Rt.309 work to restrict lanes

It also wont be a quick or inexpensive x. The $6 million project is expected to take about one year to complete, Taluto said. Details about the nature of the work, including whether and to what extent it may include blasting, were not immediately available Monday, he said. The area in question covers about 1.8 miles of highway, roughly between Pine Run Road and an area just north of the 309/437 (Woodlawn Avenue) split, according to information See ROUTE 309 | 10A

Brace yourselves, Mountain Top-area commuters. There soon will be lane closures along a busy stretch of state Route 309 in the area of Hanover and Fairview townships as Pennsylvania Department of Transportation crews prepare to begin clearing away dangerous overhanging rocks along the winding, mountainous stretch of highway. Its a safety issue, PennDOT spokesman Michael Taluto said Monday.

With six union contracts expiring at the end of the year, Luzerne County Council members are trying to set pay and benet goals they want negotiated into new collective bargaining agreements. Council has been waiting for recommendations from its strategic initiatives committee. After more than an hour of discussion Monday night, the committee of several council members nalized only two proposed targets: a minimum 37.5-hour work week for full-timers and a restriction limiting uniform allowances to clothing that cant be used for everyday wear. Several other proposals were shelved, at least until the committee reconvenes next month: The elimination of automatic raises and length-of-service bonuses in exchange for pay increases tied to performance.
Chairman Jim Bobeck says proposal to switch to 37.5 hours will be presented to council tonight.
WHATS NEXT
The committee held off because Administrative Services Division Head David Parsnik said he is developing a plan to complete job descriptions, evaluations and a study of pay scales for each position based on the market and compensation in other counties. Health-care changes that would require employees to pay more and possibly standardize the countys cost of coverage whether an employee is single or has multiple dependents. After uncertainty over how these changes could be structured, the committee agreed to suggest a directive requiring the county and workers to continue studying options to reduce and standardize health-care costs.

Forgery charges reinstated after dismissal

ADA was a no-show for mans jury selection. DA says it was misunderstanding
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County judge who dismissed forgery charges against a Plymouth man last week because a prosecutor did not show up for a court proceeding reinstated the charges Monday and scheduled a September trial date. Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. threw out two felony charges against Joseph Paul Butler, 49, after Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick failed to appear for jury selection in the case the afternoon of Aug. 5.
Sklarosky
Melnick
District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said it was just a matter of a scheduling conict and misunderstanding. Her ofce, through Assistant District Attorney Mamie Phillips, led a request to have Sklarosky reconsider his decision.
A hearing was later scheduled for Monday morning. In the prosecutors request last week, Phillips outlined that Melnick was in court the morning of Aug. 5, and Butlers case was moved to Monday. Later in the day, another case scheduled to go to trial didnt, and Butlers case was called to begin with jury selection at 1 p.m. Melnick did not appear at the courthouse until 1:45 p.m. due to short notice and the charges were dismissed. Why didnt anyone appear? Sklarosky asked Phillips Monday. He called Melnicks actions last week disrespectful and in
complete disregard. The judge wondered why another attorney wasnt sent to his courtroom to stand in for a run-of-themill felony case. Sklarosky said his ofce called the District Attorneys Ofce at around 1:15 p.m. Aug. 5, and told the ofce that if Melnick did not show up, the charges would be dismissed. On Monday, Melnick said he believed the trial was to begin the following week Aug. 12 and he had sent his witnesses home until then because of the new date scheduled by Sklarosky. Sklarosky then vacated his original ruling and scheduled a Sept. 16 trial date for Butler.
WASHINGTON With the U.S. facing massive overcrowding in its prisons, Attorney General Eric Holder called Monday for major changes to the nations criminal justice system that would scale back the use of harsh sentences for certain drugHolder related crimes. In remarks to the American Bar Association in San Francisco, Holder said he also favors diverting people convicted of lowlevel offenses to drug treatment and community service programs and expanding a prison program to allow for release of some elderly, non-violent offenders.
We need to ensure that incarceration is used to punish, deter and rehabilitate not merely to convict, warehouse and forget, Holder said. In one important change, the attorney general said hes altering Justice Department policy so that low-level, non-violent drug offenders with no ties to large-scale o rga n i z at i o n s , gangs or cartels wont be charged with offenses that impose mandatory minimum sentences. Mandatory minimum prison sentences, a product of the governments war on drugs that began in the 1980s, limit the discretion of judges to impose shorter prison sentences. See HOLDER | 10A

DAILY NUMBER - 8-1-0 BIG 4 - 2-0-2-2 QUINTO - 3-3-2-2-0 TREASURE HUNT
ALBANY, N.Y. A Washington ofcial with knowledge of the plans says three upstate New York cities and Scranton are on the tentative list of places President Barack Obama will visit next week during a bus tour to talk about the economy and building the middle class. The White House says the president will visit next Thursday and Friday. The ofcial who
spoke on condition of anonymity because the details havent been released said Monday the stops will include Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton and Scranton. Obama is giving a series of speeches around the country on his ideas for building the middle class and boosting the economy. The trips to prepare for the fall budget debate with Congress have taken him to Illinois, Missouri, Florida, Tennessee and Arizona so far.
WILKES-BARRE In a money-saving move, the Pennsylvania Ofce of Inspector General recently relocated its Northeast Region Ofce in the city just a few blocks away into space occupied by the Department of Public Welfares Luzerne County Assistance Ofce. The relocation from 22 E. Union St. to 205 S. Washington St., WilkesBarre, will save the state approximately $55,000 per year in leasing, parking, postage and other costs, said James Timko, a
spokesman for the Ofce of Inspector General. He said the move did not result in layoffs but will result in savings and a closer working relationship between the two ofces. This relocation not only saves Pennsylvania taxpayers money, it increases efciency and improves communication between the Ofce of Inspector General and the Department of Public Welfare, Inspector General Michael A. Sprow said. In addition to preventing waste, fraud and abuse in state government,
the Ofce of Inspector General investigates and prosecutes welfare fraud. The Department of Public Welfare assists this effort by referring cases of potential welfare fraud to the Ofce of Inspector General. In the past two years the Ofce of Inspector Generals Northeast Region, which serves 23 counties including Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Schuylkill and Wyoming, has been responsible for prosecuting 410 counts of welfare fraud, representing approximately $1.4 million of restitution.
We are pleased with the opportunity to enhance our working relationship with the Ofce of Inspector General, Department of Public Welfare Secretary Beverly D. Mackereth said. We anticipate that this move will result in a leaner and more effective government. Timko said the Ofce of Inspector General moved into space on the second oor of the building. The Department of Public Welfares Luzerne County Assistance Ofce occupies the rst oor and part of the second oor.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE An Exeter couple charged with taking more than $500,000 from the estate of a late labor leader have asked for a continuance of their September trial. Joel Riegel, 76, and Gloria Bartnicki Riegel, 64, of Memorial Street, will now be tried on Dec. 3, county Judge Fred Pierantoni said. The Riegels requested the trial to be continued because Joel Riegel is scheduled to undergo chemoembolization treatments, their attorney, Marshall Anders, said in court papers. Prosecutors say the Riegels began taking the money in 2005 from the estate of Anthony Kane. Kane died in December 2001. Kane, who served as president of the Wyoming Valley West School District teachers union, was a supporter of the United Way and left the bulk of his estate to the agency after his death in December 2001.The Riegels served as executors until 2007. The value of the estate plummeted from $1.3 million to just $2,425 during their tenure, according to accounting conducted as part of a civil case involving the United Way. An investigation conducted by the Charitable Trusts Unit, a civil branch of the state Attorney Generals Ofce, and the estates new executor alleged the Riegels spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal expenses, including golf memberships, jewelry and lawn care. WILKES-BARRE An attorney who recently penned a letter to county judges about increasing caseloads in Luzerne Countys conict counsel pool has asked a judge to remove him from another case. Attorney John Pike, who works as a private criminal and civil attorney as well as part of the countys conict counsel pool of attorneys, said in an April 24 letter his caseload has become administratively overwhelming. He is concerned his clients might become affected because he is being spread thin, he said. The countys conict counsel pool consists of attorneys who represent indigent defendants when the Public Defenders Ofce has a conict. Pike had asked to be removed from the case of a homicide suspect due to increasing caseloads, a request that was granted. Pike claims Public Defenders Ofce clients are asking for conict counsel because of a personality difference with their assigned attorney, rather than an actual conict, such as if another attorney represents a co-defendant. On Monday, Pike asked to be removed from another clients case, citing the personality issue. County Judge Lesa Gelb scheduled a hearing for Aug. 22.
A very well attended Wilkes-Barre Area School Board meeting cleared out quickly with applause after the board reversed a decision Monday to ban propane tanks and sterno from the concession stand at games.

WBA Board rescinds stadium cooking ban, defends hiring

Board catches flak for hiring W-B mayors brother
MARK GUYDISH
mguydish@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE With a crowd so large people lined the walls in the board room and spilled into the adjacent hallway, the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board needed to hear the pleas from only one to rescind rules barring propane or Sterno at the Memorial Stadium concession stand. The board also took heat for the decision at an Aug 1 special meeting to hire Brian Leighton as a home and school visitor. According to the state department of education, Leightons certication is inactive because he has not completed mandated continuing education. Audience Member Linda Urban suggested the board bypassed a fully certied female candidate because of her gender. At least six people had signed up to discuss the ban on outside fuel at the stadium, but the board took action after the rst person, James Chmiola of the Band Booster Club, voiced his concerns. Chmiola noted the electric outlets at the concession stand trip
circuits if more than one crock pot is plugged in, and said that without propane-fueled grills and Sterno the club would be reduced to selling bottled water and candy and could loose hundreds of dollars each game. The board banned the fuels because organizations had begun storing propane tanks in a shed at the stadium, which board members felt was a re hazard. As Chmiola spoke, Board Member Christine Katsock moved to allow propane and Sterno provided they were removed after an event, adding that if they are left behind, we not only take the tank, you lose the privilege to bring propane, she warned. The crowd of parents and children cheered in agreement. Several audience members questioned why Leighton, the brother of the Wilkes-Barre mayor, was appointed without proper certication. When he was hired, minority board members said Leighton was not recommended by the interview committee, but hadnt mentioned certication problems. Board Solicitor Ray Wendolowski
said it is his understanding Leighton took the courses, and that college transcripts are being prepared and will be forwarded to the state. The answer didnt satisfy Urban or audience member Tracy Hughes. Asked by Hughes, the board conrmed another candidate was fully certied. Both questioned comments by board President John Quinn the night Leighton was hired. If you saw the kinds of places those people go to, most people wouldnt have the guts to take those kinds of jobs, Quinn had said. Thats a rough job, its rougher than people think. Urban asked Quinn if he bypassed a female candidate because of gender. Absolutely not, Quinn replied. But Urban pressed the issue, asking the board to rescind Leightons hiring on the basis you have outright discriminated against a woman qualied for this position. The board took no action. During the meeting Quinn conceded the comments Aug. 1 were a mistake, and after the meeting added that I didnt mean to harm anyone or show disrespect. If I offended others I apologize, and I mean that sincerely.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE City police reported the following: Two men are being sought in connection with the beating of a food deliveryman Sunday night. The unnamed driver, 33, said he was getting out of his vehicle to drop off an order in the 200 block of South Welles Street at about 10 p.m. when a man approached him and asked if everything was in the bag. A second man then came up behind the driver and struck him in the head with a baseball bat, police said. The two suspects stole the bag of food and ran off toward Midland Court, police said. Police described the rst robber as about 25 years old, wearing a blue T-shirt and a stretch hat and carrying a mobile fan. A description of the second man was not released.

Attorneys for suspect in deadlyhit-and-runwithdraw

WILKES-BARRE Attorneys representing a man charged in a deadly hitand-run that left a 5-year-old boy dead have withdrawn from their clients case, citing a conict of interest within the Public Defenders Ofce. Attorneys Nicole Thompson and William Ruzzo on Monday were taken off the case of Thomas Letteer Jr., 23, of Plains Township, after citing a fellow Public Defenders Ofce employee represents an individual they believe will be called to testify for prosecutors. That person was not identied in court papers led Monday. Judge Joseph Letteer Sklarosky Jr. appointed conict counsel attorneys Paul Galante and Allyson Kacmarski to represent Letteer. Prosecutors allege Letteer was driving a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am that struck Kevin Miller on North Street in Wilkes-Barre on Dec. 21. Police said Kevin was holding his fathers hand while crossing the street when Letteers vehicle struck him. The family reportedly had just left a Christmas party they attended at a house on North Street. After the accident, a search for the vehicle began. Police later located the vehicle. Sklarosky also said he would give Letteers attorneys additional time to review documents they received in the case, including 817 pages of material as well as 21 DVDs. No trial date has yet been scheduled. Sklarosky said he will soon schedule another hearing date. Letteer denied he was involved in the crash, and told police he was at a party in West Wyoming and then went to his girlfriends house in Pittston Township that day. Prosecutors say cellphone records indicate Letteer was in the area of North Street at the time the boy was struck, according to court records, with cellphone calls being processed through towers at Kings College and Public Square in Wilkes-Barre, just a few blocks away.

Spraying set to help contain West Nile Virus

The Luzerne County West Nile Program will be conducting an ultralow volume mosquito control operation to reduce high populations of mosquitoes capable of transmitting West Nile Virus on Wednesday in parts of Edwardsville, Forty Fort, Swoyersville, West Wyoming and Wyoming boroughs, Hanover, Kingston and Plymouth townships and the city of Nanticoke. The treatments will be administered via truck-mounted equipment, spraying residential and recreational mosquito habitat. Certain mosquito species carry the West Nile virus, which can cause humans to contract West Nile encephalitis, an infection that can result in an inammation of the brain.
LUZERNE COUNTY
SCRANTON Ray Kemble hefted a 1-gallon water jug Monday filled with what looked like flat beer, except inside was water he drew straight from his kitchen sink in December. He said the water has gotten worse. Kemble, along with his colleague, Craig Stevens, today are to petition federal Environmental Protection Agency officials in Washington, D.C., to reopen an investigation into 33 water supplies in Susquehanna County. Natural gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, may have caused the water wells to be contaminated near a Cabot Oil & Gas well in Dimock Township, according to initial EPA reports. Cabot officials still deny their operations caused contamination. Stevens and Kemble stopped in Scranton on Monday on their way to EPAs Region 3 office in Philadelphia. They planned then to go to Washington todaywith the same request and petition. EPA investigators left Dimock more than a year
ago when they told residents the water was safe to drink, despite the rusty color, Stevens said. Stevens, 53, has stopped using his well water for drinking and cooking. The EPAs investigation did not intend to look at what caused possible contamination but rather whether the water is safe to drink, EPA spokesman David Sternberg said in an email. However, EPA documents leaked to the Los Angeles Times show that methane is at significantly higher levels in groundwater after gas drilling and may be a result of fracking and other gas field work. We conducted several rounds of sampling and the results did not indicate levels of contaminants that would give EPA reason to take further action, Sternberg said. While initial studies uncovered dangerous levels of manganese, barium and arsenic, all naturally occurring substances, when the EPA concluded research in Dimock, treatment systems were being installed to bring those contaminants to acceptable levels at the tap, he said.
EPA does not intend to conduct further water studies in Dimock, Sternberg said. State legislators advise Stevens to call the local state Department of Environmental Protection or the EPA, but he feels these agencies have dismissed his concerns. This is the agency that our elected officials say, Call them, theyre in charge. You call them theyre not interested, Stevens said. Northeast regional DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said that last March Stevens water was tested but not found to be contaminated. Connolly said Stevens does not live in Dimock and his case was not part of the investigation. She said his concerns are still being worked out with DEP, and anyone else with concerns can call. She said DEP lifted the order for Cabot to deliver fresh water to homes in Dimock because just about all of the households signed settlements or moved out. Kemble is the only Dimock resident who has not signed a settlement, Stevens said. Kemble leased his property with Cabot but has not received a royalty check in 2 1/2 years, Stevens said.

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, will host a U.S. Service Academy Day from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 20, at Dallas High School, 2000 Conyngham Ave., Dallas Township. This event is designed to provide information about the opportunities offered by the ve U.S. Service Academies.

NEWPORT TWP. He was wanted by parole. That was how Zireek Rahim Gardner, 22, allegedly explained a wild chase Saturday morning in which the Nanticoke man commandeered a friends car and, unfazed by the jolt of a police Taser, crashed the vehicle into a truck and then ran, leaving an injured man inside the crumpled Ford Taurus as he fled, according to a police affidavit. Gardner pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in 2009 in connection with the death of William Bentley, who suffered a heart attack after Gardner punched him
in the head during a fight outside Schiels Family Market in March of that year. Gardner was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by Newport Township Police Chief Jeremy M. Blank after the driver allegedly drove through an emergency response area on West Kirmar Parkway at about 4:40 a.m., ignoring flares and a police Gardner officers order to stop. Blank asked the driver to step outside, and asked her the names of her passengers. He asked the four passengers where they had been, and they replied that they were coming from Gentlemens Club 10. He
then asked for their names, to which Gardner gave a fake name, Blank said. The chief said he returned to the car to find Gardner had locked the rear door and was climbing toward the drivers seat. Blank said he was able to reach in and strike Gardner with a Taser, but Gardner managed to put the car in gear and drive away, toward an area filled with emergency personnel and utility crews due to an earlier crash. With Blank in pursuit, Gardner drove west at a high rate of speed, crashing into the back of a parked utility truck about a quarter
mile away, wedging the Ford Taurus beneath the truck, according to an affidavit. As Blank pulled up, Gardner climbed out of the drivers side window and ran. He was captured a short time later after falling over a guard rail. Gardner stated that he ran because he was wanted by parole, Blank wrote, which a records search later confirmed. A front-seat passenger, David Johnson Jr., was pinned in the wrecked Taurus and had to be extricated. He was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township, for injuries including a broken palate. The utility truck
driver, Larry Zoscin, was treated at Geisinger for neck and back pain. Gardner, who was bleeding from the head and complaining of chest pain, also was taken to Geisinger for evaluation. Gardner faces numerous charges, including reckless endangerment, flight to avoid apprehension, fleeing police, accidents involving injury, resisting arrest, false identification to police, careless driving, reckless driving and operating a vehicle without required financial responsibility. Following arraignment before District Judge Donald Whittaker, Gardner was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $100,000. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 28.
NATION & WORLD
IN BRIEF
Boston gangster Bulger found guilty

trate or carried out himself during the 1970s and 80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Bostons ruthless Irish mob. The racketeering charge also included acts of extortion, conspiracy, moneylaundering and drug dealing. After 4 days of deliberations, the jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes, as well as a laundry list of other counts, including possession of machine guns. Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, whitebearded Bulger. One woman in the gallery taunted Bulger as he was being led away, apparently imitating machine-gun re as she yelled: Rat-a-tattat, Whitey! Outside the courtroom, relatives of the victims hugged each other, the prosecutors and even defense attorneys. Patricia Donahue wept as the verdict was read, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunre while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger. Hes guilty of murdering my husband. Theres nobody that said that, his widow said. It brings out a lot of emotion, and when it nally happens, its kind of hard. Thomas Donahue, who was 8 when his father was killed, said: Thirty-one years of deceit, of cover-up. Finally we have somebody

WASHINGTON
Budget deficit high but improving

The government has reported a $97.6 billion decit for July but remains on track to post its lowest annual budget gap in ve years. Julys gure raises the decit so far for the 2013 budget year to $607.4 billion, the government says. Thats 37.6 percent below the $973.8 billion decit for the rst 10 months of the 2012 budget year. The Congressional Budget Ofce forecasts that the annual decit will be $670 billion when the budget year ends Sept. 30, far below last years $1.09 trillion. It would mark the rst year that the gap between spending and revenue has been below $1 trillion since 2008.
BOSTON James Whitey Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nations most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction upon hearing the verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transxed the city with its grisly violence but also exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship with its underworld snitches. Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts among them, 19 murders he allegedly helped orches-

guilty of it. Thirty-one years thats a long time. He said that when he heard the verdict in his fathers slaying, I wanted to jump up. I was like, Damn right. During the two-month trial, federal prosecutors portrayed him as a cold-blooded,
hands-on boss who killed anyone he saw as a threat, along with innocent people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then, according to testimony, he would go off and take a nap while his underlings handled the cleanup.
Ousted leader to be held for 15 more days

An Egyptian ofcial says a judge has ordered ousted President Mohammed Morsi to be detained for 15 more days, as investigations continue into charges that he conspired with Palestinian militants during the countrys 2011 uprising. The judicial ofcial says Judge Hassan Samir made his decision Monday while looking into accusations that Morsi colluded with Hamas to break out of the Wadi al-Natroun prison west of Cairo along with 33 other members of his Muslim Brotherhood group. Morsi has been held, largely incommunicado, since the military toppled him on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding that he leave. This is the second time his detention has been renewed. The rst was on July 26.

Prince injured in avalanche dies at 44

Johan Friso, the bespectacled Dutch prince who avoided the limelight and gave up his position in line to the throne after getting entangled in a scandal with his bride-to-be, died Monday 18 months after a skiing accident that left his brain gravely injured. He was 44. The royal house said the prince, known as Friso, died of complications from the accident, without giving more details. It said he had never regained more than minimal consciousness. Friso was struck by an avalanche while skiing off-trail in Lech, Austria, Feb. 17, 2012, and was buried until rescuers pulled him from the snow, unconscious, 20 minutes later. He was resuscitated at the scene and own to a hospital, but remained in a coma for months.
THE HAGUE, NETHERlANdS
TEHRAN, Iran Hard-line parliamentarians challenged Monday the Cabinet proposed by Irans new president, accusing him of nominating ministers who are friendly to the West or who back sedition against the countrys clerically dominated system of government. President Hasan Rouhani red back at his critics, saying he chose Westerneducated ministers based on their competence and that the country is tired of extremism. In what is expected to be three days of debate ending Wednesday, legislators will vote individually to approve or reject each minister in Rouhanis 18-member Cabinet. Hard-liners are using the debates to launch their rst major salvo against Rouhanis agenda since his election in a landslide victory in June, won with the backing of centrists and reformists. The new president has pledged to improve an economy ravaged by international sanctions through empowering technocrats and mending bridges
with the rest of the world. He took the oath of ofce on Aug. 4 and sent his proposed Cabinet list to the parliament the same day. Rouhanis victory he won an outright majority in the rst round of the vote, leaving all his rivals far behind gives him a strong mandate. But conservatives still dominate parliament. The core of Rouhanis team includes gures whose academic pedigrees run through places such as California, Washington and London. Rouhani himself studied in Scotland. Lawmakers implied they were trying to bring down Irans clerically dominated system, linking them to the 2009 street protests, referred to by hard-liners as sedition. A majority of the proposed Cabinet are either members of the seditious (group) or Western-educated gures, hardline lawmaker Ataollah Hakimi told the house. Why are you (Rouhani) seeking to revive sedition? Rouhani however suggested that the Iranian electorate, weary of economic hardships linked to sanctions imposed on Iran over its disrupted nuclear program, has endorsed his agenda.
Society is tired of extremism. Moderation is the path the nation has welcomed, he said. He said he named Western-educated ministers because of their competence to address both the impact of sanctions, which primarily target the oil and banking sectors, as well as mismanagement. He also said he would try to mend Irans foreign relationships. Even if the presidents picks are approved by parliament, it is unclear how much they could actually inuence Iranian policies and foster potential outreach diplomacy such as direct talks with the U.S. or possible breakthroughs in wider negotiations over Tehrans nuclear program. In Irans system, the president is usually tasked with managing the economy and has considerable inuence in all spheres of government. But senior clerics have nal say on all matters of state and direct control over security policy, including the nuclear program. The West says Iran wants to develop weapons technology, but Iran denies this and says its program is for peaceful purposes.
Man charged with murder in N.E.

Authorities in Rhode Island have charged a man with murder and kidnapping following a double homicide in Rhode Island that touched off a search for a missing toddler. Johnston Police Chief Richard Tamburini on Monday identied the victims as 40-year-old Evelyn Burgos and her daughter, 25-year-old Vanessa Perez. The two women were found shot to death early Sunday in a Johnston home. Burgos 2-year-old son, Isaiah Perez, was found unharmed Sunday night wandering through a Providence housing project. Daniel Rodriguez was arraigned Monday on two counts of murder as well as burglary, kidnapping and gun charges. He was apprehended Sunday and is being held without bail. Authorities say Rodriguez is Burgos boyfriend but not the boys father.

Immigration debate renews debate over fence

CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
Associated Press
LOS EBANOS, Texas If Congress agrees on a comprehensive immigration reform bill, it will probably include a requirement to erect fencing that would wrap more of the nations nearly 2,000-mile Southwest border in tall steel columns. But the mandate would essentially double down on a strategy that U.S. Customs and Border Protection isnt even sure works. And the prospect of the government seizing more land offends many property owners here in the southernmost tip of Texas, where hundreds of people already lost property during the last fence con-
struction spree. Im still totally against it, said Aleida Garcia, who was among the Los Ebanos residents whose land was taken back in 2008, when this hamlet surrounded on three sides by the Rio Grande was slated to get a U-shaped segment of fencing. Given the choice, Garcia said, she would rather have more agents patrolling the area. At least that would create some jobs, she added. The regions lawmakers appear to agree. Three Democratic congressmen from the Texas border who support immigration reform have announced that they would not support any bill conditioned on the construction of more border fence.

It doesnt do what proponents think it does, said Rep. Filemon Vela, of Brownsville, who resigned from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in protest.
Building more fence makes no sense to me. The fences backers say its a common-sense solution to keeping people from crossing the porous border.
NEW YORK The New York Police Department deliberately violated the civil rights of tens of thousands of New Yorkers with its contentious stop-andfrisk policy, and an independent monitor is needed to oversee major changes, a federal judge ruled Monday in a stinging rebuke of what the mayor and police commissioner have defended as a life-saving, crimeghting tool. U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin said she was not putting an end to the policy, but rather was reforming it. She did not give many specifics on how that would work but instead named an independent monitor who would develop reforms to policies, training, supervision, monitoring and discipline. She also ordered that ofcers test out body-worn cameras in the police precinct where most stops occurred. The citys highest ofcials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that ofcers are conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner, she wrote. In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting the right people is racially discriminatory. At a news conference a few hours after the ruling, Mayor Michael Bloomberg vowed to appeal it. We didnt believe that we were getting a fair trial, the mayor said. And this decision conrms that suspicion. NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the notion the police department engages in racial proling is recklessly untrue. For years, police brass had been warned ofcers were violating rights, but they nevertheless maintained and escalated policies and practices that predictably resulted in even more widespread Fourth Amendment violations, Scheindlin wrote in a lengthy opinion. She also cited violations of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Far too many people in New York City have been deprived of this basic freedom far too often, she said. The NYPDs practice of making stops that lack individualized reasonable suspicion has been so pervasive and persistent as to become not only a part of the NYPDs standard operating procedure, but a fact of daily life in some New York City neighborhoods. Scheindlin issued her ruling after a 10-week bench trial, which included testimony from NYPD brass and a dozen people 11 men and one woman who said they were wrongly stopped because of their race.

Nuangola targets Sept.15 date for finishing sewer

TOM HUNTINGTON
NUANGOLA The days of on-site sanitary systems in the borough are numbered. It was stated at Monday nights Sewer Authority meeting by Dan Loughran, project engineer for the Quad3 Group, that the Wexcon Co. is on target of meeting a goal of completion of the new sewer system by Sept. 15. Thereafter, as stated previously,
property owners will have 90 days to connect to the system and begin the process of abandoning their on-site systems. Under stipulations adopted unanimously by the authority, residents will be required to have their system pumped, cleansed with dehydrated lime and then lled with a compacting material (sand, stone or other material). No systems will be allowed to coexist with the municipal system. In the case of sand mounds, the
authoritys requirement, which coincide with state Department of Environmental Protection regulations, will be that the mound must be bulldozed and any material and piping contained within must be disposed of at a landll. Installation regulations were also approved, including the utilization of 4-inch PVC pipe, installed at a slope of 1/4-inch per foot, with threaded cleanout connections and the piping placed at a depth of no less than 36 inches below grade.
A 220 electrical line has been stipulated to provide service from a dwelling to a grinder pump. The pumps are located street side or at location designated by a property owner. Chairman Ray Shirk said detailed copies of these regulations will be mailed to all borough residents. It was also established that an inspection of all installations will be performed by the boroughs sewage enforcement ofcer, William Bilby. Biblys rate will be $22 per hour. During the public-comment por-
tion of the meeting, Mark Gandzyk of Nuangola Avenue said he has led a trespass action with the Rice Township, which proves law enforcement services to the borough, after a contractor entered his property beyond an established easement and installed piping that infringes upon his existing drain eld. Gandzyk said protests he registered with construction ofcials were disregarded, forcing him to take action. Gandzyk said the police are investigating.

Suspected gunman dies after bus shooting

HANOVER TWP. Commissioners will look into getting an overgrown stretch of land along Woodview Avenue cleaned up. Commissioner William Watkins asked Monday night if it was possible to cite the owner of the land because yard debris is cut down and left and it becomes overgrown again. Watkins said residents whose land borders the property are fed up and want it taken care of. Each year this goes on, said Watkins. Get it done. Housing and Maintenance Coordinator William Kunec said he wasnt sure if the owner of an undeveloped parcel can be cited. If the property had an improvement on it, such as a building and was neglected, he could then cite the owner, he said. Kunec said the owner of the property said a cleanup is planned shortly. Commissioners still directed Kunec to look into citing the owner. That could
lead to all overgrown parcels in the township being cited, he said. In other business, commissioners: Awarded a contract to Pennsy Supply for $74,814 to pave South Street. Popple Construction bid $80,440, Pikes Creek Site Contractors bid $101,468, American Asphalt Paving Co. bid $81,697 and Barletta Materials bid $96,970 on the project. Approved a motion to purchase 4,849 new recycling containers from T.M. Fitzgerald & Associates for $64,065. Approved a motion to pay $70,000 to Ed Krasavage Construction for emergency sewer work on the Solomons Creek FOP and Liberty Hills sewer line. Awarded a bid of $7,200 to Lombardo Trucking and Excavating to demolish a house at 7 Woodbury St. and a bid for $6,200 to demolish another house at 208 Laurel St. Liens will be placed on the properties if the owners do not reimburse the township the cost of the demolition within 30 days after receiving a bill.
SEATTLE A gunman barged onto a bus and shot the driver during rush hour in busy downtown Seattle on Monday, sparking a foot chase that ended when he ran onto another bus carrying about 15 people and was cut down when ofcers red through the windows, authorities said. The ofcers had to make a life-and-death decision about whether to shoot the suspect on the second bus, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Paul McDonagh said. I believe they made the right choice, he said. The wounded driver, 64-year-old Deloy Dupuis, was treated and released at Harborview Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said. Police said the suspect died at the hospital. His name was not immediately released. Two ofcers and several
passengers on the second bus suffered minor injuries, including a woman who was bruised while leaving the vehicle. One ofcer suffered minor cuts and another was taken to Harborview for treatment of an unidentied medical condition. The shooting began after three people boarded a King County Metro bus through the rear door as morning rush hour was ending. The driver asked them to come up front to pay, acting Seattle Police Chief Jim Pugel said. Two of the people reentered the bus through the front door and paid. The gunman, however, paced back and forth before hit-
ting and then shooting the driver in the torso and cheek, Pugel said. Two off-duty ofcers heard the disturbance. One gave the driver rst aid while the other chased the suspect. Other ofcers joined the pursuit, and the suspect aimed his gun at them and tried to enter two vehicles before climbing aboard a parked bus, where he was shot, police said. Pugel praised both ofcers and citizens for helping end the incident less than 10 minutes after it began. Ofcers were on the scene, they moved quickly, and they did their job, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said.
Four ofcers have been placed on administrative leave with pay, which is standard procedure in ofcer-involved shootings. King County Executive Dow Constantine said he met with the injured bus driver shortly after the shooting and is condent he will be OK. Dupuis rst question was about the status of his riders. He wasnt merely awake and alert. He was in good spirits and joking, Constantine said. The regional bus service, which carries about 400,000 people a day, falls under Constantines responsibility. He said the shooting was an isolated incident.

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas School Board took on personnel issues Monday night and heard about the importance of career awareness for students. The board unanimously approved the appointment of Lindsay Szalkowski, long-term substitute, specialeducation department; Christopher Bianchi, temporary professional employee, wellness teacher; and Scott Zedar, temporary professional, technology education. All three of these young people are extremely talented and grateful for this opportunity, said Superintendent Frank Galicki. Dallas School District seeks to employ only the best and the brightest, he said. In another matter, Galicki said he had met with members of the Luzerne Intermediate Unit to discuss the importance of career awareness as part of the curriculum. He said he found the discussion very refreshing. Dallas wants to prepare its students for a successful career path in the long term, he said. We intend to fully equip them for that success by assisting them in evaluating various options available to them beyond high
school. Nicole Darling, district career awareness coordinator, will work to fully implement this concept and to communicate with other community organizations, he said. Also, board member Colleen Slocum, sharing the legislative report, said the Pennsylvania School Boards Association is seeking input from local boards regarding about Common Core standards, related assessments and collection of student data. Galicki announced a meet your bus driver event on Aug. 20 in which students and parents are invited to meet with district drivers, ask questions and address any concerns, as the drivers do a morning and afternoon trial run. The next regular meeting of the School Board will be on Sept. 16 at 7 p.m.

TL tops state in boosting readership Woman gets jail

Audited Media. The company used total online and print reader numbers available at the end of March to create its rankings of the top 25 papers. The Times Leaders audience of 219,656 was up 19.4 percent from the year prior gure of 184,037. The Modesto Bee in California led the list with a combined audience of 402,971, up 23.6 percent on an annual basis. Only seven newspapers reported totals showing a year-over-year increase of double digits. Its a credit to the news staff of all our publications who gather and present content that is the most interesting, said Joe Butkiewicz, Times Leader executive editor. The staff also engages readers with social media channels, not just by having more but having relevant content. The only other Pennsylvania publications on the list were the Harrisburg Patriot News, which ranked 11th with an audience of 497,057, an increase of 4.3 percent; and the Philadelphia Inquirer, which rose 3.2 percent to nearly 2.1 million. The Alliance for Audited Media and Scarborough Research collected the data from participating newspapers, using the past seven days of print readers and the past 30 days of online readers as of March 31, according to Susan Kantor, a spokeswoman for the Arlington Heights, Ill.-based organization. She said the gures are based on the semi-annual publishers circulation numbers and an additional optional program newspapers can include using online readership that is gathered by Scarborough Research and audited by the Alliance for Audited Media. She noted that some of the gures reect branded editions of a newspaper. In the case of The Times Leader this includes weekly newspapers The Abington Journal, The Sunday Dispatch, The Dallas Post and Bazaar. It also includes the afliated websites for all those publications.
The Times Leader has the second highest percentage growth rate in the nation and highest in the state for its total online and print audience, according to gures tracked by a newspaper auditing group.

MLK Memorial may not be ready for anniversary

WASHINGTON Work to renish part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial where a disputed inscription was recently removed may not be done until after the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Executive architect Ed Jackson Jr. said Monday that a disagreement had
arisen over the past 10 days over how to sandblast and renish the stone where an inscription was recently chiseled away. He said the side of the memorials Stone of Hope has been left unnished because the main contractor, Worcester Eisenbrandt Inc., of Baltimore, doesnt have insurance to complete the sandblasting with steel
pellets, the way it was originally created. There are color differences now where words were removed, and a slight yellow stain was left on the stone Friday when workers tried an alternate process using walnut shells to blast the stone. Sculptor Lei Yixin, who created the memorial, traveled from China to do the
corrective work and plans to return home Aug. 20. Lei said sandblasting was always a crucial piece of the project, and he did not know how it was left out of the National Park Services contract. All we have done is kind of physical damage to the sculpture because we chiseled the inscription out, Lei said through his son, Ke Shi, who interpreted. The sandblasting is a way to restore the damaged surface to make those damaged surfaces look uniform
with the rest of it. National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson said ofcials agree the work must be done, but it may have to be part of a new contract because of government rules. The project may have to stop for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington on Aug. 28, when commemorative events are expected to draw big crowds. Scaffolding would be taken down, and work would resume later, she said.
GET YOUR ROOF ON BEFORE WINTER BEFORE SHINGLE PRICES INCREASE
WILKES-BARRE A 49-year-old grandmother of three was sentenced Monday to 11 to 23 months in county prison on a charge she brought drugs into a local state prison. Nancy Lynn Biglin, of Belmont Street, Carbondale, was sentenced on a single felony count of possessing contraband, Xanax, while visiting an inmate in the State Correctional Institution at Dallas in March 2011. I know I made a mistake, Biglin said, noting she is a mother of four and grandmother of three. Im very, very sorry. Biglins attorney, John Pike, said his client is the primary caregiver for her grandchildren, and requested his client receive work release as part of her sentence. County Judge David Lupas granted that request. Biglin must report to the county prison on Aug. 19 to begin serving her sentence. Biglin said she no lon-
ger has contact with the unnamed state prison inmate. According to the criminal complaint, on March 28, 2011, Biglin was visiting an SCI Dallas inmate, who is serving a 7 to 15-year prison sentence on robbery charges. Police said Biglin was in a prison visiting room with her left hand cupped after emerging from a bathroom. Police said Biglin could be seen putting her cupped hand into a bag of chips, and it was not cupped when she removed it from the bag. The unnamed inmate then is seen removing a yellow balloon from the bag and swallowing it. Police said they took the inmate into custody, where he admitted to swallowing four balloons, each containing ve Xanax pills. During the interview with the inmate, police said he voluntarily vomited two balloons, which were taken into evidence. Police said the pills tested positive for Xanax, a drug typically used to treat anxiety or panic disorders.

Laflin opens police-coverage bids,makes no decision

Proposals submitted by two neighboring communities
of mounting infrastructure costs, including an estimated $4 million in sewer work and road paving, Council President Paul Benderavich said last week. With only 637 homes, Laflin spends $330,000, or more than 40 percent of its $780,000 annual budget, on policing, Benderavich said. Council sought proposals to see what the service might cost if bid out, Sanguedolce said. Pittston proposed two options: Providing a dedicated officer to the borough for each shift, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for three years, starting at $205,000 in the first year and increasing by 3 percent each year, for a total of $633,634 over the life of the contract. Pittstons second option would not include a dedicated Laflin officer, instead providing two full patrols through each of the boroughs streets on each shift. Under that plan, Pittston would charge $95,000 in the first year and an additional three percent each of the following two years, for a total of $293,635 over the life of the contract. Jenkins Township also offered two options for 24/7 coverage a dedicated officer present in the borough vs. patrols with several variations: Coverage by dedicated officers using parttime staff, for $182,470 in the first year, vs. three full-time officers supplemented by part-time officers, at an estimated cost of $226,961. Coverage by twopatrols per shift, at a cost of either $121,647 for part-time personnel and $151,307 for full-time personnel in the first year. All of Jenkins ROGER DUPUIS
LAFLIN Two neighboring communities have submitted proposals for providing police protection to the cash-strapped borough, but officials said they have much research to do before deciding what the best course of action might be. Bids from Jenkins Township and the city of Pittston were opened by Laflin borough officials Monday afternoon, with the future of the local police department at the heart of a heated council meeting that drew dozens to the municipal buildings fire hall later in the day. While some borough officials stressed they had no plan to take action Monday night nor any specific plan to eliminate the department the proposal did not sit well with many who said they worried more about preserving safety than the cost of providing the service. This process was not designed, contrary to popular belief, to decimate the police department, borough Solicitor Sam Sanguedolce said before reading out the submissions. Borough Council is exploring disbanding its police force of three full-time and seven parttime officers because
Townships services would increase by 7 percent in the second year and 6 percent in the third year, according to their bid submission. Mayor Dorothy Shea
Yazurlo disagreed with the idea a local police force cannot be maintained, adding that local police not only keep a watchful eye on traffic but also have contributed $65,388 so far this year in fines through traffic enforcement.
Resident Ed Groves said the submissions didnt seem to save much money compared with maintaining a local force. We have a very low crime rate. We have a very safe community. We always have, Groves said.

HARRISBURG A Pennsylvania county court clerks decision to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples is a separation-of-powers violation that risks causing serious and limitless harm in Pennsylvania and beyond, according to a legal ling Monday by lawyers for the state Health Department and Gov. Tom Corbett. The ling in Commonwealth Court eshed out the Health Departments legal claim against Bruce Hanes, the Montgomery County orphans court clerk who has issued 116 marriage licenses to same-sex couples over the past three weeks. The administration said Hanes has a duty to follow state law that denes marriage as between a man and a woman and argued that county ofcials who out the law may be guilty of a misdemeanor for each act of neglect or refusal. The administrations lawyers argued that if a law directs government ofcials to do something, they cant disregard that direction simply because they believe it to be unconstitutional. Hanes began issuing marriage licenses after Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a fellow Democrat, announced she would not defend the states ban on same-sex marriage in a federal lawsuit. A spokesman for Montgomery County said its lawyers were reviewing the ling and had no immediate comment. A message left for Hanes was not immediately returned. Hanes has cited as justication for his decision this summers U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the federal government cant deny benets to married same-sex couples who live in states that allow same-sex marriage. The Corbett administration wants a judge to order Hanes to immediately cease issuing licenses to same-sex couples.

LOS ANGELES Imagine strapping into a carsized capsule and hurtling through a tube at more than 700 mph not for the thrill of it, but to get where you need to go. On Monday, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled a transportation concept that he said could whisk passengers the nearly 400 miles between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes half the time it takes an airplane. If its ever built. His Hyperloop system for travel between major cities is akin to the pneumatic Were here to take care of every detail. tubes that transport capsules stuffed with paperwork in tax & $16/person includes service charge older buildings. 64 Ridgway Drive, Dallas, Pa.

magnetic attraction. Capsules would oat on a cushion of air they create like an air hockey table in which the puck produces the air instead of the surface. To minimize friction from what air is in the tube, a powerful fan at the front of each capsule would suck air from the front to the rear. Short of guring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment, Musk
wrote in his proposal, posted online. On a conference call Monday, Musk said that if all goes right, it could take seven to 10 years for the rst passengers to make the journey between Californias two biggest metro areas. He put the price tag at around $6 billion pointedly mentioning that would be about onetenth the projected cost of a high-speed rail system that California has been planning to build. Like that bullet train, the Hyperloop didnt take long to attract skepticism.

OUR OPINION: RUNOff BasIN
A hole in the ground becomes costly joke

So, who owns basin blunder? Sundays 1A story in The Times Leader about back taxes owed for literally a hole in the ground at the Wilkes-Barre Township Commons retail center is the sort of asco that can make our region a laughingstock. A recap: There once was a 40-acre tract marketed for retail development. Government ofcials insisted that any construction include a run-off basin, a big hole designed to retain storm water to avoid ooding in nearby lower lands. The basin was built. The land owner sought to subdivide the place into seven lots, a logical move in attracting businesses except for one truly ludicrous part: The runoff basin was one of the seven lots. Who, you may ask, would buy a runoff basin? The answer is no one, and there in lies the asco. The current owner of the basin cant sell the lot, and more importantly, has no incentive to pay property taxes on it. Let the property go up for a back tax auction, and if it doesnt sell there, let it go into the county repository of abandoned properties. Almost anything that happens is cheaper than paying the tax bill of $303,052 (and climbing) since 2009. Who would buy a basin? was the obvious question the Wilkes-Barre Township Planning Commission should have asked before approving the subdivision. The basin may just hold excess water, but it is inextricably linked to the the other six lots. Subdividing it as a separate lot was a bit like putting your bladder up for sale. So what happened here? Perhaps Wilkes-Barre Township was so eager to see the money from retail development it rubber stamped everything that came before it. The fact that two planning commission members couldnt remember the decision-making process behind the subdivision supports that. Maybe small town ofcials were outmaneuvered by savvy business magnates. The basin is owned by RB Wilkes-Barre, apparently formed solely to subdivide and sell off the original 40 acre lot. RB and many of the companies that ended up buying the subdivided lots share an address with a single New York City corporation adding fuel the the notion that it was all a corporate shell game to boost prots and minimize liabilities (like, say, a run off basin). It could be a case of the county and township being behind the times technologically, as such basins are disappearing in favor of underground systems. Or it could be a case of the development being ahead of its time, as the completion of a a high-ticket (up to $15 million) drainage project would eliminate the need for the basin. Regardless of the reason, Luzerne County is now the place where you can come in, make millions developing an empty lot, and stick the locals with the tax bill for a hole in the ground.
COMMENTaRY: BaRRY BEDER
Managing stress in todays busy world

As summer comes to an end, many of us will be returning to a hectic schedule of school and kids activities. The end of summer also means shorter days with less sunlight and less time spent outdoors being active. And all of these factors can contribute to higher levels of stress. While a modest amount of stress may actually be good for us and help motivate us to complete tasks, too much stress can lead to a host of emotional and physical ailments. It can also cause a decline in Barry energy, focus, and efciency at home and at Beder Contributing work. So what can we do? Columnist The key to successfully managing stress is recognizing and accepting good stress the type that motivates us while minimizing bad stress. The rst step in that process is identifying your stress triggers, or what is creating your stress both good and bad. Some causes of stress are clear, such as deadlines at work, relationship and family problems, or nancial difculties. Things that you do as part of your daily routine, such as commuting, managing family schedules, and keeping up with to-do lists, can also create stress. Once you identify your stress triggers, you can start thinking about ways to better manage them so that they dont overwhelm you and create bigger problems. For example, perhaps one of your stress triggers is the morning hustle and bustle when everyone in the family is getting ready for work or school. Consider preparing as much as you can the night before, such as packing lunches, laying out clothes, making sure homework is done, etc. to better manage the morning stress trigger. Getting all the family members involved in the night-before preparations can also make the process easier and less stressful. Dont be afraid to ask friends or family members how they cope with stress triggers. Many people are dealing with the same pressures and stress in their lives work, family commitments, trying to make ends meet and how they deal with those pressures may help you, too. Many employers offer wellness programs as part of their employee benets to help with stress management. Employee Assistance Programs are a great resource for help coping with legal, nancial, emotional or family issues usually without any direct cost to the employee. For example, Blue Health Solutions, the wellness program available to group customers and members of Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, offers a Life-Balance Resource with 24-hour assistance for issues like stress, managing change and burnout. Be sure to nd out if an Employee Assistance Program is available to you and your households members.

OTHER OPINION: HOME MORTGaGEs
Time is right to unwind Fannie and Freddie

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as it turns out, were a pleasant ction. The quasi-government guarantors of mortgage loans seemed like a good deal during the years they helped guarantee the availability of affordable, long-term home loans without any apparent cost and, at times, with great private gain for their shareholders. But their true cost became all too real when the governments implicit guarantee of Fannie and Freddie was made explicit during the housing crisis. The Bush and Obama administrations pumped $188 billion in borrowed taxpayer money into stabilizing Fannie and Freddie, lest they collapse and turn the Great Recession into another Great Depression. Five years later, Fannie and Freddie have essentially crowded the private sector out of the housing market. They now guarantee nearly 90 percent of all home loans. President Barack Obama waded into this precarious situation with a proposal to gradually wind down Fannie and Freddie and replace them with a predominantly private nancing system for home mortgages. Though he did not go into great detail, his ideas more or less follow legislation drafted by a bipartisan group of senators. The idea is that Fannie and Freddie would lose their implicit guarantee of government backing and would gradually liquidate their portfolios. Instead, private investors would bear the primary risk for the mortgages they issue and would be required to carry enough capital to cover signicant losses. Meanwhile, a new government agency would regulate their activity and provide a backstop against losses. The agency would pay for itself through a fee assessed on mortgage-backed securities. Such a system would likely increase the cost of borrowing somewhat, but what that really represents is the actualization of the unstated (and unassessed) cost we as taxpayers have assumed for decades by implicitly backing Fannie and Freddie. Previously, the e xtent of that commitment has been vague. This plan would make it transparent. But as might be expected of any idea that has the backing of the White House and senators from both parties, it is likely dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The GOP majority there has no love of Fannie and Freddie, to be sure, but House conservatives want a much smaller role for the government in the housing market. There is certainly a case to be made that Washington went too far over the years in encouraging universal home ownership. However, theres a difference between re-balancing our housing policy and suddenly pulling the rug from under a sector that makes up a fth of our economy. What President Obama called the heads we win, tails you lose model of private prots and public obligation epitomized by Fannie and Freddie clearly needs to be reformed. But the government can and should play a constructive role in fostering the availability of affordable, longterm mortgages. We know that such a policy can be a key tool for building middle-class wealth; we just need to make sure its costs are clearly dened. The Baltimore Sun
YOUR OPINION: LETTERs TO THE EDITOR
Urge lawmakers: End property tax

Homeowners, Senior Citizens, Business Owners. Did you receive your school property tax? Did it show an increase? You can do something about it if you want to eliminate it. Its time for you to take action. There are two bills in Harrisburg , HB and SB 76 elimination of school property tax that has been introduced. Unfortunately we have two stubborn bulls who are trying to stop these bills from being introduced on the oor for a vote. They are Majority Leader Mike Turzai and Finance Committee Republican Chairman Kerry Benninghoff. Phyllis Mundy is Finance Committee Democratic chair. We have 89 co-sponsors in the House and 22 co-sponsors in the senate. We need a few more co-sponsors. This is the course of action you can take: Call your elected ofcials that are not co-sponsors and demand them to co-sponsor and vote for these bills or write them a letter. In our area we have Mundy (570283-9622), Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski (570-825-5934), Senator John Blake (570-207-2881), Senator John Gordner (570-784-3464). Tell them to be a co-sponsor, no excuses.

Work week
From page 1A Consolidating personal, sick and vacation days into a single allotment for any use with no option to carry over unused days from year to year. The committee asked county Manager Robert Lawton to further review this proposal because he doesnt want a plan that will allow workers to take off all these days without advance notice and manager approval. Committee Chairman Jim Bobeck said the proposal to switch to 37.5 hours, not including lunch breaks, will be presented to council tonight but will be reviewed by the county solicitor before a vote. Lawton stressed any workforce standards adopted by council must be negotiated into union contracts and may not be fully implemented in upcoming contracts or even subsequent contracts. The countys American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, union, which represents three groups of county workers, criticized the proposals in its recent newsletter in an article titled, Strategic (or Destructive) Initiatives Committee. The article questions if the county intends to pay more for increased hours and whether performancebased raises would be fairly awarded. So, seniority means nothing, the article says, adding, Their decisions would never be biased or subjective in nature??? Really??? The article also predicts union members would lose days in a switch to combined leave and give up the option to build up a cushion of unused sick days in case they suffer a prolonged illness. County employees receive anywhere from 10 to 18 sick days depending on their position and hiring date. The union sees this as bargaining before we even get to the bargaining table, the article says. Dont be fooled. Wake up. Grow up. Stand up. AFSCME has one union contract expiring the end of this year with the 300-member residual unit that includes 911 dispatchers, clerks, typists and other rank-and-le workers. Residual members work 32.5 hours except Road and Bridge and 911 employees, who are at 40 hours. Union head Paula Schnelly said the negotiating process will start when the union and county exchange their proposals, which should begin next month. Were looking to move forward in September. Were just awaiting dates from the county, Schnelly said. Employees in four other expiring contracts wont be affected by the work hour change because they are already at 37.5 or 40 hours 278 prison workers represented by LIUNA Public Service Employees Union Local 1310 and 300 workers in Aging, Children and Youth and Mental Health and Developmental Services covered by Teamsters Local 401. The Teamsters contract covering roughly 50 assistant district attorneys/public defenders, which also is expiring, does not specify the required hours for full-timers. Teamsters head Pat Connors said he will reserve his comments for bargaining sessions, which should begin in October. We will give every proposal consideration. Hopefully, they will do the same, Connors said Monday. Prison union leader Thomas Borum could not be reached for comment Monday. The prison and assistant district attorneys/public defenders have the right to binding arbitration, while the other unions have the right to strike.
Holder
From page 1A Under the changed policy, the attorney general said defendants will be charged with offenses for which accompanying sentences are better suited to their individual conduct, rather than excessive prison terms more appropriate for violent criminals or drug kingpins. Holders comments drew bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he is encouraged by the Obama administrations view that mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders promote injustice and do not serve public safety. Paul and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., introduced legislation in March to grant federal judges greater exibility in sentencing all crimes where a mandatory minimum punishment is considered unnecessary. Leahy commended Holder for his efforts on the issue and said his committee will hold a hearing on the bill next month. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said he looks forward to working on the issue with Holder and senators on both sides of the aisle who support change. The impact of Holders initiative on mandatory minimum sentences could be signicant, says Marc Mauer, executive director of the Sentencing Project, a nonprot group involved in research and policy reform of the criminal justice system. There are roughly 25,000 drug convictions in federal court each year and 45 percent of those are for lower-level offenses such as street level dealers and couriers and people who deliver drugs, said Mauer. The unanswered question is how each of the 94 U.S. Attorneys Ofces around the country will implement changes, given the authority of prosecutors to exercise discretion in how they handle their criminal cases. African-Americans and Hispanics likely would benet the most from a change. African-Americans account for about 30 percent of federal drug convictions each year and Hispanics account for 40 percent, according to Mauer. If state policymakers were to adopt similar policies, the impact of changes at the state level could be even broader, said Mauer. Currently, about 225,000 state prisoners are incarcerated for drug offenses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. One national survey from 15 years ago by the Sentencing Project found that 58 percent of state drug offenders had no history of violence or high-level drug dealing. These proportions on state prisoners may have shifted somewhat since that time, but its still likely that a substantial proportion of state drug offenders fall into that category today, said Mauer. Federal prisons are operating at nearly 40 percent above capacity and hold more than 219,000 inmates with almost half of them serving time for drug-related crimes and many of them with substance use disorders. In addition, 9 million to 10 million prisoners go through local jails each year. Holder praised state and local law enforcement ofcials for already instituting some of the types of changes Holder says must be made at the federal level. Aggressive enforcement of federal criminal laws is necessary, but we cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation, Holder said. Today, a vicious cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration traps too many Americans and weakens too many communities. However, many aspects of our criminal justice system may actually exacerbate this problem, rather than alleviate it. Holder said mandatory minimum sentences breed disrespect for the system. When applied indiscriminately, they do not serve public safety. They have had a disabling effect on communities. And they are ultimately counterproductive. Holder said new approaches which he is calling the Smart On Crime initiative are the result of a Justice Department review he launched early this year. The attorney general said some issues are best handled at the state or local level and said he has directed federal prosecutors across the country to develop locally tailored guidelines for determining when federal charges should be led, and when they should not.

Kidnap victim was not aware kidnapper had killed her family
The Los Angles Times
Route 309
From page 1A provided by PennDOT. For motorists, what this will mean is all trafc funnelled into one side of the divided highway during portions ot the work, which will be undertaken in at least two different areas along the roadway, Taluto said. Exactly when work will begin wasnt known on Monday, Taluto said, but the project is likely to start in the next few weeks, and certainly within a month, he said. The busy state highway, once part of the U.S. highway system, stretches for more than 130 miles from Philadelphia north through the Lehigh Valley, into the Wyoming Valley and north into Wyoming County. Taluto said that getting the word out early was important to give motorists a heads up about what they will soon encounter, and the need for the work. We want to make sure that drivers are aware of the upcoming project, and remind them of how important it will be to drive carefully during the duration of the work, he said. While information about this project was not yet online as of Monday night, regular updates about construction and road conditions across the state can be found at www.511pa. com.
SAN DIEGO For six days, Hannah Anderson was at the mercy of her kidnapper, a family friend who spirited her away to the Idaho backcountry in a blue Nissan Versa. He carried a rie. He made threats. But he never told her about the gruesome scene he left in San Diego County. Not until FBI agents gunned down James DiMaggio and began to interview Hannah did she learn the fate of her mother and younger brother, authorities said. DiMaggio, they said, killed them on his sprawling property near the Mexican border before setting off with Hannah, 16, and his gray cat. Although authorities have released few details of the teens ordeal, they said Monday that she played no part in the killings. Earlier in the search, they had been uncertain whether she went with DiMaggio willingly. I want to emphasize that during our law enforcement interviews with Hannah, it became very clear to us that she is a victim in every sense of the word in this horric crime. She was not a willing participant, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore told reporters. Although the investigation is ongoing, he said, authorities may never be able to piece together the reason for DiMaggios rampage. When you get a completely irrational act like weve seen here with two murders and a kidnapping, sometimes you might not be able to come up with a rational explanation, Gore said,
adding that when FBI agents cornered DiMaggio, he red at least one shot. Hannah has returned to San Diego County, where she will receive counseling, Gore said. Her father, Brett Anderson, who lives in Tennessee, told reporters that his daughter needed privacy to deal with her grief. The healing process will be slow, he said, wearing a T-shirt with a photo of his blond, blue-eyed daughter. She has been through a tremendous, horric ordeal. DiMaggio, a 40-year-old telecommunications technician at the Scripps Research Institute, was close enough with the Andersons that the children called him Uncle Jim. At least one of Hannahs friends said DiMaggio told the teenager he had a crush on her, which made her uneasy. On the night of Aug. 4, investigators said, he asked the family to come to his home in Boulevard, about 50 miles east of San Diego, so he could say goodbye before he moved to Texas. It was a ruse, authorities said. DiMaggio killed Christina Anderson, 44, possibly by striking her with a crowbar; authorities discovered her body in his detached garage. They also found DiMaggios two-story log home engulfed in ames with the body of 8-year-old Ethan Anderson inside. Apparently, Hannah had been elsewhere on the large, weed-choked property. There was just no way that she would have been aware that her mother and little brother were dead, Gore said in an interview. Late on Aug. 5, the case became the
rst in California to trigger an Amber Alert of a suspected child abduction through the states cellphone network. Within days, the hunt for DiMaggios Nissan spread to much of the West. An avid outdoorsman who had recently purchased backpacking equipment, DiMaggio sought refuge in Idahos Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, a daunting stretch of rocky, pine-dotted terrain. Two couples on horseback stumbled across DiMaggio and Hannah near Morehead Lake on Wednesday and rode away thinking something was amiss. The girl was wearing what looked like pajama bottoms. The man was petting a cat. They just didnt t, said Mark John, one of the horseback riders, who called authorities after returning home and seeing the girls photo on TV. I seen a lot of fear in her eyes and I didnt like what I seen in his eyes, John said on Good Morning America. Authorities scoured that patch of wilderness, and on Friday, they unearthed DiMaggios Nissan from a tangle of logs and branches near a remote trail head. The cars license plates had been removed, but authorities linked it to him via its vehicle identication number. The next day, about six miles away, U.S. marshals circling the area in a plane saw DiMaggios tent. Two FBI hostage rescue teams hiked to the campsite and waited. When DiMaggio and the girl separated, they moved in. When DiMaggio saw the FBI agents, he red once, possibly twice, with his rie. They returned re, killing him.

Dufner makes most of 2nd chance in major

DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
timesleader.com
Tuesday, August 13, 2013 PAGE 1B
PITTSFORD, N.Y. Jason Dufner doesnt have the same set of skills as Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott, though his career has shared the same path from a memorable collapse at a major championship to redemption in pretty short order. And in this sport, redemption doesnt always come easily. Just ask Dustin Johnson or Thomas Bjorn. Theres an even longer list of players who gave away majors in the nal hour and never so much as earned another shot, such as Ed Sneed or Mike Reid. There was reason to believe Dufner might be part of the latter group. Go back just two years to Atlanta Athletic Club to nd Dufner standing on the 15th tee with the PGA Championship in his hands. He was four shots clear of Anders Hansen and ve ahead of Keegan Bradley, who had just made a triple bogey on
the par-3 15th. What followed was painful to watch. Dufner hit into the water and made bogey on the 15th. He hit into a bunker right of the 16th and made bogey. He hit the middle of the 17th green and still made bogey with a three-putt. Bradley answered with back-to-back birdies to catch Dufner, and then beat him in a playoff. Maybe looking back 10, 15 years from now, Ill feel disappointment that I let this one get away if I never get another chance, Dufner said that day. He was certain there would be more opportunities. But then, everyone feels that way. McIlroy had a four-shot lead at the Masters in 2010 and shot 80 to tie the record for the worst score by a 54-hole leader. He vowed to learn from his mistakes, and it was the shortest lesson in major championship history. He won the very next major by setting the U.S. Open record of 268 at Congressional for
an eight-shot win. That wasnt a huge surprise. McIlroy is a special player. More agonizing was watching Scott make bogey on the last four holes at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, turning a four-shot lead with four holes to play into another British Open title for Ernie Els. Scott promised he would do better the next time. He truly believed there would be a next time, and he waited only two more majors to win the Masters. Dufner didnt have that pedigree. When he threw away his shot at the PGA Championship, he had never won on the PGA Tour and never cracked the top 30 on the money list. At age 34, it was only his second year playing all four majors. Would he ever get another chance like that? Yes. And when he least expected it. That experience in Atlanta served Dufner well in the short term. He won twice on the PGA Tour the next
year. He made the Ryder Cup team and went 3-1. And his popularity as the guy with no pulse took off when he was caught by a camera slumping against the wall, zoned out, while sitting next to elementary school children learning about focus. On the golf course, however, his game was ordinary. He was an afterthought at most tournaments. His only top 10s were in the U.S. Open and Bridgestone Invitational, and he didnt have a chance to win either one. Without warning, his opportunity arrived at Oak Hill when he produced the 26th round of 63 in a major to take the 36-hole lead, and at least got into the last group. Dufner executed his game so beautifully on Sunday that he made the last two hours about as exciting as he looks. But it was the blueprint for winning this major. With a two-shot lead over Jim Furyk going to the See DUFNER | 5B

Rivera in a rut for first time in career

HOWIE RUMBERG
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK So this is what the ninth inning must be like sometimes for the other 29 teams that do not have the luxury of calling on Mariano Rivera. The career saves leader has spoiled the New York Yankees, rarely slipping up in 17 years as their closer. But last week, the 43-yearold baseball sage stunned a generation of fans by blowing three consecutive save opportunities for the rst time in 721 chances. Since Rivera took over as New Yorks closer in 1997, there have been 29 other occasions when a pitcher went through such a stretch, according to STATS. Rivera said Monday the problems have nothing to do with fatigue or age. Instead, he said, its his delivery. Rivera said hes not repeating his release point and has left pitches up to some pretty good hitters. Theres a lot left in the tank, he assured. Plus, Rivera can draw upon a lot of previous success. Blown saves arent part of his repertoire, especially not three in a row. At least its the rst time, Rivera said Sunday after Detroit dented him. I just try to go out there and do my job.

STATE COLLEGE Penn State receiver Allen Robinson prefers to let his play speak for him. Facing the prospect of the Nittany Lion offense being led by a rst-year quarterback, however, the junior wide receiver said hes trying to be more vocal. Im not too much of a vocal leader. I lead more by example. Im starting to become a little more vocal, just to make sure our offense is rolling, Robinson said. Last year it was a lot of (quarterback Matt) McGloin doing it. With the playmakers we have on the eld, I would say were all trying to be more vocal just to make sure the quarterbacks feel comfortable. Last year at this time, McGloin didnt need comforting. He was the brash, vocal leader of the Penn State offense. Robinson was a quiet wideout just trying to get noticed. A year later, McGloin has graduated, to be succeeded by either redshirt sophomore Tyler Ferguson or true freshman Christian Hackenberg. See ROBINSON | 5B

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT Little League Baseball plans to introduce an educational program for coaches and volunteers intended to raise awareness about the use and dangers of performance-enhancing drugs among young players. Working with the Taylor Hooton Foundation, Little League hopes to have an online program ready for the 2014 season. The youth sports organization had been in discussions with the foundation for more than a year about such a program, well before Major League Baseball announced suspensions recently for more than a dozen players following a lengthy investigation into a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing PEDs. The most recent batch of suspensions handed down Aug. 5 came less than two weeks before the start of the Little League World Series, which See LITTLE LEAGUE | 5B
Four months later, the Philadelphia 76ers have a new coach. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday the Sixers have hired San Antonio assistant Brett Brown to replace Doug Collins, who resigned in April. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move has not been ofcially announced. New general manager Sam Hinkie took quite a while looking for a replacement before choosing Brown, who was part of three NBA title teams with San Antonio. The 52-year-old Brown was an assistant under Gregg Popovich since 2002. He also coached the Australian mens national team from 2009-12, and played a key role in helping Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker develop into All-Stars with the Spurs.
Brown is the franchises 24th coach and eighth since Larry Brown resigned in 2003. Brett Brown inherits a team completely rebuilding. Hinkie, who was hired away from Houston, traded All-Star guard Jrue Holiday to New Orleans on draft night for the rights to Kentucky center Nerlens Noel. Hinkie also drafted Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams with the 11th overall pick in the rst round. Collins stepped down after the Sixers went 34-48, a year after advancing to the Eastern Conference seminals. A season that began with promise after the acquisition of former All-Star center Andrew Bynum unraveled quickly, and Bynum never played a game in a Sixers uniform because of knee problems.

Darvish flirts with no-hitter versus Astros once again

to close out Los Angeles and get a win for Huroki Kuroda, who tossed three-hit ball for eight shutout innings. Rivera was given the night off after blowing three straight save chances, including one Sunday. Fans chanted We want Mo! after Boone Logan relieved to begin the ninth and allowed a leadoff single in the ninth to J.B. Shuck that hit rst base. Rivera was not even seen in the Yankees bullpen in the ninth. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the game that he wanted to give Rivera a night off after the career saves leader pitched three times in the past ve days.
Twins 3, Indians 0
HOUSTON Yu Darvish was nearly perfect against the Astros once again, taking a nohit bid into the eighth inning and striking out a career-high 15 to lead the Texas Rangers over Houston 2-1 Monday for their eighth straight win. Darvish dominated the Astros until Carlos Corporan homered with one out in the eighth inning for Houstons only hit. Until the homer, Houstons lone runner came when rookie Jonathan Villar drew a two-out walk in the sixth on a full-count pitch. Texas catcher A.J. Pierzynski was ejected for arguing with plate umpire Ron Kulpa on ball four, a breaking pitch he called low. In early April, Darvish (12-5) was one out away from a perfect game at Minute Maid Park before Marwin Gonzalez singled between his legs.

the ninth inning for his 28th save in 32 tries to hand the Cubs their third straight home shutout loss. They have gone 32 2-3 innings without a run at Wrigley Field.
White Sox 6, Tigers 2
TORONTO Alberto Callaspo hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the ninth inning as Oakland beat Toronto. Callaspo, who had a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning of Sundays 6-4 win, broke a 1-all deadlock with a bases loaded double off Toronto closer Casey Janssen (4-1). The decisive hit redeemed Callaspo for an error hed made in the bottom of the seventh that allowed the Blue Jays to score the tying run. The Athletics had lost six of seven before arriving in Toronto, but took three of four from the lastplace Blue Jays. Oakland entered play Monday one game behind AL West leader Texas.
yankees 2, Angels 1
MINNEAPOLIS Andrew Albers threw a two-hitter in his second career start and Minnesota backed him with a pair of home runs to beat Cleveland. Albers (2-0) allowed just two singles, walked none and struck out two. Brian Dozier and Trevor Plouffe homered to help the Twins win for the eighth time in 11 games. Prized prospect Danny Salazar (1-1) gave up three runs on three hits with three walks and ve strikeouts in four innings. The slumping Indians have lost seven of their last eight and are in danger of sliding out of the playoff chase.
Reds 2, Cubs 0
Chicago Chris Sale scattered nine hits in his third complete game of the season, and the White Sox overcame Miguel Cabreras fourth homer in four games. Josh Phegley, Gordon Beckham and Alexei Ramirez singled in runs in a three-run fth inning as Chicago handed AL Central-leading Detroit its third loss in four games. Beckham and Jeff Keppinger each had three hits. Phegley added a second RBI single and Alejandro De Aza hit a sacrice y in a two-run eighth that put away the game. Sale (8-11) struck out six and walked none, winning his second straight start after going 1-9 in his previous 11.

Mesa earns IL honor

The Times Leader staff
The International League ofce announced on Monday that S cranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders outelder Malky Mesa was selected as the I.L. Batter of the Week for Aug. 5-11. He is the fourth RailRider to receive a weekly honor, joining pitchers Vidal Nuno (April 15-21) and Chien-Ming Wang (May 27-June 2) and outelder Zoilo Almonte (April 29-May 5). Mesa led the International League on the week with 12 hits, three homers, 11 RBIs and seven runs scored while nishing second with both a .429 batting average and a .857 slug-
ging percentage. Mesa collected multiple hits ve times in the week, including each game from Thursday through Sunday. It marked his rst string of four straight multi-hit performances since a Sept. 2-4, 2011 run that included a doubleheader with Double-A Trenton. He drove in a season-high ve runs during a 7-3 win Friday night in Buffalo, highlighted by a second-inning grand slam. Mesas three-run homer on Sunday was No. 12 this season, third-most on the squad. Mesa, 26, in his 10th professional season after signing with the Yankees as a free agent, has played eight games in the Major Leagues since the start

Enterprises, LLC and any related companies have never asserted and do not assert that Albert Pujols has ever used steroids or any other type of performing enhancing drug. In his statement on Friday, Pujols said he planned legal action to send a message that you cannot act in a reckless
manner, like they have, and get away with it. As of Monday no lawsuit had been led by Pujols in U.S. District Court in St. Louis, or in state court in Missouri. Mihlfeld told ESPN .com that Clarks comments are simply not true. I have known Albert Pujols since he was 18 years old, and he would never use illegal drugs in any way. Slaten said Monday he plans to sue over his termination. He said he didnt know why he was let go. All I said is what Ive said for years, Slaten said. Its always been my belief that Pujols is using, but its just my opinion. Clark told the newspaper he was weighing a lawsuit. A telephone listing for Clark could not be found. A spokesman for the Albert Pujols Foundation in St. Louis referred calls to Pujols agent.
Trout wants a 1-and-done punishment for PED users

working hard every day and doing it all-natural. Trout, 22, has emerged as one of the faces of baseball, so his comments resonate, but there wasnt unequivocal support of them within his clubhouse. Teammate Josh Hamilton said he agrees with Trout in wanting to rid the game of PEDs, but couldnt support a oneand-done punishment, given that he has beneted from reprieves. Fortunately, Ive been given second chances, but for different reasons, said Hamilton, who revived his career in 2008 during an ongoing battle with drug and alcohol addiction. He signed a $125 million contract with the Angels before this season. I think people get caught up in things and make mistakes. Hamilton suggested the leagues current drug policy is fair and its penalties stiff enough. Nelson Cruz, Hamiltons former Rangers teammate and close friend, was among the 13 players suspended last week after the Biogenesis probe, along with Rodriguez. Id say 95 percent of the guys in the league want an even playing eld, Hamilton said, and MLB and the Players Association have done a good job of getting together and, for the most part, getting things under control and weeding guys out. Trouts comments came just hours before his team faced the Yankees, with Rodriguez, who in 2009 admitted to PED use in 2001-03, and last week was issued a lengthy suspension for his alleged part in the Biogenesis scandal. Rodriguez is playing while he appeals the suspension.

Shanahan nixes Griffins plan of wanting to play in preseason

JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
RICHMOND, Va. The opposing wills of a headstrong coach and an equally headstrong franchise player faced off again Monday, with Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan rebufng Robert Grifn IIIs latest lobbying effort to play in the preseason. Shanahan also said he has no private deal with Grifn about playing in Week 1 of the regular season, as implied by the quarterback. As far as Grifns statements about neither liking nor fully understanding Shanahans practice plan for the QB, the coach reiterated that its not his job to do everything to Grifns liking. First of all, I love it when somebody wants to play, I love it when somebody wants to be out there, Shanahan said. Thats a good problem to have as a head coach. But my job is to make sure we do the best thing for Robert. Not to necessarily to do what he likes, but to do whats the best
thing for him and this organization. My job is to get him ready for the rst game, and thats what were hoping can do. Shanahan spoke about six hours after Grifn. The to-andfro is the ongoing fallout from the playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks in January, when Grifn clearly reinjured his right knee yet remained in the game. He didnt want to take himself out, and Shanahan left him in until the knee nally gave out, leading to reconstructive surgery. Grifn never hesitates to remind everyone that the coach made a mistake that day, and Shanahan is equally determined to not to repeat it, even if it makes Grifn unhappy. The coach he could have brought Grifn back three weeks ago. I could (have brought) Robert back three weeks ago, Shanahan said. We could be sitting here right now, him practicing three or three weeks ago and all of a sudden something happens with that ACL and were sitting here saying,

Well, we shouldve waited an extra week or two. Shanahan has allowed Grifn to run 7-on-7 drills during training camp but not full 11-on-11s, saying that the unpredictability of those plays could lead to sudden movements that could reinjure Grifns knee. Grifn was psyched about getting to run his rst 11-on-11 plays on
Tuesday, saying it would make him feel like a football player again. However, Shanahan said Grifns 11-on-11 work wont start until Wednesday and that it will be only a couple of reps to help the team prepare for Saturdays game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Grifn is so anxious to play that he suited up in full pads for last weeks preseason
opener even though he knew he wouldnt take the eld. Lets get that straight: I want to play in the preseason, Grifn said. Coaches are saying if things go great these next couple of days and next week, then maybe. But its a hard no right now. Its my job to make that a soft no and possibly a yes. Its still a hard no. The coach said theres no possibility Grifn will play in the preseason. He said Dr. James Andrews, who performed Grifns surgery, recommended that the QB not play in the preseason and not practice at full-speed. Grifns news conference began with a new catchphrase new phase, new hair because he was wearing cornrows instead of his usual dreadlocks. He said hes proven he can protect himself, and that hes dang near close to 100 percent. He said he didnt like that his practice plan was xed ahead of time without any regard as to how his knee was progressing in rehab. Like Coach said hes 100
percent right I dont have to understand it, Grifn said. I dont have to like it. But at the end of the day, if he plays me Week 1 and Im ready to go, then Ill give him a salute and Ill go play my butt off for him. Grifn said he had a private understanding with Shanahan about going along with the practice plan as long as it led to starting in Week 1. There is no arrangement, Shanahan countered. Our game plan is to play him Week 1. But if theres a setback, we might not be able to play him Week 1. Maybe not til Week 5 or 6. If theres no setbacks, hell be ready. Hes going to have to trust me there. The public song-and-dance will continue until Grifn plays, and maybe beyond. Grifn even took to Twitter to clarify when he had said at his news conference minutes earlier. There is no friction, he tweeted. There is an understanding between coach and player. That is all. Dont have to like everything.
Rivera
From page 1B since Rivera became the Yankees closer, according to STATS. The Yankees have had only one other stopper reach that mark: Rafael Soriano, who lled in when Rivera tore up his knee in May 2012 and missed the rest of the year. I dont know if weve had anybody on the mound I dont think there is any relief pitcher that has been on the mound thats even close to what hes done with the longevity, the consistency and ability to perform as Mariano has, Angels manager Mike Scioscia. The ve-time World Series champion announced during spring training his intention to make this season his nal one. And Rivera has made a smooth return after being injured for most of last year, soaking up his nal moments in ballparks around the country. At most every stop, opposing players and fans have reached out to be around him, to hear his every word. He was the MVP at the All-Star game, with AL teammates-for-aday eager to soak up his wisdom. Rivera did his part, too, using his trademark cut fastball to push his career saves total to 643 by crisply converting 35 of 37 chances with a 1.56 ERA. That is until last Wednesday, when Riveras rut began in Chicago. Entering the ninth with a one-run lead over the White Sox, he got two quick outs before allowing a double. Rivera then yielded a tying single to Adam Dunn for only his third blown save this season. Rivera recovered to pitch the 10th, his rst two-inning relief outing in two years. The mound woes continued in the ninth inning Friday in the Bronx when, in an epic matchup, Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera tagged him. Cabrera hit a tying, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth for Detroit that shocked the sellout crowd. Still, unlike in many ballparks around the big leagues where closers are routinely berated after a couple poor outings, Yankees fans treat Rivera with reverence. Hes rarely even given them a
Little League
From page 1B is scheduled to begin Thursday. Thousands of coaches, along with young players and their families are expected to visit South Williamsport during the 11-day tournament, and foundation president Don Hooton plans to attend, too, to spread his awareness message in person. This is a teachable moment. Ever parent, every coach should take the opportunity of all these suspensions to sit down and talk to your kids about why they shouldnt be involved in performance-enhancing drugs, Hooton said in a recent phone interview. His 17-year-old son Taylor a cousin of former big league pitcher Burt Hooton committed suicide in July 2003. Doctors attributed Taylors behavior to depression that occurred when he stopped using performance-enhancing drugs. More than 2.4 million boys and girls play Little League baseball and softball, according to the organization that also has roughly 1 million volunteers. The Hooton Foundation works with Major League Baseball, as well as local athletic leagues. A program with Little League would give the foundation an even broader audience. We are extraordinarily excited about this, he said. As much work as weve done over the past 10 years, this offers the largest single audience to our message, to reach out at one time. Citing various studies, Hooton has estimated 1 million to 1.5 million adolescents in the United States have used steroids. A separate study released in May jointly commissioned by the foundation, the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society said that American adults ranked steroid use among adolescents as less of a problem than alcohol, bullying, marijuana and sexually transmitted diseases. The survey of 1,002 adults conducted by The Gallup Organization last fall found that 97 percent of the respondents believed steroids caused negative health effects, while just 19 percent thought steroid use was a big problem among high school students. The study developed by University of Massachusetts researchers had a margin of error of 4.3 percent.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera delivers in the ninth-inning of a baseball game against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday in New York. Although Rivera blew a save allowing consecutive home runs to the Tigers Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez, he still earned a win when the Yankees Brett Gardner hit a walk-off, solo home run in the bottom of the ninth and the Yankees won 5-4.
AP photo
reason to doubt: Rivera has blown back-to-back saves tries in the same season only 10 times in his career, according to STATS, and one came in 1996 when he was John Wettelands setup man. So when the bullpen gate opened Sunday and Metallicas Enter Sandman kicked in over
the stadium sound system, the crowd stood and showed its appreciation with another roaring ovation. Hes earned it, my gosh, Scioscia said. Riveras former catcher and current manager Joe Girardi certainly isnt worried. When asked after
Sundays game a walkoff win over Detroit how concerned he was about Riveras struggles, Girardi held up his right hand and used his ngers to make the shape of a zero. Its not like you forget how to pitch in a week, Girardi said. He just had a bad week.
Robinson
From page 1B Robinson is looking to build on what was arguably the best season any Penn State wide receiver has ever had. The Southeld, Mich., native caught 77 passes for 1,013 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. Those numbers earned Robinson rst-team allBig Ten honors. After the year he had last year, this year, including the summer, he denitely just took more of a leadership role, tight end Kyle Carter, himself a rst-team all-Big Ten choice, said at Nittany Lions media day last week. I think hes denitely being more vocal, as well. You can denitely tell on the practice eld and even in meetings. The more he does it, the more comfortable hes going to get. Wide receiver Alex Kenney said that of the many upperclassmen who have tried to ll the leadership void left by McGloins departure, Robinson stands out. Hes a great leader. If hes not vocally leading, hes going to lead by example. Hes a great guy to follow, he said. In addition to calling attention to himself in practice with his new leadership role, Robinson gures to draw lots of attention from opposing defensive coordinators with his new status as one of the countrys elite receivers. Part of the added attention he probably will receive, youre probably right, is the fact that weve got other guys that can catch the football, coach Bill OBrien said. Weve got, obviously, other receivers. Weve obviously got some talented tight ends. Weve got guys in the backeld that can catch the ball. Like he did as the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, OBrien has continued to make tight ends a key component of his offense at Penn State. And he has a stable of big, talented targets with which to complement Robinson and the receivers. Carter (6-foot-3, 243 pounds) caught 36 passes for 453 yards in just nine games. He missed the nal three games after suffering a wrist injury. Matt Lehman (6-6, 262) caught 24 balls for 296 yards and James (6-7, 257) caught 15 passes for 276 yards. True freshman Adam Breneman (6-4, 235), the top-ranked tight end in the country out of Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill, Pa., could be another option if he doesnt redshirt this season. Hes another guy for a freshman thats a very instinctive, smart player. Like all freshmen, they have a long way to go, but what weve seen from Adam is that hes got a good skill set in the passing game, OBrien said. Hes tough. Hell block. And hes smart. He can play both Y and F. We have two tight end positions, and he plays both of them. Still, according to Carter, Robinson will be crucial to creating openings for the tight ends to ourish. Hes a guy who can take the top off the coverages. Were just trying to make it easier for him because hes going to be the one getting the doubles, he said. Were the ones who are going to get single coverage, so weve got to make plays for him to make plays.

From page 1B back nine, he matched scores with Furyk on every hole the rest of the way even bogeys on the last two holes for a 68 to win by two. Bjorn appeared to have the 2003 British Open wrapped up until it took him three shots to get out of a pot bunker next to the 16th green and he nished one behind Ben Curtis. Bjorn didnt get another look at a major until the same course Royal St. Georges eight years later. He nished fourth. Johnson already has let three chances get away in the majors, the most memorable his 82 in the nal round at Pebble Beach in the 2010 U.S. Open. He also had trouble recognizing a bunker on the 18th hole in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits that cost him a spot in a playoff, and he was closing in on a claret jug a year later until his attempt to lay up with a 2-iron went out-ofbounds. Johnson is the type who will be there again. Dufner could not afford to waste another opportunity, especially not one that came along this quickly. The guy who doesnt show any emotion also has thick skin. He has been bantering with Bradley on Twitter the last two years, and Dufner has taken his share of the needle. Thats what made him appreciate his win at Oak Hill all the more. He always jabbed at me a little bit about having one of these in his house, Dufner said, sitting next to the Wanamaker Trophy. And now Ive got one, too. Its pretty neat to come back and win a PGA, to be honest with you.

AP National Writer
PITTSFORD, N.Y. Jason Dufner walked off the 18th green, after casually pumping his sts in what passed for a raucous celebration. There was a familiar face waiting for him. The last time they met in this situation, it was Keegan Bradley accepting the Wanamaker Trophy. This time, it belonged to Dufner.
Granted, it was two years later than it should have been. That only made it sweeter. Im proud of you, Bradley said, giving his buddy a hug. Thanks a lot, Dufner replied. It means a lot for you to be here. With ice in his veins and a determination not to let another opportunity slip away, Dufner claimed his rst major title with a two-shot victory over Jim Furyk in

the PGA Championship on Sunday. There was a certain symmetry to the way it went down, for Dufner to get the biggest win of his career in the very same tournament that produced his biggest heartache. On a Sunday afternoon in 2011, Dufner strolled to the 15th tee at Atlanta Athletic Club with a fourshot lead in the PGA. He promptly dumped his ball in the water, while Bradley started making birdies up ahead. By the time they had both nished 72 holes, it was all even. Bradley, of course, won the playoff. Dufner kept insisting he would get another chance. I was probably over what happened in Atlanta, 95 percent of it, by the time we got back home, he said.

Summer a great time to grab a Pens jersey

JOHN MEDEIROS
jmedeiros@timesleader.com
COLLECTORS CORNER
Since we made sure to lead off this column with heroes from our local professional baseball team, its only fair to step onto the ice and look for something Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins. Its not really a big time for hockey auctions, as out-of-season selling can impact market value. That makes it a big time for a clearance sale and theres few bigger than the annual MeiGray Summer Sale. MeiGray has emerged as perhaps THE source for game-used hockey items, holding working agreements with the NHL, AHL and ECHL. Collectors often turn to them for authentications or histories of items, as they keep an inventory of all NHL jerseys since 2002. OK, so what are they offering in their Summer
Sale? Well, until Sept. 6, you can pick up jerseys for up to 50 percent off their list price at www. meigray.com. When it comes to the local Penguins, there arent many jerseys included in the sale. Lets face it, WBS Penguins are especially loyal to the Black and Gold, and the organization does a good job turning out jerseys to fans through charity auctions and such. There are only ve jerseys left eligible for the sale conditions. All are $247.50 before discount, except for Rob Schremps No. 44, which lists for $347.50. Your best bet is to nd former WBS Penguins who have left the organization. For example, theres a number of Tom Kostopoulos Calgary Flames jerseys for $225. Same price for Luca Caputis Toronto Maple Leafs sweaters.
An Eric Tangradi Penguins jersey can be found at J&J Distributing.
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader file photo
Not into hockey? Meigrays sale extends to other options on their site. Philadelphia Eagles fans can see well over 100 items offered at 50 percent off list, including game jerseys,
throwbacks, pants and helmets.

Where the Pens are
To nd your favorite Penguins players jersey, your best bet is J&J Distributing.
The western Pennsylvania company has been selling Penguins game-used jerseys and equipment for more than 20 years. Like MeiGray, J&J is having a sale. This one began last Friday and has no posted end date, though it is found under the weekly sale items tab of the website, jjdistributing.biz. Theres plenty of great nds rookie camp, preseason and gameissued jerseys for $150 or less. A game-issued jersey is one where the player didnt actually play an NHL game in it, but may have participated in the pre-game skate while wearing the jersey. Theres also plenty of great buys for regular season, playoff and Winter Classic jerseys in the sale, with about a dozen still remaining listed at J&J. If youre looking for Eric Tangradi, Mark Letestu, Derek
Engelland or others and want a Penguins crest instead of a aming C this is a great place to look. Just digging through the $100 bin (discounted rookie camp sweaters), you can find Jonathan Filewich, Luca Caputi, Keven Veilleux, Tim Wallace and oth-
ers. These are official Pittsburgh Penguins jerseys that were worn during the summer training session held for rookies in Pittsburgh. With the average souvenir jersey hitting triple digits in price, why not get a piece of your favorite Penguins players career?

IN BRIEF
A musical bidding war is under way

Steinway Musical Instruments Inc. said Monday that an investment rm has offered to pay $38 per share, or about $477 million, for the piano maker, topping an earlier bid from Kohlberg & Co. The Waltham, Mass.-based company identied the new potential buyer only as an investment rm with more than $15 billion under management. Steinway had agreed to sell itself to investment rm Kohlberg & Co. in July for $35 per share, or about $438 million. Kohlberg has until Wednesday to negotiate with Steinway and lay out a better bid. Otherwise, the deal between it and Steinway will be terminated and the musical instruments maker will agree to be bought by the other rm.
Mexico proposes private firms in oil industry

MEXICO CITY Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto is making the most daring gamble yet of his 8-month-old presidency with a proposal to lift a decadesold ban on private companies investing in the state-run oil industry, a cornerstone of Mexicos national pride thats seen production plummet in recent decades. The reform outlined Monday proposes prot-sharing with private companies. That is currently prohibited by the constitution, which would have to be changed. The leftist Democratic Revolution Party says it wont support constitutional changes but Pena Nietos ruling Institutional Revolutionary lower Chamber of Deputies. The measure then would have to be approved in 17 of the countrys 32 state legislatures. Mexicans will remain the sole beneciaries of the countrys oil prots, Pena Nieto said as he presented his proposed reform. Its time to use all of our energy resources to move forward and transform Mexico. Pena Nietos administration offered virtually no details about how it envisioned private participation in the national oil company, Pemex, instead emphasizing an accompanying measure that would allow private companies to produce and sell electricity for home and business use. Pena Nieto said that would lower consumer prices that are far higher than in many other countries. Pena Nieto said private companies would be able to bid for prot-sharing contracts to explore and extract oil and apply for permits for rening and transportation. The private sector will be able to contribute and this will lead to lower prices, said Gerardo Gutierrez Candiani, head of the private Business Coordinating Council. Its a historic plan that will allow us to get to where investment is going where it should be. That will denitely be reected in Mexicans pocketbooks. Pushing through the reform without the lefts support comes with big political costs: Polls show at least 65 percent of Mexicans oppose any private investment in the oil industry, which was nationalized in 1938.
Mexicos President Enrique Pena Nieto, right, shows to the audience his proposal that would allow private firms to participate in the oil industry as his Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong applauds in Mexico City on Monday.

Soupmaker looking to sell Euro brands

Campbell Soup says its in nal negotiations to sell its European business to private equity rm CVC Capital Partners for an undisclosed sum, the latest move by CEO Denise Morrison to reshape the company. The proposed sale includes the companys soups, sauces and other products that are sold under a variety of names in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany and Sweden. The deal, which is not yet nal, doesnt include products in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Middle East or Africa, or the export of its Pepperidge Farm baked goods. The announcement is just the latest structural change for the soup maker since Morrison took over two years ago. Morrison has vowed to right the companys struggling canned soup business in the U.S. and has been moving to diversify the company with the type of fresher products that are growing in popularity.

Japan economy up just 2.6 percent for quarter

Fruit company to go private
Dole Food said Monday its CEO will take it private, in a deal that values the company at about $1.21 billion. Dole shareholders will receive $13.50 per share, a 5 percent premium to its $12.81 Friday closing price. This is a sweetened bid for the fresh fruits and vegetable business, up from the $12 per share Chairman and CEO David Murdock offered in June. Dole currently has about 89.9 million outstanding shares, according to FactSet. The company put the transactions total value at about $1.6 billion, which includes debt.
TOKYO Japans economy grew a slower-than-expected 2.6 percent last quarter as companies wary over the prospects for a sustained recovery kept a tight rein on investment. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, the worlds third-largest economy grew 0.6 percent in April-June from the previous quarter, the Cabinet Ofce said Monday in its preliminary estimate. Japans public debt surpassed the $10.4 trillion mark last week and the country needs a strong recovery to boost tax revenues enough to begin reducing its debt burden. Analysts had forecast annualized growth of 3 percent or higher for the quarter. The economy expanded at a revised 3.8 percent pace in January-March. The weaker data will likely raise pressure on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to push ahead with reforms he has promised to help improve Japans competitiveness and sustain growth in the long run. It might also encourage the government to postpone a planned increase in
sales tax. Masamichi Adachi, an economist at JPMorgan in Tokyo, said public spending did not rise as quickly as planned in the April-June quarter so extra money for projects in the pipeline will likely boost growth in the coming months. We can expect accelerated spending in the latter half of the year, he said. This is decent enough to say the Japanese economy is maintaining solid momentum. If forecasts for a continued falloff in growth in the current quarter are accurate, however, the calls for more radical reforms are bound to build, as investors watch for signs that Abes Abenomics strategy can really fuel a lasting recovery from years of stagnation. The data show the strongest contribution to growth last quarter came from public spending and exports, while private investment weakened. Many of Japans corporations have enjoyed higher prots due to the yens fall against other currencies, boosting the value of their overseas earnings when they are counted in yen terms. The recovery
Japans economy grew at a slower-than-expected rate of 2.6 percent last quarter, suggesting demand has been slow to pick up despite strong public spending and ultra-lax monetary policies.

BlackBerry weighs putting itself up for sale

TORONTO Struggling smartphone maker BlackBerry will consider selling itself. The company said Monday its board has formed a special committee to explore strategic alternatives in hopes of boosting the adoption of its BlackBerry 10 smartphone. The company said its options could also include
joint ventures, partnerships, or other moves. BlackBerry Ltd. has been hammered by increased competition from its Apple and Android-based rivals. In January, BlackBerry unveiled new phones running a revamped operating system called BlackBerry 10 designed to better compete, but its market share continues to lag. BlackBerry also announced Monday that board member
RUSSELL 2000 1,053.67
Prem Watsa, the companys largest investor, resigned from the board due to potential conicts that may arise during the process. Watsa has said hes a big supporter of current CEO Thorsten Heins, and he would be an obvious bidder for BlackBerry. He has said he believes BlackBerry can turn itself around, but it might take three to ve years. Hes the founder of insurance company
Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and is one of Canadas best-known investors. The BlackBerry, pioneered in 1999, had been the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people and other consumers before the iPhone debuted in 2007 and showed that phones can handle much more than email and phone calls. The company faced numerous delays modernizing its operating system with the
BlackBerry 10. During that time, it had to cut more than 5,000 jobs, and shareholder wealth declined by more than $70 billion. Mondays announcement marks the second time Blackberry has said it has hired bankers to help weigh its options since Heins became CEO in early 2012. Heins had said then he was not actively looking to sell BlackBery, but said he wanted to be prepared.

Greater Pittston La Leche League: Meets today and the second Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. in the Lain Borough Building, 47 Lain Road, Lain A breastfeeding class will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, 1000 East Mountain Drive, WilkesBarre. A breastfeeding class will take place at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Hazleton General Hospital, 700 East Broad St., Hazleton. Breast-feeding basics will be taught from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 4 at the Thomas P. Saxton Medical Center, 468 Northampton St., Edwardsville. 2000, only 35 percent of moms nursed for six months and 16 percent nursed for a year. Muendlein recommends that nursing continue as long as both parties mother and child want to continue and said 99 percent of new mothers should be able to breastfeed. In the cases of the 1 percent who cant, she said, its usually because the baby is allergic to milk. But babies who can and do breastfeed are rewarded with a boost in immunity and a decrease in the risk of ear infections, diarrhea, eczema, asthma, obesity and diabetes later in life. Findings recently published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association also indicate they tend to have higher IQs. While some manufacturers of infant formula try to make their product resemble mothers milk as much as possible, Muendlein said, breast milk is the gold standard. See NATURAL | 2C
Belkis Tores of Hanover Township tenderly cuddled her newborn as little Kenneth, 1 day old and hungry, drank from her breast. This is the natural way to feed a baby, the way she fed her three older children, and she is happy to be able to do it. It is best for the health of the baby, her husband, Frankel Castillo said, translating for her last week at Hazleton General Hospital. It helps them grow and keeps them from getting sick, he said with a glance that encompassed 3-year-old Amaia, who was smiling at her baby brother as if he was her new, 7-pound doll, as well as 11-year-old Emil and 9-yearold Joseph, who grinned and said they couldnt remember ever being that small. Breast-feeding offers health benets not only for babies but for mothers, as it reduces their risk of certain cancers and fosters the mother-child bond, said registered nurse Courtney Muendlein, one of two certied lactation counselors at Hazleton General who help and advise new parents. Youll produce colostrum for the rst three days, and then the milk will come in. Its denitely enough for the baby, Muendlein told Tores last week, reassuring her the baby is getting enough nourishment. Thats why we keep track of the diapers. We can see hes getting enough by checking the pooping and peeing. Breastfeeding is on the rise in the United States., with 77 percent of new mothers nursing their newborns and nearly half continuing to do so for at least six months, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDCs 2013

Breastfeeding Report Card nds the proportion of mothers who nurse their babies at all increased signicantly between 2000 and 2010
and that the duration of nursing increased steadily as well. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies consume nothing but
breast milk for six months and that after they start eating solid foods they continue to nurse until their rst birthday. Mothers seem to be fol-
lowing this advice: In 2010, 49 percent of mothers were breastfeeding at the six-month mark, and 27 percent were still doing so after one year. In

are e-cigarettes a good idea? the debate continues

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Electronic cigarettes embraced by users as a healthier alternative to smoking or a good way to quit are picking up steam. Theres little research on how safe they might be or whether theyre an effective strategy for kicking the habit, but more people are giving e-cigarettes a try every day. About one in ve adult cigarette smokers in the United States had tried electronic cigarettes in 2011, nearly twice as many as in 2010. Sales reached nearly $500 million in 2012 and are expected to double to $1 billion this year. As the market grows, even tobacco companies are jumping on board. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. launched its Vuse electronic cigarette this summer in Colorado. Altria Group Inc., parent company of the nations largest cigarette
MILLIONS STILL SMOKING

An estimated 43.8 million people, or 19 percent of adults, in the United States smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, accounting for more than 440,000 deaths annually. From Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maker, Philip Morris USA, will soon debut its product, MarkTen, in Indiana. Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are a smoke-free alternative to the traditional paper cigarette. The most basic version, one that could be mistaken for an actual cigarette, is comprised of a liquid cartridge attached to a white cylinMadVapes store manager Robert Everhart demonstrates use of an electronic cigarette to customer Stephen Bates of Belmont.

WHATS AN E-CIGARETTE?
Electronic cigarettes contain avored nicotine vapor instead of smoke. They appeal to smokers who want to kick the habit but have struggled with gums or patches. The current iteration of the e-cigarette is credited to a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik, who patented his product in 2003. Researchers urge caution because little is known about the long-term effects but concede that e-cigarettes may be better for current smokers than traditional cigarettes. Typical electronic cigarettes range from around $10 for a standard e-cigarette that requires replaceSee CIGARETTES | 2C

ene glycol (a common chemical used in many in food products), vegetable glycerin, avoring and nicotine. The composition can vary greatly by manufacturer.

product, such as a patch or gum, has met standards of safety and effectiveness, said Dr. Anne Joseph, a tobacco researcher at the University of Minnesota. For now, e-cigarettes are in a gray area and are not regulated as tobacco products or medical devices, even though they share similarities with both product categories. Joseph adds that electronic cigarettes may not be all bad for current tobacco users, with a couple of important caveats: Nonsmokers shouldnt start, and e-cigarette consumers should use them only with the goal of quitting. Theres a lot scientists still dont know. That includes the actual chemical exposure that users receive compared with traditional smokers intake; the way vaporized nicotine is absorbed by the body; and the effects of secondhand vapor. States and local governments are having to revisit clean indoor air laws, and thats important for a couple reasons, Joseph said. One, we dont know what they are emitting into the air. Also, she worries that use of e-cigarettes will undermine years of antismoking campaigns that have taken cigarettes out of public places.
www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER Compared with traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes appear to have fewer toxins, but the impact of e-cigarettes on long-term health must be studied, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in February. E-cigarette use is growing rapidly, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, said in a statement at the time. There is still a lot we dont know about these products, including whether they will decrease or increase use of traditional cigarettes. Katie Forster, who had tried to quit smoking with nicotine gum and patches, recently bought an e-cigarette. I did a lot of research about the safety, said Forster, 26, who works for an accounting rm uptown. And if Im picking between a cigarette and an (e-cigarette), its the lesser of the two evils for me.

Although prices vary, pre-lled liquid cartridges, each lasting about as long as a pack of cigarettes, usually cost a few dollars, and bottles of avored e-liquid range from a few dollars to more than $10 depending
on size. But as the market grows, little conclusive research has been done to determine the health effects of inhaling a nicotine-laced vapor. The e-liquids themselves are not required to meet any federal standards, though the FDA is expected to exercise its regulatory authority over the products later this year. Approval by the FDA means that a nicotine

From page 1C For women who breastfeed, there is a reduction in the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, said Muendlein, who would like to see more workplaces provide a space where women could breastfeed their children or express their milk for later use. Hazleton General does provide such a place for its employees, Leigh Ann Weidlich of the public relations staff said. Muendlein and her counterpart, registered nurse Sadie DelPais, encourage women who want to breastfeed to attend a prenatal breastfeed class or join the postpartum breastfeeding support group they are starting. Our discussions will range from going back to work or school, to breastfeeding one baby with a second on the way, Muendlein said. The Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center and Wyoming Valley Medical System also offer breastfeeding classes, and members of the Greater Pittston La Leche League, which meets at 10 a.m. today at the Lain Municipal Building, also are available to offer support and advice. At Geisingers Janet Weis Childrens Hospital in Danville, theres even a Donor Milk Program to provide human breast milk to babies in need. Funded by the Childrens Miracle Network, it is designed to help babies in the Neonatal Intensive Car Unit whose mothers milk might be unavailable or insufcient. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for newborns, especially for premature and seriously ill infants, neonatologist Dr. Constance Andrejko said in a press release. (This program) will improve the lives of our most fragile patients.

FORT WORTH, Texas No matter what it is youre eating, theres something almost magical about deep-fried fair food. It can be as simple as a corndog or a candy bar. It can be as unconventional as butter or cactus bites. The menu gets interesting when the food comes out of a deep fryer. Just ask Abel Gonzales Jr. and Butch Benavides, a couple of State Fair of Texas champions whose legendary experiments with fryers straddle the ne line between genius and madness. If youre thinking about having a sensible dinner, a steak is always good, a lobster is high-end and a salad is delicious and healthy for you, Gonzales says. But when you deep fry something, you make food fun. Thats certainly the case in Destination Americas new travel-and-food series, Deep Fried Masters, a giddy celebration of mutant meals that are battered and browned to a golden crisp. The series, which airs at 10 p.m. EDT Mondays, treks across the country and tests the culinary inventiveness of talented cooks as they serve suchdeep fried delicacies as bacon jam hotdogs, mac and cheese and lemonade. People want to try something thats new and different and unique, Benavides says. Thats why the deep-fried movement, if you want to call it that, has taken off.

Just call Abel Gonzalez Jr. the deep-fried master, in tribute to his show of almost the same name.
My whole philosophy is to take something thats really obvious and simple and deep fry it. Then, when it comes out of the fryer, you think, Oh, my God, how did somebody not already think of this? How is this not already out there being sold somewhere? Abel Gonzalez Jr.
Gonzales, a Dallas native, is famous for creating such crazy concoctions as fried cookie dough, fried jambalaya and fried butter seriously, fried butter! Benavides, also born and raised in Dallas, introduced the world to deepfried Snickers on a stick, fried bacon cinnamon rolls and fried cactus bites. Along with Jim Stacy, an Atlanta cook who is world famous for the quality of his corndogs, Gonzales and Benavides are judges on Deep Fried Masters. Each week, the show pits eight fry-happy cooks in a battle to win bragging rights and a Golden Corndog statuette. Mondays episode took viewers to Texas. But instead of the State Fair in Dallas, the unofcial capital of deep-fried food, the show went Fiesta San Antonio, where such fried items as ribs, cheeseburgers and lemonade were on the menu. Benavides says his favorite deep-fried invention while serving as judge was a fried red-velvet funnel cake. I really enjoyed eating that, he says. It was super good. Gonzales was partial to the helping of deep-fried French fries and brisket. It was outstanding, he says. And it was so obvious. My whole philosophy is to take something thats really obvious and simple and deep fry it. Then, when it comes out of the fryer, you think, Oh, my God, how did somebody not already think of this? How is this not already out there being sold somewhere? Well, how do you not combine French fries and brisket? It was the perfect idea, the perfect deep-fried food. Thats the one that impressed me most. After all these years
of deep fried masterpieces, one would think that people have run out of the eureka ideas by now. But Gonzales, a former computer programmer whose success at making deep-fried novelties now allows him to enjoy a life of semi-retirement, working only during the weeks of the Texas State Fair, says the sky is the limit when it comes to deep frying. Every year, you think, OK, everythings been done. Somebody came up with fried butter, which is basically frying fat. Where can you go to top that? he says. But the next year rolls around and your mind starts going again and you go, Oh, I have it. This is going to be delicious once it has the crust on it and once it hits the fryer. There is no end to the ideas. Ive always believed that, and now, especially after being a judge on this show and seeing all the different fried items that people keep coming up with, I know it for a fact.
Dont just watch a movie, experience it!

Extreme workouts part of a growing trend in gyms

MARY MEEHAN
Lexington Herald-Leader
LEXINGTON, Ky. The 15 women and one man are all steadily focused on the task at hand: survival. This HIT high-intensity training class at FIT Studio in Lexington, Ky., is part of a national exercise trend. While the idea of extreme fitness has been around for several years, its recently come into more public view. Even the most slacking couch jockey is aware of the movement thanks to a seemingly never-ending techno beat of late-night commercials touting DVDs for such intense works outs as P90X and Insanity. P90X, which a promotional website describes as sweatinducing, muscle-pumping exercises designed to transform your body from regular to ripped, includes a 12-disc program and nutrition advice. The Insanity program is described at its home page, BeachBody. com, as the worlds most insanely tough work out. Submit a before-andafter picture to the company and you get a free Insanity T-shirt. All the programs work on the same general principle, said Angie Green, a certified trainer for Beach Body, the company behind the programs. The idea is that extremely intense, short

workouts focus specifically on different muscles for several minutes followed by a shorter break. Good, good, good, that stays up, that stays up, said FIT Studio instructor Allison Perry. Members of the HIT class at FIT launch, in one fluid move, from a low lunge to a high kick, then back down slapping one hand on the ground. Her pleasure at their progress is fleeting. She soon issues another challenge: How far back can you lunge? There are no groans, only measured breathing and thwack of palms on plastic as they push through. Ive taken a lot of classes, Ive run in a minimarathon, and HIT is probably the hardest class
I have ever been to, said Allison Justice. A school psychologist, she is taking classes at three gyms and is also running. But, initially, she swore she wouldnt take a second HIT class. So did nearly everyone else. After the first one we were all like, I am never going to do that again, she said. But when you leave and you think, I have just made it through the hardest hour of my life, you feel really good about it and you want to go back and try it again. Another pull toward the short-lived torture?
You can start seeing changes in your body, she said. Shes lost 30 pound since the spring. As the class moves on, even the most hardcore falter slightly. Cold rags are fetched from the lobby, and at least one squeamish-looking HITter makes a quick visit to the restroom. But they dont stop. Not even after Perry demonstrates near the end of the class a move she calls the Spider-man crawl, which basically involves mimicking the way Spider-mans body moves up a wall with-
out the help of the wall. The look on the faces of the women, even Justice, who cheerfully grinned pretty much the whole time until now, is just a flicker of disbelief at what Perry is asking. Then it is on. Extreme fitness is no joke, said Green, the trainer of trainers who stresses modified ways to do the same move to match various fitness levels. You have to learn to listen to your body and go at your own pace, she said. Anyone who has underlying health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure should check with a physician before attempting any strenuous work out effort, said Dr. Scott Black, medical director of employee health work with sports medicine. And even if you were once an awesome athlete,
if you have been out of the game for 20 years, dont jump into a super intense workout, he said. Black, a runner himself, said people need to think about what they want to achieve from an exercise routine. These are not one-size-fit-all programs. And, he said, if you start exercising after a long absence, a monitored or organized program might be better than sweating alone in your basement to a DVD. Green said she always encourages newcomers to come to class with a friend and introduce themselves to the instructor so they can help modify exercises to suit their fitness levels. High-intensity training, he said, can raise the risk of injury, so people need to pay attention to their limits. Strains and sprains are the most
common injuries, he said, but muscle soreness the next day is almost guaranteed. He said the American College of Sports Medicine, (acsm. org) is a good source of information on fitness. Kellie Dryden said she has been exercising a long time. High-intensity training really pushes my endurance and everything I am used to doing. It is a challenge and thats what I like about it, she said. If I get close to throwing up and I did in this class I just stop and take a breath and get a drink of water and calm down, she said. So far I havent seen anybody throw up yet. Its not exactly a love/ hate relationship she has with the program, but, This one I have to psych myself up to do, she said. I really, really have to psych myself up.

Based on laboratory wear simulation testing, the LEGION Primary Knee System with VERILAST Technology is expected to provide wear performance sufficient for 30 years of actual use under typical conditions. The results of laboratory wear simulation testing have not been proven to predict actual wear and performance in people. A reduction in total polyethylene wear volume or wear rate alone may not result in an improved clinical outcome as wear particle size and form are also important factors in the study of the potential for wear caused by loss of calcium from bone and implant loosening. These other factors were not studied as part of the testing. There are potential risks with knee replacement surgery such as loosening, fracture, dislocation, wear and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Do not perform high impact activities such as running and jumping unless your surgeon tells you the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device failure, breakage or loosening may occur if you do not follow your surgeons limitations on activity level. Early failure can happen if you do not guard your knee joint from overloading due to activity level, failure to control body weight or accidents such as falls. Knee replacement surgery is intended to relieve knee pain and improve knee functions. Talk to your doctor to determine what treatment may be best for you.

Family tradition is in their blood

COURTNEY PERKES
The Orange County Register
SANTA ANA, Calif. Every eight weeks, Jerry Wilcox and his son Jeremy roll up their sleeves to do some good while catching up. They each donate a pint of blood to Childrens Hospital of Orange County, Calif., a family tradition that started six years ago. Its something that is fun to do, said Jeremy, 31. I look forward to seeing my dad and helping out in whatever way we can. Jerry, 59, a business software engineer, began donating his A-negative blood to the Red Cross in 1972. He switched to the hospi-
tal in 2006 after his daughter, a high-school teacher, told him about a pediatric cancer patient who needed blood. He asked Jeremy if he wanted to join him. Its kinda neat, Jerry said. My dad used to donate with the Red Cross. Maybe I got started because of his inuence. Last year, the childrens hospital collected 67 percent of the blood needed to transfuse patients. The remainder came from other blood banks. Donations typically drop during the summer because of vacation and other activities, said Matthew Cianciulli, manager of blood and donor services.
Ultimately, wed like to be fully self-sufcient, he said. The blood bank collects an average of 200 pints a month but needs closer to 300, Cianciulli said. He said he appreciates consistent donors like the Wilcoxes. I think its awesome that they dedicate that amount of time and it just becomes part of their lifestyle, he said. Its an easy way to give back to the community. Not everyone can make nancial donations with the economy, but giving blood is something the majority of people can do but dont. Last week, Jeremy, an attorney, walked from his ofce in Orange, Calif., to the blood bank. He can see the hospital from his ofce window.
I see where my blood goes, Jeremy said. I know the sick kids are getting some benet from what I do. It makes me feel good inside. Jerry drove from his ofce in La Palma, Calif. They sat next to each other in big, padded recliners and talked about a relatives wedding, a helicopter rescue and an upcoming birthday party. We just visit, Jerry said. Its just another opportunity to get to see each other. It gives us a chance to talk when not a lots going on except sitting here with needles in our arms, Jeremy said. Sometimes we subconsciously race to see who nishes rst. We keep track of how fast our bloods owing.
Jeremy Wilcox, left, squeezes a rubber ball to increase blood flow while a nurse prepares his father, Jerry Wilcox, for donating blood as well in Orange, Calif. They coordinate their schedules and regularly donate blood at the same time, a tradition theyve kept since 2006.
Jeremy, a father of two, donated his AB negative blood for the rst time as a teen. It was either him or Mom

Awkward questions about sons adoption dont deserve any answers

Dear Abby: My husband and I have two wonderful sons who joined our family through adoption. While we dont broadcast that they are adopted, it sometimes comes up in conversation. When it does, people inevitably ask, What happened to their real parents? or, Why were they given up? I know folks are curious, but these comments are hurtful. I do not want to have an in-depth conversation with every person who asks a nosy question. These questions always seem to come up when the kids are around and I feel unprepared to answer them. Do you have any suggestions for a witty response that can shut down
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
these questions? I dont want my boys to be ashamed that they were adopted, but I also dont want the details out there for public consumption. Adopted Mom in Indy Dear Adopted Mom: That someone would be so insensitive as to pose those questions in front of the children is disconcerting. While I cant think of a witty response, I can think of one that would be effective. Look the person in the eye, smile and say, Oh, thats a long story, but look at what beautiful sons I have. I feel truly blessed.
Dear Abby: My parents died when I was a teenager. In the years since I have noticed strange things. While I dont find pennies, I do often see streetlights turn off right before I drive under them. I drive a lot at night and in the early morning because I work graveyard shifts, and it seems to happen almost every day when I go to work or come home. I guess it could be coincidental. But a friend suggested years ago that its my parents letting me know theyre watching over me. I want to believe, yet I feel skeptical at the same time. Have you ever heard of anything like it? Lights Out in Federal Way, Wash. Dear Lights Out: The only time I have heard of anything like what
youre experiencing has been when I happened to change channels and come upon a television show about the paranormal. More important than what I believe is what you choose to believe. If the reassurance that your parents are watching over you brings you comfort, then I am all for it. Dear Abby: This idea may appeal to the parents of young children: Celebrate half-birthdays. (The concept is derived from the Half-Birthday Song in Alice in Wonderland.) A year to a young child is a long time. In addition to recognizing the joy that he/she was born, its a start to learning the structure of our calendar. It doesnt have to involve a big party or gifts, just a special activity day with a parent. Our family has
observed half-birthdays for 45 years and have found it to be a worthwhile tradition. Fun Mom Dear Fun Mom: The title of the song you mentioned is actually The UNbirthday Song, but Im in favor of anything that will bring parents and children closer. If the household is headed by a single working parent, then Ill bet a grandparent would be delighted for the chance to celebrate that special occasion.

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some say to lead with your strengths. Others say you can capitalize on your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Youll find success with an action that integrates those two ideas. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your responsibilities will be many and your helpers few. The demands of managing your life, home and relationships will be absorbing and incessant, but amidst them youll find moments of peace. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are adept at cracking codes, especially the kind presented by friends who feel too uncomfortable about their situation to speak of it in direct terms. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whether or not you are married, this most complicated of human relationships will have a bearing on the events of your day. Communication style will be a big part of this. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Loves energy, when blocked, has a way of transmuting into negativity. Whatever is getting in the way of you sharing the best part of yourself with others is worth looking into now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you need to know wont be readily apparent, but it only takes one good question to reveal it. Ask questions that will get to the facts or lead to an insight about the feelings of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll likely be around the kind of people who are only impressed with those who do not try to impress them. Find your own pleasure and benefits in the situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be some confusion as to what is relevant to the situation and what constitutes a possible solution. You may be asked to act as an official witness or judge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be careful of how much you tell people about your history. As is the case with tightly written entertainment, the backstory doesnt belong in the opening scene. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Financial matters, social activities and intellectual endeavors will be the main interests of the day. You may want to arrange for help with more mundane activities so you can focus. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because of the unusual environment you find yourself in this afternoon, you may feel uncharacteristically inhibited. Youll warm to those who go out of their way to make you feel at ease. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your strong attachment to home and family wont always be obvious today, because youll be busy expanding a different facet of your life. Just be sure to check in with those who matter most. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 13). You want to start a new adventure, but you still need permission, money, time and a good plan. Youll fill in those blanks over the next six weeks. October brings a professional breakthrough. Lifestyle improvements happen in January. Gemini and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 11, 24 and 23.
