Report: Police scanning, storing pics of motorists license plates
ANNE FLAHERTY
Associated Press
WAShingTOn Chances are, your
local or state police departments have
photographs of your car in their les,
noting where you were driving on a par-
ticular day, even if you never did anything
wrong.
Using automated scanners, law enforce-
ment agencies across the country have
amassed millions of digital records on the
location and movement of every vehicle
with a license plate, according to a study
published Wednesday by the American
Civil Liberties Union. Afxed to police
cars, bridges or buildings, the scanners
capture images of passing or parked vehi-
cles and note their location, uploading
that information into police databases.
Departments keep the records for weeks
or years, sometimes indenitely.
As the technology becomes cheaper
and more ubiquitous, and federal grants
focus on aiding local terrorist detection,
even small police agencies are able to
deploy more sophisticated surveillance
systems. While the Supreme Court ruled
in 2012 that a judges approval is needed
to track a car with gPS, networks of plate
scanners allow police effectively to track a AP Photo
An Alexandria, Va., police car is seen outfitted with a license plate scanner
mounted to the trunk.

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez warms up during Mondays game against
the Reading Fightin Phils, during his rehab appearance with the Trenton Thunder
in Reading.

to rehab with RailRiders this month

MOOSiC First it was The
Captain, now its A-rod.
The new York Yankees
local afliate, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre railriders, have
announced that Alex rodriguez
will be on a rehab assignment at
PnC Field starting with tonights
game against the Louisville Bats.
Team president rob Crain said
as of Wednesday night there
were still tickets available.
rodriguez, who has 647 career
home runs in his 19-year Major
League career the most
among active players and fth
all-time has been out all sea-
son after hip surgery last year.
But he began playing in minor
league games recently, includ-
ing a stop with the Double-A
Trenton Thunder on Monday
and Tuesday at reading. he
went 2-for-7 in those games, with
a two-run homer Monday and an
rBi Tuesday. Prior to that he
spent some time playing for the
Single-A Charleston riverDogs
and Tampa Yankees.
now he has been promoted to
the Triple-A railriders for an
assignment similar to the one
Yankees captain Derek Jeter
made earlier this month.
Jeter, who played in Moosic
from July 5-10 to sellout crowds,
was summoned up to the big
leagues and suffered a thigh inju-
ry in his rst game back with the
Yankees.
Crain, speaking from reno,
nev., Wednesday, where he was
set to watch the Triple-A All-
Star game, said the parent club
has not indicated how long
rodriguez will play in Moosic
but said, like they did with Jeter,
well take it one game at a time.
he said attendance is likely to
be at or close to capacity.
When you have a rehab guy,
you denitely push the needle.
When you have a hall of Fame
rehab guy, it pushes the needle
even further, Crain said.
This is the beauty of being
the Triple-A afliate of the new
York Yankees, Crain said. You
get opportunities like this.
rodriguezs time in a
railriders jersey almost hap-
pened this past weekend when
the team was in Buffalo for a
series. But according to the
Associated Press, he turned
down the assignment, telling
the Yankees he was too worn
down to go, a source familiar
with the plans said.
Though rodriguez has been
off the eld for much of the year,
hes not been out of the head-
lines. he met earlier this month
in Tampa with Major League
Baseball ofcials investigating
the distribution of performance-
enhancing drugs.
his name is among those on a
list of two dozen players being
investigated and facing possible
suspensions as part of the ongo-
ing Biogenesis steroid clinic
scandal.

brush with
real Glory
Some of NEPAs bravest fought in Civil Wars
famed black regiment, 54th Massachusetts
TOM MOONEY
Times Leader Correspondent
One of the most valor-
ous exploits of the Civil
War was the storming
of Fort Wagner by the
famous black regiment
54th Massachusetts
infantry of the U.S. Army.
The story of this band
of free black men led by
white ofcers has been
told and retold through
books and through the
1989 movie, glory.
What is not so well
known, though, is that,
even though the regiment
was planned and assem-
bled in Massachusetts
and led by ofcers from
that state, northeastern
Pennsylvania had strong
representation within its
enlisted ranks.
Today is the 150th
anniversary of that bat-
tle, which showed that
men given little respect
or advantage by society
can still rise to heights of
heroic achievement.
The 54th was not the
rst black regiment in the
Army. That honor went to
two regiments organized
in Union-controlled coast-
al South Carolina in late
1862. Then, early in 1863,

County hiring slowed by
civil service hangups
Delay in employing
caseworkers
frustrates Luzerne
County ofcials who
favor newsystem.
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
The hiring of Luzerne
County Children and Youth
caseworkers has been halt-
ed by delays obtaining a
new applicant eligibility list
from the state civil service,
a county ofcial said.
Children and Youth
Director Frank Castano
told county council the
problem reinforces his push
to get out of the civil ser-
vice program and convert
to an in-house applicant
recruiting system.
County Manager robert
Lawton had directed coun-
ty human services admin-
istrators earlier this year to
develop a proposal to stop
using civil service after
he learned during a state
conference about Berks
Countys switch.
The topic came up dur-
ing a Tuesday budget
session when Council
Chairman Tim Mcginley
asked Castano about his
progress lling vacancies.
The countys 2013 budget
provided funding for 11
additional caseworkers to
bring the count to 100
a number Castano said is
needed to meet the demand
for child abuse and neglect
cases and other services.
County personnel reports
show Castano has hired 16
caseworkers since January
to ll the new positions and
other vacancies. however,

SCRANTON It was anoth-
er long, hot day on Montage
Mountain on Tuesday as the Vans
Warped Tour made its annual
trek to the Toyota Pavilion.
It was also very eclectic as 90
bands graced nine stages and
provided 10 hours of continuous
music in genres such as punk
rock, ska, alternative rock, hip
hop, reggae, pop, metalcore,
post-hardcore and seemingly
endless variations of each.
Thats the beauty of a travel-
ing festival such as the Vans
Warped Tour: It gives the audi-
ence so many different choices
and exposes them to music and
bands they might not otherwise
have encountered. But with so
many choices and so many things
happening at the same time, the
concert-goer can easily become
overwhelmed.
One plan of attack for a day
such as Tuesday, with tempera-
tures in the 90s and high humid-
ity, is to stay under the big tent
and view the bands presented on
the two stages there. You still get
a good cross-sampling of what
the festival had to offer, without
standing in the blazing sun at
one of the satellite stages.
By doing just that, this review-
er was able to take in the sights
and sounds of 10 bands in about
ve hours, as each band was
allotted 30 minutes to make a
connection with the crowd and
hopefully leave them with a last-
ing impression.
Up rst was Forever The
Sickest Kids, an alternative
pop and rock band from Dallas,
Texas. This quintet put on a
good show and used its 30 min-
utes wisely, playing seven of its
most accessible and popular
numbers, as lead singer Jonathan
Cook pulled at, stretched out
and nally tore up his light green
T-shirt. Standouts included
Shes a Lady from 2008s debut
Underdog Alma Mater, What
Do You Want From Me, from
2009 EP The Weekend: Friday,
and Nice To Meet You, the
bands most recent single from
the album J.A.C.K.
Big D and the Kids Table, a
punk/ska/reggae collective from
Boston, was determined to t
in as many songs as humanly
possible. The bands fast-charg-
ing songs with multiple tempo
changes and accented by tenor
saxophone and trombone were
well received as the somewhat
large gathering in front of the
stage body surfed and danced
throughout the performance.
Lead singer David McWane
chastised himself for talking too
much when the band was forced
to cut a song, only making it
through eight in its 30 minutes.
Dayton, Ohios Hawthorne
Heights, a post-hardcore and
alternative rock quintet whose
rst two albums went gold,
played six of its most-popular
tunes to a much-more subdued
crowd than the one that had
just witnessed Big D and com-
pany. Standouts included Silver
Bullet, Saying Sorry and a few
from most-recent album Zero,
with singer JT Woodruff sitting
on the front of the stage for the
nal two numbers.
The Warped Tour took on an
international air as Tonight
Alive, a quintet fronted by Jenna
McDougall which came all the
way from Sydney, Australia, took
over. The band and its 19-year-
old lead singer who has been
described as an ingnue with
attitude, played a handful of pop
punk songs, lmed a promo for
the folks back home and snapped
pictures from the stage. Musical
highlights included debut single
Wasting Away, most recent
one, The Ocean, and set n-
isher, Breaking and Entering.
Story of the Year, a post-hard-
core band from St. Louis, scored
big with Anthem of Our Dying
Day, Wake Up and Until the
Day I Die, which featured bass
guitarist Adam Russell roam-
ing through the crowd, playing
from on top of the chairs in the
100-section and moshing with
fans in the pit in front of the
stage.
Stick to Your Guns, a hardcore
band from Orange County, Calif.,
was not much to my liking, but I
quite enjoyed The Summer Set,
a pop rock band from Scottsdale,
Ariz. Standouts for the latter
included early tunes Someone
Like You and Chelsea and a
handful of tunes from new album
Legendary.
Also took in partial sets from
Action Item, a pop band from
Bergen, N.J., which seemed abso-
lutely thrilled to nally be part of
the Warped Tour (First time
I went to Warped, I was in the
eighth grade, said singer Brian
Cag), Gin Wigmore, a singer-
songwriter from New Zealand,
and The Early November, a pop-
punk band from New Jersey.

Northwest Area
discusses $3M
bond for projects
UNIONTWP.The Northwest Area School
Board moved ahead Wednesday with plans for
a bond issue to nance a projected $3 million
in renovations to three school buildings and the
high school athletic eld.
David Payne of PNC Bank Wilkes-Barre told
the board that based on present proposals he
would have more information available at the
August meeting on bond pricing. He estimated
the nancing package could be completed by
October.
Payne said current rates remain attractively
low.
Superintendent Ronald Grevera presented
a video on the types of repairs that need to
addressed, including: crumbling sidewalks,
curbs, roadways and parking lots; energy inef-
cient windows and doors; the need to replace
outdated electrical generators and heating
plants; stairways in need of repair and a boys
locker room at the high school that has dam-
aged lockers and plumbing facilities in need of
upgrading.
The Quad3 Group of Wilkes-Barre has been
retained to compile at list of projects and
design a plan to effect repairs.
Director Peter Lanza speculated the project
could be executed for less than $3 million, but
there was no other discussion about Lanzas
proposal.
Grevera said many of the projects are not
100 percent at this stage. There will be a
need to prioritize once we get an appraisal
from Quad3, he said.
TOM HUNTINGTON
DALLAS A small farmers
bridge was the big topic of con-
versation Wednesday at the bor-
ough council meeting.
Sylvia Hughes, a borough resi-
dent for 55 years, asked council
members what their plans are
to repair a bridge on Reservoir
Road between West Center Hill
Road and state Route 118. The
bridge, built by a farmer about
50 years ago, was damaged dur-
ing a major storm two years ago
and is impassable.
It would be nice to have
access to that road. Its very
inconvenient. It cant be that
bad of a project, can it? Have we
ever gotten a bid on how much it
would cost? Hughes said.
Council President Lee Eckert
said the borough has an estimate
for repair costs. Its staggering
and we just dont have the
money.
Borough Manager Tracey
Carr said the borough engineer
estimated the cost at $350,000
to $400,000. Its so high because
the bridge goes over wetlands, a
crane would have to be brought
in and overhead power lines
complicate the job further.
Carr said there is a lot of
competition for grants. I dont
know how well a single bridge in
a single municipality on a road
thats not very traveled, how well
that would be seen competitive-
ly. Weve been trying for other
things that affect more of the
municipality.
Could we have a little con-
test and name the bridge after
(a benefactor) or something? Is
there nothing we can do? Must
we settle for the rest of our lives
to have that bridge unrepaired?
Hughes said.
Mayor Timothy Carroll said
there are other things the bor-
ough needs more than the bridge
repaired. For instance, he said,
the street sweeper is shot.
Hughes said she would be
back next year to ask again.
In other business, council
voted unanimously to:
Advertise for a part-time
police ofcer. Carr said patrol
hours are not increasing; she
just wants to have a full pool of
available ofcers.
Promote Frank Kus to Road
Department supervisor, a posi-
tion that had not been lled for
many years. His hourly rate will
increase to $19.
Pay Campbell Business
Machines $4,191 for a new HP
Laserjet Enterprise copier/
printer for the administrative
ofce.
Authorize Quad3 Group
to solicit proposals for a back-
up generator for the municipal
building.
Reappointed H. Clark Lewis
to represent the borough on the
Back Mountain Area Uniform
Construction Code Board of
Appeals.
Amend the Disability Leave
Policy to allow coverage of peo-
ple who already have coverage
through another job. This would
allow volunteer reghters to
receive disability coverage under
the boroughs policy if they were
injured in the line of duty.
Borough Council will have
a special meeting for general
and bidding purposes at 7 p.m.

Nanticoke resident appeals for right-of-way map
NANTICOKE John
Newman, of the Hanover
section of Nanticoke, on
Wednesday night voiced his
frustration that the city appar-
ently does not have a street
map displaying who has the
legal right of way on any given
street within the citys bound-
aries.
Newman began searching
for a map with this informa-
tion on Aug. 19, 2011, when,
he says, he spoke with former
City Manager Holly Cirko. He
was told the citys engineer
would contact him, but never
received a phone call, he said.
City Engineer Daryl
Pawlush, who was in atten-
dance at Wednesdays coun-
cil meeting, said he had no
knowledge of Newmans
request.
Pawlush gave Newman
his cellphone number, but
Newman said he wanted to
discuss the matter after the
meeting. Pawlush agreed with
the request. Pawlush added
that of the 40 municipalities
he is in contact with as an
engineer, none has a street
map of rights of way.
In other matters:
Council approved a reso-
lution that authorizes the l-
ing of a proposal for funds for
the Downtown Street Facade
grant program.
A resident expressed con-
cern that the property at 681
E. Main St. might be being
used as a group home. The
property is maintained by a
Step by Step family and will be
checked by code enforcement
to determine whether the
property is actually being used
as a group home, said Council
President Steven Duda.
Safety day will be held at
Luzerne County Community
Colleges Public Safety
Institute 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Saturday.
The Nanticoke Crime
Watch will meet at 7 p.m. July
31 in City Hall.
The next council meeting
will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 7.
SUSAN BETTINGER
Pittston to inspect all rental units
PITTSTON City
Council updated an ordinance
Wednesday night requiring
biennial safety and re inspec-
tions of all rental units and
businesses.
The goal is to protect the
health and safety of residents
and to clean up dilapidated
and neglected properties,
said City Administrator Joe
Moskovitz. Ive been here
almost three years and the
condition of some of these
properties is criminal, he
said.
Several property owners
came to the meeting to voice
disapproval.
How much money do
you think you can get out
of us? asked resident Tom
McFarland.
Moskovitz said the purpose
of the measure isnt about
making money, its about
safety. We want to help you
protect your property and pro-
tect your neighbors property,
Moskovitz said. Fees will help
beef up code enforcement, he
said.
The former ordinance
didnt provide for the stafng
to conduct such inspections,
he previously said.
The current inspection staff
includes a full-time employee,
Harry Smith, and a part-time
employee who is also part of
theredepartment. Moskovitz
hopes to add another full-time
and another part-time staffer
under a restructured Code
Enforcement ofce.
We need the resources
to enforce these programs
so that the housing stock is
maintained; that is a fact,
Moskovitz said.
There are a minimum of
1,800 units in the city, and
Moskovitz believes that
number will increase once a
new list is compiled. At cur-
rent stafng levels, he said,
there would have to be seven
inspections a day for ve days
a week, 52 weeks a year. But
with added staff, he can get
the number of inspections
down to a more manageable
three a day, Moskovitz said.
Council voted 4-1 in favor of
the measure, with Danny Argo
casting the lone no vote to
the ordinance and a related
list of fees.
According to the ordinance,
rental units will be inspected
for safety and re issues such
as the presence of smoke
alarms and re extinguishers.

Keeping cool

IN BRIEF
LOCAL
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
As daytime temperatures reached the 90s all week, construction crews from Popple Construction continued their work on the side-
walks around Public Square in Wilkes-Barre, making sure to take breaks to stay hydrated.
BILL OBOYLE
boboyle@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE To cope
with extreme heat, Darren Ford,
foreman with Popple Construction
of Lain, said he allows his crew
working on sidewalk installation
near Public Square extra breaks,
and he has plenty of ice water on
hand.
This has been the toughest week
this summer, he said Wednesday.
Temperatures have been in the
90s for several days in a row. But
so far, we havent had any problems
dealing with the heat.
Fords thinking is in line with
what the U.S. Occupational Safety
and Health Administration says
to remember during hot weather:
water, rest, shade.
Every year, thousands of work-
ers become sick from exposure to
heat, and some even die. These ill-
nesses and deaths are preventable,
OSHA said in a news release.
Heat is the top weather-related
killer in the U.S., resulting in hun-
dreds of fatalities each year, OSHA
says. Its statistics show excessive
heat claims more lives each year
than oods, lightning, tornadoes
and hurricanes combined.
According to the agencys web-
site, www.osha.gov, heat disor-
ders generally have to do with a
reduction or collapse of the bodys
ability to shed heat by circulatory
changes and sweating, or a chemi-
cal imbalance caused by too much
sweating.
Mark Stelmack, area director at
OSHAs Wilkes-Barre ofce in the
Stegmaier Building, said he hasnt
received any calls of concern,
despite the prolonged 90-plus
degree temperatures.
We will get some complaints
about air-conditioning not work-
ing in buildings, he said. But
this is a nationwide issue. Were
getting the word out that when the
heat turns up, we want employ-
ers and employees to know how
to deal with it and how to prevent
heat illnesses.
Other hot weather developments
include:
Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center in Plains
Townships emergency room has
seen five or six heat-related cases
in the last week to 10 days, said
Dr. Ronald Strony, director of
emergency medicine. Two of those
individuals elderly patients who
overexerted themselves in the heat
were admitted to the hospital,
he said. Some medications, said
Strony, can make the elderly more
susceptible to heat illnesses.
James McGuire, of
Commonwealth Health System,
said the staff has been seeing an
increase in emergency room visits
for dehydration, overheating and
respiratory problems. Those at
greatest risk include infants and
children up to age 4, those 65 and
older, people who are overweight
and those who are ill or on certain
medications, he said.
Wilkes-Barres splash pad at
Coal Street Park has been inoper-
able for months, but officials say
a new pump was being installed
Wednesday. The water should be
flowing today.
Trula Hollywood, executive
director at the Area Agency on
Aging, said hours could be extend-
ed at the centers if people need
a place to escape the heat. We
havent extended hours this week,
since it looks like the weather will
break over the weekend, she said.
If someone contacts the center
and says they need a cool spot to
be in the evening, we will abso-
lutely staff the center and accom-
modate the person. Seniors may
call the Area Agency on Aging at
822-1158.

III has tentatively been scheduled for early
next month, according to the assistant city
attorney.
The time and date of the public hearing have
yet to be set, as ADR Options of Philadelphia
is in the process of naming an arbitrator for
the proceeding, assistant city attorney William
Vinsko said in an email forwarded Tuesday by
city spokeswoman Liza Prokop.
The city and attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr.,
representing Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing,
agreed to have ADR appoint a neutral arbi-
trator in accordance with the terms of the
$50,050 annual contract LAG signed with the
city on April 29, 2005.
It is likely that the parties counsel will have
a conference to establish the
evidentiary rules and proce-
dures for the arbitration, and,
ultimately, the date, Vinsko
said.
Sklarosky did not respond
to either a phone message left
with his ofce or an email.
Mayor Tom Leighton sus-
pended LAGs contract on May 31 upon the
fling of theft charges against Glodzik by the
Luzerne County District Attorneys Offce.
The ve-year contract had been amended and
extended in May 1, 2009, to run through May
1, 2015.
Glodzik, 42, whose address was listed as
Foote Avenue, Duryea, was caught in a sting
operation in January while stealing $2,100 in
cash from a vehicle he towed in January and
that purportedly had been seized as part of
a drug task force arrest, according to arrest
papers. Glodzik allegedly kept $1,000 and pro-
vided $1,100 to an undercover state police of-
cer working with the FBI.
A preliminary hearing on the charges is
scheduled for Monday before District Judge
Paul Roberts in Kingston.
According to the terms of the towing con-
tract, a mutually agreed upon arbitrator had
to be named within 60 days from the suspen-
sion that the mayor said was permanent in
nature.
The suspension came after repeated calls
from the public for the mayor to terminate
LAGs contract for alleged violations, includ-
ing price gouging and charging fees to people
whose vehicles were reported stolen. At the
recommendation of city council, the mayor
began an in-house investigation of complaints
against LAG. But the mayor said once he was
notifed by Police Chief Gerry Dessoye of the
outside investigation into Glodzik and the city
police department, he and the chief deciding
against taking any ofcial action that might
hinder the probes.
In the interim, Falzone Towing Service
of Wilkes-Barre has been assigned the tow-
ing duties in the city until a new contract is
awarded.

Heroin dispute
apparently led Armoni
Johnson to stab
acquaintance in 2011

WILKES-BARRE Armoni
Johnson rolled the dice and lost.
A Luzerne County jury on
Wednesday found Johnson, 26, guilty
of stabbing Justin Barna three times
during what prosecutors said was a
dispute over heroin.
Johnson initially pleaded guilty to
simple assault and could have faced a
year in jail.
He withdrew his guilty plea to the
misdemeanor charge on Monday,
resulting in atrial that ended with a
conviction on two felony counts of
aggravated assault. The jury acquitted
Johnson of burglary.
Johnson, of Wilkes-Barre, forced
his way into an apartment on Charter
Drive on Aug. 7, 2011, and stabbed
Justin Barna, 32, three times, accord-
ing to Wright Township police.
Assistant District Attorney Mamie
Phillips said Johnson blamed Barna
for stealing heroin and was upset that
Barna refused to allow his apartment
to be used to stash heroin.
Johnson kept his head down on
the table as the jury foreperson read
the verdict. He covered his face with
a piece of paper as sheriff deputies
escorted him from the courthouse to
the county prison.
Judge Fred Pierantoni III said
Johnson will be sentenced on Sept. 30.
He could face more than two years in
state prison.
Johnsons lawyer, AllysonKacmarski,
attacked Barnas credibility, saying
he gave different statements to police
about the stabbing. She suggested to
jurors another person could have been
responsible, as the bloody knife was
found in a neighbors apartment.
Kacmarski further said police did
not thoroughly investigate, claiming
Barnas cellphone records were never
reviewed to determine if Johnson
had indeed called him before being
stabbed. Barna said Johnson had called
asking to keep heroin in the apartment
on Aug. 6.
A co-defendant in the case, Terrill
Mattox, 29, of Wilkes-Barre, is sched-
uled to appear in court on Tuesday
on charges of burglary and aggravated
assault.

nection with his receipt of more than

Feds plan to close mining ofce inWilkes-Barre
ANDREWM. SEDER
aseder@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE
The federal government
has approved plans to con-
solidate two Northeastern
Pennsylvania ofces of the
Department of Labors
Mine Safety and Health
Administration. Under the
proposal, the Wilkes-Barre
ofce would close and this
region would be served by
the Frackville ofce.
According to the adminis-
trations Assistant Secretary
of Administration and
Management T. Michael
Kerr, who signed off on the
proposal last month, the
Wilkes-Barre ofce, in the
Stegmaier Building, at 7
N. Wilkes-Barre Blvd., will
close by May 31.
Of the 11 positions
assigned to Wilkes-Barre
ofce, two are vacant, two
have announced plans to
retire and one has already
requested a move to anoth-
er ofce. The remaining
ve will be offered positions
at ofces in other districts,
according to a Mine Safety
and Health Administration
memorandum obtained by
The Times Leader.
The letter, detailing
the reasoning for the con-
solidation and requesting
approval for the reorganiza-
tion plan, says the action is
necessitated by the reduced
workload of the District 1
ofce.
District 1 is the bureaus
smallest district with only
10 underground mines and
61 surface mines. Of them,
all 10 underground mines
and 50 of the surface mines
are currently overseen by
the Frackville eld ofce.
Since 2006 the number
of underground mines in
District 1 has decreased by
34 percent.
Frackville will then
b e c o m e
part of the
admi ni s-
t rat i ons
Di s t r i c t
2, which
is based
in Mt.
Pleasant,
Westmoreland County,
and serves bituminous
coal mines in western
Pennsylvania.
The plan was met with
questions by U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
including what happens
to the 11 employees in
the Wilkes-Barre ofce
and what safeguards
have been put in place to
ensure safety of miners
in Luzerne County and
the rest of the Northeast
Region that was served out
of the Wilkes-Barre district
ofce.

22die afer eating school lunchinIndia
Food served to poor
children believed to have
been tainted with insecticide
AP Photo
Children who fell sick after eating a free school lunch Wednesday are being treated at a hospital in Patna, India. At least 22
children died and more than two dozen others were sick, Indian officials said Wednesday.
INDRAJIT SINGH
Associated Press
PATNA, India At least 22 children died and
more than two dozen others were sick after eating a
free school lunch that was tainted with insecticide,
Indian ofcials said Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear how chemicals
ended up in the food in a school in the eastern state
of Bihar. One ofcial said the food might not have
been properly washed before it was cooked.
The children, between the ages of 5 and 12, fell
ill Tuesday soon after eating lunch in Gandamal vil-
lage in Masrakh block, 50 miles north of the state
capital of Patna. School authorities immediately
stopped serving the meal of rice, lentils, soybeans
and potatoes as the children started vomiting.
Savita, a 12-year-old student who uses only one
name, said she had a stomach ache after eating soy-
beans and potatoes and started vomiting.
The lunch, part of a popular national campaign
to give at least one daily hot meal to children from
poor families, was cooked in the school kitchen.
The children were rushed to a local hospital and
later to Patna for treatment, said state ofcial
Abhijit Sinha.
In addition to the 22 children who died, another
25 children and the school cook were in hospital
undergoing treatment, P.K. Sahi, the state educa-
tion minister. Three children were in serious condi-
tion.
Authorities suspended an ofcial in charge of
the free meal program in the school and registered
a case of criminal negligence against the school
headmaster, who ed as soon as the children fell ill.
Angry villagers, joined by members of local oppo-
sition parties, closed shops and businesses near
the school and overturned and burned four police
vehicles.
Sahi said a preliminary investigation suggested
the food contained an organophosphate used as an
insecticide on rice and wheat crops. Its believed
the grain was not washed before it was served at
the school, he said.
However, local villagers said the problem
appeared to be with a side dish of soybeans and
potatoes, not grain. Children who had not eaten
that dish were ne, although they had eaten the
rice and lentils, several villagers told the AP.
Sinha said the cooked food and kitchen utensils
have been seized by investigators. Whether it was
a case of negligence or was intentional, we will
only know once the inquiry has been conducted,
he said.
Indias midday meal scheme is one of the worlds
biggest school nutrition programs. It was rst
introduced in southern India, where it was seen as
an incentive for poor parents to send their children
to school.
Since then the programhas been replicated across
the country, covering about 120 million school chil-
dren. Its as part of an effort to address concerns
about malnutrition, from which the government
says nearly half of all Indian children suffer.
Although there have been occasional complaints
about the quality of the food served, or the lack
of hygiene, the tragedy in Bihar appeared to be
unprecedented for the massive food program.

Airline backs of
lawsuit threat
Asiana Airlines said Wednesday it
no longer plans to sue a San Francisco
TV station over the use of racially
offensive names.
The South Korean air carrier said
that KTVU-TV has already apologized
for using fake names for four pilots on
a plane that crashed in San Francisco
on July 6. It will no longer sue, as it
had said it would do.
Asiana says it wants to focus on
supporting passengers and families.
The crash killed three and injured
dozens.
Last week, an anchor for KTVU-TV
read the fake names apparently
someones idea of a prank to use fake
Asian-style names that sounded out
distress calls and curse words on
air and then apologized after a break.
Asiana earlier said the report seri-
ously damaged its reputation. It said
Monday that it would sue the TV
station to respond to the racially dis-
criminatory report that disparaged
Asians.

rare British heat wave for the birth

Asked by a schoolgirl at a public

it to arrive. Im going on holiday.
The queen is shortly expected to
begin her annual summer holiday in

Prince William and his wife are

No popemobile
on Brazil trip
Pope Francis is forgoing the bul-

Churchs youth festival, further evi-
dence that he has no qualms about
tweaking the Vaticans security oper-
ations for the sake of getting closer
to the faithful.
The Vatican said Wednesday that
the Argentine pope will use the same
open-topped car he uses for zoom-
ing around St. Peters Square to
move about Rio de Janeiro, where
he arrives July 22 for the week-long
World Youth Day fest. Hell use a
closed car for longer-distance drives,
but the open-topped car for milling
about the crowds.
In recent times, popes have always
used the protected popemobile for
forays outside Rome. Francis, how-
ever, ended that tradition when he
used an open-topped Fiat during his
recent visit to the Italian island of
Lampedusa.
IN BRIEF
Boehner: Bill aboutbasic fairness
ERICAWERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Legislation offer-
ing citizenship to immigrants brought
illegally to the U.S. as children is about
basic fairness, House Speaker John
Boehner said Wednesday, pointing to
an emerging consensus among House
Republicans as they struggle for a way
forward on immigration.
These children were brought here
of no accord of their own, and frankly
theyre in a very difcult position, the
Ohio Republican said. And I think
many of our members believe that this
issue needs to be addressed.
Boehners comments at a news con-
ference came in response to a ques-
tion about legislation being drafted by
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor,
R-Va., and Judiciary Chairman Bob
Goodlatte, R-Va., that would offer citi-
zenship to certain immigrants brought
here as children.
Details of the bill have not been made
public, but Goodlattes committee is
holding a hearing on the issue next
week.
These in many instances are kids
without a country if we dont allow
them to become full citizens of our
country, Cantor said. It is not only
an issue of fairness, as the speaker said,
its an issue of decency and compassion.
Where else would these kids go?
Boehner and Cantor spoke as they
and other GOP leaders weigh their
options on immigration legislation after
a special House Republican conference
on the issue last week. During that
meeting Boehner pledged not to bring
comprehensive Senate-passed immigra-
tion to the House oor, and to proceed
instead in a step-by-step fashion with
individual bills, focusing rst on border
security.
Theres little consensus among
House Republicans about how to deal
with the 11 million immigrants already
in the country illegally, who would get
eventual citizenship under the Senate
bill. That legislation also aims to boost
border security and workplace enforce-
ment and create new legal means for
hundreds of thousands of high- and low-
skilled workers to come to this country.
Its not clear how or whether the
House would act to deal with the bulk
of immigrants here illegally, or vote on
giving them citizenship. Its too early
to predict what we will or wont do,
Boehner said.
But his comments indicated that, at
the least, the House may act to give cit-
izenship to those brought as children,
though Cantors legislation is expected
to be narrower in scope than DREAM
Act bills that have failed in past con-
gresses. The Judiciary Committee
has also approved bills dealing with
enforcement of immigration laws, agri-
Cuba explains
shipment of
suspicious arms
UAN ZAMORANO
and PETER ORSI
Associated Press
PANAMA CITY Cubas explana-
tion that it buried antiquated weapons
systems under thousands of tons of
sugar and sent them back to North
Korea for repair is potentially credible
but leaves troubling questions unre-
solved, international arms experts
said Wednesday.
Acting on intelligence it hasnt pub-
licly described, Panama seized the
rusting, 34-year-old North Korean
freighter Chong Chon Gang on July
11 as it headed toward the Caribbean
entrance of the Panama Canal on its
way to the Pacic and its nal destina-
tion of North Korea.
Hidden under about 240,000 white
sacks of raw brown Cuban sugar,
Panamanian ofcials found shipping
containers with parts of a radar sys-
tem for a surface-to-air missile defense
system, an apparent violation of U.N.
sanctions that bar North Korea from
importing sophisticated weapons or
missiles.
North Korea has not commented
on the seizure, in which 35 of its
nationals were arrested after resisting
police efforts to intercept the ship in
Panamanian waters last week, accord-
ing to the Central American coun-
trys government. The captain had a
heart attack and also tried to commit
suicide, said Panamanian President
Ricardo Martinelli.
Nearly 24 hours after Panama
announced the nd and said it would
continue searching the ship for more
contraband, Cuba acknowledged late
Monday that the ships cargo included
240 metric tons of obsolete defen-
sive weapons: two Volga and Pechora
anti-aircraft missile systems, nine mis-
siles in parts and spares, two Mig-21
Bis and 15 engines for those airplanes.
The equipment was meant to be
repaired in North Korea and returned
to Cuba, the Cuban government said.
North Korea has a robust capability
to repair and upgrade Soviet-era mili-
tary equipment, and the economically
struggling, isolated nation has a track
record of trading technical help for
commodities such as sugar, experts
said.
At the same time, North Korea is
known to be seeking to evade sanc-
tions and get spare parts for its own
weapons systems, particularly Mig jet
ghters.
That raises the possibility that in
lieu of cash, Cuba was paying for the
repairs with a mix of sugar and jet
equipment, experts said.
We think it is credible that they
could be sending some of these sys-
tem for repair and upgrade work,
said Neil Ashdown, an analyst for IHS
Janes Intelligence. But equally there
is stuff in that shipment that could
used in North Korea and not going
back.
Britains U.N. Ambassador Mark
Lyall Grant said Wednesday that any
weapons transfers, for whatever rea-
son, to North Korea would be a vio-
lation of the sanctions regime and
therefore there are questions to be
answered.

Great Britain
legalizes gay
marriage
CASSANDRAVINOGRAD
Associated Press
LONDON Britain on Wednesday
legalized gay marriage after Queen
Elizabeth II gave her royal stamp of
approval, clearing the way for the rst
same-sex weddings next summer.
Lawmakers cheered as House of
Commons Speaker John Bercow said
royal assent had been given one
day after the bill to legalize same-sex
marriage in England and Wales cleared
Parliament. The queens approval was a
formality and is the last step necessary
for a bill to become law.
The law enables gay couples to get
married in civil and religious ceremo-
nies in England and Wales, provided
that the religious institution consents.
The Church of England, the countrys
ofcial faith, is barred from performing
such ceremonies.
It also will allow couples who had
previously entered into civil partner-
ships which were introduced in 2005
and carry similar rights and responsi-
bilities to marriage to convert their
relationships to marriage.
The British government introduced
the bill in January.
Prime Minister David Cameron
had backed it, but it divided his
Conservative Party and touched off stri-
dent debates in the House of Commons
and House of Lords.
Numerous attempts to derail the
legislation failed as it wound its way
through Parliament, with traditional-
ists arguing it would undermine the
sanctity of marriage.
WILKES-BARRE
Sugarloaf Mountain, the
pyramid-like landmark of
the Conyngham Valley, will
be the latest piece of nature
featured during a free chil-
drens mural painting event
on Sunday organized by
lawyer Jan Lokuta.
Children will have
the opportunity to paint
the Sugarloaf Mountain
mural beginning at 1 p.m
at Nescopeck State Park,
located along Honey Hole
Road, near Drums.
Lokutas passion for art
began in the late 1970s.
Before he went to lawschool
at Dickinson, he worked
with children. To keep them
busy on rainy days he would
create an outline of gures
on a large piece of butcher
paper, tape it on the wall
and have the children color
in the gures.
Hewas inspiredbyFrench
artist Henri Matisse, who
used large, simple forms to
which kids often are drawn.
It is simple, it is colorful
and it is pleasing, Lokuta
said of Matisses work.
Lokuta, a Wyoming
Valley native, started orga-
nizing mural painting
events for children in 2008
at Wilkes-Barre RiverFest
the rst year there was
an emphasis on art and
how it is connected to the
outdoors. That year, Sue
Hand and three other art-
ists painted landscapes.
Now that Lokuta is a
practicing lawyer, he said
he uses art as a way to coun-
terbalance the stress that
comes with his profession.
Matisse was also a lawyer
before nding his niche in
art.
Since 2008, Lokuta has
organized mural paint-
ing events for children in

West Pittston and Berwick.
He continues to organize
these events for kids so they
can get outside, appreciate
nature and be involved in
an activity where they are
creating something, he
said.
Rather than being
inspired by specic works
of art, this mural was
inspired by the Hudson
River School, a group of art-
ists who aimed to capture
beauty and serenity. They
tried to emphasize the gran-
deur of the American land-
scape, Lokuta said.
The mural will be on
a 4-foot-by-5-foot panel.
Sundays event will be the
rst of two art projects held
this summer at the state
park.
The second project, set
for Aug. 31, is designed for
children ages 10 and older.
It will be plein air paint-
ing, during which children
will pick something in the
park and paint it.
No experience is needed
and all supplies will be pro-
vided. Registration is man-
datory. Call the Nescopeck
State Park ofce at 570-403-

WILKES-BARRE An
Edwardsville woman plead-
ed guilty to her role, alleg-
edly with two accomplices,
in an armed robbery of a con-
venience store during which
a clerk was handcuffed.
Katie Rose Kelly, 28, of
Jackson Street, was inside
the Nu Mart store on East
State Street minutes before
it was robbed on Dec. 2,
Larksville police said. Police
believe the robbers wanted
money to support drug
addictions, according to
court records.
Kelly pleaded guilty to
criminal conspiracy to com-
mit robbery on Tuesday.
Luzerne County Judge
David Lupas said Kelly will
be sentenced in September.
Nicholas Reed, 26, of
Scranton, is facing charges
of unlawful restraint and
robbery, and Wayne Taylor,
38, of Philadelphia, is facing
a charge of criminal con-
spiracy to commit robbery in
county court.
According to the criminal
complaints:
A store clerk told police
she was removing a garbage
bag when a man, identied
as Reed, entered the store
armed with a handgun. The
clerk was ordered face down
on the oor and her hands
were handcuffed behind her
back.

Dorothy Ann Buzitsky, 90, a
former resident of Shoemaker
Street, Swoyersville, passed away
on Wednesday morning, July 17,
2013, at the Kingston Health Care

Not a day went by that Dorothy
didnt laugh, make friends, enjoy
and give thanks for her life. She
was always able to nd the good
ineveryone andeverything. When
it came to her two sons, grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren, she
was a seless caregiver until the
end of her life. Her twin sister,
Gertrude, was her best friend
and, in every way, her strongest
support through her recent years
of illness.
In addition to her parents,
Vincent and Anna Perhach, and
her husband, Joseph M. Buzitsky,
Dorothy was preceded in death
by her brothers, Emery, Joseph,
Vincent and John Perhach.

HANoVer tWP. A
Wilkes-Barre man was
arrested Tuesday after he
allegedly forced a woman to
perform oral sex on him.
Township police picked
up William James Esser,
27, on an arrest warrant
and charged him with
involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse, terroristic
threats and simple assault,
police said.
Police allege that Esser
on July 1 offered a ride to
a 25-year-old woman at
Academy and South Main
streets in Wilkes-Barre, and
that the woman accepted
the offer because Esser
seemed polite and had a
4-year-old boy in the
vehicle that he told her
was his son.
Esser allegedly drove to
a secluded area at the end
of Great Valley Boulevard in
Hanover Township, forced
the woman to perform oral
sex on him and told her to
quit screaming or he would
kill her and leave her there,
police said, adding that
the woman suffered minor
injuries in the incident.
Esser then allegedly drove
the woman back to Wilkes-
Barre and dropped her off.
She provided police with
a description of the vehicle
and a license plate number
and other information
related to the suspect, all
of which aided police in
identifying Esser, police
said.
Esser was arraigned
before District Judge
Joseph Halesey. Unable
to post 10 percent of his
$20,000 bail, Esser was
jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility. His
preliminary hearing is
scheduled for July 30.
PlAiNS tWP. Township
police reported the
following:
Officers responded to A1
Diamond & Gold on state
Route 315 on July 11 for a
burglary report. Officers
found a window smashed
out on the north side of
the building. The building
was entered and then an
adjacent entry door to
Interim Health Care was
forced open.
The owner of A1 reported
a small safe and a diamond
tester stolen. Nothing
was reported stolen from
Interim.
Anyone with information
should contact township
police at 570-829-3432.
Julia Plesnarski
reported on July 11 that
someone scratched the
side of her car while it was
parked at the Mohegan Sun
Casino.
Zaida Pena, of West
Hazleton, reported on
Saturday that someone
entered her vehicle while it
was parked at the Mohegan
Sun Casino and stole her
Sony CD player.

Mountain Top, reported
on Monday that someone
slashed the passenger-side
tires on her vehicle while it
was parked at the Mohegan
Sun Casino.
The vehicle had to be
towed for repairs.
Lisa Pernot, of Dupont,
reported Monday that while
her vehicle was parked
near the emergency room
entrance to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical
Center, someone smashed
the rear passenger window
and stole her pink Coach
purse containing various
documents and cards.
HAZletoN City police
reported the following:
Police said Brandon
Zeigler, 22, of Weatherly, was
driving a silver Chevrolet
Blazer east on East Broad
Street near Wilson Drive at
about 3:05 p.m. when the
Blazer struck the rear of a
silver and maroon Chevrolet
Astro van that Jairelys
Benitez Perez, of Hazleton,
was also was driving east on
East Broad Street.
Zacharie Smith, 21, of
Hazle Township, a passenger
in Zeiglers vehicle, was
transported by APTS to
Hazleton General Hospital.

to the 100 block of West
Magnolia Street at 8:43
p.m. Tuesday for a report

Lawton fexible on big, bond-funded projects
Luzerne County manager reviews options with council, calls for accountability with funds
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County
Manager Robert Lawton
told county council most
of his plans to spend the
rest of the countys $14.4
million in past-borrowed
funds are not set in stone.
These are the projects
for which bond funds are
earmarked at this time,
Lawton said.
The bond-funded proj-
ects in his capital projects
budget presented to coun-
cil include reconstruction
of the rear courthouse
parking lot and grounds,
construction of a record
storage facility and
replacement of the court-
house roof the nal
project needed to stop
leaks damaging the inte-
rior of the historic struc-
ture.
During a public hearing
on the proposal Tuesday,
Kingston resident Brian
Shiner urged county of-
cials to cancel some of the
projects on the list, such
as the records facility. The
county wont be in a posi-
tion to borrow for many
years and should keep the
money for emergencies
that might arise, he said.
This is a very lofty
plan, said Shiner. I think
its a little too expensive
for our county at this
time.
Lawton said some of
the work might not mate-
rialize through 2015 as
projected, but he wants
to keep the money pro-
grammed for specic pur-
poses. He pointed to the
decision of prior admin-
istrations to give county-
borrowed funds to local
government and commu-
nity organizations, which
he described as the big
giveaway.
Were not in a rush to
spend these funds, but we
do need a way to propose
uses and keep track of ear-
marks and not just leave a
big sack of money just like
in the cartoons with a dol-
lar sign on it and a rope on
the top, Lawton said.
The county must repay
$330 million in borrowed
funds $430 million
with interest and fees
through 2027, he said.
Council members have
expressed an interest in
using savings or unexpect-
ed revenue to pay down
the debt sooner.
Instead, Lawton said
Tuesday both he and the
countys nancial advis-
ers believe excess funds
should be placed in a
reserve fund to demon-
strate the countys abil-
ity to save, which should
help the countys quest
to obtain a credit rating
needed to renance debt
to lower interest rates.
Then we will have a
chance to take a big bite
out of the debt, Lawton
said.
Councilman Eugene
Kelleher asked Lawton
what capital projects he
would pursue if the county
had its nancial house in
order.
Lawton said he would
invest in improvements
at county-owned Moon
Lake Park in Plymouth
Township. Ive said this
before. That should be the
peoples country club, he
said.
He also would build
a new county prison to
replace the aging, ve-
story structure on Water
Street, Wilkes-Barre,
which requires more staff-
ing and maintenance than
a modern facility. It will
save us money on operat-
ing costs and would be a
safer place for our staff to
work, he said.
Councilwoman Elaine
Maddon Curry said she
recently visited three cit-
ies and they all took great
pride in recreation for
residents and visitors. If
we can nd savings and
restore Moon Lake Park
to become the gem of this
county, I think that would
be a very worthwhile
endeavor, she said.
Council must adopt
the capital plan by Sept.
1, according to the home
rule charter. The plan is
posted on the managers
page of the county web-
site, www.luzernecounty.
org.
Glory
From page 1A
received Washingtons OK to recruit
a black regiment of its own.
When insufcient numbers turned
out from the states very small minor-
ity population, Massachusetts Gov.
John A. Andrew headed a drive to
establish special recruiting stations
from Boston to St. Louis. Some of
those stations were in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvanians respond
Eventually an estimated 140 black
men from Pennsylvania joined the
new regiment, which was designat-
ed the 54th Massachusetts USCT
(United States Colored Troops).
Among the 54ths Pennsylvania
troops, one large group, 14 men,
joined from the area of Montrose in
Susquehanna County, described by
historian William C. Kashatus in a
2007 Pennsylvania Heritage maga-
zine article as the most active abo-
litionist area in the Keystone States
Endless Mountains.
These men knew the evils of slav-
ery rst-hand. Some of that countys
black residents had been helped north-
ward, at risk of their lives, along the
famous Underground Railroad by
the Wilkes-Barre abolitionist William
Gildersleeve, Kashatus writes.
Monroe County contributed sev-
eral men to the 54th as well. This fall,
reported the Pocono Record recently,
a Stroudsburg-area group will dedi-
cate a plaque to all the black and
Native American Civil War troops
from that county.
Wilkes-Barre connections
There were some soldiers with
Luzerne County ties as well. At least
one man from Wilkes-Barre, Henry
Johnson, joined the 54th, said histo-
rian Emerson Moss in his 1991 book
African-Americans in the Wyoming
Valley.
Yet another member of the 54th,
Moses Morris, who joined from
Cleareld County in the western
part of the state, moved to Wilkes-
Barre after the war. Morris was hit
by a Mini ball and shrapnel in the
storming of the fort, writes histo-
rian Ryan L. Lindbuchler in his 2001
book, Gone But Not Forgotten:
Civil War Veterans of Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
While the 54th Massachusetts
USCT had a long and meritorious
history in the Civil War, and an esti-
mated 1,100 men eventually served
in its ranks, it is the attack on Fort
Wagner (sometimes called Battery
Wagner) that forever marked it as a
ghting force of destiny.
Commanded by Bostonian Col.
Robert Gould Shaw, the regiment
arrived in coastal South Carolina in
1863 about 600 strong with its staff
of white ofcers and its black enlisted
personnel. It was part of the Armys
X Corps, which contained three divi-
sions. The 54th was in the division
tasked with capturing the Confederate
stronghold of Fort Wagner, which
protected the important Confederate
port city of Charleston.
Fort Wagner would be a difcult
objective. Located on Morris Island,
it could be approached only across a
narrow piece of land, which made it
easy for the forts defenders to con-
centrate their re on attackers.
First attack failed
An initial attack on the fort with
other regiments failed. Then, early
on the evening of July 18, Maj. Gen.
Quincy Gillmore ordered a new series
of attacks, with the 54th spearhead-
ing the rst of them.
Taking heavy casualties from
Confederate re, the men of the 54th
and the other regiments reached the
fort but lacked the strength to over-
run and capture it.
In the process the 54th lost nearly
half its personnel to death and injury,
including Col. Shaw.
A second attack by additional regi-
ments also failed.
Technically, the battle was a loss
for the Union. But reports of the
54ths bravery soon circulated in the
North, and black troops began to win
the nations respect for their cour-
age and toughness alongside their
white fellow soldiers. Eventually,
about 200,000 black troops served
in the U.S. Army, according to the
Historical Times Encyclopedia of
the Civil War.
The Fort Wagner attack was by
no means the end of the line for the
54th Massachusetts USCT. In time,
the regiment rebuilt its strength and
served in many engagements until
the end of the war in spring of 1865.
While the troops dispersed after
the war, the regiment has never been
forgotten.
Perhaps the most lasting honor
paid to the 54th by its home state
is the famous sculpture by Saint-
Gaudens on Boston Common, placed
there in the late 1800s. In that sculp-
ture, Col. Shaw and his troops are
depicted marching forward forward
to their destiny as one of the brav-
est and most storied regiments of
Americas Civil War.
Hiring
From page 1A
the reports indicate the
department is still down 10
caseworkers due to seven
resignations, two termina-
tions and one job shift this
year to date.
The state wont provide
a fresh list of qualied
applicants until Castano
closes out the current list,
which he has exhausted,
he said. The close-out cant
be completed until a nal
applicant on the current
list starts work, and she
cant begin employment
until she obtains her col-
lege degree at the end of
August, he said.
Its troublesome to me
that I have to wait so long,
said Castano. If I were
able to get over that hurdle
with civil service and end
those delays, Id be able to
ll them.
Lawton told Castano the
situation is roadblocking
your ability to appoint any-
one else in her place and
asked if theres a way to cir-
cumvent the restriction.
Castano said his hands
are tied due to civil ser-
vice regulations. Lawton
described the regulation as
asinine.
The state is supporting
initiatives to pull out of
civil service, Castano said.
To obtain the required
state approval, county of-
cials must prove employees
will be sought, selected and
promoted through merit
and open competition and
receive adequate compen-
sation and training, of-
cials say.
Civil service ranking
The Pennsylvania State
Civil Service Commission
develops and administers
job-specic tests to gener-
ate its ranked lists of quali-
ed candidates. The com-
missions system is used by
37 state agencies and 300
local government ofces,
according to the state web-
site.
Luzerne Countys
Aging, Mental Health and
Developmental Services
and Drug and Alcohol
departments also are part
of civil service.
County Councilman Jim
Bobeck, who has raised the
issue at past meetings, said
the civil service system
is too bureaucratic and
causes the county to lose
applicants who would send
in resumes but not bother
with the civil service test-
ing process.
Lawton said several
other counties statewide
have converted to their
own recruitment programs.
County Interim Human
Services Director Mary
Dysleski has agreed to
develop a proposal for
Lawton. Turnover in
Children and Youth case-
worker positions, which
start at $31,764, is not new,
she said.
Many hired applicants
are fresh out of college and
realize the demanding posi-
tion is not a good t, she
said. Some with experience
leave to take higher-paying
and often less stressful
jobs with the state or
other agencies.
A childs life is in their
hands, and thats a lot
of responsibility. Its not
easy walking into a home
and taking children out,
Dysleski said. You have
to have a certain personal-
ity to do this work for an
extended period of time.

Rally fres up Catholic teens
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
Catholic teens in eighth through 12th grades from areas such as Allentown, Harrisburg and Williamsport spent the day Wednesday celebrating their religion at
Misericordia University. The Light the Fire Youth Rally presented by the Combined Youth Ministry included inspirational workshops, music, games, Holy Hour,
Reconciliation and a closing Mass. The guest presenter was Steve Angrisano and the MC was Sean Malloy, a youth minister from the Diocese of Harrisburg. Full
Armor, a group of high school and college students from New York, provided the music.
Homeless advocate testifes at Pa. voter ID trial
HARRISBURG A wit-
ness described his efforts
to help homeless people
in Philadelphia qualify for
state photo identication
cards, and lawyers clashed
over a year-old survey that
showed large numbers of
voters lacking acceptable
IDs as a trial on the consti-
tutionality of Pennsylvanias
yet-to-be-enforced voter ID
law reached its third day
Wednesday.
Late in the day, a lawyer
for plaintiffs seeking to over-
turn the law began ques-
tioning Jonathan Marks,
a high-ranking elections
ofcial, about the evolution
of a special Pennsylvania
Department of State photo
ID that is available to vot-
ers who cannot obtain other
acceptable identication but
the testimony was continued
until today.
Adam Bruckner, 38, told
Commonwealth Court Judge
Bernard McGinley that
Philly Restart, a group he
founded in 2002, routinely
covers the fees for homeless
people seeking identication
they need to work and vote.
The group sponsors week-
ly gatherings in Center City
at which people referred by
shelters and relief agencies
can get a meal and a check
to cover fees of $13.50 for a
PennDOT-issued non-driver
photo ID or $10 for a birth
certicate copy from the
state Health Department,
which may be a prerequisite
for an ID.
Between 100 and 150
people typically showup and
each event brings mostly
new faces, Bruckner said.
The Pennsylvania
Department of
Transportation cards are
secure IDs that not only
comply with Pennsylvanias
pending voter ID law and
can get a traveler through an
airline security checkpoint,
but can help a person get
a job. Bruckner said many
homeless people are trapped
in a vicious cycle in which
they want to work but cant
afford the ID they need to
get hired.
As for voting, he said,
Their vote means a lot to
them because sometimes its
the only voice they have.
The privately nanced
group spends about $50,000
a year on the ID program,
Bruckner said.

Redevelopment
authority awards
contract to fx
7 train bridges
WEST PITTSTON
The Luzerne County
Redevelopment Authority
board briey discussed
some high-ticket items at its
Tuesday meeting, including
a $240,550 contract with
Atlas Construction Co. for
repairs to seven railroad
bridges in ve counties, and
a total of $245,0276 received
from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for
extensive ood damage
repairs at the authoritys
Luzerne Avenue ofce build-
ing.
Board secretary and
authority ofce manager
Margaret Thomas said
the repairs to the railroad
bridges would be covered
primarily with a $168,385
grant from the states Rail
Freight Assistance Program.
The remainder would be
funded by the Luzerne and
Susquehanna Railway, which
leases the track and bridges
owned by the authority.
Thomas said the lease
requires the railway to
maintain track, while bridge
maintenance is the responsi-
bility of the authority.
Thomas also told the
board FEMA had increased
the amount it would pay
for repairs of the authority-
owned ofce building in
West Pittston caused by the
2011 ooding.
Total estimated dam-
age was about $750,000,
Thomas said. Flood insur-
ance maxed out at $500,000
but the actual payment was
about $383,000 after claims
adjusters accounted for
depreciation of older assets.
Thomas said FEMA initially
allocated $170,890 toward
restoration of the building,
but that gure didnt take
into account upgrades for
code compliance. FEMA
took those costs into con-
sideration and increased the
amount for the building.
On the plus side, Thomas
reported a new tenant
moved into the building,
renting 760 square feet, and
two potential tenants are
looking at renting a total of
about 450 square feet.
Other costs loom. Thomas
told the board that authority
staff met with paving con-
tractors to get an estimate
on repair of potholes at the
Market Street Square park-
ing lot near the train sta-
tion, and the estimate was
$31,267. She said a contrac-
tor suggested a tar-and-
chip coating that would be
considerably less expensive
but also less durable. The
board took no action.
And the board was told
a private company had pur-
chased property adjacent to
railroad property owned by
the authority. The private
property had become an
illegal dumping ground that
was cleaned up, but dump-
ers were accessing it by
crossing railroad land. The
new owner has asked the
Redevelopment Authority to
install gates to limit access.
The board asked Thomas to
get an estimate.

PITTSBURGH
Pitt tuition climbing
once more
University of Pittsburghs
board of trustees voted
Wednesday to raise tuition
at its main campus and
three out of four regional
campuses.
Tuition rates at its main
campus will rise 3.25 per-
cent for in-state and out-of
state students.
A Pennsylvania student
in the Kenneth P. Dietrich
School of Arts and Sciences
the largest school in
the university will pay
$255 more than last years
tuition of $15,730.
Out-of-state students will
pay $413 more than last
years tuition of $25,420.
Pitt ofcials said tuition
increases were needed
partly because Pitts appro-
priation from the state of
Pennsylvania remained
at this year. Chancellor
Mark Nordenberg wrote
in a statement that Pitt is
grateful for Harrisburgs
commitment to at fund-
ing, but he noted that,
unadjusted for ination,
Pitts appropriation is about
what it received in the mid-
1990s.
ERIE
Planetarium being
donated to college
The Erie County
Historical Society plans
to donate the Erie
Planetarium to nearby
Penn State-Behrend, with
plans to move the astrono-
my dome to the campus by
October.
The planetarium has
been housed since 1959
inside the Watson-Curtze
Mansion carriage house,
which is owned by the
historical society. The
nonprot historical group
wants to consolidate its
holdings and build an
archive at the mansion, and
executive director Caleb
Pifer says the planetarium
no longer ts the mission
of the historical society.
Ofcials at Behrend, one
of several Penn State satel-
lite campuses, plan to make
room for the planetarium
inside its School of Science
complex. Construction
to do that will begin next
month.

Problems cited
with home rule
I hear more and more people say-
ing that Luzerne County home rule
government has not lived up to their
expectations.
A common criticism: home rule
charter does not provide adequate
checks and balances.
The council-manager form of gov-
ernment is the most popular structure
of local government in the United
States. I believe the perceived prob-
lem revolves around not following
the provisions in the charter, not the
charter itself. Checks built into the
charter include a controller watchdog
function; accountability, conduct and
Ethics (ACE) commission and an
11-member council, all oversight func-
tions to help keep government honest
and effective. Unfortunately, all three
have had limited success. Controller
audits are generally disregarded,
his charter-mandated unrestricted
access denied; ACE commission has
dismissed all 13 complaints brought
before them; and a majority of the
part-time council members lack a
fundamental understanding of govern-
ment operations and policy-making
experience.
Edward Demings said, It is not
enough to do your best; you must
know what to do, and then do your
best.

True Catholics
dont back Plan B
Congressman Matt Cartwrights
no vote on the Pain Capable Unborn
Child Protection Act, which would
ban abortions after 20 weeks, is rep-
rehensible. I realize that he and Sen.
Bob Casey always profess to be prac-
ticing Catholics.
With regard to Plan B, Senator
Casey stated, I have serious concerns
about providing unfettered access
to these drugs to children. I support
access to contraceptives, including
Plan B, but believe that decisions
regarding its availability should be
made very carefully and with a mea-
sure of common sense. Since the
manufacturer of Plan B has stated
that the drug can cause an abortion,
my suggestion is for Senator Casey
to sponsor a bill to stop it from being
sold over the counter.
Both the senator and the congress-
man must know that claiming to be
Catholic carries a great responsibility.
It means nothing to say youre a prac-
ticing Catholic if youre not willing to
stand up and truly be one.

Must our games be
flled with violence?
I read where Judge Tina Gartley,
District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
and Mr. Carmen Ambrosino, a long-
time leader in the ght against ille-
gal drugs, have launched a program
targeting youths in an attempt to
reduce gun violence. They will be
swimming against riptide of popular
culture that glories remorseless,
gratuitous and graphic violence in
movies, TV dramas and video games.
It is noteworthy that Adam Lanza,
the Columbine murderers and oth-
ers were hooked on violent video
games. However, the psychiatrists
on retainer for the producers of
this material insist that there is no
relationship between a violent video
game and a specic act of violence.
Their lawyers cite protections of the
First Amendment and the producers
c ite freedom of artistic expression.
Vice President Joe Biden met with
these producers and he was told that
nothing would change. Hence, the
issue was dropped. Finally, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled in favor of the
game producers.
It is true that the proximate cause
of a specic crime of violence and a
video game is difcult if not impossi-
ble to prove. But the question should
be whether we need this excessive
violence in games and entertainment
at all, particularly where youngsters
are concerned. Our entertainment
appears to be more banal as each
week passes.
I red an M16 for the rst and last
time at the range at Eglin AFB in
1967. I was a Squadron Commander.
During conversion of aircraft I was
a range ofcer. Consequently, I was
well informed regarding military
ordnance. I had an opportunity to
observe a youngster play one of
these games. It was Call of Duty.
In this game, the hero was armed
with the M16. The enemies were
killed in gory detail, with heads and
arms exploding from full automatic
gunre. Not a scratch on the hero.
Moreover, the youngster showed
me a list of optional weaponry. It
included RPGs, Claymore mines,
grenades, and, a dozen different
kinds of military assault weapons.
In short, this child knew more about
the operational characteristics of
military ordnance than I did as an
Air Force ofcer! I asked him if
there was an age limit on the acces-
sibility to these kinds of games. He
said, Yeah. Seventeen. He stated
his parents bought it for him. Our
culture has been so conditioned
to gratuitous violence that parents
dont think twice about the games
they purchase for youngsters. Being
interactive, the youngster can experi-
ence a real rush while playing the
game. Incidentally, this is a good
kid.
Last week on The View, a producer
displayed a facsimile assault rie
to be used in playing violent video
games. The youngster can load and
lock the action and ram magazines
into the receiver. The producers two
boys, ages 9 and 11, play the games.
Hence, our youngsters, in the virtual
world, can keep pace with the child
soldiers in Africa and elsewhere.
We are so addicted to violence that
signs have to be placed on fences at
Little League games reminding par-
ents not to attack ofcials because
of a bad call. Major league sports
now have bench-clearing brawls on a
regular basis.
The Romans enjoyed the gratu-
itous violence in the Coliseum, we
observe it in the virtual world of the
movie theater and on the TV moni-
tor. The violence is virtual, but the
rush is the same. The gun, in the
minds of some is inherently evil.
Some evil people do misuse guns and
they should be prohibited from own-
ing them.
Conversely, many youngsters enjoy
legitimate shooting activities i.e.
skeet, trap, sporting clays, com-
petitive rie and pistol shooting.
A young lady won a gold medal in
shotgun competition at the summer
Olympics.
She was ignored by the media.
These youngsters come from well-
adjusted families and never commit
crimes. And in fairness, youngsters
who play violent video games are not
the typical mass murderer.
The question still remains, must
games and entertainment be so vio-
lent?

YOUr OpiniOn: letters FrOMreADers
More laws will only
hurt more women
Dr. Kermit Gosnells conviction for
killing three babies born alive has been
cited around the country by politicians
pushing for more abortion restrictions,
supposedly to prevent further such
atrocities. But passing more unneces-
sarily stringent laws may actually put
more women in jeopardy by closing
clinics and limiting access to safe and
legal abortions.
Lawmakers in several states have
followed Pennsylvanias lead by sub-
jecting abortion procedures and clin-
ics to further restrictions that are
more likely to shut down responsible
providers than to improve patient
safety. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Gov.
Christie has again cut state funding for
Planned Parenthood and other family-
planning clinics, which are often the
only option for poor women.
Bad clinics that recklessly endanger
women and their unborn children, like
the house of horrors operated by
Gosnell, should be closed immediately.
Indeed, his Philadelphia clinic could
have been shut down years earlier if
existing regulations were enforced.
But stopping the next Gosnell is not
the true motive behind the latest round
of abortion restrictions. Rather, this is
another assault on womens reproduc-
tive health rights in the continuing
battle over abortion.
Already this year, state lawmakers
around the country have enacted 43
measures restricting abortion the
second-highest total on record, accord-
ing to the Guttmacher Institute, a
reproductive-health research group
that supports abortion rights. Bills
debated by legislatures in North
Carolina and Texas last week represent
blatant attempts to shut down abor-
tion clinics by imposing restrictions
that would make it too costly for them
to stay open. Antiabortion measures
have also passed in Ohio, Virginia,
Wisconsin, North Dakota, Mississippi,
Alabama, and Arizona.
The Texas Senate passed a bill Friday
that would ban abortions after 20
weeks of pregnancy and require clinics
to meet more stringent stafng stan-
dards. All but ve of the 42 abortion
clinics in Texas will likely be forced to
close as a result. Without access to a
nearby clinic, poor women in particular
could nd themselves unable to obtain
safe abortions. That could lead them to
unsanitary, unscrupulous facilities
the kind Gosnell operated for decades
as regulators looked the other way.
Since Pennsylvania imposed new
clinic regulations a year ago, the num-
ber of abortion providers in the state
has dropped from22 to 17. And only 13
of those providers have been approved
to perform surgical abortions.
In New Jersey, six clinics have
been forced to close and others have
reduced their hours since Christie cut
funding in 2010 supposedly due to a
budget shortfall, rather than his desire
to burnish his antiabortion credentials.
The funding was shared by 58 clinics
that once provided 136,000 uninsured
people with basic health-care services,
including mammograms, gynecologi-
cal exams, and blood-pressure screen-
ing.
Democratic lawmakers have made
valiant but unsuccessful efforts to
restore the funding every year since.
These attacks on reproductive health
care not only undermine womens
access to vital services and their right
to make difcult personal decisions
free from government intrusion. They
will also force more women to seek out
the sort of unscrupulous abortion pro-
viders that proponents of stricter rules
claim to abhor.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
On major fronts,
Congress failing
Despite the Senate compromise
Tuesday on lifting libusters on White
House nominees, the inactivity of
Congress in meeting the needs of the
nation may have hit rock bottom.
Last week three issues requiring
action were immigration reform, col-
lege loan rates and the so-called farm
bill.
On immigration, a jumble of rules,
some obsolete legislation and chang-
ing times have left 11 million U.S. resi-
dents in limbo. They are impossible to
deport and have no viable road to citi-
zenship. Instead, lawmakers and their
campaign donors are eager to build
more walls along the Mexican border.
Abipartisan bill passed by the Senate
offers a road out of the swamp, but
Republicans, who control the House of
Representatives, condemned it, taking
pride in their opposition. They did this
aware of the likelihood that the party
would pay a price in the 2014 elections
from the growing number of Hispanic-
American voters. Never mind the
countrys immigrant heritage.
The second congressional fumble
occurred on student loan rates. It is
remarkable that, while America needs
to rebuild its own economy and com-
pete better globally, Congress could
not rescind the doubling of the inter-
est rate on federal Stafford loans,
which jumped from 3.4 percent to 6.8
percent. Republicans want to tie the
interest to a commercial rate, in effect
putting more money into the hands of
bankers and other lenders and taking it
out of the hands of needy students and
their families.
The only rational explanation is that
the banks are the ones that bear the
risk and the borrowing that is not paid
back.
The nal insult came in the farm
bill. Normally the measure is a devils
bargain of huge subsidies for big,
industrial growers combined with food
stamps for the poor. This time House
Republicans and Democrats couldnt
agree on how much in food stamps
needed to be part of the package, so
they passed a bill with the subsidies in
and food stamps left out.
This congressional folly occurs when
the number of Americans qualifying
for food stamps has gone up substan-
tially, beginning with the recession in
2008 and continuing through the slow
recovery. Unfortunately, more than 15
percent of the Americans who are poor
and eligible for food stamps are
children.
Add them to the list of others
students and immigrants whom
Congress failed to serve last week.

Radar
From page 1A
a drivers location, some-
times several times every
day, with few legal restric-
tions. The ACLU says the
scanners assemble what
it calls a single, high-
resolution image of our
lives.
Theres just a funda-
mental question of wheth-
er were going to live in a
society where these drag-
net surveillance systems
become routine, said
Catherine Crump, a staff
attorney with the ACLU.
The civil rights group
is proposing that police
departments immediately
delete any records of cars
not linked to a crime.
Law enforcement offi-
cials said the scanners
can be crucial to track-
ing suspicious cars, aid-
ing drug busts and find-
ing abducted children.
License plate scanners
also can be efficient. The
state of Maryland told the
ACLU that troopers could
maintain a normal patrol
stance while capturing
up to 7,000 license plate
images in a single eight
hour shift.
At a time of fiscal and
budget constraints, we
need better assistance for
law enforcement, said
Harvey Eisenberg, chief
of the national security
section and assistant U.S.
attorney in Maryland.
Law enforcement offi-
cials also point out that
the technology is legal
in most cases, automat-
ing a practice thats
been done for years. The
ACLU found that only
five states have laws gov-
erning license plate read-
ers. New Hampshire, for
example, bans the tech-
nology except in narrow
circumstances, while
Maine and Arkansas limit
how long plate informa-
tion can be stored.
Theres no expecta-
tion of privacy for a
vehicle driving on a pub-
lic road or parked in a
public place, said Lt.
Bill Hedgpeth, a spokes-
man for the Mesquite
Police Department in
Texas, which has records
stretching back to 2008,
although the city plans
next month to begin
deleting files older than
two years. Its just a
vehicle. Its just a license
plate.
In Yonkers, N.Y., just
north of the Bronx, police
said retaining the infor-
mation indefinitely helps
detectives solve future
crimes. In a statement,
the department said it
uses license plate read-
ers as a reactive inves-
tigative tool that is only
accessed if detectives are
looking for a particular
vehicle in connection to
a crime.
These plate read-
ers are not intended nor
used to follow the move-
ments of members of the
public, the departments
statement said.
But even if law enforce-
ment officials say they
dont want a public loca-
tion tracking system, the
records add up quickly.
In Jersey City, N.J., for
example, the population
is only 250,000 but the
city collected more than
2 million plate images
on file. Because the city
keeps records for five
years, the ACLU esti-
mates that it has some
10 million on file, mak-
ing it possible for police
to plot the movements of
most residents depend-
ing upon the number and
location of the scanners,
according to the ACLU.
The ACLU study,
based on 26,000 pages
of responses from 293
police departments and
state agencies across the
country, also found that
license plate scanners
produced a small frac-
tion of hits, or alerts to
police that a suspicious
vehicle has been found.
In Maryland, for exam-
ple, the state reported
reading about 29 million
plates between January
and May of last year.
Of that amount, about
60,000 or roughly 1 in
every 500 license plates
were suspicious.
The No. 1 crime? A
suspended or revoked
registration, or a viola-
tion of the states emis-
sions inspection program
accounted for 97 percent
of all alerts.
Eisenberg, the assis-
tant U.S. attorney, said
the numbers fail to show
the real qualitative assis-
tance to public safety and
law enforcement. He
points to the 132 wanted
suspects the program
helped track. They were
a small fraction of the 29
million plates read, but
he said tracking those
suspects can be critical to
keeping an area safe.
Also, he said, Maryland
has rules in place restrict-
ing access for criminal
investigations only. Most
records are retained for
one year in Maryland,
and the states privacy
policies are reviewed by
an independent board,
Eisenberg noted.
At least in Maryland,
there are checks, and
there are balances, he
said.

AP sources: Senators reach deal on student loans
PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Heading off
a costly increase for returning col-
lege students, a bipartisan group of
senators reached a deal Wednesday
that would offer students better
rates on their loans this fall but per-
haps assign higher rates in coming
years.
The deal would offer students
lower interest rates through the
2015 academic year, but then rates
were expected to climb above
where they were when students
left campus this spring. The inter-
est rates would be linked to the
nancial markets, but Democrats
won a protection for students that
rates would never climb higher
than 8.25 percent for undergradu-
ate students. Graduate students
would not pay rates higher than
9.5 percent and parents rates
would top out at 10.5 percent.
Under the deal, all undergradu-
ates this fall would borrow at 3.85
percent interest rates. Graduate
students would have access to
loans at 5.4 percent and parents
would be able to borrow at 6.4
percent. Those rates would climb
as the economy improves and it
becomes more expensive for the
government to borrow money.
The deal was described by
Republican and Democratic
aides who insisted on anonymity
because they were not authorized
to discuss the ongoing negotia-
tions.
Undergraduates last year bor-
rowed at 3.4 percent or 6.8 percent,
depending on their nancial need.
Graduate students had access to
federal loans at 6.8 percent and
parents borrowed at 7.9 percent.
A vote on the agreement
could come as early as Thursday,
although it could be pushed back
to the middle of next week depend-
ing on the Senate calendar.
The bipartisan agreement is
expected to be the nal in a string
of efforts that have emerged from
near constant work to undo a rate
hike that took hold for subsidized
Stafford loans on July 1. Rates
for new subsidized Stafford loans
doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8
percent, adding roughly $2,600 to
students education costs.
Lawmakers from both parties
called the hike senseless but dif-
fered on how to restore the lower
rates. Republicans have pushed
for a link between interest rates
and the nancial markets. Obama
included that link in his budget pro-
posal, as did House Republicans.
Democrats balked, saying it could
produce government prots on the
backs of borrowers if rates contin-
ued to climb.
Leaders from both parties, how-
ever, recognized the potential to
be blamed for the added costs in
the 2014 elections if nothing were
done.
The House has already passed
student loan legislation that also
links interest rates to the 10-year
Treasury note.
Bomber as rock star? Rolling Stone cover outrages
Many say the picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev glamorizes terrorism
LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
NEW YORK Sultry eyes burn
into the camera lens from behind
tousled curls. A scruff of sexy
beard and loose T-shirt are bathed
in soft, yellow light.
The close-up of Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev on the cover of Rolling
Stone to hit shelves Friday looks
more like a young Bob Dylan or
Jim Morrison than the 19-year-
old who pleaded not guilty a
little more than a week ago in the
Boston Marathon bombing, his
arm in a cast and his face swollen
in court.
Has the magazine, with its
roundly condemned cover, offered
the world its rst rock star of an
alleged Islamic terrorist?
The same image of Tsarnaev
was widely circulated and used by
newspapers and magazines before,
but in this context it took on new
criticism and accusations that
Rolling Stone turned the bombing
defendant into something more
appealing.
I cant think of another
instance in which one has glamor-
ized the image of an alleged ter-
rorist. This is the image of a rock
star. This is the image of someone
who is admired, of someone who
has a fan base, of someone we are
critiquing as art, said Kathleen
Hall Jamieson, a communications
professor and the director of the
Annenberg Public Policy Center at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Public outrage was swift, includ-
ing hard words from the Boston
mayor, bombing survivors and
the governor of Massachusetts. At
least ve retailers with strong New
England ties CVS, Tedeschi
Food Stores and the grocery chain
the Roche Bros. said they would
not sell the issue that features an
in-depth look into how a charm-
ing, well-liked teen took a dark
turn toward radical Islam. Stop &
Shop and Walgreens followed suit.
Tsarnaev is not referred to as
Tsarnaev in the article.
The magazine uses his play-
ful diminutive instead in a head-
line: Jahars World. With cover
teasers for other stories on
Willie Nelson, Jay-Z and Robin
Thicke, it declares for the
Tsarnaev story: The Bomber.
How a Popular, Promising Student
was Failed by His Family, Fell
Into Radical Islam and Became a
Monster.
Rolling Stone did not address
whether the photo was edited
or ltered in any way in a brief
statement offering condolences to
bombing survivors and the loved
ones of the dead.
The fact that Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev is young, and in the same
age group as many of our readers,
makes it all the more important
for us to examine the complexi-
ties of this issue and gain a more
complete understanding of how
a tragedy like this happens, the
statement said.
Thats little consolation for
James Bim Costello, 30, of
Malden, Mass., who needed pig
skin grafts on most of his right
arm and right leg after the bomb-
ing. His body was pebbled with
shrapnel, including nails he pulled
out of his stomach himself. Three
of his close friends lost legs that
day and others suffered serious
burns and shrapnel injuries.
I think whoever wrote the arti-
cle should have their legs blown
off by someone, struggle through
treatment and then see who they
would choose to put on the cover.
The accompanying story, he
said, just seems like a cry for
attention from Rolling Stone.
Lauren Gabler had nished her
fourth Boston Marathon and was
two blocks from the nish line
explosions that April day. At rst
she thought the Rolling Stone
photo, released on the magazines
website and Facebook page, was of
a model or a rock star.
All of a sudden you realize thats
the Boston bomber, said Gabler,
who lives in the Washington, D.C.,
area. The cover almost tricks
you into what youre looking at. I
havent read the article yet, and I
know it will probably be quite in-
depth, but my initial reaction is
that the photo thats being used
almost makes him look like a good
guy.
Rolling Stone said the cover
story was part of its long-stand-
ing commitment to serious and
thoughtful coverage of the most
important political and cultural
issues of our day. And the maga-
zine has had plenty of covers fea-
turing people outside the realm
of entertainment, from President
Obama to Charles Manson.
Putting criminals and alleged
criminals on the covers of major
magazines is justied if they are
major news gures, said Samir
Husni, a journalism professor who
heads the Magazine Innovation
Center at the University of
Mississippi. Its digitally manipu-
lating a photo that never is, said
Husni, reached by phone on vaca-
tion in his native Lebanon.
Theyll probably regret it later,
he said of Rolling Stones handling
of its cover. Even if it wasnt doc-
tored its going to bring those neg-
ative reactions.

$33,000 spent on Zimmerman jurors
MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla.
About $33,000 was spent
to sequester the six
female jurors who acquit-
ted George Zimmerman
of any crime for fatally
shooting Trayvon Martin,
according to details
released Wednesday by
the Seminole County
Sheriffs Ofce.
The sheriffs ofce
spent almost 10 times that
amount $320,000 on
total costs related to the
trial, including overtime
and equipment.
During their three
weeks of sequestration,
jurors took an excursion
to St. Augustine, Fla.;
watched the movies The
Lone Ranger and World
War Z; went on bowl-
ing excursions; and saw
Fourth of July reworks.
All television, Internet
use, mail and phone calls
were screened and logged
by deputies who provided
security for them at all
times.
Jurors were allowed to
use their cell phones once
a day to check for voice-
mails and make calls in
front of a deputy, accord-
ing to the sheriffs ofce.
Jurors ate most of their
breakfast and dinner
meals at the Marriott hotel
where they stayed during
sequestration. They dined
out twice.
They received visits on
weekends from family and
friends, who had to sign
an agreement promising
not to discuss anything
related to the case.
Despite spending 22
days together, four of
the jurors have distanced
themselves from state-
ments another juror made
in a televised interview.
The four jurors issued
a brief statement Tuesday
on court letterhead saying
the opinions expressed
by Juror B37 to CNNs
Anderson Cooper are not
representative of their
views.
The opinions of Juror
B37, expressed on the
Anderson Cooper show
were her own, and not in
any way representative of
the jurors listed below,
said the statement, signed
by Jurors B51, B76, E6
and E40.
The six-sentence state-
ment did not specify what
parts of the other jurors
comments they disagreed
with.
Juror B37 said the
actions of Zimmerman
and 17-year-old Trayvon
Martin both led to the
teenagers fatal shoot-
ing last year, but that
Zimmerman didnt actu-
ally break the law.
The four other jurors
said in their statement that
Martins death weighed on
them.
Serving on this jury
has been a highly emotion-
al and physically draining
experience for each of
us, the statement said.
The death of a teenager
weighed heavily on our
hearts but in the end we
did what the law required
us to do.
They also made a
request for privacy.

GULLANE, ScotLAND the practice
round schedule posted each day at Muireld
is not the only way to determine how players
are getting ready for the British open.
Johnson Wagners name was on the tee
sheet at St. Andrews over the weekend.
Geoff ogilvy could be found on the other
side of the country, on links courses like
turnberry, Royal troon and Western Gailes.
Justin Rose was at North Berwick. So were
Bubba Watson and Luke Donald, who got
in plenty of golf along the Firth of Forth the
week before the British open.
Its not unusual for players to take off from
their regular tours a week before a major to
prepare. Whats different about the British
open isnt everything? is that prepara-
tions arent limited to the course they will be
playing.
You can prepare for the U.S. open on the
range, ogilvy said Wednesday. But you can
only prepare for the open on the course. And
it doesnt necessarily have to be the course
youre playing. the seaside courses here,
theyre the only courses with turf like this,
with sand like this. theres something differ-
ent about the seaside wind in Scotland. You
can y to Shanghai or Abu Dhabi and work
on what you need at home. But you cant work
on what you need at home until you get here.
tiger Woods, a three-time open champion,
arrived Sunday morning and has played nine
holes a day. there was a time he would leave
home a week early and head to Ireland with
Mark oMeara and David Duval, both former
open champions, and play the links courses
there.
Woods loves to recall his rst experience
with links golf in 1995 as the U.S. Amateur
champion. He played the Scottish open at
carnoustie, and then drove down the North
Sea shoreline to St. Andrews for the British
open.
I absolutely fell in love with it, to be able
to dink a 5-iron from 150 yards and bump
it on the ground, or vice versa have 260
out and hit a 4-iron and it bounces over the

Stephanie Jallen, a nationally-
ranked ski champion, will make the
trip to the 2014 Paralympic Games
in Sochi, Russia.
And a new adventure held at the
Northeast Fairgrounds will help
her with some of the proceeds ben-
etting the Harding native.
Dallas resident Nicole Farber has
created R3 ops Mud Run for those
who would like a bit more excite-
ment than simply running or walk-
ing a 5-kilometer course.
Billed as the Mud Run With
options, the event, scheduled
for Saturday at the Northeast
Fairgrounds in Pittston township,
is the rst for Farber and her new-
ly-formed promotional company,
ENX2, LLc.
this course features 10 signi-
cant obstacles, not to mention a
3-mile course. theres everything
from a hay maze to a 70-foot rope
repel. Billed as the Mud Run with
options, there are three different
levels for participants: Rened,
Rugged and Rogue.
But Farber and the volunteer
workers at the fairgrounds wouldnt
give away all the secrets. Lets just
say theres a surprise awaiting the
runners: a 65-foot mud slide.
And for every spectator in atten-
dance, a $5 donation will be asked
to support Jallens effort to get to
Russia and ski for a Gold medal.
Basically, its a three-mile obsta-
cle course, Farber said. You can
walk it, run it or race it at top speed
for prizes.
And, if necessary, Farber said,
you can even get or give a little help
from or to your friends.
Its an escape fromreality a little
bit, Farber said. You are not going
to be judged. there are going to be
people there helping and encourag-
ing each other.
the course will have variety.
there will be 14 or 15 obsta-
cles, Farber said, such as a hay
bale maze, running through tires,
climbing walls, angle walls, mud
pits to crawl through, creeks to run
through, two different waterfalls at
the start and nish.
Farber said that more than two
weeks before the event she already
had nearly 1,000 registrants, rang-
ing from workout enthusiasts to
groups of friends and co-workers.
the most competitive will be test-
ed in an extreme challenge area
with military-style obstacles.
theres afeelingyouget whenyou
do a mud run or an obstacle course,
Farber said. Its very empowering,
depending on howyou do it. You can
get teams together and it helps with
the team-building aspect.
Sometimes youll meet an
obstacle that youll need help or
people to encourage you to get
through. thats kind of like some
aspects of life with different obsta-
cles to get through.
Farber said when entrants meet
an obstacle that is too difcult,
they can simply go around if they
choose.
the 8 a.m. Extreme challenge
will feature $1,000 for the rst-
place male and female competitors
and $500 for second place.

loss from the day before and get-
ting down again after two batters
into Wednesdays Wyoming Valley
American Legion championship
game, it wouldve been real easy
for Greater Pittston to fold.
that did not happen though.
the team erased the decit in
the bottom of the second then
put the game away in the bottom
of the third sending 12 batters to
the plate and scoring seven runs en
route to a 8-3 win over Nanticoke
at Mountain Posts Veterans Field.
We just wanted to keep it close,
work the count and eventually we
would have the big inning and we
did, Greater Pittston coach Jerry
Ranieli said.
With the win, Greater Pittston
is the second seed from the
Wyoming Valley for this week-

Zack Kollar tripled to lead off the
game then scored when the next

Joe Gavenonis, who was on the
mound for Greater Pittston, settled
down setting down the next seven
batters and gave up just one single
leaving the ineld the next four
innings.
the rst inning I was iffy about
how we were going to do because
giving up a hit and run like that
in the rst inning got me a little
rattled,said Gavenonis, who twirled
a complete-game, seven-hitter, didnt
allow any walks and kept Nanticoke
hitters off balance with his slider and
fastball to earn the win.
once Greater Pittston went crazy
in the third lacing seven hits and
scoring the seven-spot for a seven-
run cushion, Gavenonis was on
cruise control only giving up an
ineld single in the next two innings.
After we got the eight runs I
wasnt worried about anything.
I just went out there and threw
whatever I wanted. It was a good
game, the soon-to-be Wyoming
Area junior Gavenonis said.
In GPs big inning, the biggest
hit was a two-run bloop single by
Eric Walkowiak (2 for 4). In fact,

Banos shows leadership on, of the court
TOM FOX
WRIGHT TWP. Consider Nick
Banos a student of the game.
He understood the situation com-
ing into the 2013 season.
We were going to be an extremely
young team, the Crestwood senior
middle hitter said.
His love of the sport is unmatch-
able, and his willingness to improve
in every facet was clearly evident to
those around him.
Banos started training in the off-
season, and carried that into the
most important role: Leadership.
The reality was simple. He needed
to be the cog that drove Crestwood
boys volleyball in every aspect on
and off the court.
Leadership, its so important,
said Banos, who was selected as Most
Valuable Player of the Times Leader
Boys Volleyball All-Star team. We
had some quiet kids on the team, and
thats OK. Everyone is different. I
knew that I would have to be a vocal
leader, and keep everyones spirits up
as much as possible. You knew that
games with Redeemer and North
Pocono were going to be tough. They
are both really good teams.
Banos did his part on the court.
He was second in the Wyoming
Valley Conference in kills (157)
behind Dallas Bryce Mattson. He led
the league in aces with 39 and was
fth in digs with 116.
More importantly, he kept the
Comets around the .500 mark in the
WVC.
We were young. We had a lot of
kids with little or no varsity experi-
ence, Banos said. I think I was the
only one with varsity experience. For
being a young squad, I think we did
pretty well as a team. As a player,
I was pleased. I had a good under-
standing of my role heading into this
season. I talked with coach (Mike
Williams) a lot, and we talked about
what I would need to do.
Thats why he turned to his friends
and siblings.
One, in particular, was sister
Chrissy a now-junior volleyball
player at DeSales University.
She showed me some of their off-
season workouts, and some of the
drills that they use, he said. Its
nice to get some pointers on what
I can improve, and what I need to
work on. Its great to have someone
that you can ask those types of ques-
tions to.
The biggest surprise came at the
end of the season when he was named
the conferences Most Valuable Player.
It was amazing. I never expected
it because there are so many great
players in this league, he said. I
was so surprised. I told coach to let
me know when he heard something.
And he told me I was selected. I went
on the web myself, and I was shocked
when I saw it. Its an amazing honor.
With Crestwood days now behind
him, all eyes turn to the future.
Hell attend Penn State University
where he plays to try out for the club
team.
And who knows, maybe even the
Division I team.
It would be great to get that
opportunity, but well see, Banos
said. Its going to be a big change
because there are so many great
players out there. Its going to be a
challenge, theres no doubt, but Im
ready for it. Im up for the challenge,
and Ill work hard and do my best to
achieve my goals.
2013 TIMES LEADER WVC VOLLEYBALL ALL-STARS
All stats are for the regular season, unless noted
Jeremy Myslowski
Holy Redeemer
Senior
Myslowski did it all for the Royals, and
those multi-skilled talents were clearly
evident. In addition to leadership
skills, the senior led the teamwith 241
assists, was a strong hitter with 85
kills and was second on the teamin
digs with 42.
Bryce Mattson
Dallas
Junior
All eyes in 2014 will turn to Mattson as
one of the top players in the district.
He led the WVC in kills with 161 as the
Mountaineers returned to the playofs
for the frst time in almost a decade.
The outside hitter also added 62 digs,
46 blocks and 33 service points.
Brendan Leahigh
Holy Redeemer

Astrong middle hitter, Leahighs swing
was one of the best in the Wyoming
Valley Conference. He tallied 139 kills,
ffth in the conference. He also had 59
service points and 19 blocks.
Danny Sales
Coughlin
Junior
Sales was one of the main reason why
the Crusaders fnished fourth in the
district and earned a berth to the
play-in game in the state 2Abracket.
He fnished with 330 assists, ranking
just behind North Poconos Justin
Butler, and second in the WVC in both
service points (137) and aces (35).
Mike Morrison
Holy Redeemer
Senior
There was no bigger threat in the
middle than Morrison. A6-foot-7
middle hitter, he led the Wyoming
Valley Conference in blocks with 63,
and added 97 kills.
John Pietrzyk
Nanticoke
Senior
Pietrzyk was one of the most athletic
kids in the conference, and his
statistics back it up. He was third in
the WVC in kills with 146, second in
blocks (60), and third in both service
points (129) and aces (27). He led the
Trojans to an 8-4 record and berth in

Finals
Eric Seidle | For The Times Leader
Back Mountain Americans Michael Anderson gives up ball after a big first inning by North
Pocono batters in Wednesday nights Section 5 Little League Major Baseball final.
That, to me, is pretty neat. Because we
play everywhere around the world an
airborne game where you have to hit the
ball straight up in the air and make it
stop. Here its different. A draw will go
one distance, a fade will go another, and
theyre so dramatic. And I just absolutely
love it.
True, adjusting to links golf can just as
easily take place at Muireld, where the
British Open starts Thursday. Defending
champion Ernie Els came down from
Castle Stuart and has stayed at Muireld,
wrapping up his nal practice round
Wednesday just after 6 p.m.
But there are no tricks at Muireld.
There are hardly any blind shots. Most
of the bunkers are in plain view from
the tee. Thats one of the reasons that
Muireld is a favorite of so many play-
ers, who use words like fair and hon-
est test, which arent always heard on
other links courses.
I think of all the Open venues, its
probably one of the least quirky ones,
Donald said Wednesday. Its quite
straightforward. Obviously with the
weather conditions, its playing rm and
fast. Its going to be about controlling
your golf ball this week. And the weather
looks good. The course is set up just the
way the R&A would like it. Its bouncy.
Its a little bit of a breeze out there. Firm
conditions are a good protector of the
golf course, and we certainly have that
this week.
The forecast is dry for the week, with
perhaps some mist on the weekend. Even
though ofcials had the course just the
way they wanted it early in the week,
they have turned on a few sprinklers in
the evening to keep it from getting over-
cooked.
I think its no exaggeration to say
that in my time at the R&A with direct
involvement in The Open Championship,
which goes back to 2000, factors have
combined this year to make this the best
course set up weve ever had in that peri-
od, R&A chief executive Peter Dawson
said. The course is just as we want it.
Its hard. Its fast. Its in wonderful condi-
tion. The rough is just right. I think the
players are enjoying it.
It all starts to unfold Thursday morn-
ing when Peter Senior of Australia hits
the opening tee shot.
Among the early starters are Els, Rose
and Brandt Snedeker in one group, with
Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Hideki
Matsuyama a few groups behind. The
afternoon groups include Woods, Graeme
McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen, along
with Masters champion Adam Scott,
Donald and Matt Kuchar.
Tom Watson won at Muireld in 1980
by four shots over Lee Trevino, which
was a rarity in one respect. That was
the only Open in the last six times at
Muireld that golfs oldest championship
was decided by more than one shot. Els
won in a record four-man playoff the last
time in 2002.
Muireld is seen as a thorough exami-
nation that requires solid contact in any
weather, which might explain why only
the best players seem to win here Els,
Nick Faldo twice, Jack Nicklaus, Gary
Player, Walter Hagen, Trevino.
Snedeker tied the 36-hole record at the
British Open last year at 130 the same
score Faldo had at Muireld in 1992
and eventually tied for third. That was
at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and he
sounds like he loves Muireld even more.
There are dened areas where you
need to hit it. How you get the ball in
that dened area is up to you, Snedeker
said. Its a great mix of holes. I chart
what I hit in the practice round, and Ive
hit every club in the bag every day. Youre
hitting driver on some holes. Youre hit-
ting 5-iron off the tee on some holes. Its
just a really cool mix. And depending on
the wind, they can all play completely
differently.
I think its a great test, he said.
Theres no letup out there whatsoever.
What happens from here is difcult to
project. Woods is trying to end a zero-
for-16 drought in the majors. Rose is try-
ing to become only the seventh player
to win the U.S. Open and British Open
in the same year. Els believes he has a
chance to win again, which would put
him in rare company Old Tom Morris
in 1872 is the only other player in his 40s
to successfully defend his title in a major.
Theres so much to look forward to
the way everything has shaped up for
this Open Championship, Scott said.
Very exciting week ahead.

bronze medal-winning teams at the
international level.
He received the silver trophy
from Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul
George, San Diego Chargers quar-
terback Phillip Rivers and Olympic
medal-winning sprinter Bryshon
Nellum.
Its just a blessing, Wiggins
said after the presentation in
Hollywood. I kind of dont realize
at rst its such a big deal. I think it
will hit me more afterward.
Wiggins joined such storied past
winners as LeBron James, Dwight
Howard and Kevin Love. Wiggins
said his goal has been to play in the
NBA ever since I was on earth.
His father played profession-
ally overseas, and Wiggins recalled
watching him play when he was a
small boy.
At Kansas, Wiggins wants to
help deliver the Jayhawks a nation-
al championship.
I think I can give the fans what
we want, he said.
Andrews became just the second
soccer player to win the national
award in its 11-year history. The
forward from Milford (N.H.) High
scored 31 goals and had 18 assists
while leading her team to a 16-3-
1 record and the Division II state
title. Andrews was captain of the
national Under-17 womens team
last year. Shes also an All-State
placekicker for her schools football
team.
Let me know your longest eld
goal and Ill put in a call for you,
Rivers jokingly told Andrews.
She received her award from U.S.
national soccer team star Abby
Wambach and three-time Olympic
champion beach volleyball player
Misty May-Treanor, who retired
after the London Olympics.
Its been an incredible experi-
ence, said Andrews, who thanked
her small hometown for its sup-
port. This award means the world
to me.
Andrews said her goal is to
make the U.S. roster for the 2015
Womens World Cup and the 2016
Olympics.
My goal is to always do the best
I can possibly do and to promote
the game, she said, and hopefully
win a couple of national champion-
ships.
Wiggins beat out nominees
Trayvon Bromell, a sprinter from
Gibbs High in St. Petersburg,
Fla.; USC-bound quarterback
Max Browne of Skyline High in
Sammamish, Wash.; cross country
runner Edward Cheserek of St.
Benedicts Prep in Newark, N.J.;
and center elder Clint Frazier
of Loganville (Ga.) High, who
was recently drafted No. 1 by the

Manziel says he doesnt
mind the notoriety.

HOOVER, Ala.
Johnny Manziel strode
into Southeastern
Conference Media Days
and was swarmed by
hundreds of reporters
and dozens of television
cameras. He shook some
hands and the cameras
ashed as he settled into
his seat, the star of the
SECs latest must-see TV
show.
If the Texas A&M quar-
terback was troubled by
all the attention, he didnt
show it. Dressed in a dark
blue suit, checkered shirt
and striped tie, Manziel
answered every question
thrown his way during the
30-minute Q&A, some
were even about foot-
ball. He said he largely
enjoys the spotlight that
comes with winning the
Heisman Trophy even
if it sometimes includes
unsavory headlines.
This is just another
day, Johnny Football
said with a grin.
The 20-year-old sopho-
more and face of college
football spent most of
his three-hour stay at the
Wynfrey Hotel, bounc-
ing from one interview
session to another. He
mostly talked about an
eventful offseason that
has frequently made
him a trending topic.
I dont feel like Ive
done anything thats cata-
strophic, Manziel said.
Of course, Ive made
my mistakes. Its time
to grow up. The most
recent misstep came last
weekend at the Manning
Passing Academy.
Manziel was one of many
college quarterback coun-
selors at the camp for
high school prospects run
by Archie, Peyton and Eli
Manning in Louisiana,
but he left before it was
over.
He says he missed
activities because he
overslept, and his
absence had noth-
ing to do with being
out the night before.

NEW YORK The
NCAA said Wednesday
it wont allow Electronic
Arts Inc. to use its logo and
name in video games while
it ghts a lawsuit that says
the governing body owes
billions of dollars to for-
mer players for allowing
their likenesses to be used
for free. The NCAA said
it wont enter into a new
contract with EA Sports
beyond the current one that
expires June 2014. That
means NCAAFootball 2014
will be the last edition of
the popular game. However,
it wont necessarily stop
EA Sports from produc-
ing a college football video
game depicting powerhouse
schools such as Alabama,
Ohio State and Oregon.
Member colleges and
universities license their
own trademarks and other
intellectual property for the
video game, the NCAA
said in a statement. They
will have to independently
decide whether to continue
those business arrange-
ments in the future. The
NCAA is in the midst of a
long legal battle that started
with a lawsuit led by for-
mer UCLA basketball star
Ed OBannon.
The suit has expanded to
include several former ath-
letes who claim the NCAA
and EA Sports have used
their names and likenesses
without compensation and
demand the NCAA nd a
way to give players a cut
of the billions of dollars
earned fromlive broadcasts,
memorabilia sales and video
games.
We are condent in our
legal position regarding the
use of our trademarks in
video games, the NCAA
said. But given the current
business climate and costs
of litigation, we determined
participating in this game
is not in the best interests
of the NCAA. The NCAA
has never licensed the use
of current student-athlete
names, images or likenesses
to EA. The NCAA has no
involvement in licenses
between EA and former
student-athletes.

Keith Olbermann dreaded that hed
be remembered as the guy who rose
to stardom at ESPN then left less than
amicably.
I dont want that to be in the obitu-
ary, atly, he said on a conference call
Wednesday.
So now hes returning to
the company as a late-night
host, insisting that, this time,
a gig wont end badly.
Olbermann expressed
gratitude for this chance to
put a different ending on the
story of my relationship with
ESPN.
We are indelibly intertwined, he
said. I know that we cant go back
and undo everything that happened
20 years ago in those environs. But
I would like to do my best to correct
as much of it as I can. I appreciate the
fresh start. Well see how much suc-
cess I can get in that way, and how
much success I can get in the way of
the show.
But Im going to do my damnedest
for both.
Olbermann, whichpremieres Aug.
26, will generally air at 11 p.m. ET
Monday-Friday on ESPN2, depending
on live event coverage on the channel.
Executives hope the show can exploit
the ratings boost fromthe frequent live
event lead-ins.
Olbermanns new ESPN offering
will often air opposite his old one,
SportsCenter on the main ESPN
network. The company has found over
the years that broadcasting concurrent
programming on its various channels
expands its overall audience.
And starting next month, ESPNwill
face competition in the 11 p.m. slot
from new cable channel Fox Sports 1s
nightly highlights and analysis show.
Were happy to compete, ESPN
President John Skipper said. Clearly
the timing of some of what
were doing is intended to put
us in a competitive position.
Olbermann, based in New
York City, will weave together
commentary, interviews, high-
lights, panel discussions. The
host hinted that some segments
may be evocative of those
from previous gigs. But no poli-
tics. If I wanted to go and do politics,
Id still be doing politics, he said.
This clearly is something else.
Olbermann said he had no content
clause in his contract, but that didnt
matter hes signed on to do a sports
show. Skipper said politics or pop
culture would slip on when that
intersected with sports.
Olbermanns last two politically ori-
ented jobs didnt end well either. After
eight years as a prime-time host at
MSNBC, he quit abruptly in January
2011. He later joined Current TV but
lasted a year before he was taken off
the air; he would go on to le a law-
suit, which was settled out of court.
The 54-year-old Olbermann made
his name with his catchphrases and
sardonic tone as a SportsCenter
anchor from 1992-97. But his stint
ended amid harsh words and clashes
with management over his right to
do outside work. He was suspended
briey for not seeking permission to
record public service announcements.
I could apologize a thousand times.
We could get everybody that ever took
offense at anything I did and bring
them all into one place wed prob-
ably need Yankee Stadium. I could get
out on the eld and point to every-
body: Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry,
Olbermann said.
But practically speaking, he
added, particularly for those people
who arent sure, all thats going to
make a difference is how I conduct
myself.
Olbermann said he started think-
ing about a way to reunite with ESPN
even before he left, noting that he later
worked for ESPN Radio.
Hesaidhehadanimpromptuheart-
to-heart at Tuesdays baseball All-Star
game with longtime ESPN anchor
Chris Berman, who gave him his
sports broadcasting start four decades
ago as his assistant at their high school
radio station in Tarrytown, N.Y.
Olbermann told his former-and-
future colleague he put out feelers to
the network more than a year earlier
partly because he wanted his associa-
tion with ESPN to be remembered for
innovative television, not acrimonious
splits. It meant something to people,
he said of his SportsCenter glory
days, and it meant something to us.
Skipper, who joined ESPN the
same year Olbermann left, said he
spoke to many employees who had
worked with the former anchor.
He had to make a calculation of
how much Olbermanns singular
talent would help the network.

Andretti Autosport announced
Wednesday it has signed on as the third
team to compete in the environmentally
friendly FIA Formula E championship,
which will feature electric cars racing in 10
cities around the world beginning in 2014.
Michael Andrettis two-car operation
will join China Racing and British-based
Drayson Racing as organizations already
committed to a eld that will have 10 two-
car teams competing in each e-Prix.
Were inthe business of racing andweve
been looking for opportunities to diversify,
and when we were contacted about this we
felt it was something we needed to look
into, Andretti told The Associated Press.
The more we looked into it, the more
interested we got. We like the relevancy of
the series because one of the problems auto
racing is starting to face and is going to
face more of in the future is relevancy.
I think relevancy is going to be
addressed with the electric cars. Its a good
way to hook our younger audience into rac-
ing, and Im excited to be involved and be
involved at the ground oor.
Andretti plans to run one car for the
championship, while his second entry could
be a star car that uses well-known drivers
such as IndyCar reigning champion Ryan
Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti or James
Hinchcliffe based on their availability.
The races will be held September 2014
to June 2015 for a winter season on street
courses that run through the heart of major
cities around the world. Alejandro Agag,
CEO of series promoter FEH, said there
will be stops in Miami and Los Angeles
on the 10-race schedule, making it impor-
tant to have Andretti involved in the series
debut.
Andretti is a great name in motorsport,
and when we launched the championship,
we said we wanted to have a geographi-
cally diversied grid and for us, the U.S
and China are our two key markets in the
world, Agag told the AP. In the U.S., we
really need a strong team to lead the way
and we think there is no better name than
that for America than Andretti. And glob-
ally because its very American, but at the
same time its a world-known name.
Everybody knows Andretti every-
where, so for us it was really a pri-
ority to speak with Andretti and
invite them into the championship.

CHORGES, FRanCE
Even when he expects
to lose, Tour de France
champion-in-the-making
Chris Froome cannot help
but win. Hes that strong
and hes making it look
easy.
On a day when the
British rider was plan-
ning to save some energy
for upcoming mountains,
Froome still brushed aside
the eld and took his third
stage win of this 100th
Tour. alberto Contador,
Froomes Spanish rival
still trying to make a ght
of this one-sided battle,
gave his all in Wednesdays
alpine time trial. His face
contorted in a grimace of
effort as he sprinted out
of the saddle to the line,
while spectators whipped
up a thunderclap of noise
by banging their sts on
the barriers.
Froome, having set off
behind Contador, sped in
a few moments later. He,
too, rode hard but looked
more comfortable with his
easy-on-the-eye pedaling
style, perched on his sad-
dle, legs pumping under-
neath him like pistons in
an ocean liners engine
room.
Contador shook his
head and shrugged his
shoulders when television
ashed that Froome beat
his time by 9 seconds.
This was another oppor-
tunity lost for Contador to
make victory for Froome
in Paris on Sunday at least
feel less inevitable.
Froome is in impres-
sive shape, was the
understated assessment of
the 2007 and 09 winner
who was stripped of his
2010 victory for a failed
doping test.
The last Tour cham-
pion now ex-champion
to carry as many stage
wins as Froome to Paris
was Lance armstrong.
That was in 2004, when
armstrong won ve stag-
es and declared hed be
giving no gifts to his
rivals. That is all just a bad
memory now. This Tour
is the rst since the serial
dopers name was erased
last year from the races
honor roll.
Froome swears that
wont happen with him.
He has repeatedly said
when asked at this Tour
that he is riding clean
an assurance that only
has limited value in the
poisonous atmosphere of
doubt that is a legacy of
the armstrong years and
the americans confes-
sion to Oprah Winfrey this
January that he cheated
for all seven of his Tour
wins, from 1999-2007.

CHRISTINA REXRODE
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK Bank of America
says its second-quarter prots soared,
helped by higher earnings frominvest-
ment banking and cost-cutting.
The results beat analysts expecta-
tions. The bank earned $3.6 billion
in the quarter after payments to pre-
ferred shareholders. That was up 70
percent from $2.1 billion a year ago.
Per share, that worked out to 32
cents. Analysts polled by FactSet had
expected 25 cents per share.
Bank of America, the countrys sec-
ond-biggest bank by assets, has been
slimming down and cutting jobs since
CEO Brian Moynihan took over at the
beginning of 2010.
The strategy is meant to make the
bank easier to manage and to escape
potential extra scrutiny from regula-
tors.
In the second quarter, the bank
slashed expenses about 6 percent,
to $16 billion from $17 billion a year
ago. It also cut about 18,300 jobs over
the year, or nearly 7 percent of its
work force. The bank now has about
257,000 employees, down about
11 percent from its peak of nearly
289,000 in early 2011.
In a call with reporters, Chief
Financial Ofcer Bruce Thompson
noted some of the job cuts were in the
unit that services troubled mortgages,
which is shrinking as the bank works
through those loans. He also said the
bank had added jobs in the unit that
makes new mortgages.
The bank has also been closing
branches. The number of branches
fell to about 5,300, down by about
260 over the year. Thompson said the
bank would continue to trim branch-
es, and indicated the bank would sell
branches in more rural areas in
locations outside of our principal
operating areas and where the bank
didnt have a critical mass of con-
sumers.
The bank funded nearly $27 billion
in home mortgages and home equity
loans, a jump from 41 percent a year
ago, though the loss in its overall
mortgage business widened as the
bank wound down its troubled mort-
gages.
Thompson said it was difcult to
predict the effect that higher interest
rates might have on its mortgage busi-
ness.
Though theyre still near historic
lows, mortgage rates have been inch-
ing higher since the Federal Reserve
indicated it might pull out of some
of its programs meant to support the
economy.
Total revenue was $22.9 billion
after stripping out one-time charges,
up 3 percent froma year ago. That was
better than the $22.8 billion expected
by analysts polled by FactSet.

WASHINGTON U.S.
Treasury Secretary Jacob
Lew says delays in writing
rules to put the 2010 nan-
cial overhaul law into effect
have raised the prospect
that big banks could still
threaten the nancial sys-
tems stability.
Lew said that means poli-
cymakers might have to con-
sider new approaches.
If rules putting the law
in place arent sufcient by
years end to reduce the risk
of big banks failing, Lew
said Were going to have
to look at other options.
Lew didnt specify what the
options might be.
He said the Obama admin-
istration, like a group of sen-
ators who recently proposed
legislation that would break
up banks, wants to ensure
that risky banks cant bring
down the system. He didnt
specically endorse the leg-
islation.
The legislation proposed
by a bipartisan group of sen-
ators would force banks to
split off their conventional
lending and deposit-taking
into separate companies
from investment banking
and other riskier activities.
Hundreds of U.S. banks
received taxpayer bailouts
during the nancial crisis
that struck in 2008 and trig-
gered the worst economic
downturn since the Great
Depression of the 1930s.
The list included the coun-
trys largest banks.
Next week marks the third
anniversary of the overhaul
law, enacted in response to
the crisis, which is intended
to prevent another melt-
down and a federal bailout
of banks.
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke, testifying
on Fed interest-rate poli-
cy to a House committee
Wednesday, was asked about
the regulation issue. I think
theres more work to be
done before we feel comfort-
able that the risk has been
ended of big nancial rms
collapsing and endangering
the system, he said.
Thanks to the overhaul
rules that have been put in
place, that possibility is less
likely, but the threat is not
gone, Bernanke said.
Lew said that speeding
up writing rules for the
overhaul law has been a
high priority for him since
becoming Treasury secre-
tary in February. He heads
the Financial Stability
Oversight Council, a group
of top regulators charged
with monitoring risks to the
nancial system.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. KFC is tossing out the
bones and the quaint image of founder Col.
Harland Sanders as it gets ready to test a slightly
more upmarket restaurant.
The fried chicken chain says its opening a loca-
tion called KFC eleven early next month near
its headquarters in Louisville that will serve at-
breads with toppings, rice bowls, salads and only
boneless pieces of its Original Recipe chicken.
The restaurants exterior wont feature Sanders,
whose bespectacled, white-bearded likeness has
long been front and center at traditional KFC
locations. But the name of the test restaurant is a
reference to the 11 herbs and spices Sanders used
in the Original Recipe.
KFC elevens opening is a reection of the chal-
lenges facing traditional fast-food chains such
as McDonalds, Burger King and Wendys. The
problem is that people in their 20s and 30s are
increasingly heading to chains such as Panera
Bread, where they feel they get better food for
slightly higher prices.
In a note to investors about KFCs test, Janney
analyst Mark Kalinowski said such fast-casual
chains remain the fastest-growing segment in
the restaurant industry. He noted other chains,
included Applebees and Red Lobster, have
recently started testing similar formats as well.
John Cywinski, president of KFC, said in an
interview that people often equate KFC with
buckets of fried chicken on the bone, primar-
ily as a dinner or weekend option. He said the
company hoped to use the new test location to
learn how it can update its offerings and draw
in a broader customer base, particularly women.
KFC eleven will serve side dishes such as
wafe fries, garlic mashed potatoes and coleslaw
along with Original Recipe chicken.
At the time, the chain said the rollout was
intended to address people in their 20s and 30s
who grew up on chicken nuggets and tenders,
and generally tend to prefer chicken without
bones even as adults.
The rst KFC eleven that opens Aug. 5 will be
a stand-alone restaurant, with a second location
opening in a strip mall in coming months.
No bones about it: KFC demotes Colonel
Grocer holding
job fair today
ALDI will host a hiring event for
cashiers for its three Northeastern
Pennsylvania stores today. The grocer
has stores in Kingston, Pittston and
Scranton, and the fair will be held 3-7
p.m. at its Kingston store, 481 Pierce St.
The cashier positions, both full- and
part-time, pay $10 an hour. You must be
18 or older to apply.
Up to 15 positions need to be lled,
and interested applicants will be asked
to ll out an application at the fair, said
spokeswoman Monica Gostkiewicz.
Applicants must have a high school
diploma or GED, be able to work exible
hours and lift up to 45 pounds.
Barbie maker
sees weak sales
Mattel said Wednesday its second-
quarter net income fell 24 percent, hurt
by weak sales in North America and con-
tinued softness in Barbie sales.
Toy industry sales have been in slight
decline all year, hurt by cautious con-
sumer spending, a video game industry
slump and increased demand for elec-
tronic gadgets such as smartphones and
tablets. And while Mattel, the largest
U.S. toymaker and maker of Monster
High dolls and Hot Wheels toys, usually
outperforms its rivals, the latest results
show it is not immune to declines.
North American sales fell 2 percent,
while international sales rose 4 percent.
Sales of Mattels Barbie franchise
declined for the fourth consecutive
quarter, falling 12 percent. Sales of the
companys other girls brands climbed
23 percent, mostly due to the continued
popularity of Monster High products.
One bright spot was Mattels American
Girl line, with sales up 14 percent.
Sales of Fisher-Price branded products
dropped 3 percent, while Hot Wheels
sales dipped 1 percent.
UK bank fned
by US regulators
Barclays has vowed to ght a ne by
U.S. regulators, who allege the bank
manipulated the electricity prices in
California and other western states to
make money off of trades.
American regulators on Tuesday
ordered the U.K.-based bank and four of
its traders to pay $453 million in civil
penalties for manipulating electricity
prices between November 2006 and
December 2008.
The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission also ordered Barclays to
pay $34.9 million, plus interest, for
what it described as unjust prots to
low-income, energy assistance programs
in Arizona, California, Oregon and
Washington.
FERC gave Barclays 30 days to pay the
penalties.

AP Sports Writer
The designated hitter turned 40 this year.
Fittingly, its having sort of a mid-life crisis.
Never before has the imbalance between the
American and National Leagues regarding Rule
6.10 been more of a potential problem.
The designated hitter rule has been contro-
versial from day one. Its been criticized and
even confusing since it was born. So its only
natural that Major League Baseballs once-bold
experiment will continue to exist unevenly and
indenitely.
The DH debate wont die.
A little controversy between the leagues is
really not all bad, Commissioner Bud Selig
said before the All-Star game in New York on
Tuesday.
Selig cast one of the votes for using
the designated hitter in AL games start-
ing in 1973, when he owned the Milwaukee
Brewers, then an AL franchise. He
acknowledged this week that further geograph-
ic changes to divisions could force MLB to
either scrap the DH altogether or install it for
the NL, but thats a future possibility and not
an imminent plan.
When Houston switched to the AL West this
year to even out the leagues at 15 teams each,
daily interleague games became a necessity of
the schedule.
At the moment, Selig said, we are not
going to change it.
Perhaps the most polarizing of this sports
many quirks and imperfections, the designated
hitter came to be when AL teams sought to
boost their then-lagging product. The decision
was made during a time when the two leagues
were far less integrated than now.
The gimmick not only worked to increase
scoring and attendance but created a way for
some of the games greatest hitters to extend
their careers and make a lot more money.
Orlando Cepeda even credited the rule for
boosting his Hall of Fame credentials, after
Boston signed him for the 1973 season follow-
ing a long career with San Francisco.
That was one of the best years, because I
was playing on one leg and I hit .289, Cepeda
said earlier this season. And I hit four doubles
in one game. Both my knees were hurting, and
I was designated hitter of the year.
Designated hitters last year had the second-
highest average salary by position at $8.1
million, behind rst basemen at $8.6 million.
Thats the main reason why eliminating the
DH to bring the AL back on line with the NL
is almost unfathomable. Bostons David Ortiz,
who recently passed Harold Baines on the
career list for hits by a DH, is making $14 mil-
lion this season at age 37.
The designated hitter has also helped teams
keep their best players in the lineup while giv-
ing them some type of rest. Minnesota All-Star
catcher Joe Mauer is a prime example. When
he needs a break from crouching behind the
plate, manager Ron Garden can keep his potent
bat in the lineup at DH.
I get a lot of questions about the DH, how
we use it and all that stuff, but basically the
way I see it is Id rather see David Ortiz hit
than some pitcher, Mauer said, intending no
offense to his own teammates. So well see. It
is what it is right now.
Most of Mauers AL peers predictably
express support for the DHs existence, even if
a lot of them would rather play a position than
sit around between at-bats. The power of the
players union, protective of this lucrative and
prominent job, is another undeniable force for
the DH. And despite the complaints from dads
with sleepy kids at long games, fans usually
enjoy seeing runs cross the plate.
The cumulative AL batting average has beat-
en the NLs mark in each of the rst 40 seasons
of the DH. The last time the NL hit above .270
was 1939. The AL has 11 seasons of .270-plus
batting during the DH era.
There are purists who have a hard
time forgiving MLB for the installing the
DH, though. Remember the movie Bull
Durham, when Kevin Costners character
Crash Davis launches his crude rant about
the qualities and supercialities of life.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional
amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the desig-
nated hitter, he said.
The NL guys, naturally, tout the purity of the
no-DH game and the additional substitution
strategy it provides. Many pitchers simply nd
it fun to try to hit even if it means sometimes
looking silly swinging meekly at strike three.
Yes, DH conicts keep on coming even in
spring training. The home team is supposed to
decide whether or not to use it and sometimes
managers disagree.
Cincinnatis Dusty Baker wanted to use Shin-
Soo Choo in that role for an exhibition game
in March as a precaution for his tight right
quadriceps, but Arizonas Kirk Gibson insist-
ed on keeping the pitcher in the lineup so he
could let starter Brandon McCarthy take some
swings. Baker and Gibson argued before the
game about it at home plate. Gibson prevailed
because the Diamondbacks were the host team.
When the games count, of course, the DH
is used in AL ballparks and pitchers bat in NL
venues. This year, that will force Detroit man-
ager Jim Leyland to leave
designated hitter Victor
Martinez out of the line-
up at Miami on the nal
weekend of the regular
season while the other
teams in the league use
their DH as usual. If the
AL Central or wild-card
races are still unsettled
then, thats the kind of
potentially pennant-alter-
ing wrinkle that could
someday prompt a change.
DH debate at 40: No sign of slowing down

An enduring pain:
Adoption decision creates lingering ripples
ANITA CREAMER
The Sacramento Bee
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Just before Christmas
1962, when she was 20
and unmarried, Freddie
Stewart gave birth to a
baby girl. At the hospital,
she refused to hold her
rstborn; she remembers
thinking that if she saw
her daughter, she couldnt
handle giving her up for
adoption.
I went away from this
experience and tried
not to look back, said
Freddie Stewart Lussier,
now 70. I thought Id
dealt with it. I just put it
out of my head.
She lives today on a
10-acre property in the
El Dorado County, Calif.,
foothills, where she has
goats, chickens and dogs.
Kelly Camber, a daughter
she raised after a brief
marriage in the mid-
1960s, visits often, and
Freddies grown twin
granddaughters and their
children spend time with
her.
But as with many other
mothers of her generation,
the loss of her birth child
was deep and lasting, a
permanent wound. Over
the next ve decades,
Freddie carried a burden
of guilt and grief. She
couldnt even talk about
her rstborn.
Not when her brother,
Wendell Alderson, 60,
tried to raise the subject.
You could see the look
on her face, he said. Her
face would fall. It was hid-
den. It was a deep, dark
secret in our family.
And not when the fam-
ily friend who helped
arrange the birth daugh-
ters private adoption
asked Freddie if she want-
ed to see photos.
Id say no, said
Freddie. It was painful,
but I was able to put it
behind me. Dwelling on
it, what was that going to
do?
And then, through
happenstance and what
Freddie Lussier calls
Gods will, she and her
birth daughter, Lori Fox,
nally met.
During adoptions age
of shame roughly the
three decades beginning
in 1945 the practice
was shrouded in secrecy.
And young women from
middle-class families paid
a steep emotional price
for pregnancy before mar-
riage.
Often, they were sent
to maternity homes where
they gave birth to babies
they immediately relin-
quished.
And no one talked
about the pregnant girls
who vanished, except in
whispers.
The stigma was huge,
said Ellen Herman, a
University of Oregon
history professor who
created The Adoption
History Project, an
online archive of adoption
history.
Its difcult to con-
vey that today to anyone
under 30 or even 40.
We dont remember the
degree of shame associat-
ed with nonmarital child-
bearing.

when she was 20, Lussier gave birth to a baby girl out of wedlock. Lussier, now 70, recently met her daughter, Lori Fox, who lives in Manteca.

Numbers are all around us and we use
them every day. Whats the time differ-
ence between the east and west coasts?
How many miles per gallon does
your car get? What percentage of your
income are you paying to the IRS?
Which of two similar items in a gro-
cery store is the better deal?
How much do we tip a server or taxi
driver? What does a 20 percent dis-
count mean in actual dollars? Whats
your favorite players batting average
and your teams win-loss percentage?
Sadly, too many of us have trouble with
basic calculations, partly because we
decided as kids that math was either
irrelevant (not true) or not fun (often
true). This week we take a look at a line
of games that will help you and the kids
brush up on your math skills and,
perhaps more important, are a great fun
for everyone.
Mathable
Think Scrabble, but with numbers
and mathematical equations instead of
letters. Each player starts with seven
tiles and plays as many as he or she
can, combining them with the tiles
that already are on the board to create
number problems. Like Scrabble, there
are blanks and double- and triple-value
squares. A few interesting things are
going on here. First, youre using all

Want
beach
hair?
You might
have to
work for it
SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK Looking
out the ofce window,
wearing a tight, slick bun
to go with that skirt suit
and heels, do you long for
the other side the one
where your hair could be
tousled, wavy and full from
the salt and humidity that
comes from a day at the
beach?
Seems so tempting
until you think about that
time you caught yourself in
the rearview mirror after
your last beach day. Yes,
the hair was tousled, wavy
and full and also full of
knots and going in every
direction. Wouldnt a slick
bun or a good blowout
solve everything?
When it comes to hair,
the grass often seems
greener on the other side,
but, experts say, both looks
require a little work. And
both can look really good.
First, says Rachel Zoe,
designer, celebrity styl-
ist and co-founder of
DreamDry blow-dry
salons, manage expecta-
tions. Your hair will never
come out exactly the same
twice. Embrace it.
Still, a good-hair day
boosts condence like few
other things, she says. On
the days her hair really
matters, Zoe says she wont
wash it. The natural oils in
the hair will give it a better,
more cooperative texture.
Ric Pipino, co-founder
of Patrick Melville Pepino
Salons, says bouncy beach
hair in the city and slick
city hair at the beach are
both attainable using a at
iron.
To straighten hair: Make
sure the ends of the hair
are healthy or start with a
trim. Blow dry hair using
a at brush instead of a
round one, which will start
the battle against frizz. Use
a creamy smoothing prod-
uct another weapon
against humidity.
Dont tackle too much
hair at one time with the
at iron. Youll end up
spending the same amount
of time using smaller sec-
tions, and youll only have
to go over the same spot
once. See ADOPTION | 6C

HIT MORE FAIRWAYS, SHOOT LOWER SCORES & HAVE
MORE FUN! GUARANTEED... OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
John Daly Touts Polara's Effectiveness
Custom Balls for Recreational Players
Reduce Slicing up to 75% - Add Distance
Golf is a difficult game. Golfers
want to hit the ball as hard as
they can, but fight a slice
when they do. Hitting the ball
longer AND straighter makes
playing golf faster, cheaper
and much more fun;
fewer lost balls
to replace, less
time searching
for wayward drives
and above all, greater enjoyment
from shooting lower scores!
Tour pros get help the average
golfer doesn't. Golfweek (4/26)
pointed out that golf ball manufacturers
customize dimple patterns to provide
specific launch characteristics for PGA
Tour pros. Shouldn't those benefits be
available to everyone? Polara Golf
accomplishes that goal with its XDball,
delivering extra distance while correct-
ing slices by up to 50% with its unique,
asymmetrical dimple pattern.
PGA Tour legend John Daly
proclaims, "I'm really excited about
being involved with Polara Golf.
They've created terrific products
for recreational golfers that
allow them to Grip It and
Rip It, get more distance, be
more consistently in the
fairway, and have a lot more fun on the
golf course!" With the Polara ball, you
too can Grip It and Rip It like John Daly
without fearing that nasty slice!
For those needing extra correction,
the Polara Ultimate Straight reduces
slices up to 75%. There could be a slight
loss of distance, but youll be in the
fairway. "Everyone loves to hit their
low loft driver. But if you have a slice,
using a 3-wood or at least 12 loft on
your driver will allow you to hit the
Ultimate Straight ball much farther and
much, much straighter," Daly points
out. Try them and youll certainly
experience the anti-slice effect.
Golf Tips Magazine stated, If youre
a recreational golfer who tends to find
the rough more than the fairway, your
fast track to straighter shots has arrived.
Its a golf ball that flies straight, even
when you put a slice swing on it. Daly
concludes, "I've had my own issues
with wild shots in the past and Polara
balls would have corrected them all.
Polara balls are the perfect solution for
any golfer who wants more distance but
struggles with a slice."
Robotic Testing Validates Claims
Polara went to Golf Labs to validate their
balls performance, with eye-opening
results. During robotic
testing, a significant slice
was induced. On average,
Polara reduced the slice by
up to 75% over traditional
balls including premium
brands. Independent test
manager Richard Levine,
PhD, reported, The Golf
Labs robot was set up to
simulate a 90 foot slice
based on launch condi-
tions of an average
golfer. With the Polara
Ultimate Straight ball
we found that
compared to several
popular golf balls,
which all sliced
about 90 feet, the
Polara ball corrected
up to 70 feet of the 90
foot slice.
Bill Pennington (New
York Times) wrote,
The design of the
(Polara) ball corrects
slices and hooks by 75
percent. When I took the ball to a New
Jersey driving range, regular golfers and
the occasional pro could not slice or
hook the ball with any regularity.
Veteran journalist Ron Claiborne (ABC
News, Good Morning America)
reported, I carefully teed up a Polara
ball, arrow on top, as instructed. I reared
back and let it rip. The ball soared high
into the sky, arched and landed on the
fairway about 250 yards away. It had
flown straight and true from tee to
landing. I was in shock. No slice! I hit
another Polara. The same thing. And
another. I simply could not hit a bad shot.
It was a miracle.
Polara balls are designed for the vast
majority of golfers, recreational players
who want to take advantage of technol-
ogy improvements and have more fun.
Were not trying to remove the skill
from the game, said Polaras director of
R&D, David Felker. Were just trying
to remove the frustration.
With Polara golf balls, hit longer
straighter shots and have more fun -
guaranteed or your money back. For a
limited time Polara is offering 6-ball trial
packs for $9.95 each. (free S&H, conti-
nental US only). Polara balls are avail-

Fox aims for
moreAnimation
Domination
JAY BOBBIN
Zap2it
If making an animated
series was easy, a child
could do it.
Actually, one is involved
in the process now but
that still doesnt mean its
simple, especially if several
different shows are com-
bined. Thats the approach
of Animation Domination
High-Def, a late-night fran-
chise Fox debuts Saturday,
July 27. Two of the 15-min-
ute programs will be ready
for starters, and Fox will
give them preview show-
ings in primetime Sunday,
July 21.
Axe Cop is the compo-
nent involving the child,
Malachai Nicolle, whos
8 now. At age 5, he devel-
oped the premise as an
Internet comic book with
his much-older brother
Ethan. Nick Offerman
(Parks and Recreation)
supplies the voice of the
sleepless, birthday-cake-
consuming title charac-
ter, with Megan Mullally
(Offermans wife), Patton
Oswalt and Ken Marino
furnishing other vocals.
Also in the initial High-
Def lineup is High School
USA! with singer-actress
Mandy Moore and Vincent
Kartheiser - alias Pete
Campbell on AMCs Mad
Men - among those speak-
ing the words of a student
body with an ever-sunny,
undefeatable approach to
the many difculties faced
by modern youngsters.
Necessary changes in USAs Necessary Roughness
KATE OHARE
Zap2it
Its a hard-knock life out
there for scripted TVshows
these days. With increasing
pressure from unscripted
shows, video games, the
Internet and the economy,
getting and especially keep-
ing a show on the air is not
only a creative but a nan-
cial challenge.
But every now and then,
the stars align, and you get
just what you want.
ForCallieThorneof USAs
sports-psychologist drame-
dy Necessary Roughness,
which began its third season
in June, thats a huge, color-
ful new ofce set, boasting
funky modern furnishings
and shiny white oors that
reect light back into the
face.
Its home to V3 (short for
Caesars famous declara-
tion Veni, vidi, vici I
came, I saw, I conquered),
the New York City sports
agency/global marketing
rm that has just hired her
character, Dr. Dani Santino.
I call it the magic cas-
tle, she says in the shows
Atlanta production ofces
during a break in lming.
There are so many dif-
ferent rooms and areas to
shoot in. Starting the sev-
enth episode, I dont even
think weve actually used
every piece of this set yet.
Because, all of a sudden,
well be doing a scene, and
Ill be, like, Whered this
come from?

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: We have
a grown son who is
married with his own
family and home.
He and his wife have
jobs. My husband
and I are semiretired
not rich, but we
live comfortably. Our credit score is
great.
My son wants us to co-sign a loan
for him. I know his credit is not good
because I get phone calls from collec-
tion agents looking for him. We really
dont want to co-sign.
How do I explain this to him? I
feel that because Im his mother it
obligates me. I am also afraid he will
stop letting us see the grandkids if I
refuse.
Scared of the Dotted Line
Dear Scared: Since debt collectors
are calling because your son isnt
paying his bills, do not co-sign
for a loan for him! If you do, you
could wind up having to pay it off
yourselves.
Your son is an adult. That you
are his mother does not obligate you
to assume responsibility in case
he doesnt pay his bills. If he retali-
ates by not allowing you to see the
grandkids, so be it. If you knuckle
under to emotional blackmail, it
wont stop, and it could affect your
standard of living for the rest of your
lives.
Dear Abby: Im in high school and
my daddy just passed away. I want to
know why I have so much anger and
hurt about this. I feel like he never
got to see me reach any of my goals
in life. The main goal was to see my
graduation.
What is the best way I can get my
mind off this?
Young Girl in Alabama
Dear Young Girl: I am sorry for your
loss, which is a particularly difficult
one at your age.
Its important that you understand
the feelings you are experiencing are
normal. Anger is a part of the griev-
ing process, and it may take some
time for you to get beyond it.
The best way to get your mind off
this would be to find a safe place to
TALK about it. A grief support group
would be helpful. Your clergyperson
could help you find one and so could
your family doctor.
Dear Abby: I am writing regarding
the letter from Appreciative in
Hitchcock, Texas (June 17) about
the importance of sending thank-you
notes.
Maybe this will help others: When
our three children were young, we
had a note rule. When they received
a present, they had five days to write
the note. If written within two days,
the note only had to be three lines
long. On the third day, it was four
lines. On the fourth day, five lines.
On the fifth day the gift went to
charity!
None of them ever complained
about doing their notes, and it be-
came a habit while growing up. We
were proud of each of them when
their wedding thank-yous were out
within a week!
Strict Parents in St. Louis
Dear Strict Parents: Good for you!
You taught your children that there
were consequences for shirking
responsibility. Thats an important
lesson because the same is true when
they become adults.
DEAR ABBY

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Work
or school might feel like an
albatross around your neck, but
dont despair: An unexpected
encounter will remind you that
you have wings of your own, and
youre just waiting for the right
moment to take flight.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If
youve ever actually sung the
blues, you know how the things
that make you sad can be the
very same things that lift your
spirits once expressed. Try it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
network of far-flung friends and
relations maybe doesnt feel
exactly like a net, but rather
more like an exhausting trap of
obligations. Let everyone know
that youre taking a break.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
dont need to have a thrilling
time to have a good time. Youll
be more reasonable than your
friends in this regard. You have a
charming way of projecting the
voice of reason.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll return
favors, give gratitude and con-
tribute big. But theres a sense
that you cant get even with
some people who always want to
give you more. Perhaps because
they need the upper hand?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
strive for a pure heart and
devout soul. It doesnt always
work out that way. On the bright
side, vice in moderation can be a
bonding agent between people.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pleasant
surprises are still surprises, and
youre just not in the mood to be
startled in any way. Luckily, you
will be able to control your
environment to a large degree.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good
fortune is the result of good
planning. Of course, for a plan to
work, you have to follow it, which
you will with a few exceptions.
Today youre the perfect mix
of being structured and in the
moment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When it comes to the daily dance
of juggling work and family,
youve often felt as if you have
two left feet. But others only
see how well you can spin those
plates without dropping them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Older people tend to project an
illusion of happiness onto young-
er people who may or may not
feel that way. This moon helps
you tune in to the truth of the
matter, though, and reach out as
needed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
love mischievous and playful
people, but not dishonest people.
The distinctions can get a bit
murky. Dont be afraid to clear
them up, though, and sooner
rather than later.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even
when you are not among your
true and sincere friends, you can
still be yourself. In fact, thats the
best person to be to attract new
true and sincere friends.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 18). You
prefer slow, steady change to
jarring transformations this year
and will get your wish. Because
of this style, youll enjoy the
unfolding of who you are becom-
ing. Children figure into your
professional and personal life in
September. A savvy investment
pays off in December. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 25, 43, 11 and 16.

subtraction, multiplica-
tion, and division. For
advanced players, theres
no reason why you
cant add square roots,
trigonometry or more.
Second, because the
equations on the board
are go up, down, and even
backwards, youll start
thinking about numbers
in a very different way.
Third, while calculations
are essential, if you want
to win, youll also need to
employ logic and strategy.
Ages 9 and up. $17.95
Mathable Junior
This variation on the
classic is aimed at chil-
dren 5 and up. The tiles
are larger and colorful,
which makes them easier
to handle and more fun
for little hands to play
with. The board has two
sides, one designed for
those just getting used to
using numbers, the other
for those whore pretty
good but arent quite
ready to move up to the
big-kid/grown-up version.
$18.95
Mathable Quattro
With a nod to the cur-
rent Texas Hold Em
poker craze, Quattro uses
a deck of 106 numbered
cards instead of tiles.
Players get dealt a hand
and then four additional
cards go face up in the
middle. Players then cre-
ate math equations by
combining the numbers
in their hand with those
on the table. The one who
uses the most cards wins.
Again, the rules say only
addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and divi-
sion, but its ne with us
if you want to add more
advanced skills. Ages 9
and up. $6.69
Mathable Domino
While the basic theme
of creating equations is
the same, this game adds
a degree of difculty by
using domino-like tiles
that have different num-
bers on each end. You
score points by strategi-
cally placing your tiles on
the board, building off the
ones that are already there.
Mathable Booklet
Mathable games are
great for road trips.
But with so many small
pieces, youre bound to
lose some. The Mathable
booklet solves that prob-
lem by cleverly creat-
ing versions of Domino,
Quattro and several other
games that you can do on
paper. All youll need is a
pencil. And a big eraser.
Many of the Mathable
games also are avail-
able as free phone- and
tablet apps, which you
can download at either
wookyentertainment.com
or mathablegame.com.
Although statistics on
legal adoption were gathered
haphazardly on the state and
federal levels in the 1950s
and 1960s and infor-
mal adoptions were never
recorded experts suggest
that about 120,000 children
were adopted each year dur-
ing those decades, peaking
at about 175,000 in 1970.
Research shows that
today about 5 million
Americans are adoptees,
and only 3 percent of them
are younger than 18.
For most of them, birth
records remain sealed. Even
today, adoptees inmost states
need a notarized request to
receive basic information
about their birth parents: age,
height, weight and limited
medical records. Their identi-
ties are not revealedas part of
that request.
But in 31 states, adult
adoptees and birth par-
ents can nd each other
through mutual-consent
registries, which allow
both parties to express
their interest in getting in
touch. Alternatively, online
adoption search sites can
provide help.
Pregnancy in a time
of gossip
Freddie Lussier grewupin
Roseville, Calif., when it was
still a small railroad town, a
place where everyone knew
everyone else and neighbor-
hood gossip owed freely.
She workedina local beau-
ty shop, and she could hear
the other women talk after
she got pregnant. So she left
town, going to live with an
older sister in Sacramento
until the babys birth.
The man Id been seeing
was older than me, but there
was no great love there, she
said. I didnt know what
to do. I was probably four
months along when I told
my mother.
She was mad and disap-
pointed. You know.
Afamily friend mentioned
that she knew a local couple
who wanted children but
couldnt have them. Freddie
and her mother visited a
Sacramento attorney, where
Freddie signed the papers.
I dont remember hav-
ing a choice, she said. My
mother wanted to meet the
people, but the attorney
advised us not to.
Everyone told me that
(the birth child) would
never know she was
adopted. I never pursued a
reunion, because Id never
disrupt her life that way.
Really, I put that birth so far
in the back of my head that
it was almost like it hadnt
happened.
The secrecy surrounding
adoption created compli-
cated parallel ctions: Not
only was the birth mother
expected to compartmental-
ize her past, but adoptive
parents also sometimes felt
the need to hide the reality
of their circumstances.
Perhaps some of them
worried that the stigma of
unwed motherhood would
tarnish the child they had
adopted. Perhaps they feared
that their families would be
singled out as different.
Achance encounter
For some, the power of
secrecy remains.
The woman who adopted
Lori Fox, who raised her and
loved her, is 81 now and a
widow. She does not like the
idea of a newspaper story
and does not want her name
used. Like many of her gen-
eration, she prefers that pri-
vate matters remain private.
It was only by chance that
she met Wendell Alderson at
the funeral several months
ago of the mutual friend who
had helped arrange the adop-
tion of his sisters birth child.
The two began talking
and, he said, she helped put
him in touch with Lori, her
only child.
She told me, Id like for
Lori to know some of her
family, he said.
Lori Fox is today a
50-year-old mother of three
who lives in Manteca, Calif.
She was 8 when her parents
told her she was adopted.
My parents sat me down
and told me, she said.
They cried. I felt bad for
them. And I felt bewildered.
I never wanted to ask
questions. My mother didnt
want me to feel different,
and I didnt want her to cry.
But she was intensely
aware of the secrecy sur-
rounding her adoption,
which stemmed in part, she
said, from her adoptive par-
ents fear that the biological
mother might want her back.
It was hush-hush, Lori
said. I was never encouraged
totell anybodyI was adopted.
If anybody asked questions,
my mother was uncomfort-
able. It was really sad.
Once she grew up and
had children of her own,
Lori wanted to know basic
health information. She
petitioned the state for a
non-identifying report, but
she didnt want to pursue a
full-edged search.
I didnt want to disrupt
her life, she said, echoing
her birth mothers words.
But I always envisioned
meeting her one day. I
thought, Whenits supposed
to happen, it will happen.
After Wendell Alderson
and her adoptive mother
met at the funeral, he wrote
a note, sending his email
address in case Lori wanted
to get in touch. Within days,
she responded.
I was excited, she said.
I couldnt wait.
Anewfound family
In the middle of the week,
Lori Fox made chicken and
pasta for Wendell Alderson
and his spouse, Ken Nather,
in their comfortable east
Sacramento home. She
works as a college English
instructor in Sacramento,
and as a break fromher long
commute home to Manteca,
she spends the occasional
weeknight in her newfound
birth uncles home.
She has met Freddie only
once. They text occasionally.
But the two women are cau-
tious and respectful of one
another and their families.
I texted Lori, You have
to reassure your mother
that no one wants to take
her place, and no one could,
Freddie said.
Their reunion took place
at Wendells home in late
January, several months
after he and Lori met. It was
delayedbecause Freddie had
been ill for much of the fall.
She has chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease and in
November was hospitalized
with pneumonia.
I dont know if this is a
new chapter opening or an
old chapter closing, Lori
said. Freddie and her daugh-
ter, Kelly, walked in, and we
all hugged. Freddie and I
didnt cry, but Kelly did.
Then they stood look-
ing at one another, trying
to gure out family resem-
blances, as the secrets that
froze their family in silence
for 50 years began dissolv-
ing.
Were both looking for-
wardto getting to knoweach
other better, Freddie said.
This is something I never
thought would happen. It
was kind of Gods will, you
know.
