JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES After heated debate, Luzerne County Council voted to seek applications from Republicans interested in lling the rest of Walter Grifths county controller term through the end of the year.

David Pedri said the home rule charter requires county judges to ll the post within 30 days if council doesnt select a replacement within 60 days. That means judges would have to appoint someone around mid-November, he said. Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck said Llewellyn shouldnt be expected to run the ofce because Grifth repeatedly complained the ofce was short-staffed. Grifth had two unlled vacancies before he resigned, which means the ofce now consists of Llewellyn and an auditor. McClosky Houck also noted Grifth was See CONTROLLER | 14A
Landlords question one-strike

Targeting back-to-school stuff
WILKES-BARRE A proposed ordinance to get tough on crime by targeting problem rental properties passed the rst reading by City Council on Tuesday night, and drew a mixed response from residents and landlords. The amendment that sets a one-strike limit for landlords or tenants who know of gun and drug crimes committed on the property still needs a second reading at councils Sept. 12 meeting before it can be enacted 10 days later. But landlord Chris Puma of Ashley cautioned against proceeding with the amendment and suggested that instead of punishing the landlord the city hire more police and code enforcement ofcers. He presented a scenario in which the six-month shutdown of a property as stated in the amendment cuts off the revenue
for a landlord who has no knowledge of his tenants criminal activity. From there, the landlord conceivably cant pay the taxes, the property ends up at a sheriffs sale and the city loses tax revenue. You shut down the property and take away the income, its not going to work, said Puma. I think its going to create more problems. Assistant City Attorney Bill Vinsko responded that the amendment is not meant to hurt good landlords. Our goal is to ght crime, and this is another tool that we can use to ght crime, Vinsko said. Councilman Tony George, a former city police chief, proposed changing the amendment to let the property stay open on the rst offense, but impose the six-month shutdown after the second time.

Coalition turns over last rebuilt flood home to owner

HUNLOCK CREEK Wes Levan met Bill Begin on Tuesday and the two shared stories about a house that neither of them ever occupied. Levan and several volunteers from the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Coalition, and Begin, the 75-year-old son-in-law of the homes owner, shook hands as ofcials from the Luzerne County Disaster Relief Coalition turned the house at 75 Garden Drive over to Begin, son-in-law of Cora Bloom. Bloom, 98, is temporarily living in Begins house in Toledo, Ohio. Bloom did not make the trip to get her repaired home back. The house was ooded in September 2011, and the coalition coordinated several volunteer groups to repair the house one of 67 homes that were gutted and rebuilt by volunteers from around the country. Begin said Bloom will return to her home at the end of the month. She has lived in the house for more than 50 years, Begin said.
She wants to move back. Shes healthy enough to live on her own, but she cant drive. We need to nd someone to live with her and take care of her. Levan said he and about nine other volunteers removed all the mud and debris from the house shortly after the 2011 ood. We gutted the walls, he said. We treated the whole place for See HOME | 14A
William Brace has been rebuffed by a federal appeals court in his ongoing bid to recover pension benets lost after he pleaded guilty to corruption charges three years ago. The former Luzerne County ofcial, who served prison time for accepting a custom suit from a county contractor, sued the county over the termination of his pension benets in 2009, prior to his guilty plea in the case.
Braces lawsuit was dismissed by U.S. District Judge A. R i c h a rd Brace Caputo in June 2012. Braces appeal of Caputos dismissal, which was argued on Jan. 16, was denied in a ruling led Tuesday by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Efforts to reach Brace were unsuccessful Tuesday afternoon. In April 2010, Brace was sentenced to three months in jail and ned $10,000 for accepting a $1,500 suit from a company seeking county business. Federal See BRACE | 14A

Clean-air advocates give Barletta denier award

Group takes issue with U.S. rep.s statement about global warming
[email protected]
JON OCONNELL
HAZLETON Scranton attorney Todd OMalley thinks U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, deserves an award. On Tuesday, backed by Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition members, OMalley delivered a trophy inscribed Congressional Climate Denier Award: For exceptional
extremism and ignoring the overwhelming judgment of science. A silver unicorn, front legs kicking, topped the trophy to represent what OMalley said is a fantastic belief that humans do not cause global warming. The drive-by award ceremony was inspired by the congressmans statement in 2010 that there is not enough evidence to prove manmade climate change one way or
the other, according to a press release from OMalleys rm. Barletta was not in his ofce but, in a written statement, a spokeswoman said the congressman believes we must seek balance in environmental policy. While everyone wants a clean environment, restrictive policy has hampered the growth of industry, the statement said. In todays economic climate, we simply cant afford regulations that will destroy jobs, raise energy
prices and increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy, the statement said. These kinds of awards are being given around the country this week to Congress members who question global warmings validity. Organizing for Action, a nonprot advocacy group that promotes President Barack Obamas policy pursuits, is credited for inventing the award. See AWARD | 14A

A x has been identied for the portable Market Street Bridge ood gates that leaked during record Susquehanna River ooding in September 2011, Luzerne County ofcials say. Water pressure blew out sections of the gates rubber gasket seals on both the Kingston and Wilkes-Barre sides. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has approved the pur-
chase of new rubber gaskets that are expected to perform better if the river rises again, said county Operational Services Division Head Christopher Belleman. The Army Corps chose the solution because the agency is overseeing and funding an estimated $2 million to $3 million in post-ood damage repair to the Wyoming Valley Levee and its supporting components. The rubber in the new gaskets is designed to provide a more watertight seal, said Belleman, who is monitoring
the levee until the county Flood Protection Authority selects a new engineer executive director. The old gaskets had a more open cell composition and absorbed a lot of water. The new ones are less likely to absorb water, he said. The temporary gates are made of columns and panels, and the gaskets are inserted where the pa nels meet the road. Tarp and sandbags also are used to provide backup support for the gaskets, Belleman said. Road crews in Kingston and Wilkes-Barre had to truck in and dump tons of rock against the closure panels during the height of the 2011 ood because
the panels vibrated after the gaskets blew. The county will keep the old gaskets until the Army Corps completes its testing and inspection of the new ones, Belleman said. We could still use the old gaskets until then if necessary. In the last ood event it looked very dramatic with the water leaking through, he said, but the gates held. The Army Corps is seeking Pennsylvania Department of Transportation approval to erect the ood gates on both sides of the Market Street Bridge in September to make sure the new gaskets t and meet specications, Belleman said.
We just want to make sure we identify any problems and get them xed before a ood event, he said. Testing of the new gaskets is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 7 and 8, Belleman said. The ood gates would be installed in sections and disassembled so the bridge wont be entirely closed to trafc, he said. The Army Corps has hired TriState Design/KC Construction Co. of Elkins Park to complete the ood gate repairs, which also include new gaskets at the temporary ood closure behind the county courthouse in Wilkes-Barre, Belleman said.

NUANGOLA Borough council acted Tuesday night to withdraw legal complaints against 19 residents who were regarded as being delinquent on their borough-mandated sewage system pumping fees. Council President John Kochan said the decision was actually made at an executive session conducted on Monday, but a nal decision couldnt be rendered until council conducted a public meeting. Prior to the withdrawal action, these residents faced nes of up to $300. Complaints led before District Judge Ronald Swank of Mountain Top will be rescinded,
Kochan said. Also, in advance of the implementation of the municipal sewer system, it was decided the borough will absorb the cost of $22 plus travel expenses for sewage enforcement ofcer William Bilby to inspect the residents connections to the new system. Bilbys appointment as the ofcial inspector was conrmed unanimously by council. He also will oversee the process of closing individual on-site septic tanks, sumps, sand mounds and holding tanks. Under regulations adopted by the boroughs sewer authority, all onsite sanitary facilities will be rendered inoperable once the connection to the new sewer line has been completed. At this point, based upon comments at Mondays sewer authority meeting, Sept. 15 is the target date for construction on the municipal system to conclude. In other matters:
- Council approved a proposal by Councilman Joseph Tucker to purchase 80 tons of salt and 2 tons of anti-skid material. - On Tuckers suggestion, council decided to consider buying a new dump truck to replace one that is 13 years old. - Council accepted plans submitted by surveyor Randy Howard for a sub-division of 215 acres off North End Road owned by Earth Conservancy. The planning commission recommended that the plans be approved. - It was stated that the recent decertication of the neighboring Rice Twp. Fire Co. will have no adverse affect on the borough. Frank Suchoski, assistant re chief, said the borough still has mutual assistance agreements with eight other companies. - Councilman Ron Kaiser said a special recycling collection has been scheduled on Aug. 24.

STEVE MOCARSKY Technologies is allowed to begin FBO services on Sept. 1 and that many of Sakers 34 local employees would lose their jobs. A xed-based operator provides jet fuel sales, hangar space and services for general aviation, commercial and military aircraft and maintenance. The airport board consists of the three Lackawanna County commissioners and, from Luzerne County, Manager Robert Lawton, county council President Tim McGinley and Councilman Rick Williams. According to the civil lawsuit, which seeks unspecied monetary damages, the current 10-year contract gives Saker the right to extend the contract for two additional ve-year periods if terms are acceptable to both parties. It also says an FBO contract would not be awarded to another provider without offering it to Saker on the same terms. Also according to the complaint led in Lackawanna County Court: Saker in October 2012 began lease renewal discussions with airport ofcials, who provided Saker with parameters for contract renewal. The potential discussion points for negotiations were given to Saker with the understanding that Saker was not to be a mere stalking horse used by (the airport) to solicit a third-party offer. On Feb. 5, Saker gave a presentation on what the company would offer, includ-

Back-to-school spree hits the Target
SCRANTON Representatives of the WilkesBarre/Scranton International Airport will be in court today arguing against a request that a judge temporarily halt the awarding of a contract to a new xed-base operator at the airport. Saker Aviation, the current FBO at the airport, sued Luzerne and Lackawanna counties and the airport on July 26, stating the boards July 18 vote to award a 15-year FBO contract to Aviation Technologies breached the boards contract with Saker, which is set to expire Aug. 31. Saker ofcials contend the company will suffer various harms if Aviation
ing refurbishing the customer service area/pilot lounge, new entry awnings, a new sump pump recovery system, installation of an internal security camera system and repair or replacement of the HVAC rapid air unit in the hangar. On Feb. 8, Saker received an email from Assistant Airport Director Mike Connor requesting a proposal for a ve-year lease that included a $150,000 investment from Saker, and Saker conrmed airport ofcials werent interested in any additional investment. Saker sent a proposal on Feb. 22. On March 12, Saker received a letter from Airport Executive Director Barry Centini ceasing negotiations and stating that the board was evaluating all available options for the near-term future of the FBO. On April 1, the board
issued a request for proposals for an FBO, seeking, at minimum, the ve improvements Saker offered. Saker submitted its proposal and, at a July 3 meeting with the defendants, Saker was told to sharpen their pencils with respect to the proposal and submit any revisions by July 12. Without ever releasing Aviation Technologies offer and giving Saker a chance to match it, the board awarded the FBO contract to Aviation Technologies on July 18 . The suit notes Saker invested about $1 million in the airport from 2006 through 2012, paid the airport another $1.5 million in rents and fees and cooperated with the airport to reduce its fees to attract new airlines. A national company, Saker also maintains corporate headquarters at the airport and employs 34 area residents.

Still, her mother, Patricia Connor, and grandmother, Beth Harrod, were grateful for the spree, provided to 30 students chosen by the Salvation Army. Target offers the program nationwide, letting the local Salvation Army divvy up gift cards as they see t among their locations, according to Lt. Ted Tressler, one of the commanding ofcers of the Wilkes-Barre Corps. Harrod said the spree was a huge help, particularly because Wilkes-Barre Area has a dress code that limits pants and shirt colors and styles, which tends to increase the cost of back-toschool clothes. We couldnt do this by ourselves. Over in the boys department, Thomas Bouderau was grinning while eyeing some black gym-style shorts while his dad, Robert, already clutched a

small pile that included shirts with logos of popular computer games like Minecraft. Its easier to shop now that (Greater) Nanticoke Area just got rid of their dress code, Robert said, referring to a relaxing of the rules approved by the school board this summer out of concern for the cost
in a district with a high poverty rate. I have three other kids shopping somewhere else, the Glen Lyon resident said, noting those children were in addition to the two with him. For the family of ve, the Target cards were worth a total of $405.
Its a really big help, he said. The spree began around 9 a.m., and while there was no strict time limit, Lt. Sharon Tressler, the other commanding ofcer of the local Salvation Army, said they encourage parents to nish by 10:30, generally an easy goal for those with
one child, like Alexia, who was already going over budget by 9:30. Mom opted to remove a plastic reusable drinking cup and let her pick something else a bit less expensive, and the youngster was off. We need roller skates to keep up her her, Harrod quipped.
Police: Pants-less drunken driver struck superstars truck

Call it the case of the pants-less, allegedly drunken truck driver who made international headlines after he ran into superstar singer Katy Perrys tractor-trailer last week in Wilkes-Barre Township. Donald Charles Voight, 56, of Springeld, Va., faces charges of driving under the inuence, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to stop and provide his information. No injuries were reported as a result of the Friday afternoon incident, in which Voight allegedly crashed into a shiny, gold-colored big rig promoting Perrys next album, Prism, which is scheduled to be released in October.

Twitter user Carly Johnson, from Los Angeles, posted this photo of singer Katy Perrys damaged promotional truck after an accident in Wilkes-Barre Township last week. No one was injured, so I wasnt worried for that reason, Johnson wrote.
Im really bad. Ive been drinking, the stumbling, half-clothed Voight said when approached by ofcers, according to an afdavit led by township police. Ofcers were dispatched to the Walmart parking lot at about 5:30 p.m. for a report of a hit-
and-run involving two tractor-trailers, according to the afdavit. Mark Alan Sager, who was driving the Prism truck, said he was sitting inside the cab when its front end was struck by a black truck with a Virginia license plate. Sager said he repeatedly honked his
horn and tried to run after the eeing black truck to no avail. While police were taking Sagers report, Voights truck returned, according to the afdavit. As police tried to get Voight to stop, he allegedly began backing the truck up, nearly backing into a police car. (Police) asked the defendant to step out of the vehicle, and he stated he could not because he was not wearing any pants, police wrote. Voight admitted to striking the other truck, police said, and that he had consumed a half a bottle of vodka. Barely 20 minutes later, celebrity news website TMZ posted about the accident, noting that Perry was not in the truck. The news quickly rippled among Perrys
devoted fans, thanks to the TMZ report as well as tweets from Perrys ofcial Twitter account. It later was picked up by media outlets worldwide. The #prism semi is bumped & bruised but she is a champion! She will return, Perry wrote. That didnt stop dedicated fans from having some anxious moments after learning about the collision. A post from one of those fans even caught Perrys attention. Well when I heard about the crash I assumed that it was more serious than it turned out it actually was so I kind of freaked out, said Carly Johnson, a Los Angeles resident who posted a photo of the truck with a burning candle on either side, with the hashtag #PrayForPrismTruck. Perry shared the photo
with her followers, with the message Thank you sweetie. The truck earlier had stopped in Niagara Falls, N.Y., according to a tweet by Perry. I knew Katy wasnt inside the truck so I wasnt worried for that reason, but drunk driving accidents are horrible no matter what, Johnson wrote in an email to The Times Leader. After learning all the details, Johnson, who rst saw the story on TMZ, said she and fans kind of took a moment to laugh at the oddness and rarity of the situation. Voight was arraigned later Friday before District Judge Michael Dotzel in Wilkes-Barre Township and released on $10,000 unsecured bail pending an Aug. 21 preliminary hearing.

Department of Justice is joined by six states and District of Columbia in fighting move

Lawsuit filed to block proposed merger

WASHINGTON The federal government is trying to block the proposed merger of American Airlines and US Airways, saying it would cause substantial harm to consumers by leading to higher fares and fees. The U.S. Justice Department, joined by the attorneys general of six states and the District of Columbia, led a lawsuit to block the merger Tuesday in federal court in Washington, D.C. In its lawsuit, the Justice Department was joined by the attorneys general from Americans home state of Texas, US Airways home state of Arizona, plus Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and the District of Columbia. The airlines said the governments conclusions were wrong, and they vowed to use all legal options to ght back. The governments action threatens to quash a deal that would create the worlds largest airline by passenger miles. The airlines could challenge the government in court, or possibly agree to concessions that would convince regulators to approve the merger. The lawsuit caught many observers by surprise. In the last ve years, antitrust regulators had allowed three other major airline mergers to go ahead, leaving ve airlines in control of about 80 percent of the domestic market. But the government argued this merger would hurt consumers around the country by eliminating a competitor on more than 1,000

routes. Mergers have helped the industry limit seats, push fares higher and return to profitability. Last year, business and leisure travelers spent more than $70 billion on airfare in the United States.
Consumer advocates cheered the lawsuit. This is the best news that consumers could have possible gotten, said Charlie Leocha, director of the Consumer Travel Alliance and member of a panel that advises the government on
travel-consumer issues. In its lawsuit, the department said that if the merger leads to even small increases in ticket prices or airline fees, it would cost American consumers hundreds of millions of dollars each year, As examples, the government cited round-trip fares for travel this month between Miami and Cincinnati and between Houston and New York in which US Airways fares are far lower than American and other competitors. In making its case against the merger, the government relies heavily on an airlines executives own words. Throughout the 56-page lawsuit, Department of Justice lawyers quote internal emails, investor presentations and public comments by the two airlines top executives noting how past mergers have allowed for increased fares and rising fees for checking a bag or changing ights.

Kenyan Wildlife Service ofcials say armed poachers shot and killed a white rhino and cut off its horn in Nairobi National Park, the rst poaching death of a rhino in the urban park in six years. The killing brings to 35 the number of rhinos killed in Kenya so far this year, a sharp rise from the 29 killed in total in 2012. Animal experts worry that Africas rhinos and elephants could face extinction unless the demand in Asia for rhino horn and elephant ivory is curbed.

Two college friends of the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect pleaded not guilty Tuesday to allegations they conspired to obstruct justice by agreeing to destroy and conceal some of their friends belongings as he evaded authorities. Wearing shackles and orange jail jumpsuits, both defendants looked happy to see family across the courtroom before emphatically entering their pleas. Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19-year-old nationals of Kazakhstan who shared an apartment in New Bedford, Mass., became friends with bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when they all started school at University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth in 2011.

WASHINGTON
KESENNUMA, Japan A stranded shing boat that became a symbol of the devastation of Japans 2011 tsunami has long divided a northeastern coastal city between those who wanted to keep it as a monument of survival and those who wanted a painful reminder gone. Last week, the city announced it will be torn down after a heated debate and citywide vote. The soul-searching over the ship highlights how the aftermath of the tsunami disaster continues to torment Japan two years later. The 360-ton Kyotokumaru was swept by the towering tsunami from the citys dock for about 800 yards into a residential district. It has become a landmark for Kesennuma, a port city of 70,000 people, and a testament to the destructive power of the tsunami set off by the magni-
tude-9.0 earthquake on March 11, 2011, which killed nearly 19,000 people. The nearby smashed buildings and debris were cleared, but the 200-foot tuna-shing boat has stood, majestic but oddly jarring, on dry ground for more than two years. Opinion on the ship had been so divided it had been put to a vote by the city residents last month. Of the 14,083 responses, 68 percent, or 9,622 people, voted to have the ship destroyed. Yoshimi Abe, a 72 year-old housewife and Kesennuma resident, was among those who wanted to get rid of the ship. Its just a constant reminder of the terrible disaster, she said. When I walk by it every morning, my heart aches. The house that Abe grew up in was destroyed by the tsunami, and she now lives in temporary housing. In contrast, Shigeru Saito, 80, voted
to keep the boat, which he saw as a plus for drawing business. My son owns a store in the temporary market near Kyotokumaru. Many of his customers are out-of-town visitors who drop by to see the ship, he said. For now, Kyotokumaru still towers over the attened neighborhood, its blue and red paint rusting, propped up with iron beams and fenced off with yellow tape. Its surrounded by bouquets of owers left by people. They pray and take photos. Much of the tsunami-hit regions rebuilding remains untouched. Fears grow about people, especially young people, leaving. Some areas will be ghost-towns for decades because of the radiation from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant that went into multiple meltdowns. The Fukushima shing company, which owns the Kyotokumaru, has signed a contract with a nonprot organization that recycles ships. The dismantling is likely to start in the next few weeks.
Last month brought extremes in weather to the extremes of the country: July was Alaskas fth-warmest on record, Floridas wettest on record and Oregons driest on record. Oregon received only 0.03 inches of rainfall last month 0.41 inches below its average. At the opposite extreme, Florida received 12.38 inches of rainfall last month 4.38 inches above average. The Souths Atlantic coast states all saw a July ranking among their top 10 wettest. Nationally, the precipitation average for July was 3.47 inches, or about 0.71 inches above the 20th century average. Extremes in precipitation was the weather highlight of July, with last month ranking as the fth-wettest July on record nationwide, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations monthly weather summary report released Tuesday. July was also 30th-warmest month on record in the contiguous U.S. with the temperature 0.8F above the 20th century average.

Mideast talks start today, face long odds

JERUSALEM The same negotiators, the same issues, a familiar venue: The sense of deja vu is overwhelming as Israelis and Palestinians start today on their third attempt in 13 years to draw a border between them. But they face even longer odds than in the last round, which ended in 2008. Since then, at least 40,000 more Israelis have settled in areas the Palestinians want for a state, making it even harder to partition the land. The chaos of the Arab Spring has bolstered Israeli demands for ironclad security guarantees, such as troop deployments along Palestines future border, widening a dispute that

Ahead of todays talks at Jerusalems King David Hotel, the atmosphere soured further after Israel said in a series of announcements in the past week that it is advancing plans for more than 3,000 new homes for Jews in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem. Its not just deliberate sabotage of the talks, but really the destruction of the outcome, said senior Palestinian ofcial Hanan Ashrawi. Israel has transformed the negotiations into a cover and a license to steal land. Israel argued its mainly building in areas it wants to keep in any border deal.
WASHINGTON An Air Force unit that operates onethird of the nations land-based nuclear missile force has failed a safety and security inspection, marking the second major setback this year for a force charged with the militarys most sensitive mission, the general in charge of the Air Forces nuclear force told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The failure was recorded by the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., which is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles that stand on around-theclock alert for potential launch against targets around the globe. Lt. Gen. James M. Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, which is responsible for the Minuteman 3 force as well as nuclear bombers, said the 341st wing failed a small team exercise as part of a broader inspection. The exercise failure meant the whole inspection was a failure, he said. Kowalski said this did not call into question the units safe operation of nuclear missiles but was its second failure of a safety and security inspection in just over three years. I wouldnt necessarily call it a pattern, he said, because a large number of those involved in the latest inspection were not there for the previous failure in February 2010. Kowalski would not discuss details of the failure or explain the exercise, citing security, except to say that it did not involve the crews who monitor the missiles from inside underground launch control capsules. That left open the possibility that it involved airmen responsible for security, weapons maintenance or other aspects of the highly sensitive mission. This unit fumbled on this exercise, Kowalski told the AP by telephone from his headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base, La. In a written statement posted to its website, Kowalskis command said there had been tactical-level errors during the exercise, revealing discrepancies. Without more details it is difcult to make a reliable judgment about the extent and severity of the problem uncovered at Malmstrom. Asked whether the Air Force intends to take disciplinary action against anyone as a result of the inspection failure, Kowalski said the Air Force is looking into it. He said those who failed the exercise would be retested within three months.

Propane-powered school bus featured at Wilkes University-hosted event

WILKES-BARRE When Bob Mills res up a new 77-seat Blue Bird school bus, he doesnt have to turn a key. A ick of the wrist runs safety checks and the propane-powered school bus hums to life. At a Wilkes Universityhosted alternative energy workshop on Tuesday, Mills walked curious government and business ofcials through a bus like those he delivers for Lebanon-based bus distributor BrightBill Body Works. At the Alternative Fuels, Vehicles and Technology Workshop, the state Department of Environmental Protection and nonprot Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities gave area leaders a primer on new fuel options and grants for eet operators who want to convert their vehicles to anything but diesel. DEP is awarding grants, about $11 million from Act 13 gas-drilling impact fees, for compressed natural gas, or CNG, vehicle investments, said Janet Warnick, DEP regional manager of pollution prevention. Half of that money is going to agencies that provide public transport, Warnick said. Propane is not CNG and does not qualify for these grants, but propanepowered vehicles are part of the push to use domestic fuel for travel. Mills said the propane bus runs cleaner, quieter and responds better than any diesel machine he has driven in his 20 years as a bus driver. BrightBill salesman Mason Hemphill said pro-
pane as motor fuel is going to change the bus business. Three years ago, BrightBill sold two propane-powered school buses. Two years ago, they sold four. This year, theyre lling orders for 200 buses throughout the state, Hemphill said. Clean Cities helps companies and governments in 33 Eastern Pennsylvania counties convert or replace vehicles with any type of fuel that is not gasoline or diesel, said the groups director, Tony Bandiero. In exchange for federal dollars, Clean Cities has to hit benchmarks set by federal Environmental Protection Agency in reducing the number of gas-powered cars and trucks on the road and the amount greenhouse gas in the air, Bandiero said. Developing these energy sources is not just about getting off foreign oil, said

former DEP alternative fuels expert Carmen La Rosa. We talk about energy independence, but its an array of different things, La Rosa said. For example, propane buses produce 30 percent less greenhouse emissions and signicantly less smog than the diesel buses, he said.
Warnick said its most logical to start with eets. Trucking companies and bus lines are the biggest contributors to air pollution from vehicles. Converting them will set up an infrastructure of fueling stations and mechanics needed for consumers to make the switch, Warnick said.
WILKES-BARRE A Factoryville man accused of violating his parole on charges he assaulted a mother and her child was returned to the county prison Monday to serve the remaining time on his original four-to-18-month prison sentence a total of 10 days. Jason R. Earl, 31, appeared before Luzerne County Judge David Lupas on charges of violating his parole by committing another crime theft in South Abington Township in March. Earl was originally sentenced in October 2012 on two counts of simple assault. He received credit for almost eight months of time already served and was immediately paroled. Earl previously said he couldnt appear for a parole violation because he had been in a car accident a statement he told Lupas was a lie Monday. I did lie, Earl said, noting he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but it was not an excuse for his actions. You obviously cannot follow directions, Lupas said, when ordering
Earl to serve the remainder of his original sentence. Luzerne County sheriff deputies immediately took Earl into custody Monday. Earls attorney, Charles Ross, argued his client should receive a probationary sentence rather than additional jail time. A parole ofcer objected, noting the 10 days should be served. Earl has previously failed to appear for at least two violation hearings, including the incident in which he lied about being in a car accident. He was originally charged in February 2012 by Pittston police when Leslie Parker reported that Earl, the father of her children, assaulted her in her Pittston home and stabbed her in the arm with a fork. Parker reported that Earl punched the womans 9-year-old son, who tried to stop Earl from hurting his mother. Police said Earl, who was homeless at the time, ed the scene on a bicycle. He pleaded guilty to the two charges in October and was immediately sentenced by Lupas to four to 18 months.

Former wife of local TV weatherman files PFA

SHEENA DELAZIO
[email protected]
WILKES-BARRE The ex-wife of a local TV weatherman led a protection-from-abuse petition this week, alleging he threatened to kill her Friday. Kathleen Ankenbrand, of Fremont Street, West Pittston, says in the petition that her ex-husband and father of their three children, David Kuharchik, 35, of West Wyoming, has called and texted her nonstop, sometimes expressing he hopes I die. A temporary PFA was put in place by Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni, who scheduled a hearing for Aug. 20. When reached by phone Tuesday, Kuharchik said his employer, Nexstar Broadcasting, has told him to not make any comments regarding the allegations. Kuharchik is the host of PA Live! On WBRE/ WYOU-TV, a lifestyles program, as well as a meteorologist. He began working at the station in 1999.
Kuharchik and Ankenbrand led for divorce in September. Their divorce was nalized in county court on Friday. In the petition penned by Ankenbrand, she says Kuharchik called recently to discuss the custody of their three children, ages 9, 7 and 2. Ankenbrand alleges Kuharchik said that if she led a new custody complaint, he would (expletive) kill her. Ankenbrand requested Kuharchik stop calling her, and he did until his brother, Joseph, passed away on Saturday. David left 13 text messages after four phone calls, Ankenbrand wrote, noting her ex-husband became angry again after his brothers death. He will call and text non-stop, she wrote. I have had voice mails at all hours as well as texts. Many messages also include he hopes I die. Ankenbrand does not indicate if police were ever called. No charges have been led against Kuharchik.

Mark Pall, a 16-yearold organ player, stood outside The Home Depot in Wilkes-Barre on a recent Friday afternoon, spinning out jovial tunes from his busker organ. The Wyoming Seminary student built his hand-powered organ from scratch and said it was his love for organ music and building things with his hands that inspired him to make the charming contraption. In a steady, unwavering rhythm, the organ tooted out a sharp, light French melody from days gone by. A busker organ is a hand-powered musical instrument that uses bellows to push air through rolling punched paper. The air travels through the synchronized paper holes to reach the organ pipes. Mark spent nearly a year constructing his music machine, but his love for organ music started 10 years ago when he rst felt the ivory under his ngertips, his mother, Susan, said a few days later at

When the plans arrived, he felt overwhelmed by the seemingly advanced blueprints. I thought, These look
like engineers drawings. I dont know how I am going to pull this off, Mark said. But he plowed through, taking it one piece at a time As his organ, named Ole Busker, began to take shape, Mark strayed from the original design to make it look and feel like he wanted. I didnt want to follow the plans exactly as they were written, Mark said.

A Busker organ, mostly made of balsa and bass woods, must be airtight. Mark traveled to Lancaster to get organ leather for the bellows, but the most difcult part, he said, was forming the pipes to be airtight and create the right sound. The pipes are the most important part of the organ because they are the voice of the organ, he said. Mark found camaraderie in fellow organ builder Burl Updyke, owner of WRGN Christian radio station. In fact, Marks rst encounter with an organ builder happened at the Luzerne County Fair, where Updyke was entertaining with the full-sized band organ he built, complete with an animated conductor gurine. Updyke supported Marks efforts throughout the build. The younger busker builder often called his mentor for tips. I went over there a few times to give him advice, to encourage him because its unusual There are few young people concerned about preserving or creating band organs, Updyke said. Mark and Updyke are among maybe 12 in the country to use John Smiths organ design. Updyke is part of the Carousel Organ Association of America and said he knows of two youngsters about Marks age, one in Canada and another in Tennessee, who are interested in building an organ, but have not seen the project through to the end.

Group turning local park into venue for family fun

Back to School Bash set for Friday at Forty Fort Municipal Park and Pool

Dress for Success relocates in W-B
FORTY FORT What started out as a movement to increase usage of the municipal park has resulted in a fun venue for not just borough residents, but also the entire West Side. Andy Tuzinski and Amy Craig have worked together with several other volunteers and business people to turn the Forty Fort Municipal Park and Pool into a gathering place for families looking for fun and fellowship. Were trying to foster a sense of community pride, Tuzinski, a candidate for mayor, said. We think these events make Forty Fort stronger and more resilient. Craig, 35, and mother of two boys ages 3 and 5, said the concept is growing and more and more people are showing up to enjoy movies, craft fairs and this weeks Back to School Bash. There used to be a group of parents that held events like an Easter egg hunt and a Halloween parade, Craig said. But those kids have grown up and their parents are no longer involved. We wanted the fun to continue. So a group was formed and events were planned. The Back to School Bash this Friday runs from 7 to 10, Craig said. A craft fair is scheduled for Sept. 8, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and another movie will be shown in September at a date to be selected. Craig said a Fitness Fun Day in the Park is being planned for September, along with a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. We just randomly decided to do an event in the park, Craig said. And a good group showed up. The crowds have been getting
bigger at every event. Its good to see the park utilized and so many people showing up. Tuzinski and Craig said people are attending from Forty Fort and other West Side towns and they think thats just ne. Were all one big community, Tuzinski said. Parents from all towns want to enjoy family-oriented fun events. When the Disney Co. got wind of plans to have a free showing of the childrens ick Monsters, Inc. in the park in July, organizers were forced to come up with $400 to satisfy the media giant. The group ended up showing Madagascar 3 to about 325 people. Tuzinski downplayed the snafu, but he wonders how a Disney watchdog in St. Louis, Mo., got his cellphone number. We had some local businesses step up to pay the royalty fees, Tuzinski said. But how some licensing agent got my number, I dont know. But we were threatened with civil penalties. Although it was very disheartening to have someone report us to Disney, it turns out their spitefulness was the best thing that could happen to the Families for Forty Fort Park group. Tuzinski said sponsors such as Cooks Pharmacy, Bob Evans Restaurant, Dunkin Donuts, Forty Fort Lube and Service, MotorWorld and others have come forward to help offset costs of the events. On Friday, Dunkin Donuts sponsored a showing of Despicable Me, and this upcoming Friday, Forty Fort Lube and Service is sponsoring the free Back to School Bash at the Forty Fort pool. Tuzinski said two other
businesses have pledged to sponsor additional movies. Plans are being made to show a movie in September after school starts and a Halloween-themed movie is being kicked around for October. When I was growing up in Forty Fort, there was always something going on, especially for kids, Tuzinski said. Were just trying to put on family events for parents and children to come to Forty Fort and enjoy. Tuzinski and Craig said the number of parents coming to meetings with ideas and suggestions has more than tripled. It is gratifying to see many people from the community coming and working together to improve our area, he said. And its not just people from Forty Fort. We had people at the park from the entire West Side, the Back Mountain, Mountaintop and Wilkes-Barre areas. Tuzinski said the Forty Fort High School class of 1948 is closing out its bank account and donating the leftover money to the group. He said that money has been earmarked for a popcorn maker and a sno-cone machine that will be used at Friday nights event. Previously the group had to rent both machines at a cost of $75-100 per event. Also at Fridays event, the group will be presenting a check for $1,000 to Forty Fort Borough to offset the cost of improvements to the park. The money reects fundraising efforts to date, and Tuzinski said it has been motivating the group to keep moving forward. Craig said raising two boys in this day and age can be scary. She said more events are being planned for fall and winter and over the holidays. We want to keep these events going, she said. Everybody seems to be having fun.
Linda Armstrong, executive director of Dress for Success Luzerne County, cuts a ceremonial ribbon Tuesday during the nonprofit organizations re-launch at its new location: 38 W. Market St., Wilkes-Barre. The group promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by supplying professional clothing as well as career-development advice. The Walmart Foundation recently provided a grant to expand Dress for Success clients educational and training opportunities. Participants in the ribbon-cutting included members of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Wilkes-Barre Business Association.

W-B Area makes administrative moves

MARK GUYDISH
[email protected]
WILKES-BARRE The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board dispensed with a list of issues at its Monday meeting after handling the most contentious: agreeing to allow outside grills at Memorial Stadium for fundraising groups as long as they are removed at the end of the game, and insisting an inactive certication for a new hire will be active after college transcripts are sent to the state Department of Education. The inactive certication of newly hired home and school visitor Brian Leighton, brother of the Wilkes-Barre mayor, sparked some biting comments from the crowd. But hoots also came when the board appointed Margo Serani as acting principal at Kistler Elementary. Currently assistant principal, Serani is the daughter of coordinator of custodial services James Serani. At the meeting start, audience member and frequent board watchdog Tracey Hughes questioned the administrative appointments listed on the agenda, which also included naming GAR High School Dean of Students Robert Watkins as acting assistant principal. Hughes
asked if the positions had been posted. Interim Superintendent Bernard Prevuznak said they were not, but added that the positions werent technically open because the people who have the jobs have not ofcially retired. Because it was a personnel issue, Prevuznak declined to elaborate, but it is common for veteran employees to mull retirement while using accumulated vacation days, or to use accumulated sick days while coping with an illness before deciding to retire rather than return. Prevuznak said that the people hired as acting administrators are not guaranteed the job full time, and that once a retirement is ofcial the jobs would be posted and all qualied candidates would have an equal chance at an interview and at getting the job. Hiring was at issue for much of the meeting. When Board President John Quinn asked if there was any old business to complete, Board Member Christine Katsock moved to amend the hiring policy so that any qualied candidate who is recommended for a position by the interview committee and has already worked as a substitute teacher with a satisfactory review should automatically receive the next full-time position. The
motion was approved unanimously. Board member the Rev. Shawn Walker then moved to create a committee to revise the hiring policy completely, offering to chair the committee. Quinn noted a committee already exists, but the board agreed to make Walker chairman, replacing Robert Corcoran, who had been the chair during development of the current policy last year. Corcoran was removed from the board after moving to Germany and missing two consecutive meetings. Proposed revisions are to be brought to the board by Nov. 1 The board voted to create positions for two new school resource ofcers for the elementary schools, bringing the number of armed ofcers up to three for lower grades (each of the three high schools has a resource ofcer). And the board made the following appointments: Stephanie Brewster as full-time substitute teacher; Sarah Struckus Edwards as a reading teacher; Tara Decker, Kelly Campas, Erin Moran, Jill Adams Wujcik, Kristin Pstrak and Rachel Mancuso as special education teachers; Dominique Nardone as family and consumer science teacher; and Vito Pasone as science teacher.

Police find drugs in hotel room of two Philadelphia men

JERRY LYNOTT
[email protected]
WILKES-BARRE Acting on a tip about armed drug dealers at a local hotel, police on Monday arrested two men from Philadelphia and led more than a dozen charges against them. Braheem Mosley, 34, and Alvin Smiley, 32, were held at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail each. They were arraigned by District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre.
Police stopped them in a rented car in the parking lot of the Turkey Hill convenience store at the intersection of Blackman and South Main streets after following them from the Comfort Inn on state Route 309 in WilkesBarre Township. The men allowed police to search their hotel room, where heroin, marijuana and crack cocaine were found, according to arrest papers. Smiley and Mosley face multiple charges of: conspiracy to manufacture, deliver and possess with
intent to deliver a controlled substance; possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance; conspiracy to possess a controlled substance; possession of a controlled substance; and possession of drug paraphernalia. Mosley faces additional charges of careless driving and driving without a license. Police rst went to the hotel after a cooperating witness came forward with information that a group of black males was dealing heroin and cocaine from the room
and that the men were in possession of a revolvertype handgun and an AK 47-style assault (rie) within the past few days. The arrest papers contained no mention of a weapon seized. According to arrest papers: Police saw two men, later identied as Smiley and Mosley, sitting in a rented Chevrolet sedan in the hotel parking lot meeting with two people in another car. The car with Smiley and Mosley left the lot and police followed it. Just before the inter-
section of Blackman and South Main, the driver of the car, later identied as Mosley, spiked his brakes and came to a stop, nearly causing an accident. The car turned into the Turkey Hill parking lot, where police pulled in behind it. The car smelled of marijuana smoke and both men denied smoking it. They gave conicting stories on why they were in the area. They also said they were on state parole in Philadelphia and they had permission to be in Wilkes-Barre.

COURT BRIEF
WILKES-BARRE Attorneys representing a woman who led a lawsuit against McDonalds alleging it refused to pay her by check have asked that if the defendants in the case receive any information, attorneys should know about it, too. Attorneys for Natalie Gunshannon, the Cefalo law rm of West Pittston, led court papers Tuesday outlining any additional information they would like, should it become available. Gunshannon led the suit contending she was forced to use a payroll card issued by J.P. Morgan Chase. Gunshannon declined the debit card and asked to be paid by paper check or direct deposit but was was denied. She quit her job. Gunshannon said she did not want to incur fees that would be charged for using the debit card and feared she would make less than the $7.44 per hour she was paid. Gunshannons attorneys say they want to know if there are actions McDonalds took to educate its employees about restrictions and limitations on the withdrawal of money, if McDonalds receives any benet from the debit cards, about any arrangements between McDonalds and the debit card company and other information.

WILKES-BARRE A trial scheduled to begin this week for a Duryea man charged with stabbing another man in an argument over a blocked driveway has been delayed until October, while his attorney was ned $500. Daniel Hakim Dade, 32, of Foote Avenue, was scheduled to stand trial on one count each of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct, four counts of simple assault and two counts of harassment stemming from the March 2012 incident. His attorney, Thomas Dickey, of Altoona, did not appear Monday morning, prompting Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. to hold him in contempt of court Tuesday and order a $500 ne be paid in 30 days. Dickey then requested a continuance of the case after ling several requests Tuesday morning, including precluding the weapon allegedly used to stab Jason Kuna, of Duryea, to be shown during the trial. According to court papers, on March 18, 2012, police were called to 1209 Main St. for a ght.
According to the criminal complaint, Jason Kuna approached Dade, telling him to move his vehicle that was blocking Kunas driveway. Kuna told police he began to walk back to his house when Dade got out of his vehicle and yelled to him. Dade allegedly took a swing at Kuna with a darkcolored razor knife, which cut Kunas arm. Kuna said he began defending himself. A woman, identied as Belinda Glover, got out of Dades vehicle, jumped on Kunas back and began hitting him in the head, Kuna said. Kunas wife, Jeanine, then came out of their house with a broom and struck Glover, according to court papers. Glover, 38, also of Foote Avenue, was charged in the incident. She pleaded guilty in January to a simple assault charge and was sentenced to three months probation. In Dickeys ling Tuesday, he requests that evidence be precluded from his clients trial, including that some witnesses made statements indicating Dade was in the area to purchase drugs when the incident happened, that nothing links a box cutter found in a grassy area near the incident to the assault and that photos of the injuries Kuna sustained also should be thrown out.

and known as the Back Mountain Center. A medical lab uses about 1,600 square feet of the buildings 3,500 square feet; the rest is unoccupied. The hospitals representative, Mike Fetter, as well as real estate developer Joseph J. Naparlo, who developed more than 200 townhouses and condominiums on former farmland near the state routes 415 and 118 intersection, attended Mondays board meeting. Naparlo plans to use the building, with the exception of the medical labs space, to construct between 24 and 32 one- and two-bedroom apartment units. His target renters will be mainly young professionals, he said. The rent for the upscale units will be $1,000 to $1,500 per month, Naparlo said. All applicants will undergo a screening process before being approved for a rental in the building. Naparlo has agreed to add foliage, not limited to trees, between the multiunit dwellings and the adjacent properties. When asked what other options were available for the building, Fetter saidt it was highly unlikely that a nursing homewould occupy theproperty because of the expense of re-constructing the structure to meet regulations and codes. Fetter added that Naparlos offer was the only one that was under consideration. Naparlo said he and his family will strive to maintain the present character of the neighborhood. The board also granted approval for John Young to relocate his car lot from Overbrook Road to 1189 Lower Demunds Road. Young was granted the approval with the conditions that he maintains no more than 10 vehicles at a time at the location, and no vehicle will be displayed within 23 feet of any properties surrounding the lot. Young was granted an oral approval from the board and is expected to receive a written decision within 45 days.

The case for reform at PortAuthorityhead

The Delaware River Port Authority has seen many changes in recent years, including the replacement of much of its board, a raft of new rules meant to keep it honest, and the phasing out of spending on pork projects far aeld of its transportation mission. What hasnt changed is the agencys fundamental and reexive hostility to reform. The latest ndings of the DRPA inspector generals ofce, a muchneeded internal watchdog function instituted last year, show that the bistate bridge and rail agency retains the old habits that have helped squander toll-payers money for years. Tellingly, agency executives have bristled not only at the inspector generals report, but at his very presence. In an audit completed in May but kept under wraps until recently by internecine bickering, the inspector general, Thomas Raftery III, found that DRPA chief executive ofcer John Matheussen unilaterally gave raises to dozens of employees without the required approval of top board members. Raftery, a former FBI agent who has clashed repeatedly with top executives, found that Matheussen gave two foremen at PATCO, the commuter rail line the DRPA operates, a signicant salary adjustment, bringing their yearly pay to $78,033. After 26 other agency foremen learned of the raises through the rumor mill, Raftery found, they demanded a meeting with Matheussen and other executives, whereupon they also were granted substantial raises, bringing their salaries to $79,500. (The PATCO foremens salaries were eventually raised to $79,500, too.) The audit found that the CEO made all these changes without the necessary authorization of the board chairman and vice chairman. More broadly, Raftery found that the agency maintains no compensation policy or procedures and is excessively opaque, leading to widespread suspicions of favoritism and low employee morale. Matheussen and two other agency executives responded to the audit at length in fact, at more than twice the length of the audit itself disputing most of it as inaccurate or misleading. Ofcials are at odds about facts as basic as whether the inspector general attempted to discuss his ndings with the CEO. Most likely the dispute boils down to DRPA ofcials essential discomfort with oversight. Matheussen, the CEO since 2003, has attempted to force Raftery to report to him rather than the board, an obvious attempt to undermine the purpose of an inspector general. Meanwhile, this and other audits were hushed up for so long that DRPA board Chairman David Simon saw t to announce some of the ndings in June. The picture that emerges is of an agency that remains deeply dysfunctional and in need of more serious attention from Govs. Christie and Corbett, who are ultimately responsible for it. As long as the DRPA lurches along under the same top management that enabled reckless spending and toll hikes, any supposed reform of the agency should be viewed with skepticism. In documenting these unauthorized salary increases, Raftery has provided 28 more reasons for the DRPA board, Christie, and Corbett to end Matheussens puzzlingly long reign. The Philadelphia Inquirer
COMMENTARY: MARK GUYDISH
dig deeper in luzerne County for hole story

News that the Wilkes-Barre Township planning commission had actually subdivided a runoff basin into its own unusable lot thus setting the stage for the basin owner to ignore back property taxes to the tune more than $300 grand so far brought back fond memories of another classic crater. Remember WilkesBarre Mayor Tom McGroartys Multiplex Movie Pit? You know, the hole he dug where a movie theater was planned, except a neighboring property owner Mark sued and stalled the Guydish whole project. One wonders if Luzerne County has a penchant for creating unmarketable pockmarks in its landscape. Of course, their are differences between the fabled theater hole, long since replaced by an ofce building, and the runoff basin at the WilkesBarre Township Commons retail center. The movie dig was a case of McGs ambitious downtown plans outpacing the need to assure legal agreement among those impacted by construction. The basin was a mandatory part of retail development. The movie hole was intended to be

OTHER OPINION: aRTIFICIal mEaT
Whats for dinner? Lets ask some scientists in white lab coats. They are cooking up something new a burger made of meat that was never the living esh of an animal. Hold the yum for the moment. The test-tube hamburger, made from the stem cells of a cow grown into thin strands of muscle ber, was the subject of a public tasting at Riverside Studios in London recently, although only two tasters were allowed to try it. They both described it as almost like a conventional burger; one said it just wasnt as juicy. The 5-ounce patty wont be coming to a kitchen near you anytime soon. As The Washington Post reported, it was the result of a ve-year project, although it took only three months to grow the cells. Much more remains to be done. A scientist, Mark Post, created the meat in his lab at Maastricht University in the Netherlands with the help of Peter Verstrate, a Dutch food technician. Quite apart from the remaining scientic questions to explore, there is the cost. This small burger cost $300,000 to develop. Theres no getting a bag full of these burgers with fries just yet. But why bother trying to improve upon nature? For some very good reasons. The worlds population has grown to more than 7 billion, and this horde threatens to outstrip available resources. If the ersatz burger proves nutritious and reasonably like the real thing, famine itself might be kept at bay.
Frankenfoodburgers may have some merit

You can almost bet your lunch money that someone will claim that this latest (lab-produced food) will cause humans harm.
Moreover, cattle eat a prodigious amount of grass and consume large quantities of water resources that could be used to grow grain to feed more people. Theres another benet, too: Cattle are infamously atulent and send tons of methane gas into the air, contributing to global warming. If all meat were grown in the lab, greenhouse gas emissions would be cut 80 percent globally by one estimate and water use by 90 percent. Vegetarians can see an ethical benet in burgers for which as they say in the movies no animals were harmed in their production. But not everybody is going to be charmed. You can almost bet your lunch money that someone will claim that this latest variant of frankenfood will cause humans harm. That bias exists far ahead of any evidence. Indeed, the biggest problem with producing meat from the lab might not be the extraordinary technology that allows it to be created; it might be the public relations struggle to have it accepted, even if can be sold for far less than natural meat. And you thought Spam had a PR problem. Pittsburgh Post Gazette
covered with a theater, the basin was intended to remain a hole. When Tom Leighton became mayor he was able to rework plans and build something else. No one can build over the basin. (At least not now.) But of course, if you really want to talk useless plots of missing earth, Luzerne County is the mother lode. Think abandoned strip mining pits. I grew up scrambling around them, marvelling at garbage dumped into them, and best of all swimming and oating in them as a Boy Scout. Many have since been reclaimed, though the process is slow and expen-
sive. Our old swimming hole, in contrast, reverted to nature largely on its own. Look at it now (the picture is only a few months old) and you could mistake it for a natural lake. Which would be comforting proof that, no matter how much humans muck the world up, nature can recover. Except for the fact that an expanding industrial park is now encroaching on our old campsite. When will we learn to leave hole enough alone?

Time to use laws against profiteers

Wall Street banking and nance interests, energy suppliers, medical service providers pharmaceutical conglomerates and public utility rms are all into price gouging and proting. Sadly no one who caused the crash of Wall Street by criminal negligence has gone to prison since 2008. Where is the justice? The cost has risen beyond affordability. All are running amok in unwarranted prots, which we can label as The bilking of the American public. America today has no energy policy and no trade policy which protects the workers or the consumers. The only ones protected are the scavengers of prot. Economists and academicians assume that the market is controlled by supply and demand, wherein price stabilization is realized. However, the present situation of proteering and price gouging dees this theory in that prices far exceed the demand while there are no shortages, although they are controlling production to create an image of short supply. The time has come for the

government to intervene. The U.S. Congress and administration neglect to provide the necessary guidance and strategies to see us through what would be a catastrophic economic period. I dont see any direct move to protect the well-being of the people. To allow major corporations to ourish during this national emergency, while at the same time many poor and xed-income families struggle to maintain a basic standard of living, is a national disgrace and should not be tolerated. The general public must play a vital part, that being an act of unication of purpose and to actively get involved in the process. We must assure that all Americans achieve an appropriate and necessary standard of living. Common
decency demands that we collectively ensure that humane conditions prevail to all sectors. We must lessen the effect imposed by the greedy at the expense of the needy. The oil and energy situation is a grab for prots, and they base their move on a free enterprise system or world market. This is a fabricated explanation solely for the consumption of the consumers. The truth is those entities have an insatiable appetite for prots unearned. The time has come to use the anti-trust law to lessen the negative impact on the general public. The law was enacted to protect us from those seeking to get more than an acceptable rate of prot.

From page 1A mold and then let it dry out. Gary Van Scoy, coordinator for the county Disaster Recovery Coalition, said many groups from all over the country came to the region to help ood victims. He said they removed mud and debris, tore out and rebuilt walls, rewired the house and installed new plumbing. Megan Boone, civic engagement coordinator for Wilkes University, said she and nine students helped at the Bloom house. She said it was a good experience for the students. According to Van Scoy and Michael Zimmerman, executive director of Family Services Association, the program got through some initial stumbling blocks, but with the cooperation of numerous volunteer groups, all homes were repaired. Zimmerman said guidance of the United Methodist Ministries, the Lutheran Ministries, the Presbytery of Lackawanna County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the local agencies tied to the Luzerne
Controller
From page 1A elected in 2009 by voters of all political registrations and said council members dont vote along party lines. Councilman Rick Morelli said council should follow the charter directive to appoint someone and said doing so will show the public council wants to move forward. Some citizens told county ofcials they have missed other charter requirements and deadlines. Doing nothing would be a dereliction of duty on councils part, said Councilman Harry Haas. Im not willing to punt this issue to the courts, Haas said. Councilman Rick Williams agreed, saying council has an obligation to citizens and taxpayers to make sure we have a functioning controller in ofce. Councilman Stephen A. Urban said he doesnt trust the courts to make the selection and said he doesnt consider four months a short time. Council will post the position on the county website, www.luzernecounty.org, today and conduct public interviews next week with plans to appoint someone Aug. 27. In addition to Brominski, Councilman Stephen J. Urban voted against the selection, saying he did not have a written copy of the selection plan. The replacement must be a registered Republican dating back to November 2009, when Grifth, a Republican, was elected to the post, the charter says. The position will pay a gross $703 per week based on the controllers annual $36,562 salary. Council cant require specic work experience because candidates can run for the position regardless of experience. The chosen person cannot have a felony record or any contracts doing business with the county or its authorities and boards, according to the charter. In other business Tuesday, county Manager Robert Lawton presented a mid-year nancial report and said he is condent the county will end the year within or below budget. As of June 27, the county received $90.6 million in revenue, or 73.72 percent of the $122.98 million general fund operating budget. The county spent $52 million, or 42.3 percent of budgeted funds during the same period, he said. Lawton said plans are in the works to compensate for prison overtime expenses that are overbudget and prothonotarys ofce revenue that is falling short of budgeted targets. Councilman Jim Bobeck also presented a proposal to set the work week for full-timers at a minimum of 37.5 hours. If the standard is adopted by council later this month, the administration will convert employees who are working less than that to the new requirement, though a change cant be implemented in union contracts without negotiation. County employees work 32.5- to 40 hours per week, depending on the position and department. Morelli asked if there are estimates on the cost of paying workers to put in more hours. Lawton said there will be no increased cost because he will need fewer workers if some receive pay increases to work more.

The home of 98-year-old Cora Bloom on Garden Drive in Hunlock Creek is the final flood home to be repaired through the Disaster Recovery Coalition of Luzerne County. Shown is Bill Begin, center, Cora Blooms son in law, talking with Jan Thyren of the Disaster Relief Coalition, and Wes Levin of the Southern Baptist Relief Coalition.
County Disaster Recovery Coalition were able to formalize a management structure and push through the initial growing pains. Zimmerman said that by connecting the disaster clients to local funding sources, they were able to obtain nearly $88,000 in services that otherwise
would have been left to the expense of the coalition. The coalition was able to procure two tractortrailers full of reconstruction materials to be used throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and obtained 5,000 square feet of storage space as an in-kind donation. Through July 31, 67
cases have been completed, meaning requested assistance was provided. The number does not include cases that were closed due to requests for inappropriate assistance or non-compliant applicants. The Luzerne County Disaster Recovery Coalition is composed of 24 different organizations.
Brace
From page 1A agents said the incident took place in 2007 or 2008, when he was the countys deputy chief clerk. A longtime government employee, Brace worked three decades for the city of Wilkes-Barre, retiring as clerk/administrator in 2001 with a $42,000 annual pension from city. Weeks later, he was hired as deputy to county Clerk of Courts Bob Reilly, a position he held until December 2005. Former commissioners Greg Skrepenak and Todd Vonderheid then hired Brace for the deputy chief clerk job. He took advantage of an early-retirement package in 2008 and was quickly appointed by the state as a registrar with the Bureau of Vital Statistics. He resigned the post in December 2009, shortly after agreeing to plead guilty. That same month, the Luzerne County Retirement Board unanimously voted to end Braces $740-per-month county pension once his guilty plea was accepted, which took place on Jan. 6, 2010. U.S. District Judge James Munley also said Brace had accepted $800 a month over a two-year period from a company that believed he would help it get business with Wilkes-Barre city. Brace had faced up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing guidelines under his plea agreement called for four to 10 months, and prosecutors agreed to recommend a lesser sentence if Brace assisted in the investigation of others. In his lawsuit, Brace claimed he discovered his benets had been withheld as early as November 2009, prior to the termination vote. He claimed he was never given a legally required hearing prior to the termination vote. In their motion to dismiss, which was granted by Caputo, county ofcials countered there had been no due process or equal protection violations against Brace, and that they were entitled to immunity for taking action in their ofcial capacity. County Councilman Stephen A. Urban, who served as a county commissioner from 2000 until the end of 2011, when he took ofce on county council, was pleased to learn of Tuesdays ruling. Im glad he lost his appeal, because Bill Brace was a disgrace to public ofcials in Luzerne County and did not deserve a pension, said Urban, who was one of the defendants named in Braces suit. Councilman Eugene Kelleher, who serves on the retirement board, agreed, saying he was glad the countys position was upheld in the best interest of the taxpayers.

From page 1A Nobody wants to live next to a drug house, he said. Were at war. Were losing. Were out-manned. Were outgunned. But they dont have to follow any rules. So we have to have the tools to combat it. If its inicting on your rights a little bit, so be it; but the people next door to you, the people behind you, the people in front of you, they dont want to live in that condition, and thats what were concerned about. Resident Besty Summers worries about potential selective enforcement once the amendment is passed and pointed to herself as an example, saying she was ned $1,000 by the city in 2011 for not having a license for her rental property and not having a property manager. I dont think another ordinance thats not enforced will solve the problem she said. She said the shut-down properties will be targeted by thieves for the copper wiring and pipes. Council Chairman Bill Barrett urged Summers and other residents who know of rental properties that are not registered or inspected to contact city ofcials. But Summers refused to comply. I would never turn somebody in, because I think your ordinance is garbage, she said. Landlord Bob Kadluboski asked for the exact guidelines of the amendment so he can understand it. He also asked why Sherman Hills apartment complex, the scene of multiple shootings and drug arrests, has been allowed to remain open under the citys existing rental ordinances. Barrett responded the amendment will apply to Sherman Hills. The poor turnout for the meeting alarmed Tony Mannino, who owns rental units in the city. The code enforcement and health inspectors are doing their jobs, he said. The city could use more of them and police ofcers, too. Theres nobody to blame here. I blame the people of Wilkes-Barre. Theres 35 people in this room, he said. The condition of her neighborhood on South Meade Street made Carolyn Brennan ashamed. I am no longer proud to say I live in the Heights, Brennan said, adding something has to be done about the crime. She asked for increased police patrols in the area, saying six of the seven homicides in the city this year have been in the Heights. Mayor Tom Leighton said the expansion of the tactical unit to six ofcers from two since July has been working and its sending a strong message with the more than two dozen arrests in high-crime areas. The word were getting is that theyre hearing the message, he said. Brennan said she is not out all the time to see the police patrols. I just want to rest my head at night, she said.
Booker,Lonegan win special US Senate primaries

ANGELA DELLI SANTI and GEOFF MULVIHILL
Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. A rising star in the Democratic Party and a Republican former mayor won their parties primaries on Tuesday to set up a campaign of political and stylistic contrasts as they seek to ll the nal 15 months of the term of the late U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg. Newark Mayor Cory Booker defeated three experienced politicians U.S. Reps. Rush Holt and Frank Pallone and state Assembly Speaker Sheila
Oliver in a Democratic primary that may have been more competitive had the eld been less crowded. The race was a major draw for them partly because of New Jerseys history of electing only Democrats to the Senate the past 40 years. In the Republican primary, former Bogota mayor Steve Lonegan won handily over Franklin Township physician Alieta Eck, who had never run for ofce before. With about 60 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday, Booker had about 75 percent of the vote in
the Democratic contest, with Pallone, who had the support of Lautenbergs family, a distant second. Lonegan had about 80 percent of the vote in the GOP contest. The election is on a compressed schedule. The day after Lautenbergs death in June, Republican Gov. Chris Christie scheduled the primaries for Tuesday and a special election for Oct. 16, 20 days before the voting day on which hes seeking re-election. The move drew criticism, with some opponents saying Christie was spending $12 million on an extra election
so he could avoid being on the same ballot as Booker, a claim Christie denies. Booker ran with the support of New Jerseys Democratic establishment and celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, who joined him at a fundraiser, and Eva Longoria, who campaigned with him. Booker is famous in the political world for his life story and his social media fanaticism: He has 1.4 million followers on Twitter, which he uses to eld complaints about local issues such as sinkholes and to dispense inspirational quotes.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency reports that NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that climate change is real and humans contribute to the rising global temperature. OMalley said politicians must recognize these facts and write laws to protect the environment. Future generations are going to be impacted by what we havent done, OMalley said.

Fan who fell to his death knew Braves stadium well

Associated Press Writers
JEFF MARTIN and PHILLIP LUCAS
ATLANTA Lifetime Atlanta Braves fan Ronald Lee Homer Jr. knew the stadium where he fell to his death well. He attended three or four games a month at Turner Field and watched as many televised games as he could, his father said. He always had on a Braves hat. On Monday night, Homer, 30, was waiting out a rain delay in a fourth-level smoking area with a 42-inch railing that would have come up to the 6-foot-6 fans midsection. Hed told his mother during a phone conversation that the rain was letting up and he was about to head to his seat for the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Shortly afterward, he fell about 85 feet into a parking lot. He said I love you mom, and I said I love you too and that was it, his mother, Connie Homer, told The Associated Press on Tuesday morning. While its not clear exactly why he fell, police say the death around 8:30 appears to have been an accident and
didnt involve foul play. At least four witnesses told police that no one else was standing near him when he fell. A police report released Tuesday says Homer was unconscious and wasnt breathing when paramedics arrived. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Toxicology tests were pending, but the medical examiner says he died from injuries in the fall. The frequency of such falls around the country including two others in Atlanta in the past year raises the question of whether stadiums are safe enough. The International Building Code, which is the accepted industry standard, has a minimum height requirement of 42 inches for guard rails that act as protective barriers in open-sided areas such as walkways or smoking platforms. Railings in front of seated areas must be 26 inches. Before Tuesday nights game between the Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies at Turner Field, the team showed a picture of Homer on the scoreboard and observed a moment of silence. See FAN | 4B

Soccer-loving pope cheers Messi, other players

FRANCES DEMILIO
Associated Press Writer
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis cheered fellow Argentine Lionel Messi and other soccer stars Tuesday as he led a morality-focused pep rally of sorts at the Vatican for Argentina and Italys national teams ahead of their eagerly awaited friendly match. Francis, the rst pontiff from Latin
America, is an avid soccer fan who roots for the Saints of San Lorenzo back in Buenos Aires. Since his election as pope in March he has accumulated a growing collection of soccer jerseys tossed to him by fans at his public appearances. He got two more on Tuesday: an Argentine and an Italian team jersey, each one signed by the players. Barcelona star Messi, his team-
mates on the Argentine national soccer squad, as well as Italys national team players were treated to a private audience with Francis in the Apostolic Palace ahead of Wednesdays rare match, which is being played in tribute to the new pope. Francis gracefully dodged the question of whether hed offer a papal blessing for his home countrys team. It will really be a bit difcult for
me to root, but luckily its a friendly match whose outcome doesnt count in the standings, he said. The pontiff noted the inuence of athletes, especially on youth, and told the players to remember that, for better or worse they are role models. Dear players, you are very popular. People follow you, and not just on the eld but also off it, he said. Thats a social responsibility.
The pope reminisced about going to soccer matches with his family as a youngster, and expressed concern about violence and discrimination in the sport, which he suggested keeps many families from attending the competitions today. Many soccer matches in Europe have been marred by brawling among See POPE | 3B

been the victim of an equally embarrassing hoax a girlfriend who never was. Then there was the disclosure that coach Brian Kelly had interviewed with the Philadelphia Eagles, the revelation that quarterback Everett Golson had been suspended for the fall for poor academic judgment and the defection of blue chip signee Eddie Vanderdoes to UCLA. Talk about luck of the Irish. Kelly says those problems are behind Notre Dame as it seeks to prove it is ready to consistently contend for national titles. Weve worked hard to put ourselves in a position to be back in the national spotlight. We have no intention of giving that up, Kelly said. Here are four things to watch as the Irish look to post four straight winning seasons for the rst time since 1995-98 and seek back-to-back seasons with nine victories or more for the rst time since 2005-06. NEW STARS: The Irish lost their best big-play players in linebacker Manti Teo, tight end Tyler Eifert (both NFL draft picks) and Golson. The two biggest-name returnees are defensive linemen Louis Nix III and Stephon Tuitt. The Irish need to nd a go-to guy on offense and leaders on defense. On offense, the Irish need to establish a deep threat. Aside from TJ Jones and DeVaris Daniels, no other returning receiver caught more than seven passes. Teo was the face of the defense, winning just about every award shy of the Heisman. On offense and defense, the Irish need to nd playmakers. REPLACING GOLSON: Golson wasnt outstanding as a rst-year starter, but good See IRISH | 3B

PARKER, Colo. Its a quick ride down the highway from this weeks Solheim Cup to where Morgan Pressel introduced herself to America. Eight years ago this summer, she was a 17-year-old amateur, a childhood prodigy from a blue-blood sporting family, who found herself a few good shots away from a playoff at the U.S. Open at Cherry Hills. A virtually unknown player named Birdie Kim stole away that dream, holing out for what else? a birdie with a once-in-a-lifetime shot from the greenside bunker on No. 18. Squinting into the sunlight, watching the scene play out up ahead, Pressel saw the ball drop. It was like, I cant believe that actually just happened, Pressel said that day, the last of that weeks waterfall of tears still pooling below her eyes. More accomplished and more composed in 2013 than 2005, Pressel is one of Americas top players at the Solheim Cup, which begins Friday at Colorado Golf Club. She brings a 7-2-2 career record into this,
just kept playing. I felt like I was close and Id have more chances in my life, eventually, after I got over the disappointment of it. At the British Open this year, she faced a different sort of nal-day pressure. Struggling with an injured thumb that sent her down the rankings in 2012, Pressel needed a good nish to earn the last automatic spot on Meg Mallons team. After holding the 54-hole lead, Pressel nished tied for fourth and got the spot. Odds are, she would have been making the trip to the Denver area this week either way. I told Meg, she needs to be a pick if she doesnt qualify through her ranking, said Brittany Lincicome, also making her fourth Solheim Cup appearance. Solheim would not be the same without Morgan here. Asked what she brings to the U.S. team, which is trying to stay undefeated in matches played in the United States, Pressel modestly replied: Hair ribbons and tattoos, speaking to her unofcial role as the teams red-white-and-blue coordinator. But she is more than that, and the 4-0 record from last time says it all.
Brandon Matthews chips on to the green at the second hole of the championship round of the Allen Tournament last summer. This year, hes taken his game to the sports biggest stage for non-professionals, advancing to the match play portion of the U.S. Amateur Championship in Brookline, Mass.

Matthews
From page 1B likes Boston, but said its a bit different from the City of Brotherly Love. Its nice up here, Matthews said. Its a little tougher to get around, but it is nice. Matthews will face off against Matt Pinizzotto from Salinis, Calif., at 10:40 a.m. today at The Country Club for a chance to advance to the round of 32 Thursday. There will be two rounds of match play Thursday, then single rounds Friday and Saturday, leading to Sundays championship. Just missing the cut was Moscows Nicholas Reach, who placed in a tie for 67th at 5-over. Stretches of ve bogeys over 11 holes Monday and four in eight holes Tuesday were enough to keep Reach from advancing to match play. His 145 was one stroke from qualifying for a tiebreaker to enter the eld of 64.
Irish
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly led the Fighting Irish to their best regular season since winning a national championship in 1988, but not much has gone right for the Fighting Irish since the calendar turned to 2013.

Parseghian was coach. BALL CARRIERS: The Irish nished 38th in the nation in rushing offense, their best nish in 11 seasons. But their top two rushers from last season, Theo Riddick (917 yards) and Cierre Wood (742 yards) are gone and the Irish are without Golson (298 yards). Notre Dames only 1,000-yard rusher the past six seasons was Wood in 2011. The leading candidates to carry the load this year are George Atkinson III and Amir Carlisle. Atkinson averaged 7.1 yards a carry on 51 carries last season, while coaches say Carlisle, a transfer from USC who missed all of last season with an ankle injury, has a great initial burst and good hands. Freshman Greg Bryant and returning backs Cam McDaniel and Will Mahone also are vying for time.
Pope
From page 1B fans as well as racist chants against players of African and other descent. One of Italys national team members, Mario Balotelli, who is black and has been the target of fans racism, was the only player to get private time with the pope. Francis and the striker spoke together in a small room off the sumptuous AP photo Clementine Hall where Pope Francis receives an autographed ball from Italy goalkeeper the audience was held. A Vatican spokesGianluigi Buffon, left, as coach Cesare Prandelli, center, and president of the Italian soccer federation Giancarlo Abete smile during man, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini, said a private audience at the Vatican on Tuesday. Balotelli looked emotional after their talk but that the player declined to say what he discussed with Francis. On Monday, Balotelli remarked that perhaps the pope might offer him special greetings because of his birthday this week. Italian national coach Claudio Cesare Prandelli said he didnt get the chance to invite Francis to Wednesdays game. He anticipated my question, Prandelli said after the gathering. He said he has received so many requests to attend the game, but indicated that the Vatican security apparatus gave the thumbs-down. Prandelli said Francis told him that Vatican security ofcials scold him for being so undisciplined, a reference to the popes frequent breaches of protocol when he embraces the faithful in crowds or shuns bulletproof vehicles. The pope also asked the players to pray for him, so that I, on the eld upon which God placed me, can play an honest and courageous game for the good of us all. Such a plea made quite an impression on Italys captain, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who handed Francis an autographed soccer ball. Hes warmed up the hearts again of all the faithful who might have drifted away from the church during past papacies, Buffon said. With a pope whos like this, its easier to become better. Messi said there were so many people at the gathering that he didnt get any private time to talk with the pope, who vigorously shook hands with each player. But the Argentine striker, whose left leg muscle strain could force him to sit out Wednesdays match, seemed to take the popes message about role models to heart. The best way to respond to Francis appeal is to put on a clean show tomorrow, on the eld and in the stands, he said.

ATLANTA Kris Medlen continued his late-season surge by winning his fourth straight start, Chris Johnson hit a two-run home run and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 Tuesday night. Medlen (10-10) appeared to be in danger of being sent to the bullpen one month ago. In late July, Tim Hudson was lost for the season with a broken right ankle and Paul Maholm went on the 15-day DL with a bruised left wrist. Though Maholm may be only one minor league rehab start away from coming off the disabled list, Medlens spot in the rotation appears more secure. He left after walking Erik Kratz to open the eighth, getting a standing ovation after allowing one run on ve hits in seven innings. After David Carpenter pitched a perfect eighth, Craig Kimbrel earned his 37th save by recording the nal three outs. Chase Utley had three hits for Philadelphia, including a one-out single off Kimbrel in the ninth. Kimbrel struck out Domonic Brown and ended the game on Darin Rufs popup to rst baseman Freddie Freeman. Johnson gave Atlanta a 3-0 lead in the third inning with his homer off rookie Ethan Martin (1-2). Johnson leads the National League with his .337 batting average. Martin, a right-hander who lives in Toccoa, Ga., northeast of Atlanta, lost to Medlen and the Braves for the second time in only three major league starts. Martin took a 6-4 loss to the Braves in his debut on Aug. 2 and allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in ve innings Tuesday night. He had six strikeouts. The Braves took the lead in the second. Tyler Pastornicky, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the day when Dan Uggla was placed on the 15-day disabled list, led off with a single and scored on Medlens twoout double over Darin Ruf in right eld. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Pastornicky will start at second base as Uggla will miss at least two weeks to have Lasik eye surgery.

Trailing 2-1, the Blue Jays tied it in the bottom of the eighth when J.P. Arencibia hit a leadoff home run off Junichi Tazawa. The homer was Arencibias 18th and his rst since July 19. ST.

Slump
From page 1B Its been a rough month where Ive been hitting everything off the end or getting jammed. But lately Ive been working with (hitting coach) Butch (Wynegar) and things are getting a lot better. I was just happy I was able to contribute tonight and on my birthday, said Patterson, who went 3 for 5 with a stolen base as he broke out of a slump thats lasted nearly a month. After the game youll hear some guys talking about where we are (in the standings), but I think were more focused on going out there, finishing strong, lets be committed for three hours. Then sit back and see where we are in the standings and hopefully in the next few days well be in the mix. Cotham nearly got out of a jam in the first inning. He walked the leadoff batter, Marcus Semien then a single to Steve Tolleson to put runners on first and third with no outs. Tolleson attempted to steal second, but was gunned down by Murphy, the RailRiders catcher. After a groundout with the infield in, Cotham couldve seen his way out of the inning. But with two out and a two-strike count, he balked in the first run of the game putting Charlotte ahead 1-0. The right-hander had to throw 23 pitches to get out of the first. It didnt take long for the RailRiders to help Cotham forget that first inning as the offense put up two runs in the bottom of the first with the big hit being a Randy Ruiz RBI double for a 2-1 SWB lead. SWB tacked on a run in the bottom of the fourth when Murphy singled in a run for a 3-1 advantage. Erik Johnson, the fourth-ranked prospect in the White Sox organization according to Baseball America, got the start for Charlotte. After the first inning when the RailRiders sent seven batters to the plate and got two hits, Johnson only allowed three hits the rest of the way. He appeared to get stronger as the game progressed retiring the last six batters he faced and three of his seven strikeouts came in the last two frames of his six-inning outing. He didnt walk any, but hit three.

Fan
From page 1B We are saddened by this tragic incident and will continue our investigation along with the Atlanta Police Department, Braves spokeswoman Beth Marshall said. She declined to discuss the circumstances of the death or whether the team was planning safety changes. Connie Homer said her son followed the team through losing seasons as well as winning ones. It didnt matter if they were winning, losing or what hes been a Braves fan forever, she said. His father, Ronald Homer, said the family is hurting. This this is going to hurt us for the rest of our life, he said. When you lose a kid, not only your kid but your best friend, too, its bad. Homer grew up in Conyers, Ga., and graduated in 2001 from Rockdale High School, where he was involved in student government. He was single, had one sister and did landscape work for a living. He was big hearted, just a great guy, very respectful, his mother said. Connie Homer said shes heard nothing from authorities as to what might have caused her son, who was a smoker, to fall. They called us up to the hospital and they told us he was gone, she said. The whole thing is surreal. Mondays accident wasnt the first fatal fall by a fan at Turner Field, and two other people fell from heights at the citys pro football stadium in the past year. Isaac Grubb, 20, of Lenoir City, Tenn., died after falling over a railing at the Georgia Dome during a football game between Tennessee and North Carolina State on Aug. 31, 2012. Authorities said he landed on another man seated in the lower level, and that alcohol was involved. A man fell about 25 feet over a staircase railing at a Georgia TechMiami football game in the Georgia Dome on Sept. 22, 2012 and was not seriously injured. In May 2008, a 25-yearold Cumming, Ga. man suffered head injuries when he fell down a stairwell at Turner Field during a game between the Braves and the New York Mets and later died. Police found that alcohol was involved. The Braves have said the death was the first one at the park that didnt involve a medical condition. Turner Field became the Braves home in 1997, a year after serving as the site of events for the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Lees return expected to boost CowboysD
NFL BRIEFS
Burress put on injured reserve list

OXNARD, Calif. Blame for the Dallas Cowboys missing the playoffs last year often centers around quarterback Tony Romo. But perhaps overlooked is the absence of ve defensive starters heading into the season nale, which the Cowboys lost to the Redskins in a showdown for the NFC East title. The biggest loss might have been linebacker Sean Lee, the quarterback of the defense who missed the nal 10 games because of seasonending toe surgery. In fact, his return this year cant be overstated. Lee arguably has surpassed Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Ware as the best player on defense. What is certain is that Lee is the most important defensive player in terms of leadership, instincts and passion, infectious traits that translate to the rest of the team. Hes the bell cow of the defense; hes outstanding, coach Jason Garrett said of Lee. Seans just an outstanding football player. Hes got great instincts for the game. He sees things. He diagnoses plays. He loves the game. He loves the game maybe as much as anybody Ive ever seen. Lee has carried that passion to the practice eld since the start of training camp, and it was most
evident in Fridays 19-17 preseason loss to the Oakland Raiders. On the third play from scrimmage, Lee had a sack and forced a fumble that led to a Cowboys eld goal. Hes so committed to getting himself and our team better, Garrett said. His standard for himself and for everybody else around him is really high. Nothings ever good enough. In a real positive way, hes got an obsession with being great. Hes got a great passion for the game, and it shows up. His instincts are rare. Lee, a second-round draft pick in 2010 out of Penn State, doesnt shy from the praise or expectations. He admittedly wants to be great and wants to be the leader of the team. But he puts it all on work ethic, personal accountability and studying the game. Its hard for me to not go full speed because I only have one speed, Lee said. I practice at a high level because I think that is the only way it transfers to a game. You have to practice the same way you play in a game because its muscle memory. You practice hard, you play hard. If you study offense and know how teams attack you, you can anticipate before the snap and put yourself in a better position to make plays. Its a combination of that and having a feel for the game. Lees feel for the game was at the

root of the teams decision to move from the 3-4 to the 4-3 defense in the off-season under new coordinator Monte Kifn. The Cowboys studied personnel and felt they had a lot of defenders who t the 4-3, none more so than Lee, who is considered the perfect middle linebacker and a possible play-making star similar to former Bears standout Brian Urlacher. Sean is one of those guys that can probably play well in any defense, Garrett said. Having said that, he has some history playing this style of defense in college, and he is a guy who can run to the football. Any time you can protect a player like that from those big linemen coming out at you, he is just going to make more plays. Lee has worked hard at learning the new schemes this season, even spending time with former Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen earlier in camp to pick his brain about the 4-3. He loves the game, said Nguyen, now a San Antonio radio personality. He wants to do everything he can to be successful.
PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers have put wide receiver Plaxico Burress on the injured reserve list, likely ending his season. The Steelers made the move Tuesday, a day after Burress turned 36. Burress had surgery Monday morning to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. Burress joined the NFL with Pittsburgh in 2000. He has caught 553 passes for 8,499 yards and 64 touchdowns in the regular season with the Steelers, Giants and Jets. He played three games for Pittsburgh last season.

Smith was able to move around the eld with only occasional signs of a limp Tuesday. Ryan says the possibility of fans booing Sanchez will absolutely not have an effect on the decision for Saturdays game. Mornhinweg says its too early to say if one of the quarterbacks has taken the lead in the competition.

Cardinals
Colts activate Bradshaw, Angerer from PUP list

AP Sports Writer
MICHAEL MAROT
ANDERSON, Ind. Ahmad Bradshaw is nally eligible to practice. He still may not play for a while. On Tuesday, coach Chuck Pagano said Indianapolis had activated the former Giants running back and linebacker Pat Angerer from the physically unable to perform list. The Colts wasted no time in putting Angerer on the eld, sending him in halfway through the morning walkthrough. The timing of Bradshaws actual return isnt as clear. He feels great, and if it was left up to him, he would go today, Pagano said. But were going to protect him from himself. Hes going to be day-today. Bradshaw opened training camp on the PUP list, barring him from practice. After he participated in a walkthrough last week, the Colts and league ofcials began talking about whether Bradshaw, who is recovering from offseason surgery on his right foot, should be activated. We had discussions with the league concerning Ahmads status and decided it was time to bring him off the list, Pagano said. Bradshaw is now eligible to play in Sunday nights preseason game against his former team, but that isnt going to happen. The former New York star told reporters he did not expect to play. Bradshaw was cut by
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Despite spraining his right ankle pretty good, New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle expects to be ready for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Wearing a protective boot on his foot, Rolle made it clear that he does not like being hurt and that he will do everything in his power to play quickly. Rolle was hurt when his feet became tangled with tight end Bear Pascoe during a sideline pass on a 7-on-7 drill on Monday. The 30-year-said the injury happened before he jumped for the pass, with his ankle rolling both to the inside and outside.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles had his ailing right foot examined by two orthopedic surgeons and they conrmed the Kansas City Chiefs diagnosis of a mild strain. Charles turned his right ankle early in practice on Monday. Charles walked down the long, grassy hill to the practice elds Tuesday without a boot or a noticeable limp. He spent some time with the training staff off to the side, rid-
GLENDALE, Ariz. The Honey Badger is about to get his rst NFL start. Arizona coach Bruce Arians says rookie Tyrann Mathieu will start at free safety in place of injured Rashad Johnson when the Cardinals play the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Mathieu has been a sensation in training camp as he looks to make a comeback after being booted from the LSU team for marijuana use and sitting out football altogether last season. In his NFL debut at Green Bay, Mathieu had a 12-yard sack, a tackle for loss, a pass defensed, two special teams tackles and a 24-yard punt return.

CORTLAND, N.Y. Rex Ryan says the New York Jets have not yet determined whether Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith will start the teams next preseason game against Jacksonville on Saturday night. Both Ryan and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg say Tuesday that there are variables involved, including Smiths AP photo recovery from a mild ankle Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano talks with players during practice last week in Anderson, Ind. sprain. Smith was injured the Giants on Feb. 6 and didnt sign with Indy until June 11. In six seasons in New York, Bradshaw had 921 carries for 4,232 yards, 32 TDs and three 1,000-yard seasons. He also won two Super Bowl rings and will be best remembered for scoring the go-ahead touchdown against New England in the 2012 Super Bowl, which was played in Indianapolis. Its the only time a Super Bowl was won with a rushing touchdown in the nal minute. He left New York ranked sixth all-time in yards rushing, seventh all-time in carries and ninth all-time in TD runs. When fully healthy, Bradshaw is expected to compete with Vick Ballard and Donald Brown for the Colts starting job. Were going to take it slow. I feel great right now, but its a process, Bradshaw said. The most exciting part is that I see a lot of potential for this offense. Angerer also has been recovering from offseason surgery on his right foot. Indy took Angerer in the second round of the 2010 draft, and he wound up starting 11 games and making 50 tackles as a rookie. In 2011, Angerer led the Colts and nished fourth in the NFL in tackles (146). Last season, though, Angerer was slowed by a foot injury and nished with 57 tackles, started only three times and missed ve games. The Colts also signed cornerback Johnny Adams and linebacker Monte Simmons, and waived injured linebackers Justin Hickman (foot) and Quinton Spears (hamstring). If Hickman and Spears clear waivers, they will go on injured reserve.

PENNSYLVANIA - Todays announcement by CompTek has the Free TV Hotlines ringing off the hook. Thats because Wilkes-Barre area residents who find their zip code listed in todays publication are getting Free TV channels thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention called Clear-Cast. Wilkes-Barre area residents who call the Toll Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline to get Clear-Cast can pull in Free TV channels with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills. This announcement is being so widely advertised because a U.S. Federal law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to receive these over-the-air digital signals for free with no monthly bills. Heres how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek micro antenna device with advanced technology links up directly to pull in the Free TV signals being broadcast in your area with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills. Clear-Cast was invented by a renowned NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scientist who currently holds 23 U.S. Govt issued patents. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in developing antenna systems for NASA, Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and companies around the world. His latest patent-pending invention, ClearCast, is a sleek micro antenna device engineered to pull in the Free TV signals through advanced technology with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills. Clear-Cast is being released to the general public because we just dont think people should keep paying for TV when they can get it for free, said Conrad Miller, Manager of Operations at CompTek. Theres never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get with Clear-Cast are absolutely free. So you see, Clear-Cast is not like cable or satellite. It was engineered to access solely the over-the-air signals that include all the top rated national and regional networks, like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like Americas Got Talent, NCIS, 60 Minutes, American Idol, The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelorette, Person of Interest, CSI, The Mentalist, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and more all for free with no monthly bills, Miller said. Thats why Clear-Cast is such a great alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying expensive cable and satellite bills every month, he said. People who get Clear-Cast will say it feels like getting an extra paycheck every month. You see, with Clear-Cast youll receive free over-the-air broadcast channels with crystal clear digital picture, not the cable or satellite only channels. So being able to eliminate those channels puts all the money you were spending back in your pocket every month, Miller said. And heres the best part. The sleek micro antenna device called Clear-Cast is so technically advanced it pulls in even more of the channels being broadcast in your area for Free with no monthly bills. That way you can channel surf through the favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels youll get depends on where you live. People living in large metropolitan areas may get up to 53 static-free channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even if youre in a rural area that just pulls in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts theres hundreds of shows each year to watch for free. Consumers report that the crystal clear picture quality with Clear-Cast is the best theyve ever seen. Thats because you get virtually all pure uncompressed signals direct from the broadcasters for free. Clear-Cast was engineered to link up directly like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line package. Its sturdy copper alloy and polymer construction will most likely far outlast your TV. It just couldnt be any easier to get Free over-the-air digital TV shows with Clear-Cast. Simply plug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast on a window pane and run autoscan. It works on virtually any model TV and is easily hidden out of sight behind a curtain or window treatment. Thousands of Wilkes-Barre area residents are expected to call to get Clear-Cast because it just doesnt make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get hundreds of shows absolutely free. So, Wilkes-Barre area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in todays publication need to immediately call the Free TV Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get Clear-Cast that pulls in Free TV with crystal clear digital picture. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered.

Vickers gets full ride with Michael Waltrip Racing

Dillon wants top 15 finish driving for injured Stewart

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Brian Vickers has a full-time ride again on the Sprint Cup Series. Michael Waltrip Racing announced Tuesday that Vickers will drive the No. 55 Aarons Toyota for a full Sprint Cup schedule beginning next season. Andrea Freeman, the vice president of marketing for Aarons Inc., says the sponsorship deal is for both the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Vickers said hes ecstatic about the decision. I feel like Ive found a home here at MWR, Vickers told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Im partnered with a great team. A lot of it is about chemistry. Sometimes its hard to nd that right mesh, but when you nd it, you know it. The 29-year-old Vickers has endured plenty of adversity the last three years. His racing career was derailed in May 2010 when 11 races into the season doctors discovered blood clots in his legs and lungs. Two months later he underwent two procedures to close a hole in his heart and insert a stent into a vein in his left leg. Vickers said at the time
he didnt know if hed recover, let alone drive a stock car again. He was medically cleared to return to racing in 2011 but his team struggled and he nished a disappointing 25th in the point standings. After the season he was dealt another blow when Red Bull pulled out of Cup racing leaving Vickers without a full-time ride. Hes been racing parttime on the Cup Series ever since with MWR, sharing a ride with Mark Martin. Hes running a full schedule on the Nationwide Series this year for Joe Gibbs Racing. Its been a while since Ive had a ride, so this feels great, Vickers said with a laugh. Vickers said getting a
full sponsorship deal like this would have made him happy regardless, but given his health problems in recent years it makes it extra special. He said there were times he didnt know if anyone would ever take a chance on him again. Oh, of course, Vickers said. Between everything that has happened between the health issues and being in the hospital to Red Bull shutting down, did it come to mind? Absolutely. But one thing I have learned is you have to live every day one day at a time. You have to make plans for the future but you also have to live in the moment, which is a difcult balance. Ive learned that you have to appreci-

ate what you have. Thats where I am right now. Its rare in todays NASCAR world when a driver gets a full-time sponsorship from a company, let alone a two-year deal like Vickers received. But Aarons Inc. feels like it made the right choice. Freeman said she got to know Vickers and
his inspirational story over the past few months and was convinced he was the right man to continue the companys involvement in NASCAR. Were really excited about the passion he brings to the sport and feel like he will be a great representative for our brand, Freeman said.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Austin Dillon is keeping his expectations at a reasonable level heading into the weekend. Dillon said Tuesday his goal is to nish in the top 15 when he lls in for the injured Tony Stewart at Sundays NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. I think that would be where we need to start and anything past that would be a good day, Dillon said. Im just looking forward to getting in the car and seeing what I can do. The 23-year-old Dillon says theres some added pressure stepping in for Stewart, someone he considers one of his racing idols. But he said Stewart has
shown great condence in him driving the No. 14 Chevrolet. Tony texted to say, Im glad I have a good wheel man in my racecar this weekend. Thats pretty special to me, Dillon said. Stewart is recovering from a broken right leg suffered in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Its unclear when Stewart will return to racing, but in the meantime StewartHaas Racing (SHR) continues to eld his No. 14 Chevrolet SS in the Sprint Cup Series. Theres a chance Dillon could run more races for Stewart while he continues to heal but nothing has been decided. SHS has not named a driver for the Aug. 24 race at Bristol.

Juan Pablo Montoya will not be back for an eighth NASCAR season with Chip Ganassi. Ganassi President Steve Lauletta announced the decision to the team Tuesday, multiple people present for the announcement told AP on the condition of anonymity because Ganassi does not comment on driver contracts. Montoya has been with Ganassi since 2006 when he abruptly left Formula One for NASCAR. Its his second stint with the car owner the two teamed together to win the 1999 CART championship and 2000 Indianapolis 500 before Montoya moved to F1. But results in NASCAR have been sporadic. Montoya has just two wins in 239 career starts and his best season nish was eighth in 2009.

US appliance maker eyeing Chinese firm
Coke to defend safety of aspartame in ad

NEW YORK CocaCola plans to run its rst ad defending the safety of articial sweeteners today, a move that comes as the company looks to stem declining sales of diet soda. The print ad is set to run in USA Today in the Atlanta area, followed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Thursday and the Chicago Tribune next week. It says diet drinks can help people manage their weight and stresses the scientic evidence showing the safety of aspartame, which is more commonly known under the NutraSweet brand name. The ad represents the next phase of a campaign Coca-Cola Co. launched in January to push back at critics who blame its sugary drinks for fueling obesity rates. The rst wave of ads outlined the companys commitment to ghting obesity and pointed to the many diet options it offers. Now Coca-Cola is trying to reassure people that those lower-calorie drinks arent harmful. Coke is trying to get out front and proactively defend these diet sweeteners, said John Sicher, editor of Beverage Digest, which tracks the industry. The fading popularity of soft drinks in the U.S. has been a long-running trend, given worries that the sugary zz makes people fat. But more recently, people have been pulling back on diet soda as well, signaling that concerns about soda go beyond weight gain. In fact, sales of diet sodas are falling at a faster rate than regular sodas in the U.S., according to Beverage Digest. Last year, for example, sales volume for Coke fell 1 percent, while Diet Coke fell 3 percent. Pepsi fell 3.4 percent, while Diet Pepsi fell 6.2 percent. The declines come even though the Food and Drug Administration says aspartame might be safely used in foods as a sweetener, and the ingredient can be found in a wide array of other type of drinks and foods. The American Cancer Society also notes that most studies using people have found that aspartame is not linked to an increased risk of cancer, including the largest study on the topic. Still, some feel there might be effects from consuming large quantities of articial sweeteners over a lifetime that havent been detected. Articial ingredients in general are also falling out of favor as people increasingly move toward organic and natural ingredients. Even if (aspartame is) 100 percent safe to use, its still problematic from a nutrition standpoint, said Andy Bellatti, a registered dietitian based in Las Vegas who is critical of the food industrys marketing practices. In a nod to the various concerns over articial sweeteners, Coca-Cola and rival PepsiCo Inc. are also working to come up with a drink that uses natural, low-calorie sweeteners.

Ackman and the retailers board also were bickering over how quickly the company should replace CEO Mike Ullman.

Water company issues biennial report
WASHINGTON U.S. retail sales edged up in July despite a drop in auto sales. A category of purchases that excludes the most volatile areas rose by the most in seven months, a sign that stronger consumer spending could boost economic growth. The Commerce Department said Tuesday that retail sales increased 0.2 percent in July from June. Sales had risen 0.6 percent in June from May. The change in both months was driven by autos, which surged 2.9 percent in June but fell 1 percent in July. Core retail sales, which exclude the volatile auto, gas and building supply categories, rose 0.5 percent in July. These sales had risen 0.1 percent in May and 0.2 percent in June. Julys gain was the biggest such advance since a similar 0.5 percent rise in December.

Retail sales are closely watched because theyre the governments rst report each month on consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. Sales at department stores rose 0.6 percent in July, rebounding from a 1.2 percent drop in June. A broader category of general merchandise, which covers big retailers such as
Walmart and Target, rose 0.4 percent after no change in June. Purchases at gasoline stations rose 0.9 percent, an increase that partly reected higher pump prices. Excluding gasoline, retail sales would have risen 0.1 percent in July. Sales at clothing stores rose 0.9 percent and 0.6 percent at grocery stores and restaurants. At furni-
ture stores, sales fell 1.4 percent. Purchases at building supply and appliance stores also weakened. The U.S. economy grew at lackluster annual rates of 1.1 percent in the January-March quarter and 1.7 percent in the April-June quarter. But many economists think growth will rebound in the second half of the year to an annual rate of roughly 2.5 percent. Optimism stems, in part, from the notion that consumer spending will strengthen for the remainder of the year as the effects of this years tax increases and spending cuts start to fade. Economists also think consistently improving home sales and higher stock prices will make people feel more comfortable spending money in stores. Steady job growth will help, too. In July, the unemployment rate fell to a 4-year low of 7.4 percent, from 7.6 percent in June, though employers added only a modest 162,000 jobs. Some big retail chains reported that shoppers seemed to be holding off on back-to-school shopping in July. Revenue at stores opened at least a year rose 3.5 percent compared with a year ago, according to a tally of 11 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers.

The April-June card delinquency rate declined from 0.63 percent in the same period last year, and also was down from 0.69 percent in the rst three months of the year. The latest late-payment rate is the second-lowest recorded by TransUnion since the second quarter of 1994, when the rate was 0.56 percent, and its running ahead of the historical

Peaches are ready for eating.
Pile on the peaches

Wapwallopen churchs plans a bit fuzzy in a good way

JOE SYLVESTER

WAPWALLOPEN Members of St. Johns United Church of Christ are hoping peaches can do for the church what apples have done for years. The longtime apple festival that takes place in the fall sparked a revival for the once-dying church. The congregation would like the new peach festival on Saturday to succeed in similar fashion. This is the churchs firstever festival that celebrates the radiantly colored peach, and the orange, red and yellow fruit grown just up the road in Hellers Orchards will be served in several forms, from homemade pies to shortcake sundaes to plain old peach ice cream. There will be other eats as well, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and corn on the cob cooked in the husk over an open fire, plus about 40 vendors, classic cars and music. August 17th, its right in the middle of peach season, said Will Brandeau, one of the festival organizers and church organist and choir director. He said grower Greg Heller is watching over the peach crop. Its coming along so nicely, Brandeau said at the church last week. He expects the peach pies to disappear quickly, based on when church members made them for a neighboring church with St. Johns convection oven. But he also knows a church member who makes the best peach ice cream he has tasted. The new festival is another way to raise money for the 100-125-member church, which sits along one of this tiny hamlets narrow streets near the Susquehanna River. Brandeau said the apple festival, which will celebrate

SHARON THOMPSON
Lexington Herald-Leader
LEXINGTON, Ky. When most of us crave a different avor of ice cream, we scope out the supermarket freezer case. We contemplate orange vanilla swirl, Southern blackberry cobbler, salted caramel pretzel, chocolate coconut almond chip or cookie dough. When restaurateur Toa Green wants a new avor, she imagines fresh ingredients everything from local strawberries and peaches to Kentucky bourbon and sorghum and creates her own. Green and her husband, Mike, own Thai Orchid Caf in Lexington, Ky., and recently introduced a sideline to their business craft ice cream. It started when Toa Green wanted to add coconut ice cream to the restaurant menu. I wanted a different dessert, and I wanted to make coconut ice cream, which they sell a lot in Thailand on the streets. I wanted to replicate that ice cream for selsh reasons because I really like it. I started with that avor, and it was really popular, so I experimented with other avors, she said.

So why have Americas readers taken to this Louisiana family returning to A&E today more than any other reality stars?

Thats the great thing about TV. Every week heck, every day delivers another passel of peculiarity potential. Especially among unscripted cable shows. Last week brought Historys The Legend of Shelby the Swampman, with its plunky music and gosh-golly narration heightening the title boondocks dudes natural (mis) behavior. Theres always some new wack-a-doodle way producers try to package real people, to attract some smidgen-sized fragment of our much-divided attention, at a fairly thrifty
production price. Tuesday nights cable lineup included at least two more, summarized herein to aid your viewing choices or lack of same. Dont try any of this stuff at home, you know. They all say that. Porter Ridge (10:30 p.m., Discovery). Thanks to the insatiable appetite for Duck Dynasty, that hit shows creators now headed north to the rolling hills of Indiana, my home state. But I grew up in the industrial North, far from the likes of shirtless junkyarder Terry Porter and his backwoods clan. Cue the dialogue subtitles! Here come scrapper Dirty Andy, blowtorch boy Danny Bob,
garbage man Elvis Larry, country calendar model Kayla, and a dadgum bear. In fact, Im not sure I even really know what a ridge is, but perhaps Ill nd out, as Porter battles his personal nemesis from over yonder at Dog Killer Ridge. Expect hair, beards, wrasslers, junkers and bears! (BTW, Duck Dynasty returns to A&E at 10 tonight.) Heroes of Cosplay (10:30 p.m. premiere, 10 p.m. thereafter, Syfy). Theyre not all Klingons anymore. When fanboys/ girls gather at convention centers these days, many jump into role-playing cosplay (short for costume play). Theyre cos-
tumed as wizards, warriors, empire queens, space creatures, anim/game characters, you name it. As they compete for prizes in this exploding world superstar-judge Yaya Han is a cosplay industry of her own (143,000 Facebook likes) Syfys show follows six serious players through their elaborate prep. Its like theyre dressed to impress for Fashion Week at the Star Wars bar green hair, thighhigh yellow boots, giant clay heads, wild weapons, power armor. But they arent after just the look. Theyre personifying a character. Fantasy? Reality? Whats the dif?

Daughters freeloading baby daddy has moved in and refuses to leave

Dear Abby: My 22-year-old daughter and her two young children live with me. She doesnt work, which is fine. I dont mind supporting her because Id rather have the kids see their mom. I spent most of my life as a single mom, working long hours and not seeing my kids. My work has finally paid off, and Im at a point where, while not rich, I can support my daughter and grandbabies. The problem is the baby daddy. He has a history of drug abuse, theft and jail time. He works only part-time jobs, which he loses monthly. I dont want to support him, but he has moved in and wont leave my
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE house. I have told him to go, that hes welcome to visit the kids, but he ignores me. Its like talking to a wall. He wont even acknowledge that I told him to leave. I pay all the bills. I told my daughter, and she ignores me as well. My oldest son has offered to talk to them for me. I dont want to lose my grandbabies. They are my purpose in life. Please help. Furious in Pennsylvania
Dear Furious: Part of your problem may be the degree to which you enable your daughter. You wont be around forever. She needs to learn to
be independent so she can support herself and those children. Clearly, Baby Daddy isnt man enough to be of any assistance. If he has lived with you for a while, you may need a lawyer to get him out. According to Los Angeles attorney Lee Dresie: You can get rid of the freeloader by giving him a 30-day notice to leave in writing. It should say, You have 30 days to leave my home. If you dont, I will bring an action to evict you. If he still refuses to go, consult an attorney who specializes in eviction law. This is Abby again: Be sure you have a witness present when the notice is given so Baby Daddy cant deny receiving it. Your son could be that witness, and yes, he should be asked to lead the discussion on how
to resolve this situation. It is also troubling that the daughter for whom you provide food and shelter is ignoring you. Youre treated this way because you dont assert yourself. Please do it before Baby Daddy impregnates her again and you have four people to support. Dear Abby: Im 27 and have an issue that has bothered me for most of my life. I have overly hot/sweaty hands and feet. When I was dating women, they wouldnt want to hold my hand, which bothered me a lot. Also, my friends make fun of me for it. I am entering a profession that will require lots of handshaking with potential clients. This will be an issue for me because I dont want to make a bad impression. Do you have any
suggestions? Sweaty in North Dakota Dear Sweaty: Yes! Talk with a dermatologist. There is a product that can curb the excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), but a doctor must prescribe it for you. Botox injections could also help, but they should be administered by a physician. There is also a machine used to treat this condition. The dermatologist can help you decide which solution would be the best for you.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUOTE
HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of relying on one vehicle for getting what you want, go for it in multiple ways. It wont be the aggressive methods that work; it will be the creative ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Persistence will pay, especially if what you are persistent about will benefit others. When it comes to communicating your intentions, three, four or even five calls are not too many. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). One with a strong and perhaps even intimidating presence will figure into todays business. Dont lower your profile in any way. Free the full force of your personality. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may find that people dont work hard enough for your attention or that they take you for granted because you make your offerings too accessible. Is there a way to make your gifts seem rare? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may be flattering to you when others imitate you, but because you never know how others are going to react to imitation, the best way will be to flatter others with sincere words. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are the person people talk to when they want to get the word out today no pressure. They see you as connected and maybe more connected than you actually are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is dangerous to seek ego gratification from the final result of your efforts. You cant control the response of the world. Let your whole body of work count in your own mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Children are not the only ones who get cranky when they are hungry or tired. Keep this in mind when people around you are less than congenial. Snacks on hand and a bit of peace could turn everything around. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Steer clear of controversy if at all possible. If your position makes this impossible, the phrase that might save you is: Well, this is one were not going to solve today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sitting with familiar bickering people who clearly are not getting along lately can be more cringe-inducing and uncomfortable than holding your feet to a fire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are some people you cant relate to no matter how many things you might have in common. Dont try. Move on to the next, the next, the next. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Promote yourself. Whether you do it directly or find a more creative approach doesnt matter now. Just put yourself out there. Youre so lucky today that even a failed effort is likely to result in a better prospect. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 14). Your confidence soars and takes your social status right along with it. In September, youll reevaluate life: clarifying the past and unlocking the future. October begins a serious study that will go on for years. November brings gains of personal property. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 7, 48 and 19.

If you would like to experiment with making ice cream, here are some recipes to get you started. QUICK AND EASY VANILLA ICE CREAM 2 cups heavy cream 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream, condensed milk and vanilla in a large bowl until thick, stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until rm, at least 8 hours and up to 2 weeks. Source: Womans Day DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE ICE CREAM 1 cups heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsweetened ultra Dutch-processed cocoa powder or another high-quality cocoa powder 1 cup dark chocolate ganache (recipe follows) 2 cups whole milk, divided cup granulated sugar teaspoon salt 4 large egg yolks teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup red raspberry sauce (recipe follows) In a medium saucepan, heat cream and cocoa powder over medium heat, whisking to ensure cocoa is fully absorbed. When cream bubbles around the edges, remove pan from heat and add dark chocolate ganache. Wait for 30 seconds and then stir until smooth and blended. Add 1 cup milk and stir to combine. Return saucepan to the stove and stir in remaining 1 cups milk, sugar and salt. Heat mixture over medium heat, keeping milk at a simmer; do not let it boil over the sides of the pan. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks together. Slowly drizzle about cup of warm milk into egg yolks, whisking constantly until combined. Pour egg yolks into the

From page 1C cream (as the recipe recommends) making bread? But I just had to try it. The bread is made by stirring together ice cream, sugar and self-rising our. Thats it. (Dont fret if you dont have selfrising our; you can make your own as noted in the recipe.) I tested it using two different ice creams: Southern Butter Pecan Crunch and Triple Brownie. Both were the deluxe versions of store brands, and both were on sale. I didnt want to waste $4 on a pint of premium ice cream when I could get nearly a half-gallon for $2.50. An Internet search turned up all sorts of comments and recipes that used a variety of ice creams. Some even added fruit, such as blueberries and bananas, to the bat-

ter, with good results. The rst thing you need to know: The ice cream needs to be softened so it mixes easily with the our. Scoop out what you need, place in a bowl and let it sit out a good 30 minutes. The rest is gravy: Mix the two with sugar, spoon the batter into a loaf pan sprayed with nonstick spray and then bake. Easy as pie. Although mine seemed to take longer to bake, the end results were ne. The bread tasted sweet. I expected the butter pecan bread to taste the best, but it had a oury taste. The triple brownie tasted much better. A coworker noted that one use for this bread would be to serve it with more ice cream. Tempting, isnt it? ICE CREAM BREAD Makes: 1 mini-loaf
(6 servings) Preparation time: 5 minutes Total time: 25 minutes plus cooling time Nonstick cooking spray 1 cup butter pecan ice cream or favorite ice cream, softened cup self-rising our (see cooks note) 1 tablespoon sugar Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a mini (5 -inchby-3-inch-by-2-inch) loaf pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the ice cream, our and sugar. Transfer to
the loaf pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Cooks note: As a substitute for self-rising our, place 1 teaspoon baking powder and teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose our to measure cup. From Taste of Home (www.tasteofhome.com).

saucepan and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent eggs from cooking. Cook until custard is thick enough to coat back of the spoon. Pour custard through a ne-mesh sieve or strainer into a bowl. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Cover surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate custard for at least four hours. Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions. Swirl in 1 cup of room temperature red raspberry sauce. It should marble through the ice cream. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and freeze at least 4 hours to harden. Remove ice cream from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften. DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE 1 cups water 2/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder teaspoon salt 1 pounds bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoons chocolate extract 1 cup red raspberry sauce (recipe follows) In a large, heavy saucepan, bring water, corn syrup, cocoa powder and salt to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Whisk until blended. Remove pan from heat. Immediately add bittersweet chocolate and chocolate extract to pan and whisk until smooth. Set aside for about 1 hour to cool completely, whisking every 15 minutes or so to keep the ganache emulsied. When cool, transfer ganache to a rigid plastic or glass container, cover, date, and refrigerate for up to three months. Makes about 2 pounds ganache.
RED RASPBERRY SAUCE 4 pounds frozen raspberries, thawed 3 cups granulated sugar 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest In a medium saucepan, bring raspberries and their juices, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest to a simmer over low heat until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching. Using an immersion blender, puree sauce for about 1 minute until smooth. Strain sauce through a ne-mesh sieve into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Use immediately or transfer to a tightly covered container and refrigerate for up to two weeks. The sauce will keep in freezer for up to two months. Stir sauce well before serving. Makes 4 cups.
