tus gave Kings College $473,000.
WILKES-BARRE The estate of a
childless couple from Exeter is making
it possible for many young adults to get
a Kings College education.
The estate of Norbert and Victoria
Gustitus on Monday gave Kings more
than $473,000 to be used to establish a
memorial scholarship in their names.
Kings is extremely grateful for the
generosity of the late Mr. and Mrs. Gus-
titus, Kings President the Rev. John
Ryan said. Their gift will provide fi-
nancial support on an annual basis to
students for generations to come and
will help Kings continue its mission to
educate the sons and daughters of
working-class families.
According to estate documents, the
Kings scholarship will be given to stu-
dents who are financially in need of as-
sistance and who are academically
qualified to attend Kings College.
Victoria Gustitus brother, Norbert
Katarsky, said Monday his sister and
brother-in-lawwould be extremely hap-
py to see the amount of money go to the
college.

WASHINGTONDespite So-
cial Securitys long-term prob-
lems, the massive retirement and
disability program could be pre-
served for generations to come
with modest but politically diffi-
cult changes to benefits or taxes,
or a combination of both.
Some options could affect peo-
ple quickly, such as increasing
payroll taxes or reducing annual
cost-of-living adjustments for
those who already get benefits.
Others options, suchas gradually
raising the retirement age,
wouldnt be felt for years but
would affect millions of younger
workers.
All of the options carry politi-
cal risks because they have the
potential to affect nearly every
U.S. family while raisingthe ire of
powerful interest groups.
But the sooner changes are
made, the more subtle they can
be because they can be phased in
slowly. Each year lawmakers
wait,Social Securitys financial
problems loom larger and the
need for bigger changes becomes
greater, according to an analysis
by The Associated Press.
Certainly, in the current envi-
ronment, it would be very diffi-
cult to get changes made, Social
Securitys Commissioner, Mi-
chael J. Astrue, said in an inter-
view. It doesnt mean that we
shouldnt try. And sometimes

Security is needed and must

The region is second only to
parts of Florida in senior citi-

baby boomers already starting
to retire and file their claims,
the situation gets more criti-

PITTSTON TWP. - - The
Board of Supervisors voted
unanimously Monday to ter-
minate Centax/Don Wilkin-
son Agency as local services
tax, or LST, collector and to
award an emergency con-
tract to HA Berkheimer.
I have not seen one dime
in LST collection for 2012,
and we are entering the
third quarter, Township
Manager John Bonita said.
He said this
meant that ap-
proximately
$100, 000 was
due the town-
ship.
He said he
believed Cen-
tax was over-
whelmed.
The board
also approved an outside
consultant to audit the mer-
cantile and mechanical de-
vice tax collections for
2012.
I believe that within
weeks, we can have this un-
der control, Bonita said.
The board also approved a
roadway improvement pro-
j ect at the intersection of
Oak Street and the Pittston
Bypass.
Supervisor Steve Rinaldi
said that proj ect would re-
sult in better traffic f low and
improved safety conditions
in that area.
Resident Maryann Cameli
said township garbage col-
lector J. P. Mascaro refused
to pick up four bags of trash
that had been placed at her
curb in compliance with
township regulations.
Bonita advised her to call
the township building for
any subsequent problems.
Resident Joe McNamara
addressed the board with
concerns in regard to Ridge
Road.
The road needs to be
properly graded, said
McNamara, so that when it
rains it will not pour down
my driveway.

FORTY FORT Borough
Council voted unanimously
on Monday to apply for a loan
to help with budget woes
caused by the slow receipt of
earned income tax dollars col-
lected through the Centax/
Don Wilkinson Agency.
The $256,000 anticipation
note will be underwritten by
Franklin Security at an inter-
est rate of 1.79 percent with a
six-month interest-only op-
tion, payable in one year and
secured by grant money due
the borough.
Council voted to empower
the borough solicitor to seek
all legal recourse to recoup all
fees and interest associated
with the note from Centax.
Numerous municipalities
have encountered problems
receiving revenue collected
by Centax, which was hired
by the county to comply with
a state law mandating a sin-
gle agency to collect all
earned income taxes in the
county.
Due to the boroughs ongo-
ing budgetary issues related
to the tax-collection shortfall,
council split 3-2 on a vote to
pay current bills.
In other business:
Council voted to adver-
tise the flood plain ordinance
in advance of its submission
to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
Council also agreed to ad-
vertise its revised storm wa-
ter management ordinance
and to submit a memorandum
of understanding to the Lu-
zerne County Conservation
District regarding the storm
water law.
Council voted unani-
mously to accept DeNaples
Auto Parts bid of $500 to buy
the boroughs 1994 Chevy
Blazer and to reject DeNa-
ples offer of $750 to purchase
the boroughs 1998 Chevy
pickup truck.
Council stated it will seek
other avenues to maximize
the sale price of the aging
truck.

Gunman strikes at mall
Township police are investigating
an armed robbery at the Wyoming
Valley Mall on Monday afternoon.
Police said a man brandished a
handgun in the parking lot outside
the food court and stole a gold
necklace from a male victim.
The robber, described as a His-
panic male, about 5 feet, 10 inches
or 5 feet, 11 inches tall, wearing a
dark hoodie and possibly a Yankees
baseball cap, fled into a waiting
gold sedan, possibly a Toyota, police
said.
The name of the victim was not
immediately available.
A Luzerne County 911 supervisor
said a call reporting the robbery was
received at 5:31 p.m.
Anyone with information is asked
to call police at 208-0874 or dial
911.

Decision on DeSanto near
Officials with the Wyoming Valley
Sanitary Authority expect to decide
soon whether to refer allegations of
wrongdoing by
Executive Director
Fred DeSanto to
law enforcement
authorities, author-
ity solicitor William
Finnegan said Mon-
day.
DeSanto was
placed on paid
administrative leave last week after
several employees made allegations
against him, Finnegan said. Finne-
gan declined to specify the claims
made by the employees.
These are simply allegations that
have been made. I have not had an
opportunity to sit down and talk to
any of the individuals, he said.
Finnegan said he planned to meet
Monday with members of the au-
thoritys personnel committee to
discuss the accusations and deter-
mine whether a full internal in-
vestigation is warranted, or if the
case should be referred to law en-
forcement.
If a criminal investigation is war-
ranted, Finnegan said it most likely
will have to be referred to an out-
side agency because he serves as an
assistant district attorney for Lu-
zerne County, which would cause a
conflict.

Police warn of scams
Police caution residents about
phone scams after two people were
cheated out of money.
One scam involved a false dating
service website in which a person
was swindled out of $1,200, police
said.
The other scam involved a person
receiving a phone call and was told
that a family member needed bail
money. The person used Western
Union Services to send money to
Guyana, South America. Police said
the person lost $2,100.
The two people who were cheated
out of money reside on Warren
Street and Luzerne Avenue, police
said.
Police advise residents to be care-
ful when dealing with websites and

A former Hazleton chiroprac-
tor who was accused of causing
the 1999 death of an epileptic
woman is fighting a state agen-
cys denial of her request for a li-
cense to practice massage ther-
apy.
Joanne Gallagher hopes to
convincetheStateBoardof Mas-
sage Therapy to grant her a li-
cense despite her admission she
practiced outside the chiroprac-
tic profession when she treated
30-year-old Kimberly Stroheck-
er, contributing to Stroheckers
death.
Gallagher turned to massage
therapy after her chiropractic li-
cense was revoked based on fed-
eral charges filed against her in
2004 related to illegally billing
Medicaid for services she pro-
videdtoStrohecker. Shepleaded
guilty and was sentenced to 18
months in prison.
Stroheckers mother, Dawn,
lobbied for years to have crimi-
nal charges filed against Gal-
lagher, who convinced Kimber-
ly, a severe epileptic, to stop tak-
ing her anti-seizure medica-
tions, leadingtoaviolent seizure
that killed her on April 28, 1999.
Gallagher has acknowledged
she was wrongtotreat Stroheck-
er, but contendsshehaschanged
in the 13 years since the death
and deserves a second chance,
said her attorney, Walter Gra-
bowski.
But DawnStrohecker saidshe
is convinced Gallagher remains
a danger. She is determined to
see that she never again practic-
es in a profession involving pub-
lic health.
The public needs to be pro-
tected from someone like her.
Shecant betrusted,Strohecker
said. I will fight her every step
of the way, regardless of what
she tries to become.
The fight before the massage
therapy board stems from a
change in state lawthat requires
massage therapists to be licens-
edas of Jan. 1this year. Previous-
ly they could practice without a
license.
Gallagher has practiced mas-
sage therapy since her release
from prison. Her application for
a license was denied in March
based on the federal conviction.
She appealed the decision and a
hearing was held last week.
Grabowski said an attorney
for the Bureau of Occupational
Affairs arguedagainst grantinga

lently billing Medicaid.

WILKES-BARRE City police and
Luzerne County detectives want to re-
viewtext messages and calls made from
a cellphone belonging to Daniel Lough-
nane, whose 2006 Ford F350 is possibly
linked to a fatal hit-and-run last month.
Investigators on Monday filed a sec-
ond search warrant seeking to examine
Loughnanes cellphone to determine its
location when Rebecca McCallick, 19,
was struck by a vehicle in front of her
apartment at 199 Hazle Ave. on July 24.
The vehicle drove away and McCallick
died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center in Plains Township. The first
search warrant for the cellphone was fil-
ed on Friday.
District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-
Barre approved both warrants.
The difference between the two
search warrants for the cellphone is the
reason given by investigators.
In the first search warrant, investiga-
tors said they wanted to seize data from
the cellphone account. The second war-
rant allows investigators to examine the
phones SIM card, memory card, image
and video files, outgoing, incoming and
missed calls, visited websites, emails,
GPS coordinates and text messages.
Investigators say they recovereda Mo-
torola cellphone in the interior console
of the Ford when it was searched for
DNA on Aug. 14.
Suspected hair and a possible bone
fragment were found on the undercar-
riage and drivers side door area when it
was searched at LAGTowing and Trans-
ports garage on Carey Avenue.
Police released the truck on Friday.
Investigators called the Ford a vehi-
cle of interest in the fatal hit-and-run. It
was impounded without a warrant when
McCallicks boyfriend, John Schenck, al-
legedly identified it as the vehicle that
struck her when he was shown it parked
at Loughnanes house on West Liberty
Street in Hanover Township on Aug. 9.
Aneighbor claimed he sawtwo police
officers taking pictures of the Ford the
night of Aug. 8.
Loughnane could not be reached for
comment on Monday.
No charges have been filed.

Some Luzerne County em-
ployees dont plan to sign a
form agreeing to comply
with the new county ethics
code by Fridays deadline,
prompting debate during
Mondays county Account-
ability, Conduct and Ethics
Commission meeting.
Reasons for not signing in-
clude the codes potential
clash with union contracts
and the judicial systems sep-
aration of power.
Some court employees
and attorneys employed by
the county also question the
need to sign when theyre al-
ready required to follow pro-
fessional codes of conduct,
officials said.
County Controller Walter
Griffith said he will file an
ethics complaint against all
employees whofail tosignby
the deadline.
One union -- the American
Federation of State, County
& Municipal Employees, or
AFSCME-- sent a letter to its
employees Monday advising
them against signing, Grif-
fith said.
He said the code adopted
by county council doesnt
leave wiggle roombecause it
states employees must sign
the form as a condition of
continued employment.
Griffith questioned if
countyManager Robert Law-
ton, also a commission mem-
ber, will take personnel ac-
tational approach.
Kingston resident Brian
Shiner criticized the majori-
tys direction, saying the
code is clear about the re-
quirement.
He said any employee ar-
guments against signing the
form are ridiculous, and
the commissions willing-
ness to hold off on enforce-
ment is even more absurd.
Enough is enough. Sepa-
rate them from their pay-
checks, Shiner said. You
need to be firm. You need to
stop being wishy-washy.

Stefanie J. Salavantis, also a
commission member, said
she wants to step delicate-

could lead to costly litigation

union contract violations.
tion against employees who
wont sign.
Lawton said employees
must obey the code and cant
successfully claim ignorance
of its requirements, even if
they dont sign.
He said he expects a small
percentage wont sign.
Commission Chairwoman
Margaret Hogan said she
wants to discuss concerns
with non-signers, saying she
believes all employees will
sign after disagreements are
resolved.
Codes of conduct, includ-
ing the one governing the
court system, contain word-
ing that allow adherence to
additional codes, as long as
the two dont contradict, she
said.

Wilkes-
Barre won the
grant, to the
tune of
$632,733, this
year.
The district
is the only Lu-
zerne County
district to get a piece of $180
million in federal money hand-
ed out to six states through a
competitive process.
All the money must be used
for training this year. If the dis-
trict gets more grant money in
coming years, it could be used
to purchases curriculum mate-
rials and supplies, Namey said.
Toured another district
In deciding how to spend the
money, district representatives
went to Pleasant Valley School
District in Monroe County,
which has used similar services
from Step by Step and is touted
While former Pittston Area
Superintendent Ross Scaranti-
no did call Wilkes-Barre Area
School District on behalf of
Step by Step Learning, Scaran-
tino was not involved in the dis-
tricts decision to contract with
the private company for a liter-
acy program, Wilkes-Barre Ar-
ea Superintendent Jeff Namey
said.
Ross called us initially,
Namey said Monday. The first
time he called and asked us to
give them an opportunity to
talk. He was not part of the
teamthat came in to talk to us.
The Whitehall-based compa-
ny offered to help Wilkes-Barre
Area write an application for a
federal literacy grant being
handled through the state.
The help would be free if the
district didnt get the grant,
Namey said.
on the companys website as
one of its successes.
The team went down to
Pleasant Valley and they were
very pleased with what they
saw, Namey said.
The district contracted with
Step by Step to handle part of
the training worth almost half
the total grant. Additional
training is being done by the
Luzerne Intermediate Unit, a
regional agency that provides a
variety of services to districts.
A comprehensive needs as-
sessment showed the districts
biggest weaknesses in literacy
are in pre-kindergarten, kinder-
garten and grades one, two,
seven and eight, Namey said.
There wasnt enough money
to address all those grades, so
the district opted to focus on its
pre-K programs, run in partner-
ship with Luzerne County, and
kindergarten through grade
two.
One key objective of the
training is to sharply increase
the percentage of students who
have mastered the grade-level
material and can move to the
next grade without remedial
help.
Based on a standardized as-
sessment, the district has been
faring poorly, often having only
50 percent or less of students in
early grades ready to move up a
grade without remediation.
Under the terms of the grant,
the district must boost that to
80 percent in order to get future
grant money, Namey said.
Since making initial contact
on behalf of Step by Step, Sca-
rantino has called the district
other times requesting meet-
ings, but Namey said he has de-
clined those requests.
The district has only worked
with Step by Step associates,
primarily Mary Doe Donecker
and company President Mi-
chael Grabarits.
Pittston Area
Scarantino has contacted
other districts on behalf of Step
by Step Learning.
While there have been allega-
tions he lobbied Pittston Area
officials, Assistant Superin-
tendent John Lussi said neither
he nor Superintendent George
Cosgrove have been contacted
by Scarantino.
I dont think Ive talked to
him since he left the district,
Lussi said.
That would be in 2009. Sca-
rantino pleaded guilty in May
of that year to accepting money
in exchange for helping a con-
tractor land work with the dis-
trict.
He was sentenced that Octo-
ber to13 months in prison and a
$15,000 fine.
He was also stripped of his
state pension, which would
have been worth more than
$115,000 annually, and nego-
tiated a termination deal with
the School Board that denied
him $310,296 in benefits he ini-
tially contended he deserved
under his contract.
It is unclear what Scaranti-
nos status is at Step by Step.
Grabarits did not return a call
Monday.
Scarantino is on supervised
release following the serving
of his sentence.
He must stick to the terms of
that supervised release for two
years or risk having the terms
changed or revoked, which
could potentially land himback
in prison.
The terms of his release do
require him to support his de-
pendents and meet other fam-
ily responsibilities, to work
regularly at a lawful occupa-
tion and to notify the proba-
tion officer at least 10 days pri-
or to any change in residence or
employment.

guns on American and other coalition
troops.
Spokesman George Little said Panet-

Panetta and Karzai agreed that Amer-

Critics: Gas data is flawed
When Pennsylvania released official
data on Marcellus Shale natural gas
production last week, there was no
mention that numbers from Chesa-
peake Energy were missing, meaning
the bi-annual totals werent close to
being accurate. The firm has been a top
producer in previous reports.
Energy experts say such mistakes are
a serious problem, and just the latest
example of sloppy data releases from
the Department of Environmental
Protection.
But DEP spokesman Kevin Sunday
says in a statement issued Monday that
it is up to people who use the data to
make their own interpretations.
Chesapeake, which is based in Okla-
homa City, didnt immediately respond
to a request for comment.

Diller dead at age 95
Phyllis Diller, the veteran TV come-
dian who made an art of self-depre-
cation, has died, according to reports.
She was 95.
"The world has lost a true trailblazer,
a gracious and kind woman, beloved by
all," according to a statement posted at
Hollywoodreporter.com, and attributed
to her manager Milt Suchin. Diller died
Monday morning at 9:30 at her Los
Angeles home, according to Suchin.
Dillers career began exactly 50 years
ago on radio, but a segue to TV shortly
thereafter yielded some classics, nota-
bly her frequent appearances on
"Laugh-In," and a long association with
Bob Hope that yielded nearly two doz-
en TV specials and numerous visits to
Vietnam as part of his USO tour.

Nyad plows on after storm
Diana Nyad slogged across the
Straits of Florida for a third straight
day Monday, advancing toward a swim-
ming record on calm seas after endur-
ing a night of stormy weather.
Nyad, who turns 63 on Wednesday, is
making her third attempt since last
summer to become the first person to
swim from Cuba to Florida without a
shark cage. She also made a failed try
with a cage in 1978.
Shes doing well, a spokeswoman
for the swimmer, Alex Crotin, said
Monday afternoon.
Nyad had been expected to arrive
somewhere in the Florida Keys early
Tuesday, though her team didnt say
how much overnight storms Sunday
might delay her. Her team tweeted that
a storm had blown Nyad off course and
that all hell broke loose in the squall.
Monday appeared to be offering far
more ideal conditions, with blue skies
and level seas.

holiest month.
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama said Monday the U.S. would re-
consider its oppositiontomilitaryinvol-
vement in the Syrian civil war if Presi-
dent Bashar Assads beleaguered re-
gime deploys or uses chemical or bio-
logical weapons. He calledsuchactiona
red line for the United States.
Speaking to reporters at the White
House, Obama said the use of such
weapons of mass destruction would
considerably widen a conflict that has
already dragged on for a year-and-a-half
and killed about 20,000 people, accord-
ing to activists. Syria possesses exten-
sive chemical and biological weapons
stockpiles and has threatened to use
them if the country comes under for-
eign attack.
Thats an issue that doesnt just con-
cernSyria. It concerns our closeallies in
the region, including Israel. It concerns
us, Obama said, also acknowledging
the possibility that militant groups
might acquire some of those weapons.
We cannot have a situation where
chemical or biological weapons are fall-
ing into the hands of the wrong people.
The president noted he hasnt or-
dered any armed U.S. intervention yet,
but said: We have communicated in no
uncertainterms witheveryplayer inthe
region, that thats a red line for us, and
that there would be enormous conse-
quences if we start seeingmovement on
the chemical weapons front, or the use
of chemical weapons. That would
change my calculations significantly.
The remarks outlined for the first
time the point at which the administra-
tion could feel forced to intervene mili-
tarily in Syrias increasingly messy war,
even if Obama stopped short of saying
WMDuse would necessarily prompt an
American military response.
His administration has been reluc-
tant to get too involved in Syrias spiral-
ingviolence out of fear that it wouldfur-
ther militarize the conflict and worsen
chances of a political solution. Contin-
ued deadlock at the United Nations
means there is no clear mandate for the
U.S. to help patrol Syrian airspace to
stopairstrikes onrebel outposts, as Sen.
John McCain and others have urged.
And administration officials insist they
knowtoolittle about muchof Syrias op-
position to start providing weapons.
In issuing its threat last month, Syria
acknowledged for the first time that it
has what is believed to be among the
biggest chemical and biological weap-
ons programs in the world. Assads mil-
itary regime is believedtohave mustard
gas like the type used by Saddam Hus-
sein against Iran and Iraqs Kurdish mi-
nority in the 1980s, as well as nerve
agents such as tabun, sarin and VX that
can be delivered in missiles, bombs,
rockets, artillery shells or other large
munitions.
Obama said U.S. officials were mon-
itoring the situation very carefully,
and have assembled contingency plans.
In Syria, government forces heavily
shelled the cities of Aleppo and Daraa
and a suburb of Damascus on the sec-
ond day of the major Muslimholiday of
the Eid al-Fitr marking the end of the
holy month of Ramadan. Up to 30 peo-
ple were killed, rights groups and activ-
ists said. After a lull in the civil war on
the holidays first day, Mondays renew-
ed fighting showed Assads regime was
not letting up on its drive to quell the
18-month-old uprising out of respect for
the occasion.

ST. LOUIS Missouri Rep.
Todd Akin apologized Monday
for his televised comments that
womens bodies are able to pre-
vent pregnancies if they are vic-
tims of a legitimate rape, but he
refused to heed calls to abandon
his bid for the Senate.
Appearing on former presiden-
tial candidate
Mike Hucka-
bees radio
show, Akin said
rape is never
legitimate.
Its an evil
act. Its commit-
ted by violent
predators,
Akin said. I used the wrong
words the wrong way.
Calls for Akins exit from the
race grew Monday, with at least
twoRepublicansenators Scott
Brown of Massachusetts and Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin saying
he should resign the partys nom-
ination.
But Akin, who has served six
terms, pledged to continue the
race against Democratic incum-
bent Sen. Claire McCaskill.
The good people of Missouri
nominatedme, andImnot a quit-
ter, he said. And my belief is
were going to take this thing for-
ward and by the grace of God,
were going to win this race.
Asked in an interview Sunday
on KTVI-TV if he would support
abortions for women who have
been raped, Akin said: It seems
to me, first of all, from what I un-
derstandfromdoctors, thats real-
lyrare. If its a legitimate rape, the
female body has ways to try to
shut that whole thing down.
Later Sunday, Akin released a
statement saying that he mis-
spoke during the interview,
though the statement did not say
specifically which points were in
error.
In reviewing my off-the-cuff
remarks, its clear that I misspoke
in this interview, and it does not
reflect the deep empathy I hold
for the thousands of women who
are raped and abused every year,
Akins statement said.
Akin also said he believes
deeply in the protection of all
life and does not believe that
harming another innocent victim
is the right course of action.
Brown, considered to be one of
the most vulnerable Senate Re-
publicans in the November elec-
tion, said Akins comments were
outrageous, inappropriate and
wrong.
An official with the National
Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committeesaidthegroups head,
Texas Sen. John Cornyn, called
Akin on Monday to tell him that
the committee had withdrawn $5
million in advertising.

Adecade after former Augusta Nation-
al Golf Club chairman Hootie Johnson
swore that the home of the Masters golf
tournament would not admit women "at
the point of a bayonet," the club has
quietly invited two prominent women to
join.
Former Secretary of State Condoleez-
za Rice andSouthCarolina financier Dar-
la Moore have accepted membership in-
vitations, theclubannouncedMonday
22 years after admitting its first black
members.
The move came with little advance no-
tice, and at a time when controversy over
the previously all-male club in eastern
Georgia had cooled somewhat. The club,
long a citadel of Southern privilege and
exclusivity and racismand sexism, ac-
cording to its critics gave no explana-
tion for a sudden reversal of policy. But
Augusta Nationals current chairman
called it "a joyous occasion."
In a prepared statement, Billy Payne,
who replaced Johnson as Augusta Na-
tional chairman in 2006, said: "We enthu-
siastically welcome Secretary Condo-
leezza Rice andDarla Moore as members
of Augusta National Golf Club."
Payne referredtothe decisionas "a sig-
nificant and positive time in our Clubs
history."
He added: "These accomplished wom-
en share our passion for the game of golf
and both are well known and respected
by our membership. It will be a proud
moment when we present Condoleezza
and Darla their Green Jackets when the
Club opens this fall."
Payne offered no details about the
membership process, or why Rice and
Moore were invited. The clubhas longre-
fused to discuss membership proce-
dures.
Augusta National, which once re-
quired that all caddies be black, admitted
its first black members in1990. For years,
it has allowed women to play the course
as guests.

MANCHESTER, N.H.
Republican presidential can-
didate Mitt Romney accused
President Barack Obama on
Mondayof distortingthe GOP
tickets tax policies, contin-
uing the presidential cam-
paigns sharply personal tone.
It seems that the first vic-
tim of an Obama campaign is
the truth, Romney told about
3,000 people at anoutdoor ral-
ly in Manchester, N.H.
Asked by a woman about
Obama campaign lies that
claim the GOP ticket would
raise taxes, Romney said, All
weve heard so far is one at-
tack after another. He said
perhaps only one of the Demo-
crats many TV ads is hon-
est.
I will not raise taxes on
anyone, Romney said. Mr.
President, stop saying some-
thing thats not the truth.
Obama says Romneys bid
to cut taxes on capital gains
and other means of income
wouldshift the overall taxbur-
den toward middle-income
Americans.
Romney and his running
mate, Paul Ryan, also blasted
Obamas Medicare plan, even
though a central element of
that plan once was embraced
by Ryan.
Medicare should not be a
piggy bank for Obamacare,
Ryan told crowd, where he
joined Romney for the first
time in a week.
The two men criticized
Obamas plan to reduce Medi-
cares projected growth by
$716 billion over 10 years.
Obama says thesavings would
come from reduced payments
to -- andgreater efficiency by --
health care providers.
Romney and Ryan de-
nounced the plan as a cut to
necessary Medicare benefits,
even though Ryan also backed
the $716 billion reduction be-
fore joining the GOP ticket.
Romney says his proposal
to offer a private alternative to
Medicare would not affect
anyone over age 55. Some 14
percent of New Hampshire
residents are over the age of
65, and this state, which holds
the nations first presidential
primary, is known for its vot-
ers sharp questioning of can-
didates during suchtownhall-
style events.
A crowd of about 3,000
many waving Romney-Ryan
signs and American flags
greeted the Republican duo
for the outdoor event on the
quad at St. Anselm College.
Romneysaidtheevent was his
100th town hall since begin-
ning his run for the White
House more than a year ago.
Obama spent Saturday in
New Hampshire, casting
doubts on what the GOP tick-
et would do for older voters.
You would think they
would avoid talking about
Medicare, given the fact that
bothof themhave proposedto
voucherize the Medicare sys-
tem, he said Saturday in
Windham. But I guess they
figure the best defense is totry
to go on offense.

and convenience store and other
crimes was sentenced Monday to
15 to 30 months in state prison.

with a last known address of Le-
high Street, Wilkes-Barre, was
sentenced by Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley on two counts each
of robbery, theft, and retail theft,
and one count each of simple as-
sault and possession of drug par-
aphernalia.
Miller pleaded guilty to the
charges in July 2011 and July
2012.
Millers attorney, William
Watt, said his client has suffered
frommental-health issues and he
does well in a structured setting.
Watt also noted his client has a

Im very remorseful about
(the crimes committed). I take
responsibility for my actions,
Miller told Polachek Gartley.

Polachek Gartley also ordered
Miller to serve three years proba-
tion after his prison sentence.

Miller andMiller was apprehend-

Miller entered the Pantry Quik

paper. He then placed on the
counter that read, Give me the
money or I will shoot.
The clerk said Miller tried to
take money from the register but
was unsuccessful and fled.
Other incidents police said
Miller was involved in between
June 24, 2010 and Oct. 6, 2011 in-
cluded attempted thefts at Wal-
mart and Wegmans in Wilkes-
Barre Township and theft of a tel-
evision from an Ashley home.
Polachek Gartley said Miller
must pay over $570 in restitution
and complete 40 hours of com-
munity service. Miller received
more than 200 days credit for
time already served in prison and
will be required to undergo men-
tal health and drug-and-alcohol
evaluations.
Miller can have no contact
withany victims andwas ordered
to stay out of any Walmart and
Wegmans stores.

John E. Walson Jr., chief executive offi-
cer and president of Service Electric Ca-
ble TV & Communications, died Sunday
after a brief battle with cancer. He was 63.
The son of John E. Walson Sr., well-
known as a pioneer in cable television
who founded whats known today as Ser-
vice Electric in 1948, Walson Jr. is cred-
ited with making sure the company re-
mained a relevant player in the cable tele-
vision industry that has blossomed since
he took over the company upon his fa-
thers death in 1993.
Bundled services that include digital
telephone and high-speed Internet are
among the offerings Walson Jr. imple-
mented over the past dozen years, said
Andy Himmelwright, general manager of
Service Electric Cable TV-2.
He made it stronger and better and
more advanced than it was (when he took
over in 1993), he added.
Larry Shewack, the general manager of
the Wilkes-Barre divisionof the company,
worked with Walson Jr. for eight years
and said the owner was a very generous
and good man. He will be missed.
Himmelwright, who worked with Wal-
sonJr. since1983, calledthe deatha pret-
ty big shocker and lamented the loss to
the company, his family and the greater
Service Electric community as a whole.
He was caring, compassionate, very
driven, verymotivatedbycableTV, Him-
melwright said. He carried the legacy
forward that his father innovated in Ma-
hanoy City, inthe hills of Schuylkill Coun-
ty.
As thestorygoes, accordingtothecom-
panys website, in1947the Walsons began
selling television sets at their appliance
store.
It was impossible to receive the three
Philadelphia network stations in Maha-
noy City in Carbon County because the
town is surrounded by mountains. An an-
tenna tower was built on top of a nearby
mountain. Walson was able to demon-
strate his new television receivers at this
mountain top location. In searching for
ways to increase television sales, a line
was constructed fromthat antenna site to
his appliance warehouse and other cus-
tomers along that path were able to tie in
andreceive those stations. Andcable tele-
vision, then dubbed community antenna
television, was born.
Walson Jr. had been involved in the ca-
ble television industry for over 38 years.
Prior to becoming president, he spent a
number of years in the field operations of
the company, including10 years as a head
end technician, 10 years as a field techni-
cian and six years as a chief engineer for
the companys TV studio.
Himmelwright said those who knew
Walson Jr. quickly realized he wasnt
someone who rode his fathers coattails.
He was an extremely personable guy
who loved his employees and put his em-
ployees first, he said.
Himmelwright saidJohnE. WalsonJr.s
son, John M. Walson, already is an inte-
gral part of the operations andis expected
to take over the leadership role. He said
the company offers cable and other com-
munications to the Lehigh Valley, greater
Wilkes-Barre, andHunterdonandWarren
counties in New Jersey.
Shewack said he is hopeful the third
generation of the Walson family to be in-
volvedinthe companywill be like the first
two.
They all prided themselves in custom-
er service. The customer always came
first, Shewack said.

WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County senior judge on
Monday said a teen charged in
the December 2009 shooting
death of his great-grandfather
will soon be returned to the
county prison.
Cody Lee, 19, charged when
he was 16 in the shooting death
of 80-year-old Herbert Lee, will
be moved from a juvenile treat-
ment facility to the county pris-
on within 20 days, after a judge
ruled recently Lees case will be
heard in adult court.
Lee had resided at Adolphi
Village Middle Creek Male Se-
cure Treatment Facility in West-
moreland County since October
2010.
Senior Judge Joseph Augello
also sent Lees case to District
Judges James Tupper for a pre-
liminary hearing to be sched-
uled.
Lee has not yet had a prelimi-
nary hearing because of the
uncertainty of which court
would hear his case. No date
has yet been set.
Lees attorneys are appealing
Judge Joseph Sklaroskys ruling.
WILKES-BARRE A King-
ston man who police say as-
saulted a woman and held her
hostage in his apartment was
sentenced Monday to 22 to 44
months in state prison.
Bruce Anthony Jackson, 49, of
Wyoming Avenue, was sen-
tenced by Judge David Lupas on
charges of terroristic threats and
simple assault. Jackson pleaded
guilty to the charges in June.
Aug. 24, 2011, police were called
to Jacksons apartment for the
report of a woman being held
hostage.
The woman told police Jack-
son struck her numerous times,
threatened her with a knife and
would not allow her to leave.
Jackson was ordered to under-
go a drug-and-alcohol evalua-
tion, have no contact with the
woman, and was given nearly a
years worth of credit for time
already served in prison.
WILKES-BARRE A man
charged with threatening a teen
with a knife and slashing his
hand withdrew a guilty plea to
two related charges Monday and
requested to face a jury trial.
Joshua Allen Wagner, 22, of
Tomhicken Road, Fern Glen,
withdrew a plea he made in May
to one count each of aggravated
assault and public drunkenness.
Judge David Lupas granted
Wagners request and scheduled
him to stand trial on Nov. 5.
July 16, 2011, state police at
Hazleton were called to the
parking lot of the Ramada Inn
along Route 309 in Hazle Town-
ship for the report of a man with
a knife.
Police said when they arrived,
they spoke with the manager of
the Ramada, who said Wagner
had to be removed from the bar
area because of his level of in-
toxication.
Police then spoke with a 17-
year-old male who said he was
in the parking lot of the hotel
when Wagner pulled out a knife
and swung it at the teens face.
The juvenile said he blocked the
attempt and was slashed on the
hand

NANTICOKE City police
said Monday they are search-
ing for George Richards, 26, of
Nanticoke, for his alleged role
in a stabbing in June.
An arrest warrant was is-
sued for Richards, charging
him with aggravated assault,
simple assault and harass-
ment.
Police allege Richards as-
saulted Floyd Bernard on East
Main Street on June 30. Ber-
nard was beaten with a wood-
en object and stabbed, police
said.
Richard Shaw, 28, of Wilkes-
Barre, was arrested July 18 for
his alleged role. Shaw was
charged with aggravated as-
sault, harassment and two
counts of simple assault. He
was freed after posting
$75,000 bail on July 26, ac-
cording to court records.
Anyone with information
about the whereabouts of
Richards is asked to call Nanti-
coke police at 735-2200 or 911.
NANTICOKE City police
said Monday they are search-
ing for a woman who cashed a
check that was illegally repro-
duced using a magisterial
district courts check.
Police said the $969 check
was cashed at United Check
Cashing in Edwardsville on
June 27. The check was a
reproduction of what a court
check issued by District Judge
Donald Whittaker would issue
to people owed restitution.
The bogus check was made
payable to Tamina J. Williams
of 260 Rutter Ave., Kingston.
An investigation determined
the woman who cashed the
check was not Williams and
the Rutter Avenue address
does not exist.
Anyone with information
about the womans identity is
asked to call Nanticoke police
at 735-2200 ext. 206.

feel safe.
He forwarded the following
recommendations that he said
could be instituted immediately
for all correctional facilities in
Pennsylvania similar to MinSec:
List (publicly) the names
and specific criminal convictions
of each inmate housed there and
keep it updated.
Make certain there is imme-
diate return to a state correction-
al facilityof any(one in) violation
of the law.
Prohibit the use of lockers or
other places to store items out-
side the facility.
Have the city set up a web
page link for members of the pub-
lic andrequire MinSec topost the
picture and name of any inmate
going a day pass or work release
at least 24 hours inadvance of the
day pass or work release.
Require MinSec to update
these public records daily.
DOC spokeswoman Sue Bens-
inger declined comment on the
recommendations.
Chamber President Donna Pa-
lermo said there have been doz-
ens of MinSec inmate-related
crimes and/or escapes in the ar-
ea since the facility opened in
2008 at least sevenjust since Ja-
nuary. She hopes the DOC care-
fully considers the recommenda-
tions anddoes not renewthe con-
tract with MinSec, which is set to
expire soon.
West Hazleton Police Chief
BrianBuglio, who participatedin
thepanel discussion, saida lot of
our major crimes occurringinthe
Hazleton area are a direct result
of MinSec. There was a murder
here about two years ago. The
people involved had no connec-
tion to our area except MinSec.
They bring this criminal element
to our area.
Buglio said he would like Min-
Sec to immediately report escap-
ed/absconded prisoners to Lu-
zerne County 911 not just to
HAZLETON State Superior
Court President Judge Corry Ste-
vens has sent recommendations
on how a controversial down-
town community corrections
center can improve public safety
to the state Department of Cor-
rections.
Stevens, who resides in Grea-
ter Hazleton, moderated a panel
discussion among three local
chiefs of police on local crime is-
sues at a June 15 meeting of the
Mountain Council of Govern-
ments, which consists of Hazle-
ton area municipal governments.
The MinSec community cor-
rections center at Broad and
Church streets in Hazleton was
the primary topic, said Dan
Guydish, executive director of
the council.
Stevens said local officials and
chiefs of police discussed their
ongoing concerns about MinSec,
and I sent those concerns to the
Department of Corrections. Spe-
cifically, inmates incarcerated at
MinSec not only have escaped
but routinely receive day passes,
he said.
On those day passes, MinSec
inmates frequent the YMCA/
YWCA, the library andother pub-
lic places where childrenandoth-
er vulnerable members of the
community frequent. And some-
times on those day passes, in-
mates commit other crimes or es-
cape, the judge said.
To have inmates walking
around the community and fre-
quenting places children fre-
quent and not allow parents and
other members of the public to
knowthe crimes for which the in-
mate is at MinSec creates a con-
tinual threat to law abiding citi-
state police so all local police
departments can be aware.
Hazleton Police Chief Frank
DeAndrea said that in the four
months that he has been chief,
MinSec has done nothing but
cooperate with every request my
department has made.
DeAndrea said MinSec gave
his department access to the
companys prisoner/parolee da-
tabase, which lists inmates pho-
tos, crimes, times and dates of re-
leases, who signed them out and
other information.
When I questioned (a MinSec
official on why the department
didnt have this (access) before,
the response was: They never
asked, he said.
DeAndrea said he also asked
for immediate notification when
an inmate escapes or absconds
and that inmates not be allowed
on city playgrounds, and MinSec
agreed to that as well.
DeAndrea said his beef is with
the DOC.
Rules should be tightened on
who is allowed to go to these fa-
cilities and where these facilities
should be located.
Theyre taking people who
commit crimes all over surround-
ing communities even if theyre
from New York, New Jersey,
Reading and relocating themto
live in Hazleton. Thats whats
not fair to the community,
DeAndrea said, adding that the
DOC should house prisoners
based on where theyre from, not
where they commit a crime.
State Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-But-
ler Township, andstate Sen. John
Yudichak, D-Plymouth Town-
ship, who have advocated for
more restrictions on the types of
prisoners allowed at community
correction facilities, said they
support the recommendations.
They also both hope Stevens
experience as a former district at-
torney and his current judicial
position will draw the DOCs at-
tention to community concerns.

Opponents of ID law

I
am a lifelong registered Democrat.
However, I have suspicions about that

for casting a ballot.
It is my unalterable assumption that
anyone opposing the voter ID law has a
personal reason for doing so. That reason
is spelled f-r-a-u-d! Many elections are won
or lost by a few votes, which means that
one fraudulent ballot can swing an elec-
tion.
As for the American Civil Liberties

ID law, I have two words for it, and those

Lower Mitts taxes to less than 1 percent,

Effect of mortgage mess
continues for taxpayers
T
he sub-prime mortgage scandal was the
biggest con ever pulled on the Amer-
ican people.
Financial institutions were loaning mon-
ey to illegal immigrants and fueling the
overpricing of home sales, causing massive
foreclosure and recession.
Now homes assessed at a certain value
are being sold for one-third of those values;
the buyers want the assessed values re-
duced to the sale price. Those buyers
claim its for investment purposes.
The buyers probably will rent the homes
to people for whom the government pays
the rent. Now that is socialism. And how
does the taxpayer benefit?

K
DID YOU know that August
is National Immunization
Awareness Month? With a
new school year right
around the corner and flu
season approaching fast,
now is the perfect time to
think about the immunizations that are most
appropriate for you and your loved ones of all
ages.
Why immunization is important
There are many ways our bodies fight dis-
ease. One of the most important ways is trig-
gered when the body is exposed to a virus.
Thats when your immune system creates a
defense strategy and a memory or immuni-
ty that can be used to fight off the disease in
the future.
Vaccination allows the body to create that
memory without actually acquiring the dis-
ease. A vaccine injects dead cells or modified
live cells from the virus into the body. Your
immune system reacts by building an immu-
nity to fight the disease. This reaction is
stored in the immune systems memory, and if
or when the disease actually strikes, your
body is better equipped to fight it.
With vaccinations, as with any health proce-
dure, remember that your physician knows
your health history best and can make the
most appropriate recommendation about
what immunizations are right for you.
The flu vaccine
According to the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention, there are a number of
immunizations that are recommended for
individuals of various age groups. First and
foremost, everyone older than 6 months is
recommended to receive an annual flu vac-
cine, especially the young, the elderly and
those with chronic health issues or compro-
mised immune systems.
And to dispel a myth about flu vaccines:
People do not contract the flu as a result of
receiving the vaccine. Anyone who might
become sick a few days after receiving a flu
vaccine most likely acquired the flu before
they received the vaccine or acquired a differ-
ent virus, since the vaccine is usually given
during cold and flu season. It is far better to
receive the vaccine than to acquire and spread
the flu.
Other important vaccines
For years, many childhood diseases such as
mumps, measles and chickenpox were consid-
ered rights of passage. Most children who
acquired these diseases recovered completely,
but there are many examples in which the
disease caused serious lifelong disabilities and
even death.
Vaccinations that prevent these diseases, as
well as hepatitis A and B, polio, rotavirus and
pneumococcus, are suggested for children
from birth up to school age according to your
physicians recommendations.
Parents of teenagers and young adults
should ask their physician about booster
shots for the immunizations their children
received as youngsters, as well as a meningitis
shot and the annual flu vaccine.
And adolescent girls should be considered
to receive the human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer.
Finally, seniors should consider receiving
vaccines for pneumonia, tetanus and shingles
along with the flu vaccine. Those who are
parents or grandparents, or who have regular
contact with children, also should receive
booster shots for some childhood diseases
such as whooping cough. And anyone plan-
ning to travel to a foreign country should ask
his or her physician about what vaccines
might be appropriate prior to the trip.
Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania
joins with the rest of the health care commu-
nity in encouraging individuals to receive the
immunizations that will help keep them and
our entire community healthy.

ONTLETPennsylva-

ID law, upheld in
Commonwealth
Court last week, keep minori-
ties, the poor and the elderly

Nowis the time to make sure
voters have proper photo IDs
andthe underlyingdocumenta-
tion to get them.
CommonwealthCourt Judge
Robert E. Simpson Jr. ignored
evidencethat thestateis unpre-

might be disenfranchised.
And even though the case
has been appealed to the state
Supreme Court, there is noway
to know what the justices will
decide. Thecourt is evenlysplit
betweenthree Republicans and
three Democrats, raising the
possibility of a deadlock on this
politically charged issue. A
deadlock means the flawed
Simpson decision stands.
The nonpartisan Pennsylva-
nia Voter ID Coalition, orga-
nized by the Committee of Sev-
enty, is a focus for dozens of re-
ligious, labor, civic, cultural,

Theyre getting the word out
through their networks and
helping voters obtain birth cer-
tificates so they can acquire
voter IDs and provide help for
other problems. Theycanbere-
ached at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
The best way to beat back a
tyrannical act such as voter ID
is to show what a fight for vot-
ing rights looks like by helping
as many citizens as possible get
ready to cast ballots on Nov. 6.

ACK-TO-SCHOOL
season signals big
changes and new re-
sponsibilities, and not
only for students.
Grownups all of youmoms,
dads, grandparents and other
guardians of school-age youths
in Northeastern Pennsylvania
should recognize that you
play a vital role in determining
whether a child thrives in the
classroom, struggles to ad-
vance or tosses in the towel.
For example, be on the loo-
kout for bullying something
that can be at its worst at the
start of a new school year.
Whether your child is the ag-
gressor or the victim, nip this
ugly behavior in the bud before
it intensifies and injures.
How a student performs in
school, and whether she or he
drops out or gets a high school
degree, typically influences the
rest of life: from job options to
earnings potential to participa-
tion in the community. In this
happiness vs. hardship equa-
tion, you can help tip the scales
toward future success for your
student by getting involved in
the education process.
Contrary to what some par-
ents seemingly believe, your
obligationandparticipation
shouldnt endat the bus stopor
the schoolhouse door. Join
with other parents to address
school-related concerns and to
exchange ideas through a for-
mal group such as the Parent
Teacher Association or an in-
formal friends circle. Findways
to support your childs teach-
ers. And consult online and
other resources for ongoing
guidance.
The National PTA offers a
range of advice this month on
back-to-school preparation.
(See www.pta.org/3051.htm.)
Among its offerings: Cost-cut-
ting tips for back-to-school,
Tips for communicating with
teachers effectively and
Transitioning from summer
to school.
Similarly, websites such as
Education.com and Great-
Schools.org provide seasonal
suggestions and other helpful
information, whether your
child is prepping for high
school or first grade. For in-
stance, prepare your elemen-
tary-age child to start the
school year by establishing an
early bedtime, securing his or
her required immunizations
and health records, filling out
other necessary paperwork
and reviewing the route to
school.
Give your school student the
best possible shot at achieving
his or her potential. Treat the
end of summer break as the
start of a tremendous opportu-
nity for both of you.

ing the economy and reducing

waste and fraud while working
to improve efficiency and
grow the economy so we can
secure and strengthen this vi-
tal program for generations to
come.
Casey said he
wants to preserve the
program and believes
that the best way to
extend its solvency
without cutting bene-
fits is to turn around
the economy and re-
duce the deficit.
More jobs mean
more money going in-
to Social Security
from payroll, he
said.
Tom Smith
GOP Senate candi-
date
Its past time for
our elected officials
to step up and take ac-
tion to save our So-
cial Security system,
said the Armstrong
County man. Our
government has an
obligation to our se-
niors and most vul-
nerable citizens, to
reform Social Securi-
ty in order to pre-
serve it for the fu-
ture.
He added: Govern-
ment has an obliga-
tion to preserve a fi-
nancially healthy sys-
tem of Social Securi-
ty in order to honor
the agreement be-
tween the govern-
ment and its people,
he said.
U.S. Rep. Lou Bar-
letta
R-Hazleton, 11th
District
The best way to
fortify the Social Se-
curity fund is to im-
prove the economy
and create more jobs.
Right now, millions
of people are unem-
ployed and millions
more are no longer
being counted be-
cause theyve given
up hope and stopped
looking for work. Put-
ting Americans back
to work will give an
immediate boost to
Social Security as far
as the payroll tax
goes.
Congress has to
start showing its re-
spect for the Social
Security programand
stop raiding its trust
fund. We also owe it
to future retirees to
find long-term solutions for
preserving the program. Do-
ing nothing is never a solu-
tion. We have to keep the pro-
gram intact for all those who
are living on Social Security
and find a way to save it for
generations to come.
Congress voted to raid the
Social Security trust fund 16
times to pay for pet projects.
Congress took more than $4
trillion from the fund to pay
for out-of-control spending.
Gene Stilp, Democrat
11th District candidate
Stilp said the current sys-
tem must be strengthened and
Social Security should not be
privatized.
While opposed to privatiza-
tion of Social Security, I be-
lieve in encouraging citizens
to also save independently for
retirement through participa-
tion in workplace investment
programs and I would encour-
age employers to help workers
develop those plans, Stilp, of
Dauphin County, said. Con-
gress must encourage work-
place savings and investment
programs.
As a congressman, I would
work with all parties to break
the ideological stranglehold
that prevents Congress from
acting and working with all
parties to secure a Social Secu-
rity system that will last indef-
initely, he said. The Social
Security system is dependent
upon getting America and spe-
cifically Pennsylvania back to
full employment. Finger point-
ing and electioneering does
not help. We must work to-
gether.
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino,
R-Lycoming Township
10th District
Rather than be honest with
the American people and take
steps to ensure a future for So-
cial Security, President Oba-
ma has chosen to stay on the
sidelines. His refusal to offer
comprehensive reform plans
or constructive changes to the
proposals laid out by House
Republicans is just another ex-
ample of this Presidents fail-
ure to lead.
House Republicans
have put forth sub-
stantive policy propos-
als that will force ac-
tion to restore the So-
cial Security trust
fund balance should
the program near in-
solvency. Without
strength and leader-
ship from the White
House and a Senate
willing to take action,
all Americans are
right to be concerned
about the future of
Medicare and Social
Security. A better fu-
ture for America relies
on active leadership
and the political cour-
age to be honest with
voters before our cur-
rent situation deterio-
rates further.
Phil Scollo, Demo-
crat
10th District candi-
date
Many seniors live
on fixed incomes and
depend on the bed-
rock promises of So-
cial Security. We sim-
ply must not put their
financial future at risk
in the hands of the fi-
nancial services indus-
try. Yet, thats exactly
what many in Washing-
ton want to do.
If I am given the
honor of representing
the 10th District in
Congress, I will do ev-
erything in my power
to make sure Social
Security is protected
for todays and tomor-
rows seniors as well
as or future genera-
tions.
Scollo, of Dingman
Township, added: I
will work with Repub-
licans and Democrats
on an honest program
of growth and job cre-
ation to make sure we
honor the promises
we have made to the
people who built this
country and the future
generations who will
lead us into new pros-
perity.
Matt Cartwright,
Democrat, 17th Dis-
trict candidate
Cartwright de-
nounced Republican
efforts to privatize Social Se-
curity.
Congressman (and GOP
vice presidential candidate)
Paul Ryans 2010 Roadmap for
Americas Future sought to
partially privatize Social Secu-
rity, reduce benefits, and grad-
ually increase the age which
the recipient could withdraw
funds, Cartwright, Moosic,
said. I could not be more op-
posed to this plan. The ulti-
mate purpose of Social Securi-
ty is to provide seniors insur-
ance against falling into pover-
ty as they retire. To increase
the risk of poverty while re-
ducing the amount of benefit
flies in the face of the very pur-
pose of this great national pro-
gram.
Laureen Cummings, R, 17th
District candidate
I believe that by eliminat-
ing our current broken and re-
gressive income tax system
and replacing it with the fair
tax, we will be able to fund
both Medicare and Social Se-
curity in a fairer and more sim-
pler way.
The fair tax is a national
sales tax on new products,
she said, by broadening the
tax base to include illegal
workers and those working un-
der the table. It would also put
an end to corporate loopholes
and puts the power back into
the hands of the people rather
than the politicians and Wash-
ington bureaucrats, she said.
Under the Fair Tax, seniors
would no longer pay income
taxes on their Social Security
benefits, Cummings, of Old
Forge, added.

taking these courses and wanted to give
back to the college.
Katarsky saidthats the only connectionto
the college he could find of his sister and
brother-in-law, who were married in 1951.
Before the Kings donation, the couple
took care of their extended family.
The longtime owners of the former Gusti-
tus Drug Store in Exeter had grown up in
families with several siblings.
Katarsky, who was named trustee of the
Gustituses estate, said the estate money
was first directed to be used by family mem-
bers who needed financial assistance or
wanted to go to college. After a fewhundred
thousands dollars was paid out, around
$473,000 remained.
Katarsky said the final amount wasnt to
be released until several years after his sis-
ters death, but he didnt want taxes and oth-
er expenses to deplete what the Gustituses
hoped would go to Kings.
Now, the money will continue on (for a
long time), Katarsky said.
Victoria Gustitus died in 2009.
Norbert Gustitus graduated from Exeter
High School and the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy and Science. He served during
World War II in the U.S. Army and worked at
several area pharmacies before opening his
own business along Wyoming Avenue,
where his parents owned a shoe store and
caf.
He died in November 1997.
Katarsky said his sister met her future
husband through a mutual friend, and they
were married in 1951.
Victoria Gustitus had worked for the Blue
Ribbon Bakery in Kingston and later joined
her husband at the pharmacy until her re-
tirement.
They were generous people, Katarsky
said. They ran the drug store and met a lot
of people along the way, some who didnt
have money who they would help.
Katarsky said his sister and brother-in-law
were committed to their business and the
community, and traveled only occasionally
to a cottage they owned in Falls.
They enjoyed the (pharmacy) and the
people that went there the most, Katarsky
said.

a countyjudge toallowthe listing
in an auction last August, said
Northeast owner John Rodgers.
The properties were pulled
when Airport Office President
Steven Yankowski filed for bank-
ruptcy a day before the sale.
Rodgers said his company has
since convinced a bankruptcy
judge to authorize the properties
listing in the back-tax auction
this Thursday.
However, Airport Office re-
cently filed court paperwork ask-
ing the judge to hold off again.
After a hearing last week, a
bankruptcy judge ruled the prop-

Thursdays sale if Airport Office
pays $50,000 toward the debt by
4 p.m. today, Rodgers said.
The company had not paid as
of 4:30 p.m. Monday, Northeast
Revenue said.
Were willing to fight to the
max to get these properties list-
ed. Well fight at every stop,
Rodgers said.
Airport Office bought the two
properties for a combined
$215,000 in December 2001.
The company owes $176,170
on the Pittston Township build-
ing, which previously housed
WARM radio, and $122,324 on
the Avoca property once used for
an animal emergency clinic.
Airport Office had paid a por-
tion of the taxes on the Pittston
Township building but has paid
nothing on the Avoca building
from 2003 forward.
The bankruptcy filing says the
properties are near the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International
Airport and Interstate 81, but tax
assessments precluded the own-
er from offering competitive
lease rates.
The assessed values are
$246,100 on the Avoca property
and $600,000 on the Pittston
Township one.
The owner has secured
$250,000 in financing, with plans
to convert one of the buildings to
a business incubator for small-
er businesses or short-termoffice
space, the bankruptcy filing says.
Bids on the properties are set
tostart at $657.25 eachif they are
listed Thursday. Mortgages and
other liens are forgiven in this
type of final-stage auction,
known as free-and-clear sale.
Rodgers, an attorney, said his
company actively monitors court
cases to ensure stale or unneces-
sarily drawn-out proceedings
arent keeping properties out of
sales.
The company also retains a
bankruptcy lawyer at no addi-
tional charge. Northeast Revenue
is paid through a 5 percent penal-
ty already added to overdue tax-
es.
Rodgers said the county didnt
have the resources to aggressive-
ly push for sales when it handled
tax claim in-house.
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
An office complex on John Street in Avoca is one of two owned by the same company that could be
listed for a tax auction on Thursday.
PROPERTIES
when you try hard things, sur-
prising things happen.
Washington gridlock
Social Security is ensnared in
the same debate over taxes and
spending that has gripped Wash-
ington for years. Liberal advo-
cates and some Democrats say
benefit cuts should be off the ta-
ble.
Conservative activists and
some Republicans say tax in-
creases are out of the question.
Others, including a deficit
commissioncreatedby President
Barack Obama in 2010, have
called for a combination of tax in-
creases and cuts to future bene-
fits, including raising the retire-
ment age again.
About 56 million people get
Social Security benefits today;
that is projected to grow to 91
million in 2035.
For nearly three decades Social
Security produced big surpluses,
collecting more in taxes from
workers thanit paidinbenefits to
retirees, disabled workers, spous-
es and children.
But Social Security trustees
project that the surplus, now val-
ued at $2.7 trillion, will be gone
in 2033. At that point, Social Se-
curity would only collect enough
tax revenue each year to pay
about 75 percent of benefits, un-
less Congress acts.
Once Social Securitys surplus
is gone, the programis scheduled
to pay out $134 trillion more in
benefits than it will collect in tax-
es over the next 75 years, accord-
ing to data from the agency. Ad-
justed for inflation, thats $30.5
trillion in 2012 dollars.
The options for closing the gap
fall into two broad categories:
cutting benefits or raising taxes.
There are, however, many op-
tions within each category.
The AP used data from the So-
cial Security Administration to
calculate how much of the short-
fall would be eliminated by vari-
ous options. To illustrate howSo-
cial Securitys long-termfinances
have become worse in the past
two years, the AP also calculated
the share of the shortfall that
would have been eliminated, if
the options had been adopted in
2010.
Social Security is financed by a
12.4 percent tax on wages. Work-
ers pay half and their employers
pay the other half. The tax is ap-
plied to the first $110,100 of a
workers wages, a level that in-
creases each year with inflation.
For 2011 and 2012, the tax rate
for employees was reduced to 4.2
percent, but is scheduled to re-
turn to 6.2 percent in January.
Options for improvement
Apply the Social Security tax
to all wages, including those
above $110,100. Workers making
$200,000 in wages would get a
taxincrease of $5,574, anamount
their employers would have to
match. Their future benefits
would increase, too. This option
wouldeliminate 72percent of the
shortfall. Two years ago, it would
have wiped out 99 percent.
Increase the payroll tax by
0.1 percentage point a year, until
it reaches 14.4 percent in 20
years. At that point, workers mak-
ing$50,000a year wouldget a tax
increase of $500 and employers
would have to match it. This op-
tion would eliminate 53 percent
of the shortfall. Two years ago, it
wouldhavewipedout 73percent.
Workers qualify for full re-
tirement benefits at age 66, a
threshold that gradually rises to
67 for people born in 1960 or lat-
er. Workers are eligible for early
retirement at 62, thoughmonthly
benefits are reduced by about 25
percent. The reductions shrink
the longer you wait to apply.
Gradually raise the full retire-
ment age to 68 in 2033. This op-
tion would eliminate 15 percent
of the shortfall. Two years ago, it
would have eliminated a little
more than 20 percent.
Gradually raise the full re-
tirement age to 69 in 2039 and 70
in 2063. This option would elim-
inate 37 percent of the shortfall.
Two years ago, it would have
eliminated about half.
Eachyear, if consumer prices
increase, Social Security benefits
go up as well. By law, the increas-
es are pegged to an inflation in-
dex. This year, benefits went up
by 3.6 percent, the first increase
since 2009. Adopt a newinflation
index called the Chained CPI,
which assumes that people
change their buying habits when
prices increase to reduce the im-
pact on their pocketbooks. The
new index would reduce the an-
nual COLA by 0.3 percentage
point, on average. This option
would eliminate19 percent of the
have eliminated 26 percent.
Tinkering with the benefit
formula can save big money, but
cuts to initial benefits mean low-
er monthly payments for the rest
of a retirees life. The average
monthly benefit for a new retiree
is $1,264.
Change the calculation for
initial benefits, but only for peo-
ple with lifetime wages above the
national average, which is about
$42,000 a year. Workers with
higher incomes would still get a
bigger monthly benefit than low-
er paid workers but not as big as
under current law. Its a cut they
would feel throughout their en-
tire retirement. This option
wouldeliminate 34percent of the
have eliminated almost half.
CHOICES
LOS ANGELES Tony
Scott, director of such Holly-
woodhits as TopGun, Days
of Thunder and Beverly
Hills Cop II, died Sunday af-
ter jumping from a towering
suspension bridge spanning
Los Angeles harbor and leav-
ing behind several notes to
loved ones, authorities said.
The 68-year-old Scotts
death was being investigated
as a suicide, Los Angeles
County Coroners Lt. Joe Bale
said.
I can confirm that Tony
Scott has passed away. The
family asks that their privacy
is respected at this time,
Scotts spokesman, Simon
Halls, said in a statement.
An autopsy is scheduled for
Monday, coroners Chief of
Operations Craig Harvey said.
He said investigators located
several notes to loved ones
that Scott left in his car and at
another location, but that they
were not described in initial
reports as suicide notes.
He said Scott parked his car
at the crest of the bridge,
which is 185 feet above water,
before leaping to his death.
Several people called 911
around 12:35 p.m. to report
that someone had jumped
from the Vincent Thomas
Bridge spanning San Pedro
and Terminal Island in Los
Angeles Harbor, according to
police Lt. Tim Nordquist.
A dive team with Los An-
geles Port Police pulled the
body from the murky water
several hours later, Nordquist
said. Scotts body was taken to
a dock in Wilmington and
turned over to the county cor-
oners office.
One lane of the eastbound
side of the bridge was closed
to traffic during the investiga-
tion. Cargo vessels moved at
reduced speeds through the
east side of the ports main
channel during the search,
said Los Angeles Fire Depart-
ment spokesman Brian Hum-
phrey.
The British-bornScott, who
lived in Beverly Hills, was pro-
ducer and director Ridley
Scotts younger brother. Dis-
tinct visual styles mark both
siblings films Ridley Scott

tire worlds with such films as
Gladiator, Blade Runner,
Alien and this years Pro-
metheus, Tony Scott known
for hyper-kinetic action and
editing on such films as his
most recent, the runaway
train thriller Unstoppable,
starring regular collaborator
Denzel Washington.
Scott was a thrill-seeker
himself in his personal life, an
avid rock climber who also
liked driving fast cars and mo-
torcycles. Still, filmmaking
was his real thrill.
The biggest edge I live on
is directing. Thats the most
scary, dangerous thing you
can do in your life, Scott said
in an interviewfor his1995 na-
val adventureCrimsonTide.

NEW YORK A federal judge in
Austin, Texas, threw out Lance Arm-
strongs lawsuit against the U.S. Anti-
Doping Agency on Monday, a decision
that allows the agencys drug case
against the seven-time Tour de France
winner to move
ahead.
Armstrong, who re-
peatedly has denied
doping, claimed in
his lawsuit that USA-
DA lacked jurisdic-
tion and its arbitra-
tion process violates
his constitutional rights.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks dis-
missed the lawsuit as speculative.
With respect to Armstrongs due
process challenges, the court agrees
they are without merit, Sparks wrote
in a 30-page order. Alternatively, even
if the court has jurisdiction over Arm-
strongs remaining claims, the court
finds they are best resolved through
the well-established system of interna-
tional arbitration, by those with ex-
pertise in the field, rather than by the
unilateral edict of a single nations
courts.
Armstrong can try to overturn
Sparks decision by going to the 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New
Orleans. He also can agree to proceed
with USADAs arbitration or accept its
sanctions.
In a governing body turf war, the
International Cycling Union (UCI)
says it has jurisdiction in the Arm-
strong matter, not USADA. USADA
could be challenged before the Court
of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.
Armstrong was still considering his
options.
On balance, the court finds the
USADA arbitration rules, which large-
C YC L I N G
Armstrongs case vs. USADA dismissed

by going to the 5th U.S. Circuit

owthat the votes are infor the
final group of monikers still in
the running to be placednext to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres proudbaseball
name, the final verdict isnt just near, its
clear.
These six names stink.
Cmon, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Blast?
This isnt some Euro soccer team.
Porcupines? Black DiamondBears?
They soundtoo close to a couple of
LehighValley teams.
The Triple-AIronPigs already have
pork sandwiches, so sorry Porcupines.
Andthere was once a short-livedinde-
pendent league teamnamedthe Lehigh
Valley Black Diamonds. Were already
trying to copy LehighValleys stadium
design, so cant we get a little bit more
original withthe teams nickname?
Fireflies, Pennsylvanias official state
insect, wouldcertainly do it.
But do we really want our baseball
teamnamedafter a friendly little bug?
Since they promise to be more friend-
ly to area fans, RailRiders kindof goes
against that trainof thought. Sounds
like a teamready to hop onboardand
headout of town.
The last suggestion, Trolley Frogs
might be neat. If anybody actually knew
what a trolley frog was. Turns out its
actually a mechanical part of a trolley,
not a line of dancing frogs.
So while disdainfor all those pro-
posednicknames dances throughthe
headof most NortheasternPennsylva-
nia baseball fans, here are a fewpropos-
als people inthe Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
area have beentwittering about.
Howabout The Potholes?
Everybody knows theyve arrivedin
NortheasternPennsylvania whentheir
cars start colliding withthose teeth-
rattling craters carving up our roads.
The name Potholes is almost synony-
mous withthe Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
area. Teamofficials cancelebrate it by
serving some beef, chickenor turkey pot
pie at the ballpark. Andjust as a remind-
er of what our teamrepresents, theres
always annoying constructioncausing
traffic delays slowing Interstate 81traf-
fic onthe way to outside PNCFieldin
attempts to fix what else potholes.
Next up, youve heardof the RedSox?
Well, weve got the National Laughing
Stocks.
Call it a tribute to the teamthat cant
finda home, eveninits ownballpark.
What professional franchise witha
roster of players just a step away from
the big leagues, no less plays a full
seasononthe roadbecause its own
stadiumis undergoing renovationall
summer? Why, the same teamthat was
forcedto play a fewhome games at
LehighValley a couple of years ago
because nobody realizeda drainage
systembuilt for artificial turf just might
have problems whenthe surface was
switchedto natural grass. Laughit up at
the ballpark witha yearly comedian
night, whenthe punchline always cen-
ters aroundwhichopposing stadium
will become Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
home next?
Everyones sure to feel right at home
watching the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
GrandJuries.
Heck, commissioners frombothcoun-
ties got caught up incorruptionscan-
dals andwent straight to jail. It wouldnt
take muchinvestigating to knowwhich
area the GrandJuries represent. The
players only ask one thing. Dont judge
themby their record, but by perform-
ance they promise to keep clean.

Will Lucas threw a no-hitter to lead
Fairfield, Conn., past New Castle,

The 12-year-old right-hander
struck out 13 and also had a two-run

he fell to the ground as his team-

Lucas was effective changing

Manager Eric Smith told me you
cant go up there thinking walk-off

lining up aroundthe plate to pat him

The skippers son, 13-year-old

Vick had X-rays on
his ribs after being
knocked down by line-

Young Award winner.
Domonic Brown hit a go-
ahead two-run double off Mike
Leake (5-8) in a four-run fifth.
Mayberry had three hits and
three RBIs, Chase Utley, Ho-
ward and Kratz each drove in
two and Juan Pierre had three
hits and three runs.
The Phillies have won seven
straight over the Reds and12 of
13, dating to 2010. This was
their first meeting this season.
The NL-Central leading Reds
lost for just the third time in11
games.
The five-time defending NL
East champions have won three
straight, but are eight games
under .500.
After the Reds took a 5-4 lead
in the fifth, the Phillies answer-
ed in the bottomhalf.
Pierre singled and scored on
Utleys RBI double. After Ho-
ward was intentionally walked,
Mayberry ripped an RBI single
to tie it. Brown followed with a
shot down the line that scored
two to chase Leake and give
Philadelphia a 7-5 lead.
Leake allowed seven runs and
10 hits in 41-3 innings.
Utley hit a sacrifice fly in the
sixth and Mayberry connected
off Jose Arredondo to extend
the lead to10-5.
The Reds loaded the bases in
the first on three straight singles
to start the game. Jay Bruce
then ripped a line-drive double
off the right-field wall that
shouldve scored two. But Chris
Heisey stopped after rounding
third and was tagged out at the
plate.
Scott Rolens RBI groundout
made it 2-0.
Pierre hit a double, stole third
and scored on Howards two-out
single to cut it to 2-1in the bot-
tomhalf.
Howard drove one way out to
right to tie it at 2 in the third.
Kratz went deep to left-center to
make it 3-2 in the fourth.
Kratz has seven homers in 61
at-bats. The 32-year-old local
boy has turned into a fan favor-
ite in his first extended action in
the big leagues after 11seasons
in the minors. Filling in for
All-Star catcher Carlos Ruiz,
Kratz is hitting .295 with more
extra-bases (13) than singles
(5).
Cincinnati scored three runs
with two outs in the fifth on
Heiseys RBI double, Bruces
RBI single and a botched run-
down that allowed Phillips to
score after Bruce was picked off
first.
Rockies 3, Mets1
NEWYORKTyler Colvin
hit a tying homer off R.A. Dick-
ey in the fifth inning then made
a diving play in the eighth to
preserve the lead, and the Col-
orado Rockies beat the New
York Mets.
Jonathan Herrera bunted for a
hit in the top of the eighth and
made his way around the bases
with help fromsome inept de-
fense to give Colorado a 2-1lead.
Colvins first home run in105
at-bats, denied the knuckleball-
er a chance at his16th win and
helped the Rockies to their sixth
victory in eight games.
The loss dropped the Mets
(57-65) into a third-place tie
with Philadelphia in the NL
East, 181-2 games behind first-
place Washington.
With Michael Cuddyer the
latest Colorado player to go on
the disabled list, Colvin was
playing first base. He made a
lunging stop on pinch-hitter
Jordany Valdespins sharp
grounder just inside the bag
with the bases loaded and his
toss to reliever Matt Belisle just
beat a diving Valdespin to the
bag. Valdepsin jumped up, wav-
ing his arms in disbelief, and
manager Terry Collins engaged
first base umpire Lance Barks-
dale in a prolonged discussion.
Rafael Betancourt, the Rock-
ies fifth pitcher, put two run-
ners on before getting Mike
Baxter to fly out to center fin-
ishing his 24th save.
Guillermo Moscoso gave up a
hit in 21-3 innings, Rex Brothers
(7-2) allowed a hit in11-3 in-
nings and Belisle got one big out
for the Rockies.
Alex White was done after
four wild, but effective innings
under manager JimTracys
four-man rotation. He allowed
three hits and two walks on 83
pitches 46 strikes. Tracy has
been limiting his pitchers to
about 75 tosses a game.
The teamcould go back to a
five-man rotation soon. Jhoulys
Chacin (pectoral nerve irrita-
tion) is scheduled to make his
first start since May1on Tues-
day and DrewPomeranz will
make his next start Friday, Tra-
cy said. Depending on how
Chacin does, all five could re-
main.

BOSTON The slumping
Boston Red Sox will have a
new pitching coach for the re-
mainder of their tumultuous
first season under manager
Bobby Valentine.
Bob McClure was fired Mon-
dayandreplacedbyRandyNie-
mann with the Red Sox on the
fringeof theplayoff racefollow-
ing another rough stretch.
We felt like we needed to
make a change toput our pitch-
ers in the best position to do
what they needed to do, gen-
eral manager Ben Cherington
said. The next six weeks are
important to create a founda-
tion going into the offseason.
We felt like this change was
needed to give ourselves the
best chance to do that.
The Red Sox have lost 12 of
18 games this month to fall off
the pace in the competitive AL
East. Bostons 4.30 team ERA
was 11th in the American
League heading into Mondays
games.
This is a performance-
based decision, Cherington
said. As I said yesterday,
theres been a real good effort
on the part of the staff to work
together and iron out any com-
munication issues that may
have existed previously. This
decision had nothing to do
with that.
Boston has struggled in its
first year under Valentine, who
took over in December after
agreeing to a two-year deal
with club options for 2014 and
2015.
Popular infielder Kevin You-
kilis had a public dustup with
Valentine before he was traded
to the White Sox, and Yahoo
Sports reported that several
players met with owner John
Henry and teampresident Lar-
ry Lucchino in New York last
month to complain about the
managers handling of the
team.
The Red Sox (59-63) were
off Monday and host the Los
Angeles Angels in the opener
of a three-game series on Tues-
day night.
The 60-year-old McClure be-
came the pitching coach in De-
cember. He also spent six sea-
sons in the same position with
the Kansas City Royals. The
left-hander was 68-57 with 52
saves and a 3.81 ERA in19 sea-
sons in the majors.
Niemann was elevated from
assistant pitching coach. He is
in his first year with Boston af-
ter spending 24 seasons in the
New York Mets organization.
Randys got a lot of experi-
ence, too, Cherington said.
He knows our guys well.

Monday.
He was released hours lat-
er on $500 bail.
Pineda went to the Yan-
kees in the offseason trade
that sent catcher Jesus

training facility after hurt-
ing his shoulder in March
and has not pitched in a

Titans pick Locker
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Ten-
nessee Titans have picked Jake Locker
as their starter over veteran Matt Has-
selbeck, choosing to wait no further to
play the quarterback they drafted in
2011 for their future.
Coach Mike Munchak announced
the decision after practice Monday,
saying Lockers time is now in giving
the Titans their best chance to win the
AFC South.
The Titans had let the quarterbacks
compete through the offseason with
each starting a game each this presea-
son. Munchak says Hasselbeck was
way ahead of Locker last season. But
Locker caught up and won the job with
his ability to move the team and score
points.
The eighth pick overall in 2011. He
will play 40 to 50 snaps Thursday night
against Arizona with three weeks to
prep for the opener Sept. 9 against
New England.
No alcohol, illegal drugs
found in Seaus system
SAN DIEGO No alcohol or illegal
drugs were found in Junior Seaus
system when he shot and killed himself
at his home in May, authorities said
Monday.
The full autopsy results were re-
leased by the San Diego County med-
ical examiners office in a 16-page re-
port for the former NFL linebacker
who was found by his girlfriend with a
single gunshot wound to his chest.
Seau did have Zolpidem, often found
in the sleeping aid Ambien, and traces
of the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen
in his system when he died that were
consistent with therapeutic use,
wrote Deputy Medical Examiner Craig
Nelson.
The autopsy showed no underlying
hemorrhaging or contusions on Seaus
brain, which appeared to be normal.
His family has donated some of his
brain tissue for research amid ques-
tions about whether any damage from
his 20-year football career played some
factor in his suicide.
Questions remain about why Seau,
43, decided to kill himself on May 2 at
his suburban Oceanside home. No
suicide note was found, according to
the autopsy report, and family and
friends said Seau didnt appear dis-
traught or depressed.
Investigators said the gun Seau used
to kill himself was an unregistered
.357-caliber revolver that had five hol-
low-point bullets inside. They also
found his cellphone lying on his bed.
The phone had its memory chip mis-
sing.
Giants insist they werent
hazing Amukamara
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. While
they understand the publics concern
over what might be perceived as an
apparent hazing incident involving
Prince Amukamara, several New York
Giants insist that throwing the second-
year cornerback into a tub of ice water
was a football tradition and not bully-
ing.
Amukamara and Jason Pierre-Paul,
the Pro Bowl defensive end who threw
him into the metal ice tub, said Mon-
day they are friends and there was
nothing personal involved.
However, both are concerned that
the video of the incident tweeted by
punter Steve Weatherford might give
youngsters the idea that bullying and
hazing are OK.
Weatherford posted the video of the
incident that took place in training
camp a couple of weeks ago on Sat-
urday night. He took it down Sunday
and apologized Monday to teammates
and fans.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake
Locker drops back to pass during a
preseason game against the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers Friday in Tampa, Fla.
Locker was tabbed as the Titans
starter on Monday.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Hes shown
plenty of arm strength and an ability to
bounce back after a hard hit. Now, Pey-
ton Manning and the rest of the Denver
Broncos sputtering offense need to
work out the kinks.
In seven drives with Manning under
center, theyve scored just one touch-
down and turned the ball over four
times.
Were just lucky its preseason, wide
receiver Brandon Stokley said. Well
get back to work and well work hard,
like weve worked this whole offseason
and training camp, and well get better.
The good news is that its the offense
thats flimsy, not his neck or arm.
Manning is deciphering defenses as
well as ever, getting the ball out as
quickly as he always has and he almost
always makes the right read. Hes com-
pleted 67 percent of his passes and the
Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro32) are
moving the chains better than they ever
did with Tim Tebow.
Yet, theres still lots of work to do.
Five months into his comeback in
Colorado, Mannings timing with his
targets isnt where hed like it to be. And
the three teammates he has the most
rhythm with wide receiver Eric
Decker and former Colts teammates
Stokley and Jacob Tamme have all
made big blunders in the Broncos two
preseason games.
Stokley rounded out a route that led
to aninterceptionat the goal line inChi-
cago, and Decker and Tamme dropped
passes that stalled a promising 2-min-
ute drive inside the Seattle 10.
Its frustrating not to be able to fin-
ish, Manning said.
All three of his intended targets took
the blame, as did tight end Joel Drees-
sen for a ball that sailed way over his
head and was easily picked off by Sea-
hawks safety Jeron Johnson.
Ive got to find a way to make that
catch, honestly, Dreessen said. I kind
of stuckmyhandupthere andI was like,
I dont know if I can reach it. I looked
like I gator-armed it.
Mannings other interception Satur-
day night came when left guard Zane
Beadles failed to engage defensive end
RedBryant, who reachedbothhands up
and deflected Mannings pass into the
arms of linebacker K.J. Wright at the
Seattle 9.
Ever the gentleman, Manning up-
braided only himself.
At the end of the day, theyre inter-
ceptions, Manning said. The quarter-
back signs the check on every ball he
throws. Theres an old saying that the
most important part of every play is to
possess the ball at the end of that play.
Thats the quarterbacks job. I have todo
a better job of that.
So for all those radio callers finding
fault with Manning, hes with you.
Two interceptions. Two in the red
zone, twoweeks ina row. Just cant have
it, Manning said. Tipped balls, what-
ever it is. Cant have it. Got to find a way
to protect the ball better, ensure we get
some kind of points when were down
there in the red zone.
Manning looks like Peyton of old

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Inju-

fensive starters out of the Chiefs
season-opener against Atlanta.
Now, a suspension has sidelined
their best pass rusher.
Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba
Hali will miss the Sept. 9 game
against the Falcons without pay
after violating the NFLs sub-
stance-abuse policy, the league
saidMonday. Hali will befinedan
additional
game check
and be eligible
to return in
Week 2.
The league
did not disclose
the nature of
the violation
andHali didnot
speak to the media after practice,
instead issuing a one-paragraph
statement through the team.
I accept the discipline from
the league andwill returnWeek 2
of the NFLseasonwitha commit-
ment to erase this mistake with
my play on the field and my con-
duct off of it, Hali said.
The Chiefs are already missing
starting cornerback Brandon
Flowers, who has been sidelined
by a nagging foot injury, and safe-
ty Kendrick Lewis, who hurt his
right shoulder in Friday nights
preseason game against St.
Louis. Its unknown when either
of them will be back.
Its perfectly clear when Hali
will return: at Buffalo onSept. 16.
Tambas situation is unfortu-
nate, Chiefs general manager
Scott Pioli said in a statement.
Obviously we are disappointed
and will miss himduring the sus-
pension, but the NFLs policies
are very clear and we respect the
leagues decision in this matter.
Hali long ago established him-
self as the Chiefs best pass rush-
er, reachinghis first ProBowl last
season alongside fellowlineback-
er Derrick Johnson.
The former first-round draft
pick has started every game hes
played the past six seasons. The
past two years have been his best
Hali had 14

ago and 12 last season, when he
helped a teamravaged by injuries
to the doorstep of the playoffs.
Were disappointed. Were dis-
appointed for him, for the team,
for the organization and the fans,
but it is what it is, Chiefs coach
Romeo Crennel said. Hes a guy
who is very prideful, hes been a
very good team member for this
team, and I think the team will
rally around him.
Indeed, Hali has become one of
the faces of the franchise, even
though he goes about his busi-
ness away from the spotlight.

DAVIE, Fla. With his NFL debut
still more than two weeks away, Ryan
Tannehill can already boast of an
achievement unprecedented among
Miami Dolphins quarterbacks: He won
a starting job in his first training camp.
New coach Joe Philbin gave Tanne-
hill the job Monday, meaning the Dol-
phins will have a rookie QB start a sea-
son opener for the first time when they
play at Houston on Sept. 9.
Not even Pro Football Hall of Fam-
ers Dan Marino or Bob Griese started
the first game of their rookie season.
Tannehill beat out Matt Moore, who
started the final 12 games last year.
It was a close competition, Philbin
said of his biggest decision so far as a
head coach. Youre trusting your in-
stincts in terms of whats in the best
interests of the team. ... We like a lot of
things about Ryan. He has a chance to
be a very good player.
Training camp began with a three-
way competition at quarterback, but
veteran David Garrard fell out of con-
tention when he underwent minor
knee surgery Aug. 11.
Tannehill, who played at Texas
A&M, was drafted with the eighth
overall pick, which made him the first
quarterback taken in the opening
round by the Dolphins since Marino in
1983.
Marino retired following the 1999
season, and the Dolphins (No. 27 in
the AP Pro32) have since had more
starting quarterbacks than any other
team. Tannehill will be the 17th
easy to remember because he wears
No. 17.
He started the Dolphins second ex-
hibition game Friday at Carolina and
went 11 for 23 for 100 yards. Through
two preseason games hes 25 for 47 for
267 yards and one score, while Moore
is 12 for 27 for 136 yards and one in-
terception.
We took into account the entire
body of work of everybody since
April, Philbin said.
The offense sputtered in the two
games, both losses.
Even Moore has become a fan of
Tannehill.
The guy has got the talent to be in
the league, Moore said shortly before
Philbin announced that Tannehill will
be the starter. He obviously under-
stands the game very well. Hes capa-
ble of being a starting quarterback in
the NFL. Theres no doubt about that.
And he works his butt off. So hes got
everything you want.

Normally, it leads to an incompletion

tory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sun-

Ive been working on my hands, Tay-
lor said.
He didnt really have a choice.
Taylor has beena fixture inthe Steelers
secondary over the last decade, his phys-
ical style of play making him one of the
mostintimidatingnottomentiondura-
ble cornerbacks in the league. Despite

Its theonlysignificant holeina resume
that includes a pair of Super Bowl rings,
one Taylor would love to finally fill while
servingas theanchor onadefensethat ex-
pects to be one of the best in the NFL yet
again.
Yeah, youwant tobe recognized, Tay-
lor said. Really, though, all I can do is
what I can do.
And what Taylor thinks he can do fi-
nally is holdonto the ball. His inability
to come up with even the easiest of inter-
ceptions has become somewhat of a run-
ning joke in the locker room, where Tay-
lors teammates good-naturedly feigned
surprise after just the second pick six of
his career.
Though its just the preseason, Taylor
wasnt about to minimize the importance
of theplay. Hedidnt pickoff just anybody,
he was the first NFL player to intercept

it while covering five-time Pro Bowler

Not exactly no-names.
Taylors theft was textbook. He stuck

CoachDickLeBeaualways tells youto
stay close to the receiver, and when the
ball comes your wayyouhave tocatchthe
ball, Taylor said. I turned around and
the ball was right there. I just hadtomake
sure I caught it.
Something Taylor and the rest of his
teammates failed to do with any regular-
ityin2011. WhiletheSteelers(No. 7inthe
AP Pro32) finished first in the league in
yards allowed, they were last in take-
aways, producing 15 turnovers. Taylor

MADISON, Wis. Danny
OBrienseems tohaveaknackfor
taking care of the ball and Wis-
consin coach Bret Bielema is re-
warding him for it.
Bielema has named the Mary-
land transfer his starting quarter-
back for Wisconsins regular-sea-
son opener against Northern Io-
wa on Sept. 1.
The coach took to Twitter on
Sunday night, saying that the ju-
nior earned the job ahead of se-
nior Curt Phillips and redshirt
freshman Joel Stave.
OBrien said Monday that he
felt confident in his ability to
clinch the spot.
I think I went into the compe-
tition with the mentality that Im
going to start and just kind of fo-
cus on myself, he said. I didnt
know when the (starter) was go-
ing to be named, and I just want-
ed to work every day. But I was
happy to hear it, but now the
work really starts and weve got
to move forward.
OBrien had two interceptions
in a pair of seven-on-seven drills
through three weeks of fall camp.
That number, coupled with game
experience in 17 starts at Mary-
land, pushed Bielema and assist-
ant coaches in OBriens direc-
tion.
The No. 1 thing probably, by
far, (was) turnovers, Bielema
said. A lot of those guys were in
double digits withturnovers with
practice. AndthenI think just the
presence hes shown since hes
been here.
OBrien announced his deci-
sion to transfer to Wisconsin in
March and moved to Madison for
summer workouts inJune. Hefol-
lowed in the footsteps of Russell
Wilson, a North Carolina State
transfer who played last season
for the Badgers. Wilson helped
lead the team to an 11-3 record,
the Big Ten Conference cham-
pionshipanda Rose Bowl appear-
ance.
OBrien, who has two seasons
of eligibility remaining, seeks to
make an impact of his own.
To be a part of this team is a
privilege in itself, but to be
named starting quarterback here
was something I amproud of just
because its a lot of hard work,
OBrien said. We have a great
quarterback room. It was a really
tough competition, a lot of talent
in that room, which is awesome
and something you want. Im
honored.
Bielema has been impressed
with OBriens maturity and that
he didnt try to gain all this alle-
giance with certain player
groups, in an effort to win the
top job.
Bielema also likes the 6-foot-3,
235-pounders tenacity and mo-
bility to make plays in tough sit-
uations.

The Associated Press Sources: Penn State adds Fla. linebacker
Penn State has picked up another addition to this seasons freshman
class. Linebacker Gary Wooten of Hialeah (Fla.) High School has
committed, according to multiple websites, and is expected to be on
campus this week for practice.
Wooten played his final season at Hialeah in 2010. He fell one core
class short of graduating in 2011 and, even though he made up the
class, decided to sit out last season.
Hialeah coach Marc Berman told the Nittany Nation website that he
received a call last week from Penn State defensive coordinator Ted
Roof inquiring about Wooten, whom Berman said is 6-foot-3 and 225
pounds after playing at 6-2 and 190 in high school.
After the 2010 season, Wooten fielded offers from a number of
schools, including Vanderbilt and Washington State, but was believed
to be deciding between Eastern Michigan and Massachusetts. He did
not, however, commit to any school.
Berman said Florida also had asked him recently about Wooten.
Earlier this month, Penn State received a commitment from 5-11,
220-pound linebacker Brennan Franklin of Peoria, Ariz., for this
seasons freshman class.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Ramon Ortiz
picked up his 12th win of the sea-
son and Brandon Laird and
Eduardo Nunez each drove home
two runs as Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre won its fifth consecutive
game, beating the Buffalo Bisons
7-5 in the opening game of a two
game home series for the Yan-
kees. In the process, the Yankees
magic number toclinchthe Inter-
national League North Division
championship dropped to nine.
Buffalo struck first in the top of
the second inning with two out
and no one on when Matt Tuiaso-
sopo took an Ortiz offering over
the wall in left-center, driving in
Josh Satin for a 2-0 Bisons lead.
The Yankees chipped away
against Buffalos Chris Schwin-
den (7-9).
Melky Mesa extended his hit-
ting streak to seven games with
his fifth homer of the season, a
two-out blast off the batters eye
incenterfieldinthe bottomof the
second. Brandon Laird tied the
game at 2-2 in the fourth with a
leadoff homer off Schwinden.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
grabbed a 4-2 lead in the fifth on
back-to-back, two-out RBI sin-
gles from Eduardo Nunez and
Laird. Schwindens night was
done after the fifth inning but the
Yankees were not done scoring.
Chris Dickerson and Nunez
added RBI in the bottom of the
sixth inning off reliever C.J. Nit-
kowski to run the score to 6-2.
Dickerson got a run home on a
fielders choice before Nunez
addedhis secondRBI of the night
with a two-out single.
Austin Romine added his
fourth RBI of the season in the
bottom of the eighth to close out
the scoring for the Yankees.
Buffalo added a run in the sev-
enth inning when a sacrifice fly
from Satin brought home Adam
Loewen. The Bisons scored two
more in the ninth on a wild pitch
from Ryota Igarashi and an in-
field single from Matt Den Dekk-
er, but could get no closer than
7-5.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre contin-
ues five straight games in Buffalo
with the second game of the
home series today at 1:05 p.m.
Left-hander Justin Thomas

runs in the sixth to tie it at 4.
Emil Matti homered and David
Ton had an RBI single.
Californias Logan Douglas
struck out four in 2 1-3 scoreless
innings to set up Marzos win-
ning homer. Smith went 2 for 3
with a two-run single in the
fourth.
Petalumas victory sparked a
celebration in Oaklands club-
house before a night game
against Minnesota. Third base-
man Brandon Inge planted a
whipped cream pie on teammate
Jonny Gomes after the Athletics
watched Marzos big hit. Gomes,
whos from Petaluma, proudly
wore a Petaluma Little League T-
shirt.
The California kids have a flair
for dramatic victories, just like
the As, who have a major league-
leading 20 wins in their final at-
bat.
I dont knowif were watching
them or theyre watching us,
said Gomes, a longtime financial
supporter of the local league. It
must be in the water up here.
Despite the loss, New Jersey
fulfilled the goal the team set
fromthe first day of practice: Get
to South Williamsport.
Like I told the kids, you came
to visit, manager Mike Ruggiero
said. Youre on the best field in
the world and you played on it.
Curacao 4, Canada 3
Trailing3-1inthe fifth, the win-
ners from Willemstad had run-
ners on second and third when
Christopher Koeiman hit a fly
ball to left with one out. Carter
Kada-Wong fell backward to
make the catch, but both runners
had enough time to score.
Jansen then homered to give
Curacao the leadfor goodagainst
Vancouver, British Columbia.
Reliever Rallison Bentura
pitched 2 2-3 scoreless innings to
get the win.
I had the attitude that nobody
could hit me, the 12-year-old
right-hander said through an in-
terpreter.
Cole Dalla-Zanna was the
hard-luck loser for Canada, strik-
ing out nine.
Canada was eliminated but
manager Vito Bordignon wants
his players to be proud of their
showing this year, which includ-
ed a 13-9 win over formidable
Mexico.
Next up for Canada: a little
sightseeing in Pennsylvania.
I just told them they had a
great tournament and to keep
their heads up, Bordignon said.
They represented Canada well.
Mexico 4, Taiwan 3
Mexico scored three runs in
the third to take the lead, includ-
ing two on a throwing error, and
went on to the victory against
Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Mexico loaded the bases after
tying it at 2 on an error. In the
next at-bat, Taiwans catcher
tried to run back a runner who
had strayed off first, but the ball
slipped from his hand on a fake
throw and dribbled into right
field. Two runs scored to give
Mexico a 4-2 lead.
Chun-Hsiao Chen hit an RBI
single in the fourth, but Mexico
center fielder Fernando Bena-
vides cut down the potential ty-
ing run at the plate.
Taiwans Cheng-Feng Lee

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Car-
oline Wozniacki remains unde-
feated at the New Haven Open.
The four-time defending
champion beat Ekaterina Maka-
rova 6-3, 6-3 in the first round
Monday, her 18th consecutive
victory at the tournament.
She first entered the event in
2008 when it was known as the
Pilot Pen.
Everythingabout the tourna-
ment and around the tourna-
ment just makes me feel at
home and makes me feel like I
can play well here, she said.
Wozniacki was broken in the
opening game, but won the next
five to take control of the first
set.
Makarova got another early
break in the second to go up 2-0,
but Wozniacki rallied again, get-
ting a break to tie the set 2-2, an-
other in the seventh game to
take the lead and a third to close
the match.
The 22-year-old Dane had to
play in the first round for the
first time since 2009, after being
seeded third behind Agnieszka
Radwanska and Petra Kvitova.
I think the last few years Ive
had a bit of an easier opponent
in the first round Ive played
Bye, she said. Im pretty com-
fortable playing Bye. This year,
unfortunately, Bye wasnt
there.
She will face Sofia Arvidsson
of Sweden in the second round.
Arvidsson beat Melanie Oudin
6-4, 6-1.

GREENSBORO, N.C.
Rainy weather left Sergio Gar-
cia stuck in central North Car-
olina for an extra day. Turns
out, it was worth the hassle
because hes leaving with his
first PGA Tour victory in four
years.
Garcia claimed a two-stroke
win Monday in the water-
logged Wyndham Champion-
ship for his first victory on tour
since the 2008 Players Cham-
pionship.
He finished with a 66 to wind
up at 18-under 262, claim
$936,000 in prize money and
maybe seal a spot on the Eu-
ropean Ryder Cup team.
I think there were a lot of
things going on. It shows a lot
to me, Garcia said. Hopefully,
this will secure my spot on the
Ryder Cup team, and winning
is always nice.
Tim Clark was at 16 under
following his 67 in the final tour
event before the playoffs, and
Bud Cauley finished 15 under
after his 68.
Garcia led both after the
third round and when the
fourth round was held up over-
night due to a persistent down-
pour.
He had three straight late-
round birdies after a bogey
briefly dropped him into a tie
for the lead, and cruised to his
eighth career PGA victory.
Garcia began the decisive
surge on the par-4 No. 13, plop-
ping his chip roughly a foot
from the flagstick and tapping
it in for birdie.
He added another birdie on
No. 15 a pretty chip from a
greenside bunker left him with
a 5-foot putt and followed
that with another birdie on the
par-3 16th after his tee shot
stopped closer than 2 feet from
the stick. He added a birdie on
No. 17 to move to 19 under,
leaving his bogey on the final
hole inconsequential.
It was a bit of redemption for
the 32-year-old Spaniard, who
in his last appearance in
Greensboro in 2009 held a
share of the lead after three
rounds and was up by three
strokes midway through the
round, but let it slip away. He
finished in fourth place.
Yet he didnt necessarily
come back thinking Donald
Ross course at Sedgefield
Country Club owed him one.
That year, I was pretty much
in control and I lost it myself,
Garcia said. The course didnt
do anything wrong to me.
This time, he finished strong
to give a huge boost to his Ryd-
er Cup candidacy. The 10 auto-
matic qualifiers will be set fol-
lowing the Johnny Walker Invi-
tational with Jose Maria Olaza-
bal making two captains picks.
Well see when the team
comes out, but I think my
chances are a little better now,
Garcia said.
Nicolas Colsaerts whose
66 left himat 13 under wants
a spot, too.
When you play rounds like
these and you commit to tour-
naments and you get yourself in
position like this and make the
most of it, it just shows how
much you want it, Colsaerts
said.

KEY WEST, Florida Diana
Nyad slogged across the Straits
of Florida for a third straight day
Monday, advancing toward a
swimming record on calm seas
after enduring a night of stormy
weather.
Nyad, who turns 63 on
Wednesday, is making her third
attempt since last summer to be-
come the first person to swim
from Cuba to Florida without a
shark cage. She also made a
failed try with a cage in 1978.
Shes doing well, a spokes-
woman for the swimmer, Alex
Crotin, said Monday afternoon.
Nyad had been expected to ar-
rive somewhere in the Florida
Keys early Tuesday, though her
team didnt say how much over-
night storms Sunday might de-
lay her.
Her teamtweeted that a storm
had blown Nyad off course and
that all hell broke loose in the
squall.
Monday appeared to be offer-
ing far more ideal conditions,
with blue skies and level seas.
Nyads team tweeted Monday
morning that she was swim-
ming strong in calm seas at 50
strokes per minute. She hit the
48-hour mark in the water on
Monday afternoon; she estimat-
ed it would take at least 60 hours
to reach Florida.
Australian Susie Maroney suc-
cessfully swam the Straits in
1997, but she used a cage. In
June, another Australian, Penny
Palfrey, made it 79 miles (127 ki-
lometers) toward Florida with-
out a cage before strong currents
forced her to abandon the at-
tempt.

Straits between Cuba and the Florida Keys. After being delayed

morning, her team reported that Nyad was back on course in her
effort to be the first swimmer to transit the Florida Straits from
Cuba to the Keys without a shark cage.

ly follow those of the American
Arbitration Association, are suf-
ficiently robust to satisfy the re-
quirements of due process,
Sparks wrote. This court de-
clines to assume either the pool
of potential arbitrators, or the
ultimate arbitral panel itself,
will be unwilling or unable to
render a conscientious decision
based on the evidence before it.
Further, Armstrong has ample
appellate avenues open to him.
He cited a 2001 decision by
the 7th Circuit in Slaney vs. the
International Amateur Athletic
Association, an attempt by run-
ner Mary Decker Slaney to
overturn an arbitration panels
decision that she committed a
doping offense.
Federal courts should not in-
terfere with an amateur sports
organizations disciplinary pro-
cedures unless the organization
shows wanton disregard for its
rules, Sparks said. To hold
otherwise would be to turn fed-
eral judges into referees for a
game in which they have no
place, and about which they
know little.
Sparks also cautioned that
the deficiency of USADAs
charging document is of serious
constitutional concern.
Indeed, but for two facts, the
court might be inclined to find
USADAs charging letter was a
violation of due process and to
enjoin USADA from proceeding
thereunder, he said. First, it
would likely be of no practical
effect: USADA could easily is-
sue a more detailed charging
letter, at which point Arm-
strong would presumably once
again file suit, and the parties
would be back in this exact po-
sition some time later, only
poorer for their legal fees. Sec-
ond, and more important, USA-
DAs counsel represented to the
court that Armstrong will, in
fact, receive detailed disclo-
sures regarding USADAs claims
against him at a time reason-
ably before arbitration.

Farrar of Wenatchee, Wash.,
bolted to the front in the final
100 yards and pedaled to an
unchallenged sprint win and the
race lead Monday in the open-
ing stage of the USA Pro Cy-
cling Challenge.
Farrar (Garmin-Sharp), who
claimed his first Tour de France
stage win last year, captured his
first victory this season in the
125.7-mile road race from Du-
rango in 4 hours, 42 minutes
and 48 seconds.
Italian Alesssandro Bazzana
(Team Type 1-Sanofi) was sec-
ond in stage 1, trailing by sever-
al bike lengths but officially in
the same time.
Damiano Caruso (Liquigas-
Cannnondale) of Italy was third
in the stage that included nearly
11,000 feet of climbing and was
held in periodic light rain.
The seven-day, 683-mile event
continues today with the 99.2-
mile Montrose to Mt. Crested
Butte road race. The undulating
stage features three category 3
climbs, including the final 2-
mile climb to the finish.
Valverde takes Vuelta lead
EIBAR, Spain Alejandro
Valverde of Movistar took the
overall lead at the Spanish Vuel-
ta on Monday after winning the
third stage in a photo finish.
Valverde edged fellow Spa-
niard Joaquim Rodriguez at the
end of the 96-mile mountain
stage from Faustino V to a sum-
mit finish in the Basque town of
Eibar.
Both of us deserved to win,
Valverde said of Rodriguez, who
looked like he was headed for
victory when Valverde made his
last push.
At the end I was able to
come back and win, he said.
He let up a little at the end and
I managed to stick my wheel
out in front.

HOUSTON Roger Clem-
ens isnt done with baseball
quite yet.
The 50-year-old Clemens
signed with the Sugar Land
(Texas) Skeeters of the inde-
pendent Atlantic League on
Monday and he is expected to
start for the minor league
team on Saturday at home
against Bridgeport.
His fastball was clocked at
87 mph; all of his pitches
were working, said Randy
Hendricks, Clemens agent.
He threw a three-inning sim-
ulated game after an exten-
sive workout warm-up.
Clemens and Skeeters man-
ager Gary Gaetti have been
talking about this for
months, Hendricks said.
Clemens is expected to dis-
cuss his decision today during
a news conference in Sugar
Land, about 20 miles south-
west of Houston.
Clemens, who was acquit-
ted in June of charges he lied
to Congress when he denied
using performance-enhancing
drugs, hasnt played for a
team since pitching for the
Yankees in 2007 at the age of
45.
He went 6-6 in 18 games
with a 4.18 ERA that season.
Clemens had two great sea-
sons with the Astros after he
turned 40, going 18-4 with a
2.98 ERA in 2004 to win his
record-tying seventh Cy
Young Award. He was 13-8
with a career-low 1.87 ERA in
2005.
Clemens earned $160 mil-
lion and won 354 games in a
24-year career with the Red
Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays and
Astros. His
4,672 strike-
outs are third-
most all-time
and he was
named to 11
All-Star
games.
Now hell
see what he has left for the
Skeeters, who play in the At-
lantic League. He joins a ros-
ter that includes former major
league pitchers Tim Redding
and Scott Kazmir and Jason
Lane, a teammate of Clemens
on Houstons 2005 World Se-
ries team.
It isnt clear how long
Clemens will pitch for the
Skeeters.
This is a one game at a
time thing, Hendricks said.
Lets see how he does on Sat-
urday.
Clemens is set to appear on
the Hall of Fame ballot going
to voters late this year; if he
appeared in a major league
game his Hall consideration
would be pushed back five
years.
Clemens was accused of us-
ing steroids and HGH in the
Mitchell Report on drugs in
baseball, something he de-
nied. The Justice Department
began an investigation con-
cerning whether Clemens had
lied under oath, and in 2010 a
grand jury indicted him on
two counts of perjury, three
counts of making false state-
ments and one count of ob-
structing Congress when he
testified during a deposition
and at a hearing that he never
used any performance-en-
hancing drugs.
He was acquitted of all the
charges on June 19 after a 10-
week trial and has largely
stayed out of the public spot-
light until now.
The signing was first re-
ported by Houston television
station KRIV.

Apple is biggest market cap
Apple is Wall Streets all-time MVP
thats Most Valuable Property.
On Monday, Apples surging stock
propelled the companys value to $623
billion, the worlds highest, ever. It beat
the record for market capitalization set
by Microsoft Corp. in the heady days of
the Internet boom.
The comparison to Microsoft does
not take inflation into account. In in-
flation-adjusted dollars, the software

Survey: Audits deficient
A five-month inspection by the Pub-
lic Company Accounting Oversight
Board covering a sample of 23 audits of
brokerages done by 10 accounting
firms found deficiencies in all 23 audi-
ts, the board said in a report Monday.
The report covered the boards first
such inspection.
The auditing firms lapses included a
failure to adequately verify how much
financial cushion the brokerages held
against potential losses and the accu-
racy of revenue figures.
Some of the flaws the board revealed
Monday relate to brokerages protec-
tion of customer money.
Airline fare hike sticks
Shares of U.S. airlines gained Mon-
day following a successful attempt to
raise fares to cover the rising cost of
fuel.
Southwest Airlines Co. raised fares
Friday on short routes by $10 per round
trip, and several large airlines quickly
matched the increase. The fare hike
applied to flights of less than 500 miles
each way, or about one-third of South-
wests routes.
Lowes falls short on profit
Lowes Cos., the nations second
largest home improvement retailer,
reported a 10 percent drop in profit and
a 2 percent decline in sales during its
fiscal second-quarter.
Efforts to change merchandising and
pricing are taking longer than expect-
ed. In contrast, Home Depot reported
upbeat results, citing an improvement
in the housing market.
The company cut its full-year-earn-
ings and revenue forecasts.

IT SEEMS THE in-
nocent, carefree days
of smartphone own-
ership are drawing to
a close, and weve got
viruses to thank for it.
No computer sys-
tem is completely immune to being
hacked, and those that routinely con-
nect to strange devices and networks
are essentially sitting ducks for mali-
cious programming. Your Android or
iPhone device fits that to a T.
Not only is it possible to hack into a
smartphone or tablet, in some cases it
can be more lucrative than infecting a
desktop computer, given that people
habitually store banking information
and all sorts of other personal data on
these devices.
With the recent explosion of smart-
phone and tablet sales, hackers have
picked up on that fact and incidents of
malware infection in mobile devices
are on the rise.
People often forget their phones
arent just phones anymore. Theyre
actually computers that happen to be
able to place telephone calls, and just
like any other computer they can con-
tract viruses, malware and spyware.
A typical computer virus might be
able to send spam e-mails, steal per-
sonal information or hijack your
browser. Malware on your mobile
device can do all that and much more.
Instead of just sending spam e-mails, it
could send spam text messages or
possibly even phone calls. It could
monitor inputs to the screen and key-
board, access your location via GPS
essentially a virus can access and use
any capability that a device has.
With the emergence of digital wal-
let technology the danger is magni-
fied, because these devices directly
store credit card information and may
have access to all of the security data
that would normally be required to
process a payment.
Fortunately, anti-virus and anti-
malware software is available. Many
major anti-virus companies offer both
free and paid versions, including Avast
and AVG that can easily be found in
the Android market.
Even so, the best defense is the
same as it would be with any other
computer: Be careful what you down-
load and which websites you visit.
Apps that look like innocuous games
or even wallpapers can harbor viruses.
How can you tell if your device is
already infected? Many of the symp-
toms parallel those youd see in a com-
puter. If your device is acting strange-
ly, or you wind up with apps, photos or
ringtones that you didnt download,
its possible your phone is infected.
In some cases, antivirus software
can put an end to the unwanted behav-
ior. If the malware is deeply en-
trenched, however, it may be neces-
sary to restore the device to its factory
settings.

LOS ANGELES -- Wristwatches
are ticking back to life.
For years, doomsayers predicted
the death of the watch as clock-
equipped cellphones exploded in
popularity. Some said watches
would eventually go the way of
VCRs and the Sony Walkman.
Not so fast.
After a drop during the reces-
sion, watches are experiencing a re-
naissance. Bulky ones have shown
up on red carpets and runway
shows. Retro styles have popped up
on TV shows such as "Mad Men"
and "Boardwalk Empire." And
watch companies are rushing out
with bright colors, newdesigns and
high-tech varieties to suit every
taste.
The Federation of the Swiss
Watch Industry reported that
watch exports from Switzerland
surged 19.2 percent in 2011, one of
its strongest years of growth in the
last two decades. Swatch Group
Ltd. said it was cutting back selling
watch parts to other companies to
meet its own increased demands.
And in yet another sign of the
watchs return, shares of Fossil Inc.,
a popular brand for teens, leaped 31
percent in one day last week after
reporting a 12 percent jump in prof-
it in its second quarter.
Industry watchers say that as
consumers slowly climb out of the
Great Recession, many are hanker-
ing to refresh their wardrobes but
are unwilling to drop big bucks on
entire outfits. Acheap option? Jazz-
ing things up with new accessories
-- especially watches.

Wristwatches still alive, ticking
By SHAN LI

National average gasoline prices rose Mon-
day to the highest average ever for the date --
$3.72 per gallon andcouldrise further by La-
bor Day, experts say.
Retail gasoline prices have risen nearly 12
percent since July 1because of higher oil pric-
es and problems with refineries and pipelines
that created temporary supply shortages in
some regions. An increase in the price of etha-
nol, which is blended into gasoline, was also a
factor.
At $3.67 on Monday, the average price per
gallon of unleaded gasoline in Wilkes-Barre
was 3 cents higher over the past week, 23
cents over the past month and is up nine cents
over the average one year ago.
Motorists are paying more for gasoline
than they did this time last year, following the
upswing in prices at the pump since July 4,
said Jana L. Tidwell, a spokeswoman for AAA
Mid-Atlantic, which tracks gas trends. The
outlook for the next few weeks is grim in
terms of costs at the self-serve kiosk.
Experts see prices rising through Labor
Day, but they do not expect a big spike consid-
eringrisingprices coincide withthe endof the
summer driving season, Tidwell said. This
is typically a time whengas expenditures start
a downward trend, as long driving vacations
decrease and kids are back in school; however,
recent trends have been anything but typical
soit may very well be a wait andsee as autumn
approaches.
Gas prices got as highas $3.96onApril 6but
then declined to $3.19 per gallon in June. The
all time high locally is $4.06, on July 17, 2008.
By 2009, gas was back down below $3.
Jenny L. Robinson, another AAAspokeswo-
man, said assuming no disasters or interna-
tional incidents occur the $4 plateau should
not be reached locally this year.
But those sorts of variables are always out
there, she noted.
Were entering the typically busy part of
the hurricane season, she said.
The Associated Press contributed to this re-
port.

As summer
wanes with
longer nights
and cooler tem-
peratures, our
fog season
begins.
Conditions early
this morning
show the evi-
dence of having
had the air tem-
perature drop
down to equal
the dew point
temperatures.
The air is then
saturated result-
ing in condensa-
tion, a cloud on
the ground.
Sunshine is the
enemy of fog.
As the rays
warm the air
near the ground
the cloud evapo-
rates and the fog
is said to have
'burned off."
Drier air moving
in today high
above the
ground will pre-
vent showers
from forming
and below nor-
mal rainfall will
last from now
into next week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected across much of the
Southeast. A few strong to severe storms will be possible over northern Florida. Monsoonal thunder-
storms will be possible from the Southwest to portions of the northern Rockies. High pressure will
provide dry weather for most of the Plains, Great Lakes and the Northeast.

Q: Afriendof ours had
a badlegclot (DVT).
What surprisedme is
that he has cirrhosis of
the liver. I thought that
people withcirrhosis
have bleedingprob-
lems. Canyoutell me
howhe couldget a clot?
A: Youre correct that folks whohave
severe cirrhotic liver damage have clot-
tingproblems due toaninabilityof a
damagedliver tomake adequate proteins
necessaryfor proper clottingtooccur, a
decreasednumber of platelets (clot cells)
andanimpairment inthe functionof
existingplatelets. But we alsooccasional-
lysee DVTlegclots andpulmonaryem-
bolisms (lungclots) due toa cirrhotic
livers decreasedproductionof anti-clot-
tingproteins. Heres why: the healthy
liver makes some proteins that assist with
clottingas well as regulatoryproteins that
squelchclottingpathways tokeepthe
clottingprocess balanced. Acirrhotic,
scarredliver lacks a normal clottingbal-
ance.
Its difficult for doctors topredict whois
at riskfor a serious clot. Simplylookingat
bloodclottingtests like anincreased
prothrombintime (PT), anincreasedINR
level or a lowplatelet count cannot assure
us of a lowriskof serious clots. We once
thought folks withcirrhosis/end-stage
liver disease were auto-coagulated (i.e.
protectedagainst clots as thoughthey
were ona bloodthinner like Coumadin),
but as youve seeninyour friends sit-
uation, thats not the case.
Q: Ive beenhearinga lot about the U.S.
Preventive Services TaskForce making
recommendations about the needfor
things like PSAbloodtests andmam-
mograms under a certainage. Whoare
theyandwhat is their agenda?
A: The USPSTFis a quasi-govern-
mental groupof 16experts inpreventive
andevidence-basedmedicine that oper-
ates under the auspices of the Agencyfor
Healthcare ResearchandQuality. Their
goodversus harmful, cost-conscious
agenda is tomake evidence-basedrecom-
mendations onwhether or not theres a
needor benefit tomanyof the common
clinical preventive services performedby
doctors inthe UnitedStates.
Anumber of their recommendations
have beencontroversial. While theyhave
made a number of goodrecommenda-
tions, some of their controversial ones
include: (1) Noroutine screeningfor
colorectal cancer for folks older thanthe
age of 75; (2) Noscreeningfor testicular
cancer inadolescents andadult males; (3)
NoPSAscreeningfor prostate cancer; (4)
Nomammograms until age 50; (5) No
routine use of aspirintoprevent colorec-
tal cancer; (6) Noroutine EKGs inasymp-
tomatic folks, andinsufficient evidence to
recommendfor or against routine EKGs
infolks at highcardiovascular risk; (7)
Insufficient evidence torecommendfor or
against routine screeningfor glaucoma;
(8) Insufficient evidence torecommend
for or against routine screeningfor thy-
roiddisease inadults; (9) Noroutine
screeningfor peripheral arterial disease;
and(10)BNovalue toteachingpatients
howtodoa self-breast examination.
ASK DR. H
M I T C H E L L H E C H T
Clotting and
cirrhosis can
happen together
Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing
in internal medicine. Send questions to him
at: "Ask Dr. H," P.O. Box 767787, Atlanta, Ga.
30076. Due to the large volume of mail
received, personal replies are not possible.
The other day I caught a brief
segment of Dr. Oz on TV. He
was saying that milk and yogurt
with some fat is better for you
than nonfat. I was not able to
listen to hear his reasoning on
this. Would you care to com-
ment on the idea.?"
Be happy to. And since I did not
see the segment you refer to,
these are strictly my comments:
The recommendation to choose
milk with some fat may be due
to studies that look at the effect
of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
a naturally occurring trans-fat
found in milk, meat and dairy
foods. Unlike the harmful trans
fats found in foods containing
partially hydrogenated oils, CLA
may actually be beneficial.
Studies have found CLA may
have a role in the prevention of
heart disease and some types of
cancer.
Another potentially beneficial
substance in dairy fat is "trans-
palmitoleic acid." In 2010, scien-
tists at the Harvard School of
Public Health observed that
subjects with the highest
amount of this substance in
their blood had a much lower
risk of developing type 2 dia-
betes.
Are we confused? Until we learn
more, heres what we know:
High fat dairy foods are loaded
with saturated fat the fat
implicated in raising "bad" LDL
cholesterol in our blood. Low-fat
dairy foods have been shown to
help lower blood pressure and
possibly help with weight loss.
Some components in dairy fat
such as CLA and trans-palmito-
leic acid may offer additional
health benefits.
I vote to mix and match two to
three servings a day of low-fat
or nonfat dairy foods ... and
save the higher fat choices for
special occasions.

HICAGO - Patrice Kadlec needed someone to
help take care of her elderly father in his Oak
Park, Ill., home, and she needed someone fast.
Kadlec works full time, and her father, who has Parkin-
sons disease and related dementia, was being dis-
charged fromthe hospital the next day after treatment
for bladder cancer. Kadlec scanned a long list of ser-
vice providers she had received from a local organiza-
tion that helps senior citizens. With panic setting in,
she picked one.
Nearly a year later, she has
changed agencies three times.
She encountered a paid caregiver
who begged for money, a worker
who left her father in soiled adult
diapers all day and another who
was argumentative tothe point of
being scary.
I was panic-stricken a lot of
the time wondering what was
taking place in my absence, Ka-
dlec said.
People who hire caregivers for
elderly family members might as-
sume that agencies conduct drug
testing and thorough criminal
background checks, and that pro-
spective employees have been
painstakingly vetted to make
sure they are experienced, com-
MCT PHOTO
Patrice Kadlec, left, visits her father, Edward Anderson, at his home in Oak Park, Ill. Kadlec uses an agency to
help provide caregivers for Anderson.
Some agencies lapses allow for unfit caregivers
In addition to checking whether an agency is
licensed by the state health department,
consumers should ask other questions be-
fore a paid caregiver comes into their home.
Northwestern University researchers have
put together a checklist of questions to ask:
How does the agency recruit caregivers,
and what are its hiring requirements?
What types of screenings are done before
a caregiver is hired? A federal or state crimi-
nal background check? Drug screening?
Something else?
Is the caregiver certified in CPR? Does he
or she have any other health-related train-
ing?
Is the caregiver insured and bonded
through the agency?
Does the caregiver have the skills you
expect? (These could include lifting and
transfers, homemaking and personal care
such as bathing, dressing or toilet assistance,
among others.)
How does the agency assess what the
caregiver is capable of doing?
What is the agencys policy if the regular
worker cannot provide the contracted ser-
vices? Will a substitute be provided if you are
dissatisfied with a particular caregiver?
Does the agency provide a supervisor to
evaluate the quality of home care on a regu-
lar basis? How frequently?
Does supervision occur over the tele-
phone, through progress reports or in-person
at the home of the older adult?

But that is not always the case,
according to a recent Northwest-
ern University study that found
many agencies do a poor job of
making sure caregivers are safe,
reliable and capable.
Among the studys findings:
Some agencies recruit workers
fromCraigslist andplace themin
the homes of older people with
dementia without checking for
criminal convictions or assess-
ing whether they are qualified.
Many agencies dont do national
criminal background checks or
drug testing. And some agencies
lie about testing caregivers qual-
ifications, dont require experi-
ence in the job and dont provide
training.
Our results brought forth
some alarming issues among
agencies that hire caregivers,
said lead author Dr. Lee Lind-
quist, a geriatrician and associ-
ate professor of medicine at
Northwestern University Fein-
berg School of Medicine. There
are good agencies and bad agen-
cies, and consumers need to be
educatedabout what tolookfor.
The study looked at five states
with large populations of older
adults Illinois, California, Ari-
zona, Florida and Wisconsin
plus two other states, Indiana
and Colorado.
Paid caregivers include a large
category of workers such as per-
sonal careattendants, privatedu-
ty attendants, home care aides,
direct care workers and sitters.
The National Private Duty As-
sociation, which represents
more than1,300 home care com-
panies, acknowledged that some
agencies dont do a good job but
took issue with the study, criti-
cizing it for painting all agencies
with the same brush.
The studys findings are not
representative of the hiring,
training and supervisory practic-
es of the members of the NPDA
who adhere to high standards
and industry best practices, the
organization said in a written
statement.
Its member agencies employ,
train, bond, insure and supervise
their caregivers, who provide a
variety of care, including home-
maker services, companionship
and home health care, the state-
ment said.
Lindquist said the purpose of
the study wasnt tovilify all agen-
cies, because they serve a critical
role.
What were trying to say is,
dont gowiththeagencywiththe
pretty website or a good story,
she said. You need to vet the
website and what they tell you
(over the phone) and look into it
more.
Michael Doepke, who owns
Home Helpers HomeCare in
Hinsdale with his wife, Mary,
said his agency goes beyond
what state law requires.
For example, Illinois requires
only a criminal background
check through the state police
database, but Doepke said his
agency also does a national
check. The agency also does rou-
tine and randomdrug testing, he
said.
If youre going to put an unsu-
pervised worker in the home of
an older adult, you cant take any
chances, he said. You need to
make sure you have somebody in
there you can trust, who can
make smart decisions and
doesnt have a history that you
dont know about. So we take
time to do criminal background
checks, check references and do
two rounds of interviews.
Darby Anderson, division vice
president of homeandcommuni-
tyservices for Addus HealthCare
Inc., based in Palatine, said most
caregivers doanoutstandingjob,
and his company works hard to
ensure a high-quality staff.
But hesaidhomecareis social-
ly undervalued work, which pre-
sents challenges for agencies
when it comes to recruitment
and hiring.
Home care is not viewed as a
profession. Its considered an en-
try-level, welfare-to-work type of
job, Anderson said. Thats a
challenge that we are trying to
overcome while balancing limit-
ed reimbursement rates from
state government and fromwhat
the market will bear in terms of a
private pay rate.
For the study, published last
month in the Journal of the
American Geriatrics Society, re-
searchers posed as consumers
and surveyed180 agencies about
hiring methods, screening mea-
sures, training and supervision
practices, and testing for compe-
tency.
Some answers led to further
research into state and federal
legislation to verify the accuracy
of the responses.
Among the findings: Some
agencies reported that their em-
ployees received training at uni-
versities, but researchers later
determinedtheschools werecre-
ated by the agencies and not ac-
creditedbyanyeducational asso-
ciation or commission.
Researchers also were unable
to confirmthe existence of some
screening tests the agencies
mentioned, including the Na-
tional Caregiver Background
Check, National Scantron Test
for Inappropriate Behaviors, As-
sessment of Certification of
Christian Morality and Quality
Seal of Assurance Online Pro-
gram Completion.
One agency, according to the
study, said it did not give drug
tests to its employees because
most of our caregivers are Filipi-
nos, who tend not to use drugs,
smoke or drink. Another said it
was barred from drug-testing
employees before they were
hired, even though no law pro-
hibited the agency from doing
so.
Instead of pushing for more
regulations, which Lindquist
said could drive up the cost of
home care, she suggested that
consumers could exert market
pressure through selecting care-
givers only from high-quality
agencies.
If we can educate consumers,
its one way to bring up the stan-
dards, Lindquist said. If theres
more demand for high-quality
agencies, the agencies will have
to improve what they are doing.

in London, U.K. These lei-
sure-time activities represent
moderate intensity exercise
that is important to health. It is
especially important for older
people to be physically active
because it contributes to suc-
cessful aging.
At the baseline assessment
in 1991-1993, researchers ana-
lyzed two key inflammatory
markers, C-reactive protein
(CRP) and interleukin-6
(IL-6). Researchers again as-
sessed physical activity and in-
flammatorymarkers in1997-99
and about 11 years later.
Physically active participa-
nts at baseline had lower CRP
and IL6 levels. The difference
remained stable over time
compared to participants that
rarely adhered to physical ac-
tivity guidelines during10-year
follow-up.
Inflammatory markers are
important because we have
shown they are a key mecha-
nism explaining the link be-
tween physical activity and the
lower risk of heart disease.
Hamer said. The people who
benefited the most from this
study were the ones that re-
mained physically active.

Have you been Diagnosed with NEUROPATHY?
Come learn about Neuropathy Center of Kingstons new and
innovative ways to treat several different forms of Neuropathy.
I had no feeling in my feet and
did not feel comfortable
walking up steps and
maintaining my balance. My
feet would swell and hurt so
bad that even a blanket on
them would be painful.
It limited me because I couldnt walk even in
my bare feet. Now I can walk in my bare feet
and I love it. I now can walk up and down
steps easily and dont have the severe pain
that I had. I recommend Neuropathy Center
of Kingston to everyone I know. I also like the
people here. Its like being part of a family.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Id like
to respond to Where
the Boys Arent
(May 26). Were right
here every day, lady,
working in the same
building, going to the
same functions, eat-
ing at the same diners and attending
the same churches. But we dont mea-
sure up to the standards you have set.
You can find us after work at sports
bars with friends having a beer, early
morning weekends on the lake or
stream fishing, kicking back watching
a game on TV or working on a hot
rod or motorcycle. We are NOT on
a cruise, at the mall, upscale bar or
wine tasting. In short, were not do-
ing what YOU like to do.
You want to find a guy in your age
range? Thats easy. Step back, be hon-
est and really look at yourself. How
do you act, dress, talk? Would YOU
date you? Do YOU measure up to the
standards you have set for the right
guy? If theres something you would
change, then change it. Take the time
to see who he is, what he enjoys and
remember, hes not going to change,
and if he did, he wouldnt be what
you wanted anyway.
Content, Secure, Single 58-Year-
Old Man
Dear Single Man: Thank you for
taking the time to write. Apparently,
these ladies need to find new hunting
grounds. Read on:
Dear Abby: I had to chuckle at
Where the Boys Arent. Most guys
would pay handsomely for the ad-
dresses of the clubs where women go
to meet men. What is Where doing
that prevents her from meeting all
the men she wants? My guess is she
doesnt walk up and introduce herself.
She doesnt grasp that dating rules
get reversed at some point. Shes hop-
ing to be swept off her feet.
My advice to older women is to
stop hanging out in escape literature
and move over to the magazine rack.
After a certain age, even sex wont
sell itself like it used to. Drive your
own car and, if you plan to stay after
the introductions, buy your own
drinks. Arrive in pairs only with an
agreement to split up if opportunity
knocks. And remember, going to
expensive bars will only net you a
higher class of bum.
Where has repeatedly failed
Dating 101. Theres hardly a middle-
aged guy in America who would turn
down a woman who offered him a
pizza, a cold beer and a quiet Friday
night at home. Id even help with
the dishes. But everything about her
spells HIDDEN AGENDA!
Nameless in Florida
Dear Abby: I can speak only for
myself. Yes, I AM at home watching
bad cable TV not because I want
to, but because some of us choose to
be here for our elderly parents. Were
not out and about except to take
our mothers on errands, our dads
for haircuts and both for medical ap-
pointments, on top of managing their
finances and looking after their home.
Society looks down on us because
we have put their needs ahead of
ours. We might not be at the typical
social events, but were out there. The
next time you see a middle-aged man
with a little old lady in the grocery
store, bump into his cart and you
might find a nice, lonely guy like me.

DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Look a little harder, ladies, for single men who are ready and willing
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
falling rock doesnt know about
gravity, but it still follows its rule.
Youre different. You wonder
about things. Youll find your-
self considering your automatic
actions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
are likely to reveal things about
yourself that you werent expect-
ing to unveil. You sense that its
the information that will make
another person feel more com-
fortable and open.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Its a day
to add to your inventory as you
see fit. Keep in mind that dollars
are not always the currency that
can buy what you need. Tonight,
new ideas beg to be explored.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
snappy banter with an attractive
someone will be something that
repeats in the future. Keep it up,
and you just could make some-
one fall in love with you!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There have
been instances in your life when
thinking about the future was
much more pleasurable than the
reality you found when you actu-
ally got there, which is all the
more reason to indulge in the
pleasure of dreaming today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
financial sector gets a thorough
going-through. You feel upbeat
about your prospects, and youre
right to be so optimistic. Things
will work out quite well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll
work admirably to improve your
skills. You want to control the
experience youre about to have,
but its precisely your lack of
control over it that will make
it fun.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
wont have to physically fight for
what you want, though you may
have to fight your own nerves
to get to a place where youre
able to ask for it in a clear, direct
voice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll have the sense of being
along for a ride, and youll prob-
ably be fine with going along
with whatever another person
decides, especially if its a person
you know and love.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Sometimes tasks that on the
outside dont appear to be very
demanding come with a whole
lot of internal pressure. Knowing
this, you are careful of what you
ask people to do for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
be around people who inspire
your imagination, though you
still manage to remain grounded.
A flirty encounter may send you
to the moon, but youll come
back in time for dinner.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
lack of pretense makes someone
feel that they know you better
than they actually do. So dont
be surprised if you get requests
that seem a little too forward.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21).
Youll live your own philosophy
this year. September shows
you winning a long shot; your
enthusiasm makes this possible.
November brings a fortuitous
business arrangement. Someone
needs you in December, and it
will be well worth your while to
be available. February and June
are the most romantic months.
Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 35,
