NANTICOKE — Kielbasa.
Fresh or smoked, it’s a staple
and favorite for many families in
the Wyoming Valley.
The distinct sausage is a tra-
dition for many a family, and
many kielbasa makers have
recipes that are as guarded with
the security given to national
secrets.
At Jerry’s Market in
Nanticoke, Jan Gerrity and her
brother Gerald are sixth-genera-
tion kielbasa makers.
When asked for details on the
recipe, Gerald politely declined.
“Even she doesn’t know it,”
Gerald said of his sister as he
prepared to make a batch of
smoked kielbasa on Friday.
The market on Main Street
was busy Friday with customers
purchasing meats, salads and, of
course, kielbasa.
“How’s your brother doing?”
Jan asked a customer, who told
her he was in Hawaii. “Do they
have kielbasa there?” she asked,
and the customer responded, “If
they do, it’s not as good as this.”
Gerrity said her grandfather
started making kielbasa decades
ago and the family has kept the
tradition alive. The first store
was in Dallas, then it moved to
Hunlock Creek before arriving
in Nanticoke 24 years ago. Jan
said they intend to continue
the family tradition after their
parents — Gerald and Joanne
Gerrity — retire.
“Many of our customers have
known me since I was a baby,”
Jan said.
Jerry’s recipe includes pork,
beef and ham, Jan said, but

CAIRO — Egyptian police fired
tear gas Sunday in an attempt to
free a guard from rioting detain-
ees, killing at least 36 as the coun-
try’s military leader vowed to tol-
erate no more violence after days
of clashes that killed nearly 900
people.
The deaths of the prisoners, cap-
tured during the fierce fighting in
recent days around Cairo’s Ramses
Square, came as Gen. Abdel-Fatah
el-Sissi also called for the inclu-
sion of Islamists in the govern-
ment. Meanwhile, security forces
detained Muslim Brotherhood
members in raids aimed at stop-
ping more planned rallies support-
ing ousted President Mohammed
Morsi — which the military-
backed government says fuels the
violent unrest.
The suspects killed were part of
a prison truck convoy of some 600
detainees heading to Abu Zaabal
prison in northern Egypt, security
officials told The Associated Press.
Detainees in one of the trucks
rioted and managed to capture a
police officer inside, the officials
said.

KINGSTON — A famil-
iar name will be on the
ballot in the fall for the
Luzerne County control-
ler’s race with the choice of
Carolee Medico Olenginski
to run as the Republican
candidate.
The county GOP’s execu-
tive committee Sunday
selected her to fill the spot
vacated by Walter Griffith
who resigned from the
office without explanation
earlier this month.
Medico Olenginski, 69,
will face Democrat Michelle
Bednar in the Nov. 5 gener-
al election.
With less than three
months until voters go the
polls, Medico Olenginski
did not believe she was at
a disadvantage and had to
catch up to Bednar.
“I think I’ve been cam-
paigning for the past
12 years,” Medico
Olenginski said. “I can’t go
to a store or restaurant that
people don’t thank me for
the work I did.”
She is in the last few
months of
her four-
year term
as protho-
notary, a
posi ti on
she was
elected to
in 2009.
She also
was elected to the office
in 1997, but lost a reelec-
tion in 2001 to Democrat
Jill Moran. The office was
eliminated when the home
rule charter formof govern-
ment took effect in 2012.
Since September 2012,
she has not worked in the
office and has continued
to receive her annual sal-
ary of $36,562 after county
Manager Robert Lawton
dismissed her over a dis-
pute regarding her respon-
sibilities under the newly
unified Division of Judicial
Services and Records.
She remained critical of
Lawton, saying, “Home
rule doesn’t mean a dicta-
torship.”

HARRISBURG — Penn
State may never be able
to fully shake off the Jerry
Sandusky child molestation
scandal ,
but news
that one
victim has
s e t t l e d
and other
c l a i m -
ants may
be soon
f o l l o w
marks a legal milestone
after almost a year of nego-
tiations.
Attorney Tom Kline said
Saturday that a 25-year-
old suburban Philadelphia
man known as “Victim 5”
in court filings had com-
pleted the agreement with
the university, the first to
come to terms with the uni-
versity that once employed
Sandusky as an assistant
football coach.
Another attorney, Mike
Boni, one of four lawyers
collectively representing
10 claimants — includ-
ing the young man whose
complaint triggered the
Sandusky criminal investi-
gation —said Sunday those
claims were also close to
being resolved.
“I’d be troubled if it didn’t
happen this week,” Boni
said. “We’re not signed off,
but we’re close.”
Another lawyer, Jeff
Anderson, said his two
cases are not that near to
being resolved.
“It’s still a work in prog-
ress,” Anderson told The
AssociatedPress onSunday.
“If somebody’s talkingabout
they have deals done, it’s not
us.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer
reported Saturday that 26
of 31 claims are close to
being settled, which would
validate the strategy used by
Penn State to compensate
Sandusky’s victims, said
Richard Serbin, an Altoona
lawyer who has represented
sex abuse victims for 25
years.
“I wouldbeverysurprised
if any of these cases ends up
in trial,” Serbin said. “They
may end up going forward
in litigation, but that does
not mean they will not be
resolved before getting to
the courthouse steps.”

SCRANTON — For four blissful days,
Scranton was the center of the jam-band
universe as the second annual Peach Music
Festival rocked the Toyota Pavilion at
Montage Mountain from Thursday through
Sunday.
The festival, hosted by the Allman
Brothers Band, was held on three stages
at the Toyota Pavilion and the adjacent
Montage Mountain water park as more
than 45 acts presented more than 39 hours
of near continuous music. Festivities began
Thursday evening at 6:45 as five bands
played the free “kick-off party” and ended
about 7:35 p.m. Sunday as The Black
Crowes finished up its two-hour set.
In between, the crowd was treated to two
sets each from the Allmans and Bob Weir
and his band RatDog, plus a solo acoustic
set by Weir, the former Grateful Deadguitar-
ist and singer-songwriter, and performances
by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Gov’t
Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, the Dirty Dozen
Brass Band, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe,
Railroad Earth, Tauk, Floodwood, and
Royal Southern Brotherhood – and those
were just the acts on the main stage.
Campsites at the facility were completely
sold out and buses shuttled other concert-
goers to nearby hotels.
Artistically, it featured many once-in-a-
lifetime (at least in Scranton) collaborations
between artists, including Potter joining
RatDog for a gorgeous “Dear Prudence” and
“I Know You Rider” on Friday, Weir joining
the Allman Brothers Band on Saturday for
“Good Morning Little Schoolgirl” and Weir
joining The Black Crowes on Sunday for
a knockout rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Just
Like Tom Thumb’s Blues.”
In addition to their own songs, the artists
also dug deeply into the catalogs of such
artists as the aforementioned Beatles, Jimi
Hendrix (the ABB did “1983…[A Merman
I Should Turn To Be]” on Saturday), Traffic
(Greensky Bluegrass did “Light Up or Leave
Me Alone” and the Crowes did “Medicated
Goo,” both on Sunday), and Elvis Presley
(Potter and her band did “Mystery Train”
on Friday, which happened to be the 36th
anniversary of the King’s death).
After Potter and the Nocturnals wowed
the crowd on Friday with tasty renditions
of “Cocaine” and Neil Young’s “Down By
The River” plus a few of its originals such
as “Paris (Ooh La La),” Weir took the stage
for the first time with a 15-minute ver-
sion of “Easy Answers” and Grateful Dead
favorites such as “Loose Lucy.” His set on
Saturday was even better as he began with
Dead staples “Jack Straw,” “West L.A.
Fadeaway” and “Cassidy,” then wandered
through some obscure RatDog tunes before
finishing strongly with “Not Fade Away” as
the crowd sang him off stage, playing that
familiar Bo Diddley beat on the chair backs
in unison.
The Allman Brothers Band were cook-
ing both nights, hitting home runs on
Friday with “Midnight Rider,” “Revival,”
“Statesboro Blues,” “One Way Out” and
a set-ending 30-minute rendition of “In
Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” The only nega-
tive Friday was the meandering, eight-min-
ute drum solo in the middle of “Reed.”

LOS ANGELES — “Lee
Daniels’ The Butler” is serv-
ing up success at the box
office.
Starring Forest Whitaker
as a longtime White House
butler and Oprah Winfrey as
his boozy wife, the Weinstein
Co. biopic debuted in the top
spot with $25 million, accord-
ing to studio estimates Sunday.
But the weekend’s three other
major new releases, including
the action romp “Kick-Ass 2,”
failed to find traction with fans.
“We expected to do well,
but we didn’t expect to do
this well,” said Erik Lomis,
president of distribution
and home entertainment for
Weinstein Co., adding that
“The Butler” is the company’s
first No. 1 debut since 2009’s
“Inglourious Basterds.”
Even with a full slate of
newcomers, last week’s top
movies claimed the sec-
ond and third spots in the
box-office race. The Jason
Sudeikis-Jennifer Aniston
Warner Bros. comedy, “We’re
the Millers,” held onto second
place in its second week of
release with $17.78 million,
while last week’s No. 1, Sony’s
“Elysium,” dropped to third
with $13.6 million.
“It was tough if you were
any other film opening other
than ‘The Butler,’” said Paul
Dergarabedian of box-office
tracker Hollywood.com.
“Kick-Ass 2,” Universal’s
tale of everyday teenagers
who dress up as superhero
crime-fighters, opened in
fourth place with $13.56 mil-
lion. Open Road’s Steve Jobs
biopic, “Jobs,” debuted in sev-
enth place with $6.7 million.
And Relativity’s “Paranoia,”
which stars Harrison Ford,
Gary Oldman and Liam
Hemsworth, didn’t crack the
top 12.
“Maybe it should have
been Oprah Winfrey’s ‘Jobs,’”
Dergarabedian said. “It would
have had a better shot.”
Apart from Winfrey’s
unmatched marketing power,
“The Butler” also marked
the mogul’s return to the big
screen for the first time since
1998’s “Beloved.”
“She was a significant fac-
tor” in the film’s success this
weekend, Lomis said. “Her
publicity machine really
kicked into high gear, and
the entire cast, Lee Daniels
and Forest Whitaker, they
delivered a quality film and
a great campaign.”
The summer typically
belongs to superheroes and
big-action fare, which is why
Weinstein chose to release
“The Butler” now.
“It’s different from pretty
much everything else in the
marketplace,” Lomis said.
“That really seemed to help.”
But the power of Oprah can-
not be underestimated.
“It’s stronger than anything
else,” Dergarabedian said.
“An Oprah Winfrey endorse-
ment virtually guarantees you
a hit.”
Estimated ticket sales for
Friday through Sunday at
U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Hollywood.

international numbers are

Luzerne County Council
members are devoting this
week to interviewing appli-
cants who want to finish Walter
Griffith’s county controller
term the rest of the year.
Applications are due 4:30
p.m. tomorrow, and council
will meet at 7 p.m. in the coun-
cil meeting room at the court-
house to discuss how they’re
going to structure the public
interviews of applicants.
Council members have
booked three nights of
interviews — Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday — start-
ing at 6 p.m., though all three
nights may not be needed.
Council plans to select some-
one at the Aug. 27 meeting.
• Alice Coffman, 47, a cer-
tified public accountant who
has owned her own account-
ing/tax business — Coffman
& Associates in Conyngham
— since 1996, said she is
c o n s i d e r i n g
applying for the
remaining con-
troller term.
Coffman, who
also has worked
as an auditor,
was among six
Re p u b l i c a n s
who ran for
county control-
ler in the May
2009 primary,
when Griffith
won the nomination.
• The county’s most veteran
employee — assessor’s office
bookkeeper, Phyllis Thomas —
retired last month after 46 years.
Assessment Director Tony
Alu said working with Thomas
was a “pleasure.”
“She will be very missed.
You can never really replace
someone with her experience,
but we wish her the best life
has to offer,” Alu said.
With Thomas’ departure,
information technology spe-
cialist Bob Connors, who
started in 1971, is now the
county employee with the
most seniority, followed by
payroll coordinator Patty
Kopeck (1972) and county
Planning Zoning Director
Adrian Merolli (1972).
• Eleven employees were
hired in July, according to
county Manager Robert
Lawton’s latest personnel
report: Patricia Gozikowski,
aging senior center services
manager, $34,113; Cynthia
Howe, aging care supervi-
sor, $34,113; Stephen Elston,
mental health caseworker,
$32,116; Ashley Ferretti,
prothonotary clerk, $22,500;
Brian Travis, part-time sheriff
deputy, $11.50/hour; and six
911 dispatchers at $25,500
each — Janice Davis, Roseann
Garrison, Kristy Kalafut,
James Grady Jr., Jennifer Paull
and Cindie Zupancic.
• The county has wrapped
up interviews for the vacant
911 executive director and
chief engineer positions, and
job offers should be extended
shortly to the chosen appli-
cants, said county Operational
Services Division Head
Christopher Belleman.
Three engineer and two 911
director applicants were inter-
viewed, he said.
• County Court
Administrator Michael
Shucosky said he has recom-
mended the administration
create a task force to discuss
security in all county offices
in light of the recent shoot-
ing at a municipal meeting in
Monroe County.
County Councilman Eugene
Kelleher told his council col-
leagues at Tuesday’s meeting
that his wife’s first cousin and
her husband were both shot at
the Monroe County meeting.
His wife’s cousin is recovering
in the hospital, and her hus-
band was killed.
“It really puts things in per-
spective,” Kelleher said. “I
respect people’s rights to dis-
agree, and I take input to heart
and think it over. But can’t we
be civil the way we talk to one
another?”
MONROE TWP.
W-B woman
dies in head-on
A Wilkes-Barre woman was killed
Saturday night in a head-on collision
on Route 29 in Wyoming County, state
police said.
Dolores Grabko, 84, was driving
a 2001 Ford Focus north at approxi-
mately 8:15 p.m. and crossed into the
southbound lane while negotiating a
curve near Voyle Road, state police
said. Her car struck a 1997 Ford
Ranger pickup truck driven by Terry
L. Palmer, 27, of Tunkhannock, state
police said.
Neither driver was wearing a seat
belt, state police said. Palmer suffered
moderate injuries.
The car and truck sustained heavy
damage. A section of the roadway was
shut down and traffic was detoured
around the crash.

gating the report of a missing 17-year-
old girl.

UGI donates
to frefghters
Firefighters from the Northmoreland
Township Volunteer Fire Department
recently trained on a vacant house
donated by UGI Energy Services.
Firefighters used the structure, which
had been purchased by UGIES as part
of its Auburn pipeline project, to prac-
tice techniques to help prepare for real
emergencies.
UGIES recently distributed a total
donation of $40,000 among seven
fire departments in Northeastern
Pennsylvania to assist with emergency
preparedness. The fire departments
that received donations serve the
municipalities along the approximate
30-mile Auburn pipeline route in
Wyoming and Luzerne counties.
“UGI is a local company and we have
employees who are volunteer firefight-
ers. We appreciate the vital services
they provide their communities, and
we recognize the need to be prepared,”
said Kevin Kelleher, manager for
UGIES.

Council quizzing hopefuls for controller
More than 25 DUI ofenders and 3 wanted felons caught
WILKES-BARRE — “Operation nighthawk,” a
two-day state police driving under the influence
training and enforcement program, kicked off on
Friday, netting a significant number of DUI and
other arrests.
On Saturday night, about 50 officers from the state
police as well as some local municipalities met at the
Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency
on Water Street in Wilkes-Barre to review the results
of the operation, share ideas and learn about new
technologies for helping to test DUI drivers.
Capt. James Degnan, head of the state police
troop P in Wyoming, said more than 100 citations
were issued on Friday night alone as the result of the
“saturation” of Luzerne County.
More than 25 DUI offenders and three wanted fel-
ons were nabbed, he said. A long list of other driving
citations resulting from operator error including tex-
ting while driving were issued, he added.
“It was a good night for Luzerne County,” Degnan
said.
He emphasized that “operation nighthawk” focus-
es on improving safety for the citizens of Luzerne
County.
“We really wish the DUI drivers just called taxi-
cabs,” Degnan said.
In comparison with other counties in Pennsylvania,
Luzerne County is not above the averages for DUIs,
however, a persistent challenge is faced by local
police to keep the roads safe, he added.
Family members of Trooper Kenton Iwaniec, a
24-year-old who was killed on his way home from
work in 2008 when hit head-on by a drunken driver
in Chester County, attended Saturday’s meeting to
discuss ways to help raise awareness.
“The DUI is a totally preventable crime,” said
Acacia Houck, of Scotdale, Pa., the late trooper’s
sister. His parents, Ken and Debby Iwaniec, of
Ligionier, Pa., were also in attendance.
The family started the Trooper Iwaniec Foundation
to help law enforcement agencies and schools all
over the state get the word out about the dangers of
driving drunk.
“We have to change the attitudes of drivers,”
Houck said. “They need to understand they are
impaired after the first drink and that their car can
become a weapon of destruction,” she said.
“Drivers need to make smart choices,” she said.
The foundation raises about $100,000 each year
and uses that money to take its message out to the
public, she said. It also donates portable breathalyz-
ers valued at up to $700 each to police departments
and other law enforcement agencies to help them
deal with drunken vehicle operators, Houck said.
“We are doing this as part of his (Iwaniec’s) legacy.
He died while trying to keep families safe on the
road,” she said.

On a crusade against DUI
RALPH NARDONE
Times Leader Correspondent
‘Today’ internship geared toward tomorrow
Casey Waslasky can tell you if NBC’s
snarky comedy “30 Rock” is accurate in
depicting total chaos at the network’s
Manhattan headquarters.
Waslasky, a junior at King’s College,
on Friday finished a summer intern-
ship with “Today” and confirmed that
in the TV business things can get wild,
but Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin’s foolish
antics never appear on the real produc-
tion floor.
With nine other interns, he was sur-
prised to see how much he and the oth-
ers contributed to producing the morn-
ing news.
“You think ‘intern,’ you think getting
coffee and doing typical intern duties.
It’s completely different,” Waslasky
said. “I was shocked by how much they
rely on the interns.”
Through the experience, he fetched
only one cup of coffee, but it was volun-
tary. Matt Damon, the star of the Jason
Bourne trilogy, was a guest on “Today”
and he wanted Starbucks.
“For future reference, he gets a large
latte with skim milk. If he’s ever walk-
ing through Wilkes-Barre and he needs
a coffee, you’ll know what to do,”
Waslasky said.
Waslasky is studying math communi-
cation at King’s, a conglomerate degree
of advertising, graphics and broadcast
production. He said it’s a good degree
to help him prepare for a career in the
entertainment world.
Most of his fellow interns at “Today”
were from top-notch private schools
such as Yale, Harvard, Brown and
George Washington universities. He
said he was proud to know he didn’t
get accepted for his connections to
big-name universities, but rather for
his determination and willingness to
dig deep into the bowels of a Google
search for the hiring manager’s phone
number and call her directly.
For housing, he found an apartment
to sublet for summer, in Hell’s Kitchen,
about seven blocks from the studio
where he worked every day. Other than
going away for senior week with his
friends, Waslasky had never lived away
from home. He said the experience was
enlightening.
“(It was the) first time doing my
own laundry. It was definitely a wake-
up call, having to come home and not
finding any food in the refrigerator,” he
said.
On Fridays when “Today” brought in
performers such as Jimmy Buffett and
Luke Bryan, the interns started the
day around 4 or 5 a.m. A driver picked
them up for an early start for their jobs
of handing out VIP passes and helping
the guest stars in the dressing room.
Interns also helped producers research
for news segments.
Waslasky said the entertainment
business is most appealing to him
because he was always learning some-
thing new.
“That’s what I loved. It was never the
same thing twice,” he said.

Presentation on Saturday night.
King’s College junior

behind the scenes
WASHINGTON — Almost
as soon as George Zimmerman
was pronounced “not guilty”
in a Florida courtroom, the cry
went up.
The U.S. government must
get “justice for Trayvon,”
insisted protesters angry
about the fatal shooting of
unarmed black teenager
Trayvon Martin. The call will
resound again later this month
through events marking the
50th anniversary of the March
on Washington.
Attorney General Eric
Holder, the first black man
to lead the nation’s law
enforcement, says the Justice
Department is investigating.
Why would the feds con-
sider stepping into a state
murder case?
The federal government has
claimed its power of protecting
civil rights against violence as
far back as the Reconstruction
era. Empowered by constitu-
tional amendments and early
civil rights laws passed after
the Civil War, the government
sought to protect newly freed
blacks and their voting rights,
mostly from the Ku Klux Klan.
But then court decisions,
the end of Reconstruction
and the rise of Jim Crow laws
essentially “defanged” the fed-
eral government of its power
to police civil rights when
state and local governments
would not, said Darrell Miller,
a Duke University law profes-
sor.
It wasn’t until the 1960s civil
rights movement — exempli-
fied by the historic Aug. 28,
1963, march — that new laws
began strengthening the fed-
eral role.
Now, theJusticeDepartment
is expected to pursue civil
rights prosecutions. But in
many cases that inflame racial
passions, federal prosecutors
don’t find the evidence needed
to support civil rights charges.
As the burgeoning civil
rights movement gathered
force in the 1960s, demonstra-
tors were brutalized and killed,
sometimes at the hands of law
officers. Many slayings remain
unsolved. But in some cases
where local authorities failed
to go after the attackers or all-
white juries refused to convict,
the federal government moved
in with civil rights charges.
The strategy won federal
convictions in some racist kill-
ings that had jolted the nation,
among them the 1964 slayings
of threeyoungcivil rights work-
ers — James Chaney, who was
black, and Andrew Goodman
and Michael Schwerner, who
were white — that would later
inspire the movie “Mississippi
Burning.”
These cases helped build
public support for strength-
ening federal law enforce-
ment’s hand through a series
of civil rights laws. Notably,
the Civil Rights Act of 1968
made it a U.S. crime to use
threats or violence to interfere
with someone’s employment,
housing, travel or any of sev-
eral other federally protected
rights because of that person’s
race, religion, color or national
origin.
SAN DIEGO
Petition drive to recall
San Diego mayor begins
A campaign to oust embattled San
Diego Mayor Bob Filner began Sunday,
as volunteers armed with clipboards
and petitions fanned out to collect thou-
sands of signatures needed to authorize
a recall election.
More than a dozen women have
publicly accused Filner, a Democrat,
of making inappropriate statements or
sexual advances. The 70-year-old former
congressman has resisted numerous
calls to resign.
He is set to return to work this week
after undergoing behavior therapy.
Recall organizers say they have raised
more than $100,000 so far and more
than 1,100 people have signed up to
volunteer.
MOSCOW
Minister: Anti-gay laws
won’t impact Olympics
Russia’s law banning gay “propa-
ganda” for minors won’t infringe on the
private lives of athletes and spectators
at next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi,
the country’s sports minister said
Sunday.
But Vitaly Mutko’s comments on the
final day of the athletics world cham-
pionships leave it open as to whether
Olympic athletes and fans could be
subject to prosecution if they make
statements that could be considered
propaganda.
In a news conference on Sunday,
Mutko appeared to liken homosexual
relations to substance abuse.
“We want to protect our children
whose psyches have not formed from
the propaganda of drug use, drunken-
ness and non-traditional sexual rela-
tions,” Mutko said.
Homosexuality was decriminalized
in Russia in 1993 and Mutko, along
with other Russian officials, have been
at pains to emphasize that the law does
not penalize gay orientation or activity.

Bear shot and killed; link
to attack sought
Conservation officers have shot a
shot and killed a black bear and plan
tests to see if it’s the animal that chased
and mauled a 12-year-old girl as she
jogged on her grandfather’s wooded
land in northern Michigan.
A bear clawed Abby Wetherell in the
thigh Thursday. The site is in about 35
miles south-southeast of Traverse City
in Wexford County’s Haring Township.
Abby screamed, and her father
and a neighbor scared the bear off.
The Michigan Department of Natural
Resources says she left the hospital
Sunday.
The department says a man called
late Saturday to say he shot a bear that
was threatening him.
It says two officers tracked and killed
the wounded bear early Sunday in
Selma Township, about 2 miles from
where Abby was attacked.

The announcement followed an
agreement last week to begin negotia-

UN chemical
arms experts
arrive in
Syrian capital
DAMASCUS, Syria — After
months of drawn-out negotiations,
United Nations experts arrived in
Damascus on Sunday to begin
their investigation into the pur-
ported use of chemical weapons in
Syria’s civil war.
The rebels, along with the U.S.
and other Western powers, have
accused President Bashar Assad’s
regime of carrying out the alleged
chemical attacks, while the Syrian
government and Russia have
blamed the opposition. Nearly
six months after the weapons of
mass destruction were first alleg-
edly employed on the battlefield,
definitive proof remains elusive.
The U.N. team that arrived in
Damascus on Sunday is tasked
with determining whether chemi-
cal weapons have been used in the
conflict, and if so which ones. But
the mission’s mandate does not
extend to establishing who was
responsible for an attack, which
has led some observers to ques-
tion the overall value of the probe.
The 20-member U.N. del-
egation, led by Swedish chemical
weapons expert Ake Sellstrom,
checked into a five-star hotel
upon arrival in central Damascus.
Plainclothes police officers imme-
diately whisked them away from a
crush of reporters and cameraman
waiting in the lobby.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky
said the team will begin its work
on Monday.
The investigators are expected
to visit three sites where chemi-
cal weapons attacks allegedly
occurred: the village of Khan al-
Assal just west of the embattled
northern city of Aleppo and two
other locations that have not been
disclosed.
Syria is said to have one of the
world’s largest stockpiles of chemi-
cal weapons, including mustard
gas and the nerve agent sarin.
There are concerns that the Assad
regime might use them on a large
scale, transfer some of them to
the Lebanese militant Hezbollah
group or that the chemical agents
could fall into the hands of al-Qai-
da-affiliated militants and other
extremists among the rebels.

Witnesses recall accident that’s left a death toll of 39, over 80 missing in Philippines
CEBU, Philippines — As the MV
Thomas Aquinas cruised toward Cebu
city in the central Philippines, navy
marshal Richard Pestillos prepared
for a brief stop while some passengers
watched a band and others soaked in
the night breeze on the deck.
Then the scene turned chaotic when
the ferry, with 870 passengers and crew,
and a cargo ship collided late Friday, rip-
ping a hole in its hull, knocking out its
power and causing it to list before rap-
idly sinking as people screamed, accord-
ing to Pestillos and other witnesses.
“The sea was very calm and we
could already see the lights at the pier,”
Pestillos told The Associated Press on
Sunday by telephone.
“Then very suddenly … there was
a loud bang then the grating sound of
metal being peeled off,” he said.
Coast guard officials said at least 39
died and more than 80 were missing
in the latest deadly sea accident in the
Philippines, which happened 350 miles
south of Manila.
Frequent storms, badly maintained
vessels and weak enforcement of safety
regulations have been blamed for many
of the accidents, including in 1987
when the ferry Dona Paz sank after col-
liding with a fuel tanker, killing more
than 4,341 people in the world’s worst
peacetime maritime disaster.
Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III
said 751 passengers and crew of the
Thomas Aquinas were rescued. There
were no signs of additional survivors
late Sunday, although Davide told
reporters that he had not given up hope.
Pestillos, one of several people praised
for saving others in the accident, said
he distributed life jackets and launched
life rafts before creating his own flota-
tion device by tying three life jackets to
his navy service rifle.
As the ferry sank, Pestillos said he fell
into water that reeked of oil and was hit
by a falling life boat. He said he gave his
homemade flotation device to a woman
who needed it to stay afloat.
He said he lost sight of her when he
went to help seven others, including two
toddlers, toward an overturned life boat.
Pestillos said rescuers found his rifle
still tied to the life jackets, but it was not
clear what happened to the woman.
“I’mreally praying that she also made it
to the shore alive,” he said.
Cebu coast guard chief Commodore
William Melad said there were 870
people on the ferry, including 754 pas-
sengers and 116 crew, after collating
records of hospitals, rescuers and the
ferry owner.
Coast guard deputy chief Rear Adm.
Luis Tuason said some of the missing
could still be trapped in the sunken ferry,
which has been leaking oil.
Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya
said the cargo ship was leaving the Cebu
pier when it smashed into right side near
the rear of the ferry which was arriving
from southern Agusan del Sur province
and making a brief stop in Cebu before
proceeding to Manila.
Outbound and incoming ships are
assigned separate routes in the narrow
channel leading to the busy Cebu pier. It
is not known if one of the vessels strayed
into the wrong lane, coast guard officials
said.

Prosecutors getting to motive in Fort Hood trial
FORT HOOD, Texas —
The prosecutors pursuing the
death penalty against the Army
psychiatrist accused in the
2009 Fort Hood shooting ram-
page will soon begin trying to
answer a difficult but key ques-
tion: Why did Maj. Nidal Hasan
attack his fellow soldiers in the
worst mass shooting ever on a
U.S. military base?
Both sides offered a few
hints so far. Although he’s been
mostly silent in the courtroom,
Hasan used his brief open-
ing statement to tell jurors he
had “switched sides” in what
he called America’s war with
Islam and he later leaked docu-
ments to the media showing he
believed he could be a martyr.
Military prosecutors opened
the trial by saying they would
show that Hasan felt he had
a “jihad duty,” referring to a
Muslimtermfor a religious war
or struggle. After calling almost
80 witnesses over two weeks,
prosecutors said Friday they
would begin tackling the ques-
tion this week.
How much they can say to
jurors, however, may be limited
by the judge. Even though plen-
ty of information about Hasan’s
extremist views has been pub-
lished outside the courtroom
since the rampage, the 13 mili-
tary officers on the jury said
they had not closely followed
the case and wouldn’t read news
coverage during the trial.
Prosecutors asked the mili-
tary judge, Col. Tara Osborn,
on Friday to approve evidence
and several witnesses to
explain Hasan’s mindset. Such
evidence includes references to
Hasan Akbar, a Muslim soldier
sentenced to death for attack-
ing fellow soldiers in Kuwait
during the 2003 Iraq invasion.
Prosecutor Col. Steve
Henricks told Osborn that
Hasan had shown interest in
Akbar’s case and prosecutors
wanted to prove Hasan’s attack
was a “copycat.” The skeptical
judge told Henricks she didn’t
want to hold a “mini-trial” of
Akbar and asked how he would
introduce the case to jurors.
Henricks said he planned to
call a prosecutor to discuss its
basics, but he didn’t identify the
prosecutor. Akbar was prosecut-
ed by Col. Mike Mulligan, the
lead prosecutor in Hasan’s trial.
Henricks has alleged that
besides his so-called “jihad
duty,” Hasan was looking for
ways to get out of deploying,
and he said witnesses could
include former classmates who
heard himtalking about suicide
bombers.
Prosecutors also said they
wanted to introduce three
emails, but they didn’t disclose
details. The FBI has said Hasan
sent numerous emails starting
in December 2008 to Anwar
al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born
Islamic cleric killed by a drone
strike in Yemen in 2011.
Osborn promised to rule
Monday on what prosecutors
could present.
While prosecutors clearly
have an advantage in howmuch
evidence is on their side, the
13-officer jury must be unani-
mous in convicting Hasan of
premeditated murder and for
approving a death sentence.

MARYCLAIRE DALE
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — No
one may ever knowBarbara
Mancini’s intentions when
she allegedly handed her
dying 93-year-old father a
bottle of morphine at his
central Pennsylvania home.
Did she want to relieve
his pain? Help him end his
life? Both?
Joe Yourshaw died four
days later at a hospital.
That was after a hospice
nurse makinga call to check
on Yourshaw arrived at the
home a short time later and
called 911, despite a Do
Not Resuscitate order.
In the interim, Yourshaw
was given a drug anti-
dote, awoke agitated over
his hospitalization, and
became upset when told
his daughter might be
in trouble, according to
Mancini’s supporters.
“Don’t hurt Barbara,”
he cried, according to
Compassion & Choices, a
Denver-based group that
supports “death with dig-
nity” laws and has advo-
cated for Mancini since her
arrest in June.
A trim, silver-haired
hospital nurse from
Philadelphia, she is just the
latest person caught in the
crosshairs of the nation’s
assisted-suicide debate.
While Oregon,
Washington, Montana and
Vermont allow at least
some types of assisted sui-
cide, and another half-doz-
en states have considered
it, most states ban the prac-
tice, and a small number of
people are prosecuted in
the U.S. each year.
“She told me that her
father wanted to die and
she gave him the mor-
phine,” Pottsville Police
Capt. Steve Durkin testi-
fied at Mancini’s prelimi-
nary hearing this month,
when a judge in Schuylkill
County upheld the assist-
ed suicide charge.
Mancini, a 57-year-old
wife, mother and daughter
is now heading for trial,
while supporters attack
state Attorney General
Kathleen Kane for pursu-
ing the case.

White House travel director keeps entourage moving
NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press
VINEYARD HAVEN,
Mass. — Even on a sum-
mer family vacation,
President Barack Obama
is followed by an entou-
rage whose behind-the-
scenes movements are
juggled by a woman who
was born into politics and
has been with him since
his Chicago days.
Ashley Tate-Gilmore
heads the White House
Travel Office, a five-
person operation that
handles precise logistics
behind every presiden-
tial trip. The details usu-
ally go unnoticed by the
public, unless something
goes horribly wrong.
Tate-Gilmore not only
acts as a high-stakes trav-
el agent for White House
press and staff, but a
mini-ambassador who is
often the first to arrive at
presidential destinations.
She’s used to being
underestimated, a
29-year-old woman who
is quick to laugh and
signs off every email with
a smiley face. She said it
was clear from her first
meeting with foreign offi-
cials when she took over
the job three years ago
that they weren’t expect-
ing to take directions
from a woman who looks
so young.
“People are like, ‘Who
are we meeting with?’
I was like, ‘Me.’ And
mouths dropped,” she
said in an interview.
But anyone who thinks
Tate-Gilmore is just a
sweet young thing is in
for a surprise. She was
raised in the rough-and-
tumble world of Chicago
politics — her mother got
pregnant while working
on Harold Washington’s
campaign to become the
city’s first black mayor
and raised her daughter
as a single parent on the
city’s South Side with
help from her own moth-
er.
By Washington’s re-
election campaign, little
Ashley was coming along
to help. “At 4 years old,
Ashley was stuffing enve-
lopes,” said her mother,
Desiree Tate.
Tate-Gilmore lives
out of a bag, and her
job requires that she be
highly organized and
think on her feet as she
juggles planning for mul-
tiple White House trips.
The eight-day vacation
to Martha’s Vineyard
required her to help set
up a White House opera-
tion on the island at peak
season, when accommo-
dations are hard to find.
She helped reserve rooms
for media, staff, Secret
Service and others sup-
porting the presidential
operation in so many
places across the island
that she’s lost count —
booking rental homes and
even a trailer for staff to
work out of when there
were no more hotel rooms
to be had.
Meanwhile, from the
island she’s dealing with
visa applications for
Obama’s visit to Russia
next month and setting
up Obama’s bus tour next
week to New York and
Pennsylvania. And she is
planning to travel over-
seas next week to make
arrangements for a future
presidential trip.
Tate-Gilmore has
learned to be no-non-
sense in her dealings with
local officials, hotels and
venues Obama will visit.
In preparation for his trip
to Africa earlier this year,
members of the White
House advance party suf-
fered bug bites staying
in the press hotel. Tate-
Gilmore demanded the
hotel hire an extermina-
tor — and take along a
photographer who could
email her pictures back
in Washington to prove
all the rooms had been
fumigated. When a radio
reporter contracted food
poisoning on the stop in
Tanzania, Tate-Gilmore
insisted on staying over-
night in the hospital and
worked with doctors to
ensure she got proper
care.
Reporters, photogra-
phers and others with
the news media pay their
share of expenses when
they accompany the pres-
ident. In recent years, the
size of the media entou-
rage has dropped as some
outlets have determined
that the tab is just too
high. With media outlets
feeling increasing finan-
cial pressure, control-
ling costs is a big part of
Tate-Gilmore’s job as she
weighs fees for rooms and
travel.
“The kind of glitz and
glamour that people think
we bring with the White
House — they will roll us
if they can,” Tate-Gilmore
said.
But costs are not the
only consideration — the
White House has to deal
with security and access
issues as well for its press
corps. If reporters were
left to travel commer-
cially on their own, they
would never be able to
keep up with Air Force
One flying around the
globe and get in and out
of the president’s security
bubble.
The press charters
a plane that mimics
Air Force One’s route.
Reporters and news crews
stay in hotels accessible
to presidential events.
And they ride in buses
that often have police
or military escorts to
whisk them through secu-
rity checkpoints. All the
costs are covered by the
traveling media, but the
arrangements are coordi-
nated by the White House
Travel Office as under
previous presidents.
Tate-Gilmore volun-
teered on Obama’s U.S.
Senate campaign in 2003
while home in Chicago
from a break as a psychol-
ogy student at Howard
University. Soon she was
hired for a paid position
managing other volun-
teers. After Obama’s elec-
tion, she was one of the
first hires in his Senate
office and eventually
worked as his executive
assistant.
When Obama moved to
the White House, Tate-
Gilmore came along as an
associate manager in the
Travel Office under direc-
tor Peter Newell, who
said he recommend her to
take over when he left in
September 2010. He said
her experience with the
president, her knowledge
of press travel and her
relationships throughout
the White House made
her up to the task even
though she was 26 at the
time.
“What the job required,
Ashley had,” Newell said.
“You need to be a people
person and be able to be
friendly. Ashley is good
at engaging people, and
she has a great sense of
humor. But she also has
a firm backbone, and she
can be tough.”

GUANTANAMO BAY
NAVAL BASE, Cuba — As
the U.S. renews its effort
to close the Guantanamo
Bay prison, it will soon
begin reconsidering the
fate of prisoners such as
Mohammed al-Shimrani.
The 38-year-old Saudi
is in a special category
among the 166 prisoners at
Guantanamo. He is one of
nearly 50 men who a gov-
ernment task force decided
were too dangerous to
release but who can’t be
prosecuted, in some cases
because proceedings could
reveal sensitive informa-
tion.
While the rest of the pris-
oners have been cleared for
eventual release, transfer
or prosecution, al-Shimrani
and the others can only
guess at their fate.
“The allegations against
my client are no more
serious than many, many
Saudis who have been sent
home,” New York-based
attorney Martha Rayner
said of al-Shimrani. “It just
baffles me.”
The Pentagon says the
men in the indefinite deten-
tion category are held
under international laws of
war until the “end of hos-
tilities,” whenever that may
be. As a group, they are
one of the chief hurdles to
President Barack Obama’s
attempts to close the deten-
tion center on the U.S. base
in Cuba.
For the most part, they
have been accused of
being al-
Qaida and
Ta l i b a n
f i ght ers ,
c o u r i -
ers and
r e c r u i t -
ers. After
more than
a decade,
their law-
yers say,
it’s time to
let them
go.
T h e i r
l a w y e r s

b e g a n
receiving notifications that
intelligence officials from
“various U.S. government
agencies” would begin
reviewing the detention of
their clients to determine
whether it was still neces-
sary to hold them.
A Defense Department
spokesman, Army Lt. Col.
Joseph Todd Breasseale,
said the date for the first
hearing hasn’t been set.
Details of how the panels
will be conducted —wheth-
er, for example, lawyers for
the men will be allowed
to be present or can only
appear by videoconference
— have not been disclosed.
Rayner, a professor at
Fordham University School
of Law in New York, said
she is hopeful because her
client has family to receive
him back in Saudi Arabia,
and a government capable
of providing any security
assurances the U.S. might
need.
“I am going into this with
an open mind,” she said.
Many who have long
pushed for the closure of the
prison say the U.S. needs
to act fast because the legal
premise for their indefinite
detention will evaporate
when the U.S. pulls its
troops out of Afghanistan
in 2014, effectively ending
the war that prompted the
opening of Guantanamo in
January 2002.
“Our credibility is
strained to begin with, but
whatever is left is going to
be sorely harmed if we con-
tinue to detain people after
the rationale has expired,”
said Morris “Moe” Davis,
a retired Air Force colonel
who served two years as
the chief prosecutor for the
Guantanamo military com-
missions.
The men in the indefi-
nite detention category
include three Saudis, al-
Shimrani among them,
who were held back as doz-
ens of fellow citizens were
sent to a rehabilitation
program in their country.
It also includes two
Kuwaitis, Faez al-Kandari
and Fawzi al-Odah, who
have been accused of being
part of the terrorist group
and are being held even
though Kuwait has built
a rehabilitation center for
them that sits idle.
Also on the list are sev-
eral Afghans who officials
have said are possible can-
didates for a prisoner swap
with the Taliban involving
an American POW, Army
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl of
Idaho.
Al-Shimrani, who
worked as a teacher in
Saudi Arabia, was accused
of training with al-Qaida
and fighting against the
Northern Alliance and pos-
sibly being a bodyguard for
Osama bin Laden. Rayner
argues there is no longer
any legal or security justifi-
cation for holding him.
Most of the government’s
court filings on him are
sealed.
In general, however, the
reason the government
often opted not to pros-
ecute men on the indefi-
nite list was because their
capture involved aid from
foreign governments that
did not want their assis-
tance disclosed or because
U.S. authorities used tech-
nological capabilities they
did not want to publicize,
said Davis, the former chief
prosecutor.
“It wasn’t that there
wasn’t good evidence; it
was an inability to use that
evidence,” he said.
Air Force Lt. Col. Barry
Wingard, a military law-
yer for al-Kandari, who is
accused of producing al-
Qaida propaganda, insists
there is a lack of evidence.
“If the government could
successfully prosecute these
guys, they would,” he said.
“But they can’t and they
won’t.”
The U.S. began using
Guantanamo to hold
“enemy combatants” in
the chaotic early days of
the war in Afghanistan.
Al-Shimrani, captured
in Pakistan after fleeing
Afghanistan, was among
the first arrivals, a core
group who it was thought
would yield valuable intel-
ligence about al-Qaida.
He was eventually inter-
rogated at least 88 times,
according to court docu-
ments. The prison, mean-
while, grew to a peak of
about 680, with Afghans
and Saudis the two largest
groups by nationality.
Amid global pressure,
Obama vowed to close
the prison upon taking
office but was thwarted by
Congress, which enacted
legislation that prohibited
the transfer of prisoners to
the U.S. and made it harder
to send them abroad.
An administration task
force divided the prison-
ers into three somewhat
fluid categories in January
2010: those who should be
considered for trial; those
who should be transferred
overseas or released; and
those who should be held
indefinitely under the laws
of war.
At the time, there were
48 on the indefinite list
but two have since died.
What’s next in
Pistorius case
GERALD IMRAY
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG —
Oscar Pistorius is due to
reappear in a South African
court today to face charges
of killing his girlfriend,
Reeva Steenkamp. Here’s
what is expected to happen
next:
Indictment
The 26-year-old double-
amputee Olympian will be
indicted on a main charge
of premeditated murder
on Monday at Pretoria
Magistrate’s Court, prose-
cutors say, confirming they
will maintain the charge
they initially laid against
Pistorius for Steenkamps’s
shooting death in February
when they go to trial.
Pistorius denies he com-
mitted murder and says he
shot Steenkamp by mistake
thinking she was a danger-
ous intruder.
The blockbuster trial is
expected to start in early
2014 but the exact date will
likely be set on Monday,
according to prosecutors. It
will probably be in February
or March, around a year
since Steenkamp’s killing.
The indictment papers
served on Pistorius by the
state mean the case will be
sent to the High Court in
the South African capital
Pretoria, where a judge will
preside over the trial and
ultimately pronounce the
world-famous athlete inno-
cent or guilty. South Africa
does not have trial by jury.
The mandatory sentence
for someone convicted of
premeditated murder is
life with a minimum of 25
years in prison, meaning
if Pistorius is found guilty,
he will be older than 50, at
least, when he leaves pris-
on. There is no death pen-
alty in South Africa.
The indictment papers
are expected to include a
list of witnesses to be called
by the prosecution during
the trial, and detail some of
the evidence police investi-
gators have gathered in the
six months since Pistorius
fatally shot Steenkamp in
a bathroom in his home on
Valentine’s Day.
Further charges
Prosecutors told The
Associated Press it is “pos-
sible” that additional charg-
es could be added to the
AP file photo

stands in the dock during his bail hearing at the magistrates court
in Pretoria, South Africa.
indictment but declined to
comment on South African
media reports that Pistorius
would face two other charg-
es relating to recklessly
discharging a firearm in a
public place in two separate
incidents. The incidents —
reportedly when Pistorius
shot a gun out of the sun-
roof of a moving car and
let one off accidentally in a
restaurant — would seem-
ingly show the prosecution’s
attempt to paint Pistorius
as trigger-happy at his trial.
Neither Pistorius’ defense
lawyers nor his family would
comment in detail on any of
the charges, but a spokes-
woman said they would see
a copy of the indictment
papers before Monday so
they could prepare.
“The Pistorius family does
not wish to comment on any
aspects of this court case
before the next court appear-
ance,” Anneliese Burgess
told the AP in an email. “In
our view, the correct place
for any information relating
to charges or witnesses or
any other aspects pertain-
ing to this or any other legal
case, is in a court of law.”
Police investigation
Last week, police
announced they had com-
pleted their six-month inves-
tigation into Steenkamp’s
killing at Pistorius’ home
in Pretoria in the predawn
hours of Feb. 14 and were
“convinced the accused has a
charge to answer to.”
Effectively, police have
finished gathering evidence
and interviewing witnesses,
and the prosecution is ready
to go to trial.
The statement, from
the office of South Africa’s
national police commission-
er, said detectives, forensic
experts, ballistics experts,
psychologists and technol-
ogy experts all worked on
the case and are confident
that they have the evidence
to convict Pistorius.
The most telling evidence
may be in records on cell-
phones found at Pistorius’
home and through examina-
tion of the toilet cubicle door
through which Pistorius
shot four bullets, hitting
Steenkamp three times and
killing her.
The angle or trajectory
of the bullets could show if
Pistorius was standing on
his stumps when he shot, as
he says, or if he was on his
prosthetics, as the prosecu-
tion maintains, a marked dif-
ference in the two accounts.
Pistorius in public
Pistorius was seen just
twice in public between the
time he was granted bail on
Feb. 22 and his most recent
court appearance, on June 4.
Since he was last in court,
his family has announced
he would return to a “low-
key” track routine, and he
was seen jogging on his
regular practice facility in
late June.
Last Monday, a South
African newspaper pub-
lished photographs of
Pistorius on a beach dur-
ing a vacation with friends.

NYPDfaces prospect of 2
new, separate watchdogs
NEW YORK — After
years of burnishing a repu-
tation as one of the nation’s
most potent police forc-
es, the New York Police
Department appears poised
to become one of the most
closely monitored.
A federal judge this week
said the department made
thousands of racially dis-
criminatory street stops
and appointed a monitor
to direct changes. And city
lawmakers are readying for a
final vote Thursday on creat-
ing an inspector general for
the NYPD and widening
the legal path for pursuing
claims of police bias.
It’s a one-two punch of
outside tinkering that will
muddy police work, a pair
of complementary steps
to protect civil rights or a
rash of policymaking that
may end up meaning little
on the street, depending on
who gets asked. But from
any perspective, it would
be the onset of a new era of
oversight for the country’s
biggest police department,
though the impacts would
be defined by particulars and
politics still in play.
The federal ruling outlines
but doesn’t always detail
reforms, and the city plans to
appeal it. The City Council,
if it succeeds in overriding a
mayoral veto, would estab-
lish a monitor but not select
the person or specify exactly
what gets investigated. And
a new mayor will take office
next year, which could well
mean new police leadership.
“The complexity, at this
point, is that there are
so many moving parts,”
said John Jay College of
Criminal Justice professor
Eugene O’Donnell, who isn’t
involved in the litigation or
legislation. “And it doesn’t
help that it became very
adversarial.”
Some other police forces,
including the Los Angeles
Police Department, also
have had both court moni-
toring and an inspector gen-
eral. The NYPD was under a
1980s federal consent decree
that involved undercover
and surveillance techniques,
but this would be an unprec-
edented level of outside scru-
tiny for the agency.
Advocates see distinct
roles for each of the prospec-
tive new NYPD watchdogs,
who would have different
scopes and powers. They
wouldn’t directly intersect,
deriving their authority from
different parts of govern-
ment.
The court monitor could
compel changes, via the
judge, but only concerning
stop and frisk. If the ruling
stands after the expected
appeal, the monitor will
flesh out details of U.S.
District Court Judge Shira
Scheindlin’s calls for changes
to officer training, supervi-
sion and discipline. The
monitor also would keep
tabs on specific initiatives
Scheindlin required: revising
forms that document stops
and testing body-worn cam-
eras for officers.
The inspector general
could look at many aspects
of policing — surveillance
of Muslims or officers’
response to the mentally ill,
for instance. But the inspec-
tor could issue only recom-
mendations, not orders,
though the mayor or council
could make themmandatory.
The court’s monitoring
would end when the judge
saw no further need for it,
while the inspector general’s
position would be perma-
nent.
“Both are essential ele-
ments in creating transpar-
ency and accountability in
the NYPD,” said Chauniqua
Young of the Center for
Constitutional Rights, which
brought the federal case and
is among groups backing the
city legislation.
But Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and Police
Commissioner Raymond
Kelly have bitterly resisted
the push to impose more
outside input on the NYPD,
pressure that built amid
anger over the department’s
heavy use of the stop and
frisk tactic and concerns
about extensive NYPD sur-
veillance of Muslims. The
spying was disclosed in
stories by The Associated
Press.
The mayor and commis-
sioner say police already get
plenty of scrutiny from enti-
ties ranging from a 700-per-
son internal investigations
staff to a civilian complaint
board. The new monitors
would layer on confusing,
overlapping oversight, the
officials say.
Bloomberg has raised
the specter of the police
force becoming so policed
by watchdogs and lawsuits
that officers might hesitate
to defend themselves, with
deadly consequences.
“I’d like to see you go to
the funeral and explain to the
family,” he snapped at a news
conference Monday.
Kelly decried the court
ruling during news show
appearances Sunday; the
judge has “indicted an entire
police department… based
on what we believe is very
flimsy information,” he said
on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Supporters hope
Scheindlin’s ruling will
embolden lawmakers to back
what could be an extremely
close veto override vote
Thursday; sponsors expect
it to succeed. Bloomberg,
meanwhile, suggested
Scheindlin’s ruling should
give lawmakers pause about
adding more monitoring.
The legislation also would
make it easier to bring suits
claiming discriminatory
policing — cases like the
one Scheindlin decided.
She found police systemati-
cally and unjustly singled out
black and Hispanic men for
stop and frisks, about 90 per-
cent of which don’t result in
arrests or tickets.
The legislation would
apply only in state court, eas-
ing some legal standards the
advocates faced in the fed-
eral case, City Councilman
Brad Lander said.
To some, the question
isn’t whether to add the new
watchdogs, but how much
they could accomplish.

Cold War-era plant closure
disrupts workers’ lives
PADUCAH, Ky. — Jim
Rodgers assumed his job as
an electrician at the Paducah
Gaseous Diffusion Plant
would take him all the way
to retirement.
After all, for six decades
the government-owned ura-
nium-enrichment plant was
synonymous with job secu-
rity and some of the region’s
best wages. It supported
multiple generations and
supplied a steady stream of
revenue to the community’s
restaurants, dry cleaners,
real estate companies and
other local businesses.
And yet, with a decade
or more to go in his work-
ing life, Rodgers, 53, is now
brushing off his resume and
looking for a new job, pos-
sibly in another city or state.
“It’s not one of these little
bumps in the road,” Rodgers
said. “It is literally life chang-
ing.”
InMay, theoperatorsof the
Cold War-era plant located a
few miles outside Paducah
in McCracken County
announced they would shut
it down. They laid off about
160 employees at the end of
last week and expect to let
another 100 go in October.
Uranium-enrichment work
ceased weeks ago.
Altogether, it looks like
more than 1,000 workers
will be pushed out of their
jobs, losing generous salaries
that will be nearly impos-
sible to match elsewhere in
the region. The McCracken
County plant was one of the
area’s largest employees, and
the average salary for plant
workers, including benefits,
was $125,000.
The plant opened in 1952
to develop enriched uranium
for military reactors and to
produce nuclear weapons.
It began selling uranium for
commercial reactors in the
1960s.
The plant has been run by
several operators throughthe
years, the most recent being
Maryland-based USEC Inc.
under a lease deal with the
U.S. Department of Energy.
USEC announced in May
that it was ending work at
the plant, citing soft demand
for enriched uranium along
with steep production costs.
“The plant put Paducah
on the map,” said James
Harbison, a retired mainte-
nance worker. “And its leav-
ing is going to take it off the
map, unless we get some-
thing in here. There are no
jobs around here comparable
to that one there.”
Workers have few options,
Harbison noted: “They’re
either going to have to take
a cut in pay and change their
standard of living —or leave
the area.”
Businesses that supplied
products or services to the
plant are also bracing for a
loss of revenue, as are mom-
and-pop stores that count
plant workers among their
customers.
Eddie Leigh worries the
plant shutdown will hurt
his barbecue restaurant,
situated a few miles away.
Leigh’s father started the eat-
ery before the plant opened,
and the two businesses
have relied on each other
for years. More than a third
of the restaurant’s business
comes from the plant’s work-
ers, Eddie Leigh said.

Power companies dangle free nights and weekends
Some
increasingly
ofering plans
that sound
like come-
ons from
cellphone
companies.
JONATHAN FAHEY
AP Energy Writer
NEW YORK — Electric
bills have long been take-
it-or-leave-it affairs: Pay
one rate for all the power
you used the month
before, no matter when
you used it.
But some electric com-
panies want to shake-up
that rigid business model.
They are increasingly
offering plans that sound
like come-ons from mobile
phone companies: Free
nights, free weekends and
pre-paid plans.
“We are seeing a trans-
formation in the way
people buy and use elec-
tricity in the U.S.,” says
Steven Murray, president
of Direct Energy’s residen-
tial energy programs.
The more customized
plans are made easier by
the growing use of digital
meters that wirelessly link
electric companies and
customers, allowing both
to track usage in real time.
Digital meters have not
only spurred competition,
they have also enabled tra-
ditional utilities to reduce
their costs by encouraging
customers to use electric-
ity during off-peak hours,
when it is cheaper.
Forty-two percent of
U.S. electric customers
have digital meters, up
from less than 5 percent in
2008. In 2015, more than
50 percent will have them,
according to Navigant
Consulting.
This new breed of elec-
tric plans comes with
risks.
Customers can end
up paying a lot more for
power than they expect-
ed. Some plans offer low
introductory rates that
can quickly skyrocket.
Others have high early-
termination fees. Some
fixed-rate plans are a great
deal if power prices rise,
but they may seem awfully
expensive if prices fall.
If customers are careful,
though, they can pay less.
Dorothea Miller of
Sinking Spring, Pa. signed
up for a Direct Energy
plan that gives her one day
of free power every week.
She picked Saturday, and
now saves as much of her
housework as she can until
then. She stops short, she
says, of letting mountains
of dirty laundry or dishes
accumulate in anticipation
of Saturday’s free power.
“We pretty much run
things the way we did
before the plan, but now
we set our dishwasher
to go on after midnight
(Friday) and do most of
our laundry on Saturday,”
she says.
TXU Energy offers a
similar plan to Texas cus-
tomers that offers free
power every night from
10 p.m. until 6 a.m., or
free power Saturdays and
Sundays, in exchange for
a higher rate during other
times.
Customized plans are
most prevalent in the 13
states and Washington,
D.C., where regulators
have allowed companies to
compete to sell electricity.
In those states, the num-
ber of customers that have
signed up with electricity
suppliers that offer these
types of plans rose to 13.3
million in 2011, from 8.7
million in 2008, according
to the most recent num-
bers from the Compete
Coalition, a group that
lobbies to expand compet-
itive electricity markets.
The plans are also pop-
ping up in other states.
Electric competition
has been around for more
than a decade and utilities
have experimented with
pricing plans for even
longer. But digital meters
have made these plans eas-
ier to offer and manage.
They are being installed
around the world; utilities
in China, Japan and across
the European Union have
aggressive plans to expand
the use of digital meters.
In the U.S., companies
have different motivations
for offering innovative
plans. Traditional regu-
lated utilities are trying
to reduce stresses on their
grids. Upstart power pro-
viders are trying to lure
new customers.
In both cases, they are
trying to get customers to
use less electricity when
it costs more. Wholesale
power prices fluctuate
depending on the time of
day, from zero overnight
to thousands of dollars
per megawatt-hour during
a hot day.
Yet most customers
see one average price
every month, a price that
includes those sky-high
peak rates. With plans
that offer prices that vary
based on the time of day,
customers can avoid high-
cost power in the same
way air travelers can
save by not flying on the
Wednesday night before
Thanksgiving.
Power providers use
fleets of pushy door-to-
door sales people, pop-up-
booths in malls and tens
of thousands of mailed
flyers to sign up custom-
ers. But it can be difficult
to get people to switch
because most people don’t
think about electricity
unless they lose it, and
the cost of electric bills
isn’t a major concern.
“It’s not like an enter-
tainment purchase where
you can see the reward,”
says Bruce Stewart, chief
marketing officer for
Constellation Energy, the
retail arm of Exelon Corp.
U.S. power prices have
been mostly flat or declin-
ing since the mid-1980s,
adjusted for inflation. A
typical residential custom-
er spends $110 per month
on electricity. That’s one-
third the average amount
spent by a family on gaso-
line.
Power providers have
only had success attract-
ing customers in the past
when electricity prices are
falling sharply because
they can offer a quick,
obvious savings compared
with what the traditional
utility offers. But now that
60 million customers have
digital meters, they can
offer plans that help cus-
tomers save money based
on how and when they
use power, not just with a
cheaper price.
Direct Energy ran a
simple, silly TV adver-
tisement pitching its free
power day that included
a woman blow-drying her
golden retriever — why
not, if the power is free?
Oklahoma Gas & Electric
offers a plan called
“SmartHours” that offers
lower rates to customers
who cut back on power
usage during hot summer
afternoons, along with a
thermostat that can adjust
itself based on electricity
prices.
“To differentiate your-
self you have to craft a
product that makes things
easier,” says Bill Massey, a
former federal energy reg-
ulator now at the Compete
Coalition.
Companies are offer-
ing pre-paid electric plans
that, like pre-paid mobile
phone plans, can be cheap
and include no sign-up fees
or deposits. Customers
get text and email alerts
when they’ve used most of
the electricity they’ve paid
for. By paying attention
to their use they use less,
which lowers their bills
further. Prepaid custom-
ers can have their power
cut more quickly, though,
if they have trouble pay-
ing for more electricity.
In Texas, for example, if a
prepaid balance falls below
a certain level, power can
be cut in as little as a day
after the power provider
issues a warning.
“Some (new plans) will
be good for some people
and some will be very very
bad for other people,” cau-
tions Janee Briesemeister,
a senior legislative strate-
gist who works on electric-
ity issues for the AARP.
This week New York’s
electricity regulator threat-
ened to block a power pro-
vider called Buy Energy
Direct from operating in
the state over complaints
that it signed up custom-
ers who never intended to
sign up, a scheme called
“slamming.”
“It’s even more confus-
ing than shopping for a
cellphone contract,” says
Briesemeister.
Many in the industry
think that companies will
learn to offer ever more
straightforward and use-
ful plans in order to woo
and keep customers, and
customers will learn to
shop for electricity the
way they shop for phone
or cable service.
“The industry is only
at the beginning of learn-
ing to understand their
customers and figuring
out what people want to
do,” says Brain Seal of the
Electric Power Research
Institute, an industry-
funded technical group.

Penn State announced a year ago — the
day Sandusky was convicted of 45 criminal
counts — that it hoped to compensate his
victims fairly and quickly. Penn State’s trust-
ees have authorized some $60 million to be
used for settlements.
The deals appear to be coming together
as three former school administrators await
trial for an alleged cover-up and other actions
after getting complaints about Sandusky.
A district judge recently ruled there was
enough evidence to send the cases against
former president Graham Spanier, former
vice president Gary Schultz and former Tim
Curley to county court for trial. All three
deny the allegations.
The settlements may not affect those
cases at all, Serbin said.
“I certainly don’t think it impedes the
prosecution, but I’m not quite certain it
helps them, either,” he said.
Kline’s client, who took the stand at
Sandusky’s criminal trial and sentencing last
year, signed off on the agreement on Friday
and should get paid within a month.
The man was identified by name in court,
but the AP does not name people who are
victims of sex crimes without their consent.
Kline said that as part of the agreement,
his client assigned his claim to Penn State,
effectively giving the university a better
chance to recover the money fromother par-
ties, such as The Second Mile, a charity for
at-risk youth that Sandusky founded.
Boni said the same question was an issue
in the settlement talks involving Victim 1,
who has come forward to identify himself as
Aaron Fisher and written a book about the
experience.
“It enables Penn State to go after the insur-
ers and Second Mile,” the Sandusky-founded
charity where he met at least some of his vic-
tims, Boni said. “Whether Penn State ever
does or not, who knows.”
A spokesman for the university declined
comment Saturday on Victim5’s deal, saying
the school “continues to make progress on
multiple settlements.”
At Sandusky’s trial, Victim 5 testified that
he met the coach at a Second Mile camp in
1999 and went to Penn State games with
him. He said that Sandusky groped him in
the showers during a workout — the inci-
dent occurred after another assistant coach
reported seeing Sandusky attacking a child
in a locker room shower.
Kline said the agreement does not prevent
Victim 5 from talking or writing about his
experience, although he has no plans to do
so.
“We hope that there is closure, but I can
tell you on his behalf that he understands
there (are) continuing proceedings, because
this case has had, and continues to have,
many long tentacles,” Kline said.
Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year
state prison sentence for child molestation
and related offenses. He is pursuing appeals.
The response of university leaders, includ-
ing former coach Joe Paterno, was heavily
criticized in a report commissioned by the
school last year. Paterno died in January
2012.
The school has spent nearly $50 million
on the Sandusky scandal, not including any
payments to the victims and accusers.
“This county right now is
just being born. The foun-
dation built these years is
very important,” she said
of its development under
the home rule charter that
replaced the three-commis-
sioner form of government
with an 11-member elected
County Council and an
appointed manager.
She described the role of
the controller as that of a
watchdog with an indepen-
dent voice and the courage
to speak up when something
is wrong.
“What you need to be is,
first of all, vigilant. You need
to have a sense of math-
ematics, a sense of right and
wrong,” Medico Olenginski
said.
She said she is qualified
for the controller’s post and
has demonstrated her abili-
ties as an elected official.
“I’ve already walked the
walk and have a proven
record to take on the chal-
lenges,” Medico Olenginski
said.
That’s what distinguishes
her from her opponent,
Medico Olenginski said.
Bednar could not be
reached for comment.
Details of the execu-
tive committee’s vote were
not made public. County
Republican Chairman Bill
Urbanski and committee
members met for nearly
three hours at the Kingston
Rec Center. They inter-
viewed Medico Olenginski
and Karen Ceppa-Hirko of
Wilkes-Barre, who lost to
Griffith in the May primary.
Medico Olenginski said
she did not get a vote count
from Urbanski. She said she
expects to win the general
election.
“Why? For the same rea-
son that they voted for me
last time,” she said, adding
that she was the top vote-
getter with approximately
37,000 votes.
Putting a campaign
together won’t be difficult,
she said. It should not take
much money, time or effort
to put her campaign com-
mittee together and get it in
gear, she said.
Security forces fired tear
gas into the truck in hopes
of freeing the badly beaten
officer, the officials said.
The officials said those
killed died from suffocating
on the gas.
The officials spoke on
condition of anonym-
ity because they were not
authorized to speak to jour-
nalists.
However, the officials’
version of event contra-
dicted reports about the
incident carried by state
media. The official website
of Egyptian state television
reported that the deaths
took place after security
forces clashed with mili-
tants near the prison and
detainees came under fire
while trying to escape. The
official MENA state news
agency also said the trucks
came under attack from
gunmen.
State media also said
all those killed and the
gunmen belonged to the
Muslim Brotherhood, the
organization that Morsi
hails from. The officials
who spoke to AP said some
of the detainees belonged
to the Brotherhood, while
others didn’t.
The differences in the
accounts could not be
immediately reconciled
Sunday night.
The violence adds to
the ever-rising death toll
in days of unrest. On
Saturday alone, clashes
between Morsi supporters
and police killed 79 people,
according to a government
tally released Sunday and
carried by MENA. That
raised the death toll for
four days of unrest across
the country to nearly 900
people killed. Some 70
police officers were killed
in clashes with protest-
ers or retaliatory attacks
during the same period,
according to the Interior
Ministry.
The clashes began
Wednesday when secu-
rity forces dismantled two
encampments in Cairo of
Morsi supporters, who
demanded his reinstate-
ment. The military over-
threw Morsi in a bloodless
July 3 coup after millions
took to the street demand-
ing him to step down.
Egypt’s military-backed
interim government
declared a state of emer-
gency after Wednesday’s
clashes and imposed a
curfew, turning the capital
into a ghost town after 7
p.m. every night. The gov-
ernment also began taking
harsher measures to crip-
pling the Brotherhood.
Security forces arrest-
ed hundreds of Muslim
Brotherhood members
early Sunday morning in
raids on their homes in
different cities, aimed at
disrupting planned ral-
lies to support Morsi. The
Cabinet also held an emer-
gency meeting to discuss
potentially banning the
group, a long-outlawed
organization that swept to
power in the country’s first
democratic elections a year
ago.
A possible ban — which
authorities say would be
implemented over the
group’s use of violence
— would be a repeat of
the decades-long struggle
between the state and the
Brotherhood. It also would
drain the group’s financial
resources and allow for
mass arrests of its mem-
bers. That likely would
diminish the chances of a
negotiated solution to the
crisis and push the group
again underground.
The Brotherhood has
shown no signs of backing
down though.
Under the banner of
an anti-coup alliance, the
group held protests Sunday,
though many appeared
smaller in scale than others
held in recent days. In the
coastal city of Alexandria,
protesters clashed with res-
idents. In the southern city
of Assiut, security forces
fired tear gas to disperse
hundreds rallying in front
of a mosque.
“They think they can
end the movement,” said
Muslim Brotherhood
senior member Saad
Emara. “The more killings,
the more people join us.”
However, the govern-
ment blames Islamists for
series of attacks on church-
es and police stations,
increasing public anger
against the group.
In his first appearance
since the violence began,
el-Sissi spoke at length in
an hour-long speech about
the motives behind ousting
Morsi. The general said the
Islamist president exploit-
ed democracy to monopo-
lize power. He again said
the military’s action “pro-
tected Egyptians from civil
war,” despite the ongoing
violence on the streets.
“We will not stand by
silently watching the
destruction of the country
and the people or the torch-
ing the nation and terror-
izing the citizens,” el-Sissi
said in a speech aired on
state television. “I am not
threatening anyone. … If
the goal is to destroy the
country and the people,
no!”
The general said that the
military didn’t seek power
but instead “have the honor
to protect the people’s will
— which is much dearer
(than) ruling Egypt.”
El-Sissi also said
Islamists must be included
in the country’s politics
moving forward. A mili-
tary timetable calls for the
nation’s constitution to be
amended and for presiden-
tial and parliamentary elec-
tions to be held in 2014.
El-Sissi’s speech was
an attempt to consolidate
internal support in the
face of international criti-
cism. In a joint statement
Sunday, the presidents of
the European Commission
and the European Council
said it was the responsi-
bility of the army and the
interim government to
end the violence, warning
against the use of force.
They said EU will “urgent-
ly review in the coming
days its relations with
Egypt” — meaning much-
need financial aid could be
on the line.
“We regret deeply that
international efforts and
proposals for building
bridges and establishing
an inclusive political pro-
cess … were set aside and
a course of confrontation
was instead pursued,” the
statement by Jose Manuel
Barroso and Herman Van
Rompuy read.
They warned: “This path
will not succeed.”
Nearly two weeks of
international diplomacy
by the EU, U.S. and Arab
nations failed to broker a
peaceful end to the stand-
off. Lawmakers in the U.S.
expressed greater discon-
tent Sunday with Egypt —
and concern about $1.3 bil-
lion in annual military aid
it gives the nation.
Egypt also lost one
of the few doves in the
country’s military-backed
administration Sunday as
Mohamed ElBaradei, who
resigned as vice president
in protest of the use of
force against Morsi’s sup-
porters, flewout of Cairo to
Vienna. ElBaradei declined
to speak to journalists as
he left Egypt, where pro-
military news outlets have
become increasingly hos-
tile toward him.

GERARD“JERRY” KOZIC
Aug. 5, 2013
Gerard “Jerry” Kozic, 53,
of Saylorsburg, lost his life on
Monday, Aug. 5, in the shooting
at the Ross Township Municipal
Building.
He was the husband of Linda
(Goss) Kozic, who was also criti-
cally injured. They had observed
their 16th wedding anniversary
on Feb. 14.
Born in Lehighton, and
raised in the West End, he was
the son of the late Milton J. and
Grace Ellen (Kuehner) Kozic.
He attended Pocono Central
Catholic High School in Cresco,
and was passionate about his
love for his wife, Linda, his dogs,
and his music.
In his youth, he was a charter
member of the Singing Boys of
Pennsylvania and at an early age
his exceptional talents as a pia-
nist, keyboardist, vocalist and
composer lead him to pursue
a career in music. He attended
Juilliard, the New England
Conservatory of Music and
Berklee College of Music, then
toured Italy with the Harlem
Opera Society.
Mr. Kozic’s love was the
piano, which he played begin-
ning at the age of 5. In his teens,
he led church choirs by day and
played in nightclubs on week-
ends. He was also involved in
writing, recording and produc-
ing sound tracks for live profes-
sional review shows, as well as
serving as a musical director
for a local regional theater. He
wrote jingles and original mate-
rial for many artists and bands,
spending time most recently per-
forming with saxophone legend
George Young’s quartet.
As a professional musician,
he performed throughout the
region and the world, working
with Young, Ray Charles, the
Four Tops and the Monkees. In
June of 2004, he performed by
invitation for President George
Bush at the White House with
the Sgro Brothers.
In addition to his wife, Linda,
Jerry is survived by his sister,
Anne Marie Lamberton, and her
husband, John, of Pocono Pines;
two nieces, Megan Lamberton
of Philadelphia and Kelsey
Lamberton of Pocono Pines; a
brother-in-law, Jerry Goss, and
mother-in-law, Pricilla Goss,
both of Hunlock Creek; aunts and
uncles, including John Kozic and
Bobby and Geraldine Kuehner,
and a cousin, Tom Kozic.

Editorial
Sen. John McCain has put the White
House in a tight corner.
His remarks that former Egyptian
president Mohammed Mursi’s ouster
was a coup had put the cart before the
horse for Washington. The US admin-
istration had strictly avoided using the
term for the Egyptian military’s dis-
missal of Mursi, and had been keeping
a low profile over the change of guard
in Cairo. McCain and Senator Lindsey
Graham, who were hobnobbing in
Cairo for the last several days in hope
of brokering a thaw between the mili-
tary and the Muslim Brotherhood, now
seem to have given up. McCain sealed
the fate for both Cairo and Washington
by saying, “we have said we share the
democratic aspirations and criticism
… and the circumstances of (Mursi’s)
removal was a coup”.
With Egypt lacking a political solution
to its homegrown crisis, the US will be
locked down in a serious diplomatic tan-
gle. And now McCain plain talking has
further compounded the equation. If the
White House formally calls the move a
coup, it would be caught in a serious
politico-legal limbo. Then it would be
under legal compulsions to cut off $1.3
billion in aid, and lose such a great geo-
strategic partner in the region. This is
where diplomacy is badly needed to
not only pull the Egyptians out of the
quagmire that has claimed hundreds of
lives, but also to put it back on the path
of political stability.
Unraveling of Egypt as it is mired in
turmoil could be a prelude to a catas-
trophe in the region. With violence
and political polarization taking roots,
something serious is up in the air.
The military government, which has
already expressed its desire to take
along the opposition elements includ-
ing the Brotherhood, has to initiate
another effort to mend the fences. It is,
though, a difficult moment for Cairo.

Whenwordcame that the Russiangov-
ernment had granted former NSA con-
tractor and fugitive NSA leaker Edward
Snowden asylum, the consequences of
President Obama’s enfeebled foreign
policy directives became abundantly
clear. President Obama’s almost obses-
sive desire to eschew any semblance of
a muscular foreign policy has weakened
the administration’s ability to protect
America’s vital national interests and
rendered Russian dismissal of American
concerns a fait accompli.
The manner in which Russia con-
tinued to brush off U.S. requests for
Snowden’s extradition should have come
as no surprise given Mr. Obama’s pen-
chant for dithering and equivocation.
President Obama’s approach to foreign
policy has systematically undercut the
international respect that is necessary
to achieve a nation’s foreign policy objec-
tives.
This process began almost immedi-
ately following the president’s inaugura-
tion in 2009. While then-U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton was making a
conciliatory offer to “reset” relations
with Russia, the Obama administration
was simultaneously preparing to rescind
a series of strategically important agree-
ments negotiated by the Bush admin-
istration, with great difficulty, to place
vital missile defense assets in Poland and
the Czech Republic.
Anti-ballistic missile and radar track-
ing assets would have been added to
the larger NATO-led European mis-
sile defense enterprise, providing sig-
nificant long-term protections for both
the American homeland and forward
deployed troops from intermediate and
long-range missile threats originating in
Iran.
Russia objected to the
anti-ballistic missile and
radar emplacements,
which they saw as threat-
ening their perceived
sphere of influence.
Thanks to the Obama
administration, Russia
got what they wanted:
the missile defense plans
were nixed during the
president’s first year in
office.
This decision was fol-
lowed up by the presi-
dent himself subtly offering then-Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev “flexibil-
ity” on missile defense issues after his
November 2012 reelection. Medvedev
responded by telling Obama that he
would “transmit this information to
Vladimir.”
The information transmitted was
indeed clear: Repeated acts of weakness
and acquiescence to Russian demands
informed the Russian government that
there existed no compelling need to
accede to American interests because
the likelihood of any repercussions for
their intransigence was remote.
But President Obama’s misguided
foreign policy decisions have not been
limited to his dealings with Russia.
The administration’s impotent response
to ongoing cyber indiscretions by the
Chinese government has all but embold-
ened Asia’s emerging superpower.
Strong evidence continues to link
the Chinese government to repeated
transgressions, including the stealing
of American intellectual property and
military intelligence. This theft has been
ongoing for years, and the ineffectual
response from the Obama administra-
tion, limited to the occasional verbal rep-
rimand, has done little to curb China’s
behavior.
The Obama administration’s preferred
foreign policy approach, light rhetorical
posturing designed to dispel any per-
ception of international bullying, has
achieved little if not the growing belief
that the United States can be ignored.
The weakening of America’s global
image has not simply emboldened our
adversaries but also caused our most
important allies to question our fidelity
to the causes our nation has historically
promoted.
The unassertive response to the con-
flagrations in Libya and Syria has sown
confusion among allies and enemies
alike as to where America stands and the
extent to which she will defend both her
ideals and those who promote them.
There was a time inthe not-too-distant
past when global adversaries would heed
the words of an American president as
they carried with them the implied
weight of a full and vigorous American
response. This respect was developed
over the course of two World Wars and
several generations. Sadly, it has now
largely been squandered in the matter of
one presidency.

President Barack Obama’s abrupt
cancellation of long-standing arrange-
ments for a bilateral summit with his
Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is
a rare but calculated diplomatic snub.
The trigger was Putin’s provocative
decision to grant temporary asylum
to the fugitive US National Security
Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
Putin has also been obstructionist in
backing the Syrian Assad regime with
sophisticated missile combat systems.
And Washington and Moscow are at
odds on the Kremlin’s repression of
Putin’s political opponents, the plight
of human rights campaigners and
Russia’s support of terrorist groups
such as Hezbollah. Putin, a former
KGB colonel, has even been unwill-
ing to take action on reducing nuclear
stockpiles.
A return to the aggressive rhetoric
and confrontation of the Cold War
is in nobody’s interests, least of all
Moscow’s. Mr Putin needs a reality
check. His self-delusional chest-thump-
ing cannot disguise the fact Russia
is nothing like the power it was in
Soviet times. Its best interests would
be served by working with the interna-
tional community. Obama will attend
the G20 leaders’ meeting in Russia
next month. Participants should leave
Putin in no doubt he is seriously risk-
ing Russia’s interests.

I grew up in the Bronx, and I wel-
come the recent court decision strik-
ing down New York’s stop-and-frisk
policy.
This policy discriminated against
men of color and, in a blatantly un-
American way, trampled on the pre-
sumption of innocence.
U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin
said the policy amounted to racial
profiling and violated the Fourth
Amendment right to privacy and the
14th Amendment right to due process
under law.
I can attest to the fact that inner city
neighborhoods like mine have often
been seen as war zones. Police per-
ceive residents as instant suspects, so
we are rarely afforded the same rights
and respect as people who live in other
areas.
Stop and frisk has been quietly
robbing black and brown families of
their sons and daughters for decades
because it reinforces the dangerous
and bigoted assumption that criminal-
ity is embedded in skin color. That
assumption makes every teenager,
young adult and grown man of color a
presumed criminal.
In places like the South Bronx —
erroneously but almost universally
perceived as a cauldron of criminal
activity — the most innocent of behav-
iors could land a young man face down
on the pavement in seconds.
I watched police harass pedestrians
on my way home from school.
I heard the sirens blaring as multiple
patrol vehicles swarmed a residential
block because four black teens were
congregated on a corner after hours.
I saw desperate mothers and grand-
mothers beg and plead with unmoved
officers to let their sons go back to
their homes in the early hours of night-
fall and also in broad daylight.
When a police cruiser started its
slow and watchful stroll down the
main arteries in my childhood neigh-
borhood, we walked slower, looked
straight ahead, made no sudden move-
ments or loud noises and said a quiet
prayer that the patrol car would move
on without disturbing our peace.
The stop-and-frisk policies in New
York City, and similar ones around the
country, have criminalized black and
brown skin color.
With this court decision, that ought
to stop.
No one should be labeled a suspect
because of skin color.

When Egypt’s military leaders
in July removed the nation’s first
democratically elected president,
Mohammed Morsi, the country’s
allies may have deployed self-delusion
to mask reality.
The generals said they had to force
Morsi out to save democracy. They
said their assertion of authority would
be brief and elections would come
soon. The U.S. and other nations
wagged fingers, but largely tempered
their reactions. The generals seemed
trustworthy.
The brutal storming this week of
peaceful protest encampments ends
the brief era of world delusion over
Egypt and its generals. The violence
also may end the brief era of democ-
racy in Egypt. The military has used
tear gas, heavy armor and rooftop
snipers to disperse peaceful Muslim
Brotherhood protesters seeking the
release of Morsi, who has been in gov-
ernment custody since he was pushed
from power. Hundreds of people have
been killed.
Egypt, it seems, faces one of two
untenable futures: a return to military
dictatorship or a civil war. It’s hard to
see how elections again could be held.
Much of Egypt’s population, support-
ers of Morsi, would treat them as noth-
ing but a sham and an insult.
Egypt’s military-backed leadership
has declared a state of emergency, the
tactic long favored by President Hosni
Mubarak as justification to jail thou-
sands of political dissidents.
Still, Egyptians have tasted democ-
racy. They’ve felt the power of protest,
the swelling crowds that in a matter
of a few astonishing weeks, forced
Mubarak from power. There was talk
then of how Egyptians had toppled
their own Berlin Wall. The military has
crushed that progress, that sense of
self-empowerment.
All of this portends a long, bloody
struggle in Egypt, the center of the
Arab world. That’s big trouble for a
part of the globe that’s seeing trouble
at nearly every turn.
Morsi alienated millions of people
by monopolizing power and moving
Egypt toward Islamist government. He
wouldn’t compromise. He couldn’t gov-
ern. But the best option for Egypt was
to keep holding elections and remove
him.
Instead, the military lost patience,
lost confidence in its citizenry, and
may lose Egypt.

It’s sunny & warm outside… do you have
a warm feeling about your TV reception?
that’s about as much as she was going
to reveal. She said they offer fresh and
smoked kielbasa and also have cheese-
filled and extra-garlic kielbasa.
“We have our own brand of kielbasa,”
Jan said. “People like what they like.”
Whether you like mustard seeds,
pounds of garlic or a touch, the taste of
kielbasa enhanced with horseradish right
from the root can make holidays or lunch
days a culinary delight.
Kielbasa is the Polish word for sau-
sage, and it comes in many varieties.
While kielbasa can be found almost
anywhere, the taste and texture can
vary greatly. Even though the same basic
ingredients can be found in most kielba-
sas — pork, salt, pepper, water, garlic —
each has its own distinctive taste.
Some kielbasa makers add their own
touch to their recipe, but don’t expect
them to tell . Family secrets are just that
— secret.
Not too far from Jerry’s Market,
Tarnowski’s Kielbasa recently opened a
new store on Broadway. John Vishnefski,
grandson of the family’s original kielbasa
maker, owns the store and he still makes
his products and smokes kielbasa at the
original location in Glen Lyon.
“My family has been making kielbasa
for 64 years,” Vishnefski said. “My grand-
father, Thaddeus and his brothers Chet,
Leo and Johnny, started the business. It’s
been the same recipe for all those years.”
Vishnefski said he uses pork and beef
in his recipe that faithful customers have
enjoyed. Dale and Debbie Kovalich, orig-
inally from Glen Lyon, but Dover, Del.,
residents for 28 years, always stop at
Tarnowski’s before heading home.
“Every time we come in, we stop for
sausage to go,” Kovalich said. “We’ve
shopped at Tarnowski’s all our lives.”
Vishnefski has owned the business for
two years. He said he increased sales by
about 6,800 pounds last year.
“We keep getting more and more
customers,” he said. “We also go to the
Wilkes-Barre Farmers Market and the
Plymouth Kielbasa Festival.”
Vishnefski said he has increased adver-
tising and has added products like cole
slaw, horseradish sauce and kielbasa vari-
ations like cheese-filled, turkey kielbasa
and venison kielbasa if the customer sup-
plies the deer meat.
After selling cars for more than seven
years, Vishnefski said he decided to work
for himself, and he took over the fam-
ily business. He said his cousin Michael
Tarnowski taught him how to make the
kielbasa.
Frank Cembrock of Hanover Township
stopped to buy some smoked kielbasa for
his sister in Montoursville.
“As soon as I walk in her house, she
asks me if I brought kielbasa,” Cembrock
said. “She can’t get it there. And if I
couldn’t get Tarnowski’s, I wouldn’t even
go to her house.”
In a modest two-story house on Marcy
Street in Larksville, Rich and Irene
Mackiewicz continue a family tradition
that started in the 1950s. Rich’s parents
— Clem and Thelma — began making
kielbasa back then, and now that they
have passed, Mackiewicz continues to
make kielbasa for family and friends for
Easter and Christmas.
“My dad would mix the seasonings
together in what he called the ‘magic
bag’ and then add it to the meat mix-
ture,” Rich said. “He knew exactly how
to mix it — so much per pound.”
Mackiewicz said his father would put
enough seasonings in the magic bags for
10 pounds of kielbasa. He said keeping
the tradition going is important even
though he only makes enough for fam-
ily and friends. His dad owned Clem’s
Market at the corner of Marcy and Third
streets and he also worked at Master
Market in Plymouth for years.
“No one else in the family does it,”
Mackiewicz said. “It’s a family tradition;
it’s filled with good memories.”
Mackiewicz said his father always
told him to “stick with the recipe” —
no variations. The recipe includes salt,
pepper, garlic, mustard seeds and water,
but don’t expect any exact details. And
the Mackiewicz recipe uses only pork
butts — no beef. The casings are pig
intestines; some people use beef casings.
Mackiewicz has an authentic smoker
in the back yard and he uses cherry
and apple woods from local orchards to
smoke the meat.
“When I was a kid, my dad let me turn
the crank on the grinder,”he said. “I still
use all the equipment he used.”
Each year at the Plymouth Kielbasa
Festival a contest is held to determine
the best fresh and best smoked kielba-
sas. Bosak’s Market in Olyphant and
Komensky’s Market in Duryea have gar-
nered multiple awards in both categories.
They love the competition.
Tom and Gail Bosak and Mark and
Tammy Bosak are the owners of the
store that uses a 25-year-old recipe they
came up with to satisfy their mother’s
craving for kielbasa.
“My mother loved kielbasa, but she
couldn’t eat it because she always got
heartburn and an upset stomach,” Tom
said. “So my brother and I came up with
a recipe that she could handle without
having it repeat on her.”
The Bosaks started out as farmers
and then decided to open a market and
make kielbasa about 15 hears ago. They
can’t wait to make the 40-minute drive to
Plymouth for the annual festival.
“We didn’t enter the first year because
we didn’t know about it,” Gail said. “But
then some of our customers told us about
it and we got in the second year and
every year after. And we’ve done pretty
well.”
Like Rich Mackiewicz said, “It’s all in
the recipe.”

Kielbasa Festival’s favor just right for Plymouth
BILL O’BOYLE
[email protected]
PLYMOUTH — The
10th annual Plymouth
Kielbasa Festival is less
than one week away and,
already, you can detect the
aroma of garlic and horse-
radish emanating from old
Shawnee.
The festival, the brain-
child of Ed Vnuk of Sport-
JES, has grown every year.
The sponsoring organiza-
tion is Plymouth Alive, a
group of residents and busi-
ness people who believe in
the town and are committed
to making it better.
Over the years, Plymouth
Alive has made thousands
of dollars in donations to
the borough fire and police
departments and the public
library, among others.
But more than anything
else, the Kielbasa Festival
has brought people back
to the West Side town —
between 20,000 and 30,000
will walk the Main Street
sampling kielbasa and other
delicious offerings, as well
as partaking in children’s
games and listening to
music of all genres.
“We’re the fastest-grow-
ing festival in Northeastern
Pennsylvania,” said Terry
Womelsdorf, chairman
of Plymouth Alive. “The
festival brings new
people in and it brings
old friends together again.”
Womelsdorf and Sue
Gryziec, owner of Flowers
And …, said Plymouth Alive
was formed by local busi-
ness owners who decide to
take an active role in down-
town revitalization for the
betterment of the commu-
nity.
“With the revitalization
beginning in our town,
we are looking forward to
implementing some new
ideas to contribute to that
revitalization,” Gryziec
said. “We hope that the
community will continue
to support us and all of the
local groups trying to make
a difference.”
At a meeting Wednesday
night at Mergo’s Bar on
West Main Street, mem-
bers of the group put the
final touches on the festival.
Mayor Dorothy Petrosky
said the festival’s 10th anni-
versary is a milestone.
“I remember when it was
first proposed and so many
people said it would never
work,” Petrosky said. “And
now people travel here
from all over, and whatever
money is raised goes back
into the community. It’s
amazing and it makes me
feel good to see how suc-
cessful it has become.”
Councilman Frank
Coughlin said the festival
has been very positive for
the borough.
“It brings people to town
to see what Plymouth has to
offer,” he said. “Maybe some
will like what they see and
decide to open a business
or come back to patronize
our existing businesses.”
Plymouth’s town motto
has always been “Shawnee
will shine again.” Coughlin
said the festival goes
a long way in proving
that old adage.
“It’s two days of fun and
old friends getting togeth-
er,” Coughlin said. “It really
makes old Shawnee shine
again.”
Womelsdorf said the
prime sponsor for the
festival is First Keystone
Community Bank. He said
the entertainment lineup
is better than ever, espe-
cially Saturday night, when
three bands will perform a
the Kielbasa Rock Festival:
The Neighborhood, The
Whazoos and Eddie Day &
TNT.
The festival begins Friday,
andSaturday will beginwith
the annual parade, followed
by the kielbasa competition
at the American Legion on
Center Avenue.
“We needed a bigger
venue,” Womelsdorf said of
the move to the legion. “We
used to get 50 to 60 people
in the room at the former
Franchella’s Restaurant.
Now we can seat more than
100.”
Womelsdorf said Scott
Cannon’s Video Innovations
will record highlights of
the festival and post on the
Plymouth Alive website:
plymouthalive.org.
“Good weather or bad
weather, the people still
come out,” Womelsdorf
said. “We tell people to
come for the kielbasa, but
stay for the fun.”

MOOSIC — For eight
innings, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
had trouble getting anything
going against soft-throwing
Lehigh Valley pitchers and
didn’t show much life during
Sunday’s game.
Fortunately for the
RailRiders, the IronPigs had
the same kind of fortune against
SWB hurlers Caleb Cotham and
Yoshinori Tateyama.
Then in the ninth, something
clicked for the home team
as Dan Johnson blasted
a two-run, walk-off home
run leading the RailRiders
to a 2-0 win over Lehigh
Valley on the final Sunday
matinee game at PNC
Field this season.
Johnson deposited a
2-1 pitch from IronPigs’
lefty Jay Johnson over
the wall in right field for
the first hit allowed by
the left-handed Johnson
to a lefty hitter in
Triple-A this season.
Cotham’s first trouble
of the afternoon came in
the top of the third when
Leandro was on third
with one out. But a heads-
up play by Cotham erased
the outfielder. Tyson
Gillies hit a comebacker to
the mound which Cotham
fielded. He noticed Castro
stumbled away from the
bag and threw over in
time to get the second out
of the inning. Cotham got
Pete Orr on strikes to end
the inning.
“That’s a big play. I was happy
I made that play,” Cotham said.
“I think it’s one of those things
where I just reacted. He was
off the bag and luckily we got
him there. It just worked out.
I slowed the game down and
tried to get an out there.”
That was the only real trouble
Cotham got in as he didn’t allow
any other runners to reach third
base in his 6 2-3 innings, giv-
ing up just four hits and two
walks while striking out five.

Joey Logano celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Pure
Michigan at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.
NOAHTRISTER
AP Sports Writer
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Joey
Logano gave Ford a Sprint
Cup sweep in Michigan — and
enabled team owner Roger
Penske to celebrate a victory in
his home state.
Now Logano can start to
envision a happy finish to what
has been an eventful season for
the 23-year-old driver.
“We’re close, we’re close,”
Logano said. “What a great place
to win — what a great time to
win, being in Ford’s backyard.”
Logano boosted his chances
of reaching the Chase for the
Sprint Cup, winning for the first
time this season in a fuel-mileage
race at Michigan International
Speedway on Sunday.
Logano and Kevin Harvick
both breezed past Mark Martin
with just over three laps to go in
the 400-mile, 200-laprace. Martin
had been trying to stretch fuel,
but when he faltered, Logano was
able to hold off Harvick.
The win put Logano in 13th
place inthe standings. He’s seven
points behind Martin Truex Jr.
for the second wild card.
It’s been an up-and-down year
for Logano. He and teammate
Brad Keselowski were docked
25 points each after NASCAR
inspectors confiscated parts from
the rear suspensions of their cars
before the April 13 race at Texas.
More recently, Logano has
had to recover from back-to-back
40th-place showings at Daytona
and Loudon, but he’s now right
in the middle of a wild race for
the final Chase spots.
“A roller coaster, to say the
least,” Logano said. “We’ve just
got to keep that momentum
going. It just goes to show, as
long as nothing goes wrong —
knock on wood — we’ve been
pretty good. We’ve had some
good speed in our cars.”
Everything went pretty much
according to plan at Michigan.
Logano won the pole Friday and
took Sunday’s race by a second
over Harvick, who is safely in
fourth place in the standings.
“I was very pleased with the
day,” Harvick said. “It’s just
going to come down to getting
on a hot streak over 10 weeks
and not making any mistakes.”
There are three races left
before the Chase, and the jock-
eying for the final spots is just
as muddled as it was before
Sunday’s race. Keselowski, the
defending champion, is still in
eighth place with 667 points,
but Kurt Busch is now only two
Logano holds of Harvick for crucial win

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT
— Offense is what led Chula
Vista, Calif., to the Little League
World Series, and the West
champions finally put their big
bats on display Sunday.
Jake Espinoza, Micah Pietila-
Wiggs, Michael Gaines and
Grant Holman all homered in a
mercy rule-shortened 15-3 vic-
tory over Newark, Del.
Holman was the one to cap an
eight-run fourth inning, by hit-
ting the first pitch he faced over
the fence in center for a game-
ending grand slam.
Now that’s more like it, Chula
Vista manager Rick Tibbett
said, referring to a team that
average 11 runs in six games to
clinch the West championship.
“That’s what we do best,”
Tibbett said, whose team need-
ed an extra inning to pull out a
3-0 victory over Grosse Pointe,
Mich., in the series opener. And
Tibbett certainly wasn’t both-
ered Sunday, when his team
trailed 2-0 after the top of the
first inning.
“Yeah, two runs is not going
to keep us down. It just doesn’t,”
Tibbett said. “Normally, we
score 8-10 runs a game. It didn’t
bother us one bit.”

WILKES-BARRE TRIATHLON
JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
LEHMAN TWP. — By now,
Sean Robbins has competed in
the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon so
many times that finishing the job
came natural to him.
So it was to no one’s surprise
— except his own — when the
43-year old Shavertown resi-
dent was the first one sprinting
past the finish line at Penn State
Wilkes-Barre.
Robbins claimed his third con-
secutive Wilkes-Barre Triathlon
championship Sunday, becoming
just the second man to win the
race three years in a row with a
2:10.34. Australian Greg Welch
previously performed the feat as
a professional from 1991-93.
“I’m shocked. I would’ve
never expected that to happen,”
Robbins said. “There were some
tough guys showing up. One
of the guys beat me a couple of
weeks ago. I knew he was going
to be tough. I’m thrilled.”
Philadelphia resident Emily
Sherrard won the women’s
Olympic race. Sherrard hand-
ily defeated the female competi-
tion, finishing fifth overall with
a 2:24:36. Swoyersville resident
Ann Zoranski finished second to
Sherrard, trailing by 13:29 and
27th overall.
Robbins was in sixth place
overall after the swim. He said
he wasn’t sure where he was in
the standings during the cycling
course until they were two miles
away from the PSU Wilkes-Barre
campus. He pulled ahead of
Drums’ Robert Gould after the
bike-run transition.
Robbins ran a full minute faster
than the competition in the run-
ning portion. He ran the 11-kilo-
meter course in 41:31 at a pace of
5:57 per mile.
“I felt pretty good,” he said.
“Generally when I was done, I’ve
been doing more endurance stuff
and the fact that the weather was
spot on. No sun. No rain. Good
temperatures. Perfect day.”
The field had to endure a new
cycling course for the 32nd run-
ning of the Triathlon. This year’s
course detoured the runners
to avoid Route 309 and Kunkle
Road. Robbins had the fastest
cycling time, finishing the 40 km
swim in 1:05:08.
“It wasn’t as bad as I thought
it was going to be,” Robbins said.
“It was tough but it was different
from the old course. You rode it
differently. There was a lot more
shifting going on, a lot more gear
work. So as long as you did that,
you gave yourself a chance to
recover for the run.”
This year’s Wilkes-Barre
Triathlon also saw the addition
of a sprint race, a modified ver-
sion of the Triathlon that sets the

EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. — Andrew Luck threw
for 107 yards and two touch-
downs and the Indianapolis
Colts responded to criticism
by owner Jim
Irsay with a
20-12 exhibi-
tion victory
over the New
York Giants on
Sunday night.
Irsay used
Twitter to apol-
ogize to fans
for the Colts’
abysmal show-
ing in a 44-20
loss to Buffalo
last week, and
the Colts (1-1)
improved mark-
edly, with some
help from the bubbling and
suddenly injury-concerned
Giants (1-1).
New York wide receiver
Victor Cruz (bruised heel)
and starting center David
Baas (sprained knee) left the
game and the Giants did little
on offense.
Not seeing much pressure,
Luck threw touchdown passes
of 28 yards to Reggie Wayne
and 18 to T.Y. Hilton in leading
the Colts to 17 points. Adam
Vinatieri added a 52-yard field
goal as Indianapolis scored on
three consecutive series.
Backup kicker Brandon
McManus added a 50-yard
field goal in the second half.
New York’s Josh Brown
kicked field goals of 25, 27
and 45 yards in the first half.
The last one came after Giants
coach Tom Coughlin was
flagged for a 15-yard unsports-
manlike conduct penalty on
the previous play for coming
down the sideline and yelling
at the side judge for a sup-
posed non-call. Brown added a
47-yard field goal with 8:43 to
play to close out the scoring.
Luck, who led the Colts to
an 11-5 record and a playoff
berth in his rookie season,
completed 9 of 13 passes, but
the one most will remember
will be the gift touchdown
courtesy of veteran Giants
cornerback Aaron Ross, who
was starting for the injured
Corey Webster.
On a second-and-3 play
from the 28, Luck underthrew
Wayne on a pattern down the
right sideline. A backpedalling
Ross was in perfect position to
intercept the ball, but he lost
Luck throws
two TDs to
beat Giants

swimming, cycling and run-
ning legs at roughly half the
distances of the Olympic
race.
Like Robbins, Wyoming
resident Nicholas Hetro, 25,
also brushed ahead during
the run. HetrotrailedStephen
Brush, of Hillborough, N.J.,
by a minute at the bike-run
transition. Hetro caught up
to Brush at the second mile
and made a hard pass to take
the first-ever sprint title in
1:19.53 with a 26-second
advantage.
Hetro’s 21:33 5.5 km run
was the fastest in the 72-man
field.
“He took off (on the bike)
and I said I’m going to let him
go for a little bit,” said Hetro,
of the Mercury Endurance
team out of Frederick, Md.
“I think he overbiked a little
bit. I was pushing on the run.
By the second mile, I caught
up to him and passed him
like I meant it. I got myself
a good gap and surged on
the hill. Because I noticed he
was slowing up on the hills.”
Hetro said he competed
in the sprint race in order to
keep himself conditioned for
a triathlon next weekend.
“I compete in both,” Hetro
said. “I only do a sprint
because I’ll be racing next
weekend. So if I do a sprint, I
could recover by Tuesday for
next weekend’s race.”
Sarah Leskosky, 32, of
Drums, won the inaugu-

two points behind him
after a third-place showing
Sunday.
Greg Biffle (663) is in
10th place. Kasey Kahne
(659) and Truex (653)
are currently in line to be
the wild cards, but Logano
closed a lot of ground.
Points leader Jimmie
Johnson lasted less than 60
laps Sunday before engine
trouble knocked him out.
He still has a 41-point lead
over Clint Bowyer.
Biffle finished ninth after
winning the previous two
Cup races at Michigan.
His victory in June was the
1,000th for Ford Motor
Company across NASCAR’s
three national series —Cup,
Nationwide and Truck.
Biffle drives for Roush
Fenway Racing. This time,
it was Penske’s turn to cel-
ebrate.
“I go back about 30 years
here at the track — this is
probably one of the biggest
wins,” Penske said. “I say
it’s my home state, it’s my
home track, and Detroit’s
my city.”
It was the third Cup win
of Logano’s career, and it
came after he posted the
ninth-fastest pole-winning
speed in NASCAR history
during Friday’s qualifying.
Johnson, Kyle Busch and
Dale Earnhardt Jr. were
among the big names to
have problems, but the race
was a clean one for Logano
in his No. 22 Ford. He was
battling Kurt Busch for
the lead at the very start
and needed only to outlast
Harvick at the end.
Sunday’s race began
with 10 of the first 17 laps
under caution. There were
nine cautions in all, and
Logano and Kurt Busch
led for 94 of the 200 laps
— nearly half the race.
The 54-year-old Martin
emerged late, making a bid
for his first Cup win since
2009, but his fuel didn’t
hold up. He finished 27th.
“We saved a bunch of gas
but we needed one more
yellow,” Martin said. “One
more yellow and we would
have been in good shape.”
Johnson finished 40th
and is now winless in 24
Cup starts at MIS. His
lost weekend began when
a practice crash Saturday
forced him to use a backup
car and start in the back of
the field. He quickly made
his way into contention
before the engine problem
ended his day.

The RailRiders’ Randy Ruiz (back) has words with IronPigs catcher Steven Lerud (9) after Ruiz struck
out to end the fifth inning. Both benches and bullpens emptied, but nothing came of the drama.
Although Cotham didn’t
get the win, the RailRiders
have now won five straight
games Cotham started,
including wins after losses
in the last four.
Before getting pulled
in the seventh, Cotham
allowed two hits and a
walk, but one of the bas-
erunners was caught steal-
ing. Tateyama inherited
the two runners and got a
strikeout to end the inning.
“Execution wise I felt
pretty good. Early on it
was just OK but then I just
settled in and was able
to throw my slider for a
strike,” Cotham said. “I
felt real good with it and
was able to throw enough
change-ups and curveballs
to make them respect my
fastball-slider.”
SWB had chances
against Lehigh Valley lefty
Tom Cochran all after-
noon, but couldn’t get the
big hit leaving 13 runners
on base and going 1 for
7 with runners in scor-
ing position, the only hit
being Johnson’s homer.
The RailRiders had run-
ners on second and third
in the first but that came
with two outs. Another
good chance was squan-
dered in the bottom of the
fourth when they loaded
with two outs, but the
soft-throwing Cochran got
David Adams via strikes to
end the frame. Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre didn’t get
another runner to third
until Johnson’s home run.
One of the more enter-
taining parts of the game
for the fans came when the
benches cleared after the
fifth inning. Randy Ruiz
struck out swinging to
end the inning, and he and
IronPigs catcher Steven
Lerud exchanged words.
Ruiz followed Lerud a
few feet before home plate
umpire Carlos Torres
broke up the action. Both
teams came off the bench-
es and the bullpens emp-
tied in defense of their
teammates, but the chaos
cleared up after the brief
exchange. No punches
were thrown and no inju-
ries or ejections occurred.

The winner of that game
advances to play in the U.S.
bracket final. Westport
hung on for a 9-7 win over
Sammamish, Wash., earlier
in the day.
Newark’s JackHardcastle
had a two-run double and
Brandon Sengphachanh
had a two-out home run in
the fourth for Newark.
The Mid-Atlantic cham-
pions (1-1) will face
Nashville, Tenn., in a
U.S. loser’s bracket game
Monday.
In an International game,
Mexico improved to 2-0
with a 13-0 four-inning win
over Aguadulce, Panama,
(1-1).
Espinoza hit a two-run
homer in the first to tie it.
Pietila-Wiggs hit a three-
run shot in the second
inning. Gaines hit a solo
home run as part of a two-
run third.
Though there were con-
cerns that the mound at
Volunteer Stadium was
too slick, Newark manager
John Ludman wouldn’t
blame that on the game’s
outcome.
“I don’t want to make
excuses,” Ludman said.
“They smoked us and that’s
the bottom line.”
That doesn’t mean there
wasn’t a problem with the
mound. And Tibbett also
complained of it being
slick, and forcing starter
Nick Mora to adjust his
motion.
Ludman was forced to
pull his starter, Hardcastle.
He said, he was advised
by a trainer that by slip-
ping on his plant foot,
Hardcastle was putting
pressure on his Achilles
tendon.
CONNECTICUT 9,
WASHINGTON 7
Winning pitcher Harry
Azadian had three hits and
four RBIs for Westport,
which blew it open with a
seven-run second-inning.
The surge came after
Sammamish starting pitch-
er Jacob Dahlstrom was
struck on the side of his
right knee with a line drive
hit by Tatin Llamas and did
not return to the game.
Charlie Roof, Max
Popken, Chad Knight and
Azadian had run-scoring
hits during against three
Sammamish pitchers.
Sammamish rallied by
scoring twice in the fourth
and four times more in the
fifth. Westport relief pitch-
er Alex Reiner stopped a
sixth-inning Sammamish
rally with a strikeout to
end the game.
MEXICO 13, PANAMA 0
Ramon Mendoza hit two
of Tijuana’s five home runs
against Aguadulce.
Brandon Montes hom-
ered on the fifth pitch of the
game, and Mexico broke
open the game with a five-
run second inning — keyed
by Mendoza’s grand slam.
Martin Gonzalez and
Saul Favela homered in
the third inning as Mexico
extended its lead to 10-0.
Mendoza’s second homer
of the game, this time a two-
run blast, capped the scor-
ing in the fourth. Mendoza
finished the game with six
RBIs.
Luis Manzo tossed a
one-hitter for the vic-
tory. He struck out three,
walked one and hit three
batters.
Jean Mar Sanchez had
the lone hit for Panama,
a single to open the first
inning.
his balance, had the ball slip out
of his hands and then hit his leg
and pop up into the air. Wayne
came down with it in the end
zone for a 7-3 lead.
An interception by new cor-
nerback Greg Toler on Eli
Manning’s third-down pass on
the ensuring series gave the ball
to the Colts at the New York 41.
Vinatieri made his 52-yarder
with about 10 yards to spare
after three plays moved the ball
to the 34.
Luck finished off his night,
leading the Colts on a seven-
play, 60-yard drive that featured
two third-down conversions on
passes to Hilton and a 15-yard
facemask penalty against Ross.
Both passes to Hilton covered 18
yards, with the second one com-
ing on a third-and-11 from the
New York 18.
Hilton beat Jayron Hosley to
the right corner of the end zone
and Luck floated a perfect pass
over the outstretched hands of
the cornerback. The play was
reviewed and the touchdown rul-
ing confirmed.
Without Cruz, the Giants
showed flashes on offense.
Manning finished 8 of 17 for
91 yards and halfbacks David
Wilson and Andre Brown did
OK, gaining 34 and 36, respec-
tively on eight carries apiece.
Brown provided the offense
with his kicking with most com-
ing after New York failed to take
advantage of scoring position.
Cruz bruised his heel on the
opening series, falling heavily
to the turf at MetLife Stadium
going up to catch a deep pass.
Pass interference was called on
the play.
Bass sprained a knee in the
opening quarter and the Giants
announced late the defensive
end and captain Justin Tuck had
a hamstring injury.
Colts tight end Coby Fleener
mildly sprained his right knee.
The RailRiders defeated Lehigh
Valley 2-0 on Sunday afternoon
at PNC Field as Dan Johnson
hit a walk-of homer. It was the
third game-ending blast by the
RailRiders this season as Casey
Stevenson and Randy Ruiz
accounted for the other two.
RailRiders at the plate: The
RailRiders had eight hits with
Melky Mesa, DanJohnson and
Ronnier Mustelier each netting
two. Johnson’s long ball was his
team-leading 21st of the season.
RailRiders on the mound:
Caleb Cothamput together
another strong outing for the
RailRiders pitching at least 6
2-3 innings for the fourth time
in his last four starts. He didn’t

Boo-hoo: Redskins Reed to debut vs. Steelers
WASHINGTON — In his NFL debut performance, Washington
Redskins rookie tight end Jordan Reed went 0 for 3.
He’s lucky he still has his hair.
This wasn’t from the Redskins’ preseason opener — Reed
missed that game with a sprained right foot — but the skits rook-
ies have to perform for the veterans during training camp.
First, Reed was supposed to supply the beat while some fellow
rookies rapped.
“I chickened out and I didn’t do the beat, so they booed me off
the stage,” Reed said. “I froze up.”
Given another chance, he was told to perform what he called a
“silly dance,” but the stage-shy Reed didn’t come through again.
He was going to play a video on his third try, but the machine
didn’t work.
“All three times I got booed,” Reed said. “So now it’s grown to
them cutting my hair off.”
By the end of last week, Reed’s scalp remained untouched —
“He’s got nice hair, so I felt like it was a little too harsh,” offensive
captain Trent Williams said. The third-round pick from Florida
was able to refocus his attention on the larger task at hand for
rookies league-wide: making a good first impression in an NFL
game, even if it’s a preseason one.
Reed’s foot is fine, and he should be ready to go Monday night
against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Just working hard all training camp makes me feel like I deserve
to play well in the game,” Reed said. “And having that mindset, I
think I will play well.”
It seems rookies are about the only NFL players who get reg-
ularly excited about the preseason anymore. The Steelers and
Redskins have their usual crop of draftees, some of whom are
expected to contribute right away, and it’s important to see how
they perform in a setting outside of training camp.
Assuming they’re healthy.
Pittsburgh first-rounder Jarvis Jones, who is trying to push
Jason Worilds for a starting job at linebacker, had a promising
debut in the Steelers’ preseason opener, recovering a fumble and
blowing up a screen pass with a one-handed tackle against the
New York Giants.
But second-round pick Le’Veon Bell missed the game with a
sore left knee and aggravated the injury in practice last week.
The running back from Michigan State is pegged to succeed the
departed Rashard Mendenhall, but that’s hard to do when not in
uniform. It’s uncertain whether he’ll play Monday.
“It’s not as bad as it was,” Bell said. “It just took me back a little
bit. I’ll be able to work through it and hopefully get on the field.”
Washington’s top pick is second-round cornerback David
Amerson, but sixth-round safety Bacarri Rambo has made the
major breakthrough, impressing coaches enough to work with the
starters throughout camp. His progress is even more vital now
that another Redskins rookie safety, fourth-round pick Phillip
Thomas, is out for the year with a foot injury.
Redskins fans will also be intrigued to see if Robert Griffin III
suits up again, even though coach Mike Shanahan has decreed
that the quarterback won’t play during the preseason while recov-
ering from major knee surgery.
Griffin has been lobbying to play. He put on the full uniform
for the first preseason game and said he’s “dang near close to 100
percent.” The public disagreement between Shanahan and Griffin
over the pace of the quarterback’s return became the overriding
story of training camp.

Frazier: Peterson will play this week
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Adrian Peterson has been cleared for
takeoff.
The reigning NFL MVP will make his preseason debut against
the San Francisco 49ers this week, Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie
Frazier said on Sunday. Peterson sat out the first two games against
Houston and Buffalo and hasn’t played in an exhibition game since
2011. The Vikings held the star running back out of all four games
in the preseason last year while he worked his way back from recon-
structive surgery on his left knee.
Frazier wasn’t ready to divulge exactly how much Peterson will
play at San Francisco, but there is no question that his mere presence
should be a boon to a starting offense that looked awfully ragged in
its first extensive playing time of the preseason at Buffalo last week.
“Without Adrian Peterson in our scheme, it impacts our offense
tremendously because he’s the focal point,” Frazier said. “Yeah, it
definitely makes a difference. That will be obvious when we open
up the season. It’s obvious if you look at us from a season ago and it
showed on Friday night.”
After playing just two plays in the exhibition opener against
Houston, Christian Ponder and the rest of the starting offense sans
Peterson played five series against the Bills. Ponder went 5 of 12 for
53 yards, was sacked on the first play of the game and also took a
14-yard loss when center John Sullivan fired a shotgun snap when
Ponder wasn’t looking. The offense failed to get a first down on four
of the five possessions while Ponder was in the game and managed
just three points.
For a young quarterback who is throwing to a new-look set of
receivers and has been dubbed as the single biggest factor in the
team’s hopes to return to the playoffs for a second straight season, it
did little to show he was poised for a breakout season. The Vikings
also dropped several passes and the offensive line looked completely
unprepared for the Bills’ exotic blitzes, so there was plenty of blame
to spread around.
“There’s a lot of things we’re going to be able to learn from the
tape, and I think next week in San Francisco is going to be the big
barometer of where we are as a team,” Ponder said after the game.
“I think the starters will play the first half and a little bit into the sec-
ond half. So we’ll learn from this one and move on to the next one.”
It is unlikely that Peterson will play that deep into the game
against one of the league’s toughest defenses. But just getting him
out there at all will be a change of pace from last year. Peterson was
working on coming back from a horrific knee injury in December of
2012, and the Vikings weren’t about to take any chances with the
face of their franchise.
Even though Peterson lobbied to get a little playing time so he
could get back into a rhythm, sitting all four games didn’t hurt him
one bit. He rushed for 2,097, nine yards shy of Eric Dickerson’s sin-
gle-season record, and 12 touchdowns, with eight runs of at least 40
yards in a jaw-dropping comeback season. He carried the Vikings
into the playoffs, where they lost to the Green Bay Packers in the
first round.
As important as Ponder’s progress is to the team, everyone knows
that the Vikings’ offense starts and ends with Peterson. That’s why it
wouldn’t have been surprising to see Peterson sit out the entire pre-
season for a second straight year to avoid the risk of injury and rest
up for what no doubt will be another high-carry season. But Frazier
said he wants to see Peterson out there next Sunday night, which
will give coaches a chance to evaluate the offense as a complete unit.
“We want to be a balanced offense,” Frazier said. “But as anyone
that follows us knows, our offense is going to be run through No. 28,
through Adrian.”
Whether he plays for a series, a quarter or a half, and whether he
gets one carry or 10, there is no doubt that having Peterson in the
backfield gives the offense a confidence that it does not have when
he’s on the sideline.
“That’s our back and we definitely would like to have him out
there, without a doubt,” right tackle Phil Loadholt said.

Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson will be back out on the
field for the team’s third preseason game.
Reed beats Spieth in
playof at Wyndham
GREENSBORO, N.C. —
In the span of a couple of
strokes, Patrick Reed went
from almost certain disas-
ter to his first PGA Tour
victory.
Reed won the Wyndham
Championship on Sunday
for his first title, beating
Jordan Spieth with a most
improbable birdie on the
second hole of a playoff.
Reed recovered from a
drive on the par-4 10th
that came a few feet from
going out of bounds and
stopped in some pine nee-
dles in the woods near a
television cable.
Reed pulled out his
7-iron, uncorked a base-
ball swing from an uphill
lie and sent the ball under
a tree branch — yet away
from the tree trunk — to
land his second shot 7 feet
from the pin.
“It was the best shot of
my life, that’s for sure,”
Reed said.
Spieth, who called it
“one of the best shots
I’ve ever witnessed,” had
reached the green in two
strokes, but his 10-foot
birdie putt trickled wide of
the cup.
Reed then sank his short
birdie putt that “felt like it
was 40” feet to end it.
“Just to get my first win
means everything to me,”
Reed said.
Reed, who had his third
straight top-10 finish,
earned $954,000 in prize
money and 500 FedEx
Cup points for winning the
final tournament before
the playoffs.
Reed and Spieth finished
regulation at 14-under 266.
Reed closed with a 4-under
66, and Spieth had a 65.
The 20-year-old Spieth,
the John Deere winner
in a playoff last month,
was denied in his bid to
become youngest two-time
champion in the modern
era of the PGA Tour.
John Huh and Brian
Harman were two strokes
behind. Harman had a 66,
and Huh shot 68. Matt
Jones matched the tour-
nament record for a final
round with a 62 and fin-
ished at 11 under along
with Matt Every (67) and
Zach Johnson (68).
Reed — who let a three-
stroke lead on the back
nine slip away — missed
a chance to win it on the
first playoff hole, the par-4
18th.
Spieth recovered from
a terrible drive and saved
par with a snaking 25-foot
putt.
Reed pushed his 7-foot
birdie putt wide of the
hole, sending it to a second
extra hole.
Martinez poised for big
fnish to Nebraska career
LINCOLN, Neb. —
With a full season still
to play, Taylor Martinez
already is Nebraska’s most
prolific quarterback, sta-
tistically.
He owns records for
career total offense and
passing, and he needs fewer
than 600 yards to overtake
2001 Heisman Trophy win-
ner Eric Crouch as the
school’s top rushing quar-
terback.
All Martinez lacks going
into his fourth season as the
starter is a championship.
He says he isn’t worried
about that. He plans to
keep doing what he’s been
doing with his breakaway
speed and improved pass-
ing and see where it takes
him and the 18th-ranked
Cornhuskers.
“Just keep on going out
there and just having fun,”
he said. “Just take it one
game at a time, just keep
on winning. That’s the most
important thing. Everything
else will fall in place.”
Martinez has won 29
of his 39 starts and joined
Colin Kaepernick (Nevada),
Vince Young (Texas) and
Brad Smith (Missouri) as
the only FBS quarterbacks
to pass for 6,000 yards
and rush for 2,500 in their
careers by the end of their
junior seasons.
Martinez established
himself as one of the nation’s
most dangerous run-pass
threats early in his freshman
year. He’s broken nine runs
of 50 yards or longer, and
he’s thrown a school-record
46 touchdowns passes.
For all the big numbers
he’s put up, Martinez knows
he can be better.
He threw 12 intercep-
tions and lost eight of his 16
fumbles last season. Only
North Carolina State’s Mike
Glennon and Mississippi’s
Bo Wallace committed
more than Martinez’s 20
turnovers.
Eight of Martinez’s
interceptions came when
the Huskers were trailing,
including four when they
were down by more than a
touchdown. He said he was
trying too hard to make
plays.
“That’s the only way you
can come back,” he said.
Even with the turnovers
and sacks, the Huskers
averaged 461 yards and 35
points a game.
“The only time we got
stopped was turning over
the football,” Martinez said.
“That was a huge emphasis
this past spring and fall. If
we keep working on that,
we should be pretty good.”

Taylor Martinez (3) has already set a handful of Nebraska records
before his senior season. But with one year left in his college
career, he’s most interested in getting the ‘Huskers into a BCS
bowl.

the cleanup at the Lincoln
Memorial is complete,
three weeks after the stat-
ue was vandalized with
green paint.
Park service spokes-
woman Carol Johnson
says the final treatment to
remove the last stubborn
traces of paint from the
monument was washed
off Friday morning and
the scaffolding around
the memorial has been
removed. She says the
preservation team has
removed all of the paint.
A woman charged with
defacing chapels at the
National Cathedral with
paint is also suspected
in the vandalism of the
memorial and other sites.

to a limited detention
facility earlier this month.

Maddie Essig, left, 10, watches a movie with her sister, Claire, 6,
from the tailgate of their parents’ car at Bengies Drive-In Theatre
in Middle River, Md. The latest threat to the existence of drive-in
theaters is the film industry’s conversion from 35 mm film to
digital prints, and the expense involved in converting projectors
to the digital age.
MITCH STACY
Associated Press
LANCASTER, Ohio —
Through 80 summers,
drive-in theaters have
managed to remain a part
of the American fabric,
surviving technological
advances and changing
tastes that put thousands
out of business. Now
the industry says a good
chunk of the 350 or so left
could be forced to turn
out the lights because
they can’t afford to adapt
to the digital age.
Movie studios are phas-
ing out 35 mm film prints,
and the switch to an even-
tually all-digital distribu-
tion system is pushing the
outdoor theaters to make
the expensive change to
digital projectors.
The $70,000-plus invest-
ment required per screen
is significant, especially
for what is in most places
a summertime business
kept alive by mom-and-pop
operators. Paying for the
switch would suck up most
owners’ profits for years to
come.
The United Drive-In
Theatre Owners Associ-
ation figures 50 to 60
theaters have already
converted. At least one
operator decided to close
instead of switch, but it’s
not clear how many more
might bite the dust.
“Everyone knows
eventually that you’ll be
digital or you’ll close
your doors,” says Walt
Effinger, whose Skyvue
Drive-In in the central
Ohio town of Lancaster
has been showing mov-
ies on an 80-foot screen
since 1948. “Some will. If
you’re not doing enough
business to justify the
expense, you’re just going
to have to close up.”
Effinger worked at the
Skyvue off and on for 30
years before he and his
wife, Cathie, bought it
two decades ago. They
converted to digital
last year, the first of the
state’s 29 drive-ins to do
so. Because the films now
come on a device the size
of a portable hard drive
and are downloaded to
his projector, it’s less
hassle for him on movie
nights and gives viewers
a stunningly brighter,
clearer image.
Think of the picture on
a flat-screen digital TV,
compared with the old
tube set.
The digital transfor-
mation has been under-
way in the film industry
for more than a decade
because of the better pic-
ture and sound quality
and the ease of delivery
— no more huge reels
of film. The time frame
isn’t clear, but production
companies are already
phasing out traditional 35
mm film, and it’s expect-
ed to disappear complete-
ly over the next few years.
“We know fewer and
fewer prints are being
struck,” says D. Edward
Vogel, who runs the
historic Bengies Drive-
In in Baltimore and is
spokesman for the United
Drive-In Theatre Owners
Association.
An industry incentive
program will reimburse
theater owners 80 percent
of the cost of conversion
over time, Vogel says, but
because most drive-ins
are small, family-run busi-
nesses, it’s hard for many
to find the money, period.
And the reimbursement
doesn’t cover the tens of
thousands of dollars more
that many will have to
spend renovating projec-
tion rooms to create the
climate-controlled condi-
tions needed for the high-
tech equipment.
It’s a dilemma also
faced by the nation’s small
independent theaters,
many of them struggling
to pay for conversion to
digital years after corpo-
rate-owned multiplexes
already did it.
Darci and Bill Wemple,
owners of two drive-ins in
upstate New York, hope
an online competition
will help them with the
$225,000 to $250,000 they
figure it will cost to switch
their three screens. The
American Honda Motor
Co. is compiling online
votes for the nation’s
favorite drive-ins and is
going to pay the digital
conversion costs for the
top five vote-getters. The
Wemples say that if they
don’t get help, they’ll have
to consider closing up.
“To make this kind of
conversion with three
screens is like trying to
buy another drive-in all
over again,” says Darci
Wemple, whose El Rancho
theater in Palatine Bridge
is among dozens of drive-
ins featured in the Honda
ad promotion.
The number of drive-
ins peaked at more than
4,000 in the late 1950s.
Now there are 357.
Robyn Deal and Dave
Foraker have been going
to the Skyvue in Lancaster
since they were both in
school in the 1960s and
early ’70s. On a recent
weekend night, they sat
together in folding chairs
outside their car, blankets
on their laps and their
12-year-old dachshund,
Wilson, getting lots of
attention just before a
double feature of “Turbo”
and “The Wolverine.”
“So much of our heri-
tage is going away, and
this is one of them,” said
the 60-year-old Foraker,
who figures his first
movie at the Skyvue was
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia
Woolf?” around 1966.
“A lot of the things I
did when I was kid are
gone,” he said. “I think
they’re trying to keep
what’s left.”

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
husband lost his job
more than a year
ago because his
plant closed. He was
almost retirement
age, so he took an
early retirement. The
problem is he isn’t adjusting well to
the change.
He has his hobbies, but he seems to
have lost interest in them. He is an-
gry a lot of the time and lost at other
times. I understand it’s a huge adjust-
ment for him, but I’m concerned that
it has been going on too long. I have
tried to get him interested in things,
but he doesn’t take my suggestions
well anymore. He thinks I want him
out of my hair, but it’s not true.
I know he’s depressed but he denies
it. When other people ask how he
likes retirement, he says he loves it. I
think he feels silly for not enjoying it.
He doesn’t want to spend money for
counseling.
I’m at a loss about what to do to
help him. He reads your column regu-
larly, and I think he would take seri-
ously any advice you could offer.
— Concerned Wife in Michigan
Dear Concerned Wife: Retirement is
not for everyone, and not everybody
“loves it.” That’s why it’s so impor-
tant that before a person retires, he
or she have a plan in place for staying
mentally and physically active.
Your husband may have valuable
skills he could pass on by mentor-
ing others. He could volunteer in
the community, delivering meals to
shut-ins, coaching youngsters’ sports,
help out at the police department or
a hospital. All he needs to do is go to
his computer and type in “volunteer
opportunities in Michigan” to find
plenty of opportunities. He can do-
nate as little or as much time as he
wants. But first, he will have to admit
that he ISN’T loving retirement and
needs an outlet. Please make sure he
sees this column.
Dear Abby: I’m 12, and for the last
five months my family hasn’t been
getting along. We act like we love
each other, but I’m not so sure. My
mom and dad have been fighting. I
saw something Mom left on our com-
puter she had been looking at, and
the title was “How to Let Go of Emo-
tions During the Divorce Process.” I
don’t know if my parents are getting
a divorce or not, but it’s tearing my
family apart, and I don’t know what
to do. What can I do to prevent it?
— Confused Pre-Teen
Dear Confused: Tell your mother you
saw the article on the computer, and
ask her if she and your dad are sepa-
rating. If the answer is yes, tell her
you hope they’re getting counseling.
It is important you understand that
while they both love YOU, they have
reached a point where their relation-
ship may no longer be working. Much
as you might like to, there is nothing
you can “do” to head this off because
their problem has only to do with
them and not you.
Dear Abby: I was just wondering
why when men drink and get drunk,
they always talk about themselves.
— Heather in New Hampshire
Dear Heather: They may do it be-
cause the alcohol allows them to
loosen up and open up. Or, because
they think the subject is fascinating,
and you are a willing listener.

memorable — and most frequently re-

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most
people would be stressed by
today’s financial decisions, but
not you. You’ll remain calm,
assigning no special power to
the dollars and cents in question.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
don’t have to reach to come up
with solutions. Your imagina-
tion is overflowing with creative
fixes. It seems to be an endless
resource for entertainment, as
well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have
romantic mojo at your fingertips,
and whomever you touch will
feel happier, lighter and more
loved because of your attention.
You’ll spend most of the day sim-
ply spreading good energy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). What
happens easily and quickly will
bring you good fortune. If it’s
taking too long, bail. Today, it’s
better to do nothing than to
stand in a long line for some-
thing you’re not sure about.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some cry
for help at the slightest provoca-
tion. You like to deal with things
on your own. A rescuer will step
in today, whether or not you
deem the situation dire.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Families
may seem to come as a package
deal today. You won’t get to pick
and choose from the group you
want to spend your time with.
It’s all or nothing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wrong
turns are no big deal as long as
you quickly try to find the way
back to the right road. There is
no sense in staying on a road
that clearly is not leading you in
the direction you want to go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
don’t want to hear declarations
of love. You’d rather know that
someone really appreciates the
way you think and operate. Your
true love is the one who pays the
closest attention to detail.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
May is your chance to be on
stage in some way. You will sell
a group on your ingenious idea
or clever solution. Improvements
in June make your environment
attractive and peaceful.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As
long as you’re making plans, you
may as well include your most
capable, generous and talented
friends. They will contribute
unexpected nuances and create
memories in the process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Holding on too tightly to an idea
in your head of what will make
you happy might prevent you
from seizing the opportunity for
even greater happiness, the likes
of which you’ve never conceived.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even
if you are the only one who is
limiting you, self-limitation can
be the hardest to overcome. So
talk through your situation with
a friend who might shed light on
the part that is so familiar to you
that you can’t see it.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 19).
You feel; therefore you are. Your
confidence will strongly affect
the success of your efforts. You’ll
have to work for the bonus you
get in October, but this will ready
you for the next professional
challenge. You’ll be favored in a
decision in December. Your lucky
numbers are: 2, 4, 44, 28 and 10.
