was
dropping off his neighbor for a
flight to Philadelphia Thursday
andsaidheuses theairport when-
ever he flies. He was unaware of
the report but said with all the
talkof budget crunchinggoingon
withinthefederal government, he
wouldnt be surprised if some lev-
el of cuts were made.
Centini said there were other
ways to save money besides com-
pletely shutting down commer-
cial flight operations. He cited
manning the control tower for
fewer than the 24 hours a day its
currently staffed as one option.
But until anofficial wordcomes
from the federal government,
OBrien said airport operations
will not be altered.
I dont think a hypothetical by
a think tank is going tohave a dra-
matic impact on airport oper-
ations, OBrien added.
A FAA spokesman declined
comment on Thursday.

WILKES-BARRE For Joseph
Gocek it comes down to trust.
For Wy Gowell its about taking
care of fellowveterans.
And for both men its why they
support the re-election of Presi-
dent Barack Obama.
They spoke at a brief press con-
ference Thursday at the Obama-
Biden campaign headquarters on
SouthMainStreet onbehalf of the
Democrats and against their pre-
sumptive Republican opponents,
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan
of Wisconsin in the Nov. 6 elec-
tion.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
LeightonandstateRep. EddieDay
Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, joined
themat the15-minute event.
ShouldtheRepublicanswin, en-
titlement programs such as Medi-
care and Social Security and gov-
ernment agencies like the Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs would be
eliminated or drastically trans-
formedtothedetriment of retirees
and veterans, the Democrats said.
Gocek, 71, former district man-
ager of the state Bureau of Blind-
nessandVisual ServicesinWilkes-
Barre, said he has been doing fine
with the help of So-
cial Security and
Medicare. He said
he wouldnt have
felt secure enough
to retire without them.
Romney and Ryan, however,
threaten to take away the peace of
mind the programs provide reti-
rees by not only ending Medicare
and replacing it with a voucher
system, but alsoplacinganannual
financial burdenof $6,350or more
than $500 a month for health in-
surance, Gocek said.
This election is personal. I
cant imaginehavingtopayall that
extra money and what it would be
like to hit retirement without the
support of Medicare, Gocek said.
But when informed a plan pro-
posed by Ryan goes into effect in
2020 and does not affect senior ci-
tizens covered under the current
program, Gocek was skeptical.
That also means you have to
trust what they saidis true. I dont
necessarily trust Mr. Romney or
Ryan. I would trust the president.
If he said it, I believe it, said Go-
cek.
Gowell, 70, a retired Air Force
colonel fromLackawanna County
and former business manager and
assistant director of the Wilkes-
Barre/ScrantonInternational Air-
port, stoodsolidlybehindthepres-
ident who has been ferocious in
his fight to improve the VA sys-
temso many veterans depend on.
Thesystemhas beenbuilt uptobe
able to handle the surge of veter-
ans in the future fromthe wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
A plan to cut the VA budget by
nearly $11 billion would cause
great harm, reducing services and
eliminating approximately 49,000
employees, he added.
We got into this position be-
cause we underfunded the VA
when we started the Iraq war and
we caught people by surprise. We
cant let that happenagain. Wejust
cant let that happen again, Go-
well said.

guilty plea to charges relating
to a robbery was unable to ap-
pear in court Thursday as he is
awaiting surgery on stab
wounds he received in a July 21

Peace Street, was scheduled to
appear before Judge Fred Pie-
rantoni on a charge of robbery
and a firearms-related charge
for his alleged role in an Octo-
ber 2011 armed robbery.
Vegas attorney, Joseph Yeag-
er, said his client was unable to
attend the possible guilty plea
hearing because he was one of
the victims of a stabbing out-
side the Laurel Mall and is
awaiting surgery for wounds he
received.
StatepoliceinWest Hazleton

him in line while he waited for
the store to open and a fight be-
gan. He said he pulled out a
knife andbegantostabthe indi-
viduals, though he did not
know how many he stabbed.
Mejia was charged with four
counts each of aggravated as-
sault with a deadly weapon and
simple assault, and two counts
each of terroristic threats and
recklesslyendangeringanother
person.
After an Aug. 1 preliminary
hearing, Mejia is facing two
counts of aggravated assault in
countycourt. Prosecutors with-
drew other counts. Mejia is
scheduled for a formal arraign-
ment in county court on Oct. 5.

guilty.
Kozloski was originally
scheduled to be formally ar-
raigned on Aug. 24. He will
next be scheduled to appear
before a county judge for a
pre-trial hearing.
According to court papers,

cluding discharge of a firearm,

The state Attorney Generals
Office withdrew charges of

stance, possession of drug
paraphernalia and illegal dump-
ing of methamphetamine waste

from a day care center on Beek-
man Street, Wilkes-Barre. They
were arrested on June 1.
WILKES-BARRE A Plains
Township man charged with

in January was sentenced
Wednesday to one to two years

East Main Street, was sen-
tenced by Judge Lesa Gelb on a
charge of statutory sexual as-
sault. Crosby pleaded guilty to
the charge in June.
Gelb ordered Crosby to have
no contact with the girl or any
other minors and to attend a
sexual offenders treatment
program while in state prison.
Crosby received more than 200
days credit for time already
served.
Crosby initially denied the
girls allegations, but on

crimes.

UNION TWP. The North-
west Area School Board an-
nounced Wednesday the former
Garrison Elementary School
building in Shickshinny has been
placedwitha certifiedauctioneer
for sale to the highest bidder at a
public sale at an unspecified date
in mid-October.
Board President Randy Toma-
sacci saidthat at anexecutiveses-
sion before the regular meeting,
the board entered into a sales
agreement withDustinC. Snyder
of Berwick, an auctioneer who
specializes in the sale of farms,
land, residential and commercial
property.
This action follows several at-
tempts to market the building,
which was vacated two years ago
and, subsequently, was substan-
tially damaged in the flood of
2011. Tomasacci said before the
announcement that because the
building is such a financial liabil-
ity, it was decided to try a public
sale.
Superintendent Ronald Greve-
ra said that most recently the
structure was offered at $175,000
but there was little interest. He
said interest was even lacking
among civic groups, including
the Shickshinny Forward organi-
zation, to take possession of the
former school and refurbish it for
community activities.
The buildingwas erectedorigi-
nally with funding provided by
the late Forest Garrison, an in-
dustrialist who lived in West Vir-
ginia but had roots in Shickshin-
ny. It was once Shickshinny High
School, but more recently was an
elementary school.
Tomasacci said no minimum
asking price has been establish-
ed.
In other business:
Grevera said the 2012-13
school term is set to start Thurs-
day, Sept. 6, and at this point, de-
spite the lack of a contract with
the educational staff, there is no
chance classes will be delayed.
Tomasacci said negotiations are
ongoing with a session that
was set for Thursday but other-
wise he would make no other
comment about negotiations.
The Northwest Area Educa-
tion Association has been with-
out a negotiated pact for at least
two years, but its members have
stayedonthe job under the terms
of a prior collective bargaining
agreement. One of the issues pro-
longing the process is purported
to be the imposition of a co-pay
on premiums for health insur-
ance.
Grevera was appointed as a
trustee to the Northeast Pennsyl-
vania School Health Trust for
2012-13. Director Gerald Conger
will serve an alternate. Earlier
this year, the board acted to leave
the health trust and seek lower
rates with another health insur-
ance provider.
Grevera said Stephenie Rus-
sell, special-education and life-
skills administrator, has obtained
an similar post with the Lacka-
wanna Trail School District and
will be leaving Northwest Area.
Patricia Axtell and Joseph
Zelinski were appointed as head
teachers at the intermediate and
primary schools respectively.
Inadvance of the resumption
of classes, the appointments of
department chairpersons, spring
athletic coaches, substitute
teachers, homebound instruc-
tors, detention monitors and
marching band directors were
unanimously approved.
Former Northwest Area
school to be auctioned
Former Garrison Elementary
will go under the hammer

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.
All baby boomers should be test-
edfor hepatitis Ctohelpavoidse-
rious liver disease and death, the
national Centers for DiseaseCon-
trol and Prevention recommend-
ed Thursday.
The CDC estimates that one
out of 30 people born from 1945
through 1965 those now ages
47 to 67 are infected with the
deadly virus, but most are un-
aware of it.
Many contracted the virus dec-
ades ago when they were in their
teens or 20s through blood trans-
fusions, medical procedures or
getting tattoos before wide-
spreadbloodscreening andother
safeguards were in place, said
CDC Director Thomas Frieden.
Others may have gotten it
through intravenous drug use,
even if they only did it once.
Baby boomers are five times
more likely than other American
adults to be infected with the dis-
ease.
The longer a hepatitis Cinfec-
tion goes undetected, the more
damage it causes, said Dr. John
Ward, director of the CDCs divi-
sion of viral hepatitis.
Hepatitis Cis often called a si-
lent epidemic because people
may have no noticeable symp-
toms for decades.
Yet it canleadtocirrhosis, liver
cancer andother illnesses, health
experts say. Deaths from hepati-
tis C-related illnesses are increas-
ing, reaching more than 15,000
annually.
For these reasons, the CDCan-
nounced Thursday it is recom-
mending all baby boomers re-
ceive a onetime blood test for the
virus. Health leaders anticipate
800,000 new cases will be re-
vealed and more than 120,000
lives will be saved.
Detecting the virus is impor-
tant because newly available
therapies can cure up to 75 per-
cent of infections, the CDC said.
Those who know they are in-
fected can also take steps to pro-
tect themselves by avoiding alco-
hol, which can accelerate liver
disease.
Nationwide, nearly 3.2 million
Americans are infected with the
virus.
In the past, the CDC recom-
mended screening only those
who were deemed at high-risk,
includingpeople whohave inject-
ed illegal drugs, received blood
transfusions or organ transplants
before1992, andthose livingwith
HIV.
But the CDC decided to ex-
pand its recommendations be-
cause many baby boomers may
no longer recall the events that
placed them at risk.
The test is widely available,
Ward said, adding that many in-
surers cover it. He urged baby
boomers to talk to their doctor
about it during their next check-
up.
Boomers advised
to get hepatitis test
Many may have contracted
the disease before widespread
blood tests and screening.

WEST PITTSTON A man
who served five months in jail
and two years probation on
charges he molested two chil-
dren has been arrested on allega-
tions he molested a woman.
Michael Kawalig, 41, of North
Main Street, Pittston, allegedly
shoved his hands down the wom-
ans shorts while giving her a hug
inside a residence on Charles
Street on Monday.
Kawalig was arraigned
Wednesday by District Judge Jo-
seph Carmody in West Pittston
on charges of aggravated inde-
cent assault andindecent assault.
He was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $10,000 bail.
Court records say Kawalig was
sentenced by former Luzerne
County Judge Gifford Cappellini
in April 1999 to six months in jail
and two years probation on
charges of indecent assault, child
endangerment and corruption of
minors. Cappellini paroledKawa-
lig after he served five months in
jail, according to court records.
Those charges filed by Hazle-
ton police accused Kawalig of
molesting two children inside a
house on South Pine Street in
May 1998.
According to the latest crimi-
nal complaint:
A man called his girlfriend on
Monday and told her to expect
Kawalig to stop by her house to
pick up $5 he owed for gasoline.
Kawalig arrived at the house
and began venting about the
boyfriend. Kawalig hugged the
woman and closed a kitchen
door, tellingher, Youneeda man
to take care of you.
The womansaidKawalig shov-
ed his hands under her clothes as
she pushed him away, the com-
plaint says.

uled on Aug. 22 before District

sor Alicia Nordstrom, Ph.D., who

sion will be edited down to 56
minutes, Nordstrom said. WVIA
will air The Voices Project in a
three-month block from Novem-
ber through January.
I read some of the scripts; it is
very moving, said Chris Norton,

This is a wonderful collection of
stories which are not told
enough,
Norton said WVIA, which
serves more than 20 counties, is
delighted to take this programto
a larger audience.
The reading will be changed
only slightly from the April per-
formance, Nordstromsaid.
The second scene has been

Writer believes Scouts
must exclude gay leaders
M
r. Matthew Kerns, Im sure, has every
intention of being a model citizen in
returning his Eagle Scout medal to
the Boy Scouts of America, but he is either
nave in the extreme or just plain foolish.
Does he think that the Boy Scouts wants
another situation like what is happening
with Penn State? Former assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky is a sexual predator
who used his position as an authority
figure to use young boys to gratify his
homosexual tendencies.
Organizations that put men into posi-
tions of authority over young impression-
able boys must be ever-vigilant or they, like
Penn State, will pay the price of lawsuits
and public disgrace. Putting admitted
homosexuals in charge of impressionable
young boys is tantamount to aiding and
abetting sexual deviants.
It sounds like Mr. Kerns had a great
experience in the Boy Scouts. He has nev-
er had to deal with the shame and self-
loathing a young boy has to deal with
when taken advantage of by a sexual preda-
tor. I am happy for him, but for him to say
it is OK for homosexuals to be knowingly
placed in positions of authority over im-
pressionable boys is lunacy. Maybe he
better return his badge for crime preven-
tion, too.

Reader says the right
building hatred for Obama
F
rom the start, the right hated Obama.
It seemed unreasonably intense and
not related to any specific thing. This
perplexed me for awhile.
Now it all seems to make sense.
It is analogous to Hitlers method of
picking on the Jews as scapegoats for all of
Germanys problems in order to generate
emotional hatred as a way of consolidating
and motivating his base of support. In the
same way, the conservatives are using
generated emotional hatred of Obama to
make him a scapegoat for all of Americas
problems and to excite and motivate their
base. This also is why there have been no
limits to the conservatives outrageous,
creative fact generation.
I believe the left needs to change its
attitude and its actions. It is like the left is
playing softball and the right is playing
hardball; it is not an equal game, nor are
the rules the same. The left should instead
focus on what the right is actually doing
and call them out on all outrageous behav-
ior. The right should not be underestimat-
ed. The right will stoop to whatever under-
handed measure is needed to win.
The slogan for America should be this:
Save America from elected conserva-
tives.

Scranton
A difference of opinion
should be backed by facts
I
n his letter to the editor titled Real
Democrats should reject Obama and
Casey (July 21), Mr. William Levinson
did get a couple of things right.
For one, he admits that, yes, carbon
dioxide is a gas. While he correctly points
at carbon particulates, such as the soot
from diesel engines, as requiring regu-
lation, he goes on to dismiss carbon diox-
ide as a benign gas, something we feed
plants every time we exhale, inferring that
it is totally harmless.
He is only fooling himself and the de-
niers of global warming. Carbon dioxide is
the main culprit in the saga of the de-
struction of the Earth we know and love,
though methane (natural gas, the darling
of fracking) is a quickly rising star. This is
not science fiction; it is scientific fact ac-
cepted by most of the worlds scientists.
The deniers are a motley crew, for the
most part, of petro-financed ostriches and
ordinary people such as you and me who
dont know the scientific facts and are too
busy just trying to make a living.
He also says that cap and trade is just a
scam by President Obama to enrich Wall
Street. I do believe that cap and trade is
next to useless; James Hansen has a more
practical plan, but no one wants to listen.
Thats too bad, since your children and
grandchildrens lives will be much worse
than ours is now.
Climate change is being caused by us; if
we dont stop it, then 30 years or so from
now we will have a real hell on Earth. It
will be our fault for being stupid and lis-
tening to the likes of Exxon Mobile and
William Levinson.
He also blasts Obama for taking so
much money from Wall Street during the
2008 campaign. But wait! Theres more. I
did what Levinson said: Follow the money.
According to Opensecrets.org, in the cur-
rent presidential brawl, Obama has re-
ceived far less from Wall Street than has
Mitt Romney. Could it be that Obamas
attempts to rein in finance scared a lot of
that money away? Obama wants to regu-
late Wall Street more; Romney and Levin-
son want to drop the regulations now on
the books.
Why is that, Mr. Levinson? Could it be
the foxes want easier access to the hen-
house?
Levinson just doesnt like Obama. Thats
all right. We all have differences of opinion
and beliefs. But we should not make up
facts to support our views.
As far as Im concerned, Obama has
been a disappointment, and I feel differ-
ently than he about certain issues. But
Obama, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and congres-
sional candidate Matt Cartwright are my
choices this election, because they are
closer in spirit, if nothing else, to the mid-
dle class and the working person.

S.W.E.A.T. gym member
sings praises of business
I
was diagnosed four years ago with
breast cancer. I have had many ups and
downs, physically and emotionally, espe-
cially physically. When my doctor gave me
approval to start working out again, I vis-
ited many gyms. I almost gave up when
my sister introduced me to a place called
S.W.E.A.T.
This was a little studio with a teacher
and owner named Jessica Sands. She em-
powered me, encouraged me, gave me
strength.
I started at S.W.E.A.T. more than a year
ago, being 47 pounds heavier and being
told by my doctor that I was borderline
from being put on other medicines for
other health issues.
Today because of S.W.E.A.T and its crew
and clients, I am healthier, stronger than
ever in my life of 47 years.
S.W.E.A.T. is only a small studio with
one room that might hold 60 people, with
mats, balls and free weights and nothing
more. S.W.E.A.T cares about its clients, its
community and its neighbors showing it
in its actions as a small business.
A bigger gym apparently is trying to
shut down S.W.E.A.T. Shame on it.
Our community needs businesses that
care about the people, care to make them
healthy, strong and feel good about them-
selves.
That is what good businesses care
about: the people first, not the money.

RASH, BOOM, bang!
Those are the sounds
when more-or-less ce-
lebrities such as actor
DeanCainandSarahPalinshus-
band, Todd, are put on teams
with trained military personnel
to perform on the new TV real-
ity series Stars Earn Stripes.
You see the teams shooting
automatic rifles, blowing up
shacks and doing whatever else
they can think of to supply the
noise and visuals they hope
watchers will equate with sus-
pense.
The new NBC show, hosted
by retired four-star Gen. Wesley
Clark, pays homage to the men
and women who serve in the
U.S. Armed Forces and our first-
line responder services. At
least, thats its promotional line.
But nine Nobel Peace Prize
laureates have written an open
letter to NBC Entertainment
askingit toreconsider airingthe
program.
Pretending that war and mil-
itary training is comparable to
athletic competition, or any oth-
er violence-based reality show,
is an affront to us all and espe-
cially those who experience war
and its horrific impact, said Jo-
dy Williams, who received her
Nobel in 1997 for her work to
ban land mines.
The Peace Prize winners
make a validpoint. This country
needs to carefully consider how
seemingly innocuous violence
depicted in the media impacts
this countrys loathsome homi-
cide rate.
Real war has casualties. Peo-
ple die. There are no commer-
cial breaks, and the participants
dont stop shooting to wipe off
sweat and have a Gatorade.

W
ITH FEWER than
20 words, the
Wilkes-Barre Area
School Boards
members can start to repair the
dreadfully poor reputation of
this corruption-tainted, dis-
trusted and downtrodden dis-
trict.
No family member of a
school director shall be permit-
tedtoobtainfull-time
employment withthe
district.
Insert these words
into the boards soon-
to-be-approved hir-
ing policy.
No loopholes. No
exceptions.
Just a plain, decla-
rative and decades-
overdue end to nepo-
tismhistoricallythe
single most shameful
aspect of the way certain board
members in this district have
behaved. For the sakes of the
school system and its students,
closethecoffinonthis outdated
practice. And nail it shut.
To do otherwise is to thumb
your nose at Luzerne Countys
manyreform-mindedresidents,
thereby ensuring that the dis-
trict will face even more skepti-
cism, more public humiliation
and potentially more investiga-
tions.
Howmany times must feder-
al agents subpoena school dis-
trict documents, as they did at
Wednesday nights board meet-
ing, before a majority of current
board members admit that rad-
ical change is required to busi-
ness-as-usual protocols?
Clinging to the belief that its
OK to hire a family member to
fill a taxpayer-funded position
makes you seemdaft or woeful-
ly behind the times, like some-
one arguing the Earth is flat.
Get with it. This newspaper for
years andyears has decriednep-
otism, suggesting its a breach
of ethical standards and a ba-
rometer of bad decision-mak-
ing on the part of
public servants.
Then, in early
2009, area resi-
dents learned Wil-
liam Sharkey, the
Luzerne County
court administra-
tor whopractically
stacked the cour-
thouse payroll
with his kin, had
used his post to
steal tens of thou-
sands of dollars.
Nepotismitself isnt criminal
(yet). But it creates a poor im-
age for an institution and can
damage the work environment.
If daddy, for instance, sits on
the school board and hires his
daughter, will her supervisor
feel comfortable giving her a
bad performance review? Not
likely.
For those, and many other,
reasons, its important that
Wilkes-Barre Area school direc-
tors finally ban nepotism. If
they are not up to the task, or
insist a family member should
not bedenied theopportunity
to work there, they can solve
the dilemma at the next board
meeting by uttering only two
words. I quit.
OUR OPINION: W-B AREA HIRINGS
Make it official:
No more nepotism
Clinging to the
belief that its OK
to hire a family
member to fill a
taxpayer-funded
position makes you
seem daft or

compared to $400 to $500 else-
whereinthemunicipality, Coop-
er said.
Its not justified to be paying
these high rates, said Cooper, a
municipal councilwoman.
Premiumflood insurance
West Walnut Street property
owners Peter and Ellen Ritte-
man said their most recent an-
nual flood insurance premium
was $2,872. They dont have a
mortgage, but say theyd be un-
easy going without coverage.
You have to have it, Peter
Ritteman said.
His wife said the current cost
is through the roof.
Its a very foolish premium,
she said.
Cooper said the neighbor-
hood was labeled high-risk with
theargument it couldbeflooded
by Toby Creek.
However, a giant impounding
basin off Division Street in Prin-
gle holds anddiverts water from
the Back Mountain in the Toby
Creek watershed so Pringle and
Kingstonarent flooded, officials
said.
Rising water in the basin is
gravity-forcedintoa massive un-
derground pipe to a pumping
stationinEdwardsville, where it
is thendumpedinto the Susque-
hanna River.
Cooper saidshe unsuccessful-
ly urged legislators to redo the
maps for years but didnt see re-
sults until the federal govern-
ment allocated$1billionin2003
tocomputerizeandupdateflood
maps across the country.
Paul Keating said municipal
officials have tried to get the
Kingston neighborhood out of
the high-risk zone since he be-
came municipal administrator
16 years ago because its tripled
insurance rates werent warrant-
ed.
As far as were concerned, its
beenalongtimecoming, andits
finallyhappening,Keatingsaid.
The neighborhood is the low-
est spot in town, he said. The ar-
ea once had minor basement
flooding since hes been admin-
istrator, but that was due to a
malfunctioning pumping sys-
temthat had nothing to do with
the impounding basin, Keating
said.
Newpumps coming
The municipality is spending
more than $100,000 to install
three newpumps at the Mercer-
Poplar pumping station, which
will mitigate street flooding in
that neighborhood, Keating
said. The new pumps should be
installed within two months, he
said.
Wefeel thesystemwehavein
place as well as all the improve-
ments were making are surely
sufficient to eradicate any drain-
age issues in that zone, he said.
Cooper said two of her chil-
dren own properties in the
neighborhood.
She believes the high-risk
flood designation has hurt prop-
erty sales.
The new maps were unveiled
in 2009 and originally slated for
adoption in 2011.
Neighborhood residents felt
powerless because delays pre-
vented them from realizing re-
ductions promised in the up-
coming maps, Cooper said.
My frustration is that its
three years later, and were still
paying the higher rates, she
said.

indicating when reassessments
are warranted.
Past county officials said the li-
ons share of the next reassess-
ment could be handled by county
employees, as opposed to an out-
side company, to save costs.
McGinley said officials must
figure out whats involved in a
project of that magnitude so they
can factor in enough preparation
time and funding.
This should be monitored on
an ongoing basis, McGinley
said.
Erie County, a similarly sized
third-class home rule county, is
nearing completion of a mostly
in-house assessment that will
cost between $2.5 million and $3
million, said the countys Assess-
ment Bureau Director Scott
Maas.
Erie County, which has
123,000 parcels compared to Lu-
zerne Countys 168,000, last reas-
sessed properties in 2003, after a
revaluation in 1969. Eries new
values take effect Jan. 1.
The county hired an outside
company Tyler Technologies,
formerly Cole Layer Trumble Co.
to help prepare computerized
modeling formulas to estimate
new values, Maas said.
The rest of the work photo-
graphing and visiting properties,
compiling data sent to all proper-
tyowners, processingphonecalls
and 16,700 informal reviews
was handled by employees, he
said.
I have a very tired staff here
right now, he said. It was ex-
tremely challenging.
The county also spent about
$175,000 on a fresh flyover and
computer program that high-
lights structures built or enlarged
since completion of the previous
aerial data collection, he said.
Ensuring accuracy
The investment paid off be-
cause it identified 29,000 proper-
ties with changes that had to be
checked to make sure no struc-
tures or add-ons were missed, he
said.
Erie County also subscribes to
Realtor databases of property
listings to ensure its assessment
property descriptions such as
the number of bedrooms and
bathrooms are accurate, he
said.
The county ended up with
3,300 formal appeals, or 2.6 per-
cent, he said. He believes the low-
er-than-expected appeal count
stems largely from the informal
review process, when property
description corrections and oth-
er changes were made on many
parcels.
Erie Countys assessors office
employs 21, including mapping
workers and excluding appeal
board members, he said.
In comparison, Luzerne Coun-
ty has 24 employees when the
mapping and assessors offices
are combined and the three part-
time appeal board members
arent included, newly released
records show.
Maas advises Luzerne County
to plan in advance.
We started working on this
about five years ago. It was a
learningexperiencefor us, Maas
said.
REASSESS
Continued from Page 1A
Others adversely affected
But the Midwest drought
could result in hardships for oth-
er local farmers.
While those that raise only
grain are expected to do well,
Chapin said dairy farmers and
livestock producers could face
challenges because of the higher
feed prices resulting fromthe an-
ticipated corn shortage.
Chapin will feel the effect as he
said it will cost him more to feed
the steers he raises on his farm.
Pennsylvania is the fifth largest
dairy state in the country, and
ONeill saidmany of those farmers
useall their cornfor feedandwont
haveanytosell. For thosewhobuy
feed, things could get tough, he
said.
This could be an extremely dif-
ficult time for them. Weve heard
that the price of feed has already
gone up, ONeill said.
Actually, it has skyrocketed, said
Tom Nauman, a nutritionist with
Hoober Feeds in Lancaster Coun-
ty.
Nauman develops feed pro-
grams for dairyandbeef farmers in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, and
he said the Midwest drought is
havinga tremendous impact onar-
ea farmers.
Corn used for feed has risen 30
percent, he said, and proteins,
such as soybean meal, are up 45
percent.
Withmilkprices hoveringinthe
$16 to $17 per hundredweight
range far below the break-even
point of $20 Nauman said many
farmers are considering calling it
quits.
Its one of the main topics of
conversation. Why put that high-
priced corn into cows with low
milk prices? he said. A lot of
farmers will take a long-term look
at things andsee if they canweath-
er this out, but they either need
help or a huge jump in the milk
price over the next few months or
theyll get out.
Corn-deficit NEPA
Although the local corn crop is
fine, feed prices are influenced by
the drought because Northeastern
Pennsylvania is a corn-deficit ar-
ea, Nauman said.
We have a lot more animals in
this area than we can grow corn
for, so we import a tremendous
amount from the Midwest, he
said.
Along with high feed costs, the
Midwest drought will drive down
the price local beef producers get
for their animals. ONeill said
many Midwest farmers will have
to sell their stock this year, and
that glut in the market will cause
prices to fall.
Chapin said the beef price paid
to farmers has already dropped by
15 cents per pound, but he doesnt
expect it to last.
Eventually that will come back
up when that glut of cows works
through. It will probablytakesixor
nine months, Chapin said.
For now, area farmers are taking
a wait-and-see approach, including
those who raise grain, such as
Burger. The price for cornmay be
good now, but theres no way to
tell if that will be true next
spring.
When the price of corn goes
up, so do all of your input costs
fertilizer, seed and spray, Burger
said. The last time corn went up
like this, I lost moneybecause the
next year fertilizer went from
$350 a ton to $750, and spray tri-
pled in price. When it jumps this
fast, I dont thinkits goodfor any-
body.
FARMERS
Continued from Page 1A
and in Texas, Arkansas and Loui-
siana has caused the wholesale
price of natural gas to plummet
from$7 or $8 per unit to about $3
over the past four years, making
it cheaper to burn than coal for a
given amount of energy pro-
duced. As a result, utilities are re-
lying more than ever on gas-fired
generating plants.
Both government and industry
experts said the biggest surprise
is how quickly the electric indus-
try turned away from coal. In
2005, coal was used to produce
about half of all the electricity
generated in the U.S. The Energy
Information Agency said that fell
to 34 percent in March, the low-
est level sinceit begankeepingre-
cords nearly 40 years ago.
The question is whether the
shift is just one bright spot in a
big, gloomy picture, or a poten-
tially larger trend.
Coal and energy use are still
growing rapidly in other coun-
tries, particularly China, and
CO2levels globallyarerising, not
falling. Moreover, changes in the
marketplace a boom in the
economy, a fall in coal prices, a
rise in natural gas could stall
or even reverse the shift. For ex-
ample, U.S. emissions fell in2008
and 2009, then rose in 2010 be-
fore falling again last year.
Also, while natural gas burns
cleaner than coal, it still emits
some CO2. And drilling has its
own environmental consequenc-
es, which are not yet fully under-
stood.
Natural gas is not a long-term
solution to the CO2 problem,
Pielke warned.
The International Energy
Agency said the U.S. has cut car-
bon dioxide emissions more than
any other country over the last
six years. Total U.S. carbon emis-
sions from energy consumption
peaked at about 6 billion metric
tons in 2007. Projections for this
year are around 5.2 billion, and
the 1990 figure was about 5 bil-
lion.
Chinas emissions were esti-
mated to be about 9 billion tons
in 2011, accounting for about 29
percent of the global total. The
U.S. accountedfor approximately
16 percent.
Mann called it ironic that the
shift from coal to gas has helped
bring the U.S. closer to meeting
some of the greenhouse gas tar-
gets in the 1997 Kyoto treaty on
global warming, which the Unit-
ed States never ratified. On the
other hand, leaks of methane
from natural gas wells could be
pushing the U.S. over the Kyoto
target for that gas.
Even with such questions, pub-
lic health experts welcome the
shift, sinceit is reducingair pollu-
tion.
The trend is good. We like it.
We are pleasedthat were shifting
away from one of the dirtiest
sources to one thats much clean-
er, said Janice Nolen, an Amer-
ican Lung Association spokeswo-
man. Its been a real surprise to
see this kindof shift. We certainly
didnt predict it.
Power plants that burn coal
produce more than 90 times as
muchsulfur dioxide, five times as
muchnitrogenoxideandtwiceas
much carbon dioxide as those
that runonnatural gas, according
to the Government Accountabil-
ity Office, the investigative arm
of Congress. Sulfur dioxide caus-
es acid rain and nitrogen oxides
lead to smog.
Last year the Environmental
Protection Agency issued its first
rules to limit CO2 emissions
from power plants, but the stan-
dards dont take effect until 2014
and 2015. Experts had predicted
that the rules might reduce emis-
sions over the longterm, but they
didnt expect so many utilities to
shift to gas so early. And they
think price was the reason.
A lot of our units are running
much more gas than they ever
have in the past, said Melissa
McHenry, a spokeswoman for
Ohio-based American Electric
Power Co. It really is a reflection
of whats happened with shale
gas.
In the near term, all that
youre going to build is a natural
gas plant, she said. Still, she
warned: Natural gas has beenve-
ry volatile historically. Whether
shale gas has really changed that
the jury is still out. I dont
think we know yet.
Jason Hayes, a spokesman for
the American Coal Council,
based in Washington, predicted
cheap gas wont last.
Coal is going to be here for a
long time. Even if we decide
not to use it, everybody else
wants it, he said. Hayes also said
the industry expects new coal-
fired power plants will be built as
pollution-control technology ad-
vances.
The boom in gas production
has come about largely because
of hydraulic fracturing, or frack-
ing. Large volumes of water, plus
sand and chemicals, are injected
to break shale rock apart and free
the gas.
Environmentalists say the
fluids can pollute underground
drinking water supplies and me-
thane leaks from drilling cause
serious air pollutionandalsocon-
tribute to global warming. The
industry and many government
officials say the practice is safe
when done properly. But there
have been cases in which faulty
wells did pollute water, and there
is little reliable data about the
scale of methane leakage.

members landing jobs or promo-
tions. Wendolowski flatly denies
any deal.
On Thursday Kadluboski said
he believes the fact that agents are
looking into Quinn Jr.s employ-
ment record, and that they sat
through Wednesdays meeting,
bolsters his allegation. Im glad
someone is taking action to stop
this, he said.
Namey said after the meeting
that hehadnoideawhytheagents
stayed, andbrieflyspeculatedthat
it could be because they thought
the board was going to hire Quinn
Jr. or other relatives of board
members.
But Quinn Jr. was not on the
agenda for a vote. Nor were Sandy
Elmy, wife of Board Member
Louis Elmy, or Claire Corcoran,
wife of Board Member Robert
Corcoran, both currently employ-
ed part-time by the district. The
agendaswereprintedandpublicly
availablebeforetheSecret Service
agents arrived.
During the public comment
section at Wednesdays meeting,
Kadluboski criticized the board
for contemplating the hiring of
more relatives, saying they would
be lower than sewer rats if they
did. At that point, the only rela-
tives ontheagendafor avotewere
Dino Galella Jr., as a summer
school teacher, and Christa Galel-
la as a junior high school athletic
director.
Both have worked for the dis-
trict for several years as teachers,
and both were approved by the
board for those additional posi-
tions during the meeting, with
boardmember DinoGalellaSr. ab-
staining. .
Christa Galella was technically
reinstated to a position she held
before the board eliminated sev-
enth- and eighth-grade sports last
year. The board voted to bring
those programs back, and on
Thursday Toole said they were re-
quired by the teachers contract to
reinstate Christa Galella if she
wanted the job.
Toole said Wednesday that
Quinn Jr. was not on the agenda
for a possible job because there
was no secondary math position
available. Oneteacherhasgoneon
leave, but the district filled the
need by rescheduling, she said.
Asked if the board had consid-
ered promotions for Sandy Elmy
or Claire Corcoran, Toole said she
had left an executive session held
Monday before personnel deci-
sions werebrought up, but shedid
not recall any mention of the two
in paperwork at the meeting.
Namey and several board mem-
bers didnot returncalls Thursday.

Soit wont exactlybe the Patri-
ots taking the field at Beaver Sta-
dium in two weeks. But thats to
be expected.
The question is, how much
will Bill OBriens first Penn
State team try
to be like New
England?
Make no
mistake the
offense is
based on the
Patriots suc-
cessful scheme
that OBrien helped evolve as a
coordinator and play-caller last
season. But OBrien knows the
Nittany Lions will have to be
adapt to their personnel.
Its something they likely
wont have a full handle on until
after the season begins. Speak-
ing Thursday on a mid-presea-
son camp teleconference un-
heard of under the old regime
OBrien said hes still learning
the strengths of his offense.
I dont really have a feel for
that yet, OBrien said. I think
that any good offensive teamhas
to be able to run the football
when it has to absolutely gain
yards. We have to be able to run
the football. I think we have tobe
really good in situational terms:
third down, red area, two-min-
ute.
Weve had a lot of work on
that, about halfway through
camp here. Its been pretty de-
cent hasnt been all pretty but
I think weve made progress. I
think were still working on the
identity of what the offense will
be. Hopefully well have a better
grasp of that over the next
week.
A case in point would be the
tight end position. With the in-
stallation of the new offense, the
positionfigures tobe muchmore
involved in the passing game
compared to past years at Penn
State.
But it doesnt mean the tight
ends will necessarily become a
focal point of the attack as it did
last season in New England.
I know a lots been made of

NEW YORK Less than three weeks be-
foretheseasonkicks off, theNFLandtheNFL
Referees Association are no closer to an
agreement to end the lockout of the officials.
As replacement officials work preseason
games andgenerally get criticizedfor their
performances the league and officials
Thursday disputed such issues as full-time
employees and adding officiating crews.
On Sept. 5, the Cowboys visit the Giants to
open the season. Not since 2001 has the NFL
playedgames that count inthestandings with
replacement officials, and that was for one
week. This lockout began June 3.
The NFL is offering to add three full offi-
ciating crews, increasing the total number of
officials to140. League spokesman Greg Aiel-
lo said this would reduce stress on the offi-
cials by allowing each official to work fewer
games, would reduce travel, would allow us
to do more intensive training, integrate
younger officials more effectively, increase di-
versity, and improve quality of officiating.
The union flatly opposes this proposal ...
Aiello added.
But the NFLRA insists the compensation

Texas took a 2-0 lead into the sixth
before bothteams broke loose withthe
bats. It was a seesaw from then on,
with the Yankees rallying for a 5-4 lead
before the Rangers came back with
three in the seventh.
David Murphy hit a tying RBI dou-
ble off Boone Logan (4-1) and, after an
intentional walk that loaded the bases,
the speedy Gentry lined a tiebreaking
single upthe middle off Joba Chamber-
lain.
The Yankees closed to 7-6 in the bot-
tomhalf on Mark Teixeiras RBI groun-
der. Reliever Michael Kirkman struck
out AndruwJones, whod homered the
previous inning, with runners at the
corners to prevent further damage.
Beltre added a sacrifice fly and Geo-
vany Soto hit an RBI single in the
eighth off an ineffective Chamberlain.
Down 4-0, the Yankees once again
picked on Derek Holland while rallying for five runs in
NEWYORKCraig Gentry turned
a spot start into a tiebreaking hit and
theTexas Rangers avoidedafour-game
sweep in a matchup of AL division
leaders, rallying past the New York
Yankees 10-6 Thursday.
Texas had lost eight straight at Yan-
kee Stadium overall. The hard-hitting
Rangers had done little in this series,
too, totaling only four runs before the
finale.
Gentry started for the first time in
two weeks, and his two-out, two-run
single in the seventh inning put the
Rangers ahead 7-5. Adrian Beltre also
had three RBIs while Josh Hamilton
doubled twice and scored three times.
Taking no chances, Texas manager
Ron Washington summoned closer
Joe Nathan for the first time in more
than a week to finish it out in a non-save situation.
Ichiro Suzuki got three hits for the Yankees, who had
won seven of eight.

It was a successful season under two head
coaches.

PITTSBURGH Garrett
Jones hit two three-run
homers, A.J. Burnett became
the first Pirates pitcher with
15 wins in 13 years, and Pitts-
burgh avoided a four-game
sweep with a 10-6 victory
over the Los Angeles Dodgers
on Thursday.
Jones had a career-high six
RBIs, and Pedro Alvarez also
homered for the Pirates, who
had lost six of seven.
The Dodgers, who lead the
NL West by a half-game over
San Francisco, had a four-
game winning streak snapped.
James Loney and Hanley
Ramirez homered for Los
Angeles.
Dodgers slugger Matt
Kemp and manager Don Mat-
tingly were ejected during the
top of the second inning,
setting off a lengthy argu-
ment that was mostly direct-
ed at home plate umpire
Angel Campos. Los Angeles
starter Joe Blanton later ran
toward Campos as he was
walking off the field after
being removed following Al-
varezs homer. Ramirez also
drew Campos ire for throw-
ing his bat down in disgust
after striking out in the sixth.
Mets 8, Reds 4
CINCINNATI Rookie
Matt Harvey drove in one
more run than he allowed in
the longest outing of his
short major league career,
and the New York Mets
snapped the Cincinnati Reds
five-game winning streak with
a victory.
Harvey (2-3), who had lost
three straight starts after
winning in his major league
debut, allowed one run and
four hits in 7 2-3 innings. He
struck out eight, walked one
and hit a batter. Harvey also
doubled in two runs in New
Yorks three-run fourth inning.
Ike Davis and Jason Bay
hit solo home runs for the
Mets, who capitalized on
three errors and avoided a
three-game sweep. New York
hasnt been swept in Cincin-
nati since 2005. The Reds,
who entered with a season-
high, seven-game lead in the
NL Central, had it cut to six
over Pittsburgh.
Braves 6, Padres 0
ATLANTA Chipper
Jones homered twice and the
Atlanta Braves won their 15th
consecutive game with Kris
Medlen as a starter, beating
the San Diego Padres.
Jones, who is retiring after
the season, hit a two-run
homer in the first, then add-
ed a towering solo shot over
the wall in center in the fifth.
It was his first multihomer
game in more than three
years and raised his team-
leading average to .314. He
came out of the dugout for a
curtain call after both drives,
the second of which was his
2,700th career hit.
Jason Heyward also home-
red.
Atlanta hasnt lost with
Medlen starting since May
2010, tying the franchise re-
cord set by John Smoltz in
1996. The five-hitter was his
first complete game. Jason
Marquis (6-7) took the loss.

earn his 11th win, Dustin Pe-
droia singled in the tiebreaking
run in the sixth inning and the
Boston Red Sox beat the Balti-
more Orioles 6-3 Thursday
night to avoid a three-game
sweep.
Adrian Gonzalez had two
RBIs and Cody Ross chipped in
with three hits to help Boston
to its third win in nine games.
Serving as designated hitter for
the first time this season, Jaco-
by Ellsbury went 0 for 4 to end
his 38-game hitting streak
against Baltimore.
After giving up three runs
and six hits over the first two
innings, Buchholz (11-3) kept
the Orioles at bay while the
Red Sox rebounded froma 3-1
deficit. The right-hander ended
up allowing three runs, eight
hits and three walks over eight
innings.
White Sox 7, Blue Jays 2
TORONTOAlex Rios hit
a three-run homer against his
former teamand Francisco
Liriano earned his first victory
with the Chicago White Sox,
over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Tyler Flowers, Dayan Vicie-
do, Alexei Ramirez and De-
wayne Wise all hit solo home
runs as the White Sox matched
a season high by going deep
five times. Chicago has hit 27
home runs in its past 13 games.
The power surge helped Chica-
go win its first series in Toronto
since 2006.
Athletics 3, Royals 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Coco
Crisp and Yoenis Cespedes
homered, and Dan Straily
picked up his first major league
victory as the Oakland Athlet-
ics beat the Kansas City Royals.
Crisp, who played for the
Royals in 2009, was 2 for 27 this
season against Kansas City
before the home run.
Crisp drilled a 2-0 pitch from
Luke Hochevar deep to right.
The ball hit high off a green
wall beyond the fence and
caromed back onto the field. It
was first ruled a double, but
manager Bob Melvin disputed
that. After the umpires viewed
replays, it was changed to a
home run.

the sixth.
Batting cleanup for the first
time this season, Jones tied it
with a two-out, two-run homer
that umpires confirmed on video
review. Texas third baseman
Beltre pointed foul the whole
time Jones rounded the bases,
but the replay showed the ball
clearly landed several feet inside
the left-field foul pole.
Rookie right fielder Mike Olt
then dropped Casey McGehees
fly for a two-base error and Rus-
sell Martin met reliever Tanner
Scheppers with a go-ahead sin-
gle.
Holland began the afternoon
0-5 with a 9.26 ERA against the
Yankees in regular-season play,
though he has beaten them in re-
lief during the playoffs.
Scheppers (1-0) won his first
big league decision.
The no-decision left Ivan Nova
with just one win in his last seven
starts. In trouble early, he struck
out Hamilton on three pitches
withthebases loadedandnoouts
in the third and escaped that jam
without allowing a run.

PAWTUCKET Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre looked as if its one
game lead in the International
League North was going to evap-
orate into a tie atop the division
with the Pawtucket Red Sox.
The PawSox took a 4-2 lead in-
to the bottom of the eighth in-
ning before three unearned runs
gave the Yankees a 5-4 come from
behind win and a two-game divi-
sion lead.
For the fourth consecutive
game, Pawtucket jumped out to
an early lead. Tony Thomas drew
a one-out walk off of Yankees
starter Justin Thomas, stole sec-
ondbase andcame home toscore
on a two-out single to center by
Dan Butler, giving the Paw Sox a
1-0 lead in the second inning.
The Yankees had an answer for
the Red Sox in the home half of
the frame.
Melky Mesa hammered his
third homer of the season, a solo
shot off Pawtucket starter Tony
Pena Jr. that tied the game at 1-1
in the bottom of the second.
The Paw Sox broke the tie off
Thomas and the Yankees in the
top of the thirdandthenaddedto
the lead in the top of the fifth in-
ning with two more runs. Tho-
mas had not allowed a home run
in 47 2/3 innings of pitching be-
fore giving up a one-out homer to
J.C. Linares to left field to break
the 1-1 tie.
In the fifth, Andy LaRoche
struck again. His third homer of
the series (grand slam on Tues-
day, three-run home run on
Wednesday), a two-run shot with
two out in the fifth, extended the
Red Sox lead to 4-1.
Thomas pitched a season high
five innings on the night, allow-
ing four runs on seven hits. The
left-hander walked two and
struckout six, throwinga season-
high 85 pitches. Pena was done
after walking back to back hitters
with two outs in the bottom of
the fourth inning. He allowed
three hits and gave up one run
with four walks and three strike-
outs.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
comeback began with a single
runinthe sixthinningoff reliever
Alex Wilson. Brandon Laird dou-
bled into the right field corner
and scored the Yankees second
run of the night on Austin Ro-
mines single to center.
SWBpickedupthreeinthebot-
tomof the seventhandgot a lot of
help fromPawtucket to grab a 5-4
lead.
Daniel Bard entered the game
and walked Chris Dickerson to
lead off the inning. Corban Jo-
sephs comebacker was thrownin
the dirt at secondby Bardandthe
error cost Pawtucket the first out
of the inning. After Dickerson
was caught in a rundown off sec-
ond and Eduardo Nunez fouled
out to the catcher, it looked as if
the rally was going to end.
The inning was extended
whenBardhit Lairdinthehelmet
with a pitched ball and walked
Rominetoloadthebases. Darnell
McDonalds grounder was kicked
by Jose Iglesias, scoring a run to
make it 4-3. Mesa added to his
RBI total with a single to center,
scoring pinch runner Kevin Rus-
so and Romine for a 5-4 lead after
seven innings.
Chase Whitley picked up his
ninth win of the season with two
scoreless innings in relief of Tho-
mas.

Allison Kern, a native of Day-
ton, Ohio, has been around bas-
ketball her entirelife. Shewas the
choicetomaintainthelevel of suc-
cess Misericordia has achieved.
My dad worked as an official
anda coach, andwhenI got older,
I went to all of his games, Kern
said. Basketball is a big part of
my life and its always been a big
part of my life.
Kern was a former standout
player at Chaminade-Julienne
High School, where she led the
teamtotheNo.1staterankingher
junior year anda state title her se-
nior year.
She attended John Carroll Uni-
versity, wheresheearnedabache-
lors degree in political science
and was a four-year letter winner
for the womens basketball pro-
gram. She was namedteamoffen-
sive MVPher senior year.
After she graduated college in
2007, Kernwasanassistant coach
for one season at Hiram (Ohio)
College. After that, she became
an assistant coach for William
SmithCollegeinGeneva, N.Y., for
four seasons.
I was at a point in my career
where I was ready to look for a
head coaching job, Kern said.
Lucky for me WilliamSmith is a
great place with a great situation
andI was able to findthe right fit.
A couple of coaches talked about
Misericordia and how great it
was.
The second I stepped onto
campusI knewit wasagreat fit for
me. The community and the sup-
port have beenfantastic.
With the school year about to
begin, anda fewmore months be-
fore winter season workouts be-
gin, Kern said shes been doing
the best she can to keep in touch
with her players. She said shes
met some in person and others
shes been keeping in touch with
throughphone calls ande-mails.
With a new head coach for the
first time in eight seasons, some
may wonder what they will see
out of Kern. She says they will get
her best becauseshes doingwhat
she loves doing.
Im a workaholic because Im
in a job that enables a workahol-
ic, Kern said. College coaching
requireswork, andI lovewhat I do
and I love everything about it. I
love being around the players, in
theoffice, andtheyregoingtoget
as muchof meas theywant. Ill al-
ways be doing something to help
the program.
Coming off of three straight
winning seasons and a Freedom
Conferencetitle, onewouldthink
therewouldbetonsof pressureon
a new coach to keep the winning
traditions going. Kern said if
there is any on her, she welcomes
it.
A lot of times, your first head
coaching job, youre trying to
workyour wayuptheladder, she
said. Im really lucky that there
aregreatkidshereandcoachMar-
tin last year did a great job taking
over. Theres already a great pro-
gramhere with kids that can win,
so Ill take that pressure any day
with this talented group that
knows howto win.
Kern will make her regular sea-
son debut at Lycoming on Nov.

quickness. Hes got an instinc-
tual and intangible nose for the
ball, Notre Dame defensive co-
ordinator Bob Diaco says.
Hes got a spectacular skill
set and the intangible blue-col-
lar mentality, so its a unique
combination.
Teo had to make a tough de-
cision on his future and it came
last December stay in school
and go pro? He discussed it
with his parents, saying he
didnt want to miss out on a fi-
nal season in South Bend.
I know that if I prepare my-
self, both mentally and physi-
cally, and spiritually, Ill be fine
and whatever happens, hap-
pens. I told my parents, if I
come out my senior game, my
last game of the season against
Wake Forest, whether I come
out in pads or on crutches, it
will be worth it, he said earlier.
It was the second time hed
chosen to remain with the
Irish. After his freshman year,
he decided to forgo a Mormon
mission and return to school.
It was very difficult in total-
ly different ways, he said. Go-
ing on my mission was an expe-
rience like no other. It was
something to help me grow as a
person. Leaving for the NFL
would help my family financial-
ly, so there were different sit-
uations, but I used the same
tools to make those decisions
I prayed about it and talked
to my family about it and
weighed the pros and cons of
each.
I think Ive made the right
decision for me and my family.
Teo, who is listed at 6-2, 255,
certainly wants to play in the
NFL next year and part of the
reason for losing 15 pounds was
to keep himself stronger and in-
jury free. He did it by not over-
eating and spacing out his
meals.
I think it naturally happened
when I watched what I ate, he
said. I made the sacrifices I
needed to make to be on the
top of my game. People talk
about injuries and the possibil-
ity of injuries, but a lot of those
injuries occur when you are
tired or out of shape, muscle
pulls, stuff like that. If Imin the
best shape of my life, I
shouldnt have to worry about
that stuff.
Count fellow inside lineback-
er Dan Fox as one of those over-
joyed to hear that Teo was
coming back.
The opportunity you can go
play in the NFL, and for him to
come back, that meant a lot to
us and the defense, said Fox,
who became a starter last sea-
son.
He helps me out a lot. One
thing I noticed is hes starting
to trust me more not that he
didnt before. You can rely on
somebody a little more the
more they play.
Teos teammates rely on him
as a leader who will not hes-
itate to speak up when some-
ones not doing something the
right way. With a coachs
knowledge of the Irish defense,
he expects accountability from
himself and those around him.
Hes hard on himself, and
the moments where he may
lose focus, or he may not give it
his all, even those moments are
decreasing, said Diaco, a for-
mer college linebacker at Iowa.
Not only is he going to be
one of the very best linebackers
that ever played here, if not the
best, (but) one of the very best
linebackers to ever play college
football.
Teos place in Notre Dame
history is not something hes
given a lot of thought. A native
of Laie, Hawaii, hes come a
long way to make his mark on a
program. He wants more than
anything to go out a big winner.
I hope I stand out as one of
the best, but I dont get too
caught up in all that stuff.
Hopefully at the end of the day
Im one of the best, he said.
Notes: Coach Brian Kelly
said by Monday he may sort
out the practice repetitions for
his No. 1 quarterback and the
No. 2, meaning he will be close
to picking a starter for the Sept.
1 opener in Dublin, Ireland,
against Navy. Everett Golson,
whos thrown only one inter-
ception during camp, and An-
drew Hendrix, who played as a
backup last season, are compet-
ing for the starters role.

Leaving for the NFL
would help my family
financially I think Ive
made the right decision
for me and my family.
Notre Dame linebacker
Manti Teo on returning
to school
that, OBrien said. I think we
all have got tobe real careful, be-
cause the two tight ends we had
in New England are two of the
best players in the NFL in Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernan-
dez. Were not asking our tight
ends at Penn State to be Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernan-
dez, were just asking them to
blockwell andunderstandroute
technique and understand their
assignments.
Weve got four or five guys
there that can play and we feel
good about the position. I think
we have to stop with the com-
parisons about what wedidwith
Gronkowski and Hernandez
and what were going to do at
Penn State.
As far as personnel onoffense,
OBrien has most of his starters
already in place. He confirmed
Thursday that sophomores Al-
len Robinson and Miles Dieffen-
bach will start at receiver and
left guard, respectively.
Junior Mark Arcidiacono was
expectedtochallengefor astart-
ing spot on the line but has been
hampered by a foot injury since
the spring.
Tackle Donovan Smith has
been bothered all camp by a
tweakedhamstring, but OBrien
said he expected him back as
early as today.
ON DEFENSE
Injuries continue to hit an al-
ready-thin secondary that has
seen safeties Jake Fagnano and
Malcolm Willis both miss time
in practice. While OBrien said
those issues are minor, reserve
cornerback Mike Wallace re-
mains out long-term because of
a pectoral injury suffered in the
spring.
Despite that, OBrien said
there havent been any moves to
bolster the depth in the defen-
sive backfield. They like what
they see fromtheir groupof true
freshmen.
Ive been very pleased with
the secondary. Ive been pleased
with the defense as a whole,
OBrien said. The secondary
has a number of good returning
players. Also some younger
players in there that we think
could really help us like a
DaQuan Davis or Jordan Lu-
cas.
ON SPECIAL TEAMS
A rough few months has seen
the Lions lose their top kicker
(Anthony Fera, transfer), punt-
er (Fera again), punt returner
(Justin Brown, transfer) and
even the projected long snapper
(Ty Howle, injury).
Some of the spots have al-
ready been filled. Sophomore
Sam Ficken is in line to handle
field goals and kickoffs. Emery
Etter will take care of the snaps
on kicks.
Punter, though, remains a
concern.
I think the punting situation
is still a little up in the air,
OBrien said. Alex (Butter-
worth) shows flashes, (Matt)
Marcincin shows flashes and
then the next punt isnt very
good. They really have to be a
lot more consistent, and I think
thats still an on-going battle
there.
The return game may indeed
be solidified by now. But
OBrien is keeping that to him-
self.
Weve been looking at a lot of
guys as returners, he said.
Youll see on Sept. 1 who re-
turns kicks.

being offered with such an in-
crease would reduce their pay.
The increase in the number
of officials was first proposed by
the NFL to the NFLRA by letter
dated July19, 2012 and had nev-
er been mentioned in the pre-
ceding 10 months of negotia-
tions, the NFLRA said in a
statement. It is clear that this
proposal is a negotiating tactic
to attempt to divert attention
from the real issues.
Another key issue, one Aiello
noted will improve the quality
of officiatinglongterm, is hiring
full-time officials. The league is
proposing having seven officials
one per position of referee,
umpire, line judge, side judge,
back judge, field judge, head li-
nesman who would train,
scout, handle communications,
safety issues and rules interpre-
tations year-round. Now, all
NFLgame officials are part-time
employees, with outside jobs
ranging from lawyer to teacher
to business owner.
The NFLRA is not opposed
to full time officials if they are
fairly compensated, the union
said Thursday. While the NFL
has never made any compensa-
tion proposal, comparable posi-
tions in other professional
sports at the 20-year level earn
approximately $350,000 to
$400,000 and are provided
health insurance, a pension,
time off with pay and numerous
other benefits.
The union also disputes the
value of the leagues current sal-
ary offer, which it says would
not be a 5 percent to 11 percent
increase.
Instead, the officials said the
proposal includes aggregate
game fee compensation increas-
es of 2.82 percent per year, not
the rates publicly claimedby the
league. Infact, theNFLs propos-
al does not contain any salary
schedule. Rather it contains ag-
gregategamefees for all officials
to be paid per a schedule to be
developed by the NFLRA.
Aiello countered that officials
would receive continuing in-
creases in every category of pay,
from game fees to travel and
meeting fees, and, depending
on how the NFLRA decided to
allocate the salary pool, individ-
ual officials could expect annual
increases of between 5 and 11
percent.
Finally, there is a stalemate
over the officials pension plan,
which the union said the league
plans to freeze and ultimately
terminate. The NFLRA offered
to grandfather the current de-
fined benefit plan only for cur-
rent officials.
The league is offering a
401(k) plan in which it said its
last proposal would provide an-
nual contributions averaging
about $20,000.

Continued fromPage 1B
In the late game, Goodletts-
ville, Tenn., beat Kearney, Neb.,
12-1, behind 12-year-old pitcher
Brock Myers, who struck out
eight in 4 1-3 innings and helped
himself at the plate with a two-
run homer in the fifth.
Myers big-league perform-
ance spoiled a historic moment
for Nebraska it was the first
time a team from the state had
advanced to South Williamsport.
Nebraska will play Connecti-
cut on Saturday in an elimina-
tion game. No matter what hap-
pens, Kearneys kids are already
stars back home.
The mini-mashers from the
Midwest have been receiving
emails and text messages all
week from family, friends and
new-found baseball fans from all
over Nebraska. Football is king
in Nebraska, but the boys from
Kearney might just be challeng-
ing the Cornhuskers as the
states most popular team.
Some players have been wear-
ing Nebraska Cornhuskers T-
shirts in practice.
I think we do personally
(have more fans) right now,
coach Monte Dakan joked this
week. Im hoping we have.
California starting pitcher Bra-
dley Smith made an impression,
too, after striking out seven and
going 4 for 4 at the plate with a
homer and three RBIs to help
the West region champs hold on
against Connecticut.
The 13-year-old Smith strikes
an imposing pose with his 6-
foot-3 frame. But he had some
early jitters on the mound after
giving up a first-inning home run
to Biagio Paoletta.
You cant be nervous in these
games. Youre one of the top 16
teams ... in the world, Smith
said calmly. So I was thinking,
What do I have to be nervous
about?
He felt much better in the
third after hitting a 2-0 curveball
deep to left-center that just elud-
ed outfielder Matt Clarkins
glove and just cleared the fence
225 feet away for a two-run
homer and 3-1 lead. Smith also
struck out seven over four in-
nings.
But California couldnt shake
Connecticut. Will Lucas tripled
home a run before scoring on a
passed ball to get Connecticut
within a run in the bottom of the
fifth.
Connecticut threatened again
in the sixth, but reliever Andrew
White got a double play and
strikeout to end the game. The
12-year-old lefty pumped his fist
after he left the mound to be
greeted by giddy teammates.
The 5-foot Paretti, the small-
est player on his team, came up
big with a two-run single in the
fifth.
Its been amazing, its just so
exciting to play with teams all
around and now were in the
same position, Paretti said.
Just seeing them (at the tourna-
ment) and now were in the
same position, its really awe-
some.
Connecticut outfielder Ryan
Meury left the game with a
bloodied lip after getting by a
pitch, but got an ovation after
walking back to the dugout. A
Little League spokesman said
Meury needed a couple stitches
to close the gash. It was unclear
if Meury would be ready for Con-
necticuts next game Saturday.
JAPAN 7, CURACAO 0
Kotaro Kiyomiya and Noriatsu
Osaka combined for a two-hitter
for Tokyo in the opening game of
the Little League World Series.
Kiyomiya didnt allow a hit and
struck out seven in 2 2-3 innings.
Osaka finished on the mound in
relief with seven strikeouts.
A team from Japan has won
the World Series international ti-
tle the last two seasons. This
years Japan region champs,
from Tokyo, took control early
with three runs in each of the
first two innings.
Not bad for a Japan team that
hadnt played since July 7.
I didnt have my best control
The ball wasnt going exactly
where I wanted it, but it got bet-
ter the longer I pitched, the 12-
year-old Osaka said through in-
terpreter Yuichi Ishibashi.
Christopher Koeiman and My-
chellon Jansen each had singles
for Curacao, which made its first
tournament appearance since
2009.
TAIWAN 14, GERMANY 1
Li-Wei Chiang homered and
drove in four runs, and Feng
Chen went 3 for 3 with three
RBIs for the team from Taoyuan.
Kyle Glenn had Germanys only
hit, while Justin Wilson scored
the teams only run in the game
that ended early because of Lit-
tle Leagues 10-run rule.
It hardly mattered to Wilsons
father, Marquis, who arrived in
South Williamsport on Wednes-
day just in time to see his 12-
year-old son play for the first
time in two months. The elder
Wilson, who serves in the mil-
itary as a security forces trainer
in Afghanistan, is on a 15-day
leave.
Marquis Wilson said it was a
little nerve-wracking watch Jus-
tin from the stands.
It was hard, but he did his
best and thats all you can ask
for, the proud father said.

Paczewski 9th in world
A pair of 1-over-par 37s power-
ed Logan Paczewski, 8, of Dallas
to a ninth-place finish at the U.S.
Kids World Championship in
Pinehurst, N.C., earlier this
month.
The 8-year-olds played three
9-hole rounds in competition.
Paczewski posted 37s in his first
two rounds, standing just three
shots off the lead for his age
after consecutive one birdie, two
bogey showings.
A run of bogeys in his final
round left Paczewski with a
4-over 40 and a 114 for his 27
holes. He finished five shots off
the lead.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP)
Carl Pettersson shot an 8-under
62 on Thursday to take the first-
round lead in the Wyndham
Championship.
David Mathis and Tim Clark
were a stroke back, Tom Gillis,
Scott Stallings and Troy Matte-
son shot 64, and Matt Every had
a 65 in the final event before the
FedEx Cup playoffs.
The top of the leaderboard
had a decidedly local flavor. Pet-
tersson went to high school in
Greensboro, calls Raleigh
home, and both he and Clark
played at North Carolina State.
Mathis grew up in Winston-Sa-
lem, went to Campbell and lives
north of Raleigh.

COLUMBUS, Ohio On the day
he was introduced as Ohio States
24th head coach last November, Ur-
ban Meyer outlined a relatively sim-
ple list of expectations for his play-
ers, his staff and himself.
I want a bunch of coaches that
coach like their hairs on fire, and I
want a football team that goes four
to six seconds of relentless effort,
he said. You do that, you have a
chance to win in every game you
play.
Meyer, winner of two national
championships at Florida, returned
from a one-year coaching hiatus as
an ESPN analyst to take over an
Ohio State programmired in NCAA
sanctions andbeatendownbyayear
of negative headlines.
So far, hes injected some fresh
thinking, a new offensive philoso-
phy and renewed intensity into a
programwhichhadbeenconsistent-
ly good in a decade under Jim Tres-
sel, before he was bumped off his
pedestal for covering up a scheme
involvingseveral topplayers trading
memorabilia for tattoos and money.
Among several other NCAA pe-
nalties, the Buckeyes are banned
from going to a bowl after this sea-
son. So, with Meyer preaching he
wants an angry team, theyve tak-
en it to heart by vowing to run the
table and obliterate all the bad pub-
licity froma year of suspensions, vi-
olations and sanctions.
Our goals to go 12-0, running
back Carlos Hyde said. Even
though we cant go to a bowl game,
we still have toplay. Sowere just go-
ing to get out there and have a chip
onour shoulders sincewecant goto
a bowl game to let the world
know who the Buckeyes are this
year.
Meyer took over an Ohio State
team coming off a dreadful 6-7 sea-
sonthat includeda four-game losing
skidenteringthis season. Luke Fick-
ell, the interim coach then, was re-
tained as a defensive co-coordina-
tor.
The attitude was bad, someone
was suspended for a violation al-
most every week and it seemed ev-
eryone was waiting for the NCAAto
hand down the penalties that came
just before the Buckeyes lost to
Meyers former employer, Florida,
in the Gator Bowl.
There was a lot of (NCAA and
disciplinary) stuff goingonlast year.
You cant really point out what it
was, cornerback Bradley Roby
said. There was so much stuff go-
ing on, I feel like it really affectedev-
erybody.
Meyer has told his players to for-
get 2011and concentrate on turning
around the program. But he doesnt
have three multiyear starters on the
offensive line, the top running back
and best linebacker from a team
whose seven losses were the most
for an Ohio State team since 1897.
He has, though, instilled a lot of
energy and optimism.
Expectations always are high,
saidthefocal point of Meyers vaunt-
ed spread attack, second-year quar-
terbackBraxtonMiller. WhenI was
inhighschool lookingat OhioState,
I was like, Man, they arent ever go-
ing to lose. Theyre always going to
be good. Thats the expectations of
the fans.
Miller and the new offense are a
radical changefromthedays of Tres-
sel, who once famously called the
punt the most important play in
football. Meyer would prefer not to
punt at all.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Brady
Hokes leadership. Denard Robin-
sons talent. An improved defense
andthe first winina BCSbowl since
2000.
Michigan has restored some of its
lost luster and just three years after
losing a school-record nine games,
college footballs winningest pro-
gram is nationally relevant again.
When he was hired to replace
Rich Rodriguez, Hoke scoffed,
This is Michigan for Gods sake,
after being asked about the Wolve-
rines slipping. Nineteen months lat-
er, he couldnt fathom the idea that
more people hold the program in a
higher regard now than they did
during the Rodriguez era.
I dont understand why anyone
wouldnt respect whenever anyone
says, This is Michigan, Hoke said.
This is Michigan football its 11
national championships and 42 Big
Ten championships.
Michigan, though, hasnt won a
conference championship since
2004 in what has been its longest
drought between winning Big Ten
titles in 1950 and 1964.
While many praised the Wolve-
rines during the 11-2 season capped
by a Sugar Bowl win, the players are
still beating themselves up about
losing to Michigan State and Iowa
to spoil their chances of competing
for the league title they covet.
Last year was a failure for Michi-
gan, offensive tackle Taylor Lewan
said. Alot of people were pattingus
on the back, but we werent happy
because we wanted to win the Big
Ten title and we didnt.
Michigan should have a shot to
win the conference championship if
it can avoid a five-game losing
streak to the Spartans on Oct. 20 at
home, beat Nebraska the next week
on the road and close the regular
season with a second straight victo-
ry against Ohio State on the road in
what will the NCAA-sanctioned
Buckeyes final game of the year.
The Wolverines will improve
their chances in those key games if
Robinson can strike a balance with
therunninggamethat hes abigpart
of by making defenses respect his
arm and the defensive line exceeds
expectations.
Robinson ran for 1,176 yards 5-
plus yards per carryand16touch-
downs. But he had 15 interceptions
with his 20 throwing TDs and his
completion percentage slipped to
55 percent. He stayed healthy, un-
like the previous year, because Fitz-
gerald Toussaint ran for more than
1,000 yards and nine touchdowns.
Toussaint, however, was suspend-
ed for the first week of practice be-
cause of a DUI charge and Hoke
hasnt said if hell play against de-
fending champion Alabama on
Sept. 1 at Cowboys Stadium in sub-
urban Dallas.
Returning reserve running backs
Thomas Rawls, Vincent Smith, Jus-
tice Hayes, along with freshmen
Dennis Norfleet and Drake John-
son, will get a chance to play more
than anticipated if Hoke benches
Toussaint longer than a game.
Michigans receivinggame, which
relied on senior Junior Hemingway
last season, took a couple hits.

Carey, No Doubt to
perform before opener
NEW YORK Mariah Carey
and No Doubt are superstar
acts, but theyll be the openers
for the NFLs first game of the
season.
Carey and No Doubt are set to
perform live from Rockefeller
Plaza before the New York Gi-
ants-Dallas Cowboys game at
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The hourlong pregame show
will air at 7:30 p.m. EDT on
NBC.
Carey says shes thrilled to be
performing in New York
which she called her hometown
and adds shes looking for-
ward to making the season
launch even more festive.
No Doubt drummer and New
Orleans Saints fan Adrian Young
says hes excited to take part,
and noted that the band per-
formed at Super Bowl in 2003.
Witten hopeful hell be
ready for 1st game
OXNARD, Calif. Dallas
Cowboys tight end Jason Witten
is hopeful that he will be ready
to play in the season opener in
three weeks.
Witten said Thursday that
hes doing all right while deal-
ing with a lacerated spleen. He
says the tough part is forcing
himself to sit and rest, which
doctors have said is the best
way for him to heal.
The seven-time Pro Bowler
was hurt in the preseason open-
er Monday night against Oak-
land.
While Witten says theres no
timetable for his return, he says
he isnt thinking about not play-
ing in the season opener against
the New York Giants on Sept. 5.
Brown suspended
for 4 games
SAN DIEGO The NFL says
San Diego Chargers defensive
tackle Garrett Brown has been
suspended without pay for the
teams first four regular-season
games for violating the leagues
policy on performance-enhanc-
ing substances.
Brown, who signed as a free
agent, will be eligible to return
to the Chargers active roster on
Oct. 1.
The league says Brown is
eligible to participate in all
preseason practices and exhibi-
tion games.
Royster makes bid
for starting job
ASHBURN, Va. Injuries
have given Evan Royster a clear
shot to claim the starting run-
ning back job for the Washing-
ton Redskins.
The second-year player is
expected to get the bulk of the
first-team work Saturday when
the Redskins visit Chicago.
Tim Hightower is recovering
from knee surgery, and Roy
Helu Jr. has tendinitis in his left
Achilles tendon. Theres a
chance either or both could
return for next weeks game at
Indianapolis, but that leaves
Royster and prospects Alfred
Morris and Tristan Davis carry-
ing the load for now.
Royster is Penn States career
rushing leader rusher. He was a
sixth-round draft pick a year ago
and began the season on the
practice squad. He was promot-
ed to the active roster midsea-
son and rushed for 100 yards in
each of the final two games.

Ready to go
San Francisco 49ers linebacker
NaVorro Bowman goes through
drills during training camp in
Santa Clara, Calif., Thursday.
PHILADELPHIA Michael
Vick is healthy. He appears ready
to tackle his fourth season with
the Eagles. And all signs are
pointing to another standout sea-
son for the veteran quarterback.
But what about his backups?
That was one of the questions
being bandied about practice on
Thursday, as the Eagles (No. 8 in
the AP Pro32) returned to their
training complex in Philadelphia
after training camp at Lehigh
University and continued
preparations for Mondays pre-
season game vs. New England.
There are plenty of options, of
course. Philadelphia has Trent
Edwards, Nick Foles and Mike
Kafka on the roster. But Kafka
has an injured hand and wont
play against the Patriots. Coach
AndyReidsaidFoles will beNo. 2
onMonday, while Edwards is No.
3.
For now.
The team has high hopes for
Foles, a rookie who threw for
4,334 yards and 28 touchdowns
in his final season as an Arizona
Wildcat. He averaged 361.2 yards
per game last year, and finished
with 14 interceptions.
Well, listen, I think what you
look at with any rookie is, are
they getting better every day? He
seems to be doing that and is
more comfortable, Reid said.
Weve got a load of plays in for
him and hes able to recite those
properly. Now it is just making
surehes got everybodydownand
that comes with reps.
But I would tell you we knew
he was smart coming in and he
hasnt disappointed us in that ar-
ea. Hes a pretty sharp kid, very
diligent, works hard, and all of
those things.
In a 24-23 win over Pittsburgh
to open the preseason last week,
Foles was 6-of-10 for 144 yards
and two touchdowns.
His poise has really impressed
me, his decision-making obvious-
ly, and he has a big-time arm,
Vick said. Nick has all the ingre-
dients to be a great quarterback.

LATROBE The most fa-
mous hair in football is now
flecked with more than a few
strands of gray, and Troy Pola-
malu knows it.
Entering his 10th season, the
perennial All-Pro Pittsburgh
Steelers safety talks openly
about being closer to the end of
his Hall-of-Fame career than
the beginning. He repeats the
phrase Im trying to just take
each day as it comes its al-
most as if its on a loop.
The thoughtful 31-year-old
has always been about more
than football at one point
during Organized Team Activ-
ities he and free agent safety
Myron Rolle engaged in a spir-
ited talk about overpopulation
yet he understands hes at
the point in his career where he
needs to start thinking about
those who will be around long
after hes gone.
Its why he broke from tradi-
tion and showed up at OTAs
this spring rather than work
out in California. Its why he
spent time at wide receiver
yes, wide receiver during a
drill earlier this week to give
rookie defensive backs some in-
sight into how things will look
in Sunday nights preseason
home opener against the Indi-
anapolis Colts.
He could be back sitting on
a water cooler hamming it up
but hes not, secondary coach
Carnell Lake said. Hes adding
his input, This is what I see.
You might want to see this or
that.
Even if there have been few
players in NFL history who
have done it quite like Polama-
lu, whose combination of ath-
leticism and instincts have
made him one of the best play-
ers of his generation.
The Steelers have relied on
his playmaking to make them a
perennial Super Bowl conten-
der. Now theyre relying just as
heavily on his leadership after a
mass exodus in the offseason
left Polamalu as one of the
most experienced players in a
locker room in the midst of a
transformation.
Aaron Smith, Chris Hoke,
James Farrior and Hines Ward
are gone. Suddenly, the guy
who still vividly remembers be-
ing the anxious rookie in 2003
is one of the oldest guys in the
huddle. He knows its time to
start acting like it, both in deed
and in words.
Leading by example has nev-
er been an issue for Polamalu.
Now, however, he knows his
words and his off-the-field hab-
its are just as important. Its
one of the reasons he traveled
cross-country for three weeks
of OTAs, sacrificing valuable
time with his family during the
offseason so he could help the
newcomers get a feel of whats
required at a place that lives by
the motto the standard is the
standard.
We lost some great leaders
this past year and Troy realizes
that and he realizes he has to
take a bigger, not necessarily a
more vocal role, but a visible
one, safety Ryan Mundy said.
Things that are voluntary, hes
making a point to be at to show
that Hey I am one of the lead-
ers on the team and youll see
my face.
Polamalu, in typically under-
stated fashion, brushes off the
idea that he was trying to prove
a point by being at OTAs. The
way he figures it, its better to
get to know the new guys soon-
er rather than later.
Maybe, though it has never
been an issue in the secondary.
Veteran Ryan Clark is the
spokesman. Cornerback Ike
Taylor is the trash talker. And
Polamalu is the quiet straight-A
student.

New role not such a hairy issue
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
GREEN BAY, Wis.
Rookie quarterback Bran-
don Weeden showed im-
provement in his second
preseason game, avoiding
major mistakes as the Cle-
veland Browns beat the
Green Bay Packers 35-10 at
Lambeau Field on Thursday
night.
Aaron Rodgers looked
sharp in limited action, but
backup quarterback Graham
Harrell was shaky for the
Packers.
Weeden, a first-round
pick out of Oklahoma State
who already has been cho-
sen the Browns starter,
played the first half and
was 12 of 20 for 118 yards.
Browns kicker Phil Daw-
son hit three field goals,
including a pair from 50-
plus yards. Dawson missed
a 56-yarder just before half-
time for Cleveland.
Rodgers threw a 20-yard
touchdown to Jordy Nelson
on his first series for the
Packers.
Bengals 24, Falcons 19
Andy Dalton threw for
125 yards and a touchdown
as the Bengals defeated the
host Falcons.
Matt Ryan was sharp in
the losing effort.
The Falcons starting
quarterback connected on
18 of 31 passes for 174
yards and a touchdown.
A.J. Green pulled in two
passes for 59 yards and a
touchdown for the Bengals.

R O U N D U P
NEW ORLEANS The NFL
on Thursday provided a federal
judge with what it says is evi-
dence Commissioner Roger
Goodell did not improperly pre-
judge the four players suspend-
ed in the bounty investigation.
The evidence includes a copy
of a letter the NFL Players Asso-
ciation sent the league on
March7 asking Goodell to delay
punishment of players implicat-
ed in the bounty probe.
It also includes a sworn decla-
ration fromGoodell in which he
states he was prepared to hand
down player discipline at the
same time he announced sus-
pensions for coaches and exec-
utives on March 21. Goodells
declaration states he held off af-
ter verbally agreeing to do so in
a phone conversation with
union head DeMaurice Smith.
Attorneys for Vilma, who has
sued separately, and NFLPA
lawyers representing the three
other punished players have ar-
gued Goodell showed improper
bias with comments he made
before sending the players no-
tice of their suspensions on May
2.
Attorneys for the players have
been given until Friday to file
their ownevidenceandbriefs on
the matter.
Vilmas consolidated lawsuits
include a defamation claim
against Goodell. Vilmas attor-
ney, Peter Ginsberg, has argued
Goodell made reckless and false
statements about Vilma being
the ringleader of a bounty pro-
gram that offered cash for injur-
ing targeted opponents.
Vilma has asked U.S. District
Judge Ginger Berrigan to grant
a temporary restraining order
that would allow him to return
to the Saints while his case pro-
ceeds, and the judge has said
she would be inclined to rule in
his favor, but will hold off until
she is comfortable she has juris-
diction to do so.
Berrigan has indicated that
she might prefer to see howsep-
arate proceedings called for in
the leagues collective bargain-
ing agreement play out.
One item still pending is the
NFLPAs appeal of system arbi-
trator Stephen Burbanks ruling
that Goodell had the authority
to serve as arbitrator on the
bounty matter because of the
commissioners stance that the
violations represented conduct
detrimental to the league, as
opposed to standard on-field vi-
olations, whichwouldcall for an
arbitrator other than the com-
missioner.
A three-member appeal panel
is expected to review Burbanks
decision late this month, and if
it rules in the players favor, that
could negate the need for fur-
ther action in federal court.
In the meantime, the judge
has urgedall sides totrytosettle
the matter withthe helpof a fed-
eral magistrate.

Pa. jobless rate at 7.9%
Pennsylvanias seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate rose by three-
tenths of a percentage point in July
from June, to 7.9 percent, the Depart-
ment of Labor & Industry said Thurs-
day. The state unemployment rate was
0.2 percentage points lower than in
July 2011.
The national unemployment rate in
July was 8.3 percent.
Seasonally adjusted total nonfarm
jobs in Pennsylvania were down 3,100
in July to 5,709,200. This was the
fourth consecutive monthly decline.
The states job count was up 0.4
percent compared to July 2011, lagging
the national growth rate of 1.4 percent.
$30M boost for partnership
White House officials Thursday
announced an initial $30 million in-
vestment to form a manufacturing hub
in Ohio aimed at boosting technology
in a three-state region.
The effort is a partnership between
dozens of companies, universities and
nonprofit organizations in Ohio, Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia. Its main
hub in Youngstown, Ohio, is scheduled
to launch by September.
The consortium will develop addi-
tive manufacturing, which will affect a
range of industries including defense,
aerospace and automotive. The consor-
tium also will add another $40 million
to the pilot program, which beat out
proposals from other regions in the
country.
Housing news mixed
Construction of homes and apart-
ments dipped 1.1 percent in July to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
746,000 in July. In June, housing starts
rose to the highest level in nearly four
years.
Applications for building permits
rose 6.8 percent in July to an annual
rate of 812,000, the fastest pace since
August 2008.
The rise in permits suggests builders
will boost construction in the next few
months.
Wal-Mart profit rises
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported a 5.7
percent increase in second-quarter net
income, boosted by solid sales at its
U.S. stores and abroad.
Its total revenue was below Wall
Street expectations, and its scaling
back its expansion plans in three mar-
kets China, Brazil and Mexico.

SANFRANCISCOFacebooks
stock plunged to a new low Thurs-
day after the expiration of a ban
that had prevented some early in-
vestors and insiders from dumping
millions of additional shares they
own in the social-networking lead-
er.
Firms ranging from Accel Part-
ners to Goldman Sachs, Zynga
CEO Mark Pincus and Facebook
board members James Breyer and
Peter Thiel were among those free
to sell stock they own, after the lift-
ingof a banknownas a lock-upperi-
od.
If many of them took advantage
of that, Facebooks stock could de-
cline because the market would be
flooded with nearly two-thirds
more shares.
CNBC reported that Accel Part-
ners shifted 50 million Facebook
shares to its limited partners, who
could then have sold them.
Venture capitalists who invested
in Facebook as early as 2005 were
likely itching to sell at the earliest
opportunity. Though its trading at
about half of its IPOprice, SamHa-
madeh, the CEO of PrivCo, said
Facebooks stock is still very expen-
sive.
With VCs, they know that wait-
ing for a better price is a fools
game, he said.
Thursday was only the first of
several lock-up expiration dates for
Facebooks stock. The biggest one
is coming in the fall.
Only 271 million shares became
eligible for trading Thursday, but
by the time all the lockups expire,
thatll come to 1.91 billion.
Facebook Inc.s stock traded as
lowas $19.69 before bouncing back
above $20 before closing at $19.87,
down 6.3 percent from Wednes-
days close and 48 percent below
the initial offering price of $38.

WASHINGTON The Justice De-
partments antitrust division on
Thursday approved deals between
Verizon Wireless and four of the na-
tions largest cable companies but ap-
plied conditions.
Most significantly, the agency said
it will not allow Verizon Wireless
stores to sell TV and broadband ser-
vices from the cable companies
Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright
House Networks and Cox in areas
where Verizon sells its own TV and
broadband service, as it does in the
Wilkes-Barre market.
When it comes to home broad-
band, Verizon Communication Inc.s
FiOS provides the only significant
competition to cable in many areas.
Yet FiOS is costly to build out, and
Verizons commitment to the tech-
nology has faltered. Consumer
groups who opposed the deal be-
tween the cable companies and Veri-
zon said it showed that Verizon was
further giving up on FiOS and yield-
ing the home broadband market to
cable.
The Justice Department agreed,
saying the agreements would harm
competition by reducing incentives
to compete, resulting in higher pric-
es and lower quality for the public.
Verizon Wireless announced deals
to buy spectrum capacity from the
cable companies late last year.
Analysts called it an epochal deal
between companies that have been
enemies for decades.
Apart from limiting the areas
where Verizon Wireless stores can
sell cable, the agreement between
the parties and the Justice Depart-
ment puts a five-year limit on the co-
marketing agreement in other areas.
After that period, the parties can
apply to extend the deal, said the act-
ing assistant attorney general for the
antitrust division, Joseph Wayland.

WNEP OPENS OFFICE ON PUBLIC SQUARE
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
W
NEP reporters Ryan Leckey, Scott Schaffer and Tom Williams speak with Clayton Karambelas on
Thursday at the opening of a WNEP-TV Newswatch 16 bureau on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. News
Director Carl Abraham said six people will work from the office on ground floor of the Bicentennial Build-
ing, including a newly hired reporter. Technology will allow live broadcasts from the bureau or from out-
side. Doors will be locked most of the time, Abraham said, but anyone with a news tip can call in at 704-

NEW YORK Twenty-six big U.S.
companies paid their CEOs more last
year than they paid the federal gov-
ernment in tax, according to a study
released Thursday by a liberal-lean-
ing think tank.
The study, by the Institute for Pol-
icy Studies, said the companies, in-
cluding AT&T, Boeing and Citi-
group, paid their CEOs an average of
$20.4 million last year while paying
little or no federal tax on ample prof-
its, according to regulatory filings.
Some companies cited in the study
said it was misleading. They also said
they took advantage of tax deduc-
tions and credits designed to free up
money for companies to spend in
ways that stimulate the economy.
On average, the 26 companies gen-
erated pretax net income of more
than $1 billion in the U.S., the study
said.
The study blasted tax rules allow-
ing unlimited deductions for CEO
performance-based pay, like many
stock options. It said the five biggest
performance payers among the 26
companies took $232 million of these
deductions last year.
Among the kingpins it criticized
was CEO James McNerney Jr. of Boe-
ing. It said he got $18.4 million in pay
last year while his company received
a tax refund of $605 million.
The study also laid into Citigroup
for paying CEO Vikram Pandit $14.9
million while the bank received a net
$144 million in tax benefits.
Eighteen of the 26 companies re-
ceived cash back or credits to apply
against tax in the future, according to
the report.
The study, a 45-page attack on the
corporate tax code, said deductions
and credits are allowing companies to
lavish big pay packages on executives
so they can cut their tax bills while
Washington gets less money in a time
of trillion-plus deficits.
Study: Exec pay topped taxes at some firms

So far this sum-
mer my rainfall
total stands at
9.18", which is
about 6" less
than what fell to
this date last
summer. Near
normal amounts
of rain can be
expected from
now through the
middle of next
week but more
substantial rain-
fall is possible
from late next
week to the 30th
of August. It's a
safe bet to
assume that our
total for this
month won't
even come close
to the amount of
rain we had last
August, which in
my backyard was
12.09"! A cold
front arriving
later today will
bring a shower
followed by a
slight hint of fall
in the air this
weekend.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Hector will continue to stream
into the West today, helping to trigger scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Heavy
rain will be a possibility in parts of the Southwest. Look for showers and thunderstorms to accompa-
ny a strong cold front slowly pressing into the East and South, as well.
