Former longtime state senator expected to plead guilty to conspiracy

Mellow loss of pension uncertain

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Continued payment of former state Sen. Robert Mellow’s nearly $139,000 annual pension will be dependent upon whether the charges he’s facing are deemed to be “substantially similar” to any of the 22 state crimes that trigger a pension forfeiture, according to pension law. Federal prosecutors announced Thursday that Mellow, 70, has agreed to plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and tax evasion.

CASH ston “We applied pretty swiftly because of all the problems we had … If there wasn’t the $100,000 loan we would have had problems,” he said of the newly created Luzerne County Flood Recovery Loan Program to help business damaged by September’s flooding. “The quick infusion of cash really helped us get back on our feet.” The program is administered by nonprofit MetroAction of Scranton, which has been allocated $4 million of the $12.2 million in casino revenue targeted this year to help fund 19 Luzerne County projects.

It’s not known yet if the plea will affect his rights to an $11,579 per month pension, which he earned through his 40 years representing the 22nd Senatorial District. That decision will be up to the State Employees’ Retirement System, which will review court documents to determine if the charges warrant forfeiture of the pension. Under state pension law, persons convicted of any of 22 state crimes related to their public employment can be required to for-

WILKES-BARRE – A former superintendent in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District and a well-known Democratic Party leader are among the people who were allegedly victimized by attorney Anthony Lupas as part of a bogus investment scheme, according to court papers filed Friday. Leo Solomon of WilkesBarre, who served 18 years as superintendent before retiring in 1993, and the estate of the late James Lupas Bach, who headed the Luzerne County Democratic Party for 15 years, are among 10 plaintiffs named in a lawsuit filed by attorney Gavin Lentz of Philadelphia. Lentz filed a writ of summons against Lupas on behalf of his clients. A writ notifies a person he or she is being sued, but does not contain specific allegations. That information will be contained in a complaint filed at a later date. The suit joins a separate lawsuit filed Monday by attorney Ernest Preate of Scranton on behalf of three per-

A mild winter that’s ending with an early warm-up can be a great thing for sun lovers and folks with an aversion to the cold. But it can also cause some problems: • a potential for ruined fruit crops. • an early start for some allergies. • and the early appearance of some stinging insects. WNEP-TV Chief Meteorologist

Tom Clark said the winter of 201112 has been the third warmest on record for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Snow record for Alaska

Anchorage’s city dumps are close to overflowing with snow that may not melt. The Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Even by Alaska standards, this winter is unusual for the hardy residents of the state’s largest city. Near-record snowfall buried Anchorage neighborhoods, turning streets into canyons with walls of snow on each side. Thesnow’sweightcollapsedthe roofs of some buildings. Moose are fleeing into the city to get away from too-deep snow. And the city dumps are close to overflowing with snow that may not melt entirely before next winter. Love or hate it, some resi-

dents are hoping for more, at least another 3.3 inches. Then they could say they made it through the winter when the nearly 60-year record of 132.6 inches was broken. “I want it destroyed,” resident Melissa Blair said. “I want to see another foot and knock that record out of the park.” The extreme weather has not just struck Alaska this winter. It has also hit the Lower 48. The first three months of 2012 have seen twice the normal number of tornadoes. And 36 states set daily high temperature records Thursday. The Lower 48 had its fourth warmest winter on record, while Alaska had its coldest January on record. Two different weather phenomenon — La Nina and its northern cousin the Arctic Os-

Global warming could also be a factor because it is supposed to increase weather extremes, climate scientists say. “When you start to see the extreme events become more common, that’s when you can say that it is a consequence of global warming,” University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver said. Nearly 11 feet of snow has fallen on Anchorage this winter, forcing the city to haul away at least 250,000 tons of snow — or around 500 million pounds — to its six snow disposal sites.

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A Mechanicsburg man convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in prison has appealed his case to the state Superior Court. Izel Garrett, 20, filed the appeal Friday through his attorneys, Brian Corcoran and Allyson Kacmarski. Garrett and his brother, Isiah Garrett, 22, were convicted by a Luzerne County jury in December of five counts each relating to a robbery that left 30-year-

old Abdul Shabazz dead. Investigators say the brothers intended to rob Shabazz of $300 worth of marijuana in December 2010 in their father’s West Hazleton home WILKES-BARRE – A Pittston man was sentenced Friday to six days of time already served to 12 months in county prison on charges stemming from a case in which police say he used a wet towel to whip a 5-year-old boy. Ducarmel Louis, 29, of Carroll Street, was sentenced on a charge of simple assault by County Judge Joseph Sklarosky, Jr. Louis pleaded guilty

to the charge in January. Sklarosky said Louis must also serve four years probation. According to court papers, in March 2011, Louis was charged after a school nurse notified Luzerne County Children & Youth that a 5-year-old boy may have been the victim of child abuse. The boy told police that Louis would "whip" him with a wet towel because he was crying or got in trouble at school. The boy further told police that Louis would make him hold a heavy book if he didn’t do well in school, and he had been previously hit with a belt.

Luzerne County detective testifies that suspect saw victim before alleged murder

Stoss said he was with Calabro By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Arthur Stoss told investigators he was with Lillian Calabro the night prosecutors allege he killed her in March 2011, a county detective testified Friday. They went to a Pittston bar, to a friend’s home and then to purchase cocaine, Detective James Noone testified Stoss told him in an interview. But, Stoss told Noone, after Calabro got into a red Mitsubishi Eclipse in a parking lot on North Main Street in Pitt-

death. Defense attorneys began calling witnesses Friday afternoon and will continue to do so Monday. Judge William Amesbury said he expects to send the

jury of eight men and four women to deliberate sometime Monday. Prosecutors allege Stoss brutally assaulted Calabro at the Riverfront Park in Pittston on March 11, 2011 and threw her body into the Susquehanna River. Her body was found washed up 10 days later on a river bank near Wilkes-Barre’s Kirby Park. Noone testified he interviewed Stoss the day after Calabro went missing and investigators learned the two had been together. When Noone, who had obtained in-

A night for the Irish By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – If the Irish couldn’t poke fun at themselves, they wouldn’t have much fun, and they poked and laughed Friday night. John and Kevin Corcoran took aim at their father John Sr., who was honored as Man of the Year at the 67th Anniversary Banquet of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Greater Wilkes-Barre at the Ramada Inn in the city’s downtown. Approximately 450 men and boys gathered at the dinner on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day. The Corcoran brothers thanked their mother’s side of the family for giving them full heads of hair, unlike their balding father. Kevin Corcoran noted the significance of the honor given his father, owner and operator of Corcoran’s Funeral Home in Plains Township.

“You’re looking at a multibillionaire, not in money, but in family and friends.”

John Corcoran Sr. Dinner honoree

“You know that you made it when a crematory offers you congratulations,” he said. The Sunlight Crematory of WilkesBarre placed an ad in the program for the dinner. “He served 11 years on the WilkesBarre Area School Board without any investigations,” he added. The school board has received unwanted attention in the ongoing public corruption probe in Luzerne County. But the honoree took the ribbing in stride and humbly accepted the award.

“You’re looking at a multi-billionaire, not in money, but in family and friends,” he said. U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, D- St. Clair, presented Corcoran with a citation from the House of Representatives. Holden is running for re-election in the 17th Congressional District. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy of Bristol, a Democratic candidate for state attorney general and a King’s College graduate, served as toastmaster. Murphy, whose brother J.J. was a former Wilkes-Barre city administrator, attended the dinner in 1996 and acknowledged he never thought he would return. “It’s really an honor and a privilege,” he said. While many dressed formally for the dinner, principal speaker Nick Lowery, former kicker for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, wore a green football jersey with a white number 8 under his tuxedo coat.

BERWICK – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold two public meetings Wednesday regarding the annual assessment and supplemental inspection of the PPL Susquehanna nuclear power plant. The meetings will be held at the Eagle Building, 107 S. Market St., Berwick. The first meeting at 4 p.m. will address the safety performance of the plant in Salem Township during 2011. The public will have an opportunity to ask questions of the NRC staff on the plant’s performance and the agency’s oversight of the facility. The second meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will address the results of the supplemental inspection conducted at the plant between Feb. 13 and Feb. 27. The NRC evaluated the actions taken by PPL during the manual shutdown of the Unit1reactor due to internal flooding on July 16, 2010. The event received a “White” designation, placing it in the low to moderate safety significance range following an initial inspection in 2010. Unit 1 came under additional oversight of the NRC when at the end of the first quarter of 2011 it experienced more than three unplanned shutdowns or scrams during its previous 7,000 hours of operation. The NRC changed the reactor’s performance indicator to “White” from “Green.” But overall, the Unit 1 and the plant’s other reactor, Unit 2, operated safely during 2011, the NRC said. Unit 2 reactor had neither inspection findings nor performance indicators rising to the level of additional oversight. As a result, for the remainder of this year Unit 2 will be subject to the detailed inspection regime for plants operating well. PPL spokesman Joe Scopelliti said there is no danger to the public and the plant’s people have been hard at work making improvements.

W-B Area hires board member’s kin, settles with feds on civil rights issue By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – In a 5-4 vote, Wilkes-Barre Area School Board hired Mary Claire Corcoran as a 20-hour-perweek teacher associate. Board president Mary Ann Toole said after Thursday’s meeting the new hire is “the soon to be ex-wife” of board member Robert Corcoran. Problems in the Corcoran family became public in December 2010 when Mary Claire Corcoran sought and received a Protection From Abuse order against her husband on behalf of their son, then 13. She alleged her husband and son had gotten into a fight, with Robert Corcoran pinning the boy to the floor and hitting him repeatedly. Robert Corcoran filed a counter-PFA, claiming he broke up a fight between his two sons and started to turn away when

one of them sucker punched him. The couple eventually agreed to a separation. In Thursday’s vote, Corcoran, Toole, James Susek and Lynn Evans voted no, though Evans was absent and had given her voting proxy to Toole. The board also voted to accept a “Voluntary Resolution Agreement” to settle a complaint filed against the district with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights. Assistant Solicitor Ray Wendolowski gave no details of the complaint, but noted the board had opted for a voluntary agreement even though he believed the district had a strong case if it chose to fight the complaint. The agreement requires the board to create a notice of nondiscrimination and ensure all print and electronic publications of general distribution contain

the notice. The district must also create a policy prohibiting racial harassment including, among other things, a requirement that school personnel report incidents of alleged racial harassment they may witness, and that such reports be investigated. The district must offer “counseling and/or academic services” to anyone subjected to such harassment and develop “a comprehensive training program for school personnel responsible for implementing and enforcing federal anti-discrimination and anti-harassment laws.”

And the district must provide staff and student training on racial harassment. The board also received an update from Wilkes-Barre City Attorney Bill Vinsko on the city’s sale of the former Old River Road Bakery property. The board had previously balked at forgiving more than $400,000 in back taxes owed on the property but agreed to a new deal with several strings attached, including being kept abreast of developments and receiving 20 percent of the money the city gets for the building, after city expenses are paid. Vinsko said city council has agreed to sell the building to Harrold’s Pharmacy, and that an attorney for the pharmacy will attend the April school board meeting to explain development plans that could cost more than $1 million in private funding.

VICTIM

WAR

Henry shortly after 11 p.m. Stoss told Noone when he returned, Calabro had received a phone call and told him she wanted to go pick up cocaine at a nearby mini mart. Stoss told Noone he last saw Calabro when she got into a red Mitsubishi in a parking lot near a Joyce Insurance office. Noone said nearly two hours of surveillance video of the parking lot from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. did not show any people or a red vehicle. Defense attorneys Allyson Kacmarski and David Lampman began calling witnesses with Stoss’ landlord, Doris Hutz. Hutz testified she fed Stoss’ cat, Angel, on March 11 and went to his home sometime in the evening to let him know she did so. Hutz said Stoss would not let her in when she knocked on his door and that he quickly closed the door. “I did a quick scan … and saw two females,” Hutz said. Defense attorneys also called two Pittston brothers, William and Jamie Nicholson, who were along Kennedy Boulevard on March 11 looking down into Riverfront Park. The men testified they saw a man and woman arguing, but there was no physical contact between the two. The brothers said they called police the following day when they heard on TV news that blood had been found in the same area they saw the two people arguing.

Karzai also is now insisting that U.S. forces retreat from rural areas immediately and let Afghans take the lead in security next year. But the White House and the Pentagon said Friday that nothing would collapse the war plan, even after the massacre, the inadvertent Quran burnings by U.S. soldiers and the deaths of seven American servicemen at the hands of their allies. Polls have shown that up to 60 percent of Americans say it’s time to end the war in Afghanistan. And that’s not lost on the administration. “The Afghan people are tired of war,” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, just back from Afghanistan, acknowledged on Friday. “The American people share some of that tiredness after 10 years of war, as well. All of that’s understandable.” But he also said he is confident that Americans realize the U.S. needs to finish its work of stabilizing Afghanistan to ensure that alQaida cannot against use that country as a launch pad to attack the United States. His theme — patience — is likely to dominate the discourse in Washington and in allied capitals in the lead-up to a NATO summit meeting in Chicago in May. President Barack Obama called Karzai on Friday seeking clarification on the demand concerning U.S. troops in rural areas, and White House press secretary Jay Carney said the leaders agreed to keep discussing the matter, which is at the heart of the military strategy. “I think that the two men were very much on the same page”

about gradually handing over security responsibility to Afghan forces, with U.S. and other international troops switching to a support role throughout Afghanistan sometime in 2013, Carney said. A final transition to Afghan control is supposed to happen by the end of 2014. Another pillar of the war strategy is creating meaningful peace talks with the Taliban insurgents, but that, too, suffered cracks in the aftermath of the village massacre. The Taliban said it was no longer talking on terms set by the

Americans. A senior U.S. official familiar with the discussions said American officials presume that the timing of the Taliban announcement following Sunday’s killings was an attempt to gain greater leverage. Officials have long calculated that the Taliban would not engage seriously in peace talks unless it had lost more ground militarily. U.S. analysts, meanwhile, see a lack of clarity and commitment in the Obama administration strategy for winding down the war.

Other plaintiffs are: Chester Cognigni, John and Michael Cognigni and Susan Cognigni Leonard, all of Plains Township; Gail Brennan, Edwardsville; Thelma Andreoni, Plains Township; Edward Pedana, Willingboro, N.J., Ted Quarequio, Wilkes-Barre and Jean Bohac, Plains Township.

Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, is accused of bilking clients out of potentially millions of dollars by falsely portraying he had invested their money in a trust fund. In reality, Lupas used the money for his personal gain, the Lentz and Preate filings say. Lentz and Preate said the writ of summons will allow them to obtain certain records and gather other information for the lawsuit.

Ex-Rutgers student found guilty

Dharun Ravi, 20, was accused of using webcam to spy on gay roommate’s love life. By GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press

Smile when you say ‘Hound Dog’

This photo provided by Sotheby’s shows Andy Warhol’s portrait of Elvis Presley depicted as a cowboy. The painting, with a silver background, Double Elvis [Ferus Type] is estimated to sell for between $30 million to $50 million at Sothebys in New York on May 9.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A former Rutgers University student accused of using a webcam to spy on his gay roommate’s love life was convicted Friday of invasion of privacy and anti-gay intimidation in a case that exploded into the headlines when the victim threw himself to his death off a bridge. Dharun Ravi, 20, shook his head slightly after hearing guilty verdicts on all 15 counts against him. He and his lawyers left the courthouse without comment, his father’s arm around his shoulders. He could get up to 10 years in prison by some estimates — and could be deported to his native India, even though he has lived legally in the U.S. since he

was a little boy — for an act that cast a spotlight on teen suicide and anti-gay bullying and illustrated the Internet’s potential for tormenting others. Prosecutors said Clementi Ravi set up a webcam in his dorm room in September 2010 and captured roommate Tyler Clementi kissing another man, then tweeted about it and excitedly tried to catch Clementi in the act again two days later. A half-dozen students were believed to have seen the live video of the kissing. Within days, Clementi realized he had been watched and leaped from the George Washington Bridge after posting one last status update on Facebook: “Jumping off the gw bridge, sorry.” At a courthouse news conference after the verdict, Clementi’s father, Joe, addressed himself to college students and other young people, saying: “You’re going to meet a lot of people in your life.

Some of these people you may not like. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean you have to work against them.” Rutgers said in a statement: “This sad incident should make us all pause to recognize the importance of civility and mutual respect in the way we live, work and communicate with others.” During the trial, Ravi’s lawyer argued

that the college freshman was not motivated by any hostility toward gays and that his actions were just those of an immature “kid.” The defense also contended Ravi initially set up the camera because he was afraid Clementi’s older, “sketchy”-looking visitor might steal his belongings.

Analysis predicts a higher deficit

CENTRAL POINT, ORE.

Electric driving gets boost

lectric car owners riding along Oregon’s Interstate 5 don’t have to E worry about running out of juice on the

open road. The first major stretch of what’s been dubbed an “Electric Highway” on the West Coast from Canada to Mexico went operational Friday with the opening of a series of fast-charging stations along 160 miles of the interstate. The eight stations stretch from the California border north to the Oregon city of Cottage Grove and are located at gas stations, restaurants and motels just off I-5, the nation’s second-busiest interstate. One station is at an inn that was once a stage coach stop. They are spaced about every 25 miles, so a Nissan Leaf with a range of about 70 miles can miss one station and still make it to the next.

CBO: Obama’s budget would produce $977B deficit — $75B more than White House said. By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

ORANGEBURG, S.C.

Mom says she killed sons

A South Carolina mother pleaded guilty Friday to killing her two young sons by suffocating them and putting their bodies into a car, rolling it into a river. The case had eerie similarities to that of another mother from the state now serving life in prison. Shaquan Duley pleaded guilty without making a deal with prosecutors. She faces between 30 years and life in prison when she is sentenced later this month. Duley, 30, has been held without bond since her August 2010 arrest in the deaths of her boys, 2-year-old Devean and 18-month-old Ja’van. The tragic scene of a car found submerged with children’s bodies inside was reminiscent of the 1994 case of Susan Smith, who is serving life in prison for killing her young sons by rolling her car into a lake in the northwest part of the state.

Papal visit a huge task

One hundred fifty-thousand communion wafers? Check. Campsites for 350,000? Check. Three hand-embroidered papal souvenir sombreros? Check. Official song? Check.

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA

U.S. raps satellite plan

North Korea plans to blast a satellite into space next month to mark the centenary of the birth of its founder, Kim Il Sung, which the U.S. quickly called a “deal-breaker” for a new agreement where the U.S. would exchange food aid for nuclear concessions. After Friday’s surprise announcement, the United States warned it would not send food aid to North Korea if it goes ahead with the long-range rocket launch, and U.N. Security Council members said it may violate sanctions. The North agreed to a moratorium on long-range launches as part of the food deal with Washington, but argues that satellite launches are part of a peaceful space program that is exempt from international disarmament obligations.

Actor arrested in D.C. protest By BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — George Clooney and his father were arrested Friday during a protest outside the Sudanese Embassy, and the actor said he has asked President Barack Obama to engage China on stopping a humanitarian crisis in northern Africa. The protesters accuse Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir of provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains in the county’s border region with South Sudan. Clooney, his father, Nick Clooney, and others were arrested after being warned three times not to cross a police line outside the embassy. Those taken into custody included NAACP President Ben Jealous, Martin Luther King III, and actor and comedian Dick Gregory.

Several members of Congress also were arrested, including Massachusetts Reps. James McGovern and John Olver, Texas Rep. Al Green and Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia. They were handcuffed and placed into a U.S. Secret Service van.

Clooney was released several hours later after paying a $100 fine. The arrests came after Clooney met this week with Obama, testified in the Senate and attended a state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron.

WASHINGTON — A new analysis of President Barack Obama’s budget for next year says the deficit scenario for next year isn’t as rosy as the White House figured last month. Friday’s Congressional Budget Office report said Obama’s budget would produce a $977 billion deficit next year — $75 billion more than predicted by the White House. Over the coming decade, CBO says Obama’s policies would result in deficits totaling $6.4 trillion. Deficits would be even higher were it not for Obama’s proposals to raise taxes on higher-income people. The White House seized on the figures as validation of its claims that Obama’s budget brings the deficit under control — at least when measured against the economy, the measure used by most economists in evaluating the deficit. “CBO found that by 2016 deficits as a share of the economy would be below 3 percent — a key milestone of fiscal sustainability,” said White House budget office acting director Jeffrey Zients. “Debt held by the public will decrease and then stabilize as a share of the economy, also a key indicator of improving fiscal health.” The nonpartisan CBO said Obama’s budget office consistently overestimates tax revenues over the coming decade.

Storm warnings spare Michigan village from tornado injuries The twister damaged more than 100 homes and destroyed 13. Yet, everyone emerged unscathed.

By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER Associated Press

DEXTER, Mich. — The twister that took aim at this Michigan village unleashed winds of 135 mph and lingered on the ground for a full half-hour, plowing a path of destruction that stretched for 10 miles. But after the tornado melted back into the clouds, townspeople emerged to a remarkable surprise: Not a single person was seriously

hurt. Authorities credited storm sirens that provided more than 20 minutes of warning. The twister damaged more than 100 homes and destroyed 13. Yet everyone emerged unscathed. “When you look at the path and you look at the physical destruction ... it’s amazing,” Washtenaw County Sheriff Jerry Clayton said Friday. Sometime after Thursday evening’s tornado, Deputy Ray Yee

was surveying the rubble when a solitary hand rose from debris. He reached for it and pulled out an elderly man who was shaken but able to walk. “That’s the best part,” Yee said. “Every place I went to, I would have thought I would have found somebody laying there — deceased or whatever. But, knock on AP PHOTO wood, everybody was OK.” Authorities had accounted for Neighbors looks over the scene in Dexter, Mich., Friday. the entire population of 4,000.

SUGARLOAF TWP. — Seven of the eight West Point cadets injured when their van crashed on Interstate 80 here Thursday night were treated and released from local hospitals by late Friday morning, with the eighth cadet expected to be released soon thereafter, West Point said. The cadets from the U.S. Military Academy in New York were injured when their van crashed after a boxing competition, officials said Friday. State police said the van carrying nine cadets flipped after swerving to miss a car that had illegally used a cross-over path for emergency vehicles. The crash happened around 8 p.m. Thursday in the eastbound lanes. The nine cadets in the van were members of the boxing team leaving the East Regional Championship competition at Penn State, the West Point public affairs office said in a written statement. The van’s driver wasn’t hurt. West Point said. The accident remains under investigation. The other driver left the scene, state police said. Authorities urged anyone with information on the identity of the other driver, or the location of the other vehicle that used the cross-over road, to contact state police.

Brian Sura

Stanley J. Panowicz

March 9, 2012

March 12, 2012

y dear son, Brian, who resided in Larksville, has unexpectedly passed from this life into the arms of Jesus on Friday, March 9, 2012. Missing him more than anyone can imagine, but knowing Home is Heaven with God and his father Nick, gives us great comfort and peace. He was a wonderful and dedicated son. He always wanted to do what was morally right and always stood by my side. Brian was honest and righteous with every decision he made. He loved his brother Nick. Only God can make two such beautiful gifts as Nick and Brian. The time we spent with Brian was much, much shorter than we could have imagined, but I thank God for the beautiful memories we had together. Almost a lifetime member of St. Mary’s Church, Our Lady of Fatima Parish on Washington Street in Wilkes-Barre, he served under Monsignor Thomas Banick from fourth grade to12th grade as an acolyte. He had the utmost respect for Monsignor Banick. In grade school he played soccer, basketball and baseball. He enjoyed wood carving and Boy Scouts. Going through to high school, he played the violin for seven years. He was a long distance runner, running five to six miles a day up to the day he passed. Brian graduated from Holy Redeemer High School. He attended Wilkes University for two years and then transferred to King’s College for business. He earned scholarships at both colleges and was set to graduate King’s in May of 2012, with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He was on the President’s List and Dean’s List. Brian was a member of the Alpha Beta Sigma Honor Society and served on the Student Advisory Board. He worked part-time tutoring other students. He liked the staff at both King’s and Wilkes and frequently mentioned how impressed he was with Dr. Barry Williams. There were others I can’t remember at this time. After graduation, Brian planned to continue his education to be a Math High School teacher and/or get his CPA. He was a motivated self-learner and passed quite a few CLEP tests for college credits. When his father was alive, but deathly ill, (Nick was away at school), it was Brian’s sense of humor that would make his dad smile

and laugh. Brian was supportive and strong, even while attending school full-time and working parttime jobs at Redner’s and United Check Cashing. He enjoyed manual labor to stay fit and he also worked other outdoor jobs and in construction. He loved learning about tools from his father, then his grandfather. Grand Pop could fix anything and no one compared to Grandma’s cooking, it was the best. He was preceded in death by his father, Nick Sura Jr. Surviving are his mother, Barbara Dervin Sura and his loving brother, Nick Sura III. Also surviving are grandparents, Edward and Theresa Dervin; Nick and Joan Sura; aunts and uncles, Debby Makos and husband, Joe; James Dervin and wife, Brenda; Richard Dervin, Cathy Pack and husband, John; Karen McHale and husband, Sean; special cousins, Eric, Carrie, Michelle, Chris, Heather, Stephanie, Becky, Kirsten and Christian. He also left behind dear friends that were just like family, Millie Monie, Diane Wasserott, Bill and Donna Koscinski. His little dog Tiffany will surely miss his presence. Please join our prayers for him. Missing Brian is almost unbearable, only God will get us through it. He has joined his father in eternal life with God in Heaven. Out of respect for the family, funeral arrangements were private at St. Mary’s of the Immaculate Conception Church, Our Lady of Fatima Parish. There were no calling hours. Brian believed hunger in the world was not due to a lack of food but rather a disbursement of it. Donations can be made in Brian’s memory to charitable food bank/organization.

tanley J. Panowicz, 85, of Plains Township, passed away on Monday in the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Plains Township, following an illness. Born in Miners Mills on October 28, 1926, Stanley was the son of the late Leon and Victoria Mock Panowicz. He was raised in the Hudson section of Plains Township and attended Plains Township schools. He joined the Navy and had served in the South Pacific Theater during World War II as a Fireman First Class on five different vessels. He was wounded and was awarded the Purple Heart, among other decorations. After his service of duty, he found work in Penn Yan, New York, with Comstock Canning. There he met his future bride, Lucille Mae Decker, and they were married in 1948. Stanley and Lucille moved to Chicago so that he could pursue a trade in Tool & Die manufacturing. During their 50-plus years in Chicago, they raised four children, Sheila, Vincent, Mary Ann and Karen. In 1991, Lucille passed away and Stanley met Maria Baron, whom he married in 2004. He fulfilled his wish to move back to Pennsylvania in 2007, so he and Maria pulled up stakes and moved to Plains. His joy was short-lived when Maria died one month later. Stanley was preceded in death by two wives, the former Lucille Decker and Maria Baron; by brothers, Raymond, Thomas and Bernard. Surviving are a son, Vincent Panowicz, Wentzville, Missouri; daughters, Sheila Bell, Hoffman Estates, Illinois; Karen Watson, Aurora, Illinois; Mary Ann Ballek, Ro-

Area man in custody dispute sues over guardian’s actions By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A Moscow man involved in a custody dispute has filed a federal lawsuit against Lackawanna County Court, alleging the court system allowed a guardian appointed to represent his son to run roughshod over the man’s constitutional rights. Dr. Michael Stefanov alleges attorney Danielle Ross, a courtappointed guardian ad litem, abused her authority, allowing her to rack up thousands of dollars in fees for conducting unnecessary evaluations and home visits. Stefanov also takes aim at the court system, which he says created a policy that resulted in the appointment of a guardian in virtually all custody cases, despite a state Superior Court decision that says a guardian should be appointed only in “extraordinary circumstances.” The suit, filed Friday by attorney Paul Cianci of Huntingdon Valley, comes several months after federal authorities subpoenaed records from the family court division seeking information on payments that were made to Ross. A guardian ad litem is a person, usually an attorney, appointed to represent the interest of a child, independent of

their parents. Guardians are most commonly appointed in abuse and neglect cases involving Children and Youth, but a judge can appoint a guardian in a private custody if it’s believed the action is in the child’s “best interest.” In private cases, parents are required to pay a fee to the guardian for their services, regardless if they agree the appointment of a guardian was necessary. In his suit, Stefanov contends he paid Ross more than $9,000 over a several-year period that she was involved in a custody dispute between himself and his ex-wife. According to the suit, Ross coerced Stefanov into abiding by every recommendation she made, regardless of whether it was reasonable, by threatening he would lose visitation if he refused. Stefanov claims he was also forced to provide private medical records regarding himself and his son, despite his objections. The court system provided no meaningful review as it routinely “rubber stamped” Ross’ recommendation, he says. Ross has served as guardian ad litem for Lackawanna County since 2008. She could not be reached for comment Friday.

New abuse guidelines under way at PSU

School’s lawyer says number of employees had received subpoenas from the state AG. By GENARO C. ARMAS and MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HERSHEY — Penn State has started implementing new guidelines borne of recommendations by former FBI director Louis Freeh that it hopes will improve the protocols involved in identifying and reporting child sex abuse. The steps outlined to university trustees Friday by school President Rodney Erickson focused on areas such as the prompt reporting of allegations and a new compliance offer. They were initially put forward by Freeh, who’s heading the trustees’ internal investigation into a child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The details came amid what proved to be another busy legal day in the case against Sandusky. The school’s lawyer said that a number of Penn State employees had received subpoenas from the state attorney general’s office, while Sandusky’s lawyer told a judge he needs psychological reports, juvenile arrest records The school and other docu- wasn’t offiments about his client’s accusers cially notified to prepare for of the subtrial. poenas; inErickson said stead leaders he knows the names of some found out of the staffers after recipwho received ients contactsubpoenas.

He said. said he wasn’t subpoenaed, and trustees chair Karen Peetz said she hadn’t heard of trustees being subpoenaed, either. The school wasn’t officially notified of the subpoenas; instead leaders found out after recipients contacted the school’s general counsel. They were advised to get their own lawyers, Peetz said. “We expected it, knowing that there was an (investigation) going on. ... No one was alarmed,” Peetz said. “We expect this will take some time to play out.” The university, embroiled in the scandal since Sandusky’s arrest Nov. 5, is trying to move forward while still dealing with the legal implications that keep refocusing attention on the past. Some vocal alumni remain angry with the board’s actions in the frantic week that followed Sandusky’s arrest, including the ouster of the late Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno and thenschool President Graham Spanier. University leaders have said they hope the Freeh-inspired guidelines confirm their dedication to addressing head-on questions and research about child sex abuse. Changes include enhancing background checks for staffers working with children and adding employees to help with compliance with various federal laws and NCAA rules. Erickson said Penn State will immediately retrieve keys, access cards and other property from peoplewhoarenolongerformally associated with the university.

Area gets glimpse into Kony’s terror A woman who knows firsthand of violence against African children brings message to Misericordia. By JOE DOLINSKY Times Leader Intern

DALLAS TWP. – In an effort to spread awareness about Ugandan militia leader Joseph Kony, human rights group “Invisible Children” stopped by Misericordia University on Friday to bring to the foreground the issue of child violence in Africa. In addition to the airing of the documentary, “Kony 2012,” the one-hour presentation featured the firsthand testimony of native Ugandan Sharon Poscovia, a survivor of Kony’s violence against children. After the 30-minute documentary, Poscovia spoke to the audience of nearly 500 about her difficult childhood in Uganda. “I had serious fear,” she said. “Fear

of being killed at any time.” Poscovia said she grew up in Gulu, an area outside northern Uganda where Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army sought out and abducted young children, using the males as soldiers and the females as sex slaves. Poscovia said she spent the majority of her childhood living day to day in

constant fear. “During my childhood, when people offered me food, I had to wonder if they were doing it out of goodness or because they were trying to abduct me,” she said. According to reports, more than 30,000 children have been abducted throughout the 26-year conflict in northern Africa. Poscovia said she was one of the few able to avoid capture. Thanks to the efforts of “Invisible Children,” she was given a scholarship and graduated college in February. About 1 percent of Ugandan women are college graduates, according to Poscovia. Poscovia now travels throughout the United States telling her story with “Invisible Children” team members. Coordination between Invisible Children and Misericordia University was due in large part to junior elementary education major, Sarah Munley.

As student activities coordinator, Munley said she was initially contacted by officials at the non-profit and that once she started spreading the word, response from students and faculty was overwhelming. “It kind of exploded -- in a good way,” she said. Munley said she was eager to respond because it was such an important cause for young people to know about. “Children are children. We need to help them out,” she said. “Kony 2012” has gone viral largely through social media since it was first released on March 5, exceeding 79,927,048 views to date on YouTube. The documentary hopes to energize people into action by persuading U.S. government officials to continue providing military support for Ugandan troops seeking to arrest Kony. It was narrated by director and “Invisible Children” co-founder Jason Russell.

‘Kony co-creator detained by cops By TONY PERRY and RICHARD WINTON Los Angeles Times

SAN DIEGO — The co-founder of Invisible Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit that produced the viral "Kony 2012" video, was detained in San Diego on Thursday night, police said. Jason Russell appeared to be masturbating in public and vandalizing cars, San Diego police said. He may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police Lt. Andra Brown said. Russell was taken to a Russell mental health facility for observation. Ben Keesey, CEO of Invisible Children, said that Russell was hospitalized and suffering from exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition. "He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident.”

Richards loses on appeal, faces jail

The former county human resources chief contended he should get only probation.

A federal appellate court has upheld the 15-month prison sentence imposed upon former Luzerne County Human Resources Director Doug Richards. Richards, of Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty in January 2010 to corrupt receipt of a reward for official action. Federal prosecutors said Richards accepted money from a company in exchange for his support Richards in helping the firm win a county contract. He was sentenced in December 2010. Richards had challenged U.S. District Judge James Munley’s determination that Richards fit the definition of a “high ranking public official,” a designation that significantly increased the sentencing guidelines for the crime. Had Munley determined Richards was not a high ranking official, he would have been eligible for a sentence of as little as probation. Attorney William Ruzzo, who represented Richards, appealed the sentence to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Ruzzo maintained Richards did not fit the definition of a high ranking official because he was an administrator who made recommendations, but had no authority to make policy decisions or bind the county to a contract. The Third Circuit Court disagreed. The court said the inquiry focused on whether Richards could exercise “substantial influence over the decisionmaking process” in Luzerne County. The court said it believes the facts presented supported Munley’s determination. “Richards admitted that, as part of his job duties, he would refer three or four of the top candidates for a job to the county commissioners,” the court said. “He also administered his own department and made recommendations to his superiors.” Richards has been free pending resolution of the appeal. Its expected Munley will now issue an order setting a report date for him to begin serving the sentence. Ruzzo could not be reached for comment Friday regarding whether he will seek to a further appeal of Munley’s ruling.

Expert on delinquent children says good programs can fail if not done right

Implementation key to success By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

DALLAS – There are programs that can reduce child abuse, crime, delinquency and drug abuse, Clay Yeager, a nationally known expert on evidence-based programs for delinquent children told a professional social workers conference on Friday. “But great programs can fail due to poor implementation,” he said. Yeager brought his 36 years of experience with children and the juvenile justice system to Misericordia University’s campus for a lecture called, “The Importance of Evidence Based Approaches in Working with Dependent and Delinquent Children.” The lecture held Friday morning was attended by 40 area social workers and probation officers. The program was part of National Social Worker Month by the National Association of Social Workers. Investing in evidence-based models to reach out and help families and children is less expensive and more productive than investing money into prisons and detention facilities to treat the problem once it occurs. CherylSobeski-Reddy,alawyer with the Juvenile Defender Unit

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

in the Office of the Public Defender for Luzerne County, added that more programs are needed to help children adjust to living in their communities after being released from juvenile detention. Locking up children is uniquely American – and expensive, Yeager said.

A rough estimate shows it would cost the state of Pennsylvania between, $142,715 to $213,890 for each juvenile placement a year. “The theory is you could send about 10 or more kids to college for the same amount,” he said. Yeager said the average age

children take their first step to delinquency is 7, moderately serious behavior begins around 9, and serious issues at 12. “The average age for a child to appear in juvenile court is 14,” he said. “That gives us a seven-year window to help make a change by intervening.”

Democratic nominees to have 1 debate in 17th Congressional District By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The race for the Democratic nomination in the 17th Congressional District will likely include at least one debate, according to a campaign spokesman for U.S. Rep. Tim Holden. But the congressman does not have the time to participate in 2 0 1 2 the six forums reELECTION quested by his challenger, Moosic attorney Matt Cartwright. In a letter sent to Holden Thursday, the Cartwright campaign said that running a campaign through commercials is not the best way to reach voters. Cartwright said holding a debate only to be viewed by those in attendance also is not a good option. So he is proposing weekly debates to be broadcast on the Internet.

Building evacuated after bleach attack Man allegedly pours solvents on three people in incident at Edwardsville apartments. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

Clay Yeager, a leader in juvenile justice challenges, addresses area social workers at Misericordia University Friday during a lecture presented by National Association of Social Workers.

“Clearly, a 30-second television ad is a horrible way to communicate. Let’s look voters in the eye and tell them what we’ve done and what we seek to do, and if we can’t, because of scheduling and travel restrictions, let’s use our best technology,” Cartwright said. “People want to know who they are voting for, but with work and family, most folks can’t come to an event, so let’s go to them in their communities or on their home computers.” The Cartwright campaign has asked Holden to schedule a debate in each of the six counties that the 17th Congressional District now includes: Lackawanna, Luzerne, Carbon, Schuylkill, Monroe and Northampton. As a result of the redistricting process that will go into effect this year, about 78 percent of the new 17th district was previously represented by other Congressional members.

Eric Nagy, Holden’s campaign manager, said the campaign received the letter Friday. “While holding six debates is unlikely due to the congressman’s schedule in Washington, we will be reaching out to the Cartwright campaign with available dates beginning early next week,” Nagy said. He noted that Congress does not recess to accommodate elections since the primaries are held over the course of months across the nation. Nagy agreed that citizens in the district would benefit from hearing from the candidates so

they can “make an informed decision in the upcoming Democratic primary. Congressman Holden is proud to be able to address his long record of public service and fierce advocacy on behalf of seniors, veterans and the middle class in a public forum.” The winner of the Democratic primary will likely face Laureen Cummings of Old Forge in the November general election. Cummings is the only Republican on the ballot.

EDWARDSVILLE – A building at Hilltop Apartments on Roosevelt Street was evacuated Thursday night after a man allegedly poured bleach and an ammonia-based solvent on three people, sending two to a hospital with chemical burns. Jeremiah Hightower, 39, was arraigned Friday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on six counts of simple assault, two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of terroristic threats and reckless endangerment. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. Deputy Fire Chief Frank Slimock condemned the building due to a strong odor of bleach and ammonia, displacing about 10 tenants. It could not be learned Friday if they had been allowed to return. Police said there were two empty containers of bleach in the apartment, as well as cleaning solvent and puddles of cleaning chemicals with traces of blood droplets. According to the criminal complaint: Kim Malesinski told police Hightower earlier in the day asked her to have sex. When she

refused, Hightower left the apartment, taking her cell phone. When Hightower returned to the Hightower apartment, Malesinski, Mallory Corcoran and John DePrimo locked themselves in a bedroom. Hightower forced open the door and sat on Corcoran’s legs, slamming her head against a wall numerous times, the criminal complaint says. Malesinski claimed Hightower left the bedroom and Corcorancalled911.Hightowerreturned to the bedroom, dousing the three with bleach and ammonia and burning their eyes and skin, the criminal complaint says. Malesinski claimed Hightower smashed a drinking glass and stabbed her in the chest, according to the criminal complaint. Police arrested Hightower at gunpoint when he was spotted leaving the apartment. Malesinski and Corcoran were treated at an area hospital for chemical burns, police said. In an unrelated case, Hightower was free on $5,000 unsecured bail on a drug offense in September. He is facing a charge of possession of crack cocaine when Wilkes-Barre police allegedly found three bags of crack inside his vehicle at a motel on Kidder Street, according to court records. People stand near carpeting from a building at Hilltop Apartments in Edwardsville Thursday night after a man reportedly doused three people with solvents.

Critics say the session, now set for shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday, will inconvenience would-be attendees and seems to have been orchestrated.

OTHER OPINION: AIRPORT CHECKS

Treat older fliers with more class

ELL, LOOK AT that. The Transportation Security Administration is testing a more common-sense way to handle air travelers age 75 and older. Four airports will try out new procedures for treating older passengers in a more dignified way. Travelers 75 and older will not have to remove their shoes or light jackets to clear security at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, Denver International, Orlando International and Portland International. Anyone following air-travel incidents knows senior citizens as a group are very low risk, much like children 12 and under. Passengers in that EDITORIAL BOARD

age group do not have to take off their shoes either. Obviously, the first granny who tries to go through security, knowingly or unknowingly, carrying a harmful item will kill this idea in an instant. But good for TSA for moving forward with what is now understood about this group of passengers. Older people are part of the vast ocean of individuals trying to clear security while hoping to experience minimum indignities. The pilot project is smart and timely policy. If it works – it should – this new approach should spread quickly to the rest of the country. The Seattle Times

Straightforward action required for shale industry PENNSYLVANIA HAS one of the largest natural gas deposits in the world. Its responsible development can enhance national security and heighten economic recovery for our country, state and citizenry – all while moving us toward a sounder environment. While Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget proposals and related Comprehensive Shale Legislation outline successes, plans for recovery and updates to shale development regulations, other actions are needed to continue the momentum. These actions are straightforward and can yield significant benefits. Some benefits already are being realized. Increased use of gas from domestic sources is reducing dangerous dependence on foreign oil sources that are subject to both political conflicts and growing competition. A recent Penn State study shows that gas exploration already has added 156,000 jobs to the Pennsylvania economy with the potential of another 250,000 by 2020. Although Pennsylvania has reaped benefits and its regulatory structure is a model for others, there are still areas that need to be addressed. Fears need to be addressed. Many people are scared of hydraulic fracturing and its effects. While few of these fears are supported by good science and experience, they are real to many people. Both industry and the government must explicitly recognize their existence and continually demonstrate that they are being addressed in a responsible manner. The regulatory structure needs to be

MAIL BAG

MIKE URETSKY streamlined. The good news is that all critical aspects of gas exploration (seismic acquisition, site selection, construction, drilling and completion, well startup, production and release) are regulated by a combination of federal, state and local agencies. As shown in the “Governor’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission Report,” these regulations involve more than 11 organizations – each with its own regulations and bureaucracy. The complexity of this structure makes understanding the regulations difficult, and it leaves open opportunities for problems to “drop between the cracks.” It also creates both unnecessary expense and time delays. These problems could be avoided by establishing a state-level organization – a single focal point – with responsibility for overseeing the entire gas development process. The thrust of the regulations must be revised to encourage ongoing improvements. Current regulations focus on what can and cannot be done. They ignore focusing on what they are trying to achieve. A natural consequence is that operators are discouraged or prevented from introducing technological advances that could improve the processes and profitability. The existing regulatory structure should be reviewed and revised to focus on intent. Gas exploration in some portions of the state is subject to additional regulations imposed by interstate commissions (e.g., the

COMMENTARY

Susquehanna River Basin Commission or the Delaware River Basin Commission). These organizations set their own regulations and administrative structures, sometimes ignoring explicit agreements that they have with the states. This can result in problems that damage both the state and its regulations. As an example, the Delaware River Basin Commission is holding Northeastern Pennsylvania hostage because it has established a moratorium on gas exploration pending issuance of revised regulations and supporting procedures. They have been unable to develop these regulations despite two years of work and they have no published timetable for getting closure. Pennsylvania and its residents are being hurt, and the Corbett administration has the responsibility to take strong action that will force closure. Local communities bear the burden of natural gas exploration. Their physical and human infrastructures must deal with the sudden growth of new industry, an influx of workers, displaced residents, emergency services, etc. The Corbett administration has an obligation to make sure that there are community plans building on the opportunities provided by natural gas exploration. All of the above suggestions are straightforward. They can be implemented quickly and yield significant benefits.

omb survivors are people who made it from conception to birth without being aborted (killed) by either selfish people, Planned Parenthood and/or the Obama administration. The present administration seemingly is looking to reduce the number of womb survivors by using our tax dollars to promote and fund abortions. The lead person for this effort is U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. During his campaign, the president, while talking about abortion, said that he had given his daughters morals, but in the event that something happened (unwanted pregnancy), he would not want them to be “punished” with children. We need to challenge this attitude and promote adoptions. It is a win-win situation.

One of our four children is adopted. It is hard to describe the joy in the adoption process. As examples, a phone call from the agency told us: “We have a baby girl for you, but you don’t have to take her.” By the time we returned home with our new baby, our neighbors had put up signs saying, “Welcome home, (Name).” The greatest people, who we never met, were the birth parents. They had the unselfish courage and faith to give up their child for adoption and added not only a daughter to our family, but also, eventu-

Blue Cross director While the legal proceedings are moving forward, Mellow remains on the board of directors at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania. It’s a paid position he’s held since 2008. In a statement issued Friday, the Wilkes-Barre-based health care organization said, “Our board includes industry and community leaders who have been publicly recognized for their commitment to help those who most need it and have dedicated themselves to improve health care for the residents of North Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Sen. Mellow has a distinguished track record of advancing the quality of health care in our region. The matter currently facing Sen.

Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania spokesman Anthony Matrisciano said he was unsure how long Mellow’s term was and de-

With an agreement to plead guilty to two federal felonies in place, former state Sen. Robert J. Mellow could be looking at up to five years in prison. But his name, which graces area roadways, college buildings, and parks, may not be going anywhere. And even with the details contained in a federal information showing how the 70-year-old from Peckville allegedly used Senate staff to perform political campaign and fundraising work on state time, those whom he’s helped have offered praise for his career. Mellow was integral in getting the Scranton-based Commonwealth Medical College up and running and was conferred with the school’s first honorary degree in 2009. When asked to comment on Mellow’s legal issues, the school’s interim president and dean chose to offer praise rather than mention the charges. “Sen.

Clark pointed out that some lakes near Scranton, such as Moosic Lake, are totally ice-free. This is the earliest in nearly 40 years that those lakes have been without ice. And the spring flooding potential is still well below normal because there’s no snow to melt, he said. But also due to the warm weather, our growing season is about three weeks ahead of schedule, Clark said. The warm, dry weather will give area vegetable farmers an opportunity for an early start on their plowing and tilling, said Vincent Cotrone, a forester and educator with the Penn State Cooperative Extension.

start planting before May 15 in case there is a late cold snap. The early growing season is not good news, however, for local fruit tree farmers. “Fruit growers are very worried at this point,” said Quentin Heller, owner of Heller Orchards in the Wapwallopen section of Conyngham Township. “The worst freeze-out we ever had here was in the last week of May, so you can imagine how long we have to wait ‘til we’re out of the coop here,” Heller said. Heller said the buds on some of his apple, peach, pear and plum trees are starting to swell. If those

buds bloom and a substantial cold snap hits, it could ruin his crop for the growing season. Heller said some farmers have used heaters in the fields when cold snaps threatened early blooms in the past, “but nobody can afford the fuel for the heaters these days. I think we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens,” he said. And pollinating trees throughout the area can mean the early onset of allergic reactions for allergy sufferers. “I think we’re starting to see more allergic rhinitis symptoms – drippy, watery noses, itchy, wa-

PENSION Continued from Page 1A

Prosecutors say Mellow, a former Democratic Party leader, illegally used Senate staff to perform political campaign and fundraising work on state time. He’s charged with mail fraud because those staff members utilized the Postal Service to send campaign-related material in question. The government contends the scheme cost the Senate up to $120,000 based on the salaries of the employees involved. Given that, it appears the most likely charges upon which SERS might seek to halt Mellow’s pension would the theft of services or theft by deception. Pam Hile, spokeswoman for PSERS, said the agency initiates investigations into pension forfeitures whenever it becomes aware of a case, either through media reports or employers. Whatever the outcome of the investigation into Mellow’s pension, he will continue to receive payments up until he enters a plea or is sentenced, based on prior court rulings that have held a “conviction” occurs only after the plea has been officially entered.

Wellness at Marywood University and The Mellow Family Children’s Campus at Keystone College. Juneann Greco, a Marywood spokeswoman, said there will likely be discussion on the continued use of Mellow’s name on the athletics center on the Scranton school’s campus but no official conversations have occurred. Messages left with Blakely Borough Council President Joseph Quinn and Borough Manager Thomas J. Wascura were not returned. Multiple messages left with Chris Kucharski, spokesman for Lackawanna College, were also not returned. In an interview on the subject in 2010, shortly after the FBI searched Mellow’s home and offices, Kucharski said that placing Mellow’s name on the theater was a way to honor “one of our most distinguished alumni.” At that time, he said school officials “have had no discussions (about what to do if the senator were to find himself in legal trouble).” A Jessup borough secretary said there’s been no internal discussion about changing the name of the road inside the Mid-Valley Industrial Park. She said a Times Leader reporter was the first to even bring up the matter.

• Avoid outdoor activities on high pollen-count days. • Pollen counts are usually higher in the morning, so plan your schedule accordingly. • Use air conditioning in the house and car rather than keeping windows open on high-pollen days. • Get children who have been playing outside out of pollencovered clothes and give them a bath or wipe them down with a wet cloth after they come inside. • Start allergy medications at the first sign of symptoms rather than waiting for symptoms to get bad. • See an allergist to determine exactly what you’re allergic to and how best to manage the allergy. • Learn more about allergies at acaai.org and find a link to regional pollen counts at www.aaaai.org.

tery eyes, stuffy noses, congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip,” said Dr. Patricia Hutchinson, an allergy and immunology specialist with Geisinger Medical Center. Hutchinson said the National Allergy Bureau is reporting high levels of tree pollen in Pennsylvania, one of the most common triggers for allergic rhinitis. Those levels normally appear in later spring or early summer, she said. She said February and March are not all that uncommon to see the beginning of allergy symptoms, but it is a little early in the year to see such high levels of tree

pollen. People who are allergic to bee stings should also be putting their guard up a little earlier this year. Tony Best, of Best Pest Control in Pittston, said he’s already had some calls from customers to deal with bee problems. Hutchinson said it’s bees and other insects that pollinate most flowers. So allergy sufferers shouldn’t throw the blame at pretty spring flowers for their sneezing and itchy eyes. As for the reason behind all this warm weather, Clark said he won’t point a finger at global warming. “As a whole, the globe was not warmer. The polar jet stream is

way up north and they allowed 90 percent of the country to have above-normal temperatures this month. It’s dropping all the cold air in the far northern latitudes,” Clark said.

TERRIBLE 2S

Duke unable to handle Patriot champs Lehigh By STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Lehigh Mountain Hawks said they weren’t afraid of mighty Duke. Maybe no one believed them at the time, but the Patriot League champions proved they were serious. C.J. McCollum scored 30 points and Lehigh upset Duke 75-70 to become the second No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 during a wild Friday in the NCAA tournament. “It means a lot as a team, a family and as the Patriot League in general,” McCollum said. “We wanted to come out here and protect this team and this family, get the win and we did that tonight.” Lehigh forward John Adams said it was a matter of believing in each other. “We saw on the selection show we had Duke and we thought we could match up very well against them,” Adams said. “We all believed it and we showed it on the floor. Everybody bought into that idea that we could beat them. See LEHIGH, Page 3B

Pa. poll: Name it Paterno Stadium

Statement: Without scandal, support for change might have approached 100 percent.

By MICHAEL MUSKAL Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Pennsylvania may be a political battleground state, but when it comes to some things — like football — voters have a somewhat clearer, if still nuanced, message: Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno deserves to be honored. According to a Quinnipiac University Poll released Friday, voters in the Keystone State said they favor renaming Penn State’s Beaver Paterno Stadium after the late iconic coach by a 46 percent to 40 percent margin. Paterno was fired in November by the university’s board of trustees for failing to act aggressively enough in dealing with the child sexualabuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. But the overall number masks some interesting divisions. For example, voters who identified themselves as football fans backed honoring Paterno by 55 percent to 37 percent. Those who were not fans said they opposed renaming the stadium by 44 percent to 37 percent. Age also seems to be a factor in support for Paterno, who died in January of lung cancer at age 85. According to the survey, those 65 and older strongly backed Paterno by 51 percent to 32 percent. The poll was conducted by telephone and cellphone from March 7 to March 12, and 1,256 registered voters were contacted. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points. "There is lingering respect for Joe Paterno," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a statement. "One has to wonder: If the Sandusky scandal had never happened whether support for renaming the stadium would have approached100 percent," he said. Sandusky, 68, is awaiting trial on charges that he sexually abused at least 10 boys over a 15year period. In one incident, Sandusky, who was no longer a coach at the time, was allegedly observed with a young boy in the showers of a Penn State facility. The graduate coach who said he saw Sandusky took the matter to Paterno. Paterno contacted his superior, but neither one of them called the police. The board of trustees later fired Paterno and the university president for failing to act forcefully enough.

PIAA SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Dallas’ Chielli, Redeemer relay earn medals Pair of sixth-place finishes top day’s events for WVC swimmers in Lewisburg. By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

LEWISBURG -- The longest of days gave Jake Chielli enough time to turn a bit of individual despair into team delight. Which seemed fitting, since Chielli’s grown accustomed to celebrating success with his Dal-

las High School teammates. After being edged out of a medal in the boys 50-yard freestyle, Chielli came back to help Dallas secure a sixth-place medal in the 200-yard freestyle relay as the Class 2A portion of the PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships began Friday at Bucknell University’s Kinney Natatorium. "It was great to go out there with my teammates and grab another medal," said Chielli, a key performer for Dallas’ three con-

secutive District 2 team titles. "I was very satisfied with my time here and had a great time doing it." In girls action, Holy Redeemer senior Elizabeth Finnegan made her last time the best. She anchored a Royals 200-yard freestyle relay team that captured a sixth-place medal in the same race in which Scranton Prep finished third. Meanwhile, Pittston Area’s Mia Nardone made it to the consolation heat of the 100 butterfly,

where she finished seventh in the race and 15th in the state. Crestwood’s Josh Grzech -- a state swimmer without a team this season -- finished second in the consolation race of the boys 200 IM. And Dallas diver Sarah Zerfoss placed 11th, but out of the medal awards ceremony, with an accumulated score of 349.45.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Florida State beat North Carolina twice this season. Did the same to Duke, too. But it was Andrew Nicholson and little St. Bonaventure who nearly sent the Seminoles home in their first NCAA tournament game. Bernard James scored 19 points and Florida State barely avoided a big upset, rallying to beat the 14th-seeded Bonnies 66-63 on Friday. The third-seeded Seminoles (25-9) shook off a slow start and won their sixth straight game,

EAST

REGIONAL including their run to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship last week. They will play sixth-seeded Cincinnati, a 65-59 winner over Texas, on Sunday in the third round of the East Regional. Nicholson scored 20 points and Demetrius Conger had 14 for St. Bonaventure (20-12), which was trying to win an NCAA tournament game for the first time since 1970.

Florida State used a 16-2 run to take its first lead with 5:15 left on a 3-pointer by Ian Miller. The Seminoles led as much as 60-52 on a dunk by Okaro White with 2:47 left. The Bonnies hit three 3-pointers in the final 1:43 to stay close. They had the ball down by three in the closing seconds but couldn’t get a decent look from beyond the arc. Cincinnati 65, Texas 59 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Yancy Gates had 15 points and 10 rebounds as Cincinnati withstood a late rally by Texas.

The sixth-seeded Bearcats (25-10) jumped out to a 16-2 lead while Texas opened the game 1 of 14 and hit 16 percent for the entire first half. After trailing 31-17 at halftime, the Longhorns attacked, hitting five of their first seven from 3-point range. With 3:44 to play, Texas’ Jonathan Holmes hit a layup to tie it at 52, but the Longhorns would get no closer. Gates hit a shot over Clint Chapman’s head with 1:11 to give Cincinnati a 58-52 lead, and the Bearcats hit five free throws in the final 36 seconds.

The rest is history.” History indeed. The Mountain Hawks are the sixth 15 seed overall to pull off the trick. Norfolk State edged Missouri 86-84 in the West Regional earlier in the day, and No. 13 seed Ohio knocked off Michigan to add to the madness. Duke dropped its first tournament game for only the second time in the past 16 years, and this one occurred just 55 miles from its campus. The Blue Devils also lost their opener against 11thseeded Virginia Commonwealth in 2007. The Blue Devils had no answer for the speedy McCollum, the two-time Patriot League player of the year and the nation’s fifthleading scorer. “They had the best player on the court tonight in McCollum,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s been their player of the year, and he’s really one of the outstanding players in the country. You could see why tonight.” It didn’t help that the Blue Devils hit just 6 of 26 shots from 3-point range. Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, drawing support from North Carolina fans who borrowed brown signs from Mountain Hawks supporters that read “Go Lehigh” to root against their rivals. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” forward Justin Maneri said with a deep laugh. “We came to the practice the other day and as soon as you walked in they were going crazy for us and we’re like, ‘What’s going on?’ They were like, ‘Go Lehigh, beat Duke!’ They were screaming. It was nice to have fans here that weren’t Duke. I’ve never seen two schools that hate each other so much.” The Mountain Hawks led most of the first half despite shooting just 38 percent from the field. Lehigh grabbed the lead for good at the 8:21 mark of the second half when Mackey McKnight made a 3-pointer. The momentum continued to build as the game went on and the Mountain Hawks started to pull away in the final three minutes. McCollum hit a 3-pointer off a screen from Gabe Knutson and John Adams followed with a breakaway dunk to push the lead to 61-54 with two minutes to go. “I told my teammates all year whenever in doubt get me the ball and I’ll make a play for us,” McCollum said. Duke would get as close as three twice in the final 30 seconds, including when Quinn Cook hit a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left. Duke fouled McCollum on the inbounds pass and he made up for two earlier misses from the line by hitting both shots to seal a shocking victory that sent the Greensboro Coliseum crowd into a frenzy. “We’re not a juggernaut or anything like that,” Krzyzewski said. “We have known that throughout the whole season. You have to do it pretty precise, and we just didn’t play well offensively the last few weeks of the season. Actually we got better defensively, but offensively we just weren’t there.” Lehigh got a huge game from Knutson, who scored 17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the field and a 6-of-7 performance from the foul line. McCollum was 9 of 24 from the field and 10 of 16 from the foul line. He also handed out six assists and grabbed six rebounds.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tyler Zeller had 17 points and 15 rebounds to help North Carolina beat Vermont 77-58 on Friday in its NCAA tournament opener despite playing without injured starter John Henson. Freshman forward James Michael McAdoo added a season-high 17 points for the top-seeded Tar Heels (30-5), who pushed ahead by double figures late in the first half and then broke the game open after halftime. Sandro Carissimo had 11 points for the 16th-seeded Catamounts (24-12), who beat Lamar in one of Wednesday’s First Four games. That earned them a trip to Greensboro to face the Tar Heels in front of a home-state crowd wearing plenty of light blue. The Tar Heels didn’t turn in a rousing performance, but they had a danger-free afternoon and advanced to face Creighton on Sunday in the third round of the Midwest Regional. They also bought Henson another two days to recover from that sprained left wrist.

MIDWEST REGIONAL rassing first-round losses to Virginia Commonwealth and Ohio. The Hoyas weren’t going to let that happen a third time to a pesky underdog. NC State 79, SDSU 65 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Richard Howell doubled his average with 22 points and 11th-seeded North Carolina State used its muscle inside and sticky defense to upset San Diego State. The Wolfpack (23-12) advances to play Georgetown on Sunday at Nationwide Arena. Lorenzo Brown added 17 points, C.J. Leslie 15 and Scott Wood 10 for the Wolfpack, who are now 12-5 in their first NCAA games. N.C. State has won at least a game in seven of their last eight trips.

OMAHA, Neb. — Lewis Jackson made the go-ahead free throws with 22.8 seconds left after Saint Mary’s had rallied from 11 points down late to take its first lead, and the Boilermakers defeated the Gaels. Jorden Page made a 3-pointer with 44.2 seconds left to finish a 14-2 run that brought the Gaels back from a 66-55 deficit with 4:24 to play. Purdue’s Terone Johnson and Saint Mary’s Clint Steindl were called for traveling before Jackson made his free throws. Ohio 65, Michigan 60 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Walter Offutt grabbed a loose ball, was fouled by Evan Smotrycz and sank both of his free throws with 6.8 seconds left to preserve Ohio’s upset of Michigan in the second round of the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Regional. The 13th-seeded Bobcats (28-7) had the Wolverines on their heels throughout the game, but Michigan’s Trey Burke hit a 3 with 4:12 left to cut it to 63-60. But the Wolverines missed their final five shots, four by Burke.

tans (26-9), who made their first trip to the NCAA tournament a memorable one. They became the fifth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since fellow conference member Hampton in 2001. When it was over, O’Quinn led Norfolk State back to the locker room shouting, “We messed up some brackets! We messed up some brackets!” As he turned the corner, he looked over to a pack of reporters and said, “We even messed up my bracket.” O’Quinn had a chance to take some of the drama out of the finish when he went to the free throw line with 3.8 seconds to go, but the 70-percent foul shooter missed both tries. Missouri coach Frank Haith called a timeout with 2.9 seconds left to set up a final play, and the ball wound up in the hands of Phil Pressey. He took a couple of hard dribbles and let loose a 3-pointer from the wing that clanked off the back iron as the buzzer sounded. O’Quinn leaped for joy. Pressey fell to the court in disbelief. And the roar that rose inside CenturyLink Arena from anybody wearing anything other than black and gold may have drowned out the sound of brackets getting torn up all over America. “We just shocked everybody,” Brandon Wheeless said. Michael Dixon led Missouri (30-5) with 22 points, and Pressey and fellow guard Marcus Denmon finished with 20 points each. Pressey also contributed eight assists. “I’m very disappointed, as everyone in that locker room was,” Haith said. “I hurt for those seniors because they put so much into this. They had high expectations as we came into this season, but let’s understand one thing — they had a hell of a year.” The Tigers rolled into the tournament on the strength of a dominant run to the Big 12 tournament title, rarely getting tested in three games in Kansas City. That was enough to make Missouri a trendy Final Four pick, something the school had never before accomplished. Norfolk State made sure it wouldn’t happen this year, either. The plucky Spartans shot 54.2 percent from the field — 62.5 percent in the second half — and managed to knock down 10 of 19 3-point shots. They also turned the ball over just 11 times against the Tigers’ quickhanded guards, who had caused fits for most teams this season. “We matched up with Marquette earlier in the year. We

were accustomed to that style of play, the running style of play, getting shots up real quick,” Wheeless said. Missouri knew right away that Norfolk State wasn’t going away easily. The Spartans opened the game on 15-7 surge, turning most of the folks dressed in Florida blue and Virginia orange into surrogate fans. And when Missouri jumped ahead on the strength of three consecutive 3-pointers, Norfolk State didn’t seem to be rattled. Fifth-year coach Anthony Evans simply called a timeout to regroup, and McEachin curled in a 3-pointer when play resumed to push the Spartans back ahead. Things were going so well for Norfolk State in the first half that O’Quinn, an 18-percent shooter from beyond the arc, swished one from the top of the key. Michigan State 89, LIU Brooklyn 67 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Draymond Green scored 24 points in a triple-double, Derrick Nix added 18 points and top-seeded Michigan State fought off the upset bug that took down two No. 2 seeds in the NCAA tournament, advancing in the West Regional with an 89-67 win over LIU Brooklyn on Friday night. The Spartans (28-7) finally put away the pesky No. 16 Blackbirds (25-9) with a 14-4 run midway through the second half. Florida 71, Virginia 45 OMAHA, Neb. — Bradley Beal had 14 points and 11 rebounds, reserve Casey Prather scored a career-high 14 and Florida pulled away in the second half for a victory over Virginia. The Gators (24-10) finished the first half on a 17-4 run to shake off a slow start and get out to a 30-22 lead. They shot 70 percent in the second half, pushing their lead to more than 20 points. Mike Scott had 15 points for Virginia (22-10). Florida, averaging a nationleading 9.9 3-pointers a game, was 4 of 23 from long range but made 24 of 30 from inside the arc. Saint Louis 61, Memphis 54 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kwamain Mitchell scored 22 points, including three big 3-pointers, and Saint Louis rode its gritty defense past Memphis. Mitchell closed the first half by banking in a 3, then nailed two others to help the ninthseeded Billikens (26-7) overturn an eight-point second-half deficit. They’ll move on to play the winner of LIU Brooklyn and top-seeded Michigan State on Sunday.

Hanover Area’s Kopacz gets Hall call

Goalies enjoying the extra rubber

Coach who won a state title retired in 1996 as all-time leader in wins for Hawkeyes. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Al Kopacz remembers getting his letter of resignation ready to end his 15 years as Hanover Area’s football coach. And he remembers letting it sit for a few days until he finally handed it in. That was back in the summer of 1997. Kopacz hasn’t coached since then, but his achievements will be recognized 15 summers later with his induction to the Pennsylvania State Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. “I just found out (Thursday),” Kopacz said. “It was sort of unexpected after being out all these years;1996 was my last year coaching. So I’ve been out of it for 16

years, but some people nominated me and it came through. “It’s nice because it’s an unexpected gift and I’m really honored by it.” Kopacz will be inducted at a breakfast on Friday, June17, in Hershey, as part of the Big 33 Game weekend. He’ll join a hall that includes several other Wyoming Valley Conference coaches including GAR’s Luther Richards and Charlie Fick, Meyers’ Mickey Gorham, Wyoming Area’s Paul Marranca and Wyoming Valley West’s Jim Fennell. Kopacz posted a 101-70-2 career record at Hanover Area. His 1990 team won the PIAA Class 2A state championship with a 20-19 overtime victory over Canevin Catholic. His 1991 squad returned to the state title game, but lost 27-0 to Aliquippa. Berwick, with seven appearances in the Class 3A championship game, is the only other WVC pro-

gram to play for more than one state title. His teams won 30 consecutive games from 1989-1991. The Hawkeyes also won four WVC divisional titles and four Eastern Conference championships under Kopacz. The 1983 and 1984 Eastern Conference crowns were particularly pleasing since it was the highest achievement a WVC team could attain prior to the state playoffs starting in 1988. “When we won it in ’83, the HarrisburgPatriot-Newsjustrankedall the teams in the state,” Kopacz said. “We were the top-ranked B school. They had A and B schools back then, and didn’t have 3A and 2A and stuff like that. “So we were the top-ranked B school and were like the mythical state champs in 1983.” The success never fueled Kopacz’s desire to return to coaching after he resigned in June 1997 as Hanover Area’s all-time victory

leader. “I really didn’t,” Kopacz said. “I did it for 15 years and had seven years as an assistant prior to that. I got to the point where we used to put in a lot of time where it just got overwhelming. I said, ‘You know, I think I had enough.’” Kopacz, 62, retired after 33 years asaneducatoratHanoverAreaand moved to Florida seven years ago. He resides in Venice, which is about 12 miles south of Sarasota. He gets back to the area one or two times a year and still follows WVC football by reading newspapers onlineandtalkingtohisformerassistants and players. “Ireallyhavetothankalotofpeople who got me to this point,” Kopaczsaid.“I’mtheonewhogetsthe accolades, but it’s the players, the coaches and all of Hanover Area. “Hanover Area School District really treated me nice and gave me the opportunity. I’m really appreciative of all of them.”

place finishes in the 200 medley relay and senior Rebekah Campo’s 55.97-second time in the 100yard butterfly. No butterflies for Cheilli, though. Just a little bewilderment. His time of 21.80 in the morning preliminaries accomplished his year-long goal of breaking 22 seconds in the 50 free and normally would have guaranteed him a spot in the championship medal swim. But two other competitors matched Chielli’s mark in the preliminaries, forcing a swim-off between the three for the final two spots of the medal swim. "That was my first time," Chielli said of the race for the title race. "It was quite an experience, pretty intense." Chielli lost out, by six-hundredths of a second. That put him into the night’s consolation heat -- where he placed second in the race and 10th in the state with a time of 21.78. "It happens," Chielli, a senior, said. "The swim-off was pretty tough. But I got through it." That meant Chielli swam five 50-yard races on the day -- three in the individual race and two more as part of his relay. "I was tired by the end of the prelims," Chielli said. "But I came back tonight, I was pretty rested." Evidently. After shooting for a time of under 22 seconds all season while swimming 50 yards, Chielli did it five times in one day. "He was on the edge of breaking 22 all season," Dallas coach Romayne Mosier said. "Today, he goes 21 five times. That’s a great

accomplishment." At least one of Holy Redeemer’s girls relay teams accomplished what it wanted. After Redeemer’s 10th-seeded girls 200-yard medley relay team suffered the disappointment of a disqualification in morning preliminaries, another Royals relay made the school smile. Especially senior Finnegan, who finished with a flourish. Anchoring the 200 freestyle team, Finnegan darted past one competitor and held off another to secure a sixth-place medal for Redeemer. "It’s my last high school swim ever," said Finnegan, a four-time competitor in the state championships who wrapped up her

individual events earlier in the day. "I just gave it my all." That extra effort helped Redeemer’s 200 freestyle team to finish in 1:41.33 and move up a spot from its seventh-place seeding accomplished in morning preliminaries. "We got the eighth-place medal last year, that was exciting," Finnegan said. "This is even more exciting. We moved up two places (from 2011). We worked really hard this season. This is good. We earned this." She had plenty of help in getting to the medal stand one final time, from relay teammates Julie Ann Mahle, Melissa Cruz and Elizabeth’s younger sister, Rachel Finnegan.

"We’re really happy with their swims," Holy Redeemer coach Maura Pawlenok said. "I’m just so pleased we got to the medal round." For Zerfoss, the pleasure was left in the past. A three-time state medalist doing her final state dives, Zerfoss scored low on a couple of dives during the first round. And although she rallied to make the girls finals, it wasn’t enough to earn a fourth consecutive state medal. "I messed up two of my dives in the first round and it kind of put me in a slump," Zerfoss said. "I just couldn’t bounce back. I just got too excited. But it’s not that bad."

NCAA WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Accordino an All-American after reaching semifinals From staff, wire reports

ST. LOUIS -- While wrestling for Coughlin, Justin Accordino had the most successful career of any Crusader. He has the most wins in school history, four District 2 championships and a pair of state medals among those accomplishments. Now at Hofstra, he’s continuing his legacy. The 149-pound redshirt junior earned his first All-American status on Friday at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center. Accordino (29-12) defeated Nick Lester from Oklahoma, 11-3 in the morning’s quarterfinals to secure a medal and advance to Friday night’s semifinals. In the semis, he faced last year’s runnerup, Frank Molinaro from defending national champion Penn State and lost 5-0 to fall into the wrestleback round. Accordino, who was the only unseeded wrestler in the country to advance to the semis, only let the unbeaten Molinaro (35-0) score five points, which is his lowest total of his four matches in the event. Accordino will wrestle this

morning in the consolation semifinals and can finish no worse than sixth in the nation. The Coughlin grad is one of four local wrestlers to participate in St. Louis. Crestwood grad Jake O’Hara (Columbia 157-pounder), Wyoming Seminary alum Mike McMullan (Northwestern, 285) and Delaware Valley product Joe Kennedy (Lehigh, 197) wrestled in the wrestle backs Friday night. Kennedy and McMullan will also end their seasons as All-Americans. Like Accordino, McMullan participated in Friday morning’s quarterfinals, but he ran into the No. 2 seed in the bracket in Minnesota’s Anthony Nelson and was pinned to fall into the consolations. O’Hara and Kennedy each won their first consolation match of the day on Friday morning to advance to the next round. But the junior O’Hara lost in his next match and will have to wait until next year to try to reach All-American status, finishing just two wins shy of a medal. He ends his season with a 30-17 mark, including two wins at the

national tournament. Kennedy won his sixth round consolation match and joins Accordino as District 2 alums becoming an All-American for the first time as a collegiate. He will wrestle for a medal this morning. After losing in the quarters, McMullan dropped into the wrestleback round and rebounded to win his first consolation bout. As a freshman for the Wildcats, McMullan will become an AllAmerican after a pair of National Prep championships wrestling for Wyoming Seminary. Penn State pulling away Penn State has all but wrapped up its second straight NCAA wrestling championship, and with a day to spare. The Nittany Lions won all five of their semifinal matches Friday night, and have unbeaten top seeds in three weight classes heading into the finals. Molinaro at 149 pounds, David Taylor at 165 and Ed Ruth at 174 are a combined 93-0 after impressive victories on Friday night. The Nittany Lions also will have finalists Saturday night at 125

pounds with No. 10 Nico Megaludis and at 184 with No. 6 Quentin Wright. Penn State had 124 points and a 23.5-point gap over Minnesota in its bid to stay on top under coach Cael Sanderson, stretching what had been a 17-point lead after the quarterfinals earlier Friday. Iowa had 93 points, followed by Cornell with 86, Ohio State with 60 and Illinois and Lehigh with 57.5 apiece. Cornell and Iowa have three finalists apiece. Cornell and Iowa have three finalists apiece. Eight of the 10 top seeds advanced to the finals, with 184 pounds the exception with Wright, the defending champion, facing No. 4 Steve Bosak of Cornell. The biggest underdog from the semifinals was 11th seed Brandon Hatchett of Lehigh, who earned the right to face Taylor at 165. Top seeded heavyweight Ryan Flores of American appeared dazed much of the time in a 6-2 loss to fourth seed Zachary Rey of Lehigh, the defending champion. Flores used all of his injury time.

Including 3 last weekend, shootout wins mean game pucks for netminders. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE --- For Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goaltender Scott Munroe, a shootout has its perks. A shootout puts the extra point squarely on the goaltender, who can win it or lose it with a single save. And it also gives a goaltender an opportunity to get his name on one of the game pucks that are posted on a board in the Penguins locker room after each win. Munroe has four, including two from last weekend when the Penguins went to the shootout in three straight games. “That’s the only time we can get a puck up there,” Munroe said after Friday’s practice. “It’s nice they do recognize us in the shootouts.” And rightly so. Without the seven shootout wins, the Penguins would be tied with Hershey at 72 points for third place in the East Division. Munroe stopped all 10 of the shootout attempts he faced in back-to-back games last weekend, while backup Patrick Killeen stopped four of five attempts in the third game Sunday to earn his first AHL win. “I can’t remember three games in a row that all went to the shootout,” Munroe said. “We had some fans follow us over the weekend, so we gave them as much hockey as we could.” Heading into tonight’s home matchup against Worcester, the Penguins have been in 11 shootouts so far this season and won seven. Last season they went to the shootout eight times. Three consecutive shootout games is only one example of a season that has strayed from normalcy many times. Twice they’ve been in games with two penalty shots, including one while the Penguins were shorthanded. They also had eightgame win streaks followed by agonizing losing streaks, special teams play that has been horrendous at times and brilliant at others, along with 24 road wins – tops in the AHL. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a season like this,” said winger Colin McDonald, who netted two shootout game-winners last weekend. “We’ve kind of seen it all, just about every situation. I hope that going through all of this prepares us for what lies ahead.” Even Munroe couldn’t help notice how strange of a season it’s been.

NEXT GAME Worcester at WBS Penguins 7:05 p.m. tonight Mohegan Sun Arena, W-B Twp.

“There’s been ups, downs, win streaks, losing streaks, shootouts… it’s been an interesting year,” he said. “We’re on the winning end more often than not, so that’s a good thing.” Head coach John Hynes agreed and said his players have actually grown accustomed to some of the odd circumstances. For example, when the Penguins went into their third straight shootout against Springfield last Sunday, his players were so used to it that they were eager to jump over the boards to take a shot. “By Sunday we were in a bit of a rhythm,” Hynes said. “It’s definitely been interesting how we’ve won some games. It hasn’t been the traditional way.” MACINTYRE SUSPENSION Winger Steve MacIntyre was suspended four games after he fought virtually every opponent on the ice, including goaltender Paul Dainton, during Sunday’s game in Springfield. MacIntyre, who wasn’t at Friday’s practice, is eligible to return March 24 against St. John’s. Hynes supported the league’s ruling and also commended MacIntyre for ending things when he did. “It’s a situation where he went out there and there could’ve been a fight. There wasn’t one and it spurred from there,” Hynes said. “To his credit he kept himself under control and he stopped everything when he could’ve kept going. “We support the ruling by the league. The situation was dealt with very fairly and we’re moving on.” BRIEF PRACTICE Friday’s practice, which followed a rest day Thursday, lasted less than an hour. Hynes said the practices take a different focus this late in the season. “At this point in the year guys know a lot of the drills and concepts. Now, it’s just a quick reinforcement as opposed to having to implement new things in practice,” he said. INJURY UPDATE Defenseman Joey Mormina will likely miss tonight’s game due to an illness, Hynes said. He listed Mormina as day-to-day.

Berwick grad Lazar notches first win The Times Leader staff

KINGSTON -- Junior Zach Lazar pitched six innings, allowing just three runs on six hits to record the win on the mound as Wilkes posted a 14-7 win over Eastern in both teams’ Freedom Conference opener Friday afternoon at Artillery Park. Tay Sidler put Wilkes up early with a two-run homer over the centerfield fence in the first inning. Dallas graduate Scott Skammer and Holy Redeemer product Stephen Ruch hitting back-to-back singles as both runners moved into scoring position in the third. From there, Carmen Lopresto (Pittston Area) connected on a two-run double and later scored on an RBI-triple

to right field by Matt Ruch (Holy Redeemer) as Wilkes extended its advantage to 6-0 through three. Wilkes added two more runs in the fourth and then broke open the game in the sixth, scoring six runs in the frame capped by a three-run homer from Ruch. Joel Watson and Dan Pisanchyn added RBI hits to provide Wilkes all the breathing room it would need to seal the Freedom victory. Lazar, a Berwick alum, stuck out six Eastern batters to move to 1-1 in three starts. Wilkes returns to play today to complete the series with a doubleheader at Eastern. First pitch is scheduled for noon.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Peyton Manning won’t be a Dolphin or a Cardinal. But he could still join the Titans, the Broncos or even — get ready for this — the 49ers. The race to sign the NFL’s only four-time MVP and the most prized free agent of the offseason heated up Friday as Denver Broncos executive John Elway and coach John Fox watched the star quarterback throw at Duke and San Francisco was revealed as a stealth suitor. A person familiar with the situation said that Manning worked out for 49ers’ coach Jim Harbaugh on Tuesday night at Duke. Manning also threw the ball at Duke’s athletic fields Friday afternoon for the Broncos. He was seen leaving the Blue Devils’ indoor practice facility wearing blue shorts, a gray t-shirt and no helmet heading to the outdoor practice field followed by Elway and Fox. Manning came off the field about 4 p.m., and the Broncos contingent left about the same time. Miami Dolphins MIAMI — Spurned by Peyton Manning, the Miami Dolphins turned Friday to their backup plan — backup quarterback Matt Flynn. Manning telephoned the Dolphins on Thursday to advise them he would sign elsewhere, and the team began courting free-agent Flynn. Flynn, a backup last season with Green Bay, was scheduled to visit Miami by the weekend after concluding a visit with the Seattle Seahawks. Arizona Cardinals PHOENIX — Out of the race to nab Peyton Manning, the Arizona Cardinals are moving on with quarterback Kevin Kolb. Kolb remained on the roster at a 4 p.m. deadline Friday, ensuring him a $7 million bonus the team would not have paid if it had landed Manning. Coach Ken Whisenhunt issued a statement saying that “acquiring Peyton Manning is no longer an option for us.” N.Y. Jets NEW YORK — The Jets have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Chaz Schilens, giving New York a big and speedy target. They also signed quarterback Drew Stanton to a $1.25 million, one-year contract Friday. The 6-foot-4 Schilens spent the last four seasons with the Oakland Raiders after being a seventh-round draft pick out of San Diego State in 2008. Washington Redskins WASHINGTON — Free agent cornerback Cedric Griffin has signed with the Washington Redskins, agreeing to a one-year deal which could be worth as much as $2.5 million. Griffin was cut last week by Minnesota, where he played for six seasons. The Redskins also announced that tight end Fred Davis has signed his franchise player tender, a one-year deal worth $5.446 million. San Francisco 49ers SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back and special teams standout Rock Cartwright to a one-year contract. The team made the announcement Friday, soon after reports emerged that the Niners and coach Jim Harbaugh had worked out quarterback Peyton Manning at Duke on Tuesday. Baltimore Ravens OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk agreed to three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. The 35-year-old Birk has started every game in three seasons with Baltimore.

Heat avoid epic collapse in Philly Biffle The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — LeBron James scored 29 points, Dwyane Wade had 12 points and 10 rebounds and the Miami Heat held on to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 84-78 on Friday night. The Heat almost had an epic collapse after leading by 29 points in the third quarter. Led by a hard-charging Lou Williams and Evan Turner, the Sixers sliced Miami’s lead to four points. James, though, refused to let the lead completely slip away. He hit a pull-up jumper and sank a pair of free throws in the final 90 seconds to help the Heat end a four-game road losing streak. The Heat had lost two straight games overall. Sixers part owner Will Smith brought his power family — wife Jada Pinkett Smith and son Jaden Smith — to the Wells Fargo Center, and sat courtside for the second time this season. He stood and applauded when the Sixers went on their burst, and waved and smiled at fans. Turner had 13 points, Williams 12, and Andre Iguodala had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Smith, filming a movie in the area, showed up at halftime and worked his movie star mojo on the Sixers. Down 61-32 early in the third, the Sixers whittled the lead to 13 by the end of the quarter, then got hot in the fourth. Jodie Meeks hit a 3pointer, followed with a dunk, then Turner made a 3 to cut it to 73-68. Turner has turned into Philadelphia’s best player since his recent promotion to the starting lineup. He had six points through three quarters, but scored seven in the first 9 minutes of the fourth. His jumper made it a five-point game, and then he fought for an offensive rebound and wiggled his way through a pair of defenders to make it 77-72.

Knicks 115, Pacers 100 NEW YORK — Tyson Chandler scored 16 points, Jeremy Lin had 13, and the New York Knicks rolled to their second straight dominant victory under Mike Woodson, beating the Indiana Pacers. Reserves JR Smith (16 points) and Steve Novak (12) had big games again for the Knicks in the opener of a home-and-home series. Two nights after beating Portland by 42 on the day Mike D’Antoni resigned, New York led this one by as much as 32 and shut down Pacers star Danny Granger, who had angered them by saying Friday and Saturday were two “very winnable games.” Instead, the Pacers never led and had their two-game winning streak snapped. Granger shot 4 of 15 for nine points, while All-Star Roy Hibbert was 2 of 8 and scored four. Darren Collison led Indiana with 15 points.

Magic 86, Nets 70 ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard scored 18 points, Jameer Nelson and Glen Davis each had 13 and the Orlando Magic easily beat the New Jersey Nets. Ryan Anderson added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Magic, who built a 20-point lead and cruised from there. Orlando won for the fourth time in five games and extended its winning streak against the Nets to 10. Reserve Gerald Green scored 15 points to lead the Nets. DeShawn Stevenson, who scored 11 points, was the only New Jersey starter to reach double figures. Hawks 102, Wizards 88 ATLANTA — Joe Johnson matched his season high with 34 points, including the first two baskets of a decisive 11-0

run in the fourth quarter, and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Washington Wizards. Josh Smith had 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for the Hawks. Trevor Booker scored 18 points for the Wizards, who have lost eight straight in Atlanta since 2008. After trailing 54-50 at halftime, the Hawks took the lead with a 24-8 run that turned a 60-56 deficit in the third quarter into an 80-68 lead less than 3 minutes into the final period. After the Wizards scored six straight, the Hawks stretched the lead with an 11-0 run which started with back-to-back baskets by Johnson.

Trail Blazers 100, Bulls 89 CHICAGO (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 points and Wesley Matthews added 18 and the revamped Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Chicago Bulls 100-89 on Friday. After an emotional victory against the Heat without Derrick Rose on Wednesday, the Bulls were unable to win a second straight game with the reigning MVP sitting on the bench with a strained groin. One day after trading starters Gerald Wallace and Marcus Camby then firing head coach Nate McMillan, the Blazers hung with the Bulls through three quarters then pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Kuba lifts Senators into first in Northeast with overtime tally The Associated Press

OTTAWA — Filip Kuba scored 3:07 into overtime Friday night as the Ottawa Senators moved into first place in the Northeast Division with a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. After taking a pass from Daniel Alfredsson, Kuba beat Carey Price with a slap shot from the top of the left faceoff circle. Erik Karlsson assisted on Kuba’s winner, giving him

four points in his last three games and 71 points in 71 games on the season. Kuba scored on Ottawa’s 33rd shot as the Senators passed idle Boston for first place in the Northeast, although the Bruins have two games in hand. Colin Greening also scored for the Senators, while Tomas Plekanec had a goal for the Canadiens. The Senators snapped a

two-game skid and earned a little redemption from their 3-2 shootout loss in Montreal on Wednesday night. They have also earned points in five straight games. Ben Bishop faced just 14 shots for Ottawa. Despite the loss, the Canadiens also have points in five straight games, including three wins, as they continue to climb from the basement of the East-

ern Conference. Blackhawks 4, Stars 1 DALLAS — Dave Bolland and Patrick Sharp scored in the game’s first two minutes, Corey Crawford made 21 saves, and the surging Chicago Blackhawks beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 on Friday night. Bolland’s 18th goal of the season came 10 seconds in, and Sharp made it 2-0 at 1:42 with his 27th.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Greg Biffle knows he won’t be perfect all season. He’ll take what he can get right now. The Sprint Cup points leader continued his strong start to the season Friday by winning the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway. “I know this isn’t going to last all season, but I’m enjoying the hell out of it right now,” Biffle said. He turned a lap of 125.215 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford to take the top qualifying spot for Sunday’s race. Biffle has opened the season with three third-place finishes, and has not qualified lower than ninth. “I gotta pinch myself. I think I’m dreaming,” he said. “I’m having a great time, the time of my life.” It’s the 10th pole of Biffle’s career, but his first at Bristol. He’s credited his strong start to the season to an offseason overhaul to his No. 16 team. Biffle has a new crew chief in Matt Puccia, and every crew member was changed. “They are a great group of guys, I’m happy to have them,” Biffle said. “Just plain and simply Matt Puccia is the reason why we’re running and competing and finishing where we are. This team needed leadership and he was willing to step up and take the task on and he’s done a fantastic job so far.” AJ Allmendinger qualified second in a Penske Racing Dodge. It’s his first top-10 starting position of 2012, but third in 10 previous Sprint Cup races at Bristol. Allmendinger has had a rough start to his first season with Penske, opening the year with a 34th-place finish at Daytona followed by an18th at Phoenix and a 37th at Las Vegas. Ryan Newman qualified third in a Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing. Jeff Gordon qualified fourth in a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Brad Keselowski was fifth to put both Penske cars in the top five. Regan Smith was sixth, followed by Aric Almirola, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne. Timmy Hill was the only driver who failed to qualify. Robby Gordon withdrew because of mechanical problems.

GOLF

Transition at top of tournament as Dufner takes two-stroke lead The Associated Press

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Jason Dufner and Padraig Harrington felt cautious at times for different reasons Friday in the Transitions Championship. They also had a far different outcome. Harrington was 12 shots worse than his course-record 61 in the opening round. Dufner, trying to play more conservatively when he doesn’t feel confident about attacking, made it through another round at Innisbrook without a bogey and posted a second straight 5-under 66 to take a two-shot lead into the weekend. “Pretty stress-free round,” Dufner said. Harrington didn’t feel as though he hit the ball much worse in a round of 73. He realized it would be difficult to back up his record score on the Copperhead course with another low score, and it crept into his putting, especially on the back nine. “I’m happy with my game, but when you shoot a good score, it’s hard to match the next day,” Harrington said. “When you’re leading the tournament, it’s hard not to be a little bit cautious, and I think at

times I was on the greens.” William McGirt had a 68 and joined Harrington at 8-under 134. Luke Donald, who can return to No. 1 in the world with a win, had a 68 and was in the large group at 7-under 135 that included Puerto Rico winner George McNeill. LPGA Founders Cup PHOENIX — Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot a 2-under 70 to take a one-stroke over five players after the second round of the LPGA Founders Cup. A day after playing a sevenhole stretch on the back nine in 7 under, the Taiwanese star opened with nine pars on the same nine. She had three birdies and a bogey on her final nine to reach 9-under 135 on another perfect 80-degree day at Wildfire Golf Club. Second-ranked Na Yeon Choi was second along with fellow South Korean players I.K. Kim and Meena Lee and Japan’s Ai Miyazato and Mika Miyazato. Kim had a 66, Lee and Mika Miyazato shot 67, Ai Miyazato had a 68, and Choi shot a 69. Tseng successfully defended her LPGA Thailand title in February for her 13th LPGA

Tour victory. She led the tour last season with seven victories — including major victories in the LPGA Championship and Women’s British Open — and finished the year with 12 worldwide titles. Toshiba Classic NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Bernhard Langer birdied the final hole for a 6-under 65 and a share of the first-round lead with Bobby Clampett and Olin Browne in the Champions Tour’s Toshiba Classic.

Langer, the 2008 winner, holed an 8-iron from 143 yards for an eagle on the par-4 sixth hole in his bogey-free round at Newport Beach Country Club. Clampett birdied three of the last four holes and finished with eight birdies and two bogeys. He holed a 30-foot birdie chip in the sixth hole. Browne also

birdied the par-5 18th, and had just 27 putts. Loren Roberts, Tom Kite, Steve Pate, Bill Glasson and David Eger were a stroke back. Fred Couples, the 2010 winner, had a 67. Defending champion Nick Price shot a 70. He opened with a career-best 60 last year.

Retirement on hold for Yankees’ Pettitte The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — Pitcher Andy Pettitte has ended his one-year retirement and is making a comeback with the New York Yankees. The Yankees announced Friday that Pettitte had signed a minor league deal with an invitation to big league spring training. If added to the major league roster, Pettitte would get a $2.5 million, one-year contract. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said there are no incentives in the deal and that Pettitte — who is expected in camp Tuesday — will only be a starter. Cashman believes Pettitte will not be ready to break camp with the team when spring training ends early next month. The 39-year-old Pettitte last played in 2010. The left-hander sat out last season, but was with the Yankees in camp this spring as an instructor. He threw batting practice several times, and also had a private bullpen session for team officials, including Cashman, manager Joe Girardi and pitching coach Larry Rothschild last Tuesday. Pettitte first expressed interest in pitching again last December. Pettitte is 240-138 lifetime. In his last season with the Yankees, he was an All-Star and went 11-3. Derek Jeter will be out until Tuesday because of a stiff left calf, an injury the shortstop says is “not that big of an issue.” New York manager Joe Girardi announced the news before Friday’s spring training game against Washington. Girardi says he wants to avoid unnecessary risks. Jeter spent time on the disabled list last season with a right calf injury.

trelle Willis. The team announced the move Friday on Twitter. The 30-year-old Willis signed a deal with the Phillies this offseason and was competing for a bullpen spot this spring. A two-time All Star with the Florida Marlins, Willis has pitched for four teams in nine seasons, all of them as a starter. The Phillies signed him to a nonguaranteed contract in December and he will receive $139,000 in severance pay. In three appearances this spring, Willis has allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks in 22⁄3 innings. The Phillies also reassigned catcher Steven Lerud to minor league camp on Friday.

St. Louis Cardinals JUPITER, Fla. — Ailing St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter has thrown off a mound for the first time in nearly two weeks. Carpenter had been limited in workouts since March 3 because of a stiff neck. Carpenter threw 30 fastballs at about 75 percent on Friday. He said he felt better than he had expected and was happy with the session. If he feels well Saturday, he could try to throw off the mound again Sunday or Monday, and pitch batting practice.

Kansas City Royals SURPRISE, Ariz. — Royals catcher Salvador Perez had surgery Friday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and will miss at least three months. The surgery was performed at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles by Dr. Clarence Shields and team physician Dr. Vincent Key. The doctors said Perez will need 12-14 weeks to recover. Philadelphia Phillies The 21-year-old Perez hurt his BRADENTON, Fla. — The knee while warming up pitcher Philadelphia Phillies have re- Jonathan Sanchez prior to a leased left-handed pitcher Don- spring training game Tuesday.

Mount Airy tables strong

Table games revenue at Mount Airy Casino Resort near Mount Pocono jumped 46 percent in February compared to a year ago, according to figures released Friday by the state Gaming Control Board. The $3.4 million in revenue ranked Mount Airy sixth out of the 10 casinos in Pennsylvania. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs saw a 4 percent increase, to $3.2 million. Statewide table games revenue was up 30 percent, led by the Sands Bethlehem, which took in $10.7 million. Pennsylvania collected $9.2 million in taxes on $56.6 million in table games revenue in February.

Direct Air files Chapter 11

Just three days after abruptly stopping service and leaving travelers stranded, the parent of discount airline Direct Air has filed for bankruptcy protection. Southern Sky Air & Tours LLC late Thursday filed for Chapter 11 protection in Massachusetts. Court documents show the company has between $10 million and $50 million in debt and just $500,000 to $1 million in assets. The airline abruptly stopped flying Monday afternoon, apparently because it couldn’t pay its fuel bills. Direct Air began flying in March of 2007. It serves 17 cities in the Midwest, East and South, including Allentown.

Sears closing 62 stores

Sears Holdings Corp plans to close 62 retail stores in the first half of this year to reduce expenses. The closings include 43 Sears Hometown stores, 10 Sears Hardware stores and 9 The Great Indoors stores, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. The company, which also owns the Kmart chain, had 4,010 stores as of Jan. 28. None of the stores slated to close are in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Germany will speed up its plans to reduce new borrowing as it works to balance its budget by 2016, an official said Friday. The federal government will reduce its new borrowing between 2013 and 2016 by about 38 percent, the senior official said. A robust economy has helped increase Germany’s tax intake, allowing the country to run up less new debt.

CHICAGO — Package food makers are thinking outside the bottle and can. More to the point, they’re increasingly partial to pouches. Kitchen staples from Campbell Soup Co. and H.J. Heinz will be joining other consumer products in pouches this year. The trend is being driven by savings on packaging and shipping costs as well as aesthetics — an upscale pouch sporting elaborate graphics offers a modernized look and premium appeal, marketers say.

By PETER SVENSSON Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Apple’s latest iPad drew the customary lines of die-hard fans looking to be first and entrepreneurs looking to make a quick profit. Many buyers lined up for hours before the 8 a.m. release, and in some cases overnight, as the tablet computer went on sale in the U.S. and nine other countries. The new model comes with a faster processor, a much sharper screen and an improved camera, though the changes aren’t as big as the upgrade from the original model to the iPad 2. As with the previous models, prices start at $499 in the U.S. Dan Krolikowski, 34, was first in line at a Madison, Wis., mall. He arrived 14 hours before the store’s opening and was buying an extra one to sell on the “gray market.” “Last year I sold one on eBay and made over $500 in profit,” Krolikowski said, leaning back in a reclining lawn chair he brought. “I’m hoping to do that again this year.” At the Best Buy in Wilkes-Barre Township, employees handed out vouchers at 8 a.m., good for one iPad after the store opened at 10 a.m. A store employee declined to say how many vouchers were given out. Those who ordered iPads online started getting them delivered Friday. However, Apple now says there’s a two- to threeweek shipping delay for online orders. There’s also demand in countries where the new iPad isn’t yet available. In Hong Kong, a steady stream of buyers picked up their new devices at preset times at the city’s sole Apple store after entering an online lottery. The system, which required buyers to have local ID cards, helped thwart vis-

With a squeezable pouch and nozzle, the 10-ounce product will sell for 99 cents compared with $1.99 for a 20-ounce bottle. While pouches have been prominent in Europe, Central and South America for five years or more, they’re beginning to gain traction in the United States, which is notoriously slow in adapting to trends, said Lynn Dornblaser, director of CPG insights at Mintel.

WASHINGTON — A sharp jump in gas prices drove a measure of U.S. consumer costs up in February. But outside higher pump prices, inflation stayed mild. The Labor Department said Friday the consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in February, the largest increase in 10 months. Gas prices rose 6 percent to account for most of the gain. Food prices were unchanged for the first time in 19 months. And excluding food and energy, so-called “core” prices rose just 0.1 percent. Mild inflation allows the Fed to maintain its low interest-rate policy. “Not much to stew about on the inflation front,” Robert Kavcic, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a note to clients. Most economists expect inflation to remain in check this year. The prices of agricultural commodities such as corn and cotton have come down. And while more Americans are working, few are getting big pay raises. That has limited retailers’ ability to charge more. In the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen 2.9 percent, the same year-overyear change as last month. Core prices have increased 2.2 percent over the same period. Still, gas prices keep rising. The jump at the pump could slow growth if consumers are forced to cut back on other purchases. The average price for a gallon of gas on Friday was $3.83, according to AAA. That’s 32 cents higher than a month ago. Consumers are seeing relief elsewhere. Grocery store prices appear to be leveling off after increasing for most of the past two years. Consumers paid less last month for vegetables, dairy products, and meat, fish and eggs. Clothing costs dropped by the most in more than five years in February and airfares dipped. And natural gas prices dropped sharply last month and have declined nearly 10 percent in the past year. NATURAL GAS $2.33

We've now gone ﬁve straight days with having temperatures well above normal and that trend will continue into next week. This is our warmest March since 1955, but so far there have been no record high temperatures. But out west, records are being shattered this month with readings near 80 in places like Chicago, Madison and Minneapolis. Since 1872, there have been only ten 80 degree days in Chicago in March. Already this month there have been three. Here at home, in addition to the warm weather, our rainfall deﬁcit continues to grow and is now at 1.8" below normal for the year. - Tom Clark

SANDRA SNYDER WALL TO WALL

By SARAH WOLFE

What’s a word for this cruel new addiction?

For The Associated Press

itchens have become so serious. All that granite, dark wood and stainless steel. The heart of the home these days is more like a sleek and severe shrine to haute cuisine. But kitchens don’t have to be as stressful as an episode of “Top Chef.” Designers are increasingly turning to retro, whimsical touches such as coffee-cup wallpaper, bright vintage dishware patterns, and colorful appliances and electronics to bring the fun back into this increasingly streamlined room. “I think we’re reaching back to simpler times, when America was kind of on track and things were looking up. ... It’s something that hits an emotional chord,” says Rosanna Bowles, founder and owner of the Seattle-based Rosanna Inc. tableware line. Here are some fun and simple ways to put the “kitsch” back into your kitchen. See KITCHEN, Page 2C

Decorating disguises for tough spots By MARY BETH BRECKENRIDGE Akron Beacon Journal

Just about every home has an eyesore. Maybe it’s a wonky window or flooring that’s seen better days. It grates on your nerves, but fixing or replacing it is too expensive, too impractical or too far down the priority list. Still, that doesn’t mean you have to look the other way. We’ve gathered a few solutions for disguising some common decorating problems, so put on your can-do attitude and get ready to tackle that trouble spot. Weird windows Windows that are oddly shaped or just plain unattractive can get a greatly improved view with clever window treatments. Bath Township, Ohio, interior de-

Renters, in particular, are often stuck with carpet that doesn’t suit their taste. signer Alan Garren offers this trick for hiding those too-short, too-high, too-plain windows that are common in ranch homes from the 1960s: Extend the window frame all the way to the floor, then install a two-part shutter. One part covers the window; the other covers the wall below it. Keep the bottom part closed, and no one will know there isn’t a window behind it. Or cover the window with an attractive shade that extends below the window, suggested Christine Haught, who operates Christine Haught Ltd. Interior Design in Bath. Adding drapery panels on either side

would give the windows more visual weight, she said. Haught took a similar tack on an ’80s-style round-top window for which a client had lost the love. She mounted a woven wood shade to cover both the half-round window and the window below it, and flanked the shade with silk panels that extended from ceiling to floor. The shade didn’t entirely obscure the window when the sun shone through, but it made the window less apparent. Uneven walls A plain coat of paint won’t do much to hide an uneven wall surface, but an eye-fooling paint finish can make the flaws seem to disappear.

ith so many perky little crocuses popping out premature hellos, the seasonally affected among us have a golden opportunity to get right with our qi early this year. Ignore the skeptics who say winter hasn’t left us yet. I find all this premature outdoor frolicking most idoneous. So what if this was the winter that wasn’t? The previous recent winters that certainly were indeed justify any of us saying enow already. Yeah, enow. (Archaic for enough.) And, yeah, idoneous (i.e., appropriate). And, yeah, qi. (Our essence, baby.) What? I have plenty more where those came from, you know. Please excuse me, but it seems I’ve developed somewhat of an addiction, and if I don’t get it under control soon I’m afraid this can quickly turn into the spring that wasn’t. The spring I never left my house at night, even with all the extra daylight, because I just couldn’t rip myself away from Words With Friends. Familiar? (Alec Baldwin? Booted from a plane?) Yes, WWF is the torturous little app brought to us by Zynga, “connecting the world through games” and, arguably, destroying it, one unwitting victim at a time. If I don’t break myself away, I fear for my annual great spring projects list, which historically has seen only about a 25 percent completion rate by summer’s end anyway. Will I dip below 10 percent for the first time in half a decade, all because of a kind of Scrabble on steroids? And what of the resultant shame and self-loathing? This is a cry for help, if anyone’s listening. If you’re in my vicinity any time soon – the sooner the better – and you see me staring into my phone catatonically, but seemingly not doing anything, scream, loudly: “Step away from the smartphone, ma’am. Your life is waiting to be lived.” Now, I might seem wrapped up in something important, especially if my fingers are moving and my face reveals intense concentration, extreme pain or both, but now you know the truth. More than likely, I’m just engaged in some mortal lexical combat, sometimes across state lines, with one of my fiercest competitors, perhaps three or four of them at once. You might catch some whispery muttering or maybe an occasional louder, non-repeatable exclamation, say if “Harvard,” as I call my white whale of an opponent sitting all too highly and mightily up in Massachusetts, has just somehow laid down “qi” for 84 points even though I was sure all the q’s were gone. When I start talking to myself? That’s how you’ll know I’m far gone. Qi, in case you don’t know but care, is an essential force or vital energy believed to exist within all of us, a very breath of life that perhaps you haven’t heard of because of its key place in Chinese, not Western, medicine. Funny how such a thriving, pulsing little word can actually suck the life out of those who now encounter it on an almost daily basis. Yep, any self-respecting Words With Friends board left on my electronic logbook usually contains the word “qi,” probably lounging somewhere near the word “ka,” which – hey! – is another spiritual word, this time rooted in ancient Egypt. Our “ka” is akin to our soul, believed to live within our bodies while we walk the earth but to survive our mortal coils after death. Sure hope so because right now this silly little game is seriously eating away at at least one struggling soul, so it’s good to hear what a fighter this ka is. It’s also good to know it can rack up some major points when the chips are down. So can “jo,” which – did you know? – is just a cute synonym for sweetheart. You can use it sarcastically against someone like me: “Put down the phone, jo. Your rosebuds are calling. Something about gathering. Harness your qi now and save your ka later.”

Wallpaper and wallcoverings Ditch the staid neutrals in favor of a fun wallpaper, says Gina Shaw, a designer with Pennsylvania-based York Wallcoverings. The company’s new Bistro 750 collection contains a savory mix of fanciful fruit, cutlery, kitchen utensils and coffee cups in cheery colors such as teal, salmon and lime. “We really wanted to create wallpapers that would work in today’s kitchens, where families gather, eat, drink and socialize — a fun, bistro atmosphere,” Shaw says. Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, hosts of HGTV’s “Kitchen Cousins,” introduced a retro feel in one of their recent kitchen makeovers by attaching paneling from Inhabit Living in a basket-weave pattern to the walls. “After you install the panels, you can caulk the seams, sand them down a bit, put some primer on and add a big pop of color,” Carrino says. Appliances Also big in kitchens right now are retro appliances that look like they belong in grandma’s 1950s kitchen but run like their modern-day cousins. Carrino and Colaneri brought some quirk to a country kitchen by installing a retro range and hood set from Colorado-based Big Chill, which offers fridges, stoves and even dishwashers in any color but stainless steel, accented by chrome trim. “It looks like a classic car. ... It’s like having a Bosch or Frigidaire with that kind of dependability but you’ve got that cool, retro feel to the whole thing,” Carrino says. Kitchenaid and some small manufacturers also now make blenders, mixers and other appliances in funky colors such as

IN BRIEF On the shelf A good home repair manual is arguably just as valuable to a toolbox as a hammer or screwdriver. Stephen Fanuka and Edward Lewine have teamed up on one that’s easy for a firsttime homeowner to understand and use. “What’s a Homeowner to Do?” combines the know-how of Fanuka, a Manhattan contractor featured on DIY Network’s “Million Dollar Contractor,” and Lewine, author of the “Domains” and “Ask the Contractor” columns in the New York Times Magazine. Their book contains information for people from raw novices to more seasoned do-it-yourselfers, addressing everything from how to hammer a nail to how to replace a window. They provide basic information on how the parts of a house are constructed or operate – the roof, the foundation, the plumbing system, etc. – and include sections titled “The Dark Side” to warn of things to avoid or problems that might arise. They also offer lots of handy tips you don’t see in every home-repair manual. “What’s a Homeowner to Do?” is published by Artisan Books and sells for $17.95 in softcover. -- McClatchy-Tribune Information Services

Problem Solver: 100 Creative Answers to Your Most Common Decorating Dilemmas,” author Sacha Cohen recommends creating a mottled paint finish with a masonry roller and matte latex paint in two colors that look good together. The more uneven the walls, the stronger the contrast between the paint colors should be, she says. Pour a pint of each color into opposite sides of a roller tray, so they sit next to each other without mixing too much. Working in sections about 3 feet square, roll the roller once through the paint tray, and then roll the paint onto the wall in single, long, spacedapart strokes. Once most of the paint has been transferred from the roller to the surface, roll over the first strokes to gently blend the colors. Roll at different angles to create a subtle, dappled effect.

Interior designer and home stager Lynn Koerner of Interiors by Lynn in Streetsboro, Ohio, recommended starting by anchoring a seating area with an area rug. Choose a solid-color rug if the carpeting is busy, or a patterned rug on solid-color carpeting. A budget-friendly approach is to buy a carpet remnant and have the carpet store bind the edges to create a rug, Haught said. Then perform a little sleight of hand, Koerner said. Create interest higher in the room to draw attention up and away from the floor. She did that in one client’s living room by covering a fireplace wall in a subtle patterned wallpaper and creating an eyecatching arrangement of artwork and accessories on the mantel.

For a getaway that has both sleek style and a comfortable open layout, discover plan HMAFAPW01236 from Homeplans.com. The home covers1,498 square feet of finished living area on two levels. An unfinished basement provides an additional 1,042 square feet that can be finished later or used as storage. The wall of windows in the vaulted living-dining room lets light pour into the space and allows visitors to gaze out on a scenic view. Get cozy by the fireplace or step out to the wide deck. The U-shaped kitchen, with an adjoining laundry room, opens to the main living room with a seated snack counter. Note the smaller deck beyond the kitchen – a great place to stomp off mud before entering. With any vacation home, you’ll want storage for a heavy winter wardrobe, and this plan delivers with a wide closet just inside the entrance, another in the bedroom hallway and a large linen closet by the downstairs bathroom, in addition to bedroom closets and more linen storage upstairs. The master bedroom to the rear has a full bath. Two family bedrooms upstairs share another bathroom, which has a skylight.

after your tastes have changed. Painting it is possible, but it’s important to do so carefully so the paint job doesn’t look obvious. Before you paint, clean the tile thoroughly with trisodium phosphate, a heavy-duty cleaner sold at paint stores. Then prime both tile and grout with a good primer. Author Cohen recommends using a paintbrush to cover the tile edges and grout with the primer, and a roller on the tiles to create a smooth finish. Then paint only the tiles with satin paint and a gloss roller, applying in thin layers and avoiding the grout lines, she says. When all the layers are dry, roll over the tiles with a high-gloss clear enamel, again avoiding the grout lines. This isn’t the best approach for surfaces such as shower walls that are subjected to a lot of moisture, however. In that case, you can use a marine-grade coating such as a polyurethane oil-based enamel on both tile and grout. If you want contrasting grout lines, you’ll need to paint them in by hand. It might just be easier to hide unsightly tub or shower tile by hanging a pretty shower curtain, Haught said. It’s also a good way to hide an unattractive shower

door, she said. Too-high ceilings Cathedral ceilings look great in photographs, but sometimes they can make a room feel too cavernous for comfort. Haught recommended making the ceiling less obvious by painting it the same color as the walls, but in a lighter tint. Ask the paint store to mix the ceiling paint in a half formula of what’s used on the walls. And choose flat paint for ceilings, so it doesn’t draw attention by reflecting light. You also can create the perception that the ceiling is lower by hanging a large-scale lighting fixture that brings the eye down, she said. Drapery panels that extend only partway up the tall walls will also help bring the living space down to human scale. Overbearing fireplaces Brick fireplaces that cover most or all of a wall were the rage a few decades ago. Now that look can seem dated and the dark brick oppressive. Neither Koerner nor Haught has any qualms about painting the brick. Usually a neutral color is best, Koerner said, so the fire-

place becomes less dominant in the room. If you like a more contemporary appearance, consider removing or changing the mantel or other moldings, Haught said. She once filled in the flutings in an oak fireplace surround and painted it to create the more updated appearance her client wanted. Open layouts Rooms that are open to one another create a great flow, but they can make varying the wall colors difficult. Where does one color start and the next begin? In cases like that, it’s better to choose a single wall color for all the adjoining spaces and then add color to surfaces that aren’t walls, Haught said. In an adjoining kitchen and great room, for example, you might be able to add a pop of color in the cabinets or the backsplash. Or perhaps choose one accent wall to paint in a color that’s different from the other walls, she said. Don’t worry about the single wall color being too boring. Haught said the continuity creates a more relaxing backdrop than one that’s chopped up by a variety of colors.

Man fears woman’s divorce is triggered by a mutual childhood crush Dear Abby: One of my sister’s best friends, “Tara,” has had a crush on me since we were kids. She’s 21 and I’m 25. My sister always knew about it, but never told me. I had a crush on Tara, too, but I was too shy to tell her. I moved out of state when I turned 18, but Tara still lives there. She and my sister keep in touch. Now that I’m back in town, Tara has been coming to visit. We have no physical contact, only verbal. During one of the visits she confessed her crush and so did I. The trouble is, Tara got married a year ago and has a 2-month-old baby with her husband. She says she hasn’t been happy in her marriage and has

DEAR ABBY ADVICE filed for a divorce. We want to be together, but want to wait for the divorce to be final before starting a relationship. I suspect that she’s only divorcing her husband to be with me. Am I being too quick to judge? Is it a bad idea to be with her? Should we just remain friends? I need a woman’s opinion. — Uncertain in Texas Dear Uncertain: If you and Tara are serious about not starting a relationship until her divorce is final, then the answers to your questions will

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

become apparent during that process. But please remember, ending her marriage will probably not cause her husband to vanish into the ether. Because he’s the father of her baby, he will be part of your lives forever. Dear Abby: My husband, “Simon,” is a workaholic. I didn’t know him long before I married him, which was a mistake. He never adapted to being part of a couple. His rewards all came from work — the paychecks, kudos from clients and fellow employees, and others saying what a good provider he was. He bought our kids’ love with presents, not presence. He was gone at dawn, came home after the kids were in bed, volunteered to work on his “off” days and usually stayed later than scheduled.

CRYPTOQUOTE

He kept busy with everyone and everything except us. I raised our children alone and worked outside the home as well. I took them to their sports events, extra activities and to the synagogue. We didn’t need the “extra” money, but he was never satisfied, always wanting more. I was faithful to a ghost, living alone and crying for too long. After 30 years I realized I didn’t miss him anymore. He had broken my heart and fractured my dreams. It’s too late for me to start again and find love. Abby, tell young wives to trust their hearts and priorities. They deserve warmth, not cold cash. — Alone Now by Choice in Pennsylvania Dear Alone: What a sad story. You

married someone who may have had such an overwhelming fear of poverty that he sacrificed the joys of family for financial security. While you may not have had romance, I’m sure you have earned the love of your children. Allow yourself to enjoy what your husband has accumulated. And if you’ve had enough of solitude, consider this: It’s never too late to find love. People of every age do it every day, but first you need to find it within yourself. Unless you do, your bitterness will spill over. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are becoming wiser as you get to know yourself better. Research your past, and compare it to the present. Family pictures and mementos will be a springboard to broaden your sense of who you are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You often get accused of being stubborn. However, that same fixed quality may be your saving grace today. Besides, you have earned the right to be unreasonable once in a while. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be attracted to the tasks that take a herculean effort. You may have the sense that a job is too overwhelming to even know where you should start. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each new generation has the sense that what worked for their parents isn’t going to work for them. And they’re mostly right. But past generations still have much to offer you today, so listen up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Taking care of household tasks is more challenging than you thought it would be. Devote twice as much time to getting your surroundings in order than you think it will take. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You strive to listen more than you talk. People love it when you listen to them. You might be the only one who makes someone feel heard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your aesthetic is honed now, and you’ll be most attracted to people who have similarly strong tastes and a definitive style. However, be sure to look deeper.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Gender differences will be a part of today’s story. You may realize your own subtle biases and make slight adjustments to your approach with the opposite sex. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Using your charming social graces may just help you get exactly what you want. However, you’ll only be able to keep your object of desire if you also happen to be qualified to receive it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A project is coming together, and there are many people around you who could help you move things along. The one whose skills are equal to your own will be the perfect partner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your body is getting stronger, and because of this you also feel more in control of your emotions than you did earlier in the week. There will be a sense that a pressure is off you for now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Loved ones may have expectations that you are unaware of, and it’s important to be open. Inquire about what they think should happen and what they are really wanting from you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 17). People will like what you’re doing and giving. Receiving compliments with grace takes practice, and you’ll get plenty of it this year. Your connection with a special friend grows continually stronger. Spring brings different ways of getting around and new rituals and habits. Taurus and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 1, 24, 19 and 40.

The 2012 Volkswagen Passat least five or six grand higher for the V-6 or diesel engines. While longtime VW enthusiasts might view this as a car fit only for a warehouse club, the 2012 Passat should attract those who value space, good fuel economy, conservative looks and decent handling at a price will capture the hearts. ——— 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT: —Engine: Turbocharged 2.0-liter fourcylinder diesel —Wheelbase: 110.4 inches —Length: 191.6 inches —Weight: 3,396 pounds —Cargo space: 15.9 cubic feet —EPA rating (city/highway): 30/40 mpg —Fuel consumption: 44 mpg —Fuel type: Diesel —Base price, base model: $19,995 (excluding destination charge) —Base price, test model: $32,195 —As tested: Not available ——— ABOUT THE WRITER Larry Printz is automotive editor at The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va.

LARRY PRINTZ WHEELS The Volkswagen Passat has long found favor among automotive buyers who favor European handling and aesthetics at something less than BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi prices. And while the Passat’s upscale aesthetic differentiated the car from its midsize competition, it was trounced by less-expensive offerings in the U.S. market. In 2011, Volkswagen sold 22,835 Passats. Compare that to the Toyota Camry, which found 33,506 buyers in December 2011 alone. So, when Volkswagen unveiled its new Passat, the company also lowered the price. Most models cost thousands less than previous models in a bid to match lower-cost competitors from Hyundai and Kia. As a result of the market shift, Volkswagen no longer offers the Passat sold in Europe. Instead, the company designed a Passat with an eye towards pleasing American consumers, much the way Toyota and Honda have with the Camry and Accord: by building a larger specific model for North America. The new Passat, built in a new plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., is five inches longer and marginally wider and taller than the model it replaces. The car’s handsomely conservative slab-sided styling pays dividends inside. Once seated there, you’ll find the cabin is exceptionally roomy, without any styling compromises to block the view. The firm, supportive seats are wide, and legroom is generous. The instrument panel has a generally pleasing appearance, with the same sensibly conservative design that characterizes the exterior. But longtime VW fans will find that the accountants have been at work. Like their tonier Audi cousins, the material quality of Volkswagen interiors have set the standard for the industry, something other automakers benchmark. But the Pas120

A six-speed manual transmission is offered with the five-cylinder and the diesel engines. A six-speed automatic is offered on the five-cylinder, while Volkswagen’s six-speed automated manual dual clutch gearbox is the sole transmission with the V-6 and optional on diesel models. Volkswagen of America sent a turbo-diesel in top-of the-line SEL trim for testing. Of the different engines offered, I would encourage you to try the diesel. While rated at a mere 140 hp, it possesses 236 foot-pounds of torque, making this engine feel faster than it is. Power is adequate off the line, but the turbo quickly spools up, making the engine feel lively and furnishing good power at speed. The transmission rumbled unhappily at slower speeds, but seemed responsive otherwise. Considering my lead foot, fuel economy

is impressive, with a mix of city and highway driving returning mileage that would make hybrid owners jealous. Handling feels less European than before, with steering that lacks road feel, although it’s crisp, nicely weighted and feels adequately responsive. The suspension ably absorbs most bumps, although there’s a surprising amount of softness revealed during cornering or after hitting a large bump, which can cause the rear to step sideways. Overall, the new Passat lacks some of the old model’s grace, while still being fairly poised. Road noise is well-suppressed, as is diesel clatter. Prices start at $19,995 with the fivecylinder engine and manual transmission. Standard gear includes Bluetooth, dualzone climate control, six airbags and electronic stability control.

sat’s price cut has dictated otherwise. While the interior is well assembled, its feel is no longer a cut above the competition. Pop open the trunk, and you’ll find that it’s not fully lined. Lift up the trunk floor handle, and you’ll find a temporary spare tire. Most people won’t mind; they’ll gladly trade on the little things to save a lot of money. That’s why Volkswagen bid auf wiedersehen to the 200-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder offered in previous Passats as the base engine. In its place is the 170-hp 2.5-liter engine five-cylinder engine that powers the smaller Jetta. Unless you’re price-sensitive, opt for the pricier 280-hp V-6 or the turbocharged 140-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine. Both offer the power you’d expect without a penalty in fuel economy.
