When Master Sgt. William
Janczewski and other re-
ghters at Little Rock Air
Force Base got called into
the ofce a while back,
Janczewski expected bad
news.
Nothing good arrives,
he said of those meetings
Wednesday by phone.
But this time was the excep-
tion.
The Harding native and the
rest of the assembled group
heard a voice on a speaker-
phone announce him as the
recipient of the Air Force
Times Airman of the Year.
The award was for his
heroic and courageous effort
to put out a re dangerously
close to 40,000 gallons of
aviation fuel and evacuate
aircraft and people safely dur-
ing an enemy mortar attack
at the forward operating base
he was stationed at in north
central Afghanistan last year.
He also was honored for
the volunteer work he and his
wife, Jessica, do supporting
families with children born
with heart defects, like their
6-year-old son, Ethan.
I was kind of taken aback
by it, Janczewski, 36, said.
I think one of the Navy guys
(who also was honored) put it
best, Why me?
He was commended for
what hes trained for, and
what hes always wanted to
do as a reghter since join-
ing the Air Force upon gradu-
ation from Wyoming Area
WASHINGTON Americans for genera-
tions have come to depend on door-to-door
mail delivery. Its about as American as apple
pie.
But with the Postal Service facing billions
of dollars in annual losses, the delivery ser-
vice could be virtually phased-out by 2022
under a proposal a House panel was consid-
ering Wednesday. Curbside delivery, which
includes deliveries to mailboxes at the end
of driveways, and cluster box delivery would
replace letter carriers slipping mail into front-
door boxes.
The proposal is part of broader legislation
by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the
House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, designed to cut costs at the cash-
strapped agency by up to $4.5 billion a year.
The Postal Service had a $16 billion loss last
year.
The agency has been moving toward curb-
side and cluster box delivery in new residen-
tial developments since the 1970s. The Postal
Service in April began deciding whether to
provide curbside or cluster box delivery for
people moving into newly built homes, rather
than letting the developers decide.
A balanced approach to saving the Postal
Service means allowing USPS to adapt to
Americas changing use of mail, Issa said.
Done right, these reforms can improve the
customer experience through a more efcient
Postal Service.
About one in three mail customers has to-
their-door delivery, Issa said. The shift would
include safe and secure delivery areas, Issa
said, especially for elderly customers who
receive Social Security checks and prescrip-
tions through the mail.
Sue Brennan, a Postal Service spokeswom-
an, said, While converting delivery away
from the door to curb or centralized delivery
would allow the Postal Service to deliver mail
to more addresses in less time, doing so is not
included in our ve-year plan.
Brennan said the agencys ve-year plan
does call for shifting 20 percent of business
address deliveries from door-to-door to curb-
side and cluster box delivery through 2016.
Rep. Steve Lynch, D-Mass., said the plan
Door-to-door
mail delivery
to be kicked
to the curb?
Cost cutting would eliminate
the service and replace it with
curbside or cluster box delivery

Demolition onW-B landmark set to begin today
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Owners of area brick-and-
mortar businesses, includ-
ing businessman Peter
Sides, are keeping a watch-
ful eye on Congress, hop-
ing that the U.S. House will
soon follow the Senates lead
and adopt The Marketplace
Fairness Act.
Without a federal law that
requires online businesses
to collect sales taxes from
shoppers, businesses that
have the overhead of oper-
ating a physical store and
the requirement to collect
the state-mandated sales tax
from customers are at a dis-
advantage, Sides and others
say.
Businesses all over
Northeast Pennsylvania
simply want a level play-
ing eld when competing
against their online-only
competition, said Sides,
of State College, who
owns the Robert M. Sides
Family Music Centers in
Wilkes-Barre Township,
Williamsport and State
College.
The Marketplace Fairness
Act would take a giant step
toward doing just that. It
received a bipartisan vote
of approval in the U.S.
Senate on May 6, and simi-
lar legislation is already
pending in the House of
Representatives with more
than 60 bipartisan co-spon-
sors, including U.S. Rep.
Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton.

The police chief of a small
town in Pennsylvanias anthra-
cite coal country who is an
outspoken gun-rights advocate
and is trying to organize an
armed, non-government group
says he loves his country and
makes no apologies for post-
ing online videos that boast
his confrontational, profanity-
laced tirades punctuated by his
ring of automatic weapons.
At one point in one of the
videos, he res a weapon and
screams, Come and get it!
after he blasts U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry as a trai-
tor for pledging to sign a
United Nations treaty that
requires ratifying countries to
begin controlling the interna-
tional arms trade.
The chief, Mark Kessler, the
one-man police force of tiny
Gilberton, population approxi-
mately 800, and some other
gun-rights advocates view
the treaty which Congress
would have to ratify for the
U.S. to ofcially take part
as a step toward restricting the
domestic use of more conven-
tional weapons that are per-
sonal property.
In a telephone interview,
Kessler told The Associated
Press that he made the videos
to draw attention to what he
views as the erosion of the con-
stitutional rights of free speech
and to bear arms and to speak
out for the many others who
are afraid to do so.
He also said he is increas-
ingly concerned about what
he views as a government out
of control, citing the FBIs
use of drones, the National
Security Agencys collection
of hundreds of millions of
Americans phone records
and the Internal Revenue
Services scrutiny of applica-
tions for tax-exempt status by
politically active groups.
Im trying to wake people
up to say, Hey, theres a lot
more going on than meets the
eye. Alot more, Kessler said
in an interview from Texas
where the 41-year-old father
of four was vacationing. It
goes way beyond the Second
Amendment, the First
Amendment. Its a shame.
Our founding fathers didnt
intend for our government to
be the way it is.
Kessler, who called him-
self a wholeheartedly good
man who loves his country,
acknowledged that some
people were upset by the
videos, but he said he does
not regret posting them and
insisted that many more peo-
ple were supportive of them.
Gilberton Mayor Mary
Lou Hannon said Wednesday
that she found the language
offensive and understood
that many others did, too.
Theyre like watching an
R-rated movie, Hannon told
AP. The profanity and vio-
lence in it was a little upset-
ting.
The weapons in the video
are legal weapons and belong
to the police department after
he purchased them with his
own money and donated them
in a transaction approved by
the borough council, Hannon
said.
The council, which has had
a contract with Kessler for 14
years, is planning to address
the matter with Kessler in a
private session Wednesday,
Hannon said. She said she sup-
ports his continued employ-
ment, noting that he has made
a lot of residents feel safe and
responds to emergencies at all
hours.
If you were in trouble and
you needed somebody to pro-
tect you, Mark would be the
person you would want run-
ning to your aid, Hannon
said. My experience and that
of many of our residents (is)
he will die for you. Hes loyal
and I think thats important.
Kessler, a former coal miner,
is active in gun-rights circles,
appearing on an online radio
broadcast on the conservative
conspiracy theory website
Infowars, hosting an online
radio show on a website that
bills itself as the voice of the
resistance, speaking at gun-
rights rallies and hosting his
own website where he is seek-
ing recruits for what he calls
the Constitutional Security
Force.
He also has claimed in
recent weeks that his outspo-
ken views on gun rights have
earned him death threats.
On Wednesday, he would
not say how many people
have signed up for the secu-
rity force, but said there are
chapters in 45 states and many
recruits are current or former
members of law enforcement
and the military.

Four must
face trial in
meth ring
ALLENTOWN After almost three
days of testimony, a Lehigh County district
judge ruled four of the alleged main players
in a 23-person drug ring that brought meth-
amphetamines from Mexico to the Lehigh
Valley must face court.
District Judge David M. Howells ruled
Gary J. Kuehner, 32, of Allentown, James
Schwar, 35, of Red Hill, Montgomery
County, and Maria C. Wahlfield, 49, of
San Diego, must stand trial on a number
of dug offenses, including participating in
a corrupt organization. The judge also dis-
missed two possession with intent to deliv-
er charges against Kuehner, who faces 17
other felony counts.
Prior to the start of Wednesdays hear-
ing, Pawel Gajewski, 36, of Weisenberg
Township, gave up his right to a prelimi-
nary hearing and waived his case into
Lehigh County Court.
The Attorney Generals Office alleges the
drug ring brought millions of dollars worth
of meth and marijuana into the Lehigh
Valley over the past five years.
Authorities have identified Schwar as
Kuehners marijuana supplier and Gajewski
as his meth supplier. Gajewski allegedly
received the meth from Wahlfield, agents
with the Attorney Generals Office said.
For much of the three-day hearing, which
began in early June and continued on
Wednesday, lawyers for the four defendants
argued about the meanings of wiretapped
phone conversations that authorities say
helped take down a drug ring.
Agent Thomas Sedor with the Attorney
Generals Office deciphered dozens of
phone conversations and offered his expert
opinion in what was being discussed. In
some conversations, code words such
cousin or Bubba were used to refer to
marijuana, and dubious was used to refer
to meth, he testified.
On Wednesday, prosecutors played
phone conversations between Gajewski and
Wahlfield, his alleged meth supplier.
Wahlfield, Sedor testified, received large
amounts of meth from her connection in
Mexico and took it to Las Vegas, where it
would be shipped by truck to Gajewski at
a Lower Macungie Township hotel. Sedor
testified detectives in Las Vegas con-
ducted surveillance on a meeting between
Gajewski, Wahlfield and an unidentified
man. During this meeting, Sedor alleges, a
meth transaction was made.
Before the drugs could make their way to
the Lehigh Valley, Sedor testified, 14 ounc-
es of meth was intercepted by agents on
June 19, 2012 at a hotel in Lower Macungie
Township. A day later, Gajewski, upset
about the seizure, re-ups with Wahlfield,
ordering an additional eight to nine ounces
of methamphetamines, and asking her if
she can score him some heroin, Sedor testi-
fied.
All of the attorneys argued no drugs were
ever recovered on their clients and some of
them didnt even know each other. Joshua
Karoly, Kuehners attorney, and Charles
Laputka, Schwars attorney, both said their
clients didnt even know Wahlfield, yet they
were all tied to the same corrupt organiza-
tion.
Just because he doesnt know Mrs.
Wahlfield doesnt mean this isnt a corrupt
organization, deputy Attorney General
Michael Dugan argued back.
At the conclusion of the investigation,
agents with the attorney generals office,
along with police, raided several locations,
including Kuehners home and Schwars
home, on July 5, 2012 and recovered 103
handguns and rifles, $49,000 in cash, six
cars, four motorcycles, a four-wheeler and
drug paraphernalia.
Nineteen others charged in the drug
ring have either waived their hearings or
have been ordered to stand trial. Among
them are John Kerstetter, 38, and his wife,
Kimberly Kerstetter, 39, the former owners
of Magnolias Vineyard restaurant in South
Whitehall and were briefly part-owners of
the Trapp Door Gastropub in Emmaus.
Authorities say they discovered more
than 200 plants in a complex marijuana-
growing operation in their South Whitehall
Township home.

The Morning Call
AVOCA Two people were killed
in a violent crash involving a tractor-
trailer and a minivan that was stopped
in the middle of Interstate 81 early
Wednesday morning, state police at
Wyoming said.
Anthony Lizza, 58, of Old Forge,
driving a 2002 Ford minivan, was
stopped in the middle northbound
lane near the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International Airport when the van
was struck from behind by a tractor-
trailer driven by Charles Brown, 62,
of Sugarloaf, at about 2:30 a.m., state
police said.
The impact forced the two vehicles
into the median between the north-
bound and southbound lanes.
Lizza and Jeffrey Godeck, 52, of
Moosic, were killed in the crash.
Godeck was a passenger in the mini-
van.
The crash closed the interstate for
nearly seven hours, causing a seven-
mile backup.
Trafc was detoured at Exit 178-A
onto state Route 315, creating traf-
c congestion through Dupont and
Avoca.
The interstate reopened just after
10 a.m. after the wreckage had been
removed and the crash reconstructed
by investigators.
Southbound lanes were not affected
by the crash.

Gilberton Police Chief Mark Kessler, right, explains the purpose of
his Second Amendment Preservation Resolution that was adopted
at a January meeting of the Gilberton Borough Council in Gliberton.
Listening to Kessler is Gilberton Mayor Mary Lou Hannon.
to move about 30 million
residential addresses from
to-the-door to curbside and
cluster box service would
be virtually impossible in
dense urban areas such as
his hometown of South
Boston crowded with tri-
ple-deckers three apart-
ments stacked on top of
each other.
Youd have to knock
houses down in my neigh-
borhood to build cluster
boxes, Lynch said. This
will not work.
It might work in places
like Manhattan with big
apartment buildings, he
said.
The nancially belea-
guered U.S. Postal Service,
an independent agency,
gets no tax dollars for its
day-to-day operations, but
is subject to congressional
control.
The Postal Service is pur-
suing a major restructuring
throughout its retail, deliv-
ery and mail processing
operations. Since 2006, it
has reduced annual costs
by about $15 billion, cut
its workforce by 193,000
or 28 percent, and consoli-
dated more than 200 mail-
processing locations.
The services losses are
largely due to a decline in
mail volume and a congres-
sional requirement that it
make advance payments to
cover expected health care
costs for future retirees.
About $11.1 billion of last
years losses were due to
payments for future retiree
health costs.
The Postal Service is con-
sidering several options to
x its nances, including
negotiations with unions
to reduce labor costs and
another possible increase in
prices.
The service earlier this
year backpedaled on its
plan to end Saturday mail
delivery after running into
opposition in Congress. It
has tried repeatedly and
unsuccessfully over the past
several years to persuade
Congress to approve ending
Saturday mail delivery and
to free the service from the
advance health payments.
The Senate last year
passed a bill that would
have stopped the Postal
Service from eliminating
Saturday service for at least
two years and required it to
try two years of aggressive
cost cutting instead. The
House didnt pass a bill.

Hunlock Township man jailed
on charges he drove away
after striking a bicyclist who
later died is expected to plead
guilty to related charges.
Under a negotiated plea
deal between prosecutors
and attorney Jonathan Blum,
Matthew James Perkins
waived his right to a prelimi-
nary hearing before District
Judge Donald Whittaker on
Wednesday sending charges
of accidents involving death
and involuntary manslaughter
to Luzerne County Court.
Assistant district attorneys
Michele Hardik and Rebecca
Reimiller withdrew a homi-
cide-by-vehicle charge against
Perkins.
The deal calls for Perkins to
plead guilty to the charges he
waived to county court. If he
opts out, the vehicular homi-
cide charge will be reinstated
for trial.
Perkins, 20, of Hartman
Road, could face a mandatory
one year in jail when he is
sentenced. He remains jailed
at the county prison for lack
of $100,000 bail.
State police at Wyoming
allege Perkins, driving a 2007
Saab, struck Richard Stadts,
73, who was riding a bicycle,
on Route 11 in Plymouth
Township on Aug. 7. Stadts
died at Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township the next day.
A witness wrote down the
license plate number on the
Saab, state
police said.
P e r k i n s
drove away
and returned
to his resi-
dence. He
told his
grandmother
he may have struck a person,
according to the criminal
complaint.
He told state police he con-
sumed a shot of liquor and ran
into the woods where, he told
state police, he did heroin
before returning to his grand-
mothers house, the complaint
says.
Perkins is scheduled to be
formally arraigned in county
court on Oct. 4.
He also waived an unrelat-
ed Jan. 2 Plymouth Township
drunken-driving charge to
county court. He is also fac-
ing unrelated drunken-driving
and drug offenses in county
court from a trafc stop by
Kingston Township police on
Aug. 18, according to court
records.

ordered to pay a $44,188
judgment made in DAiellos
favor stemming from the
car accident and a later jury
trial.
DAiello requests the pay-
ment, according to court
papers, because Balasavage
recently settled a wrong-
ful death suit involving her
infant daughter who died
after a re at their home on
George Avenue in Wilkes-
Barre in July 2007.
DAiellos ling, through
her attorney Anthony Ross,
states Balasavage had previ-
ously lacked the funds to pay
the jury award and recently
settled the wrongful death
suit for $140,000.
According to court papers:
In July 2007, 6-month-
old Emily Joan Hockenbury
died in a re at her parents
George Avenue home.
The girls mother and
father, Balasavage and Scott
Hockenbury, led a wrong-
ful death suit in March 2008
against landlords Anthony
Balucha and his wife, Karen,
alleging defective electrical
outlets caused the blaze.
DAiello sued Balasavage
and the owner of the car she
was driving in November
2008 stemming from a
January 2008 accident on
Scott Street in Wilkes-Barre.
DAiello alleged she was
injured as a result of the
crash.
On March 13, 2013,
DAiello was awarded
$44,188 after a jury trial.
On July 2, 2013,
Balasavage and Hockenbury
led a petition to settle
the wrongful death suit for
$140,000.
This week, DAiello fled
her petition to intervene in
the wrongful death suit to be
paid the money she is owed
from the car accident ver-
dict.
Under Pennsylvania law,
Ross wrote in the petition,
DAiello has an interest in
Balasavages other case
because she is a judgment
creditor of Balasavage.
An attorney who repre-
sents Balasavage, Barry
Penn, of Philadelphia, did
not return messages seeking
comment. Contact informa-
tion for Balasavage could not
be found.
Luzerne County Judge
Lesa Gelb scheduled a hear-
ing on DAiellos request for
Aug. 26.

Taxpayer group behind billboard on
gas missing fromW-B city pumps
WILKES-BARRE An
investigation into fuel miss-
ing from Wilkes-Barre city
pumps has a taxpayer group
fuming a year after it began.
The Wilkes-Barre City
Taxpayers Association rented
a billboard along state Route
309 that pictures city Mayor
Tom Leighton pumping fuel
from the citys pumps into his
personal vehicle.
The groups president
knows the answer to the
question on the billboard,
Mayor Got Gas?, but wants
information on the status of
the investigation launched by
the Luzerne County District
Attorneys Ofce.
Thats why we did it,
said Frank Sorick, associa-
tion president. The ongoing
investigation surfaced well
over a year ago.
The one-month rental fee
was paid for with private
donations, Sorick said. The
photo used in the billboard
was taken by a member of
the association while on pub-
lic property.
The mayor did not return
a call left at his ofce
Wednesday.
District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis said she was
unaware of the billboard,
adding she will not be rushed
into a conclusion.
This investigation is going
to be conducted properly and
it is going to be conducted
thoroughly, she said.
The district attorney said
her ofce has other cases,
including homicides, that
have taken priority over the
more than 67,000 gallons of
gasoline and diesel fuel that
went missing from the city
pumps between July 2010
and June 2012.
The investigation is active
and her staff has met more
than a dozen times on it, she
said. Its not being swept
under the rug, she said.
Bob Kadluboski, a towing
contractor in the city and
critic of Leightons adminis-
tration, led the complaint
with the district attorney on
the missing fuel and said he
planned on meeting with her
as soon as possible to see
whats going on with this.
He also asked the state to
investigate the matter.
The state Department of
Revenue ordered the city to
pay $23,018 in taxes on the
fuel it could not prove was
used for municipal purpos-
es. The penalty and interest
charges assessed raised the
amount to approximately
$26,000.
In June, the department
denied a city appeal of the
assessment. Last week, a
city spokesman said the
city would no longer seek
a refund of the money it
paid to the department and
acknowledged there was lax
oversight and record keep-
ing of who was lling up at
the city pumps located at the
Department of Public Works
yard on North Pennsylvania
Avenue.
But Kadluboski was not
satised with the citys deci-
sion and said he wants people
to be held accountable.
Somebody is responsible
for this $26,000 ne, he
said.
His next step is ling an
ethics complaint over the
missing fuel, he said.

State voter IDtrial recesses in confusion
HARRISBURG The
eighth day of a trial on
Pennsylvanias voter-identi-
cation law ended in disar-
ray Wednesday as plaintiffs
attorneys contesting the laws
constitutionality refused to
rest their case until they learn
more about potential prob-
lems in issuing mandatory
photo ID cards.
Commonwealth Court
Judge Bernard McGinley
expressed impatience at the
slow pace of the trial and
cleared the courtroom briey
to huddle with lawyers from
both sides, but court recessed
for the day with little sign of
a compromise. The state did,
however, present some testi-
mony in defense of the law.
At issue are about 500
registered voters who were
rejected for a Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
identication card last year
and were referred to the
Department of State for a free,
voting-only ID card developed
in August. The Department
of State card was developed
as a last resort for voters who
certify that they do not have
other IDs acceptable for vot-
ing.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs
say more than 100 of those
voters applied for a special
voting-only ID card before the
2012 presidential election, but
didnt receive them until after
the election or, in some cases,
at all.
Enforcement of the March
2012 voter ID law has been
blocked by court orders
since before the election, but
lawyers say last years cases
point up the possibility that
future voters could be disen-
franchised by the law the
central issue in the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs cite their con-
sultants projections that the
law would disenfranchise hun-
dreds of thousands of voters.
Theres a lot of ways that
this law disenfranchises peo-
ple, but this is a very direct
way, said Jennifer Clarke,
executive director of the
Public Interest Law Center
of Philadelphia, a member
of the plaintiffs legal team
that includes the NAACP,
the Pennsylvania League
of Women Voters and the
Homeless Advocacy Project.
PennDOT condential-
ity restrictions limited dis-
closures about some of the
voters in question, fueling the
mutual distrust that is increas-
ingly apparent between the
two sides.

APARECIDA, Brazil
Pope Francis urged Catholics
to resist the ephemeral
idols of money, power and
pleasure in celebrating the
first public Mass of his ini-
tial international foreign
journey as pontiff during an
emotional visit to one of the
most important shrines in
Latin America.
Thousands packed into
the cavernous Basilica of
the Shrine of Our Lady of
Aparecida, tucked into an
agricultural region of ver-
dant fields halfway between
Rio and Sao Paulo, and tens
of thousands more braved
a cold rain outside to catch
a glimpse of the first pope
from the Americas returning
to a shrine of great mean-
ing to the continent and him
personally.
Before the Mass, Francis
stood in silent prayer before
the 15-inch-tall image of
the Virgin of Aparecida, the
Black Mary, his eyes tear-
ing up as he breathed heav-
ily. It was a deeply personal
moment for this pontiff, who
has entrusted his papacy to
the Virgin Mary and, like
many Catholics in Latin
America, places great impor-
tance in Marian devotion.
During his homily, Francis
urged Catholics to keep their
values of faith, generosity
and fraternity, a message he
was expected to repeat later
in the day during a visit to a
drug rehabilitation center in
Rio de Janeiro.
It is true that nowadays,
to some extent, everyone
including our young people
feels attracted by the many
idols which take the place
of God and appear to offer
hope: money, success, power,
pleasure, he said. Often a
growing sense of loneliness
and emptiness in the hearts
of many people leads them
to seek satisfaction in these
ephemeral idols.
The church is struggling
in Latin America to keep
Catholics from straying to
evangelical and Pentecostal
churches that often prom-
ise help in finding material
wealth, an alluring attrac-
tion in a poverty-wracked
continent. Francis top pri-
ority as pope has been to
reach out to the worlds poor
and inspire Catholic lead-
ers to go to slums and other
peripheries to preach.
It was no coincidence,
then, that the first major
event of his first foreign
trip as pope was a Mass in
Aparecida. The tiny shrine,
which draws 11 million
pilgrims a year, hosted a
critical 2007 meeting of
Latin American bishops
who, under the guidance of
then-Cardinal Jorge Mario
Bergoglio, drafted a mis-
sion statement on how to
reinvigorate the faith on the
continent.
Ive seen people in my
own congregation leave
because the Evangelicals
offer them something
new and exciting and the
Catholic Church was seen as
kind of old and stuffy, said
Marcia Cecilia de Souza, the
52-year-old owner of a pri-
vate school in the southern
state of Santa Catarina, as
she searched for newspa-
per to stuff into her soaked
leather boots. Francis is
such an inspiration, so hum-
ble and giving I think hes
going to bring people back
into the fold.
MADRID
Dozens are dead
in train crash
A train derailed in northwestern Spain
on Wednesday night, toppling passenger
cars on their sides and leaving at least
one torn open as smoke rose into the air.
At least 35 were reported dead, with pos-
sibly even more injured.
The accident occurred on high-speed
tracks near the train station in Santiago
de Compostola, 60 miles south of El
Ferrol. Rescue workers were seen in the
television images caring for people still
inside some of the cars.
The train, which belongs to the state-
owned Renfe company, was headed to El
Ferrol from Madrid.

Suit fled against
oil companies
Flood protection ofcials in the New
Orleans area have led a lawsuit seeking
to hold the oil and gas industry responsi-
ble for the erosion of hundreds of acres of
coastal land that serve as a natural buffer
against ooding from hurricanes.
The Southeast Louisiana Flood
Protection Authority-Easts board of com-
missioners led the lawsuit against doz-
ens of companies Wednesday in Orleans
Parish Civil District Court. The board
says corrosive saltwater froma network of
oil and gas access and pipeline canals has
killed vegetation and swept away moun-
tains of soil. The wetlands are considered
a crucial buffer against hurricanes.
The boardsays it will have tobear many
of the costs associated with the need for

WASHINGTON
Delivery of jets
to Egypt delayed
The U.S. is delaying its delivery of F-16
ghter jets to Egypt in light of the mili-
tary overthrow of Mohammed Morsi as
president, but it has not decided whether
to suspend military aid more broadly, the
Pentagon said Wednesday.
Pentagon press secretary George Little
said President Barack Obama made the
decision to hold up the F-16 delivery while
the administration continues to review
options and consult with Congress on
military assistance generally.
The delay was the rst direct action the
U.S. has taken since the Egyptian military
ousted Morsi and installed a new civil-
ian government. Under U.S. law, military
aid to a country that underwent a coup
detat must be suspended. But the Obama
administration says it is still trying to
determine if what happened three weeks
ago in Egypt was in fact a coup.

Senate set
to fnish
work on
loan deal
WASHINGTON Borrowing
for tuition, housing and books
would be less expensive for college
students and their parents this fall
but the costs would start climb-
ing almost immediately under a
deal the Senate was poised to pass
Wednesday.
The bipartisan proposal law-
makers were considering would
link interest rates on federal stu-
dent loans to the nancial mar-
kets, providing lower interest rates
right away but higher ones if the
economy improves as expected.
Senate aides said lawmakers were
on track to nish work by late
Wednesday afternoon.
Liberal Democrats labeled the
White House-backed proposal
a bait-and-switch measure that
would lure in new borrowers with
low rates now but would cost
future students.
The bill before us today offers
students and families lower stu-
dent loan interest rates in the
near-term, but we can fully expect
higher student loan interest rates
in the years to come, said Sen.
Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis. Why on
earth would we want to expose our
students to higher rates?
The White House and its allies
said the new loan structure would
offer lower rates to 11 million bor-
rowers right away and save the
average undergraduate $1,500 in
interest charges. Democratic lead-
ers expected widespread defec-
tions from within their ranks but
expected Republican support
would help them win passage.
But there was no denying the
new structure could cost future
students if the economy improves
as expected and interest rates
climb. The White Houses allies
instead suggested the new formula
is better than the status quo.
Under the plan,
undergraduates this fall
could borrow at a 3.9
percent interest rate.
PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
GALESBURG, Ill.
President Barack Obama said
Wednesday that Washington
has taken its eye off the
ball as he pledged a stronger
second-term commitment to
tackling the economic woes
that strain many in the middle
class nearly ve years after the
country plunged into a reces-
sion.
Obama returned to the col-
lege campus where he gave his
rst major economic address
as a U.S. senator, and he
chided Congress for being less
concerned about the economy
and more about an endless
parade of distractions, politi-
cal posturing and phony scan-
dals.
I am here to say this needs
to stop, Obama said in a
speech at Knox College. This
moment does not require
short term thinking. It does
not require having the same
old stale debates.
The presidents attempt
to refocus on the economy
comes amid some hopeful
signs of improvement, with
the unemployment rate falling
and consumer condence on
the rise. But looming spend-
ing and budget deadlines this
fall could upend that progress
if Washington spirals into con-
tentious scal ghts like those
that plagued Obamas rst
term.
I believe there are members
of both parties who under-
stand whats at stake, Obama
said. But I will not allow grid-
lock, inaction or willful indif-
ference to get in our way.
Even before the president
spoke, Republicans panned his
pivot back to the economy as
little more than vague, empty
promises.
Its a hollow shell, its an
Easter Egg with no candy in
it, said House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio.
The president announced
no fresh policy proposals,
though he promised new ideas
in a series of speeches he plans
in the coming weeks. They
will focus on manufacturing,
education, housing, retire-
ment security and health care.
On education, the presi-
dent promised to outline an
aggressive strategy to shake
up the system, tackle rising
costs, and improve value for
middle-class students and
their families. He renewed
his call for increasing the mini-
mum wage.
Despite pressing public
concerns over jobs and eco-
nomic security, the economy
has taken a back seat in
Washington to other issues in
the rst six months of Obamas
second term. Thats in part
due to the White Houses deci-
sion to focus on other agenda
items following Obamas re-
election, most notably stricter
gun control measures and
immigration.
Some distractions also have
thrown the White House off
balance, including revelations
that the Internal Revenue
Service targeted politi-
cal groups and the Justice
Departments seizure of jour-
nalists phone records. Foreign
policy crises, particularly in
the Middle East, have compet-
ed for Obamas attention, too.
The president said that
while he will continue to press
for his other agenda items,
there will be fewresources and
little resolve for solving other
problems without a strong
economy.
This growing inequality
isnt just morally wrong. Its
bad economics, Obama said.
When the rungs on the ladder
of opportunity grow farther
apart, it undermines the very
essence of this country.

Snowden to stay in Russia, for now, lawyer says
MOSCOW National
Security Agency leaker
Edward Snowden, who
ed to Moscows airport a
month ago, aims to stay in
Russia for the near future
and learn the countrys cul-
ture and language, his law-
yer said Wednesday.
To get him started,
Anatoly Kucherena said he
gave Snowden a copy of
Crime and Punishment,
Dostoyevskys lengthy novel
about the torment and
redemption of a man who
thought himself outside the
law.
I am not talking about
the similarity of inner con-
tradictions, Kucherena
said after meeting Snowden
in the transit zone of
Sheremetyevo international
airport, where Snowden has
apparently been marooned
since arriving from Hong
Kong on June 23.
The days developments
left the White House
and nearly everyone else
seeking clarity about
the status of the man who
revealed details of an NSA
program to monitor Internet
and telephone communica-
tions.
When Snowden rst
arrived at Sheremetyevo, he
was believed to be planning
just to transfer to a ight to
Cuba and then to Venezuela
to seek asylum. But the
United States, which wants
him returned for prosecu-
tion, canceled his passport,
stranding him. He hasnt
been seen in public since,
although he met with human
rights activ-
ists and law-
yers July 12.
Snowden
then applied
for tempo-
rary asylum
in Russia,
saying he
event ual l y
wanted to visit countries
that had offered him asy-
lum: Venezuela, Bolivia and
Nicaragua.
Its unclear how long
Russia will take to decide
on the asylum request.
Kucherenas meeting
Wednesday with Snowden
was preceded by a flurry of
reports that said the lawyer
would give him documenta-
tion that would allow him to
leave the airport while the
asylum process is underway.
But Kucherena said he
had no such paperwork to
pass along. The Federal
Migration Service, which
would issue such a docu-
ment, said it had no infor-
mation.
Asked about Snowdens
long-term intentions,
Kucherena told state televi-
sion that Russia is his final
destination for now. He
doesnt look further into the
future than that.
White House spokes-
man Jay Carney said the
U.S. was seeking clarity
as the reports swirled of
Snowdens possible immi-
nent departure from the
airport. The head of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, Robert
Menendez, said provid-
ing any refuge to Edward
Snowden will be harmful to
U.S.-Russia relations.

County judges attending
conference inHershey
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE Six
Luzerne County judges
will travel to Hershey this
week to take part in the
Pennsylvania Conference
of State Trial Judges to
brush up on several areas
of law.
The conference, which
began Wednesday and
continues until Saturday
morning, is one of two
meetings scheduled each
year for state judges to
come together to discuss
issues of the day and
topics of current interest
to trial judges, county
President Judge Thomas
Burke said.
The conference affords
an opportunity to judges
to talk and interact with
several hundred judges
from across the state,
Burke said. The annual
conference presents a sig-
nicant opportunity for
judges to attend seminars
and presentations on vari-
ous areas of law.
Burke said ve of the
full-time judges, includ-
ing himself, and one
senior judge will travel
to Hershey this week
whenever their schedules
allow to attend the confer-
ence.
Burke said this years
topics center on medi-
cal malpractice cases,
updates on new sex-
offender laws and a
review of appellate court
practices as they apply
to the responsibilities of
county judges.
In addition, Burke said,
judges are able to partici-
pate in meetings involv-
ing their areas of con-
centration, which include
civil, criminal, juvenile
delinquency and depen-
dency court proceedings.
Other informational
sessions to be presented
at the conference, Burke
said, include the use
of interpreters in court
proceedings and the care-
ful handling of child wit-
nesses in court proceed-
ings.
(Those topics) are
consistent with the theme
of access to justice,
Burke said.
He said other judges
who are not attending the
conference will be con-
ducting regular court pro-
ceedings for the remain-
der of the week.
Man wanted in Mich., facing trial
in Luzerne County released on bail
By EDWARD LEWIS

sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A
Mountain Top man cap-
tured last week on a fugi-
tive warrant charging him
with child sex crimes in
Michigan was released
from jail on Wednesday
after Luzerne County
Judge Lisa Gelb modied
his bail.
Authorities in Detroit,
Mich., were scheduled
to take custody of David
Zarn, 46, on Friday
to take him to Wayne
County, Mich., where
he is charged with eight
counts of criminal sexual
contact involving two
girls.
He also faces a num-
ber of charges in Luzerne
County relating to the
sexual assault of two girls.
Zarns attorney, Joseph
Sklarosky Sr., led a peti-
tion around 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday to modify
Zarns bail of $100,000.
David Zarn is inno-
cent of all these
charges both in
Pennsylvania and
Michigan and
intends to vig-
orously defend
against such
false charges,
Sklarosky wrote.
Sklarosky stated
the charges were vicious
and bogus.
The attorney stated
one of the girls had been
disciplined for conduct
between her and her boy-
friend, so the girl fabri-
cated the sexual assault
claim. Gelb also recently
ruled that that informa-
tion would be permitted
to be introduced at Zarns
November trial.
A hearing was sched-
uled by Judge Thomas
Burke for noonbefore Gelb
shortly after Sklarosky
led the petition with a
short notice given to the
District Attorneys
Ofce. First
Assistant District
Attorney Samuel
S a n g u e d o l c e
appeared at the
hearing.
Gelb reduced
Zarns bail to
$50,000, an amount
Zarn was able to post
through Michael Smith
Bail Bonds. The judge
said Zarn must wear an
electronic monitor and
have no contact with
minors.
Sklarosky wrote that
Zarn owns a home in
Wright Township, has
complied with the condi-
tions of his previous bail,
is not a ight risk and is
under severe nancial
strain. Zarn will have
to meet bail and defense
obligations in Michigan
and having Zarn released
on bail would allow him to
go to Michigan and secure
counsel there, Sklaroskys
petition stated.
Prosecutors said they
could not comment on the
hearing Wednesday.
Arrest warrants by
Detroit police issued on
May 7 allege Zarn sexual-
ly assaulted two girls for
several years in the mid-to
late 2000s.
Wright Township
police and county detec-
tives arrested Zarn on the
fugitive warrants from
Michigan on July 15.
Separately, court
records state Wright
Township police and
county detectives charged
Zarn in October after two
girls, ages 16 and 14,
said he sexually assaulted
them inside his Mountain
Top home.

The question is, what

Ofcials question Hazleton transit funding
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council
somewhat reluctantly voted
Tuesday to give the Hazleton
Public Transit an annual allo-
cation of $127,949 toward its
bus service in the countys
southern end.
Several council mem-
bers hesitated because
Hazleton ofcials have
refused the states push to
put their busing service
under the Luzerne County
Transportation Authority.
The Pennsylvania
Department of
Transportation estimated a
merger could save as much
as $1 million annually and
reduce the countys overall
contribution toward busing,
said county Manager Robert
Lawton. The county pays
an annual allocation to the
LCTA, which is $485,345
this year.
Lawton also noted the
Hazleton Public Transit,
which serves the city and
its suburbs, has an estimat-
ed $400,000 reserve that
could be tapped as a local
match if the county halted its
funding.
Council members agreed
Tuesday night to require
city ofcials to appear before
them to explain why they
wont accept a merger or
stop relying on a county con-
tribution.
County Councilman Rick
Williams voted against the
Hazleton allocation Tuesday.
I support the people of
Hazleton. They should have
good bus service, but I have
yet to hear any really com-
pelling reasons why they
couldnt merge, so Imvoting
no, Williams said.
Council members
Stephen A. Urban, Stephen
J. Urban, Jim Bobeck and
Edward Brominski voted for
the allocation but voiced res-
ervations.
I do believe we are fund-
ing operational inefcien-
cies, Bobeck said, empha-
sizing Hazleton should not
count on county funding
next year.
Stephen A. Urban said
he wants Hazleton Mayor
Joseph Yannuzzi and other
city ofcials to justify the
county funding, especially
in light of the citys property
tax increase. The city millage
rate increased 45 percent this
year.
This is really a gift to the
city of Hazleton because they
cant or dont want to make
payments on their own, he
said.
Councilwoman Elaine
Maddon Curry, who support-
ed the allocation, disagreed
with the use of the word
gift and said Hazleton
ofcials told her they dont
believe a merger would save
money or maintain the qual-
ity of Hazleton-area bus ser-
vice.
Council members Eugene
Kelleher, Tim McGinley
and Linda McClosky Houck
also voted for the alloca-
tion. Council members Rick
Morelli and Harry Haas were
absent.
Yannuzzi weighs in
Yannuzzi said Wednesday
that the Public Transit, a
branch of city government,
has an executive director
and buses but relies on out-
side contractors to fuel, drive
and maintain the vehicles.
City ofcials believe these
contracts are cheaper than
hiring staffers.
We have no unions and
no pensions for bus transpor-
tation, said Yannuzzi. We
pay a at price, and weve
been doing well.
The city requests a county
match because one is pro-
vided to the LCTA for bus
transportation in the coun-
tys northern end, he said.
Yannuzzi also points to a
controversy over the track-
ing of senior citizen bus rid-
ers at the LCTAand said city
ofcials dont want to risk a
decline in service. Many
workers rely on the buses
to access workplaces in the
Humboldt Industrial Park in
Hazle Township, he said.
WILKES-BARRE A
Hazleton man charged
with pistol-whipping one
man and holding others
against their will in a
November 2012 incident
will stand trial on related
charges in September.
Reginald McCoy, 42, of
Peace Street, appeared
Wednesday in Luzerne
County Court, where he
was expected to enter
a guilty plea to three
related charges based on
an agreement made at
the time of his prelimi-
nary hearing. Instead,
McCoy said he elected
to stand trial, result-
ing in Assistant District
Attorney Molly Hanlon
Mirabito reinstating
the original 10 charges
against McCoy.
McCoy will be tried
Sept. 3 on two counts
of simple assault, two
counts of reckless endan-
germent, two counts
of harassment and one
count each of unlaw-
ful restraint, terroristic
threats, false impris-
onment and resisting
arrest, said County
Judge David Lupas.
McCoy is represented
by attorney Charles Ross.
McCoy previous-
ly had been jailed at
the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility but
was released in May on
$25,000 unsecured bail
that carries a number of
conditions, including a
curfew, counseling and
having no contact with
victims involved in the
case.
According to the crim-
inal complaint filed by
Hazleton police, they
were called on Nov. 25
to Monges Street for the
report of a man who was
assaulting people with a
gun. Police were told one
man, Gary Stemko, had
been pistol-whipped and
that several other people
were being held against
their will in a nearby
house.
Stemko told police he
was sleeping when he
heard a man he identified
as McCoy yelling out-
side. McCoy kicked open
the door to an apartment
on Lyons Court, Stemko
said.
McCoy allegedly said
he was looking for a
man known as Twinky
and he was going to kill
Twinky and his whole
family.
Stemko said he was
confronted by McCoy,
who hit him in the head
with a pistol, according
to the complaint. McCoy
then ran to the Lyons
Court home, Stemko
said.
Police said they could
hear yelling coming
from inside the apart-
ment. Police said two
adults and three children
6-years-old and under
were also in the apart-
ment, hiding in a bed-
room.
McCoy was using a
pellet gun in the incident
and had struck a male
inside the apartment
with it, police said.
When police tried to
place McCoy in a police
vehicle, he spit in the car,
refused to walk and had
to be carried by officers,
police said. McCoy con-
tinued to spit on officers
at police headquarters,
according to the criminal
complaint.

City police said
Wednesday they arrested
a convicted felon when
he was found with a load-
ed handgun and heroin
packets.
Phillip Maurice
Harvey, 37, of Irving
Place, Wilkes-Barre, was
arraigned Wednesday on
illegal possession of a
firearm and possession
with intent to deliver a
controlled substance. He
was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional
Facility for lack of
$50,000 bail.
Police said they
stopped Harvey walk-
ing in the area of Irving
Place and Academy
Street, which they call a
high-crime area, at about
3 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the crimi-
nal complaint:
An officer approached
Harvey, asking if he
lived in the area. Harvey
replied, Yes, I live at 40
Irving Place.
The officer asked
Harvey for identification,
which Harvey said was
in his residence. Harvey
became nervous, began
to breathe heavily and
avoided eye contact with
the officer, according to
the complaint. The offi-
cer then noticed a bulge in
Har vey s
w a i s t -
band.
A
r e c o r d s
c h e c k
s h o w e d
an active
a r r e s t
warrant for Harvey, the
complaint states. Police
said they lifted Harveys
shirt and found a con-
cealed gun. A quantity of
heroin, $391 and a cell-
phone were also found in
Harveys pocket, accord-
ing to the affidavit.
The gun, a .45-caliber,
was loaded, police said.
A search warrant was
served at Harveys resi-
dence, where police said
they found two boxes of
ammunition, a digital
scale, an address book, a
razor blade, small plastic
bags, a box containing
rubber bands, a pipe,
two plastic bags contain-
ing white powder and a
bag containing heroin,
according to the search
warrant return receipt.
Harvey had been con-
victed in 1998 on a drug
charge, police said.
A preliminary hearing
is scheduled on Aug. 6.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Education ofcials in most of
the states that have adopted
Common Core standards
say they will go forward with
the benchmarks for reading,
writing and math despite
objections, according to a
survey released Wednesday.
The independent non-
prot Center on Education
Policy at George Washington
University said 37 of the
40 states that responded
to its survey this spring
considered it unlikely that
they would reverse, limit
or change their decision to
adopt the Common Core
education standards during
the upcoming school year.
The center didnt identify
the states that participated
but noted that some of the
states that didnt respond
were dealing with pushback
a factor that could affect
the results.
The new Common Core
standards replace a hodge-
podge of educational goals
that had varied greatly from
statetostate. Thefederal gov-
ernment was not involved in
the state-led effort to develop
thembut has encouraged the
project. The only states not
to adopt the standards are
Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and
Virginia. Minnesota adopted
the reading but not the math
standards.
While proponents say
the new standards will bet-
ter prepare students, critics
worry theyll set a national
curriculumfor public schools
rather than letting states
decide what is best for their
students.
Efforts to slow down
or derail the standards
sprung up this year
in Kansas, Missouri,
Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Indiana, Alabama,
South Carolina and Utah.
Meanwhile, the Republican
National Committee passed
a resolution calling the
standards an inappropriate
overreach.
Maria Ferguson, executive
director of the Center on
Education Policy, dismissed
the efforts against the stan-
dards. School districts and
states are practical, she
said. The resources that
have been put into this are
pretty profound. And you
have to think about, if not
this, what?
Most states described
overcoming resistance to
the Common Core as either
a minor or nonexistent chal-
lenge, the survey found.
Only two states found that
that overcoming resistance
from colleges and universi-
ties was a major challenge.
And only ve felt that over-
coming resistance from out-
side the education system
was a major challenge.
The opposition, however,
wasnt convinced.
I still think there are lin-
gering questions, to say the
very least, said Jonathan
Butcher, education direc-
tor for the Phoenix-based
conservative Goldwater
Institute, which has opposed
the standards. He said the
big issue is the rollout of new
tests designed around the
new standards. The tests are
electronic, and one concern
is that states lack the band-
width and enough comput-
ers to administer them.
Two upcoming reports
from the Center on
Education Policy will look
specically at testing issues,
Ferguson said.
People who say the federal
government has gone too far
point to the money provided
to consortiums developing
Common Core tests. They
also note that the Education
Department encouraged
states to adopt the standards
to compete for Race to the
Top grants and seek waivers
around some of the unpopu-
lar prociency requirements
of the No Child Left Behind
education law.

Associated Press
Weiner faces
growing calls
to quit race
NEW YORK Anthony
Weiner pressed ahead with
his bidfor mayor Wednesday
despite growing calls for
him to drop out over a
new sexting scandal, say-
ing the campaign is too
important to abandon over
embarrassing personal
things becoming public.
Rivals, newspaper edito-
rial pages and at least one
former New York congres-
sional colleague urged the
Democrat to quit the race a
day after he acknowledged
exchanging raunchy mes-
sages and photos online
even after the same sort of
behavior destroyed his con-
gressional career two years
ago.
I think he should pull out
of the race. I think he needs
serious psychiatric help,
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.
Weiner brushed off such
calls and kept up his cam-
paign schedule. He was
greeted with boos as he
took the stage to speak at
a public housing meeting
Wednesday evening, but by
the end of his remarks, the
crowd loudly cheered.
I thought these things
would come out by the end
of the campaign, and some
of them have. Look, I am
pressing forward, running a
campaign about the issues,
and Im getting a good
response, he said after-
ward.
The latest scandal
erupted Tuesday after the
gossip website The Dirty
posted X-rated messages
and a crotch shot it said he
exchanged with a woman
last year while using the
online alias Carlos Danger.
At a news conference
Tuesday evening, Weiner,
who has been a favorite in
the polls since he launched
his political comeback
attempt in late May, stood
side-by-side with his clearly
uncomfortable wife, Huma
Abedin, and said he hoped
the voters would give him
another chance.
Abedin, a longtime
adviser to former Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton, reafrmed her love
and support for her husband
and said the matter was
between us.
Two of the citys major
newspapers, The New
York Times and the Daily
News, said the 48-year-old
Democrat had exhausted
his opportunities for forgive-
ness with his latest indiscre-
tions.
The serially evasive
Mr. Weiner should take his
marital troubles and per-
sonal compulsions out of the
public eye and the mayoral
race, the Times wrote.
The Daily News declared
Weiner to be lacking
the dignity and discipline
that New York deserves
in a mayor, and said his
demons have no place in
City Hall.
At least three of his may-
oral rivals, Public Advocate
Bill de Blasio and for-
mer City Councilman Sal
Albanese, both Democrats,
and billionaire business-
man John Catsimatidis, a
Republican, said he should
drop out.
Anthonys presence
in this race has become a
never-ending sideshow that
is distracting us from the
debate of the serious issues
of this election, de Blasio
said.
City Council Speaker
Christine Quinn and for-
mer City Comptroller Bill
Thompson, Weiners stron-
gest rivals in the polls, criti-
cized him but didnt directly
call on him to quit.
Thompson said on
WNYC-AM that Weiner
should think about the peo-
ple of this city and make the
right decision, while Quinn
said at a news conference
that it is up to Weiner and
his family to decide whether
he should end his run, but
New Yorkers need a mayor
whose is sole focus isnt self-
aggrandizement.
Weiner has emphasized
that he said when launch-
ing his campaign that more
messages might emerge.
But until Tuesday, he never
said directly that some were
sent as recently as last year.
I regret not saying explic-
itly when these exchanges
happened, he told support-
ers in an email Wednesday.
But Weiner said the cam-
paign was too important
to give up because Ive had
embarrassing personal
things become public. And
he said he wasnt surprised
his opponents wanted him
out.
Democratic strategists in
New York and Washington,
where Weiner served seven
terms before resigning in
2011, said there are few
external means of pressur-
ing Weiner to drop out.
Weiner has nearly $5
million to spend on the
campaign, allowing him to
mount a vigorous defense
on television. Also, he was
not particularly close to his
colleagues in the congres-
sional delegation, the strat-
egists said, so he might be
unmoved if they urge him to
exit the race.
As for the voters, some
want Weiner to go.
Hes disgusting, said
magazine editorial assistant
Katelin Marinari, 24.
But others said they
would still vote for him.
Do I think morally hes
wrong? Of course. But Im
not voting for a minister; Im
voting for a mayor of New
York, said public relations
worker Raven Robinson, 22.
A Quinnipiac University
poll released Wednesday
continued to place Weiner in
the top rung of Democratic
contenders with Quinn and
Thompson, though it was
taken largely before the
scandal broke.
I have posited this whole
campaign on a bet, and
that is that, at the end of
the day, citizens are more
interested in the challenge
they face in their lives than
in anything that I have
done, embarrassing, in my
past, he told reporters out-
side his Manhattan home
Wednesday morning.
The unidentied woman
involved in the newly dis-
closed messages told The
Dirty that she was 22 when
she began chatting with
Weiner on a social network-
ing site in July 2012, and
that their exchanges lasted
six months.
The Dirty posted explicit
conversations of two people
fantasizing about various
sex acts, and ran a pixelated
photo of what it said were
Weiners genitals.

ROQUE BLUFFS, Maine
Authorities say two
women, including one from
Pennsylvania, who got lost
while hiking in a Maine state
park died in a car accident
shortly after their rescue.
Th i r t y - e i g h t - y e a r - o l d
Melissa Moyer, of Sunbury,
and 37-year-old Amy Stiner, of
Machias, were killed Tuesday
night when they drove their
car into the ocean after going
the wrong way down a road.
Washington County Sheriff
Donnie Smith said Stiner was
ve months pregnant.
Earlier in the evening, the
women hiked in Roque Bluffs
State Park but got lost and
called for help. A landowner
found them and their dog and
gave them rides on his ATV
back to his house, where a
warden picked them up and
brought them to their vehicle,
which was parked at the park.
But Stiner then drove
toward the boat ramp instead
of the other direction to
Machias, Smith said.
Authorities found the sub-
merged car about 175 feet off
the boat ramp, the women and
the dog inside with the doors
closed and the windows up.
Weather could have contrib-
uted to the accident, Smith
said.
They called on the phone
that they were in the water
and the car was filling up.
Then the phone went dead,
Smith said. An hour later,
the deputies found the car.
It appears they went the
wrong direction and drove
off the ramp, he said. If you
dont know the area, in the
fog and rain it wouldnt be a
difficult thing to do.

Defying state, gay
couple marry in
Montgomery County
JENNY DEHUFF
The Times Herald of Norristown
NORRISTOWN
Montgomery County made
history Wednesday by issu-
ing the rst same-sex mar-
riage licenses in the state of
Pennsylvania.
Loreen M. Bloodgood
and Alicia A. Terrizzi, both
of Pottstown, were married
hours after Register of Wills
and Clerk of the Orphans
Court D. Bruce Hanes grant-
ed them a marriage license
just after 8 a.m.
Hanes said he waived the
three-day waiting period
typical of all marriage licens-
es for the couple because
they were leaving the area
soon and wanted to expedite
their wedding. Waivers of
the sort are at the discretion
of the Clerk of the Orphans
Court.
Sasha Esther Ballen and
Diana Lynn Spagnuolo, both
of Wynnewood, Pa., came
in not long after and were
granted a marriage license.
They have been in a relation-
ship for 17 years and came
in with two school-age boys,
said Hanes.
I knew, driving in, that
we could have a line around
the block, said Hanes.
Tears, all over the place.
Everybodys crying.
In other states with same-
sex marriage bans, licenses
issued by deant local of-
cials have been voided by
courts.
Less than two weeks ago,
the American Civil Liberties
Union led a lawsuit against
the commonwealth, naming
Attorney General Kathleen
Kane and Gov. Tom Corbett
as defendants. The suit fol-
lows the U.S. Supreme Court
decision that declares the
federal Defense of Marriage
Act unconstitutional. Similar
suits are being pursued in
Virginia and North Carolina.
Attorneys with the
Americans Civil Liberties
Union had cautioned that
courts could invalidate the
marriages. The group has a
separate lawsuit pending to
challenge the state law.
County Commissioners
Chairman Josh Shapiro says
marriage equality will come
to Pennsylvania. He says its
just a question of howlong it
will take.
Current state law denes
a marriage as a civil con-
tract between a man and a
woman.
Editorial
It isnt often that the House gets it
right on immigration reform, at least
not in recent years. Yet it has done so
with the Border Security Results Act
of 2013, a sensible piece of legislation
that has miraculously emerged from
the Committee on Homeland Security
and that strikes a fair balance between
enforcement and scal responsibility.
Unlike the Senates approach, which
throws $46 billion at the U.S.-Mexican
border without any real strategy
behind it, the House bill would require
the Department of Homeland Security
to provide a status report on illegal
crossings and develop a strategy to
thwart the vast majority of unauthor-
ized entries.
The House and Senate bills share
some of the same goals, including
calling for a dramatic increase in sur-
veillance of the border and ensuring
that 90 percent of those attempting to
cross illegally are either turned back
or arrested. But the House bill would
require far more analysis before spend-
ing billions for more boots on the
ground and additional technology.
For example, the House bill calls
on Homeland Security, as part of its
status report, to identify high-trafc
areas within three months of the bill
becoming law. The department would
have another 30 days to create metrics
to measure the state of border secu-
rity. Within nine months of the bills
approval, the department would have
to have a border security strategy up
and running. Only after those bench-
marks were met would Congress pro-
vide additional funding for expanding
the strategy across the entire border.
The bill also demands far more
accountability from the department,
including progress reports to Congress
and Government Accountability Ofce
oversight. Unlike the Senate bill, it
does not tie the promise of a path to
citizenship for millions of immigrants
who are illegally in the U.S. to border
security, which is outside their control.
Much of the credit for the bill
belongs to Reps. Michael McCaul,
R-Texas, the chairman of the commit-
tee, and Candice S. Miller, R-Mich., the
vice chair, both of whom worked across
the aisle and consulted with academics
and experts rather than give in to the
arbitrary demands of some GOP House
members who feel that nothing short
of a U.S. version of the Great Wall of
China will guarantee border security.
On Tuesday, the committee is sched-
uled to hold hearings to compare the
House and Senate approaches to bor-
der security. We hope that McCaul and
Miller continue to prove that some
House Republicans are still capable of
having a sane and credible discussion
on immigration reform.

Diversity Picnic
deserves recognition
I recently attended the Diversity
Picnic in Kirby Park. Each year my
friends and I look forward to this monu-
mental event. The food is so delicious,
and the set-up is handicapped accessible.
With every passing year, the planners,
the workers, and the contributors man-
age to outdo themselves as they give of
their time, money and energy.
I was just disappointed by how
little media coverage this great event
received. The picnic always has a huge
turnout, witg activities for every age
group and noalcohol.
With so many sad stories dominating
the news headlines, you would think this
wonderful event would get top consid-
eration.

In what passes for good news on
Capitol Hill, a bitterly divided Congress
nally took a step toward undoing the
dysfunctional marriage of convenience
between food stamps and farm subsi-
dies. House Republicans this month
pushed through a farm bill, minus nutri-
tion for the poor. It was the rst time
since 1973 that a farm bill had advanced
without food stamps a program the
Republicans say theyll fund in a sepa-
rate bill.
We take it as a positive sign. Farm
subsidies and food stamps should be
judged on their respective merits.
Both need reform. Both should be cut
back, farm subsidies more so than food
stamps. It wont happen if urban law-
makers feel compelled to support rural
giveaways in exchange for farm-state
votes to support feeding programs.
Most of this debate has focused on
food stamps. Despite the farm bill
moniker, the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program makes up 80 per-
cent of spending in the existing farm
bill thats about to expire. Conservatives
have recoiled at the programs expan-
sion over the past decade to 47 million
Americans. The conservatives want
deep cuts.
Democrats accused their Republican
counterparts of being cruel to the
needy. Even in a Washington environ-
ment of near-constant acrimony, the
debate turned especially mean. Liberals
suggested that reining in a fast-growing
federal food stamp program was tanta-
mount to starving Americas children.
Thats not true. In fact, the House
Republicans gambit may be the best
thing to happen for food stamps. The
assumption that food stamps need
farm-state votes to survive congressio-
nal scrutiny is based on past experience
rather than a clear view of the future:
Food stamps do a lot of good. Fraud
and abuse exist, but theyre limited. The
program has grown too far too fast as
a result of easier standards for qualify-
ing. Still, the argument for continuing
it is strong, and it can be funded at a
level that protects the most vulnerable
Americans while also taking essential
steps to reduce federal spending. There
is no reason to believe that Congress
will hurt those truly in need.
Farm subsidies, conversely, are a relic
of the past. They hark back to Soviet-
style central planning. They funnel
taxpayer money to a wealthy special-
interest that hasnt needed it in decades.
Most ag subsidies should be eliminated,
or at least drastically curtailed.
It cant help food stamps in the long
run to be joined with obsolete farm pro-
grams that make no economic sense.
The political calculus is changing as
more members of Congress understand
that point:
Congress isnt ready to do away with
farm programs yet. Were disappointed
to see the House approve its food-stamp-
free farm bill without scaling back the
subsidies to big agriculture. Whats
more, this Republican bill is loaded with
pork that ies in the face of the partys
free-market, small-government prin-
ciples. It includes, for instance, a con-
tinuation of a so-called counter-cyclical
program that pays farmers when crop
prices fall below certain levels.
Worst of all, it includes a costly expan-
sion of the misnamed crop insurance
program: Farmers can use it to guaran-
tee the revenue from their businesses,
essentially locking in prots at taxpayer
expense. The House bill would expand
that boondoggle even more than the
Senate has proposed in its version of the
next farm bill which, as in the past,
marries food stamps to farm subsidies.
The House and Senate bills are so
different that reconciling them wont be
easy. One (bad) option is a short-term
extension of existing law. We hope the
Senate will accept the Houses notion
of keeping food stamps out of the sub-
sidies debate. That would improve the
odds of Congress someday ending the
subsidy programs.

The Afordable Care Acts youth problem
Young Americans may soon experi-
ence sticker shock when shopping
for health insurance. A new survey of
insurers estimates that premiums will
almost triple for a hypothetical 27-year-
old man next year, once all the federal
health reform laws rules take effect.
That could be problematic for its
efforts to cover young people. More
than a quarter of the 67 million
Americans between the ages of 19 and
34 are uninsured. They may well stay
that way if insurance becomes unaf-
fordable.
That doesnt have to be the case.
Lawmakers can make health coverage
more affordable by relaxing restrictions
on what insurers can charge young
adults thus allowing them to offer
lower premiums.
The Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA) regu-
lates the health insurance market in
three main ways. First, all Americans
with a few exceptions must
secure health coverage.
Second, because everyone must
carry coverage, the law requires insur-
ers to sell policies to whomever wants
to buy them. They cant deny coverage
because of health status or history a
reform called guaranteed issue.
Third, in an attempt to control the
cost of coverage, the law prevents
insurers from charging older individu-
als more than three times what they
charge younger beneciaries a rule
called community rating..
The community rating rules were
created to ensure that insurance com-
panies dont exclude sick people or
those with pre-existing conditions
by only offering them policies with
sky-high premiums. They were also
designed to ensure that coverage for
older Americans not yet eligible for
Medicare would be affordable.
The problem is a matter of facts.
It costs six times as much to insure a
64-year-old as it does an 18-year-old.
While we might like to think that we
can cap a 64-year-olds costs at three
times the level of an 18-year-olds, the
math just doesnt work. In the end,
younger, healthier people will subsi-
dize insurance for those who are older
and sicker.
Even with federal subsidies, those
higher premiums will be unaffordable
for most young Americans, who are
more likely to have lower incomes.
According to a ve-city survey con-
ducted by the American Action Forum,
community rating will contribute to a
190-percent rate increase for younger,
healthier people living in Milwaukee.
Across all ve cities, the average pre-
mium hike for young people will reach
169 percent.
To make matters worse, community
rating-fueled premium hikes wont just
affect young people - by 2014, small
businesses with up to 50 workers will
face them, too. And by 2016, the hikes
will hit all companies with less than
100 workers.
This will represent a dramatic rat-
ing shift for small employers in the
42 states where rates are based on a
number of factors including broad age
differentials.
In 49 states, employers with between
50 and 100 employees dont have to
shop in the small-group market but
rather in a mid-market akin to the way
larger groups purchase coverage. That
grants them greater choice of health
plans and more rate exibility.
Lumping all these rms together
may seem like a good idea because
it will increase the size of the health
insurance pool. But it will drive premi-
ums up for everyone by moving more
employers into the the mandatory
modied community rating structure.
If premiums spiral upward, millions
of young people will choose not to
buy coverage whether on their own
or through their employers and
instead pay nes the law prescribes for
being uninsured. If there arent enough
young people paying into the insurance
pool to subsidize coverage for older
Americans, premiums will shoot up
even further.
This process can repeat itself again
and again, resulting in what actuaries
call a death spiral of higher and high-
er premiums and lower and lower
coverage rates.
For evidence, look to the eight states
that adopted community rating and
guaranteed issue rules in the 1990s.
According to a study from Milliman,
a consultancy, the insurance markets
in all eight experienced death spirals
to some degree. Two states ultimately
abandoned their reforms.
Three others, however, took a differ-
ent approach. They chose to relax their
community rating rules. And their
insurance markets have survived.
Federal lawmakers should learn
from these state experiments and relax
PPACAs community-rating require-
ments, too.
Lawmakers must do everything they
can to ensure that the Affordable Care
Act actually makes insurance more
affordable. Revising the community-
rating rules is an effective way to do
so.

tion of Health Underwriters.

Summer Savings
Are Coming Down The Line
Fred George decided to
stop by to take his last look at
the building where he worked
as a chef for 22 years.
George, now 81, started as
a dishwasher in 1949 in the
Sterling kitchen and rose to
become head chef before he
left in 1971. Through his eyes
and memory, he talked about
the Hotel Sterling he knew
and will never forget.
As George recounted his
days at the Sterling speak-
ing in the shadows of the
seven-story structure cars,
trucks and buses whisked by
with few drivers even turn-
ing their heads to get a final
glimpse of the condemned
landmark. There were no
protesters, no gawkers, no
flashes from cameras as
George talked in detail about
dignitaries and crowded din-
ing rooms and a smorgasbord
with 100 items.
The hotel stood tall on its
final day, as pigeons flew in
and out and graffiti stained
several windows. Rooftop
ledges where peregrine fal-
cons still perch in search of
prey and remnants of home-
less overnight stays remain.
The marquee where then-
candidate John F. Kennedy
rode past on his way to a
presidential victory in 1960
is gone, but the memories
of grand events over the
Sterlings 115 years remain.
Gaping portals where his-
torical artifacts have been
removed offered a look into
a deteriorated lobby where
elegance and class flourished
decades ago.
Right over there, in that
corner of the lobby, there was
a news stand where you could
by a newspaper or a magazine
and get a great cup of coffee,
George said. I started out
washing dishes and then one
day they asked me to make
sandwiches. I had to quit
school to help my family.
George, of Wilkes-Barre,
remembers the Luzerne
County Courthouse employ-
ees filing in for lunch. There
were 20 cooks working at
the Sterling back then. He
remembers shucking oysters
and clams as dignitaries and
salesmen roamed the lobby
and walked the decorative
stairs to their rooms, bypass-
ing the shiny brass elevators.
Well-equipped hotel
The Sterling had its own
chiropractor and physician
who took care of the employ-
ees aches and pains. There
was a butcher on site and a
bakery, laundry department,
barber shop and manicurist.
We had everything there,
George said. And the VIP
Coffee Shop and Treasure
Island Lounge were always
busy.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre
had 12 restaurants within
walking distance of the
Sterling, but George said
everybody came to the grand
hotel. Coal barons, gover-
nors, politicians, Hollywood
stars and societys finest all
were patrons. They enjoyed
the oriental rugs, the ornate
woodwork, the fine art, crys-
tal chandeliers, the attention
to detail, the professional/
mannerly staff and the great
food.
I remember one Mothers
Day when we served more
than 1,600 customers,
George said. Our waiters
and waitresses worked with
such grace and profession-
alism. We paid attention to
detail. When you walked into
the Sterling you felt like you
came home. Like you kicked
off your shoes and relaxed.
Storied visitors
Entertainer and come-
dian Danny Thomas spoke
there. Singer Jerry Vale per-
formed. Jazz musician Louis
Armstrong ordered room ser-
vice. George remembers it all
the General Sullivan Room,
the Admiral Stark Room, the
Adams Room. Fireplaces,
paintings, mirrors, tapestries,
chandeliers are all still there
in Georges mind. His memo-
ries will never be demolished.
I can still see it as it was,
he said. Its still there.
On a day, months ago, when
George joined protesters try-
ing to save the building, a
car pulled up with out-of-
state plates. A woman asked
George what was going on
and he told her they were
protesting the demolition of
the Sterling. The woman said
her mother had lived in the
Sterling years ago.
Her mother was in the car,
and George said that when
she learned the Sterling was
going to be razed, she started
to weep.
Tomorrow, we all will be
weeping, he said.

recalls when the VIP Coffee Shop and Treasure Island Lounge were always

HOTEL STERLING HIGHLIGHTS
When the Hotel Sterling opened for business at the intersection of
West Market and North River streets on Aug. 14, 1898, the rst guests
in the door experienced the biggest, most luxurious hotel Wilkes-Barre
had ever seen.
Named for businessman and investor Walter G. Sterling, the newhotel
was seven stories tall and had a spacious, columned lobby designed to
evoke comparisons with the great metropolitan hotels all over America.
Wilkes-Barres population was on a sharp rise, and by 1900 census
gures would register a staggering growth from37,000 in 1890 to
51,000.
Within the next decade or so, competitors arose the Hotel Hart and
the Redington (even taller than the Sterling), facing each other across
East Market Street near the rail stations.
The owners employed Oppenheims String Orchestra to entertain
dinner guests in its restaurant, known after 1911 as The PalmRoom.
Wrote Harrison Smith, Afamous NewYork chef prepared such
delicacies as high-avored and well-dressed oysters, mince pie or plum
pudding and wine-cured cheeses.
Staying at the Sterling was, for the time, pricey. The hotel advertised
200 bed chambers and parlors and 125 baths at $1.50 and $3 a day.
The building was a beehive of activity. Well into the 20th century,
the Sterlings public rooms were packed with meetings, conventions
and banquets, and at all times it tried to maintain an air of upscale
sophistication. The menu for a 1916 testimonial dinner for a Luzerne
County judge included blue point oysters, broiled St. Johns River
shad, roast milk-fed squab chicken, Roquefort cheese and betting a
gathering of important men coee and cigars.
The key player in the Hotel Sterling had come to be Homer Mallow,
and the hotel for a time was known as the Mallow-Sterling. In the 1920s,
plans were laid for a major expansion. The owners built a 14-story
addition along West Market Street.
In 1936, a nancially troubled Sterling went into receivership. One of
the trustees, construction magnate and former state Sen. AndrewJ.
Sordoni, formed a newcorporation and became the Sterlings owner.
Mallowremained in a lesser capacity.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the Sterling, though, was the
huge neon sign atop the hotel, installed in 1939. With 10-foot-high
letters, it spelled out Hotel Sterling and was visible all over Wyoming
Valley. Apenthouse on top of the tower provided Sordoni, who lived in
the Back Mountain, with a home downtown.
In the 1960s, the Sterling was renting out much of the 1898 building
to Kings College for dormitory space, and by the 1980s the tower had
become a low-cost residential hotel.
By the turn of the century, a hundred years after construction of the
original part of the Sterling, the structure was vacant.
Anonprot developer, CityVest, then took over the property with a
plan to redevelop the site. With a budget of $6 million in Luzerne County
money, it tore down the 14-story tower and the connector building as
well as other nearby buildings. But no developer for the 1898 building,
the original Sterling, emerged.

PRESS
CONFERENCE
Mayor TomLeighton will
hold a press conference at 10
a.m. marking the start of the
demolition of the Hotel Sterling
to mark the historic nature of the
landmark hotel.
The mayor will be joined by
other local, state, and federal
ocials on West Market Street
near the demolition site.
our cities and towns
depend on our local
merchants to keep our
economy moving and
create good jobs for our
citizens, said Barletta.
Local retailers have
been at a distinct disad-
vantage because online
stores often dont collect
sales tax. Ive heard many
times that people will
come into a shop to look
at items, particularly elec-
tronics, and then go home
and buy the same product
online to avoid the sales
tax.
Sides said the bill
includes a $1 million
threshold for companies
to have to earn before
they will be required to
collect the tax. The origi-
nal version had an even
lower threshold, but it
was raised, he said.
However, not all area
congressmen are in favor
of the bill as crafted.
While the bill has a
small-seller exception in
place, we have heard from
some small sellers that
the revenue requirements
are still too low, said
Rep. Matt Cartwright,
D-Moosic. While I, too,
want to level the playing
eld for businesses of all
sorts, my rst priority is
to ensure that small sell-
ers are not closing their
doors and laying off work-
ers.
Pennsylvania laws
State law requires
businesses with a physi-
cal presence in the
state to collect sales
tax, said Elizabeth
Brassell, a spokeswom-
an for the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue.
That means online
retailers such as Amazon.
com are required to do
so because they operate
distribution centers in
Pennsylvania.
But an online company
based in another state
that has $1 million or
more in annual sales and
does not have any retail
operations or warehouses
in Pennsylvania is not
required to do the same.
States are prohibited by
federal law from requir-
ing out-of-state com-
panies to collect taxes
because its a violation
of interstate commerce,
Brassell said.
Companies such
as Amazon.com and
Walmart are supportive
of the idea, said Sides,
but other e-retailers
without operations in
multiple states, such as
eBay, have been outspo-
ken against the proposal.
Closing loopholes
A study conducted by
economists Art Laffer
and Donna Arduin
released Wednesday by
the Pennsylvania Chapter
of the Alliance for Main
Street Fairness shows
that closing the online
sales tax loophole has
many benefits, includ-
ing the potential to
lower overall tax rates
and jump-start economic
growth.
Laffers study suggests
that passing e-fairness
legislation such as the
Marketplace Fairness
Act would create a tax
system with fewer loop-
holes, a larger base and
lower rates for all tax-
payers, which could lead
to an increase in gross
domestic product of
$563.2 billion $15.1
in Pennsylvania and
more than 1.5 million
jobs nationally 43,803
in Pennsylvania over
the next 10 years.
With analysis like this,
everyone can see the ben-
efits of passing e-fairness
legislation, said Sides.
It will help small busi-
nesses, like mine, com-
pete against online-only
competition in a fair way
and create jobs for thou-
sands of Pennsylvania
families.
Sides added that with-
in the next five years

It was something that
they saw that I guess I really
didnt, said Janczewski with
the 119th Civil Engineer
Squadron Fire Emergency
Services.
Incident in Afghanistan
Late in the afternoon
at Camp John Pratt last
October a re caused by
hot coals thrown into a
Dumpster ignited about 10
feet from two, 20,000-gallon
fuel bladders. Out of sight of
the blaze on the other side of
a protective blast wall, heli-
copters were refueling.
Janczewski, the base re
chief, led the team of six
reghters and prevented a
catastrophe. The reght-
ers contained the blaze
using foam and prevented
the tanks from igniting.
Janczewski made sure the
people and aircraft were out
of danger.
I was yelling at them to
get the birds out of the area,
he said.
Medical-transport helicop-
ters and aircraft used in spe-
cial operations refuel at the
base. It was imperative that
we didnt let the place burn
up, he said.
He credited the ability to
work under pressure to the
training he and the other
reghters undergo.
Hes been training since
a teenager when he volun-
teered with the Mt. Zion and
West Pittston re depart-
ments.
He has the benet of two
former re chiefs in the
family. His father, William
Janczewski, held the posi-
tion with the Mt. Zion volun-
teer re company in Exeter
Township. His uncle, John
Janczewski, was chief in
West Pittston.
His mother, Wendy Sartin,
lives in Jenkins Township.
His father lives in West
Pittston.
Assistant re chief
In Little Rock, Janczewski
serves as assistant chief and
responds to calls ranging
from house res and motor
vehicle crashes to hazardous
materials incidents, aircraft
and medical emergencies.
When not on the job, he
and his wife provide support
to other parents with chil-
dren born with congenital
heart defects. The couples
son, Ethan, has had open
heart surgery and essentially
has half a heart that func-
tions. The Janczewskis work
with Mended Little Hearts
of Little Rock, answering
questions and sharing their
experiences dealing with
their son.
Its just parents being
concerned for their chil-
dren, Janczewski said.
Hes glad to be part of a
support network, having
gone through what many
of them are going through.
My phones never off at all,
Janczewski said.

HANOVER TWP. - The winning rally
started with the rst of seven straight
singles and didnt stop until the nal two,
decisive runs scored on a play of pure
hustle.
But really, Greater Pittstons Region 5
American Legion baseball title was won
even before that.
We were sitting in the dugout, as a
team, Greater Pittston catcher Trent
Grove said. Im going to play track and
eld in college at Temple. My other friends
arent playing baseball. Weve been playing
together since we were 4, 5 years old. We
said, This is the last baseball were going
to play in our whole lives.
If that is the last at-bat in my life, I
knew I had to do it.
He did, and so did the rest of Greater
Pittston.
Groves bases-loaded, two-run sin-
gle ignited a six-run rally that shocked
Swoyersville and turned a four-run decit
into Greater Pittstons 7-5 victory in the
Region 5 American Legion baseball cham-
pionship game at the Hanover Area High
School baseball eld.
I just kept telling them, Dont give up
and something goods going to happen,
said Greater Pittston manager Jerry
Ranieli, whose teamwill head to the eight-
team Pennsylvania state playoffs this com-
ing Tuesday.
His gritty team proved him right.
With two on and two out in a tie game,
ErikWalkowiakcappedthedramaticcome-
back by beating out a bouncer far behind
rst base by out-running Swoyersvilles
inelders to the bag for an ineld hit. Both
Justin Martinelli and Chuck Bressler - run-
ning hard all the way from second base
- scored the games nal two runs on the
play, completing Greater Pittstons gutsy
comeback against its powerful Wyoming
Valley league champion and rival.

NEW YORK Alex
Rodriguez certainly leads
the New York Yankees in
headlines this season even
though he hasnt played a
single major league game.
Injuries have kept him
away from the team since
last years playoffs, and
now Rodriguez faces dis-
cipline from Major League
Baseball in its drug inves-
tigation, possibly up to a
lifetime ban.
The likelihood of a
severe punishment for
Rodriguez is very high,
former Commissioner Fay
Vincent said Wednesday.
The three-time AL MVP
who turns 38 Saturday is
among more than a dozen
players MLB has targeted
following allegations they
were linked to a Florida
clinic accused of distribut-
ing performance-enhanc-

sion ear-
lier this week, attention
has turned to Rodriguez,
who four years ago admit-
ted using PEDs while
with Texas from 2001-03.
He has repeatedly denied
using them since, and
MLB has never said he
failed a test.
Lawyers for MLB and
the players association
were set to resume discus-
sions about the Biogenesis
investigation today.
Though it was unclear who
might be penalized next,
all eyes were on A-Rod.
The Yankees expect
Rodriguez to be accused
of using PEDs over mul-
tiple seasons, of recruit-
ing other athletes for the
clinic, of attempting to
obstruct MLBs investi-
gation, and of not being
truthful with MLB in the
past when he discussed
his relationship with Dr.
Anthony Galea, who plead-
ed guilty two years ago to
a federal charge of bring-
ing unapproved drugs into
the United States from
Canada.
The mess seems very
large indeed, said John

historian. If a lifetime sus-

MOOSIC While the
RailRiders offense has
struggled over their pre-
vious ve games entering
Wednesdays matinee, the
pitching has been superb.
The staff had allowed
just 17 runs in that apan
while the offense had put
up just ve runs. Starter
Brett Marshall didnt
need much support on
the afternoon as he was
excellent for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre going eight
innings, allowing just one
run on ve hits, retiring
10 of the last 11 batters
and helping SWB break
a ve-game losing streak
with a 4-1 win over
Toledo at PNC Field.
Marshall said he didnt
think he had his best
stuff on the afternoon,
but he didnt have to as
Mud Hens batters were
kept off-balance. When
Marshall wasnt inducing
one of the 12 groundball
outs he had on the after-
noon, he got a strikeout
when he needed one.
I felt like I was kind
of lucky. I felt like I
wasnt commanding
my fastball well, and
my change-up I didnt
throw very well today,
said Marshall, whose
eight innings tied for
the most by a RailRider
pitcher this season. He
has done it both times.
For most of the last ve
weeks, since Randy Ruiz
joined the RailRiders,
the offensive tempo has
performed much like
the slugger. So when the
35-year-old struggled
over the previous 14 days
entering Wednesday with
just one home run and a
.206 batting average in
that span, the RailRiders
went just 3-8 in that
period averaging just two

One year later: Nittany Lions are ready to move on
Unlike last year, NCAA
sanctions not a prime
topic for OBrien at
Big Ten media event
DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
CHICAGO What Bill
OBrien remembers is that
glare.
Coming out to Chicago for Big
Ten media days last July wasnt
particularly pleasant for the
Penn State coach or the players
who came with him. The NCAA
had just hammered the Nittany
Lions with sanctions and line-
backer Michael Mauti still had
a distinctive scowl carved onto
his face when he made the trip
to the Windy City.
You remember him at
this last year? OBrien said
Wednesday. Whoo. Would you
want to mess with him?
One year and one day
removed from NCAA president
Mark Emmerts fateful press
conference, OBrien and the
Lions were no longer being
asked about impending doom.
Not that things are exactly
back to normal for Penn State as
the one-year anniversary of the
sanctions passes by. But com-
pared to last summer
Refreshing. OBrien said.
Very refreshing.
Joined along by a trio of
seniors guard John Urschel,
linebacker Glenn Carson and
safety Malcolm Willis
OBrien spent much of the rst
day of the media event discuss-
ing the quarterback battle (it
will be decided by mid-August),
the health of tailback Zach
Zwinak (hell be ready for the
season opener) and depth con-
cerns on defense (safeties may
get some work with the line-
backers).
A year ago at this time, many
of those same players werent
sure if they were going to stay
or take advantage of the NCAAs
declaration that Penn State play-
ers could transfer without pen-
alty because of the sanctions.
As it so happens, that transfer
period is still in effect and will
expire on Aug. 1.
That would seem to be an
important checkpoint to reach
for the program. But the play-
ers, for their part, have moved
past it.
Thats not a relevant date for
us, Urschel said. Thats not
an issue weve had. Our team
is very much together and very
much working toward one goal
winning games this fall.
OBrien has said since the
spring that he didnt anticipate
losing any more players to other
schools.
In 2013, quarterback Steven
Bench has been the only signi-
cant player to transfer, and that
was because he was edged out
by Tyler Ferguson during the

TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
Paul Thompson is thinking
about himself more than his
goal this offsea-
son.
Like any pro
hockey player,
Th o mp s o n s
ultimate goal
is to make it to
the NHL.
But thats not
his focus as he
spends the summer working
out and preparing for training
camp in September.
The NHL is the goal, but its
not something I worry about,
Thompson said. The goal that
Im concentrating on is making
a good impression when camp
starts and see what happens
from there. If I worry too much
about the other stuff, it takes
away from that focus.
This summer Thompson
doesnt have much other stuff
to worry about as the third-year
winger signed a two-way NHL
contract with Pittsburgh ear-
lier this month. For Thompson,
signing on for another year
with the only organization he
has known since coming out
of college in 2011 is a chance
to continue his development in
the Penguins system.
Last year his second as
a pro Thompson notched
a career-best 20 goals in 58
games. He also added a physi-
cal element to his game with 84
penalty minutes.
Thompson said he hopes to
continue to add other elements
to aid his goal of reaching the
NHL.
Coming out of college I
had more of a one-dimension-
al game, offense, he said. I
knew I needed to become a
better overall player. Thats the
only way Im going to become a
better offensive player.
Unlike last season when the
lockout wiped out NHL train-
ing camp, Thompson is looking
forward to Pittsburghs camp in
September as he eyes a spot on
one of the forward lines.
And just as important,
Thompson will have an oppor-
tunity to see how he stacks up
against NHL players.
Its great for a guy like
me. You can measure yourself
against NHL-caliber guys, he
said. Last year was unfortu-
nate because I didnt get that
chance.
With the departures of
Trevor Smith, Riley Holzapfel
and Chad Kolarik, along with
Brian Gibbons remaining
unsigned, if Thompson returns
to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to
open the season he will be the
highest-scorer left from last
years roster.
The high rate of turnover
isnt a surprise to Thompson
and hes ready to contribute
more offense if needed.
The rst year I was here we
lost a good amount of guys as
well. In the AHL, every year its
like a new team, which is excit-
ing, he said. But at the same
time we had a good team last
year and its sad to see those
guys go.

Back where she belongs
Jendrezjewski wins two state medals
despite injury.
JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
With caution.
Thats how the Hanover Area track
and eld coaching staff guided Olivia
Jendrezjewski to two state medals.
Her back aching with every painstak-
ing triple jump and every high jump
landing, Jendrezjewski went beyond
expectations for an athlete that missed
her junior season. She won district gold
in the high jump and triple jump, placed
eighth in the triple jump, and earned a
silver medal at the PIAA Class 2A State
Championship.
Those efforts earned Jendrezjewski
The Times Leaders girls track Most
Valuable Player award.
Shes probably the best jumper weve
ever had at Hanover Area, Hawkeyes
coach Al Weston said. Shes the type of
athlete you never forget. What she did
this year was amazing.
An athlete who often participated in
dance, gymnastics, and track and eld
all in the same day, Jendrezjewski frac-
tured her back in gymnastics during her
sophomore year. The pain was too much
to bear during her junior season, forcing
her to sit out and wear a back brace for
three months. The pain still existed as a
senior but she pulled through it to one
of the more memorable postseason runs
in school history.
It progressively got worse, she said.
And then last year I couldnt jump, it
knocked the wind out of me and every-
thing. This year, it still hurt me but I did
my best.
Credit the Hanover Area coaching
staff Weston and eld coach Carl
Daubert for making all the right
moves in practice to get her ready for
Shippensburg.
Even this year, with her back being
the way it was, we modied a lot of
the workouts just to protect the back,
Daubert said. We didnt do a lot of
jumping and actual landings. We stayed
out of the sand. We didnt want to bang
that back up.
Jendrezjewski scathed by with just
the bare minimum number of jumps. In
the high jump, she won the district by
2 inches with a 5-foot, 4-inch jump. In
the triple jump, she jumped 37 feet, 5
inches on her rst ofcial leap. With
a state qualifying standard (and even-
tually a district title) around her belt,
Jendrezjewski didnt need any more
tries.
I essentially told her during the year,
if you take one more jump before states,
itll be districts, Daubert said. Shed
already jumped her qualifying jump to
get to districts. Thats what she did. She
went to districts, took one jump. It was
a break. So she had to come back, she
took a second jump, it was a 37 and we
said okay were good.
You want to keep them healthy for
Shippensburg, Weston added. Thats
the big dance there. It was a smart move
by coach Daubert to jump her once
before the state meet.
They ran into the same quandry at
PIAAs. Jendrezjewski used four of her
six jumps. Through four, she owned a
35-foot, 10-inch jump. She didnt exer-
cise her nal two jumps and nished in
eighth place.
We were wrestling with do we let
her keep trying to jump, Daubert said.
Essentially its her call. I told her its
not worth injuring yourself to the point
where youre in a back brace for another
three months.
Jendrezjewskis signature moment
came in her second-place high jump at
states. Her and Lakeviews Courtney
King were the last two standing after
the 5-4 mark. Both cleared the 5-5 mark.
Jendrezewski ew over the 5-6 on her
rst try. With the state title in the bal-
ance, King followed suit. Both jumpers
hit the bar at 5-7, and King won the tie-
breaker.
I didnt really see much of a dif-
ference in winning states and n-
ishing second, Jendrezjewski
admitted. This is just as good.

Honesdales Renee Robbins 1985 run. Rome
added another state medal to her collection
with a fourth place fnish in the 3200 at
10:36.13.
Olivia Gregorio
Holy Redeemer
Sophomore - Mid-Distance
The youngest member of the Royals 3200 relay
contributed to their district championship and
state silver medal. Holy Redeemer crossed
the PIAAfnish line at 9:32.04, dropping 14.92
seconds of their preliminary time, and 2.31
seconds short of state champion Villa Maria
Academy. Gregorio aided the Royals in their
quest of a third straight district championship.
Individually, Gregorio shaved 4 seconds of her
800 run for a second place medal at districts.
Quieterriua Gross
Meyers
Junior - Hurdles
A 50.6-second run in the
100 hurdles left Gross with
a sixth-place medal at Class
2A states. Gross sparkled in
the long jump, leaping just
over 17 feet for the district
championship. She took 15th
at states, coming up a full
foot short of her seed mark.
The Mohawk junior earned a
pair of silver district medals
in the 100 hurdles and 400
relay.

Ms manager
Wedge sufers
mild stroke
Eric Wedge is out of
hospital and expected
to make a full recovery
The Associated Press
SEATTLE Mariners
manager Eric Wedge sus-
tained what the club called a
very mild stroke, but he was
released from the hospital on
Wednesday and is expected to
make a full recovery.
The 45-year-old Wedge was
hospitalized Monday when he
complained about light-head-
edness during batting practice.
He missed the entire three-
game series against Cleveland,
but after a battery of tests was
sent home from the hospital
Wednesday afternoon, the
Mariners said in a statement.
We are happy to announce
that Eric Wedge has been
released from the hospital, the
statement said. He is home
with his family resting and feel-
ing well.
After much testing the
doctors believe he suffered a
very mild stroke. The doctors
expect that he will have a full
and complete recovery.
Wedge, the Mariners manag-
er since 2011, wont be in uni-
form for the Mariners upcom-
ing four-game series against
Minnesota and he wont go on
the next road trip to Boston
and Baltimore.
What he needs to do is
stay home for a short period
of time. We expect him to be
back sooner than later, gen-
eral manager Jack Zduriencik
said. Hes excited. He sounds
normal. I talked to him and it
sounds like everything is ne
and he is ready to roll.
We are going to err on the
side of caution, and I think the
common sense thing is to have
Eric rest. It makes sense that
he doesnt take this trip to the
East Coast.
Zduriencik said Wedge will
be evaluated further the next
10 days.
Bench coach Robby
Thompson will continue to
ll in for Wedge, who was the
Indians manager from 2003-
09.
Im sure there is a lot of
concern out there, Thompson
said. Eric is a very caring man
and loves every one of those
guys in that clubhouse. I think
they have that in return for
him.
Zduriencik and Thompson
addressed the team and pro-
vided an update on Wedge
after the Mariners 10-1 loss to
Cleveland on Wednesday.
Any situation like this
that arises, there is concern,
Thompson said. We put our
hearts, thoughts and prayers
into him and Kate and their
extended families.
Fortunately, it was a mild
stroke but from here they know
what to work with and what to
do with him to work his way
back.
Seattle shortstop Brendan
Ryan stressed that Wedge
should take his time and not
try to rush back to the dugout.
Come back in his own
time, Ryan said. We will be
thinking of him and he will be
with us, so the sooner he gets
back the better.
We just wish him the best,
speedy recovery.
Wedge has been a staunch
supporter of many of the
Mariners younger players,
and now they are offering their
support to him.
Its not just me. Its a lot of
guys in here, rst baseman
Justin Smoak said. A lot of
guys, and hes stuck with us a
long time now. Hes going to
get through this, and we look
forward to have him back.
The loss Wednesday was
Seattles rst since July 12 and
it ended the Mariners season-
high, eight-game winning
streak.
Clevelands Scott Kazmir
allowed just one hit in eight
innings, Michael Bourn hit his
rst career grand slam, and the
Indians salvaged the nal game
of the three-game series.
The only hit Kazmir (6-4)
gave up was a clean leadoff
single to center by Smoak in
the fth. Kazmir struck out
seven, walked two and allowed
an unearned run.
He was a different pitcher
than in Cleveland, Thompson
said of Kazmir.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Francisco Liriano delivers a pitch against
the Washington nationals during the first inning of a game at nationals Park
on Wednesday in Washington.
Liriano, Alvarez lead
Bucs past Nationals
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Pirates
left-hander Francisco Liriano
did not allow a hit until the
sixth inning against a strug-
gling and depleted Nationals
lineup, and Pedro Alvarez
homered off an otherwise-
dominant Stephen Strasburg,
leading Pittsburgh past
Washington 4-2 Wednesday
night.
The Nationals fell to 0-6
since the All-Star break
scoring a grand total of 13
runs in that span and have
lost 11 of their last 13 games.
Already the owner of one
previous no-hitter, Liriano
(10-4) walked the rst batter
he faced, then retired 11 in
a row before another walk.
Five more outs followed,
before rookie Anthony Rendon
reached on what was ruled an
ineld single with two away in
the sixth.
Braves 8, Mets 2
NEW YORK Tim Hudson
took a shutout into the eighth
inning before getting spiked
at rst base and carted off
the eld during the Atlanta
Braves victory over the New
York Mets.
Evan Gattis, Dan Uggla
and Andrelton Simmons all
homered off an ineffective
Jeremy Hefner (4-8) to help
the Braves bats break loose
after scoring only four runs
in their previous three games.
But the nasty-looking injury
to Hudson is a huge concern,
leaving the NL East leaders
without a veteran winner who
was on a roll.
Hudson (8-7) was work-
ing on a four-hitter when
Eric Young Jr. hit a grounder
that was knocked down by
Braves rst baseman Freddie
Freeman. Hudson took
Freemans toss at the bag just
before Young arrived, and the
speedy outelder stepped on
the back of Hudsons lower
right leg, near his Achilles,
driving the pitchers right
ankle awkwardly into the
ground.

Price goes the distance
in Rays win over Sox
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas
Matt Garza pitched into the
eighth inning of his Rangers
debut, the only run he allowed
unearned after his throwing
error, and Texas beat the New
York Yankees Wednesday.
Garza (1-0) was 6-1 in
his 11 starts this season for
the Chicago Cubs before
being traded Monday to the
Rangers, who had long cov-
eted the right-hander. He was
5-0 with a 1.24 ERA his last
six starts for Chicago, winning
the last ve.
After giving up consecutive
singles to start his rst game
in a Rangers jersey, Garza
retired 15 of the next 16 bat-
ters before his throwing error
on Brett Gardners comeback-
er leading off the sixth.
Rays 5, Red Sox 1
BOSTON David Price
pitched a ve-hitter for his
third complete game of the
season, Wil Myers had a two-
run single, and the surging
Tampa Bay Rays won for the
19th time in 22 games by beat-
ing the Boston Red Sox.
James Loney had two hits
and drove in a run for the
Rays. Tampa Bay moved
within a half-game of the AL
East-leading Red Sox.
Athletics 4, Astros 3
HOUSTON Coco Crisp
hit a two-run homer in
Oaklands three-run seventh
inning to help the Athletics
to a win over the Houston
Astros.
The As trailed by two before
an RBI double by Eric Sogard
with one out cut the lead to
3-2 and chased starter Bud
Norris. Crisp launched his
home run off Travis Blackley
(1-1) to put Oakland on top.
Angels 1, Twins 0
ANAHEIM, Calif. Jered
Weaver outpitched Mike
Pelfrey with eight innings of
two-hit ball and Albert Pujols
drove in the only run, leading
the Los Angeles Angels to a
victory over the Minnesota
Twins.
Weaver (5-5) struck out nine
and walked one in his rst
home start against the Twins
since his no-hitter on May 2,
2012. The three-time All-Star
retired 19 consecutive batters
during one stretch just
four days after teammate C.J.
Wilson set down 18 in a row
against Oakland.
Indians 10, Mariners 1
SEATTLE Scott Kazmir
allowed just one hit over his
eight innings, Michael Bourn
hit his rst career grand slam
and the Cleveland Indians
routed the Seattle Mariners.
The only hit Kazmir (6-4)
gave up was a clean leadoff
single to center by Justin
Smoak in the fth. Kazmir
struck out seven, walked two
and allowed an unearned run.
He threw 103 pitches and was
relieved by Vinnie Pestano in
the ninth. Pestano allowed a
hit.
Dodgers 8, Blue Jays 3

hit a two-run homer to high-
light Los Angeles ve-run
10th inning as the Dodgers

Hosmer hit two home runs
and Alcides Escobar drove in
the winning run in the ninth
to lift the Kansas City Royals
to a victory over the Baltimore
Orioles.

when Escobar doubled off the

out in the ninth.

lesser but still very sub-
stantial, thats a whole
bucket of tar dumped on
his legacy.
With 647 home runs,
fth on the career list and
115 shy of matching Barry
Bonds career record,
Rodriguez is among the
most prodigious sluggers
in baseball history. And his
record contracts have put
him in the spotlight, rst a
$252 million, 10-year deal
with Texas that started in
2001 and later a $275 mil-
lion, 10-year agreement
with the Yankees that
began in 2008.
But his body has been
breaking down and hes
been on the disabled list
six times in six years.
Right hip surgery in March
2009 was followed by left
hip surgery this January,
three months after the
Yankees repeatedly pinch
hit for A-Rod and benched
him during the playoffs.
Just when it appeared
he was ready to rejoin the
Yankees this week, the
team said he strained his
left quadriceps.
Rodriguez has acknowl-
edged taking PEDs before
baseball started penaliz-
ing their use. In 2009, he
attributed his decision to
being young and stupid
and agreed to work for the
Taylor Hooton Foundation
to combat steroids.
If it turns out he was
violating drug rules all
along, his reputation may
be beyond repair.
Theres no question
its been diminished, and
more than many of his
contemporaries that also
were involved, because
in his case the percep-
tion now is that the use
has been ongoing, NBC
and MLB Network broad-
caster Bob Costas said.
Now that could change if
he somehow successfully
defends himself, but if that
doesnt happen, then the
perception would be that
it was not conned to a
certain period of time, so
it would be impossible to
parse how much of his per-
formance was unaided and
how much was aided. The
shame of all of it is that he
clearly would have been
an all-time great player
without ever using perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs.
Fox broadcaster and for-
mer major league catch-
er Tim Carver said he
regards Rodriguez unfor-
tunately, the way I view
Ryan Braun, and thats not
good. And I viewed A-Rod
as a really good guy.
Tarnished is understated
in these times.
While positive tests
lead to a set series of pun-
ishments 50 games for
a rst offense, 100 games
for a second and a lifetime
ban for a third MLB
is not bound by that for
players in the Biogenesis
probe because the xed
penalties are only for
failed urine and blood
tests.
In theory, they could be
suspended for ve games
or 500 games, union head
Michael Weiner said.
Braun negotiated the
length of his penalty rath-
er than contest it before
an arbitrator. If Rodriguez
were to le a grievance,
a suspension probably
would be pushed back
until after a decision and
would be delayed until
next year.
Vincent learned in the
Steve Howe case that
lifetime bans are difcult
to enforce. He suspended
the pitcher for life in June
1992 for Howes seventh
incident related to drugs
or alcohol, but Howe was
reinstated that November
by arbitrator George
Nicolau.
Despite that,
Vincent feels current
Commissioner Bud Selig
should not be reticent
about pursuing a stiff pen-
alty against Rodriguez.
I think he ought to
come down very hard. I
dont think he has much
to lose, and everything to
gain, Vincent said.
Rodriguez has been a
non-factor in the Yankees
season, and much of his
$28 million salary this
year is being covered by
insurance. He is owed an
additional $86 million in
salary over the next four
seasons.
Costas sees a rules
change regarding the
salary in long-term con-
tracts as the most effec-
tive deterrent to drug use.
He says management and
players should reopen the
labor contract and add a
new provision.
If you are found to
have used PEDs and you
exhaust your appeals
and youre in the midst of
a long-term contract, the
team has the right at its
discretion to void the con-
tract, he said. Thats an
enormous disincentive.

Mannino went 10-7-0
in 20 games with the
Manchester Monarchs last
season, while recording a
2.47 goals against average
anda .919 save percentage.
An undrafted free-agent
out of the University of
Denver, Mannino began
his career with the New
York Islanders organiza-
tion in 2008-09, going
17-12-2 over 34 games
for the Bridgeport Sound
Tigers with a 2.94 goals
against average and .900

his NHL debut with the
Islanders against the
Boston Bruins on Nov. 28,
2008.
Mannino has played
a total of 159 AHL con-
tests between Bridgeport,
Chicago, St. Johns,
Portland and Manchester
and established a career
record of 81-52-8 with four

His best season came in
2009-10 with the Chicago

runs a game.
The designated hitter/rst
baseman broke out of his slump
early in the game clubbing a 1-0
pitch from Mud Hens starter
Jon Link just over the left eld
fence and into the bullpen for
a three-run home run giving
Marshall and the RailRiders a
4-0 lead in the bottom of the
rst.
Four of the rst ve batters
of the game for SWB reached
base. The rst run scored when
Dan Johnson singled in Adonis
Garcia.
It feels good. Weve been
struggling scoring runs maybe
the last week and fortunately we
did things right the rst inning
and we battled, Ruiz said. I
know we all struggle a little bit,
but hopefully we can bounce
back. Today was a good win.
Start today and take it onto the
road trip (which starts Friday).
Marshall ran into a tough-luck
inning in the top of the fth.
There wasnt a hard hit ball in
the frame by Toledo, but the
MudHens scratched out a run
on three bloop singles. The last
one, by Avisail Garcia, the top-
ranked prospect according to
Baseball America, trimmed the
SWB lead to 4-1. But Marshall
got former SWB Yankee Kevin
Russo to bounce into a double-
play to end the inning. After
that, the 23-year-old faced the
minimum number of batters
until he came out after the
eighth.
It makes you a little frus-
trated, but you know what its
a game, Marshall said about
the fth inning. Its the game
of baseball. That can happen 10
times in a row and you cant do
anything about it. I was able to
get a good groundball and get
out of it.

scoreless ninth.
Riding the Rails: New Yorks
disabled list saw action once
again on Wednesday with third
baseman Luis Cruz becom-
ing the latest casualty. That
prompted RailRiders inelder
David Adams to get summoned
to the Yankees and inelder Jose
Pirela to join the RailRiders
from Double-A Trenton. The
23-year-old from Venezuela bat-
ted .257 with six home runs, 41
RBI and 14 stolen bases with the
Thunder.
Digging the longball: When
Randy Ruiz hit home run No.
12 in the bottom of the rst, it
was the 100
th
this season by the
RailRiders. Prior to Wednesdays
afternoon game, the only team
in the International League with
more homers was Buffalo with
103. The numbers are more
impressive because SWB hit just
36 longballs over the rst two
months of the season.
Attendance: 5,751
Time of Game: 2:05 (the
RailRiders quickest nine-inning

spring.
For a long time Ive felt
very condent of our play-
ers commitment to us and
our commitment to our
players, OBrien said. I
think our players theres
a lot of respect between the
coaches and the players.
Were not their friends, but
theres just a lot of respect.
So I dont really think about
that that much.
I understand the mile-
stone because of that
(Aug. 1) date. But I havent
thought of that transfer deal
really since the season start-
ed last year. I felt like those
were the guys that were
committed to us.
Though the school has
been tight-lipped on the
topic, OBrien recently met
with Penn States board of
trustees to start discuss-
ing a plan to work with the
NCAA to see about reduc-
ing the sanctions in some
fashion.
OBrien said last week
on a conference call with
reporters that he hoped the
NCAA might meet us half-
way at some point in the
future.
In the meantime, howev-
er, Penn State must prepare
as though the sanctions
will remain in effect with
three more seasons left on a
postseason ban, three more
recruiting classes capped at
15 scholarships and an over-
all limit of 65 scholarship
players that will run from
the 2014-17 seasons.
What the NCAA does is
up to them, Penn State ath-
letic director Dave Joyner
said Wednesday. What we
have to do no matter what
is plan on not having any-
thing happen. Because that
distracts you from what our
real goal is, and our real goal
is to be the best we can be
within the structure that
weve been given.
Our job is not to worry
about what outwardly may
or may not occur. Our job
is to pay attention to what
weve been given and to
go after it. Would you
like things to change? Sure
everybody would like them
to change, but Im not mak-
ing any plans on that hap-
pening. Im not going to
wake up every morning
thinking about how we do
that.
Everything that hap-
pens is in the hands of the
NCAA.
In an interview Tuesday
with ESPN, Emmert largely
dodged a question about
revisiting Penn States case,
saying that it would be up
to the entire NCAA execu-
tive committee, and not
just him. But he also did not
immediately shoot down
the idea.
Regardless, Penn States
perseverance in the rst
year under the sanctions
has given the school and the
program a blueprint with
how to proceed.
If the 2012 team taught
us anything, it taught us,
including me, about how to
handle things that arent in
your control, OBrien said.
You dont have any control
over certain things in your
life. But how do you handle
that? How do you pick your-
self up and keep moving for-
ward?
Regardless of the record
or whatever, thats what that
team and those group of
leaders taught us. But weve
got to continue to do it.
We cant just say, OK, that
was great. Now what do we
do? Everyday weve got to
lay another brick on top of
the other one and continue
to do things the right way,
which hopefully we will
do.

We hustle, Walkowiak
said. Were not a team
that slows down running
to rst base because we
know were going to be
out. What I saw on that
ball was, This might be
deep enough that I could
beat him to the bag.
Essentially, that typi-
ed Greater Pittstons
pact of refusing to be
beaten.
Its a mindset that
showed up during
Tuesday mornings
tournament elimination
game, when Greater
Pittston went 11 innings
to defeat Jersey Shore,
9-7 for the right to play
Swoyersville for the
regional title in the after-
noon. Greater Pittston
scored three runs in
the top of the 12th in
that game on two bases-
loaded grounders and
Groves suicide squeeze
bunt single.
Thats how badly we
wanted it, Walkowiak
said, and howmuch this
really means to us.
It meant Greater
Pittston had to dig
even deeper when
Swoyersville built a
5-1 lead with just two
innings left in the cham-
pionship game.
We werent giv-
ing up, Grove said.
Everyone was together
with whatever it takes,
whether it was with hits,
bunts, diving into bases.
Whatever we could
do, we were going to do
that.
The unbreakable
resolve nally did in
Swoyersville.
Trailing by four runs
with six outs left to
Greater Pittston sea-
son, Jordan Zezza,
Jake Granteed and Joe
Gavenonis began the
eighth inning with sin-
gles. Grove then ground-
ed a two-run single past
third base to pull Greater
Pittston within 5-3, then
Dylan Maloney beat
out a bunt single and
Martinelli ried a run-
scoring single to right
eld.
On the verge of tying
the game, Greater
Pittston got a little too
aggressive trying to
bunt the tying run home
with the bags jammed
again, as Grove was
tagged out on a missed
suicide squeeze play.
But Bressler regrouped
by grounding a single
into left eld, scoring
Maloney with the game-
tying run.
An out later,
Walkowiak produced the
winning runs with a hit
that didnt even leave the
ineld.
We play small ball
here, Ranieli said. We
dont have the big power
guys in the middle of
our lineup. The way we
score runs, we bunt, we
squeeze, we hit-and-run.
Its 100 percent National
League baseball with
us.
Its about something
else, too.
Team condence
really picked us up,
Walkowiak said. Weve
won a state champion-
ship in teeners, almost
won district in high
school (with Wyoming
Areas District 2 semi-
nalist team last season).
We have trust in each
other and we have con-
dence.
Greater Pittston
needed every ounce of
it against a Swoyersville
team that won its rst
23 games this season,
already defeated Greater
Pittston three times dur-
ing that run, and seemed
headed to another win
against its league nem-
esis with a four-run
lead entering the eighth
inning.
Mike Leonard started
Swoyersvilles surge
when the began the bot-
tom of the rst with a
double, then scored on
Ryan Hobans sacrice
y.
After Greater Pittston
tied the game when
Grove raced home on
Martinellis squeeze bunt
in the top of the fourth,
Swoyersville got the run
back on Matt Zielens
RBI ineld single in the
bottom of the frame.
Then Swoyersville
started pulling away.
Nick Hogan tripled
home Jeremy Sabecky
in the fth inning, then
scoredonadeepsacrice
y by Joe Pachulis. And
Sabecky raced across
the plate on Leonards
second double of the
day, giving Swoyersville
a seemingly-comfortable
5-1 lead in the bottom of
the seventh.

One Breathtaking Course
Lions quarterback battle may not last long
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
CHICAGO His top quar-
terback from the spring remains
three time zones away from
campus. His other candidate for
the starting job isnt allowed to
talk football with him until next
month. Neither has played a
down of major college football.
Through it all, Bill OBrien
sees an opportunity.
Whether its Tyler Ferguson
or Christian Hackenberg who
starts under center against
Syracuse in ve weeks, the Penn
State coach is going to enjoy the
time he has to work with them.
One thing thats really excit-
ing about working with young
quarterbacks is that you get
a chance to really mold that
quarterback, OBrien said
Wednesday at the rst session
of Big Ten media days. You
get a chance to really teach that
quarterback. And (quarterbacks
coach) Charlie Fisher and I are
going to do that and work hard
at teaching our quarterbacks
how to play in our offense, man-
aging a game and play smart,
tough Penn State football. We
are excited about that.
We are going to have to
make a decision at some point
during training camp to allow
the starter to get enough reps to
be ready for the Syracuse game.
It sure is exciting for us, a chal-
lenge for us and we are looking
forward to it.
OBrienreiteratedWednesday
that he will split reps between
Ferguson and Hackenberg for
the rst two weeks of training
camp, with the rst practice
scheduled for Aug. 5.
He will then make a decision
on a starter at the midway point
of camp.
I think in order to give that
guy whoever that guy will
be, Tyler or Christian in
order to give him enough time
to prepare for an excellent
Syracuse team that throws a lot
at you defensively, you have to
give them a couple of weeks to
get ready for the rst game at
the very least, OBrien said.
Especially a young quarter-
back.
Probably halfway through,
well have enough evaluation
of our practice lm and all the
different things that go into
being the starting quarterback
at Penn State, not only on the
practice eld but in the meeting
room, and well make a good
decision. Well do whats best
for the football team.
Hackenberg, a ve-star
recruit regarded by some ser-
vices as the top pocket passer
in the country for the last class,
arrived in State College in June.
OBrien and the coaching staff
cant begin working with him,
however, until camp opens.
After emerging as the top can-
didate in the spring, Ferguson
returned home to California
this month for personal reasons.
Fergusons mother is undergo-
ing treatment for breast cancer.
Hell be back, OBrien said.
Summers voluntary, right?
The last time I read the NCAA
rulebook, summers voluntary.
Hes not there. Hes at home.
Hes got some personal things
that hes dealing with at home.
To me, hell come in, hell be
here for training camp. What
time, what day, all those things,
I mean, I dont know. I am sure
hell be in the rst teammeeting
and hell be ready to compete
with Christian for that job.
A few new linebackers?
As the Nittany Lions roster
continues to shrink as a result
of the NCAA sanctions, the
coaches have admitted they
may have to get creative with
the depth chart.
Already things are looking
thin at linebacker, where the
Lions have only two players
with signicant experience in
Glenn Carson and Mike Hull.
One option could be to line
up safeties Adrian Amos and
Stephen Obeng-Agyapong in
the box from time to time.
Weve got to look at all the
different players we have on
defense as it relates to the line-
backer position, OBrien said.
What can a guy like Adrian
Amos do? Can he play safety?
Can he play corner? Can he play
linebacker? Stephen Obeng, can
he come down and play some
linebacker for us?
A bit later in the day, OBrien
said it wasnt something that
was set in stone, but that the
Lions are in a position where
they have to consider all
options.
Amos in particular drew
heaps of praise from coaches
and teammates a year ago as
one of the strongest players on
the team pound-for-pound. Had
the Lions needed him to step in
at linebacker in 2012, he prob-
ably could have pulled it off
despite playing exclusively in
the secondary.
I think really from the end of
the season until now, weve talk-
ed about a lot of different sce-
narios, OBrien said of Amos.
Hell be a safety for us but can
he do some things down in the
box, even as a safety, which
means maybe youve got to
play a little bit more post-safety
coverage, which is hard in this
league because there are some
really good outside receivers.
Belichick: Pats will learn from Hernandez case
Belichick
The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
A grim-faced coach Bill
Belichick said Wednesday
the New England Patriots
will learn from the ter-
rible experience of Aaron
Hernandezs arrest on a
murder charge and work to
improve their player evalu-
ation process.
Speaking publicly for
the rst time since the
tight end was arrested four
weeks earlier, Belichick
said he was shocked and
disappointed to learn of
the criminal investigation
while he was out of the
United States.
He also sought to mini-
mize future attention on
the case.
My comments are cer-
tainly not in proportion to
the unfortunate and sad
situation that we have here,
but Ive been advised
to address the subject
once, and its time for
the New England
Patriots to move
forward, Belichick
said. Moving for-
ward consists of what
its always been here
to build a winning
football team, to be a strong
pillar in the community and
be a team that our fans can
be proud of.
Im not trying to make
this story disappear, but I
respect the judi-
cial process and
have been advised
not to comment
on ongoing legal
proceedings. Im
advising our play-
ers to do the same
things.
The Patriots
cut Hernandez after he was
arrested the morning of
June 26 and before he was
charged that afternoon.
Hernandez has pleaded not
guilty.
Players are scheduled
to report to training camp
today when quarterback

CANDICE CHOI
The Associated Press
It seems that not even Beyonce or
new, lower-calorie options can convince
Americans to drink more soda.
Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Dr
Pepper Snapple Group Inc. all sold less
soda in the second quarter in North
America, dashing hopes for the moment
that splashy new marketing and differ-
ent sweetener mixes could get drinkers
back.
Coca-Cola Co. said it sold 4 percent
less soda in North America, while
PepsiCo Inc. simply said its decline for
the region was in the mid-single dig-
its. Dr Pepper sold 3 percent less of the
zzy drinks.
Coca-Cola, based in Atlanta, blamed
the sluggish sales on a cold, wet spring.
But the declines continue a years-long
trend. According to the industry tracker
Beverage Digest, per capita soda con-
sumption in the U.S. has been slipping
steadily since 1998 amid concerns that
sugary drinks fuel weight gain.
Another problem is that people now
have so many more choices when it
comes to drinks. An endless array of
bottled waters, teas of many colors,
even energy shots and relaxation
drinks are vying for the attention of the
thirsty, with store coolers getting more
crowded all the time.
The trend wont change and will
probably get worse without a major
breakthrough in new sweeteners, said
John Sicher, editor and publisher of
trade publication Beverage Digest.
PepsiCos decline for the quarter
came despite its stepped-up marketing
over the past year; the company signed
pop star Beyonce to star in its ads and
signed a multiyear deal to sponsor the
Super Bowl halftime show. The com-
pany also introduced a mid-calorie soda
called Pepsi Next to win back people
whove quit soda because they dont
like the calories in regular or the taste
of diet.
To make up for the declines in the
meantime, the industry is relying on
bottled waters, teas, sports drinks and
other beverages to boost sales.
Soda sales losing their pop among North Americans

WASHINGTON
Americans snapped
up new homes in June
at the fastest pace in
ve years, a sign the
housing recovery is
strengthening.
The Commerce
Department said
Wednesday that sales
rose 8.3 percent last
month to a seasonally
adjusted annual pace
of 497,000. Thats up
from an annual pace of
459,000 in May, which
was revised lower.
While sales are still
below the 700,000 pace
consistent with healthy
markets, they have
risen 38 percent in the
past 12 months. Thats
the biggest annual gain
since January 1992.
Home sales and pric-
es have climbed since
early last year, buoyed
by solid hiring and
low mortgage rates.
Housing has helped
drive economic growth
this year at a time when
other parts of the econ-
omy have languished,
such as manufacturing
and business invest-
ment. New-home sales
make up only a small
part of the market, but
each home built cre-
ates an average of three
new jobs and generates
about $90,000 in tax
revenue, according to
data from the National
Association of Home
Builders. One concern
is that rising mortgage
rates could slow sales
in the coming months.
The average rate on the
30-year xed was 4.37
percent last week a
full percentage point
higher than in early
May. At the same time,
mortgage applications
to purchase homes have
fallen in the past few
weeks.
Rates surged
after Chairman Ben
Bernanke said the
Federal Reserve could
slow its bond-buying
program later this year
if the economy contin-
ues to improve. The
Feds bond purchases
have kept long-term
interest rates low,
encouraging more bor-
rowing and spending.
Still, other indicators
suggest housing should
continue to support the
economy this year.
Sales of previously
occupied homes slipped
in June to seasonally
adjusted annual rate of
5.08 million but stayed
near the 3-year high
reached in May.
Homebuilders are
more condent about
the housing recovery
than at any time in
seven years, accord-
ing to a survey by the
National Association of
Home Builders/Wells
Fargo. That suggests
home construction
should keep increas-
ing. Customer trafc
and builders outlook
for single-family home
sales over the next six
months are at the high-
est levels since the
housing bubble burst in
2006.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales of new homes, such as this one under construction in Matthews, N.C., rose 8.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual pace
of 497,000. Thats up from an annual pace of 459,000 in May.
Dell shareholder
vote delayed again
Dells founder is boosting his offer for
the struggling computer maker by a dime
to $13.75 per share in hopes of attracting
more shareholder support for his plan to
buy the company and take it private.
The move came just hours before Dells
shareholders were scheduled to vote on
the previous offer from Michael Dell and
the investment rm Silver Lake Partners.
The Round Rock, Texas, company said
it was delaying its shareholder meeting
for a second time, moving it to Aug. 2
to give its board time to consider the
offer. The meeting had been set for later
Wednesday, after being delayed the week
before in a sign that the offer didnt have
enough shareholder support.
Caterpillar sales
slowto a crawl
Second-quarter earnings at Caterpillar
fell 43 percent as dealers cut inventories
more than the company expected. The
worlds largest maker of construction and
mining equipment cut its prot and rev-
enue outlook for the year.
Caterpillar reported earnings of $960
million, or $1.45 per share, compared
with $1.7 billion, or $2.54 per share a
year ago. Revenue slid 15.8 percent to
$14.63 billion. Thats well short of Wall
Streets expectations. Analysts surveyed
by FactSet had expected a prot of $1.69
per share on revenue of $15.09 billion.
The Peoria, Ill., company said dealers
cut inventories by $1 billion as the global
mining industry slowed due to reduced
growth in China.
Commodity prices have fallen as well,
forcing miners to cut back on orders.
Boeing sees Q2
profts take of
Boeing posted a bigger-than-expected
second-quarter prot as it ramped up
deliveries of commercial planes like its
737 and 787.
The company also raised its full-year
earnings guidance, and its shares rose
nearly 2 percent in premarket trading.
Boeing is in the midst of a boom in
airplane orders as airlines in Asia and
Latin America expand. It is speeding up
production of its 737 as well as the new
787. Deliveries of all commercial planes
rose 13 percent to 169 planes during the
quarter.
Deliveries of the 787 were temporar-
ily halted earlier this year when the
plane was grounded because of battery
problems. But they resumed in May and
Boeing delivered 16 of the jets during the
quarter. It said it still expects to deliver at
least 60 of the 787s this year the same
goal it had before the battery problems
surfaced in January.

WILKES-BARRE Times
Leader Executive Editor Joe
Butkiewicz, a journalist with
the newspaper for the past
three decades, announced his
resignation on Wednesday.
The company is changing,
going in a direction with pro-
duction and it doesnt t my
style, Butkiewicz, 55, said in
an interview after informing
newsroom staffers at an emo-
tional meeting.
Butkiewicz penned a July 7
column explaining a change
in the newspapers appear-
ance resulting from The Times
Leader and its associated com-
munity papers moving the lay-
out and assembly of pages to a
pagination hub in Miamisburg,
Ohio.
Butkiewicz said pagination
hubs have been successful for
other newspaper chains, and
he thinks it can succeed here
with the right resources. But
for him, its not a good t.
And, I think for it to succeed,
I think I need to step out of the
way and let it go the way the
company wants to go. Its hard
because I love so many aspects
of it. But I do think that in my
old-fashioned way, Im in the
way of progress, Butkiewicz
said.
Walt T. Lafferty, regional
business development director
and general manager for The
Times Leader, said Butkiewicz
will remain on as executive edi-
tor until Labor Day. Lafferty
will begin the process of nd-
ing a replacement.
Joe has been the face of
this newsroom for many years
and has led The Times Leader
through many challenges and
successes, and we will be for-
ever grateful for that leader-
ship. As Joe navigates the next
challenge in his career, I would
like to extend best wishes and
nothing but success and happi-
ness, Lafferty said.
A Kingston native,
Butkiewicz graduated from
Bishop OReilly High School,
attended Luzerne County
Community College and gradu-
ated from New York University
with a degree in lmand televi-
sion. After living in New York
after college, he returned to
the Wyoming Valley.

Citing their value to the
states economy, U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey has co-sponsored a bill
that would allow short-line
railroads to take a tax deduc-
tion of up to 50 percent on
track improvements and other
infrastructure work.
Casey said the legislation
could affect a number of short
lines across the state, includ-
ing the Reading & Northern
Railroad, which serves parts
of Luzerne County.
Short lines are regional or
local carriers that connect
freight shippers and custom-
ers with larger railroads. Their
work saves the government
millions of dollars in highway
costs, Casey said.
Short-line railroads
help businesses across
Pennsylvania move their
goods, Casey said. Renewing
this tax credit will allow rail-
road companies to upgrade
their infrastructure so that
rail continues to have a role in
boosting the Commonwealths
economy.
The Short line Railroad
Rehabilitation and Investment
Act of 2013 would extend
a previous tax credit that is
expected to expire on Dec.
31, 2013. The tax credit act
originated with the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and
already has been extended
once.
The extension would run
through 2016, and would
allow new short-line
railroads that were
constructed after
2004 to be included
in the tax incentive.
A tax credit will
be given for 50 cents
of every dollar that
a customer or sup-
plier spends on
rail improvements,
allowing small rail-
road companies to
deduct up to 50 per-
cent of investments
made in track repair
and other qualifying
investments.
Port Clinton-based
Reading & Northern
operates freight ser-
vices in seven east-
ern Pennsylvania
counties, with
its main line and
branch lines serv-
ing Luzerne County.
R&N is a major pres-
ence in the Pittston
and Dupont areas,
where it has connec-
tions and a fracking
sand terminal.
Reading &
Northern is very
appreciative of Sen. Casey
support for this important
tax credit. Every year RBMN
spends millions of dollars to
maintain and upgrade its 320
miles of railroad in order to
provide high-quality service
to our dozens of customers,
President Wayne Michel said
Wednesday.
We totally support Sen.
Caseys efforts in support-
ing this bill. It has allowed
our regional rail system to
grow from 580 (freight) cars
in 1985 to over 7,000 cur-
rently, said Larry Malski,
president of the Scranton-
based Pennsylvania Northeast
Regional Railroad Authority, a
100-mile network of regional
rails around Lackawanna and
Monroe counties.
Sen. Casey: Pro-railroad bill would aid short lines
DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
As the once-proud city of
Detroit humbles itself in bank-
ruptcy court, its nancial future
might hinge on this key ques-
tion: Is the city obliged to its
past? Or can Detroit renege on
its promises to thousands of
retirees for the sake of its pres-
ent city services?
The legal question at the heart
of Detroits bankruptcy ling has
never denitively been answered
by the nations highest courts.
But it could become increasingly
important as cities from coast to
coast are grappling with short-
falls in pension funds that left
unchecked could force cutbacks
to police, reghters and other
essential city services.
On Wednesday, the federal
judge overseeing Detroits bank-
ruptcy ruled that city employees
could not go to state courts to
keep their pensions out of the
bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy
Judge Steven Rhodes said he
would hear the pensioners argu-
ments in his court.
Some cities, such as Detroit,
are located in states where pen-
sion benets are guaranteed in
full according to state constitu-
tions, statutes or court prec-
edent. Yet Detroits emergency
manager is asserting that those
guarantees go away in federal
bankruptcy court, leaving retir-
ees in the same pool as numer-
ous other creditors who might
get mere cents for each dollar
they are owed.
Theres not a lot of previ-
ous case law that tells us whats
going to happen here, said Paul
Secunda, a Marquette University
law professor who specializes in
labor and benets issues.
Its not just an issue of
bankruptcy law and pension
law, its also an issue of federal-
ism, Secunda said. Can a fed-
eral bankruptcy court basically
ignore a state constitutional
provision and allow a city like
Detroit to ignore its previous
promises concerning public
employee pensions?
The question matters because
pensions pose a major liabil-
ity for states, counties, cities,
schools and other local gov-
ernmental entities. A report
released earlier this year by the
Pew Charitable Trusts found
that the nations largest cities
had a combined pension short-
fall of almost $100 billion and
an even larger shortfall in retir-
ee health-care benets as the
nations nancial crisis peaked
in the 2009 scal year.
Although municipal nances
generally have improved since
then, many local retirement
plans remain on an unsustain-
able path, the Pew organization
said.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder
and Detroit emergency manager
Kevyn Orr contend that retiree
benets should be able to be
trimmed along with other debts
to restore the citys nances.
Detroit has about 21,000 retired
workers who are owed benets,
with underfunded obligations of
about $3.5 billion for pensions
and $5.7 billion for retiree health
coverage.
There have to be conces-
sions, Orr said earlier this
week. A similar situation is
unfolding in Stockton, Calif.,
which entered bankruptcy in
April after its property tax rev-
enues were hit hard by the hous-
ing crisis. Stockton owes the
California Public Employees
Retirement System about $900
million to cover pension promis-
es, by far the citys largest nan-
cial obligation. The city already
has tried to save costs elsewhere
by slashing employment, cutting
health benets for current work-
ers and limiting its police force
to responding only to emergen-
cies in progress.
Bondinsurerscontendpension
cuts should be part of Stocktons
debt reduction plan to be sub-
mitted to a bankruptcy judge
in September. Attorneys for the
creditors argue employees who
beneted when economic times
were good should have to share
the pain now that times are bad.
But union representa-
tives contend retiree benets
already have been earned and
shouldnt be part of the dis-
cussion in bankruptcy court.
Its essentially similar to sal-
ary you just dont reach inside
somebodys savings account and
take their pay back, nor should
you reach inside their pension
and deny them their pension
benets, said Steve Kreisberg,
director of collective bargaining
and pensions for the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees.

The boy-band bandwagon
KRISTINTILLOTSON
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
MINNEAPOLIS When One Direction rolls into
town, the collective sighs of Midwest tween and
teen girls will pack enough oomph to inate several
Metrodomes. The British quintet of uffy, sugar-dust-
ed pastries with adorable haircuts are better known as
Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn and Liam to their fans, most
of whom would just fall down and die literally, die
if the objects of their extremely intense affection
sidled up next to them and said Hallo.
They wouldnt expect their mothers, or even anyone
over 15, to understand why 1D (thats fan shorthand)
are simply the best, the cutest, the sweetest, the most
talented singing group ever born.
Sorry, girls, but this particular phenoms not new.
Your mom, and maybe even your granny, went through
her own version of the contained hysteria gripping
your heart at the moment. Its been cycling around
every several years since Beatlemania rst hit the tar-
mac in 1964.
For proof, you need only check out New Kids on
the Block, swinging through on another reunion tour.
They might be too long in the tooth and thin on the top
for todays 12-year-olds to crush on, but about 25 years
ago, they attracted as many high-decibel squeals and
fevered mash notes as 1D does now (though in 1Ds
case, its tweets and posts).
Whether they form organically or are manu-
factured in a pop-cultural petri dish, boy bands
serve a very important purpose in the lives of
girls of a certain age. Hint: Its not making music.
Behold, a phenomenon in which some things never change
Hype not tearing up the hearts of local fans
Bands of the80s and90s still top the
charts compared to todays hitmakers
CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES
chughes@timesleader.com
The children of the 1980s and 1990s say they
recognize the hype associated with boy bands
like the fresh-faced members of One Direction.
They know it because theyve lived through
it.
The hype they survived as part of the legions
of fans supporting New Kids on the Block,
the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and even The
Monkees and The Beatles seems to hit a new
cycle every few years.
The hype now is not nearly as big as it was
in the late 80s and early 90s for NKOTB,
Scranton resident Carrie Ferrone said. The
bands ability to continue to play to fans and
include their 90s counterparts shows their
staying power.
Die-hard BSB fan Kristina Oakley, of Jessup,
said she was always a little more protective
over the photos and articles about her favorite
boy band than others may have been.
I was such a crazy fan that I wouldnt put
their posters and pictures from the magazines
up on the walls, she said. They were put in
binders with plastic covers around them so
they didnt get messed up.
Other fans were all about the merchandise
from the Joey McIntyre doll Scranton resi-
dent Stephanie Longo owned to the New Kids
sheets and pillowcases that covered Keystone
College graduate and Staten Island, N.Y. resi-
dent Nicole Thompsons bed.
For some, fandom knows know end.
Clarks Green resident Katherine Franchino
Jenkins said she has always been, and always
will be, a loyal BSB fan, and Dunmore resi-
dent Aubrie Hugenbruch Collins recalls her
membership in the NKOTB fan club.
Hanson fan Holly Gibbs of Nicholson said
shes still an active member of the MMMBop
makers fan club since 1997. Shes seen the
group in concert more than 50 times and has
met them on several occasions.
No matter the generation, it seems boy
bands wont quit playing games with girls
hearts.
Dont call them One Direction. Use 1D if you dont want to date yourself.

Case Scenario Survival
Handbook: Dating &
Sex. If youve loudly
expressed your dis-
dain for stamp collect-
ing, which turns out to
be your gracious hosts
favorite hobby, you might
say, Well, thats just my
opinion. Tell me what you

Advice for the worlds
most-anticipated royal baby
GEORGEA KOVANIS
Detroit Free Press
Theres a lot of love out there for
William and Kates new addition. The
world and those who shop it is
welcoming the new heir who is third
in line to the British throne with every-
thing from limited-edition cheese and
onesies to commemorative biscuits and
mugs. But being a member of the royal
family isnt easy. Make a false move, put
your foot in your mouth or in some-
one elses, as one royal did and youll
end up as tabloid fodder for the entire
world. Have the misfortune of being
snapped in the nude by a rogue photog-
rapher and you could become the butt
of jokes. Do something ridiculous and
you may get pinned with an unatter-
ing nickname. Which is why, baby royal,
its best to learn from the royal familys
good works and stupid mistakes. Heres
some advice:
DO: follow your familys example of
service. Your parents and Uncle Harry
(Prince Henry of Wales) are patrons
of their own charity The Royal
Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge and Prince Harry which
focuses on the welfare of children, mem-
bers and veterans of the armed forces
and conservation. Your paternal grand-
mother, Diana, the former Princess of
Wales, sold her stunning dresses at auc-
tion and donated the proceeds to char-
ity.
DONT: forget as your naked par-
tying uncle, Prince Harry, did that
what happens in Vegas doesnt neces-
sarily stay in Vegas. The family was not
amused when Harry went to Las Vegas
last year and photos of him covering his
family jewels with just his hand showed
up in newspapers.
DO: realize, in fact, that if you take
off your clothes someone will photo-
graph you. Your mother and your grand-
mother, Diana, were both snapped by
photographers while sunbathing topless
on vacation. Your grandfather, Charles,
Prince of Wales, was naked when he
was photographed looking out a win-
dow of a so-called private retreat. Your
great grandfather, Prince Philip, Duke
of Edinburgh, was accused of ashing
an audience last year at the Gathering
for the Highland Games in Scotland.
Photos showed he apparently failed to
wear underwear beneath his kilt.
DONT: let anyone suck your toes
in public especially if, like your
Aunt Sarah (Ferguson), Duchess of
York, you are half-naked. The inci-
dent ended her marriage to your great
uncle, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

NARA SCHOENBERG
Chicago Tribune
It was the rst week
of my rst job, and one
of my co-workers was
showing me around the
building.
My boss was the nic-
est guy ever, my new co-
worker told me, and the
books he edited liter-
ary ction, music-relat-
ed nonction were
amazing. I was nervous
and a bit embarrassed
by the strong implica-
tion that my job was bet-
ter than my co-workers,
and I went with the rst
boss-effacing statement
that popped into my
head: Well, at least he
doesnt do cookbooks.
A brief silence ush-
ered in my co-workers
chilly reply.
Um, actually, my boss
does cookbooks, she
said.
Oops.
We hear a lot about
high-concept faux pas,
such as actress Jennifer
Lawrences stumble at
the Oscars, but the truth
of the matter is that most
of our social suffering
arises from smaller set-
backs. We inadvertently
insult someone, spill a
beverage on a date, for-
get a persons name at a
social function, pass gas
during a lull in the con-
versation or tell a joke
that falls at.
And then, we wonder,
what on earth do I do
now?
Experts advise apolo-
gizing where appropri-
ate, maintaining your
sense of humor and
moving on fairly quickly.
Dont take yourself
so seriously that you
derail the conversa-
tion, not with your
ub, but actually with
your response to your
own mistake, says
Jessica Hagy, author of
How to Be Interesting
(In 10 Simple Steps)
(Workman).
It also may be helpful
to remember that your
faux pas likely looms
larger in your mind than
in anyone elses.
Theres something
called the spotlight
effect people think
that theyre in the spot-
light but everyone
thinks theyre in the
spotlight, says Rodolfo
Mendoza-Denton, an
associate professor
of psychology at the
University of California
at Berkeley.
So in the eyes of other
people, ones actions
arent being analyzed as
carefully as one thinks,
he adds. I nd that to
be a great relief. When I
put my foot in my mouth
or I trip on the street,
people notice, but then
they kind of move on.
And now for specic
solutions to ve of lifes
stickiest social scenari-
os:
Youve inadvertently
insulted someone:
Essentially, you want
to keep calm, acknowl-
edge the mistake and
change the subject,
says David Borgenicht,
co-author of The
Worst Case Scenario
series of books and its
newest, The Worst-
O

(Im thinking I might
have addressed my unfor-
tunate cookbook comment
in the same style, saying,
Im sorry. This is my rst
week, and Im really ner-
vous, before moving on
with How long have your
worked here? or Do you
like to cook?)
Youve spilled a bever-
age on someone:
Apologize, offer to pay for
any dry-cleaning bills and
help clean up where appro-
priate, Borgenicht says.
If youre on a date and its
going well, congratulations!
Youre going to be forgiven.
If youre on a date and it isnt
going well, congratulations!
You just provided yourself
with a convenient excuse to
cut the night short.
Whatever you do, dont
panic and jump around
excitedly as you try to
obtain cleaning materials.
You want to minimize an
embarrassing incident, not
draw attention to it.
You cant remember a
name at a party:
If youre called upon to
introduce two people and
the name of one of those
people escapes you, use
the name you do know,
Borgenicht advises. Tell the
mystery person, I really
want you to meet Jenny.
Let them shake hands and
wait for the mystery per-
son to say his name, or for
Jenny to ask for his name. If
youre alone at a party with
someone whose name you
dont recall, you can wait it
out and hope your memory
improves, or you can look
for someone to introduce
you to the mystery person.
You snort, burp or
pass gas:
Were human and these
things happen, Hagy says.
Theres no real reason to
comment, unless someone
else does. It may help to
remember that this isnt
fourth grade, when he who
denied it supplied it passes
for clever conversation.
I think for the most part,
the more polite the compa-
ny is, the less this will come
up as an actual issue, Hagy
says.
Your joke falls at:
This happens to every-
one, including top come-
dians. Borgenicht recom-
mends acknowledging the
silence, maybe with a one-
liner: Thanks, everyone! Ill
be here all week! and then
moving on to another topic.
Whatever you do, he says,
dont try to repair the dam-
age by telling another joke.
DO: follow in the foot-
steps of your mother,
Catherine, Duchess of
Cambridge (a.k.a. Kate
Middleton), and grand-
mother, Princess Diana,
and pay attention to fash-
ion. The world is going to
talk about you, they may as
well be talking about how
great you look. And please
tell the men in your family
that double-breasted suits
look dorky.
DONT: ever make fun
of Queen Elizabeths clunky
purses. Theyre wacky, but
shes the boss lady.
DO: realize you will
probably be tall. Your father
is 6-feet-3, your mom 5-feet-
10.
DONT: upstage your
sibling at his or her own
wedding. (Yes, Aunt Pippa,
were talking about you
and that fabulous dress
you wore to the wedding
of your sister and Prince
William. )
DO: have adven-
tures. Prince Harry, for
example, was recently
named Apache Helicopter
Commander for the British
Army. Also, hes served a
tour in Afghanistan. Your
father and your great uncle
(Andrew) are pilots, too.
DONT: forget your
phones might be tapped.
Thats how the world dis-
covered the sordid details
of the relationship between
Prince Charles and his
then-mistress, Camilla
Parker Bowles.
DO: realize that its
a very small world out
there. The ex-husband
(Andrew Parker Bowles)
of Prince Charles current
wife, Camilla, Duchess of
Cornwall, used to date your
great Aunt Anne, Princess
Royal. Prince Charles used to
datethesister of your deceased
grandmother (Diana).
DONT: develop a repu-
tation as a spendthrift like
Prince Andrew, who has
been dubbed Air Miles
Andy due to his fondness
for taking helicopters dis-
tances he could easily drive.
DO: realize that people
will make comparisons
between you and Princess
Diana because you share
the same sign of the zodiac.
Traditional Cancer traits:
emotional and loving;
intuitive and imaginative;
shrewd and cautious; pro-
tective and sympathetic;
changeable and moody,
overemotional and touchy,
clinging and unable to let
go.
DONT: court contro-
versy. Learn from the many
errors in judgment made by
Prince Andrew. According
to published reports, in
recent years he allowed
a convicted pedophile to
pay off the debts of his
ex-wife (Sarah Ferguson)
and allowed a convicted
Libyan gun smuggler to
pay for a four-day holiday
in Tunisia. Funny, at one
point, dating a porn star
was Andrews biggest prob-
lem. Meanwhile, Sarah
Ferguson offered an under-
cover journalist access to
Andrew in exchange for
money. And Andrew lost
his job as a trade envoy.
DO: expect to be sur-
rounded by horses. Your
Aunt Anne, and her daugh-
ter, Zara Philips, both com-
peted in equestrian events
in the Olympics. Your
father, Prince Charles and
Uncle Harry all play polo.
DONT: be surprised if
your family is rattled by the
new movie, Diana, which
stars Naomi Watts as your
grandmother and opens in
London on Sept. 5. Diana,
adored by the public, is a
sensitive subject.
DO: make sure to always
wear a seat belt. Princess
Diana wasnt wearing one
when she died.
DONT: date jerks.
Diana had an affair with
James Hewitt, a cavalry
ofcer, who tried to sell her
love letters after her death.
DO: be charming. If you
need lessons, take them
from Prince Harry, who,
despite his occasional
lapses in judgment (Las
Vegas), is very well-liked
and known for his ability to
talk to everyone and make
everyone feel comfortable.
DONT: forget that peo-
ple loved Diana because
she cared about children,
people who were sick, peo-
ple who were injured by
landmines and those less
fortunate than your family
members.
DO: remember to marry
for the right reasons.
Charles and Diana married
for the wrong reasons and
in doing so harmed the
lives of several people.
Hint: Its not making
music.
From the Monkees to
Menudo, the Jackson 5
to the Jonas Brothers,
the Bay City Rollers to
the Backstreet Boys, boy
bands are who you and
your friends practice
your fantasies on in order
to prepare for real-life
interaction. Theyre the
transition between imagi-
nary friends of your child-
hood and actual boys you
know and might, like, go
out with someday. And
though musical styles
may evolve, the essen-
tial ingredients to a suc-
cessful boy band never
change.
1. The more, the
merrier. Justin Bieber
has his beliebers, as did
early-1970s dreamboat
David Cassidy and other
pretty-boy solo pop stars
targeted at tweens and
teens, but a whole group
gives a pack of girlfriends
more options, so theyre
not competing with their
BFFs over the same star.
With 1D, Liam is the
smart one, Harry the
irty one, Niall the cute
one. How its determined
that any one of these be-
gelled cherubs is more
attractive than the oth-
ers is a matter of ercely
friendly debate. You like
Harry, Ill take Niall. We
dont have time for con-
ict because we have to
tweet about them for the
29th time today.
2. Baby-faced is bet-
ter. Soulfully blue-eyed
Niall Horan and Harry
Styles, whose neck seems
ready to snap from the
weight of his gorgeous
brunet moptop, are the
most popular members
of One Direction. Same
thing happened with
Paul McCartney of the
Beatles, Davy Jones of the
Monkees, Donny Osmond
of the Osmonds and Ricky
Martin of Menudo. Why?
They all have (or had)
faces that are at most gen-
der-neutral, some of them
downright girlish, and
they sing tenor, or even
falsetto.
Boy bands are about as
sexually suggestive as a
teddy bear, and thus just
as non-threatening, safe-
ly dreamy objects upon
which to hurl unbridled
and unconsummated
affection. No 11-year-
old wants to daydream
about some bearded,
cursing, pelvis-thrusting
rocker and her parents
want that even less.
The members of 1D
are all under 21, making
them legit boys, but most
boy-band idols are a bit
older, so they have to look
to Peter Pan for grooming
tips to avoid alienating
their target market with
gross man stuff like too
much hair anywhere but
on top. Thats why most
are clean-shaven and keep
the number of scary tat-
toos to a minimum. For
girls this age, nice beats
nasty any day.
3. Singin my life with
his words. Fans will bris-
tle at the mere suggestion
that their crushes might
not be the most musi-
cally original or talented
pop stars to sell out an
arena, but talent takes
a back seat to personali-
ties and lyrics. The suc-
cessful boy bands songs
must be easy for anyone
with braces and a pink
diary to personalize. One
Directions biggest hit to
date, What Makes You
Beautiful, is brilliant for
the way it taps into the
psyche of adolescence
with all its insecurities
and vanities. Ditto for
Please Dont Go Girl,
the 1988 NKOTB ballad,
sung high and plaintively
by then-bundle-of-squee
Joey McIntyre (still
pretty darn cute, at 40).
Theres nothing a young
girl dipping a toe into the
rejection-fraught world of
romance nds more reas-
suring than being begged
by a guy to stay forever
and ever.
4. Gotta have a guru.
Of marketing, that is.
One Direction is the cre-
ation of TV talent-contest
impresario Simon Cowell,
who knows a thing or two
about promotion. In the
1990s, Lou Pearlman was
the mastermind behind
both the Backstreet Boys
and N Sync (in 2008, he
was convicted of a far-
reaching nancial scam).
As far back as 1966, the
Monkees were pre-mold-
ed as Americas answer to
the Beatles on a week-
ly TV show, no less.
Boy bands are pack-
aged as a product to be
gobbled like candy, by
proteers engaged in the
pop-music equivalent of
the smash-and-grab, cash-
ing in before their stars
ve oclock shadow gets
too dark.
While the formula still
stands, one very signi-
cant modern twist affects
both the perception and
marketing of todays boy
bands. In the old days, the
only outlets were Tiger
Beat, 16 and a couple
of other fan mags from
which to tear out a poster
or six. Now YouTube and
social media, plus a jug-
gernaut of tie-in merchan-
dise, have made nearly
instant, worldwide adora-
tion possible, with One
Directions more than 6
million Twitter followers
as Exhibit A. The down-
side: Internet saturation
can shorten shelf lives.
Maybe thats why One
Directions 1D World
pop-up store at Mall of
America was shrewdly
open for only six weeks
last spring.

Diddy hopes
to bring music
back to TV
Hes launching Revolt TV
in the fall.
Theres ESPN for sports,
CNN, Fox News for news
and the AP. There should be
a brand for music, and now
we have that brand thats
going to focus on music and
not reality shows, he said.
Theres been a gaping hole
once some of the other chan-
nels stopped having focus on
music and focused more on
reality, and it left a gaping
hole for artists and fans of
not having a place to go.
The 43-year-old entre-
preneur announced last
week that Revolt TV had
reached a deal to have his
network distributed on Time
Warner Cable. Comcast
Corp. announced a deal with
Diddys network last year.
Sean Diddy Combs
has produced shows like
Making the Band for MTV,
and hes hoping to bring the
avor of whats buzzing on
the Internet viral vid-
eos, behind-the-scene music
moments and raw inter-
views to TV sets.

NEWYORKDiddy had
been working on develop-
ing a TV network for years.
When he was almost shut
out of performing on ABCs
Dancing With the Stars
around the release of a 2010
album, the rapper-producer
realized he needed to launch
the network sooner rather
than later.
I had to beg to be on
Dancing With the Stars,
and it was something to me
that wasnt right about that,
he said.
Diddy believed there
werent enough outlets for
musicians on TV and that
moment drove home the
point.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
read you for years,
and I must take
issue with your
answer to Needs
the Right Words
(March 17). He
asked about his son
and his sons half-brother visiting
his beach house. (He didnt want the
half-brother included.)
While you addressed the writers
needs, and yes, he is entitled to his
feelings, I think you should have
taken this a step further.
Once you become a father, it is not
all about you anymore. The 12-year-
old boy is now, and forever will be,
his sons half-brother. Unless this man
wants to distance himself from his
son and cause permanent damage
to their relationship, he needs to get
some therapy so he will be able to
think of that boy in a different way
and can deal with him in the future.
The two boys seem to have a good
relationship, and a future with his son
will include the half-brother.
Someday that boy will be a grown
man, and he will recognize the kind-
ness shown to him. The boy is not
responsible for his mothers behavior
and the father needs to realize that.
Deborah in Chandler, Ariz.
Dear Deborah: You are right. It
would have been better for all con-
cerned if I had been harder on the
father and more sensitive to the feel-
ings of the boys involved, which many
readers pointed out to me:
Dear Abby: I almost always agree
with your answers, but your answer
to that letter was off the mark. Its ad-
mirable that his son has such a close
relationship with his half-brother, and
not allowing the boys to do some-
thing they enjoy together for a week-
end is wrong. That the writer admits
he still has problems with the past is
his problem, not the kids.
Since he admits it brings up feel-
ings he THOUGHT he had put be-
hind him, he should get professional
help to finally deal with those unre-
solved issues. Also, if he doesnt want
the 12-year-old in his house for one
weekend of fun, then he should take
his wife away for a romantic weekend
and let the boys use the beach house
in his absence.
Been There, Done That in Kansas
Dear Abby: Tell that man to get
a psychotherapist! The child isnt
responsible for his mothers behav-
ior. The man needs to expand his
heart. When hes an old man he will
never regret hosting the boy, but he
WOULD regret having hurt a child
and perhaps alienating his own son.
You called that one wrong, Abby!
Leslie R., Champaign, Ill.
Dear Abby: I agree with your advice
more often than not, although I sus-
pect we are at opposite ends of the
political spectrum. That father needs
to grow up and put the feelings of his
son and his sons half-brother before
his own. Its time people learned once
more what it means NOT to be selfish
and think of their own feelings, but
the feelings of others. Please recon-
sider your response.
Paul W., Johnson City, Tenn.
Dear Paul: I have, and I regret my
initial answer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Getting
on the same page in relation-
ships is the challenge of the day.
Someone may be thinking of you
as a sweetheart while you are
still working out the logistics of
friendship.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
derive pleasure from helping
others, and it wouldnt occur to
you to want a reward. But youll
be rewarded anyway with the
highest esteem of your peers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your gen-
eral rule is that if youre speak-
ing more than youre listening,
youre talking too much. But
today, what you have to say is
so crucial to the group that you
may have to break this rule.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
audience you want may not be
the audience you have. But if
you give more to the people who
are already listening to you, you
will attract the ones who are not.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is very
tempting to get caught up in the
high praise of others and run
with it, but this is not gracious.
You will be most proud of what
you do from a humble place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
tendency to hold everyone to
a high standard is an outcrop-
ping of your love of humanity.
You believe people are capable
of reaching their full potential,
and some will because you make
them accountable.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As a
socially sophisticated person,
you realize that sometimes when
people are telling secrets, they
actually mean to be overheard.
Youll leverage your social savvy
this evening.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
have an impulse to make bold
moves tonight, but will you?
Much depends on your confi-
dence in the moment, which
depends on your habits earlier in
the day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The effort involved in trying to
impress someone will have the
payoff of accomplishing the
exact opposite. In some games,
the only winner is the one who
forfeits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Expectations are dangerous,
especially if another person is
expecting something of you.
Dont let people build you up in
their minds, because it will be
too much work for you to fill the
role, and youll wind up resentful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just
about everyone speaks logically,
but you do something that sets
you apart: You paint pictures
with your words, and this makes
your stories compelling and your
personality charismatic.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Theres
a fine line between overthinking
the future and planning ahead.
Youll know you have crossed
into overthinking when all of
your thoughts are preventing
you from moving.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 25). A
loving person will strongly influ-
ence decisions over the next 10
weeks. A sweet someone makes
you happy, and your happiness
leads to victories outside of your
personal life. September brings a
lifestyle enhancement. Aries and
Gemini people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 33, 39
and 18.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING FEATURE PAGE
KEEPS YOU SAFE: The phone lines are ringing off the hook. Thats because brand new Senior Mobile cell phones are being handed over to Manchester
area seniors for free just by covering a simple one-time activation fee before the deadline ends. Im so happy we got the phones. Now I know shell be safe and
I dont have to worry about her going out alone anymore, said Chuck G. The Senior Mobiles exclusive large red E safety button is a life saver that never leaves
you alone in an emergency situation. It immediately sends help wherever you are by instantly calling emergency medical, police, fire and rescue for free. I love
the fact that we can just push a button and instantly get help wherever were at for free, said Carol G.
CONNECTICUT The phone lines are ring-
ing off the hook.
Thats because Manchester area seniors who
call the Toll Free Hotlines today are getting
the new easy-to-use Senior Mobile

cell phones
free.
So, if youre still risking your safety by not
having a cell phone, well now theres no reason
not to get one and the phone is free.
This is all happening because the U.S. Govt
put a Federal Regulation in place that makes cell
phone giants transmit free emergency calls in
all 50 states, which is why this announcement is
being so widely advertised. This allows U.S. res-
idents to use the newSenior Mobile cell phone as
an emergency phone to call emergency medical,
police, fire and rescue for free as well as an ev-
eryday cell phone with nationwide coverage, no
contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills.
The only thing residents need to do is call the
Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour order dead-
line ends to cover just a one-time activation fee
to instantly be awarded the new Senior Mobile
cell phone for free. But only the first Manchester
area seniors who do are also getting nationwide
coverage with no long distance charges, no con-
tracts, no deposits and no monthly bills.
Its important that seniors call right away to
get the free cell phones because after the dead-
line ends the phones are no longer free and res-
idents will be required to pay $199.00 for each
new phone, said David Martin, Executive Di-
rector of U.S. based CompTek.
To get the free phones seniors need to call the
Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-313-6640 before the
48-hour order deadline ends.
Everyone who does is being given the new
easy-to-use cell phone free just by covering the
one-time
$
97 activation fee and shipping which
includes assigning a cell phone number, a SIM
card loaded with 100 anytime minutes good for
sixty days which allows the Senior Mobile phone
to be used as anemergency phone as well as your
everyday cell phone, preprogramming the one-
touchE911 Emergency Buttonthat gives your lo-
cation to E 911 (Enhanced 911) highly trained first
responders who will send emergency help wher-
ever youre at for free, a portable home phone
charger and installing the lithium long life bat-
tery so its ready to use right out of the box.
Safety research shows that 74% of Americans
who own a cell phone have used it in an emergen-
cy situation to get help when they needed it.
Yet millions of seniors are still risking their
safety by not having one. The main reason for
this is that seniors find most cell phones too dif-
ficult to use.
Thats why the new easy-to-use Senior Mobile
cell phones are being given to seniors for free.
It was made just for seniors with big buttons,
a large screen and magnified text that make it
easy to see. Its also hearing aid compatible with
an extra loud speaker that makes it easy to hear.
Plus its the only cell phone in the world that was
the exclusive Senior Mobile E one-touch safety
button that instantly calls emergency medical,
police, fire and rescue for free.
The Senior Mobile cell phone is perfect for
seniors on fixed incomes because its free and
comes with no contracts or deposits. And since
its so easy-to-use many seniors are getting rid
of their home phones and saving hundreds of
dollars in long distance and service charges,
Martin said.
Seniors just want to be safe or stay in touch
with family and friends, so the Senior Mobile cell
phone doesnt play games, take pictures or go on
the Internet, which makes it among the easiest
cell phones to use in the world, said Martin.
Thousands of Manchester area seniors are ex-
pected to call to get the free Senior Mobile cell
phones today. So if lines are busy keep trying, all
calls will be answered.
Seniors set to get easy to use cell phones free
New cell phones that keep seniors safe are being given away free to everyone who beats the 48 hour deadline to
cover just the one-time activation fee, but only the first Connecticut area seniors who call are also getting
nationwide coverage with no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills
Big buttons, large screen and magnified text make it easy to see; extra loud speaker makes it easy to hear and the
one touch emergency safety button instantly calls emergency medical, police, fire and rescue free
How to get the phones free:
The National Toll Free Hotlines are now open. Seniors have just 48
hours to get the free Senior Mobile cell phones beginning at 8:30am
this morning. CompTek is authorizing the giveaway of the easy-to-use
cell phones to everyone who beats the 48-hour deadline to cover just a
one-time
$
97 activation fee and shipping. But only those who are among
the first Manchester area seniors to call are also getting nationwide cov-
erage with no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no
monthly bills.
HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT: Things can change in the blink of an eye. Imagine being all alone in an
emergency situation like the one shown above with no one to help. Thats why its so important to have a
cell phone. They act as a personal safety net in case of emergency to keep people safe. A cell phone with
a one touch emergency safety button that instantly calls emergency medical, police, fire and rescue for
free is the best one to get. That way you never have to worry about being stuck alone.
Cell phones prove to be safety net
in case of emergency
CONNECTICUT - When it comes to person-
al safety every senior should have a cell phone.
They can save your life. In the U.S. Depart-
ment of Interiors Safe and Secure memo it
even urges citizens to carry them.
In real emergencies they provide people with a
lifeline of communication if hurt, stranded or to
report a crime. No matter where or what kindof
emergency or duress a person finds themselves
underespecially if theyre all aloneif they
have a cell phone they can call 911 for help.
Cell phones act as valuable lifelines in health-
related issues, too. At the very least, they pro-
vide an easier way to keep in touch with family
and friends. Theyre easy to get and seniors
may even find special deals that require no con-
tracts, deposits or monthly service charges.
Theres no question that everyone should have
a cell phone for safety. But theres no real need
to have one that plays games, takes pictures or
goes on the Internet. Its important to make sure
the phone can be pre-programmed or has a one
touch emergency safety button that instantly
calls for emergency help when needed.
It should also be easy-to-use with big but-
tons, a large display screen and big numbers
so its easy to see. And last of all the phone
should be hearing aid compatible with an ex-
tra loud speaker that makes it easy to hear.
But remember, a cell phone cant help you un-
less you have one.

Cell phones provide sig-
nificant economic gains for low-income American
households.
U.S. Dept. of Interior urges
citizens to carry cell phones

To get the Senior Mobile phone Free: Read the important information listed below about the Senior Mobile cell phone.
Then call the National Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends at: 1-800-313-6640
1-800-313-6640
To get the free phones begin
calling at 8:30 a.m. today
Who gets the Senior Mobile phones Free: All Manchester area seniors who beat the 48-hour order deadline are getting the new easy-to-use Senior Mobile cell
phones free with nationwide coverage, no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills.
What if I already have a cell phone: Even seniors who already have a cell phone are getting the Senior Mobile cell phones free. This allows seniors to
save money by getting rid of high monthly cell phone bills and lengthy contracts associated with other cell phones. The Senior Mobile cell phone is perfect for
seniors because its easy-to-use with big buttons, a large screen, magnified text, a loud speaker and a one touch safety button that instantly calls emergency
help for free.
Do I have to pay for minutes: No. Seniors who plan on using the phone just for emergencies get unlimited emergency calls for free. Thats because the
U.S. Govt put a Federal Regulation in place that makes cell phone giants transmit free emergency calls in all 50 states. But heres the good news. You can call
family and friends too because the Senior Mobile phone comes with 100 anytime minutes good for sixty days. After that just dial 7768 on your Senior Mobile
phone to reload your phone with unlimited minutes as an added option with nationwide coverage, no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no
monthly bills.
Why is the activation fee so lowfor seniors: The U.S. based company responsible for distributing the free phones is giving every senior who beats the deadline
a 50% savings to help cover the cost of the one-time activation. The Senior Mobile phone is perfect for seniors because it comes with nationwide coverage, no long
distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills. After the deadline each Senior Mobile phone is $199, but seniors who beat the 48-hour deadline
to get the phones free and save 50% off the activation cover just
$
97 and shipping as long as they call the National Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-313-6640 before
the deadline ends.
CONSUMERS MAY, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE, RETURN THE SENIOR MOBILE WITHIN 10 DAYS OF RECEIPT IN LIKE-NEW CONDITION FOR A REFUND. SHIPPING CHARGES AND PRE-PAID MINUTES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. NO RETURNS
AFTER 10 DAYS. SCREEN IMAGES ON THE SENIOR MOBILE ARE SIMULATED. UNIVERSAL COMMERCE DBA COMPTEK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST RETURNED SHIPMENTS. 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720
