Vol. 121, No. 211
Local man sentenced for 'bath salts' deal
By Ted Lutz
Staff Writer
SMETHPORT – A former Kane businessman
has been sentenced to
state prison for his role in
a "bath salts" drug deal.
James Patrick Perry,
52, will spend a minimum
of about 16 1/2 months in
state prison, according to
the sentence handed down
Wednesday
by
Senior
Judge William Morgan of
Warren.
The sentence rendered
in McKean County Court
includes about 4 1/2
months for a violation of
his 2011 probation in another case. The maximum
prison term in both cases is
about 5 1/2 years.
Perry is receiving credit
for 233 days of incarceration in the McKean County
Jail since his arrest Jan.
27.
Perry originally was
charged with five counts,
including three felonies.
Last month he pleaded
guilty to a felony charge of
manufacture, delivery or
possession with the intent
to manufacture or deliver.
In exchange for the guilty
plea, the four other charges were dismissed.
Without the plea deal,
Morgan told Perry he
would have "given you even
longer time" in prison.
"I just messed up," Perry
told the judge prior to his
sentencing. "I'm just lost.
I'm sick; I don't have very
good health."
Referring to the defendant's past criminal record, Morgan told Perry
that "you haven't learned
any lessons."
Morgan four years ago
sentenced Perry to five
years of probation in a case
involving the theft of more
than $20,000 in state lottery funds. Perry sold lottery tickets at his business
in Kane.

They also questioned why the firstterm governor would
oppose the idea of
speeding a shortterm shot of money to
school districts, counties and nonprofit
social services organizations that are
searching for ways to
scrape by without state aid
during the 11-week standoff.
Wolf, in response, called
the GOP's budget measure
a cynical and hypocritical
attempt to make people believe Republican lawmakers are trying to help the
same schools and social
services agencies for which
they cut funding in recent
years.
Wolf accused them of
misrepresenting the status
of closed-door negotiations
by not telling reporters that
he had made a fresh counter offer.
"They're poking me in
the eye again, that's exactly
what this is about," Wolf
told reporters during a news
conference in his Capitol offices. "They want to see how
far they can push me. They
can't. ... This stopgap (plan)
is a poke in the eye and I'm
treating it as such. I'm going to veto it."
He also said that the day
had served as a "stark example of how broken Harrisburg is."
Republicans said that,
in any case, an agreement
is weeks away and cash-

Trump takes command of GOP debate, rivals seek breakthrough
SIMI VALLEY, Calif.
(AP) — Along with the
back-and-forth bickering
over Donald Trump, the
Republican primary took
a substantive and serious turn in Wednesday's
prime-time debate, with
candidates wrangling over
Russia, Iran, immigration
and gay marriage.
The policy focus marked
a shift for a campaign that
has so far revolved around
the rise of Trump. The
brash billionaire was still
a target for the 10 other
candidates joining him
on stage, but the heavier
policy focus had the effect
of temporarily sidelining
Trump after the debate's
opening moments.
For most of the participants, the shift appeared
to come as a welcome relief.
The policy debates still
exposed rifts within the
Republican Party, particu-
larly the split between political outsiders and candidates with long resumes
in Washington and governor's mansions. Trump
and Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard executive and only woman in
the GOP field, emphasized
how their business backgrounds would help them
negotiate with difficult
world leaders, including
Russia's president.
"Vladimir Putin would
get the message," said Fiorina, who was joining the
main debate for the first
time after a strong performance in an undercard
event last month.
Trump, who has capitalized on his outsider appeal,
said the three senators in
the field — Marco Rubio,
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz
— bore some responsibility
for the unabated violence
in Syria. He said as president, he would have gone
in with "tremendous force"
when the Syrian regime
used chemical weapons.
On Iran, the candidates
were split on whether they
would tear up President
Barack Obama's nuclear
accord with Iran if elected.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush and Ohio Gov. John
Kasich took a measured
approach, saying ripping
up a deal agreed to not
only by the U.S. but also
several allies was not a
strategy for stopping Iran
from acquiring a nuclear
weapon.
In an exchange on gay
marriage and religious liberty, former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee argued
forcefully for the right of
Kentucky county clerk
Kim Davis to defy the Supreme Court's decision legalizing gay marriage. "I
thought that everyone here
passed ninth grade civics.
The courts can't legislate,"
he said. "I thought we had
three branches of government." Huckabee declined
to criticize Bush for saying Davis did not have the
right to deny gays marriage licenses. Bush said
he supports defending the
rights of religious people to
refuse to endorse gay marriage, but he said someone
else in Davis' office should
sign the certificates since
the Supreme Court ruling
is the law of the land.
"I think there needs
to be accommodation for
someone acting on their
faith," he said.
Even as Trump faded
somewhat in the policy
discussions, he was hardly invisible in the debate.
He praised himself while
deriding and scoring his
rivals in the opening minutes of the debate at the
Regan Presidential Library in southern California.

HEALTH beat
6 questions to ask your child’s pediatrician
(BPT) - Most parents
bring their children to the
doctor when they’re sick, but
now is a great opportunity to
be proactive and schedule a
wellness checkup. This allows you and your doctor
to take a broader look at a
child’s overall health and
well-being to ensure he or
she is developing properly.
“Wellness checkups provide more time for parents
to ask questions,” says St.
George’s University alum
Dr. Susan Dulkerian, Chair
of Pediatrics at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore.
“Rather than waiting until
your child is sick or an issue
arises, a wellness checkup is
an opportunity to take pre-
ventive measures, maintain
a healthy lifestyle and keep
your peace of mind.”
Dr. Dulkerian suggests
that every parent should ask
the following questions during a wellness checkup.
Are my child’s immunizations up to date?
Your child’s school may
require certain immunizations prior to the first day of
class. Work with your doctor
to ensure your child is protected from disease, even if
the school year has already
started. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) provides immunization recommendations and
schedules for children, teens
and adults.
Is my child at a
healthy weight for his or
her height and age?
Childhood obesity has
more than doubled in children and quadrupled in
adolescents in the past 30
years, according to the CDC.
A wellness checkup provides
the perfect opportunity to
ask your doctor about BMI
measurement and many
other concerns. Your doctor will also be able to suggest prevention ideas and
healthy-lifestyle habits for
kids.
How
much
sleep
should my child get?
Sleep is a fundamental
element of anyone’s health
and is particularly impor-
tant for kids whose bodies
are still growing. Ask your
doctor about proper sleep
amounts for your child’s age.
For example, children aged
6-13 need 9-11 hours of sleep
while 3-5-year-olds typically
need 11-13 hours.
Is my child developing normally and meeting milestones?
While every child is
unique, each should reach
certain mental and physical
developmental milestones
around similar times from
birth to 18 years and beyond. Ask your doctor if he
or she has any concerns and
which milestones you should
expect for your child’s age.
How can my child
handle anxiety and other
mental-health concerns?
Your child’s annual
checkup isn’t just for checking physical health-it’s the
ideal time to bring up any
additional areas of concern
where your child may be
struggling. For example,
is your child experiencing
anxiety about starting a new
school year? Having trouble
dealing with body changes
during puberty? Is he or she
struggling
academically?
Your physician is a great
resource who can help your
child work through these issues and recommend a specialist if need be.
What do you recommend if my child is being
bullied?
Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying
each year. Bullying is a hot
topic and many kids keep issues like this to themselves.
Parents can be advocates by
asking doctors how issues
should be handled properly.
“Make a list of your top
concerns and present them
to your doctor at the beginning of the visit to ensure
you get all the information you need,” advises Dr.
Dulkerian. “Talk with anyone who may care for your
child, such as a daycare
provider or grandparent, for
further input before your
child’s checkup appointment.”
Health consequences of hard water
(BPT) - When you look
at the cities that attract the
most new citizens, particularly those in the senior age
brackets, Phoenix and Tucson are usually up near the
top of the lists. With sunny
days, warm temperatures
and golf courses galore both have stunning outdoor
environments to be enjoyed
throughout the year.
Unfortunately,
both
Phoenix and Tucson are
among the top 10 U.S. cities
facing water problems. As
residents are well aware,
the water they use on a
daily basis is laden with
minerals from the Colorado
River. The water hardness
figures regularly posted
in the City of Phoenix Water Quality Annual Report
vary between 170 and 292
parts per million (ppm),
placing it well into the very
hard water zone.
Perhaps the greatest
concern is on the role of
hard water on the condition
of the skin - our original
body armor - the largest organ of the body and the one
responsible for protecting
us from all environmental
challenges. The combination of soap and hard water
has long been known to result in dermatitis.
The National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases warns that the
skin of people with dermatitis lacks infection-fighting
proteins, making them susceptible to skin infections
caused by bacteria, viruses
and all forms of mold, conditions leading to further
serious complications.
“Hard water contains
minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron,
which can dry and harden
on the skin,” says Barbara
R. Reed, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at
the University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center,
Denver. “Minerals drying
on the skin can clog pores
and cause flaking and itching.”
But the problems with
hard water extend way
beyond that. The health
effects of hard water are
mainly due to the effects of
the high levels of calcium
and magnesium. More than
¾ of kidney stones are generally composed of calcium.
Environmental and nutritional factors that cause
kidney stones include dehydration, a diet rich in animal proteins and calcium.
Studies show that softened
water is preferable to hard
water, since it is associated
with a lower risk for recurrence of kidney stones.
Fortunately, a salt-
Cardiovascular
Operating Rooms
based water softener is the
most functional and cost effective means of removing
hardness minerals. It is a
time-tested, highly reliable
tool to improve health and
to lower maintenance costs
for home appliances like
dishwashers and washing
machine. It also reduces
the need for detergents and
high water temperatures,
leading to a smaller household carbon footprint.

SIGNS OF ADULT HEARING LOSS
Because hearing loss in adults can
develop gradually over several years,
most people are not aware of the extent of their loss until family or friends
bring it to their attention. Knowing the
risk factors and recognizing the symptoms of hearing loss in yourself or
someone you know is the ¿rst step to
improving the situation. The following
conditions are risk factors for hearing
loss and should be evaluated.
• Trouble understanding people
• Dizziness or balance problem
• Tinnitus or ringing in the ears
• Muffed or plugged ears
• Ear trauma or head trauma
• Certain ototoxic drugs
• Family history of hearin loss

mittee, called the program
a failure, outlined his vision
of a U.S. strategy to fight IS
and suggested that more
American servicemen and
women might eventually be
needed.
"We need to help establish safe zones inside
Syria where refugees and
displaced people can be secure," McCain said. "We
need forward air controllers
to add precision and lethality to our air campaign. ...
While no one believes that
we need to invade Iraq or
Syria, the fact is that we
will likely need additional
U.S. special forces and military advisers to be successful."
Austin said he would not
recommend a buffer zone at
this time.
Christine Wormuth, undersecretary of defense for
policy, told senators that
the U.S. was looking at how
to speed up the recruiting
and screening processes. It
has taken months to identify and screen Syrian rebels, and many who are willing to fight are under 18 or
have medical issues.
"While not 10 feet tall,
ISIL remains a thinking enemy that adapts to
evolving conditions on the
battlefield," Wormuth said.
"In Iraq the pace of our
program has moved more
slowly than we'd like, and
in Syria, the stringent vetting criteria we're using at
the outset of the program
has contributed to smaller
numbers than we'd hoped
for."
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Obama administration
is weighing an offer from
Russia to have military-tomilitary talks and meetings
on the situation in Syria
amid increasing U.S. concern and uncertainty about
Russia's military buildup
there, Secretary of State
John Kerry said Wednesday.
Kerry said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had proposed the consultation in a phone call on
Tuesday and that the White
House, Pentagon and State
Department were considering it. Kerry suggested
that he favored such an
idea, noting that the United
States wants a clear picture
of what Russia's intentions
are in Syria following a recent military buildup there.
Lavrov proposed a "military-to-military conversation and meeting in order to
discuss the issue of precisely what will be done to deconflict with respect to any
potential risks that might
be run and have a complete
and clear understanding as
to the road ahead and what
the intentions are," Kerry
told reporters at a joint
State Department news
conference with South Africa's foreign minister.
"You have a conversation
in order to do that," Kerry
said. "It is vital to avoid
misunderstandings, miscalculations (and) not to put
ourselves in a predicament
where we are supposing
something and the supposition is wrong."

Josh Earnest, without commenting on specific consultations, said the Obama

administration "would welcome constructive Russian
support for the efforts of the
anti-ISIL coalition in Iraq
and in Syria."
Kerry said Lavrov had
told him that Russia was
only interested in confronting the threat posed by
the Islamic State group in
Syria. But Kerry stressed
it remained unclear if that
position would change and
Russia would mount a defense of Syrian President
Bashar Assad who the U.S.
believes must leave power.
"Obviously, there a questions about that," he said. "I
am not taking that at face
value."
However, he added that
if Russia is only focused
on the Islamic State group
then it remains a potential
partner in pushing for a political transition in Syria.
"If Russia is only focused
only on ISIL and if there is
a capacity for cooperation
... there still is a way to get
a political negotiation and
outcome," he said.
Kerry also said he had
spoken on Wednesday with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who office announced earlier that
he would visit Moscow next
week to discuss Syria with
Russian President Vladimir
Putin.
His comment come as
Russia's military buildup
in Syria has perplexed the
Obama administration and
left it in a quandary as to
how to respond.
In his call with Lavrov
on Tuesday, his third in 10
days, Kerry said he sought
clarity about Moscow's
moves and warned that
Russian support for Assad
"risks exacerbating and extending the conflict."

it weren't so, but that's the
fact."
Austin told committee
members that the U.S.
was looking at better ways
to deploy the Syrian forces, but he admitted the
U.S. was not even close to
reaching its goal of training 5,000-plus in the near
term. He predicted it would
take years to defeat IS and
to restore stability in Iraq
and Syria.
"OK. So we're counting
on our fingers and toes at
this point when we had envisioned 5,400 by the end
of the year," lamented Sen.
Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
Austin maintained the
operation was making
progress and said the military had always insisted
the campaign would take
time. The Pentagon also
made it clear that U.S. military troops have done no
training in Syria. Instead,
U.S. special operations
forces work with Syrian
troops outside the country,
including across the border
in Iraq.
"We should expect that
there will be occasional
setbacks along the way,
particularly in the early
stages," he said. "And our
partners, not us, are in the
lead. It is taking a bit longer to get things done, but
it must be this way if we are
to achieve lasting and positive effects."
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said
it's easy for critics to "play
Monday morning quarterback" on the training program's slow progress. He
said the president believed
the training program could
be a chance to expand the
number of Syrian fighters
who could cooperate with
the U.S., but "thus far,
that's not been the result."
He said the Pentagon was
working to make changes
to get a better result.

BERRY SWAGS • FALL GOODIES •
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— No more than five U.S.trained Syrian rebels are
fighting the Islamic State,
astoundingly short of the
envisioned 5,000, the top
U.S. commander in the
Middle East told angry
lawmakers on Wednesday.
They branded the training
program "a total failure."
After the first 54 fighters were sent in to fight in
July, a Syrian affiliate of alQaida attacked the group,
killing several and taking
others hostage while many
fled. Asked how many remain, Gen. Lloyd Austin
told the Senate Armed
Services Committee, "It's
a small number. ... We're
talking four or five."
Congress has approved
$500 million to train Syrian fighters, and officials
have said fewer than 200
are going through training
now. One of the problems
has been that many Syrian
fighters want training and
equipment to fight the government forces of President
Bashar Assad, but the U.S.
program is limited to rebels
who agree to only battle the
militants.
The stunning admission from Austin came as
defense officials scrambled
separately to respond to allegations that they skewed
intelligence assessments to
give a rosier picture of conditions on the battlefield.
The Obama administration was already struggling
to defend its military strategy to "destroy and degrade"
the terrorist group with an
air campaign and programs
to train, assist and equip local forces. Lawmakers and
Republican
presidential
candidates have assailed
the administration, contending that it has had limited or no success in fighting the militants.
"We have to acknowledge
this is a total failure," Sen.
Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said
about the training. "I wish

Myers took part in the
investigation along with
another McKean County
detective-- Scott Nelson of
Kane.
Jill Cleer, 56, who lived
at the Westwind Road residence with Perry, and Roger Akins, 30, of Kane, also
were charged in the "bath
salts" deal.
Akins was sentenced
last month to serve nine to
23 1/2 months in county jail
for criminal use of a communication facility and six
months probation for possession of a controlled substance. He could reduce his
jail term through community service.
Cleer was sentenced last
month to probation in this
case. She pleaded guilty
in June to possession of
a controlled substance
and drug paraphernalia.
She told McKean County
Judge John Pavlock that
she "made the call" to law
enforcement officials about
the "bath salts" deal involving Perry.
Morgan previously directed Perry to have "no
contact" with the co-defendants-- Cleer and Akins.
In court Wednesday,
Perry claimed he has "an
ongoing relationship" with
Cleer and wishes to "interact with her." Cleer was
not present in the courtroom.
the package was sent to a
chemist, who identified the
contents as "bath salts."
Myers testified that his
office then made plans for
a "controlled delivery" of
390 grams of "bath salts"
at the Perry residence on
Westwind Road in Wetmore Township. Myers
said the "street value" of
this delivery is estimated
at between $78,000 and
$80,000.
Myers testified that
"bath salts is a significant
problem" in the region.
He said the "epidemic" is
"moving this way."
Posing as a FedEx delivery driver, a State Police
trooper delivered the "bath
salts" package in a FedEx
box.
According
to
court
documents, "the defendant (Perry) admitted to
knowing that the package
was to be delivered to his
residence and admitted to
knowing that the package
contained bath salts."
Myers said a search
warrant was obtained from
the McKean County Court
to seek items in the Perry
residence. The Customs
and Border Protection Office of Air and Marines
provided a surveillance helicopter at the scene of the

gram or a total of $200,000,
court records show.
Fred Myers, a narcotics
agent with the state Attorney General's office in
Erie, outlined the "bath
salts" case against Perry
in testimony at a hearing
earlier this year in Kane
District Court.
Myers testified that Perry in early January provided the Emporium woman
with $1,300 in cash to buy
a kilo of "bath salts" from
China.
Myers testified that a
kilo is a "large quantity" of
"bath salts."
Myers said his office contacted the federal Customs
and Border Protection office to "seize" the incoming package of "bath salts"
aboard a flight landing at
the JFK Airport in New
York. He said a portion of

Guest Commentary
Life Expectancy and
Your Social Security
According to a recent
report by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, life expectancy in
the United States is the
longest ever, approaching
79 years. This was highlighted in the recent Time
cover story, “This Baby
Could Live to Be 142 Years
Old.” With very few exceptions—such as the flu
pandemic of 1918, which
caused the life expectancy
to temporarily plummet
by a dozen years—our life
expectancy has continued
with a positive trend line
throughout our nation’s
history.
During my lifetime, life
expectancy has increased
from 70 to almost 79. In
1960, when life expectancy
was 70, full retirement age
for Social Security was 65.
Therefore, on average, it
was necessary for Social
Security benefits to be
able to fund five years of
retirement. Now, as life
expectancy approaches 79,
full retirement age has
increased to 67. Hence,
on average, it will now be
necessary for Social Security benefits to fund 12
years of retirement.
Social Security has been
labeled the “third rail of
American politics.” This
label, going back to (at
least) the Reagan era, predicts that politicians who
are so bold as to propose
changes in these benefits
are committing political
suicide. The increase in
retirement age (that continues to grow from age 65
to age 67) was enacted in
1983 and signed into law
by President Reagan. His
landslide reelection in the
following year suggests
that changes to Social
Security might not be as
suicidal as the phrase suggests.
When I talk with college
students and emerging
adults, they often suggest
that they do not expect to
realize any Social Security
benefits. They expect the
system to implode long
before they retire. This
is unacceptable. It would
be extremely selfish of
our generation to bankrupt this system without
finding some long-term
solution.
Apart from the Social
Security angle, the reality is that over the last
decade, pension and
retirement benefits have
collapsed or have been
drastically cut for many
Americans. Those who
carefully planned and
managed their expected
retirement position often
had to make life-changing
adjustments in order to
regain that position. According to recent reports,
however, many Americans
have simply ceased to plan
and save for retirement.
It is unreasonable to
expect our youth to fund
12 years of retirement.
It is time to revisit this
issue and undergo serious bipartisan work to
make it better. The longer
life expectancy must be
considered as we plan
for the future stability of
retirement benefits—the
future financial stability
of our children and grandchildren.

Guest Commentary
Don't Just Fire Officer James Frascatore; Arrest Him
New York City Police Officer James Frascatore has
given new meaning to the
Grand Slam of tennis. Last
week, he violently assaulted retired tennis champion
James Blake in front of
the Grand Hyatt Hotel,
tackling Blake as he was
waiting for a ride to watch
the U.S. Open. Blake,
a 35-year-old AfricanAmerican, was formerly
the top men's tennis player
in the United States, was
fourth in the world and
has scores of trophies from
around the globe. Blake
didn't know what hit him.
If the New York Police
Department had taken
previous charges against
Frascatore seriously, Blake
would have never been
attacked. Frascatore is
white and has been with
the NYPD for four years,
and in that short time has
provoked multiple lawsuits
alleging police brutality
and excessive force, as well
as numerous complaints
to the police oversight
Civilian Complaint Review
Board. So, while James
Blake has long excelled on
the court, James Frascatore excels at being sued
in court. Frascatore has a
clear pattern of racist violence against innocent citizens. It is only because he
assaulted a man of means,
a celebrity, captured on
video, that his conduct is
under scrutiny. Both Police
Commissioner William
Bratton and Mayor Bill de
Blasio have called Blake
and apologized.
Warren Diggs is still
waiting for his calls of
apology from the two men.
On Jan. 13, 2013, he was
riding his bicycle home
in the neighborhood of
Jamaica, Queens. As he
reached his driveway, he
told us, speaking on the
"Democracy Now!" news
hour: "I go down the driveway, and on the way down,
I hear somebody yell to
me, 'Stop! Where are you
going? Where are you going?' So, I'm not sure if it's
for me, because, you know,
there's no reason for it, but
there's nobody else outside
at this time."
He went on: "Officer
Frascatore, two other officers come running down
the driveway. 'Where you
going? Where you going?'
I said, 'I'm going home.
What's the problem?' They
said, 'What's your name?
Do you have any ID?' I
said, 'My name is Warren.
Yes, I have ID, but I don't
have it on me. It's inside.'"
Diggs slowly pulled the
keys from his pocket and
unlocked the two doors
to his home. "As soon as
my second foot reaches
the landing, Frascatore
grabs me, tries to pull
me out and just spins me
around," he continued. "I
asked him, like, 'What's
the problem?' The other
officer grabs my other arm,
and they both yank me out
into the driveway. So I'm
saying, 'What is the problem? What is this about?'
Frascatore punches me in
the side of the head. The
officer that was behind
me, he grabs me around
Today is Thursday, September 17, the 260th day of
2015. There are 105 days
left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On September 17, 1787,
the Constitution of the
United States was completed and signed by a majority
of delegates attending the
Constitutional Convention
in Philadelphia.
On this date:
In 1862, more than 3,600
men were killed in the Civil
War Battle of Antietam (anTEE'-tum) in Maryland.
In 1937, the likeness of
President Abraham Lincoln's head was dedicated
at Mount Rushmore.
In 1939, the Soviet
Union invaded Poland during World War II, more
than two weeks after Nazi
Germany had launched its
assault.
In 1944, during World
War II, Allied paratroopers
launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind
German lines in the Netherlands. (After initial success, the Allies were beaten
back by the Germans.)
In 1955, Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded "Sixteen
Tons" by Merle Travis for
Capitol Records in Hollywood.
In 1964, the James Bond
movie "Goldfinger," starring Sean Connery, premiered in London. The fantasy sitcom "Bewitched,"
starring Elizabeth Montgomery, debuted on ABC-
TV.
In 1971, citing health
reasons, Supreme Court
Justice Hugo Black, 85, retired. (Black, who was succeeded by Lewis F. Powell
Jr., died eight days after
making his announcement.)
In 1984, Progressive
Conservative leader Brian
Mulroney
(muhl-ROO'nee) took office as Canada's
18th prime minister.
In 1994, Heather Whitestone of Alabama was
crowned the first deaf Miss
America.
In 2011, a demonstration
calling itself Occupy Wall
Street began in New York,
prompting similar protests
around the U.S. and the
world.
Ten years ago: Two passengers were killed, more
than 100 people hurt when
a Chicago Metra commuter
train derailed while changing tracks at high speed.
Insurgents assassinated a
Kurdish member of parliament, his brother and their
driver in an ambush north
of Baghdad.
Five years ago: Thousands of cheering Catholic
schoolchildren feted Pope
Benedict XVI on his second
day in Britain, offering a
boisterous welcome, as the
pontiff urged their teachers to make sure to provide
a trusting, safe environment. A scientist and his
wife who once worked at a
top-secret U.S. nuclear laboratory were arrested after
my waist, picks me up, he
slams me on the ground."
It was dark, and no one
was around to witness the
beating. Warren Diggs
choked up with emotion
as he continued to recount
his ordeal: "Frascatore
drops down on me. The
guy behind me hits me in
my back. I'm getting hit
all in my side. I see two
other cops come down the
ramp. And I'm getting hit,
I'm getting hit. I'm asking,
what are they doing, what
are they doing? Nobody's
saying anything to me, so
I start screaming for my
girlfriend to come outside.
I'm calling her, calling her,
calling her, and she doesn't
respond. So I just start
screaming, 'Help! Help!
Help! Help!' over and over
again, louder and louder,
as loud as I could."
"A hand appears in front
of me," he went on. "I get
maced in my forehead.
I close my eyes, and I'm
getting hit and getting hit.
I hear again, 'Mace him
again. Mace him again.' I
get maced a second time.
I'm still getting hit."
Nafeesah Hines, Diggs'
girlfriend, came outside,
at which time Diggs said
the beating stopped. She
took his bicycle inside as
the police led Diggs to the
squad car.
Hines made an audio
recording of what followed, capturing a chilling
exchange as police forced
their way into her house
and arrested her, as well,
for "tampering with evidence." That's right: since
the police accused Diggs of
riding on the sidewalk, the
bike was evidence. Diggs
didn't know that his girlfriend had been arrested
until he saw her later, at
the station, handcuffed to
a bench in her nightgown.
In the station, Diggs was
subjected to racial slurs.
They said he looked like
an animal, and lived in the
jungle. Diggs had been so
badly beaten and maced,
a medic asked that he be
released into her custody,
but the police refused.
Ultimately, all charges
against Diggs and Hines
were dropped. Diggs filed
a federal lawsuit against
Officers James Frascatore, Timothy Costello,
Alex Lombardozzi, Jared
Hospedales and others
present whose names are
not yet known. But these
are just civil charges.
The NYPD and Mayor de
Blasio must take swift
action. James Blake and
others have called for
his assailant to be fired.
But Frascatore and his
co-conspirators should be
arrested. They are a threat
to public safety.

ed for auction at the "Upset Sale" include liens,
judgments, mortgages and
other encumbrances, bidders are cautious in buying
the parcels.
"We normally don't sell a
lot of properties at the 'Upset Sale,'" Tennies said.
There were 128 properties in the county on the
original list for the "Upset
Sale." More than a dozen
property-owners paid their
taxes just prior to the auction.
The only Kane area
property sold at the "Upset Sale" is a lot on Forest
Street in Wetmore Township.
The lone bidder agreed
to pay the minimum of
$1,362.85 for the 99x80foot lot. Tennies is withholding the name of the
successful bidder pending
a court order approving the
final sale of the property.
The major bidding war
involved three bidders interested in 26 acres of vacant land on Aqua Drive in
Lafayette Township, Tennies said.
The
minimum
was
$1,176.99. But the winning
bidder paid $7,200 for the
property, Tennies said.
Property at 21 Pithole
Rd., Keating Township,
sold for the minimum of
$2,026.86, Tennies said.
Property at 23 North
St., Bradford, sold for the
minimum of $2,218.08, she
said.
The list of unsold properties includes one parcel in
Hamilton Township, seven
in Hamlin Township, 11 in
Kane, five in Mt. Jewett
and five in Wetmore Township.
Tennies said properties with delinquent taxes
now will go on the list for
the "Judicial Sale" auction
to be aheld in July at the
courthouse.
Properties offered at
the "Judicial Sale" attract
more bidders because they
are "free and clear" of all
liens, judgments and mortgages.
Properties not sold at the
"Judicial Sale" go into the
county repository and are
available for purchase at
any time during the year.
The minimum price for
repository property is $250.
Tennies said she has received "several" offers for
the purchase of Kane area
properties now held in the
county repository.
When time permits,
Tennies said she would be
notifying the taxing bodies of the offers. Approval
is needed from all three
taxing bodies-- the school
district, municipality and
county-- for the sale of
properties held in the repository.

strapped schools and social-services organizations

in the meantime.
"What is the harm of getting the money out to these
folks while we continue
to talk?" Senate Majority
Leader Jake Corman, RCentre, said. "I just can't
understand the harm of a
stopgap budget and why
anybody would veto it."
The $11 billion stopgap bill would deliver four
months of money, retroactive to July 1. It passed
the Appropriations Committee on a party-line vote
Wednesday, and Senate
passage was expected later
this week. House action is
expected next week.
Wednesday's counteroffers, as outlined by the Wolf
administration,
included
gestures toward two key
GOP demands: that the
state privatize its control
of wine and liquor sales
and replace the traditional
pension benefit for future
school and state government employees with contributions to a 401(k)-style
retirement plan.
As a compromise, administration officials said they
offered to hire a private
manager to run the state's
wine and liquor system.

That included the possibility of allowing alcoholic beverages into supermarkets
and convenience stores,
they said.
On pension benefits, administration officials said
they had proposed a plan
to save $20 billion in the
coming decades on pension
debt, partly by imposing a
$75,000 limit on the amount
of an employee's salary that
would count toward the
traditional pension benefit.
Salaries above that would
get a 2.5 percent match in a
401(k)-style plan, they said.
Still, Wolf continued to
insist on a multibilliondollar tax increase, in part
to wipe out Republicanpassed funding cuts in previous years and to resolve a
long-term budget deficit.
Earlier in the day, top
Republican state senators
briefed reporters on their
talks and said that Wolf
had rejected their Aug. 19
offer.
That offer included meeting a key demand of Wolf's
to boost state aid to public schools in exchange for
him supporting a Republican measure to replace
the traditional benefit in
Pennsylvania's major public pension systems with a
401(k)-style plan.

SANTIAGO,
Chile
(AP) — A powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake hit
off Chile's northern coast
Wednesday night, causing buildings to sway in
the capital of Santiago and
prompting authorities to
issue a tsunami warning
for the Andean nation's entire coast.
Officials reported one
death in a town north
of the capital and heavy
waves and some flooding in
a handful of coastal cities.
The tremor was so
strong that people on the
other side of the continent,
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, reported feeling it.
Four aftershocks above
magnitude-6 and other
strong shakes rattled the
region after the first major tremor since a powerful
quake and tsunami killed
hundreds in 2010 and leveled part of the city of Concepcion in south-central
Chile.
Jorge Medina, a Santiago resident, said he was in
an aerobics class when the
quake hit.
"People started screaming that everything was
shaking," he said.
Officials ordered people
to evacuate low-lying areas along the 2,400 miles
(3,900
kilometers)
of
Chile's Pacific shore, from
Puerto Aysen in the south
to Arica in the north. Fishing boats headed out to sea
and cars streamed inland
carrying people to higher
ground. Santiago's main
airport was evacuated as
a precaution and authorities announced classes
would be suspended in the
port city of Valparaiso on
Thursday.
Chile state TV showed
water flowing in streets
of Concon, a coastal town
known for its beautiful
beaches that is close to Valparaiso. Higher water was
also seen in other cities but
no destructive high waves
had been reported.
Authorities said some
adobe houses collapsed in
the inland city of Illapel,
about 175 miles (280 kilometers) north of Santiago.
Illapel is about 34 miles
(55 kilometers) east of the
quake's epicenter.
Illapel's mayor, Denis
Cortes, told a local television station that a woman
had been killed in the city
but declined to give any details.
Electricity was knocked
out, leaving the city in
darkness. "We are very
scared. Our city panicked,"
Cortes said.
The U.S. Geological
Survey initially reported
the quake at a preliminary magnitude of 7.9 but
quickly revised the reading upward to 8.3. Chilean
authorities put the magnitude at 8.4.
U.S. officials said the
quake struck just offshore
in the Pacific at 7:54 p.m.
(6:54 p.m. EDT, 1154 GMT)
and was centered about
141 miles (228 kilometers)
north-northwest of Santiago. It said the quake was
7.4 miles (12 kilometers)
below the surface.
The Pacific Tsunami
Warning Center issued a
tsunami watch for Hawaii,
saying that if the quake
did generate a strong tsunami the surge would arrive about 3 a.m. local time
Thursday.
A magnitude-8.8 quake
and ensuing tsunami in
south-central Chile in
2010 killed more than 500
people, destroyed 220,000
homes, and washed away
docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts. That quake
released so much energy,
it actually it shortened the
Earth's day by a fraction of
a second by changing the
planet's rotation.

Lady Wolves fall to Smethport Lady Hubbers
By Amy Geer
Staff Writer
The Kane girls’ soccer
team hosted the Smethport Lady Hubbers on
Wednesday afternoon. The
visitors prevailed 2-0 on
an afternoon with temperatures in the upper 70s.
Coach Robert Mosier’s
Lady Wolves offense controlled the ball early, but
could not manage a shot
on goal despite their hard
work. After a hard Smethport shot sailed wide of the
goal, Kane’s Mackenzie
Thayer dribbled the ball
down the sideline and fired
a shot that was deflected
off the foot of a Hub defender about five minutes
into the contest.
Kane’s next good scoring opportunity came ten
minutes later, when Tori
Schleicher passed to Kennedy Detsch, who just
missed connecting with
junior Sydney Huntzinger
before Smethport goalie
Baylee Brien scooped up
the ball.
The visitors got on the
scoreboard with 23:15 left
in the first half on a goal
by Lindsey Jack. Thayer
and senior Shannon Todd
each had scoring opportunities, but Thayer’s shot
sailed wide of the goal
and Brien made a save on
Todd’s shot.
Wheatley kept the Lady
Wolves within one when
she went out to challenge
a Smethport forward and
forced the shot wide of the
net with 10 minutes left
to play in the first half.

the box, but it sailed over

Kennedy Detsch takes the ball down the sideline in front of a
Smethport player during Wednesday afternoon's game. Smethport won the contest 2-0, dropping the Lady Wolves to 0-5 on the
season. The Kane girls will try to turn things around on Saturday,
when they host Port Allegany in a 1 p.m. game.
the crossbar as the Kane
girls went into the break
trailing by one.
The Lady Wolves put
a little pressure on the
Smethport defense early
in the second half after a
nice run by Alexis LimaLopez got them deep in
Hubber territory. The
home team could not get a
shot off in a flurry in front
of the Smethport goalie after a corner kick early in
the second half.
Courtney Peters and
Tori Schleicher each fired
shots at the goal, but Peters’ sailed high and Brien
grabbed Schleicher’s shot.
The visitors got a break
with just under 18 minutes
to play when one of the
Lady Wolves was whistled
for a hand ball in the box.
Brittany Szarowicz drilled
the ensuing penalty kick
into the corner of the net,
just past Wheatley’s outstretched arm to make it a
2-0 game.
The Lady Wolves had
several scoring opportunities down the stretch,
including a couple direct
kicks deep in Smethport
territory, but the shots
were off the mark and the
Hubbers held on for the
win.
Coach Mosier’s team fell
to 0-5 on the season, but
the third year head man is
not discouraged.
"The effort was there,
and the execution was
there at times, but we
were not getting our shots
on target," he said. "Most
of them sailed wide or high
and the ones we did have
on net were right at the
goalie, she barely had to
move more than one or two
steps one way or the other.
"We had good possession of the ball and were
able to move the ball and
work it around, so we are
showing better ball control
and better passing on top,
we just have to finish. We
got down 1-0 when they
knocked in a ball that was
bouncing around that we
didn’t clear, and unfortunately, went down another
on a penalty shot after a
penalty that no one on our
sideline saw."
Mosier and assistant
coach Jenelle Johnson decided to move Alexis LimaLopez up to offense with 15
minutes left in the game,
leaving the defense a player short, but the Kane girls
couldn’t finish off any scoring opportunities and the
game ended up with the
Lady Wolves on the losing
end of the 2-0 score.
The Kane girls will be
back in action on Saturday
when they host Port Allegany in a 1 p.m. game.

SPORTS Notes
Many members of the Kane High School senior class
will be in attendance at this afternoon's Pittsburgh Pirate game. Forty-nine seniors are scheduled to attend
the 12:35 p.m. game against the Chicago Cubs as a prize
for selling a certain amount of magazines for the annual
class trip to Washington, D.C. Senior Ashley Swanson,
as the top seller in the fundraiser, has been selected to
throw out the first pitch for the game. There will also
be two other Kane residents taking part in the festivities. Kane Area High School Principal Jim Fryzlewicz
and Kane High graduate Craig Perry will be running in
the Pierogi Race after successfully trying out for the opportunity. The game is scheduled to be televised on Root
Sports Pittsburgh.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — A
big, dynamic tight end is
a mismatch nightmare for
NFL defenses.
Rob Gronkowski and
Jimmy Graham are too
quick for a linebacker and
too big for a safety.
" When you have a tight
end you can count on to
catch the football, especially in the red zone, it's huge,"
Arizona Cardinals coach
Bruce Arians said. "It gives
the defense another guy to
worry about. You have to
pick who you are going to
single cover and if you are
going to double cover one of
them."
A new crop of sure-handed, athletic tight ends surfaced in a big way in Sunday's season openers.
"It's a special position,"
Cincinnati coach Marvin
Lewis said. "The way football is going, it seems like
kids aren't gravitating as
much to running back,
they're going to receiver."
Austin Seferian-Jenkins,
Tyler Eifert and Darren
Fells may not be familiar
names around the league,
but they soon could be.
Arizona safety Tyrann
Mathieu, who stands 5-foot-
ered for Philadelphia, which
has dropped seven of 10.
Gonzalez (11-7) allowed two
runs on five hits with a pair
of walks in seven innings.
Alec Asher (0-4), making
his fourth career start, was
tagged for four runs on seven hits in five innings.
Werth put the Nationals
up 2-0 in the fourth with a
drive to left-center. After the
Phillies tied it in the bottom
of the frame on Ruf's tworun shot to left, Washington
scored two runs on five hits
in the fifth to go up 4-2.
phatically showed he was
back with his nine-reception, 104-yard performance
in Cincinnati's 33-13 win
over Oakland on Sunday.
Perhaps no one has a
more interesting story
than Fells. The 6-foot-7,
281-pound Arizona tight
end played basketball at
Cal-Irvine, then spent five
years playing hoops in Belgium, Finland and Argentina before deciding to switch
to football.
Fells toiled on the Cardinals practice squad in 2013,
then played in 10 games
last season, catching just
five passes for 71 yards.
"It was like trying to
learn Chinese coming in
here," he said. "All the
coaches were talking and I
had no clue what they were
talking about. Having to
pick up the language first,
then the playbook was second after that. It took a lot
of time."
Fells' biggest challenge
was learning to block.
Catching
came
easier,
thanks to all those years of
basketball.
After a strong preseason,
and with other tight ends
struggling with injuries,
Shane Rolick
WEEK
Shane Rolick has been selected
as Kane High’s Male Athlete of the
Week for his performance the week
of September 7. The Wolves’ senior
showed his versatility in Kane’s 4716 win over Smethport, scoring on
the ground, catching a touchdown
pass and also throwing score when
he lines up under center.

Fells won the starting job.
In Arizona's 31-19 opening win over New Orleans,
he caught four passes for
82 yards, the most yards
receiving in game for a
Cardinals tight end since
1989. With fellow tight end
Jermaine Gresham delivering a crushing block that
cleared two defenders out
of the way, Fells gained
48 yards on one play. His
fingertip catch of Carson
Palmer's 17-yard pass for a
touchdown clinched the victory with 1:33 to play.
"He knew he had to step
up and make plays," Palmer said, "and to see him do
what he did and exceed expectations was huge."
Not
unexpectedly,
Gronkowski and fellow veteran tight ends Jared Cook
and Heath Miller had big
days.
So did Travis Kelce, who
may not be a household
name but probably should
be. He had six catches for
106 yards and two scores
in Kansas-City's 27-20 win
over Houston. For Chiefs
fans, his performance was
not unexpected: Kelce led
the Chiefs with 67 catches
for 862 yards last season.

Werth, Harper power
Nationals to sweep of Phillies
PHILADELPHIA
(AP)
— Jayson Werth hit two
homers, Bryce Harper also
went deep and Gio Gonzalez
tied his career-high with 12
strikeouts to lead the Washington Nationals to a 12-2
victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday
night. Werth and Harper
each had four home runs
in the three-game sweep of
Philadelphia. The Nationals, who began Wednesday 8
½ games behind the Mets in
the NL East, have won four
straight. Darin Ruf hom-
9, is as good as anyone at
defending the big guys, but
says it's a huge challenge.
"It's tough to get around
their bodies," he said.
"They're just so good at
boxing you out and keeping
you from the flight of the
football. You just have to
play ball-hawking football
and just be extra competitive."
Seferian-Jenkins
was
a rare bright spot for the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers in
their 42-14 loss to Tennessee. Slowed by injuries, the
2014 second-round pick out
of Washington caught five
passes for 110 yards. His
two touchdowns matched
his total for all of last season. His yards receiving
in one game were almost
half of his total of last year
(221).
"I wasn't here last year,"
Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said,
"but Austin looked like he
was moving towards the
type of player that we all
want him to be."
The Bengals expected
big things from Eifert a
year ago, but he injured
his elbow in the opener and
never played again. He em-

Some members of the Kane Cheerleaders traveled to State College last weekend to take part in Penn State Spirit Day 2015.
The girls learned a halftime routine a few days before the event via video, according to Coach Chris Niklaus. The Kane girls were
among 250 cheerleaders set to take part in the halftime show, but the festivities were cancelled due to poor weather conditions.
The girls were looking forward to performing in front of the 93,000-plus people in attendance, but hope to participate next year.
Conley has best start of career, Marlins beat Mets 6-0
NEW YORK (AP) —
Adam Conley slowed the
Mets pursuit of a National
League East title with a
career-high seven innings,
and the streaking Miami Marlins handed New
York a 6-0 loss Wednesday
night.
Facing a makeshift lineup of all right-handers,
Conley (4-1) had the best
start of his young career in
front of his wife and infant
daughter. He allowed three
hits and struck out six as
Miami beat New York for a
second straight night to secure its fifth straight series
win — matching a franchise record set in 2003
for most consecutive series
won in one season, according to STATS.
Entering with an 8 1-2
game lead over Washington in the division, manager Terry Collins chose
to rest left-handed hitters Daniel Murphy, Curtis Granderson, Michael
Conforto and Lucas Duda
against Conley, a 25-yearold lefty. With reserve
outfielder Juan Lagares
leading off, the Mets were
shut out for the first time
since July 23, and they lost
consecutive games for first
time since losing to Boston
on Aug. 28-29.
Dee Gordon went 2 for
5 with a ninth-inning RBI
to finish the season series
against the Mets hitting
.427 (35 for 82).
The Mets have a day off
before rookie Steven Matz
pitches the opener of the
three-game Subway Series
against the Yankees at Citi
Field on Friday night.
All was quiet a night after Collins vowed the Mets
will "answer in our own
due time" to star Yoenis
Cespedes' getting hit by a
pitch by Tom Koehler in
the first inning of a 9-3 loss
that ended an eight game
winning streak.
Martin Prado and J.T.
Realmuto homered off Bartolo Colon, who lost for the
first time since Aug. 9.
Colon (14-12) was lifted
with two outs in the sixth
after walking Pablo Ozuna, the first free pass he
allowed to a Miami batter
in 55 innings dating to last
season.
Justin Bour had a sacrifice fly off Colon in the
sixth and a long homer
against Tyler Clippard in
the eighth that made it 4-0.
Colon allowed three
runs and seven hits in 5
2-3 innings.
Trainer's room: Marlins: OF Giancarlo Stanton
(broken left wrist) saw a
hand specialist and manager Dan Jennings said all
was fine, and it was a matter of when Stanton feels
the hand and wrist are
strong enough. Jennings
said Stanton might test it
in a simulated game before
returning to the Marlins,
which should come before
the end of the season.
Mets: RHP Carlos Torres (strained left calf)
was scheduled for a bullpen session that he would
throw at 50 percent. Collins said Torres is still a
"few days off from pitching in a game." ... Rookie
LHP Dario Alvarez (left
groin strain) had an MRI
a day after he was injured
Tuesday night in the ninth
inning. Results were not
yet available. Collins said,
"he's not moving very
good."
Up next: Marlins: RHP
Jarred Cosart (1-4) starts
the opener of a series at
Washington. He's given up
one run in 9 2-3 innings
over his last two starts.
Mets: After a day off,
Matz (3-0) will make his
fifth career major league
start in the opener of the
much anticipated Subway
Series. Collins isn't worried about the playoff-like
atmosphere the lefty from
Long Island will experience. "I don't think he's
going to be intimidated by
anybody," he said.
Price wins again, 1st-place Blue Jays top Braves 9-1
ATLANTA (AP) — David Price allowed one run
in seven innings, Russell
Martin hit a homer and
drove in four runs, and
the Toronto Blue Jays
beat Shelby Miller and
the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on
Wednesday night to protect their lead in the AL
East.
Price (16-5) gave up six
hits and had nine strikeouts as he improved to 7-1
since coming to Toronto in
a trade with Detroit. He
lowered his ERA to 2.42.
The Blue Jays stayed
three games ahead of second-place New York in the
division. The Yankees beat
the Rays 3-1.
Toronto had 12 hits as
it returned to its customary high-scoring pace after
managing only a combined
two runs in two straight
losses. Martin hit a tworun double in the four-run
first and added a two-run
homer off Ryan Kelly in
the ninth.
Miller
(5-15)
didn't
make it through the fourth
inning as he gave up five
runs, four earned. His ERA
rose to 3.00 after he allowed four or more earned
runs for the third time in
his last five starts.
Miller's streak of winless starts was extended to
22. It is the longest streak
for any pitcher in a season
he was an All-Star. The
right-hander, who has the
worst run support in the
majors, has lost 14 consecutive decisions since his
last win on May 17.
Jose Bautista had a runscoring double and Ryan
Goins drove in a run in
the first. The Blue Jays
knocked Miller out of the
game with another run in
the fourth.
Ben Revere drove in two
runs with two hits, including a double in the fifth, for
Toronto.
The Braves' run came
in the first. Nick Markakis hit a leadoff double and
scored on Freddie Freeman's fly ball. Christian
Bethancourt had three
hits.
Toronto first baseman
Edwin Encarnacion had
three hits and two walks
in his return after missing
two starts with a sore left
middle finger.
Price
walked
Bethancourt and pinchhitter Ryan Lavarnway to
open the fifth but then had
help from an unusual double play. Second baseman
Cliff Pennington couldn't
catch a shallow pop fly by
Markakis, but his throw to
Goins forced Lavarnway
at second. Goins threw
to third baseman Josh
Donaldson, who tagged
Bethancourt when he slid
past the bag.
Trainer's room: BLUE
JAYS: Manager John Gibbons said RHP LaTroy
Hawkins was expected to
be available after being
held out with right forearm soreness for four days.
BRAVES: RHP Jason
Grilli, recovering from surgery on July 17 to repair
his ruptured left Achilles
tendon, said he hopes to be
ready for spring training.
He no longer needs a scooter or crutches and said he'll
soon be free of his walking
boot. Grilli was named the
Braves' Roberto Clemente
Award nominee.
Cowboys figure Bryant has plenty to offer from sidelines
IRVING, Texas (AP) —
Forget for a moment what
Dez Bryant's foot injury
means on the field for the
Dallas Cowboys.
Think sidelines, where
the outwardly emotional
All-Pro receiver will be relegated for at least a month,
possibly longer, as he recovers from a broken right
foot.
His teammates are sure
he will still have a role,
starting with the quarterback who has to figure out
how to move the Dallas offense without his top target.
"I think Dez is in a lot of
ways the heartbeat," Romo
said. "He's got that emotional level that gets everybody going. Him just being
around is infectious. It's a
good thing for everybody.
We need to get him back
quick."
Coach Jason Garrett
said it's too early to know
if Bryant will make the trip
to NFC East rival Philadelphia this weekend. He had
surgery Monday.
And Garrett isn't concerned about Bryant letting his antics get out of
control, which has happened a few times in his
career — but mostly fed by
the adrenaline of actually
being in the game.
"Dez is a special guy and
his spirit is contagious and
we think it's a really good
thing," Garrett said.
Bryant has never really
been in this position with
the Cowboys because the
last time he missed a game
with an injury was Week 2
in 2011, his second season.
Back then, he was a young
receiver in a supporting
role.
After 63 straight appearances that turned him
into the most productive
receiver in franchise history through five seasons,
he's also the most tenured
Dallas receiver. With the
enthusiasm of a rookie.
When the Cowboys rallied for a 27-26 win over
the New York Giants in
the opener last weekend,
driving to a pair of touch-
downs in the fourth quarter after Bryant got hurt,
he emerged from the locker
room in only his underwear. He was jumping
around with his arms in
the air while greeting his
teammates, broken foot
and all.
That's the image cornerback Brandon Carr offers
when asked if Bryant's
presence still will be felt.
"I feel like his receiving
corps has taken the identity after him," Carr said.
"Whether he makes the
trip or not, I think those
guys have each taken a
piece of what he brings to
the table. Hopefully they'll
be able to show it and pick
up the slack, so to speak,
of just not having the presence of a playmaker."
Third-year player Terrance Williams is the most
accomplished Dallas receiver with Bryant sidelined. Slot man Cole Beasley is growing as well.
Then there's Gavin Escobar, who is known more
as a pass catcher behind
10-time Pro Bowl tight end
Jason Witten. Escobar had
a touchdown against the
Giants, and could be an
interesting option if other
reliable threats at receiver
don't emerge.
"I think they'll be more
confused because they don't
really know what we're going to do right now," Escobar said of opposing defenses. "Dez is definitely
a big game-plan guy, so
I think they're not really
sure what we're going to do
right now. It's almost to our
advantage."
The Cowboys traded
this week for Brice Butler,
a 2013 seventh-round pick
by Oakland. Second-year
player Devin Street and
undrafted rookie Lucky
Whitehead are the other
receivers.
"There will be a receiver
who plays in the place of
Dez Bryant," Garrett said.
"You use different personnel groups and you just go
play football."
The adjustment for Bryant will be just watching it.

This Date In Baseball
Sept. 17
1968 — Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants pitched a no-hitter against the
St. Louis Cardinals for a 1-0 victory.
1984 — Reggie Jackson, at 38, became
the 13th player in major league history to
record 500 home runs. No. 500 came off
Kansas City pitcher Bud Black. His homer
came exactly 17 years after he got his first
career hit.
1984 — Rookie pitcher Dwight Gooden of
the New York Mets struck out 16 Phillies in
a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia. Five days earlier,
Gooden fanned 16 Pittsburgh Pirates tying
a major league record for 32 strikeouts in
two consecutive games.
1988 — Jeff Reardon became the first
pitcher to save 40 games in both leagues
as the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago
White Sox 3-1. Reardon, who saved 42
games for the Montreal Expos in 1985,
pitched the ninth inning for his 40th save in
47 opportunities.
1996 — Hideo Nomo pitched a no-hitter
against the Colorado Rockies, leading
the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-0 victory.
Nomo walked four batters and stuck out
eight.
1998 — Denny Neagle put Atlanta's pitching staff into the record books as he limited
Arizona to four hits in six innings for a 1-0
win. Neagle improved to 15-11, making
the Braves the first major league team
with five 15-game winners since the 1930
Washington Senators. Neagle joined Tom
Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and
Kevin Millwood.
2004 — San Francisco's Barry Bonds hit
the 700th home run of his career, joining
Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755)
as the only players to reach the milestone.
Bonds connected in the third inning at
home, a 392-foot solo shot to left-center.
San Francisco beat San Diego 4-1.
2007 — Frank Thomas hit three home runs
to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston
Red Sox 6-1. Thomas homered twice off
knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, then hit his
third against reliever Kyle Snyder.
2008 — Alex Rodriguez became the first
player to hit 35 homers and drive in 100
runs in 12 seasons, surpassing Babe
Ruth's record by one. Rodriguez homered
in the eighth inning of the Yankees' 5-1
victory over Chicago.
2008 — Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki matched
Willie Keeler's major league record of eight
straight 200-hit seasons, beating out an
infield single in the eighth inning for his
third hit against Kansas City.
2011 — Mariano Rivera tied the major
league saves record, earning the 601st of
his career and matching Trevor Hoffman
while preserving the New York Yankees'
7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The
41-year-old Rivera was perfect in pitching
the ninth inning for his 42nd save of the
season.

The Kane Republican
OT Jake Long eager for fresh Favre, Owens, Faneca
start with Atlanta Falcons among 1st-year nominees
FLOWERY BRANCH,
Ga. (AP) — Jake Long is
eager to revive his career
with the Atlanta Falcons.
The No. 1 overall draft
pick by Miami in 2008,
Long has been plagued by
injuries in recent years
and didn't even hook on
with a team during training camp. But the Falcons,
looking to improve depth
on their offensive line,
signed the tackle to a oneyear deal.
Long went through
his first practice with his
new team Wednesday. He
is listed as third string
on the depth chart and
isn't expected to play this
weekend against the New
York Giants.
"I just want to play football. I love this game,"
Long said, standing at
a locker with his name
written on a piece of tape
above his head. "I want to
come here and help this
team win, whatever capacity that is. I'm going to
compete, help this line get
better, get better myself,
and help this team get
better. "
The 30-year-old Long
Help Wanted
underwent two surgeries
to repair torn ligaments
in his right knee the last
two years while with the
St. Louis Rams. He played
only seven games in 2014
and was cut in March in a
salary cap move.
He worked out for the
Falcons and several other teams, but questions
about his health kept him
from being signed until after Week 1.
"I understood it," Long
said. "But it was hard
to watch. It was hard to
watch OTAs and the preseason and especially
Week 1. I've been chomping at the bit for a while to
get back. I can't wait."
Long was an All-Pro in
2010 and a four-time Pro
Bowler with the Dolphins.
He is confident he can get
back to elite status.
"I feel good," he said. "I
spent a long offseason getting strong again, getting
the knee right. As long as
I keep progressing well,
I'm excited about what I
can do."

CANTON, Ohio (AP)
— Brett Favre is back in
the news — no, he's not
attempting another comeback.
Favre was among the
108 modern-day nominees for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame class of 2016
announced
Wednesday
night. The NFL's career
leader in nearly every
passing category when
he retired after the 2010
season and winner of the
1997 Super Bowl with
Green Bay, Favre leads
a strong list of first-time
nominees.
That group includes
Terrell Owens, one of the
league's most prolific and
dynamic receivers for
most of his 15 pro seasons,
and Alan Faneca, an elite
blocker who made six AllPro teams at guard in his
13 seasons.
Other first-year-eligible nominees are safety
Lawyer Milloy; running
backs Brian Westbrook
and Clinton Portis; placekicker John Carney; and
linebackers Keith Bulluck and Mike Vrabel.

his rookie season as a

being dealt to the Packers, where he helped revitalize the franchise.
The polarizing Owens
played for five franchises,
making All-Pro five times.
T.O. led the league in TD
receptions three times,
retiring with 153, and
perhaps in feuds with his
quarterbacks, many of
whom he felt didn't target
him enough.
Asked about aiming for
the Hall of Fame, Owens
told NFL Network:
"I still don't, never realized it, never a dream
of mine," Owens said. "I
never thought I would
play beyond the collegiate level. Everything I
did playing in the NFL, I
look back and marvel at
it. I am a very competitive person, once I get my
mind on something, I go
full-bore into it."
Faneca anchored Pittsburgh's offensive line for
a decade, winning a Super Bowl. He also played
two years for the Jets and
one for Arizona.

Already nominated by
the seniors committee
are Ken Stabler and Dick
Stanfel. The 2016 contributor candidate is former 49ers owner Edward
DeBartolo, Jr.
The nominees consist of
93 players (51 on offense,
33 on defense, 9 from special teams) and 15 coaches. They will be trimmed
to 25 semifinalists in November and, from there,
to 15 finalists in January.
Voting will culminate
Feb. 6, the night before
the Super Bowl. While
there is no set number for
any class of enshrinees,
the selection process bylaws provide that between four and eight new
members will be selected.
Favre, of course, is the
headliner. A three-time
league MVP, he retired
with 508 touchdown passes, 71,838 yards and 186
victories. Of course, he
temporarily retired twice
late in his career, and finished up with Minnesota
for two seasons following
16 in Green Bay and one

take for Long to get on the
field.
"He's really fit. He looks
really strong," Quinn said
Wednesday. "But this is
his first practice today. A
lot of learning was going
on between last night and
today for him. Then we'll
start the ball rolling."
Long has started 96
games in his career.
Now, he'll do whatever
is asked of him, even if it's
a backup role. The Falcons
are set at left tackle with
Jake Matthews, their top
pick in 2014. But right
tackle Ryan Schraeder
might be more vulnerable,
as a third-year player who
went undrafted out of Division II Valdosta State.
"It's been a very long
road," Long said. "I went
through a lot of stuff. So
I'm excited to be back
in a locker room, to feel
healthy, to be around the
guys and be around football."
Notes: Devin Hester
again missed practice
with a toe injury. "I'm getting better," said Hester,
who didn't play in the season opener.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX®
COPYRIGHT 2001 CREATORS SINDICATE, INC.
Dear Annie: I have been seeing
my boyfriend, “John,” for more than
a year and love him very much. We
are in our mid-20s, and while there
are no plans to move in together or
settle down soon, I see a future with
him.
The issue is that John currently lives with his older brother
“Zack.” Zack has no full-time job, no
prospects and no friends outside of
those provided by John. Zack is shy
in social situations, and covers this
by being snide and sarcastic, which
leads him to be girlfriend-less. My
friends no longer like hanging out
with John, as Zack is almost always
involved.
Also, John pays for everything
for Zack -- rent, food, entertainment
or any event we go to. I feel like
John’s second girlfriend. When we
go out with other friends for dinner,
John will pay for Zack, but not me.
And if the three of us go out, John
and I split the bill 50/50. I don’t
mind this occasionally, but my fi-
nances are tight and I don’t care to
pay for Zack. I resent that Zack gets
treated to these dinners, but I don’t.
Even our romantic dates usually involve Zack, and of course, he would
come on any vacation.
Annie, I feel stuck. I love John
and I have even learned to like Zack,
but I don’t think I can handle this
situation any longer. I’ve brought it
up delicately many times, and John
and Zack both acknowledge the
need for a change, but nothing happens. I don’t feel comfortable trying to get in between brothers, but
this doesn’t seem healthy. -- Third
Wheel on Facebook
Dear Third: John obviously
feels responsible for Zack and wants
to take care of him. He doesn’t feel
responsible for you, since you are independent, both financially and socially. Have you asked John privately whether Zack could benefit from
counseling? If he is the older brother and still has no job and no social
life, he might need some coaching in
life skills. He also might appreciate
having someone teach him how to
handle himself at a party or attract
the attention of a female, and you
could be of tremendous assistance
there. Otherwise, any “future” you
see with John means including
Zack in everything.
Dear Annie: If people go in
together to purchase a gift, should
only one of the people receive a
thank-you note?
I recently attended a bridal
shower where four of us pooled
our money to purchase an expensive gift. At the shower, we were
all asked to address an envelope to
make thank-you notes easier for the
bride-to-be. We all did so, but I was
shocked to find out that the note
was sent only to “Jill,” with the rest
of our names included inside. Jill
phoned the rest of us to let us know.
Have people really become so
lazy that they can’t write a thank
you to each person who gave a gift?
It wasn’t Jill’s job to inform the rest
of us. Shame on the bride-to-be. -Proper Thank Yous Please
Dear Proper: The bride may
not have realized that a single gift
from multiple people still requires
individual thank-you notes. But
yes, laziness undoubtedly played
a part, considering that the guests
had to pre-address their own envelopes.

CROSSWORD By Eugene Sheffer
For Friday, Sept. 18, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Disputes with others might arise
today about shared property, shared expenses for a vacation or a social engagement, or someone’s birthday -- it could be
anything. Be civil.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You will have challenges dealing
with partners and close friends today. It
might be difficult dealing with someone who
is older and more experienced, like a boss
or a parent. Knowing this, maintain your
cool.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
A squabble about something that is
work-related is likely today. Perhaps this is
happening because you’re in a bad mood?
If you’re happy, you’re easy-going, right?
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
A lover’s quarrel might take place
today. Others might have a dispute about
spending money for a social occasion, a
vacation or a sports event. Stay chill.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Family disagreements might occur
today. Be careful, because you might be
coming on like gangbusters since Mars is
in your sign. Be kind to the little people.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You’re worried about something.
And when you’re worried, you tend to be
in a negative state of mind, which, in turn,
makes you short-tempered with others. Patience.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Disputes about money, cash flow
or how something is handled, especially
within a group, might arise today. Be patient
in listening to what others have to say.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You are a bit emotionally explosive
today. Quite likely, this is because you are
concerned about cash flow, or to be more
specific, the lack of it.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Avoid controversial subjects like
politics, religion and racial issues today.
People are ready to fight over anything because it’s just that kinda day. Yikes!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
A friend or a member of a group
might be at odds with you over spending
a special amount of money or a shared
property. There are so many sides to every
question.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Squabbles might arise today with
partners, close friends, parents and partners. Basically, this is because people are
in a bad mood. Steer away from this!
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Although you want to escape today
(and believe me, you do), you might find
this difficult to arrange. Duties and obligations will block your way, but they’re temporary.
YOU BORN TODAY You love
beauty in your surroundings. You are
thoughtful and certainly private. You are an
excellent problem solver. Good news! This
is a year of accumulation, and perhaps one
of the most powerful years of your life. You
will reap what you have sown, because it’s
a time of fruition and a good time to buy and
sell.

the stream. Healthy riparian buffers provide a root
system to stabilize stream
banks and prevent erosion
of the soil. They also provide habitat for birds and
wildlife and can prevent
downstream flooding. If
your riparian area consists of mowed lawn right
to the edge of the stream,
it is highly recommended
to plant native shrubs and
trees and create a buffer
strip to improve stream
health. (For a list of native
plant species visit http://
w w w. d c n r. s t a t e . p a . u s /
forestry/plants/nativeplants/). It can also mean
less mowing and maintenance. Grass alone does
not have sufficient roots to
hold streambank soil. Erosion and soil loss can easily occur during heavy rain
or flooding as shown in the
photograph.
Riparian areas should
never be used as a dumping ground. Sometimes
these areas are seen as
“out of the way” corners
of a yard or property and
landowners or caretakers
dump leaves, brush, pet
waste, grass clippings, manure, mulch, dirt, gravel,
or other organic matter
which is difficult to dispose of. This kills all existing vegetation and will
result in a bare riparian
area which cannot resist
erosion during high water
events. This seemingly innocent compost method
can be very damaging to a
stream. Choose areas far
away from streams, even
seasonal streams, to compost yard waste. Treat all
riparian areas as sensitive land...keep chemicals,
paint, oil and gas residue,
and similar wastes away
from streams, creeks, and
rivers of any size. Do not
spray herbicides in riparian areas due to pollution
potential and the destruction of native vegetation.
We can all help our water stay clean and our watershed healthy. Contact
the McKean County Conservation District if you
have a particularly bad
streambank erosion problem.

Marienville Ranger District
develops nature path
MARIENVILLE – The
Allegheny National Forest’s Marienville Ranger
District recently unveiled
a new interpretive nature
path designed to showcase the diversity of the
forest.
The seeds of this project
began in 2014, when the
district’s front line staff
recognized the need for
an environmental education/interpretive program
near the ranger station.
District staff developed
the short (7/10 mile) path
through the woods adjacent to the ranger station
that showcases the diversity of the plant community, wildlife, land type,
land use, forest type and
resource management.
It also includes a Monarch butterfly waystation, native wildflower
gardens, wildlife plantings and a variety of trees
which included the blight
resistant American chest-
to protect its market share
by maintaining levels of
production despite the
drop in crude oil prices.
Also according to the
IEA, global demand for
oil is likely to increase in
2016, suggesting a more
bullish outlook to the market.
In December, Indonesia
will rejoin OPEC, and the
country will not discuss
production plans until
then, a contributing factor to the current bearish
state.
Domestically, even with
diminished production, the
market remains oversupplied, according to the US
Energy Information Administration, another factor keeping prices low.

states—South
Carolina,
Alabama and Mississippi-- are reporting average
prices below the $2 mark,
with continued discounts
expected across the county.
As stations switch to
winter-blend mixes and
road travel declines into
the fall and winter, the
market is expected to remain oversupplied, which
should keep costs down.
However, the oil market is still volatile. The
International Energy Association (IEA) predicts
non-OPEC countries will
decrease production to the
lowest level in 24 years.
The IEA attributes this decrease to OPEC’s strategy
nut. “Our District staff

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The alleged effort to put
the best face on intelligence
estimates about the U.S.led anti-Islamic State campaign has not shaken the
government-wide assessment that the airstrikes
have so far failed to fundamentally weaken the
militant group, current and
former intelligence officials
say.
The Pentagon's inspector
general is investigating allegations that U.S. Central
Command's top intelligence
officials pressured analysts
to discard parts of their reports that reflected poorly
on the war effort in Iraq and
Syria, resulting in flawed
assessments that overstated American progress.
But the allegedly purposeful editing did not affect separate intelligence
reporting by the CIA, the
Defense Intelligence Agency and other agencies, and
therefore did not undermine the government-wide
intelligence
assessment
that the war is at a stalemale, the officials added.
The CIA and other agencies
have concluded that the Islamic State has been able
to replenish its dead with
a steady influx of foreign
fighters and has not lost
significant amounts of territory.
Still, the potential intelligence puffery may have influenced comments by certain key figures, say current
and former officials, who
spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to comment.
In one possible instance,
John Allen, the Obama administration's special envoy to the global coalition
against the Islamic State,
said in July that the Islamic
State is "losing."
In his first remarks about
the allegations, Gen. Lloyd
Austin, commander of U.S.
Central Command, told
the Senate Armed Services
Committee Wednesday that
he welcomed the investigation but could not comment
directly until the review
was over. He vowed to take
"appropriate action" if the
investigation concludes that
intelligence reports were inappropriately altered.
"I assure you that we will
do everything in our power
to make sure that the whistleblowers remain protected
and that there is no retaliation," Austin added.
The general emphasized
that none of the Central
Command intelligence reports would have been sent
directly to President Barack
Obama.
A former Central Command official confirmed a
report by the Daily Beast
website that more than 50
intelligence analysts had
complained that their conclusions were undercut.
One or more senior analysts from the command
made a written complaint
to the Defense Department
inspector general in July,
prompting an investigation
that officials have publicly
acknowledged.
The Associated Press
reported in July on the
broad U.S. intelligence assessment that the campaign had not fundamen-
tally weakened the Islamic
State's hold on large parts
of Iraq and Syria, and that
the inflow of foreign fighters was replenishing the
group's losses.
The CIA estimates the
number of Islamic State
fighters at between 20,000
and 31,500, double to triple
the estimate from 2014.
Reports in recent months
by Central Command's intelligence operation, run
by Maj. Gen. Steven Grove
and his civilian deputy,
Greg Ryckman, told a rosier
story, current and former officials say. The former Central Command official, who
has spoken to many of the
players involved, said Ryckman made it known that
he wanted assessments to
reflect what he felt was the
campaign's effect in degrading the Islamic State.
Spokesman Patrick Ryder said neither Grove nor
Ryckman were available for
comment.
When analysts didn't
agree, they found their
sources challenged and
their well-grounded analysis edited out, the former
official said.
"It's not that they
changed what went into
the products— they took
out things that didn't fit the
narrative," the former official said.
Many of the analysts
work for the Defense Intelligence Agency, but they
were assigned to Central
Command and were part of
that chain of command. The
DIA has its own separate
intelligence
assessment
that tracks the more sober
view of the rest of the intelligence community, officials
say.
The intelligence reports
emerged from the command's Joint Intelligence
Center, which produced daily briefs and two- to threepage analyses that were
distributed to other intelligence agencies and occasionally the White House.

NASCAR Preview Package 2015
QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE
Compelling questions ... and maybe
a few actual answers
3 THINGS WE
LEARNED AT RICHMOND
Matt Kenseth’s fourth win, not
to mention a healthy hug from
wife Katie, made him a happy
man in Richmond.
1. Dominance with
a capital 'D'
Joe Gibbs Racing has been
so dominant in the regular
season, there's chatter
of a possible four-driver
JGR final for the Chase
championship. Including Matt Kenseth's win at
Richmond, JGR won eight
of the past 11 races and 11
of the 26 regular-season
events. Two drivers (Kenseth, Kyle Busch) go into
the Chase with four wins
apiece.
Ryan Newman has strolled into the
Chase again without a trophy.

Why the nervous looks from NASCAR?
which was not good enough
to leapfrog Paul Menard in the
standings.
3. Lost in the shuffle
2. Winning is
everything
Needing a win to get in, here
are some drivers that missed
the Chase and we just kind of
stopped caring about midway
through the Richmond race:
Kasey Kahne (18th at Richmond, 18th in points), Greg
Biffle (31st, 20th), three-time
Cup champ Tony Stewart (29th,
26th) and ... well, let's just throw
her in ... Danica Patrick (19th, 24th).
final Chase spot. He actually had
a chance — albeit a slight chance
— to win at Richmond on the last
restart, but wound up fourth,
Aric Almirola was left out of the
party, just 17 points behind the
— Rob Ullery, robert.ullery@news-jrnl.com
3 THINGS TO WATCH
1. Gordon, Gordon and Gordon
Jeff Gordon's swan-song season has had
fans sitting on the edge of their seats waiting
for him to win. Well, good news, now you
don't have to root for just a win. As Ryan
Newman has shown us, you don't have
to win to be in the Chase final. While a win
would still be a great ending to his NASCAR
story, wouldn't a Chase championship be
even better?
2. Harvick's chip
Think reigning champ Kevin Harvick is tired
of the Gibbs drivers getting all the attention?
Maybe, maybe not, but you can be sure he's
tired of them winning all the time. Chicagoland could be the track where Harvick makes
a statement — as he was fifth here last year
after leading a race-high 79 laps.
WINNER: Matt Kenseth
REST OF TOP 5: Kevin
Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Joey
Logano, Kyle Busch.
FIRST ONE OUT: Jeff Gordon
ASSOCIATED PRESS/CHET STRANGE
Recliner Sale
Doubtful, because right now it looks like a
battle between the Penske and Gibbs teams,
along with Kevin Harvick. But with five winless drivers at the start line, it's reasonable
to assume a couple might survive the first
two cuts and enter the final four races in the
hunt, and anything can happen after that.
Kenseth
Penske
ROGER PENSKE VS. MATT KENSETH: Penske said NASCAR allowed
Kenseth to get away with an illegal
restart late at Richmond.
KEN WILLIS' TAKE: It's always a hard
judgment call, but we love Penske's line
about the NASCAR official up in the
booth: "The last restart, the guy must
have closed the window and pulled the
blind down."
West Side Grill, Inc.

But will it?
Jeff Gordon is still without a win, but
he’s in the Chase. After Ryan Newman’s winless Chase run last season,
there’s hope for Gordon, even if he
doesn’t win, to make the playoff
final.

News-Journal’s motorsports editor
and has covered NASCAR for 30
years. Reach him at godwin.kelly@
news-jrnl.com
DARK HORSE: Ryan Newman
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF:
Gordon's farewell season,
never in high gear, starts limping to the exit.
This time, five winless drivers enter the
Chase, which increases the chance of a
Newman-style repeat, which might not be
a near-miss this time. Nobody wants a winless champ, regardless of what people say
publicly, but it can happen.

And now… ?
— Ken Willis, ken.willis@news-jrnl.com.
3. Rooting for Kyle
Come on, admit it: You find yourself actually caught up in Kyle Busch's story. After
missing the first part of the season due to
injury, his run to the Chase has been amazing. In the past 11 races he has four wins,
two seconds and eight top-10s. And he has
had success at Chicagoland (one win, four
top-5s, five top-10s, two poles in 10 races).
He was seventh last year after leading a
second-best 46 laps.
Last year, following Week 26, three drivers
entered the Chase without a victory. One
of them, Ryan Newman, was still winless
nine weeks later and came very close to
winning the championship. After all the talk
about putting a premium on victories, that
would've been hard to celebrate.

WHAT’S ON TAP?
A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
Biggest surprise in the Chase field?
KEN'S CALL: Given how he started the year,
I'll go with Kyle Busch.
ROB'S RAMBLINGS: Have to agree it's Kyle
Busch. Figured NASCAR would allow him to be
Chase-eligible even if he hadn't cracked top 30
in points. Come on, four wins?
Biggest surprise among those who
missed?
KEN'S CALL: Either Kyle Larson or Kasey
Kahne; I'll say Kahne.
ROB'S RAMBLINGS: I kept waiting for Tony
Stewart to sneak in a win. No repeat of his
great 2011 story.
Which Gibbs driver wins this week?
KEN'S CALL: I'm going back-to-back with
Matt Kenseth.
ROB'S RAMBLINGS: You're insane not to go
with Kenseth. I mean, really, three wins in the
past six races?
Sept. 27 — Sylvania 300, Loudon, N.H.
Oct. 4 — AAA 400, Dover, Del.
Oct. 10 — Bank of America 500, Concord, N.C.

Ariz.

x — non-points race
DID YOU KNOW?
“Chicagoland” is the name you give a speedway when
you want the Chicago vibe but are physically 40 miles
to the southwest, in Joliet, which is known for many
things, including its prison. That famous lockup is why
the local minor league baseball team is known as the
Joliet Slammers.
