>> I’LL TAKE DEUTERONOMY FOR 400: And
thus it was, that in the year of our Lord 2012, a TV
exec at the Game Show Network doth created a show.
And he nameth that show “The American Bible Chal-
lenge,” and Lo! He set it forth to debut on Thursday at
8 in the post meridian. Then, the exec doth sought out
a comedian, and verily, Jeff Foxworthy was placeth as
host. And he saw that it was good.
>> PLANET POLITICS: It was in 1930 that Pluto
was given a seat at the big planets’ table. For 76 years
it got to sit in the front row at all the important plane-
tary functions. Life for the frozen ball of rock and gas
was good. Then, on Aug. 24, 2006, the International
Astronomical Union crushed Pluto’s dreams by de-
moting it to dwarf planet status -- the astronomical
equivalent of being reassigned to the mail room. To
note that occasion, this Friday is “Pluto Demoted
Day.” It’s a reminder that even planets can fall victim
to downsizing.
>> HMMMMM. KIELBASA: If you’ve got a
hankerin’ for a hunk of Eastern European sausage
(and who doesn’t?) then you are in luck. The
borough of Plymouth is holding its ninth annual
Kielbasa Festival this Friday and Saturday. Yes,
Plymouth is celebrating everyone’s favorite mix
of seasoned ground meat in casings with mu-
sic, entertainment, a car show, a parade and
lots and lots of the aforementioned delicacy.
>> BIG-TIME ACTS: There’s some serious
musical gravitas coming to Montage Mountain’s Toyota
Pavilion this Friday. All-time great bands Chicago and
The Doobie Brothers are headed there for a 7:30
p.m. show. How good are these guys? Chicago
has had five No. 1 albums, and three No. 1
singles. The Doobies have one No. 1 album to
their credit and have topped the charts twice.
That’s more than Slim Whitman, Boxcar
Willie AND Zamfir and his Pan flute
combined.
>> FAREWELL, YANKS: SWB
Yankee fans, this may very well be
your last opportunity ever to see the
Yankees without going out of state.
The next time they’ll be this close,
they’ll be called the Blasted Flies or
Trolley Porcupines or something like
that. The Yanks will be in Allentown
for a series beginning Saturday night
at 6:35 p.m., and again on Sunday at
1:35 p.m.

The former Dominic’s on the Lake res-
taurant at Harveys Lake is among 300
properties listed in Thursday’s back-tax
auction.
Bids for the restaurant will start at
$1,114.
It’s a free-and-clear sale, which means
back taxes, mortgages and other liens tied
to the properties are forgiven. The proper-
ties didn’t sell at previous first-stage auc-
tions when liens were still attached.
Most of the properties are listedat start-
ing bids under $1,000 to recoup only the
tax claim office costs to bring the parcels
to auction.
Dominic’s, owned by Casty Realty, is as-
sessed at $599,100 and has racked up
$40,300 in unpaid property taxes from
2008 through 2011.
The restaurant closed in September
2008 andwas previously namedDamien’s.
Dominic Castrignano, who has been iden-
tified as the owner, could not be reached
for comment.
He has said he spent close to $1 million
renovating the building, which had reo-
pened under his name in 2007. He has
blamed the restaurant’s downfall on the
sluggish economy and his inability to refi-
nance loans on the property.

OMAHA, Neb. — It’s hard to

gress.
Searing

his 100 cattle.
Then Con-

That means
it will be Sep-

Eggerling and
other ranchers can even hope for
disaster aid legislation that in-
cludes cash to buy feed until they
would normally send their cattle
to feedlots or slaughter in the fall
or winter. For some, it’s already
too late. Out of grass and out of
cash, they’ve sold their animals.

Nebraska farmer WASHINGTON — As mil-
lions of baby boomers flood So-
cial Security with applications
for benefits, the program’s $2.7
trillionsurplus is startingtolook
small.
For nearly three decades So-
cial Security produced big sur-
pluses, collecting more in taxes
fromworkers than it paid in ben-
efits to retirees, disabled work-
ers, spouses and children. The
surpluses also helped mask the
size of the budget deficit being
generated by the rest of the fed-
eral government.
Those days are over.
Since 2010, Social Security
has beenpaying out more inben-
efits thanit collects intaxes, add-
ing to the urgency for Congress
to address the program’s long-
term finances.
“To me, urgent doesn’t begin
to describe it,” said Chuck Bla-
hous, one of the public trustees
who oversee Social Security. “I
would say we’re somewhere be-
tweencritical andtoolatetodeal
with it.”
The Social Security trustees
project the surplus will be gone
in 2033. Unless Congress acts,
Social Security would only col-
lect enough tax revenue each
year to pay about 75 percent of
benefits, triggeringanautomatic
reduction.
Lawmakers from both politi-
cal parties say they want toavoid
such a dramatic benefit cut for
people who have retired and
might not have the means to
make up the lost income. Still,
that scenario is more than two
decades away, which is why
many in Congress are willing to
put off changes.

NANTICOKE – Mr. Jay fans
out the cards and asks you to
pick one. You watch it carefully
as he shuffles it back into the
pack.
Paying close attention to all of
the cards, you watch him shuffle
and cut them
several times.
He offers you
your card back.
Surprise! It’s
the wrong one.
Then you
look up at him
and find your
card held be-
tween his lips.
At this point,
you tend to for-
get this poised
magician is on-
ly 12 years old.
But Mr. Jay is
an old hand at
cards. He’s
been perform-
ing this and
other magic
tricks for three
years. Since
the age of 10,
Mr. Jay, whose
real name is
Jarred Kraft, has been a profes-
sional magician.
Jarred lives with his mother,
Stephanie, father, Fred, and
younger brother Frede, who is
10. The family has lived in Nanti-
coke since Jarred was 6 months
old.
Jarred and Frede both study
with the Agora Charter Cyber
School. The flexibility of taking
his classes online allows Jarred a
lot of freedom in scheduling his
appearances.
Jarred pinpointed the start of
his career.
“We were on a vacation at
Great Wolf Lodge in the Poco-
nos. There was a magician there.
I asked him how I could learn
more,” he said.
The magician invited them to
a local meeting of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Magi-
cians, or IBM. In spite of its
name, men, womenandchildren
as young as age 7 are welcomed
into the organization.
Jarred was nowhooked. Local
groups of IBMare called “rings.”
He is a member of IBM Ring 30,
whichmeets inPittston. He feels
that he gets a lot out of his mem-
bership.
“We teach each other magic
tricks. And we have lecturers,”
he said.
Membership in IBMis not like
union membership, but Jarred
does have to adhere to a code of
ethics, which includes a promise
not to divulge any tricks.
For now, Jarred is the young-
est in his ring. But he has taught
Frede a lot. At 10, Frede is a will-
ing assistant and he has learned
some tricks of his own. Jarred’s
repertoire includes card tricks,
rope tricks, coin tricks and illu-
sions. He has developed ad-
vanced skills in sleight of hand.
Sleight of hand is the set of
techniques usedbya magicianto
manipulate objects such as cards
and coins.
Jarred said illusions are usual-
ly performed on a stage and re-
quire bigger and more expensive
equipment. Jarred is beginning
to acquire more equipment for
stage magic. But he prefers the
work off of a stage.
“I’d prefer to be up close and
right up in front of you.”
Andhe likes to combine come-
dy and magic. Perfecting magic
tricks takes lots of time and hard
work; but, Jarred said, “I could
practice all day.”
The young magician is also in-
terested in learning sideshow
stunts. “Sideshow is not magic,”
he said. “It’s real.”
Although he’s too young to be-
gin learning their craft, he is fas-
cinatedby swordswallowers and
fire eaters.
Magic isn’t a hobby for Jarred.
It is his chosenprofession. When
asked where he wanted to be 10
years from now, he quickly said,
“In Vegas or on a Disney cruise.”
The Krafts fully support
Jarred’s career. His stay-at-home
mom manages his schedule and
oversees the boys’ schoolwork.
His dad is fascinated with the
magic.
“He likes it,” Jarred said. But
he added, “He had to get inter-
ested because I can’t drive to
meetings!”
As Mr. Jay, Jarredhas perform-
ed magic at parties, political
meet-and-greets, and often does
Pizza Bella customer apprecia-
tion days. He’s participated in
stage shows with fellow IBM
members.
He also appears frequently at
charity events, including Can-
certacular events. Cancertacular
is a Northeastern Pennsylvania
organization that raises money
for children with cancer.
Jarredwantedtodoafundrais-
er for Toys for Tots, and with the
help of his parents, organized a
magic show in Luzerne last No-
vember. The members of his ring
came out and performed a four-
hour show to generate cash and
toys for the U.S. Marine Corps
program. Marines in dress uni-
form helped collect donations.
He plans to do it again this year.
His mom said his earnings for
noware going back into his busi-
ness. But she said he is allowed
to keep tips.
“That’s his spending money,”
she said.
But Jarred was quick to add
that at charity events, even his
tips are donated to the cause.
Doing more magic is not
Jarred’s only dream. When he is
16 he plans to join the local vol-
unteer fire department. He will
represent the fourth generation
of volunteer firemen in his fam-
ily.

For others, time is rapidly run-
ning out as they try to hold on.
Their decisions will affect the
price and supply of meat for
months, perhaps years, to come.
“I’d like to see every one of the
senators andcongressmengoout
into one of these widespread,
drought-stricken areas and spend
a day,” said Eggerling, 44, of Mar-
tell, Neb. “Walk around and see
the effects of what’s going on.
Look at the local economies and
see what’s going to happen to
them. Then they can go back to
Washington with a real perspec-
tive and say, ‘Hey; we need to do
something.’ ”
Most farmers are having a hard
year with drought and unusually
warmtemperatures inthemiddle
of the country burning up every-
thing from corn to cabbage. But
ranchers are in a particularly pre-
carious position because most
don’t haveaccess tofederallysub-
sidized insurance programs that
cover crops like corn and soy-
beans.
Private companies won’t in-
sure grazing land because it’s too
hard to predict losses, and ranch-
ers say pilot programs tested by
the U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture are too expensive and pay
out little when there’s a loss, Ne-
braska Farm Service Agency di-
rector Dan Steinkruger said.
The White House announced
last week that the federal govern-
ment will buy up to $170 million
worth of pork and other meat for
foodassistance programs inanef-
fort to help drought-stricken
farmers. The Defense Depart-
ment also was expected to en-
courage its vendors to speed up
meat purchases in an effort to
prop up prices with a glut on the
market expected in the next few
months.
Feed prices soared amid the
drought, and livestock farmers
have been selling off animals for
months as they run out of money.
The meat is expected to hit gro-
cery stores this fall, with prices
dropping briefly and then rising
early next year. Meanwhile, farm-
ers are getting a fraction of what
their animals would normally be
worth at sales.
“It’s not like we can hold our
products —like setting a shirt on
a shelf until it sells for the price
weset,” saidKristenHassebrook,
a spokeswoman for the Nebraska
Cattlemen, a trade group. “We
can’t just tell that steer or heifer
to stop eating for a couple of days
until the market share goes up. If
wecan’t feedthat animal, wehave
to sell it for whatever the price is
that day.”
The Obama administration al-
so has offered low-interest emer-
gency loans, opened federal land
for grazing and distributed $30
million to get water to livestock.
Farmers say they’ll take what
help they can get, but emergency
loans come with a tangle of red
tape and aren’t available to every-
one. Water is appreciated, but
animals need to eat, and even
with grazing on some federal
land, hay is in short supply.
The House approved $383 mil-
lion in disaster relief earlier this
month, but Congress went home
before the Senate acted on the
bill. The Senate had previously
passed a disaster aid package as
part of a five-year farm bill, but
GOPleaders intheHouserefused
to bring that to a vote because
many Republicans object to the
nearly$80billionincludedfor the
food stamp program.
The standoff left ranchers un-
certain about what to do: Should
they buy expensive feed, assum-
ing the federal government will
ultimately help thempay the bill,
or shouldtheysell their cattle at a
loss, knowing they may find out
later they would have been eligi-
ble for aid?
“For Congress toput this off for
fiveweeks until theycomebackis
really, really difficult to under-
stand,” saidMichael Kelsey, exec-
utive vice president of Nebraska
Cattlemen.
With no grass for grazing, Eg-
gerling cut corn and soybeans
stunted by the drought to use as
cattle feed. But that will soon run
out, he said, and he’ll send ani-
mals he can’t feed to slaughter.
Because they haven’t reached
their full weight and he’s paid by
the pound, he’ll take a loss.
It’s not clear howmuch money
individual ranchers would re-
ceive even if Congress passed the
House bill upon members’ re-
turn. The estimated $383 million
disaster relief package would be
divvied up among eligible appli-
cants, and a number of factors
would be considered in deciding
awards. Some may get nothing.
Others could get tens of thou-
sands of dollars.
Eggerling said any aid will like-
ly come too late for him. If Con-
gress had passed a bill before the
break in early August, he could
have hastily made arrangements
to buy hay. Two weeks further in-
to the drought, it’s almost impos-
sibletofindfeedthat doesn’t have
to be shipped from several states
awayat exorbitant prices, hesaid.
For aid to matter now, Con-
gress also would have to open all
federal conservation land for
grazing or cutting hay and make
sure those selling hay fromfeder-
al land are doing it at cost, he
said.

LOS ANGELES – “The Expen-
dables 2” may have knocked out
the competition at the box office
this weekend, but it didn’t pack
as much of a punch as Hollywood
was expecting.
The sequel featuring a gang of
muscular -- if aging -- action stars
such as Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Wil-
lis opened with $28.8 million, ac-
cording to an estimate from dis-
tributor Lionsgate. That was
enough to handily beat the week-
end’s other debuts, including the
3-D animated “ParaNorman,”
which launched with a so-so $14
million. “Sparkle,” the inexpen-
sive musical that is Whitney
Houston’s last film, startedwitha
respectable$12million, whilethe
children’s movie“TheOddLifeof
Timothy Green” collecteda mod-
erate $10.9 millionover the week-
end.
Although “The Expendables
2” may have claimedthe No. 1po-
sition, it failed to meet industry
projections that had the movie
taking in about $40 million dur-
ing its opening weekend. The
film’s disappointing start also
falls short of the original’s $34.8
million debut in 2010 - and Lion-
sgate spent more for the sequel.
The studio paid producer Avi
Lerner’s Millennium Films just
under $20 million for rights to
distribute the original film in the
U.S. and the United Kingdombut
paid $35 million for the same
rights to the second movie.
The goodnews for Lionsgate is
that those who saw the film this
weekend enjoyed it. Opening-
weekend crowds assigned it an
average grade of A-minus, ac-
cording to market research firm
CinemaScore, indicating strong
word of mouth could help the
film reach the $103.1 million do-
mestic gross of the original mo-
vie.
The audience who saw the se-
quel this weekendwas 63 percent
male, and65percent of thecrowd
was over age 25 - a slightly older
demographic thanthe original at-
tracteddespitetheadditionof 22-
year-old Liam Hemsworth to the
new movie’s cast.
With fewhigh-profile movie re-
leases slated for the remainder of
August, the other three films that
hit theaters this weekend will al-
so be banking on strong ticket
sales in the weeks to come.

WEST PITTSTON
Library hosts kids’ mural
Though the West Pittston Library
suffered major damage as a result the
Susquehanna River flooding last Sep-
tember, the library is using the event as
a way to educate its young readers on
the natural cycle of flood and drought,
the rhythm of any river.
The organization will host the cre-
ation of a kids’ mural depicting a scene
along the Susquehanna as it is much of
the time, a peaceful stream flowing
past a quiet town.
Children from ages 7 to 11 are wel-
come to participate on Sept. 1, 8, and
15 from1 to 4 p.m. in the library at 200
Exeter Ave. to help create this piece of
art.
No special training or talent is re-
quired and all supplies will be provid-
ed. For more information, contact the
library at 654-9847.

County man is charged
State police said they charged a
Luzerne County man with making
terroristic threats and disorderly con-
duct after he blocked a Carbon County
highway with his truck and refused to
move it early Sunday morning.
Donald Brozoski, 50, of Drums, was
arraigned Sunday afternoon before
District Judge Joseph D. Homanko Sr.
and was being held in Carbon County
jail under $250,000 bail.
According to state police at Lehight-
on, troopers were called about 6 a.m.
Sunday for an individual, identified as
Brozoski, sitting in a pickup truck
parked across both lanes of Route 903
in Penn Forest Township, police said.
State police said Brozoski refused to
comply with the troopers’ commands
and threw several objects from his
truck.
Brozoski is also charged with block-
ing a highway, propulsion of missiles
onto a highway, making a bomb threat
and several summary offenses, accord-
ing to court records.

Luzerne County
Councilman Rick Wil-
liams asked county
Manager Robert Law-
ton if he will rely on
borrowed funds to
balance the 2013 bud-
get.
The practice has contributed to the
county’s more than $400 million debt
load. Williams had criticized council’s
2012 amended budget because it used
$1.4 million borrowed with interest for
capital projects to help repay debt.
“This is the last year we’ll do that?”
Williams asked Lawton during Tues-
day’s council meeting.
“You’re darn tootin’,” said Lawton,
who has become known for sprinkling
humor in his presentations and re-
sponses.
Lawton said he will spend capital
funding on projects that improve the
county’s productivity and efficiency.
The county can’t afford to spend bor-
rowed funds on municipal and commu-
nity projects, which has happened in
the past, he said.
“I’mnot going to be in the business of
borrowing money to give it away,” Law-
ton said.
Past county officials have portrayed
the multitude of earmarks to outside
entities as necessary quality-of-life and
economic development investments.
• Council members asked Lawton
about his progress consolidating rough-
ly 70 to 100 county bank accounts.
Lawton said the administration is de-
termining which accounts must remain
segregated and will seek a public re-
quest for county banking services to
maximize interest earnings.
The county had $21 million depos-
ited in one local bank, and the bank fees
exceeded interest receipts, he said.
• Lawton told county Councilman
Stephen A. Urban Tuesday the merger
of the civil and criminal records offices
will be implemented soon. The offices
are under the same division in the new
home rule government.

PITTSTON – When a hometown
guy wins the prize for best marinara
sauce at Pittston Tomato Festival, it’s
home cooking for sure.
Restaurateur Sam Marranca took
the trophy, beating six other restau-
rants in the Sauce Wars competition.
The recipe featured at his restaurant
Café Italia on River Road received the
most votes out of the 705 cast over the
four-day festival that ended Sunday
night. Voters paid a dollar to sample
the seven sauces and the proceeds
went to the Greater Pittston YMCA.
“It’s an old family recipe,” Marranca
said.
Tomatoes are in it but good luck get-
ting the other ingredients from him.
“It’s not for sale,” he said.
Marranca, 61, was surprised to get
the call telling him he won. He was ly-

NEWARK, N.J.
Second flight makes return
A
second United flight departing
Newark Liberty International Air-
port in the last two days has had to
return after an emergency.
The Federal Aviation Administration
says United Flight 409 bound for Seat-
tle returned to the airport at about 9:15
a.m. Sunday after reports of possible
smoke in the cabin and cockpit.
No injuries were reported.
The emergency landing was the
second in as many days at Newark. On
Saturday night, a United flight bound
for Germany had to return to the air-
port after experiencing engine prob-
lems.
On Sunday, the FAA said one of the
engines on the Berlin-bound flight
apparently overheated on takeoff. An
agency spokesman says that contrary
to published reports, the aircraft didn’t
blow a tire during takeoff.

New fire forces evacuations
Thousands of people have been told
to leave their homes as a wildfire burn-

rural communities in far Northern
California.
The fire that sparked around 11:30
a.m. Saturday has destroyed four
homes and consumed nearly 11 square
miles near the towns of Manton, Shin-
gleton, and Viola, fire spokesman Da-
niel Berlant said. About 3,500 homes
spread out across a rural area along the
border of Tehama and Shasta counties
are threatened, he said.
“A good majority are immediately
threatened and a good number are in
the path of the fire,” Berlant said Sun-
day. “We will be battling it hard today
to protect as many of those homes as
possible.”
The cause of the fire has not been
determined, but officials said it started
after a series of lightning strikes in the
area.

Rape but no pregnancy?
Rep. Todd Akin, Missouri’s GOP
Senate candidate, has questioned
whether women can become pregnant
when they’re raped.
Akin said in an interview with St.
Louis television station KTVI released
Sunday that pregnancy from rape is
“really rare.” A video of the interview is
posted on the station’s website.
Akin has said he opposes most abor-
tions, and said in the interview that if a
woman is raped, her body “has ways to
shut that whole thing down.”
Akin has served six terms and has
said he’s Missouri’s most conservative
congressman. He’s running against
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Smooth sailing for historic war ship
The USS Constitution is escorted by a
tugboat Sunday in Boston Harbor. The
early-19th-century heavy frigate, the
U.S. Navy’s oldest commissioned war

Sunday for the first time since 1997.
The sail was held to commemorate
the 200th anniversary of the victory

LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Ju-
lian Assange urged President Barack
Obama to end a so-called “witch hunt”
against his secret-spilling website, ap-
pearing in public Sunday for the first
time since he took refuge two months
ago inside Ecuador’s Embassy in Lon-
don to avoid extradition to Sweden on
sex crimes allegations.
The 41-year-old Australian, who has
fought for two years against efforts to
send him to Sweden for questioning
over alleged sexual misconduct against
two women, addressed several hundred
supporters and reporters as he spoke
from the small balcony of Ecuador’s
mission, watched by dozens of British
police.
Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa on
Thursday granted Assange asylum and
he remains out of reach of British au-
thorities while he is inside the country’s
embassy. Britain insists that if he steps
outside, he will be detained and sent to
Sweden, as by lawit must meet the obli-
gations of a European arrest warrant.
Praising Correa, Assange said “a cou-
rageous Latin American nation took a
stand for justice,” in offering him sanc-
tuary, but did not refer to the Swedish
allegations against him. Instead, he at-
tempted to shift attention to what he
claims are preparations in the U.S. to
punish him for the publication by Wiki-
Leaks of a trove of American diplomatic
and military secrets — including
250,000 U.S. Embassy cables that high-
light sometimes embarrassing back-
room dealings.
Assange and his supporters claimthe
Swedish case is merely the opening
gambit in a Washington-orchestrated
plot to make him stand trial in the U.S.
—somethingdisputedby bothSwedish
authorities and the women involved.
“I ask President Obama to do the
right thing. The United States must re-
nounce its witch hunt against Wiki-
Leaks,” Assange said, speaking from a
first-floor balcony decorated with an
Ecuadorean flag, standing just yards
away from British police officers.
“The United States must dissolve its
FBI investigation. The United States
must vow that it will not seek to prose-
cute our staff or our supporters,” he
said, wearinga formal blue shirt andred
tie.

WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Presi-
dent Barack Obama and Repub-
lican challenger Mitt Romney
spent a quiet Sunday attending
church with their families, rest-
ing up for the campaign’s final
11 weeks and the approaching
party nominating conventions.
While the Romneys enjoyed
beautiful sunshine in New
Hampshire,
and the Oba-
mas endured
rain in Wash-
ington, both
men sent top
advisers to the
Sunday talk
shows. These
surrogates
sparred main-
ly over Medi-
care and taxes,
just as the can-
didates them-
selves have
done for days.
Obama and
Romney plunge back into heavy
campaigning and fundraising
this week. Targeted states in-
clude Ohio, Nevada and New
Hampshire.
The debate’s dominant topic
remains how to tame Medi-
care’s explosive growth without
hurting the millions of elderly
Americans, and future retirees,
who count on it to pay for
health care.
TV interviewers pressed
Romney aides to explain how
the GOP ticket can restore a
proposed $716 billion cut in
Medicare spending’s growth
over 10 years without worsen-
ing the program’s projected
shortfall in funding. Moderators
also noted that Romney’s run-
ning mate, House Budget Com-
mittee Chairman Paul Ryan of
Wisconsin, originally joined
Obama in backing the proposed
$716 billion, 10-year reduction.
Romney adviser Eric Fehrn-
strom told CNN’s “State of the
Union” that Ryan and Romney
are now in accord. The $716 bil-
lion can safely remain in the
program, he said, because Rom-
ney will “introduce choice and
competition through more pri-
vate plans.”
Romney also would trim ben-
efits for wealthier people and
gradually raise the eligibility
age. None of his proposed
changes would affect Americans
now 55 or older.
Obama aide Stephanie Cut-
ter, also on CNN, said Romney’s
plan to keep the $716 billion in
Medicare over 10 years would
do nothing to shore up the pro-
gram.

more than 40 people cast a pall over holi-
day prayers in the town of Azaz near the
Turkish border. Only about 100 men
showed up to pray in the Hadideen
mosque with its salmon-colored minaret
bearing the scars of a shell blast.
Residents said many families fled the
town after the strike. Others packed up
ALEPPO, Syria — A brief lull in fight-
ing for a Muslimholiday Sunday allowed
residents of Aleppo to take stock of their
losses after three weeks of intense battles
left many in Syria’s largest city strapped
for cash, separated from loved ones and
scared of more violence ahead.
In the capital Damascus, President
Bashar Assad prayed at a mosque in his
first appearance inpublic since a bombat-
tack killed four of his top security advis-
ers on July 18.
Thousands across the country
marched against Assad in mosques and
cemeteries after special dawn prayers
marking the start of the three-day Eid al-
Fitr holiday, which caps the holy month
of Ramadan. The holiday —usually a joy-
ful time to remember the dead, dress up
in new clothes and visit family — fol-
lowed a particularly bloody Ramadan
when fighting erupted in Syria’s two
largest cities, bringing large civilian pop-
ulations under fire and causing a spike in
the death toll.
“There is no holiday,” saidMohammed
Radwan, 34, standing near an apartment
building in Aleppo’s Tariq al-Bab neigh-
borhood, whichwas hit byanairstrikethe
day before. “The electricity comes and
goes, thejets fireonus andnoonehas any
work. All we’ll do today is clean up the
rocks and rubble.”
Nearby, a group of men coated in gray
cement dust searched the wreckage of
the strike for the bodies of two young
girls, aged 2 and 14.
The fighting in Aleppo has marked the
first time that Assad has relied heavily on
air power to bomb and strafe rebel forces
who have grown adept at challenging
ground troops. The poorly armed opposi-
tion fighters are largely helpless against
near-daily airstrikes by attack helicopters
and fighter jets, and the attacks often kill
or terrify civilians. As many as 200,000
have fled Aleppo, either to nearby villag-
es or to refugee camps in Turkey.
But after three weeks of battle, the gov-
ernment has still not managed to defeat
the rebels — a sign of the regime’s loos-
ening grip on the country.
An airstrike on Wednesday that killed
blankets and mats to camp out in the ol-
ive groves around town, fearing another
attack on the holiday.
“We should all be wearing new clothes
and be freshly groomed, but look at us,”
said Abdullah Sayid, pointing to his own
stubbly chin and the glum faces of the
men around him. “Nobody feels like it.”

HAVANA — Endurance athlete Diana
Nyad forged ahead through the Straits of
Florida with renewed vigor Sunday in
pursuit of a record 103-mile unassisted
open-water swim without the aid of a
shark cage.
The 62-year-old Los Angeles woman
was said to be comfortable, confident
and steady at around 50 strokes per min-
ute after a harrowing night of painful jel-
lyfish encounters — despite a new-and-
improved bodysuit she hoped would of-
fer better protection.
Nyad was stung four times during the
night on the neck, lips, hand and fore-
head, according to members of her 50-
member crew who updated fans through
social media.
“Today is more like swimming,” one
member quoted her as saying, via Twit-
ter. “I don’t know what you would call
last night ... probably surviving.”
At 18 hours into the swim, she had
traveled 21.7 miles fromHavana. Choppy
seas were calmer, and her team reported
only a light wind.
Nyad had planned to don the bodysuit,
which covers her fromhead to toe except
for holes for the eyes, nose and mouth, at
night, when jellyfish tend to rise to the
surface. But it apparently did not work as
well as anticipated.
At least two of the stings were fromthe
dangerous box jellyfish, which forced her
to cut short her second of two attempts
last year as toxins built up in her system.
At one point, with jellyfish particles ev-
erywhere in the water, Nyad changed
strokes to keep her face out of harm’s
way.
“There are so many jellyfish,” said an-
other tweet. “Diana is swimming back-
stroke right now leading with the cap-
covered part of her head to minimize
contact.”

But once the surplus is spent,
the annual funding gaps start off
big and grow fast, which could
make them hard to rein in if
Congress procrastinates.
The projected shortfall in
2033 is $623 billion, according
to the trustees’ latest report. It
reaches $1 trillion in 2045 and
nearly $7 trillion in 2086, the
end of a 75-year period used by
Social Security’s number
crunchers because it covers the
retirement years of just about
everyone working today.
Add up 75 years’ worth of
shortfalls and you get an aston-
ishing figure: $134 trillion. Ad-
justed for inflation, that’s $30.5
trillion in 2012 dollars, or eight
times the size of this year’s en-
tire federal budget.
In present value terms, the
Social Security Administration
says the shortfall is $8.6 trillion.
That means the agency would
need to invest $8.6 trillion to-
day, and have it pay returns of
2.9 percent above inflation for
the next 75 years, to produce
enough money to cover the
shortfall.
That’s the rate of return So-
cial Security expects to get from
its trust funds. The problem, of
course, is that Social Security
doesn’t have an extra $8.6 tril-
lion to invest.
Program chief frustrated
Social Security Commissioner
Michael J. Astrue said he is frus-
trated that little has been done
to solve a problem that is only
going to get harder to fix as
2033 approaches. If changes are
done soon, they can be spread
out over time, perhaps sparing
current retirees while giving
workers time to increase their
savings.
“It won’t be easy but it’s just
going to get harder the longer
they wait,” Astrue said.
There is no consensus in
Washington on how pressing
the problem is.
President Barack Obama cre-
ated a deficit-reduction commis-
sion in 2010 but didn’t embrace
its plan for Social Security: rais-
ing the retirement age, reducing
benefits for medium- and high-
income workers and raising the
cap on the amount of wages
subject to the payroll tax, all ve-
ry gradually.
The issue has been largely ab-
sent from this year’s presidential
election. Neither Obama nor his
Republican opponent, Mitt
Romney, has made it a signif-
icant part of the campaign.
Blahous, a Republican, warns
that the magnitude of the prob-
lem is becoming so great that
“Social Security’s days as a self-
financing program are num-
bered” if Congress doesn’t act in
the next few years. Democrat
Robert Reischauer, Social Secu-
rity’s other public trustee, is less
dire in his predictions but has
told Congress that it needs to
act within five years.
Others express less urgency.
“I would like to see Congress
move on this tomorrow, but we
do have 22 years before there is
any cut in Social Security bene-
fits,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a
liberal independent from Ver-
mont who heads the Senate So-
cial Security caucus. “Compared
to other crises — the collapse of
the middle class, real wages fall-
ing for American workers, 50
million people having no health
insurance — how would I rate
the Social Security situation?
Nowhere near as serious as
these and many other prob-
lems.”
AARP, the nation’s most pow-
erful lobbying group for older
Americans, agrees.
“I’m not suggesting we need
to wait 20 years, but we do have
time to make changes to Social
Security so that we can pay the
benefits we promised,” said Da-
vid Certner, AARP’s legislative
policy director. “Let’s face it.
Relative to a lot of other things
right now, Social Security is in
pretty good shape.”
How it’s paid for; what we
get
Social Security is financed by
a 12.4 percent tax on wages.
Workers pay half and their em-
ployers pay the other half. Self-
employed workers pay the full
amount.
The tax is applied to the first
$110,100 of a worker’s wages, a
cap that rises each year with
inflation. For 2011 and 2012, the
tax rate for employees was re-
duced to 4.2 percent but is
scheduled to return to 6.2 per-
cent in January.
Social Security’s finances are
being hit by a wave of demo-
graphics as aging baby boomers
reach retirement, leaving rela-
tively fewer workers behind to
pay into the system. In 1960,
there were 4.9 workers paying
Social Security taxes for each
person getting benefits. Today,
there are about 2.8 workers for
each beneficiary, a ratio that
will drop to 1.9 workers by
2035, according to projections
by the Congressional Budget Of-
fice.
About 56 million people col-
lect Social Security benefits,
and that is projected to grow to
91 million in 2035. Monthly ben-
efits average $1,235 for retired
workers and $1,111 for disabled
workers.
Marge Youngs, a 77-year-old
widow from Toledo, Ohio, said
Social Security makes up most
of her income. She’s reasonably
sure that Social Security’s finan-
cial problems won’t affect her
benefits but worries about her
children and grandchildren.
“We might not have to worry
about it, but it’s the next gener-
ation coming up that will,”
Youngs said.
Corryn Grace Freeman, 22, a
recent college graduate from
Columbia, Md., said she under-
stands the federal government
must address its growing bud-
get problems but worries that
her generation will be “penal-
ized” for being born late.
“It’s like we’re paying for the
current elderly, we have to save
more for ourselves, and we
don’t get any help in the future,”
Freeman said. “And not to men-
tion we’re facing one of the
toughest job markets that the
U.S. has been faced with.”

Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said he is frus-
trated that little has been done to solve a problem that is only
going to get harder to fix as 2033 approaches.
WASHINGTON — Demo-
crats are eagerly renewing their
fight against privatizing Social
Security now that Republican
presidential candidate Mitt
Romney has picked Paul Ryan
as his running mate. It was a
fight that didn’t go well for the
GOP when President George W.
Bush pushed the idea in 2005.
In his 2010 “Road Map for
America’s Future,” the Wiscon-
sin congressman proposed a
plan to allow younger workers
to divert more than one-third of
their Social Security taxes into
personal accounts that they
would own and could will to
their heirs.
Ryan wrote that the accounts
would provide workers an op-
portunity “to build a significant
nest egg for retirement that far
exceeds what the current pro-
gram can provide.” Workers 55
and older would stay in the cur-
rent system.
Romney hasn’t embraced the
proposal, and Ryan, chairman of
the House Budget Committee,
didn’t include it in either of the
federal budgets passed by
House Republicans the past two
years. But now that Ryan is run-
ning for vice president, Demo-
crats hope to capitalize on the
issue.
Bush’s proposal for private ac-
counts received a chilly recep-
tion from members in both par-
ties in Congress, though Ryan
embraced it. Democrats used
the issue against GOP congres-
sional candidates in the 2006
election, when they regained
control of the House and Sen-
ate.
“The very last thing we ought
to be doing is putting at risk
the retirement security of mil-
lions of America’s seniors,” said
Rep. Debbie Wasserman
Schultz of Florida, who heads
the Democratic National Com-
mittee.
Until now, Social Security
had been largely absent from
the presidential campaign. Pres-
ident Barack Obama has yet to
lay out a detailed plan for ad-
dressing the issue, and his si-
lence is drawing criticism from
advocates who supported him
in the past. Romney has been
more forthcoming with propos-
als, but Social Security has not
been a big part of his campaign,
either.
Romney, in his book, “No
Apology,” said he liked the idea
of personal accounts. But, he
wrote, “Given the volatility of
investment values that we have
just experienced, I would prefer
that individual accounts were
added to Social Security, not di-
verted from it, and that they
were voluntary.”
Romney’s current plan for So-
cial Security doesn’t mention
personal accounts. Instead, he
proposes a gradual increase in
the retirement age to account
for growing life expectancy. For
future generations, Romney
would slow the growth of bene-
fits “for those with higher in-
comes.”
Romney says tax increases
should be off the table, and cur-
rent beneficiaries and those
near retirement should be
spared from cuts.
“Mitt Romney and Paul sup-
port gradual reforms to Social
Security that protect current
beneficiaries from any benefit
disruptions while strengthening
the program to ensure that it
doesn’t go bankrupt,” Romney
campaign spokesman Ryan Wil-
liams said.
The trustees who oversee So-
cial Security say the trust funds
that support the program will
run dry in 2033. At that point,
Social Security will generate on-
ly enough tax revenue to pay
about 75 percent of benefits,
triggering automatic cuts unless
Congress acts.
During the 2008 campaign,
Obama said he wanted to im-
prove Social Security’s finances
by applying the payroll tax to
annual wages above $250,000. It
is now limited to wages below
$110,100, a level that increases
with inflation.
Obama also pledged to op-
pose raising the retirement age
or reducing annual cost-of-living
adjustments, or COLAs. “Let
me be clear, I will not do ei-
ther,” Obama said at the time.
Last year, however, Obama
put on the table a proposal to
reduce annual COLAs during
deficit-reduction talks with
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio. The talks ultimately
failed and nothing came of the
proposal, but it raised questions
about whether Obama would
honor his 2008 pledge.
“A national politician would
do well to strongly identify
themselves with Social Security,
not just with rhetoric, but to be
very clear that they understand
the pain people are experienc-
ing today, that they stand be-
hind this program and they will
protect the citizenry and they
will not cut benefits,” said Eric
Kingson, a Syracuse University
professor who co-founded So-
cial Security Works. “I hope to
hear that from the White
House. I have not heard that
yet.”
Obama offered some princi-
ples to strengthen Social Securi-
ty in his 2011 State of the Union
address.
“We must do it without put-
ting at risk current retirees, the
most vulnerable or people with
disabilities, without slashing
benefits for future generations
and without subjecting Amer-
icans’ guaranteed retirement in-
come to the whims of the stock
market,” Obama said in the
speech.
Last week, Vice President Joe
Biden made a more sweeping
guarantee during a campaign
swing in southern Virginia, tell-
ing a customer at a diner that
Social Security will not be
changed.
“I guarantee you, flat guaran-
tee you, there will be no chang-
es in Social Security,” Biden
told the customer, according to
a White House pool report. “I
flat guarantee you.”
A Biden adviser said later the
vice president was merely reas-
suring the woman that her ben-
efits would not be changed. The
adviser spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak publicly
about the issue.
Obama campaign spokesman
Adam Fetcher said the presi-
dent “has put forward a set of
principles to guide bipartisan
action to strengthen it for fu-
ture generations. Rather than
laying the groundwork for a bi-
partisan approach as the presi-
dent has done, Mitt Romney’s
only solution would mean deep
benefit cuts for future retirees.
His running mate, Paul Ryan
was an architect of privatiza-
tion.”
Romney’s campaign chided
Obama’s inaction.
“His failure to lead on entitle-
ments has put the future of So-
cial Security at risk,” said Wil-
liams, the Romney spokesman.
“Mitt Romney is committed to
ensuring that Social Security is
there for future generations and
he has a comprehensive plan to
save Social Security with com-
monsense reforms.”

SALINAS, Calif. —ANorthern
California produce supplier said
Sunday it is voluntarily recalling
romaine lettuce that was shipped
to19 states, PuertoRicoandCan-
ada over fears about possible E.
coli contamination.
Salinas-based Tanimura & An-
tle said the recall is limited to a
single lot of its Field Fresh Wrap-
ped Single Head Romaine that
was availableat retail stores start-
ing Aug. 2.
The lettuce is packed in a plas-
tic bag with the UPC number 0-
27918-20314-9, and it may have a

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- The re-
ward for finding the killer of
Philadelphia police officer Mos-
es Walker Jr. rose Sunday to
$35,000, city and police officials
said.
The money for information
leading to the arrest and convic-
tion was initially announced
Saturday at $30,000.
Investigators say they contin-
ue to have few leads in the
death of Walker, who was
gunned down Saturday morning
as he was walking to a bus stop
after his shift at the 22nd Police
District headquarters.
Robbery is believed the pri-
mary motive in the killing, po-
lice spokeswoman Tanya Little
said this afternoon.
Another police spokesman,
Lt. Raymond Evers, said earlier
in the day, that police were
working with the family to de-
termine if anything was missing
from Walker’s backpack and
wallet, which were recovered at
the scene of the killing.
On Saturday, Police Commis-
sioner Charles H. Ramsey an-
nounced a $20,000 police re-
ward for the arrest and convic-
tion, as well as an additional
$10,000 that was being offered
by the Fraternal Order of Police
Lodge 5.
The FOP reward was in-
creased today to $15,000 for the
arrest of the suspect, Little said
in a statement this morning.
The increase comes as police
say the investigation has turned
up little information.
“We don’t have much at all.
Our homicide investigators are
really pressing to try to get
some information, and leads,
some evidence to see who this
person is. Nothing as of yet,”
said Evers.
“They are putting everything
they have into it, but nothing
has come in that is going to
lead them to an arrest.”
Police said they haven’t ruled
out whether more than one per-
son was involved in the slaying.
Walker was in civilian
clothes, walking west on Cecil
B. Moore Avenue between 20th
and 21st Streets when he was
shot multiple times just before
6 o’clock Saturday morning.
He was believed to be walk-
ing to catch a bus on his way
home after completing his shift
at 22nd Police District head-
quarters.
He was apparently able to un-
holster his gun, which was
found under his body at the
scene. However, investigators
do not believe he fired his
weapon, Evers said.
The $20,000 reward for infor-
mation in homicide cases is a
new initiative for Philadelphia,
announced in January.
The reward, now offered as
standard practice in all homi-
cide cases, was hailed as “a
game-changer” by Mayor Nut-
ter at the time of its announce-
ment.
Police continue to search for
witnesses and informants in the
investigation, and ask anyone
with information to call 215-
686-3334.
Tips can also be sent anony-
mously through the www.philly-
police.com website.
“We’re working with investi-
gators, law enforcement officers
in the area,” Evers said. “We’re
going to put as much time and
effort as needed to bring this
job in.”
Reward increased in cop-killer case
Off-duty Philly cop was shot
down on the way to a bus
stop. Reward now $35,000.

Editorial
“We’ll definitely take him up on
it.”
Gabby Douglas
The gold medal-winning gymnast confirmed that she
and fellow U.S. Olympian Jordyn Wieber, who have
been on a whirlwind tour since the Summer Games
in London, intend to visit the White House, as per President Obama’s
recent invitation.
FORTY THOUSAND. It’s a
big number.
Yet 40,000 is the number
of people who were helped
or supported in some fash-
ion by your donations to
the United Way of Wyoming
Valley last year. This means one out of every
seven of us who lives in the Wyoming Valley
is being touched by the kindness and gene-
rosity of those who support the United Way.
While it is unfortunate that such need
exists in our community, it is not surprising.
The economic climate, an unemployment
rate that is higher than the state and nation-
al averages, financial crises at every level of
the public sector and last year’s flooding
impacted many of us. We all know family
members, friends, neighbors and co-workers
who might have needed help. Sadly, equally
large numbers continue to need help.
I have been at the United Way for seven
months and my first campaign as a profes-
sional is upon me. In preparation, I have met
with hundreds of donors, volunteers, part-
ners and service recipients since January. I
have done a lot of listening and heard sto-
ries of why so many people contribute their
time and resources, or what help is still
needed and what challenges individuals,
families and children still face.
Even though I still have a lot to learn, my
appreciation for the critical and difficult
work of the United Way continues to grow.
The conviction we have for a better Wyom-
ing Valley is stronger than ever.
Among our many dreams, we envision a
community in which every child enters
school ready to learn and where the elderly
can age with dignity and have the support
they need in their golden years.
We imagine a time when vulnerable indi-
viduals are no longer in the desperate grip
of homelessness or addiction and when all
families can earn a sustainable income so
that all have access to affordable housing,
health care and good nutrition.
We are hopeful that the lines to the soup
kitchen or other social services will be
shorter in the future and that today’s gener-
ation of children will have an even greater
opportunity to succeed as they travel life’s
journey.
None of us can eliminate the barriers to a
better tomorrow or battle social problems
alone. The origin of the United Way system
dates back 125 years when leaders got to-
gether to involve the whole community in
solving the most pressing problems of the
day. Much has changed since then, but the
emphasis on community and the goal of
being united are the ideals we still continue
to value and strive toward.
As we work to fulfill the meaningful mis-
sion of the United Way, we do so with effi-
ciency and effectiveness. It would not be
possible for all 25 of the agencies funded
last year to raise on their own what they
receive annually from the United Way proc-
ess. The United Way of Wyoming Valley
works hard to keep costs of fundraising as
low as possible and, above all else, we en-
sure donated dollars are used as intended.
Agencies that receive funding are well-
screened and accountable to the outcomes
leading to improved conditions for those
who are served.
Our community needs a strong and well-
supported United Way. This year, we hope
more donors are inspired to help their
neighbors and others in need by investing in
the work of the United Way. Some 40,000
people continue to need help and will be
grateful for your support.

N
OW THAT THE gov-
ernment of Egypt is
no longer under mil-
itary supervision,
President Mohamed Morsi
ought to reinstate that coun-
try’s parliament and clearly af-
firmhis will to uphold civil lib-
erties.
After Hosni Mubarak, the
former president, was induced
to resign in February 2011, the
Supreme Council of the Armed
Forces ruled as a junta – if a
comparatively benign one.
When Morsi took office as
president, the council passed
to him the headship of state
that it had appropriated in
2011, but not before issuing a
“constitutional declaration”
limiting the president’s pow-
ers. It also dissolved parlia-
ment, following a court order.
Now, the president has
asked for and received the re-
signations of Field Marshal
Hussein Tantawi, the former
chair of the SCAF who until re-
cently had also been the de-
fense minister for 21years, and
Sami Anan, the chief of staff of
the army. Moreover, Morsi is-
sued his own constitutional
declaration, largely reversing
the previous one, thus depriv-
ing the SCAF of its remaining
aura of political authority.
Prudently, Morsi has pro-
moted officers who are very
much part of the military es-
tablishment, some of whom
are known to be on good terms
with the United States mili-
tary.
The civilian presidency is
goodprogress, 60longyears af-
ter the Free Officers’ Move-
ment coup d’état. But the pre-
sent state of affairs offers very
little to counterbalance Morsi
and the influence of the Mus-
lim Brotherhood. Egypt needs
a provisional parliament.

F
RENCH PRESIDENT
François Hollande, still
no doubt ruing his gibe
about Britain rolling
out the red carpet for France to
take home Olympic medals, cel-
ebrated his 100th day as presi-
dent recently at his official holi-
day residence, on the French
Riviera.
The milestone was marked
rather more violently in Amiens
with overnight riots that left 16
police officers injured. With re-
cord unemployment, particular-
ly among the young, a torpid
economy and a level of public
debt that ministers describe as
“crushing,” such upheavals
might become more frequent.
Against this backdrop, how
does Hollande make good his
campaign promise to be Eu-
rope’s anti-austerity flag-waver?
The answer is that he doesn’t.
Next month, reality kicks in
when he has to assemble the
kind of austerity package he
campaigned so hard against.
The Cour des Comptes, France’s
independent national auditor,
has set out the scale of the task.
Thegovernment must findupto
12 billion euros in cuts this year
and a further 33 billion next to
meet the deficit reduction tar-
gets Hollande has signed up to.
With his poll ratings already
on the slide, Hollande is quickly
learning the price of making
recklesscampaignpromisesthat
he knew could not be delivered.

HE PACKAGE OF ec-
onomic agreements
signed by China and
the Democratic Peo-
ple’s Republic of Korea (North
Korea) marks the solid pro-
gress that has been made in bi-
lateral trade and investment
cooperation.
They will not only help
boost the DPRK’s battered
economy. More importantly,
they will contribute to the
overall stability of the Korean
Peninsula.
The agreements, whichhave
been reached at a time when
China is suffering as a result of
the current global economic
difficulties, are testimony to
China’s consistent commit-
ment to helping the DPRK de-
velopits economyandimprove
the well-being of its people.
The growing trade links will
provide the DPRK with the
commodities and equipment
necessary to feed its people
and improve the productivity
of its industry.
But what couldbeevenmore
valuable is that such coopera-
tion will enable China to offer
the DPRK its expertise in ma-
naging a transitional economy.
China has made remarkable
achievements in shaking off
poverty and finding a develop-
ment path that best suits its
conditions, and the DPRK
could benefit tremendously
from China’s experience.

Writer urges opposition
of compressor station
I
don’t reside in West Wyoming and,
because of that, the Luzerne County
Zoning Hearing Board counts me as a
“citizen without standing” in the hearing
of the UGI natural gas compressor station.
However, I’d like to remind everyone who
lives anywhere in the Wyoming Valley that
the toxins produced by the proposed com-
pressor stations don’t know where West
Wyoming ends and Dallas, Kingston,
Swoyersville or any of our communities
begins.
The engines, tanks and associated equip-
ment have the potential to emit many tons
of hazardous pollutants into the air each
year. Some of these pollutants have been
linked with respiratory diseases, neurolog-
ical issues and cancer.
Air currents potentially will move these
poisons from the compressor station to our
homes, businesses, communities. Our
children and seniors are at even higher risk
of health impacts from breathing these
hazardous pollutants.
We don’t want to go back to an era of
poor air quality in the Valley. We need to
demand better of our decision-makers or
let them know we will replace them with
others who will stand up for our health,
safety and welfare.
If you care about your health, the health
of your children and all of the Wyoming
Valley, please get involved in opposing the
natural gas compressor station in West
Wyoming – no matter where you live. For
more information about this proposed
compressor station, visit www.luzerne-

Reader has bad feeling
about Romney’s bid
I
am a senior citizen and very concerned
about Mitt Romney as my president. He
only tells and shows us what he wants. I
want to know everything about Romney
before I can even think about voting for
him.
By not showing more of his income tax
returns, I have come to the conclusion that
he either didn’t pay taxes or he is hiding
something.
My concerns: Romney has a lot of big-
business donors to repay for his election.
How many people will be out of work
because their jobs will be sent overseas?
How many workers will have their wages
cut? Will our seniors’ benefits be reduced
or taken away, as Romney said he is going
to reform Social Security?
I have a bad feeling about him. I am a
swing voter; I vote for the person I feel is
best for my family and me. This election, I
feel Romney is a bad choice.

“It’s like stepping back in

Part of the old-style charm of
the fourth-annual Greater Pitt-
ston Charity Train Ride is the
chance to ride in 1920s-era train
cars, pulled by a diesel locomo-
tive.
“It’s very relaxing,” said Gloria
Blandina, one of the organizers,
who expects 450 people will sign
up for the trip.
While they’re in Jim Thorpe,
she said, passengers might opt
for a ride on rented bicycles (a
fewmiles pedaling, and they’d be
back in the gorge), or simply ex-
plore the town on foot.
The Harry Packer Mansion,
which boasts a fascinating old
player piano and many antiques,
and the former Carbon County
Jail, rumored to be haunted, are
both scheduled to be open for
tours that day.
The train excursion costs $65,
andproceeds will benefit the Pitt-
ston Memorial Library, the Grea-
ter Pittston YMCA and the Care
and Concern Free Health Clinic,
which operates out of the former
Seton Catholic High School.
The need for the charities “has
really mushroomed,” said Dr.
John Callahan, who tends pa-
tients every Wednesday evening
at the free clinic. Infour years, op-
erating just one night a week, he
said, “We’ve seen over 5,000 pa-
tients.”
Admitting he’s a train buff,
Callahan said he has found past
excursions to Jim Thorpe de-
lightful.
“People knew the train was
coming,” he said, “and they’d
come out andwave as it went by.”

county Emergency Manage-
ment Agency building on Water
Street in Wilkes-Barre, with the
tax collector debate slated for
the agenda.
Under home rule, county
council has the option to stop
using 69 elected tax collectors
to collect county property taxes
or keep them at the same or less
pay, officials say.
The tax collectors receive
$3.50 per bill and cost the coun-
ty about $400,000 annually, re-
cords show.
Council must make a decision
by the end of the year because
tax collector seats will be on the
2013 election ballot.
• The county’s Accountabili-
ty, Conduct and Ethics Commis-
sion will meet at 4:30 tonight in

first floor of the county cour-
thouse in Wilkes-Barre. The
commission will vote on several
pending ethics complaints, the
agenda says.
The commission also will
seek an update on the number of
employees who have signed an
agreement to abide by the ethics
code. Friday is the deadline for
signatures.
Some union employees have
held off signing the agreement
because of concerns the word-
ing may contradict union con-
tracts.
• A council committee will
meet at 6 tonight, also in the
council meeting room, to dis-
cuss the proposed county man-

Griffith said he spoke out be-

to continue to do so,” she said.
“We hope to do that here.”
The Suzuki School for
Strings was started by Jean’s
mother, Lillian Supplee, in
1985.
“She put her blood, sweat
and tears into this place, and
among a lot of opposition to the
Suzuki method,” Jule Supplee,
Lillian’s daughter and violin
teacher at the school, said.
The Suzuki method was con-
ceived by Japanese violinist
Shin’ichi Suzuki.
“It’s based on the ‘mother
tongue’ approach,” Supplee
said, “that the way a child
learns to speak its mother
tongue is also how they learn to
play an instrument. It’s all
about sound, hearing it. The
parent speaks to the child and
repeats words over and over; a
child listens to a recording and
they imitate what they hear.”
One major misconception
about the Suzuki method, Peter
said, is that many believe stu-
dents don’t read music.
“When children learn to
speak they don’t write the let-
ters first,” Jean said. “They hear
the sound and write the letter,
which becomes a symbol for the
words they’re speaking. Written
music becomes the symbol.”
“We introduce reading sepa-
rately from the playing,” Sup-
plee said. “They use flash cards,
do work in workbooks, and then
they learn to incorporate the
two.”
In addition to the family of
Jean, Jule and Peter, there are
two other teachers: violist the
Rev. Gerard McGlone and vio-
list and violinist Rachel Galassi,
who the other instructors are
quick to say are pretty much
family despite not sharing the
same names. This sentiment
runs through the relationships
between anyone involved with
the school.
“We are very close with every-
one who comes here,” Jean
said. “The parents, the stu-
dents. We’ve had some students
that come here as children and
play until they go off to college.
They come back and visit. In
fact, we’ve played two weddings
this month that were former
students’.”
It’s important that the arts
are so accessible to children.
The Suzuki School for strings is
the only one of its kind in this
area.
“Where would the world be
without music?” Jean said.
“And actually, this is so much
more than music, what we do.
It’s discipline, perseverance,
self-esteem. There are social as-
pects to it; children get to be
with other children, they learn
how to follow a leader. In addi-
tion to the musical skills, there
are life skills being learned.”

The former Loyal Order of
Moose Lodge128 at 273 Stanton
St. in Wilkes-Barre also is up for
auction Thursday.
New Jersey resident Chris-
topher Bukowski bought the
6,500-square-foot structure for
$12,669 in March 2008 when it
was listedina prior back-taxauc-
tion. Bukowski paid no taxes af-
ter his purchase and owes
$25,972, county records show.
Numerous residential struc-
tures and vacant land parcels are
listed in the auction.
One of the largest undevel-
oped plots is a 60.78-acre parcel
off Rock Glen Road in Sugarloaf
Township owned by the Mead-
ows at Sugarloaf Inc. A total
$12,738 in taxes are owed from
2009 through 2011, records
show.
The auction list also includes
an office and storage building on
Wood Street in Wilkes-Barre
owned by Choice Properties
LLC, whichowes$35,500inback
taxes from2009 through 2011.
A 5-acre catch basin in the
Wilkes-Barre Township Com-
mons shopping center anchored
byTarget alsois listed, but it may
be removed.
JohnRodgers, owner of North-
east Revenue Service LLC, the
county’s tax-claim operator, said
he will discuss removal with the
county administration because
he doesn’t want bidders to un-
knowingly purchase a liability.
He also doesn’t want the coun-
ty stuck with the property if it
doesn’t sell Thursday. Properties
left after free-and-clear sales go
in the county repository, where
they remain in limbo unless
someone submits a purchase of-
fer accepted by taxing bodies.
The basin, owned by RB
Wilkes-Barre LLC, was required
to allow construction of retail
properties in the land around it.
Lower-elevation structures in
Wilkes-Barre could flood during
heavy rain or melting snowif the
basin isn’t maintained or mal-
functions.
The Wilkes-Barre Township
Planning Commission approved

from the Make a Difference for

The 29th annual festival did
well, too.

RENFREW — A soldier from
western Pennsylvania who was
killed in Afghanistan last week is
beingrememberedbyrelatives as
a motivated and patriotic man
who was a good son and father.
The Defense Department said
Friday that 39-year-old Staff Sgt.
Eric Holman of Evans City was
killedby animprovisedexplosive
device on Wednesday in Ghanzi
province.
His father, David, of Forward
Township, Butler County, told
KDKA-TV that his son was a
bomb disposal specialist who
loved his job.
“He loved his country,” David
Holman said. “He was very patri-
otic and he just felt that he need-
ed to do what he needed to do,
and he wanted to have an im-
pact.”
His stepmother, Jan Holman,
told the Pittsburg Post-Gazette
that Eric joined the Army after
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist at-
tacks. He served with the 82nd
Airborne Divi-
sion and be-
came a member
of the Army’s
Golden
Knights para-
chute team,
which became
“like a family”
for him, she
said.
“He had
planned to
make the Army
a career,” Jan
Holman said.
“He likedevery-
thing about it.”
David Holman says his son re-
cently purchased an airplane and
was planning to take flying les-
sons when he got home next
month. He said he and his son,
who leaves behind a 7-year-old
son of his own, talked every
week.
“He was an incredible guy. He
achieved so many things in his
life,” David Holman said. “He
was a good son; he was a good fa-
ther.”

NEW YORK — A small plane
carrying three people plummet-
ed into a residential Long Island
street with a fiery crash Sunday,
killing two people aboard as
neighbors tried to douse the
flames with fire extinguishers
and garden hoses, authorities
and witnesses said.
The single-engine, propeller
plane went down around noon in
Shirley, shortly after taking off
fromnearby Brookhaven Calabro
Airport, Federal Aviation Admin-
istration spokeswoman Kathleen
Bergen said.
The front of the plane landed
ona tree-linedstreet flankedwith
homes — ending up about 100
feet from the nearest house and
several hundred from half a doz-
en others — and its tail plunged
into a nearby construction trash
bin, said Jeff Litwin, who lives on
thestreet afewhundredfeet from
the crash on Helene Avenue.
He was in his basement when
he heard what sounded at first
like thunder, but he then heard
another explosion, realized it
wasn’t the weather and went out-
side.
A neighbor “was trying to put
out the fire with a garden hose,
but it was too hot and he couldn’t
get to a person trapped inside,”
Litwin said by phone.
Jane Unhjem, 60, of Goshen,
N.Y. died several hours after be-
ing hospitalized with burns.
Her husband, Erik Unhjem, 61,
was listed in serious condition at
Stony Brook University Medical
Center.
Authorities did not release the
name of a man who died at the
scene.
It was not immediately clear
who was piloting the plane.
The crash tore down a tree and
damaged a car. But no one was
hurt onthe ground, andthe plane
didn’t damage any homes, Ber-
gen said.
The FAA didn’t immediately
release the plane’s identification
number or owner’s name, saying
those would be disclosed once
authorities confirmed the condi-
tion of those on the ground.
The National Transportation
Safety Board is to investigate the
cause of the crash.
The aircraft is a Socata TB10
and is registered to a man in Or-
lando, Fla., the FAA said.
Known as a Tobago, the model
is no longer manufactured.
A representative for Socata,
part of the Paris-based aerospace
and defense company Daher, de-
clined to comment.
The plane was covered up later
Sunday as police and firefighters
convergedonthe crashscene and
blocked off the road.
With a population of about
26,000, Shirley is near Long Is-
land’s southern shore and Fire Is-
land.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Jimmie
Johnson looked as if he had al-
ready finished the hardest work.
After starting at the back of the
pack, he had moved up quickly,
and when he passed Brad Kese-
lowski for the lead on lap 191 of
200, his No. 48 Chevrolet seemed
to be the superior car.
ThenJohnson’s engine faltered
with only six
laps remaining.
He lost the race
— and the
NASCAR
Sprint Cup
points lead —
to Greg Biffle
on Sunday.
“I got it turned around and was
catching him, and then his en-
gine failed,” Biffle said. “It was
going to be a great race, no mat-
ter what. I felt like I could catch
him, but we’ll never know. Pass-
ing him might have been a differ-
ent story.”
Biffle wonthe race at Michigan
International Speedway, taking
advantage when Johnson left the
track because of engine trouble.
Johnsonstartedthe race fromthe
back because of an engine
change, and he couldn’t hold on
at the end. He finished 27th.
After Johnson’s mishap, there
was a caution for oil on the track.
Biffle held off Keselowski by
0.416 seconds in the green-white-
checkered finish.
Biffle tookover the points lead,
while Johnson dropped fromfirst
to fourth. Matt Kenseth moved
up a spot to second despite a AP PHOTO

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT —
After his home run sailed over the
left-field fence, Brock Myers raced
around the basepaths as if he was
runninga 40-yarddash.
Thesoft-spoken, Myers playedit

Tennessee manager Joey Hale in-

Myers and his clutch-hitting team-
mates the star treatment.
Jayson Brown broke a 5-5 tie by
hitting a 1-2 pitch down the right-
fieldline for a two-out, two-runtri-
ple in the top of the sixth, and
Myers followed with his two-run
shot to left to lift the team from

PITTSBURGH — Andrew Luck
shook off a pair of early intercep-
tions to put together three second-
quarter scoring drives, giving the
Indianapolis Colts a halftime lead
before the Pittsburgh Steelers ral-
lied for a 26-24 preseason victory
Sunday night.
The top overall pick completed16
of 25 passes for 175 yards and added
a 1-yard touchdown run for the
Colts (1-1), who held their own
against a perennial Super Bowl con-
tender.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 81
yards with a touchdown and an in-
terception for the Steelers (1-1),
who took an early 14-0 lead when
Ike Taylor picked off Luck’s pass and
took it 50 yards for a score.
The pick hardly rattled Luck, who
led the Colts to scores on three of
their next four drives. By the time
he left, Indianapolis (No. 32 in the
AP Pro32) held a 17-14 at the break.
Rookie Danny Hrapmann kicked
four second-half field goals for the
Steelers, including the 22-yard win-
ner with 23 seconds remaining.
Luck dazzled in his preseason de-
but last week against St. Louis,
passing for a pair of touchdowns in a
38-3 romp. He expected a sterner
test against the Steelers — who led
the NFL in total defense for the
fourth time in the last nine years in
2011 — and he got it.
Pittsburgh (No. 7) sent its first
string defense — minus injured
stars James Harrison and Casey
Hampton — after Luck from the
start. The Colts managed just one
first down on their first three pos-
sessions, the third one ending with
Luck underthrowing Reggie Wayne
on a sideline pattern that Taylor
stepped in front of and took down
the sideline for a touchdown.
“I turned around and the ball was
right there,” Taylor said. “I just had
to make sure I caught it.”

ST. LOUIS — Pedro Alvarez
homered in the 19th inning and
the Pittsburgh Pirates won the
longest game in the majors this
season, outlasting the St. Louis
Cardinals 6-3 Sunday.
It took 6 hours, 7 minutes to
finish. Both teams scored a run
in the 17th, and each club used
eight pitchers.
Alvarez hit his 23rd homer, a
solo shot off Barret Browning
(1-3). Andrew McCutchen
added a two-run single later in
the inning.
Wandy Rodriguez (8-12),
who was set to start for the
Pirates on Monday night at
San Diego, got the win with
two scoreless innings of relief.
Phillies 8, Brewers 0
MILWAUKEE — Kyle Ken-
drick pitched three-hit ball for
eight innings and the Philadel-
phia Phillies beat Milwaukee
after waiting out a rare rain
delay at Miller Park.
The game was held up for 7
minutes when showers popped
up in the first inning with the
retractable roof still open. It
takes about 10 minutes for the
roof to fully shut, and the game
was delayed with the Brewers
batting in the bottom half
when the rain became harder.
Most of the Phillies stayed on
the field.
Diamondbacks 8, Astros 1
HOUSTON — The Houston
Astros lost in their first game
under interim manager Tony
DeFrancesco as Aaron Hill
homered twice to give the
Arizona Diamondbacks an 8-1
win and a sweep.
Nationals 5, Mets 2
WASHINGTON — Bryce
Harper homered and tripled,
and Danny Espinosa also
homered to lift the Washington
Nationals over the New York
Mets.
Dodgers 5, Braves 0
ATLANTA — Chad Billing-
sley combined with two reliev-
ers on a three-hitter to win his
sixth straight start, Luis Cruz
homered for the second game
in a row and the Los Angeles
Dodgers beat Atlanta.
Reds 5, Cubs 4
CINCINNATI — Xavier Paul
led off the ninth inning with a
pinch-hit triple and Ryan Hani-
gan followed with a single,
lifting the Cincinnati Reds over
the Chicago Cubs.
Padres 7, Giants 1
SAN DIEGO — Clayton
Richard pitched eight sparkling
innings, Cameron Maybin
drove in three runs and the San
Diego Padres snapped a five-
game losing streak by beating
San Francisco.
Rockies 3, Marlins 2
DENVER — Jordan Pacheco
homered among his three hits
as the banged-up Colorado
Rockies slowed down Giancar-
lo Stanton and beat Miami.

NEW YORK — Ichiro Suzu-
ki homered twice and Hiroki
Kuroda pitched eight innings
of four-hit ball to lead the New
York Yankees past Josh Beckett
and the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on
Sunday night.
Derek Jeter had three hits
and scored twice for the Yan-
kees, who took two of three
from Boston despite playing
the entire series without slug-
ger Mark Teixeira. The AL
East leaders won for the ninth
time in 12 games, ending a
two-year streak of futility
against Beckett (5-11).
Rays 8, Angels 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Matt
Moore shrugged off home runs
by Mike Trout and Albert Pu-
jols to win his fourth straight
decision, and the Tampa Bay
Rays completed a four-game
sweep of the fading Los An-
geles Angels with an 8-3 victo-
ry on Sunday.
Tampa Bay tagged Zack
Greinke (1-2) and outscored
the Angels 37-14 in the series
— the Rays set a team record
for runs in a four-game set,
erupting right after Seattle’s
Felix Hernandez pitched a
perfect game against them.
Orioles 7, Tigers 5
DETROIT — Nate McLouth
hit a go-ahead, two-run triple
as Baltimore rallied for the
win.
McLouth, Nick Markakis
and Mark Reynolds each had
two hits for the Orioles, who
have won five of seven, in-
cluding the last two of the key
weekend series at Detroit.
Chris Davis homered for the
second straight game and J.J.
Hardy had a two-run double.
Royals 5, White Sox 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jere-
my Guthrie flirted with a no-
hitter, Salvador Perez drove in
three runs and Kansas City
completed a three-game series
sweep of the AL Central lead-
ers.
Rangers 11, Blue Jays 2
TORONTO — Michael
Young hit a three-run homer
and a two-run double to power
Texas to the victory.
Mariners 5, Twins 1
SEATTLE — Michael Saun-
ders hit a two-run homer, Blake
Beavan pitched into the sixth
inning and Seattle picked up
its fifth straight victory.
Athletics 7, Indians 0
OAKLAND, Calif. — Jarrod
Parker pitched eight sharp
innings and Coco Crisp home-
red and drove in five runs to
help Oakland finish off the
three-game sweep.
Brandon Moss also homered
and Cliff Pennington scored
three times. The A’s won their
fourth in a row and moved 10
games over .500, matching
their high mark of the season.

NEW YORK (AP) — A news-
paper is reporting San Fran-
cisco Giants All-Star Melky
Cabrera tried to avoid a 50-
game drug suspension by
creating a fake website and
product to support his claim
that he inadvertently took
the illegal substance.
The New York Daily News
reported Sunday that Major
League Baseball investiga-
tors quickly uncovered the
scheme during the fact-find-
ing phase of the case in July.
The incident has drawn the
attentionof federal investiga-
tors. Cabrera was suspended
Wednesday.
In their search for the
source of the drug that
caused elevated levels of tes-
tosterone in Cabrera’s sam-
ple, investigators are looking
into Juan Nunez, who is al-
leged to have paid for the
website. Nunez is a consult-
ant for Cabrera’s agents, Sam
and Seth Levinson.
Nunez told the newspaper
the Levinsons had no knowl-
edge of the website scheme.
San Francisco manager
Bruce Bochy would not dis-
cuss the allegations against
Cabrera before the Giants
played the Padres in San Die-
go. He didn’t defend his play-
er’s actions, either.

BROWNS
Running back Hardesty
enjoying football again
BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland
Browns are getting surprising produc-
tion at running back in the preseason.
This unexpected help is coming from
Montario Hardesty and not No. 3 over-
all pick Trent Richardson.
Coach Pat Shurmur said Sunday that
Hardesty is making the most of in-
creased playing time since Richardson
had knee surgery Aug. 9.
Except for Hardesty’s costly fumble
on the first play at Green Bay on Thurs-
day, the third-year running back is
showing the style the Browns expected
when they made him a second-round
choice in 2010. Hardesty missed all of
2010 after surgery. He didn’t play much
last season and knows Cleveland has a
big investment in Richardson. Yet he’s
eager to prove he can play, too.
TEXANS
Kubiak looks to shore up
team’s run defense
HOUSTON — Houston coach Gary
Kubiak says Saturday’s win over San
Francisco had the feel of a regular-
season game and offered a helpful
gauge of where the Texans are three
weeks before the games count.
Kubiak liked most of what he saw in
the Texans’ 20-9 victory — the contin-
uing improvement of receiver Lestar
Jean, developing depth on the right
side of the offensive line and sharpness
from quarterback Matt Schaub and star
receiver Andre Johnson.
But the second-team offense sput-
tered and the 49ers broke off a handful
of first down runs, new areas of con-
cern for Kubiak.
Linebacker Brian Cushing bruised
his ribs in the game, but Kubiak said
no one else was injured. The Texans
play at New Orleans on Saturday.
VIKINGS
Cook, Rudolph recovering
from concussions
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minneso-
ta Vikings cornerback Chris Cook and
tight end Kyle Rudolph are recovering
from concussions.
Both players were banged up in
Friday’s preseason game against Buffa-
lo and held out of Sunday’s practice as
a precaution. Coach Leslie Frazier said
they’re still in the evaluation phase of
their injuries, but that they’ve passed
all of their tests so far.
Running back Adrian Peterson will
continue to have his participation
ramped up this week, with his rehabil-
itation from reconstructive surgery on
his left knee nearly behind him. Frazier
said the team would decide by Tuesday
or Wednesday whether he’ll play in this
week’s preseason game against San
Diego.
LIONS
2 punters vying for job
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Most of the
Detroit Lions special teamers came to
training camp with decent job security.
But that’s not so for the pair a punt-
ers. Ryan Donahue earned the job last
season as a rookie, but a quadriceps
injury midway through the season
opened the door for veteran Ben Gra-
ham.
The duo has split most of the duty so
far in camp and during the Lions’ two
preseason games and both know only
one man will get the job.
“You’re expected to play at the high-
est level all the time and the competi-
tion makes it better and it makes you
better as a punter,” said Donahue, who
ended Nick Harris’ eight-year run as
Detroit’s punter out of camp last sum-
mer.

Cleveland Browns running back Mon-
tario Hardesty has put up some good
numbers during the team’s first two
preseason games.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom
Coughlin talked about the usual pros
and cons after watching the video of the
Giants’ preseasonwinover the Jets, and
the report on injuries to running back
Ahmad Bradshaw and rookie corner-
back JayronHosley seemedOK.
What the Giants coach had a problem
withSunday was a videoof ProBowl de-
fensive end Jason Pierre-Paul throwing
second-year cornerback Prince Amu-
kamara intoanice bathat trainingcamp
at the Universityat Albany. It was tweet-
ed by punter Steve Weatherford before
Saturday’s 26-3 win over the Jets, and it
contains some inappropriate language.
Theincident alsocouldbeconsidered
eitherhazing—althoughthat’soddfora
second-year player —or evenbullying.
Some might explain it as camp bond-
ing, but Amukamara doesn’t look
amused.
Neither was Coughlin.
“I’m learning about that today,”
Coughlin said. “I really didn’t have any
information about that until maybe an
hour ago, anhour beforethis conference
call. I’mgoingtolookintoit; I’mgoingto
talk to the parties involved.”
It wasnot clear whether Coughlinhad
seen the video of Pierre-Paul carrying a
non-resistant Amukamara through a
hallway as teammates followed, some
shouting inappropriate comments.
Once Pierre-Paul reaches the ice tubs he
seems to fling Amukamara into the wa-
ter.
The cornerback gets out of the water
quickly but the lookonhis face suggests
he is upset.
“Anythingthat occurswithinthisfam-
ily or within our group should not be a
part of any social media aspect,” Cough-
lin said. “I’m going to address that
strongly, and I’ve spent a little time on
that this preseason, but I’ll look into it
further.”
Giants players were off Sunday.
Amukamara told the Star-Ledger of
Newark after the game that he was con-
fused getting thrown into the bath since
he was no longer a rookie, but he said: “I
knowit’s all love. Yeah, noone ever likes
it, especially when it’s you vs. eight and
noone’s helpingyou. But it doesn’t mess
up our teammorale or anything.”
While the video attracted the most at-
tention Sunday, the good news for the
Super Bowl champions (No. 3 in the AP
Pro32) was that Bradshaw seemingly
hasonlyabruisedright handafter it hit a
helmet and popped a cyst on his hand in
the process.
Hosley, who made the biggest play of
the game returning a second-quarter in-
terception77yardsfor atouchdown, has
a case of turf toe on his right foot. It was
ina cast after the game.
“Hopefully nothing will turn up in
terms of all the tests, and then it’s going
to be something that is going to be very
sore,” Coughlinsaid. “There’s no doubt.
How he is able to deal with it will indi-
catehowfast hecanget backontheprac-
tice field.”
Hosley was on the field for only seven
plays. The third-round draft pick out of
Virginia Tech did not know on which
play he was hurt.
If there was an area of concern for the
Giants, it wastheirrunninggame, which
finished last in the league in 2011. They
gained 58 yards on 32 carries, a horrible
1.8-yardaverage.

NEWYORK—Things were supposed
to look a lot different for the New York
Jets’ offense.
There’s a new coordinator in Tony
Sparano, a rededication to a run-first ap-
proach and the addition of the elusive
and electrifying Tim Tebow.
So far, this year’s Jets look a lot like
last year’s —and that’s not a good thing.
At all.
“It’s the second preseason game,”
quarterback Mark Sanchez said, trying
to ease everyone’s fears. “It’s not time to
hit the panic button. You have to im-
prove and learn from this stuff. I know
we can do it.”
But now they’ve got to show it.
Through two preseason games, the
Jets (0-2) have failed to score a touch-
down, with their nine points coming on
three field goals.
“I don’t think you can get frustrated,”
Tebow said. “We haven’t even played a
real game. When the regular season gets
here, then that’s when it’s for real. We’ve
got to continue to show improvement
and get better every day.”
Sanchez has been knocked around,
much as he was last season, with a seri-
ous lackof pass protectionthat has ledto
himbeingsackedfive times andprevent-
ed him from having time to do much of
anything
It wasn’t just him. Tebowwas also vis-
ibly upset with the offensive line Satur-
day night in the Jets’ 26-3 loss to the Gi-
ants after taking one of his four sacks.
“I’m not sure what play exactly, but
probably just frustrated,” he said. “We
want to get on the same communication
and have it run smooth, everyone being
on the same page.”
Tebowhas yet to be the spark that was
expected, save for one drive Saturday
night that led to the team’s only points.
But theNFL’s most popular backupquar-
terback could’ve gotten the crowd fired
up when he spotted a wide-open Ste-
phen Hill in the end zone on second-
and-20 from the 29. Instead, Tebow
short-hopped the throw, waved his hand
as if telling Hill he should’ve come to the
ball, andit was another opportunity lost.
“I mean, clearly we have to get more
production in the regular season than
we’ve gotten in these two preseason
games,” coach Rex Ryan said. “There is
no doubt. But I’m100 percent sure when
we kick it off for real, we will have more
production.
“There’s absolutely no doubt about
that.”

WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin
III: three sacks, no touchdowns.
Kirk Cousins: three touchdowns,
no sacks.
If preseasonstats couldbetakenat
face value, one could have fun cob-
bling together yet another Washing-
tonRedskins quarterbackcontrover-
sy, this one involving a pair of roo-
kies.
For one thing, fourth-rounder
Cousins from Michigan State is nat-
urally more comfortable in the pock-
et thanNo. 2overall pickGriffin, who
didn’t get a chance to learn the nu-
ances of a pro-style offense at Baylor.
Of course, there is no such QB

Feeling the heat
By JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) —
Julio Jones is still drawing double-
takes over his new hairstyle.
His position coach is more taken
with what he hears.
“You can listen to himrun,” said Ter-
ry Robiskie, who work withthe Atlanta
Falcons receivers. “I can hear him gal-
loping. I can actually hear the sound.
It’s likea horsethat’s trottingout onthe
track. Whatever that sound is, it’s mu-
sic to your ears if you’re a coach.”
This is why the Falcons paid such a
heavy price to land Jones in the first
round of the 2011draft. This is why the
team is convinced that he’s poised to
become one of the NFL’s top receivers,
even after a rookie season that had
some downs along with the ups.
“Just look at the physicality of the
guy,” Robiskie said Sunday, shortly af-
ter the Falcons finished a morning
practice that officially wrapped up the
training camp portion of the presea-
son. “When you look at how strong he
is, howbiga guy he is, howpowerful he
is ... he’s got all the powerful stuff that’s
just beautiful to watch.”
To those on the outside, Jones’ most
visible move of the offseason was cut-
ting off his dreadlocks, which he had
throughout his college career at Alaba-
ma and his rookie season with the Fal-
cons. He donated the hair to a charity
that helps childrenwithcancer andhas
no plans to grow it back, enjoying his
sleeker look (especially in the heat of a
Georgia summer).
For the coaching staff, the most no-
ticeable difference is onthe field. Jones
is much more comfortable in the Fal-
cons’ offense, having spent much of
2011 learning on the fly.
Because of the lockout, rookies
didn’t get a chance to work with their
teams until training camp opened,
eliminating all those valuable months
spent learning the playbook, meshing
with newteammates and getting accli-
mated to the NFL way of life.
“Confidence” is how Robiskie de-
scribes it. “You can just see it in every-
thing we’re doing. If we call a play and
he walks out of the huddle, he knows
what that play is. His wheels are turn-
ing, but they’re not turning quite like
they were. Last year, he came in and
was just thrown into the mix. He was
trying to figure it all out.”

The Little League Takeover fun-
draiser was created in response to
abreak-inandarsonat PlainsLittle
League’s Tokach Field.
“Our vice president of ticket
sales, Doug Augis, and Rob
McLane, our corporateticket sales
executive, had seen somewhere
online where someone had taken
over a game for kids like this,”
Beardsley said. “They thought it
would be a wonderful idea for
themtohaveagreatexperiencefor
the kids and help raise the money
theyneededtodoall therepairsfor
the field.”
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre or-
ganization provided the atmo-
sphere of a professional minor
league baseball game.
“When we manage a game at
PNCField, there’satonof pre-plan-
ning,” Beardsleysaid. “Sowewent
about it in the exact same way we
would go about planning one of
our games.”
The Friday evening in June in-
cluded a total of nine innings of
baseball and softball, a hat give-
away, the national anthem, PNC
FieldP.A. announcer, JohnDavies,
Champ, the Yankees’ mascot, and
other in-game entertainment.
“Betweeninnings, our Pinstripe
Patrol was out and about doing lit-
tle skits,” Beardsley said. “It was
just like you would see at PNC
Field.”
Beardsley was pleased with the
turnout and said about 2,000 hats
weregivenawayat thepromotion.
“Their bleachers were filled to
capacity,”Beardsleysaid. “Towalk
to one side of the field to the other
was a struggle, which was a good
thing because there was a good
amount of people there.”
Beardsley credits the success of
theeventnotonlytotheScranton/
Wilkes-Barre organization, but al-
so to the Plains Little League offi-
cials.
“They worked with us to make
sureeverythingwasgoingsmooth-
ly and they got a lot of donations
and made sure everyone was on
their game,” Beardsley said.
Beardsley said the most impor-
tant motive behind the event was
to help out Plains Little League af-
ter a tragedy but it also gave the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre organiza-
tion an opportunity to provide mi-
nor league baseball entertain-
ment.
“We haven’t been able to do any
of that thisyear sotodothat onthe
littleleaguelevel forthosekidsand
really give them the professional
experience of maybe playing a mi-
nor league game was wonderful,”
Beardsleysaid. “Wethought it was
great and it gave us one day out of
the year where we could show off
our planning skills and put on a
good showfor everybody.”
Beardsley took pride in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre andPlains
LittleLeagueorganizations’ ability
to come together and create the
event in such a short period of
time.
“Everybody worked extremely
hard on this,” Beardsley said. “We
worked extra hours for it and ev-
erybody did what they needed to
do to make sure we had a success-
ful charity fundraiser and the kids
had a good time.”

17th-place showing.
“I know that a lot of people
don’t expect us to win the
championship, and don’t ex-
pect us to compete for the ti-
tle,” Biffle said. “I don’t care
what they say or who they
want to talk about, but we will
bea factor whenit comes down
to Homestead. I promise you
that.”
Kasey Kahne finished third
in the 400-mile race, followed
by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Mar-
cos Ambrose.
It was the 12th victory for
Roush Fenway Racing at MIS,
breaking a tie with the Wood
Brothers for the most wins at
the track.
Pole sitter Mark Martin was
sailing along in the lead for
most of the first 65 laps before
his race ended in scary fashion.
Bobby Labonte went into a
spin while Martin was coming
up from behind, and Martin
went sliding off toward pit
road. His car crashed frighten-
ingly into the end of a short,
narrow barrier on the interior
side of pit road.
The side of Martin’s car was
essentially impaled by the end
of the wall, just in front of the
left rear tire and dangerously
close to the driver’s seat. But in
the smoky scene that followed,
Martin was able to get out and
walk away.
“I really feel that was a freak
accident. I’m not sure you can
ever completely fix something
like that,” Martin said. “That
was a pretty freak angle that I
got it. I’m not sure what you
can do. It could have been real-
ly bad if I would have got into
that hole a little deeper where
it would have caught me in the
door instead of the crush area
back there.”
Johnson started from the
back, and so did Earnhardt,
who was using a backup car af-
ter a mishap in practice Satur-
day. The two Hendrick Motor-
sports teammates made a solid
run of it, but it was Biffle and
his No. 16 Fordthat emergedat
the end.
Johnson did not speak to re-
porters afterward. He was try-
ing to become the first driver
to reach four victories this sea-
son. Keselowski and Tony
Stewart also have three, and
drivers will earn bonus points
in the Chase for the Sprint Cup
for “regular-season” victories.
The Chase starts next
month.
“The 48 has the most speed
and the best history as far as
the Chase is concerned,” Kese-
lowski said. “We caught a lucky
break that was unfortunate for
Jimmie. ... He definitely de-
served to win the race. Just
didn’t play out that way.”
It was Biffle’s second win of
the year and third career victo-
ry at MIS. Keselowski, racing
in his home state, settled for
second place for the second
straight week.
“Just a great day,” Keselow-
ski said. “I don’t know what to
say other than I was this close
to getting what would have
been one of the biggest wins of
my career. That would have
been really special.”
Biffle’s victory was his 18th
on the Cup circuit.
Earnhardt won at MIS in
June, snapping a four-year los-
ing streak. The last driver to
sweep the two Cup races at
MIS was Labonte in 1995.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Ne-
braska wants Taylor Martinez to
become a better passer this sea-
son. Along with that, the 17th-
ranked Cornhuskers need him to
be the runner he used to be.
Lost in the scrutinizing of Mar-
tinez’s throwing motion —a pop-
ular pastime for folks in this foot-
ball-crazy state — has been the
drop-off in his rushing numbers
the second half of last season.
Martinez prioritizedhis throw-
ing mechanics in the offseason
with the idea that defenses will
be hesitant to load up to stop the
run if he’s more effective passing.
He hired a personal quarterback
coach and attended the Manning
Passing Academy last month.
Coaches and teammates say they
see a difference through two
weeks of preseason practice.
“I think his best football is
ahead of him,” coach Bo Pelini
said. “He’s had a tremendous off-
season. I’m glad he’s our quarter-
back.”
The Huskers ran more than
two-thirds of the time last sea-
son, with Rex Burkhead getting
most of the carries.
Second-year offensive coordi-
nator Tim Beck is planning a
more balanced spread-option
scheme, but he knows how dan-
gerous Martinez can be if he’s
running well. The junior is 17-8
as the starter, including 8-0 when
he runs for 100 yards. The Husk-
ers are 4-6 when he’s held under
50.
Nagging injuries have limited
Martinez since the second half of
the 2010 season. He said he’s 100
percent now.
“Hopefully this year I can take
more hits and run the ball a lot
more,” he said.
Martinez averaged 97 yards
rushing as the Huskers started
5-1 last season. He ran for 41
yards a game during a 4-3 finish.
He completed 56 percent of his
passes for 2,089 yards, with 13
touchdowns against eight inter-
ceptions.
Dropped balls hurt his num-
bers, but so did poor throwing
form. He often put the ball be-
hind and over receivers. He
would miss the mark on long pas-
ses when he leaned back and
threw awkwardly off his back
foot.
Martinez spent his spring
break with Los Angeles-area
quarterback coach Steve Cal-
houn, who changed his footwork
and delivery. Martinez worked
with other college quarterbacks
at the Manning camp, picking up
tips on mechanics and leadership
from NFL stars Peyton and Eli.
He immersed himself in film
study this summer with graduate
assistant Joe Ganz, the Huskers’
quarterback in 2008.
The first day of preseason prac-
tice, Martinez raised eyebrows
whenhe saidhis goal was to com-
plete 70 percent of his passes this
year.
Told that only eight FBS quar-
terbacks with a minimum of 15
attempts a game were able to
achieve that mark last year, the
57-percent career passer didn’t
waver.
“I don’t look at what other
quarterbacks do,” he said.
“That’s what I want to reach.”
Martinez’s confidence is fueled
by the fact that the Huskers will
be entering their second year in
Beck’s spread-option system and
second year in the Big Ten.
“Last year we kind of switched
it up a lot and we really didn’t
know what coach Beck wanted
early on in the games,” Martinez
said. “We really didn’t know how
to prepare for them, and a lot of
times when we went into a game,
we had to change up our game
plan. We knowwhat defenses are
going to give us this year, so it’s a
lot better for us and coach Beck.”
Huskers need Martinez to be passer, runner
Bielema picks transfer O’Brien as starting QB
MADISON, Wis. — Danny O’Brien will start at quarterback when No.
12 Wisconsin opens its season.
Badgers coach Bret Bielema announced the decision on his
Twitter account Sunday evening. O’Brien, a transfer from Maryland,
came into camp as the favorite to win the job, and beat out redshirt
senior Curt Phillips and redshirt freshman Joel Stave.
Bielema posted, “Both Curt and Joel had great camps as well, we
are very fortunate that we have 3 QB’s that can play winning football
for us.”
Wisconsin opens the season Sept. 1 against Northern Iowa.
O’Brien, a starter for most of the past two seasons at Maryland, is
eligible to play right away because he already has graduated — the
same rule Russell Wilson took advantage of at Wisconsin last season.

Hale’s team had a tougher time
against a California club that belt-
ed four homers on the afternoon.
Petaluma’s powerful hitters are
rarelyoutof anygamethewaythey
swing the bats, so Myers’ blast
helped ease his skipper’s mind.
“They were pretty big ... Brock.
Going up by four, it was pretty
nice,” Hale said.
Myers smiled briefly and
shrugged his shoulders.
Brown, also12, simplysaidafter-
ward the big inning was “pretty
awesome.”
But the game was pretty tight
going into the sixth, with 17,000
fans watching in the stands and
millions more watchingonnation-
al television.
After scratching out two first-in-
ning runs on a fielder’s choice and
passed ball, Petaluma turned up
the power. Six-foot-3 Bradley
Smith, 12, got the spree started
with a homer down the left-field
line.
With two blasts in two games,
Smith has already become one off
the most feared hitters in South
Williamsport.
“If you’re hitting the ball like
that, youwanthimtostepuptothe
plate as much as possible, but the
rules only call for you to hit at cer-
tain times,” manager Eric Smith
said.
Kempton Brandis and Porter
Slate also homered on the after-
noon, andColeTomei sluggedaso-
lo shot with two outs in the sixth.
Slate then draw a walk, but re-
liever Jake Rucker got a force at
secondtoendthegame—twobat-
ters before Smith’s place in the or-
der.
“I wasn’t nervous at all,” Myers
said. “I knewJake was goingtoget
the next” out.
While the California kids were
understandably down, Smith
urgedhis players toshake it off the
disappointment to start focusing
on Monday’s elimination game
against NewJersey.
“It’s a strong group of kids and
wecanhit theball,” hesaid. “We’re
in any game.”
So is Tennessee, which also
scratched out runs with textbook
baserunning.
Rucker went 3 for 4 with three
runs, scoring on a passed ball and
two fielder’s choices. He also
earned the win in relief.
Texas13, Indiana 3
Jordan Cardenas hit his second
homer of the tournament and Za-
chary Sanchez also went deep for
Texas, whichbrokeopenaone-run
game by scoring six in the fourth.
Texas’ top four hitters in Carde-
nas, Sanchez, Landry Wideman
and Seth Morrow set the pace by
combining to go 8 for 14 with nine
runs and seven RBIs.
The offensive outbreak in the
sixth broke a 1-for-18 stretch with
runners in scoring position.
“That happens all the time with
this team,” Texas manager Jack
Wideman Jr. said. “I told the kids
it’s a six inning game, we will fight

I STARTED
played fantasy
football back in
the “olden
days.”
The deep,
dark recesses of
the late 1990s,
when Bill Clinton was president,
Justin Bieber was teething, gas
cost $1.30 and Brett Favre hadn’t
annoyed us all yet.
My very first pick in my very
first draft was John Elway. I
thought I did fine. Little did I
know, this noob had just broken
the cardinal rule of fantasy foot-
ball: Draft a running back in the
first round.
It made sense, of course. The
NFL was powered by the run-
ning game and top flight RBs
were scarce. If you passed on
Terrell Davis or Barry Sanders in
1997, you ended up with Na-
trone Means or Chris Warren.
Yechhh!
It’s a different NFL these days.
The league is a passing league,
and the top fantasy scorers are
almost all quarterbacks. But
people still hold fast to the “gold-
en” rule and reach for risky RBs
when a better QB option is avail-
able.
It’s time to break that “RB
first” rule on draft day. And,
while you’re at it, there are a few
other rules you should break.
RULE1: WAITTODRAFTA
QB: Just howvaluable is having
a top-tier quarterback on your
fantasy roster? Let’s do the
math.
In 2011, a QB had a four-TDor
more performance in a game 29
times. Aaron Rodgers, Drew
Brees, TomBrady, Matthew
Stafford and CamNewton were
responsible for 19 of them.
Now, bump that number up to
five TDs in a game. That hap-
pened nine times. Rodgers,
Brees and Stafford had eight of
them.
Don’t shy away fromthese
elite guys. If you can’t get a dif-
ference making RB like Arian
Foster or Ray Rice, take one of
these five over the next tier of
backs.
RULE 2: DON’TDRAFTA
TIGHTENDEARLY: There
were five players who caught
more than10 touchdown passes
in 2011. Two of themwere tight
ends Rob Gronkowski and Jim-
my Graham.
There were five players who
had more than 90 receptions last
year. Two of themwere Gron-
kowski and Graham.
There were seven players who
put up more than1,300 receiving
yards. Two of themwere .. well,
you see where this is going.
After Calvin Johnson, the
“G-Men” are your next best pass
catching options. Taking one
late in round one or early in two
is worth it.
RULE 3: BEWARE OF RBS
OVER30: OK, so this rule still
has some value, but maybe we
can amend it. “Beware of RBs
over 30 with heavy workloads.”
The Bills’ Fred Jackson may
be 30 years old, but he’s spent
most of his career playing in
Europe or as a backup to Mar-
shawn Lynch. He finally got his
chance to start in 2011and he
ran with the opportunity. Until
he broke his leg in Week10.
Average his stats over 16
games, and you get …1,512 yards
rushing, 10 TDs and 63 recep-
tions for 706 yards.
That’s more rushing and re-
ceiving yards than Arian Foster
and Ray Rice. And more TDs
than Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris
Johnson and Matt Forte.
If he stays healthy, he will be a
top10 fantasy back. Maybe top
five.
RULE 4: BEWARE OF IN-
JUREDSTARS: That depends
on what kind of injury. Beware of
stars coming of knee injuries
might be a better way to put it.
Chargers’ tight end Antonio
Gates has lost part of the last
two seasons with a foot injury,
and a lot of people are writing
himoff . That’s just silly.
Think of this.
In 2010, Gates got off to a
blazing start. He hurt his foot in
Week 8 and played in only 10
games, but still managed 50
catches, 782 yards and10 TDs. If
you average those numbers over
a whole season, that would be,
80 receptions, 1,250 yards and16
TDs. Very Gronkowski-esque.
And, Gates put up those num-
bers in the 10 games the Char-
gers were without no. 1WR
Vincent Jackson.
Flash forward to 2012. Gates is
healthy. Vincent Jackson is in
Tampa Bay. The Chargers just
lost promising young WRVin-
cent Brown to a broken ankle.
Sounds like Gates to the res-
cue.
These draft-day rules were for made for breakin’

DURANGO, Colo. — Nearly
five months after breaking his leg
in a training accident in Spain,
Levi Leipheimer will begin de-
fense of his USA Pro Cycling
Challenge title today in hopes of
claiming his first overall victory
this season.
Leipheimer, who is from Santa
Rosa, Calif., and rides for the Bel-
gium-based Omega Pharma
Quick-Step team, will be among
the favorites in the seven-day,
683-mile race that will include
126 riders from16 teams.
The race’s second edition,
which will include more than
40,000 feet of climbing, begins
with a 125.6-mile road race from
Durango to Telluride. The riders
will climb to Lizard Head Pass at
more than 10,000 feet before a fi-
nal 15-mile descent to the finish.
A motorist hit Leipheimer, a
four-time top-10 Tour de France
finisher, on April 1. He returned
tocompetitioninMayat theTour
of California, a race he’s won
three times.
But Leipheimer wasn’t in top
form and faltered in the moun-
tains and in his time trial special-
ty. In late June, Leipheimer com-
peted in the Tour de France for
the 10th time. But he crashed of-
ten in the first week and finished
31st overall, tying his career-
worst effort.
“Any injury is difficult to come
back from. That was one of the
hardest in my career,” said Lei-
pheimer, 38.
Leipheimer showed last week
he’s returning to top condition,
winning the mountainous final
stage of the Tour of Utah with a
late-race solo breakaway.
Italian Vincenzo Nibali, third
last month in the Tour de France,
and 2011 Tour de France winner
Cadel Evans of Australia are also
expected title contenders.
George Hincapie of Greenville,
S.C., who completed the Tour de
France last month for a record-ty-
ing 16th time, will participate in
the event as the final race of his
19-year professional career.

Degenkolb wins
Vuelta stage
VIANA, Spain — John
Degenkolb of Germany won the
second stage of the Spanish
Vuelta on Sunday, while local
favorite Jonathan Castroviejo
kept the red leader’s jersey for
the Movistar team.
Degenkolb powered in front
of the pack in the final sprint to
narrowly win the stage for
Argos-Shimano, finishing in 4
hours, 38 minutes, 40 seconds.
Australian rider Allan Davis
of Orica-Greenedge was
second, followed by England’s
Ben Swift of Team Sky.
On Monday, the cyclists will
face the first mountain stage, a
96-mile ride from Faustino V to
a summit finish in the Basque
town of Eibar.
GREENSBORO, N.C.
— It’s been four years
since Sergio Garcia’s last
PGA Tour victory. He’ll
have to wait one more
day before he can try to
finish this one off.
And a downpour at the
Wyndham Championship
meant another day of
uncertainty for others on
the playoff bubble.
Garcia had the lead at
15 under through four
holes Sunday when the
final round in the last
event before the FedEx
Cup playoffs was suspend-
ed for the day because of
heavy rain.
Tim Clark, Jason Dufn-
er and Bud Cauley were
14 under through varying
stages of their rounds,
and 38 players — half the
field — were still on the
course when play was
stopped.
After waiting roughly 2
hours, 20 minutes, offi-
cials decided to bring
them back to Sedgefield
Country Club at 9 a.m.
Monday to crown a cham-
pion and figure out who
qualifies for the playoffs
and who doesn’t. It will
be the first Monday finish
in Greensboro since 1983.
Tour officials said more than 2 inches of
rain fell on the course since Saturday night
and Mark Russell, the tour’s vice president
of rules and competition, said the 15th hole
became “unplayable.”
The stoppage came at 3:10 p.m. when
the showers picked up, and it was expected
to be only a brief delay, with the players
initially staying on the course. Officials
reversed that decision and brought them in
a short while later.
Then, when the initially announced res-
tart time of 5 p.m. was pushed back twice
— first to 5:30 p.m., then 6 p.m. — it made
it virtually impossible for the final pairing
to finish 14 holes in the roughly 2 hours of
remaining daylight and guaranteed a Mon-
day finish.
The decision to suspend things was
announced at 5:28 p.m.
“It started raining and just wouldn’t stop.
The golf course got to the point where it
was saturated,” Russell said. “We got to a
point where we knew we
couldn’t finish ... so we
made a decision that we
would let it drain tonight,
come back in the morning
and be in position to re-
sume play at 9 o’clock.”
Willie Woods wins
Champions event
ENDICOTT, N.Y. —
Willie Wood won the Dick’s
Sporting Goods Open on
Sunday for his first Cham-
pions Tour title, beating
Michael Allen with a par on
the first hole of a playoff.
Wood made a long birdie
putt on the final hole of
regulation to match Allen, a
two-time winner this year,
at 13-under 203 on the
En-Joie Golf Course. Wood
closed with a 66, and Allen
shot 66.
Shawn Stefani wins
Midwest Classic
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.
— Shawn Stefani won the
Midwest Classic on Sunday
for his first Web.com Tour
title, closing with a 7-under
64 for a two-stroke victory.
The 30-year-old former
Lamar player finished at
17-under 267 on the Nick-
laus Golf Club at Lion-
sGate. He earned $99,000
to jump from 54th to 12th on the money
list with $166,715. The final top 25 on the
money list will earn 2013 PGA Tour cards.
“The win hasn’t really sunk in yet, but
this is something you dream about as a
kid,” Stefani said.
“This is the best thing that has ever
happened to me. When the year started I
had a couple of goals. One was to win a
tournament and the other was to finish in
the top 25 and earn my PGA Tour card.”
LPGA Safeway Classic
NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Japan’s Mika
Miyazato won the Safeway Classic on Sun-
day for her first victory on the LPGA Tour,
finishing with a 2-under 70 to beat Brittany
Lincicome and Inbee Park by two strokes.
Miyazato finished at 13-under 203 in her
wire-to-victory on Pumpkin Ridge’s Ghost
Creek Course.
She shared the first-round lead and had a
two-shot advantage after the second.
Lincicome shot 67, and Park had a 70.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) —LeBron
James squeezed his mom’s
hands, the way he did as a kid.
Moments before being honor-
ed again in his hometown, where
they still love him and always
will, James stood among family
members and friends. With the
days in this summer of summers
dwindling quickly, this was an-
other moment
to savor. So as
he waited to be
introduced,
James hugged
his mom, Glo-
ria, around the
neck, took out
his phone and
snapped their picture.
He was home.
“I know this place,” he said,
“and it knows me.”
Freshoff leadingthe U.S. men’s
team to a gold medal at the Lon-
don Olympics, James was
praised Sunday during a minor
league game for his recent bas-
ketball accomplishments — an
MVP award, NBA title and the
gold —and for giving back to Ak-
ron, where his “Wheels For Edu-
cation” initiative has provided in-
ner-city kids with supplies, pro-
grams, mentors, and above all,
hope.
“I was one of these kids,”
James said. “It means everything
to me to be able to give back. I
have a passion for it. I love seeing
kids smile, and for them to have
someone who can lead them. For
me to be in this position and be-
ing able to help and give back,
means a lot.”
James receiveda warmovation
from the crowd of 3,843 — more
than double the average attend-
ance —when he walked onto the
infield at Canal Park, home of the
Double-A Akron Aeros, during
the middle of the eighth inning
escorted by Akron Mayor Don
Plusquellic.
As James reached the area in
front of the pitcher’s mound, in-
fielders for the Reading Phillies
lined up on the grass between
first and second base and gawked
at the superstar.
It was also going according to
plan before a malfunctioning mi-
crophone caused several anxious
and awkward moments.
Plusquellic’s comments kept
cutting out over the ballpark’s
speaker system, allowing two an-
ti-James fans, one of them wear-
ing a Cleveland Browns jersey,
sitting a fewrows behind Akron’s
dugout toshout “traitor” andoth-
er insults at James, who seemed
unsure of what to do as the delay
dragged on and stadium person-
nel scrambled to find a new mi-
crophone.

A dip in the jet
stream the past
few days has
lowered our tem-
perature trend
to a few degrees
below normal.
The trough has
also allowed for
colder tempera-
tures aloft and
lower atmos-
pheric pressure.
This will sponsor
mostly cloudy
skies today with
showers and a
cool afternoon.
The low pressure
trough will per-
sist into
Wednesday with
enough instabili-
ty to keep a
shower in the
forecast each
afternoon.
Later in the
week the jet
stream will lift
north allowing
for more sun-
shine and
warmer temper-
atures into the
coming week-
end. So far, we
are having a
warmer than
normal August.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Expect showers and thunderstorms in much of the East today, with heavy rain
possibly affecting the Gulf Coast once again. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also develop
across the Desert Southwest and southern Rockies by this afternoon. More isolated thunderstorms

Dear Abby: My son
is a career soldier,
Army Rangers Air-
borne, and yes, I am
proud of him. The
greatest gift I have
been given started
with an idea con-
ceived by two high school students in
Massachusetts. The program is called
Cell Phones for Soldiers.
Old cellphones are donated and
then sold to a recycler, and with that
money phone cards are purchased
and donated to soldiers all over the
world. Eighty percent of calls home
by active-duty soldiers are made us-
ing these cards.
I have never heard of such a win-
win program, and the biggest winner
is the family member who answers
the phone and hears, “Hi, Mom. I love
you. I’m OK.”
— Dr. Lisa Morgan, a Very
Thankful Mom
Dear Dr. Morgan: Until I read your
letter, I hadn’t heard of the program,
either. It seems very worthwhile, and
something anyone who wants to sup-
port members of our military might
be interested in.
Founded in 2004, Cell Phones for
Soldiers is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) orga-
nization whose mission is to provide
free communication tools for military
serving overseas. There are more
than 15,000 collection sites across the
United States. Nearly 12,000 calling
cards are mailed each week, and since
2004, more than 150 million minutes
of talk time have been provided. Any-
one interested in learning more should
visit cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
Dear Abby: I’m 21, almost 22, and
I have just found out that it isn’t the
flu. I’m pregnant. The problem is, I
don’t know who the father is. I have
an “idea” of who he might be — but it
could be three other guys. I’m not in
a relationship with any of them. No.
1 and No. 2, I wouldn’t want my child
exposed to because of some of the
things they do.
I have heard that if a mother is on
state support and the parents aren’t
together, the father will have to pay
child support. Is that true? I don’t
know what to do.
— Lost And Confused in Missouri
Dear Lost And Confused: You are
going to need prenatal care to ensure
you have a healthy baby. Your local
Planned Parenthood health center
may be able to provide prenatal care
or refer you to other low-cost options.
Your next stop should be your
county department of social services
so that when your child arrives, you’ll
be able to feed it. I’m sure they will
want the father to contribute finan-
cially. Determining which candidate
is — or is not — the father is as
simple as getting a paternity test.
P.S. In the future, Planned Parent-
hood can provide you with reliable,
low-cost contraceptive services, so
the next time you become pregnant it
will be by choice and with a commit-
ted partner.
For an excellent guide to becom-
ing a better conversationalist and a
more sociable person, order “How
to Be Popular.” Send your name and
mailing address, plus check or money
order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear
Abby, Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Shipping and handling are included
in the price.)
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Old, recycled cellphones take on new life for soldiers calling home
To receive a collection of Abby’s most
memorable — and most frequently re-
quested — poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Not
everything you endeavor will be
something you do for the long
haul. Knowing this might take
the pressure off, freeing you to
follow curiosity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Right
now it’s better to be an expert
at one thing than to scatter your
knowledge in many directions.
It will pay to narrow your focus
and master a certain skill.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Action
doesn’t look like action now. It’s
occurring in your head, where
it should be occurring. Time will
count all your “thinking it over”
as progress.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When
you think about all the times
that something positive came
out of unexpected changes, it
will be easier for you to embrace
change and have faith that it is
happening for the good of all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your visual
sense is strong now, and you will
find pleasant ways to use it in
real time, in retrospection and in
prospection. You will have a won-
derful time seeing, remembering
and imagining.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Friends
and casual contacts make you
aware of a way in which you
might earn or save money. Invest
in learning. The more you know
the more control you’ll have over
your life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
timetable is very different from
that of a friend, and yet you’ll
be able to meet up and have a
grand time. This requires you to
relax and the other person to
speed up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Magnetism is an important part
of a relationship, but it’s not the
only thing that matters. Interact
on many levels, and you’ll be
able to bridge the inevitable
dips of attraction that happen in
every relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’re nice to the one who is
nice to you. You’re also nice to
the one who’s not, which proves
that being nice is who you are
and not what you do to get what
you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
future will be fundamentally dif-
ferent from the way it appears
in your mind’s eye, but this is
no reason to stop imagining it.
Doing so gives you focus.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your
nearest and dearest buddies
are highly suited to your humor
and personality. Today it shows.
You realize that when you were
choosing your friends, you did
an excellent job.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
and the fish for which your sign
is named have something in
common now. Neither of you is
very concerned about the future,
because you are managing what
the water brings you in this
moment.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20).
The serendipity starts imme-
diately. September places you
in opportunity’s path. You’ll
turn an ordinary situation into
an extraordinary moneymaker
within 10 weeks. Family news is
stellar in November. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 2, 39, 50 and 14.
