WILKES-BARRE The sky was overcast and the rain fell heavy at times, but rainbows abounded Sunday in a soggy Kirby Park at the NEPA PrideFest. The NEPA Rainbow Alliance, a regional organization advocating for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, held its fourth annual event, drawing more than 800 people to dance, eat and get together. Its the largest celebration of the LGBT community in North-
eastern Pennsylvania, said John Dawe, executive director of the alliance. The rain cut down considerably on the attendance, he acknowledged, but those who paid the $5 cover fee appeared to enjoy themselves. We have a great event today despite the weather, he said.

State is gearing up for a new year. Can high school football be far behind? The answer to that would be, no. Today is the day Pennsylvania high schools can begin practicing for the fall sports season. So, theyll be dusting off those shoulder pads and tackling dummies across the area, because the start of the 2011 season is only three weeks away. That would be on Sept. 2, for you calendar-impaired folks.

HARRISBURG Pennsylvania and the Marcellus Shale natural gas reservoir are emerging as a key focus of natural gas pipeline operators, as the increasing gas flow spurs projects to bring it to customers in the northeastern United States and possibly Canada. More than half of the interstate natural-gas pipeline projects proposed to federal energy regulators since the beginning of 2010 involve Pennsylvania at a cost estimated at more than $2 billion. That means hundreds of new miles of pipeline as part of a larger,

They were called to the underground parking lot at 1:36 p.m. for a report of a fight and determined that Spina got into an argument with Freddy Ortiz, 20, no address provided, over a parking space. The argument turned to a fight and Spina threw mustard at Ortiz and grabbed him by the shirt, state police said. Edwin Caraballo, 26, of Hazleton, intervened and threw Spina to the ground, causing her to receive a cut on her head.

Looking to draw more people to Christ, the Emmanuel United Church of Christ in Mountain Top will host the creative musical style spiked with humorous stories by Jonathan Richard Cring and Janet Clazzy. The free hour-long performance called SpiriTed, by musical artist Clazzy, and award-winning screenwriter, columnist and humorist Cring will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Emmanuel United Church of Christ. A love donation will be accepted. Pastor Penny Dollar said a Fellowship Hour will follow the performance, offering the public an opportunity to meet and chat with Clazzy and Cring. The event is the second this year the church has hosted to attract people to Christ, Penny said. She discovered Clazzy and Cring on the Internet and found their combination of music, humor and stories interesting. Working together for the past 15 years, Clazzy and Cring have brought their unique blend of music and story telling to churches throughout the nation. Clazzy said the combination of her talents and Crings created a type of musical style they call Clazzy. It has the spirit of classical, the soul of jazz with a pop min-

dedness, Clazzy said. Cring plays the piano and sings like John Denver mingled with a touch of Elton John. Clazzy plays an instrument called the WX5 wind machine. It looks similar to an oboe but can create 250 different orchestra instrument sounds. She said in one of their songs, she breezes through seven different instrument sounds in a minute and a
half. In a high-energy performance, the duos goal is to make people realize they have more things in common than differences. Jonathan always said, the whole country is in a bad mood, it is a mess, but good Christians should always be in good cheer, Clazzy said. For more information, call the church at 868-5675.

Mother Nature tried her best, but nothing could stop Bowzer from throwing his ultimate doo-wop party for the third consecutive year at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Sunday. Unlike last weekends INXS concert that had to be canceled after three songs due to stormdamaged sound equipment, the well-known bass singer and former star of rock n roll revivalists Sha Na Na was able to present his entire show Sunday as the lingering rain stopped just before the 7 p.m. start. We had visions all day of no one coming because of the weather, Bowzer said. It makes us feel so good that youre all here. This years edition of Bowzers Ultimate Doo-Wop Party, celebrating the vocal-group sound from the early days of rock n roll, featured Johnnie & Joe, The Tymes, Joey Dee, The Chiffons and Gene Chandler in addition to Bowzer & The Stingrays.
Johnnie & Joe got things started Sunday with Over The Mountain, Across The Sea, a No. 8 hit from 1957 for the female/male duo that still features original singer Joe Rivers. The Tymes, a quartet originally from Philadelphia, then took the stage to do a trio of songs: Wonderful! Wonderful! (a tune perhaps best remembered by Johnny Mathis that the group took to No. 7 in 1963), So Much In Love (a No. 1 hit from earlier that same year) and You Little Trustmaker (the groups disco hit from 1974). Dee, the now 71-year-old singer who scored a handful of hits in the early 60s as leader of Joey Dee & The Starliters, delighted the crowd by twisting his way through high-energy versions of Hey, Lets Twist, Peppermint Twist and Shout, and his 1962 ballad What Kind of Love Is This. After Bowzer impressed the crowd with his classicallytrained piano stylings on Debussys Clair de Lune and Bumble Boogie, the Chiffons, featuring original lead singer Judy Craig, did nice renditions of three of its biggest hits: One Fine Day, Sweet Talkin Guy and Hes So Fine. Bowzer and his three-man vocal group The Stingrays then

held a dance contest and sang fine renditions of Blue Moon, Twistin the Night Away and Born to Hand Jive, one of the songs Sha Na Na did in the film version of Grease in 1978. Headliner Gene Chandler then capped the evening with a remarkable four-song performance, beginning with Rockin Robin. He then did Groovy Situation, his No. 12 hit from 1970, a stunning version of I Only Have Eyes For You, (the singer
who turned 71 in July held the final note so long he earned the first of his two standing ovations) and his signature tune, 1962s Duke of Earl. The official attendance figure for Sundays show was not available at press time, but it looked like a pretty sizeable crowd considering the weather. Tony Orlando will wrap up Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs third season of concerts with a performance on Aug. 29.
LOS ANGELES Rebellious apes have held off Southern maids for a narrow win at the weekend box office. Studio estimates Sunday pegged Rise of the Planet of the Apes at $27.5 million, good enough for its second-straight No. 1 finish. The 20th Century Fox release raised its 10-day domestic total to $104.9 million. The Planet of the Apes prequel came in just ahead of The Help, a drama about Mississippi maids during the civil-rights movement that debuted at No. 2 with $25.5 million. The Help, a DreamWorks release distributed by Disney, has taken in $35.4 million domestically since opening Wednesday. The Warner Bros. horror sequel Final Destination 5, the latest in the franchise where death stalks victims who had been fated to die earlier, opened at No. 3 with $18.4 million. The weekends other two new wide releases had soft openings. Sonys action comedy 30 Minutes or Less, starring Jesse Eisenberg as a pizza deliveryman forced to help rob a bank, was No. 5 with $13 million, just behind Sonys surprise animated smash The Smurfs, which slipped to fourth-place with $13.5 million.

Motorcyclist Eric Vannucchi died in 2007 when struck by a car after a police stop.

Although discussing the value of work now may seem a bit out of synch with the times, Malesic noted it is a question that has arisen for millennia. Go back to the founMalesic dations of Western philosophy, he said, Socrates didnt have a job, he hung around and conversed with whoever would listen. Jesus went to work sites and said Stop what youre doing, quit your job, follow me.

BETHLEHEM
WILKES-BARRE An attorney representing Plymouth borough is appealing a Luzerne County judges ruling in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a crash in 2007. The estate of Eric Vannucchi filed the lawsuit against the borough, two police officers, AVP Transport and Sarah Marquis in 2008 through Attorney Neil ODonnell. Vannucchi, then 19, was killed when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Marquis, 30, on East Main Street on May 29, 2007. Police stopped Vannucchi when they couldnt see the license plate on the motorcycle. Police contacted AVP Transport to tow the motorcycle after they learned Vannucchi did not have a valid drivers license. While talking to tow operator John Paul Kovach after the motorcycle had been placed on a flatbed, Vannucchi was struck by Marquis, who sped away. Marquis pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle and served less than two years in state prison. She was paroled on Jan. 30, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. The lawsuit alleges officers John Vanderlick and Anthony Gorey and the tow company were negligent and that resulted in Vannucchis death. Vanderlick and Gorey left the scene to respond to another police emergency after Kovach arrived with a flatbed trailer. Their absence caused a safety traffic hazard, the lawsuit alleges. Kovach was not properly trained in safety tow operations and did not wear or provide a reflective vest to Vannucchi, nor did he ignite flares or set up cones on the roadway to warn motorists of an emergency, according to the lawsuit. Attorneys for Plymouth borough and AVP Transport sought a speedy disposition, also called summary judgment, without the need for a trial. Plymouth borough and the two officers invoked governmental immunity, claiming they could not be held accountable in Vannucchis death. When Vanderlick and Gorey left the scene to respond to another police emergency, they claimed Vannucchi was standing on the sidewalk. Vannucchi and Kovach, who is

WILKES-BARRE At a time when 9.2 percent unemployment has many Americans saying please give me work, Jonathan Malesic concedes it may be bit hard for the average person to see logic in his new class that asks what is the value of work? But its a question most people ponder sooner or later, and for college students sooner may prevent problems later, said Malesic, associate professor of theology at Kings College. Malesics new course was made possible by a nearly $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities Enduring Questions Program. Kings was one of only 16 schools nationwide to win a grant this year.
their futures. Students come to college thinking theyve got it all figured out, Malesic said. They decide this without any reflection, and they plow through careers and hit a point where they realize, Wait a minute, why am I doing this? College students have a great opportunity and a great privilege to reflect on why they are going to pursue what they are going to pursue, and thats a big part of a colleges mission, Malesic said. The course will cover books from Ben Franklins ethic of hard work and thrift through Henry David Thoreaus quest for higher meaning at Walden Pond. Students will discuss several movies, including Charlie Chaplins Modern Times and The Parking Lot Movie, a documentary

that prompted closure of two venues and submerged the finances of the 10-day event. Officials said heavy rains in Bethlehem on Saturday night sent waters from the Monocacy Creek over much of the music grounds and cut into attendance. ArtsQuest officials said two venues the Volksplatz and Handwerkplatz were closed Sunday, the festivals final day. Music at other sites went on as scheduled. Musikfest President Jeffrey Parks said rain on six of 10 days had left the festival about $750,000 in the red. On Sunday, he issued a plea to the community to help make up the difference. Authorities said the creek flooding in the historic section of the city caught some by surprise Saturday night as vendors scrambled to salvage merchandise and equipment. One guy had African drums for sale that werent cheap, and they were just floating down the creek, Bethlehem Assistant Fire Chief David Ruhf said. Ruhf said propane tanks and coolers were floating in the floodwaters, and some vendors lost items down the creek.

Mayor Michael Nutter says the first weekend of an earlier curfew for minors in some parts of Philadelphia went well except for one episode of violence outside a bowling alley where the mayor himself had appeared earlier. Nutter said there were about 70 curfew violations on Friday and Saturday nights, the first nights of a 9 p.m. curfew for those under 18 in Center City and nearby University City. I am sure that young people and their parents have now gotten the message, the mayor said in a statement Sunday. We are going to continue to promote the positive, but we will also have continued enforcement of the curfew. It is strict and serious and there are no exceptions. The curfew is intended to curb recent mobs of young people responsible for random attacks and property damage. A first arrest could mean a fine of $100 to $300, and parents could be fined up to $500 for successive violations. In other parts of the city, the curfew remains 10 p.m. for those under 13 and midnight for those under 18.

Help Line: (570) 829-1341 or (888) 829-1341 Website: www.helpline-nepa.info
DALLAS TWP. -- Help Line caseworkers are trained to handle a variety of crisis situations from domestic abuse and homelessness to suicide intervention, so when a woman called the Help Line recently to ask for the time, the caseworker sensed there was more to the call. During their conversation, the caseworker discovered that the woman had intentionally swallowed rat poison. The Help Line is a 24-hour crisis center for 21 organizations serving Bradford, Luzerne, Sullivan, Tioga and Wyoming counties.
The Help Line is a key service for many people, said Help Line Director Tom Foley as he recalled the near-fatal rat poison situation. He was on hand during the third annual Pauly Friedman 5K Walk/Run at Misericordia University on Sunday. The event, hosted by The Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley, raises money each year to benefit the Help Line, which staffs six full-time crisis counselors. This years goal is $15,000. The Help Lines annual budget of $425,000 is down $50,000 this year due to funding cuts said Foley. Its unfortunate, but people dont think of us until they
need something. The center receives roughly 100,000 calls each year, which breaks down to nearly 273 calls per day. Help Line is struggling financially, said Joe DeVizia, executive director of the Luzerne County Office of Human Services. Pauly Friedman, who died in 2008 at 78, was a long-time volunteer for the Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley, which oversees the Help Line. It was Paulys dream for something like this, said

WILKES-BARRE The squash court at the city YMCA sits at the end of the hallway on the fifth floor. You have to walk by three handball/racquetball courts one of which has been used in recent years for a junior wrestling program to get to the squash court. Once there, you walk into a smaller area with a doorway about five feet high that leads to the squash court. The court itself has lines that mean something to the game of squash and it is about 10 feet shorter than the handball/racquetball courts. With the recent announcement of the YMCAs $15 million renovation project, somewhat lost in the good news was the revelation that the handball/racquetball courts and the squash court will be removed to make way for some of the 21 brand new modern apartments See SQUASH, Page 12A
that will occupy all of the YMCAs fourth, fifth and sixth floors. Its sad to see, said Dr. Tom ODonnell, a YMCA member for more than 30 years and a squash player. I believe thats the last squash court in Wyoming Valley. ODonnell said some of the top area squash players included Don Sabbatino, Bobby Payne, Morty Blum, Tom Johns, Norman Weiss, Ed Lichtic, Dr. Ralph Kline, Fred Alcaro, Ed Schechter, Gene English and Clayton Karambelas. Squash is more of an urban game, ODonnell said. A winter game, an Ivy League game popular in places like Boston. ODonnell and Karambelas said squash is a fast game that requires quickness and eye-hand coordination. Its certainly a good way to keep the heart rate up, ODonnell said.

An eastern Pennsylvania family had a scary moment after some hand grenades were found in their basement. West Penn Township Police said they were called to the familys home around 8:30 a.m. Friday. WFMZ-TV reports the family was cleaning out the basement and found four hand grenades in a plastic pail. The family called Schuylkill County 911, and police requested the assistance of the Reading Bomb Squad. The grenades were determined to be too deteriorated to be transported, so they were buried in the homes backyard and detonated.

PITTSBURGH Cakes produced daily at Advanced Waste Services in New Castle are not the edible kind. The dense, 16-square-foot, slate-like rectangles are made entirely of sludge, the dry solid residual that results from treating industrial wastewater. It may sound mundane, but the so-called filter cakes and the technology that produces them are a perfect storm of recycling, according to facility manager Pat Russell. And that perfect storm is part of a wave of technology that has surged in response to logistical and environmental challenges created by Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling, an enterprise that has brought both business and controversy to Pennsylvania and other states touched by the
West Allis, Wis., has been treating industrial waste and wastewater created by the hydraulic fracturing or fracking process, a drilling technique that creates small fissures in the rock to free the natural gases contained there, since 2007. The companys business has grown as fracking has taken off in Pennsylvania alongside the regions natural gas boom and frenzied Marcellus Shale drilling of the past three years. In May, the industrial waste treatment facility began trying out a new system created by Cranberry-based Siemens Water Technologies, a division of German corporation Siemens. The goal is to further streamline the disposal and reuse of waste in the industry. Its all about the preservation of water, said Anthony Cialella, vice president and tri-state regional manager of Advanced
Waste Services. Water is our most precious resource, and without it we wouldnt be here. Were taking the containments out of it and returning it cleaner. Siemens new wastewater treatment system aims to streamline the way in which fracking water is recycled by reducing the net amount of waste to be disposed of and by making the process more efficient. Tioga County installed a similar unit last fall, designed to treat nearly 300,000 gallons of water from Marcellus Shale drilling and other local operating wells each day. Siemens also hopes to bring the water treatment units directly to well sites, thereby eliminating costs associated with transporting water to and from a treatment facility. It reduces (drillers) operating costs both on delivering fresh water and having to haul away wastewater to another facility, said Kevin Warheit, product manager for Siemens Water Technologies. Truck traffic is also re-
duced in some of these rural areas. Unlike its Tioga County counterpart, the Siemens unit in New Castle is not currently handling Marcellus Shale waste. Though Advanced Waste Services used to treat fracking Anthony water, it halted Cialella those services Advanced Waste this spring after Services the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection requested that gas drilling operators stop delivering shale wastewater to 15 facilities, including the New Castle Sanitation Authority, where Advanced Waste Services discharges its treated water. The state also asked that those facilities cease

discharging water that had been diluted or treated for high concentrations of total dissolved solids. The request followed up on regulations that Pennsylvania overhauled in August 2010 under then-DEP secretary John Hanger. Until last summer, groups had applied for permits to discharge drilling wastewater without treating it for dissolved solids. Concentrations as high as 300,000 parts per million would wind up in the states waterways, though the safe drinking water standard allows for only 500 parts per million. Hanger said today virtually no wastewater is discharged into rivers and streams without treatment. That hasnt precluded the New Castle location from putting the new Siemens technology to use treating wastewater produced from industrial waste and some oil and non-Marcellus Shale natural gas wells. The DEP request would not preclude Advanced
EARLY
Waste Services from contracting with Marcellus Shale drillers, taking the technology directly to well sites, where water could be treated for reuse in fracking, Cialella said. Its a long journey from dirty wastewater to clear, treated water and freshly pressed filter cakes. The New Castle plant processes upward of 130,000 gallons of water daily. That liquid is reduced to about 36,000 gallons of sludge, with the remaining solids from that mixture separated into the chalky cakes. Those cakes are placed in landfills; the water is tested again and then discharged to the New Castle Sanitation Authority. The process recovers about 70 percent of the water initially brought in for treatment, said Cialella. Water usage by the Marcellus Shale drilling industry has become a controversial subject, in part because of fears over how the process will impact water supplies nearby.

CHARIKAR, Afghanistan Six suicide bombers attacked a governors security meeting in one of Afghanistans most secure provinces, killing 22 people and driving home the point that the Taliban is able to strike at will virtually anywhere in the country. The governor of Parwan, a relatively peaceful eastern province just 30 miles north of Kabul, survived. He said he picked up an assault rifle and shot at least one of the attackers dead
from the waiting room of his office. Two other insurgents detonated their vests, causing most of the deaths and burning part of the governors offices. Several cars were wrecked by shrapnel and bullets. Broken glass and body parts littered a charred lawn. The bold daylight assault in Charikar follows a similar attack by suicide bombers at a major Kabul hotel in June, and the downing of a U.S. helicopter full of U.S. special operations troops only 35 miles away from Kabul. The attacks in and close to the capital raise more questions about Afghanistans ability to defend itself as the U.S.-led coalition hands more of the country over to its struggling forces. Police said Sundays assault

began outside the front gate, where a car bomber set off an explosion that smashed through a wall of the compound, allowing five other insurgents toting assault rifles
and rocket-propelled grenade launchers to enter. The attack interrupted a provincial security meeting attended by Parwan Gov. Abdul Basir Salangi, his police chief, intelligence direc-
tor, a local army commander and at least two NATO advisers. All the attackers wore suicide vests, and at least three of them were dressed as police officers, police said. Two attackers made it across a courtyard and detonated their vests inside the governors headquarters building, but three others were killed before they could enter, police said. Salangi told The Associated Press that he and his aides fired at insurgents from his offices. He claimed to have killed one of the attackers. I had an AK-47. I shot him from the window of my waiting room, said Salangi, who was formerly the police chief of Kabul and a rebel fighter during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Indiana State Police and authorities survey the collapsed rigging and Sugarland stage on the infield at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis, Sunday. An evacuation was under way when strong winds hit. Five people died in the stage collapse.
INDIANAPOLIS The wind gust that toppled a stage at the Indiana State Fair Saturday night, killing five and injuring dozens of fans waiting for the country band Sugarland to perform, was a fluke that no one could have anticipated, the governor and others said Sunday. The wind was far stronger than that in other areas of the fairgrounds, said Dan McCarthy, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Indi-
ana. He estimated the gust at 60 to 70 mph. Gov. Mitch Daniels said precautions were taken before the storm, but no one could have foreseen such a strong gust focused in one place. Some witnesses have said that while a storm was expected, rain hadnt begun to fall when the wind sent the stage rigging falling into the crowd of terrified fans. This is the finest event of its kind in America, this is the finest one weve ever had, and this desperately sad, as far as I can tell fluke event doesnt change that, Daniels said. Four people were killed when the metal scaffolding that holds lights and other stage equipment fell, and a fifth died overnight at a hospital, Indiana
State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten said. The county coroners office identified the victims as Alina Bigjohny, 23, of Fort Wayne; Christina Santiago, 29, of Chicago; Tammy Vandam, 42, of Wanatah; and two Indianapolis residents: 49-yearold Glenn Goodrich and 51-year-old Nathan Byrd. Byrd died overnight. Forty-five people were taken to hospitals, and some may have gone on their own, Bursten said. Indiana University Health said 12 of the 26 people treated at its hospitals were still there, including three at its childrens hospital. It did not provide information about their conditions. A timeline released by Indiana State Police shows Indiana State Fair staff
contacted the National Weather Service multiple times before the wind blew over a stage and its rigging. The stage collapsed just before 9 p.m. Saturday as fans waited for the country music duo to take the stage. The timeline shows fair staff contacted the weather service four times between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The weather service said at 8 p.m. that a storm with hail and 40 mph winds was expected to hit the fairgrounds at 9:15 p.m., and fair staff began making evacuation plans. Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles sent a statement to The Associated Press through her manager, saying she watched recaps of the collapse on the news in horror.
ZAWIYA, Libya Libyan rebels in pickup trucks mounted with weapons and troops loyal to Moammar Gadhafi battled in the streets of Zawiya Sunday, a day after opposition forces pushed from the western mountains into the strategic city in their most dramatic advance in months. Pro-Gadhafi snipers shot at rebels from an overpass deep in the city, while loud booms echoed and a column of heavy black smoke rose over the outskirts. Dozens of civilians crammed in cars with their belongings fled the city. In one car, four women cried desperately, as their male driver called out: There are dead people in our neighborhood. An Associated Press reporter in Zawiya saw some of the fiercest battles on Ghanam Street, a main road leading in-

to downtown from the south of the city. Pickup trucks sped along it from the city center, ferrying the wounded and dead, and piling them into ambulances that wailed on their way out of Zawiya. The city of 200,000 just 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Tripoli rose up against the regime shortly after the revolt
against Gadhafi began in February. But Gadhafis forces crushed opposition in the city in a long and bloody siege in March. Many rebel fighters from Zawiya fled into the farmlands surrounding the city and western mountains further away, waiting for the right time to join in a new offensive to retake Zawiya.
BEIRUT Syria used gunboats for the first time Sunday to crush the uprising against Bashar Assads regime, hammering parts of the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia after thousands marched there over the weekend to demand the presidents ouster. At least 25 people were killed, according to activists. The coordinated attacks by gunboats and ground troops were the latest wave of a brutal offensive against anti-government protests launched at the beginning of the month. The assault showed Assad has no intention of scaling back the campaign even though it has brought international outrage
and new U.S. and European sanctions. We are being targeted from the ground and the sea, said a frightened resident of the al-Ramel district of Latakia, the hardest hit neighborhood. The shooting is intense. We cannot go out. They are raiding and breaking into peoples homes, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. As the gunships blasted waterfront districts, ground troops backed by tanks and security forces stormed several neighborhoods including al-Ramel, sending terrified women and children fleeing, some on foot, to safer areas. At least 25 people were killed in the city on Sunday, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The government has justified its crackdown by saying its dealing with terrorist gangs and criminals who are fomenting unrest.

A grant will help the facility serve the needy this year, but next year could be different.
By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent
PIPELINE
Continued from Page 1A
WILKES-BARRE A trend toward more people seeking free medical care combined with state budget cutbacks has the Wilkes-Barre Free Clinic wondering where next years funding will come from. The clinic, located in the basement of St. Stephens Episcopal Church on South Franklin Street, is one of six free clinics sprinkled throughout the Wyoming Valley, geared to help the growing number of underinsured and those who lost their health insurance with their jobs. Recently, the clinic received a state grant for $35,935. Breaking down the numbers, Phyllis Peletier, clinic administrator, said $21,685 went for maintenance and improvements to the facility. The remaining $14,250 was split between the medical clinic, dental clinic, the dispensary for medical supplies and patient educational materials. We received $29,500 for 2010, this year we received $35,935, but going forward, with the state budget cuts, we are unsure if we will receive grants from the state, she said. Running the clinic with volunteers, Peletier said the facility does not receive any other funding from the state. She said she does keep an eye out for any possible grants to apply for. State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, said the budget cutbacks will have a negative impact, but offered hope by saying, the federal government is

trying to encourage clinics to open. The grant was from the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare. Pashinski said the line item for the grant is zeroed out. At this point, the grant will not be available for next year. Uncertain funding, rising prices and the increasing number of people seeking free medical care have both Pashinski and Peletier concerned. On a typical night, 40 people from neighboring communities come in for scheduled appointments, Peletier said. The dental clinic has 200 people on a waiting list. The volume of people we see is increasing, she said. The majority of them do not have jobs. Although they see a variety of cases, the most frequent involve source of vital information for victims of the disaster. Avid runners Chris, 53, and Lorraine Redlich, 52, of Dallas were two of the roughly 160 walkers and runners who braved the rain to support the cause. The couple said they usually run together several times a week, which includes a run around the campus on Sundays. We thought we might as well do our Sunday run and do it for a good cause at the same time, said Lorraine. Paulybelievedintheimportance of volunteering and dedicated her life to helping people.

testing blood sugar levels for diabetes, blood pressure screenings and treating other chronic illnesses, said Mary Gene Sweeney, a volunteer nurse. Peletier said the clinic is sponsored by St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and St. Stephens Episcopal. She said she is thankful the churches have been generous. St. Stephens provides us rent-free rooms and pays the utilities for us, she said. Good Shepherd and St. Nick provide supported.

Christina Koprowski, of Wanamie, Newport Township, recently gave a $500 donation in memory of her great-aunt Ann Marie Bell, who died of lung cancer a few years ago. The money is earmarked for purchasing inhalers for those with respiratory illnesses. Inhalers can cost $50 apiece, Peletier said. Koprowski said growing up, she remembers her mother taking her to a free medical clinic. Today, she said her father, who recently lost his job, is using a free clinic. I feel if you can give back, you should, Koprowski said. New York City -- joined by her father and brother Rob, 56, of Dallas, and their children -- recalled the compassion her mother had for others. My mother felt that one of the most important things was to give back to the community and do things for other people, she said. It means so much to keep her legacy alive.

In addition to handling crisis situations, the Help Line is also an information and referral service with a data listing of over 400 local agencies,aswellasover16,000regional, state and national resources. The Help Line was established in 1972 in the aftermath of the Agnes Flood. It became a central referral
traditional cross-country network that already extends through Pennsylvania and its neighboring states, as well as dozens of new or upgraded compression stations to force more gas through the buried pipes. The projects are already employing thousands of contract workers and bringing work to steel mills, welders, gravel quarries and landscapers. At the same time, they are generating concerns about air and water pollution and eminent domain issues. Combined, more than a dozen projects proposed or already under construction would have the capacity to move an additional 4 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day one-third of what analysts for Colorado-based Bentek Energy say is the average daily demand in the northeastern United States. A lot of those projects are really designed to move the new volumes out of the Marcellus to your more traditional, historic pipelines that have served the Northeast markets for the last 30 or 40 years, said Benteks manager of energy analysis, Anthony Scott. For now, Bentek said about 3 billion cubic feet (bcf) per day of gas is flowing from the Marcellus Shale, the nations largest-known natural gas reservoir. Production is rising quickly as crews busily drill more wells, and the flow should easily reach 7 bcf or 8 bcf per day in the next five years, Scott said. But the exploration companies need to find takers for the gas, and Bentek analysts say more pipeline capacity is needed if the Marcellus Shale gas is going to ease price spikes at important New York City and Boston-area hubs during the coldest winter stretches. Where the gas is already flowing into interstate pipelines, largely in southwestern and northeastern Pennsylvania, it is displacing pricier gas from more distant sources, Bentek analysts said. The expansions come amid scrutiny after several high-profile pipeline accidents around the country. One of the largest projects, a $700 million expansion of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.s 300 pipeline, is already under construction, employing 2,100 sur-
veyors, inspectors and construction workers, according to the company. It received federal approval last year to lay approximately 127 miles of 30-inch pipeline along the existing 300 pipeline where possible through northern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey, as well as the installation of two new compressor stations and upgrades of seven others. To connect to the larger, interstate pipelines, other companies are moving forward in Pennsylvania on what is expected to be thousands of miles of smaller pipelines to ferry gas from producing well sites. Those gathering pipelines require various federal, state or local permits to cross wetlands, streams and roads, but not federal energy regulators approval. Jan Jarrett of the environmental group PennFuture, said she is concerned about the impact of the pipeline construction on the environment. At least one new interstate project, the MARC I line proposed by a subsidiary of Kansas City, Mo.-based Inergy LP, is getting pushback from some residents and environmental groups in Pennsylvanias rural Endless Mountains region. The EPA even weighed in, writing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to express concerns about the potential environmental impact of the line. The line would pose the threat of pollution in an area that supports a robust ecosystem, high quality of life and recreation, the EPA said. But federal regulators have found the pipeline would have no significant impact on the environment and recommended that it be allowed to go forward. Bill Moler, president of Inergys midstream division, said in a statement last month the company is confident that any environmental impact has been identified and either avoided or remedied in its plans. Certification by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gives a company the right to seek court approval to take property by eminent domain a worry for some property owners in the proposed path of the MARC 1 whose families have owned the land for generations, said state Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Lycoming. Before that happens, Mirabito said those property owners should get the satisfaction of a stronger environmental analysis of the project.

for Elvis. To mark Elvis breakout year, Jorgensen and his team have assembled a five-CD box set called Young Man with the Big Beat. Jorgensen will be unveiling the RCA/Legacy box set today at Graceland. The collection goes on sale Sept. 27. The set includes not only the five CDs, but also an 80-page book that provides a daily chronology of Elvis year though photos, postcards, fan letters, magazine covers and other memorabilia. The set also includes rare photos, posters and a replica concert ticket stub. The first two CDs in the set are packed with music from the debut LP Elvis Presley and the follow up Elvis. Those seminal albums had some of Elvis most well-known songs: Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Dont Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender and more. Those tunes, recorded in New York, Memphis, Nashville, Tenn., and Hollywood, Calif., helped sell 10 million singles and 800,000 LPs in 1956 alone. They also brought Elvis to television on Milton Berles show, where he gave a hip-swiveling performance that excited his young fans and shocked their parents. Elvis stage presence, soulful voice and love of songs he heard growing up in Memphis put him in a unique position alongside other rock pioneers of his time: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bill Haley, Fats Domino. We were fascinated about how this one man seemed to change the entire music business in America in 12 months, Jorgensen said. But it was the first album, which included Trying to Get to You and Ray Charles I Got a Woman, that author Peter Guralnick said is the more important of the two 1956 albums. I would look at the first album as an American songbook. Its an homage to all the great genres of American music, said Guralnick, who wrote two Elvis biographies, Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley and Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley. The third CD in the set features rare live recordings that have been re-mastered. They include songs from a previously unreleased concert in Shreveport, La., in December 1956, and a Las Vegas concert in which he bombed in front of an older audience. Jorgensen said he is always looking for undiscovered gems like the Shreveport concert that can make Elvis music new to longtime fans. You try to get all the pieces to the puzzle, Jorgensen said. The fourth CD in the set features outtakes from the first RCA recording session in January of that year, and a February session in which Elvis does 12 takes of Shake, Rattle And Roll. The fifth CD includes interviews and two segments of Elvis rare monologue, The Truth About Me. The outtakes and interviews display a sensitive, emotional side of Elvis amid a great deal of criticism. Guralnick said the criticism didnt start until Elvis became a national star, and it was based on class and social prejudice. It really bothered Elvis when critics put down his fans, Guralnick said. He was extremely outspoken that this was unfair, and that every generation needs to have its own style of music, said Guralnick, who showed a documentary of Sam Phillips, the producer man who discovered Elvis, Saturday at the University of Memphis. Fans can pre-order Young Man with the Big Beat for $109.99 at Elvis1956.com, or wait until Sept. 27 and pay a suggested retail price of $139.98.

HARRISBURG The subject of fairness always a question in tax policy will inevitably surface as part of the debate when the state Legislature tries once again this fall to impose some type of levy on Pennsylvanias booming natural gas industry. Consider this: Natural gas producers dont pay a tax on production in Pennsylvania, although in every other major gas producing state they pay one or more. And the coal industry in Pennsylvania
pays a property tax based on production value to counties, municipalities and school districts as well as a federal severance tax. For now, Pennsylvania has one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation for the industry, which is spending billions of dollars to tap thousands of wells into the Marcellus Shale formation, considered the nations largest-known natural gas reservoir. Two major gas states with the heaviest tax burdens, Colorado and Texas, impose a property tax on the value of oil and natural gas to the tune of about $2 billion a year in Texas as a way to address the local impact of drilling. In Texas, theres a separate state severance tax on gas and oil that raised almost as much in the 2010 his house as they went to another nearby residence to take a report about Tonic. But, police said, Tonic left his house in an attempt to locate the man who broke into his house. Police said Tonic refused to return to his residence and was arrested. Police said they charged him with public drunkenness and took him to police headquarters where he was held until he was sober and released. Jeremy Arnold, 35, of 293 S. Hancock St., reported Friday night that his bicycle was stolen. John Harker, 44, was charged with violating a protection from abuse order Friday night for contacting Karen Harker, 44, at their residence on Park Avenue. Jane Deschak, 58, of 56 S. Meade St., reported Friday
fiscal year. And in Colorado, theres a conservation tax and a severance tax. James LeBas, a tax policy analyst for the Texas Oil and Gas Association and that states former chief revenue estimator, said a severance tax makes more sense if a state has a monopoly, as Texas essentially once did. But theres a good argument to be made against it if a state has to compete for the business, LeBas said. Texas will be happy as soon as Pennsylvania starts taxing oil and gas, LeBas said. Wed like to get our rigs back, please. However, Pennsylvania state Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Lycoming, said it is fair for Pennsylvanias natural gas industry to pay a local impact fee as an obligation to the night that her residence was entered and television was stolen. William Jones, 53, of Irving Place, was charged with public drunkenness Friday night after police alleged he was intoxicated in the area of his residence. Leroy Montigney, 47, of Plymouth, was charged with public drunkenness Friday night after police said he was intoxicated in the area of 211 S. Main St. Leroy Drayton, 49, of 86 Hillside St., reported Friday afternoon that Pennsylvania license plate YML-9552 was stolen from his vehicle. Christina Sargent, 27, of South Franklin Street, was charged with disorderly conduct on Monday after she refused to
community, and it is fair to pay a severance tax as well, since so many other states impose one. For years, Pennsylvania has imported natural gas from outside its borders to heat homes and for all those years Pennsylvanians have paid the built-in cost of other states severance taxes on the gas, Mirabito said. So now that Pennsylvania is exporting gas thanks to more than 3,000 Marcellus Shale wells, it should impose one as well, he said. A severance tax is about tax equity, he said. Former Gov. Ed Rendell first proposed a severance tax on the industry in 2009, soon after it began drilling in to the Marcellus Shale in earnest. He proposed a stop yelling and cursing in the area of Carey Avenue and Walnut Street. Michelle Martin of Hazle Avenue reported Aug. 2 that she had been receiving harassing text messages. Chad Williams, 37, of Nuangola Road, Mountain Top, will be charged with harassment, police said. Joseph Walton of North Main Street told police Williams pulled his hair and struck him on North Main
tax identical to West Virginias, but opposition from the Senates GOP majority not to mention, the industry helped doom that effort. This year, opinion in the Senate GOP has swung behind the effort to impose some type of tax or fee. But the debate likely will be dominated by Gov. Tom Corbett, who succeeded Rendell in January after campaigning against a tax on the industry. Corbett opposes a severance tax because he says he fears it would drive the industry away and cost the state jobs and the investment while Pennsylvania is trying to recover from the recession. He also points to the growing exploration of other natural gas deposits around the country, including the Utica Shale in Ohio, where Gov. Street on Aug. 6. Police are investigating a reported robbery Friday morning at 35 N. Welles St. Jamin Smith of Bunker Hill Road, Sweet Valley, told police a man assaulted him and took his prescription medication. Breanna Flynn of Mayock Street reported her wallet and cell phone were stolen from her vehicle while it was parked at 214 Mayock St. on Aug. 5. Patrick Kreidler of Hazle Ave-
John Kasich is putting out the welcome mat. Corbett said Thursday that his office is drafting legislation to impose an impact fee on the industry, although he hasnt revealed details, such as what type of impacts the fee would cover or how much the industry would pay. At one time, property taxes were imposed on the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania, but a 2002 state Supreme Court decision stopped that practice, saying the law did not clearly authorize such a tax. In the years after the courts decision, county commissioners lobbied the Legislature to write a new law that authorized property taxes on natural gas, but without success. nue was cited with harassment Friday. Indira Garcia of South Sherman Street said Kreidler entered her unlocked residence and started a discussion about their children. Garcia said the discussion became heated and Kreidler cursed at her and threw her onto a bed, police said. Raquel Martinez of Madison Street reported Friday that her wallet was taken from her vehicle while it parked on South Main Street.

Police said Nicole Herron, 27, told them that her boyfriend, Alba, choked and punched her in the face. Police said they saw signs of injury to Herron and arrested Alba. Herron refused medical treatment. WILKES-BARRE City police reported the following: Kenneth Tonic of North Franklin Street was charged with public drunkenness after a disturbance near his residence early Saturday morning. Police said they responded to a report at 548 N. Franklin St. of a man with a knife pounding on doors. They said they met Tonic who said his house was broken into. Police told him to return to

COMMENTARY
NICHOLAS CARR
two-thirds of the students had abandoned the Kindle or were using it only infrequently. Of those who continued to use the e-reader regularly, many had switched to a different and usually less desirable reading technique, researchers said. In another recent study, 500 undergraduates at the University of California were asked to compare printed books with e-books. Most of the students said they still preferred reading from pages rather than from screens. According to a report on the study, many of the students commented on the difficulty they have learning, retaining and concentrating when looking at a computer screen. In a typical complaint, one of the students said, E-books divide my attention. One of the key themes emerging from the studies, as well as from earlier research into reading behavior, is that people read in a variety of ways. Sometimes they immerse themselves in a book, reading without interruption. Sometimes they skim pages to get a quick sense of the story or argument. Sometimes they search for a particular passage. Because weve come to take printed books for granted, we tend to overlook their enormous flexibility as reading instruments. Its easy to flip through the pages of a physical book, forward and backward. Its easy to jump quickly between widely separated sections, marking your place with your thumb or a stray bit of paper. E-books are much more rigid. Refreshing text on a screen is a far different, and far less
In a study last year at the University of Washington, a group of graduate students was given Kindles, and their use of the devices was monitored through diary entries and interviews. By the end of the school year, nearly two-thirds of the students had abandoned the Kindle or were using it only infrequently.
flexible, process than flipping through pages. People also tend to be more easily distracted when reading from screens. Theres always the temptation to click on a link, check email, monitor Facebook activity or play a quick game of Angry Birds. Even dedicated e-readers such as the Kindle are incorporating more bells and whistles that have the effect of drawing a readers attention away from the words. None of this is to say that e-readers wont come to play an important role in education. Students already do a great deal of reading and research on computer screens, after all, and there are many things that digital documents can do that printed pages cant. What the research does tell us is that its rash to assume that e-textbooks are a perfect substitute for printed textbooks. The printed page continues to be a remarkably powerful reading tool, and it seems to be particularly well suited to the needs of students. New technologies are seductive, but we should always think twice before rushing to replace old tools with new ones.

to take action to ensure stability and liquidity in markets is a minimal first step to prevent their debt crisis from getting out of control. However, it would be far more disastrous if global leaders, especially those from debt-laden rich countries, fail again to make use of the current sense of urgency to put in place serious and long-term solutions. Policymakers in both the United States and European Union should no longer indulge themselves in the delusion that the debt crisis under their watch has any chance of being fixed without their making difficult choices.

ightline has been airing special onehour, primetime programs. On July 14, the focus was on the apparitions of Mary, mother of Jesus.
Among the apparitions examined was one that occurred in Wisconsin about 150 years ago that only recently has gained the official approval of the Catholic Church the first in the United States. Another apparition briefly included in the program was that of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. Unfortunately, the time allotted for this famous and enormously important apparition was minimal. Let me add a few details. The story is that Mary appeared several times in 1531 to an Indian, Juan Diego, an early Aztec
convert to Christianity. She appeared on Tepeyak Hill, five miles from Mexico City, where a temple to the god Tonantzin previously stood. Identifying herself as the Virgin Mary, she requested that Juan Diego approach Bishop de Zumarragoa of Mexico City and tell him that she desired a church be built on the hill. The bishop listened politely but was not ready to act. He needed a sign. In December, she sent Diego to the top of Tepeyak Hill to collect flowers. When he returned, she arranged them and sent him again to the bishop. Diego carried the flowers in his apron. Before the bishop, he opened his apron; the flowers, including Castilian roses, cascaded to the floor. This was the sign the bishop awaited. But he got more. On Diegos apron was embossed the image of Our Lady. The bishop built the church and displayed the apron in it. Within the next seven years, 8 million Aztecs were converted to Christianity and baptized.

teering, has worked around water all her life at marinas, as a swim instructor, and restoring boats. You need to be a water person to do this, she said. On race day, five oclock in the morning finds three boats maneuvering the dark water of the lake, dropping buoys that will guide athletes. Theyre moved three, four, five times until deemed to be in the appropriate place. This attention to detail is also paid to the 400-plus swimmers table to table. Its going to be a big time, Perry told Cedar Falls Republican Jeanie Balthazor. In the 24 Pawlenty hours between Perrys announcement in Charleston, S.C., and his arrival in Iowa, the ground had shifted profoundly. Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, beat her homestate rival Tim Pawlenty by more than 2-to-1 in the Iowa straw poll, an early test of caucus campaign strength. Pawlenty, a former two-term Minnesota governor, had put all his chips on a strong showing in the poll. But his distant third-place finish, behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul, prompted Pawlenty to quit the race Sunday morning. Bachmann, on the other hand, rose sharply to the top of Iowa polls since launching her campaign in June, and made an aggressive push for straw poll support with evangelical pastors and Christian home-school backers. Bachmann waited on her campaign bus in the ballroom parking lot while Perry spoke at the fundraiser, and entered the hall to her trademark introduction theme, Elvis Presleys version of Promised Land. A vocal opponent of the deal reached in Congress to raise the national debt ceiling, Bachmann sought to broaden her appeal to include budget hawks, and noted her tea party backing to project herself as appealing to a range of voters. Its a movement coming together. Its a movement of social conservatives, a movement of fiscal conservatives, particularly on the debt ceiling issue, she said. But she also stressed her opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage, issues Perry did In business a bit longer, The Woods Campground was there to attract customers. The clothing-optional campground in the Poconos caters to men and women and is open from May through October. Its been in operation for 8 years. We do get a lot of people that have heard of it, but never went there, said co-owner Pat Gremling. John Rosario, 28, traveled from Scranton to check out the festival.

who plunge into the lake. Every person stationed on a water craft along the route makes sure those that need help get it, and fast. The boat Maturi steered sat at the start of the swim, where McGurk said many of the rescues take place. It usually takes about the first 100 yards to figure out youre in trouble, he said. Cramps, trouble breathing, or just panic; there are many things that can stop someone. Not only do rescuers help allay physical ailments, but those that not touch in his remarks. Without social conservatives it will be very difficult to beat Barack Obama in 2012, Bachmann said. On Sunday, Gallups daily tracking poll had President Barack Obamas approval rating at 39 percent, his lowest in more than a year. Pawlenty had aggressively criticized Bachmann as light on experience and accomplishment in her three terms in the U.S. House, compared with his two terms as governor in a politically divided state. Perry, Texas longest-serving governor, is viewed as an establishment candidate who could be attractive to former backers of Pawlenty. Bachmann said experience as a governor a job held by the last two two-term Republican presidents is not a prerequisite for the White House. Jimmy Carter was also a governor, she said of the former Democratic president during an appearance on ABCs This Week. So, being a governor and having governor-level experience isnt the No. 1 requirement. Bachmann and libertarian favorite Texas Gov. Ron Paul combined to receive more than 60 percent of the vote at the straw poll, sending a strong anti-establishment message from Iowas GOP activist base. Perry, who headlined a prayer rally of more than 30,000 bornagain Christians in Houston this month, is focusing during his Iowa introduction on the party establishment and business community. He plans to hold private meetings with GOP elected officials as he travels around the state today and Tuesday in a motor coach splashed with his name and the slogan Get America working again. On Tuesday, Perry plans to hold an economic roundtable with businesspeople in Dubuque. accepting, said Rosario. Thats the message the Rev. Peter D. DAngio, rector of St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Scranton, wanted to spread. Were trying to get the word out that the Episcopal Church is welcoming and inclusive, said DAngio. This was his churchs first visit to PrideFest and it drew some interest.

We know how to build from scratch, putting capital together and starting a business from scratch and building it up so that we can actually offer jobs to people. A segment of the GOPs establishment and economic conservatives have sat on the sidelines in the early months of the race, waiting for an alternative to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Support for Romney, positioning himself as the Republican most associated with job creation, has been muted in some parts of the GOP primary electorate. Perry was mobbed by dozens of reporters for his first appearance as a candidate in the leadoff caucus state. It was a sharp contrast to another part of the room, where presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, moved through the crowd with less commotion. Perry struggled to move from
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama launches a political counteroffensive this week, weighed down by withering support among some of his most ardent backers, a stunted economy and a daily bashing from the slew of Republicans campaigning for his job. Weve still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be. We didnt get into this mess overnight, and its going to take time to get out of it, the president told the country over the weekend, all but pleading for people to stick with him. A deeply unsettled political landscape, with voters in a fiercely anti-incumbent mood, is framing the 2012 presidential race 15 months before Americans decide whether to give Obama a second term or hand power to the Republicans. Trying to ride out what seems to be an unrelenting storm of economic anxiety, people in the United States increasingly are voicing disgust with most all of the men and women, Obama included, they sent to Washington to govern them. With his approval numbers sliding, the Democratic president will try to ease their worries and sustain his resurrected fighting spirit when he sets off today on a bus tour of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The trip is timed to dilute the GOP buzz emanating from the Midwest after Republicans gathered in Iowa over the weekend for a first test of the partys White House candidates. The state holds the nations first ea to PrideFest. We dont hate them, said John Murray, pastor of the church. We want to save them. Ante Pavkovic of North Carolina and the Dallas, Texasbased pro-life group Operation Save America joined Murray and the protestors getting soaked in the rain. This is a sin, just like drunkenness is a sin, said Pavkovic. Inside the fence, Bill Browne, vice chair of vendors and exhibitors for PrideFest, kept his distance from the protestors. They have showed up in the past. He has a right to his opinion, Browne said of Pavkovic, adding, And I have a right to ignore him.

nominating test in the long road toward choosing Obamas opponent. You have just sent a message that Barack Obama will be a oneterm president, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told elated supporters minutes after winning Saturdays Iowa straw poll, essentially a fundraising event that also tests a candidates organizational and financial strength. She spent heavily and traveled throughout the state where she was born, casting herself as the evangelical Christian voice of the deeply conservative, small government, low tax, tea party wing of the party. Bachmann pulled in 4,823 votes, or 29 percent of those cast, to 4,671, or 28 percent, for Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the secondplace finisher, and Democrats probably rejoiced that her ultraconservative voice gained strength among Republican contenders. But at the same time, the contest to challenge Obama in November 2012 grew even more jumbled. While the voting was under way in Ames, Iowa, Repub-
licans had to shift their gaze halfway across the country to South Carolina, where Texas Gov. Rick Perry made a cleverly timed entrance into the race. Like Bachmann and all the other candidates, he ravaged Obama. Perry said the president was presiding over an economic disaster, in a declaration that stole some of Bachmanns political thunder and undercut the frontrunner status of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who didnt compete in the Iowa test vote. Perry clearly cast a broad shadow across the Republican contest. Obama, expecting the political shelling he would take, fired preemptively in his weekly radio and Internet address to the nation on Saturday. He told listeners that it was the Republicans running for president and serving in Congress who were at work crushing voters hopes and dreams. Working in Obamas favor, however, is a Republican Party still struggling to find a presidential candidate who lights a fire with voters. test Marquis blood alcohol level, which may have resulted in more serious charges that have harsher sentences, because she was found 10 hours later in an Ashley residence.

A hit-and-run accident when death occurs is graded as a third-degree felony with a mandatory sentence of one year. Mundys legislation would reclassify a hit and run accident that results in a fatality as a second-degree felony, increase a term of imprisonment for each victim and raise penalties if the hit-and-run accident involves alcohol or a controlled substance.

SQUASH

W H AT I S S Q U A S H ?
According to the website wiseGEEK, a team of researchers, writers and editors dedicated to providing short, clear and concise answers to common questions, squash is: Usually played in a singles game (one player against another) or a doubles game (two against two). Each player is equipped with a racquet that is made up of loosely woven but tightened strings within a round or elongated frame. Squash racquets are of similar format but slightly different size/shape to tennis racquets. An official squash ball is 4cm (approx. 1.5 inches) in diameter; the ball is made out of rubber and is squashy. All balls must be hit against the front wall and play alternates between players until one cannot return a ball to the front wall (or the ball hits the tin). There are various court dimensions for different circumstances (singles or doubles games), and in different regions of the world. The official court size for singles matches is 32 feet long, 21 feet wide and 15 feet tall at the front wall. The tin is located at the base of the front wall and reaches 19 inches high.

Waning popularity The popularity of squash waned when handball and later racquetball were introduced. ODonnell and Karambelas agreed that racquetball was a much easier game to learn and play. No question that squash was a much more difficult game to be good at than racquetball, ODonnell said. The reason racquetball became such a success was because you could get mediocre quickly. Squash takes a lot more technique. Karambelas, who won the last Squash Tournament held at the YMCA in 1975, said the ball used in squash is dead and the racquets were much smaller than those used in racquetball.

Clayton Karambelas and Gene English stand in the squash court at the Wilkes-Barre YMCA that will be lost as part of the apartment renovation project on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors.
It was a great workout, Karambelas said. By the time four or five points were made you were really sweating. Karambelas said he misses the game and, like ODonnell, he was saddened to learn that the squash court would be lost to the renovation project. Its the end of an era, he said.
about attendants at a Virginia parking lot. Malesic appears in the movie. He was one of the overeducated attendants desperate for work after he earned his doctorate at the University of Virginia. Which begs the question Why get a Ph.D.? Malesic laughed, but said the question goes to the heart of the class. Many students invest in a college education to get a better job. Contemplating the reasons they want that better job makes sense. I think there are a lot of forces in culture and the economy that push students to have things fig- Mark Guydish, a Times Leader staff ured out, he said.

LEHMAN TWP. For 29 years, Wyoming Valley male triathletes struggled at their own race a disheartening result for a race composed of hundreds of local athletes. The list of the past WilkesBarre Triathlon champions hometowns resemble darts thrown at a map: Maryland, Utah, Colorado and Australia each claimed more than one individual champion before any Wyoming Valley resident could. History changed at the Sundays 30th edition of the triathlon. Shavertowns Sean Robbins became the first Wyoming Valley resident to win the WilkesBarre Triathlon. The 42-year-

OPINION
Wilkes-Barre Triathlon. Last night, he went south fast, McCole said of the elder Owens. As of this morning, he was still with us. Richie stayed. Obviously, he wanted to be with his dad. Everyone knows how much Richie Owens loves the race. Sunday was only the second time the event went on without his participation. But this was one choice he needed to make, without any hesitation. An easy decision, McCole called it. He just said, I cant do the race.

old Robbins crossed the finish line in Lehman Township in a time of 2 hours, 8 minutes and 26 seconds. Between being the first local man to win this race and this being the 30th anniversary, its huge, said Robbins. Im just thrilled. I cant believe it. Its fantastic. Minutes later, Shavertown racked in its second title when Kelly Ciravolo won her second consecutive womens individual championship with a personal-best finish of 2:16.59.
TOP MALE: Sean Robbins was the first to cross the finish line Sunday.
TOP FEMALE: Kelly Ciravolo was the first female to finish the race.
For 32-year-old Ciravolo, becoming a two-time WilkesBarre Triathlon winner is a monumental achievement in her short triathlon career. She raced in her first triathlon at the Back Mountain course in
2006. This is where I got my start so I love this, said Ciravolo. To come back then and win it multiple times is awesome.

Keegan Bradley holds up the Wanamaker Trophy on the 18th green after winning a three-hole playoff against Jason Dufner at the PGA Championship Sunday at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Ga.
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. In a major with names hard to remember, Keegan Bradley delivered a comeback difficult to forget. Five shots behind with three holes to play in the PGA Championship, Bradley made back-to-back birdies to begin his rally. Equally stunning was the collapse from Jason Dufner, who was flawless on the home stretch until Sunday, when he made three straight bogeys with the Wanamaker Trophy on the line.
Bradley won a three-hole playoff, making him only the third player in at least 100 years to win a major in his first try. He also became the first player to win a major with a long putter a belly putter and it proved to be the most important club in his bag. Bradley rattled in a 35-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole in regulation to keep alive his chances, then showed the perfect touch with a two-putt across the 18th green for a par to close out a 2-under 68. Dufner, now winless in 148 starts on the PGA Tour, stooped over on the 18th fairway in the playoff before hitting his final shot, knowing that he had thrown away his best chance at finally winning in a major, no less. And so ended the final major of the year a guy in a red shirt pumping his
fists along the back nine of Atlanta Athletic Club, providing excitement that the PGA Championship had been missing until the final hour. Until then, this major had been remembered for Tiger Woods missing the cut by six shots and looking lost as ever, and for U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy hitting a tree root in the opening round and playing the rest of the week with his right wrist heavily taped. Bradley, best known until now as the nephew of LPGA great Pat Bradley, was No.108 in the world after having won the Byron Nelson Championship earlier this year in a sudden-death playoff, again after the leaders had faded on the closing holes.

LEHMAN TWP. As he approached the finish line at the 30th annual Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, Sean Robbins could almost hear his father urging him on as he headed toward his first-ever win at one of the Wyoming Valleys most prestigious sporting events. Robbins, who has finished in the top five several times in the race throughout his career, finally tasted victory with a time of 2:08:26 in the three-sport event Sunday morning. Unfortunately, his father was not able to see his son win. Jack Robbins, 75, passed away in March. He battled with lung cancer and had surgery in December to remove a tumor and scar tissue that developed in his lungs. In March, as he was set to begin chemotherapy treatment, his condition worsened. It was pretty sudden, Sean Robbins said. We never expected that. He was having trouble breathing and within the week
he got progressively worse. I really wish he would have been here. The 42-year-old Shavertown resident struggled with the emotions of his fathers passing and the difficulty of training for the upcoming racing season. Spring was tough, said Robbins. Usually Im thinking about racing, but I was thinking about him. To start racing again was tough. Even with the absence of his father Sunday morning, Sean found comfort in a handful of familiar faces in the crowd, those who continually supported him for so many other of his races: his mother Joanna, his sister Meghan and his aunt Cathryn Casey. I was worried about my mom being here without my dad, Sean said. I wasnt even going to bug her to come. But not having that support at his races would be difficult to comprehend, Robbins said. They traveled with him to support him at competitions such as the Ironman Triathlon in Lake Placid, N.Y., last year, where he
finished second in his age group. They were also there to see him place second in July at the Muscleman Triathlon in upstate New York. His family even made it out to see him in the grueling Hawaiian Ironman, which features a 2.4mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and is capped off with a 26.2-mile run. Theyve pulled for me at races all over the place. It was special to have them here today. It would not have been the same without them here. Despite his familys support and strong finishes, he was never able to cross the finish line first. He finished runner-up at the Wilkes-Barre Duathlon in June, making it his seventh secondplace finish in the eight years of the event. He placed third last year. He also finished third in the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon in 2007 and 2008 and placed fourth in 2010. As for his victory at Sundays triathlon, it was a moment long overdue, said Robbins.
The wins have been tough to come by, he said. To win here on the home course was fantastic. I mean, with the 30th anniversary and my dad passing in March ... Its really special. With more than several hundred triathletes competing in the swim, bike and run event, Robbins was ecstatic about the days success, thanks in-large part to the race committee, volunteers and local residents who came out to support the competitors. (This race) has been such a great thing for the area. I think its got a lot of people from the area racing marathons, and its been tremendous. The committee and volunteers deserve this. Until his death, Jack Robbins attended nearly all of his sons races at the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon since 1994. And yet, from Seans perspective, his father never left his side. I was thinking about him the whole time. It felt like he was out there yelling at me, he said with a smile. He was a great support. Hed be thrilled.

Continued from Page 1B
After Robbins pulled out of the 1.5-kilometer Harveys Lake swimming leg in ninth place, a strong showing for his weakest event, he took the lead in his wave in the first mile of the 40km cycling heat and held it until the finish. With a quick 22-second bike/ run transition, Robbins said he was smooth sailing throughout the 11-km running portion, winning the overall race and defeating second-place finisher Daryl Weaver, of Lititz, by 1:06. Everything just went smooth, said Robbins. There was nothing noteworthy about
the race. It was surprisingly uneventful for me. Robbins championship comes after 17 tries at the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon. Robbins began competing in 1994 and saw his times improve. With tough competition, he said the first-place finish came as a surprise to him. I knew there were some guys who were pretty good, he said. You always eye up the competition going into the race. I thought, Maybe. But theres always going to be faster guys. It took seventeen years to win it but I finally did it. Ciravolo shaved over three minutes off her previous personal best time a 2:20.20 finish in last years weather-logged triathlon. I dont even know where the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon at the top of his things to do list. He was the one who organized a yearly post-race cookout just up from the finish line at Penn State/Wilkes-Barre, and invited just about everyone he saw at the race to join. Owens was the only always handing out awards to the top local finishers of the race. He and McCole have become synonymous with the WilkesBarre Triathlon, and all the good will and good health it stands for. Rich, hes the driving force, McCole said, behind what we do up here. That force spent the triathlons biggest celebration dealing with a devastating emotional blow. You could hear the change in
time came from, said Ciravolo. My goal was to break 2:20. I never thought Id break it by three minutes. Like many top triathletes, Ciravolo was forced to race in a different heat as her top competitor. With staggered start times, Monica Obsitos, of WilkesBarre, competed in a wave four minutes behind Ciravolo. The 32-year-old Obsitos placed second, clocking in at 2:22:12. Monica is a better swimmer than me, said Ciravolo. So I had my work cut out for me. Its tougher to prepare for, not knowing how far behind I was. I knew I had to give it my all on my bike. The Pink Ribbons a co-ed squad consisting of Ashley Tudgay, Rob Reddington and Paul Leonard won the relay race, his voice, at least I could, said McCole, who spoke with Rich Jr. earlier Sunday morning. It certainly wasnt the same thing to him. McCole tried his best to make the day customary. He completed the race once again. In honor of Owens, McCole tore through the waters of Harveys Lake, emerging second among his wave of swimmers. Of course youre always thinking about him, McCole said. Youre certainly going to miss him today. I had an excellent swim. McCole saw excellence from his 16-year-old daughter Stephanie, who completed her second Wilkes-Barre race and dropped a half-hour from her time of two years ago. He beamed over
earning the top spot in the 70team field with a time of 2:19.47. Kevin Augustine, of Wyoming, claimed a victory in the aqua-bike challenge. Augustine, 55, finishing the swimming and cycling heats in 1:41.59. The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon featured 179 individual competitors who completed the race. Mark Fino, 53, of WilkesBarre, became the final runner to cross the finish line after struggling on the bicycle. Fino completed the race to a chorus of cheers by race officials and fans. I trained fairly hard for this race, said Fino. I just wanted to finish more than anything else. There were guys following me around, encouraging me. The support team was great. watching his 14-year-old daughter Danielle take her first forway into the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon waters as part of a relay team. I used to carry them across the finish line, McCole smiled. The 30th year is definitely special for me. Then they were all heading to the cookout tents, where special memories of 30 Wilkes-Barre Triathlons past and present flowed. And where conversations centered around one dedicated man who may not have been present, but was hardly absent from a day to remember.

Most people cant imagine a Wilkes-Barre Triathlon without Richie Owens. Especially his close pal McCole. I always make signs, put signs out on the run course teasing him, McCole, 52, of Wilkes-Barre said. This year I didnt. Yeah, I miss him, miss him a lot. It would have been unthinkable for Richie Owens to miss sharing in what his family believed to be the last hours of his fathers life. Because family has always come first with Owens, even as he always seems to put the

The Southeastern Conference is staying just as it is for now. University of Florida President Bernie Machen, the chairman of the leagues presidents and chancellors committee, said the group met Sunday and reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment. Machen said no action was taken regarding Texas A&M or any other schools. He did not, however, close the door on change. We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to expand the number of institutions in the league, Machen said in a statement. We discussed criteria and process associated with expansion. The Aggies reportedly are looking to leave the Big 12. The Texas A&M System board of regents is to meet Monday, and among the items on the agenda is conference alignment.

DALLAS Frankie Redmond and Deedra Porfirio finished one-two, capturing overall male and female honors in the third annual Pauly Friedman Family 5K Run on Sunday at Misericordia University. Redmond, 22, of Harding, ran away from the field of 30 runners, breaking the tape in 16 minutes and 52 seconds. Porfirio, 34, of West Pittston, finished 2:39 behind Redmond. I was all alone, all the time out there, said Redmond, who ran track and cross country for Wyoming Area High School and Misericordia University. I went out conservatively over the first half of the race. Then I worked the second half a little harder. Redmond, who won AllAmerica honors in the 800-meter run for the Cougars in his junior year, recently finished second, five seconds behind former Baptist Bible College standout Rob Aherns, in the Jack Daniels Mile. Last year, Redmond finished second, one second behind his former coach, Chris Wadas, in the one-miler. I was in better shape for the Jack Daniels Mile last year, said Redmond, who now runs for the Keystone Track Club, based in Harrisburg. This year I wasnt in top form for the onemiler. But I recently bumped up my training (over 50 miles a week). Im in pretty good shape now. On Sunday, Redmond was just at the Pauly Friedman race as a spectator and only decided to run just a few minutes before the start of the race. I heard about what a great cause this race raises money for, he said. So I decided to grab my flats and jump in and support the cause. Proceeds from the race go to Help Line a 24-hour, sevendays-a-week information, referral and crisis service of the Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley. According to race director, Ruth Kemmerer, this years race which featured 126 walkers in addition to the 30
runners has already raised $10,000. And Kemmerer hopes that after the final count is in they will have raised nearly $15,000. Porfirios win yesterday was her fifth in area races this year. The former Pittston Area track standout won the Hazleton Health and Fitness Center 5K Run and the Warrior Trail 5K Run in Shickshinny -- both in April. She won the Old Fort 5Miler in Forty Fort on Memorial Day. And she won the West Pittston Anthracite 4-Mile Run in June. Porfirio has been suffering with an ankle problem of late. But she said her ankle felt good following the race. I havent seen a doctor yet, she said. But I probably should. Today, I took off (fast) right from the start. Once I realized there was nobody around me, I just settled into a nice pace and stayed with it to the end. Both Redmond and Porfirio will be in action this week. Redmond hopes to run in the NEPA Crossfit Mile (the first of three races of the One Source Valleys Fastest Man and Woman Competition) on Wednesday night in Kirby Park. Porfirio will be running in the Pittston Tomato Festival 5K Run on Saturday.

Bradley was two shots behind when he arrived at the pivotal stretch of the course. From left of the 15th green, he hit an aggressive chip that came out too hot and rolled into the water, leading to a triple bogey. That put him five shots behind with three to play. Dufner watched it all unfold from high on the hill as he waited on the 15th tee, his lead suddenly up to four shots over Anders Hansen, who was in the process of making bogey. Dufner, so unflappable all day, had played the ferocious four-hole closing stretch in a combined 3 under for the first three days without every making bogey. This was different. This was

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The New York Giants might be welcoming more than Osi Umenyiora to training camp on Monday. They could be getting a new kicker, too. Lawrence Tynes bruised his right thigh in Saturday nights preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers, and coach Tom Coughlin said Sunday that the veteran kicker will be spending a lot of time with the teams medical personnel this week. Im not going to predict how long hell be out, Coughlin said. Hell be a fulltime participant in the training room. Thats for sure. Coughlin was not sure whether the Giants would sign a kicker this week but it seems unlikely that Tynes will be able to play a week from Monday against Chicago. He was on crutches after the game, the result of being run into on a blocked second-half field goal. We have one solid option if we decide not to do that, but if we decide (that) then it will be relatively early in the week, obviously, said Coughlin, who indicated he didnt want to burden punter Matt Dodge with kickoff duties because the second-year player is competing with Steve Weatherofrd for a job. The update on Tynes came a little more than an hour before Umenyiora told The Associated Press that he will return to work on Monday despite not getting a new contract. Umenyiora said the Giants offered to put incentives in his deal, which will pay him $7.1 million over the next two seasons, but he rejected them. No deal has been reworked, Umenyiora told the AP. What has been offered has been unacceptable and shows they dont really respect the fact I sacrifice my health for the franchise. I will play under my current deal because I love and respect my coaches, my teammates, the fans, and myself. Not for those incentives. The nine-year NFL veteran hasnt practiced since reporting to training camp on July 30, a day late. He failed to report on time because he alleged that general manager Jerry Reese told him after last season that the team would rework his contract. The 29-year-old Umenyiora shared the team lead with 11.5 sacks last season and he had a league-high 10 forced fumbles. The return of Umenyiora comes two days after secondyear pro Jason Pierre-Paul recorded two sacks and played well filling in at right end for Umenyiora.
best for both sides to move on. Wide receiver Mike Wallace says the Steelers welcomed Cotchery with open arms and believes Cotcherys versatility will help Pittsburghs offense. Cotchery will make his Steelers debut on Thursday against Philadelphia.
REDSKINS
ASHBURN, Va. This was yet another kick-off that had very little return. The Washington Redskins duel of the kicking Grahams, which was supposed to provide some special teams drama throughout the preseason, lasted all of one game thanks to a sudden wild streak from one of the most reliable veterans of all time. Shayne Graham was cut by the Redskins on Sunday, two days after he shanked a 29-yard field goal attempt and also missed a 49-yarder in Fridays 16-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move leaves incumbent Graham Gano, who ranked last in field goal accuracy in the NFL last season, as the only kicker in training camp. Gano hit from 32, 34 and 45 yards against the Steelers. We havent solved our kicking issue, special teams coach Danny Smith said. He had a good game at 3 for 3 with a guy that wasnt very productive. We made a decision to let that guy go. We did find out coming out of that game that Shayne Graham wasnt the guy. We didnt prove the point that were solid at kicker yet. Gano will continue to work by himself for now, although the team will keep an eye out for available unemployed kickers for the rest of preseason.
COLTS
INDIANAPOLIS Colts coach Jim Caldwell isnt worried about his backup quarterbacks, despite their struggles in the preseason opener Saturday against the St. Louis Rams. With Peyton Manning out while nursing a neck injury, reserves Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky got the early action in a 33-10 loss. They combined to complete 7 of 16 passes with three interceptions. Painter led the Colts to a field goal on his second, and last, possession. Orlovsky threw two interceptions, but he also completed a 44-yard touchdown pass to Taj Smith in the third quarter.

This makes seven straight majors won by players who had never before captured a Grand Slam event, the longest streak in history. Hes got a good pedigree with Pat Bradley in the family, Dufner said. Im sure hes picked up a few things from her about winning, attitude and golf in general. Hes probably got a pretty strong future out here. Bradley now moves to No. 29 in the world, and ends the longest American drought in the majors at six tournaments. Phil Mickelson had been the last American at the 2010 Masters, and perhaps thats only fitting. Mickelson has been playing money games during practice rounds at the big tournaments with Bradley, wanting him to be Highest Prices Paid In Cash. prepared to play for something Free Pickup.

Sunday. Dufner, for the first time showing even a trace of emotion, winced slightly when he saw the flight of his tee shot. It found the pond to the right of the green, yet he poured in a 12foot putt to at least escape with bogey. His lead was still four shots, and when he split the middle of the 16th fairway, he seemed to be on his way. Then came an unlikely chain of events. Bradley stuffed his shot into 8 feet for birdie on the 16th. Behind him in the final group, Dufner hit into the right bunker, blasted out to 10 feet and made bogey. Now his lead was down to two shots.

ATLANTA The Chicago Cubs stopped Dan Ugglas 33-game hitting streak and rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Sunday. The Braves led 4-0 through five innings and 5-4 through six before Carlos Penas two-run homer in the seventh. Ugglas streak was the longest in the majors in five years. He was 0-for-3 with an RBI. His best chance to extend the streak came in the fifth. Second baseman Darwin Barney made a diving catch of Ugglas fly ball in shallow right field. Uggla grounded out to shortstop against Jeff Samardzija in the seventh in his final at-bat. He didnt come up in the ninth, when Carlos Marmol earned his 28th save. MIAMI Ryan Vogelsong pitched into the eighth inning to earn his career-high 10th win and the San Francisco Giants used four home runs to beat the slumping Florida Marlins. Cody Ross ended the Giants major league-record streak of 21 consecutive solo homers when he hit a two-run shot in the third inning. It was the first non-solo homer for San Francisco since July 6. CINCINNATI San Diego scored four runs in the third inning off an ailing Dontrelle Willis, who left during the rally with a sore forearm, and the Padres avoided a sweep with a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Willis (0-3) left during the four-run rally, shaking and flexing his pitching hand. Hell be examined again on Monday. A day after the Reds hit seven homers, all they managed was four hits, including Jay Bruces three-run shot off Wade LeBlanc (1-2). MILWAUKEE Nyjer Morgans game-ending sacrifice fly

in the 10th inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers a win over the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates and a series sweep. The Brewers have now won all eight games against the Pirates this season and 12 straight over the last two years at Miller Park. The last time the Pirates won at Miller Park was April 28, 2010. The Pirates have won just two of the teams last 36 games in Milwaukee. PHOENIX (AP) Justin Upton homered and Paul Goldschmidt doubled twice to help the Arizona Diamondbacks edge the New York Mets for their sixth straight win. Arizona starter Jason Marquis, acquired in a July 30 trade from Washington, was hit on the right shin by a line drive and left the game one inning later with a broken fibula. LOS ANGELES Hiroki Kuroda pitched seven strong innings, Justin Sellers hit a three-run drive for his first major league homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Houston Astros to sweep their three-game series. Matt Kemp matched his career high with his 28th homer for the Dodgers, who had lost four in a row before the lowly Astros came to Chavez Ravine. Dioner Navarro had two RBIs and scored twice. ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols hit the longest home run at six-year-old Busch Stadium and the St. Louis Cardinals overcame an injury to starter Edwin Jackson with stellar bullpen work in a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night. Yadier Molina had three hits, a walk and two RBIs for St. Louis, which took two of three from Colorado. The Cardinals remained five games behind NL Central-leading Milwaukee with 42 games to go, six of them against the Brewers.

SEATTLE Charlie Furbush allowed just one run in a career-best seven innings, leading Seattle to the victory. Casper Wells homered and scored two runs for the Mariners, who took two of three from the AL East leaders. For the first time since late June the Red Sox failed to win or split a series. Their lead in the division dwindled to a halfgame over the Yankees, who were rained out on Sunday. Furbush (3-4) yielded four hits in just his fifth start of the season. He struck out a careerhigh six.
Orioles 8, Tigers 5
TORONTO Edwin Encarnacion hit an RBI single in the 10th inning to lift Toronto to the victory. Yunel Escobar walked to begin the 10th against Fernando Rodney (2-5). Mark Teahen struck out and Jose Bautista walked before Hisanori Takahashi came on to retire Adam Lind. Encarnacion followed with a base hit up the alley in leftcenter, scoring Escobar with the winning run as Encarnacions teammates ran out and mobbed him at second base.

Get ready for another gray afternoon as a powerful area of low pressure stirs up trouble off the New Jersey coast. The slow-moving storm was responsible for the downpours yesterday and will give us just the same today. Farther east, the rain is breaking records. New York City set its all-time, one-day record rainfall at over 8 inches, with some spots on Long Island recording nearly a foot of rain (yesterday alone). Closer to home, amounts should stay in the 1 to 4 inch range with localized higher amounts. By Tuesday afternoon, the clouds should start to part, with dry conditions returning for Wednesday and most of Thursday. Temperatures will hold comfortably in the upper 70s to lower 80s. -Ryan Coyle

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE and belittle Sarah. Hes also hostile to her adult children, who are fabulous people. If Sarah wants to see her grandchildren, she goes to their home because he doesnt want them around. I think Sarah is living a miserable existence. She deserves so much more. I know Im not being as good a friend as I can be and I feel guilty but I have lost respect for her. Im sick of hearing how hes trying to be better. Its hard to watch someone who chooses to live her one life this way. How can we support her when we cant stand her spouse or under-
stand her reason for staying in a loveless marriage? Running Short On Sympathy in Texas Dear Running Short: Much as you might like to, you cant run your friends life or use your personal yardstick to measure what is important to her. After years of abuse, Sarahs selfesteem may be shaky, and she doesnt feel prepared to take the financial hit that a divorce would cause. Your friend could use both counseling and legal advice, and if you care about her, you should suggest it. But other than that, if you want to remain friends, stop judging her. Dear Abby: I suffered from severe depression and low self-esteem when
I was younger. Because I didnt have the coping mechanisms to deal with what I was going through, I starved and cut myself. I got treatment, gained weight and stopped cutting. Im 30 now, married and much happier. Im at a healthy weight, so my past eating disorder is no longer obvious. But the scars I bear from the self-injury can be seen from across a room. I dress modestly to cover them most of the time, but I dont want to wear long sleeves and pants for the rest of my life. Id like to wear a swimsuit or tank tops in the summer, but I have no idea how to address the stares and questions that would go along with that. How do you advise me to deal with the reaction to my scars? Way Beyond It Now in Oregon
Dear Way Beyond It: Because your scars are so noticeable, my advice is to be honest. An alternative might be to wear sun-protective jackets when youre not in the water. However, because you do not wish to cover up, you will have to deal with the inevitable questions. How much you choose to reveal would depend upon who is asking. You dont have to share intimate details with a stranger. A way to deflect it would be to respond, Thats very personal and Id rather not discuss it.

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Theres something fierce and mystical in your approach. Ever the warrior, it will be as though you are driven to march on by some distant battle hymn that only you can hear. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Matters of timing will arise. If you get the feeling that you might be too busy to make a commitment to someone, say no straight away instead of waiting to see what happens. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll be in a position to decide with whom youd most like to work and socialize. Go for the one with a gentle smile and a happy face. This person will bring out the best in you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A loved one will be there to provide a touch of kindness when you really could use one. Its moments like these that make you realize why you chose this person to be in your life in the first place. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your cat qualities will come out. Youll be smart, chic and mysterious. Youll quietly observe, in no hurry to get involved unless you see the perfect opportunity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some relationships are best kept on the formal side. You get along with anyone, as long as you stick to the boundaries that best suit the particular relationship. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order to know what action to take next, you must first know the wisdom of inaction. In the stillness, you will feel all of your different options and make a powerful choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Destiny is a weaver. She threads together your life with the life of another to create an intricate design. Youll love the pattern and will want it to repeat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may make a to-do list, but you wont be a slave to it. You realize the value of staying open to the possibilities. An impromptu invitation will bring a touch of spontaneous social magic to your day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Gather more information and connections. You can never have enough. Plus, its so attractive the way you light up when you learn something new or meet someone for the first time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have several projects at various levels of completion, and you wont be satisfied until at least one of them is put to rest. So focus on the one thats nearly finished. Be ruthless. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The glass is neither half-full, nor half-empty. Its all the way filled and brimming over. Sure, some of the content is water, and some of it is air, but both are necessary to live. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 15). You will launch into a brandnew adventure and overcome the fear and obstacles that held you back in the past. Youll enjoy love and friendship as you make more time for social fun in October. Vacations in December and June make you the envy of friends. Libra and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 32, 15, 39 and 25.
