GRIFFIN FIRED FROM CNN MYLAN MAY HAVE OVER- COMEY TO CONFIRM NEW YEAR’S EVE SHOW CHARGED US FOR EPIPENS TRUMP PRESSURED HIM

1

CNN said it has terminated comedian Kathy Griffin’s agreement to appear on the network’s annual New Year’s Eve broadcast after she drew strong criticism for posing in photographs with a fake severed head resembling President Donald Trump’s. CNN’s public relations department announced the decision in a Twitter post. Trump said earlier that Griffin “should be ashamed of herself” for the

photos showing her with a replica of a severed, bloodied head resembling his. “My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!” the president said in a Twitter message. The Secret Service has opened an inquiry into the posting of Griffin posing with the severed-head replica. REUTERS

The U.S. government may have overpaid drugmaker Mylan by as much as $1.27 billion between 2006 and 2016 for its EpiPen emergency allergy treatment, the Department of Health and Human Services said. The amount is nearly three times a proposed settlement that the company announced in October. The analysis on the EpiPen payments, which was conducted by the Department of Health and Human

Services’ Office of Inspector General, was released by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. Grassley is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which launched a probe of EpiPen pricing last year. The company said in October it agreed to settle with the U.S. government for $465 million after it was accused of improperly classifying EpiPen with the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as a generic treatment.

Former FBI Director James Comey plans to confirm reports that President Donald Trump pressured him to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s ties to Russia in congressional testimony, CNN said, citing an unidentified source close to the issue. The Senate Intelligence Committee said on May 19 that Comey, who was fired by Trump 10 days earlier,

would testify before the panel publicly at some point after Monday’s Memorial Day holiday. CNN said the testimony could come as early as next week. After Comey’s dismissal, news reports emerged that Trump asked Comey to end the Flynn probe during a February meeting in the Oval Office. REUTERS

NASA LAUNCHING PROBE FOR SUN’S ATMOSPHERE

A U.S. spacecraft set to launch next year will make a series of unprecedented dives into the sun’s scorching atmosphere to see how the star works and what can be done to better predict space weather events on Earth, scientists said on Wednesday. The Parker Solar Probe will have to survive temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371 Celsius), impacts by supersonic particles and powerful radiation

as it circles as close as 4 million miles to the sun. Data sent back to Earth some 89 million miles away will help scientists figure out why the sun’s atmosphere, or corona, is hotter than its surface. “We’re going to be seven times closer [to the sun] than any other mission has ever been,” project scientist Nicola Fox, with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland, said during a broadcast on NASA TV.

Your lunchtime walk down Walnut Street on Wednesday might have been a bit more titillating than usual. That’s because employees of Lush Cosmetics were almost entirely naked – stripped down to just their aprons – to demonstrate their opposition to the excess packaging, from plastic wrap to cardboard backing, that so often accompanies cosmetic products. “There is a lot of needless packaging in bath products, and this is a fun way to bring this important issue to light,” said employee Jenny Gaus, as her fanny felt the breeze on Wednesday outside the shop at 15th and Walnut streets. Her coworkers echoed

that theme. “We are trying to show customers that they do have other options,” said employee Toddy. “Thirty-five percent of our products are totally free of packaging, and the packaging we do have is environmentally friendly.” “By being naked, we are ‘package-free,’ and this draws attention to the waste in our landfills,” said employee Ryan Smith. Lush describes itself as an “eco-conscious” brand that avoids packaging and uses recycled materials when packaging is required, and some of their containers can be returned to the store and refilled. Plastic packaging is a major pollutant of oceans and accounts for an estimated 300,000 tons of floating litter. “We tend to go all the way for causes we believe in,” Brandi Halls, Lush’s brand director, said in a statement. “If flashing our bums inspires consumers and the industry to reconsider their packaging practices, then we’d say it’s definitely worth a few blushes.”

CASSIE HEPLER @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

Would you work for free? Thousands of aspiring models and actresses are expected to do this every day, hoping for that big break while building their portfolios. However, asking professionals with years of experience under their belts (ahem) is the biggest insult ever. We’ve paid our dues and expect compensation for years of struggle and strife. In my teens, I frequently daydreamed about being a model while pouring through fashion magazines. While at Penn State for journalism and dabbling in acting classes, a photographer reached out to see if I wanted to model based on my Friendster profile picture, and offered to pay me, and later set me up on OneModelPlace.

After college, I kept chasing the modeling/ acting dream. But see, the problem is, as a 5-foot-8 woman and a size 8-10 (depending on the week), I am considered plus-size or, as I like to say, normal size in real life. East Coast models’ plus-size starts around a size 8, while on the West Coast it’s a lot larger. “Plus” doesn’t mean fat – it means you are still in shape with weight evenly distributed but curvy. After moving to Philly, I modeled part time with the help of a new DIY modeling/acting website, Model Mayhem. My modeling jobs increased tenfold, I got some indie films under my belt (and some ridiculous videos of me as Alice in Wonderland getting slimed), and I went searching for representation. The Wilhelmina modeling agency in New York City called me, but I was too broke to go. Agency after agency expressed interest but didn’t offer work. I joined Mike Lemon Casting because who doesn’t belong to them?

Southwest Philly man arrested for death of his 6-week-old child Baby died from multiple traumatic injuries, police said. HAYDEN MITMAN @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

Philadelphia police have charged a 31-year-old Southwest Philadelphia man with homicide after his 6-week-old child died due to multiple traumatic injuries, police said. According to police, on Friday, at about 12:38 p.m., officers in the city’s 12th police district responded to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia after 6-week-old Omar Braxton-Cooper was brought into the facility. The child was pronounced dead just three minutes before the officers arrived at the hospital, police said.

Philly police reported signs of a ‘clandestine laboratory,’ much like the meth-cooking operations depicted in TV’s ‘Breaking Bad,’ pictured. COURTESY OF AMC

Police find chemical device in ‘clandestine laboratory’ in Manayunk

Omar Cooper. PPD

According to a law enforcement official, the child had “suffered multiple traumatic injuries throughout the body.” Upon further investigation into the child’s death, police arrested

the boy’s father, Omar Cooper of the 5800 block of Willows Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia, and charged him with homicide and related offenses in the death of his son.

Police officers discovered a “bucket of chemicals” with a timer attached to it, in what law enforcement officials called a “clandestine laboratory” in Manayunk on Tuesday. The incident has been “deemed to be non-criminal in nature,” a police spokesman said, but the police department’s Homeland Security unit is still

investigating. The chemicals were discovered around 7:09 p.m. on Tuesday, when officers in the city’s 5th police district were flagged down in reference to a suspicious object at a home along the 200 block of Roxborough Avenue in Manayunk. At that location, law enforcement officials said, the officers

discovered a bucket full of “chemicals” with a timer attached to it. According to the police, the fire board responded to the site and determined the bucket “was in the making of a clandestine laboratory.” Police have not commented on what the chemicals were. No injuries were reported. HAYDEN MITMAN

Man arrested at Trump’s Washington hotel after guns found in car The Secret Service said in a statement it also was investigating the incident but said that no one under its protection was ever at risk. A Pennsylvania man was arrested at President Donald Trump’s Washington hotel early on Wednesday after police found a rifle, pistol and ammunition in his car, a discovery they said may have prevented a disaster in the U.S. capital. Bryan Moles, 43, of Edinboro, was taken into custody shortly after checking in to the Trump International Hotel a few blocks from the White House, Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham

said at a news conference. A tipster had told the Pennsylvania State Police that Moles was traveling to Washington with weapons, and the information was passed on to the Secret Service and Washington police, Newsham said. “I believe that the officers and our federal partners and in particular the tipster coming forward averted a potential disaster here in our nation’s capital,� Newsham said. Moles was arrested without incident, the chief said. Asked about reports that Moles had made threatening remarks, Newsham said his motive was under investigation and there was not enough information to charge Moles with mak-

cers saw one of the guns in his car and found a second firearm in the glove compartment. Moles also had 30 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition and 60 .223-caliber rounds, the report said. He was charged with two counts of carrying a pistol without a license and possessing unregistered ammunition. Police spokeswoman Karimah Bilal had no information about an attorney for Moles. Trump’s hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, housed in a landmark former post office, has become a focal point for protests against the Republican president since he took office in January. REUTERS

It’s cool to be basic, y’all. Embrace it.

Pippa Middleton and James Matthews — two British people who, although rich, are not royalty — had the society wedding of the year

Or at least, that’s what Hello! Magazine wants you to believe — the site refers to the pair as “a daredevil couple� just because they “braved the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.� Not to brag, but I did that, too. And it’s not hard or adventurous. It’s basic AF. It’s literally just very slow walking.

You know what else is basic? Strolling around hand in hand in French Polynesia, which they did. Holding hands is basic! You know what else is basic? Starting your day off with a jog through Sydney’s historic Royal Botanic Gardens — which they did! Exercising is basic. What are you trying to be, healthy and better than the rest of us? Oh, you are? OK. Anyway, a happy continued honeymoon to these two. May it be everything that basics dream of.

I cried watching ‘Wonder Woman’ Geek Girl in Hollywood

JENNA BUSCH

legionofleia.com

By now, you’ve read the reviews of “Wonder Woman.” Even if you haven’t, you’re probably aware that it’s getting great ones. I was lucky enough to see the first press screening and go to the premiere, so I feel like I’ve had my emotional viewing, plus one where I was able to watch more critically. I loved it both times. As I said in my review, there are so many subtle things in it that will benefit from a rewatch. I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone, so this post will be spoilerfree (it will include things from the trailers though). I don’t want to go into plot detail, but I do want to talk about the impact it had.

VE O L

We’re so thrilled that “Wonder Woman,” starring Gal Gadot and in theaters June 2, is excellent. WARNER BROS. PICTURES

I cried. I’m not going to try to hide that. (Well, I did try to hide it during the premiere, but when I left, everyone else was crying, too.) To be able to see my childhood hero on the big screen, headlining

her own film — well, it was mind-blowing. I am not a crier by nature, especially not during films. This took me by surprise. So, without spoiling anything, here are some reasons why. First, after dressing

up as Wonder Woman as a little girl, having a Wonder Woman birthday party, learning her spin exactly from the TV series, writing chapters for a book about her, editing the book and covering women in geekdom,

beautifully. But in her fight scenes, she’s shot to look strong. Watch the scene where she’s about to go into battle in her Wonder Woman armor — she looks powerful, not sexualized. And yet she looks wonderful. (Sorry, not sorry.) Finally, that “save me” trope — you know, the one where the woman is superstrong until the very end when the guy rushes in to save her? It’s not there. Everyone helps each other, but she is the superhero. Wonder Woman is the strong one. She’s powerful, full of compassion, smart and determined. She is everything I always wished for as a kid. The fact that kids of all genders now have this film to watch — there go the tears again — means more to me than I can say. Please go see this film opening weekend (June 2) and show the studios that we need more.

you can see why seeing her might strike a chord. That’s a given, I guess. The second thing was: This Wonder Woman isn’t the same as every other superhero. You know what I mean — the characters that could just as easily have been men, angry and brooding, with dark revenge in mind. She wasn’t dark at all. Wonder Woman is joyous, powerful, naive about war (she’s never seen it in her lifetime), desperate to save everyone. In a way, it’s a child’s state of mind when they first learn about suffering. And watching her grow and still maintain that sense of purpose and optimism, despite what she’s seen — we haven’t had a superhero like that before. Third, she wasn’t shot to be sexy. Now, no one in their right mind would say that Gal Gadot is anything but hot, and she’s certainly shot

Philly Beer Week Kickoff Happy Hour

Where to celebrate National Doughnut Day No matter how you spell it, these doughnuts are worth cheating on your diet for. JENNIFER LOGUE @jenniferlogue

jennifer.logue@metro.us

No matter what time of year it is, a warm, tasty doughnut always hits the spot, and lucky for us, Philadelphia is chock-full of places to get your fix. From newer establishments serving up vegan doughnuts to businesses that have been in the doughnut business for decades, all of these spots should be on your radar. And forget the cronut — South Philly has the ultimate doughnut hybrid just waiting to be embraced by the masses.

Beiler’s Doughnuts These may be the most

exquisite doughnuts we’ve ever tasted. Made fresh and served hot, Beiler’s Doughnuts began at Reading Terminal Market 30 years ago and recently expanded to a second Philadelphia area location in University City. Their mocha creme is to die for as well as their banana creme. You can get a dozen for $10.99, which is quite the bargain considering how raved-about they are. 51 N. 12th St. 3900 Chestnut St. beilersdoughnuts.com

Federal Donuts Really in the mood for comfort? Get your fix in three different ways at Federal Donuts with their fried chicken, coffee and of course, donuts! Their hot fresh varieties include strawberry lavender, cookiesn-cream and cinnamon brown sugar. Feeling

a little fancier? Go for their more decadent flavors like blueberry pancake, triple chocolate and burnt caramel. 1632 Sansom St. federaldonuts.com

Dottie’s Donuts Love doughnuts but you’re vegan? Dottie’s Donuts has you covered. The popular West Philly shop attracts vegans and nonvegans alike with their soft, fluffy sweet treats. Flavor offerings range from lemon poppy to maple bacon to hibiscus to peanut butter creme. Selections vary depending on the day, so check out their Instagram to find out what’s on the menu. 4529 Springfield Ave. instagram.com/dottiesdonuts

Frangelli’s Bakery Open since 1947, this

South Philly staple makes fresh doughnuts daily and they have some pretty unique offerings. Want a cannoli and a doughnut in one? Try the Franolli, which is a doughnut sandwich with cannoli cream in the middle. Want an ice cream sandwich but with a doughnut? They do that too. 847 W. Ritner St. frangellisbakery.com

McMillan’s Bakery If you’re OK with driving 20 minutes outside of the city to New Jersey, McMillan’s Bakery in Westmont has been making fresh doughnuts daily since 1939. Try their glazed jelly donuts, cinnamon sugar and granulated creme — but really, you can’t go wrong at this place. 15 Haddon Ave. Westmont, N.J., facebook.com/mcmillansbakery

Dubbed the “official” Philly Beer Week garden, Uptown kicks off an extended happy hour from 2-6 p.m., featuring $4 drafts. That includes this year’s collaborative brew, Gravity Never Fails, a 5.8-percent ABV porter created by 2SP and Brasserie De Ranke. June 2, 2-6 p.m. Uptown Beer Garden 1735 Market St. Pay as you go facebook.com/UptownBeerGarden

Parks on Tap

Parks on Tap scoots over to Belmont Plateau this weekend, celebrating with a Roots 2 Rise-hosted yoga session from 6:30-7:30 (suggested donation: $10), followed up with a happy hour from 7-9 p.m. Half of all food and drink proceeds benefit the Belmont Plateau Alliance. June 1 Belmont Plateau, Army Road Pay as you go, parksontap.com

Sea Isle City Beer Festival For its fifth year, the festival boasts tastings from 60 craft breweries, noshes from Kix Lincoln Grill food truck and a concert from the Animal House Band — all with those shoreside views, of course. June 3, 1-5:30 p.m. Kix McNutley’s 63rd Street and Landis Avenue, Sea Isle City, N.J., $43, seaislecitybeer.com

in time for First Friday — Clay Fest gives participants the chance to take the wheel for a spin and make their own piece of pottery, all with the guidance of a teaching artist. Followed up with a claymation lesson in the afternoon, these all-ages workshops are best enjoyed in a group. June 2, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The Clay Studio 137 N. Second St. Free, theclaystudio.org

ArtWill Pop-Up Exhibit This First Friday pop-up art exhibit showcases student art from Al-Aqsa Islamic Academy, Southwark School and Rhoads Elementary School — all partner schools of ArtWell, a nonprofit and collective of artists devoted to developing art programs in underserved communities. The exhibit will be capped off with a poetry reading from teaching artists. June 2, 6-8 p.m. Jessica Eldredge Studio Free, jessicaeldredge.com FESTIVALS

Siempre Salsa at First Friday Jackie Fisher, executive director of the Philadelphia Dance Foundation, slides into her best dancing shoes for a round of free salsa lessons during this slightly unconventional First Friday celebration. Stick around after for live salsa music after, open to newbies and pros. June 2, 7 p.m. Piazza at Schmidt’s Commons 1001 N. Second St., Free, theschmidtscommons.com

Key of the north Indigo Beach Colony PERDIDO KEY RESORT MANAGEMENT

Head to Florida’s Panhandle for natural beauty and a great deal to see it all on Perdido Key. ED CONDRAN @MetroPhilly

letters@metro.us

When most folks think about the Florida Keys, the images conjured are of the most southern islands, such as Key West and Key Largo. However, there are some gorgeous keys in the most northwestern part of the Sunshine State. The best of both worlds can be found on Perdido Key, which sits just off the Florida/

Alabama border. The private-island feeling you’re looking for in a vacation is definitely present — perdido is Spanish for “lost,” after all. Yet it’s all less than half an hour from historic downtown Pensacola. The barrier island stretches 16 miles from the edge of Pensacola to Perdido Pass Bridge. The powdery white sand beaches and the rolling dunes are covered with seat oats and make this a pristine oasis along the rapidly developing Florida Panhandle. Perdido Beach is reminiscent of Saint Petersburg’s Fort Desoto Beach, which was one of Florida’s best kept secrets until magazines around the world gave

the national park considerable coverage in recent years. Nature lovers will find much to enjoy here. Like Fort Desoto, Perdido Beach is home to many species of exotic wildlife, including the endangered beach mouse and sea turtles. Perdido Key is a paradise for birders, with seagulls, skimmers, terns and pelicans sharing the white quartz sand and clear blue water alongside bathers.

Island eats For restaurants on the island, Flora-Bama should be at the top of your list. The charming dive bar, which opened more than a half-century ago, is a

local favorite. The seafood is as fresh as you’d expect; go spicy with the firecracker shrimp tacos, tossed in sweet chipotle ranch dressing with vinegar slaw and topped with lime sour cream. The Bushwacker cocktail will have you feeling the mellow island vibes. Hub Stacey’s offers an array of huge, inexpensive and delicious sandwiches. Messing with a classic is always risky, but Hub Stacey’s take on the Cuban sandwich subs in Gouda cheese and adds banjo ham to great effect.

Where to stay To have your own secluded slice of this island paradise, make

your home base one of the luxe condos run by Perdido Key Resort Management, which operates several properties on the island, from beachside cottages to luxury highrises. They also all have something you won’t find elsewhere on the island: a perks program called Keys to Fun. Think of it as an island-wide two-for-one promotion for golfing, deep sea fishing, sunset cruises, dolphin watching and even admission to the Waterville USA water park. Basically, if you’re going on a fishing tour, one person in your party sails free and only the other has to pay. Or, if you’d like a little alone time on your vacation, each mem-

ber of your group can experience a different attraction independently for free.

Back on the mainland If you’ve got the time, spend a day in downtown Pensacola. The National Naval Aviation Museum, the world’s largest, is free to visit, but sign up for a tour guide. More than 150 restored aircraft are on display, including the Que Sera Sera, which is the first aircraft to land at the South Pole. On the beach, climb the 177 steps to get to the top of the Pensacola Lighthouse, which offers a dramatic view of the Gulf Coast.

Walt Disney World has just opened its first new theme park area since the expansion of Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World back in late 2012. The new section, Pandora: The World of Avatar, is a natural fit into the jungle-themed world of Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando. Inspired by the world of James Cameron’s 2009 film “Avatar,” the attention to detail in Pandora is beyond belief. The floating mountains

will make visitors feel as though they are on another planet. Pandora also opened with two new rides. The first is a traditional dark ride, the slow, familyfriendly Na’vi River Journey that takes visitors on a gentle, musical journey through the Valley of Mo’ara. The more spectacular ride is Avatar Flight of Passage, where you glide on the back of a mountain banshee. There’s also a new canteen called Satu’li, and a bar called Pongu Pongu, both serving food and drinks themed to the film. But it’s at night when Pandora: The World of Avatar really comes to life with light shows in-

cluding “Rivers of Light” that finally premiered on Earth Day, April 22, 2017, after an almost yearlong delay. And count on the world of Pandora to grow: Director James Cameron recently announced that he is making four sequels to “Avatar,” with the first set to be released in December 2020. Elsewhere at Disney World, the Magic Kingdom also recently introduced its own new fireworks spectacular, “Happily Ever After.” Though Disney’s Hollywood Studios remains open, it’s undergoing a massive expansion to create new lands devoted to “Toy Story” and “Star Wars.”

Eagles position battles: Defensive end, wide receiver and offensive line The Eagles will see fierce competition at these three positions this spring and summer. LUKE MILLER @LukeFM7

sports@metro.us

It’s only OTAs, but it’s never too early to start speculating about who’ll be starting for the Eagles come Sept. 10 in Washington. The draft and free agency have shaken up the team and left new position battles in their wake, while some old competitions still exist. Here are three key battles to watch this summer:

Defensive end It’s strange to think about the defensive line as anything but a strength for Philadelphia. For just about as long as Eagles fans can remember, a fierce pass rush has been a fixture in Philly. But despite entering 2016 with Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Vinny Curry and Connor Barwin ready to run down quarterbacks, the team regressed. Curry in particular struggled, posting just 2.5 sacks, his lowest total since his rookie season. Enter the offseason and first round draft pick Derek Barnett and signing Chris Long. This remains a tremendous investment in the defensive end position one year after the Eagles invested $47 million in Curry. He is likely most in danger of losing playing time to

the new arrivals. Graham was named second-team All Pro in 2016 despite a seemingly low 5.5 sack total, showing recognition for his impact on games. Perhaps the player with the most opportunity lost due to the investment here is a different first round pick: Marcus Smith. Smith was finally able to get on the field and contribute in 2016, when he had as many sacks as Curry. But it’s hard to see him taking playing time from anyone discussed here, and starting OTAs as a no-show won’t help him at all.

Left guard and center For the second season in a row, these two spots seem the most open to competition on the offensive line. Jason Peters and Lane Johnson can be penciled in as the tackles, and Brandon Brooks has right guard nailed down despite the signing of Chance Warmack, who played the position with the Titans. At center, Doug Pederson has said Jason Kelce, who has started every game — when healthy — for the team since being drafted in 2011, remains the starter, and he has performed with the first team entering OTAs. Despite that, his 2016 performance and the Eagles’ ability to save $3.8 million by moving him has led to trade speculation, most notably with the Saints after their center, Max Unger, injured his foot. While center stays

constant, change is in the air at guard. Second-year pro Isaac Seumalo has been taking first team snaps at left guard, a position where he started four of the final six games in 2016 while Allen Barbre nurses an injury. If Seumalo is allowed to settle in at left guard, that

could become the clear future for last year’s third round draft pick, who has also been floated as Kelce’s natural successor at center. Stefen Wisniewski started six games at guard and played in all 16 last season after signing a one-year contract. He

from Alshon Jeffery and Jordan Matthews, and we know they’ll see their names at the top of the depth chart. But beneath them lies a free for all. Competition between three different groups: the veteran Torrey Smith, high-end draft picks trying to avoid being labeled busts Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham, and rookies Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson. Smith is looking for a resurgence after two dismal seasons in San Francisco. The Eagles are hoping he can be the deep threat his 17.0 career yards-per-reception suggest. Also up for that role are the two rookies, and the pick of Hollins has seen a lot of praise thrown the Eagles’ way. He’s a 6-foot-4 threat with enough deep speed to average over 20 yards a catch in college. Between Agholor and Green-Beckham, bet on the former. He’s off to a good start in camp while Green-Beckham is off to anything but. He’s also the Eagles’ homegrown talent rather than a bargain-bin trade, and they’ve always been privy to a bias where those players are concerned.

Is a deep playoff run in the near future for the Flyers? ERIC GOLDSTEIN @EricEsponda sports@metro.us

There are a couple of rooting interests for Flyers fans in this year’s Stanley Cup finals matchup between the Predators and Penguins. The obvious one is to pull for any team that is playing against hated Sidney Crosby and company. Watching coach Peter Laviolette, who guided the Flyers to their last Cup appearance in 2010, try to capture the second title of his career behind the Predators’ bench is another. However, Flyers fans wonder how long it will take before they’re rooting for their team in June. The bad news is the Flyers are still in rebuilding mode, have missed the playoffs in two of the last three years and appear years away from sniffing a deep postseason run. The good news is they either have some key pieces already in place or on the way from within their own minor league system or will arrive at

this summer’s draft. Here are five things that must happen for the Flyers to enter Cup contender status in the next three to four years.

1. Win big at the 2017 Draft The Flyers defied long odds – less than a threepercent chance – to land the second overall pick in what many experts have called a two-player draft. Regardless of whether they select gifted forward Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier, they need to hit a home run. Whichever 18-year-old they get better develop into a generational player, much like Connor McDavid and Austin Matthews have, and lead the team for the next 10-plus years.

2. Sign a sniper It doesn’t have to be this offseason but general manager Ron Hextall must eventually find that elusive 40-goal scorer to play alongside Claude Giroux or Mr. Second Overall pick. It’s a hole the organization has failed to fill since Jeff Carter was traded in 2011.

3. Find a No. 1 goalie

Thanks to minor league free agent signings and a bevy of draft picks, they have about six netminders from within the organization to assume the role. If one of them doesn’t pan out, then open the Comcast checkbook and sign a consistent and reliable goalie.

4. Develop their young defensemen The transition from rebuilding team to Eastern Conference champions will occur quickly if defensive prospects Travis Sanheim, Sam Morin, Robert Hagg and Philippe Myers turn out to be as talented, or even remotely as skilled, as rookie Ivan Provorov was this season. Add Shayne Gostisbehere, who should have a bounceback year, to the mix, and their blueline has the potential to be the envy of every team in the league.

5. Luck Whether it’s in the form of health, matchups or even a few fortuitous bounces, every team needs it before to hoist that silver chalice in the air.

Aries Finish what you start. The more you get done, the better you will feel. You’ll make an impression on someone who can make a difference to your future.

Libra Look over your papers and make sure you have everything in order pertaining to your home and contractual matters. A minute alteration can save you a bundle.

Taurus You’ll look at people and organizations in your community differently. Consider what you can do to help improve your life and make the world a better place.

Scorpio Collaborate with someone who brings out the best in you. An emotional talk will help solve any uncertainty you have concerning equitable terms.

Gemini Walk away from anyone who is a bad influence. Excessive behavior, deception and problems with youngsters, friends or loved ones can ruin your day.

Sagittarius Ask questions if you are confused or uncertain about what’s expected of you. Delays or poor directions will result in frustration while traveling.

Cancer Find a unique but practical way to do your job or present something you want to pursue. Your attention to detail and quality will gain respect and support.

Capricorn If something appears to be unrealistic or too good to be true, you need to back away. Put your time, effort and cash into something beneficial and tangible.

Leo An unusual perspective on an offer you receive will be based on ulterior motives. Don’t let someone do your thinking for you. Act on your own behalf and benefit.

Aquarius Make sure you see things clearly when dealing with relationships or emotional matters. Your vision may be marred by someone else’s inaccurate version of affairs.

Virgo Attending a networking event or getting together with peers you respect will help you gauge how best to move forward. An unusual partnership will motivate you.

Pisces It will be difficult to differentiate between truth and fiction. Try not to mislead someone who can alter your position or reputation. Stick to the facts. EUGENIA LAST
