When 15-year-old Connor Kohls died in 2008after being struck in Maryland by a York Countyman in a work van, Connor’s parents expectedthe driver to be severely punished — eventhough police did not charge him in connectionwith the death. Ed Kohls, Connor’s father, saidthey thought the driver would at least lose hisPennsylvania license.

David Auble, 24, of Peach Bottom Townshipreceived traffic citations for violations such asspeeding. He paid fines in Maryland, but the

record of the crash never made it on his Penn-sylvania driver’s license.

Ed Kohls called Gov. Ed Rendell’s office tosee what could be done. The answer: Nothing.

“My first reaction was one of disbelief,” saidEd Kohls. “How could Pennsylvania and Mary-land not have a way of recording this?”

About a year later, Auble would receive Ac-celerated Rehabilitative Disposition in a drunk-en driving case in York County — somethingYork County’s district attorney said wouldn’t

Hunting is in the bloodof the Eberly family.

It started when TerryEberly was a kid. Helearned how to hunt andfish from his father, the lateCharles Eberly, and hisaunt and uncles.

“Hunting and fishing isbasically all we ever did,”the 65-year-old York Town-ship man said.

The family had a hunt-ing camp in the SouthMountains near LaurelLake from the late 1950s tothe early 1980s.

The family would gatherat the old Army trailer onthe eve of the opening dayof deer hunting. They’d eata turkey or ham dinner onSunday night and sitaround and talk, sharingold hunting stories.

In the morning, they’dwake up to sizzling eggs andbacon on the stove beforeheading into the mountainsto hunt for buck.

“Nothing smells betterthan that on a cold morningup in the mountains,” TerryEberly said.

His sons, however, nevergot to be part of the family’sdeer camp tradition. Thefamily had to sell the campthe year before Terry Eber-ly’s oldest son could starthunting.

Ed Rendell criticized the billas dangerous. It would haveexpanded when deadly forcecan be used in self-defense.By MARC LEVYAssociated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Ed Rendell on Sat-urday vetoed a bill that he feared would esca-late violent acts by expanding a person’srights in Pennsylvania to use deadly force,even when safe retreat is possible, if feelingthreatened outside their home.

Rendell criticized the bill as a dangeroussolution to a nonexistent problem that wouldencourage a “shoot first, ask questions later”mentality.

“I do not believe that in acivilized society we shouldencourage violent and deadlyconfrontation when thevictim can safely protectthemselves” through retreat,Rendell wrote in his vetomessage released Saturday.“As keepers of the publictrust, we have the solemnduty to protect our citizenry,not put them in harm’s wayand to protect the sanctity of human life.”

The veto was one of three bills that Ren-dell vetoed Saturday.

The measure broadening Pennsylvania’sso-called Castle Doctrine also would have of-fered immunity against civil lawsuits topeople who could show that they acted withinthe law’s guidelines.

Under current law in Pennsylvania, theuse of deadly force in self-defense is not justif-iable when safe retreat is possible, unless aperson is attacked in his or her home orworkplace, Rendell said.

The vetoed bill said, in part, that “noperson should be required to surrender his or
