He has still yet to coach a
game for Penn State, but
Bill OBrien has already
received
his first
contract
exten-
sion.
Its just not the way he
would have liked to have
earned it.
Speaking on ESPNs Mike
and Mike in the Morning
show on Wednesday,
OBrien said his contract
called for an automatic
extension in the event of
NCAA sanctions stem-
ming from the Jerry
Sandusky scandal. The
extension is equal to the
length of the penalties.
That means OBriens
original five-year deal
instead runs for nine
years, through the 2020
season. On Monday, the
NCAA imposed a postsea-
son ban and scholarship
reductions that will last
for spans of four years.

some consider one of the three most
important advancements in surgery

Dudrick, who has a long list of

he thinks his greatest accomplish-

Nardones quest to buy some
unusual real estate was ful-
filled with his pending pur-
chase of two Susquehanna
River islands.
I wanted to acquire some-
thing unique, and this was a
rare opportunity to buy
unique property, Nardone
said.
Luzerne County officials
thought the islands would end
up in limbo when they failed
to sell at a first-stage, back-tax
auction last fall because of
construction restrictions and
flooding.
We didnt think there
would be any takers, said
county tax claim operator
John Rodgers, of Northeast
Revenue Service LLC.
A subsequent news article
about the islands piqued the
interest of Nardone and oth-
ers, officials said. Two other
potential buyers surfaced for
one of the islands in the Moca-
naqua section of Conyngham
Township.

POLICE BLOTTER
WASHINGTON -- In a politi-
cal gamble that will reverberate
through the November cam-
paigns, the Senate approved
President Barack Obamas plan
to give tax breaks to all but the
top 2 percent of American tax-
payers over the objection of Re-
publicans.
Democrats believe Wednes-
days actionwill shift the debate
in a Congress that has been
stalemated by partisan inac-
tion, giving momentumto Oba-
mas proposal - and drawing a
contrast with Mitt Romney, the
Republican presidential candi-
date - by sending it to the GOP-
led House. The Senate ap-
proved the measure 51-48, with
twoDemocrats joiningthe solid
Republican opposition.
Failure byCongress toextend
thetaxrates fromtheGeorgeW.
Bush administration would re-
sult in a tax increase on ordi-
nary Americans, a prospect that
poses enormous risk for both
parties.
At the same time, Democrats
rejected a Republican proposal
Wednesday, 45-54, to extend
the tax cuts for all Americans.
Two Republicans, Scott Brown
of Massachusetts and Susan
Collins of Maine, crossed party
lines to oppose the measure;
one Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor
of Arkansas, joined the GOP.
Emphasizing the importance
of Wednesdays vote, Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden made an unusu-
al appearance in the Senate to
preside over the session, which
provoked a spirited debate be-
tween party leaders in the usu-
ally cordial chamber.
"Republicans should not
force middle-class families off
their fiscal cliff to protect more
wasteful giveaways to million-
aires and billionaires," said Sen-
ate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev. "Were on the side of the
American people."
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McCon-
nell, the Republican leader, not-
ing the presence of Biden, re-
minded the chamber that he
and the vice president negotiat-
ed the 2010 deal that extended
thethen-expiringBushtaxrates
for two more years - until this
December.
McConnell said that Biden,
who under Senate rules was un-
able to engage indebate, should
be"grateful" hedoes not haveto
explain the difference in the
White Houses position be-
tween then and now.
"This is a debate I dont think
you would want to lead,"
McConnell said.
Democrats had been reluc-
tant in 2010 to raise taxes on the
wealthy, but many Democrats
had buyers remorse over the
deal they cut and the party is
playinghardball this year onthe
tax issue.
Senate passage of the tax
measure now puts pressure on
the House, where Speaker John
A. Boehner, R-Ohio, has set
votes for next week on the GOP
proposal.
Obama wants to preserve tax
rates at their current levels for
most Americans, but raise rates
on the wealthiest.
Senate passes Obama
tax cut plan, 51-48

Lupas case delayed
The case against attorney Anthony
Lupas, who is accused of running an
investment scam, will be delayed at
least four months pending a re-eval-
uation of his mental status by a psy-
chiatrist, one of his
attorneys said
Wednesday.
Attorney William
Ruzzo said Dr.
Richard Fischbein,
who was hired to
determine if Lupas
is competent to
stand trial, complet-
ed an initial exam, but wants to
reevaluate Lupas in four months
before issuing a final opinion.
Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, was
indicted in May by a grand jury on
charges he allegedly stole $246,000
from a client. Numerous other per-
sons have filed lawsuits against Lu-
pas, alleging they were also victi-
mized. Prosecutors have said they
are continuing to investigate those
claims.
Lupas remains free on bail, with the
condition he be confined to his home,
pending resolution of the case.

Firm sues arson suspect
An insurance company has filed a
complaint against a Berwick woman
charged with setting fire to a Co-
nyngham apartment building and
commercial complex, alleging
$11,834 in damages.
State Farm Fire and Casualty Co.
filed the suit recently in county
court against Gail Schneider, 43, for
the Sept. 5, 2010, fire, on behalf of
its client, Christine Falvello.
Schneider is charged with six
counts of arson and one count of
criminal mischief after police said
she set a fire at the former Lantern
Lane complex on Main Street. The
blaze destroyed four businesses and
four apartments.
Schneider is awaiting trial in coun-
ty court on the charges. The suit asks
for a total of $50,000 in damages

gram that could help offset
the cost of sending children to
private or other public
schools.
Businesses contribute mon-
ey to nonprofit entities creat-
ed to manage the scholar-
ships. The businesses get a
tax credit worth up to 90 per-
cent of the contribution.
Hazleton Area High School
and Hazleton Area Middle
School are on the list. In
Wilkes-Barre Area, GAR High
School and three elementary
schools Dodson, Kistler and
Heights-Murray are on the
list.
The state combined math
and reading test results in
2010-11 for each school and
determined which schools fell
in the bottom 15 percent
among high schools those
with an 11th grade and ele-
mentary schools.
The final list includes 414
schools from 74 districts in 38
counties. Charter schools and
career and technology centers
were not included in the cal-
culation. According to a press
release, this was done because
parents already have the
choice to send their children
to these educational entities.
A Times Leader analysis
published July 16 had found
the six local schools were at
risk of landing on the list.
That analysis also showed

BEAR CREEK VILLAGE A three-year fundrais-
ing effort helped with the purchase of the final piece
of a 139-acre tract of land protected from develop-
ment.
In June, the North Branch Land Trust acquired the
entire parcel for the purpose of conserving it for per-
petuity.
The trust Tuesday formally accepted the Bear
Creek Lakeview Preserve, adding to its more than
11,500 acres of protected land in eight counties.
Paul Lumia, executive director of the Kingston
Township-based trust, said the final 74 acres cost
$579,000, withthe state Department of Conservation
and Natural Resources contributing approximately
one quarter of the overall cost. Bear CreekVillage res-
idents raised the majority of funds to purchase the
land.
The preserve overlooks Bear Creek Lake and is
open to the public, Lumia said.
Were going to do a master plan, he added.
The preserve sits among thousands of acres of con-
served land and creates a greenway corridor vital to
the maintenance of many native plant and animal
species, according to Lumia.
The preserve was part of the original holdings of
businessman Albert Lewis, according to Lumia.
Lewis, who died in 1923, founded Bear Creek Vil-
lage and lived in what is known today as the Bisch-
wind inn along state Route 115.

WILKES-BARREHavingheard
from adults over the past three
months, the Rev. Michael Brewster
and others involved with the Build-
ing Bridges initiative will have the
opportunity tonight to listen to
kids onthecauses of youthviolence
in the city.
Junior high and high school-age
youths are invited to attend the 7
p.m. meeting at the Wyoming Val-
ley Catholic Youth Center at 36 S.
Washington St.
Before Tyler Winstead was fatal-
ly shot the night of April 5, he re-
portedly played basketball at the
CYC and walked to his Hill Street
home with a friend. The death of
the 14-year-old GAR student
spurred Brewster, the Rev. Shawn
Walker and city leaders into action
to develop a grass-roots communi-
ty initiative to identify issues lead-
ing to violence and come up with
solutions.
To date, mainly adults have at-
tended and offered their input at
meetings held throughout the city
as part of the initiative.
Brewster, of Mount Zion Baptist
Church, acknowledged that teen-
agers might have a totally different
take. We dont know what to ex-
pect with it, he said Wednesday
during a meeting with editors at
The Times Leader.
Neither does he knowhowmany
kids will attend. As an incentive,
gifts are being offered for attend-
ance and participation in the break-
out groups. The group whose idea
will be put into practice by the ini-
tiative will receive a Visa gift card
for eachparticipant. There alsowill
be gift baskets with coupons from
area businesses and restaurants.
From the information gathered
so far, three major issues have been
identified: drugs; parental involve-
ment and parenting skills, and eco-
nomic disparity.
Theres a lot of lack all around,
Brewster said.
The next step is to get more peo-
ple involved, outline short-term
and long-term objectives, and raise
funds through a startup nonprofit
organization created to address the
issues, he added. He estimated it
would take an initial $250,000 to
cover salaries for a full-time direc-
tor, administrative staff and seed
money for projects and programs.
If possible, the initiative wants to
have some programs ready by the
beginning of September to coinci-
de with the start of the school year.

Gene Stilp says he has always supported and
fought for the underdog in his career as a politi-
cal activist. Now he is hoping that voters and
donors will do the same for him.
The Democratic nominee in the
11th Congressional District,
Stilp, a Wilkes-Barre native who
now resides in Middle Paxton
Township near Harrisburg, said
his most recent financial report
depicting his campaign commit-
tees finances shows just how
much of an underdog he is.
From April 5 through June 30,
Gene Stilp for Congress reported
raising $12,079 and spending
$7,196. The campaign reported
entering July with $14,313 in the
bank. Conversely, his opponent,
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazle-
ton, reported 23 times the money
in the bank on July 1.
With $220,077 raised between
April 5 and June 30, the Lou Bar-
letta for Congress campaign com-
mittee moved closer to the $1 mil-
lion plateau for the 2011-12 election cycle. Ac-
cording to the financial report filed with the Fed-
eral Election Committee, the Barletta campaign
received $143,435 from individual donors and
$76,642 from political committees such as PACs.
With the newly reported income, the committee
has received $982,158 since the start of 2011.
Barlettas campaign spent $121,414 and report-
ed $335,910 cash on hand as of July 1.

FromApril 5,
three weeks be-
fore the pri-
mary, through
June 30, the
campaign
spent
$364,818, not
all of it on the
failed reelection campaign.
According to campaign re-
ports filed with the Federal Elec-
During his Democratic Party
primary election campaign ear-
lier this year, 10-term U.S. Rep.
Tim Holden repeatedly said the
least enjoyable part of his job
was asking for money to fund
his reelection efforts. Since he
lost in the primary to Moosic at-
torney Matt Cartwright, he
wont have to deal with that side
of the job again.
Now, instead of raising mon-
ey, the campaign committee
thats served him for so long,
Friends of Congressman Tim
Holden, has spent the past few
months giving cash away.
tion Commission, the Holden
campaign has been winding
down its cash, spending some
on office supplies, some on staff-
er salaries and some on phone
bills. But mostly, since the elec-
tion loss, its been sending mon-
ey to other campaigns or refund-
ing some donations to the peo-
ple, companies and political ac-
tion committees that
contributed.
Among those that received a
refund were: Blue Dog PAC, the
Carpenters Legislative Im-
provement Committee PAC,
Comcast Corp. PAC and Amer-
ican Crystal Sugar Co. PAC,
each of which were sent $5,000.
Plenty of Holden supporters
who stumped for him on the
campaign trail received dona-
tions to their campaign commit-
tees, including state Auditor
General Jack Wagner, state Rep.
Mike Carroll and U.S. Rep. Ste-
ny Hoyer of Maryland.
The campaign also sent
$1,000 to Holden as reimburse-
ment for mileage.
With more than five months
remaining in his term, Holden,
D-St. Clair, has no money re-
maining in his campaign coffers
but lists debts and obligations of
$1,178.41.
Another tidbit included in the
report is that the campaign
spent at least $161,000 on media
ad buys, handled by Joe Trippi
& Associates of Saint Michaels,
Md.
Cartwright will face Old
Forge resident Laureen Cum-
mings, the Republican nominee,
in the fall battle for a two-year
term to represent the 17th Con-
gressional District.
Cong. Holdens campaign committee spreading money around
By ANDREWM. SEDER
Holden
Stilp, unlike Barletta, also re-
ported debts and obligations
totaling $37,623. Penn Blue
Strategies, a political consult-
ing and campaign management
firm in Harrisburg, is owed the
highest amount at $24,500.
Stilp also loaned his own cam-
paign $2,300 and has not been
repaid.
Stilp, in a phone interview,
said hes well aware of the fi-
nancial disparity between the
two campaigns, and hes hop-
ing voters will realize it too
and relate to him and his cam-
paign and what he is trying to
do to try to change Washing-
ton.
What Im trying to do is
break up the stranglehold that
lobbyists have on Washing-
ton, Stilp said, noting that he
will not accept money from
many corporate political ac-
tion committees like Barletta
has.
Stilp did not report one dime
from any PAC, but he did re-
ceive money from donors who
live out of the district and out
of state. Only three of the 16 in-
dividual donors reside in the
11th District. Others hail from
New York, Maryland, Oregon,
Virginia, New Jersey and other
parts of Pennsylvania.
Stilp said he entered politics
expecting to be the financial
underdog and thats what I am
and what Im going to be. He
said hes proud that his donors
are individuals, not big busi-
ness or politically-backed com-
mittees.
Lance Stange Jr., Barlettas
campaign manager, said Stilps
report speaks for itself.
It doesnt surprise me that
people refuse to contribute to a
candidate that would continue
President Obamas policies
that have hurt our economy.
Lou Barletta enjoys support
from across the district and is
building his campaign organi-
zation every day because he
supports a pro-growth, pro-
jobs agenda that will get our
economy back on the right
track.

EPA: Dimock water is safe
T
he U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency said Wednesday it has
completed tests on drinking water in
the northeastern Pennsylvania village
of Dimock and has determined it is
safe to drink, despite the claims of
some residents who say it has been
polluted by gas drilling.
The EPA said in a statement it
doesnt plan further tests, and that
theres no need to provide residents
with alternative supplies of drinking
water.
The town became a focus in the
debate over hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking, when opponents of drilling
showed that some residents have been
able to light their tap water on fire
because of high levels of methane gas.
Some Dimock residents and anti-
drilling groups claimed that Houston-
based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. polluted
the local aquifer with methane and
toxic chemicals. They have disputed
earlier EPA findings that the water was
safe.
ANAHEIM, CALIF.
Mother condemns violence
The mother of a man who was shot
by Anaheim police officers has con-

killing, saying Wednesday that she did
not want them to become her sons
legacy.
I watched as my son took his last
breath. I watched as his heart stopped
beating for the last time, Genevieve
Huizar said, breaking into sobs.
Please, please, please stop the vio-
lence. Its not going to bring my son
back, and this is the worst thing any
mother could go through.
Her news conference followed a
fourth day of violent protests over
Saturdays police shooting of Manuel
Diaz and the Sunday death of another
man.

GOP rejects drill plan
In an election-year swipe at Presi-
dent Barack Obamas energy policies,
the Republican-led House has voted to
revoke the presidents five-year plan for
offshore drilling, replacing it with its
own plan calling for more ambitious oil
and gas development off the U.S. coast.
The legislation will likely go no-
where in the Senate and the White
House has issued a veto threat, but as
with the tax and regulatory bills the
House is also taking up this month, it
puts lawmakers on the record on the
issues that divide the two parties.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un

She is believed to be the same wom-
an who has been seen by the North
Korean leaders side during various
public events in recent weeks, includ-
ing a ceremony marking the 18th anni-
versary of the death of Kims grandfa-
ther, the nations founder, Kim Il Sung.
North Korean state media reported
that Kim, accompanied by Ri, attended
a ceremony marking the completion of
an amusement park in the capital of
Pyongyang on Wednesday.
The couple are thought to be in their
late 20s. Ri is believed to be a singer
who has performed in front of national

BEIRUT -- Syrian authorities were
sending reinforcements to strife-
torn Aleppo, opposition activists
said Wednesday, as outgunned re-
bels in the northern city tried to de-
liver a potentially decisive blow to
the government of President Bashar
Assad.
Street battles were ongoing in sev-
eral neighborhoods, including dis-
tricts close to the gates of the old
city, with government forces shell-
ing rebel-occupied quarters with ar-
tillery and helicopter gunships, the
activists said. Many residents had
fled or remained indoors in the city
of 2 million, they said.
Parts of Aleppo are "a ghost city,"
said one opposition activist in Alep-
po reached via Skype. "The people
are scared of going out in the
streets," noted the activist, who said
he had visited Salahuddin, said to be
under the control of rebels.
"There are destroyed buildings
there and injuries and deaths," said
the activist, who asked not to be
named for security reasons.
Residents reportedly have shut-
tered shops, and gasoline and bread
are in short supply. But neighbor-
hoods away from the fighting in the
sprawling city still retain some sem-
blance of normalcy, though many
people have left.
Video by a BBC crew in Aleppo
shows rebels setting up sniper posi-
tions in battered buildings, firing on
helicopters with a machine gun
mounted on a captured tank, and
rounding up men, presumably sus-
pected regime collaborators.
The Syrian government said its
forces in Aleppo had killed scores of
"terrorists," the official term for the
armed opposition. The state news
service accused insurgents of as-
saulting citizens and attacking prop-
erty in the al-Sakhour neighbor-
hood, which also was reportedly un-
der rebel control.
There was no definitive word on
casualties. Rebel medics were treat-
ing wounded in makeshift clinics,
which have sprung up in battle zones
across Syria during the uprising.
Insurgents called the attack on
Aleppo an all-out offensive that has
galvanized dozens of rebel brigades
from throughout northern Syria.
The fighters are seeking to wrest
control of the city and use it as a
base to expand their power in the
north, where they already have effec-
tive control of large swaths of terri-
tory.
"Aleppo now is the center of the
revolution," said another opposition
activist reached on the outskirts of
the city. "The liberation of Aleppo
means the fall of the regime."

DENVERAdadwhotookhis teen-
age children to the new Batman movie
and was killed when a gunman opened
fire on the theater was mourned
Wednesday, the first memorial service
for a victim of the shootings.
Fifty-one-year-old Gordon Cowden
was the oldest of the 12 people killed in
the massacre at the Dark Knight Ris-
es. His teenage children escaped un-
harmed.
Cowden lived in Aurora, the Denver
suburb where the theater is located. A
family statement described him as a
true Texas gentleman who loved the
outdoors and owned his own business.
A quick-witted world traveler with a
keen sense of humor, he will be remem-
bered for his devotion to his children
and for always trying his best to do the
right thing, no matter the obstacle, his
family said.
Carrying flowers and passing a large
portrait of Cowden, about 150 mourn-
ers gathered for the memorial at a Den-
ver church. ColoradoGov. JohnHicken-
looper paused at the photo before en-
tering the church.
The memorial was also attended by
Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan and Aurora
Police Chief Dan Oates.
Later this week, families of other vic-
tims planned to say their final goodby-
es.
Funerals were planned in towns from
San Antonio, home of aspiring sports-
caster Jessica Ghawi, to Crystal Lake,
Ill., hometown of Navy intelligence offi-
cer John Thomas Larimer.
Also Wednesday, residents of the
apartment building where shooting
suspect James Holmes lived were wait-
ing to see if they could return home five
days after the shooting.
The small building near the Universi-
ty of Colorado, Denver, medical cam-
pus was clearedas a precautionbecause
police said Holmes had booby trapped
his apartment with a trip wire, explo-
sives and unknown liquids.
Because many of the shooting vic-
tims have families outside Denver, au-
thorities have assigned each victims
family a communications officer to
keep them updated on the case.
Holmes is due in court next Monday.
Meanwhile, three hospitals taking
care of people wounded in the theater
shooting said Wednesday they will lim-
it or completely wipe out medical bills
for the victims.
Some victims, many of them young,
are uninsuredandface mounting hospi-
tal bills.
Childrens Hospital Colorado an-
nounced Wednesday it would use dona-
tions to cover the medical expenses of
the uninsured.
HealthOne, which owns the Medical
Center of Aurora and Swedish Medical
Center, also says it will limit or elimi-
nate charges based on the individual
circumstances of the patients.

NEW YORK Pioneering astro-
naut Sally Ride, who relished privacy
as much as she did adventure, chose
an appropriately discreet manner of
coming out.
At the end of an obituary that she
co-wrote with her partner, Tam
OShaughnessy, they disclosed to the
world their relationship of 27 years.
That was it.
As details trickled out after Rides
deathonMonday, it becameclear that
a circle of family, friends and co-work-
ers had long known of the same-sex
relationship and embraced it. For
many millions of others, whoadmired
Ride as the first American woman in
space, it was a revelation and it
sparked a spirited discussion about
privacy vs. public candor in regard to
sexual orientation.
Some commentators, such as
prominent gay blogger Andrew Sulli-
van of the Daily Beast, second-
guessed Rides decision to opt for pri-
vacy.
She had a chance to expand peo-
ples horizons and young lesbians
hope and self-esteem, and she chose
not to, he wrote. She was the absent
heroine.
Others were supportive of Rides
choices.
Episcopal BishopGene Robinsonof
NewHampshire, who in2003 became
the first openly gay bishop in the An-
glican world, noted that both he and
Ride were baby boomers whogrewup
in a time when coming out was al-
most unthinkable.
Robinson is 65. Ride was 61 when
she died of pancreatic cancer.
For girls whohadaninterest insci-
ence and wanted to go places women
had not been allowed to go, she was a
tremendous role model, Robinson
said Wednesday. The fact that she
chose to keep her identity as a lesbian
private I honor that choice.
However, Robinson said he had a
different standardfor younger gays
to the point of insisting that his own
clergy in New Hampshire be open
about their sexuality if they are gay or
lesbian.
While there is still discrimination
and coming out will still have reper-
cussions, the effect of those repercus-
sions are vastly reduced now, Robin-
son said. I believe that times have
changed.

WASHINGTON Relentless
GOP criticism of a 12-day-old re-
mark about business owners has tak-
en a campaign toll on President Ba-
rack Obama, forcing him to defend
himself and giving Republican Mitt
Romney a break fromsteady attacks.
The development has delighted
Republicans, who were eager to
shift the campaign focus from Rom-
neys tax returns, overseas assets
and Bain Capital record.
Acknowledging that the Republi-
cans criticisms were hitting a mark,
Obamas team rolled out two new
TV ads this week in which he em-
ployed for the first time what many
Democrats consider a powerful tool:
the president talking directly into
the camera and countering GOP
claims.
Those ads taking my words
about small business out of context
theyre flat-out wrong, Obama
says in the newest ad.
Democrats say the direct to cam-
era format plays to the presidents
strength, and they dont think Rom-
ney can match it. But like any strate-
gy deployed 15 weeks before Elec-
tion Day, it might lose some of its

American society, including private

WILKES-BARRE The city
continues to be the host of sever-
al road and construction pro-
jects, causing delays, detours
and inconveniences.
In recent months, motorists
have had to deal with unexpect-
ed changes to traffic patterns,
making travel more complicated
and frustrating.
For example, a portion of
Northampton Street, one of the
citys busiest roads, was repaved
Tuesday and closed to traffic
most of the day. And paving was
continuing Wednesday at Black-
man and Parrish streets.
Inconveniences are inevita-
ble whenever you take on these
infrastructure projects, but they
have tremendous long-term
gains to the city and the commu-
nity as a whole, saidMayor Tom
Leighton. Better roads and ac-
cess in and out of the city create
new investment opportunities
for private business, create jobs
both during the construction
and after, and it brings more peo-
ple intothe city toshop, dine and
live.
He said the orange cones, con-
crete barricades and flagmen are
all positivesigns of ahealthycity.
One of the major detours con-
tinues near the condemned Ster-
ling Hotel, where traffic is one
way into the city from the Mar-
ket Street Bridge and River
Street. Barricades blockone lane
to guard against falling debris
fromtheformer hotel that will be
demolished soon.
We hope to determine a dem-
olition contractor within the
next two weeks, said Drew
McLaughlin, the citys adminis-
trative coordinator. At that
point, we will coordinate a meet-
ing between city, county and
state officials to finalize the fi-
nancing of the project and pro-
ceed from there.
Coal Street realignment
Coal Street is being widened,
and the $12 million project is
nearing completion, McLaugh-
lin said.
As part of the Coal Street re-
alignment project, crews are cur-
rently working on the south side
of Coal Street installing new
curbs, sidewalks and (handicap)
ramps, McLaughlin said.
He said work continues on the
retaining walls on the north side
of Coal Street.
The project is scheduled for
fall completion and is about 70
percent finished now, he said.
Throughout the city, the K-
Route Paving Project is 60 per-
cent complete, McLaughlinsaid.
Crews are currently installing
base course blacktop on North-
ampton and Franklin streets and
should be finished with that this
week. New handicap ramps are
being installed on North Main
Street with milling and base
course to follow, McLaughlin
said.
Mid-August wrap-up
All K-Route work is scheduled
to wrap up by mid-August, and
McLaughlin said the project is
currently on budget and on time.
Its a $2.2 million project fund-
ed 80 percent by the state and 20
by the city, he said.
McLaughlin said more streets
will be paved through the citys
economic development depart-
ment. He said those streets will
be announced in the near future.
Other workinthecityincludes
the Court Street wall construc-
tion near the Courtright Hous-
ing Development. The project is
out for bid and should be fin-
ished by the fall.
As part of an agreement with
the city, Pennsylvania American
Water Co. is installingnewwater
mains and services on Grant
Street fromLehigh to South, and
from Hancock to Sherman; and
York Lane from Hancock to
Grant.
Once the installations are
complete these streets will be re-
pavedcurb to curb, McLaughlin
said.
PAWC replaced water lines on
River Street between Academy
andJacksonstreets andinstalled
temporary blacktop sidewalks.
The project is expected to be
completed sometime in August
and new sidewalks will be in-
stalled. The work is being done
and paid for by the water compa-
ny, said Butch Frati, the citys di-
rector of operations. There is no
cost to the city.
Frati said the water company
wanted to complete the line re-
placement this summer in ad-
vance of the River Street Corri-
dor Project that will calm traffic
in the busy area near the River
Common. That project is expect-
ed to begin in late 2013, Frati
said.
W-B projects still make travel complicated

Construction workers install curbs and sidewalks at the intersec-
tion of Union and North Main streets. WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man charged with assault-
ing and robbing a man outside
a city bar was found guilty of
several offenses Wednesday
by a Luzerne County jury, but
that jury deadlocked on the
most serious charge of rob-
bery.
Alex Frederick Kraynak, 25,
of Grant Street, was found
guilty of two counts of simple
assault and one count each of
resisting arrest and harass-
ment.
The jury deliberated
Wednesday for about 3 1/2
hours, and was deadlocked on
a felony charge of robbery,
causing a mistrial on that
charge.
Kraynak was charged in Au-
gust 2011 after police respon-
ded to a report of a man on the
ground being struck by two
men outside the Capri Bar on
Alter Street.
County Judge David Lupas
said Kraynak will be sen-
tenced on the four charges on
Sept. 21, and that a pre-trial
hearing will be held on Sept. 4
for the robbery charge.
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello, who prosecut-
ed the case, could elect to re-
try Kraynak on that charge.
Kraynaks attorney, Ed Ole-
xa, said in his closing argu-
ment that his client was at the
Capri Bar and noticed Daniel
Soto there.
Jurors learned through
Kraynaks testimony that a
fight erupted between the two
after Soto allegedly tried to
make advances on Kraynaks
girlfriend. Olexa said the fight
between the two was mutual,
and that if there was a robbery
involved in the incident, it
was poorly planned because
the two men were outside the
front entrance of a business.
Olexa said prosecutors did
not present enough evidence
to have his client convicted,
and that there was enough rea-
sonable doubt in the case to
acquit Kraynak.
Falvello said in her closing
argument that Kraynaks testi-
mony was a fantasy and that
his testimony was confusing
because he was lying and had
to remember what he said.
When youre telling the
truth, you dont have to re-
member what you said, Fal-
vello told jurors.
According to court papers,
when police arrived at the
scene around 1:30 a.m., Soto
was being assaulted by two
men. Kraynak was later identi-
fied by police, but the second
person was not.
Police chased Kraynak and
tried to take him into custody,
but he began to struggle and
tried to break free.
Soto told police that while
he was being assaulted, one of
the men repeatedly asked for
Sotos money.
He said he was continually
punched and kicked until po-
lice arrived.
Police said Soto received in-
juries to his face, knee and el-
bow.

Hot, muggy weather has raised con-
cerns among state environmental regula-
tors about the quality of the air in the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Area.
Starting Aug. 1, the Department of En-
vironmental Protectionwill beginissuing
ozone forecasts for the region.
According to department spokesman
Kevin Sunday, ground-level ozone forms
when pollution from vehicles, power
plants, industry andhomes interacts with
sunlight. Pennsylvanias air quality has
improved steadily over the past 10 years,
Sunday said, mainly due to reduced vehi-
cle emissions, better pollution controls
on power plants and air-quality regula-
tions. But humidity has held pollution
close tothe groundthis summer, andsun-
light has been plentiful.
What were now seeing more as a re-
sult of the weather patterns this year is
more ozone pollutants in the air, Sunday
said. Hopefully, this year is just an aber-
ration, but if that pattern continues in the
future we can continue this monitoring.
DEP had formerly forecast air quality
in five regions clustered around the Penn-
sylvanias largest metropolitan areas, and
Sunday said on Wednesday it would add
eight new regions to that list, Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton among them.
The forecasts will use the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agencys color-coded
air-quality indexscale, whichranges from
1 to 200. An index above 101 warns of un-
healthy pollution levels for the very
young, the elderly and those with respira-
tory problems, while levels above 151 in-
dicate a risk for everyone.
Poor air quality makes it harder to
breathe, and can trigger acute respiratory
symptoms like asthma attacks. Sunday
saidarea residents shouldavoidoverexer-
tion on high-ozone days.
You can maybe not take that five-mile
run in the morning when theres a lot of
pollution in the air, Sunday said. Maybe
you do that in the evening when ozone
levels are lower.
Residents can view the air-quality fore-
casts at the EPAs Airnow website,
www.airnow.gov, or signup for daily fore-
cast emails at www.enviroflash.info.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey wants the
federal government to provide
funding to put more natural gas
vehicles on roadways in Pennsyl-
vania and across the country.
Casey, D-Scranton, said
Wednesday he plans to intro-
duce a bill to create a Depart-
ment of Energy grant program
under which
states could ap-
ply for funding
for initiatives
that encourage
the use of natu-
ral gas as a fuel
and support
public and pri-
vate invest-
ment in natural gas vehicles and
transportation infrastructure.
The reality is that, unfortu-
nately, natural gas is still largely
untapped when you look at it
from the big perspective, Casey
said, adding that natural gas ve-
hicles account for less than a
tenth of a percent of vehicles on
Americas roads.
Casey said the programwould
provide flexibility for states in
different stages of natural gas de-
velopment. Pennsylvania has on-
ly 11 publicly accessible fueling
stations, for example, while the
comparably sized state of Okla-
homa has 60 and California has
140, according to the Depart-
ment of Energy.
The grants could be used by
states to fund infrastructure de-
velopment or to offer tax breaks
for the purchase of natural gas
fuels and vehicles, Casey said.
Casey formerly introduced the
FRACK Act seeking to federally
mandate disclosure of chemicals
used in the hydraulic fracturing
process used to extract gas from
shale plays like the Marcellus.
Casey said he is not abandon-
ing the FRACK Act, but he
noted passage is unlikely in the
short term due to lack of sup-
port, especially among Republi-
can senators.
He said he does not think en-
couraging the use of domestic
energy and protecting environ-
mental interests are incompati-
ble.
I have no doubt that we can
do this right, Casey said. That
we can take steps to protect our
water and our air but at the same
time not slow down that job cre-
ation. We dont have to make the
old false choices of the past,
where you have to choose jobs or
energy versus the environment.
We have to do both.

Man injured in fall into well
A man who was extricated from a pump house well at 61 Sorbertown Hill, Hunlock Town-
ship, is transported to an ambulance by emergency workers Wednesday afternoon. Hun-
lock Creek Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Chris Meeker said the worker, whose name was un-
available, slipped and fell into the approximately 5-foot-deep hole, and the property own-
er, who was nearby, called 911. The Luzerne County Technical Rescue Team was called in
and the roof of the pump house was removed to get equipment in. The extrication took

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
Five weeks ago, Jenn Gibbons
set off on 1,500-mile solo row-
ing journey around Lake Mi-
chigan to raise money for
breast cancer survivors, blog-
ging along the way about life
on the water. Police say some-
one following her well-chroni-
cled voyage from a distance
may have used the informa-
tion to do her harm.
A man broke in as Gibbons
slept in the vessels cabin, po-
lice say, andsexually assaulted
her while the boat was moored
along the shore in Michigans
Upper Peninsula. She is going
public about the ordeal, hop-
ing it helps catch the assailant
and sends a message of
strength to others who have
been assaulted.
Her dream of traversing the
lakes perimeter alone in a
boat is over, but shes contin-
uing the journey with a sup-
port team and partly on
land.
I dont really think its
changed me at all, she said
Tuesday in a phone interview
with The Associated Press,
which generally does not
name sexual assault victims
but is doing so in this case be-
cause Gibbons wanted to be
identified. Its made more
clear to me than ever that I
cant let things stop me from
achieving my goal.
Michigan State Police say
the assault happened around 4
a.m. Sunday as the craft was
moorednear thevillageof Gul-
liver on the lakes northern
shore.
He somehow got on the
boat. Theres a hatch, Sgt. Mi-
chael Powell said. He opened
it and gained entrance.
Investigators believe the at-
tacker, whomGibbons did not
know, may have traveled a
significant distance after fol-
lowing her movements on the
website, Powell said. The site
tracked her progress by satel-
lite and regularly updated her
location.
The assailant, described as
a man in his 30s, may have
been driving a bright yellow
Jeep Wrangler, police said. Its
spare tire had a yellow smiley
face cover. Police released an
artists sketch Wednesday.
They declined to release other
details, such as whether he
was armed and the vessels
precise location. State Police
spokeswoman Shanon Banner
said the agency does not typ-
ically comment about what
evidence has or has not been
collected during an ongoing
investigation.
Gibbons, 27, is co-founder
of Recovery on Water, a Chica-
go rowing organization for
breast cancer survivors. Its
based on the idea that exercise
can help prevent recurrence.
Woman assaulted on
rowing trip, cops say
By JOHN FLESHER
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas A military
judge said Wednesday that ac-
cused Fort Hood gunman Maj.
Nidal Hasan will be forcibly
shaved before his Aug. 20 court-
martial unless the Army psychia-
trist relents andagrees toremove
the beard he has grown over the
past two months.
Col. Gregory Gross, the judge,
also found Hasan to be in con-
tempt for violating Army groom-
ing standards and fined him
$1,000.
Gross and Hasan have been at
odds over the beard since June,
when Hasan appeared in court
with facial hair he said he grew
because of his Muslim faith. He
petitioned Army officials for a re-
ligious exemption to grow the
beard, but was rejected in late
June. Since he appeared with the
beard, Hasan has watched pre-
trial proceedings on closed-cir-
cuit television from a trailer out-
side the Fort Hood courtroom.
Hasan faces the death penalty on
13 counts of premeditated mur-
der and 32 counts of attempted
premeditated murder in the Nov.
5, 2009, mass shooting at
Fort Hood.
Army rules say prisoners
who refuse to shave "may be
restrained with the reasona-
bleforcenecessary" toapply
electric hair clippers and a
restraint chair may be used.
Also Wednesday, Gross said
he would review the classi-
fied version of a recently re-
leased report on the FBIs
failures tostopHasanbefore
the shooting, before decid-
ing whether it should be
provided to Hasans legal
team as part of the discov-
ery process. That review found
FBI agents dismissed emails be-
tween Hasan and an al-Qaida-
linked cleric as legitimate re-
search and balked at interview-
ingHasanbefore the shootingbe-
causetheythought it might harm
his Army career.

June.
The state does not give test
results for the schools on the
list, or rank them. But The
Times Leader analysis, which
looked at combined percent-
ages of students scoring profi-
cient or better on the two tests,
found both Hazleton Area and
GAR, while in the bottom 15
percent , scored better than
most in that range. In the analy-
sis, three of the six local ele-
mentary schools scored better
than most of those in the bot-
tom 15 percent.
Neither Wilkes-Barre Area
Superintendent Jeff Namey nor
Hazleton Area Superintendent
Francis Antonelli could be reac-
hed Wednesday afternoon, but
when interviewed about the
newspapers analysis results,
both said they would not be sur-
prised if some of their schools
ended up on the official state
list.
Namey said the difficulty in
Wilkes-Barre Area is the num-
ber one school district in the ar-
ea when it comes to transient
population. That complicates
things more than people want
to admit. Were testing a good
number of students that we nev-
er taught.
Antonelli noted the high
schools attendance zone is
the entire district, meaning stu-
dents already attending another
school such as MMI in Freeland
could theoretically be eligible
for a scholarship.
The law that created the pro-
gram limits scholarships in the
coming school year to $8,500
for a regular student and
$15,000 for a special-education
student. Students also must
have household income of no
more than $60,000, plus
$12,000 for each dependent
member of the household ap-
plying for a scholarship.
Schools must apply to partici-
pate in the program and receive
students with scholarships. Pri-
vate and public schools can par-
ticipate. Hazleton Area and
Wilkes-Barre Area now have 15
days to notify parents of chil-
dren in the low-achieving
schools of that status, and to
post information on the scholar-
ship program on their websites.

Prosecutors have not ruled out
additional charges against Cas-
trignano, of Kingston, despite
Castrignano waiving her right to
WILKES-BARRE Luzerne
County Assistant District Attor-
ney Mamie Phillips said Wednes-
day a search warrant was served
seeking cellphone records from
Danielle Castrignano.
Prosecutors are interested to
know if Castrignano, 20, was
talking on a cellphone or texting
when she allegedly struck Corey
Ryan, 20, as he crossed South
River Street in Wilkes-Barre on
June 15.
Ryan, confinedtoa wheelchair,
was with his girlfriend and
friends when he was struck, city
police said.
Ryan, of Wilkes-Barre, died in
Hospice Community Care in
Dunmore on June 29.
Phillips said Ryan recently
movedtoanapartment inWilkes-
Barre and was going to River
Common Park to view the Sus-
quehanna River when he was
struck.
a preliminary hearing in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court on Wednes-
day, Phillips said.
Police charged Castrignano
with accidents involving death, a
third-degree felony, and sum-
mary counts of careless driving
and reckless driving.
Castrignano, through her at-
torney, Peter Moses, waived the
felony charge and summary
counts to county court.
We havent made any decision
if any additional charges will be
filed or if we will withdrawal and
refile additional charges, Phil-
lips said. At this point, were an-
ticipating a (guilty) plea, but we
cant say for sure right now.
City police allege Castrignano
drove away after she struckRyan.
She surrendered to authorities
on June 16.
Castrignano told police she be-
lievedshe struck a shopping cart,
plaint.
Moses credited Castrignanos
surrender as a reason why her
bail was modified from $10,000
straight to unsecured, permitting
her release from jail. She is court
orderedto report daily to the Day
Reporting Center on unrelated
probation violations.
Moses saidthere have not been
any negotiations if Castrignano
will plead guilty.
Prosecutors have until the for-
mal arraignment scheduled on
Oct. 5 to withdrawal the charges
waived to county court.
Were not going to make a
commitment to what will hap-
pen, Moses said about the possi-
bility of Castrignano pleading
guilty. She has the opportunity
to succeed and get on the right
track. Whenwe get into the court
of common pleas, the DA office
and the victims family will see
that Danielle has done a lot of the
right things and has accepted re-
sponsibility for what she had
done.
Phillips and Moses said a con-
viction or guilty plea to the third-
degree felony carries a mandato-
ry one- to two-year prison sen-
tence.

Danielle Castrignano enters Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
Wednesday morning with her attorney, Peter Moses.
SCRANTON A federal
judge has granted a motion to
dismiss a lawsuit filed by a
teacher who was suspended af-
tershewasfalselyaccusedof as-
sault by several special-educa-
tionstudents.
Angela Kairo-Scibek of Ply-
mouth sued the Wyoming Val-
ley West School District in
2009, alleging her rights to due
process were
violated
when she
was suspend-
ed without
being givena
hearing to
address alle-
gations
made by
three students.
Police charged Kairo-Scibek
in December 2007 with several
counts of assault andendanger-
ing the welfare of children. The
chargeswerelater dismissedaf-
ter the students admitted they
fabricated the allegations. She
was reinstated as a teacher and
givenbackpay.
The districts attorney, Robin
Snyder of Scranton, filed a mo-
tion in November seeking to
dismissthesuit, arguingthedis-
trictwasnotrequiredtoprovide
Kairo-Scibek a pre-suspension
hearing because the serious na-
ture of the allegations required
it take immediate action.
U.S. DistrictJudgeEdwinKo-
sikonTuesday grantedthe mo-
tion, citing appellate court
cases that saidanemployeecan
be suspended without first be-
ing provided a hearing if ex-
traordinary circumstances ex-
ist.
Kairo-Scibek, ateacher, held
a position of great public trust
and high public visibility.
Therefore the district hada sig-
nificant interest inimmediately
suspending Kairo-Scibek once
she was charged, Kosiksaid.

HARRISBURG The first le-
gal test for Pennsylvanias tough
new voter identification law be-
gan Wednesday, with state law-
yers calling the measure a com-
pletely rational step, while oppo-
nents attacked it as an unneces-
sary, unjustified and partisan
scheme that will deprive count-
less people of their right to vote.
The law is the subject of a fu-
rious debate over voting rights as
Pennsylvania is poised to play a
key role in deciding the Nov. 6
presidential election. Republi-
cans say if GOP candidate Mitt
Romney wins Pennsylvania, then
President Barack Obama, a Dem-
ocrat, will lose the national elec-
tion.
Commonwealth Court Judge
Robert Simpson, who presided
over a packed courtroom, must
decide whether to block the law
from taking effect in this years
election as part of a wider chal-
lenge to its constitutionality.
The original rationale in Penn-
sylvanias Republican-controlled
Legislature for the law to pre-
vent electionfraudwill playlit-
tle role in the legal case since the
states lawyers have decided not
to make that argument and ac-
knowledged that they are not
aware of any incidents of in per-
son voter fraud. Instead, they
are trying to show that lawmak-
ers properly exercised their lati-
tude to make election-related
laws when they chose to require
voters to show widely available
forms of photo identification.
David Gersch, a lawyer for the
plaintiffs, told Simpson that the
law could make it difficult for
more than a million people to ex-
ercise their right to vote and that
justification to prevent elec-
tionfraudis a pretext. The real
purpose is for partisan advan-
tage, Gersch said.
That is not under any circum-
stances a compelling state inter-
est, Gersch told Simpson.
The first three plaintiffs to tes-
tify Wednesday were all older
women, minorities and Philadel-
phia residents who said they vote
regularly. But they have no valid
identification under the newlaw,
and they apparently dont have
the required documents a
birthcertificate, a Social Security
card and two proofs of residency
necessarytoget themost com-
mon kind, a state photo ID.
Wilola Lee, 60, is unable to get
a birth certificate from her birth
state, Georgia, which apparently
has no record. Viviette Apple-
white, 93, who recalled marching
with Martin Luther King Jr. in
1960, testified that she is unable
to get a birth certificate and So-
cial Security card with the same
last name after being adopted
early in life. And Ana Gonzalez,
63, who also was adopted early in
life andcame tothe UnitedStates
in 1957, has no Social Security
cardanddoesnt seemtohave the
identification necessary to get a
birth certificate from Puerto Ri-
co.
Three others testified later to
similar barriers.
Deputy Attorney General Pa-
trick Cawley contended that the
state is takingpains tocreate new
ways of getting identification and
that it has removed a great num-
ber of barriers to people who
want to vote. On Election Day,
anyone who wants to vote will be
able to get an ID card that allows
them to do so, he insisted.
Pennsylvanias Department of
State said Friday it plans to begin
offering a special free photo ID
card for voters who are unable to
obtain a photo ID issued by the
Department of Transportation.
Simpson, a Republican, said he
hoped to rule during the week of
Aug. 13. His decision likely will
be appealed to the state Supreme
Court. The hearing will continue
today and was expected to last a
week.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice is looking at
whether Pennsylvanias lawcom-
plies with federal laws.

He wants to change the view of

Chris Eyre
The Cheyenne and Arapaho filmmaker said actor
Johnny Depp deserves some credit for accepting
the role of Tonto in Disneys still-under-production version of the Lone

Couple believes contempt
can lead to horrific events
C
olumbine. Virginia Tech. A Tucson
shopping center. And, now, a packed
Aurora, Colo., theater as men, women
and children enjoy a summer movie!
Like millions of Americans, we are
shocked and saddened by yet another
atrocity in a place where Americans as-
sume they will be safe. Our thoughts are
with the families and friends of those in-
nocent people whose lives were ended so
abruptly and those wounded. Once again a
shocked nation asks, How can this hap-
pen?
We are impelled to say that Aesthetic
Realism, the education founded by Eli
Siegel, explains how and lays out how such
wrenching events can be prevented. It
shows that contempt, the addition to self
through the lessening of something else,
is in every person. Contempt is the cause
of all injustice and every human cruelty. As
husband and wife, parents and selves, we
have seen that contempt can be so very
ordinary when, for instance, one spouse
doesnt listen to the other, or when we
enjoy making fun of how a person looks or
dresses. Carried far enough, contempt can
lead to multiple murders on a Colorado
night.
Only when the way contempt works in
each of us from its everydayness to its
extremes is studied, understood and
criticized will America be kind and safe.

Add Cartwright to list
of Democrats to reject
I
strongly agree with William Levinsons
letter, Real Democrats should reject
Obama and Casey (July 21). He has
identified a serious discrepancy in their
rhetoric.
I suggest he add another name to his list
of Democrats to be rejected for their trou-
blesome views: Matt Cartwright of Moos-
ic. This is a man who announced his con-
gressional candidacy with the self-descrip-
tion that he is a Democrats Democrat.
Then, all through the primary, he voiced
his admiration and support for both Presi-
dent Obama and U.S. Sen. Robert Casey.
Vote for the person who is running
against Cartwright and we will ensure real
jobs for the real people of our area and
district.
Lets send the message that crony cap-
italism is done and over.

IGNORING THE most im-
portant fact that they do
nothing to aid the victims
NCAA sanctions against
Penn State University
spawned by the Jerry Sand-
usky tragedy are unfair not
because they are too harsh. Considering the
crime, they arent.
They are unfair because they were too
hasty.
Thats not to say the NCAA didnt wait; it
did, until Sandusky was convicted and the
damning Freeh Report had been public long
enough to digest. Such a delay was the right
thing to do.
But why mete out so massive a penalty 11
days after the Freeh Report emerged? Sand-
usky was behind bars, Joe Paterno is dead and
the other high-ranking PSU officials implicat-
ed by Freeh were out of the schools picture.
What was the rush?
If the sanctions affected only those people
responsible, the speed would not be an issue.
But its ramifications go well beyond the elite
tier of decision makers who failed to act for
a staggering 15 years on the Sandusky prob-
lem.
Im not talking about the pigskin players,
who thanks to a four-year ban on postseason
games see opportunities dim from senior to
incoming freshman. As proponents of the
sanctions rightly note, they can transfer. If
bowl bids matter more than their educations
and their allegiance to PSU, goodbye; if not,
thanks for showing commitment.
Of course, their commitment could stem
from signed apartment leases or other binding
agreements on campus, purchased textbooks,
carefully crafted course schedules they cant
recreate elsewhere in the next few weeks or
scholarships they need and cant get by trans-
ferring.
But as University of Scranton professor
Harry Dammer, a faculty representative to the
NCAA, pointed out during an interview Tues-
day, football is supposed to teach them to deal
with adversity; so deal.
Nor am I talking about students or season
ticket holders who find themselves likely to
watch a shadow of a lion prowl the field,
thanks to desertions and a scholarship pro-
gram shrunk by the NCAA. As Dammer also
noted, those fans might be inconvenienced,
but their lives arent forever changed, unlike
the children Sandusky abused.
Im talking about the unintended conse-
quences, the unforeseeable aftershocks, the
people who could suffer substantially even if
they are utterly unconnected to the scandal.
These sanctions will ripple far beyond the
PSU footballs once-hallowed halls.
Assume, for example, a top-shelf, highly
recruited player bolts, landing a starting posi-
tion at another institution in desperate need of
his particular skills. He gets an express ticket
to the starting lineup while someone who had
that job lands on the bench, wondering why
his prospects died courtesy of men he didnt
know in a state hes never been to doing some-
thing he had no inkling occurred.
Does he get to transfer as well?
Consider the entrepreneur or employee
dependent on the weekly throngs to Happy
Valley and struggling to survive in a tepid
economy the B&B owner, the bartender, the
hotel housekeeper or, as profiled by reporter
Andrew Seder in Tuesdays edition of The
Times Leader, the small bus company running
trips to Penn State games. Attendance drops
just enough to make the business unprofitable,
and the owner and employees are out of work.
Is it really too far-fetched to envision a
talented teen trapped in an impoverished
neighborhood and a fractured family losing his
best shot at climbing from the morass because
the NCAA cut the number of scholarships
Penn State can offer?
Alarmist? Sure, but the NCAAs rush to
such sanctions seemingly without more care-
fully measuring the potential consequences
was an alarmist response. The mobs were at
the gate; the need to look decisive apparently
trumped all.
An extra few weeks, a partial imposition of
sanctions with a warning more might come;
these were off the table, as was a separate
investigation independent of the Freeh Report,
bypassed because the Penn State Board of
Trustees accepted the report as a fait accom-
pli.
Why?
Because the integrity of NCAA football had
to be protected.
In a bit of irony, the NCAAs rush to judg-
ment could become an example of the foot-
ball trumps human compassion mindset the
sanctions are designed to curb.

OTS OF THINGS are
still very wrong with
the U.S. economy, but
this is one that should
be getting more attention: Cen-
sus figures for 2011 are expect-
ed to show the poverty rate
jumping to its highest level
since the 1960s.
Essentially, all theanti-pover-
ty public policy of the last 50
years the war on poverty and
the expansion of the
social safety net, the
massive private-sec-
tor gains spurred by
Ronald Reagan in
the 1980s and Bill
Clinton in the 1990s
has been rendered
ineffective by the
meltdown of 2008
and the slow recov-
ery.
The numbers will
say the nation is at a 15.7 per-
cent poverty rate, an unaccept-
ably high number.
It matters. And it ought to be
more directly discussed in the
presidential campaign.
So much of the debate be-
tween left and right about the
economy is focused on the mid-
dle class and on businesses.
Both matter intensely to the
health of the economy, and the
best way to fight poverty is still
by expanding opportunity.
Businesses sell more products,
hire more people and pay more
wages. The middle class grows,
and the ranks of the impover-
ished shrink.
But in relative terms, busi-
ness has had a much healthier
bounce-backfromtherecession
than the rest of the economy
suggests. The Dow hit 13,000
again in February (it closed at
12,721 Monday), which, al-
though not
matching peak
housing-bubble
levels, was a num-
ber not seen in
four years, and
corporate profits
are soaring.
And yet many
middle-class fam-
ilies find them-
selves plunged in-
to poverty. Why?
Thats the question the presi-
dential candidates need to ad-
dress. And they need to do it in
a way that measures up to the
complexity of the problem.
This election should be
about how American promise
and opportunity get rejuvenat-
ed. Talking directly, and in con-
text, about thenations growing
poverty has to be an essential
part of that discussion.

ACH YEAR IN Penn-
sylvania, somewhere
in the neighborhood
of 1 million vehicles
have their emissions systems
tested.
Ninety-eight percent of
them pass, according to the
state Department of Transpor-
tation.
Lets assume those tests cost
$40althoughthe cost is likely
slightly higher or lower de-
pending on where an owner
lives. That translates to about
$39 million spent just to hear a
mechanic say, Yep, youre
good to go.
When the emissions testing
programlaunched15 years ago
in 25 high-population Pennsyl-
vania counties, there were
more older, pollution-belching
vehicles on the road. But to-
days technology produces ve-
hicles with low emissions or
none at all, according to state
Sen. John Wozniak. The test-
ing program is outdated and
needs to be scaled back, ac-
cordingtotheCambria County
Democrat, whos pushing a bill
that would eliminate the emis-
sions testing requirement for
vehicles less than 10 years old.
This isnt something the
Legislature can or should rush
into. Pennsylvania started its
emissions program to meet
federal Environmental Protec-
tion Agency air quality guide-
lines, and the EPA would need
to sign off on any changes.
But it is something that
should be considered.
The state Department of En-
vironmental Protection and
PennDOT are doing a study of
the emissions inspection pro-
gram, and a spokesman for
Wozniak said the legislator is
willing to work with the de-
partments to find a good bal-
ance of frequency of testing,
age of cars and emissions stan-
dards.
If a balance canbe foundthat
does not erase clean air gains
made since 1997 which the
EPA wouldnt allow anyway
then lawmakers should make
the changes.

City police said they are
searching for a black or dark-col-
ored pickup truck with a loud
exhaust and diesel engine that
they suspect struck McCallick.
On Wednesday, a city detec-
tive visited a residence on An-
derson Street in Wilkes-Barre
Township afternoon inspecting
a black truck that was parked in
a driveway and questioned its
owner. The truck and owner
were ruled out.
While the search continues
for the driver and vehicle, police
believe another driver may have
witnessed the fatal hit-and-run,
city spokesperson Drew
McLaughlin stated in an email.
McLaughlin said the second
vehicle was traveling behind the
vehicle that struck McCallick
and briefly stopped at the scene
before driving away prior to po-
lice arriving.
Anyone with information
about the fatal hit-and-run and
drivers of the two vehicles is
asked to call Wilkes-Barre police
at 208-4201. Police said they re-
viewed video from surveillance
cameras from the Hawkeye Se-
curity System and businesses
along Hazle Avenue in an at-
tempt to identity the make and
model of the pickup.
McCallick, originally from
Dorrance Township, was living
with her boyfriend, John
Schenck, 23, at 119 Hazle Ave.
for several months. She gradu-
ated from Crestwood High
School in 2011.
In the Fairmount Township
crash, state police said Gibbons
was a passenger in a vehicle dri-
ven by Charles Young III, 23, of
Dallas.
Young was traveling south on
Route 487 and crossed into on-
coming traffic colliding with a
vehicle operated by Ian Stanley,
69, of Alberton, South Africa,
early Tuesday night.
Stanley was traveling north at
the time of the crash.
Gibbons was pronounced
dead at the scene.
Young and a 17-year-old male
from Dallas, a passenger in his
vehicle, Stanley and Valerie
Stanley, 65, of Alberton, South
Africa, were transported to area
hospitals, state police said.
Autopsies were conducted on
McCallick and Gibbons at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
on Wednesday.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Gary
Ross determined the two wom-
en died from multiple traumatic
injuries due to motor-vehicle ac-
cidents.
The manner of death for
McCallick is pending the ongo-
ing investigation by Wilkes-
Barre police, Luzerne County
Acting Coroner William Lisman
said.
FATALS
at upset sales typically ad-
vance to free-and-clear auc-
tions, where liens and back
taxes are forgiven and bids
typically start at several
hundred dollars. The next
sale is Aug. 23.
However, the law allows
private sales of tax claim
property between the upset
and free-and-clear auctions
if buyers are willing to sub-
mit a reasonable offer and
accept responsibility for
liens, Rodgers said.
The court and all three
taxing bodies must approve
private sale purchases, he
said.
Rodgers said Nardone
was the only buyer to ex-
press an interest in the Exe-
ter Township island, known
as Millers Island, which
is actually a cluster of five
islands totaling 3 acres.
Nardones bid for $1,750
is expected to be accepted
by taxing bodies so owner-
ship may be transferred to
Nardone in August, tax
claim representatives say.
Because of interest from
multiple parties, Rodgers
required sealed bids for
Macks Island in Mocana-
qua, a group of large, medi-
um and small islands esti-
mated to total 23.5 acres.
One person dropped out,
leaving a sporting club and
Nardone, who presented
the highest bid -- $15,000,
officials said.
About $3,300 in taxes
were owed on the Mocana-
qua island, which is as-
sessed at $48,000. The as-
sessment will drop to
$4,800 if Nardone participa-
tes in the Clean and Green
program for non-farm par-
cels more than 10 acres that
will remain undeveloped.
Back taxes also are
$3,300 on the Exeter Town-
ship island, which is as-
sessed at $45,100 with an-
nual property taxes of about
$870.
An out-of-town relative of
the Exeter Township island
owner, the late Michael De-
girolamo, said the taxes in-
creased dramatically after
the countywide reassess-
ment, prompting the family
to stop paying them and let
it go to tax sale.
A Realtor advised the
family no one would buy
the island, he said.
The Mocanaqua island is
owned by John Krostek,
though property records are
addressed to a New Jersey
relative, Richard Krostek,
who inherited the property
and could not be reached
for comment.
Nardone said he may re-
name the islands after his
children. He was never on
the islands but plans to visit
them soon.
I hope to do some fish-
ing there someday, he said.
Private individuals or
corporations own seven
other islands within the 44-
mile Susquehanna River
stretch in Luzerne County.
The county owns Richards
Island under the 109th Field
Artillery (Carey Avenue)
Bridge in Larksville and
Plymouth.
The remaining islands
have no recorded owners
and are not taxed or as-
sessed, officials say.
Owners of several other
islands say theyre loaded
with wildlife.
Nardone doesnt plan to
seek government approval
to erect any structures on
his islands.
Im going to keep them
in their natural state, he
said.
ISLANDS
be just like them.
They saved my mothers
life, Dudrick said. I said I
wanted to be like these peo-
ple.
Passionate physician
And so at age 6, he was set on
his career path. By 1961, after
graduating from Franklin and
Marshall College with a biolo-
gy degree, he was enrolled at
University of Pennsylvanias
medical school.
After internships and resi-
dency he became chief of sur-
gery at the Veterans Adminis-
tration Hospital in Philadel-
phia and in 1972 he moved to
Texas to become the first pro-
fessor of surgery at the newly
established University of Texas
at Houston Medical School. He
worked there until 1994 before
heading back east to work at
Yale.
He always wanted to come
back and work in the Wyoming
Valley and made sure he visited
at least twice a year, typically
Christmas and summer.
His wife, Theresa M. Keen, a
Pittston native he met while
the two worked at Skytop
Lodge in the Poconos during
their college summers, was a
1955 Misericordia graduate.
Through conversations with
the school and its president,
Michael A. MacDowell, Du-
drick was able to help develop
the schools physician assistant
program, and he will come on
board full time this fall when
the first class enters. Finally,
his dream of working and liv-
ing in Luzerne County will be
realized.
Desire to keep helping
As for retiring, something
some accomplished 77-year-
olds might consider, Dudrick
said its not for him.
Im in the twilight of my ca-
reer and the twilight of my life,
and Imtrying to be as useful as
I can for as long as I can, Du-
drick said.
Before he started the latest
chapter of his life at Misericor-
dia, he was in Poland in May
and learned that a 28-bed hos-
pital that opened this year in
the town of Skawina, just south
of Krakow, was named in his
honor.
While there to lecture and
participate in the annual meet-
ing of the Polish Society for
Parenteral and Enteral Nutri-
tion, he was asked to visit a
new hospital that was con-
structed by two Polish doctors
he knew.
The hospital is located in an
area where all four of his grand-
parents were born and raised
before emigrating to America.
At a surprise unveiling of a
bronze plaque at the hospital
on May 24, Dudrick learned of
the new Stanley Dudricks Me-
morial Hospital.
It was a very emotional ex-
perience for me, Dudrick said.
I dont feel I deserve it and I
would have never expected it.
Dudrick, who first visited
Poland in 2003, has been a con-
sultant and member of the Pol-
ish Journal of Surgerys edito-
rial board for almost 10 years
and has contributed several
scientific papers for publica-
tion in the journal.
Dudrick said he didnt ask
for the hospital honor and was
told the name was chosen be-
cause the two Polish doctors
were inspired by his research.
Coupled with the fact I had
Polish roots and my family was
from that region, it all came to-
gether, Dudrick said. It was
an act of respect and grati-
tude.
Dudrick said its nice to be
recognized for his work, most
notably his pioneering re-
search while at the University
of Pennsylvania in develop-
ment of the specialized central
venous feeding technique
known as intravenous hyperali-
mentation or total parenteral
nutrition, which allows those
who cannot eat to be fed
through a tube that bypasses
the intestines.
Medical breakthrough
Along with open-heart sur-
gery and organ transplanta-
tion, his breakthrough has
been called one of the three
most important advancements
in surgery during the past cen-
tury.
The number one love of my
life was to be the best surgeon I
could possibly be, he said.
Being the best husband is sec-
ond.
And its a fact he told his wife
while proposing to her.
I told her if she could live
with that, would you marry
me?
The reply from the English
major who would go on to bear
his six children was: Quo Va-
dis, or where are you going?
with the implication she would
follow.
Never once in 54 years has
she interfered with me being
the best doctor I could possibly
be, Dudrick said.

Singh was arraigned Wednes-
dayafternoonbeforeU.S. District
Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie. Pend-
ing the outcome of a pre-trial re-
lease hearing that will be sched-
uled within five days, Singh was
remanded to the Lackawanna
County Prison.
Federal prosecutor Francis
Sempa moved for detention of
the defendant, who was repre-
sented by Ingrid Cronin, an as-
sistant federal public defender.
Lawenforcement personnel re-
moved several boxes from the
scene and yellow crime scene
tape was drapped around the
property and the gas station was
shut down around 10 a.m.
Singh was arraigned with the
assistance of an interpreter via a
telephone hookup from Califor-
nia. The interpreter translated
English to Punjabi, an Indo-
Aryan language spoken by inhab-
itants of the historical Punjab re-
gion of northwestern India and
easternPakistan. The interpreter
could be heard through overhead
speakers in the courtroom.
Vanaskie said a preliminary
hearing for Singh will be sched-
uled by either Chief Federal Ma-
gistrate Judge Thomas Blewitt or
federal Magistrate Judge Mala-
chy Mannion within14 days. The
judge noted that Singh is an ille-
gal alien and he has applied for
asylum in the United States.
Cronin said Singh had been liv-
ing with his employer, who was
not identified. Croninsaidher cli-
ent has nowhere to stay at this
time.
These are very serious charg-
es, Vanaskie told the defendant
as he read him his rights. Vanas-
kiesaidhereviewedafinancial af-
fidavit and was satisfied that
Singh met the eligibility require-
ments for appointment of coun-
sel. Cronin said she will serve as
Singhs counsel.
Vanaskie saidBlewitt issuedan
affidavit of probable cause that
itemized several transactions of
the controlled substance spice
at the gas station.
Neither Sempa nor Cronin
commented on the raid at Magi-
kal Garden.
Congress inJune added26syn-
thetic substances to the federal
Controlled Substance Act, listing
na as Schedule I substances,
those with a high potential for
abuse that have no medical use in
treatment. Cocaine and heroin
are classified as Schedule I sub-
stances.
The measure doubled the
length of time the DEA can tem-
porarily ban other synthetic sub-
stances from 18 to 36 months,
and created a new definition for
cannabis agents addressing in-
gredients used to manufacture
na.
Penalties for a first offense for
delivery of or intent to deliver
synthetic drugs are up to five
years inprisonanda $15,000 fine.
Possession penalties are up to
one year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

business Magikal Garden on Wednesday.

DEA
WASHINGTON People are
inventing so many new, legal
ways to get high that lawmakers
cant seem to keep up.
Over the past two years, the
U.S. has seen a surge in the use of
synthetic drugs made of legal
chemicals that mimic the danger-
ous effects of cocaine, ampheta-
mines and other illegal stimu-
lants.
The drugs are often sold at
small, independent stores in mis-
leading packaging that suggests
common household items like
bath salts, incense and plant
food. But the substances inside
are powerful, mind-altering
drugs that have been linked to bi-
zarre and violent behavior across
the country. Lawenforcement of-
ficials refer to the drugs collec-
tivelyas bathsalts, thoughthey
have nothing in common with
the fragrant toiletries used to
moisturize skin.
President Barack Obama
signed a bill into law earlier this
monththat bans the sale, produc-
tion and possession of more than
two dozen of the most common
bath salt drugs. But health pro-
fessionals say that there are so
many different varieties of the
drugs that U.S. lawmakers are
merely playing catch up.
The moment you start to reg-
ulate one of them, theyll come
out with a variant that some-
times is even more potent, said
Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the
National Institute on Drug
Abuse.
There are no back alleys or
crack houses in Americas latest
drug epidemic. The problem in-
volves potent substances that
amateur chemists make, package
and sell in stores under brands
like Ivory Wave, Vanilla Sky
and Bliss for as little as $15.
Emergencies related to the drugs
have surged: The AmericanAsso-
ciation of Poison Control Centers
received more than 6,100 calls
about bath salt drugs in 2011
up from just 304 the year before
and more than 1,700 calls in
the first half of 2012.
The problem for lawmakers is
that its difficult to crack down on
the drugs. U.S. laws prohibit the
sale or possession of all substanc-
es that mimic illegal drugs, but
only if federal prosecutors can
show that they are intended for
human use. People who make
bath salts and similar drugs work
around this by printing not for
human consumption on virtual-
ly every packet.
Barbara Carreno, a spokeswo-
man for the Drug Enforcement
Agency, said the intended use for
bath salts is clear.
Everyone knows these are
drugs to get high, including the
sellers, she said.
Many states have bannedsome
of the most common bath salts,
which are typically sold by small
businesses like convenience
stores, tobacco shops and adult
book stores. For instance, West
Virginia legislators banned the
bath salt drug MDPV last year,
making it a misdemeanor to sell,
buy or possess the synthetic
drug. Conviction means up to six
months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Despite the bans, bath salts
producers are constantly tweak-
ing their recipes to come up with
new drugs that arent covered by
local laws.
Bath salts still around
New synthetic drug recipes
keep turning up, frustrating
lawmakers and police.

W
hen will they learn?
The Philadelphia Eagles
have to know by now their
fans dont want to hear about plans
for big dreams. They want to see
them come true.
It may turn out to be spot on that
the Eagles really are on the verge of
a dynasty, as Michael Vick alluded
last week. And its admirable if the
Eagles quarterback truly believes
that.
But based on all the hot air that
evaporated on the Eagles last year,
youd think their approach would
sound a little more humble this time
around.
Not Vick.
The multi-talented quarterback
capable of demoralizing defenses with
his legs as well as his arm passed on
a chance to downplay Philadelphias
prospects this season.
After noting his team re-signed
talented young stars such as running
back LeSean McCoy and wide receiv-
er/punt returner DeSean Jackson,
and comparing Philadelphias talent
level to other NFC East teams, Vick
predicted the Eagles are on the verge
of a dynasty.
Thats just me speaking out in
confidence, Vick said upon arriving
at Lehigh University in Bethlehem
for Eagles training camp this week.
As a quarterback, thats just how I
feel.
They can feel the laughter from
Lehigh Valley to the Wyoming Valley.
Because such bragging could send
a team tumbling into a basin.
Thats what happened to the Ea-
gles last summer, after their head-
turning offseason free agent frenzy
provoked former backup quarterback
Vince Young to proclaim he joined A
dream team.
From there, the Eagles turned into
a nightmare. They finished 8-8 and
missed the playoffs.
That doesnt seem like much of a
dream team, or a dynasty.
Maybe the Eagles should just wor-
ry about turning around their own
destiny before elevating their goals to
such dramatic heights.
There are no excuses for last
year, said Eagles coach Andy Reid,
whose team failed to develop chem-
istry during a lockout-shortened pre-
season of 2011. Everyone was dealt
the same cards.
Yet, the Eagles still believe theyre
playing with a royal flush.
Youve got to aim and shoot for
the stars, Vick said. And if you
miss, at least youll be amongst
them.
Right now, the Eagles are amongst
the teams trying to rebound from
missing the 2011 postseason.
They havent won a Super Bowl in
their history and havent been to the
NFC championship game since 2009
when Donovan McNabb was still
quarterback. A team from their own
division, the New York Giants, won
two Super Bowls during that span.
That looks more like a team on
the verge of a reign at the top of the
NFL.
The Eagles arent exactly at rock
bottom.
They have a dynamic offense and a
defense that should improve with
some solid draft choices and recent
acquisition such as former Penn State
defensive lineman Ollie Ogbu, who
arrived in training camp Wednesday
with the rest of the Eagles veterans.
Were very fired up to be back,
Reid said. When you set the Super
Bowl as your goal, the expectations
arent any higher. Thats what we do.
Coming in, expectations are high.
They always are for the Eagles.
But nobody needs to hear about
them.
We need to see some fulfillment.

CHICAGO It took just two days for
the recruiting war to reach Penn States
campus. On Monday, the NCAAleveled
the Nittany Lions with sanctions and
ruled that players could transfer with-
out penalty. Some 50 hours later, coach-
es fromopposing programs began arriv-
ing in State College, looking to recruit
from the Lions roster.
Meanwhile, a group of roughly 30
Penn State players launched a counter-
offensive on Wednesday morning,
breaking a two-day silence to say they
would remain committed to the Lions.
Seniors Michael Mauti and Mike Zor-
dich both sons of former Penn State
lettermen spoke for a group of pre-
dominately upperclassmen, delivering
brief, off-the-cuff speeches onthe teams

PHILADELPHIA Cole Hamels
knew the moment he walked off the
mound to a standing ovation after allow-
ing five runs in his last start that he was
staying with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Words cant really
describe the emotions
that you get, and the
way the fans were
standing and cheering,
that was ultimately the
deciding point to be
here, Hamels said.
He had 144 million
other reasons to stay,
too.
Hamels on Wednesday signed a six-
year contract worth an average of $24
million per season that prevents the
2008 World Series MVP from becoming
a free agent in November. The deal in-
cludes a club vesting option for 2019 and
a limited no-trade provision.
The contract is the largest signed by a
Philadelphia athlete and second-highest
for a pitcher behindthe$161million, sev-
en-year deal the NewYork Yankees gave

SCRANTON Greater Pittston
manager Drew Whyte knew after the
first game of the tournament his de-
fense might be what was standing be-
tween his squad and a trip to states.
Wednesday afternoon, Whyte was
proven right as his de-
fense let him down
and Greater Pittston
lost to Towanda 9-7 at
Connell Park. The
loss eliminated GP
from the Region 5
playoffs.
We started off the tournament play-
ing shaky defense and then we ended
the tournament playing shaky de-
fense, said Whyte.
GP jumped out to a 3-0 lead on an
RBI single by Kody Nowicki and a two-
run double by Randy McDermott. But
the defense left Towanda back in the
game in the fourth.
Two errors led to two unearned and
one earnedrunas Towanda tiedit upat

WILKES-BARRE The An-
thracite Curling Club will be
hosting its first-ever tournament
this weekend, starting, Friday, at
The Ice Rink at Coal Street.
The bonspiel, a term meaning
tournament in curling, is sched-
uled to host eight participating
clubs, including squads from
Rochester, N.Y., Plainfield, N.J.,
and Whitby, Ontario. Participa-
nts will have a weekend full of
curling matches, complimen-
tary meals, and a friendly social
atmosphere.
When hearing the word curl-
ing, most people recall it from
the Winter Olympics, but few
knowwhat the game actually en-
tails. Curling is a game played
on a long, rectangular ice sur-
face with two teams comprised
of four members. Teams go back
and forth sliding (throwing) a
total of eight granite stones per
round (end) to see who can land
theirs closest to the center of the
target.
Teams are awarded a point for
each stone that is closest to the
center of the target known as
the button than the other
teams stones.
Joshua Sophy, a curler and
board member of the Anthracite
Curling Club, has been curling
for almost two years now after
watching the 2010 Winter Olym-
pics in Vancouver, Canada. He
was fascinated by its uniqueness
and gathered a group of friends
to attend a Learn How to Curl
seminar that year.
Immediately after attending,
he and his friends signed up for
the club. Since then, his life has
been completely consumed by
the sport. Its nothing new to
hear someone say that curling is
one of the most unique sports
theyve ever watched.
Its the brooms, Sophy said.
"When watching the sport for
the first time, many interpret it
as an easy-going sport, nothing
that requires too much energy or
a high level of difficulty. Howev-
er, this sport gives you an ex-
tremely good workout.
"Along with the physical as-
pect, its also a mental game,
too. Planning exactly where to
send the stones down the ice so
they position themselves as
close to the target as possible
without knocking any of their
other stones further away from
it."
More and more people have
come out to try the sport in re-
cent years. Today, there are
more than 17,000 registered
curlers in the United States and
that number keeps growing. Ac-
cording to Sophy, curling is a
sport for all ages, all skill levels,
and can be a fun family activity.
Its never too late to try some-
thing new and meet a bunch of
people who have the same simi-
lar interest, Sophy said.
The Anthracite Curling Club
is a part of the Grand National
Curling Club and was previously
known as the Scranton Curling
Club, formed in 2005.

ing or to sign up for the club, go

weekend.

DALLAS Stricken with sorrow
and finding it difficult to overcome
grief, Matt Samuel madehiswayin-
toaviewinghenever envisionedat-
tending.
He walked out with a smile on
his face.
Even in death, Corey Ehret left
themlight-hearted.
He was more of a jokester, a lot
of laughing, said Maryann Dunn,
whose son played soccer for many
years with Ehret.
It was fitting, then, that when
people paid their respects to Ehret
on Wednesday at St. Pauls Luthe-
ran Church, they walked away feel-
ing upbeat.
AnytimeI sawhim,saidEhrets
teen friend Tyler Rice, he always
had a smile on his face.
That timeless smile will stand
frozen in the minds of those who
knewEhret, after the18-year-oldre-
cent Dallas High School graduate
passed away Sunday following a
courageous three-year battle with
embryonal rhabdomyo sarcoma.
Youd never knowit fromhis up-
beat personality, though.
It didnt affect whohewas, said
his classmate, Jess Missal, who has
counted herself as one of Ehrets
many friends since the fourth
grade. It didnt define him. He was
kind of like, Dont get down about
it, get over it, suckit up. Especially
through this.
His inspirational attitude made
Ehret cherished during his life, his
friends said, and even reverberate
arounda roomfull of his mourners.
It was more like a celebration
than a mourning, said Patrick Ne-
whart, another of friend of Ehrets.
Every time youd see him, hed
come in with a smile. It definitely
made your day better.
It made Samuel do a double-
take.
The veteran Dallas High School
trackandcross countrycoachguid-
ed Ehret through part of his sports
career, and said he was having a
hard time coming to grips with the
death of such an
inspirational stu-
dent andathlete.
Im hurting,
said Samuel,
who rushed
back from a
cross country
camp in Ship-
pensburg along
with 16 of his runners to attend
Wednesdays viewing. Andmystu-
dent-athletesarehurting. I wasvery
beat-upwhenI went intothat room.
I went up and told that family I
was so uplifted, I felt like a million
bucks when I left, Samuel contin-
ued. They reminded me of the
things that made himgreat ambi-
tion, strength, perseverance.
Those things didnt just showup
on the cross country course, where
Ehret admirably returned to make
the Dallas teamin2011after under-
going initial experimental, joint-da-
maging cancer treatments.
That, Samuel said, is the epi-
tome of a great athlete.
Its also the personification of a
great person, whichmade it easyto
understand why a never-ending
line of hundreds of men and wom-
enyoungandoldsnakedout the
doors, aroundthe entranceway and
into the packed parking lots of St.
Pauls.
Heleft his markonthis commu-
nity, students, and everybody
here, Samuel said. The things
that made that young man special
are things that can help you in all
walks of life.
Most everyonewhocameincon-
tact withEhret will miss his unique
qualities, which is why some found
it difficult to hide their sorrow.
For some people, said Boyd
Dunn, Maryanns husband, it
brought out emotions. He had a
good heart.
That heart, they say, will pump
life into those who knew him long
after Corey Ehret is gone.
Ive said this before, hes my he-
ro, Samuel said. This is a celebra-
tionof alifeI foundsoinspirational.
And Imnot the only one.
What a better way to represent
this young man.

with my result in the last Olym-
pics, Eichfeld said. I raced in
the two-man canoe or C-2 and
placed 11th. That being said, we
were very young and the experi-
ence was the important part.
During the four years in be-
tween Olympics, Eichfeld
worked hard to get back and im-
proveonhis markintheprevious
Olympics. After twostages of the
three-stage selection process,
Eichfeldtrailed.
I was the second-place boat
through the first two stages, but
then pulled ahead in the final
race, Eichfeld said. It was long
andabit stressful, but well worth
the effort.
Eichfelds efforts earned him
thetopC-1paddlerrankinginthe
U.S. anda trip to London.
It is a great feeling to have
qualified for the position, Eich-
feldsaid. I amsympathetic with
my teammates that couldnt
make it, but I cant help be glad
that it endedup being me.
Eichfeld will try to improve on
the 2008 Olympics and said he
has a shot to be standing on the
podium.
I am looking seriously at the
possibility of a medal at this
years games, Eichfeldsaid. We
all gototheOlympicsracingwith
the hopes of a medal in mind. I
have proven that I can race with
thebest intheworld, andI will do
my best to showthat I amone of
the best as well.
Eichfeldwill enter the London
Olympics with more experience
and will race in a one-man canoe
or a C-1, unlike inBeijing.
London is different for me be-
cause I am rac-
ing in a differ-
ent typeof boat
andit is mysec-
ond Olym-
pics, Eichfeld
said. I have a
much better
idea of how
things work
and howI need
to conduct my-
self sothatI can
race my best.
Eichfelds
love for the
sport and row-
ing talent
stems from his
family.
My parents were recreational
paddlers when I was born, Eich-
feld said. We would go on river
trips whenI was ababyandatod-
dler.
As Eichfeld aged, his desire to
compete and talent level only
grew.
Eventually, I startedpaddling
my single canoe and gradually
got better and better, Eichfeld
said. I was racing at a national
level when I was seven and an in-
ternational level when I was 14.
My prowess has just grown from
there.
Eichfeld said he loves water
and rivers and slalom racing
came naturally to him.
It feels great to race well,
Eichfeld said. The disappoint-
ment that comes with racing
poorly only fuels my fire to im-
prove my abilities andfocus.
Eichfeld credits his coaches
and fellow athletes for helping
him become the athlete he is to-
day.
My abilities are a collage of
ideas and techniques that I have
pickedupfromall of them, Eich-
feldsaid. Without eachof themI
wouldnot have made it this far.

STANDINGS/STATS
ABERDEEN, Md. Cal Rip-
ken Jr.s 74-year-old mother was
found with her hands bound in
the back seat of her car Wednes-
day after she said she was kid-
napped at gunpoint a day earlier
at her home outside Baltimore
and driven around blindfolded
by her abductor, police and
neighbors said.
Investigators do not know the
kidnappers motive and there
was no ransom demand for Vi
Ripkens release, Aberdeen Po-
lice Chief Henry Trabert said at
a news conference.
The gunman forced Ripken in-
to her silver Lincoln Continental
between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tues-
day, police said. She was found
bound and unharmed but shak-
en about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday
near her home in Aberdeen,
about 30 miles northeast of Bal-
timore.
When asked if police believe
the kidnapper knew who he was
abducting, Trabert did not an-
swer, saying investigators dont
know the motive or if the sus-
pect has any ties to the Ripken
family.
A next-door neighbor said Vi
Ripken told him her kidnapper
didnt seem to know that her son
was the Hall of Fame infielder
nicknamed Iron Man for play-
ing in 2,632 consecutive games
during his 21-year career with
the Baltimore.
Gus Kowalewski said he spoke
with Vi Ripken later Wednesday
morning and she told him the
gunman tied her hands and put a
blindfold on her, but said he
wouldnt hurt her.
Cal Ripkens mother abducted, is now safe, police and neighbors say

Were going to take this as an
opportunity to create our own leg-
acy, Mauti said. This program
was not built by one man, and this
programsureas hell is not goingto
get torn down by one man. This
programwas built oneveryalumni
and every single player who came
before us. Built on their backs.
We know there are going to be
tough times ahead, Zordich said.
But we know what our coaches
aremadeof, andweknowwhat the
university is made of. Were ready
and willing to fight and to stick to-
gether and see this thing through
to the end.
Thegroup, whichincludedWest
Scranton grads Matt McGloin and
Eric Shrive, did not field any ques-
tions. Among those in attendance
were projected starters Adrian
Amos, Adam Gress, DaQuan
Jones, Pete Massaro, Stephon
Morris, Matt Stankiewitch, Dono-
van Smith and John Urschel.
Lions coach Bill OBrien held
squad meetings on Monday and
Tuesday, hoping to convince his
players to stay. On Wednesday, he
was off to ESPNs campus in Bris-
tol, Conn., to do a series of live
spots for radio, TVandthe webbe-
fore heading to Chicago for Big
Ten media days.
As OBrien was heading out of
town, other programs were just ar-
riving. During an interview with
ESPN, OBrien said coaches from
multiple schools had begun stak-
ing out places on campus such as
the Lions Lasch Building head-
quarters to try and talk to his play-
ers.
Our players are in our building
right now, and they dont want to
leave the building because there
are coaches from other schools in
the parking lot waiting to see
them," OBrien said.
That phenomenon extended to
players homes as well. Morris and
Amos, both of whom would likely
start at cornerbackthis year for the
Lions, said Wednesday they were
being tracked beyond the football
building.
We have chosen to stay at PSU
and other opposing coaches are
outside our apartment, Morris
wrote on his Twitter account.
Was that the intention of the
NCAA. #LeaveUsAlone.
As strange as it sounds, all of
that is legal whenit comes toPenn
State players, according to the
NCAA. Because of the sanctions
against the program, restrictions
that wouldnormallyprohibit other
schools from contacting Lions
players on scholarship have been
lifted until Penn States classes
start on Aug. 27.
Opposing schools must notify
Penn State ahead of time which
players theyplantopursue, andLi-
ons players interested in talking to
another school must alsofirst noti-
fy Penn State.
ESPN reported that one of the
programs withcoaches oncampus
Wednesday was Big Ten Leaders
Division rival Illinois. An Illini ath-
letic official confirmed that foot-
ball coaches weretherefor thepur-
pose of recruiting.
Without identifying specific
players, OBrien said that some of
his top talents have received offers
from up to 50 different schools.
"I want everybody to under-
stand our fans, everybody in-
volvedwiththis program what is
going on with these student-ath-
letes right now," OBrien said.
"Theyre under tremendous pres-
sure."
OBrien has said repeatedly this
week that keeping the 2012 squad
as intact as possible is his mainpri-
ority.
On Wednesday, he got some vo-
cal support from his players.
No sanctions, no politician is
ever going to take away what we
got here, Mauti said. None of
that is ever going to tear us apart.
All we can do is put our heads
down and go to work. Were going
tofight for PennState. Were going
tofight for eachother, becausethis
is what Penn State is about fight-
ing through adversity.
Were going to show up every
Saturday and raise hell.
PLAYERS

CARDIFF, Wales Gold-
medal favorites United States,
Japan and Brazil won their
matches onthe first day of wom-
ens football on Wednesday, but
all the talk was about an embar-
rassing mistake by organizers
who displayed the South Ko-
rean flag instead of the North
Korean one before a game in
Glasgow.
The two-time defending
Olympic champion Americans
beat France 4-2, World Cup win-
ner Japan got past Canada 2-1
and Brazil the silver medalist
inthe last twoOlympics rout-
ed Cameroon 5-0 with two goals
by five-time world player of the
year Marta and one by Cris-
tiane, who become the all-time
top Olympic womens scorer
with 11 goals.
Also, Britain edged NewZeal-
and 1-0 in its first competitive
game ever in womens football,
giving the host the first victory
at the London Games.
The football tournament
started early because of its long
match schedule. The mens
competition will begin today.
The flag flap happened as
North Korea prepared to play
Colombia at Hampden Park. A
North Korean player was intro-
duced on the jumbo screen
alongwitha pictureof theSouth
Korean flag, prompting the
team to refuse to take the field
and delaying the game start for
more than an hour.
London Olympic organizers
later apologized, saying that
clearly that is a mistake and
promising that steps will be
taken to ensure this does not
happen again.
When the match finally start-
ed, North Korea came out press-
ing to win 2-0 with goals by Kim
Song Hui in the 39th and 86th
minutes.
In the first match in Glasgow,
Scotland, the United States al-
lowed two quick goals before
rallying for its win over France.
After Gaetane Thiney scored in
the 12th and Marie-Laure Delie
added another in the 14th, the
U.S. came back with goals by
AbbyWambachinthe19th, Alex
Morgan in the 32nd and Carli
Lloyd in the 56th. Morgan
scored again in the 66th.
Its not the game we wanted
to play, U.S. defender and cap-
tain Christie Rampone said.
But weve got a lot of games
ahead of us to try and get our
rhythm back.
Wambach now has 139 inter-
national goals in her pursuit of
Mia Hamms record of 158.
Japan, whichupset the U.S. to
winthe Womens WorldCuplast
year, got goals fromNahomi Ka-
wasumi in the 33rd and Aya Mi-
yama in the 44th for its 2-1 win
over Canada in Coventry. Melis-
sa Tancredi pulled one back for
Canada just 10 minutes after
halftime but the Japanese held
on.
I thinkit was all about the de-
fense today, Japan coach Norio
Sasaki said. We couldrunmore
than Canada and from the de-
fense through to the attack ev-
eryone went for the ball.
In the later match in Coven-
try, Lotta Schelin scored twice
to help Sweden defeat South
Africa 4-1.

LONDON Two-time Olympic fencing champion Mariel Zagunis will
carry the U.S. flag in the opening ceremony of the London Games.
The U.S. Olympic Committee says Zagunis won a vote of the 529-
strong team ahead of Fridays ceremony.
Zagunis says she is extremely humbled by this incredible privilege.
She was the first American to win a fencing gold in 100 years at the
2004 Athens Games.

CHICAGO He has still yet to
coach a game for Penn State, but
Bill OBrien has already received
his first contract extension.
Its just not the way he would
have liked to have earned it.
Speaking on ESPNs Mike and
Mike in the Morning show on
Wednesday, OBrien said his con-
tract called for an automatic ex-
tension in the event of NCAA
sanctions stemmingfromthe Jer-
ry Sandusky scandal. The exten-
sion is equal to the length of the
penalties.
That means OBriens original
five-year deal instead runs for
nine years, through the 2020 sea-
son. On Monday, the NCAA im-
posed a postseason ban and
scholarship reductions that will
last for spans of four years.
The contract posted online by
Penn State for the public in Janu-
ary makes no mention of this
clause. Rather, it appears in an
addendumsignedbyOBrienand
acting athletic director Dave
Joyner, according to the Centre
Daily Times.
The addendum reads, Any
sanction by the NCAA of a) loss
of scholarships or b) bowl eligi-
bility due to the actions of the
previous staff or lack of institu-
tional control prior to 2012 will
immediately result in an auto-
matic extension of coachs con-
tract at 2016 total compensation
and bonus package in years equal
to the number of years of the
sanctions."
OBrien will earn a base salary
of $950,000 in 2012, a figure that
increases by 5 percent annually.
He also receives compensation
totaling $1.35 million from TV,
radio and the schools contract
with Nike.
Bowl substitutes?
Penn States four-year postsea-
sonbanis one of manysignificant
hurdles OBrien and his staff will
have toovercome, particularly on
the recruiting trail. On Tuesday,
OBrien said he considered every
Lions home game to be similar to
a bowl game due to the crowd.
But that pitch may only go so
far, particularly if the NCAA pe-
nalties limit the Lions success on
the field, leading to decreased at-
tendance. So Penn State may ex-
plore other options, such as uti-
lizing an NCAA clause that al-
lows teams to play a 13th regular
season game on the road against
Hawaii, OBrien said on ESPNs
SportsCenter on Wednesday.
Later in the day in a chat with
fans on ESPN.com, OBrien also
talked of scheduling more mar-
quee non-conference games to
give players something to shoot
for.
Thats already in the works,
trying to change the schedule a
little bit, like a Miami, Southern
Cal, Hawaii, OBrien wrote.
Something you can point to like
a bowl game or just a big game.
"We should be willing to play
anybody. At least once or twice a
year. Thats what were trying to
get started now."
By his lonesome
After spendingmuchof theday
at ESPN on Wednesday, OBrien
left for Chicago, where Big Ten
media days begin today. He
wont, however, be joined by any
of his players.
Before the NCAA sanctions
hit, Penn State was scheduled to
senddefensivetackleJordanHill,
tailback Silas Redd and guard
John Urschel as player represen-
tatives for interviews on Friday.
But a Big Ten spokesman con-
firmed Wednesday that no Lions
players will be attending this
years event. No reasonwas given
by Penn State.
The spokesman said that only
head coaches are required to at-
tend. Schools can bring up to
three players as well but are not
obligated to bring any.
Both Hill and Urschel are ex-
pectedtoreturntoplay for the Li-
ons. Redds future remains very
much up in the air, as the All-Big
Ten tailback is receiving interest
from schools like USC.
OBrien is scheduled to speak
at the Big Ten event at 12:30 p.m.
today.

Sanctions led to contract extension for coach
Addendum in contract gives
OBrien extension equal to
length of penalties.
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
ees avoided them after the
meeting broke up.
The potential for a four-year
ban, first reported by ESPN,
showed how high the stakes
were as college sports govern-
ing body considered how to re-
spond to an internal school in-
vestigation by former FBI Di-
rector Louis Freeh that found
former coach Joe Paterno and
three other top college officials
helped conceal reports that
Sandusky was abusing children.
NCAA president Mark Em-
mert said this week that if a to-
tal football ban had been im-
posed, other penalties would
have accompanied it.
If the death penalty were to
be imposed, Im quite sure that
the executive committee and I
... would not have agreed to just
the death penalty. It would have
included other penalties as
well, Emmert said as the sanc-
tions were unveiled.
An NCAA spokeswoman de-
clined further comment
Wednesday on negotiations
with Penn State.
Many alumni and some trust-
ees were incensed over the un-
precedented NCAA penalty
which will cost Penn State tens
of millions of dollars and likely
cripple its football team for
years to come and Penn
States quick acceptance of it.
A person with knowledge of
the meeting said earlier
Wednesday that trustees were
to discuss whether Erickson
had the authority to agree to
the sanctions without first get-
ting the boards approval. The
person was not authorized to
discuss the meeting and spoke
on condition of anonymity.
Some trustees had expressed
concern that Erickson may
have violated a board rule that
says the board must authorize
the signing of contracts, legal
documents, and other obliga-
tions.
The board statement made
no reference to the proprietary
of what Erickson had done, say-
ing trustees held a discussion
but did not take any votes.
The board finds the punitive
sanctions difficult and the proc-
ess with the NCAA unfortu-
nate, the statement said. But
as we understand it, the alterna-
tives were worse as confirmed
by NCAA President Mark Em-
merts recent statement that
Penn State was likely facing a
multi-year death sentence.
La Torre said Wednesday that
Erickson had authority to act
without the approval of the full
board.
FLOATED
Ron Musto slammed a three-run
home run to left in the seventh
and GP took the lead back 6-5.
Musto had a huge tourna-
ment, said
Whyte. He was
unbelievable.
But Towanda
had one more rally
left in them.
In the bottom of
the eighth with
twoouts, Towanda
got two runners on
and chased Malo-
ney after156 pitch-
es.
Adam Romanowski, who
threw 11
2
3 innings on Sunday,
came in and the wheels fell off.
Towanda was able to push four
runs across to make it 9-6 with
GP having just one more at bat
left.
Dylan was a horse, said
Whyte. He pitched great today.
It is a shame that he pitched two
great games in this tournament
and because of our defense he
ended up being 0-1.
GPtriedtorally andloadedthe
bases with one out in the ninth.
After a hit by pitch scored one
run, Towandas ZachPlace struck
the next two batters out to put
Towanda in the championship
game, a game it lost 8-7.
We just didnt get the hits
when we needed them, said
Whyte. We battled back though
and the kids played a great
game.

MIAMI Former NL batting
champion Hanley Ramirez was
tradedfromMiami to the Los An-
geles Dodgers on Wednesday,
part of what appears to be the
third big fire sale in Marlins his-
tory.
Left-handed reliever Randy
Choate also was dealt to the
Dodgers. The Marlins received
right-hander Nathan Eovaldi and
minor league pitcher Scott
McGough.
The 28-year-
old Ramirez is
hitting .246
with 14 home
runs and 47
RBIs, far from
his big season
in 2009 when
he hit a league-
leading .342 with 24 homers and
106 RBIs.
I am sad to go, Ramirez said.
This will be always be my home,
but it will just be a little differ-
ent.
A three-time All-Star, he shift-
ed from shortstop to third base
this season to make roomfor free
agent Jose Reyes.
The trade came two days after
the Marlins sent pitcher Anibal
Sanchez and infielder Omar In-
fante to the Detroit Tigers for
pitching prospect Jacob Turner
and two minor leaguers.
We werent winning with the
group we had and we want to
make changes, Marlins presi-
dent of baseball operations Larry
Beinfest said.

In fire sale, Marlins send

Ramirez
didit withthe right person.
The 28-year-old Hamels be-
comes the third Phillies starter
making $20 million per season,
joining Roy Halladay and Cliff
Lee. A three-time All-Star, Ha-
mels passed up an opportunity to
possibly get more money on the
openmarket tostaywiththeteam
that draftedhimin2002.
I wantedtogivethePhilliesev-
ery opportunity, Hamels said.
Its veryhardtoleaveaplacethat
youve had so many great memo-
ries. Youdont want tomiss it and
not beapart of it. I knowtheorga-
nization has always done a good
job of going out to win. We have
great playershere. Youdont want
tohave toleave that or stray away
and see them win and youre not
part of it.
I understand that free agency
is great, those opportunities of
the unknowing. But this is the
place that I call home andwant to
call home for a really long time. I
grew up watching Tony Gwynn
play and he made San Diego his
home for his entire career. Thats
ultimately what I want to make
here inPhiladelphia.
Hamels is 11-4 with a 3.23 ERA
this season. The lanky lefty is 85-
58 with a 3.38 ERAin seven years
inPhiladelphia. Hamelshasnever
won more than15 games in a sea-
son, andhis 2.79 ERAin2011was
the only time he was under 3.06.
Still, thePhillieswerewillingto
pay big bucks to make sure they
didnt lose a fanfavorite.
Therealityisthisisacommod-
ityweknowverywell,teampres-
ident David Montgomery said.
We know Cole as a talent. We
know Cole as a competitor. We
know Cole as his character and
what he and Heidi have done as
farashisfoundationisconcerned.
Weknewall alonghewastheright
fit for Philadelphia.
Signing Hamels means the
Phillies could potentially have
$155 million committed to just 11
players for 2013. Montgomery
said the team would consider ex-
ceeding the luxury tax threshold
for the first time.
We may very well need to do
that to do the right things on the
field, he said.

Area home foreclosures up
The percentage of Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre area residential mortgages in
foreclosure continued to exceed state
and national rates in May, according to
a report by real estate industry analyst
firm CoreLogic. The local foreclosure
rate in May was 3.67 percent, up from
3.14 percent a year earlier and above
the national rate of 3.41 percent, which
was down slightly from May 2011.
The 6.81 percent of local mortgages
90 days or more delinquent was just
below the national rate of 6.94 percent.
But whil the national rate declined
over the past year, the local rate rose.
The local 90-day delinquency rate
has remained relatively steady over the
past two years, according to CoreLogic,
while the foreclosure rate has risen
steadily.
New home sales fall
The Commerce Department said
Wednesday that sales of new homes fell
8.4 percent last month from May to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
350,000.
Sales in the Northeast plunged 60
percent in June to the lowest level
since November.
Nationwide, sales in May and April
were revised much higher. Junes sales
pace is 15.1 percent higher than the
same month last year.
The median price of a new home fell
1.9 percent in June from May to
$232,600.
Zynga results disappoint
Zynga stock sank $2.09, or 41 per-
cent, to $2.99 in after-hours trading
after the online game maker reported a
loss in the second quarter, with ad-
justed earnings and revenue below Wall
Streets already-low expectations.
The company behind games City-
Ville and FarmVille also lowered its
outlook for the year because of delayed
games, reduced expectations for its
Draw Something game and what it
called a more challenging environ-
ment on the Facebook Web platform.
Big order for Boeing
Mexican airline Aeromexico said
Wednesday it intends to order 100
Boeing aircraft in an order with a list
price of approximately $11 billion.
Grupo Aeromexicos letter of intent
includes 90 of Boeings forthcoming
737-8 MAX and 10 787-9 Dreamliners.
The airline also has nine previously
ordered 787-9 Dreamliners.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B
timesleader.com
IMAGINE YOURE
sitting on a park
bench, minding your
own business, when
suddenly the smell
of cooking hot dogs
pervades the air.
You know, I
could really go for a hot dog right
now, you think, even though you
werent hungry a moment before.
Your mouth watering, you look
around, trying to spot the vendor.
No luck. Then you notice the hot
dog stand down the street.
You gladly spend a few dollars to
satisfy your craving, and dont no-
tice the smug expression on the
vendors face as you walk away.
Theres nothing unusual about
this scenario. Smell is one of the
most primal senses and its closely
linked with taste and therefore,
hunger.
Well, advertising technology has
arrived that takes advantage of the
hold those delicious aromas have
over us.
In practice, the prototype doesnt
lure customers with the smell of a
cooking hot dog, but rather that of
freshly brewed coffee.
Donut and coffee vendor Dunkin
Donuts has begun employing Fla-
vor Radio on city buses in Seoul,
South Korea.
Morning commuters are greeted
by the smell of fresh-brewed Dun-
kin Donuts coffee, dispensed using
off-the-shelf technology developed
for air-fresheners.
The aroma is closely followed
with an advertising message from
the brand.
Since the buses stop near a Dun-
kin Donuts shop, the result was
predictable; according to the compa-
ny, the campaign yielded a 16 per-
cent uptick in sales.
Over the past five years or so,
advances in digital scent technol-
ogy have been numerous.
A web protocol describing smells
was developed, a scent generating
USB device was manufactured, and
researchers have announced theyre
working on televisions that can
dispense smells. Sound like a ridicu-
lous gimmick? Thats what they
were saying 10 years ago about 3D.
So picture this: As youre watch-
ing TV the smell of freshly baked
cookies fills the room. Driven to a
nearly intolerable hunger for deli-
cious baked confections, you run to
the supermarket, which is freshly
stocked with the very cookie you
were smelling at home.
Digital scent technology cou-
pled with detailed profiles of cus-
tomers (Facebook Likes, for exam-
ple) could prove to be a deadly com-
bination.
Like a pizzeria? Well, in a few
years, you might just be able to
smell their pizza once you do. And
youll probably be buying a slice or
two soon thereafter.

NEW YORK Sandy Weill is
having a change of heart.
Weill, the aggressive dealmak-
er whobuilt Citigroupontheidea
that in banking, bigger is better,
said Wednesday that he believes
big banks should
be broken up.
Speaking on
CNBCs
Squawk Box,
the 79-year-old
Weill appeared
to shock the
shows anchors
when he said consumer banking
units should be split from riskier
investment banking units. That
would mean dismembering Citi-
group as well as other big U.S.
banks, like JPMorgan Chase and
Bank of America.
Its an idea thats traditionally
more in line with the banking in-
dustrys harshest critics, not its
founding fathers. Its an ironic
twist coming from an empire-
builder who nursed Citigroup in-
to a behemoth. And its directly
opposed to the stance of the in-
dustrys current leaders, like
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon,
whohave beentryingtoconvince
regulators and lawmakers of just
the opposite, that big banks do
not need to be split.
Weill said the radical change is
necessaryif U.S. banks want tore-
build trust and remain on top of
the worlds financial system.
Weill alsocriticizedbanks for tak-
ingontoomuchdebt andnot pro-
viding enough disclosure about
whats on their balance sheets.
Our world hates bankers, he
said.
Investment banking, which of-
fers services like trading stocks
and packaging loans into securi-
ties, can be spectacularly profit-
able in the good times and spec-
tacularly unprofitable in the bad.
Consumer banking, the plain-va-
nilla business of making loans
andacceptingdeposits, generally
offers a steadier, if slower, way to
make profits. Until the late 90s,
federal regulations kept them
largely separated.
A Citigroup spokeswoman de-
clined to comment. A JPMorgan
spokesman didnt immediately
return a message seeking com-
ment.
Weill retired as CEO of Citi-
group in 2003 but remained
chairman until 2006, building it
into a giant that offered both con-
sumer and investment banking.

That refreshingly
dry air we had in
town Wednesday
is now gone.
Today, we go
back into the
soup with hotter
and more humid
conditions, ripe
for the develop-
ment of thunder-
storms. Some
storms will have
the potential to
go severe, so
keep alert and
stay tuned. Much
of the day, how-
ever, will feature
a warm gusty
breeze and hazy
sunshine with
afternoon tem-
peratures
approaching 90.
Storms could be
roaming tonight,
as well. When we
see distant light-
ning on warm
summer nights
without hearing
thunder, it is
commonly called
heat lightning.
This is just ordi-
nary lightning so
far away that the
thunder it cre-
ates cannot be
heard.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal system will trigger showers and thunderstorms from the Ohio Valley
into the Northeast today. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, with strong winds and
large hail being the main threats. An associated frontal boundary will also produce scattered showers
and thunderstorms from the Mid-Mississippi Valley into the southern Plains.

ATLANTA This spring, during a
weeklong vacation in Florida, Caren
West wasnt just wired, she was literally
wired or wireless. The local public-re-
lations whiz spent most of her time in a
beach house with laptop open, smart-
phone ringing and brain firing as she
dealt with clients. On the one day she
planned a boat trip, she asked for a mo-
ment of peace which she got, until she
returned to land and her mobile phone
blew up.
It is to the point where it almost
doesnt make sense togoonvacationbe-
cause not only are you working, but you
come back to twice as much work, said
West, co-owner of
Caren West Public
Relations. I al-
ways feel guilty
about not work-
ing.
West isnt alone.
More than half
of American work-
ers ended 2011
with an average of
11days unused va-
cation time, ac-
cording to a recent
survey by Harris
Interactive for Jet-
Blue. Financial constraints, fear of los-
ing a job and just having too much work
to do are among the reasons workers
give for not taking earned time off.
If they do go on vacation, many work-
ers find it hard to disconnect, keeping
their smartphones, computers and oth-
er gadgets at the ready. Managers seem
to do better at taking time off. Accord-
ing to one survey from CareerBuilder-
.com, 81 percent of managers took or
plan to take vacation this year, com-
pared with 65 percent of full-time em-
ployees.
While no one disputes the value of a
vacationresearchsupports the needto
avoid burnout and reduce stress find-
ing the time and the money for a geta-
way can be a challenge.
West, a self-confessed workaholic,
takes about 10 vacation days per year,
but not without extensive preparation.
Determining when I can take a vaca-
tion is tough because we are in a field
that changes daily, she said. We try to
prepare clients by letting themknowwe
have a team of two and four interns.
Her safety net, however, is planning va-
cations where she knows there is wire-
less access just in case she needs to put
in some office time.
Janet Walsh, president and CEO of
Birchtree Global LLC, said the working
vacation has become the norm, partic-
ularly as the workforce becomes more
global.
I am seeing a huge trend in people
taking their work with them on vaca-
tion, she said. The boss isnt going to
know if you are sitting on a beach in
America
has become
a nation of
no vacations

Caren West works at her office in At-
lanta, Ga. West, like many others, is
finding it hard to break away from
work while on vacation.
More than half of

days unused
vacation time,
according to a
recent survey by

ant seem to find 7-year-old Trever Newell when you
need him? Just look up.
Almost guaranteedhes perchedatopsomethinghigh.
Newell has taken to climbing on anything he can, which is par-
tially why he loves the James S. Keiper Memorial ParkonHamil-
ton Avenue in Kingston so much.
Can I show you how fast I can
climb up the twisty slide? hell ask.
Before anyone can even answer, hes
gone, nimbly making his way up the
plastic play apparatus then sliding
right back down.
Hes definitely in the climbing
stage now, his mom, Diane Newell,
said. Im afraid pretty soon thats go-
ing to become the emergency-room
stage.
The park, dedicated in July 2003,
has plenty of diversions for little ones,
climbingexperts or not: a mixof older
and newer equipment, metal slides,
baby and traditional swings, a metal
teeter-totter and a giant play place
with several slides, monkey bars and
pedestals as well a shaky, tricky-to-
cross bridge. Trever refers to it as the
wiggly bridge and has made quick
work of it.
Five-year-old Ryan Kersey of King-
ston is a fellow climber.
Ill go all the way up to the top, he
said of the rope grid that sits on one
side of the playground. His dad, C.J.,
40, likes the parkfor different reasons.
Theres a lot of extra space here.
Ryan was part of the Kingston Light-
ning soccer league, so we like to bring
a ball to kick around. Sometimes well
even bring a basketball and shoot
hoops.
The park is flanked by a baseball
diamond, tennis courts, a soccer field

Walsh, who recently moved
her business, which provides
human resources, tax, legal and
financial solutions to compa-
nies expanding globally, from
Atlanta to Bedford Hills, N.Y.,
found herself working with a
client in India on the Fourth of
July.
They understand it is a holi-
day, but they are sitting in their
offices waiting for us to re-
spond. If we dont, someone
else will, she said.
A leaner workforce and poor
staffing also create a challenge
for employees looking to take
vacation especially at compa-
nies with fewer than 200 em-
ployees, which includes 80 per-
cent of total U.S. businesses,
Walsh said.
On a personal level, many
employees simply dont have
vacation plans.
The stay-cation is the new
reality, Walsh said.
Other employees may not
take vacation because they fear
losing their jobs, and some
companies promote that
thought process, Walsh added.
But for organizations that
want to encourage employees
to take a break, the remedy is
simple: Institute a use-it-or-
lose-it policy.
Several years ago, Smyrna,
Ga.-based United Acceptance
Inc., a financial organization
with more than 140 employees,
shifted from a policy that al-
lowed employees to carry over
unused vacation time to one in
which only 40 hours are al-
lowed to roll from year to year,
said human resources manager
Katrina Jackson.
Last year, only a handful of
employees lost vacation hours,
and about 65 percent rolled

Its nice to come here when
theres a game going on because I
can sit and relax, the kids play,
and I can watch a ball game, Tra-

about the time he spends at the
park with his 6-year-old son, Tra-
vis Jr. If its hot we can just hop
on over to the pool.
The Kingston Community
Swimming Pool is open for 10
weeks, beginning with the first
Saturday after the closing of the
schools for summer. Its open
from1to 8 p.m. Monday through
Saturday and1to6 p.m. Sundays.
Thursday night is Teen Night
from 8 to 10. Swimming lessons
are given from 9 a.m. to noon
Monday through Friday
Those who come are welcome
to sign up for a membership, but
guest rates are available.
They keep it very clean in the
pool area, Diane Newell said.
They keep this whole place
clean, which is part of the reason
I like coming here so much. Sun-
days are like a ritual for us. We go
to church then come hang out
here at the park. Sometimes we
swim, and then we top it off with
ice cream from Dairy Queen.

over the 40-hour maximum,
Jackson said. Most employees
are good about taking their time
off, she said. The management
staff makes sure people are tak-
ing their paid time off, including
themselves.
Another solution Walsh said is
to just allowpeople to take what-
ever time off they need. If peo-
ple resign or leave, you dont
have to pay unused vacation,
she said. The sticky part is figur-
ing out how to manage people
who may abuse such a free-flow-
ing system.
West said she prefers a flexible
vacation policy. When a team
member goes on vacation, she
tries to have as much respect as
possible for his or her time off.
I want people to like working
for CWPR. I dont want them to
followthe mistakes I make, said
West, who realizes the need to
step away to fuel creativity. Im
not going to deny someone the
opportunity togoaway andexpe-
rience a great trip.
VACATIONS
I am seeing a huge trend in people taking their
work with them on vacation, she said. The boss
isnt going to know if you are sitting on a beach in
Cancun emailing a customer in Portugal, and the
customer isnt going to care either.

Eleven Kings College students were recently inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, an honor society that
serves business programs that are accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Busi-
ness (AACSB), an international accrediting agency. The undergraduate programs of the McGowan School
of Business at the college are accredited by the AACSB International, a distinction earned by only 10
percent of the business schools in the world. Junior or senior students earn an invitation for membership
to Beta Gamma Sigma, which was founded in 1913, by earning a grade-point-average that is within the top
10 percent of their respective class. At the induction ceremony, from left, first row, are Matthew Weitz,
Molly Dahl, Laura Panzitta and Matthew Fiorino. Second row: Barry Williams, dean of the McGowan
School of Business; Michael Bocan; Joseph Foreman; Preston Balavage; William Grabinski; Ryan Cording-
ly; Michael Zema; and Dr. Joan Blewitt, faculty advisor. Also inducted was Michael Daly.

funds listed on the major securities exchanges. Separate competi-
tions are held annually, one in the fall semester and two in the spring
semester. Student teams that finished first, second and third in their
grade categories from the area served by the Honesdale National

Center are invited to attend an annual pizza party and awards cere-
mony. Among those recognized at this years event were two teams

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
planning a trip to
Thailand next year
and would like to
find a traveling
partner. My plan is
to visit the country
and rent a cabin for a
month. My interest is solely to share
expenses and have a platonic relation-
ship with my travelmate. Thanks for
whatever input you can give me.
Traveler From Kansas City
Dear Traveler: Youre welcome. My
input is to urge you to rethink this.
I do NOT recommend that you go to
a foreign country and rent a cabin in
the middle of nowhere with someone
you dont know because it could be
dangerous.
Traveling can present problems
unless you have a high degree of
compatibility and similar habits. Low-
budget tours are available, and I urge
you to research them.
Dear Abby: A few weeks ago my hus-
band and I were having an argument.
He stormed out of the house and was
killed in a wreck while talking to his
brother on his cellphone.
His family blames me for arguing
with him. While I feel sad that the
last thing we did was argue, I feel
his brother should shoulder some
of the blame because he was on the
cellphone with him, which is illegal in
our state.
Luckily, no one else was hurt in the
crash, but I am very hurt that Johns
family is so angry at me. Please re-
mind folks not to drive while on a
cellphone.
Idaho Widow
Dear Widow: Please accept my
sympathy for the tragic loss of your
husband. It is important you under-
stand that your former in-laws are
angry at the fact that he is dead, and
are looking for someone other than
him to blame for their pain. If your
brother-in-law knew John was on his
cellphone while driving, then Im sure
he carries some guilt about it. But the
fault lies with your husband.
P.S. If your letter serves as a
reminder to readers not to use a cell-
phone or text while driving, his
death will not have been in vain.
Dear Abby: I am dating a recently
divorced man who was married to a
very controlling woman for 31 years.
I love him very much and see myself
with him in the future. However, at
the age of 53, he is interested in pur-
suing a singing career.
I dated a musician for 16 years
and I do not want a relationship with
another one. Im pretending to be
supportive because I dont want to be
another woman telling him what to
do or stifling his dreams. Inside I am
dreading it.
On the other hand, I cant imagine
my life without him. Should I con-
tinue to pretend to support him and
hope he fails, or let him know that I
dont want to be with a musician?
Out of Tune in Dayton, Ohio
Dear Out Of Tune: It is in neither
of your best interests for you to con-
tinue lying to him because the truth
will come to light eventually. He is
not the person you dated for 16 years,
so let him pursue his dream. After
31 years of misery with his ex, if he
can enjoy some success, please dont
begrudge him.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Traveling with a stranger is a risky and dangerous way to save money
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). Consider
that you may not actually be the
most qualified person to assess
your own life. An outside view
will help you understand a part
of you that you didnt before.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Because the task before you
seems to warrant your full focus,
you will ration your attention.
The ones to the right and left of
you cant compete with the job
thats at your center.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though
you may think its no big deal,
theres something impressive
in your presentation today. Its
spontaneous. Youll do what you
feel and it boomerangs back
to you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It
does take an effort to keep cur-
rent, but youll manage to stay
abreast of peoples lives that
interest you. The ones who mat-
ter most to you will be aware of
their honored place.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is the
day to honor a loved one with
the kind of thing that will matter
most a special look, body lan-
guage that speaks big time, and
a quality of attention you havent
given up for a while.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Enthusiasm goes a long way
toward helping you accomplish
professional goals right now,
while personal goals require
more restraint and sensitivity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is rare
these days that you do some-
thing for the sake of doing it,
because the experience is the
main goal. Enjoyment and expan-
sion is the focus now, so get
ready to have a good time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Spending too much time watch-
ing television is dangerous
because passive entertainment
keeps you from interacting with
the ones who will profoundly
influence your future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Boldness is not about putting
your head inside the croco-
diles mouth. Thats foolishness.
Boldness is putting your heart in
the hands of another person and
hoping for mercy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
take ownership of your actions,
partly because youre hyper-
responsible and partly because
you recognize that its the best
way to guide and control your
destiny.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There
are always things in life that you
must do and dont much like
doing. Taking out the garbage
and paying the bills are things
that will make their way into
your day.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
be in the position to choose your
focus. Look at the moral implica-
tions, and let them weigh heavily
on your decision-making pro-
cess. Enjoying what you do is not
a sufficient reason for doing it.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 26).
Keep your ears and eyes open
through the next six weeks as
exciting changes and subtle
shifts are happening behind the
scenes. In September, youll feel
like a veil is lifted. November and
March bring accomplishment
and financial bonus. Libra and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 20, 3, 5, 49 and 1.
