A critical concern facing Indiana County, according to the county commissioners, is how to pay for the county’s 911 emergency telephone system, or more precisely, how to avoid having to shift

Who’s in the news There is good news today in The Indiana Gazette about these area people: Hope Catherina Popson, Cortney Johnson and Lowry Fairman, Patrick Greene, Diane O’Donnell, Amber Ruddock.

INDIANA COUNTY Rodney Ruddock said Wednesday. The problem stems from rapidly changing communications technologies combined with a statutory funding strategy approved in 1990

and only amended a few times in piecemeal fashion. Counties assumed responsibility for 911 telephone service with the 1990 adoption of the state Public Safety Emergency Telephone Act. The law provided for a funding stream based on telephone subscriber surcharges.

THORNDALE — Gov. Tom Wolf fleshed out his plan to tax natural-gas drilling Wednesday, saying it would bring Pennsylvania into line with other gas-producing states and generate as much as $1 billion a year largely earmarked for helping the state’s financially strained public schools. The Democrat made his case for the tax during a visit to Caln Elementary School in Thorndale, located in one of the poorest school districts in Chester County, as he kicked off a statewide “Schools that Teach” tour. Wolf proposes a two-pronged apGOV. TOM WOLF proach: a 5 percent severance tax on the value of the gas, plus 4.7 cents per thousand cubic feet of gas extracted from the Marcellus shale formation to help restore public school aid cut under his predecessor, Republican Tom Corbett. His proposal, modeled after West Virginia’s tax, also contains safeguards that would bar drilling companies from Continued on Page 12

MINSK, Belarus — Guns will fall silent, heavy weapons will pull back from the front, and Ukraine will trade a broad autonomy for the east to get back control of its Russian border by the end of this year under a peace deal hammered out today in all-night negotiations among Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany. The deal was full of potential pitfalls that could derail its implementation, however. In announcing the plan, Russia and Ukraine differed over what exactly they had agreed to in marathon 16-hour talks, including the status of a key town now under rebel siege. Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that the agreement envisages a cease-fire beginning Sunday as well as a special status for Ukraine’s separatist regions and provisions to address border concerns and humanitarian issues. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said there was no Continued on Page 4

The new findings are based on health data from nearly a million people who were followed for 10 years. In addition to the well-known hazards of lung cancer, artery disease, heart attacks, chronic lung disease and stroke, the researchers found that smoking was also linked to significantly increased risks of infection, kidney disease, intestinal disease caused by inadequate blood flow, and heart and lung

However bad you thought smoking was, it is even worse. A new study adds at least five diseases and 60,000 deaths a year to the toll taken by tobacco in the United States. Before the study, smoking was already blamed for nearly half a million deaths a year in this country from 21 diseases, including 12 types of cancer.

By The Indiana Gazette Residents’ caller IDs are receiving calls that appear to be from the Indiana County Sheriff’s office in order to perpetrate scams, according to a news release from Sheriff Bob Fyock. Fyock said in the release that the callers will give a badge number and claim to have a warrant for a victim’s arrest issued from the Internal Revenue Service. Fyock said his department does not receive warrants from the IRS. If you do not owe taxes, or have no reason to think that you owe taxes, you can report such calls to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at (800) 3664484 or go to the IRS website under “Tax Scams” and file a complaint. Fyock said he would also like to remind residents to not send money or respond to calls that sound too good to be true. If the calls continue, Fyock said, contact local law enforcement.

Talks yield peace deal on Ukraine Continued from Page 1 agreement on any autonomy or federalization for eastern Ukraine, a longtime demand of Russia, which wants that to maintain leverage over Ukraine and prevent it from ever joining NATO. The deal, however, requires the Ukrainian parliament to give wide powers to the eastern regions as a condition for restoring Ukraine’s full control over its border with Russia — a provision certain to trigger heated political debate in Kiev. Uncertainty remained even on the cease-fire, as Putin admitted that he and Poroshenko disagreed on the situation at a key eastern flashpoint, the government-held town of Debaltseve. “We now have a glimmer of hope,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who brokered the talks in the Belarusian capital of Minsk together with French President Francois Hollande. “But the concrete steps of course have to be taken, and we will still face major obstacles. But, on balance, I can say what we have achieved gives significantly more hope than if we had achieved nothing.” More than 5,300 people have died since April in the fighting in eastern Ukraine between Russian-backed separatists and government troops. Battles continued to rage Thursday even as the four leaders were holding peace talks. The deal envisages a buffer zone created by pulling back heavy artillery and rocket systems 31 to 87 miles away from the front line, depending on their caliber. The withdrawal should begin no later than the second day after the cease-fire becomes effective and it should be completed within two weeks. In a win for Ukraine, the rebel regions, which held their own elections last fall that Ukraine and the West declared a sham, are obliged to hold a new local vote under the Ukrainian law. But in a key concession to Russia, the deal says the restoration of Ukrainian control over the border with Russia in rebel-controlled areas could be completed only by the end of 2015 on the condition that Ukraine conducts a constitutional reform granting wide powers to the eastern regions, including the right to form their own police force and trade freely with Russia. “It was not the best night in my life, but the morning, I think, is good because we have managed to agree on the main things despite all the difficulties of the negotiations,” Putin told reporters. Hollande said he and Merkel are committed to helping verify the cease-fire process in Ukraine, hailing

the deal as a “relief to Europe.” In Kiev, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said despite the ongoing peace talks, Russia overnight sent 50 tanks and a dozen heavy weapons into Ukraine across the rebel-controlled border. A previous cease-fire agreed in September fell apart as Ukrainian forces and the rebels both tried to gain more ground. Poroshenko stressed that the agreement contains “a clear commitment to withdraw all foreign troops, all mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine,” a reference to the Russian soldiers and weapons that Ukraine and the West say Russia has sent into eastern Ukraine to back the rebels. Moscow has denied the accusations, saying any Russia fighters were volunteers, but the sheer number of sophisticated heavy weapons in the rebels’ possession belies the denial. Merkel said, in the end, Putin exerted pressure on the separatists to get them to agree to the cease-fire. “I have no illusions, we have no illusions. A great, great deal of work is still necessary. But there is a real chance to make things better,” she said. The French-German diplomatic dash came as President Barack Obama considered sending U.S. lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine, a move that European nations feared would only widen the hostilities. The urgency felt by all sides appeared to be underlined by the extraordinary length and discomfort of the talks, which began Wednesday evening and continued uninterrupted through the night. Crowds of reporters waited anxiously in a marble-floored, chandeliered convention hall in Minsk, with one whisked away by doctors to be treated for exhaustion, according to the Interfax news agency. While the four leaders hailed the agreement, it Russia and Ukraine still disagreed on how to end the fighting around Debaltseve, a key transport hub between the two main rebelheld eastern cities. Putin said the rebels consider the Ukrainian forces surrounded and expect them to surrender, while Ukraine says its troops have not been blocked. The Russian leader said the peace deal also determines a division line from which heavy weapons will be pulled back. The line of division and other key provisions were in a document endorsed by rebel chiefs and the representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. That agreement was endorsed by the four European leaders, who issued a separate declaration.

NEW YORK — Longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Bob Simon, who covered most major overseas conflicts and news stories since the late 1960s during a fivedecade career in journalism, died in a car crash Wednesday night. He was 73. Simon was among a handful of elite journalists, a “reporter’s reporter,” according to his executive producer, whose assignments took him from the Vietnam War to the Oscar-nominated movie “Selma.” He spent years doing foreign reporting for CBS News, particularly from the Middle East, where he was held captive for more than a month in Iraq two decades ago. “Bob Simon was a giant of broadcast journalism, and a dear friend to everyone in the CBS News family,” CBS News President David Rhodes said in a statement. “We are all shocked by this tragic, sudden loss.” A town car in which Simon was a passenger hit another car stopped at a Manhattan traffic light and then slammed into metal barriers separating traffic lanes, police said. Simon and the town car’s driver were taken to a hospital, where Simon was

pronounced dead. The town car driver suffered injuries to his legs and arms. The driver of the other car was uninjured. No arrests were made, said police, who continued to investigate the deadly accident. “CBS Evening News” anchor Scott Pelley, his eyes red, announced the death in a special report. “We have some sad news from within our CBS News family,” Pelley said. “Our colleague Bob Simon was killed this evening.” “Vietnam is where he first began covering warfare, and he gave his firsthand reporting from virtually every major battlefield around the world since,” Pelley said. Simon had been contributing to “60 Minutes” on a regular basis since 1996. He also was a correspondent for “60 Minutes II.” He was preparing a report on the Ebola virus and the search for a cure for this Sunday’s “60 Minutes” broadcast. He had been working on the project with his daughter, Tanya Simon, a producer with whom he collaborated on several stories. Anderson Cooper, who does occasional stories for “60 Minutes,” was near tears talking about Simon’s death. He said that when Simon presented a story “you knew

it was going to be something special.” “I dreamed of being, and still hope to be, a quarter of the writer that Bob Simon is and has been,” the CNN anchor said. “... Bob Simon was a legend, in my opinion.” Jeff Fager, executive producer of “60 Minutes,” said in a statement, “It is such a tragedy made worse because we lost him in a car accident, a man who has escaped more difficult situations than almost any journalist in modern times. Bob was a reporter’s reporter.” Simon joined CBS News in 1967 as a reporter and assignment editor, covering campus unrest and innercity riots, CBS said. He also worked in CBS’ Tel Aviv bureau from 1977 to 1981 and in Washington, D.C., as its Department of State correspondent. Simon’s career in war reporting began in Vietnam, and he was on one of the last helicopters out of Saigon when the U.S. withdrew in 1975. At the outset of the Gulf War in January 1991, Simon was captured by Iraqi forces near the Saudi-Kuwaiti border. CBS said he and three other members of CBS News’ coverage team spent 40 days in Iraqi prisons, an experience Simon wrote about in his book “Forty Days.” Simon

returned to Baghdad in January 1993 to cover the American bombing of Iraq. Simon won numerous awards, including his fourth Peabody and an Emmy for his story from Central Africa on the world’s only all-black symphony in 2012. Another story about an orchestra in Paraguay, one whose poor members constructed their instruments from trash, won him his 27th Emmy, perhaps the most held by a journalist for field reporting, CBS said. He also captured electronic journalism’s highest honor, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, for “Shame of Srebrenica,” a “60 Minutes II” report on genocide during the Bosnian War. Former CBS News executive Paul Friedman, who teaches broadcast writing at Quinnipiac University, said Simon was “one of the finest reporters and writers in the business.” “He, better than most, knew how to make pictures and words work together to tell a story, which is television news at its best,” Friedman said. Simon was born May 29, 1941, in the Bronx. He graduated from Brandeis University in 1962 with a degree in history. He is survived by his wife, his daughter and his grandson.

Police: North Carolina parking dispute sparks killing of 3 By MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A long-running parking dispute between neighbors motivated a man to kill a woman, her newlywed husband and her sister at a quiet condominium complex near the University of North Carolina, police said Wednesday. A Muslim advocacy organization asked authorities to address speculation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much of it on social media â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about possible religious bias in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting of the three Muslims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated, and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case,â&#x20AC;? Chapel Hill police Chief Chris Blue said in an email. The couple had graduated from North Carolina State, and one was studying to be a dentist at UNC. The sister was an undergraduate at N.C. State. UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chancellor called it a loss for both campus communities, and the school planned a vigil Wednesday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was like the power couple of our community,â&#x20AC;? said Ali Sajjad, president of N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muslim Student Association. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the shooting of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, and wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, both of Chapel Hill, and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh. Hicks appeared briefly in court Wednesday. He is being held without bond and will be appointed a public defender. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for March 4. Police said Hicks turned himself in and was cooperating. They said the preliminary investigation showed the parking dispute was the motive. Hicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife, Karen Hicks, and a former roommate of Barakat confirmed that Craig Hicks had been part of a long-running parking dispute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say that it is my absolute belief that this incident had nothing up do with religion or the victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faith, but in fact was related to long-standing parking disputes my husband had with various neighbors regardless of their race, religion or creed,â&#x20AC;? Karen Hicks said. One of her attorneys,

Robert Maitland, said Hicks had tried to resolve the parking dispute with the homeowners association several times without success. Imad Ahmad, who said he lived with Barakat for more than a year, said Hicks would knock on their door about once a month to complain the two men were parking in one of the spaces designated for visitors in addition to the one space reserved for each residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would come over to the door. Knock on the door and then have a gun on his hip saying you guys need to not park here,â&#x20AC;? said Ahmad, 24, who said Hicks carried the handgun in a holster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did it again after they got married.â&#x20AC;? Another attorney for Karen Hicks, Michele English, said Craig Hicks had a concealed weapons permit. But outrage spread among some American Muslims who viewed the homicides as an outgrowth of anti-Muslim opinions. Many posted social media updates with the hashtags #MuslimLivesMatter and #CallItTerrorism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the brutal nature

Hicks could be charged with a hate crime. U.S. Attorney Ripley Rand said his office was monitoring the investigation but that it was not yet a federal investigation. He said the shooting appeared to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;an isolated incident.â&#x20AC;? Gerod King of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that agents were in touch with the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and that investigators hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

ruled out a hate crime. At UNC, Barakat was a second-year dental student. Mohammad was scheduled to begin dental studies in the fall. Both graduated from North Carolina State University, spokesman Mick Kulikowski said. Barakat received a business administration degree in 2013. Mohammad received a biological sciences degree in December. Abu-Salha was a sophomore design major, Kulikowski said. Muneeb Mustafa, 23, of Cary, said he attended the same Raleigh mosque as Barakat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a completely genuine guy. Loving, caring, friendly, smart,â&#x20AC;? Mustafa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an ideal human being. He was a role model.â&#x20AC;? Mustafa said they last saw each other about a month ago, playing in a basketball tournament staged by the Muslim Student Association at UNC, Mustafa said. Barakat, his wife of less than two months and his sister were Muslim, Mustafa said. Barakatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was from

Syria, and he raised money to help refugees, Mustafa said. Mohammad traveled to Turkey last summer to help treat refugeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dental problems, Mustafa said. The neighborhood where the victims were found â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about three miles east of campus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; consists mostly of apartments and condominiums rented by students. Residents said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never before seen police or had crime problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very quiet community,â&#x20AC;? resident Bethany Boring told WRAL-TV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of graduate and professional students. You know, professional families.â&#x20AC;? Shadi Wehbe, a UNC graduate who has lived in the complex since 1999, said that two weeks ago, a woman came to his door about 10 p.m. and politely asked him to move his car. Some parking spots are assigned, and others are open. Wehbe said parking had never been a problem and no one had asked him to move his car before, but he realized he was in the wrong spot and moved his car one place over.

A divestment disgrace

ost maps show that California is part of the United States. That would make, by a fairly airtight chain of reasoning, the University of California also part of the United States. Although not if its Student Association has anything to say about it. Not satisfied merely to urge divestment from Israel, as is the trend on campuses around the country, the Student Association board has voted to divest from the United States itself, in an act that is a mashup of Noam Chomsky and a Monty Python skit. The “Resolution Toward Socially Responsible Investment” recalls the notorious motion that carried the day at the Oxford Union in 1933, “that this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country.” Back then, the forces of social responsibility rallied behind the Oxford motion. One proponent argued that “the only country fighting for the cause of peace, Soviet Russia, is the country that has rid itself of the warmongering clique.” Another explained that “this House will never commit murder on a huge scale whenever the Government decided it should do so.” These sentiments, of course, didn’t fare well over the

Soon enough, splinter groups of UC students would surely be protesting the unacceptable measures undertaken by the Free Republic of UC to protect its own territorial integrity. The main event at UC was the Israel divestment resolution (technically from companies doing business in Israel), which is part of the ongoing effort to delegitimize the Jewish state for the offense of being a pro-Western country struggling to survive in a Middle Eastern pit of vipers. It is always curious that the world’s lone Jewish state is singled out for obloquy on campuses. At least the additional UC resolution including the United States provides some cover in the form of nonJewish states. Regardless, the UC action raises the question, as writer William Jacobson asked, Can the United States divest from the University of California? It might be the only socially responsible thing to do. comments.lowry @nationalreview.com

JOHN CRISP

Arthur Laffer, the economist who came to prominence during the Reagan administration and who is often called the “father of supplyside economics.” George H.W. Bush called this theory of taxation “voodoo economics,” and even though it’s been widely discredited, Laffer is influential in conservative circles. He came to Dallas this month to advertise the benefits of public school vouchers. They are impressive: Laffer’s report says that vouchers would increase the Texas GDP and standard of living by up to 30 percent, adding as much as $460 billion to the economy. It claims that the state’s 130,000 dropouts would be cut by half. New jobs could reach 985,000 and the economic boom could draw 1.1 million to the state. Property values will increase 20 percent or more. In short, even though his report admits that only 0.5 percent to 6 percent of public school students would enroll in a voucher program during its first two years, Laffer contends that the economic impact of school “choice” will be phenomenal. Everyone wins; even public school teachers will enjoy higher salaries. But any report that sets out to support a predetermined principle — and that

does it in such breathless, heady terms — ought to be viewed with considerable skepticism. Although minority children figure prominently in Laffer’s fourcolor report — at least 19 out of the 21 children featured in its photographs are African-American or Hispanic — the first and most obvious beneficiaries of a school voucher program would be the parents of children who are already enrolled in private schools and the schools, themselves, which would have an incentive to raise their prices. These are the people who want voucher programs most of all. We already know how to produce excellent public schools. I went to one, and if you’re reading this paper, you probably did, too. The problem is that we’ve never been willing to produce them for everyone, regardless of race or economic status. The free market isn’t the answer for everything, and not every public good and service can or should be a profit center. Public education has provided a great American legacy, one that has tended to bring us together rather than separate us. We shouldn’t allow that legacy to be undone by ideology. jcrisp@delmar.edu

Three to split Powerball jackpot DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas have matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot, lottery officials said today. Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager and production coordinator for the MultiState Lottery Association, said the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States. Puerto Rico joined Powerball less than a year ago. Besides 44 states and Washington, D.C., the game is also played in the Virgin Islands, but there has never been a jackpot winner there, Dooley said.

Rider with measles prompts alert SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Officials in northern California on Wednesday warned Bay Area Rapid Transit commuters that they may have been exposed to measles after an infected LinkedIn employee used the trains. Contra Costa County public health officials say someone diagnosed with the disease rode BART trains between Lafayette and San Francisco during the morning and evening commutes for three days beginning Feb. 4. Officials said Wednesday that the patient also dined at E&O Kitchen and Bar on Feb. 4. The state Department of Public Health said it does not know how many San Francisco Bay Area residents have measles vaccines. The number of parents declining to vaccinate their children has risen in the region — and the country — in recent years, though the majority is vaccinated.

Court orders release of two journalists CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian judge ordered a pair of AlJazeera English journalists released on bail today as their retrial on terror-related charges continues. The decision comes less than two weeks after the deportation of the reporters’ Australian colleague, Peter Greste, under a new law allowing Egypt’s president to deport foreign defendants or convicts. Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy, who recently renounced his Egyptian citizenship, is widely expected to be similarly deported. Fahmy was ordered to pay $33,000 in bail, far more than any of the other defendants. A third Al-Jazeera English defendant, Baher Mohammed, holds no foreign citizenship and is not eligible for the deportation option. He and the remaining 11 defendants — mostly students charged with involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood — are being freed without bail. The next session in the retrial is scheduled for Feb. 23.

‘Nut rage’ executive sentenced to 1 year SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The inflight tantrum dubbed “nut rage” culminated today in a one-year prison sentence for Korean Air heiress Cho Hyun-ah, a humiliating rebuke that only partially quelled public outrage at the excesses of South Korea’s business elite. Cho, the daughter of Korean Air’s chairman, achieved worldwide notoriety after she ordered the chief flight attendant off a Dec. 5 flight, forcing it to return to the gate at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. Head of cabin service at the time of the incident, Cho was angered she had been offered macadamia nuts in a bag instead of on a dish. A heated and physical confrontation with members of the crew in first class ensued. A Seoul court said Cho, 40, was guilty of forcing a flight to change its route, obstructing the flight’s captain in the performance of his duties, forcing a crew member off a plane and assaulting a crew member.

News from the nation, world

U.N.: 300 migrants missing Mediterranean Sea tragedy sparks criticism by aid groups By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

ROME — Some 300 migrants who tried to cross the frigid Mediterranean in open, rubber boats were reported missing Wednesday by survivors as the U.N. refugee agency and other aid groups sharply criticized the new EU rescue operation as insufficient and costing lives. The suspected deaths add to the 29 reported earlier in the week by the Italian coast guard, which said those victims had died of hypothermia during the voyage that began over the weekend in Libya, where most smuggling operations originate.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said survivors had reported that four boats had left together, without food or water, and that the boats began taking on water almost immediately. Some 107 people had been rescued by the Italian coast guard and a merchant ship. The agency’s spokeswoman in Italy, Carlotta Sami, said the victims had been “swallowed up by the waves,” the youngest a child of 12. The nationalities of the survivors and those missing were not immediately given, but a large proportion of those arriving at the moment are fleeing conflicts in Iraq,

Syria, Mali and elsewhere. UNHCR, Save the Children, Amnesty International and other aid groups blasted the new EU-backed rescue patrol as insufficient for the task at hand. The European Union took over Mediterranean patrols after Italy phased out its robust Mare Nostrum operation in November. Mare Nostrum (Our Seas) had been launched in 2013 after 360 migrants drowned off the coast of the Italian island of Lampedusa, near Sicily. But the EU’s Triton mission only operates a few miles off Europe’s coast — its job is to patrol Europe’s borders — whereas Mare Nostrum patrols took Italian rescue ships up close to Libya’s coast. “The Triton operation doesn’t have as its principal mandate saving human lives, and thus cannot be the re-

sponse that is urgently needed,” Laurens Jolles, the head of the U.N. agency for southern Europe, said in a statement. Save The Children called for the EU to urgently meet to restart Mare Nostrum “or another rescue system that has the mandate, the capacity and means to prevent other tragedies.” Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said he would ask the European Council to respond with “more determination,” but he said the key issue was instability in Libya, the smugglers’ point of departure, not the two operations. “If only the discussion were just about Mare Nostrum or Triton,” Renzi told Sky TG24. “The key political question is that for months, for years, Libya has been completely out of control.”

The spokeswoman for the European Commission, Natasha Bertaud, said the Triton operation operated by the EU’s Frontex border agency cannot possibly do the job with Frontex’s $101.67 million total annual budget. Mare Nostrum, which just patrolled the southern Mediterranean, cost Italy $10.2 million a month to operate. “Pointing fingers is not going to get us anywhere,” Bertaud said in Brussels. “If we want to talk seriously about improving the situation then we also need to talk about financing it adequately.” The commission is currently conducting a feasibility study into whether a border guard system would be worthwhile, with the first discussions expected to begin next month.

SpaceX launches observatory on third attempt By MARCIA DUNN

AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX launched an observatory inspired by former Vice President Al Gore toward a solar-storm lookout point a million miles away Wednesday. The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on the third try in four days, successfully hoisting the spacecraft for NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Air Force. Gore — who dreamed up the idea for an environmentally conscious, Earth-gazing satellite 17 years ago — returned for the sunset launch. He was at the previous two attempts as well, eager to see his brainchild finally soar. Besides watching for solar outbursts, the observatory will provide continuous pictures of the full, sunlit side of Earth. It “will give us a wonderful opportunity to see the beauty and fragility of our planet,” Gore said in a statement. He said he was grateful to all the scientists and others who saw the mission to completion. Unlike Tuesday, the wind stayed within safety limits and everything else went SpaceX’s way — at least for launch. But rough seas forced the company to cancel its effort to land the leftover booster on an ocean platform. Waves towering three stories high crashed over the landing-zone platform floating 370 miles off the Florida coast. Making matters worse,

one of four engines needed to keep the platform steady was not working. With three hours remaining in the countdown, SpaceX called off the radical landing test of the first-stage booster. It would have been just the second such experiment; last month’s try ended in flames when the booster slammed into the platform, fell over and exploded. “Mega storm preventing droneship from remaining on station, so rocket will try to land on water,” SpaceX chief Elon Musk reported via Twitter shortly before liftoff. He said the chance of it surviving was less than 1 percent. Musk later said the rocket landed in the ocean within 10 miles of the target — and “nicely vertical!” Its descent was slowed by a pair of engine firings, with steering by fins attached to the booster. The launch was unaffected by the cancellation of the test, a secondary, personal objective for Musk, SpaceX’s billionaire founder. Sending the observatory on its $340 million mission was the main event. It represented the first deep-space mission for the Southern California company, which also delivers supplies to the International Space Station and aims to haul astronauts as well in two years. NASA and NOAA pulled the sacked satellite out of storage nearly a decade ago, and retooled it to monitor solar outbursts while also measuring ozone in Earth’s atmosphere and changes in the planet’s radiation. Originally named Triana after the

DSCOVR will spend nearly four months traveling 1 million miles, four times farther than the moon, to the socalled Lagrange point, a gravity-neutral position in direct line with the sun. At this lookout location, 92 mil-

lion miles from the sun, it will provide advance warnings of incoming geomagnetic storms that could disrupt power and communications on Earth, beginning around midsummer. A 17-year-old NASA satellite, ACE for Advanced Composition Explorer, already is at the Lagrange or L-1 point, and DSCOVR will take over as the main solar-storm sen-

try, according to NOAA. The steady stream of Earth pictures, meanwhile, is expected to be high on the “wow” factor. The observatory’s camera will provide the first snapshots of the entire home planet, its full face lit by the sun, since NASA’s final Apollo moon-landing in 1972. Subsequent Earth views have been stitched together from multiple images.

Congress sends Keystone pipeline bill to Obama By DINA CAPPIELLO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Congress cleared a bill Wednesday to construct the Keystone XL oil pipeline, setting up a confrontation with President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto the measure. The House passed the bill on a 270-152 vote, endorsing changes made by the Senate that stated climate change was real and not a hoax, and oil sands should no longer be exempt from a tax used to clean up oil spills. Only one Republican, Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, voted against the measure, while 29 Democrats backed it. But neither the House nor the Senate has enough votes to overcome a veto, the first of many skirmishes between the Democratic White House and Congress on energy and environmental policy. Supporters were already strategizing on how to secure the pipeline’s approval using other legislative means. “The evidence is in. The

Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., chair of the Republican Conference, urged President Obama on Wednesday to sign the leglislation passed by Congress approving expansion of the pipeline. case ought to be closed,” said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota, the chief Republican sponsor of the bill, said in a statement “we will continue

to press for approval by attaching an approval measure to another bill, perhaps an energy bill or must-pass appropriations legislation.” Obama “needs to work with Congress in a bipartisan way and approve the Keystone XL pipeline project for

the American people,” he said. For Republicans, the bill’s passage capped weeks of debate on a top priority after they took control of Congress last month. Hours before the vote, they prodded Democrats who did not take their side. House Republicans, who have debated and passed numerous measures on the pipeline only to have them dead-end in the Senate, claimed victory. Rep. Cynthia Lummis, RWyo., said she was a having a “holy cow” moment. “This kind of support ... it doesn’t get any better than this,” she said. Democrats, meanwhile, called the effort a waste of time but said the provisions on global warming and oil spills marked progress for Republicans on those issues. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., said the bill was another example of Republicans prioritizing legislation to demonstrate a message, regardless of its chances of becoming law. The vote Wednesday

marked the 11th attempt by Republicans to advance the pipeline. “The last few years have been like a hamster on a wheel — spinning and spinning and not getting anywhere,” said Hastings, who at one point held up a toy that looked like the rodent. First proposed in 2008, the pipeline has come to symbolize the differences between the parties on energy and environmental matters. Republicans and the oil industry have argued the $8 billion infrastructure project is about jobs and boosting energy security, by importing oil from a friendly neighbor and shipping it to domestic refineries subject to more stringent environmental regulations. Democrats, and their environmental allies, have characterized it as a gift to the oil industry that would worsen global warming and subject parts of the country to the risks of an oil spill, with little economic benefit because the oil and its refined product would be exported abroad.

Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun signs defaced BAINBRIDGE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials said several signs posted in a rural south-central Pennsylvania township to let motorists know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a gun-free zoneâ&#x20AC;? have been defaced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but they think they have a way to cash in on all the attention theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received. Lancaster Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conoy Township recently erected a dozen signs saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to Conoy Township. THIS IS NOT A GUN FREE ZONE.â&#x20AC;? A supervisor said it was a response to recent home invasions and petty crime. LNP reported that someone spray-painted over four of the signs last week. But now the township is getting requests from people who want to buy similar signs. Supervisor Stephen Mohr said requests have come in from as far away as California, Florida and Texas, and from gun rights groups.

Students given â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fifty Shadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game MONESSEN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Parents in a Pennsylvania school district are turning 50 shades of red over word search puzzles given to middle school students based on an erotic novel and movie. The students in Monessen were given puzzles based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty Shades of Greyâ&#x20AC;? that contained terms including â&#x20AC;&#x153;spanking,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;submissive,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;leather cuffsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bondage.â&#x20AC;? Other words on the list were more explicit. Parent James Carter complained about it at Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board meeting, saying he tried to question the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal and dean of students, but they refused to talk when he insisted on recording their conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to record the conversation because a lot of parents had questions about it, and I was denied that,â&#x20AC;? Carter told the board. Monessen district officials said at the meeting that they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss the issue because they just learned about it Monday. Superintendent Leanne Spazak said the circumstances of the puzzle are under investigation.

Corman: NCAA should fire chief over PSU sanctions By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Pennsylvania lawmaker whose lawsuit led the NCAA to lift the last of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanctions stemming from the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal said Wednesday the organization misled university officials and that its president, Mark Emmert, should be fired. Jake Corman, the state Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority leader, also said that under Emmert the NCAA exceeded its legal authority while it pursued the sanctions in 2012 in a bid to expand its own power. Corman, whose district includes Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus, released thousands of pages of case documents from the now-settled lawsuit and said he was sending them to the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they review it carefully, they will come to the conclusion that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culture problem at the NCAA, and if they truly believe in their core values in their mission statement ... they will determine that Mark Emmert is no longer a credible person

â&#x20AC;&#x153;IF THEY review it carefully, they will come to the conclusion that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culture problem at the NCAA. ...â&#x20AC;? Jake Corman,

state Senate majority leader to lead this organization,â&#x20AC;? Corman told a packed conference room in his Pennsylvania Capitol office. Donald Remy, the chief legal officer of college sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; governing body, shot back at Corman, accusing him in a statement of seeking to capitalize politically on a settled matter and maintaining that the NCAA is focused on helping victims of child sexual abuse. The NCAA agreed last month to restore 112 football wins it had stripped from Penn State and Joe Paterno following the scandal and to reinstate the venerated late coach as the winningest in major college football history. Sandusky had retired as Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator years earlier. The agreement lifted the last of the sanctions imposed in 2012 and settled the lawsuit by Corman and former Pennsylvania Treas-

the

FIND A

urer Rob McCord. The suit initially had sought to ensure Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $60 million fine was spent on child abuse-prevention programs in Pennsylvania, rather than around the nation. But the case transformed into a test of the legality of the sanctions before the NCAA agreed to settle it in an effort, the organization said at the time, to stop the litigation from holding up distribution of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to child abuse-prevention programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is no coincidence that (Cormanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) political career was simultaneously elevated during a litigation impacting the disbursement of money to child sexual abuse victims nationwide,â&#x20AC;? Remy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In settling the litigation, the NCAA agreed to move forward so that discussions could be rightfully refocused towards child sexual abuse survivors.â&#x20AC;?

On Wednesday, Corman posted online transcripts of 16 depositions in the case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Emmertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 265 exhibits, amounting to what he said is 4,900 pages. Among them, Corman pointed to a deposition in which NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee chairman in 2012, Oregon State President Ed Ray, said he had never heard of the executive committee wanting to shut down Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program. Corman also pointed to testimony by Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then-president, Rodney Erickson, in which he said Emmert told him, after the July 2012 release of Louis Freehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report on the Sandusky scandal, that many of the university presidents on the executive committee had read it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said that everyone viewed this as the worse scandal ever in sports,â&#x20AC;? Ericksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transcript said. Emmert went on to tell him that the university presidents â&#x20AC;&#x153;want blood,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said in his deposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said they would like to shut your program down for multiple years; never seen

them so angry and upset.â&#x20AC;? Emmert then suggested that the only way to keep the football program alive was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;craft a package of what he said would be very, very severe sanctions,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said in the deposition. Days later, Erickson agreed to the NCAA sanctions, which also included a loss of some football scholarships and a temporary ban on postseason football play. In addition, Corman accused the NCAA of having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture problemâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a reference to criticism of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football culture by Emmert â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because it sought to push the boundaries of its authority by punishing Penn State. In one internal NCAA email singled out by Corman, the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of academic and membership affairs, Kevin Lennon, suggested that the NCAA was banking on the fact that Penn State officials were so embarrassed that they would agree to the sanctions. But, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this will force the jurisdictional issue that we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a great answer to that one.â&#x20AC;?

Hearing set for boy charged in death NEW CASTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A boy charged with fatally shooting his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnant fiancee when he was just 11 will get a hearing March 5 to determine if he deserves a new juvenile court trial. The state Supreme Court in December sent the matter back to Lawrence County juvenile court to hold a hearing about the evidence used to convict Jordan Brown of the February 2009 shotgun killing of Kenzie Houk, 26, and her unborn son. Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers and state prosecutors will both file motions before the March 5 hearing, which will determine whether he receives a new juvenile court trial. His attorneys contend there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough evidence to find him delinquent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the juvenile court equivalent of guilty. Brown, who is now 17, remains in a juvenile facility. Prosecutors say none of the evidence points to anybody else.

Obama war power plan in search of its first supporter By DAVID ESPO and MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One day after President Barack Obama sent Congress legislation backing the use of military force against Islamic State militants, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still searching for his first outright supporter for the measure. Republicans and Democrats, House and Senate, senior lawmakers and newcomers to Congress, lawmakers across the congressional spectrum all found parts of the proposal to oppose on Wednesday, or else said nothing to tip their hand. In Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own party, Sen. Patrick Leahy, of Vermont, the senior Democrat in the Senate, referred to two wars in the past decade and a half and said any legislation must

avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;repeating the missteps of the past.â&#x20AC;? He added it must stay clear of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;open-ended authorization that becomes legal justification for future actions against unknown enemies, in unknown places, at unknown times.â&#x20AC;? Rep. Ted Lieu of California, a first-term Democrat, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Obama had yet made the case that the Islamic State terrorist group â&#x20AC;&#x153;represents a direct, grave threat to the United States.â&#x20AC;? Republicans control a majority in both the House and Senate, and made clear they will insist on changes. They focused, in part, on Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to rule out â&#x20AC;&#x153;enduring offensive combat operations,â&#x20AC;? while leaving the door open to a more limited role.

against Islamic State fighters would be authorized for three years, unbounded by national borders. The fight could be extended to any â&#x20AC;&#x153;closely related successor entityâ&#x20AC;? to the Islamic State organization that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria, imposed a stern form of Sharia law and killed several hostages it has taken, Americans among them. While asking lawmakers to bar long-term, large-scale ground combat operations like those in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama said he wants the flexibility for ground combat operations â&#x20AC;&#x153;in other more limited circumstances.â&#x20AC;? Those include rescue missions, intelligence collection and the use of special operations forces in possible military action against Islamic State leaders.

Governor details plan for gas tax Continued from Page 1 passing the cost of the tax on to the many Pennsylvania landowners who have leased parcels for drilling. He estimated that the revenue could reach $1 billion by 2016-17, the first full year the proposed tax would be in place. He responded to critics who suggested that estimate is inflated by acknowledging that revenues are likely to fluctuate based on market prices. The governor said “the lion’s share” of the money would be funneled to schools, but declined to be more specific about exactly how much. He acknowledged that a portion of the revenue would replace what is now provided by a per-well “impact fee” imposed under Corbett that helps municipalities affected by drilling — a fee that critics say amounts to a 1 percent or 2 percent tax rate. Additional shares would go to the Department of Environmental Protection and development of alternative energy sources, he said. Wolf faces Republican majorities in both houses of the Legislature, which would have to approve any new tax, but he professed optimism that a compromise is possible, noting that lawmakers from both parties have proposed similar taxes. “We all want the same ends,” he said. “We want a great, strong economy. We want good jobs. We want schools that teach. We want government that works. We have different ideas as to how we get to those goals. But I think we’re not going to have gridlock.” House Majority Leader Dave Reed said the 4.7cent-per-1,000-gallon levy, when combined with the severance tax, would push the effective rate of Wolf’s proposal to 7.5 percent, which he said would be one of the nation’s highest. “We all need to remember, there is no ‘free money,’” said Reed, R-Indi-

ana. “By adding 4.7 cents for each 1,000 cubic feet on top of the 5 percent on the value of the gas, the governor is, in actuality, pushing roughly a 7.5 percent effective tax rate — one of the highest in the nation. In fact, of the top natural gas producing states, only Texas taxes at this rate, and comparatively, they don’t have a corporate tax like Pennsylvania.” “A comparison to West Virginia isn’t exactly fair either. Their corporate tax rate is just 6.5 percent, compared to our 9.9 percent rate. Its energy production and job growth has slowed compared to Pennsylvania — possibly due to the higher tax. Their unemployment rate stands at 6.3 percent, compared to our 4.8 percent.” Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, reiterated that Republicans will not support new taxes until significant steps are taken to rein in the mushrooming costs of public pensions. “We support education funding, however, right now, two-thirds of every new dollar coming into the state coffers goes directly to pay state pensions. The reality is that we have to reform the pension system this year — we have to plug the leak.” Corman said. Industry advocates said companies have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the impact fee, most of which flows through counties to municipalities that host the gas wells. They said a new tax would discourage capital investment and hurt the small Pennsylvania businesses that are important parts of the supply chain. “Pennsylvanians are looking to their elected officials to help create new jobs, not new taxes, especially during these difficult and challenging times,” said David Spigelmyer, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition.

If the project is to be funded, it must be shovel ready by the end of 2016. Supervisors took no action on the corridor. In other business, supervisors: • Again tabled a motion to set supervisor pay for meetings. After re-examining the meeting schedule, the rate would be $143.75 for 28 meetings, said Milt Lady, township manager. This is based on an allowance of $4,125 a year. The supervisors asked for more time to review the new information. The new rates would only

apply to new or re-elected supervisors. • Announced a vacancy on the Indiana Area Parks and Recreation board after the resignation of John Simonik. Any White Township resident interested in serving on the board should give notice. • Will pay up to $7,716.61 more for a 2015 International truck purchased through the Costars program. The purchase of the truck was approved at the last meeting, but the seller made a mathematical error in the final price. The error brings the price of the truck to $184,204.79. • Were notified that the John A. Lefdahl Funeral Home will apply for a fiveyear air quality operating permit for the pet crematory.

Study: Smoking even worse Continued from Page 1 making in public health,” said Brian D. Carter, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society and the first author of an article about the study, which appears in The New England Journal of Medicine. “It’s not a done story.” In an editorial accompanying the article, Dr. Graham A. Colditz, from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, said the new findings showed that officials in the U.S. had substantially underestimated the effect smoking had had on public health. He said smokers, particularly those who depended on Medicaid, had not been receiving enough help to quit. About 42 million Americans smoke — 15 percent of women and 21 percent of men — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research has shown that their death rates are two to three times higher than those of people who never smoked and that on average they die more than a decade before nonsmokers. Smokers are more than 20 times as likely as nonsmokers to die of lung cancer. Poor people and those with less formal education are the most likely to smoke. Carter said he was inspired to dig deeper into the causes of death in smokers after taking an initial look at data from five large health surveys being conducted by other researchers. The participants were 421,378 men and 532,651 women 55 and older, including nearly 89,000 current smokers. As expected, death rates were higher among the smokers. But diseases known to be caused by tobacco accounted for only 83 percent of the excess deaths in people who smoked. “I thought, ‘Wow, that’s really low,’” Carter said. “We have this huge cohort. Let’s get into

Captain of Costa Concordia sentenced to 16 years in prison By GAIA PIANIGIANI

New York Times News Service

ROME — An Italian court on Wednesday convicted Francesco Schettino, the captain of the cruise liner that capsized in 2012 and left 32 people dead, and sentenced him to just over 16 years in prison for his role in the maritime disaster, one of the worst in modern Italian history. The captain’s lawyers said they would appeal to a higher court in Florence. Appeals in Italian criminal cases can take years to resolve. The captain was not in the courtroom when the verdict was read. Prosecutors in the Tuscan town of Grosseto, where the trial was held, had sought a sentence of more than 26 years for Schettino, whom they held responsible for sailing too close to shore and hitting a submerged rock off the

island of Giglio and for not promptly ordering the evacuation of the stricken ship. In closing arguments that went on for several days, prosecutors attacked Schettino’s conduct on the night of the shipwreck, called him a “reckless idiot,” accused him of making deadly mistakes and said he had lied to passengers, maritime authorities and rescue officials. One of the prosecutors, Alessandro Leopizzi, pointedly noted how the captain had managed to safely reach Giglio, “without even getting his feet wet,” while passengers remained on the tilting ship. In taped conversations from that night, the captain told a coast guard official he had tripped onto a lifeboat before the evacuation was completed. Although Schettino, 54, acknowledged some responsibility for the disaster during

Fyock was nominated for the award by American Legion Post #0407 in Blairsville. According to post Commander Bill Orr, Fyock was selected because of his activities countywide. He is very active in community involvement and programs aimed at curbing drug and alcohol use by youths. Fyock is also an active supporter of veterans’ activities for the county. He is a member of American Legion Post 141 in Indiana, and a Vietnam veteran. “We are very proud to be the sponsoring post for this award, and very proud of Sheriff Fyock,” Orr said. “He will represent Indiana County, and all veterans, very well. Congratulations to him.”

the trial, he defended the decisions he made, such as not dropping the anchor soon after the ship collided with the rock. He said he delayed sounding an alarm to prevent greater panic among the passengers. “I was put in a media meat grinder,” Schettino said in his final address to the court before the verdict Wednesday. “That has put the entire responsibility for this incident on to me, with no respect for the truth.” He maintained in court that he had saved lives by steering the cruise liner toward the coast. In defending his actions, the captain said his orders were not executed correctly by his crew, including an Indonesian helmsman who veered the ship in the opposite direction. He also cited technical malfunctions. The trial took 19 months.

the weeds, cast a wide net and see what is killing smokers that we don’t already know.” The research was paid for by the American Cancer Society, and Carter worked with scientists from four universities and the National Cancer Institute. The study was observational, meaning it looked at people’s habits such as smoking and noted statistical correlations between their behavior and their health. Correlation does not prove cause and effect, so this kind of research is not considered as strong as experiments in which participants are assigned at random to treatments or placebos, and then compared. But people cannot ethically be instructed to smoke for a study, so a lot of the data on smoking’s effects on people comes from observational studies. Analyzing deaths among the participants from 2000 to 2011, the researchers found that, compared with people who had never smoked, smokers were about twice as likely to die from infections, kidney disease, respiratory ailments not previously linked to tobacco, and hypertensive heart disease, in which high blood pressure leads to heart failure. Smokers were also six times more likely to die from a rare illness caused by insufficient blood flow to the intestines. Carter said he had confidence in the findings because biologically, it made sense that those conditions were related to tobacco. Smoking can weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of infection, he said. It is also known to cause diabetes, high blood pressure and artery disease, all of which can lead to kidney problems. Lung damage from smoke, combined with increased vulnerability to infection, can lead to respiratory illnesses.

Continued from Page 1 less devices. Tom Stutzman, director of the Indiana County Emergency Management Agency, said there are now about 38,000 landline phones in Indiana County compared to about 67,000 in 1992. Cellphone and wireless customers pay a $1-permonth surcharge, and phones on prepaid plans are assessed a $1 surcharge only when activated and $1 when they are reactivated. Stutzman said a complication under the current system is that the funding is based on wireless telephone call volumes and the volumes fluctuate from one reporting year to another, making it difficult to project what the funding level will be. The county received 63 cents on the surcharge dollar for the 2014 reporting year but only 43 cents on the surcharge dollar for the 2013 reporting year, he said. Stutzman said about 63 percent of calls coming into the Indiana County 911 center are made over wireless devices but the county does not receive the entire dollar surcharge on each wireless device. Indiana County’s 911 telephone system has a 2015 budget of $2,334,873. Essentially, Stutzman summarized, the cost to the county of maintaining and operating the 911 phone system — everything from expensive new technologies to rising salaries and benefits for a larger number of dispatchers working in the center — has risen dramatically while the funding stream through the state has remained flat. And the cost of maintaining and operating the 911 telephone system remains the same regardless of the number of calls received and regardless of whether the calls come in over a landline phone or a cellphone or other wireless device. Stutzman said the current funding structure covers only 39.7 percent of Indiana County’s cost to provide 911 service. And the situation may worsen on June 30. That’s when one of the funding sources, the $1-per-month wireless telephone surcharge, is scheduled to sunset. The commissioners said reform of the 911 telephone services system is the No. 1 priority in the state, as determined by the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. And the commissioners Wednesday passed a resolution supporting a comprehensive rewrite of the state law governing the 911 phone system “that increases 911 subscriber fees to a level that fully supports current and next generation operations, and which keys the fees to inflation or allows for other mechanisms to provide regular adjustments to meet system needs.” Copies of the resolution will be sent to Indiana County’s state legislators and Gov. Tom Wolf. In another action, the commissioners gave approval for the county’s Office of Planning and Development to submit a preapplication to the state for a $1,150,000 grant for a renovation of the Dixonville Commons Building, formerly the Polyvision plant, in Green Township. The building has been underused since Polyvision closed its operations there in 2009. If invited to make a full application to the state, the Indiana County Development Corporation will help in implementing the grant to upgrade the building for future tenants and market the site to prospective businesses. The property has been designated a Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone through 2023. The commissioners also reminded the public that the courthouse will be closed Monday in observance of Presidents Day.

Lake Effect

PITTSBURGH — Blake Comeau spent seven long weeks dealing with an upper body injury that lingered far longer than he would have liked. The energetic Pittsburgh Penguins forward did his best to make up for lost time. Comeau picked up an assist on his first shift in nearly two months

and threw in a goal of his own in Pittsburgh’s impressive 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. “I’ve never gone through an injury like that where I’ve missed that much time,” Comeau said. “It felt like longer than it was just skating on my own. When you’ve been out that long, it definitely eases the mind a little when you can get on the score sheet right away.”

Comeau ended his first shift back by helping set up Patric Hornqvist’s 15th goal of the year. Comeau wasn’t done, drilling a one-timer by Detroit’s Petr Mrazek later in the period as the Penguins put together perhaps their finest 60 minutes of hockey in weeks. “I think we’ve got to use it for some momentum here,” Comeau said. “We’ve got to realize what we did well.” Continued on Page 17

IHS gets the best of its old rival By DUSTIN FILLOY

dfilloy@indianagazette.net

Playoff-bound Indiana reignited an old rivalry with Peters Township by delivering the final blow in a physical, back-and-forth game that was decided in overtime Wednesday night at S&T Bank Arena. After withstanding a two-goal rush in the third period, Indiana regained the upper hand in overtime and finished off Peters Township with a Tyler Barker goal late in the period that sealed a 4-3 win in a PIHL Division II Class B hockey game. The majority of Indiana players didn’t know it, but the win gave Indiana some bragging rights in its longstanding rivalry with Peters Township, even though Wednesday’s win was over the Peters Township “B” team.

Peters Township topped Indiana in the 2002 and 2004 Class AA Penguin Cup Finals games. Peters Township also plays in Class AAA and is one of a handful of schools that put a second varsity team in Division II this year. The win also helped Indiana (12-42) solidify second place in the final regular-season standings. The Indians travel to Brady’s Run Park Ice Arena to face Beaver tonight. “Obviously it’s a great win for the team, especially with that extra value sprinkled in there,” said Indiana’s T.J. Petro, who recorded a hat trick. “It’s great to almost like avenge the team before us. We always looked up to those guys and always came to their games to watch them. We always wanted to be like them, and to finally be like them and win a game against

an old rival just feels really good.” “That definitely makes it more meaningful,” added Barker. “It’s always fun beating old rivals.” Because goalie Nick Schneider was late getting out of the dressing room, Peters Township had to place a pair of defensemen in front of its net for Indiana’s first shift of the game. Petro capitalized on Schneider’s tardiness and cranked a slap shot from near the blue line that caromed off defenseman Matthew Michalowski and into the goal to give Indiana a 1-0 lead just 42 seconds into the game. “We thought we were going to come out and bury a few and then we wanted to keep that tempo going and try to get as many as we could before they had a goalie,” said Petro. “But it was just really a curveball.

WVU snaps two-game skid

AP Sports Writer

LAS VEGAS — He couldn’t stop fighting the NCAA any more than he could give up chewing towels courtside. Jerry Tarkanian built a basketball dynasty in the desert, but it was his decades-long battle with the NCAA that defined him far more than the wins and losses. The coach who won a national title at UNLV and made the school synonmous with basketball died Wednesday JERRY after several TARKANIAN years of health issues. He was 84. Tarkanian put the run in the Runnin’ Rebels, taking them to four Final Fours and winning a national championship in 1990 with one of the most dominant college teams ever. His teams were as flamboyant as the city, with light shows and fireworks for pregame introductions and celebrities jockeying for position on the socalled Gucci Row courtside. He ended up beating the NCAA, too, collecting a $2.5 million settlement after suing the organization for trying to run him out of college basketball. The night before he died, fans attending UNLV’s game against Fresno State draped towels over the statue of Tarkanian outside the campus arena that depicts Tarkanian chewing on one of his famous towels. Tarkanian’s wife, Lois, said her husband — hospitalized Monday with an infection and breathing difficulties — fought health problems for the last six years with the same “courage and tenacity” he showed throughout his life. Tarkanian was an innovator who preached defense yet loved to watch his teams run. And run they did, beginning with his first Final Four team in 1976-77, which scored more than 100 points in 23 games in an era before both the shot clock and the 3-point shot. He recruited players other coaches often wouldn’t touch, building teams with junior college transfers and kids from checkered backgrounds. His teams at UNLV were national powerhouses almost every year, yet Tarkanian never seemed to get his due when the discussion turned to the all-time coaching greats. That changed in 2013 when the man popularly referred to as Tark the Shark was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Tarkanian’s career spanned 31 years with three Division I schools, beginning at Long Beach State and ending at Fresno State, where Tarkanian himself played in 1954 and 1955. Only twice did his teams fail to win at least 20 games in a season. But it was at UNLV where his reputation was made, both as a coach of teams that often scored in the triple digits and as an outlaw not afraid to stand up to the powerful NCAA. He went 509-105 in 19 seasons with the Runnin’ Rebels before finally being forced out by the university after a picture was published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal showing some of his players in a hot tub with a convicted game fixer. UNLV was already on probation at the time, just two years after winning the national title and a year after the Runnin’ Rebels — led by Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony — went undefeated into the Final Four before being upset in the semifinals by the same Duke team they beat by 30 points for the championship the year before. Even after losing four of his starters off that team and being on probation, Tarkanian went 26-2 in his final year at UNLV. The NCAA took away wins from some of his teams, but the family preferred to go with his on court record of 784-202.

PITTSBURGH’S JAMEL ARTIS went to the hoop against Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell during Wednesday’s game in Louisville, Ky.

Cardinals soar over Pitt in second half By GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Other than jumping out to a 29-0 lead against Savannah State earlier this season, No. 9 Louisville has rarely overwhelmed opponents with the game-changing effort on both ends of the floor. That changed Wednesday night as junior forward Montrezl Harrell had 28 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks, many of them during the Cardinals’ 22-2 second-half flurry that helped Louisville beat Pittsburgh 69-56. Strong shooting positioned the Panthers to take control with a 45-39 lead before the Cardinals (20-4, 8-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) answered with an energetic 14-1 run including several baskets set up by their trademark pressure defense. Harrell was in the mix on both ends with blocked shots, rebounds and a couple of steals along with momentumshifting dunks. Louisville held Pitt (16-9, 5-6) to just two late field goals in the final 1:33 to break it open and complete a season sweep. The Cardinals struggled for about the same length of time during Saturday’s loss at No. 3 Virginia. “We made our press a factor,” said Harrell, who played the entire game. “We started pressing the right way. We started making extra rotations. We started making them speed up their offense and running all different things they didn’t want to run.” Terry Rozier scored 18 of his 22 points after halftime for the Cardinals, who shot 47 percent and outrebounded the Panthers 39-29. Michael Young had 16 points and Jamel Artis 15 for Pitt, but neither were factors down the stretch thanks to Louisville’s defense, which eventually held the Panthers to

38-percent shooting en route to ending their three-game winning streak. The Panthers were outscored 30-18 in the paint and committed 10 turnovers resulting in 16 points. “I wouldn’t say it was intimidation,” Panthers forward Sheldon Jeter said. “I would just say — scratch that. I would say it was intimidation.” The Cardinals’ performance was especially impressive considering Pitt was coming off a season-high scoring output in Saturday’s 8377 win over Syracuse with five players in double figures. The Cardinals also mounted that run with senior guard Chris Jones (seven points) and senior forward Wayne Blackshear (hip pointer) on the bench. Of course, Harrell was more than willing to carry the load with his shot working inside and out during a stretch that provided Louisville’s 27-22 halftime lead before turning the game the Cardinals’ way. He showed flash on one basket when he dribbled once and quickly spun around a defender for a nifty reverse layup. Then came the first of three 18-foot jumpers sandwiched around another layup before Harrell finished the half with a bad heave that rolled off his fingers but somehow found the basket. Harrell punctuated the big run with a thunderous dunk that brought the house down, much like it did not long ago. “Even when he gets double-teamed, he can get to places you shouldn’t go and still get to the rim,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “He can go behind the backboard, come back in, and still be above the rim. He’s got tremendous length. Harrell’s stamina was amazing as well.

Buckeyes blow past Lions By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sam Thompson listened to praise about his outside shooting and almost took it as an insult. “I can still jump a little bit,” he said with a grin. Thompson scored a careerhigh 22 points and D’Angelo Russell flirted with his second straight triple-double to lead No. 23 Ohio State past Penn State 75-55 on Wednesday night. The Buckeyes (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten), who have won five of six, are a superior team when Russell has a running mate who joins him in the 20point range. “It makes it easier. A lot easier,” said Russell, the nation’s leading freshman scorer, who had 17 points, six rebounds and seven assists. “Teams can’t really key on me if the other guys are stepping up and doing what they’re good at.” For at least his first couple of years at Ohio State, Thompson, a 6-foot-7 senior, was known for his highlightreel dunks but little else offensively. He was hardly a factor from the perimeter and didn’t drive to the hoop much. But against offensively challenged Penn State (1510, 3-9), he shot 3 of 5 on 3pointers and 7 of 9 from the free throw line to eclipse his previous career best of 20 points against Iona in the 2013 NCAA tournament. Thompson also had the primary defensive responsibility against Newbill, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, who came in averaging 20.9 points a game. He ended up

OHIO STATE’S Sam Thompson, left, and Penn State’s Geno Thorpe battled for a loose ball during Wednesday’s game in Columbus, Ohio. 5 of 13 from the field. “It was just making him work, no open looks, trying to keep him off the foul line and stay down on his fakes,” Thompson said. “And make sure when he had the ball he saw five Ohio State defenders.” “That was big for us. I’m so happy to see the ball going in for Sam,” coach Thad Matta said. “He puts a lot of time in. We’ve kind of been saying, if we can get him making some shots it makes us a lot more effective. Everybody fears him running to the rim, (but) being able to step out and make a shot definitely helps open things up for us.” Ohio State never trailed after streaking to a 12-0 lead while holding Penn State scoreless for the first 6:54.

The Lions drew as close as 24-16 before Ohio State pulled away for good. Thompson hit a layup off Russell’s assist before Russell made a teardrop and two free throws and Jae’Sean Tate scored inside. After Julian Moore hit a basket for Penn State, Russell poured in a long, arching 3-pointer to make it 35-18. D.J. Newbill had 16 points for Penn State, which swept the two-game series last year after losing 18 straight to the Buckeyes. “We took some really good shots in that first 4 minutes and they didn’t fall. And for the first time I saw us get deflated. I haven’t seen that all year,” coach Patrick Chambers said. “And Ohio State wouldn’t let us back.”

Another strong effort from its bench helped stop No. 21 West Virginia’s tailspin in February. Reserve Brandon Watkins scored a career-high 14 points and West Virginia surrendered a double-digit lead before recovering for a 76-72 win over Kansas State on Wednesday night. West Virginia (19-5, 7-4 Big 12) snapped a two-game losing streak and handed the Wildcats their fifth straight loss. Kansas State (12-13, 5-7) scored 12 unanswered points to take a 69-67 lead late, but the Wildcats scored three the rest of the game. “We needed this win,” West Virginia’s Gary Browne said. “But at the same time it was ugly. We should have won by 20.” Juwan Staten added 11 points and reserves Jaysean Paige and Jevon Carter had 10 apiece for West Virginia. The Mountaineers’ bench outscored the Wildcats’ 4719. It was the first game scoring in double figures this season for Watkins, who has averaged only seven minutes of playing time off the bench. His game-high nine rebounds were more than onethird of his previous total for the entire season. “I think he got tired of sitting on the bench and did something about it,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. But Huggins said Watkins made have been injured late in the game. Huggins didn’t specify the injury and indicated he would know more on Thursday. Watkins made a pair of baskets and two free throws over a two-minute stretch to put West Virginia ahead 61-50 with 11:17 remaining. But he didn’t score the rest of the game and the Mountaineers got careless. West Virginia missed five straight free throws and didn’t score over a threeminute span to allow Kansas State to mount its comeback. Nigel Johnson made two layups and two free throws in 11 seconds, and Nino Williams capped the 12-0 run with a layup and free throw with 2:25 left to give Kansas State its first lead since early in the game. “We kept fighting back and eventually we got over the hump and got a lead,” Weber said. “I was hoping and praying that some good things would happen, but they made more plays and that’s the difference in the game.” Nathan Adrian made two free throws and Devin Williams’ second basket of the game put West Virginia ahead to stay at 71-69 with 1:51 left. After the teams traded a free throw apiece, Johnson was called for an intentional foul with 20 seconds left. Carter made both free throws, Browne added two more with 10 seconds left and the Mountaineers held on. West Virginia shot 28 percent from the floor after halftime. “We’re pretty good at bad shot selection,” Huggins said. “I’m going to say today was a win, but it was frustrating.” Nino Williams, who missed most of the teams’ first meeting last month with a left knee injury, led Kansas State with 22 points. Johnson and Justin Edwards scored 14 apiece and Thomas Gipson had 10. NO. 2 VIRGINIA 51, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 47: Malcolm Brogdon scored 15 points and Mike Tobey had a couple of key second-half plays to help No. 2 Virginia hold off North Carolina State 51-47 on Wednesday night. Tobey scored nine of his 11 after halftime for the Cavaliers (22-1, 10-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Tobey also came down with

WEST VIRGINA guard Juwan Staten went to the hoop during Wednesday’s game in Morgantown, W.Va. a critical rebound and hit two free throws with 7 seconds left to make it a twopossession game, then Brogdon hit two more with 1.4 seconds left to seal it. Trevor Lacey scored 14 points to lead the Wolfpack. NO. 6 VILLANOVA 74, PROVIDENCE 68: Ryan Arcidiacono scored 20 points, Daniel Ochefu had 19 and Villanova held off upset-minded Providence. Darrun Hilliard added 16 points to help the Wildcats (22-2, 9-2 Big East) win their fifth straight. LaDontae Henton scored 23 points, and Kris Dunn and Tyler Harris added 17 apiece to lead Providence (17-8, 74). Villanova broke open a close game in the second half as Josh Hart scored all 10 of his points after the break. Hart made two 3-pointers and Ochefu had five points during an 11-0 run that stretched the lead to 48-34 with 8:16 left. NO. 13 NORTHERN IOWA 83, ILLINOIS STATE 64: Seth Tuttle scored 23 points and Northern Iowa rolled past Illinois State for its 12th straight victory. Deon Mitchell had 12 points for the Panthers (23-2, 12-1 Missouri Valley Conference), who matched topranked Kentucky with their 23rd win. Only third-ranked Gonzaga has more wins than the Panthers, who haven’t lost since New Year’s Day. Daishon Knight had 16 points for Illinois State. NO. 15 WICHITA STATE 74, INDIANA STATE 57: Fred VanVleet followed up a triple-double with 21 points, and Wichita State cruised to an easy win over Indiana State. Darius Carter added 17 points and Tekele Cotton finished with 16 as Wichita State (22-3, 12-1 Missouri Valley) beat the Sycamores (12-13, 85) for the fifth straight time. VanVleet also had six rebounds, four assists and three steals in his virtuoso performance. The Shockers have won 30 straight at home, the fourthbest active streak in the nation. Tre Bennett had 11 points to lead Indiana State. NO. 19 MARYLAND 68, INDIANA 66: Melo Trimble and Dez Wells each scored 18 points as Maryland edged Indiana to gain a split of the season series. The Terrapins trailed 61-59 before Wells tied it with a shot in the lane. After Collin Hartman missed a layup on the other end, Jake Layman scored inside with 1:02 remaining to put Maryland ahead for good.

Career High

AROUND THE AREA By The Indiana Gazette

Okopal nets 29 in Trojans’ victory over Colts By The Indiana Gazette Saltsburg’s Abbie Okopal scored a career-high 29 points and led the Trojans past host Northern Cambria for a 56-42 victory in a Heritage Conference girls’ basketball game on Wednesday. The Trojans jumped out to an eightpoint lead, 27-19 by halftime and used their defense to stay up, racking up 15 steals throughout the game. “Our girls played very well tonight on defense,” said Saltsburg coach Janelle Reed. “They did a nice job anticipating passes and keeping their hands up to get steals.” Cassidy Edmundson added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Trojans, and Isabel Satler chipped in 11 points and six rebounds. Taylor Strong paced the Colts with 15 points and Allison Sedlock scored 13. Saltsburg (12-8, 9-6) plays host to Penns Manor tonight. Northern Cambria (0-20, 0-16) plays host to Harmony on Friday. UNITED 44, PURCHASE LINE 40: United took advantage of free throw opportunities in the fourth quarter to stay far enough ahead of host Purchase Line to hold on for a victory in a Heritage Conference matchup. Leading by one, 31-30, entering the fourth quarter, the Lions knocked down 7 of 10 free throws to keep the Red Dragons at bay. “It was a close game throughout,” said Purchase Line coach Rebecca

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP Hudak. “(United) made four more shots from the foul line than we did, and that made the difference.” Jaycelyn Fleming turned in a double-double to lead Purchase Line, with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Brooke Riva added 12 points. Michelle Bloom guided the Lions with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Hope Hixson had 11 and Taylor Mack chipped in 10. Both teams play tonight. Purchase Line (8-11, 4-10) travels to Ligonier Valley, and United (10-11, 7-8) plays host to Marion Center. BLAIRSVILLE 77, LIGONIER VALLEY 35: Blairsville won its 54th consecutive Heritage Conference game, easily defeating Ligonier Valley. The Bobcats jumped out to a 27point lead, 44-17, by halftime and held the Rams to 10 points or fewer in each of the four quarters. Four players reached double figures for the Bobcats. Laurel O’Barto led all scorers with 19 points, Chelsey Koren and Rena Enterline added 16 points apiece and Nicole Boyer chipped in 15. Olivia Miller powered the Rams, scoring 14 points and grabbing eight rebounds.

Ligonier Valley (10-11, 7-8) plays host to Purchase Line tonight. Blairsville (19-2, 15-0) plays host to Purchase Line on Friday.

BOYS MARION CENTER 43, SALTSBURG 38: The host Stingers ended their season on a high note, defeating playoffbound Saltsburg in a Heritage Conference game. Trailing by four entering the fourth quarter, the Stingers took advantage of the Trojans defensive alignment and used a 14-point burst to pull ahead. “They used a man-to-man defense in the fourth quarter, and we were able to find some good matchups that way,” said Marion Center assistant coach Nathan Johns. Hunter Stiteler led the Stingers with 15 points, and Craig Irvin added 14. Saltsburg’s Frankie Plowman nailed five 3-point field goals to help him to his game-high 22 points. Marion Center finished the season with an overall record of 10-12 and a conference record of 9-7, closing out the season with a three-game winning streak. “We started playing much better in the second half of the season,” said Johns. “Even though we’re not going to the playoffs, when we look at the way we compared to other teams of our ranking, we are satisfied with the way the team came along.” Saltsburg (10-10, 7-8) travels to Northern Cambria tonight.

IUP men lose on late 3-pointer

Continued from Page 13 of 3s, and people shoot 3s better against them than almost anybody in the conference. That said, now when we get those looks we have to make them.” And that last one was against all odds. After IUP’s Daddy Ugbede scored with 23.8 seconds left to tie the game at 55, Mercyhurst used a timeout to set up its last possession. The ball ended up in Onana’s hands about 21 feet from the basket on the left wing. He pulled up and took a halfturnaround jumper with IUP’s Shawn Dyer in his face. It banged off the backboard and into the basket. “We just got fortunate. We just got lucky,” Manchel said. “Dyer was all over him. It was a lucky shot. It was not a well-diagramed play. We got the ball into the hands of the guy we wanted, but he wasn’t open.” “I got lucky that it went in,” Onana said. “I feel good for my team. We got a good win. That’s a game we were waiting for against a really good team so we had to pull it out.” “I was shocked,” Mercyhurst’s Damon Jones, who turned his own big play a couple minutes earlier, said. “That was wild. We needed that. This was a big win because they’re in first place so we needed this.” Lombardi watched from the opposite end of the floor as the shot banked in, not so much in disbelief as resignation. “I guess I was just thinking this game wasn’t meant for us to win,” he said. “I’ve never been involved in a game where someone banks in a 3pointer to win.” So maybe the odds — just like that tilted 3-point shooting — were against IUP from the start. “I tell people all the time, and they think it’s humility when I say we’ve had good fortune, but it’s just honesty, just reality,” Lombardi said. “Sometimes good fortune rolls your way, and sometimes it rolls against you. When you lose on a 3 that’s a banked shot that wasn’t intended to bank, that’s an example. But we probably won some

games that way over the years, but there are a lot of variables in outcomes that affect the game one way or another.” The other key variable in this one was Mercyhurst’s defense. The Lakers employ a 2-3 matchup zone and triangle-and-two defenses. The triangle, which targeted IUP’s Dyer and Devante Chance in man-to-man coverage while the other three defenders played zone, wasn’t effective in holding down the Crimson Hawks’ top two offensive threats, who combined for 38 points. In fact, the zones invite teams to take shots from the perimeter. IUP just had trouble making shots from anywhere, shooting 40 percent overall (18-for-45) and finishing with a season-low five assists. Mercyhurst wasn’t much better overall at 41.9 percent and made only 8 of 23 (25.8 percent) on two-point attempts. IUP led the rebounding by eight, 33-25, and committed 15 turnovers to Mercyhurst’ 12. IUP also played without one of its best 3-point shooters, starting guard Brandon Norfleet, who sat out with a sprained right ankle. “We give up like 35 percent, one of the highest in the league,” Manchel said. “That’s the nature of playing zone, and you make teams beat you from the outside. If we could learn how to rebound with the higher-ups, with Gannon, Slippery Rock and IUP, I think we could be a special team defensively.” The Crimson Hawks did have chances to pull out a win on a night when they shot poorly. They fell behind by eight points, 35-27, early in the second half but rallied to take a 49-47 lead on Dyer’s 3-pointer with 4:18 remaining. After Mercyhurst tied the game at 49 and IUP missed a shot, the Crimson Hawks appeared to keep the game tied by getting a stop on defense, but Mercyhurst’s Jones, a 6-foot-1 guard, flew in from the perimeter, grabbed the rebound in midair and threw the ball up toward the basket.

It fell through. Chance tied the game again with a layup off a steal, but Onana hit a 3pointer on the next possession to set the score at 54-51 with 1:23 left. After Dyer made two free throws, Jones answered with one, and Mercyhurst held a 55-53 lead with 44.2 seconds left. Ugbede tied it on the next possession, setting up Onana’s game-winner. “It’s like that cliché that someone had to lose,” Manchel said. “I thought IUP did a great job of taking everything we threw at them and kept clawing back.” IUP had one final shot at forcing overtime, but the Crimson Hawks had to go the length of the court. Manny Yarde threw a long pass that Tevin Hanner plucked out of the air near the foul line, and he dished a pass to Jeremy Jeffers, who was sprinting down the right side. Jeffers’ pulled up for a 22-footer, a shot that was on line but a little too long as time expired. “They had a great play down the stretch and got a good look at a 3 with a kid that makes 3s,” Manchel said. “It was one of those games I thought both teams played well. I thought they were well-prepared for our triangle. Dyer had 23 and Devante Chance had 15. It’s not like we stopped their top two guys, we just made the last basket.” The loss came on a night when Chance, IUP’s senior point guard, surpassed 1,000 points in his career. “It’s a heck of an individual accomplishment,” Lombardi said, “and it might be cliché, but surely I don’t think it means a whole to him right now with a loss. He’s about winning and whatever comes with winning, but that’s never been a goal of his.” IUP plays at Edinboro on Saturday in a division race that appears to be going to the wire between the Crimson Hawks, Gannon and Mercyhurst. “That’s one team we don’t want to see a third time unless it’s in the finals,” Manchel said. “We’re still on the outside looking in with Gannon and IUP. We just hope they slip up one more time.”

Stamp has sweet homecoming in win

Continued from Page 13 Against the Lakers, IUP led by as many as 33 points and Mercyhurst never put together enough defensive stops to get back into the game. That was welcomed news for IUP, which had won five of the six previous games at Mercyhurst, albeit by a slim margin of only 7.2 points per game. The Crimson Hawks used a quick burst at the start to build a doubledigit lead less than five minutes into the game, and from there the outcome wasn’t ever in doubt. “That’s a credit to our team,” said IUP coach Tom McConnell. “It speaks to their focus and their preparation and their desire to do well. We talk a lot about not living in outside circumstances. It doesn’t matter when (we play), (and) it doesn’t matter where. We can’t let those circumstances affect us playing to the best of our ability. So it was good to do it tonight.” Stamp played the most of any of the five starters. The big early lead — IUP was ahead by 22 points at halftime — allowed some of the bench players to get some playing time, which will be key as the Crimson Hawks come down the home stretch toward the playoffs. “It’s important for us to know what our roles are when we come into the game,” said backup point guard Marina Wareham, who logged 16 minutes, scored eight points, and dished out a team-high three assists. “I know that

coach has told me, ‘When you go in there, bring the energy.’ Lately, that’s what we’ve been doing.” Besides Wareham, a handful of other reserves carried out the game plan of being fast and physical with the Lakers. Brooks, Amy Graham, Megan Smith, Alexis Aiken and Lisa Burton came off the bench to spell the starters, and their contributions didn’t go unnoticed. “It’s a long season,” McConnell said. “We’ve got some good, capable players on this team. When they get in there and make the most of their opportunities, that’s something I really love about this team. ” “We know that down the stretch, it’s anyone’s moment,” Brooks said. “To come into the game and keep that same pace, that’s key.” Brooks said she and the other underclassmen are working hard to make sure the seniors — Burton, Stamp, Ashley Stoner, Marita Mathe and Amy Fairman — have a memorable final season. And to do that, the underclassmen have taken a serious approach to doing their jobs when called upon. “We’re a family,” Brooks said. “We play together. But this is really for them. We want to send them out on the right note. We want to make sure that anything we can accomplish, we do — for them.” The bench players might be called upon to do a little more, though. Fair-

man, the team’s top defender, sat out the entire second half with a knee injury she suffered some time in the opening 20 minutes. McConnell said Fairman will be tested today and that he hopes she’s back soon. “We’ll get it evaluated (today),” he said. “Hopefully it is just a bruise or something.” Having Fairman back healthy would be a boost for a team that has designs on a long playoff run. Last year, the Crimson Hawks won 19 games, a number a lot of programs would be happy with. But now that they have eclipsed last year’s victory total, the 20-win Crimson Hawks want to see how far of a run they can make. And for Stamp, that’s the best part of it all. She’s playing well and so is her team. McConnell said he has noticed how Stamp — and her teammates — have learned to focus on the present. And that’s a big reason why the team has been so successful so far. “When you go back home, you always want to have a good showing,” McConnell said. “You want to play well. You might have a little extra bounce to your step. But I think the longer she’s been at IUP, part of her maturation process is that she’s at peace with where she’s at. It’s not as much of a rivalry game as it once was for her. She wants to do well against them, but that’s not her focus. Her focus is helping the team play well.”

The Indiana Gazette

IHS gets best of old rival Continued from Page 13 practices that and you don’t anticipate a goalie not showing up on time, but I thought we handled it pretty well and got a goal that ended up being crucial.” Schneider entered the game during the celebration of Petro’s goal and held Indiana scoreless for the next 10:38, until Petro struck again. This time Luke Lewandowski won a faceoff in the circle to the left of Schneider, sending the puck floating right in the wheelhouse of Petro, who ripped a wrist shot past Schneider to make the score 2-0. “Those are always the best when you’re working hard and you get rewarded for it,” said Petro. “It’s a great feeling, especially to get a faceoff goal. We work on faceoffs all week in practice and you really just hope to get one.” Peters Township plugged away offensively for the remainder of the first period and several minutes into the second before finally slipping a shot past Indiana goalie Zane McElhenny. Cal Raymore took a feed from Jack Lang and beat McElhenny with a shorthanded goal 6:22 into the second period to make it a 2-1 game. But Petro temporarily halted Peters Township’s momentum just 2:04 later with a nifty shorthanded goal. With a defender in his face on a one-on-one break, Petro flicked a close-range wrist shot that got past Schneider through the five-hole to stretch Indiana’s lead to 3-1. “T.J.’s an offensive threat when he has the puck and a steady defenseman when he doesn’t,” said Indiana coach Dom Glavach. “What he does to the opposing team is cause them to pay attention to where he’s at. If you have to keep track of him that means four other guys are open, and T.J. also does a nice job of moving the puck.” Peters Township’s forwards came out swarming Indiana’s net relentlessly in the third period, and the hard work paid off when Connor Gielarowski drove a rebound of a Samuel Madler shot past a diving McElhenny to cut Indiana’s lead to 3-2 with 7:42 to go. Just 2:33 later, Raymore stole the puck from Petro behind Indiana’s net and quickly sent a centering feed in the direction of Gielarowski, who wristed a shot through McElhenny’s five-hole to tie the game, 3-3. McElhenny made an impressive save on a two-onone shot from Jake Majestic to prevent Peters Township from taking a lead with 1:50 left in the third. “It’s a game of momentum,” said Glavach. “We had a great first period, but as the game progressed we lost a little bit of the hop and lost a little bit of the step, and Peters Township gained the momentum.” Indiana came out looking reenergized in overtime, pressuring Schneider from the opening whistle and keeping the puck in the Peters Township zone for long stretches. Indiana found its payoff in the midst of scrum behind the net when Lewandowski broke free with the puck and slid a centering feed to Barker, who snapped a wrist shot over the glove hand of Schneider for the game-winning goal with 1:07 left in overtime. “On plays like that I just try to get it off as quick as I can,” said Barker. “I like a quick shot there because it surprises the goalie. I just got it off quickly and put it in the right spot, and it went in.” “The trouble with scholastic sports is it’s all about who carries the momentum and really who can take advantage of it when they have it,” added Glavach. “We weren’t able to do that tonight and we let it slip away, but we were able to take advantage in overtime and really put the game away.” McElhenny made 30 saves, and Schneider had 31.

PITTSBURGH’S BLAKE COMEAU celebrated after scoring on Detroit Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek during Wednesday’s game in Pittsburgh.

Pens cool hot Wings Continued from Page 13 Namely keep the pressure on the Red Wings. Detroit came in as the hottest team in the league, going 9-1 in its previous 10 games. The Red Wings were never really in it. The rejuvenated second line of Hornqvist, Comeau and Evgeni Malkin — all of whom came off the injured list in the last 10 days — provided an early boost the Penguins rode through three one-sided periods. “(Malkin’s) line was really buzzing,” Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. “I think just to kind of get everyone into it, get that pace, get that momentum, a lead is always nice too, but we finally have everyone in the lineup and we have to build now.” David Perron and Nick Spaling also scored for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 23 shots to earn his fourth win in his last five starts. Stephen Weiss picked up his seventh goal for the Red Wings, but Detroit couldn’t keep pace. Mrazek made 13 saves on just 17 shots and was pulled after the second period. “A little humble pie for us tonight, we got our lunch fed to us and they were better,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “Obviously, we’ve got to

be a lot better. We can’t be proud of our effort tonight.” Pittsburgh rebounded quickly from a listless 5-0 loss to Vancouver at the end of a three-game road swing. Buoyed by an early lead, Fleury was crisp while improving to 11-1-2 against Atlantic Division opponents. His career-best shutout streak ended at 165:06 when Weiss scored more than midway through the game, but by then the Penguins were in firm control. The Red Wings have surged since Jan. 1 even with starting goaltender Jimmy Howard sidelined for a month with a groin injury. Howard wasn’t expected to return until Saturday night against Winnipeg, but made an appearance in the third after two ineffective periods by the 22-year-old Mrazek, whose brilliant play has sparked Detroit’s rapid ascension. It disappeared against the Penguins, who have spent most of the last two months scuffling along while competing with an ever evolving lineup that finally appears to be getting healthy. Comeau made an immediate impact. He slipped a pass to Kris Letang, whose slap shot went wide but smacked off the end boards and onto Hornqvist’s stick at the side of the net.

Hornqvist roofed it by Mrazek and the Penguins were in front. Comeau doubled Pittsburgh’s lead midway in the first. Hornqvist stripped the puck from Luke Glendening behind the Detroit net and fed to Comeau in the slot for a snap shot Mrazek couldn’t corral. Perron’s 14th goal of the year — and ninth since joining the Penguins on Jan. 2 — was nearly a carbon copy. Maxim Lapierre took advantage of a giveaway deep in the Red Wings’ end and hit Perron streaking in front. When Spaling deflected Rob Scuderi’s shot from the point 7:52 into the second period, the Penguins were up 4-0 and in firm control. “We were the ones making the turnovers,” Detroit’s Henrik Zetterberg said. “We didn’t have enough speed. We put ourselves in situations where we were forced to make a play instead of keep it simple and sometimes that happens. We just have to move on.” NOTES: Crosby was held without a point in his 600th career game. Crosby is the eighth player in franchise history to play 600 games with the club. ... Howard stopped all four shots in the third period. ... The Penguins play at Ottawa tonight.

Canucks win in overtime By The Associated Press

Daniel Sedin scored his second goal at 1:20 of overtime, and the Vancouver Canucks recovered after blowing a late two-goal lead, beating the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Wednesday night. Henrik Sedin made a great pass to his brother in the middle of the ice, and Daniel pushed it into the open left side of the net for his 13th of the season. He also scored in the third period to give Vancouver a 4-2 lead with 4:37 remaining. Patrick Kane had a goal and two assists for Chicago, which looked listless for much of the night, and then

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns general manager Ray Farmer may still be in trouble with the NFL. However, his boss has his back. Owner Jimmy Haslam said he’s given his “full support” to Farmer, who is at the center of a league investigation for sending text messages to the sideline during games. Meeting for 50 minutes with select media members, Haslam said he has no plans to fire Farmer, adding that the GM has told the team he made a mistake in sending the texts, a violation of league rules. The Browns face suspensions, fines and the possible loss of draft picks because of Farmer’s actions, confirmed for the first time by Haslam. The league has yet to announce any punishments from its probe. • IRVING, Texas (AP) — Monte Kiffin won’t return to the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff a year after he was demoted from the defensive coordinator job. A person with knowledge of the decision said that Kiffin, the assistant head coach under Jason Garrett last season, wouldn’t return. Kiffin, who turns 75 later this month, wasn’t under contract for next season. He came in as defensive coordinator in 2013 to implement a scheme change to a four-man front after Dallas spent nearly a decade with a three-man line and four linebackers. Rod Marinelli joined the staff along with Kiffin and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2014 after the Cowboys had one of the worst seasons statistically in NFL history.

Woods’ game is ‘not acceptable’ PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods said his game is “not acceptable” to compete in tournaments and he will return when he thinks it is. Hopeful of having injuries behind him, Woods made a horrific start to the new year. He shot a career-high 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open to miss the cut by 12 shots. And then he withdrew after 11 holes of ordinary golf at Torrey Pines because of tightness in his back from a fog delay. Woods said on his website the last two weeks have been disappointing, especially at Torrey Pines, where he is an eight-time winner. He said he never wants to withdraw, but recent injuries have allowed that to happen too often. Woods is not playing Pebble Beach or Riviera, and said he would practice next week at his home and at The Medalist “getting ready for the rest of the year.”

Thompson, Harden named starters MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson and Houston Rockets guard James Harden were named starters for the Western Conference All-Star team. Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who will coach the team on Sunday in New York, made the announcement on Wednesday night. Thompson and Harden will replace the injured Kobe Bryant and Blake Griffin, who were voted in as starters by the fans. Thompson is averaging 22.1 points and shooting 44 percent from 3-point range for the Warriors. Harden is leading the league in scoring at 27.7 points per game. The West also had one more open spot in the starting lineup after Pelicans forward Anthony Davis pulled out with a strained right shoulder. Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki was named to replace him on the team and Kerr will set the starting lineup.

Marlins to host 2017 All-Star game MIAMI (AP) — The Marlins’ wait to host an All-Star Game will end in the franchise’s 25th season. Miami has been awarded the 2017 game, and an announcement by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is planned for this week at Marlins Park, a person familiar with the decision said Wednesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the decision, first reported by The Miami Herald, had not been announced. The Marlins started play in 1993 and two years later were awarded the 2000 All-Star Game at Pro Player Stadium. After ownership dismantled the roster of the team’s 1997 World Series champions, Major League Baseball took away the game in 1998 and awarded it to Atlanta’s Turner Field.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the price of a pound of ground beef climbed to another record high in November, to a whopping $4.20 per pound. And that’s for midgrade, not the leanest and highest quality. If you and your family are not ready to turn vegetarian nor prepared to pay that much for Email a pound questions or for tips to mediocre mary@every ground daycheap beef, you skate.com or do have Everyday another Cheapskate, option: P.O. Box 2135, Get creParamount, ative. OK, CA 90723. maybe a little bit sneaky, too. But first, let’s talk turkey. I mean, ground beef. The really lean option of ground beef, 90/10, is not easy to prepare well. That’s because there’s not enough fat in it to turn out juicy, delicious fare. Lean ground beef requires seasoning as well as careful cooking. Let’s say that you, like I, prefer organic, lean ground beef. Yesterday I paid $4.22 per pound for the best quality at Costco. Yikes! But I don’t really pay that. My effective cost is more like $2.80 per pound. How? Please don’t tell a soul ... I stretch it. I take the best quality ground beef and then “extend” it by at least one-third. So whatever the price in the store, I mentally reduce it by 33 percent to get my effective cost. STRETCHING: Sounds horrible, I know. But it’s not. By mixing something in with the ground beef to make it go farther, I get results that are so much better than the beef alone. I’m always doctoring, seasoning, adding this or that depending on what I’m making. Take meatloaf, for example. I wouldn’t be surprised if just the word “meatloaf” makes you respond with a resounding “Yuck!” That’s because a brick of ground beef stuck in the oven with a little salt and pepper is going to turn out dry as shoe leather, and about as tasty. But take that same amount of ground beef and mix it with a few, wellchosen ingredients, and then bake it up or put it on the grill. You are going to be amazed. Even your children are going to say it’s great and ask you to do that again. And again. Just don’t be so anxious to tell your secrets. There’s something about adding stuff to ground beef that grosses people out. More ways to stretch the beef: RICE: When browning ground beef for anything like tacos, chili or sloppy Joes, add one cup of cooked rice for every pound of meat, just after draining the grease. Your family will never know. The rice (brown or white) takes the seasoning very well and visually, looks like it is all ground beef. POTATO: Add grated potato or dry potato flakes to hamburger meat for any Mexican dish like tacos or chili. BULGAR WHEAT: Cook it first in water, and then add to any recipe calling for ground beef and tomato sauce, reducing the amount of ground beef you use to accommodate the addition of the bulgur wheat. PUREED VEGETABLES: Roast them first, and then puree in the food processor or blender. Add one cup per pound of ground beef. FILLERS: Add one half cup of precooked lentils, kasha, quinoa or groundup beans to the raw ground beef. Now cook it just as if you would if it were all ground beef. STALE BREAD: Tear it up into little bits. Add an egg and spices to make meatballs and burgers.

Five myths and truths about kids’ Internet safety By CAROLINE KNORR Common Sense Media

If you believe everything you hear about kids online, you might think pedophiles and cyberbullies are around every cyber-corner. Yes, there is bad stuff out there. But the truth is, there’s a lot of good, and some experts are arguing against a “techno-panic mindset” that worries parents unnecessarily. The bottom line is that we can’t keep our kids safe if we don’t know the facts. Here are the five most popular myths about Internet safety — and the truths that can set your worries free. MYTH: Social media turns kids into cyberbullies. TRUTH: There are many reasons why a kid might cyberbully, and social media is just a convenient way to do the dirty work. The reality is that kids who engage in this behavior typically have something else going on that compels them to act out. They might be in crisis — at home, at school, or otherwise socially. They may also be bullying in person, or they may have an underdeveloped sense of empathy. Awareness of a cyberbully’s circumstances — though not excusing the behavior — can help parents and educators recognize the warning signs and potentially intervene before it goes too far. MYTH: Teaching kids not to talk to strangers is the best way to keep them safe online. TRUTH: Teaching kids to recognize predatory behavior will help them avoid unwelcome advances. In today’s world, where kids as young as 8 are interacting with people online, they need to know the boundary between appropriate and inappropriate conversation. So go beyond “stranger danger” and teach them what kinds of questions are not OK (for example, not OK: “Are you a boy or a girl?”; “Where do you live?”; “What are you wearing?”; “Do you want to have a private conversation?”). Also, teach kids to not go looking for thrills online. Risky online relationships more frequently evolve in chat rooms when

teens willingly seek out or engage in sexual conversation. MYTH: Kids act worse online. TRUTH: Most kids say that their peers are nice to each other online. Newsflash: Most kids want to have fun, hang out and socialize normally online — and in fact, according to the Pew Research Internet Project, that’s what the majority is doing. Check out these comforting stats: • 65 percent of social media-using teens say they personally have had an experience on a social-networking site that made them feel good about themselves. • 58 percent say they felt closer to another person because of an experience on a social-networking site. • 80 percent of teens who’ve witnessed mean and cruel behavior on a socialnetworking site have come to the defense of a targeted friend. And how about the kids who’ve fought cyberbullying and used the Internet for a social cause? More and more, kids are harnessing the power of the online world — and busting up a few myths along the way. MYTH: It’s dangerous to post pictures of your kids online. TRUTH: If you use privacy settings, limit your audience, and don’t ID your kids, it’s pretty safe. There are two kinds of parents: those who love posting pics of their kids and those who think it’s asking for trouble. Although it’s true that posting anything online invites some risks, there are ways to limit them if you’re smart about how you do it. • Use privacy settings. Make sure your privacy settings are set so only the closest people in your network can view your posts. • Limit your audience. Only share posts with close family and friends. Or use photo-sharing sites such as Picasa and Flickr that require a log-in to see pics. • Don’t rush your kids into social media. Obey the rules about keeping kids younger than 13 off social media. Once your kids have an on-

line profile, they can be tagged in photos, which magnifies their online presence. If you’re going to upload photos of them, don’t identify them and don’t tag them — that way the photo can’t be traced back to them. MYTH: Parental controls are the best way to monitor my kids’ online activities. TRUTH: Focusing on only one Internet safety method lulls you into a false sense of security. To keep your kids safe online — and to raise them to be responsible, respectful digital citizens — it takes more than installing parental controls. For starters, parental controls can be defeated by determined kids. They also often catch too much in their filters, rendering any Internet search useless, and they set up a “parent vs. kid” dynamic that could backfire. By all means, use parental controls to help prevent exposure to age-inappropriate material and to manage time limits. But don’t think they get you off the hook. Continue to discuss responsible, respectful online behavior, set rules and consequences for misbehavior, and train your kid to manage his or her own usage. Looking for more information and advice about keeping kids safe online? Go to w w w. c o m m o n s e n s e. o r g /privacy-and-internet-safety QUESTION: What’s the right age for my kid to start going online? ANSWER: The age they begin is entirely up to you. Lots of kids start playing around online during the preschool years, but many parents wait until kids are in elementary school to get them started. Whatever you choose, these guidelines will give you and your kid a good beginning: • Sit with little kids — at least at first — so you can explain what they see. • Find age-appropriate sites with high learning potential. • Put a time limit on your sessions (instill the idea of balance early). • Avoid just-before-bed computer time. It can be stimulating and interrupt sleep.

Da Vinci or not? Authenticity of painting still in dispute By COLLEEN BARRY Associated Press

MILAN — Assertions that an eminent scholar had authenticated a portrait by Leonardo da Vinci tantalized art lovers with the prospect of a new masterpiece and inflated a backroom bidding war worth tens of millions of euros. Only Carlo Pedretti, longtime director of the Leonardo center at the University of California, Los Angeles, said Wednesday that he drew no such conclusion. “I never attributed this painting to Leonardo,” Pedretti told The Associated Press by telephone from Tuscany. “I only said it merited more study.” The oil-on-canvas painting of noblewoman Isabella D’Este was seized this week in Switzerland under an Italian probe into whether the painting had been illegally expatriated. Financial police said in a release announcing the seizure on Tuesday that the work had been attributed to Leonardo by Pedretti — an assertion also made in an Italian magazine cover story in 2013 that tantalized Leonardo admirers with the possibility of a new masterpiece. Police also noted that the work’s market value had been driven up from a starting price of 95 million euros (about $1.17 million) when they first discovered the painting’s existence in 2013,

Associated Press

THE PAINTING “Ritratto di Isabella d’Este” is valued at $107 million. to 120 million euros when they finally located it in the vault of a private Swiss bank last summer. Pedretti said he viewed the painting several years ago in Switzerland after being contacted by a lawyer representing the owners. He wrote a letter expressing promising elements, including the treatment of the noblewoman’s face, but recommending that they pursue further tests without publicizing the find. “It is mistaken to say I recognized the work. I recognized it as a document important for the study of Leonardo, as a scholar,” Pedretti said. Pedretti is convinced the painting is old, and quite

likely from Leonardo’s lifetime, with some details like a palm frond and wheel clearly added much later, adorning the noblewoman in symbols of St. Catherine. But he said that before making a declaration of authenticity, “I would want to consult with my colleagues in England, France and the United States. That would be the correct procedure.” Alessandro Vezzosi, director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci, said Pedretti’s name has been falsely associated with a claim he never made — which has demonstrably driven a bidding war. “There is a substantial difference between tens of thousands and tens of millions of euros,” he said. While Vezzosi said he doesn’t see Leonardo’s hand in the work, it is possible “that underneath there are surprises, perhaps a drawing by Leonardo.” A drawing in the Louvre of Isabella D’Este demonstrates Leonardo’s association with the portrait’s subject. And Pedretti doesn’t rule out that Leonardo may have contributed to the portrait, but said even if Leonardo began the work, it was likely to have been finished by a student. “Leonardo was very interested in his personal research and studies in mechanics and physics. He didn’t have time to stay and work on a painting,” Pedretti said.

Musical tells ‘Duck’ family’s tale By KIMBERLY PIERCEALL Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — It’s all seemed like one big unlikely mashup: the Deep South, God-fearing family of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” turning their tale into a song and dance musical on stage in Sin City. Even Broadway producer Michael David has been on the receiving end of inevitable surprise and, sometimes, concern when people learned of his involvement in the “Duck Commander Musical.” What were thespian bluestaters doing getting involved with duck-hunting entrepreneurs from a decidedly red state? Especially duck-hunting entrepreneurs whose patriarch has been quoted vilifying homosexual behavior. “If theater people are storytellers, God knows we don’t only tell stories about people we agree with,” David said. The man behind the musical “Jersey Boys,” his Dodgers Theatricals group and music executive Tommy Mottola teamed up with the “Ducks” to bridge two worlds. There certainly will be beards. And the usual family antics seen on the show. But there will be no do-si-doing around any of the controversy involving the family on “Duck Dynasty,” cable’s highest-rated reality show. The good, the bad and the in-between are all said to be part of the 90-minute retelling of the Robertson

family’s rags-to-riches story, performed in a 680-seat theater inside the Rio hotel and casino starting April 15. The musical will feature actors playing the Robertsons. It’s based on the 2012 book by Willie Robertson and wife, Korie, titled “The Duck Commander Family: How Faith, Family, and Ducks Built a Dynasty.” “If we do it right,” the show will be foot-stomping fun, but insightful and moving too, David said. The improbable involvements all started with Willie Robertson’s agent, who saw a Broadway tale in his book and linked up Willie with a few of her other clients — Broadway composers and lyricists Robert

and Steven Morris and Joe Shane. David and Mottola had wanted to work with the composing team, which was behind the musical “White Noise,” whatever their next project may be. “Who knew this was the answer? This was not exactly what we expected,” David said of learning the “Duck Commander Musical” was next in line. The Robertson family’s public image has suffered since patriarch Phil Robertson commented about homosexuality and sin in an early 2014 magazine profile, and occasionally since, leading to a backlash and brief suspension of their popular TV program.

NEW YORK — It’s not that often that Hugh Jackman gets a role speaking in his native Australian English, so while working on the upcoming sci-fi thriller “Chappie” he had to get reacquainted with the dialect. The 46-year-old Tony Award winner told The Associated Press on Tuesday that using his own accent “was great but weird.” “I had to practice it because it was way stronger than my natural accent,” Jackman said. Jackman also admits brushing up on some of the Australian slang that writerdirector Neill Blomkamp wrote for the part. “He used a lot of phrases, and I had to end up Googling the slang,” Jackman said. “Neill was coming up with some really cool sayings. ... I was trying to think of more, so I ended up Googling some of them.” “Chappie,” which opens in theaters on March 6, tells the story of a fallen police robot that is reprogrammed to think and feel for itself. Jackman said he had fun playing the film’s antagonist, an engineer strongly opposed to artificial intelligence. “We got to create this character that did stretch it a bit. We had a lot of fun with

At the same time, it was very much based in a reality that was needed for the movie in terms of the voice of caution,” Jackman said. Blomkamp is known for his sci-fi thrillers “District 9” and “Elysium.” The last time Jackman appeared in a film using his native accent was in “Australia” in 2008, opposite Nicole Kidman. He did lend his voice to the 2012 animated film

“Rise of the Guardians.” Jackman, who just finished a Broadway run in the Jez Butterworth play “The River,” says he will hit the stage again next month. “My one-man show I did here on Broadway a few years back, I’m going to do in Turkey. I’m very excited about that,” he said. He added: “It should be fun. We’ll see how the Turks like it.” Online: http://www.chap pie-movie.com

Will Williams get a second chance? By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — In handing Brian Williams a six-month suspension for misleading viewers, NBC Universal chief Steve Burke says his chief anchor deserves a second chance. Whether he actually gets one is an open question. Time is renowned for its healing powers but in this case, time also offers reasons for the split to become permanent. NBC Universal bought time with the suspension, hoping to remove an unflattering spotlight on its most prominent personality after he falsely reported flying in a helicopter hit by an enemy grenade in the Iraq War. Veteran Lester Holt will fill in. With “Nightly News” atop the ratings for almost all of Williams’ decade-long tenure as its lead anchor — and back into the 1990s with Tom Brokaw — Holt will be watched closely to see if he can maintain that lead. If he

can, that may lessen NBC’s desire to bring back a more costly anchor with doubts cast on his trustworthiness. ABC in the past year maintained and even improved its “World News Tonight” ratings after replacing wellknown anchor Diane Sawyer with David Muir. That indicates viewers care more about the content of the broadcasts than its anchors, said Andrew Tyndall, a consultant who monitors the evening newscasts. “Not only is (Williams) dispensable, the business model is wrong,” he said. Even with the suspension, NBC has kept open its investigation into Williams’ tendency to embellish stories of his work experiences. NBC News President Deborah Turness said that NBC Universal’s general counsel has joined investigative editor Richard Esposito in the probe. Some critics believe Williams is already so ethically compromised that it

would be difficult for him to work an election campaign, whether viewers would accept him asking a presidential candidate, for example, to account for conflicting statements on an issue. “The suspension so wounds him,” said Frank Sesno, a George Washington University professor and former CNN Washington bureau chief. “If the offense is sufficiently severe to warrant a six-month suspension, how does one recover stature and credibility?” Williams has declined to comment on his suspension, and the head-spinning aspect of his fall from grace may have precluded him from thinking about his future. He may decide he doesn’t want to continue in his present role, or at NBC, with the six months offering him and NBC Universal a chance to negotiate a settlement. Williams’ hiring as chief anchor predates Comcast’s takeover of NBC Universal, which would leave some

question about the loyalty of its executives toward him. Embarrassing headlines about NBC News also aren’t welcome at a time Comcast Corp. is still seeking federal approval of its purchase of Time Warner Cable. With all these caveats, and the strong words of Williams’ bosses about his wrongdoing, a clear pathway back was publicly offered. “I know Brian loves his country, NBC News and his colleagues,” Burke said. “He deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him. Brian has shared his deep remorse with me and he is committed to winning back everyone’s trust.” Comeback stories are popular, as are stories about the downfall of powerful people. Williams’ explanation of misremembering some facts ignited online ridicule of him. A more humble apology, admitting he fudged a story to make himself look good, may strike viewers as more believable.

Couple tries to pretend all is well with marriage DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Mason,” and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter and have just found out we are having another girl. The day we learned her gender, Mason dropped a bomb on me. Dear Abby is He said written by he’s not in Abigail Van love with Buren, also me anyknown as more, and it Jeanne has been Phillips, and eating at was founded by her mother, him for a while. Pauline He said Phillips. he was too scared to tell me sooner. He won’t talk to anyone and doesn’t seem to want to fix it. We both came from

DEAR ABBY

broken homes and had always agreed not to do that to our kids. But I can’t act like everything is normal under the same roof. He says he’ll stay at his brother’s place at night after our daughter goes to sleep. He’s at work before she’s up for school anyway. We agreed that if she wakes up at night and calls out for him, I should tell her he got “called in to work.” Please give me some advice. — BROKEN IN NEVADA DEAR BROKEN: By the age of 7, your daughter is old enough to recognize tension between her parents. She is also aware enough to comprehend that her father is no longer living there if he’s spending his nights elsewhere, particularly if he intends to carry on this charade for any length of time. You say your husband “won’t talk to anyone,” but he owes you some straight answers. If he hasn’t been in love with you “for a while,” he shouldn’t have fathered a second child with you. Would his feelings be dif-

ferent if the baby you’re carrying was a boy? Could there be another woman involved? Your husband owes it to you and those children to act responsibly and at least try to save his marriage. Running away is not the answer. In the meantime, my advice is to talk to a lawyer and take your cues from her or him about protecting yourself and your children financially. Doing so does not mean you “must” file divorce papers, but you will have someone who isn’t emotionally involved looking out for your interests. DEAR ABBY: What should a single, straight woman do if she is attracted to and interested in a man she is “pretty sure” is gay? What should she do in the same situation if he is openly gay? Should she ignore her feelings? Tell him? — ATTRACTED TO HIM IN WASHINGTON DEAR ATTRACTED: If the woman tells her gay friend how she feels, he may be flattered, or it may make him uncomfortable. That’s the

risk she takes. As to whether she should ignore her feelings, if she wants a romantic partner who can reciprocate her physical attraction, she will have to concentrate on finding someone who is straight. Trust me on that. DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine, “Fran,” died nine years ago. Prior to her death, I had little interaction with her husband, “Dexter.” As a matter of fact, when I met Fran, she was divorced, but she and Dexter reunited. Dexter and I are now in love and are planning to marry. He is 66 and I am 61. A lot of people feel it is wrong for us to be together. Your thoughts, please? — GOING FOR HAPPINESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GOING: “A lot of people” are unhappy in their lives and judgmental. They sometimes poke their noses into matters that are none of their business. If you and Dexter want to be happy, avoid the naysayers as if they have a virus — because the kind of ill will they spread is contagious.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Feb. 12, the 43rd day of 2015. There are 322 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was born in present-day Larue County, Ky. On this date: In 1554, Lady Jane Grey, who’d claimed the throne of England for nine days, and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were beheaded after being condemned for high treason. In 1818, Chile officially proclaimed its independence, more than seven years after initially renouncing Spanish rule. In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded. In 1914, groundbreaking took place for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1915, the cornerstone was laid for the Lincoln Memorial. In 1924, George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” premiered in New York. In 1940, the radio play “The Adventures of Superman” debuted with Bud Collyer as the Man of Steel. In 1959, the redesigned Lincoln penny — with an image of the Lincoln Memorial replacing two ears of wheat on the reverse side — went into circulation. In 1963, a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 720 broke up during severe turbulence and crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all 43 people aboard. In 1973, Operation Homecoming began as the first release of American prisoners of war from the Vietnam conflict took place. In 1995, Iron Butterfly bass player Philip “Taylor” Kramer disappeared; four years later, his skeletal remains were found inside his wrecked minivan in a ravine near Malibu, Calif. In 1999, the Senate voted to acquit President Bill Clinton of perjury and obstruction of justice. Ten years ago: Former presidential candidate Howard Dean was elected national Democratic chair-

man during the party’s winter meeting. “The Gates,” a 16-day art exhibit created by Christo and JeanneClaude, debuted in New York’s Central Park with the unfurling of saffron-colored fabric banners suspended from 16-foot-high frames. Five years ago: On the day the Winter Olympics opened in Vancouver, British Columbia, Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21-yearold luger from the republic of Georgia, was killed in a high-speed crash during a practice run. Three University of Alabama-Huntsville professors were gunned down during a faculty meeting; police charged neurobiologist Amy Bishop with capital murder. (Bishop later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.) One year ago: Legislation to raise the U.S. federal debt limit and prevent a crippling government default cleared Congress. Today’s Birthdays: Movie director Franco Zeffirelli is 92.

NOTICE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE AN AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL 03-00027E: GenOn Northeast Management Company (121 Champion Way, Suite 200, Canonsburg, PA 15317) Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 PA Code §§ 127.44-46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-03-00027E to allow the construction of a truck coal receiving area at the Keystone Generating Station located in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County. The truck coal receiving area will be to enhance the overall coal receiving and blending capabilities at Keystone, allowing up to 1,000,000 tons of coal to be delivered by truck. It will be located within the existing permitted area at Keystone adjacent to the existing rail coal receiving area and near the existing limited truck coal receiving area. New and modified air contamination sources include increases to plant roadway vehicle traffic, coal delivery by truck to feeders or storage zones, feeder conveyors, a new collection conveyor, extension of an existing conveyor, and miscellaneous associated transfer points. This plan approval does not authorize any increase to the permitted heat input to the electric generating units and there is no projected change in emissions from those units. Best available technology (BAT) for coal delivery by truck is delivery by covered trucks, paving of delivery roadways, and a roadway dust control plan which includes sweeping and watering as necessary. BAT for feeders and storage zone is partial enclosure by wind barriers and watering as necessary. BAT for conveyors and transfer points is partial enclosure with a minimum coal moisture content of 5% to full or underground enclosure. This authorization is subject to state regulations including 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1, 123.2, 123.31, and 123.41. These limitations are applicable facility-wide and already included in Keystone’s Title V Operating Permit (TVOP). Plan approval conditions will include rolling 12-month limits on coal delivery by truck, work practice requirements consistent with the Department’s BAT determinations, and associated recordkeeping requirements. Facility-wide reporting and monitoring requirements already included in Keystone’s TVOP will encompass the new sources. Potential emissions from this project are calculated to be 8.56 tons of particulate matter (PM), 2.21 tons of particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), and 0.95 tons of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) per year. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently submit either a revision to its pending TVOP application or a TVOP administrative amendment application in accordance with Pa. Code Title 25 Subchapters F and G. A person may oppose the proposed plan approval by filing a written protest with the DEP through Alan Binder, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Requests for a hearing and additional written comments may also be submitted. Each protest, request for hearing, or set of written comments must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-03-00027E) and a concise statement of the objections to the plan approval issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in it discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. All comments must be received prior to the close of business 30 days after the date of this publication. 2/12, 2/13, 2/14

WHAT IS THE KEY TO COMMUNIICATION? Joseph Priestley, an English chemist, political theorist and clergyman who some believe discovered oxygen, said, “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Priestly died in 1804, but that is still true today if we append “face to face.” Communication in bridge is twofold. During the bidding, each player is trying to describe his hand to his partner. In the play, it is the ability to get from one hand to another.

How does South communicate to that declarer is known not to have four spades, there is a strong case for East’s playing his king at trick one.) Declarer has only six top tricks: one spade, one diamond and four clubs. If he plays on hearts, here he will lose four spades and one heart. Instead, South should try to gain four diamond tricks. This requires not only finding East with the diamond king, but also perhaps having to take that finesse three times. If so, what are the three dummy entries? After winning the first or second spade trick, declarer should cash his club ace, then lead the club seven over to dummy’s queen. On the board for the first time, South takes a diamond finesse. Next, since the clubs broke 3-2, declarer must overtake his club jack with dummy’s king and repeat the diamond finesse. Finally, he leads his carefully conserved club two to dummy’s four and takes the third diamond finesse to bring home the contract. COPYRIGHT: 2015, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

ASTROGRAPH ❂✵✪ ❂ Your Birthday FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2015 by Eugenia Last Procrastinating over financial, legal or health issues will slow you down. Take care of unfinished business before time becomes an issue. Simplify your life by alleviating any problems before they have a chance to spin out of control. Your timing will be essential if you want to get ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — Think twice before reviving an old idea, friendship or hobby. If you are unsure, take a walk down memory lane and relive a past experience that left you confused. PISCES (Feb. 20March 20) — Following your heart will lead to a poor choice. Resentment will grow if you try to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Put your needs first. ARIES (March 21April 19) — Get active. Unless you speak up and take action, no one will know what you want or what you can do. Avoid being overlooked by stepping up and showing everyone your strengths. TAURUS (April 20May 20) — The benefits of networking should not be overlooked. Get in touch with well-connected people who can show you the most promising direction. Offer a favor to receive a favor. GEMINI (May 21June 20) — Make a positive impression that accurately portrays what you have to offer. If you embellish the truth, you will ruin your chance to get ahead, as well as leave a negative impression. CANCER (June 21July 22) — A romantic evening will intensify an important

relationship. Be aggressive, but stick to the rules and regulations on your quest to get ahead. Don’t let others slow you down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Spend time with people who challenge you mentally and physically. You will find it impossible to turn down an opportunity to travel. A romantic liaison will heat up. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22) — A financial deal will reduce your cash flow, but the longterm benefits will be worth your while. A difference of opinion with a loved one or colleague will escalate into a major feud if you aren’t willing to compromise. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23) — Shortcuts will end up costing you. A lofty sales pitch will not deliver what it promises. Carefully think your steps through before making a major decision. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 22) — Follow your heart. Attentiveness to home and family will cement your bond with the people who mean the most to you. Make changes that promote comfort and convenience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You can’t run from emotional matters indefinitely. Face the inevitable, and instigate a conversation that will straighten out any misunderstanding or disagreement you are faced with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You are stronger than you think. Don’t be threatened by someone trying to push you into something that you don’t want to do. Stand by your beliefs and you will come out on top. COPYRIGHT 2015 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
