Three charged in double homicide

and Catherine Hullenbaugh, 21, of Saltsburg Road, Clarksburg, were lodged along with Exum at Indiana County Jail.

Menta and Hullenbaugh sobbed and Menta pulled her hooded sweatshirt up over her face when police escorted them into the Indiana District Court for preliminary arraignment hearings just after 9 a.m. today.

Exum, shirtless and wearing nylon shorts, mumbled responses to reporters’ questions as he was taken into court.

A third woman identified in court papers as Morisha Moore Bey has not been charged in the case.

Each suspect is charged with two counts of criminal homicide. Exum also is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a controlled substance.

Additionally, police charged Menta and Hullen-

Three suspects have been arrested in the shooting deaths of two men during an argument police said stemmed from a drug deal late Tuesday in the Essex House Apartments complex near the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus.

Police said George Exum, 21, an IUP student from Norristown, Montgomery County, fatally shot Shawn Jaquet Richardson, whose address was not provided by police, and a man known only as “Menace” just before 11:45 p.m. in Exum’s apartment.

Three women had accompanied Richardson and “Menace” to the apartment, and two of them have also been charged with homicide.

Trump adds two states, Sanders one

By STEVE PEOPLES and ERICA WERNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and Republican Party leaders are confronting an uncomfortable new reality: They may not like each other, but they may need each other.

That’s forcing an awkward reckoning on both sides as GOP lawmakers struggle to make peace with the divisive billionaire as their presidential standard-bearer, and Trump’s team seeks to bulk up its unconventional campaign with the party’s organizational prowess.

The New York real estate mogul claimed two more Republican primary victories Tuesday, in West Virginia and Nebraska, contests where he was virtually unopposed given that his Republican rivals dropped out a week ago.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders also won in West Virginia.

Democrats did not vote Tuesday in Nebraska.

“As we turn our focus toward the general election, we want to make sure there’s the strongest partnership,” Republican National Committee chief strategist Sean Spicer said of Trump.

Obama visit to Hiroshima to stress future, not past

DONALD TRUMP

WASHINGTON — Eager to heal old wounds and galvanize new generations, President Barack Obama this month will become the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima, where seven decades ago the U.S. dropped the devastating atomic bomb that ushered in the nuclear age.

By visiting the peace park near the epicenter of the 1945 attack, the president

Indeed, both sides say they will move forward in a “partnership,” even as some top Republican leaders and donors continue to resist Trump’s candidacy.

The New York businessman has largely ignored collecting information on voters he needs to turn out in November, dispatched very few staff to battleground states and taken no steps to build a fundraising network. Trump told The Associated Press in a Tuesday interview he would not rely on public financing, a decision that forces him to quickly assemble a donor network capable of raising the estimated $1 billion needed to run a modern presidential campaign. It is a task that previous campaigns took several months to complete, likely pushing him to rely on the RNC’s extensive donor network.

“There are many ways that they could work together,” said Alabama Sen. Jeff Continued on Page 14

hopes to reinvigorate efforts worldwide to eliminate nuclear weapons. But in a sign of the extraordinary political sensitivities attached to the gesture, the White House is going out of its way to stress Obama will not come bearing an apology.

Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said flatly: “He will not revisit the decision to use the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.” Instead, Rhodes said in a statement, Obama

will spotlight the toll of war and offer a “forward-looking vision” of a non-nuclear world.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who will accompany Obama on the visit, said no apology is expected — or necessary.

“The prime minister of the world’s only nation to have suffered atomic attacks, and the leader of the world’s only nation to have used the atomic weapons at war will together pay reContinued on Page 14

Winter death rate jumps for bees

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — After two years of improvement, America’s honeybees had another tough and deadly winter, probably because of mites, according to a new federal survey released Tuesday.

The annual survey of beekeepers showed the

winter colony loss rate was 28 percent, up from 22 percent. That’s about average over the past decade but higher than the 17 percent that beekeepers call acceptable.

But it is still lower than the peak rate of 36 percent nine years ago.

“They continue not to do well and we really need to double our efforts to figure

out why,” University of Maryland bee scientist and survey leader Dennis vanEngelsdorp said. “Now you’re losing well beyond what’s normal.”

The figures come from a survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and others. It includes 5,756 beekeepers, which represent about 5 percent of the Continued on Page 14

Torrance Hospital finds patient DERRY (AP) — State police said a patient who escaped from a Pennsylvania mental hospital has been found.

Trooper Stephen Limani said Muhammad Moore, 33, was found by Torrance State Hospital staff on Tuesday. Limani announced that shortly after noon and said Moore escaped about 7 p.m. Monday.

Moore was not in the hospital for committing a crime.

He was considered missing and endangered because of his mental health issues and difficulty in social environments, and because he does not communicate well verbally.

Limani referred questions about how Moore was found to the hospital.

The executive director did not immediately return a call for comment.

Mom’s jail death leads to legislation HARRISBURG (AP) — The Pennsylvania Senate is advancing legislation in response to a 2014 jailcell death of a mother of seven who was serving a weekend sentence for her children’s absences from school.

The bill passed unanimously Tuesday and goes to the House of Representatives.

Berks County Democratic Sen. Judy Schwank said the bill would make teachers and school administrators responsible for truancy issues and get them involved early, rather than making courts the first response.

It also would offer parents the opportunity to perform community service, instead of going to jail, if they’re convicted of violating school attendance requirements and can’t afford the fine.

Eileen DiNino, of Reading, died of natural causes during a two-day sentence to erase about $2,000 in truancy fines and court costs that had accrued since 1999.

Engineering firm exec pleads guilty PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At least seven people have now pleaded guilty in an FBI pay-to-play corruption probe of city officials in Reading and Allentown.

On Tuesday, federal prosecutors unsealed the guilty plea of Matthew McTish, 57, to conspiracy to commit bribery.

Prosecutors said the engineering firm executive made thousands of dollars in campaign contributions under pressure from unnamed officials in Reading and Allentown to keep his company in line for municipal contracts.

McTish’s lawyer, Laurel Brandstetter, said her client participated in the pay-to-play scheme to keep his firm competitive.

The case became public last summer when FBI agents raided both city halls as well as the homes of Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski and thenReading Mayor Vaughn Spencer.

Prosecutor: Inmate ‘can’t hide’ from evidence KITTANNING (AP) — A man accused of escaping from a county jail and killing an acquaintance who lived nearby can run but “can’t hide” from evidence in his trial, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

“The evidence will show you Robert Crissman Jr. ran from the Armstrong County Jail directly to the home of Tammy Long,” said Katie Charlton, Armstrong County assistant district attorney. “He killed her, took her

“He can’t hide from the facts of this case,” Charlton said.

Crissman faces life in prison without parole if he’s convicted of first-degree murder in Long’s death.

On Tuesday, Long’s boyfriend testified that Crissman showed up the morning of July 30 claiming to have car trouble. Terry Slagle, who didn’t know Crissman had recently been jailed, left for work only to see news reports about a jail break — and his stolen pickup being described as Crissman’s get-

After graduation, she remained at IUP as the head of the IUP Centennial Committee, starting the festivities by presenting Jimmy Stewart with an honorary doctoral degree. Upon completion of the yearlong celebration, she became an assistant director of financial aid and an active supporter of IUP student life until she retired on June 30, 1993.

Sally loved working with her wonderful co-workers and students and was in-

volved in numerous university committees during her tenure on campus.

Deeply involved with the Indiana Citizens’ Ambulance Service board, she served as board president for one term.

Upon moving into St. Andrew’s Village, Sally became involved in the Residents’ Association, serving as its president.

He was born Feb. 25, 1923, in Punxsutawney.

He loved to travel, and he and Timmi crisscrossed the country in a camper many times. In later life he enjoyed traveling to see his family.

He also enjoyed restoring antique furniture in his spare time.

He was a formidable Scrabble and bridge player and took no prisoners as anyone who played against him can attest. Anything chocolate …. that was his!

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia-based Comcast Corp. has paid its founder’s widow nearly $490 million in perks and to cash out life insurance policies in her name.

Founder Ralph Roberts was 95 when he died in June and his widow, Suzanne, 94, was paid $326 million to cover perks her husband was awarded in 1992. The cable television giant also paid $164 million to end insurance policies on Suzanne Roberts’ life

that were becoming expensive because of her age.

The payments were detailed in regulatory filings last month.

Comcast says the cost to the company will be less than the $490 million paid out, however, because of corporate tax benefits and because the cash value of the life insurance policies was more than what was paid to Roberts’ widow.

In all, the payments will cost the company about $154 million.

N. Korea offers good look at Kim SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean state media today released high-resolution headshots of more than two dozen top officials, including leader Kim Jong Un, that appear to be missing something Pyongyang-watchers have come to expect: signs of retouching.

It’s common for photos of Kim released through North Korea state channels to show signs of manipulation, though North Korea officials deny altering images. So it’s unusual to receive a pore-level view of the young leader.

Chang Yong Seok, a North Korea expert at Seoul National University, said the North might be trying to sell a more natural and positive image of Kim and his senior officials following the ruling-party congress that ended Monday. He said the authoritarian country might be trying to create an image as a “normal country” that is not much different from others.

Analyst Cho Han-bum at the Seoul-based Korea Institute for National Unification said North Korea may want to portray Kim as humble yet confident.

and Candy Aultman, both of Shelocta, and Don Rupert, Elderton; and numerous cousins.

Preceding Charles in death were his parents; uncle and aunt William and Emily Heckman; and uncle Joseph Heckman.

A memorial service will be conducted Saturday at the Sagamore Wesleyan Methodist Church with the Rev. Thad Taylor and the Rev. Casey Heckman officiating.

In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to the John A. Lefdahl Funeral Home to assist with funeral expenses. w w w. l e f d a h l f u n e r a l home.com

The state-run Korean Central News Agency also released photos of 27 other members of North Korea’s top leadership — 20 in suits and seven in military uniform. Kim is the only one grinning, and the only one seen without a lapel pin bearing the faces of his grandfather, national founder Kim Il Sung, and father, Kim Jong Il. One top official was looking much better than some had expected: Ri Yong Gil, who South Korean intelligence officials had said was executed months earlier.

ISIS advances toward Palmyra

BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants advanced toward the Syrian city of Palmyra today, threatening to besiege the world-famous ancient site only several weeks after the government recaptured it from the extremists.

Media allied with the group and other activists said IS fighters seized a strategically located but deserted rocket-launching site close to an air base less than 40 miles from Palmyra. For the government forces, the capture effectively severs a highway linking Palmyra to the government-controlled T-4 air base and the provincial capital Homs, threatening government supply routes.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other activists confirmed the reported IS advance. The development comes after intense clashes with government troops near the air base, and a week after the extremist group advanced toward natural gas fields to the north.

Al-Bayan radio reported that IS militants took control of the deserted site, seized two government checkpoints guarding the air base and downed a military helicopter to the north of the base.

The Observatory also reported the downing of the warplane but said the fate of its crew remains unclear.

Today’s capture “helps in severing the supply routes of the (Syrian) army from T-4 base to Palmyra, and tightening the siege on the city,” the IS-linked radio report said.

RAISING CASH COLONIAL TOYOTA recently made a $5,000 donation to the Raising Stars Foundation, which will use the money to build a school in rural Haiti. Pictured, from left, are Chuck Spadafora, of Colonial Motors; Dan Mock, Raising Stars founder; CJ Spadafora, of Colonial Motors; and Barbara McCombie, wife of the late John McCombie, who founded Raising Stars.

Planning commission approves site plans

By SEAN YODER

syoder@indianagazette.net

A plan for townhomes along Indian Springs Road remains tabled with the White Township Planning Commission.

Code Enforcement Officer Matt Genchur said Tuesday that officials had not heard any updates yet since the April commission meeting, when there were still a few deficiencies with the plan.

He also updated the commission on a backand-forth between developers Globalstar Partners LLC and the Conservation District about issues with its proximity to McCarthy Run and the locations of some storm basins.

The commission approved a final minor subdivision for FBF Transport at 535 Fenton Road.

About 2.69 acres will be subdivided off from FBF’s 132 acres there and attached to a smaller 0.433-acre parcel.

PA American Water got approval for a final site plan that would add a 1,350-square-foot chemical addition building at 1034 Waterworks Road.

Genchur said they are also upgrading some of their containment areas for chemical delivery and are replacing raw water intake screens.

Two storage buildings at 170 College Lodge Road, the Tree Monkeys Tree Service site, were

approved through a final plan. The buildings will be 115 by 140 feet and 15 by 70 feet. Assistant Township Manager Chris Anderson

said the site is exempt from stormwater regulations since it doesn’t meet the minimum threshold of impermeable surface.

Girl Scouts show appreciation to military

By LISA SHADE

globe,� said Patricia A. Burkart, CEO of GSWPA. “Operation: Sweet Appreciation helps amplify their efforts and sends tens of thousands of cookies to active-duty soldiers overseas as well as veterans right here at home.�

In 2015, more than 38,000 boxes of cookies were donated through Operation: Sweet Appreciation. By the end of booth sales on March 20, more than 40,000 boxes were already donated. In April the total grew to more than 43,000 boxes.

May is Military Appreciation Month, and Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania (GSWPA) is making a final push to send 45,000 boxes of the brand’s iconic cookies to men and women serving our country overseas in the U.S. military and community veterans’ groups.

Donations to the program — called Operation: Sweet Appreciation — will be collected online now through Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, at gswpa.org/mili tary.

Anyone who donates online to Operation: Sweet Appreciation can choose a specific Girl Scout troop or individually registered girl (also known as Indie Girls) to benefit from the donation, just as they would through the traditional cookie program. “Every year, Girl Scouts send care packages of Girl Scout cookies, much-needed personal items and letters to U.S. service-men and -women around the

leaders Deborah Phillips and Jennifer Smith both come from military families. “Our brothers, father, son, niece, uncles and nephew have served or are currently serving our country,� said Phillips. “Donating cookies is our way to bring a piece of home and normality to the patients and their families,� she added.

In June the troop will be attending Operation Ward 57’s 5K run in Warminster.

The girls plan to distribute questionnaires to discover what care or services are lacking and to bring those needs to the public’s attention.

Operation Ward 57 is a nonprofit organization based out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that helps wounded soldiers and their families.

This past Christmas the girls made fleece knot blankets for the patients on the amputee ward for distribution during Operation Ward 57’s holiday celebration.

LESS PA AIN. AIN...LESS BRUISING

BLAWNOX (AP) — General Electric is closing a Pittsburgh-area plant that makes solar power equipment and says 250 of 380 workers there will lose their jobs.

GE plans to close the plant in Blawnox by year’s end, the Pittsburgh PostGazette first reported Tuesday.

Severance packages and other benefits, including help finding new jobs, will be spelled out in the next week, said Tim Waldee, GE’s site leader at the plant.

The 130 others who work at the plant just a few miles east of Pittsburgh will keep jobs as contractors for the U.S. Navy and work in other Pittsburgh-area locations, or move to Houston. That will be the new headquarters of GE’s North American power conversion business, GE spokesman Paul Floren said.

The Blawnox plant makes inverters, which convert energy from direct to alternating current, or the opposite. The equipment is used in solar power generation.

GE had hired 130 people at the plant in the past year in anticipation of solar industry demand that never materialized, Waldee said. “We don’t have a lot of orders or sustainable demand after the third quarter of this year,� Waldee said.

The plant’s workers will fill existing orders and service devices that have already been sold while the plant remains open, he said.

General Electric Energy bought the Blawnox plant from Converteam Group SAS in 2011 for $3.2 billion, the Pittsburgh Business Times reported.

The making of an ignoramus

T

ruly, Donald Trump knows nothing. He is more ignorant about policy than you can possibly imagine, even when you take into account the fact that he is more ignorant than you can possibly imagine. But his ignorance isn’t as unique as it may seem: In many ways, he’s just doing a clumsy job of channeling nonsense widely popular in his party, and to some extent in the chattering classes more generally.

Last week the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — hard to believe, but there it is — finally revealed his plan to make America great again. Basically, it involves running the country like a failing casino: He could, he asserted, “make a deal” with creditors that would reduce the debt burden if his outlandish promises of economic growth don’t work out.

The reaction from everyone who knows anything about finance or economics was a mix of amazed horror and horrified amazement. One does not casually suggest throwing away America’s carefully cultivated reputation as the world’s most scrupulous debtor — a reputation that dates all the way back to Alexander Hamilton.

The Trump solution would, among other things, deprive the world economy of its most crucial safe asset, U.S. debt, at a time when safe assets are already in short supply.

Of course, we can be sure that Trump knows none of this, and nobody in his entourage is likely to tell Paul Krugman him. But before we simply ridicule writes a him — or, actually, at the same time column for The that we’re ridiculing him — let’s ask where his bad ideas really come New York Times. from.

First of all, Trump obviously believes that America could easily find itself facing a debt crisis. But why? After all, investors, who are willing to lend to America at incredibly low interest rates, are evidently not worried by our debt. And there’s good reason for their calmness: Federal interest payments are only 1.3 percent of gross domestic product, or 6 percent of total outlays.

These numbers mean both that the burden of the debt is fairly small and that even complete repudiation of that debt would have only a minor effect on the government’s cash flow.

So why is Trump even talking about this subject? Well, one possible answer is that lots of supposedly serious people have been hyping the alleged threat posed by federal debt for years. For example, Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House, has warned repeatedly about a “looming debt crisis.” Indeed, until not long ago the whole Beltway elite seemed to be in the grip of BowlesSimpsonism, with its assertion that debt was the greatest threat facing the nation.

A lot of this debt hysteria was really about trying to bully us into cutting Social Security and Medicare, which is why so many self-proclaimed fiscal hawks were also eager to cut taxes on the rich. But Trump apparently wasn’t in on that particular con, and takes the phony debt scare seriously. Sad! Still, even if he misunderstands the fiscal situation, how can he imagine that it would be OK for America to default? One answer is that he’s extrapolating from his own business career, in which he has done very well by running up debts, then walking away from them.

But it’s also true that much of the Republican Party shares his insouciance about default. Remember, the party’s congressional wing deliberately set about extracting concessions from President Barack Obama, using the threat of gratuitous default via a refusal to raise the debt ceiling.

And quite a few Republican lawmakers defended that strategy of extortion by arguing that default wouldn’t be that bad, that even with its access to funds cut off the U.S. government could “prioritize” payments, and that the financial disruption would be no big deal.

Given that history, it’s not too hard to understand why candidate Trump thinks not paying debts in full makes sense.

The important thing to realize, then, is that when Trump talks nonsense, he’s usually just offering a bombastic version of a position that’s widespread in his party.

In fact, it’s remarkable how many ridiculous Trumpisms were previously espoused by Mitt Romney in 2012, from his claim that the true unemployment rate vastly exceeds official figures to his claim that he can bring prosperity by starting a trade war with China.

None of this should be taken as an excuse for Trump. He really is frighteningly uninformed; worse, he doesn’t appear to know what he doesn’t know. The point, instead, is that his blithe lack of knowledge largely follows from the know-nothing attitudes of the party he now leads.

Oh, and just for the record: No, it’s not the same on the other side of the aisle. You may dislike Hillary Clinton, you may disagree sharply with her policies, but she and the people around her do know their facts. Nobody has a monopoly on wisdom, but in this election, one party has largely cornered the market in raw ignorance.

BYRON YORK

Concern over divisions along cultural or racial lines was also likely behind Ryan’s assertion that the GOP is “the party of Lincoln, of Reagan, of Jack Kemp.” Yes, Ryan’s inclusion of Kemp, a man of far smaller stature than Lincoln and Reagan, had something to do with the fact that Kemp was Ryan’s mentor. But Ryan also included Kemp, the famously selfstyled “bleeding-heart conservative,” to project an image of Republican inclusiveness, an ideal to which GOP leaders, including Trump, should aspire.

So in the end, it appears Ryan’s message to Trump was: We don’t have to agree on entitlements or trade, but you’ve got to tone it down on matters of race and culture if you want my support.

Ryan’s stand carries significant risk.

With no competition, Trump is going to win more primaries, and pile up more votes, by the time of the convention. If Ryan changes course and supports Trump without some truly meaningful concession from the nominee, Ryan will look weak. If he opposes Trump the whole way, he’ll anger a lot of people in his own party.

In addition, in some cases, Trump has a majority of Republican voters on his side. For example, exit polls from GOP primaries have shown strong support for temporarily banning Muslims who are not U.S. citizens from entering the U.S. In Pennsylvania, 69 percent of GOP primary voters supported the proposal. In New York, 68 percent supported it. In Florida, the number was 64 percent.

In Georgia, 68 percent. In Ohio, 65 percent. Michigan, 63 percent. Texas, 67 percent. And in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin, 69 percent supported it.

That’s about two-thirds support among Republican primary voters across the country for a proposal Ryan called “not what this party stands for, and more importantly ... not what this country stands for.” If Ryan were to urge Trump to back down from the proposal, Trump’s response might be: I won, and this guy is making demands?

Forget coal, focus on workers

By Bloomberg View Before West Virginians voted in Tuesday’s presidential primary, Donald Trump promised to put coal miners back to work, and Hillary Clinton promised to put them out of business. It’s not hard to see why Trump had a stronger claim on voters’ sympathies.

Both of them, it almost goes without saying, are exaggerating — though, as usual, Trump’s exaggeration is more extravagant. The long, slow decline of coal will continue no matter who becomes the next president. The question is what should now sustain the communities devastated by its demise, and how the federal government can help.

There are three main reasons so many coal jobs have disappeared over the last few decades. First, better technology allowed the mining industry to dramatically expand its use of machinery, reducing the number of miners required. Second, equally dramatic technological improvements have allowed drillers to get ac-

cess to far more natural gas, undercutting coal on price. Unless Trump wants to ban both fracking and heavy machinery, he can’t bring back coal.

The third reason implicates government policy. By imposing increasingly strict standards on hazardous emissions from coal-fired power plants, including mercury, ozone and most recently carbon dioxide, the government has accelerated coal’s demise. The case for those rules is overwhelming, both to protect public health and fight climate change.

The Barack Obama administration has proposed more money for job training, as well as shoring up workers’ health and retirement funds jeopardized by the bankruptcy of coal companies. Those are reasonable proposals, and Congress should fund them. Clinton would go much further, pledging to spend $30 billion over 10 years on new coal country infrastructure, more broadband Internet access and more generous tax credits, among many other things.

Her campaign says the goal is to attract new business to the area.

A more straightforward option is to expand federal assistance to coal miners. In a sense, that’s already happening: West Virginia and Kentucky top the list of states with the highest share of their population drawing Social Security disability benefits, at close to twice the national average. A more direct program might simply cut checks to healthy but out-of-work miners, who could then use the money to pay for more education, to retire early or, if they so wish, to move.

Depending on the size of the check, it might even be cost-effective — since 2000, the number of Americans working as coal miners has never exceeded 88,000.

The government is right to discourage the use of coal, which is harmful to both the planet and the humans who inhabit it. The government also has an obligation to help repair the livelihoods of those affected by its policy.

There’s bound to be more than one approach, and the next administration will need to be creative.

Closing school a part of solution for Indiana Unintended consequences are when numerous new school board members (and some old ones) want to build a super elementary school for more than $25 million, yet don’t know how to contend with as much as a $1.5 million to $2 million budget deficit. I doubt any of these board members spent much time in education with financial courses.

A website “Best Middle Schools in Pennsylvania” rates Indiana No. 140 with 13 students per classroom while Philadelphia Masterson is rated No. 1 with a student ratio of 21.9. If Indiana had 16 students per room in Grades 6, 7 and 8, 10 fewer teachers and 10 fewer classrooms would be required,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR allowing fifth grade to move to the junior high with nine elementary teachers teaching fifth grade.

The movement of fifth grade greatly affects the elementary community.

Pre-K to fourth grade would require 57 classrooms on estimated school enrollment for 2016–17. East Pike has 23 classrooms, Eisenhower 16 and Ben Franklin 27 for a total of 66, and only 54 are required in September.

That would leave Horace Mann to be closed for a $1 million drop in the expenditure budget, for a total of $2 million counting the junior high

teacher drop mentioned previously.

Without spending a dime, this plan solves the problem of two in-town elementary schools only half-full and a junior high half of capacity.

Use three elementaries for Pre-K to fourth grade as you see fit, board, but consider the busing costs for the present arrangement and remember that 50 percent of students were walkers to Horace Mann and Eisenhower when they were K-6.

Be very smart with taxpayers about to be faced with reassessment taxes soon. They hardly can afford building costs that aren’t necessary.

Police seek motive in Mass. stabbings TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — Authorities are trying to determine why a man went on a stabbing rampage in Massachusetts, killing two people and assaulting and stabbing more in a house and a shopping mall before being shot dead by a fastacting off-duty sheriff’s deputy.

The suspect in the attacks was identified as Arthur DaRosa, of Taunton.

Authorities said it all began when DaRosa, 28, crashed a car outside of a house in the city, about 40 miles south of Boston. He walked inside the home and stabbed two women.

An 80-year-old was taken to a hospital, where she later died. The other woman was being treated for life-threatening injuries.

DaRosa then drove to the Silver City Galleria mall, where he crashed into the front of a Macy’s department store and then attacked the others, authorities said.

Car bomb kills scores in Iraq

By SINAN SALAHEDDIN Associated Press

BAGHDAD — An explosives-laden car bomb ripped through a commercial area in a predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad today, killing at least 63 people and wounding dozens in an attack that was swiftly claimed by the extremist Islamic State group.

Shortly after the explosion, one of the deadliest recently in the Iraqi capital, the Sunni extremist group — which sees Shiite Muslims as apostates — said it was behind the assault. IS

said the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, but Iraqi officials denied that.

The bombing showed that while IS has suffered a number of territorial defeats in the past year, the militants are still capable of launching significant attacks across the country. They also have recently stepped up assaults inside Baghdad, something officials say is an attempt to distract from their recent battlefield defeats.

The bomb struck a crowded outdoor market in Baghdad’s eastern district of Sadr City, two police officials

said, adding that the blast also wounded up to 65 people, several seriously, prompting fears the death toll could rise further.

Ambulances rushed to the scene where dozens of residents walked through the twisted and mangled wreckage of cars and other debris that littered the pavement, trying to help the victims. The street was stained red with blood in many places and front-side facades of several buildings were heavily damaged.

Smoke billowed from ground-level stores gutted out by the explosion.

Karim Salih, a 45-year old

grocer, said the bomb was a pickup truck loaded with fruits and vegetables that was parked by a man who quickly disappeared among the crowd.

“It was such a thunderous explosion that jolted the ground,” Salih said. “The force of the explosion threw me meters away and I lost conscious for a few minutes.” He suffered no injuries, but two of his workers were wounded.

Four medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to release information.

In its online statement, IS said it had carried out a suicide attack that targeted a gathering of Shiite militiamen. The AP could not immediately verify the authenticity of the claim but it appeared on a website commonly used by the Sunni militants.

IS also controls a significant area in northern and western Iraq, including Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul. Commercial and public places in Shiitedominated areas are among the most frequent targets for the Sunni militants seeking to undermine efforts to maintain security.

GOP senators want answers from Facebook over links

Baltimore mayor enacts travel ban

By DONNA CASSATA

BALTIMORE (AP) — Stephanie RawlingsBlake, the mayor of Baltimore, has suspended all city-sponsored travel to North Carolina and Mississippi due to the states’ new transgender laws.

Rawlings-Blake made the announcement Tuesday in a letter to city officials, saying she hopes the city’s efforts combined with those of other governments and companies “will push North Carolina and Mississippi” to change.

The letter says cabinet members shouldn’t make travel requests to the two states “until the situation changes.”

The new law in North Carolina directs government agencies and publicly funded schools to designate bathrooms for people based on their genders at birth.

Mississippi passed a law, effective July 1, allowing workers to cite their own religious beliefs as a reason to deny service.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Tuesday demanded an explanation from Facebook after reports that former company staffers excluded links to conservative political stories.

A senior Facebook executive said the company has found no evidence to back up the allegations.

In a letter to chairman and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, South Dakota Sen. John Thune requested information on who at the company made the decisions on stories for Facebook’s Trending Topics feature, what training is provided to employees, whether the company is investigating and what steps it will take to hold people accountable.

“If Facebook presents its Trending Topics section as a result of a neutral, objective algorithm, but it is subjective and filtered to support or suppress particular political viewpoints, Facebook’s assertion that it maintains ‘a platform for people and perspectives from across the political JOHN THUNE spectrum’ misleads the public,” wrote Thune, who chairs the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.

He asked for answers by May 24.

News reports say Facebook employees excluded links to stories they considered less reliable in its list of trending stories, though individuals could post links to conservative stories on their own feeds.

Tom Stocky, Facebook vice president of search, said his team is responsible for the Trending Topics and the company has “found no evidence that the anonymous allegations are true.”

“There are rigorous guidelines in place for the review team to ensure consistency and neutrality,” Stocky wrote. “These guidelines do not permit the suppression of political perspectives. Nor do they permit the prioritization of one viewpoint over another or one news outlet over another. These guidelines do not prohibit any news outlet from appearing in Trending Topics.”

Adam Jentleson, an aide to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., maintained there are more pressing priorities than the Facebook issue.

“The Republican Senate refuses to hold hearings on (Supreme Court nominee) Judge (Merrick) Garland, refuses to fund the president’s request for Zika aid and takes the most days off of any Senate since 1956, but thinks Facebook hearings are a matter of urgent national interest,” Jentleson said.

Questioned later, Thune defended the committee’s actions and insisted he wasn’t suggesting “anything untoward” on the part of Facebook. He said the panel was responding to media reports and asking for a clarification on policy.

“We think this is perfectly legitimate line of inquiry,” he said.

Bangladesh hangs Islamist party leader DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — The head of Bangladesh’s largest Islamist party was executed early today for his role in acts of genocide and war crimes during the country’s independence war against Pakistan in 1971, a senior government official said.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said Motiur Rahman Nizami, 73, leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was hanged today inside Dhaka central jail amid tight security. A crowd of activists celebrated outside the jail.

The execution came a few hours after Nizami’s family had visited him for the last time. His body was handed over to his family for burial in a family graveyard in the northwestern district of Pabna, his ancestral home.

Jamaat-e-Islami issued a statement condemning the execution and called for a daylong general strike across the country for Thursday.

Canines in Flint tested for toxicity FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Humans aren’t the only ones affected by the water crisis in Flint — pets also may have been exposed to lead. An effort coordinated by Michigan State University is helping dogs get tested.

The school’s College of Veterinary Medicine has hosted screening events with professors, students and technicians volunteering to draw blood from dogs. State veterinarian James Averill said his office has documented seven cases of lead toxicity in dogs.

A WILDFIRE has been burning south of Fort McMurray, Alberta, since last week.

Warming-fueled wildfires on the rise, survey finds

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Alberta’s unusually early and large fire is just the latest of many gargantuan fires on an Earth that’s grown hotter with more extreme weather.

Earlier this year, large wildfires hit spots on opposite ends of the world — Tasmania and Oklahoma-Kansas. Last year, Alaska and California pushed the U.S. to a record 10 million acres burned.

Massive fires hit Siberia, Mongolia and China last year and Brazil’s fire season has increased by a month over the past three decades.

It got so bad that in 2009, Australia added a bright red “catastrophic” to its fire warning index.

“The warmer it is, the more fires we get,” said Mike Flannigan, a professor of wildland fire at the University of Alberta.

Last week, temperatures pushed past 90 degrees Fahrenheit in Alberta, which is unusual for May in northern Canada.

It’s not quite so simple though.

Many factors contribute to the complex increase in big fires, Flannigan and several experts said. They include climate change, the way people use land and firefighting methods that leave more fuel — trees and brush — to burn.

But the temperature one stands out, Flannigan said.

“The Alberta wildfires are an excellent example of what we’re seeing more and more of: warming means snow melts earlier, soils and vegetation dries out

earlier, and the fire season starts earlier. It’s a train wreck,” University of Arizona climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck wrote in an email.

Worldwide, the length of Earth’s fire season increased nearly 19 percent from 1979 to 2013, according to a study by Mark Cochrane, a professor of fire ecology at South Dakota State University.

Fires had steadily been increasing, but then in the late 1990s and early 2000s, “we’ve suddenly been hit with lots of these large fires we can’t control,” Cochrane said.

In terms of acreage burned, the worldwide total may be dropping because of better firefighting, but in North America and Siberia “fires have grown quite a bit due to warming,” Columbia University climate and ecology scientist Park Williams wrote in an email. “My estimate is that global warming has been responsible for about half of this increase.”

For the entire U.S., the 10-year average number of acres burned in wildfires has more than doubled from about 3 million acres in the mid-1980s to 7 million acres now, according to an analysis of government data by The Associated Press.

Twelve years ago, a study by Flannigan and University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver found that “human-induced climate change has had a detectable influence” on a dramatic increase in wildfires in Canada. Flannigan said the area burned in Canada has doubled since the 1970s “and we think

that’s due to climate change.”

“Globally we are seeing more fires, bigger fires, more severe fires,” said Kevin Ryan, a retired U.S. Forest Service scientist who is now a fire consultant, with a recent stint in Indonesia, where fires were big last year.

Fires in some places, such as Indonesia and Canada, are bad when there’s an El Niño — a warming of parts of the Pacific that changes weather worldwide — because it triggers drought in those regions, Ryan said. In Indonesia, changes in land use are a bigger factor than climate, Ryan said.

But elsewhere, it’s temperature and moisture, too much of one and not enough of the other, scientists said. As the air warms, it gets “more efficient at sucking the moisture out of the fuels” which makes them more prone to burn, Flannigan said. Then add in lightning. A study found that lightning increases 12 percent with every degree Celsius and that can trigger more fires.

Flannigan said there’s evidence of fire-triggered clouds in Alberta causing at least two more fires because of lightning.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences earlier this year in a study determined that “climate warming has resulted in longer fire seasons.” But other factors, such as the way fires are fought and land use, make it difficult to scientifically attribute individual fires and regional fires to climate change, the report and other scientists said.

“This is absolutely a harbinger of things to come,” said Canadian climate scientist Weaver.

Report: 27.8M internally displaced last year

By The Indiana Gazette AMMAN, Jordan — A major aid agency said today that 27.8 million people around the world were internally displaced by conflicts and natural disasters last year, calling it a global crisis.

That’s as many as the combined populations of New York City, London, Paris and Cairo — or an average of 66,000 people dis-

placed every day in 2015.

A report by the Norwegian Refugee Council said that 8.6 million of last year’s internally displaced were uprooted by conflict, more than half of them in Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

The group says Yemen alone accounted for one quarter of conflict-related displacement worldwide last year, with 2.2 million people uprooted, or 20 times more than in 2014.

The impoverished Arabian Peninsula country, which is gripped by a war pitting Yemen’s Shiite rebels known as Houthis and their allies against forces loyal to the internationally backed government, which is being aided by a Saudi-led coalition and its airstrikes’ campaign targeting the rebels.

Yemen was followed by Syria with 1.3 million displaced and Iraq with 1.1 million, the report said.

The group’s Middle East director, Carsten Hansen, said that while the world’s attention was focused on Middle Eastern refugees, or those who fled their homelands, millions were displaced internally in the region.

“While richer, stable countries have been scheming to keep asylum seekers out of their borders and deny them protection, millions remain trapped in

their own countries with death ... just around the corner,” he said.

The total of those internally displaced by conflict in the world now stands at 40.8 million, including the newly displaced 8.6 million last year.

“This is the highest number ever recorded, and twice the number of refugees worldwide,” said Jan Egeland, the head of the NRC.

Ex-Rendell aide pleads guilty

By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A onetime top aide to former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell snared in an FBI sting pleaded guilty Tuesday after he was caught pocketing thousands of dollars in supposed campaign contributions from a fake company set up by the FBI to investigate public corruption in Pennsylvania.

John H. Estey said little in front of Judge John E. Jones, and federal prosecutors revealed nothing more about the sting. Left unanswered are questions about what led the FBI to Estey, whether any other targets took the bait and whether Estey cooperated in recording the conversations of other potential targets.

Asked by Jones during the 30-minute hearing whether he intended to plead guilty to wire fraud, Estey said, “I do, your honor.”

Estey and his lawyer, Ronald H. Levine, left court without speaking.

Jones set no sentencing date for Estey, 53, who had been prominent in Pennsylvania’s political and legal circles. When the plea agreement made the case public April 29, Estey was promptly fired from his senior executive post at the $12 billion Hershey Trust Co., which oversees the majority stake in The Hershey Co. The plea agreement said Estey faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Consiglio told Jones that prosecutors will recommend a lighter sentence if Estey accepts responsibility.

Asked later if prison time is likely for Estey, Consiglio said that will be up to the judge.

The case has fueled speculation that Estey led investigators to former state Treasurer Rob McCord, who resigned his post and pleaded guilty to federal extortion counts last year after he was recorded in 2014 trying to strong-arm contributions to his failed gubernatorial campaign.

McCord awaits sentencing.

Former federal prosecutors say the extent of the FBI operation leads them to believe that investigators had significant intelligence about wrongdoing and that a successful sting would yield more arrests.

Prosecutor: New Sandusky claims unreliable

By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

prosecutors said the FBI set up the fake company, which they did not name, to investigate allegations of public corruption. They did not reveal the nature of those allegations, but agents posing as its executives first made contact with Estey in 2009, after he had left the Rendell administration. Estey represented the company through mid-2011 as an owner of an unidentified Philadelphia-based lobbying firm, court papers said.

The plea agreement said Estey told agents in 2011 that lawmakers would help the phony company in exchange for $20,000 in campaign contributions.

The Philadelphia Inquirer identified the FBI’s front company as the Floridabased Textbook Bio-Solutions LLC, which spent about $135,000 on lobbyists, records show.

HARRISBURG — Prosecutors are dismissing as unreliable allegations that two assistant coaches at Penn State witnessed Jerry Sandusky having inappropriate or sexual contact with children in the late 1980s, more than two decades before his arrest and conviction as a serial child abuser.

“The reports turned out to be double and triple hearsay and of no value, with the coaches in question each denying they saw anything,” Solicitor General Bruce Castor said. “So dead ends there all around.”

A Philadelphia judge’s ruling last week in a lawsuit by Penn State against an insurance company made public the previously undisclosed allegations, which came from depositions by some of Sandusky’s accusers.

The insurer was quoted in the ruling as claiming an assistant coach saw “inappropriate contact” between Sandusky and a child in a

school facility in 1987 and another witnessed “sexual contact” between Sandusky and a child in 1988.

The court document did not provide any other details, including the names of the coaches.

Sandusky, a former assistant coach, was convicted in 2012 of 45 counts of child sex abuse and is serving a lengthy prison sentence.

The case became a major scandal at Penn State after an investigation concluded university officials failed to respond properly to complaints against Sandusky in 1998 and 2001. Former Penn State administrators Gary Schultz, Tim Curley and Graham Spanier await trial on charges of failure to report suspected abuse and child endangerment for their handling of complaints about Sandusky.

Coach Joe Paterno told a grand jury in 2011 that he did not know of child molestation allegations against Sandusky before 2001, when assistant coach Mike McQueary told him he saw

Sandusky assaulting a boy in a team shower. Paterno, who did not face criminal charges, died in 2012 just months after being fired.

Penn State officials have labeled as unsubstantiated the latest allegations cited by its insurer, including a claim that a child told Paterno in 1976 that Sandusky had molested him. But the university, which since Sandusky’s conviction has paid out more than $90 million to settle more than 30 claims, acknowledged Sunday that the abuse allegations date as far back as 1971. Sandusky began working at the university full time in 1969 and retired in 1999.

Castor, hired by the state attorney general as her second-in-command, told The Associated Press a 1971

claim was known to investigators, but they found no supporting documentation from that period.

“The victim in that case had a civil lawyer who asked us in 2014 not to interview him formally because of a pending lawsuit,” Castor said. “We abided by his wishes after determining that this victim’s information was too remote in time to be useful in our cases against the PSU administrators.”

Two assistant coaches who worked with Sandusky and Paterno, Booker Brooks and Dick Anderson, were witnesses for Sandusky’s defense at his 2012 trial.

Anderson testified he occasionally saw Sandusky showering with boys after workouts but never saw anything inappropriate.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sixteen black West Point cadets who posed with raised fists for a pre-graduation picture that sparked debates on race and proper behavior in uniform wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be punished for the gesture, the U.S. Military Academy said Tuesday.

The decision, less than two weeks before the 16 female seniors are poised to graduate, found they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t violate military rules limiting political activity.

An internal inquiry found the cadets didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to make a political statement, West Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr., said in a letter to the student body.

But, he said, they showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lapse of awareness in how symbols and gestures can be misinterpreted and cause division,â&#x20AC;? and they will receive instruction to address â&#x20AC;&#x153;their intent versus the impact of the photo.â&#x20AC;?

The fists-up image, which circulated online, led some observers to question whether the women were

THIS PHOTO, taken from Twitter Saturday, shows 16 black, female cadets in uniform with their fists raised while posing for a photo at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. expressing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which grew out of protests over police killings of unarmed black men.

But the inquiry found the picture, among several the women made in keeping with an informal campus

tradition, captured a spurof-the-moment gesture intended to demonstrate unity and pride in graduating, Caslen wrote. Groups of cadets often take Old Corps pictures in traditional dress uniforms to echo historical portraits.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Milky Way just got a lot more crowded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with planets.

NASA on Tuesday announced 1,284 new planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, called exoplanets. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on top of the approximately 1,000 previously authenticated exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope since its launch in 2009.

Scientists taking part in the news conference were ecstatic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest planetary collection ever verified in a single swoop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the great questions of all time, and one of NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science objectives in our journey to the solar system and beyond, is whether we are alone in the universe,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Hertz, director of astrophysics for NASA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step in answering this question is to detect and understand the population of planets around other stars.â&#x20AC;?

According to NASA, more than 3,200 exoplanets have now been confirmed, out of nearly 5,000 candidates discovered to date from all sources, including ground observatories. Kepler has accounted for the vast majority.

The old process for confirming planets among the Kepler-identified candidates involved slow and laborious follow-up observations by ground telescopes.

This new batch of planets comes from a statistical analysis led by Princeton University researcher Timothy Morton. And there are sure to be more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; possibly as many as 1,327 more from among the Kepler-detected candidates listed in the telescope catalog as of last July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most exoplanets that have ever been announced at one time,â&#x20AC;? Morton told reporters. The research was published Tuesday by Astrophysical Journal.

Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s method â&#x20AC;&#x201D; using a fast and automated software system called Vespa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; puts the likelihood of true planethood for each confirmed planet at more than 99 percent. Vespa relies on thousands of incoming signals from Keplerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidate planets. A periodic dip in a starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brightness is the telescopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tipoff of a potential planet.

The Princeton technique verified 984 previously confirmed planets spotted by Kepler, which spent four years peering continuously at 150,000 stars in a particular swath of sky.

This new method also concluded that slightly more than 700 other candidate planets detected by Kepler are likely impostors, possibly small companion stars.

Of the 1,284 newly verified planets, nearly 550 of them are thought to be Earth- or super Earth-sized and quite possibly rocky,

according to NASA. This includes more than 100 new planets estimated to be 1.2 times the radius of Earth or smaller.

Nine of these close-toEarth-sized planets appear to orbit in the habitable zone of their stars.

The tally for this Goldilocks zone of not too hot and not too cold, allowing for liquid water, now stands at 21 exoplanets following Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement.

Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., called this exclusive list the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hall of fame.â&#x20AC;?

Kepler is, by far, the keenest spy when it comes to exoplanets.

It had a close call last month when it went into emergency mode, 75 million miles away. Flight controllers managed to resuscitate the craft.

Mission manager Charlie Sobeck assured reporters Tuesday that the problem, while still unidentified, appears to have been transient and the telescope is performing just as well as before the episode. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on an extended mission, having completed its primary objectives in 2012.

NASA plans to launch another planet-hunter next year.

A raised fist has symbolized political resistance for generations, from Nelson Mandela upon his release from prison in 1990 to Democratic Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on the presidential campaign trail this year.

3 charged in double homicide Continued from Page 1 baugh with conspiracy to robbery.

Preliminary hearings are scheduled for 10 a.m. June 10.

According to criminal complaints, Exum told police that Richardson and “Menace” assaulted him with a tire iron and tried to make him open a safe in his apartment when he shot them.

Police were alerted at 11:45 p.m. to a reported shooting at Carriage House Apartments, 1300 Oakland Ave., where officers learned that one of the shooting victims had been taken to Indiana Regional Medical Center.

Borough Patrolman Thomas Dessell went to the hospital and learned from Hullenbaugh, Menta and Bey that the shooting actually took place at Essex House, 1302 Oakland Ave., and that a second wounded man was still at the apartment.

Police found Exum in a stairwell at Essex House, discovered “Menace” dead in the apartment, and soon learned that Richardson had died at IRMC, according to charging documents filed by Detective John Scherf.

Hullenbaugh told police the group went to Exum’s apartment to buy marijuana, but said Richardson and “Menace” told her they planned to steal Exum’s drugs, according to police.

According to the complaint, Hullenbaugh said she fled from the apartment when the three men started arguing over the price Exum wanted them to pay for the marijuana.

She said she returned to her vehicle with Menta and Bey after they heard gunshots in the apartment.

Moments later, Richardson arrived at the vehicle

and told them he had been shot in the neck, Hullenbaugh told police.

Police said officers confiscated a small revolver from Exum when they took him into custody, then interviewed him at the Indiana police station.

Police reported in the complaint that “Menace” apparently had been shot twice in the torso.

The bodies of the victims were taken this morning to Forensic DX, a pathology lab in Windber, Somerset County, for autopsies, said Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman Jr. Overman said it appeared that both had died of gunshot wounds.

Early this morning, Overman said neither victim carried identification and that his office had not been able to contact their relatives.

Borough police gave no other information about the victims in the criminal complaints.

District Judge Guy Haberl ordered the suspects to Indiana County Jail without bond because they are charged with homicide.

Exum, a senior majoring in kinesiology health and sports science at IUP, answered “no” when Haberl asked if he had any questions about the charges.

Haberl told each suspect separately about their rights to have attorneys represent them.

Hullenbaugh sobbed throughout her arraignment.

Menta held back tears in Haberl’s courtroom and once answered “yes” when he asked if she had any questions. She paused and said “I’m sorry.”

Haberl advised each of the suspects that the charges only are allegations that must be proven in court.

District to consider armed guards in schools MONROEVILLE (AP) — A western Pennsylvania school district is poised to vote on a proposal that would place armed security guards in all of its schools.

The plan calls for putting retired police officers in all seven Gateway School District schools in suburban Pittsburgh.

School board member Mary Beth Cirucci presented the plan earlier this

month. She said the district hopes to vote on the policy by next month.

WTAE-TV reported that 10 retired law enforcement officers would be hired under the plan. It would cost about $20,000 to $30,000 more than the current security budget of about $258,000.

Board President Chad Stubenbort said the plan is “what’s best for the district.”

HONORING FALLEN OFFICERS

THE ANNUAL Indiana County Peace Officers Memorial Service was held Tuesday at the gazebo in Blairsville. The service recognizes fallen officers and included an invocation by the Rev. Timothy Monroe, of United Presbyterian Church of Blairsville, remarks from Mayor Ron Evanko, Indiana County Sheriff Robert Fyock and Magisterial District Judge Jennifer Rega and featured Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty. At the podium is Blairsville Borough Police Chief Michael Allman. Guarding the wreath, from left, are Matt Stewarts, of the sheriff’s department, and Charles Waller, with the Homer City Borough police. With their backs to the camera, from left, are Pfc. Eric Slovinsky, of the Indiana Borough police, and Deputy Richard Morris Jr., of the sheriff’s department.

Obama visit to stress future Continued from Page 1 spects for the victims,” Abe told reporters. “I believe that would be a way to respond to the victims of the atomic bombings and the survivors who are still in pain.”

The U.S. attack on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, killed 140,000 people. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki three days later, killed 70,000.

The bombings scarred generations of Japanese, both physically and mentally, but many Americans believe they hastened the end of World War II and saved countless other lives.

Japan announced it would surrender on Aug. 15.

As for Obama’s visit, the Japanese people are ready for this moment, seven decades in the making.

In a NHK television poll this month, 70 percent of Japanese respondents said they wanted Obama to visit, compared to 2 percent against it.

Survivors, especially, have long been waiting. The number of survivors who are recognized as “hibakusha” and entitled to medical assistance from the Japanese government was more than 183,000 as of March.

Their average age is now over 80.

“The day has finally come,” said 91-year-old Sunao Tsuboi, a survivor of the bombing and head of a survivors group in the western Japanese city.

“We are not asking for an apology,” Tsuboi told NHK. “All we want is to see him lay flowers at the peace park and lower his head in silence. This would be a first step toward abolishing nuclear weapons.”

The president’s visit, at the end of a previously announced trip to Japan and Vietnam, has been widely anticipated since Secretary of State John Kerry went to the Hiroshima memorial in April.

Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui praised Obama’s plan as a “bold decision based on conscience and rationality” and said he hopes the president will listen to survivors’ stories. Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue said the president would “send a powerful message, in his own words, toward achieving a world without nuclear weapons.”

Obama’s call for a nuclear-free world echoes the message delivered by former President Jimmy Carter when he visited Hi-

roshima in 1984 and pledged to work as a private citizen “to eliminate nuclear weapons from the face of the earth.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said it was “entirely legitimate” for historians and the American public to debate whether President Harry Truman’s decision to drop the bomb was the right thing to do.

“But that’s not what President Obama will do when he visits Hiroshima,” Earnest said.

“What President Obama will do is make note of the fact that the relationship between the United States and Japan has emerged stronger than anybody could have imagined back in 1945.”

For all of the symbolism associated with Obama’s visit, anti-nuclear groups said a powerful presidential message was not enough: The president who delivered a stirring call for a nuclear-free world in a Prague address during the first year of his presidency needs to use his last year to take more specific steps, they said.

The president should “use the opportunity to map out concrete actions the United States and other countries

can and will pursue to move closer to a world free of nuclear weapons,” said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the nonpartisan Arms Control Association.

Kevin Martin, president of Peace Action, a U.S.based group, added that Obama “will look insincere if his words espouse ridding the world of nuclear weapons while at the same time his administration continues its plan to spend a trillion dollars over 30 years to upgrade nuclear weapons.”

The Congressional Budget Office estimated in January 2015 that the administration’s plans for nuclear forces would cost $348 billion over the next decade.

Others have said it could approach $1 trillion over three decades.

Obama’s visit comes as the nuclear debate has been percolating in the 2016 campaign to select his successor, with GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump floating the idea of allowing South Korea and Japan to acquire nuclear weapons.

Associated Press writer Mari Yamaguchi in Tokyo and AP researcher Monika Mathur contributed to this report.

Trump adds two states, Sanders one Continued from Page 1 Sessions, Trump’s top ally on Capitol Hill. “It would be important that they have a good partnership in this election, maybe more than others.”

Trump officials were briefed earlier in the week on the RNC’s general election operation, which includes a multi-million dollar voter data operation backed by more than 200 paid staff in key states. Discussions between the Trump campaign and party leaders will continue Thursday when the presumptive nominee treks to Capitol Hill for private meetings.

He’s scheduled to meet first with party Chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker Paul Ryan, followed by a second meeting with Ryan and his House leadership team. Trump is

also expected to meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The meetings mark a critical step to address tensions between the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee and its national elected leaders.

At the same time, Republican leaders in the Senate and at the RNC are urging the party’s rank and file to unite behind the billionaire and turn their energy toward battling Democrat Hillary Clinton this fall.

“We have a nominee, it looks like he may well be very competitive, and we want to win the White House,” McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday. He added, “We know that Hillary Clinton will be four more years of Barack Obama. I think that’s going to, in the end, be enough to unify Republicans.”

RNC officials are encouraging skeptical conservatives to unite behind Trump. “The sooner the better,” Spicer said.

That’s even as Ryan, the nation’s top elected Republican, refuses to endorse Trump.

The House speaker defended his stance anew Tuesday, insisting that he was just being honest in saying Trump had more work to do to show he could unify the party after alienating women, Hispanics and many conservatives.

“It is going to take more than a week to unify this party,” Ryan said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal broadcast online.

“If we just pretend to unify without unifying, then we’ll only be at half-strength, and it won’t be good for us in the fall.”

Meanwhile, Sanders cele-

brated his primary win in West Virginia, telling a rally in Salem, Ore., that “we have an uphill climb ahead of us but we are used to fighting uphill climbs.”

Sanders said to loud cheers Tuesday evening that a host of polls, both nationally and in various states, shows he’d do better than Clinton against Trump.

The Vermont senator declared that “we are going to fight for every last vote” and will take his campaign to the party’s convention in Philadelphia in July.

With 29 delegates at stake Tuesday, Sanders gained at least 16 delegates while Clinton picked up at least 11. Two delegates remain to be allocated, pending final tallies. Based on primaries and caucuses to date, Clinton has 1,716 delegates to Sanders’ 1,430.

Winter death rate jumps for honeybees Continued from Page 1 nation’s 2.7 million commercial colonies. However, University of Montana bee scientist Jerry Bromenshenk questioned the reliability of the results because the survey relies on self-reporting. Based on what he heard from people, Bromenshenk suspects losses may be even bigger, especially in the East.

About one quarter of our diet comes from plants pollinated by honeybees.

Perhaps even more alarming is that honeybee

deaths in the summer now match winter, which traditionally had been when most bees were lost, vanEngelsdorp said.

For 2015-16, the overall colony loss rate was 44 percent, which is also up from the previous two years, but scientists only started surveying summer deaths in 2010.

What might be behind the losses is worsening varroa mites, just one of several problems scientists have blamed for declining bee populations. Other causes

include pesticides, disease and poor nutrition and food supply.

“Varroa was and is — and I’m afraid — will continue to be an enormous problem,” said May Berenbaum of the University of Illinois, who wasn’t part of the survey.

Mites kill honeybees and bring in viruses that further weaken hives. And the pesticides used to fight them can reduce immunity to other problems, Berenbaum said in an email.

VanEnglesdorp said one

problem is backyard beekeeper hobbyists who don’t treat their bees for mites with pesticides, even organic ones. Their hives die and survivors full of mites head to new hives, spreading the problem, he said.

Bromenshenk said he sees the same no-treat problem when local backyard beekeepers take his classes. Bromenshenk said he knows many beekeepers who treat their colonies, do well and then suddenly get overloaded when a no-treat neighbor’s hives died.

HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: Indiana 3, Hopewell 2

IHS advances to WPIAL title match

By DUSTIN FILLOY

dfilloy@indianagazette.net

WEXFORD — It never exuded a true sense of desperation, but for a brief period in the most heated moments of the match, the Indiana boys’ tennis team allowed Hopewell to steal the momentum.

Although the Indians held a 1-0 lead thanks to freshman Joey Bujdos, their two remaining singles players, John Appolonia and Kellen Short, were engaged in heated matches with worthy adversaries that ultimately forced third sets.

Plus Indiana’s No. 1 doubles team was down a set and trailing in the second set, and its No. 2 team was just starting its third set.

The pressure brought out a much-needed sense of urgency in Appolonia and Indiana’s No. 2 doubles team of Yongjie Weng and Brett Brice, who all saved their best play for the third set.

Appolonia rolled to a 6-1 win in his third set, Weng and Brice won 6-2 in their final set, and the second-seeded Indians edged the third-seeded Vikings, 3-2, in the semifinals of the WPIAL Class AA tournament Tuesday at the Pure Athletex Sportsplex.

The Indians (15-3) will make their second appearance in the WPIAL championship match today at 1 p.m. at the Pure Athletex Sportsplex, where they’ll face top-seeded Sewickley Academy. The Panthers are aim-

ing to win their 13th straight WPIAL title.

Sewickley Academy defeated Indiana, 5-0, in the 2007 WPIAL championship match.

Indiana will also make its second appearance in the PIAA tournament, which begins Tuesday.

“This was a number two seed and a number three seed, so if it was a 5-0-blowout then it would be a shock,” 28th-year Indiana coach Phil Palko said. “The team that was going to win this match was going to have to earn it. John just kind of dug his heels in and talked himself into winning. He pumped himself up and stayed focused, and that was huge.”

ARMAGH — John Ireland didn’t need to know when Homer-Center last won a conference title. It had been long enough, and that’s all he needed to know.

So when he got the baton, a chance to end the Wildcats’ title drought in hand, he wasn’t going to let it slip through his fingers. All that stood between the Homer-Center boys’ track and field team and their first conference championship in 14 years was one more good lap.

“I just knew they got me a lead,” Ireland said. “I can’t blow it. They’re counting on me. They put me as an anchor for a reason so I knew that I couldn’t blow it, and I just had to go out there and run the best time possible. … I just had to go out there and get it.”

Entering the final event of the meet — the 1,600 relay — one point separated Ligonier Valley and Homer-Center atop the team standings at the 16th annual Heritage Conference Championships at Thomas J. Maddill Athletic Field on Tuesday.

As the top two 1,600 relay teams in the conference, Ligonier Valley and Homer-Center runners knew they were facing a winner-take-all situation.

“They wanted it to come down to the four-by-four,” Homer-Center coach Matt Rodkey said of his athletes. “I think every track coach probably hopes that at some point, it comes down to the 4-by-4, and we’ve just had the good fortune about the Continued on Page 18

Penguins oust Caps with OT victory

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — A three-goal lead gone — and his team’s momentum right along with it — Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan provided a reminder heading to overtime of Game 6 of a relentlessly entertaining playoff series against the Washington Capitals.

Keep skating. Play fast. Be confident.

It’s all about fans and their superstitions TONY COCCAGNA

Tony Coccagna is sports editor at The Indiana Gazette. Email: tonyc@indiana gazette.net.

As fans, we know it’s all about us.

Although we’ll probably never hit a home run, make a basket or score a goal in a big-time venue, it’s all about us.

It’s all about what we do that determines the outcome of the games we love.

At least we like to think so.

We wear our lucky shirts, eat the same pregame meals, sit in the same spot to watch the games … whatever we have to do, we’re determined to get the job done for our team.

Of course, none of it matters in the big picture, but it is important for us to think it does. In the end, at least we’ll know we did all we could do.

We’re a superstitious bunch.

Me, I’m super-superstitious, and

I’m the reason the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.

Here’s why: Where I live, in northern Westmoreland County, my cable television provider, Comcast, lost its signal to the NBC Sports Network, the outlet for Tuesday night’s game.

Early in the second period, the screen froze for about 30 seconds, and then it went dark.

Frantic, I muttered a few choice words, grabbed my keys, ran out to the street, hopped into the car and turned on the radio. (I don’t have one in the house, which will soon be rectified.)

A couple minutes later, the Capitals’ Brooks Orpik took a double-minor penalty for high-

sticking a gash in Patric Hornqvist’s face. The Penguins scored twice in short order on a power play that had been mostly dormant in the series to take a 3-0 lead.

I stayed in the car for the rest of the period, which ended with a 3-1 advantage for the Penguins, and then went inside.

The cable was still out, so I got on the Internet, queued up the live stream and got ready to watch the third period on a small screen. The stream, though, runs about a minute behind the telecast, and that’s no fun. Fortunately, the cable came back on just before the start of the period.

So I settled back into my spot on the couch (yes, same seat for every Continued on Page 21

Lions win first girls track title

By MIRZA ZUKIC

moz@indianagazette.net

ARMAGH — The United girls’ track and field team made school history Tuesday night. Just as importantly, the Lions earned a banner, too. For the first time in the 16year history of the Heritage Conference Track and Field Championships, the United girls claimed the team title. After watching other schools celebrate conference titles in their stadium year after year, the Lions finally got to celebrate a title on their home track at Thomas J. Madill Athletic Field. “That (lasts) forever, so they made history tonight,” United girls’ coach Chris Matava said.

But as excited as the Lions were about making history, they were equally elated about the banner that will hang in the high school gymnasium.

The Indiana Gazette QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Let’s ask again, are we now in the Kyle Busch Era? GODSPEAK: If Martin Truex Jr. did not have to pit to fix a loose wheel, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

KEN’S CALL: I’m still hedging, but to be safe, I’m adding M&M’s to my nutritional pyramid.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM GOBOWLING.COM 400

Is Gibbs Racing becoming the new top dog in NASCAR? As we sit here right now, yes. Joe Gibbs has four drivers and teams, and you don’t have to strain to imagine any of those four crowned as champion in Homestead this year. Hendrick Motorsports, not so much. You can obviously call Jimmie Johnson a threat. Chase Elliott is a future threat. Junior Earnhardt’s window won’t be open forever.

And Kasey Kahne, well, that hasn’t exactly panned out.

Do you like the new All-Star Race gimmick?

GODSPEAK: The All-Star Race needs help, stat! The cure?

Move it to different tracks.

KEN’S CALL: Yes, I’m for anything that promotes possible bedlam.

No big schedule changes for 2017. Surprised?

GODSPEAK: Kudos for releasing it this early; relief for drivers that Talladega 2 is not a make-or-break Chase race.

KEN’S CALL: Not really. None of the current issues are due to scheduling problems.

So, all hail Gibbs Racing?

Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota created a ripple of concern among drivers when his three-wide move near the end of the race at Kansas caused a multicar accident. There was no initial contact that sparked the incident, only airflow. AP/ORLIN WAGNER

1. Aero mystery

2. Lap leader

3. Kyle’s numbers

The cars of Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski never touched, but the aerodynamic effect of three cars racing through a turn was enough to spin their cars off the track.

“The air just spins everybody out,” Keselowski said. “It’s hard to explain because you can’t see it.”

His luck is so bad, other competitors feel sorry for Martin Truex Jr. and his No. 78 Toyota race team. Truex led a race-topping 172 laps at Kansas and finished 14th.

“We’re going to win races for sure. If we keep bringing cars like that, we’re going to win some,” Truex said.

Kyle Busch made his 17th Cup start at Kansas last weekend and scored his first victory there while becoming the fourth Joe Gibbs Racing driver to win at that track.

Busch now has eight wins in his past 32 Cup starts and became the first driver this season to win three races.

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Monster Mile

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Keselowski

It may be only a mile long, but Dover International Speedway and its concrete surface is a quick and dangerous race track. The turns at either end of this true oval are angled at 24 degrees, allowing drivers to keep momentum during the course of a lap. Last year’s pole speed for this race was over 160 mph. Tire wear is a constant concern and requires strict tire management by drivers. Are you scared yet?

2. Kenseth’s slump Matt Kenseth has broken free of his top-five slump thanks to fourth-place finish at Kansas. Kenseth has led 10 percent of laps run this season and seen several victory opportunities vanish before his eyes. It started in

BRAD KESELOWSKI VS. DENNY HAMLIN: Hamlin went three-wide up the middle between Keselowski and Kyle Larson.

the Daytona 500 when he was cruising to the checkered flag but got jumped by teammate Denny Hamlin on the last lap.

Kenseth finished 14th that day. “We seem to be getting closer,” Kenseth said of his team.

3. Stewart rising Tony Stewart, who will turn 45 on May 20, is making his way up the Cup points standings after his No. 14 Chevy

finished sixth at Talladega then 12th at Kansas. Stewart, who will retire at the end of this season, is just 59 points away from the top-30 cut line for Chase eligibility. He has 15 more races to win a race and get in the 16-driver playoff field. Stewart missed the first eight Cup races with a preseason back injury.

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR AAA 400 DRIVE FOR AUTISM WINNER: Martin Truex Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Dale Earnhardt Jr. FIRST ONE OUT: Brian Scott

For now, go ahead and jump on the Gibbs Steamer. But keep in mind, his four Cup titles are still seven fewer than Rick Hendrick’s. And with the modern Chase format, the best teams throughout the entire season are hardly guaranteed to get a real shot at the championship. Gotta be good and lucky at the right time in autumn.

A 12th-place at Kansas used to end with Tony Stewart hurrying out of town frustrated. Now it’s called progress. Not sure whether we should be happy or sad for him.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Drivers were on their best behavior after all that contact at Talladega. This was a strange aero effect caused by Hamlin’s aggressive move. Keselowski got the worst of it.

JAMIE EMPFIELD/Gazette

UNITED’S EMMA ARBLASTER placed third in the long jump with a leap of 14 feet, 10¾ inches Tuesday at Thomas J. Madill Field in Armagh.

United girls take first conference title

Continued from Page 15 “I’m very excited about that. All of the other sports in our gym have a nice banner, and then there’s a hole for girls’ track team,” sophomore Michaela Bracken said. “Now it’ll be filled with two titles for this year.”

“At our banquet maybe two years ago, because somebody said where are the banners for the girls’ track team, I just said, within five years, we’ll have one,” Matava said. “But I kind of knew what we had coming up.”

Bracken was one of the athletes who was “coming up” at that time. As a sophomore this season, she has budded into a star and one of the top hurdlers in District 6.

Bracken won three individual events Tuesday to lead United, sweeping the 100and 300-meter hurdles while also winning the 100-meter dash. She set a meet record with a time of 45.75 seconds in the 300 hurdles.

“The last two meets, she ran 45s, and she’s still stuttering a little bit over a few hurdles,” Matava said. “If she hits a perfect race, I don’t know what her ceiling is going to be. She is phenomenal. I can’t say enough about the girl. She works hard, her work ethic is good and she is so competitive.”

Daeva Simmons won the conference title in shot put, and Ryleigh Ludwig won the 3,200 for the Lions.

“This is a really big deal for the team,” Ludwig said. “It makes it feel a lot more special that we’re the first team to also do it.”

“That’s so amazing. I’m so excited about that,” Simmons said. “I’m sure everyone else is, too. It’s just so incredible. Mr. Matava is such a good coach.”

On its way to the team title, United rolled up 131 points, just enough to withstand a formidable challenge from Marion Center. The Stingers finished second with 125 points, and two-time defending champion Ligonier Valley was a distant third.

Leading Marion Center’s charge was junior Taya Whitfield, who won three individual events — 400, 800 and 1,600 — to join Bracken as the only multi-event winners.

Whitfield also ran the opening leg on the Stingers’ first-place 1,600 relay team. The quartet of Whitfield, Madison Vincent, Mariah Sinan and Emily Risinger won with a time of 4:10.11 and broke the meet record by more than 5 seconds.

The Stingers also won the 3,200 relay to open the meet, Hanna Beer claimed an individual title in javelin, and Risinger won the 200 as Marion Center racked up six first-place finishes on the day.

Yet, it wasn’t enough for the team title, and United’s steel-eyed determination was a key factor.

“Sometimes, you get nervous and tight and you don’t perform well when the

pressure is on,” Matava said, “but all season, they ran relaxed and performed unbelievably all season. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and knock on wood, we were injury free for the most part, and that plays a big part in it.

“But they still had to do it, and they had to perform on the track. (Marion Center coach) Mark (Magolis) put together a great lineup for them, and he moved some kids around, and made it very challenging for everybody. But that’s what the championship is about. That’s what he did, and I made some moves, and our kids came through.”

For the fourth straight season, Saltsburg won the 400 relay, with the quartet of Michaela Simpson, Ialiyah Hudson, Jenna Beitel and Aleisha Clayton taking first in a meet-record time of 52.16.

Ligonier Valley dominated the jumping events. Olivia Miller claimed the conference title in the long jump (15-7), Rachel Horrell won the triple jump (35-3½), and Brittany Finger cleared 4-10 in the high jump to earn her first conference title.

Homer-Center’s Aubree Newhouse won the discus title (104-8), and Northern Cambria’s Katelyn Yahner cleared 9-0 in the pole vault to win.

Coming off Friday’s impressive fifthplace team finish at the West Central Coaches Meet in Altoona, United carried the momentum over to the conference meet.

But it was the Lions’ balanced performance Tuesday that pushed them past Marion Center for the team title. United was the only team to total double-digit points in each of the six categories of events: sprints, distance, hurdles, relays, throws and jumps.

On top of that, the Lions got some points in unexpected places, and it all added up to a championship.

Matava expected a slew of points from the likes of Bracken, Ludwig and Emma Arblaster, and he got them. It was some of the Lions’ less heralded athletes who provided the winning points.

“The big spot was in the shot put,” Matava said, referring to freshman Regan Tomalson’s fourth-place finish. “That was huge. The 200 finish, with (freshman Hannah Brown getting) second place there, was huge. A fifth-place in the 3,200 (for freshman Sasha Walls). The high jump, with Hannah Rensko. The kids just did things. You expect Bracken and Ludwig and Arblaster to do well, but these other girls just came through today with no pressure. That’s a tribute to them.”

“This year, we have one or two strong girls in each event, which is what really brings the team together to win this title,” Bracken said. “We work great as a team, and I’m just so happy. We actually got fifth at West Central, out of 31 teams. We’re doing really good for a small school like us, so I’m hoping that we can do just as well at districts.”

Continued from Page 15 last five, six years to have had some success in the 4by-4. … I’ll tell you what, those boys came through.

Everybody ran their best or just a couple tenths off their best split tonight. They knew going into it that we were down one and it all came down to the 4-by-4, and what more can you ask for?”

“We knew what was at stake as soon as that (3,200) was over,” Ireland said. “As soon as that two-mile was over, we knew we were down by one point. Butterflies just hit. And once that happens, it felt like districts from two years ago when we went to states. We’ve had this atmosphere before with good 4-by-4 teams and we just knew, there’s no losing in this event. There is no losing.”

Ireland’s lead was never threatened on the final lap, and Homer-Center won the relay event as well as the team title for the first time since 2002, in the infancy of the Heritage Conference.

Making up the rest of the Wildcats’ title-clinching relay were seniors Ben Wolford, John Capitosti and junior Jesse Beacker.

The Wildcats totaled 125 points to finish a point ahead of Ligonier Valley in the tightest-contested conference meet to date. Twotime defending champion Northern Cambria finished third with 92 team points.

Individually, the usual suspects racked up the majority of the points for Homer-Center.

Capitosti and Sam Cunkelman each won a pair of events, and Wolford got in on the act with a conference title in the triple jump with a winning jump of 41 feet, 5½ inches.

“These three seniors are so driven,” Rodkey said. “I couldn’t ask for better kids. I couldn’t ask for harder workers. If I told them to go run through that wall and that would make them run faster, they would do it. …

And they step up when they have to, when their backs are against the wall. And I think that’s how our community is down there. We always compete with a chip on our shoulder. … I think those kids really take that to heart. They have a lot of pride in their school and their community, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Yet, despite the seniors’ success, it was the Wildcats’ unheralded underclassmen who scored the most crucial points Tuesday.

Freshman Zach Zelensky took sixth in the 3,200meter run, scoring a crucial point while keeping Ligonier Valley off the scoresheet for that event. And earlier in the meet, Zelensky came out of nowhere to take second in the pole vault.

“I knew that it would be a big point, but I didn’t realize it would be for the win,” Zelensky said. “I knew I had to place to give us at least a

chance to win. I feel like I did contribute. Obviously, everyone else did everything they could, and just a whole team victory.”

Shortly after the final team standings were announced, his teammates surrounded Zelensky and began an “MV-P” chant.

“Zach Zelensky taking second in the pole vault was something that really, really put us over the edge,” Rodkey said. “I thought he could get us a point or two in the mile and the two-mile. The pole vault, we had Zach and Tyler figured to be maybe fifth. And then Zach goes and PRs. There’s a freshman stepping up. … These guys are chanting MVP; well, he truly was. We do not win that meet without Zach Zelensky. He deserved it.”

Cunkelman won conference titles in the 1,600 (4:43.15) and the 800 (2:02.22), while Capitosti won the high jump (6-0) and long jump (19-9).

Marion Center senior David Wiles won the 3,200 (10:04.45) and beat Cunkelman to prevent the HomerCenter sophomore from winning three individual titles. Not that it bothered Cunkelman much.

“It’s great. I don’t even really care about myself right now,” Cunkelman said. “I’m just thinking about the team win.”

It’s the second big team win for the Wildcats, who had won the Indiana County Meet 17 days earlier for the first time since 1973.

Now, they’ve ended another long title drought.

“It’s been a great year,” Rodkey said. “These three seniors that are on that relay team, John Ireland, John Capitosti and Ben Wolford, their sophomore years, they made it to states in 4-by-4. …Their junior year, there were injuries, there were some just minor things that went wrong, and I truly believe that they appreciate this more. They’ve worked harder because they’re leaving nothing to chance, and that really motivated them that they didn’t achieve what they wanted to their junior year.”

Northern Cambria sprinter Chris Rippen was the only other athlete to win multiple events and one of three Colts to win individual titles.

Rippen won the 100 (11.50 seconds) and the 200 (23.30), John Paronish won the 300 hurdles (43.29) and Michael Sclesky won the shot put (42-10) for the second straight year.

Saltsburg’s Jerry Moore won the discus (132-5), and Purchase Line’s Sam Stanford took the javelin title (164-0). Ligonier’s Joseph Tomosky won the pole vault (12-0), and Avery Arnone claimed the title in the 400 (51.40).

Ligonier Valley’s 400 relay team of Zack Beitel, Josh Fitz, Alex Marsh and Jackson Daugherty set a meet record with their winning time of 44.88 seconds. Purchase Line won the 3,200 relay.

HOMERCENTER’S Ben Wolford won the conference title in the triple jump Tuesday.

Indiana advances to WPIAL team tennis championship Continued from Page 15 “Our second doubles team, we kind of let them on an island, out on the bubble (Weng and Brice played on a different indoor court) on their own,” he said. “I didn’t really see what they did, but we had a bunch of guys out there cheering for them, and that probably helped them, in terms of staying up. … But three points was all we needed and that’s what we got.”

Appolonia, a senior, cruised by Eli Loncar, 6-1, in the opening set, before allowing the resilient junior to come on late in the second set and score a 7-5 win.

But Appolonia regained his confidence early in the third set and maintained it the rest of the way to claim a 6-1 win.

Appolonia also bested Loncar, 10-5, in the opening round of the

WPIAL singles tournament on April 11.

“In individual matches momentum really matters, and John’s match was a good example of that,” Palko said.

“John was up a set but he got behind in the second set and really couldn’t right the ship, but the third set he got a chance to start all over again. And that’s the key in the longer, closer matches is to figure out how to maintain momentum from set to set. That’s something a lot of players struggle with, but John figured it out today.”

A few minutes after Appolonia gave Indiana a 2-0 lead, Brice flicked a shot that caromed off of the top of the net and bounced in front of Noah Schultz for matchpoint in a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 win that sealed the victory for Indiana.

Brice talked about what he called the turning point in the match.

“When we had the third set 2-2, Yongjie had the serve and we knew we could beat their next server up, so we basically had a three-line firing squad coming on,” Brice said. “We said, ‘We’ve got to get these three games and then we’ll be set.’ We went up 5-2, and right there we were ready to go against that kid (Anthony DeRose) with the nice serve. If we got it we’d win it right there, and if we didn’t we’d go back to Yongjie’s serve and get the win.”

One of Indiana’s most consistent players, Bujdos, put the Indians on the board first by schooling Hopewell junior Alex Pfeifer, 6-0, 6-1, in just under 45 minutes.

Pfeifer played in the WPIAL doubles tournament this year and led

the Vikings to a third-place finish in last year’s WPIAL tournament and their first berth in the state tournament.

Hopewell’s Turner Wilson and Anthony Bove defeated Mitchell Lewis and Badi Zhou, 7-6 (4), 6-4, in the No. 1 doubles match, and Miles Collins outlasted Indiana’s Kellen Short, 3-6, 7-6 (4), 1-0 (103), in a back-and-forth No. 2 singles match.

The Indians finished 6-8 last year (fifth place in their section) and didn’t qualify for the playoffs.

Indiana’s starting lineup includes two first-year players in Weng and Lewis, a first-year varsity player in Bujdos and a second-year player in Brice. The Indians also lost one of the most productive returning members of the team, sophomore Giaco Gentile, due to an injury for the season.

“No,” Palko said with a laugh when asked if he envisioned the Indians advancing to the WPIAL championship match at the beginning of the year. “I probably thought we were a legitimate contender for the section championship, but I never circled in my head that we’d get the number two seed in the WPIAL tournament and earn a trip to states.”

“It took a combination of things to get us here,” he said. “We were actually able to practice this year, which helped immensely, and the senior leadership on this team is just fantastic. I’m also fortunate that I have two assistant coaches, and girls’ players that come to our practices to help out. That allows us to have really intense practices where we get a lot done, and I believe that’s where the kids evolved the most this year.”

ORIOLES 5, TWINS 3: Adam Jones broke out of a long slump in a big way, delivering the go-ahead, tworun single in the ninth inning after a towering homer in the fifth to lead Baltimore over skidding Minnesota.

Manny Machado also went deep while going 3-for-3 with two walks to raise his batting average to .365, and Zach Britton earned his eighth save for the Orioles. Kevin Jepsen (2-4) intentionally walked Machado in the ninth to get to Jones, who made him pay.

Trevor Plouffe homered and drove in three runs for the Twins.

RED SOX 13, ATHLETICS 5: Mookie Betts, Hanley Ramirez and Travis Shaw each homered and Boston continued its strong hitting with a victory over Oakland.

But those were the only costly mistakes made by Wade Miley (3-2), who allowed four hits over six-plus innings in winning his third straight decision.

Tampa Bay had two runners on with two outs in the eighth, but Nelson Cruz made a sliding catch of Souza’s fly ball down the right-field line to end the threat.

INTERLEAGUE CARDINALS 8, ANGELS 1: Matt Carpenter homered twice, including a leadoff shot on the fifth pitch of the game, and St. Louis had nine extrabase hits in a rout of Los Angeles.

Bryce Harper came up as the potential go-ahead run in the ninth, but closer Francisco Rodriguez intentionally walked the NL MVP to put two men on with one out for cleanup hitter Zimmerman. Rodriguez struck out Zimmerman swinging, then got .402-hitting Daniel Murphy to fly out for his eighth save.

BLUE JAYS 4, GIANTS 0: Troy Tulowitzki homered and drove in three runs, J.A. Happ allowed five hits in 8 2-3 innings and Toronto beat San Francisco for its sixth victory in eight games.

CENTER TOWNSHIP — Blairsville went into Tuesday’s game against rival Homer-Center with a chip on its shoulder.

The Bobcats had already lost to the Wildcats once this season and felt like they were being overlooked in the race for the conference championship.

It took a battle, but Blairsville changed that Tuesday by edging HomerCenter, 2-0, in eight innings in a Heritage Conference baseball game at First Commonwealth Field.

With the win, the Bobcats (13-3) gained the inside track to the conference title with two league games remaining.

“It’s always good to beat anybody on their home field, but we’re really happy about this one,” Blairsville’s Dylan Dirienzo said. “We needed to beat them. It’s definitely a big win, and we’ll try to feed off this one for the next couple games.”

Both teams were 11-2 in conference play entering Tuesday’s game.

“This isn’t for the conference championship,” Homer-Center coach Scott Bauer said. “We still — and they still — have games left.

It’s just another game, and that’s kind of how we approached it. It’s always a good game between Blairsville and Homer. They have good athletes and we have good athletes. It’s never easy. We figured it was going to be a dogfight, and it was.”

The game was scoreless through seven innings due to strong pitching and solid defense from both teams.

In the top of the eighth, Dirienzo and Tyler Moran hit back-to-back singles to left field to put runners on second and third. Moran advanced to second on the throw to third from the outfield. Max Hrebik followed with an RBI single to left that scored Dirienzo and moved Moran to third. On the next pitch, Moran scored on a passed ball to give the Bobcats a 2-0 lead.

The Wildcats failed to get a hit in the bottom of the inning.

“The pitch before, Coach told me on any ground ball, we were going to try to score,” Dirienzo said of scoring the go-ahead run. “I saw it get through the hole, and it was pure enjoyment.

I couldn’t have been happier.”

Zach Olechovski threw seven innings, allowing no runs and five hits to pick up the win. He struck out four and walked three. Dakota Sunday pitched the eighth for Blairsville.

Homer-Center’s Alex Arone struck out 10 and walked none in a completegame effort.

“Zach has been throwing

well,” Blairsville coach Mark Zerfoss said. “Today, he was definitely ready to go. He threw extremely well. But I have to take my hat off to Alex Arone, too. He threw a great game. It was a pitchers’ duel. Both of them threw a heck of a game.”

Arone retired nine straight batters before Dirienzo’s hit in the eighth.

He also allowed five hits.

“He did a good job of keeping them off balance,” Bauer said of Arone. “He’s pitched in some really tough games this year, and we’ve put him in some tough positions against really good teams. So even though his record doesn’t show it, he’s probably our top guy for a reason. He’s calm, cool and collected out there and mixes his pitches well. He’s mentally tough, and that’s what you need in a game like this.”

Both teams had opportunities but were unable to string enough hits together to plate any runs. The Wildcats got a leadoff double in the first inning from Matt Alexander and had runners on first and third, but failed to capitalize.

Alexander went 2-for-3 to lead Homer-Center (12-4).

Sunday smacked a double for Blairsville.

The pitchers worked their ways out of jams, and the defense continuously backed them up. HomerCenter turned two double plays in the game, and Blairsville had no errors.

“Our defense was solid, and our defense has been pretty solid all year,” Zerfoss said. “The two games we lost were the two games we didn’t play well defensively.

The guys have confidence, and I have no problem putting anybody out there on defense. Tonight, obviously they stepped up and played flawless with great defense.”

It was the Wildcats’ second extra-innings loss in as many days. Homer-Center lost to Portage, 6-5, in nine innings on Monday.

“These late-inning losses, we have to find a way to flip it around and come out on top,” Bauer said. “These guys played 17 innings in the past two days. We’re just going to put all this experience to use. These types of games will pay dividends in the playoffs. We’re thinking big-picture here.”

Blairsville is also working toward the playoffs, but refuses to think about it just yet. The Bobcats first want to take down Purchase Line and Northern Cambria and clinch the conference championship.

“One game at a time,” Zerfoss said. “That’s why you play the game because you never know what happens. We’ve been snake-bitten before by teams that are — on paper — not as good as us, so you can’t take any game for granted.”

PIRATES at REDS: Postponed

Hurdle shows faith in batting order

By JOE KAY

AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — Manager Clint Hurdle likes the Pirates’ lineup so much that he doesn’t want to break it up.

He chose to start David Freese at first base for the first time this season and bat him leadoff — John Jaso’s spot — for a game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. The game was postponed after a 55minute wait because of steady rain, so the Pirates didn’t get to see how it would work out.

Hurdle’s decision was a reflection of his faith in his everyday batting order. He wanted to start Freese at first, and instead of moving everyone else in the order around, he just plopped Freese in Jaso’s spot at the top of the lineup.

“Right now, I just like where every-

body is,” Hurdle said.

The game wasn’t immediately rescheduled. Both teams decided to bump their rotations back a day for the final game of the series today, staying with their original starters for Tuesday. Juan Nicasio (3-3) will face Alfredo Simon (1-3).

The lineup hasn’t been a problem during Pittsburgh’s recent slide — six losses in eight games, including a 3-2 defeat in the series opener on Monday night. Pittsburgh’s starting outfield of Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco has batted a combined .360 during the past four games.

Heading into Tuesday’s games, Pittsburgh’s outfielders ranked first in the majors in batting average (.298) and third in slugging percentage (.492). Overall, the Pirates were tied for the NL lead with a .280 team average.

McCutchen has a five-game hitting streak, and Marte has four straight multihit games. He’s gotten at least two hits in five of his seven games against Cincinnati this season.

The pitching has been more of the problem for the Pirates. Pittsburgh ranks ninth in the NL with a 4.23 staff ERA. The starters rank seventh at 4.16, but the bullpen is 10th at 4.33.

In his previous start against the Reds on April 29, Nicasio allowed three hits in seven scoreless innings and struck out a season-high eight batters for a 4-1 win.

Simon went a season-high 7 2-3 innings and gave up three runs in a 9-5 win over the Brewers on Thursday.

He became the second Reds starter to go seven innings this season. He’ll start in place of Tim Adleman, who has made only two career starts.

NOTE: Hurdle said Jaso was healthy, but was just going to get a day off.

Mesoraco to undergo six-month rehab

By The Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco had surgery Tuesday on his left shoulder, which was damaged worse than expected.

He’ll have a six-month rehabilitation program.

Mesoraco, a Punxsutawney native, started feeling pain in his non-throwing shoulder the first week of the season. He played in only 16 games, bat-

ting .140 with one double and one RBI. Manager Bryan Price said doctors found that the damage to the labrum was worse than first thought, extending his anticipated rehab by a couple of months.

The 27-year-old catcher was an AllStar for the first time in 2014, when he hit 25 homers and drove in 80 runs. A sore hip limited him to 23 games last season and required surgery. He was the starting catcher on opening day.

BRIEFS From Gazette wire services

Curry named league’s first unanimous MVP OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry is the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season.

The Golden State Warriors superstar is the 11th player in NBA history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard to do so since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 voters from the U.S. and Canada.

He was followed in the vote Tuesday by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

In a stunning overtime performance Monday night, Curry showed exactly how he can take over a game in a matter of seconds. He returned from a sprained right knee to score 40 points — and 17 in overtime — in a 132-125 win at Portland to put his team up 3-1 in the Western Conference semifinals.

Thunder rally to take 3-2 series lead over Spurs SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Westbrook had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the San Antonio Spurs 95-91 on Tuesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Kevin Durant added 23 points as the Thunder won for the second time in San Antonio in the series. Oklahoma City can close out the series Thursday in Game 6 at home.

Westbrook sealed the victory with a three-point play with 6.3 seconds remaining, scoring after the Spurs weren’t able to foul him intentionally and he drove for a layup while being fouled.

Kawhi Leonard finished with 26 points for San Antonio, which lost at home once in the regular season and has dropped two straight there now.

Brady releases $200 cookbook FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — It looks like a $200 price tag couldn’t keep Tom Brady’s fans from gobbling up the Patriots quarterback’s new cookbook.

The TB12 Nutrition Manual features 89 recipes and is described on the four-time Super Bowl champion’s website as being printed on 100-pound text paper with covers made from natural wood that include laser etching.

Brady has posted a picture from the book on his Facebook page, calling it “another step toward achieving your peak performance.” Recipes include avocado ice cream and carrot cake.

The book can be taken apart and expanded. The description on the site says anyone who buys it will receive additional pages with new or modified recipes.

It’s listed as sold out and a note says more may be available early next month.

Manchester United bus attacked at West Ham game LONDON (AP) — Manchester United’s hopes of Champions League football took a battering in a 3-2 defeat at West Ham that followed an attack on the visiting team’s bus as it arrived for the match.

Objects were thrown as the bus pulled up outside the stadium for West Ham’s last-ever game at the Boleyn Ground, ahead of its move to the Olympic Stadium next season. Video footage showed damage to sections of the tinted external windows, while a police officer and a member of the public were injured.

Inside the ground, Winston Reid headed a late winner to give West Ham a victory that left United in fifth place in the standings, two points behind Manchester City with one round of matches to play.

Kickoff was delayed by 45 minutes.

Kimetto makes himself unavailable for Olympics NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Marathon world-record holder Dennis Kimetto won’t run at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics after making himself unavailable for Kenya’s team.

Two-time London Marathon champion and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Wilson Kipsang also asked not to be considered.

Eliud Kipchoge, winner of this year’s London Marathon in a course record and the second-fastest time ever, will lead Kenya’s men’s challenge in Rio. He’s joined by Stanley Biwott and Wesley Korir on the team announced Tuesday. Cyprian Kotut and Bernard Kipyego are reserves.

Jemima Sumgong is on the women’s team after her victory at the London Marathon last month. Helah Kiprop and Visiline Jepkesho were also selected, with reserves Mary Keitany and Florence Kiplagat.

Germany defeats Slovakia in hockey world championships ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Germany beat Slovakia 5-1 at the hockey world championship, which also saw Danish defenseman Jesper Jensen taken to hospital after hitting his head against the glass in a game against Switzerland.

Jensen was caught by a hard check from Switzerland’s captain, Andres Ambuhl, early in the third period of the game in Moscow.

“Jesper is currently being examined at the hospital but we have not yet received any diagnosis from our team doctor,” Danish team spokesman Claus Christensen told The Associated Press.

Switzerland went on to beat Denmark 3-2 in overtime.

Pens’ turnaround comes full circle

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Mike Sullivan’s tenure with the Pittsburgh Penguins began with a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Dec. 14 that seemed to offer little hint of the turnaround to come.

At the time the Penguins were adrift, buried in the Metropolitan Division standings and seemingly in real danger of missing the postseason for the first time in a decade.

Five months later they’re one round away from a spot in the Stanley Cup finals.

The group that finished off a 4-3 victory over the Capitals in overtime of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night hardly looks like the one that entered January in need of a serious wake-up call. These Penguins have been soaring over the last two months and head into a showdown with Tampa Bay in the conference finals with some serious momentum after ruining another promising spring in Washington.

Count Capitals coach Barry Trotz among the converted.

“I thought they did a really terrific job down the stretch being the hottest team in the NHL and it carried over to the playoffs,” Trotz said. “I think they’ve got a shot at it.”

It’s one the Penguins have earned by gravitating toward the blunt, driven and relentless Sullivan, who was promoted

from the club’s AHL affiliate to replace the professorial Mike Johnston. Following those early struggles, Pittsburgh began “playing the right way,” a pet phrase Sullivan manages to sneak into nearly every one of his answers.

By Sullivan’s definition, that means turning every game into a track meet on skates and relying on a roster that has become far more than just stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The two franchise cornerstones combined for four points (one goal, three assists) against Washington and it didn’t matter. The line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel put up seven goals and 10 assists during six taut games against the Presidents’ Trophy winners, including Bonino’s tap-in from in front 6:32 into the extra period.

“It shows the depth of our team,” Bonino said. “We’ve had it all year. We’ve had not as (much) scoring from Sid and Geno but (other) lines chipping in at the right times to get the job done. That’s the playoffs.”

Of the 16 goals scored by the Penguins during the series, 14 were collected by players not on the roster when general manager Jim Rutherford took over in the summer of 2014. Rookie goaltender Matt Murray, who doesn’t turn 22 until later this month, is 7-2 since making his playoff debut in Game 3 of a first-round series against the New York Rangers.

Sullivan opted to stick with Murray over veteran Marc-Andre Fleury following a loss in Washington in Game 5, and Murray re-

sponded with 36 saves, including three in overtime that bought his teammates enough time to bury the winner after the Penguins blew a three-goal lead over the final 22 minutes of regulation.

“Giving up two goals in the third period is never what you want to happen,” Murray said. “I was so proud of how the entire (team) stuck with it. We never panicked and we dominated in overtime so that says a lot about us.”

The Lightning — who have been impressive in dispatching Detroit and the New York Islanders — await. Tampa Bay swept the season series from the Penguins, winning all three games by a combined score of 15-9. The last of those meetings came on Feb. 20, just before Pittsburgh put all the pieces together. The Penguins are 27-9 in the interim after beating Washington for the eighth time in nine playoff meetings.

“It’s a good team, a good series,” Malkin said. “Three overtimes. I like playing against Washington. It’s a tough team. We have more confidence right now.”

And the Penguins have their health, too.

In 2011 they faced Tampa Bay in the opening round of the postseason without Crosby or Malkin, both out with injuries. Pittsburgh took a 3-1 lead in that series before everything crumbled. In many ways, that suddenly feels like long ago.

“It’s a bit of difference, right?” said Kessel, acquired in July from Toronto. “I’m happy to be here. We have a great group here.

We’re going to just keep working.”

It’s all about fans and their superstitions Continued from Page 15 game) and watched the third period.

I should have stayed in the car.

The Penguins gave up one goal to make it 3-2, and then we suffered through that odd sequence when they cleared the puck over the glass three times in two minutes, the resulting penalties setting up the Capitals for the game-tying goal.

Sensing disaster, I started to write a column about how the Penguins gave away the game, and the series with it, because there was no way they were going to recover from this. The game was going to overtime, but the Capitals certainly had all the momentum. Game 7, and the end of the playoffs for the Penguins, was imminent.

Then the Penguins got lucky. The cable went out again, just before the start of overtime.

I threw up my arms, grabbed my keys again, told my wife to turn on the porch light when the cable came back on, bolted back to the car and turned on the radio just as overtime was getting under way.

The porch light came on a couple minutes into overtime, but I wasn’t going back inside. I was determined to stay in the car as long as necessary.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long.

The Penguins dominated play in overtime, and Nick Bonino scored 6:32 in for a 4-3 victory that closed out the series.

I scrambled inside to watch the replay of the game-winning goal and the Penguins

and Capitals go through the handshake line.

So there you have it.

It was all about me.

I put the Penguins in the driver’s seat.

And that might be where we stay for the rest of the playoffs.

Now, some parting shots: • Welcome back, Brooks Orpik. All the experts said you would have an impact on the game in your return from your threegame suspension for that high hit on Olli Maatta in Game 1. You certainly did by taking that double-minor that resulted in two goals for the Penguins. That’s one more power-play goal than the Penguins had in the first five games of the series.

• Maatta, who struggled earlier in the playoffs after returning following an injury that kept him out of the last nine games of the regular season, played for the first time since the Orpik hit and was pretty solid.

He registered an assist on the first powerplay goal.

• Fitting that the Phil Kessel-Bonino-Carl Hagelin line accounted for the game-winning goal. They have formed the Penguins’ best line over the last three months and have combined for 30 points in the playoffs.

• What are the chances that a team shoots three straight clearing attempts over the glass? It has to be pretty high. Call it unlucky. Call it undisciplined. The Penguins were fortunate to survive.

• The Penguins have benefited from lots of secondary scoring in the postseason.

Now it’s time for the stars, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, to put up some big numbers.

• 45-0. That’s the Penguins’ record this season when they take a lead into the third period.

• After dispatching the Presidents’ Trophy winners, the Penguins now get the Tampa Bay Lightning, the defending Eastern Conference champions. Two fast, skilled teams will burn up the ice.

• Capitals coach Barry Trotz is a class act.

He was composed and complimentary in what had to be a difficult postgame interview after his team was eliminated.

• GM of the year: The Penguins’ Jim Rutherford, who was under fire at this time last year. Then he signed Eric Fehr and Matt Cullen as free agents and acquired Kessel, Bonino, Hagelin, Trevor Daley and Justin Schultz in trades. That Kessel deal is looking pretty good now, isn’t it?

• Coach of the year: The Penguins’ Mike Sullivan. He isn’t one of three finalists, two of whom are no longer in the playoffs, but has anyone done a better job?

Hired before the season to coach the Penguins’ AHL affiliate in WilkesBarre/Scranton, he was promoted Dec. 12 to replace Mike Johnston. He took over a team that was floundering outside the playoff picture and made them a Stanley Cup contender.

Penguins oust Capitals with overtime win Continued from Page 15 Eight times the post-series handshake line has ended with Pittsburgh celebrating while Washington trudges toward the offseason.

“It’s just kind of setting in right now that it’s over,” Beagle said. “We had high expectations. The Cup was our goal all year and unfortunately we didn’t (make it).”

Thanks in part to an inability to keep Bonino, Hagelin and Kessel in check. While Washington kept Pittsburgh stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin under wraps — they combined for all of four points in six games — the Capitals struggled to keep up with one of the fastest lines in the league.

Kessel scored twice and helped set up the winner. Hagelin added a goal and two assists, including the shot that allowed Bonino to send Consol Energy Center into a frenzy.

“I thought we did a really good job on Crosby and Malkin the whole series, but a lot of the other people hurt us,” Washington coach Barry Trotz said.

T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and John Carlson scored during Washington’s comeback, one completed after three straight delay of game penalties against the Penguins gave one of the league’s best power plays enough time to tie it up.

Chris Kunitz, Ian Cole and Bonino all flipped the puck over the glass from the defensive zone in a span of 2:02, a sequence that led to Carlson’s fifth playoff goal, a shot that bounced and skipped by Murray to provide another compelling twist in a series that lived up to — and perhaps beyond — its billing.

“It was the worst feeling I think I ever had in hockey when I whacked the puck out of play,” Bonino said. “Then Cole did it after (Kunitz) did it. That’s something you’ll never see.”

Sullivan tried to remain upbeat in the dressing room before the third overtime game of the series.

“What we talked about was taking a deep breath, not changing what’s happened and letting it go,” he said. “These guys to their credit have done an amazing job of not allowing any sort of ebbs and flows of the game to affect them.”

It’s that resiliency that allowed the Penguins to recover from a shoddy start that cost coach Mike Johnston his job in midDecember.

Pittsburgh ended the regular season as the hottest team in the league and has now cruised through two rounds by relying on the supporting cast general manager Jim Rutherford has cultivated behind his stars.

All but two of Pittsburgh’s 16 goals during the series were scored by players who were not on the roster when Rutherford replaced Ray Shero two summers ago.

That group includes Kessel, acquired from Toronto last July to take some of the scoring load off Pittsburgh’s two franchise cornerstones, who teamed with Hagelin and Bonino to easily form Pittsburgh’s best line in the series while combining for seven goals and 11 assists.

“It shows the depth of our team,” Bonino said. “We’ve had it all year.”

And in the playoffs, the Penguins remain Washington’s tormentor. The Capitals have just four wins beyond the second round of the postseason in franchise history after another promising spring ended abruptly.

“We made some progress but obviously not enough,” Trotz said. “We need to get through this round. That’s part of the deal.

That will always be thrown at us until we get through that.”

NOTES: Washington defenseman Karl Alzner left in the first period and did not return shortly after getting slashed by Crosby. ... Holtby finished with 37 saves. ... The Penguins went 2-for-3 on the power play.

The Capitals were 2-for-6. ... The Penguins scratched defensemen Justin Schultz and Derrick Pouliot following Maatta’s return.

Trump set as guest on Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fox TV special â&#x20AC;&#x153;I HAVE NOTHING to prove. I think the American people know I can be plenty tough on any political candidate, and this is not going to be about proving anything to anybody.â&#x20AC;?

By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Megyn Kelly sits down with Donald Trump for her prime-time special on the Fox broadcasting network, the Fox News Channel host hopes to call a truce to the war waged by the presumptive Republican nominee since he began slamming her after last Augustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican debate, where he was galled by her tough questioning as one of its moderators.

Being targeted by Trump has helped raise her profile and boost her star power, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but none of that takes into consideration the downside of being in Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross hairs,â&#x20AC;? she said during a recent interview with The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year of security guards and closed blinds.

I hope this interview will be a chance to clear the air in front of the American public, to get it over with, then move on.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to be venturing from the harder-edged format of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kelly File,â&#x20AC;? where she has reigned since 2013.

Airing Tuesday at 8 p.m.

EDT, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megyn Kelly Presentsâ&#x20AC;? is produced by veteran Barbara Walters collaborator Bill Geddie, with Waltersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most Fascinating Peopleâ&#x20AC;? specials as its model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not Barbara,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but this is an opportunity to have a different kind of conversation than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to.â&#x20AC;?

Those conversations will include actor Michael Douglas, a cancer survivor whose health has been an object of concern in recent media reports. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking good,â&#x20AC;? reported Kelly.)

She will also talk with Robert Shapiro, famously part of O.J. Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense team for his murder trial.

Megyn Kelly

VICTORIA WILL/Invision

MEGYN KELLY will host a prime-time special Tuesday that includes a discussion with guest Donald Trump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in law school when that case was being tried, and I was riveted,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly, who practiced law before getting into TV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that I think O.J. Simpson is innocent. But it was great lawyering by Shapiro. To me, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rock star.â&#x20AC;?

Also on tap: Laverne Cox, the transgender activist and actress who appears on Netflixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orange is the New Blackâ&#x20AC;? and who, said Kelly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;puts a human face on a group of people who are still maligned, in many parts of the country, with impunity.â&#x20AC;?

But the main event will be Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting with Trump, whose tirades against her have included a sneering reference on CNN to her menstrual cycle and tweets dismissing her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;light-

weightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;second-rate.â&#x20AC;?

Speaking with a reporter recently in her cozy Fox News office, she declined to share details of the interview, but took pains to say she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seeking a rematch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand that this is not a presidential debate.

This is an interview,â&#x20AC;? she said, then smiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me put it this way: I have nothing to prove. I think the American people know I can be plenty tough on any political candidate, and this is not going to be about proving anything to anybody.â&#x20AC;?

Detente began last month when Kelly had a private one-on-one with Trump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little nervous to go into Trump Tower that day, because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect. But from the moment I entered his

office, he could not have been nicer. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t awkward, but there was nothing acrimonious between us. It felt like a journalist talking to the candidate about the race.

We did not touch on anything about us. We did not touch the dust-up. I asked him for an interview. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think it over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had wanted to reach out to Trump since (the first debate in) August,â&#x20AC;? she went on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I kept waiting for him to not be angry. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say yes, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be a good interview, if he was still angry. And just when I would think he was past it, he would start up again. Then in April, there was a two-week lull, so I reached out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking to move be-

yond the acrimony on his end,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has never been on my end.â&#x20AC;?

This new TV venture airing on (for her) a new network serves as a reminder that Kelly is no stranger to new challenges. Is the time nearing when she might hanker for a challenge that takes her beyond the Fox orbit?

She is a blend of glamour and gravitas perhaps unmatched by any other TV newswoman today, with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vanity Fairâ&#x20AC;? cover and a show (airing weeknights at 9 p.m. EDT) that ranks second in all cable news, behind only Fox Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly Factorâ&#x20AC;? with an average audience of 2.5 million viewers. She could expect a warm welcome by either of the cable-news networks trailing Fox News, or

by most any other TV news outlet. Her contract reportedly is up in mid-2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with Fox,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Fox News Chairman and CEO) Roger (Ailes) has taken very good care of me for 12 years. So I think it would be tough to leave him. But having said that, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the future will bring. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fickle business and anything can happen.â&#x20AC;?

In the more immediate future, Kelly is keen to do a follow-up Fox special, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing a book due out this fall, and stays busy with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kelly File,â&#x20AC;? where, she says, she feels a higher calling than the cage-match style of much of cable-news talk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want ideas to be exchanged and fleshed out,â&#x20AC;? she explained before voicing an idyllic mission statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to present cool water. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told my team many times is: I want the show to feel like cool water on a hot brain, a pleasant news-consumption experience.â&#x20AC;?

Having said that, she realized she was overdue to get ready for that nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put me on TV like this,â&#x20AC;? she said of her offcamera look â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on this day, boots, jeans and a tuxedo jacket over a white T-shirt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I have to get my bells and whistles. They need to dress it up a little.â&#x20AC;?

Letters to campers can be tricky

By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Putting pen to paper in this easy age of email, texting and phones means that parents, as well as their little campers, are flexing dormant muscles when they attempt to communicate.

That can make for stiff or uninspired letters.

“Children do not get letters from their parents anymore and it is very different from an email. You really have to think about what you are writing. You go to a quiet place in your mind, and each sentence is full of meaning and feeling, versus an email that is quickly typed and sent,” said Hugh Haller, chief executive of the Camping and Education Foundation, which owns two wilderness-focused summer camps in northern Minnesota.

“Our campers live and die to get letters from home. It is a monumental thing to come back from a trip after being away in a canoe for two weeks and there is a letter from your parents,” he added. “But we always try to tell parents that when they do write letters to be very encouraging and supportive of what kids are doing, and not talk about home.”

Keep the gushing about fabulous trips and outings without kids to a minimum, camp directors and consultants agreed, and think hard about when and how to share bad news from the home front, such as a death in the family.

Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Mo., has hosted more than 300,000 campers, from every state and several countries, since 1926. As at many camps, personal technology is not allowed, so letters are the only way parents communicate with kids, said Collin Sparks, the Christian camp’s executive director of ministries.

He recommended asking questions about camp rather than talking about home life. Try not to create homesickness where there is none, or where there might be just a tinge of it.

“Parents’ words play an integral part in homesickness, a big concern for firsttime camp moms and dads,” he said.

Rather than even hint that life is oh-so-much fun without them, parents should keep campers of all ages up to date on things their kids love, Sparks suggested. Send them a sports score on their favorite team, or encourage them to talk about how they tackled a new sport or activity.

Denise Wilson in Brooklyn has two kids, a 12-yearold daughter and a 14-yearold son. Both are seasoned campers.

“My daughter has told us she does not like hearing about the good times she might be missing,” Wilson said. “We generally focus on telling funny anecdotes about our day, news about her brother, the dogs.

Something that makes her laugh but nothing that she would want to have taken part in.”

While a few questions are fine, Wilson has found that too many can make her kids feel pressured to write back more often than they would like. Another pitfall, she said, is heavy-handed disapproval or reprimands.

“I know one parent whose child was a bit overweight and she kept reminding her not to eat too many sweets,” she said.

Instead, try prompting a camper to describe new camp friends. Or try a corny joke. Parents and camp administrators alike suggested enlisting other loved ones too to pile on the letters.

Don’t overreact to news in campers’ letters that might seem worse than it is.

Dottie Reed, head administrator of Camp Pemigewassett, a boys’ camp in the

The Indiana Gazette

White Mountains of New Hampshire, recalled a firsttime, 11-year-old camper who wrote home to his parents: “I don’t want you to lie, but can you just call camp and tell them someone died and you need to come get me?”

The parents didn’t, she said. The boy ended up working through his homesickness and attending the camp for four more years.

Mom Cynthia Flash, of Bellevue, Wash., had a mishap when attempting to entertain her son in letters when he was a first-time camper at age 8. She wrote him a fictional, serialized story about their new dog, Hannah, who was adopted several weeks before he left for camp.

She included one short chapter in each letter; in Chapter 4, the dog ran off, but only temporarily. The first thing out of her son’s mouth when he stepped off the bus at the end of camp was: “‘Did you find Hannah?’” He had shed tears worrying about his new pet.

“I asked if he had read all the letters. Of course he hadn’t. He was too busy playing soccer and baseball,” Flash said. “When he got home I noticed that many of the letters weren’t even opened. The only one he read was Chapter 4.”

A look at detergent, oil, vision savings DEAR MARY: I have been making and using your concentrated laundry detergent for several years now, and I love saving that money.

But sometimes I end up with lots of white, chunky solids at the bottom of the container.

Am I Email doing questions or something tips to wrong mary@every when I daycheap mix the skate.com or detergent Everyday with hot Cheapskate, water? — 12340 Seal Jean Beach Blvd., DEAR Suite B-416, JEAN: This Seal Beach, CA crystal90740. lization that forms after a while is perfectly normal and harmless. I usually go through a gallon of this concentrate so fast that the crystallization doesn’t have a chance to happen. But when it does, I use it up just as if it were still in liquid form. No harm, no foul. I find that if I shake the detergent well each time I use it the crystallization is less pronounced. If this is a huge problem for you, you could easily halve the recipe to make ½ gallon of liquid detergent concentrate at a time.

And although you did not ask, but because others

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE will, our homemade laundry detergent is HE compliant, meaning it’s suitable for use in high-efficiency washing machines. It is completely sudsless — which is required for use in low-water volume machines — provided you use a very small amount (2 tablespoons to ¼ cup maximum).

DEAR MARY: I was totally shocked to read in your recent column, “Cast Iron Skillets Making a Healthy Comeback,” that the best oil to use to season a cast iron skillet is flaxseed oil.

Flaxseed oil has a smoke point of 225 F, after which point the oil begins to smoke, producing harmful free radicals. What is author Ellen Brown’s reasoning for using flaxseed oil?

— Debbie DEAR DEBBIE: Ellen Brown, author of “The New Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook,” explains on Pages 9-10 that while there are a dizzying array of methods for seasoning a skillet, flaxseed oil is the most ideal. Flaxseed oil, which is high in hearthealthy omega-3 fatty acids, is the only edible cousin of linseed oil, which has a similar chemical structure. Linseed oil is what woodworkers and sculptors have used for centuries to give wood a lovely patina. Artists also mix it into pigments of oil paint. Linseed oil and flaxseed oil are termed dry-

ing oils, which means they harden into a polished finish. Again, flaxseed oil is the only drying oil that is edible. Free radicals are actually what enable the polymerization.

Drying oils, which produce the hardest polymers, are characterized by high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.

Flaxseed oil is not shelved in most supermarkets with the cooking oils. Rather, it’s sold as a dietary supplement because of its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. Chances are you’ll have to go to a health food store to buy it, or you can find it on Amazon. It is fairly expensive, but you don’t need very much of it. One bottle, devoted to maintenance of your cast iron skillet, will last a very long time. I suggest you make the effort if you are serious about turning your cast iron skillet into your most beloved piece of cooking equipment.

By the way, not every brand of flaxseed oil has the same smoke point. It depends on how it is extracted and filtered. I suggest you take a look at Alligga Organic Flaxseed Cooking Oil, which has a high smoke point of 482 F. Alligga has no additional chemicals, additives or preservatives, which allows for the high smoke point. You can safely use Alligga flaxseed cooking oil to season your cast iron, saute, bake and roast.

CAUTION: I mentioned lin-

seed oil above. Do not under any circumstances assume you can run to the garage and grab that old, dusty can of linseed that has been sitting there for decades and use it to season your skillet to fry up some eggs. LINSEED OIL IS NOT EDIBLE. Take the time to find certified organic, food-grade, cold-pressed, unrefined flaxseed oil.

DEAR MARY: Thank you for telling us about DentalPlans. Is there any possibility that something like this exists for vision care?

—Carl DEAR CARL: There is and a very good possibility! Actually, many of the insurance companies now offering these Dental Savings Plans (which I wrote about in “Dental Savings Plans Will Put a Big Smile on Your Face”) include and/or offer companion savings plans for vision care, hearing and pharmaceuticals. But remember, dental savings plans are not dental insurance, and nor would vision savings plans be vision insurance or prescription medication savings plans be medical insurance.

Minnesota doctor saw Lack of experience makes Prince, prescribed drugs woman reluctant to commit

By AMY FORLITI and STEVE KARNOWSKI

looking into whether Prince died from an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death. The law enforcement official has been briefed on the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Schulenberg is the second doctor whose name has surfaced in the investigation. Last week, a lawyer for California addiction specialist Dr. Howard Kornfeld told reporters that Prince’s representatives had contacted Kornfeld seeking help a day before the superstar was found dead on April 21.

On Tuesday, a sheriff’s car and about a dozen unmarked vehicles entered the gates of Paisley Park.

Asked what investigators were doing, Carver County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud told the AP that they were “being thorough.”

Kamerud declined to answer questions about the warrant that names Schulenberg, saying it was supposed to be sealed.

Kamerud also said that after the contents were made public, he contacted a court administrator to en-

Associated Press

CHANHASSEN, Minn. — A Minnesota doctor saw Prince twice in the month before his death — including the day before he died — and prescribed him medication, according to contents of a search warrant that were revealed as authorities returned to the musician’s suburban Minneapolis estate as part of their investigation into what killed him.

Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg treated Prince on April 7 and April 20, and he prescribed medications for the musician, according to the warrant, which was obtained Tuesday by at least two news outlets before authorities moved to ensure it was sealed. Investigators interviewed Schulenberg and searched a suburban Minneapolis hospital where he worked. The warrant did not specify what medications were prescribed or whether Prince took them.

Schulenberg’s attorney, Amy Conners, declined to comment late Tuesday, citing patient confidentiality.

A law enforcement official has told The Associated Press that investigators are

sure the warrant was sealed.

The warrant was carried out last Thursday at North Memorial Medical Center in the Minneapolis suburb of Robbinsdale.

Lesa Bader, a spokeswoman for North Memorial Medical Center, said Schulenberg was a primary care physician at its Minnetonka clinic but that he no longer works for the health care system. She declined to say why. No one answered the door at the doctor’s home on Tuesday and phone messages left for him weren’t returned.

Schulenberg’s April 7 treatment of Prince came the day he canceled shows in Atlanta citing illness.

During his return home on April 15, his plane made an emergency stop in Moline, Ill. The law enforcement official who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity said Prince was found unconscious on the plane and that first responders gave him a shot of Narcan, which is used in suspected opioid overdoses.

Schulenberg told a detective that he was dropping off some results of tests that had been performed on Prince when he came upon the death scene, according to the warrant.

I’m not saying I want to sleep around with random men, but I would like to experience intimacy with someone else so I won’t wonder “what if” when I am older and married.

Am I wrong for this? — CONFUSED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONFUSED: I

DEAR ABBY

don’t think you are “wrong,” but your question does make me wonder whether you are ready to settle down. If your sex life were as fulfilling as you would like it to be, you wouldn’t be asking if you are wrong for wanting more.

Level with your boyfriend about your feelings to see if you can work this out.

However, if the answer is no, then both of you may want to move on.

DEAR ABBY: We are friends with a couple who married five months ago.

My husband, “Ian,” was one of the groomsmen, so we were deeply involved with wedding details a long time prior to the wedding.

Ian and the groom, “Claude,” are now on the same team at work.

Since the wedding, Claude spends a lot of time talking about his wife to anyone within earshot and on social media to the point of excess.

(The bride is “perfect, beautiful, lovely” and he’s “so lucky to be married to her,” etc.)

Everyone on the team works overtime every night because Claude posts love notes to his wife all day.

The team supervisor talked to my husband about it, and asked him to cover Claude’s workload because of his pre-wedding and now post-wedding bliss.

I have filtered the guy’s posts and stopped reading, but Ian feels stuck in the middle at the office. He needs Claude to get his head back in the game and work.

How can my husband gently communicate that this is affecting Claude’s job performance and driving everyone batty?

Ian is afraid that if he complains to the supervisor, his friend will feel betrayed. — OVERLOADED IN ALABAMA DEAR OVERLOADED: The matter should be brought to the attention of their supervisor so the supervisor can handle it before it becomes a morale problem.

What’s going on is unprofessional and unfair to the other team members.

The supervisor should tell Ian’s besotted friend that the time he’s spending messaging his bride has increased the workload on everyone else, the honeymoon is over, and he needs to get his mind back on the tasks at hand.

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, May 11, the 132nd day of 2016.

There are 234 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 11, 1946, the first CARE packages, sent by a consortium of American charities to provide relief to the hungry of postwar Europe, arrived at Le Havre, France.

On this date: In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant arrived in New Amsterdam to become governor of New Netherland.

In 1816, the American Bible Society was founded in New York.

In 1858, Minnesota became the 32nd state of the Union.

In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded during a banquet at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

In 1935, the Rural Electrification Administration was created as one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal programs.

In 1945, the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill was attacked and severely damaged by two kamikaze aircraft off Okinawa; according to the U.S. Navy’s website, 346 men were killed, 43 were left missing, and 264 were wounded.

In 1953, a tornado devastated Waco, Texas, claiming 114 lives.

In 1960, Israeli agents captured Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In 1973, the espionage trial of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo in the “Pentagon Papers” case came to an end as Judge William M. Byrne dismissed all charges, citing government misconduct.

In 1981, legendary reggae artist Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital at age 36.

In 1985, 56 people died when a flash fire swept a

jam-packed soccer stadium in Bradford, England.

In 1996, an Atlantabound ValuJet DC-9 caught fire shortly after takeoff from Miami and crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all 110 people on board.

Ten years ago: Lawmakers demanded answers after a USA Today report that the National Security Agency was secretly collecting records of millions of ordinary Americans’ phone calls; President George W. Bush sought to assure Americans their civil liberties were being “fiercely protected.”

A priest was convicted in Toledo, Ohio, of murdering a nun; the Rev. Gerald Robinson was immediately sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the 1980 death of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.

(Robinson died in a prison hospice in 2014 at age 76.)

Former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson died in New Paltz, N.Y., at age 71.

Five years ago: Former hedge fund titan Raj Rajaratnam was convicted by a federal jury in New York in an insider-trading case of five counts of conspiracy and nine of securities fraud.

(Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years in prison.) Two earthquakes struck southern Spain in quick succession, killing at least nine people, injuring dozens and causing major damage to buildings.

One year ago: Joyce Hardin Garrard, the Alabama woman convicted of running her 9-year-old granddaughter, Savannah Hardin, to death as punishment for lying about candy, was sentenced by a judge in Gadsden to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The NFL came down hard on its biggest star and its championship team, sus-

pending Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady for the first four games of the season, fining the New England Patriots $1 million and taking away two draft picks as punishment for deflating footballs used in the AFC title game.

Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Mort Sahl is 89. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is 83.

AN OCCASIONAL GADGET OCCASIONALLY HELPS Sir Winston Churchill said, “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”

That applies to bidding conventions — and not only the results, but also frequency. This deal features a transfer into a minor over a one-no-trump opening.

The frequency is not high, but when one does arise, it can result in an accurate auction. How do three no-trump and five clubs by South fare?

North’s two-spade response was a transfer to clubs. His three-spade rebid

indicated a singleton (or void) in that suit.

(With four spades and long clubs, North would have responded two clubs, Stayman.)

South was torn at this point. Perhaps they had nine instant winners for three notrump, but his single spade stopper was worrying, and his controls (three aces and one king) were great for a high-level club contract if partner had a solid or semisolid suit.

Here, if South had bid three no-trump, he would have gone down, assuming West led the spade queen. When South actually bid four clubs, North settled for game with his minimum.

West led the heart jack. South won with his ace and ran the club nine, losing to East’s jack. Back came a heart to dummy’s queen.

Declarer crossed to his hand with a diamond, then led his second trump.

When West played low, should South have called for dummy’s eight or king?

The percentage play was the eight. If East had the club queen-jack, he might have won trick two with either honor.

But with the acejack, he had no choice.

Declarer should assume East’s play was forced.

Congress to decide Rousseffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate

By PETER PRENGAMAN and RENATA BRITO Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When a measure to impeach Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was introduced to Congress late last year, the possibility that she would actually be removed from office seemed remote.

The charges against her were obscure, not the variety that spurs outrage: She is alleged to have broken fiscal rules in her handling of the federal budget to hide deficits and bolster an embattled government.

The allegations also came with a good dose of irony: Her main opponents in Congress are accused of crimes much worse.

Yet, what started as a long shot bid has gained momentum and, as the Senate prepares to vote today on whether to put her on trial, many analysts consider Rousseffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ouster all but a foregone conclusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dilma will be impeached for a variety of reasons,â&#x20AC;? said Marcos Troyjo, a professor at Columbia Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of International and Public Affairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the possibility of her coming back is zero.â&#x20AC;?

If a simple majority of the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 81 members vote to take up the impeachment measure, Rousseff will be suspended from office while a trial is conducted within the next 180 days.

In the interim, Vice President Michel Temer will take over. A conviction, requiring a two-thirds vote, would remove her permanently. Brazilian newspapersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; polling of senators has found that around 50, many more than necessary, plan to vote for a trial. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear that all of those would also vote to convict her. A tally by the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo suggests that so far only 41 senators are willing to remove Rousseff from office permanently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 13 short of the number needed.

The expected Senate action comes after the lower Chamber of Deputies voted 367-137 last month in favor of impeachment, an antiRousseff verdict so resounding that many Brazilians believe it will influence the Senate, where she has traditionally been seen to have more allies.

Rousseff has repeatedly called the impeachment drive a â&#x20AC;&#x153;coupâ&#x20AC;? because she has not been charged with a crime. She argues that previous presidents used similar accounting practices.

Despite being the legal basis for the case against her, however, impeachment has turned into a referendum on Rousseffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. Brazil is beset by a bevy of corruption scandals connected to her Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party and is struggling with its worst recession since the 1930s. The president also is criticized for an inability to negotiate with other politicians in a country where personal relationships are paramount.

Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla group member who became an establishment insider, rode the coattails of her once wildly popular mentor and predecessor as president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to win the presidency in 2010. Things were fine as the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest economy roared, and in 2014 she was reelected with 51 percent of the vote. But at the same time that prices for commodities that are the lifeblood of Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerging economy started tumbling, investigators began uncovering a multibilliondollar kickback scheme at Petrobras, the state oil company. Worst of all for Rousseff, many of the people implicated are top officials in her party. The continuing probe has led to the conviction of dozens of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite, from politicians to the former president of Obredecht, a major construction firm.

While Rousseff hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been accused of wrongdoing, many Brazilians hold her accountable because much of the alleged corruption happened during her administrations and those of Silva. The popularity of both has plunged.

Rousseff was chief of staff during Silvaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second term and before that she was minister of mines and energy, positions where she was in a position to know about the widespread graft

at Petrobras, her critics say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people involved abused and took advantage of the opportunity to steal money in an absurd way,â&#x20AC;? said Tiago Gomes da Silva, a 33-year-old standing in line at an unemployment office in Rio de Janeiro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This had to come to an end. And the actual government is directly linked to this.â&#x20AC;?

As details of the corruption have emerged the last two years, the economy has continued downward.

Gross domestic product is expected to contract 3.6 percent this year after an equally bad 2015. Both inflation and unemployment are around 10 percent and announcements of closures, from local factories to multinational chains like Walmart, have become commonplace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem in Brazil was the inflation,â&#x20AC;? Carlos Antonio Porto Goncalves, economics professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation,

said of Rousseffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first years as president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the government, to fight inflation, raised interest rates to extremely high levels so demand decreased, and the recession came.â&#x20AC;?

Mixed into it all has been Rousseffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to work with others. She is known for bluntness, and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the charisma or back-slapping chumminess that analysts say is often necessary to build consensus and make deals.
