Fan who dumped ashes onto field arrested mm v. By PATRICK WALTERS Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA The slaying of a teenage father whose world revolved around his 2-year-old daughter should serve as a wake-up call for communities to work harder to end violence, mourners said Monday at a memorial service. Terrell Pough, 18, was gunned down outside his home in the city's Germantown section on Nov. 17 while on his way home from work.

Over the summer, he got national exposure after People magazine profiled him as an outstanding teenage father. A night manager at a fast-food restaurant, Pough had no record of violence and worked long hours to finish school and support his daughter, Diamond. As the sounds of gospel and soul music filled Temple University's McGonigle Hall for Monday's public service, many said the community should be fed up. Pough's sister, T'Lia McCoy, said the lesson learned from her brother's death is that violence must be stopped at all costs. "It didn't care that my brother was only 18, or that the only reason he was working (late) was his one true love his daughter, Diamond," McCoy told more than 200 at the service.

Pough attended the YouthBuild Charter School in North Philadelphia, where he was learning construction skills by rehabbing abandoned houses. He was slated to graduate in JOSEPH KACZMAREKAssociated Press DIAMOND HOUSTON cried as she was held by her grandmother, Elizabeth Pough, during a public memorial service Monday for the toddler's teenage father, Terrell Pough, who was gunned down last week on his way home from work in the city's Germantown section. fore the Eagles' Super Bowl appearance. "She never cared for any other team except the Eagles," Noteboom told WPVI-TV after he was released from custody on Monday. "I know that the last handful of ashes I had are laying on the field, and will never be taken away.

She'll always be part of Lincoln Financial Field and of the Eagles," he said. Noteboom, a bar owner in Arizona, was charged with defiant trespass. He has a hearing scheduled for Dec. 27. "It's bizarre, but we have a zero tolerance for people who run on the field," said Police Inspector William Colarulo.

"We especially have a zero tolerance for people who run onto the field and dump an unknown substance in a stadium full of people." PHILADELPHIA (AP) A man arrested for running onto the field at Sunday's Philadelphia Eagles game said he was spreading his late mother's ashes at Lincoln Financial Field, police said. Christopher Noteboom, 33, of Tempe, ran onto the field holding a plastic bag in his outstretched right arm, leaving a cloud of fine powder in his wake. As he reached the 30-yard line, he dropped to his knees and made the sign of the cross before laying down on his stomach. Security personnel reached him moments later and he offered no resistance as he was escorted from the field. Noteboom, a native of Doylestown, said the substance was the ashes of his dead mother, a longtime Eagles fan who died of emphysema in January 2005, shortly be the crowd he remembered the violence from when he was in school in the 1960s.

Evans, D-Philadelphia, recalled the outpouring of anger when 10-year-old Faheem Thomas-Childs was killed by a stray bullet outside a North Philadelphia elementary school in February 2004. "This problem is preventable," he said. "Nobody is exempt because those bullets can kill June. School officials said he liked to tinker with electronics and computers and had looked forward to a career in the construction industry. Anthony Murphy of Philadelphia Operation Town Watch said Pough's death serves as an example of how bad street violence has become.

He urged those at the service to be responsible for their actions, raise their children with care and work to make the streets more peaceful. "Terrell's life of 18 years is now going to begin a movement of peace," Murphy told the crowd, which included Diamond in the front row, occasionally chattering and crying. "Will you give Diamond the world that Terrell wanted her to have?" Pough's shooting remained under investigation Monday and no arrests had been made, police said. State Rep. Dwight Evans told Challenger: Gerlach violated election law Gerlach, a two-term Republican incumbent, represents a district that covers parts of Berks, Chester, Lehigh and Montgomery counties.

Our 10 Year Anniversary FREE GIVEAWAYS REGISTER TO WIN FREE HAIRCUTS FOR A YEAR mnmmTiiimiiivK By KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON A Democrat challenging Rep. Jim Gerlach said she would file a complaint alleging the congressman overstated the amount he has raised this election cycle by more than $2.2 million. Lois Murphy, an attorney who narrowly lost to Gerlach in 2004 and has filed to run against him next year, on Monday also alleged that Gerlach committed other "flagrant and repeated" violations such as failing to disclose the names of donors.

John Gentzel, a spokesman for Gerlach, said he would need to review the complaint before commenting on the accusations. An audit released by the Federal Election Commission early this month revealed that Gerlach received more than $35,000 in excessive campaign contributions from Jan. 1, 2003, to Dec. 31, 2004. The campaign returned the contributions, the audit said.

The commission has not reported taking any action against Gerlach. Murphy alleged Gerlach also refused to accurately report cash-on-hand for the campaign, accepted contributions in excess of the limit, accepted money from a corporation prohibited from contributing money to a federal candidate, and appeared to not pay state and federal employment taxes in any quarter. "These are serious errors, some of them of very big magnitude that really don't reflect accurate record-keeping, and they need to be taken seriously," Murphy said. "My view is that anyone who is not taking them seriously is not meeting their obligation."

HURRY POTTSVILLE (AP) A convicted sex offender whose infant son was placed in foster care shortly after birth will be allowed to visit the child, the man's lawyer said. Judge Charles Miller has ruled that DaiShin WolfHawk, 53, can visit the boy under the supervision of the Schuylkill County's child welfare agency, said WolfHawk's lawyer, James Conville.

The agency's attorney, Karen Rismiller, declined to comment The child was born Oct 18 to WolfHawk's wife, Melissa, and placed in a foster home three days later. Child welfare officials said the baby would be unsafe because his father was convicted of rape and sodomy more than two decades ago in New York. WolfHawk denies committing the assaults, and says he pleaded guilty because his lawyer instructed him to do so. Melissa WolfHawk already has supervised visitation. Limited Time.
