Mayor: 1 strike,youre out

Leightons get tough plan to fight violent crime takes aim at problem properties
JERRY LYNOTT
jlynott@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE Alarmed by an increase in violent crime, Mayor Tom Leighton took aim at what he said was the source and proposed tough standards for landlords and tenants to aid in the ght against the poison of drugs in the citys neighborhoods. With key ofcials in his administra-
tion assembled in City Council chambers Thursday afternoon, Leighton detailed his plan to penalize problem properties, their owners and occupants by shutting down the places for six months. In the aftermath of the homicide at 174 S. Grant St., I convened a meeting with my legal advisers, police department ofcials and senior administrative staff to review and conceive any new city ordinances that would aid our continued ght against crime, drugs
and poison in our city neighborhoods, he said. Twelve days after that fatal shooting on July 7 there was another in the city, bringing the total number of homicides to seven so far this year. The amendment adds drugs and weapons charges to the list of violations and sets a one-strike limit for a shutdown by the citys code enforcement department. It targets landlords and tenants who know of criminal activity and do not alert the authorities.

WILKES-BARRE The United Way theme for its 2013 Annual Community Campaign goes, It starts with a dream, dreams become vision, vision inspires change. Bill Jones, the organizations president/ CEO, said Thursday this years campaign will continue the mission to raise money to aid those in need, but soon a new model will be installed. When you give to United Way, its not just a pledge, Jones said at the kick-off breakfast held Thursday at Kings College. By giving, you are making a statement that you care about your community and its future. The breakfast hosted local corporate leaders and their employee campaign coordinators. The 2012 campaign raised $4.1 million, but Jones did not announce a goal for 2013. A goal is not the important thing, he said. Whats important is that the dollars we allocated to the community did not decline last year. Thats the real success. The United Way helps fund 46 programs in 25 member agencies. He said the organization is more than a fundraising institution. The United Way helps fund effective programs that improve many lives in the community.

PLAINS TWP. Commissioners opened Thursday nights regular meeting with a moment of silence for the victims of Mondays shooting at a public meeting in Ross Township, Monroe County, where three people were killed. Commissioners also acknowledged added security at their meeting. At least one police ofcer will be present at all meetings from now on. Because the NEXT meeting hall is housed in one of MEETING the township re 7:30 p.m. Sept. 12 halls, reghters are regularly present, but they were much more visible Thursday night outside of the building. Citing an extremely disruptive June meeting, board Chairman Ronald Filippini announced the existing ve-minute time limit for public comment will be strictly enforced. Residents requiring more time will be advised to attend the monthly public work sessions. In public comment, each of the six residents who spoke Thursday voiced their displeasure with operations at the two area rock quarries. They complained about speeding drivers in overloaded trucks lled with rock, the litter and debris from those trucks and the various problems associated with dynamite blasting within the quarries. Those residents said the trucks loudly speed through neighborhoods into the early hours of the morning. The bulk of the criticism was leveled at the Wilkes-Barre Materials quarry, and trucks coming from various companies associated with the H and K Group. Residents also noted dissatisfaction with operations at the quarry owned by Popple Construction Inc. in neighboring Lain. The issue was also acknowledged by Commissioner Rob Sax in his opening comments. He said police patrols for speeding trucks will be stepped up in the area. Township ofcials say they can do little else beyond speed controls, saying the state is responsible for noise and operational hour enforcement. Filippini said he intended to press state ofcials for additional action and urged concerned residents to continue to do the same.

IN BRIEF
LUZERNE COUNTY
Former Luzerne County election director Leonard Piazza has asked the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to investigate his complaint alleging the county is not in compliance with requirements of the Help America Vote Act, or HAVA. Piazza, who was county election director from April 2004 until his termination in April 2012, said polling places are not fully accessible to the disabled Piazza as required. He also alleged the county failed to provide funding for the office as promised to be eligible for the receipt of HAVA funding. Piazza said the county should be taken to task and forced to return $3.6 million in HAVA funding. Election Director Marisa CrispellBarber said she instituted a plan to make polling places accessible to the disabled for the May 2013 primary and said she is in the process of reviewing HAVA paperwork with the state to ensure the county is compliant.

Sherman Hills carnival focuses on positive

We want people to realize its not all gunre and nonsense that goes on here, Terri Kirschner, resident services coordinator at Sherman Hills, said. We have families with children and this event is for the enrichment of the residents. In addition to the rides and games, hot dogs, soft drinks and Sno cones will be served. The event runs 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Stephen Perillo, of Wilkes-Barre, has arranged for 10 to 12 nonprot groups to send volunteers to work the stands and help serve food. He also invited two Christian bands. Just because they live there doesnt mean they have to have a negative view on life, Perillo said, referring to the residents. Due to the negative news in and around that area, doesnt mean Sherman Hills is a bad place or the people are bad. I believe that theres not a bad kid, just a misdirected kid. Events like this help mold children into good adults. Jenn Kearney, Sherman Hills property manager for nearly two years, said the complex tries to do positive events for the residents. We want them to get together to get to know each other in a positive, friendly and fun atmosphere, she said. We want our residents to enjoy their living space. With the economy the way it is, Sherman Hills isnt a bad place to live. The Sherman Hills Apartments complex is owned by Sherman Hills Realty and consists of 344 apartments in nine buildings that stretch over 22 acres of property. There are 104 one-bedroom apartments in a high-rise building and 240 one- and two-bedroom apartments in eight garden-style buildings.

WILKES-BARRE Pony rides, a bounce house, face painting, games and fun will be the order of the day Saturday at Sherman Hills.

So they will hold the third annual Family Fun Carnival on the complex grounds and residents of Sherman Hills can attend to enjoy a free day of fun. Families from neighboring Interfaith Apartments are also expected to attend.
Kirschner, resident services coordinator for 12 years, said management tries to develop activities for the residents, such as Movie Day, a hay ride and a day camp in the summer. Several groups donate time to help the children residing in the complex, she said. We want people to see the positive side of Sherman Hills the real side, Kirschner said.
Governors Residence gardens to be open

WILKES-BARRE Trafc around one of the citys busiest intersections was disrupted for hours Thursday after a car slammed into a utility pole, sending one man to the hospital and putting signals out of commission. A silver Buick Regal came to a stop with its front end impaled on a pole at the southwest corner of Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and East Market Street at about 1 p.m., damaging a trafc signal control box.
The name and condition of a man taken away in an ambulance was not available later Thursday, as city police and reghters said they had no further updates. Southbound trafc on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard briey came to a standstill and cars were backed up for at least a block on East Market Street as emergency crews tended to the injured man and cleared the wreckage. Trafc continued to move at a stopand-go pace throughout the day, as the signals remained dark and city crews set out temporary stop signs to
restore order. Ofcials later issued a travel advisory, cautioning drivers to avoid this intersection if at all possible, or use extreme caution when proceeding through the intersection this evening, according to an email from city spokeswoman Liza Prokop. The stop signs were still up Thursday evening, with two police ofcers stationed at the intersection to monitor trafc ow. Workmen at the scene said they were trying to repair the trafc lights as quickly as possible, hoping to get the signals working on ash mode. Part of the delay stemmed from the need to obtain parts from Philadelphia, workers said.
Huber Breaker auction set Aug. 22

An auction for bids to purchase the Huber Breaker and adjacent property from No. 1 Contracting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Aug. 22 inside the Max Rosenn U.S. Courthouse on South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre. No. 1 Contracting of South Main Street filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2010 and was converted to Chapter 7 in November of that year, requiring the business to liquidate its assets, including the breaker. Bankruptcy court records say Paselo Logistics, of 221 12th St., Philadelphia, submitted a bid of $1.275 million for the property, which has an appraised value of $750,000, according to an appraisal conducted in September 2005. The property consists of one office, three garages/warehouses and two breakers, including the Huber Breaker that has an estimated 900 tons of steal valued at $85,000, court records say. Before the auction, a hearing is scheduled on a petition filed by No. 1 Contracting objecting to the auction.

Weather honor blows in to Mountain Productions

aNDREW m. SEDER
WILKES-BARRE When attendees are at a concert, sporting event or other big-budget productions, serious weather events should not be a concern. One local companys efforts to make sure thats the case were recognized Thursday by the National Weather Service. Mountain Productions, the largest staging company in North America, received the distinction of being a StormReady Supporter. Its a grass-roots program intended to help schools, venues, communities and businesses establish severe weather safety plans. Dave Nicosia, the warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Services forecasting ofce in Binghamton, N.Y., travelled to Mountain Productions headquarters on New Frederick Street to hand company ofcials a certicate and sign commemorating its accomplishment. Nicosia said the business
is the rst staging company to earn the distinction, and said its appropriate because so many lives are at risk at events the company helps to set up from giant music festivals to papal visits to ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza. Jim Evans, president of Mountain Productions, said using weather indicator reports and designing plans that dictate when to lower curtains or screens based on wind speeds give his company an advantage to make sure shows go on without tragedies. While it might not mean additional business, Evans said, the new honor will be used in sales pitches. In the days before cellphones, modern warning systems and the Internet, when weather was closing in on an event, it was often a situation where production companies would have to scurry to move into action. But thanks to early-warning systems and improved weather-detection equipment, crews can get a heads up when dangerous weather is closing in.
National Weather Service Warning Coordination meteorologist David Nicosia, right, presents Jim Evans, president of mountain Productions in Wilkes-Barre, the StormReady Supporter award for the procedures established to protect individuals who attend events at venues across the country.
Bill Tarutis|For The Times Leader
By using this technology and preparing stages and sets with weather factored in, it makes for a safer show for all involved. Enormous amounts of people in a small area that could be very vulnerable to severe weather must be addressed, Nicosia said. The attention to weather and safety cannot be overstated, he said.
He noted there was a deadly lightning strike at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond last year. Mountain Productions had no involvement in that event. With all the severe weather weve been getting, this is very important, Nicosia said. Theyve taken this step to ensure theyre protecting the people that attend their events.
WILKES-BARRE A state trooper charged with illegally accessing her ex-boyfriends cellphone and falsely reporting he assaulted her will stand trial on related charges in November, a judge said Thursday. Carrie Ann Gula, 35, of West Pittston, appeared Thursday in Luzerne County Court for a hearing before Judge Lesa Gelb at which her attorney, Joseph Nocito, requested a jury trial. Gelb scheduled Gula the case on seven related charges to begin Nov. 4. Gula remains suspended without pay from the state police and free on $7,500 bail. She previously waived a formal arraignment in county court in May. According to court records, state police at Wyoming allege Gula accessed the Verizon cellphone account of Eric Thomas on Aug. 1, 2012, and changed his password. While stationed at the state police barracks at Fern Ridge, she left work early that day and went to Thomas residence in Exeter, where, she said, Thomas assaulted her while she was in uniform. Trooper Lisa Brogan testied during a March preliminary hearing that she found inconsistencies in Gulas statement because a mirror and a chair Gula said were broken during a struggle with Thomas were not smashed. Thomas testied he was taking a shower when he noticed someone was in his house. He said he spotted Gula leaving his house with his cellphone under her arm. He said she kicked and shoved him, causing him to fall over a chair. Police said the password on Thomas phone was changed on Aug. 1 and that Thomas had to change the password. There were also several failed attempts to access his phone over a two-hour period, police said. Gula allegedly told police in an Aug. 2 interview she went to Thomas home to pick up uniform shirts. She said she heard Thomas cellphone ring while he was in the shower, so she went to answer it. Thats when, Gula told police, Thomas came out of the shower and pushed her to the oor. She said Thomas picked up a wooden kitchen chair and smashed it on the oor next to her. Gula said she tried to run, but Thomas blocked her path. She said she locked herself in the bathroom but Thomas broke down the door, grabbed her by the neck and spit on her uniform. Gula was then able to ee the residence, she said.

NOAA trims hurricane outlook

Number of hurricanes cut to six to nine, but caution is still urged

Judge: Hasan can represent himself

The soldier on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood was allowed to continue representing himself on Thursday after the judge barred his standby attorneys from taking over, despite their claims that the Army psychiatrist was trying to secure his own death sentence. The military lawyers ordered to help Maj. Nidal Hasan as he represents himself had asked to either be removed from the case or be allowed to take over. They said they believed Hasan was trying to secure a death sentence for the attack that killed 13 people inside a processing center on the sprawling Texas military base. The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, denied that request Thursday in a heated exchange with the lead standby attorney, saying it was clear that the lawyers simply disagreed with Hasans defense strategy. Hasan has been largely silent during the trial and objected only once as nearly a dozen witnesses testied Thursday.
FORT HOOD,Texas
WASHINGTON This Atlantic hurricane season may not be quite as busy as federal forecasters once thought, but they still warn of an unusually active and potentially dangerous few months to come. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration updated its hurricane season forecast Thursday, trimming back the number of hurricanes they expect this year to between six and nine. Thats a couple less than they predicted back in May. The forecast calls for three to ve of those hurricanes to be major, with winds greater than 110 mph. The updated forecast also predicts 13 to 19 named storms this year. Both of those predictions are just
usually there are just one or two, Bell said. Bell is predicting a busierthan-normal season because of larger climate patterns that have been in place since about 1995. Atlantic waters are warmer than normal, wind patterns are just right, and there has been more rain in West Africa. This ts with a larger 25-to-40-year cycle of hurricane activity that meteorologists have seen over the decades. Bell slightly reduced the earlier forecast because a La Nina weather event the cooling of the central Pacic that acts as the ip side of El Nino isnt happening and that usually increases hurricane activity. While the Atlantic is as much as half a degree Fahrenheit warmer than normal, its not as warm as some of the busier
Federal forecasters are slightly reducing their prediction for a busy Atlantic hurricane season. NOAA updated its hurricane season forecast Thursday, slightly cutting back the number of hurricanes they expect this year to somewhere between six and nine.

years, nor is it predicted to be, Bell said. The forecasts dont include where storms might land, if any place. Despite the formation of more hurricanes recently, the last time a major hurricane made landfall in the United States
was Wilma in 2005. That seven-and-a-half-year stretch is the longest on record. Its also the last time any size hurricane made a direct hit on Florida, which is also a record, said National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen.

Two U.S. drone strikes killed a total of nine suspected al-Qaida militants Thursday, a Yemeni military ofcial said, the sixth and seventh such attacks in less than two weeks as the Arab nation is on high alert against terrorism. The uptick in drone strikes signals that the Obama administration is stepping up its efforts to target Yemens al-Qaida offshoot al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula amid fears of attacks after the interception of a message between its leader and the global leader of the terror network. Since July 27, drone attacks have killed 31 suspected militants, according to an Associated Press count of the dead provided by Yemeni security ofcials.

A former teacher who moonlighted as a hip-hop dancer entertaining NBA crowds has been arrested in the fatal shooting of four people in two Dallasarea homes, and police were investigating Thursday if he used a grenade or other explosive in one of the attacks. Investigators arrested Erbie Bowser, 44, on Wednesday night at the second crime scene, DeSoto police Cpl. Melissa Franks said. Charges are pending, she said. Four people were also wounded in the attacks. Franks said the attacks were a domestic incident and that investigators were trying to determine how Bowser knew the victims. The rst shooting took place at a house in southwest Dallas late Wednesday and the second happened about 15 minutes later in DeSoto, some 10 miles away, Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said.

WASHINGTON Vicious ghts! Stunning beauties! Surprises around every corner! Yes, its reality TV but with a lot more depth as much as 10,000 feet. Its live coverage of deep-sea exploration off Nantucket and tens of thousands of people are tuning in. Theyre watching an eel suddenly attack a squid, oohing-and-aahing over hot pink starsh and listening as excited researchers discover a canyon so downright alien that sea life lives on methane escaping from the sea oor instead of sunlight. Theyre watching science as it happens, however weird and wild. Weve been calling it Deep Sea TV, says National Marine Fisheries Services scientist Martha Nizinski, in a ship-to-shore interview. Its much better than any other reality show being broadcast. For years, the world of the deep sea oor has mostly been the province of scientists. A handful of researchers would huddle on a ship and watch the video from below, take
notes, and two or three years later write a scientic paper. Now, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations ship Okeanos Explorer and its robotic submarine explore thousands of feet deep, the view is broadcast live, usually from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT, for other scientists and everyday people to follow along to the tune of 50,000 visits. Leona McKinney of Hiram, Ga., started watching from home over three weeks ago. Ive watched every day since then. In fact, Im watching now. Im hooked on it, she said in a phone interview Wednesday. The expedition, which costs about $40,000 a day,
continues until Aug. 16. As the robotic sub roams the Atlantic Ocean off Massachusetts, scientists can call in or send messages with requests to see this or that. In past years, the ship explored the Pacic Ocean, but the next several missions will be off the East Coast with ofcials considering a deep Puerto Rico trench dive in the winter with live coverage, of course. Aboard the ship, researchers do more than watch; they explain the science and the action for viewers. Its a bit like color commentary from sports, says U.S. Geological Survey scientist Amanda Demopoulos, whose voice
is often heard calling the underwater action. These are mysterious ecosystems. We dont always know what were going to nd. The expedition seems to be gaining loyal viewers, Nizinski said. Were giving everybody a really good diversion and keeping them from doing their work, she said. On the ships Facebook page, comments from viewers include raves from McKinney, whos become a fan of some of the commentators. I love it when they say Ooh, I havent seen that before, McKinney said. One of the highlights for her: Watching an eel circle an unsuspecting squid, attack and bite its wouldbe-lunch. The squid played dead and then suddenly escaped.
The manager of a Canadian zoo says ofcials are preparing to remove more than a dozen animals from an exotic pet store beneath the apartment where two boys were asphyxiated by a python while they slept. Bruce Dougan, the manager of the Magnetic Hill Zoo in New Brunswick, said it could take two days to safely remove 16 animals that the shop didnt have permits for. Dougan, who is helping in the removal, says there are four large alligators, six crocodiles and some tortoises, turtles and snakes. He says most of the animals will be taken to an Ontario zoo.

Two friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, accused of bombing the nish-line area of the Boston Marathon, have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of hindering the investigation into the attack. Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both Kazakhstan nationals, were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstructing justice, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in Boston announced on Thursday. The men were originally charged in a criminal complaint on May 1. If convicted, Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov, both 19, face up to 20 years in prison on the obstruction of justice count and up to ve years in prison on the conspiracy count, as well as a $250,000 ne. Both also face the possibility of being deported, if convicted. The two, who are currently in federal custody, went to the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth in 2011, as did Tsarnaev, 19. Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov had entered the United States on student visas and were living in New Bedford, Mass., during the bombing on April 15. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded along the nish line area on Boylston Street. On the evening of April 18, the FBI released photographs and surveillance video of the two suspects, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as part of an intense manhunt that shut down the metropolitan Boston area. According to the indictment, Kadyrbayev, after the release of the images, received a text message from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev suggesting that he go to Tsarnaevs college dormitory room and take whats there. Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov and another person then went to Tsarnaevs dormitory room and removed several items, including Tsarnaevs laptop computer and a backpack. Later that night, Kadyrbayev, with Tazhayakovs knowledge and agreement, placed Tsarnaevs backpack, which contained several items including reworks, in a garbage bag, and put it in a trash dumpster outside their New Bedford apartment, according to the indictment.
Same-sex spouses may get military benefits

LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Samesex spouses of military members could get health care, housing and other benets by the end of August under a proposal being considered by the Pentagon. But earlier plans to provide benets to gay partners who are not married might be reversed. A draft Defense Department
memo obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press says the department instead might provide up to 10 days of leave to military personnel in same-sex relationships so they can travel to states where they can marry legally. The memo from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to top defense leaders, if implemented, would reverse an earlier plan that would have allowed the same-sex partners of military
members to sign a declaration form to receive limited benets, such as access to military stores and some health and welfare programs. The recent Supreme Court decision extending federal benets to legally married same-sex couples eliminates the need for such a plan, Hagel said in the draft. As the Supreme Courts ruling has made it possible for same-sex couples to marry and be afforded all benets avail-
able to any military spouse and family, I have determined, consistent with the unanimous advice of the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the spousal and family benets far outweigh the benets that could be extended under a declaration system, Hagel wrote. According to a U.S. ofcial, the memo is under legal review by the Justice Department, and the Pentagon will not be able to take any action until that
review is nished. Although we have bases and installations in all 50 states, not all state laws are equal when it comes to same-sex marriage, a defense ofcial said. That is why we are looking at providing extra leave for same-sex couples who want to get married to travel to a state where samesex marriages are legal. The ofcials were not authorized to discuss the memo, so spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Pills could protect in nuke emergency

joconnell@timesleader.com
JON OCONNELL
NANTICOKE State Health employees took a lesson in emergency preparedness Thursday by distributing free potassium iodine, or KI, tablets for those living near the Susquehanna Steam Electric nuclear power plant near Berwick. Using the garage at Luzerne County Community Colleges Emergency Training Institute, Community Health Nurse Bonnie Donovon and her staff handed out packaged doses of the radiationblocking tablets drivethrough style and gave instructions for taking the pills. If the Salem Township nuclear plant releases radiation, those within 10 miles are in the most danger and should take a dose of KI only if the governor or secretary of health issues the command through radio or TV emergency broadcasts. Donovon said that if disaster strikes, schools
and businesses outside the danger zone are to be set up as KI distribution centers. Most phone books have emergency maps that identify the centers. Holding the annual distribution lets state workers iron out the kinks of their action plan. From research gathered after the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown in Ukraine, nuclear radiation is proven to cause thyroid cancer, Donovon said. No other preventative medication has been developed because evidence has not been directly linked to cancer outbreaks, she said. With nine nuclear power plants, Pennsylvania ranks second for most reactors in the United States, second to Illinois, which has 11. Potassium iodine essentially blocks radiation from damaging the thyroid gland, an organ necessary for growth and metabolism maintenance. The health department advises that: KI protects only the thyroid.
The pill should be taken only if the governor or secretary of health issues public notice. Evacuation orders are always issued in conjunction with orders to take KI. Adults should take one dose, two tablets, upon notice and a second dose 24 hours later. Children are to take one pill per dose. KI tablets are good for about seven years. Most pharmacies sell KI over the counter and anyone who missed the distribution day may stop at the state health departments regional ofce at 665 Carey Ave., WilkesBarre, for free tablets. In 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission agreed to buy KI tablets for communities within 10 miles of a nuclear reactor. Those who work within 10 miles are also eligible. The initiative sparked after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center when agencies nationwide started thinking more about emergency preparedness,
Community Health Nurse Cheryl McGovern explains the use of potassium iodine pills to Pauline Kotch of Alden while Bonnie Donovan, a nurse supervisor, looks over paperwork Thursday at the drive-up potassium iodine tablet handout in the Luzerne County Community College Public Safety Institute garage.

said NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan. The NRC estimated in 2009 it would
cost between $4 million and $5 million for the most recent restocking of
all 25 states enrolled in the plan, Sheehan said. (KI is) another arrow
in the quiver for emergency responders to use, Sheehan said.
Ex-Dallas coachs lawsuit goes to mediator

elewis@timesleader.com
EDWARD LEWIS
SCRANTON A lawsuit led against the Dallas School District by former head football coach Ted Jackson is headed to a referee. U.S. District Court Judge James M. Munley sent the case to attorney Raymond Wendolowski of Wilkes-Barre for a mediation conference.
Mediation involves a neutral third party who tries to help the disputing parties reach a mutually agreeable solution. Munley ordered the conference to be held within two months followed by a report from Wendolowski about any settlement progress or if a settlement does not appear likely. Jackson led the suit in September 2012 against
the district and several school board members alleging he was red as retribution for speaking out against the dismissal of his son, Ted Jackson Jr., as a basketball coach in the district. He led an amended complaint in July seeking to return

as head football coach and to be protected from future retaliation. Jackson states his opinion about the way his son was suspended and red was protected speech. The lawsuit alleges school Principal Jeffrey Shaffer retaliated against
Jackson by failing to perform a mid-season evaluation in 2011. Shaffer waited until after the football season ended to perform the evaluation, which contrasted with a near-perfect evaluation after the 2010 season.
School directors opened the position of head football coach in December 2011. Jackson applied for the position, which was awarded to Robert Zaruta. In court papers led three weeks ago, school directors denied all of
Jacksons allegations, including the number of championships football teams have won under Jackson. Dallas state title and other school titles are listed on the PIAAs website under the championship archives link.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE The state Supreme Court has denied a request for an appeal of a ruling that denied the renewal of the former White House Cafes liquor license. Lisa and Lou Ruzzi, owners of the closed tavern, were seeking to overturn an April 2012 ruling by the a three-member panel of the states Commonwealth Court that upheld the denial of the license based on the states nuisance bar law. The tavern and restaurant, located at 198 Hazle Ave., had been plagued by numerous incidents over the years, including fatal shootings that occurred outside the premises in 2006 and 2007. The Ruzzis closed the bar in October 2007 but continued to ght the Liquor Control Boards 2007 decision to deny renewal of the liquor license a ruling that would preclude them from selling the license or transferring it to another location. WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County judge rescheduled a hearing Thursday for Cody Lee, who is accused of shooting to death his greatgrandfather. Lee, 19, is charged in the December 2009 death of Herbert Lee. Attorneys in the case met Thursday, but no hearing was held. Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. rescheduled the matter until Wednesday. Lees attorneys, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr., Melissa Scartelli and Charles Rado, had requested that their client be brought to the courthouse in advance of the 1 p.m. hearing so that Lee could discuss matters with his attorneys and his father, Scott Lee. Meetings between Lee and his attorneys as well as meetings with just attorneys delayed the hearing, before the courtroom was notied of the continuance. Several members of the Lee family were present in court. WILKES-BARRE A Jenkins Township man who pleaded guilty to causing a crash that killed two people in September has led court papers outlining why he is appealing his 6 1/2-to25-year prison sentence. Attorney Robert Buttner led the court papers Thursday on behalf of his client, Walter Raven, 60. Raven pleaded guilty in June to two counts of accidents involving death for the crash that claimed the lives of motorcycle riders Donnie Pizano, 38, and Robin Walsh, 39, both of Plains Township, on Sept. 2. Pittston Township police said Raven drove a Buick into the path of a motorcycle operated by Pizano on state Route 315. Walsh was a passenger on the motorcycle. Prosecutors alleged Raven failed to stop. Court paper say Raven is appealing his sentence because the sentencing judge, Michael Vough, did not merge counts together during sentencing and failed to consider several criteria in the sentencing, including Ravens rehabilitative needs.
HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Corbett on Thursday ordered some state ags lowered in memory of the victims of a gunman who opened re at a municipal meeting. Mondays tragedy strikes at the heart of Americas tradition of hometown democracy, Corbett said. Pennsylvania has lost three good citizens who were at a township meeting to exercise their constitutional right to self-government. Police said Rockne Newell was angry at Ross Township ofcials after losing his junk-strewn property
in northeastern Pennsylvania last month in a court ght and opened re at a building where they were meeting. Authorities said he had told his father and others he had nothing left to lose and planned to kill township ofcials. Newell faces charges that include three homicide counts. He didnt enter a plea at his arraignment Tuesday. When a judge asked him at the arraignment if he owned any real estate, he replied, They stole it from me. Thats what started all this. Newell, a 59-year-old disabled junk
dealer, had feuded with ofcials for years over longstanding complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet on his property. On Monday night, police said, he red a barrage of rie shots through a wall into the meeting room before entering the room and shooting a supervisor and four residents. He then retreated to his car, retrieved a revolver and returned to the meeting room, where he was tackled by two men and shot in the foot during the scufe, police said. Two residents died at the scene, and the township zoning of-
cer died after being own to a hospital. The governor ordered that state ags be lowered for three days at the Capitol complex in Harrisburg and at state facilities in Monroe County, beginning Sunday. His spokeswoman Kirsten Page said that is when the rst of the victims funerals is scheduled. U.S. and Pennsylvania ags already are ying at half-staff to mark the July 28 death of former Gov. William Warren Scranton. The ags are scheduled to be returned to full staff on Wednesday, when a memorial service is scheduled in the city named after his family.

From page 1A BS-ing them was my mother, a beaming White said at a news conference where he was joined by his girlfriend, brother and two colleagues. White said hell take a lump sum, which will amount to $58.3 million after taxes. Despite the minuscule odds of a jackpot win, White said he often daydreamed about how hed spend his winnings if he won. Ive totally been waiting for this day my entire life, he said, lamenting that he has to wait two weeks for his money. Start the clock right now, he said, eliciting laughs. The other two winning tickets were sold in New Jersey, including in a coastal community that is still recovering from Superstorm Sandy. But no one had stepped forward to claim either of those two shares as of Thursday afternoon. White said his girlfriend called him Thursday morning to say a winning ticket had been sold in Minnesota, and he quickly checked the 10 he had bought the night before. Mega-jackpot winners often wait days or weeks before claiming their prizes, giving them time to prepare and make legal arrangements. White said he had an attorney and nancial adviser in mind, and wasnt afraid of the publicity noting the New Jersey winners hadnt stepped forward yet. I hope Im yesterdays news as soon as possible, he said. White said he is divorced and has a 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter. He said his days working for a Minneapolis electrical contractor are over, although he said he planned to help his boss, Ron Bowen, nish some projects before quitting. Referring to Bowen, who was sitting nearby, he quipped: He started the day my boss. Hes going to end the day my chauffeur. The New Jersey tickets included one sold in a supermarket in a Little Egg Harbor, N.J., a coastal community hit hard by Superstorm Sandy last year. Hopefully, its somebody who lives in the area, and this is their reward for having gone through this, said Carol Blackford, a retiree whose home in Little Egg Harbor was ooded with knee-high water during Sandy last October. And if they want to share, were here. But even if the winner wasnt someone devastated by the storm, the community will benet from the jackpot. Phil Weber, director of the Acme Markets store where the winning ticket was sold, said Thursday that the store would donate $10,000 in gift cards to local charities. Weber said some of the stores employees are still out of their homes more than nine months after the storm.
Participants at Thursdays senior exposition get suggestions for avoiding financial fraud
TESS KORNFELD
Times Leader Intern
Seniors cautioned about scams

Shallcross Boback
DALLAS TWP. David Shallcross of the state Attorney Generals Office spoke to senior citizens on Thursday about how to spot fraud and identity theft. He started off his speech presented as part of state Rep. Karen Bobacks senior exposition at Misericordia University with an acronym to easily remember the mechanics of a scam: S is for sudden. Suddenly you have a call, an email or a letter that you did not expect. C is for contact. They want something from you. A is for act now. They want something from you immediately. M stands for the money or information needed to complete the transaction. The most popular scam targeting senior citizens now is the International Lottery Board, Shallcross said. It is illegal for U.S. citizens to participate in a foreign countrys lottery, he said, and a lottery of that name
does not even exist. Criminals like to use things that sound legitimate, he said. If you receive a suspicious letter in the mail, he recommended sending it to the mail fraud center in Chicago. The government will then put the sender into a database and potentially build a case against it. The majority of scams occur hidden behind the mask of technology, Shallcross said. For example, scammers can manipulate caller IDs to make it seem as if a call is coming from a specific location. The bad guys can spoof the caller ID while they are calling, he said. Often suspicious calls lead to identity JANNEY and financial theft, he said. Scammers call claiming to be
grandchildren who need to borrow money or bank representatives who are requesting Social Security numbers, credit card numbers and dates of birth. Financial fraud can be avoided by being alert and by never giving out personal information unless you are sure who you are dealing with. Always confirm contact before you react, he said. However, victims of financial fraud have recourse; they can seek guidance under the public protection division of the Attorney Generals Office. Shallcross said to call the states attorney general Senior Help Line at 1-866-623-2137. We need to know what scams and frauds are happening so we can educate the public, he said. Shallcross ended his session by reiterating the advice senior citizens and adults frequently give children: Do not talk to
strangers. As adults we forget that pretty quick, he said with a laugh. Alice Lent, of Shickshinny, said Shallcrosss information session was very informative and offered tips to be proactive. Many of us have the same, common problem, she said. We really need to know how to thwart scam artists. Boback, R-Harveys Lake, has had an expo for senior citizen constituents for the past seven years. In addition to Shallcrosss identity-theft and fraud session, there were sessions on senior legal issues, programs offered by the local Area Agency on Aging office and free screenings for hearing, glaucoma and blood pressure. It is senior information under one roof, said Boback. It is a one-stop shop for all of our seniors. In two weeks, Boback and state Rep. Sandra Major will be holding an expo at the Triton Hose Co. in Tunkhannock for senior citizens living in Wyoming County.

IN BRIEF
DICKSON CITY: A free, four-session ham radio class will begin on Aug. 14 at the Dickson City Volunteer Fire Company, Eagle Hose Company 1, 1 Eagle Lane. The class will run from 6-9 p.m. for four consecutive Wednesday evenings. Local ham radio operators will provide instruction in the basic skill areas needed to pass the Technician Exam. The technician class allows the ham to talk through regional relays called repeaters and to make international voice or digital contacts, use the ham satellites, talk to other hams via amateur radio equipment linked to the Internet and communicate with several advanced computer/radio forms of communication and even bounce signals off the moon. The technician class is the rst of the three classes. Each level requires greater skills and provides enhanced opportunities. Boy Scouts will also be able to qualify for the Radio Merit Badge and, if they become hams, will be able to receive the newest badge of recognition that the Scouts have selected. Scouts hold an international ham radio event called Jamboree on the Air each October. The Scranton Pocono Amateur Radio Klub (SPARK) holds monthly exams and the ham license is free, good for 10 years and renewable by the Federal Communications Commission. The exam cost is $15. If interested in joining the class, contact Bob at 586-2569 or WA3LWR@ epix.net. There are no age limitations and disabled individuals are welcome.

OTHER OPINION: TuRNPIkE
Turnpike rate hike takes toll on users

Fares on the Pennsylvania Turnpike will be rising again. Theyve risen every year since regular increases began four years ago as a response to payments the turnpike is now required to make to PennDOT. And those who pay cash dont need summers heat and humidity to feel hot under the collar, because their increase is significantly greater than that seen by users of the E-ZPass system. In fact, tolls for cash users will increase 12 percent in January, compared to 2 percent for those using the electronic system. Turnpike officials argue that it costs four times more to handle cash transactions than it does the electronic system. We can understand that there are higher costs involved most of them centered on the idea that one needs a toll-taker to take the money and make change. But if it costs four times more, why is the increase six times the E-ZPass rate hike? We dont want to look too closely at it, and we cant blame it on the PennDOT payments, since those payments are already factored into the increase to begin with. Cash-payers will now dish out 70 percent more for tolls to use the turnpike than they did five years ago. We suspect the inflation rate hasnt amounted to around 14 percent a year. Cash users are simply being gouged. E-ZPass users arent feeling quite as much pain, but its still significant. Theyre paying 35 percent more for tolls than they did in 2009. Compare that to these details gleaned from a Pittsburgh PostGazette story. From its opening in 1940 until 2004, the turnpike raised tolls five times. Now, its happened five years in a row. Those increases are due mostly to a 2007 state law, Act 44, that requires the turnpike commission to pay $450 million per year to PennDOT. Since that time, the turnpike has paid $3.6 billion to PennDOT, equiv-
alent to more than four years of revenue for the entire system. To pay the bill, the turnpike has borrowed, and the annual toll increase goes to debt service on the loans, and that debt service has grown by 200 percent, according to Auditor General Jack Wagner, since the law was enacted. That explains the funny math we cited above. It makes us no happier about it. Its no secret the turnpike wants users to convert to the E-ZPass system for ease of use and decreased labor costs. There is also the very real fact that E-ZPass keeps traffic flowing more efficiently in an age when gridlock is the rule of the day for most urban highway systems. We would be remiss in our underlying philosophy regarding government snooping and individual rights if we didnt point out that the E-ZPass system is yet another way for the government to easily collect data on the movements of innocent Americans. Were not suggesting anything specifically, just pointing out that its being done, and though we understand the rationale for it in this case, it doesnt make us flagwaving fans. And we dont know where the data go, how long they are kept of what other uses to which they might be put. One final number: A ride across the entire 359-mile turnpike mainline will cost $39.15 eastbound and $33.90 westbound for cash customers; $30.77 eastbound and $26.71 westbound for E-ZPass holders. Given that most of the money is going to debt service, we cant accuse the turnpike of cashing in with their constant increases. But we can suggest that there are more than a few motorists who are going to be cashing out on the entire turnpike system. Finally, it might be time for the Legislature to revisit the 2007 legislation that caused this spectacle of transportation hyperinflation.

COMMENTARY:
Time to reform child abuse reporting law

administering justice. The mandatory reporting measure in Senate Bill 31 is part of a package of recommended bills from the bipartisan, bicameral Legislative Task Force on Child Abuse. The blue-ribbon panel included a wide range of experts from across all disciplines that deal with child abuse. The Task Force was formed after the incidents of child abuse were discovered in the highly publicized Sandusky/Penn State child abuse case. The Task Force, recognizing the value of the legislation that I offered as a means to improve and clarify reporting procedures, supported my plan. My legislation was unanimously reported from the Education Committee in early June. I expect a vote by the full Senate this fall. My proposal is unambiguous. It clearly and unequivocally imposes duties on school ofcials regarding the reporting of suspected child abuse. The message from my legislation: if you believe you have witnessed abuse, you are responsible to immediately report it to authorities. Period. Our children deserve greater protection and our school ofcials must have the legal tools to ensure that our kids are safe. The details emerging from the trial in Pittsburgh of the former school police ofcer accused of child abuse and the Penn State perjury hearing from long ago illustrates the great need to act now.
Wayne Fontana is Pennsylvania state senator, D-Allegheny County.

Mars mission success satisfies our curiosity

NASAs Curiosity rover has spent a year on Mars patiently looking for evidence that Earths nearest planetary neighbor may have been hospitable to life once upon a time. It has already found traces of what appear to be an ancient river bed and clay minerals, an indication that water was no stranger to the environment. Rolling along at the leisurely pace of 100 yards a day through the dull and barren landscape known as the Gale Crater, Curiosity is an estimated nine months from its destination the imposing Mount Sharp in the geographic center of the crater. As The New York Times reported Tuesday, Curiosity has taken 36,700 photographs and 75,000 laser shots of rocks that will help geologists and scientists piece together a narrative about not only the planets formation, but our own. These are heady times for scientists with expertise in clay, water and rock formations, thanks to Curiosity. A year after the rover made its per-

ilous descent from orbit that NASA described as seven minutes of terror because of the likelihood that it would fail and scatter its delicate components on impact, Curiosity is showing its worth despite a $2.5 billion price tag. The rover, which is roughly the size of a car, can perform the mission without complaining that it would be too tedious or fearing it would be deadly (as it would for even the most dedicated human geologist). It is collecting data about an environment that mankind has every intention of visiting and, perhaps, cultivating for colonization one day. It has been on Mars for only a year, but Curiosity has symbolically planted humanitys ag on that world with its distinctive tire tracks crisscrossing the surface. One day, if humans are lucky, our own footprints will intersect with Curiositys treads in an ancient basin there, bringing this spectacular mission full circle.

YOuR OPINION: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Consider write-in for school board

I am an Oklahoma native and reside in Oklahoma City. Back in the late 1970s the State Department of Education provided the opportunity for Oklahoma City to establish a new school district dedicated to vocational technical training. I was appointed to the rst school board in 1982 and have served for the past 32 years, 10 as either president or vice president. The former Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education, Thomas Payzant, served a short term as the superintendent of the Oklahoma City School District. Following an extensive national search he recommended Dr. Richard A. Holodick to work as his assistant in the K-12 city school district. Dr. Holodicks unique assignment
was to create a new school district, researching program offerings, recruiting, interviewing and recommending for hire all employees from administration, teachers, maintenance and custodial staff. He was to develop all policies and procedures for the district. In short, he made the long-range plans for the development and implementation of the district. Thirty years have passed and the Metro Tech School has become a state model if not national. We can attest to the fact that we have followed the master plan developed by Dr. Holodick and the many community leaders and advisory groups he recruited and coordinated. In a correspondence Dr. Holodick shared his discouraging attempts to assist his school district in the Wilkes-Barre area. He states, my district is in trouble and I felt the obligation for payback.
I have reviewed his position papers and other communications to assist the Wilkes-Barre Area School District. In December 2013 the board will re-organize following the November election. The voting residents may want to consider a writein campaign, or a second option would be to employ Dr. Holodick as a consultant. What we have experienced in Oklahoma City from the proposals he has written and a proven track record he may be the answer to many of the challenges this board faces. It would seem reasonable to conclude that some of the board may be upset with his straightforward commentaries and letters to the editor. It may be time to put that aside and take advantage of an excellent professional who is a product of the Wilkes Barre Area School District.

From page 1A property, recruit good tenants and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods, the mayor said. But were not going to permit people to turn a blind eye to criminal activity for the sake of collecting a guaranteed rent check. Council to consider The proposed legislation goes to council for approval on a rst reading at Tuesday nights council meeting. It requires a second reading and approval by council in order to be enacted. The mayor said it has been thoroughly researched to make sure it is legal. Our new onestrike doctrine will provide a serious incentive for property owners to not value prot above their responsibility, he said. Last month the mayor tripled the size of the tactical unit assigned to high crime areas to six ofcers. Working in conjunction with the state police, the increase has paid off with 33 arrests, including 16 on felony drug charges, nine for prostitution and the seizure of three illegal rearms. We will continue to remove the drugs and the poison from our streets and arrest violent criminals, Leighton said. He singled out drugs as a root cause for the violence and justied the added effort paid to ghting crime. It was an about face from his comment in June that crime was down in the city. We have not turned a blind eye to the realities on our streets, Leighton said. We have intensied our deployment of police resources to combat the escalating violence that we believe is inspired by the illegal narcotics trade in the city limits. Pashinskis support The mayor received support from state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre. I think that there is no other choice, Pashinski said. He planned to meet with others in Harrisburg who make up the third-class city caucus to work on legislation to help his hometown and other cities facing similar problems. The cutbacks and austerity measures taken by the state and federal governments play role, he added. When we have government that is not working at the level that it should, providing other sources, other jobs, other income for these people, theyre are forced into these illegal activities, Pashinski said. The state lawmaker said it will take a concerted effort and urged people to get involved to address the problems. Leighton cautioned it will take time for change, but vowed his commitment. My resolve is a rm cleanup of this city, and I guarantee you better days are ahead, he said.
Sales
From page 1A increase by percentage was reported by the store along the San Souci Parkway in Hanover Township, which registered a 7.8 percent, or $153,409, hike in sales. The largest increase in total dollars was a gain of $447,422 reported by the store in the Wilkes-Barre Township Commons off Highland Park Boulevard. Statewide sales Sales statewide increased, though less than locally. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board announced this week several records were established in the 2012-13 scal year including sales, revenue and the amount of sales and liquor taxes collected. In a release, the PLCB credited strong wine sales as one factor, noting a 6 percent increase. The sale of spirits was up 3.7 percent and overall sales were up 1.4 percent. The boost in sales produced a boost in state revenue, too. About $311 million was collected through the liquor tax, and $121 million in sales tax was paid. On top of those taxes, the PLCB must pay $80 million to the states general fund this year, an amount set by Gov. Tom Corbett during the budget process. Corbett, an outspoken critic of the states involvement in the liquor business, has been unsuccessful so far in getting Pennsylvania out of it. Its one of only two states that still controls the liquor industry. The other is Utah. Corbett pushed his liquor privatization plan

From page 1A conduit for employees to become philanthropic. We are now moving to a new model that will assure that donor dollars have the most meaningful impact on our community, Sordoni said. Agencies and non-prots cant live on the United Way alone. We are beginning a process to determine what the community needs and wants. Jones said the United Way is changing its model to better address the struggles and problems facing the community. The new approach will be implemented in 2015, he said, but the plan is being worked on now. He said the reality being dealt with is that his agency may never be able to raise enough money to meet the growing needs of the community. If the United Way truly wants to make a signicant difference and ensure its work has a greater, lasting impact, the goal should not be about meeting existing and growing needs, Jones said. The work and focus should really be on reducing needs. Jones said the United Way has begun its strategic planning process and is seeking input from all segments of the community. By early 2014, Jones said, the United Way hopes to create a vision for a better future and put stakes in the ground around targeted priorities leading to real change and then develop impact strategies that will be implemented by 2015. Taking stock of goals The level of social services need in the Wyoming Valley continues to grow. Jones said United Way agencies across the country are marking signicant changes in their approach. The philosophy is that to address larger, systemic issues, the organization needs to deal with the conditions that created them in the rst place. Jones said that in 2005 United Way Worldwide updated its Standards of Excellence, which reected the organizations strategic shift from its traditional role as a fundraiser to a new mission focused on identifying and addressing the long-term needs of communities.

throughout the budget process, but the state House and the Senate, both controlled by his Republican Party, could not agree on a plan. It is still something many in both chambers believe will be revisited this session. Democratic stance Instead of guring out ways to sell off the liquor system, House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody, a Clarks Summit native, said the system should be congratulated and given the power to modernize itself. The wine and spirits stores are a resounding success story for Pennsylvania taxpayers.
The state employees who made this happen should be congratulated. With more freedom to modernize the system of wine and liquor sales, they could increase prots even more while maintaining protections against illegal sales, said Dermody, D-Oakmont. Sales growth and operational expense control at the states 600 wine and spirit shops resulted in revenues of $2.17 billion. Net income stood at $128.4 million, a $24.9 million, or 24 percent, increase over the prior scal year. Gross margin increased to 31.15 percent compared to last
years level of 30.88 percent. Through continued cost control and reviews, agency operating expenses remained essentially at at $387.5 million. The Commonwealth Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Harrisburg, issued a statement saying the bulk of the LCBs prot was generated by taxes, and the record revenues and sales only tell part of the story. Privately owned liquor stores would produce the same revenue or more, as private companies pay additional taxes and licensing fees, the organization argued.

From page 1A Jackson townships. Jean Mudlock and Dominic Panetta, tax collectors for Jenkins Township and Sugar Notch, as well as Hanover Township commissioners Russell Davis, Michael Mazur and Jeffrey Lewis are also named as plaintiffs. Attorney John Dean, who represents the county in the matter, said Thursday he is confident the ordinance will stand based on research he has conducted. This is the next procedural step, Dean said. Its a legal argument for the court to decide. The original suit was filed in March, stating Luzerne County Council passed an ordinance on Feb. 12 giving the county Budget and Finance Office the duties of billing and collecting county real estate taxes as of Jan. 1, 2014. Six of the 11 county council members supported the change, citing a projected $258,555 in annual savings from in-house collection. No hearings had previously been scheduled for the original complaint. The ordinance takes affect in less than four months. Thursdays filing requests a hearing date and that the county be prohibited from enforcing the ordinance. Luzerne Countys charter contains no authority for the county to undertake the direct collection of real estate taxes assessed by the county, Thursdays filing states. The countys Home Rule Charter makes no mention whatsoever of the means by which county real estate taxes are to be collected, the filing states, and suggests the plaintiffs and the general public will be immediately and irreparably harmed.
New Pa.chancellor to get $622,000 payout

PETER JACKSON
Associated Press
HARRISBURG The newly selected chancellor of Pennsylvanias state university system, who will be the highest-paid employee in the state government, also can look forward to a pension payout of $622,000 when he leaves his similar post in Florida, ofcials said Thursday. The lump-sum payment to Frank Brogan represents the amount he has accrued in a deferred retirement option program that is designed to entice state employees with more than 30 years service to remain in public service for up to ve additional years. The payment is in addition to the more
than $16,000 a month in regular pension benets that Brogan is projected to receive once he leaves Floridas payroll, according to the Florida Department of Management Services. He will begin receiving the monthly pension checks when he separates from (Florida) state employment and lls out all necessary paperwork, said department spokesman Ben Wolf. Brogan, a former Florida lieutenant governor who has been chancellor of the State University System of Florida since 2009, was selected over two other nalists to be the fourth chancellor of Pennsylvanias 14-university State System of Higher Education. He starts Oct. 1.

Scott shows masterful form,shares lead at Oak Hill

Masters champion tied with Furyk at PGA Championship.
DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer pITTSFORD, N.Y. With every major, Adam Scott is making a convincing case that he isnt satised with just a green jacket. Scott ran off ve straight birdies early in his round at soft and vulnerable Oak Hill, and nished with a 15-foot par for a 5-under 65 that gave him a share of the lead Thursday with Jim Furyk in the pGA championship. Scott nally became a major champion at Augusta National in April when he won a playoff at the masters. Just three weeks ago, he had the lead on the back nine at muireld in the British Open until he made four bogeys to fall back. In the last major of the year, Scott at times looked unstoppable. His ve straight birdies quickly put him atop the leaderboard with Furyk, and after a 71-minute delay when storms moved into the area, Scott added a sixth birdie on the par-3 15th to reach 6 under. He was on pace to tie the major championship record at Oak Hill until a three-putt bogey on the 16th. Just got on a bit of a roll and hit a few shots close, Scott said. I didnt have too much putting to do. Youve got to take advantage when it happens, because it doesnt happen too much in the majors. Nothing to complain about in 65. There were hardly any complaints on Oak Hill, a course that has yielded only 10 72-hole scores under par in ve previous majors. Its only Thursday, and the players felt as if they got off easy. Rain

STATE cOLLEGE Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany is praising penn States handling of the NcAA sanctions against the football program. Delany in an interview with The Associated press cited positive reports from former Sen. George mitchell, who is monitoring penn States progress with the landmark sanctions, more than a year after they were handed down in July 2012 as a punishment for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Delany called attention to the actions of school president Rodney Erickson, athletic director Dave Joyner and secondyear coach Bill OBrien. Its been a difcult time, but each of those (persons), in each of their ways, under huge amounts of pressure and huge amounts of differences of opinion, has acquitted themselves
really well and has moved the institution to a better place, said Delany, who was visiting penn State on Thursday as part of a league tour of preseason camps. Delany spoke individually with a few media outlets at a Beaver Stadium lounge before afternoon practice Thursday. Its still got a number of years to go but the Big Ten has done what it thought needed to be done, and also, in the process, be supportive and help penn State return to a sense of wholeness, Delany said. It was difcult for the conference, but were working our way through it. penn States embraced by coaches, athletic directors and the presidents. penn State is entering the second of a four-year postseason ban, which includes participation in the Big Ten title game, though the Nittany Lions are still eligible for the See DELANEY | 3B

NFL teams opt for no tackling in camp

ROB MAADDI
AP Pro Football Writer
pHILADELpHIA DeSean Jackson caught michael Vicks pass over the middle, took a couple steps and braced himself for a hit that Kurt coleman never delivered. Hard to break the habit. Jackson and the rest of the philadelphia Eagles have nothing to worry about this training camp. Tackling is a no-no for coach chip Kelly. We have four preseason games for that, Kelly said. When 30,000 fans came to Lincoln Financial Field to see the Eagles rst practice in full pads under Kelly, they saw fast-paced, up-tempo action. But they didnt see any hitting.
That was a shock, particularly to older fans who watched physical summer practices when Andy Reid, Buddy Ryan and Dick Vermeil coached the Eagles. Its like theyre playing two-hand touch now, said longtime fan Joe Iazulla. They dont even hit each other anymore. Its sissy football. Former players were surprised, too. Brian Dawkins, Garry cobb and others watched from the sideline on Alumni Day in disbelief. They wondered why they had to endure those rough, two-a-day practices not so long ago. We used to kill each other in camp, said cobb, a linebacker for Detroit, philadelphia and Dallas from 1979-89. Buddy worked us so hard that veteran players sometimes wanted to quit right there on
the eld. It was grueling. We left a lot of years on that practice eld in training camp. many of us couldve played longer in the NFL if we didnt hit that much in camp. No tackling is new to the Eagles, but its become normal around the NFL. Teams have been trending toward less physical camps in recent years, especially after the new collective bargaining agreement limited the number of practices and hitting. The league is being sued by about 4,200 players who say they suffer from dementia, Alzheimers disease and other neurological conditions, which they believe stem from oneld concussions. Kellys explanation is injury prevention, though hes already lost three See cAmp | 4B
The NcAA is getting out of the memorabilia business. NcAA president mark Emmert said Thursday it would stop the practice immediately after reports this week that team jerseys and other items linked to individual schools could be found on its own website by searching for specic player names. I think seeing the NcAA sell those kinds of goods is a mistake, Emmert said during a conference call with reporters. Its not what the NcAA is about. So were not going to be doing that any longer. The NcAA is being sued by former players and a handful of current college players in federal court over the use of athlete images and likenesses. And just this past week, ESpN reported that the NcAA is investigating Heisman Trophywinner Johnny manziel for allegedly being paid to sign memorabilia, which if true could jeopardize eligibility as a violation of NcAA amateurism rules. Emmert said the commercial site wont be completely removed because there is still a market for generic NcAA apparel. He said the NcAA had hired another company to run the site, ShopNcAASports.com. mark Lewis, the NcAAs executive vice president for championships and alliances, also released a statement, saying university merchandise would not be offered, either. In the coming days, the stores website will be shut down temporarily and reopen in a few weeks as a marketplace
for NcAA championship merchandise only, Lewis said. After becoming aware of issues with the site, we determined the core function of the NcAA. com fan shop should not be to offer merchandise licensed by our member schools. The move overshadowed a news conference that was intended to update reporters about possible changes to the NcAAs governance structure. members of the board of directors and executive had a preliminary discussion on potential changes, though no vote is expected until next August. Instead, the hot topics became manziel, NcAA rules and the website asco. Board chairman Nathan Hatch was asked whether some of the NcAA rules regarding payments to college athletes should be modied. I stand by the NcAAs commitment to amateurism, and I believe the way weve done that is the correct

Lewis turning heads in first week of camp

Receiver dazzling coaches with circus catches in practice
DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
STATE COLLEGE On Penn States updated ofcial roster for the fall, hes now listed by his nickname, Geno. Eugene Lewis is perfectly happy to answer to either name as he gets ready for his rst action with the Nittany Lions in a few short weeks. And whether they called him Eugene, Geno or Lewis, his coaches and teammates couldnt stop talking about him on Thursday at media day at Beaver Stadium. It seems Lewis, one of the Wyoming Valley Conferences top athletes in recent history, has developed a penchant for high-
light reel catches in practice. One in particular from Wednesday is still fresh in the minds of the Lions. Unable to shake Adrian Amos, the teams top defensive back, Lewis eyed a pass coming in high and simply scaled the 6-foot safety and brought the ball in over his head with one hand. Oh man, receivers coach Stan Hixon said, recounting it a day later. He had a very, very he had an unbelievable one-handed catch the other day, head coach Bill OBrien said. It was with his right hand. He never brought his left hand in (to secure the ball). Nobody else could do it, Hixon said. Its another weapon for the Lions to use this season while breaking in a new quarterback. Lewis skill was never in question. What he needed to improve on mostly during his redshirt season was his route-running and
fundamentals. Playing more at quarterback than at receiver at Wyoming Valley West, Lewis could often fall back on his pure talent to make plays without having to worry much about technique. Hixon said Lewis has greatly improved in that regard since last summer, and Lewis agrees. Ive come a long way from last year, Lewis said. I learned a lot of things about speed and route running and converting my routes against different coverages. Coach Hixon has taught me a lot, and Im looking forward to more in the future. Inrmary report If its the start of camp, its also the start of the injury list for the Lions. Already without defensive end Brad Bars (ruptured Achilles) for the season, OBrien revealed Thursday that true freshman wideout DaeSean Hamilton will sit out all of 2013 to fully heal from a

wrist injury he suffered in high school. Also on the shelf for the time being is redshirt freshman tight end Brent Wilkerson, who will be out for awhile with a back injury, according to OBrien.
Linebacker Ben Kline sat out the spring while recovering from shoulder surgery and has been in and out of practice during the rst week of camp because of it. Kline did not participate on Thursday. OBrien said he hopes
Kline will be ready to go for the opener against Syracuse. But Klines prolonged absence all but cements Valley Views Nyeem Wartman into a starting role at outside linebacker for the opener. Starting tailback Zach
Zwinak (wrist) did practice on Thursday, albeit in a red no-contact jersey typically reserved for quarterbacks. Though Zwinak wouldnt go into specics about the injury, which he suffered back in the Blue-White Game, he didnt hesitate when asked if hed be ready to face Syracuse. Absolutely, Zwinak said. Special teams shake-up A side effect of John Butlers promotion to defensive coordinator means he will no longer be overseeing special teams on gameday this fall. Yeah, Im not Superman, Butler joked. Instead, all facets of special teams will be handled by assistants Ron Vanderlinden and Charles London during the week in practice and on gameday. Last season multiple assistants split the duties during practices before Butler took charge on Saturdays.
Battle
From page 1B nent. OBrien actually backed off a bit from his earlier pronouncements that he would name a starter after the rst two weeks of camp. Ehh. Maybe, OBrien said. Im going to do whats best for the football team. I hope you didnt mark it on your calendar so youre all outside my ofce in two weeks, a week from now, whatever. Just hold your horses. With players talented but still very raw, its going to be a tough choice. OBrien was quick to praise both signal-callers and said he was impressed with how prepared both have been to battle for the starting job. Ferguson, of course, had the advantage of a full winter workout session and spring practice, getting direct instruction from OBrien and quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher. Hackenbergs rst of tutelage didnt come until this past Monday when camp opened. For Ferguson, it was important to show the coaching staff that he had progressed with his understanding of the playbook since spring ball ended. It was especially key for him to show that he did not miss a beat despite spending most of July back home in California dealing with family issues. Tyler came back and hes shown that hes studied in the offseason since spring practice, OBrien said. They make their share of mistakes, Tyler makes his share of mistakes, but hes had a good three days. And Christian, for just being here for the rst time putting the pads on and practicing football, hes done a really nice job of studying and trying to get better every day. Again, its only three days, but were certainly pleased with where theyre at right now. When Penn State took the practice eld Thursday afternoon, Ferguson opened by taking center exchanges with rst-teamer Ty Howle and spent much of his time with the

Were only in the rst year of a four- or ve-year process. I think its a little premature, but theres a process for that if the time is right. Penn State is also the linchpin for the formation of the new Big Ten mens hockey league set to
begin this fall. The school upgraded its mens hockey program to Division I status, joining Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio State to give the league six teams. A new hockey arena is set to open in a few months, just down the street and around the corner from Beaver Stadium. Delany said he expected to announce a robust league media package soon for hockey. I think our championship will grow, and I think youll see that growth pretty immediately, Delany said. Im very bullish on hockey.

Dwyer hoping not to be odd man out in backfield

AP Sports Writer
WILL GRAVES
LATROBE Jonathan Dwyer doesnt count reps. Not in practice. Not in walkthroughs. Not in games. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back knows its out of his hands. If he got caught up worrying about how many times he touched the ball compared to Isaac Redman and rookie LeVeon Bell, his focus wouldnt be in the right place anyway. Dwyer understands hell get his chance. The when is almost irrelevant. I just want to get time, whether its the rst team, the third team, the fth team if we had one, Dwyer said. I just want to do what I can do and show that all my hard work has paid off. He might have to wait his turn in the preseason opener against the New York Giants on Saturday night. Coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Bell taken in the second round of the 2013 draft will get a chance to work with the starters to get a read on how quickly hes acclimated to life in the NFL. I think he has earned that, Tomlin said of Bell. But, dont be surprised to see him play after those guys are out of the game as well. He, like a lot
of guys, we need to get a lot of exposure to. The news didnt come as a shock to Dwyer. He understood when the Steelers chose Bell with the 42nd overall selection in the draft that Bell would be given every opportunity to win the starting gig. Its also one of the reasons Dwyer spent the offseason shedding 25-30 pounds, hoping a slender physique would give him a dash of quickness and a more durable frame. On the cusp of a true breakout season after topping 100 yards in wins over Cincinnati and Washington in October, nagging hamstring problems kept him from getting a rm grip on the top of the depth chart. Two fumbles, including one in an ugly 20-14 loss to Cleveland that sapped the Steelers of any late-season momentum, didnt help. Dwyer understands most players who lead an NFL team in rushing over the course of an entire season dont enter the next training camp ghting for their careers. Yet his 623 yards were the fewest by the teams top rusher since Merrill Hoge ran for 610 yards in 1991. Dwyer quietly signed a one-year tender in the offseason and is well versed in the long-term ramications if he cant squeeze into the lineup. Yet the 24-year-old is stress-

PHILADELPHIA Michael Vick or Nick Foles? Might as well ip a coin. Vick will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener against New England on Friday night only because its his turn to go rst in the quarterback rotation. Foles also will take snaps with the starters, and the secondyear pro will start the second preseason game. It was Mikes day in the rotation, that was the easiest way for us to do it and then well make sure the rotation works out that Nick will get the start next week, coach Chip Kelly said Thursday. The two of those guys, we feel like weve got it balanced out. We met with those guys this morning. They were great with it, so thats kind of our plan going in. Both Vick and Foles are expected to get between 12 and 20 snaps vs. the Patriots. The two QBs have been competing for the No. 1 job since Kellys arrival in Philadelphia. It doesnt mean anything, Vick said about the start. The only thing I want to do is go out there and have fun, play the game, play with a purpose, enjoy every snap, try to make the most out of it as long as Im out there and just try to be consistent like I have throughout camp and have fun playing the game. Rookie Matt Barkley will come in after Vick and Foles in the second quarter and play through the third. Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne will play the fourth. mates hes around 230 pounds, and the difference on the eld is noticeable. You feel a lot quicker once you have the ball, he said. You feel like you can make something happen once you touch it. They can see that youre in shape. Tomlin would love for a true No. 1 back to emerge before the season opener against Tennessee. Though the Steelers have committed to Bell in the long-term, in the short-term theyll take whoever wants the ball the most. Dwyer remains insistent he can be that guy. If I produce when Im out there, that will show what Im capable of, Dwyer said. People know I can be a starter in this league. Pittsburgh knows and there are teams around this league that know.

ing a team rst mentality. He and Bell have the same agent, and Dwyer reached out to Bell shortly after the draft to welcome him to Pittsburgh. Dwyer wasnt being magnanimous as much as he was simply trying to do for a rookie what was done for him when he was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 draft. Hes like my big brother, Bell said of Dwyer. He helped me out when we got here on the eld or in the lm room. If I can possibly help him out in some way, Im going to try to. The Steelers have praised Bell for his versatility, par-
ticularly his ability to catch the ball out of the backeld. Its an area Dwyer would like to improve in, though he did collect 18 receptions last fall. More often he was brought in during passing situations to serve as the last line of defense for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Its a job in which Dwyer is remarkably effective. Call it the byproduct of being a compact 5-foot-11. To be honest, though, Dwyer looks taller now that hes leaner. The baby fat is gone, part of a conscious decision by Dwyer to take better care of himself. He esti-

ANDERSON, Ind. Walk around Colts training camp, and its like taking a trip around the world. You were born in Japan, too? offensive lineman Emmett Cleary asked receiver Rodrick Rumble after one recent practice. Yeah, man, Rumble said as the two undrafted rookies walked into the locker room together. Rumble didnt last long. He was one of two players cut Thursday morning.

From page 1B three players for the season to ACL tears in the rst two weeks of camp. When you get guys on the ground, its not really the two guys that get tackled, its whats chasing it, Kelly said. Were trying to keep everybody in every situation up. If Im blocking my guy and Im trying to nish to the whistle, two guys in front of me fell, thats where the biggest thing occurs. Its the pileups. Most of the time its not the tackle or the tackler, its the rest of the guys coming through. You have a lot of big bodies moving. Theres a ne line what we have to get done from a work standpoint. We also know we have to get our guys to the game, too. Reid, who was red after 14 seasons in Philadelphia, took his opposite approach to Kansas City. The Chiefs werent used to tackling in camp under recent coaches Romeo Crennel and Todd Haley. You have to be a good tackling team, Reid said. Normally, good tackling teams end up playing late in the year or I guess, early in the year. That philosophy didnt work for Reid last year when the Eagles nished 4-12 and had one of the worst tackling defenses in recent history. But Reids teams went to the playoffs nine times and he usually had them playing their best football late in the season. Its football, so youre going to get hit, Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles said. I think we

MIAMI Miami Heat fan Brian Hartline was heading for the exit after a game when he encountered the wife of Pat Riley. He held the door for her and they visited briey, but Hartline says Chris Riley didnt know who he was. I was just trying to stay in my lane, he says with a laugh. Hartlines one of the Dolphins best players, AP photo but his teams prole is minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen hits a tackling a little lower now that Miamis a basketball dummy during training camp in mankato, minn. need to get hit as early as possible. We dont need to wait until the last minute to get hit. I think its good. Far more AFC teams tackle in camp than in the NFC. The New York Jets, Miami, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Denver and San Diego tackle to the ground to some degree whether its scrimmages, 9-on-7 drills or goal-line situations. Youre not going to keep a guy on defense if he cant tackle, but you better nd out, Jets coach Rex Ryan said. In the NFC, Detroit, Atlanta, San Francisco, Green Bay and Dallas have tackled to the ground on rare occasions such as open scrimmages for fans. Weve had a couple of periods where we have gone live tackling, not very many, Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. I think everybody is going to try to control that. Youre not going to have full contact and things like that. Former players disagree. We used to tackle in every drill, said Brian Baldinger, an offensive lineman for Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Dallas from 1982-93. Theres a science to tackling and maintaining proper technique. You can only get better at it by practicing and now they dont even practice it. Many coaches yell at players if they hit teammates too hard and nobody wants to see scufes anymore. Its a far cry from the days of Buddy Ryan and his rugged defense in Philadelphia. Buddy used to encourage guys he knew wouldnt make the team to start ghts, Cobb said. Now, its all about wrapping up instead of tackling and hugging instead of hitting. It is what it is, Tennessee defensive coordinator Jerry Gray said.

town. Football has always been No. 1 in the South, in Florida and in South Florida. The Dolphins have by far the deepest roots and rich- Ross est tradition of any pro team in Miami, thanks to Don Shula, Dan Marino and the Perfect Season. The Heat even honored Marino by hanging his jersey in their arena. But since LeBron James brought his talents to South Beach, the Heat have overshadowed
the Dolphins, reaching the NBA Finals three years in a row and winning the past two championships. During the same span the Dolphins have gone 20-28, including 7-9 in 2012, and their most recent postseason victory was in 2000. Heat games are sellouts, while the Dolphins often play in a half-empty stadium. Hartline, an Ohio native and longtime fan of James, attended a couple of Heat playoff games this year and says any eclipse
in the fans interest is temporary. Its still a football town, he says. Weve just got to make them rebelieve. Wins is what its all about. Center Mike Pouncey agrees. He attended more than half a dozen Heat games last season and says the Dolphins need to emulate their success. When you win, everythings good, Pouncey says. The fans are into it, and your job is easier. Thats something were trying to get here change things around and get back to a winning pro-
TAMPA, FLA. Joe Flacco was sharp in his preseason debut, Bernard Pierce scored on a 20-yard run and a revamped Baltimore defense forced four turnovers in the Ravens 44-16 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw a pair of TD passes for the Super Bowl champions, including a 21-yarder to LaQuan Williams, who also scored when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. Josh Freeman and the rest of Tampa Bays starters played sparingly, so most of Baltimores scoring came against backups and newcomers to a defense that ranked last in the NFL against the pass last season. Flacco signed a $120.1 million contract this offseason after leading the Ravens
SAN FRANCISCO Cornerback Eric Wright has joined the San Francisco 49ers after all. The free agent defensive back signed a one-year contract Thursday and was placed on the non-football injury/illness list while he handles a personal matter, the 49ers said. San Francisco released cornerback Lowell Rose to clear room on the roster. Wright had been traded to the reigning NFC champions last month for a conditional draft pick in 2014, but he failed his physical, nullifying the deal. Tampa Bay then released Wright. San Francisco needed depth in the secondary after cornerback Chris Culliver was lost to a season-ending
knee injury Aug. 1. Shortly after the trade, reports surfaced that Wright had been arrested a week earlier in Los Angeles on an unspecied misdemeanor charge. General manager Trent Baalke said the team was aware of the situation. Wright was arrested in 2012 on felony DUI charges and was suspended for four games last season by the NFL for violating the performance enhancing drug policy in his rst season with the Bucs. He nished with 37 tackles and one interception in 10 games, all starts. The 28-year-old Wright, a San Francisco native in his seventh NFL season, signed a ve-year, $35.3 million contract with Tampa Bay last year. The Niners move to trade for Wright immediately raised eyebrows after coach Jim Harbaughs comments during the teams June minicamp he made it clear he wouldnt accept
players breaking the NFLs policy on PEDs for a perceived edge. While Wright wasnt previously on the roster after the trade was nullied, Harbaugh made it clear his stand was the same.
Arizona gets DE hagans off waivers from Steelers
TEMPE, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals have obtained defensive end Cordian Hagans off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hagans, 6-foot-4 and 299 pounds, is a rookie free agent from LouisianaLafayette. He had 41 tackles, ve sacks, 8 tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries in his senior season for the Ragin Cajuns. He was an offensive lineman his rst two collegiate seasons. To make room on the roster, the Cardinals released cornerback Josh Hill.

PITTSBURGH Russell Martins pinch-hit single with two outs in the 10th inning lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Miami Marlins 5-4 Thursday for their fth straight win. Martin delivered his fourth game-ending hit at PNC Park this year for the NL Central leaders. The Pirates swept the three-game series and improved to 70-44, the best record in the majors. Miami lost its fth in a row. Josh Harrison opened the 10th with a single off Steve Ames (0-1) and took second on Clint Barmes sacrice bunt. After Jose Tabata bounced out and Starling Marte was intentionally walked, Martin batted for Jared Hughes (2-2) and grounded a single down the left-eld line. Neil Walker had three hits and two RBIs for Pittsburgh. Marte had two hits. Marlins rookie Christian Yelich had three hits, including his rst major league homer. Giants 4, Brewers 1 SAN FRANCISCO Tim Lincecum pitched another gem, allowing only one hit over eight shutout innings and leading the Giants past the Brewers. Lincecum, who threw his rst career no-hitter on July 13 at San Diego, permitted just a double to Juan Francisco leading off the third inning. Lincecum (6-11) struck out eight and walked one in eight innings before getting pulled for a pinch-hitter. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner had been 0-2 in three starts since throwing 148 pitches in his nohitter. Brandon Belt hit a threerun homer in the rst inning off Donovan Hand (0-4). Marco Scutaro and Brandon Crawford each added three hits. Phillies 12, Cubs 1 PHILADELPHIA Ethan Martin earned his

rst major league win, Cody Asche hit his rst home run and the Phillies routed the Cubs. Asches two-run drive capped a six-run burst in the fourth inning that made it 10-1. He had three hits and fellow rookie Darin Ruf also homered. Martin (1-1) got more than enough support. He pitched ve innings and allowed one run and four hits, striking out four and walking three. Nat Schierholtz homered in the fourth. Chase Utley delivered an RBI double on the day the Phillies announced a new contract with the star second baseman that goes through the 2015 season. Jeff Samardzija (6-11) was chased in the fourth inning. The game was delayed by rain for 22 minutes in the seventh inning. Mets 2, Rockeis 1 NEW YORK Dillon Gee followed Matt Harveys rst career shutout with an impressive outing of his own, helping the Mets beat Colorado and sending the Rockies home after matching the worst road trip in team history. Gee (8-8) scattered eight hits without yielding a walk in 7 2-3 innings to win for the rst time since July 14. He allowed Corey Dickersons homer leading off the fourth inning. Rookie Wilmer Flores had an RBI groundout and Anthony Recker a sacri-
ce y off spot starter Jeff Manship as the Mets completed their rst three-game sweep over the Rockies since 2008 at Shea Stadium. Manship (0-1) was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs for the start because right-hander Tyler Chatwood experienced inammation in his right elbow after a bullpen session Tuesday. Chatwood was throwing to test a tight hamstring that forced Colorado to push back his start two days to Thursday. Now hes headed to the DL, the latest blow for the sinking Rockies. Tigers 10, Indians 3 CLEVELAND Max Scherzer became baseballs rst 17-game winner and the Detroit Tigers posted their 12th straight victory, routing the Cleveland Indians. Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs as the AL Central leaders completed a fourgame sweep and opened a seven-game lead over the second-place Indians. Scherzer (17-1) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings. He helped the Tigers beat Cleveland for the 12th time in their last 13 meetings. Clevelands futility for the series was summed up when manager Terry Francona let utilityman Ryan Raburn pitch the ninth inning. Raburn retired three straight hitters, striking out Matt Tuiasosopo, in his professional pitching debut and drew a standing ovation.

Philadelphia announces deal with 2B Utley through 2015

PHILADELPHIA Chase Utley wanted to stick with the Philadelphia Phillies, and they were glad to keep him. The Phillies have announced a deal with the All-Star second baseman on Thursday that extends through the 2015 season. The 34-year-old Utley was in the nal season of a seven-year, $85 million contract. The new contract is believed to be worth around $27 million for two years with several options. I think its pretty clear that Im extremely excited to continue my career here in Philly, Utley said. Ive said it several times, but the fan base here in Philadelphia is the best in all of baseball, and to have the opportunity to play in front of them nightly is special. Utley will be 40 if all his options vest and the contract takes him through the 2018 season, making it a likely possibility that he will play his entire career in Philadelphia. We wanted him to be a Phillie for life, and that was kind of the goal, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. Theres some risk here obviously because hes had some issues. We think hes past those, and hopefully hell continue to be the player we expect him to be. I couldnt be happier and the organization couldnt be happier. Utley spoke after hitting two doubles and scoring twice in a 12-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. The

ve-time All-Star is batting .280 with 15 home runs and 44 RBIs Utley has never tested the open market and may have left some money on the table, but he claimed that never concerned him. I wanted to stay in this uniform, but also I wanted to be treated fairly, he said. I wasnt trying to break the bank. I just wanted to be treated fairly in the marketplace that we were in. Ive talked to some guys who have played here in our organization, and the grass isnt always greener on the other side. Utley is playing in his 11th season in the majors, all with the Phillies. He has been slowed by knee trouble in the past, but that hasnt been a problem this year. Chase epitomizes what
were all about here and what we expect from our Phillies players, Amaro said. And the fact that he wanted to stay here, thats important to us. But more importantly, hes going to be and has been one of the most important parts of our club. Utley is one of six Phillies players remaining from the 2008 team that won the franchises second World Series title. He then hit ve home runs, tying Reggie Jacksons record, in the 2009 World Series loss to the Yankees. The Phillies have regressed since then and, at 52-62, will likely miss the playoffs for the second straight season this year. Utley hopes to be a part of the rebuilding process and believes things can turn around quickly. Weve had some great times over the past seven or eight years, and I truly believe we can get back to where we were, he said. Utley ranks eighth in Phillies history in home runs (214), eighth in doubles (291), eighth in extrabase hits (546) and rst in hit by pitches (154). For six seasons from 2005-2010, Utley led all major league second basemen in homers (162), RBIs (572), runs (628) and slugging percentage (.523). Originally selected by his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers out of high school in the second round of the 1997 draft, Utley passed up pro ball and attended UCLA. Three years later, the Phillies took him with the 15th overall pick.
BUFFALO, N.Y. The RailRiders have the best doubleheader record in the International League. But that didnt matter on Thursday as Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre was swept in a twinbill by Buffalo, dropping the opener 5-2 and the nightcap 2-1 at CocaCola Field. With the losses, the RailRiders record in doubleheaders this season fell to 14-8. In the opener, Buffalo jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second on a booming two-run homer to straightaway center by Moises Sierra. The RailRiders got a run back in the top of the fourth when J.R. Murphy doubled then scored when Dan Johnson reached on an error. The next batter, Randy Ruiz, walked to put runners on rst and second with one out, but Buffalo starter Thad Weber retired Ronnier Mustelier and Brent Lillibridge to get out of the jam. Corey Pattersons solo shot in the fth tied the game at 2-2. It was Pattersons third homer since joining the RailRiders in June. The tied score was short-lived though as Sean Ochinko singled in a run the next inning as Buffalo regained the lead, 3-2. Sierra blasted a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend Buffalos lead. Sierra had a huge game in the opener going 3 for 3 with four RBI and scored three runs scored. RailRiders starter Chris Bootcheck pitched all six innings, allowing the ve runs on seven hits as his record fell to 9-6. Weber also pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits and fanning seven to improve to 6-4. The RailRiders took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second of Game 2 when Randy Ruiz (3 for 3) clubbed his 15th home run of the season, a solo shot with one out. Like the rst game, Buffalo didnt quit. The Bisons scored a pair in the bottom of the fourth on a two-out, two-run single by Adam LaRoche to grab a 2-1 lead. Brent Lillibridge played in his rst games for the RailRiders since July 18 after spending time with the Yankees and being designated for assignment. He cleared waivers, accepted the assignment to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and suited up for the team on Thursday. He nished the rst game 1 for 3 and the nightcap 0 for 4.

Aug. 9 1916 The Philadelphia As ended their 20game losing streak as Joe Bush beat the Detroit Tigers 7-1. 1939 Red Rolfe of the New York Yankees started a streak of 18 consecutive games in which he scored at least one run. During those games, he scored a total of 30 runs. 1960 Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit home run No. 511 to tie Mel Ott for fourth place on the all-time list. 1975 Davey Lopes of the Los Angeles Dodgers stole his 32nd consecutive base without being caught in a 2-0 victory over the New York Mets, breaking Max Careys 1922 record. Lopes tacked on six more steals before being caught on Aug. 24. 1976 John Candelaria became the first Pirates pitcher in 69 years to throw a no-hitter in Pittsburgh by blanking the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0. Candelarias no-hitter came at Three Rivers Stadium. No Pirate ever threw a no-hitter at Forbes Field. 1981 Baseball returned following the strike with the All-Star game in Cleveland before a crowd of 72,086. Gary Carter of the Montreal Expos hit two home runs to give the NL a 5-4 triumph over the AL. Vida Blue became the first pitcher to win an All-Star game in both leagues. His AL victory came in 1971 at Detroit. 1998 Dennis Martinez became the winningest Latin pitcher in baseball history, breaking Juan Marichals record of 243 victories. Martinez pitched a perfect eighth inning and got the victory when Chipper Jones hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves held on for the win. 2001 Mike Hampton tied the NL record for pitchers with his seventh homer as the Rockies beat the Cubs 14-5. Hamptons seventh homer matched the NL mark shared by Don Drysdale (1958, 1965) and Don Newcombe (1955). The major league record is nine by Clevelands Wes Ferrell in 1931.

Montoya,Ambrose ready to pounce at The Glen

AP Sports Writer
JOHN KEKIS
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. Smokes out. Juan Pablo Montoya and Marcos Ambrose are desperate to get in. With only ve races remaining before NASCARs Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins, Tony Stewarts chances of winning a fourth series title more than likely vanished
Monday night on an Iowa race track. Stewart was injured driving his openwheel sprint car when it ipped, and he remains in a hospital recovering from surgery to stabilize two broken bones in his right leg. Stewarts streak of 521 consecutive NASCAR starts will end Sunday on the road course at Watkins Glen International. Its a big disappointment for Stewart, who is 11th in the points standings with one victory

and has a record ve Cup triumphs at The Glen. Max Papis will drive Stewarts No. 14 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing in the Cheez-It 355 this weekend. I mean, obviously, its a huge letdown to everybody at Stewart-Haas, knowing that we were making some great strides, said Greg Zipadelli, Stewarts longtime crew chief and current competition director at SHR. I felt like we were peaking at the right time. The top 10 drivers in the points standings automatically qualify for the 10-race Chase, and the nal two wild-card spots go to the drivers in 11th to 20th place
with the most victories. Barring a bad race, Stewarts absence will give SHR teammate Ryan Newman a break. Newman only trails his boss by 19 points and is on the rise with a victory at Indianapolis and a fourthplace nish last week at Pocono in the last two Cup races. Still, with Stewart missing from the 43-car eld, Montoya and Ambrose have one less driver to fret about as they seek that elusive rst win of what has been a difcult season for both. A victory by either driver would vault him into the top 20 in the standings and into wildcard consideration for the
Chase. A victory on an oval before the Chase cutoff after Richmond also would be needed, something neither has been able to accomplish in his Sprint Cup career. Montoya and Ambrose share a unique distinction: each has two Cup victories, and theyve all come on the two road courses NASCARs top series visits annually. Montoya has one victory each at Sonoma (2007) and Watkins Glen (2010), while Ambrose will be chasing his third straight victory at The Glen. The only thing we need to do at The Glen to have a chance of winning is not screw up, said Montoya,

Newboro Lake provides some of the best bass shing anywhere. Both large and smallmouth bass are plentiful. The Pike shing is excellent though we dont see pike over 13 pounds. What they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Newboro Lake is one of the very few lakes in Canada with a sh sanctuary on it and is the only one with two. These protected areas and the catch and release practice of many of our guests results in amazingly stable and consistent shing. Newboro Lake has it all; from lily pads in the shallows, tree stumps, weedy areas, hundreds of islands, depths to over 100 feet and beautiful clear water limestone rock formations (which means acid rain is neutralized) its easy to see why shermen have made this a favorite spot for well over 120 years.

Ill guarantee you were in the top three. Worst-case scenario were fourth. If we run out of brakes, well nish fth. Ambrose has become the newest master of the highspeed turns at The Glen,

Ambrose has won all three Nationwide races hes entered at Watkins Glen, and in ve Cup starts here has two wins, one second and two thirds, including an impressive drive from last to third for the Wood Brothers in 2008.

From page 1B Oak Hill, except on this day. There were 35 rounds under par, compared with only a dozen rounds in the 60s when the PGA Championship was here 10 years ago. The round realistically could have been under par easily, Woods said. Furyk, who won his lone major at the U.S. Open in 2003 at Olympia Fields, has gone nearly three years since his last win at the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and win PGA Tour player of the year. Still fresh are the four close calls from a year ago, including the U.S. Open. He was as steady as Scott, rarely putting himself in trouble until the end of the round. Furyk missed the fairway to the right and had to pitch out because of thick rough and trees blocking his way to the green. That led to his only bogey, but still his lowest first-round score in 19 appearances at the PGA Championship. Usually disappointed with ending the day on a bogey, Furyk said. But you know, 65, PGA, is not so bad. David Hearn of Canada, an alternate until a week ago, had a 66 in the morning. Also at 66 was Lee Westwood, who had his best score ever in the PGA and offered evidence that there was no hangover from losing a 54-hole lead in the British Open last month. There were no record scores at Oak Hill despite the soft conditions, just a lot of low rounds. If you dont hit it in the fairways, then you wont score well, Westwood said. These guys are good. There are a lot of good players playing in the tournament. Somebody is going to hit it straight, and somebody is going to shoot a good score. Even Rory McIlroy got in on the act. The defending champion, at the end of a major season that has been a major disappointment, came out firing with three birdies on the opening four holes and made the turn

More birdies at Oak Hill for Kuchar

Casey reached as high as No. 3 in the world just four years ago until a series of injuries. He went through most of 2011 with a right foot problem, which made it painful to shift his weight during the swing. Just as he was regaining his strength, he broke his collarbone in a snowboard accident. Casey tried to return too early, but his game got worse and his world ranking plunged. This was the second straight year he qualied for only two majors, and if not for his win at the Irish Open, he likely would have missed the PGA Championship. Without sounding sort of cocky, I feel like I enjoy it out here. I belong out here; I love it out here, Casey said after opening with a 67. Having missed so many, Im very appreciative being back on the big stage. Its
a classic tale of you dont realize how much youre missing something until its gone. Casey didnt show up at Oak Hill in perfect health. He was so sick last week at Firestone that he got in only one practice round at Oak Hill on Wednesday. Maybe it was the best thing I could have done was to save energy for today, and I did feel fresh, he said. FRASERS FLIP: Australias Marcus Fraser was a combined 23 over for the U.S. Open and British Open this year. He appeared headed for more of the same when he opened the rst round of the PGA Championship with two bogeys. Then Fraser didnt make another bogey the rest of the way. Five birdies over an 11-hole stretch gave him a 67.

Devils in bind, close to being sold

NEWARK, N.J. A person familiar with the negotiations says several groups are vying to buy the nancially strapped New Jersey Devils, and a deal should be completed by the start of the NHL season. The source spoke to The Associated Press Thursday and requested anonymity because the negotiations between Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek and the groups are still active. Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris heads one group trying to buy the three-time Stanley Cup champions and Calgary billionaire Bill Gallacher is another, although the source said multiple groups are bidding on the deal that includes the operating rights to the Prudential Center. The team will not relocate, the source said, adding that Vanberbeek will retain a minority ownership with the Devils. The NHL said it has no interest in taking over the team, commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday after a new conference in New York to promote two outdoor games at Yankee Stadium. Earlier in the day, Forbes had reported that the league would likely take over the team in September unless a new owner was found. I havent seen the Forbes report, but if the suggestion is were going to take over the Devils, which is what Ive heard the report says, its not accurate, Bettman said a couple of hours later. The NHL recently ran the Phoenix Coyotes for four years before nding a new owner. Forbes reported the Devils have $230 million of debt and that Vanderbeek missed the rst payment on a recently restructured bank loan. Vanderbeek seemingly was close to selling the package to a group headed by Philadelphia attorney Andrew Barroway, but the deal fell through. The source said Barroways group, which has invested $30 million in the deal, is still in the mix but at this point it has been outbid. Devils general manager and president Lou Lamoriello declined to comment on the negotiations. Thats one thing I stay away from, Lamoriello said in a telephone conversation with The AP. A former Devils season ticketholder since the 1980s, Vanderbeek became a minority owner of the Devils in 2000. He purchased the team and became its majority owner in 2004. Vanderbeek was one of the leading proponents behind the building of the Prudential Center, which opened as the Devils home in 2007. The New Jersey Nets also played at the arena before moving into a new home in Brooklyn this past season. The Devils won the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003, and won additional Eastern Conference championships in 2001 and 2012. They missed the playoffs in the recent lockoutshortened season and were then stunned when 30-year-old superstar forward Ilya Kovalchuk decided to play in his native Russia. They moved to New Jersey in 1982, playing at the Meadowlands after relocating from Colorado.

NEW YORK The NHL has limited its outdoor games to one or two a year since it rst began playing them 10 years ago. In January, thats set to change. There will be four games that month, and two more in March. To the rest of North America, the events could begin to seem ordinary. But the league is condent theyll remain a strong draw to the people who matter most. For fans that want to attend, we cant do enough of them, NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman said Thursday, standing on the spot at Yankee Stadium where the Rangers will play twice in January. The week before the Super Bowl is played in New Jersey, the Rangers will take on both of their metropolitan rivals. On Sunday, Jan. 26 theyll play an afternoon game against the New Jersey Devils. Then on Jan. 29, its a night game against the Islanders.

its more storied predecessor across the street ever hosted a hockey game. The house that George Steinbrenner built should be electric. This is one of the rare events that lives up to the hype, Rangers assistant general manager Jeff Gorton said. Other outdoor games scheduled for January are a New Years Day tilt between Detroit and Toronto at Michigan Stadium, which can hold well over 100,000 fans for football, and a game at Dodger Stadium featuring the Kings and the Ducks. In March, Chicago will host Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field and Vancouver will host Ottawa at B.C. Place. The NHL expects to sell every ticket. Even if it expects to hear that its diluting the spectacle by making it more commonplace.

NCAA board starts discussing governance structure changes

AP Sports Writer
SPECIAL REPORT:
MICHAEL MAROT
The NCAA spent Thursday working on a redesigned governance structure. It will take a lot more time to get it right. With college footballs most powerful conference commissioners calling for an overhaul, the board of directors and executive committees started discussing a major overhaul to how the NCAA works. Neither board chairman Nathan Hatch nor executive committee chairwoman Lou Anna Simon offered specics. Thursdays meetings ofcially kicked off the debate that is likely take at least another year. NCAA President Mark Emmert has already invited campus leaders to a two-day sitdown at Januarys national convention. We worked very closely with the national ofce, with Marks leadership role to learn about the processes, Simon said. There is a commitment for real change. We know its going to be very hard work. We are going to play an active role and we are excited to take on that responsibility. Simon, the Michigan State president, described the discussion as animat-
ed and dynamic. Hatch, the president at Wake Forest, was far more reserved but did acknowledge the committee hopes to have a formal proposal ready to be voted on next August. There is no doubt this is an ambitious timeline, he said. But its about our commitment to best govern Division I college sports in a way that benets our athletes in the classroom and on the eld. The repeated calls for change are one more issue Emmert and those inside the Indianapolis-based headquarters have dealt with in an already turbulent year. In January, Emmert announced that a rogue enforcement ofcial improperly obtained evidence during an investigation into the University of Miami. A month later, after an external investigation concluded that the NCAA violated its own policies, committee members announced they were giving Emmert a vote of condence a rare move. Not much has gone right since then, either. There are two court cases pending, each of which could cost the NCAA millions, and a couple of weeks ago, the conference commissioner started lobbying
publicly for the governance changes. Last week, word leaked the NCAA was now investigating Heisman Trophywinner Johnny Manziel for allegedly receiving money for autographs something the NCAA declines to conrm. If proven, it would be a violation of NCAA rules and could jeopardize Manziels remaining college eligibility at Texas A&M. On Wednesday, the NCAA was stung with another embarrassing asco when USA Today reported that jerseys and other memorabilia items could be purchased on the NCAAs own web site if buyers used specic names, such as Manziel, in the search tool. Emmert said Thursday that the NCAA would be out of that business as soon as possible. So with all of that looming over headquarters, it was no wonder Simon was asked whether Emmerts job was still safe. Mark is an integral part of our process to move forward to strengthen the NCAA and college sports, Simon said, referring to changes in the governance structure. How the process plays out is still up for debate. Some believe the bigbudget schools, which
were prevented from offering athletes an additional $2,000 beyond what their scholarship covers by an override petition from schools with less money, will try to start a superdivision. The problem with that, of course, is guring out how to integrate all the other current Division I schools into the NCAAs most successful and protable event the mens basketball tournament. One thing that everyone does seem to agree, though, is that this debate must be more inclusive. In other business, the board formally approved the move of three schools to the Football Bowl Subdivision Massachusetts, South Alabama and Texas State. UMass and South Alabama still must show that they can meet the attendance requirement by showing they average 15,000 in actual attendance on a rolling two-year basis. If the requirement is not met, they will receive a notice of noncompliance and enter a 10-year probationary period. The board also approved applications for the mens National Collegiate Hockey Conference and the Golden Coast Conference in womens water polo. Those moves immediately take effect.

A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50. So when alternative medicine expert Dr. Bryce Wylde discussed an alternative on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to nd out they could nally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid, Nexium, Prilosec and other dangerous antacids. But now, according to Dr. Wylde, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract. Its as simple as that!

Russia: Rights will be respected at Sochi

President Vladimir Putin in June, bans propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations and imposes nes on those holding gay pride rallies. Mutko said the athletes can come and compete and the chase for medals should be their primary concern. This is a sports forum, he said. This is a sports festival and we have to talk only about it. Mutko raised concern last week among gay rights advocates with comments that the law would be enforced during the Sochi Games. On Thursday, he insisted that, beyond the law, Russia has a constitution that guarantees to all citizens rights for the private life and privacy. Rest assured that all the athletes and all the sports organizations should be relaxed, he said. Mutko said the issue had been blown out of proportion by a groundswell of protest and unease outside Russia. I want to ask you to calm down, he said. Mutko spoke at a news conference two days before the opening of the track and eld world champion-
MOSCOW Urging critics of Russias new antigay law to calm down, the countrys sports minister said Thursday that the rights of all athletes competing at next years Winter Olympics in Sochi will be respected. Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko did insist that athletes would have to respect the laws of the country during the Feb. 7-23 games in the Black Sea resort in southern Russia. The law, signed by
ships in Moscow. The International Association of Athletics Federations has urged Russia to reconsider its views on gay rights, but the head of track and elds ruling body said Thursday the federation did not want to raise political issues about the law. I dont have the feeling there is a problem whatsoever, IAAF President Lamine Diack said. There is a law that exists. The law has to be respected. Some things have to be respected. We are here for the world championships.

Real Customer Testimonial:

For the better part of my life I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I'd experience a burning sensation through my esophagus- like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell". Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said, "Why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said, "Aloe drink? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!" The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure. I was shocked! AloeCure tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape avor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure. Then something remarkable happened NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. And here's the best part. The next day we had Italian food - my worst enemy. But for the rst time in 40 years I didn't need pills or tablets to avoid indigestion. Thank you AloeCure! - Ralph Burns

IN BRIEF
Jobless benefit applications drop

A measure of Americans who applied for unemployment benets over the past month has fallen to its lowest level in almost six years, signaling fewer layoffs. The Labor Department said Thursday that the average number of people who applied for benets over the past four weeks dropped 6,250 to 335,500. Thats the lowest level since November 2007, the month before the Great Recession began. The four-week average smooths week to week uctuations. Weekly applications for unemployment aid increased by 5,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 333,000.
Company bringing 25 jobs to Luzerne County

PITTSTON TWP. Georgia PrintCo Northeast, a digital graphics manufacturer, will locate operations in the Grimes Industrial Park, bringing 25 new jobs to the region. Pennsylvanias economy is moving forward our unemployment rate remains below the national average and businesses are moving here to grow and succeed, said Gov. Tom Corbett, who announced the news in an emailed press release. Georgia PrintCos expansion will add 25 more jobs to the nearly 500 new jobs I have announced in Luzerne County this year. Georgia PrintCo, a privately-owned company headquartered in Lakeland, Ga., plans to purchase a previously vacant 32,000-squarefoot facility in Pittston Township formerly known as the Penox Technologies Building along Commerce Boulevard. That building has been vacant for several years, according to Rosemary Dessoye, the executive vice president of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce, who welcomed the news. The new location will allow the company to enter the market in the Northeastern United States and expand its customer base, reducing operation costs. The company will invest more than $2 million in renovations, site improvements, new equipment and employee training. The company is a wholesale digital printer and cutter of displays used as signs, banners, advertisements or decorations. We are looking forward to creating new jobs in an effort to improve the economy in this community, said Sheldon Hurst, managing partner of Georgia PrintCo. I would like to thank the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for their support and assistance in this endeavor. I am excited to bring Georgia PrintCo to Northeastern Pennsylvania. To assist with Georgia PrintCos site selection efforts, the company received a funding offer from the Department of Community and Economic Development, including a $50,000 Pennsylvania First Program grant; $50,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits; and $11,250 in Guaranteed Free Training, which will be used for skills training for new employees. The company will also be eligible to apply for a $625,000 loan from the Machine and Equipment Loan Fund. Georgia PrintCos decision to grow in our region validates the advantages we offer as a competitive location for aggressive rms looking to serve the Mid-Atlantic metropolitan market, said Austin Burke, president of Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce.
Back-to-school off to slow start
Shoppers are holding off on back-toschool shopping, and those who delay long enough might be rewarded with some steep discounts from desperate retailers. Revenue at stores open at least a year an industry measure of a retailers health rose 3.8 percent in July, the slowest pace since March, according to a preliminary tally of 10 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers. The gure, which excludes drugstores, was below a 5.5 percent increase in June. Costco Wholesale Corp., typically a strong performer, was among the retailers reporting disappointing gures. Many stores were already offering discounts and other come-ons to get shoppers to spend on the new shipments of fall clothing that started owing in mid-July. But experts say even more deal are coming this month as stores try to boost sales for the backto-school season, which runs from midJuly through mid-September.
Fannie Mae posts $10.1B net income for 2Q

Folks flock to the Dollar Menu
McDonalds says a key sales gure edged up modestly in July, as the Dollar Menu and Big Macs in the U.S. helped offset declines in other parts of the world. The worlds biggest hamburger chain says global sales rose 0.7 percent at restaurants open at least 13 months. That included a 1.6 percent increase in the U.S., where it said everyday value offerings, breakfast offerings and staples such as the Big Mac drove up results. McDonalds, based in Oak Brook, Ill., is trying to juggle a variety of challenges. With people being careful about their spending, the fast-food chain has aggressively promoted its Dollar Menu and other deals to bring in customers.
WASHINGTON Mortgage giant Fannie Mae earned $10.1 billion in the second quarter, aided by the recovery in the housing market. The government-controlled company has turned a prot in each of the past six quarters. Fannie said Thursday it will pay a dividend of $10.2 billion to the U.S. Treasury next month. It made no request for additional federal aid. The company said the rise in home prices during the quarter enabled it to reduce its reserves set aside for losses on mortgages, helping boost its net income. The earnings for April through June period compared with net income of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2012. The government rescued Fannie and smaller sibling Freddie Mac during the nancial crisis after both incurred massive losses on risky mortgages. The companies received loans totaling about $187 billion. Washington-based Fannie said it expects to remain prof-
Mortgage firm Fannie Mae reported huge quarterly earnings Thursday, allowing it to pay a dividend of $10.2 billion to the U.S. Treasury next month. Fannie said it expects to remain profitable for the foreseeable future.

itable for the foreseeable future. Once the second-quarter dividend is paid, Washingtonbased Fannie will have repaid $105 billion of the roughly $116 billion it received from taxpayers. The latest quarterly gain followed a record $58.7 billion net income in the rst quarter,
when Fannie capitalized on tax benets it had saved from its losses on loans during the crisis. It paid a rst-quarter dividend of $59.4 billion to the Treasury. The housing recovery that began last year has made Fannie and Freddie protable again. Together they will have paid back next month about
$146 billion of their government loans. Those payments are helping make this years federal budget decit the smallest since President Barack Obama took ofce in 2009. Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages, worth about $5 trillion. Along with other federal agencies, they back roughly 90
percent of new mortgages. Fannie and Freddie dont directly make loans to borrowers. They buy mortgages from lenders, package them as bonds, guarantee them against default and sell them to investors. That helps make loans available and exert inuence over the housing market. Freddie, meanwhile, reported Wednesday that it earned $5 billion in the April-June period, its seventh straight protable quarter. It will pay a dividend of $4.4 billion to the Treasury. And the company said it has $28.6 billion of the sort of tax benets that Fannie applied in the rst quarter. Freddie said it will consider tapping all or a portion of that amount in coming quarters. Obama wants to replace the two companies with a system that would put the private sector, not the government, primarily at risk for the loans. The government would still be involved, both in oversight and as a last-resort loan guarantor. Obama also wants a guarantee that private lenders will make sure homeowners have access to 30-year xed mortgages.

DETROIT Two redesigned Honda Civic models were the only small cars to get the top rating in stringent front-end crash tests performed by an insurance industry group. In all, half of the 12 compact and subcom-
pact cars tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety fared poorly, but six performed well. Safety is critical in the fast-growing smallcar market, with many buyers downsizing from larger vehicles. The two-door and four-door Civics earned good ratings, while the Dodge Dart, Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra and
RUSSELL 2000 1,049.47
the 2014 Scion tC were acceptable. But popular models such as the Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic and the Volkswagen Beetle got marginal ratings, while the Nissan Sentra and the Kia Soul and 2014 Kia Forte each were rated poor. The group didnt test the Toyota Corolla because a new version
6-MO T-BILLS .08%
is coming out in the fall. The Corolla is the No. 2 selling small car in America, behind the Civic. The cars were rated for their performance in the insurance institutes small overlap test of crashes that cover only 25 percent of a vehicles front end. These tests, added to the IIHSs evaluations last year, are forc-
ing automakers to bolster the front-end structure of all cars in order to avoid bad publicity from a poor performance. The IIHS tests are more stringent than the U.S. governments fullwidth front crash test. The institute says that in many vehicles, a crash affecting one-quarter of the front end misses the main structures designed

to absorb the impact. Yet such crashes account for nearly a quarter of the frontal collisions that cause serious or fatal injuries to people in the front seats, IIHS says. The two Civic models and the Dart, Focus, Elantra and Scion tC each earned the IIHS coveted Top Safety Pick Plus award for performing well in multiple tests.
