Unless an applicant surfaces
today, Luzerne County Council may
have no one to ll the rest of Walter
Grifths controller term through
the end of the year.
The only two people who had
applied as of Monday evening were
Carolee Medico Olenginski and
Karen Ceppa-Hirko, but both are
strongly considering removing their
names from consideration.
Ceppa-Hirko said Monday she
is reconsidering in light of the
Republican Partys decision Sunday
to choose Medico Olenginski over
her to be the Republican controller
candidate in the November general
election.
Im frustrated and very
disappointed, Ceppa-
Hirko said. They werent
focusing on education. It
was about who would be
able to get the votes.
Medico Olenginski said
she has second thoughts about com-
pleting Grifths term because she
applied before the party put her on
the ballot.
Now that I received the ballot
nomination, I think it would be
best to withdraw from complet-
ing the rest of the controller term.
Id love to get started in the ofce,
but dont want anyone to
say that I have received an
unfair advantage, Medico
Olenginski said.
Fairness issue raised
Democrat Michelle
Bednar, who will run against
Medico Olenginski for con-
troller, has questioned the fairness
of putting Medico Olenginski in the
temporary post because it would
provide public exposure that could
benet her as a candidate for the
ofce. Bednar could not be reached
for comment Monday.
The controller elected Nov. 5 will
take ofce in January and receive
$64,999 annually for four years.
Medico Olenginski questions
why some people are challenging
her qualications for the ballot nom-
ination. She has a masters degree
in human resources administration
from the University of Scranton, 20
years of experience as a manage-
ment consultant, seminar facilita-
tor and staff trainer and was twice
elected county prothonotary.
I have a masters degree and
eight years of experience in gov-
ernment, she said Monday.

Fracking not welcome in England

Environmental activists lock themselves together at the main entrance to the Cuadrilla exploratory drilling site in Balcombe, England, as anti-fracking demonstra-

controversial gas extraction method. The banner reads: Leave it in the ground.

disease is about 10 times
more common than pre-
viously reported, health
ofcials said Monday.
As many as 300,000
Americans are actually
diagnosed with Lyme
disease each year, the
Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
announced.
Usually, only 20,000
to 30,000 illnesses are
reported each year. For
many years, CDC of-
cials have known that
many doctors dont
report every case and
that the true count was
probably much higher.
The new gure is the
CDCs most comprehen-
sive attempt at a better
estimate. The number
comes from a survey of
seven national laborato-
ries, a national patient
survey and a review of
insurance information.
Its giving us a fuller
picture and its not a
pleasing one, said Dr.
Paul Mead, who over-
sees the agencys track-
ing of Lyme disease.
The ailment is named
after Lyme, Conn.,
where the illness was
rst identied in 1975.

ted through the bites

Hanger wants to put

Gubernatorial candidate touts
new proposal in Wilkes-Barre
ANDREWM. SEDER

WILKES-BARRE
FormerstateDepartment
of Environmental
Protection head John
Hanger came to the
fringes of the Marcellus
Shale on Monday, but
the gubernatorial candi-
date wasnt here to talk
about fracking.
Instead, Hanger, 55,
stood on Public Square
with the Luzerne County
Community Colleges
Wilkes-Barre center as
his backdrop and touted
an education proposal
he believes will posi-
tion Pennsylvania fami-
lies for the future both
nancially and from an
employment factor.
He is pushing a
plan hes dubbed The
Keystone Opportunity
Fund that would grant
high school graduates
two years of community
college or one year at a
public university at no
immediate cost with the
idea that once those stu-
dents graduate and gain
employment, between
1.2 and 2.2 percent of
their pay will be sent
back to the state to pay
off the college costs over
a 15-year period.
My (plan) would
make higher educa-
tion affordable for all
Pennsylvanians and can
be implemented imme-
diately, Hanger said.
The (fund) would be
initially nanced with
a $1.5 billion bond and
a total of $3.4 billion of
bond nancing needed
over 10 years. The fund
would become self-sus-
taining through gradu-
ate repayments within
22.5 years. The Keystone
Opportunity Fund will
end the era of crushing
college debt that can fol-
low students and fami-
lies to the grave.
Hanger said that once
graduates enter the
workforce, those who
participated in the com-
munity college portion
of the program would
pay back 1.2 percent
of their incomes, state

Convicted robber wants charges tossed or newtrial
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A Philadelphia
man sentenced last month on charges
relating to the May 2012 robbery of a
Plymouth Township strip club has asked
a judge to acquit him of the
charges or give him a new trial.
Kevin Williams, 31, was sen-
tenced on July 8 to 10 to 20 years
in state prison after being con-
victed by a Luzerne County jury
in May of robbery, trespassing,
theft, receiving stolen property
and two counts of criminal con-
spiracy.
Through court papers led
by his attorney, Paul Galante, Williams
makes the requests based on his claim
that inconsistent and contradictory evi-
dence was presented at his trial.
Prosecutors say Williams and his co-
defendant, William Gronosky, entered
the Carousel Lounge on U.S. Route 11
in March 2012, pointed guns at the clubs
owner and left with cash and other items.
According to court papers, on March
15, 2012, Julius Greenberg,
owner of the Carousel Lounge,
told police he arrived at his busi-
ness and was in his ofce when
two men entered wearing dark-
colored hooded sweatshirts, ski
masks and gloves.
Greenberg told police both
men pointed handguns at him
and ordered him to the oor.
One hit him in the head with a
gun while the other pushed him down.
Police said the pair, later identied
as Williams and Gronosky, 30, of
Nanticoke, took cash from safes and a
register and stole items fromGreenbergs
pockets.
Greenberg said one of the men told
him not to get off the oor or he would
be shot. The men then ed.
Courtney Sadusky, 24, is awaiting
trial on charges relating to the robbery;
she allegedly told police she was with
Gronosky and Williams that day and they
told her to drive them to the Carousel
Lounge.
Sadusky said the two men were in
the club for about 15 minutes before
Gronosky told her to drive to her home
in Bear Creek so they could count
money. She later dropped them off at the
Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre
Township.
Gronosky later allegedly told Sadusky
that guns, gloves and a bag were left in
her car and she should get rid of them,
according to court papers. Sadusky then
alerted police about the items.
Williams said Greenberg and Sadusky
gave inconsistent and contradictory tes-
timony about the gloves used in the case,
as well as the length of time the assault
and robbery took.
Court papers also say DNA evidence
on the gloves and an alleged weapon did
not match Williams, and the guilty ver-
dict in the case was based on specula-
tion and conjecture because Williams
was present and participated in the
alleged crimes.
If an acquittal or new trial is not grant-
ed, court papers say, then Williams asks
that his sentence be reduced. Gronosky
is scheduled to stand trial on related and
charges stemming from other incidents
in September.

Beau Biden, son of vice president, undergoes tests
RANDALL CHASE
Associated Press
WILMINGTON, Del. Beau
Biden, the Delaware attorney gener-
al and the son of Vice President Joe
Biden, is undergoing medical testing
in Texas after being hospitalized last
week for weakness and disorientation,
his ofce said Monday night.
The younger Biden, who suffered a
mild stroke in 2010, began experienc-
ing the new symptoms last Wednesday
night after driving to Indiana for a
family vacation, said Jason Miller,
a spokesman for the Delaware
Department of Justice.
Biden, 44, was admitted to
Northwestern Memorial Hospital in
Chicago and traveled the next morn-
ing to Jefferson University Hospital in
Philadelphia to consult with his doc-
tor.
He was discharged and spent the
weekend at home in Wilmington.
Miller said Biden currently is under-
going testing in Houston to determine
the cause of his symptoms.
The White House says the vice
president, who had been at his home
in Delaware for the past several days,
accompanied his son to Houston.
There was no word on how long Vice
President Biden would remain in
Texas.
Miller said Beau Biden spoke by
telephone with Chief Deputy Attorney
General Ian McConnel over the week-
end, and had been in touch with his
ofce Monday evening.
Ofcials with Bidens ofce said they
had no comment beyond the prepared
statement Monday, but that further
information would be forthcoming.
Bidens Twitter account on Sunday
posted a photo of him and his father
sitting on a porch and smiling while
sending a message of encouragement
to a Delaware team that was in the
Little League World Series.
This isnt the rst health scare
for the younger Biden, who became
Delawares attorney general in 2007.
After suffering a mild stroke in May
2010, he spent a week in the Jefferson
University hospital and more than a
month recuperating at home.

Luzerne Countys free-and-clear back-tax auction Thursday is expected to draw a crowd
similar to this packed group of bidders at the countys August 2011 sale.
Popular back-tax auction set for Thursday
JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
A total 130 bidders have registered
for Thursdays popular free-and-clear
Luzerne County back-tax auction so
far, and more are expected to sign up
before Wednesdays 4:30 p.m. dead-
line.
Free-and-clear auctions typi-
cally draw large crowds of bidders
because back taxes, mortgages and
other liens tied to the properties are
forgiven. Most properties will be list-
ed at starting bids under $1,000 to
recoup only the tax claim ofce costs
to bring the parcels to auction.
Properties are eligible for auction
if real estate taxes are unpaid for two
years.
The inventory of properties wont
be nalized until the sale begins at
10 a.m. in the county courthouse
because property owners have until
the morning of the sale to get their
properties removed by paying,
obtaining court orders or ling for
bankruptcy.
The list of properties had been
reduced from around 400 to 268 as
of Monday afternoon.
Keystone Garden Estates, an
assisted-living facility in Larksville,
is one of the largest properties that
was still in the sale Monday due to
a back-tax debt of $367,919 dating
back to 2007. The property owner
has maintained the taxes will be paid
through a renancing before the sale.
The Four Seasons Golf Club in
Exeter is out of the sale because
owners Amita and Ragesh Patel
recently paid $194,600 in taxes owed
from 2010 through 2012, according
to Northeast Revenue Service LLC,
the countys tax-claim operator.
A judge agreed to temporar-
ily remove the former Hottles
Restaurant on South Main Street in
Wilkes-Barre from auction because
property owners William and Lynn
Kravits said they are transitioning to
newmanagement of the once thriving
dining establishment, which closed
in the fall of 2010 after 73 years in
business, Northeast Revenue said.
William and Lynn Kravits owe
$26,717 in property taxes from 2010
through 2012, county records show.
In addition to Hottles, 66 proper-
ties have been removed from the sale
due to court orders or concerns that
all lien holders have not been suf-
ciently notied of the sale. These
properties will be listed in a special
free-and-clear auction on Nov. 14 if
taxes are not paid.
Among the other properties con-
tinued to the Nov. 14 auction, accord-
ing to Northeast Revenues records:
The former Coal Crackers bar
and restaurant on Alter Street in
Hazleton. Owner Carol Sheman
owes $12,881 in taxes from 2010 to
the present.
Six properties owned by Hazle
Township businessman James
Lagana, including his 6,600-square-
foot mansion on Butler Terrace Drive
in the township, which is assessed
at $675,000. Lagana owes $38,000
in taxes on the residence from 2010
through 2012.
A 2,700-square-foot residential

Man faces assault
charges in Mich.
A Wright Township man charged with
sexually assaulting the same two girls for
a period of time in Michigan and Luzerne
County has appeared in Michigan to
face charges. David Zarn, 46, who has
been free on bail, jailed and then released
on bail again within recent weeks, has
appeared voluntarily to Michigan authori-
ties to face charges there.
Prosecutors say Zarn faces a possible
life sentence on the charges in Michigan.
Zarn previously sought to withdraw a
waiver of his extradition to Michigan, but
in a one-page order led Monday, Judge
Lesa Gelb said that request is no longer
valid because Zarn has gone to Michigan.
In a criminal complaint outlining the
charges Zarn faces in Michigan included

sexually assaulted two girls between 2002

Judge hears requests in Hazleton homicide
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County judge on
Monday heard testimony in
the case of two men charged
with robbing and killing
another man in an alleged
drug deal gone bad, includ-
ing that a condential infor-
mant wore a wire to get
information from one man.
Judge Richard Hughes, at
a hearing for Breon Judon,
20, and Mitchell Dedes, 18,
heard testimony in a number
of requests made by Judon
defense attorney Allyson
Kacmarski, including that
statements he made to inves-
tigators and information
obtained through a wiretap
should be thrown out.
Judon and Dedes are
charged in the death of Aaron
Reznick, 29, of Hazleton, in
August 2012. The two men
are scheduled to stand trial
on Sept. 23. Hughes said
hell make rulings in the
cases within the next three
weeks.
During Mondays hear-
ing, First Assistant
District Attorney Samuel
Sanguedolce testied he
approved a wire to be worn
by a police informant to
obtain information from
Judon.
Sanguedolce said he spoke
with the informant and
approved that he agreed to
wear a wire during an Aug.
18, 2012, conversation.
In that conversation,
Hazleton police Detective
Sgt. David Bunchalk testi-
ed the informant learned
Judon told him Judon and
Dedes confronted Reznick,
took his iPhone, stripped
him, assaulted him and put
him in the trunk of a car.
Reznick escaped the trunk
and was laying in the middle
of a roadway when the two
men got out of the car and
left after realizing Reznick
was dead.
Bunchalk also testied he
interviewed Judon in the
days after the incident, dur-
ing which time Judon said he
knew why he was there and
blamed Dedes for Reznicks
death.
But he never denied actu-
ally being there, Bunchalk
said.
Bunchalk also testied he
had searched a home Judon
had lived in where four guns
were found, numerous types
of ammunition, two cell-
phones and a bloodstained
T-shirt and bed sheet.
Hughes said he would
accept additional court
papers regarding defense
attorneys requests.
Hughes will consider
photos to be shown at the
trial if needed, prosecutors
requests to present evidence
of prior bad acts of both men
and a request to sever the
Judon and Dedes trials.
Shortly before Mondays
hearing began, Dedes asked
to be moved away from
Judon inside the courtroom
because he overheard a dis-
cussion between Judon and
an investigator working on
his case. The two men were
sitting next to each other.
Dedes said the investigator
and Judon were talking about
him and referred to him as a
punk. Investigators and
sheriff deputies intervened,
moving the men apart.
Dedes stayed for the
beginning of Mondays hear-
ing, then met with his attor-
neys, Demetrius Fannick and
Nicole Thompson, before
being taken back to the
county prison.

WILKES-BARRE Keep an eye
out for orange cones and reective
vests on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Paving work along Pennsylvania
between East Market and North
streets will begin today and is
expected to continue throughout the
week.
Drivers are advised to expect
delays.
Already on Monday, parking
meters along Pennsylvania Avenue
had been covered with orange plas-
tic bags as crews prepared to begin
their work.
The project is part of a $388,483
package of improvements to four
city streets that began earlier this
month and which is expected to
continue through September, city
spokeswoman Liza Prokop said
Monday.
According to Butch Frati, the
citys director of operations, the
affected streets are:
South Main Street, from
Blackman Street to Division Street;
Pennsylvania Avenue, from East
Market Street to North Street;
South Sherman Street, from
Amber Lane to Northampton Street;
The intersection of Darling
Street and Courtright Avenue.
The project, nanced by the
Community Development Ofce
and the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development,
will include milling, paving, line-
painting, handicap-ramp upgrades
and other work as needed, Frati said.
There will be lane closures as nec-
essary, he added, and aggers will be
on hand to direct trafc around the
work.
American Asphalt was low bidder
for the work, Frati said.
We will be announcing each area
via press release prior to work begin-
ning to provide public notication
on trafc delays, Prokop said.
Of the four streets, the paving on
South Main near Blackman has been
completed, Prokop said.

OTTAWA
Rail company
can keep operating
A Canadian government agency has
determined that the U.S. rail company
whose runaway train crashed into a
small Quebec town, killing 47 people
last month, has adequate insurance to
keep operating for the next month and
a half.
The Canadian Transportation
Agency said the Montreal, Maine &
Atlantic Railway provided evidence
it had adequate third-party liability
insurance coverage to operate from
Aug. 20 to Oct. 1. The agencys deci-
sion reversed an Aug. 13 order that
would have halted the railroads opera-
tions from early next week.
However, agency spokeswoman
Jacqueline Bannister said Montreal,
Maine & Atlantic must show it has the
funds to pay the self-insured portion
of its operations, or the regulator will
suspend its operations from Aug. 23.

Coastswarned about rising seas
DAVIDB. CARUSO
and MEGHANBARR
Associated Press
NEWYORKCoastal com-
munities should assume oods
are going to happen more fre-
quently and realize that spend-
ing nowon protective measures
could save money later, accord-
ing to a report issued by a
presidential task force charged
with developing a strategy for
rebuilding areas damaged by
Superstorm Sandy.
Most of the reports 69 rec-
ommendations focus on a
simple warning: Plan for future
storms in an age of climate
change and rising sea levels. It
calls for development of a more
advanced electrical grid and
the creation of better planning
tools and standards for storm-
damaged communities.
If we built smart, if we
build resilience into communi-
ties, then we can live along the
coast. We can do it in a way that
saves lives and protects taxpay-
er investments, said Secretary
of Housing and Urban
Development Shaun Donovan,
who discussed the report
Monday with New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Donovan was appointed chair-
man of the Hurricane Sandy
Rebuilding Task Force by
President Barack Obama.
Some of the groups key
recommendations are already
being implemented, includ-
ing the creation of new ood-
protection standards for major
infrastructure projects built
with federal money and the pro-
motion of a sea-level modeling
tool that will help builders and
engineers predict where ood-
ing might occur in the future.
It strongly opposes simply
rebuilding structures as they
were before they were devastat-
ed by Octobers historic storm.
The task force also endorsed
an ongoing competition, called
Rebuild by Design, in which
10 teams of architects and engi-
neers from around the world
are exploring ways to address
vulnerabilities in coastal areas.
Were always going to have
people, I think, want to live
in areas that are problematic
from an environmental point
of view, Bloomberg said at
Mondays news conference,
which was held overlooking a
Brooklyn water treatment plant
that stayed online during the
storm.
We still want to leave it to
you, the individual, to make
your decisions, but the federal
government has some econom-
ic incentives, he said, noting
rescue crews are needed to save
ooded-out residents, because
if you do get in trouble, were
going to have to come to your
aid anyway.
It said the government
should nd ways to encourage
the private sector to develop
fuel distribution and telecom-
munications systems that are
less likely to be crippled by
extended power outages. After
Sandy, drivers in New York and
New Jersey had problems nd-
ing gas stations that still had
fuel because of a series of prob-
lems that rippled through the
distribution system. Cellphone
networks were snuffed out in
some areas because of equip-
ment that lacked adequate bat-
tery power, or other backup
electrical supplies.

Possibility Mubarak to go free
HAMZAHENDAWI
Associated Press
CAIRO Jailed ex-Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak could be
released later this week, judicial ofcials
said Monday, a move that would fuel the
unrest roiling the country after the auto-
cratic leaders successor was removed in
a military coup.
Underscoring the growing anger over
Mohammed Morsis ouster, suspected
Islamic militants ambushed two mini-
buses carrying off-duty policemen in
Egypts Sinai Peninsula, forcing the men
to lie on the sand and shooting 25 of
them dead.
The brazen daylight attack raised
fears that the strategic desert region
bordering Israel and the Gaza Strip
could be plunged into insurgency.
The 25 were given a funeral with full
military honors after a plane brought
their bodies to an air base in eastern
Cairo. Interior Minister Mohammed
Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police,
and the armys Chief of Staff, Gen. Sobhi
Saleh, led the funeral.
The cofns of the victims were
draped in red, white and black Egyptian
ags and, in a show of solidarity, were
jointly carried in the funeral procession
by army soldiers and policemen. Earlier,
relatives and friends wept over the cof-
ns.
Despite the violence, Cairo, a bustling
metropolis of some 18 million people,
began to restore a sense of normalcy
although the capital remained under a
state of emergency and a dusk-to-dawn
curfew.
During his decades ruling Egypt,
Mubarak frequently warned that Egypt
would fall into chaos without him at the
helm. The 85-year-old former president
has been in detention since April 2011,
weeks after he was ousted in a revolu-
tion against his rule.
He was found guilty and sentenced
to life in prison in June last year for his
failure to stop the killing of some 900
protesters in the 18-day uprising. His
sentence was overturned on appeal and
he is now being retried, along with his
security chief and six top police com-
manders.
Two judicial ofcials, however, said
there will no longer be any grounds to
hold the 85-year-old former president if
a court accepts a petition by his lawyer
requesting his release in a corruption
case later this week.
Many analysts, however, expressed
skepticism, saying the political cost
of letting the former leader who was
widely hated for widespread abuses and
repression during his 29 years in power
could keep him in jail.
However, his release during one of
the worst bouts of turmoil since his
ouster could be a huge risk for the mili-
tary-backed government and authorities
will likely decide to keep himin custody.
Tensions in Egypt have soared since
the army ousted Morsi, who was
Egypts rst freely elected president, in
a July 3 coup following days of protests
by millions of Egyptians demanding the
Islamist president step down and accus-
ing him of abusing his powers.
On Wednesday, the military raided
two protest camps of Morsis supporters
in Cairo, killing hundreds of people and
triggering the current wave of violence.
Human Rights Watch, in a report
released on Monday, accused Egyptian
security forces of using excessive force
when they moved on Wednesday to
clear the larger of two sit-in protest
camps.

Christie
signs N.J.
ban on gay
therapy
ANGELADELLI SANTI
Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. Republican
Gov. Chris Christie signed a law
on Monday barring licensed thera-
pists from trying to turn gay teen-
agers straight, the latest example of
the potential 2016 presidential can-
didate steering a
moderate course.
The governor
said the health
risks of trying to
change a childs
sexual orienta-
tion, as identied
by the American
Psychol ogi cal
Association, trump concerns over
the government setting limits on
parental choice. Government
should tread carefully into this
area, he said in the signing note,
and I do so here reluctantly.
The decision marked the third
time this month that Christie has
staked out a moderate position on
a hot-button social issue as he seeks
a second term in a Democratic-
leaning state. It also offers more
evidence that the popular governor
is positioning himself as a pragma-
tist who shuns more conservative
elements within his party.
Christie found middle ground
on medical marijuana for children
when he agreed Friday to allow
growers to cultivate additional
strains, and for marijuana to be
made in an edible form for chroni-
cally ill children. But he would not
lift an oversight provision that
could require as many as three doc-
tors to sign off on a prescription.
Last week, Christie vetoed a bill
banning .50-caliber ries that was
vigorously opposed by gun rights
advocates and gutted a proposed
overhaul of the states gun permit
law that relied on undeveloped
technology. Recently, he signed 10
less-signicant gun measures the
Democrat-led Legislature passed
after last years deadly school
shooting rampage in Newtown,
Conn.
The decisions allow Christie
to quiet some of the criticism he
could face from conservatives by
offering specic reasons why he
was taking the steps, often citing
compassion for the needs of chil-
dren and families.
His approval of the conversion
therapy ban could be met with
criticism in Christian conserva-
tive circles with inuence in early
voting states like Iowa and South
Carolina.
Conversion therapy gained
attention two years ago when for-
mer GOP presidential candidate
Michele Bachmann was ques-
tioned over whether her husbands
Christian counseling business
provided services that attempt-
ed to change gays and lesbians.
Bachmanns husband, Marcus,
denied involvement in the therapy
and the congresswoman dropped
out of the presidential campaign in
January 2012 after a poor showing
in the Iowa caucuses.
Prosecution: Woman screamed, then Pistorius fred
GERALD IMRAY
Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa A
woman screamed and then there was
silence, according to South African
prosecutors pressing a premeditated
murder case against Oscar Pistorius.
Next, the indictment says, witnesses
heard gunshots and more screaming at
the home of the Paralympic champion,
who says he shot his girlfriend by mis-
take on Valentines Day.
The sequence of events outlined
Monday could bolster an argument
that the double-amputee Olympian
was intent on killing Reeva Steenkamp
after an altercation and was not react-
ing fearfully to what he thought was
an intrusion in his home, as he has
said. Prosecutors revealed a list of
more than 100 witnesses, some of
whom live in the gated community
where she was killed.
Pistorius wept and prayed in court
as he held hands with his brother and
sister before being served with the
indictment. The athlete will face an
additional charge of illegal possession
of ammunition when his blockbuster
trial starts on March 3 in a court in
the South African capital, Pretoria.
The indictment in the Pretoria
Magistrates Court yielded new details
about how prosecutors will pursue
a case that has gripped the world
because of the celebrity status of
Pistorius, who overcame his disability
to become a global phenomenon, only
to see his name and accomplishments
tarnished by his role in a violent
death. The timing of the indictment
was melancholic because Steenkamp
would have celebrated her 30th birth-
day on Monday.
The main charge laid by prosecu-
tors carries a mandatory sentence of
life imprisonment with a minimum of
25 years in prison if Pistorius is con-
victed. The prosecutions allusion to
a possible ght between the couple
at Pistorius villa before the shooting
raises the possibility of a motive.

Lawyer: 25victims expected to settle with Penn St.
MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG A
lawyer brought in by Penn
State to help resolve civil
claims with the sexual abuse
victims of former assis-
tant football coach Jerry
Sandusky said Monday that
he expects 25 of 31 to be set-
tled by the end of the week.
Attorney Michael Rozen
said the overwhelming
majority of the eight young
men who testied against
Sandusky last year are
among the 25.
A 25-year-old man from
suburban Philadelphia, a
trial witness referred to as
Victim5, became the rst to
nalize a deal on Friday.
Rozen said all the deals
include provisions to give
the university the right to
pursue claims against the
universitys insurer, The
Second Mile charity found-
ed by Sandusky and The
Second Miles insurer.
Sandusky is serving a 30-
to 60-year prison sentence
for child sexual abuse.
Rozen said the value of
the claims depended in part
on whether they happened
after 2001, when top-rank-
ing school ofcials were
told by a graduate assistant
about Sandusky with a child
in a team shower, or before
1998, the earliest document-
ed example of a Sandusky
complaint.
Its what did Penn State
know and what duty did
they have? Rozen said.
What did they know, when
did they know it, and what
duty, if any, did they have to
act, and to what extent?
He said claims for abuse
before 1998 also may fall
outside the statute of limita-
tions on how long victims
have to sue.
Although some lawyers
have said they were inter-
ested in settlements that
require Penn State to make
changes that might pre-
vent such abuse from re-
occurring, Rozen said those
matters have been eclipsed
by the widespread reforms
the university has adopted
or begun since an internal
report made a series of rec-
ommendations last summer.
Widowgranted
hearing on home
MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG A
western Pennsylvania
woman whose $280,000
home was sold at auction
over $6.30 in unpaid inter-
est won a court decision
Monday allowing her a
fresh opportunity to argue
she should not lose her
home.
Commonwealth Court
ruled that it was a mis-
take for a Beaver County
judge to rule against Eileen
Battisti without rst hold-
ing an evidentiary hearing.
This was particularly
inappropriate because the
outstanding liability was
small and the value of the
home was far greater than
the amount paid by (the)
purchaser, wrote Judge
Mary Hannah Leavitt.
Leavitt said the state
Supreme Court has
emphasized that due pro-
cess under both the United
States and Pennsylvania
Constitutions must be
satised whenever the
government subjects a citi-
zens property to forfeiture
for nonpayment of taxes.
Battistis lawyer said she
still lives in her Aliquippa
home, even though it was
sold nearly two years ago
to S.P. Lewis of Imperial
for about $116,000.
Messages seeking com-
ment werent returned on
Monday by Lewis and his
lawyer or by the Beaver
County Solicitors Ofce.
Battisti purchased the
home outside Pittsburgh
in 1999 with her husband,
who managed their nanc-
es. She paid off the prop-
erty after he died in 2004
with proceeds from his life
insurance policy.
The opinion by Leavitt
said Battisti had difculty
taking over the nancial
matters, in part because
of a series of personal
setbacks. She fell behind
on various tax bills, but
believed she had paid them
all off, even though some
were late.
The $6.30 penalty was
added to her tax bill in
2009, which grew with
interests and costs to $235
by late 2011, when the
home was sold at auction.
She appealed the sale
to county court, which
ruled in May 2012 that
she received all notices
required by law. A month
later, Judge C. Gus Kwindis
ordered that the Beaver
County Tax Claim Bureau
could not issue a deed
to Lewis while Battisti
appealed.
An attorney for Lewis
offered to settle the dispute
last year for $160,000 from
Battisti.
David Holland wrote in a
court brief that Battisti did
have notice of the tax sale
and that she made argu-
ments in the appeal that
legal procedures should
not permit.

Fetus found
in bathroom
Ofcials in the Lehigh

after a dead baby was

bathroom.
Police in Lower Saucon
Township say an employee
found the fetus inside a
toilet tank in the womens
restroom at Starters Pub
around 10 a.m. Monday.

PITTSBURGH
Topless rally
needs OK
Pittsburgh ofcials are
mulling the legality of a rally
planned by a group that
hopes to celebrate Womens
Equality Day by having
women march topless
alongside men in bikinis.
The organizers of
GoTopless.org told the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
they believe its unfair that
women cannot be topless in
public while men can.
The mayors ofce has
yet to issue a permit for
Saturdays march, and city
Public Safety Director
Michael Huss said hes not
sure the rally would be
legal with or without a
permit under the states
indecent exposure law.
A similar rally planned
in Asheville, N.C., last year
drew hundreds of people,
instead of the thousands
expected by organizers, and
only about a dozen women
willing to go topless.
HARRISBURG
Man stabs
mom, 3 cops
A Harrisburg man was
charged with four counts of
attempted homicide after
police say he stabbed his
mother and three police
ofcers.
Authorities said the
ofcers were trying to
arrest 30-year-old Lamarkus
Williams early Sunday for
stabbing his 57-year-old
mother when he stabbed
the three of them.
One of the injured of-
cers subdued Williams
with a stun gun during the
struggle. City ofcials say
he has a mental disorder.
The ofcers were treated
at a hospital and released.
Ofcials said Williams
mother remained hospital-
ized in critical condition
Monday. Williams was sent
to Dauphin County Prison
on $1 million cash bail.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled for Aug. 28.

Thousands of Syrians fee to Iraq; crisis feared
SINANSALAHEDDIN
and ZEINAKARAM
Associated Press
BAGHDAD Tens of thousands of
Syrian Kurds swarmed across a bridge
into neighboring Iraqs northern self-
ruled Kurdish region over the past few
days in one of the biggest waves of refu-
gees since the rebellionagainst President
Bashar Assad began, U.N. ofcials said
Monday.
The sudden exodus of around 30,000
Syrians amid the summer heat has cre-
ated desperate conditions and left aid
agencies and the regional government
struggling to accommodate them, illus-
trating the huge strain the 2-year-old
Syrian conict has put on neighboring
countries.
The mostly Kurdish men, women and
children who made the trek join some
1.9 million Syrians who already have
found refuge abroad from Syrias relent-
less carnage.
This is an unprecedented inux of
refugees, and the main concern is that so
many of them are stuck out in the open
at the border or in emergency reception
areas with limited, if any, access to basic
services, said Alan Paul, emergency
teamleader for the Britain-based charity
Save the Children.
The refugee response in Iraq is
already thinly stretched, and close to half
of the refugees are children who have
experienced things no child should, he
said, adding that thousands of refugees
were stranded at the border, waiting to
be registered.
The U.N. said the reason for this ow,
which began ve days ago and contin-
ued unabated Monday, is unclear. But
Kurdish areas in northeastern Syria
have been engulfed by ghting in recent
months between Kurdish militias and
Islamic extremist rebel factions with
links to al-Qaida. Dozens have been
killed.
After the assassination of a prominent
Kurdish leader late last month, a power-
ful Kurdish militia said it was mobilizing
to expel Islamic extremists.
On Monday, activists said ght-
ers from al-Qaida-linked jihadi groups
shelled areas in the predominantly
Kurdish town of Ras al-Ayn with mor-
tars and artillery, coinciding with clash-
es in the area between Kurdish gunmen
and jihadi ghters.
Syrian refugees are still pouring into
Iraqs northern Kurdish region in huge
numbers, and most of them are women
and children, said Youssef Mahmoud, a
spokesman for the U.N. refugee agency
in Iraqs Kurdish region.
Today, some 3,000 Syrian refu-
gees crossed the borders, and that has
brought the number to around 30,000
refugees since Thursday.
The latest wave has brought the over-
all number of Syrian refugees in the
Kurdish region to around 195,000, he
added.
The U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees has set up an emergency tran-
sit camp in Irbil, the capital of Iraqs
Kurdish autonomous region, to house
some of the new arrivals. Some of the
refugees were said to be staying in
mosques or with family or friends who
live in the area, according to the agency.
At one camp near Irbil, dozens of
refugees carrying their bags, belong-
ings and babies roamed through rows
of tents, footage shot by AP Television
News showed. Some men lined up to
get blocks of ice from a pickup truck.
Children huddled around a truck to
get watermelon distributed by regional
security forces.
UNHCR said it is sending 15 truck-
loads of supplies 3,100 tents, two pre-
fabricated warehouses and thousands
of jerry cans to carry water from its
regional stockpile in Jordan. It said the
shipment should arrive by the end of the
week. Kurds are Syrias largest ethnic
minority, making up more than 10 per-
cent of the countrys 23 million people.
They are centered in the poor northeast-
ern regions of Hassakeh and Qamishli,
wedged between the borders of Turkey
and Iraq. There are also several predom-
inantly Kurdish neighborhoods in the
capital, Damascus, and Syrias largest
city, Aleppo.
Bahzad Ali Adam, deputy governor
of Iraqs Dahuk province, which borders
Syria, said the latest ow will put more
strain on the budget and public ser-
vices in the region, which is also home
to thousands of mainly Iraqi Arabs and
Christians who have ed the violence in
other parts of the country.
The refugees need place to live, food
and health services, Adam, who heads
the operation room to receive Syrian
refugees, said in a phone interview from
Baghdad.
Earlier this month, the president
of Iraqs autonomous Kurdish region,
Massoud Barzani, vowed to defend
Syrias Kurds. He gave no details on
how he would do so, but Iraqi Kurdistan
boasts a powerful and experienced
armed force known as the peshmerga.
Armed intervention by Iraqi Kurds
would carry enormous risks and appears
unlikely. Still, the pledge, along with the
ghting, shows the potential of Syrias
conict to spread to neighboring coun-
tries and become a full-blown regional
war.
The Kurdish exodus is just one layer
in Syrias increasingly complex civil war,
which has killed more than 100,000 peo-
ple, ripped apart the countrys delicate
sectarian fabric and destroyed cities and
towns.
Assads regime has used warplanes,
tanks and ballistic missiles to try to
pound rebellious areas into submission.
The rebels, along with the U.S. and
other Western powers, say the Assad
regime has also used chemical weapons
in the conict. The Syrian government
and its ally, Russia, blame the opposition
for the alleged chemical attacks.
On Monday, a team of U.N. experts
began their long-awaited investigation
into the purported used of chemical
arms. The teams task is to determine
whether chemical weapons have been
used, and if so, which ones. Its mandate
does not extend to establishing who was
responsible for an attack, and that has
led some observers to question the over-
all value of the probe.

TOMHAYS
Associated Press
NEW YORK A pair of
gunrunners smuggled guns
into New York City by hid-
ing them in luggage they
carried on discount buses
that offered cheap fares
and lesser odds of getting
caught, authorities said
Monday.
An undercover city police
ofcer posing as a gun bro-
ker for criminal customers
bought 254 weapons from
the men in dozens of trans-
actions since last year
the largest gun seizures in
the city in recent memory.
One of the guns was an
assault rie that was disas-
sembled and transported in
a girlfriends zebra-striped
bag, authorities said.
The alleged smugglers,
Walter Walker and Earl
Campbell, were among 19
people arrested in New York
and in North Carolina and
South Carolina states
where the guns origi-
nated as the result of
a 10-month investigation.
Also charged was an aspir-
ing rapper from Brooklyn.
Walker and Campbell
were arrested earlier this
month by local police in
their home states, authori-
ties said. The names of their
defense attorneys were not
immediately available.
There is no doubt that
the seizure of these guns has
saved lives, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg said at a news
conference.

on Dec. 20, 1925. His childhood
was spent in a closely knit circle
of creative family members who
encouraged him to develop his
passion for music. By the age of
14, he was playing the trombone
in the Kingston High School
Band and for money in Wyoming
Valley dance bands. After gradu-
ation from high school, Max was
drafted into the United States
Army and served in France and
Germany in the 100th Infantry
Division eld artillery unit.
Claimingthat his trombone saved
his life, he was reassigned to an
Army dance band that toured the
perimeter of the European battle
theater until the end of World
War II. Immediately after leaving
the service, he enrolled in Kings
College and was in the rst grad-
uating class in 1950, where he
was a catcher on its rst baseball
team.
During his college years, he
met and married the love of his
life, Ruth. He was recalled into
the Army in 1950 and served
as an artillery supply ofcer
at Fort Sill, Okla. He spent his
entire working career as a claims
adjuster and ofce manager
for Royal Insurance Co., retir-
ing in 1988. His musical legacy
included performing in the
Scranton Symphony, Allentown
Symphony, Pioneer Band and the
Allentown Band, for which he
served as president and business
manager for many years until his
retirement from the organiza-
tion in 2011. He also served as
president of the Windjammers
Unlimited, an organization
devoted to circus band music.
He played with the Big Band
Ambassadors and Bud Raders
Dance Band, perpetuating the
music of the 1940s and 1950s.
In 2008, Warren Wilson was pre-
sented the Arts Ovation Award
for Service to the Community.
His service to his neighborhood
included coaching the Midway
Manor baseball team and as
treasurer of the Midway Manor
Association. Max approached
life with passion that earned him
the love and respect of his family
and friends.
The family thanks the staff at
Kirkland Village and the team
from St. Lukes VNA Hospice
for their kind and gentle care for
Max, especially during his lifes
nal journey.
SURVIVORS: Not one to
allow his professional life to
interfere with his true loves, fam-
ily and music, Max left a legacy of
devotion to his children, Daralyn
Foster and husband Robert, Ross
Wilson and wife Jan, grandchil-
dren Justin and wife Ashley,
Adam and Zachary Gottwald,
Joshua and Erin Wilson, and
two great-grandchildren, Leo

Pittston High Dufer
swings into big time
BILL TARUTIS | TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO
Brandon Matthews in November, 2011, when he was named Golfer of the Year while playing for
Pittston Area High School.
Take a look at the fresh-scrubbed
face, the boy-next-door smile, the casu-
al (but not too casual) fashion state-
ment of polo shirt over T-shirt. Its
Brandon Matthews in 2011, right after
being named high school golfer of the
year. Do you see promise?
By the time this photo was taken,
Matthews, a Pittston Area High School
grad, had already won a PIAA state
golf championship in 2010. He also
medaled twice in the states.
Matthews honed his skill on the
greens of Fox Hill Country Club in
Exeter, and in 2012 teamed with Rick
Laneski to win that clubs biggest
event, the John A. Allan Tournament.
He went to Temple University on
a Division I scholarship and immedi-
ately stroked the teams best average,
winning three consecutive games.
Matthews led the Owls to their rst
tournament title in two seasons at
Villanovas Wildcat Invitational, and
was named Atlantic 10 Conference
rookie of the week for his efforts in
2013.
And last week the Pittston Patriot
with the gifted swing landed in the
quarternals of 113th U.S. Amateur.
That put him among the top eight of
more than 7,000 who initially gunned
for qualication.
True, Matthews struggled through
is quarternal bout and was ultimately
eliminated. I felt it on the range, he
said. I just didnt have it today.
But that hardly diminishes his
accomplishment. He had reached the
top one-tenth of one percent of those
who competed at the start of it all.
And theres no reason to assume his
trajectory will go anywhere but up.
Hes been that good that good con-
sistently for years.
But regardless of his future, his pres-
ent deserves special note. As popu-
lar as it is, golf is not a sport on the
radar of many local residents, and his
accomplishment at the Country Club
in Brookline, Mass., put him in a rar-
eed atmosphere of this regions elite
athletes.
Brandon Matthews is not a local
boy done good.
He is a local man doing great.
Teacher union is right to
engage dissenters head
he National Education Association
is keenly aware that its teachers are
not a political monolith. The nations
largest labor union is now making a
pragmatic shift from simply tolerat-
ing its internal dissenters to engag-
ing them.
The NEAs most visible strategy
is a yearlong fellowship that starts
this fall. Teachers will travel to
Washington for policy meetings and
participate in monthly Web-based
training in policymaking and advo-
cacy.
The 3.2 million-member union and
a national teacher leadership organi-
zation, Teach Plus, selected 53 teach-
ers from around the country.
Criticism of the union as inex-
ible on pressing issues including pay
and performance has weakened its
bargaining position. Reaching out to
some of its most vocal critics is part
inclusion and part survival.
The NEA has acknowledged that
it must listen to members who want
to participate in the union but were
also concerned that they are not
acting in the interest of students or
elevating the profession of teaching,
says Christopher Eide, executive
director of Teachers United.
This is a step toward keeping
the union alive and relevant, Eide
astutely notes.
The fellowships largest cohorts
are from Washington, Colorado and
Massachusetts, key education-reform
battleground states. Bill Raabe,
senior director of the NEAs Center
for Great Public Schools, says that
is a coincidence. But he notes that
bringing in teachers from reform
states could benet an organization
looking to hear from different voices.
Raabe says that among the ques-
tions the fellows will help the union
explore: What are the things that we
need to do to ensure student learn-
ing? What are the appropriate assess-
ments to measure student learning?
The NEAs strategy has a prec-
edent in Seattle. The election a year
ago of Jonathan Knapp as president
of the Seattle teachers union signaled
a broadening strategy of relationship-
building and compromise.
Just as Seattle became a model
for strong school district-union rela-
tions, the NEAs inclusiveness should
spread to its local afliates.
The Seattle Times
The demand for online learning
among college students continues
to grow unabated. From 2002 to
2011, the industry experienced a
staggering 418-percent increase in
the number of students enrolling in
online courses from 1.6 million to
6.7 million, according
to a report by Inside
Higher Ed. In one year
alone, online learn-
ing grew by 600,000
students between
the 2010 to 2011 fall
semesters.
A lot of the reason
for the healthy growth
in online learning is
the continued develop-
ment of online tools
that facilitate instruc-
tion for academic
classes and interaction among stu-
dent and instructor. Online learning
also appears to meet the needs of the
21st century student by providing
exible scheduling, formatting and
convenience.
As the demand for online pro-
grams continues to grow, though,
drop-out rates at some colleges have
become an increasing concern. It is
debatable whether or not this rapid
growth in online learning will contin-
ue, but what has become clear is that
colleges and universities must devel-
op support mechanisms to ensure
online learners have a better chance
to succeed while also maintaining
the same academic rigor that is pres-
ent in the traditional classroom.
Colleges and universities must
carefully examine the various
support mechanisms available to
students as a key component to
retention, student satisfaction, and
the ability to achieve course and pro-
gram outcomes.
In a survey of 196 institutions con-
ducted by the Blackboard Institute,
support services for online learning
are a critical component to student
success, but they may also by very
different than those provided in a
traditional learning environment.
The survey results revealed a clear
connection between consistent
student services combined with
superior academic content working
hand-in-hand to support student
achievement.
The challenge for an institution
is to develop a comprehensive,
consistent student support services
program that is available around the
clock. Early intervention is impor-
tant and should begin during the
recruiting process well before
the rst day of class. Clear com-
munication of course expectations,
enrollment assistance, advisory
services, nancial aid counseling,
and a complete orientation to institu-
tional policies and to the information
technology system are all critical ele-
ments of a successful online learning
experience.
Engaging student prospects sev-
eral times throughout the application
and enrollment process conveys a
sense of security and begins to build
condence, particularly for those
adult learners who have been away
from school for a number of years.
Once classes start, an advisor
who acts as a counselor and mentor
should be assigned to the student
through graduation. This relation-
ship provides consistency and match-
es the advising services available to
students on the traditional campus
to the online learning. Technical
support is also available at all times,
affording the online learner with the
ability to have live interaction with
a technology staff person so issues
can be quickly resolved. Online
access to library and other research
materials, reference assistance, and
instructions on library use are criti-
cally important to the online learner
as well.
Any discussion about a quality
education begins with a program
that is intended specically to serve
the online student. Misericordia
University has embraced this con-
cept for adult learners who choose
to complete some or all of their
course work online. The academic
excellence and learning support that
is available to traditional students
is present in all online courses. The
result will be increased student satis-
faction, improved retention rates and
successful students.
With more than 1,000 students
projected to take online classes in
2013, it is critically important that
Misericordia University and other
institutions of higher education
serve online learners with the same
set of services and support that are
afforded to the traditional student
population.
Joseph J. Grilli is the director of Corporate
and Institutional Recruitment at Misericordia
University in Dallas, Pa.
YOUR OPINION: LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Make Sterling
a visitors center
The site of the former Hotel
Sterling should be a visitors center
preserving its legacy.
Pictures describing the once-
popular department stores, eateries
and entertainment places can be dis-
played, recalling the way downtown
Wilkes-Barre used to be.
Shopping: the Boston Store,
the Hub, Pomeroys, Isaac Longs,
Peoples Outtting.
Theaters: Comerford, Paramount
Eateries: Boston Candy Kitchen,
The Spa, Percy Browns.
Items such as t-shirts, post cards,
key chains etc. , with pictures of
these places can be sold.
The center could feature a short
video showing the rise and fall of the
Hotel Sterling.
Possibly a museum could be added,
including various artifacts native to
the hotel. Groups theater, dance,
scouts, seniors, etc. could on occa-
sion display their talents.
The history of our center city
should be remembered, not forgot-
ten!
Culture could be added to our
downtown the Hotel Sterling
could rise again, welcoming guests.
Lets call it:
The Sterling Welcome Center.

Thank doctors
for excellent care
I recently required coronary
artery bypass surgery due to several
blocked arteries.
I was rst seen by Dr. Joseph S.
Briskie, a cardiologist, who identi-
ed the issue, and who referred me
to Dr. Michael Harostock, a cardiac
surgeon.
Both physicians, in my opinion, are
the best doctors anyone could ask for.
They were both kind, courteous,
honest, patient, and took the time
from their busy practices to explain
to me and my family the risks vs. ben-
ets involved in this type of surgery.
Neither one rushed me to make a
decision, nor did they push for a par-
ticular hospital.
These two physicians helped give
me another chance at life; for this I
will be forever grateful.
May God bless Dr. Joseph S.
Briskie and Dr. Michael Harostock.

Clark Van Orden | The Times Leader
John Hanger, a Democratic candidate for governor, announces a
proposal that he says will put a college education within reach of
middle class families in Pennsylvania on Monday afternoon during
a stop in Wilkes-Barre.
From page 1A
Hanger
pay back 1.4 percent of their incomes, and
state-related graduates would pay 2.2 percent
back into the fund for 15 years.
State universities include 14 schools such
as Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, Manseld
and Slippery Rock. State-related schools
include Penn State, Temple, Pittsburgh and
Lincoln.
Hanger, who served as secretary of the DEP
during the Gov. Ed Rendell administration,
came to the United States in 1970 and became
a citizen in 1977. He was born in Nairobi,
Kenya, and also lived in Ireland for a time.
Blueprint for future
He said hes come to understand the impor-
tance of an education for all, regardless of
nances, and believes his blueprint could
make a difference for the nations future.
The biggest barrier to higher education
for middle-class families is the high cost of
attending college, said Hanger. This plan
would remove that barrier and assure that
graduates would not be burdened with huge
college loan debts. Since graduates would pay
a percentage of income once they enter the
workforce, if they lost a job or experienced a
reduction in wages, they would pay little dur-
ing hard times.
Of course, if they create the next Google or
become a doctor, lawyer or some other high-
paying career, theyll wind up paying much
more back to the state than they nancially
received. But just giving those students that
opportunity to succeed is what the programs
benets are all about, Hanger, of Hershey,
said.
He said what his program offers is a chance
they might not have otherwise had. He said
Pennsylvania has become a laggard in educa-
tion. We need to become a leader.
$1.5 billion bond
The initiative would rst be funded through
a $1.5 billion bond the state would oat. Then
as the fund begins being sustained with grad-
uates paying their legally agreed upon share,
it should become self-sustaining.
Until the fund becomes self-sustaining, the
average annual taxpayer cost over 20 years
is $200 million. There are multiple ways to
nance the (fund) like continuing the Capital
Stock and Franchise Tax or allocating a por-
tion of a real drilling tax, said Hanger. But
over time, as more and more graduates pay
back into the fund, it will become self-sustain-
ing.
Hanger said his numbers show that wont
be the case for about 22 years. But he said the
state can no longer continue to do nothing but
cut education funding.
We can throw open the door for public
education for every Pennsylvanian, Hanger
said as his rented school bus hes campaign-
ing in drove around Public Square.
THE CANDIDATES
Former Pennsylvania Auditor General
Jack Wagner told the Associated Press on
Monday he is seriously weighing whether to
enter the already crowded 2014 Democratic
race for governor.
If the Pittsburgh resident runs, Wagner
would be the only western Pennsylvanian
in a feld of at least eight candidates vying
for the chance to challenge Republican Gov.
TomCorbetts re-election bid.
The others are:
Former DEP Secretary John Hanger
State Treasurer Rob McCord
U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz
Former DEP Secretary Katie McGinty
TomWolf, a millionaire businessman
Max Myers, a businessman and former
pastor
Lebanon County Commissioner Jo Ellen

degree in business admin-
istration with an account-
ing concentration and has
held several private sector
controller and accounting
positions. She said she is
currently laid off from her
position as a tax accountant
at DeAngelo Brothers Inc.
in Hazleton.
Council will meet at 7
tonight to discuss the appli-
cations and a plan to inter-
view and select someone
to complete Grifths term.
Interested Republicans have
until 4:30 p.m. today to
apply.
A temporary appointee
would be paid $1,406 every
two weeks through Jan. 3.
Councils options
Council Chairman Tim
McGinley said council
may drop the matter if no
Republicans are willing to
interview for the post.
Controllers ofce senior
auditor Patricia Llewellyn
has served as acting control-
ler since Grifths recent
resignation.
The only other potential
applicant who has publicly
expressed an interest in
completing Grifths term
is Alice Coffman, a certied
public accountant who has
owned her own accounting/
tax business Coffman &
Associates in Conyngham
since 1996. Coffman
was undecided last week
and could not be reached
for comment Monday on
whether she will apply.
County Councilman Rick
Morelli, a Republican, said
Medico Olenginskis entry
in the controllers race has
raised questions about how
she would interact with
county Manager Robert
Lawton and council if she is
elected.
Medico Olenginski is the
countys elected prothono-
tary until her term expires
the end of this year, when
the position is permanently
eliminated under home rule.
Lawton instructed Medico
Olenginski to stay home
in September 2012 after
the two disagreed over her
responsibilities under home
rule.
I want someone who will
be a watchdog but not try to
undermine the manager and
council and the entire home
rule government system,
Morelli said.
Medico Olenginski said
she would approach the
ofce with an open mind
but believes opposing views
are healthy for govern-
ment.
My agenda has always
been good government.
Now that we have home
rule, we have to work to
make it the best we can. I
dont want us to have anoth-
er crisis, she said.

center to open next July.
Gene Brady, executive direc-
tor of CEO, said the McGowan
Center will be home to the
Weinberg Regional Food Bank
and will promote healthy eating
by increasing the availability of
nutritious food, including fruits
and vegetables, for free distribu-
tion through a network of food
pantries, soup kitchens and
other non-profit agencies.
Its main mission is to help the
residents, especially children,
of Northeastern Pennsylvania
move from hungry to healthy,
Brady said.
The food bank distributed
more than 4.8 million pounds of
food last year, more than three
times the amount distributed in
its first year of operation. Brady
said more people each year rely
on the food bank to feed them-
selves and their families.

the late William G. McGowan,
whose charitable fund donated
$2 million toward the $6.4 mil-
lion center, said the McGowan
Fund believes that meeting the
immediate nutritional needs of
a vulnerable population will lead
to self-sufficiency.
It is with joy and humility
that we come together to break
ground for this wonderful new
facility, McGowan said. One
of the many accomplishments
of Father Joe (Monsignor
McGowan) was establishing this
Food Bank. We are here today to
celebrate the expansion of their
original facility.
The original food bank opened
in 1993 with an announcement
by Brady joined by Monsignor
McGowan, former Gov. Bob
Casey, Robert Kelly of the
Weinberg Foundation and then
Luzerne County Commissioner
Chairman Frank Crossin. Kelly
and Crossin attended Mondays
press conference, as did Ellen
Casey, wife of the late governor.
Judge Hugh Mundy, chairman
of the CEO board of directors,
opened the festivities.
Developing the center, he said,
was the culmination of years-
long efforts to provide expanded
facilities for the ever-growing
food bank and fulfillment on the
part of CEO and the McGowan
family to provide more nutri-
tious options for eating among
the food bank clients.
McGowan said the values of
her late husband and brother-in-
law led to creating the center.
She said that when completed,
the Center for Healthy Living
will store and distribute healthy
food products for about 80,000
low-income residents of Luzerne,
Lackawanna, Susquehanna and
Wyoming counties, with an
emphasis on children and the
elderly. The center will also pro-
vide nutritional information.
Brady said a community-wide
fundraising effort would soon
begin to garner public support
for the facility.
This is a major financial
undertaking, he said. CEO
cant do it alone, even with only
the considerable assistance of
the people and groups here today.
We need help from the people of
Northeastern Pennsylvania to
finish the job.
Sue Gin McGowan said 20
years ago she and a group of
close friends and family gathered
met to discuss how to honor the
life and values of Bill McGowan,
founder of MCI Corp.
From humble roots right here
in northeastern Pennsylvania,
Bill achieved international busi-
ness success, she said. Leading
our conversation was Bills
brother, Monsignor Andrew
J. McGowan also known
as Father Joe. Bill believed in
the power of education, the
promise of medicine and medi-
cal research, and the urgency
of meeting community needs.
We established The William G
McGowan Charitable Fund to
further these ideals.
McGowan Fund
McGowan said that since
1993, the McGowan Fund has
granted more than $100 million
to viable groups in the areas of
education, health care and medi-
cal research, and basic human
needs.
The Rev. McGowan chaired
The McGowan Fund board until
his death in 2006.
Gert McGowan, Esq., said the
project to build a new center has
been in the works for years.
We are all thrilled to have the
opportunity to see this begin
to come to fruition, she said.
This is great for the McGowan
Foundation, the community
and for those who will benefit
from the center the people
who were so near to my uncles
heart.
McGowan said the Weinberg
Foundation played a key role
in the project and she said she
hopes the two foundations can
continue to work together.
Kelly, whose involvement
with the food bank began two
decades, said the new facility is
five times the size of the original
space we had.
Following uncles lead
Dan McGowan, vice president
of the CEO board of directors,
said he was proud to follow his
uncles legacy.
We see the need growing
every day, he said. Were proud
to be part of taking this step to
provide for future generations.
Brady thanked Mericle for
donating the land valued at $1.2
million; state Sens. Lisa Baker
and John Yudichak for securing
a $1 million government contri-
bution via the Redevelopment
Capital Assistance Program;
Kelly of the Harry & Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation, which
donated $1 million for this proj-
ect; Luzerne County for contrib-
uting $500,000 through a bond
issue.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said
the new food bank will help
Northeastern Pennsylvanians
who are struggling with hunger.
He said CEO and the Weinberg
Foundation deserve praise for
their efforts.
This July, I co-sponsored leg-
islation to provide tax incentives
to encourage businesses and
farms to donate surplus food to
their local food banks, Casey
said. Passing this legislation
can help ensure this food bank
and others in the region have the
resources they need to continue
to help people.
ABOUT CEOS WEINBERG FOOD BANK
The food bank collects donated wholesome food fromthe food
industry, and then works with faith-based and approved non-proft
community organizations to distribute it.
The new50,022-square-foot center will augment the food banks
impact by increasing the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Amulti-purpose meeting roomwith cooking equipment for nutrition
education training.
Ability to store, transport and distribute fresh produce to 138 member
agencies in four counties.
Then and now
18 member agencies in 1996; 138 today.
Just over 1 million pounds of food distributed in 1996; nearly 5 million
pounds today.
36,900 dierent individuals served in 1996; 53,800 in 2011.
In 2008, 30,072 meals were served at 26 locations for children during
the summer; that number grewto 99 locations and 85,410 meals in
2012.
In 2008, 91,029 pounds of fresh produce was distributed; in 2013,
219,643 pounds was distributed.
We are all thrilled to have
the opportunity to see
this begin to come to frui-
tion. This is great for the
McGowan Foundation, the
community and for those
who will benefit from the
center the people who
were so near to my uncles
heart.

ALLENTOWN From the minor-
league baseball club that gave you the
worlds rst urinal gaming systemcomes
a promotion thats more 6 feet under
than it is over the top: One lucky fan
will win a free funeral package.
The Triple A afliate of the
Philadelphia Phillies, the Lehigh Valley
IronPigs, plans to announce the winner
of its latest, and perhaps most bizarre,
fan giveaway at Tuesday nights game
in Allentown.
Minor-league clubs are notorious for
the wacky promotions they run to help
put fans in the seats, and the IronPigs
are no exception. Earlier this year, the
team boasted about the new gaming
system it had installed in mens rest-
rooms at Coca-Cola Park.
But a free funeral? Talk about bury-
ing the competition.
Its one of our best out-of-the-box
promotions. Or maybe I should say one
of our best in-the-box promotions,
quipped IronPigs General Manager
Kurt Landes.
Fans had to submit an essay describ-
ing their ideal funeral and explain why
they deserved a free one. More than 50
essays were turned in.

Out for the season with a bro-
ken leg, Tony Stewart turned to
one of NASCARs most respect-
ed drivers to take over the No.
14.
At 54, Mark Martin is up
for the challenge of taking the
wheel for his good friend.
Hopefully, we can turn the
14 car back over to Tony an
even stronger organization than
what it was when he stepped
away and got injured, Martin
said. Thats the thing that I
really want to work hard to do,
is when its all said and done
with, I hope that they can look
back and say they were glad
that they had me as a part of the
organization.
Martin was released from his
part-time schedule at Michael
Waltrip Racing on Monday and
will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet
in 12 of the nal 13 Sprint Cup
races for Stewart-Haas Racing.
Stewart, a three-time Cup cham-
pion, will miss the rest of the
season while he recovers from

The Philadelphia Inquirer
There is no nameplate out-
side Room 1.20.13 at Citizens
Bank Park, the ofce space
reserved for the Phillies man-
ager. Ryne Sandberg is its
interim tenant in a transition
that will require more than
three days. Sunday was bet-
ter for the 53-year-old Hall of
Famer; his Phillies actually
scored.
Deciding how to evaluate
Sandberg in this seasons twi-
light is one of the nal conun-
drums of 2013. The Phillies
stopped Los Angeles 10-game
winning streak with a 3-2 vic-
tory gifted by two ninth-inning
Hanley Ramirez errors. For one
day, they basked in Sandbergs
accomplishment.
Sandberg is not guaranteed
the job, but his promotion is
probable. The Phillies have
long admired his way with
players, both veteran and
young. Still, his interim post
is a trap for immediate failure.
What if the losing lingers and
the Phillies drop behind Miami
for last place?
Until Sunday, the Dodgers
were 30-0 in their last 50 games
when scoring rst. Michael
Young tapped what could have
been an inning-ending double-
play ball to Ramirez, who
booted it. Casper Wells, who
reached on an earlier Ramirez
error, scored the winning run.
The Phillies sought a fresh
start in Sandberg. Changing
the manager did not alter the
awed roster, which contains
11 players who have spent time
at triple A in 2013.
Beyond wins and losses,
the Phillies will watch how
he interacts with players,
other coaches and the media.
Sandberg, of course, has been
a member of the staff all sea-
son and is familiar with much
of the clubhouse.
Phillies general manager
Ruben Amaro Jr. said it is pos-
sible Sandberg is the sole can-

NEW YORK A lawyer
for Alex Rodriguez declined
Major League Baseballs chal-
lenge to make
public the
drug evidence
that led to
the 211-game
suspension of
the New York
Yankees star.
MLBexecutive vice president
Rob Manfred wrote to lawyer
Joseph Tacopina on Monday,
urging him to waive his clients
condentiality under baseballs
Joint Drug Agreement so the
documents could be released.
Tacopina had said he wanted to
discuss evidence publicly but
was constrained by the provi-
sion.
We will agree to waive those
provisions as they apply to both
Rodriguez and the ofce of
commissioner of baseball with
respect to Rodriguezs entire
history under the program,
including, but not limited to, his
testing history, test results, vio-
lations of the program, and all
information and evidence relat-
ing to Rodriguezs treatment by
Anthony Bosch, Anthony Galea
and Victor Conte, Manfred
wrote in the letter, which was
released by MLB.
Bosch was head of the
Biogenesis of America anti-

uting banned performance-

guilty two years ago to a federal

Injuries, penalties aplenty as Redskins top Steelers
JOSEPHWHITE
AP Sports Writer
LANDOVER, Md. Robert
Grifn IIIs surgeon ended up
tending to Grifns backup.
LeVeon Bell got hurt again.
There were 15 penalties and
seven turnovers, including a
sequence of three giveaways in
ve plays.
What a mess it was when
the Washington Redskins beat
the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-13
Monday night.
Good thing the preseason
doesnt count, except when it
hurts.
Kirk Cousins, the insurance
policy in case Grifn isnt ready
for the Redskins regular-season
opener, sprained his right foot
early in the second quarter.
Bell, the second-round pick
who was supposed to have the
inside track on the up-for-grabs
Steelers running back job, hurt
his right foot in the rst quar-
ter, another injury to go with
the sore left knee that kept him
out of Pittsburghs preseason
opener.
Grifn didnt play, even
though he suited up again in his
yearning to get on his eld as he
makes his way back from recon-
structive right knee surgery.
Hes been cleared by Dr. James
Andrews for practice, but not for
games.
Andrews, owner Dan Snyder
and general manager Bruce
Allen chatted before the game
while Grifn was warming up,
and no doubt a prime topic was
the protocol for determining
whether last years Offensive
Rookie of the Year will be ready
for the regular-season opener
Sept. 9.
Grifn raised eyebrows when
he dressed in full uniform
before the preseason opener
at Tennessee on Aug. 8, even
though he knew he wasnt going
to play. He did the same Monday
night, right down to the bulky
black brace on his right knee.
Earlier, he walked onto the
eld wearing a white T-shirt
with the words OPERATION
PATIENCE, his ad hoc theme
throughout training camp meant
to temper his unhappiness with
coach Mike Shanahans cautious
practice plan.
Cousins started and went 2
for 3 for 19 yards before he got
injured the same way Grifn did
during a game last season
while getting tackled at the end
of a run.
He grabbed his right foot after
being dragged down along the
sideline by linebacker Lawrence
Timmons and was examined by
Andrews before walking to the
locker room.
The Steelers were so anxious
to see what Bell could do that
they gave himthe ball on the rst
four offensive plays of the game.
The ex-Michigan State back
gained 4, 3, 1 and 2 yards, left
the game and never returned.

For The Times Leader
The Battle Of Brandywine certainly lived up to its
billing Saturday night at The Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs.
Sunshine Beach, reined by Brian Sears, raced gigan-
tic as he went down the road and was dead-game in
holding off superstar Captain Treacherous in an unbe-
lievable 1:47.4 thriller. What a duel the two pacers had
down the stretch. It was a race for the ages and just
may have been the best race in the history of Pocono
Downs.
Breeders Crown night cant come soon enough. Its
going to be just an amazing night come Oct. 19.

Nationwide Series driver Austin

and nished 14th.
Martin entered 16 of 23 races
as part of a shared ride in the

Brian Vickers at MWR. Vickers,
who won this season at New

55 Toyota for MWR in 12 of the

scheduled to drive just three more
times. Waltrip will race the No. 55
at Talladega as previously sched-
uled.
Martin has 40 wins and 56 poles
in 870 career Sprint Cup starts.
My motivation for racing is not
for points, its for racing, Martin
said. I want to race, and I want to
nish.
Martin gets his chance after
Stewarts injury cost him his shot
at driving for a fourth champion-
ship. Stewart had one win this
season and was a solid contender
to make the Chase for the Sprint
Championship. Martin will be the
third driver in the No. 14 this sea-
son. Max Papis drove the Toyota
in Stewarts absence at Watkins
Glen. The No. 14 car is 13th in the

Obviously, Im disappointed to
be out, Stewart said in a state-
ment. But the team is in very
good hands with Mark Martin and
Austin Dillon. Mark is someone
Ive looked up to my entire career
and I have a tremendous amount
of respect for him. Austin is a great
young talent, and he showed that
Sunday at Michigan.
Stewart is expected to return
in time for preseason testing in
January 2014.
We expect a full recovery by
Daytona or close to it, said Greg
Zipadelli, competition director at
Stewart-Haas Racing. It may be
able to be done earlier, its just not
worth it. Its a bad break to the leg,
and he needs time to go through
the process of healing, rehabilita-
tion, all those things.
Martins arrival was the only
transaction SHR was ready to
announce on a busy day of musi-
cal seats. Kurt Busch had report-
edly been offered a deal to drive a
fourth car next season for Stewart-
Haas Racing, and is mulling that
offer and others.

LLWS elimination games
JOHN WAWROW
AP Sports Writer
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT
Knox Prestons head turned out
to be ne. And so is the Nashville,
Tenn., players swing.
A day after being cleared by
Little League World Series doc-
tors of any signs of a concus-
sion, Preston played a big role in
Nashvilles 10-0 rout of Newark,
Del., in an elimination game
Monday.
The second baseman singled
and scored the rst run during
a six-run, second-inning rally.
He then sealed it with a two-run
homer in the bottom of the fourth
that invoked the tournaments
10-run mercy rule.
I was really nervous because,
at rst the doctor said he was
really close to saying I had a con-
cussion, said Preston, who land-
ed hard on his head after being
tripped up running to rst base
during a 10-2 win over Corpus
Christi, Texas, on Saturday.
When he told me I was able to
play, I was so happy because I
wouldve hated to just watch my
team and not be able to contrib-
ute at all.
The Southeast champions had
plenty of contributors in avoid-
ing elimination in their second
straight game.
Zane Denton hit a grand slam
in the second inning. Robert
Hassell had a double and RBI
triple.
And just as important, the
shortened game allowed manager
Chris Mercado to save his pitch-
ing as Nashville is still two wins
from having a shot at playing in
the U.S. bracket title game.
Thats how we get out of the
losers bracket, guys. We have
the pitchers to keep them down,
Mercado said. And once we start
hitting, the other teams going to
be in trouble.
Nashville advanced to face
Sammamish, Wash., which hung
on for a 6-5 win over Urbandale,
Iowa, in the late game Monday.
In International bracket elimi-
nation games, Taoyuan, Taiwan,
rallied from a 3-0 decit to pull
out a 6-4 win over San Lorenzo,
Puerto Rico. Taiwan advances
to play Aguadulce, Panama, on
Tuesday. Panama advanced with
a 12-0 win over Ottawa, Ontario.
Against Nashville, Delaware
(1-2) threatened with the bases
loaded in the third before Joseph
Davis struck out looking. Justin
Courter had the lone hit, a single,
for the Mid-Atlantic champions.
After opening the tourna-
ment with a 6-3 win over Iowa,
Delaware dropped a 15-3 decision
to California.
Newark manager John Ludman
had no difculty believing his
players would be ne after their
second lopsided loss.
Theyve gone farther than any
Newark team. They had a great
ride, Ludman said. The kids
know they accomplished a lot.
There were very little expecta-
tions for this team. They really
have been a Cinderella story.
Nashville, by comparison,
suddenly nds itself on a roll
since a series-opening 3-2 loss to
Westport, Conn.
Thats nothing new for a team
thats advanced out of the losers
bracket in each of the qualify-
ing tournaments to reach South
Williamsport. Nashville won the
Southeast title by winning four
straight after losing the opener.
As a result, nerves werent an
issue for Nashville players on
Monday.
I dont think so, Denton said.
Weve been in this same position
like four times.
Washington 6, Iowa 5
Jacob Dahlstrom drove in
two runs on four singles to help
Sammamish win despite squan-
dering a four-run lead.
Dylan Matsuokas two-run sin-
gle in the third inning extended
Sammamishs lead to 4-1. The
Northwest champions added
two more in the sixth before
Urbandale mounted a late threat.
With two out in the Iowas nal
at-bat, Brook Heinen hit a two-
run double to the wall in center,
and then scored on a wild pitch.
Reliever Will Armbruester, how-
ever, ended the game by striking
out Grant Garwood.
Brady Roberts had two singles
and scored once for the Midwest
champions.
Panama 12, Canada 0
Jean Mar Sanchez hit a three-
run homer and drove in four runs,
and Edgardo Rosales and Juan
Crisp combined on a one-hitter
to help Aguadulce stay alive.
Rosales struck out four in 2 2-3
innings, while Crisp struck out
two in 1 1-3 innings of relief.
Panama scored six times in
both the second and third innings.
Rosales started the scoring with a
solo homer before Rafael Eysseric
added a two-run triple. Sanchez
knocked home a run with a single
and Crisp added a two-run single
in the second.
Carmelo Cruz had an RBI
walk, Jean Cornejo hit a two-run
double and Sanchez homered in
the third.
Jack Walsh had the lone hit for
the Canadians.
Panama bounced back from a
13-0 loss to Mexico a day earlier.
We talked to the kids last
night and this afternoon about
just forgetting about that game,
Panama manager Luis Gonzalez
said, through interpreter Gilbert
Monell. There is nothing we can
do nowabout the loss to Mexico.
Shortstop Juan Cornejo was
impressed by how Panama
responded.
That is more like we played
in the regionals, Cornejo said,
through Monell. That is the rst
time weve played that well here
in Williamsport.
Taiwan 6, Puerto Rico 4
Huang Chao-Wei singled home
two runs during a four-run fourth
inning, and Lan Huai-Chein dou-
bled and scored in the fth in the
come-from-behind win.
The Asia-Pacic champions
had a short turnaround follow-
ing a 3-2 loss to Japan in the late
game Sunday night.
Puerto Rico (1-2) threatened
in its nal at-bat, scoring once on
a two-out, bases-loaded walk to
Edgar Baez. But Robert Addarich
bounced out to the pitcher to end
the game.
Puerto Rico starter Leonardo
Lizardi hit four batters into the
fourth inning to tie a one-game
series record set six times.

Sagan wins 1st stage
of USAPro Challenge
The Associated Press
ASPEN, Colo. Peter Sagan
continued his stellar season with
a two-length win and assumed
the lead Monday after the
opening stage of the USA Pro
Challenge.
The 23-year-old Slovak, a four-
time stage winner in the Tour de
France who rides the Italy-based
Cannondale team, completed the
60.6-mile, three-lap circuit in 2
hours and 26 minutes.
I was the peoples favorite,
yes, said Sagan, who has trained
in Colorado for two weeks after
winning the points jersey for the
second time in last months Tour.
But I was very surprised. The
team went to the front for most
of the race. I ride tempo.
Greg Van Avermaet (BMC)
of Belgium nished second and
Kiel Reijnan (UnitedHealthcare)
of the United States was third in
the same time as Sagan.
Sagan, a pre-stage favorite,
secured his 16th stage win this
season and the 54th of his ve-
year pro career.
Since the race does not feature
any bonus times, Sagan, Van
Avermaet and Reijnan have the
same overall time, but Sagan is
the overall leader based on his
stage win.
Sagan was in third approach-
ing the nal corner with about
250 yards left. He moved to the
right and into the lead within the
nal 200 yards and was never
challenged.
Chris Froome (Sky) of Great
Britain, the reigning Tour de
France champion, struggled
on the nal climb and nished
77th nearly 5 minutes behind
Sagan.
DefendingchampionChristian
Van de Velde (Garmin-Sharp) of
the United States placed 24th in
the opening stage and was credit-
ed with the same time as Sagan.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, left, runs with the ball away from Denver Broncos outside line-
backer Von Miller, right, during the first quarter of a preseason game on Aug. 8, in San Francisco.
ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Von
Miller lined up at his usual posi-
tion Monday and ashed the
freakish athletic moves that
might soon be missing from the
Denver Broncos ramshackle
defense.
The All-Pro linebacker
brushed past reporters after
another stellar practice, choos-
ing not to stop and talk about
the latest report that he could
be facing an even longer suspen-
sion that originally thought.
ESPN reported that Miller
might have to sit out at least six
games for violating the leagues
drug abuse policy. Previously, it
was believed Miller was facing a
monthlong suspension to start
the 2013 season.
Miller had repeatedly
expressed condence he was
going to successfully win an
appeal of any pending penalty,
insisting he had done nothing
wrong. Now, Miller is unlikely
to go forward with such an
appeal, which was expected to
be heard Tuesday, ESPN report-
ed.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
told The Associated Press, We
have nothing to report on the
matter, and Millers agent, Joby
Branion, didnt return a phone
call from the AP.
Without denitive word from
the league that a suspension was
forthcoming, the Broncos once
again had Miller line up with
the rest of the No. 1 defense at
practice.
Well, theres really no lat-
est, coach John Fox said after-
ward. We are aware of reports
and sometimes its erroneous
because I think wed probably
nd out before other people.
There is no suspension and
at which time there is, well
report that. But anything else
right now is really just talking
heads.
Miller, who has 30 sacks in
his rst two NFL seasons, is
the fulcrum of coordinator Jack
Del Rios defense, consistently
commanding double teams.
Hes a major reason, along with
Peyton Manning, that odds-
makers favor the Broncos to
represent the AFC in the Super
Bowl.
Miller facing at least
6-game suspension
PHILADELPHIA Teams
that play the Philadelphia Eagles
this season might want to spend
extra time doing cardio work.
Chip Kelly has only shown
ashes of his up-tempo offense
in the rst two preseason games
and defenses already seem tired
and confused while the Eagles
are moving the ball with ease.
Just wait until the games count.
I think we can go a lot faster,
quarterback Michael Vick said.
I see what it does to a defense
and the concepts and things that
we do really puts this team in a
position to succeed, but it has to
be done right.
The combination of Kellys
faster pace with a new, balanced
attack in which the Eagles run
the ball far more than they ever
did under Andy Reid is creating
problems for opponents.
Its so hard for defenses to
get their calls in, because we
are going so fast, running back
LeSean McCoy said. And, we
are keeping teams off balance.
When you run the ball that much,
defenses dont know whats com-
ing. Plus, were so spread out, it
can be a run play that turns into
a pass.
Then theres the fatigue factor.
Defenses, especially the line-
men, are struggling to keep up.
I got tired, Panthers rookie
defensive tackle Star Lotulelei
said after Carolinas 14-9 loss in
Philadelphia last Thursday. Just
got to ght through it, get to the
next play and keep sound funda-
mentals.
The rst-team offense led by
Vick and Nick Foles has four
touchdowns on eight-plus pos-
sessions in two games. One
drive ended with an end-zone
interception and two others
ended with fumbles.
And, its only the preseason.
The Eagles are still learning the
nuances of Kellys system and
working out the kinks. Even the
coaching staff is adjusting to
Kellys way of doing things.
I think we as coaches are
familiar with concepts but of
course how we function as an
offense, there was a lot that I
learned, offensive coordinator
Pat Shurmur said. You know,
I think Ive always felt this, but
I wish I knew now or I wish I
knew 20 years ago what I know
now. I learn something new
every day, and I think if we func-
tion the right way, we have a
chance to do good things.
Inthe preseasonopener against
New England, the Eagles started
at faster-than-normal pace with
Vick and then picked it up when
Foles came in. They went to a
hurry-up, no-huddle offense right
from the start last week against
Carolina with Foles starting and
stayed with it when Vick entered
in the second quarter.
Vick said the Eagles showed
less than one-third of their
playbook vs. the Patriots and it
wasnt much more against the
Panthers. The vanilla approach
is typical in the preseason, but
its clear the Eagles arent run-
ning an ordinary offense.

Indianapolis Colts in East Rutherford, N.J.
TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. The New York Giants
received some good news from
doctors regarding injuries to
wide receiver Victor Cruz and
center David Baas.
Cruz, the Giants leading
receiver the past two seasons,
only bruised his left heel in
the rst quarter of New Yorks
20-12 loss to the Indianapolis
Colts, coach Tom Coughlin said
Monday in a conference call.
Coughlin he doesnt know
when his dynamic playmaker
will return to practice. However,
the injury does not seem seri-
ous.
He probably will not practice
(today), Coughlin said. But
well take that as it comes.
Baas is more of a concern. He
sprained the medial collateral
ligament in his left knee on the
opening series Sunday, and his
status will be gauged on a week-
ly basis. An MCL sprain usually
takes up to six weeks to heal, so
his availability for the season
opener at Dallas on Sept. 8 is
uncertain.
Also, defensive end Justin
Tuck has a mild hamstring inju-
ry and his status is uncertain.
Jim Cordle replaced Baas, but
Coughlin said he is exploring all
options for his line.
Well discuss that, Coughlin
said. There are plenty of oppor-
tunities to play going forward,
whatever decision we make,
youll have Cordle and the other
centers all involved.
Entering his third season,
Cordle has played in 25 games
for the Giants, but he hasnt
started one.
If the coaches decide to
change things up, they can
move left guard Kevin Boothe to
center and then shufe the rest
of the line. They could move
veteran David Diehl from right
tackle to left guard and clear the
way for rst-round draft pick
Justin Pugh to take over at right
tackle.
Pugh missed the preseason
opener against Pittsburgh with
a concussion but he received
his rst NFL action Sunday
night.
Diehl, who struggled last sea-
son at right tackle, had some
problems vs. Indianapolis,
whifng on one block and put-
ting Eli Manning under pres-
sure. Moving him inside takes
away the need for the 32-year-
old to contend with the speed
rush to the outside.
The Giants (1-1) have two
preseason games to gure
things out, starting Saturday
against the New York Jets (1-1).

The Buffalo Bills have released longtime kicker
Rian Lindell (9). The 36-year-old spent the last 10
years in Buffalo and is the most accurate kicker in
Bills history with a field goal percentage of 83.3
percent.
MARK LUDWICZAK
PITTSFORD, N.Y. Buffalos youth
movement continued Monday when
the Bills released longtime kicker Rian
Lindell.
Lindell, the most accurate kicker in
franchise history, was let go after 10
years in Buffalo. His release means that
rookie Dustin Hopkins has won the
teams kicking competition.
Its always tough when you have
to release a player like Rian Lindell,
coach Doug Marrone said. A true pro-
fessional thats obviously been with the
organization for quite some time. And I
have a lot of respect for him.
Lindell leaves Buffalo with a eld
goal percentage of 83.3. He connected
on 225 of 270 eld-goal attempts here.
Lindells status with the Bills had been
in question the past two years. Buffalo
has drafted kickers in each of the past
two drafts, Hopkins and John Potter.
Hopkins, 22, had signicantly more
power on his kicks throughout training
camp than Lindell, 36, who relied more
on his accuracy and consistency from
shorter distances. And Marrone felt
that Hopkins took control of the compe-
tition as camp progressed.
I think in the past 10 days Dustin
has performed better, he said, so we
made a decision to go with Dustin.
Lindell was the longest-tenured Bill
prior to his release. He joined the team
as a free agent in 2003 after spending
his rst three seasons with the Seattle
Seahawks. He had a slow start to his
Bills career, converting 17 of 24 eld
goal attempts his rst year.
But he recovered, and his name is at
or near the top of most Bills kicking
records, as a result. He holds a franchise
record for consecutive PATs (225) and
is second in teams scoring with 980
points.
Bills release longtime kicker Lindell
BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz.
Although Arizona has won its
rst two preseason games, new
coach Bruce Arians is not at
all pleased with the Cardinals
inability to score touchdowns.
The team began the nal
week of its training camp in
the air conditioned comfort of
University of Phoenix Stadium
on Monday.
Red zone woes were a featured
topic. Through two preseason
games, in nine trips inside the
opponents 20, Arizona has one
touchdown.
Arians blamed little things
that are very easily correctable.
And Im tired of seeing
them, he said.
Thats understandable. Arians
is an offensive-minded coach
whose team has scored a total
of 29 points in two preseason
games.
Im disappointed in the red
zone because we talk about pro-
duction time, not possession
time, he said. Possession time
doesnt do anything to me. You
can hold it for 35 minutes, if you
score 15 points you probably got
beat. Its production time, what
you do with the ball when youve
got it.
Arians said he wants his
offense to score a point a min-
ute.
Its a very lofty goal, he said.
We hit it probably three or four
times last year (in Indianapolis)
with a bunch of rookies, and
have hit it a number of times in
Pittsburgh. If youre close, youre
playing pretty good football.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert (11) throws a pass against
the New York Jets on Saturday in East Rutherford, N.J.
MARK LONG
AP Sports Writer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Blaine Gabbert has a starting
job if hes healthy.
Jacksonville Jaguars coach
Gus Bradley named Gabbert his
starting quarterback Monday,
the same day he announced the
former Missouri standout will
miss the rest of the preseason
because of a broken thumb.
Gabbert has a hairline frac-
ture in his right thumb, an inju-
ry sustained during Saturday
nights 37-13 exhibition loss to
the New York Jets.
Gabbert completed 13 of
16 passes for 165 yards and a
touchdown in three series
arguably his best showing in
three years. He banged his hand
on a defenders helmet during
his nal throw.
Gabbert wont need surgery,
but he will wear a protective
brace while the bone heals.
The Jaguars believe he should
be able to return to practice in
two weeks and be ready for the
Sept. 8 opener against Kansas
City.
Normally a break would
require surgery or six to eight
weeks, Bradley said. Its not
the same with this injury. They
feel like in two weeks he should
have a chance to come back and
begin his prep for Kansas City.
The Jaguars insisted all off-
season that Gabbert and Chad
Henne were competing for the
starting job. But many outsiders
believe the scenario was created
to put extra pressure and strain
on Gabbert, and see how he
would respond.
Although Gabbert struggled
at times in practice and did
little in the preseason opener,
his performance Saturday
night was enough to convince
Jacksonvilles coaching staff
that hes the guy.
Bradley doesnt anticipate a
quick change, either.
The reason why we took this
length of time is so that we would
have some conviction and to stay
strong, said Bradley, who was
part of Seattles staff that stuck
with rookie Russell Wilson last
season. Russell, as the quarter-
back in the rst couple of games,
had to go through some learn-
ing and some growing, and that
conviction was in place. I think
it was really good for me to see
how that entire process took
place and the conviction and the
support you need.
Gabbert, the 10th overall pick
in the 2011 draft, is coming off
consecutive seasons in which
Jacksonville had signicant
issues around him. He had no
offseason as a rookie because
of the NFL lockout, was thrown
into the starting lineup in Week
3 and played with one of the
worst receiving corps in the
league. He was expected to
show improvement last year,
but he played behind a patch-
work offensive line and with
two young receivers in Cecil
Shorts III and Justin Blackmon.

Juan Pablo Montoya competes during the NASCAR Sprint Cup race
at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., on Sunday.
JENNA FRYER
APAuto Racing Writer
Michael Andretti is try-
ing to nd a sponsor to
bring Juan Pablo Montoya
back to IndyCar with
Andretti Autosport.
I have talked to Juan
about IndyCar and told
him Hell yeah, lets nd
a way to put something
together, Andretti told
on Monday. Ive driven
against him and I think
hes one of the best drivers
Ive ever driven against. It
just comes down to spon-
sorship. So were looking,
and if its a possibility, we
want to do something with
him.
Andretti only had con-
versations with Montoya
last week after the
Colombian learned from
Chip Ganassi that he
wouldnt be re-signed to
Ganassis NASCAR team
for an eighth season.
Montoya has been out of
open wheel racing since
he left Formula One in
2006 to rejoin Ganassi in
NASCAR, and hes not rul-
ing out any series now that
hes looking for work.
He told AP on Monday
a return to IndyCar isnt
out of the question, but
wouldnt reveal what teams
hes spoken to so far.
Montoya won 11 races
in 1999 and 2000 in CART
driving for Ganassi, includ-
ing the 1999 CART cham-
pionship and the 2000
Indianapolis 500. Montoya
and Andretti raced against
each other those two sea-
sons, with Andretti win-
ning three races in that
span. The two waged one
of the most memorable
battles in series history,
with Montoya coming out
on top as the two nearly
banged wheels racing side-
by-side at 230 mph to the
nish line at Michigan
International Speedway in
2000.
Andretti believes that
Montoyas return to
IndyCar would be a huge
lift for the series.
I think he could bring
what he brought the last
time it seemed like
when he raced, half the
stands were full of ags
supporting him, Andretti
said. When he rst got to
NASCAR, he had a huge
effect there. He brings a
huge crowd, a huge sup-
port. Hes a big personal-
ity, and he could be a good
personality for IndyCar
because he denitely has
that dont give a (crap)
attitude.
Where Montoya ts
into the Andretti lineup
remains to be seen because
the marketing arm is still
working behind the scenes
to nalize the 2014 lineup.
The biggest piece of the
puzzle is James Hinchcliffe,
a three-time IndyCar win-
ner this season and break-
through star in the nal
year of his two-year deal.
Andretti Autosport much
wants Hinchcliffe back, but
an offer is contingent on a
commitment from sponsor
GoDaddy.
While Andretti waits,
Hinchcliffe is currently
free to negotiate with other
teams in the paddock.
Its all going to come
down to GoDaddy and if
they are going to play or
not. They love Hinch, we
love Hinch, but GoDaddy
needs to decide if the
return on their investment
is there or not, Andretti
said. So were just wait-
ing and Hinch is allowed
to be talking to other
teams. Hes not said that
he wants to leave, but
its only fair for him to be
allowed to see whats out
there because we dont
want him to be left with
nothing. Thats not fair to
him, thats not fair to the
series.
Hinchcliffes deal is not
tied to Andretti working
out a deal with Montoya,
he said.
Theres still a possibil-
ity of running ve cars,
Andretti said. I think we
can do it no problem, so
long as we have a properly
funded deal.
The organization is also
still trying to put together
a deal for next season
with Carlos Munoz, the
Colombian who grew up a
Montoya fan and nished
second in the Indianapolis
500 in his IndyCar debut.
He doesnt have a deal yet
in place for 2014 with E.J.
Viso.
We have a lot of irons
in the re, Andretti said.
If a sponsor falls out of
the sky for Juan, then we
dont know what wed do
to make it all work.

BROOKLYN, Mich.
Less than a decade
removed from a champi-
onship in NASCARs top
series, Kurt Busch is an
underdog now.
Its a role he seems
plenty comfortable with.
There are three races
remaining in the regu-
lar season, and Busch
is ninth in the points
standings, meaning he
has a decent shot at a
surprising berth in the
Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Thats quite a step for
the 35-year-old driver
whose career looked
anything but stable as
recently as last year.
Furniture Row team
is acting like a big-time
player right now, Busch
said after nishing third
at Michigan on Sunday.
We have a little bit of
weaknesses here and
there, but overall we keep
posting good results, and
its very satisfying.
Hell have to make his
run at making the Chase
while apparently contem-
plating his future.
Busch has reportedly
been offered a deal to
drive a fourth car next
season for Stewart-Haas
Racing, and is mulling
that offer and others.
The deal, rst reported
late Sunday night by
FoxSports.com, has
not been specically
addressed by either the
driver or Stewart-Haas
Racing.
Stewart-Haas Racing
constantly strives to
improve itself, and expan-
sion is something that is
often discussed, team
spokesman Mike Arning
said in a statement. If
the right opportunity
presents itself, its some-
thing the team will cer-
tainly consider.
Team co-owner Tony
Stewart said last month
the organization was not
ready to expand to four
cars in releasing Ryan
Newman.
Furniture Row Racing
is Buschs third team in
three seasons, a single-
car operation based in
Denver that is hardly a
NASCAR superpower.
His trouble-lled stint
with Phoenix Racing in
2012 was a far cry from
the days when he drove
for the likes of Jack Roush
and Roger Penske.
Busch landed with
Phoenix Racing in
December 2011 after
parting ways from Penske
Racing because of a
series of incidents mainly
related to Buschs temper.
He hoped to rebuild his
image in 2012, but he was
put on probation from an
incident at Darlington in
May he was also ned
$50,000 for reckless driv-
ing on pit road and
he was later suspended a
week for verbally abusing
a media member.
Busch eventually joined
Furniture Row to drive
the No. 78 Chevrolet, and
now the 2004 Cup cham-
pion has been quietly
re-positioning himself
among NASCARs elite.
His race at Michigan on
Sunday was his sixth top-
ve nish of the season,
and he accomplished it
without much drama or
fanfare.
His performance so far
this year speaks for itself,
and Busch is trying to
stay even keeled.
Well, its being
focused. Im excited that
were running well. Were
able to seal the deal,
when that had been some
of our struggles through
the midpoint of the sea-
son, he said. Now Im
just in that Chase mode
where we have to get in.
You cant celebrate with
a third-place nish. You
just have to feel condent
and to know that you can
go back next week and do
it again.
Theres no margin for
error. Busch is in ninth
place, and a top-10 n-
ish would put him in the
Chase but hes only
six points ahead of 11th-
place Kasey Kahne. If
Busch falls out of the top
10, hed be in trouble in
the race for a wild card
because he has no victo-
ries this year.

JIM LITKE
AP Sports Columnist
Most guys in his place
disappear for a while or
else crumple up faster
than a napkin.
Not Alex Rodriguez.
Somehow he still shows
up at the ballpark every
day determined to take
his licks, good and bad.
That should count for
something. So whatever
else is said about A-Rod
and every indication is
that theres still plenty to
come at least acknowl-
edge this much: The man
has guts.
Just for fun, try to come
up with another athlete
who so many people are
hoping will fail.
Rodriguez has more
haters at the moment
than anyone this side of
Lance Armstrong. His
sport wants him gone
and so do most of its
fans. The Yankees want
out from under A-Rods
contract, and even some
of his union brethren and
teammates would pay
good money for the privi-
lege of hitting him with
the door on the way out.
And every time
Rodriguez opens his
mouth, he only makes all
those things worse.
Hes been portrayed as
delusional and a serial
liar who used PEDs to get
where he is. He blamed
a cousin the rst time he
got caught, then report-
edly had someone in his
camp rat out a teammate
and conveniently a
rival to help cover his own
tracks the second time.
Even now, Rodriguez has
yet another mouthpiece
offering new and famil-
iarly cockamamie expla-
nations for why all isnt
as bad as it seems. And
maybe the best thing to be
said about that is that he
wont have to work hard to
convince his client.
With all the other
developments in the
saga, its easy to over-
look that Rodriguezs bat-
ting average is hovering
around .320, and based
on the admittedly scant
evidence of his return
a dozen games ago, his
power numbers and OPS
are lining up nicely with
some of the more pro-
ductive seasons of whats
been a very productive
career. Even more impres-
sive is the way Rodriguez
handled himself Sunday
night in Boston.
Red Sox starting pitch-
er Ryan Dempster set out
to make a statement at
A-Rods expense, throw-
ing the rst pitch behind
him, then plunking him
in the back with the last
one. Dempster denied
doing it on purpose, but
more likely he was bet-
ting there wouldnt be
much in the way of repri-
sals from either A-Rod or
his Yankee teammates, at
least nothing of conse-
quence. He turned out to
be wrong on both counts.
The benches cleared,
Yankee manager Joe
Girardi got tossed,
Rodriguez homered off
Dempster in his next bat
and his team won the
game, managing to turn
A-Rod into a sympathetic
character if only for
one night. And even if
all the talk in the New
York clubhouse after-
ward about climbing back
into the postseason race
seemed a bit premature,
well, at least it provided
his teammates a way to
answer questions about
A-Rod that didnt include:
Should he even be on the
eld?
Of course, that didnt
stop one reporter from
asking A-Rod the same
question about Dempster,
and his answer was price-
less:
Im the wrong guy to
be asking about suspen-
sions, he said, smiling
slyly. Holy mackerel.
A-Rod is probably the
wrong guy to be ask-
ing, too, about how hes
managed to come back
from a serious injury at
the advanced age of 38
and at least for the
time being perform
the way he did at 28, with
the added burden of his
unpopularity and ongoing
legal proceedings weigh-
ing on him.
Rodriguez says its his
faith, while his detrac-
tors suspect its the ben-
et of all that PED use.
And most people believe
that either way, failure
is bound to come crash-
ing down on him soon
enough. A-Rod never
quite ashed the bravado
of Barry Bonds or Roger
Clemens or Armstrong
for that matter, yet its
hard to imagine his story
ending any better than
theirs did.
Still, its hard not see
a guy deantly thumb
his nose at all the people
booing him and marvel at
whatever it is propping
him up.

Some of the contes-
tants took a lighthearted
approach. A fan of movie
Westerns wrote how his
funeral would feature the
William Tell Overture
and a photo of the Lone
Ranger. A woman joked
that she wanted bouncers
to remove mourners who
werent sufciently mourn-
ful.
Others were far more
serious. One fan, recently
diagnosed with ALS, wrote
how his family is watching
his life quickly draining
from my body. No one was
prepared, emotionally or
nancially, for the loss or to
prepare a nal memorial.
The winner of the essay
contest, to be announced
during the sixth inning,
gets a casket, embalming
or cremation, hearse, head-
stone, owers and a funeral
or memorial service, all
valued at nearly $10,000. A
nearby funeral home is the
sponsor.
Lest they be accused
of poor taste, the
IronPigs have opted to
call Tuesday nights give-
away Celebration of Life
Night. Grim reapers and
tombstones are out, angel-
ic music and a release of
doves at home plate in.
It wont become
Halloween, Landes said.

Lawsuit details Brauns eforts to fght drug test
M.L. JOHNSON
MILWAUKEE A former col-
lege classmate sued Ryan Braun,
saying the Brewers slugger sought
his help in ghting a failed drug
test, balked on paying him and
then disparaged him when asked
why their friendship soured.
Ralph Sasson, a Milwaukee law
student, said Brauns agent hired
him in November 2011 to do legal
research aimed at clearing Braun
after the left elder tested positive
for steroid use. The agent later
asked him to investigate the man
who collected Brauns urine, Dino
Laurenzi Jr., and Braun person-
ally asked him to prank call two
journalists working on a story
about the failed test, according
to the lawsuit
led last month
in Milwaukee
County court.
Braun was
the rst baseball
player to success-
fully challenge a
drug-related pen-
alty in a grievance. He accepted
a longer, 65-game suspension last
month amid reports of ties to a
Florida clinic accused of distribut-
ing performance-enhancing drugs
to major leaguers but did not pub-
licly admit using banned drugs.
Sasson said the initial deal called
for him to be paid $2,000 for his
research and $5,000 if Braun was
exonerated. But Braun and his
agent, Onesimo Balelo, balked at
paying him the full amount after a
baseball arbitrator overturned the
left elders 50-game suspension in
February 2012. Sasson eventually
got paid, but he said his relationship
with Braun soured and the baseball
player lied when asked why.
Braun has engaged in advanc-
ing the proposition that the reason
for his falling out with Sasson was
because Sasson had been rude to
staff at Miller Park; Braun had
received word that complaints
had been led due to Sassons
abhorrent behavior; that Sasson
had acted like an ass; and that
Sasson is crazy, the lawsuit says.
It seeks more than $10,000 for
defamation and emotional distress.
This lawsuit is an unfortunate
attempt tocapitalize onRyans recent
press attention for taking responsibil-
ity for his actions, Brauns attorney,
Howard Weitzman, said in an email
to The Associated Press during the
weekend. The factual allegations
are untrue and the legal claims have
absolutely no merit. We believe the
lawsuit will be dismissed.
Weitzman had no further comment
Monday. According to his lawsuit,
Sasson and Braun had been friends
since junior high school and attended
the University of Miami together.
Sasson said Balelo did not mention
Brauns name when he initially hired
Sasson, but Sassonbelievedtheplayer
he was workingtoclear was his friend
because there was no reason other-
wise for an agent of Balelos stature
to call a law student with very little
practical experience.
Sasson said Braun later con-
rmed he was the player who
failed the drug test.
Braun
Bonds, Marion Jones and
others.
Manfred proposed that
both sides disclose infor-
mation and documents
relating to:
All drug tests that
were conducted on
Rodriguez under the pro-
gram and their results;
All prior violations of
the program committed by
Rodriguez, and;
All documents relat-
ing to the issue of whether
Rodriguez obstructed the
ofce of the commission-
ers investigation.
Tacopina, a lawyer with
one of the four rms rep-
resenting Rodriguez, said
the players association
would have to agree to
waive condentiality.
The letter was noth-
ing more than a cheap
publicity stunt, Tacopina
said in a statement. The
letter that was addressed
to my law ofce with the
words Via Hand Delivery
on top was in fact never
delivered to my ofce but
was instead given to the
Today show, which in
and of itself is yet anoth-
er violation of the con-
dentiality clause of the
JDA. They know full well
that they have to address
the letter to the MLBPA
and such a waiver would
require the MLBAPA to
be party of the agree-
ment and signatures. Its
nothing but a theatrical
trap hoping I would sign
knowing that I couldnt
and in fact would have me
breaching the JDA agree-
ment if I did.
The union didnt imme-
diately respond to a
request for comment.

candidate considered. The
front ofce is still talking
about it internally.
Were going to be as
open minded as we can
be, Amaro said.
Arizona manager Kirk
Gibson inherited a simi-
lar situation. He, too, was
53 when he became an
interim manager with the
Diamondbacks. Gibson
was afforded more time;
he managed the nal 83
games of the 2010 season.
His team won 94 games
the next season.
If youre an interim guy,
youre kind of evaluating
and preparing for if you
do get the permanent job,
Gibson said. Then you
can communicate exactly
what you see and what you
think you should do, things
like that. You can be more
prepared to implement it.
[Sandberg will] know
the team better. He should
know the system pretty
good right now. Hes been
in the minor leagues as
well as the major leagues.
I feel like it helped me. The
more games you manage,
the more comfort you kind
of get.
Sandberg was one of
three managers in history
to suffer shutout defeats in
his rst two games, accord-
ing to the Elias Sports
Bureau. Mike Redmond
did it with Miami to start
2013 and it happened to
Jack Chapman in 1876,
when he managed the
Louisville Grays during the
rst season of the National
League.
The Phillies scored
their rst run Sunday
for Sandberg in his 22d
inning as manager. Darin
Ruf smashed a 2-2 Ricky
Nolasco change-up deep
into the left-eld stands
for a solo homer. It was
his eighth home run in 35
games.

Key events this week
will impact markets
With economic data thin on the
ground Monday, nancial markets have
started the week on a subdued note.
But as the focus of attention remains
on whether the U.S. Federal Reserve
will start to reduce its monetary stimu-
lus next month, investors will have a
raft of key events to digest toward the
second half of the week.
Recent economic data and public
statements by Fed policymakers have
led investors to conclude that the Fed
will begin winding down its $85 billion
a month in asset purchases as early as
September. The policy, which is intend-
ed to lower interest rates to shore up the
U.S. recovery, has also been credited for
boosting stocks over the past few years
as investors look for better returns than
have existed in bond markets.
Samsung has a
Mega smartphone
With a screen measuring 6.3 inches
diagonally, the Galaxy Mega is almost
as big as a 7-inch tablet computer. The
difference: It makes phone calls.
Samsung says the Mega is a hybrid
that combines the portability of a smart-
phone with the immersive experience
that a tablet offers for movies, books,
music and games. Phones of this size
are typically referred to as phablets.
Samsung Electronics Co. is known
for big phones. Its agship Galaxy S4 is
5 inches, while the Galaxy Note 2 is 5.5
inches. Apples iPhone 5 is 4 inches.
AT&T Inc. says it will start selling
the Mega on Friday for $150 with a
two-year service contract. The Mega
is also coming to Sprint and U.S.
Cellular. Dates and prices werent avail-
able for those carriers.
Amnesty program
coming to an end
The Department of Labor &
Industry reminds Pennsylvanians that
after the unemployment compensa-
tion amnesty program concludes in
two weeks, those who still owe over-
payments to the UC fund will lose
discounts on interest and penalties
accrued and face possible prosecution.
The program began June 1. Claimants
who have received more UC benets
than they were entitled to and employ-
ers who have not made mandatory tax
contributions to the UC Trust Fund have
until midnight Aug. 31 to make it right.
More than 130,000 individual claim-
ants and nearly 50,000 employers
received letters advising them of the
amnesty program, how much they
owe, and how to pay it back. Those
with outstanding UC payments are
encouraged to visit the UC Amnesty
Program website, makeitright.pa.gov.

NEW YORK In a warren of
ofces at a former bank building
near Madison Square Garden, dozens
of journalists are at work on gleam-
ing new electronic equipment, ready
to turn their test runs of Al-Jazeera
America into the real thing.
The Qatar-based news organization
will nally establish a rm foothold on
American television today after a decade
of trying. At 3 p.m., Al Gores former
Current TV will turn out the lights in
more than45millionTVhomes, replaced
by the new U.S. afliate of Al-Jazeera.
The network has hired many veter-
ans of U.S. television, including John
Seigenthaler, Joie Chen, Antonio Mora
and Sheila MacVicar, and is promising
a meaty diet of news that it believes
will contrast with the opinionated talk
that dominates American news net-
works.
Were breaking in with something
that we think is unique and are con-
dent, with our guts and some research,
that the American people are looking
for, said Kate OBrian, the former
ABC News executive who is now
Al-Jazeera Americas president.
The dozens of at-screen TVs and
occupied desks scattered around mar-
ble pillars in AJAs New York ofce
indicate this is no cheap startup. And
this is temporary; the network is look-
ing for a larger ofce in New York but
wanted to start quickly after buying
out Current in January.
Until Al-Jazeera America revealed a
prime-time schedule last week, there
were few indications of what the net-
work would look like. Scheduled shows
include a nightly newscast anchored by
Seigenthaler, a newsmagazine hosted
by Chen, a news talk show with Mora
and a business program starring Ali
Velshi.
Its still not clear what will be shown
in the mornings and whether much of
the broadcast day will be devoted to
documentary-style programming or
live news.
With its domestic bureaus, AJA will
seek out stories beyond the towers of
New York and government buildings in
Washington, said Ehab Al Shihabi, the
networks interim CEO. Besides those
two cities, bureaus are located in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Detroit,
Chicago, Denver, Miami, Seattle,
Nashville, Tenn., and New Orleans.
Al-Jazeera is well-established over-
seas, and the American network will
take advantage of its 70 bureaus.
But executives have been careful to
stress that AJA will be geared toward
American tastes. They have a careful
line to walk: Al-Jazeera doesnt want
to remind Americans of when Bush
administration ofcials questioned its
independence in the months after the
terrorist attacks, and the years when
American cable operators wanted
nothing to do it.
Al-Jazeera America prepares for launch today

LONG BEACH, Calif. The latest
experiment in American journalism
is a throwback: a new daily newspa-
per to compete against an established
one in a big city.
With Mondays debut of the Long
Beach Register, the ambitious own-
ers of the Orange County Register are
expanding their bet that consumers
will reward an investment in news
inked on paper and delivered to their
doorsteps.
The competition is the Long Beach
Press-Telegram, which was founded
more than a century ago and main-
tains an average weekday circulation
of about 55,000.
As a result of the budding newspa-
per battle, this city of 468,000 is join-
ing the likes of Chicago, Philadelphia
and Boston as what has become a
rarity in 21st century America the
two newspaper town. Never mind
shrinking circulations and online
news migration.
We believe that a city with the size
and vibrancy of Long Beach should be
happy to support a great newspaper of
the variety we want to provide, said
Aaron Kushner, who since buying the
Orange County Register a year ago
with a partner has surprised indus-
try watchers by expanding reporting
staff and page counts. If it is, well
make healthy money. If its not, thatll
be unfortunate for everyone. But we
believe well be successful.
By launching the Long Beach
Register, Kushner, publisher of
the Register and CEO of Freedom
Communications, is taking his con-
trarian instincts outside of Orange
County.
Media business analyst Rick
Edmonds said the last time he can
recall a major U.S. city adding a new
daily paper was around World War
II, when Chicago got the Sun-Times
and New York got Newsday. There
have been scattered other instances
in smaller cities, including Wilkes-
Barre, but since newspapers entered
their recent troubles, the creation of
a new rivalry is itself news. A brew-
ing newspaper war in New Orleans
between that citys Times-Picayune
and a challenger based about 80 miles
away in Baton Rouge, La., is the clos-
est to whats unfolding in Long Beach.
How will it play out? asked
Edmonds, of the Poynter Institute,
a journalism foundation in St.
Petersburg, Fla. Dont really know
until it happens.
After a round of introductions,
editor Paul Eakins told his staff that
with at least 16 pages to ll each day,
the paper would both cover hyperlo-
cal news and welcome contributions
from readers. In all, the paper has
about 20 editorial employees.
Write about a boy becoming an
Eagle Scout? Yes. Opening of the new
dog park? You bet.
I dont think they quite knowwhats
coming, Eakins said of readers.
The plan Monday was to distribute
10,000 copies, publisher Ian Lamont
said. It will be wrapped around the
Orange County Register, so readers
will get coverage of Long Beachs
schools, sports, courts, happenings
and City Hall plus news from
around the region and world. There
will be no separate Long Beach paper
on weekends.
Several reporters at the Long Beach
Register are Press-Telegram alums,
and though Eakins downplayed any
rivalry, at the staff meeting there
were gentle jabs about besting an old
employer.
For their part, the Press-Telegrams
bosses are giving no ground.
Were not going to let a competi-
tor come into our city and take it,
said Michael A. Anastasi, vice presi-
dent of news and executive editor of
the Los Angeles News Group, which
owns the Press-Telegram and eight
other daily papers in the area.
The competitions certain winners,
Anastasi said, will be local residents.
Despite odds, Calif. city becomes 2 paper town

SEATTLE Washington already
has the nations highest state minimum
wage at $9.19 an hour. Now, theres a
push in Seattle, at least, to make it $15.
That would mean fast food workers,
retail clerks, baristas and other mini-
mum wage workers would get what
protesters demanded when they shut
down a handful of city restaurants in
May and others called for when they
demonstrated nationwide in July.
So far, the City Council and mayoral
candidates have said theyd consider it
in the famously liberal city. One said,
however, that it may not be soon.
Venture capitalist Nick Hanauer
said theres no time to waste. What
the nation needs is money in the hands
of regular consumers. A higher mini-
mum wage is a very simple and elegant
solution to the death spiral of falling
demand that is the signature feature of
our economy, he said.
Some businesses advocates say a
higher minimum wage will make it
harder for companies in Seattle to sur-
vive. They cite Walmart, which has all
but refused to accept a Washington,
D.C., decision to raise the minimum
wage to $12.50 an hour in big box
stores.
A higher minimum wage eliminates
low wage jobs because thats how small
businesses cut costs and that ends up
hurting the people it was supposed to
benet, according to the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce.
More than 15 million workers earn
the national minimum wage, making
about $15,080 a year $50 below the
federal poverty line for a family of two.
San Francisco currently has the high-
est minimum wage for all workers at
$10.50 an hour.
Economist Chris Benner of the
University of California at Davis does
not agree that a higher minimum wage
would lead to job losses.
Benner also doubts a higher mini-
mum wage would affect prices enough
to scare away consumers. His research
has shown that even a large increase in
wages, like the proposal in Seattle, has
only a 4 to 5 percent effect on prices.
City Council member Nick Licata
doesnt expect the issue to get any of-
cial traction soon. One of the councils
most liberal members, he said there are
other issues the council should tackle
to help low-wage workers, including
wage theft and affordable housing.

Should you puf at a higher premium?
Amajorityof Americans thinkits OKtocharge
higher health-insurancerates tosmokers but
not tooverweight people, accordingtoarecent
Galluppoll.
That mayhavesomethingtodowiththe
fact that amajorityof Americans areindeed
overweight, whileonly1 in5adults are
smokers. But theattitudehas implications
for health-planpolicydesigns goingforward,
especiallyintheAfordableCareAct era.
Thefederal health-careoverhaul gives states
theoptionof allowinginsurers that participate
intheonlinehealth-careexchanges tocharge
higher premiums tosmokers upto50
percent higher thanthestandardrate. At least
fvestates andWashington, D.C., havesaidthey
wont allowinsurers tochargehigher rates to
smokers. Pennsylvaniais not oneof them.
The eight insurers selling polices in
Pennsylvania come October Highmark,
Capital BlueCross, Independence Blue Cross,
Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
UPMCHealth Plan, Geisinger Health System,
Aetna Inc. and HealthAmerica can charge
more to smokers, a move meant to account
for the increased risk and expense of covering
smokers health claims.
Its a move opposed by some odd bedfellows,
such as the countys top cigarette makers
as well as theAmerican Cancer Society.
Advocates for the poor and minorities
also say the smokers surcharge is unfair,
as it disproportionately will afect those
populations because they are more likely
to smoke and less likely to have employer-
provided health insurance.
And higher premiums could discourage
smokers frombuying insurance the
opposite of the intended efect of the
exchanges. (Pennsylvanias smoking rate is
slightly higher than the national average).
We dont want to create more barriers to
quitting,said Dianne Phillips, state policy
director for the cancer societys Cancer
Action Network.Making it more expensive
(might) put that insurance coverage out of
their reach.
Insurers say the extra charges make sense
froma risk-management standpoint.
Smokers will more or less be on the honor
systemwhen buying the insurance policies
theres no blood test to determine whether an
applicant is indeeda regular smoker. However,
if the insurance company later fnds out that
an applicant is a smoker but lied about it on
the application, it can retroactively apply
the extra premiumand continue to charge it
going forward.
It cant cancel the policy, though.
According to the Gallup poll, 58percent of
those surveyedwould be in favor of charging
higher insurance rates to smokers, but only
41 percent would agree the overweight should
be charged more.
TheAfordable CareAct does not allow
insurers to charge higher premiums to
overweight customers.

Little Everett Andrew
Pisano arrived early, his
birth induced at 34 weeks
as part of a plan to return
his mother to good physi-
cal health.
But his parents, Tara
and Christopher Pisano
of Shavertown, say the
baby is improving their
emotional health as well.
Denitely busier, hap-
pier, Tara said, reecting
on how life has changed
since Everett Andrew was
born on July 19. He de-
nitely cheers me up. He
keeps my mind off whats
coming.
Taras coming ordeal is
a round of chemotherapy
to combat her recently
diagnosed acute myeloid
leukemia, which is a
blood cancer.
After that, the young
mother will receive a
stem-cell transplant
from her sister, Deanna
Hustey, to be followed by
more chemotherapy.
Theres a lot of encour-
aging news in this story,
including the fact that
Hustey, 26, is a 100 per-
cent match for her sister,
who just turned 28, and
that Dr. David Claxton,
a hematologist/oncolo-
gist at Hershey Medical
Center, has predicted a
90 percent chance Tara
will be alive ve years
from now.
But Tara, already a can-
cer survivor, had hoped
her rst bout with the
disease would be her last.
I had a hard time get-
ting my head to a good
place this time, said
Tara, who was treated
in 2011 for Ewings
Sarcoma, which usually
affects bones but was
found in her kidney. I
thought Id had my share
of trouble for a while.
Im torn between
never wanting (the new
treatments) to start, and
wanting to get them over
with so I can get back
to enjoying my life, she
said.
For Tara, a 2007 gradu-
ate of Kings College and
2012 MBA graduate of
Misericordia University,
her enjoyable life has
included working as a
senior accountant for
Luzerne Intermediate
Unit 18, cooking and
taking walks with her
husband of six years,
Christopher, whom she
met when they were both
students at Bishop Hoban
High School in Wilkes-
Barre.
Actually, we met
before that, when we
were babies, but we
didnt know it, Tara said
with a gentle laugh. His
cousins grandmother and
my grandmother were
best friends, so we ended
up at the same birthday
party. His mother was
showing me baby pic-
tures and there we were,
sitting in two high chairs
at a McDonalds. I told
her, That (other) baby is
me.
Tara and Christopher
got married in September
2007 and hoped to start
a family, but the Ewings

early in 2011, interfered.

The Miami Herald
MIAMI Carole
Shearn isnt quite sure
when she will lose the
ability to speak, but she
is sure of one thing: Her
voice will still be heard,
even when the words can
no longer be spoken from
her lips.
The 70-year-old West
Palm Beach, Fla., resi-
dent learned she had
ALS, also known as
Lou Gehrigs disease,
in october. Her form of
ALS weakens the throat
muscles first.
The progressive dis-
ease has no cure, but
at the University of
Miami Miller School of
Medicines Department
of otolaryngology,
Shearn is the first patient
to take part in voice
banking a program
where patients who
eventually will lose their
voice due to diseases
such as Parkinsons, ALS
and cancer can record
key words, phrases and
personalized messages
to communicate when
speaking is no longer an
option.
Shearn uses Tobii
Assistive Technology, a
speech-generating device
that stores her record-
ings into categories. She
can then use a mouse,
touch the screen or even
use her eyes to retrieve
the sound files.
In case of an emergen-
cy, Shearn has even pro-
grammed a message say-
ing get help immediate-
ly and call 911. Tobii,
which is compatible with
Bluetooth technology,
will call for her.
Truthfully, I was so
amazed when I found
out about the Tobii,
she said. It makes me
feel good that I can per-
sonalize my messages to
whomever. It is my life-
line.
ALS is a neurode-
generative disease that
attacks the motor neu-
rons. As the disease pro-
gresses, these neurons
begin to degenerate and
stop sending messages
to muscles. Eventually,
individuals diagnosed
with the disease lose the
ability to move their legs,
arms and body.
According to the
national Institute of
neurological Disorders
and Stroke, 20,000 to
30,000 people are living
with ALS in the United
States. The average lifes-
pan for a person with
ALS is three to five years.
Because ALS patients
lose strength and move-
ment in their limbs, Tobii
has a built-in eye tracker.
Shearn can sit in front
of the device without
moving any part of her
body but her eyes and
still communicate effec-
tively.
Jocelyn odlum, a
speech pathologist at the
University of Miami, met
Shearn at an ALS sup-
port group in West Palm
Beach and then began
seeing her at the clinic.
After evaluating Shearn,
she got her started on
voice banking. Shearn
has been recording her
voice every day for the
past two months.
Carole is an inspira-
tion, odlum said. She
took this disease and is
doing everything she pos-
sibly can to be prepared.
odlum says that once
individuals learn they
have ALS, they should
see a speech pathologist
immediately so they can
be introduced to these
devices and helped.
Unfortunately by the
time people come to see
me they have no voice,
she said.
Shearn has record-
ed basic phrases such
as Hello. My name is
Carole, and How was
work? But, she also
has recorded some of
her other favorite phras-

Carole shearn, 70, is losing the
ability to speak due to having
als. The retired teacher, who
lives in West Palm Beach, has a
way to preserve her voice via an
eye-gaze technology that per-
mits shearn to bank her voice
using spoken phrases, which
then transfer to a Tobii system.

Newtool peeks into brain to measure consciousness
LAURAN NEERGAARD
AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON
When people have a brain
injury so severe they
cant squeeze a loved
ones hand or otherwise
respond, there are few
good ways to tell if they
have any lingering aware-
ness or are in a vegeta-
tive state. Now research-
ers have created a tool to
peek inside the brain and
measure varying levels of
consciousness.
The work is highly
experimental, not ready
for bedside use yet and
if it pans out, a big ques-
tion is how to use it with-
out raising false hope.
No one knows what
level of consciousness at a
certain point after injury
really predicts recovery.
But it offers the hope
that one day doctors
might track conscious-
ness nearly as easily as
they check blood pres-
sure.
Consciousness can
grow and shrink, said
Dr. Marcello Massimini,
a neurophysiologist at
Italys University of Milan
who led the research to
quantify just how much
that is happening under
different circumstances.
It seems obvious
consciousness fades dur-
ing deep sleep, and doc-
tors can slip us under
with anesthesia. Yet
scientists dont have a
good way to measure
consciousness, especially
when the very ill appear
to be unconscious. Its
important to try to dis-
tinguish if patients are
at least minimally con-
scious, and not in a veg-
etative state, because the
sooner theres some sign
of awareness, the better
the chance of recovery.
Today, doctors check
if those patients can
do things like blink or
move a limb on com-
mand, or react to touch
or pain. If not, scans
of the brains electrical
activity may offer clues.
Scientists even have put
seemingly unconscious
patients inside MRI scan-
ners and told them to
imagine throwing a ball.
How the brain reacts can
indicate if theyre aware
and just cant show it,
whats called locked-in
syndrome.
But all these tests have
drawbacks.
The new work, report-
ed in the journal Science
Translational Medicine,
aims for an easier, more
objective measure. Its
based on the theory that
consciousness depends
on the complexity of
activity in the brain, how
well different regions con-
nect and process informa-
tion. For example, when
youre deeply asleep, the
neighbors car alarm may
not wake you but your
brain still processes that
you heard it. When youre
wide awake, it also pro-
cesses how annoying the
alarm is and how often it
goes off.
Massiminis team com-
bined two well-known
medical devices.
First, a coil delivers a
powerful pulse of magne-
tism that travels through
the skull to stimulate the
brain, essentially knock-
ing on it to say wake
up.
Then an EEG, which
measures brain waves
through electrodes
attached to the scalp,
records the patterns of
activity as neurons re in
response.
The nal trick: The
researchers created a for-
mula to compare the com-
plexity of those resulting
brain patterns by zip-
ping them, like digital
les are compressed so
they can be emailed.
They called the resulting
numerical measurement
the PCI, or pertubational
complexity index.
The team compared
tests from 32 healthy
people who were awake,
asleep, dreaming or anes-
thetized, and 20 people
with a variety of serious
brain injuries. The two
patients with locked-in
syndrome clearly were
aware, scoring nearly as
high as awake and healthy
people, they reported. The
patients in a diagnosed
vegetative state had scores
as low as people rendered
unconscious by the most
powerful anesthesia. The
minimally conscious were
somewhere in-between.
The strategy could
miss consciousness, so
it wouldnt give doc-
tors enough information
for end-of-life decisions,
researchers caution.
But its a pioneering
study that offers highly
promising leads, said Dr.
Nicholas Schiff, a profes-
sor of neurology and neu-
roscience at Weill Cornell
Medical College in New
York, who wasnt part of
the project.
If its ultimately prov-
en to work, the bigger
impact could be in help-
ing doctors study whether
patients improve when
given different treat-
ments, added Dr. Lori
Shutter, a brain inten-
sive-care specialist at the
University of Pittsburgh,
who also wasnt involved
with Wednesdays work.
But she cautioned that
just nding a glimmer of
consciousness could mis-
lead families hoping for a
miracle long after the pos-
sibility for improvement is
over.
This may provide a
lot of insight, Shutter
said. The downside is
once you prove theres any
consciousness, how will a
family react?
Whats up butter-
cup?, Whats new, super
glue?, and You snooze.
Voice
From page 1C
MCT Photo
Carole Shearn types in new phrases on her iPad before recording
them; the phrases will be transferred to a program that will play
them aloud in Shearns own voice. Shearn, 70, is losing the ability
to speak due to having ALS.
You lose.
When Shearn was ini-
tially diagnosed, she had
absolutely no idea what
ALS was.
She also didnt know
the disease does not have
a cure.
That was very hard
to hear, she said. I
had tears in my eyes, of
course, and I asked how
long I would have to live.
And my doctor said he
didnt know, three to five
years, so we left the office
on that.
Shearns daughter,
Jennifer Wagner, had been
suspicious of the early
symptoms she had been
noticing: slurred speech
and choking spells, even
when her mother wasnt
eating.
She researched her
mothers symptoms and
learned about ALS.
It was very daunting
and difficult to read,
she said. I had a pretty
good idea of what the
disease was and what it
was going to entail, and
I didnt want my mom to
go through that.
Although Shearn can
still drive and walk
without any assistance,
Wagner drives her moth-
er from West Palm Beach
to the university.
She also started an
open Facebook page
called Caroles Crusade,
where people can become
more aware about the dis-
ease and follow her moth-
ers progression.
I know that I can-
not cure the disease, so
my main goal is to bring
attention to it, she said.
For Shearn, keeping
a positive mindset has
helped her cope with the
disease, but she acknowl-
edges that she is not as
hopeful and optimistic
as she was eight months
ago because she notices
herself getting a little
worse.
I was certain I was
going to live past 90, she
said. I would still like
to.
But if she doesnt,
Shearn says, she believes
that she has done every-
thing she has wanted to
do: traveled to Rome,
Alaska, Paris, England,
Italy, Spain and the tip of
Africa, been surrounded
by good people and had a
successful 36-year teach-
ing career.
My life has always
been about people, so I
dont crave a lot of out-
side influence, she said.
Our family is small, but
we are tight. That has
always been everything to
me. I feel my life has been
blessed.
My life has always been about people,
so I dont crave a lot of outside influence.
Our family is small, but we are tight. That
has always been everything to me. I feel
my life has been blessed.

Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I.
If youve enjoyed the
works of Stephen King,
seen the lms Alien or
Prometheus, or heard
about the ctional Arkham
Asylum in Batman, thank
H.P. Lovecraft, the early
20th century horror writer
whose work has been an
inspiration to others for
nearly a century.
Themythos Lovecraft cre-
ated in stories such as The
Call of Cthulhu, The Case
of Charles Dexter Ward
and At the Mountains of
Madness, has reached its
tentacles deep into popu-
lar culture, so much that
his creations and the works
they inspired may be better
known than the Providence
writer himself.
Lovecrafts fans want to
give the writer his due,
and this month are holding
what they say is the larg-
est celebration ever of his
work and inuence.
Its billed the
NecronomiCon, named
after a Lovecraft creation:
a book that was so dark
and terrible that a person
could barely read a few
pages before going insane.
The Aug. 22-25 con-
vention is being held in
Providence, where he
lived and died poor and
obscure at age 46 in
1937.
HowardPhillips Lovecraft
was born in 1890.
His parents both died
in an insane asylum, his
father when Lovecraft was
just 8 years old, said S.T.
Joshi, who has written a
biography of Lovecraft and
edited several collections
of his work.
He attended just three
years of high school, leav-
ing because of a nervous
breakdown, Joshi said.
Besides a brief and
unhappy marriage that
took him to New York from
1924 to 1926, Lovecraft
lived his whole life on
Providences East Side,
close to Brown University.
He wrote his most sig-
nicant work after return-
ing to Providence, publish-
ing many of his stories in
the magazine Weird Tales.
He barely scraped
together a living, but devel-
oped a wide network with
fellow writers through
letters, and wrote an esti-
mated 80,000 of them in
his lifetime.
Lovecraft said several
times he could not live
anywhere but Providence,
a sentiment reected in
the gravestone his fans put
up decades after his death:
I AM PROVIDENCE, a
line they took from letters
he wrote.
The grave in a city cem-
etery is often visited today
by fans, who leave trinkets
or notes behind.
He was a fan of Edgar
Allan Poe, a master of
psychological horror, but
Lovecraft tackled different
themes.
He combined horror
with science ction and
developed what is com-
monly referred to as cos-
micism, the idea that man
is inconsequential in the
universe, that there are
forces that defy human
understanding in the cos-
mos, represented by gods
or creatures who are far
more powerful than us but
also indifferent to us.
To them, we are like ants
or specks of dust. When
we get in their way, we will
be destroyed.
A lot of these creatures
have bafing physical prop-
erties that dont t into our
perceptions of natural law.
For him the most terrify-
ing thing that could happen
is to defy our understand-
ing of the known laws of
physics, Joshi said.
His most famous crea-
ture is Cthulhu (commonly
pronounced kuh-THOO-
loo).
A pulpy, tentacled head
surmounted a grotesque
and scaly body with rudi-
mentary wings, Lovecraft
writes.
He likens it simultane-
ously to an octopus, drag-
on, and human caricature.
In The Shadow Over
Innsmouth, he writes of
a race of creatures that are
a cross between sh, frogs
and man. The story inspired
a Metallica song, The
Thing That Should Not Be.
Lovecrafts writing is
detailed and dense.
Youre not going to pick
up a Lovecraft novel and
just breeze through it,
acknowledges Lovecraft
fan Anthony Teth, who is
helping to organize the
conference.
He weaves in historical
and architectural refer-
ences throughout his sto-
ries, many of which are set
in his beloved hometown
or other spots he visited
in New England, such as
Salem, Mass., (Arkham)
and Newburyport, Mass.
(Innsmouth).
In Providence, most of
the buildings he wrote
about are still standing,
said Niels Hobbs, 43,
a marine biologist who
among those organizing
the conference.
When you walk the
streets of Providence,
especially College Hill, his
old neighborhood, you can
see Lovecrafts Providence.
Its simply everywhere, he
said.
Even so, many
Providence residents have
no idea of Lovecrafts con-
nection with the city and
his importance in litera-
ture.
There are no Lovecraft
museums or prominent
markers in the city.
His fans hope to change
that with this weeks
conference, which will
include walking tours of
Lovecrafts old haunts,
the unveiling of a new
Lovecraft bust at one of
his favorite old haunts, the
Providence Athenaeum,
and panel discussions on
Lovecrafts work, even the
NecronomiCon to celebrate horror writer Lovecraft
Howard Phillips Lovecraft
When you walk the streets of Providence,
especially College Hill, his old neighborhood,
you can see Lovecrafts Providence. Its
simply everywhere.
Niels Hobbs,
conference organizer
negative aspects.
He was steeped in the
past and suspicious of
change, and like some of
his contemporaries was
racist and anti-immigrant,
themes reected in his sto-
ries including The Shadow
Over Innsmouth.
In recent years, appre-
ciation for Lovecraft has
grown worldwide.
There have been lm
festivals on the West Coast
of Lovecraft-themed mov-
ies and conferences in
places such as Arizona
and Vermont, and people
come from all over the
world to visit his grave.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com HEALTH Tuesday, August 20, 2013 PAGE 5C
I thought Id had my share of trouble for a while. Im torn between
never wanting (the new treatments) to start, and wanting to get
them over with so I can get back to enjoying my life.
Tara Hustey Pisano,
Shavertown
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
Tara and Christopher Pisano talk about the challenges that lie ahead.
which usually affects ado-
lescents, she hoped she
was in remission for good.
She wanted to start a
family, but doctors told
her it might be impos-
sible for her to get preg-
nant, at least for a while,
because her body might
not bounce back. So she
and Christopher were sur-
prised, and pleased, when
they learned Everett was
on the way.
The pregnancy seemed
to be progressing well until
the 20th week, when Tara
began to feel anemic.
I knew what anemia felt
like, she said, because Id
had it before, during che-
motherapy.
During a checkup with
Kingston oncologist Dr.
David Greenwald, she said
she thought she might
have an iron deciency.
That turned out not to be
the case. It wasnt a de-
ciency of folate or vitamin
B12, either.
When they did the
bone marrow biopsy, I
was thinking nothing bad
would come back from
it, she said. I thought Id
done my time.
But the biopsy did indi-
cate myelodysplastic syn-
drome, which is character-
ized by an overabundance
of immature white blood
cells, also known as blasts,
in a persons bone marrow.
The condition soon pro-
gressed to acute myeloid
leukemia.
In her case, Tara said,
the leukemia is therapy-
induced, which means she
has it because of the che-
motherapy drugs she took
for the Ewings sarcoma.
They give you these
huge packets for each che-
motherapy drug you get,
and each one has pages
and pages of side effects,
she said. One of those side
effects was a 1 percent
chance of getting this kind
of cancer.
Tara was upset. She was
angry. She cried.
Then she became deter-
mined to ght.
I always visualize how
Ill feel when I get my life
put back to normal, she
said.
During these few weeks
of recovery from child-
birth, before the treat-
ments start, Christopher
and Tara are enjoying the
normalcy of everyday child
care. Were obsessed,
Tara said. We both want
to change the diapers.
She also expects to
enjoy serving as her sis-
ters matron of honor when
Deanna Hustey gets mar-
riedat the endof this month.
The sisters grew up in
South Wilkes-Barre, forg-
ing a close bond as they
played with Barbies, rode
bicycles together, and even
lmed home movies with
their dolls as the stars.
I always told her what
they would say, Tara said
with a big-sister smile. I
was the boss.
In a telephone inter-
view, Hustey said she is
happy to be able to donate
Pisano
From page 1C
stem cells, a process she
described as no more tax-
ing than donating blood,
but something she hopes
will give her sister many
healthy years to watch
Everett grow up.
When I rst saw him,
she said of her nephew, I
felt this incredible love. It
was just overwhelming.
The babys parents feel
that way, even more so,
and call Everett a miracle
because, if Tara hadnt
been pregnant and feel-
ing weak, they believe the
second cancer might have
progressed further before
it was discovered.
Its hard not to worry.
I dont think I spend ve
minutes without thinking
about it, Tara said.
But shes optimistic
about the coming stem-cell
transplant. Then I have to
wait for (my sisters) DNA
to take over and start pro-
ducing red blood cells and
platelets.
During and after the
transplant, Tara expects
to be hospitalized several
times, including a period
when shell have to spend a
month in Hershey.
Ive learned that all you
can do is just be there for a
person, Christopher said.
The couple will lease
a short-term apartment,
which is one of many
expenses not covered by
insurance.
You pay a few hundred
just to see a doctor, Tara
said. And I have lots of
doctors.
Christopher will be tak-
ing time off from his job as
a foreman at Wilkes-Barre
Clay Products, which takes
another bite from the fam-
ilys income.
Eager to help nancially,
friends and relatives have
planned a Rally at the
River Grille fund-raiser
for Thursday at the River
Grille restaurant in Plains
Township.
These next couple
months are going to be
very difcult for Tara
and her family, long-
time friend Alison Taroli
Gelsleichter said. We are
hoping to make it just a
little bit easier.

The lesser-known problemof male body image
LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
NEW YORK Body dysmorphia, anorexia and
bulimia have been studied in women for years, but
rare is an account from a man who battled the dan-
gerous, distorted reection in his mirror.
Out recently from Brian Cuban, the middle of
two younger brothers of Dallas Mavericks owner
Mark Cuban, is Shattered Image,
his self-published account of
cocaine, alcohol and steroid abuse,
a brush with suicide, visits to a psy-
chiatric hospital and three failed
marriages.
All, he said in a recent interview,
stemmed from the monster he
began seeing in his mirror as a
socially crippled teenager who was
overweight and bullied, both at school and by his
own mother, herself a victim of body-focused ver-
bal abuse from his grandmother.
Cuban, 52 and the executive director of the
Mark Cuban Foundation, said he managed to hide
his demons until loved ones helped him into recov-
ery about six years ago. Now, he elds emails from
young people facing the same troubles, mostly
girls trying to deal with shards of shattered self-
images in their own mirrors.
He wishes more boys were among them.
Even in 2013, the stigma is just huge for boys.
You dont want to out yourself,
said Cuban, who lives in Dallas.
Ive had men come to me and say
theyre hiding eating disorders from
their wives. Theyre afraid of losing
their jobs. Theyre afraid of being
thought of as gay. Not much has
changed for men.
AP: Youre just six years or so
into recovery. Why write this
book now?
Cuban: I just felt that there was a
lack of understanding of male self-
image and male eating disorders,
especially body dysmorphic disor-
der. It is overwhelmingly thought of
and portrayed in the media and
in research as a predominantly
female disorder. I wanted to be one
of the ones stepping forward to help
change that conversation. Nobody
else seems to be. The process of
writing was a big part of my recov-
ery. Not just the book but on my
blog. I came out as a bulimic on my
blog. That was the rst my family
even knew of it.
AP: In addition to the book, what steps will
you take to raise visibility on these and related
issues like bullying?
Cuban: My goal is to reach out to college stu-
dents to educate them about male
body image issues. And to reach out
to parents to hopefully start a new
conversation about how to talk to
your children and how fat-shaming
can affect your childs perspective
and get it out there that every child
is different. Every child is born
unique. When I talk to parents I
hear a lot of, Well, I was bullied
and I fought back so thats what Im
going to teach my kid. Thats great
and maybe that will work for your
son or your daughter, but your child
is not you. Your child may not be
mentally equipped to handle it the
way you did.
AP: Tell me about your mom
and your grandmother because
your relationships with them
caused you a lot of grief over the
years.
Cuban: I had a tough relation-
ship with my mom. And my mom
had a tough relationship with her
mother. My grandmother was from
the old country, a Russian Jewish immigrant who
came over. She was dirt poor, and she had her
issues. She fat-shamed my mom and my mom fat-
shamed me. It just runs downhill. Its nothing new.
What changes is how you deal with it. My father
was my security. Part of my recovery was dealing
with that, and my mom and I have a great relation-
ship now. You have to forgive. That doesnt mean
you necessarily forget, but it helps you move on by
releasing the emotion.
AP: Youve had several key low points,
including failed marriages, nearly losing your
leg to a staph infection due to steroid abuse,
suicidal thoughts involving a .45 automatic in
your mouth and trips to the psych ward. What
was the nal turn to a healthier life?
Cuban: The last time I was bulimic was, I want
to say, 2007. That corresponded with my nal
low point, when I had a two-day, drug and alco-
hol induced blackout in which I was unfaithful to
my girlfriend. That had never happened before. We
had just moved in together. She had gone out of
town, and when she got back theres alcohol and
drugs everywhere and theres a prophylactic on the
ground.
It was at that point that I go back to the hospital.
I thought she was gone, but she stuck with me and
weve been together almost eight years now. It was
that one moment where I said, You know what, if
this happens again Ill be dead.
I walked into 12-step. I put the eating behaviors
behind me. I put the drugs behind me, but the
thoughts are always there. With body dysmorphic
disorder, theres no cure for the thoughts. Its only
how you deal with those thoughts. Thank God for
family who loves me.

Shattered Image: My Triumph
Over BodyDysmorphicDisorder,

Many stroke, heart-attack survivors make no changes after event
TARA KULASH
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Theres no stronger
scare tactic into leading
a healthy lifestyle than
suffering a heart attack
or stroke, which is why
it may be surprising that
many survivors dont make
changes needed to improve
their health.
A study published in
April in the Journal of
the American Medical
Association shows one in
four men doesnt make
any lifestyle changes after
a heart attack, stroke or
other major cardiac event.
Women were more likely to
change unhealthy behav-
iors, and urban residents
were more likely to make
at least two lifestyle chang-
es than those who lived in
rural areas.
Three behaviors were
included for the study:
smoking cessation, healthy
eating and physical exer-
cise. Out of 7,519 patients
surveyed in 17 countries,
just 4.3 percent of partici-
pants improved their hab-
its in all three areas, more
than 30 percent made two
lifestyle changes and more
than 47 percent changed at
least one lifestyle behavior
to better their health.
Dr. Mark Friedman, a
cardiologist at the SSM
Heart Institute, said
changing ones lifestyle can
be very difcult.
Patients dont want
to be talked down to, he
said. They dont want to
be told theyre bad.
But much of the prob-
lem is lack of education.
While patients used to
stay in the hospital for up
to two weeks after a car-
diac event, they now are
discharged within a day or
two. This leaves little time
for the medical staff to edu-
cate patients on what hap-
pened to them and what it
could mean for their future.
Friedman attempts
to motivate patients by
starting small. While
the American Heart
Association recommends
walking for 30 minutes a
day ve times a week, the
SSM cardiologist encour-
ages his patients to begin
with walking three days a
week. He also recommends
frozen sh and fruit for
those on a low budget.
What really surprised
Friedman about the study
is that patients had the
most success with smok-
ing cessation more
than 52 percent. People
in wealthier countries had
more success than those in
poorer countries, the study
showed. Friedman said
higher income individu-
als are likely to have more
education and resources to
quit smoking.
The numbers pleased
him, though, as Friedman
said smoking cessation
is one of the best ways to
avoid heart disease. Still,
he said he believes it is one
of the hardest habits for his
patients to cut, and they
have to really want to stop
for it to work.
Other changes include
diet, with 39 percent report-
ing eating more healthful
food, and physical activity,
with 35 percent saying they
were more active.
Urban area residents
were 22 percent more likely
in the study than those
in rural areas to make at
least two lifestyle changes.
Friedman said this could
again be because of more
education and resources
in cities. More physical
activity was reported by
people at all income levels.
Women were more likely
than men to make lifestyle
changes after a major car-
diac event.
More than 7 percent of
women made all three rec-
ommended lifestyle chang-
es, compared to less than
2.5 percent of men. They
were also 66 percent more
likely than men to make at
least two lifestyle changes,
and more than 26 percent
of men changed nothing
compared to about 7 per-
cent of women.
Friedman and his team
do their best to educate
victims of major cardiac
events by bringing in dieti-
tians and models that show
whats happening in the
patients body. Then they
have a mandatory follow-up
visit.
Deb Garbo, a nurse
practitioner, sees patients
shortly after their release
from the hospital to pre-
scribe medications and
treatment. She said many
people dont absorb what
theyre taught in the hos-
pital because theyre more
focused on being released,
so its her duty to reteach
the patients everything.
Garbo assesses patients
readiness to make changes.
Sometimes they will tell
her that they arent con-
dent they can handle break-
ing a habit, so she doesnt
force it on them.
A scared straight method
that Garbo uses sometimes
is she will ask the patients
to hang a photo of their
heart stent in their homes
so they can look at it when
theyre tempted to smoke a
cigarette or eat unhealthily.
One way to succeed is to
participate in a cardiopul-
monary rehabilitation pro-
gram, she said.
At the heart institute,
patients are overseen by
a medical director for an
hour three times a week
for exercise and educa-
tion. Amy Puricelli, a nurse
at the St. Marys Health
Center cardio rehab, said
the patients she sees usu-
ally are genuinely trying to
make changes.
However, only 10 percent
to 20 percent of patients
eligible for cardiac rehab
actually sign up for the pro-
gram.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I re-
cently declined a
wedding invitation
because my spouse
and I will be out of
town on the date of
the wedding. A few
days after I sent the
RSVP, I got an email from the groom
saying he had suspicions that I
wasnt attending because I was bitter
about not being in the wedding party.
I was shocked by the email. Not
only do I not care about who is in the
wedding party, I dont think were
such close friends that we should
have been invited in the first place.
I emailed him back, explaining that
we will be out of town and how upset
and disappointed I am that he would
think something like that. Wasnt
what he did a breach of etiquette?
Appalled in New York
Dear Appalled: Yes, it was. Your in-
ability to attend the wedding appears
to have brought to the surface the
grooms insecurity about his social
relationships. I dont blame you for
being appalled. The mans behavior
was inappropriate.
Dear Abby: My sister is 63, divorced,
educated, intelligent, self-employed
and receives monthly support from
her ex-husband. The problem is she
takes no responsibility for her health.
Shes extremely overweight because
she overeats and doesnt exercise. She
complains every day she feels ter-
rible. (I call it self-pitying whining.)
Our other siblings think it is too
late to confront her. I want to address
the issue now, before she gains even
more, or has a stroke or heart attack
and, quite frankly, wont be able to
care for herself. I dont want to see
the responsibility fall on her three
kids or us siblings. Your thoughts?
Sibling Standing By
Dear Sibling: The problem with
confronting someone is that it usu-
ally makes the person being confront-
ed defensive. In a case like this I dont
recommend it. However, a family
INTERVENTION might work. If the
family members were to get together
and, as a group, talk to your sister
about your concern for her health, it
might be the wake-up call she needs.
No mention of whining should
be made, but suggest that she might
have a touch of depression that could
be helped if she brings it to the at-
tention of her doctor. Tell her you all
love her, that youre worried about
her, and are willing to help.
Dear Abby: When my wife and I
go to a busy restaurant or a concert
where we can pick up last-minute
tickets, I often ask her to hop out of
the car to find out if the wait times
are reasonable or tickets are available
while I wait in the car. I do this so I
wont have to find a parking space un-
til were sure we will be staying.
My wife says my doing this is tacky.
I believe it is efficient. What are your
thoughts, recognizing that I usually
come up with the short straw on mat-
ters of manners? Thanks!
John K. in Windsor, Conn.
Dear John K.: Your request makes
perfect sense to me. Parking spaces
are sometimes hard to find and valet
parking isnt cheap. However, because
your wife resents doing this, either
she should be the one to drive so you
can hop out, or tickets and reserva-
tions should be made in advance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If youve
ever been the third wheel
navigating between a bicker-
ing couple, you understand how
important it is to present a uni-
fied front, even when you dont
feel so inclined.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youve
been known to knock yourself
out to create something beauti-
ful for your loved ones. Just be
careful not to coddle them too
much, or they will turn soft.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like
to know that your presence mat-
ters. However, if your energy
is too overwhelming, people
will feel intimidated, shut down
around you and be too uptight to
contribute their ideas.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A burst
of health, strength and vitality
will have you feeling groovy.
Confident and happy in your
stride, heads will snap to check
you out when you walk by.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love and
logic seldom go together. So
theres no sense in wondering
What was he thinking? or
Why did she do that? Instead,
wonder What was he feeling?
and Whats the best response?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
have the opportunity to ease
someones mind, salve their hurt
or soothe their pain. Seeing the
opportunity (others wont) and
acting on it is what makes you a
healer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Its
always easier to flirt with danger
if you have no intention of actu-
ally starting a relationship with
it. Your heart is pure now, but
if you continue to flirt, danger
could eventually wear you down.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
life is not on track, dont wait for
the turning point. Grab the steer-
ing wheel and turn with all your
might. You might go into a spin,
but you wont be headed in the
same bad direction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
If you keep answering emails,
phone calls and questions, they
will keep filling up your inbox,
voice box and mind space. At
some point youll say enough is
enough and change your focus.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
It would be easy to take the
socially acceptable route and do
what everyone else is doing. But
youll miss out if you play it too
safe. This afternoon, if youre not
risking, youre not being creative
enough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
express yourself passionately
when appropriate, but what is
needed today is a more con-
trolled and to-the-point energy.
Practice your presentation with
this end in mind.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Anyone
can react to bad news. Youre
different. Youre empathic, and
you use your gift to prevent bad
news from happening in the first
place. You notice when there is a
need and serve it before things
get out of hand.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20).
Your talent opens possibilities
for you that do not exist for oth-
ers. Youll use your privileged
position to promote good will
and create smart solutions to
common problems. Your com-
mute changes for the better in
September. Your lucky numbers
are: 5, 3, 33, 28 and 13.

Notice is hereby given that the Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing
Board will hold a public meeting on September 3, 2013 at
7:00PM at the Harveys Lake Borough Building, for the following
two variance requests:
1. Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board will hear testimony on the
application of Steve & Heather Vieczorek, owners of property at
Pole 140, Lakeside Drive Harveys Lake, PA 18618. Applicant is
requesting a variance from Harveys Lake Zoning board, so that
they can expand a non-conforming dock in the S-1 Zoning Dis-
trict. There is a stop work order, and enforcement notice in effect,
as the structure has been expanded without permit approval. Ad-
ditionally, the appropriate DEP permits have not been secured
for work in the water.
2. The Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board will hear testimony
on the application of Scott & Susan Meuser, regarding a prop-
erty owned by Michael & Cindy Vough, for a property at 207

ance needed to allow for private rowing/athletic club in the S-1

private athletic/rowing club in this zoning district.
Copies of these applications can be reviewed at the Harveys
Lake Municipal Building during regular business hours.
