PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine.
Sent 2: If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine.
Sent 3: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea.
Sent 4: Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine.
Sent 5: No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order.
Sent 6: In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty.
Sent 7: In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved.
Sent 8: Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal.
Sent 9: "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said.
Sent 10: "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders?
Sent 11: That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?"Sent 12: Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail.
Sent 13: Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order.
Sent 14: Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases.
Sent 15: She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed.
Sent 16: West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state.
Sent 17: "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said.
Sent 18: "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred.
Question: What kind of message is being sent to those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders?.

SOLUTION: Court costs, plus a $100 fine.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Imagine you are standing in a farm field in central Illinois.
Sent 2: The land is so flat you can see for miles and miles.
Sent 3: On a clear day, you might see a grain silo 20 miles away.
Sent 4: You might think to yourself, it sure is flat around here.
Sent 5: If you drive one hundred miles to the south, the landscape changes.
Sent 6: In southern Illinois, there are rolling hills.
Sent 7: Why do you think this is?
Sent 8: What could have caused these features?
Sent 9: There are no big rivers that may have eroded and deposited this material.
Sent 10: The ground is capable of supporting grass and trees, so wind erosion would not explain it.
Sent 11: To answer the question, you need to go back 12,000 years.
Sent 12: Around 12,000 years ago, a giant ice sheet covered much of the Midwest United States.
Sent 13: Springfield, Illinois, was covered by over a mile of ice.
Sent 14: Its hard to imagine a mile thick sheet of ice.
Sent 15: The massive ice sheet, called a glacier, caused the features on the land you see today.
Sent 16: Where did glaciers go?
Sent 17: Where can you see them today?
Sent 18: Glaciers are masses of flowing ice.
Question: What type of terrain is found South of Central Illinois?.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Boone, Ia.
Sent 2: -Poor and elderly people may soon go without legal representation in Boone County.
Sent 3: Boone County Legal Aid, which for 31 years has provided legal services to those who couldn't afford them, will close in February if a $10,000 grant from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino is not awarded.
Sent 4: The legal service is one of the few programs in Iowa that offers legal representation to those who qualify without turning to the state for its services.
Sent 5: "It is a very sad situation, but that's the fact," said Alan Schroeder, city attorney and supervisor of Boone County Legal Aid.
Sent 6: For the past two years using money mostly from the city and county, Schroeder has upheld the outfit alone, taking on about 60 clients a year, and settling cases that range from domestic abuse to bankruptcy.
Sent 7: He also has a private practice.
Sent 8: If the legal service closes, he's unsure where his clients will go.
Sent 9: The city of Boone gave Schroeder $6,300 in July to resolve pending cases, said Kathy Berg, Boone's finance officer.
Sent 10: Without that, the program might already be closed.
Sent 11: "All governments are having problems with finances," Boone Mayor George Maybee said.
Sent 12: "No one else stepped in.
Sent 13: The county didn't.
Sent 14: The state didn't."Sent 15: Donovan Olson, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the board quit funding the legal service in July because it felt the county didn't need it.
Sent 16: Drake University ended its funding after the 2000 spring semester "for a variety of reasons," Suzanne Levitt, the law professor who oversaw the program, said via e-mail.
Sent 17: Olson said Schroeder must prove Prairie Meadows is the primary money source for the board to grant the program any more money.
Sent 18: Schroeder ran the program without the help of law students or Drake, which had provided as much as two-thirds of the money in some years.
