LUZERNE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING
WASHINGTON Battling stiff resistance
in Congress, President Barack Obama con-
ceded Monday night he might lose his ght
for congressional support of a
military strike against Syria,
and declined to say what he
would do if lawmakers reject
his call to back retaliation for
a chemical weapons attack
last month.
The president made his
comment as a glimmer of a
possible diplomatic solution
appeared after months of deance from the
Russian-backed government of President
Bashar Assad in Syria. In a rapid response,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cited
international discussions in unexpect-
edly postponing a test vote originally set for
Wednesday on Obamas call for legislation
backing a military strike.
In a series of six network interviews
planned as part of a furious lobbying cam-
paign in Congress, Obama said statements
suggesting that Syria might agree to surren-
der control of its chemical weapons stockpile

WILKES-BARRE The
Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board on Monday night
voted 5-1 in favor of a new
four-year teachers contract
that is expected to save the
district $1 million per year
through increased insurance
co-pays for participants,
ofcials said.
Mondays meeting also
featured an address to the
board by local NAACP lead-
er Ron Felton on the need
for more minority teachers
in the increasingly diverse
district.
The new contract also will
see teachers receive a pay
increase of $1,000 per step,
or pay grade, although of-
cials could not immediately
say how much that will cost
the district.
I thought it was abso-
lutely wonderful, Im very
happy, union president Jeff
Ney said, praising the board
for its openness during the
negotiating process.
Ney said union members
viewed increased co-pays as
an even trade for the sala-
ry increase, and a move that
would help save the district
money.
While $1,000 per step
sounds like a lot, Wilkes-
Barre Area is unusual in
that it has banded steps,
meaning the salary stays
the same for several years
before the next raise. Most
districts give smaller raises
each year. Wilkes-Barre
Areas contract has 15
steps, but raises only occur
on steps two, ve, 10 and
15. In between those years,
salaries are unchanged
unless the teacher advances
in the column part of the
pay matrix, which increases
salary based on education
beyond a bachelors degree
up to a doctorate.
Solicitor Ray
Wendolowski said the pay
raise coupled with the
health insurance savings
add up to a substantial net
savings for the district.
The contract also claried
language regarding health
care coverage for retirees,
making it clearer that the
district will not cover insur-
ance once a retiree is eligi-
ble for Medicare at age 65.
And the new contract
added language that makes

Demo frmowner
killed in collapse
SWOYERSVILLE The owner of
the demolition company that razed
the Hotel Sterling in four days was
killed Monday when the steeple of
St. Marys of Czestochowa Church
toppled onto an excavator he was
operating to demolish the former
church on Shoemaker Street.
The collapse happened at about
11:40 a.m. when most of the church
had been brought down and only the
steeple was left standing.
John P. Brdaric Jr., 60, owner
of Brdaric Excavating and Buck
Mountain Quarry in Swoyersville,
was in an excavator on top of what
remained of the church when the
steeple fell.
Witnesses said the steeple
swayed and wiggled before it fell
onto the excavator.
About 12 to 15 crew members
from Brdarics companies rushed to
the mangled excavator that was cov-
ered with bricks and stone.
They were cursing, yelling
Hurry up, hurry up, said Ted
Klem of Swoyersville. They were
cutting metal, using a gas cutter to
get at him.
Emergency crews from
Swoyersville and Forty Fort
removed Brdaric from the excava-
tors crushed cab. He was rushed to
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center in Plains Township, where
he was pronounced dead, according
to the Luzerne County Coroners
Ofce.
No problems early on
Demolition of the church began
just after 7 a.m. Monday.
A large crane did most of the
work, turning the church built in
1911 into a large pile of rubble. The
crane removed the cross and dome
from the top of the steeple before
the job was turned over to two exca-
vators to nish the job.
Klem, who was baptized and
served as an altar boy at the church,
and Glen Galion, of Jim Thorpe,
said it appeared Brdaric was using

Ofcials: Group better
prepared for disasters
WILKES-BARRE A coalition of organi-
zations that coordinated local disaster recov-
ery in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee two years ago accom-
plished some major feats and is now better
prepared to address local disasters in the
future, according to ofcials.
The Disaster Recovery Coalition of
Luzerne County hosted a reception and pre-
sentation Monday at the county Emergency
Management Agency building to recap what
the organization has done since the record
ooding that devastated several communities
along the Susquehanna River in September
2011, and explain how it has prepared for the
future.
Mike Zimmerman, chief executive ofcer
of Family Service Association of NEPA, said
volunteers with the coalitions approximately
30 member organizations donated 15,882 vol-
unteer hours valued at more than $336,000
(based on a rate of $20.51 per hour) to assist
ood survivors on their road to recovery.
Agencies such as the American Red Cross,
Salvation Army, United Way of Wyoming
Valley, Commission on Economic Opportunity
and the Luzerne Foundation some of the local
organizations involved that took a quick lead.

BEAR CREEK TWP.
Opinions on the situation on
state Route 115 were all over
the board when representatives
from the state elded questions
and comments at the town-
ship supervisors meeting on
Monday.
The two trafc engineers from
the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation were at the
meeting at the request of resi-
dents who feel that changes
made in response to safety con-
cerns after the highway was the
scene of multiple fatal accidents
in a short time several years ago
went too far.
In particular, residents have
complained that the elimination
of the passing lane along most
of the highway has resulted in
trafc tie ups and illegal pass-
ing when large trucks and other
slow-moving vehicles are trav-
elling below the 45 mph speed
limit.
The PennDOT representa-
tives said that while the acci-
dents involving a vehicle hitting
a xed object like a pole havent
decreased since the changes
were completed in July 2010,
the number of crashes involv-
ing two or more vehicles have
decreased, something they
attributed to the addition of
left-turn lanes and the increased
distance between opposing traf-
c.
Resident Rosemary Mulligan
agreed, and said that even when
shes stuck behind a slow-mov-
ing truck, her main thought is,
At least Im safe.
Supervisor Jim Smith, who
lives along the state highway,
said he approves of the changes
and feels they make the road
much safer. But while others
agreed the changes improved
the safety concerns they were
intended to address, some said
they were overkill while oth-
ers sought a middle ground
between the way things were
and the way they are now.
I think you created some
unintended consequences with
the changes, said Supervisor
Jeff Popple, referring to the
stopped trafc and illegal pass-
ing resulting from the slow-
moving trafc. He called the
changes regressive in light
of the increased trafc volume
because of the casino and com-
merce.
Popple and others called for
PennDOT to rethink the high-
way situation and consider
other options.
The PennDOT representa-
tives asked the supervisors
to make a written request for
review of the Route 115 situa-
tion.

WILKES-BARRETwo menwere arrested
after police witnessed an alleged narcotics trans-
action in the parking lot of a local grocery store.
State police in Wyoming said James
Featherstone, 33, of Academy Street, Wilkes-
Barre, and Jeremy Valcarcel, 22, of Pettebone
Street, Forty Fort, were observed in a narcotics
transaction at about 2 p.m. in the parking lot of
Schiels Market on George Avenue.
The men were charged with possession with
intent to deliver a controlled substance, posses-
sion of a controlled substance, resisting arrest,
conspiracy and possession of drug parapherna-
lia. Police said they seized money, crack cocaine,
heroin and marijuana.
Members of the state police Troop P Vice/
Narcotics Unit and the Wilkes-Barre Police
Departments Anti-Crime Unit conducted the
investigation.
WILKES-BARRE TWP. Township police
are investigating the robbery of the Turkey Hill
Minit Market at 340 Wilkes-Barre Township
Boulevard early Saturday morning.
Police said a black male, about 5 feet, 11 inch-
es tall and weighing 195 pounds ed with the
cash drawer at about 1:30 a.m. He was wearing
a black hooded sweatshirt and a white mask on
his face. No weapon was displayed and no one
was injured. Anyone with information should

A three-judge panel of the state
Superior Court has ruled that the law
rm run by Attorney Robert Powell, a
key gure in the scandal that sent two
Luzerne County judges to jail on cor-
ruption charges, must pay more that
$6 million in loans and attorney fees in
defaulted loans and attorney fees owed
for two businesses Powell ran.
In three separately but similarly word-
ed opinions penned by Senior Judge
Robert E. Colville, the panel unanimous-
ly rejected appeals by the Powell Law
Group regarding a lower court decision
about the loans, which included a 2003
loan to his rm Big Kahuna totaling
$1.35 million, a 2004 loan to Big Kahuna
for $225,000, and a 2005 loan to his
development company, W-Cat, initially
for $2.5 million by extended with two
separate $1 million lines of credit.
Powells rm had contended the attor-
ney fees, totaling $635,743 for the three
loans, were excessive and the loan
documents lacked proper signatures and
initials. Colvilles opinion called the the
appeals poorly crafted arguments.
Powell was co-owner of two private
juvenile detention and treatment centers
at the heart of the scandal that brought
down former county judges Michael
Conahan and Mark Ciavarella, both cur-
rently serving long prison sentences.
During Ciavarellas trial, Powell testied
the two judges essentially strong-armed
him into making recurring payments in
exchange for them assuring juveniles
deemed delinquent in county court
would be sent to the facilities.
The scandal became known as kids
for cash, a label Ciavarella has relent-
lessly rejected, insisting that, while he
did get money from Powell and facility
builder Robert Mericle, it was not in
exchange for sending youths to the facili-
ties.
Powell was sentenced to 18 months in
prison after pleading guilty in July 2009
to charges of failing to report a crime
related to those payments.

NAACP preps committee for CEOsearch
BRETT ZONGKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Leaders
of the nations largest civil
rights group pledged to con-
tinue ghting for voting rights,
health care, a higher minimum
wage and immigration reform,
even as the NAACP begins
searching for a new president
and CEO.
After suffering turbulent
leadership changes and scan-
dals in the past, NAACP board
members said the 104-year-
old group is poised for a
smooth transition this time as
it seeks to replace outgoing
President Benjamin Jealous.
He announced on Sunday that
he would step down at the end
of the year.
Chairwoman Roslyn Brock
said the board is disappoint-
ed Jealous is leaving after
ve years but that the group
remains energized on issues
nationwide.
The NAACP is alive, and
its well, Brock said. We have
a strategic plan in place that
will help guide our work for
the next 50 years.
Brock said the NAACPs
board is forming a search com-
mittee to nd someone to suc-
ceed Jealous.
Former NAACP Chairman
Julian Bond said there had
been no indication at the
boards last meeting in July
that Jealous would leave, but
he added that leading the orga-
nization is an extremely dif-
cult job.
Weve had our ups and
downs over the years, but
weve had a wonderful, won-
derful steward for the past ve
years and hes brought an enor-
mous amount of energy to the
NAACP, Bond said. Were
going to be much poorer with-
out him.
In a written statement to
The Associated Press, Jealous
vowed the transition to a new
leader would be orderly and
planned. Their success will be
my success, he said.
When he was hired for the
job in 2008, Jealous became
the groups youngest-ever
leader at the age of 35. The
job is unique in its intensity,
Jealous said Monday, because
you commit to work 24/7/365
and spend half your year on
an airplane and every minute
working to advance the cause
of civil and human rights.
Under Jealous, the group
worked to abolish death
penalty laws in at least four
states, opposed stop-and-
frisk police tactics and stand-
your-ground laws following
the death of Florida teenager
Trayvon Martin and embraced
gay rights in a historic 2012
vote to support same-sex mar-
riage rights.
Donations have increased
from $23 million in 2007
the year before Jealous was
hired to $46 million in 2012,
he said. The group also said its
donors have increased from
16,000 people giving each year
to more than 132,000.
Jealous said he had been
increasingly wrestling with the
need to spend more time with
his family. Several years ago,
he told his daughter that he
needed ve years to do impor-
tant work at the NAACP.

One man shot, another assaulted in West Hazleton
WEST HAZLETON One man
was shot and another assaulted early
Monday morning at a home on East
Broad Street.
Borough police were dispatched
to the 200 block of East Broad Street
for multiple reports of shots fired just
before 12:30 a.m. and found Joshua L.
Crutch, 20, of West Hazleton, on the
second floor of 227 E. Broad St. with a
gunshot wound to his leg.
Police also found Leshawn Williams,
21, of West Hazleton, in the residence.
Williams had suffered lacerations and
contusions to his face, police said.
Crutch was transported to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township for treatment of non-
life-threatening injuries. Williams was
taken to Hazleton General Hospital for
evaluation and was treated and released,
according to police Chief Brian Buglio.
Witnesses told police more than 10
shots were heard being fired both inside
and outside the residence, and three
men were seen running from the house.
Buglio said the suspects reportedly
fired about four shots at the house as
they were crossing the street on their
way to a small, dark-colored vehicle.
He said a preliminary description
of the suspects described them as
Hispanic males in their 20s, with one of
them possibly wearing a black baseball
cap.
Police are reviewing video surveil-
lance footage in the area. Anyone with
information is asked to contact West
Hazleton police at 570-455-3733 or by
calling 911.
West Hazleton police were assisted
on scene by officers from the Hazleton
city and Butler Township police depart-
ments and members of the Pennsylvania
State Police Forensic Services Unit.

Lafin council tables hiring police ofcers
due to possible department elimination
GERI GIBBONS
Times Leader Correspondent
LAFLIN Monday nights Borough
Council meeting provided dozens of bor-
ough residents the opportunity to again
respond to the possibility of the elimina-
tion of the boroughs police department.
Most who showed up Monday seemed
to want to keep the borough police pres-
ence as is.
Borough Council has been exploring
the disbanding the department at recent
meetings.
Many residents shared stories reect-
ing quick response times by borough
ofcers that saved lives. Some cited the
boroughs low crime rate relative to other
nearby municipalities such as Wilkes-
Barre.
As council members, you are also
residents, said Larry Brogna. You live
here and your children live here, I dont
understand how you could be willing to
put them at risk.
The issue came to the forefront when
council tabled a motion to hire two part-
time police ofcers. Several members said
they felt uncomfortable considering the
hiring of newofcers, when the fate of the
its police department was still pending.
Mayor Dorothy Shea Yazurlo said she
felt her hands had been tied by council
and she was unable to fulll the mandate
of her ofce in regard to the police depart-
ment.
Yazurlo referred to a borough ordinance
which reads, The mayor shall have full
charge and control of the chief of police
and the police force.
I havent been able to do my job, said
Yazurlo, or there would have been two
new part-time ofcers hired tonight.
She said she found relying on state
police to ll the gap in police service was
unacceptable in regard to response time
and understanding of the needs of resi-
dents.
Councilman Thomas Parry said council
members were still in the process of evalu-
ating proposals from Jenkins Township
and the city of Pittston offering police
protection at a reduced cost.
This council ran on the platform of
scal responsibility, said Parry, and we
intend to followthrough with it. With less
money available to us, we need to make
some difcult decisions.
In another matter, Tony Pirro, County
Waste, addressed council saying he would
love to win the trash collection and
recycling contract. He said the single
stream method used by the company
would save the borough money and make
it more likely residents would participate
recycling.
The borough will again be trying to gar-
ner a Local Shared Grant for 2014 (gam-
ing monies). The deadline for the grant
request is Dec. 31.
The next meeting of Borough Council
will be on Oct. 14 at 6 p.m.

Hughestown looks
for ways to reduce
speeding truck trafc
B. GARRET ROGAN
Times Leader Correspondent
HUGHESTOWN Council discussed ways
to reduce speeding truck trafc within the bor-
ough during Mondays meeting.
Ofcials plan to contact representatives from
PennDOT to add signage advising industrial
truck drivers to reduce speeds on Rock Street
due to an increase in complaints from residents
in the area about noise and possible hazards.
Rock Street is technically a state road and as
such is under the jurisdiction of the state.
Councilwoman Barbara Gatto added
Parsonage Street as another area of concern.
Similar worries about trucks also have been
expressed regarding that street during council
meetings in neighboring Pittston.
Mayor Paul Hindmarsh advised increased
monitoring of truck trafc in the borough so as
to possibly justify the hiring of a police ofcer
certied to inspect trucks that could be in viola-
tion of borough code.
In other matters, the council unanimously
approved Gattos motion to donate $100 to the
Pittston Library.
The next regular council meeting will be at
7:30 p.m. Oct. 14.
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES

Walter Mitchell said hes embrac-
ing his new temporary role as
Luzerne County controller and
hasnt been shy about respectfully
voicing his views to the administra-
tion.
This is intellectually stimulat-
ing, said Mitchell, a Bear Creek
Village resident and 36-year owner
of an insurance and nancial estate
planning rm.
One example of his approach
occurred when Don Lasoski recent-
ly resigned as sheriff lieutenant
after acknowledging he took $375
for a personal issue with plans to
repay it before anyone noticed.
Mitchell sought and obtained a
detailed explanation of the proce-
dures for removing money from this
fund and said Monday his ofce will
be issuing suggested policy addi-
tions that could prevent another
theft.
He didnt stop there.
Mitchell said he has contacted
county District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis, urging her to pursue
charges against Lasoski, who has
paid back the money and resigned.
If charges are not led, other
employees with access to county
funds will believe they can get away
with the same thing by contending
they were borrowing the money
with plans to repay it, he said.
As long as Im here, were going
to make sure that that message gets
out that any violation of the pub-
lic trust and any misuse of public
funds is absolutely unacceptable
and needs to be treated to the full-
est extent of the law, said Mitchell,
who will serve in the post until the
controller elected in November
takes ofce Jan. 3.
He said he also worked with the
administration to ensure the county
divested its ownership of the sheriff
canine handled by Lasoski. County
ofcials say two experts said the
aging dog had no nancial value,
and ownership has been transferred
to Lasoski.
My concern was as long as we
own the dog, if the dog tore some-
bodys face off, we were liable. I
didnt like our exposure as a coun-
ty, Mitchell said.
He plans to interview applicants
this week for a vacant auditor posi-
tion and is sorting through pending
and promised audits to determine
which should be completed or at
least initiated during his four-month
tenure.
Prior Controller Walter Grifth,
who resigned, potentially as part
of a plea agreement related to
pending wiretap charges against
him, told council earlier this year
his ofce planned to complete six
audits in 2013. Two were nished,
and a third was wrapped up but
not released. The remaining audits
include reviews of fuel usage and
purchasing department procedures
and controls.
The departments two employees
are working on other audits not on
this list, including one required by
the state, Mitchell said.
He also has started a list of items
that warrant correcting. His list
includes a past practice that result-
ed in at least half of the employees
receiving paychecks for time not yet
worked. Employees are paid every
two weeks, and he suggests with-
holding pay for the prospectively
paid employees with signicant
warning so they can prepare dur-
ing a month when there are three
paydays. The entire workforce
should be paid on the same sched-
ule for time already worked, he said.
He also has suggested a commit-
tee to create a fresh, comprehensive
policies and procedures manual and
said he welcomes input from county
taxpayers at 825-1629.
It is for the taxpayers that I
work, and only for them. This is not
a Republican or Democratic posi-
tion, he said.

torium at 243 Thorne Hill Road; 10:45
a.m. in the primary school cafeteria at
417 Shickshinny Lake Road; and 2 p.m.
in the intermediate school cafeteria at
20 Sunset Lake Road. A discussion for
parents will be held at a later date.
A concussion happens when the
brain moves back and forth inside
the skull. Symptoms include altered
thinking, difculty concentrating and
remembering new information, dizzi-
ness, vomiting and lack of energy, sad-
ness or irritability and more sleep than
usual or trouble falling asleep.
Special-education teacher Jennifer
Oiler is helping to coordinate the event
and said its important for parents to
know the signs of a concussion, espe-
cially during sports seasons. Quick
response to a head injury could mean
faster recovery time.

Luzerne County Judge Joseph
Sklarosky Jr. likened the forg-
ery and harassment case of
Theresa Gordon Isabella to
the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde.
Isabella, 76, had been a
nurse for years, raised a son
and has been a community
advocate, witnesses testied
Monday.
Shes also been convicted
of 29 charges on allegations
she sent unwanted mail to her
neighbor and his family.
Sklarosky sentenced
Isabella, formerly of Sugarloaf
and now living in Florida,
to seven years probation on
Monday.
Her case, Sklarosky said,
included some of the most
nasty, vindictive and despi-
cable conduct hes ever seen.
This is a bizarre case, the
judge said. It has a Jekyll and
Hyde quality.
In August 2008, Sugarloaf
police began receiving com-
plaints from James and
Heather Yurick about their
neighbor, Isabella, on Prospect
Park Road. The complaints
spanned a number of years.
The couple told police
Isabella would walk her large
German Shepherd in front of
their son, bend over and slap
her buttocks in a mooning
fashion, place feces on their
property, throw walnuts at
their home and display her
middle nger.
The Yuricks also began
receiving anonymous mail in
the form of subscriptions, let-
ters and literature.
Police said Heather Yuricks
parents also began receiv-
ing unwanted mail, as did
another neighbor in the com-
munity. Heather Yurick died
in October 2011 after a battle
with cancer.
Isabella was originally
charged in August 2011 and
was hit with additional charg-
es in November 2012 after
the Yuricks and several others
received additional unwanted
mail. Handwriting samples
pegged Isabella as the sender.
Isabella denies the allega-
tions. Even though I have
been found guilty of these
charges, I am innocent, she
said.
James Yurick said Monday
that Isabellas actions caused
lost time between his wife and
three children time wasted
on Isabella.
Yurick called Isabellas
actions pure evil and heart-
less, noting that at one point,
after his wife lost her hair dur-
ing a sickness, Isabella began
mailing wig magazines.
Sklarosky said that if
Isabella violates her probation
even once, he would jail her.
I have no patience for
violations, Sklarosky warned.
The judge ordered her to
pay several hundred dollars
in nes and almost $15,000 in
restitution costs.
Isabella must also undergo
a mental-health evaluation and
follow recommended treat-
ment.

WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County jury was
selected Monday to hear
the trial of a man accused
of attacking a teen with a
machete outside GAR High
School in February 2012.
A jury of nine men and
five women, which includes
two alternates, was selected
Monday afternoon to hear
the case of Juan Borbon, 21,
with no last known address,
who faces seven charges
stemming from the attack
that nearly

J o s e p h
Sklarosky Jr. said assistant
district attorneys Alexis
Falvello and Mamie Phillips
and Borbons attorney, Paul
Galante, will present their
opening statements this
morning before testimony
begins.
Before jury selection began
Monday, prosecutors told
Sklarosky that one of their
witnesses 18-year-old
Yansy Abreu did not abide
by a subpoena and appear
at the courthouse Monday
morning.
Falvello said investigators
had to go pick up Abreu and
bring him to the courthouse,
where Sklarosky warned him
he could be charged if he
does not appear as the sub-
poena requires.
Prosecutors say Borbon
pulled the machete from
Abreus backpack just before
the attack.
Falvello said Abreu is rep-
resented by attorney Cheryl
Sobeski-Reedy and he is
under supervision with the
countys juvenile probation
department.
Phillips said that if Abreu
fails to show for court again,
the next step would be to
make him a material witness
a process that puts a wit-
ness on bail to ensure appear-
ances in court.
Falvello said prosecutors
expect to call ve witnesses
during the trial, which could
last until Thursday.
Wilkes-Barre police allege
Borbon was involved in a
ght in which he swung the
machete and nearly severed
Allens hand.
Allen testied at a prelimi-
nary hearing last year that he
was helping a black student
who was jumped by a group
after classes had ended for
the day.
The ght occurred off
school grounds on South
Grant and Lehigh streets.
Abreu previously testi-
ed the planned ght was
between students of African-
American and Dominican
heritages.
Borbon is jailed at the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility.

Pa. hospital systems
consider afliation
Two hospital systems in
Pennsylvania said Monday they are
examining whether there are ways
they can work together, a process
thats beginning with a letter of intent.
Geisinger Health System of Danville
and Holy Spirit Health System in
Camp Hill said in announcing the deal
that the approval process was expected
to take at least six months.
Geisinger has about 19,000 employ-
ees and serves 44 counties in central

Holy Spirit runs 315-bed Holy Spirit
Hospital in Camp Hill. Its health sys-
tem has more than 2,900 employees
and some 500 physicians.

George Zimmermans estranged wife

Shellie Zimmerman called police

Zimmerman hasnt been arrested

said.
Shellie Zimmerman in a divorce

Kurdish rebels halt
withdrawal from Turkey
Kurdish rebels announced Monday
they are suspending their withdrawal
from Turkey into bases in northern
Iraq over what they say is the Turkish
governments failure to advance peace
talks aimed at ending a nearly 30-year-
old conict.
The Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK,
declared a cease-re in March and began
withdrawing ghters from Turkey in
May as part of the peace efforts. Turkey
in turn was expected to enact reforms to
improve Kurdish rights.
But a statement from the PKK, car-
ried by the pro-Kurdish Firat news
agency, accused Turkey of failing to
honor its side of the bargain and called
on it to take steps toward democ-
ratization and the resolution of the
Kurdish problem. The group said the
cease-re would stand.

CHICAGO With the pro-
gram known as Obamacare
only weeks away from its key
launch date, hectic prepara-
tions are in motion in com-
munities across the country
to deal with one of its major
practical challenges: hiring
and training a small army
of instant experts who can
explain the intricacies of
health insurance to people
whove never had it.
More than 100 nonprots
and related organizations,
which specialize in everything
from running soup kitchens to
organizing farm workers, have
been recruited by the federal
government to sign up navi-
gators to help the 30 million
uninsured people who can
now gain coverage.
Many of the groups have
little expertise in health insur-
ance. And the timeline for
training the workers is tight.
According to the new health
law, people can begin shop-
ping among the new policies
on Oct. 1. The enrollment
period lasts six months.
Coverage begins in January.
I think theres a lot of con-
cern about whether, with all
these state requirements, they
are goingtobe ready togo, said
Katie Keith, a former research
professor at Georgetown
University, who has been track-
ing the heath care legislation.
You want people out there edu-
cating consumers.
Deploying the guides for the
uninsured is one of the rst
hurdles for the new health
system as it transitions from
an abstract political debate
in Washington to a real-life
process in communities. It
is one of the steps govern-
ment ofcials are concerned
about as critics warn that the
Affordable Care Act could
become a train wreck.
The guides will be sent to
community events with lap-
tops to help people sign up
for insurance online. They
will work at food banks, shel-
ters, churches and free clinics
where the uninsured are likely
to be.
The short time available for
training raises questions about
how prepared the workers will
be to answer peoples ques-
tions about the different poli-
cies and government subsidies
available. Community groups
received the course materi-
als for the 20-hour training
only days ago. Many have just
begun to post the openings on
job boards.
A small scream came from
Tara McCollum Plese when
she was asked whether her
group, Arizona Alliance for
Community Health Centers,
has hired any of the 45 workers
authorized in its federal grant.
Ack! No, she said Thursday.
Her group has posted a job
description, she said, and is
now ooded with inquiries for
the positions, which pay about
$15 an hour. Shes since heard
one worker has been hired.
Not one navigator has been
hired yet under the $2 million
grant obtained by the Ohio
Association of Foodbanks.
The Illinois Eye Institute,
which will help with enroll-
ment in the Chicago area,
plans to train a dozen staffers
for the task.

ISLAMABAD Pakistani
political leaders Monday endorsed
government efforts to negotiate
with militants in the tribal regions
while distancing themselves from
a war that they portrayed as being
foisted on them by the U.S. inva-
sion of Afghanistan.
Pakistan has been battling mili-
tants in the northeastern part of
the country for years who do not
recognize the authority of the gov-
ernment.
Thousands of civilians and mem-
bers of the security forces have
been killed in bombings and shoot-
ings carried out by the militants
but the war has been unpopular
with many in the country who
see it as a battle against their own
people at the behest of the U.S. and
Afghanistan.
The announcement came after
a meeting of politicians from
the major political parties at the
prime ministers residence to
discuss the countrys precarious
security situation. The meeting
was also attended by the head of
the Pakistani army, Gen. Ashfaq
Parvez Kayani, and the head of
the Inter-Services Intelligence, the
countrys spy agency.
In a statement after the meet-
ing, the political leaders called
upon the government to initiate
dialogue with all the stakeholders
and authorize the government to
do what was necessary to bring
about negotiations.
We declare that we shall our-
selves determine the means and
mode of ghting this war in our
national interest and shall not be
guided by the United States of
America or any other country in
this regard, the statement said.
The statement also condemned
the U.S.s use of drones in the trib-
al region to kill militants.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
came into ofce in June saying he
supported talks instead of military
operations to bring about peace.
Mondays announcement gives
him the political backing he want-
ed to try to negotiate with the
militants.
Previously the Pakistani Taliban,
the main militant group ghting
in the tribal regions, had rejected
Sharifs talk of negotiations. But a
spokesman for the group Monday
welcomed the announcement.
It is for the rst time that the
government has shown serious-
ness, said Shahidullah Shahid.
He said the executive council of
the group would meet in the next
few days to discuss the announce-
ment and will issue a response
then.
Critics of talking with the
Taliban point out that militants
and the government have come
to numerous agreements over
the years only to see the militants
break their end of the deal. Many
accuse the militants of using the
negotiations as a way to buy time
while they consolidate their power.
The U.S. and Afghanistan insist
that clearing the tribal regions of
safe havens for militants is key to
securing peace in Afghanistan, but
the statement distanced Pakistan
from ownership of the military
campaign. It blamed the thou-
sands of deaths in part on blow-
back from actions of NATO/ISAF
forces in Afghanistan.
The announcement came the
same day that newly-elected
President Mamnoon Hussain was
sworn into ofce in a ceremony at
the presidential palace.

Former NBA player Dennis Rodman speaks to the media during a news conference in New York on
Monday.
BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK Dennis Rodman is
going back to North Korea, and bringing
a team of former NBA players with him.
Days after returning from his second
trip to visit Kim Jong Un in which
he said he became the rst foreigner
to hold the leaders newborn daughter
Rodman announced plans Monday
to stage two exhibition games in North
Korea in January.
The rst will be Jan. 8 Kims birth-
day with another to follow two days
later.
Rodmans friendship with the auto-
cratic leader has been criticized and
led to a couple of testy exchanges dur-
ing his Manhattan news conference. But
Rodman insists Kim is a good person,
wants to have better relations with the
United States and that hes the one who
can help make it happen with his plan for
basketball diplomacy.
Why North Korea? Itll open doors,
Rodman said.
Touting his friendship with Kim and
taunting President Barack Obama for
not talking to him, Rodman said he will
go back to North Korea for a week in
December to help select local players for
the game. He hopes to have stars such
as former Chicago teammate Scottie
Pippen and Karl Malone.
Michael Jordan, he wont do it,
because hes Michael Jordan, Rodman
said.
Rodman, holding a cigar and wear-
ing the shirt of a vodka company and a
hat of a betting company that is funding
the event, said Kim has asked him to
train his players to compete in the 2016
Olympics and offered to allow the Hall of
Famer to write a book about him.
Though looking like a billboard,
Rodman said hes not doing the event
for money. He said the Irish betting com-
pany Paddy Power would put up $3.5
million. Power later said nances hadnt
been determined.
And Rodman, who joked that he hadnt
drawn such a crowd in NewYork since he
wore a wedding dress to a book signing,
was adamant that this venture was seri-
ous groundbreaking, in Rodmans
words.
People think this is a gimmick. I
would love to make this a gimmick but
its not about the money, he said.
He rarely referred to Kim by name,
frequently calling him the marshal.
Rodman rst met Kim, a basketball
fan, when traveling to North Korea in
February for a lm project.
Though saying he didnt want to dis-
cuss politics, Rodman raised his voice
when answering a questioner about
Kims human rights record and por-
trayed himself as the person who could
make outsiders see the young leader as
different than his father and grandfather.
He has to do his job but hes a very
good guy, Rodman said.
If he wanted to bomb anybody in the
world, he would have done it.
Instead, Rodman had harder words
for Obama, whom he spoke angrily of
while talking to reporters last week
after his trip. He talked around a
question about American citizen and
Christian missionary Kenneth Bae,
who was arrested in November and sen-
tenced to 15 years of hard labor for what
Pyongyang described as hostile acts
against the state. Kim has the power to
grant special pardons under the Norths
constitution.
Rodman said lobbying for the release
of a prisoner wasnt his job, blaming the
president for not reaching out to ease
tensions between the countries.

Cody Park exhales a cloud of marijuana smoke after taking a hit on a bong at the first day of Hempfest in Seattle. The three-day marijuana
festival is part party, part protest and part victory celebration after the legalization of pot in Washington and Colorado last fall.
Associated Press
DENVER Hundreds of
people lined up in Denver
for a free marijuana cigarette
Monday as part of a protest
against a ballot proposal that
would impose high taxes on
the drug, which is now legal
in Colorado for recreational
use.
The measure on the
November ballot asks
Colorado voters to approve
a 15 percent excise tax plus
a 10 percent statewide sales
tax on all retail marijuana
purchases.
The marijuana was donat-
ed by a local attorney who
got it as part of a legal settle-
ment after authorities deter-
mined it was seized illegally,
according to Larisa Bolivar,
campaign manager for oppo-
nents of the ballot measure.
Littletree Oppy wore a
fake nurse cap while she
handed out the cigarettes
at Civic Center Park for
the campaign. She said she
opposes the proposed taxes
because people who cant
afford to pay would be forced
to go to the black market.
People waiting in line for
the free pot shouted We
want weed! as the supply
dwindled.
Gulf War veteran Randy
Notz said he suffers from
a traumatic brain injury
and qualies for marijuana
under Colorados medical
marijuana law. He said he
showed up and got a single
marijuana cigarette to show
his support for the campaign
to defeat the ballot measure
that would impose high
taxes.
I paid for two hours of
parking and stood in line for
one joint because Ive been
campaigning for this right
for a long time, Notz said.

WILKES-BARRE
John Halligan said his
rst presentation Monday
at Hazleton Area High
School really hit home
with many students.
Scheduling conicts
necessitated changes in
some appearance dates
that were published last
week.
Halligan, a nationally
known speaker, talked to
students,
t e a c h e r
and par-
ents about
his son,
Ryan, who
c o mmi t -
ted suicide
in 2003.
Halligan
will be in Luzerne County
for three weeks, speak-
ing to students at 16 high
schools and to several
adult audiences. The pro-
gram, called Bullying and
Suicide Prevention, will
include presentations in
the evenings for parents
and the public.
The program was
conceived by county
District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis, who said the
program is costly, but
no taxpayers dollars are
being used.
Id say the reaction
today was wonderful;
the students were very
engaged, Halligan, 50,
said Monday. Judging
from their comments after-
ward, I would say I got
through to a lot of them.
Halligan said the stu-
dents told him that the
story of his son paralleled
some of the students.
A few kids came up to
me and whispered that
Ryans story was their
story, he said. The dif-
ference was they are still
here.
Halligan said hearing
Ryans story gave the stu-
dents a different perspec-
tive on life.
They realized that
there are many people in
their world who care about
them and love them,
Halligan said. Sometimes
they get so caught up in
their own world that they
lose sight of those around
them who truly care.
Salavantis said she found
the presentation very mov-
ing.
I dont think there was
a dry eye in the house, she
said.
Salavantis said Halligan
gained much wisdom from
his experience with his
son, who endured the tor-
ment and ridicule associ-
ated with bullying before
taking his own life.
After losing their son,
Halligan and his family
made it their lifes mission
to educate others on bully-
ing and to help encourage
victims of bullying to seek
assistance. More informa-
tion about Halligan and his
sons story can be found at
the website www.ryanpat-
rickhalligan.org.
Salavantis said the
program is paid for with
funding secured through
various investigations that
is earmarked for commu-
nity programs. Several
donations from several
corporate partners, such
as Mohegan Sun, Blue
Cross of Northeastern
Pennsylvania, Wilkes-
Barre Law & Library
Association and others
also helped pay for the
three-week program.
Halligan said he visits
about 200 high schools
every year to speak to
students and parents.
According to the Luzerne
County Coroners Ofce,
there were ve teen sui-
cides in the county in
2012, three in 2011 and
two in 2010.

Gogh my! Painting the real deal
AP photo
Van Gogh Museum director Axel Rueger, left, and senior researcher Louis van Tilborgh, right, unveil Sunset at Montmajour, a long-lost painting by Dutch artist
Vincent Van Gogh. The discovery is the first full-size canvas that has been found since 1928. The painting sat in a Norwegian industrialists attic for six decades after
he was told it was a fake. Experts at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam authenticated the 1888 landscape with the help of Vincent Van Goghs letters, chemical
analysis of the pigments and X-rays of the canvas.

WILKES-BARRE An
argument among drunken
co-workers
about who
was going to
drive a truck
resulted in
one of them
g e t t i n g
struck and
the other
d r i v i n g
away early Monday morn-
ing, according to charges
led.
City police charged
Patrick R. Ramirez, 25,
of Blue Spring, Mo., with
intentionally striking Shane
Stewart, of Missouri, in the
parking lot of McDonalds
on Kidder Street at 12:40
a.m.
Witnesses allegedly told
police Ramirez and Stewart
were arguing about who
was going to drive a truck
with a Missouri license
plate when the accident hap-
pened. Ramirez accelerated
the truck and hit Stewart,
got out and looked at his co-
worker on the ground. He
then drove away, police said
in the criminal complaint.
Police captured Ramirez
at the Host Inn on Kidder
Street, where the two men
were staying.
Police said Ramirez and
Stewart are employees of a
company constructing the
hotel at Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs casino in
Plains Township.
Ramirez was arraigned by
District Judge Martin Kane
in Wilkes-Barre on charges
of aggravatedassault byvehi-
cle, aggravated assault while

driving under the inuence,
accidents involving injury
and careless driving. He was
jailed at the Luzerne County

of $50,000 bail.
Police said Ramirez
refused to submit to a blood/
alcohol test at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical
Center.
Arrest papers say Stewart
was taken to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley where he
was listed in critical condi-
tion Monday afternoon.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Sept. 19.

New manager takes over power line project
JoN ocoNNell
joconnell@timesleader.com
With about 30 miles
remaining of the 101-mile
power line project under-
way by PPL, the electric
utility company will change
the company managing
the Susquehanna-Roseland
lines construction.
In 2012, PPL contracted
T&D Power Inc., a manage-
ment company with roots in
Mesa, Ariz., to oversee the
project. On Friday it was
announced PAR Electrical
Contractors LLC of Kansas
City, Mo., is taking over.
PAR has already completed
portions of the line and is
now coming on board to
oversee production in its
entirety, said PPL Electric
Utilities spokesman Paul
Wirth.
Wirth did not explain
the reason for the change
and called it a transition of
management companies.
That was a business
decision that we are not dis-
cussing, Wirth said.
Representatives from
T&D Powers ofce in
Clarks Summit declined
comment and spokesmen
from EC Source, T&Ds par-
ent company, did not imme-
diately return calls Monday.
The project will upgrade
the northeast power grid
fromBerwick, norththrough
Lackawanna County, across
through Wayne County and
then south to end near the
Delaware Water Gap. PPL
promises the new line will
bring more reliable service
and lower distribution rates
for some who live near it.
PPL determined in 2008
that blackouts were soon
to be inevitable without the
grid upgrade.
Overall, the project is to
cost about $1.2billion. PPLs
share on the Pennsylvania
side is about $630 million.
Public Service Electric &
Gas is paying for the last leg
from where it crosses the
eastern state line to where it
ends in Roseland, N.J.
Of the roughly 200
employees hired by T&D,
International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers Local
1319 President David
Blauer said, a majority of
themwere hiredthrough the
electricians union, though
he could not immediately
provide an exact number. To
his knowledge, most, if not
all, of the workers are to stay
on working through PAR.
There are some other
people on the job that are
from other parts of the
country. The company
might bring them on for
some specic skill that they
might have. But all work-
ers went through the Local
1319, Blauer said.
Wirth said PPL is
encouraging the new proj-
ect manager to retain the
seasonal workers to see the
job through to completion.
The power line is
complete from PPLs
Susquehanna Nuclear
Power Plant in Salem
Township through
Scranton. Workers are now
forging toward the Lake
Wallenpaupack region.
Despite the change of
hands in management, the
project is on target to meet
its spring 2015 deadline, in
time to meet elevated elec-
tricity demands common in
the summer, Wirth said.
Gothic kitten case back in court
SHeeNA DelAZio
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A
Sweet Valley woman just
days away from completing
a sentence relating to
piercing the ears of
kittens and market-
ing them as Gothic
kittens will serve 90
more days on pro-
bation, a judge said
Monday.
Holly Crawford,
38, of Dobson Road,
appeared in Luzerne
County Court on allegations
she violated the terms of her
probation by ling to show
up for three meetings with
probation ofcers.
Crawford was convicted
by a jury of cruelty to ani-
mals for piercing the kit-
tens ears and docking their
tails in April 2010 and later
sentenced to one year in
the countys Intermediate
P u n i s h m e n t
Program.
Crawfords sen-
tence had been
extended due to
previous viola-
tions, including
testing positive
for marijuana
and alcohol. As
part of her new sentence,
Crawford was to complete a
program at the countys Day
Reporting Center, where
she was scheduled for meet-
ings.
On Monday, Crawford
said she didnt show up
for three meetings in early
August because she had car
trouble.
She tried to have the
issues resolved, she said,
but could not make it to
her meetings the last
three before her sentence
was complete. She said
she didnt have access to
another vehicle and she has
been suffering from serious
health issues.
Assistant District
Attorney Matt Muchler
said he was concerned with
Crawfords actions, noting
it was suspicious the car
troubles arouse during the
last few days of her sen-
tence.
I think shes getting
lazy and didnt want to show
up, Muchler said.
Crawfords attorney,
Jonathan Blum, said his cli-
ent is eager to nish her sen-
tence and wants to put the
past three years behind her.
Judge Tina Polachek
Gartley said she was con-
cerned about future trans-
portation problems and
wondered why Crawford
didnt just nish out her sen-
tence.
This needs to be n-
ished, Polachek Gartley
said. The only one who can
nish it is you.
Polachek Gartley gave
Crawford an additional 90
days probation to be served
with the Day Reporting
Center.
Historical train ride to
beneft three facilities
Bill oBoYle

PITTSTON You can
travel one of the oldest rail
routes in the country and
help three charities while
enjoying the scenic train
ride from Duryea to Jim
Thorpe on Sunday.
The fourth annual Greater
Pittston Charity Train Ride
will be departing at 9 a.m.
on Stevenson Street in
Duryea and chugging to his-
toric Jim Thorpe in Carbon
County. Cost is $65 and tick-
ets are still available.
The train is made up of
1920s-era open coaches
pulled by a 1920s-era steam
locomotive owned by the
Reading Blue Mountain &
Northern Railroad Co., Port
Clinton.
This years Greater
Pittston Charity Train Ride
will benet the Pittston
Memorial Library, Greater
PittstonYMCAandtheCare
and Concern Free Health
Clinic, also in Pittston.
Gloria Blandina, spokes-
woman for the event, said
the train can accommodate
600 people and the event is
usually sold out. She said a
diesel engine has been used
in past events, but this year
the steam locomotive will
pull the cars, adding to the
historical feel of the trip.
Our conductor tells you
the history of every town
along the way when
it was founded, the main
occupations, and more,
Blandina said. We travel
through White Haven,
Laura Run, Crestwood,
Penobscot Mountain and
the Lehigh Gorge. Whats
really neat is the number
of people who come out
to wave as the train passes
through these areas. The
train still commands grand
attention.
Blandina said the event
usually raises around
$15,000 and the money will
be evenly split among this
years three recipients.
With 600 people on the
train, everybody seems to
know somebody traveling
with them, she said.
The train will roll straight
through to Jim Thorpe,
where passengers can get
out and walk through the
shops and see the sights,
such as the Jim Thorpe
Monument. She said the
stop in Jim Thorpe is about
four hours before the train
departs for home.

Mass. GOP calls for
repeal of sofware tax
Republican lawmakers and business
groups ramped up pressure Monday on
the Legislature to abolish a new sales
tax on computer and software services.
Rep. Brad Jones, minority leader of
the Massachusetts House, and Sen.
Bruce Tarr, the minority leader in the
Senate, led a bill to eliminate the 6.25
percent tax that took effect July 31 as
part of a massive transportation nanc-
ing law.
The tax has drawn sharp criticism
from technology companies that con-
tend it will hurt a critical sector of the
states economy.
Meanwhile, the Massachusetts
Taxpayers Foundation, which also
opposes the tax, released a new analy-
sis Monday that the business-backed
organization said supports its asser-
tion that Massachusetts now imposes
the highest tax in the nation on soft-
ware services.
According to the study, only four
other states, Connecticut, Hawaii, New
Mexico and South Dakota, tax com-
puter system design and all do so at a
lower rate than Massachusetts.

APTechnology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO Apple
is expected to unveil its latest
take on the iPhone today dur-
ing an annual ritual that will
probably cast a spotlight on
the gadget makers drive to
regain market share and its
sluggish pace of innovation.
In keeping with its tight-
lipped ways, Apple Inc. hasnt
disclosed whats on the agen-
da for the coming-out party
scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
PDT at its Cupertino, Calif.,
headquarters.
But this is the time of year
that Apple typically shows
off the latest generation of
its iPhone, a device that has
reshaped the way people use
computers since its debut in
2007. Apple took the wraps
off the iPhone 5, the current
model, last September. The
company has never waited
longer than a year to update
the iPhone, which has gener-
ated $88 billion in revenue
during the past year.
Apples timetable for rolling
out products has vexed many
investors who have watched
the companys growth slow
and prot margins decrease.
Meanwhile, a bevy of smart-
phone makers, most of whom
rely on Google Inc.s free
Android software, release
wave after wave of devices
that cost less than the iPhone.
Those concerns are reected
in Apples stock price, which
has declined nearly 30 per-
cent since peaking at $705.07
at about the same time the
iPhone 5 went on sale last year.
The Standard & Poors 500
index has risen about 14 per-
cent during the same stretch.
Even though Apples market
value of roughly $460 billion is
more than any other company
in the world, the deterioration
in its stock price is escalat-
ing the pressure on CEO Tim
Cook to prove hes the right
leader to carry on the legacy of
co-founder Steve Jobs. Since
Cook became CEO two years
ago, Apple has only pushed
out new versions of products
developed under Jobs, rais-
ing questions about whether
the companys technological
vision has become blurred
under the new regime.
In public appearances, Cook
has repeatedly said Apple is
working on some exciting
breakthroughs without reveal-
ing details. The company is
believed to be working on
a so-called smartwatch
that would work like a wrist-
bound smartphone. Samsung
Electronics, one of Apples big-
gest rivals, introduced its own
$300 smartwatch called Gear
last week, as did Sony and
Qualcomm Inc. Its unclear
whether a smartwatch will be
on Apples Tuesday agenda.
The company isnt expected
to reveal the latest model of
its tablet computer, the iPad,
until later in the fall. Apple
introduced a smaller, less
expensive version of the iPad
last year in response to the
success of more compact and
cheaper tablets running on the
Android system.
Apple expected to expand iPhone selection
RYAN NAKASHIMA
AP Business Writer
Microsoft is making its
Xbox Music streaming service
available for free on the Web
even to those who dont use
Windows 8.
The expansion beyond
Windows 8 devices and
Xbox game consoles start-
ing Monday is intended to
bring new customers into the
software giants ecosystem of
devices and services, and could
help it compete with other
digital music offerings such as
Pandora, Spotify and iTunes.
Its also an acknowledgement
that the music service hasnt
done much to drive sales of the
Windows 8 operating system.
The move represents anoth-
er step toward Microsofts
goal of becoming a company
that sells devices and services,
rather than primarily software,
said Michael Turits, an analyst
with nancial advisory rm
Raymond James. It comes
on the heels of Microsoft
announcing it would buy the
mobile phone handset manu-
facturing business of Nokia
Corp. for $7.2 billion and that
CEO Steve Ballmer would
step down within 12 months.
Theyve said theyre going
to be a devices and services
company. We know they want
to be a device company since
theyre buying the Nokia phone
division, he said. This kind of
thing gives more credibility to
the idea theyll be more of a
services company as well.
Most buyers of the new
Windows 8 operating sys-
tem discovered Xbox Music
because its the default player
for music les that people
have imported from else-
where, according to Xbox
Music general manager Jerry
Johnson. Opening it up to
the broader public would give
more people a chance to see
the benets of having multiple
devices linked to Microsofts
platform. Its music service,
for example, will save favor-
ites and playlists across PCs,
Windows Phones and Xbox
game consoles.
To actually build that eco-
system, we need to bring peo-
ple into it, Johnson said.
Xbox Music allows people
to choose from 30 million
tracks and stream them for
free with ads. The service
sells downloadable tracks that
have been kept off streaming
services by artists or labels. A
radio service on Xbox Music
also generates song playlists
automatically along genres or
similar artists.
The thinking is if new con-
sumersenjoythefreeexperience
online, some might upgrade to
pay $10 a month for the Xbox
Music Pass, which allows play-
back on mobile phones and
Microsofts game console, Xbox
360, and its upcoming version,
Xbox One. Microsoft is also
launching apps for iPhones and
Android devices that will allow
paying subscribers to access
Xbox Music. Previously, you
had to have a device running
the Windows Phone 8 operat-
ing systemto access the plan on
the go.

Research technician Kris Niemann hooks up equipment that will measure the amount of
ammonia, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases coming off a barnyard lined with
sand at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Prairie du Sac, Wis.
M.L. JOHNSON
Associated Press
PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. Cows
stand patiently in a tent-like cham-
ber at a research farm in western
Wisconsin, waiting for their breath
to be tested. Outside, corrals have
been set up with equipment to mea-
sure gas wafting from the ground. A
nearby corn eld contains tools that
allow researchers to assess the effects
of manure spread as fertilizer.
Scientists based at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison have started
a slew of studies to determine how
dairy farms can reduce their green-
house gas emissions. They will look
at what animals eat, how their waste
is handled and the effects on soil,
water and air.
Their work is part of a govern-
ment-sponsored effort to help farm-
ers adapt to more extreme weather
and reduce their impact on climate
change. The studies also will support
a dairy industry effort to make farms
more environmentally friendly, prot-
able and attractive to consumers. The
Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy is
developing a computer program that
will allow farmers to compare water
consumption, energy use and green-
house gas emissions from their farms
to the national average and learn how
improving their practices could help
their bottom line.
We like to say sustainability
makes cents c-e-n-t-s, said Erin
Fitzgerald, the centers senior vice
president for sustainability.
Environmentally speaking, the big
issue for dairy farms for decades was
manure.
Karl Klessig remembers state
agents coming to his farm in 2002
and handcufng him after an unex-
pected rain washed manure spread
several days earlier into nearby Lake
Michigan. Klessig was told that if
his family didnt immediately till the
manure into the ground, tearing up
the grass that feeds their cows, hed
soon be in jail.
It was a big loss, but it jump-start-
ed their environmental awareness,
Klessig said. The family welcomed
researchers from UW-Madison and
UW-Extension onto its property in
Cleveland, about 70 miles north of
Milwaukee, for tests that had some
unexpected results.
For example, the family had been
leaving its pastures untilled for up
to a decade to allow the grass to
build up density, feeding the cows
and reducing erosion. But scientists
found that also allowed phosphorus
to accumulate in the top layer of soil.
Klessig said his family has been able
to reduce phosphorus by tilling pas-
tures more often and growing corn,
which uses phosphorus to grow.
They also learned the farm was los-
ing hundreds of pounds of soil each
year through its drainage system and
wormholes were allowing manure to
run into those pipes. It was nerve-
racking to have researchers point out
these problems, Klessig said.

FORTYFORTAsuspect arrested by Forty Fort police
for allegedly breaking into vehicles also was arrested for sim-
ilar offenses in ve other communities, borough police said.
Jarod James Hospodar, sometimes previously identied
as Jared Hospodar, and a juvenile accomplice were charged
by Forty Fort ofcer Peter Lakkis with theft from a motor
vehicle, loitering and prowling at night time, receiving sto-
len property and criminal trespass, police said.
The investigation into the thefts began on July 9, when
police were alerted by a newspaper carrier that there were
two suspicious males on Durkee Street in Forty Fort. The
paper carrier reported the pair took off running through
back yards after they saw him.
Police eventually located the juvenile suspect, who admit-
ted that the pair were breaking into vehicles and that they
had stolen two bicycles while attempting to elude police.
Police located Hospodar on July 19, and he to admitted
that he stole a bicycle while trying to elude police during the
incident, police said.
Forty Fort police were assisted by ofcers from
Swoyersville, Kingston and Edwardsville in trying to locate
Hospodar and the juvenile. Police recovered two stolen bicy-
cles that allegedly were taken by Hospodar and his accom-
plice from residents of Swoyersville as well as U.S. currency.
Police from Ashley, Edwardsville, Courtdale, Larksville
and Newport Township have also charged Hospodar with
charges including, burglary, theft by unlawful taking, crimi-
nal trespass, deant trespass, receiving stolen property,
criminal conspiracy, criminal mischief, possessing instru-
ments of crime, corruption of minors, endangering welfare
of children and aiding in the commission of a crime.
During a preliminary hearing before District Judge David
Barilla of Swoyersville on Thursday, Hospodar waived the
charges of theft froma motor vehicle andloitering andprowl-
ing at night time. Police withdrew the charges of receiving
stolen property and criminal trespass as part of a plea agree-
ment. Hospodar was released on $5,000 unsecured bail.
HARRISBURG A Lehigh County doctor was charged
last month with conspiring to unlawfully prescribe more
than 10,000 Oxycodone pills for resale, acquiring themfrom
pharmacies in at least eight counties including Luzerne
County.
Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane identied the defen-
dant as John Manzella, M.D., 49, Allentown. Kane noted
that Robert Kosch, a co-defendant in the
case, has already been charged.
Investigators say Manzella conspired
with Kosch to ll Oxycodone prescriptions
in ctitious names. Text messages alleg-
edly show warnings sent from Kosch to
Manzella about a pharmacy that would be
calling to verify a prescription.
Prescriptions for Oxycodone from
Manzella were lled in at least eight
Pennsylvania counties including, Bucks, Carbon, Lehigh,
Luzerne, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton and
Schuylkill, according to investigators. Agents believe more
than 10,000 pills with an estimated street value of $300,000
were dispensed.
Manzella was charged with 48 counts of unlawfully
administering/prescribing a controlled substance, 48 counts
of acquiring a controlled substance by misrepresentation,
two counts of criminal conspiracy and one count of identity
theft.
He was arraigned before Jim Thorpe Magisterial District
Judge Edward Lewis and released on $500,000 unsecured
bail. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and relin-
quished his license to write prescriptions for scheduled
drugs.

Editorial
Luzerne County is fast approach-
ing the anniversary of twin tragedies
that capped a season of teen suicides
so startling it could not help but grab
public attention and spur debate.
In a matter of days, two Pittston
Area School District teens took their
own lives separately, on Sept. 21 and
24. They were the fourth and fth
teen suicides of the year. And most
had been credited, at least in part, to
bullying.
Those claims were never substanti-
ated and even refuted by ofcials in
different school districts the teens
attended. Indeed, experts warned
blaming suicide on a single cause
such as bullying is a dangerous over-
simplication of a complex prob-
lem. Suicide is third-leading cause
of death for those 15 to 24 in the
country, according to the National
Institute of Mental Health.
What seems to happen is stress-
ors accumulate (leading) to isola-
tion, hopelessness, anger and nega-
tive self-image, Widener University
Associate Professor of Psychology
Dr. Philip Rutter told The Times
Leader last September. Is bullying
directly related to suicide? Its not
totally legitimate to say that. It is fair
to say some young people who are
bullied become depressed and feel
helpless.
None of which diminishes the very
real problem bullying presents, made
worse through social media that
allows a bully to berate a victim 24
hours a day from anywhere.
Not that youd know it from the
states annual School Safety Reports.
Districts provide a tally of a wide
range of offenses, including bullying,
yet it rarely shows up on the reports.
At the height of the tragedies last
year, The Times Leader reviewed
school safety reports for ve years
and found that, countywide, bullying
comprised as little as 0.75 percent of
total incidents to no more than 3.9
percent in any given year.
Yet last years tragedies prompted
widespread public meetings, often
heavy on personal testimony from
victims. Several argued that bullying
goes unreported or under-reported
because the allegations are not taken
seriously, or that bullies go unpun-
ished and merely double down on
their abhorrent behavior.
All of this is important context
when considering news that Luzerne
County District Attorney Stephanie
Salavantis has arranged for anti-
bullying speaker John Halligan to
bring his presentations to students
in 14 area high schools and West
Side Career and Technology Center,
as well as seven presentations geared
for parents.
Salavantis deserves praise for such
a concerted effort to keep the issue
front and center at a time when many
may have forgotten the outcry of last
summer. Halligans crusade stems
from his own sons suicide in 2003 at
age 13, and while he does not blame
bullying, he believes it contributed.
Even without the shocking poten-
tial of teen suicide in the mix, bully-
ing can be as devastating as it is dev-
astatingly pointless, and efforts to
curb it must be persistent and broad.
By bringing Halligan to so many set-
tings, Salavantis provides a timely
reminder that the problem remains
long after the headlines die down.
Colorado is poised to deliver an
object lesson in the chaos Democrats
create when they have a free hand to
reform election law.
The state Legislature passed
the Voter Access and Modernized
Elections Act in May without a
single Republican vote. Its rst test
comes this week in Colorado Springs
and Pueblo, with recall elections of
Democrat state senators who sup-
ported sweeping gun-control legisla-
tion.
The new election law doesnt
require photo ID. At least one dead
voter has been mailed a special
recall-voting registration card, The
Washington Times reports. But it
gets worse.
All thats now required to vote
in Colorado, says the free-market
Independence Institute of Denver via
its Bring in the Vote website, is being
18 or older; living in Colorado for
at least 22 days; having an address,
even if its a hotel or homeless shel-
ter; and afrming intent to make that
address ones permanent home.
Because both recall elections
allow early voting, Colorado vot-
ers could declare their intent to live
in Colorado Springs on Monday,
then declare their intention to live
in Pueblo on Tuesday, which would
allow them to cast ballots in both
elections, The Times says.
I believe the winner will be the
candidate who has the most buses to
bring in what are being called gypsy
voters, says Jon Caldara, the insti-
tutes president.
If Democrats intended their new
law to make Colorado balloting a
mockery of electoral integrity, theyre
succeeding.

Conference set
for grandparents
This year marks the continuation of
grandparents day, which was Sunday,
Sept. 8. However, the celebration should
be all year round. Grandparents, more
and more, are being asked to raise their
grandchildren, and this is as true in the
Pocono-Northeast as it is across the
United States.
Literally millions of children are being
raised by their grandparents, and in this
region, the celebration is headed by the
forthcoming 7th annual conference to be
held at the Woodlands on Friday, Sept.
13, 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a series of
panel presentations and a keynote speak-
er, the Honorable Judge Jennifer Rogers
from the Luzerne County Family Court
system.
Among the panel presenters are four
attorneys who currently practice family
law. Other notable presentations include
the role of Children and Youth, healthy
power in parenting, drawing boundaries
between parents and custodial grand-
parents, parenting 101, post-permanent
adoption, HELPLINE, and nal remarks
by Rabbi Larry Kaplan of Temple Israel.
Conference chair is Brenda Saba,
a grandparent raising a grandchild
with her husband and a member of the
Coalition. This 7th annual conference
follows a number of activities of the
Coalition, which produced several years
ago a Directory of Services, had a paid
Coordinator for several years, and began
a process of either answering questions
from grandparents or referring the
request to an appropriate agency.
The Coalition recognizes the role that
all grandparents play, and that is why the
celebration on September 8th and the
Conference on September 13th are just
two days of a year round celebration that
honors all grandparents in this region
and elsewhere.
The objectives of the Coalition
include ensuring that families and
community organizations obtain basic
knowledge of available community
resources, understand community sys-
tems, missions, programs and eligibility
requirements, and to educate families
and providers with ways to access infor-
mation, ensure families and community
organizations have the opportunity to
be exposed to new ideas and develop
new skills as grandparents, family care-
givers and providers, and explore core
issues and concerns of grandparents.
To make a reservation free to grand-
parents, contact Susan Harding at
the Area Agency on Aging at 1-800-
252-1512 0r 570-822-1159, ext. 2429.
Professionals pay a fee of $35 to regis-
ter but can receive continuing educa-
tion credits through the Family Service
Association of Wyoming Valley. You

The challenges facing grandparents
either raising grandchildren or just
being a grandparent cause the need
to celebrate their participation in fam-
ily life 365 days a year. Come to the
Conference and learn more about their
role.

In her rst
remarks as head of
the Environmental
Protection Agency
(EPA), Gina McCarthy
pledged to use carbon
standards as a way to
spark business inno-
vation. Her decision
on carbon standards
for coal-fueled power
plants will test whether
this is a real promise or
just rhetoric.
Over the past few decades, new tech-
nologies have made the process of pro-
ducing electricity from coal far cleaner
and more efcient. If she proposes rea-
sonable, achievable carbon standards,
McCarthy can encourage clean-coal
innovation in a way thats good for the
environment and our economy.
If youve ipped on a light or
plugged in your cellphone today, the
energy you consumed likely came
from coal. Last year alone, this nat-
ural resource one of the nations
most abundant was responsible
for producing more electricity here
in the United States than any other
energy source.
Despite competition with fuels such as
natural gas, the U.S. Energy Information
Administration predicts that coal will
remain Americas chief source of electric-
ity for decades to come.
The reason for coals popular-
ity is simple: The energy generated
from coal is exceedingly affordable,
abundant and reliable. Electricity
prices in states that rely on coal are
more than 10 percent lower than
the national average, and within our
nations borders, we have over 250
years worth of coal to fuel America
for generations to come.
But beyond these advantages, the
coal sectors most signicant achieve-
ments have involved clean-coal tech-
nologies. To date, the industry has
spent $110 billion on clean-coal inno-
vation, and this hefty investment has
paid off. Since 1970, over a dozen
different technologies have enabled
coal-fueled power plants to reduce the
emissions rate of pollutants like nitro-
gen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and par-
ticulate matter by almost 90 percent.
In the next 15 years, the industry is
likely to invest another $100 billion
to build on this progress.
Coals future as an affordable and
increasingly clean energy source
will depend on the EPA. President
Obama has instructed the agency to
propose carbon standards for future
coal-fueled power plants within a
few weeks. But new regulations are
always a cause for concern. A 2012
analysis found that complying with
a handful of EPA regulations would
cost the electric sector roughly $200
billion in compliance costs.
These rules also would eliminate
nearly 550,000 jobs each year, while
reducing the disposable income of the
average U.S. household by as much as
$500. In fact, EPA regulations have
already contributed to the scheduled
closure of nearly 300 coal-fueled units,
and the impact on those local commu-
nities economies, not to mention our
national economy more broadly, will be
unquestionably severe.

tion for Clean Coal Electricity.

it easier for the district to
test teachers for illegal drug
use if there is a reasonable
suspicion, Wendolowski
said.
Board member Lynn
Evans had to leave due to
an emergency call and was
not present for the vote,
Wendolowski said, while
members James Susek and
Phillip Latinski were not
present. Of the voting mem-
bers, only Maryanne Toole
voted against.
Ney said the delay in sign-
ing is a logistical question,
and that the deal should be
completed on Wednesday,
once all the necessary par-
ties can sit down together
in the same room. The pact
will be retroactive to Sept.
1, he said.
In other action Monday:
Citing publicly-avail-
able statistics, Felton told
the board and the public that
while minority students
including blacks, Hispanics,
Asians and mixed-race
youth make up 45 per-
cent of the districts popula-
tion, at 3,100 pupils, there
are only six minority teach-
ers in the district, and none
of them is a man.
Felton and other mem-
bers of the NAACP met
with district ofcials earlier
in the day to discuss strate-
gies to increase the ranks
of minority teachers, and
Felton said he was optimis-
tic about their commitment
to hold regular talks on the
issue. He also said his con-
cern was about providing
role models who can help
minority students peform
better, not merely boosting
numbers.
I dont want an unquali-
ed minority teacher teach-
ing my child any more than
I would want an unqualied
white teacher teaching my
child, Felton said.
Superintendent Bernard
Prevuznak said he was
struck by Feltons message,
including the realization
that Wilkes-Barre Area
students can go through
12 years of school without
coming into contact with a
minority teacher.
I pledge my support to
you, sir, Prevuznak said,
adding that he felt the ear-
lier meeting was productive.
The board heard from
families concerned with
two different transportation
issues they felt were not
being adequately addressed.
Gail Nasser saidone elemen-
tary bus run has consistent-
ly been using vehicles too
small for the number of stu-
dents on the route, includ-
ing a 64-passenger vehicle
for 75 students. Byron and
Tina Dixon, meanwhile,
said their 12-year-old daugh-
ter, who travels from North
Main Street to Meyers High
School for special educa-
tion, is being forced to stand
at a dangerous intersection
when students fromanother
school are allowed to board
at a safer corner nearby.
Prevuznak said he would
seek answers and work with
both families.

were a potentially positive
development.
At the same time, he
said they were yet another
reason for lawmakers to
give him the backing he is
seeking.
If we dont maintain
and move forward with a
credible threat of military
pressure, I do not think we
will actually get the kind
of agreement I would like
to see, he said on CNN.
In a separate interview
with NBC, the president
took the step unusual
for any politician of
conceding he may lose his
campaign in Congress for
legislation authorizing a
military strike.
I think its fair to say
that I havent decided on
a next step if Congress
turns its back, the presi-
dent said in an NBC
interview, part of a furi-
ous lobbying campaign
aimed at winning support
from dubious lawmakers
as well as a war-weary
public.
Casey: Case for Syria strike being made
Senator discusses
Mideast trouble, jobs
and other issues
BILL OBOYLE

WASHINGTON, D.C.
U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey
on Monday
said that
as the
evi de nc e
comes in
the facts
that have
been made
public and the classied
data a clear and con-
vincing case is being made
that the U.S. cant just walk
away without taking action
against the Syrian regime of
Bashar al-Assad.
You have to consider the
gravity of the crime against
humanity, Casey said in a
telephone interview from
his Washington, D.C. offce.
More than 1,400 people,
including children, have
been killed with the use of
chemical weapons. This is
an ongoing threat to our
security as well.
Amember of the National
Security Working Group
and co-chair of the Weapons
of Mass Destruction
Terrorism Caucus, he said
a good deal of debate
remains in Congress, but
he said the more data that
comes in makes the case of
action stronger.
Casey, D-Scranton, visit-
ed a Syrian refugee camp in
the spring and said he saw
hundreds of children hoping
for a bright future.
Last month, Assad
unconscionably killed hun-
dreds of children with chem-
ical weapons, Casey said.
When a dictator or a terror-
ist organization uses chemi-
cal weapons in violation
of international law, there
must be a direct response.

this crime it is in the U.S.
interest to act.
He said Iran, the terrorist
organization Hezbollah and
North Korea are watching
the U.S. response closely. It
is imperative that we send a
message, he said. I believe
it is important that all
aspects of our Syria policy
be thoroughly debated with
national security interests in
mind.
Casey said President
Barack Obama will address
the nation tonight and make
his case for taking action.
Obama is asking Congress
to support his plan for lim-
ited military strikes against
the Syrian regime.
Casey on other issues
Minimum wage:
Casey, chairman of
the Subcommittee on
Employment and Workplace
Safety in the Senate
Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions (HELP)
Committee, has called on
Congress to raise the nation-
al minimumwagebypassing
the Fair MinimumWage Act
of 2013. Casey said increas-
ing the minimum wage and
indexing it to ination will
offer a lift up the ladder to
the middle class and boost
the economy by stimulating
new spending
Six years have passed
since the last minimum
wage increase was enacted,
he said. Pay for the middle
class is stagnant while the
gap between the haves and
have-nots widens.
Casey said raising the
minimum wage would be
a reasonable way to help
jump-start the economy, but
more important, it would
enable families to keep up
with the rising ination
where xed expenses con-
tinue to rise yearly.
He said he hopes
Congress will vote on the
issue later this year.
Debt spending: Casey
said Democrats and
Republicans have to get
together and soon by
the end of the federal scal
year Sept. 30 to come
up with a plan. He said a
budget needs to be passed
and the country needs to
begin paying down its debt.
He also said Congress must
turn off the sequester
before it results in devastat-
ing cuts.
Some people in
Washington think default is
the right approach, but its
not, Casey said. We also
need to take a hard look at
tax reform.

Ofcials praise Brdaric

Councilman Christopher
Concert called Brdarics
death a total loss for the
entire Wyoming Valley.
He did a lot for this
community and neigh-
boring communities,
Concert said. Im in
shock. He was good to so
many people.
Concert said he was at
the church before sunrise
to watch the demolition.
He praised police ofcers
and emergency respond-
ers for their efforts.
When we realized
what happened, we
started to pray. I can-
not say enough for the
Swoyersville Police
Department, ambulance
and re department
and his workers who
were digging to get him
out, Concert said. Our
prayers go out to his fam-
ily and the people who
work for him. He treated
his employees like fam-
ily.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor
Tom Leighton also was
deeply saddened by
Brdarics loss.
Brdaric had just razed
the Hotel Sterling at
North River and West
Market streets in Wilkes-
Barre less than two
months ago. It took the
company four days to
level the historic struc-
ture at the end of July;
removal of debris took
nine more days. Still, the
job went much faster than
the two months Wilkes-
Barre ofcials had pre-
dicted.
John was dedicated to
his business and always
made sure he did his job
well, Leighton said in a
prepared statement. He
was well respected in the
community and by his cli-
ents.
Diocese expresses
sympathy
Ofcials with the
Diocese of Scranton also
expressed their sympathy
on Brdarics loss.
On behalf of the St.
Elizabeth Ann Seton
Parish community, the
Diocese of Scranton is
grateful for the efforts of
rst responders and oth-
ers who immediately ren-
dered aid to Mr. Brdaric.
We offer our sympathies,
thoughts and prayers
to family members and
friends of Mr. Brdaric,
and to the employees of
Brdaric Excavating, Inc.,
the diocese said in a news
release.
The diocese reorga-
nized parishes in the mid-
1990s, turning St. Marys
of Czestochowa into
Holy Name/St. Marys
Parish when the Holy
Name of Jesus Church in
Swoyersville closed. Holy
Name/St. Marys closed
in June 2012, joining
with Holy Trinity Church
to become St. Elizabeth
Ann Seton Parish under
another consolidation
plan by the diocese.
Brdaric had previous
experience in church
demolition. His company
razed the 96-year-old
Sacred Heart Church in
Luzerne in 2000 after a
consolidation plan closed
that building.
Brdaric has been a well-
known name in the local
construction and demoli-
tion industry for decades.
Brdaric Jr.s father,
John P. Brdaric Sr., also
met an untimely death
while working in the
trade.
According to Times
Leader archives, Brdaric
Sr. was 59 when he
refused to jump from an
40-ton steamroller that
went out of control while
being unloaded from a
truck in Dallas Township
in 1999. The roller, which
was determined to have
had inoperable brakes,
sped down a hill, struck
a tree, threw Brdaric Sr.
off and ran over him. He
died of multiple traumat-
ic injuries.

Volunteers came from as
far away as Seattle, Wash.,
to assist in the recovery,
performing functions from
serving meals to helping
dig mud from basements to
hanging new drywall. The
faith-based community was
instrumental in securing
volunteers from across the
country, he said.
Zimmerman said
local organizations were
quick to respond after
the Susquehanna River
crested at a record 42.66
feet and inundated com-
munities unprotected by
the Wyoming Valley levee
system. But they ran into
some issues because they
had no idea what they
were doing when it came to
helping secure such massive
funding quickly.
It was no easy task, but
we did manage to put it
together, he said.
Zimmerman, whose orga-
nization ran case manage-
ment for the coalition and
helped coordinate other
functions, said that for the
past couple decades, there
had been no functioning
disaster recovery organiza-
tion for Luzerne County.
He said previous attempts
to get a coalition going
years before the ooding
splintered, and it never
became a functional unit. I
think what we have now is
highly functional.
In the rst phase of recov-
ery, the coalition identied
308 homes that sustained
more than $11,000 in dam-
age and the homeowner
was over 60 and/or dis-
abled. A second phase tar-
geted homes with less than
$11,000 in damage whose
owners were 60 or under
and failed federal income
test requirements for assis-
tance.
Repairs to 67 homes in
Luzerne County have been
completed to date because
of the work of the coalition,
Zimmerman said.
Charles Barber, of the
Luzerne Foundation, said
the organization distributed
about $450,000 in funds
raised through grants and
donations. And money is
left over in a fund in the
event of a future disaster in
the county.
County EMA director
Steve Bekanichsummarized
the federal and state recov-
ery processes and identi-
ed the monetary thresh-
olds that had to be met for
disaster declarations. He
also spoke about the efforts
of individual towns such
as Shickshinny and West
Pittston to rebuild with
federal planning experts to
help guide volunteer com-
mittees.
And while the federal and
state government provided
signicant aid, Bekanich
said recovery would have
been much slower without
the work of the coalition.
We from county govern-
ment deeply appreciate the
services you provided, he
said.
Bekanich said its impor-
tant that member agencies
continue to meet regularly
and keep information updat-
ed.

SAN FRANCISCO NFL
opening day excitement was
tarnished with the death of
one fan who fell from a pedes-
trian overpass outside the big
game in San Francisco, and
injuries to two others from
falls inside the Indianapolis
stadium.
Early indications suggest
32-year-old Kevin Hayes of
Hayward fell accidentally, San
Francisco Police Chief Greg
Suhr said.
Alcohol may or may not
have played a role to some
varying degree, but right now,
it looks like a very sad, tragic
accident, Suhr said.
Hayes fell while walking with
his brother on a bridge over
four lanes of trafc outside the
stadium, police said. Off-duty
medics and police ofcers gave
him rst aid until an ambu-
lance arrived, but authorities
said he was declared dead from
his injuries.
We would like to express
our deepest condolences to
the family during this difcult

CONCORD, N.C. Ryan
Newman replaced Martin
Truex Jr. in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship on
Monday night when NASCAR
penalized Michael Waltrip
Racing for manipulating the
outcome of last weekends race
at Richmond.
Michael Waltrip Racing was
ned $300,000, and general
manager Ty Norris received an
indenite suspension. Truex,
Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers
were docked 50 points apiece
but Bowyers deduction does not
affect his position in the Chase,
which begins Sunday at Chicago.
We penalize to not have
this happen again, NASCAR
President Mike Helton said.
Its a message from the league
saying You cant do this.
Newman was leading with
seven laps remaining Saturday
night at Richmond, where a vic-
tory would have given him the
nal spot in the 12-driver Chase
eld. But Bowyer spun to bring
out a caution, setting in motion
a chain of events that ultimately
led to Newman losing the race
and Bowyer teammate Truex
earning the nal Chase berth.
While examining the situa-
tion, NASCAR reviewed com-
munication between Bowyer
and his Michael Waltrip Racing
crew that seemed to indicate
the spin was deliberate, as well
as additional evidence that sug-
gested MWR had Bowyer and
Vickers take a dive over the
nal three laps so Joey Logano
would knock Jeff Gordon out of
Chase contention in yet another
attempt to help Truex.

Rafael Nadal reacts after defeating Novak Djokovic during the
mens singles final of the u.S. Open on Monday in New York.
HOWARD FENDRICH
APTennis Writer
NEW YORK Hard to believe
this is the same Rafael Nadal who
was home during the U.S. Open a
year ago, nursing a bad left knee.
Hard to believe this is the guy
sent packing in the rst round of
Wimbledon in June, losing against
someone ranked 135th.
Looking t as can be and maybe
even better than ever, the No.
2-ranked Nadal pulled away from No.
1 Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 on
Monday in a taut, tense U.S. Open
nal for his 13th Grand Slam title.
Very, very emotional, no?
Nadal said during the on-court tro-
phy presentation. Probably only
my team knows how much (this)
means for me.
They started in sunlight and n-
ished at night, a 3-hour, 21-minute
miniseries of cliffhangers and plot
twists and a pair of protagonists
who inspired standing ovations in
the middle of games.
Probably nobody brings my
game to the limit like Novak, said
Nadal, who collected $3.6 million
in prize money, including a $1 mil-
lion bonus for results during the
North American hard-court circuit.
There was no quit in either of
them, during points that lasted
15, 25, even more than 50 strokes.
Those rallies went so long, rarely
over when they appeared to be, and
spectators often shouted out during
the course of play, prompting Nadal
to complain to the chair umpire.
This was their 37th match against
each other, the most between any
two men in the Open era, and Nadal
has won 22. It also was their third
head-to-head U.S. Open nal in the
last four years. Nadal beat Djokovic
for the 2010 title, and Djokovic won
their rematch in 2011.
They know each others games so
well, and play such similar hustle-
to-every-ball styles, but in the end,
it was Nadal who was superior.
He was too good. He denitely
deserved to win this match today
and this trophy, Djokovic said.
Obviously disappointing to lose a
match like this.
Nadal improved to 22-0 on hard
courts and 60-3 overall in 2013
with nine titles, including at the
French Open, which made him the
rst man with at least one Grand
Slam trophy in nine consecutive
seasons. The 27-year-old Spaniards
total of 13 major championships
ranks third in the history of mens
tennis, behind only Roger Federers
17 and Pete Sampras 14.
Thirteen Grand Slams for a
guy who is 27 years old is incred-
ible, said Djokovic, who owns six
himself. Whatever he achieved so
far in his career, everybody should
respect, no question about it.
Nadal no longer wears the strips
of white tape he once did to bolster
his left knee, and the way he cov-
ered the court against Djokovic

Stadium in Kingston. grega scored three times in the 3-2 victory.

KINGSTON In case you werent there
Thursday, Danielle Grega and Julia Usefara
made sure to work their magic again.
Grega scored in overtime with an assist
from Usefara for the second consecutive
game, this time lifting Wyoming Valley
West over Dallas 3-2 at Spartan Stadium
on Monday in Wyoming Valley Conference
eld hockey.
The pair created the same nish last week
in a 2-1 OT triumph over Wyoming Area.
Me and Julia were up on the forward line
again, Grega said. And the last game we
had the same type of situation happen. We
know what to do with it.
The Valley West senior nished the day
with three goals, giving her ve on the sea-
son. It was her rst hat trick since Oct. 1,
2012, in a victory over Abington Heights.
Grega had two goals in a six-minute span
early in the rst half to give the Spartans
the early advantage. The rst came as Alex
Gonda centered the ball and Grega dove
to reach it, swinging a reverse stick and
launching the ball high over Dallas goal-
keeper Lily Amadio.
The next capped a Startans rush, as
Kaylee Caprari sent a pass to Gonda, whose
blast from just inside the circle was redi-
rected by Grega for a 2-0 lead in the ninth
minute.
Ive played against her a lot, so I know a
bit about how she plays, Grega said of fac-
ing Amadio, who made eight saves. Youve
got to hit your corners on her.
Theres no quit in the Mountaineers,
though, as Dallas suddenly tilted the eld
in its favor. The visitors had the next four

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy celebrates has he crosses the goal line for a touchdown during the second half
Monday against the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md.
JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
LANDOVER, Md. Just try tokeepupwithMichael
Vick, LeSean McCoy and the Philadelphia Eagles this
season. Robert Grifn III and the Washington Redskins
sure couldnt.
Playing at a frenetic pace that left the Redskins
bumbling and stumbling, the Eagles unleashed coach
Chip Kellys offense on the NFL and
crammed 77 plays into 60 minutes of
football. They had their share of mis-
cues, of course, but they held on for a
33-27 upset of the defending NFC East
champs.
Vick, running the dont-take-a-breath
attack that won 87 percent of the
time during Kellys four years at the
University of Oregon, completed 15 of
25 passes for 203 yards and two touch-
downs, and he ran nine times for 56
yards and a score. McCoy had 31 car-
ries for 184 yards, including a 34-yard
TD. DeSean Jackson piled up 104 yards
on seven catches.
Vick hit Jackson for a 25-yard touch-
down and Brent Celek for a 28-yard
score, then found the end zone himself on a 3-yard run
and that was just the rst half. It would have been a
bigger rout if Vick hadnt missed three open receivers
in the rst quarter, or if his sideways lateral on rst-
and-goal at the 4 hadnt been tipped by linebacker Ryan
Kerrigan and returned 75 yards for a Redskins touch-
down.
Perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment by
Vick, McCoy, Kelly and the Eagles: They managed to
upstage Grifn. The game was played eight months to
the day since the Redskins quarterback had major knee
surgery, and his return Monday was the culmination
of a dedicated, high-prole rehab that included a pub-
lic clash with Washington coach Mike Shanahan that
barely put a dent in the fans fervent adoration for their
franchise player.
As it turned out, they didnt have much of a chance
to chant R-G-3! because the Redskins offense
couldnt stay on the eld. Their rst seven plays: lost
fumble by Alfred Morris, 3-yard loss by Morris, penal-
ty for illegal shift, screen to Morris that got back some
yards, interception thrown by Grifn into triple cover-
age, pass dropped by fullback Darrel Young, safety that
occurred when Morris bobbled a pitch in the end zone.
The Redskins were trailing 33-7 late in the third
quarter before three consecutive touchdowns the
last coming with 1:14 to play made the score more
respectable.
Wearing a brace on his right knee, Grifn completed
30 of 49 passes for 329 yards, but 169 yards came in the
fourth after the Eagles had taken control. He was also
intercepted twice the rst multi-interception game
of his career. He ran only ve times for 24 yards. He
reached down to touch his knee after he was slammed
down by Mychal Kendricks late in the second quarter
Grifn was agged for intentional grounding on the
play but the quarterback remained in the game.
Washington didnt run a play in Philadelphia territo-
ry until the second half. At one point, the Eagles were
outgaining the Redskins 146-3. There was a moment

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com sports Tuesday, September 10, 2013 PAGE 3B
Maryland Athletics
Former Crestwood standout Anna Dessoye
has played in every game in her young
college career. The sophomore has helped
Maryland to a No. 2 ranking in the latest
national poll, scoring four goals and add-
ing five assists in four games this season.
BILL ARSENAULT
For The Times Leader
The University of Maryland eld
hockey team is 4-0 and ranked sec-
ond in the nation and keying the
effort is sophomore Anna Dessoye.
Dessoye (Crestwood) leads the
Terps in points (13) and assists
(ve) and is tied for rst in goals
scored (four). She had the rst two
goals in a recent 3-0 victory over No.
8 Old Dominion.
Annas just done a tremendous job
being our most prolic goal scorer,
coach Missy Meharg said. She has the
highest number of shots on the team.
Dessoye played in all 24 games
and started 20 and had ve goals and
three assists as a freshman.
I think Annas opportunity to
compete in the Junior World Cup
this past summer has helped her to
take her game to a whole new level,
Meharg said.
The coach also likes Dessoyes ver-
satility.
Last year she was a signicant
part of our success but this year she
has come in and shes been a pleasure
to coach, Meharg said. Were really
excited about her exibility and her
ability to play in the front three as
well as in the mideld.
SOTOSEES ACTIONIt didnt
take long for Shakir Soto to get onto
the eld with the Pittsburgh football
team. Defensive tackle Soto (GAR
Memorial) played in the season-
opener against Florida State and col-
lected three tackles, two for losses,
as the Panthers made their Atlantic
Coast Conference debut with a 41-13
loss to the Seminoles.
Shakir is a true freshman but
we thought he did one heck of a
job against Florida State, Pitt head
coach Paul Chryst said. He has been
a worker from the time he arrived in
January.
The 6-foot-3, 255-pound Soto, a
two-time All-Pennsylvania selec-
tion while at GAR, nished his high
school career with 52 sacks and was
one of the top recruits in the state.
We were excited when we signed
him and his performance in practice
and against the Seminoles only served
to reinforce that feeling, Chryst said.
I expect Shakir to continue to prog-
ress and be an important contributor
on our defensive front.
The Panthers, idle last weekend,
return to the eld in a non-league
game against New Mexico Saturday
in Pittsburgh.
WATCH LIST FOR SCHMID
Joseph Schmid (Wyoming
Valley West) is into his nal season
playing with the Monmouth mens
soccer team. Hes coming off a big
junior season when he was named
to the All-Region and All-Northeast
Conference rst team.
Joseph is an outstanding player,
coach Bob McCourt said. He has
been named to the Hermann Award
(college soccers Heisman Trophy)
because he is one of the top mideld-
ers in the country.
Schmidhasnt scoredinMonmouths
rst three games, but has scored 11
goals with nine assists in his rst three
seasons, including a freshman year at
Villanova. He had ve goals and three
assists last season.
Joseph is our captain and is the
leader of the team, McCourt said.
He is the epitome of the term stu-
dent-athlete. He does very well in the
class room as well as on the eld.
The Hawks are 1-2 in the early
going but are contenders for the
NEC title.
BIG GAME FOR NEWAK
Sophomore Jess Newak had a goal
and an assist on the game-winner as
her Wake Forest eld hockey team
defeated No. 8 Michigan 2-1 in the
Atlantic Coast Conference-Big Ten
Challenge last Sunday in Iowa City,
Iowa. Newak (Crestwood) is in her
second season as a starter, having
scored ve goals with three assists
as a freshman. The points against
Michigan were her rst this season.
I think Jess discipline has
improvedthis season, coach Jennifer
Averill said. Her understanding of
the college game has improved along
with her awareness both offensive
and defensively.
Averill, who recorded her 300th
victory in a season-opening triumph
over Miami, puts Newaks game in
perspective.
Last year, she was just a quick
hockey player and now her hockey
skill level is catching up with her
quickness, the coach said.
DUO HELPING EAGLES
Sophomores Kelcie Hromisin
(Wyoming Valley West) and
AshLeigh Sebia of Plains (Wyoming
Seminary) are solid performers for
the Boston College eld hockey
team.
Hromisin has scored two goals and
had a key score in a 5-4 victory over
Maine.
Kelcie has one of the best work
rates I have seen in my career, veter-
an coach Ainslee Lamb said. She is
coachable, focused and determined.
She takes every opportunity to get
better and she uses every minute
every second for that matter on
the eld to make a difference for the
team.
Sebia has a goal and an assist and
had the rst goal in a 2-1 triumph
over Rutgers.
AshLeigh also has an incredible
work rate and a passion for Boston
College, Lamb said. She is an
impact on the eld in both practice
and game situations. Her pride to
represent our programs in all aspects
is admirable and her desire to be the
best she can be to contribute to the
success and level of play for the team
is awesome.
The Eagles, ranked 19th in the
country, are 4-1 after a 4-2 loss to No.
14 Massachusetts last Sunday.
PIERCE CHIPPINGIN Senior
Kevin Pierce (Dallas) continues to
be a key reserve for the 25th-ranked
Carnegie Mellon mens soccer team.
The 6-foot-1 forward hasnt scored
to date this season, but picked up an
assist in 13 games off the bench last
season.
Kevin has been an integral part
of our success during his time here,
coach Arron Lujan said. This sea-
son, we expect him to play a signi-
cant role. He has been playing well
thus far due to his improved move-
ment without the ball. He denitely
is an important player for our team.
The Tartans are 3-1 after a 1-0 vic-
tory over Elizabethtown last Sunday.
The only loss was a 2-1 double over-
time setback against Dickinson last
Saturday.
HILLMAN KNOWS THE
SCORE Senior Leigh Hillman
(Lake-Lehman) scored the rst two
goals as the Bucknell eld hockey
team posted a 3-2 overtime victory
over Ohio State Sunday in Columbus,
Ohio. She now has a team-high three
goals, an assist and a team-high seven
points on the season. She had seven
goals and an assist for 15 points last
season.
Leigh has a contagiously opti-
mistic personality and is one of the
hardest working student-athletes on
our team, coach Jeremy Cook said.
She has made tremendous on-eld
progress since her arrival here and
has been a big part of our progress as
a program during that time.
The Bison are 2-2 and face Drexel
Friday in Philadelphia.
REXER STEPPING UP After
a solid freshman season, sophomore
Hallie Rexer (Holy Redeemer) has
become a key performer for the St.
Francis, Pa., womens soccer team,
which is currently 3-2-1 on the sea-
son. Rexer, a 5-foot-6 midelder, has
played in all six games and started
two and has taken ve shots but is
still looking for her rst points. She
had two goals and an assist off the
bench as a freshman.
Hallie worked hard over the
spring and summer and shell help
our team accomplish our goals this
fall, coach Brenda van Stralen said.
With a year under her belt, she will
step in at a higher level than last year.
She understands what our expecta-
tions are for her in the mideld.
Local stars back in action at college
ON CAMPUS
Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader
Athlete of the Week Brea Seabrook of GAR field hockey scored five goals in two games for the Grenadiers last week.
School: GAR
Grade: Junior
Sport: Field hockey
Position: Midfelder
All in the Family: Brea, fromWilkes-
Barre, is the daughter of KimGrady
and Nate Seabrook.
Stats: Seabrook opened the season
by scoring all fve of her teams goals
over two games last week, the frst a
victory and the second a defeat.
Shooting star: The Grenadiers got an
emotional lift and hoisted themselves
past old nemesis Hanover Area when
Seabrook scored the tying goal in
the second half and then added the
game-winner in a 2-1 victory. Then
Seabrook, who received a rare honor
at GAR by being named captain as a
junior before the season, gave GAR
a shot the next time out. Despite
fghting of multiple defenders the
entire game, Seabrook scored all
three goals for the Grenadiers in a
tough 4-3 defeat to Berwick.
Coachs corner: Breas an
athlete, shes a hard worker, shes
determined, GAR coach Sue Woznock
said. She has been developing as a
leader. We were really proud of her
after the Berwick game. Berwick
triple-teamed Brea the whole game.
She kept her head through the entire
thing and found other ways to help
passing, carrying. Brea started
playing with us at the Sports Dome in
sixth grade. We knewwe were going to
have something special in Brea.
Did you know? During her down
time, Seabrook - whos also a
basketball standout at GAR - can be
found fipping TVchannels between
MTVand the home and garden
station. I like HGTV, she said. My
momthinks Imso weird. But I think
its really cool to see all the diferent
houses.
From her angle: I feel like Ive
always been a natural goal scorer,
Seabrook said. Thats just what I
mostly do. Thats just me. Its the
leadership part shes had to work at.
Me being captain, I dont like to yell
at my teammates. Were all friends
and its like, Breas yelling at me! But
I kind of stepped it up a little bit.
Week in review: Time to take
of. Lake-Lehmans Dominic
Hockenbury opened the Wyoming
Valley Boys Cross Country season
with a winning time of 17:02, while
Coughlins David Sadvary wasnt
far of that pace with a 17:22 in the
same meet. On the girls side,
Dallas senior Regan Rome returned
froma preseason groin injury to win
a dual meet with a time of 20:31,
while Tunkhannocks Maggie Toczko
captured another race in 20:10.
It seems Tunkhannocks Aiden
Cronin would win any race to the
cage. He scored four goals in a boys
soccer victory over Meyers, then
added three more goals in a win
over MMI. Lake-Lehmans Austin
Harry scored all three goals in a
3-2 victory over Wyoming Seminary
and GARs Anthony Tlatenchi
duplicated the feat in a 3-2 win over
Berwick. Wyoming Valley Wests
Eddie Thomas also had three of the
Spartans four goals against Meyers.
Keeping with the scoring spree,
Berwicks Gabby Kishbaugh netted
three goals and made four assists
in a girls soccer victory over MMI.
Lake-Lehmans Shoshana Mahoney
made four goals and an assist against
Wyoming Seminary. Berwicks Abby
Kemp had four goals and an assist
against MMI while Pittston Areas
Allie Barber had four goals and an
assist against Sem. If its assists
youre looking for, Olivia Jankowski
of Crestwood had 25 of themin a girls
volleyball victory over Lake-Lehman.
Berwicks Courtney Soboleski
served 12 aces against Wyoming
Valley West and Lehmans Lexi
Opplinger served 17 points, including
10 aces, in a win over Hanover
Area. Holy Redeemer hitter Nicole
Slovasky made 15 kills in a win over
Wyoming Area and Crestwoods Emily
Sipple fnished with 14 kills against
Lehman. Sticking with net play,
Holy Redeemers Megan McGraw,
Coughlins Dana Schneider anbd
Wyoming Seminarys Nathalie
Joanlanne all won girls tennis
matches at No. 1 singles without
dropping a single game. Crestwoods
Kristi Bowman posted a 6-1, 6-0
victory against Pittston Area and
Valley Wests Laura Monto won
6-1, 6-1 for the teams only point in
a loss to Wyoming Area. It was
a hard-luck loss in feld hockey for
Nanticoke Area goal keeper Maddie
ODonahue, who made 22 saves
against Wyoming Area in a 1-0 defeat.
Valley Wests Julia Usefara just
wouldnt accept defeat, as she tied
the game with a goal with 1:56 to play
in regulation and then assisted on
Danielle Gregas overtime winner
to beat Wyoming Area 2-1. Holy
Redeemers Melanie Kusakavitch
had two goals and two assists against
Nanticoke Area. Wyoming Seminarys
Mallory Lefkowicz had three goals
and an assist against Hazleton Area.
And Crestwoods Ashleigh Thomas
scored three goals in a victory over
Dallas and her Comets teammate
Elizabeth Dessoye had two goals and
an assist in a victory over Delaware
Valley. Coughlin got a big assist, er,
three of themfromKyra Wozniak
during a victory over Wallenpaupack.
Crestwood running back Tanner
Kahlau ran for four touchdowns - all
of themgoing for 15 yards or more
- on the football feld against North
Pocono. Coughlins Paul Cole rushed
for 182 yards against Hazleton Area,
Northwests Austin Mazonkey
darted for 173 against Susquehanna
and Meyers Matt DeMarco had
153 rushing yards in a loss to Old
Forge. Berwick wide receiver Andrew
Force must have lost the coverage,
because he caught 147 yards worth
of passes - a 38-yard touchdown
and gains of 66 and 43 yards on
his three catches. Holy Redeemers
Jimmy Strickland threwfor 258
yards and three touchdowns on 13
completions and Berwick quarterback
C.J. Curry passed for 250 yards on
nine completions. It was complete
domination for Holy Redeemer again
on the golf course, where both Ryan
Crossin and Chase Makowski shot
3-under par 33s in a victory over
Lake-Lehman.
Paul Sokoloski
Athlete of the Week
Brea Seabrook
shots, with Vanessa Parsons
nally nding the back of
the cage on a give-and-go
with Jenny Cave, making it
2-1 nearly midway through
the rst half.
Once they got that goal,
we knew we had to work to
keep possession of the ball
and move it around better,
Grega said.
Play evened out through
the rest of the rst half and
well into the second, with
Dallas killing off a pair of
shorthanded situations with-
out allowing a Valley West
shot thanks in part to
nice plays by Morgan Morris
and Emma Niznik. Finally, a
well-executed penalty corner
knotted the score as Michelle
Thompson stepped into a set
up fromParsons to re a shot
past Spartans keeper Alicia
Moore (nine saves).
Nina Magnotta made a
nifty defensive save on a
Parsons rush with four min-
utes left in the rst half for
the Spartans. Usefara added
a defensive save with 19 min-
utes remaining as Parsons
led a rush upeld and spun
around a challenging Moore
before releasing a shot
that the Valley West junior
slapped away at the goal line.

PITTSBURGH
Maurkice Pouncey limped
through the Pittsburgh
Steelers practice facility on
Monday, the torn ligaments
in his knee wrapped in ban-
dages and his season over.
The three-time Pro Bowl
center remained in high spir-
its as always though he
might have been one of the
fewin the building.
The long road back for
Pouncey will begin later this
weekwhenheundergoes sur-
gery. The same for lineback-
er Larry Foote, who is also
done for the year after rup-
turing his right biceps while
trying to tackle Tennessees
Chris Johnson in the fourth
quarter of a 16-9 loss.
For a team that preach-
es next man up when
faced with adversity, at the
moment next man left
might be more appropriate.
While the Steelers will
have somebody snap the ball
to Ben Roethlisberger next
Monday when they play at
Cincinnati, whoever it is will
be a signicant downgrade
over a player considered one
of the NFLs elite.
Kelvin Beachum lled in
after Pouncey was carted
off the eld eight plays into
the season, the rst time in
Beachums football career
hes worked at center dur-
ing an actual game. Though
Beachum is arguably the
most versatile player left on
the line he saw time at
both tackle and guard during
the preseasonthe Steelers
signed veteran Fernando
Velasco to a one-year con-
tract on Monday according
to agent Brian Ayrault.
The 28-year-old Velasco
started 16 games for
Tennessee last season,
including 13 at center. Hell
be given every opportunity
to take over for Pouncey on
a line that will try to regroup
without its emotional leader.
Its going to be tough,
running back Isaac Redman
said. Pouncey is the heart of
our offensive line. Weve got
to have guys step up.
Even if Redman isnt one
of them. Handed the starting
job out of camp after rookie
LeVeon Bell sprained his

the end zone and man-
aged just nine yards on eight

Pittsburgh coach Mike
Tomlin grewso frustrated he
sent third-down back LaRod
Stephens-Howling into
the game, only to have
the return specialist tear
the ACL in his knee.

NEW YORK Gio Gonzalez
was inches from a no-hitter and the
Washington Nationals hit five home
runs Monday night, including long
balls by their first two batters, in a 9-0
rout of the New York Mets.
Gonzalez held the overmatched Mets
hitless into the seventh before pinch-
hitter Zach Lutz broke up the bid with
a soft single for New Yorks only hit.
Lutz swung at the first pitch of the
inning and hit a looper that landed on
the first base line, taking out a chunk of
chalk well behind the bag.
First baseman Adam LaRoche made a
diving attempt as the ball hit the dirt,
but it squirted by and into foul terri-
tory along the right field line.
First base umpire John Hirschbeck
correctly called it fair, and Gonzalez
(10-6) paused behind the mound to
stare in his direction.
Braves 5, Marlins 2
MIAMI Evan Gattis drove in two
runs to highlight Atlantas highest-scor-
ing inning in more than a month, and
the Braves snapped a four-game slide
by beating the Miami Marlins.
Justin Upton, Freddie Freeman and
Gattis all doubled to lead off what
became a five-run fourth, Atlantas big-
gest inning since a five-run fifth against
Philadelphia on Aug. 2. Kris Medlen
(13-12) was the beneficiary that night
against the Phillies and again on
Monday, getting the win after allowing
six hits and two runs in 6 1-3 innings.
Atlanta (86-57) passed idle Boston
(87-58) for baseballs best record.
Chris Coghlan tied a career high with
four hits for Miami, which lost for the
24th time in its last 34 games. Ed Lucas
added a two-run double in the seventh
for the Marlins.
Cubs 2, Reds 0
CINCINNATI Left-hander Travis
Wood beat Cincinnati for the first time
in his career, repeatedly pitching out
of threats for seven innings, and the
Chicago Cubs stalled the Reds week-
long surge.
Wood (9-11) finally beat the team
that traded him after the 2011 season.
He was 0-4 in his career, including
three losses this season.
He allowed six hits and fanned seven.
Kevin Gregg gave up a double in the
ninth while earning his 31st save in 35
chances.
Ryan Sweeney and Luis Valbuena
homered off Bronson Arroyo (13-11),
who had won his last four starts against
the Cubs.
The Reds were coming off a refresh-
ing week six wins in seven games
against the rival Cardinals and the NL
West-leading Dodgers.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP
AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE Chris Tillman took
a three-hitter into the eighth inning and
the Baltimore Orioles beat the New York
Yankees 4-2 on Monday night in a game that
featured an on-eld confrontation between
the teams managers.
With the victory, the Orioles movedwithin
1 1-2 games of idle Tampa Bay for the second
AL wild card. The Yankees fell three games
behind Tampa Bay. Tillman (16-5) allowed
two runs and four hits in seven-plus innings.
He walked none and struck out nine, match-
ing his career high.
Both dugouts emptied briey after the
rst inning, when Orioles manager Buck
Showalter angrily exchanged words with
Joe Girardi after the Yankees manager appar-
ently said something to Baltimore third base
coach Bobby Dickerson. Showalter had to be
restrained by home plate umpire Ed Hickox.
Alex Rodriguez and Lyle Overbay hit
home runs for the Yankees. Rodriguezs rst-
inning blast to right-center was the 652nd of
his career, leaving him eight short of tying
Willie Mays for fourth place all-time.
CC Sabathia (13-12), who came into the
game with an 18-5 career record against the
Orioles, yielded four runs three earned
and seven hits over 7 1-3 innings. He walked
two and struck out six. Tommy Hunter
relieved Tillman and struck out the side in
the eighth. Jim Johnson got the last three
outs for his AL-leading 43rd save.
Indians 4, Royals 3
CLEVELAND Ubaldo Jimenez struck
out 10 in seven innings and Asdrubal
Cabrera, Yan Gomes and Carlos Santana
each hit solo homers, leading the Cleveland
Indians to a win over the Kansas City Royals.
The Indians, who won despite having
only ve hits, stayed even with Baltimore,
1games back of Tampa Bay for the second
wild-card spot. The Royals dropped to four
games behind the Rays.
Jimenez (11-9) allowed one unearned run
and didnt walk a batter. The right-hander
left with a 4-1 lead after throwing 99 pitches,
but Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer off
Cody Allen in the eighth. Chris Perez sur-
vived a shaky ninth for his 23rd save, retiring
Gordon on a y ball with the bases loaded
to end the game. The Indians have won six
of eight.
INTERLEAGUE
Pirates 1, Rangers 0
ARLINGTON, Texas Clinching their
rst winning season since 1992, rookie right-
hander Gerrit Cole had a career-high nine
strikeouts over seven innings to outpitch Yu
Darvish and lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a
victory over the Texas Rangers.
The Pirates (82-61) didnt get a runner
to second base against Darvish (12-8) until
Marlon Byrds two-out double in the sev-
enth. He came home when Pedro Alvarez
followed with a double. Pittsburgh had lost
a season-high four games in a row since
getting their 81st victory last Tuesday at
Milwaukee to guarantee their rst non-
losing season in more than two decades.
They nally have their winning season after
taking the opener of a three-game inter-
league series between wild-card leaders.

appeared to be intoxicated
and having trouble walking
before he fell over the rail to
a sidewalk below.
It certainly marred what
otherwise is a very happy
day for fans who know this
is the last opening game we
will see in Candlestick, San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
said. Also Sunday, a rail-
ing collapsed at the Colts
game against the Raiders in
Indianapolis, injuring two
unidentied fans who were
leaning against the barrier
above a tunnel leading to
Oaklands locker room.
One person was taken
away on a stretcher, while
another left in a wheelchair,
witnesses said.
After the Colts 21-17 vic-
tory, Barney Levengood,
executive director of the
Indiana Convention Center
and Lucas Oil Stadium,
issued a statement that
said one of the people was
released after receiving
medical attention at the sta-
dium. The other person was
treated at the stadium and
transported to Methodist
Hospital for additional eval-
uation. Levengood said the
second fan did not appear to
be seriously injured.
Fan Dalton Tinklenberg
of Kokomo., Ind., told
The Indianapolis Star on
Monday the railing that col-
lapsed appeared to be wob-
bly. Stadiumofcials did not
immediately return phone
messages and emails from
The Associated Press seek-
ing comment.
in the second quarter when
the weary defense had
more cramps (two) than
the offense had rst downs
(one). Even Kai Forbath,
who made 17 of 18 eld
goals in his rookie year, was
wide right in the third quar-
ter. Shanahans team also
committed 10 penalties for
75 yards. Kerrigan left in the
fourth quarter with concus-
sion symptoms.
The rst-half stats resem-
bled something from an
Oregon opener against a cre-
ampuff, not a game between
NFC East rivals. Total yards:
322-75. First downs: 21-3.
Time of possession: 20:20-
9:40. Philadelphias 53 plays
were the second-most in a
rst half by any NFL team
since 1991.
Both teams entered the
season with concerns about
pass defense. The Eagles,
with three new starters in
the secondary, fared well in
the debut of their new 3-4
scheme. The Redskins, again
without safety Brandon
Meriweather (groin) and
with two rookies getting
extended playing time, have
much work to do.
As for Grifn, he was the
undisputed star of the show
at least until kickoff. He
arrived at the stadium wear-
ing an autographed T-shirt
from Les Dauphins de Nice,
the American football team
in France that welcomed him
for a workout during his hon-
eymoon in July.

JOE SOPRANO
jsoprano@timesleader.com
Some former Penn State
defenders had big days in
the rst week of the NFL
season.
Dallas Cowboy line-
backer Sean Lee (Class of
2009), Kansas City Chief
linebacker Tambi Hali
(05) and Dolphins defen-
sive end Cameron Wake
(04) each were instru-
mental in their teams vic-
tories.
Lee, while only record-
ing four solo tackles and
an assist in the Cowboys
36-31 victory over the
New York Giants on
Sunday night, still was
enough of the force on
the eld to be recog-
nized by the NBC crew
broadcasting the game.
Lee, along with Cowboys
quarterback Tony Romo,
was awarded a game ball.
His and Romos face will
adorn the side of the NBC
truck for the rest of the
season.
Hali had a rare treat
for a defensive player,
scoring a touchdown as
the Chiefs defeated the
Jaguars, 28-2. Hali inter-
cepted a Blaine Gabbert
screen pass in the fourth
quarter Sunday and
returned it 10 yards for
a touchdown. He also
had two tackles, but did
not get in on any of the
Chiefs six sacks.
A fact that left him none
too happy.
I feel like I struggled,
Hali told the Topeka
Capital-Journal. When I
dont get a sack, I feel like
Ive struggled. At least my
partner (Justin Houston)
got three of them. Thats
pretty big, too.
Miami Dolphins defen-
sive end Cameron Wake
had 2 1/2 sacks and two
additional tackles for loss
in the Dolphins 23-10
victory over the Browns.
Penn State fans may bet-
ter remember him as
Derek Wake, the name he
used when he played for
the Nittany Lions.
Heres how the other
Penn Staters in the NFL
fared in Week 1.
Lees former Penn
State teammate didnt
have as good a night.
Giants linebacker Dan
Connor (07) had a tack-
le and an assist but was
forced to leave the game
during the rst half with
an injury.
Against the Chiefs,
Jaguars linebacker Paul
Posluszny (06) had 10
tackles.
Miami defensive line-
man Jared Odrick (09)
had one tackle.
Chicago Bears place
kicker Robbie Gould
(04) had hit on his only
eld goal attempt of the
day a 58-yarder
against the Bengals. He
also was a perfect 3-for-3
on extra points. Defensive
lineman Devon Still (11)
saw action in the game for
the Bengals but did not
record a tackle.
Defensive lineman
Jordan Hill sat out the
Seahawks opener at
Carolina with a bicep
injury.
San Francisco 49ers
linebacker NaVarro
Bowman (09) started
against the Green Bay
Packers and recorded two
tackles in the 49ers 34-28
victory. San Francisco
linebacker Nate Stupar
(11) was inactive. Tight
End Andrew Quarless
(09) saw action for Green
Bay but did not catch a
pass.
Minnesota Vikings
linebackers Gerald
Hodges (12) and
Michael Mauti (12)
were both inactive against
the Detroit Lions.
Pittsburgh receiver
Derek Moye (11) played
but did not have a recep-
tion in the Steelers 16-9
loss to Tennessee.
Matt McGloin (12)
was inactive for the
Oakland Raiders opener in
Indianapolis. Meanwhile,
Raiders defensive line-
man Jack Crawford (11)
had a tackle and Stefen
Wisniewski (10) was at
his usual position, start-
ing at center.
Arizona Cardinals left
tackle Levi Brown (06)
started in the Cardinals
27-24 loss to the Rams.
On Thursday night,
offensive lineman A.Q.
Shipley (11) saw action
for the Baltimore Ravens
against Denver.
San Diego Chargers
linemen Johnnie
Troutman (11) and Rich
Orhnberger (08) and
Washington Redskins run-
ning back Evan Royster
(10) teams were in action
Monday night.

STEPHEN WILSON
AP Sports Writer
BUENOS AIRES,
Argentina With two
big votes out of the way,
the IOC awaits another
critical decision: electing a
new president to lead the
Olympic body into the next
decade.
Thomas Bach of Ger-
many goes into todays
International Olympic Com-
mittee vote as the strong
favorite among the eld of
six candidates vying for the
most powerful job in world
sports. Bach, a 59-year-old
lawyer and IOC vice presi-
dent who heads Germanys
national Olympic body, has
long been considered the
front-runner to succeed
Jacques Rogge, the 71-year-
old Belgian who is stepping
downafter 12 years inofce.
Richard Carrion, a Puerto
Rican banking executive
who heads the IOCs nance
commission, and vice
president Ng Ser Miang of
Singapore are viewed as the
top challengers.
Also on the ballot are
executive board members
Sergei Bubka of Ukraine and
C.K. Wu of Taiwan and for-
mer board member Denis
Oswald of Switzerland.
The campaign headed
into its nal, frantic hours
with candidates trying to
line up votes. The lobby, cor-
ridors, restaurants and bars
of the IOC hotel were swirl-
ing with rumors, gossip,
speculation and whispers of
deals, alliances and voting
counts. With Bachs sup-
porters condent of secur-
ing a rst-round victory, his
rivals were privately discuss-
ing possible voting alliances
to try to stop the German.
If Bach is elected, he
would continue Europes
hold on the presidency. Of
the IOCs eight leaders, all
have come from Europe
except for Avery Brundage,
the American who ran the
committee from 1952-72.

STILLWATER, Okla.
Oklahoma State athletic
director Mike Holder apol-
ogized to his fellow athletic
directors around the Big 12
Conference on Monday in
advance of whats expected
to be a scathing expose of
the football program by
Sports Illustrated.
I apologize to all the
athletic directors in the
conference for whats about
to happen, for whats about
to be said about a mem-
ber institution, Holder
said at a news conference
without taking questions.
That reects on every-
one, all our brothers and
peers, were very remorse-
ful about that.
The school announced
over the weekend that
SI had notied it of the
upcoming series, which
details transgressions by
the football program start-
ing in 2001. Oklahoma
State said it has notied
the NCAA and launched its
own investigation.
Sports Illustrated, in a
news release sent Monday,
gave highlights of the ve-
part series that will begin
Tuesday with a posting on
SI.com. The magazine says
it conducted interviews
with more than 60 former
Oklahoma State players
who played for the school
from 2001-10.
Among the allegations of
misconduct and potential
NCAA violations are:
An Oklahoma State
assistant coach paid cash
bonuses to players of up to
$500 for performance.
Oklahoma State boost-
ers and at least two assis-
tant coaches funneled
money to players and pro-
vided sham jobs for which
players were paid.
Tutors and other
school personnel complet-
ed school work for players
and professors gave pass-
ing grades for little or no
work.
The programs drug
policy was selectively
enforced, allowing some
star players to go unpun-
ished for repeated positive
tests.
Some members of a
hostess program used by
the football coaching staff
during the recruitment
of players had sex with
recruits.
LSUcoachLes Miles was
head coach at Oklahoma
State from 2001-04, when
the program began to
emerge from years of
mediocrity. Current coach
Mike Gundy took over in
2005 and the Cowboys
have grown into a Big 12
power.
Oklahoma St. braces

PENN STATERS INTHE NFL: WEEK 1 ROUNDUP
NASCAR did not adjust
the standings to put
Gordon into the Chase
he was in before Bowyers
spin because Helton
said it was impossible to
address all the scenarios.
We know from expe-
rience, if you try to look
at ripple effect, you cant
cover all bases thats equi-
table and credible across
board, said Helton, who
also said NASCAR was
unable to prove Bowyer
spun intentionally. Theres
a lot of chatter, but we
didnt see any conclusive
evidence.
Gordons reaction
Monday night focused on
Truex, who did nothing
to land in his teammates
mess, and Bowyer, who
escaped unscathed.
Feel bad for Truex. He
got in under controversy
now out due to it. But the
guy who started all of this
not effected at all??? Dont
agree! Gordon posted on
Twitter.
Bowyer denied Saturday
night he intentionally spun
and Truex was an unwit-
ting participant. There was
silence from MWR ofcials
until Waltrip tweeted after
NASCARs announcement.
This wasnt a master
plan or about a spin. Its
about a split-second deci-
sion made by Ty to try to
help a teammate. I stand
by my people, he posted
on Twitter.
The controversy sur-
rounding Saturdays race
put a damper on Newmans
Monday announcement
that he had reached a deal
with Richard Childress
Racing to replace Jeff
Burton next season in the
No. 31 Chevrolet.
What happened to
me Saturday night is the
toughest thing that Ive
ever gone through in any
kind of racing in my 30
years of driving because of
the way everything went
down, Newman said. I
knew this announcement
was coming, but in the end,
I dont think its anything to
compare or contrast or say
that the positive outweighs
the negative or even com-
pensates for it.
Now Newman gets the
chance to compete for the
title in his nal races with
Stewart-Haas Racing. He
won the Brickyard this
year and has 17 career vic-
tories overall.
Obviously, were very
pleased with NASCARs
decision to provide Ryan
Newmans rightful place in
this years Chase, SHR co-
owner Tony Stewart said

Nadal
From page 1B
switching from defense to
offense in a blink proved
that while he says he still
feels pain in that leg, he def-
initely does not have prob-
lems moving around.
These are the same two
who played the longest
Grand Slam nal in history,
a nearly six-hour struggle
that left both needing to
sit in chairs during the cer-
emony after Djokovics vic-
tory at the 2012 Australian
Open.
This time, when it ended
with a forehand into the
net by Djokovic, Nadal
dropped to his back on the
court, saluted by an Arthur
Ashe Stadium crowd that
included the Queen of
Spain.
Nadal was relentless
from shot to shot, yes, and
from point to point, too,
but what might have been
most impressive was the
way he stayed steady when
Djokovic recovered from
a rough start and began
asserting himself.
At the outset, Djokovic
was his own worst enemy
on many points, a touch
or two off the mark. Nadal
claimed 12 of the last 14
points in the rst set, with
Djokovic looking almost
bored.
The world saw this
sort of listless, lackluster
Djokovic two months ago
in the nal at Wimbledon,
where Nadal had exited a
Grand Slam tournament
in the opening round for
the only time in his career.
That time, Djokovic went
through a difcult semi-
nal at 4:43, the longest
in Wimbledon history
and barely put up much
resistance in a straight-set
loss to Andy Murray two
days later.

When it comes to
managing our health, we all
know its a numbers game.
We count calories, watch our
weight and track how many
miles we run. We obsess
about the stats that keep us
fit but are clueless about the
kinds of numbers that reveal
how healthy or unhealthy
we truly are.
These are simple things
for us to look at, said Dr.
David Delaney Elsner, a
family physician at the
HealthEast Roseville (Minn.)
Clinic. Being aware of these
things sooner rather than
later can be very helpful
for preventing long-term
problems.
In these digital times,
checking your blood pressure
and body mass index has
never been easier. There are
blood-pressure apps and
even home monitors you
can hook up to your iPhone.
Online calculators for BMI
and kiosks at pharmacies
and grocery stores make it
convenient to get readings.
Still, health experts
recommend a physical
exam once a year, at which
time these very important
numbers can be discussed.
What you need to know
Want to take charge of
your health? Get to know
these five barometers of
wellness:
Blood pressure: less than
120/80
What it is: Measures the
pressure of blood flowing
through your arteries. Think
of it as a garden hose, said
Tasha Gastony, a physicians
assistant at the Park Nicollet
Clinic in Eagan. The higher
the pressure, the more risk
there (is for) damage to that
blood vessel and damage to
the organs that those vessels
feed.
Why its important:
People with high blood
pressure often dont feel
any symptoms. Untreated
high blood pressure, over
time, greatly increases the
chances of having a stroke,
heart disease or kidney
failure.
Total cholesterol: below
200 mg/dL
What it is: This number
is a combination of high-
density lipoproteins (HDL),
low-density lipoproteins
(LDL) and other fats in your
blood.
Why its important: If
theres too much cholesterol
in your blood, it keeps
circulating and that bad
cholesterol can eventually
enter the blood-vessel walls.
A buildup of fatty deposits in
the arteries can block blood
flow.
Fasting blood sugar: less
than 100 mg/dL
What it is: Tells you what
the sugar content is in your
blood.
Why its important:
Helps screen for diabetes.
BMI: less than 25
What it is: Stands for
body mass index. Its a
formula that takes your mass
(in kilograms), divided by
height (in meters squared). It
helps determine if youre at a
normal weight, underweight,
overweight or obese.
Why its important:
People who are overweight or
obese are at a much higher
risk for health problems
such as high blood pressure,
coronary vascular disease,
diabetes, obstructive
sleep apnea and arthritis.
A BMI thats under 18.5 is
considered underweight and
might indicate an eating
disorder.

Why its important:
People with large waistlines
have too much abdominal

Multitasking meets its enemy in tai-chi
Even if she didnt have arthritis,
Romaine Stout said, shed want to
sign up for the new series of tai chi
classes Mark Reinhart is teaching at
the Irem Clubhouse in Dallas.
Taking the class has made me
more calm, she said. Im a goer,
and this slows you down a bit. It
makes you relax. Its a benefit just to
slow things down.
Stout, 60, of Plains Township,
who does have arthritis in her neck
and lower back, has taken previous
classes with Reinhart and enjoyed
them so much she returned for last
weeks introduction to a Tai Chi
for Arthritis program hell lead on
Wednesday afternoons through Dec.
18.
This is part of our Healthy Aging
Series, said Joy Hubshman, director
of sales and marketing at Masonic
Village in Dallas. You dont have
to live here (to take the class.) You
dont have to be a member. We want
people to see us as a resource.
Another returning student,
71-year-old Margaret Kistler of Lake
Silkworth, said she appreciates the
way Reinhart advises people to keep
their bodies in alignment.
One of the best tips he gave us is
to keep your ears over your shoul-
ders, for good posture, she said.
Thats better advice than the stand
up straight they tell kids.
The slow, smooth movements of
tai chi, which began as a martial art
thousands of years ago in China, do
good things for your body and mind,
whether or not you have arthritis,
Kistler said. I like the way we learn
about Chinese meditation and cul-
ture, too.
Chinese philosophy runs counter
to the American tendency to hurry
and attempt to do several things
simultaneously, Reinhart said as he
began his introduction. If you want
to get more stuff done, slow down,
he said. None of this multi-tasking
nonsense.
As he demonstrated a sequence

Rare form of early-onset Alzheimers colors a familys life through the generations
AUSTIN, Texas Alzheimers disease has
stalked Paula Acosta Marks of Austin, Texas,
since birth, and now she knows: She will be
the last member of her immediate family left
to remember what it did to them.
Alzheimers first attacked her mother, whose
death in 1982 was attributed to a form of mad-
cow disease. Paula was just 5. Now, she is
watching her two older sisters, ages 38 and 48,
lose their memories to the same rare, inherited
form of Alzheimers disease.
Paula, 36, doesnt have the genetic mutation
that is certain to cause Alzheimers. She is the
main caregiver to her unmarried 38-year-old
sister, Lori Acosta, and copes with the sad-
ness of losing her, bit by bit, by living in the
moment and celebrating their time together.
Dont waste a day, she said. Tell people
you love them, every day.
At a time when Americans are living longer,
Alzheimers is considered an epidemic and one
of medicines most daunting puzzles.
Experts predict a nearly threefold increase in
diagnoses by 2050. Today, early-onset patients
those younger than 65 represent 200,000
of the 5.2 million who have Alzheimers dis-
ease.
The very early-onset Alzheimers in Paulas
family shows the disease at its cruelest. It
steals the lives of adults in their prime their
30s and 40s. It devastates caregivers.
But it is also a focus of researchers who
hope to answer a burning question: If a person
destined to get Alzheimers receives a drug
therapy before symptoms emerge, can the dis-
ease be prevented in all kinds of patients or, at
least, forestalled?
If one could intervene earlier, you would be
able to exert a much stronger effect at delay-
ing the disease, said Dr. Clifford Jack Jr., a
professor of radiology at the Mayo Clinic, in a
written statement.
Paula has enrolled in a study of early-onset
Alzheimers conducted by the Easton Center for
Alzheimers Disease Research at the University
of California, Los Angeles. Researchers want
to learn how Alzheimers disease works, and
families affected by one of three gene muta-
tions, like Paulas, can provide important clues.
In most ways, its the same disease regard-

chi.

of tai chi movements that
looked like a graceful,
choreographed dance,
Reinhart said its best to
do them slowly.
Some people call this
a moving meditation, he
said.
It looks hard, one
woman commented.
But youll have 15
weeks to learn that, one
of the returning students
assured her.
Tai chi is based on
the Chinese philosophy
of qi, Reinhart said,
explaining qi is a kind
of life energy that flows
through the body. If
qi is flowing correctly,
you have good health. If
its blocked or if theres
an excess you can have
problems. What we want
to do is get the body back
to what I call our factory
settings.
Reinhart has been
studying Chinese arts
since the 1960s, appre-
ciating its balance and
understanding of the
cyclical, as depicted in
the yin-yang symbol.
But he still appreci-
ates Western medicine as
well.
If Im in a car acci-
dent and my kidneys are
hanging out, take me
to an emergency room,
not an herbalist, he
said. But for mainte-
nance, for prevention,
for staying healthy, thats
where Chinese philoso-
phy comes in observe
nature and live according
to your observation.
After he led the
dozen or so participants
through a warm-up exer-
cise, Reinhart pointed
out how the task had
commanded their atten-
tion. You werent think-
ing about anything else,
were you? he said. You
werent thinking, What
should I have for dinner
tonight? or Did I pay
the cable bill?
In most ways, its the
same disease regardless
of onset, said Dr. John
Ringman, a clinical profes-
sor of neurology involved
in the study. Thats why
the study, which contin-
ues to enroll patients, is
so important, he said.
Previous trials that
focused on people who
already have symptoms
failed because the inter-
vention was too late. But
with new tools, including
brain scans, researchers
are hoping to prevent the
disease before symptoms
appear.
Treatment isnt part of
the study Paula is involved
in, Ringman said, but he
and the other research-
ers in the Dominantly
Inherited Alzheimer
Network, or DIAN study,
hope it will inform future
therapies.
Paula, a newly gradu-
ated registered nurse, has
the same hope. She also
hopes her familys story
will raise awareness about
the study and about early-
onset Alzheimers.
You can get real angry
about this, but if you give
back, you get a little con-
trol, she said.
Paula doesnt ques-
tion why her family has
been so deeply affected
by Alzheimers disease.
Its the roll of the genetic
dice, she said, sitting
on a couch in the small
South Austin duplex she
shares with husband,
Barton Marks, 42, and
their 2-year-old daughter,
Joslyn.
The numbers
Children of a par-
ent with early-onset
Alzheimers have a
50-50 chance of inherit-
ing the disease. Paulas
20-year-old niece, Taylor
Critendon, isnt sure she
wants to be tested. Her
mother, Pam Critendon,
can no longer talk and
doesnt always know who
Taylor is. Getting tested
is something I think
about every day, Taylor
said, but Im not ready
right now.
As Loris main care-
giver, Paula never has
enough time for her
husband, daughter and
sisters, not to mention
herself. She makes count-
less calls seeking help for
Lori; Medicare will pay
for drugs and doctor vis-
its starting this month.
And she makes sure she
visits Lori every day or
has someone else lined up
to come.
At times, she struggles
with survivors guilt. At
other times, Paula feels
blessed, she said, hugging
Joslyn. The Alzheimers
trouble has slowed her
down, shown her whats
important in life and made
her grateful for all she has,
she said: Theres been a
lot of tragedy in my life,
but Im so lucky to have
a great husband, a great
daughter and all of these
wonderful things.
In the past four years,
she has pieced together
her familys unusual genet-
ic destiny. Her mothers
death is no longer mys-
terious. Barbara Acosta
started showing signs of
memory loss at age 38,
before Paula was born,
she said. Two or three
years later, the mother of
three girls and an adopted
son was moved to a nurs-
ing home.
Paula has no memory
of her mothers presence,
only a gnawing sense of
absence.
Her mothers death cer-
ticate says she died from
a rare and fatal brain dis-
order, Creutzfeldt-Jakob
encephalitis, Paula said.
Her father, Pete Acosta,
coped with the loss by
drinking, Paula said.
Two-and-a-half years
after her mother died,
Pete Acosta was dead
from a heart attack at age
52. Pam, then 20, became
the sole parent to Paula,
then 8, Lori, 10, and
David, 16.
With Social Security
benets and a trust their
father had set up, they
were able to stay in the
family home. Pam married
her high school sweet-
heart, Kevin Critendon,
and he became a father
to the three younger chil-
dren.
At 17, Paula moved
into an apartment with a
friend. She attended the
University of Texas, as
well as Austin Community
College, on and off for six
years. When she was 19,
her brother, who had been
depressed, killed himself.
Death is one thing,
but it (kept) happening
to these young people,
she said. I didnt know
anyone who grew old and
died. Not even her par-
ents.
Five years ago, Paula
and Barton were plan-
ning their wedding when
Barton noticed something
was wrong with Pam, then
a schoolteacher. Shes
telling a story and, every
sentence, there was a
word she couldnt remem-
ber, he said.
Lori also noticed. Im
worried about Pam, she
told Paula.
Lori and Paula had been
relieved after Pam turned
38, the age at which their
mother began losing her
memory. The two had
long suspected something
else something genetic
had killed their moth-
er. They hoped they were
wrong.
I thought she was hav-
ing mini-strokes, Barton
said of Pam. I was freaked
out and said, She has got
to go to the doctor. Right
now.
The tests conrmed
Paulas and Loris fears:
Pam had Alzheimers.
The diagnosis came in
February 2009.
I remember thinking,
Thats the worst thing
that could happen, said
Taylor Critendon, who
was 16.
Paula gured out that
her mother must have had
Alzheimers and started
to wonder: Did she have
it, too?
The anxiety of not
knowing was causing
me anxiety, Paula said.
Every time I tripped on
a word, I was worried. It
didnt matter to Barton.
I was afraid she was
going to get sick, but
there never was a doubt I
was going to marry her,
he said. There was no
way I was going to leave
her. They married in
May 2009.
Paula spent every
Monday with Pam for
four years. We did all
these bonding things. She
helped me shop for my
wedding dress. She helped
me through the pregnan-
cy, and we shopped for
Joslyns rst outt, Paula
said
In February 2011, Pam
had a genetic test con-
rming that she had the
rare, familial form of the
disease. And then Paula
noticed her other sister,
Lori, was acting strangely.
Lori lost her job as
a massage therapist in
2010 and was having a
hard time nding work.
Her personal life was a
jumble of unpaid bills
and unstable boyfriends.
Lori had been savvy on
Facebook, but now she
couldnt ll out an online
job application. She didnt
have health insurance and
couldnt pay her rent. She
resisted Paulas insistence
that she see a doctor.
Nobody wanted to
believe she was sick,
Paula said. She was only
36. Lori made excuses
for her problems but later
confessed: She didnt
want to know. She said,
If I know, Im going to kill
myself, Paula recalled.
Lori nally went to Dr.
Ronald DeVere, an Austin
neurologist, in June 2012.
She was the youngest
patient he had ever seen
with Alzheimers, he said.
Paula also got tested
in January 2012 as part
of the DIAN study in
which she is enrolled. She
waited a long three weeks
for the results. When she
heard she didnt have
the gene, I immediately
started crying, she said.
I jumped up and grabbed
Barton and Joslyn. The
news also meant Joslyn
wouldnt inherit the dis-
ease.
Lori is losing her abili-
ties quickly, and psychi-
atric problems which
occur in some Alzheimers
patients have emerged.
Such an aggressive course
is more common in early-
onset disease and has
been distressing to Paula.
If Lori feels paranoid or
anxious which can
happen in loud, crowded
places Paula will usher
her out.
You have to be
extremely exible and
very patient, Paula said.
Lori lived with Paula
and Barton in July, but
she moved to an assisted-
living home early this
month. It was too hard
being around an energetic
toddler.
Living with Paulas
family was really good,
Lori said earlier this
month, but I hated it
sometimes. Paula lives
modestly and pays for a
second caregiver for Lori,
who is unable to work or
care for herself, in addi-
tion to paying for a chunk
of Loris living expenses.
When DeVere rst saw
Lori, he said, she scored
an 11 out of 30 points
on a cognitive test. Last
month, she scored an
8. Barton said he sees
declines from week to
week.
Paula sees Lori almost
every day and takes her
swimming, out to eat and
for walks. Shes not sure
how she will juggle that
once she starts a new job
next month as a full-time
hospital nurse, but she is
determined that Lori have
the best quality of life pos-
sible.
As Paula has watched
Pam decline, she cries
when she thinks about
Loris future. Lori has
struggled all of her life,
but she still had big plans.
She wanted to nd love.
She wanted to get mar-
ried again. She wanted to
travel. She wanted to get
a new career, Paula said.
Now she wont have any
of that. Instead, Lori will
soon need a more restric-
tive environment. When
am I going to take every-
thing away? Paula asked.
I have guilt over taking
all of her freedoms away
while I get to have the
love of my life and a beau-
tiful daughter.
Paula knows she cant
avoid it: These is no else
but me. I am IT for her.
She holds back tears and
continues, I have to talk
about things. I have to
see the positivity. She
will leave this Earth, and
I know we will have said
all of these things that
we needed to say to each
other. That tightened
bond with Lori and Pam
are bright spots, Paula
said. So is the DIAN
study. All of the tragedies
in her life have brought
her to this moment. She
knows and appreciates
what is most important:
life, love, family. She has
learned to live in the
moment, she said, and
now, she can make peace
with Alzheimers.
All of this colored my
life, Paula said, in a
beautiful way.

WHAT ITS ABOUT:
As the sixth season begins,
SAMCRO (the motorcycle
club) is in disarray. Tara
Knowles (Maggie Siff)
and Clay Morrow (Ron
Perlman) are in jail; treacher-
ous Gemma Morrow (Katey
Sagal) is watching over Taras
kids, and Jackson Jax Teller
(Charlie Hunnam) is club
president and trying to make
sense of the chaos he has
inherited.
MY SAY: At the end of
Tuesday nights opener, a
boy probably 12 or 13
calmly removes a high-caliber
semiautomatic from his back-
pack, then walks into his
school and opens re.
You dont see the slaughter
(thats what imagination is
for), but youdohear theshots
inrapidsuccession, thebursts
of light on the windows from
the muzzle, a teacher scream-
ing, Oh my God. Kids are
killed. That is obvious.
With the rst anniversary
of the Newtown shootings
three months away, the hor-
ror of that day remains fresh,
but until now, TV has mostly
pretended nothing ever hap-
pened.
The on-screen mayhem
continues. So, why of all
shows, is SOA the one to
break the embargo? Id like
to think its to confront that
monkey on its back. SOA,
typically among TVs bloodi-
est hours, has longbeenimpli-
cated in Americas culture of
violence that images, as
well as actions, may have real-
world consequences. Asked
about the opening episode at
the recent press tour, creator
Kurt Sutter said, There is a
lot of blood and guts in my
show, nothing is done gratu-
itously.
In this instance, it eventu-
ally becomes clear the kid
got the gun from SAMCRO,
which speaks to the larger
paradox that Jax has long
puzzled over: Can he be a
goodfather tohis kids yet also
a murdering thug? (Amazing
that we knowthe answer, but
he doesnt.)
How to gauge SOA this
or any season is tough. The
acting is rst-rate, and so
is the writing, but the vio-
lence is appalling, and not
just appalling, but creatively
appalling.
Tonights hour is pretty
much what youd expect,
but Id also like to think this
genuinely smart show, which
wraps next season, is offering
a larger moral:
That no one and nothing
exist in a vacuum. Not even
TVshows.
NEW YORK After
the crossfire, CNNs
new debating crew plans
a Ceasefire.
The network res-
urrected its old
Crossfire political
debate show Monday.
CNN Washington
Bureau Chief Sam Feist
said Friday that toward
the end of every show,
combatants will search
for ways they can find
common ground on
an issue in a segment
called Ceasefire.
The long-running
Crossfire has been
off the air since 2005,
in part driven away
because of ridicule by
Comedy Centrals Jon
Stewart. The new ver-
sion has Newt Gingrich,
S.E. Cupp, Stephanie
Cutter and Van Jones as
rotating hosts, debating
one issue per night on
the 30-minute show.
Feist said the show
will not be taped before
a live audience, as it was
in its final incarnation.
This should add to
the depth of the conver-
sations and offer less
temptation for debat-
ers to go after cheap
applause lines, he said.
If we degenerate into
shouting and yelling at
each other, then we will
have failed the country,
said Gingrich, the for-
mer House speaker, who
will argue the conser-
vative view along with
Cupp.
While political argu-
ments arent exactly for-
eign to cable news, the
Crossfire team sug-
gested their show would
stand out because its an
unscripted attempt to
fairly present two sides
of an issue.
With Fox News
Channel appealing pri-
marily to conservatives
and MSNBC to liber-
als, much of the content
on those networks is
designed to satisfy the
base, said Cupp, a for-
mer MSNBC commenta-
tor.
Most of the debates
are not fair fights, she
said.
Viewers are tired of
cheap debates but they
are hungry for deep
debates, said Jones, a
former Obama adminis-
tration official who will
take the liberal side with
Cutter, who worked in
Obamas campaign.
Theyve been practic-
ing, and Gingrich said
learning the nuances
of cutting short dis-
cussions and taking
commercial breaks has
been tougher than he
thought; it wasnt some-
thing he had to worry
about as an interview
guest.
The show airs at 6:30
p.m. ET Mondays.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
75-year-old man who
lives in a gated com-
munity. I have been
seeing a woman who
lives nearby. We are
starting to fall in
love.
Our problem is her 95-year-old
mother, who lives with her. Her mom
is pretty healthy and has some mon-
ey, but shes scared to be left alone.
Because of this, my lady and I have
difficulty finding private time.
We get out for short periods, but
wed like to go away for a weekend to-
gether. If we suggest it, Mom makes a
stink and gets nasty with her daugh-
ter. We have tried talking with her
about it, but she refuses, sulks and
wont talk for days.
Shes suffering from slight demen-
tia, but gets around OK with a walker.
Mom claims she doesnt want or need
a grandma sitter. She wants only
her daughter to take care of her. Any
help would be appreciated.
Courting Trouble in Arizona
Dear Courting: If your lady friend
wants to have any life of her own, she
will have to stiffen her spine and deal
with Mama. This includes not allow-
ing her mothers sulking to prevent
the two of you from having an occa-
sional weekend together.
She should contact assisted-living
facilities in the area and find out if
they will accept guests for short stays
of only a few days or a week. If the
answer is yes, Mama should be of-
fered a choice: Either someone comes
to stay with her while youre gone,
a friend perhaps, or she will have to
stay elsewhere because being alone is
not an option.
Dear Abby: My brother died earlier
this year due to an overdose. His wife
and one of my sisters lived with him.
They also gave him the drugs that
caused his death.
Abby, they are treating Mom, my
husband and me like dirt. Mom had
no say in the funeral at all. You would
think that since she was the mother,
the wife would have included her.
They have been having parties ever
since the funeral and spending the
money left and right, while not pay-
ing the mortgage on the house.
They have turned my other sister
against us, blocked us on social media
and cut us off completely. They also
turned another part of the family
against us. I know it involves drug
abuse on the part of all of them. We
didnt do anything to them other than
bring forth evidence of what they did
and confront them.
I have no idea how to trust or to
build a relationship with them again
if they ever decide to come back into
our lives. Any advice?
Brokenhearted in Tampa, Fla.
Dear Brokenhearted: Im sorry for
your loss, but please recognize that
when relatives are as dysfunctional as
yours, its safer for you, your husband
and your mother to MOVE ON. And
if they do decide to come back into
your lives, run the other way.
Dear Abby: Are there any topics you
wont touch with a 10-foot pole?
Just Wondering
Dear Wondering: None come to
mind. At one point or another, this
column has addressed darn near
everything and may have offended
almost everyone.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Couple wanting some private time must stand up to sulking mother
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Dont
let yourself get attached to an
interaction going any certain
way. This isnt a movie, and your
happy ending does not hinge on
a single interaction playing out
in one particular way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youre
being a bit careful about how
you present yourself. Just know
that you will have to reveal a bit
about yourself if you want others
to let down their guard and do
the same.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
be making a pitch of some kind.
Dont forget to ask for what you
want. Once you state your inten-
tion, people will either support
you or opt out. Either way, your
time will not be wasted.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Class
is not money, and money is not
class. Ideally, youll learn and
grow and have plenty of both.
For now, determine which you
have more of and then work on
the lacking area for a while.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beware of
the tendency to spend unneces-
sarily now. Its a good time to cut
something out for the sake of
living within your means.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Are you
being too hard on yourself? How
far should you push yourself
for optimal strength, health and
happiness? Your tendency is to
go too far, and today youll
benefit from pulling back.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Marcel
Proust said that the only para-
dise is paradise lost. He under-
estimated your ability to know a
good thing when its happening.
You will revel in todays slice of
heaven.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In order
to fully accept yourself, you must
first consciously realize what it is
youre rejecting. Certain notions
you have about yourself are so
ingrained that you wont notice
them until someone points them
out to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Use good judgment in deciding
when to try to influence oth-
ers and when to stay out of it.
People indulging their prejudices
dont want to be confused with
facts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your
smile is your best accessory, and
youll wear it from day into night.
When your mood dips, the flex-
ing of a few facial muscles will
improve things immensely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Other
peoples belief systems may not
match yours, but that doesnt
make them wrong. The only
steadfast rule is that there are
no steadfast rules. Being flexible
will serve you well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Cats
and terriers can smell the rats
they cant see, and you have
something in common with
these perceptive beasts today.
State your suspicion, and it will
be confirmed.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 10).
Whats better than doing work
you enjoy with people you love?
Youll find out in the span of
four weeks. October brings a
change in the friendship circle.
November sees you entrusted
with a responsibility, as well as
with the key to someones heart.
Cancer and Leo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 30,
14, 2, 35 and 47.
